and the bushfires; I think people are finally thinking, ‘Oh, climate change is a real thing’.” The official Clean Up Australia Day is on Sunday, March 1.

Dubbo Photo News February 27-March 4, 2020

TALBRAGAR FLOW Two large flows of water down the Talbragar River this month have sent significant amounts of water into the Macquarie River just below Dubbo, helping communities further downstream that have been desperately waiting for water. The two flows peaked at 17,000ML/day and 20,000ML/day, according to WaterNSW data. The Talbragar River at Elong Elong was at 0.64 metres at 9am yesterday. The river level there has been slowly dropping during this week – at the start of the weekend the same station had measured a river height of 1.84 metres. This photo shows the Talbragar running well at the Old Mendooran Road crossing on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile the Burrendong Dam level was up to 4.2 per cent of capacity yesterday, a much-need increase from the 1.6 per cent level it was sitting at earlier this month. More rain will be needed in the Burrendong catchment area before we’ll see a significant increase beyond that level, WaterNSW says. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/MEL POCKNALL

ISSUE

River Street Bridge debate continues By LYDIA PEDRANA REACTIONS to the announcement last week that the River Street Bridge will proceed, with new design, has been mixed among community members. The announcement, made by Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders, came last Wednesday alongside a report in which Transport for NSW (TfNSW) responded to the 310 submissions made by locals regarding the project. According to TfNSW, the development is part of the NSW Government’s $195 million commitment to ‘Building a Better Dubbo’ which aims to ease congestion and maintain reliable access through the city during flood events. The new proposal includes an increase in speed limit from 60 to 70 kilometres per hour, cycle lanes, the removal of a median strip reducing the width of the bridge, and a dedicated northbound slip lane off the bridge onto Bourke Street. Mr Saunders said he had been “heartened” by the feedback since the submissions report was released but acknowledged there are some people opposed to the bridge. “The overwhelming response

has been positive, with the majority of people realising this is a project that will be great for Dubbo,” Mr Saunders told Dubbo Photo News. “I am aware that there are still some people who are against the project but, as I have said plenty of times before, this isn’t a silver bullet for Dubbo’s current and future traffic needs. But it addresses a lot of issues, particularly in times when the Macquarie River is flooding.” Petition coordinator for the Stop the River Street Bridge Coalition, Karina McLachlain, has campaigned strongly against the bridge, believing a bypass at Troy Bridge is a better solution. She also thinks the new River Street Bridge design concept raises more concerns than the original. “On the actual bridge itself, they’ve narrowed it from where it was before. They were going to have a median strip down the middle which would have been a safety thing and stopped head on collisions, now they’ve actually taken that away and increased the speed limit to 70 kilometres per hour, so the bridge could be very dangerous for that reason,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

“They’ve also added cycle lanes, but unlike the L.H. Ford bridge where the pedestrian and cyclists are kept safe on the other side of a barrier, there’s going to be no barrier on the (new) bridge between the cyclists and the trucks. Cars and trucks are supposed to give cyclists a one-metre berth, so that means going over the middle line into the other lane to do that, and because we are travelling at 70 kilometres an hour, it’s going to be incredibly more dangerous for cyclists than it was before, even though they are promoting it as improving cycle safety.” Posts on the Stop The River Street Bridge Facebook page regarding the new proposal were met with comments suggesting it was a “waste of money” and a “crap design”. In response to feedback from those opposed to the River Street Bridge, Mr Saunders said safety will be a priority and further solutions to Dubbo’s growing traffic congestion will be considered. “Everything will be done in accordance with regulations to ensure safety for all road users, particularly ensuring cyclists can use the new bridge as a route to their brand new facility on River Street,” he said.

“A bypass of Dubbo, which some in the community are calling for, is not in Dubbo Regional Council’s current transport strategy, however it is something that can be looked at in the future and I encourage council to do the planning around that. “Along with the other components of the overall $195 million ‘Building A Better Dubbo’ project, and the $100,000 granted to Dubbo Regional Council to investigate options for a bridge to the south of the city, we are working to address the city’s traffic issues,” Mr Saunders said. Meanwhile, Dubbo City Toyota dealer principal David Hayes admits he wasn’t sold on the idea originally, but now believes it is a “wonderful investment by the government” that will enhance Dubbo. “I was sceptical at the start because I was concerned about the impact on my business, but I can see the benefits for the greater good of Dubbo, I can see that it’s going to relieve some of the congestion that we’ve got and allow access to that northern area which is really, really growing fast,” Mr Hayes said. “I can see the benefits, and there is going to be a significant

impact on my business, we’re going to lose some land, we’re also going to lose some parking, it’s going to restrict access to our service department, but anyway, I still support it generally as a concept and I think it’s going to be a good thing for the city.” And although TfNSW expects shovels to hit the ground in 2022, the Stop The River Street Bridge Coalition have vowed to keep fighting to block its go-ahead. Ms McLachlain said they have already collected between 9000 and 10,000 petition signatures against the project, which they would like to see debated in the Lower House. “(The fight is) definitely not (over), most definitely not,” Ms McLachlain said. “In fact, it’s just fired us up even more.” The River Street location was one of six high-level bridge options shortlisted by TfNSW and Dubbo Regional Council and put forward for community consultation in 2016. In 2017, River Street was announced as the preferred route based on TfNSW’s assessment of traffic impacts, environmental issues and community feedback.

‘God has called me to do this’

By NATALIE LEWIS

AS the first Aboriginal woman to be ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church, Gloria Shipp is quite humble about her achievements. She is on the go most days but believes you are never given more than you can handle. “I really believe that God has called me to this so he gives me the strength to do all things,” she told Dubbo Photo News. As a member of the Holy Trinity clergy in Dubbo, Rev Shipp has the Walkabout Ministry and runs a number of church-related events. She is also the Orana Juvenile Justice Centre chaplain, a founding member of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Anglican Council and involved with the Anglican Border Missions. She has also previously been named as the Dubbo Koori Interagency Network Elder of the Year. It’s a busy life but she wouldn’t have it any other way. “Pioneering is a word that’s been used. It is what it is.” Rev Shipp is a Kamilaroi woman who was born and raised in Nyngan. She has happy memories of going to church there.

“Going to church, it was a part of our life. We didn’t live far from the church and I went to Sunday School with my sister,” she explained. “There were bush brothers in Nyngan – Brother Norman and Brother Bruce. We got toys and games. They had a library and I love reading so I spent a lot of time there.” As an adult, Rev Shipp married and had three sons. Her faith remained a strong part of life. “We lived in Dubbo and went to Cobar to work, my husband Eddie worked on the pipeline there. “I became very much involved in the church community; I was running a women’s Bible study group in Cobar. “I really felt God’s calling then.” Rev Shipp spoke to the priest about her wish to become ordained but she came up against resistance. “The priest didn’t believe in ordination of women, he told me to visit the hospital,” she said. “But I really wanted to do it. They fought for years for women to be ordained. “So I got in touch with Bishop Bruce Wilson and he was excited.” With the Bishop’s blessing, Rev Shipp went to bible college in the

Northern Territory in 1990. “I did three years of theological study at Nungalinya in Darwin. “They weren’t used to women being there.” Darwin was a culture shock for Rev Shipp but after chatting with one of the nuns, she decided to stay and became a deacon in 1994 and a priest in 1996. In 2008, Rev Shipp became the Orana Juvenile Justice Centre chaplain where she works with teenage boys. “They range in age from 10 to 17 and call me Aunty, they do respect me,” she explained. Rev Shipp gives bible talks and officiates at special services such as memorials. She talks to the boys as a mother or grandmother would. “I always ask the boys what they want to be and then I pray for them,” she said. “I tell it to them straight. God doesn’t keep a record but the law of the land does. I try to encourage them to make a better life for themselves,” she said. “(After they leave) some of them stay out of trouble and they are fine, but some have gone on to the Big House (jail). A lot of them are reoffenders. They need something in the community when

Rev Gloria Shipp’s many duties include serving as the chaplain at the Orana Juvenile Justice Centre in Dubbo. “I try to encourage them to make a better life for themselves,” she said. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

they go home.” Rev Shipp cares a lot for the youngsters and wants the best for them. “One would hope and pray for them. I give them all a gift at Christmas time and Easter. I tell them that the door to your heart has no handle – only you can open the door.” Rev Shipp also runs women’s camps, Sunday School, bible study and an elders’ group. “The women’s camps have craft, culture and a healing service. We also do afternoon tea where we focus on women in the bible and women today.” The next event is on May 6. Rev Shipp said Holy Trinity Archdeacon Brett Watterson is very supportive of Aboriginal culture. “He talks about Aboriginal issues – he is opening doors. And there are different services for everyone.” It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for this trailblazing gutsy lady but she is as strong as her beliefs. “I don’t really set goals but I’ll just keep going.”

COUNCIL WATCH

Lawrence asks CEO to report on Council joining Cities Power Partnerships COUNCILLOR Stephen Lawrence has requested Dubbo Regional Council’s (DRC) CEO Michael McMahon report by Council’s March meeting on the process for the organisation to join the Cities Power Partnerships program (CPP). The CPP is described as “a coalition of the willing – made up of mayors, councillors and communities committed to a sustainable, non-polluting energy future”. It connects local councils with shared emissions reduction project interests across the pledge areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport and community advocacy. If council joins, they will have six months to identify five items included in the CCP pledge which it will strive to achieve. Cr Lawrence made the request as an amendment to the draft energy strategy and implementation plan 2020-2035. Cr Mohr disagreed with joining Cities Power Partners stating the program is affiliated with the Climate Council who he described as activists, hypocrites and having “far-fetched ideology”. Mayor Ben Shields shared Cr Mohr’s views describing the Climate Council as an extremist organisation but agreed joining the CPP should be researched. Cr Lawrence said, “I certainly believe strongly in climate science.”

Man charged over drug supply A 45-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested and charged with two counts of supply prohibited drug and possess prohibited drug. Police say officers attached to the Orana Region Enforcement Squad executed a search warrant at a premises on Gipps Street in Dubbo at 1.45pm on Tuesday. During the search, officers allegedly located and seized methylamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

NATIONAL AWARD

Council upgrading 6283 streetlights from this week

Dubbo Post Office is Number 1

COUNCIL’S bright $2.4 million idea of installing energy-efficient LED streetlights has begun this week. The switch to LED technology will save Dubbo Regional Council and the community approximately $570,000 per year in energy and maintenance costs and result in a reduction in power use of around 1784 MWh per year. “Street lighting is a significant expense for Council, in the vicinity of $1.2 million each year in energy and maintenance costs,” mayor Ben Shields said. “With close to 7000 streetlights across Council’s footprint, this upgrade will go a long way to reducing costs and providing significant long-term savings.” Costs are expected to be recouped over four years.

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THE Talbragar Street Australia Post staff of 10 are still coming to terms with the fact they’ve been nominated – and won – Best Australia Post of the Year for the whole of Australia. Managers Virginia Brown, Louise Taylor, Kim Butler and Trish Allen headed to Melbourne last week to attend the Australia Post Community and Consumer Conference, where the Isaac awards, named after the organisation’s first postmaster, were presented. “We had no idea,” Mrs Brown told Dubbo Photo News. “None whatsoever.” The annual awards celebrate teams and individuals from across Australia Post for outstanding customer service and community spirit. The Dubbo Post Office won $10,000 and a coveted Gold Isaac. Officially the team received the accolade in recognition of their support for the “Buy from the Bush” program and their affiliation with the Australia Red Cross’ community defibrillator program, through which the team and an off-duty doctor helped save the life of an elderly customer. “When ‘Buy from the Bush’ was taking off, we processed up to 35 to 40 per cent more parcels. We closed at five but were letting people in the back door, taking their cakes and products,” Mrs

Management and staff from the Talbragar Street Dubbo Post Office are number one in Australia. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Taylor said. “We did 120 puddings,” Mrs Brown added. “With online shopping it’s usually the parcels coming in, but with Buy from the Bush it was so good to see them going out for a change,” she said. “I think Buy from the Bush made people more aware of

what’s out here. There’s more in NSW than what stops at Penrith,” Mrs Taylor said. “It was also great to see how much people were helping each other. There was a show of real community spirit,” Mrs Brown said. The Dubbo post office ladies rubbed shoulders with the likes of

Ita Buttrose on the awards night who shared the advice that when she got her Australian of the Year, she used it as a platform for her work with Dementia Australia. “This award is definitely for Dubbo and the community. It shows good things happen here,” Mrs Brown said. Watch this space.

WATER CONSERVATION

Every drop counts at vigilant zoo BY NATALIE LEWIS DESPITE welcome rainfall in the district, facilities such as Taronga Western Plains Zoo need to remain vigilant about water conservation efforts. Now into the fourth month of Level 4 restrictions across the region, the limit on supply most impacts the zoo’s potable water source which is used in the Savannah Visitor Plaza and in the three overnight accommodation areas. Outside of these areas, the zoo is reliant on river water. The zoo’s director Steve Hinks said they have been conserving water for the past 18 months in the wake of prolonged drought conditions. “Over the 18 months we have been making an intensive effort to reduce water usage across the site,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “This includes reducing the frequency of irrigation to 50 per cent and a reduction of the irrigation program by half, resulting in only essential areas of the zoo being irrigated.” In the past three years, a number of infrastructure upgrades have also taken place including upgrading the irrigation system and installing computerised technology to save water and improve efficiency. A state-of-the-art pumping station for water supply has also been implemented. Other water conservation strategies being put in place include reusing pond water from across exhibits and upgrading to water-efficient sprinklers. The accommodation

shower heads have also been replaced to be more efficient. “Across the site we have also been assessing maintenance and cleaning practices that involve water and implementing changes to help reduce water usage for these practices,” Mr Hinks explained. “We are constantly monitoring the water usage across the site as animal welfare is always paramount. “ Zoo staff have been working closely with Dubbo Regional Council to utilise reclaimed water to ease reliance on river water. This can be used for moats, irrigation and animal husbandry requirements. “It is hoped this will be in place later this year and be able to supply these key areas.” There are also a number of watering devices installed around the zoo which have captured the public’s attention. “We have a number of drums spread across the zoo that are filled approximately once a week with water and then drip water on to the root zone of the large established trees across the site in a bid to throw them a lifeline and save them from dying,” Mr Hinks said. Over the next 12 months, Taronga Western Plains Zoo will commence development of a water management project to allow the site to hold, reuse and recycle water onsite. A new filtration system will also be constructed at the Hippo Lake to improve water management, quality and to allow it to be recycled. Planning for this project is already well underway.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo staff recognises the need to remain vigilant about water conservation efforts.

DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

By LYDIA PEDRANA REHEARSALS are done and the stage is set for the opening night of the Dubbo Christian Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (DCS) rendition of West Side Story, tonight. With rehearsals for the musical beginning in term four last year, the cast and crew of 90-odd students in Years 7 to 12 are ready to wow crowds over the next three nights. Set in New York City in the 1950s, the hit Broadway musical was originally produced by renowned ballet and musical choreographer Jerome Robbins. One of the DCS musical directors, Sarah Kelly, who has worked on and off as an English and Drama teacher at DCS for the last 20 years, said the entire team had worked hard throughout the tight rehearsal period and were ready to welcome a full house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking really good,â&#x20AC;? she told Dubbo Photo News proudly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the most amazing lead cast, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the kind of kids who I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go and learn your linesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been re-

ally committed, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve led the rest of the group really well.â&#x20AC;? She also explained why West Side Story was picked as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just because of the memorable music, colourful costumes and dazzling dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a couple of reasons for choosing West Side Story, to be honest one of the main reasons was because we had lots and lots of talented young boys coming up through Year 6 and in Year 7 already, and I wanted a show that would keep them involved and engage them in the arts, and excite them about that sort of lesson of participation,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other reason was that we decided we really loved to tell a story that is significant still, so a story for our time, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it worked originally because it was a rehash of Romeo and Juliet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a timeless tale in that sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some relevant things for our kids to think about; how they see each other or how they view themselves as part of a gang or as an individual, and what that means in terms of the choices that

they make.â&#x20AC;? Year 12 student Justin Blanch, 17, has been cast as Riff, the leader of the Jets gang who is based on Mercutio from Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Romeo and Juliet. Usually a sportsman, Mr Blanch was roped into filling a hole in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical two years ago but loved it so much he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist being involved again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something I never thought that I would do, but I did it two years ago and it was absolutely amazing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You got to know everybody so well, there was that real dependence on each other, and at the end we got together as a whole cast and just reflected on what we had been through together and that was such a special thing for me. So when it came around again, I was like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;absolutely, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try this out againâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?. While last time it was singing that Mr Blanch found the most challenging, this time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning how to portray a convincing fight scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (the fight scenes) are a bit like dances, but more physical,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

West Side Story

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to know the leader of the other gang really well as we work through complex moves where we have to trust each other a lot.â&#x20AC;? Triple threat Charlotte Frankham, 15, who is playing Maria, admits the music in the show has required a lot of practise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music has definitely been a big part of it, and it can be tricky at times, but we have worked through that and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sounding great,â&#x20AC;? Ms Frankham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, everyone has been amazing and worked really hard.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, the butterflies for 16-year-old India De Sousa Shaw, who is playing Anita, are starting to kick in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely nervous, but to be honest, we have rehearsed so much and I have a lot of trust in the rest of the cast, I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m less nervous for the show than the homework Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to catch up on,â&#x20AC;? she joked. z Dubbo Christian Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Side Story plays at 7pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 27-29, at 141 Sheraton Road, Dubbo.

VINTAGE FAIR AND SWAP MEET

Big weekend on the way in Wello By JOHN RYAN

WELLINGTON is shaping up for one of its biggest weekends with the annual Vintage Fair and Swap Meet this weekend. Saturday will see the parade through the town’s CBD, and Sunday is the Fair and Swap Meet at the town showground. There’ll be a huge Show and Shine for automotive enthusiasts, a couple of tractor pulls including one for the kids, live music, market stalls, working steam engines and a pie eating competition. But while all this is going on and attracting thousands of people to town, Wellington Arts has been working hard to create other incentives to visit. President Lisa Thomas told Dubbo Photo News that it’s important community groups collaborate to get the best outcomes for local residents and inject as much enthusiasm into these events as possible. Last month the group supported the Music In Between festival which saw people travelling from the Parkes Elvis Festival call in to Wellington on their way to Tamworth’s Country Music Festival. “A pop-up shop experience called Second Chance Sale was created in the old Western Stores building which resembled the days of the old Emporiums where you could shop for everything and anything under one roof,” Mrs Thomas said.

Wellington Arts members were invited to book a stall and shed their pre-loved, non-essential goods that grow as clutter in garages and spare rooms. There were also artists on site creating and selling unique and bargain-priced art works, handmade items, craft wares, second hand books, mobility scooters, crockery, clothes, a multitude of exquisite antiques, and many new re-gifted items. “For three days we had a continuous stream of hundreds of visitors who rummaged for easy to find bargains as they enjoyed the light-hearted camaraderie of the vendors which filled the building with laughter and sales pitching. “The huge success of this event saw all stall holders benefit by purging their excess clutter and

making a few dollars, along with the very social interactions of the many folk who strolled in to see what all the fuss and frivolity was about,” she said. On the back of that, Wellington Arts is staging a similar experience to coincide with this weekend’s Vintage Fair, and it should also boost the Book Fair being run by the local Lions Club. “The Second Chance Sale stalls will be in the Western Stores building in the centre of town along with the Lions Book Fair on both Saturday and Sunday from 8.30am to 4pm,” Mrs Thomas said. “The previous popularity of the event means that currently all stall sites are booked, but we can assure you that we will again provide an interesting array of treas-

ures to be discovered.” Wellington Arts is an organisation going from strength to strength and doing much to bolster economic and social confidence in the community. The Fong Lees Lane food extravaganza held in late October was a wonderful opportunity of bringing community together, according to Mrs Thomas. It’s an event she said entices foodies and friends to come together and try new and culturally different foods in a Chinatown atmosphere. “For 2019 the donations nearly reached $1000 and Wellington Arts is putting this money back into our drought stricken local community businesses,” Mrs Thomas said. “Those businesses who regularly provide support and assistance to Wellington Arts have been provided with gift vouchers from the donations received at Fong Lees Lane – raffle tickets can be purchased at each of the respective supporting 19 local businesses for $2 each. “The 19 winners will be drawn on March 27 at the local Rotary markets, and will receive a $50 gift voucher to be spent at the business house drawn, with all money raised from raffle ticket sales going back into the purchase of more vouchers for businesses in Wellington,” she said. The aim is to see the ticket sales keep going around a circular local economy for many months.

Geurie water warning dropped, Wellington still on alert GEURIE residents no longer need to boil tap water before consumption as the water treated at the Geurie plant now meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, according to a Council notice released on Tuesday. But just 20 kilometres down the road in Wellington, the Boil Water Alert remains in place. Geurie has been on alert since January 30 and Wellington since February 5, after rain and dust storms caused high levels of turbidity in the Macquarie River and flows into the treatment plans. In announcing the alert lift in Geurie, Dubbo Regional Council director infrastructure, Julian Geddes, thanked residents for their patience and cooperation. “It has helped us during a challenging and unusual time in returning the town’s water to acceptable standards,” he said. Mr Geddes said there had been improvements in Wellington’s water, but not to the same levels as Geurie. “We are investigating a range of extra further short-term treatment options to improve the town’s water supply quality.”

Conversations helping overcome mental ill health By LYDIA PEDRANA INDUSTRY experts believe we are making progress with mental health in the region. Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) manager Tessa Caton said more dialog around the topic has a major impact on how the community perceives mental health as well as giving individuals the confidence to reach out for guidance. “We have definitely seen an increase in the conversations around mental health and mental ill-health – in the com-

munity and in the media – which has helped to reduce stigma and encouraged people to seek help,” Ms Caton told Dubbo Photo News. RAMHP is state-wide program funded by the NSW Ministry of Health which works to link rural people with the help they require. The program is managed by the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health (CRRMH) in partnership with rural NSW Local Health Districts. Currently, there are 20 RAMHP staff coordinators living and working across

NSW, including Dubbo, identifying those in need and connecting them to appropriate support. According to their annual report, in 2018 RAMHP helped 3385 people find the right type of support and trained nearly 10,000 people to look after their own mental health and to support others. CRRMH research revealed that in 2016, the number of suicides per 100,000 people in rural and remote Australia was 50 per cent higher than in the cities, hence suicide prevention is a major

focus. The organisation takes pride in understanding exactly what rural and remote communities go through and create targeted resources specifically designed for them. “People living in rural and remote areas face a range of challenges unique to living outside a major city,” Ms Caton said. “These include drought, floods and fire as well as isolation. “We need to recognise these and work towards implementing proven strategies to rural needs.”

Ms Caton also highlighted the importance of community when it comes to dealing with mental health in rural areas. “Communities can play a large role in helping to support those who are vulnerable to mental ill health,” Ms Caton said. “There are some great examples of communities working together in collaboration and the CRRMH has supported these community wellbeing collaboratives, recognising them as important pathways to mentally healthy communities and thereby reducing suicide rates”.

DANCE CAREER

Saying ‘yes’ to opportunity opens stage doors By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WHEN Beau Dean Riley Smith steps on to the Dubbo Regional Theatre stage in March to dance the story of historical figure “Bennelong”, there’ll be glimpses of his own professional journey, which began by being born Indigenous, in Dubbo. Mr Smith won the prestigious Helpmann Award for Best Male Dancer in 2018 for his portrayal of this particular role, which is not a bad achievement considering he’d geared his HSC to a career working with animals, then followed his heart to study acting – and nowhere was “dancer” even a consideration. “When I was in high school about ten years ago, I actually was studying to hopefully get into uni and become a zoologist. I wanted to work with animals. My HSC wasn’t up to par with the standards that were required to get into that. “I don’t know why, but a memory came into my head, when I was at Narromine High School where a teacher said to me I should think about being in the arts. In drama class she thought I was really good,” he said. Mr Smith discovered a course at WAPPA, the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, and after a bit of “big noting” because he’d had no formal training, he was accepted. “It was quite amazing to be around a group of young adults who were inspired by the arts and had this hunger and drive to succeed in whatever pathway they chose.” After graduating and getting lots of call backs, it was suggested he audition to NAISDA, the National Aboriginal Islander Skills Development Association dance college where he auditioned for a dance placement, by performing a spoken monologue. “I was lucky enough I got accepted. I just completely fell in love with dance. I just really connected with that art form and that way of storytelling throughout the body and the process of how things are created. “They put me straight into second year. I was there for three years. They really pushed me. I always felt like I was the underdog. That worked for me though because I was very hungry to prove myself and my

work. Then in my third year I was lucky enough to audition for Bangarra and was lucky enough to be accepted,” Mr Smith said. “I’d had people telling me I would never succeed, and I wouldn’t be able to become a dancer. I was a bit overweight. I used to be 100 kilos. It was nice that Bangarra took me for my dance and what I brought to the stage instead of looking at what I looked like. “I wasn’t like any of the dancers in the company. Most dancers in any company, they’re quite fit and strong. They look athletic. I’m short. Stocky. I’ve got a bit of meat on me. I’m quite voluptuous. My mum always said the puppy fat will go and I’m still waiting,” he said laughing loudly. Mr Smith’s advice to young people considering a career in the arts, and dance, is to not let someone else’s judgement affect what you want to do.

` I wasn’t like any of the dancers in the company. Most dancers in any company, they’re quite ﬁt and strong. They look athletic. I’m short. Stocky. I’ve got a bit of meat on me... a “If you really love something then you should just go for it. Times are changing. The stereotypes of what a dancer is, is changing. Say yes to opportunity. Never take no for an answer. “What’s really beautiful about Bangarra, that’s different to other companies, is that we all look completely different. We all have completely different upbringings, our backgrounds are different, our body types are different, our structures are different. There’s not one person that looks the same and I think that is what makes our company so strong. “We all come in with our story and our own journey and that is celebrated within this company. Being different is amazing and means you’re Dubbo-born Beau Dean Riley Smith’s career path began as a Narromine High Schooler, doing his HSC, and prounique. “Don’t stress to want to conform to gressed to winning Australia’s highest honour in dance. It’s a testament to embracing differences and saying yes to opportunities. PHOTO: EDWARD MULVILL what other people expect of you.”

Skilled worker now calls Dubbo home By JOHN RYAN IT was a long and winding road for Saeid Mahmoudi before he ended up in Australia, and his current job in Dubbo as maintenance planner for Fletcher International Exports, but the skills and experience he picked up along the way have uniquely qualified him for the complex and challenging role. “I’m from Iran and I was born in a beautiful town at the north of the country, a very green area like a European country, south of the Caspian Sea. Then we moved to the capital, Tehran. I finished my studies at university in Tehran and I was working there for five years,” Mr Mahmoudi told Dubbo Photo News. “I’m a civil engineer and town planner and I worked for five years for a construction company that used to build high-rise buildings and industrial projects in Tehran, and then I had a two year break for studying. I was in Sweden finishing my masters’ degree in town planning, then I came to Australia in January 2012 on a provisional skilled worker visa. “I had to work in regional areas for two years to be able to apply for permanent residency,” he explained, adding that it took another 18 months on top of the original two year period to get his permanent residency. “(That was) three

times longer than the regular timeframe – for no reason! “It’s more than three years now that I’ve been an Australian citizen,” he said. He chose Dubbo because he was looking for a good job to kick-start his new life in Australia as well as hoping to capitalise on his skillbase to secure a more challenging role after he’d proven himself at work. He got his start at Fletcher International as a labourer in production which was a massive challenge all by itself for him, but even getting such a job took three months of applying for work. “For someone of my background, I hadn’t lifted anything heavier than a pen for years and so lifting 20 kilos of load again and again every day (was a new experience). I lost 15 kilos in the first six months,” Mr Mahmoudi said. “After that first year, motivated by my wife, I talked to HR (Human Resources) to change my role, with my skills. So they offered me a job as a QA (Quality Assurance) officer at Loadout. While I was working at that position, I started working in maintenance on weekend jobs for a few weeks, and then I got a job offer from the maintenance manager to work as a trade assistant.” He said things changed quickly in the first year as soon as he could prove his potential as a project en-

gineer during the first construction projects. “The job in maintenance is challenging all the time, we’re always improving different parts of the plant, there’s always new ideas and new designs to make things better and more efficient,” he said. His current role is as diverse as it is hectic. His work desk is covered with plans and documentation but he says he thrives on being able to envisage what needs to be done to make production more efficient, and then drive projects to

make that happen – from the design stage to setting the machines up in the finished workspaces. Mr Mahmoudi laid out some of the duties he could be performing on a daily basis: “Organising jobs daily, weekly, for the future, organising for the service of the equipment and just working on the new projects coming on (such as the) extensions in different areas, new buildings, organising contractors coming in, their inductions, safety paperwork, the permits they need to do jobs,

all that sort of things.” He’s now been in the role for seven years, he bought a house in Dubbo four years ago, has a threeyear-old daughter and has become an Australian citizen. “All the good things I have achieved so far, couldn’t have happened without my hard work, family support, and obviously the opportunities given by Fletchers,” Mr Mahmoudi said. He’s visited most of Australia’s major population bases on the coast, but despite having in-demand skills that could get him a job anywhere, he loves calling Dubbo home. “I’ve travelled all over Australia, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Central Coast, Sydney obviously, but we always miss home, we like to be in Dubbo, in this area,” he said. “The experience of living in a big city such as Tehran with high-rise buildings everywhere – where people waste their time in traffic jams for getting to work or going for shopping -made me sick enough of such a lifestyle that I never thought of moving to a big city in Australia after I got my permanent residency here. “I enjoy living in Dubbo. Five minutes to work, five minutes to shopping and you have more spare time to spend with your family.”

A MONTH into the new school year, the families of 2020 kindergarten starters have now settled into their new weekday routine. Alexis Kimberley Stanley, 5, had a smooth start to her schooling life at Buninyong Public School this year. While the only tears on day one were from mum Amy, Alexis has enjoyed joining her sevenyear-old sister, Azarliah, at big school. “They both love school. I thought my younger one, because she started kindy, I thought she would be a bit nervous, but no, she loves it, she didn’t even cry,” Mrs Stanley told Dubbo Photo News. “I did get a bit teary on the first day, but I knew she would be fine because she had an older sibling there.” But what has most impressed Mrs Stanley is how much Alexis has learnt in such a small amount of time. “There are lots of little things that tell me she is learning a lot and I’ve seen so much improvement myself,” she said. “She will now pick a pen up herself now and write her name

without me tracing it. “And she must be learning about animals because she keeps asking, ‘Mum, what does a duck say? Quack, quack, quack.’” But of course, there are still lots of things to get used to. “She doesn’t really like packup time and all the full-on rules, but she’s getting the hang of that bit.” Mahi Jadhav, 5, also started kindergarten this year, but was given a heads up on some of the do’s and don’ts by older brother, Nil, who is now in Year 6. “On her first day, her first words were that she didn’t want to get a late note,” said Mahi’s mum, Hema, laughing. “She has seen her brother get a late note and he got upset, so she was eager to go on time.” Mrs Jadhav also commented on how much her son had stepped up since Mahi began school. “Nil has started being more responsible because he has his sister with him now and he is feeling like he has to take care of her,” she said. “They have started taking the bus together and he is the big brother taking care of his little sister.”

EAR HEALTH

Hope arrives at Hear our Heart By JOHN RYAN THE wishes of Dubbo’s Hear our Heart Bus project (HoH) have finally been heard – the essential service has finally recruited a permanent audiologist after a four-year search. Hope Chan completed her Masters in Audiology in 2019 from Flinders University in Adelaide and has selected the Hear our Heart Ear Bus to kick off her career. HOH’s Virginia Redenbach said it’s a massive relief. “Hope commenced her employment with us this week and has been getting used to her new surroundings and our policies and hearing testing protocols, as well as our pathway referral processes,” Mrs Redenbach told Dubbo Photo News. “Our project doesn’t attract any Government funding for staff and is 100 per cent community-owned. “Whilst we are beyond thrilled to have secured a full time audiologist, it is expensive to be able to offer this kind of service to our communities, therefore we’re seeking community partnerships and asking local businesses for ongoing financial assistance to ensure we are able to continue our projects current commitments,” she said. Hope was born in Australia, however moved to Taiwan with

Council revokes $9.3 million funding deed for multisport facility

DUBBO Regional Council will formally withdraw from the $9.3 million NSW Government Regional Sports Infrastructure Fund it had successfully bid for, planned for a multisport complex, by executing a revocation document. While it did not physically take receipt of the $9.3 million, the success of the project depended on additional project funding from the Commonwealth and the NSW Government in the vicinity of $44 million. Subsequent applications were not successful. The project’s control group consists of Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders and personnel from the NSW Government Office of Sport, Charles Sturt University and PCYC.

her family when she was around five years old, returning to Australia two years ago to complete her masters degree in audiology. She said she researched the HoH organisation before applying for the job and was inspired by what it had been doing around helping children with hearing concerns obtain early intervention, as well as the grassroots community ear health education the project had energised. “HoH has made a lot of effort to build up a comprehensive system which helps children with hearing loss to get ear health educa-

tion, early diagnosis, early intervention such as educating school teachers and parents, and referring children who have significant ear problems to ear nose and throat specialists and Hearing Australia,” Ms Chan said. It was a major and daunting step for her to leave family and friends, most of whom are Adelaide-based. “At first it was, as I needed to move away from my family and friends. Most of them are in Adelaide and Brisbane, and Dubbo is quite far away from both places, but my dad really encouraged me

as he had worked in rural areas in Australia and truly enjoyed his experience,” Ms Chan said. “As a first year graduate it is very exciting to be able to participate in this sort of project. Most of my classmates are currently working in hearing aid companies so it really highlights how unique and valuable my experience here is. Most of them were really excited for me, especially my friends in the Audiology course. “To be honest, the only thing I knew before I come here is that the biggest Australian wild zoo is in Dubbo,” she said.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

She was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with inflict grievous bodily harm.

Weapons seized after lengthy investigation

Mitchell Highway accident

POLICE have uncovered a huge stash of guns which could be linked to recent shootings in the area. Months of police work have gone in to investigating a number of offences involving firearms across the Western Region last year, with Strike Force Ramose established after four men forced their way into a home on Gobolion Street, Wellington, armed with shotguns and a machete on February 12 last year. Police say in that incident a 37-year-old man was assaulted and struck with a machete, before being shot in the groin. He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Orange Base Hospital where he underwent surgery. On November 30 a 38-year-old man was shot in the legs at a unit block in Wellington’s Maxwell Street. That victim was conveyed to Wellington Hospital where he sought medical treatment, he was later transferred to Dubbo Base Hospital. Neither of these victims sustained life-threatening injuries in the attacks. In December last year detectives seized two rifles from a Wellington address and they’re currently being forensically examined. Last month detectives executed

AROUND 12.30pm on February 21 police and other emergency services responded to a serious head on collision between two cars on the Mitchell Highway about 20 kilometres west of Dubbo on the Mitchell Highway. Police say a red Nissan Pulsar driven by a 26-year-old Dubbo woman was travelling toward Dubbo and upon entering a bend crossed to the incorrect side of the road and into gravel. The driver tried to correct the vehicle back onto the roadway and collided head on with a grey Mazda 323 travelling in the opposite direction on the Mitchell Highway being driven by a 74-year-old Nyngan woman. The driver of the Nissan suffered whiplash, with the driver of the Mazda suffering chest pain. Both were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance staff and transported to Dubbo Base Hospital for further examination. Both cars sustained major damage and will probably be written-off. Police are still investigating the accident, according to inspector Dan Skelly. “It is extremely fortunate that nobody was killed in this accident – it doesn’t get much worse than two cars coming together head-on at speed,” Insp Skelly said. “Crossing to the other side of

a search warrant in Swift Street, Wellington, where they seized a shortened firearm, with inquiries continuing into the ownership of that gun. Following further inquiries, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Target Action Group with the assistance of detectives executed a search warrant at an address in Yeoval on February 13 and during the search officers seized 11 firearms, three pistols and a large amount of ammunition. Police are conducting investigations for a possible link between all offences. Detectives are appealing for anyone in the community who may have information that could assist with their investigation to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Serious assault charges for woman A WOMAN has faced Dubbo Local Court following an alleged assault in Gilgandra earlier this month. About 3am on February 8, a 33-year-old woman waiting for a lift home on Mullion Street was allegedly hit in the face several times by a 35-year-old female who was known to her. The woman sought medical treatment from Gilgandra Hospital before being transferred to Dubbo Base Hospital. Due to the significant injury to her eye, she was airlifted to Westmead Hospital for further treatment. Police commenced an investigation and following inquiries arrested the alleged assailant in Dubbo on Monday this week.

EMERGENCY REPORT School zone safety LOCAL police are reminding road users to slow down and take extra care on the roads with students back at school.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Command officers are increasing their presence around schools to ensure drivers are exhibiting responsible driving behaviour and observing the 40km/h school zones. School zones are generally active from 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4pm and police will be on hand to ensure the safety of students. Western Region Traffic Tactician inspector Ben Macfarlane said his officers will continue targeting those who are speeding, double parking, or using phones in school zones. “Whilst we generally see good compliance from motorists, I cannot accept that people are not aware of the 40km/h limit in school zones and other safety requirements,” inspector Macfarlane said. “The school zones have been in place for many years, and I ask motorists to give driving safely their full attention at all times. “Drivers wanting additional reminders of the speed limit can also

download the Speed Advisor App, which provides audio alerts about speed limit changes, including when you enter a school zone, or if you are speeding,” he said. Dubbo Photo News snapped this highway car doing double duty – checking that drivers were coming to a complete halt at the busy Tamworth/Fitzroy Street intersection as well as keeping an eye out for dangerous driving in the school zones covering St Laurence’s Primary and Dubbo South Public School. There’s nothing like a highway patrol car parked in a school zone near two STOP signs to get drivers to behave.

Dubbo drug offences THE police came knocking on the door of one resident in Cobra Street on February 19. Local detectives investigating drug supply issues in the state’s central west executed a search warrant and located and seized methylamphetamine and cash. A 36-year-old man was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station to be charged with supply prohibited drug, possess prohibited drug, recklessly deal with proceeds of crime, owner/occupier knowingly allow use as drug premises and goods in personal custody suspected being stolen. The accused was refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court.

Nyngan illegal hunt POLICE have charged three men following reports three men were seen trespassing and chasing goats

on a property near Girilambone, about 70km north of Nyngan. About 5.30pm on February 20 police allege the men fled the scene when they were noticed acting suspiciously, allegedly driving their Toyota Hilux utility through multiple fences to get away. Following inquiries, the trio were arrested in Coolabah and taken to Nyngan Police Station. Police searched the Hilux, locating hunting knives and cattle prods that will undergo forensic examination. The three men – aged 22, 29 and 48 – were issued Court Attendance Notices for enter private land to hunt without owner consent and enter enclosed lands without consent, they’ll appear in court next month. NSW Police Force State Rural Crime Coordinator, Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside, said this arrest is the result of a dedicated team of officers in the Central North Police District taking rural crime seriously and responding in a timely manner. “Local police are very committed to not only preventing but responding to and disrupting rural crime offenders,” Det Insp Whiteside said. “I encourage all landholders and farmers throughout the state to report all rural crime immediately, to ensure that local uniform officers and the Rural Crime Prevention Team increase the chances of tackling rural crime.” Central North Police District Commander superintendent Andrew Hurst said that there is no information too small or great to re-

Allergic… to an ant! By Nikki Roberts, 5IZSM\QVO IVL +WUU]VQKI\QWV[ 7‫ٻ‬KMZ I\ \PM ;KPWWT WN :]ZIT 0MIT\P When we think of allergies, we commonly associate them with food or the environment, like a peanut allergy or hay fever. Insect bites and stings can also induce an allergic reaction, and bees and wasps can be very dangerous to those with a severe allergy. But did you know you can also have an allergic reaction to an ant? Up until recently, I didn’t think I was allergic to anything. Other than the odd bout of hay fever, I’d never had an allergic reaction. Then in December last year, while sitting on the lounge in my house, I discovered some ants had made their way into the window behind me. Ouch – I’d been stung! The next morning, the bumps on my neck were extremely itchy. In a matter of hours this progressed to large, itchy hives all over my torso. Later that evening I started vomiting and my face and airways began to swell. I was ﬁnding it harder to breathe, so I called an ambulance and was taken to hospital. After I was given medication to counter the reaction, I went home and by the next day the swelling started to subside – thank goodness! The culprit was the Jack Jumper Ant. In areas where they are common, population surveys have shown between 2 and 3 percent of people will have a general allergic reaction to these ant stings, while around half of those can have a severe and life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.

What is a Jack Jumper Ant? Named after the jumping-jack firecracker, they tend to jump towards victims and to follow up with painful, fiery stings. Jack jumper ants are about 10 to 15mm long and have a black body with orange/brown pincers and limbs. Like bees and wasps, they don’t bite. They grasp with their jaws and sting with their tail. They are aggressive and can sometimes jump from surrounding vegetation. Where are they found? Jack Jumper ants are found in NSW, Tasmania, Victoria, ACT, South Australia and some parts of Western Australia and Queensland. They prefer disturbed, sparsely vegetated and stony ground, so as well as being common in the bush, they also like to colonise roadsides, patchy lawns, pathways and heavily grazed paddocks. Nests are typically found under logs and rocks and can often be spotted from the mounds of gravel that mark the entrance holes. Allergy to ant stings The stings of Jack Jumper ants are very painful. Local swelling is common, while large local swellings can also occur, lasting a few days at a time. The most serious reactions are known as generalised allergic reactions, of which the most severe is called anaphylaxis. What is anaphylaxis? Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It occurs after exposure to an allergen, like foods, insects or medicines. In some cases, anaphylaxis is preceded by swelling of the face, lips and eyes, and hives or welts on the skin. If you suspect someone is having an anaphylactic reaction, it’s vital you seek urgent medical help. Signs and symptoms include: • Difficulty/noisy breathing • Swelling of tongue • Swelling/tightness in throat • Difficulty talking and/or hoarse voice • Wheeze or persistent cough

Before • • •

After

Abdominal pain and vomiting Loss of consciousness and/or collapse Pale and ﬂoppy (in young children)

What if I am allergic? Studies show that around 70 per cent of people with Jack Jumper ant allergy will have another allergic reaction if they are stung again. People with allergic reactions to Jack Jumper ants should avoid them where possible and see your GP or healthcare provider to develop an allergy action plan. If you think you are having a severe allergic reaction, always seek urgent medical help. Where can I get more information? The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) is the peak professional body of clinical immunology and allergy in Australia and New Zealand. They have a wealth of resources on all types of allergies, including this information and more about the Jack Jumper Ant. Visit www.allergy.org.au.

WHAT’S ON

Markets and Music coming to Mumbil By JOHN RYAN THE region’s smaller towns are working hard to stage festivals and events to attract visitors who’ll cause a spending boost to their local economies, and Mumbil is no exception. The village is staging the Mumbil Markets and Music Festival being held on the Mumbil oval on Saturday, March 7, and the strong line-up features country music hall-of-famer Don Costa. He’ll be joined by Tamworth Star Maker finalist Simon Busmann who has entertained crowds throughout the world, along with local favourites Tracey Charman and Mick Austin from Wellington who’ll be playing ‘60s to ‘90s covers, including country and western. Mumbil Advancement Association’s Pam Gough told Dubbo Photo News it will be a great day out. “If nothing else these artists make travelling to Mumbil a worthwhile experience to listen to and enjoy,” Mrs Gough said. Country music hall-of-famer Don Costa will be one of the special guests at “It’s an inaugural event organ- the Mumbil Markets and Music Festival on Saturday, March 7.

The first licensed premises, the Railway Hotel, was built in 1889 alongside the newly completed railway line from Sydney to Dubbo. Being adjacent to the Mumbil Railway Station, it was a popular watering hole for travellers. In 1966 it became the Burrendong Hotel which burnt down in 1979 and was rebuilt as the Mumbil Tavern in 1981. Under the current owners the name has changed back to the Burrendong Hotel and this remains a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike and will be in full swing during the Festival. Interestingly, Burrendong is an aboriginal word for hunting place, meeting of the waters or one of the words for Koala and sadly there don’t appear to be any remaining ones in the district. In 1947, after the end of World War II, planning for the Burrendong Dam commenced and a sealed road was constructed from Mumbil to the dam site. Cottages were built at Mumbil to house some 600 dam workers employed on the dam construction which commenced in 1950 and was completed in 1965. Currently the population of Mumbil is around 450 people and the village offers affordable housing, home run business opportunities and a country lifestyle. The world-renowned Burrendong Arboretum is on the road from Mumbil to the Dam and well worth checking out.

STUDY

The secret life of platypii Volunteers needed to help measure impact of drought on ‘near threatened’ platypus By NATALIE LEWIS THE normally elusive platypus will come into the spotlight this weekend as part of a study in the Dubbo area. Conducted by the Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre, the survey involves data collection to gauge platypus numbers in this part of the Macquarie River. Wambangalang principal Kristy Robberts said a number of factors have impacted on local animal populations and the platypus was a very difficult creature to track. “They are quite shy,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “And it’s hard to know during drought what their numbers are like.” Mrs Robberts said there is an urgent need to find out what impact the drought was having on local platypus populations so that relevant conservation action could be considered. The Wambangalang EEC is working closely with Dubbo Field Naturalists, the Dept of Planning, Industry and Environment, the Australian Platypus Conservation and the Atlas of Living Data to compile information. “All of our data will be sent there. We had very few records for Dubbo even though we had heard a lot of anecdotal stories. “The first priority is to obtain more reports about the past and present occurrence of the platypus in the region. They have been seen within urban areas.” An initial study was done in December 2019 which involved wildlife carers and zoo volunteers giving their time to make observations in areas along the river. Mrs Robberts went along as an observer on that occasion and was rewarded with a platypus spotting. “It was so exciting when one popped up,” she said. “It was pretty special.” Mrs Robberts said platypuses are fairly territorial with a narrow range.

“Generally they are active at dawn and dusk,” she explained. “That’s what we are trying to look at.” As well as the impact of drought, the study will look at other factors such as recent water inflow into the local river system. Human presence is also detrimental to the native animal’s habitat. “Anything we do that impacts on the quality of waterways including rubbish and littering affects their lifestyle and habitat,” Mrs Robberts said.

ABOUT THE PLATYPUS z They are one of two monotremes (egg-laying mammals) in Australian native wildlife z Their diet is yabbies, mussels, worms, shrimp and other water invertebrates z They are very secretive creatures that feed at dawn and dusk (crepuscular) z They eat the equivalent of their entire body weight in food each day, so they must be more active than what we see. z They are most active in September breeding season and March when juveniles leave the burrow.

“Fertilisers and pesticides, stock access and cats and dogs. “With the drought, you know they are here, but you just don’t see them. In floods they have been seen in areas not seen before. Like the fish kill, their habitat is affected by ash and mud. It can impact on water quality, food sources.” Limited habitat has impacted platypii to the point where they have entered the ‘near threatened’ category of the endangered species classification. “They have actually shifted a category over the last few years according to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature),” Mrs Robberts explained. “They are a data deficient species. We don’t have a lot of information because they are so cryptic generally. This data set is really important.” The survey requires people to volunteer their time at places along the riverbank to watch for signs of platypus for a period of two hours. “Firstly, we are asking people if they have seen them in Dubbo before, (to add those sites) to the survey. Then we will hold an information session that explains the process and tells them what

to look out for during the survey (and safety) which will be two hours followed by a barbecue breakfast.” The survey area is mainly between Dubbo and Geurie but other sites will also be considered. Mrs Robberts said any information is useful for the purpose of collecting more data about the numbers of platypuses in the area. “Anyone who would like to join the survey or has relevant information is urged to share the details. “Even if there’s no information coming in, we’ve got an idea of what was seen,” she said. “The one thing the community volunteers need to know is they might not see something. But knowing they’ve not seen something is just as important as knowing where they are. They are such a unique species.” z Anyone who would like to join the survey or has relevant information is urged to share the details. Reports can be submitted to Wambangalang EEC either via email at wambangala-e. school@det.nsw.edu.au or on 02 6887 7209 or via the Australian Platypus Conservancy website www.platypus. asn.au. All records are entered into a conﬁdential database which is only used for genuine conservation purposes. The survey will take place on Sunday, March 1.

Dry conditions take toll on koalas

THE ongoing drought is continuing to impact the region’s koala population. Since November 2019, the Taronga Western Plains Zoo Wildlife Hospital has administered veterinary treatment to 22 koalas. The main health issues affecting the species include starvation, dehydration, heat stress, and chlamydia, which spreads fast among koala populations. “The ongoing drought conditions combined with habitat loss and the extreme heat during the summer months has really put a lot of pressure on regional Koala populations,” said senior veterinarian, Dr Benn Bryant. “The number of koalas we are seeing at present is unprecedented. We have seen more koalas through our Wildlife Service in the past three months than we would normally see in a year.” Koalas rely on the fresh tips or new growth of eucalypt leaves and because there has been little rainfall recently, the animals are travelling further looking for food sources. “Currently we have eight koalas receiving treatment in the Wildlife Hospital and to feed these animals in our care, keepers and horticultural staff are collecting 80 eucalypt branches a day,” said Dr Bryant. “We also have Zoo and YATZ (Youth at the Zoo) volunteers helping to create eucalyptus paste on a regular basis. This paste is then syringe fed to the sick koalas to help meet their fluid and nutritional requirements.” The past year has been one of the busiest for the zoo’s Wildlife Hospital with over 600 wildlife cases coming through the door.

Dr Bryant puts this down to the harsh conditions we are currently experiencing which sees mammals, reptiles and birds injured as they search for food and water, become displaced from their natural habitats or suffer from being underweight.

Church leader: We must care for the planet, take care of the creation Spreading the climate change message now an official guideline of the Uniting Church By LYDIA PEDRANA LOCAL church leader Reverend Peter Harvey said it’s time to take responsibility for our future. The Minister to the Uniting Church congregation in Wellington wants to see the government accept the science of climate change and take action before it’s too late. “We need a government who is going to provide us with a clear and effective policy on climate change, to have a body of people who believe the evidence, read the evidence and come to terms with the reality of it,” Rev. Harvey told Dubbo Photo News. “You’ve only got to look at the world around us; we’ve gone from drought, to fire, to flood, all extreme events, unpreceded events in our history that, (while) not caused entirely by climate change, (are) exacerbated by climate change – the impact has just been magnified and blown out of control because of climate change. “Our responsibility is to care for the earth, care for the planet, care of the creation that we are part of, and rather than destroying it, let’s do something to show that we do care.” The Uniting Church has been vocal about its stance on climate change since it became one of the first major institutions to endorse the controversial school climate change strike last September. Now, spreading the climate change message is an official guideline in the church’s current synod. “It is a policy of our synod, which is our state body of the Uniting Church. There is a policy to highlight the impact of climate change and the church’s response to it in this period of the synod which is an

18-month period at the moment.” Earlier this month, Rev. Harvey joined a climate change protest outside Parliament House where people brought wheelbarrows full of burnt remnants from the south coast fires to make a statement about the devastating impact they had on communities. He believes replacing fossil fuels with renewables is the only way to ensure a future for generations to

come. “The fires and the floods and the drought is happening because humankind is changing the nature of the planet by the way we are extracting stuff from the ground and creating a new atmosphere – we are changing the planet,” Rev. Harvey said. “We can’t continue to exploit the planet as we have been doing by the extraction of fossil fuels, and

to think that by doing that we have an abundant future, all we are doing is bringing the end of all things closer and closer.” And while he will continue to campaign for the country’s leaders to make changes at the top, for now, Rev. Harvey is doing his bit on a local level. “The Church of Wellington is actively looking at how we can get off the grid by looking at installing

comprehensive solar arrays to provide power for our buildings, and looking at our options as far as climate and cost-effective solutions to heating and cooling,” he said. “We are not about trying to change people’s lives, we are trying to keep people’s lives by being active in keeping the planet and the world in which we live a habitable place – which is good for everybody.”

Youth exchange program gives you things For any local students wanting to broaden their outlook on life and have the world's best experience at the same time, don't miss the information night for Rotary Youth Exchange which will be staged at Club Dubbo on Thursday, March 12, from 6 to 7.30pm. Teenagers who are in Years 9, 10 and 11 are encouraged to attend and you'll hear about the 12-month exchange programs and find out which countries you can go to. If selected, there are two compulsory camps to attend at Maitland's Tocal Ag College. Students who've been on a Rotary Exchange say there's literally nothing in the world like it. Here's a one-month snapshot of the life-adventure Aussie students can partake in, courtesy of former Dubbo exchange student Grace Gower who lived with host families in Italy for a year.

April. THE start of the month I officially moved in with my second host family. We celebrated with the whole family with a big Italian lunch. The first Sunday with my second family we went to a little island called Sant’Antioco and it was very beautiful. This month I have learnt all about the Sardegna and Italian Easter traditions. The Sardegna culture is very different to the typical Italian culture because it has such a large Spanish background. The week of Easter is called Settimana Santa (Holy Week). Throughout the week there are different processions at 8 o’clock at night and some in the mornings. The largest procession is on Good Friday and it represents Christ’s funeral. Everyone gathers the small streets or hangs out of their balconies. After the Good Friday procession is finished you visit three to five churches. In the processions you have “Babollotti” who are people dressed in white gowns and hoods.

On Easter Sunday morning there is a big celebration for the gathering between the statues Virgin Mary and Christ. Settimana Santa is one of

the biggest traditions in Sardegna and it is held in my town, Iglesias. Why? Because my town is the city of

churches – it has over 20 churches and the name of my town in Spanish is “Churches”. On Easter I was very spoilt by my whole family with multi-

Mark COULTON MP FEDERAL MEMBER FOR PARKES FEDE HEALTHCARE MILESTONES FOR WESTERN NSW We’re one step closer to providing patients in Dubbo and Western NSW with world-class cancer care. Demolition works have commenced to make way for the Western Cancer Centre to be built. The new Cancer Centre will provide patients with improved access to life-saving cancer diagnostic and treatment services much closer to home. It’s a very proud achievement for all involved; not least the more than 45,000 residents of Western NSW who signed a petition for the Cancer Centre to be built, which I presented to the Australian Parliament in 2016. A $25 million Federal Government investment, along with $10 million from the State Government, has enabled the Western Cancer Centre dream to become a reality. In other great news, the recent arrival of a Medicare-eligible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to Dubbo Hospital means MRI scans will soon be fully-subsidised for patients on-site. I’m thrilled that patients in Dubbo and the western region will beneﬁt from the Federal Government’s decision to invest in an MRI licence at the hospital, which I announced last year.

money cannot buy ple chocolate eggs and I spent the day with my host dad’s family and also went to the cinemas to see “Beauty and The Beast”. On Easter Monday I went to Portoscuso beach with a group of friends and we celebrated with a picnic on the beach then some games in the park. After Easter my town held the fair of books which my class participated in, it was nice to spend four days with my friends and learn new things. Due to Easter and the book fair I have not had much school, now I’m on holidays again and this time I don’t really understand why but I’m just rolling with it. On Tuesday my host family and I went on a trip to northern Sardegna then down to SouthEast Sardegna where we first visited a dinosaur museum in Bitti which was a bit of a disappointment but the town was beautiful.

After that we travelled down to a park called “Sardegna in Miniatura” and in the park there was a miniature Sardegna, Dinosaur Park, Space Museum and a bird farm. It was a great day and the park was really fun, then when we returned home we did some karaoke. My host dad told me to pick an English song so I picked my favourite Italian song and nailed it (well I thought so anyways). When I moved in with my second family I moved to a larger town which brought more opportunities. I’ve been with my friends more and joined a dance studio and I attend two classes of hip hop a week and have a performance at the end of the school year. In my spare time I go out with friends and explore the town, sometimes we treat ourselves to a gelato or crêpe. Last night I had my first Italian sleepover at my friend’s house in Portoscuso, we had pizza for dinner and her mum made me a deli-

cious lasagne for lunch. I have now been here for 100 days and it has gone so fast – I have grown so much as a person and have learnt so much. While my Italian is improving, my English is worse than it was. Not only myself but other exchange students have discovered that watching Peppa Pig in your host language with English subtitles is so very helpful. I love my Italian life with my wonderful family and friends and am excited for more to come. ••• INCOMING youth officer at the Rotary Club of South Dubbo, Steve Gower, said it really is the chance of a lifetime. “The networks the Rotary exchange program has created world-wide and the friendships which last for a lifetime are priceless,” Mr Gower said. “Grace always says that our place is home, but she said she’s also got a second home in Italy, and you can’t buy that.”

Have your say on plan to close nine community walkways in Dubbo DUBBO Regional Council is seeking community feedback on the proposed closure of nine walkways like this one pictured in East Dubbo linking Erica Close and St Georges Terrace. “Council is absolutely committed to closing down walkways or laneways when residents tell us they avoid using them for fear of their safety. They’re no more than a few metres wide but very long and all it does is give way for an anti-social element,” Dubbo Regional Council mayor Ben Shields said. Other lanes being considered for closure include those linking Lan-

caster Park Place to Carisbrook Park, Twickenham Drive to Chrisbrook Park, Gumtree Ave to Horizon Place, Horizon Place to Meadowbank Drive, Meadowbank Drive to Springfield Way, MacKay Drive to the public reserve behind Yawarra Community School, Meurer Court to the public reserve and Rivergum Place to a public reserve. Feedback will close on Friday, February 28, and can be mailed to The CEO, Dubbo Regional Council, PO Box 81, Dubbo NSW 2830. Alternatively, go to Council’s website or email to walkways@dubbo.nsw.gov.au.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

You’re the LLS voice The Editor, Over the past few months I’ve been struck by the strong and generous chorus of regional voices speaking of the value and importance of rural and regional communities. I’ve heard them before, but after years of drought, then fire and flood, their unity is an extraordinary testament to the connection of our communities. It makes me incredibly proud to be a part of this hum, in my own local community, and in my position as Chair with Local Land Services. Across the state, Local Land Services staff and board members have worked tirelessly to support and service communities for six years, and we’re now calling for new voices on our local boards. The Local Land Services Board plays an important part in keeping the agency local and relevant in each of the 11 regions around NSW. As a Local Land Services board member, you’ll have the opportunity to be a part of something important for your region. By sharing your passion, skills and knowledge, you’ll have a voice in the strategic direction, service delivery and advocacy of your region’s interests. We hope to hear from candidates with a commitment to high ethical standards and teamwork and who bring unique experiences and knowledge to the local boards. We also recognise that we need a diverse and dynamic board that reflects modern agriculture in NSW and we are encouraging applications from

women, Aboriginal people, younger farmers and other under-represented groups. Nominations close Friday, February 28, at noon. More information and a nomination pack can be found on the Local Land Services website, or you can contact your nearest office on 1300 795 299. Your voice is important, and we’d love to hear what you have to say. Richard Bull Chair, Local Land Services Board

Have your say in NSW Bushfire Inquiry The Editor I urge everyone who has been involved in any capacity during the recent bushfires to make a submission to the NSW Bushfire Inquiry. Your stories, concerns, and suggestions need to be heard. It is a shame the Taskforce will not be holding public hearings. I would have thought that to get a real sense of people’s feelings you would hold public forums in their communities and I urge the Taskforce to hold public forums. Submissions close on March 27, 2020, and can be delivered in person to any Service NSW centre. People really need to make a submission so that their views can be given the appropriate consideration. Mick Veitch MLC, Shadow Minister for Industry and Trade, Shadow Minister for Rural Roads, Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs and Show Minister for Western NSW.

June Dally-Watkins: model, icon and a boss Yvette AubussonFoley ❚ OPINION

THERE’LL be generations of Australians who won’t know who June Dally-Watkins was or how she impacted Australia. Since 2003, China too. In my mind she was a trail blazer with no end to her courage and unapologetic determination to succeed. She was all class and touched people in the simplest but lasting ways. As one of Australia’s first genuine female entrepreneurs she thoroughly deserves the moniker of “national treasure”. In 1995, I had the privilege of calling Miss Dally my boss. I joined the administration team of her empire to manage its media relations and promote her business school. It was however a particularly difficult time for Miss Dally and her manager daughter, Lisa Clifford, because the vacancy I was

to fill had been left by the tragic death of its previous holder, Sydney model Caroline Byrne. Caroline died after allegedly falling from a cliff known as the Gap, but in highly suspicious circumstances her boyfriend was accused of her murder. It was a very public, tragic affair for the heartbroken June and Lisa, and all the associates Caroline had made in the role. Miss Dally was ever kind and generous to staff during that time. She herself must have been distraught but her demeanour, as always, was consistently loving, caring and calm. This was part of her charm. Yes, she was always beautifully groomed, always graceful in her speech and behaviour, but she was in particular, present in every moment. It was not uncommon, even just passing in the hallway, for her to stop and take your hand while in conversation, to give, and get, 100 per cent attention. The first time she did that to me was awkward. I’d never had a boss do that before. Despite her fame and fortune, her famous friends, her rags to riches life that reads like a Hollywood script, she had

` Yes, she was always beautifully groomed, always graceful in her speech and behaviour, but she was in particular, present in every moment... a

a way of making you feel like you matter, not just in her organisation but as a human being. Looking back, it’s almost laughable to think I could add something to her world because she was so incredibly able, but she was a giver and a learner. Everyone did have something to offer her and in return she could show you how to be the best version of yourself, which sounds cliché but she knew how to

challenge you in ways you might not try on your own. She walked beside you in your self-discovery, always with kindness and care. Every one of her students at the business school mattered to her deeply. These were young people for whom university might not have been an option or were uncertain of what career path to take after school, but under her guid-

ance she instilled in them skills needed to work at the highest levels in the business world, to get a foot in that elusive door, and she polished them on their way out to their bright futures with top Sydney firms. June Dally-Watkins was always smiling, even if it was just with her eyes. She radiated an inner joy. It’s no wonder Hollywood adored her, and she was the darling of Australia as a model, then later as our etiquette icon. Since 2003, her influence extended to China where she was also teaching students how to mind their Ps and Qs. There is a lot of emphasis around those things when people talk about her, but she struck me as a self-made, super smart woman who may have started out banking on her looks, but long before there was a chance they’d fade, she was well on her way to exploring innovative business opportunities, and didn’t stop, even into her 90s! Australia lost a treasure when she died at the weekend aged 92, but her legacy will hopefully continue to inspire generations to come with the legions of believers who learnt the worth of her message. Vale June Dally-Watkins.

Contributed by DUBBO RIVERCARE CLEAN Up Australia Day is on again this Sunday, March 1. Like many individuals and groups right across our nation, Dubbo Rivercare members are encouraging everyone to register for the event at Ollie Robbins oval from 8.30am on Sunday. Rivercare members will use kayaks/canoes and invite community members to bring their kayaks, life jackets, and pick-up

sticks to collect rubbish on the river. The group will be supported by NSW DPI Fisheries staff and their boat to collect rubbish from kayaks. Dubbo Regional Council will be conducting its riverside Clean Up activity at the same time, attacking litter on the riverbank ovals, netball courts, parks and along the Tracker Riley Cycleway and walkway. Come along and give a couple of hours of your time for the best possible Clean Up of the river to

improve fish, turtle and platypus aquatic habitat and all your favourite places to walk and enjoy. Dubbo residents who treasure and frequent the river will be no stranger to the distressing array of shopping trolleys, discarded bikes, food, coffee and other plastic containers that should never be dumped in the river. Please help clean up and reverse the major impact waste has on our environment and our plants and animals. Let’s work together on Sunday – a day when all Australians are

afforded a personal opportunity to make a contribution to improve our environment at the local level. Registration for Dubbo Rivercare and Dubbo Regional Council Clean Up Australia Day activities will be open at Ollie Robbins oval at Lower Church Street this Sunday, March 1, at 8.30am. Council will host a barbecue for all volunteers after the event: a great opportunity to mingle and relax with like-minded people. Contact Ros Williams on 0409 818 469 for further details.

Thumbs Up and thank-you also to my sister who has been my rock, who took care of my personal items after the fall as well as my walker and returned it all to my unit. Thank you to Lyn the carer from the nursing service.

Thumbs Up to Janette from Target in the ladies’ fashion department. She is very conﬁdent and caring while taking my orders over the phone and always has them ready for when my friend picks them up.

Wellington Lions to host book fair By JOHN RYAN BOOK lovers from across the region are expected to converge on Wellington this Saturday, February 29, as Wellington Lions cash in on an influx of visitors for the Rotary Vintage Car Parade. Wellington Lions' president Chris Hardy said it's important that community organisations in small towns work in together to value add to events, as well as support each other at a time when many volunteer organisations are stretched – both in people power and resources. "I noticed The Rotary Vintage Fair Parade has been very successful in the past – last year it coincided with Lions Awareness Day and we paraded with our catering officer's old Holden ute and handed out leaflets advertising Lions," Mr Hardy told Dubbo Photo News. "This year I asked if we could use Keirle's building (The old Western

ter relief. And Wellington Arts (see separate story) will also be in the Western Stores building with numerous Pop Up Shops, all with the aim of supporting local people and artists and creating more interest for visitors.

Mr Hardy said the local lions have more than five trailer loads of books, with 10 trestles of fiction alphabetically sorted and five trestles of non-fiction categorised, as well as a couple of tables for children’s books. There'll also be tables of DVDs,

videos and CDs. "All going for only a gold coin each," Mr Hardy said. "Lions Disaster Relief goes towards all sorts of disasters – locally the drought and bush fires to internationally earthquakes and more. "We're expecting a busy weekend so our sister club of Kellyville Lions have several members coming to stay in Wellington to help us," he said. The Western Stores will be open both days for visitors to call into during the weekend (February 29 and March 1). He said the Vintage Fair at the Wellington Showground is always an amazing event with plenty to see and do for all ages. "Wellington Lions are always busy with their barbecue at the Vintage Fair so Kellyville Lions help will be greatly appreciated," Mr Hardy said.

Holden utes live on in Condo As Australia mourned the untimely demise of a national icon last week, when US-based General Motors announced it would soon stop making new Holdens, out at Condobolin the local council was reminding Holden-lovers that it will continue to pay tribute to the true blue Aussie Holden for a long time to come. Just out of town is a unique display of 18 original artwork sculptures created from classic Holden utes. PHOTO: LACHLAN SHIRE COUNCIL

Which came ﬁrst? Pictured below, this koala caught the eye of a Dubbo businessman during a visit to Coolangatta. Given that NSW has a trail of rhino sculptures from one Taronga zoo to the other (Dubbo to Sydney), we’re wondering if their koala sculpture idea came before or after our rhino idea. Or maybe it’s just a classic case of “great minds think alike”.

Chocolately love: This sign was spotted on the wall of a chocolatier store on the coast. Nice!

Lawn taming tips from Dubbo Mowers and Chainsaws If your dusty front yard has suddenly sprouted a jungle after deep soaking rains, Dubbo Mowers and Chainsaws owner David Brett has valuable tips on bringing your mower back to life and keeping your lawn in top shape until the next shower. “It is lovely to have all that rain after such a long period of time and for some people it’s been a couple of years since they’ve had lush growing grass,” Mr Brett said. There are right and wrong ways, however, to approach the first mow in these conditions. “When people are pulling out their mowers for the first time in a long time, they want to be sure the blades are sharp. Blunt blades will tear away at the grass which encourages disease and damage,” Mr Brett said. “Blades are cheap to replace, and if you’re doing your own maintenance disconnect the spark plugs first. You don’t want the mower starting while you’re working on it and I’d hate to think what might happen. “Next, check and clean the air filter. An oil change might be a valid thing to do especially if your mower’s been sitting around for a long time. The same can be said about fuel. A year or two of no use means the best thing to do if it won’t go is replace old fuel with fresh. “Old fuel can also gum up the carburettor and we have an experienced service department who are happy to look at it for you,” Mr Brett said. “If customers want to do the jobs themselves, we’re happy to give instruction and we also carry one of the largest selections of spare parts in Australia for all brands.” Once the mower makeover is done, there are several steps to consider be-

“We probably have one of the largest areas in Australia – for a lot of our brands and customers it’s a quarter of the state. We’re proud to do that and it’s a challenge. We try to look after everybody, from farming and domestic to commercial and councils. “Our products aren’t just in a box we give to customers either. When we sell a piece of equipment, we assemble it, fuel it and start it, so when someone gets it home, it goes. “We are the specialists in this industry, and we like to make sure our customers have a good experience from beginning to end.” In recent years, that product range has expanded into a battery-powered selection. “There’s been an explosion in battery-powered equipment. It’s becoming quite a large part of what we do, and we have a large range, so if someone doesn’t want to worry about a petrol engine, we can help.”

fore tackling the lawn and ensuring you don’t do more harm than good. “Ideally you only work with a third of your leaf area at any one time. Even for lawns around Dubbo that might be a foot tall already I recommend mowing it down in stages. “If you mow too much of your bulk or height in one go it can do more damage. One third only will actually help the lawn in the long run,” he said. “Scalping your lawn is something you really don’t want to do if you can get away with it. Also mowing in the wet isn’t a good idea. Wait until the lawn is dry before you start.” Ongoing water restrictions limit watering opportunities but there’s an easy way to keep your soil moist. “The mown lawn clippings can be used as mulch to help reduce water usage on the lawn. It saves the lawn from drying out quickly and it returns nutrients to the soil. Take off the catcher and let the cuttings be mulch. It’s better for the lawn.” David Brett has been owner of Dubbo Mowers and Chainsaws for 17 years but is the third custodian of a business which has served Dubbo and surrounding region for 72 years.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION STRANGE BUT TRUE z It was American political scientist, economist, psychologist and professor Herbert Simon who made the following sage observation: “What information consumes is rather obvious: It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” z Those who study such things claim that the act of licking a stamp burns one-tenth of a calorie. z The shortest song in the world is “You Suffer”, recorded in 1986 by the British band Napalm Death. It lasts precisely 1.316 seconds. z Stanley Mason was an inventor who really got around, in a manner

of speaking. In addition to coming with the idea for the granola bar, he also created the squeezable ketchup bottle, the disposable diaper, heated pizza boxes and the dental floss dispenser. z There are more Polish people living in Chicago than in any city on Earth except for Warsaw, Poland’s capital. z You might be surprised to learn that the most dangerous profession in the United States – in terms of the percentage of people holding that profession who have been killed – isn’t firefighter or police officer, it’s president of the United States. A total of 9 per cent of presidents have been assassinated. z Renee Zellweger was born the same year that Judy Garland died: 1969. Zellweger played Garland in the movie “Judy”, which debuted 50 years after her death, in 2019,

the same year that Zellweger turned 50. z In the US Commonwealth of Virginia, a statute contained within what’s known as the “Code of 1930” prohibits bribery or corruption by anyone other than a political candidate.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z Lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup. Never pack it down or tap the cup to level. Simply fill and then use the flat edge of a knife to remove the excess back to the original container. It’s best to weigh dry goods if possible, for the most consistent results. z “Here’s a delicious recipe that’s also beautiful: Homemade sugar scrub! Mix a cup of sugar with a tablespoon of salt and quarter of a cup of olive oil. Use in the bath

to scrub away rough patches and leave your skin smooth and hydrated. You can add a drop of perfume or essential oil for scent.” – R.K. z “It feels like we have less and less time with our doctors, and mine feels that way, too. Before I head to my appointment, I make a list of my top three discussion items and copy it out again for the doctor. When he walks in, I hand him the list so we stay on topic.” – C.E. z Use clean tin cans to make and decorate tiny cakes. They can be used just like a regular cake pan, just grease and dust with ﬂour. Be sure to use only cans that are not lined with anything, because some cans are lined with BPA plastic! z “I have heard the tip to spray a thread end with hairspray to keep it stiff for threading, but I didn’t have any hairspray. I used a touch of hair gel, and it worked too.” – T.

CYCLING

Dubbo athletes claim Cyclist of the Year Awards By GEOFF MANN NOT to be outdone by club mates Haylee Fuller and Simone Grounds, male cyclists Danny Barber and Kurt Eather have been named NSW U17 and 19 Cyclists of the Year during the State Track Championships over the weekend. These awards were based on 2019 results but as if to show that their form was not a flash in the pan, the young champions added more glittering medals to their burgeoning tallies. Danny took the U19 men’s sprint on Friday as well as the Keirin State Title and stacked up his haul with silver in the Points Race. Kurt won the Points Score for Elite riders, a whopping 22 points clear of the field in a display of dominance and strength. Haylee Fuller chipped in with a gold medal in the Points Race with a brilliant performance taking a solo lap on the field and backed up to capture U19 NSW Women’s 2km Pursuit. Dylan Eather is the U19 Points champion and took bronze in the Pursuit. Central Coast rider Lincoln Hey, who splits his time living and training alongside the Eather boys under

their coach/father Vaughn here in Dubbo, took silver behind Dylan in the Keirin as well as Bronze in the U19 men Points. Kurt and Emily Williams (Elite) and Haylee (U19s) all finished in the top five in the Kieren events. Dubbo CC President Matt Gilbert was a happy man on Sunday night. “Amazing results for all our riders, especially in the Kieren races. These are tough events!” Matt congratulated all the riders, coaches Vaughn Eather and Garry Dawson, friends and families who transported and acted as back-up crews for the team and wished our 13s and 15s every success in this weekend’s NSW Championships.

THE local Aussie Rules teams are itching to get back on the full sized field with 19-a-side and some frost and snow on the fields as they travel to Bathurst, Orange, Cowra and Parkes for the new season. The Demons have been feasting out on a Nines format – when heat and dust didn’t disrupt their fun

– but are now focusing on the calendar ahead. The women, in particular, are licking their lips after winning the comp in 2018 before sitting out last season due to a lack of numbers. Training is now in full swing each Tuesday and Thursday at South Dubbo Oval.

CRICKET

Cougars pounce in One Day ﬁnal By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL CYMS have claimed their first top grade title in over a decade with a resounding win over Macquarie. Lachie Strachan played a match-winning hand to set up the Cougars victory with just over half his knock of 78 coming in boundaries. Strachan was backed up by skipper Ben Knaggs (30) and double figure contributions from Brock Larance, Nick Guthrie and Gilbert Chaseling.

CYMS’ 187 was 77 too many for the night cricket premiers who went into the final without mega-run gatherers Dan Medway (work), Jason Green (injured) and Ben Strachan (suspended). Lachie Strachan capped off a great match taking 3/19 while Brock Larance and young Paddy Nelson both bagged doubles. Macquarie leads the Whitney Cup, two points clear of CYMS who are both eyeing off the in-form RSL Colts.

SWIMMING

ABC’s Darling River Duck lands on home pond By GEOFF MANN GERRY Collins began his teaching career in Byrock and swam in the Darling at Bourke before taking his place on the staff at the “old” St John’s in George St. He lived just around the corner from a school that was home to the “Wingewarriers”, a motley crew of chalkies who frequented the Rugby lub and RSL. It was in the old 33m outdoor pool that Gerry first met the Ducks and he’s held his “webbed feet” dear to his heart throughout the past 30 years as he travelled the world as part of the ABC Sports Commentary team. Gerry lobbed in to Dubbo with his togs on Sunday morning on his way home from a funeral in Coonamble. The old “quackers” were egg-static!

DRAGON BOATING

Liam is the latest Scolari ﬂyer

Dragons Come and Try Day

PETER Scolari was a fast finisher with Dubbo Kangaroos in the ’90s. His dad Laurie scored a try against the touring France Rugby League team in 1957 and now son Liam has made it onto the wing for Wests Tigers! “Leapy received the call up from coach Michael Maguire ahead of the Tigers’ clash with Penrith. He was a bit stunned, I think,” Peter said. Liam played junior league with South Dubbo and St Pius before relocating to Sydney in high school. “He had a great grounding in rugby at Joeys and played GPS rep and in the First 15 that won perhaps the most miraculous title when he was in Year 12. We thought he’d stay with the 15-a-side code but Wests Tigers offered him a pathway and he is loving it,” Pete added. Unfortunately, Leapy spent most of the night chasing down Penrith Panthers who won the trial easily. “At least Leapy could recognise most of the Penrith boys. He played against Matt Burton in Dubbo throughout school and junior league. He felt right at home with other locals like Brent Naden (Wellington), Billy Burns (Parkes) and other Dubbo products Isaah Yeo and Kayde Ellis in the black jerseys opposite,” Pete laughed.

Coonamble Gold Cup history underscores Country Qualifier

By GEOFF MANN WEST Dubbo bowlers have come together twice in the last week to farewell mates who helped create history for the club. One of the most respected was Ted Cassidy who passed away just after he turned 80 on January 17. “Ted came to West Dubbo around the turn of the century after playing at Dubbo Railway from the late ‘70s. He was an exemplary member who served as Convenor on the Zone 4 junior committee from 20052009,” Club Dubbo bowls manager Anthony Brown told me. “Ted represented the Far Western District and Zone 4 in the 1980s until 2010. He won numerous titles at Club Dubbo including Major Pairs in 2006 and 2008 with his good mate, the late Keith Beacroft, Major Fours in 2006 and 2013, and Mixed Pairs with wife Judy in a golden year, 2013.” Anthony went on to list Ted’s Zone 4 titles:  Triples – 1976  Fours – 1982, 1989, 2009  Pairs – 1986

My dad was driving the ambulance, my uncle was on the gate and several second cousins were on the backs of Cup horses or had ridden track work in the lead up. Tony Campbell was calling the races! It was the hobby for one of Coonamble’s finest citizens who had his own dance band and served behind the counter at the local newsagency. Johnny Lundholm (Coonamble) and Albert Hazlett (Walgett) were leading trainers,

Johnny Nestor and Ron Quniton well known hoops, and the mail and passenger train ran daily.

DUBBO Swimtech Club was represented by seven swimmers at the NSW Country Championships at the Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on February 21-23.  Traevion Forrester took 4.37 seconds off his 200m Individual medley (IM). 2m:50s is a fantastic result and personal improvement.  Brody Steele – Gold medal, 11 years 100m backstroke; silver medal, 11 years male 50m backstroke and a 2.63 second improvement in his 200m to finish sixth in this tough event. Brody produced six personal bests from seven swims, five of which placed him in the top 10 for his age group.  Bianca Fuller: competed in freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke, as well as the individual medley in her U14s age group. This is a true reflection of the incredible fitness and commitment to the sport of swimming. She finished with one silver (200 breast), and one bronze (200m IM), as well as one 4th (100m back) two fifths and a sixth – nine swims over three days and she finished in the top 10

every event!  Maia Wake – seven swims in the 13 years free, back, breast, butterfly and IM; six PBs. Maia ended closer to the magical one minute in the 100m free, shaving her time to 1.02.98. In the 100m breast and 200 IM, Maia took over 4.5 secs off her previous best.  Joely Bruce (12 years) – silver in 100 and fourth in 200m breaststroke events, dropping 2.05 seconds. Six swims; five PBs.  Sophie McAneney (10 years) – Gold medals in 50m and 100m breaststroke; smashing over 5s in the latter! Sophie was a very close fourth in the 50m freestyle and in a similar position in 100m backstroke. Five swims; four PBs.  Matilda Medlin, a strong junior butterflier swam in the 11 years, Tilly finished with a PB of 36.23 in the 50m “Congratulations swimmers, parents and coaches. Wonderful results that take a lot of time, effort and commitment to achieve,” coach Catherine Osborne said.

The passenger trains stopped decades ago but in a hark back to those days, the Coonamble Jockey Club is running The Tin Hare from Dubbo on Saturday, March 15. It’s a chance to frock up and pull on the racing colours, pack a hamper and enjoy a two to three hour trip with magnificent country reviving under recent rains. For more details check out the Coonamble Jockey Club website or Facebook page.

Ella was invited to join the elite players after Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders wrote to the NSW Ladies Golf Association. Her friends at Dubbo College have all wished her good luck.

EQUESTRIANS from across the west were put through their paces by Matt Ryan last weekend. The triple Olympic gold medallist worked his magic with a number of Dubbo Eventing and Showjumping Association members and riders from Cobar, Coonabarabran, Orange, Bathurst and Lithgow. “Matt comes home to Australia from Europe each year and always heads out west to share his skills and knowledge,” former Olympic Training Squad member Dale Frew said. “His parents were living in Coonabarabran when he won at Atlanta in 1996 and he used to do some cross country and three day eventing practises at Brocklehurst. “We were very lucky to have a triple Olympic gold medallist provide us with instruction this weekend. All the riders improved over the two days and went home feeling inspired by Matt’s stories of Olympic glory,” Dale added.
