In 2020, more than ever...

LEST WE FORGET By JOHN RYAN EVERY year we honour the sacrifices made by those who’ve served our nation. This year, right around Australia, we’re seeing all those former and current servicemen and women making another sacrifice – not being able to attend ANZAC Day ceremonies, a day which for most of them, is above all others. Dubbo Photo News assembled a group of veterans last weekend for a socially-distanced photo shoot at the Cenotaph, and this edition of the newspaper is packed full of stories honouring our diggers. We’ve done this because we know people in Dubbo, Wellington, Narromine, Gilgandra and all the western towns deeply value the sacrifices so many have made on our behalf. And we wanted the diggers to know that. We want anyone who’s ever served in Australia’s armed forces to pick up this edition of Dubbo Photo News and think, “Well, we can’t attend a physical commemorative service, but what a great comfort it is to see glimpses of our story told through the eyes of so many locals who’ve done their part.” We want locals who haven’t served to be so inspired by these stories that they walk to their letterboxes just before dawn on April 25, and spend a few minutes thinking about those lonely hours before dawn, in far off battlefields, where frightened men and women hungered for letters from home to remind them of what they were fighting for. We want people to really think about the words “Lest we Forget” rather than just letting them slip off their tongues, and imagine themselves in the boots of so many who never returned to our shores. We want this to be the most solemn and real ANZAC Day Dubbo’s ever experienced. The challenge to truly think about what the ANZAC spirit really means is greater in 2020 than it has been in the past 100 or so years since the legend was born on the shores of Gallipoli. Now is the time to rise to the occasion while the COVID-19 pandemic threatens the very freedoms our veterans have fought for. Dubbo has not forgotten those sacrifices. Lest we Forget. (Dubbo Photo News would like to thank Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch president Tom Gray and the other veterans for all the assistance they gave us in putting this edition of the newspaper together.)

Crisis anxiety causes drinking spike By LYDIA PEDRANA MANY Australian’s are turning to the bottle to cope with the anxiety of the coronavirus crisis. Seventy per cent of Aussies are drinking more alcohol than normal, while a third are drinking alcohol every day, according to a recent YouGov poll. Furthermore, psychologists have also noticed more patients turning to tobacco use, online gambling, cannabis and prescription drug abuse in the past month. Ailsa Graham, a local psychologist at Macquarie Health Collective, said the findings came as no shock. “Many Australians are feeling anxious, negative, stressed and unsure about the future since their lives have been turned upside down,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

Because alcohol is a depresMs Graham said while alcohol sant, Ms Graham explained that

regular intake may lead to depression and anxiety, poor memory and brain damage, fluctuations in mood and poor sleep. In the long term, alcohol use may also result in physical problems such as fertility issues, liver disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, and cancer. According to the federal health department website, risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury for healthy men and women means drinking no more than 10 standard drinks per week and no more than four standard drinks on any one day. It is also suggested to have two alcohol free days per week to give vital organs a chance to detox. A clinician with extensive experience in drug and alcohol cases, Ms Graham advises strict routines may help individuals lower alcohol consumption – she suggests using this isolation period as a chance to better yourself. “Make a daily and weekly routine to structure your life which will help to establish a sense of normalcy, reduce the risk of boredom and keep attention focused on something,” she said. “Why not turn COVID-19 into an opportunity to improve your health and wellbeing, enhance and enrich your life? Why not sign up for Dry July and raise money for your favourite charity?”

EXAMPLE OF BASIC DAILY & WEEKLY ROUTINES’ Daily Routine z Basic – make the bed, take a shower/bath and get dressed for the day; z Nutrition – eat regular healthy meals and avoid snacking; z Hydration – drink plenty of water; z Sleep – go to sleep and wake up at regular times and stick to set sleep routine ; z Sunshine – get outside in your garden or neighbourhood for some exercise as sun can also help your mood and sleep; Weekly Routine z Social connection – incorporate contact with friends or family on a regular basis, using phone or video calls when isolation requires it; z Health – liaise with health services and organise regular appointments to maintain physical and mental health needs; z Meal planning – write up your meal plan for the week and keep on track with nutrition, advance planning will reduce the number of times you will need to go out to shop; z Fun – get back into an old hobby or pick up a new one you can do from home, watch movies you have always meant to watch, catch up on shows you missed, pick up a book you never ﬁnished, get a new eBook online or download an audio book from your local library, play online games, play board games and card games.

ANZAC DAY 2020

DEATH MARCH VICTIM WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

By JOHN RYAN Bernadette Donoghue is determined to do her part this ANZAC Day to make sure those who died in the service of Australia are remembered. Her tribute to her uncle, on a day when public ceremonies won’t be held, will take place on her front porch. She’s made a shrine to corporal Ron Sullivan and will be placing it at the front of her Tamworth Street home and will offer one of her hand knitted poppies to people who pass by. Bernadette will also be lighting a candle and playing the bugle via her phone. “I have made an ANZAC display to honour the men and women who fought for our country,” Mrs Donoghue

told Dubbo Photo News. “Our war hero was our uncle Ron who was killed at Sandakan, he was threeand-a-half years a prisoner and was killed just as the war was ending. “He was a farm boy from Purlewaugh, near Coonabarabran,” she said. Cpl Ron Sullivan, 1 Company Australian Army Service Corps, was part of the worst atrocity committed against Aussie troops. Australian prisoners were sent to Sandakan in 1942 to build an airstrip and at ﬁrst they were treated reasonably well before rations were gradually reduced and bashings increased. By late 1944 Allied forces were advancing toward Borneo and the Japanese

decided to send about 2,000 Australian and British prisoners westward to Ranau, in Borneo’s rugged interior. Weak and sick prisoners staggered for about 260 kilometres along jungle tracks, many died on the way and their bodies never recovered. Those unable to continue were killed; those too weak to march had been left behind in Sandakan, where all died or were killed. Only six – all Australians – out of about a thousand sent to Ranau survived the war. Lest we Forget. Bernadette Donoghue said her family will never forget her hero uncle who died on the infamous Sandakan Death March. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

Key revenue swept from regional papers By LYDIA PEDRANA A STATE GOVERNMENT decision to remove the requirement for Councils to advertise notices in newspapers, instead allowing them to just be published on Council websites, has been slammed by country media authorities and the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party. NSW Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock claimed in her announcement that the move is designed to take financial pressure off Councils amid the coronavirus pandemic, but leaves the future of many independent, regional newspaper organisations, who rely on such revenue streams, in danger. The move is also at odds with a Federal Government announcement of a $50 million package to support regional media which came a day after Australian Community Media (ACM) suspended the publishing of dozens of its non-daily regional mastheads last week. For full disclosure, Dubbo Photo News does not currently receive revenue from, or publish, Council

regulatory notices. Dubbo Regional Council and other councils in Western NSW utilise Dubbo Photo News as part of their marketing budgets, which is separate to the regulatory advertising which Councils have to place by law. President of Country Press NSW Incorporated and managing director of Gilgandra Weekly, Lucy Peart, says the move has sparked fears about transparency and access. “I feel like it’s opening the door to Council advertising not returning to normal (after the COVD-19 crisis is over) and we are moving into this grey area where these regulatory notices are possibly going to be harder for the community to access,” Mrs Peart told Dubbo Photo News. “There’s also concerns about a lack of access for people who are vulnerable in the community or don’t have ready access technology, they won’t be able to access something that is important. (This change to the legislation) is not talking about social advertising about events, these are things that require regulatory approval or that people might need to make

submissions to, and the access and the lack of transparency around those activities is concerning.” Mrs Peart also highlighted the heavy reliance some outlets have on Council advertising. “At the moment, the only advertisers that some papers have left are the local council, or the Federal Government’s COVID-19 campaign – and that’s it,” she said. “And lots of Councils have really good working relationships with their newspapers. It’s a sort ongoing symbiosis of us holding them to account, or helping them promote and spread the word. Local Councils at the moment are one

of the only organisations that are still doing things in the community that you can report on because everything else has been shut down or cancelled.” The Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party has also criticised the State Government’s move, labelling it as the ‘final nail in the coffin for regional media’. “This was an astonishing decision to kick regional journalism while it’s on its knees,” leader of the SFF party, Robert Borsak, said. “As businesses have closed down due to COVID-19 restrictions, they’ve stopped advertising. “As a result, many (country newspapers) have stopped printing across regional NSW, both independent and mainstream, because they are unable to cope with the reduced advertising revenue. “So, what does the NSW Government do? They cut back their last reliable source of advertising revenue.” Dubbo Photo News put such concerns to Member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders, who played down the impacts of the amendment and said this is not a ban on newspaper advertis-

ing, insisting it was a temporary strategy to help Councils during the pandemic only. “I have spoken to the Minister’s office and it is important to note that the amendments to the regulations are merely designed to assist councils reduce costs during the COVID-19 pandemic and they are not designed to be ongoing,” he said. “Councils now have the option to advertise their public notices in newspapers or publish them on their own websites, and that is a decision that each council across the state can make based on their own individual circumstances.” Mr Saunders said the option for Councils to publish their notices online was designed for such towns as Narromine who lost their weekly paper due to the ACM shutdowns last week. “Their (Narromine) council now has the option to publish the notices online,” he said. “That is a different situation to Dubbo Regional Council, who doesn’t have a paper being produced for Wellington, but has papers still being published for Dubbo,” Mr Saunders said.

Mum and daughter’s Hair for Heart

Where in Australia is shown in this satellite image? Clue: Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve and ‘South Breakwall’ are in this photo; a coastal city roughly northeast of Dubbo.

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY SOME mums will do anything for their daughters and Sue Holmes is one of them. When daughter Natalie Lewis planned to donate 20 centimetres of her hair and raise $1000 for the Variety Children’s Charity Hair for Heart program, Sue cheered her on all the way. When it came to the day to actually ‘chop for charity’ Mrs Holmes went that extra mile and offered up 20 centimetres of her hair too in support. With lovely long locks down to her bottom, she had plenty to spare! “I used to have it down past my knees,” she said. Walking away from Fine Lines salon Dubbo, on Saturday, April 18, she sported shoulder length hair and a memory to cherish forever. “When you’ve only got one daughter what else is there to do and it’s for such a good cause,” Mrs Holmes said. The Hair for Heart program stands by kids who have lost their hair due to a medical condition, through grants for wigs, funding the Variety Alopecia Areata Adventure Camp and providing therapy grants. “Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting one to two years,

meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a child’s youth,” Mrs Lewis said. Having only about 20 centimetres of hair length to spare herself, Mrs Lewis left the salon with very short hair which her fouryear-old son, James, assures her, makes her “look funny”. “I just think how hard it would

be for young people and children to have no hair, and I’m really grateful to everyone who has supported the cause through donations or encouragement, and Jen Hunt and Katie Frost at Fine Lines for agreeing to help,” she said. Originally, the “chop” was going to be a much bigger thank-you party but COVID-19 restrictions

meant only five people could be in the salon at any one time. Mrs Lewis is still welcoming donations via her Variety Children’s Charity fundraising site, which directs funds directly to the Hair for Heart program. At the time of Dubbo Photo News going to print she had passed her goal of $1000 and was heading to a donation of $1200.

COVID-19 HEALTH

Clock is ticking to get rural hospitals fully equipped RURAL medical organisations are warning that hospitals, particularly the smaller rural ones, need to gear up now to prepare for COVID-19 emergencies. The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) and the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) have said that good preparation will save lives. Encouraging progress has been made, but there remain many gaps in the preparations for some hospitals, according to RDAA president Dr John Hall. “There has been a really impressive amount of training going on, with

many rural doctors and hospital staff participating in simulation activities right across Australia,” Dr Hall said. “It is essential that all State health departments support their rural hospitals with the appropriate supplies of personal Protective Equipment (PPE), critical care drugs, equipment and simulation training. “If hospitals are left under-supported or under-prepared for a COVID-19 patient, they quickly become a ticking time bomb, putting staff, patients and the community at risk of the fallout – for

any small rural hospital which has not yet participated in simulation activities, or placed orders for the appropriate supplies, that clock is ticking,” he said. Dr Hall says there needs to be sufficient stock of PPE on hand before the first case presents and he emphasises that means more than simply having the proper masks on hand. “If you admit a patient that needs intubation or resuscitation, clinical guidelines state the doctor must wear a face shield. This is a key item of PPE and we are hearing reports that supplies are

running short,” he said. “Many rural hospitals have aged care residents onsite and there must be strategies in place to minimise the risks. This may include changes to rostering to minimise the crossover of staff between the services, continued education and review on staff wearing PPE, as well as fit-testing for masks. “We are hearing that due to low stocks, fit-tests aren’t happening, however it is a critical element of ensuring that the mask is being worn correctly.” ACRRM president Dr Ewen McPhee said that current training of staff

Burrendong up to 16.3pc capacity BURRENDONG DAM was at 16.3 per cent capacity and rising this week – the last time it was that full was in December 2018. The rising levels are a result of naturally occurring inflows generated by local rain in recent weeks, rather than transfers, according to a Water NSW. “While previous inflows had been largely from the Cudgegong River, this most recent inflow surge has also arrived via the Macquarie River upstream of the dam,” the spokesperson said.

was essential to being able to provide quality care. “It is also essential that small rural hospitals have equitable access to critical care medications and equipment,” Dr McPhee said. “Some states and districts are doing really well in regards to their ordering, preparation and simulation activities, but in other areas the preparedness of small hospitals has been very concerning. “The problems in North West Tasmania serve as a strong reminder that, if you are not prepared, how quickly you can lose control of the situation.”

AS at Dubbo Photo News’ deadline yesterday, there had been just one additional confirmed case of COVID-19 over the past week in the Western NSW Local Health District. The newest case was in the Orange City Council area. The total number of cases across the whole Health District was 45, up from 44 the week prior. All but five of the confirmed cases in the Health District had recovered. Orange City has had the highest number of coronavirus cases with 10, followed by Bathurst with nine, Dubbo Regional and Mid-Western Region both with six confirmed cases, and the Cabonne Shire with five. Meanwhile, the Blayney Shire has had three cases and the Coonamble Shire, Narromine Shire, Warren Shire, Warrumbungle Shire and Weddin Shire have all had one. The advice from local health authorities is to continue practicing social distancing measures and self-isolate at home unless it’s absolutely necessary.

DUBBO students will follow the same blueprint as their city counterparts when it comes to returning to school next month. On Tuesday, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced students will progressively return to campus on a staggered basis from May 11. “Initially it will just be a day a week, then progressively two days, and then we hope by the end of term two we’ll be in a position to have students going back to school in a fulltime capacity by term three,” Ms Berejiklian said. Term three begins on July 20. After Dubbo Photo News

revealed last week that Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders was in talks with the Deputy Premier about relaxing restrictions in the region earlier than larger metro areas, we asked Mr Saunders whether local schools might return to normal sooner too. Mr Saunders praised his electorate’s vigilance in preventing a major outbreak in the area but explained the return to school plan outlined by the Premier and Education Minister would be applied state-wide. “There are no plans to see schools in the Dubbo electorate return to full-time schooling earlier than anywhere else in the state,” Mr Saunders said.

Changes to traffic conditions at four bridges

Let’s not forget Church service to go online By JOHN RYAN AN ANZAC Day church service will be accessible to everyone with an internet connection, and St Brigid’s Parish priest Fr Greg Kennedy said maintaining the tradition of interdenominational remembrance is vital during the current crisis which prevents people gathering together for commemorations. “We’re having an ANZAC Day morning service at 8.30 here in St Brigid’s, that’s our normal time. After that, in a normal year, our congregation – particularly the school children – would join the march, but we can’t do that this year so we think it’s even more important that we have something to keep that tradition and have as much of the service as we can,” Fr Kennedy told Dubbo Photo News. “The Ode, the Last Post, those things that we would normally do down in the park, we’re going to try and do here.” The service will be livestreamed and he says it’s a fairly simple thing, just type in stbrigidsdubbo.com to access the streaming video. “It’s THE day, I think, in Australia. It’s a day when we just recall our identity. Fr Kennedy believes, at a time when we’re all coping with the

coronavirus crisis, it’s incredibly important for people to be able to find some sort of comfort and hope. “ANZAC Day is the day of hope,” he said, remarking that so many veterans who carry emotional and mental scars need support in a year where that fellowship of ANZAC at physical gatherings has been torn away. He’s hoping the streamed church service will provide some solace for people who in many cases will feel a sense of great loss. “We’re hoping that we can do a little bit to ease that – in such a constrained time, to have something local, I think is really important.” The reaction so far has been positive. “Everyone we’ve talked to so far is very happy that we’re doing this, to help keep the tradition alive, that there’s some sort of normality and that we’re doing whatever we can for our local community,” he said. “Even when we normally have the ANZAC Day mass a lot of the RSL members who are not Catholic are here; the Scouts, the Guides always participate in that mass. It’s all about healing and remembrance, and everyone’s welcome. “A lot of the ritual will be

Lane closures and a reduced speed of 40 km/h will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists. Motorists should allow extra travel time and follow traffic control and signs, including reduced speed limits.

much as we normally do things down at the Cenotaph in the park – a reading, a small talk and certainly the Ode, the Last Post, the laying of a wreath... those symbolic things that we can’t do together, we can do at least online – Lest we Forget.”

Art imitating life for ANZAC Day BY YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY IF not for COVID-19, locals Kerry Palmer and husband Jack Randell would be in New York right now, looking forward to an ANZAC Day dawn service in Manhattan, with Australian expats including their son Arthur, who works there for Vice Media. Instead, Kerry’s been lying awake at night sad for the lost opportunity, worrying about the safety of her family as well as grieving for not being able to participate in an ANZAC Day ceremony, even at home. “I’ve been going to ANZAC Days since I was a kid growing up in Sydney. We went to the dawn service every year at Martin Place,” she said. “Both my grandfathers were veterans and grandmothers war widows. Mum and Dad (Lyn and Brian Palmer) renovated the Geurie Memorial Hall, where the ANZAC Day services are amazing. They always have bagpipes, the Light Horse, descendants, hundreds of people. “The ABC came up in a helicopter one year. Mum would dress mannequins in uniforms and people would loan memorabilia to display in the hall,” Mrs Palmer said. Restrictions this year will

be hard on many, but Kerry has come up with an idea she hopes could unite the community. “It’s been troubling me that we’re not being able to connect for ANZAC Day. It’s a celebration of our freedom and celebration of the lives of all those people in all those wars,” she said. Taking inspiration from places she and Jack would have been visiting in New York, like the Guggenheim Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art which are running online programs to help people stay connected through art, Kerry has imagined the Dubbo region where gates and gardens are decorated with home-made poppies. “I’ve used paper plates, found some old paint pots to use, but you could use anything red in your home, a T-shirt, paper. I’ve mounted mine on garden spikes. I’m not encouraging anyone to go out and buy things, just use what you have at home,” she said. “I’m also calling it #popart because its art for the masses. It’s interesting that poppies are symbols of remembrance worldwide.” For ideas about #poppiesfromhome#popart, visit Art Club Dub Facebook page.

Couple postpones dream wedding By NATALIE LEWIS WHEN you’ve been dreaming of your wedding day all your life, it’s a tough pill to swallow when government restrictions result in its postponement. But that’s just what happened to Robyn Herron and Chris Anemaat whose upcoming nuptials have been hampered by restrictions on public gatherings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. “A wedding is something I have been dreaming of since I was a little girl,” Miss Herron said, explaining that they’d already booked many aspects of their big day including the venue, celebrant and photographer. They got engaged in August last year, and their nuptials were planned for June 13. “Initially we thought we would postpone the celebration. We thought we might still get married just with family there and have the celebration next year,” Miss Herron said. By the time social isolation restrictions pushed wedding numbers down to five, the couple had decided to postpone their entire ceremony for a year. They now intend to tie the knot in 2021. “We saw the writing on the wall and made the calls before everything happened. We felt like we were making the call ourselves rather than being forced,” Miss Herron said. “We felt like we weren’t forced into anything. “We thought we are going to have to do this without our grandparents, aunties and uncles. First it was that sacrifice, then it was to choose a friend – I couldn’t decide who I would have. Doing this, it made the decision easier. “I also didn’t want to be that bride who has to ring the people and say you need to get tested (for COVID-19). “It was the continued feeling of compromise that forced our hand,” Mr Anemaat said. “It’s supposed to be a time of celebration and ostentation and letting your hair down. But if we wanted the whole family there, it wasn’t possible.” While the pair are sad about their own circumstances, they also really feel for others who are struggling through these uncertain times. “There’s a mix of guilt and processing the grief when you think of what you invested in that day,” Mr Anemaat said. “When I see so much pain and suffering everywhere, even in our own community, I feel guilty that we feel sad.” Miss Herron said the grief and guilt has been difficult. “We are very disappointed. It’s a bit devastating. “It’s okay to grieve for our wedding day but we feel guilty. “For us, the biggest thing this year was the wedding but there are people having funerals.”

Mr Anemaat pointed out that what the future holds is still a major uncertainty for them. “It’s still a worry and concern. The wedding was the biggest thing and how these restrictions will impact on that is anyone’s guess. Social distancing may continue until 2022 if a vaccine takes 18 months to develop. It may be ephemeral but it’s such an unknown. Each day, things change so rapidly.” For now, Miss Herron said they are still planning a wedding. And looking on the bright side, she said everything they had already booked can be locked in at a later date. They also have more time to perfect their planned wedding dance. “Who knows what’s in store,” she said. “What we are planning might not be what we get. “We are just trying to focus on our relationship. It was so close to happening but we are not the only ones going through it. We are not alone in this. “Not knowing is what’s devastating for us. We’re trying to put a healthy spin on it, focusing on the marriage ahead. A wedding day doesn’t define a relationship. Going through this is a test for us as a couple but it is proof that we can deal with blows. “What we are going through might be unique to us but it’s nothing in the world. We are lucky we have these avenues.” Photos of the couple were taken by Nicole Drew Photography to celebrate their engagement.

IN BRIEF

Dubbo youth invited to ‘have your say’ MISSION AUSTRALIA’S 19th annual Youth Survey 2020 is now open, and young people aged 15 to 19 in Dubbo are being encouraged to have their say. “Now more than ever, we want to hear from young people in Dubbo about the issues that affect them in 2020,” Mission Australia’s State Director Nada Nasser said.

Last year, mental health, the environment and equity and discrimination were the most important issues raised by NSW respondents. Only one in 15 felt they have a voice all of the time in public affairs. For further information, visit www.missionaustralia.com.au/ youthsurvey.

Social distancing from family

By NATALIE LEWIS WHEN seeing your loved ones is impossible, the best you can do is look forward to the day when you can hug them once again. That is the case for Dubbo couple Michael and Michelle Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary who have had to isolate from their four grandchildren Hudson (4), Mackenzie (2), Emily (3) and Declan (1) for the time being. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely something which none of us have ever experienced before. We used to see them at least every weekend,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 40 acres so they loved coming out to our place to run around. There were some days where they were all there. They loved to feed the cattle and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a sandpit for them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also built a big swing.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than a month

since the families began leading separate lives with having restricted access due to the spread of COVID-19. Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary misses his grandkids like crazy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were away and had to come home,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been on the coast at Nelson Bay, they had to self-isolate for a while.â&#x20AC;? Easter was particularly tough for the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learys without seeing their extended family. But they completely understand why it has to be this way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife dropped their eggs off at the front door,â&#x20AC;? he said. The worst thing would be if you give it (COVID-19) to your grandkids or they give it to you.â&#x20AC;? Mr and Mrs Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary now only see their grandchildren using screen applications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only see each other on the phone now (using video chat),â&#x20AC;? he

Once the restrictions are lifted, Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary is looking forward to getting back to doing what grandparents do best: spoiling their grandkids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be lots of hugs and kisses.

Growing up in Elong Elong, Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said it was much different during his childhood, before the introduction of tech devices like smart phones and tablets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to make our own fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is so different for the younger generation.â&#x20AC;?

Ten walkways to close in bid to curb anti-social behaviour TEN public walkways around the city are set to be closed in an attempt to decrease acts of crime and anti-social behaviour, the decision coming after public consultation by Dubbo Regional Council showed a vast majority of people being in favour of the closures. Seven laneways in West Dubbo: Gumtree Avenue to Horizon Place; Horizon Place to Meadowbank Drive; Meadowbank Drive to Springfield Way; MacKay Drive to a public reserve; Meurer Court to a public reserve; Rivergum Place to a public reserve and Clews Street to a public reserve are scheduled to be shut. Three walkways in East Dubbo: Lancaster Park Place to Carisbrook Park; Twickenham Drive to a public reserve and Erica Close to St Georges Terrace will also close. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have a right to feel safe in their neighbourhood and so many people who live near these walkways say they feel unsafe. They report increased vandalism, drug activity and refuse to use the walkways themselves, especially at night,â&#x20AC;? Mayor of Dubbo Region Ben Shields said. Council plans to sell the walkway land to adjacent landowners and modify the boundaries, however, in some cases there are reasons no sale can occur where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stormwater overland flow path or utility easement. In this situation, a security fence will be installed at each end of the walkway and the land will be maintained by Council staff.

WFH (Working From Home) and SFH (Schooling From Home) have become the new normal in 2020. Pictured are mum Jen Coote with Lara, 9, Spencer, 13, and Gemma, 11. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

Homeschooling divides opinion By LYDIA PEDRANA THE opinions among local parents who are home schooling their children are mixed. While some are finding the ‘remote learning’ model efficient and loving the extra time with their kids, others are battling to keep kids motivated and juggle their own work commitments. Some are even refusing to do it. Jen and Dave Coote and their four school aged children are all working from home at the moment. With children in Years 10, 8, 6 and 4, Mrs Coote said while it can be challenging to keep the kids focused, she feels grateful the family is spending so much time together. She also said a little bit of structure has helped them adapt to this new normal. “We have to get the kids out with us and sit them with us, Hannah (Year 10) is OK in her room, but my Year 8 boy, he did

nothing in his bedroom, so as soon as he is sitting out with us in the kitchen, he’s fine,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “The younger ones generally do their schoolwork until lunchtime, at least 12:30pm, and then that’s it, we’re done, we all have lunch together and the kids play outside and my husband and I get some more work done. “But I have to say I feel really lucky too, because we’re not lonely, there’s plenty to do, we’re going for walks, it’s real cool, I feel really lucky actually that we get to spend all this time with our kids.” Gemma Coote, 11, said she was completing as much work as she would at school, but doing it in half the time. “There’s not nearly as many distractions as there would be at school, so you can get more work done,” the year sixer said. Meanwhile, younger sister Lara, 9, said she was finding it hard to get motivated and would

rather be back in the classroom. The sisters agreed the best thing about learning from home was that they “get to stay at home all day” and the worst part was that they don’t get to see their friends. A Facebook post in a local mum’s group by this author garnered an array of different opinions on the homeschooling, or “schooling from home” topic. Many described a positive experience saying it was “straight forward”, “enticing” and “so far, so good.” On the flip side, others admitted they were finding it tough. Chelsea Benton said getting her nine-year-old child to do schoolwork was a “daily struggle”. “It’s just trying to get her attitude to change because she isn’t the only one, and I want her to not fall behind as I love her too much and want to see her succeed,” Ms Benton said. “We are definitely missing school, work and our routines.”

Meanwhile, Lisa Thornton, a mum and essential worker said: “I think the programs are great but not designed for working parents. “My mother helps out where she can, but it’s a major juggling act.” Another mum, who opted to remain anonymous, said she was not doing any structured learning because “the government shouldn’t expect us to. “We are parents and working parents at that,” the mother of two said. “We are not trained in educating children nor do children listen to their parents on most things, let alone schooling them.” Parents who usually home school their children were quick to add that this situation was unique and that even families who voluntarily home school their kids are also struggling without their usual trips to the park, ballet lessons, swim school and the library.

Small business should get paid within 30 days: Ombudsman

THE Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO) Kate Carnell has called for federal legislation requiring small businesses to be paid in 30 days, amid a fresh wave of big businesses using the Covid-19 crisis as an excuse for poor payment times. It’s a key recommendation made in ASBFEO’s final report regarding its Supply Chain Financing Review. “Large businesses extending or in some cases, suspending payments to small businesses are on notice that this behaviour is unacceptable,” Ms Carnell (pictured) said. “Many small businesses have been forced to close their doors and a lot may not survive the coming months, even with significant support from the government. That’s why it is more important than ever to ensure small businesses are paid on time.”

Dealing with job loss due to COVID-19 By LYDIA PEDRANA

WITH people across the country being stood down and laid off, many are dealing with the emotional impacts of job loss, namely grief. Experts in the space are urging those who have suffered employment cuts to prioritise their mental health and understand that what they are experiencing is a normal reaction to loss. CEO of National Association for Loss and Grief NSW (NALAG), Trudy Hanson, said as we negotiate the weeks and months to come, people will be and are already experiencing the reality of the loss and grief as the gravity of this new normal hits home. “When we are working with grief, we talk about secondary losses associated with the major loss, for example, along with the primary loss of a job, comes the secondary loss of identity,” Ms Hanson told Dubbo Photo News. “They start asking themselves questions like, ‘who am I now that I have lost my job?’, ‘I am not a chef or a mechanic anymore,’ and then there is the loss of being part of a team, loss of security and loss of purpose.” Mrs Hanson said people may experience feelings of shock, anxie-

` Another element is ‘survivor guilt’ where people say, ‘I feel sorry for all those people who have lost their jobs, I’m OK but I feel bad for them because I still have a job.’” – Trudy Hanson, NALAG (pictured) ty, confusion, anger, sadness, fear about the future, helplessness, hopelessness and worthlessness as the weeks go on. Furthermore, there are many more physical manifestations of loss and grief as well, such as nausea, tremors, sweating and headaches. “The grief process is a normal response to loss; most people go through it, and we all deal with the process in different ways,” she said. “Although we say that these feelings are ‘normal’, for those experiencing grief it certainly does not feel normal to them.” Even if you haven’t lost your job, it is not uncommon to experience feelings of loss and grief as result of the global pandemic too. “The COVID-19 crisis has had an impact on everyone in some way; many of the calls to NALAG for unrelated COVID-19 support have an element of sadness due to the current pandemic situation and the impact of isolation,” Mrs

Hanson said. “Another element is ‘survivor guilt’ where people say, ‘I feel sorry for all those people who have lost their jobs, I’m OK but I feel bad for them because I still have a job.’” To cope, Mrs Hanson said it’s important to first acknowledge these feelings of grief, stay connected to your loved ones and look after yourself by creating routine. “Keep in regular contact with work mates your family and friends via phone, Zoom or text and try to go outside and get some sunlight and exercise, get up every day and get dressed and eat healthy meals.” Above all, Mrs Hanson encourages people who have experienced loss or grief to reach out for professional help. “I know it is hard to ask for support, but please reach out for and ask for help,” she said. “NALAG is available state-wide and we have volunteers waiting to help 6882 9222.”

FOCUS ON FLETCHER’S

Dad’s medals, Dad’s work ethic

By JOHN RYAN KENT DICKENS is currently the financial controller for Fletcher International but he started his career from the bottom. He credits his success to a work ethic he inherited from his dad, a Vietnam veteran. “I started here in February 1996, we’d just started indenture traineeship program, I actually started work as a casual and after about six months became a permanent employee,’ Mr Dickens told Dubbo Photo News. “My first day at work was in the fellmongery painting skins for processing and I worked my way through the felly, the sale shed, the pickle shed through 1996. In 1997 he started a full-time TAFE course during the day, Tuesday to Friday with an 8:30am start and 3:30pm finish. “I changed my work shift out here so I could start at 4pm in the salt shed and would work through till about 12:30am or one o’clock in the morning and then get up again to go to TAFE through the day,” he said. That continued through 1997 and in 1998 he was offered a position in the export office, migrating from production life into export documentation progressively moving through oth-

er admin roles before arriving in the front office doing costings. Now, he heads up the finance team for the company and said he never envisaged he’d go from a casual labourer to such a senior professional role. “It wasn’t really a goal of mine, at the start I just had to find a job in town to put food on the table. Coming off a farm working as a jackaroo the production work I started with here wasn’t that different, it was a production environment but I still got to work outside but I never really had the aspiration or even the forethought that I’d end up working here for so long,” Mr Dickens said, explaining that hard work and opportunities for advancement are pillars of company policy. “It’s been a great opportunity for me and I’ve seen a number of other people follow similar paths within the company. There’s other staff members that are working for us today that all came from a similar starting position in production and who were able to capitalise on the many opportunities that are offered out here. “You get the chance, if you’ve got a good work ethic, to progress in jobs where you have a particular aptitude or talent and the company does see that, the company culture is very responsive to that and is more than ready to give someone a fair go,” he said.

He credits his dad for a caring upbringing where his boundaries were well laid out. “There was an element of discipline around the household, for sure, my father’s a fairly grounded person and I like to think he brought the family up quite sensibly, we all have a great work ethic, my brother, sister and myself and I definitely think that was linked to his time in the military,” Mr Dickens said. “Dad joined voluntarily and it was his time in the air force cadets which gave him that desire to serve his country and in the late 1960s I think job prospects weren’t too good. “He was in the Vietnam war from 1969 to 1971, he was a military policeman (MP) serving with the Australian Army.” Mr Dickens credits his father’s solid work ethic, and the role model he projected to his kids, as vitally important to his own success. “I’m very proud, for sure. Dad grew up in a lower socio-economic background in a working family and he was a shearer, a shearing contractor. I think dad’s work ethic was critical in helping me become who I am. “After entering the workforce I found that having a solid work ethic means you can work your way up; it can take you a long way.”

Working hard to protect staff, even when there’s no work By LYDIA PEDRANA LOCAL companies are doing their best to look after their staff amid the COVID-19 global crisis, according to senior recruiter, Melinda Barton, from Spinifex Recruitment in Dubbo. “It seems that companies are trying to look after their permanent workforce as much as possible,” Mrs Barton told Dubbo Photo News. “I have spoken to companies who are on half-staff with employees taking annual leave or who have taken a pay reduction.” Mrs Barton said some business are even running in the red, so they meet newly introduced government employee incentive criteria. “There are also companies who are continuing to trade in order to make a sufficient loss in turnover to qualify

for the JobKeeper payment from the government.” The JobKeeper scheme allows businesses to receive $1500 every fortnight over six months for all eligible employees, and employers are legally obligated to pass that funding onto their workers. Designed to maintain links between bosses and staff during the pandemic, the government estimates six million jobs could be saved. Full time and part time employees, along with casuals who have a one-year link with their employer, and sole traders are eligible. Additionally, businesses must have seen at least a 30 per cent loss in turnover as a result of the coronavirus crisis. She says it’s unfortunate that temporary and casual staff are most likely to be the hardest hit when it comes to job losses amid the pandemic.

“We have seen a reduction in our temp and casual business of probably around 50 per cent,” Mrs Barton said. “We have found that people who were employed as casual and temporary staff are either losing hours or being put off completely. “We’ve also had job orders for casual and temporary staff that have been cancelled or put on hold until after the crisis.” And while it’s no surprise that local retail and hospitality companies aren’t hiring at the moment, there are still some industries looking for workers. Mrs Barton said there are opportunities available in mining, the government sector, community and social services, for example, in aged care, NDIS related roles and mental health roles, as well as the healthcare sector more broadly and infrastructure and construction.

If this incident was far worse than we’re being led to believe, that’s a bad thing for the local community.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Five new cops in town DUBBO has five new police and they socially distanced themselves while being introduced to the media during their first official day on the job. They finished their police academy training in semi-lockdown and said that was challenging, as is taking to the streets as cops who have to protect their own health, and the health of the community, while dealing with people in all sorts of unsavoury situations. Acting Orana Superintendent Keith Ridley said it doesn’t matter what sort of broader circumstances are confronting the world, the basic job of policing must go on. “It is a new challenge, it’s a challenge we haven’t seen before,” Supt Ridley said. “We respond through the current COVID-19 pandemic as we would normally respond to all our jobs, we do risk-assessing to see how we respond to jobs. “It’s business as usual, people ring up all the time to report crime and we’re out there patrolling the streets – some people wish to take advantage of the situation in relation to premises that may be closed or taking advantage of onthe-spot property crime,” he said.

Motorbike madness POLICE are asking for public assistance to help them identity two people riding a motorbike along the Tracker Riley Cycleway on Sunday afternoon. The cycleway is heavily used by local families and this sort of behaviour poses a risk to the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, especially younger children. If anyone knows the identity of either person, please contact Dubbo police on 6883 1599.

years ago. It’s not the fault of the local cops, they’re doing the best with what they have, but they’re getting smashed and at the moment it’s all they can do just to react to the various criminal start-ups that have been taking advantage of the rest of the population doing the right thing.

Criminal trespassing thieves IT’S bad enough to have things you own stolen, it’s far worse when they’re items of sentimental family value. Paul Edwards has spent a lifetime building up a collection of motorbikes and other vintage gear as well as the modern day units his kids ride, and his shed also contained a lot of stuff of his dad’s that would be of no use to anyone else. A car trailer, jet ski on trailer, 15 motorcycles mostly smaller kids bikes, a quad, trike and heaps of motorcycle spares were taken.

Dog day morning SOME friends of mine in Wellington woke up last weekend wondering if their backyard had been converted into a blood bank. Everything turned out okay, it merely appears an unannounced ‘visitor’ who rocked up about 5.30am had a quick chat to the family dog before retiring from the field of battle. Nothing was stolen, and I can understand the appetite to help yourself to something that’s not yours would naturally diminish if you’re leaking claret all over the place, but the police were notified. My mates believe that every crime, or attempted criminal incident, should be called in, not only so police get the picture of the broader puzzle, but also so our state MP Dugald Saunders has more reason to argue for a 24hour police station for Wellington. It is beyond ludicrous that you’d build two giant jails in a small country yet staff that town with far fewer police than it had 20

MOTORISTS travelling along the Newell Highway near Gilgandra on the morning of April 15 were treated to a spectacular sight: a crash between a Freightliner truck and a Toyota Aurion, and a giant Massey Ferguson tractor thrown off the trailer, turning it into a mangled wreck. The 74-year-old female driver of the Aurion was trapped in her vehicle for a short time before being taken to Dubbo Hospital in a serious but stable condition. Plenty of diesel spilled onto the roadway and one lane on the Newell Highway was closed until it was cleaned. The road was fully re-opened at 4.30pm.

Lucky escape after car crash near saleyards EMERGENCY services rushed to the intersection of the Newell Highway and Troy Bridge Road, 5km north of Dubbo, following reports of a crash involving a Kia Sedan and a Nissan Pajero. The driver of the Kia, a 39-yearold woman was trapped for a short time before being taken to Dubbo Hospital suffering minor injuries. Once again, it was an outstanding response from local emergency services. Well done.

Young boy freed after being trapped under truck SIRENS screamed throughout Dubbo on Saturday afternoon as dozens of police and emergency crews responded to reports a young boy was trapped underneath a truck on a small block just off Bennelong Road, south of the city. On arrival the rescue personnel worked tirelessly to free the young boy, paramedics treating him at the scene before rushing him to Dubbo Regional Airport to the waiting Westpac Rescue chopper. He received further treatment from the Westpac medical team before being airlifted to Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

She has sent emails to successive state politicians, but claims her concerns were dismissed as a non-issue. “The last response from Dugald Saunders was a template-style letter, signed by him but he seemed

30 cannabis plants seized

Brazen break-in leaves Wello residents fuming BACK to Wellington and Danielle Griffith’s house was one of many broken into last weekend. “Once again Wellington’s finest were out and about,” Mrs Griffiths told Dubbo Photo News. “They broke our padlocked gate and trespassed in our yard looking for stuff to steal. We only realised this when our dog, who was running the streets, was found by someone this morning,” she said at the weekend. CCTV vision captured two hooded, youngish crooks wearing distinctive shoes and clothing, both wearing gloves and carrying torches. One of the perpetrators had a black key lanyard hanging out of his pocket. Like the Edwards’ family mentioned earlier in this column, Mrs Griffith is sick of the break and enters in the town and is offering a reward for information which leads to an arrest in their matter. Meantime, she’s warning others in the town to beware, she says there just aren’t enough police to do their job. “I’d recommend everyone triple-check their security, particularly sheds and cars, and make sure nothing of value is left out,” Mrs Griffiths said. “The police do the best they can but are under-resourced. Last time I had someone stealing from my yard it took police 26 hours to attend because they had someone in custody and it took nine days for forensics to arrive. “Basically that means no proactive policing was done on that day,” she said. Mrs Griffiths said she’s been

A MASSIVE search for a missing Dubbo man has ended in the worst possible way. The 30-year-old man was reported missing after he was last seen leaving a home in Dubbo about 9.30am on April 17. Emergency services workers from multiple agencies joined in the search and on April 18, the body of a man was located in bushland near Belowrie Road, Dubbo. Police say inquiries into the incident continue, however the man’s death is not being treated as suspicious. Police would like to thank the public and the media for their assistance. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

POLICE have charged a 67-yearold man following an investigation into the cultivation of drugs after officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District attended a home on McGuiness Lane, Weetaliba, north of Coolah. During a search of the home officers located and seized 30 cannabis plants. The man was taken to Coonabarabran Police Station where he was charged with ‘cultivate prohibited plant’. He was given conditional bail to appear at Coonabarabran Local Court on April 27.

Goats gone to know nothing about my case when I stopped him in the street a day earlier,” she said. “Did you know when the new jail was built they didn’t assess the impact on the town because it was a temporary jail ($188 million later). “The people of Wellington deserve so much more than to be continually dismissed by the people who are meant to represent them,” Mrs Griffiths said. Dubbo Photo News has asked Dugald Saunders for his comments on this issue. Mrs Griffiths said the police response to the latest incident had been outstanding, but said local officers were rushed off their feet.

Jail riot and fire damage could be in the millions I’M consistently hearing that the recent riot and fire at Wellington jail was far more serious than has been confirmed by officials so far. I’ve asked Corrective Service to send me a few details, real details, details far different to the initial press blurb that I was handed. Here’s what I’ve asked for: Estimates of the damage? How many prisoners had to be moved to other facilities? How much did the immediate response to the incident cost? How many Corrective Services personnel had to be deployed, etc? What I’m chasing now is more

BOURKE police are investigating the theft of eight goats from a property near the town around April 16 and 17. The owner of the property discovered fencing cut and vehicle tracks leading onto the property. If you have any information about this theft or know the location of these goats, please contact Bourke Police Station on 02 68700899 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Hay fraud finalised in court IT’S easy to forget routine matters as the coronavirus pandemic plays out across the globe, but just a few days ago a 27-year-old man was condemned by magistrate Theo Tsavdaridis for ripping off 24, vulnerable and unsuspecting farmers across the state in 2018 and 2019, at the height of the long-running drought. Well done to the team who made up Strike Force Woden to investigate that particular hay fraud racket. The court ordered the man to pay back $92,334 to his victims after swindling them via a scam in which he used a series of aliases to post online ads offering discounted lucerne hay bales and firewood. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

AUSTIN Bourke has been acquiring Australian military artefacts for decades and has one of the best collections in the country. But he says it’s not about having lots of valuable history for personal pleasure, he regards it as a community service. “It’s important for me to keep it because the past needs to be preserved. A lot of this stuff came from the tip, it’s unbelievable that they’d throw it out,” Mr Bourke told Dubbo Photo News. Standing in front of a giant photo of early ANZACs, he recounted how a local bloke found that picture thrown onto a pile of rubbish, along with a picture of a WWI troop ship. The long-time military enthusiast says it’s incredible how much value the current generation places on ANZAC Day, and the contrast with many in older generations who didn’t value this sort of memorabilia. “The photo of the Madras, that’s the ship that brought the Lighthorse home, it was in the Dubbo tip, the picture of the soldiers with very early uniforms, it must have been when they first enlisted, that was dumped at the Dubbo tip,” he said. “When veterans or serving members of the armed services come into the shop they’re amazed, most people have no idea what’s here, a lot of them are very gratified that I’ve

been preserving it.” Mr Bourke says it will be tough on diggers who won’t get to catch up with comrades in arms at ceremonies on ANZAC Day this year. “It’ll devastate many of them,” he said. The 87-year-old said he tried to join the army to fight in World War II but, while a lot of older-looking 15 and 16-year-olds got to enlist, he couldn’t convince the recruiters he was old enough. “I tried to enlist when I was 12 years old and they wouldn’t take me. I was military mad as a kid in Bourke, I sat there for days when they came out to sign people up and they said I was too young in I think 1943 or 1944,” he said. “So I do what I can here to honour the memory of everyone who served – and especially those who didn’t return.”

Petition launched to save Myer

By LYDIA PEDRANA

A LOCAL businessman has hatched a plan to ensure the future of Myer’s bricks and mortar stores post the COVID-19 pandemic. Dubbo physiotherapist David Sparshott believes a portion of profits from every online Myer purchase should go to the customer’s closest Myer store to assist financially when the company deems it safe to reopen its doors. The idea came to Mr Sparshott after speaking to staff while shopping for towels at Myer on the final day before the temporary shutdowns came into effect. Mr Sparshott went on to launch a change.org petition directed to Myer CEO John King promoting the model, which at the time of writing had attracted 151 signatures. “Of course the online stores need to make something, but I just thought if someone in Dubbo was to buy something, or someone in Gilgandra was to buy something online, then if 50 per cent or a per centage of the profit went to the Dubbo store, that would help to keep some money trickling in and it’s more likely it will survive,” the owner of Precision Health Care Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation told Dubbo Photo News. “I’m a business owner and I feel like it would be a winwin situation if Myer were able to promote that fact during this shutdown, or these

restrictions, that local people when you buy online from Myer, part of the profits will go to your local store. “I think people would be more likely to shop through Myer than somewhere else potentially.” Other than being a loyal

Myer customer, Mr Sparshott has no links to the department store, but is worried that an extended shutdown could see regional stores suffer in the long run. “I just think it would be a shame if this drags on for six months and our store has to

close, or any of them, really,” he said. “Dubbo losing a store like Myer in the CBD would be quite detrimental to the main street particularly, but the CBD in total.” Myer Holdings Limited made the decision to temporarily close its stores for an initial four-week period late last month in a bid to protect the health and wellbeing of staff and customers amid the coronavirus outbreak. More than 10,000 staff across the store network and Store Support Office were stood down without pay. Dubbo Photo News contacted Myer’s head office to flag Mr Sparshott’s idea – they guaranteed the concept would be passed on to management and promised the Macquarie Street store would reopen its doors as soon as possible. “We are so grateful for our loyal customers, like David, who love the Myer brand as much as we do and who are committed to supporting their local stores,” a Myer spokesperson responded. “Whilst we temporarily closed stores due to COVID-19, for the health and safety of our team members, customers and the communities in which we operate, we look forward to opening them again soon and welcoming our Dubbo customers back into the store.” z To sign Mr Sparshott’s petition, visit: tinyurl.com/SaveMyer

THE NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) will provide emergency relief to isolated Aboriginal communities through an unprecedented state-wide assistance program. The initiative has also led to a partnership with the NSW Government as a way to help the most vulnerable communities impacted by COVID-19 measures. NSWALC committed to purchasing 1000 Basics Boxes from Woolworths, the first of which were due to be sent to Aboriginal communities this month. As the social distancing re-

strictions continue to apply, the partnership with the NSW Government will deliver hundreds of pre-packed food and hygiene boxes to the most at risk and in our most vulnerable communities. The council says Aboriginal people are extremely vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19. History bears that out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when swine flu hit Australian shores 10 years ago, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 11 per cent of all identified cases, 20 per cent of hospitalisations and 13 per cent of deaths, even though they com-

prised just two per cent of the population. NSWALC says Aboriginal communities have to be prepared for the possibility of similar rates of transmission this time around. The organisation is currently focusing on Elders first and foremost, as the custodians of culture and truth, but NSWALC says there are more packages available and is encouraging those vulnerable individuals in isolated communities to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible.

RSL boss calls for community to show ANZAC support JOHN Millar joined the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and served for nine years, seeing active service in far east Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo. He served on numerous ships including HMAS Vendetta, Derwent, Stalwart, and Perth, as well as being based at numerous RAN depots. For years he’s been involved in many aspects of Dubbo’s Returned Services League, currently serving as Dubbo RSL Memorial Club president as well as holding the positions of treasurer and trustee with Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch. As president of Dubbo’s powerhouse RSL Memorial Club, he feels an overwhelming obligation to ensure veterans in this region are supported, and it was with much emotion in his voice that he explained to Dubbo Photo News just how tough it was going to be for so many returned and current service people to miss out on ANZAC Day commemorations this year. “It’s devastating, it’s our day, it’s our day to look after one another and enjoy that day, so to not have it, to miss having those good times with your friends and enjoy the company of your

mates, it’s pretty devastating,” Mr Millar said. He believes it will be vitally important for veterans to stand at their letterboxes at dawn on April 25, but perhaps even more so, for them to see other people in their street also doing that. Mr Millar says it’s a tremendous way for locals to show there’s such widespread community support for people who’ve served their nation. “It’s very special that veterans do it but it’s incredibly special if members of the community do it too – it’s them showing respect the only way they can on ANZAC Day this year, because they can’t come down to a ceremony at the Cenotaph. It’s very special and I’ll certainly be out at my letterbox,” Mr Millar said. He’s also urging veterans and current members of the defence forces to watch televised and streamed ANZAC commemorations on the day, as well as phone a mate. For himself, Mr Millar will still be going to pay his private respects at the spiritual home of Dubbo’s ANZAC Day ceremonies. “At about 7am I’ll be coming down to the Cenotaph to John Millar says he’ll be laying a wreath at Dubbo Cenotaph on April 25, by himself because of social distancing rules currently in place. lay a wreath, by myself.”

ANZAC 2020

It’s a small military world DUBBO RSL Sub-Branch vice-president Jeff Caldbeck arrived in Dubbo via a roundabout route that not even all his sailing across the world’s oceans could have prepared him for. “I joined the Royal Australian Navy from Boggabri, in the Barwon Valley. I had a cousin in the navy and that’s what prompted me to do it, I didn’t want to do Years 11 and 12 anyway,” Mr Caldbeck said. “I joined the navy as what was called a junior recruit in those days and we had to travel over to Western Australia. There were four intakes each year of 220 16-yearolds, so you can imagine what that was like,” explaining that in the navy, as in all the armed services, you get out of bed early and cram a lot into a single year. “I was there all of 1969 and in that period we did the HSC, in 12 months, and learnt how to be a sailor and then went to sea,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “I went to sea for about 12 months and then came back to do what was called my ‘rating’, my rate training which in my case was underwater control.” It’s a small world in the Aussie military and he said that explains in part why veterans tend be so tight, with most ex-service people you run into at least knowing some of your mates you’ve served with. But that doesn’t explain the series of coincidences which led Jeff to an old mate in Dubbo. “Believe it or not, when I was doing my training in underwater control, which is a sonar operator, Tom Gray was my instructor,” Mr Caldbeck told Dubbo Photo News, referring to the man who now serves as president of Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch. But that’s not all. “Believe it or not when I left the navy and joined the ambulance, I moved from Collarenebri where I was stationed and transferred to Dubbo in 1982 and I lived in Wentworth Street, two doors from Tom Gray.”

Mr Caldbeck spent years as a rural financial counsellor and said that experience of dealing with mental trauma has left him in no doubt that fellow vets will get a lot of support from shared community experiences this April 25. “What Dubbo Photo News is

doing here is fabulous, it’s really great to have a recognition of what we can do collectively because otherwise it was going to be people standing at the end of their driveways and that was it,” he said. “I got a flyer that St Brigid’s will

be running a church service and live-streaming that, and that’s also great, but the kids aren’t going to see the veterans march, we’re not going to have a crowd, the bands are not going to play – and a lot of us are the children of World War II diggers so we carry

Dubbo’s only VC: Rawdon Hume Middleton By JOHN RYAN PILOT Officer Rawdon Hume Middleton was born on July 22, at Waverly in Sydney, a great-nephew of the explorer Hamilton Hume, and his family moved to Dubbo while he was a young child. He became a keen sportsman and later found work as a jackeroo. He enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) on October 14, 1940, under the Empire Air Training Scheme and learnt to fly at Narromine before being sent to Canada to continue his instruction. Middleton was awarded the Victoria Cross for He reached Britain his selﬂess bravery. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS in September 1941,

and was promoted to Flight Sergeant in December that year, being posted to 149 Squadron, Royal Air Force to begin his operational career. His first operational flights over the German Ruhr Valley were as second pilot in Short Stirling bombers but by July he had become first pilot. On November 28, 1942, he took off on his 29th operation to bomb the Fiat works in Turin, Italy. Middleton’s aircraft was struck by flak over the target, one shell exploded in the cockpit wounding Middleton in the face and destroying his right eye. The same shell also wounded the second pilot and wireless operator and Middleton lost consciousness and the aircraft dived to just 800 feet before the second

pilot brought it under control. They were also hit by more flak as they tried to escape the target. When Middleton regained consciousness he began the long and gruelling flight back over the Alps towards England, fearing that his damaged aircraft had insufficient fuel to complete the journey. The crew discussed the possibility of abandoning the aircraft or trying to land in northern France but Middleton decided to head for England where his crew would have the chance to bail out. As they approached the French coast the Stirling was again hit by flak but flew on, arriving over the coast of England with just five minutes of fuel left in its tanks. Middleton ordered the crew to abandon the aircraft, with five men bailing out and two remain-

ing on board to help Middleton before attempting to parachute to safety, although unfortunately both were drowned. The Stirling then crashed into the sea, killing Middleton, but his selfless act prevented any civilians from being killed if the heavy bomber had crashed on land. The young pilot officer was just one operation away from completing his first tour on bombers. His bravery was recorded in the English press and earned him the admiration of the British public and a posthumous Victoria Cross. His body washed ashore at Shakespeare Beach, Dover on February 1, 1943, and he was buried in the churchyard of St. John’s, Beck’s Row, Suffolk, with full military honours. He remains Dubbo’s only VC.

ANZAC 2020

“Dubbo’s such a welcoming place for veterans” CHRISTOPHER “Muddy” Waters joined the Australian Army as a 16-year-old in 1988. He began his service life as a Corps Enlisted Bandsman and did that for 18 years whilst qualifying as a combat medic, later crossing over to become a nursing officer and earning a commission. He now runs the Emergency Department at Dubbo Hospital and says those years of army training have stood him in good stead. Army medical training is focussed on outcomes and is based on protocols, systems and logistics, with the added experience gained by active service stints which expose medics and nurses to multiple trauma events which aren’t often seen in civilian life. “My job is just to basically coordinate, I’m the navigator. Yes, I’m involved in traumas but I scribe. It’s still a clinical position but... I basically navigate everyone around that emergency department – doctors, nurses and patients, who are foremost,” Mr Waters told Dubbo Photo News. “With my experience in the military it’s easy for me and it’s enjoyable.” He’s concerned

that missing ANZAC ceremonies could be a big mental health hit to people who may already be feeling fragile due to Post Traumatic Stress and other after-effects from serving on the battlefield. Now he’s calling of his fellow vets to encourage each other to get involved in ANZAC Day activities this year. “I think it’s very important. “There’s a couple of soldiers – a brigadier and a Regimental Sergeant Major – who started the call for all servicemen and women to go to the front of their driveways at 6 o’clock in the morning on ANZAC Day,” Mr Waters said. Being an “old muso” himself, Mr Waters was particularly interested in an idea from one of Australia’s best trumpet players. “I noticed the musician James Morrison also got on board and said, ‘You know, everyone who’s a bugler should get to the front of their homes,’ and I think it’s a great idea, you do whatever you can. “A lot of blokes will be disappointed because it is a big, big day for a lot of people to get out to ceremonies and see mates and reconnect and get your mental health started all over again,”

he said. He says despite the push by mainstream and social media, many people may still fall between the cracks and not be aware of the many activities planned for April 25. “I think for servicemen it’s more about ringing your mates and getting them involved in it, it can be on the media, it can be everywhere, but for us I think getting on the phone, getting on the blower and actually ringing a few mates and saying, ‘Hey, this might be a great idea,’” he said. “You might live in the same street as a couple of veterans, so I think all vets should get on the phone and get their mates to get out there.” He was proud to be involved with his RSL mates in the special photo shoot staged for this edition of Dubbo Photo News and said the city is a great place for former servicemen and women. “We have our sub-branch meetings and it’s always good just to walk in and catch up. Dubbo’s a very special place because there’s such a big age difference in the vets who are involved and everyone’s welcome. In some other places I’ve been, it hasn’t been that way.”

Christopher “Muddy” Waters wants all vets to ring their mates to urge them to stand at their letterboxes to join a collective isolated dawn service on ANZAC Day.

Young church bugler set to join the army

18-year-old Pat Smith, who is joining the Australian Army in June, said he was honoured to be featured in a photo shoot with so many veterans.

PAT Smith has been playing trumpet since he was in primary school and that just naturally progressed through to high school. A St Johns College student in the Catholic school system, he knew Father Greg Kennedy who is organising a live-stream of St Brigid’s ANZAC Day morning service. “Fr Greg knew I was able to play ‘The Last Post’ so he asked me to play at the live-streamed church service this ANZAC Day, and I was very happy to,” Mr Smith said. Adding to his emotions will be the knowledge he’ll be a soldier himself within a few short

months. “I’m joining the army on the 21st of June as a marine specialist, that should be pretty exciting. They run the army’s fleet of boats, landing craft and amphibious vehicles so I’ll get to operate those and work in the Royal Australian Corps of Transport, that’s the branch of service the boats come under,” he said. “I was in the Air Force Cadets and I did an Air Force Cadet camp, went up to Darwin and met some army guys who are marine specialists and that seemed like a really good role so I did a bit of research. I original-

MEMENTOS OF WAR

HOLES IN HAT TRIGGER BITTERSWEET MEMORIES By JOHN RYAN ROBYN Bourke has fond memories of her mum’s partner, a man who was like a stepfather to her. Stan Talbot served in the Australian 8th Division, troops who were disembarked at Singapore on their way back from fighting in the Middle East during World War II. After the military debacle on the peninsula caused by compounded British bungles, Stan joined many of his mates imprisoned in the notorious Changi Prisoner of War Camp. Robyn still treasures the torn and battered slouch hat Stan wore during those dreadful years of captivity. “This particular hat was the

one he wore when he was a prisoner of war in the Changi prison camp,” Mrs Bourke told Dubbo Photo News. Mr Talbot survived the war, but more tragedy was to follow. “He died of cancer – a lot of soldiers from that division died of throat cancer, they used to smoke all sorts of things. “It makes me feel sad when I see the hat, he was not a very good patient in hospital, he had to have a laryngectomy and it was so tragic to be sick this way after you’ve survived so much in the war,” she said. Another memento she has is a photograph of Stan and his mates prior to embarking for service overseas. “I’ve got a photo of all the men going to war at St James

Station in Sydney and all these young men are standing there with their duffel bags,” she said. About 20 years ago a customer came into the shop and saw that photo and said he was one of the young blokes in the shot. “It was incredible after all those years, he was so pleased he borrowed the photo so they could make up copies for all the men in the picture who had survived. “Preserving these bits of history is so important, everything has a story.” Robyn Bourke wouldn’t give up Stan Talbot’s hat for anything in the world, despite the battered headgear triggering painful memories of the past.

ly wanted to join the Air Force and be a pilot but changed my mind. “I’m excited, I’m proud, definitely, I can’t wait to get in. It’s a career I see that has really good mateship in it and it’s something that’s going to mean something,” he said. Added to the emotions running through his mind as he plays the The Last Post on April 25 will be his memory of taking part in Dubbo Photo News’ special coverage photo shoot at the Dubbo Cenotaph a few days ago, where he got to interact with a group of former servicemen. He said the bond be-

tween the veterans of all ages really struck a chord. “I felt honoured to be here with these gentlemen, you can see what they stand for and I’m proud I’ll be standing for the same thing in my army career,” Mr Smith said. “Playing The Last Post this ANZAC Day, it’ll mean a lot, because I’ll know how much it means to them and also all the other people who’ll be sitting at home – I’ll know I’m doing something important for the community.” z A live stream of the ANZAC Day Mass from St Brigid’s Catholic Church in Dubbo will be available from 8.30am via www.stbrigidsdubbo.com

ANZAC a family affair for Bert FOR someone who grew up in a family where many members had made the ultimate sacrifice, or endured incredible hardships in the service of their country, Bert McLellan is upbeat about the support veterans receive from the broader community. He was called up for National Service in 1967 and did two years in the Australian Army, completing his basic training at Singleton followed by jungle training before deploying to Vietnam in November 1967. He saw plenty of active service during that stint, coming home in December 1968, and said that despite the national snub Vietnam vets received, he’ll be forever grateful for the fellowship offered by the RSL. “I was pretty lucky, my father had been in the second world war, he was a prisoner of war (POW) in Japan and Singapore, worked on the Burma Railway Line, and he was a member of a small

sub-branch on the Liverpool Plains and they welcomed me home, joined me up in the RSL straight away,” Mr McLellan said. He says that helped him through the transition back into civilian life, and believes that shared experience and peer support is crucial. He says ANZAC is all about mateship and says not having the traditional ANZAC ceremonies will be very difficult for so many veterans. “Go to your letterboxes at dawn on ANZAC Day, whether you’ve served or whether you just want to say thanks to those who have,” he said. For Bert McLellan, the notion of sacrifice is very real. “A lot of the blokes I served with have died or committed suicide. Two weeks ago one of my mates from Victoria passed away, I’m the only one now left alive out of my section. I’m 74 years of age, it’s quite sad actually,” he said. “I also had two great un-

cles who were killed at Gallipoli, and at the time when I went into the army my brother was already in the army – he did 25 years in artillery.” He also had two uncles who were POWs of the Japanese, telling Dubbo Photo News almost every member of his family has connections with the armed forces. Mr McLellan is just one of many local soldiers who have been imbued with a spirt of giving back. He was Dubbo RSL SubBranch president from 1991 until 2002 and has been secretary of Legacy for more than 20 years. “I’ve always considered you have to give back to community and my father was always a great believer in the RSL and so that’s sort of carried on, I’m still on the committee of the sub-branch.” He says that’s what he means when he ponders on those immortal words “Lest we Forget”.

Bert McLellan says he’ll never forget the sacriﬁces made by so many of his relatives in their service to Australia.

Wounded veteran counts his blessings SHAUN Graham joined the Australian Army in 1988 and was allocated to the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery. “My trade in artillery was as a forward observer and also in the command posts, not actually on the guns as such, so I served out with the infantry and armoured units mainly,” Mr Graham said. “I served through southeast Asia and the Middle East on numerous occasions, I served for 27 years and discharged at the beginning of 2015. “I was wounded in Afghanistan and medically discharged, I retired to Dubbo post service – I’ve got a little boy here, it’s all good,”

he told Dubbo Photo News. Like most veterans, he said he’s going to sorely miss attending an ANZAC service on the day. “It’s disappointing in the fact that it moves away from the actual meaning of the day, being there as a group of people who’ve served, to remember those that paid the supreme sacrifice and didn’t come home,” he said. Given so many people over the years have sacrificed their lives for our current freedoms, he says it’s important for the very culture of our nation that as many people as possible go outside and stand at their letterboxes as the sun comes up on April 25 this year. “I think it’s very, very im-

portant because it shows as a country the respect for the sacrifices made by those men and women who didn’t come home,” he said. “Those ultimate sacrifices were made so that we can actually stand at our letterbox and remember them – they’re the whole reason we can do it.” Mr Graham says that if he’s standing at his letterbox, and other people nearby are doing the same, he’ll be incredibly appreciative. “It will make me feel very proud.” Right: Shaun Graham was medically discharged from the Australian Army after being wounded in Afghanistan.

ANZAC 2020

Vets helping vets TOM Gray was born at Dubbo and joined the navy in 1962. He was paid off 20 years later and is proud of his service. “I was a Chief Petty Officer (COP) Underwater Control, that’s a sonarman. I served on too many ships to mention,” Mr Gray said, explaining why a Dubbo boy felt compelled to join the navy when the closest ocean was hundreds of miles away from what was then a rural town. “The bloke across the road, he’d been in the navy and I thought that’s not a bad life, I’ll do that, and you’d be surprised at the number of people who come from here that were actually in the navy.” The Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch president says ANZAC Day has always been a vital relief valve for veterans, where people who’ve been through similar experiences can gather together, where everyone is on the same wavelength and where no-one has to explain themselves. “ANZAC Day’s a good day for people to get together, they seem to talk – and whether army, navy or air force, you’ve all got the same lingo,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “Some people go all year without seeing anyone else who served in the defence forces so on ANZAC Day we can all get together and

it’s just a great day where it’s more about remembering the fallen and especially all those who are in the services today.” His message to the troops is to get involved as much as they can to stave off any regrets that traditional ceremonies won’t be staged this year. “Our local church St Brigid’s is holding an ANZAC Day mass, only a few people will be at the actual mass but there’s going to be a livestream on the web and I’m hoping people do have a look at that, sit down and look and listen to it, it doesn’t matter what religion you are,” Mr Gray said. “They’re also televising the dawn service from Canberra. “There’s already a lot of people who’ve said they’ll stand at their letterboxes at 6 o’clock in the morning, that’s the time we generally have our dawn service, and I’d like to see people in our community do that.” He said if veterans are going to stand at the top of their driveways, he’d like their neighbours to do it as well to give those vets their support and to say ‘thank you’. “I just hope everyone gets out to their letterboxes and remembers our fallen, remembers the people who are wearing their uniforms today,” he said.

Tom Gray spent years serving Australia in the navy, now he’s serving in another capacity, helping local veterans as the president of Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch.

Mr Gray, along with other local vets from Dubbo and across the nation, say they’ve been buoyed by the community support for ANZAC Day in recent years, particularly from younger generations. “10 years ago we all thought that ANZAC Day would be just our troops, just the ex-service personnel that are in town coming along,

but there’s been a great surge of the numbers showing up here on ANZAC Day for the dawn service and the 11 o’clock service.” There are now no World War II veterans left in Dubbo and Mr Gray is calling on locals to remember the sacrifices made by that generation of Australians in the face of the current pandemic.

“I’ve heard people say they reckon COVID-19 is like a second world war; I feel that Australia has pulled together like they did in the 1940s and I feel they have supported what our governments are doing,” Mr Gray said.

“Remember our fallen – lest we forget.”

Veteran says Digger spirit will sustain them over ANZAC Day 2020 GREG Salmon is one of many who’ve put incredible amounts of time into the RSL to support fellow vets. “I’ve been a member of the RSL since 1970, I was state councillor for a couple of years and was district president and now I’m just on the committee of Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch,” Mr Salmon told Dubbo Photo News. “I was a National Serviceman, I was called up in FebLeft: Greg Salmon believes the civilian population will be more affected by the cancellation of ANZAC Day ceremonies than the diggers themselves.

ruary 1967, four days after my 21st birthday and posted to 9RAR in Adelaide in November – that was a new battalion just starting up. “We trained until the following November and then we went overseas.” He said the cancellation of ANZAC Day services this year is a huge blow but said to people who’ve stared death in the face, and seen mates not come home, it’s just another challenge. “It’s going to be hard for the diggers but they accept it, we’ve been through these hardships before,” he said. “I think the people who will

be most disappointed will be the civilians, the crowds, it’s the one day where they really come together and I think that’s what will be sadly missed. It’s the day where they can remember their family members who served, and I think the general population will miss it more than the diggers.” He says the comradeship of the diggers will get them through and it’s not something that can be explained unless you’ve been there and done that. “There’s just a secret language that diggers have, you know, you can’t talk to a civil-

ian the same way, the bond’s just not there,” Mr Salmon explained. He’s pleased there are movements across Australia to encourage as many people as possible to stand at their letterboxes at dawn as well as broadcast ANZAC services and stream the local church service over the internet. “If you can do any of those things, do them – I’m hopeless with all this technology but I might sneak down to the Cenotaph at 6am,” he said. “Make the best of it and think of the ones who aren’t here. “Lest we Forget.”

ANZAC DAY 2020 ANZAC DAY MESSAGE

Mark Coulton, Federal Member for Parkes Comment by MARK COULTON ANZAC DAY is one of the most important days on our national calendar and attending a service in my electorate every year has always been a staple in my diary. It is a significant commemoration where we demonstrate our respect and admiration for ANZACs past and present. While we traditionally gather in large numbers, at its heart, ANZAC Day is a moment of personal reflection where we demonstrate our solemn respect for those who have served, and those who continue to serve in our nation’s uniform. This April 25th, while we cannot join together with friends and neighbours due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I encourage everyone in my electorate to continue this tradition. The difficult decision to cancel traditional ANZAC Day services around the nation was made in the interests of public safety and the health and wellbeing of the community. On ANZAC Day this year, the Australian War Memorial will televise a national dawn service on the ABC. This is an important opportunity for everyone to reflect on the service and sacrifice of all Australians who have fought and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations over a

century of service. I also encourage people to pause at 11.30am for a minute’s silence. This time corresponds with the landing of our troops at Gallipoli 105 years ago, and sends a clear message that despite the hardships we are facing, we contin-

ue to respect our servicemen and women. While it may look different this year, ANZAC Day is not cancelled, and there are a range of ways we can all pay our respects and mark the day. I acknowledge that ANZAC

Day is a time where many Australians commemorate together with their family and friends, and while current health advice prevents us from doing this, we still have the power of social media and can use the hashtags #AnzacAtHome and #TYFYS to

RURAL HEALTH MATTERS

share pictures and videos of our private commemorations. I’m looking forward to watching stories and reading messages from my constituents online – we can really put together an ANZAC Day that will make our veterans proud. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has developed a range of resources to assist Australians to commemorate ANZAC Day which can be downloaded from the Anzac Portal at www.anzacportal.dva.gov.au. You could also use this ANZAC Day to look into your family’s military history. The National Archives of Australia and the Australian War Memorial websites are great places to start. At a time when we are all at home and doing our part to minimise the spread of coronavirus, many may be feeling isolated and I encourage everyone to think about reaching out to someone they know who has served, whether by phone, email or even a letter. It has been inspiring to see different ideas emerging about the ways we can pay our respects this ANZAC Day. Whether it’s a solitary driveway tribute, baking ANZAC biscuits, or a small ceremony with your household, I encourage everyone to pause, reflect and say a simple ‘thank you for your service’. Lest we forget.

ADVERTORIAL

You CAN help… stay at home! Dr Catherine Hawke With stricter measures in place to stop the spread of Covid-19, these are challenging times for us as individuals and a community. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the huge amounts of information and advice being put out there, which can change on a daily basis. Medical staﬀ, teachers and other essential workers are facing this threat head-on, while some of us can be left feeling quite powerless to help in the event of such a huge global threat. But there is something we can all do that really does make a diﬀerence to the spread of Covid-19, and that is simply staying at home. It seems easy enough, but just by rethinking your trip and choosing to stay at home can have a huge impact by drastically reducing the chance of Covid-19 spreading. The School of Rural Health has been working with local doctors, health services and regional councils to develop and distribute the ‘Stay at Home’ message throughout the Central West. Their aim is to protect the community and our rural areas with low prevalence of Covid-19 from the escalation of the virus, to slow the rate of transmission which will allow our health services to cope. Orange’s Dr Kimberley Ivory has been actively promoting the message and believes we all have a part to play. “We still have a window of opportunity to stem the tide of Covid-19 cases in the Central West and stop the tsunami inundating our hospitals,” Dr Ivory said. “We must act now to minimize our infection rates and protect our limited health resources and health workers. Every person in our local community needs to act to beat Covid-19.”

So what should I do? The message for us is simple… Stay at Home! Here are the top ﬁve ways YOU can help: 1.

Stay at home whenever you can. Rethink every trip. The only reasons to leave home are to shop for necessities and health/medicine, to travel to work (if you can’t work from home) and to exercise once a day.

Do not travel outside your local area unless essential, especially not to Sydney and other areas of higher numbers of COVID-19 cases.

If you do need to go out, stay at least 1.5 metres away from other people and do not meet or visit others, even friends and family.

Wash your hands often and well, especially after going out. Take your shoes oﬀ before coming inside and wash your face too.

If possible, shop only once per week, and shop for elderly or vulnerable friends and relatives if needed. Always leave groceries and other essentials at their door.

What if I feel unwell? If you are feeling unwell, isolate yourself at home and call Health Direct on 1800 022 222 or your GP for advice. There are many places to ﬁnd up-to-date information on Covid-19. Visit the NSW Government website for all the latest news and advice at nsw.gov.au or the NSW Health website at health.nsw.gov.au, which has information for the public, patients and health professionals. There is also the National Coronavirus Helpline on 1800 020 080 for medical-related enquiries, or for other inquiries you can contact the Service NSW Covid-19 Hotline on 13 77 88.

ANZAC DAY 2020 ANZAC DAY MESSAGE

Dugald Saunders, State Member for Dubbo Comment by DUGALD SAUNDERS

Dugald Saunders says that while ANZAC Day this year will be different in many ways, “we will still ﬁnd ways to support each other and that is the important thing”. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

ANZAC Day services across the Dubbo electorate may have been cancelled this year, but that is perhaps all the more reason to ensure we commemorate this special day on April 25. We must never forget those who have served this great country and ANZAC Day is a time to remember them all. I have been pleased to see in recent years that so many younger members of our community are being educated about what ANZAC Day means, and we can’t afford to have that disappear. No matter where you are on this day, you can still find an opportunity to stop and reflect on what ANZAC means to you and to all of us, both young and old. Whether that is by standing solemnly in your driveway or crafting poppies and wreaths for your front door, as some have suggested, or by viewing a service on television or listening to a service on radio, we should all pause and remember those who sacrificed so much so that we can enjoy the freedoms we take for granted. Interestingly, at times like this, we become aware of what freedom means both individually and as a community. There are opportunities to be involved with local community services, including a live stream of the ANZAC

Day Mass from St Brigid’s Catholic Church in Dubbo from 8.30am. We find ourselves in difficult and challenging times, and now is the time to call on all our strength and character. The ANZAC qualities of courage, mateship, sacrifice and endurance have never been more important in our communities than at the present time. We are proud to be Australian and to have carried the Spirit of ANZAC with us through the generations. While I understand how difficult it will be for returned servicemen and women and current defence force personnel to not be able to gather and commemorate the fallen, there are other ways they can connect and share the spirit of the day, and that is what I am encouraging them to do. It is an unfortunate by-product of the situation we currently find ourselves in that face-to-face services and catchups won’t be happening, but if we’ve learnt anything through our involvement in conflict over the years it is that we can and will adapt. Like with so many other events, the 2020 edition of ANZAC Day won’t be what we have become accustomed to, however we will still find ways to support each other and that is the important thing. Lest we forget.

ANZAC DAY MESSAGE

Mayor Cr Ben Shields Comment by CR BEN SHIELDS, MAYOR OF DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL I CAN certainly understand how vets and their families must feel knowing that this year the traditional ANZAC Day ceremonies can’t go ahead because of the corona pandemic. The fact is our very existence and way of life today is due to the sacrifice of these men and women. A lot of Australians paid the ultimate sacrifice so we today can be safe. However, if we could ask our fallen warriors what they reckon about the pandemic today, they would want us to be safe from this horrid virus too. So it’s obviously the right decision to keep people as safe as possible by cancelling the traditional services, especially knowing that there are always a lot of older returned vets at the services who are amongst the most vulnerable. But this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t let ANZAC Day go without a commemoration. If anything, we can use this pandemic as a way to show our continuing gratitude by thinking outside the square. When I was much younger, one of the things I remember when I first learnt about the original ANZAC landings in Gallipoli was that our Aussie soldiers were a clever bunch. They really were innovative when it came to overcoming

obstacles. Take for example the periscope rifle. The periscope rifle was invented in May 1915 by Lance Corporal William Beech of the 2nd Battalion AIF at Gallipoli. This device allowed a soldier standing in a trench to take accurate aim and fire without exposing himself to the enemy. Beech modified a standard Lee-Enfield.303 rifle by cutting the stock in half. The two halves were re-connected with a board and mirror periscope, horizontally aligned to the sights of the rifle, as well as a string to pull the trigger, this meant that soldiers would not be exposed to enemy gunfire in the trenches. Clever fellows those ANZACs! This pandemic gives us an opportunity show some ANZAC-style larrikin ingenuity! There has been a suggestion that this year we should all stand at the end of our driveways at dawn to commemorate our fallen. Clever! Even though it’s more than 100 years since the first dawn at Gallipoli’s ANZAC Cove, Australians are putting their minds towards working out a solution to continue to remember our veterans. That’s truly inspiring and something to be proud of. Standing at the end of our driveways is certainly a clever way to do it – periscope rifle-style clever.

Mayor salutes Victoria Cross awardee Rawdon Middleton DUBBO Regional Council mayor Ben Shields said locals need look no further than the statue of local lad Rawdon Middleton when it comes to epitomising how the ANZAC spirit stands up to the most difficult challenges. A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) pilot officer

during World War II, he was flying a Short Stirling bomber for Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) 149 Squadron in November 1942 when he was wounded in an air raid over Italy. He flew the damaged aircraft back to England and held it steady so his crew

members could bail out while he flew the plane over the sea so it couldn’t crash on land where there was the potential of it killing civilians. He was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross (VC) for his bravery, the highest decoration available to the British Empire.

AT 83, Christina Smythe says she’s in that high-risk category when it comes to catching coronavirus, and being severely impacted health-wise, she has taken steps to be super careful. That included signing up for Meals on Wheels. “The first week I was isolated someone did the shopping for me, but it’s not fair on them, they were generous to give their time and do that for me, but I thought I’d better go to Meals on Wheels and look, it’s the best move I ever made. The meals are fantastic, I don’t have to worry about getting the food in, it’s all there,” Mrs Smythe told Dubbo Photo News. “Meals on Wheels enables me to feel less isolated and I’ve got so much to do. It takes the pressure off me and I cannot really understand why people in my age bracket don’t tap into it because it’s a brilliant service.” Before she self-isolated in lockdown she went to Woolbroker Don Chad and got a fleece so she could keep herself busy – she says she didn’t want to just sit at home and be bored to tears, so she’s spinning away and has nearly finished the fleece. Another way Mrs Smythe passes the time is by keeping up with what’s happening in the community. She says, with so much heartbreak and sorrow in the world, she always looks forward to reading Dubbo Photo News and its a weekly instalment of positive community information.

Christina Smythe says getting the latest Dubbo Photo News with her Meal on Wheels is icing on the cake. She’s pictured with Meals on Wheels Dubbo service manager Peter English. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/JOHN RYAN

“Before we were told we had to stay in our homes, I used to go downtown just to get Photo News because it gives you everything that’s going on and it keeps you sane I think.” So she was pleased to learn that Meals on Wheels can deliver a copy of Dubbo Photo News as well. “Now, I really enjoy getting it delivered with my meals, I’d hate to miss out on it. When it was first delivered with my meal I was so thrilled,” she said. Meals on Wheels Dubbo service manager Peter Eng-

lish said while the drivers are out and about, it’s great the organisation can deliver such good cheer into the homes when they drop off the meals. “It’s great to have something as positive as the Photo News, the comments from our clients are things like, ‘Oh, I’ve got the TV guide!’ For many elderly, they need just the basic things as many of them don’t know how to operate TV menus from their remotes to figure out how that works. “They also enjoy the crosswords and all the things that

make Dubbo Photo News a positive thing,” Mr English said. “The front page is always a positive article and that’s the thing, it’s about fun, it’s about community spirit-building and not having bad news on the front page, and that’s the success behind it. “We’ve been delivering Dubbo Photo News to our clients all this year and they’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and they look forward to it – and lo and behold if I don’t have the Photo News on a Thursday!” he said.

No ANZAC service for town

By NATALIE LEWIS THERE will be no bugler to play The Last Post, no hymns sung and no words spoken to commemorate the fallen as Wellington’s ANZAC Day service becomes the latest victim of the COVID-19 pandemic gripping the world. Silence will prevail in Cameron Park this Saturday and RSL SubBranch former president Peter Dowell said staying away from the town’s Cenotaph will be the greatest mark of respect anyone can show our returned servicemen and women. “They deserve some recognition, but they will get it more by not turning up,” he said. “It’s more important.” With many of our war veterans counted among the most vulnerable in the community due to their age, organisers of the annual street march and service decided to cancel this year’s event. “All the members of the RSL are quite prepared to go along with it,” Mr Dowell said. “Most of us aren’t going near the Cenotaph.” A retired naval officer who rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, Mr Dowell explained that the RSL sub-branch has also cancelled all meetings in the foreseeable future. “I’ve been a member since 1986,

after serving 25 years in the Navy.” While there is some sadness among members about not being able to attend the annual ANZAC service, Mr Dowell believes there is long-term benefit to be gained from short-term sacrifice. “Everyone is disappointed but it’s for the greater good,” he said. “It’s what’s good for Wellington at the moment. Anyone that doesn’t think that is thinking short-term.” Veteran Noel Grimes, who served in the Vietnam War and was at the Battle of Long Tan, is also taking the news in his stride. As an active member of the community, Mr Grimes is involved in the local Garden Club, Wellington Amateur Theatrical Society and the Show Society. But all of those memberships are on hold at the moment with organisations around town in lockdown mode. Mr Grimes also sings the hymns at the annual ANZAC Day service and is sad not to be attending this year. “I won’t need to practice,” he said of the cancelled event. “I will just have a nice quiet day.” “There is absolutely nothing happening here and it has to not happen. So many of us vets are in that vulnerable group. So for that reason, I am very okay with it. All the stuff I do has been cancelled. “It had to happen.”

ANZAC DAY - Saturday, 25 April 2020 As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government has made the difficult decision to cancel public gatherings, which will include this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anzac Day services and marches. These temporary changes to the way in which we would normally go about Anzac Day do not mean that we cannot remember our service men and women, and indeed, I would encourage each and every one of you to think of simple ways that you can reďŹ&#x201A;ect and acknowledge this important day in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar. I would certainly encourage everyone to pause at 11:30am for one minuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silence to commemorate the landing of our troops at Gallipoli 105 years ago. This sends a clear message that, despite the hardships we are facing, we continue to respect our servicemen and women. You may also like to consider the Light Up the Dawn initiative that the RSL is championing this year, in the place of the traditional dawn service. Find out more via rslanzacspirit.com.au.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

The wheels of federal government roll on despite the COVID-19 pandemic By JOHN RYAN FLYING Doctor crews and staff have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and so have welcomed this week’s $52.8 million funding boost from the commonwealth government. Greg Sam heads up the south east section for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and said the organisation had been keeping up with all its regular work, but said flying victims of the pandemic, and even those suspected of potentially having contracted the virus, has upped the workload immensely. “It’s impacted the service in a number of ways but, fundamentally as an emergency service, the time-frame from which we need to mobilise our aircraft and our crews, and to be able to turn around those aircraft in between transportation or retrievals of passengers, has increased significantly,” Mr Sam told Dubbo Photo News. “We literally have to decontaminate aircraft and the transportation in-between the aircraft for every passenger.” Added to that, the tight space in the aircraft fuselage requires heightened protective measures to ensure the safety of patients and aircraft crew. “All of that requires time, preparation but – importantly – equipment,” he said, pointing out that additional time means far more hours of labour is needed to complete formerly straightforward tasks. Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said this latest investment will build capacity for some of the most isolated and disadvantaged communities in rural and regional Australia. “This package will increase the capacity to evacuate early COVID-19 cases in remote areas and enable a more effective response if an

Acting in his capacity as federal regional health minister, Parkes MP Mark Coulton this week announced a $52.8 million aeromedical retrieval package to support rural and remote communities during the COVID-19 health emergency. He made the announcement at the Dubbo Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Base with RFDS South Eastern Section CEO Greg Sam. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/JOHN RYAN

outbreak occurs,” Mr Coulton said. “COVID-19 is affecting every Australian, no matter where they live, and we’re putting in place measures that will support regional Australians to get through this pandemic. “This package will boost the ability to provide medical evacuations for patients in remote and rural areas across Australia by up to

50 per cent,” he added. Of the $52.8 million, funding is provided for the RFDS to help: z Evacuate initial COVID-19 cases; z Evacuate suspected COVID-19 cases; z Deliver fly-in General Practitioner Respiratory Clinics, including testing, for a broader outbreak; and

z Pre-position and replenish personal protective equipment for frontline medical staff. RFDS Federation Executive Director Frank Quinlan said the additional funding from the Australian Government is an important injection to enhance rural and remote retrieval and response capability. “This funding will assist us in our preparedness. It gives coun-

try Australians confidence and assurance that they are cared for through this pandemic – and the RFDS is ready,” Mr Quinlan said. “Our support for rural, regional and remote communities is about minimising the likelihood of exposure to COVID-19 while increasing the capacity to evacuate early cases and provide a rapid response should an outbreak occur.”

Coulton announces new mobile towers, as corona-crisis puts strain on telco capacity SINCE entering federal politics, Mark Coulton’s days have always been long. But thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic his various ministries have seen him getting out of bed at about 4am just to ensure he can stay on top of events which are moving with incredible speed. Two of his portfolios, rural health and rural communications, are in the frontline when it comes to the commonwealth response to the current emergency. He’s seen ﬁrst-hand how important communications are in the bush, and now he says having equitable mobile Left: Regional communications minister Mark Coulton

phone service and adequate digital data pipelines is more vital than ever before. This week he announced that Round 5 of the Mobile Blackspots Program will deliver 182 new base stations to further connect rural communities. “That’s about 1200 towers that have been funded since we’ve come into government,” Mr Coulton said. “Sky Muster (the satellite internet service) has come up with an extra 45 gigs of data on top of their normal allowance. “I’ve been operating as a government minister from my home now for four weeks hosting teleconferences – I hosted a conference last week with 180 rural doctors

from around Australia. All my voice calls are going through the satellite service, all my data is going through the satellite service, so I think it’s holding up well.” He says the glaring problem that’s been showing up thanks to the current crisis is overload congestion on the phone network. Mr Coulton says people who are getting data packages via the phone network in many cases can’t access what they’re paying for. “The telcos I think are going to need to look at their capacity – if they’re going to sign up customers to a data package on a mobile phone network they need to be able to deliver that package,” Mr Coulton said.

“I think that’s been the Achilles heel during this Coronavirus, people have been relying on the phone network. “I am a little bit concerned coming up in the next six to eight weeks as the winter crop sowing gets into full swing, when people are working from home, kids doing their homework, and people doing university degrees, are all competing with tractors going up and down and agronomists in the paddock, and that increase in activity that we’re going to see right across my electorate,” he said. He believes most people are largely managing and that, while it hasn’t been a communications disaster,

he says there have deﬁnitely been some weaknesses showing up. “I think this has shown up the weaknesses in the system,” he said. “Some of the farms in my electorate might employ 100 people but are a long way from town and they are multi-million dollar businesses. “One of the things we’ll be looking at is how we can increase not only the data, but also voice capability across the more remote parts of regional Australia where large businesses and individuals rely on that communication as much as their counterparts in the more urban areas – I think what we’re seeing now is going to be very good information.”

Dubbo Photo News April 23-29, 2020

NEWS EXTRA Dubbo connection to Indigenous VC winner DUBBO has a connection to the nation’s only Indigenous Victoria Cross winner, Bill Newton, with a recently built RSL nursing home in West Dubbo named after the famous ANZAC. Adam Joseph, Bill’s great-nephew, tells his story. WHEN World War One seemed imminent, the Governor General of Australia, Lord Dudley, received a telegram warning him. That message found him dining at the stately home of Dame Eadith Walker, the “Yaralla” Estate on the banks of the Parramatta River. The irony in this will not be lost on Aboriginal people living from the Riverina to the Western Plains of NSW. Yaralla is a Wiradjuri word which means “peace”. When soldiers came back from The Great War, they were cared for by immediate family. Those who had none camped on the grounds at Yaralla. A tent city sprang up full of those suffering the effect of mustard gas, burns, shellshock. and so on. The scale so moved Dame Eadith that she decided to bequeath “Yaralla” to the people of NSW, on condition that the government build a

hospital there. Work began at the end of World War I, and by the time it was completed, and named the Concord War Repatriation Hospital, the Second World War had begun. This is the place my grandparents met on the night my grandfather was wheeled into the operating room, his chest full of shrapnel and his arm hanging on by shreds of skin and sinew, and a blood vessel. She was a nurse at Concord, and he an army intelligence soldier. She convinced the surgeon on duty that the right arm of Jack Miller could be saved. So began a love affair and a lifetime tending for a man whose emotional scars ran unfathomably deep. When he left for war, he confided in his half brother, Bill Newton, that he was not his uncle, he was his brother, born out of wedlock to their mother, Minnie Miller. One of the reasons my grandfather drank so heavily was to dull the pain of losing his only brother. When Jack left for war, Bill enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force. He flew Boston Bombers against the Japanese in Papua New Guinea. By the time he took off on

his final sortie, his citation for a Victoria Cross (VC) was already being prepared. On a typical mission, he flew extremely close to the ground to ensure his bombs met their targets. He was a member of the Victorian second eleven cricket team who wore his baggy blue cap on bombing missions. The Japanese knew him by sight and called him, variously; “Blue Cap” or “Black Jesus”. On his final flight, his aircraft sustained too much damage and was forced to ditch in the sea. His wireless air operator/gunner Basil Eastwood died on impact. Bill Newton and co-pilot John Lyon managed to free themselves from their plane as it sank. They were last seen by fellow Australians swimming towards the shore. Tragically, both were captured by the Japanese

Imperial Army. John Lyon was forced to dig his own grave before being bayonetted, and presumed buried alive. Bill Newton was tortured for eleven days, and made to kneel in front of a bomb crater he had caused. When asked if he had any final requests, he replied it was to be beheaded with only one stroke of the sword. This so enraged his captor, who demonstrated his swordsmanship was up to the challenge. The final moments of Bill Newton VC were only made known through the diary notes of a Japanese soldier, translated into English at the war’s end. Two years ago, the two halves of our family met for the first time, at the Richmond RAAF base in Windsor. The Newtons of Melbourne had heard rumours that Minnie had a son out of

wedlock, and at our attendance at the 75th anniversary of uncle Bill’s execution we were able to confirm this as fact. When the ceremony began, a lone wedge-tailed eagle appeared in the sky above. It circled for the duration of the ceremony and vanished the moment the ceremony concluded. The wedge-tailed Eagle, or Ngana in Wiradjuri, is a powerful symbol in Aboriginal lore. It is also the totem of the land on which our capital was built, Canberra. And, of course it is also the symbol of the RAAF. After the ceremony concluded I shared a meal with Sally and Nick Newton, my cousins, the first of several. Getting to know one another I explained several Aboriginal cultural heritage projects I was working on, including saving Ben-

nelong’s grave from property developers. That land, where Bennelong Park in Putney is today, sits directly across the water from what’s now known as the Concord General Hospital. Part of what motivated me to save that land from property developers was knowing it was the place where my grandfather would sneak men, by barge, across the Parramatta River in the dead of night to drink, gamble, fraternise with ladies of ill repute, and generally remember that life is for living. Much as James Squire had done for Bennelong and his Kissing Point Tribe from the late 1790s. By the time we achieved victory in our campaign to save the grave site of Bennelong, Boorong and Nanbarry, I had learned to my surprise that I have no Aboriginal DNA. Explaining that to the Newtons, they informed me that Bill Newton did have Aboriginal ancestry, through his father Charles Ellis Newton. Sunday, March 29, 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the execution of Bill Newton VC. It was solemnly observed by many, and, I expect, by many more than usual this year since it is now on the public record that Bill Newton is the sole Victoria Cross Recipient of Australian Aboriginal ancestry.

The cruise of a COVID-19 lifetime A Dubbo couple who arrived back in Sydney on a cruise ship just one day before the Ruby Princess was controversially allowed to unload its passengers has told Dubbo Photo News the health checks were almost non-existent as they disembarked. The Ruby Princess debacle, which saw many people infected with COVID-19 spread out into the wider community, resulted in a war of words between the state and federal governments. That incident is now the subject of a criminal investigation by NSW Police Strike Force Bast. JOHN RYAN reports. KYLIE and Ian Taylor were married on February 29 at Dubbo’s Holy Trinity church, not long before the COVID-19 restrictions on social gatherings came into play. “We were so lucky to have our family and friends present for our wedding,” Kylie told Dubbo Photo News. “Our families had travelled from far north Queensland, the central coast, Sydney etc and our wedding party alone was a group of 10 people. I would hate to have had to pick only five to attend – I would be absolutely heart-broken. “It was hard enough not having my father there, he’s deceased, and if it was now I think I would postpone the wedding like thousands of other people have had to,” she said, referring to the restrictions on public gatherings brought in to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. They’d booked a trip of a lifetime honeymoon cruise, sailing into the storm of a global pandemic. The Voyager of the Seas left the port of Sydney on March 7. Just

days before, the booking agent had emailed and called to let the couple know that some of the destination ports had closed. “We were already in Sydney, we were not impressed, but what could we do,” Kylie said. “I was very excited as this was the first time both of us were to go on a cruise and we wanted to enjoy our honeymoon.” On arrival they were given a health questionnaire and declaration form to fill out, they showed their passports and had their temperature taken by Border Force personnel before being allowed to board the cruise liner. Kylie said the cruise ship was incredibly clean with hand sanitiser stations everywhere. “When going into certain areas there was a wash basin and a crew member reminding passengers to wash their hands before entering – if you didn’t, you weren’t allowed in,” she said. With some ports closed the cruise liner only visited two of the original destinations. Mystery Island for two days was the first stop. “It’s an absolutely beautiful place, the locals were absolutely amazing; beautiful crystal blue oceans, sand on the beach you could walk on without it sticking to your feet,” Kylee recalled. “The other port was Noumea where we went to the markets and the aquarium, the water there was beautiful but we didn’t get to go to the other ports because of the threat of coronavirus.” After leaving Noumea, the next five days were spent sailing back to Australian waters and included time spent sailing back and forth off Sydney and Newcastle, coming into harbour for a medical emergency.

“We were told that one passenger was sick and another had heart problems, then we went back out to sea,” Kylee said. “Getting near the end of the cruise there were a lot of rumours going around and we just wanted to know what was going on – some staff would say we are still going on the schedule, other staff members said they weren’t sure because the captain was waiting on our government for answers. “I think the hardest part of the cruise was five days on the ship with no land. The upper deck where the pool was, with the slide and the basketball court, was closed off for two days because of the weather,” she said. More uncertainty followed with many passengers concerned they wouldn’t be allowed to disembark in their home country, and that they could be condemned to circling out at sea for an indefinite period. Kylee said when they finally did arrive at Sydney Harbour everyone couldn’t wait to get of the ship. As passengers waited to disembark, paperwork was placed inside their cabin doors with instructions, and the captain made an announcement saying that if anyone had a temperature or wasn’t feeling well, they needed to see a crew member. “As we left the ship the crew’s security officers marked off our sea passes and we proceeded to disembark and a lady was there handing out fact sheets. There were no gloves or masks,” Kylee said. “As we got to the bottom to collect our bags there were workers with no gloves or masks, no hand sanitiser, nothing – as we waited for our bags a couple of work-

ers got into trouble for not having gloves on. “It was harder to get on the ship. “There were no temperature checks coming off. I had my declaration card and passport out, but I was told that we didn’t need our passports. I hadn’t filled out all the questions on the card and I wasn’t asked about the question I had left blank,” she said. The couple was directed to Customs where Kylee told them she had wood in her bag, and also declared 25 cigarettes. “I opened my suitcase to get the wood out, the officer only had gloves on, he looked at the wood and I was allowed to leave.” The Taylors caught a taxi to the motel they’d booked and Kylee said no one seemed to be worried, taxi drivers didn’t have masks or gloves on, and after booking in and then walking down the street to get some food, the couple began to think the situation wasn’t as bad as the TV news had portrayed it. The next day they went to Sydney Airport and got some lunch at Hungry Jacks while waiting for their plane. “There were three ladies sitting behind us that had just gotten off

the Ruby Princess so we got talking about the way we got off the ships and they were saying the same thing,” Kylee said. “They were surprised that it was so easy to get off the ship and that there was no illness on their ship or ours that we knew off – we were all dumbfounded by how easy it was to get off. “A few days later I heard about the Ruby Princess I am so thankful we weren’t on that ship, but I was worried what if I got something off those ladies,” she said. The newly married couple spent 14 days in isolation and are thankful family and friends were able to drop off food and other necessities, with the major supermarkets not doing deliveries. Earlier this month they finally received a welfare call to check how they were going. “I strongly believe there was not enough communication between everyone involved,” Kylee said. “Information was changing rapidly and getting to people too late. “There was not enough communication on the boats, to staff and passengers on the ship or even when we got back to dry land,” she said.

Should Australia bring back death duties? The Editor, In response to massive job losses and extraordinarily difficult business prospects brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Australian governments, both Federal and State, should be applauded for the financial support packages they have introduced. Like many, I wonder how the enormous cost of these measures is going to be paid for in the longer term? It would seem to me that, to simply allow debts to transfer on to future generations of Australians would be selfish. But, having said that, to increase taxes or other sources of government revenue in the short term may be almost unsustainable. Professor Robert Bruenig of the Australian National University Tax Institute suggests that several measures should be introduced. These are: 1. An increase in the GST rate. 2. A switch from stamp duty on property transfers to a land tax. 3. Capital Gains Tax on all assets. 4. Removal of the exemption of the family home from the Assets Test applied for aged pension eligibility. I agree with all of these measures but would add an extra one and that is the reintroduction of death duties.

ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection

IF it hadn’t impacted before, the current COVID-19 virus has brought the influence of China on the world to the most dominant level. Last week’s Dubbo Photo News included an article on the Wuhan physician Dr Li Wenliang who, as a Master of Medicine, revealed the virus on December 12 last year. Had the central authority recognised this serious report, the impact on the world’s population could have been far less. Anne-Marie Brady has written a text on how propaganda and thought works in contemporary China, entitled “Marketing Dictatorship”. It is a serious study of China’s Central Propaganda Department, and how since 1989 the Chinese Communist Party has renewed, extended and strengthened its propaganda apparatus. When we relate this to the current epidemic and then the continuing growth of Chinese ownership of real estate and businesses around the world, there are grounds for real concerns of that dictatorship taking over the world. Many in the farming commu-

Financial hardship does not apply to people after they have passed on and the only casualties of death duties would be those standing to inherit assets. I can hear the screams from selfish people who would oppose this along the lines ‘I have worked hard all my life and want my children to inherit the fruits of my labour.’ But even if their inheritance is trimmed back a bit with death duties, they are still better off than many others who inherit virtually nothing. And we hear of plenty of examples of people making a success of life after starting with nothing. My challenge to those opposing death duties is this – how would you pay for the current assistance packages without transferring this cost onto future generations? Name withheld by request, Dubbo

In rebuilding, don’t forget the land we build it on The Editor, A couple of months ago, it would have been almost unfathomable to imagine the world could get to where it is now in such a short timeframe. As an Australian, I am proud to see our Prime Minister and state Premiers work together productively and co-operatively,

across party lines, and I hope we can emerge on “the other side” as a more cohesive Australian populous. At some point, we will be able to roll back currently essential restrictions and begin to assist hundreds of thousands of unemployed Australians back to work. And, if we are prepared to think big and be bold, we can use this moment of national renewal to build a lasting legacy for the land our nation is built on. During the Great Depression, governments in Australia and the USA set up large scale employment programs in conservation and land management which have had enduring benefits. Imagine if tourism operators,

tradies, retail workers – amongst others who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own – were given a lifeline with safe, meaningful and socially beneficial work, which can leave enduring benefits, especially in rural and remote Australia, for the environment, tourism and farm businesses? In this spirit, more than 70 farming, conservation and land management organisations across the country including Landcare, the National Farmers Federation and the Australian Land Conservation Alliance (who collectively work with and represent many hundreds of thousands of Australians), recently wrote to the Prime Minister and all state Premiers

proposing a $4 billion economic stimulus package in the conservation and land management sector. This proposal is designed to provide jobs to 24,000 workers at its peak, providing practical restoration responses across Australia through weed and pest control, river restoration and bushfire recovery and resilience. These jobs would have significant economic multipliers, especially in regional communities, with work generated for local suppliers and hospitality businesses. We now want to be part of the ‘bridge to recovery’ from this crisis and are asking governments to work with us. Who’s with me? Doug Humann Chair, Landcare Australia

Revealing the influence of China nity know of the USA publisher Acres USA, and in particular Charles Walters who was author and joint owner of the business. From our shelves is “Unforgiven” which deals with the “American economic system sold for debt and war”. It was originally published in 1971 and updated in 2003. This book originated when Walters was researching the US economy with Carl Wilken and others. The text explores the increasing wealth gap, a crumbling internal economy, human and economic harm inflicted upon our trading partners, millions of family farmers driven from their land, and small privately owned businesses becoming extinct – the effect ultimately leaving millions of Americans either directly or indirectly dependent on government handouts. Economist Wilken feared the concentration of power “in a few strong hands” as being the deadliest enemy of a free society, and saw the demise of independent enterprise and the family farm as the final curtain for the most dramatic experiment in history. The revised edition includes the more recent views detailing the causes and effects of our continuing and urban decay, but also providing a way to stop it – the production of an economy operating in tune with the laws of physics.

How can the countries comprising “The West” – and the USA in particular – respond to the rising of China? Hugh White has written on the implications of the future security and prosperity of the West as a whole, and in his book “The China Choice” he confronts this situation, considering the options for the Asian Century ahead. If China’s economy grows to become the world’s largest, the US has three choices: it can compete, share power, or concede leadership to Asia. If the USA does not find itself facing China as an enemy, it must accept it as an equal partner. In a study of China’s influence on Australia, Clive Hamilton has written “Silent Invasion”. He writes on various levels; one being how a wealthy Chinese businessman linked to their Communist Party became one of the largest donors to both of Australia’s major political parties. As he investigated the Chinese government’s influence here, he found compelling evidence of their sophisticated influence operations that target our elites, limit academic freedom, intimidate critics, collect information for their intelli-

gence agencies and protest in the streets against Australian government policy. Regularly we read in the press about the acquisition by a Chinese entity of Australian real estate, including rural properties. And the number of Chinese students attending our universities is the major contribution of revenue for those institutions’ operations. Australian author Peter Hartcher has written “The Sweet Spot” which the publishers consider can change the way you think about our country. We are said to have the best living conditions, and Hartcher takes us on a review of our history and politics, how we started as a convict colony and could have become a banana republic, and how we have come through various global crises. It is not a perfect success story. The book “Collapse” by Jared Diamond has a subtitle “How societies choose to fail or survive”. Whilst there is an emphasis on northern hemisphere countries, there is a full chapter on Australia. The issues discussed include soils, water, distance, imported values, trade and immigration, env ironmental

problems, and concluding with comments on hope and change. Mining is seen as a major subject for Australia, being the key to the country’s economy. As a mining export source we are seen as unusual – most other major export sources are not First World countries. Countries such as Rwanda, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and China don’t have the widespread standards of living that Australia enjoys. On page 379 he raises an interesting issue. “Australians are beginning to think radically about the central question: which of our traditional core values can we retain, and which ones instead no longer serve as well in today’s world?” How we as individuals can handle such a tough experience is explained in Michael McQueen’s book “How to Prepare for What’s Next”. It is a guide to thriving in an age of disruption – on the back cover it quotes, “Disruption looms large on the horizon and no organisation, institution or individual will be immune.” (And the book was published in 2018). It discusses how to survive the storm and stay ahead. There are a number or trends and disruptions that he examines along with a proven game plan for surviving and thriving in turbulent times.

A lockdown anniversary

Thumbs Up and a very grateful thankyou to Meals on Wheels and Dubbo Area Nursing Service (DANS). They always give caring assistance and are continuing to do so during this time of isolation. This eases the worry and stress caused by people conﬁned to their homes. They are heroes for giving this comfort to their clients in this time of uncertainty and they all deserve a medal for working under very difficult conditions.

Thumbs Up to my family who surprised me on Easter by driving past with balloons and streamers in their cars to say Happy Easter from a safe distance. I have been in lockdown for over three weeks and haven’t been able to have visitors, so it was a lovely surprise. Thank you so much to my lovely family.

Thumbs Up and many thanks to Tim, and all your staff, for the wonderful weekly Dubbo Photo News keeping our special Dubbo community informed of so much important information. What a gem!

Thumbs Up to St Mary’s Villa for putting iPads in the Villa for the residents to use to keep in touch with their families. It is a wonderful idea and means so much for all the residents to be able to see their loved ones. A big thank you to all the staff.

Thumbs Down to the bicycle riders using the footpath on the southern end of Macquarie Street. I realise with the COVID-19 it is great for families to be out on their bikes but please remember the footpath is for people to walk on not for bike riders. (A note from DPN: In NSW children under 16 can ride on footpaths unless there is a ‘no bicycles’ sign. Riders must keep left and ride to suit the environment.)

Thumbs Down to people who do not stop their dogs from barking. It’s most unfair to the people who live nearby, stop being so selﬁsh and do something about it.

The couple got dressed up to the nines and were met by granddaughter Matilda Stockings who played waitress, showing them to their table for two, decorated with candles and grandma’s silver cutlery.

Karen Stockings told Dubbo Photo News, “I still wanted to recognise their anniversary as I think 40 years deserves a celebration… we have always recognised significant birthdays and anniversaries in our family. I also wanted to create a special night for them to remember and as a gift for being such wonderful and supportive parents.”

These pictures by Dubbo Photo News photographer Colin Rouse were taken on the outskirts of Wellington towards Yeoval and illustrate just how much recycling, re-using and rebuilding we don’t do in today’s society. The piano, the car and the old house, were all brand new once and someone’s pride and joy, all now either destroyed or deteriorating beyond repair.

Out of tune with it’s surroundings: The remains of this old piano could no doubt share some happy memories.

What’s left of this old house is riding out the new normal as if nothing had happened. Putting a smiley on your face (right): Scott and Penny MacDougall have done plenty over the years to brighten the faces of Trangie locals. Through droughts and ﬂoods the energetic couple have worked to make the town a better place. The COVID-19 crisis prompted them to make their business façade a beacon of hope for anyone driving past, attaching a giant smiley face to the brickwork. “I hope I supply a few smiles with the addition of our smiley,” Mr MacDougall told Dubbo Photo News.

Contributor ShawnJoseph Conway sent in this photo. He found the giant moths on his back door one morning.

A polish and shine and this abandoned car could be worth not much more than it currently is.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the ﬁgures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION STRANGE BUT TRUE z Humans are the only primates without pigment in the palms of their hands. z American alligator blood contains a serum that is so effective at combating bacteria and viruses, even alligators that lose limbs in mucky swamps often avoid infection. z Irish author James Joyce was a great fan of Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen’s plays. How great? He learned basic Norwegian just to send Ibsen a fan letter. z China has the largest population of smokers in the world – 316 million people – accounting for nearly one-third of the world’s smokers and 40 per cent of tobacco consumption worldwide. But just more than 2 per cent of Chinese women smoke, compared with more than

half of all Chinese men. z The term “deadline” dates to the American Civil War. Lines in the dirt would be drawn around prisoners. If they crossed one, they would be executed by their guards. Not surprisingly, both prisoners and guards soon took to calling such a line the “deadline”. z Philematology is the scientiﬁc study of kissing. z Research has shown that men who kiss their wives goodbye live about ﬁve years longer, make up to 30 per cent more money and are involved in fewer car accidents than those who don’t. z As if that weren’t enough, kissing even helps keep your teeth healthy, by causing an increase in saliva, which helps wash away plaque. Thought for the Day: “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot

live without and know we cannot live within.” – James Arthur Baldwin

NOW HERE’S A TIP z When choosing personal care products, apply the same eco standards as you do with food. Check the ingredients list to ﬁnd safe products. Go for products that are free of dyes and perfumes. When possible, choose products that use the least packaging. z Have a bright ﬂashlight handy in the laundry room. It’s much easier to identify stains with the right lighting. Sending a still-stained garment to the dryer can set the stain, making it much harder or impossible to remove. z Three easy steps to sear your meat: Preheat the skillet, wait 30 seconds before you add oil and pat

your meat dry before placing in the skillet. z “I use a paperclip covered by tissue to clean the cracks on my keyboard.” – I.P. z If you leave a load of laundry too long in the washer, you can re-run it and add a cup of white vinegar to the load to kill the musty smell of potential mildew. z “I make my own little good-behaviour coupons for my three children. I print them on different colours of paper for each child. They can cash in coupons for activities or rewards, and if they go in together to get something, I will give them bonus coupons for working together. I think this has made goalsetting a priority for them, and it has helped them learn the lesson of shared goals – an important one for a large family.” – R.V.F.

MEL POCKNALL

ANZAC DAY 2020

Memoirs of a local ANZAC sporting legend By GEOFF MANN JUST over a hundred years ago, the world turned upside down when men from Australia, New Zealand and all parts of the world volunteered to go to the aid of Mother England. Neil Hives was one such bloke, an outstanding sportsman and citizen who put aside injuries to offer his services. He represented NSW Rugby Union as halfback against Queensland in 1905 while playing with the Dubbo Kangaroos. A paragraph in a local newspaper at the time captured the standing of the young man in March 1904. The many friends of our popular young townsman, Mr. Neil Hives, will regret to learn that he had been obliged to relinquish duties and medical attention for an ailment to his back. For some time past Mr. Hives has been troubled with his back, which has been a hindrance to him in the following-up of sport, of which he is an ardent devotee and one of our leading lights. ••• In a series of letters home, Neil wrote: I was on draft for France last Wednesday, but one of the chaps in the hut contracted mumps, and the rest of us have to undergo isolation for three weeks. However, I suppose a person will get over in time to take a hand against Fritz in the big offensive that all the English papers say he is contemplating. I was in France from December 23rd, 1916, to October 4th, 1917, and I can assure you I endured a very strenuous nine months. I was wounded near Ypres on September 26th, but luckily the wound was not a severe one, although it gave me a great deal of pain at the time. I was in all the Somme battles last year, including Bapaume and Bullecourt. The latter was a very hot engagement, and our list of casualties was a very heavy one; but I am pleased to say we generally manage to beat Fritz and give him more than he bargains for. The weather conditions during the winter months were simply atrocious, and any words of mine could not possibly give you an adequate idea of what one had to encounter. It is not a very envious job to be on sentry duty on a cold night in the trenches. Each soldier does two hours’ duty, usually up to his knees in water, and with the snow and rain cutting through every part of his body. To make matters worse, he is liable to be knocked out at any minutes by a shell or machine-gun fire, and always has to be on the qui vive for a hop over from the enemy. At Bullecourt the Germans came over at us. I cannot tell you how many of them there were but to me there appeared to be thousands facing our sector.

We beat them back successfully, and inflicted great losses on them. It was very exciting while it lasted. To give you some idea of how rapid our rifle fire was, the bolt of three different rifles became useless to me, on account of getting so extremely hot and refusing to work. After such an engagement one has to go through a very painful ordeal in collecting the dead bodies of his comrades and burying same. One never knows when it is going to be his turn next, and gets so accustomed to it that each and every one soon comes to look at things very philosophically. Whilst on the Somme the Australians were usually employed holding the line, but as soon as we were removed to Belgium, early in September, our duties were of a much more dangerous character. We had to advance and take the German defences, which in this region mainly consisted of pill-boxes, or in other words, fortifications made of reinforced concrete, the walls of which were usually two feet thick. Each box would hold between 30 and 40 Germans, armed with machine guns, and were very formidable obstacles to overcome. ••• The Dubbo sporting community welcomed Neil Hives home in March 1919 with a thoroughness that impressed itself upon newspaper reports of the time, such as this one: When the sports of Dubbo undertake to do anything they do it with a thoroughness that impresses beholders, and there is no fuss about the doing of it. The “welcome home” to Corporal Neil Hives at the Empire Hall on Tuesday night illustrated their capacity for social organisation splendidly. A small advertisement in the papers, and a species of bush-telegraphy, and at 8 o’clock the Empire Hall was packed with sporting friends and admirers of Corporal Hives. It was not in any sense of the word a public welcome – just a gathering of friends. It was remarkable for three things – the spontaneousness of the gathering, the rapidity and

businesslike way in which the function was managed and the blessed brevity of the speeches. The proceedings opened with the national toast. The Chairman stated that the function was not a public reception in any way. He wanted to specially emphasise that point. (applause). It was a personal welcome extended to Corporal Neil Hives by his friends and the sports of Dubbo, who admired Neil for his sportsmanship, and desired to acknowledge their gratitude to him for that, as well as their admiration for the way in which he had rallied to his duty during the war (Cheers). Music and song took the place of speeches, and the interest in the function never flagged. The three long tables had been beautifully decorated by Mrs. and Miss Gartrell and their assistants, and was a perfect Garden of Eden, which made Mr. McManamey regret that there were not some Eves there! There was a profusion of dahlias and roses in many charming varieties, and in their midst were thrust miniature Union Jacks and Australian flags, and Corporal Hives’ battalion colors. There was a plentiful supply of refreshments, both liquid and solid, Mr. E. Gartrell being the caterer.

` Neil Hives had played at Bathurst against the greatest English Eleven who had ever visited Australia. Neil and his brothers had spent their time and their money to promote clean manly sport. As a cricketer he was a man who could make his hundred any day. They were all pleased and glad to see him again after his great sacriﬁces in the trenches, in mud and slush and cold, amidst ﬂying shell and shot. a – Mr Harry Utley

Mr. Harry Utley, J.P., presided, having on his right the guest of the evening and returned soldiers T. Christian and Burke. At the top table also sat Dr. Burkitt, Aldermen McManamey and Palmer, Mr. J. W. Sillar, and other well known commercial and business men were scattered about the other tables. There were visitors present from Rawsonville, Geurie, Wongarbon, Brocklehurst, and from other centres 20 and 30 miles out. Mr. Wood’s Orchestra (Messrs. A. E.Wood, H. Emmett, F. Alderman and B.Wenban) contributed a couple of splendidly rendered selections, and were warmly applauded, an encore being insisted on. Mr. H. Bradley sang “Back Home” in great style, and was loudly applauded. Mr. Leonard accompanied. Mr. E. J. Gox’s fine voice was heard to advantage in “The Death of Nelson,” and he was encored. The principal toast, that of “Our Guest,” was in the hands of the Chairman who said it was difficult to find words to express his pleasure at seeing their guest, Corporal Neil Hives, home once again safe and sound. (Cheers). He had known Neil from infancy, through his school days and on to manhood, and he had always been a sport. Mr. Utley then referred to Corporal Hives’ career as a cricketer and footballer. Neil Hives had played at Bathurst against the greatest English Eleven who had ever visited Australia. Neil and his brothers had spent their time and their money to promote clean manly sport. As a cricketer he was a man who could make his hundred any day. They were all pleased and glad to see him again after his great sacrifices in the trenches, in mud and slush and cold, amidst flying shell and shot. (Cheers). Everybody was glad to see Neil back. ••• Corporal Hives, on rising to respond to the toast, received an ovation, as the report continued: He thanked the Chairman and the various speakers for their kindness, and the gathering generally for the warm reception of the toast.

He merely did his duty in going to the front. He was pleased that the function that night was promoted by the sports of Dubbo and his personal friends. Neil thought that every returned soldier should receive a welcome home (Cheers). In the trenches one man was as good as another, officers and privates. Dubbo should be proud of the boys she had sent away (cheers). Brigadier-General Heane was a great soldier, and although he had not seen him, others of the lads had, and they declared he treated them as men (Cheers). He was glad to see Dr.Burkitt back amongst them. He had done good work at the front, and they should be proud of him (Cheers). There were other Dubbo soldiers who had made good – Lieuts. Palmer, Patman, Sillar and others. They had developed into good men, and were loved by their men. He assumed from the crowd present that his efforts to promote sport in Dubbo were appreciated. (Loud cheers). He recommended sport to all. He had captained one of the teams in England, and visited Cardiff and Swansea, in Wales, where they played the best football in the world. He had also visited Cambridge. But he felt that he was getting too old now to take on strenuous games. (Cries of “No, No! “) When he had been asked if he was going to play again he asked: “Is Davy Hearne going to play?” and when the answer was yes, he determined to buck in too. (Loud cheers). Neil thanked them warmly for their presentations. He was not much of a speaker, but he could assure them that if he had failed to say what he meant they could take it from him that it was in his heart (loud cheers). ••• Neil Hives cricketing career blossomed in Burwood. Neil and his family moved to the western suburbs of Sydney shortly after the war. By 1924, the stylish batsman was instrumental in a Burwood team that won four Western Suburbs cricket competitions in succession. The Sydney Sportsman reflected his contribution on April15, 1924 Neil Hives, the old Western cricketer and footballer, has been no mean factor in their victory. His scores for the season are: 20, 20not out. 104, 103 not out, 38, 20, 89 not out, 21 not out, 60 not out,123 not out. Hives’ many Western friends will be pleased to know that he can still make his century, a habit he acquired many years ago on the Dubbo and Orange grounds. Neil is undoubtedly one of the smartest and most versatile sports that the West has produced. ••• A Dubbo boy who excelled in all aspects of life, despite all the challenges thrown at him. Lest we Forget.
