SKY-HIGH PROPOSAL

The view from Matt’s plane as he proposed via radio.

It’s not every day a girl gets asked for her hand in marriage from a bloke flying alongside her in another aeroplane, but that’s how Nat Watt came to say “I do”. Dubbo carpenter Matt Rendell staged the unique proposal on Sunday, teeing up friends Guy and Emma Bowley who flew two light aircraft from Temora to Parkes with the excuse that Matt was getting his mates to give Nat an aerial view of her family’s Alectown farm. “We flew the two planes in tandem and did a few circles above the family farm and while 1000-plus metres up I thought it would be a perfect time to ask Nat to marry me,” Matt told Dubbo Photo News. “And she said yes, while cutting air circles, and yes, we were in different planes.” When the planes had landed Matt went the whole hog, bending his knee on the tarmac at Parkes Airport. “Thank you Natty for coming on this journey with me.” Nat composed a short poem to mark the occasion: High in the sky with a beau-

tiful view Matt just knew what he wanted to do “Natty will you marry me?” is what he said “Of course,” said Nat, “Yes! Now, let’s be wed” The adventures of Matt and Nat will continue. “Thank you to those who have supported us through this time, it means the world to both of us. We are

both very happy as we journey life together,” she said. “Matt Rendell, thank you for all your support and encouragement you have given me so far. “Also thank you for the adventures we have had and the incredible people I have met so far (you know who you are). You are truly an answer to prayer,” Nat said.

ISSUE

Gin Gin Weir debate ﬂowing fast By LYDIA PEDRANA A CAMPAIGN opposing the new $30 million Gin Gin weir has been condemned by the Mayor of Narromine, Craig Davies, who blamed the movement for “demonising” farmers and spreading “straight out untruths”. Launched by Healthy Rivers Dubbo and authorised by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, the campaign titled “Don’t Damn The Macquarie, No New Weir” lists the supposed implications of the proposed weir using newspaper advertisements as well as posters around Dubbo and television and radio ads. The advertisement states the planned re-regulating gated weir and fishway structure will “allow private landholders to suck more water out of the already struggling river” and “back the river up

owns a property called Burrima. “We are trying to conserve the Marsh, we are trying to do the right thing by the ecology out there, but we are doing it in a practical way,” he said. “We are not trying to stop production for farmers or for local economies.” Additionally, Cr Davies said the irrigation industry and the Narromine Shire put between 8000 and 12,000 fingerlings into the water each year, and the proposed weir would have a fish ladder. Earlier this month, Macquarie Marshes grazier John Thornton wrote a letter to Dubbo Photo News which described the weir as “unnecessary and unfair”. “If this weir does proceed, it will again demonstrate what we are doing wrong with how we operate and manage our rivers, by taking the water from the many who ben-

efit from its presence downstream and handing the water to a minority few upstream, while disregarding the environmental and socioeconomic harm throughout a system already in distress,” Mr Thornton wrote. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said all perspectives will be taken into account before the final business case is handed over later in the year. “WaterNSW is holding further consultation in August 2020, with a variety of groups involved, in an effort to ensure everyone has a chance to have their say on the project,” Mr Saunders said. “Following final business case approval, further engagement activities will be planned, and environment assessments conducted to further inform the finalising of the environmental impact statement due early 2021,” he said.

New car park for Sir Roden Cutler Park in West Dubbo Above: The new truck wash at the Dubbo Regional Livestock Markets enhances the region’s biosecurity. Right: Dubbo Regional Livestock Market manager Ross McCarthy. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

A NEW truck wash facility revealed this week at the Dubbo Regional Livestock Markets (DRLM) will enhance occupational health and safety at what is seen to be one of the riskiest places to work and visit in Dubbo. “We’re probably one of the highest risk workplaces,” Dubbo Regional Livestock Market manager Ross McCarthy told Dubbo Photo News, pointing to “the very nature of sheep and cattle and people and heavy vehicles”. Despite those risks, DRLM won the Chamber of Commerce Work Health and Safety Award in 2017 and Mr McCarthy wants to maintain those high standards. “To obtain that award, we’ve obviously got a lot of systems in place and doing more of the right things than the wrong things. It’s that continuous improvement that we’re always trying to do. The truck wash is just another step in that journey,” Mr McCa-

rthy said. One of the most significant safety features at the new truck wash bays is the fact power lines are no longer overhead. “In our bottom truck wash which we’re still using for bigger and longer trucks, like B-triples and road trains, you’ve (potentially) got someone washing down a truck when they’re too close to power lines, and as trucks get bigger and bigger that’s a problem. “They were originally designed for a semi, so that’s 38 foot in those days. Now, road trains are 38 metres or something like that so they’re hugely different.” Other safety features include LED lighting for a brighter washing environment, better slopes and better water pressure. “That means its quicker for drivers to wash out and get back out on the road. It gives drivers more rest time if they can do a particular aspect of their job quicker and more efficiently,” Mr

McCarthy said. The older truck wash at the facility required drivers to back their trucks out. “That’s a risk whenever you’re backing a truck because you cannot see. Whereas with the new facility you drive in, drive out, so that takes another element of risk out,” he said. Walls in between the bays result in less overspray to help operators and also aid in controlling biosecurity with more weed and disease control. Dubbo Regional Council mayor Ben Shields said the four-bay facility will improve biosecurity by allowing truck drivers to wash their carriers between sales, reducing the risk of trucks carrying diseases like footrot. “The new truck wash has enough bays to allow multiple trucks to pass through in a timely manner, so they can get back on the road. Diseases like footrot can have a devastating effect on our agricultural industry,

and with the DRLM contributing more than $75 million to the agricultural industry, our producers can rest easy knowing that we have some of the best biosecurity measures in the country,” Cr Shields said. The $1.6 million project is jointly funded by Restart NSW and Dubbo Regional Council, with DRC contributing $780,000 for the overall project.

CONSTRUCTION of the new car park at Sir Roden Cutler Park in West Dubbo began this week, providing 44 car spaces including disabled parking. The new car park is a major component of the My Community Grant Project that includes the highly anticipated Ninja Park Warrior Course. Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) supported the application for the My Community Grant Project submitted by Titan Macquarie Mud Run and Club Dubbo. The application was for the installation of an outdoor fitness Ninja Warrior Course and car park complete with a new accessible internal road within Sir Roden Cutler Park. Titan Macquarie Mud Run (TMMR) and Club Dubbo’s submission was successful in securing the maximum $200,000 – as voted by the community via online poll. The My Community Grant added to the contributions from TMMR and Club Dubbo with DRC also contributing $80,000 towards the Ninja Warrior Course construction costs.

Ensuring peace of mind FARM SAFETY WEEK By JOHN RYAN RODNEY Cox owns ‘Making it Happen’ and has spent decades insuring farmers across the region. He’s a firm believer that you can’t work to your capacity, and run your farm business effectively, if you don’t have the peace of mind from knowing you’re financially covered if the worst does happen. He says insurance is like a minefield, such a complex area nowadays that people really need to consult a specialist who can point out pitfalls and risks to work out what the boxes are that need to be

ticked and how to best tick them. “Most people want to make sure that basically their policies are bullet-proof, so in other words, that they’ve got cover on every angle they can in case something happens,” Mr Cox told Dubbo Photo News. “Tick all the boxes. If you employ somebody, have workers comp, have public liability on your own farm, if you’re a sole trader maybe have income protection so that if you are injured, you’ll still receive a weekly income. “Compared to what could happen, insurance is inexpensive – the liability on a farm might be $800. We’re here to help, we’ve got multiple companies we can go

through and we can see if there’s any gaps in your insurance cover or compare what you’ve got.” Mr Cox said farms can be dangerous workplaces because of the sheer diversity of the job, with multiple types of heavy machinery, unpredictable livestock and tasks where farmers are quite often working isolated and alone. If they’re the owners of the farm business, they’ll be doing tasks they just want to get finished as quickly as possible. “There’s even one called management liability which can also cover you for fines that may be imposed by such people as WorkCover, if the rules are not deliberately broken.

Rodney Cox says his job is all about making insurances work, so people get the best cover for the best price. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

“In the event of someone being injured or killed, in workers comp, WorkCover can impose fines if they find that things weren’t adhered to the way they want them to be, so you can protect yourself against those fines, so workers comp pays out but they leave you with a $20,000 fine and you can cover that as well,” Mr Cox said, pointing to one insurance wran-

gle where the process had taken over from any semblance to common sense. “A fellow broke his ankle and, in seeking compensation, the (cost of) lawyers is up to nearly $200,000 so far – but no part of that money has gone to him yet. That’s just for a broken ankle. “You never know, you just need every box ticked.”

Triple M now rocks Dubbo

Pippa & Alo from the Triple M Dubbo breakfast team.

By KEN SMITH AN iconic Australian radio brand known and loved by generations of music “tragics” has arrived in Dubbo. The much loved Hit 93.5 is being rebranded and is now Triple M Dubbo with local breakfast team of Pippa & Alo ready to serve up the rock, the laughs and plenty of prizes. Dubbo Photo News caught up with the infectious energy of Pippa Moore and Alo Baker at the launch of Triple M Dubbo at Taronga Western Plains Zoo last week and these two are pumped. The arrival of Triple M Dubbo is certainly going to shake up the hotly contested local airwaves, closing the gap between our three commercial stations, all chasing the attention of the demographics that still reach for the radio.

Clean Jobs could head out west A CLEAN Jobs Plan commissioned by the Climate Council has revealed 20,000 to 25,000 job opening can be created in NSW within three years. “There are dozens of renewable energy projects around Dubbo and Orange proposed for development. Four proposed projects – the Dunedoo solar farm, Molong solar farm, Uungula wind farm, and Gilgandra solar farm – could create 610 jobs in the region,” Climate Council researcher Ella Weisbrot said. “Large-scale renewables, organic waste management, ecosystem restoration, residential retrofitting and public transport are top policy opportunities able to create new jobs,” she said. The Clean Jobs Plan says most of the jobs in large-scale renewables (5500), ecosystem restoration (2200) and energy efficiency retrofitting can be created regionally.

COVER STORY

Quad quandary FARM SAFETY WEEK By JOHN RYAN FOR decades, ag and trail bikes were the mainstay for stock and general work on farms across the state, until they were overtaken by the ubiquitous quad bikes. Now Alex Mendham says buggies could become the standard mode of getting around. The Dubbo City Motorcycles owner spoke to Dubbo Photo News on the eve of National Farm Safety Week and said safety concerns were driving the industry at a global level. “Definitely, I think we’re seeing quad bikes phased out. New ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) laws are coming in October this year, that’s going to pretty much reinvent the wheel of what we see on farms and what farmers are now using,” Mr Mendham said. “A big push is now on for sideby-side. Anything with a certified ROPS (Roll Over Protection) is a big thing now, safety being the main concern around why people are going for side-by-sides. “Safety’s the key, that’s the big thing around everything nowadays, that’s where everything’s going with the ACCC ban coming in, that’s around safety and not practicality and productivity of an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle). We all know how handy a quad is on the farm, but safety’s the big push.”

Safework Australia data shows there have been 11 quad bike fatalities nationwide so far this year, and in the period from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2018, 128 people died in quad incidents, 14 of them children aged 11 years or under. More than half of those fatalities (77) were the result of a rollover and 78 fatalities occurred on a farm or property. Of the 128 fatalities, at least 76 were due to unstable or uneven terrain, for example an incline, ditch, embankment, sand or mud. Currently there’s no legislation for rollbars to be fitted to quad bikes but in October last year the federal government said that within 12 months, by October 2020, all new quad bikes will need to have information affixed to them about the degree of slope at which they will start to overturn. And by October 2021, all new general use quad bikes will need to conform with minimum standards for stability on slopes. That standard will also require that all new general use quad bikes sold in Australia will have to have an operator protection device, or rollover bar, to reduce the risk of serious crush injuries and deaths in the event of a rollover. Already those mandatory requirements and the impacts from those tougher regulations are being felt by manufacturers and farmers. “Polaris is removing itself from

the quad bike market from October 2020. The side-by-sides will still be available but the All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs, or quad bikes) will be gone,” Mr Mendham said. “If you already pre-own a quad, nothing needs to happen. “In these side-by-sides, two-up, three-up, depending what options you’ve got, six-up depending on how big you want to go in a machine, the options are there and every single passenger has got a seatbelt and they’re safe.” Meantime, Dubbo Photo News has learned many landholders have been buying up current complianced quad bikes so they’ll still have legal four-wheelers for years to come. Alex Mendham confirmed the squeeze has been put on quad bike stocks in Australia. “There’s definitely stockpiling happening, a bit of panic-buying

similar to what we see with the likes of the supermarkets and toilet paper,” he said. “It’s happening with ATVs. I’ve got not a single ATV to sell between now and October. I’m completely sold out, they’re sold out pretty much nationwide so I cannot get a new machine, they’re well gone. “Obviously we only hear about the bad things, we don’t hear about the good things, but we’ve got guys who’ve used their quad bikes for 10,000 to 11,000km a year, which is equivalent to 1000 hours, so you have many people who just operate them safely in their daily work. “We’re seeing side-by-sides getting more hours on them now, more kilometres on them because they’re more comfortable, more practical, and again, safer so that’s a big thing as well.”

DUBBO Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) has been put on “life support”. Event and show bookings made between now and the end of the year will receive a massive 60 per cent discount on venue hire to help save the state-of-the-art facility from the impact of COVID-19. The DRTCC has been closed to the public since March due to the global pandemic, with 23 shows forced to cancel or postpone performances. This ‘recovery offer’ hopes to encourage consumer and client confidence and get people back to the theatre, while respecting the one person per four square metre rule. “We need this theatre to work,

we desperately need the theatre to work, it’s terrible what’s going on,” Mayor Ben Shields told Dubbo Photo News. “We are putting the theatre on life support effectively during COVID, we need to get it going again and realistically, with everyone being down and out in the dumps, it’s a good thing if we can at least have some sort of shows there, so we need to do what we can do to keep it going.” The discount applies to venue hire of the theatre to reflect the 60 per cent reduction in available seating, as well as the venue hire of the Macquarie Auditorium and Oxley Room. If COVID restrictions relax further allowing full capacity before December 31, the discount offer will be scrapped.

Sheep’s back versus shearer’s back FARM SAFETY WEEK By JOHN RYAN SHEARING is seen by many people as a back-breaking task and many shearers have suffered chronic and lasting back injuries as a direct result of their time in the game. Dayne West, who runs a shearing business and also trains new shearers in the best techniques so they can thrive long-term in the industry, says during National Farm Safety Week it’s important to take the opportunity to acknowledge the advances the wool harvesting industry has undergone in recent years. “These include the simple incorporation of innovations such as raised catching pens, where the angle of the pen floor slopes down towards the shearers’ door to enable them less resistance from the animal when dragging to their workstation,” Mr West told Dubbo Photo News. “Or, the technological advances in the overhead plants and regular servicing emphasis of these plants for ongoing performance, as recently implemented from one of the industry manufacturers.” Mr West says the actual workplaces across the industry as a whole, on average, are well below standard, even where graziers have built new sheds yet failed to provide the basics of a flushing toilet and running hot and cold water located at the shed. “As opposed to walking up to

Shearing contractor Dayne West says there has to be plenty of strategic thought put into the nation’s wool industry to ensure that graziers and the people who work in the game can prosper into the future. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/FILE

half a kilometre for some workers to get to a toilet and having to hunch down around the base of a water tank in the mud and slop to address a simple task of hygiene like washing our hands,” he said. Mr West can’t count the number of times people in the general population have asked him that if he’s a shearer, his back must hurt, with many telling him the slings to aid his back are the way to go – he’s concerned there’s a strong perception out there that the back-slings are a silver bullet. “I personally do not use one, as I focus on using correct ergonomic positioning to the down tube,

and maintaining a neutral back and engaging my core and legs to do the work,” Mr West said. “I also maintain that, used over a long period of time, a back-aid sling without the correct arm attachment provided above the shearer will potentially create longer-term issues for workers than that of other current industry issues such as shearing large or incorrectly emptied sheep for wool harvesting.” He’s also concerned about the future of the wool industry as a whole. He believes it has changed from being an industry that once proverbially carried this nation

on its back, to now being a long way behind agri-technology advances in other areas. “Statistically speaking... sheep graziers, have been able to offset their intermittent losses from other enterprises such as cropping in their profit and losses, whilst spending the larger percentage of asset advancement on these other enterprises as opposed to the wool harvesting asset base,” he said. “Largely this is due to the misconception and ill-education of graziers that, yes, the wool harvesting workforce are only at their location for a relatively short period of time. “However as they move from sub-standard location to sub-standard location, it is little wonder the biggest concern of wool harvesting contractors on the eastern seaboard going into the future is how will we encourage more people back into the industry as the national flock begins to grow again on this side of the country.” Mr West says the answers are nuts-and-bolts obvious. “Going forward there will not be just one. For some graziers a renovation will be required,” he said, “while others may look to go the way of the rest of the world’s wool harvesting practice shearing on portable trailers. “Engaging a contractor with a shearing trailer that meets the standards required could be a more practical option into the future.”

IN BRIEF

Small business tax cuts for 2020-2021 financial year

FROM this month, small and family businesses will be paying less tax as a result of legislated tax cuts passed by the Coalition Government. As the 2020-2021 financial year begins, incorporated small and family businesses with a turnover of less than $50 million will see their company tax rate reduced. Unincorporated businesses will also benefit as the rate of the small business income tax offset increases. The changes mark the next stage of the Government’s accelerated small business tax cuts, legislated in October 2018, which brought forward tax relief for small and medium businesses by five years.

Bettering Dubbo with new facilities COUNCIL WATCH By LYDIA PEDRANA A NEW convention centre is on the top of the Mayor’s list when it comes to building a better Dubbo. While Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack was in town last week, he announced Dubbo Regional Council would receive $42,500 under a Building Better Regions grant to bring more events to the city. Cr Ben Shields wants to see the money used on physical infrastructure, saying our current facilities aren’t good enough. “We do need a large convention centre in Dubbo. We have proposed a 1500-seat convention centre for the showground,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “We can’t get those giant indoor exhibitions without a big convention centre. “They didn’t do a good enough job when they built the tiered theatre over 10 years ago and, realistically, it is in the wrong spot. It’s just not big enough for proper conventions,” Cr Shields said. He said getting a business case together for a convention centre is a good thing, and that it would take into account what would be

needed to attract large events – including sporting events – to Dubbo. He also remained committed to getting an NRL game to Dubbo, urging Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders to “put his money where his mouth is and actually fund it”.

It comes after Mr Saunders was named on the NSW Government’s NRL Regional Taskforce earlier this month and said it was his “top priority is to see Dubbo host an NRL premiership game in 2021”. “Council is absolutely commit-

ted to the NRL. I’m extremely excited now that the State Government is on board and they’ve made indications that they are keen to do something with us on that, but that is solely dependent on State Government funding,” Mr Shields said.

Farming for a future FARM SAFETY WEEK By JOHN RYAN NATIONAL Farm Safety Week aims to raise awareness of farm safety issues in rural communities across the country, and Farmsafe Australia is revitalising its operations thanks to a federal government grant, says chairman Charles Armstrong. The three-year National Farm Safety Education Fund grant is being provided by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment. “The National Farm Safety Education Fund grant has allowed Farmsafe Australia to employ an executive officer who will manage the revitalisation project but will also be responsible for the day to day running of the organisation, which is a significant and extremely positive change for the

operational abilities of Farmsafe,” Mr Armstrong said. “A refreshed look is the first of many changes that will be occurring over the next three years. We are rebuilding the Farmsafe website to be the ‘go to’ place for farm safety information.” This year’s theme for Farm Safety Week is “Farming for a Future”, focussing on risk assessment and awareness, planning and mitigation, in light of a year which has seen drought, bushfires, floods and COVID-19. Mr Armstrong said Farmsafe Australia will have a strong focus on mental health awareness and support. “The first phase of the project will see the refreshed brand and a modern and engaging redesigned website become the gateway for the release of a new repository of user-friendly, downloadable toolbox talk resources and an upgraded induction tool that will cross

numerous commodities and be able to be used offline,” he said. “This will ensure that even those properties that struggle with their internet have access to our resources.” Farmsafe’s new executive officer plans to be spending time on farms across Australia, hearing firsthand about current issues and getting the opportunity to listen to farmers’ ideas on what they need, to work towards best practice safety processes and systems on their farms, for their employees and their families. Farmsafe will also be running its first ever virtual conference in November. Although the decision to switch to the virtual platform was made in response to the current COVID-19 restrictions, it will mean that the conference is more accessible to a wider audience, allowing farmers to stay on-farm while still having access to first class speakers, webinars, forums

IN BRIEF

Kmart to replace Target in Dubbo in October MAYOR of the Dubbo Region Ben Shields says he was excited to receive confirmation from Target Australia that its Dubbo-based store will be converted into a Kmart. The Wesfarmers group wrote directly to the Mayor to confirm the news following a strategic nationwide review of the Target business. “I have been advocating for a Kmart in Dubbo for many years, and it’s fantastic to hear that the Wesfarmers group has decided to transition its Target store to a Kmart store in October this year. “I understand that it might be disappointing for some that we are losing our Target, but it’s great to know that it will be replaced with a store like Kmart.” Team members in Target stores scheduled for conversion to a Kmart will be offered the opportunity to join the business. “I’m incredibly relieved that Target will allow its employees the opportunity to swap over to the ever-growing Kmart, keeping them in jobs during this particularly turbulent time,” Cr Shields said. Target has assured the Mayor that its online services will remain operational, should people still wish to purchase from the store.

and virtual exhibitors. Mr Armstrong said he’s excited about Farmsafe Australia’s future. “Farmsafe Australia is ready to resume its spot as the national voice of farm safety and work alongside state bodies, researchers, universities, medical experts and industry professionals to coordinate and provide safety messaging that is accurate and consistent for Australia’s smallest hobby acreage through to our largest corporate farms.”

Councillors explain South Bridge vote Their reasons why two options are better than four COUNCIL WATCH By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

DUBBO Regional councillors Vicki Etheridge and Greg Mohr have spoken out about why they voted to make public only two of four proposed options for a South Bridge during last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Infrastructure and Liveability Committee meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish to address some concerns that have been raised on why I voted against two options for a South Bridge,â&#x20AC;? Cr Etheridge said in a letter to the editor of Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be clear, I was elected as a representative of the Central Ward. Central Ward takes in all of residential South Dubbo. This is an area I know very well, and that I am very concerned about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the last election, I stood on a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Save Our Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; platform as a result of developers wanting to transform residential South Dub-

bo with higher amounts of traffic and denser housing stock, like blocks of flats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The residents in South Dubbo do not want more traffic and congestion on their roads as most of South Dubbo already has problems with traffic and service provision. The options I opposed sent traffic directly into residential South Dubbo,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe if we are to build a South Bridge, it must flow traffic into the CBD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the quiet neighbourhoods of South Dubbo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is essential that councillors represent the view of their community and not simply throw spanners in the works for silly political games. I deliberately voted to not send traffic through residential South Dubbo. As a councillor I have an obligation to do as my electors have instructed me,â&#x20AC;? Cr Etheridge said. Chairman of both the DRC Infrastructure Committee and Dubbo Traffic Committee, Councillor

Greg Mohr, said he was disgusted at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;irresponsible actions of a few councillorsâ&#x20AC;? willing to risk the South Bridge infrastructure project for the sake of â&#x20AC;&#x153;point scoringâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two options I voted against would plunge Dubbo Regional Council into a fight with both Taronga Western Plains Zoo and the Dubbo Golf Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their rubbish idea is to forcibly seize land from the zoo, while running the new bridge road directly facing the Golf Club. How irresponsible is that?â&#x20AC;? he questioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of the councillors

` The two options I voted against would plunge Dubbo Regional Council into a fight with both Taronga Western Plains Zoo and the Dubbo Golf Club... a â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cr Greg Mohr

understand the problems with this proposal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure why they wanted to cause havoc during the consultation period. Some have suggested it is to make the River Street Bridge look good by comparison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of their motives, any resident of Dubbo knows that road designs like this are plain stupid,â&#x20AC;? Cr Mohr said. Cr David Grant had moved an amendment to have the four available options put on public display, instead of just two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am disappointed that the amendment was defeated with only councillor Diffey and deputy mayor, Cr Stephen Lawrence, supporting it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no doubt that each of the options are not without their advantages and disadvantages. One of my concerns is that we are looking at options that will have enormous impact on a valuable sporting precinct and recreational area,â&#x20AC;? Cr Grant said.

HEALTHY Rivers Dubbo has launched a community powered campaign featuring television, radio and newspaper advertisements to highlight concerns about plans to dam the Wambuul Macquarie River at Gin Gin, between Narromine and Warren. Concerns over a new weir are held for the future of the Macquarie Marshes, heritage and cultural sites, downstream communities, graziers and unregulated irrigators. Healthy Rivers Dubbo coordinator Mel Gray says Dugald Saunders has a choice to make. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for Dugald to stop the haemorrhaging of public funds being used to design a project that will harm the river, wildlife, the Macquarie Marshes and downstream farmers and communities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Change the plans now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rebuild the old weir, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t damn the Macquarie.â&#x20AC;? Water NSW is conducting a survey on its website for community feedback.

FARM SAFETY WEEK

The right reaction to chemicals By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY AVOIDING dangerous chemical exposure on farms is as easy as reading the label says RuralBiz Training chemicals instructor Reg Kidd. “If you find anything ever gone wrong, it’s usually through lack of not reading the label. We have the best labelling in the world that has all the information on how to use a product efficiently and effectively, to be very, very environmentally conscious and doing the right thing, and for your own health and for public health,” he said. “Labels tells you what the chemicals are in a product, then it goes through a whole heap of statements, such as what effect it may have on the environment if not used properly, how to store the chemical, how to transport the chemical, how to mix the chemical, how to use it, what personal protective clothing should be worn, what you should do in an emergency if there was a spill, right through to emergency numbers,” Mr Kidd said. Every state is governed by the Pesticide Act which outlines training requirements, the safe use of chemicals and keeping people up to date technically. It is compulsory for farmers to get accredited in the use of chemicals and re-accredited every five years. “Farmers have been required to be accredited for more than 20 years, this has been in place for a

long time,” RuralBiz Training CEO Kathy Sims said. RuralBiz Training offers a statement of attainment in chemicals called Chemical Card Plus course. “Our most popular course offered regarding the safe use of chemicals is Chemical Card Plus which meets the legal requirements for farmers to apply chemicals in their business,” Mrs Sims said. “Included in the course are modules on the safe preparation and application of chemicals, transport and storage, disposal of drums and no-longer-wanted chemicals and

cleaning up spills. “NSW farmers are eligible for 100 per cent subsidy to do this course under the NSW Government Smart and Skilled programme and on completion of the course, they receive a 2Unit statement of attainment,” Mrs Sims said. RuralBiz Training offers the course in four ways, including faceto-face (not during COVID-19), online, via a webinar and old-style distance education. “The old-style distance education is where you can have the pack sent out to you and you can do it

by yourself. For the guys who are not really computer literate we can accommodate them as well. Pretty well anyone in NSW can access the course,” Mrs Sims said. Off farm, Mr Kidd would like to see more done on domestic use of chemicals. “In the area of farm chemicals there are more guidelines in what you should and should not be doing that unfortunately aren’t carried through for domestic use,” he said. “People can store their domestic chemicals anywhere. Quite often

they don’t read the labels or they dispose of them incorrectly. “I believe that the safe and effective use of chemicals should be in the school curriculum, because every kid in a school will be exposed to a situation where they’ll use a chemical. Whether those chemicals are sugar, salt, pepper, or in the yard, dad or mum cleaning the car or carpet. “I think it’s something that everybody should have some form of education in. A lot of people think that what they’re using is perfectly safe.”

COVID-19

Adapt and stay positive By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY TOWARDS the end of March 2020, QANTAS stood down more than 20,000 staff and in June, fired another 6000. International flights were suspended and a 60 per cent reduction in domestic flights meant two-thirds of employees were temporarily stood down to preserve as many jobs as possible in the longer term. All international flights were suspended seeing more than 150 aircraft temporarily grounded including all of Qantas’s 787s, 747s, and A380s. Such was the impact of COVID-19. For Dubbo local Mark Benton, an A330 pilot, this meant he was temporarily but abruptly out of a secure job. “Usually I work during the week, flying up into Asia mostly, flying the A330, and then home at

weekends,” Mr Benton said. “I was terminated from my job on March 7, thanks to COVID-19 restrictions. Just before that, before COVID really spread, all we had noticed was one temperature check in Singapore. After Australia reached over 100 deaths, that was that. All international flights were grounded.” Spending a lot of time on terra firma is something different for Mr Benton but he’s making the most of it. “I’ve been home longer now than I’ve ever been so I’m loving spending time with my family, and I think everyone’s found that, especially in the beginning when we all stayed home with family. “I’m also really enjoying not being jetlagged all the time,” he said. Despite the uncertainty of when international flights will resume to China and Asia, Mr Benton has not been idle, picking up piloting jobs with local charter flight busi-

ness Bush Air. Their Beechcraft Baron aircraft takes a maximum of five passengers and can do 380 kilometres per hour, compared to an A330 which can carry over 250 passengers and cruise at speeds which basically break the sound barrier (over 987 kilometres per hour). “It took a little bit of getting used to a six-seater but it’s still a plane, so yes it did take me a little while to get used to flying a small plane again,” he said. Doing what he can for his family however, has been paramount above anything else, so Mr Benton also jumped at the chance of another job, doing food deliveries for Woollies. When asked if he’s as a good a driver as a pilot, he laughed, but added: “I have spent a lot more time trying to be a good pilot than a driver. “I stay positive, and I’ve been doing what everybody really has

had to do at this time and that’s adapt. Jobkeeper is very helpful but it only covers a basic wage. I really had to do something else.” Following the recent relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions and prior to current renewed concerns, Mr Benton has been able to return to “fly” in an A330 simulator. “We usually go into the simulator every three months, so that’s been fantastic.”

Mr Benton also owns local adventure flight business, Warrior Warbirds, offering adventure flights in a CJ-6A Nanchang, a Chinese designed and built military trainer which first flew for the People’s Liberation Army Air Force in 1958. “It’s been good to get my plane back in the air. We’ve set everything up to be COVID-safe and we’re offering flights again.”

Safety First By JOHN RYAN TY Arnold is a livestock team member at Fletcher International but also coordinates the Work, Health and Safety (WH&S) for the company’s livestock division. He’s a big fan of National Farm Safety Week because he says it reminds everyone in the industry about the inherent dangers of workplaces in the agricultural industries. He’s convinced that working with animals safely requires the proper training, with a need for clear processes and protocols in place for all concerned. “You’ve got to have a clear mind because you just don’t want to go rushing in, you’ve got to be able to read your livestock and know if they’re not accepting human

pressure and how to work around them to minimise the risk to the animals if they’re flighty,” Mr Arnold told Dubbo Photo News. On the Fletcher farms, in the plant’s yards, when handling stock and at saleyards across the eastern states, Mr Arnold says inductions for all workers are an integral part of the job. “There are induction processes, we do the theory side of it and then when the inductees come in we’ll pair them with an experienced stock-handler and we’ll teach them how to read stock and how they work,” he said, pointing out that the theory gives basic knowledge so those guidelines can be coupled with experienced mentors who’ll radically increase and enlarge the trainees understanding and situational aware-

ness when dealing with livestock. “It’s very important because the experienced guys, they’ve seen a lot of what can happen, they’ve been in situations so know how to avoid injury and it just speeds up training of new workers.” Mr Arnold came up through the Fletcher ranks and said, for him, the induction and training was invaluable.

“Especially in the livestock area because we’re in and amongst the stock a lot, out in the paddocks there’s a bit more distance, you’ve got more room to move, but in the yards it’s very important to know what the animal’s doing and know what they can do to you as well, depending on what type of animal,” he said. “It’s very important to have

everyone on the same page so everyone knows what to do and what guidelines to follow.

“All the truck drivers that do come in, they’re inducted before entering the site, we give them all the guidelines, our PPE and what we expect them to do which helps protect them as well as protect our guys as well.”

PETER Cooke fronts the Discovery Channel’s Outback Opal Hunters and says it’s been a boon for western tourism, with visitors flocking to Lightning Ridge to check out the frontier town and the people who live there. “It’s been absolutely amazing, that show. I get comments from the tourist operators, the caravan park operators, people who’ve come to the ‘Ridge solely because their kids have seen the show on TV and tell mum and dad, ‘we have to go and see what Lightning Ridge and black opal is all about’,” Mr Cooke told Dubbo Photo News. “My brother Mick and I were the only ones silly enough to put our hands up when they came around looking for people to put a microphone on and go about their mining business. Not many people were interested in doing that – it’s a bit of a nuisance, but, like I say, it’s had really good benefits for the town which is great. “The town depends on tourism for its livelihood. The opal is a big part of it and it’s the reason Lightning Ridge is there but anything that can bring them and put a smile on their faces and their hands in their pockets for the local businesses, it’s great.” Mr Cooke was raising his family, three daughters, the eldest 30, in Beechworth in northern Victoria,

surrounded by Ned Kelly country. He ran a bobcat business and built stone houses as well as working as a psych nurse in an asylum in the town, but said it was just too cold. “I’ve been coming up to Lightning Ridge as a hobby miner for 30 plus years and now I’ve lived there fulltime for 10 years and I just love it, it’s the place for me,” he said. “Opal mining’s one of those jobs where the little bloke’s got a chance, you don’t have to be a great big million dollar corporation or work for BHP, you can go there with a pick and a shovel, virtually, and if you’re lucky enough, and work hard enough, you can make a good living out of it, not guaranteed, there’s no guarantee in it. You’ve got to be a gambler to be an opal miner I think and if you can, having a supplementary income would also be helpful.” Mr Cooke recently struck lucky, with what he describes as the find of a lifetime. “A stone we found up at the ‘Ridge, it was a 50 carat knobby when we found it, I rubbed it down to 40 carats, it’s not finished but enough to look good and put it in a saleable condition,” he said. “They’re almost once or twice in a lifetime, I’d say that to see that stone it would’ve been 500 trucks of dirt to go through. So, if you’re lucky you might get two or three of those in a lifetime – they’re rare, very rare. “I was fortunate selling this one

because I’m involved in the Outback Opal Hunters and the buyer that I sold it to is going to use that as the leverage when he goes to sell the stone. “Just enjoy opal – it’s Australia’s national gemstone and not enough Aussies know enough about opal. All our good opal gets sold overseas and I think more of it should stay here and be appreciated by Aussies.”

THE NSW Government Planning, Industry and Environment department is sponsoring a renewable energy in the Central West forum in Dubbo in September. Speakers include the NSW Minister for Energy and Environment Matthew Kean, Australian National University Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems director, professor Andrew Blakers, Energy Democracy managing director Alan Major, Neoen head of development Australia Garth Heron, Essential Energy engineering executive manager David Salisbury, Australian Renewable Energy Agency investment director Dan Sturrock. Topics will include case studies, the policy landscape, community engagement and social license, technology outlook and transmission.

FARMING communities will be forced to wait up to a year to see any benefit from the Coalition Government’s Future Drought Fund, says Shadow Minister for Agriculture Joel Fitzgibbon. The Future Drought Fund was announced in October 2018 by Prime Minister Scott Morrison and its $90 million foundation resilience program was detailed on July 1, revealing programs that would not take effect until July of 2021. “These programs have not been widely applauded by farmers, because they don’t offer practical help. But to delay the available benefits, after almost one year since it passed the Parliament, is a slap in the face to those drought-affected areas needing help from the Government,” Mr Fitzgibbon said.

Transcend a COVID world By JOHN RYAN ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S not often you get anything free in life but Sahaja Yoga Meditation (SYM) is bringing free workshops to Dubbo and Narromine in a few days and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about helping reduce stress for people living during one of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most stressful periods in a century. The workshop facilitators say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very aware that while this sort of activity is readily available in the cities, country people can find it much more difficult to access even though their need is just as great, if not greater. The facilitatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; desire is simply to reach out and share what they already enjoy. Starting this month, the free monthly meditation workshops are said to be a natural and proven approach that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Patrick Sleeman says in a world thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming increasingly uncertain and stressful, more and more people are searching for the relief, and even joy, that true meditation can bring. He believes finding an approach that works is becoming less of an alternative and more of a necessity as we grapple with drought, fire, isolation and personal challenges. In Dubbo this will begin with a free meditation workshop at the Dubbo Pipe Band

Meditation workshops are heading to Dubbo and Narromine this weekend. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED.

Hall, corner of Darling and Wingewarra Streets on Saturday, July 25, from 10.30 am until 11.30 am. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The workshop will include an introduction and the experience of peace and relief that comes with self-realisation,â&#x20AC;? Mr Sleeman said. The weekend activities will also include a similar workshop in Narromine on Sunday,

July 26, at St. Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish Hall, 10 Dandaloo Street, Narromine from 10.30 am to 11.30 am. Both the Dubbo and Narromine workshops will continue to be held on the fourth weekend of each month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The workshops will be suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators. Participants will learn

how to deal with relentless over-thinking, reduce stress and achieve inner balance. There are no strenuous physical exercises, postures or special clothing required and the practice is suitable for all ages and levels of physical fitness. Participants will be seated on chairs and the workshops will be conducted in accordance with all COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. Nobel Peace Prize nominee Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi founded Sahaja Yoga Meditation in 1970 and since then, millions of people in almost 100 countries have experienced the benefits of Sahaja Yoga Meditation using her uniquely natural approach, based on traditional wisdom and practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deep within every person is a place of silence and peace. Learning to meditate allows us to experience that aspect of ourselves and to bring it into our daily lives,â&#x20AC;? Mr Sleeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we learn to meditate, our lives slowly change for the better. We become more peaceful and other people respond to that in a positive way. One peaceful person can have a soothing influence on everyone around them.â&#x20AC;? For more information please contact Patrick Sleeman on 0425774430 or visit: www.freemeditation.com.au

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Walwaay the best way

“AFTER 17 years in policing I’ve never seen anything like it, it’s amazing, the turnaround with the kids is just unbelievable.” That’s an experienced police voice talking about the profound impact Project Walwaay has had on so many of Dubbo’s disadvantaged youth, and it’s what senior constable Kellie Shields, one of three local officers who makes up the local Aboriginal Youth Team, told Dubbo Photo News as the Rotary Club of Dubbo’s president Carla Pittman handed over a $1000 cheque to local police commander Peter McKenna. “This is what keeps us running, it’s very important, without it our programs stop,” Snr Cst Shields said. As a frontline cop, she says she can’t believe the positive, transformative impact Project Walwaay is having for the participants and their families, as well as for the city itself. “We’ve had kids going from committing crimes every night, maybe just stealing to get by, for a feed, to now where we’re providing meals for them most days and they’re not having to steal. “We’re providing them with activities that keep them busy so they’re not out there committing crimes, it’s marvellous,” she said, emphasising how important it is to have a boss who understands it’s critical to keep the programs that work, up and running. “It makes the difference – without a boss that is open to other methods of policing, this doesn’t happen, so we need that open-mindedness and the community support,” Snr Cst Shields said. “Charging kids isn’t necessarily going to make a difference (nor is) putting them before the magistrate – we find that if we are able to stop them getting involved in the criminal justice system then we can make the difference.” Superintendent Peter McKenna said proactive policing programs that actually work at the grassroots are vital to keep running. “This means the world to what we do with these kids because without this sort of donation we can’t do the programs we’re doing, and they’re going great guns, you know, we’re really making a big difference,” he said. President of the Rotary Club of Dubbo, Carla Pittman, said her members were all for supporting local initiatives that they can see working on the ground. “A key part of the community is our youth and that was something that I think we do need to put a bit of a focus on because they’re going to be the leaders of tomorrow, potentially,” she said.

Police were called and commenced an investigation into the incident, now officers are hoping to speak to a man described as being of Caucasian appearance, approximately 20-30 years of age, with short strawberry blonde hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing a long sleeve orange high-visibility shirt, dark sunglasses and a hat. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Buzz off motor bikes

Narromine scam

TWO dirt bikes were spotted on Mugga Hill Reserve late on Sunday afternoon, when a couple of locals on their mountain bikes came across the motorbikes using trails maintained by local volunteers and popular with the local mountain bikers and walkers alike. The damage was well and truly done with deep tyre tracks now seen gouging many places along the trail which is still damp after recent rains. Volunteers dedicate hours of their time to create and maintain a facility for the local mountain bike club and damage of this kind can close trails, meaning everyone misses out. There are a lot less places for mountain bikers to enjoy their sport in Dubbo than there are for dirt bikers, and there’ll be a lot of kids going without their favourite

Teenager stranger danger POLICE are appealing for information after reports three teenagers were walking along Oak Street from Alder Avenue in Dubbo when a vehicle stopped alongside them after 3pm on July 16. The three teenagers, aged between 14 and 16, described the vehicle as an older model Holden Rodeo dual cab utility tray back, and said the male driver attempted to initiate conversation before driving in an easterly direction on Oak Street. They said the ute drove by them a further three times, slowing each time it passed the teenag-

Cobra Street crash MORNING peak hour was disrupted on Tuesday after a twocar collision at the traffic lights where Cobra and Darling Streets intersect. Police say no-one suffered serious injury in the crash, but one of the vehicles had to be towed from where it came to rest, next to one of the traffic lights on the western side of the crossroads. POLICE have charged a 46-yearold man with fraud-related offences following an investigation into a scam targeting the elderly in Narromine. Police allege that last month, the man engaged in conversation with a 70-year-old woman at the town’s hospital about conducting maintenance work at her home. On June 26, it’s alleged the man and a woman attended the victim’s home on Meringo Street, taking her to a bank to withdraw a sum of cash for payment. The pair allegedly requested and received payment of $2800 prior to commencing maintenance of the woman’s roller door, before avoiding contact with the victim. On June 29 police were notified of the incident by concerned neighbours and commenced an investigation into the matter. Officers will allege a second woman, aged 83, was approached by the pair at her home on Manildra Street at Narromine when they offered to split wood at the residence. Police further allege that the 83-year-old gave the man a sum of cash to purchase a new axe, however he failed to provide the change. Following investigations, at about 5pm on July 15 police arrested the man at a home on Cathundril Street. He was taken to Narromine Police Station and charged with dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception (x2), and drive disqualified – second offence. He was bail refused to appear before Dubbo Local Court. Investigations continue, with Detective Inspector Paul Stephens encouraging local residents to check on their elderly neighbours. “As our detectives continue to investigate these incidents, we encourage everyone to remain vigilant and to share these warnings with their parents and grandparents,” Det Insp Stephens said.

“Fraud is theft by deception and often you won’t know it’s happened until it is too late. “Do not be afraid to ask the right questions – what is the person’s name and what company do they represent.” Police say homeowners can safeguard against becoming a victim by following a number of simple precautions: z Never let anyone inside your house or unit if you don’t know them, z Always ask for identification – a business card is not enough, z Never keep large amounts of money around the house, z If you are uncertain about the person’s credibility, obtain their details and contact NSW Fair Trading, z Banks do not send anyone to your house to collect anything. Further advice and information can be found at the Ageing and Disability Commission website.

Hotel headbutt penalised AT about 5pm on July 11, police say a group of people were socialising at a hotel in Byrock before retiring to nearby accommodation to consume alcohol. It is alleged a 36-year-old man from Byrock, unknown to the group, attended the accommodation and began harassing its members. Police were told the man refused to leave the location before members of the group attempted to escort him from the area. It is alleged the accused approached the victim, a man aged 39, and headbutted him in the nose. As a result, the victim sustained multiple fractures and was taken to Orange Base Hospital for treatment. Police attended the scene and commenced inquiries into the incident and ended up arresting a man at a home on Merrere Street at Byrock. He was taken to Bourke Police Station where he was charged with reckless grievous bodily harm. The man was granted conditional bail at Bourke Local Court and is due to reappear at the same court today (July 23).

Former correctional officer charged A FORMER Corrective Services NSW officer has been charged with 10 offences following an investigation into corruption and the introduction of contraband at a correctional facility in the state’s Central West. In September last year, detectives from the Corrective Services Investigation Unit commenced an investigation under Strike Force Zandona into corrupt activities at correctional centres in the area.

During the investigation detectives received information that a female Corrective Services NSW officer was involved in the introduction of contraband at a facility near Dubbo. Following extensive inquiries, Strike Force Zandona investigators arrested a 34-year-old woman at a home at Wellington on July 15. She was taken to Wellington Police Station where she was charged with six counts of agent corruptly receive benefit, two counts of supply prohibited drug, holder of public office misconduct herself, and participate criminal group contribute criminal activity. Police will allege in court that the woman trafficked contraband, including prohibited drugs and tobacco, into a facility in return for financial benefits from the family members of inmates, while employed as a Corrective Services NSW officer. She was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Wellington Local Court on August 18. The woman’s employment was terminated by Corrective Services NSW in June this year. Investigations under Strike Force Zandona are continuing.

West roundabout work zone THERE wouldn’t be many people in Dubbo who weren’t aware of the extensive roadworks happening at the Newell Highway roundabout where it meets the Mitchell Highway just west of the L.H. Ford Bridge, but things will be speeding up over the next couple of weeks. Drainage will be relocated, and new drainage infrastructure will be built as part of the intersection upgrade. To minimise disruptions to motorists, work is taking place from Sunday, July 19, between 6pm and 6am Sunday to Thursday, and is expected to be completed in two weeks, weather permitting. Utility work will also take place at the intersection of the Newell Highway and Baird Street from Sunday, July 26, between 6pm and 6am from Sunday to Thursday, and is expected to be completed in two weeks, weather permitting. Temporary traffic control measures including reduced lane widths, a reduced speed limit of 40km/h and lane closures will be in place during work hours. Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control. Motorists should plan their trip, allow extra travel time and follow the direction of traffic control and all signs, including reduced speed limits. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

CWA of NSW partners with Workcover to promote safety on farms

COUNTRY Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association of NSW has partnered with Workcover to help promote safety on farms. The Alive and Well Farm Safety Campaign tells farmers stories with the aim of â&#x20AC;&#x153;shining a lightâ&#x20AC;? on some of the most common causes of injury and illness. Farmers are encouraged to visit the website, listen to other farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stories and share their own views on why farm safety is so important. In the last three years, almost 5500 NSW farmers have been injured at work and had to claim workers compensation. www.aliveandwell.net.au

By LYDIA PEDRANA DUBBO proved a popular choice among out-of-towners during the school holiday period, giving the region a much-needed boost. Local moteliers, eateries and tourist attractions experienced a positive spike in visitation numbers, a welcome change after the severe impact of COVID-19 on tourism. Dubboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest attraction, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Visitor Experience, had 3,005 people through their doors in 16 days. John Larkin, head of tourism for RFDS South Eastern Section, described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? with most guests coming from major metro areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were lots of families and kids, many from Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley were the biggest post codes,â&#x20AC;? he told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The overall consensus was people just wanted to get out of Sydney and they felt safe in Dubbo and the feedback was extraordinary. On TripAdvisor we are the number one attraction, so it was a great success, it just shows you what you can do in a regional area.â&#x20AC;?

Clinical simulation is a vital part of medical training

There are many diďŹ&#x20AC;erent methods of learning when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re training to become a doctor, from traditional textbooks to bedside teaching in the hospital. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one very important tool that is used in medical education that makes all the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clinical simulation.

without the stress of impacting a real person. Our Sim manikins can be programmed to take on a lifelike medical scenario, which can be structured and tailored to their learning needs.

Simulation allows medical students to practice important skills on customised, high-ďŹ delity training manikins. It places medical students in scenarios they are likely to face when they become fully-ďŹ&#x201A;edged doctors, with the same time pressures and urgency of a real-life emergency. Only without a real patient.

students treat the Sim â&#x20AC;&#x153;patientâ&#x20AC;? with the same care and urgency as if it were a real-life person. To an outside observer, it may look comical to watch the students work so seriously on a training manikin, but these are critical learning opportunities and students treat them as such. DebrieďŹ ng afterwards is important. As a team we talk through the scenario and reďŹ&#x201A;ect on what we did well and where we could improve.

At the School of Rural Health in Orange and Dubbo, clinical simulation is a vital part of the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learning experience. There are dedicated spaces at each campus, called Sim Labs, that replicate clinical environments. The School of Rural Health has invested in a suite of life-sized simulation manikins to be used in training scenarios. There is Sim Man, who can breathe, groan and even bleed. Sim Mum can replicate a vaginal birth and other more complex obstetric issues, while Sim Newbie and Sim Junior are used in paediatric-focused learning. They are highly specialised devices and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reďŹ&#x201A;ected in the price. They cost anywhere from $20,000 for a Sim Newbie, up to $150,000 for a life-sized Sim Man. As well as the manikins, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also anatomically-designed training devices for students to hone important procedural skills, such as lumbar punctures, catheterisation and naso-gastric tube insertion. The students are led through simulations by The School of Rural Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expert Clinical Skills Educators in Orange and Dubbo. They teach students the skills they need and run the regular simulation exercises. During the scenarios, they monitor how the students are performing and debrief them after it has played out. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked the School of Rural Health Clinical Skills team answer our burning questions and tell us what goes on in the Sim Labsâ&#x20AC;Ś What is medical simulation? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an education tool which assists in developing and enhancing critical thinking, decision making and time management skills in a less stressful and non-threatening environment. It serves as an alternative to real patients, so mistakes and learning opportunities occur

Why is it important? Sim training has long been a teaching tool within healthcare education. It is used by clinicians at all ages and stages of their careers. It allows us to create an experience where the student can demonstrate proďŹ ciency in unfamiliar clinical situations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also very equitable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can replicate a situation many times over and oďŹ&#x20AC;er the same learning experience to each student. What are some of the scenarios? There are endless medical situations we can replicate. One focus is emergency presentations, such as basic life support, cardiac arrest, decreased consciousness, managing pulmonary embolus, post-partum haemorrhage, multi-trauma patients and paediatric life support. In some cases, we dress the manikins, mock up wounds and create distractions to make the scenario as realistic as possible. Do students treat the scenarios as if they are real? Absolutely. Simulations are treated with the utmost seriousness. The

Many thanks to the highly-experienced Clinical Skills Educators at the School of Rural Health in Orange and Dubbo, including Dr Tsung Chai, Dr Melanie Berry, Tracey Rolfe, Jaqueline Martin and Raelene Hutchison, and other local clinicians who contribute their time and expertise to the School of Rural Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovative simulation program.

IN BRIEF

OECD report critical of Australian government farm support policies THE Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s annual Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation report says Australia’s support to agricultural producers “continues to be among the lowest in the OECD, estimated at 2 per cent of gross farm receipts for 2017 to 2019”. The support is “well below the OECD average”, the report says. The report recommends funding increases for agricultural education to facilitate knowledge transfer and innovation take-up by farmers. On water resource management, the recommendation for policy makers is “continue to evaluate future projects cautiously to ensure that they take into account longer term climatic projections and do not incentivise maladaptive behaviour that may worsen conditions in the sector’s future.”

Dubbo Photo News was on a job near Sandy Beach when we came across John Pluck taking shots at a target with his frisbee. He had one practise shot to warm up for our photographic opportunity, then effortlessly scored a “hole-in-one”. “We probably do it each weekend and through the week sometimes,” he told Photo News, remarking that it’s a great, low impact activity where people can get out in nature and enjoy the serenity. “100 per cent, yeah, it’s really nice to be amongst the big trees and the green grass, it’s lovely.” On getting a hole-in-one while the pressure was on him? “It deﬁnitely felt good.” Harry Orr was also having a crack – he normally spends his winters refereeing multiple junior rugby games over the course of a Dubbo weekend and says frisbee golf is conducted at a far less frenetic pace. “It’s great, it’s nice and relaxing, you can chill out and take things at your own leisure,” Mr Orr said. He said there’s a time for full-on contact sports and other times where it’s just nice to chill out and take it easy, while still getting the manifold beneﬁts of open-air activity.

CHALLENGE

Farmers join the arts community By NATALIE LEWIS PROPERTIES are not just places of agriculture, as the local farming fraternity has demonstrated in recent years, with a number of farmers emerging in the Wellington art scene. One of the places where farmbased artists can display their talents is at the annual Wellington Arts and Sculpture Festival Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Challenge. Wellington Arts president Lisa Thomas said farmers were often reluctant to showcase their skills but the competition was gradually shifting those perceptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We introduced the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Challenge in 2017 when the drought was really having a strong grip on the district,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked if anybody from a

farm could come up with something and have continued that in the past two years. We are really encouraging farmers to bring their creativity to the fore.â&#x20AC;? Mrs Thomas said there were many benefits to the competition including prize money and bragging rights, along with a fun festival weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incentive for them to think about something other than farming and come up with something creative,â&#x20AC;? she said. With the past two years won by local grazier Tony Inder, the bar has been set for others to come up with the winning idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the bar has been set fairly high with Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talents,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Thomas said. Given the success of his two previous sculptures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a set of ramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horns in 2018 and a standing ram

in 2019 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safe bet that Mr Inder will once again be a contender for the title where the entries are voted by peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. Mrs Thomas added that sculptures do not need to be welded or made from steel, that they can be constructed from any material and any subject matter.

The only criteria is that entrants have farming as an occupation. Mrs Thomas said the event is locally sponsored by Fiona Adams Water Carting, who is a very active supporter of the local community. Entries in the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Challenge will be displayed at the Arts and Sculpture Festival on Sep-

tember 5 and 6, a family friendly weekend for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is on for 2020 to find who has been tinkering in the shed and is ready to wow us with some exciting sculptures.â&#x20AC;? To enter the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Challenge, visit: wellingtonarts.org.au

ROTARY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Where we live is where we grow By NATALIE LEWIS

Em Falsom has just taken over as president of Wellington Rotary. She is excited about some of the projects they are working on and is welcoming new members. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/SOPHIA ROUSE

EM Falsom has only been the Wellington Rotary president for a little over a week, but she is already bringing a fresh, new perspective to the club. With her big smile and bubbly personality, the daughter of two Rotarians hopes to attract new members and welcome people of all ages and backgrounds to lend their support to the organisation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people think the club is full of old men. It used to be vocationally driven but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now more flexible,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to grow diversity in the club and remain relevant in the community. I hope to attract more women, people from different backgrounds and younger people.â&#x20AC;? The club is also currently offering funding of between $500

and $5000 to eligible community groups in the form of the Quick Response Micro Grants Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing something progressive for Wellington,â&#x20AC;? Ms Falsom explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are offering the micro program so that people get funding really quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to do with a community project or event. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main criteria, as well as being a not-for-profit group from the Wellington area. We want to make it simple and would just like to see something that will strengthen the community.â&#x20AC;? Ms Falsom said the opportunity has been really popular with locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The application process is quick and easy. We have had a lot of people apply,â&#x20AC;? she said. With so many changes due to COVID-19, Rotary has needed to adapt its functions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have needed to work with

changing times. Some things we are doing differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been focusing on our goals for the year.â&#x20AC;? Working with drought-affected farmers, distributing knitted items (toys and baby clothes) donated by the Northbridge Rotary Club and planning for the RYPEN program for youth are among the projects ticking over behind the scenes. Ms Falsom said the club also hopes to return to regular market days in the near future, which have been on hold in the past few months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we are doing will be at a long distance,â&#x20AC;? she explained, ensuring the safety of members and the general community. When asked what makes Rotary special, Ms Falsom was quick to explain its appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do lots of things along the

way. You get to make friends that are a variety of ages. You meet with lots of like-minded people who have the community at heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We deliver programs and funding and create opportunities for people in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through Rotary, we are building a stronger, more resilient community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge charitable organisation in the world thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for our community. Where we live is where we grow.â&#x20AC;? Rotary usually has a dinner meeting for members twice a month. For more information on membership or funding opportunities, contact Em Falsom on 0402 736 081 or www.fb.com/ rotaryclubofwellington/ The current round of funding ends on July 31.

Art making cultural connections Grant goes plastic free By NATALIE LEWIS

Adam Ryan, Rhys Myers, Lisa Thomas, Brock Naden. PHOTO: LAURIE ROUSE

By NATALIE LEWIS AN Aboriginal art competition aimed at young people is connecting them to culture and community. The Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service (WACHS) holds the annual contest to inspire local youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the idea two years ago and we thought it would be a great opportunity to involve local schools in Dubbo and Wellington,â&#x20AC;? WACHS communication, marketing and engagement executive manager Jodie Evans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The competition is open to high school students between 11 and 18 to encourage them to think about culture and where they live and how that relates to local community. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is connectedness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a feeling of belonging to or having affinity with a particular person or group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The theme reflects on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our health and well-being. In particular, how social distancing and being away from our friends, families and loved ones has affected our sense of connectedness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; culturally, socially, emotionally and physically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also want to promote kids learning about culture, history and landscape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that these kids do understand and have that knowledge as part of the program. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important from an indigenous perspective.â&#x20AC;?

With WACHS now hosting clinics in Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Suburbs, the competition will be open to teens in that area as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve opened it up to that area but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have that connection to community; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing,â&#x20AC;? Miss Evans said. In 2018, the Wellington winner was Marissa Stanley who was in Year 8 at St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic School at the time and aged 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her artwork represented earth and land and being connected, represented by the road. It made her realise how much it brought out knowledge of culture and the natural environment to the forefront,â&#x20AC;? Miss Evans explained. This year, the winning artist will receive prize-money and their artwork will be featured in one of the clinics as well as on the cover of the WACHS annual report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a $250 first prize, $100 second prize and $50 third prize,â&#x20AC;? Miss Evans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We promote the winning painting, hanging it in our clinics along with a blurb about the artist and their story.â&#x20AC;? The winner will also be able to sit with a graphic designer as their artwork is converted to digital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to be creative, going from canvas to digital. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite an interesting process involving a graphic designer who shows them how to turn their painting into a digital artwork. The kids get to see their

painting come to life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wellington Arts has also offered us space to exhibit the entries which is a great opportunity for the students to show off their artworks to the community, parents and family.â&#x20AC;? In the past, the corporation has used photos of local elders on the annual report cover, such as the 25th anniversary edition in 2017 which featured Aunty Joyce Williams. Last year, Lesley Ah Seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork was featured after she sadly passed away. The painting represents her journey as the recipient of a heart transplant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be an annual competition unless we are honouring someone from the community and we put in a story,â&#x20AC;? Miss Evans said. The competition has been open since May 27 and closes on July 31. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been open for a month and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already got a few entries.â&#x20AC;? The annual report featuring the winning entry will highlight the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcomes and achievements for the past financial year. It will be available online and presented to WACHS stakeholders. She says the art competition really boosts local youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It encourages them to continue painting and being creative and it will be relevant to their community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good opportunity for them to have their artworks displayed.â&#x20AC;?

has helped him on the mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting messages from people; people are making suggestions. It helps me stay on track. Putting it out there helps me stay on track. Now we are looking at other ways to cut back.â&#x20AC;? According to Mr Grant, cutting out plastic is not as difficult as most people think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the world but it will help. I think we all get into a habit where it becomes part of routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think the task is too big, that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything from it. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much we can do. Just these little things. It all takes time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we make those changes, we are more aware of it. And the bigger the changes, the easier it is to stick to it.â&#x20AC;? Mr Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to others is to start small and work towards the goal of cutting down on plastic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plastic is often quick and easy. Step back and have a look at what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using and how you are using it. Take the challenge.â&#x20AC;? For more information about Plastic Free July, visit: www.plasticfreejuly.org

WHEN Dubbo Regional Councillor David Grant was asked to participate in Plastic Free July, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sure if he was up to the challenge. But he soon realised that every little bit counts and it was a good way to educate himself and his family about ridding the world of plastic pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a huge need to reduce the amount of plastic thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being used day today,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to do our little bit, to look at our habits at home and give awareness to our kids.â&#x20AC;? With a young family, Mr Grant was surprised to see how much waste there was around the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge shock when I realised how much plastic we use. At first it seemed hard, but it was a good way for us to change habits.â&#x20AC;? The Grants are now taking recyclable bags to the shops, buying in bulk, using reusable containers, cutting out individually packaged food and changing the way they pack their lunch for school and work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised by our consumption, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making sure I take my green bags, sandwiches are wrapped in paper and drinking out of cans or reusable bottles instead of single use bottles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are really enjoying it, they are learning while they shop and we are packing fruit, cheese, celery. Fortunately for us, they love fruit and veg. We are even just trying to buy dog food in bulk or a box of washing powder.â&#x20AC;? The concept of Plastic Free July has made Mr Grant more aware and able to change his habits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you wonder why we are putting so much packaging on everything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped us with eating healthy and recycling.

CONNECTING IN THE COUNTRY

Helping rural blokes get unbogged By NATALIE LEWIS ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S hard not to become emotional when considering the high suicide numbers across Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s country communities, with rural men twice as likely as their metropolitan counterparts to take their own lives. In the 20 to 24-year-old age bracket alone, 40 per cent of deaths are by suicide. Enter Mary Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. An agronomist by trade originating from Dalby in Queensland, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more accustomed to talking to farmers about spray drift management than their mental health. But through her friendly manner and frank nature, Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien has forged connections in the rural community that are literally saving lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all started after we lost two guys within two weeks before Christmas in the local area,â&#x20AC;? she said. The tragic double suicide rocked the Darling Downs, with many of the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming counterparts openly questioning what had happened to their friends and why they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have helped. Almost immediately, Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien went from conducting spray application workshops to offering a lifeline to farmers in need of support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I travel around Australia talking to people, so I decided to upskill and found some research in this area,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What psychologists were saying was that we need to get them to open up but they are not wired that way. It was more geared towards women than men. Women talk about feelings, men talk about facts.â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien asked farmers to post an image online of a vehicle that was bogged on their property. It was an analogy for feeling stuck in an emotional sense and had an overwhelming response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you bogged mate? I do care about things apart from spray drift and this is one of them.â&#x20AC;? The tweet went viral and started what would become a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health campaign which has eclipsed rural Australia. It became the basis of what she now shares in her spray drift presentations which feature topics such as what a shitometer looks like and working hard not to redline. Participants are also asked to fill a bucket with balls as a symbol of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bothering them which

is followed by tipping it out to remove the issues. The concept snowballed. Two and a half years later and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you bogged mate?â&#x20AC;? website, social media feeds and speaker bookings for almost a year in advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started getting asked to talk about it,â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just frustrated with what I found. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become mainly what I do.â&#x20AC;? Talking to rural men on a regular basis, Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien believes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to measure how much she has helped. But to know that what she tells people is being heard is enough to get a conversation started and more advice can be sought from there. It helps that she is good at reading people and speaking in their language.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everywhere I go, people seem to love it. Both women and men, I make them laugh, and cry. And they are not ashamed to admit it. They also have a good sense of humour.â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim is to reach out to country blokes, let them know that someone cares, and connect them with further services if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad they know some-

` What psychologists were saying was that we need to get them to open up but they are not wired that way... Women talk about feelings, men talk about facts... a

bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listening, that I will go into bat for them, and I understand the pressures they are under. Whatever the issue is, they often suffer in silence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking to them, I can tell who wants me to help. Sometimes that is just that they need someone to talk to. Some need more help. Whatever the case, I understand them and how they work.â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien believes there is a misconception that if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coping, you are mentally ill. But that is not always the case. Sometimes people just need to have a friend who cares about them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nothing to be ashamed of to ask a friend or neighbour for assistance or to seek professional guidance. Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien likened men-

tal illness to having a broken leg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where it can be fixed with treatment. Leaving it untreated just causes more issues in the long-term. With bookings until June next year, Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien is garnering more and more support for her cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a huge response,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just getting so much coverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now it will just depend on border restrictions.â&#x20AC;? www.areyouboggedmate.com.au Readers seeking support can also contact: z Headspace 1800 650 890 z Lifeline 13 11 14 z Beyond Blue 1300 224 636 z MensLine Australia 1300 789 978

NEWS EXTRA LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Narromine mayor responds to Gin Gin weir criticism The Editor, Having read what I believe to be very misleading advertisements regarding the Gin Gin weir, I feel the truth needs to be told. The new Gin Gin weir is designed to replace the 1919 weir that has not been functional for decades. The new weir is designed to enhance many aspects of river management and the protection of the natural environment. But let’s look at each point made by the ads. No irrigator nor any licence holder is entitled to one more drop of water from the river as a result of this weir being built. Its principle purpose is to save water. When a licence holder orders water, it takes up to ten days before it’s delivered at the northern end of the river. If a significant rain event occurs prior to delivery, then the weir is there to hold that water back and be used for another order rather than simply flow to the Macquarie Marshes. To put things into perspective, irrigators are entitled to an average of 17 per cent of the flow in the river, urban use is approximately 3 per cent, and the balance is the environment. That’s 80 per cent. On any basis it would appear that the irrigators taking this percentage could hardly be described as taking too much. Contrary to the ads, a weir will

help conserve water in the river rather than what the ads claim to suggest that it will mean less water. Clearly a lack of understanding exists in the minds of those who would produce this fiction. To also claim that lifting the river by six metres above the weir will kill old red gums is pure fallacy. The river will not be continuously six metres higher but only in the event of water being caught and held for the next order. All in the name of conserving water. Water is the life blood of both the Warren and Narromine shires and in a full allocation year adds in excess of $80 million to the Dubbo economy. Personally, I gain nothing from the river other than the satisfaction of watching a prosperous and visionary economy grow and young people being given the opportunity for good jobs locally. If we wish to debate the water issue in the Macquarie, let’s do it in the face of honesty, integrity and transparency rather than a biased ideology. Craig Davies Mayor, Narromine Shire Council

Support for Music Bowl at Sir Roden Cutler Park The Editor, I have read with interest the recent letters submitted by Wally Flynn and Garry Braithwaite sup-

porting the music bowl development idea at Sir Roden Cutler Park (SRCP). In the early 1980s my late husband, Raoul Kelly (Citizen Of The Year 1989), suggested to Dubbo City Council (DCC) that the ‘’Carols By Candlelight’’ be held at SRCP as it was a natural amphitheatre and would hold more people than the usual venue, Victoria Park. DCC agreed and with Raoul (who made and installed the spectacular light displays there), Wally Flynn, The Lions Club and many others, the carols were held there successfully for some years, with up to 10,000 attending. In August 1987, in preparation

for the Bicentennial Carols, DCC resolved to appoint a committee with alderman Bal Dohnt, R. Kelly, P. Doran, N. Barnett, W. Brightman, J. MacDonald, W. Mann, R. North, L. Slapp, M. White, B. Wilson and I. Munro. Greg Hamilton drew the first plans, followed later by John Cook. I wrote to DCC and then mayor Tom Slattery suggesting that the old wire fence which surrounded the park be removed to allow easier access for tourists and the community, and that tables, seating and toilets be built on the flat section. The fence was removed as part of the beautification of Dubbo for the Bicentenary in 1988, followed

later by the construction of the amenities. Raoul was also involved with the Bike Safety Committee and the promotion of a cycle track through SRCP to the zoo, and now there is the Tracker Riley Cycleway. I would like to thank Garry Braithwaite for his years of promoting the music bowl concept and expanding on the original plans. I know Raoul would be in favour of encouraging everyone to see the potential of this unique park as an entertainment venue for large outdoor concerts and events for both residents and visitors. Pam Kelly, Dubbo

Taxing matters: Spending my tax matters to me Greg Smart ❚ OPINION I HAVE been paying income tax for the best part of 35 years, always as a salaried employee who dutifully did their annual tax return and kept within the ‘rules’. I always felt paying tax was part of the societal contract we agree to when being part of an educated, healthy and peaceful society. But here we are at tax return time and I’m suddenly agreeing with the late Kerry Packer, who in 1991 declared to the print media parliamentary enquiry, “If anybody in this country doesn’t minimise their tax, they want their head read. As a government I can tell you you’re not spending it that well that we should be paying extra.” Pre-pandemic, the federal Coalition government had been going about its business whilst increasing the gross government debt from $175 billion when elected in September 2013 to $573 billion in March 2020. Viewed in context of what the Coalition labelled a ‘budget emergency’ prior to their election, this is a staggering increase in debt – with little to show for it. The NBN roll-out turned into

a fiasco, and the use of the big 4 consultancy companies (who favour the Coalition with party donations) to do the work of the public service costs billions of dollars. Private school funding has increased in a lopsided formula that sees nearly one in three private schools receive more funding than a similarly sized public school. Under the justification of National Security, defence spending has blown out to 150 per cent of spending of all other departments combined. An elected government obviously believes it has permission to spend money along ideological lines, and the Coalition has certainly done so. But given that Scott Morrison campaigned on the “if you can’t manage money you can’t run the country” line at the last election, we taxpayers should be concerned about two issues when the government spends our money – transparency and value for money. Two recent reviews by the Auditor-General found the government’s spending to be poor value for money and open to conflicts of interest and brought into question the Government’s reliance on ‘limited tenders’. Payments totalling $532 million were paid to a company called Paladin for security and housing of asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea. Paladin, who had no track

eral, and the results were just as damning. The water buyback scheme was found to not be “fully effective” and bureaucrats “did not consistently apply approved policy, planning and guidance” when assessing limited tenders. Water entitlements were purchased directly from the entitlement holder rather than an open tender. Water Minister Barnaby Joyce was found to have directly intervened in the $70 million purchase of overland flow water (during a drought) from Kia-Ora and Clyde cotton farms in Queensland – part of the Cayman Islands-based Eastern Australian Agriculture company, of which Energy Minister Angus Taylor was a founding director. The Senate is now examining the details of the sports rorts scandal, and initial findings confirmed the government was using taxpayer’s money for targeted vote buying (pork barrelling is too soft a description here) in the lead up to the last federal election. Marginal or Coalition electorates were deliberately targeted with largesse ` at the direction of Sport MinisWe taxpayers should ter Bridget McKenzie, with input be concerned about from the Prime Minister’s office. two issues when the Eligibility guidelines were being government spends our overridden, and more revelations money – transparency and of party political use of taxpayer value for money... a money are expected when the Senate enquiry resumes.

record in this field and no experience with traumatised people, was chosen in a limited tender, and commenced operations with no formal contract or performance reviews in place for eight months. Paladin went on to request a 40 per cent profit margin for their services (citing pricing risks due to short time frames – which was denied by the Home Affairs Department) and a $14 million ‘mobilisation fee’ (which was approved due to concerns over Paladin’s access to working capital). The Auditor-General judged key spending benchmarks and financial probity had not been applied properly. No comment was made on the registered address of Paladin being a beach shack on Kangaroo Island, as this would be outside the remit of the Attorney-General. Closer to home, the examination of the Government’s Murray-Darling water buyback scheme came under scrutiny by the Auditor-Gen-

During the COVID-19 pandemic the government has been quietly spending big on outsourcing its response. Pollster Jim Reed was recently gifted $541,000 for three months work for COVID-19 ‘social research and expenses’ through a Morrison Government limited tender. Reed used to work for long time Liberal Party consultant Crosby Textor (who’s ex-CEO just happens to be Morrison’s Principal Private Secretary). Whether this ‘social research’ will be released to the public is unknown. Aspen Medical also has Liberal Party links, boasting former Health Minister Michael Wooldridge on its board. Aspen Medical was contracted for ‘medical services’ following the COVID-19 outbreak at the Newmarch House aged care home in Sydney, and during the quarantine of the Ruby Princess at Port Kembla. In a sign the pandemic is far from over, Aspen Medical is $1.2 billion richer this month, thanks to a limited tender for ‘disease prevention and control’. If I could stop my taxes paying for this crony capitalism and blatant enrichment off the public purse, I would. The imperative for a federal ICAC has never been greater. z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

NEWS EXTRA Councillors, residents respond to south bridge vote

OPINION & ANALYSIS FOLLOWING last week’s report in Dubbo Photo News on proposed designs for a new South Dubbo bridge [“Designs for South Bridge split down the middle”], some Dubbo Regional Councillors have written to Dubbo Photo News to explain their stances. Dubbo Photo News reported that only two of four designs for the proposed South Bridge will be put to the public for community consultation. A push to have all concepts put to the community was debated at last week’s Dubbo Regional Council Infrastructure and Liveability Committee meeting. Councillor David Grant claimed that by only putting half of the concepts to the public, the council was not being “open and transparent”.

Why cause havoc during consultation? The Editor, I’m disgusted at the irresponsible actions of a few councillors that are willing to risk a very good South Bridge infrastructure project for the sake of point scoring. The two options I voted against would plunge Dubbo Regional Council into a fight with both Taronga Western Plains Zoo and the Dubbo Golf Club. Their rubbish idea is to forcibly seize land from the zoo, while running the new bridge road directly facing the Golf Club. How irresponsible is that? The majority of the Councillors understand the problems with this proposal. I’m not sure why they wanted to cause havoc during the consultation period. Some have suggested it is to make the River Street Bridge look good by comparison. Regardless of their motives, any resident of Dubbo knows that road designs like this are plain stupid. Cr Greg Mohr, Chairman of Dubbo Regional Council Infrastructure Committee and Chairman of Dubbo Traffic Committee.

Silly political games Dear Editor I wish to address some concerns that have been raised on why I voted against two options for a South

Bridge at the last Ing frastructure Meeting of Council. To be clear, I wass telected as a represental ative of the Central rd d Ward. Central Ward n-takes in all of resideniss tial South Dubbo. This ryy is an area I know very erry well and that I am very concerned about. n I n, At the last election, outh” stood on a “Save Our South” platform as a result of developers wanting to transform residential South Dubbo with higher amounts of traffic and denser housing stock like blocks of flats. The residents in South Dubbo do not want more traffic and congestion on their roads as most of South Dubbo already has problems with traffic and service provision. The options I opposed sent traffic directly into residential South Dubbo. I believe if we are to build a South Bridge, it must flow traffic into the CBD – not the quiet neighbourhoods of South Dubbo. It is essential that councillors represent the view of their community and not simply throw spanners in the works for silly political games. I deliberately voted to not send traffic through residential South Dubbo. As a councillor, I have an obligation to do as my electors have instructed me. Cr Vicki Etheridge, South Ward Councillor, Dubbo Regional Council

Public should see all four bridge options The Editor, At a face to face meeting with Dubbo mayor Ben Shields, in his office, two years ago, he enthusiastically told me he wanted the new South Bridge to run across Sandy Beach and through the Lady Cutler playing fields. He didn’t want it to go to Tamworth Street because of the flack Council copped during the Save Our South campaign in 2014. Now he’s backtracking and saying he doesn’t have a preferred option, which is what he told Dubbo radio commentator Richard Perno

on Tuesday, July 14. That statement is contrary to one published in the Dubbo print media on December 10, 2019, where it was reported: “Mayor Ben Shields said his preferred crossing was Minore Road to Sandy Beach/Bligh Street.” The mayor wants us to believe he doesn’t have a preference, but the truth is he has wanted the Sandy Beach option from the outset. There were four options for the South Bridge put to Council (this month) by the consultants. The mayor and all but three of the councillors don’t want Dubbo ratepayers to assess all four options. They don’t want Dubbo ratepayers exercising their democratic rights to make up their own minds. In relation to the other two options, the mayor was quoted in Dubbo Photo News last week saying: “It’s so ridiculous. You wouldn’t even put it to the public.” The mayor was critical of the location and supposed cost of the other two options, indicating Council was going for the cheapest rather than the best. The mayor forgets he’s our servant not our master. When we get to have a look at Council’s proposal and have our say on it, it will be interesting to see the response from Club Dubbo, whose diners currently access the best views in town. Club Dubbo will have to change the name of its river view restaurant to ‘ugly bridge view’. Then there’s the dress circle residents of Stonehaven Avenue whose property prices will plummet with the loss of their pristine waterfront views. It’s interesting the Council is prepared to forsake this precious natural beauty spot in the heart of the city simply

to t get the cheapest price for the e South Dubbo river S crossing. c Then there’s the bridge itself; it will b be b crossing over one o of the naturally l deepest sections of o the river. This will w no doubt make it i a tempting place for f kids to dive and jump off. Council j might argue that it will ban this sort of activity and put up signs. But kids intrinsically love a challenge and will do it anyway, possibly at night when it will be harder to find them if they are drowned or maimed. Long term Dubbo residents will remember the death of a 16-yearold boy who accidentally drowned after jumping from the L.H. Ford Bridge in 1992. Wally Flynn might want to discuss with Council how his music bowl will straddle the western approaches to the bridge, and Dubbo’s Aboriginal community might have some questions about the desecration of Sandy Beach and its historically significant heritage. Also to be considered are the families and sporting groups that access the Lady Cutler ovals; how will they manage with freeway traffic roaring though their children’s playground. And where will the parents park when Sandy Beach Road becomes a major thoroughfare? Maybe Council intends to shunt the playing fields to Regand Park and commercially develop Lady Cutler, particularly the Macquarie and Bligh street frontages. Yes, it is flood-prone land, but the precedent has been set with Target and Reading Cinemas. In 2014, Council published a lengthy report outlining details of its proposed Tamworth Street Bridge. All the modelling had been done and it looked like a good option with minimal increases to traffic flow through South Dubbo. Most of the opposition to it at the time was related to the proposed rezoning, which would have allowed commercial development in the area. The original Tamworth Street Bridge had access to

South Street and Bligh Street, so still gave motorists the option of heading into town. One of the key aspects of this original plan was an intersection with Macquarie Street at Tamworth Street providing a direct route to Boundary Road and on through to Sheraton Road. This will no doubt be a popular route for West Dubbo residents wanting to access the Sheraton Road schools and Bunnings. The mayor’s current options will have motorists heading towards the CBD before being able to turn back to Boundary Road. We’re not mugs, we should have a choice of all four options for the bridge, and we shouldn’t be lumbered with the cheapest and ugliest. Steve Hodder, Dubbo •••

Verbal abuse of police should not be allowed

The Editor, I finished reading the article “Why I wore a hemp suit on the bench” (Dubbo Photo News, July 9) with disappointment and anger. Former magistrate David Heilpern stated that verbal abuse of police officers was only “words” and “it should not even be a crime”. Such a statement may be normal for a bogan in the pub, after 10 beers or even just eight, (but not expected from a public official). We should all remember that police, the courts and prisons are part of the law enforcement system, and it will only work well if it is respected by good people and feared by those who are bad. What message will it send to the public if most workers cannot be verbally abused, but police officers can. Of course, imprisonment will not reduce crimes, not imprisonment alone. It’s no deterrent for people who think that when they commit crimes, they expect that they won’t be imprisoned or punished at all. Without police officers, magistrate diplomas will be worth less than a roll of toilet paper in times of prosperity. Ziggy Pierzchalski, Dubbo

Regions need tourists from big cities to survive Chris Minns ❚ OPINION WHEN the Taronga Western Plains Zoo re-opened on June 1 and announced some baby animals would be making their public debut, my wife and I decided our next family trip would be to Dubbo and NSW’s great Central West. If baby rhinos and a litter of Asian small-clawed otter pups can’t entice my three boys off their devices during the school holidays, then nothing will. Setting out in our trusty 2007 Subaru Forrester, our trip took us through Mudgee on the way out and Orange on the way back to Sydney, with three nights staying just outside the city. Every parent knows five hours in a car with a three-year-old and two older brothers is tough.

Between boxing and wrestling bouts in the back seats, my wife and I attempted to point out the sights of the Megalong Valley and the lowlands in and around Lithgow, as we headed over the mountains We played an audiobook of Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ which enticed the boys to imagine the sights outside their windows were really dangerous mountains and forests they must journey through in the company of elves and dwarves, with the threat of goblins around every turn. It worked a treat, delivering some much-needed respite from the noise of constrained kids. With demands for food and toilet stops (always minutes after leaving a major town) we finally made Dubbo after around six hours driving. Western Plains Zoo is incredible. With hire bikes taking the place of a jeep you have the experience of traveling the plains of Africa, encountering incredible animals al-

most as if they are ‘in the wild’. Our kids were taken with giraffes, elephants, lions and hippos just metres from our bikes before we happily moved on to the next enclosure in complete safety. The staff of the zoo have clearly been working hard to meet the challenges of COVID-19 and with a limit on daily numbers. It is essen-

tial that tickets are pre-purchased before you arrive. While the zoo is a world-class conservation and scientific research centre, it is also a worldclass tourist drawcard bringing millions of dollars into the regional economy. And never has the power of the Western Plains Zoo to attract a crowd been more

important. IBIS World recently reported they expect 7000 Australian tourism businesses to collapse as a result of COVID–19 and the lack of international tourists will wipe out as much as 0.7 per cent of our GDP. If regional communities are to survive they will need tourists from big Australian cities. With COVID-19 destroying international tourism and the potential for further restrictions on interstate travel, a trip to the Central West of NSW – spending your money while you go – is a great thing for yourself, your family and regional communities doing it tough. It is difficult to convey the sense of fun and adventure we had during our holiday. But one thing is for sure – I am encouraging everyone I know in Sydney to drive west for their next great family holiday. z Chris Minns is the Member for Kogarah in the NSW Parliament and the Shadow Minister for Transport and Corrections.

Cashless society claiming victims By JOHN RYAN

JOAN Boyle says the move towards a cashless society is claiming its first victims. The Dubbo pensioner is concerned her freedoms and way of life are at risk and says COVID-19 is allowing many of those freedoms to be taken away. Mrs Boyle was brought up to value money and only buy things when she had the cash to pay, now she believes that very way of life is under threat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went out to the zoo and went to renew my Zoo Friends membership and I put the money on the counter, and they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it. Then, I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use my chequebook and the staff member asked if they could take my cheque and she was told â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a cheque,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Boyle told Dubbo Photo News. Things were about to be become even more frustrating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I was standing there waiting for information, I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go and get something to eat, but oh no, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay by cash, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all card and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a card,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of older ladies and men that are in the same situation. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid cash all our lives and it is legal tender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A friend and I were out another time and decided we wanted a curry pie and they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take his money and he came out and I

asked what happened and he told me they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take cash.â&#x20AC;? Taronga Western Plains Zoo has supplied Dubbo Photo News with information surrounding the cash issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not accepting cash at this current time due to COVID-19 safety restrictions,â&#x20AC;? a spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is displayed at the registers as well as being noted in the changes to the Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation on our website. Due to the current COVID-19 safety restrictions, all visitors are required to purchase tickets online and attend the Zoo on their selected date only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tickets are not be available for purchase at the gate. Zoo Friend members also need to register their visit online prior to their selected date they wish to visit the Zoo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are unable to accommodate cash payments as we are only accepting cashless payments such as credit card or debit cards at this time.â&#x20AC;? The zoo spokesperson said that despite a very busy time over the recent school holidays, there were only a handful of people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wanted to pay with cash. Mrs Boyle said she understands that concerns around COVID-19 transmissions have forced businesses and organisations to regulate things that used to be simple everyday acts to protect themselves, their staff and their

customers. She believes there needs to be a way to include people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only ever paid with folding money and want to continue doing things that way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Older people are used to paying by money and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m that way because when you pay by money you can look and see how much youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got left in your purse or wallet,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen younger people in supermarkets and they grab this and that and they get to the checkout and tap the card, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a receipt, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got no idea what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find themselves in trouble, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they?â&#x20AC;? She pointed to the disaster that befell Sweden, a nation that is often referred to as the most cashless country in the world. Sweden decided to let the market dictate the demand for cash so businesses were able to refuse cash and banks could pull out ATMs and end cash services at branches, but according to the Combined Pensioners and Superannuants Association (CPSA), the rapid pace of this transition caused a major backlash. Older people and people with disabilities in particular struggled with the quick change, with many unable to do their normal shopping because they had nowhere to withdraw cash, according to the CPSA which also says the experi-

ence has prompted a new Swedish law that requires banks to provide a minimal level of cash withdrawal services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australia must learn from the mistakes of Sweden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cash must stay, it should happen here as well,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Boyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at the supermarkets, you can pay cash there and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re handling the food you eat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much inconsistency in all the regulations? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally think that they just want to make this a cashless society so they can say you do this, you do that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m one that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being told you do this, or you do that.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worried that having no access to cash means banks could freeze peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money and citizens could be left helpless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use a computer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m stupid, the lessons just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay in my mind, and when you get older itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more difficult to pick things up,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the competitions these days, they all think that everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a computer and many older people are being excluded in that area and now with cash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with computers and digital money and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been brought up with it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got no problems there, but when you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (been brought up with it), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult.â&#x20AC;? Parkes MP Mark Coulton says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no laws against a business

Jean Boyle has paid cash for things all her life and believes the COVID-19 crisis is allowing government and business to steer Australia towards a cashless society â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a move she says is dangerous in the extreme. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

refusing to accept cash for goods and services and told Dubbo Photo News that businesses are within their rights to set the commercial terms upon which payment will take place before the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;contractâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for supply of goods or services is entered into. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I note that many local businesses in the Parkes electorate have moved towards accepting card-only payments as they work to minimise interaction between employees and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic,â&#x20AC;? Mr Coulton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important we work with those businesses who are doing their best to limit physical contact to keep us all safe.â&#x20AC;? He said people who need clarification on particular financial matters should obtain appropriate legal advice.

Cycling sisters support RFDS TWO NSW women are venturing into the Australian bush and cycling from Nowra to Nymagee to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) South Eastern Section. Twin sisters Dianne and Suzy have been fundraising for the Flying Doctor since 1996 when the service assisted Dianne along with a group of fellow cyclists crossing the Nullabor Plains. "The Flying Doctor is one of the most trusted charities in Australia and provides life-saving services for people in rural and remote Australia, and we wanted to use our passion for cycling to give back," Dianne said. Dianne lives in Nowra and Suzy lives in Manly Vale, so the Australian bush is a far cry from home for both of them. Dianne began her cycle from her home in Nowra, riding to Bungendore and then Wallendbeen near Cootamundra where her sister Suzy joined the ride. "Riding through the bush is wonderful. People talk to you as you travel, often offering you water or a cuppa along the road. When people find out that you are raising money for the Flying Doctor, their doors open, and they are so appreciative of what you are doing." With National Farm Safety Week being observed this week, many bush people are reflecting on how the RFDS has saved so many lives after workplace accidents and misadventures on western farms.

Dianne and Suzy have already tackled Young, Forbes, Grenfell, Trundle, and Bogan Gate in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central West. Next on the list is Albert followed by Tullamore, Tottenham, Bobbadah, and Nymagee, all remote areas in New South Wales serviced by the Flying Doctor. "After Tottenham, we will ride on dirt to the geographical centre of NSW then onto Nymagee, between Condobolin and Cobar, where we will volunteer to assist station owners in a myriad of jobs." Dianne and Suzy say they are looking forward to meeting people of the outback and "raising as much money as we can to make a difference to someone in outback Australia that RFDS cares for." By the time Dianne and Suzy ar-

rive in Nymagee, they will have cycled over 800km. Currently, the pair are cycling along remote highways between Trundle and Albert and have been staying the night at hotels in the towns they visit to support the local communities. "We are carrying our tent, sleeping bags, stove, very few clothes

and our first aid kit. Generally, we will ride 20-30kms then have a break and something to eat to keep fuelled up. We hope to inspire other women to keep fit, explore new places and achieve their dreams!â&#x20AC;? You can follow along and donate here: tinyurl.com/RFDS-bikeride

Narromineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cottage Craft is a huge hit with travellers as well as locals. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED.

NARROMINE Cottage Craft was started in 1989 and Maryan Johnston said the organisation is very proud to be celebrating 30 years of continuous service to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a not-for-profit co-op and each year donate money to our local schools and charities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have managed to survive through several droughts and economic hard times, but this Coronavirus has been the hardest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After three months of lockdown we were excited to reopen on June 29 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we took advantage of the closure to do repairs and give the shop a good spring clean, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now looking better than ever.â&#x20AC;? The outlet has all kinds of handcrafted goods including knitting, sewing, jewellery, painting, pot-

tery, plants, cooking, gifts for all occasions and all ages. Thanks to the cooler weather, this month the cottageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main focus is on winter woollies such as jumpers, scarves, socks, shawls and all things knitted or crocheted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The baby and toddler gift section is stocked year round with wonderful items from the smallest booties to beautiful shawls and quilts and the local pickles and jams are very popular, especially with travellers, as are the cakes and slices,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Johnston said. Hildred Oliver moved to Narromine from Cowra more than 30 years ago and said her hometown had a co-op craft shop, so she called a meeting to get one started in her new home and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back.

Dubbo Photo News July 23-29, 2020

Putting a smile on his NEIGHbours’ faces By SOPHIA ROUSE WHEN asked why Brian Pickett bought a wooden horse from an auction, he replied “I simply liked him.” Never did he think that the whole of Kintyre Village would grow to love “Ned”. DURING the COVID-19 lockdown Mr Pickett put Ned in a different spot around the village every day to see what sort of interest it would create. “People are out walking around looking for him on a daily basis. People dress him up! He’s had rugs, scarfs, mugs, hats and bears riding him. He’s been everywhere and he gets into some

funny places”, he told Dubbo Photo News. WITH all the positive feedback, Mr Pickett decided to continue the fun. “I started a new idea that if it’s your birthday, you get Ned put out the front with a special hat. For a lady, he’s got a lady’s hat and for a man he gets a man’s hat.” DURING a very confusing time, Mr Pickett and Ned have put many smiles on resident’s faces and also kept himself fit. “It’s getting me out and about and doing a bit of extra exercise as well. It’s been a plain and simple little thing that has made a lot of people happy.”

It all boils down to love By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY Macquarie Inn head chef Kel Anderson’s father uses that indispensable service, Meals on Wheels, like hundreds of others around the region, reliant on a hot meal delivered when they need it but also a chance to see a friendly face and retain a sense of community along with it. When restaurants, hotels, clubs and cafes went into total lock down earlier in the year, not only did it see the iconic hotel’s staff, including Ms Anderson, immediately without income, ineligible for Jobkeeper, but also, a mountain of food suddenly with no plates to fill. “We had boxes and boxes of food. We made up care packages for our staff who were out of work and because I knew about Meals on Wheels through my dad, we offered food to them as well,” Ms Anderson said. In fact, many local outlets found themselves in the same boat, including Club Dubbo, Garden Hotel, Lazy River Estate and the Pastoral Hotel, and all took the same approach to their food stores. “Some of them gave us salmon, meat, fresh produce; boxes and boxes and boxes of produce,” Meals on Wheels service manager Peter English told Dubbo Photo News. “They were shutting their kitchens down straight away. The Mac Inn, the Pastoral; they weren’t opening. It was come and get it or we’re throwing it out. “They didn’t want to see any waste,” he said. Scott’s Parts Plus also loaned the use of a coolroom to store the huge quantities of produce. “We don’t have coolrooms we have plenty of freezers but no coolrooms,” Mr English said. The Meals on Wheels board has wanted to thank each and every one but didn’t want

to just write a letter or give a certificate of appreciation. “The board just wanted to make it really public that these businesses are doing it tough and they need to be helped too. “It’s hard to just target those half a dozen. Every business is in the same boat. But these one’s particularly thought of us. The businesses who were going into virtual lockdown the first-time round, they were cognisant of people who were in need. We just want to thank them publicly,” Mr English said. As new restrictions come into play, outlets like the Macquarie Inn are adapting, fortunate enough spread their bistro dining tables into the function rooms and offering takeaway for patrons wishing to eat at home. The Lion’s Pride which makes meals for Meals on Wheels can currently only have 16 people inside their restaurant. “They can have 30 outside. Those sort of restrictions are becoming unviable. Fair enough when it’s lovely days outside right now, and you can have a few people outside, but come 6 o’clock when it’s cold, they won’t be,” Mr English said. “Last week, they were getting 50, 60, 70, 80 meals every night basically, so now they’re back to 16. It’s really important to support these businesses. It’s going to be a long haul, I think. “We’re reasonably fortunate. We’re funded by the Australian Government, but a lot of businesses, who rely on patronage, people walking through the door, I don’t know how we support them other than publicly, through stories like this in Dubbo Photo News,” he said. “We want to acknowledge these businesses who supported us when things were going pear-shaped for them back in March. Let’s hope history does not repeat itself in next couple of months.”

SUDOKU EXTRA

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

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

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION STRANGE BUT TRUE z Sir Cecil Chubb, a wealthy and highly respected barrister, really raised the bar for birthday gifts when he purchased Stonehenge (yes, you read that right) for his wife after World War I. But was she suitably impressed? Apparently not – what she actually wanted that year was curtains! z Caffeine doesn’t just help you stay awake. It also serves the function of a pesticide in the coffee plant. z Due to the humid and moist conditions that a sloth lives in, moss and other similar plants will sometimes grow in its hair. Sloths also have very poor eyesight. Those two factors can sometimes culminate in a sloth grabbing its own arm, thinking it’s a branch, and falling to its death. z During the Elizabethan era, coal tar was used as mascara, eyebrow pencil and eyeliner... despite the fact

it’s ﬂammable, has a bad smell and caused blindness. z A reporter, commenting to Gene Roddenberry on the casting of Patrick Stewart in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” said, “Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness.” Replied Roddenberry: “No, by the 24th century, no one will care.” z High-frequency sounds enhance the sweetness in food, while low frequencies bring out the bitterness. z Only one McDonald’s in the world has turquoise arches. Government officials in Sedona, Arizona, thought the yellow would look bad with the natural red rock of the city. z In 1910, Virginia Woolf and her friends donned costumes and fake beards in order to convince the Royal Navy they were a group of Abyssinian princes, pulling off what became known as the

“Dreadnought Hoax” and earning a 40-minute guided tour of the ship.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z If you go to a garage sale and an item catches your eye, don’t be afraid to haggle. If the owner can’t agree to your price, give them your name and phone number. If it doesn’t sell, the seller might be ready to accept a lower price. z “You can sprinkle a bit of baking soda on your porcelain sinks for a non-harsh scrub. It serves a double purpose, because it will also freshen and absorb odours, then get washed right down the drain!” – M.M. z Wash and save yoghurt cups for kids to use for painting. You can set several in a shallow baking tray to keep them together and upright. z “I have a beautiful glass window in my front door. Unfortunately, once a day, the sun comes stream-

ing through it and seems to magnify. I have a couple of hooks that are backed by suction cups. I can hang a garden ﬂag from the hooks to cover the window. Sometimes I even use it at night for privacy. It still looks pretty from the other side if I don’t take it down, and it didn’t involve any holes in my door!” – W.D. z Make-up bags make the perfect place to stash extra cords and accessories for your computer or other devices. Put them in a basket and all your tech will stay orderly. z Car Wash Tips: Use a soap that’s made for vehicles, because it’s less likely to strip the protective coating off your paint. Don’t wash in full sun if possible. If you must, then work in small sections to keep soap from drying on the car. Rinse off your sponge regularly – the dirt and grime can scratch the surface. Use a microﬁber cloth to dry.

Roos leave Bulldogs barking at their tails By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DUBBO Kangaroos got their 2020 season off to a flying start against defending premiers Bathurst Bulldogs on Saturday. By winning all grades over their arch-rivals, the Roos regained the cherished Ken Laird Trophy, named in honour of the Life member of both clubs. Coaches Beau Robinson and Vince Gordon were delighted the delayed start to the Central West competition hadn’t dulled the pre-season strength and conditioning and skills sessions. For the first time in a number of seasons the local XV boasts a powerful front row with plenty of back-up and they laid the platform for a stunning display by one of the fastest sets of backs the club has seen. Halves Hamish Gordon and Jake Styles fed slick ball to centres Filisone Pauta and a slimmeddown Johnny Mafiti. Blue Bull’ Winger Tim Beach showed blinding speed to cross three times, Moa Kavaefiafi turned the defence inside out to give flanker Will Archer a clear run to the line and then rookie fullback Jayden Blake exploded through centre field to set up Beach’s third for the afternoon. The Dubbo boys face an almost totally rebuilt Orange City Lions this Saturday in what will be a litmus test for their season Right: Irish lock Ronan Scott added class to the tight ﬁve Far right: Jake Styles has slotted in at playmaker like a seasoned veteran. Originally from Mudgee he brings good vision and his strength allows him to take on the line and create phases as other options close.

TURF’S UP! By JOHN RYAN JEFF Costello is well-known as a bloke who’s played many sports in the city but in his day job, he ‘paves’ the way for them. Classic Sporting Facilities has been laying all sorts of artificial grass, or AstroTurf, around the region for years and this week Dubbo Photo News caught up with “JC” after rain held up the final courts he’s

lying in central Dubbo. “We’re resurfacing some courts at Paramount that were done about 12 years ago. This time we’re doing five courts,” Mr Costello said. “Paramount’s always been a great club, it’s always been my club. We played a lot of tennis on the old courts at Elston Park and it’s been a great club for a long time, very well run, very good administrators and it’s good to see them doing so

well.” Mr Costello says tennis has waned in Australia over the years, from a time decades ago when a huge per centage of Aussie Vegemites grew up with racquets in their hands. “I played tennis from the time I was six till 60-odd and it’s a sport you can always go back to,” he said. “It’s a shame because it’s a great family sport, I can’t understand

why more people don’t play it, especially as family units.” With the COVID-19 pandemic creating disruptions for supply chains across the globe, he’s pleased he’s able to continue to source Aussie-made turf. “We buy all our carpet from the same Sydney company we’ve dealt with for 20 years, they’ve always been good, they make it in Botany, it’s actually made in the facto-

ry there,” he said while looking at his handiwork, the last courts to be done finished in a striking colour scheme. “It’s great, yeah, it makes it stand out. We did some blue courts at Scone, blue courts down at the Macquarie Club, we’ve got the terracotta and the green here and the contrast with these courts is very good; looks very nice,” he said.

Harnessing that Volunteer spirit By GEOFF MANN: TWO people who harness their energy and drive a local sporting club have earned the respect of everyone in the west involved in the trotting industry. Virginia and Len Edwards are always on the go but never too busy

to stop and have a chat. Their passion is obvious; their love of horses and people inseparable. Together with long-serving committee members like Jack and Rob Shanks, the Lews, Pays, Phipps’s, Reynolds and innumerable others they’ve taken the Dubbo club from humble beginnings to one of the

leading outfits in regional NSW. Sport and our community owe a vote of thanks to these effervescent volunteers. Get along to the Dubbo Harness Racing track at the Showground as soon as the COVID shutters go up and show your appreciation to Mr and Mrs E.
