CARING COPS

By JOHN RYAN When most Dubbo residents are eating take-away and chilling out on Friday nights, many local police are away from their families, volunteering their time to feed and entertain some of the city’s most vulnerable and maligned kids.

Up to 170 children, many from dysfunctional and underprivileged backgrounds, turn up to Dubbo PCYC every Friday night and eat a nutritious meal served up by police and other community volunteers before they go off to play video games, kick and throw balls on the basketball court, then finishing

up working off their excess energy in the gymnastics hall.

Most of these kids are now mates with local police – they’ve formed plenty of real relationships thanks to Orana Mid-Western Police District superintendent Peter McKenna devoting adequate resources to allow this to happen.

This Saturday, September 19, is ‘Thank a Cop Day’. Thank you to all the blokes and girls in Blue.

Pictured at the PCYC soccer goals are Ian Burns, Sally Treacey, Craig Fleeton and Sean Jones.

GETTING told by a bunch of ‘old’ people what’s good for you has been the bane of youth since time began, so the NSW Government has created an opportunity for 18 youth representing rural and regional NSW, aged 12 to 24, to join the 2021 Regional Youth Taskforce and tackle issues such getting a job, transport, mental health, housing and homelessness. “We want to see applications from everybody. It’s not just about the best and brightest, firsthand experience is key here and will mean you can tell us what you think will really work for our region and the young people who live here,� Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said of the NSW Government-sponsored program. “This taskforce will play a key role in helping the government develop youth policies and platforms and will provide an avenue for us to learn about the issues confronting our younger constituents.�

Minister for Regional Youth Bronnie Taylor is encouraged by the responses to date, and wants youth to know there’s still time to apply by the October 18 cut-off date. “As the first Minister for Regional Youth, I want young people in our regions to know that this is your chance to be heard, to champion your local causes,

represent your friends and classmates, and be involved in the decisions that help to create change in your hometown,� Minister Taylor said. “We want local voices participating in this taskforce. As a government we need to listen to young people, we want to understand what services and support would help them prosper.�

Mrs Taylor said the Taskforce will meet regularly and provide direct advice to NSW Government agencies, the Office for Regional

NSW and Cabinet on state-wide policy decisions and local plans.

Over the course of the year the Regional Youth Taskforce will focus on the pillars of the Regional Youth Framework, which are wellbeing, connectivity, work ready and community.

Throughout the year members will be consulted and invited to contribute to various government policies.

The second Regional Youth Taskforce will be appointed from January 2021 until December 31,

2021. Over this period the Taskforce will have four meetings with Minister Taylor in various locations around NSW, either online or in person.

Members will have their transport, food and accommodation costs covered. Meetings will be scheduled to take place on weekends or in school holidays.

To find out more or submit an application, visit www.nsw.gov. au/RegionalYouthTaskforce. Applications are open until 11.59pm on Sunday, October 18.

THROUGH GABRIELLE’S LENS DUBBO College Senior Campus HSC photography student Gabrielle O’Neill submitted self-portraits for her major work this year with stunning results, as this photo from her series shows.

Gabrielle told Dubbo Photo News she was heavily inspired by photographer Derrick Freske and his use of light and colour within his works.

“Currently, I am completing my childcare certificate but wish to become a teacher’s aid in the near future.

“Photography has always been a passion of mine ever since my mum bought me a pink digital Kodak camera when I was in Year 5.

“I love photographing landscapes, animals and portraits,” she said.

COVER STORY

Dubbo Hospital stuff-ups spark inquiry

By JOHN RYAN NATIONAL media scrutiny has coerced the NSW parliament to launch an inquiry into an alleged culture of dysfunction, cover-up and secrecy in the health system.

The state opposition secured the numbers in the chamber on Tuesday, ensuring the wide-ranging examination is tasked to put issues such as staff shortages, budget constraints from both state and federal governments, and strategic health planning under the spotlight.

Opposition leader Jodi McKay said the parliamentary inquiry

is desperately needed and long overdue.

“Health outcomes should not be determined by postcodes. We need to do much better for families living in regional NSW,” Ms McKay said.

“This is about equality, fairness and a fundamental right to healthcare.

“The state of healthcare across rural and regional communities is appalling. It’s a systemic crisis that must be addressed now.”

Labor first called for an urgent inquiry into rural and regional health in October last year, since then, the significant disparity in

health outcomes between the city and country areas was laid bare in data from the Public Health Information Development Unit which showed avoidable deaths can be twice as likely in rural and regional communities when compared to cities.

Other findings from that data included identifying the median age of death for those in Sydney (79) is more than a decade higher than residents in our most remote communities (66) and that the highest rates of preventable hospitalisation and preventable chronic disease are in regional and rural areas.

Shadow health minister Ryan Park said it’s no secret rural and regional hospitals are overstretched and under resourced.

“The health system can’t cope with the growing cuts and cost blowouts from the Liberals and Nationals. I hope this Parliamentary Inquiry is the wake-up call the government needs to address the dysfunctional state of rural and regional health in NSW,” Mr Park said.

Shadow Minister for Rural Health Kate Washington said doctors and healthcare workers across regional and rural NSW have gone above and beyond to do the best

POWER PRICING

they can with what they have.

“But the reality is, there’s a severe lack of funding and shocking staff shortages. After nine years in Government, the Liberals and Nationals are responsible for this mess,” she said.

Labor said an Auditor-General’s inquiry revealed at least three regional projects are already over budget or with missed deadlines, with $2.2 billion blowouts in health and hospital projects including at the Dubbo and Macksville Hospitals.

September 17-23, 2020 Dubbo Photo News

Dubbo Photos News has been inundated with reader stories about distressing encounters at Dubbo Hospital

Mending the sick Dubbo Hospital

By LYDIA PEDRANA FOLLOWING disturbing revelations in the national media about deaths and near misses in regional hospitals, Dubbo Photo News has received an overwhelming number of recounts of worrying experiences at Dubbo Hospital.

People from around the region have shared horror stories about missed broken bones, undiagnosed meningitis, testing failures and lost lives, proving incidents brought to light in media coverage last weekend are not isolated.

In an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday, a leaked email from a doctor to Dubbo Hospital management stated he came across 2000 unchecked test results at the hospital in one week.

The doctor was later sacked after being “unsupportive” of his colleagues.

On Sunday night, a 60 Minutes exposé saw veteran reporter Liz Hayes investigate the heartbreaking, premature death of her own father in another rural hospital.

Responsible for operating and overseeing the public health services provided by Dubbo Base Hospital, the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) has fallen on its sword, admitting errors were made in relation to the thousands of unchecked test results and the dismissal of the doctor who raised concerns.

“The RCA (Root Cause Analysis) in this instance identified that electronic medical record systems for diagnostic reports were not being used appropriately,” a WNSWLHD spokesperson said in a media statement.

“We have taken on board the learnings from this process and have implemented measures to ensure that results are appropriately checked.

“We have also introduced the ‘Speaking Up for Safety’ program in our District which encourages everyone in our teams to be an advocate for patient safety,” the statement continued.

“We have also introduced the REACH program which allows families concerned about whether there is an unexplained deterioration of their loved one to request a review.”

The spokesperson went on

to note that “most patients” in WNSWLHD hospitals have “good clinical outcomes and good experience in our hospitals, including Dubbo”.

The most recent Bureau of Health Information ‘Healthcare in Focus’ report revealed 74 per cent of patients rated their overall inpatient care as ‘very good’, but results also indicated the need for better communication between staff and patients.

“In response to this feedback, the district has introduced a new approach to clinical handovers which now occur with the involvement of the patient, as well as their carer when appropriate,” the WNSWLHD spokesperson said.

While the new processes implemented by the WNSWLHD sound promising, they come too late for many locals who have watched family members suffer as a result of systemic errors and mismanagement at the Dubbo Base Hospital.

Keryn Hill told Dubbo Photo News her eight-year-old autistic son walked around on a broken leg for a month after missed X-ray results.

Insisting her son was in pain, he was discharged from hospital with a support bandage and crutches.

“He couldn’t even walk on the crutches, we were told he was faking it and it didn’t matter if couldn’t use the crutches as they were happy for him to weight

bear,” Mrs Hill said.

“Three days later the emergency department rang and noted he had a Meyers and McKeever type one eminence fracture; the kind of fracture that requires his leg to not bend or move at the knee at all to heal.”

Despite demanding a full leg cast for her son, Mrs Hill said she was “ignored”, and her son was discharged a second time with an ill-fitting leg brace, only to return to the fracture clinic three weeks later for an X-ray that revealed the fracture hadn’t begun to heal.

A full leg cast was fitted this time.

“My son had to walk around for a month with a broken leg before he got a cast due to Dubbo Hospital’s (treatment) and we couldn’t even get an apology,” Mrs Hill said.

Erika Tucker claims she was never taken seriously, which resulted in the death of her first child just after he was born.

“The doctors at Dubbo Base would come to the conclusion I needed to be sent to Sydney to deliver my little boy before things got dangerous, but then came back in a little while later to say that they weren’t going to do that anymore,” she said.

“This happened a couple times when a couple of red flags were bought up such as a drop in growth rate and another episode where his heart rate was spiking

and dropping dramatically, and they ignored the signs.”

Two days later, Mrs Tucker’s waters broke and by the time she arrived at hospital, her son had died.

“The autopsy stated my son had a stroke and had died within 24 hours of being born,” she explained.

She referred to “multiple different occasions” when she felt her worries were ignored, leading up to her son passing away.

Mrs Tucker did note there were many staff who provided excellent care and support, but many seemed “too stressed or overworked”.

She believes more staff would help eliminate mistakes and increase levels of care.

In another case of alleged mistreatment, Kodie Stirling’s threeyear-old son had been suffering high fevers, a rash, lethargy and a strawberry tongue, something her GP suspected was Kawasaki Disease.

“I took him to the (Dubbo) hospital and was sent home several times with no answers,” she recalled.

“They gave my son a full dose of penicillin with no effect, treating for possible strep throat.

“After eight days of a very sick child with high temperatures, I called the hospital again to advise he is still having temps and they told me he must have another virus, just keep giving him Panadol,

denying any claims of him having Kawasaki disease as he didn’t have every single symptom.”

Feeling “dismissed”, Mrs Stirling drove her son to Orange Hospital where a blood test confirmed Kawasaki Disease and his C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were at “heart attack levels”.

Mrs Stirling’s son was given a blood transfusion at Orange Hospital, before spending weeks at Westmead Children’s Hospital for further treatment.

Once recovered, Mrs Stirling scheduled a meeting with the doctor from Dubbo Hospital, who initially sent them on their way, to hold him “accountable”.

“When we arrived for the meeting, we were told the doctor isn’t coming as he isn’t ‘mentally’ prepared to talk to you,” she recounted.

“I could have lost my son, but the doctor wasn’t mentally prepared.”

Meanwhile, Kellee Parkes said her partner, Rod Cutter, who was suffering meningitis, was turned away from the Dubbo Hospital Emergency Department several times with his condition being diagnosed as a cold or flu.

“When he became so neurologically impaired, his local GP had to write a letter to the emergency department to help me get him admitted and properly looked at,” Ms Parkes said.

“The time from first time appearing to actual hospital admission was too long and has made me question whether the delay has resulted in all the post meningitis complications he now experiences.”

Ms Parkes said that Mr Cutter was “extremely happy with his care once in hospital as the nurses and doctors were great, but it was the process and delay in care that was the problem”.

Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said he was “shocked and appalled” by the admissions made in recent mainstream media coverage relating to the treatment of patients at Dubbo Base Hospital.

“My heart goes out to the families that have been involved,” Mr Saunders said in a statement.

“I had no knowledge of these matters prior to the stories being made public and have spoken to management of the Western NSW Local Health District to seek fur-

Dubbo Photo News September 17-23, 2020 ther information,” he said.

Mr Saunders has also sought a meeting with NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard to discuss the issues raised. On Tuesday this week, the NSW parliament launched an inquiry into the state’s health system, tasked with examining issues such as staff shortages and budget constraints. See our report on page 3.

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, also expressed his sympathy and sorrow to patients and their families, describing the media reports as “deeply troubling”.

He added, “The overwhelming majority of patients accessing health services in Western NSW are receiving exceptional care.”

But the issue of short staffing in regional and rural hospitals seems to be the main concern among respected medical bodies.

President of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) NSW, Dr Danielle McMullen, said they have consistently campaigned to ensure that the capacity of hospitals throughout the state meets the needs of the people who need their care.

“We know that demand for hospital services is growing faster than the population, and this places our health system under significant strain when available resources don’t grow equally quickly,” Dr McMullen said.

Similarly, the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association (NSWNMA) has urged the Berejiklian Government to allocate extra nurses and midwives across the State and backed calls for a public inquiry into the inequities of rural and regional health services.

“On behalf of our members, we are certainly open to the NSW

Rod Cutter had meningitis when Dubbo Base Hospital staff diagnosed him with a cold or flu.

Opposition’s proposal for a public inquiry into rural and regional health in NSW,” NSWNMA General Secretary Brett Holmes said.

“There are plenty of short-staffing concerns in these health settings, as well as the myriad of pressures nurses and midwives face as they try to deliver the best acute care in our regional hospitals.”

The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) echoed the push for more investment in the rural health system, and particularly the rural health workforce.

“A key way to improve regional health systems is not only to invest more in ‘bricks and mortar’ regional and rural hospitals and health facilities (although this is important), but also in recruiting and training the future health workforce that will underpin them,” RDAA CEO Peta Rutherford, said.

“As an example, initiatives like the Federal Government’s Na-

Keryn Hill’s eight-year-old autistic son (pictured) walked on a broken leg after the fracture in an x-ray was missed. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

tional Rural Generalist Pathway – a program which is training the next generation of the right doctors with the right skills to meet the specific needs of rural communities – will be a key part of the rural medical workforce solution in the coming years.”

Ms Rutherford also said adverse patient outcomes can occur in all hospitals regardless of the location, and all tragic incidents must be investigated for lessons to be learned from system and human error.

It must be noted that while the majority of our readers’ stories about the Dubbo Hospital were unfavourable, some shed glimmers of hope.

Tiffany Patterson had an emergency caesarean which led to complications for both mother and son and eight days in hospital.

Mrs Patterson only has “good things” to say about the high level of care she received, noting that staff were thorough with di-

agnostic testing and “never gave up” trying to find answers.

“Doctors have shown genuine concern and interest in us as people and as worried parents,” she said.

“I can’t say just how grateful I am to have such a great medical team.”

Michelle Coughlin also shared her gratitude for the support she received from Dubbo Hospital staff after her 29-year-old son committed suicide earlier this year.

“The staff were fantastic and made a bad situation easier to deal with,” she said. “(They) let us spend as much time with him as we needed and made sure we were supported by social workers, staff, the police, and fed us so we could stay with him.”

Under the National Health Reform Agreement, the Australian Government contributed $216.5 million of Activity Based Funding to the WNSWLHD in 201920, while the NSW Government contributed $228.6 million in the same period.

According to the WNSWLHD, the 2019-20 budget for the Dubbo Health Service was more than $125 million.

The $150 million Dubbo Hospital Redevelopment Stages 3 and 4 was funded by the NSW Government and is being delivered by NSW Health Infrastructure and WNSWLHD. z We were unable to publish dozens of other stories shared with us for this story, however Dubbo Photo News would like to sincerely thank everyone who contacted us with their very personal stories.

Sun setting on a Golden era

TRIVIA TEST 1 2

By JOHN RYAN

WHEN Dubbo Photo News caught up with Golden West Automotive dealer principal Michael Adams, his first words were about how his staff would be affected by the impending closure of the car dealership.

He said they were like a family.

“The staff have been unbelievable, ever since the announcement they’ve worked extra hard, through the COVID months they’ve worked hard, they’ve worked on rosters and done whatever they’ve had to and that’s the saddest thing, that for all their hard work we’re not going to go on. They have just stood up to this whole process and been supportive of me and the business and our customers,” Mr Adams said.

He said the sledgehammer blows bashing his business have been relentless.

At the beginning of the year General Motors announced that they were withdrawing from the Australian market and withdrawing the Holden brand – that ‘Holden’ was to be no more –which meant Golden West was faced with the dilemma of losing the biggest percentage of its business.

“While we would continue to have parts and service, that’s all driven off the sales front and when we lost that the majority of our business has gone,” he said.

“We still had Honda and Renault but not long after General Motors made the Holden announcement, Honda made the announcement that they were changing their business model to an agency model which was going to have the effect of halving the business that it did – from 40,000 units a year to 20,000 – and in a country area all that meant for me was that I was going to lose half my business.

“That left me faced with a business that had been decimated by decisions outside of our control.

I’ve tried very, very hard to secure some other franchises but due to COVID more than anything else there’s nothing happening in that space. I haven’t been able to secure anything that would support the business and the staff here,” Mr Adams said He said that had left him in the untenable position that, if he continued with business as usual, he’d go broke and the business would close eventually anyhow,

Golden West’s Michael Adams says he’s disappointed the business has to close, but said corporate and international factors outside his control, coupled with the uncertainty caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, had made the dealership unviable almost overnight. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

so he said he took the harsh but necessary decision to close.

Currently employing up to 35 people, he says there has to be a high turnover each week just to find money to pay the workers.

“The wage bill alone is high, rents are very high, it’s a cash-hungry business, our inventory costs are very high, so you need to generate large income and we work on a very skinny margin. People mightn’t think that but the margin that we get out of a motor car for the investment is quite low,” Mr Adams said.

“I had to pick a date so I figured the end of October gives me time to give the staff notice and gives me time at the end of the year to mop up what needs to be mopped up afterwards. There’s a lot of plant and equipment here that’ll need to be disposed of and we need accounts settled and all that sort of stuff – and we run out of JobKeeper.

“I have no worries about our staff finding jobs, Dubbo needs good quality people and the city has a shortage of qualified people.

These are great staff, they’re highly qualified, highly motivated and I’m sure they’ll all find work.”

There’ll still be plenty of de-

mand for servicing and parts when it comes to Holdens and he’s hoping that part of the business, including the mechanics and spare parts specialists, will find a new home locally.

“It’s just not viable to run that business alone in this facility but it could dovetail nicely into somebody else’s, it could just be an addon for an established business.

“Something will happen in that space, whether it’s a local dealer (or) Holden which has announced they’ll be opening AC/Delco service centres in areas where they need to.”

After the stresses of 2020, he said he’s going to take a little bit of time off but stay in Dubbo where his wife is involved in various things, and he still feels he’s got lots to contribute to the community.

“I’m too young to retire so I’ll be looking for an opportunity.

“I need to decompress and get my head clear after all this. It’s been a hard six to eight months, 2020’s been a hard year for everybody and it’s been a lot to cope with,” he said, adding that supporting the community via charity and sporting sponsorships will be something he’s going to miss.

“Absolutely, it’s probably been one of the great things, being involved in business in Dubbo. I’ve always believed in being a good corporate citizen and Dubbo’s been good to me and I feel its part of my obligation to give back,” Mr Adams said, “The Junior Roos, we’ve been major club sponsor for about eight years; the Pink Angels, we’ve been heavy sponsors for a long time; I’ve been involved with the Rotary Club of Dubbo South for 10 years and contributed there and it’s just been a wonderful, wonderful thing to be involved with the community. I’m going to miss that interaction and being able to support worthwhile charities.

“It’s a sad day but life goes on. I think that the staff need support, it’s through no fault of their own and no fault of ours. We’ve run a very, very good business here for a very long time and it’s just that circumstances have changed, it’s the way of the world with disrupters and things changing in the way business is done,” Mr Adams said.

More mental health support for regional students A FLY-IN fly-out psychology and telepsychology service of sixteen permanent senior psychologists will be introduced to support students in regional and remote parts of NSW with mental health.

The program is part of the NSW Government’s $88.4 million mental health spend that also includes a commitment to provide every public high school with one fulltime counsellor or psychologist and one student support officer.

NSW Education Minister Sarah Mitchell (pictured) said there were currently 1108 full time equivalent school counselling positions in NSW. “It is incredibly important that we continue to support our schools when it comes to the mental health and wellbeing of our students in NSW,” Ms Mitchell said.

“As a regional parent I am proud of (this) announcement because it means students in regional and rural NSW, including primary and central schools, will have ongoing access to a permanent team of specialist psychologists.”

GOLDEN WEST HOLDEN TO CLOSE

Golden West’s golden eggs for local charity

Learn first aid, save a life

Comment by DONNA FALCONER I HAVE had the pleasure of knowing Michael Adams, dealer principal at Golden West Holden, for many years from my work at Dubbo Photo News.

Then, in 2012 I had a meeting with Michael when, as founder of Pink Angels Inc, we were invited by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South to be a part of Destination Outback.

The trek raises money for charity, the major beneficiary is the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s Dubbo base, and Pink Angels was also chosen as a local beneficiary.

We needed a vehicle for the Trek so it was suggested we talk to Michael.

Michael is very community focused, and has a passion to help.

He went above and beyond to get us a car sponsored by Holden, saying if he couldn’t get one, we could take one off the lot for our outback adventure.

“We received a brand-new Colorado to fly the pink in the outback and, yes, I bogged it on the first day!

On that trip we received a wonderful donation from the Rotary Club of Dubbo South and two years later Michael again organised a 4WD vehicle for the 2014 Destination Outback, and another donation.

Since then, Michael and the Golden West team have been a major supporter of Pink Angels, organising Pink events at the dealership and

Flying Doctor Peter Brendt.

Not many car dealers would supply a brand-new four-wheel-drive for an outback charity trek! This Colorado clocked up plenty of rough road kilometres during its trip.

continuing to raise money to care for, help and support locals affected by breast cancer.

I was truly saddened to hear the news the dealership is closing but from the bottom of my heart, thankyou to Michael and his team for their amazing support of the Dubbo community.

This is what community is all about, according to Donna Falconer, when successful local businesspeople and service clubs give back to organisations which help local people. PHOTOS: CONTRIBUTED

McGrane Dinner postponed

By JOHN RYAN COVID-19 has claimed another victim with the biannual Tony McGrane CSU Memorial Scholarship Fund Dinner postponed for 2020.

The event was set to be held on September 14 but has now been held over until September 2021.

Scholarship chairperson Geoff Wise said the committee took the decision earlier in the year not to proceed with this year’s dinner due to the uncertainty with COVID-19, and the need to comply with State health orders.

“However, we have locked in the date of Monday, September 13, 2021 for the dinner at Dubbo RSL Club, the major sponsor of the CSU Tony McGrane Scholarship Fund,” Mr Wise said.

“The dinner was first held in 2010

and since then 15 scholarships have been awarded to students attending CSU Dubbo from throughout the Dubbo electorate and Orana region.”

The 2020 Scholarships for the Tony McGrane Memorial Scholarship Fund were awarded to Caitlin Carlow from Gilgandra who’s studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood-Primary, and Ethan Gordon from Dubbo who’s studying for his Bachelor of Social Work.

The Tony McGrane CSU Scholarship Fund Committee is supported by community representatives, CSU staff, private benefactors and four councils within the Dubbo Electorate and region.

Former Tony McGrane staffer, Chris Kimball, who worked for the popular MP out of his Dubbo electorate office and is now with the

ABC on the Gold Coast, said he saw first-hand the passion his old boss put into ensuring the best educational outcomes for students in this electorate.

“Tony McGrane put the ‘local’ in local MP, he was a politician but a publican at heart which meant he could have a yarn with anyone from Macquarie Street to the Dubbo main,” Mr Kimball told Dubbo Photo News.

“He cared about his community, and what made him different was the time he took with every person who walked into his office to ask his help or make a representation.

“Tony was a big supporter of local education and he would have been honoured to see the growth of CSU Dubbo and the legacy of support for these great students,” Mr Kimball said.

ONLY five per cent of Australians have been first aid trained, according to a 2017 Australian Red Cross study, which is one of the lowest rates in the world .

More than 33,000 Australians suffer from heart attacks each year, and under 10 per cent of sufferers survive.

Emergency Services team leader at the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s South Eastern Section, Dr Peter Brendt, says it is important people across the whole community are equipped to save lives.

“Having the skills to tend to someone who has suffered a heart attack is invaluable. The longer you delay CPR the less likely someone is to make a recovery,” Dr Brendt said.

“Just by responding to an incident right away, you can give someone their best chance of survival.”

St John Ambulance NSW and Red Cross offer basic, advanced and online first aid training, making it easy to become accredited.

Project traps river pollution

MANY tonnes of rubbish are predicted to be captured by Gross Pollutant Traps (GPT) installed near the Macquarie River.

Designed to capture and retain gross pollutants, litter, grit, sediments and associated oils using leading technology, an installation in recent weeks has been a long time coming but a welcomed protection for waterways.

“Back in 2016, when almost 150mm of rain fell in Dubbo for the month of June, volunteer members of the Inland Waterways OzFish noticed a steady thick slick of rubbish making its way down the Macquarie River, through the city’s CBD, where it was eventually forming a large foul flotilla of pollution at Devil’s Hole Reserve,” Inland Waterways Ozfish president Matt Hansen told Dubbo Photo News.

“Having already cleaned the site up some 11 months previously, and removing tonnes of bottles, cans, fast food packaging and numerous other items, the group was simply stunned to see that even more rubbish had accumulated just below the city once again.”

Inland Waterways Ozfish volunteers found concentrated levels of pollution accumulating and clearly entering the Macquarie River through the city’s drain-

age system, and so filmed the event and shared it online where tens of thousands expressed their horror.

“Volunteer members of the Inland Waterways Ozfish commenced talks with community groups and city infrastructure managers to try and find a solution to the garbage crisis that seems to be unfolding every time it rains in Dubbo,” Mr Hansen said.

“Fast track to 2020 and it is great to see that the Dubbo Regional Council has now installed numerous Gross Pollutant Traps, and the level of rubbish in-stream just below the city has dropped significantly, to the credit of the local council.

“In conjunction with the introduction of GPT’s, the River Repair bus has also removed 412 trailer loads of rubbish from the river’s banks, helping to reduce the disgraceful level of pollution witnessed just four years ago,” he said.

Dubbo Bushcare and Dubbo Rivercare have also been working hard to keep the river clean and welcome the GPTs. “Dubbo Bushcare and now Dubbo Rivercare have done a huge amount of work over nearly 19 years to inform and engage people about the importance of clean water, riverbank vegetation, fish habitat and reduce the rubbish loading in the river,” Local Land Services Central West officer Libby McIntyre said.

“It is a collaborative effort from a number of groups which should be recognised.”

Healthy Rivers Dubbo convenor Mel Gray says the Wambuul Macquarie River provides a vital recreational and social amenity, and praised the installation of the traps to reduce pollutants from entering the water.

“Not only does the Wambuul Macquarie River provide a vital recreational and social amenity for communities in the valley and habitat for aquatic animals, it also provides 70 per cent of Dubbo’s drinking water.”

Dugald Saunders working for rehab Last week’s “Hope for Rehab Centre” story in Dubbo Photo News reported community hopes that the upcoming State Budget would include the remainder of the funding required to build a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Dubbo. In a commentary with that report, Dubbo Regional Council’s deputy mayor and former state Labor candidate Stephen Lawrence said he believes the ball is now in the court of Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders. This week, Mr Saunders provides his views.

Comment by DUGALD SAUNDERS, MEMBER FOR DUBBO

THERE are probably only a few things that Labor candidate and Dubbo regional councillor Stephen Lawrence and I see eye-to-eye on, but the need for a drug rehabilitation centre in the Dubbo region is one of them.

From the time this matter was first raised, back in my days as a broadcaster with the ABC, right through to now, I have been a supporter of the concept.

Anyone who accuses me of anything else is either just unaware, or deliberately trying to be mischievous... I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Last week in Dubbo Photo News, Mr Lawrence brought into question my desire to bring a rehab facility to the region.

“Do you really and truly bang on the table and make demands of colleagues or focus on getting on and getting along,” he wrote.

For the benefit of Mr Lawrence and anyone else who reads this column, I have spoken with the Minister for Health, The Hon Brad Hazzard, about this matter on multiple occasions.

In fact, a report on Australian Community Media websites on Sunday, September 13, 2020, indicated as such, with a spokesperson for the Minister quoted

as saying “Dugald Saunders is an advocate of a drug detox and rehabilitation facility in Dubbo and has discussed the matter with the Minister for Health on numerous occasions.”

On February 27, 2020, when the findings of the Special Commission of Inquiry into the drug ‘Ice’ were released, I wrote a letter to not only Minister Hazzard but also to Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Attorney General Mark Speakman and Treasurer Dominic Perrottet asking that appropriate funding be included in the 2020/21 NSW Budget for the establishment of a drug court in Dubbo.

Of course, that was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state’s financial coffers have taken a substantial hit since then but my desire to see this project happen has not.

I have gone on the record on multiple occasions, whether it be on television, on radio or in print, stating that I have both a desire to see a rehab facility built in the region, but also for that facility to be able to operate properly.

The Federal Government, through the Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, has announced $3 million towards the construction of a facility, which is great.

Dubbo Regional Council has offered to provide land for it to be built on, which again is a wonderful gesture.

But nobody has outlined a desire to be responsible for the ongoing cost of running such a facility, and that is the greatest contribution that will be required. It needs to be done and done right.

Last week’s Dubbo Photo News report

In my maiden speech to the 57th Parliament of NSW, on May 8, 2019, I referenced a quote which says that “although Rome wasn’t built in a day, they were laying bricks and pavers just about every hour. You may not see or hear every single thing I do, but I will be there, laying those bricks every hour”.

I have been working hard behind the scenes on this issue, like I have with many others, in an effort to achieve an outcome that helps the people of our region, whether they be directly or indirectly impacted by the scourge of drug use and abuse.

The NSW Budget will be handed down on November 17, and I will continue to advocate for the rehab centre and drug court projects to be funded in that Budget.

5. Newspapers trigger call-to-action beyond other media Research shows readers are more likely to act on an ad they’ve seen in their local newspaper, rather than on TV or radio.

WORK SAFETY

World needs first aid

By JOHN RYAN SEPTEMBER 12 marked World First Aid Day, an initiative aimed at raising awareness of first aid and its ability to save lives in the community.

St John Ambulance volunteer Helen Harris is encouraging everyone to learn first aid, as well as life-saving techniques such as CPR and using a defibrillator.

She said it’s important to get widespread awareness out into the mainstream, especially during the current global pandemic.

“Currently there are many people who are reluctant to seek help during the pandemic because they fear they are going to contract COVID-19, or they don’t want to put pressure on the emergency departments at the hospital or their GPs,” Mrs Harris told Dubbo Photo News.

“As a result, they are suffering needlessly, or not seeking help when they should.”

She said it’s important to know when to call for help and says the longer help is delayed, the worse the patient can become.

“Not only is it important in day to day life, but St John Ambulance volunteers are out in public helping with COVID-19 screening and ensuring our community remains safe,” she said.

“We also have volunteers behind the scenes looking after the health and well-being of our members and the public. This pandemic is unprecedented in Australia. We all need to be ready to step in and help where and when needed – and stay safe while we are doing that.”

St John Ambulance, as an organisation, believes it’s a huge concern that just

five per cent of Australians are trained in first aid and Helen Harris says if you are seriously ill or injured, it is very difficult to help yourself.

“If there are people around who know first aid, they can help you. They can actually save your life! Just by following a few simple first aid steps, they can make a difference,” she said.

“They can prevent the illness or injury from becoming worse, protect the patient from further harm and promote healing. Imagine if you didn’t know how to use a defibrillator, but needed to, to save someone’s life. Or, do CPR. Or, even to stop serious bleeding. Or to keep someone safe in the recovery position while you wait for medical support from the ambulance. By knowing first aid skills, you understand what the emergency coordinators are asking you to do.”

Mrs Harris said it’s a great feeling of belonging to the community when you’re able to assist others with first-aid skills.

“I have needed help many times over the years, and I really appreciate someone being there to help me – in turn I believe I have a responsibility to help others and it makes me feel great when I know that I have helped,” she said.

“Sometimes we don’t realise how important our help is, and it’s only much later that we get thanked for saving someone’s life. It’s hard to describe, but a great feeling.

“If you know first aid, you are prepared. Please, everyone, sign up for a first aid course and help us raise awareness of World First Aid Day. Let’s all help keep our community and visitors safe.”

FINDING SUPPORT

Working for hope

By JOHN RYAN

LAST week Cassandra (CJ) sent a group text to the large group of people she supports in her role as a suicide prevention worker, inviting them to a simple ceremony at Sandy Beach for World Suicide Prevention Day. “The ceremony today was just to acknowledge World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10.

I sent the group a text saying this might be a good idea,” she said.

“I didn’t know who was going to turn up because with lived experience and those who’ve experienced trauma, it’s how people feel on the day and that’s what it’s all about in this space, allowing people to live their own autonomous life.

“This ceremony was just to acknowledge the suicide prevention space in the way that they wanted to.”

The people in the group all have ‘lived experience’ when it comes to suicide and told Dubbo Photo News they find great comfort in being able to openly talk to others who’ve walked in their shoes, as well as being comforted by CJ’s expertise in this area as well as her compassion.

She’s been in her current grassroots role in Dubbo for the past four years and also does outreach work covering Narromine, Warren and Nyngan – all funded by the Primary Health Network (PHN) “I work very closely with those who’ve had lived experience around suicide, so it can be people who have suicidal thoughts, those who have suicidal ideation (the forming of mental images) or who have attempted suicide – I specialise in that niche of those with lived experiences around suicide,” CJ told Dubbo Photo News, saying while the work is emotionally draining, it’s an incredibly rewarding role.

Organisation and time-management are key, with the need to be able to get your head into the same space as whichever client she’s helping at that particular time.

“The first thing that comes to mind when I think about working in this space is self-care – having self-care as in looking at things holistically with my background in social work, making sure I have that grounding in all areas of my life so it makes you strong enough to do the role as best you can,” she said.

“I’ve absolutely found my niche,

Cassandra, a Suicide Prevention Worker at Neami National, said her job is challenging but so rewarding that she wouldn’t want to do anything else.

my background is 29 years as a personal trainer/fitness instructor then working with Neami National for the last six years in mental health, first at the Sub-Acute Unit and now working at the grassroots level with these guys, I’ve absolutely found my niche.

“When I first looked at this project I didn’t know how I’d go, but now looking at it, my background as a personal trainer helps because we set goals, we’re always recovery-focussed and I always re-

spect everyone’s autonomy as individuals and that’s how I work with these guys, individually and wanting to help them live the life they want to live.”

Tiffany was one of the ceremony participants and said life is difficult, and one day at a time.

“It’s good to have somewhere where we go where we’re accepted, where it’s not judgemental and have contact with other people in the same situation, it’s good to have that so then if the system

doesn’t help us, then we’ve got each other,” she said, pointing out how much the simple ceremony meant to her.

“It’s very important because it brings to light the importance of suicide prevention and that it’s not taboo, that it’s something we can talk about and have in the open and commemorate and honour the people who have passed.

“I have lived experience of suicide; I’ve lost a really good friend to suicide and I’ve also attempted suicide myself and I’ve suicidal ideation – having people, I can look to when I’m having those bad days, days where I’m not feeling sure of myself, I know in this group I have that support I need.

CJ said seeing how her facilitation can help so many people in such positive ways is incredibly fulfilling for her on a personal level.

“I absolutely love my job,” she said.

King of the Honeyeaters

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S zoo has welcomed 10 critically endangered Regent Honeyeater chicks in its first breeding season, a timely omen to coincide with National Threatened Species Day. Five out of the six pairs at Dubbo have clutches, with three females still brooding and feeding chicks in the nest.

Environment Minister Matt Kean said National Threatened Species Day is an important opportunity to raise awareness for plants and animals at risk of extinction, and with less than 400 Regent Honeyeaters in the wild, every chick hatched in zoo-based breeding programs is vital to the long-term survival of the species.

“The ultimate goal of the program is to provide insurance against extinction and boost wild population numbers while strategies are implemented to secure the species long term,” Mr Kean said.

The Regent Honeyeater breeding season runs from July through to January and the birds can have up to three clutches throughout the breeding season with two successful chicks per clutch being the norm.

Once widespread across Australia, they now exist in small numbers across limited sites from north-eastern Victoria to south-eastern Queensland.

Regent Honeyeaters are medium-sized, black and yellow birds that feed on nectar obtained mainly from eucalypts and mistletoe.

Cut super tax, don’t hit struggling small businesses: Ombudsman THE Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell says the federal government could take some financial pressure off small businesses, without adversely impacting workers, by deferring superannuation guarantee increases and cutting taxes on superannuation payments.

In a letter to the Treasurer, Ms Carnell has proposed a two-year deferral on legislated superannuation guarantee increases, while also cutting the 15 per cent tax on compulsory employer superannuation guarantee contributions to 7.5 per cent during that time.

Ms Carnell says the combined measures offset each other, to ensure workers end up with a similar superannuation amount as they would have under the scheduled increase. “Ultimately, by implementing this proposal, the federal government would be supporting small businesses and all Australians who deserve a dignified retirement,” she said.

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Man charged with highrange PCA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dubbo A 45-YEAR-OLD man will have his day in court after police stopped a silver Ford Falcon on Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell Street, Dubbo, and conducted a random breath test at 4am on the morning of September 9.

Police say the driver returned a positive result.

He was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station where a subsequent breath analysis allegedly returned a reading of 0.163.

The man was charged with high-range PCA and is due to appear at Dubbo Local Court on November 18.

He was also issued a licence suspension notice.

Criminal network crushed POLICE have charged three people as part of investigations into an alleged drug supply network in Lightning Ridge.

In June, Central North detectives established Strike Force Buckinbah to investigate the supply of prohibited drugs around Lightning Ridge and following extensive investigations police pounced, executing search warrants at a business and two homes in Lightning Ridge about 8am on September 11.

During the searches officers located and seized more than $17,000 cash, methylamphetamine, MDMA, cocaine, cannabis, electronics, a jet ski, a quad bike, two dirt bikes and three cars at a home.

A 30-year-old man was arrested and taken to Lightning Ridge Police Station where he was charged with knowingly direct activities of a criminal group, three counts of supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis, knowingly deal with proceeds of crime intent to conceal, and two counts of possess prohibited drug.

A 21-year-old man was also arrested at the address and taken to Walgett Police Station where he was charged with participate in criminal group contribute criminal activity, supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis, knowingly deal with proceeds of crime intent to conceal, and two counts of possess prohibited drug.

A 29-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Walgett Police Station where she was charged with participation criminal group,

contribute criminal activity and knowingly deal with proceeds of crime intent to conceal.

They were all refused bail and appeared at Dubbo Local Court where they were formally refused bail to reappear at Walgett Local Court.

Central North Police District Commander superintendent Andrew Hurst said the operation has dismantled a significant drug operation in the Lightning Ridge area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The supply and use of prohibited drugs in our regional communities is a serious issue and we are working closely with the local community to tackle this,â&#x20AC;? Supt Hurst said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investigations have not finished; strike force officers will continue targeting drug suppliers in the Lightning Ridge community and we have not ruled out further arrests.â&#x20AC;?

Inquiries continue and further arrests are expected to be made.

Wall to Wall COVID-safe THE charity Wall to Wall ride, first staged in 2010, is a police memorial motorcycle ride which honours the service and sacrifices of fallen Australian police and raises funds in support of fallen officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families. It also promotes road safety.

This year the national event couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be held because of social distancing concerns and border closures so police across the nation conducted many satellite motorcycle rides and then came together online to commemorate the annual Ride for Remembrance.

Mal Unicomb retired a few years back, based in Dubbo as the western region highway patrol boss.

He took part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satellite ride for western police and said it was a totally different experience because of COVID-19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each state and territory have done their own thing to honour our fallen officers. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to the National Memorial in Canberra but thought of those that we have lost as we rode with our mates,â&#x20AC;? Mr Unicomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took the opportunity to visit a special grave to me on the ride home. Senior Constable John Ward was the officer in charge of Coonabarabran Police Station when, in 1865, he was shot and killed by bushranger Sam Poo near Gulgong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I paid my respects to John but was extremely sad to see the state of the area we spent so much time and energy creating some years

As part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commemorations, the names of any officers who have died in the past year are added to the National Wall of Remembrance.

All funds raised during the Wall to Wall ride by the NSW contingent will go toward NSW Police Legacy.

NSW Police Legacy provides care and support to more than 20,000 serving and retired police officers and their families during times of tragedy and need.

Peak Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Waratah RFS station EMERGENCY services minister David Elliott joined Orange MP Phil Donato to officially open the Waratah Rural Fire Brigade station in Peak Hill last week.

Mr Elliott welcomed the $570,000 investment and said the new station will not only be able to store the brigadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two tankers, but it will also be a meeting point for members and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is pleasing also to see a new $330,000 Category 1 tanker handed over here, which replaces a 24-year-old fire truck,â&#x20AC;? Mr Elliott said.

brinkmanship from Nationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader John Barilaro which resulted in a humiliating back-flip and backdown last week after the party initially threatened to sit on the cross benches.

The fact Mr Barilaro said his MPs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to relinquish any of their ministerial perks probably gave the game away that they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to give up the extra pay and entitlements.

Mr Elliott told the assembled media, and this comment went â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, that the Nats shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have brought a knife to a gunfight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an oldie, but a goodie.

Anyway, enough of the interesting political distractions.

The new pumper can supply up to 3000 litres of water a minute for firefighting operations and a Compressed Air Foam (CAFs) system to fight chemical, petrol and bush fires.

Mr Elliott said the new vehicle will serve to improve emergency responses, providing even greater protection for local residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FRNSW do a great job in responding to a variety of emergen-

Busy afternoon

EMERGENCY services had a busy Tuesday afternoon on Tuesday this week, September 15.

Just after 4pm firefighters and paramedics attended the Amaroo Hotel after reports there was a fire in the kitchen.

Workers were able to douse the flames with a fire blanket before firefighters arrived. Paramedics were on hand to check everyone involved for injuries relating to smoke inhalation, but the all-clear was given on all counts.

Just minutes later paramedics, police and firies rushed to the Boundary Road/Fitzroy Street intersection where there was a twocar collision.

Friday Fun night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cops caring for

By JOHN RYAN NEWS ANALYSIS Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE spent more than my fair share of nights reporting on juvenile crime around Dubbo where at times it has seemed like the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth were at war with the police.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen eight houses torched by kids in a seven-day period, and even filmed a group of very young boys trying to set a house alight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that stopped when I yelled out and they saw me with a TV camera on my shoulder.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held two garbage can lids up facing neighbouring fences as my cameraman filmed the firies trying to put out a house fire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were used as shields to stop the half bricks being hurled by gangs of kids from hitting us and emergency workers.

Now a new day has dawned and those police stand-offs with Dubboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disadvantaged kids have morphed into all sorts of grassroots community programs which are making a real difference.

This Saturday is Thank a Cop Day, so Dubbo Photo News caught up with some of the police at the w PCYC last Friday night where their Fun Nights are a glimpse int into a much brighter future for tthe cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth.

Leading senior constable Ian Burns has been working with youth across Dubbo for w years and says the arrival of ye commander, Superintena new n dent Peter McKenna, saw three police detailed to work with local polic kids. kids He said that allocation of specific resources has changed everything for the better. ever â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all got stories about kids â&#x20AC;&#x153;W we cconnect with and build relationships with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the boss, when tions first came here, he was abused he fi by ssome kids down the main street and now as he drives up the stree main street he gets kids waving and shouting out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;McKenna, McKennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, so to me it just shows how profound the positive change is in the youth in Dubbo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great,â&#x20AC;?

Snr Const Burns told Dubbo Photo News after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d finished feeding the kids.

Throughout the PCYC there were kids everywhere, walking around between activities, playing table tennis with long-time Aboriginal community liaison

officer Willie Middleton, trying their hand at Fortnite on the giant video screens, dodging balls, including footballs, on the basketball court or just chilling out on a couch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always remember my visit to Backtrack up in Armidale with people from Apollo House, and Backtrack founder Bernie Shakeshaft told us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it always resonates in my mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to just said go and get five kids, go and sit on the riverbank and chuck a line in. The more time you spend in front of a computer, the more time you procrastinate about how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do this, and the less time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending with those kids.â&#x20AC;?

One 12-year-old girl told Dubbo Photo News the Friday Fun Nights were the highlight of her week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get to play with your friends and meet new people, the police are good because they help when we need help, they do a great job, yep,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good they put this Friday fun night on because kids wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be walking around the streets, they can come and have fun and eat and that and be safe. I look forward to every Friday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best part of the week and my family likes me coming here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you get to play touch and basketball and

Dubbo Photo News September 17-23, 2020 IN BRIEF

Former Dubbo engineer John Gilbert’s legacy will live on

local kids cial Work and while I’m doing that I’m at TAFE doing a Diploma of Community Services and I started coming here just to help put those skills into practise. I used to come here when I was a kid too, they used to have a program with the police called Midnight Basketball and that was heaps good,” he said.

He believes it’s a great thing that kids who come from difficult backgrounds can interact so positively with local police.

“It breaks a lot of the tension between the police and the youth at risk and there’s stuff the kids could get in to if they didn’t have a place to come to, it’s really good to build these sorts of relationships.

“It really motivates me and sparks me to fully drive through and just complete my course. I can sort of get myself skilled up so I can help these kids and be part of the change in their lives as well, helping them with my development as a person – I look back to Midnight basketball and think that made a positive change for me,” Mr Richardson said.

••• IAN Burns says Peter McKenna’s brief when he moved to Dubbo as the new police commander was to get crime under control.

“He’s done that over a period of time and his words were that we’ve got control of crime, now we need to do something to engage the

youth in Dubbo,” Snr Const Burns said.

“We believe, and we know, that this program is making a difference for youth crime from a policing perspective – youth crime is down in all categories “There’s a few things we’re doing but probably the main thing is our Friday night Fun Night and the PCYC has allowed us to pretty much take over the PCYC on a Friday night and we have a number of things the kids can do.

“When we’re not working, there’s often three or four cops who will come in on their days off just to make sure everything in the program is able to run, just to hang out with the kids, sit there and have brekky with them. You get to see the kids in such a great environment.”

COUNCILLORS and staff of Dubbo Regional Council have expressed sadness at the passing of John Gilbert, 97, one of the region’s early engineers who left a significant legacy in Dubbo.

Mr Gilbert was the Municipal and then City Engineer of Dubbo for 30 years from 1953 to 1983.

The filtration plant in South Dubbo was named the John Gilbert Water Treatment Plant in his honour shortly before he retired.

He is remembered for upgrades to both the water treatment and sewage treatment plants. He introduced the innovation of water softening technology to overcome the Macquarie River water hardness and advocated to replace the Drift Wells with a dozen small diameter deep bores.

He built water supply service reservoirs on high ground well outside of the existing town area at Mugga Hill, Eulomogo and Rifle Range Road, as well as sewage pump stations at Troy Gully and Cootha in preparation for a future city of 100,000 people.

Mr Gilbert is survived by his wife Margaret and children Sue, John and Kent.

Security for Gular preschool

By JOHN RYAN SECURITY enhancements at Gulargambone’s preschool should enable the community to enjoy greater peace of mind according to Parkes MP Mark Coulton, who visited the town this week to announce the award of an $87,525 grant.

The cash will enable the installation of CCTV cameras with remote access, security lighting, security alarms and fencing at the pre-school.

“I’m thrilled Gulargambone Pre-School is one of the recipients re-

ceiving money for important safety improvements for the benefit of the wonderful children and staff here,” Mr Coulton said.

“It’s a hive of activity at Gulargambone PreSchool at the moment with plenty of capital works underway, so I’m glad these funds will further benefit the preschool and wider community.”

Gulargambone PreSchool director Amii Marchant said the funds will make an enormous difference.

“We are so appreciative to have received

this grant funding,” Ms Marchant said.

“It means we can ensure a safe environment for children, families and community members who access the new preschool both during and after school hours. It also means staff can safely enter and exit the building each morning and evening,” she said.

“We will also be providing security infrastructure for the bus shed. This building will house the Gulargambone community bus that we use to transport our town children each day.”

Tree removal along Newell Highway and Rifle Range Rd A NUMBER of trees will be removed along the Newell Highway and Rifle Range Road Dubbo. The work is being done by Dubbo Regional Council to facilitate the installation of a rising water main pipeline.

OzArk’s qualified ecologist has assessed the trees for their habitat value, including whether they contained hollows, nests or dreys.

Thirty-seven trees have been marked for removal, with a further 81 to be retained.

A pre-clearance survey has been conducted to iden-

tify any additional habitat trees and inform Council of any additional biodiversity issues that may arise prior to removal.

A qualified ecologist will be present on site prior to removal of the 37 trees.

Traffic Management is in place to facilitate the tree removal works and road users are asked to be mindful when in the area.

Council have engaged local Dubbo based contractor Western Tree Management to undertake the works.

Work is scheduled to be completed by close of business Friday, September 18.

WELLINGTON NEWS Mixed reaction to renewables hub

REZ

By NATALIE LEWIS

The Central West-Orana Renewable Energy Zone has received a mixed reaction. PHOTOS: NATALIE LEWIS

WELLINGTON has an important role at the heart of the state’s first Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) but a mix of energy sources is the key, according to Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders.

The Central West-Orana REZ aims to deliver 3000MW of wind and solar generation that’s been described as the cheapest type of new reliable generation.

The town is already home to both wind and solar farms with more on the way and Mr Saunders described Wellington as an important location for energy development.

“Wellington’s proximity to the substation makes it a really important hub,” he said.

“It plays an important role in getting the power back to the energy lines.”

Mr Saunders believes the REZ creates uniformity for the region to become known for its renewables.

“There are definitely opportunities that go with the REZ,” he said.

“It gives the government certainty to what that looks like. Renewables have a role to play in the future, powering our regional areas.

It gives certainty around investment

and provides a backbone for infrastructure. The government can create openings off the back of that.”

Describing the various opportunities created by the REZ, Mr Saunders listed manufacturing, youth employment, training and recycling.

“There’s a very noticeable construction phase. It’s an amazing opportunity for workers to find unskilled jobs. The benefit to local clubs and motels is enormous during that phase. There are all of those opportunities as we form these zones.”

Mr Saunders said the technology of renewable energy keeps evolving which makes it a good source for the future.

“It’s constantly changing,” he said. “Every opportunity we have for the future is where we should embrace change for reliable, cheap, clean energy.

“If the government can be guaranteed, I see a mix of power going forward. I think it’s a really bright future we have ahead.”

Local farmer Pip Smith, a fourth generation farmers who runs a fine wool Merino stud with her family, believes there needs to be more options available for the location and production of renewable energy.

“I’m not against renewables, I’m just not a fan,” she said.

“Of course, it brings money to the town during construction, but very little after that.

“There is a renewable hub in Wellington. They are only doing it because the power substation is there.

“I think the government needs to think more about its need to build infrastructure and put it in the desert, not using prime agricultural land. Why they have to jam it in near Wellington – it’s appalling.

“We should be thinking carefully about the long-term. We should be looking at nuclear power, it doesn’t destroy the landscape.”

Mrs Smith is saddened by the impact of renewable energy, describing it as a ‘blight on the landscape.’

“I feel sad that we have been destroying the landscape,” she said.

“I don’t think it’s environmentally friendly. No-one knows what will happen in 30 years’ time – where will it go. We need to find a real balance. There is a time and place for coal-fired power.

“The damage to the landscape and relationships is real – there are neighbours who don’t talk to each other anymore, and that’s sad.”

Wellington Arts festival a great success

By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON continues to dominate the region as an emerging arts hub, according to Wellington Arts president Lisa Thomas who has described their recent festival as a ‘huge, two-day success.’

Although the event had to be rearranged at the eleventh hour due to COVID-19 restrictions, it still went off without a hitch thanks to a hardworking committee and a cooperative community.

“We have always been a resilient community and will continue to shine given the support and commitment from our community members and valuable volunteers,” Mrs Thomas said.

Held at the Wellington Civic Hall, the art exhibition featured paintings and sculptures in a range of mediums, with entries coming in from regional artists, local schools and the farming community.

The display was accompanied by entries in the Fire Bucket Challenge, which combined creativity and practicality.

“The overall winners of the arts, sculpture and fire bucket categories did not win easily as there was an increased level of excellence from the past years and each event had a very high level of participation,” Mrs Thomas said.

Workshops in dry stone walling, mosaic making, flower ar-

ranging and weaving were held in tandem with the exhibition.

They were very well-attended and gave participants plenty of inspiration.

“The workshops were scattered in close proximity to the exhibition and business precinct of Wellington which created a huge swelling of visitor interest to all of the weekend’s activities.”

Mrs Thomas said the workshops ran at full capacity and provided a glimpse of the exciting talent and opportunities that exist in Wellington, thanks to a range of techniques shown by each of the convenors.

The entire weekend showcased what the town offers as a creative community.

“Many regional towns are finding our events to be an opportunity to successfully exhibit and sell artwork because of our relaxed but professional stance.

“The Wellington Arts, sculpture and fire bucket exhibition was a huge two-day success.

Trying to explain the winners in words does not do them justice and the collective artworks had to be visually seen to appreciate the skills applied.”

In addition to the exhibition, contributing artists were also given the opportunity to promote and sell their work on the Wellington Arts Facebook page for five days after the event.

STUART TOWN

Community divided over building access

by NATALIE LEWIS TRADITIONALLY a haven for storytellers and artists, the village of Stuart Town is being torn apart by community division over access to the local Railway Hotel.

The Ironbarks Creative Centre had leased the building from Wellington Council for some 40 years before being locked out in recent months by the Stuart Town Advancement Association (STAA) executive committee, seemingly with the support of Dubbo Regional Council.

ICC representative Natalie Reid said they had spent time restoring and upgrading the historic building, only to be left out in the cold.

She explained that Dubbo Regional Council had allowed STAA to lease the Railway Hotel building without consultation with ICC – who had not only saved the building from demolition – but also felt a sense of duty towards its ongoing maintenance.

“We saved the building from being pulled down and I’ve helped to restore it. Now we can’t access it,” Mrs Reid said.

The ICC had previously been a sub-committee under a fiduciary arrangement with STAA but they have since become an incorporated body in their own right – Ironbarks Creative Centre Incorporated (ICCI). Mrs Reid said this was because membership of the STAA was limited.

“We are not restricting membership, we are welcoming everyone.

We also thought we might have a chance of changing the Council's mind.”

The fact that they can no longer meet in the building they transformed is disappointing for Mrs Reid and the other members of ICCI. “It’s really sad,” she said. “We don’t know why they are doing what they are doing.

“We had a meeting to try and work out the solution but people at the meeting were antagonistic. I’m about ready to throw my hands in the air.”

ICCI is now seeking legal advice after being told that any attempt to enter the building would result in police intervention.

“We’re having another meeting to approve a solicitor to act on our behalf,” Mrs Reid said. “We’ve had no satisfaction from the Mayor, we try but nothing ever happens.”

STAA president Marcus Hanney confirmed they hold the lease to the building and that Council is the owner.

“It came up for lease earlier this year,” he explained.

“It’s a renewal of the lease, not a new lease. Council needed an incorporated body and ICC was only a sub-committee (at that time).”

He explained that the ICC were not allowed to take over the lease when they were a sub-committee of the STAA. Mr Hanney added that the building can’t be used by large groups at the moment due to COVID-19 regulations.

“We are not denying anybody access. We can’t let anyone in there to meet. We have to follow the foursquare metre rules with a 10-person maximum – it’s not an open plan building.”

Mr Hanney said the STAA has 38 members while Mrs Reid confirmed there are up to 15 members of the ICCI. It would be impossible to have all members of either committee meet at the Railway Hotel without breaking the rules.

“Due to COVID-19, we are meeting at the School of Arts. It can only hold 38 people but meetings can be held there.

“We are not denying anybody but we have rules to follow,” he said.

“We have got to do things by the book. It’s tough but we are doing it because we have to.

“The moment they (the ICC) became incorporated, they became an outside group.”

While the STAA doesn’t pay for the meeting place, they are required by Council to have $20m public liability insurance.

“No sub-committee could have that. It wouldn’t be possible,” Mr Hanney said.

With changes in policy since the amalgamation of Wellington and Dubbo councils, Mr Hanney pointed out that the lease arrangements had become stricter.

“Wellington Council was a lot more laidback,” he said.

Mr Hanney said visitors were welcome but numbers were restricted at each venue. “STAA is open to members, we do allow visitors, but need to take care with restrictions. We are following the rules.”

Mr Hanney described the current situation as ‘an unnecessary division.’

“There are groups in town that don’t want to follow the rules. It’s small town politics,” he said.

The STAA is in the process of forming an advisory board as another sub-committee. They said COVID-19 restrictions will be in place for some time to come.

Mrs Reid doesn’t believe that COVID-19 is to blame for their circumstances.

“It’s definitely an excuse,” she said. I did a COVID-19 plan and Council approved the plan. (Then) they (STAA) changed the locks on the building. I think it’s political which doesn’t help our situation. I blame both parties – Council has allowed it to happen without consultation.

“I don’t know what to do. We’ve

raised money and they wanted us to hand it over but that money is to work on the building.

STAA were the ones to change the locks and STAA are the ones that instigated legal action in order to get access to the money raised by ICC and ICCI. “They wasted money chang-

ing the locks.”

Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) Director of Liveability Skye Price confirmed ‘the DRC has been in discussion with two stakeholder groups in Stuart Town about the use of the Railway Hotel in Stuart Town.’

“DRC has issued a formal li-

cense agreement for the Railway Hotel to one stakeholder group within the village. An alternative stakeholder group also seeks a license agreement for use of the facility, which unfortunately cannot be accommodated,” she said.

NEWS EXTRA Blue Tree asks

RUOK?

By JOHN RYAN WORLD Suicide Prevention Day was last Thursday, September 10 and for many people in and around Dubbo, it was a day of great sadness.

For years many people kept the grief to themselves and society as a whole swept the problem under the carpet – thankfully that is changing.

On Thursday, Dubbo Photo News was invited to a ceremony at Sandy Beach where a group of people with lived experiences of suicide launched wreaths made from native plants into the Macquarie River.

For all these people, talking about their experiences with other sufferers is of immense help.

And having the support of trained, compassionate professionals such as Neami National’s Cassandra (CJ) is critical.

There are now two Blue Trees near Dubbo – one opposite the village of Wongarbon, the other near the railway underpass on the Minore Road, which is pictured here.

The great thing about this Blue Tree is that an RUOK sign, with contact details, has been placed near it – that’s two suicide prevention movements collaborating to help stop this affliction that has seen so many lives lost, with the consequent suffering of all those left behind.

The more we see all organisations and individuals in this space working together, the better off we’ll be when addressing this pressing and important issue.

Suicide Prevention Australia’s has released its inaugural State of the Nation report and is concerned a rare ‘black swan’ event (an event that is extremely rare and unexpected but has very significant consequences) is posing serious consequences for Australia’s suicide rates, as three-quar-

ters (78 per cent) of frontline suicide prevention services and workers report increased demand in the wake of COVID19.

Suicide Prevention Australia CEO Nieves Murray said a key solution included Federal Government introducing a standalone National Suicide Prevention Act taking a whole-of-government – not just mental health – approach.

The report found this has overwhelming support from the suicide prevention sector (80 per cent and public, 70 per cent).

Ms Murray said Australia was headed for a “clash of economic and social distress”, with the suicide prevention sector significantly concerned about suicide risks driven by employment (82 per cent), social isolation (81 per cent) and relationship breakdown (77 per cent), with 65 per cent of respondents reporting a need for more funding and support to cope.

“International research shows as economies go down, suicide rates go up, and Australia has just entered its worst recession in nearly a century,” Ms Murray said.

“The longer COVID19 and its economic and social impacts run, the bigger the risk of a hidden ‘third wave’ of suicide deaths not recorded in the official virus figures.

“While our end goal must be reducing suicide rates towards zero, our immediate priority must be minimising any risk of them increasing during and after COVID-19.

Australia’s annual suicide death rate (3046) is currently morethan-three times that of COVID19’s (753).

The inaugural State of the Nation in Suicide Prevention Report brings together the results of a survey of 140 organisations and individuals working in suicide prevention and a YouGov poll in-

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

How we should pay back the COVID-19 debt The Editor, I am strong Labor supporter but must give credit to the Prime Minister and NSW Premier for the job they are doing steering us through the COVID-19 crisis.

But it worries me how we are going to repay the enormous national debt this crisis has caused.

It would be unfair and immoral to simply transfer this debt to future generations.

I think the two fairest things would be to double the GST, and secondly, bring back death duties in some form.

We are all blessed to live in this great nation and surely it is not too much to ask that we pay something back when we pass on.

Colin Tonkin, Dubbo

We see through you Barilaro The Editor, For far too long the National Party keeps telling us that they are looking after the regions, but in reality they are only looking after the big foreign multi-national companies that now own vast swathes of country and water, and who pay big dollars and have secret handshakes with the National Party.

What hope do our native animals have? Koala habitat has been wiped out by broadscale land clearing so John Barilaro can look after his mates.

Murray Cod, our iconic inland freshwater fishing species, don’t

stand much chance as Melinda Pavey pushes for even more dams and weirs across the NSW Murray Darling Basin, further fragmenting already severely stressed waterways.

They say they are securing water, but in fact they are just withholding it from people, animals and places downstream and making it available to their big wig mates high in the catchment.

Tourism brings people and money into our regions – money that stays in our towns and gets spent at servos, hotels, tackle shops and corner stores, not exported overseas as corporate profits.

Tourism has the potential to grow, while irrigation can’t suck much more life from our rivers (although it will try).

We see through you Barilaro, the game is up for you and your party.

enjoyed my time there. I hope the best for all the employees and best of luck to Michael Adams.

Dianne: Very sad indeed Cindy: So sad! What happens to the people who’ve bought new vehicles with free scheduled servicing?

Edward: The cost of arbitrary and completely unnecessary restrictions on business.

Nasser: Very sad and disappointing to happen Barbara: Going to miss these guys, bought our last two new Holdens there, and they went out of their way to get the one I wanted. The tune up services were excellent too. Now where do I buy my next new Holden?

In response, Danny said: Sorry Barbara but you won’t ever buy a new Holden again. They have stopped manufacturing all together. This is pretty much why Golden West and many other Holden dealers across Australia are closing.

Several readers queried how

they’d get their cars serviced and the impact on car warranties. Because the decision to stop making Holdens was made by the American head office, these questions are best directed to them. Hold-

en Australia said it will “continue to honour all existing warranties” and that “Holden will establish a national aftersales network to support existing customers for at least the next 10 years”.

Three things needed to treat our health system John Ryan ❚ OPINION

ANYONE following national media this week would think Dubbo Hospital and the NSW and Australian rural health services are third world at best.

Reporter Liz Hayes ran a segment on 60 Minutes which told of her father’s death where she claimed he died prematurely because staff at Taree’s Manning Valley Hospital, where her dad Bryan Ryan was being treated for pneumonia, for more than a week didn’t administer his regular blood thinner to prevent him from having a stroke.

Dubbo Hospital received a caning with ABC reporter Jamelle Wells telling 60 Minutes that her dad Alan Wells, from Cobar, had broken his hip and was admitted for surgery.

She said Dubbo Hospital staff wanted to discharge him the day after his second operation and the family fought that discharge, but

within hours her dad had suffered cardiac arrest.

Her nightmare claims of what subsequently happened boggle the mind, before Alan Wells was transported back to Cobar Hospital in an ambulance, a trip of more than three hours in 40 degree weather.

He died in November last year, five days after being put into a nursing home.

Days before the 60 Minutes story aired, the Sydney Morning Herald ran a story where a whistle-blower doctor claimed he was sacked from Dubbo Hospital after he told his bosses he’d found evidence that thousands of test results, including X-Rays, were never checked.

This week Dubbo Photo News has been inundated with local Dubbo people wanting to tell us their horror stories, so it seems the floodgates have opened in an area where there is normally silence.

Dubbo Photo News reporter Lydia Pedrana has written about some of these heartbreaking episodes in this week’s paper, and there is no doubt there is an Herculean effort on the part of many health bureaucrats, at the behest of their politi-

in that field to call out a medical professional who’s had years of university training – in one case it was a surgeon of long-standing, and in the others, fly-in, fly-out registrars.

Many people don’t have that confidence to take that stand.

But you know what – I could list literally hundreds of times that myself or family members have had medical treatment in Dubbo and it’s been fantastic.

But when things work out fine, no-one hears about it because that’s good news.

I hope three things happen as a result of these spotlights that are being shone on Dubbo Hospital at the moment.

Firstly, I hope people understand ` I hope people that the vast bulk of medical prounderstand that the fessionals are human beings trying vast bulk of medical to do the very best job they can, professionals are human often working long, unfriendly beings trying to do the hours and lacking in resources and very best job they can, support. often working long, Secondly, I would love to see the layers of administration that has unfriendly hours and exponentially proliferated around lacking in resources and support... a the actual work of hospitals to be made answerable to the people

cal masters, to cover up any and all mistakes and stuff-ups when it comes to our health system – to make sure the only things that reflect on them are the positives.

I’ve had plenty of close calls with deaths in Dubbo hospitals thanks to doctor mistakes, three close family members who may have died because they lucked out with their medical care.

In all of those cases the nurses were all telling me that the doctors were making mistakes but they couldn’t be reasoned with.

Each time I took issue with the relevant doctors, and it’s a big thing when I’ve got zero training

they’re meant to be serving – the more honest and transparent local input that’s put into the running of local hospitals, the better off taxpayers will be. But when it’s unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats prioritising their own careers, we will suffer because of it.

Thirdly, could the state and federal governments make health the responsibility of just one tier of government and fund it properly.

I understand the blame game but when they’re playing with the lives of country people, even though we know we’re second-class citizens, there shouldn’t be any room for that sort of crap.

We need far stronger whistle-blower protections and we need to slash the capacity for bullies in management to cower those doctors and nurses into submission, when all these brave people want to do is try and make the health system better so others don’t needlessly die. z Note: John Ryan is also an elected councillor serving on Dubbo Regional Council.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Boss responds to negative news reports about standards at Dubbo Health Service Dear Editor, In the last few days, there has been a series of news media stories that relate to Dubbo Health Service.

I want to be clear from the outset – no health service is perfect; no doctor, nurse, allied health professional, cook, orderly or manager is perfect.

When a person comes to any of our hospitals, they want to receive the best care, advice and support.

I guarantee you that for all of us who work in health that’s exactly what we go to work every day wanting to deliver.

In truth, the vast majority of people have a good experience with our hospitals and health services.

They are looked after well in terms of both their clinical and personal needs.

They understand what’s happening, and why.

They feel taken care of.

Nowhere is that more true than at Dubbo Health Service.

In this city you have an amazing team of healthcare professionals in a service that is growing in size and complexity every day.

Ten years ago, it would be difficult to imagine Dubbo Health Service as it is now.

From 2010 to 2019 the number of patients admitted has grown own by 46 per cent; the number off elective surgeries performed by 38 per cent and since 2011 the numbers umbers using the emergency department rtment have increased by 122 perr cent, including a 68 per cent increase crease in the more complex resuscitation itation and emergency categories.

In response to that, Dubbo Health Service’s budget has grown by 90 per cent to more than n $125 million, and hundreds of millions of dollars have been poured ed into the wholesale redevelopment. nt.

As impressive as those numbers mbers are, sometimes we don’t get it right.

When that happens, we take it very seriously.

The effort your healthcare care team at Dubbo puts into being ing accountable and improving g is as purposeful and as thorough ugh as you would find in any hosospital, regardless of which side ide of the Blue Mountains it lies. s.

There is a direct line of sight ight from the Board to the ward that

Mark Spittal ❚ Acting Chief Executive, Western NSW Local Health Service

is constantly looking to see that we are getting it right, and improving where we need to.

Here are some important facts for you yo to know that may not have been translated into some other media reports.

Last year it was found that an electr electronic record of diagnostic reports – for instance, reports report writte written by specialist radiologists about x-rays – wasn’t being used prope properly.

This didn’t mean that doctors weren’t looking at x-rays or othweren er diagnostic tests, but it did m mean that improvements n needed to be made.

That’s what happened.

S Straight away a new system t was implemented to prioritise p reports made for c children.

Since then, an even more ccomprehensive system was iintroduced to make sure that eevery single report in the ED is acted on by a senior doctor, ev every single day.

N No staff were disciplined or sanctioned as a result of that sitsanc uation uatio being uncovered.

We work hard to make sure

that there is a respectful culture of safety between all members of the clinical team, no matter how experienced or how new.

It is that culture of respectful teamwork, clinical safety and open enquiry that we are absolutely zealous to protect.

In spite of the details that can be included by others in media reports, I have an obligation to patient and staff confidentiality and can’t comment on specific cases no matter how much I might like to.

I can assure you, though, that we are working with patients and families all the time to be open about their experiences, and to involve them in the process of making improvements.

Dubbo is where I live. It’s my hospital where I and my family go when we need hospital level care.

I have no hesitation trusting myself and my loved ones to the skills, expertise, enquiring minds and caring hearts of those who work there.

That is not a trust easily given, but it is one that day after day the staff at Dubbo Hospital are showing me that they deserve.

Should regional NSW vote for a new state?

ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection BACK in the late 1940s there was “Movement at the Station” in the north of NSW to separate the region from controls of metropolitan areas. Sir Earl Page owned “Heifer Station” on the Upper Clarence River area and became involved in the agenda to establish New England, the nominated title for the new state.

Country people today can be forgiven for still feeling we might be better off as a separate state.

When we read the Sydney Morning Herald each day, the letters to the editor are almost totally from metropolitan residents, and almost all their opinions oppose the needs of country people and the reality of nature around them.

It was tragic circumstances that saw the native koala population decimated in last summer’s bushfires. The closer we live with our land, the better understanding we have about the potential results that come from doing nothing about preventing disasters such as bushfires.

In the bookstore a few years ago when there were major fires in the west Warrumbungle Park area, a fire-fighter, still in his protective gear came in. The discussion revealed that he was extremely frustrated with the system where the working teams

were told what to do by telephone link from a central office. Those working on the ground could see what was necessary, but the directions from the centralised office were ineffective.

In any event, action should have been taken to control burn before the inferno season.

Author Victor Steffensen has just released “Fire Country”, a text relating how Indigenous fire management could help save the Country. The book tells that from a young age he had a passion for traditional cultural and ecological knowledge, and in later life two tribal Elders became his mentors, teaching him the importance of cultural burning.

Developed over many generations, this knowledge shows that Australia actually needs fire. Fire is an important part of a holistic approach to the environment, and when burning is done in a carefully planned manner, it is proper land care.

One chapter refers to Aboriginal land management and the author notes how the Elders can identify the vegetation where burning should begin. He also argues the skills needed for safe burning can and should be learned.

Back in the late 1970s I was in

Kununurra with a farm machinery technician who was driving to a farm. In the distance was a long smoke cloud – he said “that is the Aboriginal people burning”. This is not a new concept, by any means.

“Great Australian Bush Fire Stories” by Ian Mannix is a collection of remarkable tales from around the country. The book was published before the drastic fires of last summer but the context reveals that, as the bureaucracy that controls the system gets bigger, the risk to country communities grows.

A USA author well known to our farming population, Joel Salatin, has written “Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal”. This is a collection of stories from the farming front as they are challenged by regulations.

We find similar circumstances in this country, in particular where the media publishes opinions of metropolitan people who have no clue about what farmers can be faced with.

One example is where he was reported by a person who drove past his front paddock and saw cattle, not grazing but standing near the gate. When officials arrived he explained that the herd were rotated from paddock to paddock, and given this method had been done regularly over time, the cattle were simply wait-

ing to have the gate opened so they could move to new growth pastures.

Dubbo Field Naturalist & Conservation Society has a popular “Plants & Animals of the Dubbo Region” which identifies koala characteristics, habitats and distribution as they are located through the area. It is a useful reference to our surrounding natural resources.

About 20 years ago a major fire was burning in the north east of the Pilliga scrub. A local from the area told me that the fire control people were called late on a Friday afternoon, but the call-out operators didn’t start until late Friday so that they would benefit from the weekend penalty rates.

The fire burned for days.

Years later another example of central control was a few farmers on the western side of the Pilliga near Baradine wanting to burn a fire-break. The fire operators contacted their central control but they would not allow the burn to be made. The result was that the main fire came through and burned out the whole area.

Author Eric Rolls’ “A Million Wild Acres” is about the Pilliga Scrub.

Eric Rolls’ early days were on a family farm east of the scrub and in later life he continued farming on the western edge at Baradine.

His intimate knowledge of soils and plant life, and his determination to search out the natural and social history of the area makes this book so comprehensive. He details the early explorers, settlements, logging, farming and grazing enterprises over time, as well as rabbits, wild pigs and birds.

A current Royal Commission into fires and koala protection cannot recover past neglect. The decision process of government and its authorities were identified in both bushfire control results, and also there is last week’s fallout within the State Coalition over koala legislation.

The control of bushfires and how a government acts to prevent them is vital in koala population recovery.

The establishment of a New England state would represent country people more effectively, but an immediate solution for the current government is to face reality and not metropolitan votes.

Waiting for answer to coal seam gas questions

& Thumbs Up to the two young men at Petrie’s Mitre 10 who were very helpful

Contributed by MARGARET MCDONALD

when serving a senior lady last week.

CRITICAL questions about the Narrabri Coal Seam Gas Project, given the green light by the NSW government and listed to be subsidised by the Federal Government in their post-Covid-19 economy strategy, were delivered to Dubbo’s National Party State and Federal MPs, Mr Dugald Saunders and the Hon. Mr Mark Coulton on Tuesday, September 8.

Dubbo Environment Group members spent five mornings in the last three weeks collecting letters from local Dubbo shoppers and visitors from Cobar, Nyngan, Parkes, Mudgee, Taree, Wellington, Baradine, Coonabarabran, Tomingley, Gulargambone, Gilgandra, Walgett, Newcastle, Largs and Tasmania.

The letter boxes to Mr Saunders and Mr Coulton contain 212 and 219 letters respectively.

The letters ask Mr Saunders why the industry is being considered at all when Santos has no scientifically verified strategy to dispose of the 33,600 tonnes of toxic salt/year produced by the fracking process.

The example of Queensland’s gas fields has shown that the initial number of wells to be approved (850 for Narrabri) could continue to expand over the decades to 10,000.

He promised pre-election to fight “tooth and nail” to stop any extraction industry which had a negative impact upon our community.

Water security, which is of paramount importance to agricultural business, is being placed at risk.

The letters for Mr Coulton ask

Thumbs Up to the hundreds of health workers and support staff who do so much to make Dubbo Hospital such an important asset to our community.

missions were tendered to the Independent Planning Commission on the Santos Narrabri Project.

Of these submissions, 98 per cent were objections.

That the NSW residents do not want this insidious industry is indisputable. Our elected MP’s need to explain why they are betraying their constituents.

Our group met Mr Saunders in March of this year to ask 19 questions about the lifting of the floodplain embargo in the northern basin. No response to those questions has ever been received. Our community is extremely concerned about coal seam gas in this region.

They are concerned for the irreparable damage that can occur. They expect, as our elected taxpayer funded representatives, that Mr Saunders and Mr Coulton answer their questions expediently.

why the industry is listed for special Federal tax-payer subsidisation when electricity prices will actually increase because of gas extraction.

The amount of jobs created by renewable energy expenditure has been estimated as three times the amount for fossil fuel projects.

Australia is already emitting too much carbon to meet Paris targets of keeping global warming to below 2 degrees celcius.

Local, State and National citizens have been fighting to stop the Santos coal seam gas fracking industry in the Pilliga for 20 years.

In 2017, the NSW government received more than 23,000 submissions to its Narrabri environmental impact statement. Of these submissions, 18,000 were objections.

ADVERTORIAL

Dubbo Radio Cabs has been in motion 65 years Imagine a taxi without a radio. Hard to believe now but for Dubbo Radio Cabs, the city’s longest serving taxi co-op, such were their humble beginnings.

After WWII returned servicemen provided Dubbo with a taxi service until two-way radios were introduced, ushering in the need by the state government to enable regulation and management of taxi services in NSW. By 1955, two-way radios were introduced into cabs governed by the same legislation granting licences to radio stations.

“Dubbo Radio Cabs was technically a licenced radio station too!” Dubbo Taxis board member Terry Mullens said.

The region was not eligible for individual “radio” licences for every single cab, so the decision was made to streamline the operation and acquire one licence.

Dubbo Taxis, trading as the incorporated Dubbo Radio Cabs Cooperative Ltd was formed.

Every cab owner is a member of the organisation but remains an individual functioning business with self-employed bailee drivers which Dubbo Radio Cabs Cooperative supports every day, with the taxi base supporting them with dispatch of work and fares on account.

In the early years, the cooperative quickly grew to having eighteen taxi plates.

By the 1970s, these also included wheelchair accessible vehicles operated by the cooperative through leases.

Today, 65 years later, the fleet consists of 22 taxi services, five of which are wheelchair

accessible taxis, plus two silver service hire vehicles.

“The taxi industry in Dubbo supports around 81 drivers with a reliable source of income and in 2008 a partnership with Bathurst and Orange taxi services was formed to create the “Country Taxi Call Centre” and provide our fleets with a computerised dispatch service that was necessary to allow twenty four hour services and support to the drivers in these towns,” Mr Mullens said.

“It’s an excellent way to have an income on the side or work it like a part time or full time job. We had a driver who was caring for two elderly parents, so it allowed him an income and the flexibility his lifestyle required.”

Today ordering a taxi is provided in a number of ways by calling 131008, setting up Easy Call on your home phone (which allows you to dial the number and order a taxi without speaking to an operator), hop online to book via the website, www.dubbotaxis.com. au, or using the smart phone taxi app called Smarthail ,available through Apple store or Google play.

Drivers can also make a booking with a driver dispatch screen which is in every car.

Businesses that find themselves ordering taxis for customers can order taxis online through the website or via a tablet instillation called Quick Booker.

“Dubbo taxis endeavour to provide a fast and regular service and will continue to service the public of Dubbo and its visitors with a modern fleet of cars and friendly owner operators and drivers,” Mr Mullens said.

Meet the Volunteer In 1954, 28 taxi drivers in Dubbo ran an appeal in aid of well-known identity, 28-year-old Cyril Flood to help him get to Sydney to have an operation to straighten a leg.

They aimed to raise 300 pounds, with a dance at the Railway Institute Hall, taking subscriptions from punters at picnic race meets or on the job, driving their taxis.

Cyril got his operation and is the namesake of the Church Street rotunda.

Volunteering and going that extra mile is in Dubbo Radio Cabs Cooperative culture and the board are also a group of dedicated volunteers who appreciate and value their time given in support of a much-needed service which benefits the city.

In recognition of the value volunteers bring to the lives of many living in Dubbo and beyond, Dubbo Radio Cabs will present a new column in Dubbo Photo News, called “Meet the Volunteer”, starting Thursday, October 1.

Sainsburys still going strong after 45 years

The newest franchise is Sainsbury Hyundai. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

SAINSBURY Automotive Dubbo founder, Bob Sainsbury established his business in 1975 and 45 years later, it is still going strong and still locally owned.

Bob also has another claim to fame as the founder of the city’s very own, “Auto Alley” on Bourke Street.

A bold decision in 1981 to move his business, Sainsbury Toyota, away from the CBD where competitors were located, showed he had big plans for the future which have all been realised.

Today, Sainsbury Automotive Dubbo has three locations in the Bourke Street/River Street auto alley precinct boasting nine manufacturer brands and a dedicated all service and parts facility.

These include Kia, Hyundai, Isuzu Ute, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, LDV, SsangYong and RAM Trucks.

When Bob started out in Forbes in 1975, he was the youngest Toyota dealership owner in Australia. Within two years, he needed help to manage his growing business, and roped in his brother Colin

to join him.

After just four years, Toyota was keen to see the Sainsbury brothers in a bigger dealership, so they relocated their families to Dubbo and Sainsbury Toyota was open for business.

Sadly, Bob would soon be taking the business forward alone, when Colin passed away, aged 35, from melanoma.

“In one foul swoop I lost one of my best friends, my only brother and my business partner. We had a good working relationship. He virtually took the new sales manager role, and I was the dealer principal.

He bought into a small part of the business too,” Bob said.

Bob carried on and was able to attract Jaguar/Rover and Hino Truck franchises meaning he had to buy the land either side of number 3, to gain extra display areas for new and used cars.

The end of the 80s, Bob’s other love was calling. He sold the business to go farming but within four years, he was back on Auto Alley establishing Suzuki and acquiring BMW and Peugeot franchises.

In 1995, Bob partnered with current dealer principal Terry Green and his wife, Kathy, who purchased the business outright.

“As times and demands of society change, Sainsbury Automotive partly owes its ongoing success due to its ability to constantly evolve with the needs of its new and established loyal customers,” Bob said.

Today, under Terry’s leadership, Sainsbury Automotive Dubbo has grown to be Dubbo’s largest privately owned and operated dealership, as well as being one of the largest motor dealers in country NSW. “Today we are a true multi-franchise dealership, housing nine new car brands as well as an extensive range of quality pre-owned vehicles, along with a state-of-the-art service and parts facilities,” Terry said.

Beyond the dealerships, Sainsbury’s is supportive of community, sponsoring charitable organisations such as Hear Our Heart Ear Bus Project and Little Wings, plus local sporting clubs.

Sainsbury Toyota opened in Forbes in 1975, making occasional opportunity sales like these 12 Landcruisers sold to one customer who thanked Bob by sending him 250 Havana cigars in personalised boxes along with the bill. “Anybody that was having a baby after that, got a box of cigars,” Bob said.

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 An armadillo’s shell is so hard that it can deflect a bullet, as a Texas man discovered to his chagrin when he took aim at one. The bullet ricocheted into the man’s jaw and he had to be airlifted to a hospital. The armadillo, on the other hand, strolled away unscathed. z In the USA, one million dogs hold first place in their owner’s last will and testament. z The original time machine in “Back to the Future” was not a DeLorean, but an old refrigerator. According to HuffPost, “Ultimately, it was determined that it probably was not a good idea to use a refrigerator in such a manner as kids might want to re-enact the scene.” z Napoleon introduced brass buttons on soldier uniforms’ sleeves to discourage them from wiping their noses.

z The first webcam was created to check a coffeepot! In 1993, researchers in the University of Cambridge’s computer science department really didn’t like getting up from their chairs to check the coffeepot just to find it empty, so they wired a system that would stream three images per minute from the Trojan Room, where the pot was kept, to the internal computer network. By the end of that year, the stream made it onto the new World Wide Web, endowing the Trojan Room coffeepot with international, if brief, fame. z The asteroids in “Star Wars” were actually painted potatoes. z When English Romantic poet, painter and engraver William Blake was just 4, he claimed to see God through a window. Throughout the rest of his life, Blake said he often communed with angels, incorporating these visions into his art.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z “In my shed, I have stored small bits of hardware in baby-food jars. They were all on a shelf together, and when I needed one, I would have to move bottles around until I found the right one. I took a piece of 1-by-4 and cut it into 2-foot sections. Then I glued the bottoms of the bottles in a row to the wood. Now, they still sit on the shelf, but all I have to do is slide the 1-by-4s out and find the right jar. I can still see in the sides, and it makes them so much easier to deal with.” – J.N. z “My child has so many toys that they were starting to take over his room and our house. We got three big plastic storage tubs and distributed the toys among them. Now the rule is that only one tub can be open at a time, so if he wants to play with other toys, he must pick up all the toys from the tub he is playing with first. It

has made such a difference since the house gets picked up at least once a day.” – C.I. z Here’s a boating safety tip: Make sure you check the weather before you head out for a day on the water.

And everyone – large or small – needs a life vest! z “Lots of people are selling things online now to make a few bucks, and that’s cool. I know I have things I’ve picked up that I don’t use. Why not make a little money? Here’s a tip though: Do a little research on price for your item. You want to avoid listing it for too much (no interest) or too little (yes, it gets snapped up quickly, but you could have gotten more for it). A little homework goes a long way.” – C.A. z No red wine for your recipe? You can substitute an equal amount of grape juice or beef broth in most recipes.

...inspiring locals!

MAAS CUP WESTERN RAMS 18S

Space Cadets upset Raiders in match of the season

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL “HEARTBREAKING!” was how one Macquarie die hard described the golden point loss to Parkes in Sunday’s quarter final.

“If only we could have landed a couple of the four goals we missed.”

Coach Jim Kelly was full of pride for his young Raiders who had to rebuild after a tough year in 2019. He has a close-knit group who will be much better for this season’s experience.

Parkes scored two late tries in normal time to take the match against the top-ranked Raiders into extra time, missed a fairly easy penalty as the buzzer sounded in the first period then capitalised on a loose tackle by a Macquarie forward to spear

downfield in “unlimited golden point.”

Parkes had all the momentum in the final play and after big carries by Cody Crisp, Tobe Miller and Finnley Neilsen, junior wizard Jamie Thorpe set up ‘people’s champion’ Jason Wright for the match-winning try in the corner.

Parkes winger Jarmarra Goolagong scored plenty of plaudits from his coach.

“Jarmarra was sensational, slotting crucial sideline goals and regaining momentum with some bullocking runs.”  Parkes Spacemen 26 (Jay Wright 2, Finnley Neilsen, Jarmarra Gooloogong, Toby Miller tries; Gooloogong 3 goals) defeated Macquarie Raiders 22 (Brandan Hamilton, Sonny Knight, Kaiden Hill, Dalin Smith, Nicholas Tighe tries; Nathan Walker goal)

RUGBY UNION

Roos just a hop away from competition leaders

Johnny Mafiti embraced by flanker Bourke

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL

DUBBO Rugby Club old boys left Apex Oval on Saturday mightily impressed by the Roos.

The locals fell agonisingly short, going down 25-22 but proved their mettle in all aspects. The major talking points were the return of champions centre Filisone Pauta, the second double in as many weeks by Charlie Kempston and the 80 minute effort by the forwards.

The main worry is how to neutralise Emus sizeable and dominant front row. The Roos engine room has battled much larger opponents every match but the skill of Emus “big Chooks” in the set pieces and in open play was a telling factor.

Dubbo’s lower grade teams, despite finishing on top of the ladder will have to earn their spots in the grand final away from home at Orange on Saturday in the first playoff; the Roos first grade play the in-form Orange City Lions at Apex on Sunday.  Orange Emus 25 (Sam Greatbatch, Aidan Baker, Sam Green, Archer Hall tries; Jamil Khalifi 1 conversion, penalty goal) d Dubbo Kangaroos 22 (Charlie Kempston 2, Jayden Blake, Johnny Mafiti tries; Jake Styles 1 conversion)

DANNY Barber has the world at his wheels but will have to wait until the pandemic lifts to showcase his talent on the international scene.

Last week’s story on the centenary of Bob Spears win in the World Championships prompted a couple of notable responses.

The Dubbo Cycle club pointed out that young Danny was to have competed in the green and gold at the Junior World Championships in Egypt. Unfortunately, when the virus hit, the Worlds were called off.

Danny was confident of selection as he was the fastest in the 200m sprint and in the 1km Time Trial in the U19s

following comparisons with all comers from respective State titles.

The 2021 Junior World Cycling Championships have been rescheduled to April next year, subject to the worldwide COVID situation.

Danny and club mates Haylee Fuller and Dylan Eather will all be second year U19 riders in 2021 and all in good shape to push for places in the national team.

There are no guarantees but it would have been good to have a Dubbo boy contesting the Sprint Junior World Championship exactly 100 years after another Dubbo sporting giant, Bob Spears, had worn the crown as Senior World Champion.

Shaun Towney and Jack Hartwig appear to be helping this young Hawk to land softly!

Two Ducks to his brood and a pair of chooks

By GEOFF MANN IF there was no lockdown on borders many Ducks would normally be up north but for the 17 who turned up on Sunday there were major celebrations.

“Craig Ross arrived at the pool all smiles with news that he and his partner had become the proud parents of twin baby boys during the week,” Publicity Officer Judy Walsh advised.

“The Ducklings timing was spot on – they will share a birthday with sister Michaela!”

Maybe it was the grand news but from all reports the new dad was still floating on cloud nine when he took the chooks in both “B’s” – breaststroke and backstroke.

Tony Wall made it a thrice of pairs, doubling with the

25 metre butterfly and the 25 metre freestyle. In typical fashion, the understated golden Duck told it as it was: “Easy”!

Norm Bahr broke his time in the final of the 50 metre freestyle, gifting Judy Walsh the trophy.

This Sunday is the Champion of Champions trophy and the following week (27th), Ducks will be striving for the Tom Flynn Iron trophy.

RUGBY UNION

Kookaburras, Rams and Devils celebrate “Covid Cup” premierships

Western boy becomes Force

By JOHN RYAN

By GEOFF MANN IN a year that we will never forget, Coonabarabran Kookaburras, Walgett Rams and the Harden Red Devils wrote their way into history as the first pandemic premiership holders!

Coonabarabran completed a dream 2020, returning to Central West Rugby after being unable to field a team last year and seized the Oils Plus Northern Cup 29-8

from Blayney Rams.

Coonabarabran’s win bore a remarkable similarity to their cross-code colleagues, the Unicorns, who took last year’s Castlereagh League premiership after failing to muster up 13 the previous season.

Both have broken long droughts – the Kookaburras last won in 1992; the Unicorns win in 2019 was their first in 25 years.

Walgett marked

their dominance of the decade with a fourth Western Plains title in 6 years, running up a cricket score, 60-0 against Nyngan Bulls.

Down in the Southern Oils Plus pool, Harden Red Devils held off the gutsy Young Yabbies 27-13.

Narromine Gorillas and CSU go to ground

By GEOFF MANN RUGBY teams are known to cry “dead blowies” at inconvenient times, driving everyone to the floor, ground or whatever vehicle they’re in to avoid having to shout.

One could be forgiven for thinking that’s what happened at Cale Oval on Saturday but it

Shock loss can’t “shook” United

By GEOFF MANN MACQUARIE United Football Club has been awarded the President’s Plate after a dominant Western premier League Football season.

Despite losing 3-1 against Panorama Goats in Bathurst on Sat. MU’s loss will be a poignant reminder that it’s the big games at the tail end of the season which determine premierships while Panorama clinched a spot in the playoffs.

wasn’t dead pests that were causing them grief, it was a swarm of bees buzzing across the oval!

Thankfully the bees buzzed off to chase spring blossoms but that was no help to the reigning New Holland Ag Cup premiers from CSU. They were beset by Gorillas who emerged from the “mist” to inflict a 50 points to nil “sting”.

LAWN BOWLS

Dubbo Combination bowlers rolled up in numbers MORE than 30 players took to the greens at Dubbo City Bowling Club on a superb spring Sunday.

Roger Shirwin and Ricky See took top honours on the day; John McMillan, Gordon Scott and Col Cottee were the runners up in each group.

Three bowlers made “the perfect bowl” while “Resters” were awarded to Pat Shirwin, Kay McKenzie and Frank Vaughan.

Gaye Cottee, Shirley Marchant and Ian Hobson drew Lucky Numbers.

DUBBO Wallaby Tom Robertson won’t be lining up for the Waratahs in 2021 after 62 appearances with the club – he’s signed with the Western Force.

Capped 24 times with the national team, Robertson made his international debut in Perth in 2016, the same year he first ran onto the field with the Waratahs.

The prop’s association with the NSW Rugby pathway stretches back to his involvement with the Australian Schoolboys, Junior Wallabies and the NSW Country Eagles.

Robertson is currently studying for a medical degree at Sydney University.

NSWRU General Manager of Rugby, Tim Rapp said that Robertson had made a significant contribution to the Waratahs during his time with the club.

“Tom’s been fantastic for us over several years here at the Waratahs and personifies the strength of our game in country areas,” Rapp said.

“He’s developed right through our pathway and we’ve seen him grow from a talented schoolboy into a Wallaby.

“Whilst you’d like to keep all of your players, roster management is a tricky balancing act made more difficult in the current climate - Tom’s taking up an opportunity elsewhere and we wish him all the best, he’s been a wonderful contributor to our squad over many years and we hope that he may return in the future to continue that relationship.”

Robertson said it was a tough decision to leave the club where he had played the entirety of his Super Rugby career.

“Being a part of this club has been one of my proudest achievements and it was a difficult decision to leave,” Robertson said.

“I’ve loved being a Waratah, playing alongside some amazing players and learning from some of the best rugby minds in the country.

“The club has supported my growth as a player on the field, while allowing me to pursue my education off it, something I’ll always be grateful for.

“I’d like to thank everyone both past and present at the Waratahs for everything they’ve contributed to my career to date – I wouldn’t be here without them.”
