SPREAD THE

CHEER! By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

DUBBO Photo News has a very special relationship with Narromine councillor Les Lambert, pictured here getting into the Christmas spirit. Not only is he always a breath of fresh air when he visits our office every Thursday, he’s usually got someone riding shotgun in the community car he drives who he’s giving a hand to so they can access appointments in Dubbo. While here in our office, Mr Lambert loads up his car with bundles of Dubbo Photo News so that, on his return to Narromine, he can continue giving to his community, by delivering our paper to key locations around the town so residents there can keep up with the Dubbo region’s news, and just occasionally read about themselves as well! If anyone embodies community spirit, it’s Mr Lambert, and despite a very bumpy year for all, it’s heartening to know that there are people out there like him who despite it all, continue to spread the cheer.

Community voices opposition to South Bridge proposals

NOT HAPPY By LYDIA PEDRANA

ACCORDING to residents who attended last week’s South Bridge Community Consultation session, an overwhelming number of locals are opposed to the two proposed routes put forward by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC). Community members argue there are more sensible ways to ease the city’s growing congestion issues while improving freight efficiency, traffic flow

and flood immunity. One of the options put forward by DRC, estimated to cost $34 million, would run from Minore Road to the Macquarie and Bligh Street intersection, with signals. South Street would become a cul-de-sac, accessible via Tamworth Street with access to the town’s iconic Sandy Beach reconfigured. The second option, priced at $36 million, would run from Minore Road, curve north to

Bligh Street and continue to the CBD. There were two of four concept designs created for Council by the Newcastle-based Balmoral Group. Controversially, the other two designs have not been made public. Local personal trainer and business owner Rod Fardell said this was raised on the night. “There was a little bit of disappointed expressed in relation to the $100,000 spent and there

were four options originally and only two options shown to us by Council; there was a bit of conjecture there about why all options weren’t presented,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “I think if you spend $100,000 and they come up with four options and they want community to make comment on it, it’s probably best community look at all four than just be given two.” Personal trainer and business owner Rod Fardell believes all four design concepts should Continued on page 2 be made public.

IN BRIEF

More people in regions move over 100km to access aged care THE Office of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety Research has found many people in non-metropolitan regions move more than 100 kilometres, or drive for more than 60 minutes, from their home when they begin permanent residential aged care or use respite in an aged care facility. In regional and rural areas, the share of people that moved over 100 kilometres to enter permanent residential care varied between 10 per cent and 16 per cent. The share increased to 34 per cent among the people who had been living in remote regions and 53 per cent among those who had been living in very remote regions.

Locals suggest alternate routes for South Bridge that would avoid CBD Continued from page 1

State Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders agreed. “The NSW Government gave Dubbo Regional Council $100,000 to commission a study into potential routes, and I expected all options from that study would be put forward,” he said. “I would encourage council to allow the community to have input on all four options provided in the report, to allow for the best possible outcome.” However, a push to have all four options put to the community was shutdown at a Council meeting back in July with Dubbo Mayor Councillor Ben Shields describing them as “so ridiculous,” at the time. Meanwhile, local businessman Kevin Saul described the two options presented by DRC at the Community Consultation evening as “stupid,” suggesting the concepts will only move traffic problems to a different area of town, rather than providing a solution. “What they (DRC) showed was the growth of Dubbo and where they want to put the bridge there’s no growth, so they just want to put 15,000 cars into South Dubbo just to move them off the LH Ford and Cobra Street, which is stupid because that’s designated a major highway and now, we want to move stuff into a non-designated major highway, so that doesn’t

make any sense to me,” Mr Saul, who lives in Macquarie Street in South Dubbo, told Dubbo Photo News. “It’s just pure economics, the amount of work that you would have to do to build the roads up in South Dubbo to handle 15,000 movements a day, is incredible, and none of those streets are able to take it.” Additionally, Mr Saul doesn’t believe forcing traffic into the town centre is realistic. “They (DRC) are saying we’re going to move everyone up into the CBD, but they are not going to go into the CBD, they are going to come off onto Macquarie Street and come to the traffic lights at the corner of Macquarie and Cobra Street, or they are going to go up Tamworth Street and try and come out at Fitzroy Street at the roundabout,” he explained. “There is no exit strategy out of South Dubbo onto Cobra Street for 15,000 cars.” Instead, Mr Saul suggests rediverting traffic around the outskirts of town, similar to a bypass – an idea which was met with applause at the consultation event. “Where Hennessey Road meets the Old Dubbo Road and where Margaret Crescent meets Macquarie Street, there’s an old railway bridge that goes across to Dundullimal and then over to the Obley Road, so you could actually rejig that bridge, and I’m no ex-

“There were residents there from north Dubbo, south Dubbo, east and west Dubbo, and there was not one person in favour of either of the options.” – Kevin Saul pert, but you’ve already got some infrastructure in place,” he said. “You’ve got people trying to get out of the building areas of Kintyre and around the back of the golf course and everything else like that, so instead of funnelling them up into the city, you funnel them down the south past the zoo, across this new bridge, across the bottom part of Southlakes, they can go up onto Wheelers Lane, they can go up the new Boundary Road into the school precinct and Blueridge, so instead of putting 15,000 cars into a domestic or residential area, you put 15,000 cars into areas that can handle it. “The whole thing is if you are trying to get them off LH Ford Bridge and off Cobra Street, get them out of the city, take them down south where there’s no problems, the road out past the zoo will handle that sort of traffic; we could put a set of lights in at Obley Road and the highway, another set of lights perhaps across the bridge at Old Dubbo

Road and Hennessey, put a set of traffic lights in there to handle the traffic flow, and that’s it.” Additionally, this route would not see the need for Sandy Beach to be “reconfigured” nor have main roads passing through the Lady Cutler sports precinct. According to Mr Saul and Mr Fardell, this idea has the support of many who attended the consultation. “All the people at the meeting last Wednesday seemed pretty happy with the idea,” Mr Saul said. “There were residents there from north Dubbo, south Dubbo, east and west Dubbo, and there was not one person in favour of either of the options.” However, Cr Shields isn’t sure this route will suit all residents. “You’d have to get some traffic studies done, I’m not too sure if the people of the massive growth area, which is Delroy Park, that sort of place, will go all the way out to Dundullimal to access the CBD, you would have to do traffic studies, but again, you’ve got to get this right, you can’t just do some willy nilly thing, half-baked idea,” he said. “This bridge will be here probably for the next a hundred years and we don’t want a hundred years-worth of problems.”

PUP IN A PURPLE PATCH

Fingers crossed for the Fireworks By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THERE’S few people walking planet Earth right now not looking forward to turning their back on 2020 but Dubbo residents may yet get the chance of seeing it out with a fireworks night. “We’ve lodged our COVID-safety plan. The NSW Health, NSW Police and Dubbo Regional Council are working with us to endeavour to make this happen,” Dubbo Show Society secretary Sue Hood told Dubbo Photo News. “They want something to happen and they’re sceptical about how it’s going to happen, but I think what we’ve put in place, they’re quite happy with.” If it gets the green light, ticketing will be limited. “If New Year’s Eve fireworks night goes ahead it will be limited to 3000 people, so it will be first in, first served. We’ve got to go through a ticketing system. Even though the ticket will be free we’d be asking people to put a gold coin donation in, per person. “They’d have to sit on a rug or a chair. Once they register their ticket online, we’d know how many families there are and can allocate squares, or spaces, for those family members to sit together. “It is still up to NSW Health and NSW Police to get this running, but everyone’s positive,” Mrs Hood said. Fingers crossed and watch this space.

DUBBO-NEWCASTLE: COMPLETING THE RAIL LINK

Progress on Gulgong to Maryvale rail plan By LYDIA PEDRANA FORMER Member for Dubbo John Mason is “delighted” at news the freight rail line that currently runs from Newcastle to Gulgong may finally be extended to Dubbo. Plans for this link were originally drawn up in the 1930s but were suspended in the 1950s, and following a feasibility study showing positive economic benefits, it will now move into the design and planning stage. Mr Mason, a retired Liberal Party member, who served as Minister for Lands and Forests from 1975 to 1976 and Leader of the Opposition from 1978 to 1981, spoke to Dubbo Photo News in

October urging the government to revisit and invest in completing the original plans. At the time, Mr Mason said connecting the Central West to the Port of Newcastle would bring long-term benefits for economic growth, industry and employment. Announcing the extension on Monday, current Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the 72km missing link will be recommended for design planning in the 2020/21 Fixing Country Rail budget. “This work will include a detailed examination of existing infrastructure, its condition and

accurate costings of building the link,” he said. “This link has the potential to make moving freight between the Central West and the east coast

easier, reducing journey times and connecting produce and products to new markets.” Mr Mason was thrilled to hear about the possible extension. “Oh, good, that was the original idea,” he said, after hearing the news for the first time. “I just think it’s something that should have been done all those years ago and unfortunately it

was stopped. “I think it’s going to prove to be an asset to not only the west, but a great asset to Newcastle and to the state, so when it’s linked to the inner rail, it’s going to have great influence in the end right to the other states that are linked up to the inner rail.” On top of the Gulgong to Maryvale extension, Mr Saunders is also in further discussions with industry and stakeholders around the reactivation of the 93km Kandos to Gulgong link. Both projects were assessed under the NSW Government’s $400 million Fixing Country Rail program dedicated to improving rail efficiency.

Concerns over environmental impacts of South Bridge options By LYDIA PEDRANA

THE environmental impacts of the two South Bridge options proposed by Dubbo Regional Council have raised significant concern among community members. Furthermore, attendees of the community consultation session last week have expressed disappointment in the lack of ‘community consultation’ for the project. President of Dubbo RiverCare Group Inc. Daryl Green said the group’s members are against both of DRC’s proposals, describing them as “short-sighted”. Mr Green also questioned whether the idea of keeping Dubbo a ’10-minute city’ is worth the cost to the local environment. “We are not sure where the 10-minute city concept came from, but if we accept that for what it is, the business case says it will save 4.5 seconds on an average trip,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “Is it 4.5 seconds for irrevocable damage either of these bridges will cause to the river environment, the floodplain, old River red gums, some many hundreds of years old that stabilise the riverbanks and are essential habitat for birds, frogs, lizards and native fish, the cultural heritage sites and so much more. “These bridges will completely compromise the sporting fields at Lady Cutler oval and the safety of the thousands of children and adults that spend many hours here on weekends not to mention the hundreds of thousands of ratepayers money that council spend on maintaining these playing fields and creating new fields.” The RiverCare Group Inc. has worked since 2002 to raise awareness and care for the health of the Macquarie River by controlling weeds, repairing habitat for endangered fish, planting native trees, collecting tonnes of rubbish and educating the public about the river’s importance. Mr Green said the proposed South Bridge options will obliterate the “nearly half a million dollars” worth of time and energy contributed by the group’s volunteers. “These bridges will compro-

mise the floodplain, it is almost impossible for a road not to divert water crossing a floodplain, destroy the aesthetics of Regand Park, Tamworth Street and Sandy Beach as high visitation areas and destroy so much of the hard work that volunteers have done along the river,” he said. “We are also very concerned that the consultants doing the ‘business case’ will strongly base their study on the business of the city and place low values on the environmental, amenity and community values to come up with an overall favourable economic valuation for the project.” RiverCare is urging council and the state government to perform a “proper, integrated study” and take a “visionary” approach by thriving to make Dubbo the “cleanest, most sustainable and healthiest city west of the divide,” rather than being “fixated on growing, growing, growing the city to extensive limits.” Similarly, Jill Cross-Antony, founder of the Save Dubbo’s Sandy Beach (SDSB) petition, has serious concerns for the town’s main recreation corridor should South Bridge ‘Option A’ go ahead. According to the SDSB Facebook page, which has almost 300 members, Sandy Beach is of significant ecological importance to native birds and fish, a popular spot for recreational activities including swimming, picnics, Dragon Boating and kayaking, home to the weekly Saturday Park Run

and annual Titan Macquarie Mud Run, a popular entrance point to the 13km Tracker Riley cycleway and surrounded by large overhanging gum trees which provide shade to the nearby sporting fields. Ms Cross-Antony said a large overhead bridge across Sandy Beach will interfere with natural water flowers, exacerbate land degradation and cause significant noise and air pollution, while also putting the safety of those utilising the nearby sports fields at risk. “Sandy Beach is the only green space that provides river access for swimming and recreation close to the CBD and this area has been valued by the community from the earliest photos in 1924, that I managed to source,” she explained. “Sandy Beach is like our own national park except we don’t have to pay an entry fee; we have green space, walking and cycling trails, water sports, and people often sit on the sand to enjoy the quiet environment and birdsong. “A new road from Sandy Beach to Bligh Street will cut through mature trees and adjacent playing fields that are in use all year round by many sports clubs and community members. “There has been no mention of the large volumes of traffic that will obviously be detrimental to the safety of the numerous sporting club participants, and no solution put forward to route the an-

ticipated traffic through the CBD once the new road terminates at the intersection with Wingewarra Street.” Furthermore, Ms Cross-Antony criticised DRC for its failed attempt at properly consulting the community. “At the ‘Community Consultation’ on Wednesday, November 25, the facilitator of the panel of four stated they would not talk about a ring road, or options three and four, they would only discuss the options for bridges over Sandy Beach and Tamworth Street,” she said. “This was not community consultation, or a democratic process. “My thoughts are there needs to be a thorough and rigorous process of community consultation. “This is about the community having their say on all four options and any others the community identifies should be considered.” With Ms Cross-Antony’s sentiment regarding the lack of consultation strongly supported by several locals who attended last week’s meeting, Dubbo Mayor Councillor Ben Shields agreed community opinion must be taken into account. “My personal view is if the community don’t want to go with South Bridge or are upset with the location, we need to go back to the drawing board,” Cr Shields said. “In my mind, if the community don’t want a bridge anywhere near Sandy Beach, well, we shouldn’t build a bridge anywhere near Sandy Beach, it’s as simple as that. “As a mayor and as a Councillor, my view is always to do what the community expects us to do.” Despite the project being a local issue rather that state one, Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders is also siding with locals. “I have said all along that it’s in the best interests of the community for all four options for a South Bridge to be put out for consultation, and I share the concerns of the community when it comes to putting thousands of vehicle movements through Sandy Beach and the Lady Cutler complex,” he said.

VALE TONY KELLY

Former council GM Tony Kelly dies Tony Kelly is pictured seated (dark suit) to the right of Mayor Tom Slattery during his tenure as town clerk/ general manager. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED BY THE LOCAL STUDIES COLLECTION, DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY LIFELONG friend Ross Tighe describes the late Tony Kelly as a very determined man. “When he lost his first leg he came back and mastered that, and then when he lost the second one 18 months or two years after that, I’ve never seen anyone walk on two artificial legs, or prosthesis, like him. “If he had long trousers on you wouldn’t know he had them. He was absolutely brilliant. No walking sticks, no nothing. “He worked very hard at ther-

apy and physio. I’ve never seen someone so determined. It’s probably come from his football days and training; he was just determined to make it back. “He also used to go to Lourdes after his amputations. He’d go up there and talk, and help amputees who’d just had it done, give them counselling and encouraging them to get up and have a go.” Anthony (Tony) Kelly passed away, aged 77, on Thursday, November 26. Councillors and staff of Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) issued a statement expressing their deep

sadness at the news. He was employed by Dubbo City Council as an assistant accountant from June 26, 1968, appointed to the position of Town Clerk on April 8, 1975 and retained this position with varying titles of Town Clerk/General Manager and then General Manager until his retirement in 2004. “I was a Councillor during Mr Kelly’s time with Dubbo City Council and I can honestly say his leadership has had a tremendous impact on the community,” Mayor of the Dubbo Region Ben Shields said.

“We can count as his legacy the treasured recreation assets within the city that are the river corridor, Lady Cutler Park, soccer facilities, Ollie Robbins Oval, Nita McGrath Netball complex and the north Dubbo riverbank ovals which include the Dave Martin cricket nets. Additionally, the cycleway to the Zoo and around the West Dubbo riverbank and across the cycleway bridge to link Tamworth Street are all initiatives of Mr Kelly as General Manager Read more about Mr Kelly’s sporting achievements in Dubbo Photo News’ Sport section.

Kintyre welcomes new residents The “red carpet” for new residents rolls out at Kintyre Living long before they move in. “I was invited to the Christmas party here almost a year before my home was built,” resident of just three weeks, Rhonda Millar said. Kintyre staff worked with Rhonda to address her personal wishes and allow finishing touches to make the house her home. “I had the timber flooring put in, the fire-place and the hanging lights in the kitchen,” she said. “The fact I was shown the map of where the new houses were being built. The fact I could choose and make some changes made me really happy. The quality of the build is also great,” she said. While new premises like Rhonda’s continue to come on the market, residents of just five weeks, Helen and Malcolm Blackstock say the Kintyre home they’d previously seen a couple of years ago, was available this time again, and was seeming to be telling them to stay. “When we first went through it, I just had a quick look over my shoulder,” Malcolm said. I didn’t want to come because I thought we couldn’t afford it, and Helen kept saying, ‘oh, it’s nice isn’t it?’

‘Since then, I heard of friends that are living here which I didn’t know. One couple we know have been here for 12 years and love it.” The Blackstocks’ Kintyre home backs on to an extended yard and a fringe of nature strip with established trees. Helen has no trouble attracting the birds she loves to see in their garden, including a magpie that appears to have adopted her. “I do like having our own yard and not feeling closed in,” she said. David and Merilyn Cosier moved from Wellington to Kintyre in April this year. “Kintyre were very, very good to us,” Merilyn explained about their move during COVID restrictions. “We used the garage and left our things in there as we needed. Kintyre really helped us with the transition,” she said. Since moving in, the couple have wasted no time to beautify their patch, planting a colourful flower garden, trees and veges. For all new residents the welcome is warm and empathetic the transition can be challenging. “I owned a business and had a two-story four-bedroom home with three living areas on a 32-acre property,” Rhonda said.

David and Merilyn Cosier moved to Kintyre from Wellington in April. “I had bought a one-acre block because I love trees and space, but my kids just told me, ‘mum, get real’. “Then a lady I’ve known for 20 years came to my business and I asked her where she was living now, and she said Kintyre, which I didn’t know about and she explained it was a little out of town and opposite the zoo. “I felt comfortable as soon as I drove in here. It’s quiet, it’s private, it’s quite amazing how many people I know here already. The fact it was a little out of town and the trees in the zoo will never be taken down and I can hear the lions and the monkeys daily, which is just beautiful.

Helen and Malcolm Blackstock have found their patch. “If I travel next year, as I plan too, everything’s safe and will be maintained for me. Even if it comes to the point where I can’t look after myself anymore, the facilities are here,” Rhonda said. Downsizing for the Blackstocks meant an upsize in their living area. “We had a three-bedroom house but the loungeroom and dining room were smaller than this. Even though this a two bedroom, the bedrooms here are actually bigger.” Kintyre Living welcomes all new residents in their transition to the retirement village lifestyle. There are numerous opportunities to socialise, connect and share in community, at the Country Club, the Men’s Shed, by the pool, library, exercise room, and more choices, classes, activities and social groups at the Country Club and a Men’s Shed. “All I have to think about when I wake up in the morning is ask Helen, ‘what we should do today?’,” Malcolm Blacklock said.

ROAD SAFETY

On an airbag mission By JOHN RYAN

JUDY Amor faced one of a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst nightmares when her and husband Wayne got the call their daughter Lauren, had been involved in a car crash. The date was October 6 this year and luckily, all the occupants from both vehicles were okay. The crash happened at the intersection of Wingewarra and Gipps Street in central Dubbo. Judy said Lauren was travelling at 48km/hour in a 50km zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The driver of the other vehicle proceeded through a stop sign, with the two vehicles colliding. The impact of the collision caused the other vehicle to spin 180 degrees and end up on the traffic island, facing the direction from which it came,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Amor told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, all occupants from both vehicles were uninjured, and were checked as a precaution by NSW Ambulance Officers at the scene.â&#x20AC;? Lauren was driving a 2012 Subaru Outback â&#x20AC;&#x201C; her father, Wayne,

is an advocate of the brand because of their safety features and the family has used Subarus for 20 years, with both adult daughters strongly encouraged to purchase them. Mrs Amor said it really hit home to the family how important it was that the car Lauren was driving had been fitted with new airbags after the original had been declared unreliable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The importance of the Airbag Recall and well-known safety features of the Subaru vehicles hit home with us the minute we, as parents, arrived on the scene of our daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was sickening to witness, however, in the hours and days following, we felt enormous relief that our daughter was in a safe vehicle in which the airbags had been checked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Undoubtedly, this had saved her from sustaining injuries, or worse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this accident happened through no fault of hers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it could happen to anyone.â&#x20AC;? In light of their experience, Mrs Amor says she wants to get the

word out to Dubbo motorists to strongly encourage them to check if their vehicle is affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard a media report stating that despite all of the action taken to date to educate and inform owners of affected vehicles, there remains 90,000 vehicles whose owners are yet to fulfill their obligations in having their vehicle airbags checked/replaced,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no cost incurred to vehicle owners for replacing faulty Takata airbags. The issue is probably seen as a bit of an inconvenience for busy people who believe they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to be without their vehicle for a few hours.â&#x20AC;? She said if motorists refuse to replace the faulty airbags, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d support the state government

cancelling registrations of those vehicles, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it takes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience has reminded us of the importance of this issue. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be driving recklessly,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You only need to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time.â&#x20AC;?

INDUSTRY Super Australia (ISA) has welcomed a Retirement Income Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings which say Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compulsory super system has allowed millions to save for their retirement. The full 600-page report is yet to be assessed however and the ISA feel some claims by the Government are unfounded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait to see the actual report and work through the detail, but we hope it will not be used to ask Australians to sacrifice hundreds of thousands in guaranteed retirement savings for a vague promise of a wage increase that history shows will not occur,â&#x20AC;? Industry Super Australia chief executive Bernie Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two thirds of Australians who support the legislated and long-promised super increase would not take too kindly to politicians, who pocket 15 per cent super on top of their generous salary, using this review to snatch away their retirement savings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings must be used to support sensible reforms that will grow membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; savings, not cherry-picked to support pre-conceived policy ideas that will leave people and the nation worse off,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dean said. It is unknown if the report considered the millions of young Australians who took more than $35 billion from their super during COVID, dramatically changing their retirement savings trajectory.

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO residents and visitors taking advantage of the surrounds of our wonderful river will have noticed the mass of green which shot up across Dubbo from February rains onward – particularly along the local riverbanks. The green growth is very welcome but a large amount of this green growth are classified as weeds and the Dubbo Rivercare Group does a huge amount of work getting rid of identified pest species, predominantly on council reserves. Dubbo Rivercare president Daryl Green says infestations of weeds requires regular attention, just as they do in our gardens.

“Weeds, which are exotic, non-native plants, are not wanted, compete with our native plants and are growing in the wrong place,” Mr Green told Dubbo Photo News. “Weeds have been front of mind for Rivercare volunteers for many years and even more so this year. Many of these weeds are opportunistic, they are adapted to exploit newly available habitats such as bare ground or resources such as warm wet conditions and are found in many different environments.

LOCAL CONCERNS

IN BRIEF

Doctor shortage is a ‘train wreck’

Many Wellingtonians attended a public meeting to address the shortage of doctors in the town. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/COLIN ROUSE

By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON Health Council member Peter Barton has spoken out about what he calls a ‘train wreck about to happen in front of our eyes’. Describing Wellington’s doctor shortage as a situation where ‘all the band aids have fallen off,’ Mr Barton said it’s now reached crisis point in the town. “A town the size of Wellington needs 10 GPs. At the moment, there’s six and one full-time VMO at the hospital,” he said. Multiple factors are contributing to the issue including expanded infrastructure, a growing population and a health system that’s really changed over the years. However, it’s been mainly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. “The situation as I see it has come around quicker because of COVID,” Mr Barton said. He added that Swift St Medical Centre previously had a FIFO arrangement with GPs who were shut out once lockdown was incorporated. “Once everything shut down and borders closed, they couldn’t come anymore. It’s the same at the hospital. There was a doctor from Melbourne and another from Brisbane. That’s what’s happening across the state.

Dr Ian Spencer addresses the concerns of Wellington residents.

“What appears to be happening is extenuated by COVID,” Mr Barton said. “More people are working from home, more people are realising that cities are bad places to live in so they are encouraged to make a tree change.” Mr Barton also pointed out that there are many people returning to Wellington to retire. “The other thing that’s happening in rural areas is that they are financially booming. Agriculture has had a turnaround, there’s higher prices and a good season. “The green power hub of Wellington and Dubbo has created

an enormous amount of jobs and considerable wealth for motels and other businesses.” Mr Barton said the addition of more wind and solar farms in the area will enable an extra 300-400 jobs. “There is all that pressure of all those extra jobs.” Unfortunately, the local health system can’t keep up and one of Mr Barton’s main concerns is that medical services have actually become more centralised in highly populated areas. He said the days of doctors seeing out their entire career in a country community are long gone.

“Doctors like Ian Spencer have been in their careers for 40 plus years. But there’s been no increase in General Practitioners in country towns right across Australia. “The powers that be have centralised medical services to Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth etc. When Ian retires, there is no-one to take over that practice and it will close. “The old idea of a GP moving to a town like Wellington, Narromine, Trangie or Gilgandra, opening a practice and employing other doctors is a thing of the past.” Mr Barton believes the cogs now need to turn in political representations and movement of doctors across Local Government Areas. “The nature of the situation to fix the problem needs considerable change. But the change that is necessary politically will be hard to get across the line.” At a town meeting which filled Wellington Civic Centre whilst adhering to social distancing regulations last week, Mr Barton said he and Dr Spencer and Wellington Health Council chair Pip Smith urged others to work towards changing the issue. “Pip and I and Ian made a mandate to take this to the next level which was shown with a nearly unanimated show of hands.”

THE Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR) will spend the lead-up to Christmas visiting properties around Condobolin, Lake Cargelligo and Hillston to observe water management practices. Gregory Abood is NRAR’s director in this part of the world and he’s encouraging landholders in the areas to check their compliance with water laws before the regulator visits their properties. “Now is a good time for them to consider if their water management practices are compliant,” Mr Abood said. “We know most water users across the Central West want to do the right thing and this program is an opportunity for us to meet with landholders, observe their practices and provide educational resources. “Now that NRAR has expanded its on-the-ground presence in regional NSW we will be able to visit three times as many properties in the next 12 months than in the previous financial year,” said Mr Abood. NRAR officers will be checking all water activities on the property are compliant. This includes pumps and bores, dam size, pumping logbooks and water take. All landholders will be contacted and given notice ahead of a visit, to give them the opportunity to check that their water activities are compliant with their individual conditions. To make a confidential report on suspected water misuse, contact the NRAR Hotline on 1800 633 362 or email nrar.enquiries@nrar. nsw.gov.au.

COFFEE CULTURE

Mister Barista By JOHN RYAN

Isaiah Bennett reckons the life of a barista is like a great cup of coffee – satisfying and fulﬁlling. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

WHEN you walk in the door of Tamworth Street’s Blend Sixty-Six Café there’s a good chance barista Isaiah Bennett will know what you’re going to order before you make it to the counter. After 18 months behind the coffee maker, he reckons he’s not only learnt what blend his regulars want and how they want it, he knows they want it made from the best quality fresh ingredients, accompanied by friendly service with a smile. “Now I know our customers, I know what they want and how they like it made, it’s pretty good actually,” he told Dubbo Photo news, admitting the first few times making coffee solo was a bit daunting. “It was actually, it was handy to have my boss Chris giving me a few tips, he’s really handy, and people pay good money for coffee so watch out if it isn’t right. Getting the coffee right, making sure the pour’s all good, that’s very important, the quality of the bean, people notice that.” Isaiah spent time trying out a couple of different trades and worked as a wardsman at Dubbo Hospital but says none of those options seemed the right fit for him. “I think this is my niche, I like the constant contact with people, we get really good people down here and they’re not difficult, they’re easy to work with and I have a great boss,

everything about this job and this workplace is great,” he said. Based on a suburban shopping strip, he says things are just that bit more laid back and says if customers see he’s flat out they’ll just kick back and read the Photo News or have a yarn with other patrons. “That’s the thing about our customers, they don’t mind waiting because they know they’ll get a good coffee,” he said. The 22-year-old unashamedly admits he’s a coffee connoisseur himself (small cappuccino, double shot and one sugar) and says because he knows how much he values a great coffee, that motivates him to ensure all his customers get served exactly what they want. The life of a barista can sometimes have surprises thrown up. “I had someone order a cappuccino one day with about seven sugars in it, I was a bit taken aback by that one, but oh well. “There’s a few people who chop and change, they get a bit sick of hat they’ve been drinking, and they want something different, but they always seem to come back to what they originally drank.’ “Sundays we’re flat out, always flat out.” The job satisfaction – unbeatable. “I start at 7.30am and finish at 1.30pm most days and so there’s practically half a day to do whatever I want, that’s a great lifestyle, it’s great.”

UNEMPLOYMENT

Region’s record unemployment: the pros and cons By LYDIA PEDRANA

THE Dubbo region is experiencing record low unemployment levels with the unemployment rate falling to 1.4 per cent in the June quarter, while the national figure hit over seven per cent. While low unemployment rates signal a stable and growing economy, it can also pose challenges for the workforce. According to Spinifex Recruitment’s Melinda Barton, the region’s current critical labour shortage can stifle a company’s ability to grow. “Many companies are working harder to recruit which can be very time consuming and stressful, taking the focus of business owners and managers away from their core business and impacting productivity and supply of services,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “We also have a hugely reduced workforce of working holiday makers which is also making life difficult for employers who usually access this hiring stream – particularly agriculture and unskilled

labouring work.” Although all sectors are still hiring, Ms Barton said some are finding it harder than others to find

appropriate candidates. “Areas where it seems particularly difficult to recruit are unskilled, labouring type roles, and

part time or casual positions,” she explained. “Trades are as challenging as ever, and mechanical and maintenance personnel remain in high demand.” She said the impact of COVID-19 has also left a lasting effect on the workforce with some employees ‘bunkering down’ to ensure job security despite being unhappy, while others are slow to wean themselves off pandemic-induced benefits. “We have experienced a significant reluctance at the upper end of the market for people to change roles, or consider opportunities,” Ms Barton said. “The lower end of the market is slowly bouncing back but the government payments definitely impacted the willingness of people to take on work.” However, for those who are willing to upskill and work hard, the opportunities are there. “Low unemployment can be good for people searching for work as it may provide access to opportunities that otherwise

wouldn’t have been available,” Ms Barton said. “For example, employers may choose to hire at a lower or less experienced level in the absence of being able to find the skills they need and provide training.” To help plug remaining employment holes, this week Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) launched the Dubbo Skills Platform which aims to connect local businesses affected by COVID-19 with potential candidates. “The new platform will be a big help for businesses that are struggling to fill skilled positions, and their search for the right candidate will be bolstered with a digital skill attraction campaign,” DRC mayor Ben Shields said. “Feedback from local businesses told us that recruiting the right person to fill a role can be challenging, but this new platform will ensure that our businesses are able to engage more people, to retrain or sustain skills in skill-shortage affected industries.”

Mastering the international grain trade By JOHN RYAN JOE Masters, quite literally, is beyond flat out at work. A wheat and barley marketer at Fletcher International’s grain terminal, for the first time in years he has mountains of commodities to market to dozens of countries around the globe. “It’s really good this year compared to the last years, we’ve definitely got an exportable surplus across Australia and on the east coast that’s the first time in a long time,” Mr Masters told Dubbo Photo News. “I think we’ll see, in containerised grain like we are here and the bulk exporters, all working flat out for the next nine months, we’re just going to be at full capacity with the size of this crop. “At the moment we can store about 290,000 tonnes, plus we’re packing at about 10,000 tonnes of grain a week, it’s extremely busy

and we’ve sort of looking at all sorts of avenues to make sure we can store as much grain as possible to give everyone an avenue to unload their grain.” He said the COVID pandemic, which has dominated 2020, has created many challenges for export-oriented businesses, especially agricultural enterprises which have battled with three years of relentless drought. “Lucky technology is good, so we are interacting with our customers every day on Skype, What’s App, email and the like but ideally we’d like to sort of go over there and see them,” he said. “It has been three years since we’ve been exporting grain in a big way, so it definitely has it’s difficulties because they haven’t been buying grain from this region for a long time, but I think having a brand name like Fletcher’s and the reputation we have, our buyers have been eager to engage again.”

OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEEK

A large majority of the wheat coming into the grain terminal is going overseas, with Australian wheat currently very competitively priced on a global scale. Much of the wheat is going into Fletcher’s established markets in South East Asia and Northern Asia, with pulses seeing strong demand out of Pakistan for chickpeas, while fava beans and lupins are making their way into Egypt. Mr Masters said the yields in wheat have been a pleasant surprise in many cases, with a lot of high protein grain coming off very heavy crops, the western grain in many cases graded at Australian Prime Hard (APH) 1 or 2, and easterly crops at slightly lower grades. Mr Masters firmly believes the quality of Australian grain, especially this year, makes it far easier to sell into highly competitive markets. “It makes it very easy; you know, Australian wheat is a premium

product, and everyone wants to buy it so when we have an exportable surplus and customers are able to increase their milling rations with Australian wheat it’s a great thing, they’re happy, we’re happy so it’s a fantastic outcome,” he said. And he says, it’s a massive benefit that he’s working from an office where all the grain coming into the terminal goes straight past his front door, as opposed to a commodities broker selling products,

they’ve never seen from a capital city skyscraper. “It helps a lot. I think the customers want to know exactly what’s going into their containers and to be able to give them the assurance that we’re seeing it, we’re packing it and we’ve got the results from every container, it’s been certified by our staff members, that’s a huge selling point and I think you see a lot of repeat business because the quality assurance here is fantastic.”

SCORPIO: If you plan to spend time with people, don’t forget to follow basic hygiene rules to protect yourself against germs. Your immune system will feel fragile. Get plenty of rest so you can remain strong and healthy.

SAGITTARIUS: Time will be in short supply, and you’ll need to choose between fulfilling your various obligations and taking part in leisure activities. To maintain your well-being, be sure to balance the different facets of your life. CAPRICORN: A holiday is on the horizon. Even if it’s still a few months away, you’ll start making travel plans now. You might need to renew your passport or get vaccinated to avoid issues later on. AQUARIUS: A few minor annoyances are to be expected this week. You can no longer procrastinate on the projects you’ve been putting off. Once you finish, you’ll be able to celebrate without carrying that weight on your shoulders. PISCES: You’ll reach an agreement that will turn your life upside down. Perseverance will allow you to achieve the highest level of success, even in your personal life. Your fighting spirit will be in full swing. The luckiest signs this week: Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Kids bring Xmas card cheer in 2020 By JOHN RYAN

DUGALD Saunders reckons local kids believe the most important thing about Christmas is family. The Dubbo MP issued a call for primary-school children to help design his Christmas card this year, with St Mary’s 9-year-old Amelia Laws winning the competition. Hot on her heels was 11-year-old Maisie Stanley

from St Augustine’s Parish School, Narromine, with 10-year-old Sienna Newstead from St Pius X Primary School, Dubbo earning third place. “There were hundreds of entries this year and the overwhelming theme was that family should be together for Christmas,” Mr Saunders said. “Amelia’s design – her uncle Ben, who lives in Queens-

land, bursting out of a present declaring “I’m home for Christmas!!!” – sums it up perfectly. “It is clear that COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our kids in 2020, and all they want for Christmas is for things to go back to normal.” Amelia’s Christmas card will begin arriving in mailboxes across the Dubbo Electorate in the coming weeks.

INLAND RAIL PARTNERSHIP TO LEAVE WATER LEGACY The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) will fund four additional bores across the Gilgandra Shire, ensuring Inland Rail delivers enduring water benefits to the community beyond construction. Great to be with Gilgandra Acting Mayor Ash Walker, Inland Rail’s Duncan Mitchell and key community members in Curban recently to formalise the agreement. Once construction of Inland Rail from Narromine to Narrabri is complete, the local bores that the ARTC is establishing will be handed to Gilgandra Shire Council. This will provide the community with improved water supply for facilities and a reliable source of water for roadworks, as well as firefighting and other emergency service needs. Dubbo

“It’s really lovely that these gardens are for us, and that we can all enjoy them and work in them if we wish – having something of our own where we can see our efforts is important.

“Some of our residents are green thumbs and love getting outside to work in the gardens, and for others, they just enjoy being able to appreciate nature and walk past them and smell the roses.

Sunshine, fresh air and gardens offer a sense of connection and peace, promoting health, happiness and purpose. All of which have become more important as we spend more time at home and socially distance from friends and family. Studies have found that the integration of green spaces in urban community designs not only offer a place for neighbours to gather and socialise, but can reduce stress, encourage outdoor activity, and boost wellbeing . Ingenia Gardens Dubbo, Senior Community Manager Pip Downey said the inclusion of a garden within an over 55s retirement community was a great way to get residents involved in outdoor activity and provide them with a strong sense of purpose.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Hot temperatures are to blame for this truck sinking into the road.

Firebombing aircraft tackle crop fire TALK about being in the right place at the right time. Orana Rural Fire Service was running a water bombing course on Monday and had two planes going through their drills when the call came in about a paddock fire at Hartford Lane, Comobella, not far north of Bodangora. About 36 hectare was burnt but in those hot, windy conditions it may well have been much more if the firebombing aircraft hadn’t been able to respond so quickly. An ounce of prevention can certainly save plenty of country from being torched and it’s a timely reminder of how quickly fire can spread and the importance of having fire-fighting equipment nearby when using machinery. Well done to all concerned, and thanks to the on-ground crews as well for all their great work.

Smashed up and spat out THIS poor old caravan (above) pretty much sums up 2020 as we enter the last month of the year. Battered and bruised, sitting forlornly near the water tower at the intersection of Wheelers Lane and Myall Streets, it’s a sign of these weird and troubled times.

Dob in dangerous drivers NSW Police have joined with Crime Stoppers, calling on road users to report drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving on roads across the state as part of a new safety campaign. The Four Ds (drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving) road safety campaign was launched on December 1 and is focused on enlisting the community’s help to crack down on the Four Ds to prevent crashes and

keep loved ones safe. Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, said dangerous driving is unacceptable and the NSW Government is determined to highlight the concerning behaviour. “This Government is committed to community safety and we know that the four Ds – drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving – are a significant contributor to deaths on our roads. The people of NSW have been through enough this year, we want to see everyone enjoy the Christmas and New Year periods with family without tragedy or chaos,” Mr Elliott said. 280 people have died on NSW roads so far this year (from January 1 to November 26), with speed a factor in 28 per cent of cases, drugs a factor in 20 per cent, 16 per cent alcohol related. Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb said more

people will be using NSW roads in coming weeks with borders reopening and the Christmas holidays period approaching. “Keeping the public safe is our top priority. We’re asking for you to help us protect yourselves, loved ones and the community on NSW roads. If you see or know anyone who is drink, drug, dangerous or distracted driving, please report it to Crime Stoppers and we will investigate,” said assistant commissioner Karen Webb. “Our message to motorists breaking the law is clear: someone is watching you now and you will get caught.”

“But the message in all of that for the people out there is, you know, just stop, just pull over, I mean, how bad can it be that it could cost you or someone else their life. “On this occasion we’ve got a man who’s badly injured – at this stage it’s not apparent that he was wanted for any other offence other than traffic related.”

A CRITICAL incident investigation has been launched after a man was injured in a crash near Narromine on November 29. Police attempted to stop the driver of a Commodore sedan for a random breath test on the Mitchell Highway south of town at about 10.40pm and when the driver of the sedan failed to stop as directed, a pursuit was initiated but was terminated when officers lost sight of the vehicle. Police continued along the highway and a few minutes later found the vehicle crashed and rolled in Webbs Reserve near High Park Road. The 31-year-old male driver sustained critical head injuries; he was treated at the scene before being airlifted to Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital. A critical incident team from Central North Police District has commenced an investigation of all circumstances surrounding the incident. That investigation will be subject to independent review. That’s the police process in this sort of situation, where officers from a different command run the investigation. I spoke to Western Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Geoff McKechnie, about the incident this week and he reaffirmed the police’s strict guidelines in place when it comes to motor vehicle pursuits. “There’s definitely a process and a protocol that we require officers to go through as those pursuits unfold,” Assistant Commissioner McKechnie said.

THE Blue Mountains is oft criticised for having endless speed zones changes and for no apparent reason, but this beauty from the Roads and Maritime Services must surely set a new world record. If the school zone lights are flashing, drivers would be changing from the work zone speed limit of 40, up to 50, only to have to drop back to 40 kilometres an hour within a few metres. Great job, although nothing the RMS does can surprise me anymore.

Guitar theft

WHO would steal guitars off somebody? Five guitars were stolen from Studio 138 last week between Tuesday midnight and midday Thursday. Amongst them was a red Ibanez Gio that belonged to Tigereno Fyre. The guitar pictured above is of particular importance as it has sentimental value for Mick Davis, as it was a signed gift from his late Mum. There are pieces of garbage that unfortunately aren’t collected and crushed on a weekly basis. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Doppler having an effect

Prima ballerina By JOHN RYAN AYLA Brown thinks she’s about the luckiest girl in the world. The nine-year old, who’s in Year 3 at Dubbo Public, is the only ballet student from the Central West who’s been selected this year to take part in the Australian Ballet School’s Interstate Training Program. “The Australian Ballet School is Australia’s national centre for elite vocational classical dance – it’s attached to the Australian Ballet and has an eight-level program which aims to produce graduates of the highest calibre who are capable of integrating effortlessly into The Australian Ballet and top professional dance companies in Australia and around the world. Ayla’s dance teacher Rikki Slack-Smith says her Stepping Out Dance Factory’s 22-year history has seen four students successfully audition for this exclusive program. “Former student Madeline Gibson rose through the school’s ranks and is now studying at The Dutch National Ballet School after a short stint in Germany with the famous John Cranko School,” Mrs Slack-Smith told Dubbo Photo News. “Ayla follows in the footsteps of much success from various rural children who have gone on to forge exciting careers in dance.

“This year soon after restrictions lifted and we were able to reopen the studio, my daughter Imogen Slack-Smith and I filmed Ayla’s audition on a very cold July morning at 7am and sent it along with hundreds, potentially thousands of other young aspiring dancers and Ayla’s parents Jason and Sam Brown were emailed to say that Ayla was offered a place as a Level 1 Student.” Sam and Jason said they were incredibly excited about the opportunity. “We’re beyond proud that her hard work has led her to this opportunity to do what she loves, at this level,” Mrs Brown said. “Initially we were a little shocked that Ayla’s audition was so successful, as parents we obviously think she is a beautiful dancer, but it was overwhelming that the Australia Ballet School thought so too. “It’s going to be a great learning experience for us all.” Ayla is over the moon to realise the start of her dream at such a young age. “I cannot believe I get to go to the Australian ballet school in Melbourne. I am so lucky. I can’t wait to meet new dance friends and learn more about ballet,” she said. The program gives Ayla access to training days in Sydney plus regular visits to Melbourne to study.

PARKES MP Mark Coulton says the switching on of the Brewarrina Doppler weather radar will provide vital weather information to western New South Wales communities in the lead-up to a hot summer. “The Federal Government knows how important the Brewarrina radar is to the community and has prioritised the commissioning of the radar, as it said it would,” Mr Coulton said. Images from the radar now appear on the BOM website and BOM Weather app covering from Bourke, Nyngan and Walgett. “With such a busy harvest season across much of the Parkes electorate this year, I know real-time weather data in this region will be a godsend for farmers looking to make informed decisions for maximum productivity.”

Ayla Brown says she’s thrilled to be selected into the Australian Ballet’s prestigious feeder program. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED

Mrs Slack-Smith said it’s an honour at such a tender age for Ayla to be granted such an incredible opportunity. “It is every aspiring little ballerina’s dream,” she said. “As Ayla’s teacher I am well aware that she possesses the physique, facility and talent for Classical Ballet, but I believe it’s her humility and spirit that shines

through and gives her that very special quality. She is a very expressive little performer and a very down to earth child. Whilst her parents are still in disbelief, she just shrugged it off and said she is very excited and will try really hard and hopes to make lots of new friends. I am very proud of all of our students and wherever

Healthy hemp MARK Coulton spent years working to change laws allowing hemp food products to be consumed in Australian and now that legislative work is seeing a whirl of commercial enterprises setting up to take advantage. Hemp, along with its better-known cousin, marijuana, is a source of many natural medicines which are becoming better understood as more research into their health benefits is unearthed. “Pleased to inspect this healthy hemp crop on Ross

IT’S A RECORD!

Munro's property near Moree and hear about the great potential for this emerging industry to deliver medicinal benefits,” Mr Coulton said. The Parkes MP has made speeches to federal parliament and set up meetings between various government ministers to help kickstart this emerging agricultural industry which could provide any number of diverse and more environmentally friendly cropping options for Aussie farmers.

Member for Parkes Mark Coulton (centre in hat) says hemp has great possibilities to create diverse cash crops for farmers.

Professional roller skater Tinuke’s Orbit (aka Tinuke Oyediran, from the UK) has broken the Guinness World Record for most cartwheels on roller skates in one minute with 30, and the most spins on e-skates in one minute with 70. A circus performer and skating teacher by trade, Tinuke set herself these challenges at the beginning of lockdown to pass the time and soon realised that her talents could be record worthy. As she progressed with her skills, Tinuke started pushing herself further and used her record attempts as a means of motivation at a time when she really needed some. Tinuke describes her cartwheel record as “hardcore” due to the fact it relies on her having amazing upper body strength.

Budget reveals $7 million cost of Service NSW cyber attack

Michelle and Liam O’Callaghan

THE NSW Government expects to spend $7 million on legal bills as a results of a cyber-attack on Service NSW effecting 186,000 people, according to a footnote in the November 17 budget. The footnote reads: “The head of Cyber Security NSW has stated the hack could have been avoided if Service NSW had used multifactor authentication for staff logins. “That $7 million has been wasted. The NSW Government could have used that $7 million to pay the salaries of 90 nurses or 100 teachers, but instead it has been spent on legal bills. The Government has tried to bury this cost by hiding it in a footnote,” Shadow Minister for Better Public Services Sophie Cotsis said. “NSW Labor will keep asking questions about the true cost of this attack through a Parliamentary Inquiry into Cyber Security which is currently underway.” The hack is believed to be the largest data breach in the history of NSW.

2021 THEATRE SEASON LAUNCH

Following initial consultation sessions with various community groups and stakeholders, the public exhibition for the Dubbo South Bridge options remain open.

ART

The art and artists were on show at Wellington Golf Club on November 15. PHOTOS:DARREN BLANCH.

By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON Arts’ first portraiture prize has been hailed a great success, with interest shown by the arts community and the general public. Held at Wellington Golf Club, the Portrait Artist of the Year event attracted a crowd of 70-plus in a COVID-safe environment. It featured amateur and experienced artists portraying local citizens Pip Smith and Herb Smith through their art over a four-hour period. Wellington Arts president Lisa Thomas said the day was both well-attended and enjoyable. “It was a family fun day with a barbecue lunch that was very well-participated,” she explained. “We had six experienced and six novice artists who were chosen through a selection process based on their experience.” Mrs Thomas said it was slightly nerve-wracking for the participants but they produced some excellent work.

“The artists were under pressure with only four hours to complete,” she said. “Just about everyone was nervous, with the public sitting there watching them. When you have a crowd looking over your shoulder, it does change the way you do work.” The event was a great way to showcase the ability of the region’s artists. “We were looking for something to do and Jan Payne came up with the idea. She’d been watching something similar in Europe,” Mrs Thomas explained. “We have so many talented artists in our region. It was an opportunity to do something no-one else was doing.” With sponsorship from Infigen and Essential Energy who contributed $2000 each, Wellington Arts was able to present $2000 prize money ($500 each) to the winning artists. “I was super impressed. They were all absolutely commendable.

They were all completely different and it was fantastic to watch it develop. It proved to be a good experience for them.” There were also lucky door prizes on the day, with gift vouchers to spend at local businesses. “It’s a good way to keep our town ticking over. It all makes a difference.” Mrs Thomas said it was a wonderful day all around. “The feedback has been really good from the people involved and visitors. The golf club was a good facility. “The volunteers always turn up and have a fun time. It’s certainly on the cards to do again.” Winners Herb Smith portrait:  Experienced artist: David Mason  Amateur artist: Therese Woldhuis Pip Smith portrait:  Experienced artist: Gill Pedrana  Amateur artist: Suzie Foran

RESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CONCERN

Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor performance By NATALIE LEWIS LONG-TIME Wellington resident Margret Pulbrook has questioned the wisdom of Dubbo Regional Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to limit disabled toilet access in Cameron Park after busloads of visitors were left wandering around town looking for a loo during a recent pitstop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were two busloads of elderly people, from Bathurst and Lithgow, they were looking for a disabled toilet,â&#x20AC;? Miss Pulbrook told Dubbo Photo News. With limited availability in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main recreational area, the visitors ventured across the highway to use the amenities of a local pub and cafĂŠ. But there was no time for a bite to eat, as they were back on the road after their bathroom break took longer than expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a 40-minute break and it was taken up with going to the toilet,â&#x20AC;? Miss Pulbrook explained. She believes Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent revamp of the area has left a lot to be desired, despite spending millions of dollars building a new amenities block and playground. A toilet each for male and female

and a disabled facility thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locked to the general public is just not adequate, Miss Pulbrook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pulled down the old toilets before the new ones were ready to open. Then they take away six toilets and replace them with one female and one male (and the locked bathroom). You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t replace six toilets with three. What about a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room and disabled access? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big main disabled toilet has an adult change facility, bed, toilet and hoist but it is always locked and you need a key from the NDIS to use it. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of people having a universal key that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a letdown especially when the hoist is worth $20,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be an ordinary disabled toilet at the front. Disabled people using that area have nowhere to put their walkers.â&#x20AC;? Dubbo Regional Council Director Liveability Skye Price confirmed that the disabled toilet facility is locked to protect the infrastructure inside, but it is accessible to anyone with a MLAK key. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MLAK keys, or a Master Locksmiths Access Key, are held by an-

yone with a disability or mobility challenge and allows them to access dedicated public facilities,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an initiative adopted by local councils throughout Australia, and eligible people can purchase a key from a master locksmith, or apply online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other toilet cubicles at Cameron Park are open from 7am to 7pm, during daylight saving.â&#x20AC;? But Miss Pulbrook is concerned that the area will soon be removed from travellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; itineraries if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a pitstop in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait that long to go to the toilet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrible. They will go through to Dubbo and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop in Wellington. The bikers use the library.â&#x20AC;? Miss Pulbrook also believes that Cameron Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kerb appeal has diminished in recent years, making it more difficult to attract tourists to town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cameron Park won the Sydney Morning Herald best garden in NSW up to seven times in a row. Now you can barely find a flower bed.â&#x20AC;? Miss Pulbrook has also heard thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a petition to push for a

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a ďŹ&#x201A;ower bed in sight in the award-winning Cameron Park which was once considered the best garden in NSW. Concerns have also been expressed by the lack of public toilets in the new layout. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

shade sail over the newly-built play area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The playground is hot. There also needs to be more seats to sit,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Price believes there is a significant amount of shade in the playground area, at any time of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more natural shade there now, than there was at the previous playground, and natural shade is preferable to artificial shade in terms of installation costs and ongoing maintenance.â&#x20AC;? Miss Pulbrook is concerned that the new playground isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fenced and it has been moved away from

the memorial to Dr Glasson who saved her life as a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He helped a lot of children. But that playground was considered too old and antiquated even though $4m was spent on it seven years ago.â&#x20AC;? After Cameron Park also became a target for vandalism in recent months, Miss Pulbrook says the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deterioration is disappointing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like it used to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone down the way it has.â&#x20AC;? Council has spent $3M on changing Cameron Park in a seven-stage plan executed over the past three years.

HELPING HAND

Roadshow assisting rural communities By NATALIE LEWIS

Michael White of Wellington CRT (right) recently hosted a rural roadshow geared at supporting the farming community. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ COLIN ROUSE

A RURAL roadshow offering financial assistance to farmers has passed through the Wellington district. Local grain merchant Michael White said the CRT store hosted NSW Farmers, who combined with the National Drought and Flood Agency, Rural Aid, NSW Health, the Rural Assistance Authority and St Vincent de Paul to coordinate the visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They spoke to people on a one on one basis and gave out applications for Rotary vouchers to farmers,â&#x20AC;? Mr White explained. The roadshow has been touring around towns to offer information and support. The Rotary debit cards are valued at $500 and will lend a helping hand to recipients. While harvest is well underway in the district, money has been

tight for the farming community during many years of drought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the next month or so, money will be flowing into these areas but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tough for a long time.â&#x20AC;? The information session was described as a drop-in style one stop

shop, bringing together drought information and support from all levels of Government and not-forprofit organisations. The aim was for farmers and members of drought-affected communities to drop in and talk about drought recovery information, advice and options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were flat out in the time they were allocated here, which was two hours,â&#x20AC;? Mr White said. The debit cards will assist farm households experiencing financial hardship. Rotary also recently presented $1000 each to 20 local farming families. After leaving Wellington, the roadshow visited Yeoval, Molong and Borenore.

NEWS EXTRA

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

The cruelest of all news Dubbo Photo News readers have been following seven-year-old Mitchell Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle with neuroblastoma with admiration. The way this little boy has so bravely smiled through the pain and uncertainty since the start of 2020 has lifted the spirits of all who his young life has touched. With most people gearing up to celebrate a pandemic-ridden 2020 Christmas and see out the year a week later with hopes of a much better 2021, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine the pain the Ray family is going through. This week his mum, ERIN RAY, penned the saddest post so far â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story in her own words last Monday evening. MITCHELL has just been told that his cancer is growing again in his lung which is why he is having trouble breathing. He will have radiation treatment starting tomorrow, he gets to ride over to the adult hospital in a bed and then after a few days of that we go on another holiday to the beach. For my own records and to fill you all in, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the full picture. Mitchell was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in January this year. It started in his abdomen and there was metastasis in his bone, lymph nodes, lung and bone marrow. He had chemotherapy and surgery which helped and then it grew again. They called this refractory disease. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to high dose chemotherapy with immunotherapy, it continued to grow in his lung. He has a mutation in his lung, we are told that cure is extremely unlikely, and we start a targeted drug that has helped him feel well. From August until now he has been feeling well. He has gained weight, hair regrew, he stopped his regimen of medications, he was able to travel to visit family, we celebrated our very first family holiday on our own and he turned seven. Symptoms started again on his birthday. We were able to enjoy his day, see the water as he wanted, and enjoyed a rich red chocolate cake. The next day the fevers hit and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve generally just been in hospital and unwell since. A catscan today has shown that he is full of cancer. It has taken over his lung. It has taken over his liver. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in his bone marrow and there are spots on his scalp. He has spinal compres-

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Public forum debates South bridge options The Editor, The clear message to come out of the South Dubbo Bridge forum last week was that few, if any, want either of Council’s options. The 70 people present put forward arguments about the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources along the river and the safety of children at the Lady Cutler playing fields. Others talked of more congestion and bottlenecks around the CBD and the inherent downsides to increased traffic flows through South Dubbo. Council’s representatives highlighted the major problems associated with the traffic lights required for the Minore Road and Whylandra Street intersection, along with the admission that the safety of children at Lady Culter Park was not part of their brief. Council’s brief was to present two bridge options to the public and get them to choose which one they preferred. Those in attendance were instructed not to talk about other bridges or bypasses or anything of that nature; the focus was to be on Council’s two South Bridge options only. Some in attendance questioned the need for another bridge if alternative cross-city travel options were explored such as cycling and public transport. A large part of the expected users of a South Bridge, it was suggested, would be parents ferrying their children to the schools in Sheraton Road. It was revealed that 90 per cent of parents from those schools drive their children to and from each day, rather than having them catch a bus. The general consensus of most in the room was they didn’t want either of Council’s two options, and would rather have a road network that got traffic out of the centre of town instead of bringing more into it. A suggestion of a road bridge next to the Molong rail bridge met with strong support. This option would connect with Hennessey Drive and Wheelers Lane and thus divert much of the East-West traffic away from the city’s already heavily congested central areas. This appeared to many to be long-term visionary planning, something Council’s current two options lacked. The NSW Government and Dugald Saunders also came in for criticism for throwing the South Bridge scoping funds at Council, which many believed was simply a diversionary tactic to take the heat off River Street. It was revealed there was no funding to build a South Bridge at this stage and the likely timeline for its construction might be five or 10 years away. Council staff explained it was their brief to build a business case for one of the South Bridge options and then go and chase government funds to build it. In my opinion, the general view of those at the meeting was that what Council presented to us was highly flawed and dictatorial. What the meeting showed was, Dubbo needs a carefully considered long-term traffic strategy, not ill-conceived thought bubbles that

end up disfiguring and damaging the amenity of our great city. Council is calling on people to provide feedback to them between now and February 5, 2021. You can have your say by sending an email to council@dubbo.nsw.gov. au. The only way to save our town and our river is to speak up. I ask that you please do. Steve Hodder, Dubbo

A lash on the bum instead of a hit on the wallet The Editor, Re: “Sneaky speed cameras”, Dubbo Photo News, November 26, which stated: “Fierce debate is raging in the community over the state government’s lightning decision to remove warning signs for mobile speed cameras and triple the hours of operation of these units.” Roy Butler MP is not giving a good example by saying, “I know I see them (signs warning of speed cameras) and look at my speedo.” Road rules should be respected all the time, not just when someone (the police) is checking on us. Speed limits are part of the law, and breaking a law should be punished. However, if so many people are protesting against paying money, give them some alternative. Why not experimentally go back to the old system which worked well for hundreds (maybe thousands) of years? What about one lash on the bum instead of, for example, every $20 from a ticket? This way, nobody will accuse government of greed. Ziggy Pierzchalski, Dubbo

The climate, they are a changin’ The Editor, There was once an unwritten rule in conversations that if one wished to avoid argument, three subjects were taboo: politics, religion and football – weather was always safe to discuss. Today, not so. If the theory of man-made climate change is questioned, the individual is immediately placed in the worst category possible, a climate change denier. Nevertheless it is a fair bet that when the last carbon-producing factory is pulled down, the last furnace has gone out, and the last cow releases her last fart, that our climate will continue changing – just as it has always done. Martin Penny, Dubbo

Always remember the Salvos are here to help The Editor, This year has brought with it some of the greatest challenges we have faced in Australia. From drought, to devastating bushfires and a global pandemic, it would be fair to say that we are all looking forward to a fresh new year. But as we look forward to Christmas and the New Year, it is important to note that in every situation that comes our way, there

is always good to be found. On behalf of The Salvation Army, we want to share with you some of the good we have seen throughout this year, and our hope for Christmas and the New Year. When the bushfires hit last Summer, they were some of the worst that our country had ever seen. The Salvos saw the impact firsthand, with our workers supporting front line first responders even before the bushfire season had begun as they worked hard to avoid the devastation that eventually impacted those bushfire-affected regions. The way that Australians came together during the bushfires was remarkable, from practical onground support to international campaigns, all for the purpose of helping our fellow Aussies in their time of need. During the horrific drought that has ravaged so much of rural Australia for years, The Salvos have seen the iconic Aussie spirit in full effect. Our rural chaplains have come alongside many rural families af-

fected by drought and have been able to provide very practical support, which has been warmly welcomed by so many in rural regions. Rural communities are resilient and tough, and yet our chaplains have been embraced by these communities leading to deep and lasting friendships. COVID-19 has been extremely damaging to our economy with many families and individuals having been placed under extreme financial and emotional strain. However, even during a pandemic, a strong thread of mateship has emerged as communities have found creative ways to support each other. Local Salvation Army Mission centres have also been busy supporting locals in their communities. Looking forward now to Christmas, the Salvos want to encourage everyone to embrace the season and take this opportunity to connect with loved ones. Spending time with family (either in-person or online), sharing a meal with those you love, taking time away with friends, or by en-

gaging in the joy of giving to one another this Christmas. The Salvos also know that Christmas can be a time of stress, financial pressure and loneliness for some Aussies doing it tough. New research conducted for The Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal showed that 74 per cent of Aussies didn’t know where to go for financial support this Christmas. The Salvos want you to know that we are here this Christmas; if you need financial support, presents for the kids, food for Christmas Day or just a community to belong to, please reach out to your local Salvos. For the Salvos, the true meaning of Christmas is found in the birth of Jesus. Jesus brought hope into the world. A hope for a better tomorrow, a hope that no matter what we have done or where we have been, we are loved. A hope that nothing can separate us from Jesus’ love. So, this Christmas, the Salvos encourage you to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and enjoy the festive season as we come together with our family and friends. From the Salvation Army, we wish you, your family and friends a very Happy Christmas. Major Bruce Harmer, Salvation Army

Help a family in need this Christmas By SOPHIA ROUSE THIS year has been devasting for many families and with Christmas coming up, lots of children will miss out on opening a present on Christmas Day. For families who have lost everything, you can help. Macquarie Credit Union is gearing up with the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal to give hope and a Christmas filled with joy to those who are less fortunate. The Salvation Army is asking for donations of unwrapped gifts to donate to families for Christmas Day. Some gift suggestions are gift cards, books, puzzles and board games, Lego, musical instruments, outdoor equipment, personal accessories and electronics keeping in mind all ages and gender. The Macquarie Credit Union is welcoming the community to drop off donations that will then be passed on to the Salvation Army to spread out to families. The Salvos would love to have as many gifts by early December so that there are gifts under as many trees as possible on Christmas Day. You can drop your donations to 165 Brisbane Street, Dubbo.

One Proud Monkey... One More Time By KEN SMITH IT was the farewell performance that the twists and turns of 2020 played its all too familiar role. Saturday evening, “One Proud Monkey” made up of Clinton Hoy (Guitar / Vocals), Dallas Keenes (Guitar), Dave Petty (Drums), and Tim Hosking (Bass) took the stage, one more time and once again seemingly effortlessly, proved why they have enjoyed a loyal following for the last eight plus years. Their performance on Saturday evening was emotional, but it was so good.

One Proud Monkey championed their own original songs during their time together and their catalogue, if you haven’t already, is worth checking out. A big part of the evening saw locals “Civil Hands” with a brand new album not too far away, loving the chance to play live and sounding better than ever and “Killing Time” another local crew, fired up the crowd with their high energy rock. Well done to all involved. Thank you Great Southern Nights, Audio Plus and the local bands who give it all every time they get to play.

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH JAN FERGUSON & MAREE WELDON DELIVERING MEALS AND THE SPIRIT OF GIVING Local residents of RSL LifeCare retirement village, friends Jan Ferguson and Maree Weldon, volunteer to deliver Meals on Wheels (MOW) together except COVID has prevented them from doing it for eight months. Two weeks ago MOW gave them the green light to start up again and both women couldn’t be happier. “I look forward to my day delivering meals. It’s such a rewarding thing to do and it’s wonderful how appreciative all our clients are. They are so happy to see us each week,” Maree said. “I really look forward to my days too,” Jan said. “It is wonderful to be able to do something useful again. As much as I enjoy seeing the clients and delivering them a meal it also does something for me personally, it gives me a sense of being useful and still valuable to my community which I was for so

Sponsored by

many years until retirement.” “I had retired from working for many years in aged care and I really missed the contact with the older community. MOW seemed like a good community service to volunteer with, so I contacted them and offered my time,” Jan said. The friends are both over 70 and while the commitment to do the deliveries is minimal, the impact of their effort is great. “I think most people understand the importance of volunteers but for many it’s something that other people do, actually doing it can be hard for some people to commit too,” Jan said. Currently, the pair team up on Tuesdays to do their rounds which takes around two hours in total. Jan drives and they both deliver the meals. “On Thursday I do it by myself, so I drive and deliver the meals. I have the same run both days which is great,”

Jan said. “I love delivering the meals, unfortunately we can’t spend much time with each client, but we manage to have a quick chat with each of them and get to know them a little when we do the same run each week.” Both agree no special skills are required. “Definitely not,” Maree said. “You just need to enjoy what you are doing, keep a smile on your face, which isn’t at all hard and just have an instinct to know if everything is ok with the client,” Jan said. “If I could encourage someone to volunteer, I’d say, just give it a

try. There are so many services out there that rely on volunteers and I’m sure if you give it a go you will get as much benefit from it as the person you are doing something for. “I think to be a good volunteer you need the ability to connect with members of the community, to treat each client as you would like to be treated and to do your job with a smile and a good attitude,” Jan said. Maree agrees. “I think three key traits you need to make a good volunteer is to enjoy helping people, have a happy smiling face and realise some people do need help.”

Chris Memory has been President of Dubbo West Rotary since July 2019. He and wife Pam are leaving Dubbo to retire on the Gold Coast. His last meeting was on November 18, when he passed the president’s role to Lyn Smith. Every year, Rotary Club of Dubbo West sponsors students to attend the National Youth Science Forum. Dubbo College Senior Campus Year 12 student Phoenix Aubusson-Foley has been nominated for the 2021 event. He recently visited our meeting to introduce himself to members, many of whom remember his grandparents’ connection to our club.

Pam Sharkey awarded Paul Harris fellowship. Before Chris left, he was eager to make the presentation of a Paul Harris fellowship to Pam Sharkey in recognition of her outstanding work in the community especially through Rotary.

Gareth Howells and Bruce Furnell were thanked this year for their combined 28 years of service to Life Education Van. They’re pictured with outgoing Dubbo West Rotary president Chris Memory.

A-Z

of Christmas

Dubbo Photo News’ A-Z of Christmas 2020 encourages you to shop local.

Shop local for decorations full of seasonal fantasy and charm at the Dubbo Christmas Shop. Shop local for gifts to restore mind, body and soul at Red Earth Healing; turn a house into a home with décor from TSG or delight and entertain with quality toys from Dubbo Printing Works. Shop local to upgrade the back yard with Narellan Pools, brighten your garden with Magnolia Nursery, get a good night’s sleep thanks to Forty Winks and keep Summer’s heat out with window dressings from Kooltrend. Food and Christmas always go together, so gobble up local treats and party favourites from The Daily Scoop and Pizza Cravings.Make great memories with locals, Red Dirt Camping, Trike Adventures and Langley’s Coaches and you’ll need comfortable shoes, so drop into The Athlete’s Foot. When the parties are all over and everyone’s gone home, Dubbo Vacuum Centre can help with the clean-up. Put your feet up with a Dubbo Photo News from South Dubbo Newsagency, knit or crochet with goods from Yummy Yarn, learn an instrument through Old Bank Music or browse the DTC Training website for ideas on how you can upskill. Speaking of websites, if you choose to shop online you can still shop local so please «À À Ì Ãi V> LÕÃ iÃÃiÃ LÞ Ãi>ÀV } Ì i À ÜiLÃ ÌiÃ > ` Ã V > i` > >Ã > wÀÃÌ V Vi° Local businesses mean local jobs so you can make it a Merry Christmas for Dubbo!

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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

z Tigers, jaguars and leopards love the smell of Calvin Klein’s “Obsession For Men”! Photographers who used the fragrance to lure the big cats to their cameras in the wild said the cats “would start drooling, their eyes would half-close, almost like they were going into a trance”. z The human body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring a gallon of water to a boil. z Between 1970 and 1973, four Israeli ﬁghter pilots held as POWs in an Egyptian prison passed their time by translating J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” from English into Hebrew. The book was sent to them by their family members via the Red Cross. The pilots’ version was published commercially in 1977 and is still considered by many to be one of the best

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION Hebrew translations available. z Until 1953, New York City had a pneumatic tube mail network that spanned 43km and connected 23 post offices. At its peak, the system moved 95,000 letters a day at speeds of around 50km/h. z Halloween is more Irish than St. Patrick’s Day. z Ever wonder how the dice game Yahtzee got its curious moniker? A wealthy Canadian couple invented the game as a way of entertaining friends on board their yacht. After it proved a hit, the couple consulted a toy maker who loved it, bought the rights, and changed the original name from the generic “Yacht game” to “Yahtzee”. z Homer Simpson’s famous “D’oh!” is a real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, though in “The Simpsons” scripts, it’s rendered merely as an “annoyed grunt”.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z “If you bathe in a tub, try rubbing on bath oil before getting in the tub. You will get greater coverage and more moisturising power from your bath oil. And at this time of year, who doesn’t need that?” – M.E. z “Here’s a great way to use Christmas cards from last year: Trace a child’s hand on the back of the pictures. Cut them out and use them to make a wreath for the front door. Or, make small jigsaw puzzles for young children to play with. Any good, detailed artwork on a card front will do. Make squiggly lines in the fashion of a jigsaw puzzle, then cut out. It helps if the cardstock is good and thick.” – M.M. z “To keep light bulbs from sticking in the socket, apply petroleum jelly to the base of the bulb before screwing it into the ﬁxture.” – B.D.

z Here’s an oldie but a goodie: Add a few drops of water to votive cups before adding a candle. The wax will float on the water, and when the candle burns down, it won’t get stuck in the votive glass. z “Burned rice? No problem. While it’s still hot, carefully remove to a new pot any rice not browned or blackened. Then top it with a single slice of white bread. Allow it to sit for several minutes under a tightly fitted lid. The burned smell is absorbed by the bread, and the rice is fit to eat.” – M.U. z Never scrub a cast iron skillet. It needs the patina in order to heat food evenly. Here’s how to keep it operational: Clean with a stiff brush and regular dish soap. Rinse clean, and dry immediately, preferably by placing it on a warm to hot stove hotplate for a few minutes. When dry, rub with a light coating of oil.

Heat reduces ﬁelds at DHRC By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL FORECAST extreme temperatures and the welfare of horses meant there were reduced nominations for Dubbo last Sunday. As it turned out the clouds rolled in and a breeze picked up so the six card meeting was perfect for a night on the track. The Kyle Barnes Memorial feature race went to Holy Camp Rob trained and driven by Robert Anderson from Grenfell. Our correspondent Graham Phipps says the most popular win of the night came in Race 4, the NSWSOA and AP Gold Pace.

“Jogalong Blue careered home to win by four metres, exciting Team Lew, Greg was in the seat for dad John (“Pommy”) and son Jack could hardly contain his excitement on the fence. He was cheering the loudest of all. “Greg has spent many hours with the highly strung horse getting it ready to race and after a very good third at Bathurst last week, he was rewarded with a great win after a well structured drive.” As the DHRC was unable to have its annual presentation night, some awards were presented to winners who were on course and more will be presented at the next meeting.

The promising fast bowler was home only days after completing her first season of WBBL with the Sydney Sixers. “It was awesome,” was how Emma described the experience of training and playing with some of Australia’s best ever. She was in the bunker when keeper Alyssa Healey blasted 6 sixes and 14 fours in a 52 ball century. Alyssa finished 111 in a commanding last round win over the Melbourne Stars. “It was unreal! We just couldn’t believe what we were seeing. When Alyssa came off she was really down on herself. She told us she should have done better!” Emma returns to Sydney this weekend to take her place with the NSW Breakers for the upcoming one-dayers. CYMS 4/142 d Macquarie 7/95

Macquarie and CYMS players paused to remember the late Tony Kelly. “TC” was General Manager of the Council for nearly 30 years and played many rugby league games for The Fishies on No 1. He also captained one of the teams in the ﬁrst cricket match under lights in November 1982.

HE was a general manager with one maroon and white eye, the other, green and white! Tony Kelly arrived in Dubbo to serve the City Council under Town Clerk, George Maliphant. It wasn’t long before he succeeded the great administrator in a career that was to last more than 35 years until he handed over the mantle. “TC’s” (Top Cat), as he liked to be known, administrative skills and passion for local government were mirrored on the football field where the former Manly Sea Eagles’ silken hands and love of the game caught the eyes of Group 11 and Western Division selectors. TC played under Wallaby and Eastern Suburbs half Ken McMullen in a CYMS group that played in four successive grand finals, downing the unbeaten Parkes on their home ground in 1969 and completing only the second Group XI club clean sweep two years later. Kelly was involved in some

Blues going down to Parkes in the grand final. Kelly formed a formidable front row alongside Les Bourke and hookers Kel Brown (69/70) and Graham Negline (‘71). He was a one-eyed Manly supporter and found allies in Juniors mentor Tom Nelson and another Eagle, Norm Bahr, who coached CYMS Reserves in 1971. TC’s chest swelled when a succession of CYMS juniors pulled on the maroon and white guernsey. Martin Meredith, Col Parkes, Brian Wilson, Steve Merritt and Jim See were all snared from the Fishies as the northern beaches club reached out to their former lower grade player for advice. Tony loved cricket, playing mostly Pinnington Cup, and donated the Kelly Cup for Third Grade. He would regularly regale the gathered throngs with his tales of “the best duck you’ve ever seen”. He also led the Town Clerk’s XI against the Mayor’s team to christen the new lights at No 1.

brutal local derbies in his time, clashing head on with the likes of British Ironman Dick Huddart, Kevin Kind, Garry Giddings, Ronny Soden and tough hookers Max Low and Peter Stevens. His last match was the major semi-final in 1972 when a vicious Parkes Pack, known as Muncher’s Maulers, an acknowledgement of coach Graham Kennedy. That match also ended CYMS’ reign with Kind’s Macquarie

TC was a visionary, administering the Council as it implemented policies made by any number of Mayors and Councillors. From all reports he was as rigorous in his preparation for council meetings as he was for playing football. TC was focussed, highly motivated, driven to get the best for Dubbo, unafraid of mayors, councillors and other government members. Perhaps Tony’s lasting legacy is seen as you drive across both bridges and your eyes are struck by unbelievable quantity and quality of sporting and recreational facilities. Anyone associated with the development of these fields as well as Apex Oval will tell you it was TC’s dream... and he lived to see it become a reality. Fly free now TC; freed from the struggles of a retirement cruelly spoilt by ill health. You will be remembered as a strong and faithful servant who showed enormous courage in the face of life’s unfairness over the past 15 years. To wife Barb and your family we express our deepest sympathy.

Harness Racers donate to Gil Hospital FOLLOWING a frustrating year, harness racing fans were allowed back on the track for the fourth annual Gilgandra Cup and Windmill meeting recently and as a result of some generous giving, funds for a new resuscitation bed were raised for the local hospital. Judi and Graham Phipps who have been a part of the event since its inception, drove to Gilgandra for the handover of the new bed for the emergency department. “It is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that is able to be used by the radiographer for X-rays without moving the patient,” Graham explained. The funds were raised with the cooperation of the Dubbo Harness Racing Club and the Lions clubs

of Gilgandra, Gulargambone and Tooraweenah leading up to and primarily at the 2019/20 Gilgandra Cup Community Harness race meeting at the Dubbo Showground Paceway. “It was originally intended to purchase a bed lifter but as the fundraising went well it was decided to up the ante and purchase the much needed ‘resusc’ bed for ED,” Graham added. Gilgandra hospital CEO Mark Harris thanked everyone for their generous efforts and the cooperation between Lions with the Dubbo Harness Racing Club to enable them to purchase the much needed bed. He made special mention that it was the D.H.R.C. Gilgandra Cup Community meeting that really kicked things along and allowed the Hospital – and the whole community – to make a much needed purchase.

YOUNG Lucas Salmon enhanced his reputation in the eyes of Dubbo Ducks Life Member Judy Walsh, swimming a fabulous breaststroke leg of the brace relay to earn a pair of hams last Sunday. Judy couldn’t hide her delight. “Lucas mowed down the field and managed to touch the wall first in a very close finish. I was flapping madly at the other end of the pool after completing the backstroke leg!” Twenty-eight “hungry” Ducks were on hand with Greg Jankowski the “unlucky ducky”. “Greg busted his wings in the finals of both the 50m metre freestyle and the 25m breaststroke, only to get the dreaded red pen by table boss Dave,” Judy explained. “He was not alone – Treasurer Norm Bahr also got the dreaded red flag for his breaststroke effort.” Judy says it was terrific to see “old” Ducks Jeff Dawes and Mike Twohill back in the water. “On a very sad note, we paid our respects to one of our popular members, Ross Tomlins who passed away suddenly last week,” Judy added. This Sunday the Ducks swim for the Dubbo City Comfort Inn Trophy as well as more much sought after Xmas hams.

By GEOFF MANN DAWSONS have fielded teams in the Dubbo Touch competitions from the early days nearly 45 years ago and last Tuesday night the current crop took a minute to remember Ross Tomlins. Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Andrew and son-in-law Simon Thorsteinsson play with the club and were embraced by their friends in a touching show of support. Ross was a keen sportsman playing league at South Dubbo High and then rugby with the Roos and Orange Emus. He loved golf and watching all sports with his mates from the RSL. Ross spent time in the National Service and maintained a lifelong association with the Returned Services, playing in the local band as well as tutoring youngsters in the Air Force and Army Cadets. He had also been a regular Dubbo Veterans Swimming Club and five years ago, combined with fellow Ducks Mark Scullard, Louise and Lucy Taylor to win the prestigious Clive Rootes relay. Ross will be farewelled in coming weeks when wife of 44 years, Patricia recovers from heart surgery. Sport brings out the best in people and it was obvious at the Riverbank Touch Fields last week.
