LOOKING FORWARD/BACK

Resilient, industrious, clever and caring Contributed by BEN SHIELDS, DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL MAYOR IT seems to me that everyone is talking about how hard 2020 has been. It certainly has been an emotional roller-coaster and deeply distressing for many. The lingering effects of the drought, plus COVID-19 has meant it’s been a year that for a lot of us has been one big setback.

I’m a big believer that the measure of a man or woman is how they act in times of crisis. The same can be said for a whole community like Dubbo.

And if you were to measure Dubbo’s performance, we are one resilient, industrious, clever and caring community and the envy of the rest of Australia.

When I originally put the call out at the start of the COVID lockdown for our residents to back our local business, especially our restaurants and cafes by buying takeaway to at least keep a trickle of money going through their cash registers, I was pleasantly surprised to see the actual amount of people getting behind the initiative.

At the time I made the most outlandish declaration that Dubbo will be the first region to economically recover from COVID. However, even I had no idea that the recovery would be so swift and decisive!

An economic taskforce was established, local and statewide marketing plans were put

in place, while the community jumped at the call to back our local businesses. National media made Dubbo the spotlight of optimism and we began one of the most remarkable economic fight backs in living memory.

Official statistics and figures started to come in. Our building industry was reporting a bumper year – 59 house lots were sold at council’s Keswick Estate in just two months. Then came the tourism numbers. All of our tourist attractions were reporting record numbers while our motels

and hotels were pretty much all booked out. Our marketing and advertising push across the state paid dividends. We know that Dubbo’s tourism numbers were unmatched by any other regional centre in NSW. A little while after the tourism figures were released I was given the official employment statistics and they were like music to my ears – Dubbo’s unemployment rate was officially the lowest out of all regional cities in NSW at just 1.4 per cent.

In fact, the biggest economic

problem we are facing right now is that we are struggling to get workers and we are also dealing with a housing rental shortage!

And it wasn’t just the city of Dubbo out there smashing records. Domain reported that Wellington has had the highest real estate valuation increase in Australia with a 26.1 per cent increase in the last 12 months.

All this didn’t mean that we took a lax attitude to the virus where simple good luck saved the day from a major COVID outbreak.

Dubbo Regional Council actually won an award for the best COVID-19 response in the state.

2021 will be a year of further development and growth. Huge announcements in infrastructure and development will be announced and your council will continue to campaign and push for our region’s fair share of government investment. A focus on Wellington’s doctor and police shortage will be prominent.

Backlogs in roads infrastructure and maintenance will continue to be dealt with and we will go even harder in spreading the message that the Dubbo Region is ‘open for business’. I believe improvements to our region will be astronomical in 2021.

There is no doubt that 2020 has been unlike any other year and a lot of us have done it incredibly tough. But boy, am I proud of Dubbo and our residents. The statistics and awards back it up – we are the best region in Australia.

Dubbo Photo News December 31, 2020-January 6, 2021 HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

Local boy returns home following stint in Ronald McDonald House

By LYDIA PEDRANA AFTER 89 nights spent fighting for his life in Westmead Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House, Durakai Smith returned home to Dubbo, just in time for Christmas.

In August, the cheeky, muchloved six-year-old suffered a serious dirt motorbike accident leaving him with brain injuries and a host of broken bones before being airlifted to Sydney where he was placed into an induced coma.

With his tight-knit family by his side throughout the entire ordeal, the Smith’s were relieved when they finally returned home to Dubbo.

Mum Brinae Smith said while they feel lucky to be back, it had been a “massive adjustment” as they all learn to live with their new reality.

“It’s been very hard to get back into the swing of things as Sydney was our safety blanket,” Mrs Smith told Dubbo Photo News.

“We were so blessed to come home to what seemed like a new home as everyone made it wheelchair friendly and safe for Durakai.”

With most of Durakai’s injuries healing well and hopes of getting rid of his wheelchair early in the new year, it is still unknown how long it will take for his limp to fully recover and his internal facial fractures to realign.

For the foreseeable future, the family will have to travel back and forth to Sydney for ongoing rehabilitation and brain injury treatment.

“Durakai is currently going really well, we still use his wheelchair when we’re out and about as he doesn’t have his muscle strength back or the stamina, so he is unable to understand when he is tired,” Mrs Smith explained.

“It is as if his brain doesn’t correspond with his legs that he is tired, so has been having little meltdowns and can become very aggravated which makes it hard to take him places as you never really know when they will happen.

Above: It is hoped Durakai Smith will be out of his wheelchair in the new year.

“It’s also all about us learning how to help our little man the best we can.

“The ‘no’ filter can be a challenge and can also be really funny as you never know what he is going to say.”

As if coming home wasn’t enough, in another major milestone for the young boy, Durakai also returned to his class for a

brief visit just before the school year ended.

Despite the stay only being an hour long, this was the first time the Year 1 student had reclaimed any sense of independence and been without his mum and dad by his side in months.

“It was very emotional,” Mrs Smith said.

“Glen (dad) and I took him to

class and had a little cry when we left.

“Something so simple, that one slice of normality to remind our little man how amazing he is and how blessed we all are to be able to take him back to school.”

On top of that, the family recently had an emotional reunion with one of the paramedics who attended the scene of Durakai’s

accident and ultimately saved his life.

A photo captures Durakai embracing the medic tightly, with Mrs Smith describing medical teams as being “worth their weight in gold.”

One might think a serious accident and a global pandemic may have been enough for one family to endure in 2020, but for the Smith’s, they’ve been dealt even more blows.

At the beginning of the year, during the birth of their third child Keirajarli, both Mrs Smith and bub nearly lost their lives.

Following that, a house fire meant the family of five were forced to move in with Mrs Smith’s parents.

Then came Durakai’s life-threatening accident.

But the Smith’s refuse to feel sorry for themselves.

Instead, they have taken the challenges in their stride with a positive outlook and inspiring attitude.

“It was a tough year, but it has set us up for the rest of our lives to not take anything for granted,” Mrs Smith said.

“If there is one thing I have learnt from Durakai’s accident, it’s let your kids be kids.

“We can’t wrap them all in cotton wool, everything we do in day-to-day life is dangerous, but we need to let them live their best lives.

“Durakai was involved in a serious accident and we are forever grateful he held on and fought hard.

“It’s all a learning curve and we’re ready for whatever that entails; the good, the bad, the ugly, because at the end of the day we get to hold him at night, even if he is being cheeky.”

Looking forward to a fresh start in the new year, Mrs Smith wouldn’t be drawn on what she described as a “big announcement for 2021.

“We can’t wait to tell everyone,” she teased.

“Watch this space.”

CHRISTMAS TOY RUN

TRIVIA TEST

“Big� country kid gives back

By JOHN RYAN

“A HUGE thank you to the Central West Riders SMC 2018 for the incredible donation of $1760 towards Doin It For Rural Aussie Kids.�

That’s was one of the messages singer Jason Owen wanted to get across during his visit to Dubbo – just how appreciative he was of that group of motorcyclists who support his charity which aims to make things better for country kids. “I grew up in Albert (102 kilometres west of where the family had businesses) and I saw so many friends and their families on the land go through hard times,� Mr Owen told Dubbo Photo News as he swung through the city on his Christmas Toy Run. “Since my career kicked off, I’ve been wanting to support kids throughout regional Australia, I did telethons and all sorts of things to raise money and I thought what can I do to make a real and positive impact, and this does just that.�

His second message was one of broader positivity for regional Australia and one that’s long been promoted by this newspaper and more recent campaigns such as

Buy from the Bush. “Doin it for Rural Aussie Kids not only helps kids, but it also helps families, and we buy from local businesses, so it helps everyone in these smaller towns. We buy our fuel from the local servo when we pass through, it’s all about helping families in need at Christmas,� he said. “Please do not forget it’s not over for rural Australia, they do need your support so if you’re travelling, you know it wasn’t just the drought, COVID-19’s affected travel so little businesses have been affected by this, the stories we’ve heard are just horrific. “So please, if you can just stop at a little store somewhere and buy a bottle of water and a packet of chips, a sandwich or anything like that, five or 10 makes a big difference if five to 10 people can do that a day in these little rural and remote stores, you have no idea how much it means to them.�

By the time he’d passed through Dubbo he’d clocked up well over 8000 kilometres, up through cen-

tral Queensland and down into Victoria before coming back to his home region to spend Christmas. “It’s just been an incredible few weeks on the road, it’s been extremely emotional hearing the stories from families right across rural Australia, you know, about kids walking a certain number of kilometres every day into school, families that have broken down to us because they knew that if it wasn’t for us, they wouldn’t have been able to give their kids a Christmas this year due to financial hard times on the land. “To be honest with you it’s really hard to speak about because it’s

home for me and I want to thank everyone very much for all their support for Doin it for Rural Aussie Kids and the 2020 Christmas Toy Run,� he said. “Thank you very much from the bottom on my heart, everyone knows how important and how much home, and rural Australia means to me and using my profile and career to be able to help make a difference where I can is just an absolute dream come true.�

If you missed the Christmas Toy Run you can still donate as the charity will be conducting activities throughout 2021.

POLICE patrolling the Castlereagh Highway near Walgett allegedly clocked a P-plater speeding at 148km/h on Sunday afternoon.

MENTAL HEALTH

Trading tradie balls

By JOHN RYAN

WHEN the paint started flying Tradies In Sight founder Bruno Efoti found himself very busy looking after the pig on the spit he was cooking for the tradies day paintball Christmas party.

The concept was born during a conversation with Dubbo Action Sports owner Dave Honeysett, whose day job is working In mental health and community wellbeing with the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

These two blokes realised the food cooked slowly over coals, coupled with the adrenaline fix of playing paintball, was an ideal way to get a group of blokes to open up and start talking with no pressure.

Bruno soon learnt that once the whistle from the paintball referee sounds and the paintballs start flying, everyone becomes mate and from then on, you can’t shut them up?

“It’s amazing, when they turn up here, they become two teams and so they have to get to know each other very quickly, they got on really well and then after the games they’re all mates,” Mr Efoti told Dubbo Photo News.

“They’ve come from different backgrounds and some of them have never crossed paths with each other before but it’s amazing how, when they get together in

this kind of setting, they quickly get on with each other, have a conversation and then get on with it.

“Dave’s been doing this for a while and I thought, you know, what a great idea just to partner with Dave and the concept is good, it goes with what we do, the values of Tradies In Sight, getting blokes together and having conversations while having fun together – it’s a perfect spot out here, a blokey kind of spot, we all feel safe and that helps us to connect well.”

Dave Honeysett said the importance of this collaborative aspect is crucial so it’s not up to one person or organisation to have to carry all the weight, instead by pooling resources and expertise he believes you can get better outcomes.

“I think it’s really important to see organisations come together for really important events like this Tradies In Sight day supporting mental health, drug and alcohol support in the community, The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has got people out here from our team, mental health clinicians just mingling and playing paintball,” Mr Honeysett said.

“The staff from Dubbo Action Sports donated their time to be part of the event as well, so it’s really important to see community coming together to support a really important cause.

“We want everyone from singles

to groups to come out on a regular basis, I’ve offered Bruno the opportunity to do this every three months so he can connect with all the tradies in town and every few months bring them out and do something similar to what we’ve done today.”

RFDS occupational therapist Joel Widmer said the paintball field was a pretty natural blokey setting to create conversations – he described it as a simple but powerful concept.

“It is. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of stigma around mental health and the number of situations where tradies are able to do something shoulder to shoulder and still have a supportive environment and being able to have that communication for something like mental health, it’s just fantastic,” he said.

“I think all these sorts of things really help to reduce the stigma and it allows people to access, or want to access, mental health extension if they would like to and that’s great, great things for the community and the people.”

First year apprentice with Andrew Seton Carpentry, 18-yearold Ethan Hayden, said it was a great day.

“It’s awesome, hey, the boys getting around together, it’s what it’s all about,” he said.

“You can have a yarn to other blokes about any worries you

have, you can talk to the boys and learn new things, had a great day.”

As a self-employed carpenter, Joe Nugent said it’s difficult to have a Christmas party, whereas at the paintball day you can join in with people from all sorts of other trades.

“It makes it heaps easier and you can meet new people as well, a few of these boys I didn’t know so it’s been good to tag along with them, it’s a great idea to have a joint Christmas party,” Mr Nugent said.

“Tradies In Sight identified there’s so much pressure on especially young tradies who’ve gone

out on their own who have to do all the bookwork, all the administration, all the PR and every other task as well as doing the manual labour that goes with the job.

Mr Nugent said it’s important to know people are out there if he needs some tradie specific advice.

“It’s crucial, especially when you go out on your own because you don’t know what to expect, so having someone to reach out to and trust, it’s great and Bruno’s doing a great job with that, I think he’s making a big difference in the community, it’s good to have him doing what he’s doing.”

EMERGENCY REPORT

Dubbo region has responded well to COVID-19 challenges

By DUGALD SAUNDERS, MEMBER FOR DUBBO ELECTORATE WHEN the clock ticked over to midnight and we said goodbye to 2019, little did we know that a year that featured the continuation of the worst drought in living memory and a black summer of bushfires could be outdone.

The early part of 2020 featured not only the continuation of the fires, drought and dust storms, but it brought a new threat to our way of life – the COVID-19 pandemic.

Along with the incredible work of our fire services, rain helped to put out the fires and provide renewed hope across our region by filling rivers and dams, and ensuring crops had a chance for the

first time in a number of years.

But through most of the year we have continued a battle with the unknown that came with the coronavirus.

As a government we have had to deal with a situation we have never confronted before, and as we end the year I can confidently say NSW has led the nation when it comes to managing the health and economic impacts brought about by the virus.

While I am proud of that, I take greater pride in the way the bush, particularly the Dubbo electorate, has responded to the challenges posed by COVID-19.

Once again you have shown amazing resilience, and while the battle isn’t actually over, I think everyone should rejoice in the

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders

fact we have had no deaths in the electorate and our number of positive tests has remained in single figures.

It’s been tough for many to

watch on as restrictions remained tight while our infection rate remained so low, but we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and there is a hope we will keep heading in the right direction when it comes to returning to our normal way of life.

I have also been inspired by the flexibility of our business community, teachers, health professionals and everyone else on the front line. Many have been forced to find new ways to do things but have done so with a minimum of fuss and to such a high standard they have created their own new normal.

In the regions we will continue to lead the way with COVID response and recovery, and I think we should all be proud of that.

LOOKING BACK @ 2020

Everyone did their absolute best Contributed by AMANDA THORPE TOTTENHAM Central School began 2020 still in the grip of the worst drought in history, crossing our fingers and toes for a break in the weather and an end to the drought.

Things were going well with great rainfall and a more positive outlook evident in the community. We had a “spring in our step”.

For us, the announcement of a worldwide pandemic was very surreal and unlike anything any of us had experienced before. We all held a naïve attitude that it probably wouldn’t really impact us or the way we live our lives.

Things progressed very rapidly, and we had to accept that the infection control and isolation measures were very real, and we weren’t escaping it. Like the rest of Australia, we found ourselves glued to the Prime Minister and Premier’s media conferences, wondering what would be next

for us all.

Unlike many of our regional and city counterparts, switching to full online learning for our rural and remote community wasn’t an option for many of our families or staff as many of us rely on

satellite internet. Approximately two thirds of our school community live out of town on farms and travel in to school each day.

Email, phone calls and the school Facebook page became our method of communication.

Learning From Home packs were created and sent home, with parents and caregivers taking the reins as our “program delivery technicians”.

Things such as online Easter Hat Parades, learning from home photo galleries and impromptu lessons for parents over the phone about the Maths being covered that week became the norm.

We all adjusted accordingly.

Some of us handled working from home better than others. I personally found too many distractions at home and the temptation to go and look at my cows was a constant!

Others adjusted with ease. It was the same in the learning from home environment. We found it

very important to reassure everyone that we knew every home was different. Every Mum and Dad worked to a different timetable, some parents were harder task masters than others, many families had essential workers and had to juggle shifts around lessons at home. All of this was fine with us and it had to be accepted by everyone in the community that everyone was doing the absolute best that they could.

My personal favourite phrase of the year has been, “It is what it is”.

This is a once in a lifetime event (hopefully). We can’t change it and we have to make the best of a bad situation. Everyone has done the best they can, both at school and at home, and “the best” will look different in each community, school and home, depending on each unique setting. As long as we can look back and accept that we have done all we can, we can look forward and make the most of lessons learned.

Woman charged over fatal crash A DRIVER has been charged after a woman died in a car crash near Tomingley on Monday.

Police say emergency services were called to Tomingley West Road, about 60km south-west of Dubbo, at about 8.30am on Monday after reports of a single-car crash.

“A passenger, believed to be a 34-year-old woman, died at the scene after being ejected from the vehicle,” police said.

Following police inquiries, the 33-year-old female driver from Cargo was arrested on Tuesday after being released from hospital.

She was taken to Dubbo Police Station where she was charged with dangerous driving occasioning death, and negligent driving occasioning death.

Boy charged over Forbes shop fire A BOY has been charged for allegedly lighting a fire at a shopping complex in Forbes on Monday morning.

Dubbo Photo News December 31, 2020-January 6, 2021 REFUGEE HEALTHCARE

BUSINESS

High Court ruling sees win for asylum seekers

Dubbo-centric companies perform on ASX

By LYDIA PEDRANA REFUGEES and asylum seekers who have been detained by the Australian government will now be able to fight for decent healthcare through the Federal Court, without facing lengthy delays and additional costs.

This decision, contrary to the argument of Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, was ruled by the High Court in a recent Commonwealth appeal which examined four test cases on behalf of asylum seeker children.

However, the High Court noted that the law in question was a defence that could be raised in some cases, but not a broad limit on the jurisdiction or power of the courts to hear cases.

Dubbo-based barrister Stephen Lawrence has appeared in similar cases and believes the ruling is good news for refugees and asylum seekers in offshore detention.

“They can now have their cases heard much faster than Peter Dutton would like, and they will be able to bring the government to account for the enormous harm caused by the minister’s negli-

gence and breaches of the duty of care,” Mr Lawrence told Dubbo Photo News.

“I do some work for the National Justice Project as a barrister and their success and hard work is to be commended.”

According to Maurice Blackburn Lawyers there are more than 50 cases alleging the Commonwealth was negligent in its duty of care that caused serious harm and suffering that have been on hold pending the outcome of this legal challenge.

Having represented a pregnant woman suffering preeclampsia while being held on Nauru, this comes as no surprise to Mr Lawrence.

“The government refused to medically evacuate her (the pregnant woman) until we secured a court order,” he said.

“The government put these families in a horrible situation where they could not protect, educate, or care for their children’s health and wellbeing.

“But instead of owning up to its legal obligations, the government has repeatedly tried to slow down the course of justice.”

TWO Dubbo-focussed companies have performed well on the Australian Stock Exchange in the second half of 2020.

MAAS Group Holdings Ltd listed in early December and has traded up 16 per cent in just under a month from its initial list price.

Meanwhile, Australian Strategic Materials Ltd, which is working on ‘the Dubbo Project’ to become a global supplier of specialty metals and rare earths, has enjoyed a significant rise in share price. From a low of 84 cents in August, its share price has gained more than 430 per cent to be trading around $6.75 this week.

The company says specialty metals and rare earths are critical for electric vehicles, clean energy, healthcare and robotics.

Further explaining why it’s important that such cases can be heard in the Federal Court rather than the High Court, Mr Lawrence said both time and money will be saved.

“The High Court charges $1,500 just for each case to be heard. It would have been a much slower process to submit the cases to the High Court, only to have them remitted back to the Federal Court,” he said.

“In the decision, the High Court refused to be treated as a 'post

box' by the government for cases that will be remitted back to other courts.”

Healthcare aside, when it comes to detainees, Mr Lawrence believes Australia generally needs to “do better.

“It was necessary and right to stop the boats, but many of our policies now are cruel and unnecessary,” he said.

“Many of these people are young children who have suffered so much.”

DUBBO DAY AWARDS

Local community work recognised

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THE Dubbo Day Awards recognise volunteers who have, and will continue to be, building blocks of the community.

The awards recognise volunteers who have, and will continue to be, building blocks of the community.

“It’s important that we recognise the people who make our community a great place to live, and what better way to do that doing than at a special ceremony, in honour of the day Dubbo was officially gazetted?” Deputy Mayor of the Dubbo Region, Councillor Stephen Lawrence said.

This year’s Tony McGrane Award was awarded to Rod Hannifey, who is a passionate advocate for road safety, using his personal experience as a truck driver to improve road safety.

A presentation ceremony was held at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) on Tuesday, December 15.

The awards coincide with Dubbo’s birthday; November 23, 1849.

Alex Boney Alex devotes his time to advocating for community togetherness and is always helping out wherever he is needed. Already in his young life, he has spent time transporting children to school, supporting community development events, volunteering at youth programs such as PCYC’s Friday night dinners, transporting and training young Indigenous people at touch football, or helping out kids who may be in trouble with the police or having a hard time. He is also a regular volunteer at the West View Drive-In, scanning tickets and making sure everyone gets the most out of their visit.

Alex has developed a passion for working with kids and is happiest when he sees young people in Dubbo programs having fun and reaching their goals. He is well known in the Dubbo community, and thinks we will all continue to see him helping out for many years to come.

A proud Indigenous man, Alex wears reconciliation on his sleeve.

He is great fun to be around and is an amazing mentor to many kids in our town, which makes him a very deserving recipient of this award.

Susanne Egan Sue has been involved in junior rugby league in the Dubbo community for over 20 years. She has been the Dubbo and District Junior Rugby League Secretary for over a decade, as well as being the secretary, registrar and sports trainer for several other Groups within the sport.

Sue has shown total commitment on both a local and regional level, which isn’t always the easiest line to tread.

Notably, Susanne was instrumental in the development of girls’ and women’s league tag in Dubbo, coordinating the Western Rams women’s Rugby League since its inception, and serving as secretary of the Goannas Western Women’s Rugby League and team manager for all teams.

Sue’s dedication to making rugby league accessible to all in the Dubbo community make her a very deserving recipient of this award.

Gargi Ganguly Gargi has dedicated over two decades to Orana Residents of the Indian Sub-Continental Heritage (ORISCON) as committee member, events coordinator, sports liaison officer and many other roles. She has also been the president and international project coordinator for the Rotary Club of Dubbo, of which she has been a member for over 16 years and involved with such programs as the Chumcriel Language School in Cambodia and Project Dignity in India.

Gargi has also been instrumental in ensuring the success of the Dubbo multicultural festival for the past decade and has been involved in the Dubbo PCYC for nearly as long.

Her experience across these groups have ranged from fundraising to liaising with national and international groups, from decorating to project management. She is truly willing to help out with any task, large or small.

Gargi is a highly professional migrant resident who has called Dubbo home for over 20 years.

Her philanthropic zeal and benevolent nature has led her to unreservedly serve in many facets of Dubbo Community service, extending well beyond those that have been mentioned today.

She is undoubtedly a very deserving winner of this award.

Teresa Greenwood The award may have come as a bit of a surprise to Teresa, but it certainly doesn’t surprise anyone who knows her. Teresa’s volunteer efforts have touched many areas in Dubbo, including Taronga Western Plains Zoo’s early morning walkers, where she is a Zoo Friends volunteer, and Dubbo’s Women’s refuge volunteer.

She has also been involved with Share the Dignity’s ‘It’s in the Bag’ campaign, collecting and donating sanitary items for women and girls in need.

For the past two years, Teresa has also been a volunteer crisis support worker at Lifeline. This year, she has gone above and beyond expectations in this role, answering more than 700 crisis calls.

She is a cheerful and supportive team member to all volunteer Crisis Support workers, and her contributions to this crucial service cannot be understated.

Congratulations on a well-deserved award.

Jack Monro At nearly 95 years of age, Jack continues to be a very supportive member of several associations, attending all meetings with dedication. Jack’s experience as a volunteer ranges from the Combined Pensioners and Superannuants Association, which aims to improve the rights of pensioners and retirees on low incomes, the Lions Club, Arthritis NSW, the Mixed Probus group and the Dub-

bo Neighbourhood Centre, now Connecting Community Services.

Jack always joins in enthusiastically and is extremely polite and courteous to all he meets. He gives his full attention to the matter or conversation at hand, ensuring each person he speaks with is the sole focus of his attention and making them feel valued.

With 70 years’ experience over our youngest recipient today, Jack’s dedication to the Dubbo community is well worth celebrating through this award.

Terrianne Sandry Terrianne has been involved in sport in Dubbo since her children started to swim and play cricket, rugby and netball. She has continued volunteering her time to these sports after her children have grown and moved on. She has given massive amounts of time to ensuring that children have every opportunity to reach their swimming goals, travelling across Western NSW and ensuring she is up to date with the latest procedures so that swimming carnivals meet the most rigorous standards.

Terrianne also served as a coach and committee member at Saints Netball club for over 10 years, as well as a referee. Terrianne’s commitment to swimming and netball in particular have meant that countless children and young people across Dubbo and Western NSW have had positive and mean-

For these reasons, Terrianne is deserving of this special recognition today.

Audrey Tremain Audrey is a long-term, active member of many groups and organisations, including the Dubbo branch of NSW Farmers, of which she is a former chairperson and long-term member of for more than 30 years, and the Country Women’s Association of Wongarbon. She has also been involved with Orana Women in Agriculture, Dubbo Show Society, and Dubbo Baptist Church.

Audrey is very involved with any agricultural and environmental issues and is highly dedicated to any role she takes on.

Her encouragement of younger or newer members to be involved is something that stands out to those around her.

Audrey is described as being a strong, bright and keen woman, and very deserving of this award.

Shirley Wilson Shirley has dedicated her time to various volunteer roles, all whilst holding the position of CEO at the Allira Childcare Centre, which she instigated over 30 years ago, recognising the need for Dubbo’s first Aboriginal childcare centre.

She has shown great leadership in all of her roles, including as Chairperson at Dubbo Aboriginal Community Working Party and Ngurambang Out of Home Care, and Deputy Chairperson of the Three Rivers Regional Assembly. Shirley has been the spokesperson for these groups, liaising with various sectors within Dubbo to talk on matters regarding the local Aboriginal community.

Shirley has a real passion for Aboriginal youth and would like to see more opportunities for them, and safe spaces within the community. She continues to juggle a very busy schedule to advocate on their behalf. She

is a very deserving recipient of this award.

Ian Wray Ian has a strong history of volunteering and brought his successful business management skills into his role as past president of the St Vincent de Paul Society’s St Brigid’s Conference. During this past, very stressful year, Ian has supported all other Conference members. He leads from the front and gives most generously of his time and talents. He is never too busy to sit and listen, giving without considering personal cost to himself.

As a former Councillor of Dubbo City Council, Ian has continued to check in on those who have followed him into office and lend a sympathetic ear or quiet word of advice. Ian is always kind and compassionate and shows great empathy towards others. He embodies perfectly the message of Vinnies in all that he does.

Ian is a very deserving recipient of this award.

GRIEF SUPPORT

NALAG farewells Trudy, sort of

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

TRUDY Hanson’s name is synonymous with NALAG, the National Association for Loss and Grief (NSW). So much so, imagining the organisation without its outgoing CEO, leaves a great sense of loss in itself.

After 30 years of dedicated service, however, she says it’s time to retire with a caravan, long trips with her husband and there are 10 grandkids waiting in the wings to help her along the way.

By her own admission, Trudy’s life has been one of giving, and there are many hundreds of people in Dubbo and around the region who will have found solace, healing and a shoulder to cry on, in the embrace of all that NALAG does and stands for.

She leaves behind a sound and unique legacy plus a rock-solid team of mostly volunteers, who fly the flag of support and understanding, just as high and with as much heart as Trudy has.

“A lot of the success here is that NALAG’s been able to have really good staff and a huge volume of really dedicated volunteers because without them NALAG wouldn’t exist. It takes a team.

Yes, I may have been the driver, but really it relies on all those other people that have helped,” Trudy told Dubbo Photo News.

Whether it’s the pain of a still born baby, the loss of a farm to drought or as COVID has revealed, loss of the normal, simple ways we connect with each other, no loss or grief has been too great or too small for NALAG to shoulder, with Trudy at the helm.

“I’m most proud of getting the message out there that grief is a normal part of life and we’ve been able to give the opportunity to those people free of charge,

National Association for Loss and Grief (NSW) chief executive officer Trudy Hanson, OAM, is retiring after 30 years serving our community. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

to be able to come here to a place of healing to be supported by – I think – the volunteers who are their own wounded healers.

They’re the people who’ve travelled their own stream of grief and are giving back.

“There’s nowhere like this in Dubbo. I’m proud of the place, the space we’ve created. It’s unique and it makes a lot of difference I think for people to know that because our volunteers are not getting paid, they are here for the journey with them. They’re here

to listen.”

Trudy has also been a wounded healer.

“What do you know about grief until you’re dumped in the middle of it? I really sought NALAG for my children after their grandfather died, so that was the beginning. I figured there was no education around for my children, for them to understand what had happened and I had little myself.

“My parents were out of my life by the time I was 10. Both had died. For me there was a lot of

healing for myself for unresolved grief as a child.”

After joining the old Orana chapter of NALAG, she eventually held every volunteer position there was.

“I then worked for Health in youth suicide prevention, and while I was there, I was encouraged to apply for some funding for NALAG. I did and Judy Kelly, Joan Dunn and I, there was just the three of us, got started. We started at Whyte Street with $100,000 and now as I go, the funding is

$1.5 million.”

Those funds have been put to work intensively in recent years supporting individuals and communities during the drought, and COVID lockdowns.

“People have experienced isolation which is a huge contributing factor to grief. We’re a tribal people. We need people around us when we’re grieving. What I predicted was after the six weeks, seven weeks, eight weeks, people would feel it’s not as much fun as they thought it would be.

“Then what happened after all the funerals? What do you want after there’s been a death? You want contact with a person, and that wasn’t able to be done. So, you’ve got people ringing up now saying a person died and they still think they’re on holidays because they couldn’t go to the funeral or be there to say goodbye.

So, they’re experiencing that grief again now.”

Trudy leaves NALAG with a lot of gratitude for supporters like NSW Health and people who have contributed financially to NALAG. What she won’t miss are KPI’s.

“I can forget about that and deadlines and writing submissions,” she laughed.

The biggest takeaway from her service to community however is meeting and helping the many who sought out NALAGs services.

“It will be all those people who trust us with their sacred stories,” she said.

If you’d like to get in contact with Trudy call her on 0438 829 200 or email trudy@highway. com.au z If you or someone you know is in need of support call Lifeline on 131114.

How to avoid work-from-home burnout WORKLIFE TIPS 2020 has been the year of WFH – Working From Home. While many of us have returned to the office, many more are still home-based either full-time or part-time. Telecommuting has its perks, but it can also make you feel unmotivated, isolated, easily distracted and overwhelmed. Here are six tips to help you stave off burnout.

1. Create a morning routine Wake up 30 to 90 minutes before work, and establish rituals that set a positive tone for your day. Ease into your morning by stretching, taking a shower, listening to a podcast, making a smoothie or reading the newspaper.

2. Connect with colleagues Check in with your co-workers every morning and schedule virtual coffee breaks to keep up morale and maintain a sense of community. If you want to discuss a project, pick up the phone or hop on a video call rather than send an email.

3. Take effective breaks Stepping away from your computer periodically allows you to recharge and renews your motivation. Go for a walk (without your phone), listen to a guided meditation, clean up your desk, read a magazine article or put on some music and dance.

4. Exercise every day Regular physical activity clears your mind and relieves stress. It also helps you sleep

better, gives you more energy and boosts your self-confidence. Make exercise a priority by scheduling a morning run, afternoon spin class or bedtime yoga session the way you would a work meeting.

5. Make time to cook Putting together a snack or meal from scratch is therapeutic because it helps you tap into your creativity and feel productive. Cooking with fresh ingredients will also ensure you’re eating nutritious food that gives you the energy you need to get through the day.

6. Establish boundaries Set office hours and stick to them. Don’t let your workday bleed into your evenings and weekends, as that free time is

crucial to your well-being. Send your co-workers a sign-off email at the end of the day, then transition from work to relaxation by going for a walk or taking your kids to the park.

If you’re struggling to work from home and feel like you might be approaching burnout, don’t hesitate to speak with a mental health professional.

Symptoms of burnout THE tell-tale signs that you’re approaching burnout include (but aren’t limited to) chronic fatigue, increased irritability, lack of motivation, loss of enjoyment, trouble concentrating, anxiety and feelings of isolation or detachment.

IN a year where good news stories are often overlooked or ignored, here’s one which has plenty to gladden every heart.

Therese Maidens says her family is very close and you only have to look at this photo to understand they’re no idle words.

This photo shows five generations of women from the same family, including matriarch Rachel Embleton at age 96 and tiny Poppie Redden, a new-born baby girl.

Incredibly Rachel and Poppie share a birthday – December 17.

“Rachel and Poppie being born on the same day has made it all the more special when we will celebrate birthdays,” Therese Maidens told Dubbo Photo News.

Poppie Redden also has two great, great grandmothers on her dad’s side of the family who live in Coonabarabran.

The coincidence of Poppie being born on December 17 has amazed this family of amazing women – Poppie’s great, great grandmother Rachel Embleton shares that birthdate.

LOOKING BACK @ 2020

The fighting spirit of our nation stood out Contributed by GREG WARREN THE older you get, the more the years seem to roll into one.

But no matter how old or young you are, there is no doubt we will never forget the year 2020.

Most of us have not been alive long enough to witness devastation on a global scale like that caused by COVID-19.

The virus has wreaked havoc through every corner of the earth, killing well over a million people But like we always do in Australia, we adapt and play the hand we’ve been dealt.

I for one, know that the pandemic has caused me to reassess and reflect on many things I may have taken for granted.

Who would have guessed that catching plane overseas of interstate would not be an option?

Who would have guessed that the morning ritual of picking up a takeaway coffee from my regular cafes would also be taken off the table – if only temporarily.

I know after the year that has been, that I am extremely grateful for the world we live in where we have the luxury or going out for dinner or grabbing a coffee in the morning.

It was really pleasing to see

Greg Warren says ANZAC Day was a highlight of 2020, to see people mark the occasion at home. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED

how people adapted to the challenges of being locked down – and there was perhaps no greater example than Anzac Day. As a veteran, Anzac Day is one of the most important days of the year.

I am so proud to see thou-

sands of people turn out to local dawn services to pay their respects to the men and women who have served out nation so valiantly.

While we couldn’t gather in large crowds this year, it was heartening to see so many people still rise before dawn

and listen and watch the services in their own homes.

That to me, was a true indication of the fighting spirit our nation is famous for.

One of the things I missed most in during the lockdown was the face-to-face contact with people.

As a Member of Parliament, I don’t believe sitting behind a desk every day is productive for myself individually, or for the community and stakeholders I represent.

I like to be out and about, having chats to random punters on the street and figuring out ways how I, as a Member of Parliament, can actually make their lives better.

Now that restrictions have eased, I am certainly making up for lost time by doing that every chance I get.

I am also getting back out to Dubbo – the town I grew up in for the first 17 years of my life – as much as I can to see my family and friends.

As they say, you can take the boy out of the country, but you’ll never take the country out of the boy.

Let’s put a challenging and unique 2020 behind us and look forward to next year. z Greg Warren is the Shadow Minister for Local Government, Shadow Minister for Veterans and Shadow Minister for Western Sydney

LOOKING FORWARD/BACK

Let’s remember the lessons of 2020 Contributed by FR GREG KENNEDY, ST BRIGID’S PARISH, DUBBO

Fr Greg Kennedy’s hope is we don’t forget the lesson of awareness for those less fortunate than ourselves.

I HAVE been to many graduation or end of school functions over the past month and nearly every time someone gives a speech the phrase “a year like no other” or something similar comes up.

In one respect it is very true.

Another part of me says every year is like no other – in the sense that I am always a year older (with some consequences for health), different people have come and gone in my life, my experiences have varied – I

finally the pandemic have heightened our awareness of those less fortunate than ourselves.

My hope is that we don’t forget that lesson.

My prayer is that we will maintain a consistent compassion, not only in crisis, but in the everyday struggles of life.

On a global scale there are tremendous challenges. We can often be discouraged by the corruption and senselessness of politics. I am also encouraged by the efforts of many world leaders to take effective action on climate change. I am hopeful of

the many ‘prophets’ in our own country and abroad who not only speak but act out of compassion and strive for justice in the myriad situations of our global community.

The pandemic has reinforced what we have always known in some way: that we are interdependent and cannot survive without each other.

So, that is my hope for 2021: that we will continue to act out of the belief that we belong together, and we must care for all of humanity, beginning with the most in need.

am different.

Some years we experience more loss than others, some years we feel more blessed with the events that have occurred.

This year I have often felt frustrated and felt the loss of good friends, family and parishioners.

I have also slowed down a bit, reflected a bit more and become more consistent in taking care of my well-being – in all its aspects.

One of the things I have noticed, and felt myself, is that most of us are more attuned to the needs of others. The persistent drought, the bushfires, and

Dubbo Photo News December 31, 2020-January 6, 2021 LOOKING BACK @ 2020

2020 has been a year of teamwork Contributed by MICHAEL MCMAHON, DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL, CEO THE year 2020 has frequently been summed up by many people and mainstream media in a single word – some choice words unable to be reprinted. Even global publishing company Merriam-Webster’s top word of 2020 shouldn’t appear as a shock: pandemic.

As Chief Executive Officer of Dubbo Regional Council, my word that best summarises 2020: team.

It certainly isn’t cliché when you consider some 600 local people who work in Council across our local government really did come together as a ‘team’ to assist the region through the worst the year could throw at our community.

This included: z the third straight year of the worst drought of record z pre-COVID-19 global economic downturn that affected large cross-sections of our region’s businesses and industries z bushfire threat – despite the drought z and of course, the Coronavirus pandemic At the peak of drought, the region was hurled further into a water crisis that affected nearly 100 per cent of the state.

The ‘pinch’ felt much closer to home as the NSW Government restricted water supplies to towns regionally; Councils (including our own) forced into tight water

restrictions in response.

Councillors and Council senior executive worked closely to evaluate the worsening crisis and put into place policies and decisions that would allow the organisation to respond.

‘Day zero’, the effect of these two words used extensively in the media during the height of the drought pushing our region’s prosperity into spin at a time

when local business and tourism were needed most. Council teams pulled together to respond – implementing changes to save and conserve water, seeking ways (thanks to state and federal funding for water security and drought resilience) to find, secure and harness the supply of urgently needed water.

Council teams worked closely with business and industry to

combat and slow the effects of economic decline.

Council teams came together to assist and educate the public and business to be wise with our water – against the backdrop of the toughest water restrictions the region has ever faced.

Council teams worked on ways to keep events going, secure investment in the region, and keep the region top-of-mind as a holiday destination.

Council teams came together to keep the presentation of our region up to the mark as best as they could, given the conditions.

Council teams kept essential services going – particularly water and sewer services – and ensured Council’s infrastructure was maintained.

Then, we saw rain arrive in the first quarter of the year, bringing much relief and subsequent follow-up rain.

Those same teams then pivoted and found new and innovative ways of working as the region was gripped by the global effect of COVID-19. Some teams worked from home, those who couldn’t because of their critical roles maintained the ‘frontline’ presence that kept things going – keeping our community safe and functioning. Another challenge for Council, another example of a great team pulling together to support and serve the community – thank you.

To the community – thank you for backing our team.

IT’S A RECORD! Angel Zayas has brought tortillas to new heights to break the Guinness World Records for the tallest stack of tortillas. The 24-yearold’s three-hour attempt resulted in a tower of tortillas measuring 79.0cm, breaking the previous record of 76.5cm. “I was inspired by this title because I didn’t think a record like this existed and I thought, ‘How hard could this be?’ And it ended up being A LOT harder than it seemed. I don’t know who thought of this title but it’s iconic and amazing!” Angel said. To prepare, he tested various tortillas to see which types stacked the best and easiest to not only get the record but also avoid food wastage. From small to large, corn, or flour-based tortillas, Angel tried them all.

The floods of 2010

By JOHN RYAN JUST 10 years ago Dubbo was a very different place after weeks of rains saw local rivers rise.

Water from the Bell River was rushing into the Macquarie at Wellington and adding its force

to the waters flowing towards Dubbo.

Just north of the city the swollen Talbragar River was forcing its way into the Macquarie, causing the already flooded main river to back-up the floodwaters, causing extensive flooding in the city.

COVID-19

Global pandemic – no problem MARCUS Chapman spent years reporting on Dubbo sport for a local news bulletin, appearing nightly on TV screens in thousands of homes across the region.

Now, in the midst of a global pandemic, his family has moved to North Carolina and as he explains here, their lives are now half a world away from the island continent which he says is the envy of the world.

Here’s Marcus Chapman’s 2020 in his own words.

••• I REMEMBER starting 2020 with so much hope. It was a simpler time.

Sure, we were still in the worst drought in 100 years and experiencing one of the most devastating bushfire seasons ever. And yes, it might have only been January, but at least there would be no other crazy events in 2020, right?

Things were fabulous in February. A couple of epic weddings, everyone was happy and healthy.

I got an eagle on the ninth at Wentworth.

Then... Boom! COVID-19. The Coronavirus, a global pandemic. An epidemic. Kung Flu. Ok, so only one of us actually called it “Kung Flu”.

Before you could say Ruby Princess, things escalated very quickly.

Of course, we all know by now who is to blame for bringing COVID to Australia. Yep – Tom Hanks.

Thanks Tom. There was a period where it seemed like every hour on the news came a report about an event that was cancelled, and restrictions to the number of people that could gather was getting lower and lower.

First it was 500. Then 100. Then 10.

With so much uncertainty, many feared for their jobs, and for the health and well-being of family members – particularly the vulnerable.

Like firefighters earlier in the year, health care workers, teachers, retail staff and basically anyone battling in the fight against the pandemic were rightfully celebrated as heroes.

Apart from a few melees over toilet paper, things in Australia didn’t turn out as badly as we had prepared for, although it was pretty bad in most places around the world.

And with that, what better time to move overseas? If you haven’t noticed – we no longer live in Australia. Read on...

While corona news was unfolding, the likelihood of my wife Lee being offered a job in South Carolina was bubbling beneath the surface.

It wasn’t an easy decision for us to make with the kids doing so well at school, and the thought of leaving our amazing friends and family for two years, but we decided we’d take the opportunity and go for it.

My Bulldogs languishing in last position for most of the year

made the decision a little easier, but COVID-19 was making things rather problematic for us before we left.

In mid-May, Lee started her new job from home as a Senior Procurement Manager with an Australian-owned mining company called OceanaGold, but we had little idea of when she would be asked to fly out to work on site in the US. There was also the issue of me needing a Green Card and a whole bunch of other clearances to be able leave one country and be accepted into another in the middle of a global pandemic.

With the US Embassy putting a hold on Green Card applications, we dealt with the possibility that Lee could be on the other side of the world on her own for six months or more.

Then just days before she found out she was required in the US, my application began.

The short time frame and much to do made farewells difficult for Lee but she did what she could, and she was off.

The kids and I stayed at Casa de Charlea. It gave mum and dad quality time with the kids, and me some time to pack up the house to rent out – with plenty of help from the amazing aforementioned.

In between working hard and settling into her new gig, Lee was also busy finding a house in a nice area for us all to live.

After watching several videos, she sent us and a couple of 2am Facetime sessions, we pinned our hopes on a sweet house in the family-friendly community of Millbridge which we were fortunate to get approved in record time.

While the job was in South Carolina, Millbridge is a 45-minute drive away in North Carolina – the

home of NFL’s Carolina Panthers, the Michael Jordan-owned Charlotte Hornets, Charlotte Knights baseball, Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL and Major Leagues Soccer’s newest franchise – Charlotte FC. It’s also where aviation began, as well as Pepsi, Putt Putt golf, bar codes and Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Follow me for more fun North Carolina facts.

We brought only a few suitcases of clothes and some beloved plush toys, so Lee had the task of buying and putting together everything else for the house, from cars to cutlery, TV’s, couches, beds, food and Christmas decorations.

As luck would have it, there was

another young family right next door, and our super cool neighbours were only too happy to help Lee out along with a few other great people.

While we all missed Lee, the kids and I did have six really nice weeks at mum and dad’s before it was our turn to head off. We entered the virtually empty Sydney airport to get on a virtually empty plane to fly to our virtually empty home.

We flew Sydney to San Francisco, then to Chicago and then Charlotte. 30 hours in total. It was a tough introduction to mandatory mask wearing but Henry and Chloe took it on with their usual determination and grace. I needn’t have worried.

Absolute superstars.

Their reward at our final destination was their emotional mother holding a “Welcome Chapmans” banner. It was a special moment.

Suddenly we were out. No temperature checks. No questions. No guidelines or recommendations on COVID. No quarantine.

We woke up in a new country and familiarised ourselves with our nice house and gorgeous neighbourhood with award winning amenities and walking trails.

And it was summer.

Our first few weeks felt like we were living in a resort with many days spent at the community pools.

Three weeks later came the start of the school year which began remotely from home and that was fine, although it wasn’t the ideal way for the kids to meet other kids.

Soon it was off to their new school one day a week before increasing to four days a week.

Chloe is loving Kensington Elementary (Go Knights!) and making friends all the time. She even topped the class in a test on US currency. The pandemic has meant she can’t do gymnastics or swimming just yet but she is enjoying Girl Scouts. She misses our dog Digby and mentions him almost every day but is meeting plenty of neighbourhood pups and likes to count doggies everywhere we go. A total of 82 dogs at the Whitewater Centre remains the benchmark.

Henry is also doing really well at school and his love of soccer continues. A fractured wrist only slowed him down temporarily.

He was selected to be part of an academy squad and has really ‘kicked on’ with his skills and is making some great friends.

Meeting families through the academy squad has probably been the best thing that’s happened to all of us here.

Of course, Lee and her job is the glue keeping it all together. She’s really enjoying it and from all accounts seems to be doing very well in her role, proving to be a major asset for the company.

No surprises there.

Lee is also back riding horses regularly at a nearby equestrian centre. Chloe is also a regular at

25

Dubbo Photo News December 31, 2020-January 6, 2021

the centre and keeps busy chatting to all the horses.

As for me, I’m keeping busy as a chauffeur, school tutor, personal chef, cleaner, fashion stylist, hygiene consultant, general repairs and maintenance, internet safety monitor, finance minister, nurse, waiter, purchasing officer, peacekeeper, travel agent and recreation director. The pay is awful, but the conditions are pretty awesome.

In case you’re wondering, Lee’s role in procurement, among other things, is to contact various suppliers and make key purchasing decisions for the company. One day she came home and told me

she bought a mining truck for $20 million. On the same day, I bought two-for-one lucky charms at the store, so in terms of important roles, we’re basically the same.

In my spare time I’ve been enjoying getting out and exploring what’s around us – particularly the trails. I’ve got some golfing buddies, doing some running, watching important documentaries such as Cobra Kai, posting silly videos and writing exceedingly long Christmas letters.

There was also the 2020 US presidential election which you might have heard about. The campaigns were in full swing when

i d we arrived.

It was relentless, it was ugly, but it was fascinating to watch it all unfold. I’ll never complain about another Australian election.

I know I joked about everyone thinking the person they voted for had won and therefore everyone was happy and what a great system it was, but it was a lot more divisive of course, and still is.

I listened to plenty of interesting arguments from both sides but the quote that made the most sense to me came from Deepak Chopra who said, “You Don’t Have to be Right”.

At the end of the day, it’s not a political party that can make a

t greatt – it’s it’ the th people. l country We’re fortunate to have met some very kind, generous people here and they are the reasons why we’re having a good time.

And I can tell you when it comes to COVID, Australia truly is the talk and envy of the world.

As a friend of mine here wrote – “Australia has earned the right to live normal lives, have parties, see concerts and sports – because you actually chose the common good over being selfish.”

Well, there was that Melbournian hotel quarantine security officer, but perhaps the less said about that incident, the better.

We may only be here for anoth-

th b k fforer 18 months, butt we llook ward to meeting more people and seeing many more of the sights of the USA in 2021.

It’s an incredible place with so much to offer.

To sum up – 2020 has been tough for everyone and there have been a lot of restrictions placed on what we can and cannot do, but 2020 was also the year the Chapman’s were fortunate to be given the opportunity to take on this big adventure.

To everyone near and far – Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and we hope 2021 will be your best yet.

Much love xx

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

A farming area with a history of innovation The Editor, In Wellington, 2020 saw the ‘collision’ of two significant contributions to a more sustainable prosperous Australia from one site.

In the early 1900s much of the land on the Mudgee Road boundary of Wellington which is now covered in Solar Panels was owned by Joseph Quirk, a Wellington-based solicitor of Quirk, Davidson and Easdown Solicitors, and was share-farmed by William Thomas Everett.

William Everett was contracted to the University of NSW to grow experimental wheat crops on Mr Quirk’s land to improve yield, disease resistance and determine best varieties for environmental compatibility, and this continued until Mr Quirk’s daughter, Louise, married Col Cameron and they moved onto the property and the Everett family moved on.

The Everett family moved to the substantial Narromine property of “Willydah”, owned by the Maynard family, where the contract to grow experimental wheat crops continued and many of the wheat varieties that contributed to this year’s record crop undoubtedly had their origins on this Wellington site and continued at Narromine.

It is worthy of note that one wheat variety originating from this arrangement was grown by William Everett on a share-farming arrangement on the Eade family property at Euchareena, and won a Worldwide Wheat Competition in Chicago USA and weighed in at 70lbs/bushel.

Today that same Wellington land has been declared part of a Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) and will once again play a leading role in creating a more sustainable prosperous existence for us all.

For many it is sad that we will never see another crop on this land, but as time marches on it can be appeasing to reflect on those things that have occurred to enhance our sustainability, prosperity and overall living standards since settlement.

Roger Everett, Maryvale

No doubt about the Nationals The Editor, The leader of the Nationals John Barilaro is encouraging city people to “flock to the regions”. Really! He said that at the same time as the Chief Health Officer advised city people “to stay home”. Mr Barilaro is not suggesting people “flock” to his “neck of the woods”.

I appreciate that businesses in regional areas are hurting because of lack of tourists and I feel for them, but if we get an influx of people from Sydney arriving on our doorstep and COVID-19 runs rampant here, businesses will be even worse off.

If the Nationals are so worried about small businesses in the regions why hasn’t Mr Barilaro approached the Treasurer to issue the $100 food and entertainment vouchers to the regions?

Businesses in the Sydney CBD have said they did not want the vouchers at this time. The money has been allocated, so why not issue them to people in the regions to help businesses over the mountains. A moment’s thought would show that this is public expenditure that is useful.

Maybe the Nationals do not have enough ‘push’ to make this happen. Dugald Saunders, have you perhaps had a chat with Mr Barilaro about this prospect? I doubt it. Why don’t you bang hard on that table Dugald Saunders and

look after your constituents.

What are you going to do, Mr Barilaro, if the regions suffer from a COVID-19 outbreak – which we have not had so far. Will you blame the people you have encouraged to “flock to the regions”?

Peace in the USA The Editor, Right now in the USA the left is happy with Biden being declared the next president, and many on the right still believe that Trump will magically win. So there is a no-fire standoff.

But come January 20 one side will be the winner and the other the loser. Whoever loses will be utterly convinced that they were robbed.

There is only one way this imminent civil war can be avoided, in my humble opinion. Hear me out as I explain the one possibility that would result in a very different outcome, where peace comes

to the USA. An outcome where most US citizens are unified in at least accepting the election result.

Let’s start with an observation.

Is it fair to say that 5 per cent on the left and 5 per cent on the right will never accept the result? But that the remaining 90 per cent, when given facts, are capable of rationally processing those facts and coming to logical conclusions? Not all will like the conclusions they come to. But civilised people are able to get over themselves and move on.

In light of the many allegations of foreign election interference floating around in the USA, 90 per cent of the population simply need to know if there was interference, or not. They will accept the result and move on.

Therefore, the ongoing investigations of these allegations are critical to bringing closure for people, so they can accept that the President has been elected legitimately, that the system is not broken, and that the election was

not stolen.

Investigators have until January 20, inauguration day, to prove to the people that the election was not stolen. But what if it was stolen? That could bring the country together also. Think about it. If foreign interference in the election happened then that is an attack on the nation, an attack on every person’s sovereign right to vote. So, as in times of war, people will be united facing a common enemy.

So peace may well come to USA society if there is a transparent and conclusive assessment of the current allegations of foreign interference. Let’s hope so.

Improving the voting process – so we, the people, Peter Bartley ❚ OPINION

THERE is an old saying that people like voting but don’t like elections.

There are many reasons why this is so, particularly the part about not liking election times.

In 2019 there were two significant elections for Dubbo voters – the NSW state election on March 23 and the federal election on May 18.

A 228-page report into the 2019 federal election has recently been released and makes interesting reading, with many recommendations for making elections a better experience for voters.

The federal election was participated in by a record number of Australians, with 96.8 per cent enrolled to vote (16.4 million people).

Nearly one-third (32.5 per cent) of votes were delivered by the early voting or ‘pre-poll’ system.

Parliamentarians refer to their

PETER BARTLEY has run numerous campaigns for the Nationals both at the state level for the seat of Dubbo, and federally for the seat of Parkes. He’s a self-described political tragic and can’t explain, even to himself, why he feels compelled to wade through any and every piece of electoral trivia in his bid to understand how our political system works. He’s recently read through the 228-page report into the 2019 federal election and, because he knows very few other people will take the time, has offered these insights from his perspective. ‘patch’ as electorates but technically they are called electoral “divisions”. The Division of Parkes is classified as a rural Division.

Rural divisions such as Parkes recorded even higher levels of prepoll voting of 38.3 per cent.

However informal voting in rural divisions was unfortunately the highest at 6.01 per cent.

The most interesting parts of the report by the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters (JSCEM) were the 27 recommendations for change.

Some of the recommendations will be the subject of much debate.

Optional Voting The majority report has recommended that compulsory preferential voting be replaced with optional preferential voting. The dissenting reports from the Greens and Labor both disagree.

Labor submits that compulsory voting is the cornerstone of Australian democracy and is known to improve satisfaction with democracy.

Should we really force people to vote if they don’t want to? My view is that optional voting would weed out many of the disgruntled voters who don’t want to vote and would leave the majority of voters actually wanting to participate in the election process.

The participation figures might also drop because of apathy or forgetfulness and it would place a bigger onus on candidates to ‘get out the vote’ as they say in America. The last election in the United States saw Barack Obama’s previous record vote of 69.3 million ballots in 2008 surpassed by both candidates this year – Joe Biden with 81.3 million votes and Don-

ald Trump with 74.2 million votes.

If the voters are passionate enough about change, they will turn out in greater numbers, optional voting or not.

Electronic Certified Roll The days of having your named ruled through with a ruler on a paper spreadsheet on polling day must surely be numbered. And using a pencil and paper to cast your vote is also antiquated.

It can’t be beyond the abilities and resources of governments to move to electronic voting which already occurs with some categories of voters (such as the iVote system). Obviously electoral security and cybersecurity measures would need to be of the highest quality.

Shorter Pre Poll Period Do voters really need three weeks before election day to find an available opportunity to vote? The

JSCEM report has quoted from a Liberal Party submission which said: “Two weeks would still allow a reasonable opportunity for early voting to support voters with legitimate reasons for not being able to attend a polling place on election day”. In my experience the first of the current three weeks of pre-poll is pretty quiet and one suspects those who cast their vote in this period could, in the main, still be able to do so during the other two weeks.

Meet Pre Poll Criteria There are 10 reasons for eligibility for early voting. In the past, voters had to sign a form and declare which of the 10 reasons applied to them. Now voters don’t need to say or declare anything. It seems that simple convenience rules the roost and that it is now socially acceptable to bend or ignore the rules on eligibility.

Pre-poll voting is extended as an assistance to voters who can’t vote on election day. It shouldn’t be too much to ask that only voters with legitimate reasons for being unable to vote on election day be al-

Dubbo Photo News e s December ece be 31, 3 , 2020-January 6, 2021

Greg Smart ❚ OPINION I usually wrap up the year’s events by attempting a satirical article on the Winners and Losers of the past 12 months – praising the winners and lampooning the losers.

However, this year is different because I think 2020 doesn’t deserve satire. In many ways it satirised itself. The hypocrisy, mismanagement, arrogance and politicking far outweighed the moments of joy and human solidarity.

The first portion of the year saw over 17 million hectares destroyed and 34 lives directly lost due to the widespread and intense bushfires. The ideal conditions of high temperatures and fierce wind following a long drought resulted in month after month of relentless fires that regularly overwhelmed the efforts of exhausted firefighting volunteers, and the loss of over 3500 homes and millions of animals.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison felt the heat with a justifiable backlash against his family holiday to Hawaii at the height of the crisis. Morrison told Radio 2GB the holiday was a promise to his family from a hard-working Dad. Fair enough. But the job of a leader at a minimum, is to show up at work in the time of a crisis. This he failed to do. Failed to adjust his priorities, failed to demonstrate some empathy and failed to reassure the Australian public that their government will help in their time of need.

The reception he received from the fire-affected public when he eventually showed his face was understandably hostile. Don’t forget Morrison has a staff of over 20 people in his communications department to massage his image, his press secretary is ex-The Daily Telegraph, and yet not one of them seemed able to predict going on holiday in the middle of national crisis was going to fail the pub test.

Talk about a Canberra bubble.

Morrison’s ultimate arrogance was to declare “I don’t hold a hose mate” when pressed during a radio interview. Yet he signed up for the top job, and while he may not be required to hold a hose, he is required to show he is at the helm.

2020 – The Summary It would seem his promised $2 billion bushfire recovery scheme has also gone on leave; a senate estimates committee was recently told the $2 billion was a ‘notional amount’ and not additional money for distribution.

The bushfire disaster raised the subject of climate change, and Australia’s leaders were rightly asked whether they thought a changing climate had contributed to the severity and length of the fire season. And wasn’t it time to address climate change with meaningful policy?

The Federal and NSW Governments both batted away questions at the time, and generally avoided the topic when possible. The Newscorp media ran their usually anti-climate change line, instead blaming arsonists for lighting fires. Federal minister Peter Dutton, always one to lecture on his view of law and order, stated 250 people or more had been charged with arson, despite no data from law enforcement agencies to back this up.

The false statements and deflection tactics came thick and fast in the next disaster – the COVID-19 pandemic.

The risk of COVID-19 was well known before the Ruby Princess cruise ship docked in Sydney. Prior to docking, Australian Border Force was aware of passengers with ‘flu-like symptoms’ and 13 were in isolation. Australian Border Force mistakenly believed passengers who had tested negative to the common flu were negative to COVID-19 and granted permission for passengers to disembark. This COVID-19 cluster went on to be responsible for 662 infections and 21 deaths.

The press would have you believe NSW Health was responsible for permitting the passengers to disembark, continuing the Murdoch press protection racket for the Federal Government. Premier Gladys Berejiklian took some temporary heat, but then the news cycle moved on. COVID-19 ran rampant in aged care facilities and Victoria went into an extended hard lockdown.

The fact the Federal Government is constitutionally responsible for quarantine and aged care did not make the news. That the vast majority of deaths were in understaffed, privately-owned aged care homes (compared to publicly run facilities) was not reported either. The right-wing press was vociferous in their criticism of the Victorian Premier, and continued their anti-science, pro-economy, expendable humanity stance.

In a speech in London ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott (having been given permission to leave and return to Australia during the pandemic) said the economic cost of lockdowns meant families should

be allowed to consider letting elderly relatives with the coronavirus die. His Christian charity was obviously absent that day.

Meanwhile in England there is to be no smooth divorce from the European Economic Union. England spent most of 2020 careening towards a no-deal Brexit which would result in increased prices for imported goods and higher tariffs placed on English exports, making them less competitive.

What started with nationalist fervour and anti-immigration posturing has now consumed the better part of five years of political capital in the British Isles and taken down two prime ministers.

As a nation they have failed to deal effectively with the pandemic and it is unfathomable how Boris Johnson has survived politically,

can best decide who governs lowed to vote early.

Clear outcome on Election Night Is there some way of the system working more efficiently to facilitate a clearer result on election night?

In the NSW 2019 State election for the seat of Dubbo it was so close that no result was available on the night, scrutineers could predict the outcome by the following Monday afternoon but the official result took many days more.

In my view any declaration votes in outer envelopes should be opened and certified before 6pm on election night and the counting of the huge numbers of prepoll votes could commence from 4pm on election day afternoon in a lock down scenario.

Replace polling day with an Election Window or Voting Period Should there be a shift from pre-polling and an election day to an ‘election window’ or a ‘voting period’?

COVID-19 has caused many jurisdictions to reconsider their approach on this issue. In 2020 New Zealand allowed voters a choice

between a postal vote or ‘takeaway’ vote – where they pick up their ballot papers and take them away for themselves or on behalf of another person. Do we still need ‘an election day’?

Ditch the Media Blackout The current blackout rules were enacted in 1992, several years before internet access became commonplace.

The three day blackout on all electronic media for election advertising was designed to provide a cooling off period in the lead up to polling day during which television and radio were not able to broadcast political advertising.

But is it still relevant today? Is it fit for purpose going forward? Is it effective when so many people have already voted?

The blackout does not apply to online services such as social media platforms or the print media.

The report postulated two views – that the blackout laws are redundant and need to be done away with. Or, that the threat of disinformation campaigns is now so great, blackout laws need to be ex-

tended to all types of media.

In my view, probably the first option, as it would be nearly impossible to capture all communications medium in any preclusion period.

No skin in the game – stand further back from voting centres This is the most unusual recommendation in the report. The Committee has recommended that persons who do not represent a candidate but who do hand out vote-influencing material should be restricted to not being within 100 metres of a polling booth entrance.

The report refers to such groups as GetUp who allegedly engaged in text book American ‘bird dogging’, the badgering of candidates and the encouragement of activists to ‘hunt’ their opponents.

Other examples might include trade union members, the group called Anyone But Nats and other local single-issue activists.

Whilst I understand the sentiment, I’m not sure it’s a practical solution as many of these groups don’t hand out how-to-vote cards

prompting swift denunciation and stripping of honours for a whole division of elite soldiers. Yet the Federal Government continues its prosecution of whistle blower and ex-army officer David McBride, who went to the ABC after his calls for leadership to correct the toxic culture of the elite soldiers were ignored.

Over $3 million in taxpayer funded lawyer fees later, the government continues to pursue McBride in a usually closed court for the sake of the ‘national interest’.

When supporting Australians were hard hit by the economic effects of COVID-19, the government made a lot of noise about support for those who had lost their job and those on welfare. But behind the scenes the support was grudging because it’s just not in the Coalition’s DNA to ramp up welfare spending. Tax cuts for high earners and corporations were front and centre in the budget, but the reduction in funding to the Australian National Audit Office (who uncovered the rorting of sports grants to Coalition seats and the purchase of land in Western Sydney for 10 times its value to the benefit of numerous Coalition insiders) was hidden in the fine print.

And the government now wants Australians to have ‘timely access to credit’ to help the economy recover from the effects of COVID-19 by scrapping the responsible lending laws it agreed to in the wake of the Banking Royal Commission.

Given local and global events, it is not unreasonable to expect honesty, transparency and non-partisanship from our leaders and media What we received was the opposite. Rank ideology in the face of science, PR stunts, rallies and photo ops, and agenda-driven media who dismiss outright lies as mere falsehoods. It was wearisome to watch.

The solidarity, the compassion, the threads of humanity that buoyed us this year came from us – the public.

Our nurses and doctors, volunteer fire fighters, public servants, supermarket workers, teachers, ambulance drivers, our neighbours, our family and friends, who have all had to work doubly hard this year – Winners all.

let alone recovered from his actual bout of COVID. Of course, America with an anti-intellectual sociopath at the helm and a health system unfit for purpose, has suffered the full brunt of COVID-19. Divisions in the American population along political, wealth, race, education and religious lines have been widened by the virus. Homegrown right-wing extremism is now considered by US security agencies to be a greater threat on American soil than Islamic terrorism. It is a country of two conflicting peoples on the same soil.

In the Holy Land, under the cover of the American election and the rise in US COVID-19 deaths, Israel ignored its pledge to stop annexing land and stepped up its campaign of destroying Palestinian houses on the West Bank. It too is a country of two conflicting peoples on the same soil.

Australia ends 2020 in conflict with our largest trading partner – China.

Whilst it may be amusing to see the pro-globalisation/free market coalition suddenly advocating for homegrown manufacturing and import tariffs, a freeze on Chinese imports would be a lot more harmful to us than to China. Yes, China is an authoritarian country that deserves criticism, but a lack of nuanced communications by Ministers in our Government regarding the source of COVID-19 was never going to end well for our trade relationship.

The relationship further devolved when a cruel “artwork” by a pro-government Chinese artist depicted an Australian soldier holding a knife to the throat of an Afghan child. Re-tweeted by a top ranking Chinese official, an outraged PM jumped into a press conference with a strident denunciation of Cha’s behaviour. At the same time, a four-year enquiry into the conduct of the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) resulted in allegations of civilian murders z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, by elite Special Forces soldiers, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

or other material but engage in other less direct campaigning activities.

Want to Vote – Produce ID This is a no-brainer in my view.

Surely every voter should be able to prove who they are before they are given a ballot paper. The Committee recommends that voters must present a form of acceptable identification to be issued an ordinary pre-poll or election day vote.

Queensland introduced this provision in the 2015 Queensland State election and the effect of voter ID requirements on voter participation was negligible.

Four Year Terms for Federal Elections?

One of the reasons why voters don’t like elections is that they seem to come around all too quickly. This is especially so with Federal elections which can be as little as every two years and nine months.

In my view, terms of Federal elections should be four years.

The only question is should it be a fixed term (like the States) or non-fixed terms like the current arrangement Federally. I can’t see why it couldn’t be fixed four year terms which would then al-

low Senate terms to also be fixed at eight years.

Leave the Party – Leave the Race This recommendation is also one out of the box. The Committee recommends that an inquiry be held to determine the viability and ramifications of determining a seat to be declared vacant when the sitting MP resigns from or leaves the Party under which they were elected.

Conclusion There are no easy answers to some of the above questions and recommendations. The two dissenting reports are very worthy of close reading – Greens (10 pages) and Labor (9 pages). At the very least, there should be considered and respectful debate with community consultation before any changes are considered in Federal Parliament.

The report’s foreword finishes with – we sleep safely in our beds protected from the claws of the banality of evil because we decides who governs. The suggested reforms are about empowering further the voter. Governments in democracies should always be wary of the voter. Long may it be so.

Christmas cheer for the city’s most vulnerable

By JOHN RYAN LYNDAL Shanks is manager for the Mid-Western Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service Dubbo and she told Dubbo Photo News she was blown away by the generosity of so many people in the city.

In the space of just a few days the service was the recipient of two community donations, and she wanted the broader population to know about these acts of kindness.

“Housing Plus, Western Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service are ever so grateful for the hampers from St Vincent De Paul which we will distribute to families who have or are experiencing family and domestic violence,” Mrs Shanks said.

Also, through St Vincent De Paul, South Dubbo Rotary have been extremely generous donating gift vouchers to be used at many Dubbo businesses to the value of $2,500 to share amongst our clients.”

The organisation covers not just Dubbo but also Wellington, Narromine, Warren, Gilgandra, Coonamble, Coonabarabran, Mudgee, Goolma, Dunedoo, Gulgong and Rylstone, so it’s a massive area.

“These hampers will bring some relief to families struggling at this time of the year, we would also like to thank the community who donated items for these hampers and gift vouchers, without the community support we receive we couldn’t possibly help the families as we do,” she said.

Some of the team holding the gift vouchers kindly donated by South Dubbo Rotary.

Donation to help Dubbo’s Little Athletes Contributed by THE CLUB DUBBO Little Athletics Centre has been given a funding boost for its upcoming season thanks to a $2100 grant from Coles. The Little Athletics centre at Barden Park is one of 158 grassroots sports club across Australia.

The grant comes amid research from the Australian Sports Foundation in July which estimated that over 16,000 local sports clubs were at risk of closing due to reduced revenues and increased costs arising from

COVID-19.

Dubbo Little Athletics’ President Mick Gardiner said the grant to buy new iPads will help get its athletes and volunteers back on track after a tough year.

“The new iPads will have a huge impact on our centre.

They will help our club stay within the COVID-19 safety guidelines by limiting the use of pen and paper and allow volunteers to enter results immediately rather than leaving it to a single person to do at the end of the night,” he said.

Dubbo Photo News December 31, 2020-January 6, 2021

WORDS OF WISDOM Hela Bryan Is age just a number?

Yep, because I don’t feel old.

I’m 81 and I’m still full of life. I still play golf, bowl and table tennis. I never thought of age as getting old or not being able to do things. You’ve got to be positive and really active.

If you’re not active and sit in a chair, I mean life goes by, but you’ve missed it.

What about the world today doesn’t make sense?

The world today is a big change. COVID has absolutely killed the happy life. Now everybody has to think for themselves and how best to cope with it and a lot of people can’t do it.

In the good old world, we use to go to barbecues and kids would be in the back of the station wagon and they’d go to sleep in there. These things don’t exist anymore, life is so restricted now which to me, is a shame.

I was born in Germany but if you didn’t have a second language you had no chance in getting a decent job. After school I realised, I had to travel around. My first trip was to England. Then after England I thought there’s more to the world than that. So, I went to America and from there, I’ve been all over the place.

I was working in London and somebody said they were going to Australia and needed a secretary, so I said, “yeah I’ll come out”. I got back from England in January and in

June I landed in Australia. I arrived and I thought it was Christmas.

When I came to Australia, I met my husband, but we had to go back because he was in the British Army. We both decided to come back in 1974.

It was funny, when I came to Australia it was the one country that I said I will never leave because the weather is beautiful, and people are so friendly. You know, if you live in London you can drop dead on the street and everybody would just walk across you.

Whereas here you stop the car on the side of the road and another car will pull up and ask, “can I help you?”. It’s so much easy going, comforting and welcoming.

When I came out the first time you had to have English knowledge. Now people come out, stick to their own language and create friction. I think if I go to a country, I want to live the way they live. I don’t want to change it otherwise I could have stayed at home.

What was it like growing up in Germany?

The winter is very cold, and the rivers would all freeze so we would go ice-skating for hours. It was really good, you learnt to play a lot of games.

Television wasn’t around then so you did your own outdoor things.

I remember a friend of mine said they had roller skates.

I saved enough money and bought a pair. My mother was

working in those days and she came home and knew I had bought roller skates and skidded someone in the streets.

She said, “people told me you skated into them!”. I got into big trouble because I hadn’t told her I bought them.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I used to play a lot of tennis in Germany and I made the club champion there. I was 50 when I started playing golf so for me to still play, I’m very happy and it gives me satisfaction.

The best thing was meeting my husband. I was living in Manly and a friend of mine and my husband were stationed in Singapore with the British Army and this friend of mine rang up and said, “I’ve got a friend and he’s coming to Sydney; can you look after him?” I said, “yep that’ll be alright”. He came up in August and in December I went to Singapore and I wasn’t even out of the plane yet and he said, “will you marry me?” I said, “oh you’re joking.” I came back to Australia and I was very poorly. I had cancer and had a hysterectomy and I said, “marriage isn’t on the cards” and he said, “I don’t care what happened, I’ll stick to you”.

That was it and everything since then has been good.

I never had the attitude to say I don’t like it here I always thought what I can do next. If you’re negative everything is a misery.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Good to be Back

By KEN SMITH A CHANCE to perform in an outdoor garden setting.

Macquarie Conservatorium teamed up with Dubbo Uniting Church and made it happen recently.

A good crowd was in attendance, the music was excellent and the Uniting Church volunteers kept everyone well fed.

The weather would have been perfect except for the windy conditions, the evening finishing just before sunset, with the Macquarie Conservatorium conductor thanking and sharing with the crowd that the musicians really appreciated having someone to play for.

Well done to all involved.

Perhaps we will do it again soon.

Let there be LIGHT!

By KEN SMITH IT was beginning to look a lot like Christmas as the homes of Dubbo and surrounding towns rolled out the decorations for Christmas 2020.

Dubbo Photo News took a drive and here are some of the fantastic creations

that had popped up in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East.

The lights featured here can be found in Castlereagh Ave, Cudgegong Place, Sheraton Rd, Westminster Court and York Street Dubbo.

Maybe locals just really feel the need to bring some joy to this difficult year.

Well done to all the homeowners.

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.

Memorable Cups double for John O’Shea

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL BOXING Day means test cricket, the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, and the Dubbo Trots!

While the cricket ain’t quite gone to plan, and the yachts didn’t sail, JT O’Shea made it a day to remember winning both the Colleen O’Neill and Gerard Yeo Memorial Cups.

The crowd was swept up by the colourful six event

card and spent time reflecting on the vagaries of 2020 and their hopes for the New Year.

Pat Yeo, who managed the tote at Dubbo, Parkes and most of the western tracks, spoke of his son Gerard and the recognition awarded Karloo Bradley holds on to defeat Good Cop (Nathan Townsend) the family by naming a race in his honour.

Amanda O’Neill spoke of her pride in her late mum’s achievements in the sport when presenting the Cup to JT.
