By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY MONDAY, February 1, marks 140 years since the Dubbo Railway station and depot were officially opened.

It was an event that would transform the economic prosperity of the town, but as a facility it’s become a much scaled down version of it-

self after the phasing out of steam engines.

The replica pictured here is currently under construction at the Dubbo Model Railway Club facility where club members are recreating the entire station and depot area as it appeared in the 1950s to 1970s.

BRIDGE CONVOY Truckies to form protest convoy

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY A PROTEST convoy, in the vein of the famous US trucker movie of the same name, is set to highlight deficiencies in the state government’s proposed River Street Bridge project when it rolls into town next week on Wednesday, February 3.

Shadow regional transport minister David Harris, who called for all documents pertaining to the project be made public, and who accepted the

community petition against the River Street Bridge on behalf of state parliament last year, will man a truck in the convoy as it follows what he says is the community’s preferred route of a high-level ring road bridge at Troy Junction.

Mr Harris said he’ll be sending an invitation to Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders to join him in the convoy, along with local councillors and representatives from many transport industry groups.

Following this event Mr Harris will be conducting a consultation with transport industry representatives, local trucking companies and owner-operators concerning their perspectives on the River St Bridge versus Troy Bridge and Bypass option, as well as some broader issues including lack of rest areas on the Newell Highway, The petition against the River Street Bridge is scheduled to be debated in NSW parliament early this year.

David Harris MP inspected the Troy Bridge during a previous visit to Dubbo.

Mick becomes a man of letters

By GEOFF MANN MICK O’NEILL is in his own terms “an ordinary bloke” but to those who know him, he is an extraordinary man.

Michael O’Neill grew up in Gilgandra, played rugby league with the hometown Panthers before settling in at Dubbo CYMS. He was the hardest trainer, a player who went about his business without fanfare, just quietly getting the job done. If there was a hole to fill in defence, “Eagle” was there. He was a winger but would play hooker if his coach asked him.

It is not surprising then that this dedicated team player has been awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM).

The quietly spoken timber cutter, gardener and now turf farmer meets a lot of “regular people” in his daily life. He loves the outdoors, enjoys fishing and camping with his extended family and mates.

Mick is also a man who notices things. He has an eagle eye and when he saw what was happening to our rivers and waterways – dwindling fish numbers, unplanned and destructive clearing and gross pollution, he realised he needed to do something about it.

He started raising money at the Garden Hotel with the local fishing club so they could purchase fingerlings for Burrendong Dam but realised there was much more that needed to be done.

“If we don’t have a habitat then

no matter how many fishlings we release there will be nowhere for them to flourish and breed. We needed to look beneath the water,” Mick said.

With good friend Matt Hansen and others he set about putting in place programs.

‘We started with cleaning up the riverbanks and dredging the rivers. We developed plans with council and other similar thinking groups to insert natural habitats and we began to educate the community about what would happen if we didn’t make changes.”

Mick’s personal drive was to fill his small truck and trailer with 100 loads of rubbish in 12 months. He achieved this unannounced on his regular trips along the Newell and on other roads, collecting bottles, cans and other throwaways. In that year he actually took in more than 120 loads to the tip and paid for the disposal out of his own pocket.

Mick O’Neill deserves to be recognised for his vision, strength of character and life-changing efforts for the environment and for each of us.

“I was embarrassed when they contacted me about the award. I’m just a simple bloke who sees things that need to be done and gets in and does them. I am not alone. If it wasn’t for the others who share my passion this award would not be possible. I am accepting it for them and their work,’ he said with sincerity.

Mick O’Neill OAM – it has a beautiful ring.

Interim Council CEO to be appointed COUNCIL WATCH

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY DUBBO Regional Council will appoint an interim CEO effective from April 1, following the announcement last week by Council CEO Michael McMahon of his intention to retire.

The Acting CEO will oversee the day-to-day operations of Council up to, through and post the NSW Local Government elections in September this year.

The new Council will then go through the process of appointing a new CEO sometime after the 2021 elections.

Michael McMahon announced his retirement last week. He became CEO in 2018, after former general manager Mark Riley’s exit from the role.

“I made a deliberate choice to come to this fantastic region and take on the role of CEO to oversee record investment and growth in this part of NSW,” Mr McMahon said.

“This region was on the cusp of eye-watering record growth, investment and prosperity before the grip of a relentless drought, global economic downturn and COVID-19 pandemic.

“I genuinely believe this will all be a ‘bump’ in what will continue to be a great re-

cord-breaking journey for this region.”

Mr McMahon has spent 40 years working in local government holding various senior executive positions with North Sydney Council, Waverley Council where he became General Manager (the last Town Clerk), and then GM for Ryde, Canada Bay, Wagga Wagga, Burwood, before Dubbo.

At his Dubbo Regional Council post, Mr McMahon is most proud of the staff across Wellington and Dubbo and what they have achieved during a sustained period of change and challenge.

“These are local people pro-

viding critical services for local communities,” said Mr McMahon. “Families work in Council. The work we do is aimed at making the lives of individuals, businesses and families better – through new playgrounds, community facilities, new roads, social support services or delivering major events and tourism opportunities.

“At the end of the day, these Council services and projects can’t be delivered without good people behind them.

I am most proud of the good people Council has working for them.”

DUBBO RAILWAY 140 YEARS

Small scale rail

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WHILE it’s still a work in progress, the Dubbo Model Railway Club has made a great start on building a replica of the Dubbo Railway and depot, is it appeared in the 1960s to 1970s.

Included in the replica is the station building, an engine shed, wash bay, tracks, water tanks and other buildings.

“It’s an exact replica,” explained club member Tom Cooper. “It’s all been laser cut out from timber, then we’ve put it together and painted it.

“If you go down to the railway station it looks red, but that’s actually the red dust. The stonework is in fact white, so we’ve done it in heritage colours. Years ago, in the steam era it was a blacky-grey colour from all the steam.”

Some members are making some of the buildings from scratch themselves, however the station was created from a custom-made kit.

“We have a fellow who built the kit based on the dimensions we sent him along with many, many

photos,” club member Bob Eshman said.

Model dimensions are also governed by a strict scale.

“All of these buildings we’re trying to put on here are genuine.

I’m waiting on ARTC (Australian Rail Track Corporation), they’re going to induct two of us, take us down to the station with an escort and walk us along the track behind the rail motor shed, so we can go along and take photos, so when you’re looking at the actual replica, background views will be included,” Mr Eshman said.

“The scale – everything is built to is 1:87th, which is HO scale.

The first toy train that was built, was O scale, which is 7mm to the foot. Then someone came out with HO scale which is 3.5mm – half ‘O’.

“We just let members run whatever trains they want though.

We’ve got a lot of members who like to run American stuff. We’ve got a kid from Bourke who comes here every couple of weeks. He’s 8 or 9 now. He runs his big American stuff,” Mr Eshman said.

is open to the public on Friday nights and Saturday and Sunday afternoons, plus during the Regional Australia Bank Dubbo Show.

Keeps all us old blokes off the street,” he said.

Mr Eshman became a member after visiting the display during a Dubbo Show.

Dubbo Railway Model Club is one of the state’s oldest, celebrating 42 years this year. The facilities are one of the state’s largest with over 300 metres – or to scale, 15 kilometres – of track.

“I came here when one of the Shows were on and thought what’s this shed and loved it.

Memberships are available by calling Bob Ehsman on 0472 952 440.

JobSeeker cuts expected to plunge thousands into poverty THE Australian Council of Social Services and the Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) has called for a permanent and adequate rate increase to JobSeeker, Youth Allowance and other income supports to ensure recipients stay above the poverty line, ahead of the proposed reduction in JobSeeker and end to the Coronavirus Supplement, due at the end of March.

The JobSeeker rate is currently $51 per day and will reduce to $40 a day.

“Cutting the rate again will force people to make extremely difficult choices around where they spend their money. People shouldn’t be forced to choose between a meal and staying warm in a country as rich as Australia. Everybody deserves a fair and just life – a life with dignity,” BSL CEO Conny Lenneberg said.

December 2020 ABS data shows there are about 222,000 more unemployed people compared to before the pandemic in December 2019.

Relief for Kindy parents as COVID-safe rules ease

By LYDIA PEDRANA AS a new cohort of children prepare to take a milestone step into starting ‘big school’, their parents are grateful for the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Luckily, parents and carers of children starting Kindergarten, Year 1, 2 and 7 will be allowed to physically walk their kids onto school grounds on the first day of the school year.

Until last week, parents and careers had to bid farewell to their little ones outside of the school gates.

Local mother Kelly North has her daughter Scarlett, 4, starting Kindy at Dubbo North Public School this week.

Mrs North admits she would have felt as if she had missed out if she had to wave Scarlett off from outside the school premises.

“I would have been extremely disappointed if I was unable to walk her in,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

“That’s the biggest part of starting big school; the photo with the teacher in front of your new classroom.”

Similarly, Karen Stockings’ daughter Matilda, 5, is about to start her schooling life at Dubbo West Primary School.

Although Matilda thrived through her orientation day without Mum, again due to COVID restrictions, Mrs Stockings said she would have been upset not to properly witness her little girls’ first day at Kindy.

“I think it is important for parents to be reassured that their

2021 kindergarten starters, Simon Fenton, Scarlett North and Matilda Stockings, are thrilled their parents can walk them through the school gates on day one. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ KEN SMITH.

child is in a supportive and safe environment and have a picture in their head of what their teacher looks like and the classroom and surrounds,” Mrs Stockings said.

“I’m not sure about whether we will be able to go to assemblies which will be very sad, especially if Matilda’s class is doing an item and I can’t go I’ll be pretty devastated.”

According to the NSW Government website, school performances, productions, plays and concerts can continue but they must comply with the NSW Education Department and NSW Health COVID safe guidelines.

This includes ensuring all attendees are well and free of flulike symptoms, limited guest numbers based on the two square metre rule, which takes into account all staff, students and visitors, and seating arrangements that allow for 1.5 metres of physical distancing between

non-household members.

Remaining respectful of the COVID safe limitations, there is some frustration among local parents given Dubbo’s location and lack of cases.

“While I understand the whys and wherefores of having restrictions, I think it’s a bit unfair how they’ve blanketed the whole state with these restrictions when it’s just parts of Sydney that have been affected more recently,” Mrs Stockings explained.

“The central west hasn’t had an active case since about August last year.”

Meanwhile, there is also some anxiety surrounding the close contact of children in classrooms.

Melissa Fenton’s twin boys, Simon and Peter, 6, are starting Kindergarten at Dubbo Public School this year and she holds concerns about others who may have visited affected areas.

“I would have liked it (COVID-19) to be a distant memory be-

cause now we have all this worry of them coming into contact with families coming back from holidays,” Mrs Fenton said.

“We don’t know where they have been or who they have been in contact with.”

In line with the updated COVID safe school guidelines, parents and carers of those in years other than Kindergarten, Year 1, 2 and 7 are not permitted on school grounds unless the visit is for specified reasons such as volunteering at the school canteen or visiting the uniform shop.

While on school grounds, parents, staff and students are not required to wear face masks, however those who choose to wear a mask, will be permitted.

More information about the current guidelines is available online at education.nsw.gov.au.

Dubbo Photo News wishes all local school kids a wonderful year and reminds the parents of Kindy kids to take a box of tissues!

Correction IN a story on page 22, of the December 24 edition of Dubbo Photo News in a story by Natalie Lewis called ‘Government needs to intervene in doctor crisis, mayor says”, a comment was incorrectly attributed to Mayor Ben Shields in regard to Wellington’s doctor shortage.

It was Wellington Health Council member Peter Barton who said, “I think it will be a locum fix.”

Dubbo Photo News January 28-February 3, 2021 EDUCATION

Incoming St Johns College principal Nicole Morton, studying last year’s college magazine, says it’s vital that staff get to know and understand all the students entrusted into their care.

Caring communities, caring for kids

By JOHN RYAN NICOLE Morton was born in Goulburn and grew up in Batlow, so she considers herself very much a country girl.

As the incoming principal at Dubbo’s St Johns College, she says getting used to the heat in the central west compared to the mountains and slopes may be her first major challenge.

Although she attended boarding school in Sydney for a short while she finished her secondary education back home at Batlow Technology High School.

“So, I’m well aware of how important it is when you have great teachers that inspire you in regional communities and I was really fortunate to have an amazing group of teachers,” Mrs Morton told Dubbo Photo News.

“I went to uni at Charles Sturt University (CSU), spent a little bit of time at the Australian National University (ANU) as well and I finished my master’s with the Australian Catholic University about six years ago, so I’ve spent a bit of time in different tertiary institutions.”

She said it was a great grounding to get different insights and outlooks from a variety of universities.

“I think it’s invaluable and my greatest admiration and respect is for Charles Sturt University, as a regional university I find them aware of the audience that they tend to attract, the majority of whom are country kids,” she said.

“The way that they work with people, the way that they treat people as opposed to students just be-

ing a number.

“I’ve got 23-year-old twin boys and one of them went to ANU and one of them went to CSU in Albury and it was just chalk and cheese, we kind of just dropped off at ANU, we didn’t meet anyone, there were no parent information sessions and there were 900 kids in his course.

“We went to Charles Sturt and they had a parent information session, they had a barbeque set up for us, they gave us contacts for people, so it was a really stark difference and for me, that’s the country aspect, that they really understand people and genuinely care about people’s success.”

Mrs Morton wants to see that sort of culture where the students and their families are put front and centre at St Johns College.

“I’m really conscious that parents entrust their child’s wellbeing and education in our hands and it’s a responsibility we take extremely seriously – parents have got choice where they want to send their kids and we want them coming to St Johns because this is the best choice for their child,” she said.

“We grow students in their faith and in their spirituality, we provide opportunities for them to engage in social justice so that they live their faith in action, and they can become active citizens in the world because of this.

“That they have academic opportunities and where the kids want to explore a tertiary pathway, a VET (Vocational Education and Training) pathway, an apprenticeship or go on gap years, we want to pro-

vide our students with every opportunity to explore those options for them and for me, I say to every student, ‘you’ve got to give us your best’.”

She says that first and foremost the duty of college staff is to get to know their students, to know how they learn, where their challenges lie and then provide them with the opportunities to build and grow from Year 7 right through until the end of Year 12 Mrs Morton has spent the past six years at Albury’s Xavier High, and she was mandated with the task of growing the teaching and learning culture at the school.

She said there was some cultural challenges and much of her role was supporting that change in culture not only in the existing teaching practises but also in the way in which staff interacted with other staff members and the way in which staff interacted with students and their parents.

“Strategically we had a very targeted program which we called “Towards 2020”, the leadership team worked with the whole staff in a very collaborative fashion to identify strengths and weaknesses based on a tool called the National Schools Improvement Tool,” she said.

“I was pretty excited that every year we saw some exponential growth and then last year, 2020, we actually had our best HSC results ever, topped the diocese and we had a number of distinguished achievers across the largest number of subjects.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

“In terms of student satisfaction and parental satisfaction, it was at an all-time high, so it’s not all about the HSC but we met about 85 per cent of the targets we’d set across the school in academia and wellbeing and it was a really positive outcome and a really nice opportunity for me to leave at that point knowing I’d achieved the targets I’d set for myself to help grow that community Moving to a new city and school has required plenty of research about the history of the college and discussions with the school community.

“I think St Johns College is a wonderful school community, it has got a very proud tradition I’m aware of from an academic point of view, a sporting point of view and a community point of view and it’s something we want to continue to grow here,” she said.

“The other area I’m really keen to work on is actually building community engagement, continuing to develop and increase the relationships with our families – it’s through partnership with our parents that we make a difference with every student that comes in through these doors and some-

times that’s really hard in a secondary school, it’s much easier to get parents involved in primary school situations but it’s something I think’s really important for us to have success for every kid who walks through the door.”

Mrs Morton is a firm believer in open and transparent collaboration rather than everyone working in their own narrow patch without regard to the bigger picture.

“Schools, communities, businesses, don’t exist these days with one person running the show and everybody else just living in their own worlds, we’ve got to do this together,” she said.

“It’s a massive job that we’ve got ahead of us to make sure that every student in our school has a champion and that every kid in our school has the opportunity to grow and to become the best version of themselves and it takes a team to achieve that.

“There’s that old African saying that it takes a village to raise a child, well it takes a village, our village here, to be working collaboratively to bring about the dreams and hopes that every parent and every child has when they walk into a school community.”

DUBBO RAILWAY 140 YEARS

Full steam ahead

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY IF you’re old enough to remember lying in bed at night in Dubbo listening to the constant sounds of trains being shunted at the railway station, well... meet the drivers.

“I hope I didn’t keep you awake!” former steam train fireman and driver, Percy Suckling said.

Graham Phipps and Percy Suckling lived, worked and witnessed the end of the steam era at Dubbo Railway, including working the last steam engine in service in NSW, based in Dubbo (the Garrett, 6040), plus the day the last steam engine left town in July 1972.

“The bulk of steam left in 1967.

In May 1972, we lost our last one which was 3102. That engine’s now in the Canberra museum,” Mr Suckling said.

Both men started young on the railway following in a family tradition, which was once very common.

“There were hundreds of people working on the railway at Dubbo, not just in loco, but on the station and the fettlers,” Mr Suckling said.

“My grandfather was a driver in Goulburn. He started in 1913. My brother was on the railway for 11 years. I started in December 1963 as a junior then when I turned 16, I became a trainee engineman, then I went to a safe working school, then went out on the road

firing steam locos. Then I got my fireman’s appointment.”

Mr Phipps’ father, uncle and cousins were all drivers, his grandfather had a job on the railways and his brother worked in a rail office.

“I started out as a call boy, cleaner and fire lighter, then I went to Newcastle for my fire appointment. I worked on a coal road until 1972. I was transferred to Dubbo in 1975. We were Class 3, like an acting driver.”

Steam engines dominated Dubbo Railway for just under 100 years, along with two, long gone features on the landscape, an elevated sand box and coal box.

The trains would fuel up under the coal box which dropped quantities of coal directly onto the train for firemen like Mr Phipps and Mr Suckling to work with.

“In a 24-hour period you could be shovelling coal for a couple of hundred miles, going out to somewhere like Nyngan and back. Going around to Orange the grades are a lot steeper. You earned your money going around there,” he said.

The elevated sand box dropped quantities of sand into the train too.

“You use sand on the engines.

When the wheels slip you push a lever down and air blows down onto the track and takes the sand

with it, so your wheels grip,” Mr Suckling said.

“When you get a cross wind though you have a bit of trouble,” Mr Phipps laughed.

Though working side by side for decades, they only once drove and fired a train together until long after steam had disappeared and become a novelty.

“Up to 1990 Percy and I used to do all the steam trains that came to Dubbo. If a tour came here, we did it. In 1988 Bob Hawke sent steam trains all around the country for the Bicentenary for exam-

ple,” Mr Phipps said.

The pair also organised a Dubbo Railway Centenary celebration in 1981, holding celebrations on the platform, offering steam train joy rides, a street parade and even a ball. There’s a very good chance however, the whole exercise was really so they could officially ar-

range a steam train to come to town.

“To be in a depot full of steam engines and all the smoke and the smell... once it’s in your blood, you can’t get it out. Not that I want to,” Mr Suckling said.

“That smell... its fantastic,” Mr Phipps said.

Blast from the past

RETIRED steam train fireman and driver Percy Suckling surprised this journalist during an interview to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the Dubbo Railway, when he recalled an Easter long weekend the famous Locomotive 3801 was in Dubbo.

It was also the weekend of my wedding and the day after that, though a honeymoon called, there was still time for a few of the family to jump in the car, along with half the town, and race it to Geurie, where it briefly stopped.

The train driver blew the

whistle and the effect it had on my nephew, who was about three at the time, has become family story often recalled, because he howled so intensely with the fright of it, we had to leave.

“When was that?” Mr Suckling asked.

“The day after my wedding, so the fourth of April,” I replied.

Mr Suckling disappeared for a moment and returned with a logbook kept from his many years as a driver and began flicking the pages to an entry dated April 4, 1994.

“Yes, that was me,” he said.

“You were driving the train that day?” I asked, surprised by

the coincidence.

“There it is,” he said, “it’s written there.”

It wasn’t the first time he’d been in charge of the 3801, having previously driven it 1989 while it was “double heading” with the Flying Scotsman’s during its yearlong visit to Australia that included a stop off in Dubbo.

Right: Retired Dubbo steam train fireman and driver Percy Suckling was driving the Locomotive 3801 to Geurie on the same day the train became one of this journalist’s funny family memories.

STARTING from Friday, January 22, nuclear weapons were officially made unlawful thanks to a landmark United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons coming into force. It is the first ever global ban on nuclear weapons.

Eighty-six states have signed the treaty in endorsement, over 50 states have ratified and committed to the treaty, except Australia.

Ratifying the treaty comes with an obligation to assist people, land, water and wildlife affected by nuclear weapons use or testing.

Australia allowed nuclear weapons testing in South Australia at Maralinga and Emu Field, and Western Australia at Montebello Islands.

TOURISM BOOM

COUNCIL WATCH

Region a popular choice among holidaymakers

By LYDIA PEDRANA NO, you are not imagining the extra traffic in town!

Tourism records in the region were broken these last school holidays with more people choosing Dubbo as their destination.

According to the Dubbo Regional Council’s Tourism Market Report, occupancy across the Local Government Area (LGA) hit 79.2 per cent in December 2020, up 36.1 per cent on the previous year.

Meanwhile, sales of the Great Big Adventure Pass were up more than 125 per cent compared to last Christmas holidays along with accommodation and tourism providers boasting record seasons.

Mayor Ben Shields said COVID-19 travel restrictions and strategic marketing initiatives are behind the regions’ growing popularity.

“We’re so pleased that the message is getting out there that the Dubbo Region is a great place to visit, especially if you have a family,” he said.

In December, 5,130 people walked through the Old Dubbo Gaol gates, up 105 per cent on the same period last year, meanwhile the Wellington Caves had 3,138 visitors, a 51 per cent increase on December 2019.

Owner of Endeavour Court Motor Inn, Tony Craven, has also reaped the rewards of increased regional travel throughout December and January after

a tough period during the depths of the pandemic last year.

“We’ve done very well, we are sort of (operating) at 96 per cent (capacity) with a lot of tourists and slowly but surely the businesspeople are starting to come back,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

“Back in March and April it was dreadful, we were down 85 to 90 per cent, so it was a dreadful time, but we continued to trade right through and with the help of Jobkeeper and some of the grants that the state and federal government were offering, helped us get through those couple of months.

“December 2020 was in fact better than the last three years, so that was good, we had a lot of families come through.”

Similarly, the Taronga Western Plains Zoo (TWPZ) recorded its best ever December with “exceptional visitation” between Christmas and New Year.

TWPZ director Steve Hinks said the strong visitation numbers have continued into Dubbo reaps the rewards of regional travJanuary, which had already els with record-breaking visitation numhit a record result for the bers.

“We are seeing a lot of people “Across the school holiday period we have welcomed just un- visiting from other regional and der 40,000 guests through our coastal areas in NSW as well as gates and still have the Australia Sydney as there has been a strong Day long weekend to come,” Mr drive to visit regionally in NSW

due to uncertainty around borders.

“It is really positive to see people exploring all the amazing places we have to offer in regional NSW.” The zoo’s accommodation offerings have also been fully booked, despite some cancellations due to state border closures and lockdowns.

The average stay for guests at the Savannah Cabins is 2.4 nights, which is above the region’s average of two nights.

These record-breaking results are particularly pleasing for TWPZ after being forced to close for several months last year.

“When we reopened on 1 June 2020, we had hoped that there was going to be a regional tourism boom with numerous state borders closed and no international travel available,” Mr Hinks explained.

“It has been really pleasing to see this hope become a reality and we are hopeful that it will continue well into 2021.

“Tourism contributes over $300 million to the local economy and this doesn’t just benefit tourist attractions like the Zoo, the flow on effect sees money being spent in pubs, cafes and in local shops.

“It is such a great boost to our regional communities that have done it really tough over the past three years with the impacts of drought and COVID-19.”

Rates harmonisation given green light this week by council DUBBO and Wellington councils were amalgamated in 2016 by the NSW Government and Dubbo Regional Council is now required to harmonise rates across the LGA by the next financial year.

A rates harmonisation reference group will be established to help guide Council when deciding how to modify the rates structure and apportion rates across all categories.

Council have agreed to apply to the Minister for Local Government to set minimum ordinary rates in the 2021/2022 Dubbo Regional Council rating structure.

The rate of $715.70 would apply for residential urban, business ordinary, CBD, Wellington, East Dubbo, Cobra Street and Wellington Road. The rate of $699.60 would apply to residential Firgrove and Richmond.

Council noted the proposed minimum ordinary rates are consistent with those applicable to the currently applicable minimum rates for the former Dubbo City Council.

Caravans and camping top choice for travelling Aussies, but industry still at risk

By LYDIA PEDRANA

Caravan Industry Association of Australia boss warns the industry is still fragile.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

CARAVAN and camping holidays made up 44 per cent of all holiday nights across Australia in the September 2020 quarter according to new data from Tourism Research Australia.

Although this was a 28 per cent decline on 2019 figures, it was the front runner among broader tourism numbers.

Despite performing well considering the circumstances, Caravan Industry Association of Australia CEO, Stuart Lamont, said the industry is still fragile.

“We live in a world of fragile consumer confidence at present creating a two-speed economy,” Mr Lamont said.

“Whilst it is important that

governments make health the first priority for Australians, concerns remain for those operators and communities in border towns, transit regions and remote locations that are continuing to feel the financial pain of border closures and are not enjoying the spoils of Australia’s fascination with the caravan and camping lifestyle.

“With the everchanging environment of border closures, the devastating and long-lasting impacts of last season’s bushfires, and challenges with accessing insurance, many businesses still face the real prospect of closure.”

Highlighting the importance of caravan and camping in driving the recovery of the

visitor economy off the back of the pandemic, Mr Lamont also urged the Federal Government to continue supporting camping and caravan park operators as current prop-up schemes near expiry.

“We call on government to look at other support programs as Jobkeeper comes to an end in March, such as concessional funding for tourism operators that is paid back once a return to profit occurs coupled with increased access to business advisory services to help operators pivot to new opportunities and manage cashflow, as well as personal tax deductions for domestic holiday travel to encourage increase demand in support of these struggling businesses.”

IT’S A RECORD! A rhino iguana living at Australia Zoo in Queensland has reached the remarkable age of 40 years 278 days (as of November 27, 2020), making him the oldest living rhino iguana in captivity. Owned by the Irwin family, Australia Zoo celebrated the achievement of the aptly named Rhino (b. February 23, 1980) with a certificate presentation in his enclosure. Rhino was born at Taronga Zoo in Sydney before being transferred to Australia Zoo in November 1993. This almost doubles the age of the previous greatest lifespan on record.

CRANES EXPLAINED

A career sky high

By JOHN RYAN

Jason Mawbey says he loves the fact that every working day for him is different. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

JASON Mawbey has been around cranes from his earliest memories.

His dad Eric “Chook” Mawbey founded Mid-State Cranes years ago and while other kids were playing with Lego and Tonka Toys, his boys were pretty much living the real thing.

“I’m 28 and I’ve been in and out of cranes since I’ve been able to walk, basically and I’ve been licenced since I was 19,” he said.

“Being around cranes my whole life I’ve been learning how they work since that young age so coming into when I was older meant I knew my way around the industry before I even got my license, so that was a big winner.”

In effect, he served a 15-year practical apprenticeship of on-thejob training and said that substantial grounding meant he was far better versed in operating cranes than if he’d never been exposed to them and instead completed a five day course.

“Confidence-wise it was great, I knew all the books and manuals, I knew all the theory behind the job, I knew all the aspects of operating cranes before I got into the job and just being around cranes and being aware of what can go wrong, witnessing how to do complex lifts, it was great,” he said.

When he was growing up, anytime there was an incident involving a crane anywhere in Australia, that was the topic of conversation around the Mawbey’s dinner table.

“That all percolated straight through to me and I do research on how accidents happen, look at what actually happened in that incident so I can make sure I don’t make those mistakes, make sure I’m aware of those situations,” he said.

“Safety is the biggest aspect on jobs, if it’s unsafe you normally

don’t do it, you do things to what the crane can handle, what it has the capacity to do.”

Checking out the job site, what needs to be lifted, what hazards such as power lines may be in the vicinity, working out what boom lengths are required and what chains or slings are best suited – Mr Mawbey says the pre-lift checklist needs to be extensive, thorough and not rushed.

“Some jobs you’ll have to fly by the seat of your pants, say if a storm knocks a tree down onto a road and it has to be removed quickly, you can’t really plan for that two weeks in advance, so everything has to be worked out at the time,” he said.

“Some people may describe a job to you, so you take out the crane best suited to that task and when you arrive you think, oh well, that’s not going to work.”

He said he loves the diversity of the job and with five cranes with different capabilities and lifting capacities, there’s never a dull moment.

He also loves the technical advances the industry has seen in the past decade where cranes have become sophisticated with inbuilt computers to help manage complex jobs, operators now able to work out far more accurately what they need to do and how to do it.

“It used to be that you’d read a manual and it would tell you that you could lift this much weight a certain way before the crane falls over, now we’re at the stage where you can’t go past 80 per cent of capacity without bells and alarms ringing,” he said.

“You can hop on the computer now, type in what you want to do, where you want to work, draw it out, sketch it and punch in what the load chart is and video record that and send it to the client before you even go to the jobsite, so you can make sure the crane will be well within its limits and make sure it’s going to be safe.”

CULTURE CLUB

Finding the right fit for the gig

By LYDIA PEDRANA AS the region continues to buck the national trend and record an unemployment rate of below three per cent, hiring the right candidate for the job has never been more important.

As the new year begins, a local recruitment agency is reminding employers to strike a balance when it comes to hiring a ‘good cultural fit’.

Senior recruiter Melinda Barton from Spinifex Recruiting Dubbo said the first step for employers is to avoid personal bias.

“Don’t fall into the trap of seeking a connection with the candidate that gives you short-

term comfort,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

“In other words, don’t mistake alignment between the candidate and yourself as alignment between the candidate and your organisation.

“Instead look for values that align with your organisation’s culture.”

To translate your deep understanding of the company’s values into the recruitment process, Ms Barton suggests asking questions such as: z Name three things you like most about our organisation. z Describe the work environment you are most productive and happy in?

z What are the characteristics of the best boss you have worked for and how would you describe their management style? z What do you expect of your manager supervisor?

However, putting too much emphasis on workplace culture fit can stifle diversity, Ms Barton warned.

“In some cases, it can cause managers to overlook promising candidates with unique perspectives,” she explained.

“As with all things, it’s about balance, and understanding the difference between a person’s unique skills, experience and perspectives that drive crea-

tive thinking, innovation and adaptability.

“Remember, we can adhere to an organisation’s values and still think differently.”

When it comes to job opportunities, certain sectors have more openings than others at the moment.

According to Ms Barton, of the opportunities that Spinifex are seeing, most are sitting in government and administration, construction and trades and mining and energy sectors, while engineering, production and manufacturing, and accounting and finance industries are also advertising job openings, but to a lesser degree.

The tech advantage

By NATALIE LEWIS PEACOCKE Accountants director John Curley loves technology so much that he doesn’t even carry a wallet.

“I do like technology,” he said.

“I have face recognition on my phone and computer, it’s very secure for logging and very sophisticated. My phone is more secure than my cards. I have not carried money in a wallet for 12 months.”

Mr Curley has been in the profession for 20 years and is always looking at new ways to help his clients, particularly where embracing technology is concerned.

“We started to transition to the cloud in 2013,” he explained.

“We started looking at being as paperless as possible with a fully integrated electronic document management system.”

Describing the firm’s transition

to cloud-based accounting software, Mr Curley said it was ‘the way to go’ to meet the needs of his clients.

“As Xero came along promoting the cloud, another accountant convinced me to seriously look at it. MYOB was a good system but it required a VPN (virtual private network) to the server. Xero is a true cloud system and we no longer have a server system.”

Mr Curley discovered the true merits of working in the cloud when he was holidaying in Scandinavia.

“It showed me how versatile it was when I was in Iceland and received a call from a client. I was on a bus and was able to do what the client needed then and there on an iPad. “It brought to me how convenient it was to work anywhere, anytime and on any device as long as you have use of the internet.

Providing high tech solutions without high prices, Mr Curley believes Xero offers a range of solutions for his clients.

“Many of my clients love the freedom of being able to work remotely, it’s fantastic for the iPad or phone. Clients can do a month-end reconciliation while they are sitting at the school bus stop.”

Mr Curley explained that Peacocke Accountants uses multiple cloud systems.

“We use document management systems and optical character recognition. Invoices can be automated, imported into the system and coded automatically and transferred as a bill with no typing.”

Mr Curley said the advantage of these systems is the benefit of time and flexibility.

“We are not constrained because our systems are,” he said.

“Many of these systems can talk to one another, they are very sophisticated.

“These systems reduce errors and the drudges of data input. During lockdown, it was just as easy to be at home than in the office.”

Mr Curley’s team use a range of applications such as FYI Docs, Deputy, Figured, Xero and Hubdoc. He is always on the lookout for new programs that will make life easier.

“I’m always looking for something that will save time or be quicker, technology makes life easier.”

CELEBRATING AUSTRALIA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Dubbo’s Muslim community gather to celebrate homeland

By LYDIA PEDRANA

MUSLIM communities across the country celebrated Australia Day in various ways on Tuesday.

Locally, members of the New South Wales Central West Muslims Association (NSWCWMA) were encouraged to meet and greet one another at the Dubbo Mosque and congratulate those who had become new citizens of Australia.

Imam of Dubbo Mosque and President of NSWCWMA, Mahmoud Amin, said for his community, it is important to show gratitude to the country and its people on Australia Day. “Australia is our homeland,” Mr Amin told Dubbo Photo News.

“Love and loyalty to our county is part of our faith.

“In our community there are many people who come from various nationalities and now call Australia home.

“We will always be grateful to Australia and its people that have provided safety, security and freedom which their countries have failed to provide.”

Mr Amin said his commu-

nity also acknowledges the First Nations people as being Traditional Owners of the land.

“We pay our respect to the Wiradjuri Elders, traditional custodians of the Lands Upon which we live, work and to Allah is our Worship” Meanwhile, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community held more formal ceremonial events in its Mosques.

National President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Australia, Imam. I.H. Kauser said the community came together to pay respect, hoist the Australian flag and sing the national anthem.

Following that, there were short thanksgiving speeches by community members before invited dignitaries shared their thoughts on what it means to be an Australian.

“We, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, always pray for the progress and development of our homeland, Australia,” Mr Krauser said.

“We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our nation, government and people because our religion teaches us that love of country of residence is part of faith.”

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Ram raid at Victoria Street business THIEVES who stole a Toyota Prado on Sunday night used it to smash into Grandeys Bike Bitz on Victoria Street in a ram raid.

It’s pretty disheartening to work hard to build up a business only to have that happen to you.

It’s also incredibly disappointing to work hard all your life to buy a nice car like a Prado only to have some lowlife scum feel they have every right to steal it and smash it.

If anyone has information on the theft or the ram raid, please get in touch with the police.

Risky short cut closed on Old Mendooran Rd IT’S great news that the ‘shortcut’ which links the Golden Highway to the Old Mendooran Road is to be closed off.

As a Dubbo councillor I voted this week for that to happen because it creates such a dangerous intersection where it meets Burroway Road, and there have been fatal crashes there in recent times and a swag of near misses as people pull out onto Burroway Road.

As part of the works, where the Old Mendooran Road intersects Burroway Road from the north, that new T-Intersection will be realigned so it’s far safer as well.

It’s not often local residents want shortcuts to be axed, but in this case it seems the locals are well and truly in favour of it.

Junkie’s junk: Time to get tough on dangerous litter JOHN Ting was understandably upset when he found a carelessly discarded syringe out the front of a couple of shops, including a takeaway food place.

A scooter similar to the one that was cruelly stolen from an 11-year-old on Hillcrest Place.

“There are kids that come into the shop, and next door at the takeaway, (so the syringe dumpers should) have some decency to at least put it in the bin where kids can’t touch it,” Mr Ting said.

“Parents, make sure you educate your kids on not to touch this ‘stuff’,” he urged.

Mr Ting safely disposed of the deadly needle – well done, but these syringes shouldn’t be left around in the first place, forcing good people to have to clean them up.

Man charged with murder at Forbes

SOME crimes just seem to shock more than others and, by all accounts, the alleged murder of a man in Forbes on the weekend was pretty horrific.

Police say they were alerted to an incident where a man was seen allegedly assaulting another man, the victim lying on the ground of Johnson Street at about 4am on Saturday, January 23.

Officers attended and commenced CPR before NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived, however efforts to revive the man failed and he died at the scene.

A crime scene was established and local detectives, assisted by the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad, began an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.

Following inquiries, police arrested a 30-year old man at a home on Farnell Street, Forbes, about 8.45pm.

He was taken to Parkes Police Station where he was charged with murder. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

The crooks were game, apparently, as they allegedly tried to use a credit card that was in the car at a couple of local servos.

Hopefully that will enable police to track their identities via CCTV vision that should be in the cameras at the service stations.

Aaron told Dubbo Photo News the car keys are still in his possession, which means the thieves must know how to hotwire a vehicle.

Police say entry was forced to the shed and the following property stolen: z 1x Husqvarna 460 chainsaw – worth $1500 z 1x Makita DTW1002Z – 1/2 impact driver – 18v – serial number 16389E z 1x Makita 18V brushless 4-stage impact driver skin z 2x 1.5 Ah Makita 18v batteries z 1x Makita 18v charger 240v z 2x Welding masks – Metalcorp – black mask z Red flecked mask – unknown pro brand If anyone can assist police in relation to this crime, please contact the Rural Crime Investigators at Dubbo Police Station on (02) 6883 1647, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au.

If information from the public leads to even one of these items being found, that could potentially provide the clues police need to track down not only the people who stole the goods in the first place, but also the swine who deal in stolen property.

IN BRIEF

Forum reveals crushing economic inequality in Australia AUSTRALIA’S 31 billionaires have seen their fortunes increase since the global COVID-19 pandemic was declared by enough to give the 2.5 million poorest Australians a one-off payment of just over $33,300 each, Oxfam has revealed on the opening day of the World Economic Forum’s Davos Agenda meetings.

Four Australian economists who took part in the survey agreed the coronavirus crisis would produce the sharpest increase in inequality in at least 50 years, and that the widening gap would impact women and ethnic minorities most.

All four experts believed Government didn’t have an adequate plan in place to address the issue.

“While the Government should be congratulated for acting quickly to implement wage subsidies and other social protection measures last year, the inappropriate and unfair reversal of the increase to JobSeeker payments is a cruel blow to the poorest Australians and, according to unions, has left 1.4 million people living on as little as $51 a day,” Ms Morgain said.

DUBBO RAILWAY 140 YEARS

Dubbo Railway Station turns 140

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY BEFORE air travel, it was hailed as one of the most significant developments for Dubbo.

On Tuesday, February 1, 1881 – 140 years ago – the Dubbo Railway Station was officially opened by five times NSW Premier, Member for Mudgee and renowned land reformist, Sir John Robertson.

Surveyors were in the area in 1875 and the Dubbo Railway League was formed for the task of petitioning parliament to ensure Dubbo would be included in any extension of the railway. In the early days however, they were described in the media as ‘not working as energetically as one would expect from prominent members of so thriving a township’.

Eventually stirred into action Dubbo was included and the Department of Public Works Railway Branch announced in 1877 that William Watkins was the successful tenderer to build the line.

“Mr Watkins, the successful tenderer for the Dubbo Railway, does not intend to allow the grass to grow under his feet. He intends to at once put 3000 men on the works, and operations commenced on Monday last at Stoney Creek. The heaviest works are about there,” the Wagga Wagga Advertiser reported in August, the same year.

Twelve days after the event, the Town and Country Journal published sketches capturing the occasion and its official events including a free lunch marquee.

The Sydney Morning Herald also reported the event describing a great crowd at the station,

which received the party with cheers.

“Sir John Robertson formally declared the railway open, drew attention to the progress of railway extensions during the past five years, and stated that ‘the profit of our lines last year was

1 per cent more than that of the previous year’... the school children sang the National Anthem, and cheers were given for the Queen [Victoria], the Ministers, and the Mayor. The proceedings terminated with a banquet in the Masonic Hall.”

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT ONLINE APPOINTMENTS Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has recently launched its new online appointments service, which allows members of the community to book a meeting with a member of staff through an online portal. These appointments include Justice of the Peace services, as well as Duty Planners, and Duty Builders. Book easily, by visiting DRC’s website.

SMART WATER METERS The rollout of the Smart Water Meters for the Dubbo Region has recommenced, with local contractors Inland Plumbing and Gas engaged to help complete the install after it was delayed due to COVID-19. For an update on when the meter will be installed at your place, visit Council’s website.

SMART CITIES STRATEGY SOUTH BRIDGE CONCEPTS DRC is currently calling for feedback from the community to help develop its Smart City Strategy – ensuring the Dubbo Region is keeping up-to-date with evolving technology and smart infrastructure that can meet the current and long-term requirements of the community. A background paper and survey are available in the Public Exhibition section of the website until 21 February, 2021.

Four options are currently available for the public to provide feedback for the South Dubbo Bridge concepts.

The concepts are on display with the Dubbo Transportation Strategy, which involves an analysis of transport infrastructure which is generally based on a detailed, 10 year plan.

LIFELINE

Showing care and concern 24/7

By NATALIE LEWIS AN additional lifeline is available to the people of Wellington during a time of great need, thanks to a local crisis support service.

Lifeline has been providing community assistance to the township for those who may find themselves struggling with the impact of recent tragic events.

Lifeline Dubbo and Western Districts manager Cate Whiteley told Dubbo Photo News the service has been reaching out to individuals, service providers and business owners within the community, all of whom have been either directly or indirectly impacted.

“A number of recent traumatic incidents have affected many in the community in a variety of ways.” Ms Whiteley said.

Lifeline is offering support to anyone affected by these circum-

stances including friends, relatives, neighbours, first responders, service providers, schools and business owners.

“We are trying to link people to services that they may not have felt they needed previously.

There are so many great services offered locally and our role has been to provide a point of connection for those who may otherwise potentially fall through the cracks.”

Ms Whiteley pointed out that emergency service employees often have fast access to internal support services but other first responders such as neighbours and witnesses may require alternate links to assistance.

“We’ve been checking in to see what people may need and putting individuals in touch with specialist providers such as grief counsellors and mental health support services where appli-

cable. We try to ensure first responders have someone to speak to whether face to face or on the phone and that those looking for assistance in the weeks and months following a traumatic incident are hooked into an appropriate service.”

Ms Whiteley said that trauma can affect us all differently but may result in uncharacteristic behaviour and changes in mood or habits.

“If somebody is concerned about a friend, loved one or colleague, they can ring the crisis support line to get assistance and to be referred to the right services. In some circumstances, it can be helpful to stay with a friend or colleague while they make the initial call as people are sometimes nervous to pick up the phone. But with the encouragement of a loved one, it’s easier.”

“Grief doesn’t discriminate and it touches many. Vicarious trauma can also occur, so even if an incident hasn’t happened to you personally, being around it can still have an impact.”

Ms Whiteley’s advice to Wellington residents is to keep being kind to one another – quick to support and slow to criticise.

“Wellington is a fantastic community, highly adaptable and incredibly resilient with so many people collaborating together and displaying real empathy for one another. People are working hard to be strong for one another but it’s okay to ask for support. If you are struggling, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”

To contact Lifeline, call 1300 798 258 locally or 13 11 14 for 24-hour national crisis support.

COMMUNITY RADIO

Upgrade plans for Binjang

Think: About your choices. Call Gambling Help 1800 6343 636.

WELLINGTON’S Binjang Radio will be able to add wheelchair access and weather proof car parking this year along with other wish list items, thanks to $18,235 received through the State Government’s Community Building Partnerships program.

The funding was welcomed by station manager Tony Graham who said the organisation had to make a lot of changes during its first year at the Pierce St location, the former 1st Wellington Scout Hall.

“We had to spend a bit of money fixing up the Scout Hall,” he said. “We have to spend another $25,000 to get it up to scratch.”

At the moment, the station has an office and broadcast studio areas. The aim is to add a meeting space and training room for volunteers.

“It’s been tough for us after we were forced out of our previous location by council,” Mr Graham said. “But we are happy about the funding.

www: wellingtonsoldiers.com.au

“We’re very proud of our station and what we provide for the people of Wellington. We want residents to be able to come and have meetings with us, and to provide a suitable environment for the volunteers who work for us.

“This funding will allow us to do the first stage of work, and we also have a desire to improve wheelchair accessibility and weatherproof our car parking area in the future.”

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders described Binjang as an important part of Wellington.

“I know the town loves having its own community radio station. In the past 18 months or so the station has had to relocate, which has meant starting from scratch in a lot of respects, so I’m happy to help with funding to enable the team get that process started.

“Community Building Partnerships is a program designed for groups that make our communities great places to live, and Binjang does that in Wellington.”

FOSTER CARE

Foster your way Heidi and Marcus say that being short term foster carers allows them to share, on their terms, the happy family life they enjoy, with kids in need.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY FIRST time foster care couple, Marcus Scott and Heidi Spratt, hesitated to open their home to kids in need – thinking it too hard to add another child to their three.

On discovering flexible care options were available however, they quickly realised it was easier than expected.

When a child suddenly has to leave a critical situation, shortterm options for a night, a weekend or a week, for example, are essential to immediately ensure a safe place to stay until they can return home, or a more suitable place is found.

Other carers need respite too, so couples and families like Marcus and Heidi can fulfil that short term need.

“We’ve signed up with Uniting for short term, respite and emergency because there are so many kids who are pulled out of homes and they’ve got nowhere to go,”

Marcus, a self-employed consultant, said.

“For us too, it’s really about testing the waters. It is a way of getting in there and seeing what it’s like.”

Heidi, a program manager for a local Indigenous youth and family services organisation, understands it’s a stop gap for the children and the long-term goal is return them to their families.

“If we can provide a safe, nurturing, loving, fun environment, then we will for the moment. Ideally you do want them back with their birth families. That’s where you want kids, and they want to be back with their mums and dads,” Heidi said.

“You want whatever obstacle their family unit is currently facing, or their parents need to overcome, sorted out. Ideally, you want the child to go home.”

Having a lovely home of their own, with their three kids under 8

years old, two dogs, and a busy activity schedule playing in the back yard, doing arts and crafts and enjoying footy, basketball and swimming; it’s something they now know they can share.

“For us it’s really important Uniting understood the ages of our three children; what might work, what mightn’t work, and to make sure the dynamic of the family doesn’t shift too much,” Heidi said.

“You can specify ages, what days suit you and your family. You can say you’re away at a specific time and can’t take a child. We’d also like to provide respite for parents or for grandmothers and other full time foster carers who might need a break and are struggling, where we might take a child from Friday afternoon to Monday morning, for example.”

Another motivation for Heidi and Marcus was thinking about their own children being in the

same situation.

“What if they were pulled out suddenly with nowhere to go?

We thought, we’re a pretty great house so at least it’s a nice, safe, loving environment kids in foster care can just slot into.

“Also, our kids completely understand what it’s about. Uniting actually interview the kids, and ask them what they think about it, and make sure they’ve got an understanding as to what’s going on.

“It’s a lesson for them too.

You’re actually really lucky to be born into what you’re born into, in some cases. It’s about having empathy for other kids and their situations. I do think you’ve got to teach those lessons from a young age. There’s a lot of adults out there who don’t have empathy,” Heidi said.

To begin the process, the couple attended information sessions with Uniting in Dubbo.

“They debunked a lot of myths

for us, around foster caring.

It was a pretty easy process to go through. The Uniting girls are just fabulous, really easy to talk to, it’s a really open process. It was pretty much: this is the way it will be, are you ready for it, and we’re here to support you in every way we can.

“The information session is followed by in-home visits, questionnaires, understanding our family dynamics, and what might work for us and what mightn’t.”

What works particularly well for Marcus and Heidi is being able to give back to the community in which their own kids are growing up.

“And it’s just trying to make what is a really traumatic experience for a child, a little less so,” Heidi said.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

To conquer? Or to steal?

The Editor, They came, they saw, they conquered - that’s how I got to call Australia home.

What’s the difference between conquered and stolen when talking about land?

When talking about Romans, Egyptians, and Huns we often talk of the conquering land. But when discussing British invasions of America and Australia we say they stole land from the natives.

It’s the same action right? Someone decides they want to expand their kingdom, they send armies, people die, and someone gets the land.

What’s the difference? Why use different terms? Is there a proper classification system?

Or is it simply one was far more recent and so the people whose land was stolen still feel the effects; and it would be inappropriate to say ‘conquered’. But ancient history is, well, history.

I’m not debating the use of lan-

guage, obviously many cultures have suffered over British invasions. I just want to know if there is a legal/historical definition or reason for the use of different words.

In conclusion, 1788 was before yours and my time so exactly how do we solve this debate? Do we continue to argue amongst ourselves? Suggest alternative dates then vote together to agree on a new date? Should we all go lootin’ and tootin’ if Sco Mo won’t change the date?

What if we said the last Friday in January is the new allocated date to ‘celebrate being an Aussie’ day? Would this be okay? Or does the new date have to commemorate our Koori heritage in some form of way?

Can we move past this and get back to sausage sangas and beers and Triple J? Oops, I mean vegan sausages of course!

Council CEO Michael McMahon to retire in 2021 Mayor Ben Shields ❚ OPINION LAST week Dubbo Regional Council’s CEO Michael McMahon announced his retirement.

Effective as of April, Mr McMahon concludes a long career in local government that spanned over four decades, including being the CEO (back then termed Town Clerk or General Manager) of six different Councils.

I cannot think of any other individual that has as much experience across a wide range of Councils as Michael has.

His past Councils include large metropolitan and regional councils, to Councils where he was needed to deal with the fall out of serious corruption issues, right through to Councils like Dubbo that had amalgamated and was dealing with monumental cultural, financial, structural and morale challenges from a forced merger.

When the first elected Councillors took the reins at our newly created Dubbo Regional Council, we discovered an organisation that had been hit by a metaphorical disaster. Through no fault of the staff or surviving management team, the job of combining two extremely different organisations revealed some big divides, not only in the actual Council organisations, but also in the community, particularly in Wellington where there was serious shock at seemingly losing their identity.

Many good staff members had resigned, and the organisation was struggling to fill staff vacancies.

The flow-on effects to staff, who knew the organisation need to undergo a major restructure, was catastrophic to their morale.

The issues affecting the organisation was causing major efficiency problems and were starting to flow on to the rollout of infrastructure and services to our newly merged communities. These issues, which people from outside the organisation could not possibly

understand, threatened the very viability of our local community.

I soon realised that the things I personally wanted to achieve as Mayor had to be put on the back burner and a focus on rebuilding had to happen. Luckily I had backup. As the longest serving board member of the Local Government Association (Local Government NSW), knowing literally dozens of former Mayors across NSW, I knew that in order to bring the two organisations together someone was needed who clearly was not from either community and had wide experience in running Councils.

When the time came, one of the senior directors of Council recommended to me that there was an experienced fellow from Burwood who could fill in in the interim period while Councillors quickly found a long-term appointment.

The first time I met Michael McMahon was in one of the corridors of Council, not long after Council met to pass a resolution to make him the interim General Manager.

I actually walked past and said hello while not realising who he was!

In my first actual meeting with Michael, he started rattling off what the issues were in his previous Councils that had merged. He outlined a long journey ahead that would require incredibly tough decisions, cultural and attitude changes of not only staff but also Councillors but most important-

ly, bringing the community stakeholders along for the journey.

The first few months of being Mayor was the most emotional and toughest period of my life.

Staff were still shattered; for legally required confidentiality reasons local media couldn’t be told how the process and were growing frustrated; while the political enemies of the merged Council were using the opportunity to stick the knife into the new organisation thinking this was the opportunity to say “I told you so” that the merger couldn’t work.

Michael’s advice and guidance held the ship together while the organisation rebuilt despite the attacks from anti-merger outsiders.

Over time the pep-talks he gave not only myself, councillors and staff started to boost confidence while he also embarked on a massive rebuild where extremely hard internal decisions had to be made.

Positive results started to flow.

Within a few months major cost savings were found, consensus-driven restructuring was progressing well, and the Council was showing resilience against those outside who were trying to tear the Councillors and organisation down.

Not everything was easy straight away. The big changes still meant a lot of people were inevitably disappointed, and to this day, while significantly quieter, there still are

a lot of disgruntled people upset with the tough changes that had to be made.

As the months rolled on Michael come to love the large challenge, but also enthusiastically embraced our region. The time came for Council to appoint a full-time CEO came and Michael put his hand up for the job. After a large selection process driven by an external recruitment agency, Michael unsurprisingly came up best.

The now-permanent CEO got on with the job of rebuilding. However challenges still kept coming.

It was actually a mixed blessing every time we won a major new government grant. In a lot of cases post-merger our staff levels meant that these projects struggled with their timeframes. But regardless, the big new projects – too numerous to list – were finished and opened.

While all these challenges were being met, the worst ever drought in our history hit the region hard.

Again the usual story happened with outsiders using the opportunity to knock the Council and again, the Council stood firm and worked through the crises. The big difference this time was the wider community had confidence in their new Council to handle the situation and the nay-sayers were, pardon the pun, drowning out! Michael’s steady, yet ‘eye on the ball’ leadership was paying dividends

big time.

To me, the proof is in the pudding when looking at the actual achievements of Dubbo Regional Council and its CEO. Multiple awards have been won, such as airport of the year, best Council customer service standards and best regional theatre to name a few. The award I am most proud of is that DRC has been recognised as the council with the best Covid-19 response in Australia. Mammoth cost savings well in excess of $10 million have led to funds being able to go into new community projects, while the merged Council’s standing in the community as a whole has been lifted way above the past heights of the previous two smaller organisations.

To me, the biggest proof of accomplishment is comparing Dubbo to the dozens of other newly merged Councils. You can count on one hand the very few that have been successful so far in their change. Stories of virtual bankruptcies, Councils being sacked with administrators being appointed and community petitions still demanding de-mergers are rife across the bulk of the councils that were merged in 2016. Our region not only avoided all that but flourished.

Michael McMahon came to see me last year and told me that he intended to retire in April. He was quite frank when he said that he never envisioned at his age he would be a long term CEO but he relished the opportunity of using his lifetime’s acquired experience in local government to assist the Dubbo Region community build their new Council into a highly respected, well-oiled organisation.

He tells me that the community and organisation, while still on the merger journey now has the foundations to do incredible things for our residents.

For me personally, I owe Michael McMahon the greatest level of appreciation for his sudden arrival at the most difficult period of my life.

His guidance is what enabled me to stand firm and the wisdom he has given me as made me a much better community leader.

Happy retirement Michael.

Contributed by THE ROTARY CLUB OF DUBBO MACQUARIE ONE of the nicest things about being part of the Rotary family, according to members of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie, is the opportunity to pitch in and help out when there’s a need.

So the club was only too pleased to answer the call for help after the small community of Nevertire recently found itself on the receiving end of Mother Nature’s wrath.

Hot on the heels of a near-decade long drought, the tiny town was rocked in early December by a freak storm that tore through the pub, ripped rooves off houses, flattened trees and signs and left the much-loved com-

munity hall in tatters.

“We know that a small town’s hall is often the heart of the community and our club members wanted to contribute to making sure the people of Nevertire can rebuild that hub as quickly as possible,” current club President Lawrie Donoghue said as he handed over a thousand-dollar donation for the Nevertire Hall Trust.

He is pictured here (left) with Past Assistant Governor Steve Cowley (right), who accepted the donation on behalf of the Warren Rotary Club, which is driving the fundraising efforts to assist the community of Nevertire.

“Rotary is all about community, and we’re all part of a larger community here in the west.”

THERE is lots of excitement behind the scenes at the moment, but nothing more exciting than being able to welcome Miss Sophie as a junior associate. Sophie Anderson started Physie in 2015 as a 10-year-old, loved the sport and its community and is now stepping forward to work in a teaching capacity.

“My highlights have been competing at Junior Nationals in 2016 and having the opportunity to be an assistant with the 5/6 yrs and 7/8 yrs in 2020. Physie means so much to me, fun, fitness, friends, strength, skills, confidence, and family. I’m excited to share my love of Physie with the Sparkles and have another great year with the Orana Physie family!"

Sophie was honoured with both the Club Scholarship and Club Person of the Year award in 2020 for her dedicated involvement, always digging deep to provide support and encouragement.

As a not-for-profit club Orana Physie enjoys the wonderful support of a dedicated membership and committee who provide many happily given volunteer hours to build a fitness based connected community.

The club’s teachers are looking forward to receiving the choreography and soundtracks to this year’s

This paddock of purple was shot on the back side of Mugga Hill from one of the mountain bike trails by a passing two-wheeler who had to stop and take in the colour.

There’s nothing quite like the raggedy bloom of a Tasmanian Blue Gum otherwise known as Eucalyptus globulus, photographed locally, but which is the floral emblem of Tasmania. It’s also the primary source of eucalyptus oil production, with China being the largest commercial producer. The leaves can be used in tea.

Trees growing in the Redwood Forest near Warburton, Victoria, were captured by a staff photographer, “before a bush fire claims them” she said.

2021 of Ken Smith sity in 2019 and has been involved in social justice campaigns in and around Dubbo – he says grassroots movements to create positive change in communities can be incredibly powerful.

“The reason I’m particularly happy to be back in Dubbo is that over the last few years is because what I see here is what Australia needs to be, and what grassroots movements can look like,” Mr Vyas told Dubbo Photo News.

“One person can make such a difference, whether it’s Jo Leader at Apollo House or River-

bank Frank or Burnsey (Const. Ian Burns) from the police station, there are some phenomenal changes that single individuals are doing and those changes become the glue that is holding this community together.

“I see that as a blueprint for what Australia can be – there’s clearly a lot of things that we can do better but I also see what this community is as a blueprint for what Australian can potentially be, thanks to what these local heroes are doing in this community every day.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE z The most leaves ever found on a clover is 56. z In 2012, American food manufacturer General Mills sent professional basketball player Jeremy Lin a special jersey made entirely out of Fruit Roll-Ups after he tweeted about his love for the snack. z The southern polar region of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, contains cryovolcanoes, an exotic type of geyser that spews ice instead of magma. z The first footprints on the moon will remain there for a million years. z A Kansas man requested that an Iowa court grant his motion for trial by combat. His opponents? His ex-wife and her attorney, whom he desired to meet “on the field of battle” in order to

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION “rend their souls from their corporeal bodies”. z The world’s largest recorded snowflake measured 38cm wide and 20cm thick. z Similar to how human babies suck their thumbs for comfort, baby elephants suck on their trunks. z In the Middle Ages, a man’s wealth was measured by his stockpile of pepper. z A 639-year performance by an automated organ, based on avant-garde composer John Cage’s “As Slow as Possible”, started in September 2001 and is still running at St. Buchard Church in Germany. Progressing so slowly that visitors have to wait months for a chord change, it is scheduled to conclude in 2640. z Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin brought a chalice, bread and wine to the moon to take communion.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z “If you have a bunch of picture frames that don’t match or ones that are nicked or have small cosmetic damages, just paint them.

Choose a matching colour for all, and you have a collection.” – T.L. z Kitchen tip: You can slice mushrooms in an egg slicer. z If your joggers are smelly, try this: Stick a sheet of fabric softener in each one. Let them set overnight, and most of the time, the smell will be gone by morning. Of course, you should rotate between pairs of shoes to help them all “breathe”, since wearing your shoes day after day can foster bacteria growth – meaning your sneaks will be really stinky. z “To get sheets and towels to dry faster, try adding a tennis ball to the dryer. It bounces around inside while the cycle is going, and breaks

up large items that tend to crumple into a ball.” – C.L. z When you get near the end of a roll of paper towels, save it to put in your car. Pull together a kit to keep in the car with the following items: a small bottle of glass cleaner, a squeeze bottle of water, some wet wipes and the short roll of paper towels. You will always be ready for a quick on-the-road clean-up. z The kitchen and the bathroom are the worst places in the house to store medicines and vitamins.

Humidity and heat can damage the properties of the compounds. z “If you have a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth that gets a tear, don’t throw it out. You can cut it into rectangles to line a shelf. Use a thin bead of glue at the edges to keep them down, and it makes a nice liner. You can even use squares between pans as a scuff guard.”

By THE PLATYPUS

DUBBO’S 2020 Sportsperson of the Year has taken another huge step towards an Olympic dream.

17-year-old Haylee Fuller has just spent four days in Adelaide as the only Under 19s rider invited to join the Adelaide Festival of Cycling Tour Down Under.

The Tour included many professional Word Tour riders and Haylee’s team made up of Australian Olympic Endurance riders. Just being allowed to ride the event was an achievement but that wasn’t enough for the young Dubbo athlete who went above and beyond to achieve a top 10 finish in the final stage The latest in a long line of champions to emerge from Australia’s top ranked Dubbo Cycling Club, Haylee backed up two track gold medals she had won before Christmas with a breathtaking finish to find herself on the leaderboard at the finish of stage Four.

Haylee was racing with Sydney Uni Staminade (SUS), the youngest, most inexperienced but, as she showed on the gruelling Willungah Hill, one of the finest in the team.

“It’s been an amazing experience. The top 10 finish capped off my tour and I couldn’t be happier with my criterion race efforts on the last day,” Haylee wrote on her blog.

She says going into the last day

DURING the extended holiday period numbers have been down for our Weekly Point Score but as people arrive home and the days stay warm we anticipate more of our regulars jumping back in the pool.

Colin “Wok” Sheridan won the 30 metre event being plus 0.02 outside his time while Terry Dray took out the 50 metres (+.49) Bonni and Bella Sheridan won the Junior events.

Bella and Nick Knowles combined to win the Brace Relay being just two hundredths of a second outside their nominated time.

Forbes will be hosting the Western District AIF Championships on Sunday 14 February 2021. If you would like to compete, names can be entered on the sheet at the after-swim BBQ on Tue nights.

Results for Tuesday 19 January 2021: Juniors  25m – Bonni Sheridan (+.40), 2nd Bella Sheridan (+.54), 3rd Lilly Sheridan (-.59)  50m – Bella Sheridan (-.27), 2nd Xandah Edwards (-.69), 3rd Lilly Sheridan (-.82) Seniors  30m – Colin Sheridan (+.02), 2nd Nick Knowles (+.16), 3rd Wayne Rich (-.29)  50m – Terry Dray (+.49), 2nd Mark Inwood (+.51), 3rd Wayne Rich (+.58)  Brace Relay – Bella Sheridan/Nick Knowles (+.02), 2nd Lilly Sheridan/ Michael McLaughlan, 3rd Charlie/ Xandah Edwards

her SUS’s aim was to try their best to get Nicole Frain into third on the General Classification (GC) which would come down to the final sprint.

“I was in a good position leading into the final lap however I saw Nicole at the back of our little breakaway group so I went back to try and get her into the best position for the sprint. I came across the line in eighth position and I was smiling...”

The senior student was excited to finish off with her name in lights.

“The four days were tough but nothing compared to Willungah!”

Haylee and her twin sisters were back behind Gus Dawson on his pacing bike on Tuesday after flying home via Canberra.

‘Gus gets us up around 5.30 each day. He is so dedicated and absolutely loves to see us all do well. Leading into the Tour he

would take us down to Wellington so we could do four or five circuits up around Mount Arthur.

It was tough but had me in peak fitness for last week’s event.”

School started this week – but only for one day for Haylee.

“I have National road titles down in Ballarat and then I can put some time into the books and refine my training for the track championships in April”.

SPORTS AWARDS

Diverse group vie for Young Sports Award

By GEOFF MANN A PROMISING bowler, a talented thrower, a champion swimmer and some of Australia’s top cyclists and a middle distance runner presented a challenge to find Dubbo’s Young Sportsperson for 2020.

After careful scrutiny of the claims for each, quadruple gold-medal winning cyclist Isabelle Russell was awarded the prestigious citation.

Isabelle took three gold medals at the National Track Titles in December, claiming the top jersey in Individual Pursuit and combining with NSW teammates in the Team Pursuit and Sprint events.

She showed her strength

in the Flying 200, finishing second.

These medals added to Isabelle’s efforts at the State titles that netted a full suite of colours – gold in the team trial, silver in the points race, as well as bronze in the Scratch and Sprint.

To cap it off, Isabelle was awarded the Overall Champion in the Women’s Under 17s after she had scooped the pool in the time trial, scratch and sprint races at last year’s Country championships.

Other remarkable athletes considered for their performances during a year disrupted by Covid 19 included lawn bowler James Robinson who became the youngest champion at Club Dubbo, cyclist Dylan Eather, all-

round thrower Grace Peters who excelled at NSW athletics in javelin, discus and shot put, brilliant State Age 200m breaststroke champion Bianca Fuller, and Dubbo’s “smiling assassin” Ella Penman who was chosen for the elite Australian Institute of Sport Academy after running National qualifying times in 400, 800, 1500 and 3,000 metre distances.

Ella is the NSW All Schools 1500 metres champion and was the fastest 15 years Cross Country runner in the state.

Other young sports people demonstrated their talent including wicket-keeper batsman Tom Coady and rugby union stars Jayden Blake and Lillyann Mason-Spice.

David “bleeds” harness racing

By GEOFF MANN DAVID Wrigley wife Patsy and son Brett epitomise everything that is good about volunteers and local sport.

They have combined with the likes of the late Lester Coffee, Lex and Rhonda Bramble, Jack and Robert Shanks, the Lew family, Graham Phipps, Len Edwards and numerous others to ensure that “the trots” have continued to thrive through all sorts of challenges.

David was chosen from a strong field of nominees as the 2020 Ser-

vices to Sport Awardee.

The hard-working but understated master-builder has lived for the sport for nearly 40 years.

He has served two terms as President, remains an active member of the Board and devotes countless hours with Patsy and Brett to ensure the canteen is wellstocked and all things operational are functioning at the Dubbo Showground Paceway.

During the pandemic David continued to organise and attend the Tuesday night trials and maintained the club’s voice on the Western District Harness Racing

Association David and his family have owned and raced horses for at least 40 years, although the passionate standardbred breeder took 19 years to claim his first winner!

The nomination form highlighted the nature of this generous man.

“David Wrigley bleeds Dubbo and Dubbo Harness Racing. He is a no fuss hard worker who never seeks accolades for himself and fights tooth and nail to gain the best for DHRC. The club would not be in a sound position if not for his hard work and dedication.

“David is often the first at the track on race and trial days and the last to leave along with Patsy and Brett,” the testimonial continued.

Others who were nominated for their incredible dedication and leadership came from athletics, croquet, swimming, rugby league, touch, league tag, netball and swimming as well as cycling and tennis.

David Wrigley deserves this award and a huge vote of thanks from the thousands of young and old lovers of the sport conducted under “the ribbon of light”.

PICKLEBALL

When a ball’s a pickle “The Pink Angels is Dubbo’s own breast cancer support group, they really are invaluable, my wife had a bout with that, and they were amazing, amazing people and they deserve all the help they can get and last year they got knocked around by not being able to do a number of fundraisers so hopefully this’ll be a big one for them.”

Pickleball was designed at a retirement village in North America in a bid to find a sport that all people could play that wasn’t too hard on the bones.

So far Dubbo Sports World has had people as young as 13 come along to play, with other participants in their 70s and 80s also having a crack.

Pickleball itself is based on some basic bat and ball games and combines many facets of table tennis, tennis, badminton.

“Anyone that’s played any form of bat and ball game will be able to play pickleball, it’s like as though you’re running around on top of a table tennis table, you don’t have to be a champion, it’s all about participation, it’s great exercise,” Mr King said.

“If people approach us wanting help, we’ll sit down with

By JOHN RYAN GREG King says Pickleball is the most exciting new sport to come along for a while and he’s hoping to use the novelty value to launch an ongoing community fundraising program.

“We just thought it was an opportunity after this COVID pandemic where a lot of people have lost opportunities to raise funds, we were looking for ways that we can promote our facility and the fact that people are out there playing sport,” Mr King told Dubbo Photo News.

He’s already spoken to a few indoor sports centre owners from other places and says this push will be collaborative where they’ll try and learn off each other as they run the fundraising events to support the community.

He said the fundraising can be for all sorts of worthwhile causes.

“It can take all forms, whether or not it’s a sporting person who wants to raise some money to attend an event, or it may be for someone who’s ill, or charity groups such as the Pink Angels, who we are doing the first fundraiser for.

them, work with them and if we can help them, we will.

“We’ve always done fundraisers for various people and for a number of reasons and money has gone to respite care, the Men’s Shed, it’s gone to all sorts of causes and we’ve done that on a regular basis.”

He said rather than selling raffle tickets, they decided to let people do something, have a game, get active and enjoy themselves while raising money for a good cause.

The first event, a Pickleball game which will see all proceeds going to help support the Pink Angels.

It’s all happening at Dubbo Sports World on Sunday, February 7, and the games commence at 5:30pm.

All intending come and try players will receive formal instruction on how to play the game and are guaranteed at least two games.

Cost per player is just $8 with every cent of that money going to Dubbo’s Pink Angels’ breast cancer support group.

Anyone wanting to get involved can go to the Dubbo Pickleball Facebook page and nominate in the comments, email dubbosportsworld@ gmail.com or text Greg King on 0411 265 485.

Brendan Martin, partnered with Greg King, is about to serve up a pickleball storm.
