“AW, RATS!” We got ourselves a convoy By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WIDESPREAD opposition against the state government’s proposed River Street Bridge continues with a protest convoy of trucks taking to Dubbo’s streets yesterday morning to highlight what opponents claim are fundamental flaws in the project.

“WE can’t keep up with demand, it’s been like this for six months,” Chris Bray from Petrie’s Mitre 10 said in regard to the rats and mice currently plaguing the region. Dubbo Photo News has been told some local homeowners have been catching hundreds of

mice each night. Some farmers across the region have also been hard hit, with reports that hay bales have been attacked, with the strings of the bales chewed and the hay quality downgraded. Many grain growers across the region are also planning how to

keep the rodents from their storage facilities to prevent this season’s bumper harvest from being spoiled before it can be sold or used for on-farm stockfeed. Mr Bray is pictured at the Dubbo hardware store with some of the rodent control solutions on Tuesday, which had mostly sold

out by Wednesday. “We bought out the warehouse in Brisbane of its last stock and that’ll arrive today (Thursday), but after that, there’ll be no stock until the end of March,” Mr Bray said.

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY IF this painting doesn’t make you feel good, then possibly nothing will. Called “Luz en la Oscuridad (Light in the Darkness)”, it was painted by St John’s College student Mary Charlize Rodriguez for her major work last year. “Time and time again, we have lived through detrimental fires, floods, desertification, poverty and pandemics; all of which affects our sense of wellbeing one way or another,” Ms Rodriguez wrote about her work. “I have always taught myself to appreciate the goodness of life. Hence, I have taken this opportunity as an artist to help ourselves see situations with a glimmer of hope – through the beauty in the faces of the children amidst the flood; to enlighten people to be grateful for what we have and what we could provide. “And if I can teach people to have a steadfast morale and reflect the beauty of their journey, together we can have a world without despair, a world with a prosperous future, and a world where children will have smiles on their faces. For there will be a rainbow after the storm.” The painting is dedicated to Perlas ng Silanganan (Pearl of the Orient Seas), a photograph by Thomas Tham.

CANCELLED TRIPS

QantasLink explains why Dubbo ﬂights are ditched By LYDIA PEDRANA

DUBBO Photo News understands many locals have been left high and dry, missing business appointments and family holidays as a result of cancelled QantasLink flights out of Dubbo over the past few months. Responding to a request for an explanation, the airline is blaming COVID-19 for the canning of flights to and from our regional centre. Aside from the cancellation of individual flights, the most recent Sydney outbreak has also caused the number of return QantasLink flights between Sydney and Dubbo to drop from 20 per week to

around 12 per week. “COVID-travel restrictions to and from Sydney have had a flowon impact on our Dubbo schedule and resulted in some flights being cancelled in December and January,” a QantasLink spokesperson told Dubbo Photo News. “Our teams continue to review our network and look for opportunities to add flights back to our schedule in line with demand. “We continue to offer customers extra flexibility when they book, with the ability to hold the value of the ticket as credit or change their flights once with no change fee – though, a fare difference may apply when re-booking.”

Asked whether flight cancellations cause logistical nightmares for Dubbo City Regional Airport, manager Jacki Parish said staff understand that the pandemic has wreaked havoc for airlines. “We work closely with all airlines to promote passenger growth for our region,” Mrs Parish said. “We also understand that in the current global environment, the aviation industry faces challenges beyond anyone’s control. “We will continue to work closely with the airline industry; however, if airlines adjust schedules based on demand or business operations, our role as an airport is to support their operating

schedule, whatever that may be.” According to the airline’s rules, when a QantasLink flight is cancelled, passengers can rebook on the next available flight to their booked destination, or choose a flight credit or refund, without being charged for changes or cancellation fees. Additionally, QantasLink is currently offering customers further flexibility when booking flights, allowing passengers to change their flights once with no change fee, or hold the value of the ticket as a credit. This ‘Fly Flexible’ policy covers bookings made before April 30, 2021, for domestic and Tasman flights until June 30, 2021.

REGIONAL HEALTH

RIVER STREET BRIDGE

Positive prescription for chemists We got By JOHN RYAN

THERE’S plenty happening in the pharmacy world. Last week, rural health minister Mark Coulton used Dubbo’s Orana Mall Pharmacy as the location to announce changes to an allowance scheme which will bring regional, rural and remote pharmacies in line with their metropolitan counterparts as well as with federal assistance to GPs. Co-owner of Orana Mall Pharmacy in Dubbo and an elected official of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Simon Blacker, said the Regional Pharmacy Maintenance Allowance was a vital support in helping community pharmacies meet the needs of patients in regional, rural and remote areas. “Overall, this provides a fairer and more equitable outcome for pharmacies and patients in regional, rural and remote Australia, with the potential for further opportunities into the future which would improve health outcomes in these local communities,” Mr Blacker said. “We all know there are challenges with getting health professionals to head to the regions and if we can have systems introduced that allow better opportunities to have people move west and actually work in those regions to help the health of locals, it’s a critical thing.” Managing partner at Orana Mall Pharmacy Lisa Gibson told Dubbo Photo News the changes would allow her business to provide more services for the local

community. “Different services we currently offer at the pharmacy (include) sleep apnoea clinics so we can provide a home sleep study for our regional patients, diabetes services, vaccination services, wound care, asthma, there’s a wide range of services which we can offer,” she said. “We hope the allowance will allow us to expand into areas such as mental health, women’s health, children’s health and hopefully the COVID vaccination to increase vaccination rates.” In a Q&A session with the media she agreed that pharmacists are often the first port of call for the local community because they’re so easily accessible, and

she believes any federal assistance makes it easier for operations like Orana Mall Pharmacy to continue to provide that free initial advice for clients. And she’s hoping pharmacies get green lights from both federal and state authorities to administer the COVID vaccines when they become available. “We’ve got a purpose-built room, we’ve got a vaccination fridge for storage, and we also have everything which would be in a General Practice setting, we have a registered nurse on staff, we’ve also got six accredited vaccination pharmacists, so we’re ready and willing,” she said. Mark Coulton also said he’s pleased Dubbo was chosen by

the state government as one of just two locations this side of the mountains as a COVID-19 vaccination hub. “Really pleased, Dubbo is very well cemented as a regional health location now, and so Dubbo is ideally placed. “Dubbo and Wagga Wagga are the two places in Western NSW that have been chosen to be those hubs. They’ll have the facility to store that Pfizer vaccine at the minus-70 (degrees). (Dubbo will be) a hub where it can be distributed to other places,” Mr Coulton said. “At the moment the government is undertaking programs to train people to go in and deliver to more remote communities. “It will be in negotiation with the pharmacists about how it might work with the roll-out through pharmacies; it’ll be through GPs, it may be through the respiratory clinics – there’s 154 respiratory clinics that we’re already funding that have been monitoring the COVID throughout the last eight or nine months and so it’ll be a broad brush. “There’ll be 50 million needles needed to be given – 25 million twice – so there’s also got to be the records kept so that the two vaccine shots are kept at the appropriate time apart. “Our federal health department has been working with the states and working with the pharmacies and working with the GP organisations to make sure that when we roll this out, it’s done as smoothly as possible.”

TRAFFIC MATTERS

New lights and lane for busy thoroughfare By LYDIA PEDRANA

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said upgrades to the Newell Highway and Baird Street intersection will reduce congestion. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

THE installation of a new set of traffic lights and dedicated right turn lane at the intersection of Newell Highway and Baird Street began this week. While these works will cause changed traffic conditions for motorists, it is hoped the upgrade helps reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and increase safety at the

busy thoroughfare Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the work comes in response to community consultation. “Motorists and cyclists turning right from the Newell Highway onto Baird Street will particularly benefit from the right turn lane,” Mr Saunders said. “Work to install the new turning lane and traffic lights at this inter-

section will support up to 16 jobs and three contracting companies.” While work on the traffic lights this week has taken place through the night, daytime works will be carried out from this Wednesday, February 10, until late February. Construction on the right turn lane is due to start in March and be completed in late October, with the lights being switched on soon after.

From page 1

Shadow regional transport minister David Harris was in town to take part and he said a growing number of people in the Dubbo and the wider NSW transport network support investigating a bypass option to address flooding, congestion and safety. “There is a strong case for a thorough investigation of a bypass option. The NSW and Federal Governments have spent almost $300 million on a road that locals complain hasn’t fully addressed flooding and a rapidly growing population,” Mr Harris said. “Before taxpayers’ money is spent there is strong expectation to get the best value for money. A bypass must be properly investigated.” While in town this week Mr Harris met with representatives from the Transport Workers Union, farmers, residents and local businesspeople to become more informed before he presents a petition to state parliament from more than 10,000 people asking for the bypass option to be fully explored. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders, a fierce proponent of the River Street Bridge, declined an invitation from convoy organisers to attend the event but one of his office staff was present to video the trucks.

Kindness is catching, for all the right reasons By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THERE is no easier way to boost your self-esteem and optimism than witnessing or doing an act of kindness. As a result of being, witnessing or doing something kind, the chemistry in our brains benefits our mood, health and well-being, according to Science and Technology Superstar of STEM 20192020, Dr Juliette Tobias-Webb. “Witnessing acts of kindness produces oxytocin, occasionally referred to as the ‘love hormone’, which aids in lowering blood pressure and improving our overall heart-health,” Dr Tobias-Webb told Dubbo Photo News. “For anyone involved, kindness can improve happiness, well-being, stress, anxiety, depression. That’s extra helpful when we’re anxious or shy in a social situation. “Kindness can reduce blood pressure. It is good for people physically and mentally. Kindness is also contagious – so you can help perpetuate a better world,” Dr Tobias-Webb said. Dubbo local Jessica Fraser knows first-hand what that means, after being humbled by seeing an act of kindness shown toward her seven-year-old son who was in a wheelchair following treatment on his legs for a neuromuscular condition, on a trip to the movies. “We were watching the trailers and my son put his popcorn on his lap while he adjusted his wheelchair only to have the whole

thing fall on the ground. He was already emotional, so he broke down and cried as he tried to save what he had left in his bucket. “Next thing a young kid that was a row behind us went out and bought my son a brand new popcorn and cleaned up what was still on the floor for us. What a humbling experience,” Ms Fraser said. Not one to wait for acts of kind-

She is such a beautiful person and all her kind words really had an impact on me. It really helped. I’ll never forget it.” Dr Tobias-Webb knows that feeling of humility after helping an elderly man. “He had been crossing the road and tripped over. He was bleeding quite badly, and I helped to patch him up. He told me about how he donates blood regularly, and on departure, he said to remember, ‘good day, every day, good day, every day’. “I went and shared his wisdom with my friends and have donated blood since. I felt humbled to have met him,” she said. So keeping spreading the love, because that oxytocin is good for everyone.

DUBBO’S Garden Hotel will use a $25,000 Commonwealth grant to help develop a sustainable live music venue base for the city. Parkes MP Mark Coulton announced the funding under round one of the Live Music Australia program, which he said is designed to assist in the national recovery of the live music sector from the impacts of COVID-19. “These grants will fund upgrades to venues and equipment to help pubs, clubs and theatres bring more home-grown live music to our communities as they reopen and recover from COVID-19,” Mr Coulton said. “The Garden Hotel will use its funding for a power upgrade to develop a sustainable live music ven-

ue base, which in turn will increase performance opportunities for musicians in the region. “I congratulate the Garden Hotel on taking the initiative to help rebuild its capacity as COVID-19 restrictions are eased, while supporting local performing artists.” Garden Hotel venue manager Jordan Hislop said the funding was very welcome and will allow the pub to host more bands in the beer garden. “We do have regular live music performances but the last couple of times we’ve had larger bands we’ve had to hire a generator,” she said. The Garden Hotel is one of more than 100 venues across Australia to benefit from the first round of the Live Music Australia program.

NOT SO MICE

Rampant rodents wreaking havoc By LYDIA PEDRANA

A MICE plague is running rampant across the region with residents and farmers struggling to stay on top of the problem. Social media has also been set alight with people sharing their rodent horror stories with some finding them dead in swimming pools, destroying electrical cords and running in packs of thousands across roads at night. Peter Green from Greens Pest Services in Dubbo has been in the pest control industry for 30 years and described the current plague as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty seriousâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cover probably a 160-kilometre radius of Dubbo and all the outlying small towns are inundated with mice problems, but in Dubbo it seems to be in pockets. Some people I talk to donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem, others are catching 10 or 20 mice a day,â&#x20AC;? he told Dubbo Photo News. Mr Green said a combination of various environmental factors have made for perfect mice breeding conditions, and by nature, they multiply extremely quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a three-year drought and then we had pretty good conditions weatherwise which has brought on a lot of growth which is obviously a good food source Abigail McLaughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dogs doing their best to exterminate the rodents.

(for mice). Farmers have had really good crops and the upshot of all that is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideal conditions for mice to breed in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One pair of mice are active six weeks after being born, and 21 days after that they can have a herd of little ones, and so in no time at all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 400 or 500 mice coming from that in a year, so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for them to breed.â&#x20AC;? Abigail McLaughlin lives in a new home on a farm between Nyngan and Warren and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the number of mice and rats that have inundated their house and property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had them since the end of harvest last year and they started building up just before Christmas, so I was putting traps in our kitchen. We had rats in our roof â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a rat here before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been away for a week, we went down to the coast, we came back and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just gone crazy in the last week,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have an art studio and we put poison grain in there and honestly you would think a cow had died in there the smell is so bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also in my car, and this is quite a problem, our car is quite new, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Toyota Landcruiser Wagon and they are getting up

into the air conditioning filters and they have done that to a few people at work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like we are driving really old crappy cars.â&#x20AC;? While the plague hit after the McLaughlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvested last year, meaning none of their crop was damaged, the mice are posing challenges for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband went out and had a look and there are mice holes right throughout the cropping country. The problem there is when we sow in March or April they will just eat the seeds unless something happens to them,â&#x20AC;? Mrs McLaughlin explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are changing our farming practise this year as a result and we will plough, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally plough, we just direct drill, and so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got new plough discs and he will just go over it all and hopefully bust up all the mice nests and holes and then we may have to bait, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know yet.â&#x20AC;? With the family dogs Kevin and Whoopit doing their fair share of mice extermination, Mrs McLaughlin has struggled to find traps and bait, likely due to the high demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy any traps anywhere. A couple of weeks ago the Bunning mouse trap shelf in Dubbo was bare and the supermarkets here where we would get them,

thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two supermarkets, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any and no baits,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just spent $65 online buying traps and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going for these traps that you can fit lots of mice in, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called cage traps so you put your bait in the bottom and they climb in and you can get heaps.â&#x20AC;? At the moment, approximately 60 per cent of Mr Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is either mice specific, or part of general pest treatments, and with many mice choosing electrical cords as a preferred thing to chew, households are at serious risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, they need to gnaw or chew or their front teeth grow too big and one of their favourite things to chew on in a house is electrical cables, and therefore it can cause fires and goodness knows what else,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Local electricians have told

me) the mice will get into stoves and chew out the wiring in there and a lot of them get zapped while they do it, so electricians get called in to find the problem and inevitably itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mouse caught up in some burnt out wires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They also like to pull the insulation out of certain areas where insulation needs to be.â&#x20AC;? Mr Green also warned the community about the potential danger to household pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing people want to be a bit careful of in regard to baiting, which we do a lot of, is that pets can get secondary poisoning from eating mice that have eaten bait, particularly small pets, so you should be conscious of that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are going to bait, you really need to keep a close eye on your animals.â&#x20AC;? While baiting, traps and professional extermination can help reduce the impact of a mice infestation, Mr Green said a healthy dose of wet weather is the only way to put an end to the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my experience, the only thing that stops a plague like this is heavy continuous rain, which seems to drown them out a little bit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or a big frost, but we will be waiting a while for a big frost so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope we get some heavy rain.â&#x20AC;?

Learning the craft of storytelling in her early years at school, Ms Bowen’s inspiration for Zoe The Bookak came while on a family getaway up north. “My first book was inspired by my younger sister impersonating a kookaburra on a holiday in Cairns, and it’s an adventure book and the first of seven in a series,” the Year 6 student told Dubbo Photo News. “It’s about a kookaburra who lives in the outback.” Ms Bowen’s cousins from Sydney, Kate and Stephanie Parker, helped her write the story and while it wasn’t officially published with a publishing house, they had several copies professionally printed as a keepsake. They even handed out copies to extended family members and accepted donations, all of which were bestowed to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). But her writing isn’t only appreciated by those closest to her. In 2018, Ms Bowen, who was nine at the time, won the NSW Education Standards Authority Writeon competition with an eight-stanza poem based on a

black and white photograph she was given as inspiration. Big on collaborating, Ms Bowen’s second book, a mystery titled How To Become Famous, was co-authored by another set of cousins, Isla, 11, and Jemima, 13, Ferres, who also live in Dubbo. Catching up at least once a week, the threesome are currently working on a sequel, How Not To Become Famous. Although the saying goes ‘two’s company and three’s a crowd,’ the young ladies have a strategy for working together, without arguments. “We usually just say our ideas out loud and talk about them before writing them down,” Ms Bowen explained. “That way we find an agreement before it’s finalised.” Admitting writer’s block can hit now and again, Ms Bowen’s approach to snapping out of it is simple. “If I can’t think of anything I just stop and go do something else,” she explained. “Usually when I come back, I have a new idea.” Proud mum Mary recalls Ms Bowen’s passion for stories beginning well before she could pen to paper. “I think Tahlia’s love for books began at the breakfast table with Bible Stories, around age one,” Mrs Bowen said. “When she was two, she was making up tall, gory stories which she delighted in telling; some she

THE Federal Government has allocated $10 million to the Climate Services for Agriculture program to help farm businesses anticipate and plan to increase drought resilience. The first generation of the climate service is expected to be operational by June 2021 with user engagement in four pilot regions rolling out in early 2021. “CSIRO and BOM will engage the agricultural sector to determine the type of climate information that is most useful to their businesses. The pilot regions will be identified in early 2021 and will include a range of climatic regions and agricultural sectors Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, David Littleproud said.

dictated, and I wrote down for her. “The classic was one in which she was a cannibal and ate all her babysitters. “Around age three she was reading books to her classmates at day care.” Although the multi-talented Ms Bowen says she would prefer to keep writing as a hobby and pursue a career as a drummer in a band, her mum believes writing will always be a big part of her. “I can picture Tahlia returning to writing over and over throughout her life,” Mrs Bowen said. “She has a lot of different interests, which seem to come in

waves; she will ride the wave intensely for a time, complete something, and then turn to a different interest on which she will focus intently for a season. “I do love the fact that she has a great attention span and will follow projects through to completion.” Humble as pie, Ms Bowen said there are no plans to have How Not To Become Famous published at this stage, instead she will email a digital copy out friends and family she thinks might enjoy the read. In our opinion, Ms Bowen’s work belongs on bookshelves around the globe!

Digital classrooms

Seniors biggest winners in state funded social housing renewal project

By JOHN RYAN SOME Dubbo students have been the first to benefit from the initial rollout of the NSW Government’s $365.8 million Rural Access Gap investment, providing rural and regional schools access to the future of digital technology. Education minister Sarah Mitchell was in town visiting local students to mark the start of school and said she wants to see all students have access to the same educational facilities and opportunities no matter where they live. “I want every student learning at our schools in regional NSW to enjoy the same opportunities as their metro peers,” Ms Mitchell said. “This investment in technology will provide students and teachers learning in the regions with more opportunities than ever before. “Students can access subjects previously only available in larger schools, and teachers have additional support and a broad library of professional development options. Ms Mitchell said as someone who was educated in regional NSW, she knows how important and life-changing creating these opportunities can be and how important improving regional education is for our communities. The package will support more than 1000 regional and rural schools across the state with the very best digital teaching and learning tools including new de-

vices in the classroom for students, laptops for teachers and training for staff so that they can drive the best use out of this investment. Orana Heights Public School in Dubbo is one of the first schools to have their classrooms fitted with smart boards, five times

faster internet access, laptops for all teaching staff and additional student devices and Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said he’s excited to see 28 schools in the region equipped in the same way. “I am excited to see the delivery of the Rural Access Gap to our Dubbo students. We all know the

importance of technology, and it’s really exciting to see our country students have access to it,” Mr Saunders said. After being rolled out in Dubbo, the RAG will be provided to a further 81 schools in Term 2 this year, with the remaining schools upgraded by mid-2023.

OVER AND OUT

COMMERCIAL and residential construction is booming in Dubbo and now work is underway on a $4.6 million housing renewal project in Dubbo that is set to deliver new social homes, an improved streetscape and a boost for the local economy and jobs. Existing but ageing social housing dwellings in Jubilee Street are being replaced by a modern two-storey building that will provide 14 new homes for seniors in what’s hoped will be a vibrant community setting. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said its part of a state-wide plan to revitalise social housing, strengthen communities and support economic recovery from COVID-19. “There is a significant demand for seniors housing in the Dubbo local government area and this modern two-storey residential apartment building, with eight two-bedroom and six one-bedroom homes, will help meet this demand,” Mr Saunders said. Housing minister Melinda Pavey said the project will also support an estimated 23 jobs during construction, with the builder to prioritise spending on local businesses and trades to help bolster the local economy. “Across the Dubbo LGA, six projects are currently in progress with the combined potential to create around 46 social homes, 80 jobs and more than $15 million in construction activity,” Mrs Pavey said.

LOCAL LIFEGUARD

Saving lives for a living By LYDIA PEDRANA

Wellington and Geurie Aquatic coordinator Katie Austin said lifeguarding comes with an immense amount of pressure and responsibility. PHOTO: DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL

THEY are the unsung heroes of our community. Local pool lifeguards spend hours on end in the blistering heat monitoring patrons as they enjoy the water just in case something goes wrong. And if it does, they are ready to jump into action and respond to an emergency. Although popular reality TV show Bondi Rescue makes the job look sexy, local lifeguard Katie Austin gave some real-life insight into what is really involved in a day in the life of a lifeguard. “The pressure of keeping sometimes hundreds of people safe is definitely the most challenging part of the job,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “If something goes wrong, I am at the wheel, and the knowledge that at any moment I may have to spring into action and perform a complex rescue is something that is always on my mind. “Apart from performing rescues, which isn’t all that often, you will be tasked with managing the everyday running of the facility – letting people know they aren’t allowed to bomb, dive in the shallow end, or hang off the lane ropes won’t make you many friends, but that’s just the job.” Following in her father’s footsteps, Ms Austin worked as a casual

at her local pool for three years before landing a permanent role as Senior Pool Attendant. For the last four years, she has been the Wellington and Geurie Aquatic coordinator. She said a career in lifeguarding requires resilience, personality, dedication, and responsibility. “It can involve a lot of time standing and actively supervising different bodies of water, but if you aren’t watching the pool for one second, things can go very wrong,” she said. “It’s a role that demands dedication – people’s lives are in your hands.” What she enjoys most about the gig is being outdoors rather than chained to a desk and interacting with members of the local community on a daily basis. Having performed her fair share of lifesaving rescues in the past, Ms Austin described them as “scary and daunting”. “Usually, my mind just concentrates on my training and the steps I need to take to perform a safe rescue,” she explained. “A rush of adrenalin and knowing this situation is up to me to handle can become extremely stressful, that’s why I make sure I’m confident in my training and know exactly what to do in an emergency.” Aside from rescues, severe dust storms and ducks can also wreak havoc for pool staff. “It can sometimes take a whole

day to clear the bottom of the pool because automatic vacuums don’t pick up dirt,” Ms Austin said. “That means we have to vacuum the whole 50 metre pool by hand. “It’s always a bad day when ducks take a swim and leave their droppings in your freshly vacuumed pool.” On the flip side, a good day for Ms Austin is one that’s sunny, but not boiling hot, where all children have an adult in the water with them and the chlorine levels are spot on. As the mercury continues to rise and many are choosing to cool down with a dip, Ms Austin reminded people of the potentially fatal dangers water can pose. “Whether it’s at a public pool, home pool, a dam or lake, children aged zero to five must have an adult in the water with them at all times,” she said. “Likewise, children aged six to 12 should have an adult watching from the side of the pool as well. “Education is also really important; strong swimmers can and do drown, in both deep and shallow water. “Lifejackets don’t replace supervision; if children flip over in the water, they often can’t get back up. “It’s a misconception that someone will flail and cry if they’re drowning, more often, people will go under silently, and if no one is watching, unnoticed.”

ZOOKEEPING

Life is a zoo By JOHN RYAN MEL Friedman is a senior keeper at Taronga Western Plains Zoo and has clocked up 13 years at the Dubbo institution. She was overseas in the UK and looking for jobs back in Australia so applied at the zoo and was successful – since then she hasn’t looked back. Like so many other people who start out at Dubbo’s zoo, Mel doesn’t harbour any thoughts of leaving to go anywhere else. Here’s why. Take us through the different jobs you’ve done since you’ve been there. My main position is as one of the keeper’s and I’ve worked with multiple species including elephants, rhino, hippo, giraffe, lions, tigers, primates and meerkats. I also work in the accommodation side as a guide at Billabong Camp. Tell us about the people you work with, and do you socialise out of work hours?

I work with a wide range of people from our maintenance staff, other keepers, accommodation staff and they are all amazing people. My closest friends are the people I work with and we enjoy hanging out outside of work hours, I’ve even travelled overseas with some of them. There are people from all around the world in the workforce, what advantages do you see from that? It comes down to experience and different points of view. Having fresh eyes. Why do you believe it’s important the zoo has a strong culture of work health and safety and doing things right? Any workplace can potentially be a dangerous one if the procedures aren’t followed and that can be even more so at the zoo with all sorts of different things including dangerous animals, heavy equipment, storms etc. It’s a unique environment with many challenges but with everyone working together to make sure the workplace is safe, every-

one stays safe. How fulﬁlling is it to work at a place where there’s so much importance work happening all around you? It’s a really amazing thing to be a part of, especially when you have the opportunity to talk to people and get them to understand the amazing things that our organisation does not only here in Australia but all around the world. It’s even better when you forget and are reminded just how amazing it is to be part of such amazing and important work. Have you taken any advancement or leadership opportunities? As a senior keeper I am lucky to have the opportunity to supervise my unit when our supervisor is away or on days off. It really gives you a better understanding of management of people and all that that involves. Where do you hope to get to in the organisation? Right now, I am really happy with where I am. I have the best of both worlds dealing with the

animals and also helping to manage people at times. Tell us about your proudest moment at work. There are really so many over the years, but I guess the most recent was when our second litter of lion cubs were born back in 2017. Just watching them grow into amazing looking individuals and still being able to see how they

continually progress even though they have moved to another zoo. Its special to watch animals you have known from birth grow into successful adults. Also, I can’t go past the success we have had with breeding our Black-Handed Spider Monkeys. To say it’s a joy going onto the island and being able to interact with the babies is truly amazing.

Switched on By JOHN RYAN GEOFF Nicolson spent the early years of his life on a Mendooran farm before his parents decided to move to Dubbo and he said it was a culture shock moving to the relatively big smoke. Up until Year 12 he thought he’d end up in the audio engineering field but saw an electrical trade as a stable career. “I didn’t give it too much thought but knew there was always work for electricians,” Mr Nicholson told Dubbo Photo News. “I did my apprenticeship with two different businesses, a small business and a larger company. “I stayed with that company for eight years as a tradesman and then the opportunity came up to purchase an established small business that had been running in Dubbo for many years.” As soon as he started out on his own his wife Lynelle came up with the new company name. “I’ve got no idea how she thought

of the name Switch but I initially said to her that that name would definitely be taken because it’s too obvious and we looked it up on the ABN search and it was available, so we went for it,” he said, pointing out the importance of having a name that’s catchy and simple for clients and potential customers to remember. “We didn’t want to have our name on the business, personally I don’t like that, it ties you to it and it stops you from growing beyond a certain point, I think.” Some of those clients the Nicholson’s started with are still on their books and the size of the company workforce has expanded and contracted with the work demands. Now Switch Electrical and Data is looking for a qualified sparky and despite engaging two organisations to find a suitable candidate, electricians seem to be in very short supply. “We’ve got plans to grow and really need the tradesmen to let that happen so we’re kind of being held

back at the moment by the fact we can’t easily find anyone,” he said. “We’ve paid two recruitment agencies specially to find us a decent applicant but without much luck, we really want someone local who’ll really dig in and commit to the Dubbo area and be part of the team for several years. “I’ve never seen anything like this, you’ve always been able to talk to a few mates or the wholesalers or TAFE and someone generally knows someone available or

who’s new to town and looking for a job, but not at the moment.” Mr Nicolson said other tradies he’s talked to are in the same boat and he says that’s the downside of having such a low unemployment rate in the local area. And he believes much of the local shortage is because the Dubbo region is booming with large infrastructure projects as well as the bread-and-butter housing construction going along at high speed.

# DUBBO JOBS COUNTER

“Absolutely, some of the public work type funded projects, the operators have deep pockets, and they can pay a lot more than we can in smaller companies and I think that’s a definite factor,” he said. “The redevelopment of the infrastructure around town, the solar farm at Wellington, there’s mining going on in the region, the hospital redevelopment, it’s a definite factor in the shortage of tradies around town.”

WHEN I was a boy, I loved going fishing and camping with Uncle Bill and talking to him about my dad. He was always there for me when I was sad. He makes me laugh. He is the best uncle in the world, and he is my best friend. I love to spend time with my family at camp. I love to play basketball because Kobe Bryant played it and he is a legend. He was a loving father and a loving husband to his family. He and his daughter died in a helicopter crash. They will be remembered, and they will be missed.

I have captured my personal experience of a back condition ‘Scoliosis’ by incorporating my x-ray post-surgery. While gruesome, the rods and screws have been placed to strengthen and straighten my spine and alleviate pain. The connection with the land is also a personal experience as my nan has been impacted by the drought. During this time the farm was seen to be at its worst. This year has been a year of growth and rejuvenation of the farm. Large amounts of rainfall have changed the earth from a broken landscape, strengthening it to once again prosper. I have incorporated reference to the Japanese practice of Kintsugi “golden repair”. Cracks in pottery are filled with gold. To me this symbolises celebrating imperfections and the concept of acceptance of change. The gold has been

TAURUS: At work, you’ll be so successful your boss won’t have a choice but to offer you a raise to ensure you don’t take an offer elsewhere. You’ll be quite proud of yourself. GEMINI: You’ll contemplate existential questions, and you’ll feel the need to make some big changes in your life. You’ll follow through on commitments in your relationship. CANCER: You’ll be able to come to an understanding with certain people in your life after an argument. You’ll show great wisdom in handling the situation, which should probably be dealt with sooner rather than later. LEO: You’ll have a very stimulating week at work. However, be careful not to set unrealistically high expectations for yourself, otherwise,

success might elude you. Tensions might build among your co-workers. VIRGO: You’ll be the focus of everyone’s attention, so expect to receive some applause and recognition for your achievements. It’ll be a situation that gives you a substantial conﬁdence boost. LIBRA: You might have to spend a day at home twiddling your thumbs, perhaps waiting for a delivery. The situation could prompt you to reassess the decor in a few rooms of your home.

Make sure your GPS app is up to date, as it’ll prove to be a valuable resource. SAGITTARIUS: No one likes having to tighten their belt, and

that’s exactly what motivates you to correct a bad financial situation. You’ll take all the necessary steps as soon as you figure out the best course of action. CAPRICORN: In addition to it being a hectic week, you’ll have to fill a variety of obligations that take up most of your time. Fortunately, you know how to stay organised in this type of situation. AQUARIUS: The arrival of a mild illness will signal that your body needs time to rest and recharge. You’ll worry about many small things. Learning how to meditate or relax another way would do you good. PISCES: A group of people you’re in charge of will expect you to take the lead on everything. You’ll have a lot of managing to do. Embrace your role and don’t be afraid to assert yourself. The luckiest signs this week: Aries, Taurus and Pisces.

Call for carers to be in COVID-19 vaccine priority group

Dubbo region writers invited to join Orana Writers’ Hub

CARERS Australia is continuing to call on the Federal Government to include unpaid carers as a priority group to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Carers Australia say they have communicated the concerns to the Federal Government and are working with different areas of government, particularly disability and aged care, to advocate for carers. “Including carers as a priority group will help protect those who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, while recognizing that many carers are also in high-risk categories themselves,” said CEO of Carers Australia, Liz Callaghan.

WRITERS of all ages and stages are invited to a monthly meeting of wordsmiths called the Orana Writers’ Hub and run by the Outback Writers’ Centre (OWC). OWC Members will meet at 10am to 1pm, on Saturday, February 6 at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, Community Arts Centre, Music Room. Each month attendees can bring an optional 300-word piece to share. The theme for February 6 is ‘Entanglement’. OWC memberships are $30 per annum.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

MOTORCYCLES

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY AFTER a fantastic initial event in 2019 and a forced cancellation because of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, organisers of the Dubbo Motor Bike Rally say safety concerns and the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic have once again caused a cancellation, with the scheduled 2021 event called off, earlier this week. The Motor Bike Rally is the brainchild of former po-

lice superintendent Stan Single and he told Dubbo Photo News it was unfortunate the organising committee had to once again pull the pin. “Unfortunately, the Rally cannot proceed due to the limitations of the current public health order and the risk of further outbreaks and lockdowns leading up to the Rally date in May,” Mr Single said. “Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our community and everyone involved including part-

ners, sponsors and event attendees.” Mr Single said although the committee is incredibly disappointed, its important event organisers support government initiatives to contain the spread of this infectious disease. “We acknowledge the effect this will have on businesses and the disruption to people's plans and we really regret this – unfortunately this situation is unprecedented and out of our control,” he said.

“Dubbo Motor Bike Rally wishes to thank the Mayor Ben Shields and the Dubbo Regional Council for their outstanding support and financial assistance to ensure the continuation of this event. We look forward to bringing the region a fantastic non restricted event in 2022, following the impact of the vaccine and other government measures to control the spread of the virus. “Dubbo still remains a tremendous bike destination. It’s all about the ride!”

Macquarie Anglican Grammar embraces Canva in the classrooms THE Macquarie Anglican Grammar School has embraced edtech and online design platform, Canva, to take their classrooms and learning to a whole new level this year. Dubbo local and Head of the Junior school Keera Job explains how she’s using Australian start-up, Canva in the classroom to get her students excited for the year ahead. The platform is free for teachers and their students to use and indicative of the school looking for tools to keep their students on the front foot.

MANY of the city’s casual runners and walkers were feeling lost when COVID-9 restrictions caused the cancellation of the incredibly popular Parkrun for months over the course of 2020. Dubbo Photo News caught up with Dubbo Parkrun founder Miriam Tan to find out just how much this event has been appreciated by participants and volunteer organisers since it started back up. Dubbo Parkrun is back on; how did it go? We were a bit nervous at the start, there were a few COVID19 related changes. However, it all went smoothly, and the community were very understanding! The weather has been quite mild for this time of year, so we were glad not to start back too warm! How long had it been suspended? Since March 2020, about 40 weeks. Talk us through the process you had to go through to get the event up and ‘running’ again. Parkrun Australia had developed a COVID19 framework that had to be submitted to NSW Health and approved by the Minister for Health and Medical Research. It included details about how events needed to run. We then needed approval from the local

landowner, so for us it was Dubbo Regional Council. They were very quick to approve our relaunch which it’s always great to have their support. What sort of reactions did you get from participants? On the day there was a real buzz, we had so many comments from participants how they were excited to be back! How many people showed up? 308, one of our highest December attendance. December is historically quiet for us, Christmas parties and the heat! We had 414 last week which is a January record for us, who knows what 2021 will bring. How many volunteers on the day and where did they come from – any particular group or

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH JUNE WILSON Retired English teacher Julie Wilson started volunteering as a student and continues on that path today. She wears a few volunteering hats even including one built on her 47 years of teaching, through a class at the University of the Third Age (U3A). How long have you been volunteering? It started when I was in high school at Sydney Girls’ High. We joined Sydney Boys’ High and had what we called an International Club where we raised money for international causes. Then, when I started teaching, I was the foundation secretary for the Orana Education Centre. We wrote the submissions, got the money. I even signed the cheque to buy the premises. I volunteered with the English Teachers’ Association (ETA) all through my teaching career and ended up as vice president of ETA NSW, so did a lot of work with them. Now I’m on the committee for the Sydney University Alumni, I do Community Kitchen and I’m a Legatee for Legacy.

Sponsored by

Do you find volunteering time consuming? None of the jobs takes up a lot of time. You’re just doing a bit here and a bit there and its usually because someone asks you. Something like Community Kitchen is one night a month, and you go down and help with the meals. That’s not arduous. With U3A, it’s one meeting a month and I give two classes a month. That’s not huge. Sydney Uni Alumni has one event a year, so we organise with three or four meetings and phone calls, fronting up and doing a bit. None of its tough, unless you’re the secretary or the president! With Legacy, I just keep in touch with my five or six ladies I’ve got, my widows, and check they’re all right, and we take them out a couple of times a year. What do you personally take away from volunteering? The people you meet and the people you work with make it so worthwhile. The people who volunteer with you are always lovely. The people that you

organisation? We rely on 12 volunteers each week, and we filled the volunteer roster for our relaunch within a few hours’ notice which was very humbling. It showed people missed not only participating but volunteering as well. We have a few groups booked in already: teachers, tennis club and a soccer club. What was the reaction from the volunteers? We now have a seven week wait for volunteer spots, so we are very overwhelmed by the support! 2021 is a year we’re being told we have to be constantly vigilant when it comes to CoVid, how do you see things playing out regarding the Parkrun? Given it is outside, that is a good

start! Good ventilation. We had to make such things as the QR code as well as reducing briefing times and changing the start/finish to reduce the mingling time. As long as the outside community events restrictions stay over 1,000 people (currently the restriction is 3,000) we can safely participate. Participating in exercise, getting outside and being part of the community is more important than ever, considering the pandemic situation to keep the population healthy. We are so glad to be back Parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5km run or walk organised by the community for the community. Register online and join us every Saturday morning at Sandy Beach Park!

IT’S A RECORD! Twelve siblings born in Pakistan have broken the Guinness World Record for the highest combined age, 12 siblings, with their ages totalling 1042 years and 315 days as of December 15. The D’Cruz family always knew their impressive size was quite unique, but none of them ever expected to break a record. They were all born to parents Michael and Cecilia in Karachi, Pakistan, but now live around the world in Switzerland, Canada and the US. The siblings’ ages range from 75 to 97. The ﬁrst born into the family was Doreen, on September 3, 1923. A very close knit family, they try to meet up at least three times a year.

deal with are usually so happy to be there and be part of it. The class I teach at U3A is the most perfectly behaved class I’ve ever had! What do you do at U3A? I teach a class called, “Escape into Books”. It’s a semi-book club idea. I do a presentation for the first half of the class, where I teach them as if I’m teaching my Year 12 English class, about the writing style, the structure of the book we’re talking about and the language features, that sort of thing. In the second half of the class, we talk about all the books we’ve been reading and share ideas and swap titles and books. My other role is registrar which involves keeping a data base of all the members, names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. It’s a busy time now because we’ve had enrolments which I’ve helped with and then I type up the information. We’ve got over 400 members doing multiple courses. For example, I’m learning Painting for Pleasure, Art History and later in the year, I’m going to help with a new class in ceramics. We are always looking for new teachers. Why did you get involved? After I retired from teaching in Dubbo for 47 years, I thought I’d like to do some painting. So, I joined U3A and went to Nola Younghusband’s Painting for Pleasure class. She asked me would I consider going on the U3A committee which I did because I’ve got the time now, so why not? Then, John Summers, who was an ex-school principal and had been running a literature course for many, many years, had a stroke and couldn’t continue teaching. I was asked to take over his class, but I declined because I said I can’t be John, so I offered to put together a class that involves reading books and literature. Membership to the University of the Third Age is $20 a year, which gives access to as many classes as a student wishes. Volunteer teachers at U3A are needed.

Dubbo Photo News February 4-10, 2021 DUBBO RAIL 140 YEARS

Phasing out of steam trains has a Dubbo link By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

DUBBO Photo News’ almost resident historian, Patrick Bourke, contacted the paper last week after reading about the Dubbo Railway’s 140th anniversary. “I read with interest your article about the Dubbo Railway Station. Like many people living in Dubbo in the 1960s I remember the stream trains, the train trips to Sydney for holidays and the train trips to Orange and Bathurst for the Astley Cup. “I think your readers would be interested to know that Neal McCusker CBE, an ex-student

of Dubbo High School, was the Commissioner for NSW Railways from 1956 to 1972,” Mr Bourke said. Awarded a CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in 1959 meant Mr McCusker was one step down from being knighted. Born in 1907, he joined NSW Railways aged 16 at Byrock, west of Dubbo. His father John was station master there. Mr McCusker then rose through the ranks of station master, staff inspector, executive officer to the Commissioner for Railways and

By LYDIA PEDRANA PROOF is in the pudding when it comes to the local community craving a hit of live entertainment. Ticket sales for productions at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) are returning to normal with several upcoming shows either completely, or almost, sold out. DRTCC Manager Linda Christof said signs of consumer confidence began to resurface at the end of 2020 with five sell out shows, including touring productions and local dance concerts. “We attribute this to no reported COVID cases in our region since April together with the stringent safety measures in place at DRTCC,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “We are delighted that our community feels comfortable to return to the theatre and enjoy live entertainment again.” In the coming months, Anh Do’s live show The Happiest Refugee has reached full capacity, and full houses are also expected for Mark Vincent, John Williamson and family shows Midnight Gang and Bluey’s Big Play. Ms Christof believes 2021’s strong ticket sales indicate people are ready to interact face-to-face again. “People have been subjected to so much screen time during 2020 that they crave the magic of a spacious theatre environment to enjoy live entertainment and catch up with friends,” she said. “We are also noticing growing confidence among producers and touring companies who are now re-activating their regional tours. “Furthermore, COVID-19 restrictions are slowly easing which means we can currently accommodate over 400 people in the theatre.” The DRTCC is offering 2021 season subscriber packages which includes discounted ticket rates up until January 29.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Have you had your car stolen lately?

THERE’S been a spate of motor vehicle and motorbike thefts lately and some of the thefts have been beyond brazen, showing the perpetrating crooks just don’t care, or their bodies are operating under the care of substances which human bodies really shouldn’t be ingesting. Some thefts have been made just that little bit easier because the crims have either found the car keys inside the vehicle, or in a readily accessible place after they’ve broken into homes – I’ve certainly been guilty of leaving keys in easy to find places. But it’s this sort of thing that police are pleading with the general public not to do – there is no way to have a cop on every corner, or inside your home to ensure you hide the keys every night, but if we all take some fairly simple precautions, we’ll collectively make it far more difficult for these scum to do what they do. Here’s what the police told me: “Orana Mid-Western PD has recently experienced an increase in stolen motor vehicles and steal from motor vehicles over the last month. In some instances, police have become engaged in pursuits that are terminated due to dangerous driving. These practices impact the community and police are concerned that someone may be seriously injured if these crimes continue. “Police remind the community to be vigilant in securing their vehicles and homes, as there are multiple reported incidents whereby vehicles and homes have been left unlocked and personal items not secured. “We continue to seek information from the community to assist with our investigations, whether it is CCTV or witnesses, via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or by calling your local police station.” Here’s an excerpt from the January crime figures for Orana Mid-Western: z Steal motor vehicles – 26 z Steal from motor vehicles – 55 So, when you get home, lock up your vehicles and throw away the keys, or at least throw them into a good hiding spot that won’t be apparent to a criminal in a rush to find an easy mark.

Stats of crime I’VE also asked police to find me some data on who’s actually causing this current spike in motor vehicle theft. My sources in the community tell me there are a few out-oftowners running amok in Dubbo and stirring up some of the local crims, but I’m particularly interested in the percentage of crime police believe is being perpetrated by recidivist offenders who are committing these crimes while on court bail pending judgements on other alleged crimes. Too often we see local courts allow career crooks to get out on the street to commit more crimes while they’re waiting to find out if they’re going to jail for previous crimes. I get it that many people have had the crap end of the stick in their lives, and I sympathise with that, but letting them just continuously ruin the lives of other, law-abiding citizens isn’t going to help them, or anyone else.

IN BRIEF

Small business subbies to get paid faster under NSW Govt program THE Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell has commended the NSW Government for its new pilot program that will see some small business subcontractors get paid in 20 business days. The pilot program, which runs until June, signals the NSW’s government’s commitment to faster payment times down the supply chain. It follows the introduction of the NSW Faster Payments Policy in 2018, which ensures small businesses directly contracted by the NSW Government are paid in five business days. “Fast-tracking payments to small businesses is the best way to help them recover after what has been an incredibly tough 12 months. “This initiative will benefit small business suppliers and will also flow through to the broader economy,” Ms Carnell said.

PETER Bradley is 93 years old and he’s been married for 71 of them. Mr Bradley was one of the shed’s earliest members and he’s had many different phases of his life including as a farmer, wool classer, businessman and he’s also a former Cobar Shire Councillor. Married to Elsie, together they have six children, 14 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Peter’s son-in-law was a founding member of the Dubbo Community Men’s Shed. A decade ago, Peter Bradley shared his life’s story with journalist Kathy Stone who wrote the acclaimed book “A Shed Load of Stories” for the Dubbo Community Men’s Shed, profiling many of the initial members and showing how the shed had had a profoundly positive impact on their lives. He grew up on a property near Lake Cargelligo and went to school at Yelkin, a hamlet that now exists in name only, the family forced off the farm during the Great Depression of the early 1930s. Peter moved to Sydney at 16 to become a wool classer. “I’d never even been on a train before. I had a little bit saved and my mother put it in my pocket with a safety pin through it,” he said in the book. “She was telling me about people who would pinch my money and here I was wearing a big

safety pin. It was very obvious. It immediately told everyone there was something in my pocket worth stealing.” He started playing football and tennis and got into body surfing, joining South Steyne Surf Club, got his bronze medallion, became a lifesaver and made friends with Rex Mossop. Peter played for the North Sydney Bears and got picked for the Under-21 President’s Cup. “I was doing wool classing at night and working for the Grazcos Wool Brokers during the day. Life was full,” he said. “Down at Mosman Bay there was a hall they called The Barn – a great old whaling building made of big convict bricks. It was taken over by the younger set and we used to have dances there every Saturday evening. “That’s where I met my wifeto-be Elsie. She was as pretty as a spotted pony, just eighteen and working in a bank.” Peter knew he didn’t have a future in the city, so the couple headed for Cobar where his parents had settled, arriving with their first child, a refrigerator and a baby’s bassinet. “For the first six months we stayed with Mum and Dad and then rented a little fibro mining cottage for forty-six shillings a week. Well, you can imagine what that was like for a city girl from Cremorne, nappies, irregular electricity supply and red wa-

ter,” he said. In 1962, after doing well as a shearing contractor and wool buyer, he bought the 16,000-acre property “Shearlegs” giving away contracting in 1974 and ending up with a total of 80,000 acres of country. Peter stopped working the land in 2003 and the couple moved to Dubbo to be closer to doctors and services. “All those years in Cobar we lived in the same old house in town and never on the properties. After sixty years at the same

address moving was a hard decision,” he said. “We had nice neighbours in Cobar but as time passed things changed. I was 80 by then and a lot of my old mates had already died and those nice neighbours, well I had outlived most of them. “So, we moved here and not long afterwards I started going to the Men’s Shed.” The blokes at the Men’s Shed presented Peter with their own Australia Day award to recognise his input to the organisation.

BOOK FAIR This photo shows just some of the books which were dropped off by members of the public at the January 28 working bee. PHOTO:

All booked in By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S Rotary Book Fair is still months away yet already the 2021 even looks like being a standout success. Dubbo Photo News ran a story a couple of weeks ago urging locals to drop their unused books off at a working bee run by volunteers last weekend and the results well and truly outshone any expectations. Book Fair Coordinator Peter English reported getting “smashed”, in a

good way, by the response from the public who were forced to negotiate traffic jams occurring all day. The super-generous donations of books from the public filled seven large wooden pallets and 17 smaller cardboard pallet boxes. (For a sense of scale, a wooden pallet takes about 600 books and the smaller cardboard pallet boxes take about 300 books). That’s a total of 9,300 books donated in one day – an amazing response from

the Dubbo community. Book Fair publicity officer Peter Bartley says the success of the collection day is a double-edged sword. “It now presents us with

a little bit of a dilemma. All of our storage space, two sheds spilling into a third, are full of books,” Mr Bartley told Photo News. “We have no more room to accept and store any

more books until the Book Fair weekend of May 1 and 2. We are therefore asking the public to once again hold their books until our set up day on Friday, April 30, 2021 when they can drop off their books all day to their heart’s content at the Centenary Pavilion at the Dubbo Showground.” What fantastic support this is every year for such a vital community organisation, the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie.

WELLINGTON NEWS FATHER TIM FAREWELLED

OVERCOMING ADDICTION The late Father Tim Cahill will surely be missed by communities far and wide.

Making a difference

By NATALIE LEWIS

By NATALIE LEWIS A WELL-RESPECTED clergyman has been farewelled by the Wellington community with a funeral service at St Patrick’s Catholic Church on January 22. Always larger than life, Father Tim Cahill touched both hearts and minds during his lifetime and through his vocation, with many years spent as the parish priest in the town of his childhood. Tim was one of seven children born to Irene and Jim Cahill who were both teachers in the Wellington and Nanima community and lived at Apsley. From an early age, he aspired to the priesthood and showed empathy and compassion to those around him. In a eulogy to his brother, Sean Cahill said this even extended to overseeing funeral services for small creatures found in their backyard. As a child, he loved to sing hymns and play music and was a self-taught instrumentalist. During his youth, Tim attended many eisteddfods and Sean said it was most likely that he had played every organ this side of the Blue Mountains. After completing his schooling, he was inspired by his Uncle Fr Maurice Cahill of the Hunter Diocese to enter the seminary. But Tim’s parents insisted that he gain some life experience which resulted in a year spent living in France teaching English followed by the study of ancient and modern languages, linguistics and music at the University of New England where he attended St Albert’s College. “He was academically gifted and had a flair for languages. He also had a love of France which extended to motor vehicles, par-

Fr Tim’s timeline: ticularly the Peugot,” Sean told the congregation which, due to COVID restrictions, was mainly composed of family and fellow clergy including Fr Carl Mackander who knew Fr Tim for the entirety of his 35 years as a priest. His colleague began his Ministry as a priest in Bathurst, and as a chaplain at Mitchell College. “He was a parish priest in Dunedoo, Coolah and Wellington, assistant priest in Cowra, and finished up in a chaplaincy role in the House of Prayer, Carcoar, serving Blayney and Millthorpe.” He described Fr Tim as a gregarious character, who was always up for a chat, food and drink. He also loved to laugh and have philosophical discussions. “There are many stories where he’s enjoyed being with people. He touched a lot of lives and many people knew him. “His ministry as a priest was often on the fringes of church and society. Where there was a person in need, he was giving 110 per cent to that person.” Fr Tim was also a man of big ideas who was sometimes challenged to put them into effect. “He intended to build a bottle house at Wattle Flat,” Fr Carl said.

“He collected bottles from many wine-drinking parties – 25 years later and the bottles are still there.” In some ways, Fr Tim was a boy who never quite grew up. “He had a childlike approach to life. As a youngster he once pulled apart the pipe organ at St Patrick’s and he was famous for running late. He didn’t keep deadlines very well.” Following his farewell mass which was virtually attended by mourners across Wellington and Yeoval and live streamed to YouTube, a guard of honour was formed along Percy St for Fr Tim’s final journey prior to interment at Carcoar. In what was surely his last laugh, the hearse carrying Fr Tim to his final resting place arrived early at the cemetery, even before the burial plot was ready. In his honour, a book of ‘Tim Tales’ is also in the pipeline. Literary offerings can be sent to mytimtale@gmail.com

AFTER 20 years of drug addiction, Melissa Whitton is on the road to recovery and has returned to her home town of Wellington to help others facing the same battle. Miss Whitton was in custody until mid-January and says her turning point came at a time traditionally associated with family and togetherness. “It was Christmas Day, that was the turning point for me. I was thinking of family back home, missing out on grandkids opening up presents. I made a promise to myself to get on the straight and narrow. “Part of my bail conditions is to have drug and alcohol counselling,” she explained. “I noticed that there weren’t enough facilities for people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. In a town known for its drug culture, Miss Whitton was disappointed by the level of support for those facing the challenge of overcoming drug addiction. “When you’re an addict, it’s hard to admit you’re an addict. Its even harder to acknowledge a problem,” she said. “My plan is to start an NA (Narcotics Anonymous) meeting. There’s only AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) in Dubbo and nothing like this in Wellington. “With somewhere there’s a lot of drugs, there should be somewhere to get help. It’s even hard to ask people for help. A lot of people are in denial. The only way to help someone is if you’ve lived it.” Over the years, Miss Whitton has struggled with the loss of loved ones and her own addictions which began when she was just 18. She hopes to turn that around by making a positive start in her home town. “It’s been 30 years since I lived here but my aim is to make a difference. “I’m not doing this to stay out of jail or trouble. I’m doing this to save my life. My life has been a roller coaster.” Miss Whitton hopes to help families and individuals caught up in the spiral of addiction. “People know that Wellington needs something. A lot of the addicts know me really well. I’m hoping to make a difference in someone else’s

life. My passion is to work with families. I can tell my story to other addicts and their families. It gives them a better understanding. It’s hard on families.” In sharing her story on social media and to local agencies, Miss Whitton received overwhelming support, including from local health and community services who want to help achieve her goal. “The support I’ve been getting here in Wellington, it’s been overwhelming, it hasn’t sunk in yet,” she said. “For over 20 years, I have struggled with drug addiction and I’ve said that I would get clean. But I never thought I’d change my life around. I’ve been here for a week and I wanted to get my story out there. “I want to help others by healing. I’m hoping to bring some light to Wellington for the addicts that are here. I know what they are going through. Ice is a hard drug to break away from. Wellington needs somebody on the ground and my children need to see me clean and sober.”

Thanks to Eric, the show will go on THE carnival is over for long-time Dubbo Show Society secretary and supporter Eric Parker who has passed away at the age of 88. Eric was well known for his tireless work for the show movement being awarded an OAM in 2006 and his life of service to his communities was recognised with five organisations honouring him with life membership. The Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) of NSW, Dubbo Show Society, Dubbo Harness Racing Club, Crookwell Apex Club and Western District Exhibit, of which he was also a patron, benefitted from Eric’s business acumen and commitment. While receiving his OAM from Governor Marie Bashir was undoubtedly a very proud moment, Eric, always a team player, was quick to point out that it was a culmination of the efforts of many and he took great pride in knowing his peers thought so highly of him to nominate him for the honour. The pillars of Eric’s life were family, the show movement, sport and community service – he made time for them all. While accolades flow from the organisations in which he was involved, his family have wonderful memories of lives blessed having been embraced by such a caring and compassionate man. Daughter Barbara Kopp said Eric had always been her rock and had always been there for her. A formidable team their special bond would never be broken. “A wonderful grandad to my children, dad embraced their passions of sport and animals spending many a weekend on the sidelines at a soccer match proudly watching Cameron or helping feed the many animal babies Kayla would bring home. It was a privilege to love and be loved by him,’’ she said. Grandson Cameron Kopp told of his love for his grandad describing

him as ‘his best mate’. “Grandad and I had a connection like no other, we just got each other,’’ he said. “We shared a special passion for sport, but our favourite was rugby league. He loved to watch me play soccer and was always there to clean my boots or massage sore muscles as we shared stories from his sporting days. “Grandad had the greatest little smile, a smile that I hold so close to my heart, a smile that I picture every day, and a smile that I will never forget.’’ Eric was born in Crookwell on April 25 1932. The son of Bill and Una Parker, the family had strong ties to the small community. Granddaughter Kayla Kopp told those gathered at Dubbo’s Holy Trinity Anglican Church to celebrate her grandad’s life how he spent many years as a church warden, and he and his mother made a formidable team fundraising for a new church. It appeared Eric, from a young age, was destined to follow in his mother’s footsteps. His first steps were taken at the Sydney Show as his mother worked on the Southern District Exhibit, with Eric later providing years of service to the Western District Exhibit. His mother’s tireless volunteer work for the Crookwell community saw her receive a British Empire Medal and she was no doubt an incredible role model for her young son who would selflessly go on to give so much to his family and community. Daughter Sandra Parker said running onto the hockey field was a foregone conclusion with both of Eric’s parents heavily involved in the game. “An elite sportsman, dad was selected to represent NSW in both junior and senior teams with the pinnacle of his career being selected in the hockey training squad for selection for the 1956

Melbourne Olympics. A sporting all-rounder he also played rugby league, cricket, golf and bowls at the Macquarie Club where he also held the position of secretary and lent a hand helping neighbouring Bracken House,’’ she said. “Everyone loved dad... he genuinely was one of nature’s true gentlemen.’’ Eric spent two years at Hawkesbury Agriculture College after being awarded a scholarship then worked as a rates clerk at Crookwell Shire Council from 1949. He married Marie Hawkins in 1958 and set about creating the first of many immaculate flower and vegetable gardens in their new home. His ‘girls’ Sandra and Barbara arrived in 1960 and 1966. Eric volunteered with Apex, helping raise funds for community projects and pursued his love of livestock running a few cattle on agistment in Crookwell. A move to Dubbo came in 1975 when Eric saw an advertisement while manning the radio during a massive bushfire outbreak. He applied for the job of Dubbo show secretary and manager and the rest is history. During his 21 years in that position he spearheaded many changes with his infectious enthusiasm, including procuring a new stock pavilion, expo centre, cattle shed and harness racing track. He was instrumental in establishing the monthly Dubbo market days and devoted time to the Dubbo National Shorthorn Show and Sale committee as secretary and volunteer. On his retirement Eric busied himself helping his successor, Sue Hood, in the office and working as chief pavilion steward, always already to lend a hand. The ‘girls’ in the office describing him as the ‘best boss ever’. Eric’s wife Marie passed away in 2013 and in recent years Eric spent time living with his fami-

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Attacks on the date for Australia Day The Editor, In view of the increasing attack on Australia Day by various sections of the community, some observations could be pertinent. Australian society cannot be too bad, or we would not be seeing so many wanting to come here legally or illegally. Would the Indigenous be better off now if Japan had succeeded in defeating Australia in the early 1940s, and will they be better off in the near future with the possibility of total Chinese Communist Party control? Martin Penny

Wetlands disappearing ‘at an alarming rate’ Dear Editor, Wetlands in NSW are disappearing at an alarming rate. According to government data, NSW had 110,000 hectares of wetlands in 2017, half the historical average. Climate change, drought and water greed for crops like cotton are killing these wildlife hotspots and priceless water purification systems. They are some of the most important ecosystems on earth, and yet we treat them like irrigation ditches, or worse, drain them to create sheep paddocks. The western regions of NSW are blessed with some of the most important wetlands in the world. Some, like the Macquarie Marshes, are already listed on the register of internationally significant wetlands under the Ramsar Convention. Others, like the Menindee Lakes near Broken Hill, still are not. Worse still, the lakes are being pushed closer to the brink of ecological collapse with engineering works planned that would prevent the lakes filling and emptying naturally ever again. The government is perpetrating this vandalism so corporate irrigators at the top of the catchment can keep siphoning off vast volumes of water for crops such as cotton. Enough is enough. As we mark World Wetlands Day and the 50th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention this week, we call on the

NSW Government to nominate the lakes for Ramsar listing. This would not only have tremendous symbolic power, it would also trigger better protections for these fragile ecosystems and a more ecologically sensitive approach to the critical issue of water management. Ramsar listing would also boost the economy by stimulating tourism, investment and much-needed jobs in one of the country’s most disadvantaged regions. Chris Gambian, Chief Executive, Nature Conservation Council of NSW

Cancer prevention and screening remain vital The Editor, New data from Cancer Council NSW has shown that 107,000 Australian lives have been saved thanks to improvements in cancer prevention, early detection, screening and treatment over the past 20 years. This is incredibly encouraging news, however, whilst death rates are down, the number of people being diagnosed with cancer has risen. Therefore, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of cancer prevention and screening programs. During the peak of the 2020 lockdown, we saw disruptions to existing cancer services – in particular, Medicare services for the diagnosis of breast cancer were down almost 40 per cent – and we still don’t know the impact this may have had on future cancer rates. With this in mind, I’d like to encourage people across NSW to look after themselves by living a healthy lifestyle, prioritising their health and making sure they are participating in any relevant screening programs. If you, or anyone you know has a question about anything to do with cancer or would like to know what this means for you, call Cancer Council’s free, confidential Information and Support line on 13 11 20 or visit our website at www.cancercouncil.com. au.

Happy and healthy 100 Contributed by GWEN’S GREAT, GREAT NIECE, BROOKE CHANDLER THURSDAY the January 28 marked the 100th birthday of wife, mother and well-known Narromine local, Gwenda Mary Bourchier (nee Connell). Gwen, as she is often referred to, celebrated this milestone in her home of 70 years, surrounded by her four children and extended family. The daughter of Dubbo butcher James Connell and his wife, Eileen Houlahan, Gwen moved to Narromine, spending her days as a stay-at-home mother and wife to light horseman, Claude Bourchier. Gwen is a valued asset to her family and surrounding community and was once dubbed by a local newspaper as one of Narromine’s most popular ladies. Even after her husband’s death

in 1983, Gwen ran the Narromine Taxi Service. In “true Gwen style”, according to her daughter Roslyn Walsh, Gwen did not conclude her work as a taxi driver until she gave up her driver’s license at the age of 92. “Everyone remembers Mum and her late arrival to her 90th birthday party. She was too busy picking up the ‘oldies’ and taking them to her party,” recalled Roslyn. “She has always done everything for everybody else. As a child, I re-

member her travelling on a push bike to set the hair of fellow Narromine residents.” Gwen’s efforts have not gone unnoticed, winning the Australia Day award for local citizen of the year 1987 as well as the 2015 lifetime membership award for St Vincent’s De Paul for 50 years of service. The 1998 Community Good Deed Award for the Orana Region recognised Gwen’s excellence as a pianist.

Family friend, Norma Meadley, said when she thinks of Gwen, she thinks of music. “She is remembered in town as the music lady because she would visit day-care centres and RSL clubs just to sing and play the piano. Gwen is so special; she can play a song by ear,” she said. Gwen wasn’t getting too excited by it all. “When asked the secret to a long life, I always say to keep things simple and live happily,” she said.

David Horan from the Australian Kiteflyers Society sent in this great photo of the Aussie flag flying over Dubbo as the change moved in during the afternoon on January 26. It certainly dwarfed the city’s highest flagpoles and it was visible for kilometres in all directions.

Surrounded by beauty 13-year-old Tully Millar has begun looking at things around her through the lens of her very ﬁrst camera. She’s chosen to share two of her ﬁrst images with readers of Dubbo Photo News. Above: Beauty in an old Thames – hanging out for a night of spin. Right: Sunset silhouette, no words necessary.

Cheryl Crossingham sent in this photo of Kyra, Kade & Kala Squires trying to cool off in the heat. While Dubbo has experienced plenty of unseasonal, and welcome, cooler days this summer, there’s still been plenty of weather which has sent locals looking for the best way to drop their body temperatures.

Macquarie Club wants to sponsor your sports team

ADVERTORIAL

It never takes long for a good sports team to become an extended family to its players’ families so it’s important to have a place to call home. The Macquarie Club is now offering sponsorship to sporting teams. Whether your members are 8 or 80, so are the Macquarie Clubs’, which is used to catering for the needs of all. Well suited for keeping the family and kids entertained playing tennis or barefoot bowls, while your formal committee meeting is on inside, we also cater for bringing you all together for a dine in Chinese meal or head outside to cook up a storm on a barbecue. In the very near future barbecues will be enjoyed on a new decking at the back of the Macquarie Club, offering big sky sunsets, contemporary décor and the chance to unwind with food, live entertainment and maybe kick off the shoes for some twilight barefoot bowls. “The Macquarie Club has big plans for the future,” secretary manager Elouise Downey said. “We’re at the point of being able to expand to cater for everybody. Ultimately once we get the deck it’ll be about the size of the current club; it’ll be nearly 200 square metres. “It will be covered but still able to get some western sun. People can go outside and perhaps have a Chinese meal out there, or

a barbecue. You’ll be able to watch bowls in comfort and it lends itself very well to have entertainment out there - and we haven’t had entertainment here for years,” Elouise said. Nor have there been extensive renovations, until now. “In the restaurant we’ve put new ceilings in, throughout the club, we’re getting new furniture. We’ve put carpet in and we’re painting, there’ll be more automation of our services. “By July we’ll have all the furniture replaced, we’ll have got a new bar done, we’ll make further improvements, and we’ve got a DA for the back deck. We just want the club to cater to the needs of everyone.” The wholesale improvements are in part due WR PHPEHUVKLSV JURZLQJ VLJQLƓFDQWO\ LQ WKH last couple of years. “We’re always learning,” Elouise said. “We have no limitations. The bigger the club the better, and we’ll go out there and cater for our members and sporting teams. Imagine the Macquarie United Football Club Dubbo being a member at the Macquarie Club on Macquarie Street. That’s a statement!” she said. “We’re also the kind of club where the board doesn’t own the club, the members do. It’s all about them.”

BOWLING

Bowling them over

By FRANCES ROWLEY THE world’s richest bowling tournament is set to be held at Club Dubbo next October and as well as being set up to attract some of the nation’s best bowlers, the event is also aimed to benefit the entire community according to Club Dubbo chairman Tony Speirs. He said the three main aims of the event are to promote the City of Dubbo and the region, promote Club Dubbo as a premium entertainment and hospitality venue and promote the game of bowls to a larger, mostly unaware audience. “One of the motivations of staging the tournament is to attract people to Dubbo and to our club, but to Dubbo as a region,” Mr Speirs told Dubbo Photo News. “It’s the biggest in the world and the richest tournament for fours and my expectation is to hopefully play against some of the elite players in the game.” A maximum of 42 teams can enter the event (168 players) and with their

families and support crews Mr Speirs believes there will be upwards of 500 people attracted to the city. “As we are targeting the best players in the game we also expect, with the right promotion, many interested spectators to travel to Dubbo to watch the tournament,” he said. “This will give Dubbo’s many attractions and accommodation businesses the opportunity to benefit from the influx of such a significant number of visitors. “I believe the Australian Jackeroos (as in the Commonwealth games side) are going to put a side in as well. It was our intention to attract the elite bowlers of the country and maybe even internationally depending on (COVID). New Zealand tends to be second, third or first in the world depending on how they fall.” Club Dubbo’s board has committed $15,000 towards the event and sponsorship packages are currently available for businesses wishing to partner with Club Dubbo to promote their busi-

ness and associate themselves with what looks set to be a hugely successful regional event. Insurance brokers BCiB are the naming sponsor and Club Dubbo hopes the BCiB City of Dubbo International Fours will become a landmark bowls event which will encourage bowlers and spectators from across the country to make the annual journey to Dubbo to participate in the event and witness talented bowlers vie for the massive prizemoney on offer. Open to men and women, the tournament carries a massive $100,000 in prize money and will be ranked Tier 3 ranking. To be held on October 28 to 30 the event will be limited to the first 42 entries, with a first prize of $30,000 and prizemoney going down to 24th position. For more information contact Club Dubbo bowls’ manager Anthony Brown on 0403 401 567 or bowls@clubdubbo. com.au

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

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

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION STRANGE BUT TRUE z The human brain would be able to perform 38 quadrillion (38 thousand trillion) operations per second if it were a computer. z Lisa Jakub, who played teenager Lydia Hilliard in “Mrs. Doubtfire”, was kicked out of her Toronto school for taking the five-month-long film gig. When co-star Robin Williams found out, he wrote a letter to the school asking them to reconsider. School officials framed his letter, but didn’t change their mind about Jakub. z Pope Francis was once a nightclub bouncer in his native Argentina. z Neptune was the first planet to be found through mathematical predictions rather than telescopic location. z The Iberian ribbed newt uses

its own bones as weapons! Special tubercles in its abdomen allow its ribs to poke out through its skin when the newt is frightened. As an added bonus, the skin secretes a toxic chemical, turning this little creature into a killer of anything that tries to bite it. z Allodoxaphobia is the fear of opinions. z In Ghana, people like to be buried in something that represents their lives. These include coffins shaped like planes for pilots, fish for fishermen and a Mercedes for a businessman. z Many companies try to be as ethical and environmentally friendly as possible, but Stella McCartney bags took that initiative a step further by making some of the accessories out of corn. z “Psycho” was the first movie to show a toilet flushing.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z If you have a steel or metal door, stick a few magnets on the inside for a handy spot to attach reminders and other notes. If your door is wood, just attach a piece of corkboard to a strip of the door. With pushpins, it works the same way. z “If you ﬁnd a pretty bottle of lotion, you can reﬁll it when it runs out. I add a little bit of essential oils to my store-brand lotion.” – G.E. z Remove white rings on wood tables with mayo! Slather a spoonful of mayonnaise on the spot and let it stand for an hour or so. Wipe clean. Repeat as necessary. z Use nail polish in bright colours to mark the settings on your washer. The nail polish doesn’t wear off like a marker might. z Got unmatched socks? Save

them for the grandkids to use for hand puppets. You can help them sew buttons on, and use snippets of wool/yarn for hair. A barrette can be glued or sewn on for a nose. z “Here’s a DIY softener sheet for the dryer. Just cut up an old shirt into small squares about the size of your hand. Use a sealable jar and add liquid fabric softener and water in equal parts, and then add all the squares to the liquid. When you move clothes from the washer into the dryer, take a piece, squeeze it out and toss in the dryer. They are reusable – afterward, just put it back in the jar!” – D.R. z “Old newspapers can be used to clean glass and chrome. They leave behind less lint than paper towels and can be used with both a misting of water or glass cleaner.” – I.R. z Send your tips to now-heresa-tip@dubbophotonews.com.au

DRAGON BOATING

Above: Bella surrounded by Dragons!

Dragon Boat champion was Narromine’s Australia Day Ambassador By GEOFF MANN WITH the Macquarie maintaining a reasonable flow and Covid restrictions eased, the Outback Dragons found a perfect excuse to paddle at Narromine on January 26. “We have several members from the Narromine – Trangie area so when five-time World Championship gold medal winning dragon boater Isabella Bain was named to again represent her country as Australia Day Ambassador, Chris Robinson and her teammates were on their way. “We hooked up our boat determined to catch up with one of our best. Bell has competed successfully at two international campaigns and was named one of Sydney University’s 2018 International Wom-

en’s Day ‘Women to Watch’, so we were super keen to meet her and be inspired,” Chris bubbled. “Bella is using her talents to create a better world. She is the co-founder of Ambient and Co, a user experience program which has used artificial intelligence and data modelling to help clinicians treat Covid19,” she explained. Ms Bain’s system designer so has plenty of real-world experience out of the water.” Ms Bain and her cohorts partnered with the Critical Care Consortium, to develop the system that uses de-identified Covid-19 patient data to help clinicians identify better patient outcomes. This modelling is being used to save lives in more than 400 intensive care units in 51 countries.

She has also created interactive light sculptures for festivals such as VIVID Sydney and I-Light Marina in Singapore. Narromine Shire Council Mayor Craig Davies welcomed Isabella, introducing her “as a truly remarkable and inspirational young leader”. 27 enthusiasts from the Dubbo Dragon Boat Club followed Graeme Board, who towed the boat to Narromine. “We put the boat in at Rotary Park and paddled down to the weir and back to the ramp, which was a 4.5km round trip return journey. As the boat seats 20, we did two paddles to the weir so all members had their turn in the water.” Mayor Davies and Isabella Bain

then joined the crew and paddled to the weir and back,” Chris beamed. The Outback Dragons had a successful outing at Parkes on Saturday, bringing home the Lake Endeavour Trophy after a stirring eight kilometre race. The Dragons fended off challenges from Parkes, Orange, Forbes and Bathurst. “This was a great follow up to our recent trips to Forbes and Narromine. We had 38 members on the Parkes Reservoir so fielded two teams. It’s really terrific to see how our sport keeps growing and so much fun competing against oth-

er western clubs, “Chris remarked.

The Outback Dragons has 61 members – men and women – and love seeing the newer paddlers get the opportunity to participate in competitions.

“We paddle from Sandy Beach at the bottom of Tamworth St, downstream to the weir and back, followed by a shorter trip to complete a 60 minute excursion. This has us in good stead for upcoming regattas in Canberra, Port Macquarie, Cairns and Perth this year. Fingers crossed,” Chris concluded.

CRICKET

Dubbo ﬂexes By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DUBBO’S powerful batting lineup flexed its muscle in the Western Premier League match at No 1 Oval on Sunday. Ben Wheeler (87 no) and Tom Coady (63 no) made short work of the run chase after losing inform opener Charlie Kempston for 19. Wheeler smashed 10 fours and four sixes from just 64 deliveries and Coady, nine boundaries in a run-a-ball effort. Dubbo sits on top of the ladder with Bathurst, five points clear of Cowra. Keeper Tom Coady, Steve Skinner and Mitch Bower poised as Cameron Rasmussen lets one go

Dr Raj splits his passions By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL SOUTH Dubbo Hornets provide the perfect nest for Rajat Rai when he closes the door at the Oncology Unit. The Indian born doctor who completed his studies in Sydney, mixed medical books with net sessions while studying medicine at the University of NSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like all Indians, I just love the game! It is in our genes, I think,â&#x20AC;? Raj laughed as we chatted at No 1 Oval. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look around, there are some of my countrymen and women

here under lights on a Friday night enjoying great cricket at a superb ground,â&#x20AC;? the talented all-rounder smiled. Not all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;new Dubboniansâ&#x20AC;? play grade cricket but Raj had an easy explanation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back home everyone plays. Steve Waughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest book captured the millions of boys and now, girls who play in whatever open space there is so they use soft balls. That way there is no need for protective equipment. When they come to Australia and they have to face the Kookaburra it is quite frightening.â&#x20AC;? Raj says with encouragement

from clubs like Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Newtown, the numbers playing grade cricket have increased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the guys still enjoy getting down to Lady Cutler South and having fun with their mates. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relaxing, it is loud and we all laugh a lot but every one of us dreams of being the next Kohli, Bumrah or Suman Gill and the only way to do that is strap on pads, pull on helmets and face up to Dubboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best.â&#x20AC;? On India winning the Test series? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between you and me, I was cheering for Australia. This is my home now!â&#x20AC;?

Haylee and co set for Nationals By GEOFF MANN LAST week we brought news of Haylee Fuller’s top 10 finish in a stage of the Tour Down Under in the Adelaide hills. Dubbo Cycle Club Publicity Officer Gary Barber reflected the extreme pride of the entire “family”. “The race was covered by Channel 7 and there were many times our ’17-year-old from Dubbo Cycle Club’ was mentioned in the coverage.” The Santos Festival of Cycling featured the abbreviated Tour Down Under with an international peloton featuring world racing teams. The four-stage event has three road stages and finished with the fearsome Willunga Hill climb and the final criterium. “Haylee was invited to compete as part of her Sydney Uni Staminade team on the back of being the reigning U19 Australian Road Race Champion. She was the youngest and only rider in the U19 category in the Tour that featured members of the World Tour, Bike Exchange Team and the Garmin Australian Cycling Team that was packed full of Olympians,” Gary said. The first stage was an 80km effort through the Adelaide hills in heat wave conditions. “Haylee has been spending many hours training on the roads around Wellington’s Mt Arthur and those preparations held her in good stead as she finished with the main group.” Stage 2 was a 98km effort on the first day of the Adelaide heat wave, according to Gary, this stage suited our tough competitor. “Haylee felt at home. Her experience in the mountain bike arena held her in good stead to navigate the tricky aspects of riding a race bike on gravel roads”. Stage 3 saw the riders tackle the infamous Willunga Hill for the first time in the history of

Louise Ducks in for her 20th year! By GEOFF MANN LOUISE Taylor has been swimming with the Ducks for two decades. It is momentous in so far as she, along with Judy Walsh, was one of the first women to break the glass ceiling. “Whispers around the pool were that Louise and daughter Lucy have been doing a few laps at the “longer pool”, according to Judy Walsh who returned from dipping her togs in the saltwater at Forster to register a couple of good times. With the Western District Carnival coming up in a couple of weeks, ‘Table Boss Dave’ put on a dreaded – by most of the flock – 100 metre freestyle on Sunday. “I guess Sparkes was trying to test our staying power! The only relief was that it was a closest to time result which spared anyone having to swim twice. Most of the Ducks made the distance with not

the Tour Down Under. “The Willunga Hill stage has been taken out by Tour De France rider Richie Porte seven times, who was first over the line in the men’s race again this year. Haylee’s role was to assist her teammate, Nicole Frain, to be in a position to attack the climb and finish third on the stage”. This tough stage was about working out where Haylee sits in comparison to some of the regulars in the field and she wasn’t disappointed. “Haylee rode the perfect team racing, finishing ahead of World Tour professional riders Sarah Roy and Loretta Hanson.” Stage 4 was the final stage, a one hour criterium around the 1km Victoria Park circuit in health wave conditions in Adelaide. It came at the end of Willunga Hill. “No problem for Hayls! She is the reigning U19 National Road Champion and also holds U19 Criterium title, however the class of field in Adelaide was a step above. As well as National Elite Criterium podium place getters Sarah Roy, Ruby Roseman-Gannon and Peta Mullins were Olympians and World Championship cyclists, Annette Edmondson, Georgia Baker and Ashlee Ankudinoff,” Gary explained. Our young champ was never far from the front of the race. “Her good work to stay at the front of the field saw Haylee well positioned for the final few laps. The entire Australian Women’s Olympic Team Pursuit Team were at the head of the field and presented an imposing obstacle. In what was to be her first of surely many great results Fuller finished in 8th place. Her first ever top 10 finish in this company of World Tour Professionals,” he added proudly. Haylee will now look to defend her National Titles in Ballarat this week before knuckling down to complete her HSC at St John’s College.

too much effort, albeit the closest to times were all 1-2 seconds away from their times. “Ah well there is always this week,” Judy laughed. The 50 freestyle results were a bit closer, with rising CYMS star Jack Allen being closest to his time. “If he’s as fast on his feet as he is in the water, look out Group XI opponents”. Unfortunately club stalwart Brian Schloeffel had to settle for judging duties on Sunday after he attempted to remove his big toenail with a rather large piece of farm equipment during the week. Congratulation to David Sparkes and Tom Gray who won the November and December point scores respectively. This Sunday is the Ducks’ January Monthly Trophy and will be followed by the monthly meeting and lunch.

Western Division players who have played with Manly

Beaver’s looking forward to a weekend of wheels, wind, wine... and a win! PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By GEOFF MANN MANLY rugby league legend Steve Menzies was pumped when he flew into wine country for a pre-emptive strike. “Mudgee is one of my favourite places to visit. I’ve been lucky enough to play City-Country here and travelled out to Glen Willow many times for Charity Shield and other matches. The 47-year-old looks fit enough to add to his 319 games (280 with Sea Eagles and 69 with Northern Eagles during the Super League war) but says his role is purely as an Ambassador and “Sea Eagles” fanatic. “I won’t be pulling my boots on though Desi Hasler and I will be pumping the players up

for the Gold Coast Titans round six clash. “Beaver” told me a competition match is played on a much more intense level than trials. “These are professional footballers. Their pay packet increases with every win. Their coach smiles a lot more when they get two points. No-one at Manly wants to see the former premiership winning captain and coach not happy,” Beaver laughed. The rangy second-rower who grew up in the northern beaches has a very deep understanding of the passion for footy west of the mountains. “I’ve played with Cement – David Gillespie – and Rambo Ronnie Gibbs and Nik Kosef so

I know how tough these country blokes are. I’ve also been to Walgett, Bourke, Brewarrina, Dubbo, Wellington and Narromine over the years to meet kids and their parents. Their enthusiasm is infectious!” Manly and Mudgee are promoting this as a surf to sand experience and are hopeful – pandemic restrictions allowing – of having hundreds of their city fans converging into the Glen Willow complex in April. “Provided the restrictions stay as they are we will get out to schools and into communities to chat with teachers, coaches, parents and, of course, the boys and girls who love the NRL. This is a rare experience for our players to meet

with competition-starved fans so we will pour everything into the visit. “It’s a long trip home if you lose and as I said, Des is not a happy camper when his beloved Eagles get their wings clipped so expect a huge effort from everyone involved.” South Sydney and St George Illawarra kick off the season in Mudgee with the annual Charity Shield on Feb 27. It will herald in an unprecedented NRL extravaganza for western fans. South Sydney Rabbitohs and grand finalists Penrith Panthers meet at Apex Oval on Sun 23 May while the Panthers host Manly at Carrington Park, Bathurst on Sat 1 May.
