Wild brawl as neighbourhood ignites By JOHN RYAN FRIGHTENING scenes in West Dubbo’s Alcheringa Street played out across social media on Tuesday evening, with videos showing a green Honda SUV being driven at a group of people, many of them children. When the vehicle stopped with a flat front tyre a mob descended on it, using golf clubs and other weapons to smash the car’s windows while the driver got into a wild brawl with about 20 people. In some of the vision the alleged driver appeared to be kicked and hit by a number of people after being knocked to the ground while a large number of spectators looked on.

BRIDGE INFO REVEALED

Government study shows River Street Bridge wasn’t the best ‘benefit-cost’ option for Dubbo By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

EXPLOSIVE new evidence has emerged that the controversial River Street Bridge project wasn’t the best option for Dubbo in terms of a Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR). On January 21, Labor MLC Courtney Houssos asked a number of questions in state parliament, including: “Regarding the options to build a new Macquarie River bridge in Dubbo: a. Which options were considered by the Department?

b. Which options had benefit-cost ratios (BCRs) calculated? c. For each option for which a BCR was calculated, what was that BCR?” In the NSW state government’s response, it was revealed that the following options were considered by the Department: Troy Bridge Road, Purvis Lane, River Street, Myall Street, Macleay Street, Thompson Street, Talbragar Street, Wingewarra Street, LH Ford Bridge Duplication, Baird Street, Tamworth Street, and Emile Serisier duplication.

Of those, the options that had a BCR calculated (with the BCR result in brackets) were: z Purvis Lane (BCR 0.3) z River Street (BCR 0.5 in 2019, revised to BCR 0.3 in 2020) z LH Ford Bridge Duplication (BCR 0.1) z Emile Serisier duplication (BCR 0.7). Dubbo Photo News has been told a higher BCR indicates more benefit to the community.

Proposed super increase slammed by chartered accountants

Remembered by a new generation

THE Federal Government’s move to pause the super increase from 9.5 per cent to 12 per cent is not a backflip, nor a broken promise – it’s plain common sense, says Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ). “Since the last election, there has been a global pandemic, the first Australian recession in 29 years, our highest unemployment in 20 years, record stagnancy in wage growth, and the world falling apart at the seams,” CA ANZ’s superannuation leader Tony Negline said. “Accountants work first-hand with businesses who have been financially slammed. “Let’s park the super increase priority to when the vaccine is rolled out, and when the employment and GDP numbers look a little less like a horror show,” Mr Negline said.

School students encouraged to explore Australia’s wartime history By JOHN RYAN A national ANZAC Day competition is being touted as a great way for local school students to immerse themselves in Australia’s wartime history. Federal Parkes MP Mark Coulton said the ANZAC Day Schools’ Awards are not about glorifying war but rather all about honouring the service and sacrifice of Australians from the First World War to modern day conflicts and peacekeeping operations. “Australia has a rich military history, and the ANZAC Day Schools’ Awards are an opportunity for students in the Parkes electorate to learn more about our contribution over the years,” Mr Coulton said. “The awards also help ensure our future generations grow up with a recognition and respect for the sacrifice of all who have served in the protection of our country and way of life.” This year’s theme is “What does commemoration look like in your community?” Mr Coulton said the cancel-

lation of ANZAC Day services across the country last year, where communities were forced to adapt and find different ways to commemorate, added a new dimension to the way many people commemorated the occasion, including a grassroots national movement which saw thousands of people standing at the end of their driveways at dawn. “The theme for the awards centres on the importance of commemorations and asks students to look at how society and commemorations have changed over time,” he said. “I encourage all schools across the Parkes electorate to take part in this competition and I look forward to seeing what students come up with.” The national winner’s school will receive $5000, a trophy and a certificate. There will also be state and territory winners, with the schools receiving $3000 and a certificate. Winners in the special categories will receive $2000 and a certificate. Entries for the awards are 2020 saw a very different commemoration of ANZAC Day in Dubbo – here a lone bunow open and will close on gler casts a shadow on the Cenotaph in Victoria Park as he pays tribute to those who sacriﬁced so much.

LOVE YOUR PET DAY

MILLS’ MENAGERIE By JOHN RYAN RACHEL Mills says hers is definitely an animal-loving family and from the assortment of feathered and furry friends poking around the house that seems pretty obvious. Dubbo Photo News’ photographer Emy-Lou snapped Hammy the 11-month-old pigeon riding around on the back of Barney the Jug as though he owns the place. “The pigeon we rescued as he fell out of the nest. A friend found him and called us to help. We hand reared since he was three weeks old,” Mrs Mills said. “The Jug we bought from a breeder as it is a mix of Jack Russell and Pug. Our 12-year-old Jack Russell had just passed away and we were too sad to get another Russell, so our kids asked for a pug.

“I had read that full bred pugs often have nasal issues so that’s why we went for a Jug. Having owned a Russell, you can definitely see characteristics of them in Barney the Jug.” Mrs Mills said the family has lots of fun hand rearing things or taking on other people’s pets that need re-homing and believes the love your pet day is a fantastic initiative which allows pet owners to really focus on how much joy these members of the family can bring to a home. “I think the love your pet initiative is a great idea as it will bring out some great photos of animals that love each other no matter what breed they are.” Pictured: Hammy the pigeon has found the perfect roost on the back of his old mate Barney.

COUNTRY QUARANTINE?

Mayor rejects regional hotel quarantine ideas

By LYDIA PEDRANA

THE Mayor of Dubbo has slammed suggestions that the federal government should move coronavirus hotel quarantine program out of cities and into regional areas like Dubbo. While health experts have told major media outlets that the hotel quarantine scheme would do better in the regions, Ben Shields described the proposals as “short-sighted” and “stupid”. Listing several reasons why he believes it is “a really dumb idea”, Mr Shields raised issues such as increased travel and the size and functionality of regional motels. “Once an international traveller

lands in Sydney they would have to take another flight to a region like Dubbo – expanding the contact risk to other people and aeroplanes,” he said. “Our accommodation providers are mainly motels with 20 or 30 rooms each. “It would be too hard to secure quarantine in open-ended motels compared to giant 200 room plus hotels in the city that have one entrance in a foyer.” Mr Shields also highlighted the labour problems that would come with moving hotel quarantine to the country. “Using many more smaller venues like motels would require more security staff – workers that

we simply don’t have,” he said. “In case of an outbreak, our hospital and medical facilities are not equipped for such an event.” Mr Shield’s Facebook post was met with comments of support from hundreds of community members agreeing with the Mayor’s stance. Facebook user William Jones praised the Mayor for his “excellent response. “It should be contained where it is discovered, not sent to country areas with the risk of transmitting it even more,” Mr Jones wrote. “We don’t need this in the country.” Leigh Alexander Rice, who has been through the Sydney hotel

quarantine system himself, was also in agreeance. “Once in quarantine and you test positive for Covid you’re supposed to be moved to a health hotel,” Mr Rice wrote. “We don’t have the facilities for that. “Secondly, the local nurses, doctors and police would probably be needed for this to happen. “Dubbo can’t afford for those staff to be taken. “I’ve been through quarantine in Sydney and know the amount of resources it requires.” Mr Shields has promised to resist any attempts to move the program to the Dubbo region “to the highest degree.”

EMERGENCY REPORT

Wild brawl as west neighbourhood ignites Continued from page 1

Police were called and arrived in force at about 7pm and commenced an investigation, arresting a 48-year-old woman in Alcheringa Street just hours later, at about 9.50pm. She was taken to Dubbo Police Station where she was charged with driving in a manner dangerous and affray. Police will allege in court the woman drove her car towards a group of people on Alcheringa Street, before alighting from the vehicle and becoming involved in a fight with another woman. The woman was granted conditional bail

to appear before Dubbo Local Court on May 5. Inquiries continue. Alcheringa Street has a long history of neighbourhood dramas. For a period of time Australia Post workers refused to deliver mail into that area around Leavers Street because of the harassment the workers were experiencing. The NSW Housing Department has also copped plenty of criticism over the years for letting out of control tenants run amok with few consequences while occupying taxpayer-funded social housing. Locals have told Dubbo Photo News the atmosphere in the area is becoming frightening.

NSW Health may trial capsicum foam

ISSUE

Labor: Benefit-cost data reveals River Street Bridge not best option Street option, it’s now time for our local MP to intervene on the community’s behalf to stop this nonsense,” Cr Shields said.

From page 1

Much community and trucking industry support has swung behind a high-level bridge at Troy Junction which proponents say is the narrowest feasible point possible for a river crossing near the city – yet that option appears not to have even been assessed via a Benefit-Cost Ratio. Shadow Rural Roads Minister Mick Veitch, who has visited Dubbo many times to talk to locals concerned about the project, told Dubbo Photo News yesterday that this information from the government clearly shows the River Street Bridge is not the best option investigated by the department. “So just how come the government is backing this option. It makes a mockery of the Business Case process to determine the best projects for government funding,” Mr Veitch said. “The information suggests that the community’s preferred option

A NEW review into hospital security has among its key recommendations the consideration to trial capsicum foam and other defensive tools to help de-escalate situations. The Anderson Review recognises systemic under-reporting of violence in hospitals which the Health Services Union claims confronts hospital workers across the state on a regular basis. Other recommendations include that managers must ensure the current culture of under-reporting violence ends and that clinical staff inform security staff when they become aware a patient is en route to a hospital who may present a behavioural challenge.

Scammers threatening arrest over tax debts

of Troy Bridge was not even assessed through the BCR process by the department. Unbelievable!” Dubbo Regional Council mayor Ben Shields said he was outraged at the new information. “This is a scandal of the highest degree, the fact that they didn’t even bother to investigate the

Troy Bridge option and that other options have scored better shows that Transport for NSW is hiding something significant – it stinks and there certainly needs to be a formal, and independent, inquiry over the matter,” Cr Shields said. “The community has shown they’re dead against the River

SO-CALLED “Robocalls” claiming to be from the Australian Tax Office, demanding payment of “your tax debt” and warning an arrest warrant is out for you, are scams, the ATO has warned. “Scammers often request payment through unusual methods such as cryptocurrency or bitcoin, pre-paid credit cards or gift cards, and will try to keep people on the line until they have paid,” ATO director Gavin Siebert said. The ATO will never telephone a taxpayer or use a pre-recorded message. Phone numbers may look legitimate but are manipulated and come from an overseas scammer.

Wellington student named a winner in the ABC Heywire competition

Wear RED this February By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY ORANA Physical Culture (OPC) club is part of a nationwide network of likeminded families keen to see their children, mostly daughters, enjoy a dance-based exercise that’s good for their health and fitness. “We take girls from three. You can do Physie until you can’t move anymore, from three to 103! There is an over 60s category. All the routines are customised for each particular age group,” (OPC) teacher Sarah Lucan told Dubbo Photo News. “For the younger ones there’s a lot of coordination and getting

I’ve done it since I was six. It’s a sport for life,” (OPC) teacher Sarah Lucan said. Dubbo Health Services cardiologist Kanishka Kamaladasa agrees that exercise is essential for keeping fit for life, which is also very good for your heart. “There are a lot of things people can do to help keep their heart healthy. Some of the things they can do are cease smoking, limit

alcohol, exercise, weight reduction, seek prompt medical attention for illnesses, treat and monitor high blood pressure, manage diabetes and cholesterol when indicated, and meditation,” Dr Kamaladasa said. Heart disease is the number one killer globally and a reason Dr Kamaladasa became a cardiologist. “I chose this field so I can make a difference to both the patient and the community. You can make dramatic results with interventions and lifesaving management.” In this region patients present to the Sri Lankan and UK trained cardiologist mostly for coronary artery disease but also for heart

Kimi moved to Australia with her family from China. Her father works in a Chinese restaurant. Kimi’s entry into Heywire tells the story about the differences she’s found in the two cultures, in particular the amount of homework she doesn’t have to do in Australia.

Dubbo to host NSW Police indoor cricket competition

IT’S A RECORD!

By JOHN RYAN FORMER Dubbo senior sergeant Simon Madgwick is one of the organisers of the state’s police indoor cricket competition and he told Dubbo Photo News he couldn’t be happier the event will be staged in the city this year after being forced to take a break because of the Coronavirus pandemic last year. “The response from police right around the state has been

overwhelmingly positive. We’ve been contacted from Police Districts all over the state and even Queensland wanting to be part of the largest single police sporting event of the calendar,” Snr Sgt Madgwick said. “As police we’ve experienced a year like no other. Bushfires, COVID, border closures, hotel quarantine management, all on top the usual trials and tribulations of being a police officer. “The cricket is more than just

sport. It’s a time for cops to get together and debrief. Chat about our shared experiences and help one another through the more difficult times. There are things that cops can only talk about to other cops. That’s just a reality.” Snr Sgt Madgwick said the support the indoor cricket event has had from Dubbo Sportsworld’s Greg King, as well as the entire Dubbo community, has been amazing. “Unsurprisingly to me though

given I lived here for 40 years, I know how welcoming and supportive Dubbo can be,” he said. “You just can’t replicate that warm country welcoming attitude here in Sydney. The feeling of support from the Dubbo community is genuine. And that’s why we keep coming back.” The 2021 NSW Police Indoor Cricket Championships will be held at Dubbo SportsWorld on April 30 to May 1.

Origami, an art form that originated in Japan, consists of meticulous paper-folding to create animals and other recognizable shapes. Danilo Schwarz and Meire Matayoshi from São Paulo, Brazil have broken a Guinness World Records title for the largest display of origami dogs with a total of 1010 creations. The 1010 dogs were assembled in 60 days using a variety of coloured papers including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. Ranging from basic to complex designs, origami artists transform paper into a multitude of shapes and sizes, all without cutting or gluing. This folding technique allows individuals’ creativity and imagination to soar.

Tribute for a proud outback woman A STATE Funeral will be held in Cobar tomorrow (Friday, February 19) to honour the town’s long-serving mayor Lilliane Brady. The Funeral will be held at Drummond Park but due to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, there is only limited seating available. Strict health measures will be in place both inside and outside Drummond Park, Cobar, to which attendees will be required to adhere. These will also include maintaining physical distancing. The State Funeral will be live streamed from 11am on Friday, February 19, on the NSW Government website: www.nsw. gov.au/state-funerals and a full recording will also be made available on the website for the public to watch at a later date. Lilliane Brady moved from Sydney to Cobar in the late 1960s and was first elected

to the Cobar Shire Council in 1976, becoming a strong advocate for her community and serving as mayor for almost 23 years – making her NSW’s longest ever serving female mayor – she had planned to retire next September. Cr Brady was awarded a Centenary Medal in 2001 for services to local government and a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2012 for service to local government and to the community of Cobar. In 2018 Mayor Brady’s dedication was recognised with a Local Government NSW Lifetime Achievement Award. Last year, she was awarded the Minister for Local Government Award for her commitment to increasing participation of women in local government. Mrs Brady is survived by her three children Sue, Deidre, Pally and her grandchildren. Lilliane Brady OAM. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED

Girls become ‘associate’ blokes LADIES are being allowed in the door of what up until now has been pretty much a domain for men. During the recent Annual General Meeting at South Dubbo Veterans and Community Men’s Shed a motion was passed unanimously to allow associate memberships for ladies. The shed’s Eric Chamberlain said this change will allow women to join the men’s shed as members and have the opportunity to participate in activities as nominated by the ladies themselves, on times or days separate to the men’s activities if so required. “The choice of interests can be the same as for the men, but will be run separately at this time,” Mr Chamberlain said. “These separate ladies’ activities will of course be controlled by our lady members and be run in such a way that they relate to our present selection of activities as our limited room and space permits.” Some activities will require men or women as instructors. Some activities that have been suggested so far are needle work, knitting, crocheting, cake decorating etc. As well as what are seen as traditional domestic chores, other classes could involve home improvement and ‘handywoman’ lessons such as how to hang picture and photo frames along with other small woodworking jobs. Transport will be available for these classes, for further inquiries please contact Eric Chamberlain on 0411054832 or Bill Hill on 0432581415.

Half a lifetime on the knives Brad Roff said his job at Fletcher International has changed his life for the better and wants local school leavers to give it a go : “Come and give it a go, the worstcase scenario is that you’ll pick up a pay cheque.” PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEW/EMY LOU

By JOHN RYAN

AT the age of 32, Brad Roff, has spent half his life working at Fletcher International, leaving school at 16 to take his place in the workforce. He went to school at ‘South’ and then had a year at Senior Campus and said he “got sick of that” so decided to go to work instead. “My dad said if I left school, I had to get a fulltime job and that’s how I ended up here, everywhere else was only employing casuals,” Mr Roff told Dubbo Photo News, saying he started out just like everyone else, as a labourer on the floor. “At 16 I didn’t know anything about work and stuff, but I moved up pretty quick and I was only 17 when I became an A Grade and I did that for 15 years and in Sep-

tember last year I started in a training job, as a training officer on the harvest floor,” he said. “When you’re an A Grade on the knives you can only see one side of how things work and now, I’m on the other side of it, it’s not as easy as I thought it would be. Mr Roff said it’s been of great benefit to him to have insights into the labouring and now the management side of the business. “A few years ago, when Melissa took over, she changed everything and it’s been great since then, training is now more detailed, we buddy people up to help get them going. “The buddy keeps coming back and asking them how they’re going, making sure they like the job they’re doing or seeing if they’d like to change, to do something different and it’s better when a

lot of people keep moving around to do different jobs and pick up new skills.” He enjoys the challenges of training and mentoring junior workers and says having the experience of having done it himself is a big help, enabling him to utilise his years of practical experience to advise newer staff. He says safety is the number one priority and that a major factor in the company’s high staff morale is that anyone with a suggestion on how to improve either safety or productivity is taken seriously. “It’s heaps good that people know any suggestions they may have will be looked at and often acted upon, if you don’t think you’re valued you might have the best idea in the world but if you don’t think you can express it,

then you don’t.” He said leaving school at 16 and having been on a good secure wage all that time has given him a fiscal discipline – also helped out by a workplace culture where so many fellow workers had used their jobs to get ahead in life. “I look back on it and I pretty much grew up out here, I didn’t think it at the time, but I was a little dickhead when I first got here, at 16 you think you know everything, but I was making a bit of money and my friends were working at Maccas and not earning near as much as I was,” Mr Roff said. “When I went up to A Grade, I sort of had my head screwed on a bit better and I had a lot of older blokes and they had houses, there’s a heap of them, and they told me to save money each week

so when I was looking at buying my house, I’d have a yarn to them and get their ideas and see what should work for me. That culture of saving money to become secure financially was a strong and driving motivation for Brad to own his own home “It was, I’m one of seven in my family and there’s only me and my eldest brother who’ve bought our own houses and I bought mine about five years before he got his, it makes you feel good, it gives you a sense of accomplishment Advice to the current crop of school leavers or anyone who feels their lives are at a loose end? “Come and give it a go, the worst-case scenario is that you’ll pick up a pay cheque.”

Local man takes agribusiness to the airwaves By LYDIA PEDRANA WITH a long history of farming in his family, Dubbo man Jack Cresswell is bringing agribusiness to the modern age through a new podcast, Farms Advice. Growing up in the sticks of Wilcannia on a sheep property, Mr Cresswell’s passion for agriculture and farming began at a young age. “From there, I’ve always had an interest and wanted to muster sheep in for shearing,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “When I was younger, I just thought we had sheep and not that there was a business attached onto it. “The property was in our family for 90 or so years before we sold out with bad droughts and we now have a farm near Dubbo.” Graduating from St Johns’ College in 2011, Mr Cresswell went on to study a Bachelor of Agribusiness, majoring in marketing management at the University of New England in Armidale. While most of his uni mates went into agronomy, Mr Cresswell split from the pack and moved to the UK, looking for a job in agribusiness marketing. “London was a real eye opener for me when I moved over in 2017,”

he said. “With no contacts there I started fresh and walked 20 kilometres in a suit handing out resumes to companies I thought would be great to work with. “I worked with start-ups, finance, medical and publishing companies, but always thought about the farm in mid-drought back home.” Forced into strict lockdown as COVID-19 swept through London, Mr Cresswell took the plunge into the competitive world of podcasting, something he had pondered on previously. Giving himself a £100 budget and the motto, ‘talking everything agribusiness,’ Mr Cresswell has interviewed CEOs of global companies, industry leaders and innovative farmers who are going against the status quo. “Farms Advice started as a Facebook group to keep connected to mates after Uni in 2015 and I have just been trickling in content ever since,” he explained. “If I didn’t start the podcast when I did, I would be behind where I wanted to be, so it was great timing. “Not many of my interviewees knew I was awake at 6:30am in London to talk about AgTech (agricultural technology) back in Aus-

DIESEL and chemical spills, water and land contamination and generations of excessive coal ash dust are some of the 153 environment protection license breaches Australia’s coal-burning power stations have committed. Revealed in the Australia Beyond Coal Alliance’s Coal Impacts Index, the data reveals coal-burning power stations in the National Electricity Market have put local communities and environments in areas such as the Hunter Valley and Latrobe Valley at serious risk. AGL is the biggest offender, responsible for three-quarters of licence breaches reported by Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPAs) in NSW and VIC “All the owners of coal-burning power stations must stop playing dice with people’s health and improve their compliance procedures,” Greenpeace Australia Pacific CEO David Ritter said.

2020 WAS a trying time for the community, especially for our youth facing numerous challenges with

their education and social life during COVID-19. Last year the Dubbo interagency groups teamed up and held an event at the Dubbo Aquatic Centre where kids

put their handprints on a panel. Now that artwork has been at the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC). The artwork represents their resilience and ability

to ‘Bounce Back” from tough times. The mural was created entirely by the youth of Dubbo, from the drawing and design, to painting and colour choice.

IN BRIEF

Dubbo osteoporosis study to help doctors predict skeletal age, premature death

Gerrymandering of state and federal grants cause for concern says ALGA

By LYDIA PEDRANA DATA from a Dubbo-based osteoporosis study has helped experts at the Garvan Institute create a new skeletal age calculator which aims to improve the management of osteoporotic features. Garvan’s Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study, which has been running since 1989 and is the world’s longest-running largescale study of osteoporosis in men and women, will help doctors predict the risk of bone fracture and consequently, a person’s chance of premature death. The new calculator, which will be accessible to doctors and health professionals, aims to identify those at risk of a first bone fracture and subsequent fractures, while also estimating how fractures impact one’s life expectancy. Despite affecting more than 900,000 Australians and costing $3.4 billion annually, head of the Genetic Epidemiology of Osteoporosis Lab at Garvan, Professor Tuan Nguyen, said there is a lot

of complacency in the community when it comes to bone health. “A fracture shortens life expectancy, even more so in men than in women,” he said. “Only 20 per cent of those with fragility fractures are taking approved treatments for osteoporosis, which could significantly reduce their risk of further fractures. “We hope that calculating a person’s skeletal age, which may be much higher than their actual age, will identify those who are at higher risk of fractures and encourage them to speak to their doctor about how to better manage their condition.” From the age of 50, bone fractures affect one in two women and one in three men, and for women, the lifetime risk of a hip fracture is on par, or higher than, the risk of developing an invasive breast cancer. Research also reveals that with each fracture, the risk of another fracture increases two-fold, while pre-existing fractures increase the risk of premature death by

Professor Tuan Nguyen from the Garvan Institute and his team have developed a new tool for estimating a persons’ skeletal age using data from a Dubbo osteoporosis study. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

approximately 50 per cent in both men and women. The new calculator considers an individuals’ age, bone density, history of previous fractures and other health conditions that calculate a personalised estimate of skeletal age. From that result, doctors can determine a patient’s risk of subsequent fractures and chance of premature death. “In our new model, we quantified the intricate transitions between fracture, re-fracture and mortality,” Professor Nguyen explained. “We define skeletal age as the age of an individuals’ skeleton that results from their risk factors for fracture. “Using this definition, we for instance estimated that a typical 70-year-old man who had sustained a fracture had a skeletal

age of 75 years, but when the man had a second fracture his skeletal age rose to 87 years. “This means the individual now has the same fracture risk profile as an 87-year-old man who has a healthy risk profile.” The online calculator for doctors is now in development with researchers hoping it will spark discussions around bone health between health professionals and their patients. Professor Nguyen’s key message from this project is that it’s never too early to consider your bone health. “Do not wait until a fracture has occurred to take preventive action,” he said. “If your skeletal age is higher than your actual age, you should seek medical advice from your doctor on how to manage the higher risk.”

THE Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) has renewed calls for public grants to councils and community organisations to be assessed against transparent criteria and awarded on merit. It comes amidst allegations that some grants and funding programs, including the Safer Communities Fund (SCF), have been “gerrymandered”. “To ensure councils and communities can have confidence in the use of public money for Commonwealth grant allocations, it will be important for future grant rounds to have established criteria, with merit-based recommendations adopted by the Federal Government.” “This is especially important given the public’s dissatisfaction with how democracy in Australia is working continues to grow,” she said.

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Trail bike theft at Gil POLICE are investigating the theft of two trail bikes and two trail helmets from a property on the Newell Highway at Gilgandra sometime between February 13 and 14. Bike 1 is a 125 Honda CRF Trail Bike, red and white in colour, VIN LALJE03U2L3300312, Engine No 610573, Year 2020 model. Bike 2 is a 110 Honda CRF Trail Bike, red and white in colour, Year 2016 to 2017.

Dripstone dip drench stolen POLICE are also investigating the theft of chemicals and fuel from a property on the Burrell Creek Road, Dripstone on February 10, after the landholder was awoken and saw a number of lights on the property and a vehicle driving away. He described the vehicle as an old Ford Falcon station wagon or SUV with an automatic transmission. He later discovered a 15-litre drum of Cydectin sheep drench and a yellow 20-litre jerry can, containing 20 litres of unleaded petrol, had been stolen from a shed on the property.

Collie tools flogged TALK about needing to have everything you own nailed down these days! Warren police are investigating the theft of tools from a property on the Yungundi Road, Collie, around February 14 or 15. The landholder attended two homes on the property and noticed that several of his toolbox drawers were open as well as cupboards throughout both dwellings. He also noticed an old TV was missing from the shed of one of the dwellings along with a Sidchrome socket set. A Milwaukee brand grease gun, Hitachi rattle gun parts and a battery charger were also stolen.

Fatal crashes IT’S been an horrendous week or so on western roads. On February 14, a 33-year-old man died when he was ejected from his Nissan Navara vehicle on the Lake Cargelligo Road, Condobolin. A passing motorist located the ute wreck.

The Navara driver was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics but died a short time later.

Speeding, fast HIGHWAY police have fined a 22-year-old man $935 and docked him five demerit points after he was allegedly caught travelling at excessive speed on February 10. His white Toyota utility was allegedly detected travelling on the Merrilea Road at 106km/h in the signposted 60km/h zone at about 5.50am. He was issued with a traffic infringement notice for exceed speed limit more than 30km/h, which incurs a penalty of $935, five demerit points and a threemonth licence suspension. At about 6.45am the same day, following further patrols, police detected a silver Nissan Navara ute travelling at 90km/h in the 60km/h signposted zone. The 48-year-old female driver was fined $489 and lost four demerit points.

Shortly after 7am a third motorist was detected travelling at 78km/h in the 60km/h signposted zone, the 43-year-old male driver was fined $285 and docked three demerit points. Western Plains Traffic & Highway Patrol Command’s Sergeant Michael Donley praised community members who alerted police of their concerns regarding speeding motorists on the roadway. “Police are eager to act on community feedback should residents feel their own or other’s safety is at risk,” Sgt Donley said. “In this instance, officers were then able to detect several motorists travelling in excess of the signposted speed zone in what is a heavy traffic area for horse movement during that time of morning. “Inevitably this will remind drivers that police are out there and that you will be caught if you fail to abide by the road rules.”

Operation Stock Check SPECIALIST rural investigators conducted Operation Stock Check

at the goat sales at Dubbo Saleyards on February 9 as part of an ongoing state-wide operation targeting the transportation of livestock in an effort to disrupt stock theft and to enforce biosecurity regulations. Rural Crime Investigators spent the day talking to buyers and sellers from all over the western region and checking National Vendor Declarations. Police said it was pleasing to see that the vast majority of people had the correct paperwork.

Wello trespass WELLINGTON police are investigating a trespassing at a property on the Mitchell Highway at Wellington on February 10. Police say that property was also the target of a previous break and enter earlier this month. The owner found two offenders near the homestead after seeing torchlight. One offender was wearing a grey hooded jumper and the other a black hooded jumper. Both ran from the scene

when challenged by the owner.

Reward offered over ‘senseless break-in’ DUBBO Regional Council (DRC) staff are fuming following a break and enter at the Dubbo Regional Botanic Gardens Café in the early hours of February 14. There was thousands of dollars’ worth of wanton destruction to the café along with a number of items stolen. Mayor of the Dubbo region, Councillor Ben Shields, said he was outraged to hear of this attack on a community asset. Dubbo Regional Council is offering a reward of up to $2500 for information leading to the conviction of any person who has committed wilful damage or theft of council property. Anyone who may have seen something or anyone acting suspiciously in the area, or anyone with information, is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Bre correction centre kept NSW Corrections Minister, Anthony Roberts, has announced the future of the retired Brewarrina Correctional Centre has been secured. Ownership of the site will be jointly transferred to the Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Brewarrina Shire Council, with the latter leasing its portion to Orana Haven enabling it for use as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. “This is a great result for the people of the Barwon electorate, bringing much-need jobs and investment to a drought-impacted region,” Mr Roberts said. “It’s also a win for residents because the transferring of the Brewarrina site ensures it is preserved entirely for community use for the next 15 years. “The outcome is the result of de-

applying for housing. “Inmates often come into our care with a lack of education, general learning difficulties or with English being their second language,” Mr Peebles said. “It’s been incredible to see inmates who once struggled with verbal communication and confidence, now speak for three-minutes with conviction and poise – it’s quite remarkable. “Being able to use your words effectively can be life changing.” The Toastmasters prison team operates similarly to those on the outside, with formal meetings and public speaking competitions on Friday nights.

Road turnoff as part of a $1.25 million project which includes shoulder widening and drainage upgrades, as well as the installation of roadside barriers. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the final step was to add rumble strips along a one-kilometre section of the highway. The project was delivered through the Safer Roads Program “which is making a big difference in regional communities, with many targeted safety improvement projects under way across the state and many more to kick off soon”, Mr Saunders said. “We know the impacts of road

crashes are devastating for communities, and that’s why we are focused on doing everything possible to move towards zero fatalities and serious injuries on our regional roads. “Rumble strips can reduce the likelihood of vehicles leaving their lane by up to 25 per cent and are part of a suite of road safety measures designed to ensure everyone who sets off on a journey gets home safely,” he said. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Stitching together timeless friendships Kintyre Living Lifestyle Village lives up to its name every day by providing residents with opportunities to easily find friends and share similar interests in social occasions. Naturally, many residents do live alone, so it’s groups like the Sewcialites, or the morning tea craft group who offer companionship and a chance to get to know neighbours and make new friends. The Sewcialites meet once a week every Wednesday from 9am to 2.30pm but is not exclusive to Kintyre residents; all are welcome. A founding member and non-Kintyre resident Sue Bailey explains it was resident Janice Willetts who approached management to ask if the beautifully appointed club house could be a home for the Sewcialites, to which they agreed. “It’s the perfect spot, it has all the light we need, lots of space and the tables are big so we can work on large projects,” Mrs Bailey said. “We bring our own lunch, and we can use the kitchen and we’ve got our own little box of goodies with coffees and teas,” Mrs Willetts said. Much of the work produced by members involves techniques such as quilting, embroidery, Foundation paper piecing, English paper

piecing, applique and more. “If different people are doing different things and you might not have done before, there’s always someone here who can show you how,” Sewcialite Sue Hodges said. “I think everybody can do it. I quilted years and years and years ago, then got to a point in my career where there wasn’t time for it and gave it up. Now I’ve picked it up again. Having the Sewcialites here was a plus for me when I moved into Kintyre,” she said. The many hours of dedicated sewing on projects are made all the more enjoyable in the company of friends, new and old. “We do a quilt every year for charity as a joint effort,” Mrs Willetts said. “We give that to a different local Dubbo charity each year. It was Domestic Violence this year and Macquarie Homestay last year.” “There’s always something as a group that we do a small part of and join it all together,” Mrs Bailey said. Members of the group recently surprised Mrs Bailey with a wall hanging to commemorate her 50th wedding anniversary. The project took months to complete resulting in a priceless keepsake thanks to

We do it for love,” Sewcialite Sharon MacInnes said. There’s a lot of that going around at the Kintyre morning tea craft group too, which is also made up of residents and non-residents. What might look like just a group of women in a knitting circle, they are in fact quietly making a profound difference to people’s lives locally and overseas.

Baby booties and clothes are passed to a local church which forwards the items to mothers internationally, who have nothing to clothe their newborns. One member makes bonnets and booties for premmy babies born at Dubbo Hospital. Humble, they describe the time they share as a way to keep their fingers busy. Kintyre Living Lifestyle Village can certainly offer opportunities to be occupied, with one craft group resident summing it by saying if she did all the social things that are available at Kintyre, she’d never be home!

Tree champ

By JOHN RYAN

NARROMINE has Australia’s newest Australian champion tree – a mighty Silver-leaved Ironbark. Derek McIntosh established the National Register of Big Trees eleven years ago and caught up with Dubbo Photo News while he was visiting Narromine and says he needs help from locals to record these ancient giants because he physically can’t get to every location. “Much as I would love to, I cannot visit and measure every likely Champion tree in Australia, please send in your nominations!” The circumference of Narromine’s champion Silver-leafed Ironbark is 3.84m, with its height measuring 18m. “Another local champ is a Fuzzy Box near Peak Hill with circumference of 8m and height 21m,” Mr McIntosh said. The register records the

Champion tree of all species in Australia – it includes champions for each state amongst the 840 trees on the list. Mr McIntosh said the register records native and alien trees and that they’re scored on a formula that gives a holistic point score which allows for objective comparisons. The register can be sorted on common name, scientific name, state, town, and points which makes it easy for register visitors to locate trees in specific areas. The largest tree in Australia is the “Kermandie Queen” [Eucalyptus regnans] near Geeveston, Tasmania with 1070 Points – circumference 22m, height 60m. The Register is not only about the giant trees. It covers all the wonderful trees we have in our rural properties, gardens, pavements, and parks. See the website for full details: www.nationalregisterofbigtrees.com.au

EDUCATION

The little school that could By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON Christian School (WCS) is proving to be the little school that could, growing from small beginnings to becoming a major education provider in the community. Established almost four decades ago as a K-12 facility, it has overcome low enrolment numbers and pending closure to become a thriving primary school. “We are definitely growing,” WCS principal Jo Blatch told Dubbo Photo News. “Our lowest enrolment was 14 students, our enrolment today is 70, it’s incredible.” As part of that invigoration, the school went under the governance of Dubbo Christian School and transitioned to a K-6 learning environment. At the time Mrs Blatch became principal, a masterplan was developed to ensure the school’s future sustainability. “Our masterplan was my first job in 2019, in terms of looking at what was needed to make that

happen.” WCS worked with the Association of Independent Schools (AIS) to design a facility that would reflect the needs of its staff and students. “We worked hard on the masterplan process and came up with something that suits the vision that we have, that it creates a place where children are seen, heard, known and supported,” Mrs Blatch said. Stage 1 of the development aimed to repurpose existing secondary classrooms, while Stage 2 involves creation of a community learning hub to include learning support, indoor performance and the school’s music program. WCS has been working with educational architects Stanton Dahl on the initial design phase and receipt of $650,000 as part of the Federal Government’s Capital Grants Program will continue the project’s momentum. “Stage 2 includes a huge communal space, it opens up the hall into the library and foyer, and it includes small meeting rooms

and space for portable technology use,” Mrs Blatch said. There will also be a maker space for creative pursuits such as art, dance, music and technology with a major aim being to remain connected to the outdoors, either through glass or moveable walls. “Our aim is connecting to the outdoors so that they can feel inspired by nature, to bring the outdoors in, it’s all about helping kids

feel calm and safe,” Mrs Blatch said. “Every school is dealing with children with multiple needs. Rather than make a separate space, we wanted to make every space suitable for every child. “Every space is calm and welcoming. We are a school that treats every child as equally important.” The aim is to have Stage 2 completed by the end of next year with

two further stages planned in the future.

Mrs Blatch is thrilled with the Federal funding and believes that it shows the government has faith in communities to decide what they need.

“Parents have the right to choose an education for their children so it’s nice that the government is working with the parents.”

MARANATHA GUNYAH

Built with love and community BY NATALIE LEWIS IT was a case of ‘Wellington leading the world’ as ground-breaking intergenerational learning centre Maranatha Gunyah was officially opened by Member for Calare Andrew Gee on Friday, February 12. “It was started with a vision, built with love and it has captured everyone’s imagination,” Mr Gee said. Jointly funded by Maranatha House and the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund, Mr Gee said Maranatha Gunyah ‘has brought the community together.’ “And as the vision grew, the building grew and we now have a world-class facility that was built with love and for the community to treasure forever, and for all the generations to get something out of. This is Wellington leading the world.” Former Maranatha chairman John Trounce said they’d been lucky to have locals that ‘pushed the cart, and to be with a group of people who are working together to take on these ventures, to be risktakers, offering involvement for our

senior residents, and for the next generation of children to learn.’ As the driving force behind the facility, Terry Frost was playfully nicknamed Mr Gunyah in honour of his dedication to seeing the project come to fruition. “If John Trounce is Mr Maranatha, then Terry Frost is Mr Gunyah,” Maranatha general manager Brendan Morris said. Mr Frost described intergenerational learning as a wildfire movement around the world. Of his goal to build the centre, he simply said ‘if you believe in dreams and work on them, it can happen.’ Operational since October, Maranatha Gunyah already has a team of enthusiastic staff and a buoyant enrolment of 92 youngsters. Guests at the opening included school children and educators, community leaders and representatives of the local business community and Local Government along with residents of Maranatha House and students of the centre. The intergenerational room which lies at its heart has been named the ‘Terry Frost Intergenerational Room.’

UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP

A new respect between an ‘old black man’ from dubbo and a northern n orthern b beaches eaches sschoolgirl choolgirl

By LYDIA PEDRANA ONE young, one old, one white and one black. A story of mentorship between an “old black man” from Dubbo and Sydney private school girl isn’t one you stumble upon often, however local identity Riverbank Frank Doolan and 18-year-old Arwen Beaumont-Lee are defying the odds and urging others to follow their lead. Their story began when Ms Beaumont-Lee decided to do her Year 12 major work on contemporary Aboriginal poets. With no ‘real-life’ contacts in the space, she turned to the internet. “I found out about his (Mr Doolan) work through the website Creative Spirits and decided to contact him on Facebook,” Ms Beaumont-Lee told Dubbo Photo News. “He was really enthusiastic about helping me with the project and let me include a poem of his called Bridges.” Communicating about the project over the phone, the pair have fostered a life-long friendship and mutual respect for one another. While they’ve only met once in person when Mr Doolan attended Ms Beaumont-Lee’s major project showcase evening, she said this experience has taught her the value of reaching out to people who you may not encounter in your normal life. “Speaking to him is so rewarding because we have such different world views, yet we share many beliefs like our shared faith in reconciliation,” she said. “He has certainly opened my mind for a greater understanding of the world by reinforcing the fact that we are all united by something and we can all learn from each other. “Receiving his support, validation and even updates about the rain in Dubbo means a lot to me and brightens my days.” But the mentoring hasn’t been one sided, Mr Doolan highly values having had a glimpse into the way the next generation thinks, particularly when it comes to Indigenous matters.

“What I learnt from Arwen is I gott some insight into the way young peoplee in Australia today are feeling about thee n issues and when I say the issues, I mean in particular the Black Lives question,, the elephant in the room in this coun-try,” Mr Doolan said. “They (young people) have got veryy d definite opinions about the way it could be. g “In many ways we are giving young people a bad rap, we think that thee o most important thing in the world to them is their mobile phone and wee think they spend too much time con-g templating their own issues, nothing could be further from the truth.” On January 26, Ms Beaumont-Lee at-tended the ‘Invasion Day’ rally in Syd-ney – an act that surprised Mr Doolan,, who admits he would have advised herr g against attending given the gathering defied COVID-19 restrictions, if shee had asked his opinion. Nevertheless, Ms Beaumont-Lee wentt along on her own accord, updating Mrr Doolan afterwards. “Given the Black Lives Matters (BLM)) d movement rallies that have been held in recent times, we might have dis-n cussed them in conversations Arwen and I, but I haven’t at any time at alll h expressed an opinion either way with Arwen, so I haven’t tried to influencee her, and yet what I find is that she hass n attended different rallies,” Mr Doolan explained. “I got a text the other day on Aus-tralia Day from Arwen and she told mee g she’d just come home after attending the rally and said she it was pretty hott n and sweaty, but it was good, and when d I received that I just smile to myself and think, ‘wow, that’s the level of commit-ment in this young woman, you know.’”” With his naturally progressive out-look in force, Mr Doolan hopes otherss – no matter the age, colour or socioeco-nomic status – go searching for an un-likely friendship of their own. g He believes it is not only rewarding but required. “I’m an old black man, I live in a car-avan on the riverbank a few kilometress from town, the idea that we could havee y a friendship, it’s kind of almost as crazy

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Ideas for the Bunnings site if it becomes vacant The Editor, If the current Bunnings site is vacated (Dubbo Photo News, February 11), that site could be used by a huge church like Hillsong or Edge that has two coffee shops, bookshop, childcare, commercial kitchen. Edge Church International at Reynella, Adelaide has made a big difference to local suburbs’ teen crime rates. The church seats 600 to 900 people twice on Sundays and involves volunteers in cafe, kitchen, security, welcoming. Edge runs three TV cameras pointed at stage, has seven screens behind a band of 16 or so. Sermons are engaging and there is outreach into a community struggling with issues, including family violence and family breakup. Edge has 4000 members and may be interested in starting a satellite church in Dubbo, at the Bunnings Site. The Reynella church was completely renovated by church tradies who gave free labour. The site was previously Reynella markets with stakeholders. Edge is run by a board, some of whose directors are owners of local businesses. Such a church would help our youth and our families, as they negotiate several problems which are prominent in our community concerns. Edge has effective control and supervision. Adrian Tilbrook, Dubbo

Why wait to build the bypass? The Editor, My question is why are we waiting to build the bypass? People need jobs, interest rates are low, Dubbo is growing, and so too is road transport. A bypass would create more business opportunities and be a win-win for all. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders was elected to represent our area and he should be listening to the experts out there (who want the bypass) – engi-

neers, truckies, taxi drivers and the local community, including many people from outside our area who drive through Dubbo. Ann McLachlan, Dubbo

First-hand knowledge of wonderful Lourdes House The Editor, I had the misfortune to suffer a second stroke, but so very fortunate to find myself in such a professional medical facility in Lourdes House. For those who do not know the wonders of such a place as this, in the city of Dubbo and surrounding areas, because of my first-hand experience I wish to share my thoughts and very sincere gratitude to all who displayed such excellence during my recovery. I was most impressed with the quality and professionalism shown by the physiotherapists, doctors, nurses and office staff. Congratulations to the wardsmen, gardeners, chefs, food-presenters, service providers and all involved to make this such a special place. The quality of administration and those responsible for the hygiene and cleanliness throughout the building was first class. To anybody I have missed I wish also to thank you for making Lourdes House so special to all in need. I am speaking from my own personal experience and of what I witnessed with other patients. On their arrival being very damaged individuals, but after the great care from all, they too were healed. On discharge after weeks of such great care, they also left with such a positive attitude and change in their outlook and ability to cope with the future. To all those I have mentioned I want to express my very sincere thanks and gratitude for what I experienced and gained from this first-class facility in our own city of Dubbo. Joan Frecklington, Dubbo

With a banjo on their knees IT’S great to see Dubbo residents driving to outlying towns to support their local businesses and tourist attractions and that’s just what Elsie Howe and three of her mates did when they jumped in a car to travel to Yeoval. Elsie told Dubbo Photo News they visited out the 'More than a Poet' Museum’, which pays tribute to AB ‘Banjo’ Patterson who spent his early years in town, but said there was plenty else to see. “We had a very enjoyable day there – not only checking out the well-documented ‘More than a Poet’ museum,

but also the nearby Bush Park dotted with amazing large sculptures. The crew also sat in for what turned out to be several hours enjoying the creative works of a string of bush poets from across the state. “A pity that such an enjoyable laid-back event wasn't more widely advertised in advance by the organisers in Orange,” she said. “Sunday's 'Brunch with Banjo at Yeoval' was part of the week-long Banjo Paterson Australian Poetry Festival organised by Orange 360. Keep an eye open for next year's event – four Dubbo residents were certainly

pleased they'd caught this year's one. “A non-stop list of performers all Sunday – a good number of whom were women – delighted the audience with readings of their own poems, which often strayed a long way from the traditional rural themes to modern-day subjects – from errant shopping trolleys to tofu.” Bush Poets, including multi-award winners, came from across NSW, from the Far North Coast to Newcastle and the Blue Mountains, as well as the enthusiastic Wombat Bush Poets Group from the less-distant Hilltops region.

Thumbs Down to people who are moving house and think it is okay to leave your rubbish and old furniture on the footpaths. Don’t be lazy, do the right thing and take it to the tip.

Thumbs Up to the butcher at Butchers on Macquarie for his great kindness towards me. Your generosity really blessed me and you made my day! Thank you very much. May you be blessed abundantly for your kindliness, goodness and compassion.

& Thumbs Up to the CSU Dental Unit in Dubbo, behind the private

hospital. The admin, nursing and dental staff are at the top of their game. After two visits in seven days, one an emergency, a big thank you to Dr Jay, dental nurse Polly and students Ehab and Alexandra. Such a wonderful asset for Dubbo, we are very lucky to have them in our city.

70 year ‘hitch’ Contributed by MICHELLE POCKNALL KEN and Hazel Pocknall have been married for 70 years and celebrated their milestone wedding anniversary at the Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club with family on February 3. Sharing the celebrations were their three sons, Geoffrey, Terry and Garry along with partners Michelle and Julie. Ken is a founding member of the Wellington Men’s Shed and Len Edwards was also on hand representing that group of blokes, presenting the still-happy couple with a card signed by shed members as well as delivering gifts of flowers and a locally baked cake. Ken Pocknall and Hazel Tremain were married at the Yeoval Union Church on February 3, 1951 and following the wedding ceremony in Yeoval they then had to travel to Orange to have their wedding photographs taken. The couple settled at “Broadwater”, Yeoval where they had their three sons, a family which has grown with the addition of four grandchildren and six great grandchildren. On their retirement and sale of “Broadwater” they moved to Wellington where both Ken and Hazel have been active in the Wellington community, Ken being a foundation member of Wellington’s Men’s Shed and Hazel a regular volunteer at the Wellington Christian Book Shop. They have travelled extensively overseas and within Australia.

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.

VALE NOEL CHARTERS

“Family and Football”

Left: Noel and Noelene shared 59 years of marriage. Above: Country Firsts, Noel is front left and Country Firsts captain Steve Mortimer center. Right: Noel and Noelene Charters with brothers Chris and Steve Mortimer. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

By BRYSON LUFF THESE three words summed up the life of Noel Charters according to wife Noelene. Undoubtedly there was more to Noel than that, but certainly they were two of his greatest passions and indeed, both will be so much poorer after his passing last week at the age of 83. Noel came from Forbes to Gilgandra after the Castlereagh River floods had decimated the town in 1955. He was a builder, one of a team whose job it was to repair damaged homes and construct

new dwellings for the residents. Noel never left Gilgandra! Meeting Noeline was obviously one of the main influences on his staying. He quickly became involved in rugby league in Gilgandra and was a member of the local team that defeated Binnaway 13-0 to win its first Group 14 First Grade premiership in 1956. Noel was a hooker. “When hookers were hookers” as he put it! After he hung up his boots, Noel turned his attention to mentoring young players and later, the administration of rugby league. He coached numerous Gilgan-

dra premiership winning sides and was a great tutor for aspiring young players. Noel’s passion for the game and ability as an administrator saw him elected as the President of Group 14 Rugby League for many years as well as an extended term on the Western Division Board including time in the head role. Noel did not confine his giving to his hometown and the west of the mountains, tackling numerous administrative roles with NSW Country Rugby League (CRL) including as a member of the Bound-

aries Committee. Noel was also selected as Manager of many Country representative teams. Such was Noel’s contribution to the game of rugby league, he was deservedly awarded Life Memberships to Gilgandra Junior Rugby League, Group 14 Rugby League, Western Division Rugby League and NSW Country Rugby League (and subsequently NSW Rugby League).

He was also Patron of Castlereagh Rugby League, a competition he helped forge when Group 14 was wound up.

Noel was a true servant to the game and was much respected throughout both the rugby league and wider communities as was demonstrated when he was farewelled in Gilgandra on Monday.

Whiteley returned as President By GEOFF MANN

Paramount Tennis: Mark Campbell, Charlie Whiteley and Sean Basile. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

CHARLES Whiteley will enter his third term as president on the back of one of the club’s most successful years in recent history. Charlie will have Mark Campbell to handle the Treasurer’s duties for the third successive year as well, while secretary Sean Basile is back for a second year. “Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the club recorded an increase in membership while social court hire increased dramatically on previous years,” Charles reported at the AGM. The club also installed two new light towers thanks to

funding from the Australian government. All 12 courts at the Wingewarra St complex are allowing more people to play in the popular night competitions and players are reaping the benefits of five courts that were re-surfaced through the club’s lease agreement with the Dubbo Regional Council. Paramount Tennis Club has started the 2021 season in a strong position with over 100 players competing across the A, B and C Grade night competitions while the numbers for social tennis on a Tuesday morning and evening are also strong which is very pleasing. “We couldn’t be happier

with the participation numbers at the club. We are offering more and more tennis whether it’s for social play, weekend tournaments or for juniors, and we are continuing to get strong participation which is very pleasing,” Whiteley said. In other news from the AGM, Mandy Wells was named Club Person of the Year for her outstanding contribution.

FORMER Dubbo junior basketballer Rebekah Dallinger is experiencing the joys of College Basketball in the United States. Dubbo Basketball coach Claire Hargreaves provided an update on the local Association’s Facebook page. Rebekah is playing as a freshman point guard with Miles Community College women’s basketball team. “One of our very own who started playing with the Dubbo Rams as an 11 year old.

“Burto”, Brent Naden (Wellington Cowboys), Charlie Staines (Forbes Magpies), Rylee Blackhall (Wellington Cowboys), Billy Burns (Parkes Spacemen) and Isaah Yeo (Dubbo CYMS) all feature in the Panthers NRL team while Kayde Ellis spent four years with the Panthers before transferring to the Dragons last season. The Western Rams have provided over 50 players in recent years for Mathews and Ball competitions and many of those players are either in the NRL or currently locked in with various clubs.

Despite the chilly breeze, the Ducks fluffed up their feathers and dived into the outdoor pool. “We had a really enjoyable day thanks to the Forbes Diggers.” Meanwhile, those who were not able to join the bus were splashing up and down in the home pond, indoors at the RSL.

BOWLERS rolled in. Pennants kept the numbers down last week, but the ambience changed little as all were keen to take on the activity called ‘bowls’. Rink 15 had the Scotts – Greg, Gordon and Kevin face Ron Morrison, Gordon Lummis and Ruby Stocking. The Scotts were consistent in the endeavour, scoring a comfortable 18 – 9 win. The first few ends were evenly spread, but a five shot fifth end made the difference. Next door on rink 16 a closer game was played. Frank Armstrong, Mel Giddings and master skip Peter Sinclair, took to Fred O’Sullivan, Shirley Marchant and Skip Bryan (the numbers man) O’Sullivan. With only a margin of 4, the master skip (Peter Sinclair) led his team to the win, 15 – 11. OMG – rink 18 accommodated the ‘girls’ verses the ‘boys’. The girls were represented by Helen Emblem and part-time skip Julie Brown, while the boys were Gary Huggins and Pete Ruzans. All was good till end 4 for the boys, then the girls scored a 4, then a 5 followed by a 6 on the following ends and more continual scoring. The boys were just numbed by the excellent display by the girls’ demolition of 34 – 10. Humble pie! Let’s slip to rink 14, Frank Vaughn, DOC and Ricky See were rolling against Tom Hando, Steve Kelly and Trish Gosper. A 5 shot start on the first end was not enough for the Frank/ DOC/Ricky trio to surpass the determination of their opponents. Tom, Steve and Trish trundled through to take a good win 17 – 14. Chris Crisante, Karen Greenhalge and swinging Leo Balstad tried, but John Cole, Cheryl Storch and swinger Leo Balstad were too good on rink 17, forging a well earned win 19 – 14. Albeit somewhat a windy morning,

all bowlers enjoyed the bowls, then enjoyed the refreshments and chit-chat afterwards. The winners of the day – kinda obvious, were the girls – Julie Brown and Helen Emblem, while the Scotts (Greg, Gordon and Kevin) were the runners-up. Some of the bowlers were good enough to rest their bowl against the Jack, Julie Brown, Shirley Marchant and Ricky See being the good ones. Gary Huggins, Ron Morrison and Kevin Scott were the lucky number winners. At the time of publishing, the Sundy Social will still be at the City patch this coming week, even though the Club may be closed due to the impending transfer to the newly renovated ‘Sporties’. Bowlers will need to register at the Club as the phones may not be available. This could be the last Sundy Social at this patch, all bowlers should come over and take in the end of what has been an excellently prepared patch to bowl on. Thanks to Clarkie and Gumpy for the great greens.ete Last roll on old turf! This Sunday will mark a point in history. It will most likely be the last time the RSL Social bowls will be played on the lawns at the Dubbo City Bowling Club. The famous home of Dubbo Bowls is being transferred to ‘the old but new’ Sporties in Erskine Street. The green turf will be replaced by synthetic rinks that have been laid on the two eastern rinks at the former Railway Club.

By GEOFF MANN WELLINGTON Cowboys showed a season away from league has not been wasted with an enthusiastic group tackling the best of the west in the Bathurst Nines. Led by inspirational coach Justin Toomey-White, the reigning Group XI and Western Division

Champions won six matches in a row, rattling up 100 points in a throw down challenge. “The ‘boys are back”! Cowboys’ board member, strapper, motivator and ‘mum’ Julie Blackhall couldn’t contain her excitement. “It was a good start and some sore bodies including this old

girl! We played with pride in our guernseys and with a passion to keep our community positive in the wake of recent sadness. Everyone who played went out for their mates. It was wonderful to watch.” In a touching gesture, the Cowboys presented a guernsey to their grand final opponents Or-

ange Hawks. “Many of our boys came through the Western Rams system with Mason Pollack and his twin brother Marlin. We wanted to honour Mason who died recently by presenting him with our shirt. It was a mark of respect for Mase and his family,” Julie said softly.

Outback Dragons heading to Canberra

THE Orana Outback Dragons may have missed the annual Lunar New Year Regatta on Darling Harbour because of the pandemic, but that will not stop them dragging the boat to the nation’s capital this weekend. 35 Dragons will be on Lake Burley Griffin competing against clubs from all over Australia in 200 metre races

and the testing 2 km paddle. 11 Dubbo members travelled to Forbes to train with the Regional team last Saturday. Paddlers from Forbes, Parkes, Orange and Bathurst have been working hard on their combination in preparation for the State competition at the Penrith Regatta Centre in March. Next weekend – Sunday 28th February – is another one of the Dragon’s popular Come and Try Days.

IN last week’s Dubbo Photo News we brought you some great action shots from the first night of the Autumn 2021 Mixed League. DUFF President Tim Hosking is ecstatic to have 100 players gathering each Monday night at South Dubbo Oval to compete for the shield. Tim pointed out this is the longest-running and largest Ultimate Frisbee league in regional NSW. “We’ve seen some returning players and a bunch of new starters throughout the competition as people take up our fast and fun non-contact team sport. It is unique where no team has ‘reffing duties’. The players regulate themselves!” Tim says DUFF has also launched the second season of Dubbo Ultimate Youth, hosting a dozen youngsters of ages 10-15. “We provide fun activities to boost skills, fitness and experience for these youngsters as Ultimate players. We’re hoping this will become a fixture for future seasons.” Representative Ultimate is again on the horizon. “Our Dubbo Meerkats mixed rep side is set to re-form and take on Orange and Blue Mountains Clubs in mid-March, working on a lead-up to the Bathurst Stampede tournament which is the largest tournament in regional NSW. Over 20 teams will be participating from across NSW and the ACT.” If you would like to play or just watch, head to South Dubbo Oval on Boundary Rd on Monday around 6pm or follow DUFF at dubboultimate@gmail. com or at www.facebook.com/ Dubboultimate

AUSTRALIAN Boomer’s point guard Patty Mills has invested his not inconsiderable funds in a foundation to assist Indigenous Australians develop their potential through basketball. ‘The court is the attraction but we are far from just a sports development program,” Indigenous Basketball League (ICBL) Director Tyson Demos told an enthralled gathering at Dubbo Sports World. “We run a 10 week program where kids play basketball together but we also deliver educational and health sessions to help young kids be as successful as they can be in whatever they do in life,” the former Illawarra Hawk said. "Coming through the junior system I saw there are barriers that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids face

in mainstream basketball. That's why Patty started Indigenous Basketball Australia and I want to give back now too," Tyson explained.. The initiative’s basketball director made a lighting visit for round two of the Western league on Sunday. He took time to expand on the vision of Patty Mills. "ICBL is not only a basketball competition. It's a one-of-a-kind program where kids will participate in unique inspirational and motivational sessions before every game, they'll be given lunch and then learn about culture, education, health, leadership, safety and wellbeing”. The competition continues each Sunday at Dubbo Sports World before a team will be selected from all other NSW Regional Leagues to represent the State at a National ICBL tournament later in the year.
