Second dog under investigation, owner allegedly RSPCA employee

WOMEN’S DAY

The Right Stuff

By LYDIA PEDRANA SOURCES have told Dubbo Photo News that the owner of the dogs involved in the attack of an elderly woman on a quiet street in East Dubbo last Tuesday now works for the local RSPCA branch. Dubbo Photo News reported last week on allegations that the owner in question was a former head ranger for Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) until late last year. Further allegations by the victim’s family members have revealed that there were two dogs involved in the attack, however only one has been humanely euthanised. Council has confirmed that a second dog is now under investigation, along with the circumstances as to how the incident occurred. “As previously advised, appropriate action will be taken, when the investigation concludes,” DRC director development and environment, Stephen Wallace, told Dubbo Photo News.

TAFE TUSSLE

TAFE NSW and union butt heads By LYDIA PEDRANA TAFE NSW has slammed recent reports claiming the Berejiklian Government was slashing almost 700 frontline jobs from the organisation, including 470 in regional areas. Last month the Community Public Sector Union (CPSU) of NSW accused the government of “deliberately dismantling” the organisation ready for privatisation. “They’re helpfully trimming it down for future corporate buyers to come in and snap it up in another NSW assets fire sale,” Stewart Little, general secretary of the CPSU NSW, said. “What do the people of NSW get from this gutting of critical training infrastructure? Fewer jobs and a hobbled education system. “In the middle of the worst economic downturn that the state has

Stewart Little from the Community Public Sector Union has vowed to ﬁght TAFE NSW job cuts. PHOTO: SUPPLIED TAFE campus, Dubbo. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

seen in a generation, the Berejiklian government is closing pathways to prosperity,” he said. But TAFE NSW has come back swinging saying there are no plans to privatise and that planned restructures would see less than 50 jobs cut, promising that no teach-

ing or in-classroom support staff would be affected. “In 2016, TAFE NSW announced a new One TAFE operating model to bring together 10 separate institutes and its digital delivery arm,” a TAFE NSW spokeswoman said. “We have been transparent with

employees and unions that these teams would go through organisational design as part of the One TAFE modernisation reforms. “These changes will reduce duplication and management layers. “It is expected that the final structures will see a net reduction of fewer than 50 jobs across the organisation. “These are not frontline jobs.” The spokeswoman said the proposed changes aim to provide TAFE NSW students with “a consistent level of service and equal access to information regardless of location, supported with excellent learning environments everywhere”. But former Labor candidate and current Dubbo Deputy Mayor Stephen Lawrence isn’t buying it. “What I would say in response to that is, there’s been a long process of so-called reform in relation

to TAFE and it’s ultimately a decision for cabinet as to whether they privatise TAFE. So it’s one thing for bureaucrats to say there is currently, in inverted commas, there is currently no plans to privatise TAFE, but experts in this area, including the Public Service Association and others recognise that this is exactly where it’s heading,” Mr Lawrence told Dubbo Photo News. “Their so-called reforms are intended to get TAFE ready for privatisation and the current NSW Government has got basically a long history of privatising everything that’s not nailed down.” Meanwhile, Mr Little has pledged to fight job cuts at every stage. “TAFE NSW is a vital piece of infrastructure that must remain in public hands, not dismantled for private operators,” he said.

POISONED PETS

Record number of pets poisoned by mouse bait By LYDIA PEDRANA DUBBO veterinarians have seen a record number of pets suffering rodenticide toxicity, or mouse and rat bait poisonings, in recent months. Such poisoning can occur if a pet ingests the bait directly or eats a rodent which has consumed the bait prior. The bait acts as an anticoagulant by interfering with the animal’s ability to produce blood clotting factors. Local vet Dr Duncan McGinness said last month he saw the most amount of bait poisoning cases in over 20 years. “In February we did 58 clotting tests or 10 to 20 clotting tests per week,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “Most of these tests have been diagnosed as positive rodenticide poisoning.” According to Dr McGinness, often owners have witnessed their pets eat the bait and rush them to a clinic before physical signs are shown. If left longer, signs and symptoms of rodenticide poisoning include, but are not limited to, lethargy, loss of appetite, pale gums, nose bleeds, bleeding under the skin (swelling), blood in urine or stool, coughing, pain and vomiting. A clotting test is done upon arrival to determine how long the pet’s blood takes to clot and, should it take longer than normal, it will be diagnosed and treated for rodenticide toxicity. “The clotting factors need to be restored by giving vitamin K, or in some cases they require plasma or blood transfusions,” Dr McGinness said. “A course of vitamin K for three

to four weeks and then a repeat coagulation test is recommended two to three days after finishing medication. “More medication may be needed if clotting has not returned to normal.” Depending on the size of the animal and severity of the case, such treatment can cost between $500 and in excess of $1500. Last week, the team at Pet Medical Centre (PMC) Dubbo treated a young kelpie. The pup arrived at PMC with lethargy, hypothermia, laboured breathing and a mild ‘huff’ type cough. Dr Ross Pedrana immediately performed a clotting test, confirming the poisoning diagnosis, before vitamin K injections and antibiotics were administered. “The dog was placed on an intravenous fluid drop and given a blood transfusion,” Dr Pedrana

said. “The animal stayed in hospital under our care for three days and was discharged with vitamin K tablets and oral antibiotics.” Both Dr McGinness and Dr Pedrana agree that there is no safe way to use baits when you own pets. “We have seen many animals present where the owners are certain that their animals cannot access the bait due to only being placed in the ceiling or bait stations, yet their pets are still af-

fected,” Dr McGinness said. “This could be due to eating an excess of baited mice, or the mice moving the baits around where the pets can access it, or pets destroying the bait stations. “Even owners who have not had any bait on their property, yet the neighbours have; we are seeing baited animals.” Dr McGinness said the only way to avoid such poisonings is to avoid baited mouse traps entirely. z Disclaimer: Lydia Pedrana is the daughter of Dr Ross Pedrana.

“As per the Companion Animals Act 1998, Council has the authority to issue fines, request the dog wear a muzzle, and make any other reasonable request to prevent the dog from doing this again.” While out on a walk, the 79-yearold lady suffered a large laceration to her lower leg during the incident and was transported to hospital by ambulance where she received skin graft surgery before being discharged three days later. Two passing primary school boys came to the woman’s aid during the attack, calling for their mother to contact medics. Still recovering from surgery, the victim is said to be frustrated and unable to drive, with home care nurses visiting daily to check on her wounds. The victim and her family want answers around what will happen to the second dog involved amid concerns a similar attack could happen to someone else. Dubbo Photo News contacted RSPCA NSW in regards to claims that the owner is a current employee, however a response was not received by our print deadline.

GILGANDRA Museum and Historical Society will be able to undergo a number of upgrades and invest in new equipment to help promote the town’s history thanks to $50,909 in federal funding. Parkes MP Mark Coulton said it is one of two projects in the electorate to share in more than $100,000 in funding under the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal’s (FRRR) Tackling Tough Times Together program. “Congratulations to the Gilgandra Museum and Historical Society on successfully receiving funding to upgrade the Rural Museum’s kitchen and exhibition/meeting room, as well as purchase lighting and audio equipment and create a new promotional brochure,” Mr Coulton said. “This will help attract visitors by making it a more enjoyable experience for them, building the capacity, capability and sustainability of the museum.”

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THE Country Women’s Association (CWA) was formed in 1922 when country women were fighting isolation and a lack of health facilities. By 1923 the Association was setting up baby health care centres, funding bush nurses, building and staffing maternity wards, hospitals, schools, rest homes, seaside and mountain holiday cottages – and much more. According to the organisation, the women of the CWA have been initiators, fighters and lobbyists. This trend continues in its 99th year, giving women a voice in the nation’s affairs, structured opportunities to socialise with others, and individually and collectively assist their local communities. Dubbo’s Ruth Shanks AM reached the highest levels of the organisation to become an Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) president. She no longer holds an executive position, even at the branch where she’s a member, the Dubbo Evening, but her main aim is trying to encourage younger women to get involved. “There are many women out there who, I am sure, would make wonderful members of CWA and sometimes all it takes is a visit to a branch to experience what we do,” Mrs Shanks said. “There is no need to wait for an invitation. Information about when and where branches meet

can be obtained from myself and/ or state office. “I never imagined where my life would go before I became a member 51 years ago.” In 2013, Mrs Shanks was elected as president of the ACWW, overseeing global operations from her Dubbo home and in daily contact with the London central office. “I think one of the proudest moments of my tenure, after much advocacy work in conjunction with other international women’s organisations, was in the outcome statement at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in the United Nations, 2018. “The words ‘rural, regional and remote’ were added to this document which is the backbone of our work. The opportunity to attend CSW and be in the General Assembly of the UN was also an amazing experience.” Mrs Shanks says her experiences reinforced the need for local community groups like the CWA, and the need for women in general to become active members. “The most significant attribute of all CWA branches is that we provide a voice for all women, especially regional, rural and remote women, but of course we have wonderful branches in city and coastal areas as well, and they are a significant portion of the membership and support network. “Country women (in fact ALL women) the world over have

all the same issues, for example health care, access to fresh water and sanitation, education, domestic violence, bullying, but in varying degrees. “So, when we have general discussions, we can all understand in some way, shape or form. “We can’t really compare CWA in Australia with many other parts of the world, especially the developing world, however we have the opportunity when we identify an issue or issues – we have the capacity to work on it ourselves and also we have the voice of all tiers of government to initiate some action when re-

quired,” she said. All Australian states have Country Women’s Associations, of which NSW has the largest membership. “I think CWA is unique because the branches and members can do whatever is suitable for their communities, their regions, their country and their members, and they can also – in some small way – have the ability to support women in other countries who may be more disadvantaged than them,” Mrs Shanks said. CWA of NSW and Queensland CWA both celebrate 100 years in 2022.

RAAF BASE REVISITED Gerald Peisley was 15 when his dad passed away, so it was with fond memories he brought in Raymond Peisley’s No.6 Stores Depot RAAF Dubbo gate pass. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Tailor-made memories at RAAF Base By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY OF the hundreds of jobs at No.6 Stores Depot (6SD) RAAF Dubbo, Raymond Lewis Peisley had one of the more unusual. “Dad and his brother-in-law had a tailor shop in Bourke before Dad moved to Dubbo to become a tailor at 6SD,” son Gerald Peisley told Dubbo Photo News after reading our story “Did you work at the RAAF Base?” in last week’s edition. “I can’t remember him having

any other job. He tailored the suits for the officers.” Mr Peisley junior has his father’s original standard issue pass used to access the depot and issued by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It allowed him to enter the depot between 0745 and 1630 for the purpose of “duty”, and was valid between May 31, 1951, and May 31, 1952. Sadly, Mr Peisley passed away in 1951. “I was 15 when he died,” Mr

Peisley said. At 19, Gerald entered the then-compulsory National Service being stationed at Holsworthy for three months and then two years at Singleton camps. “I was in the catering corps. I am not a good cook, but I knew how to shoot a rifle and learned to look after myself. “I played first grade basketball in Dubbo, but I did National Service with 3000 people and at 5’2” I didn’t get to play much,” he laughs.

Outback elder implores churches

EVANGELIST Isaac Gordon, an elder of the Ngemba people from the Brewarrina community in the NSW Outback, has been taking the NSW River Convention to six other remote Aboriginal communities every year for the last 15 years. The conventions usually ended with many people and caravans following him into an Aboriginal camp in Dubbo and he says God has called him not to end the annual conventions in that camp. His aim from 2021 onwards is to have the final weekend as a collaborative gospel outreach alongside all Dubbo churches. Gordon has invited evangelist Bill Newman and his team to bring a message of eternal hope and salvation at four evangelism meetings at the Dubbo Showgrounds from April 16-18 this year.

Glad to think his father is part of the No.6 Stores Depot story, he also revealed another fact not many people alive today can claim. “Dad was born in 1896. There’s not a lot of people around today that can say their dad was born two centuries ago,” Mr Peisley said, explaining he was one of nine children.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Wellington-Dubbo medical woes in spotlight By JOHN RYAN WELLINGTON’S problems with access to adequate health care services have been well documented in recent months, now the town has been selected as one of the venues for a hearing of the Parliamentary Inquiry into rural

and regional health. Seven hundred people from regional and rural communities made harrowing submissions to the Inquiry, highlighting a system that is overstretched, under-resourced and plagued by chronic doctor shortages. A hearing will also be held in

Dubbo, which has been the focus of much national media attention in relation to health service woes. Shadow health minister Ryan Park said the opposition advocated for hearings to be held in regional and rural locations to provide a holistic response to the issues faced by these communities.

“This is an important opportunity for rural and regional communities to share their experience and stories and inform changes to healthcare across the state,” Mr Park said. The hearings will be held in Wellington on May 18 and in Dubbo on May 19, 2021.

THE ONE APOSTLE

By JOHN RYAN IT pays to back community knowledge. At Dubbo Photo News our small team is generally flat out putting this newspaper together each week and it’s a great feeling to know we’re appreciated, and that many locals are willing to give up their time to help make the paper even better. One of the hats Elsie Howe wears is as a member of the Dubbo Field Nats, a fantastic organisation that does so much for the natural environment in our area. She noticed a Paparazzi photograph of a small bird taken by our photographer Emy-Lou and emailed to say she not only

knew what species the bird was, but that she and her colleagues would be more than happy to provide identifications on any species that would otherwise appear unnamed in our pages. Mrs Howe also mentioned the popular, full-of-colour-photos 222-page Plants and Animals publication available at both The Book Connection and the Visitor Information Centre as a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about the native flora and fauna in our region. The book would also suit anyone new to town who’s got an interest in that area. So back to the photo of that bird. Mrs Howe says its ‘ornithologically-accepted’ common name

is Apostle Bird. “Experts had to settle on just one common name because over the years this species has not only been given a variety of them – such as Grey Jumper, Lousy Jack, Happy Family and Twelve Apostles – but the latter two names have also been given to other very different species of ‘social-nesting’ birds which we also see around Dubbo – Whitebrowed and Grey-crowned Babblers and White-winged Choughs,” she told Dubbo Photo News. Whew! “Babblers are definitely birds with attitude, as the photo indicates. “Social and noisy whilst foraging in small groups on the

Dementia Australia’s Carer Wellness program on Tuesday, March 16 DEMENTIA Australia is holding a free online family carer education session for residents living in Dubbo, Cobar and surrounding areas. There are estimated to be more than 3500 people living with dementia in the federal electorate of Parkes. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia in the seat of Parkes is expected to increase to an estimated 4400 by the year 2058. Dementia Australia’s Carer Wellness program is designed for carers, family or friends of a person living with dementia and will focus on strategies, resources and support services for maintaining positive carer wellbeing and effective communication. The session will be held online on Tuesday, March 16, from 10am to 11.30am. Topics include the impact of caring for a person living with dementia on your wellbeing, strategies to improve and maintain your health and wellbeing, and how to access appropriate services and support. Sessions also provide attendees with an opportunity to meet with others who are sharing a similar experience, allowing time to socialise and share important links to local support services.

It’s a great resource in combination with a Bird Field Guide or app to check out birds you could spot around Dubbo, as it has a list of birds recorded from the area, together with preferred habitats and how common they are.

Black rhino birth

By JOHN RYAN IN yet another win for the long-running breeding programs at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, keepers have welcomed the safe arrival of a female Black Rhino calf. For the moment, the new calf and experienced mum Bakhita are being monitored via CCTV cameras and the photo here shows the moment the calf first stood – marking another first in the long history of the Black Rhino breeding program.

Black Rhinos are critically endangered in the wild and a female calf being born is a very significant event, so keepers are social distancing and remote monitoring to allow mother and calf plenty of space to develop their bond and ensure both remain calm. Zookeepers arrived at work on February 24 to find the female calf standing beside Bakhita in the zoo’s behind-the-scenes calv-

ing yard. Taronga Western Plains Zoo director Steve Hinks said it’s the fourth calf for Bakhita, the zoo’s most successful Black Rhino breeding female and also the first female Black Rhino born in Dubbo. “This calf is especially important as it carries the legacy of our Black Rhino breeding bull, Kwanzaa, who sadly passed away in 2020,” Mr Hinks said.

“Kwanzaa played a prominent role in the Black Rhino conservation breeding program here in Dubbo, siring four calves, and it is such a great feeling to see his final calf arrive safely.” Mum and calf are both doing well and will remain behindthe-scenes for the next couple of months before making the move to the Black Rhino paddock on the Zoo circuit.

CANCER CARE CRISIS

Cancer charity pushes to close the gap between country and metro health care By LYDIA PEDRANA ALMOST half of cancer patients in regional NSW struggle to access appropriate treatment because of their location, according to new research by Cancer Council. The survey also revealed that nearly 80 per cent of regional NSW residents are concerned that where they live will affect their chances of surviving cancer, while two thirds believe their whereabouts will affect the quality of care they receive. These findings have formed the basis of Cancer Council NSW’s submission to the parliamentary inquiry into rural and regional health, prompting the charity to call for better access to cancer treatment and care for those in the regions. Cancer Council’s director of Cancer Information and Support, Annie Miller, hopes the inquiry

will find ways to ensure the best possible cancer care can be accessed no matter who you are or where you live. “As the state’s leading cancer charity with a network of more

than 2400 volunteers across NSW, and through our work providing support to people affected by cancer, we hear hundreds of real stories from real people about their cancer experiences and challenges living in regional and remote NSW,” Ms Miller explained. “Cancer outcomes in NSW are among the best in the world, yet outcomes remain poor for people living in rural and remote NSW compared to people living in metropolitan areas. “Evidence clearly demonstrates that the chance of dying from cancer increases with distance from major centres.” Ms Miller said the disparities are a result of poorer access to high-quality care in regional areas, and the fact that regional residents are more likely to be diagnosed with low survival cancers.

Toxic mouse baits leave residents hospitalised

ommendations to help close the health divide between regional and metropolitan NSW. The recommendations included achievable changes such as enhancing access to care via telehealth, ensuring transport to treatment and accommodation assistance is a priority for patients and their families, and helping people with cancer navigate their treatment. The Cancer Council NSW submission is just one of 800 that have been received by the inquiry. According to news reports, dozens of these are from anonymous doctors and nurses on the frontline recounting acts of bullying and medical errors as a result of being over-worked, along with a chronic shortage of staff and resources. With submissions now closed, public hearings for the inquiry will begin on March 19.

RESIDENTS within the Western NSW Local Health District have been hospitalised with suspected poisonings caused by agricultural mouse bait, which should not be used in homes or backyards. Such bait contains zinc phosphide, a highly toxic substance to anyone who inhales or consumes it, especially children. The gas released from the compound can cause poisoning or suffocations, with symptoms including vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, cough, shortness of breath and chest tightness. In response to the recent suspected cases, the NSW Environment Protect Authority (EPA) is offering a free removal and disposal service to anyone who has used the bait in a domestic setting. Carmen Dwyer from the EPA urged those who have used commercial or agricultural grade pesticides inside their homes to make use of the service. “The EPA is concerned that these products may be inside homes and we want to ensure family members and pets are not at risk,” she said. “In some cases, the product may already have been eaten by mice but if there is any leftover product please ring the EPA for free support and advice. “The EPA is offering to arrange a free service by a licensed pest technician to remove this mouse bait and clean the area to ensure your home is safe. “We don’t want residents disturbing bait if it has been placed in ceiling cavities. “It is safer to leave it and ask for assistance, than disturb it.” Ms Dwyer advised residents to ensure any baits they are using inside their homes are specifically intended for domestic use.

AWARDS

Dubbo remains a hot choice among metro movers

Two Wellington businesses named Aussie champions

By LYDIA PEDRANA ONE in five city residents are looking to move to the regions according to a new survey by the Regional Australia Institute (RAI). Further solidifying the trend, Dubbo real estate agent Brentley Goodwin estimates 40 per cent of buyer enquiries are coming from out of towners. RAI research also revealed the main reasons for why metro residents looking for a tree change with respondents citing more space, a better connection to the natural environment, a more relaxed lifestyle and reduced traffic congestion. “What’s really interesting about the survey we had commissioned is that the appeal of Regional Australia is a stronger motivation to move than any dissatisfaction with city life,” RAI CEO Liz Ritchie said. “More than 69 per cent of all those surveyed said reducing general stress and anxiety is a major driver for considering a life outside our capital cities.” Although larger coastal towns are a popular choice among metro movers, Dubbo is certainly holding its own. A director of Raine and Horne Dubbo, Brentley Goodwin said the local branch has seen a jump in enquiries from city people since the pandemic set in this time last year. “Since the introduction of what we know as COVID come in to play since March last year, we are

quiries are coming from those living in cities. With this increased interest from non-local buyers, competition within the Dubbo housing market is heating up. Last weekend, one of Raine and Horne Dubbo’s open for inspections had nearly 40 groups through a three-bedroom, two bathroom, one living and double garage property in Keswick Estate with a price guide between $440,000 and $470,000. On the same day as the inspec-

having a lot of what we call metropolitan buyers jumping on the country areas such as Dubbo,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “I’ve had a lot of city buyers enquire of late, not only because they are classifying Dubbo as a safe zone with COVID, but they are also taking into consideration the median sale price and the fact that Dubbo is so affordable in comparison to the markets that they are used to.” Now, Mr Goodwin estimates around 40 per cent of total en-

tion, 10 of the groups made offers and the property is now under offer for more than $500,000 – $30,000 above the price guide. However, with such a sharp increase in demand for dwelling in regional areas, this week CEO of Real Estate Institute of NSW (REINSW), Tim McKibbin, questioned whether towns like Dubbo can really keep up. “At this stage, key regional markets have shown they are not equipped to satisfy the growing number of people looking to buy and rent homes,” he said. “So, the question is, can regional markets respond to the increase in demand?” According to Mr Goodwin, the answer is yes, although the outcome somewhat depends on the speed of land registration to accommodate the growing population. “We are at an all-time low in terms of land,” Mr Goodwin said. “We have plenty of land being released but it’s not yet registered as available and it won’t be until the end of this year or early next year, so I think once more land is released in Grangewood, Huntingdale, Southlakes etcetera, yes there’s definitely an availability to keep up with supply and demand. “There’s also a section of the RAAF base which will be zoned for residential dwelling so yes, I believe Dubbo has the capacity to uphold the reputation that it has generated over the last few years.”

BLOOMING BIRTHDAY

Poppyz are hot By JOHN RYAN

LEEANNE Shields is celebrating her 10th year in business as a florist and is still contemplating the pathway which saw her go into that business. “I got divorced, I needed a job, and I was getting divorced, and my father had had a market garden down on Macquarie Street years and years ago and he did grow flowers for the Sydney markets as well as his vegetables, so I knew a bit about flowers from that,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “I was a pastry cook before I got married and had kids, but you can’t go back to being a pastry cook, starting at midnight and leaving your kids at home so I got on to this almost by default.

“It’s a crazy business, who would employ a crazy woman at 50-whatever, so I’m better off staying here and working.” She’s also known as one of Dubbo bluntest and most forthright people – she certainly doesn’t put on any airs and graces when dealing with the public. “No, I say what I think – I don’t beat around the bush, I have told many a bride they’re got too many people in their bridal team.” She said the retail flower industry is different to how many people would perceive it. “It’s a lot messier being a florist than it looks, sometimes being a pastry cook is a lot less messy than messing around with flowers.

“I love a funeral over the wedding because people are less demanding, whereas some brides change their minds all the time.” During the lock downs and social distancing last year, she is proud of the fact that during the worst of the virus business went up and that she didn’t close the doors for a single day. “I do talk to a lot of people and a lot of people do go past the front door of the shop and yell or wave every morning and I do have people just dropping in for a yak,” she said. “I find out first about who’s been born, who’s getting married and who’s died, before anybody else in Dubbo, I hatch them, match them and dispatch them.”

GRAIN accumulator Gabby Ray says she loves her job, spending her days liaising with farmers and buying all sorts of grain for Fletcher International. The role moves at a frenetic pace and she says the busy nature of the terminal keeps you on your toes. “There’s lots of moving parts, you’ve got the guys at the weighbridge for when the grain comes in, all the guys in the yard who unload the trucks, we’re in the office liaising with farmers and trying to give them the best price we can and then the people doing logistics, getting the containers here, pack them and then the traders who work with all our overseas customers and then the loading of the trains,” she told Dubbo Photo News. The ag industry has always been in her blood. “I grew up out at Warren on a farm, my mum and dad worked on a couple of properties out there and I loved growing up on the land, it was great, and it gave me a great exposure to the agricultural industry, I went to primary school at St Mary’s in Warren and then high school here in Dubbo at St Johns College. “Initially I was hoping to do

something in the animal industry, I either wanted to be a vet or an animal nutritionist or something like that and when I went to UNE (University of New England) and started doing a Bachelor of Ag I diversified into the grains and found I really enjoyed it so that diverted my path a little bit. She started working at Fletcher’s grain terminal before she finished uni, thinking distance education and a job with a wage was the way to go and says she didn’t realise that mix of practical working and distance study was an option while at school, thinking it was either work or tertiary study, not both at the same time. “It’s unreal, best thing I’ve ever done, I think it’s a much easier option especially if you’ve got to move away for uni, I think it’s definitely a better option, a bit of a blend as such,” she said. “It was something that just evolved because when you’re finishing school they’re all about are you going to go to university, what’s your end goal, what are you doing and I thought it would be three years fulltime study and then you’ve got a degree and that’s the thing but, you know, it kind of puts you behind the eight ball in regards to the workforce but

being able to move home and continue to study and start building a career before you’ve even finished uni is a really great opportunity.” One major advantage she hadn’t factored into her initial plans to shandy work and study was the fact she had so many workmates to draw on for help or advice with assignments. “It’s been so good, there’s such a wealth of knowledge right here. If I ever had a single question about anything all I had to do was look over my computer screen and ask, because so many of the other guys at work have already been through UNE and they’ve done a similar degree and they’ve done so much in this industry so it’s been amazing,” she said. That’s without mentioning how helpful it’s been to be doing assignments about the very real work problems and solutions she was seeing on a daily basis. “It was so beneficial, it’s given me a lot of exposure to a lot of different areas all at once, so doing a lot of different subjects I was always able to draw on a piece of information from something that I’d learnt or experienced or gained from being here, it’s been very helpful.”

Local lifesaver leads learning day By NATALIE LEWIS GEORGE Chapman has made it his life’s work to save the lives of others. With support from the Australian Red Cross and Dubbo Regional Council, the local first aid trainer has organised a Learn CPR and Medical Expo to be held at Dubbo Regional Convention Centre. Mr Chapman said there will be up to 10 first aid trainers on site on the day, all ready and willing to teach people how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). “The trainers come from a diverse range of registered training organisations all located and working in Dubbo,” he said. Mr Chapman has worked hard to expand the AED pro-

gram across the Local Government Area and says it’s now time for greater understanding of what to do in a life-saving situation. “With around 160 AEDs installed and ready for use in the Dubbo Regional Council area, it is time for everyone to know CPR,” he said. “The life you save may be someone very close to you.” The day is aimed at beginner first aiders along with those who may have already done some CPR training in the past. “Even if you have done a first aid course or a CPR course, you should still come along to refresh your skills.” There will be a Medical Expo along with first aid training on the day. “To make the day a little more interesting, we have

added a Medical Expo where you can have your blood pressure checked, your eyes and hearing.” Anyone attending the expo will also be able to speak to trained professionals about everything from treating allergies to obtaining private health insurance. AED distributor Aero Health, along with representatives of the Australian Red Cross will be there on the day. “Everybody has donated their time and equipment, for which we are very grateful,” Mr Chapman said. The Learn CPR and Medical Expo will run from 9am to 4pm on March 13. For more information about Red Cross, including future training sessions, visit: www.redcross.org.au

TENSION in the air rose like a cinnamon tea cake baked at 150 degrees. Under grey skies the wind blustered the Dubbo Showground last Wednesday, February 24, adding to the unease as an assembly of anxious supporters waited to capture the moment a husband or friend would be crowned victorious at the inaugural Dubbo Photo News’ Men’s Bake Off. Country Women’s Association (CWA) professional cake judge Audrey Tremain seemed conflicted as to whether she should keep a straight face, but true to purpose she sliced cakes with the precision of a surgeon in search of the cinnamon tea cake jewel she had come to find. The Dubbo Photo News’ Men’s Bake Off drew contestants from Kintyre Living Retirement Village and Oak Tree Retirement Village, the latter arriving with their cheer squad in the village bus driven by village manager Joanna Wodson.

The gents remained calm and amicable during judging, though looks of concern spread like an uncooked centre, as Mrs Tremain sorted the men from the boys, unceremoniously pushing several of the cakes to one end of the table – and out of the race, as it were. “Don’t be offended,” she sweetly said but the gesture cut deep, and there were men in the crowd whose hopes, everyone knew, were crumbled. “Well, it’s definitely down to these two,” Mrs Tremain matter-of-factly announced. Citing a golden colour, a light and fluffy texture and wellformed shapes for both – the slightest wedge was cut from the centre of each cake for Mrs Tremain to taste. In the quickest of gestures (as if she’d shewn a fly from her face), the commander in chief of those tiny crumbs confidently proclaimed a winner. “That’s the one,” she said, of John O’Brien’s finely baked specimen. All contestants left with a commemorative bag of flour

Noel Bennett was proud to have had his cinnamon tea cake give Mr O’Brien’s a fair run for his money, accepting second place, with Des Pope coming in third. “For many of us this is the first time we’ve ever done anything like this, and possibly it’s the last time,” Mr Bennett said in what appeared to be a victory speech revised at the last minute. To all participants Mrs Tremain gave the worthiest of advice: “Keep trying.”

HIPPY is in Dubbo What is HIPPY you ask? Centacare Bathurst is excited to celebrate 11 years of HIPPY (Home Interaction Program for Parents and Youngsters) in Dubbo. HIPPY is a free home-based early learning program that empowers parents/carers and children alike and is provided for children in the year before school and then in the first year of school.

FORMER Yellow Wiggle and Founder of Heart of the Nation, Greg Page (pictured) has announced he will attend the Dubbo CPR learning day on March 13, at the Dubbo Regional Convention Centre in Darling Street. Entry is free. “Nobody knows like I do the importance of CPR,” Mr Page said. “CPR and the defib machine saved my life and I am so happy to throw my support behind Australian Red Cross and Dubbo Regional Council both of whom are hosting this life

saving event. I urge everybody to go along.” George Chapman, Australian Red Cross first Aid Trainer and organiser of the event, said he is honoured that Greg would return to Dubbo for the event. “Not only will you learn lifesaving CPR and how to use a defib, you could also get your medical questions answered – all for free! You could even bump into Mr Page, so get a wiggle on and come along!” The day will commence at 9am and run nonstop to 4pm.

Mystery solved By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THE missing pieces to the puzzle of details about last weeks’ Time Warp photograph contributed by the granddaughter of a former store owner in Dubbo in the 1940s, Mary Read, have been found. Her grandfather, Vivian Charles Lark’s store was called Money-Savers and was located where Emmanuel Care is today, at 113 Talbragar Street. A remarkable find was the shop’s telephone number at just three digits; 448. Thanks

to Den Whitton for digging out that piece of key information. Money-Savers was one of the first franchise stores to come to Dubbo and the idea of chain stores – at least in 1936 – wasn’t welcomed by all. One newspaper article tells of some towns wanting legislation placed on the Statute Book “to curtail the activities of the chain store, or to bring it on the same basis of payment to employees as the country businessman.” A preliminary meeting was held in Dubbo to which the owner of Money-Savers, Mr Lark and the owners of the

Marcus Clark’s store, were apologies. “If chain stores become established here it will mean the loss of business by our shopkeepers, whether large or small, reduction in senior employees as a result (due to the belief only young girls at low wages were the preference of chain stores) and their consequent, unemployment, vacant shops and houses, movement of employees and their fami-

lies to some other town, and a general trend to stagnation of what is at present a prosperous and growing town,” the meeting attendees believed.

New wing opens at Kintyre Lodge Kintyre Lodge Aged Care residence sets an industry standard of comfort and 24-hour peace of mind which residents and their families naturally expect, but it’s also the little things - the effort to go above and beyond – which sets Kintyre Lodge apart. As we celebrate the opening of our 20-room Browne Wing - which also marks the completion of the residence 81-bed build - it’s the response to the Wing’s new garden which is so heart-warming to see. “The garden is another space where our recreation activity officer Kay can bring residents to enjoy gardening activities including watering, to stimulate the sense of smell and touch of the flowers and plants, or to just sit and socialise too,” Kintyre Living Customer Liaison Manager Danielle Chapman said. “It’s an inclusive space which all residents are free to enjoy, not just those living in Browne Wing but all wings plus residents from the Memory Care wing. It offers everyone another inviting space to share, which is also safe and accessible for wheelchairs and walkers.” The easy to access garden beds include herbs and succulents. Herbs in the herb garden have been specifically chosen by Kintyre Lodge chef Matt, and in the loving care of residents will be grown and harvested before he expertly includes them in their meals. “Matt has asked for very specific herbs. Everyone loves the amazing, freshly prepared food here,” Mrs Chapman said.

The centrepiece of the Browne Wing garden is a large, circular, decorative arbour. “The plan for this beautiful arbour is to have climbing plants trained all over it, so it will create a shaded sanctuary under the greenery where residents can sit and relax.” These simple yet well considered touches to the Kintyre Lodge environment all work toward creating liveable, stimulating and inviting community spaces. Kintyre Living village resident and keen gardener Gary Huggins has generously donated to the Browne Wing, some of the many succulents from his village home’s garden. “He’s donated some of his amazing succulents as well as planted them. He’s done a lot of the planning and informing of what plants would be best to grow here in the Browne Wing garden,” Mrs Chapman said. “This is a second garden and residents now have both areas to use and share their skills and have a bit of a potter. Some residents like to just come here and enjoy the quiet,” Mrs Chapman said. Kintyre Lodge is an 81-bed residential aged care facility is surrounded by the retirement homes of the Kintyre Living Retirement Village. The Lodge caters for all levels of care including high and low residential respite and permanent care, and a dedicated Memory Care Wing specialising in caring for residents with Dementia or Alzheimer’s. The new Browne Wing garden compliments a host of fun, stimulating environments and activities found throughout.

CONcerts

“Men of genius are often dull and inert in society, as a blazing meteor when it descends to earth, is only a stone.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

By JOHN RYAN THE Macquarie Conservatorium 2021 Concert Series is ample evidence Dubbo doesn’t belong to a cultural wasteland, with the line-up featuring four inspiring concerts with outstanding artists. On March 5, saxophonist Nick Russoniello and guitarist Murilo Tanouye are Duo Histoire, opening this year’s series with soul-stirring music by Piazzolla, Granados and Kats-Chernin. June 4, will see virtuoso string ensemble the Alma Moodie Quartet playing masterpieces by Beethoven and Schoenberg, led by acclaimed violinist Kristian Winther. On August 27 Madame Flute features the sensational Jane Rutter, along with brilliant piano accordionist Marcello Maio in an elegant program of French music and on October 31 Australia’s leading young wind players band together as Arcadia Winds, touring for Musica Viva. Macquarie Conservatorium Director, Vivienne Winther says the institu-

tion is delighted to present the very best musicians for Dubbo audiences in 2021. “We came back from COVID cancellations last year and restarted a modified 2020 concert series in September. Now for the 2021 series, our artists will give the normal fulllength concert with interval, but audience numbers are still limited, and advance bookings are essential to be COVID-safe,” she said. Ms Winther gave a rundown of the concerts. Duo Histoire is one of Sydney’s finest classical ensembles and saxophonist Nick Russoniello and guitarist Murilo Tanouye combine their talents in a broad range of repertoire, from Argentinian tango to Spanish romantic music, from Bossa Nova standards to classical duets. Recently the Duo recorded for ABC Classic FM, performed at the Sydney Opera House in the prestigious Utzon Room Series and appeared as soloists with The Metropolitan Orchestra. The Duo’s new album Autumn/Winter is heard regularly on ABC Classic FM and Radio Na-

tional. Their Dubbo concert features works by Piazzolla, Granados and Kats-Chernin. The Alma Moodie Quartet features four of Australia’s finest string players in an exciting new collaboration. Violinist Kristian Winther, violinist Anna da Silva Chen, violist Alexina Hawkins and cellist Thomas Marlin bring a fresh and fearless approach to the string quartet repertoire and their concert will feature master works by Beethoven and Schoenberg. Madame Flute will recreate the atmosphere of a Parisian salon in a program of cabaret, chansons

and classical favourites. Madame Flute celebrates all things French, from the elegance of the Baroque period to the racy nightclubs of the 1920’s, with music by Debussy, Fauré, Poulenc, Ravel, Piaf, Aznavour, Claude Bolling, Michel Legrand and Cole Porter. In 2016, Jane Rutter was awarded the prestigious French medal, Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres, for her significant contribution to the art of the French flute, and this concert is a celebration of this milestone in her life.

NASA’s Mars 2020 space mission saw the Perseverance rover land safely on Mars’ Jezero Crater in February. Guinness World Records has confirmed that this mission and its historic landing have set a number of ground-breaking records. Perseverance is the largest planetary exploration rover, built for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Perseverance is built to the same basic design as its sibling Curiosity but includes additional scientific equipment and a ride-along experimental helicopter, as well as mechanical upgrades (such as stronger wheels), which make it significantly heavier. It has a mass of 1026.4kg, compared to Curiosity’s 900kg, making Perseverance the heaviest payload soft-landed on Mars.

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH MARK PENMAN The passion, drive and will Seeing these three qualities, especially in the young adults Mark Penman trains at Dubbo Athletics Club is something he finds rewarding. While he’s now officially on the books, it’s the many years of volunteering beforehand that got him hooked and interested in developing his skills as an athletics’ coach. Like many parents, Mark gave selfless volunteer hours through training night set-ups, event and club organisation, running of competitions, supporting at away meets, and more. “My children started competing in athletics right from the youngest age group, so it was something that first of all I’d just go down and help with the set-up of the gear. Then as they progressed and enjoyed their running, I slowly started coming in a bit more with the coaching side of things, gradually building up to having a fairsized squad. “I’ve been a committee member for

Sponsored by

the last few years, and when the club goes to state or regional carnivals, I’m generally the club captain.” Mark knows that without volunteers Dubbo Athletics Club, or any junior sporting club wouldn’t survive. “I think, most other organisations could probably agree, everyone’s lives seem to be so busy that it’s really hard to have people commit time to volunteering roles, but to keep operating, especially junior sporting clubs, that’s what it relies on, the volunteers. “Most people who do come down and volunteer find it really rewarding, hence why there’s still a number of committee members - even though they’ve been around for years and even though their kids have grown up and no longer compete in the club - because it is something very rewarding. “There’s some fantastic guys there that put in so much time and effort. Cameron Porteus is one that jumps to

mind. He no longer has any children that compete in athletics, but it’s something he’s been involved in for such a long time, he still continues to come down to set up everything at a normal Friday night meet or any carnivals Dubbo holds,” Mark said. “I know that a lot of people are hesitant to commit some time to volunteering, because we’re all so busy but I find it a real positive experience. I can have so much going on in my mind in a workday, then going down to help coach a group of an afternoon, I can totally separate myself from work and it’s a real positive outlet where you can get involved in the community. It’s certainly something I’d encourage others to have a go at - any volunteering.” When Mark started out, he didn’t know his volunteering hours

would lead to a paid role. “By starting off volunteering and trying to learn as much as I possibly can I now have the opportunity to give the kids good level coaching and be able to show them the right technique and skills. “It is something I did a fair bit of homework and research for and have been lucky enough to have a fair few state level mentors and being able to learn off those guys for a number of years so that’s allowed me to get where I am coaching. ““The kids are all going great. It’s great being around the young adults that train because they’re so committed and dedicated, I think I get a lot out of actually being around the guys; that’ve got the passion, and the drive and the will. I certainly love being around that culture.”

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Nyngan stabbing POLICE are investigating after a man was seriously assaulted and stabbed at Nyngan about 8pm on Saturday night, February 27. A 33-year-old man was allegedly confronted by a group of men on Hoskins Street at Nyngan after leaving a party at the nearby showground, the group assaulting the man by hitting him across the head with a glass bottle, before stabbing him in the abdomen. It’s alleged the group continued to assault the man, before fleeing. The injured man was located by a family member a short time later and taken to Nyngan Hospital, before being transported to Dubbo Hospital for treatment to a suspected punctured lung and heart. Inquiries into the incident are underway and anyone with information is urged to contact police. A cowardly dog act from the sounds of things.

New police on beat OUT of 194 new probationary constables across NSW, five have been allocated to the Orana Mid-Western Police District to join what local superintendent Peter McKenna describes as a great career. “You’re about to embark upon a journey that I think you’re going to love because it really is joining the best job in the world as far as I’m concerned. I’ve been doing it for over 30 years now and I really almost wish I could go back and start where they’re starting,” Supt Mckenna told Dubbo Photo News. “They’re coming to a job where they’re going to be out there helping people, they’re going to be looking after those good members of the community, making sure that people are safe in the community. “Part of that is that they’re going to go up against some bad guys and people out there who want to do the wrong thing, and it’s their job to bring them to justice and make sure that victims are protected and supported,” he said. One of the new recruits, 24-yearold Taylah South, hails from Penrith and said she’s looking forward to the challenge after spending some years working at other jobs. “They said they just needed me out here,” she laughed. “They needed somebody out in Narromine and my name popped up and I said ‘yep, happy to do it’. “The furthest I’d been this side of the mountains was Lithgow prior to getting stationed here. “I came out to visit and there was more than I expected, it’s really good and I really want to work around people,” she said. Matthew Bootes grew up around Terrigal on the Central Coast and said it’s a change from working as a landscaper back home. “I was planting a plant and I was like; you know what, I don’t think this is where I can use my skills the most,” he said. “I love working with people, I love more community-based work, I felt like I was wasting my skills there.” He’ll be stationed at Coonamble and said he knows there’s no beach anywhere in sight. “I’m 22 and I’ve got a lot of life ahead of me and the more experience I get the sooner, I feel like it will change me for the better.” Well said, you two, and wel-

Driver charged after pursuit, car crash POLICE have laid charges after an incident which occurred months ago. About 10.40pm on November 29, police attempted to stop the driver of a Holden Commodore sedan for a random breath test on the Mitchell Highway at Narromine. The driver allegedly failed to stop so a pursuit began, terminat-

ed when officers lost sight of the vehicle. Shortly after, police found the Holden crashed and rolled in a paddock at Webbs Reserve near High Park Road. The 31-year-old male driver sustained critical head injuries and was treated at the scene before being airlifted to Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital where he also underwent mandatory testing. He has since been released. The incident was declared a critical incident and an investiga-

tion commenced by a critical incident investigation team from Central North Police District. Following inquiries, on February 26, the man was issued Court Attendance Notices for police pursuit – not stop – drive at speed, drive with high range PCA – second offence, and drive recklessly/ furiously or speed/manner dangerous second offence. His licence was also suspended. The Trangie man is due to appear at Dubbo Local Court on April 14.

A ﬁve-day Police Bicycle Patrol Operators Course, normally run at Goulburn’s police academy was held in Dubbo. PHOTO: NSW POLICE

DUBBO has done something new – the city has hosted, for the first time in the vast Western Region, a five-day Police Bicycle Patrol Operators Course, which is normally run at Goulburn’s police academy. So, get set to see ever more police on pushbikes, with 18 officers ranging from Dubbo, Gilgandra, Yeoval, Wellington, Mudgee and beyond attending the course. Superintendent Peter McKenna was acting region commander at the time and said it comes as a welcomed addition to training capabilities already offered in this region. “It’s fantastic to see the decentralisation of these courses; the amount of shifts and hours it saves our staff from travelling significant distances in the past when the course can be held in Western Region is a significant step forward,” he said. “It’s both a great opportunity for our staff to do a different style of policing, and another resource which our commands have – the overwhelmingly positive feedback from communities when they see police on bikes in and around CBDs speaks for itself. “It acts as a significant deterrent to antisocial behaviour, and surprisingly they’re able to often make arrests by being able to access places often difficult to police.” z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Coonamble Ag ﬁring up By LEE O’CONNOR THE 2021 Coonamble Ag Field Day is shaping up well with more than 60 exhibitors expected to attend, a fine weather forecast and plenty of optimism around the ag sector and rural communities. Field Day Committee president James Nalder says such a strong season last year after coming out of three years of drought had brought plenty of positivity to the district. "When there hasn't been a Field Day for about 18 months, we're keen to show that rural areas can put these events on safely and successfully,” Mr Nalder said. "We suspect that it could be better than previous years for both exhibitors and attendees, with more money around and great deals and discounts to be had.”

He said many previous exhibitors will be returning with bigger sites booked and he anticipates there'll be more to see in terms of machinery and ag tech. "We've also got a fair bit to offer livestock enterprises this year with a few studs on board, stock handling equipment, labour saving devices and other new developments.” The field days will also boast a range of government agencies and non-government organisations promoting various programs aimed at benefitting people from across the region. There's no need to pre-register for the event, with Coonamble Rugby Club members set to greet you at the gate and overseeing a COVID-safe entry for all. Inside the pavilion smaller stallholders will be set up to display house and garden wares, clothing and appliances – add-

"It's all coming together well, and the council have the grounds looking great," Mr Nalder said. "For farmers it's a great way to see a number of businesses in one location and get the lowdown on what's available but it'll be a great day out for whole families and people of all ages. "The helicopter joy rides that proved so popular last time have just been confirmed – so we're excited to announce that.” The Coonamble Showground gates open at 8.30am on Saturday, March 13 for this year’s Coonamble Ag Field Day.

School staffing crisis WALGETT isn’t the only state school experiencing critical staff shortages according to the NSW Teachers Federation. Teachers at Coomealla High School and Gol Gol Public School near Mildura and Bulahdelah Central School, walked off the job earlier this week protesting the reduction in staffing incentives and continued teacher shortages in rural and remote areas of the state. NSW Teachers Federation Deputy President Henry Rajendra said many teachers at Bulahdelah Central School taught in Walgett and other hard to staff areas before transferring to the coast at a time when there was confidence in the Department’s staffing processes. “Over the past decade, though, the government and Department have weakened previously successful processes that ensured adequate staffing of all schools across the state,” Mr Rajendra said. “Members have declared their preparedness to take further action should the government fail to address the issues. “The NSW Government has let down students, parents and the wider community by failing to provide teachers for every student and every class.”

WAR ON RUBBISH

Clubs cleaning up the river By NATALIE LEWIS FINDING old tyres, chemical drums, chip packets, chocolate wrappers, plastic drink bottles and even an inflatable dinghy that was beyond repair is all part of the reality of Wellington’s Clean Up Australia Day effort in previous years. This Sunday, the Wellington Progress Action Group and Western Paddlers NSW will once again hold a clean up day focusing on the riparian environment near the intersection of the Bell and Macquarie rivers. Not only is it a recreational area frequented by walkers, paddlers and anglers, but the river can also be a collection point for rubbish, making it far less appealing for both humans and local wildlife. “Healthy rivers are important for recreation, outdoor sports and for our mental health,” Western Paddlers NSW president Bron Powell said.

“But rivers can transport the rubbish into other areas, which makes it difficult for the fish and platypus that make it their home.” Bron has participated in many Clean Up Australia Day campaigns along with other regular

rubbish collecting expeditions. Unfortunately, one of the most scenic spots in town is also one of the most frequented areas for litterbugs and a passageway for floating rubbish. “The amount of rubbish has

been increasing as consumerism increases, including the amount of single use plastic,” Bron said. “You see rubbish all the time around the river area. It’s really disappointing, not nice to see.” Bron believes that solving the

problem requires a multi-faced approach. “I think education is important, teaching people the value of the river. In terms of the rubbish, the businesses that produce the food packaging also need to take some responsibility and the government needs to be willing to do something.” Between the land and water-based groups, up to 40 people are expected to attend this weekend’s clean-up effort which will be followed by a picnic lunch. The clean-up starts at Oxley Park near the low-level bridge at 8am, and the paddle starts at the causeway on Falls Rd, 7.45am, and paddles down to Oxley Park. Western Paddlers NSW hold regular clean-up days in the area. An upcoming microplastics event will be held on March 26. For more information or to join in, email westernpaddlersnsw@ gmail.com

FUN OF THE FAIR

Trucks, tractors and all things vintage By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON’S Vintage Fair and Swap Meet committee is preparing for a bumper crowd at this year’s event, with up to 5000 people expected to flock to the local showground on Sunday. Using COVID-safe regulations, organisers have planned the event down to the last detail and will even have a few surprises in store for fair-goers. “It will be a big one this year,” committee member Em Falson told Dubbo Photo News. “We have had more obstacles than usual to remain COVID-safe but we have everything prepared.”

With many other event cancellations during the past 12 months, Ms Falson said that swappers and stallholders are chomping at the bit to get out and about again. “It’s a great opportunity for cars, trucks, tractors and bikes and there’s been a lot of interest. We have planned this for 12 months, it’s one of our main fundraisers of the year.” On the day, there will be a show and shine, mini steam roller, dry walling demonstration, Infigen Energy Tractor Pull, Junior Tractor Pull, Circus West performance, RFDS education plane, SES display, trike rides and live music. A children’s area will in-

clude mini train, PCYC vintage games, face painting and jumping castle. There will also be numerous food vendors and market stalls including arts and crafts, second hand and collectable items, handmade soaps, jewellery, clothing and books. The fun won’t be limited to Sunday, with a host of other activities to round out the weekend of fun. “We had to cancel the Saturday parade due to our inability to enforce crowd control along the street and maintain COVID regulations,” Ms Falson explained. “But we will have two steam engines and vintage vehicles still rolling around

the streets and there is an observation car rally with vintage cars which I describe as a ‘quiz on wheels.” There is also an observation bike rally for enthusiasts of two-wheel transportation and the local antique tractor club will lead a tractor trek around the valley. The annual Vintage Fair has become an iconic event in town that came under the umbrella of Wellington Rotary four years ago. It will run from 8am to 3pm on Sunday, March 7 at Wellington Showground.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Penalised for being an older driver The Editor, I recently turned 85 and Service NSW offered me two options regarding my ability to continue to drive on the roads – a 15-kilometre limit radius in which I can drive, or to do a repeat test in two years. Initially I booked, resentfully, to do their testing as I maintain my daughter and husband’s headstones in Wellington. I live some distance from Wellington and Dubbo. I then realised that doing their test immediately implied that I thought my driving was poor, yet it is not – I have driven since I was 18 and my record speaks for me with the only slur being a parking infringement a few years ago while I was doing voluntary work for a charity. Since no good deed goes unpunished, I paid the $160 fine. Likewise, people who live in a village such as Geurie are outside the 15-kilometre radius for either Dubbo or Wellington, all of whom live in the same Local Government Area. Those people who live in Stuart Town would be outside the 15-kilometre radius so unable to travel either to Wellington or Orange, so how many others will be caught in this – people who live in villages or on properties? Why do we accept discrimination as our reward for the tough years we’ve endured while these bureaucrats who make these rules sit in airconditioned comfort on the shoulders of the aged. I am gutted. Only two forms should be needed for the elderly to renew their driver licenses – your driving record and your medical record. Name withheld. Dubbo Photo News has spoken to the person who wrote this letter and accepts there are valid reasons for personal details to remain private.

the region has seen in the renewable energy space, it was identified that the policy be revised to include Wind Energy Farms to enter into a Planning Agreement with Council for $3350 per year per turbine and an additional $3500 per Mega Watt of Alternating Current (AC) installed capacity”. VPAs (Voluntary Planning Agreements) are used often by proponents of renewable energy projects because they give clarity and certainty to the expenses that are likely to be incurred over the life of the project. They also provide a means by which proponents can gain a social licence to operate and broaden the economic base of the project. However, the benefits to the community are uncertain if they are used in an ad hoc and poorly targeted manner. The impact of each one of the Solar and Wind Farm developments will have differing levels of impacts on each one of the affected rural communities in the old Wellington Local Government area. From the documents I have seen, $3350 per tower per year looks remarkably like the amount the Wind Farm is paying landowners adjacent to neighbours hosting turbines who have to agree not to complain or sign petitions, etc. They have no right to mention any concerns they have because they have given away those rights in the Agreement they have entered into. Neighbourhood agreements for those who may be affected by noise and traffic also mention payments in exchange for not making complaints. In essence these are undertakings made during the approval process that mask the true impact of the proposal. I would hope that DRC has considered these factors before accepting the VPA money. Nat Barton, Wellington

The impact of Solar and Wind Farm developments Numbers don’t stack up for River St Bridge The Editor, I refer to deliberations by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) concerning planning agreements for Wind Farms and in particular this statement: “Given how much growth

The Editor, After the NSW Government was forced to reveal benefit-cost ratio (BCR) data recently, we learnt that none of the Dubbo bridge lo-

cations studied even approached value for money. For those unaccustomed to ‘econo-speak’, BCRs that are less than 1 do not produce any net benefits compared to the costs. Only projects with a BCR greater than 1 start producing benefits in return for the money invested in them. BCRs are used in business and industry as a guide to wise investments. Companies are interested in making profits, not losses. A BCR much larger than 1 is usually required before a project is even considered. Why invest in a project with a BCR of 1.5 when you can achieve bigger bangs for your buck with a project carrying a BCR of 5 or 10? Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders’ preferred bridge location of River Street has a pitiful BCR of 0.3. If Dugald Saunders was a stockbroker, would you hire him to handle your investments? With him in control of your money, you could soon be living under a bridge, literally. The River Street Bridge is just another example of how fiscally irresponsible the current NSW Government is. If they were interested in delivering a project for the public that was value for money, they would be looking at better options. Only Troy Bridge has the potential to deliver a project with a BCR of far greater than 1. It makes

you wonder what criteria Dugald Saunders did take into consideration when choosing his preferred bridge option. One of Saunders’ tactics has been threatening to take the funding away from Dubbo if we don’t like his generous offer. Considering that the River Street Bridge is going to deliver more cons for Dubbo than pros, all I can say is: YES PLEASE! Dubbo deserves much better! Karina McLachlain, Dubbo

Education Department has failed Walgett The Editor, As a former school teacher who has spent my entire career in challenging schools, I am prepared to work with the NSW Minister on solutions for the Walgett Community College. The Minister just needs to drop the politics and the secrecy and accept my help. I know the structures, the programs and initiatives that should be in place to improve Walgett because I have designed and successfully implemented them in other schools. Based on the information that has been given to me, there should have been an attendance plan in place for this school. The attendance has dropped so low that one should have been triggered. The Department seemingly failed to act in this regard. They have also failed to recognise the

unique nature of Walgett Community College and the needs of the kids that attend that school and put in place individual learning plans. Also, the principal should’ve be able to draw in multiple government agencies including health, mental health, justice, and family services to assist and to provide a wraparound service for the school and the wider community. From where I’m standing, the previous principals have not been given the support to do this. That leadership must come from the top and the education minister should have been driving it. She was asleep at the wheel and so was her secretary of education Mark Scott. I’ve spoken to many families and groups in Walgett who are concerned about the future of the school. I have a planned trip to Walgett with Roy Butler in March. The Minister and Mark Scott should get in their cars and join me on that trip. The Hon. Mark Banasiak MLC, Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party

Walgett Community College is at a crisis point Roy Butler

Member for Barwon ❚ OPINION FOR over 18 months I have consistently raised with the Minister for Education my concerns regarding Walgett Community College. I have expressed in strong terms the need for the Minister to act, not for political gain but to ensure that kids in Walgett have access to a well-resourced, safe and stable school environment. In recent days we have seen teachers walk out of the school in protest citing dire, ongoing and

“significant” staffing issues. Only seven out of 22 teaching positions are currently working at the school, 11 roles are open for recruitment with the balance possibly on long term leave, with at least one teacher on leave due to a violent incident. The recruitment of the 11 teachers only started after the commencement of the first term. In addition, the principal has left the school without any communication with the Walgett community, parents or kids. The issues around schooling in Walgett have now reached a crisis point. I have avoided publicly talking about this issue as I know the effect media attention has had on the mental health and wellbeing of the Walgett community.

I feel for the children who attend Walgett Community College and I fear the impact that negative stories will have on them. Negative publicity has the potential to lower the self-esteem of these kids. The situation at Walgett is close to being a downward spiral. Walgett is a strong community with a weak education system,

it’s time for leadership and hard decisions. I have attempted to work constructively on the issues that have been raised with me regarding the Walgett Community College. I have done this in private with parents, concerned residents and the Minister for Education because I truly want a long-term stable future for this school. I have done this because the Walgett community deserves bet` The situation at ter than the current circumstancWalgett is close to being es. The kids of Walgett deserve a downward spiral... better.

Parents need to know that now their children will receive the opportunities offered by education, catch-up is the worst solution for children missing opportunities. A way forward must be developed in conjunction with the community. There needs to be a new plan for the Walgett Community College and that plan needs to be enacted immediately for the sake of these kids. z Roy Butler is the Member for Barwon and a member of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party

Thumbs Up to the lovely lady serving me at a checkout at Woolies Orana Mall for the beautiful roses that she gave me free of charge! I didn’t get the kind lady’s name but she was wearing “bees ears” because as she said she was busy as a bee! I really appreciate your kindness, friendliness, great service and generous gesture.

Thumbs Down to the cyclists who think they own the Tracker Riley cycleway, travelling too fast and with no respect for other users. It is a shared pathway.

Thumbs Down to Dubbo Regional Council. Are they proud of Dubbo being the weediest city in the west and the city with the most dead trees everywhere you go?

Thumbs Up to the nurse at the Specialist Medical Centre in Myall Street for tending to my dressing, and answering all my questions in a very calm and professional manner. A very big thank you.

Thumbs Up to Alf Cantrell from Yeoval for the wonderful Banjo Paterson Museum.

Jewellers for a quick alteration to some new jewellery. Thumbs Up to Nicole from Nangar Gems for excellent service. Thumbs Down to a Dubbo Regional Council that seems it is not that proud of our local Airport. If they were, wouldn’t they have put out the front of the airport an understandable realistic sign that is both highly creative, has dynamic impact and actually says it’s an airport? Currently the front of airport lacks recognition impact and most certainly doesn’t help ‘sell’ Dubbo or Dubbo Airport to the thousands of locals and tourists that drive past there every week. C’mon Dubbo, we can do much better than what is there, let’s get some better value for our rate money and start ‘selling’ Dubbo at every opportunity, versus putting up signs and structures that are boring and meaningless to most. Maybe Dubbo Photo News in conjunction with council could run an airport sign design competition that would let the whole community have some input as to how we present this, and maybe position dynamically other key areas of our wonderful city.

SUDOKU EXTRA

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.

Well “Blimey Charlie” she’s turned 21! By GEOFF MANN WHEN Newtown cricketer Charlie Hunt died unexpectedly in 1984 his eldest daughter Jenny was just 13. Jackie, now Pratten and with two young children was three. Charlie had taken the kids to have dinner with their mum, Judy who was working on late night shopping at Orana Mall. Charlie’s death shocked the community – cricket, Dubbo Base Hospital where he worked as an electrician

and the wider populace. He was only 42. My kids tagged him “Blimey” because... well, he was “Blimey Charlie” and always coming out with typical Aussie slang. He would be smiling down now as Jenny – “I don’t know what’ll come of that girl” – has just celebrated 21 years smiling with her loyal clientele at Fine Lines Salon. Jenny, Jackie and mum Jude are known as “Triple J””. Last week the “Triples” raised a glass to “Blimey”.

Socially Sundy By PISTOL PETE WEEKENDS. A time for many and varied sporting activities, from the big paddock at Mudgee hosting the NRL Charity Shield, to the black ribbon around the awesome Mount Panorama motor racing circuit at Bathurst with the Supercars flexing their horsepower, to the humble greens of Dubbo City hosting two Pennant matches. Not to be left behind, the RSL Combination Bowlers gathered to express themselves and get the adrenaline pumping at Dubbo City on Sunday. The greenkeeper-manicured greens were pristine despite heavy overnight rain and 33 avid bowlers relaxed before proceedings, then placed their bowls to begin two and a half hours of “intense” rivalry. Paul Martin, Ross Pharo and Kevin Scott opened their account with a couple of good ends and maintained their lead over Ron Morrison, Ruby Stockings and Gordon Scott before surging to a 3410 win. The trio dropped only their game 5 ends of the 16 avail-able. Annette McMillan and Karen Greenhalge produced some excellent bowls when they paired up against Helen Linnane and Roger Shirwin. Roger was undaunted by the task but unfortunately Annette and Karen proved too good, controlling well for a 20-8 win. Bowls is an intriguing ing game. The clash between Gaye Cottee, Shirley Marchchant and Phil Knight ht against Sue McAuley, Julie Brown and Greg Brown proved that it is any-one’s for the taking. It was neck

and neck all the way for the first 15 ends with Sue, Shirley and Greg two up but a magical three bowls on the last clinched it for their op-ponents. The final score was 13-12. On another Rink it took 11 ends for Steve Kelly, Tom Hando and Chris Crisante to put Carl New, Pete Ruzans and Mel Giddings to the sword. The latter dropped four bowls on the first and from then on they were playing catch ups. Their hopes dropped further when Pete left the game due to illness and it finished up 21-7. In another reasonably close game in the mid sector, Mick Linnane, DOC and Trish Gosper held a two shot lead over Ron McAuley, Gordon Lummis and Peter Sinclair at the break. They say bowls is a game of two halves and this match proved it. From End 9, Ron, Gordon and Peter took their game to a new level and prevented any further scoring by their opponents. Final result was 18-13, a grand comeback! Despite a slightly confusing scorecard, the adjudicators found the master of swing Leo Balstad and teammates Gary Huggins and Eric Satchell defeated himself (Leo Balstad), Helen Emblem and Lionel Ayoub. Both teams were consistent but that alone does not win matches! Leo, Gary and Eric 17-8 winners after claiming 11 of the 16 ends. Good stuff! Best of the Day – Kevin Scott, Ross Pharo and Paul Martin Mar Runners Up – Chris Crisante, Tom HanC do and Steve Kelly. Resters – “Oh those resters” – Paul Martin, Annette McMillan and Pete Ruzans.

WESTERN RAMS 18S

‘Porter points’, and plenty of them By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL WESTERN Rams’ skipper Braye Porter almost crowned himself as the king of Cale Oval in round 2 of the Laurie Daley Cup at the end of February. The super-fit fiveeighth was supreme as the Rams fought

off a determined challenge by the Macarthur (Campbelltown) Tigers midway through the first half to run away 50-16. Porter started and finished one try, outleapt the Tigers fullback to set up another, gave the last pass to Finnley Neilsen for another and capped it off with an 80 metre individual effort

to put the result beyond doubt. The head-geared pivot topped off his tally with seven goals making it a 22-point haul for the day. Other standouts were wingers Walker and Leadbitter, centre West and 17-year-old forward Toby Miller from Parkes who was unstoppable close to the line. Miller scored two tries

Rams Under 16s give up a point By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL AFTER being shocked early by the Monaro Colts in last Sunday’s Laurie Daley Cup in Canberra, the Western Rams fought back to lead by six in the final seconds but they couldn’t hold off the home team who crossed for a converted try and forced a 22all draw. It was a disappointing result but should steel the team for their last round encounter in Tamworth this weekend. Coach Kurt Hancock would no doubt have been disappointed but drew strength from the courageous comeback after coming from behind twice. The draw was in contrast to the

last two rounds when the white and greens had chalked up half centuries against Riverina and the Macarthur (Campbelltown) Tigers. At Cale Oval the week before captain Braye Porter raced over for two tries, kicked seven goals and laid on the last pass for two other four-pointers. He received tremendous support from 17-year-olds Toby Miller (Parkes) and Lachlan Lawson (Mudgee) while wingers Darcy Leadbitter (Forbes) and Nathan Walker (Coonamble) proved to be a handful for their opposite numbers. The Andrew Johns Shield Under 16s showed improvement in Canberra but failed to put points on the board against the much bigger Colts.

Morris Park comes alive By GEOFF MANN Photos contributed by DUBBO CITY SPEEDWAY THE engines revved, spectators roared and the 2021 Speedway season was off to a flying start at the end of February. 85 competitors travelled from all over NSW to compete in what Club spokesperson Brett Williams described as a “watershed event”. ‘We had over 1200 people at our track on Minore Road. Most of us were blown away. It was the biggest crowd in over a decade for a speedway event in Dubbo.”

‘It really was a huge result, a real kick-along for all of us. We’ve battled drought and then COVID over the past few years so to have so many fans and competitors come out to Morris Park was sensational,” he remarked.as the Dubbo club recovered from two season's impacted by drought and COVID-19. Brett says the full program included NSW Late Models and NSW Formula 500's “with Junior drivers, Production sedans, Fast fours, limited sedans and the crashing bashing fender benders.” Winners on the night z NSW Late models – John Lodge

DUBBO DUCKS GOLF

Peter’s prayers were answered! By GEOFF MANN

Lady golfers tee off! AFTER the excitement of last year’s NSW Womens Open Golf Tournament in Dubbo, club members are polishing their clubs for a new season. The fairways are trimmed, the greens are true and the golfers are pumped. The ladies are keen to emulate the stroke play and finesse of the international players who had everyone captivated this time last year. In fact, the PGA Tournament ran from Feb 27 to Mar 1. Action for season 2021 started today (Thursday). Dubbo Photo News will have some shots next week..

TWENTY six Dubbo Veteran Swimming Club ‘Duckies” fluffed their feathers on Sunday according to Judy Walsh. “Going by the times and the lack of breakers, it seems most of the flock swam close to their nominations,” she mused. Peter Hargreaves claimed the 50 metre freestyle in a well-timed race. “Pete has been in excellent form but el-Presidento, Henry Willcockson tried that little bit too hard and broke! It was especially heartening for Pete after his heartbreak loss to Josh Bird the week before. Perhaps his prayers were answered?” The final of the 2 x 50m Backstroke/Breaststroke Relay saw the first two placegetters break allowing Louise Taylor and Roger Peter Hargreaves (above) and Mark Prentice (right).
