REACH FOR THE SKY WHEN you come in to land (whether by air or road) at the Narromine Aviation Museum, a squadron of red-t-shirt-clad volunteers is there to greet you with a warm, well informed welcome and the offer of a rare glimpse into the rich airborne history of the region. The museum, established in 2002 by legendary icon of the air Nancy Bird Walton, and extended again in 2016, has become the ﬂag-bearer for the aviation history of not only Narromine, but the nation. It’s thanks largely to the contribution of this dedicated band of community minded local volunteers that the museum has not only survived and thrived throughout the ups and downs of regional fortunes, but is now looking to further spread its wings with the addition of some unique slices of aviation history for the already remarkable collection housed under its vast roof. Dubbo Photo News landed in Narromine recently for a ﬂying visit with some of the volunteers.

CUT-PRICE FLIGHTS Local tourism, airport and health suffer under new half-price airfare scheme THE federal government’s controversial half-price airfare package has been slammed by those in the regions who claim the little guys have missed out, again. Dubbed a ‘tourism support package’, the $1.2 billion scheme will subsidise half of 800,000 airline tickets to 15 ‘tourism dependent’ destinations around Australia from the beginning of next month. Among the 15 destinations

listed, there are four Queensland locations, including the Gold Coast, Whitsundays, Cairns and Sunshine Coast, but just one in New South Wales, Merimbula. Mayor of Dubbo Ben Shields believes regional NSW has been overlooked, and says the scheme is not only detrimental to the town’s tourism and airport but also important health services. “It’s not just tourism that is suffering from this, Dubbo is a huge medical hub and before COVID, each and every morning literally dozens of medical professionals

would fly into Dubbo, effectively Fly-in-Fly-out (FIFO) doctors, and fly out that afternoon,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “Now, we have nowhere near the number of flights coming into Dubbo compared to what we used to, so therefore, a lot of the medical professionals are finding it hard to get the time that they require to land and to leave, so the decline of our aviation industry has caused it to be harder for our medicos and that is certainly something that we don’t need. “If they had a boost in tour-

ism numbers here, that would mean the airlines would be able to put extra flights on which in turn, would help a lot of our issues when it comes to health services.” Dubbo Regional Airport is also suffering the ongoing implications of the pandemic and these cheap new airfares are only doing more damage by luring holidaymakers away from places like Dubbo, to other parts of the country.

Urgent treatment needed for surgery wait times RECENTLY released Bureau of Health Information (BHI) figures show the state’s elective surgery crisis is not yet over. According to the report, a total of 5,950 people were waiting for longer than clinically recommended for elective surgery over the October to December period, a jump of 1144 over the previous year. The median wait time for non-urgent procedures also blew out by 83 days. Opposition spokesman for health, Ryan Park, said the state government could not hide behind the impact of Covid-19 and must take urgent action to address the crisis. The figures also show emergency departments are under increasing pressure, as is the Ambulance service, with the highest number of call-outs in a decade, leaving patients waiting longer for assistance.

COVER STORY

Cut-price ﬂights hurt locally Continued from page 1

Chairman of the Dubbo Regional Airport Advisory Panel, Greg Mohr, said the airport has lost millions of dollars since COVID-19 hit, and pushed back development plans by five to 10 years. “Dubbo, when it was locked down, when you could only travel through New South Wales, there was a great boom in regional tourism, now that is gone out the window and people are going to get incentives to fly to other areas,” he said. “Everyone has gone through a hard time but regional NSW, and particularly Dubbo, have just come out of a three-year drought, we have been doing it hard for some time, and I feel that smaller operators always get overlooked. “It’s fine for the Federal Government to give money to these airlines, but there’s not one cent that’s been given to Dubbo Regional Airport. “Since the pandemic and the lock down, we have not charged any airline passenger fees, all we have charged them is security fees, which they are being subsided for, so the airlines aren’t paying for that, but we still have an airport that needs to be maintained and kept, especially being a hub for the Royal Flying Doctor Services and the Rural Fire Service, particularly through the fire season.” Along with others snubbed by

the scheme, councillors Shields and Mohr blame Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk for forcing her state’s tourism operators into such dire straits, leaving the government with little choice but to cave to pressure to support the 600,000 Australian jobs tied to the tourism industry. “I know Queensland has been screaming out for tourism to go into that area, however their pre-

A safer place to live and a great

mier continues to shut the place down at the drop of a hat, so that’s basically her fault,” Mr Mohr said. “New South Wales should not have to pay for the sins of Queensland,” Cr Shields added. Following the backlash, Transport Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has promised to “revisit” the initial destination list. Cr Shields said he is active-

ly campaigning for Dubbo to be added and will raise a Mayoral Minute at next Monday’s council meeting. “This needs urgent action from council,” he said. “I’ve initially corresponded with our local MPs my personal opposition to it, but now I think we need the whole council saying in one voice, ‘this is not good enough.’”

INDIAN FESTIVAL

A PLAY OF COLOURS By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY MAHI Jadhav and Shalini Sinha are preparing to celebrate Holi Festival in Dubbo by playing with colours. Traditionally, revellers cover each other in coloured power and water during the Holi festival, to celebrate the beginning of spring and to commemorate various Hindu legends. Members of ORICSCON (Orana Residents of Indian SubContinental Heritage) will celebrate Holi next to the lake adjacent to Wheelers Lane on South Lakes Parade Road this Sunday, March 21, from 1pm onwards. “Anyone who has Indian origins will be celebrating Holi all over the world. It’s celebrated after the harvest is over [in India],” ORISCON secretary Reena Ram said. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

HOUSING SHORTAGE

Solving the region’s housing supply crisis By LYDIA PEDRANA AS city folk continue to migrate away from metro areas to places like Dubbo, a housing shortage crisis is engulfing regional NSW. With the rental vacancy rate in the region at an all-time low and houses selling at record high prices, State Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders threw the ball into the court of local councils, calling on them to ensure there are enough roofs to go over heads. After outlining the NSW Government’s push to attract jobs and people to rural areas at a recent conference, Mr Saunders said the

lack of housing in places like Dubbo could prevent people from taking up such opportunities. “There are going to be thousands of jobs in a variety of sectors, and the one thing the people filling them will all need is somewhere to live,” he said. “We’ve heard time and again about the diabolical state of the rental market and how hard it is for people to find accommodation. “It’s hard to provide jobs and attract people if there’s nowhere for them to live, and councils need to look at not only opening up more land for development, but just as importantly the provision of more

medium-density housing options, as we look to cater for a variety of age groups and employment sectors.” According to realestate.com.au, the median house price in Dubbo as of March 11, 2021 is $390,000 and the median rental price is $360 per week. As per data from the Real Estate Institute of NSW (Orana Division), by the end of 2020, one bedroom dwellings saw the steepest median rent increase reaching a record high of $280 per week – a 30.23 per cent compared to the same period the year prior. Responding to Mr Saunders,

Mayor of Dubbo Ben Shields said there is plenty of land released and ready to go. “When you release land, it’s effectively called rezoning, so there is so much land rezoned and ready to go as residential in Dubbo, that you could put well over 14,000 residential blocks up,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “There’s only around 12,000 residences within all of the Dubbo City area, so effectively, we have as much land available to double our residential size right now. “The thing that is holding back more houses being constructed is the fact that all our builders and

construction industry is flat chat at the moment, they are working overtime, it takes a long time now to get a house built, it takes a long time even to get streets constructed for developers of land, it’s just wrong on so many different levels for Dugald to say it’s all Council’s fault.” However, Mr Saunders said it’s not about the quantity of land available, but rather the diversity of housing types available. “We need a variety of accommodation options and this is the point that is missing from the commentary,” he explained.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Boundary riding By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY ONE of the city’s most vital roadway linkages is progressing with Stage 2 of the $8 million Boundary Road extension project well underway. The 1.2-kilometre, two lane, sealed and fully kerbed extension will connect Boundary Road from Alexandrina Avenue through to Sheraton Road and includes the construction of integrated bike lanes, installation of street lighting and underground electricity, telecommunications, sewer and stormwater infrastructure as well as a footpath on the southern side. Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) infrastructure director Julian Geddes said the project was originally expected to be complete in late 2020 however COVID-19 restrictions and changes to underground utility requirements

mean the project timelines have been extended. “There have been significant announcements in the last twelve months in relation to South East Dubbo,” Mr Geddes said. “Some large commercial developments such as the land swap between council and the RSL have meant we need increased utility services in the South East to accommodate for the increasing growth. “I am very pleased to hear that our staff are taking a proactive approach to work with service providers ensuring we have the appropriate infrastructure to facilitate both residential and commercial developments for decades to come.” Mr Geddes said these added works will also assist with the long-term growth of Keswick Estate with new underground power servicing Council’s subdivision

as it expands in the future, with plenty of work going on in the background to ensure this significant thoroughfare is a well-built piece of infrastructure for the community. “All earthworks are now completed up to the underside of the road pavement along with trenching for utilities,” he said. Works on site are currently on hold as staff work with providers to ensure we have the appropriate infrastructure underground before we build a road on top of it. “The finished product will ease

congestion and make the journey through South Dubbo quicker and safer for vehicles, cycles and pedestrians.” The first stage of the Boundary Road project, between Wheelers Lane and Alexandrina Avenue, was completed by Council in late 2018. The project received $4 million in funding from the NSW Government, and Alkane Resources has contributed $2.3 million under a voluntary planning agreement with Council.

IF you’re part of a sporting club or community, you’ll know it’s not always easy to build resilience and nurture a supportive culture within your sport. Never fear, because help is at hand. This Saturday (March 20) a FREE workshop is being held at the Dubbo Regional Cycling Facility to offer a helping hand for anyone who is interested in promoting good mental health within their sport or club. The Mental Health Matters program is being conducted by Cycling NSW in conjunction with Red Cross, with workshops aiming to assist people to identify and respond to signs of crisis in a team or teammates, which can have a significant impact on mental health. Early intervention and a supportive sporting environment are a winning combination for individuals, clubs and associations. The workshops, funded through the NSW Office of Sport, are offered to people in regional and remote areas and are designed to equip coaches, administrators and others to identify and support people dealing with mental health challenges. People from Dubbo and across the region can register for the FREE workshop, which will be held this Saturday from 11am to 3pm at the Dubbo Regional Cycling Facility, by going to www.redcross.org. au/get-involved/learn/first-aid/ nsw-sports/cycling-nsw

HOUSING SHORTAGE

Safe lending laws must stay, Choice says

Residential construction in Dubbo is booming, but Dubbo’s MP is calling for more diverse accommodation options. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Continued from page 3

“All of the figures and anecdotal evidence shows people are struggling to find housing to suit their needs and budgets – having ‘plenty of land’ available does not solve the problem unless it’s the right type of housing in the right location. “That’s what’s missing in Dubbo. “Hundreds, if not thousands of jobs are coming to regional NSW and I want to make sure we are activating our housing market now, so we don’t get caught out in the next few years.” But Cr Shields said in December, 61 new residences were approved for development, proving that Dubbo Regional Council

(DRC) is playing its part. “Forty-six of those are actual house blocks and 15 of those are different types of residences like flat or duplexes, so the fact that we have been able to get so many approved when it comes to our side of the planning process, shows that Dubbo Regional Council is working as hard as we possibly can to get things approved, but again we can’t be responsible for the fact that builders have got so much work on that they can’t keep up.” Confident that local councils are pulling their weight when it comes to land availability, Local Government NSW President Linda Scott believes the State Government needs to work with councils to identify and plug any

gaps, rather than playing the blame game. “In regional NSW, it is clear that NSW councils have plenty of land already zoned for housing, but councils cannot control the decisions of landowners to build and release homes for sale and thus in many parts of NSW, housing supply is constrained,” Ms Scott said. “Rather than the NSW Government blaming councils, local governments would welcome the opportunity to work collaboratively with the NSW Government to identify local needs and collaborate on the best way to deliver this much-needed housing.” Despite refusing to comment on the public debate between Mr Saunders and Cr Shields, Depu-

ty Mayor Stephen Lawrence is also concerned about Dubbo’s housing challenges and is raising a motion at the DRC’s Ordinary Council Meeting later this month. Sharing a copy of the motion with Dubbo Photo News, Cr Lawrence is calling on the DRC CEO to investigate the general state of the region’s housing market, highlight shortages of particular housing types, whether Council has been appropriately making land available for development and outline steps Council should take to address any shortages in particular housing types. Cr Lawrence would like the report delivered to Councillors at the DRC’s Ordinary Council Meeting in May.

GROWING concerns over the proposed axing of safe lending laws that could affect borrowers and investors in the Dubbo and western regions have prompted calls for the Senate to retain existing laws that protect consumers. Consumer groups have condemned the report recommending the repeal of the laws, saying the move would be “a recipe for economic disaster”. The Senate crossbench will soon vote on the proposal, which CEO of consumer group Choice Alan Kirkland says ignores the “clear economic evidence” that shows an already overheated housing market will be even more inflated with the removal of safe lending laws, and that home ownership will be pushed even further out of reach for many Australians.

COMMUNITY CONCERN

Minister’s dud route on inland rail

RedBee. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

THE already controversial Inland Rail project has now drawn the ire of two powerful rural-based organisations which claim the input of affected communities is being stifled. NSW Farmers and the Country Women’s Association NSW (CWA) say they’re alarmed that the project, the construction of which will affect land holders and communities in the wider Dubbo and western regions, has been declared a “critical significant infrastructure project”, effectively derailing local

consultation. The order, issued by NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes, means people would be prevented from submitting their objections and the peak bodies representing regional communities and farming industries across the state aren’t happy. NSW Farmers Inland Rail Taskforce chair, Adrian Lyons, said the move rubs salt into old wounds with the project already “littered with poor decisions and inadequate reports on potential effects of noise and vibration, business interruption

and loss of the use of land because of this significant project that could be life-changing for many”. The concerns were echoed by the CWA’s NSW CEO Danica Leys, who believes community concerns over the proposed route have already been ignored, with this latest development driving the final nail into the coffin of local consultation. “The ARTC will be able to hide behind this order, with potentially devastating consequences for some in regional communities,” Ms Leys said.

HEADSHAVE FOR HEADSPACE

MATERNITY SERVICES

Locals encouraged to lose their locks

Bush babies battle: call to protect services

By LYDIA PEDRANA HE may have a Council meeting straight afterwards, but that hasn’t stopped former Labor candidate and Deputy Mayor Stephen Lawrence from signing up for a head shave to raise funds for youth mental health organisation, headspace Dubbo, later this month. Councillor Lawrence will join headspace Dubbo’s community and youth engagement coordinator, Amy Mines, and local father-daughter duo, Molly and Mark Groarke, for a buzz cut in the hope the community will lose fewer young people to suicide and see more reaching out for help when they need it. Following the shave, the brave participants will have their heads sprayed ‘headspace green’. With a goal of $10,000, headspace will use monies raised to implement free mental health and alcohol first aid training for 18- to 25-year-olds to become Youth Ambassadors and look out for their peers in their workplaces, training institutions, sporting clubs and in the wider community. Statistics show that 75 per cent of young people will experience mental ill health before the age of 25 and with many turning to drugs and alcohol, Ms Mines believes education and awareness is key. “Young people quite often feel that their life issues are not serious or important enough to bother with a service or to reach out for help and quite often they will turn to alcohol and other drugs as a coping strategy,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “The relationship between drugs and alcohol and mental ill health are significant and we want more young people to understand the detrimental effects substances can have on someone experiencing mental ill health. “We also want to encourage more young people to be educated about the need to know what their friends are using, how they are feeling and when to call for help, and to not be afraid to call for help for fear of police involvement – it is important that paramedics know what a young person may have consumed and what they have been going through so they can provide the

most relevant support.” Ms Groarke, 20, has lived experience with mental ill health and believes encouraging young people to reach out when they are struggling should be a community priority. “This head shave is very important, not just for the people involved, but for the community as a whole to help raise awareness for mental health and the stigma that surrounds it,” she said. “The fact that young people like myself will be empowered to become Youth Ambassadors in our community and support their peers in reaching out for

the help they need, when they need it is something I feel is terribly important and the future of our young people depends on it.” Also, extraordinarily passionate about raising ongoing awareness of youth mental health and encouraging young members of the community not to suffer alone, Ms Mines didn’t need any convincing when it came to signing up for the shave. “I am feeling really excited,” she said. “The fact that we have got the support of Dubbo Regional Council, several businesses in town and it is for such an important cause, I feel confident that

the community will get behind us and help us reach our goal of $10,000, and the headshave will be totally worth it.” The headshave for headspace Dubbo event will take place on Monday, March 22 from 1pm at the Church Street Rotunda. Well-known real estate agent Brentley Goodwin is emceeing the day and running a live auction with the highest bidders winning the honour of shaving Cr Lawrence, Ms Mines, Ms and Mr Groarke’s heads.

THE critical role of maternity units in rural communities like those in the Dubbo and western regions was highlighted this week at a gathering of rural doctors, industry leaders and politicians in Canberra, the focus of which was the urgent need to safeguard rural maternity units from being closed or downgraded. The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) hosted the lunch, where stakeholders heard of the essential nature of birthing services in the bush, and the benefits to mothers, babies, families and the entire community, and of the significantly adverse impact on a community when a rural maternity unit is closed or downgraded. Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, who is also Minister for Regional Health, attended the lunch where RDAA president Dr John Hall explained that the impact worsens when doctors and other health professionals are forced to leave town to seek work elsewhere. “Access to local maternity services sits alongside a patient’s access to a regular GP, emergency care and inpatient hospital care as a basic human right,” Dr Hall said. The gathering called on the federal government to move more quickly to deliver more rural generalist doctors with obstetric and anaesthetic qualifications into the rural communities that need them. “It also means ensuring that measures designed to attract more doctors to rural and remote communities are actually fulfilling that purpose,” Dr Hall said.

AGRIBUSINESS

New generation breaking rural ﬁnance glass ceiling By JEN COWLEY ASK Edwina Smith exactly what she does and it’s soon clear the clue to the essence of her job lies in its title: Agribusiness Relationship Assistant. “Essentially, I assist the bank managers with clients and with the processes involved with providing finance for primary producers, but it’s very much about building relationships,” according to the Moree born-and-bred university graduate who says her foray into rural finance was almost accidental, but that it’s been the happiest accident of her young life. “I grew up on a farm, and was always involved with the running of the place and how it all worked. That sparked my interest in the business side of the rural industry, but I wasn’t specifically interested in banking,” she says, recalling leaving the University of New England in Armidale with a double degree in Agriculture and business tucked under her arm. “The alternative was a career in agronomy and that wasn’t for me, so I pursued the business side of things, and I’m so glad I did!” Sitting on the other side of the desk has been enlightening, says

Agribusiness Relationship Assistant, Edwina Smith, says women should not be put off a rewarding career in rural banking because of the industry’s “blokey” image. The recent university graduate, who has a farming background, says it’s an exciting time to be involved with agriculture. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/JEN COWLEY

the bubbly Edwina, speaking ten to the dozen as she lists the things she loves about the role. “Until I came here, my experience with rural banking was joining my parents at the kitchen table when the bank manager came for a farm visit, so it’s been an eyeopener to see things from a differ-

ent perspective.” Edwina believes having a farming background has given her a leg up in terms of a working knowledge of primary production, but that it helps enormously to have that rapport when it comes to building relationships with clients.

“Yes, you could certainly do the job without that background, but there’s no doubt I’ve benefitted from having that mutual understanding. I have clients who, when they ring, will ask how things are going with my family on the farm at Moree. I have that touch point, that connection with the clients. Common ground, I suppose. Call it street cred.” Edwina agrees that rural finance is traditionally a sector dominated largely by men, but points out with pride that the organisation for which she works, Rural Bank, is employing more and more women across a variety of roles. “That’s great because there’s generally an acknowledgement across the whole agricultural sector that women are very much a part of the equation and that they’re very capable. “This is definitely a job I would encourage others to consider, particularly young rural women. Coming from a farming background, it’s so satisfying to be in a position to assist and work with others in the industry.” Asked to share some of the challenges she’s come up against, Edwina takes a moment to consider before predictably but justifiably

pointing to the ravages of drought as presenting a testing time across the agricultural sector and all its associated industries. “We’re just coming out of a really tough period in the rural industries, with the drought having hit very hard over, in many instances, a very long time, so it’s been an interesting time to be in starting out in a career in rural finance. “But it’s also an exciting time to be involved with agriculture because there’s such a bright future, thanks largely to technology. The industry is really evolving and that’s such an exciting thing to be a part of.” What would she say to other young women who might be considering a career in the agricultural finance sector? “I’d say don’t let the idea of agribusiness being a blokey industry put you off. In fact for anyone, male or female, rural or not – I’d say if you’re not sure what you want to do, go into banking. I can’t recommend it more highly. “You learn so much about how finance works, and I’ll admit that I’m also learning a lot about my own personal finances. I’m even looking at doing a budget for myself, and that has to be a positive!”

CREATIVE

Artist shares ‘Herstory’ BY NATALIE LEWIS WITH her first solo exhibition Herstory honouring the journey of rural women from Central West NSW, Coral Dolan is also carving her own pathway in the world of art. “It’s like I’ve found a voice and art is a vehicle to express myself and the lives of others,” she said. Moving to Dubbo three years ago after obtaining qualifications in fine arts in her native New Zealand, she’s always enjoyed being creative but has seriously immersed herself in her craft in recent times. This included involvement in the Glimpse of Precious Thought exhibition exploring the portrayal of women in Auckland two years ago. She is also the latest artist to feature in the HomeGround program at Western Plains Cultural Centre, which offers emerging regional artists the opportunity to exhibit in a high-profile space and work with a professional curator to extend their practice. In this instance, Dolan has worked with Mariam Abboud for the past

two years, with the final stage of art making beginning nine months ago. “It was just like birthing a baby,” she laughed, explaining that the process started at Dundullimal where she spent time exploring what pioneering women had brought to the area. When the historic homestead closed during the COVID-19 lockdown last year, the artist began to look further afield and the role of the natural environment became a preoccupation. Her love of exploring and documenting new places, historical artefacts, gardening and botany shone through and the end result is that nature features in her work. The pioneering women represented are from Dundullimal, Wellington, Narromine, Peak Hill, Gilgandra and Gulgong and she was inspired by German zoologist and naturalist Ernst Haeckel, botanist Anna Atkins and local embroiderer, fortune teller and fruiterer Ethel Steadman. Dolan created her mixed media installation using a photographic printing process called

cyanotype, wax and eco-printing methods. “It’s a process that I really love. I wanted it to be light and very feminine and a celebration. “These pioneering women, they have a valid tradition, they have a story. I also have a strong sense of the injustice of women, and the social and community expectations placed on them.” Abboud’s guidance as curator has been an important part of the process. “The context and direction of what I was trying to achieve was really clear. The practical application was harder. As an artist I used to struggle with that. “But it’s been an amazing journey, the emerging artists program giving artists the opportunity to work with a curator. That’s been a fantastic process. That opportunity was wonderful.” “Herstory” by Coral Dolan is on display at Western Plains Cultur- Coral Dolan is the latest artist to feature in the HomeGround program at Western al Centre until Sunday, May 16.

National Small Business Champions By NATALIE LEWIS THIS week Dubbo Works looks at two outstanding achievements from Wellington, where two small business owners have shown that it doesn’t matter where you work, your passion for excellence can still shine through. Two Wellington businesses have featured among the winners at this year’s National Australian Small Business Champion Awards. Wellington business Jespresso was also named as the Champion café at the event which represents the only national recognition program for small businesses. It was honoured for its high standards of excellence in small business practice. Owner Jessica Gough described the gong as recognition for all the hard

work that goes into building a business. Biotech company Pro-Agni was named Champion Agricultural Services and CEO and co-founder Lachlan Campbell welcomed the recognition, saying that it ‘represents real validation for our cutting-edge ag biotechnology.’ “In a conservative industry, I am thrilled that our efforts to commercialise antibiotic-free and methane-reducing livestock supplements has been recognised Australia- wide. “It feels great to be part of a team that takes complex science and turns it into products that create significant efficiencies for producers and meaningful social change for the entire agricultural industry.” Managing Director of Precedent Productions and founder of the awards Steve Loe said the Australian Small Business Cham-

pion Awards is a way to recognise the efforts of small business people whose efforts contribute to the prosperity and vitality of communities across Australia. “As a small business owner myself, I know the vision and dedication to excellence required to succeed. These traits have been displayed in abundance by all of our 2020 Small Business Champions,” Mr Loe said. Winners each received an award statuette, certificate and gained national recognition as an industry leader. In addition, having their passion, dedication, commitment and hard work celebrated amongst their peers was an experience they should never forget. Small businesses from across Australia delivered an impressive array of entries, with winners representing a broad range of industries from Jespresso’s Jessica Gough and Lachlan Campbell from ProAgni have been named all states and territories. as National Small Business Champions.

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY A $30 MILLION tender has been awarded for the construction of a multi-story car park at Dubbo Hospital. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said construction company Hansen Yuncken has been awarded the tender to construct more than 350 additional car spaces at Dubbo Hospital, to be built on the western side of the facility near the soon-to-be-completed Western Cancer Centre. The project will also include a new ground level car park on the south eastern side of the campus near the hospital’s main entrance and Emergency Department. “For years the people of Dubbo have been crying out for increased parking at our hospital, and I actually launched a petition during the 2019 election campaign calling on the NSW Government to prioritise this infrastructure,” Mr Saunders said. “When complete, the Dubbo Hospital Car Park project will support the significant uplift of services at one of the busiest regional referral hospitals in NSW.” He said the project will also support staff by providing additional parking in the new multi-storey car park, which will free up more spaces for patients and visitors close to the hospital’s main entry and Emergency Department. It’s been a busy week for the state member, taking time out for a photo op to celebrate the release of 228,000 Golden Perch into rivers and dams across the region since the beginning of this month. “More than 228,000 is simply a mammoth number of fish,” Mr Saunders said. “It’s even better that these Golden Perch have all gone into waterways in the Dubbo, Mudgee and Wellington regions, and on top of that, they’re Australian natives. This is fantastic news.” Mr Saunders was also pleased

CARS that might otherwise find themselves on the scrap heap are being given a renewed purpose, with students from Dubbo and Cobar using the donated vehicles to help hone their practical automotive skills. Instead of sending unclaimed vehicles to be auctioned or scrapped, Dubbo Regional Council is donating them to TAFE for students to use as a hands-on learning resource. The donation of impounded vehicles whose owners have been uncontactable is part of a partnership between council and TAFE, the benefits of which include training opportunities for HSC, trade and correctional centre students. Cobar’s TAFE students will also be the beneficiaries of a similar donation from local business DRC Drilling. Head Teacher of Automotive Jeremy Reid said the vehicle donations will help prepare automotive students to be job-ready when they enter the workforce.

with the news more of the area’s ailing timber bridges will be replaced under the $500 million Fixing Country Bridges program, citing improved community connections to schools, towns and jobs, allowing easier movement of freight and delivering better outcomes for road safety. “On top of easing the financial burden on councils, this program will create thousands of local jobs throughout regional communities at a time when they’re needed most,” Mr Saunders said. “In the lead-up to the 2019 election we committed to fixing or replacing these bridges and I’m glad that in the Dubbo region alone, we are providing $1.94 million for the replacement of Benelong Bridge, and $1.7 million for the ageing Burrendong No.2 bridge. “There’s also an extra $454,000 to complete the replacement of the older-style timber Terrabella Bridge, which builds on the more than $2.7 million already allocated by the NSW Government to that project.” Dubbo Regional Council mayor Ben Shields welcomed the cash injections. “These bridges are reaching the end of their life so to be able to have the funding to replace them with modern bridges will benefit

local residents and tourists,” Cr Shields said. “In the case of Terrabella Bridge, there are also significant realignment works that will make it easier for large vehicles to use this key transport route.”

Astley’s flashback

LOCAL business owner of Astley’s Plumbing and Hardware, Stuart Astley popped into Dubbo Photo News with some old photos of the business which is around 120 years old.

One photo (above) shows Ritter and Co Plumbers (Astley’s) located at 45 Church Street around the 1930s.

COVER STORY

Spreading history’s wings By JEN COWLEY THE skies above Narromine have long provided a back-drop for the rich aeronautical history of the region. From the landing of the first flight more than a century ago to today’s thriving gliding and aero club activities, the aerodrome at the small but dynamic little central western town has been a drawcard for flying fanatics and aviation aficionados the nation over. But if it’s the Aviation Museum that holds the real beating heart at the end of that rich historical vein, then it’s thanks to a dedicated band of volunteers that the lifeblood keeps pumping. The museum first opened its doors in 2002, with iconic aviatrix Nancy Bird Walton cutting the ribbon, and was extended in 2016. It now proudly boasts some of the most unique displays ever to pay homage to the history of flight. Ably led by long-time and founding chair of the committee, Peter Kierath, the Narromine Aviation Museum volunteers are a feisty bunch, and when we visit on a particularly stormy early Autumn afternoon, we are greeted warmly but briefly because they’re just so keen to share their knowledge and passion for the popular and growing tourist destination. They are 30 in number – “Give or take a few”, we’re told – and they’re to a person deeply committed to seeing the museum expand even further, but the recruitment of new volunteers remains a challenge, particularly with the recent addition of the Tourist Information Service agency. “Sometimes we have to do double shifts,” they tell us. “And we’re all, well, look around you – we’re getting old, so we’d love to get some younger people involved.” Visitors come from all over the country, but the volunteers bemoan the absence of locals who seem not to know what a gem they

have right here on their doorstep. “We get quite a few from Dubbo and we often have people from the Orange region, but locals tend not to know we’re even here, which is a shame.” In any usual year, the visitors come mainly from Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane as they traverse the Newell highway and “take a shortcut” through Narromine. But this hasn’t been any usual year, and the volunteers tell us they’ve noticed a significant increase in the number of Sydney folk visiting, thanks to the pandemic and border closures. “Since the virus, we’ve heard of people flying in to Dubbo, hiring a car and looking around the region for three or four days before flying back to the city,” says one volunteer, while another tells us a group of recent visitors, when asked what brought them to the museum answered, “We’re here to buy from the bush!” It’s a while since we ourselves have visited the museum, and we are instantly reminded as we walk through the doors that this is not only a remarkably comprehensive collection, but it’s also professionally and strikingly presented. It has that “wow” factor. Asked if the volunteers notice that people’s jaws drop once they step through the doors, the answer is a resounding, “Absolutely! “Visitors to the region are always surprised by the scale of the museum, gobsmacked by the extent of the collection, but they’re also astonished by just how much aviation has featured in Narromine’s story. Locals are also surprised at how good this museum is, and they often didn’t even know it was here. “The virus has taught a lot of people a lesson about looking around their own backyard.” So is there a lesson there for small communities that need to fly their flags a little higher? “Yes,” says one volunteer. “But

you also need to have the story to tell and Narromine has that. The story of aviation here goes back more than a hundred years to when the first flight landed here in 1919, and when (aviation pioneers) Keith and Ross Smith were here in February of 1920. The museum came about because we saw an opportunity to tell that story.” ••• WITH their neat red, branded shirts and their infectious enthusiasm, the volunteers each speak with a sense of benevolent ownership of the museum to which they give so much of their time, and it’s clear that they are all also devoted to their community. “I believe strongly in community and with this being our main attraction in the Narromine Shire, it’s very important to us all,” says one of their number when asked why they volunteer.” Another explains that many are direct descendants of those featured in the founding stories, while others are connected in some other way to those stories and people. “So the roots go very deep for some of us,” she says. “I enjoy being out here and talking to people, and my family has a lot of history with the aerodrome. You meet some really interesting people coming through here,” says another volunteer. “One day I met a bloke I went to school with in 1965 and hadn’t seen him since. He’s a Qantas pilot now and he was just up here and flew in for the day with a mate. He saw my name tag and asked if I was the same one he’d gone to school with.” The reasons for their dedication are many, but the constant theme is the importance of the museum to the maintenance and cultivation of Narromine’s story and the sense of community that goes with it. “There’s a significant flow-on effect for the wider community of Narromine from people visit-

ing here, because it keeps them in town a bit longer and they’ll go and have a meal or a cup of coffee, for instance. “That’s an overwhelmingly good feeling to know that I’m not only helping the museum but also helping the whole town.” While the Narromine Aviation Museum is arguably the most comprehensive collection of artefacts, displays, models and memorabilia in regional Australia, this energetic committee believes there’s still loads of scope for the museum to spread its wings even further. Ideally, they would have the support and backing of new volunteers to help achieve those plans – on the nature of which they’re keeping schtum! – and they encourage anyone who is interested

in assisting to get in touch or at the very least, come for a visit and see what a gem sits right here on their doorstep. “It happens in every town, you tend not to look around your own back-yard but once locals are engaged that might help us to get some more volunteers on board. “This place has to survive beyond us. We need to embrace technology and use it to our advantage, but nothing replaces that human touch. Technology will make it easier for visitors to navigate around the museum and learn, but having a personal but professional approach at the door is important. It’s people like us who can tell those stories behind the stories.”

Flying start: Getting a museum off the ground By JEN COWLEY

The Narromine Aviation Museum holds the beating heart of a rich vein of aeronautical history, but it’s a dedicated band of volunteers that keeps the lifeblood of the town’s premier tourist attraction pumping. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

YOU could be forgiven for thinking Peter Kierath is an old airman, but it’s his love of history and his home town that keeps the founding chairman of the Narromine Aviation Museum committee in the pilot’s seat of the region’s popular tourist destination. A former councillor for the local shire for some 21 years, it was part of Peter’s brief to keep city hall abreast of what was going on out at the town’s aerodrome, which had long been synonymous with regional aviation history. “The aero club had been starting to talk about establishing a museum,” Peter recalls, explaining that he and Beryl Hartley – who is now one of the dedicated volunteers who help run the place – turned that talk into action. “Beryl was part of the gliding club, so we knew there was a great story there, one that was worth preserving.” The pair soon found that the more they delved into the history of Narromine’s airborne past, the more of that story came to the fore. “Back then, I only knew a fraction of what I know now,” says Peter – a well-known local retailer for many years who is now retired and devotes much of his time to the museum, which opened in 2002 after a bumpy take-off. With enough money in the jar to pay a curator for the first year, Peter engaged the services of Mike Nelmes, a Canberra-based operator who had worked with the War Memorial and who still assists the committee. “When you start a museum you first have to gain people’s confidence that you know what you’re doing and you’re heading in the right direction and you know how to handle a project of this size,” Peter explains, adding that having a curator of Mike’s calibre was “a big help” with that perception. Having been in the retail business for many a year, Peter knew about displays so together over the course of three months, he and Mike drew up a plan as to how the museum might progress. “Gradually, things began to fall into place.” It was slow going for the fledgling operation in the first little while. “When the doors first opened we did have some memorabilia, not a lot, and we didn’t gather too much for that first three years or so because people were a bit sceptical of what we were doing.

Although he’s the founding chairman of the Narromine Aviation Museum, Peter Kierath has never been an aviator – it’s his great love for history and for his home town that keeps him in the pilot’s seat of the renowned tourist operation. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

“But gradually, our collection grew and some families came forward with significant contributions.” Arguably the cornerstone of the museum’s display is the the famed Wright Flyer – a locally built replica of the Wright Brothers’ 1907 Model A Flyer. “We’ve only had that in the museum for about four years,” Peter says, explaining that until then the remarkable aircraft had been housed in the nearby Bellman hangar for 11 years. “It had been damaged and it was deteriorating badly, so we bought it, repaired it and it’s been on permanent display since then.” It’s a huge and comprehensive collection, and it’s clear that an operation this size doesn’t run on the smell of an oily rag, but the astute businessman keeps a close eye on the coin. “Costs are very low because we are all volunteers, and they certainly bring heart to the operation,” says Peter who was chairman of the committee for the first six years of the museum’s life and has been back in the cockpit for the past three years. “We have members and donors and we also sell merchandise as well as collecting the entrance fees. That all keeps things ticking along. “We’ve had fundraising events as well, and we also put in for grants. We’ve been fortunate enough to secure some good funding from the federal government,” he says, adding that the community of Narromine has also been gen-

erous with local tradespeople and businesses helping out. That support and the committee’s dedication and acumen has seen the museum go from strength to strength, but Peter and his team are far from done. There are a number of projects in the pipeline, some of which remain a closely guarded secret, but it’s clear this is one community venture that isn’t resting on its laurels. That’s thanks largely to the passion of the man who initially took and now again holds the controls. “No,” he says, looking out over the aerodrome. “I’m not an old airman, but I’ve learned a lot. “I do have fond memories of this airfield and how it figured in our lives as children in Narromine. I can remember, like most people my age, getting very interested in aircraft when, during the war they had the 618 squadron with 35 (de Havilland) Mosquito bombers based here. “I remember we’d be sitting playing quandongs or marbles in the playground and these planes would take off and fly over – we’d all stop and watch them. They were very quick and very noisy. “I remember one Wednesday afternoon when one crashed up near the saleyards, killing two blokes and we were all watching. We were all up there half an hour later and I can still see that crash... there was debris and stuff everywhere. “I’ve never been an aviator, but I have a great love for history and for Narromine.”

The Great Escape’s local link HOW easy it would be to lose a whole day under its roof, given the breadth of fascinating history waiting patiently to be discovered at the Narromine Aviation Museum, but some stories capture the imagination more than others. Such is the bittersweet tale one volunteer tells as she takes us aside during our visit to show us a particular display with the sepia photo of a handsome young man peering out with a smile from behind the glass. Reginald “Rusty” Kierath – uncle to the museum committee’s long-time chairman, Peter Kierath – was a Narromine born and bred 25-year-old when he joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1940. He gained his official RAAF wings a year later around the exact

date that, as fate would have it, his brother Greg was killed at Tobruk while part of an anti-tank company. A bomber pilot, Kierath was shot down over the sea to the north of Tunisia in 1943 and was taken by the Germans to a camp called Stalag Luft III in Poland as a prisoner of war. He was one of the 76 men who escaped the prison camp on a fateful night in late March 1944, the bid for freedom which became known as “the great escape” and on which the famed film of the same name was based. Only three of those 76 escapees made it to freedom. The brave Narromine lad was not among that trio. He was recaptured and executed by the Gestapo. He was 29 years old. In a poignant example of how the

past’s arms can reach out through the years to touch the present, the volunteer tells us about the day not so long ago when she was talking to a group of visitors about the display. She saw the jaw of one man go slack at the mention of the name “Kierath” as he realised he was looking at the framed face of his great uncle’s best mate. According to the visitor, who had heard the story passed down through the years, the pair had together gone first to school and then to war. Only one came home. More than 60 years and a couple of generations later, it was a chance visit to the Narromine Aviation Museum that again memorialised the connection – a tangible reminder that history really does have the ability to bring people together.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Towns flooded

THERE were some massive downpours across the region last week and stormwater systems across the region just couldn’t keep the water from building up. Some locals just outside the city told Dubbo Photo News they received up to 125mm of rain in about an hour, and towns like Trangie and Wellington saw massive downpours causing flash flooding in the streets as the water strove to get away down stormwater pipes and drains.

Narromine firies sound alarms

IT’S great to see our local firies doing so much proactive work amongst their communities, proving it’s not just about the flames at major fire incidents. Fire and Rescue NSW 401 Narromine Station commander Captain Ewen Jones was contacted last month regarding smoke alarms for the hearing impaired. Stephanie Fitch has a hearing impairment and lives alone, and her sister Marcia was concerned she may not hear a normal alarm if there was a fire. Captain Jones found out the special alarms would cost $600 and when he found there was no funding available via the state government, he contacted local service clubs. Narromine Rotary Club, Narromine Lions Club and Narromine Men’s Shed all donated $600 to provide three specialised smoke alarms. The first alarm was installed on March 14 for Stephanie Fitch. “We have consulted Timbrebongie House and the Narromine Family Health Centre to work out if the other residents are in need of a smoke alarm for the hearing impaired,” captain Jones told Dubbo Photo News. Well done Narromine.

new Gollan Rural Fire Brigade Station. The day was also pretty special for the 33 members from Gollan, Geurie, Elong Elong and Comobella Brigades who were presented with the NSW Premiers Bushfire Emergency Citation. Congratulations to all and thank you for your continued service to our communities! Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott was at the opening and he thanked volunteers for their service to the community during the 2019/2020 bush fires. “This excellent new station, built at a cost of almost $225,000, is a modern, standalone, fit-forpurpose building that is greatly welcomed by the volunteers and the communities they serve,” Mr Elliott said. The new station has space for two tankers, as well as a training/ storeroom – up until now the brigade’s tankers have been stored at neighbouring properties and brigade meetings were held in the Gollan Hall. It’s a great improvement for deserving communities.

City Centre evacuation A FIRE alarm sounded inside Dubbo Square at 11.15am last Friday, March 12, which saw shoppers and staff flood out through the exits. Dubbo firies were quickly on the scene and one firefighter told Dubbo Photo News it was a “good evacuation”. “It was an automatic fire alarm, and when a fire alarm goes off people should always follow the directions given for their own safety.”

Pursuit charge POLICE have charged a 31-yearold man with multiple offences following an investigation into a police pursuit in North Bourke. Shortly before 2am on March 9 officers were patrolling in the area when they saw a motorbike allegedly being ridden in excess of the signposted 50km/h speed limit. The motorbike allegedly failed to stop when indicated to do so and accelerated away from police, a pursuit was initiated for a short time until police lost sight of the motorbike.

Following inquiries, police executed a search warrant at a home on Bogan Street on March 10 and seized a motorbike, items of clothing and drug paraphernalia. A crime scene was established and further items including an M4 style Gel Blaster and gel blaster ammunition were seized. The 31-year-old was arrested and taken to Bourke Police Station where he was charged with police pursuit, motorbike rider not wear/secure fit approved helmet, possess unauthorised firearm and possess ammunition without holding licence. He was issued a court attendance notice to appear before Bourke Local Court on March 19. Central North Police District Commander, Superintendent Andrew Hurst, said the community support received during this investigation was appreciated. “We encourage the community to report information about local crime to the Bourke Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” he said. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

“No valid reason” to delay industry support bill

THEY’RE BACK

SAY hello to the team. The Salvos Store Dubbo has reopened in a new location with more ﬂoor space which means more on offer. Their new location is 34 Talbragar Street with proceeds raised from sales at the store going back into the Dubbo com-

BUSINESSES across Dubbo and the region are likely to be caught up in what the nation’s leading industry groups are saying could spell disaster if the Industrial Relations Omnibus Bill currently before the Senate fails to pass this week. According to a joint statement from industry groups, there is “no valid reason” for the delay of the bill which they say will deliver reforms that are urgently needed to boost confidence, investment and job creation to complete the nation’s economic recovery and put the economy back on track for growth. Should the bill fail to pass, the statement says, there will be increased uncertainty and business confidence will be stifled at the worst possible time – just prior to the end of the JobKeeper scheme and as businesses are making decisions on whether to retain staff. According to the industry groups, which are calling for senators’ support for the bill, it contains a series of modest, practical and fair amendments to the Fair Work Act that will boost jobs, investment and confidence. The legislation is the outcome of an extensive Government consultation process over the past nine months involving working parties of industry and union representatives. “This is not an Employers’ Bill but a sensible compromise that employers and their workforces can work with,” the statement said.

YOU’D be forgiven thinking the Dubbo RSL Aquatic and Health Club Mud Run team enter the Maas Titan Macquarie Mud Run to prove their prowess and win. In fact, the team is made up health club staff and members of all ages and ability and they’re all in it for the fun. “It would be great if we won, but all of us mainly do it for the fun and to help each other out, and try to motivate other people as well, who might think they couldn’t do the Mud Run. We all stick together all the way through the Mud Run as well so we’re always there to help one another with the obstacles. We work as a team,” Learn to Swim instructor and club receptionist Laura Powning said. “It’s an absolutely inclusive team. We don’t discriminate on age or ability. We try and get as

many people as we can from each age and ability to join our team,” Ms Powning said. For fellow Learn to Swim instructor Brittany Martin a favourite obstacle is the mud pit. “They’re hard but funny and the amount of teamwork that has to be done to get out of the pits, because they’re so slippery and other teams help you as well. There’s no way I could get out of those pits alone. “I think those mud pits are just a bonding experience,” Ms Martin said. The Maas Titan Macquarie Mud Run is open to all ages and abilities. Registrations are all online this year. If you registered for the 2020 Mud Run postponed because of COVID you are automatically registered for 2021. This year’s event is being run according to COVID guidelines of the day and organisers guarantee

participants will be safe and have the same level of fun. Visit the Maas Titan Macquarie Mud Run website at www.titanmacquariemudrun.com.au or Facebook page for more details.

IN BRIEF

Western health workers to get jab THE Western NSW Local Health District will start providing COVID-19 vaccinations to its staff from March 22. Chief executive Scott McLachlan said the federal government has developed a schedule that will see the most at-risk groups receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. “Phase 1a includes healthcare workers who work in areas such as emergency departments and intensive care units. It also includes aged care residents, including those living in our Multipurpose Service facilities. Phase 1b includes all other healthcare workers,” Mr McLachlan said. “For our healthcare workers, we will have fixed clinics in Orange and Dubbo taking bookings from March 22. “We will also have two mobile clinics in operation from March 22 that will visit all our smaller health facilities over the coming weeks.” The vaccination requires two injections at least twelve weeks apart.

Inquisitive young minds welcome By JOHN RYAN EVEN science couldn’t find a way to make things safe enough to conduct last year’s Science and Engineering Challenge (SEC) in Dubbo after a 19-year-run but that’s set to change this year when the event will celebrate its 20th birthday in the city rather than its 21st. The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is a nationwide outreach program presented by the University of Newcastle in partnership with communities, local Rotary clubs, universities and other sponsors where students experience aspects of science and engineering which they would not usually see in their school environment. The program focuses on inspiring year 10 students to consider a future career in science and engineering by choosing to study the enabling sciences and mathematics in years 11 and 12. Western Plains Science and Engineering Challenge is conducted by combined Rotary clubs of Dubbo and the surrounding dis-

trict, an annual four-day event in which secondary school and primary school students compete in Dubbo. This year the Challenge will run from March 23 to March 26 at Dubbo Showground – it’s been so successful in this region that the National Final was held in Dub-

bo, with students from every state travelling to compete. Lyn Smith is part of the local organising committee and told Dubbo Photo News that Rotary clubs provide financial sponsorship and Rotarians volunteer their time to organise the event and supervise students participating in the

activities. “When the SEC began, Federal government financial support was used to establish it. SEC is now Australia-wide, she said. “Since government funding is no longer available, the Challenge can only run with the generous support of local sponsors.”

Awareness of autism By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON mum Rhiannon Shelley is raising money and awareness by joining the annual Walk for Autism. The nation-wide event encourages participants to walk 10,000 steps a day for eight days from March 21-28, while supporting those on the autism spectrum. “I’ve got family members with autism so I wanted to take it to the next step and assist Autism Spectrum Australia,” she said. Miss Shelley wants to enhance public understanding of autism and how it affects people. “Autism is something they can’t physically see so I think they need to know more about it.” Both Miss Shelley’s brother Byron and cousin Cooper are autistic and she says life can be difficult for someone on the spectrum. “I want people to understand what

someone with autism goes through, I also want to raise money,” she said. While she has never done this before, Miss Shelley is very enthusiastic about reaching out to seek support and gathering people to participate. “I’ve thought about doing it before, but this will be my first time. I want to get a team together and it’s also about raising money. “I would like for more people to jump on board to help raise goals and push awareness and help people with autism,” she said. Miss Shelley has already enlisted the support of friends and family to kickstart the walking challenge and they will join her for a river walk starting from the Nita McGrath Netball Courts on March 21. Autism Awareness Week runs from March 29 to April 4. For more information or to support the cause, visit:  www.facebook.com/groups/ walkforautismaustralia

LOCAL CHAMPION

Bob Walsh: Giving as good as he gets By JEN COWLEY IF there’s something positive happening in the community of Narromine, there’s a better than even chance it involves Bob Walsh. The long-time secretary-manager of the United Services Memorial Club (USMC) and passionate local advocate has his finger on the pulse of the town and the region he’s called home for the best part of half a century, and he’s happy to share the love with anyone who will listen. “We moved to Narromine 45 years ago and I’ve had two terms as deputy mayor, so I’m almost local,” he laughs as he greets us in his beloved club, which is humming with a Thursday evening after-work crowd. Bob celebrated his 40-year anniversary in the role just last week, and his pride in not only the club but the town is palpable. “My wife Robyn and I moved from Woy Woy to raise our children – we came out here on holidays and just fell in love with the place. “At first, I took a job in Dubbo working for Cobbity Farm, which lasted six weeks until everyone in Narromine started telling me I’d bought the milk run. So I bought the milk run!” That gig lasted five years until a freak injury put Bob out of action for six months. “I was refereeing soccer in Dubbo and we were playing on the oval near the riverbank. I went to stop the ball going into the river, slipped and snapped my ankle in five places.” The break put paid to his career as a milko, but that unfortunate twist of an ankle was a perversely happy twist of fate, because it brought Bob ultimately to the helm of the USMC. “I came to work here in March 1981 and never left. Things have changed a lot, not only structurally, but this place has been my life,” he says, and as if on cue, the lights dim and we stand for the 6pm oath.

It’s a striking reminder of how deeply rooted these memorial clubs are in the psyche of rural Australia, and as the Last Post plays, the USMC is touchingly still – even the children have been silenced. We’re in the lounge area of the club, and as we whisper “Lest we Forget” and resume our seats, Bob points around the room.

“Where we’re sitting here, this used to be the old Memorial Hall, and it was such a focus for all the social events in town. It’s seen many a wedding over the years, and hosted all the B&S balls,” he says and we both wonder what the walls would say if they could talk. ••• EVER the local champion, Bob peppers our conversation with

various versions of the ne fact that “Narromine is a lovely town, a proud town” and over the years, he’s demonstrably worked hard to be a part of that. “I stepped up for council because I felt I fer. had something to offer. Even though it was totally different when I got there to how I expected it to be, I think over the course of my time as a councillor, there were some good things we achieved for Narromine.” He offers that, as a town, Narromine must leverage its proximity to Dubbo rather than try to compete. “We’re close enough to Dubbo for people to commute – that road is like Pitt Street every day – but it’s small enough to have that real family feel. It’s a lot cheaper to live here, and apart from that it’s just a great little town.” He says there is no doubt that the USMC is a vital part of the local community, along with the bowling club and the golf club. “Every town needs those clubs. We not only support the returned service (personnel) we also support all the sporting groups in town. We’re a major sponsor of the rugby league, the junior league, netball, the swimming club... the whole range of sports. “The club is also among the major sponsors for the local Skillshare group that does preand after-school work with a lot of the local kids,” he says, nodding in the direction of a group of people having a meeting at a nearby table. “That’s (their committee) there. They do brilliant things, and it makes us proud that we can be a part of helping them.” Bob is keen to dispel the myth that clubs like the USMC simply take the pokey money and run. “That’s not the way it is. We spend our money wisely within the town.” In 2014, the club again stepped up to meet a community need by

tak taking on the local taxi sservice after the previous operator shut the business down. “We bought it as a community service – it was never intended as a profit-making exercise. A lo lot of older people rely on the service and they couldn’t get around without it. We don’t make any money from it, but it’s another way the club helps keep the community connected.” Bob says that although the town has changed, people have come and gone, and the club has morphed physically, the importance of the USMC to the community has never wavered. In fact, he believes it’s probably more important now than it has ever been. “We believe we’re a major part of the success of Narromine as a community. We make our money out of Narromine, so we spend our money in Narromine.” An ardent footy fan – the passionate Manly fan even has Sea Eagles-branded number plates – Bob is the current chairman of Group 11 Rugby League. He was also on the board of Country Rugby League and when it amalgamated with the state organisation, Bob was appointed to the board of NSW Rugby League. He is acutely aware of the vital role sport plays in small towns, in terms of engaging the community and the positive impact on mental health but also with helping youth. “Not all kids are academically inclined, and sport can help keep them in school longer,” he says, adding that the club offers a number of scholarships to students going from Year 6 to high school to support students throughout their secondary education. “We’re putting our money where our mouth is when it comes to supporting the town. This community supports us, we support it.”

Drag safari By JOHN RYAN PLENTY of rubber met the bitumen as some of Sydney’s keenest drag racers tried their luck at Bodangora’s runway dragstrip last week. Members from the Drag-ens Hotrod Club made the trek up from Sydney after a day of drag racing down there. They raced at Bodangora, spending the night before heading off to another day of racing at Gunnedah. Organiser Andrew McClelland said it was a fantastic start to their inland safari. “We’re here at Bodangora airstrip, drag racing here, there were 15 entrants and about 20 other hot-

rods here as spectators as part of the drag safari,” Mr McLelland told Dubbo Photo News. “We’ve had a whole lot of fun and we’re really happy to be here in Wellington and having the Dubbo City Car Club taking care of us. “I hope it’s going to be an annual event; it’s been absolutely excellent, the weather Gods were good to us so we’re really happy with that, the facility here’s absolutely awesome, it’s got a great country feel, a lot of fun and I’d recommend coming out here to anyone who’s interested in drag racing.” Pictured: All the action on the day, the Sydney drag racers were impressed with the Bodangora facility.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

News room’s demise is disappointing: MP The Editor, As someone who spent a number of years involved in regional media, I was saddened to hear of the demise of another news outlet in our region. Nine News Central West employs a small but committed group in Orange who endeavour to tell the stories that need to be told. The announcement on Tuesday that from July 1 there will no longer be a news service provided by Channel Nine in our region is disappointing, especially in the wake of cuts to a number of other media outlets across all platforms in recent times. Our community deserves a wide range of voices telling its stories, and that means a mix of television, print, online and radio, however this decision will leave just one network, Prime7, hosting dedicated news bulletins in the central west. Thankfully Prime7 sees fit to have a reporter based in Dubbo to tell the stories of people in our part of the region. While geography impacted the footprint Nine has had in Dubbo and other parts of my electorate, I know everyone in their newsroom has tried as hard as possible to ensure coverage of major events and stories that matter to our people. To Naomi Avery, Claudia Vrdoljak, Murray McCloskey and Bre McCullagh, I send my heartfelt best wishes as they now face the uncertainty of what comes next while maintaining a professionalism through the next three months. They deserve better, and our communities deserve better as well. Regional journalism matters. Dugald Saunders, Member for the Dubbo electorate

Cancer info available in many languages The Editor, Like many Australians, this week Cancer Council is celebrating the vibrant multiculturalism that makes our country such a great place to live. During Harmony Week and ahead of Harmony Day on March 21, I’d like to let the community know that we are here for everyone affected by cancer, no matter their cultural or linguistic background. Thanks to the community’s wonderful support, we have a range of information and support services available to everyone. These include our 13 11 20 Information and Support line, which is a free and confidential service. If you have been affected by cancer, you can call 13 11 20 to speak to a health care professional about anything to do with cancer, as well as access practical and emotional support. It is estimated that one in five Australians speak a language other than English at home. Our cancer information resources are a source of reliable, trusted cancer information to help guide people through a cancer diagnosis and beyond. These resources have been translated into Arabic, Chinese, Mandarin, Greek, Italian, Macedonian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Hindi and Tagalog, so that people affected by cancer in our communities can access information in their own language. No one should ever have to go through cancer alone. If you are affected by cancer, I encourage you to call us on 13 11 20 – we’re here to help. Annie Miller, Director, Cancer Information and Support Services

Political power plays, in America and at home Greg Smart ❚ OPINION I HAVE written previously about the fragile ego and psychopathy of Donald Trump, and don’t want to dwell on his personal failings again. However, he now has blood on his hands following his incitement of the deadly Capitol Building insurgency in January this year. By any reasonable judgement he should have faced ramifications and punishment for this treasonous behaviour. Bear in mind this was not a trivial matter, a personal failing or sexual impropriety; it was inciting a deadly assault on the U.S. Capital Building because Trump believed the “rigged” election tarnished his image. I believe the rioters marched on the Capital Building with the full intent of killing Vice President Pence, Speaker Pelosi, and any foe labelled by Trump as an enemy of the people. Only 10 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted with the Democrats for sending the impeachment to the Senate, and received death threats and

threats of dis-endorsement for voting with their conscience based on evidence and morality. In the Senate, only five Republicans voted for impeachment, and bore the wrath of Republican supporters. Worst of all was the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who first voted for acquittal, then after the Senate voted, declared Trump “practically and morally responsible” for the insurrection in comments to the media. Days later McConnell told Fox News he would “absolutely” support Donald Trump if the former president was the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. See how Trump has taken the Republican Party hostage? This hostage taking was on full display late last month at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida. The annual Republican gathering descended into an echo of a Trump rally – baseless allegations of voter fraud, and conspiracy theories about vote tampering, fake news and judicial malpractice. All underwritten by white fragility, grievance, idol worship, and laughable claims to be the party of the downtrodden blue-collar worker. So, in the space of less than five years, the Republicans have gone

from a surprise presidential victory to a schism between the traditional “Reagan-ites” and the Trump cultists. Trump may have been defeated, but Trumpism is on the march. Meanwhile, the United States just marked 500,000 deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic – and the Trump Republicans continue to denounce mask wearing and social distancing as infringements on their freedom. The Trump psychopathy seems as contagious as COVID-19.

It is not hard to treat women as equal “We want to see women rise. But we don’t want to see women rise only on the basis of others doing worse. “We want everybody to do better, and we want to see the rise of women in this country be accelerated to ensure that their overall place is maintained.” – Prime Minister Scott Morrison, speaking in 2019 at an International Women’s Day event. You could be excused for thinking Scott Morrison has a problem with displaying empathy towards women, and male privilege is difficult ground for him. The “others” he referred to here

are obviously men. Referring to the accelerated rise of women to maintain their “place” assumes that women have a “place”. Apparently that place is not Canberra, given the multiple revelations and accusations of sexual assaults, sexual harassment and a bullying culture recently reported. But the bullying culture has been around since women have been in parliament. The notion that a woman can be an effective politician has threatened the Canberra Boys’ Club for decades, and is more pervasive on the conservative side of politics. This is why Julie Bishop was never supported into the Liberal Party Leadership, Julia Banks left politics and Julia Gillard was catcalled across the Chamber. Who could forget the Leader of House Christopher Pine thinking it was hilarious to yell “See You Next Tuesday” at the Labor Opposition

benches during question time a few years ago? Or past PM Tony Abbott promoting his plan for increased childcare subsidies to middle class households as encouragement to “women of pedigree” to stay at home to have more children? Notice how Scott Morrison and his ministers referred to alleged rape victim Brittany Higgins as “Brittany” in an attempt to infantilise her with fake warmth and caring? That Morrison needed the moral guidance of his wife to muster acknowledgment of the seriousness of the rape allegation, then announce his moral deficiency to the press, points to a serious inability to accept and treat women as equals let alone with basic dignity. And yes, the inevitable enquiries into the culture in Parliament will be called for and promises of change will be made. It is not hard to treat women as equal, and it does not come at the expense of men. In fact, the empowerment of women is a proven method of improving the lot of everyone in society. Fragile male egos must get out of the way for this to happen.

` The notion that a woman can be an effective politician has threatened the Canberra Boys’ Club for decades... a z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

IN FOCUS THE THUMBS

Thumbs Up to the two men from the Dubbo Mens’ Shed in Talbragar Street for delivering a bed, very much appreciated, a job well done.

Thumbs Up to Karen at Dubbo RSL Aqua class for making it so much fun, the highlight of my week is Wednesday. Thanks, you are awesome.

Thumbs Down to Woolworths for putting proﬁts before customers and society – it was very busy at Riverdale last week and people were lined up waiting at the express lane while staff prioritised people buying cigarettes from the external front counter. The company has set it up so people buying smokes don’t even have to go into the store like everyone else. It really is a disgrace, especially if you’ve been waiting in line for a long time and a smoker turns up to get the royal treatment.

Thumbs Up to Neil Sturrock at Autobarn for his kind help and advice also to his staff for their top service.

& Thumbs Up to president of the local arthritis group Heather Exelby for the lovely write-up she did of Jack Munro in the monthly arthritis newsletter.

Thumbs Up to the young man at Wellington Return and Earn. He is going above and beyond with helping the public to navigate the current voucher problems.

Thumbs Up to the Salvos Store in Talbragar Street, Dubbo. Congratulations to the Salvos on the setting up the store in the new location. The furniture items, the bric-a-brac and the clothing was of good quality and realistic prices. Also a good range of books, toys, and very helpful volunteers.

Thumbs Up to my wonderful across the road neighbour, who on hearing me collide with my curbside letterbox, when the box was knocked off its stand, came quietly over and restored it completely with drill and new screws while I was absent. Thank you so much Stan, you saved me much trouble.

Thumbs Up to Jack at transport service in Macquarie Street for being so helpful and explaining things very clearly.

Thumbs Up to Dubbo Regional Council, the pothole installation program is going great.

Trangie CWA in focus THE recent meeting of Trangie branch of the Country Women’s Association provided a forum for an expose on the services available through NALAG, (National Association for Loss and Grief). Deb Todkill, Executive officer for the organisation, spoke of the assistance provided by dedicated counsellors in times of hardship, grief and loss. Grief is not exclusively related to death; it can stem from any number of causes including the loss of a job, breakdown of a relationship, loss of a pet, change of habitat, or financial hardship, and its onset is not always recognisable. Alongside Deb, author, Jen Cowley presented her recently published book, “That’s the Spirit”, a beautifully orchestrated collage of (some) local identities who very ef-

fectively, epitomise the Australian Spirit of “have a go, mate”. NALAG generously donated a number of copies of her book to Trangie CWA and it is also available for purchase from Trangie Newsagency, with all proceeds going to NALAG. The meeting was also an opportunity for members to celebrate the 90th birth-

day of friend and long-time member, Jenny Wilson with a beautifully decorated cake, flowers and the obligatory “Happy Birthday”. Trangie CWA meets on the second Thursday of every month. The next meeting will feature Tullamore based lamb producer Fiona Aveyard as guest speaker and new members always welcome.

LIVE•VISIT•EXPLORE NRMA POPS UP IN NARROMINE

One of the impacts of the compulsory lockdown measures in 2020 due to COVID-19 was that Australians spent a fortune in a bid to make homelife more exciting, with new electronics, office equipment and greenery. However, with new toys comes greater responsibility, especially when it comes to insurance. To help protect these new possessions, NRMA Insurance is looking to make things simpler for

the people of Narromine by hosting a popup kiosk right in the heart of town, which customers can use as a one-stop shop for all things insurance. Until 29 April, NRMA Insurance consultants will be available at the kiosk, located at 73 Dandaloo Street, between Tuesday-Thursday from 10am3pm to provide assistance around new and existing policies and to help set up new cover for those that need it.

e u q i t u o b d o o Wiradjuri artist wins g l e A fe Candles are the best-selling product at Soy Scents Home and Gift and why wouldn’t they be when local girl and shop owner Casey Forrester has been carefully curating hand poured candles, melts and bamboo reed diffusers for the past 10 years. When you walk into her shop, her warm and friendly smile makes you feel

welcome and the aroma makes you want to stay and look at the beautiful women’s fashion, homeware and giftware she has available. It all started as a hobby and after being encouraged by her husband to pursue her talent, Soy Scents Home and Gift has developed into a buzzing full-time boutique in the heart of Narromine.

University art competition By BROOKE JACOBSON AND LYDIA PEDRANA A Narromine-born Wiradjuri WOMAN has won the University of Sydney’s Indigenous Art Prize. Artist and mother, Cara Shields, who now lives near Brisbane, has been awarded $2,500 to create a suite of three unique designs which will be used in promotional material and signage for the University’s new School of Rural Health in Dubbo. The designs will incorporate key themes including medicine, healing, health, wellbeing, teaching, learning and communities. After being told about the competition by her cousin who is currently studying medicine at the University of Sydney, Ms Shields said it was her eight-month-old son who inspired her to enter. “I remember, it was the last day for me to apply, my baby was not sleeping, I was exhausted, but some-

thing about it called to me and I basically applied on my phone, with my baby napping in my arms,” she recalled. Mrs Shields submitted a piece which she described as a contemporary ochre and acrylic landscape which represent the places she grew up – Wellington, Dubbo and Narromine. “This artwork took me a few months, I actually started it when I was pregnant,” she said. “When I started, the pandemic was in full swing, I was pregnant, an essential worker (at Woolworths), I was missing home – I was pretty emotional.” “My uncle, Peter Peckham, sent me the ochre for the painting from Dubbo and I finished it with Clark in my arms. “And my husband Adam

has been so supportive, I couldn’t have done it without him.” The piece is centred around trees, particularly the scar trees the Dubbo region is famous for. “Trees are the very air that we breathe and there are some beautiful grand old trees out at Dubbo, they’ve always been a big part of my life – they’re everything,” Mrs Shields explained. “The boundary trees were there to mark the boundaries of tribal lands, women gave birth under trees – I imagine that would have been so serene and peaceful, you’d be able to really connect.” “And trees have been used for artistic purposes, there’s a canoe tree out there, where a canoe is carved into the tree and the patterns on the regrowth is just beautiful, really beautiful swirling

grooves, it’s amazing what trees can do.” Admitting she was shocked to be picked as the winner, Mrs Shields is proud that her work will be used to promote a university that is offering greater opportunities for regional students. “My cousin has had to go and live in Sydney to study

medicine and it’s such a big, cosmopolitan city so to have this campus in Dubbo is going to mean so much for kids in the country,” she said. “And for Indigenous kids, it’s great to be able to study at home, be part of the community and connect with the community about health and to be role models as

well.” “To show that any kid with a dream can do it.” “To have my artwork on the medical campus, it’s such an honour, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to take Clark there and show him, this is what Mum did and you were a part of that journey.”

Where the cool cat’s shop Two friends came together over a drink and dreamt of the idea of opening a pop-up shop selling antique and vintage treasures. Rosie and Toots, named after their cats, opened in November 2019 and is now a shop full of beautiful artwork and unique pieces. Kerry Leeds is now the owner and is there to help you on Wednesday to Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturdays 10am to 2pm. Make sure you stop in and browse the collection of eclectic merchandise, large range of local and Australian art, Bric A Brac and furniture.

Narromine business owner Bob McKinnon likes his boneless ham so when it recently became unavailable to buy in town, he took matters into his own hands and opened a deli. 2 Eleven Delicatessen is owned and run by Bob with daughter Cherie Mulloy and you’d better believe they’ve got ham: Wilga boneless leg ham freshly sliced to your liking, soccer ball, honey leg, square sandwich, and more. “People can expect quality and as much Australian owned- and made- as possible. We bang on about our ham and bacon as all Australian. People buy bacon these days and they think it’s Australian, it’ll be 10 per cent Australian, which

is probably just the packaging,” Cherie said. Other products on 2 Eleven Delicatessen shelves includes award winning cheeses from Orange, Buzzy Beez raw honey, Chilli cheese cabanossi, diced Fetta, Black kalamata olives, Midnight Dawn poppy seed dressing and, honey and beer mustard, Henry Swiss Style Fetta Frieda Washed Rind Camembert and Double Cream Brie.

Sainsbury’s welcomes Shane back as service manager ‘NEW’ Sainsbury Automotive service manager Shane Fee is no stranger to Sainsbury’s service department, having previously worked for the business for seven years. After a short hiatus however, Shane is back to lead the service team and says one of the best aspects of his role is his colleagues. “It’s the people and the staff around you. If you didn’t enjoy your staff and you didn’t enjoy the customers, you wouldn’t be in it. There are nine franchises here, so we’ve got a lot of people involved,” he said. The automotive world is ever pushing boundaries in technology and efficiencies, so for the technicians and service staff working with Shane, it’s important they’re all adaptable to change. “I’ve seen miles of change over the years. Once upon a time when you dropped the car off for a service, you had to walk home. Now you drop your car off for a service, we’ve got a courtesy bus or the choice of a loan car. “Many years ago, there weren’t as many in-vehicle electronics either. They’re the two biggest changes; the electronics and the way we conduct ourselves as a service department.” Expectations on mechanics have also changed.

“Once upon a time mechanics were called mechanics, now they’re called technicians more than anything, because they’ve got to be technical about what they’re doing. A lot of the time they’re looking at a diagnostic computer to see what’s going on with the car and diagnosing problems from there.

“The customer might think it can be done in five minutes just by looking at the computer, but it’s not the computer fixing the problem, it just guides technicians to what the problem is. The technicians are still the ones that fix it, at the end of the day,” he said. Shane’s been in the automotive

industry for 26 years, since 1995, when he started out working in spare parts. “From there I moved into sales and then service. I’ve worked with a lot of manufacturers. I’ve done trucks, ag and cars.” Shane originally moved to the region from Sydney in 1982, set-

WORDS OF WISDOM Joy Kirkby Interview and photo by SOPHIA ROUSE What did you get up to growing up? I always loved horses but my family couldn’t afford one so I would get on any damn thing. When we lived in West Dubbo I got on this thing and it was an absolute mongrel of a horse and if I got it out of a trot it would dump me. It was terrible! We did all the usual things a country kid would do. Buy cigarettes and go down to the creek. I went to swimming club; I wasn’t very athletic. I used to fall over all the time, so I was better in the water. I was naughty... and it was my parents’ fault because I was the only child for nearly four years, and I was terribly spoilt! When my sister came along, I thought “what’s this?” Anyway, she turned out to be a very nice person. My first memories were of living out of Dubbo and the house was up high on the high side of the river and twelve foot from the back fence and it just dropped straight into the Macquarie. When the floods were on in 1950 and 1951, it was so exciting, that rush of a flood! There were trees and bits of island and rabbits running around and dead cows (floating down the river). I went away for nursing and I met Robert. He was a student at St Vincent, and I trained at St George. Robert’s parents lived at Castle Hill so to see me was an hour drive home, he must have been pretty keen. Poor darling use to try and burn holes in his hands to keep himself awake! What was it like being a wife of a country doctor? It was challenging but it was the way

it was. Robert wanted to go to a place where he would make a difference and he did. He was a rounded GP that did anaesthetics, caesareans, delivered babies, did minor fractures, did minor surgery and worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week and that was how it was for the ﬁrst 21 years. Then we got a partner so that made life a lot simpler. I busied myself being the mother of four kids and when they got old enough for me to see daylight, I took up pottery and it was fantastic. It made the world go around me instead of me trying to chase the world. One of the best things I ever did was we needed more education for kids with diabetes in the west. I put on my thinking cap and I spent a whole afternoon just ringing people. I rang children’s hospitals and told them that we needed a diabetic dietician to come up and they said no, what you need is a team, which was four people. Two doctors, a dietician and a social worker. So, I rang up all the diabetic companies and they told me they had allocated all their funds for the year. I thought there’s got to be a way! Anyway, I got onto a thing called Aerial Medical services and I said we needed a kid’s diabetic unit in Dubbo. 45 minutes later and he called me back and said he had a plan for four people. Then I had to start ﬁnding out where all these kids were. So, I wrote to as many doctors within a 100-mile radius of Dubbo. I did the initial work and sorted a room and then the Dubbo Base took it on. I’m very proud of having done that because it has helped a lot of kids and saved them having to go to Sydney. If you were Prime Minister for a day would you do or change? One thing I would do is supply

schools with more remedial reading teachers. That would be my ﬁrst priority because there will never be enough. There are so many kids hat have dyslexia and other associated learning disabilities. I would also make everybody have a rainwater tank and I would bring in showering with a bucket and using the bucket to ﬂush the toilet. It’s a simple thing but think of the water you would save! What is your most embarrassing

moment? Look, I probably have them on a daily basis. Sometimes I embarrass my children. I didn’t always dress up to go down the street, I would just wear what I had around the house and I was supposed to go to school for something and my daughter said, “you will wear a nice dress won’t you?”. Would you change anything about your life? No, probably not because if you

change one thing it’s going to have a ﬂow on effect. Life is full of ups and downs and the downs make you a stronger person. Robert and I have had a good relationship and we still do. Life has been pretty good to me, but we’ve had our trials. My words of wisdom are do unto others as you would have them do unto you and laugh a lot, you’ve got to have a sense of humour because without laughter, you’re dead.

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.

NORM NEWMAN SHIELD

Norm Newman fondly remembered By GEOFF MANN A GOOD crowd of spectators including family and friends of the late Norm Newman sat glued on Saturday afternoon as the new-fangled Jets and Trangie Magpies played in great spirit for a trophy in the name of the remarkably popular former player. League Tag girls kicked off the day with the more experienced locals proving too strong for their western visitor winning by 50-5. Narromine stalwart Sally Everett was impressed with the enthusiasm. “This game will be a great confidence builder for the girls going into the season. If they keep training and playing the way they did, these Jets will be a force to be reckoned with while the Magpies have plenty of time to build their numbers and skills.” Sally says the main game was quite an emotional experience. “The Norm Newman Shield was played with heart and passion and the Jets retained the

trophy. We recorded some of the responses from the blokes involved and uploaded them to JETSTV on our Facebook page. It was remarkable how these young players respected the work that Norm and so many others put into the club over the years.” Norm played in a time when Narromine was the most feared in Group XI. The club won four premierships in the ‘50s under Leo Nosworthy on their way to racking up the most titles in

the competition up until the early 90s. Pauline Newman was on hand to present the trophy to Narromine reserve grade captain coach Alex Sambrook with the final 36-6. One of the try scorers on the day was Norm’s great nephew, Washie Itoya. “Premierships have been light-on since the halcyon days, but our club continues to work against the odds and there is tremendous spirit around the

town. We’re particularly looking forward to the improvements to ‘the visitors’ graveyard’ at Cale Oval.” In fact, the playing surface attracted plenty of complimentary remarks from the Macarthur Wests Tigers when they visited for Andrew Johns (16s) and Laurie Daley (18s) matches recently.

By GEOFF MANN THE Narromine local competition may have been in remission in recent seasons but that has not diminished the pride in representing their town in western competitions.

That determination to keep the town’s more than 160 tradition alive has netted two of the Western Zone’s most prestigious trophies. Our photos show the Narromine players with the Macquarie Valley Brewery Shield

Dubbo Rhinos blow out the cobwebs By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL AFTER a long off-season Dubbo Rhinos kick off the 2021 season against Griffith Blacks. The match was played at the Barden Park Athletics Complex on a very hot Saturday afternoon. New coach Doug Sandry says it was a great hit out for his team which is blending long-serving players with some exciting newcomers. “Both sides got the opportunity to blow out the cobwebs! I’m a very happy coach. The entire squad put in an effort in the less-than-ideal temperature.” Griffith might have scored more points, but Doug says there were plenty of positives to come out of the match for the Rhinos. The next trial is this weekend, March 20, against Nabiac Bulls and a final hit-out will be against Gular who are using the match as their belated 40th season launch.

DUBBO plays host to teams from all over NSW this weekend for an innovative hockey tournament designed to keep players in the sport longer. Australian Masters rep Tracey Hardie-Jones is one of the local organisers. “We’ve had a great response with everybody wanting to lend their support to the country areas. Players are coming from the Far North coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra, Lithgow, Orange, Parkes and the South Coast. “There are a number of National and State representatives who will bring a high standard of hockey to our field at Pioneer Oval,” Tracey said with enthusiasm. The carnival will kick off at 5.30 pm on Friday afternoon and run through to 2pm Sunday, with games finishing at 9.30pm on both Friday and Saturday nights. “With such great response to this carnival it can only grow into the future. If we could secure some funding for our second turf, the carnival will generate income into Dubbo with accommodation, dining and lots of spending at our tourism spots.”

CYCLING

Sidney’s ready to roll for the junior titles By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

THE smile on his face says it all. Nineyear-old Sidney Pickering is ready to ride in the 2021 NSW Junior State Titles on March 27 – his first big comp. “He started riding in October last year and has completely fallen in love with it,” dad, Harry Pickering told Dubbo Photo News. However, he has always ridden a bike and now rides to school when he can.” Cycling NSW Junior Track Championships are a signature event hosted by the Dubbo Cycle Club every year, for the past 20 years, and supported by Dubbo Regional Council. “The Dubbo Regional Cycling Facility is fantastic. It’s great to see it being used to attract big events like this. It’s also open to the public every day so it’s a great place to ride safely without having to worry about cars etc,” Mr Pickering said. “The championships will be a new experience for both of us which in itself is something to look forward to. Also meeting and competing with other kids his own age is something he’s keen to do.” Sidney will be riding against entrants from around the state, including young riders from Orange, Tam-

worth, Mudgee and Sydney. “You don’t need to be a champion to join in,” Dubbo Cycle Club president Ben O’Brien explained, “it’s a great experience for young riders.” The Titles pits riders in the U9 to U13 age categories in sprint, time trial and scratch race championships. Sidney has been riding and racing weekly with Dubbo Cycle Club on Tuesday nights and training on Thursday nights with his mates. “The Dubbo Cycle Club also supports newcomers really well. It has track bikes you can loan so you get a feel for the sport without needing to spend money, etc to get yourself setup. Also, the experienced riders in the club are always willing to help and show you how to do this which is fantastic,” Mr Pickering said. Harry has also decided to give riding a go. “I decided to give it a go after Sid took it up. I’ve been riding since the start of January with the Dubbo Social Cycling Group which meets in the morning for group rides. I also started to train with the Dubbo Cycle Club on the track as well and raced the summer road (Criterion) series that the club ran on Sunday mornings.” For the Pickering family the cycling

world is a about getting outdoors to have a fun, social time. “The club caters for all ability levels so we can see both of us developing more into the sport into the future. Also, my wife is starting to take an interest and it’s something the whole family can do. There are plenty of families down there on race days with mum, dad and the kids all competing at different levels,” Mr Pickering said. “The club is very friendly, so it’s been a good way to meet some new people around town and also allow me to satisfy my competitive edge (which I haven’t been doing for a long time after giving away football due to my knee!).” Spectators are welcome to watch the NSW Junior State Titles at the Dubbo Regional Cycle Facility on Saturday, March 27. See the ad in this edition for more details. Nine-year-old Sidney Pickering will be competing in the NSW Junior State Titles for the ﬁrst time on March 27 at the Dubbo Regional Cycling Facility.

playing Tag about a month ago so had the pleasure of watching our players in action. The final looked like it was going to be a disaster when we trailed 4-1 but then Shell clicked into gear and we raced in four unanswered touchdowns for a brilliant 5-4 win. Others from Dubbo Touch to fly the flag included Maddi Crowe (Opens), Serena Prout, Krystal Laughton and Sheryn Baird (W30s), Andrew Tomlins (M40) and Hemi McGarvey (M50).
