SAVE IT FROM THE SCRAP HEAP By JOHN RYAN Norm Organ is one of Dubbo’s most creative artists – he looks at things other people regard as scrap metal and imagines them as no one has ever seen them before. His Sculptures on Fletcher shopfront really should be called Creativity in Steel. Norm is this week’s cover for our Dubbo Photo News Innovation and Creativity edition because he collects junk that other people don’t want and uses his time to turn that junk into objects of great value.

Vale Leo Nosworthy

Council votes for investigation

ONE of Western NSW’s football greats has hung up his boots. Leo Nosworthy played for Balmain in the late 1940s and 1950s, before becoming a very successful captain-coach at Dubbo and Narromine. West Tigers acknowledged Mr Nosworthy’s passing this week, noting that he returned to the Tigers as a coach in the 1960s, doing his apprenticeship coaching third grade before coaching Balmain’s reserve-grade side to the Premiership in 1967. In 1969, he was appointed Coach of the first-grade side in place of the retired Keith Barnes and immediately took Balmain to Premiership success, defeating South Sydney 11-2 in what would be the Tigers’ final Grand Final win. “Wests Tigers would like to extend its condolences to Leo’s family and the thoughts of all at the club are with his loved ones at this time,” the club’s statement said.

By NATALIE LEWIS DUBBO Regional Council has voted to open up its internal issues to an independent investigation following an extraordinary meeting on Monday afternoon. Chaired by acting Mayor Stephen Lawrence, the meeting was held to table a mayoral minute outlining Council’s intolerance of bullying, harassment, threats and intimidation, and abuse of power within the organisation and in the community, along with a call for the Mayor, Cr Ben Shields to resign. The majority of councillors voted in favour of the recommendation, with Crs Greg Mohr and David Grant opposing the decision. Cr Dayne Gumley was not at the meeting and was granted a leave of absence. Cr Grant put forward an amendment of the recommendation, stating that each item should be dealt with individually. He offered support of an independent investigation into misconduct but felt that compassion should be shown in light of the Mayor’s current condition as a patient of Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. He was first rushed to Dubbo Base Hospital from his home on Wednesday, March 31, just hours after a group of seven councillors called for him to resign. “People might call me soft or weak but there is a person lying in hospital who is quite unwell, the Mayor,” he said. Cr Mohr described the recom-

mendation in its entirety as “ethically, morally and procedurally wrong”. “This whole organisation is now being questioned and I find that terrible,” he said. “The organisation has taken a massive hit because of some people that can’t follow guidelines.” Cr Mohr went on to describe the situation as a ‘witch hunt’ taking place in a ‘Kangaroo Court’. “I’m appalled and disgusted – it’s unfair that three and a half years of hard work has now been unravelled.” Cr Kevin Parker said the matter needed to be dealt with swiftly,

describing the circulation of unsavoury stories as damaging to Council’s reputation. “As a city and as a Council, we need to be proactive. We cannot prolong this.” The meeting took place with a capacity public gallery who were very vocal in their response to the proceedings. When given the opportunity to address the gathering, Cr Shields’ father Les said he would support the election of ‘six new councillors by September’. Council will meet again on Monday, April 19, for an Ordinary meeting where a confi-

dential report will examine all complaints, allegations and suggestions of misconduct on behalf of any councillor that have not already been the subject of a Code of Conduct process or have been withdrawn or dismissed without action. A further report will be tabled at the Ordinary meeting on May 3 regarding Council’s bullying and harassment policies and to discuss which aspects of the Mayor’s role can be legally removed if he hasn’t left office by that time. Cr Shields has been a civic representative of Dubbo for the past 22 years.

Jab dramas: Coulton defends rollout By JOHN RYAN

Hospital carpark shovel ready By JOHN RYAN THE first sod has been turned on a long-awaited project for Dubbo. One of the main gripes from western region residents has been the difficulty of finding car parks at Dubbo Hospital, but now state member Dugald Saunders says that should change for the better. Just weeks after Hansen Yuncken was announced as the company to complete the $30 million hospital carpark project, the first sod has been turned. More than 350 parks will be added to the hospital precinct, this project a major commitment from Mr Saunders prior to the 2019 NSW state election. “I’m so proud to see things get moving here, because it was something identified as a major issue during the election campaign, and something I pledged to get done,” Mr Saunders said. “This project will increase parking capacity on the hospital campus to support not only the expansion and upgrade of the hospital itself, but also the Western Cancer Centre that is close

to being completed.” Once work is completed on that site, the next step is at the western side of the hospital where a new multi-storey facility will accommodate further parking for staff, patients and

visitors. The project will also include infrastructure upgrades such as roadways, footpaths, hospital access, lighting and security, and construction is expected to take 12 months.

PARKES MP and federal regional health minister Mark Coulton has responded to criticisms about the nationwide vaccination rollout and told Dubbo Photo News that the Commonwealth’s goal is to ensure every Australian receives a vaccination as early as possible. Mr Coulton said claims such as that put by the McKell Institute which said delays in the program will increase the chance of lockdowns and the economic costs that come with them. “It’s vital we are clear-sighted about the cost and impact of a government’s action or inaction,” McKell Institute executive director Michael Buckland said. “Just as it was correct for the government to measure the economic impact of state lockdowns, so too should the government embrace the publication of clear information about the economic impact of its vaccination roll-out program. “Australia’s vaccination program has failed to meet its targets and it’s incomprehensible that we will catch up. Our leaders need to accept the additional risks of delay and act.” Mr Buckland said in a new report, ‘Counting the cost of Australia’s delayed vaccine roll-out’, that even if Australia instantly picks up its vaccination rollout rate to that of the UK – currently the second-best performer in the world – it would delay herd immunity by 116 days from the Morrison Government’s original projection. That would cost the economy some $1.368 billion. By comparison, the report claimed if Australia were to instantly increase the pace of vaccination to mimic the rate of Germany, the delay would be 353 days with a projected economic cost of $4.164 billion. Mr Coulton told Dubbo Photo News that safety is the federal government’s number one priority. “Work is underway to outline how the vaccine rollout will be adjusted to take into account the advice of medical experts (through the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation), working with the states and territories,” Mr Coulton said. “The AstraZeneca vaccine will continue to have an important ongoing role in the vaccine rollout for people aged over 50.”

Timber logjam debate simmers By JOHN RYAN DEBATE surrounding potential logging in western forests such as the Goonoo and Pilliga could heat up with the announcement of a Parliamentary public inquiry into the NSW forestry and timber industry by the Legislative Council’s Industry Committee. NSW Labor Shadow Minister for Natural Resources Paul Scully said he’s been pushing for the inquiry, the first into the industry in 20 years. “This is an opportunity for the forestry and timber industry as well as timber-dependent communities to have a voice about the long-term future of their industry and their jobs,” Mr Scully said. “These hardworking communities, which produce the timber to build houses across NSW need direction, help and hope after a horror 12 months of bushfires and now floods. “Already there are cases of timber suppliers not having enough supply for house frames, decking and hardwood products – that’s increasing delays and the cost of building houses in NSW,” he said. Shooters, Fishers, Farmers MLC Mark Banasiak said the inquiry had been established to take a deep dive into the timber industry, with a view to analyse and evaluate whether the government’s policy settings are right to ensure its future. “We have already heard concerns from those in the industry, not just surrounding the impact of the bushfires, but also around wood supply agreements and the impact of the coalition infighting over the koala SEPP,” Mr Banasiak told Dubbo Photo News. “Many questions during the budget estimates process have

gone unanswered or answered insufficiently by this government, this inquiry will allow us to interrogate further. “The timber industry stretches right across NSW and is a key direct employer both in the South, Central West, Mid North Coast as well as secondary industries benefiting like the building and construction industry.” Shadow minister Scully said the Parliamentary inquiry was necessary because the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government has run out of ideas to help support forestry and timber workers and their communities. “This 10-year-old Government is mired in scandal, sleaze and corruption, which is one of the reasons a Parliamentary inquiry into the future of the forestry and

timber industry in NSW is so important,” he said. He believes the Parliamentary inquiry will help to better understand the projections for softwood and hardwood timber supply and demand, provide a transparent reporting of the timber supply, and also identify the opportunities for the timber and forestry products industry and timber-dependent communities. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders told Dubbo Photo News that the NSW Forestry Corporation has been working hard to carry out detailed assessments of all the areas impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires and the long-term implications for timber supply. “I would suggest that some sensible discussions need to be had about the possibility of the industry returning to our region, noting that it does create jobs but also be-

ing mindful of the environmental impacts,” Mr Saunders said. “The NSW Government fully appreciates the seriousness of the problems a protracted shortage of construction timbers could cause, not just for regional towns but for all communities across NSW. However, there is no easy solution as no-one can make trees grow more quickly than they will. “Current shortages in softwood timber are not due to the bushfire impact, they relate to increased demand linked to housing construction, and fewer imports as a result of a range of factors including the value of the dollar against the strong US market.” Submissions to the Parliamentary inquiry from individuals, industry stakeholders, and local government are encouraged and close with the Committee Secretariat on Friday, May 28.

Flat out for Goolma two-mile upgrade MOTORISTS travelling from Gulgong to Wellington are now in for a much safer journey thanks to a $1.2 million upgrade to widen the road at Goolma’s Two Mile Flat. According to Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, the upgrade involved shoulder widening, reshaping the road, vegetation removal, drainage work, creation of a clear zone and the installation of safety barriers. “Wider shoulders provide a

TRIVIA TEST

spot for motorists to pull off the road for unforeseen stoppages, such as breakdowns, while safety barriers help reduce the severity of run-off-road crashes,” Mr Saunders said. “Safety improvements like these are helping us build a stronger and safer regional NSW, with more than 2000 motorists – including local, visiting and freight traffic – using this route daily.” The state government part-

nered with Mid-Western Regional Council for the project, which Mr Saunders says will help “make a real difference to this community” adding that the work generated jobs for 42 people over the course of the past four months, which in turn was a much-needed boost for the local economy. He said Transport for NSW wished to thank motorists for their patience while the work was carried out.

Mice on the move, growers urged to monitor WITH the scourge of the mice plague continuing across the west, grain growers and agronomists are being urged to report the activity of the rampant rodents using the MouseAlert facility. The website and app are part of the latest national mouse monitoring project from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and the CSIRO. The data collected helps keep authorities informed about mouse populations and movements, which in turn helps with the development of control measures. The GRDC and CSIRO have also compiled a practical guide of “tips and tactics” to help landholders deal with a range of issues pertaining to the plague. Mouse numbers are high in many regions, including ours, which is of concern at this time of year. Mice have continued to breed throughout the summer and now into autumn, which likely means populations will peak around the time winter crops are sown. Growers are being urged to actively monitor activity and report using MouseAlert – www. mousealert.org.au so others can see what’s happening around their area.

Gun parts seized

COVER STORY

Save it from the scrap heap

By JOHN RYAN

LIKE so many young Dubbo blokes over the decades, Norm Organ did his welding apprenticeship at City Welding Works, becoming a first-class welder in the early 1980s. He worked there for eight years before moving out to work on the construction of Fletcher International’s abattoir and did a few other jobs over the years before starting up his own welding business which has now morphed into scrap metal art as an ever-growing sideline. “I’ve got a basic outlook on a lot of things and it’s just called “having a go”, but you need a little bit of imagination,” Mr Organ told Dubbo Photo News. “I look at something and go, “I can add something to that or cut it off or polish it up” and it brings out the shape and people do recognise the shape once it’s tidied up a bit.” There are hundreds of objects d’scrap art as you walk into Norm’s Fletcher Crescent workshop but one that catches the eye is the reworked expansion chamber from a 1970s two-stroke dirt bike that he’s cut and put into a different configuration to create a miniature dinosaur. He says the thought process that envisaged that piece is totally random, and that he can’t ever tell when he’s going to come up with an idea. “It’s gets confusing because there’s so many different ideas floating around when you’re

looking for an idea – the expansion chamber from a motorbike, you look at a lot of other parts to add on to that and you come up with a lot of other different ideas and I don’t write them all down,” Mr Organ said. “I think we’ve all got the imagination. I come across it a lot at festivals where people tell me they could never think like this and I tell them we’ve all got imaginations, they’ll just travel a different way with it. “I’m not very mechanically minded and some people are, that’s how I look at that. Same as sculpture, that’s my thing.” As an artisan sculptor, he says he gets a buzz from people walking into his shop who are gobsmacked at the sheer range and creativity on display, not to mention the workmanship and hours of labour. “I take all the compliments on board. I don’t let it go to my head but we all need a pat on the back is how I look at that and it gets back to the basics of having a go,” he said. “It’s all there to be enjoyed no matter what it is in life. We don’t pat each other on the back often enough, whether you’re doing a welding job, working as a nurse or a community care driver, these little pats on the back are not given enough today irrespective of what we do.” Mr Organ enjoys the way his different adventures can be worked into an ever-evolving awareness of latent possibilities, that every step in life can teach

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO police were allegedly assaulted after a traffic stop on Tuesday uncovered more than the officers bargained for. At about 12.20am on April 13, police stopped a Ford Ranger utility on Brisbane Street, Dubbo due to the manner of driving. Officers spoke with the 41-yearold male driver who was subjected to a roadside breath test, which returned a negative result. Following further checks, police conducted a search of the vehicle and allegedly seized a rifle scope, six firearm suppressors, nearly $9000 cash, three laptops, mobile phones, other electronic devices and documentation. Police also allege that in a subsequent search of the man they seized cannabis oil from his underwear, allegedly causing the man to become aggressive, hitting a male senior constable in the face and running from the scene. Police pursued the man on foot as he jumped over a fence into a paddock and when they attempted to arrest the man, a physical struggled ensued during which a male sergeant and male constable were repeatedly kicked, forcing them to use OC spray before using an electronic stun device to arrest the man. The three officers injured during the incident did not require medical treatment. Following further investigations, at about 12.30pm, detectives from the State Crime Command’s Drug and Firearms Squad conducted a Firearms Prohibition Order search at a home at Horsley Park. Police say that during the search they seized a number of items including electronic devices and steroids.

us something new. “If you’re driving to Alice Springs, drive at sun-up and sundown and you’ll see the country change. That’s how you’ve gotta look at life, enjoy what’s there, without getting too philosophical, it’s a very short life – they do say we’re not getting out of this alive. “Without hurting anybody, is how I look at all this – I’ve got a basic outlook on life and I can come and do the paid welding jobs and come and create something at the same time, even from the offcuts from those welding jobs. I’m a basic person.” He labels his current life as “a pretty good mix” – a welder by trade and training which in turn

gives him the skills to practically build the sculptures his imagination can envisage. That’s coupled with his workshop which also allows him to do standard welding fare such as structural beams for local builders. He says it’s great to be able to break his week into straight welding work and then spend the other part of his time creating imaginative pieces, a task which is also far kinder on his back. “I think it’s great. You need the welding jobs to pay your way. I enjoy doing the welding and then I enjoy creating something totally different and the appreciation from both ways is good.”

No ANZAC stands alone By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY LAST year many elderly veterans, after surviving so much danger in war, were unable to march in peace because of the silent danger posed by the Coronavirus pandemic. Restrictions haven’t been lifted for this year’s marches in Dubbo and Wellington but they have been eased, so while members of the general public are being encouraged to watch the march and attend the ceremonies, the march itself will be restricted to serving and ex-service personnel, the Dubbo and District Concert band, emergency services representatives and Air Force and Army cadets. Other measures including QR Code check-in will be in effect to ensure the event complies with state and federal government measures. Dubbo RSL Sub-Branch President Tom Gray said it was unfortunate the restrictions would change the way the services were run but said the precautions were necessary to ensure the event could go ahead safely. “After the disappointment of last year’s commemorations being cancelled, it is positive to see that the NSW and Australian Governments have found a way to ensure Anzac Day events can go ahead,” Mr Gray

said. Services will be held at Dubbo, Wellington, Stuart Town, Geurie, Eumungerie, Mumbil and Gollan throughout the day. In Dubbo a Dawn Service will be held from 5.30am for a 5.45am commencement, while later in the morning there will be a Commemoration Service starting with a March at 10.30am. In Wellington a Dawn Service will commence with a march from the Soldiers Memorial Club to Cameron Park with the service to commence at 6am. The Commemorative Service involves a march at 10.45am with the service to start at 10.55am in Cameron Park. Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) will assist the Dubbo RSL SubBranch with preparations for Anzac Day services and Council CEO Dean Frost said last year was a testing time for everyone not being able to commemorate Anzac Day in the normal way. “This year dawn services and commemoration services will resume across the region,” Mr Frost said. “It is great news for the Dubbo RSL Sub Branch who do such an excellent job of running the service, as well as our serving and ex-service personnel.”

Farmer fee relief

NSW Farmers has commended the state government for a rebate scheme for NSW and local government fees and charges that followed a $500 million commitment in the state budget last year. Farm businesses are urged to register for a $1500 rebate, available through Service NSW, which can help cover ongoing costs such as council fees. NSW Farmers President James Jackson said primary producers should utilise schemes such as this, which are designed to bolster small businesses in the wake of the COVID-induced economic downturn. “Small businesses with total wages below $1.2 million payroll tax threshold, and a turnover of at least $75,000 a year will be able to claim back council fees and charges,” Mr Jackson said. The rebate will be available until June 30, 2022.

JUNK FOOD RESEARCH

Overeat at Easter? You’re not alone IF you’re enjoying reading this week’s edition of Dubbo Photo News over a cuppa and some sneaky chocolate left over from Easter, you might want to put them aside for a minute or two while you read this story. Because it seems that when it comes to junk food, we’re punching well above our weight in Australia, according to new research from the CSIRO which has launched an online tool to help people understand the risks of overindulgence. The research shows that nearly four out of five people overindulge in high kilojoule, low nutrient food every day, prompting calls for new approaches when it comes to discretionary foods and the average Aussie’s diet. Because high consumption of junk food results in poor nutrition, high obesity rates and greater risk of lifestyle diseases, the CSIRO has launched a free, online tool to provide the community with a greater understanding of their discretionary food intake and where they can make improvements to their eating habits. The new Junk Food Analyser provides individuals with specific advice on which categories of discretionary foods they are consuming the most, with the interactive tool providing strategies and tips on where kilojoules can be reduced, which is essential for weight loss. According to CSIRO Research scientist Dr Gilly Hendrie, the re-

New research shows that nearly four out of ﬁve people overindulge in high kilojoule, low nutrient food every day,

sults of the study show that on average, Aussie adults are eating about twice as much as is recommended in the Australian Dietary Guidelines, with a whopping 5.1 servings of discretionary foods consumed each day, the equivalent to about 3000kJ, or 20 small solid Easter eggs every day.

How’s that leftover choccy tasting now, Dubbo? Want to know more about how our unhealthy habits stack up? The results also uncovered our top weaknesses, with alcohol taking out the top spot (21 per cent of total discretionary food intake), followed by cakes and biscuits (19

A safer place to live and a great

per cent), sugar sweetened drinks (12 per cent) and savoury pies and pastries (9 per cent). “While these types of foods and drinks are often high in sugar, kilojoules and fat, they do bring enjoyment, which means alternative methods must be explored in helping people enjoy their favourite treats in the context of a healthy diet,” Dr Hendrie explained, pointing to a range of strategies that have been modelled in the Junk Food Analyser to help users reduce kilojoules in an achievable way. “While the elimination strategy is common in diet programs and can reduce kilojoules the most, the interactive Junk Food Analyser lets users explore a combination of strategies to reduce discretionary food intake, without cutting their favourite foods altogether. That might include choosing to eliminate alcohol, take a break from cakes and biscuits and halve confectionery consumption,” Dr Hendrie said, adding that the new tool really can help us to have our cake and eat it too. “With the additional support of a balanced and evidence-based framework such as the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, Australians can feel assured that they are embarking on a health journey that fits into their lifestyle, without the sacrifice,” she said.

Chip and chop for furry shelter residents

Toy Drags By JOHN RYAN IT’S not often drivers get to race their street cars, legally, over an eighth of a mile but for many of the Toyota owners in Dubbo during Easter it was the chance of a lifetime. Dubbo City Car Club hosted the Toyota nationals drag racing event at Bodangora aerodrome just outside Wellington and committee member Mike Cleary said it was a fantastic event. “We had a mix of old and new Toyotas, some race spec cars and a lot of street-driven registered cars with more than 75 entries in total with bikes and drag cars from around Tamworth, Newcastle and Central West NSW,” Mr Cleary told Dubbo Photo News. “It was great to see the Toyota Nationals hold the 45th annual event in Dubbo after cancellation last year for the first time ever. “It will be great to see them back in town for the driving events along with the Show & Shine for the 46th year next Easter long weekend.”

SOME of Dubbo’s furry residents might be ducking for cover, but potential pet owners will be happy to hear that council will soon be delivering de-sexing and microchipping services for surrendered animals at the animal shelter once a month. In partnership with the Animal Welfare League NSW council will attend the shelter once a month for a week at a time and will help vaccinate, desex and microchip animals that are surrendered to the shelter. Council is hoping the program will eventually be extended to all Dubbo’s cat and dog owners, and will be working closely with local vets to ensure best outcomes.

Comedy twins nerd it out By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S inaugural Fringe Festival is set to provide a diverse lineup of niche entertainment events and two of those shows promise to provide laughs for plenty of locals. Up the Nerdsville Track is one case in point – think of a psychedelic road trip with a nerd as your guide, complete with soundtrack and slide show. Clark Gormley presents a oneman barrage of facts and inaccuracies related to this wide brown land and his outback odyssey includes studies of linguistics, etymology, cartography and a rigorous proof by free association. The show also incorporates original nerdy songs and poetry. The show has been described by musician Andrew Clermont as the un-mapping of Australia, somewhere between John Clark, The Castle and John Cleese. Up the Nerdsville Track will play at Wesley Hall on Thursday, May 6 from 6pm as well as two slots at the Pastoral Hotel, Friday and Saturday May 7 and 8, also from 6pm. Clark Gormley also features in Failure to Launch alongside Robert Edmonds and the duo performs funny songs and witty and award-winning poetry but ponder as to why they can’t get their books off the ground.

Short term rental limits extended to Dubbo DUBBO property owners who operate short-term rentals like Airbnb will be among those affected by the expansion of a cap on the number of days their premises can be let out to visitors. The NSW government has extended the 180-day limit on using empty properties for Airbnb-style letting to include areas outside greater Sydney, including Dubbo and some other regional centres across the state. The Sydney Morning Herald reported this week the new rules for short term rental accommodation, which were due to come into force on July 30 as part of state-wide planning rules, would now come into force on November 1. The move is a departure from government plans announced in 2018 which allowed councils outside of greater Sydney to have the power to impose their own caps, no fewer than 180 days a year. According to the report, the government claims the cap is designed to reduce the potential for what it calls the “unintended consequences” of Airbnb-style short-term lettings on rental affordability. Until this change, it had been up to each council to decide what the rules around short-term letting would be, and Local Government NSW says the decision removes that autonomy, while short-term holiday accommodation outfit Stayz is also critical, claiming it will hit the state’s fragile tourism economy just as it’s beginning to recover from the pandemic’s impact.

NICHE INDUSTRY

Sculptured bodies By JOHN RYAN

Robert Siemsen says Dubbo is a great place to build an innovative niche business – from his small premises in East Dubbo he takes on work from clients all across Australia and the world. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

ROBERT Siemsen reckons Dubbo is an innovation hub for ancient trades such as traditional coachbuilding. The 32-year-old grew up in Sydney but is glad to be well away from the big smoke and believes the “hub of the west” is the perfect place for all sorts of old skills and new tech businesses to set up shop. “The thing with Dubbo is the overheads are so low. It’s really a good spot for this trade and because of the local agricultural industry, there are so many engineers in Dubbo so it lends itself really well to the trade. You’re five or 10 minutes from all of them so if you need something made, because I can’t make everything, I can duck down and see Robert Cannon. There are just blokes around,” Mr Siemsen told Dubbo Photo News. He said the high rents in Sydney, both for housing and industrial sheds, are so prohibitive he would have needed constant work from the time he started a business just to have a hope of surviving. “I grew up in Campbelltown. It’s a big change to move to the country but I couldn’t see myself doing this anywhere in Sydney just because of the rent – commercial property (costs) millions of dollars down there. “In Dubbo you’ve got (businesses like) Saddler and Co, there’s

a real network of people doing special types of work and ever since I moved here I’ve seen that there’s plenty of opportunity here for a start-up or for anything specialised.” But back to his trade of coachbuilding, a job that’s become innovative in this day and age as most of those skills died out a century ago. “Coachbuilding is a traditional term to represent how things were done at the turn of the last century when vintage cars were made by hand. It’s wood shaping as well as aluminium and contoured sheet metal, which is what I’m focussing on at the moment.” Mr Siemsen did an apprenticeship with Mercedes Benz in Sydney straight out of school before moving to a famous restoration company down in Tasmania. “(Then) my wife and I moved back to the mainland, working with Western Street & Custom in Richmond (NSW) before moving to Dubbo to work with Mark Nugent. “I’ve been in Dubbo now for six years. I had no connection with (the city) prior to that. “I knew Mark, everyone in the industry knows Mark, and I really wanted to work for him so I pestered him for a long time until he finally gave me an opportunity to come to Dubbo. My wife and I have a daughter now and it’s been really good,” he said.

Traditional coachbuilding isn’t a common trade but Dubbo has two people who excel in this art, and nearly all the jobs being worked on come from outside the local area and from overseas. During that first Dubbo stint Mr Siemsen was awarded a scholarship by the Winston Churchill Trust, giving him the opportunity to work in England where the coachbuilding trade originated and under some of the best and most innovative craftsmen in the world. “It’s still the spiritual heartland of the trade. I was there for three months working full time, I had plenty of experience prior to going over there so I really made the most of it. I got a lot out of it and learnt a lot in a small amount of time. I was very, very lucky,” he said. “We came back to Australia and we were going to go back over because I was given a job but the visas took a bit long and by February last year the Coronavirus pandemic really took over so the decision was made for us to stay at home. There was no way we were going to fly to England after that but it’s turned out okay. “I’ve only been open for six months and I’m reasonably busy. I’m not flat out but I’m in the process of getting my name out there, letting blokes know that I’m here and people seem keen.”

Good sport: Kicking goals for community By JEN COWLEY SPORT has taken Murray Newham a long way, literally – from Trangie as a youngster to Dubbo as a father of two, via Bathurst to Melbourne to Perth and back again to Melbourne. Now, as the NSW Department of Sport’s Project Officer Partnerships for the Far West Region, he couldn’t be happier with the pathway his passion for an active and healthy lifestyle has cleared for him. An avid Rugby League tragic, Murray hails from Trangie and went to school in Narromine, where he played for the Narromine Jets. “I went to university in Bathurst, where I did a double degree in human movement and business. Like a lot of kids, when I was growing up I wanted to be a professional athlete and play sport for a living. I made a few rep sides but I soon realised my aspirations weren’t matched by my ability,” he laughs. But there’s more than one way to peel an orange. Murray sidestepped, taking the sports management ball and running with it headlong into a career in the business side of the industry where he continues to kick some important

goals. “After uni I went to work for the NRL (National Rugby League) in Melbourne and then in Western Australia – that was a big step and I really enjoyed it but I was in a long-distance relationship with my now wife, and so after three years I moved back to Melbourne. “I also worked with Cricket Australia running national events like the national indigenous and inclusion championships.” Murray is now a father of two small children, and with family still here in the region, wanted to give his youngsters the same kind of country upbringing he’d enjoyed. “I know how much I enjoyed growing up in the bush and there are a lot of sporting opportunities – this job coming up was absolutely perfect. “This job”, he tells me, is “about building relationships and partnerships with sporting clubs, councils and community groups in the far west region”. “The aim is to build positive, active lifestyles and increase participation in sport and recreation, and encourage people to live healthy lifestyles.” Throughout his career, Murray has come to understand just how

important sport is to community. “It’s such a powerful vehicle, particularly in small and remote communities. I’ve seen how much sport means to people in these places, and what an impact it can have on people’s lives.” He’s also seen first-hand the impact of not being able to play or participate in sport, for instance throughout the pandemic. “I came into the role just as the whole Covid thing started. It was a difficult time in terms of not being able to get out to communities and there not being the competitions, so I’m really looking forward to, hopefully, things getting back to a bit of normality for sports. I’m looking forward to seeing all those smiling faces on the sporting fields.” Access to sport can be a challenge for small communities that are remote or isolated, Murray explains. “That’s where we need to build partnerships and relationships with other agencies to support people to engage with sport. I’m really passionate about sport and helping people to live healthy lifestyles. The benefits are incredible not only for individuals but for communities as a whole.” A career such as Murray’s be-

gins with that passion for sport and a healthy lifestyle, he says, and “for helping others to achieve those things too”. “Volunteering is a valuable way to open doors into an industry like this, it’s really important in terms

of building relationships and getting experience. Once you get in it’s about developing networks and taking opportunities.” His advice? “Be the best person you can be – put your best foot forward and work hard.”

Making her stand as the voice of reason By NATALIE LEWIS HELEN Swan is not afraid to be the voice of equality. She stands against racism, homophobia and prejudice in society. “I just hate unfairness and injustice and I see quite a lot of both. “The biggest issue is racism and how much we must do to fix it,” she said. As the CEO of the WINS Community Centre in Wellington for the past four years, she deals with these issues regularly, sometimes on a personal level. “We do have a focus on the Aboriginal community because they have missed out in Wellington,”

she says, adding that the only homophobia she has experienced has come from the white community. As the hub of Wellington, WINS helps people with financial and legal matters, budgeting and bill assistance, NDIS and housing advice. They also run community and cultural groups. “We try to meet the needs of just about everyone,” she says. Caring for others comes naturally for Ms Swan who once worked in a women’s refuge where she saw many women escaping domestic violence. Being raised in a liberal household helped her to become a strong, caring person while her

background in accounting and business enables her to run the centre efficiently. “I grew up in the Melbourne suburbs, I had a very ethical father. I got properly educated. I studied and became an accountant and obtained a business diploma from Sydney TAFE.” Ms Swan said her job is vital in delivering a service to people. “I get to meet lots of new people and help people; it can be very gratifying and satisfying.” And when it comes to stamping out injustice, she is clear about her stance. “There are things we can do,” she said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Mitch Grainger has been quietly maturing as an artist for more than 25 years, while performing and recording alongside artists such as ACDC’s Malcolm Young and Harry Vanda.

Blues guru

By JOHN RYAN

PLENTY of US cities claim they’re the home or birthplace of the blues style of music but while Memphis and Chicago can lay their claims, Dubbo is about to get a taste of one of the world’s best performers when it comes to this music genre. Mitch Grainger has been described as a perfect paradox – a white bloke from Australia who effortlessly infuses the blues genre’s traditional stylings with a confidence

and depth of spirit, that has him being compared to the all-time greats. Since stepping into the light with his 2015 breakout solo acoustic release, The Blues, Mitch and his high-energy stage show have burst onto the blues and roots scene “like a field holler echoing from the deep dark south through a dusty 50s tube amplifier”. He’s packed houses in the US, Australia and Scandinavia, performed at prestigious festivals, such as the American Folk Alliance in Kansas

City, and earned standing ovations while opening for Aussie guitar guru Tommy Emmanuel across the North East of the USA. His sound is built on a talented configuration of vocals, harmonica and guitar. Now with a growing global fan base that includes more than 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, Mitch is in the studio recording an album with the working title Plug It In that promises to take his raw emotional form of Blues and Roots music up the metaphor-

ical Mississippi River, “out of the acoustic domain and into the voltaic”. He’ll be performing on The Crossroads Stage at the Old Bank Music Shop on April 22 from 7pm. There are a few options to book tickets: You can book via this link: www.trybooking.com/ BPRYS A clickable link is also available at the website mitchgrainger.com and tickets will be available in person at the Old Bank Music Store.

EMERGENCY REPORT

The Dubbo Photo News column dedicated to the hard work of our emergency services personnel. SPARE a thought for the Dubbo bloke who was aboard MPV Everest (Australia’s temporary Antarctic resupply vessel) when a fire broke out in one of the engine rooms. At the time of writing everyone on board appeared to be safe but there are claims initial reports from the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) sought to downplay the incident. Dubbo Photo News has been unable to get in touch with the local fella, but the Maritime Union of Australia assistant national secretary Jamie Newlyn accused the AAD of downplaying the seriousness of the most recent fire, saying it was lucky none of the crew were seriously injured. “The Australian Antarctic Division is attempting to downplay the scale of this incident, but images taken by sheltering crew members show flames leaping above the vessel’s deck, engulfing part of the cargo area,” Mr Newlyn said. “This was an extremely serious incident that has not only caused significant damage to one of the MPV Everest’s two engines, but resulted in the destruction of two smaller vessels stored on the deck. “Thankfully, there are no reports of injuries among the 109 crew and expeditioners on board, but a fire of this scale on a vessel just days into a voyage from remote research stations in Antarctica is extremely alarming.” Safe travels to the 109 people on board.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Student fire awareness STUDENTS from Stuart Town Primary School visited Dubbo’s Orana Fire Control Centre last week and learnt about what goes on behind the scenes during incidents. It’s great to see kids being taken to these sorts of facilities so they know what’s going on in relation to emergency services, and also, who knows, it may fire some of them up to volunteer or look for careers in this sector.

Hay shed fire DUBBO HQ and Eschol Rural Fire Brigades were paged to a reported fire at a hay shed on Warrie Road last week. Crews worked with the farmer’s front-end loader, spending hours removing and extinguishing all effected bales, preventing the fire from spreading any further. The RFS has publicly thanked the landholders who spotted the smoke early and believes the quick work by all helped contain the fire to a relatively small area of the hay shed. With all the recent rain and temperatures around the high 20s, it’s a good reminder to check the temperature of hay bales to avoid the possibility of a fire starting.

Teen charged after car theft and police pursuit POLICE have charged a 14-yearold boy after a police pursuit involving a stolen vehicle. About 2.30am on April 10, police attended a caravan park on Whylandra Street following reports a Ford Ranger had been stolen. Police allege the teen entered a caravan while the occupant slept and stole keys to the vehicle. Police commenced patrols of the area and located the ute on East Street a short time later, when it’s alleged the driver accelerated away harshly after police activated their warning lights and sirens to signal the vehicle to stop. A pursuit was initiated onto the Newell Highway, police deployed road spikes and the ute was finally stopped on Erskine Street where the 14-year-old driver was arrested after a short struggle. He was charged with offences including aggravated break and enter commit serious indictable offence, steal motor vehicle, po-

lice pursuit, face blackened/disguised with intent commit indictable offence, and resist or hinder police officer in the execution of duty. The boy appeared before a children’s court on April 10 where he was formally refused bail to appear before a children’s court on April 19.

Robbery, assault charges

Do your level best at crossings POLICE are targeting risky behaviour at rail crossings across the region, the campaign aimed at increasing public safety and awareness around rail level crossings in regional NSW. During the campaign police will be on the look-out for motorists disobeying level crossing flashing lights and stop signs, vehicles queuing over the railway tracks, speeding near level crossings, and drivers who are distracted by illegal use of mobile phones. Traffic and Highway Patrol Command North West Region Traffic Coordinator, Sergeant Kelly Wixx, said that despite the po-

tentially fatal consequences, people are still ignoring warnings at level crossings. “Trains can travel at speeds of up to 160km/h and can take more than a kilometre to come to a complete stop,” Sgt Wixx said. “Disobeying level crossing warning lights and signs can lead to crashes between vehicles and trains where the consequences can quickly turn deadly.” Sgt Wixx said there is no excuse for putting lives on the line by trying to race a train. “This is why we need to continue raising awareness and rein-

force our Train to Stop message to motorists at level crossings,” she said. Between 2016 and 2020 there have been nine collisions between trains and cars at level crossings in NSW, resulting in two people losing their lives and nine suffering injuries – all of which could have been avoided. The penalty for disobeying controls is three demerit points and a $464 fine.

A 35-YEAR-OLD man has faced court after being charged with an alleged aggravated robbery in Dubbo last month. About 12pm on March 17 a man withdrew cash from a bank on Macquarie Street, Dubbo, before returning to his vehicle and police allege a man unknown to him entered the car and assaulted the driver before running from the scene with the cash. The driver sustained bruising and swelling as a result of the incident. About 11.30pm on April 7 police arrested a 35-year-old man at a licensed premises on Fitzroy Street, Dubbo. He was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with aggravated robbery.

Highview Place fire FIRE and Rescue NSW crews rushed to a house fire that broke out just after 12pm on April 8 in West Dubbo’s Highview Place. On arrival crews found a shed well alight, with properties on either side threatened by the spread of fire. Police and paramedics provided assistance while firefighters got to work to extinguish the blaze. The heat from the fire was so intense the shed structure collapsed, with firefighters reporting the blaze to be under control about an hour after arriving on scene. Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Scott Dodson said it was a timely reminder for residents to develop their fire escape plan. “Now is the time for residents to check they have a working smoke alarm and that all members of the family have an awareness of calling Triple Zero (000) in an emergency,” he said. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Well-known watering holes change hands

A NUMBER of well-known watering holes across Dubbo and the central west have changed hands recently, and locals will be interested to know that MPK Hotels – an established pub group headed up by Nick McKechnie and Nelson Kelly – has sold its portfolio to a new investment syndicate. Dubbo Photo News understands that, as reported last week in The Shout – an online liquor and hospitality news service – five freehold pubs, including The Castlereagh in Dubbo and Wellington’s Federal Hotel, were all sold to Investment Management Group Hotels (IMGH). The Shout reported that the deal was negotiated by a broker who would not be drawn on the price but industry sources suggest the five-pub portfolio transacted for roughly $75 million. The previous owners are reportedly “looking to wind back their workloads to spend more time with their families”. According to the report the hotels – which include three others from Bathurst, Mudgee and Orange – are underpinned by very strong earnings across food, beverage and bottle shop sales. “Passive income streams driven by accommodation numbers from Dubbo and Orange are further bolstered by 110 electronic gambling machines across the five pubs,” The Shout reported. “There are also three separate

DA approvals for gaming smoking solutions at the three larger pubs, which McKechnie and Kelly chose not to act upon in order to “leave something in it for the next bloke”. “The new owners are planning on acting on the approvals to further enhance the pubs’ gaming components. Mr Kelly told The Shout that he and his partner Mr McKechnie would be “sticking around” to help provide a smooth transition for the new owners in the short term. “We love the pubs and the staff that run them and it will be business as usual for our loyal customers.” The new Canberra-based investment group is looking to grow its portfolio of iconic hotels, according to the report, which quotes an IMGH representative as saying the

acquisition of the five central west hotels represents the first significant hospitality transaction for the outfit. “The past few years have seen exciting and significant growth across the Central West NSW region and we are delighted to have made this acquisition. Our intention is to leverage these foundations to extend and evolve the hospitality experience for the people of Orange, Bathurst, Wellington, Mudgee and Dubbo.” Broker Nick Butler said the transaction was significant in underscoring the argument that regional assets have become just as valuable as their metropolitan counterparts. “This is obviously an important sale and adds plenty of weight to the theory that strong regional as-

sets deserve to be held in the same esteem as the larger metro pubs. “I could wax lyrical with language more suited to private equity ‘metrics’, but this is all about buying quality hotels that will provide excellent returns in a low interest rate environment. “The pub space is earthy and grounded, based on the skill of its people; the inherent value of the building and land; and the importance of these places in the community. “Once you get those aspects right, the return on investment naturally follows. Two leasehold pubs remain under MPK Hotels management: The Coachman Hotel Motel in Parkes, and the Western Star Hotel in Dubbo, although according to The Shout report, the latter is currently for sale.

Fair go for books By JOHN RYAN THE Coronavirus pandemic had some inadvertent positive outcomes, with data from Neilson BookScan claiming adult fiction sales surged by 12 per cent, with children’s titles up 7 per cent. The Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie’s Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair publicity officer Peter Bartley says this augurs well for the event which makes a welcome return in a few weeks. After a two year gap the club’s annual book fair will be staged on the first weekend in May. “It will be completely COVID safe and will meet all requirements of NSW Health, Dubbo Regional Council and the club’s risk management insurers, and there

will be a whopping 25,000 books for sale which will be the best of the best,” Mr Bartley told Dubbo Photo News. He says the Rotary club has kept only good quality books after a rigorous sorting process, with the best of those titles, 25,000 books, being put up for sale. “With so many people in lockdown and restricted in activities, books have been and continue to be an important escape,” Mr Bartley said. Added to the Neilson survey, Australia’s largest independent publisher Allen and Unwin says book sales have traded up to 34 per cent higher than previous levels and Mr Bartley says it’s great news that Australians are reading more books.

UNION CAMPAIGN

Paid parental leave win for public sector MANY of Dubbo’s public servants will be cheering a recent win for the state’s public sector union to secure universal parental leave. From July 1, all new parents working in the sector to have the potential to access up to 14 weeks paid leave. The win follows a decade-long campaign by the Public Service Association (PSA) that will see primary carers able to take parental leave for the first year of their baby’s life. Prior to this win, only the maternal parent could take the full 14 weeks, or up to one week if they were the “other” parent. PSA’s Stewart Little said the ruling gives families more choice as to how they’ll care for their child, but also means women “will be able to more readily return to work” when they’re ready because the other parent will also have access to paid leave. Mr Stewart said there was “no silver bullet to addressing gender inequality in workplaces” but that this move “paves the way for significant cultural shift”.

COMMUNITY CONCERN

Concerted effort needed to curb family violence FAMILY violence is an insidious problem that reaches into far too many homes across Australia, and Dubbo is by no means immune. So a push for a co-ordinated national approach to address the scourge on our community will come as welcome news across our city and our region. The final report recently released by a federal government inquiry into family, domestic and sexual violence included 88 recommendations aimed at co-ordinating a nation-wide level approach to violence, which has been magnified by the pandemic. The Law Council of Australia says the proposal for a uniform definition of family, domestic and sexual violence is welcome because it will help address the confusion and complexity that arises from inconsistent legislative frameworks between jurisdictions and will also assist with better data collection.

Lexus of Central West Raises Funds for Royal Flying Doctor Service Contributed by KAREN RAUCHLE THE leader in Dubbo’s luxury car market hosted their in-warranty customers and their guests to a luxurious event at Dubbo Golf Club on Sunday, March 21. During the event, one hole was designated as a charity hole. Golfers were invited to make donations and were extremely supportive of this worthy cause. Each year the annual golf event raises much needed funds for local and regional organisations, such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service, with this year’s donations totalling $2,270. The cheque was officially handed over by David Hayes, Dealer Principal, and Brad Mules, Lexus Sales Consultant on Monday, March 29. Terry Clark, President, Royal Flying Doctor Service Dubbo Support Group, and Cecelia Hutchinson-Parsons, Ambassador, Royal Flying Doctor Service Experience Dubbo, visited the Lexus of Central West showroom to receive the funds.

Disenchanted fringe descends on Dubbo By JOHN RYAN DUBBO is in for a variety of treats at the upcoming inaugural Fringe Festival and one show on the radar is the cabaret show Disenchanted. Newcastle Fringe director Philip Aughey, who’s heavily involved in organising the Dubbo Fringe, said one of his highlights this year was catching the show. “I figured before I went that it might be alright,” Mr Aughey said. “That thought was a supreme understatement. “Eliane Morel is not only very talented, but skilfully works with her audience... everyone totally loves the show.” His wasn’t a lone opinion: Disenchanted: A Cabaret of Twisted Fairy Tales won the title Best in Fringe at the Newcastle Fringe Festival.

Disenchanted has been described as having a raunchy, operatic ”into the woods” vibe, a dastardly modern take on old fairy tales with its cast of hilarious characters all played by one woman, Eliane Morel, who’s backed by accompanist/musical director Daryl Wallis. Disenchanted began its life at the 2018 Sydney Fringe, and since then has toured the South Coast, aired online at Adelaide FringeView and picked up an award for Best Adult Show (Young-Howze Theatre Awards) for its Melbourne Fringe online adaptation, before most recently winning Best in Fringe at Newcastle Fringe 2021. Set in a Parisian Salon in 1699 and hosted by the vivacious Madame d’Aulnoy (a real-life historical character, with a splash of artistic licence thrown in), it features a cast of disgruntled fairy

WITH the weather soon to start cooling its way towards winter temperatures, households across Dubbo and the region will be looking to fire up the heating, and that often means the first stockpiles of firewood. If you’re thinking of collecting your own, here’s a friendly reminder from Central West Local Land Services that it’s illegal to gather firewood from Travelling Stock Reserves (TSRs). Ignore the rules and you could be facing a long cold winter with a hefty fine of up to $5500. Firewood is available for private collection from selected state forests but you must have a permit, for which you can apply through Service NSW. Once you have your permit, you must carry it with you at all times while collecting firewood, and produce it on request. You’re only allowed to take fallen timber and you must stay within collection limits, with firewood only to be collected from the mapped area shown on your permit. You must also record your collection on your permit before you leave the area. For more information on which forests you can collect from, and to apply for a permit, visit the Service NSW website or go to www.forestrycorporation.com.au.

WELLINGTON pedestrians will soon be able to enjoy criss-crossing the Bell River between Cameron and Pioneer Parks, with a federal government grant of more than $700,000 to replace the old pedestrian footbridge. Federal Member for Calare, Andrew Gee, said the current bridge had been unsafe and unstable “for a while now” and that it was also too narrow and not wheelchair friendly. “The focus of replacing the bridge will therefore be accessibility for all, so this project will benefit the whole community.” Dubbo Regional Council is also kicking the can to the tune of $150,000 for the project, which is set to begin in June and will support 10 full time jobs for the town. Hopefully, Wellington-ites will be able to get over this newly built bridge by December this year.

DROUGHT SCHEME

Funds ﬂow for farmers’ future prooﬁng

MENTAL health has never been talked about so openly and authors like Kim Hodges are helping to get positive messages out there about the issue, which is why she’s presenting Mental Health in Ageing for Wellness Week as part of her Western NSW book tour. Kim grew up in Coolah and left the town of 900 at the age of 18, travelling extensively in her 20s and 30s. In her 40s, she wrote a memoir for her sons to read as an insight into their mum’s life, but realised this story, Girl on the Edge, was unique and may resonate with a broad readership. Inequality and differences caught her eye from a very young age, as in many ways Coolah was polarised. She believed the poverty, wealth, power and gender divisions stood tall. In her 20s, Kim resided in Sydney and the UK, travelled through Europe and visited India, Nepal, Morocco and Thailand. Already fascinated with the concept of difference from growing up in Coolah and living in Sydney, travelling in developing countries cemented this fascination as Kim experienced people living in communities with vastly different cul-

THE drought may be to all intents and purposes over across Dubbo and the western region, but the news of new funding for the Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate (EWIR) scheme is welcome. The scheme is a popular drought management and preparedness measure for farmers. Both the NSW and federal governments have kicked the tin to the tune of a combined $30 million, some of which our region’s primary producers will be able to access to help build the future resilience of their farms. NSW Farmers has welcomed the new allocation, saying the scheme means farmers will be able to install infrastructure to better prepare them to withstand future prolonged dry conditions. The scheme will be administered by the NSW Rural Assistance Authority and will provide eligible primary producers access to a rebate of up 25 per cent (up to $25,000) on new purchases and installation costs of new water infrastructure.

tural, religious and political influences compared with Australia. Her passion for social justice evolved whilst growing up in Coolah and carried through into her career. “Money does not buy happiness, but poverty can bring you misery – poverty is a societal crime” – such are just two of the insights she’s gained from her broad international experience. Kim has now written Girl Over the Edge, a story about her lived experience of mental illness. With a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Social Policy, Kim has been employed in many professional roles including tutor and lecturer in the School of Arts and Social Sciences at Southern Cross University and as a curriculum development consultant for TAFE NSW. She’s also worked in health promotion, track and field, enrolled nursing, as a bar attendant, shop assistant and nanny, and says parenting three boys who are now teenagers has been the most educationally challenging and rewarding task of all. Kim’s Dubbo presentation will be at Oak Tree from 10-11am on Monday, April 19. Go to kimhodges.id.au for more details.

TIME WARP

Dubbo’s RAAF connection By JOHN RYAN

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

THE Royal Australian Air Force turned 100 last week and it’s incredible to think that the local RAAF Stores depot, at the height of its operations, employed more than 800 people. This is especially so when you look at this photo of the depot in full oper-

ation, showing Dubbo was then a much smaller place. There were few houses to the north between Cobra and Wingewarra Streets, no development east where we now have Orana Mall blocks away on Wheelers Lane, and the southern boundary shows orchards instead of houses along High Street.

ART TRAIL

Feast for the senses in store By NATALIE LEWIS

‘PLAN your own adventure’ is the advice given ahead of this year’s Wellington Art Trail which will feature the varied talents of the region’s artists. Wellington Arts president Lisa Thomas explained that the trail begins in the heart of town, where participants can start their weekend of creative travel. “We invite you to grab some friends, get a map, pack a picnic, or buy lunch, get in your car and explore our glorious region at leisure,” she said. “There’s 42 artists and over 12 different venues. Artists from Wellington, Dubbo, Wongarbon, Bakers Swamp, Stuart Town and Geurie will open their doors to allow guests into their private studios, showcasing their skills in a range of areas including watercolour, ceramics, mosaics, photography, metal and stone working and wood resin. Some of them are

Where to find all the art:  Wellington artists will have open studios and the old Western Stores building will host music, art and food stalls.  Stuart Town offers an eclectic mix of artworks for sale in the restored community hall. A memorial service will also be held on Saturday to commemorate World War I veteran Tom Cohen being repatriated back home.  Wongarbon’s art hub will feature mosaics, paintings, etching and bronze sculptures from a collective of artists with open studios.  Geurie’s offering includes an array of paintings and drawings along with

even using it as a catalyst to shake up their own work.” Mrs Thomas said this year’s event features a wide variety of art to see and buy. “You may find a priceless musthave piece or you may find even more treasures along the way at

some snazzy little shops.  Burrendong Arboretum Open Day will feature guest ceramic artists and a photography workshop along with beautiful ﬂoral blooms.  Wellington Caves will have a range of giftware, Caves tours, the Bottle House and the beautiful Japanese Gardens.  Bakers Swamp features some famous artists whose studios can be reached by getting off the beaten track.  Dubbo’s artistic presence will include art in all styles, sizes and themes.

any of the 20 plus pop-up shops or local business houses that have been invited to participate. “We are encouraging people to eat at the local cafes and explore the little towns. There is plenty of time to explore the area over the two days.”

Cadonia corner upgrade greatly welcomed BY NATALIE LEWIS WITH renewable energy developments going ahead in the area, Wellington landholder Pip Smith has welcomed plans to upgrade the Goolma and Twelve Mile road intersection. As a long-term local resident, Mrs Smith had previously expressed her concerns about the junction, describing it as a ‘very, very dangerous’ road where many accidents had occurred, including fatalities. However, discussions with Dubbo Regional Council and Transport for NSW had been fruitful and Mrs Smith said the Cadonia corner would not only be fixed, but completely realigned to meet the needs of local and commercial traffic. “It’s been an ongoing thing for 30 years but because of the angle of the road, it always becomes too hard and nothing gets done,” she said.

port for NSW and DRC) did not support the proposed upgrade of the existing intersection. Both authorities cited road safety concerns and requested the intersection be repositioned at an alternative location approximately 400m north, to a location on the top of a hill on Goolma Road. This will result in a minor realignment of the western end of Twelve Mile Road into the currently gazetted council road reserve. CWP told stakeholders that modifications to Goolma Road will include smoothing out the current dip and crest through a combination of cut and fill work. The revised intersection design provides for turning and deceleration lanes, which (combined with superior sight distances) should improve the road safety for road users of Goolma and Twelve Mile Road. The intersection upgrade will be completed at the commencement of construction of the project.

Silo art designs drawn By NATALIE LEWIS A PLAN for silo art in Wellington is finally underway. Local business owner Michael White has been a key driver of the project for some time and recently organised mock-up artwork depicting how the silos would appear once painted. “We wanted a visual image of what the silos could look like. I needed something to show people,” he said. Designs include Wellington members of the Light Horse Brigade; local icons such as Mt Arthur, a diprotodon and Sooty the steam engine along with homage to Wiradjuri country.

Dubbo Regional Council is also a strong supporter of silo art for Wellington. Councillor Dayne Gumley has previously raised the idea of funding silo art across the Local Government Area. Council was in strong support of the motion and requested that grant funding be sought to undertake silo art across the region.

Thomas tells: How I f...ouled up By JOHN RYAN THOMAS Mitchell’s first visit to Dubbo many years ago was a disaster. He came up this way to visit his then girlfriend’s grandparents on their Collie property, after she said their farm was her favourite place in the world. “Her grandparents meant everything to her,” Thomas told Dubbo Photo News. “I’d never been to Dubbo. I’m a city boy, didn’t have my driver’s license, didn’t know anything about the land. “On the way out there she was giving me a real spiel about her grandparents, like don’t shower for too long, there’s water restrictions, don’t leave the fridge open for too long ‘cause Grandad gets angry and just as we pulled into the property, she’s like, “Whatever you do, don’t agree to drive anywhere with Grandad!” The visit was going well until on the second day, Grandad asked Thomas to accompany him on a drive into town to drop a coolroom off. The problems began when they stopped at a machinery shed on the way back to the farm house to look at a tractor. “When we were looking at the tractor he said he had to take it back to the workshop to fix it and he asked me to drive his ute back. “Before I could say anything he’s taken off and I was in the middle of a paddock with a manual ute with no idea how to start it – I actually pulled out my phone to find a YouTube tutorial on how to start it and there was no mobile reception. “Her Grandad (Ian) was about a kilometre watching me from the tractor and he drove back down

and said, “What are you doing mate?” and I was like, “Ian, I actually can’t drive. I don’t know how to drive at all!” and he was like, “Are you serious?” He’d obviously been driving from when he was six months old and he was yelling at me how to start it and I managed to get it started, miraculously, and he’s told me to just park it outside the workshop.” Thomas drove the ute back to the workshop near the farm house

and decided he’d really win Grandad over by parking the ute inside the shed, a move that turned out to be a grave tactical and strategic error. “The ute went through the back wall of his shed. The entire garage came down around me. This old drill, like a family heirloom, fell on to the bonnet and cracked in half. A massive barrel of oil rolled off a shelf and landed on the ground and spilled everywhere,”

he recalled. “Just when I thought the comedy of errors had come to a close, all the commotion had stirred up an old wasps’ nest so when I got out of the ute I got stung in the neck by a wasp. “Ian pulled up on his tractor and I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. He took his Akubra off, chucked it on the ground, stomped on it, walked up to me and said “You absolutely useless *beep* of a man!”. While the event was traumatic for Thomas, it gradually became a story he retold often and the more he recounted it, the more he started to realise how much people seemed to enjoy the tale. “I think stuffing up is one of those uniquely shared human experiences because everyone has had a bad day at some point in time. (If) you’ve had a bad day and talk to someone else who’s had a bad day, it makes it all hurt a little bit less. It’s fun to find that shared experience.” When COVID hit, Thomas was working as a freelance writer and producer and an old boss of his had recently started work at a publishing company. She knew a lot of Thomas’ work had fallen over and the whole world was changing and contracting and everyone was feeling pretty down. She believed people needed a laugh so asked him if he had any ideas for a book. “I’d been working for her when this story actually happened and I said what about a book about people’s worst days and it kind of went from there. I had a few stories, and then I just put the word out, went out and interviewed people and came up with this col-

lection of 10 worst day disasters,” he explains. “I guess the point is, we can always use a laugh and it’s a reminder that no matter how bad (things are) going for you, it could always be going way, way worse so that’s kind of where the book came from.” Incredibly, the girlfriend is now the wife. “Yes, we were married last year. I actually proposed on the farm (not in the garage) and sadly, we were meant to get married in Dubbo in September but because of COVID we had to reschedule so we ended up getting married in the Hunter Valley,” he said. “But yeah, it was all meant to happen in Dubbo. I can’t stop stuffing up but that story has now become one of those family folklore tales.” Dubbo Photo News went along to the book launch in Dubbo and caught up with “Grandad” Ian O’Connor, now the grandfather-in-law. He said he’s glad he didn’t get Thomas to drive his giant Steiger Bearcat 225 four-wheel-drive tractor instead of his ute. “I was in the Steiger, he was in the ute and he couldn’t even put it into gear – if I’d put him in the Steiger I wouldn’t have had a roof over my head,” Mr O’Connor said, explaining that the incident, while traumatic at the time, had no lasting impact. “It was all left out in the garage that day. We got it over with, nothing serious happened and it ended up not doing that much damage at all to the ute. It was a funny setup; we settled it all on the day and there were no punches thrown.”

How Wes built the Maas empire By LYDIA PEDRANA Dad and the boys: Wes Maas (front left) with his younger brothers, Ryan (middle) and Shawn (front right), and father Serv.

YOU may know his name, but you may not know Wes Maas’ story and how he turned his Dubbo-based construction group into an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed company today worth approx. $900 million. Reporter Lydia Pedrana spoke to the humble, hard-working CEO of Maas Group Holdings to reveal how the entrepreneur used the skills he learned on the footy field to build a multi-million dollar diversified industrial group.

PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

Early Life & Moving to Dubbo BORN in Camden and growing up in Campbelltown, a young Wes Maas and his two little brothers were just like any other kids in Sydney’s south west. While the boys attended Kentlyn Public School and played rugby league for the Campbelltown City Kangaroos, Mum, Chris, was a retail worker and Dad, Serv, was a fireman in the city. That was until 1991 when Mr Maas’ parents decided to make the move the Dubbo to give the family a better life. “We were very nervous about the move out of Sydney, away from family and friends,” Mr Maas recalls. “A new school with new surroundings and no extended family.” But it wasn’t long until the Maas family settled into country life. The three boys attended St John’s Primary School and Wes continued to follow his love for rugby league playing for the South Dubbo Tigers.

The Footy Field, The Injury and The New Career SHOWING promise on the footy field, Mr Maas admits he had always “dreamed of being an NRL star” as a kid. In 1995 at 15 years old, his dreams came true and the boy from Dubbo signed with the Parramatta Eels for 4 years. He went on to complete his schooling at St John’s College before moving to Sydney in late 1997 as a 17-year-old and played for the Parramatta Eels in 1998 and 1999, followed by the West Tigers in 2000 and 2001, and the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2002. Despite living out his dreams as a professional league player, there was something different about Maas compared to his teammates. Rather than throwing all his eggs in one basket, the self-confessed “workaholic” was one of the few players who jumped straight in the car after training and drove to a second job. “I always worked whilst playing footy,” he said. “Initially I was a green keeper at Parramatta Stadium and Stadium Australia, later I went on to work for Coates Hire. “It was in my Coates Hire job that I learnt about the hire game and return on asset.” And as it turns out, it was lucky Mr Maas kept his ‘day job’. A career ending shoulder injury

They are also heavily involved with Give Me 5 For Kids, Make A Wish Foundation, Dubbo and District Group 11 Junior Rugby League and Dubbo and District Junior Cricket. But with great success and exposure comes haters, and in the past, the Maas Group has been caught up in the vicious cycle of Dubbo’s rumour mill. Asked whether such gossip ever gets to him and how he deals with it, Mr Maas was quick to shut questioning down. “I don’t read into any of this,” he responded frankly. Instead, his energy is focused on growing and continuing to build his already booming business. How? “Through driving our strategic business plan and delivering on our goals.”

The Float cut his NRL dreams short when he was just 22 years old, but according to Mr Maas himself, he wasn’t good enough to make it as a top tier, fulltime footballer anyway.

The Rise, Reputation & Culture of Maas FOLLOWING a shoulder reconstruction, Mr Maas returned to his family and friends in Dubbo with a new passion: business. The foundations of Maas Group Holdings all began in 2002 when a 22-year-old Mr Maas used all his savings to buy a single bobcat and tipper truck. Drawing on his experience from Coates and relying on the contacts of his brothers, who were both qualified tradies by now, he started doing odd jobs on building sites around town. Nineteen years on, he has built the company into a nationally recognised plant hire operation with more than 700 pieces of machinery, around 700 staff and nine quarries across the state. The company covers bulk earthworks, civil construction, quarry business, contract hire and has its

own residential and commercial property division. In 2019, they teamed up with EMS Group on a joint venture to open a mechanical and electrical equipment manufacturing plant in Vietnam, called VMS Global Mining Partners. Some of the major infrastructure projects Maas Group has worked on include Westconnex, Cotter Dam in Canberra, Gold Coast Sewerage Treatment Plant, Wellington to Wollar powerline, Snowy Hydro, Brisbane Cross River Rail, Fletchers Rail Siding and numerous Pacific Highway developments, to name a few. While he can’t single out a favourite project, he said building his team is the thing he is most proud of and he credits his footy years for helping him do this successfully. “I enjoy building things, building teams and building the business,” Mr Maas said. “I used my sport background to build my team, always filling the spots where I was weak.” And proof of good workplace culture is in the pudding; there are more than 40 current employ-

ees who have been with the company for more than a decade. Mr Maas puts this down to having a strong group of core leaders and solid business standards. “Our values are trust, teamwork, commitment to customers, ownership, leadership and candour,” he said. “We promote our values amongst our new staff.” Mr Maas also cites the company’s apprenticeship program, where they bring on 14 new starters each year, as a business masterstroke. “This has been another secret to our success, developing our own,” he shared. “Some of our best people have come up through the ranks. “It is part of having a long-term plan.” Business aside, the group is also deeply involved in community and arguably one of Dubbo’s biggest supporters of local sporting and charity bodies. Maas is currently the major sponsor of the Titan Macquarie Mud Run, Dubbo Derby Day, the Clontarf Foundation and Taronga Western Plains Zoo.

ON December 4, 2020, something Mr Maas had spoken about for a decade became official. Maas Group Holdings was a publicly listed company. “I have talked about listing for nearly 10 years, but the real opportunity became a reality approximately two years ago when we met with a few investment banks,” he said. “The process was a huge undertaking, probably the most challenging of my career to date. “We worked on the IPO listing for two years – we would of listed six months earlier had it not been for COVID.” According to the Financial Review, Mr Maas pocketed $52 million after dropping his 77.4 per cent holding to 55.6 per cent. Based on the group’s $2 issue price, his equity stake was worth a whopping $294.6 million. The share price has now risen to around $3.30 at time of writing Now with an estimated personal net worth of over $538 million, Mr Maas also earnt himself a debut onto the Financial Review’s 2020 Young Rich List. Admitting that having his financials as public information is one of the downsides to being on the ASX, Mr Maas understands he “can’t have the pros without the cons”. And focussing on the pros he is. “Being listed on the ASX is no different regarding day to day it just opens up more opportunities that were otherwise out of reach when we were private.”

The C Word Shock & Aftermath

DESPITE their strong foundations, not even the Maas Group was immune to the initial impacts of COVID-19. Not only did the pandemic stall the listing of the company, but they were forced to put several staff on hold for a short period of time. “Like everyone we had the initial shock of the shutdown, then once the world worked out that life had to go on, we all went back to work,” Mr Maas explained. “We certainly had a little pause; we have been restricted with our overseas operations and the interstate border closures have also

posed a few challenges but all in all we have been lucky.” Now, the group is reaping the rewards of the so-called construction boom where all levels of government are spending big on infrastructure investment to help stimulate the economy. “We are well set to take advantage of the increased infrastructure spend across the country, we have a very strong offering and are well positioned geographically to take advantage of the opportunities as they present,” Mr Maas said. “Home Builder has certainly been a positive but the regional centres where we currently operate are strong with job growth and low unemployment which

encourages population growth, I think this is the real positive for the area.”

The Future of Dubbo Through His Eyes EVEN more positive for the area is Mr Maas’ strong vision – he hopes to see it become NSW’s leading regional centre. As a staunch ambassador and supporter of the area, he has consistently worked hard to spruik the benefits of regional life. “Dubbo is a great regional city with so many opportunities for everyone,” he said. “I think in the coming years the city would prosper from growth in our university and also the addition of a few strong boarding 22-year-old Wes in his single bobcat back in 2002

schools. “The regional airport is great and really opens up the city to many opportunities.” Aware of the stiff competition posed by other regional towns like Orange, Bathurst, Wagga and Tamworth, Mr Maas philosophy is fairly simple. “We need to look over our shoulder and see what they are doing well, and we need to do it better.” On a personal note, Mr Maas, a husband and a father of four kids couldn’t think of a better place to live and raise a family. “Today we love the Dubbo community and there are many opportunities for our kids, both with sport and future employment,” he said. “Dubbo is very well connected with great affordability; the city is a 10-minute city which allows everyone more time.” He was quick to answer “no,” when asked whether he could see himself living anywhere else.

the desire for a more fulfilled life called. “Making the move to Dubbo was very tough,” Mr Maas said. “But I wanted to give my family a better opportunity and get out of the rat race of Sydney.” A firie by trade, Mr Maas was also handy around the tools and he single-handedly built the family home when they arrived in Dubbo. Despite the pressures of moving to a new city, it wasn’t long before the family settled in with

Mr and Mrs Maas finding fulltime employment and the kids settling into school. Reflecting on his decision to relocate his life and family, Mr Maas has “absolutely no regrets”. “I love the community feel, the freedom and the space that Dubbo offers,” he said. Having supported all three of his boys on their life endeavours, Mr and Mrs Maas are “very proud of Wes and his two brothers and their families. “They have all done very well.”

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Time flies for Dubbo’s Tradies In Sight The Editor, I can’t believe it has been three years since my wife and I decided to launch into what has become a life-changing decision that would see our world turned in major ways. Upon reflection this decision meant our family has had to adapt to a few new challenges, changes in work direction and family dynamics. My kids have even had to learn and master a few new skills as well and you can guess it, the art of cooking my traditional ‘Umu (underground oven) and pig on the spit roasts. They caught on quickly that to make a difference you have to be vulnerable to connect and build community through the means and resources available to you. We have served over five thousand meals through our affiliation with hardware stores, TAFE campuses and trade businesses. Three years isn’t a long time to achieve much, particularly if you are bringing change that would challenge vulnerability in blokes. You know that, like cooking a pig on the spit, it will be a slow and drawn out process. And that’s okay because naturally they take time, but the benefits would be absolutely huge. Although it has been a challenging process, I take great joy in the small changes we have been able to witness. It’s like we now have a new normal. I have seen blokes being vulnerable like it was always okay openly express your emotions. In a society that despises men crying, we are making small steps towards changing the statistics.

I have seen men take charge of their own mental health which in turn has produced great outcomes and that’s encouraging to see. The job is far from done, yet but day by day there’s a calm assurance that the barriers and stigma will continue to get broken down and smashed one conversation at a time. Our vision is to holistically care for the mental health and wellbeing of all tradespeople and to help them become confident, healthy, empathetic and capable leaders not only in their family and workplace, but in their community. None of this can be possible without our great volunteers and I would like to honour those who have reached out and offered assistance whether it be financial or voluntary – we would not be here without your gracious support, for that we are eternally grateful. Thank you. The future looks more hopeful by the day and your partnership will continue to stand TIS in good stead moving forward. I also would like to thank my board for their tireless work behind the scenes and for always reminding me of the big picture. I have a special group of men that volunteer to help me design and build various programs for TAFE, schools and other initiatives. Thank you all for your time and effort. Exciting times ahead. Last but not least my wife what can I say she’s always beautiful. I know we are in these unprecedented time, extremely tough times for many. Please know we are here ready to offer support in anyway we can. God bless all. Bruno Efoti, Dubbo Tradies In Sight founder

Synthetic fuel could be the answer to Australia’s energy future

❚ OPINION ELECTRIC vehicles (EVs) are in the news again with the launch of the Federal Opposition’s EV policy at their national conference in contrast with the lack of government policy around the take-up of EVs – again turning our transport future into a political issue rather than a planning issue. The slow take-up of EVs is Australia is putting us at odds with the rest of the developed world. The United Kingdom has just announced it will ban the sale of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) in 2030. The European Union will do the same in 2035. US President Biden has just announced a US$176 Billion programme to support American manufacture of EVs, the installation of 500,000 charging stations, and subsidies for private business and government fleet EV purchases. And over 50 per cent of new cars sold in Norway are EVs due to government subsidies and tax breaks. This legislation put in place in Europe, the UK and US to drive the sale of EVs is pushing car manufacturers to rapidly rethink their

future direction. Jaguar has just announced it will produce EVs only from 2025. Ford will only sell EVs and plug in hybrid cars in Europe from 2026. With no current roadmap to increase EV sales and high prices, it is little wonder we lag well behind the rest of the developed world in working to decarbonise our roads. Two other issues come to mind. Firstly, we are a small population concentrated around the edges of an exceptionally large country, which is a barrier to setting up a charging network, particularly in regional and remote areas. Secondly, an EV does not suit the needs of every Australia user, especially in rural and remote areas. While an EV is ideal for driving in an urban area, commuting to work in a metropolitan area, or local running around on a weekend, what are we in the bush going to do in the future? Also, what about types of transport that are completely unsuitable for battery power such as aircraft and shipping – vital to move goods around the world, and heavy farm vehicles and trucks?

Concerns for Assange The Editor, I am writing to inform you that over the past month, I have sent three letters to every MP and senator in the Australian Parliament regarding the importance of the Government urgently acting to protect Julian Assange who is currently in solitary confinement in Belmarsh Prison, UK. He has been in solitary for two years, since 11 April, 2019 for exposing war crimes. Also, due to misinformation spread during smear campaigns, Assange has had his freedom curtailed and his rights infringed for nearly 11 years now. Despite the fact that credible experts have reported that Julian has been subject to torture, I find it alarming that to date I have received only two letters in response to my three letters to all 226 highly paid parliamentarians/public officials. Otherwise, there has

The answer could lie in synthetic fuel. Several major companies are working on developing synthetic fuel that will power existing ICE vehicles (both petrol and diesel) with a view to both lengthening the life span of ICE vehicles and reducing carbon emissions. Synthetic fuel is produced by splitting the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules, adding the freed hydrogen atoms to carbon (which can be from an industrial by-product or extracted from the air) to produce a synthetic methane which is further refined into petrol or diesel. Initial testing indicates that with no modification an ICE will produce 85 per cent less carbon dioxide emissions when using synthet-

been silence and inaction. Further enquiries today with MP Mark Dreyfus’ (shadow AG) office resulted in confirmation that the Labor party released the attached press release in support of Assange on Jan 5 but, to date, nothing substantive has been done to help Julian. I wish you would take this story up as a matter of urgency. Firstly, because Assange’s life is at stake and secondly because it’s imperative that journalists and citizens protect the right of freedom of expression. This includes the right not to be arbitrarily detained without sensible and tenable due process for doing the work of journalism. In addition to this, importantly, it is about our sovereignty and our rights as Australians. As Assange has effectively been incarcerated for 11 years now due to various false accusations of sexual misconduct and absurd claims of espionage, I feel it would be ap-

ic fuel. In February, the first test flight of a KLM passenger jet took place, between Holland and Spain, using synthetic fuel developed by Shell mixed with aviation fuel, with no modifications needed to the jet engines. At the same time, Porsche and Germany tech giant Siemens announced the construction of a large-scale refinery in Chile to produce synthetic fuel. Why Chile? Because renewable energy via wind turbines will power the energy intensive electrolysis of water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen, thus making the process as green as possible. Australia also has an abundance of sunlight and wind to generate green power. While the requirement for water as the base material for synthetic fuel may be a challenge in our dry continent, we are ` As a country evidently surrounded by ocean.

vessels while at sea is already being tested. So there appears to be a lot of benefits to synthetic fuel. It would provide a meaningful reduction in exhaust pipe emissions immediately, with no engine modifications required, using the existing distribution network, and the manufacturing process could be made as CO2 neutral as possible. In urban environments and major road routes, chargers for EVs would be used, while synthetic fuels would power petrol and diesel vehicles in rural and remote areas, freight hauling and farming. As a country evidently unsuitable for full electrification, this fuel is ideally suited to Australia as part of a mix of transport solutions. In a country with the highest carbon emissions per capita of the developed world, it also seems necessary. What is needed is foresight and non-partisanship from government to steer policy in the right direction. z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

Community coming together NARROMINE’S MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Support Group has spent years helping local people suffering from the disease as well as raising awareness in the district about the debilitating effects of the condition. Billy Everingham was diagnosed with MS in 1982 and has been well supported by his daughter and extended family and he was thrilled to receive a mobility scooter from the group. The group’s members sent us this explanation: “We had the pleasure of making a contribution to a local MS sufferer that we anticipate will not only make his life easier but provide ad-

ditional independence and freedom – we presented Billy Everingham with a mobility scooter, to help make his life and getting around a little easier. The smile says it all! “This is just one example of how the generous support of our local community is allowing us to support and enrich the lives of local MS patients. “The MS Support Group was formed by a group of friends to raise awareness when their friend Nicole Gillette was diagnosed in December 2009. Now the committee, while small, still manages to raise funds for local sufferers and spends the funds locally.

LIKE so many other locals, Vas Roberts has been impacted by the scourge of cancer, so she decided to do something to help via her iris farm outside Narromine. “In August 2019, a dear friend passed away with cancer and his wife made the comment that the Narromine Cancer Support Group was “absolutely wonderful” to both her husband and the whole family while her husband was battling cancer,” Mrs Roberts told Dubbo Photo News. She decided to have a donation box made up so people could donate a gold coin to the Narromine Cancer Support

Group when visiting the Narromine Iris Farm. In the 2019 October flowering season, around $400 was raised. Over the 2020 year and flowering season, the amount grew to $1470.55. Mrs Roberts said she wanted to publicly thank all those people who made donations over the past 14 months. “No matter how small a donation, they do add up and people’s generosity is very much appreciated,” she said. “The Cancer Support Group donation box will remain as a fixture at Narromine Iris Farm and hopefully even more money can be raised in the future for this wonderful group.”

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.

The Nepalese are a rapidly growing diaspora in our city and are making every effort to introduce others from their country to experience the multiple treats of life in the hub of the west. Cyrel and Rumela Dongol have been active in welcoming others to their new home in Dubbo and are organising a sporting treat over the first weekend in May. “The Dubbo Nepalese Christian Fellowship is planning a football match against the Sydney Nepali Church Football Club at the Lady Cutler Ovals on May 2nd. It is an opportunity for fellowship, fun and footy with some old and some new friends,” Cyrel said excitedly. “We Nepalese people love football so this is a common interest and a terrific way to interact and get to know each other. We are really hoping other citizens of this wonderful city will come along and meet us and get to know a bit about our culture.” Cyrel says the venture has attracted some wonderful sponsors including Sainsbury Automotive, Kinmel House Grocery Store, Chautari Grocer, Leek N Style and Dubbo Photo News.

Grace humbled by NSW selection By GEOFF MANN

FOLLOWING her outstanding performances at the NSW Age Championships, Grace Peters was presented with her Blues Bag by Australia’s finest high jumper, Brandon Starc. “Grace called from me from the Narrabeen Athletics Centre. She was so excited! She had a fabulous time with her NSW team, was involved in some high-level training and even got a sneaky pic with Mel G-T,” her coach Sarah Ryan shared with Dubbo Photo News. Grace provided an overview of her few days with some of Australia’s greatest athletes. “I received my State team full uniform and bag, got involved in some team building activities including archery as well as talks on nutrition, recovery and all aspects of high performance. “We also had some great motivational speakers like Youcef Abdi who was a past Olympic steeplechaser as well as current Olympian high jumper Brandon Starc, the brother of cricketer Mitchell. I got to ask him for some advice. He said be consistent with your training routine and focus on improving one thing at a time. “Grace’s takeaway from the day was to keep up the training as anything is possible if she works hard,” Sarah explained.

“Brandon told her he didn’t even make this team!” Grace (shot put, javelin and discus) is one of a number of Dubbo Athletics Club members who have been competing this week at the Australian Track and Field Championships in Sydney along with Ben Batten (Shot put), James Cosier (400m), Alexandria Eves (Para Amb 1500m and Open 800m), Millie Gooch (100m hurdles), Ella Penman (800m, 1500m), Jakob Petterson (400m, 100m, long jump), Maya Piras (100m hurdles) and Lockie Townsend (3000m, 5000m).

Mark, the app-Prentice, was declared winner of the Blues Meats April Monthly Trophy with (+.02) off his time. He backed it up with a strong win in the 50m freestyle which was also closest to time. Judy noted there were 21 swimmers in the water with less than a minute separating the top 10 times in the 25m freestyle. “Not a bad turnout considering the first blast of winter.” Tom Gray.

PARAMOUNT Club President Charles Whiteley described the Paramount Tennis Club’s summer B Grade grand final as one of the closest matches in recent times. “The teams were tied at two sets each and 19 games apiece at the halfway point, and then three sets all with only one game separating them at the final turn. “After a mammoth three and a half hours on court, team Djokovic comprising Charlie Quilty, Zillah Rogers, Sammi Howard and Graeme Wallace won in a tiebreak. It was an absorbing evening of tennis and had players from all grades engrossed,” Charles said. A and C Grades also featured strong finishes according to Mr Whiteley. “In A Grade, Andrew Kierath, Mark Murray, Lyndall Murray and Matt Ward once again played to their potential on the final night of the round robin competition and were crowned deserving winners for their consistently strong displays, while in C grade, Team Hewitt – Dave Johnston, Peter Bass, Michelle Westcott and Matt Hare – remained undefeated. Team Millman consisting of Mark Murray, Ted Murray, Ella Murray and Leisl Gray were worthy runners-up.” Other awards for the C Grade competition went to Natalie Pearce (biggest personality), Brett Scholeffel (most reliable reserve) and Matt Clark (most improved player). Mr Whiteley says players can now sign up for the autumn competition which commences 19 April and runs for 10 weeks (term 2) across Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. “Players interested in playing should visit the club’s website to register and secure their spot, or the club’s Facebook page,” he advised.

NSW title for Western bowlers By GEOFF MANN THE Zone 4 team representing Mid-Western, has won the prestigious 2021 NSW Junior Inter-Zone seven-a-side Championships at Club Dubbo. The local squad claimed their first Championship Shield in five years, a most pleasing result according to Club Dubbo Bowls Manager Anthony Brown. “The Zone team overcame all-comers to inscribe their name on the shield alongside our 2010 and 2016 teams.” The Championship Zone award is calculated on the performances of bowlers in each of the disciplines – Singles, Pairs and Fours. “Our Fours, Tom Ashley (Trangie), Sam Bowman (Coonabarabran), Cooper McMullen

(Dubbo Macquarie) and Tom Rich (Mudgee) won the gold medal after impressing throughout the two-day event,” Anthony explained. “Rhys Hughes (Grenfell) and James Robinson (West Dubbo) took Silver in the Pairs, and Lachie Thompson (Gulgong) finished a creditable sixth in the Singles.” Anthony was also excited with the performances of the second Zone 4 team which finished 11th overall. “An excellent result considering the youthfulness of the side.’ Bowls NSW officials praised Club Dubbo which “proved, once again, to be magnificent hosts of the championships.” The NSW Junior Sevens will return to Club Dubbo in 2022.

TIME WARP

Old school cricket CYMS were a dominant team in the late 1950s and early '60s and it was no surprise when you look at their line-up in the team that downed Colts to take the Whitney Cup. Colts batted first and after being 5/50 recovered to make 178. Bob Stroud (61) and Harley Braithwaite (60) added 106 in the face of a fierce attack led by Doug Stroud (4/54) and Warren Ryan (5/64).

When play resumed the following weekend, CYMS captain Alan Nilon led the green caps to a seven wicket victory. Nilon was 62 not out when they passed Colts with all-rounder John Whealy also unbeaten on 28. Doug Stroud topped off a memorable grand final with 37 after brother John had made a stylish 25 at the top of the order.

Buschy Bull back belting balls

• Athletics • Cycling • Bowls +more

By GEOFF MANN THOMAS Busch’s 2020 season started disastrously when the Year 12 striker twisted his knee in the first few minutes of the first match. It finished with a bang as the Bulls downed Macquarie United in the Western Premier League grand final. Tom will be hoping history repeats. His team lost 1-0 to MUFC on Saturday but, as they say, “premierships aren’t won in April”! Check out WPL Round 1 action on Page 50 PHOTO: MEL POCKNALL

NewsLocal Australia shows just how powerful local newspapers are in ±ƋƋų±ÏƋĜĹč ÏƚŸƋŅĵåųŸ ĜĹěŸƋŅųåţ FƋ ĀĹÚŸ× • 72 per cent of readers go in-store seeking what was featured in a sale ad in their local newspaper • 66 per cent go in-store to browse after reading a sale ad in their local newspaper 6. Newspapers are an emotive medium cåƵŸŞ±ŞåųŸ ĜĹāƚåĹÏå ƋĘå ĩĹŅƵĬåÚčå and opinions of Australians. Newspapers have long recognised what society wants and needs to know. Newspapers ±ųå ƋĘå ĀųŸƋ üŅųƚĵ ƋŅ ƴŅĜÏå ƋĘåŸå opinions. So it makes sense to advertise in an authoritative source of news and information. 7. Newspapers are an active medium Unlike TV or radio, newspapers require consumers to be engaged and active in order to consume the content. cåƵŸŞ±Şåų ųå±ÚåųŸ ÚŅĹűƋ ŸƵĜƋÏĘ Ņý during the ad breaks. Research conducted by Lumen comparing the currency of attention across media formats shows that the average print ad is Āƴå ƋĜĵåŸ ĵŅųå likely to get noticed than even the best performing digital ads. Consumers give newspapers their undivided attention and actively consume content.

8. Regular readers have strong spending power According to a report from The Works, regular newspaper readers earn aboveaverage salaries. Regular print readers earn more than the typical Australian. Their average salary is $84,178 pa, which outstrips by $8697 the wage earned by the average non-newspaper reader ($75,481 pa). Advertisers looking to reach the wealthiest shoppers should be in their local newspaper. 9. Newspapers are immediate and timely Short deadlines allow ads to run faster. This makes newspapers a great environment for topical advertising, and perfect for brands that are market sensitive. 10. Flexible medium = unlimited creative possibilities From a tiny space, to multiple ads on a page, to double page spreads, you can create almost any ad you want. + This research has been collated by NewsMediaWorks of which Dubbo Photo News is a member.
