LOCAL HISTORY ENSHRINED By JOHN RYAN WHEN Lest We Forget is intoned every ANZAC Day, Maurice Campbell takes it seriously. His home office is jam-packed with memorabilia, archival documents, soldier diaries dating back to World War I and plenty more. Mr Campbell aim in life is to see local military history, and the sacriﬁces made by people from Dubbo and district, preserved so future generations from this area can commemorate those who served.

DID WE FORGET? Veteran Suicide: Royal Commission a start, but action MUST follow, local veteran urges By JOHN RYAN EARLIER this week Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that the federal government will take the step of recommending to the Governor-General the establishment of a Royal Commission into Defence and Veterans Suicide, following a period of consultation on draft terms of reference, with the relevant com-

munity and state and territory governments. Just days out from ANZAC Day, the news was welcomed by many veterans who have been lobbying the government for years for such an inquiry. Dubbo veteran Jason Scanes, who now lives in Queensland, formed an organisation called Forsaken Fighters to fight for the rights of foreign nationals who worked with Australian military

personnel and who now need protection from the regimes in their nations. Mr Scanes told Dubbo Photo News that, in Australia, the price is still being paid for an incomplete strategy, with ongoing trauma for our veterans and their families and lives being lost. “The announcement is welcome, but for many veterans it comes at an emotional time as

National spotlight on ‘toxic’ workplace DUBBO Regional Council’s so-called toxic workplace culture has come under fire in a revealing story on A Current Affair, broadcast nationally

on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders is supporting the push for an independent investigation into alleged

Crown reserves set for recovery THE impacts of COVID-19 continue to bite around the region, but help is at hand for communities that have been adversely affected by having to close off crown land during the pandemic. The state government has put $1.4 million in grants on the table to support asset and health and safety improvements on crown land reserves, and managers of those facilities are being urged to apply for a share of the funding pool being made available under the Crown Land Manager Recovery Support Program Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders pointed out that crown land covers 42 per cent of the state, with reserves used for a variety of purposes including public open space, parks and campgrounds to hosting community facilities like club halls and showgrounds, as well as supporting businesses.

“I think many will remain sceptical and will be looking closely at the terms of reference to this RC. Most veterans will want to see more than just words, they will expect action now from this government. Time will tell if that happens, and I hope that history is not an indication on this issue.” Mr Scanes said it’s been an emotional week for many veterans as the announcement of the withdrawal from our longest war now has an end date coincided with concerns over processing times for veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs and then the prime minister’s Royal Com-

mission announcement. “Many might be asking if the Prime Minister called the Royal Commision back in December 2019, when Julie-Anne Finney and Labor were calling for one, would we have lost so many (veterans to suicide) since?” Mr Scanes asked. “I know I am asking myself this question, having lost a mate, who I enlisted with 25 years ago, at his own hands back as recent as January (this year). “It is important to remember, our defence force personnel serve the government of the day, they serve all Australians and any attempts to politicise these issues will be judged harshly.”

Meantime, NSW Shadow Minister for Veterans Greg Warren, who grew up and went to school in Dubbo and served in the Australian Army before entering politics, is calling on the Berejiklian government to ensure the Royal Commission into veteran suicide leads to meaningful change for veterans in NSW. Mr Warren said the state government must assist its counterparts in Canberra with all aspects of the Royal Commission, including implementing all the future recommendations. “Far too many Australian veterans have taken their own lives or attempted suicide,” Mr Warren said.

“I am wary that there has been a plethora of inquiries and reports into this matter, yet little has been done to curb this serious issue. “This royal commission must buck that trend and be followed through with immediate action – veterans, their families and their friends need real and positive change.” Support services are available: z Open Arms provides 24-hour free and conﬁdential counselling and support for current and former ADF members and their families 1800 011 046, or through SafeZone on 1800 142 072. z The Defence all-hours Support Line is a conﬁdential telephone and online service for ADF members and their families 1800 628 036.

Spotlight on ‘toxic’ workplace

MORE than 100 vintage cars, all at least 90 years old, will be travelling in and around Dubbo and surrounds for a few days from April 29. It’s part of an Autumn Tour being staged by Dubbo Antique Automobile Club and members are asking Dubbo motorists to be aware that many of these vehicles can only travel at speeds that are slow by today’s standards, and to exercise patience. A convoy of more than 100 beautifully restored vintage vehicles will be a sight to see.

COUNCIL CRISIS

MP: Immediate inquiry needed By NATALIE LEWIS DUBBO MP Dugald Saunders supports the push for an independent investigation into alleged misconduct at Dubbo Regional Council and says the issue is more than just political plotting at work. “There’s been a lot of things alleged,” he said. “This is not just political game playing.” Council met in Committee of the Whole on Monday to further discuss last week’s Mayoral Minute recommending an inquiry into alleged bullying, harassment, threats, intimidation and abuse of power. A confidential report was to be prepared to outline the terms under which the investigation would be conducted.

Mr Saunders said it was beneficial for the matter to be discussed privately before being made public. “Until an investigation is done properly it needs to be kept out of the public eye,” he said. “It needs to be dealt with properly,

that is the point of an independent assessment. “People might suggest it should be done in public but there needs to be some kind of proper proceedings. Everything being discussed in the public eye can lead to problems.

At some point we need to be going forward but it doesn’t need to be for the first time.” Mr Saunders has spoken to Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock about the issues being experienced by Dubbo Re-

gional Council. “She is disappointed that it’s got to this point and is also supportive of an independent investigation.” He also said it’s more than an internal controversy and extends across the local community. “I’ve had quite a few people who have come to me – people who want to tell their stories but won’t tell them for fear of retribution. There’s a lot of fear around that and to get a sense of right being done.” Mr Saunders hopes to see an inquiry begin immediately. “Most people would agree that it’s the way forward,” he said. “We do want things to be done in the right way and it needs to be done as soon as possible.”

DUBBO Regional Council’s socalled toxic workplace culture has come under fire in a revealing story on A Current Affair (ACA) on Tuesday night. Detailing the life and tragic death in 2018 of former employee Mark Finlayson, the national TV show laid bare the treatment experienced by Mr Finlayson in a workplace described as a “dysfunctional office with unrealistic pressures”. Mr Finlayson’s widow Thea spoke candidly to ACA reporter Dimity Clancey, saying that the response he received when he asked for help was to resign. As a valuable staff member and loving family man, it was a blow which made it difficult for him to cope, she said. After her husband’s death, Mrs Finlayson received a Workers’ Compensation payment of nearly $800,000. Dubbo Regional Council’s acting mayor Stephen Lawrence said details of the transaction were not given to councillors. “We didn’t get a lot of information from management about this event. I’m appalled and angry that we were not given this information,” Cr Lawrence said. The news comes in the wake of the scandal currently rocking the organisation, with a majority of councillors stating that alleged bullying, harassment and abuse of power in Council should be independently investigated, and calling for the Mayor Ben Shields to resign. Cr Shields is currently on extended medical leave and has returned as a patient of Dubbo Hospital after previously being transferred to Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred. Fellow councillor John Ryan told ACA that he will not stop until he gets to the bottom of the allegations concerning Council, both in an elected and operational capacity. “There is nothing that is going to diminish my resolve to get to the bottom of this and to shine a spotlight through the organisation.” Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 if in need of emotional support.

Territory ANZAC ROBERT Cole is Dubbo born (1993) and bred – his parents are Stuart and Robyn Cole and he’s an older brother to Emma, Steven and Tom. He was keen to broaden his horizons, leaving Dubbo in May 2018 to join the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He started his military career at 1 Recruit Training Unit (1RTU) and was injured during the course, pushing his original graduation date back a bit. After graduation he was posted to Latchford Barracks, a Victorian army base, where he spent almost two years doing his Initial Trade Training (IETs) as a Ground Support Equipment Technician (GSETECH). He’s now serving at the Northern Territory’s RAAF Base Tindal in the NT, about 20km outside Katherine. Here he speaks to JOHN RYAN about his life growing up in Dubbo and why he chose a career in the air force. ••• Why did you join up? I’m glad I left town because I’m enjoying every day away. Made so many lifelong friendships, learned a lot of new skills both work and lifestyle and I’m being paid to travel Australia at the same time while doing my job. Pretty good gig. Growing up in Dubbo? Schooling year kindergarten, (year) two was at St. Lawrences. Years Three to Six was at St. Johns Primary and then continued at St. John’s College from 7 – 12 where I completed my HSC. From there I did an apprenticeship as a mechanic at Western Plains Automotive and held a second job at Sid’s Bottle Shop. Once the apprenticeship was done I worked at a few other shops around town (Precision Wheel Alignments and T&A Mechanical) all while still holding the job at Sid’s. Once I (was) told I’m good to go and have to wait for the call, I went part time at a T&A Mechanical, casual at Sids still and casual at Gunpro. I was a busy boy once I left school. How much have you enjoyed your career in the military? I’ve enjoyed every day of it so far, apart from PT training sessions where you hate life. But it’s only 45-60 minutes a day so it’s not that long. Some days you wake up and you feel proud to put on that uniform knowing you have

a sense of internal pride that you have achieved either a personal milestone, chased a dream and made it happen or are helping those in the community that you get posted to. I really enjoy it. Tell us about the broad skills you’ve learned, not just for the job but also to equip you in life. At home I was taught the basics on how to cook, iron, clean, polish my school shoes and a few domestics. Joining up just made those skills so much more precise and of a much higher standard. I would get mad and would probably flip my own bed if I saw it back in the day. Some other skills I have learned, which to some people might not be much or could be second nature, is how to navigate through (the) bush with only a compass and a map and no GPS. I learned to pack one bag with two weeks’ worth of clothes, sleeping gear, cooking utensils, personal hygiene etc and then march on all sorts of terrain for kilometres until we get to where we need to be – to ‘camp’ for weeks without going back home, a few combat tips and tricks, how to lead groups of people and help each person get through to the other side, sometimes sit down and get to know them on a personal level to help them with any personal problems to make the group more of a fun place to work in and have a laugh doing tasks. How much has this career helped broaden your horizons? I entered as a light vehicle mechanic. If I was to leave and come back to Civvie Street I will be a heavy vehicle mechanic and can work on various airport vehicles they have in their sheds, do a little bit of refrigeration and electrician stuff as well. But I’m only just starting out in my career. Comradeship in the RAAF – is that something you can explain in words? It’s not only the RAAF where you make friends but across all three services. Doing some time on an army base I have made some really great friends in a different service, both army and navy, who I can call up and say I’m in the area and they will always be the first person to make sure you are sheltered and fed, no matter the hour of the day or night and you gladly repay that favour and mateship. You don’t just make friends you catch up for coffee when you can and have lunch with, you

make friends for life, ones you can turn to for moral and mental support through your own hard times without feeling bad or ashamed to speak up about your personal problems. The beauty of that is that the same friends will take you out to the pub and sink a few beers with you, go hunting or camping, give you their spare room or couch and cook for you and go do fun things with and go on holidays together. You make the best kind of friendships you can ever find. Because it is such a big organisation you make friends with so many people across all sorts of nationalities and cultures. My best friend, his family originated from Poland before moving to Australia. The 100 years of the RAAF – how proud does it make you feel to be carrying on the tradition of those who came before you? I look back and see how things have changed and from where we were back then to where we are now is a huge change but we wouldn’t be where we are today without the sacrifices that people have made. Some have paid the ultimate price and made that sacrifice for us to have a better future. Those (are) people we will

always be thankful and grateful for. Not only do RAAF, Army and Navy personnel make sacrifices (like being away from kids, missing weddings, and big things, and going on deployments for months on end) it’s also the families and the other half that we need to thank because without their support and understanding, it would be a hard place to be. But I’m proud to say I’m a part of the RAAF and I can’t see myself doing any other job. I just hope I live up to the wider community (expectations) and make them proud. What’s your advice to other Dubbo locals who have considered a military career? If you are thinking about joining, DO IT. Don’t think about it, just do it. Work hard, get into shape to pass the little physical test and get in. You’ll become a better version of yourself in the end. You won’t see it but it happens in the end, trust me. You won’t regret it. If you’re unsure about some things, get in touch with me with any questions you have and I can answer what I can for you to point you in the right direction. Honestly, it will be the best thing you can do.

Rates calculator should help clear confusion THE words “rates” and “harmony” don’t usually go together for Dubbo residents, but a new calculator tool will help ratepayers work out exactly what they’ll be paying when a new system comes into place later in the year. Rates Harmonisation is set to come into play from July 1, as required by the NSW government, which will help ensure residents are paying fair and equitable rates for properties across four categories: farmland, residential, mining and business. To help people understand the harmonization process, which Dubbo Regional Council acknowledges “can be very confusing”, the new calculator tool will make it easy to understand how each resident will be affected. Council will also be conducting a question and answer session over coming weeks and a letter has been sent to ratepayers. An explanatory flyer will also be included in the next round of rates notices. If residents have any questions, they can contact council on 6801 4000, or visit dubbo.nsw.gov.au/ rates.

April 22-28, 2021 Dubbo Photo News Flu warning shot fired: don’t forget the other jab

Stuart Town digger commemorated By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

PRIVATE Thomas Cohen was a soldier from Stuart Town who was born in Mookerawa, and sadly died in 1918 during WWI in France. Until late 2020, he was buried as an unidentified soldier, at a gravesite at Templeux-leGuérard British Cemetery. Private Cohen married Mary Lee Cohen in 1908 and subsequently, their daughter Lilian was born. Private Cohen was a fitter’s assistant, and worked hard to provide for his family. By 1916, Private Cohen and his family had moved from Mookerawa to Stuart Town

where he enlisted in March 1916, assigned to the 2nd Battalion. After a few months of training in Australia, Private Cohen began the long journey to France in August 1916, sailing on the HMAT Wiltshire. More than two years after he enlisted Private Cohen’s unit was engaged in fighting around Mont St Quentin. Private Cohen was alongside soldiers in the Last Hundred Days, the final major period of hostilities involving allied troops on France’s Western Front. On September 18, 1918, Private Thomas Cohen was killed in action less than two months before guns fell silent

with the declaration of armistice which ended the Great War. He was 37. After more than 100 years, Private Cohen’s family now has closure after his unmarked grave was identified in 2020. A commemoration service for Private Cohen was held at Stuart Town’s Memorial Gates on April 17, 2021 where a bronze plaque was erected and unveiled in his memory. The event was organised by the Stuart Town ANZAC Committee, and supported by Dubbo Regional Council. To this day, Private Cohen’s family remains in the area and family members were in attendance at the ceremony.

WHILE we’ve all had our attention focussed on Covid vaccinations, Dubbo residents are being urged not to forget that OTHER important jab: the flu shot. The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) is urging us all to remember that the ‘flu vaccination is as important as ever, and it’s vital that we not overlook it while we’re all thinking so much about the Coronavirus jab. Now that things are beginning to return to a semblance of normality, we are starting to see a resurgence of the usual colds, viruses and flus that circulate in the community. RDAA is reassuring rural and remote Australians that their COVID vaccine is on the way but remember that the two vaccinations can’t be given at the same time – there needs to be a two-week gap – so if you’re not eligible for the Covid jab just yet, now’s the perfect time to get that ‘flu shot done. See your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Dubbo navy connection By JOHN RYAN TAHLIA Boneham is proud of the service she rendered for Australia after leaving Dubbo to join the Royal Australian Navy 16 years ago. “I joined the Navy in 2005 and have been posted to bases in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

“My favourite posting was on the patrol boats in Darwin undertaking border protection.” Tahlia reached the rank of Leading Seaman Maritime Logistics Chef (LSML-C) and was awarded the Australian Defence Medal and Australian Operational Service Medal – Border Protection. “I discharged in 2016

and am a standby reservist. I moved back home to Dubbo to be closer to my family and am currently working for the NSW Government,” she said. Thank you for your service, Tahlia. Dubbo’s Tahlia Boneham spent 11 years in the navy before returning to her hometown. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Handing over the ﬁshing rod By JOHN RYAN AFTER 12 years at the helm of Inland Waterways, co-founder Matt Hansen has stepped aside as president to free up some time for family. Mr Hansen made the decision early last week to hand over the reins but with the enthusiastic committee wanting to push on with its annual Burrendong Classic, he agreed to continue in his PR role for that event. “It’s been a great ride – nine Burrendong Easter Fishing Classics, heaps of new cars, camper trailers and Engel fridges given away, hundreds of thousands of fingerlings stocked, fish rescued in drought alongside great mates, and hundreds of snags and homes for native fish put in the river,” Mr Hansen told Dubbo Photo News. “Fishways have been fought for, and illegal fishers and netters fought with, GPTs (Gross Pollutant Traps) and river rubbish clean ups, a River Repair Bus born that has just been replicated down in Mildura, 570-odd editions of the local Dubbo Catches fishing column, and stacks of other river health projects. “I’ll keep on representing our region and all NSW recreational fishers on the NSW fisheries councils, but our little boys are growing up in front of my eyes and it’s time to clear the plate a bit and have a family focus while our kids are still kids.” Mr Hansen said it’s great news

that the committee has elected to run the 10th annual Lake Burrendong Easter Fishing Classic next year and thanked everyone for their support over more than a decade which has seen the importance of fish habitat and local rivers pushed into the spotlight thanks to the committee’s efforts. “Congratulations to Wayne Gilbert who stepped into the president’s role. With Mick O’Neill staying on as vice-president and Jared Hocking as treasurer. “I wish the ongoing volunteer committee, all the incredibly generous sponsors, and everyone from the Classic family all the very best for the future.”

Inland Waterways’ founders Matt Hansen and Mick O’Neill were presented with giant framed Murray Cod by committee members.

Dubbo Drug Court a must

WESTERN NSW Community Legal Centre (WNSWCLC) has backed calls for the immediate expansion of the Drug Court to Dubbo following a damning assessment of the NSW Government’s response to First Nations deaths in custody. The Dubbo-based centre contributed to the NSW parliamentary report which concluded the state government had failed to stem the tide of incarceration and disadvantage, describing it as “nothing short of a tragedy, and a gross injustice for First Nations people and the entire New South Wales community”. WNSWCLC solicitor Hannah Robinson said that 30 years on from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody the inquiry revealed that “nothing has changed”. “We have seen inquiry after inquiry and nothing has changed,” Ms Robinson said. “The NSW Government must act now to show its commitment to our First Nations communities.” WNSWCLC and its specialist Domestic Violence Unit – Western Women’s Legal Support – gave evidence to the inquiry in October last year. While the centre welcomed the report’s 39 recommendations, Ms Robinson said more action was needed.

Grace by name and nature By JOHN RYAN THE family of well-known former local businesswoman and longtime community volunteer, Grace Aubusson were saddened by her sudden passing on Thursday, April 15. Mrs Aubusson, 83, was regarded for her integrity by many in the agricultural sector across the region while running Aubusson Bearing Centre Dubbo since 1974 with her late husband Pat, then his passing in 1988, for 20 years with the support of son Andrew. She also opened a branch in Cobar to service the mining sector. Mrs Aubusson’s contribution to the business community was recognised in 2006 by the DubON top of being a successful businesswoman in a male dominated industry, Grace Aubusson has always found time for her family and for her commitment to service clubs and fundraising. “Those who say it can’t be done should get out of the way of those doing it”. Perhaps these philosophical words on a fridge magnet in Grace Aubusson’s kitchen are the key to how a woman has managed to juggle a successful career, raise two children, and still find the time for fundraising and community involvement. Despite a career spanning nearly 40 years in the male-dominated spare parts and bearing industry, Grace lives up to her name flawlessly. She is a genuine warm-hearted person, with an optimism that is infectious to all around her. But like many praiseworthy people in our community, Grace is modest about her achievements.

Mrs Aubusson was a member of Inner Wheel for more than 40 years and one of the Dubbo club’s founding members. She was a member of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie.

Eighteen years ago the first edition of Dubbo City News was printed for distribution on Thursday, July 17, 2003.

In light of Grace’s passing last week, we’re reprinting that article in this week’s edition of Dubbo Photo News. Yvette. “She is an iron-woman, very strong – but definitely a lady, always a lady. Always helping other people, be it Meals on Wheels, or through the service clubs.” Grace and her husband Pat Aubusson opened Aubusson Bearing Centre in 1973. However, after her husband passed away in 1988, Grace continued operating the business, selling bearings and seals for “anything that moves”. Although Managing Director of the business, Grace rolls up her sleeves and gets involved in all aspects of the business, from serving on the counter, organising accounts, and even taking all-hours calls from distressed people with breakdowns. “You have to offer this service – people don’t always break down during the 9-5 working day. Besides, if you don’t help someone in trouble, there is something wrong with you – and people only ring

out of hours when they are really in trouble” said Grace. Grace has lived in Dubbo since 1965, when she moved from Narrandera with her husband and young son Andrew (known to most as AJ). AJ is now a director of Aubusson’s. Not long after coming to Dubbo, Grace worked at the “Post Office Garage”, a Mercedes Benz office that sold spare parts – which worked out to be good training for what was ahead for her. Grace works long hours, guiding her business through its ups and downs. As a response to business growth, particularly in the mining sector, Aubusson’s opened a store in Cobar in the early 1990s. The business now employs seven staff in Dubbo and a further two in Cobar. However, like many local businesses, the drought has had an effect.

THE valuable contribution of seniors to the strength of our community is always cause for celebration, but Dubbo Regional Council marked this year’s NSW Seniors Week with a special “thank you”. Senior residents in Dubbo and Wellington were treated to a number of celebratory events, with the theme “In our nature” being particularly poignant this year for its recognition of the resilience and spirit older residents add to our communities. Acting Mayor Stephen Lawrence paid special tribute, saying that in “almost any community group you will find our seniors representing and volunteering to make our community a better place to live, work and play”. A number of free events were hosted by council across both Dubbo and Wellington, with hundreds of local seniors taking part. Council provided packs including information from a variety of local services and organisations to help seniors live safely, independently, creatively, active and well.

Clean water: New plant drives town to drink NARROMINE residents have two million more reasons to give thanks for a secure water supply, with a new treatment plant now operating in the town. A grant from the state government has flowed into Narromine Shire Council’s coffers for the plant which will help protect the town’s water supply against future drought events as well as significantly improve the quality of treated water. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders and Narromine Shire Mayor Craig Davies invited Water Minister Melinda Pavey to join them in inspecting the new treatment plant and said that the recent devastating drought forced the town into severe water restrictions. “Water in the deeper bores wasn’t suitable for drinking without treatment,” Mr Saunders said. “This innovative new water treatment plant system uses ozone instead of chlorine to treat the deep bore water, making it cleaner and greener. “It also uses a filter press for the wastewater which replaces the need for large on-site lagoons to hold and dry the impurities removed from the water. This has significantly reduced the plant’s footprint. For the first time since 2018 water restrictions have been lifted in the town.” Ms Pavey echoed her colleague’s praise for the benefits of the plant but added a warning note: “While the recent rains have boosted local water supply across regional NSW, now is not the time to be complacent. We need to use the precious gift of time these rain events have given us to prepare and plan for the future, building the infrastructure and systems required to future-proof regional communities against drought.” The new treatment plant can filter up to 2.5 megalitres per day of untreated water from deep bore wells to a standard suitable for the town’s water supply.

LOCAL HOSPITALITY

Priority service, international ﬂavour By JOHN RYAN

AOM Khantrikrom has spent the past four years in Dubbo after moving from Thailand, initially working at Dubbo’s Rose Garden Thai Restaurant prior to joining the Lotus Café staff. “I have family here. Dubbo’s a lovely town, a beautiful town. It was very different living in Thailand, we have different food, different people, it’s different from here,” she told Dubbo Photo News and said providing the best customer service possible is in her blood. “I grew up in the country but I had my job in the city. I worked in hotels and restaurants. I like hospitality, it’s what I enjoy and maybe in the future I’d like to have my own business. “I love to do coffee (and) serve cakes. I’m so happy at work. Most of our customers are really lovely and that makes

me happy working here. I enjoy the interaction.” The 32-year-old says when she puts so much time and effort into making a cup of coffee “just right”, she appreciates it when she gets positive reactions from her clients. “I’m so happy when I can make them happy. “I don’t know why I enjoy providing good customer service so much. I just like helping them and making them happy – that gives me satisfaction and it makes me love my job. When I can give (customers) what they want, I’m happy.” Aom is also full of praise for her boss and says the importance of a cheerful disposition and ability to have a yarn with customers is something she’s learnt firsthand at Lotus. “Linh is gorgeous, she’s beautiful. A lot of people come to Lotus because of her and I’ve learnt so much from her.” Aom Khantrikrom says she’s driven by providing the best quality food and coffee possible. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Laying down the law: Hard work worth it for fledgling lawyer By JEN COWLEY THERE was never any question as to whether Andy Leathem would choose to launch his career in the bush. The Mudgee born-and-bred fledgling lawyer heard but didn’t heed the siren call of bright lights, big city that lures so many to the big smoke, landing instead in Dubbo in the capable hands of local firm Duffy Elliot Lawyers. With a double degree in business and law from the University of New England in Armidale, Andy has spent the past year working three days a week at Duffy Elliot while studying remotely, and says while it’s been a long fiveyear haul to the finish line, he couldn’t be happier. “I finished my studies in December last year, and then signed up to do what’s called PLT, or Practical Legal Training. That can only be done through certain universities or you go through what’s called the College of Law, which is what I did full time so I’ve just finished that.” Andy explains there is also a requirement that a candidate for the legal profession also needs to undertake 75 days of work experience followed by a module of continued professional development. “And then that all gives you your GDLP (Graduate Diploma of Legal

Practice) which is essentially your practicing certificate.” It’s exhausting just hearing him list the requirements for what is clearly a quite rigorous and robust process and Andy agrees with the comment that the public can be assured that these qualifications aren’t just handed out. If you are able to be admitted into the legal fraternity in this state, you’ve clearly done the hard yards. That’s true of Andy, whose path to a career in the law was accidental. “When I was at school, I wanted to be a physiotherapist but physics wasn’t my strong suit, so I dropped it in favour of legal studies simply because it was on at the right time in the timetable,” he laughs, but says he found he was good at it, and enjoyed the class. “And here I am. I’m very happy I made that switch.” Andy says he’s fascinated by the process of the law and by being able to understand and apply it. “There’s an intellectual reward in knowing how laws work, but there’s also satisfaction in being able to apply that knowledge to helping people. “The greatest challenge so far is honing that eye for detail that’s so essential. That’s all part of the learning experience, and it’s so important because everything needs to be perfect when it comes to the law – all the i’s

dotted and t’s crossed.” At this point in his fledgling career, Andy is “taste testing” all the different aspects of the law, and says a general overview of everything will be helpful. “I think a bush lawyer needs to have a good general knowledge of the law.” As much as he’s enjoying his first career steps, Andy is keen to debunk at least one myth. “People think being a lawyer is glamorous – not so. It’s not like (the television show) Suits. “It’s like anything else – you just have to put the time in. There’s a lot of reading and some of it is very mundane, even though it’s important.” Andy believes that the foundation of a good career in the law is to have good mentors, and says he’s been “very fortunate”. “I wouldn’t have learned nearly as much as I have without such great guidance from the experienced hands here. That’s one of the benefits of working in a country firm. “You get to see everyone regularly and have that hands-on guidance, and you also get to spend more personal time with people rather than just being on the phone. You wouldn’t necessarily get that in the city. “I couldn’t be happier.”

Fledgling legal eagle Andy Leathem says it’s a long haul to becoming a lawyer, but that if you put in the hard yards, the rewards can make it all worth the effort. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/JEN COWLEY

A healthy life is a happy life By NATALIE LEWIS DR Hetal Gohil believes that matters of health are being taken a lot more seriously since the pandemic, and boosting immunity is a key priority. “People have realised how important their immunity is. Especially having a diet that’s filled with immunity boosting nutrients to prevent colds and flus and that are amazing for building immunity.” Dr Gohil is an Ayurvedic doctor, nutritionist, naturopath and herbalist and her aim is to help people become the best version of themselves.

She also assists with hormonal imbalances, fertility, and other conditions and her natural healing methods provide a blend of eastern and western treatment. “I have always been dedicated to natural medicine, lifestyle and products,” she said. Diet and lifestyle have also emerged as a focus in the community in recent years and Dr Gohil confirmed there are dietary changes taking place. “A lot more people are following a ketogenic diet,” she said. “All the processed foods are not healthy and that’s often the reason for illness and

other metabolic conditions.” Dr Gohil also recommends herbal teas to offset colder conditions which can bring on colds and flus. “Bone broth is also a trend; it’s really healthy. It can also be used with vegetables to make into a soup.” According to Dr Gohil, a healthy lifestyle provides more long-term health solutions. “You don’t get sick and you don’t spend lots of money on medical bills. It helps people to stay healthy and happy, mentally and physically. “People are becoming more aware of eating better and that a healthier life is a better life.”

Legacy of commemoration continues By MARK COULTON, PARKES MP

FOR what they have done this we will do – the simple reason all Australians must ensure the legacy of commemoration continues this Anzac Day. Residents will be looking forward to commemorating Anzac Day 2021 in a respectful and meaningful way. The Parkes electorate has a proud history of military service and Anzac Day is an opportunity for us to pay our respects and show our gratitude for the service and sacrifice of all those who have served and provided us with the freedoms we enjoy today. Last year, with the challenges of the coronavirus, we found new and creative ways to honour those who serve and have served – driveway vigils at dawn, private floral tributes, and contacting current and former defence personnel to check in and thank them for their service. This year, I encourage everyone to attend a local service if possible and show your respect for those who have served, subject to local health advice. At its heart, Anzac Day is a time for personal reflection, and there are a number of ways we can commemorate. Other ways Australians can mark Anzac Day: z Tuning in to Watch the

The kitbag is free and includes posters, sample speeches, orders of service, supporting music, crafts cards on how to make Anzac biscuits, poppies or a wreath and a range of supporting social media assets, including social media banner images. With many options available to commemorate this Anzac Day, as a nation we can all proudly carry on the legacy of acknowledging service and sacrifice on Anzac Day in 2021.

YOUR STARS

One year on Dugald Saunders, State Member For Dubbo THIS time a year ago we were faced with an ANZAC Day the likes of which we had never seen before. The COVID-19 pandemic had forced us into our homes, we couldn’t come together to commemorate this special day, and a ‘new normal’ had us unsure of what the future had in store. Fast forward 12 months and, thanks to the great work of people in our communities, we are much closer to the ‘old normal’ and I am extremely happy that we can once again come together to honour those who have sacrificed for our nation. Our region has a strong military history, which I have been highlighting on my website in the lead-up to ANZAC Day. I have thoroughly enjoyed researching the likes of Private Thomas Cohen, who was born at Mookerawa and lived in Stuart Town before enlisting in March 1916 and being assigned to the 2nd Battalion. After a long period of service in France, Cohen’s unit was engaged in fighting in the Mont St Quentin area, and it was here that he was unfortunately killed in action on 18 Septem-

ber 1918, aged 37 years. Then there is the story of the Dowling brothers, Ted and Claude, who were drapers by trade and both fought in Gallipoli and survived. Both men were awarded Military Medals, Ted for his work as a stretcher bearer in Palestine and Claude for his bravery in attending to the wounded under heavy artillery fire at a time when stretcher bearers were unavailable. Sadly, Claude was killed in action in 1917 while Ted returned to Dubbo in June 2019. These are just two of the thousands of stories that ensure ANZAC Day holds a special place in the hearts of us all, and I am excited at the prospect of having our younger generations involved in ANZAC activities again this year. Doing so ensures the ANZAC legacy will live on as we appreciate the sacrifices made so we can enjoy the benefits of living in the best country in the world. Lest We Forget. Dugald Saunders, state member for Dubbo.

CANCER: You’ll be cheered on by a large group of people, both at work and in your community. You’ll stand out from the crowd, and you’ll be surprised to ﬁnd that others put you

You might get closer to your spiritual side; a pilgrimage would be an enriching adventure. The luckiest signs this week: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Strong workforce a must for ag sector

Dubbo supports voluntary assisted dying: survey

WHEN the state government hands down its budget in June, the region’s agricultural sector will be hoping it includes a number of investment strategies aimed at building the sector’s workforce. NSW Farmers says this is key to expanding the sector’s productivity and ultimately gearing it toward a target of $30 billion in output by 2030. The peak body’s president James Jackson said in the immediate term, the major worker shortages threatening fruit and vegetable harvests must be addressed. “Labour shortages resulting from state and international border restrictions have cost the NSW horticulture industry millions, while the loss for the national economy is far higher.” Mr Jackson said a number of long-term strategies are needed to future-proof the agriculture workforce. “Technology and innovation will also bring new work opportunities in agriculture, and it’s important that these are promoted.”

PEOPLE across Dubbo and the region will be among those who, it’s reported, support voluntary assisted dying (VAD) law reform. New analysis of more than 155,000 survey responses reveals that every electorate in the state, including the Dubbo electorate, is in favour of the reform. This includes huge majority support among Coalition voters and those with religious faith, according to Dying with Dignity NSW president Penny Hackett. The legislation for VAD is to be presented to parliament in September, following the release of a draft bill around July. “There is not one electorate in NSW, or the entire country, that doesn’t have majority support for voluntary assisted dying laws. “The data tells us something that most of us already knew – that support for voluntary assisted dying transcends political and religious ideologies.” Only 11 per cent of those surveyed were opposed to VAD.

Snez serenades Dubbo Fringe By JOHN RYAN SNEZ is a singer/songwriter/ storyteller from NSW’s Mid North Coast and is heading to Dubbo to play at the city’s Fringe Festival early next month. She released her new album, Fisher on the Sea, in February and is following up with an Aussie tour for the rest of 2021. “I’m dropping into Dubbo to play at The Fringe Festival. I play solo acoustic guitar, vocals, bouzouki and bodhran, featuring stories of my parents homeland, Macedonia,” Snez told Dubbo Photo News. Fisher on the Sea “delves deep into her centre, delivering her best statement to date”. Snez’s music has been described as “intensely honest and introspective, sometimes plaintive, sometimes fierce, her songs have a way of settling into your heart and making a home, subtly weaving their magic into your soul”. Here’s an insight into some of her songs: The fierce bite of Let it Hurt shatters the conception of traditions, capturing a moment of vulnerability in a relationship. The veil is further stripped away with the bare

bones of Letter to the Moon, a raw encounter into the life of a single mum. Touching on the heritage of her family, Snez takes her audience on the journey from the migration of her parents’ motherland, Macedonia, to the working class, steelworks town of Port Kembla, featuring her mother’s story, Neptunes Daughter, and capturing the steely essence of the

blue collared life with Steelworks Kids. The album was recorded on the Mid North Coast at Soundshed Music and producer Stewart Peters is full of praise. “It’s not quite folk, not quite pop,” Mr Peters said. “What I like about Snez is she’s not trying to be or sound like anyone else, her loyalty lies with the characters in her

stories and making sure their story is told authentically.” Snez will be accompanied on her Dubbo visit by sixyear-old daughter Ellie. Her first show at Dubbo’s Fringe Festival will be at Wesley hall on Thursday, May 6, starting at 7:30pm. Her second gig is in the Jacaranda Room at Dubbo RSL on Friday, May 7, starting at 6pm.

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Vale Peter Cannon PETER CANNON died in hospital this past week after a long illness. A Peak Hill farmer, Peter spent a great deal of time away from his farm work doing all sorts of amazing things for the community, both in the local area and also across the state. He was a driving force behind the founding of the Volunteer Fire Fighters Association (VFFA) and did much to give a voice to oldstyle volunteer bushfire brigade firefighters who believed their local firefighting knowledge was being suppressed by a culture of total control wanted by the bureaucrat firefighters at the Rural Fire Service (RFS) headquarters. On top of this, he was just a great bloke and performed tireless work over decades in his local area. You’ll be sadly missed, Pete.

Wello house fire A HOUSE in Wellington’s Pierce Street caught on fire, the blaze engulfing and destroying the building on April 16. A crew from Wellington’s Fire and Rescue 493 Station arrived on scene around 5:15 to find the building well alight. It’s believed the occupants were out of town and the fire had taken hold before anyone noticed the blaze and alerted Triple 000. No-one was injured in the fire and even though firefighters had heard there was no-one at home, they still had to make sure by sifting through the rubble after the fire had been extinguished. The cause of the fire is still being assessed by investigators. Wellington fire Captain Mark Moroney told Dubbo Photo News that with the weather moving into the colder months, it’s a good time to check many things in their homes to improve fire safety. “People need to ensure they have at least one working smoke detector in their home,” Captain Moroney said. “If you have a wood fire and it hasn’t been used for a while, make sure you clean out the flue and if you’re using a wood heater to dry your clothes, make sure you keep those clothes more than a metre away from the heater. “Check the safety of cords and appliances as well.”

Firie open day WHILE we’re on the subject of the Wello firies, if you’re heading to the local show make sure you visit them on their stand on Saturday, May 8. You can speak to professionals about all aspects of fire safety for your home and property. They know all the strategies to help keep you safe. And Wellington’s 493 Fire Station is on the lookout for on-call firefighters to join Fire and Rescue NSW. It’s a great organisation and a fantastic way to protect and serve the community, so if you’re able to make the commitment, particularly if you’re able to be reliably on-call during weekday business hours, the guys would love to talk to you. Joining a local town brigade is a great way to make mates, learn all about teamwork and pocket a few bucks at the same time.

Corrective Services compo skyrockets WHAT is happening when it comes to Corrections NSW and its workers’ comp claims? NSW Labor this week claimed the premiums the organisation pays to cover workers’ compensation claims have more than doubled in the past two years, with that cost explosion following a sharp spike in the number of psychological injury claims hitting the state’s prison guards. We have two major gaols in this area, Wellington and its neighbour Macquarie and there’s a huge number of locals employed in the industry. That’s not counting the Old Dubbo Gaol – I don’t think much compo would have been paid to those prison wardens back in olden times. I’m always concerned at escalations in public expenditure and the data obtained by the NSW Upper House claims: z Corrective Services workers’ compensation premium rose to $58 million in FY 2019-2020, up from $27.7 million in 2017-18; z 19 per cent all claims were for a psychological injury in the past financial year. In 2017-18 psychological claims were 12 per cent; z 851 corrections staff are currently receiving workers’ compensation, 413 of those employees are not at work. Shadow minister for finance and small business Daniel Mook-

Robert Holmes captured some incredible footage of this Pierce Street, Wellington home when it went up in ﬂames on April 14.

hey says the increased bill shows the government is failing to provide Corrections NSW staff with safe workplaces. “Managing the state’s worst criminals is a tough job, and the conditions our prison guards face are getting worse.” Mr Mookhey said. “More prison guards getting hurt means the job of managing the state’s toughest criminals gets harder. “The Government needs a rapid plan to lift workplace health and safety standards for our hardworking prison staff.”

Drugs, gun seized in vehicle stop

ABOUT 1pm on April 15 police attached to the Western Region Enforcement Squad stopped a vehicle outside a home on Catherine Drive, Dubbo, after checks revealed the driver was driving whilst license disqualified. Police spoke with the 37-yearold male driver and subsequently conducted a search of the man and vehicle, allegedly locating a home-made firearm, ammunition and a zombie knife. The man was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station and following further inquiries, officers conducted a Firearms Prohibited Order at a home in Dubbo about

3.20pm the same day where police allege they located and seized methylamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and an extendable baton. The man was charged with supply prohibited drug – indictable quantity, possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit, firearm found at premises – subject to prohibition order (two counts), use prohibited weapon contrary to prohibition order (two counts), and drive motor vehicle during disqualification period – second offence. He was bail refused to appear before Dubbo Local Court.

Prohibited weapons import charges POLICE have charged a man on multiple counts of firearm offences following an investigation into the importation of prohibited weapons in Narromine. In March 2021, officers attached to the Western Region Enforcement Squad commenced an investigation into the importation of prohibited weapons and firearm parts to an address in Narromine. During the investigation, police and members of the Australian Border Force, intercepted and seized parcels containing.22 calibre pistol magazines and a firearm silencer. Police will allege the parcels were addressed to a home in Narromine. About 9.15am on April 14 police executed a search warrant at a caravan park at Narromine and allegedly found and seized numerous airsoft pistols, airsoft military style weapons, ammunition, expandable steel batons, flick knives and prohibited drugs. The occupant, a 53-year-old man, was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station where he

was charged with 11 offences. The man appeared at Dubbo Local Court where he was granted conditional bail to reappear before the same court on June 10.

Teen charged for break and enters A 17-YEAR-OLD boy has been charged with 49 offences following an investigation into break and enters at businesses in Dubbo. Last January police commenced an investigation following several break and enter offences at commercial premises in Dubbo after more than 20 break-ins were reported at businesses on Mountbatten Drive, Hawthorn Street and Wheelers Lane. Police will allege three vehicles were stolen during the offences. Following inquiries, police executed search warrants at premises in Warren on March 18 during which clothing was seized. Shortly before 3.30pm on April 14 police arrested at 17-year-old boy at Dubbo Police Station. He was charged with 49 offences including: z Break and enter (10 counts); z Aggravated break and enter (nine counts); z Larceny (nine counts); z Destroy damage property (four counts); z Enter land with intent (two counts); z Take and drive motor vehicle (two counts); z Steal motor vehicle; z Enter vehicle without consent of owner; z Never licensed person drive vehicle on road (three counts); z Threat to prevent information to police. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

“To know how to say what others only know how to think is what makes men poets or sages; and to dare to say what others only dare to think makes men martyrs or reformers – or both.” – Elizabeth Charles, British writer

By JOHN RYAN MAURICE Campbell doesn’t just reflect on Australia’s military history – he lives and breathes it, and spends his days passing it on to others. He’s one of the drivers behind a military history class at Dubbo’s University of the Third Age (U3A) and it’s a popular course for people from diverse backgrounds. Mr Campbell told Dubbo Photo News how U3A is such a great resource for so many people. “For people who are getting on in years it’s a very special place to be because there are wellness classes; they have this, they have that and there’s something there for every human being to participate in which I think’s absolutely marvellous,” he said. He said his mate Graeme Hoskings was really responsible for planting the seed of an idea for a military history class in his head. “We sort of built things up and got on so well together we started finding out about these soldiers who were just dying to be discovered and when we started it was just never ending,” Mr Campbell said. “The picture is just so huge because there were 60,000 Australians killed in World War I, but there were 150,000 wounded. It beggars belief doesn’t it? And yet we had the best army of the lot of them. We put everybody else to shame.” Mr Campbell describes the interest

This pack of cards was made in the trenches by diggers looking to ﬁll in time amid the slaughter on France’s Western Front.

IT’S A RECORD! The tallest man living today is the towering Sultan Kösen from Turkey. According to Guinness World Records, 38-year-old Sultan was 251cm tall when last officially measured in 2018. To put that into perspective, Sultan is 8.8 inches taller than Yao Ming (China) and over a foot taller than Shaquille O’Neal (USA)! As well as being the world’s tallest man, he has the largest hands on a living person, with hands measuring 28.5cm from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. When you’re over 8 feet, average-sized things can often feel very small and easy tasks are made much harder because of it. Obstacles that Sultan face include finding clothes or shoes that fit and fitting into regular-sized cars.

in the class as “incredible” and the classroom was packed the day Dubbo Photo News sat in for some of a lesson. Sir Roden Cutler and the Red Baron were just two of four topics discussed at one class, keeping the ‘students’ spellbound, especially with Steve Clayton’s presentation on Sir Roden Cutler and the connection his father had with one of Australia’s most recognised soldiers. “All wars were dreadful,” Mr Campbell said. “But many of the exploits, the sacrifices, the mateship – they were incredible and show the best humanity has to offer. “There are some amazing local connections and anecdotal stories passed down through families which really bring that history to life.” He says first-hand experience of the effects of war have helped to drive his passion and thirst for knowledge. “I think growing up and seeing Mum and Dad going to ANZAC Day services, and there were family members who never came home. It’s pretty special, mate.”

ANZAC DAY MESSAGE

Rethink welcome as road fees take their toll

Memories of a soldier By GREG WARREN, NSW SHADOW MINISTER FOR VETERANS AFFAIRS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND WESTERN SYDNEY ANZAC DAY 2020 will be etched in our memories forever. It truly was an April 25 like no other. The plethora of people who usually descended on marches and services at dawn were nowhere to be seen. Instead they were ordered to remain in the confines of their homes. The lighting of a candle on the doorstep was the only show of respect for our fallen that we were able to offer. But 12 months on and we are slowly returning to a sense of normality. While there will be certain restrictions placed on Anzac Day services and marches this year, many of us will at least be able to leave our house and pay our respects by attending a march or service. The importance of a large crowd at services on April 25 should never be understated. It is imperative as a nation that we both preserve and promote the stories of our brave Defence Force personnel. That starts by encouraging younger generations to attend marches

and services every year. It continues by having those same people bring their children and their grandchildren along. The goal should be to make sure that the tradition is so deeply etched into our nation’s fabric that nothing – not even a year like 2020 – can compromise the tradition. We all know words of The Ode: They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them nor the years condemn, at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. We will and we must remember them. Take a minute to think about what our nation would look like today without the efforts of those brave men and women who served in various conflicts and wars. Waking once before dawn every year and taking a moment every now and then to remember those Defence Force personnel is not a sacrifice. Heading into conflict and not knowing whether you will ever see the faces of your friends and family again – that’s a real and genuine sacrifice. Let’s make April 25, 2021 like April 25, 2020 – a day that we will never forget.

IF you’re among the many motorists that regularly travel from Dubbo to Sydney, you’ll be pleased by news that the NSW government is ordering a review to consider the cost of tolls. The NSW opposition certainly welcomes the call, saying that with the cost of tolls “soaring”, “something has to give”, and is calling on the roads minister to spell out the terms of the review to give the motoring public an idea as to the options that are being considered. A recent report from Nine News indicated that at least two toll relief measures were under consideration, including charging drivers a distance-based toll fee for each kilometre, with consideration of a daily cap and offering free car registration to more drivers, by lowering the eligibility requirements. If you’d like to have your say as part of the NSW Parliamentary Enquiry into Road Tolling Regimes, you can do so until May 23. Campbelltown MP Greg Warren attended St Johns College in Dubbo before joining the Australian Army. He’s currently the NSW Shadow minister for Veterans Affairs, Local Government and Western Sydney.

Outback destination WAMS leaps forward By JOHN RYAN ONE of Dubbo’s most successful charity fundraisers is back on track. The year 2020 was one of massive global upheaval, with worldwide trade disrupted and fundraising opportunities for charities significantly adversely impacted. Destination Outback started in 1990 and has been run as a biennial event since then, but last year’s Coronavirus pandemic prevented it from going ahead. Now registrations are open for Destination Outback 2021. The event is run by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South and since its inception has contributed more than a million dollars to the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Event director George Richmond said because travel opportunities

have been so limited, the 2021 event should stir up people’s interest to once again get on the road. “We expect the maximum of 50 entries will be taken up very quickly,” Mr Richmond said. “I look forward to another exciting event and I encourage people to act quickly to avoid disappointment.” The event will start with a registration at Wahroonga Park on Saturday, August 7. Participants will then make their own way to Tooraweenah to officially start the event that evening. As the trek progresses, crews will be taken on an adventure through the outer reaches of NSW before ending up at Ivanhoe a week later.

Ag sector needs a say in urban planning WITH an annual contribution to the state economy of more than $12 billion, agriculture deserves due recognition when it comes to urban planning. That’s the call from NSW Farmers, which this week said the encroachment of urban development on agricultural land is having an impact on the sector that employs more than 75,000 people and supports almost 30,000 food and beverage manufacturing jobs in regional NSW. The rise of land use conflict and nuisance complaints against agriculture has prompted the peak body’s call for a “whole of government understanding of recognising and preserving important agricultural land”, which it says will be a critical way of overcoming uncertainty for farmers, especially those in peri-urban areas. According to NSW Farmers, those potential land-use conflicts can be constructively resolved when all areas of government “join in an obligation to protect land that is the future of farming in NSW, and explicitly recognise the social, economic and environmental value of farming to the NSW community and wider Australian economy”.

MEDICAL services in the far north west have received a boost with the opening of a new building for the Walgett Aboriginal Medical Service (WAMS) last week. Parkes MP Mark Coulton, who performed the honours, said the new building looks “absolutely fantastic” as well as being designed to reflect the needs of WAMS and the culture of the Walgett community, but has been built in a way to minimise cracking from soil movement. “WAMS is a great model. While it’s funded by the state and federal governments, it’s lo-

cally-run, locally-managed and locally-serviced and as a result has been very successful,” Mr Coulton said. “It’s run by a multi-disciplinary team who looks after the needs of the whole community, from babies right through to the elderly. These services are critical in communities like Walgett, keeping people healthy and out of hospital, and the federal government is committed to supporting it. “Well done to the whole team at WAMS on this project! I’m sure this new building will service the community of Walgett for years to come.”

Down the garden path for cancer support DUBBO’S gardens are as pretty as a picture in autumn, and the active local CanAssist support group is taking full advantage, staging a day of “open gardens” across the city to raise much needed funds to help local people financially impacted by cancer and its treatment. From 9.30am on Sunday, May 2, the day will take in a progressive self-drive tour of a number of our city’s finest gardens, with special guest speakers addressing guests at four of the main destinations. The day begins at 20 Hill-

crest Place, with a morning tea provided by the Dubbo support group of Guide Dogs NSW and an address by garden expert and renowned author Judy Horton OAM. From there, the day moves along to 18 Turnberry Terrace at 11am, where Judy will talk about comparing garden designs of two different types. At 11.45, just along the street at 24, Judy will again mingle with guests in the beautiful garden, before moving along to one of Dubbo’s most renowned gardens, “Ivanhoe” at 54 Grangewood Drive

from 2.30pm. At this final stop, there will be a wide variety of market stalls, along with an address by local garden guru and horticulturalist Kay Turner and a presentation from Pip Smith from LoveMerino Wool creations and a delicious lunch and afternoon tea. Cost for the day is $25 per person to visit all gardens, with tickets available at each stop and through 123tix. For further information on the timetable and venues, visit the 123tix website or phone 0427474915.

Local realtor says retail is dead

Wellington properties and businesses for sale The Wellington retail sector has been going backwards for a long time. PHOTO: DPN/NATALIE LEWIS

By NATALIE LEWIS AN abundance of retail space and businesses for sale in Wellington’s CBD is a sign of the times, according to local real estate agent Sterling Turner who believes the digital economy has largely contributed to the downturn. “Retailers are suffering enormously, not just in Wellington,” he said. “Everything is shifting online. The digital age has done the damage.” Mr Turner said not a day goes by when there’s not one or two packages delivered to his office as part of the online shopping revolution. “If the Australia Post contractor is delivering 400-500 packages a day, there’s your retail sector gone.” Mr Turner said that Wellington’s CBD consists mainly of coffee shops and fast food outlets. “Retail is dead in Wellington,” he said. “Everybody has gone to Dubbo.

“It’s extremely difficult to get people to invest in a town where you’ve got no clients.” The coronavirus pandemic also had a detrimental effect on the situation. “Wellington was already behind, there’s been a whole cultural shift. COVID just brought it on at a faster rate,” Mr Turner said. He pointed out that it would be difficult for Wellington to support big business even if it existed in town. “You’re not going to get big retailers coming to Wellington. Small to medium businesses can’t make money. That’s just the reality. “People ask why can’t the shops be full, but if you fill a shop, someone has to buy the merchandise. People go into shops and try things on and then go and buy it online. Even the big retailers want you to go online. I can’t see a lot of change unless the thinking changes.” Wellington’s Town Centre Plan, recently finalised by Dubbo Re-

gional Council, confirms Mr Turner’s stance on the issue, stating that ‘unless the town centre can be revitalised and meet the expectations of the community, there is a risk of discretionary spending elsewhere, reducing the town centre to basic service provision, rather than allowing a vibrant mix of essential services, businesses and social recreation and community functions to develop.’ According to the plan, there had been an estimated oversupply of 14,075m2 of commercial and retail floor space in the CBD and a land use audit undertaken by HillPDA in 2020 found that 27 per cent of premises within the Wellington CBD are vacant. Dubbo Regional Council CEO Dean Frost said there were a number of reasons for such a high vacancy rate including the impact of online retail, mixed-use development on the periphery of the town centre and a long length retail strip. “Council has identified that improving the Wellington CBD is a

priority project, as having such a large vacancy rate is concerning,” Mr Frost said. The town centre plan shows that Council may investigate planning control incentives that could make sites on the other side of town attractive for large anchor retailers and the potential purchase of key sites in prominent locations to activate the town centre or build on existing pedestrian activation. Currently, the Centre’s highly fragmented land ownership pattern reduces its potential for large transformative redevelopments. DRC will review land zoning to provide a more vibrant CBD, as well as looking at options for planning incentives to encourage development in the centre. “These incentives are yet to be finalised, but some things identified in the Wellington Town Centre Plan include activating Wellington through special events, improving street frontage and encouraging pop-up shops,” Mr Frost said.

WELLINGTON NEWS CULTURE SHIFT

Museum not moving By NATALIE LEWIS OXLEY Museum curator Dorothy Blake has confirmed the collection will not be moved permanently to Wellington’s Old Police Station. With both facilities managed by Dubbo Regional Council, the museum committee was offered the opportunity to occupy three rooms of the former lock-up, which was refurbished last year with the help of State Government funding. Mrs Blake said the offer was declined because the museum collection couldn’t be moved in its entirety to the new location. “We couldn’t take outbuildings, the school house and Stinson Cottage which we were originally told we could move to the exercise yard.” Mrs Blake said the decision was made in conjunction with Oxley Museum’s members and committee and their advisor from Museums and Galleries of NSW. “We didn’t think it was practical

or what was originally offered,” she said. “They wanted us to try it for 12 months and close the museum. We didn’t take it because it wasn’t the deal they planned for us.” Mrs Blake wants to continue their good relationship with Council and ongoing patronage of the museum in its heritage home which dates back to 1883. “We’d hope that is ongoing,” she said. “We do have a good open relationship with them. A lot of people love the museum.” The old police headquarters also has historic significance and is currently being used by Wellington Arts and Crafts for weekly gatherings. Dubbo Regional Council CEO Dean Frost confirmed the Oxley Museum committee had been offered a one-year peppercorn lease to use the building. “Discussions with the committee are ongoing as to their interest in establishing a temporary exhibition at the site,” he said.

In future, he said the Old Police Station would continue to be utilised as a community space. “Council will work with members from the community who have expressed interest in the fa-

cility if the Wellington museum committee does not wish to have a 12-month exhibition there.” Along with its regular displays, Oxley Museum is also offering workshops to the public. A session

on book and paper conservation last month was very successful, with a workshop on photograph preservation to be held at 2pm on April 29, presented by Tegan Anthes.

SWIFT ST UPGRADE

Reconstruction work continues By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON business owner Kathryn Kennedy is pleased to see the Swift St reconstruction going ahead and believes it will improve the local streetscape. “I can’t wait for it to be finished,” she said. “It’s going to be beautiful.” Dubbo Regional Council commenced the $1.9M project in March last year as part of the Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery program. It includes replacement stormwater drainage, road pavement reconstruction, kerb and guttering and footpaths. Council’s Director of Infrastructure Julian Geddes said the aged underground infrastructure had caused complexities for the project. “A reconstruction of this size requires a lot of planning and design work before it can start,” he confirmed. To date, the stormwater network

and water main reticulation have been upgraded, with new underground electrical infrastructure allowing for installation of LED street lighting and servicing of nearby commercial and residential premises. “This project has roughly the same amount of work, if not more, under the surface as it does on the top,” Mr Geddes said. “A significant amount of time has been invested by DRC engineering and operations staff to ensure the services underground are safely identified and appropriately upgraded.” New kerb and guttering and an accessible footpath will follow, including paved areas on the western side of Arthur St. A retaining wall will also be constructed on the northern corner of Swift and Arthur streets. Reconstruction of the Swift St road pavement on the eastern side of Arthur St will be undertaken simultaneously with the kerb and guttering and footpath work. Tree pits will

also be constructed in the centre of the road. The final stage of the project will be asphalting the road surface and construction of concrete medians along with a wombat crossing between the Swift Street Medical Centre and the Soldiers’ Memorial Club car park. Ms Kennedy is looking forward to seeing the finished product mid-year and says the project has not negatively impacted the Wellington Hotel ‘The Wello’ at the corner of Swift and Arthur streets. “We are getting used to the workmen being there,” she said. “It isn’t impeding my business. It’s not hurting me at all. It’s a heritage street and my hotel is Edwardian, it’s such a grand building. “It will really do justice to our premises.” Dubbo Regional Council is currently overhauling Wellington’s Swift St, installing new stormwater and electrical infrastructure and footpaths in the area.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

A demon in your head By JOHN RYAN “OH my God, there is no way that this night is actually happening,” said 17-year-old Charlize Mulholland at the launch of her book The Thread of a Demon. Writing a book is too daunting for most adults but Charlize’s young age is not her major challenge, it’s that she wrote it despite the ongoing and bitter internal fight she’s been battling against her own mental health issues, all the while facing the myriad normal challenges of growing through her teenage years in the 2020s. The St Johns College student said The Thread of a Demon is “a book that holds the beginning, the beginning of something amazing”. “I couldn’t tell you how grateful I am to be standing here today when there are so many times I thought I would lose myself. “I am holding a book that I spent hours and hours on, nights on end, then I would come to school the next day and walk around like a zombie, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. At the launch, Charlize said: “You may be amazed when I say that the year this book was based on, 2018, was my favourite year, and you might be shocked when I say I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I don’t regret the times I yelled at my teachers. I don’t regret the times I spent arguing with my mum.” The assembled crowd was keen to know why, and with humbling honesty, Charlize told them. “I wouldn’t be standing here with a story – hopefully, a story helps the teenagers, the teachers, the adults in our society struggling to understand the reality that we live in, that mental health is apparently a weakness,” she said. “Who made up this concept that we live by, and why do we let ourselves live by it? “As you follow the storyline of a teacher and me, you follow a story of a young girl fighting her mental health – my mental health challenged my perception of who I was and what my reality had become.” Now the young author has a book that contains the essence of who she is and why she is that way. Charlize writes about feeling the weight of the world pressing against her shoulders, how it feels to feel suffocated, “to feel like you’re falling but believing there’s no-one there to catch you, when in reality, there are”. “You just have to let them, but see, that’s the perception of weakness – the stigma as a society we have created,” she said. “Look at what we have done. One in every seven teenagers carries a mental health issue, and only half will get help. What does that mean for the other half? Are they supposed to sit in silence and watch their world crumble around them because it would be embarrassing to ask for help? After all, no one

understands, right? “Wrong,” she says, answering her own question. “We’re just misunderstood. Most of us cannot seem to open our mind enough to normalise the conversation that it’s okay not to be okay. Still, we’re too busy judging (and drawing conclusions about) our perception of someone’s behaviour before we get the opportunity to hear their story.” Charlize says all these teenagers have their own stories and believes none can be compared with the other. “Each day you get up and go to school, go to work, go out into society and put on a mask and no, not a face mask but a mask of a smile – but this book challenges that stigma. When you read this book, I want you to know that it’s okay when I thought it was not,” she said. “I thought it was shameful, embarrassing, weak, so I changed my sadness to anger and took it out on the world around me. Because of the amount of trouble I was getting into, I thought I should become the person everyone eventually thought I was, a selfish teenager. “Those behaviour cards, those meetings, phone calls and emails home, all those times I would get sent out of class and the times my phone would be confiscated, oh and let’s not forget that.” Charlize said she worked hard to try to make out that it was everyone else’s fault rather than her own but says no-one would give her time at that stage of her life because everyone was so used to having “their happy little girl”. “News flash: their happy little girl was gone although no one could accept that, could they? Ttheir happy little girl’s threads were now in the hands of a demon, a demon called depression,”

Some of the strongest support comes from home: Charlize pictured with little sister Amber. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

she said. “Depression is a funny thing because you could be happy one day, and the next you could be falling apart. Those days that you’re happy, you actually question if happy is the emotion you feel because you forgot what happy feels like. “And you wish you could understand what’s happening,” she continues. “You want to process your current state of mind and ask for help because yes, we can say, ‘ask for help then’, but that’s easier said than done. “When we don’t know what’s happening in our own heads, how are we supposed to tell someone else? How are we supposed to verbalise it without feeling like we sound stupid or selfish?”

Charlize presented her mum Nadine with a bouquet of flowers as a token of appreciation for all she'd done for her. But her speech, which detailed just how her mum had stood by her, how she had not given up on her, how she knew she'd never give up on her, was the real gift. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

The book shows how people like Charlize battling issues such as depression live in fear of hurting someone else’s feelings and posits that society’s perception when it comes to mental health concerns is that it’s the sufferers’ fault. “So be happy, they say, you look happier when you smile, but you know what? You wouldn’t tell a person with a broken leg to walk on it without falling, so why say it to a person with depression just so you feel better?,” she asks. “It doesn’t make much sense, doesn’t it?” Twelve months ago when COVID-19 saw school lockdowns happen, Charlize’s mental health again began to deteriorate. She couldn’t handle not being able to go out and not having people around her. “So I sat down and I wrote,” she recalls. “And I know that they aren’t the same things, but it was my way of realising my emotions since I’m sure we could all figure out that isolation and depression don’t exactly work well together.” Mum Nadine Mulholland was emotional during the book launch and is incredibly proud of Charlize for not only battling her own depression so courageously, but being able to confront her demons by writing a book in a bid to help other teenagers through their mental health challenges. “I hope this book helps other teenagers who are suffering from depression or any form of trauma,” Mrs Mulholland told Dubbo Photo News. At the launch she asked the crowd a rhetorical question: “How did I make it to tonight? I have sat in contemplation today deep in thought and wondered. Well, it took unconditional love,

communication with her teachers, reaching out asking for help and a very strong desire not to go to gaol,” she told the crowd. “There were times I didn’t think Charlie would make it through the night with her depression and anxiety. “She strived and worked hard to transcend higher than the mess she found herself in. “As a mum I fought for her. I fought with every inch of my being to the point where it was a detriment to my own wellbeing and health – there was an element of grief as I struggled to let go as her mum, not knowing whether I would get her back.” Mrs Mulholland said she’s learnt many life lessons from Charlize’s life-and-death struggle:  Don’t criticise or assume that the parent or carer/guardian is doing nothing or doesn’t care;  No one knows what is exactly happening;  In my case as a parent, Charlize was acting out at home as well as school, whilst hiding the real problem that was causing her depression;  I organised a psychologist and eventually for her to attend Headspace until, finally, the cause of her depression reared its ugly head;  We must support one another with mental health. Mrs Mulholland said she’s eternally grateful to everyone who supported Charlize and her through the past few years, including many of her teachers, family and friends. “I have only just got her back – I admire and love with all my heart this beautiful, courageous, strong young woman with a commitment to help other young people through Headspace and through her book The Thread of a Demon.”

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Farmers fear accidents at Goolma Rd intersection The Editor, I wish to comment on the article about Cadonia corner on page 23 of your paper of April 15-21. [“Cadonia corner upgrade greatly welcomed”, which outlined plans to upgrade the Goolma and Twelve Mile road intersection between Wellington and Gulgong. The article reported that Continental Wind Partners (CWP) Renewables had referred to the intersection upgrade in one of the project updates for its Uungula Wind Farm, to be sited north of Lake Burrendong, and that traffic to and from its wind farm would see increased activity at that intersection.] The argument about the suitability or not of the present entrance to the Twelve Mile road at Wellington has been going on for over 50 years. There have been three attempts by traffic authorities to change the intersection to a T-intersection instead of its present ‘Y’ form. After the last attempt in 2014, the then Wellington Shire Council purchased some land at the lower end of Wellington Correctional Centre with a view to making it part of a new T-intersection onto Goolma Road. It is this piece of land which has been chosen for the upgrade mentioned in your paper. However not mentioned in the article was the fact that although there are two deceleration lanes proposed, planners have completely ignored planning for acceleration lanes to exit the road to Goolma and Wellington. It is also not mentioned that in its submission, the Planning Department CWP’s consultant states that there will be between 200 and 400 vehicles entering the site in the morning and exiting at the end of the day, six days a week. They will all be forced to use this new intersection. In discussions we have had with Transport for NSW on the issue we were told that the Dubbo Regional Council has put counters on the road and their text books on the subject state that the level of traffic did not warrant acceleration lanes. NSW Farmers Association Wellington Branch would agree with this conclusion if the wind farm

does not go ahead. But if it does, the conclusion reached by Transport for NSW is nonsense if in addition to present traffic the 200 to 400 vehicles come in the morning and go home at night six days a week for two years, as stated in CWP’s own submission. If this matter is not rectified before construction starts, the Wellington Branch of NSW Farmers Association is very fearful there will be multiple accidents as workers queue up to and from work with lines of cars up to two kilometres long. The Branch is currently seeking a meeting with Minister Paul Toole to endeavour to have the matter rectified. Peter Carter, Chairman, Wellington Branch NSW Farmers Association

Praise for local alarm company The Editor, I have been dealing with Macquarie Alarms now for many, many years and recently needed two new remotes etc as mine had worn out over the years. They quoted me a price and I had the money ready but they didn’t need to use one part. The chap doing the job rang and said they’d reduced the cost by almost $50 – now that’s being honest as I would not have known if the part was used, or not. This isn’t the first time Macquarie Alarms has been so kind to me. I am 85-years-old and dealing with Cameron, Pete, Leanne, Julie and all the staff has been really good and being so honest, it’s really good for a business. I can’t drive so they pick up my monthly alarm fees as well, this is a wonderful thing for them to do. Marie Leggate, Dubbo

And in the breeze I heard it say: ‘Lest We Forget’ For below that Pine the fallen lay Gallant sons to always stay, In our hearts and the words we pray: ‘Lest We Forget’ From the Pine and beyond the bay A seedling in soils of clay, Grew the hope that come-what-may:

‘Lest We Forget’ Above the clouds there shone a ray To cast aside skies of grey, As a nation vowed ever would they: ‘Lest We Forget’ A Lone Pine stood one sunny day In a land so far away, And in the breeze I heard it say: ‘Lest We Forget’ c. Maggie May Gordon

Powers are playing favourites on the floodplains Mel Gray ❚ OPINION FLOODPLAIN harvesters use levee banks to divert water that either falls as rain or breaks out of the river bank during floods into private dams. It has been an unmeasured form of free water collection, believed to have increased since 1994 by almost two and a half times. Floodplain harvesting has contributed to dehydrated floodplains and wetlands, less resilient rivers and depleted aquifers. It has contributed to the rapid decline in size

and health of the Ramsar-listed Macquarie Marshes, and has been identified in several reports as a key contributor to the mass fish kills in the Lower Darling in 2019. The NSW Government has been touting that by licencing the controversial practice, they are bringing water take-back in line with the Cap Limit on extraction set in 1994, and returning some critically important flood flows to the ailing river systems of the west. However the Macquarie will be missing out on seeing any water returned to the valley, as the NSW Government – keeping true to their form of prioritising irrigation over everyone else – has increased the Cap Limit, and are claiming that floodplain harvesting can remain

at current levels. It is stated that the volume of the individual entitlements that have been arrived at is significantly inaccurate, and yet NSW still wants to allow users to take five times their licence volume when a flood

comes and gift them five times the water on their licence to get started. On top of that, when the significantly inaccurate licence volumes are corrected, compensation will be paid. It is bewildering that the Government can wave a magic wand and claim less water is being taken now than in 1994, when we can see the wetlands, rivers and fish ` It is bewildering that the dying in front of our eyes.

We are being ripped of momentously. Our rivers and wetlands are being sacrificed as billions of dollars in property rights are being granted to an elite minority. It’s the biggest shift in wealth from public to private hands since the 1990s – it will create many multi-millionaires and it will seal the fate of many critical ecosystems which sustained themselves for millions of years before human greed became a factor. z Mel Gray is the Convenor of Healthy Rivers Dubbo

IN FOCUS THE THUMBS

& Thumbs Down to Woolworths Supermarkets. I was there about 10am Thursday morning. One check out open and I had to pack my own groceries. (I’m 96.) I have shopped there ever since the mall opened. I live closer to Aldi but always went to the mall. So now, look out Aldi here I come!

Thumbs Up and thank you to the kind lady who paid for my haircut at Hair Shananigans on Friday. It was such a lovely surprise. I hope you had a lovely day like I did.

Thumbs Up to Alexandria and Raeleen at Prouds Jewellers for exceptional service!

Thumbs Up to the girl at Bakers Delight at Orana Mall who found my purse and handed it to Centre Management. Thank you so much for your honesty, I really appreciate it.

Thumbs Down to the repair work along Bligh Street between the rear of the Library to the LH Ford Bridge, after recent pipe replacement. The road has sunk and is an accident waiting to happen. If this is the best they can do, I would hate to see them put icing on a cake!

Thumbs Down to the Information Centre for my disappointing experience. I took my visitor from Queensland to the centre and she booked the packet deal, and I as a local booked three places and they got all three wrong. It just put stress on our outings having to deal with the mistakes as some of mine were booked under my friend’s name. They took one and half hours to do this and I have to wait 12 weeks for a refund from the zoo.

Thumbs Up for the restoration of Winged Victory in Wellington’s Cameron Park but what about the honour roll below? There was enough money from the grant to spruce up our list of fallen.

Thumbs Down to Council for the total waste of ratepayers’ money. We have just had our perfect street treated. Nothing wrong with it. Why doesn’t

the council use this excess money on repairing lifting slabs on the footpaths, and even making some new ones. I have tripped so many times on uneven footpaths. The council could also consider treating some of the weeds one must walk on where there is no footpaths, and the burrs one gets in the feet (through the shoes) are quite painful.

Mason post-Covid gathering

Thumbs Up to Dubbo. I ﬁrst visited your city in 1989 when travelling through the Central West of NSW. I was so impressed with the historic buildings and the friendliness of the local people that I determined I would visit it again for a longer period. Now in my retirement I have made good that promise of 32 years ago and my impressions haven’t changed: Dubbo has retained its historic beauty and the friendliness of its people.

Thumbs Down to all the adolescents who ride their bikes and scooters in the main street and through the shops and in front of cars without their helmets. The police should do something about this and take action. Someone is going to get seriously hurt one day.

Thumbs Up to Petra, Fiona and Penny, congratulations to you all for the friendly, kind, caring and professional job you all achieve daily at Dubbo Medical and Allied Health Group.

Brethren and wives at Macquarie Lodge dinner in the marquee in Bro John and Joy Copeland garden

Thumbs Down to all businesses and Council who did not lower all ﬂags to mark respect with the passing of HRH Prince Philip. This gesture should have been observed no matter your creed or beliefs. Our hearts go out to Her Majesty.

Thumbs Down to the people who are disposing of dead mice by throwing them over fences into public places. If these mice have been poisoned then it becomes a danger to other animals like cats or dogs that then could eat the mice and become poisoned. Dispose of dead mice properly and put them in your bin outside.

By JOHN RYAN MEMBERS of Lodge Macquarie No 53 held their first Grand Lodge Officers night in February, after a break of many months. Covid-19 restrictions and renovations to the Dubbo Masonic Centre had prevented brethren from their usual gatherings, but with a few adjustments they were able to continue their centuries-old ceremonies. More than 50 Masons were in attendance at the Masonic Centre in Dubbo, with brethren travelling from Sydney, Wollongong, Nowra, Ar-

midale, Narromine, Parks, Bourke, Mudgee, Orange, Canowindra and surrounding districts. Brother Aaron Barker was raised to the Third Degree – the third step in Masonry – amid sincere congratulations from his brethren. Continuing in the tradition of fraternal hospitality and in the spirit of community, the evening supper was held not at the Lodge, but at the home of Brother John Copeland who, along with his wife, Joy, hosted all attendant brethren and their wives in an open-sided marquee specially erected in

their gardens. Catered by Julie Giddings, the dinner of lamb, beef and pork roasted on the spit, along with a delicious wine and beer selection made the perfect prelude to a fireworks display at 9.30pm. Special thanks go to the local neighbours (who pitched chairs out on their lawns to enjoy the show) and Dubbo Regional Council for permitting the display. After a long hiatus, such a lovely celebration was a reminder of the joy and strength of a camaraderie of local brethren, and a wonderful Covid-safe evening was had by all.

Time to reflect The recent rainfall gave us plenty to be hopeful about. This poignant photo by Dubbo Photo News photographer Ken Smith captures a timely reminder of the hope afforded us by those few men and women, whom we remember and thank every year. Lest we forget.

One of the city's most iconic trees, this majestic beauty lends a touch of the Western Australian bush to downtown Dubbo. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Birds of a feather Kimberly Matthews thought Dubbo Photo News readers would like to see another of the region’s feathered friends in the Paparazzi pages. “We've watched the Moorhens at the zoo grow up since they hatched in the nests on the edge of the lemur island,” she said. “They've grown in to gorgeous, and friendly, adults.”

Hungry as... Forget about the 'Dog on the tuckerbox' - spare a thought for this once-woollen version of the famous Aussie icon. Sitting in thick scrub about half an hour south of Dubbo and it's obvious poor Mr Ram doesn't have access to the refrigerator beneath him. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Science Works! By LYN SMITH Photos by KEN SMITH & LYN SMITH LAST week, Rotary clubs of Dubbo and district conducted the Science and Engineering Challenge in Dubbo. The Challenge has been run in Dubbo every year for 20 years, with 2020 the only exception. Students were excited to have it back again. About 270 secondary students competed on Tuesday or Wednesday, with flood waters keeping some away. Schools from as far away as Forbes, Mudgee, Coonamble and Tottenham sent teams to compete. The winning team on Tuesday was from the Dubbo Christian School, and on Wednesday the combined team from Gulgong High School and St Matthews Central

School, Mudgee were the winners. On Thursday and Friday about 370 primary school students from 18 schools competed. On Thursday the winners were St Mary’s Central School, Wellington, and on Friday the combined team from Warren Central School and Central West Leadership Academy won. Thanks to the University of Newcastle for running the Challenge again this year, to all our local business sponsors and Rotary clubs, and to all the people who volunteered to run the activities each day. Rotary clubs continue to support the Challenge to give country students opportunities to experience the fun and challenge of tasks involving science and engineering skills.

THE Dubbo RSL Memorial Club has generously funded Orana Physical Culture in the purchase of teaching aids to support the three- and four-year-old dancers affectionately known as the Sparkles. Star shaped position markers, directional arrows, music wands and egg shakers are sure to enthuse the younger class groups, inspiring them to hear the beat and explore the rhythm in music. As a not-for-profit organisation, Orana Physie welcomes and thanks the RSL club for its contribution. The Sparkles age groups recently presented an end of term performance showcasing the dance routines they have mastered. Parents and teachers proudly watched as these little dancers showed few nerves. Certificates of excellence were awarded along with rewards for completing one term of Physie. Classes continue in Term 2 with new members very welcome. Email oranaphysicalculture@outlook.com or message via Facebook to enquire. The little dancers in the Sparkles classes are looking forward to using all the new resources as they explore the joys of movement to music.

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.

SQUASH

Dubbo Squash to host Junior titles in Narromine By GEOFF MANN LAST month we recognised the contribution Beryl Mortimer has made to the sport of squash in Dubbo. In that article, Beryl pointed out that from two courts built behind the Dubbo Police Station in 1959, the racquet sport expanded rapidly. At one point there were eight courts at the RSL Youth Club and 10 at a specialty squash complex Peter P Deacon developed where Furney’s Flour Mills office now stands. “Squash was THE sport in Dubbo in the 1970s, ‘80s and into the ‘90s but the arrival of other short and fast-

paced sports like Indoor Cricket, Netball, Basketball and the exponential growth of gyms with such a variety of experiences almost signalled the death knell of the sport,” according to Bernadette Reynolds who was one of Dubbo’s keenest and most talented players. “In the halcyon years we had all courts in use most days of the weeks with lots of grades, footy clubs using them for pre-season and ongoing fitness programs and lots of social matches,” Bernadette remarked. While four walls, a racquet and a ball are all that is still required, squash is no longer the most popular indoor sport but with the

likes of Beryl Mortimer and a dedicated band of coaches and officials, the juniors are being encouraged. This weekend, remarkably, the Dubbo Jun-

ior Championships will be played in Narromine where there are enough courts to cater for the many keen players coming from around the state.

Rugby league is just a week away By GEOFF MANN

Wellington Cowboys will be defending their 2019 title. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ MEL POCKNALL/FILE

MANY trials have been played, the major NSWRL age championships completed and off-season signings almost finalised. That means one thing – league is ready to explode on our fields within the next few days. Defending premiers (2019) Wellington Cowboys, Dubbo Macquarie Raiders and perennial grand finalists, Dubbo CYMS are the teams to beat again this

season but with Forbes, Parkes and Nyngan relatively unknown quantities, we may have an outsider in the mix come September. In fact, Forbes are super keen to return to the top of Group XI after winning in 2016 and ‘18 before last year’s break for all teams. Forbes began the season strongly with a hit out against arch rival Parkes last Sunday. The twintowns took the inaugural George Wright Shield 24-16 in a tough first grade match while Park-

es showed its depth with a win in the Reserves and League Tag. The Under 18s did not take the field with many players on school holidays or involved in representative matches. In next weekend’s Round 1 action, Wellington travels to Forbes, Narromine host Macquarie at Cale Oval with a new look team and their famous ground undergoing a facelift and CYMS tackle the Parkes Spacemen. Nyngan has the bye.

Night spiders By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL THE Wellington Redbacks juniors set the scene for a spectacular night of rugby at Rugrats Park last Friday. The 16s took on a visiting Mosman JRUFC combination ahead of the senior Redbacks women and men’s Central West fixtures. The score in the match wasn’t important, the lure of the lineament and leather was enough to have everyone’s skin crawling!

Bulls bounce back against Panorama By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DUBBO Bulls put aside the heartbreak of the round one 90th minute goal by Macquarie United to send Bathurst Panorama home scoreless. The Bulls strikers struck four times in a dominant play that will have captain Kade Rapley smiling all week. In other round 2 results, Macquarie went down 8-4 to Orange Waratahs in the battle of the Blues, and Orana Spurs started their campaign with a 1-0 win over Barnstoneworth FC.

Rhinos know the standard they have to reach By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL

AN influx of new faces to blend with some longterm Rhinos has presented new coach Doug Sandry with some “positive challenges”. On Saturday Doug witnessed a team with plenty of heart if a little less finesse. He complimented his players on their gritty display, having spent all but 10 minutes with only 14 players after No 8 Tyrone Fleming was given a red card. The send-off was one of a number of poor decisions by players during the match and Doug was adamant that cost the Rhinos points. Mudgee hosted last year’s grand final so there was never any question the Wombats would enter the contest as favourites but the 39-19 scoreline was not a fair reflection of the contest. The coach, though frustrated by the way his team had performed, still took plenty of positives from their first hit out.

LAWN BOWLS

2021 Zone 4 Junior Championships By GEOFF MANN TWENTY of the best young bowlers supported by family and friends stepped onto the greens at Club Dubbo to compete for the 2021 titles. Spectators witnessed the skill and finesse of talented young athletes who pitted their endurance, keen eyes and amazing tactical skills against their peers. Day one was the Pairs Championship and after the group stages, James Robinson (West Dubbo) and Sam Rich (Mudgee) played Tom Rich (Mudgee) and Lachlan Thompson (Gulgong) in the final. Tom and Lachlan rolled off to an 11-1 lead and held off their determined opponents to win by four bowls. Singles’ were decided on day two when the five sectional winners went head to head. Cooper McMullen (Dubbo Macquarie), Sam Bowman (Coonabarabran) and West Dubbo locals Tom Rich, Lachlan Thompson and James Robinson were drawn against the three best cards – Tom Ashley (Trangie), Hayley Sharp (Forbes) and Sam Rich in the quarter finals. Lachlan Thompson defeated Tom Ashley 21-9 in

one semi; Tom Rich downed Cooper McMullen 21-20, in the other spine-tingling decider. Lachlan was crowned Zone 4 singles champion after a strong performance against Tom. In the Fours Championship, five teams played a round robin tournament. The winners were last year’s champions Sam Rich, James Robinson, Lachlan Thompson and Tom Rich who went through undefeated. Shelby Powell (Nyngan), Josh Toby (Trangie), Tom Ashley and Blake Barker (Bourke) finished second. Tournament Director and Club Dubbo Bowls Manager Anthony Brown thanked Zone 4 Junior Convener, Jim Finn, State Junior Selector and John Rodis for the unstinting efforts in ensuring the event ran so smoothly. “Our Club Dubbo Greens’ team Darren Connolly and Jay Stephenson did an amazing job in preparing the greens and surrounds which added to the overall success of the three days,” he added. The Zone Champions will contest the State Championships at Warilla in the next school holidays.

SPORT “Nosa” left an incredible legacy Send your Sport news to geoff.mann@dubbophotonews.com.au

By GEOFF MANN

WHEN Leo Nosworthy left Balmain for Narromine after playing in three successive grand finals with the club, little did he know it would be the start of a most incredible journey. The talented young back signed as captain-coach of the Narromine Rugby League team in March 1951 and was to create a record that led him to a NSWRL premiership with his beloved Balmain Tigers 18 years later. Nosworthy was the architect and artisan combined when leading Narromine to their first Group XI title in 1953. A heartbreaking loss to Parkes in 1954 was quickly forgotten when the tough and brilliant utility player delivered the back-toback premierships in 1955/56. After another less successful year, the man who was lovingly known as Nosa, headed east to coach Dubbo Macquarie and his already impressive coaching credentials were to be forever chiselled into local folklore. After a “settling in” season in 1958, Nosworthy gained immortality when his Blues downed Welling-

ton to complete an unbeaten season. The honours continued when Macquarie was awarded the Clayton Cup, regarded as the pinnacle of Country Rugby League. Don Parish was selected for the Kangaroos from that team while local legends Barry Perry, Athol Currey, Doug Moore, Ray Light, Tom Rutherford and an unstoppable half-back named Johnny George were integral to the team’s success. Nosa passed away last week at his home on the central coast. Interestingly, he remained lifelong friends with Don Parish and Chicka Pearce. “My dad, Brian, who everyone called Tiger, was in the team Leo coached. I was only a little boy when he was here but each year when we head to the coast to catch up with Chicka, who was in charge of us in Under 18s, we would catch up with him. He always remembered his time in the west and said it was that experience that was behind his unbelievable win with Balmain in 1969,” Bob Pilon recalled. In his last year in Dubbo, Leo was the licensee of the Macquarie View Dubbo Macquarie Rugby League Football Club, CRL Group XI Premiers 1959. Back, T. Rutherford, R.

Buoyed by Manly, too much wind under Jack’s wings By GEOFF MANN CYMS WINGER and one of the Dubbo Duck’s most exciting newcomers, Jack Allen, is a “Manly Sea Eagles tragic”. He was so pumped after the maroon and whites 36-0 whitewash of the Gold Coast Titans at Mudgee on Saturday that he flew off the blocks and broke his time! “Jack’s enthusiasm is great, always smiling and revving his rivals and with his infectious nature, it hasn’t taken him long to blend in with the rest of the Duck stirrers. There were plenty who were primed to ruffle his feathers on Sunday morning, but with Jack in the middle and fellow Seagles, dad Peter and veteran beach to bush swimmer Norm Bahr by his side, the other Ducks had nothing to quack about,” Publicity Officer Judy Walsh laughed.

Although numbers were down a bit, Judy says the “co-captains” kept everyone on their webbed feet. “Sparksy and Mark Scullard put on a tough program that embraced all the strokes, however, in true Duck spirit, the flock rose to the challenge. Some even invented their own unique interpretations,” Judy added. Apparently there was plenty of banter and competitiveness when the “top guns” lined up on the blocks, especially in the final of the brace relay. “Young Jack led the charge with partner Glen Smith, however they broke the time barrier and had to stand back as Scull and Roger Mackay clinched the gold medal in a very, very close race. “Mr Consistent, Ron Everett swam his usual race in the final of the 50m Freestyle and got the

green flag ahead of Sea Eagle and Greg ‘The Fish’ Salmon who both broke their times. Tom Gray, the ageless Rooster, managed another win in the 25m Butterfly when he touched within 0.10 of his time. “Well done too Jeff Dawes, who also swam close to his time in the Butterfly. Mark Scullard went within a millisecond of breaking in the 25m Breaststroke ahead of Mark Prentice. The Dubbo RSL Veteran Swimming Club Ducks will come together on ANZAC Day at the Cenotaph to pay tribute to those who have served our country so there will be no swimming this week. Many of the original members and several current swimmers have given their time in the armed forces and remain active in community organisations such as Legacy.

Rhinos subdued as Wombats burrow in

By GEOFF MANN Photo by MEL POCKNALL THERE was nothing subdued about new centre Kekevi Ralulu who charged through the Wombats like a wounded Rhino bull. The fearsome runner made ground every time he had the ball but his efforts were thwarted when his team had to play most of the match with just 14 men.
