COUNCIL TENSIONS

Division over mayoral fees

By NATALIE LEWIS CR GREG MOHR was reprimanded on Tuesday night for allegations of hypocrisy as tensions erupted at Dubbo Regional Council’s Ordinary meeting.

Emotions ran high as councillors discussed the suspension of payment and privilege during extended absence.

“Your definition of hypocrisy is different to mine,” Cr Mohr told Cr Anne Jones in reference to her own three-month absence after she tabled an amendment to the recommendation noting CEO Dean Frost’s report “Possibilities for the Reduction of Powers, Expenses and Facilities of the Mayor”.

Voicing his disgust at the current situation which has reached boiling point between the elected leaders, Cr Mohr criticised the recent actions of his fellow councillors.

“This Council has continually driven the nail into Cr Shields,” he said, referring to mayor Ben Shields who has been on medical leave since the end of March.

“To continue firing bullets while he is in hospital and not here to defend himself is utterly disgraceful. It’s gutless and it’s disgraceful... making decisions and changing Council policy for what? I can’t see the purpose of it.”

MUM’S THE WORD Like many a young and in love newlywed, Jo Efoti dreamed of having a brood of children, seven to be precise.

A cruel twist of fate at the age of 26 left her unable to have babies of her own, but nothing could diminish the deep well of love she had to give.

After the blessing of an adopted son from family in her husband’s native Tonga, Jo went on to become “mother” to a special group of youngsters most in need of love: foster children.

At last count, she and husband Bruno have so far welcomed 27 damaged little souls into their loving home over the years.

For Jo, Mother’s Day has an extra special, if bittersweet, meaning.

Jen Cowley spent time with the forthright and formidable foster mum and found a fiercely devoted humanitarian who says she’s “supremely offended” by the notion of unloved children.

TUNNEL TUSSLE Australia’s longest road tunnel to link the west with Sydney

By JOHN RYAN

An artist’s impression of the proposed tunnel in the Blue Mountains

NSW Labor is calling on the Berejiklian Government to come clean about how it will fund the Blue Mountains Tunnel project, and about its plans for more “tollmania” as deputy premier John Barilaro said investigations are now underway for a tunnel between Katoomba and Lithgow.

“We have already committed to tunnels at Blackheath and Mount Victoria. This proposal would see those tunnels joined together, creating the longest road tunnel in the country,” Mr Barilaro said.

“This is an immensely complex and ambitious plan, but we’re working hard to make it happen because we know what a difference it will make to the lives of commuters, to regional businesses who need access to Sydney and vice versa, to freight companies, to families visiting relatives and to holiday makers.

“The NSW Government is committed to building a safer and stronger regional NSW and this corridor will enhance the state, significantly cutting travel times between the city and the bush.”

He said a tunnel project would mean a dual carriageway along

that mountain stretch of the Great Western Highway.

Regional transport and roads minister Paul Toole said a Katoomba-Lithgow tunnel would work well with the already planned tunnels for Blackheath and Mt Victoria and mean safer and more reliable road connections to Sydney.

“The NSW Government knows how important this upgrade is to the people who use the Great Western Highway every day and in improving connections between Sydney and the Central West,” Mr Toole, who is also the Member for Bathurst, said.

“As part of this upgrade, we’ve already committed to a 4.5-kilometre tunnel to bypass Blackheath and a four-kilometre tunnel underneath Victoria Pass, one of the steepest roads in NSW. “We’re now investigating connecting those two proposed tunnels into one longer tunnel. This would be a history-making project, delivering Australia’s longest road tunnel and allow motorists to avoid all the current pinch points from Blackheath in the east to Little Hartley on the western side of Victoria Pass,” he said.

Tunnel tussle From page 1

Shadow minister for rural roads Mick Veitch said the coalition must release the business case for the Great Western Highway upgrade, estimated to cost as much as $8 billion.

“Building Australia’s longest road tunnel is nothing more than a pie in the sky idea until we see the business case. It is difficult to have a sensible conversation about this proposal without the Government putting forward the appropriate information,” Mr Veitch said.

“How will it be funded? Will it be another toll road?

“This Government has a long history of cost blowouts on large infrastructure projects. In reality, the estimated $8 billion figure could be as high as $20 billion if the project is ever completed.

“And if the Government was truly serious about easing congestion for commuters and holidaymakers, it would have delivered the Bells Line Expressway which is just a single lane and 40km in some sections.

“They can’t even keep Bells Line Road open, so how will they manage to build Australia’s longest tunnel?” Mr Veitch said.

RECYCLING

Post your soft plastic in the REDCycle bin

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THANKS to 1970s science your single-use soft plastic bags, bubble wrap and plastic postage satchels are being repurposed into cement, footpaths, playground furniture, plant pots, and more.

The creators of this technology have stepped up ways of sourcing your soft plastic waste, most recently in partnership with Australia Post Dubbo.

You can now drop off your soft plastic waste to Australia Post Dubbo in the purpose built REDCycle bin.

“When it’s full, we send it on to REDCycle,” Australia Post manager Virginia Brown said of an eightweek trial of the system.

From there the plastic is processed by REDcycle and delivered to a manufacturing partner to be made

into a range of recycled products.

“Australia Post is committed to a sustainable future and is also purchasing carbon credits to offset emissions from deliveries.

You can see the REDCycle and recycling logos on our satchels, and now we have a dedicated way to recycle them,” Mrs Brown said.

Whether the trial extends depends on customer uptake and feedback so use the convenience of on street parking to drop in your soft plastic waste.

The trial of the REDCycle bins is part of Australia Post’s commitment to achieving Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets, which includes reaching a 70 per cent recycling or composting rate of plastic packaging.

The REDcycle Program has been created by the Melbourne-based consulting and recycling organisation, the RED Group.

The team at Australia Post Dubbo demonstrates how easy it is to recycle your soft plastics at the new REDCycle bin. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Footy crowd breeding like Rabbitohs

By JOHN RYAN IN great news for rugby league fans across the west, the crowd limit for the city’s first NRL fixture, South Sydney v Penrith on May 23, has been massively increased, allowing more tickets to be released.

Apex Oval can now host up to 11,300 patrons for the match, with Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders confirming the figure had received approval from the NSW Government, saying demand is still high from Dubbo and the wider western region.

“It’s great that we have been able to reach a figure that allows us to have as many people as possible at Apex Oval for the game, but also do it in a COVID safe way,” said Mr Saunders, who is also chair of the NRL Regional taskforce.

“After receiving the ini-

“Tickets have been released in tranches while we’ve worked on determining the capacity of the complex, and now we have

that figure, a final batch of tickets can now go on sale, which is great news for NRL fans,” he said.

Acting mayor of Dubbo Regional Council Stephen Lawrence said staff had been busily preparing Apex Oval in the lead-up to the game, with additional grass planting and maintenance, and special

mowing techniques adopted to ensure the ground is at the highest possible standard for the NRL. “Following the launch of DRC’s Festival of Footy, and now an exemption for additional crowds at Apex Oval, you can certainly feel the excitement among the community,” Cr Lawrence said.

“I would like to thank our local member Dugald Saunders for his hard work in bringing this event to the Dubbo region.

“I know so many people were disappointed they missed out on tickets last time, so this final release is their last chance to grab a ticket to the game, to get in on the action and cheer on either the Rabbitohs or Panthers.

South Sydney Rabbitohs chief executive Blake Solly said he is excited at the prospect of a sell-out crowd for the match.

“We’re aware there has been an enormous amount of interest in this match, and we’re very excited to be coming to Dubbo to play,” he said.

“I’d like to thank the NSW Government and Dubbo Regional Council for ensuring the game will be seen by as many people as possible.”

Local food outlets to chew over rules IF you’re in the business of selling food in our fair city, chances are you’ll soon have a visit from authorities to help you make sure you’re meeting all your legislative requirements.

Dubbo Regional Council staff will be pounding the pavements with representatives of the NSW Food Authority over coming months to speak with local businesses about what’s involved in meeting all the rules and regulations around selling food, particularly those outlets classified as “low risk”.

These include businesses that sell food like chocolate bars, soft drinks, pre-packaged foods, bread and protein powders.

Why? Because it’s important to make sure businesses, even those that don’t necessarily consider themselves as “food outlets”, are on top of their obligations under the NSW Food Act, particularly when it comes to food recall systems being in place.

Council will notify all businesses classified as “low risk”, and there will be a three-year registration fee of $60.

GAME ON

Festival of footy kicks off for a big week WITH the month of May now a week old, Dubbo’s festival of footy is well underway and the city is buzzing with all the activities planned for the big week of the much-anticipated clash between rival rugby league teams South Sydney Rabbitohs and Penrith Panthers.

Let’s hope Dubbo Regional Council’s predictions of “no vacancy” signs, brimming cafes and local retail outlets abuzz with shoppers all come true.

If the range of events set down for the week leading up to the May 23 clash is anything to go by, the community will indeed be reaping the rewards council is hoping will be returned by its investment in the NRL fixture.

Residents are being urged to deck their halls (and businesses, cars and pets) with their favoured club’s colours, and to urge any friends and family who are coming to town for the game to stay a few extra days in the city and the region to take advantage of all we have to offer our visitors.

By JOHN RYAN GUN clubs often cop a bad rap in the media, but the members of the Narromine/Dubbo Rifle Club have displayed plenty of care for sick kids in the community.

Publicity officer Simon Etcell told Dubbo Photo News the club often held

fundraisers to improve the facilities at the shooting range and decided to put some of that money towards a local charity.

“The board members put the options out there and a lot of us nominated the children’s ward at Dubbo Hospital – I’ve had my granddaughters up there and many other

members have as well,” Mr Etcell said.

“We decided that the kids in hospital needed the money more than us and we’ll look at making it a regular thing, donating part of the funds we raise to charity.”

That money will go towards a sensory garden at the children’s ward and nurse unit manager Rachel Edwards said hospital staff were over the moon.

“Absolutely, we’re very grateful because our sensory garden was taken out in the hospital rede-

velopment,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

“We need a sensory garden to meet the needs of the children, it takes them out of their situations and helps them to be not so stressed.

“A sensory garden is also important for the mums, so they’re not stuck inside all day.”

Councillors vote for surrender of equipment

By NATALIE LEWIS COUNCILLORS on extended leave from their civic duties will now be required to surrender council-owned equipment such as car, mobile phone and iPad after a motion was passed at last week’s ordinary meeting of Dubbo Regional Council.

A recommendation was made by acting Mayor Stephen Lawrence as part of a mayoral minute which described it as a “rare situation when a Councillor takes extended leave”.

“In my view the community would not expect a councillor on extended leave to have access to these items,” he said.

Although coinciding with the current extended absence of Mayor Ben Shields, the revised policy relates to every councillor.

“This issue seems rather

straightforward and obvious and conceptually separate from the current situation regarding the Mayor,” Cr Lawrence said.

Having access to council facilities while on extended leave was deemed unnecessary by those councillors in attendance, which didn’t include councillors Mohr, Gumley, Grant and Shields.

The amended policy states that councillors whose absence is in excess of one month will have access to council facilities restricted until the end of their leave.

The amendment was adopted without going on public exhibition under Section 253 (3) of the Local Government Act 1992, The policy also relates to financial entitlements but this issue was to be dealt with separately by council.

GAS AND MINING

Call for farm land protection to extend to western region THE farming industry’s peak body has backed a move to remove mining exploration licenses and is calling for both sides of the political divide to come together in protecting valuable agricultural land.

NSW Farmers says it welcomes the state government’s commitment to buy back the Shenhua mine and guarantee the security of local food and fibre on our region’s neighbouring Liverpool Plains.

The association says agriculture in the Western Division is facing the same uncertainty with exploration being undertaken “regardless of the fragile environmental and agricultural balance our farmers achieve”. It is calling for a bipartisan commitment from all levels of government to ensure that gas exploration and extraction is not “ad hoc and driven only by financial return”.

Agriculture should be “front and centre when decisions around other industries are made”, according to NSW Farmers.

Another tix for local business

By JOHN RYAN DUBBOS’ award-winning 123 Tix is one of NSW’s first online ticketing providers to integrate the NSW Government’s Dine and Discover vouchers into its platform.

Customers can now have their “Discover” vouchers verified and redeemed through 123Tix according to company director Terry Wilcher, who said any event organisers wanting to offer online Dine and Discover redemption can register online through Service NSW, and provide their business identification to 123Tix. “It’s exciting,” Mr Wilcher said. “I think it’ll be something that’s taken up really well, and we have a lot of people wanting to use the vouchers especially for shows coming up.

“It’s a great step and it’s also another way we’re bouncing back from COVID-19.”

Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said it was great to see Service NSW take the initiative to reach out to 123Tix and invite the business to partner in the rollout of the Dine and Discover vouchers.

“Those of us who live in regional NSW know full well that our businesses are some of the most innovative and agile anywhere in the world,” Mr Saunders said.

Hefty housing hikes fuelling rental crisis DUBBO is among the state’s regional centres facing a homelessness crisis, with hefty hikes in rental costs fuelling a lack of access to appropriate accommodation, particularly for young people.

Our city’s rental costs rose by 12.5 per cent over the past year, driving increasing numbers of young people to seek support from homelessness services.

According to the Bureau of Statistics, young people make up 24 per cent of homeless population, made worse by the Covid pandemic job losses, and more than half of young people under the age of 24 continue to experience housing stress even after receiving rental support from the government.

Everybody’s Home – a national campaign to end homelessness – is calling on the federal government to take action to make housing easier for young Australians to access, saying that building social and affordable housing is crucial and would be a long-term cost saving measure.

One kilometre for every year

By JOHN RYAN

FRANK Bartlett isn’t your typical 85-year-old. That he rode 85 kilometres on his push bike to celebrate his birthday clearly illustrates the fact.

Dubbo Photo News caught up with him to see how the pedal-powered journey had panned out.

“I ride my bike quite often. I cycle most days, I do 20 km or so. I used to do a bit more but I’ve reduced it a bit. I just like to ride,” Frank said.

“I thought a couple of months ago that when I turned 85 I wouldn’t mind riding 85 km – when I turned 80 I rode 80 km, so I thought I’d have a go today, and hit that headwind from the south-west.”

It took the octogenarian four hours and 24 minutes to complete the birthday ride, a pretty steady work-out, but still a marathon stint at any age.

“It’s a pretty flat ride. I keep away from the hills these days if I can.”

So how did he feel getting off his bike?

“I felt a bit tired,” he said, adding that a bit of fatigue is a very small price to pay for the benefits this non-impact exercise confers on the human frame.

“Normally, if you’re having a bad day, if things aren’t going well, then you have a bike ride and you feel a lot better for

Frank Bartlett didn’t make any commitments as to whether he’d ride 90 km on his 90th birthday, or 100 km when he hits the century mark: “I think I’ll put that on the backburner,” he laughed. “We’ll just see how things go”. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

it – an hour’s ride – I’ve always maintained that I feel a lot better when I come back from it, mentally-wise.”

Many motorcyclists claim that a ride on two wheels, which gets the wind on your face and in your hair, can make the problems of the world disappear and Frank couldn’t agree more that cycling is just a good in that regard.

“I do feel that – you can just think about what’s going on. I’ll sing a bit of a song to myself to

fill the time in. I’m quite happy to do it.”

He’s seen a lot of things in his 85 years and believes exercising by going on a bike ride is a simple truth that is often overlooked in the complex lifestyles the modern world has created.

“I believe that, I really do,” he said, pointing out that for him, cycling is great exercise for both mind and body.

“Yes, I’ve got arthritis in my fingers which is a bit of a pain. I had

to give away golf, which I played for 40 or 50 years but I had to give it away because I can’t hang onto the sticks well enough.”

Frank believes his physical fitness would be well below current levels if he hadn’t kept up his cycling routine.

“I wouldn’t be anywhere near as good, I’d say. You just poke along riding, have a look around, listen to the birds and that sort of stuff. I think it’s doing me some good so I’ll just continue with it.”

Library lateral thinking

DUBBO’S Macquarie Regional Library is getting an amenities makeover and workers on the project must have found a book on the shelves which has shown them how to think outside the square.

Dubbo Regional Council is upgrading the public amenities at Dubbo Library to provide customers with ambulant and accessible toilets that will include energy and water saving sustainability features.

The project is underway and is expected to continue into July – the Library will remain open but the toilets will be unavailable and there may be some noise disruption at times.

GIFT FOR MUM

Fun show upsets the potato cart IF you’re still on the hunt for a unique Mother’s Day gift, how better to win some brownie points than with a night out at Dubbo’s fantastic regional theatre? And what better time than when there’s a fun show on offer that promises “a funny, honest, heart-warming story about upsetting the potato cart and standing up for your principles”?

There’s still time to get tickets to The Appleton Ladies Potato Race, being staged at the Dubbo Regional Theatre on Tuesday night, May 11.

Inspired by real life, the comedy is billed as being about “our relationship with both history and change” and according to DRTCC manager Linda Christof, the show “gently provokes conversation around owning and celebrating our past while continuing to question our relationship with generational, social and political change”.

“It’s a funny play with a huge heart that is not afraid to pack a punch,” Ms Christof said. “Anybody who has been a volunteer on a committee will be able to relate... (the play) gives an insight into what it takes to be on a committee – the challenges and the triumphs.”

CATTLE SALE

From the desert to Dubbo for remote herd IT’S a long way from the Tanami Desert to Dubbo, but the 18-hour trek was worth it according to the manager of Suplejack Station in the remote Northern Territory, which sold 475 head of cattle to a buyer near Warren in a deal worth nearly $400,000.

The ABC’s Landline this week reported on the epic bovine journey of 3,000km which took 18 hours just to cross the 760km along the Tanami Road to Alice Springs, such is the “shocking” condition of the track.

The Warren-based buyer then footed the bill for the cattle to rest in yards near Alice Springs before continuing the next 2000odd kilometre journey to their new home near Dubbo.

Suplejack Station usually sells out of Darwin to the live export trade, but the decision was made to use an online selling platform for the first time in a bid to reach buyers in eastern states who are looking to restock after the drought.

Preserving a cinematic icon

By NATALIE LEWIS GOING through the gate of the Westview Drive-in, something magical occurs as the big screen comes into view.

“I call it the time machine,” owner/operator Jason Yelverton said. “It’s got an energy. I see it with everyone as they drive through the gate.”

Anyone over the age of 40 who grew up in the golden age of drive-ins usually has fond memories of the experience.

“It’s a place that’s got a really good vibe,” Mr Yelverton said.

“All the positive experiences are still here.”

Most Australian drive-ins closed during the 1980s with the onset of home-based entertainment systems including VHS and subscription television services.

A lot of the land used for driveins was then sold off for residential development. However, there have been a few open-air cinemas re-opened in recent years, including the Westview which is one of just three operating in NSW. After reviving the Dubbo complex in 2018, Mr Yelverton has aimed to keep the retro venue as authentic as possible.

“It’s a little bit unique in that it’s the original structure,” he said, explaining that any technological upgrades are in line with improving and maintaining the viewing experience.

“One example is having the digital projector. It’s a lot more user friendly that what it was.”

Drive-in Museum: Dubbo’s Jason Yelverton is passionate about preserving the drive-in cinema experience.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

In that regard, Mr Yelverton has relied on the assistance of Independent Cinema Australia president Scott Seddon who also runs the Heddon Greta Drive-in in the Hunter Valley.

“He’s been a great mentor when I needed it, he’s been amazing.

Just having someone there for the guidance who knows what you’re going through, who understands the types of problems that crop up

has been very valuable.”

The Westview was one of the first businesses in Dubbo to have a COVID-safe plan and quick to re-open after lockdown.

There are now patrons who attend every screening while others travel to Dubbo just for the experience.

“There are even people coming from Sydney,” he said.

Mr Yelverton would now like to

see more done to keep the cinematic icons before they disappear completely.

“There should be some sort of investment at a higher level,” he said. “They are so rare and original; it needs to be preserved.

“It’s an experience you can have with friends and family and you are interacting. It’s so much more than a movie.”

COUNCIL WATCH AQUATIC CENTRE

Council floats draft indoor pool plans

TENDERS have been submitted to Dubbo Regional Council for architectural concepts for a future indoor aquatic facility for the city.

Although there is no funding allocated as part of the draft 2021/22 budget, council will be in a better position to chase funding and philanthropic donations once technical architectural concept drawings are “in hand” and a more detailed design can be prepared.

The concepts include contemporary, built-for-purpose indoor swimming, as well as water-based recreation, leisure and wellbeing facilities.

The designs take into account the requirements of a regional centre with a growing population which services greater western NSW and has a growing population.

A report from council’s liveability director stated that the potential construction of an indoor aquatic facility in Dubbo is in keeping with the 2040 Community Strategic Plan, which poses that the community should have the opportunity to participate in “a range of lifestyle, sporting and passive recreational pursuits”.

Sod turn towards independent futures

By JOHN RYAN EXTENSIVE growth in the disability sector during the past five years has seen Dubbo’s Westhaven looking to expand its service offering across Dubbo, Orange and Broken Hill.

Westhaven currently provides support to people with a disability in more than 100 homes across NSW – now, in partnership with Excelsior Housing Services, Westhaven is set to begin the construction of high quality, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in NSW. Westhaven General Manager Adult Disability Services Penny Gibbs said the organisation is committed to sector leadership design that supports improved outcomes for people to live how they choose.

“SDA property delivers more options for improved livability to those who live with disability, allowing greater independence and quality of life for people to live while being supported in their homes,” she said.

Excelsior Housing Services has taken an innovative approach through co-design input from architects, participants and Westhaven staff about what makes a great home.

With an investment pipeline of several million dollars in new property development in the next 18 months, the Dubbo sod turning is the first of many property builds.

Westhaven CEO Andrew Everett says the new homes will pro-

vide the next level of innovative and engaging housing for people with a disability across NSW. Dubbo Regional councillor Anne Jones said it’s a great win for people who need services but are keen to live as independently as possible.

“My involvement with Westhaven has been over 25 years. I was previously a board member going back some years ago,” Cr Jones said.

“To see what Westhaven has achieved until now, particularly with this new housing and this partnership with Excelsior Housing is just unbelievable.

“The residents of Westhaven will treasure this because we’ve come such a long way and I’m certain it will improve the accommodation for all those with disability.”

Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the project is “really excit-

ing” and will provide some fantastic disability accommodation for people who really do deserve the very best.

“The partnership is one that certainly, as the local member, I am really proud to be associated with.

“Collaborations are the way things work best and this collaboration is definitely going to deliver some really top quality housing for people who really need it.”

Calling wannabe councillors: Step up, have a say!

EVER thought of joining city hall?

Well, with local government elections now just a matter of months away, now’s the time to consider putting your hand up to run for council.

Acting Dubbo Mayor, Stephen Lawrence, has put out the call for all residents in the local government area to consider whether they, or someone they know, might be interested in contesting the September election for a seat in the city’s council chamber.

If you’re passionate about your community and about serving the Dubbo region in a meaningful and positive way, Cr Lawrence says putting your hand up for council is a great way to contribute and that good representation begins with a wide choice of candidates.

“A strong list of candidates would lead to a strong council,” he says.

“It’s important that electors have as wide a range of candidates as possible. Democracy flourishes in such circumstances and government operates best with a real diversity of voices and perspectives at the table.

Cr Lawrence says he particularly hopes there will be “a range of Aboriginal, female and ethnically diverse candidates”.

Elections will be held on September 4, with 10 councillors to be elected to Dubbo Regional Council.

Nominations open on July 26 and close on August 4.

Residents will only be able to vote for two councillors who fall into the geographical area in which they’re enrolled, known as a ward, and people are encouraged to do a bit of research prior to the elections to avoid confusion as to which is their ward.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Boosting local jobs

By JOHN RYAN MORE jobs are set to be delivered to Dubbo via a $4.5 million grant to assist Fletcher International enlarge its operations.

That money from the state government’s Regional Job Creation Fund will help fund a $14 million expansion, increasing the Dubbo plant’s processing capacity to 11,000 head per day and creating more than 400 ongoing full-time jobs.

Fletcher International Exports director Roger Fletcher said it’s vital the NSW government invests in regional job creation by assisting employers who have the runs on the board when it comes to employing local people.

“Our business has spent a lot of time and money on building up to where we are today, and we love creating jobs for people,” Mr Fletcher said.

“In all my years in business I’ve never seen a government invest in jobs for the bush like this, and

I can’t wait to get the expansion completed and provide more opportunities for people to get into the workforce.”

Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the grant will help make the project viable and explained the meat processing facility’s capacity to produce meat and skins has been limited by the amount of livestock the current facility can receive and the existing carton handling capacity.

“This project will increase the facility’s livestock and carton-handling facilities, enabling them to continue producing high-quality sheep and lamb products, uphold animal welfare standards and meet growing demand at both a domestic and international level,” Mr Saunders said.

“The upgrades will not only increase the facility’s processing capacity, but also double the rendering capacity of its by-product plant and introduce high-tech equipment Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders, pictured with Roger Fletcher, says it’s important the state government provides seed funding to kickstart infrastructure expansions to help create local jobs.

Making one of a kind creations

By NATALIE LEWIS LIKE all great passions, Sharon Wilson’s hobby craft business began with an idea.

“I’ve always been crafty and creative. I needed to do something with my spare time,” she explained.

Shortly after, Just Hang It was born and brings together all kinds of upcycled materials to be made into unique hangings.

“I started collecting things from Vinnies, clearing sales, people were giving me things,” Sharon explained.

“I use cutlery, beads, glassware, tea sets, plastic wishbones, cane plates, sequins, wreaths, horseshoes. Each piece is a one of a kind.”

Sharon has been creating her

works for two years and is now attending market days and fairs to sell her wares.

“I do Wellington and Geurie markets and I’ve got items at Made in Wello and on Buy Swap and Sell.”

Sharon was also part of the Wellington Arts Trail and had a stand at the Vintage Fair.

“I did pretty well there, it was a good day. I get excited when people buy something I’ve created.”

Sharon gets inspiration from Pinterest and the world around her.

“I get an idea, I design it, sometimes I redesign it if I’m not happy with it. I just visualise it and start again. I make a little bit of money from it but I’m not out to make a fortune. I’m just having fun.”

WHAT KIDS SAY

TIME WARP

Three score and twelve

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THE phrase ‘three score’ which is an old-fashioned way of saying sixty, was probably still in use when these photos were taken, seventy-two years ago during Dubbo’s nine-day celebration of its Centenary.

Found in the collection of a reader’s mother, Nell Haycox, the photographs have captured a street procession on Monday, October 3, 1949.

The Old Bank can be clearly seen in the background of two of the photos.

An article in the National Advocate from the time said approximately 230 decorated vehicles and floats representative of the rural, commercial and industrial activities of the district, took part in the parade.

The procession “was viewed by

thousands of visitors from all parts of the state “which was “staged in fine though dull weather.”

A feature of the exhibition was the carriage appearance of the four ‘Celebration Queens’.

The celebrations continued throughout the week and featured a Mayoral ball attended by the Governor, a Mardi Gras, classical and vaudeville concerts, festival activities and a grand carnival on the main street on the Saturday night featuring dancing and fireworks.

“The activities of small boys who added their bit by setting off crackers under the feet of the crowd were quelled by the police,” The Riverina Grazier also reported.

Its article described His Excellency Lt-General Northcott as unveiling a memorial roll at the (Dubbo)

High School and a picture depicting the last flight of Flt-Sgt R. W. Middleton, V.C. “Mr J.J. Cahill, Deputy Premier, also unveiled a plaque to district pioneers... and reminded his audience that Mr Thomas Browne, police magistrate at Dubbo for some years, who wrote under the name of Rolf Boldrewood, collected in the Dubbo district much of his material for “Robbery Under Arms”.

At the Centenary Ball held at the Royal Theatre, Nurse Lorna Bennett was crowned “Queen of the West”.

A total of 5,500 pounds was raised by the four Queen candidates used to build a Memorial Hall.

The other queens include Nancy Rex (from the RSL), Colleen Cummins (business and railway) and Joan Perrin from the RAAF.

COUNCIL WATCH DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT

Visitor program pushes “fourth”

Wallace and McGee

Marcus Clarke

THERE’S no doubt the pandemic period has had an adverse impact on tourism across Dubbo and the region, and businesses have been doing it tough under the pressure of uncertainty, so news of a fourth delivery of the Destination Development Partnership Program will be welcome.

The program, which sets out actions and initiatives aimed at building visitor demand and attracting new residents and is underpinned by targeted mar-

keting material, has been able to reach “greater audiences and penetrate new markets” according to a report before Dubbo Regional Council this week.

Council’s Economic Development and Marketing Branch has so far developed and delivered three 18-month programs and this week sought “concurrence from council on the pricing of the fourth Regional Program focusing on visitor and new resident attraction”.

Each program has been designed to create value for businesses and opportunities for local industry to leverage from destination marketing activity. A collaborative approach to destination marketing results in value for industry partners and higher investment level for large scale destination marketing activity for the Dubbo Region.

Engagement of partners for the next program is expected to start this month.

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Grass fire DESPITE recent rains, there is so much grass and growth about that fire is an ever present danger.

We have space this week to fit in a photo of a grass fire off the Mendooran road a couple of weeks ago which required Ballimore, Mogriguy and Terramungamine Brigades to put it out. See below.

The first arriving crews were faced with a large running grass fire and it took several attempts to knock it down, with firefighters then forced to spend the next few hours dealing with affected trees and stumps.

Despite the cooler temperatures this fire grew to a serious size before being controlled by crews, so it’s a good demonstration of the dangers fire can present regardless of the weather conditions, and a timely reminder for everyone to remain vigilant when dealing with activities involving fire.

The Dubbo Photo News column dedicated to the hard work of our emergency services personnel.

Dubbo show special guests THE Dubbo Show will be opened this year by the NSW Commissioner of Resilience, Shane Fitzsimmons (pictured).

Also attending will be the NSW Commissioner for Rural Fire Service Rob Rogers, NSW Commissioner for Police Michael Fuller, NSW Commissioner for VRA Mark Gibson, and NSW Commissioner for SES Carleen York.

In the 12 months to March 31, NSW Ambulance responded to more than 200,000 jobs where no patient was taken to hospital, with reasons ranging from hoax calls to refusal of transport – talk about a monumental and ill-afforded waste of scarce resources.

Meantime, paramedics are overworked and there aren’t enough of them, but there probably would be if all these nuisance callers thought before they dialled.

Here’s a list of Triple 000 callers from that same 12-month timeframe where the incidents were so minor that ambulances didn’t even bother rolling to their alleged “emergencies”.

Hiccups? Can you believe that?

Put 30ml of straight raspberry cordial under your tongue and hold it there for 30 seconds before swallowing – works every time.

The cops fared even worse during that same period, receiving almost 800,000 requests for assistance via Triple Zero, and that was in addition to more than 580,000 non-emergency reports through the Police Assistance Line 131 444 and the NSW Police Community Portal.

Of those Triple Zero calls, about 40,000 were transferred to a non-emergency line, but more than 150,000 calls were later deemed to have been more suitable to a non-emergency line.

NSW Ambulance Assistant Commissioner Steven Norris is the director of control centres and he said non-emergency jobs take paramedics and call-takers away from their most important work, which is saving lives.

“If you are having a medical emergency we will always respond to you but too often our paramedics are responding to calls we simply don’t need to attend,” Mr Norris said.

“We want the public to think before calling us for trivial matters.

“If it isn’t a medical emergency, please consider other health services such as your GP, a pharmacist or a registered nurse at HealthDirect which is available 24 hours a day.”

NSW Police Communications and Security commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Rashelle Conroy, said there are a number of options for people to report non-emergency or minor incidents.

“Triple Zero operators understand that life-threatening incidents can be traumatic and stressful and their priority is to establish where help is needed and why,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Conroy said.

“More than 70 per cent of calls to Triple Zero are made from mobile phones and as callers often focus on relaying what’s happening, our operators need to take control and pinpoint the exact location of the emergency to know where to send police or other resources.

“When the caller is unsure of where they are – or how to describe it – call-processing times can be longer, so to ensure there’s always an operator available for any emergency, we’re reminding the community to save Triple Zero for saving lives.”

Meantime, the state opposition has called on the

Rescue squad volunteers say they’re happy with the new uniforms, unveiled by emergency services minister David Elliot, because they’re designed for purpose, are more comfortable and safer than the old white overalls. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

NSW government to urgently increase investment in NSW Ambulance as figures highlight a system in crisis with people left waiting nearly 45 minutes to access what is at times life-saving treatment.

And Health Services Union (HSU) secretary Gerard Hayes held a press conference highlighting paramedic shortages across the state, with one claim being that at one stage there were only 14 ambulances available to cover 61 Triple Zero jobs in an area spanning Avalon to Bowral.

“The harsh reality is that the paramedic workforce is fatigued and demoralised to breaking point. Resources are so scarce that when paramedics are sick or injured there is simply no cover for them,” Mr Hayes said.

“An extra 1500 paramedics are needed across the state and the Treasurer must commit to this in the coming NSW Budget.”

Now, we may well need more resources, but imagine how much less stress there would be on the system if people stopped nuisance calling Triple Zero for non-emergency or hoax jobs.

Enough said.

New uniforms for rescue squad THE white overalls that are so well recognised as belonging to members of the Dubbo Rescue Squad are no more, with new uniforms being launched to volunteers across the state.

The two-piece uniforms are apparently better designed, safer and more comfortable, which is a great thing.

Golf course ‘ploughed’, man charged I FELT so much frustration with my golf game that I gave it away when I was about 12 years old.

There’s also an urban legend I heard when I first moved to Dubbo in the early 1980s about a local bloke who had so much trouble putting his ball on a local green, that it was found ripped to shreds by explosives way back when ordinary people could handle gelignite via a simple TAFE powderman’s course, without being branded a terrorist.

Anyway, a bloke out near Dunedoo has taken things to a “hole” new level, with police charging him for allegedly ploughing up the Dunedoo golf course.

Police believe at about 8pm on April 27 a man drove a tractor towing a disc plough to the local golf course, alleging he used the farm machinery to plough most of the course’s fairways and greens,

causing extensive damage.

On April 28 police arrested a 34-year-old man at a property on Ballinda Road north of Dunedoo, and while there, officers seized two unregistered firearms.

The man was arrested and taken to Dunedoo Police Station, where he was charged with: z Destroy or damage property; z Use offensive weapon with intent to commit indictable offence; z Enter enclosed non-agricultural lands, interfere (with) business; z Use unregistered registrable Class A motor vehicle on road, and z Possess unauthorised firearm.

The man appeared before Mudgee Local Court where he was granted conditional bail to reappear before the same court this week.

Nyngan guns stolen POLICE are appealing for public assistance after several firearms were stolen from a farm near Hermidale, west of Nyngan.

Between April 20-29 police believe persons unknown forced entry to a shed on a rural property on Yarrandale Road and seven firearms were stolen from their safe storage cabinets, along with a hunting knife, spotlights, a gas welding kit and a chainsaw.

An investigation is underway, and police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident, or who may have seen suspicious activity in the area at the time, to come forward.

Fine-mania – sounds like a movie HOW’S this for a business model?

The March figures for mobile speed cameras show 23,149 fines were issued – the second highest month on record since the cameras were introduced. The revenue raised from mobile speed cameras in March was $5,272,000.

The number of mobile speed camera fines issued in February has also now been upgraded to 33,634, a massive jump from 1859 fines a year ago and the highest month on record. Revenue in February was $6,248,000.

The increase in fine revenue is so sharp that it has prompted Treasury to upgrade its estimates for total government fine revenue from all sources by $70 million to $722 million by the end of the financial year. These figures were revealed at Budget Estimates.

Wow. Just... wow.

That cash would pay for a few extra paramedics and cops. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Family history of serving Australia

By JOHN RYAN

ETHAN Phipps was born in Dubbo in the year 2000 and attended Dubbo Christian School from 2006 to 2018.

Being from a rural centre and having a family farm nearby made him a country kid, a value he still holds dear.

Now a pilot Officer with 30 Squadron based at Sale, in Victoria, he told Dubbo Photo News how he came to join the Royal Australian Air Force and how that career is working out.

••• Did you always dream of joining the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) or were there other careers you looked at?

My great-great grandfather, Arthur Philpott was in the army during WWI, my great grandfather, Garnett Tobin was in the army during WWII and my granddad, Ross Stockings was a physical training instructor with the army during Vietnam, so there is a proud family history of serving Australia.

The draw to the Air Force came from my great-grandma, Jean Stockings (née Rosser), who was a Flight Sergeant in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as a cipher clerk during WWII, and from an early age, her stories and contributions to Australia’s safety inspired me, so I had always wanted to join the RAAF. I didn’t mind what I did, I just wanted to be a part of serving in the defence of Australia.

What was the process to join the RAAF and how difficult was it?

I began the recruitment process as soon as I was able, and it was a competitive process of physical, mental, personal, and academic assessments, boards, and screening programs. Full credit to my teachers at school and my parents for their patience and flexibility when I frequently travelled to Sydney for recruitment stages.

How did you feel when you were accepted?

When I received the letter of offer, it was an awesome feeling!

I was ecstatic and told everyone who had been involved in the journey and they shared in my excitement.

Tell us about your first day in the RAAF. My first day in the RAAF was filled with excitement, nerves, and anticipation. Being handed the RAAF Ensign to affix to my

Ethan and Kerrie Phipps with the Governor-General and Mrs Hurley. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

uniform and reciting the Airmen’s Code was a special moment and a tear may have rolled out.

What is your rank and role in the Air Force?

I am a Pilot Officer (O1). To date, Air Force has given me the opportunity to gain a multitude of experiences from working in Plans and Operations for Air Force Training Group (Air Academy), coordinating flypasts, managing Initial Aircrew Survival Training, and supporting Officer’s Training School in their Ground Defence and Leadership Field Exercises, and in the Air Base Command Post at 30SQN, working with various stakeholders from around the base and the wider Sale community.

I’ve also had the opportunity to take part in two Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (HADR) taskings during the 2019 to 2020 Bushfires and supporting the Victorian Government during its State of Disaster during Melbourne’s lockdown in mid-2020.

Tell us about your squadron.

I am at No. 30 Squadron (30SQN), which provides airbase support services to lodger and deployed units at RAAF Base East Sale. It was originally raised in 1942 as a long-range fighter squadron, operating the Bristol Beaufighter. The squadron

earned its reputation in The Battle of the Bismarck Sea (March 1943) where 30SQN attacked a large Japanese Convoy carrying troops to Lae, New Guinea, resulting in large losses for the Japanese Forces – many historians argue this was a pivotal battle in the Pacific Theatre of WWII. 30SQN earnt a total of 11 Battle Honours throughout WWII, making the 30SQN Standard the most decorated Squadron Standard in the RAAF. The Squadron disbanded in 1946, before being reformed in 1948 as a Target Towing Squadron, supporting tri-service training as well as research conducted by the CSIRO before disbanding in 1956.

It was again re-activated as a Surface-to-Air Missile Squadron, providing surface-to-air missile capability from 1961 to 1968.

In 2010, No.30 (City of Sale) Squadron was reformed from Combat Support Unit East Sale.

It is now responsible for providing airbase support services to lodger and deployed units at RAAF Base East Sale.

This year, our Squadron Standard was consecrated by the Governor-General of Australia, His Excellency the Honourable General David Hurley AC DSC (retd.) and I had the privilege of being involved in the parade.

30SQN was once again tested during the 2019 to 2020 Bushfires, where it was used as the staging point for Operation Bushfire Assist.

As a younger member in the RAAF, and as a Junior Officer, what does the 100th Anniversary of Air Force mean to you?

I joined the RAAF at an interesting time, having the opportunity to contribute to both the Bushfire and COVID-19 Emergencies, and being able to celebrate the Air Force Centenary. It reminds me that I’m part of history and playing a part in serving Australia. I’m excited to see what the future holds for the RAAF. Can you talk about your experience in Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (Operation BUSHFIRE ASSIST 19-20 and Operation COVID-19 ASSIST).

Within my first two years in Air Force, I had the opportunity to take part in Operation Bushfire Assist during the 2019 to 2020 Bushfires and Operation COVID-19 Assist during the 112 Day Melbourne Lockdown. Both of these will be highlights of my career.

The feeling I had from knowing what I was doing, was amazing: I could always go home in high spirits knowing that I had done something good and that, on that day, I had helped people.

MOUSE PLAGUE

Help needed: No reprieve from rampant rodents THE region’s rampant rodent plague shows no sign of abating, and is posing a significant risk to human and animal health, on top of the huge financial cost to farmers and rural communities.

The plague is putting further pressure on the region’s communities as they try to recover from drought and now there are reports of increased cases of leptospirosis as a result of mice moving into people’s homes.

Mouse control is a huge cost for farmers but with tonnes of fodder being destroyed, producers have no choice but to outlay precious funds for extensive baiting programs.

NSW Farmers is calling for the state government to provide urgent assistance in the form of financial assistance for baiting and for the streamlining of approvals for industry to establish treatment stations so farmers can have their own grain professionally treated with zinc phosphide.

IT’S A RECORD! “Midori”, a 24-year-old koala living in Japan, is now recognised as the oldest living koala in captivity and oldest koala in captivity ever, according to Guinness World Records. Residing at Awaji Farm Park England Hill in Minami Awaji, Hyogo Prefecture, Midori’s current age is the human equivalent of over 110 years old! On average, koalas live to 15 to 16; Midori’s age far surpasses that. What is more remarkable is that Midori still climbs trees, feeds by herself, and in a condition where she can appear in front of visitors.

Midori was born on February 1, 1997, in Australia.

EDUCATION SUPPORT

Boost for region’s bright young minds SOME of our region’s brightest young minds will be supported to pursue their studies with help from the Country Education Foundation (CEF) and a scholarship program in partnership with finance and accounting organisation Findex.

Of the six $3000 scholarships awarded in 2021 for study in areas related to business and finance, two have gone to western region students.

Millie George, from Nyngan is studying a Bachelor of Business through the University of New England at Armidale, and Patricia Condino from Walgett is undertaking studies at the University of Western Sydney where she is enrolled in a Bachelor of Accounting.

Findex Community Fund Director Danielle Maxwell joined CEF’s Juliet Peterson in expressing pride in the partnership with assists young people to further their education, particularly those who, without support, may not have been able to undertake or complete their studies for financial reasons.

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO has been recognised as nurturing some of the best young musicians in the state, with Macquarie Conservatorium scoring a top 10 placing in the 2020 NSW Australian Music Examinations Board results in the category of Most Outstanding Studio or Music School – Preliminary to Grade 4.

Macquarie Conservatorium director Vivienne Winther said the results were an amazing achievement.

“Judged across all NSW instrumental exam entries, metropolitan and regional, private teachers, schools, music-teaching businesses and other conservatoriums, this award means the collective

results of our students gave us a ranking in the top 10 of all those entries,” Ms Winther said.

“This demonstrates that through the high-quality teaching Macquarie Conservatorium provides in our community, regional students can achieve outstanding results in music just like their city counterparts.”

Last year saw COVID-19 severely impact students’ studies with interruptions to lessons, a long period of online learning, and special restrictions on even playing some instruments but Ms Winther said students and teachers persevered and prepared their exam work to a very high level.

More than 50 Macquarie Conservatorium students presented for Australian Music Examina-

tions Board (AMEB) instrumental exams in 2020. Seven students received the highest mark, A+ or High Distinction, 19 received Honours, and 14 received Credit, with others ranked as satisfactory.

“We are very fortunate that AMEB NSW sends examiners out to country towns to assess regional students. Macquarie Conservatorium supports AMEB NSW by making our conservatorium available as a central exam venue for all students in the region,” Ms Winther said.

“That AMEB NSW managed to run face-to-face exams in regional centres in 2020 while managing COVID restrictions was nothing short of a miracle and demonstrates the commitment AMEB

NSW has to regional students.”

Macquarie Conservatorium prepared students for the 2020 AMEB exams in piano, singing, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, violin and viola. As well as at the Dubbo facility, students were taught by conservatorium teachers visiting Gilgandra, Narromine, Warren and Wellington.

“I would like to congratulate our students on achieving their excellent AMEB exam results last year. It took a lot of hard work and commitment and our specialist music teachers deserve a very big thank you. Our students could not achieve these results without the expertise and dedication of our teachers.”

ART HUB

Old butchery’s brand new vibe

By NATALIE LEWIS

THE butcher’s paper in Tierney’s Central Butchery has a very different purpose these days, with the space now used as an art hub.

The studio was one of 15 venues to open their doors for the 2021 Wellington Arts Trail, with local artist Jackie Tierney thrilled by interest in her work and that of fellow artist Jennifer Jones over the two-day event.

“The big joke was everyone asking for a kilo of sausages,” she laughed.

“We had a lovely weekend, everyone was interested and there were a lot of comments about the art.

They were interested in the process.

“I had people come along that I hadn’t seen for a long time and they’d been following me on social media,” Mrs Tierney said.

People came from far and wide to see the range of artists on display, which included Wellington watercolourist Jan Payne, sculptor Alison Willis and stone wall builder Emma Knowles, Fishdog director Jack Randell and Kerry Palmer

in Geurie, Rae Ayling, Gill Pedrana and Laura Holland from Dubbo. There was also an artisan hub in the Western Stores building which featured the works of Sharon Wilson, Robyn Brien, Ruth West and Lisa Thomas among others.

The Wellington Caves Precinct showcased crafter Chris Hardy and wood turner Ken Vodden while the Stuart Town collective included ceramicist Jude Keogh and sculptor and artist Natalie Reid. Burrendong Arboretum featured photographer Felicity Rostron and oil painter Mick Hutchison while Marilyn Hickey’s work was on show at Bakers Swamp.

The transformation of the former butchery has been a wonderful progression for Mrs Tierney, who is excited about what the future holds in an artistic sense.

“It was a nice feeling to be in an actual space,” she said.

“It was very successful and it’s encouraged me. It’s now a nice space I can come to.”

Mrs Tierney hopes to hold more events in her studio in the future.

Fingerlings launched

By JOHN RYAN WELLINGTON’S Federal Hotel Fishing Club is doing its bit for the local fishing stocks and the environment at the same time, recently releasing 25,000 Golden Perch, commonly known as Yellowbelly, into various locations around Lake Burrendong.

Club president Mark Rich told Dubbo Photo News the release marks a significant milestone for the crew.

“With this release it takes us over

the one million fingerling mark, a huge effort for a small club,” Mr Rich said.

“The club has been in operation for more than 25 years and all monies raised at the raffles held at the Federal Hotel on a Thursday night go to purchasing the fingerlings from Uarah Hatcheries via the Dollar for Dollar program run by the Department of Primary Industries.”

A fantastic effort from a great local club!

Creating greater cultural awareness

By NATALIE LEWIS KERRYANN Stanley has a love of learning that knows no bounds.

As one of only two recipients of the prestigious Cr Pat Dixon Memorial Scholarship for 2021, Miss Stanley aims to use the $5000 fund towards further education.

“I’m hoping to upgrade my studies to design and develop Aboriginal cultural education workshops,” she explained. “I never waste an opportunity to educate.”

Born and bred in Wellington and a proud Wiradjuri woman, Miss Stanley started as Dubbo Regional Council’s Aboriginal Liaison Officer in September 2020.

Her role includes creating awareness and delivering cultural appreciation workshops in the community. The scholarship will allow Miss Stanley to upskill her qualifications to support that delivery.

With her teaching background, Miss Stanley already has Diplomas in Teaching and Early Childhood along with a Bachelor of Adult Education majoring in Aboriginal Studies, an Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

Further studies will enhance that cultural education and bring it in line with the current

framework.

“CuItural training looks at breaking down stereotypes and barriers and how to best engage some structure. I don’t deliver from a perspective of blame.”

Miss Stanley describes cultural identity as more than just heritage.

“It’s a way of living, being in tune with the land, cultural care and engagement.

“The thing to be mindful of is cultural protocol, and I provide the basic information and the resources and tools to do that. If you want to work with Aboriginal people, you have to work with us and hear our voices.

“I want to make people aware of the true Aboriginal history,” she said.

“If you want to really understand an Aboriginal person, you have to look at the Aboriginal history from their lens.”

Miss Stanley is proud to be able to use her passion for culture and people to enhance the knowledge of others.

“It’s a blessing to be given an opportunity to educate people about my culture that will reflect and make a positive difference in the community,” she said.

“This scholarship is for me to promote more culture and educate people which in time might

influence positive change in the community.

“If you want to make things more united, you have to have a place of understanding and appreciation.

“Aboriginal business is everybody’s business. I celebrate my Aboriginality every day.

I just don’t want to come to work and leave. I want to ensure my presence here is making an Aboriginal cultural difference.”

Pat Dixon was the first Aboriginal woman elected to Local Government in Australia and served on Armidale City Council for 17 years.

Motherly love: Jo Efoti

Jo Efoti always wanted a large family. That dream eventually came true, but not as she’d imagined before fate stepped in. Although cruelly robbed of the opportunity to give birth to her own babies, Jo has drawn on a deep well of love to become “mother” to an adopted son as well as a number of fragile children – 27 and counting – over her years as a foster carer.

On the eve of Mother’s Day, JEN COWLEY talked to Jo about the sometimes-bittersweet celebration of motherhood in all its different forms.

THERE’S a forthrightness about Jo Efoti that can at first be slightly intimidating.

She’ll fix you with a no-nonsense gaze, speaking directly without wasting time or breath on idle chit chat. This is not a woman who minces words.

With a full-time job, a hectic schedule of community commitments and a family to help care for, who could blame her?

But there’s also a warmth that radiates from Jo like a big old blanket you just instinctively know she’ll wrap around you should you need it.

Just ask the 27 vulnerable young souls who have come into this remarkable woman’s orbit over the past 13 years since she first became a foster carer.

••• FIVE days after the young, fifth generation Grenfell farm-raised Jo became engaged to her Tongan beau, Bruno Efoti, came an unwelcome bolt from the blue – a cervical cancer diagnosis. Three weeks later, Jo had a hysterectomy. She was 26.

The couple’s “whole world was tipped upside down” she says.

“It meant we had to renavigate what life would look like for us.”

But fate wasn’t quite done with the young newlyweds and eight weeks after they were married, the cancer came back. Treatment came with complications and, ultimately, menopause.

The last vestiges of the couple’s dream of a large brood of children vanished into thin air, but not the yearning for family.

“Once I had the all clear from cancer, we were able to plan for the future but we didn’t know what that would look like,” Jo tells me as we sit in the unseasonably warm afternoon sunshine outside her office at Macquarie Homestay, a community-supported accommodation facility for regional people undergoing medical treatment and their families. (It comes as no surprise that this, a facility based on human care and kindness, is where she spends her working day.)

Her husband Bruno – well known for his men’s mental health advocacy work – is Tongan and one of eight children, while Jo always wanted seven babies: “I don’t know why, I guess it was just a lucky number,” she shrugs.

Her luck, if you can call it that, came from a different direction – from across the Pacific Ocean.

“Part of the Tongan culture is to

“give” babies away to family members who can’t have children,” she says.

“Because I’m not Tongan, Bruno and I decided we wouldn’t follow the precise cultural procedure, which is to actually ask for a baby.

We left it up to God, really. “We realised this had to be something we couldn’t control, so we didn’t ask – we just left it to Him. “Then one of the women Bru-

no’s mother does weaving with (in Tonga) said, “Oh, we have a baby they can have,” and so that’s how we came to have our son.”

Jo offers all this so matter-of-factly I feel almost silly that I’m struggling to wrap my head around the yawning cultural gap surrounding such a “transaction”, but she understands completely.

“I know. For Australians, it’s a foreign concept to ask someone for their child, and I struggled with it too. I really did, but I trusted Bruno to lead me. For him, this cultural practice was perfectly normal, it’s part of life.

Some 75 per cent of the women in Tonga have offered up their baby to a family member. The idea is that it’s all family anyway,” she explains.

As if sensing the question, she tells me that adoption here in Australia wasn’t an option.

“We were with (Christian missionary organisation) Cornerstone

Community at the time, so we didn’t have the usual average job and address and financial resources, so adoption here was completely out of the question for us.

“It worked out well anyway, because we were related to the baby via both Bruno’s parents and the baby’s parents. So it really is family. It felt like a wise and safe thing.”

I comment that it’s the ultimate example of the notion of it taking a village to raise a child, and she seizes on the adage.

“It’s like they (Tongans) think, “We can’t stand the idea that you can’t have a child, so we’re going to give you one.

“For us, as Aussies, it’s such a hard thing to understand because our babies belong to us, but to Tongans, it’s about village and it’s about being part of that village, and yes, that a village raises the child anyway.

“It’s something we could well Jo Efoti was “supremely offended” by the number of children in out of home care in our region. So she rolled up her sleeves and became a foster carer. So far, she’s been “mum” to 27 youngsters and counting.

 I was determined that every child that went to bed in my house would go to bed knowing how loved they were.

Bruno and I share the idea that people need to know that precious thing about themselves, that they are loved.... 

apply in Australia much better than we do.”

••• WHICH brings us, neatly, to the question of how – and why – Jo and Bruno came to be foster carers, but even the shortest association with the big-hearted couple leaves no doubt.

They simply still had so much love to give.

Jo tells me of learning that in our region alone there are several hundred children at any one time living in motels on a regular basis.

“I’m offended by that,” she says with a vehemence that leaves no doubt as to her conviction. “And I said to Bruno that we have to do something about it.”

Her husband was equally horrified.

“There’s no foster system in Tonga because there, there’s no such thing as an orphan, there’s no such thing as an abandoned child. He just couldn’t conceive of anyone not wanting to care for a child.”

And that was that. The couple approached a private agency to start with, and shortly after had their first foster child, a boy, come to stay for what was to be a weeklong arrangement. That lad stayed for two and a half years.

“And now,” Jo says with a grin, “We’re up to number 27.”

I express surprise at the number, which I think is a staggering figure, but Jo assures me it’s a mere drop in the ocean in terms of the foster system.

••• MOST people would have two questions to ask, I venture, the first of which is how Jo copes with the “troubled” children, youngsters who are traumatised and behaviourally challenged as a result?

Again, Jo’s answer is simple and direct.

“I was determined that every child that went to bed in my house would go to bed knowing how loved they were. Bruno and I share the idea that people need to know that precious thing about themselves, that they are loved.”

In her younger years, Jo ran a homeless centre for children on Sydney’s northern beaches, so was able to bring that experience in the social welfare space to her role as foster mum. She also did “a whole heap of research”.

“I made it my job to learn as

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

on fate, family and faith much as I could. These kids need to know they’re worth that work.”

It’s clear there’s more to this role than just providing board and lodgings.

“Oh, totally,” she says nodding vigorously. “If you’re getting a child who is more needy, then you need to be more qualified.

“I find it frustrating to ask other foster carers what they’ve done to be more qualified and they haven’t done anything.

“It’s not a voluntary job – we are reimbursed – so it’s up to us to learn. If you don’t go out of your way to learn how best to care for these kids, you’re not doing anyone any favours.

So apart from good will, good intention and the power to love, what makes a good foster carer?

“The willingness to learn, to acknowledge that your status quo is not the child’s status quo and also to access support. Here in our region, that means calling me, or someone like me. There’s lots of support out there.

I ask the second of the questions I think most people would ask: How do you give a child back?

Jo smiles. “That’s the most common question, by far.”

She goes on to tell me a story that clearly still makes her heart ache, and as she talks, I feel my own ticker cracking a little.

“One of our first foster children, a boy, came to us at the age of 12 and we only had him for a week,” she says, explaining some of the challenges the damaged youngster was facing.

“At the end of that week, I gave him a quilt that said, “Never forget how loved you are” and he left.

“About three years later, a bus went past me and this kid hung his head out the window and yelled “Jo!” and waved – he remembered me. That was years ago.

She goes on to say that about two years ago came a message through Facebook from the lad who had been searching for them.

“He listed all the things we’d done together in that week all those years ago. He remembered the name of our dog. He remembered the colour of the motorbike we took him riding on that week.

“He said, “You made me feel like I was valuable and that I could do

anything.”

Through misty eyes, Jo tells me that not long after that message came the news of this young man’s death.

“The thing is, I didn’t give him back,” she says, and now we’re both crying.

“I never “gave” him back. I never give them “back”. I keep them all in my thoughts and heart and my prayers.

“What I know with confidence is that Bruno and I have deposited love into those children’s lives – those kids are walking around knowing there are at least TWO people who love them.”

••• FOR Jo Efoti, motherhood is a roller coaster ride that takes many turns and comes in many different forms but has one common thread.

“It’s about putting in as much love as you can. Getting children ready to be the best adults they can be, whether they’re your own children, or foster children.”

I ask if she thinks we prepare young people well enough to be parents themselves, and before

the question has even finished leaving my lips, she answers with one word, said firmly and fiercely: “No. “No.” I pause to let her expand, but she just leaves the word hanging, giving it even more power.

So what can we do better?

“We need to teach them how to have good relationships, and that ties in with what Bruno and I do in other facets of our life, which is to encourage the building of resilience and communication, so that young people can say, “This is how I’m feeling...” We need to teach them to deal with their own emotions, so they’re ready to put in to the next generation, and to be ready to listen to and heed the help when it comes.”

The fact that society doesn’t train young people for the most important job in the world is anathema to Jo, and she is frustrated by what she sees is the absence of a willingness on the part of so many parents to accept responsibility.

“We have to have accountability. My case worker regularly

comes to my house to do inspections. She comes every month and we sit down and talk about what my children have been achieving and all that sort of stuff.

“So I’ve been under examination now as a parent for 13 years straight.

“But no-one’s doing that examination at the other end, where these children come from. There’s absolutely no accountability.

“As a person who hasn’t been able to give birth, I get supremely offended by the idea that you can just pop out a baby and then not take responsibility for it.

“If you want to work hard to be a better mum, I’ll be your best supporter, your biggest cheerleader.

“But if you’re lying on the lounge scrolling through social media and your kid is screaming its lungs out with hunger and you can’t be bothered, I’m your most ardent critic.”

Mrs Jo Efoti – wife, mother, foster carer, humanitarian – fixes me with one of her blazing gazes, leaving me with no doubt as to the fact that she’s the right person for the job.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

The knowin’ don’t cause the trouble The Editor, Well, I don’t use a computer, I can barely use a mobile phone except for messages.

I’m too deaf to hear radio or TV. I didn’t even pass the third year of high school.

It’s always been my hope to not be fooled by propaganda.

I’ve heard about carbon footprints, but I haven’t found any yet – I’m so dumb I don’t even know what a carbon looks like.

Obviously, I need some education before I die so I can catch up, and considering how I feel, it will have to be soon. These carbons are proving to be sneaky, but if I hang in there I should find some soon.

Anyway, the air still seems as fresh to me as it did 70 odd years ago.

An old outback bush philosopher once said. “It ain’t so much not knowin’ that causes the trouble, as knowin’ so much that ‘aint so.”

Poor ‘petiquette’ a distraction for Guide Dogs

The Editor, It has been revealed that over 40 per cent of Guide Dogs Handlers across Australia have reported an increase in their Guide Dogs having to deal with distractions from pet dogs and owners in the past 12 months.

On International Guide Dog Day, April 28, we at Guide Dogs Australia focussed on what the community can do to help Guide Dogs carry on their important work safely and undistracted.

International Guide Dog Day was about recognising the important role Guide Dogs play in supporting people worldwide with low vision or blindness to achieve their goals and live independently.

Thanks from the Warren The past year has thrown everyone Chamber Music Festival challenges and while pets brought so The Editor, much joy to Australian homes during Thank you Dubbo Photo News so the pandemic, reduced socialisation much for the wonderful editorial and training of pets during lockdowns about the Warren Chamber Music Fes- can lead to poor ‘petiquette’.

Pet dogs that are off-lead, or uncontrolled even when on leads, are a common distraction for Guide Dog Handlers. Also, people with dogs not making themselves known before approaching a Handler and their Guide Dog can be a ‘petiquette’ issue – with 40 per cent of Handlers telling us they experience this weekly.

This can lead to situations where the safety of Guide Dog Handlers and Guide Dogs is put at risk due to disorientation and other factors, and also causes much anxiety.

While you or your pet dog may not intend any harm, for someone with low vision or blindness, a distracted Guide Dog can be hazardous.

We’re asking everyone to keep their pet dog on a leash in the presence of Guide Dogs. If you see a working Guide Dog in public while you are with your dog, give the Handler space and never pat, feed, whistle or otherwise try to distract a working Guide Dog. Dale Cleaver, CEO of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT

Ruling the world: democracy changes its definition ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection

DURING the course of human history, the manner in which groups of people and countries have established disciplines and controls has evolved. Just released is an updated edition of “1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed” by author Eric Cline in which he describes the marauding groups known as the “Sea Peoples” invading Egypt.

“The Pharaoh’s army and navy defeated them but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did the surrounding civilisations,” he writes.

It is an interesting parallel for our modern times where remote identities focus on the powerful and significantly undermine the formal establishments.

Author A.C. Grayling has written “Democracy & its Crisis” which was prompted by the EU referendum in the UK and the presidential election in the USA. He writes, “No const it ut iona l system should allow a group to hijack the interests of the whole:

this is happening in the UK and the US... It is therefore a matter of urgency we return our advanced politics to their democratic roots.”

He considers moments in history – Periclean Athens, the English Civil War, and the American and French Revolutions among them – in which the challenges we face today were earlier encountered, and what solutions, however imperfect, were found.

The USA Election conducted in November 2020 and its outcome have seen various issues that challenge the views so many people in Democratic countries hold. Trump’s refusal to accept the polls either identifies a poor loser or a manipulation of polling results.

Barry Jones is the author of “What Is To Be Done” which follows his 1982 book “When Sleepers Wake” which featured the impacts of information technology and the emergence of a post-industrial society. His new book focuses on work, class, social relationships and climate and their challenges to fragile democracies and public institutions.

Ross Garnaut has written “Reset: Restoring Australia After the Great Crash of 2020”. He sees that the COVID-19 crisis offers Australia the opportunity to reset its economy and build a successful future, and why

the old approaches will not work.

The book explores the impact of what “decoupling” with China and America will mean for us.

He sees that the world is entering the deepest recession since the 1930s and current agendas will not work.

Ideas for rebuilding the country and restoring existing strengths and other initiatives are needed.

We don’t want to see industrial businesses such as General Motors and others closing down, and our reliance on China to import our agricultural and other primary products are real challenges.

“An Uncivil War” has been written by Greg Sargent in which he examines the political strategies of Donald Trump.

Sargent includes the mechanism before Trump was elected President, examining the issues he implemented to challenge Hillary Clinton.

Research companies Pew Research and Bright Line Watch undertook comprehensive studies of the 2016 election and found that Trump had low ratings, that there was “a lack of transparency into the funding campaigns, biased drawing of electoral districts, and a low voter participation in elections.

Broadly, public trust in government itself has steadily declined in the last two decades.”

Once in office, to quote the text, “it took less than a year and a half to pass the 3200 mark in false or misleading statements – after a campaign in which he lied and dissembled almost incessantly.”

“By the simplest of measures, neither Britain nor the United States can claim to be truly dem-

ocratic. By the most basic tenet of democracy is that government is ‘by the people for the people’ rather than their stature of elective dictatorships.” That quote is from A.C. Grayling’s “The Good State” in which he defines the principles of democracy and makes a case for a coherent constitutional order with a clear separation of powers, ensuring that government represents the interests of one section – and not always even a majority – of the whole.

And Australia follows similar trends.

Hardly a day goes by when we don’t learn of some scam or inappropriate influence of money.

A recent book is “Kleptopia” by Tom Burgis which investigates how dirty money is conquering the world. They are everywhere – the thieves and their people.

Until now we have detected their presence only by what they leave behind – a body in a burnedout Audi, workers riddled with bullets in the Kazakh desert, a rigged election in Zimbabwe, a British banker silenced for trying to expose the truth about the City of London.

These money people have amassed more cash than most countries, but what they are really stealing is power.

The threats to democracy are examined by Philip Coggan in “The Last Vote”. Democracy is so much a part of Western lives that

it is easy to think that it takes care of itself. However amid the political and financial turmoil, can we really afford to take it for granted any more?

The author examines what democracy really is, why we should value it, and asks what could we do better. We only need to look at Russia and China and see the consequences of dictatorships.

Not much has changed as humans aim to take over the elected authorities. It doesn’t have to be that way. There are those who aim to dominate, there are those who wish to serve.

When working in the USA in the 1970s, I was in the foyer of a motel waiting to be driven to a factory. On the wall was a frame showing the “Lincoln Walk”. A senior local man explained to me the detail – the walk from Abraham Lincoln’s home to his chambers, the law-court, the church and two other places.

He went on to explain how Lincoln was asked to compile the Articles Of Association for a group of early settlers further north to establish a town. Having done this, the locals examined the text and came back later saying, “We are so impressed with the standard of your document that we want to name the town Lincoln.”

To which he replied, “I wouldn’t do that – anything with a name like that will never amount to anything.”

It is hard to find a representative of the people like that today.

Enjoy your browsing, Dave Pankhurst

THIS year, three pre-decimal pennies were used on ANZAC Day to benefit the Macquarie Homestay.

Dubbo identity, Barry Brebner provided the old pennies to Devil’s Hollow Brewery at BlueRidge Business Park for them to organise a couple of hours enjoyment for patrons playing “Two Up”.

Many of the patrons had never played “Two Up” before and those in attendance said it was a great experience. They commented that they looked forward to playing the game next ANZAC Day. Devil’s Hollow Brewery co-owner Ceridwyn Usback said that even though this was the first time they had provided such an event, patrons had really enjoyed the day.

One patron in uniform, visiting Dubbo for the first time, after attending the Dawn Service managed to throw four heads in a row.

He appeared more than happy to collect some money from the locals. His win brought hand clapping from the crowd and encouraged others to have a turn at throwing the coins.

During the afternoon Spinners were able to make a donation to Macquarie Homestay with $200 being raised.

The money was presented to Macquarie Homestay representative Rod Crowfoot by Ms Usback and Mrs Knaggs. When presented with the funds, Rod thanked the brewery for their efforts and advised that the funds would be placed in the reserve account to go towards the next stage of Macquarie Homestay.

During discussions Rod also advised that he had never played “Two Up” before but would try to attend a game next year.

The vintage pennies have now been returned to Barry’s care; their work completed for another year!

Big little boost as Rotary sees cream of the crop A GROUP of local dairy devotees had their timing spot on last week when they visited a popular regional producer at Rawsonville just as a half-million-dollar government grant was announced to help create more jobs in the industry.

As part of one of its regular “excursions” into the community, the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie visited The Little Big Dairy Company (LBDC) to see how the popular operation ticks, and were happy to hear from their hosts, Erika and Steve Chesworth, that the state government’s Regional Job Creation Fund had seen fit to award a $500K grant to help with infrastructure upgrades that will generate new employment opportunities.

Among the Rotarians are a number with deep roots in primary industry and farming, and it was an eye opener for members to see just how scientific a process dairy farming is these days.

Erika and Steve took the members on a tour of the dairy, explaining the extremely sophisticated procedures that underlies the secret to Little Big Dairy Company’s success: the absolute integrity of the single-source milk and the products derived from it.

Steve Chesworth, from Little Big Dairy Company, explains to Rotarians just how scientific and high-tech a process it is to produce the business’ sought-after single source milk. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED

Steve explained how the 800-strong herd of Holstein cattle is born and raised on the farm at Rawsonville, outside Dubbo, which allows each and every one of the millions of litres produced each year to be traced right back to the cow from which it came. He took time to walk the members through the increasingly technical process that has taken the operation from family farm to hightech cream of the crop benchmark in the Australian dairy industry.

with bottles of seriously good LBDC flavoured milk – Erika gave the Rotarians a rundown on the post production side of the business, including how each of the products is made and how the fascinating process of telling the family business’ story helped make LBDC such a sought after product in a competitive market.

The newly announced grant will be put towards building a new shed for storage and office space, along with the purchase of a fully automatic wraparound case packing machine, which will make a

significant difference to output while at the same time reducing production costs.

This in turn will allow LBDC to employ more staff.

In announcing the grant, Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the grant would enable improved efficiency and reduce waste by up to 40 per cent and double the capacity to produce milk to 10 million litres by 2024.

The project will also upskill existing employees and will see the number of people employed go from the existing 40 to double that over the next three years.

May 6-12, 2021 Dubbo Photo News

Book ‘em, Dubbo: Rotary’s big weekend MEMBERS of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie are breathing a sigh of satisfied relief after closing the book on one of the biggest annual fundraising events in the club’s near28-year history.

After nearly two years’ preparation – thanks to Covid scuttling last year’s event – the 2021 Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair saw a record number of preloved books go up for sale across a weekend that raised welcome funds for two well-loved worthy causes.

Named in memory of one of the club’s founding members whose life was cut cruelly short by cancer, the proceeds from the annual book fair go in equal parts to the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s Dubbo Support Group and cancer research.

Over the course of the weekend, hundreds of ardent bibliophiles came through the doors of the Centenary Pavilion at Dubbo Showground, where they were treated to a smorgasbord of some 45,000 books ranging across all shapes, sizes and genres.

Book Fair coordinator Peter English estimates proceeds from the two-day

sale will be up by about 1520 per cent on 2019’s takings, a silver lining to the Covid cloud, he says.

“During the pandemic and the restrictions imposed, people turned to books even more during lockdown and many rediscovered the simple pleasure of reading. People also used the time to have a clear out. We’ve been the beneficiary of both activities.”

The event is a massive undertaking for the club, and Mr English says it would not be possible without the generous support of organisations such as LeaderLife, which sent a team to assist with the set-up, and the RFDS Support Group whose members work tirelessly at each event to help ensure its success.

“Most of all, though,” he said, “We are so grateful for the support and generosity of the community in not only donating books, but coming along over the weekend to restock their book cases.”

The club will now take a little break from collecting donated books, but assures community members they’ll be advised when collections resume to begin stocking up for next year.

The team from LeaderLIfe was on hand to help prepare for the book fair, with Mal Dixon, Alex Boney, Kyle Boney and Mel Singh pitching in to set up the children’s book table. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED

ADVERTORIAL

TESTIMONIALS “I heard about the HIPPY program a few years ago and was eager for my daughters to be involved once they reached the appropriate age. I wasn’t sure what to expect, however after meeting those involved in the program and receiving our box and first packs, I realised that it exceeded my expectation. In the weeks since we have started, I have gained a better understanding of my daughters learning. We have really enjoyed doing the activities and knowing I’m helping her with new concepts and ideas. It’s becoming a special time during our week where it’s something that the two of us do together.”- Renee “Rory is in his second year of HIPPY. The HIPPY program has helped him be more confident and has helped get him ready for kindy this year. It has helped with his love of learning new things and has also helped his concentration.

The HIPPY program has been great for family interaction, and more importantly the one-on-one time between a parent and child.

Rory has come out of his shell a lot more since being involved with HIPPY.”- Mel

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

FRAN ELLIS CANASSIST

Fran Ellis is no stranger to volunteering having been president and volunteer with the Red Cross in Warren for 30 years, current president of CanAssist Dubbo, and also volunteers with the Pink Ladies at Dubbo Hospital and Royal Flying Doctor Service.

How long have you been volunteering with CanAssist?

15 years. I didn’t have a personal reason for joining. It was just through a friend and thought it was a worthwhile cause but it’s rewarding being able to help someone in need.

What do you do in your volunteer role?

I’m the president and generally oversee all the functions, meetings and try to coordinate everyone. We do have quite a large membership here in Dubbo but we always welcome new members.

Is CanAssist part of a larger organisation?

It’s an NSW charity. There are 55 country branches. There is a very small head office in Sydney. Administration costs are at an absolute minimum, so the money stays in the country.

Where do your funds go?

Sponsored by

We only help local people. All the money raised stays here to help local people. It doesn’t go off to paying salaries or anything like that. Our money just goes directly to local people who are in trouble financially because of their cancer diagnosis. Dubbo and District branch goes up to Lightning Ridge, out to Bourke and Cobar and all in between, out to Wellington and Coonabarabran. It covers a big area.

Who receives your help?

Every branch has its own criteria but here, we’ll accept anyone who has a medical referral from a medical professional. They send us the bills. We don’t hand out cash, we pay the bills. So, we’ll pay, accommodation, transport, electricity, water, rates, green slips, pharmaceutical bills.

Basically, because a lot of cancer patients can’t work sometimes you get two in the one household, you can get a husband and wife, or a child and a mother or something, and it does happen. So, their income can be non-existent.

Sometimes we help with dental bills because they can’t have chemotherapy until their teeth are right, because the chemotherapy

will affect their teeth.

Are you all volunteers?

Yes. All very hard-working volunteers. Everybody can choose their role basically. For a fundraising function like the garden day, they can help by making slices, selling raffle tickets. We’ve got some wonderful people who make little bears and fig jam, do the potting: all our plants

on the stall at the garden day were done by volunteers.

Whatever you want to do, that’s fine. We just try to work it that way. It works for all abilities.

How often does CanAssist meet?

We meet at the Macquarie Club at 5pm, every second Wednesday. New members are welcome.

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.

“Big Mick”: Tough as nails; soft as butter

By MARTIN COOK THE Dubbo CYMS community is in mourning after the loss of the legendary Mick Wilson.

Described by president Mick Fraser as “one of the all-time greatest contributors to our club both on and off the field,” Mick Wilson was a truly remarkable man who was as tough and uncompromising as he was compassionate and generous.

A man who, as a feared front rower, played first grade football in the world’s toughest competition, with the Cronulla Sharks in their inaugural season.

Yet wasn’t afraid to shed tears as he walked his three daughters down the aisle.

A man who, as St John’s JRL and CYMS clubman Andy Haycock calls “the billion dollar man”, made his way to the top of the NSW Department of Public Works where he oversaw the construction of projects worth billions of dollars including Silverwater Jail and refurbishing Long Bay, construction of the Sydney Convention Centre at Cockle Bay and development and improvement of many TAFE colleges across NSW. Yet he wasn’t too proud to cook snags on the BBQ, week in, week out for Dubbo CYMS and St John’s on game days.

Mick Wilson was a winner in all aspects of his life and he showed that winning was as much about presence, perseverance and hard work as it was about talent.

But he had plenty of talent, just ask brother in-law and CYMS teammate Pat Yeo: “I felt so sorry for those who played against him. He gave everything in every tackle.

You could hear the thud in the grandstand.

“Everyone remembers him as a tough enforcer but he was also very fast. A lot couldn’t get near him,” Pat fondly recalls.

It’s no coincidence then that Mick was there when CYMS won

their first piece of Group XI silverware – the Juniors premiership of 1960 and again when they went back-to-back in 1961.

In 1962, a work opportunity took Mick to Forbes so he had a year with the Forbes Magpies.

Mick’s winning ways followed him. He played an instrumental role as Forbes won their second Group XI first grade premiership under captain coach Fred King.

Mick returned to Dubbo CYMS and he continued to impress. In 1966 Mick was selected to represent Western Division against the touring Great Britain team in Parkes. It was here he caught the eye of St George legend Ken Kearney who had signed on to coach Cronulla in their inaugural season of 1967.

Mick was proudly the 19th player to represent the Cronulla-Suth-

erland Sharks.

He bought his winning attitude back to Dubbo CYMS in 1969 after his successful two year foray with the Sharks.

CYMS had joined group XI in 1958 but were yet to win a first grade premiership.

Mick’s return, along with CYMS’ signing of ex Wallaby and Eastern Suburbs Roosters’ half Ken McMullen, buoyed the green and white faithful.

However, in 1969, CYMS were still the massive underdogs as they had been wooden spooners in 1968. Parkes won their way to the grand final undefeated.

CYMS scraped through the minor-semi over Forbes 17-16, then defeated Narromine 19-8 in the final.

CYMS took some confidence out of holding Parkes to a 7-all draw

in round one of the regular season and it was 8-2 to Parkes in the second game.

Even in the decider, a win was looking unlikely as Parkes led 7-3 at the break. But Mick Wilson led the way in the second half, allowing Gary Yeo to score two tries in the famous victory, CYMS first in Group XI history.

Mick loved his wife Penny and together they formed a wonderful family. He is survived by Penny and children Luke, Bernard, Odette, Gabrielle, Fleur, Dominic and Nicholas and their families.

As a great family man, Mick’s winning edge has been handed down. Mick and Penny’s progeny have left an indelible mark on the Dubbo CYMS club.

Mick’s four sons all played for CYMS. CYMS were in their longest ever premiership drought be-

By GEOFF MANN THE likeable multi-sport loving Nathan Astri has taken out the 2021 Men’s trophy following strong performances throughout the two-day Club Championship tournament. It was a just reward for a young man who has practised hard since his days on the courts as junior.

The Women’s Trophy went to Zillah Rogers who had a strong win against Chrissi Johnson.

fore son Bernard returned from stints at Norths and Balmain, joining with his brother Nic to see the Group XI premiership trophy back the Dubbo CYMS cabinet in 2001.

Nic and Bernard went on to win four premierships in a row, among others, starting a very successful 20 year period for the club.

Nic may have retired after a cameo in the President’s Cup of 2019 but Mick Wilson’s legacy continues today. Grandkids Joden, Demi, Kobi, Riley and Jai have all played in Green and White. Demi (league tag) and Riley and Jai (under 18s) were instrumental in CYMS’ big wins over Parkes on Saturday.

CYMS stalwart Andrew Hamblin, who had weekly coffees with Mick, spoke of his great “knowledge and wisdom”. In his unique way, Mick imparted this wisdom and his generosity on so many people with whom he interacted.

Mick will be remembered for his amazing contribution to the CYMS club. The Fishies’ faithful will forever remember the massive impact he has had on them individually and the many times he went out of his way to assist in so many different ways.

May he Rest In Peace.

RSL bowlers back on the greens AFTER a Sunday off to remember the fallen, 39 dedicated RSL Combination bowlers turned up for potentially their last May games on the hallowed turf greens.

Helen Emblem, Julie Brown and Roger Sherwin proved to be best on the day, narrowly defeating Frank Vaughan, Shirley Marchant and Graham Ross.

The only “rester” was Tod O’Dea who capped a great weekend in Victoria Park. On Saturday afternoon he was part of The Fishpond that paid tribute to the late Mick Wilson with four great Group XI wins against Parkes on No 1 Oval.

Lucky numbers went to Judy Knight, Bryan O’Sullivan and Alan Stratford who are planning to back it up with more good fortune this Sunday, Mothers’ Day. Although “Stratty” will be ineligible as the winning raffle has to be a mum!

Fishies win for Mick

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL THE green and white teams wore black armbands in honour of CYMS Life Member Mick Wilson who died suddenly last Friday night.

The “Reggie” Reserves won 48-6, the League Tag girls held off Indian Draper and her Spacecats 24-18, Juniors thumped Parkes 58-4 before first grade started the new season with a convincing victory.

The Fishies blending of local juniors and new signings faced stiff opposition early but turned a 10-all scoreline near halftime into a rout with new coach Shawn Townsend calling on a sizeable bench to put the Spacemen to the sword.

AFL Juniors rule the roost in 2021

By MERINDA ROLLS, DUBBO DEMONS JUNIOR AFL PRESIDENT

WE kicked off Round 1 of our first day with four teams playing on the park!

It was exciting, great morale and history in the making with our first ever Youth Girls outfit and U17’s under our junior banner.

Our U12’s took home a win.

U14’s, YG and U17’s didn’t take home the four points but most certainly showcased some brilliant footy and all teams will strength-

en as the rounds play out.

Our U14 Coach is our first female coach – Carmen Armour and what a brilliant display of skills her U14’s showcased to the biggest crowd we have seen at the Dubbo Juniors home game at South Dubbo Park (around 200).

Many of our players have been training since February and participated in the AFL 9’s competition on top of leading into the pre-season – the confidence and skills of each player who has committed to this tougher than usual training regime for our junior

club most certainly have come off fitter and confident as a result.

We do have many new players in that they have not played competition AFL however, they have had a history of rugby league and once they find their momentum with the flow of the AFL game big things will occur.

I cannot wait for all our four teams to provide such great footy in the weeks to come!

A one-minute silence was held prior to each game yesterday and all Dubbo Junior players wore black arm bands in remembrance

of the Mayall family who lost their dad in June last year.

Very proud of every player embracing this moment in a show of respect and support for the Mayall family who have been a part of the Dubbo Juniors since their establishment back in 2014.

Auskick has commenced and with numbers double those of last year. Auskick Coach Rachel Fairman has been kept busy. Auskick is every Friday 4.30 to 5.45 up at South Dubbo Oval and Junior training commences for all teams from 5.30 to 6.30 pm.

Dubbo urged to show its true colours

By GEOFF MANN WHEN South Sydney and Penrith Panthers hit the streets of Dubbo for their top of the table NRL clash later this month, the players should be in no doubt about business and fan support.

The streets will be a cascade of

colour for the “Festival of Footy” to herald in teams for the historic first NRL competition game in the capital of the west.

“Rabbito, rabbito” was the call of the hawkers selling their wares around Redfern when the famous club led the change from Union to league in 1908. Penrith

had to wait nearly 60 years till their emergence at the foot of the mountains where the mythical panther roams.

South’s reputation as the darlings of the bush has been seriously challenged by Isaah Yeo and his strong armoury of western-bred players. Matt Burton, Charlie

Blues captain’s cuddle for Molly

By JOHN RYAN BACK in June 2019, Dubbo’s Molly Croft met one of her idols, NSW Blue’s women’s captain Kezie Apps, with the rugby league star presenting her personalised footy boot to her own “real-life hero”, the young cancer survivor.

Fast-forward to April 30 this year and Kezie had scheduled a Zoom catch-up with her mate Molly as her school, Dubbo’s St John’s College was celebrating Footy Colours Day, a national fundraising campaign that helps kids with cancer – both are ambassadors for the campaign.

Staff and students shared in Molly’s gobsmacked surprise

when Kezie showed up to St Johns College in person.

“I just kinda stood still, my mouth was open and I looked at her and thought, “Is she really here?”. I was a bit shocked. I didn’t know what to say”, Molly told Dubbo Photo News.

Kezie said, “Look at me, I’m here, give me a cuddle!”

Molly said Kezie has been one of her idols “for ever”.

“Before I was diagnosed and went to Westmead for treatment, I had been in contact with Kez and she came out to visit me. We had been friends for it seemed like forever but through that time I think we got even closer.”

For her part, Kezie says Molly

is “amazing”.

“Molly just reminded me I sent her a video of my career before we got to meet properly at a function at ANZ Stadium. We were all sitting at the same table – Molly, her parents and some others from the hospital,” the footy star said.

“They were such a beautiful family. It just reminded me of my own because I’m a country girl from Bega on the south coast and I really felt for them all going through such a hard time, especially as Molly was so young.

“She had her whole sporting career in front of her and it was horrible to hear that she would not be able to live out those

dreams.”

Kezie believes Molly is still a superstar, just not on the courts, and says to have her hopes shattered must have been devastating. The rugby league star is full of admiration that the youngster has picked herself up and is now doing so much for others.

“We’ve become very good friends. She’s so beautiful and her family is so beautiful so when I knew the Footy Colours Day was happening in Dubbo I said to my manager, “Why don’t I fly out and surprise her?”

Molly says she looks up to Kezie and the Australian Jillaroo says she’s proud to be Molly’s role model.

The students and teachers at St Johns paid a gold coin to wear their club’s colours in a tribute to Molly and her fund-raising efforts for cancer support.

Mum Ange was over the moon at Kezie’s surprise visit.

“I have no words for what happened today,” she said.

“What an amazing surprise when Kezie walked into Moll’s school today – Kezie, we can’t thank you enough. Moll puts on a brave face everyday, but some days are harder than others. You turning up today was on cue, perfect in every way.

“Forever grateful. Blessed.”

10 reasons why you should be advertising in Dubbo Photo News 1. Newspapers are trusted Ads in newspapers rank as the most trusted. That’s because more people trust their local newspaper and the content in it – including your ads.

Research has shown consumers are not only open to print advertising, they rely on it as an essential shopping tool when making purchasing decisions.

4. Newspapers help brands stay top of mind Standing out from competitors in a crowded ad market has never been harder. Newspapers outperform nine of the ten tested media platforms for gaining cut through and lifting recall, with an average of one-in-three buyers (39 per cent) saying they recall seeing a print ad at the outset of their buying cycle.

5. Newspapers trigger call-to-action beyond other media Research shows readers are more likely to act on an ad they’ve seen in their local newspaper, rather than on TV or radio.

Consumers give newspapers their undivided attention and actively consume content.

8. Regular readers have strong spending power According to a report from The Works, regular newspaper readers earn aboveaverage salaries.

Regular print readers earn more than the typical Australian. Their average salary is $84,178 pa, which outstrips by $8697 the wage earned by the average non-newspaper reader ($75,481 pa).

Advertisers looking to reach the wealthiest shoppers should be in their local newspaper.

9. Newspapers are immediate and timely Short deadlines allow ads to run faster. This makes newspapers a great environment for topical advertising, and perfect for brands that are market sensitive.
