K L A T L L A M S HELPING KIDS COPE THROUGH COVID

By JEN COWLEY EVEN for adults, the saturation of Covid-19 media coverage and constant conversation can at times become overwhelming, so imagine how potentially alarming that relentless exposure can be for children.

As the global pandemic came to Dubbo’s doorstep last week, closing schools and affecting young people as never before, some local parents have noticed a growing anxiousness among children.

Concern for vulnerable communities

By NATALIE LEWIS DEPUTY Premier John Barilaro says the NSW Government is focused on protecting and increasing resources to vulnerable communities, as Covid-19 surges into western NSW. “We still have lots of concerns about Dubbo and western NSW. We are continuing to forge our resources into those areas. We are continually testing and updating health numbers but community vaccination rates are our number one concern.”

The spread of Covid-19 across Dubbo and adjoining LGAs is particularly worrying for health authorities.

“It’s a concerning situation we are in but I’m confident we can get through if we increase vaccination rates and stick to the rules.”

Abattoir shuts the gate on potential threat

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S largest private employer has shut the doors for a week in order to head off a potential Covid Delta outbreak at Fletcher International’s meat processing plant.

While no-one in the workforce has tested positive for Covid-19, many locals have been identified as close or casual contacts and the company says it would be madness to tempt fate.

Roger Fletcher said talking to company clients and partners in more than 100 different countries had given his management team plenty of expertise in how best to combat the new, virulent strain of the virus.

“It’s unbelievable, the problems around the world,” Mr Fletcher told Dubbo Photo News, “Places like Vietnam, Malaysia, Korea, all these places we’re dealing with all the time, we get the word straight from them about the problems and potential solutions, so we see things differently from people back in Australia just gossiping about things.

“Korea had been completely on top of the virus and now Delta has virtually shut them down – this Delta has blown up like a rocket.

“We have customers all around the world who have airlines, cruise ships, shopping centres and they’ve been in the thick of it every minute of the day, and we’ve learnt from them.”

Mr Fletcher said he was using his usual business approach of applying common sense and practicality to the problems confront-

ing the nation and likened his voluntary seven-day shut-down to putting out a small fire before it had the chance to grow into a wildfire.

“There’s no point in waiting until we’ve got a hell of a mess happening and then trying to unravel it,” he said. “You’ve got to shut the gate to stop the horse from bolting.

“We’re doing this now as a preventative measure – prevention is far better than cure – and

we’re preparing to come out of it quickly.

“We have a vaccination program (in place), everyone’s pulling together as this is one way out of this, so we’re working as a team.”

The sheepmeat magnate said many parts of the world had been learning lessons from the Covid-19 crisis and he believes Australia needs to take stock and reprioritise in many aspects of society.

“The whole world’s pulling together and that’s really good,” Mr Fletcher said.

“We’ve got people working for us who have come from countries from all around the world and for some of them, their parents have died and they can’t get home.

“The lesson that’s come out of this pandemic is that we need to look after our people, particularly our young people, we need to change things in a lot of ways.”

Sad scenes “disturbing” for veterans

By JOHN RYAN THE footage coming out of Afghanistan is incredibly disturbing for veterans of that conflict according to a former Dubbo army medic.

Clint Grose served in the Australian Army for more than two decades, including a seven-month stint in Afghanistan in 2012.

“As a 21-year veteran of

Former army medic Clint Grose says the double whammy of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions coinciding with vision of the chaos unfolding in Afghanistan could be a potent mental health pill for many veterans to swallow. He’s urging any former serving personnel who are struggling to reach out and seek assistance. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

the Australian Army, I find it very difficult to see the fall of Afghanistan in the media at the moment,” Mr Grose told Dubbo Photo News.

“But our veterans of all conflicts should be proud of their service, regardless of what war, peace-keeping or service they gave to Australia.

“Our local veteran community would welcome anyone that needs assistance, our local sub-branch is always willing to listen.”

Mr Grose is urging any former armed services personnel to not hesitate in contacting the Dubbo RSL Sub Branch via social media or phone.

“The Dubbo sub-branch has members, young and old, and are a bunch of veterans who really do care,” he said.

AS Covid-19 runs rife in our locked-down community, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the state government is working hard to curb the spread, keep the community informed and increase vaccination rates.

“We are taking measures to protect vulnerable areas, stopping people moving around and we are really keen to get vaccination rates up,” she told regional media on Tuesday via an online press conference.

“Until now we have been able to protect the regions. But what we need to do as a government is keep the community safe and keep them up to date with what’s going on and advise the community on what we can do to support them,” she said.

Premier Berejiklian is concerned about Dubbo’s rising infection rate, and the impact that will have on vulnerable communities across Western NSW. “We have extra vaccinations going into Western NSW including Dubbo, our focus is on vulnerable communities,” she said.

As policing efforts amp up and the Australian Defence Force (ADF) was deployed, the Premier said there was a plan in place to increase Covid-19 immunisations.

“The Commonwealth Government has a national strategy for vaccinating indigenous populations with assistance from the ADF and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, we are extra concerned about vulnerable communities,” she said.

Premier Berejiklian also thanked members of regional media for their Covid-19 communications efforts as a trusted community information source.

Vax to the max at Gil WITH a shire population of 4500, Gilgandra has chalked up an incredible 1219 Covid vaccinations in the past week. Delivered in the Aspen Medical vaccination clinic, the immunisation effort was supported by local businesses, Gilgandra Pharmacy, Rural and Remote Medical Services Ltd and Brenshaw Medical Centre Gilgandra.

“Alpaca your bags”

TRIVIA TEST

Mumpreneur off to awards

By JOHN RYAN AMEE Dennis has been named as a finalist in the 2021 AusMumpreneur Awards and by any stretch of the imagination, she didn’t get there by any road well travelled.

She’s made the top lists in three different categories – product design, handmade business and remote and rural business – testament to the diverse nature of her achievements.

The AusMumpreneur Awards presented by The Women’s Business School celebrate and recognise Australian mums in business achieving outstanding success in areas such as business excellence, product development, customer service and digital innovation, with the awards designed to recognise the growing number of women who successfully balance motherhood and business in a way that suits their life and family.

Amee Dennis followed her heart by marrying a sheep and cattle farmer from Tomingley, making the move from her family’s cattle station in Central Australia in 2019 while the region was in the grip of the worst drought on record.

Using her skills and creativity as an artist, Amee made and developed a unique range of products from 100 per cent natural alpaca fibre, a resource that was readily available and otherwise wasted. The overwhelming consumer response was the catalyst to diversify their farm business into agri-tourism, where visitors can meet, interact and engage with the suppliers of her raw material, the alpaca herd.

Dubbo Photo News has featured the attraction and shown how visitors have full access to the small gallery and farm shop, seeing the range of handmade products first-hand and learning about life on the land, something Amee is particularly passionate about sharing.

She sat down to tell us how important being named a finalist is to her: Tell us about these awards.

The AusMumpreneur awards are all about supporting and celebrating mums in business, challenging the stereotypes and

raising awareness about the contributions made by women with young children to the Australian economy.

What makes you most chuffed that you’re a finalist?

I think what excites me most about these awards as a whole, and specifically the categories I’m a finalist in is that they recognise smaller businesses, and those that are not quite so mainstream!

The business we have now evolved from experimenting with the only resource I had at my disposal – alpaca fibre – and making a few products out of it.

The products I have designed, developed, tested and now produce on-site and by hand are one of the reasons we have been able to survive drought, mice and a pandemic. It’s so thrilling to have that side of our business and the work that goes into that every day as the core of our business recognised and celebrated rather than “just” the big picture.

There are so many women in this western area, in towns and on farms, doing amazing things that weren’t at all commonplace a few years ago. How does that make you feel?

Bush women and/or farmers wives for generations have been trailblazers. They have had to be resilient, innovative, creative, dynamic, imaginative, resourceful and passionate. As the times changed, the women adapted. As the needs of the family and community changed, we adapted. As technology changed, we adapted.

I am very fortunate that I have been able to watch a couple of generations of these women in my own family and learn from them.

One of the things we are really terrible with is telling people about the amazing things we do! I think that awards like this are so important to be a part of, if only to take a moment and celebrate some of the wins we have. For me personally, I quite often only see the things that I didn’t do, or the things still on the list, rather than what I have done and achieved.

I hope that being a finalist in the Ausmumpreneur awards might help shed light on all of the women in our region doing remarkable things, or give the

women who have some amazing ideas the courage to just take the first step to making it happen for them, or to reach out to any of the businesswomen in the community for support, or advice or as a sounding board.

The more we support each other, the stronger our community becomes.

How much has the connectivity of new technology assisted this wave of achieving women?

I think about what bush women were able to achieve just using the radio, and mail! Now that we’ve added telephones, internet, video and all the other tech that I don’t have my head around, what you can achieve is really only limited by imagination!

It’s always so great to be able to connect in and collaborate with other small businesses and women doing amazing things, and technology makes that easier – easier to find them as a start, let alone work with them!

Technology has also made us more visible, we are now able to reach a much broader audience than ever before.

What do you think of the other finalists?

The calibre of women listed as finalists is just.... wow... trying to think of another word for amazing or sensational or awe inspiring.

I am so humbled and feel so privileged to see my name on the

list, and so happy to have been recognised at all. The finalists are all so different, with such unique offerings and vision. The feeling among the finalists is a real sense of community and that we are all winners no matter what the final announcements are.

How tough has it been with drought and then Covid-19?

Honestly? I had to stop and take a breath and swallow the tears before I could say anything here.

Drought, and then mice plague and then Covid-19, this past 18 months has been even more soul destroying than the previous years in so many ways. Even at 92 my grandfather always told me you can’t wait for things to happen, if you want something to happen, if you want something to be better, then you just have to do it. And that’s what we have done. I needed to help put food on the table for my family, but in a way that meant I could still work full time on the farm.

Using the materials we had on hand to make and develop a new product range, and diversifying our farm into agri-tourism has been our way of making things happen in a positive way, and given us something to look forward to every day. Fortunately, I have an amazing husband who helps just make things happen, and often has more outrageous ideas than I do.

Renewable Energy Zone a bonus for locals, say advocates DUBBO and Wellington are set to be part of the first NSW Renewable Energy Zone in the central west Orana region, and locals are set to reap the rewards through “huge amounts of new investment” coming to town, according to advocacy group RE-Alliance.

The community based renewables group is hosting two public informations sessions to talk to locals about the opportunities it says come with hosting a Renewable Energy Zone.

These information sessions will be held online on Tuesday, September 7 from 10-11.30am and again from 6-7.30pm.

RE-Alliance Community Engagement Manager, and Narromine local, Karin Stark, has met with local stakeholders, community leaders, businesses and councils and says the zone will not only see “lower emissions” for NSW, but “also create jobs and generate lease payments for lots of local farmers”.

Local residents are welcome to participate in one of the two webinars to find out more about what the Renewable Energy Zone and what it could mean for the region.

Plan to build on reconciliation

COUNCIL WATCH

By NATALIE LEWIS

A RECONCILIATION Action Plan (RAP) will be developed by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) as a way to extend community framework, develop opportunities and improve outcomes in the region.

Acknowledging the large population of Aboriginal people in the Dubbo Local Government Area, Mayor Stephen Lawrence said it was imperative for council to contribute to reconciliation.

“Developing a RAP will contribute to reconciliation by building and encouraging relationships with the Aboriginal community,” he said.

“It will also foster and embed

respect and develop opportunities by council to improve outcomes for Aboriginal communities.”

Cr Lawrence described the benefits of creating a RAP, emphasising action-based strategy and a whole community approach.

“By developing a RAP, council can implement practical actions towards reconciliation through a community consulted framework, develop and build a more diverse workforce, enable staff to develop greater cultural awareness and ensure more effective service delivery to the Aboriginal community,” he said.

Cr Lawrence pointed out that a RAP will contribute to council’s recent innovations in the area.

“DRC’s Aboriginal Electoral Engagement Strategy and Aboriginal Employment Strategy are the most recent examples of council’s approach to achieving positive outcomes in the community,” he said.

Council’s CEO Murray Wood will now provide options for the plan to move forward, aiming for a document that will be “reflective of community expectations of how Council should build and encourage relationships, develop respect and opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people”.

No timeframe has yet been given for the RAP’s development and implementation.

Permanent CEO to be appointed

by Council

Dubbo Regional Council has begun the process of appointing a permanent CEO. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ KEN SMITH

By NATALIE LEWIS DUBBO Regional Council has begun the process of appointing a permanent CEO, following last week’s extraordinary meeting.

Former Director Community and Recreation Murray Wood commenced in the role in June on a 12-month contract but councillors are keen to get the ball rolling on filling the role on a longterm basis.

With the delay of the Local Government elections until December 4, Mayor Stephen Lawrence said it was timely to begin advertising the position as soon as possible.

“Given the extra period of time that this Council will continue in place, I think it’s now appropriate that we move to recruit a permanent CEO,” he said.

Councillors elected to advertise the role from August 13 to September 8 with candidate shortlisting, interviews and final selection by the end of September and the process to be finalised before caretaker mode commences on November 4.

“We are proceeding with this recruitment process to ensure DRC has a new CEO within the 12-month time period council initially adopted when it brought Murray Wood on board as the interim CEO,” Cr Lawrence said.

The prospect of Mr Wood applying for the role means he has been removed from the recruitment process which will be managed by Local Government Management Solutions.

“The selection panel usually consists of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Councillor Jane Diffey and a suitably qualified (person who is) independent of the Council.”

In this instance, that place will be taken by a representative of Local Government Management Solutions.

Both Mr Wood and council’s Director Culture and Economy Natasha Comber left the room during discussion, declaring a significant pecuniary interest.

Helping kids cope through Covid

By JEN COWLEY EVEN for adults, the saturation of Covid-19 media coverage and constant conversation can at times become overwhelming, so imagine how potentially alarming that relentless exposure can be for children.

As the global pandemic came to Dubbo’s doorstep last week, closing schools and affecting young people as never before, some local parents have noticed a growing anxiousness among children.

That anxiety is quite understandable, according to senior counsellor with NALAG (National Association for Loss and Grief) Cathy Banks, who says it’s important to acknowledge that children can have the same sorts of feelings about traumatic situations as adults but the ways in which they express those emotions can vary greatly.

Children are responding to anxiety that’s coming not only from the media, but from parents and families as well, Cathy says, so setting the right tone and providing reassurance is vitally important from the outset.

With the recent outbreak in Dubbo and the western region, there is a heightened level of angst throughout the community, so Cathy offers the following advice to parents and carers who she says need firstly to remain calm. z Try to keep a stable routine – retain some structure in the day, even while we’re in a lockdown situation. Try to get up at the same time and go to bed at the same time, have meals around the same time as usual – a sense of structure and routine is important. Keep kids in their usual routine and maintain structure where possible. z You need to have a conversation with your kids – they don’t live in a bubble, so they’re very aware of what’s going on around them. Even if they’re very young – they will know that something major is going on. Start that conversation yourself – don’t wait for the children to come to you. z Choose a moment that’s not emotionally charged. It needs to be a time when parents are not anxious, so straight after a news report mightn’t be the best of times. With the media, we’re getting a double or triple dose across many platforms and there can be a level of sensationalism, which

Cathy Banks, senior counsellor with NALAG, says children need reassurance during these anxious times.

isn’t helpful. z Anxiety is contagious. If children are seeing Mum and Dad freak out, that will alarm them. z Acknowledge that it can be a quite scary time, but have a tone that’s quite matter-of-fact – speak directly. Children need reassurance that we’re going to be okay.

Parents can provide that reassurance by talking about the ways in which we are doing things to keep us safe – by going into lockdown, by wearing masks, by washing our hands, by creating social distance. Explain that we do all those things to protect ourselves and to limit the chances of getting the virus. z The language parents use is really important, and needs to be age appropriate. For example, if you’re talking to very little children you wouldn’t use big words like “Coronavirus” or “pandemic” – you’d say it’s like a cold or the ‘flu but that for some people it’s a

bit more serious. z For “tweens” you’d talk about a virus that has ‘flu-like symptoms, but that we’re taking steps to stop the virus from spreading. z If you’re talking to teenagers, you need to have a consistent message. Ramp up the need to be careful, but reassure them Australia has one of the best healthcare systems in the world and that we’ve been able to keep ourselves so safe for so long. Point out that we’ve learned so much from other countries that have gone through this before us and that they’re now doing okay, and we will be too. z After you’ve had a conversation about what you know, ask them if there’s anything else they’d like to know. This lets them know their questions and their curiosity are okay. What they’re really seeking is reassurance. z Exposure to media reports should also be monitored, and

that goes for parents as well.

It’s the constant bombardment through multiple media platforms that creates a heightened anxiety.

Pick one media source you trust.

Go to that at the same time every day for an update – that should be enough. Remember you will be contacted directly by NSW Health if needed. That’s why it’s so important to check in when you need to go out, using the Service NSW app. z This is another way in which we can demonstrate to children that we have some control over the situation – tell them that when you go out to the supermarket, you are checking in and doing all the right things so that you keep yourself and them safe. Kids are used to the check in – we’ve been doing it for some time now – so reassure them that the system is working. z Monitor the basics – when we get fearful and anxious, it impacts our sleep, and this can be particularly harmful for teens.

This has been a very difficult time for teens who have been forced to withdraw socially – they’re the ones who will be potentially impacted the most if we have to go through an extended lock down.

If you have particular concerns and need assistance, NALAG is still operating with its online and telephone service – ring 02 6882 9222. There is also information online at www.nalag.org.au. Help is also available through Kids’ Helpline on 1800 459975 and through Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue: 1800 512348 *Disclosure: Jen Cowley sits in a volunteer capacity on the board of management of NALAG.

Labour shortage in essential industry WITH bumper crops expected in the agriculture sector this spring, an army of 3000 workers is urgently needed to assist during harvest.

Grey nomads, university students, rural residents and those seeking an adventure are being offered the opportunity to harvest wheat, barley and canola across 30 locations in regional NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland for 12 weeks between October and December. These roles are often filled by foreigners but with our international borders shut, Australians yearning for a new experience are being encouraged into the industry.

One of the nation’s largest employers, Programmed, is leading the rural surge.

Executive General Manager for Programmed Skilled Workforce David Hele said Aussies who normally go overseas for unique experiences should consider an Aussie outback adventure.

“Despite COVID shutting down many of our cities, our farmers are heading towards a record crop in coming months,” he said.

“Aussies can apply online right now for a range of different roles in towns like Burren Junction, Bogan Gate, West Wyalong or Narromine in NSW or you can try your luck in Goondiwindi or the Darling Downs in Queensland. On the job training is provided.

There are 185 jobs available in Dubbo and North West NSW. Pay rates range from $27 to $35 per hour for an average 3060 working week, depending upon the job. Indoor and outdoor jobs are available, from grain sampling to grain handling, weighbridge operating, customer service, and assisting as a plant operator.

A-Z of Vaccines: Don’t be afraid LONG-TIME local physician and gastroenterologist, Dr Joe Canalese was Visiting Medical Officer at Dubbo Base Hospital for more than 35 years, and worked extensively across the western region and its people, with whose evolving health needs he is intimately acquainted. He is a former Associate Dean of the University of Sydney’s School of Rural Health and was Deputy Chair of the Western NSW Local Health District board for ten years.

He has in recent months stepped back out of retirement and into the medical field to assist the Covid-19 vaccination team in Dubbo.

With more than 40 years’ experience in the field of medicine and medical research, and with the best interests of the community he loves at heart, he spoke with JEN COWLEY to convey one simple message: “Please, please get whatever vaccine is available to you as soon as possible. Don’t be afraid.”

••• How long have you been looking after the health needs of Dubbo and the region?

I’ve been a doctor here in town for more than 40 years – I retired a few years ago but have come back to help out with the current situation. I’m working with the Covid-19 vaccination team in a medical capacity. I have extensive experience in day-today medical practice, but also in the field of medical research.

Importantly, I have done a lot of research recently into what is happening with the Covid-19 pandemic and experience.

What are your greatest concerns, from what you’ve seen?

The pandemic is a serious problem for the health of individuals and the community at large.

What we need to do is to overcome this threat by following the health instructions, but most importantly, very importantly, we must get everyone vaccinated.

At the moment we have available to us two vaccines, soon to be three – the Pfizer, the AstraZeneca and the Moderna, which will come on line for us next month.

Getting vaccinated is so important. It’s important at an individual level because should you contract Covid-19, your illness will be less serious, you’re less likely to end up in intensive care

Experienced long-time local medico Dr Joe Canalese’s message is simple: “Please, please get whatever vaccine is available to you as soon as possible. Don’t be afraid.” PHOTO: SUPPLIED

The risk of complications from the AstraZeneca vaccine is “miniscule” compared with the effects of a serious dose of the Delta variant of Covid-19, according to experienced medico Dr Joe Canalese. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

and die. If you’re not vaccinated, especially if you’re elderly, but also for younger people as is evident with the Delta strain, it can be very serious indeed as we’re seeing in Sydney and now what’s happening locally.

Are you seeing reluctance to have the vaccine?

There certainly has been reluctance, particularly for the AstraZeneca, and that’s because people have heard about complications such as blood clots. This does happen, but it is a very rare complication and we’ve now learned a lot more about how to effectively treat it should it happen.

For people over the age of 60, less than one in 100,000 are likely to develop this complication – and many, many fewer are likely to die from it.

For people under 60, it’s about one in 50,000 who have some kind of complication, and not necessarily a major problem.

Dr Canalese, you’ve lived here for decades, this is your community, you care for this region and its people – can you tell us you have confidence in AstraZeneca?

Yes. I can tell you that you are not at any greater risk than the rest of the population if you’ve had any previous problems like blood clots or heart disease. Both my wife and I have had AstraZeneca.

For younger people, the recom-

mendations are for Pfizer, but you can certainly have AstraZeneca after you speak with your doctor.

I have personally advised members of my own family who are in high-risk areas such as Sydney, that they should have AstraZeneca.

So you have confidence that, with good medical advice, people should not be afraid of having AstraZeneca?

Yes. I do. They should not be afraid – not at all. It’s important, especially if you’re in a situation where you’re likely to come into contact with Covid-19, then your risk-benefit is so much higher if you’re vaccinated.

Can you explain what “herd immunity” is and why it’s important?

Herd immunity means that if you are vaccinated and you come in contact with the virus, you’re less likely to get Covid-19, and you’re also less likely to spread it to those you come in contact with.

The more of us who are vaccinated the less the likelihood of the virus being spread.

Herd immunity is very important because when you’re vaccinated, not only do you protect yourself, but you’re also protecting those around you – your loved ones, your family, your community, everyone you come in contact with.

How seriously do we need to take

this situation right now?

It’s here on our doorstep now.

It’s in Dubbo and the western region, it’s not just something that’s happening elsewhere. As you can see from the necessity of having lockdowns and how quickly it can spread, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to get vaccinated.

Where should people get their health advice?

People should get their advice and information from reliable and credible sources. There’s a lot of misunderstanding as well as a lot of misinformation out there. It’s important to realise that literally millions and millions of doses of vaccines have been given around the world, and we can now see the efficacy of those vaccines, as well as the acceptable risk factors.

Can you underline again what those acceptable risks are?

We may get local tenderness at injection site, tiredness, headache, mild temperature rise, mild aches and pains – these are short lived.

With AstraZeneca there is a rare risk of clotting, as already explained. These problems are miniscule compared with what may happen if we get the full-blown infection.

If you could speak directly to the whole of Dubbo and the region, what would your message be?

It would be this: Please, please follow health advice and get vaccinated. Get whatever vaccine is available to you. Get it as soon as possible and don’t be afraid.

Keep safe.

Social services transforming communities THE NSW government’s Social Sector Transformation Fund is helping to support small-to-medium sized organisations with grants.

“Social services organisations play a pivotal role delivering support to some of the most vulnerable people in our community,” Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said.

“They’ve had to adapt how they deliver services during the pandemic and this funding will help them invest in improved business processes, technology upgrades and new ways of reaching out to their communities.”

The Social Sector Transformation Fund supports organisations working in the social and health services sector, including homelessness, housing, disability, youth, health and child and family services.

Organisations to receive funding locally include: ∙ Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre – $50,000 ∙ National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG) – $50,000; and ∙ Orana Support Service – $50,000 “All of these groups are modernising their services, and making it easier for people to access help when they need it most,” Mr Saunders said.

“NALAG will engage a marketing consultant to help update its website and promote what the organisation offers, and the Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre has plans to update its PC hardware so clients can utilise the devices to access information and do skills training.

“Orana Support Services will also utilise technology, with plans to develop an app that will display where people can access accommodation and basics like food options, water, toilets and shower facilities.”

Dubbo Photo News August 19-25, 2021

Getting the jab: It’s not just about you WELL-KNOWN local musician Isaac Compton has gone from vaccine sceptic to passionate herd immunity advocate, and says his shift in attitude came from seeking out credible and reliable information from trusted health professionals, including those in his own family. He’s spent a great deal of time and energy over the past week reaching out to the community, using his special brand of cheeky humour to promote an important “stay at home” message, and here, he pleads with us all to “have some compassion” and get vaccinated because, “It’s not about you – it’s about other people who are less fortunate.”

••• I had my first Pfizer shot last week – unfortunately, I haven’t developed any superpowers yet, unless you count being at least partially resistant to Covid-19.

The reason I’m so passionate about this issue is that if people continue to be reluctant to have the vaccine, life won’t return to normal.

There’s so much misinformation out there that’s creating so much fear and confusion about the vaccines. If people were to go to credible sources for health advice, speak to actual health professionals and do proper research instead of just taking what they see and hear from social media as gospel, they’ll see that there’s nothing to fear.

It’s so frustrating that people are basing their reluctance on complete misinformation.

In saying that, six months ago, I too was reluctant. I thought that I probably wouldn’t get the vaccine.

But my mum works in health, as do my sisters, and other members of my family and friends are doctors and nurses – many of them are Aboriginal too – and I talked to them all.

They’ve all had their shots, and they’ve given me the right information so that I could make my own informed decision based on good solid health advice.

They’ve also told me stories about people who have had Covid-19 and they’ve seen first-hand the effects it can have, regardless of what age the patient is.

People haven’t been taking it seriously because it hasn’t come knocking on our door yet – until now. We’ve been so lucky until now, and so segregated from Covid-19 – apart from when we had the first lockdown last year where we went, “Okay – we’re locking down and we’re all doing the right thing” – the whole country was locked down, and then we never really heard about it except at arm’s length and as something that happened in the cities, not to us. We were in our own little bubble.

But now, it’s out here and I’m hoping that people will pull their fingers out and realise that it really can affect us deeply. It’s real. It’s serious.

If I could say one thing to everyone it would be this: “It’s NOT about YOU!” It’s about other people.

It’s about people who are less fortunate than us who are more at risk. Think about them. Put them before yourself.

Have some compassion. Get vaccinated.

Vaccination is so important, and the misinformation that’s out there about vaccines is not helpful. I’m not really sure what the difference between Pfizer and AstraZeneca is, except that there’s a rare risk of blood clots with AstraZeneca.

But I can tell you that if Pfizer wasn’t available I’d have happily had the AstraZeneca.

If you’re worried about the effects it can have, speak to your doctor – if you can’t speak to them, get hold of someone who’s a proper health professional who can give you the right information, and who knows what they’re talking about.

Don’t message your mate on social media. Don’t just Google.

Facebook isn’t going to save your life – vaccination will.

I believe very strongly in freedom of choice. If you genuinely don’t want to get the vaccine, that’s your choice. I would just urge you to think about others and the impact of your choice on them.

Herd immunity saves lives.

As told to Jen Cowley

EMERGENCY REPORT

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

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Truck crash EMERGENCY services scrambled to a truck crash just five kilometres north of Dubbo on the Gilgandra Road at about 3.40am Tuesday morning, August 17.

Police were told the truck left the road before crashing into trees and an embankment where it came to rest on its side, the crash sparking a cabin fire.

Despite the spectacular nature of the crash, the driver was taken to Dubbo Hospital to be treated for minor injuries only, and police investigations into the cause of the crash continue.

Busy, busy, busy so show some respect and restraint HATS off to all those people keeping us safe and especially to the people in very senior positions who are working almost around the clock at the moment.

That’s not just a figure of speech.

I’ve had text exchanges and phone conversations with various police, politicians and departmental staff after midnight and in the early hours of the morning, as early as 3 and 5 o’clock.

So before you criticise that something seems like it’s going slowly, or someone in Sydney or Canberra stuffed up 12 or six months ago which may be why we’re in this mess, it wasn’t any of these local people on the ground who are working so hard to keep you and your families safe during this current crisis.

Social media is great for people to have their say and lambast someone in a public position, but after this Covid-19 crisis is done and dusted we’ll be looking back to see who stepped up and tried to do good things, as well as passing judgement on those people who could do nothing but post divisive whinges on their free Facebook pages.

At the moment these people in leadership positions need everyone’s support and cooperation, not nastiness for the sake of it.

The scene of the truck crash on Gilgandra Road on Tuesday morning.

had visited while they were positive. It’s very concerning that the 18 new cases announced for Dubbo on Tuesday were said to have been infectious in the community.

In one day alone, Western Region police commander Geoff McKechnie said 32 infringement notices had been issued to people in Dubbo for being out and about with no reasonable excuse – it’s now a minimum $3000 fine.

“Please take notice – we don’t want to keep writing out these tickets but we will,” Mr McKechnie told the daily press conference.

Not only is every available cop out on the streets working on the compliance operation, the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) arrived on Tuesday, a 25-strong unit which will be tasked to compliance, business inspections, mobile controls and making sure the rules are being complied with.

Local NSW Health boss Scott McLachlan told the Tuesday presser that three ADF teams would be setting up vaccination clinics in Dubbo and the region and that the Western NSW Local Health

District (WNSWLHD) would be extending opening hours at the Dubbo vaccination clinic to fit more appointments in.

I’d been asking questions about the state of our medical staff after many people had told me they’d been identified as close or casual contacts and that had prevented them going to work at Dubbo Hospital.

Mr McLachlan said as of last Tuesday, 84 staff were in isolation and couldn’t come to work, out of 8000 in the vast Local Health District.

“We’re recruiting staff now to help us through this,” he said, pointing out extra PPE and protocols in local hospitals were being put in place, and that elective surgeries were being delayed as a precaution “The public health order is all about keeping people away from other people. You need to assume that the person next to you has Covid-19 and keep your distance, so please take care of each other.”

Mian deep clean

Information overflow IT’S tough to keep up with the incessant overload of information at the best of times these days, but with the very real concern surrounding the Covid-19 Delta outbreak in Dubbo and the Western Region, the quest for tidbits, accurate or fake, are being gobbled up by the tonne.

At the time of the deadline for this column yesterday, Dubbo had hit 110 confirmed positive cases of Covid-19, 60 of those being source unknown, and there were more than 50 sites where contact tracers had determined people

MIAN School was a hive of activity for specialist cleaning staff earlier in the week, with Dubbo Photo News spotting two cars out the front while cleaners worked away inside the buildings.

The school was set to be non-operational to allow time for contact tracing as well as the cleaning after a member of the school community had tested positive for Covid-19.

All staff and students were asked to self-isolate until they received further advice.

I’m hearing real concerns from teachers about having to go back into the classroom with multiple staff and students unless everyone is vaccinated.

This Delta strain has turned the tables, with the virus targeting kids as well as adults.

“Two new recruits will join Dubbo Police Station, while one will commence duties at Coonamble and the fourth will start at Wellington.

WHAT KIDS SAY

Nurse Needle on the jab job

By JOHN RYAN THIS Madam Minore mannequin is exhorting locals to get vaccinated as soon as they can.

The brainchild of Minore farmer Belinda Nugent, the mannequin has a few costume changes each year as occasions needing some good-natured jabbing arise.

“She always pops up at Easter, Christmas and even made a special appearance when the drought broke. She brings a smile to people who drive past,” Mrs Nugent, whose husband is an Emergency Department doctor,

told Dubbo Photo News.

“I was thinking really hard as to what I could do to put a bit of humour into our current situation and to let our friends and neighbours who drive past know we are thinking of them, but also to get an important message across.

“I really wanted to just say #staythef&%#athome or honk if you’ve had the jab.”

Nurse Needle’s outfit is made entirely of garbage bags, duct tape and tie wire, although she’s still sporting her Christmas earrings, elf shoes and red stockings.

This mannequin is attracting plenty of attention for all the right reasons, asking people to take a needle for the community and injecting plenty of humour into the campaign at the same time.

Woolies limits toot roll packs to two

Woolworths stores across Dubbo have implemented various COVID-safe measures, including limiting toilet roll pack purchases to two.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/NATALIE LEWIS

WOOLWORTHS has introduced a purchase limit of two toilet paper packs per customer in Dubbo, both in-store and online.

“We understand this is an uncertain time in Dubbo, but we want to reassure customers that our stores will remain open throughout the lockdown,” Woolworths Dubbo Group Manager Angela Nicolls said.

“We have plenty of stock in our supply chain, and our team members will be hard at work making sure it flows into our store in large volumes for our customers.”

Ms Nicolls is encouraging customers to be mindful of others in the community and only buy what they need.

“We also ask customers to follow all social distancing and COVID-safe measures in our store,” she said.

“Please treat our team members and each other with respect as we work through this unsettling time together.”

The move to limit toilet roll purchases came after last week’s state government announcement of Dubbo’s seven-day lockdown.

Ms Nicolls said it was only fair that all Woolworths customers have access to essential products.

She also said all Woolworths Dubbo stores currently have additional monitoring of social distancing and have deployed health ambassadors as part of its COVID-safe plans.

In line with NSW Government directives, all customers and team members are also expected to wear face masks in NSW Woolworths stores.

Dubbo family business responds: delivering Covid-safe to your door

By JOHN RYAN LIKE so many other Dubbo businesses, Michelle Head says Garian Food Wholesalers is working hard to help locals during the lockdown and doing whatever it takes to keep its own staff employed.

While Garian is wellknown throughout the region as a supplier to food outlets, it’s less well understood that the company not only sells bulk and retail foodstuffs to the public, but also offers free delivery for grocery orders over $100 in a contactless, Covid-safe way.

“If we could keep our 16 staff employed during these times it would mean so much to us,” Michelle said. “We are like a big family – if locals support us that would help make it so much more possible.

“We are offering home contactless deliveries during Covid-19 lockdown to the towns we service on their scheduled days and Dubbo six days a week.

“All you need to do is phone in with your order and it will be delivered that day! You can find our price list on our Facebook page.”

She said while local restaurants, pubs, clubs and ca-

fes often visit their premises in Douglas Mawson Drive, getting the message out that there’s a family-owned and operated business selling much of what can be bought at corporate sutpermarkets has proved difficult.

“We hear quite often that people didn’t know we were here or open to the public,” she said.

“Originally, that was the case but over the years and as the demand has grown, a

small shop front was opened and grew from there.”

Garian Food Wholesalers prides itself on providing quality products and services to Central Western NSW customers ranging from mines, clubs, schools and restaurants to cafes and takeaways.

The list of towns to which Garian delivers looks like a map of the entire west, so as well as having plenty of kilometres for its delivery drivers to negotiate every

day, now the company has to manage the new borders between the various Local Government Areas and abide by differing restrictions across the region.

Michelle says the company ethos is to always strive for customer satisfaction and friendly efficient service and she said there were some surprisingly popular products that have become family favourites during prior lockdowns.

Is it a Moderna miracle?

By JOHN RYAN A COVID-19 vaccine that’s just been approved for use in Australia could provide some answers to the question of vaccine hesitancy, as well as the tyranny of distance which has seen a lower uptake of jabs in the state’s west according to Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) chief executive Scott McLachlan.

The Moderna Covid-19 is being administered alongside the Pfizer vaccine in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France and Argentina.

It has also recently been approved by the European Union

with plans to utilise it in the rollout to European member states.

The Moderna vaccine recorded an efficacy rate of 94.1 per cent in its Phase III trial in the US. Mr McLachlan told Dubbo Photo News that western health staff are excited about the Moderna vaccine becoming available.

“Moderna is a new vaccine that is coming into Australia, it’s been approved by the federal regulators. It is a good, safe and effective vaccine as are both Pfizer and AstraZeneca. I think it will be a good vaccine for rural Australia and Western NSW, so we’re definitely looking forward to it,” he said.

“We know there are supplies

coming in weeks (from now).

It’s going to grow significantly through September, October to November.”

Mr McLachlan said a great advantage is that Moderna is much easier to manage in its cold chain than Pfizer. It doesn’t need to be stored at minus 70.

The Moderna Covid-19 vaccine is the second mRNA vaccine the Australian government has committed to through an advance purchase agreement. This agreement will provide access to the current Moderna vaccine and variant-specific versions of the vaccine to address longer term immunity and emerging viral variants. Supply of

the variant-specific form of Moderna vaccine is expected in the first half of 2022.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Pick of the bunch for harvest jobs

ANDREW Foley works at finding work for people looking for jobs, and workers for businesses and organisations chasing employees.

HE says this region’s next major challenge is finding enough labour to help strip the 2021 harvest, given the current severity of lockdowns, the level of uncertainty and the absence of backpackers and grey nomads to fill so many of those traditional slots.

ANDREW sat down with Dubbo Photo News to talk about the world of opportunity in our own backyard.

••• How long has Programmed operated in Dubbo and the Central west region, and what’s your role in the organisation?

It’s been going for 20 years and I’m account manager for the Dubbo office, so I look after our clients and workers throughout the Central West NSW region.

What job opportunities can be accessed through Programmed?

There’s a broad range of work opportunities in the fields of

mining, harvest, production work (food production, pet-food production, timber mills, pallet repair, limestone and sand quarries/production facilities, rail, construction, LGP, transport and distribution.

Can you outline the types of jobs available for both skilled and nonskilled workers for harvest?

Along with our day to day recruiting and placements we’re also recruiting for the upcoming harvest which traditionally drew on the (pool of) backpackers and grey nomads, but with Covid-19 here we need to call our local and regional workforce into action to join in on the harvest adventure and make this a successful harvest year for all of us who live and work in this region. Harvest doesn’t require specialty skills to get work but like all industries, having plant and equipment licenses is a big plus. On a daily basis we have jobs available such as labouring, grain handling, production workers, plant operator, trades, truck drivers, forklift operators, metal trades, timber workers and administration.

How can people find out about these jobs? It’s dead easy – just go to programmed.com.au/ jointheharvest or email psworange@programmed.com.au or call 02 6394 9500.

What information do they need handy?

They need to have a basic resume, passport or birth certificate and reference details.

What services and support does Programmed offer – for instance, employer liaison, drug and alcohol testing and so forth?

It’s all very streamlined with account managers like me in the local area to help with this, along with our resourcing team to help with on-boarding, inductions, time capture. There’s a Programmed GO app for people to receive their payslips, put in times, update their profile and job search. We also have ongoing site visits, toolbox talks and conversations, all sorts of ongoing employee support programs.

How will Covid-19 impact accessing opportunities and what do people have to do to comply?

Andrew Foley is urging locals at a loose end, or those who feel they need a change of pace, to give him a call to find out what opportunities there are to join in taking off the 2021 harvest. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

The best of times, the worst of times

BY NATALIE LEWIS JAN Colbran always wanted to be a police officer, but seeing the best and worst of humanity on a daily basis can be a challenging task.

“You never know on any day what you will be faced with or deal with,” she said.

“You can be working at your computer one moment and literally fighting for your life or someone else’s the next.”

Repeatedly seeing the worst of society can be demanding.

“People say you know what you are getting into when you join the cops, most have no idea what humans are capable of, good and bad!”

Sergeant Colbran has been in the police force for 19 years and initially studied at the NSW Police Academy after completing a hairdressing trade in Dubbo.

“At the time, I only needed my trade. Now you need to hold a variety of qualifications. “We went to the academy for nearly 12 months,

now it is a much shorter time due to modern technology and online learning,” she explained.

Sergeant Colbran is currently a Domestic Violence Operative, working out of the Orana Mid-Western Police District Crime Prevention Unit.

She said the unit is based in Dubbo but covers a geographic area bigger than Switzerland, travelling to outstations as far afield as Wellington, Narromine and Cooma in the Snowy Mountains.

“My current team reviews all domestic violence (DV) incidents within the police district,” she said.

“We assist in ensuring the most appropriate police action is taken.”

They also attend list days at local courts to review DV and AVO charges, educate fellow officers on DV-related legislation and operating procedures and support victims through the court process.

“We work closely with a variety of services within the police district, including the Women’s Do-

mestic Violence Court Advocacy Service (WDVCAS) and the Men’s Referral Service.”

Her recent promotion to sergeant will soon mean heading back to general duties policing, also based at Dubbo.

Sergeant Colbran said policing has evolved a lot since she started, with changes to uniforms, policy and legislation.

“The promotion and support of women in policing has changed enormously in the past 19 years. I can only imagine the changes my boss has seen in her 40 years! Policing these days is far more inclusive across the board for all.”

Sergeant Colbran said the response she receives from the public about her role varies from job to job.

“As police officers, we are invested in our work and the communities we serve and many police officers put in hours of unpaid work in their own time to achieve a safer community.

“The work can be incredibly re-

warding, the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference in someone’s world is priceless.”

Sergeant Colbran explained that the “Blue Family” of police officers has enriched her life, both personally and professionally.

“The Blue Family is a real thing.

We do and see things repeatedly that others will likely never do in their lives.

“Like any family it’s not perfect, but we are there for each other in some of the worst and best times of our lives.

“I have an old sergeant, retired for eight years who I still call

Sarge, his kids who are not cops now call me Sarge! “(Outside of lockdown) I travel regularly with my children, we stop in a lot of towns along the way to catch up with Blue Family.

My kids love it and are included in the bonds I have with many current and ex colleagues.” z A surge in domestic violence during lockdown has been publicly described as a shadow pandemic. If you or someone you know is at risk, there is still help available.

Covid-safe wheels keep turning for community

By JEN COWLEY AFTER serving the community continually for more than 50 years, the team at Meals on Wheels in Dubbo is not about to let a global pandemic stand in the way of their care for clients.

As the organisation marks national Meals on Wheels Day this week, local service manager Peter English is reassuring the community that service to clients will continue uninterrupted but with stringent Covid-safe measures in place to protect those who are among our city’s and our region’s most vulnerable.

As Dubbo and the state again settles into lockdown restrictions, Mr English is keen to assure clients and their families of the continuity of the renowned organisation’s service.

“Because of uncertainty, people are concerned but we’re here to make sure the elderly are safe and cared for not just in terms of the provision of meals, but with all the other services we offer.”

Meals on Wheels can also assist with the delivery of groceries, for which it has a tried and tested system in place.

“Sometimes our clients aren’t able to avail themselves of the click and collect online option, so we do it the old analogue way – by phone.

“We’ve been doing that for 12 months now and we have clients who are very happy to have that particular worry and concern tak-

en care of. Especially over this past week, this is a very important service, given the vulnerability of many of the elderly clients who are at risk when they go out and about.”

All deliveries are done in a Covid-safe manner, with meals or groceries carefully passed to the client either through the door or placed on a chair or table at the front door for clients to pick up if they’re able.

“Every client is different, so we

adjust our approach,” Mr English says. “But it’s important to remember that we don’t just drop the meal and run – we make sure the client collects the meal and locks the door behind them.”

The service Meals on Wheels provides isn’t just about food or grocery delivery.

“Our visits also act as a welfare check of sorts, and a human connection for some for whom isolation is a concern.

“We have clear messages on our

run sheet so that whoever is delivering knows that particular client’s circumstances, and we tailor our approach to individual needs, but always with safety as our top priority.”

All new clients seeking assistance from Meals on Wheels need to go through the government’s My Aged Care service, but then the Dubbo team takes the baton to do a care plan by phone to make sure clients get the exact services they need.

State urges more vaccinations

CALM BEFORE THE STORM

BY NATALIE LEWIS DEPUTY Premier John Barilaro has urged people in the community to get vaccinated in light of current Covid-19 cases in western NSW. “Our message again is to get vaccinated,” he said.

“Our goal as a state is to reach 80 per cent vaccination rates and to let people know how important it is to get vaccinated.

“We are especially concerned about West Dubbo. A lot of resources are being rolled out with a focus on vulnerable indigenous communities.”

Remembering life’s simple pleasures JUST prior to the whole state going into lockdown, well-known Dubbo resident Ivor Trapman found a simple joy in taking a snap of his mates, Peter, Bruno and Bill, enjoying the simple pleasure of their morning coffee.

At the time Ivor took

Mr English says client concern about Covid-19 was more evident last year, thanks largely to a fear of the unknown.

“They don’t seem to be as anxious this time around. We had the drill last year, and we had the practice of what to do. In these current circumstances, our clients are more comfortable with the procedures and they know that they can trust Meals on Wheels to look after them.”

The service is still enlisting the help of volunteers, although some have stepped back from the job for the moment, which is understandable, says Mr English.

“Most of our volunteers have had at least their first jab – some have had two. We’re using that as a bit of a guide as to which volunteers we use – it’s important for not only our organisation but for our clients’ protection that we’re using volunteers who are as protected as they can be.

“Most of our staff have also had their first dose at least, so I’m confident that we have systems in place to make sure we’re as safe as we can all be.”

Amid all the turmoil of this latest Covid-19 outbreak and restrictions, the team at Meals on Wheels has this message for the community: “We want to reassure our clients that we’ve had their backs – we’ve been going since 1963, so we’ve had their back for more than 50 years, and that’s still the case.”

this photo, we were still relishing the less severe distancing restrictions in Dubbo.

Now that we’re under the same rules as our city cousins, we all have our fingers crossed that it won’t be long before Peter, Bruno and Bill can enjoy a coffee together again!

MP responds to Inland Rail concerns

By NATALIE LEWIS ACCORDING to Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, a Senate inquiry into the management of the Inland Rail project by the Australian Rail Track Corporation is politically-based.

The report contains submissions from stakeholders about ARTC’s community engagement, along with concerns from state groups such as the CWA and NSW Farmers. Of relevance to this region are comments made about the Narromine to Narrabri project (N2N), including the choice of route, floodplain crossings and the uptake of valuable farmland.

However, Mr Coulton said the “long term benefits (of the project) will be enormous”.

“Once it’s here, it means cheaper grain freight, new businesses and jobs,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

Questions have been asked about the rationale and suitability of the preferred N2N alignment, with some saying a more suitable route was available along the existing Dubbo-Coonamble rail corridor.

This argument was made by Coonamble Shire Council, which explained that the existing corridor bypasses hills and waterways, and travels through farmland accustomed to train travel.

In its submission to the NSW Department of Planning, NSW Farmers and the CWA contended that “no robust economic analysis has been undertaken” for the Dubbo-Coonamble line.

Mr Coulton said the Dubbo to Coonamble route “would be zig-zagging and you don’t want it through the middle of town”.

“The reason it’s on that route is that 85 per cent of all traffic is in-

termodal. It’s the freight task. It has to compete with the trucks,” he explained.

A further concern shared by the report is the appropriateness of some chosen project alignments.

Landholders of the region expressed their concerns about the alignment, particularly those landholders subject to land acquisitions.

The Dubbo branch of the NSW Farmers Association informed the committee that landholders in the Burroway to Curban area would be significantly disrupted by the dismantling of their farmland along the present alignment, with a huge sacrifice to their businesses.

Mr Coulton believes some of the most vocal opponents are often not the most impacted and said they should “understand it’s part of the process”.

“I have talked to a lot of people

about this project, including discussions on access,” he said.

“I’m not saying no-one is affected. Some people want it somewhere else so they don’t have to deal with it.”

The report states that the strict parameters established by the Australian Government remain an underlying issue of the project and that it has damaged community trust in the Inland Rail project. The committee has concerns regarding the proposed alignment for Inland Rail, particularly the use of greenfield rather than existing infrastructure.

As such, “the committee is supportive of an independent review of the proposed alignments for the N2N project”.

The N2N alignment also crosses known floodplains, with various stakeholders questioning the flood modelling used by the ARTC

and expressing concern for an increased flooding risk posed by Inland Rail.

A key criticism directed at the ARTC has been its lack of meaningful consultation, especially for those local governments, residents, flood and hydrology experts and landholders who felt the ARTC dismissed their local knowledge about floodplains and historical flood conditions.

For this reason, farmer groups called for government funding to conduct an independent review of the ARTC’s modelling.

Mr Coulton believes representatives of some contributing organisations were Sydney-based.

“Most people are already in discussion about what this means and we are looking forward to cheaper freight for the producers and more industry in the bush,” he said.

What lockdown looks like for primary producers

Melbourne kids show Dubbo preschoolers the way

INSIGHT Early Learning operates seven boutique childcare centres across the country in Victoria, WA, NT, ACT and soon to be DUBBO! The organisation offers long day care for children 0-5 including many programs such as Bush and Beach Kinder, sports, languages and dancing. The company philosophy is play-based learning and staff really believe in the agency of the child. They’re coming to Dubbo to help little learners get the best start to life. Dubbo Photo News asked Insight Early Learning managing director Donna Bush what steps they took during Melbourne’s long series of Covid lockdowns to look after the mental welfare of their precious little charges.

••• How long have you been in the game as an organisation?

We have been in the game for over five years now, however our management team has been in the early childhood sector for over 30 years.

Melbourne has experienced the most severe lockdowns out of any cities in Australia, how difficult has that been for the children?

It certainly isn’t an easy path for children, staff or families. The one thing that we have found beneficial in our 200+ days of lockdown is providing the children with consistency while still encouraging a sense of wonder. The world has changed for them and we need to be mindful that there will be big emotions involved with that, but this is still their childhood and celebrating the little moments is so important.

Taking a moment to walk in the backyard, or create a painting or put some music on and dance it out is so helpful to reset the mind.

We have been fortunate to remain open throughout and to continu-

ously provide care to our families, who have had to struggle with home schooling for their older children. We have found that our families increasingly want to ensure that their youngest children continue to attend our services, to learn and develop, and maintain as much normality as possible during this time.

As a service, we focus on: z Reassuring children that they are safe; z Acknowledging and listening to children’s questions; z Keeping regular and familiar routines within our Service; z Being alert to children’s level of feelings and provide support and activities to assist; z Providing information to families and support services as required; How do small kids react differently to this fear and uncertainty and what measures were you able to put in place to assuage those fears?

In the centre, the information provided to children about COVID-19 is always age appropriate and sensitive to their emotional wellbeing. Educators will both acknowledge children’s concerns and be open to discussions about COVID-19. Children’s emotional well-being is always closely monitored by all educators and staff.

The best thing we can offer is consistency – during COVID we have been the one place where not much has changed and the children can be free to play and learn in a protected environment.

We do fun things like teach them how to wash their hands while singing different songs, educate them on germs with various experiments and we really love now that they are the first to say 'wash your hands'.

In fact, it has also been amazing for our educators to come to

such an uplifting and stable environment every day, and as an employer, we are incredibly proud of the amazing performance by our teams across all our services. Even though our services are spread across the country, we are very much all part of the Insight Early Learning family, and we bring our team leaders together virtually every week.

For parents at home we believe the direct approach is the best approach. If your children have questions – answer them as best you can. Depending on their age sometimes a simple short response delivered with love is all they need. They are seeking reassurance and trying to make sense of something new to them.

Being engaged with them by listening and responding is the best response.

There are many resources available if you feel you don’t have all the answers and if you can’t find them call us or your local school because we will all get through this if we share knowledge and stick together.

What advice would you give to Dubbo parents when it comes to assisting their children and building mental resilience to cope with the lockdowns and the fear that their friends could be in danger?

What we recommend is to maintain a routine as best you can for you and your family. Try and focus on the things you can control and check in with each other regularly. As lockdown extends we

have found a good strategy is to plan a weekly event that can be the focal point. A great one is Friday movie night with a pillow fort or Sunday afternoon driveway disco. Focus on the things you can control, plan for what you can, stay connected, spend time doing things you enjoy and if possible get into nature.

Regarding fears around friends – communication is key. Allow your children time to call their friends if they can no longer have physical contact. Also, leaving chalk drawings on driveways outside friends’ homes as a surprise is a great fun activity and teaches our children about community.

Anything you’d like to add?

We are confident that these difficult times will soon pass, and we will continue our strong focus on doing everything we can to support our entire Insight Early Learning community. We will also continue to be in communication with all our families as circumstances change and needs arise. Here at Insight Early Learning, we are committed to doing our best for our children, families, and educators! We are keen to give our utmost support, as circumstances change. Change can sometimes be challenging, but we always want what's best for our Insight Early Learning families. The past year and a half has brought us much closer together as a team, and we have proven that we can overcome anything.

According to Donald, he can’t get enough. Donald’s routine involves eating two Big Mac burgers per day, meaning a grand total of 14 a week.

Emergency zoo accommodation assistance TARONGA Western Plains Zoo is committed to playing its part to help protect and support the community by answering a call from NSW Health to assist with the current health crisis.

The zoo has made its self-contained cabins available for NSW Health to use as emergency accommodation for vulnerable local families who are not able to safely isolate.

NSW Health is responsible for the direct management of the cabins and guests, and police and security are responsible for the security of the site.

There is no risk to zoo staff or animals, due to the location of the cabins being external to the Zoo itself, and NSW Health management of the site as an isolation zone.

A zoo spokesperson said “the health and safety of our community is paramount and the zoo is proud to be able to offer this assistance during this time”.

The arrangement commenced on Saturday August 14, and will continue as long as needed.

By JOHN RYAN STUDENTS from one Dubbo school have been working with colleagues from across Australia on a real-life science project.

One Giant Leap, one of this nation’s premier STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education groups, sent wattle seeds to the International Space Station to see if being in space has an impact on germination.

The seeds have returned to earth and are in “space quarantine” before they arrive at the selected schools to begin a 12-month student science experiment to grow the seeds in different Australian climates. The data generated will then be sent back to One Giant Leap and NASA, according to The Leadership Academy principal Mandi Randell.

“This project is a part of preparations to consider how plants and ultimately food grow in space to research potential human habitation on other planets,” Mrs Randell told Dubbo Photo News.

“We applied for the limited places last year. Our application was successful so we will be one of the schools growing and monitoring the wattle, recording data and liaising with One Giant Leap and NASA. “We’ve been working with One Giant Leap for a few years now to bring STEM education programs to Dubbo. We brought Project Perseverance to Dubbo last year and organised workshops for interested schools with One Giant Leap to work on rover skills to practice missions on a full scale Alderin Map of Mars – the only map of its kind in Australia, very cool!”.

Principal Randell said projects

like this promote real world learning at its best, and believes being part of a year long national science program means students will gain great skills as they gather and analyse data and work on hypothesising, testing and reading and writing about scientific ideas.

“I hope to spark future NASA engineers and the next generation of Australia’s leading scientists with the awe and wonder of this project,” Mrs Randell said, commenting about the overwhelming importance of having these sorts of projects which spark engagement with students in the STEM subjects.

“STEM is an important and

growing future career field. Getting kids engaged in real world learning, to interact with national and international industry leaders allows them to see themselves as leaders in these fields.

“It helps to ignite their passion for science and start their journey to discover where STEM can lead Australia.”

The Leadership Academy is also hoping the process of being involved with the complex protocols involved in the project to send wattle seeds into space and then retrieve them back on Earth will teach the students about the background complexity of things

that seem simple on the surface.

“The Academy is dedicated to connecting our students to leading thinkers and innovators in all fields. We want them to find their passion and be a part of Australia’s bright future by honing their skills in a wide variety of areas,” Mrs Randell said.

“Australia needs scientists, mathematicians, engineers, programmers, drone pilots, the list is on-going.

“By giving kids industry-based experiences like this at a young age, we hope to set them on their journey to discover how the power of STEM can change their lives.”

NARROMINE Shire Council Mayor Craig Davies said there is currently a significant amount of activity happening across the shire with council staff and contractors rolling out projects as part of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.

“Phase 1 of the program has funded numerous roads projects including pavement improvements along

sections of Willydah and Burroway Roads, drainage improvements to the Trangie Heavy Vehicle Truck Stop and Burril Street, Tomingley, better boat ramp access at Rotary Park, Narromine and several of the sporting and recreation improvements currently underway at Cale Oval,” Cr Davies said.

“Whilst LRCI Phases 2 and 3 have all been committed to local roads projects across

the Shire, this equates to an additional to $2.5 million which will be a huge boost to our economic growth.”

In the 2021–22 Budget, the federal government announced a $1 billion extension of the LRCI program, following strong community and local government support. This extension brings the total LRCI funding allocation for Narromine Shire Council to $3,506,841.

Resident urges vaccinations

By NATALIE LEWIS MOTIVATED by her desire to see close family members who live overseas, Wellington resident Laurie Rouse is already fully immunised against Covid-19 and says it was a pain-free process.

“I wanted to be able to travel to New Zealand and I didn’t want to be turned away,” she said. “Health officials in New Zealand have already said if you don’t have it, you can’t go.

“Covid-19 already prevented me from going to the birth of my grandchild in New Zealand.”

As a postal service officer, Mrs Rouse is also an essential worker so she now has added peace of mind when going into work each day at the Wellington Post Office.

“The post office is a public place so I’m pretty exposed, but we have shields, masks and sanitiser there.”

Mrs Rouse said it’s easy to book a Covid-19 vaccination and she was given AstraZeneca.

“I just went online to see who provides that service in Wellington. I rang WACHS (the Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service) and got an appointment and I had the first shot 10 weeks ago.

“The second shot was origi-

nally organised for eight weeks later but when they changed to four weeks between shots, I rang up and moved my appointment forward.”

Mrs Rouse was lucky not to have any side effects from her vaccination and recommends getting it done.

“I had absolutely no reaction whatsoever,” she said.

“I didn’t even have a sore arm.

No temperature or tiredness.”

With the current situation of case numbers rising by the day in

the Dubbo LGA, she is also urging other local residents to have their vaccination as soon as practically possible.

“Prior to it hitting Dubbo and growing exponentially, I would have said to wait for the one you prefer. Now I think, take what you can get if you are healthy – un-

less you have underlying health issues.”

So far, there have been no Covid-19 cases recorded in Wellington. But with the level of travel between Wellington and Dubbo and other parts of the LGA, Mrs Rouse believes it’s only a matter of time before the virus strikes in town.

“The sooner everyone complies, the sooner we can return to some form of normal,” she said.

Mrs Rouse also agrees with the “no jab, no job” rule being implemented by some companies.

“I guess it’s fair enough, especially if they are working with vulnerable people.”

“ The team at Dubbo Photo News have great customer service and DUH easy to deal with 7he advertising is great value and works well for us, to let locals know what’s happening at the Club weekly.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

State Government deserts bush press EDITORIAL COUNTRY Press NSW has described the NSW Government’s decision to announce a state-wide lockdown via social media on Saturday afternoon as a slap in the face to those who live in the bush.

Country Press NSW President Lucie Peart said it was a “kick in the guts” to bush media who are normally the first point of contact for many communities, especially those with aged populations.

There's been widespread confusion in regional and rural NSW, including panic buying and uncertainty over rules and restrictions, after the whole state was plunged into lockdown with two hours' warning and no press conference on Saturday afternoon.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro has defended announcing the lockdown on social media, saying it's "very difficult" to get that information out via the media on the weekend.

This has been rebutted by Country Press NSW which represents 30 independent newspapers across regional NSW, including Dubbo Photo News.

The Deputy Premier, who has neglected previous requests for the NSW Government to work more collaboratively with rural newspapers, has tried to defend the Government’s decision, but Ms Peart said its actions were “indefensible”.

“Mr Barilaro gave instructions to Members of Parliament in rural areas to talk to community leaders and mayors to get the message out. He didn’t even hold a press conference, which has been the norm throughout the pandemic.

“We cannot understand why the NSW Government, unlike other states, will not promote its COVID messages through rural newspapers, which are the most trusted source and the major communication vehicle in their respective communities,” Ms Peart said.

When asked if he would admit that it was not the right strategy to communicate with the public 18 months into a pandemic, Mr Barilaro doubled down by saying, “not at all”.

Ms Peart said member newspapers

could play a leading role in promoting the Government’s messages, but continue to be ignored by city-centric decision makers who do not understand how to effectively promote their announcements into rural communities.

And unfortunately, The Nationals have not stood up and rectified the situation.

“Our member mastheads have websites and social media avenues alongside their print product to disseminate this information and where the State Government can advertise the lockdowns alongside crucial health advice,” Ms Peart said.

“It is contradictory for the Government to spend millions of dollars on social media, then have its Members telling constituents not to take notice of the misinformation being spread by social media. This is what has been occurring.

` It is contradictory for the Government to spend millions of dollars on social media, then have its Members telling constituents not to take notice of the misinformation being spread by social media.... a “Surely, it is reasonable for the Government to work with trusted rural newspapers which are a recognised and reliable source of local information.

“For too long we have been asked to do the heavy lifting without any monetary compensation. It’s discrimination towards the bush, and this government – especially its National Party MPs – need to step up and step in for their regional communities,” she said.

Ms Peart called on Mr Barilaro to take the lead and improve the way in which the NSW Government is communicating COVID-19 health and safety messages, including restrictions and support available, to the regional communities represented

by Country Press NSW.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

Max Vax Now! The Editor, Dubbo needs a pop-up, mass vaccination hub to get everyone who wants to be vaccinated, vaccinated ASAP with the vaccine of their choice. If Armidale can do it, so can Dubbo.

Could we get 15-20,000 people vaccinated in 14 days by Army Medics in a pop-up hub at the Dubbo Turf Club, old DriveIn movie site, or an old RAAF hangar?

This is a public health crisis, we need to deliver big ideas to get as many people vaccinated, as quickly as possible.

Stay home. Get tested if you have symptoms.

Josh Black, Dubbo

Cancer Council says roll up your sleeves The Editor, The evidence is clear – optimal vaccine coverage is key to controlling COVID-19 in NSW. Evidence is also strengthening that COVID-19 poses a threat to cancer outcomes.

Because of this, Cancer Council NSW is calling on the community to roll up its sleeves and help achieve optimal COVID-19 vaccine coverage, to help reduce the risks of long-term COVID-19 impacts on cancer outcomes.

During the 2020 lockdown, we saw disr upt ion s to ca ncer screening services and program participation which is aimed at detecting cancer earlier. We know COVID-19 is especially harmful if contracted by individuals undergoing cancer treatment.

While there is a lot of confusion and misinformation out there, the evidence is clear that vaccines work and that accelerating the control of COVID-19 will support our focus on con-

trolling cancer, which remains the leading cause of premature death in the state.

People living with cancer should discuss their COVID-19 vaccine requirements with their doctor.

Now is an ideal time for someone who is due for their screening to complete the test. The bowel cancer screening test is done at home, with the sample sent in the mail.

We know that this is an incredibly stressful time for many people, particularly those impacted by cancer. If you are affected by cancer, we’re here to help.

Stay safe and well, Anita Dessaix, Director of Cancer Prevention and Advocacy, Cancer Council NSW

So that they may live better lives Greg Warren ❚ OPINION 41 killed.

249 wounded.

39,000 who served.

These are the statistics relating to the Australian Defence Force from the war in Afghanistan that we can and should never forget.

It’s easy to forgive ourselves for being swept up in everything COVID-19 related right now.

There is no doubt that our lives have changed forever since the virus landed on our shores.

It’s difficult being housebound, not being able to have

a sit down meal at a restaurant or catch up face-to-face with friends and family.

But spare a thought for those Australians who served in Afghanistan.

They signed up for a mission on the other side of the world to help free a nation full of people they had never met.

This wasn’t a nation that were housebound due to a pandemic, this was a nation that were held captive by group whose sole mission was to control its people with medieval and often brutal tactics, and act as a breeding ground for extremists willing to terrorise the West, to which we were not immune.

For many Afghans, they weren’t concerned about not being able order a meal at a restau-

rant – they were just concerned about how to put food on the table for their family.

They weren’t concerned about when they would catch up with their group of friends next – they just wanted to know that their friends and family were alive and safe.

For nearly twenty years, women and girls have been able to go to school, get a job and play sport – these basic things that so many of us take for granted will probably no longer be possible.

For the 39,000 ADF members who served in Afghanistan, the mission was simple.

They just wanted to help the people of Afghanistan, to establish democracy, to help build their nation. They wanted to

help secure safety for not only Afghanistan but also the world.

In order to do that they left their family and loved ones on the other side of the world for months – sometimes years – at a time.

They sacrificed their own wellbeing and safety for their mission and for the people of Afghanistan.

It is this selflessness and bravery that typifies our ADF personnel.

As we watch with great sadness at the images currently on our TV screens, we should never forget the contributions of the 39,000 who served, 249 who were wounded and 41 who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest we forget. We will remember them.

Greg Warren grew up in Dubbo, served as a soldier in the Australian Regular Army and is currently the NSW Shadow Minister for Veterans.

Breathe new life into much loved furniture Do you want to give your home interior a new look but your budget doesn’t allow for replacing all your furniture too?

There actually isn’t any need to go to that extreme while you have local experts servicing the region like Kooltrend who can breath new life into the look and feel of your favourite furniture.

Located at 98 Erskine Street, Kooltrend owner Steve McCauley has 40 years of experience in furniture upholstery.

“Reupholstering older furniture can save you money in the long run. If you’ve got a piece that’s been made to last QV \PM ÅZ[\ XTIKM Q\¼[ XZWJIbly going to see you through another generation or two, at least, so its worth giving it a facelift,” Steve says.

“Maybe the fabric is a bit outdated or its worn from long years of use but it’s well worth reupholstering a solid piece of furniture rather than wasting money on mass produced

products that lack quality and need replacing in just a few years.”

Renovation

Trends for 2021 COMFORT IS KING If being stuck at home in lockdowns and remote learning has taught us anything, it’s the importance of more comfortable, multifunctional spaces. And with international borders closed for now, many Australians are investing the holiday budget in home renovations to increase the equity in their properties, maximise spaces and create tranquil zones to unwind. In fact, according to Euromonitor International, Australian household budgets invested into home improvements is estimated to go up by 8.1 per cent this year.

&

Thumbs Up to Western Plains Automotive for their fantastic service.

They went above and beyond to help me.

'

Thumbs Down to the person who stole the red flag off my scooter. I left it unattended for no more than 10 minutes while buying a loaf of bread. I am 90 years old, I don’t think you can get much lower than that.

'

Thumbs Down to the condition of Wheelers Lane between Myall Street and Birch Avenue. It’s in urgent need of repair.

'

Thumbs Down to taxi drivers who will not turn their meters off when stuck on the big bridge in the traffic. Cost me twice as much!

&

Thumbs Up to Coles Dubbo’s new home delivery service. Our family has now used it a couple of times and it’s great for us. We love the special ‘human’ names each of the delivery trucks has, too!

&

Thumbs Up to anyone and everyone trying to help Dubbo get through this bout of Covid, let’s hope we can beat it quickly.

'

Thumbs Down to the large store that allowed a lady who looked badly drug-affected into the supermarket without a mask, despite being advised by customers that it was the wrong thing to do. When people are so scared of a confrontation that they allow this sort of behaviour to happen, no wonder we’re in such a world of trouble with the spread of Covid-19 in our local communities.

&

Thumbs Up to the staff/volunteers working the Covid testing at the showground. I was part of the hundreds of cars going through on Friday 13th, and they were doing an amazing job at managing such huge numbers of people!

'

Thumbs Down to the local people who’ve added fake ‘attacking’ emails to their already formidable

array of fake Facebook profiles. Get a decent life.

'

Thumbs Down to the 000 service which, when taking a call about a brawl involving a group of 12 people, asked – and I quote – “Do you think they have been in a hot spot?” Are we really at this stage?

&

Thumbs Up to Brooke at Orana Support Services.

Brooke and all the staff there work hard, assisting people desperate for housing and at risk of becoming homeless, some escaping violent situations. They are dealing with all age groups, often mental health problems and challenging situations. All done with empathy, kindness and a smile. Many thanks to all.

And their Op Shop, when it reopens after lockdown has a big variety of clothing, homewares and treasures at very good prices.

NEWS EXTRA

August 19-25, 2021 Dubbo Photo News

Letters from home Photo News... Delaware style Georgie Ramsey started life as a Dubbo kid, little knowing the world would turn out to be her oyster, or that she would work in many countries before settling in the USA where she’s now splitting her time between researching and lecturing at a university in the country’s North-East.

Last week she received an Aussie Rescue Package from Dubbo which included a copy of her favourite local newspaper.

Here, she talks with Dubbo Photo News about the joys and tribulations of being separated from her family by the world’s biggest ocean in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic, and how she’s looking forward to the day when her family is able to meet her fiancé.

•••

First of all, tell us a bit about yourself.

I was born at the Dubbo Base Hospital in 1990. In the early part of my life Dad and Mum owned Orana Locksmiths and my mum was on the local council when I was growing up so I spent a lot of time hanging out at council events. Her name is still on a plaque down on the Tracker Riley Cycleway. I went to school at Dubbo South Primary and then started high school at what was then Dubbo South High School, before moving to Newcastle in 2012. I went to the

Research in the DR Congo 2019

University of Newcastle, getting a Bachelor of Social Science and eventually a PhD in Sociology and Anthropology. My research focuses on refugees, and I’ve conducted fieldwork with people in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.

Where are you now?

After I graduated from the University of Newcastle I did a lot of travelling. I’ve now been to 40 countries. In 2016 I left Australia, travelling in Greece and Turkey with my best friend from Australia, staying with a friend in Scotland, hanging by myself in Eastern Europe, and then spending six months at Indiana University staying with friends while I wrote a book based on my PhD research (published in 2018). I was applying for work as a university lecturer all over the globe, and eventually I landed a job at the University of Delaware in 2017. I initially moved to Philadelphia, arriving after a long visit with my family in Australia with just myself and a backpack. But during the pandemic I moved to Delaware to get out of the city, and I love it here. I live 20 minutes from a town that is called the Mushroom Capital of the World (one of my hobbies

since moving to the US is foraging for wild mushrooms) and I am 45 minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast. What is not to love?

What are you up to – tell us about your job.

I am a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Delaware. My job is split between teaching anthropology classes and doing research. I am currently researching refugees from Africa and homelessness in the US. I love my job. Anthropology is the study of humans and culture. In my classes, I am not only teaching students in America about cultures in other places, but also teaching them to reflect on their own culture, trying to get them to “make the familiar strange, and the strange familiar.” Many people in the US do not realise their behaviours are deeply cultural, or that the rest of the world sees them in particular ways. I think having an outsider teach about culture in the US is really helpful.

How different is life in the US – prior to lockdown and now?

Life in the US is sort of like a parallel universe to home (Australia). It really is like a “familiar strange”.

Georgie Ramsey was over the moon to receive her monthly Aussie rescue package with Dubbo Photo News the highlight of the gifts. PHOTO: ANDREW CAMBRON

One of the major differences here is the emphasis on career and status; what I like most about Australia is that everyone gets to hang out at the pub on a Friday afternoon and no one talks about work or cares about what you do. There is also a really big culture of being outdoors here that I don’t think Australians associate with the US. I spend more time camping here and being at the beach (Delaware has beautiful beaches!) than I think I did in Australia!

America is a beautiful country. But during the pandemic, everything sort of changed. I hear about Australia going in and out of lockdown, and I feel a little bitter, because I spent 13 months (from March 2020 until I was fully vaccinated in April 2021) basically sheltering in place. My work went completely online in March

2020 and I still have not even been back to my office, let alone a classroom. The only place I would go was the grocery store, wearing a mask, or maybe to meet outside with friends. I felt jealous watching people back home have more freedom. Now it feels almost like the opposite!

The politics in the US is also intense, but something to remember is that it is always the most vocal people – like people storming the Capitol – who are represented to the outside world. That is not the majority of Americans.

You received an Aussie emergency kit – what was in it and why did you need it?

My dad sends care packages a few times a year, but it has been super hard being away from home this long (two years!) so this was definitely an emergency. He sent a

tube of Vegemite, no less than 13 packets of Tim Tams, eucalyptus drops like the ones I used to eat at school, a green and gold cap to wear to watch the Olympics and of course Dubbo Photo News to keep up with the news from home. I love reading the paper to see how the town I grew up in is growing and changing all the time!

Where to from here for the USA?

One of the things that simultaneously scares me but I love about the US is its intensity. There is a lot of political division right now, but it comes from a place where everyone cares deeply about their local communities. I am excited to see where that energy goes over the next few years. I think that, both in the US and Australia, we need to address the spread of misinformation online in order to channel that energy towards positive change.

How is Australia viewed from the US, or are we not even on the radar for the mainstream over there?

Australia is often not on the radar in the US at all. A lot of people have never met an Australian. The first thing people ask me about is the dangerous animals in Australia. I reply by telling people I am more scared of animals here. Bears and Mountain Lions, are you kidding me? My students write on evaluations that they think my accent is cute, so I like that.

Is the Olympics creating much distraction, diversion or excitement?

The Olympics have been amazing! Another thing Australia and America have in common is a deep love of sports – except, usually it is different sports! The big story of the Olympics this year over here was the “battle” between Americans and Aussies in the pool, and I have to say I think we (Aussies) cleaned up! It has been so much fun to watch it, cheering on my home country! I live with my American fiancé so we have had what is called a “divided household”. Every time an Australian was in a swim event, I would wear the green and gold hat my dad sent me in the emergency package and whoop! Drove my fiancé nuts but I swear it helped send luck to our swimmers to win so many medals! (Thanks, Dad.) We’ve also been watching/fighting about the Matildas in the soc-

I’ve also enjoyed watching the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team, since the star player, Ben Simmons, is Australian. I used to walk into pubs in Philly with my passport as ID and the bouncers would always stop me to chat about him, the only other Australian they really knew about!

Given your current distance from Australia and the more detached perspective that enables you to have, what advice do you have for Dubboites and Aussies in general?

I feel like Australians haven’t witnessed the destruction of the coronavirus first-hand, which is a good thing. I know many people in the US who have (contracted)

it and been really ill, and many people who have died. The child of a friend who was 20 years old (no underlying conditions) just passed away from complications from Covid just last night. He had been in a coma for months. Since I have witnessed this terrible thing first-hand and experienced a year of lockdown, I just want to advise that light is at the end of the tunnel, and urge people to think about the whole community rather than just individuals.

Part of the problem with the US is that it is a very individualistic country where the rights of the individual are supposed to have more value than the community. Australia has the oppor-

tunity to not follow America’s lead, and show our strong community spirit!

Anything you’d like to add?

My fiancé would like if you would add photo credit for him on the picture, he’s tickled that it will be in the paper. His name is Andrew Cambron. Another thing is that my dad has never even met his new future son-in-law because of Australia’s closed borders! Australia needs to be open in 2022 so that my dad, who has never been to visit, can come to the US for our wedding and walk me down the aisle! #paulintheUSA2022

Macquarie Rotary marks success during tough year DESPITE a difficult couple of years beset by a global pandemic’s restrictions, the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie members came together to celebrate the annual changeover, with outgoing president Lawrie Donoghue handing the reins to first-time president Susie Rowley.

Throughout the Covid-impacted past two years, the club focussed on connecting with community in the spirit of service, and supporting one another during testing times.

President Lawrie’s mantra for his year was “making a difference” and the club certainly reached the end of the Rotary calendar year having done just that, contributing $38,000 to various worthy causes during the course of the 12 months.

Some of the recipients included LeaderLife, the RFDS Dubbo Support Group, NALAG, Macquarie Homestay, the Central West Leadership Academy, Dubbo Community Kitchen, a program of headsets for Dubbo

dementia patients and the Nevertire Public Hall committee.

A special highlight of the evening was the awarding of one of Rotary International’s highest honours, a Paul Harris Fellowship, named in honour of the founder of Rotary and presented on the night to a very surprised Joh Leader who, along with her team from LeaderLife and Apollo House, works tirelessly and effectively to change the lives of young Aboriginal people who are doing it tough.

Another special presentation was made to two long-time club members, Peter English and John Stonestreet who always go well beyond the call of duty, particularly during the past two very challenging years.

Club member Garry Brown was also recognised for his outstanding efforts in spearheading the club’s second Tracks at the ‘Tree fundraiser, which was scuttled by Covid in 2020, but staged successfully in March 2021.

Outgoing president Lawrie Donoghue presented a special club service award to members Peter English and John Stonestreet

Cecelia Hutchison-Parsons representing the RFDS, with Sam Peacocke from the Rotary Club of Dubbo South and Suellyn Rees.

Allan Clark and Sally Coddington.

New president, Susie Rowley, was proud to introduce her incoming board for the 2021-22 year.

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.

Dubbo Photo News August 19-25, 2021

SPORT It’s in the DNA!

Send your Sport news to geoff.mann@dubbophotonews.com.au

By GEOFF MANN THIS is the working title for former Dubbo Photo News sports journalist Matt Logue following the Boomers’ historic performance at the Olympics.

The vision for the proposed book, “The Boomers – a six decade journey” comes from former Australian captain Andrew Gaze who gave a heart-rending after-match response as the Boomers snatched a long-awaited medal.

“He said Basketball is in the DNA of so many hard-working people. It is the DNA of the Boomers,” Gaze said with an unashamed tear in the eye.

The Australian sporting legend touched everyone with his straightfrom-the-heart reaction to the Boomers courageous performance.

Matt has become good friends with the man he calls “Gazey” over the past decade, writing about him as a player, interviewing him as a retiring captain and even sitting side-by-side in the commentary box.

“Gazey’s been a massive supporter of the sport in Australia. He was raised under a ring by his father Lindsay, one of the original Boomers and his coach on a number of Olympic campaigns,” he explained.

Matt agreed with Katie-Rae Ebzery’s summation.

“Andrew Gaze is amazing! He’s a massive supporter of Australian basketball. It was great to see how emotional he was after the Boomers won their first Olympic medal and so emotional about every player who has ever pulled on the Australian basketball singlet. He just lives for the sport.”

Matt reflected on what he calls the Gaze factor.

When dad Lindsay – regarded as the Godfather of basketball in Australia – played, there were only 200 players. Now there are over 2 million. The 84-year-old has established, nurtured and seen the fruits of his sport.”

Gazey’s pent-up emotion was understandable. He had endured four Olympic Games playoffs and finished fourth in everyone.

“The gentleman of basketball said ‘You don’t have to have a medal to have had a beautiful journey.’ and that is so true of him. He’s been selfless, forward looking and always optimistic. That he and his dad were able to experience that moment is one of the iconic moments in Australian sporting history,”

Matt effused.

He was equally as rapturous about Boomers’ captain Patty Mills.

“If an election for PM was held tomorrow, Patty would walk it in!”

Matt says the 42-point haul Mills clutched in the medal game was unbelievable.

“One of the best Olympic performances of any athlete from any country at any Games,” he gloated.

“I reckon his influence is on a par with Cathy Freeman in Australian sporting lore. Patty was inspired by Cathy; she has expressed similar feelings.

“You know, Geoff, Pat Mills flew up to Walgett last year in the midst of the drought to bring water and hope to his Indigenous people. He knew they were suffering and arranged for thousands of bottles of fresh water. He did it without fanfare!”

The Australian captain is acutely aware of his people who are now suffering as the Covid Delta strain reaches across the western plains. His understanding and compassion has been demonstrated recently when he inaugurated the Patty Mills Foundation across regional areas and invoked a State Cup. “Like Gazey, Patty does this without any thought for himself.”

Matt recalled the unbridled passion for basketball that he had seen up close with Andrew.

“We were in China a couple of years ago and the Boomers were in another bronze medal play off. Australia fell at the final throw. Gazey was so emotional after yet another tournament without material reward. The Boomers actually led Spain at half-time and were looking likely to end the medal hoodoo,” Matt recalled.

“Patty had a three-point shot to win the game but it went into double overtime and the Boomers lost. Again! The big fella slammed the table in frustration. It was like a bad dream for him.

He had ridden that rollercoaster too many times and he really felt the players’ pain.”

Andrew Gaze and Patty Mills are sure to feature strongly in Matt Logue’s follow up to his epic tome, “Hoop Dreams Down Under” when he pens “It’s in the Boomers DNA”.

I can’t wait for it to jump off the page.

Matt says it will be “the story of the most celebrated bronze medal in Australian sport”!

Katie-Rae’s dream five years in the making

SPORT

By GEOFF MANN OUR recent story on former Dubbo basketballer Helen Crooks’ daughter Katie-Rae Ebzery daughter created plenty of interest, especially from teammates of the former St Johns and Dubbo representative.

Over the weekend I caught up with Katie who was isolating in a hotel room in Sydney. We chatted about her mum’s days treading the boards of the old Royal Theatre and PCYC. I suggested she also ask Helen to describe the court at the Dubbo Showground where the posts were inside the field of play.

“I’ll put that on my to-do list when I catch up with mum,” Katie-Rae laughed.

The strapping (178cm) All Australian WNBL point scoring guard says her second Olympics was a little disappointing.

The Opals overcame a nil-two start to the tournament before scoring a stunning victory against Puerto Rico.

“The huge effort from our girls allowed us to get the points-differential we needed to progress to the quarters. Unfortunately we weren’t able to follow it up with another win and our medal hopes went out against the USA. We were hoping for a better start to our pool rounds so we wouldn’t have to meet them until the medal rounds.”

The Aussie team was hamstrung by lack of international practice games in the lead up to the Games. Katie-Rae was loath to use that as an excuse.

“The Olympics were everything we expected. We knew we would be in a bubble-like scenario and in spite of that, Tokyo really put on a show for us. The Japanese hosts did an amazing job!

“The village was so well organised. We had our own Team Australia area to gather – Covid safe and socially distanced – and we were able to train as normal. As I said, the big difference was we had very few trial matches, just a couple in the US

The recent Dubbo Photo News story on Katie-Rae Ebzery generated a lot of interest.

on our way over to Japan but others in Tokyo were cancelled because it was too risky.” r Katie-Rae did however concede that the t last-minute withdrawal of US WNBL star Liz Cambage meant the team had to s change its plans. c “It’s not ideal when your best player withdraws a week out from the Games w but b we made the most of it; changed our tactics a bit to suit the players who were t in i the squad and performed remarkably well w without her. Liz is a real powerhouse and has performed at the top level for a Australia in the past. We’re using it as an A excuse.

Sure it was disruptive but wasn’t e the t main reason we didn’t win a medal”.

Showing the maturity of a twelve-year veteran who started playing for Ausv tralia as an 18 year old, Katie-Rae was t philosophical.

“I think it just gave other players a chance to step up. There’s no doubt the whole team is stronger going forward.”

She conceded that not progressing to the medal playoffs hurt but was upbeat about the situation.

“We did our absolute best under trying circumstances.

Plans for when she is out of Iso? “To spend time with my partner and our dog! They’ve been battling on their own for the past few months. It will be so good to just hang out together!”

Katie will stay in Sydney until she is able to head north to catch up with mum Helen and dad Rob and her siblings Andrew, Mathew and Ali and take a dip at Nobbys or Merewether.

Once she has had a chance to recharge the batteries Katie-Rae will make some decisions about the upcoming home sea-

son and two huge tournaments ahead.

“I am hungry to play at next year’s Commonwealth Games Birmingham so we can defend our gold medal and then the World Cup is here in Australia in September. It is mighty tempting to play in front of packed houses in front of our supporters.”

I sense there is some “unfinished business” lurking as motivation but Katie has not yet made up her mind about the next Olympics in Paris.

“That’s three years away and a lot of hard work! I’d love to go to Paris – and so would my family after missing out on Tokyo. I’ll see how things go, sit down with my partner and team officials and then we’ll make that call,” the affable champion smiled.

Katie-Rae is truly a gem. In fact, she’s a great Australian Opal!

We used to love travelling for basketball LISA McKittrick (Snare) remembers Helen as a real star when they played together in Dubbo.

“Helen was tall and strong.

She was in our Under 16s team that played in red and white PCYC colours when we won the NSW Championships. Our coach Jace Hay and Barb Amos and other parents used to pack us up on weekends and we’d

play all over the state. It was tiring but we had a lot of fun.”

That team formed the basis of the Ramettes who played in the Womens’ State league in the early 1980s.

“Teena Amos, Margie Duffy (O’Connor), Sharon O’Brien (Fardell), and Lynda Macadam were great fun to be with and Jace was a really skilled and

dedicated coach.”

Unfortunately the photos of that team are stowed away as Lisa and husband Andrew are in the throes of moving house but she did find a faded photo with her and her friend, Helen.

“We got together a couple of years ago for our 40-year reunion and Helen let it slip that Katie-Rae was playing for Aus-

tralia. We were very excited and of course we watched her at the Commonwealth Games, World Cup and then in Tokyo.”

Lisa says it is fitting that Helen Crooks’ daughter has reached the top.

“Helen left Dubbo to further her own career. She played plenty of rep basketball in Sydney and Newcastle and she’s still

heavily involved in administration and coaching. Katie-Rae and her younger sister Ali are both outstanding players so Helen should be very proud.

Lisa says it is testimony to something she has learned in life, getting together with mates, meeting new friends and achieving goals.’

“Sport binds us all together.”

NSW Health advises that people aged over 70 are at greater risk of more severe symptoms if they are infected with COVID-19.

This may mean you need to be more cautious about who you choose to see and where you choose to go.

Whatever you decide, it’s important to follow the same health and safety advice that applies to the whole community: z get tested if you have any symptoms, even if they are only mild z practise good hand hygiene z maintain a physical distance of at least 1.5 metres from others, unless you’re in the same household z stay active and healthy z take extra care if you're around vulnerable people z follow the rules about gatherings, particularly around weddings, funerals and worship.

Face masks IT is recommended you wear a face mask z when physical distancing can't be guaranteed z if you have symptoms and are seeking medical advice z if you are in self-isolation and in the same room as another person z if you are required to when entering a premises or facility such as medical clinic or aged care home z if NSW Health recommends you wear a mask

Visiting aged care facilities NSW HEALTH provides tailored advice for the wearing of masks to aged care facilities and other health settings such as hospitals, specific to the location.

Before you go, find out the current arrangements in place for any facility you plan to visit.

Going to a place of worship WHEN you go to your place of worship there are things you should expect will be different under COVID-19 restrictions. z Depending on the premises, there may be limitations on how many people can enter at one time. z Staff or people required for the services may be allowed in addition to guests and not count towards the limit. This is only allowed if physical distancing and other COVID-19 precautions are observed. z Everyone should maintain physical distancing and good personal hygiene. z Organisers should have conditions of entry at all entrances, and these should be available on the organisation’s website and social media platforms. z Staff may ask you to enter or leave the premises at a particular time or through a specific door to reduce crowding at the entrance or exit. z Individuals, businesses and organisations must comply with the current public health orders restrictions and manage risks (including COVID-19) to staff and other people under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.

Staying connected when self-isolating IF you are self-isolating for any reason, take care of your mental wellbeing by staying connected with your community, family, and friends. While you might not be able to see people in person, you can stay in touch by calling, emailing, texting or connecting by video call.

Keeping active and healthy IF you are limiting your contact with other people you still need to look after your regular health.

Keep yourself active and healthy by: z getting some fresh air and exercise

z eating a healthy and balanced diet z looking after your regular medical needs z keeping to an active and healthy daily routine.

Get help at home IF you need help at home, visit (or ask someone to help you access) the My Aged Care website to find out about the home care available to you on an ongoing basis or even for a short time.

This might include services that will help you z stay well and independent z be safe in your home z keep in touch with your community.

If you’re feeling unwell DO not attend religious services, weddings, funerals or other gatherings in person if you are feeling unwell or think you may have any COVID-19 symptoms.

You may want to ask the organisers if they will livestream the event so that you can watch it online and participate from home.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever cough a sore or scratchy throat shortness of breath runny nose loss of smell or loss of taste.

Even if you only have mild symptoms, do not go out except to get tested as soon as possible.

After you've been tested, you should stay home while you are waiting for test results. z z z z z z z

Who is at higher risk of COVID-19 YOU may be fit and healthy however NSW Health advice is that being over 70 means you’re at a higher risk of more serious illness from COVID-19.

Vulnerable people

Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN)

YOU do need to be careful around vulnerable people and NSW Health asks older and medically vulnerable people to limit their activities to protect themselves.

NSW Health considers people are more vulnerable to coronavirus infection if they: z have a compromised immune system, such as cancer z have a diagnosed chronic medical condition z are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander z live in a group residential aged care facility.

If you have friends or family members who are vulnerable, you can help them by z staying in touch, but not visiting vulnerable people if you are unwell z dropping off groceries or other essentials if they need support.
