COMMENT By JOHN RYAN

LOCKDOWN THAT GOOD BOOK!

ESCAPING into a good book has never been more valuable as we all search for ways to maintain our wellbeing throughout arguably one of the most challenging times society as we know it has yet

faced. Dubbo Photo News asked some of our community’s leaders to share their thoughts on their favourite books.

DUBBO is the current epicentre of regional NSW’s Covid-19 outbreak and the crisis is impacting on our city in so many ways. And there could be a perfect storm approaching, with 7000 truck drivers at logistics company Toll Group set to strike tomorrow (Friday, August 27), a move which could disrupt the supply chains which keep food and other essential items on Dubbo’s supermarket shelves. Already many shelves at Dubbo Empty shelves supermarkets have at Woolworths Orana Mall yes- been stripped bare as locals stock up terday morning with ‘major shops’ because of fears they could catch Covid-19 if they make too many regular trips to get their groceries, with supermarkets one of the main hotspots when it comes to catching Covid-19.

Dubbo won’t be declared a hotspot By NATALIE LEWIS DUBBO won’t be declared as a Covid-19 hotspot, NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro has said, despite case numbers rising by the day. In a regional media conference on Tuesday, Mr Barilaro told Dubbo Photo News that expanding restrictions would not achieve anything in relation to combating the issue. “The numbers are bouncing up and down, (but) it’s shown consistency. We don’t think it’s necessary (to declare a hotspot). It’s about compliance.” Mr Barilaro said maintaining the current directive was important and urging residents to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. In this regard, there were 130 infringements across the Western Region on Monday night, 30 of them in Dubbo. “We know there are a number of backroads out of Dubbo, not “There’s a level of security Mr Barilaro said additional po- in Dubbo and surrounding areas. just the main roads.

Stay home message renewed By NATALIE LEWIS NARROMINE Hospital will be dedicated to the care of Covid patients from rural and remote communities in our district, Western NSW Local Health District CEO Scott McLachlan has announced. From here, patients from Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobar and Nyngan and surrounding villages can easily be transferred to Dubbo Hospital for intensive care and highly skilled clinicians if necessary. Mr McLachlan said Dubbo’s paediatric ward has become a base for children who are confirmed cases or close contacts that need accommodation. And with increasing case numbers in the Central Tablelands, he said Bathurst’s emergency de-

partment would be expanded to the Panorama Clinic, with ongoing treatment of mental health patients to be transferred to their homes with visits from specialised staff. Describing how Covid-19 had now also been detected in Cobar, Coonamble, Parkes, Forbes, Gilgandra, Gulargambone and Goodooga, Mr McLachlan said it was time for care and concern. “There’s growing numbers in our smaller com-

munities and we need to assume that Covid is in our communities and households across the region,” he said. With 13 patients currently hospitalised, five in intensive care and one ventilated, Mr McLachlan described the growing number as a worrying number. He urged residents to stay at home unless there was absolute need to go out for care or essential services.

“We are still seeing way too much movement around the community and between communities,” he said. “This is the most crucial time for us to stop and stay.” NSW Assistant Police Commissioner Geoff McKechnie said NSW Police have deployed additional officers from Sydney into the Western Region, with additional policing resources in Bourke and Wilcannia.

How to get vaccinated this weekend THERE will be a walkin clinic at Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre from 10am to 4pm on Thursday, August 26, Trangie Memorial Hall from 11am to 4pm on Friday, August 27 and from 9am to 3pm

on Saturday, August 28 and Brewarrina Senior Citizens Centre from 10am to 4pm on Friday, 9am to 4pm on Saturday and 9am to 3pm on Sunday. Wellington now has its own vaccination

clinic in the WACHS carpark by appointment and the Dubbo Vaccination Clinic is now at the Woolpack Pavilion at Dubbo Showground. More information is available at wnswlhd. health.nsw.gov.au

The police are also being assisted by the Australian Defence Force with compliance and wellbeing checks. “There’s still a level of non-compliance across the region. There are too many people moving around when they shouldn’t be,” he said, adding that 150 infringements including 30 in Dubbo had recently been issued. “The time for warnings has passed.” Anyone outside their home must wear a mask unless they have a medical condition and hold an exemption. This must be carried with them at all times or a $500 fine applies. “It’s more than an infringement, it’s more than a penalty, it’s about doing the right thing for your community.”

Government’s “slap in the face” for local news DEPUTY Premier John Barilaro’s decision to use Twitter to announce the lockdown of regional NSW has some parliamentary representatives and local media outlets seeing red. Member for Barwon Roy Butler joined with NSW upper house Shooters Fishers and Farmers (SFF) colleague Mark Banasiak in saying the exclusion of regional newspapers from the government’s Covid-19 messaging is ‘unforgivable’. The denouncement echoes sentiments expressed by Country Press NSW, which represents 30 newspapers across the state, including Dubbo Photo News, calling the use of social media over regional press “a slap in the face” for the bush. Country Press NSW president Lucie Peart, managing editor and owner of the Gilgandra Weekly and Nyngan Weekly, said using Twitter instead of local papers was “a kick in the guts” for bush media which is usually the first point of contact for many of the region’s communities, “especially those with aged populations”. The SFF also pointed to the “many people” in regional NSW whose access to the internet is limited or non-existent, and further that “many wouldn’t know what Twitter is”. Mr Barilaro defended his use of social media for the announcement, citing the difficulty in relaying information in a timely manner during the weekend, an assertion dismissed by Ms Peart. “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,” she said. Mr Butler has called for an immediate review of the government’s communications decisions, saying “rural and regional newspapers remain the most trusted media source for communities in our regions” and should therefore have the support of and be included in all government marketing campaigns. Ms Peart also pointed to the hypocrisy of the government spending tens of millions of dollars on social media only to then urge its constituents not to take notice of “the misinformation being spread by social media”.

TRIVIA TEST

MARRIAGE OFF TO A FLYING START

Tom and Caitlyn Gadsby’s married life is off to a ﬂying start, the pair joined in matrimony and a shared love for all things aviation. The low pass from a RAAF Hercules sealed the deal for the happy couple. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By JOHN RYAN THE rolling uncertainty from Covid lockdowns didn’t daunt one local couple who were determined to say “I do”, even though the global pandemic conspired to say “No, you don’t”. Caitlyn Jubb and Tom Gadsby were engaged in December 2020 and began the task of planning their wedding, choosing Orange as the location with a target date of Friday, July 23. Once the invitations were sent out the pair began planning the finer details until disaster struck on June 26, when the NSW Government announced new restrictions for the state. “Mask wearing was now re-

quired indoors, and the one person per four square meter rule returned,” the newly-minted Mrs Gadsby told Dubbo Photo News. “Slightly disheartened but determined to do the right thing, we proceeded to cut our guest list from 120 to 75 in order to meet the new spacing requirement. “For the weeks following we worked hard to ensure the wedding met all the Covid restrictions and the requirements of the vendors to ensure it was a Covid-safe event.” When the week of the wedding rolled around, exhausted but with full hearts and the relief that they had done everything they could to have a fun and safe wedding on the Friday, those dreams came

crashing down. Just three days out from the big event and without any notice, Orange went into a snap lockdown and the wedding had to be cancelled. Instead of being defeated, the couple called all their guests that night and told them they would still get married on the Friday and they would call the next day with a plan...and plan they did. “By lunchtime on July 21 we’d organised a new wedding day, 300kms from Orange,” she said. “We found a new church, priest, band, venue, caterer, bar staff and hire company.” Family and friends helped set up the Curban Hall, the guests adjusted their plans, the Gulargam-

bone Lions Club ran the bar, local friends waited tables and a priest they’d never met married the pair with the assurance from the original priest that these two were a good couple. Amidst all this chaos the aviation mad couple went to get some photos at the Gilgandra airport in Tom’s Cessna 182. “By pure coincidence the RAAF’s C-130 Hercules aircraft was doing training circuits at the same time,” Mrs Gadsby said. “What had been an incredibly tiring and emotional few days resulted in a wedding that saw plans abandoned, community spirit shine, love conquer all and the most memorable wedding photos captured.”

Mayor speaks out on Covid concerns By NATALIE LEWIS DUBBO Region Mayor Stephen Lawrence spoke of his concerns around the latest Covid-19 outbreak in a mayoral minute at Monday night’s council meeting. “The latest outbreak of Covid-19 is deeply affecting our region and in particular, our Abo-

riginal community, with a high majority of cases in that community,” he said. “There are now more than 200 active cases in our region, which shows the rate the virus is increasing in our community by 20 to 30 a day. “The reality is that it is spreading at a very high rate. We are in-

Truckie strike could impact supermarket shelves From page 1

Dubbo Photo News hopes as many locals as possible have enough supplies to last them a week. 2000 workers at other corporate transport companies are set to apply to the Fair Work Commission in the hope they can also take industrial action. The Transport Workers Union believes up to 15,000 drivers could eventually be involved in the industrial action and says the strike is all about a collapsed enterprise bargaining agreement, claiming some major transport companies are wanting to strip workers of their job security and lower overheads by employing contractors

and labour hire drivers. For its part, Toll has claimed the proposed strike action is grandstanding from the union. It’s been a tough few months for truckies, with drivers denied access to roadhouses for meals, showers and even toilet breaks, although that access is being reinstated. Drivers are also appealing for priority when it comes to Pfizer jabs, with some states threatening to close borders to workers who haven’t been vaccinated. Added to that drama, many truckies spend hours sitting down in their driver seats, similar to travelling on an airliner, and they’re concerned about the well-documented blood clotting side-effects from the Astra Zeneca vaccine.

Wello testing clinic moved

From India, with love

WESTERN NSW Local Health District’s Covid-19 testing clinic at Wellington has moved to the Wellington Civic Centre at 21 Swift Street. The clinic operates from 10am to 4pm, seven days a week with entry via the main entrance. Everyone in the community is encouraged to come forward for testing and re-testing. Widespread, sustained testing is crucial to ensuring we keep communities safe. Symptoms associated with Covid-19 include fever, cough, breathing difficulties, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, runny nose, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. This is a walk-in clinic; no bookings are required. For more information on Covid-19 vaccination, visit www. healthdirect.gov.au

DUBBO may have been experiencing fear and uncertainty during its first week of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and a spiralling number of Delta-variant cases, but spare a thought for Emily Menon, who hails from western NSW and whose parents call Dubbo home. She’s endured month after month of lockdown, crashing unemployment all around her and an overloaded hospital system. Dubbo Photo News spoke with her back in June last year, here’s her story 14 months on. ••• In 2020, India imposed one of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world – impacting 1.38 billion people. My husband and I were among them, and soon after, my son Om joined in. Being a firsttime mother in a pandemic is mentally challenging to say the least. No mums’ groups or playdates or visits from nurses. It has been very isolating. I was fortunate to find a WhatsApp group of other foreign mums married to Indians, however we’ve only managed to meet for lunch twice. And then most friends don’t want to come visit for fear of “bringing the virus” near Om, so it really has been very lonely. I did get some daily company on my morning walks when I chatted with the local “chai-walla” (tea man), street sweepers and homeless people I see every day. This small human contact actually did wonders for my mental health, especially when my hus-

band went back to work. On top of that, I struggled physically also – being confined to a two bedroom, 70 square metre apartment whilst in my last trimester and after the baby was born took its toll. I suffered diastasis recti post birth and with an existing back injury, I struggled to walk and had chronic pain for months. I’ve been doing “virtual” physio for almost 14 months now and just three weeks back, managed to find a personal trainer who I train with in our building compound, and who has been getting me back in shape. Mumbai doesn’t really have any “public space” and the few parks it does have have been locked up for most of the past 18 months. It’s been crazy. Swathes of people are out walking or cycling on the roads every morning and evening and so “exercising” while maintaining social distance is a real challenge. Pools are also closed which hits me hard as I love to swim. The second wave that hit India was bad and when another lockdown was announced in Mumbai, I didn’t cope well. It’s hard to describe the mental struggle of feeling “trapped” and unable to do anything or go anywhere. The monotony was a killer. While we are the lucky ones with a roof over our heads, jobs (I’m doing part time consulting) and no one affected by Covid-19, the mental struggle is real. We’ve all lost count of the days, but it feels as if we’ve been in an eternal full or partial lockdown for the past 18 months.

Emily Menon, with baby Om and husband RN, have virtually been in some manner of lockdown for the past 14 months. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

I’ve been craving nature, being a girl from the bush and not being able to leave the city to be among trees (until just last week when we managed to escape to a coastal village for three nights) has been possibly the hardest. But on the bright side of things, the pandemic has meant my husband has been working from home or not working and at home, for most of my son’s life and so that has been a blessing most families don’t get. While it’s been difficult, having a newborn baby certainly takes your mind off the circumstances and keeps you occupied – another blessing. And of course Om is a joy. I’ve been dreaming of long walks or cycles along the Macquarie River walking path in Dubbo or diving into that beautiful 50 metre swimming pool you have there. Going for a walk was actually not allowed for a long time. Peo-

We are open

ple were literally not allowed to leave the house, except for accessing essential services or groceries. My husband got in trouble at one point for working out in the building compound. I am longing to get back to see my family, but the long-haul flight and quarantine are daunting with a one-year-old and it’s been unclear how to get back again to India. Yes even with all we’ve been through, I do want to get back to “home”. A real Covid baby, poor Om has hardly had any human contact. The two of us, Rohit’s parents, and two ladies who come home to help us, but few other interactions with kids and a very small world until now. We recently took him on a boat when we went away and he was so excited to see other people, see the ocean and have a change of scenery, it was a joy to watch.

Waste winner for creative kids

Women’s Equality Day AUGUST 26 is Women’s Equality Day, marking 101 years since women officially became part of the US constitution. This day marks a turning point in the history of the struggle for equal treatment of women and women’s rights. Today, women’s equality has grown to mean much more than just sharing the right to the vote. Organisations such as Equality Now and Womankind Worldwide continue to work to provide women across the globe with equal opportunities to education and employment, pushing against suppression and violence towards women and against the discrimination and stereotyping which still occur in every society.

Clariﬁcation: Cooma not in Colbran’s region

By NATALIE LEWIS WASTE to art has been taken to the next level by the students of Ballimore and Eumungerie Public Schools whose work now decorates the side of waste transfer bins used across the Dubbo region. The project is the brainchild of Dubbo Regional Council (DRC), which teamed up with Zest Events and the students to add some colour and creativity to the disposal units. The Ballimore bin is now themed “Recycling creates a happy world” while Eumungerie’s bin is “Working towards a sustainable school”. Ballimore Public School relieving principal Margot Jasprizza was thrilled with the project and described the waste transfer bin artwork as “an amazing opportu-

nity for our small school”. “The students were so lucky to be under the instruction of Zac Craig, the artist who facilitated the artwork.” Mrs Jasprizza explained the artwork was created by paper tearing, collaging, gluing and by using their perception of self to create a self-portrait. “It was wonderful to see the students so excited and engaged. “When the transfer bin arrived, it took our breath away. Our artwork transferred onto a big skip bin! Who would have thought?” DRC Manager Waste Recovery and Efficiency John Wisniewski said the project gave the kids ownership of their community and a sense of civic pride. “By engaging these smaller schools to come up with a theme and design, it gives the kids a sense of ownership and connec-

tion to the community, especially when they get to see their artwork displayed on the side of a truck travelling between their village and Dubbo,” he said. Ballimore and Eumungerie bins join those of Geurie and Stuart Town which were designed in 2019. “When we shifted to the transfer bin model, we wanted students to feel connected to their community while also learning some important sustainability and resource conservation lessons,” Mr Wisniewski said. Mr Wisniewski said the project has engaged the next generation in the war on waste, reinforcing key messages about sustainability which are being taught in school. “We have education campaigns currently rolling out in primary schools about the importance of proper waste disposal, but this

just goes one step further to helping have that understanding.” Dubbo-born artist Zachary Craig helped the students along their creative journey which focuses on the importance of recycling and having a clean, green community. “Zest Events is proud to partner with DRC to deliver fun and engaging activities like this. The children at Ballimore were so excited to come up with a great concept for their transfer bin. In the end, the theme they chose centred around recycling and reusing materials, which is about ensuring we have a more sustainable future,” he said. Mr Craig is an experienced product designer whose skills include model making, solid works and traditional painting. He was also part of the Dubbo Region’s Chalk Walk during 2020.

THE article “The best of times, the worst of times” about NSW Police Sergeant Jan Colbran on page 17 of the August 19 edition of Dubbo Photo News stated that Sergeant Colbran’s role in the Orana Mid-Western Police District Crime Prevention Unit includes travelling to outstations as far afield as Wellington, Narromine and Cooma in the Snowy Mountains. While it covers a geographic area bigger than Switzerland, the Domestic Violence unit does not include Cooma. In this unit, Sergeant Colbran and her colleagues travel to all of the outstations as part of their duties. She does general duties at Wellington, Narromine and Dubbo.

Keeping connected with Covid-safe cuppa By JEN COWLEY THEY’VE been mates and neighbours for more than a decade, so Laurie Schroder and Dianne Baker aren’t about to let a little thing like a global pandemic come between them. Dubbo Photo News happened to be driving past last week and spotted the two friends sharing a Covid-safe cuppa and a chat in the warm morning sunshine. The pair had pulled up a stump each and were perched in their separate driveways, a safe 10 feet (three metres) or so between them, happily proving social distance doesn’t have to mean social isolation. Laurie, who had surgery on her arm just a day before this latest lockdown, said the morning catch-up and cuppa were ‘the best medicine’. “At the moment, I’m a little bit unco-ordinated, you might say. I’m a bit winged from the surgery, so it’s been nice to have that bit of company,” she said. When the first Covid-19 restrictions confined everyone to their quarters last year, the pair took to setting up their camp chairs in their driveways to keep each other company. “Every couple of days, we’d each make a cup of coffee and we’d sit out the front on the footpath. “This time because we’re back in lockdown again, Dianne rang and said, “Feel like a cuppa out the front? “So we pulled up our chairs and had a lovely morning.”

Road safety funding for Mendooran Road

NEW road safety upgrades and improvements will be delivered to the Mendooran Road following an allocation of $59,031 in funding. The Road Safety Program funds are to install full width traversable clear zone and curve alignment markers on the Mendooran Road, 18km to 20km north of Mollyan. “I’m pleased to see this funding will be used to enhance safety along two kilometres of the Mendooran Road, which is a key freight route, linking up to the Newell Highway,” Parkes MP Mark Coulton said. “This vital funding delivers life-saving upgrade works to keep people safe and help reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries occurring on our regional roads. It also provides a critical boost to local jobs and the economy, which is especially important during these uncertain times.”

Laurie feels it’s very important to keep connected during these challenging and potentially isolating times. “I have my husband here, but of course, we can’t see our other family, so it’s nice to have that little extra bit of company. “Dianne and I get along well, so it’s nice to have some happy time and switch off from all the doom and gloom. It’s like neighbours having a yarn over the back fence – just that it’s over the driveway instead!”

Technology is all very well, she says, ‘but it’s not the same’. “I could pick up the phone and ring half a dozen people in five minutes, but it’s not the same as that face-to-face contact which you can still do without putting anyone at risk as long as you keep that couple of metres between you.” Finding ways to keep up that connection without putting themselves or others in danger’s way is important.

“It’s the Aussie way to look out for each other, isn’t it?” Laurie says, urging everyone to try to reach out to their neighbours or to friends who might need a bit of company. “You don’t have to be in each other’s pockets but it’s nice to be able to keep in touch, particularly in these difficult times, and not be isolated and alone in your own world. “And how nice is it to be out here in the sunshine?”

Little Wings delivering hope By JOHN RYAN

LITTLE Wings is morphing and adapting to meet the unique challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Dubbo Photo News has done numerous stories on Little Wings, a small operation based at Sydney’s Bankstown Aerodrome which helps so many families in the Dubbo region by providing free flights for seriously ill children to ensure access to life-saving medical treatment only available in major cities. It’s an 89 per cent volunteer-run organisation, including every pilot and every driver, ensuring every service is delivered with heart and compassion. Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns have thrown a massive spanner in the works and at times it has been almost impossible for families to be flown into Newcastle and Sydney for treatment, with not only heightened health risks, but also the immune-compromised status of many of the patients. To counter those obstacles, Little Wings established a new program called Medical Wings, a program that flies city-based pediatric specialists out to regional and remote locations to deliver pop-up clinics in partnership with local services such as hospitals, Aboriginal Medical Centres and Health Services. Medical Wings is still in its infancy but has already had a significant impact, delivering more than 33 clinics across regional and remote NSW, providing specialist care to more than 630 children with chronic illness or serious injury as well as providing face-to face training for more than 180 regional healthcare workers to help boost local capacity. On August 4, Little Wings flew a pediatric cardiologist to Dubbo to deliver a clinic for local families, the first such clinic in the region, delivered in partnership with the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN) to complement its virtual care services, with the aim of continuing to support children and their health and care needs in the midst of the pandemic, in a Covid-safe and consistent manner. To protect the health and well-being of the Dubbo community and every Little Wings passenger, pilots and medical specialists transported are vaccinated and Covid tested every 72-hours,

adhering to NSW Health regulations and creating confidence in regional communities. That flight was been funded by Central West Charity Tractor Trek Group Inc. a group that each year runs the tractor-a-thon to raise funds for Little Wings – that’s vital because the service receives no government funding and is reliant on the support of regional communities and ClubsNSW to help keep it in the air. Little Wings CEO Clare Pearson said everyone involved with the organisation is passionate about health and about closing the gap in regional health care. “Ensuring seriously ill children have the access to the medical services they need and deserve to ensure a happy and healthy life, but also the resources to ensure they reach their full potential,”

she said. Central West Charity Tractor Trek Group president Mal Porter said the groups wanted to support children from the Central West and make a positive difference in their lives and the wider community. “So we do our bit to raise money and help Little Wings to achieve that goal,” Mr Porter said. “Little Wings has been our chosen charity for three years and we are proud to say that together we have supported hundreds of children and the Medical Wings program expands that reach even further.” Dr. Phillip Roberts heads up the Department for Cardiology/Heart Centre for Children at Sydney Children’s Hospital Network and said these types of services to the bush are vital.

“We understand the need for specialist medical teams across remote and regional areas of NSW to be significant, and in providing the needed medical services, we not only assist the patient, but also the referring practitioner, the local health service and paediatricians,” Dr Roberts said. “A service such as Little Wings makes sense as it allows us to reach patients and communities in need, up to 20 per day, and reduce the need for extensive travel over long distances and eases the increasing pressure placed on the healthcare system overall. “I am very grateful to be working with Little Wings and look forward to working in partnership with them to deliver the essential medical services needed, both in the current COVID climate and beyond.”

THINK What have I got to lose?

Food for thought on obesity strategy WHILE most of us in Dubbo, and in fact across the whole state, are focussing on Covid-19 as the number one health issue at the moment, there’s no doubt that obesity is still a significant threat to our overall wellbeing. With an estimated two thirds of adults and a quarter of all children now sitting above a healthy weight, research released by the NSW Cancer Council shows strong and sustained community support for obesity prevention policies on food labelling and marketing to children. The organisation has joined with others in the public health sector to call for the release of the National Obesity Strategy, which has been delayed until 2022. Evidence continues to suggest obesity as a risk factor for 13 different cancers, and now also as a risk factor for more severe Covid-19 symptoms and mortality. There is also an emerging concern over changes in food consumption and physical activity patterns during periods of prolonged lockdown. Findings from a survey of 1600 people conducted by the NSW Cancer Council showed that 71 per cent believe a health star rating on foods should be mandatory, while 77 per cent think regulation should stop unhealthy foods making claims about nutrition that give the impression they’re healthier than they are. Of the respondents, 65 per cent felt children should be protected from unhealthy food advertising, and more than 70 per cent were worried about healthy food ads on television and junk food companies sponsoring children’s sport. The Cancer Council believes that as a nation, we are dragging the chain when it comes to policies to addressing rising obesity rates, including measures to mandate food labelling, regulation of food marketing and taxes on sugary drinks. While acknowledging the good work NSW Health has done so far to address obesity rates, the Cancer Council is calling on the National Obesity Strategy to be released as a matter of urgency. Work on this important document begin in 2018.

Juicy deal sees Narromine oranges US bound OUR American cousins are about to learn what we’ve known for years – Narromine grows the best oranges in the world. In a new deal struck between Australia and the US, new markets in America will open up to more of our home-grown fresh citrus fruit including oranges from Narromine and Bourke. Last year, $19 million worth of citrus fruit produced in certain areas of Australia made its way to the tables of Americans, but came exclusively from the Riv-

erina, Sunraysia and Riverland (South Australia) regions. Australia’s agriculture minister David Littleproud says the details are still being worked out but once finalised, producers from Queensland, Western Australia and right here in the western region will be added to the list of exporters of fresh citrus fruit bound for the US. Australia’s citrus production is set to hit approximately 800,000 tonnes this season, and while the majority of that juicy haul comes

from those regions currently exporting to the US, about 20 per cent is produced in Queensland and Western Australia. Citrus exports are worth about half a billion dollars every year, and the US is a premium market, currently valued at some $20 million annually. With this new export market opening up, Narromine and Bourke will proudly add to that total with arguably the best oranges on the planet, but we may be biased.

Knock on wood: debate over smoke ﬁres up

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/JEN COWLEY

HOUSEHOLDERS across Dubbo and the region who rely on wood for heating will be interested in a recent report suggesting wood smoke is killing people, which has poured fuel on the fire of debate over the long-term health impacts of exposure. The report, published in the Medical Journal of Australia and authored by a researcher from the University of New England in Armidale, found that smoke from wood fires is proving lethal for ’at least 14’ of the town’s residents each year. According to an ABC report on the research, the findings have implications for the entire state, with the NSW government currently conducting a review of its clean air strategy. The new data collected by Dr Dorothy Robinson, who is also an Armidale City councillor, suggests that smoke from wood heaters is responsible for more deaths than previously thought. If correct, that’s cause for alarm for the estimated 10 per cent of NSW homes that use wood fires as their main source of heating. Some 40 per cent of winter time air pollution in Sydney is said to come from wood heaters, which was previously thought to equate to approximately 100 premature deaths, according to the report. The new research calls that figure into question and suggests the number of deaths has been significantly underestimated. However, NSW environment minister Matt Kean has reassured the public that the state has the “strongest air quality regulatory framework in the world” and that there would be no move to ban wood heaters. He says wood heating is “one of the most cost-effective for families” and is an “environmentally friendly fuel”. Minister Kean dismissed the concerns as ‘politically motivated’, saying that while he agrees clean air is important, wood heating is ‘sustainable, renewable and virtually carbon neutral’. He says the government requested the CSIRO conduct research into wood heating, and it was determined that “firewood produces less greenhouse gas than all other domestic heating options.” The Australian Home Heating Association (AHHA) says Australia’s standards regarding wood heaters are “the toughest in the world” and that it’s important not to be “misled with scare tactics”. A spokesperson said millions of hard-working people rely on wood for heating, and encouraged all Australians and politicians “to do their research when it comes to wood heating – one of the most cost-efficient and greenhouse-friendly heating options”.

DUBBO’S median house price may be hovering around the $400,000 mark but when it comes to penthouse living and water views, our regional city is now mixing it price-wise with some of the nation’s expensive coastal real estate. Local businessman John Walkom – who’s behind the No1 Church Street high rise development along with brother Kevin and retailer Gerry Harvey – told Dubbo Photo News the first five days of sales before the snap lockdown had been “fantastic”, with more than 30 per cent of apartments being sold off the plan. “At this rate all the apartments could be sold by early September,” Mr Walkom said. “Encouragingly the buyers are mainly locals wanting to live in the landmark building. “This shows the confidence in the market and the product on offer. It also shows Dubbo is maturing as a regional city and its people are looking for quality cosmopolitan living. “The apartment building and other new commercial buildings planned

for the Dubbo CBD’s main street shows the underlying confidence that is reflected in Dubbo and its regional economy,” he said. Gerry Harvey, who has been doing business with the Walkom Brothers for the past 35 years, said he was pleased to see the record price set during his foray into Dubbo property development. “The views of the city to the north, south, east, west and along the river corridor are going to be breathtaking for those investing and living in No.1 Church St,” Mr Harvey told Dubbo Photo News. “I don’t think property prices have ever been as strong in the country. This is nothing to do with Covid-19, we made the

decision to do it before (the pandemic). “A lot of people are starting to move to the country. Demand for the country has never been like this before. I don’t think property prices have been as strong. You can’t rent houses in country cities, because they are all rented out.” The 13-story building will boast 10 levels of

apartments and is currently selling off the plan from the display suite at 99 Macquarie St, with the project due for completion towards the end of 2022. The demolition of the current building on the site will commence in the last week of August and excavation of the site is planned for completion early in November.

Huge response to West Dubbo walk-in Covid vax clinic

Police concerns over Covid transmission

THERE has been a huge response to the West Dubbo walk-in Covid-19 vaccination clinic with extensive waiting times in the opening days of Operation Access. Vaccine eligibility is as follows: z 12 years and over – Pfizer for people who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or who have a significant underlying medical condition or disability z 16-59 years – Pfizer for people from the general population z 60 years and over – AstraZeneca for people from the general population Operation Access will be at Pioneer Park, West Dubbo from 9am to 4.30pm until August 29. Patients are advised to bring identification and their Medicare card.

WESTERN Region Commander Assistant Commissioner Geoff McKechnie said people were still travelling from Sydney to the NSW Central West and “bringing COVID-19 with them”. “If people know about these things, if you’re hiring people, if you are engaging with people to do work from Sydney, you really have to have a think about it at the moment, have a plan in place and make sure that those people are actually following the rules,” Assistant Commissioner McKechnie said. “Because I can tell you now, some are not and they’re bringing COVID into our towns.” Source: Nine News

Survey shows vaccine redirection is “foolish”, says Orange MP

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

COMMENT By JOHN RYAN WITH the Dubbo emergency so dire that troops are in the city’s streets, Orange MP Phil Donato says a survey he launched has highlighted poor decision making from the state government when it comes to handling the pandemic in Western NSW. He said the survey results indicate that frontline workers and vulnerable people from country NSW are exposed while waiting for the call to have their Covid-19 vaccinations rescheduled. “Following the foolish decision by the Premier and her Deputy to redirect Pfizer vaccines from regional NSW to the city, I received a flood of messages from country folk whose scheduled Covid-19 vaccination had been cancelled,” Mr Donato said. “Gladys Berejiklian and John Barilaro's decision to redirect Regional NSW's much-needed vaccines to Sydney for year 12 school students, knowing that many vulnerable people and frontline health workers were still waiting to be vaccinated – was entirely reckless. “It was foreseeable that re-

gional NSW was increasingly vulnerable to Delta, and given the insufficient health services across the west, the potential outcome was more dire. Given the Premier's poor and inconsistent management of Delta outbreak in Sydney, blind Freddy could

see that COVID-19 was going to find its way into the communities of Regional NSW.” Mr Donato said he launched the survey to get a more accurate snapshot of the dramas caused by the vaccination interruptions and said he received hundreds of mostly

troubling responses. “The survey shows nearly 80 per cent of respondents had their scheduled vaccination cancelled. “Of those who had had their scheduled vaccination cancelled, almost 30 per cent were classified either phase 1A or 1B priority groups. This is concerning, as these groups comprise frontline health workers, those who are health-compromised and the elderly, the people who are at most risk. “Astonishingly, almost 70 per cent of those whose scheduled vaccination was cancelled have yet to be contacted to reschedule their vaccination.” The Orange MP said those who have been lucky enough to have their vaccination rescheduled face a three- to nine-week wait. “The people of country NSW are sick to death of being treated like second-class citizens by the city-centric ruling class,” he said. “Country folk deserve better consideration for their health and protection, and I'm calling on the Premier to urgently reschedule those cancelled vaccinations. It’s just not good enough,” said Mr Donato.

CHIROPRACTIC

Helping patients on a pathway to health By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON did not have a chiropractor before Dr Nina Linnell came along, and she said it’s been a huge learning curve to build a new business in a small town. “I set up an entirely new practice and built a client base from scratch,” she explained. Moving to Australia from New Zealand in January, Dr Linnell took up a position at Dubbo’s Awakening Health, before starting her own practice two months later. Now she divides her time between the two workplaces, helping clients with their chiropractic needs. Everyday duties include assessing clients and planning their treatment pathway. “I take a subjective history to see how they are doing and what concerns they might have. “I assess their spine and adjust them where needed, usually giving them some homework stretches or other advice to help them get

the results they want as quickly as possible and setting out a plan going forward for them. “We also installed an X-ray machine in Dubbo which allows us to take our own images without the need for external referral, this makes it much more efficient and easier for the patients.” According to Dr Linnell, chiropractors can check almost everyone, from babies to the elderly. “There are many techniques we can use to check and adjust because everyone has different stressors which can affect the functioning of their spine and nervous system. “Because the nervous system controls everything, this can impact so many different aspects of their life from pain, energy, performance.” Dr Linnell said the trickiest aspect of her job is being able to work in a fast-paced environment. “Being able to quickly think and adapt on the spot to suit the individual on the table as everyone is completely unique,” she explained.

On her path to chiropractic, Dr Linnell also had a dentistry detour. “I always knew I wanted to work in health, I originally began my study to become a dentist but after a huge realisation I transferred over to chiropractic,” she said. This was followed by a Bachelor of Chiropractic which involved five years’ study. Since then, she has relished being able to help people with their chiropractic needs. “A lot of people don’t know a lot about what we do as chiropractors so are unsure about what we can do to help them. My job is to educate about how I can best help them by doing my job. “A lot of people are very grateful for someone to spend some time to understand what is underlying to their complaint and provide some change for them. “Being able to help someone without the need for drugs or surgery is hugely rewarding and I wanted a job where I can make a difference for someone else.”

No job too big or small for Macca By NATALIE LEWIS A DEGREE in agribusiness and growing up on a farm are the key attributes Max ‘Macca’ McKenzie brings to his role as a rural contract fencer. His days include welding, fencing, maintenance and general farm work. “I do a lot of rural contracts, mainly working for property owners in the farming community and in residential areas,” he explained. Macca grew up in Dunedoo and lives with his wife on 100 acres near Elong Elong. “I grew up in the area,” he said. “The business has been going for 18 months, before that I was managing a property.” Macca mainly works for farmers, along with doing contracts on public land and smaller jobs closer to town. “Farmers have more important

stuff to do than spend time fencing. I’ve also done a lot of work for Local Land Services and smaller jobs around Dubbo such as entrance fences.” He doesn’t do many repair jobs and says it’s more cost-effective to build a new fence. “By the time I cost repairs, they are better off with a brand new one,” he said. As an essential worker in the agriculture sector, Macca has been able to keep working during the pandemic. Sourcing his fencing materials locally in Dubbo, he said the cost of steel has risen in recent months, due to difficulties in obtaining supplies. “The price of steel has increased since the pandemic began and there’s a new price list every month. The cost of everything is rising.”

There are a lot of factors involved in building a good fence and Macca said fencing contractors also need skills in mechanical maintenance, operating a tractor, trailer, digger, air compressor and various other tools along with service and maintenance. He described it as a very labour-intensive job which requires a good fitness level and a fair amount of patience and resilience. “We try to make it less physical but it’s still fairly physical,” he said. “It’s not a game for someone who’s unfit.” Macca said there are many variables involved in fencing and no two jobs are the same. “In town, fence construction needs to be aesthetic. Out of town it just needs to contain stock. It’s easier when it is dry weather, wet country makes it more

complicated! “You’ve got to want to do it, every job is a new job. You’ve got to think about every fence line.” He said the job can involve a lot of travel, but he enjoys working with clients. “I love being my own boss and being outside nearly every day. At

this time of year, it’s really nice.

“You need business sense, and to be good with your clients. A lot of people get you back again.”

The more clients I get locally, the better. Unless there’s a reason not to, I get in and do it. Farmers generally want it done asap.”

EMERGENCY REPORT

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Defence force in force THERE’S been plenty written on the fact the Australian Defence Force has sent teams to Dubbo to assist police in compliance issues but also set up vaccination clinics for local residents, as well as taking mobile vax clinics to smaller western towns and isolated communities. So many people who are having food supplies delivered to their front doors have much to be thankful for. In the floods and fires there wasn’t much, if any, outcry that we had soldiers on our streets and there hasn’t been too much criticism at a local level about the roles these teams are playing, which is great. What I do know is that at the end of the next couple of weeks, whatever your standpoint on vaccinations, many thousands of people who have been desperately hanging out for a Pfizer jab will have had at least their first shot. Just on that point – I’m sick of very senior federal and state politicians such as the Prime Minister and Premier constantly moaning about people not coming forward to get a jab, when the fault lies with them because the vaccines simply haven’t been available in any sort of timely manner for so many of us. That’s on them and I’m getting sick of them blaming everyone but themselves for what has been, by any standard, a debacle. Thankfully so many other people, on far smaller weekly paychecks, have stepped up to help in so many ways to get us out of this mess.

been criticised, the defendants claiming everything was okay because there were only three positive Covid-19 individuals who had attended – they’re the cases they knew about. What the...? This level of ignorance when it comes to the vitriol they spew is beyond any acceptable limits. This lack of concern for the health of fellow humans should in fact be a crime against humanity. When we’re writing the history of this pandemic, these individuals won’t be treated kindly, and yet they’d be the first ones to complain they weren’t being looked after by our free health system if they’re admitted to an overcrowded hospital ward.

Energy is Essential at times like this WITH so many people staying at home during the Covid-19 crisis, the power grid is getting an almighty workout, affecting the entire NSW footprint of electricity distributor Essential Energy. Acting General Manager, Customer and Network Services for Essential Energy (there’s half a sentence just in the job title) Amalie Smith says the organisation, as an essential service, can confirm that all employees are authorised workers and are abiding by comprehensive Covid-19 protocols to ensure community safety. “To proactively manage our or-

Facebook not helping FACEBOOK is truly a double-edged sword for our Covid-19 generation – the social media platform can be used for the greater good but more often than not, unscrupulous, evil and just plain idiotic humans use it to create drama for others. So many people have sent me screenshots of spats about people travelling from lockdown areas such as Dubbo to other communities which didn’t at that stage have positive Covid-19 cases. The vile bile that spews from their keyboards when people question their actions doesn’t border on the obscene, it jumps right to the nuclear position on the dial. One group that staged a party were furious that their actions had

ganisational response, we will continue to follow the advice of federal and state government authorities. We are doing our utmost to ensure safe and reliable power supply to our customers in communities across NSW, especially when so many people are at home,” she said. “We employ a risk-based assessment on all work and specific Covid-19 operational protocols have been established to ensure community safety. “We want the community to know that where a stay-at-home order is in force, planned outages are reviewed individually to assess the risks for the community, employees, and contractors and electricity reliability. People can view our planned outages page by visiting essentialenergy.com.au/outages. We also send our customers a notification at least four days before a planned outage,” said Amalie. To maintain safe and reliable power supply Essential Energy says it needs to continue key maintenance and building activities, including inspecting the

network, underground pits and aboveground pillars, vegetation and street lighting work. “Essential Energy is a business enabler and if we do not risk assess and proceed with this work, then there is an increased risk to the number and duration of unplanned outages. It is critical that risks to supply are minimised, particularly to facilities involved in the response to Covid-19,” she said.

Trucking amenities reopened I’VE spoken to heaps of truckies in the past couple of weeks and, for the sector that pretty much keeps everything rolling along, they’ve been treated poorly. Not being able to stop to grab a meal at a roadhouse, being unable to shower or even use the toilet, that’s a fair slap in the face when it comes to physical and mental health, not to mention human dignity. As a society we do, for the most part, look down on truckies, and I’m not just saying that because I used to drive trucks, it’s because we take them for granted even though the job is often not great at the best of times. Large logistics corporations have gobbled up and stitched all the cream contracts from their corporate mates, leaving smaller companies and owner drivers to fight over the scraps, so it’s difficult to make a living even when there’s not a Covid lockdown that impacts on what few creature comforts drivers have to look forward to. Dubbo is a massive freight hub, with three highways intersecting the city (even though we don’t have a freight bypass) so it’s great news that NSW Police Commissioner Fuller has confirmed that truck stops and roadhouses will be reopened to support the trucking and freight industry conduct its business during this crisis. According to a police media release, the commissioner has advocated for a solution which strikes a balance between road safety, delivery of essential goods, as well as enforcement of the Public

Health Orders to limit the spread of the delta strain of Covid-19. Commissioner Fuller acknowledged NSW Health for working closely with police to ensure this common-sense approach will be reflected in the Public Health Orders to ensure the state’s transportation workers are able to conduct their work safely. “As the state is coping with lockdown measures to limit the spread of Covid-19, the delivery of essential goods is more important than ever,” Commissioner Fuller said. “Our essential transportation workers need to have access to truck stop facilities to ensure that they can revive and refresh to ensure that they can manage their fatigue as they perform these vital delivery and freight services. “Each day during this pandemic, we are encountering new and emerging issues and I thank NSW Health for working so swiftly with us to resolve this very important issue,” he said. From August 22 roadside trucking services such as dedicated service stations and roadhouses were allowed to open to ensure that trucking workers have the amenities they need to conduct their operations safely and efficiently. This includes dining, showers and toilet amenities. These services and facilities will not be open to the general public. Roadhouses will be required to develop Covid-safe plans to ensure that business operations can comply with Public Health Order restrictions to limit the spread of the virus. This will include: z QR check ins z Ensuring adequate spacing and cleaning, particularly in dining facilities z Hand hygiene facilities z Enforcing mask wearing requirements; and any other strategies to minimise the risk of the virus spreading. Dining areas will not be available to the public and will need to be partitioned off to ensure that the facility is clearly marked as only available for truck and transportation workers. For anyone’s general fund of knowledge, the definition of a truck and transportations worker in this instance is in accordance with the National Freight Movement Protocol and Code – a freight worker who drives a heavy vehicle over 4.5GVM, rail crew, or workers who support the supply chain of a heavy vehicle or train. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

BEING confined to quarters isn’t necessarily high on our list of happy things to do, but most of us are doing our bit to try to keep ourselves and our community safe. In the process, we’re looking for even the smallest of silver linings from the big black Covid cloud that’s hanging over our city, our state and our world right now. One of those positives is that many of us are discovering – or rediscovering – the simple pleasures life has to offer when we’re forced to slow down. Among those little treats is the humble joy of losing oneself in the pages of a good book. But don’t take our word for it. Numerous studies have shown that reading has the power to significantly improve mental, and as a consequence, physical wellbeing. Research tells us reading can reduce stress and anxiety, combat depression, encourage and improve sleep – and that’s before we

even consider the educative and enriching quality of reading for education and information’s sake. Books and reading can provoke conversation, give voice to other’s opinions, kick-start questioning, enhance empathy. A book can help you switch off, or encourage you to turn on. Books can inspire a gamut of emotions, stimulate all kinds of neurological processes, and figuratively transport the reader through time and space. Like music, books can even help ease the pain of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease sufferers, such is the mnemonic capacity and calming value of storytelling and the written word. There’s even a recognised field of psychology called bibliotherapy which, as the name suggests, uses books and other kinds of literature to help maintain and support a patient’s mental wellbeing. Clever things, books. These days, when most of us have access to virtually unlimited avenues of technological con-

nection, and therefore potential pathways to anxiety, surely one of the greatest antidotes to stress is to immerse oneself in the written word, particularly when that text takes the form of a good old-fashioned book, complete with actual pages. As any ardent book lover understands, there is precious little to compare with the undeniably comforting scent of a book when it’s first opened. None of these insights come as any surprise to the best-known bibliophile in the west, Dave Pankhurst, who for nearly 40 years has catered to the reading whims of generations of readers from his much-loved Dubbo book shop, The Book Connection. Despite the pandemic restrictions forcing the closure of his doors to the usual steady stream of browsers, he’s still to be found at the shop as he has been pretty much every working day for the past 38 years – ensuring his loyal customers can still get their book

fix, albeit in a Covid-safe fashion. People are still able to phone their orders through or order online, and their purchases are dutifully dispatched via the post, or by contactless pick-up at the door of the shop. Dave agrees that most folks still like the simple pleasure of holding a book in their hands. “People still like the physical action of opening and reading a book. People get a great deal of satisfaction from reading, particularly during this lockdown,” he says, pointing to the fact that where customers would usually buy one or two books, they’re now buying arms-full. “Given the fact that other options for entertainment are closed to everyone at the moment, reading is back to its original power – the power of the written word. “Back when we didn’t have electronics to entertain us, escaping into and enjoying a good book was one of the main forms of leisure.” Reading, Dave says, has been

Some of the material that comes out today may not be as sophisticated as we think those early works were, it can still have the same impact on us as it did back then – to be educated, or comforted or informed, or just simply entertained.” In a world where things seem to be changing at warp-speed, and where it feels like the only consistent thing in our lives is the morning Covid-briefings – which someone described recently as like sitting around the old Bakelite wireless listening to Blue Hills – isn’t it nice to know that, like our forebears of 600 years ago, we’re still enjoying the simple comfort of settling down with a good book?

sit down and read a book! Fast forward to now, though, and I’ve learned the importance of nurturing my mind and being pretty particular with what I feed it. If you were to look at my bookshelf, it is a real mash-up of home decorating books, novels and a whole lot of personal growth and development books. By my bed and on nearly every coffee table is a book with a folded corner. The question is never what book am I reading at the moment, but more what book do I need to read something from today? The last book I opened was Dare to Lead by Brene Brown. And to top it off, I’m also a huge fan of Audible and I’ll pop on an audio book when I’m in the car – what’s playing in the car at the moment?

Dubbo Photo News asked some of our community’s leaders to share their thoughts on their favourite books. Geoff McKechnie APM – NSW Police Assistant Commissioner WHEN it comes to books, I enjoy history and sporting biographies. I have not read a novel for years. I used to read Alistair McLean, Tom Clancy and the like, but I find it more difficult to read anything other than work-related material now. If I get started on a book, I don’t want to put it down and I can’t do that at present. I have only read one book twice and that was A Fortunate Life by A B Facey. I really like the way it is written and the story resonates with me. I hope to get back into reading more when I retire. I have always found that reading at night makes me tired so if I am struggling to sleep for some reason I will read something and it usually helps. It is inspiring to read about the experiences of others and the incredible lives that people have led including the challenges they have overcome to succeed in whatever their field. •••

Dugald Saunders – Member for Dubbo I LOVE reading but unfortunately, it’s a bit difficult at the moment and to be honest, in my current role, I don’t really get time to read as much as I’d like. If you do have the time to read though, I’d definitely encourage you to immerse yourself in a book and escape for a while from all the chaos that’s happening around us at the moment. You could even share a book (or e-book) recommendation with a friend or loved one as a nice way of connecting in these physically distant times. •••

Stephen Lawrence – Mayor of the Dubbo Region BEING asked to nominate a favourite book is an impossible task for me, so instead I’m going to nominate the two that immediately came to mind when I was asked. The First Century After Beatrice is a fiction novel by Amin Maalouf. It’s set in the near fu-

ture. A drug has been invented that allows parents to choose the sex of the yet to be conceived child. Across the globe, male children are preferred to a degree, and that has unforeseen and disastrous consequences. I first read this book in 2000, as part of a medical ethics course I did in Canberra, taught by Dr Thomas Faunce. Thomas was a brilliant lawyer and doctor who taught with the aid of great works of literature, an innovative and effective method. I looked him up recently for a work matter and saw that he had passed away long before his time. The second book that came to mind is Holding the Man – an autobiography and love story by Timothy Conigrave. I vividly remember first reading it in the mid 1990s. I was at a friend’s house and it was on his dad’s bookshelf. I picked it up one evening and finished it as the sun rose. It’s a book about love, growing up, family, friends, sickness and untimely death. It is a beautiful but sorrowful read that has been made into a movie worthy of the author’s words. The last book I read was The Truth Hurts, by Andrew Boe. It’s a memoir of his career so far in criminal law. Readers might remember Andrew as Ivan Milat’s lawyer. A series of cases and people (including Milat) are described and explained. In the process, much about the author himself is revealed. So too is the transformative effect of immersion in the human tragedy that is mediated in the criminal justice system. Sadly, I read this book some time ago – I say sadly because most of my reading these days is case briefs and council papers! •••

Jillian Kilby – CEO and Founder of The Exchange THREE of my favourite books are these: Designing Your Life, by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. The book is written by two Stanford University professors who have put thousands of students through a course to ensure they do not end up in unhappy, meaningless jobs. When I was finishing my study and deciding what to do next, I read this book. It reminded me how much I love heritage buildings and renovation – and it was the book I read when I decided I absolutely had to buy The Clock Tower in Dubbo. While it took almost two years to buy the property, the book helped me confidently pursue this idea I once

thought impossible. Bossy Pants, by Tina Fey This book is for those working mothers out there who want to laugh along as Tina tells her story, and for the rest of us who want a distraction from reality. I can guarantee you, this book will make you funnier...even in lockdown. Humour, Seriously by Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas Eight years ago, I was living in America with a roommate who was balancing a very serious corporate career and an after-work addiction to improv and standup comedy. Her goal in life was to find a way to merge the two, to practice levity and humour at work, not just after hours. This year, after years of researching humour at Stanford Business School, Naomi released her book about how you too can bring humour to the workplace and your life. I have read this book twice, and my team will tell you I am much funnier. Not because I am, but because we all tell our boss things that aren’t true to keep favour with them. •••

Sue Hood – Dubbo Show Society secretary SOME books that I have read and enjoyed come to mind: z True story: Finding Gobi by Dion Leonard. This is a story about a little dog and an incredible journey z Women of the Outback by Sue Williams – a collection of inspiring true stories of tragedy and triumph.

z The Inconvenient Child: An Abandoned Australian Child (by Lindsay Lewis and Sharyn Killens). While I don’t have my copy with me as I write this, I recall it is a true story, and I remember (Australian day-time television presenter) Mike Walsh doing a story on this lady, and I was moved by the adversity some children have to go through to survive. Then of course, I can’t not include a couple of books by our locals: z Donna Falconer’s My Time: Through Breast Cancer and Beyond – telling her story about her journey through breast cancer – I’m waiting for book number two! z A Little Slice of Heaven, by (Narromine Wiradjuri elders) Ruth and the late Dick Carney. Unfortunately, I don’t get to read a lot, but when I do I find I cannot put the book down. •••

My curiosity overwhelms me some days, and my love for learning comes mostly from listening, observing the world around us and of course diving into books. I love flicking through a Sophie Hansen cook book, like A Basket by the Door, but much of my reading revolves around filling my knowledge banks so I know better and therefore can do better for the LeaderLife kids we work with. Some incredible learnings have come from reading, and these books in particular have filled my cup: z Back on Track: How one man and his dogs are changing the lives of rural kids – this one is about my dear friend and great mentor Bernie Shakeshaft z Reclaiming Youth at Risk, Our Hope for the Future z How to Do the Work: Recognise your patterns, heal from your past and create yourself, by Dr Nicole Le Pera. I’m currently reading this and it’s an absolute cracker. Everyone needs this book, no matter where they are on their healing journey. z And how could I forget this book – The Secret Language of Your Body: the essential guide to health and wellness, by Inna Segal. Now, there aren’t many days I don’t pick up this guide! This book certainly makes me curious and want to know more.

Move it or lose it, now more than ever for overall health By JEN COWLEY WE all know physical activity is important – it’s a message we hear all the time. But why is it important for our mental wellbeing that we keep our bodies as fit and mobile as possible? Simple, says long-time local personal trainer Rod Fardell. “It’s a chemical reaction,” he says, explaining that once you start moving, there’s a good chemical in your body called an endorphin – often referred to as the “feel good hormone”– and these happy little wanderers are released when you exercise. “Sometimes we struggle a little bit to get moving, but when you do the endorphins kick in and that’s when you feel good,” says the always energetic fitness expert. “It’s an important part of our mental health.” Himself a walking advertisement for the benefits of regular exercise and movement, Rod stresses the truth that our bod-

ies were made to move. “Our muscular system, the way we’re designed, means we’re supposed to move. When we stop moving, it can affect us in so many ways – muscle deterioration, skeletal decline, we age very quickly and that can all have a massive impact on our mental state.” Consider this, then, in terms of being in lockdown under Covid-19 restrictions, when our mental health is already challenged – now is not the time to stop exercising, Rod says. “Be careful about death by Netflix and Tim Tams – they’re comforts we’re reaching for during lockdown, but over indulgence can be counterproductive in terms of emotional wellbeing.” Being in lockdown does NOT mean you can’t move. That exercising is one of the credible reasons you’re able to leave your home is testament to how important it is to remain active – a point Rod is keen to drive home

to those who are tempted to use the restrictions as an excuse to “veg out”. “Sitting in front of the telly isn’t what lockdown is all about.” One of the reasons our mental health is at risk is that we feel a loss of control over the direction of our lives – we’re forced to acknowledge that we are not in fact masters of our own destiny. But one area of your life that you CAN take control of is your movement, says Rod. “Don’t focus on what you can’t do – focus on what you can do. That makes a massive difference to your outlook. “Our minds can feed on negativity and it’s important to step away from that negativity where possible. “That’s not to say that you need to disengage from information and education, but sometimes that repetitive negative voice can be damaging. “Stay positive and get moving. Your body and your mind will thank you for it.”

Vitality group keeps a step ahead with lockdown ﬁtness WHEN Dubbo Photo News rings for a chat, grandmother of five Vickie Everingham is in the process of rearranging her lounge room furniture to make more “gym” space, but she’s happy to take time out to sing the praises of staying active during lockdown. Vickie is part of a fitness group called Vitality, a free twice-weekly exercise program for over-50s, run by local fitness trainer Rod Fardell. Initially attracted because there was no cost attached, Vickie was also drawn to join because it was aimed at a like-minded cohort. “I knew it was for people my age, which removed that fear of having to do really high impact stuff like lots of running or heavy weights. It’s great because it’s structured for people who either can’t get to a gym or who might feel a bit self-conscious because they’re not as physically fit as they used to be or they’ve had an injury or they’re a bit overweight and they don’t want to put themselves out there with the gym junkies!” Before anyone thinks it sounds like “a bludge”, Vickie is quick to

dismiss the notion that the Vitality group doesn’t work up a sweat. “Rod actually really works us hard and we definitely get a sweat up. It’s tailored to our ability, but he challenges us and we certainly leave knowing we’ve had a work out! “I absolutely love it,” she says. Covid-19 restrictions mean the Vitality group isn’t able to meet but Vickie says the skills and knowledge already imparted by the program have set the members up

well to continue exercising even under stay-at-home orders. “It’s given me the head start and the motivation to keep moving during lockdown, and the knowledge of how important it is,” says Vickie. “I’m so glad I’d been doing the sessions with Rod and the Vitality group because without that, I wouldn’t have been doing anything during lockdown. My daughter is a cross-fitter so I have all the gear available, but last lockdown,

Top tips for staying lockdown active z Plan your day – identify a wide range of things you can do. Work out where you can get your movement – going for a walk, working out in the garden, de-cluttering your cupboards – these are things that engage both your mind and your body. z The rules allow you to get out for exercise. Dubbo has some amazing locations for you to safely walk, run or ride by yourself or with one other person, or with your immediate household. z Engage with exercise in short

bursts. When you exercise at home, work out a short program of about 20 minutes to half an hour. z Be creative. Look online for resources workouts, yoga stretches and exercises you can do in your home without speciﬁc equipment. z If you’re starting out, go gently – don’t go overboard to start with. z Aim for a certain number of steps a day – use your phone or watch or ﬁt-bit but don’t tie it to the dog’s leg – that’s just cheating yourself! The basic measure for human movement is 10,000 steps a day.

I just watched her do it! “This time, I’m up and into it and I feel so much better.” Even though this is a stressful time for everyone, Vickie believes the exercise and the routine of exercise is helping her maintain a positive outlook, which she says in turn is building her resilience. “It’s definitely helping me get through this lockdown better – I said to my family the other day that I feel like I’m stronger in my mind because I’m stronger in my body.” Although Vickie acknowledges she has “all the bells and whistles” of gym equip-

ment at her disposal thanks to her daughter’s regime, she says the beauty of the Vitality group is that it’s taught her how little gear you really need when push comes to shove. “There are so many alternatives that are readily available,” she said. “Anyone can find a step, most of us have a band that we can use for resistance exercises. “We can find a brick to use as a weight, a couple of milk bottles you can lift up and down. “You can use your own weight to do wall push-ups or planks. The list is endless, you just need to be creative.” Fitness trainer Rod Fardell says our greatest ally in achieving longevity is to move our bodies, and that during lockdown, staying physically active is more important than ever for maintaining overall health: PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Council essential services continue WHILE many of Dubbo Regional Council’s facilities have closed, essential services continue with kerbside rubbish collection, water and sewer treatment, saleyard operations, customer experience and ranger services continuing during the current lockdown with Covid-safe practices and restrictions in place. DRC CEO Murray Wood said council staff members are working from home where possible, and frontline staff essential to operations are still working in a Covid-safe environment. “While our Customer Experience Centres are closed to the public, staff are still answering phone calls, and responding to requests lodged via DRC&Me. “Likewise with our Visitor Information Centres and other tourism facilities, which remain closed to visitors. “Staff at these facilities are still taking phone calls and assisting people who may have had bookings previously. “We’re here to help and continue offering vital services to the Dubbo community in a safe way during this time,” Mr Wood said.

WORLD Elephant Day celebrations at Taronga Western Plains (TWPZ) on August 12 may have been more subdued this year due to Dubbo’s lockdown, but it was still a time to chart the conservation efforts for one of nature’s most majestic creatures. Zookeeper Jackie Cantrell has been working with the elephants for five years and is drawn to their intelligence and complexity and the relationship humans can have with them. “Working with elephants is a lifetime apprenticeship, where you build skills not just in caring for elephants, but also through working with such a compassionate hardworking team too,” she said. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” Mrs Cantrell described World Elephant Day as a time to “really celebrate elephants and how important they are to our planet and the plight they face”. “Asian elephants are greatly endangered, there are fewer than 30,000 in the wild,” she explained, adding that habitat destruction was a greater threat to elephant survival than other factors such as poaching or hunting. “Human/elephant conflict and habitat loss – that’s what we aim to educate people about (and make them) more aware of the products they are buying based on the crops that are grown where elephants range.” Mrs Cantrell said products such as coffee, cocoa, cosmetics, timber and dishwashing liquid all potentially impacted on elephant habitats and looking for sustainably certified products would help

the cause. “By helping elephants, you are helping all animals that live in these habitats,” she said. With a herd of six at the local zoo, there is certainly a lot of promise for the future of the world’s largest living land mammals. “Our elephant herd is going well. Over the years, we have said goodbye to our older elephants but we’ve also gained two Dubbo calves.” TWPZ recently sent a bull to Melbourne to extend its zoo’s

breeding program and is set to receive a new female from Auckland, depending on Covid-19 restrictions. “The hope is that she will breed here with our breeding bull,” Mrs Cantrell explained. “All the zoos are supporting Asian elephants to have a more diverse breeding program.” Mrs Cantrell said conservation initiatives help to maintain animals such as elephants. “The zoo helps support conservation projects for wild animals to protect their populations.”

MEDICS ON THE MOVE DESPITE the ﬁnancial hardship caused by the current Covid-19 lockdowns, good news stories abound in Dubbo when it comes to small businesses promoting innovative change to stay relevant in these troubling times.

After working at TWPZ for 12 years with a range of different animals, including African and Australian species, Mrs Cantrell has relished being with the elephants and forming a long-term bond. “That relationship is constantly evolving, with loads of hard work and respect from both elephant and keeper going into the relationship. I’m very lucky to do a job I love with a team I love.” While the zoo was closed to the public, the elephants received a special enrichment feed from keepers to mark the day.

Nanima community stays safe By NATALIE LEWIS

Covid testing at Wellington Health Service. PHOTO: DPN/COLIN ROUSE

WELLINGTON Local Aboriginal Land Council CEO Tara Stanley has thanked all those involved in organising door to door Covid-19 testing for Nanima residents last Friday. “Our hats go off to all the medical staff and volunteers that are doing this day in, day out, putting their lives at risk for our community!” she said. “A big thank you to Western NSW Health, NSW Police and our local ACLO Tee (Telira Milson), Aboriginal Affairs and WACHS for making this all happen. Stay safe you mob.” There will be on-site Covid-19 vaccinations for Nanima locals in coming weeks coinciding with the Wellington vaccination clinic which is a collaboration between

WACHS, Wellington Health Service and Swift Street Medical Centre. The clinic is in the WACHS carpark between 10am and 4pm each day and you do not have to be a patient of WACHS or Swift

Street services to attend. However, appointments are necessary by phoning 6845 5423. No walk-in service is available. There has been an overwhelming response to the clinics so far, so patience is advised.

Street tree plan to spruce up town By NATALIE LEWIS WITH spring in the air, Dubbo Regional Council’s Wellington Street Tree Master Plan is taking shape with a number of plantings already underway. Council’s Manager Recreation and Open Space Ian McAlister said a full audit of street and park trees had been completed across Wellington covering all urban areas. “The town has been divided into a number of zones, and any dominant tree species in any given street is appropriate and the preferred species. It will also assist in developing a priority planting plan for Wellington,” he explained. “Dubbo Regional Council has also developed a successional planting strategy for Cameron Park that is already being implemented with the planting of an avenue of tulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera) along the western path, planting of quercus robur (fastigata) along Barton Avenue and the replacement of a missing palm tree along the Nanima Crescent frontage.” Tulip trees are native to North America and grow to a height of 20m

with striking yellowish-green flowers. The quercus robur (fastigata) is a columnar form of an English Oak and native to that country. It grows to a height of 20m and produces acorns. The Wellington Street Tree Master Plan started with an audit of the town’s trees in 2019. It will provide strategic direction on plant species, priorities and practices that will be employed moving forward. “The goal of this master plan is to improve the aesthetics of the streetscapes of Wellington, improve planting consistency to help reduce recurrent maintenance costs, improve the canopy cover of the township and to help buffer Wellington from warming climatic trends,” Mr McAlister said. The Wellington Town Centre Plan also outlines CBD and town entry statements using a coordinated tree planting approach as a short-term priority. It is suggested that trees identify the entry to Wellington at both southern and northern aspects of the Mitchell Highway subject to the approval of Roads and Maritime Services. The suggested species was Acer × freemanii Armstrong Maple “as they have an upright growing nature re-

quired in circumstances where there is limited space”. They are not native to Australia but have beautiful red foliage in autumn and can reach a height of 15-18m. A secondary avenue is planned on the western approach to the CBD, along Showground Road. The tree species chosen is acacia pendula, or silver wattle, and has been selected for its drought hardiness, attractive silver-grey foliage and consideration of aerial conductors in the immediate vicinity. This species is endemic to the area. The plan for the main and secondary streets is to revitalise street planting, provide shaded street-side parking and create pleasant and inviting pedestrian walkways. Proposed street trees and understory planting in the median strip will improve the street view. Mr McAlister said the draft Wellington Street Tree Master Plan is reasonably well advanced, however, it has been delayed as a result of travel restrictions. “The consultant assisting with this document resides in Victoria and The Wellington Town Centre Plan proposes that trees identify the hasn’t been able to travel to Welling- entry to Wellington at both southern and northern aspects of the ton to finalise the draft.” Mitchell Highway.

Book Week...but not as you know it

By JOHN RYAN

TALK about a week of books out of the box! Staff at Wellington’s St Mary’s school prepared for Book Week by reading in their favourite places and there were some pretty unusual spots in which those books were being read. To top it off, the school’s Year 10

Mrs Edwards decided the only place to be was chilling out in the stock trough

Mr Jones caught up with his reading while enjoying the great indoors inside his teepee-style tent.

students recorded a reading via Zoom of the Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler for all the younger students to enjoy. It was a great effort at finding new and interesting ways to do things during this strange time of social distancing, a situation almost everyone alive had only previously read about...in books!

Mrs Clarke is happy to be at school. For many teachers, lockdown doesn’t start or end with what their students see on the screen during a Zoom conference, there’s plenty of background preparation to be done

Mrs Whiteley has the great gift of being able to multitask – here she’s able to do her Book Week preparation in the midst of a stock truck operation

Mr Thompson likes nothing better than a bit of semi-quiet quality time reading to his young son

Mrs Eagleston gets a few pointers from her cat

Mrs Quirk enjoys nothing more than reading to her gorgeous granddaughter – talk about being able to combine business with the greatest of pleasures

Dam fine site: Burrendong’s fortunes ebb and flow By JEN COWLEY IF you were fortunate enough to have recently visited Lake Burrendong – the dam – before Covid-19 snuck into town and locked us down, you’d have noticed the remarkable turnaround in the popular waterway’s fortunes in the past two years. Recent rain across the catchment has bolstered the dam’s capacity to more than 86 per cent, the highest it has been in many years. Burrendong, which in the Wiradjuri language means koala, has a storage capacity of 1,678,000 megalitres. That’s the equivalent of three Sydney Harbours along with having a surface area the size of 10,000 footy PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY fields. In January 2020, when a long-gone small township that the worst drought in living memory was at its most desperate, was swallowed by the waters of the dam’s level dropped to 1.6 per the mighty dam, the concept for cent, just a drop above the previ- which was first mooted in 1909.

The Mil- quarie Advocate of October 9 that lennium Drought also brought ex- year carried the news of the proposed undertaking as being of tremely dry times to the area. The dam is no stranger to ups ‘considerable magnitude’. It reported that: and downs.

Photos from the depths of the boundary of the Timbrebongdrought show Burrendong’s old ie Shire. bones poking through, relics of The dam at Burrendong will

be a work of considerable magnitude, a depth of 150ft. of water at the dam head being contemplated damming the river back for several miles, so that about ten thousand million cubic feet of water will be held up.” It wouldn’t be until nearly 40 years later that legislation allowing the construction of the dam was finally passed, and the first sods were turned in 1950, sealing the fate of the little gold-mining town of Burrendong. The small nearby settlement of Mumbil grew as it accommodated workers who were building the dam, which was finally completed and began to fill with water in April 1965. Two years later, then NSW Premier Sir Robert Askin did the official honours and cut the ribbon in August 1967. Burrendong Dam was born. These days, and as was its in-

tended purpose, the dam supplies vital water for the agricultural sector and environmental flows as well as supporting stock and household water needs throughout the Macquarie Valley. Cotton is one of the main beneficiaries of irrigation allowances from the dam, with other crops also grown with the help of Burrendong’s water, which is also the source of environmental flows to the Macquarie Marshes. Going ‘down the dam’ is a summer-time and holiday rite of passage for those growing up in the region, and for the watersports and fishing enthusiasts who normally flock to Burrendong in their hundreds, if not thousands when any one of the myriad sporting events and competitions are held on and beside its waters. Sadly, the past couple of years have been anything but normal. The drought put the kibosh on most activities at Burrendong as it tightened its grip towards the end of last decade. When it did eventually rain enough for the dam to rise to levels acceptable for public use, along came a global pandemic, and the hopes of those who had been looking forward to finally being able to get back to Burrendong for the 2020 season were again dashed. The dam had been expecting a bumper tourist season, only to be clobbered by Covid-19 which saw the park closed to visitors. Sadly, even though the water levels are again inching towards capacity and she’s looking a picture, it now looks like the much anticipated 2021 season is off to an equally rocky start.

So the more residents across the dam-loving region abide by the stay at home orders, the sooner we’ll all be able to be back on the banks of Burrendong. In the meantime, enjoy the photos of the dam back above 85 per cent, and start polishing those water-skis and untangling those fishing lines for when we’re again able to enjoy a weekend ‘down the dam’.

Burrendong: A dam is born

THE following excerpt is from the February 8, 1950 edition of a publication called Construction, an industry magazine aimed at the engineering, architectural and building sectors, and gives a glimpse of the magnitude of the undertaking of building Burrendong: “Work has commenced on the construction of Burrendong Dam on the Macquarie River following the passing of the authorising legislation in 1946. The Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission is the constructing authority. “Proposals for conservation works on the Macquarie have been under consideration for more than half a century. The new plans for Burrendong Dam may be regarded as a pattern for similar works that will someday be undertaken in Western NSW. “The height of Burrendong dam will be 183 feet and the west length 3,500 feet. The estimated volume of filling is 4,500,000 cubic yards. The impounded water surface area will be 14,000 acres. The estimated cost will be about £4,000,000. The dam site is about 19 miles above Wellington where the river runs through hilly country before emerging on to the plains at Wellington. “The latter lies at the foot of Mount Arthur, an outstanding peak, both names commemorating the receipt of news of the Battle of Waterloo. The site is below the junction of the Cudgegong River and is approached from the township of Mumbil.In the Western Line above Burrendong Dam lies a catchment area of 5400 square miles. The average annual rainfall is about 25 inches and the area is subject to occasional prolonged droughts. “The conserved water will be utilised largely in the grazing lands below Narromine to provide an assured water supply. The dam will also help to regulate floods in the Macquarie Marshes through which the dispersed river water reaches the Darling.” Seven lives were lost during the dam’s construction:  Scotty Caslick – fell from the bell tower  Ted Carter – crushed by the scraper  Tony Cunneen – crane jib collapsed  Name unknown – concrete finisher fell from a platform in the diversion tunnel  Three names unknown – burned to death in the diversion tunnel after a bitumen explosion

THE ARTS

An art fair to remember By NATALIE LEWIS

DUBBO Art Fair has the potential to become the biggest event of its kind in regional NSW, according to Jessica Moore, Cultural Development Coordinator of the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC) where the event was held for the first time on August 6-8. “It has the potential to be the biggest art fair in regional NSW,” Miss Moore said. “We were really quite overwhelmed by how successful it’s been and the ripple opportunity it’s provided for people.” With 35 exhibitors selling upwards of 150 artworks over three days and an attendance of 1700, it was clear that residents had previously been starved of culture. “All of the artists sold something, some sold out, a third got commissions for future works as well. We are really overwhelmed by the ripple effect in terms of solidifying the arts sector.” Miss Moore said there was traditional, contemporary, printmaking, indigenous art and photography on display from the local region. “There was something for everyone, it was great to see. Most artists were from the Dubbo region, some were from Narromine and Gilgandra. Lockdown prevented others coming from Orange or further afield.”

Raising the dreaded C-word, Miss Moore said Covid-19 has taught the community about valuing the arts. “(People in the fields of) art, music and theatre have lost so much work and so many opportunities. It has also shown people locally the importance of buying original works. I think the good lesson out of Covid-19 is how much we take the creative sector for granted – music, art shows, theatre, dance – anything creative has been taken away from us. “The overwhelming response we had from the community is that people value it and they wanted to show they value it. They want to buy tickets and they want to go to events and they want the money to go directly to the artist. They absolutely value the contribution creative people are making. That was a big lesson for people to see. “They all saw how amazing (the contribution) is.” Miss Moore said the inaugural showcase had potential to grow more in the future and expand the regional art scene. “I would like to see it grow

for art in the regional sectors. We have such a big sector, we shouldn’t have to take everything to Sydney, considering the success and the fact that there were 35 exhibitors with more who were on the waiting list. I can see potential.” As it was a Covid-safe event held just days before Dubbo was thrown into lockdown, Miss Moore said it showed the depth of talent in the Local Government Area. “There was a great number of people through and they hung around for a few hours and talked to artists about their work. The artists were so motivated, enthused, inspired, people were humbled and touched. “It shows people who think that unless you are going to the cultural centre or theatre, you might think creativity is not happening. It was such a clear message that people are working in this space. “It’s nice that it was one of the last events, it was positive and inspired and left us on a high.” Miss Moore said the Dubbo Art Fair will definitely be back again. “It’s motivated us to do more and find more opportunities. We have a space locked in for a similar time next year. If restrictions continue, we would aim to have an online marketplace. We want to keep that positive energy going.”

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Locked down Daffodil Day The Editor, Every August, communities around Australia love coming together to spread hope and support the Daffodil Day Appeal. Now in its 35th year, the Daffodil Day Appeal is Cancer Council’s most iconic fundraising campaign. This year’s Daffodil Day falls on Friday, August 27. For many of us in NSW, Daffodil Day means purchasing a beautiful bunch of fresh daffodils from a Cancer Council flagship stall to help fund world-class cancer research and show our support for people affected by cancer. However, the current

COVID-19 outbreak in NSW means that we can’t be out in the community this year. Our flagship stalls are one of the most important ways that the community chooses to support Daffodil Day, both through donations and by purchasing fresh daffodils. We’re counting on you to show your flower power and help save Daffodil Day. Here are three ways you can make a difference: 1. Make an online donation at www.daffodilday. com.au/donate 2. Become a Yellow Fundraiser. You can take on a challenge, get active in yellow, give up something you

Greg Smart ❚ OPINION “WE were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan – we didn’t know what we were doing...” “What are we trying to do here? We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.” So said Douglas Lute, a threestar Army General who served as the White House’s Afghan war czar during the Bush and Obama administrations, to government interviewers in 2015. What I hope you are about to read should in no way be taken as personal disrespect or animosity towards serving or ex-military personnel. But the question posed by General Lute – “what are we trying to do here” – must be discussed openly. Afghanistan has been the site of foreign invasions and meddling, civil wars and totalitarian rule for over four decades. Moscow installed a pro-Soviet leader in 1980, and immediately faced opposition from mujahadeen Muslim holy warriors covertly backed and armed by the USA and Saudi Arabia. The bulk the 1980s saw America continuing to arm mujahadeen fighters, and eventually the Geneva Peace Accord signed by the Soviet Union, USA, Pakistan and what substituted for an Afghanistan Government led to the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1988/89. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 triggered the immediate collapse of the Soviet-backed Afghan Government. The Mujahadeen splintered into rival groups, with the capital Kabul reduced to rubble, and tens of thousands were added to the million-plus civilian death toll of the preceding decade. The Taliban emerged from this wreckage, promising to restore their version of order and security by wrapping a veil of extremist Islam over the country – subjugating women, public beatings and executions – completing that takeover by 1997/98. Only three countries officially recognised the Taliban regime: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This is where Osama bin Laden comes in. Bin Laden cosied up to Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, and used Afghanistan as a base for al-Qaida terrorist activities.

and American’s intention to cut and run – the federal government should have planned Australian evacuations in advance of the current crisis. The weasel words coming out of Canberra at the moment make clear the Government was caught napping, hoping for the best rather than planning for the worst. Of course, we have a moral obligation to protect Afghans who aided our ill-fated invasion and failed nation-building. We also have a moral obligation to help the serving and ex-military personnel and their families who bear the scars of their involvement. Operational trauma is a major factor in a suicide rate that is magnitudes higher than the general public. To deny support is to devalue the contribution of individual personnel. It remains to be seen whether the $500 million expansion of the Australian War Memorial will acknowledge the capitulation of Western forces. It is a fine line between glorification and truth telling, and acknowledgement is part of the process. Where to now for Afghanistan? The Taliban is claiming they have changed, and will allow the education of girls and women to work ‘within the bounds of Islamic Principles,’ but behind the scenes schools are being closed and girls are being ‘gifted’ to Taliban loyalists. Women are being sent home from work and university students denied entry. We rightly condemn this barbarism, but conveniently forget the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the USA’s partner in peace in the Middle East. And the sale of Australian-made military weapons to both Saudi Arabia (for use in bombing Yemen) and the United Arab Emirates. Both of whom recognised the first iteration of the Taliban. The corporate military machine rolls on. As do the ideological poll driven whims of the political class. “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” – US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961 z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

THE THUMBS

& Thumbs Up to Courtney Triplet (August 5 edition) and her positive feedback on good mental health, a courageous lass. There is no stigma with mental health, only misunderstanding.

Thumbs Up to Dugald Saunders, Scott McLachlan and Geoff McKechnie for their informative press conference updates.

end, helping people get tested for Covid. I certainly wasn’t expecting to see our city’s mayor handing out paperwork and patiently explaining how to ﬁll it out.

Thumbs Down to the people who organised a loud children’s party last week. Not following Covid rules is the reason NSW and Dubbo are in this mess.

Thumbs Up to the young female and male constable for their courtesy in the way they explained the Covid restrictions on Wednesday, August 18.

Thumbs Up to all people doing the right thing such as getting vaccinations and staying home. And a huge thank you to all essential workers keeping us safe and sound.

Thumbs Down to the supermarket that didn’t have anyone supervising the entry into the store on Saturday – some people were just walking in without checking in.

Thumbs Down to the people who entered my yard last night (August 18) and cut the wires on my trailer. It was around 10pm.

Thumbs Up to the armed services coming to Dubbo and helping the federal and state governments to catch up after letting us down so badly in our vaccination roll-out – it’s now become a race.

Thumbs Up to Terry White Chemist in Delroy for ﬁlling prescriptions then delivering them to residents at Kintyre Living. They are keeping us safe, their service is very much appreciated.

Thumbs Down to getting pushed into the slow lane at the Dubbo Showgrounds Covid testing, when the left lane lets you sign in on your phone and get your results back much quicker. I’ve got a small business and lost so much work because I didn’t get my results back for days.

Thumbs Up to Dr Sam, the receptionist Kelly and nurse Tash at Dubbo Skin Clinic in Wingewarra Street. I’ve never been to a place where I got such loving and caring treatment. They went above and beyond to help me, such amazing service!

Thumbs Up to the Dubbo Photo News ‘family’. A big thank you for making the effort to deliver Dubbo Photo News to the people of Narromine, it was greatly appreciated.

Thumbs Down to anyone in the state government who’s talking about holding the HSC exams whatever happens, even if the students have to sit outside. How would that have gone with the Dubbo weather this week? It’s all about keeping power concentrated in government departments. The HSC is looking less and less relevant to the real world as time goes by.

it’s a great pleasure to get our weekly ﬁx of happiness from you.

Thumbs Down to the length of time to get Covid results back. I’ve waited ﬁve days so far and I’m not alone with this. No wonder testing numbers are down!

- it’s damaging a great open-air facility that many people enjoy using. Replacing your divots is a standard rule at any golf club, so please follow the same rule when using a public oval.

Thumbs Up from the team at Dubbo Photo News. With many people unable to get to the shops this week, so many of you are picking up copies of our community newspaper and delivering it to your neighbours – that’s what community is all about.

Thumbs Down to the lowlife who riﬂed through our car parked in our driveway in South Dubbo. Taking half the contents of our glove box, CDs and a supply of Mentos was pointless, no money is ever in our car. Thumbs Down to all the people doing the wrong thing at the moment. The person who drove a carload of people from Dubbo to Wellington for no good reason is an example, and they’re far from being the only one. With too many people not following the rules that apply to us all, it’s no wonder we now have cases in Wellington.

Thumbs Up to Dubbo mayor Stephen Lawrence for working at the Showgrounds as a volunteer last week-

And while the kids who attend the centre on a regular basis are no doubt missing their mates, it seems the staff are suffering their own withdrawal symptoms from their little playmates.

Thumbs Up to the man who helped me with my dog on Jannali Rd on Saturday afternoon after she was run over. I’m grateful that you went to get help for us, and from the bottom of my heart, I truly hope you are okay. I’m sorry I never got your name, and never got to thank you on the day. She’s at peace now.

WORDS SPEAK LOUDLY

THIS sign says it all. The Community Kids Early Education Centre in Dubbo is normally a vibrant hub of noisy kids but now, with Covid-19 lockdown restrictions in place, it’s anything but.

Thumbs Down to a bored-looking staff member at a major store who didn’t seem to realise how important the job of helping people sign in is at the moment. It’s hard enough going shopping at the moment without being confronted with rude staff – if you don’t want to be there, give the job to someone who does.

Symbol of hope marks Grief Awareness Month IN recent times, our nation’s floral emblem, the golden wattle, has become a symbol of remembrance and reflection. So it is fitting that NALAG (National Association for Loss and Grief) which has its headquarters in Dubbo, has also adopted the beautiful yellow bloom to mark Grief Awareness Month each August. NALAG offers this explanation of the significance of wattle, and invites people to wear a sprig in memory of a lost loved one: “Just as more than a thousand types of wattle bloom around Australia, so too do countless individuals

experience grief across our vast nation. “Just as somewhere, somehow, children, women and men are struggling with the impact of loss in their lives every day of the year, so too, wattle trees brace themselves against the elements that often threaten to destroy them when natural forces demonstrate their strength. “Just as people from all walks of life move through their passages of pain into new and different ways of being, so too does the wattle regenerate again and again, and grow to blossom and offer a sign of new life to all who view it.”

We were supposed to be visiting Dubbo for my niece’s ﬁrst holy communion and my sister’s birthday as a surprise. Happy Birthday Em/Aunty Mem. We love and miss so, so much. We hope you have an amazing day and can’t wait till we can hug you. Love Nat, Wal, Georgie and Boo xoxo Contributed by Natalie Grant

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.

SPORT Tim Mannion: CSU Emu now caring for our Paralympic athletes Send your Sport news to Contact our Sports photographer geoff.mann@dubbophotonews.com.au mel.pocknall@dubbophotonews.com.au

By GEOFF MANN

A YOUNG rugby union centre who won premierships with CSU and Orange Emus is now living the dream, working at his sixth Paralympic Games. This time he is the Deputy Chef De Mission for the Australians in Tokyo. It was hard to hide Tim’s enthusiasm when I caught up with him in the Olympic Village just as the athletes arrived. He said there is a joke amongst the Paralympic community that now the warm-us are over – The Olympics – the real Games begin! “We are in a perfect seat. Moving into the village after our incredible Olympians have paved the way,” he said. “The Australians performed beautifully didn’t they. They performed well not only in competition but I think Australians really

loved the way our Olympic team presented; they just fell in love with the athletes and the way they went about their business so that’s exactly what the Paralympic team is striving for as well.” Tim says the Paralympics is an opportunity to showcase the incredible breadth of talent and range of sports and skills. “There’s a huge audience at home who are just keen for some sport. The majority of the country is in lockdown and everyone is looking for some great stories and great sports.” He laughed about the first few days in Tokyo revealing they “were far from glamorous”. “We spent our time unloading pallets and pallets of freight – three and a half thousand boxes – and we did it in driving rain! Very chal-

lenging but once the team arrived it was just so exciting and makes it all worthwhile. The buzz really does ramp up, especially for athletes like Jami Leeson and her mum Amanda who are experiencing it for the first time.” Tim will spend untold hours liaising with coaches, athletes, and Games officials to ensure that Jami and Bathurst cyclist David Coleman and their teammates have everything they need to reach their peak. The Games began on Tuesday and will be beamed live and on repeat on Channel 7 until they wrap up next weekend. Carcoar’s Kurt Fearnley will also be providing three daily segments on ABC Western Plains and ABC Central West throughout the duration.

 When you look at your gold medals you look back at all the hard times and the lessons you’ve learned to get there. There’s plenty more hard times than there’s victories. I was a teammate of Kurt Fearnley at a number of Games and he described the way you reach your potential is working through the days when you can barely crawl out of bed and get going. Those are the moments, the days that define you as a person.  – Ben Austin (Wellington), multi Gold Medal Paralympic, Commonwealth and World Champion swimmer

 You know everyone in Australia and across the world is about to hear about and see some incredibly inspiring stories. We’re going to get a real eyeopener into sports we are not so familiar with and hopefully it gets a lot of awareness and they build a following. It should certainly be a motivating factor for others who may want to have a crack.  – Candice Boggs, Executive Officer, Western Region Academy of Sports (WRAS).

Danny Barber was awarded the Senior Cyclist of the year, recognising his considerable achievements including three gold medals at the Track National Titles last December.

Ben joined the club at the end of last year taking advantage of the formidable Dubbo coaching brains trust of Gus Dawson and Vaughn Eather, and went on to win all four events at the NSW State Track Championships in March. The Cliff Hazell memorial Trophy for the most ‘gutsy’ rider went to Kurt Eather. Club Person of the Year went to Jason Farr, recognising his dedication to the Club, helping out with both the junior and senior training, managing the Summer Crit Series, keeping the Facility in top shape and always on hand to fix a bike. Special mention to Erica Lunney, who took out the Masters Overall Trophy, thoroughly deserved, travelling every week from Mudgee with her family.

Wellington swimmer and “his destiny” By GEOFF MANN

BEN Austin grew up in Wellington playing footy, riding bikes and swimming in the river and at the pool. He was very determined but by his own admission, not as committed as he should have been. In fact, his best times were with his mates in the Wellington Cowboys juniors. When his team bowed out of the semi-finals in the Under 18s, he was faced with a decision – to “reach up and reach out” or continue just having fun and never seeing what was possible. Mick and Jane Austin saw the talent in their son and told him they would support him if he wanted to get serious. “The catch is you need to train full time and take it seriously and really give it a good shot so they put me in a competition in New Zealand called the Stoke-Mandeville Games – they used to be called the World Wheelchair Games – and unbeknownst to me the Australian swimming team was competing,” Ben recalls. “I’ve turned up and with only a month of training under my belt broke a national record in the 50 metres freestyle. The coach called me over and told me I was in the shadow squad for the upcoming trials in Sydney!” Ben swam with the Olympic

team in trials for the 2000 Games and shortly after the able-bodied and Paralympic authorities merged so that he was able to compete in the actual Commonwealth Games two years later. At that meet in Manchester in 2002 he found himself swimming alongside all-time greats like Ian Thorpe,Grant Hackett, Geoff Huegell, Jodie Henry, Petria Thomas, Leisel Jones as well

as Bourke and Dubbo backstroker Dyana Calub. Three Paralympic Games (Sydney, Atlanta and Beijing) eventuated resulting in a haul of three Gold medals, “a few silver” and a bronze as well as Commonwealth and World records in his category. At the Commonwealth Games in Manchester (2002) Ben won four Gold Medals and four years later in Melbourne added a silver and

a bronze. Ben is regarded as a pioneer of Australian swimming, achieving this mantle through his inspiring achievements and a profile that lifted interest to an all-time high. The one-armed champion from Wellington demonstrated that swimmers with physical disabilities can obtain it through the Paralympic swimming movement in Australia.

Ben became the first Paralympic Telstra Dolphins Ambassador and also the first Paralympic ambassador for Austswim and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in recognition of his inspiring achievements. Ben says he still has tingles down his spine from when he walked into the stadium alongside the inspirational Kurt Fearnley and Louise Savage for the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony. “I was pinching myself. Everywhere I looked there were champions who were putting it on the line for our country. We were all in green and gold and competing for Australia.” Ben says all good things had to come to an end. “The feeling I miss the most is competing in foreign countries, the preparation with the team here in Australia and then at camps on our way to events when we would get to acclimatise to conditions like we did in Singapore on our way to the Centenary Games in Athens.” He is almost envious of the current group who entered the Tokyo Stadium earlier in the week. “The buzz when other athletes arrive in the village, the huge variety of countries and you see your opposition – that’s when it gets really exciting’!

Spirits are still strong as hope dwindles

By GEOFF MANN

OPTIMISM is the mood amongst regional sports people at present regarding an end to the lockdown despite the fact any timeline remains uncertain. All competitions at local level have been put on hold or a hold has been flagged, particularly in junior sports like netball and mini football. Major finals in the Central West and Western Plains Rugby have already been pushed back or in the case of Blowes Cup, reorganised to fit the timetable.

Group 11, Group 10, Castlereagh League and the Woodbridge Cup have developed contingency plans but will be guided by Health NSW advice. There has been commitment from clubs to endeavour to bring the much-welcomed contests to a conclusion but there is an acceptance of the reality for our western communities. The Western Premier League is trying to set up a couple of super-weekends if the bans are lifted so that Dubbo teams Orana Spurs and Dubbo City Bulls and Orange’s Barnestoneworth and Waratahs can get back on the park.

AFL Central West Competitions and Development Manager Casey White summed up the feelings of all codes. “We’re trying to create as much certainty as possible for our clubs and our participants but at the end of the day we’ll be guided by Health NSW advice and the Public Health Order. We are in constant contact with all our clubs and any decisions will be made in consultation.” Casey was full of praise for AFL NSW and other sporting bodies who have been providing coaches and participants with plenty of

creative ideas for maintaining fitness and keeping skills honed. “They have some innovative ideas to keep everyone motivated.” He says it has been especially frustrating for those who founded the Central West competition 40 years ago. “This is not the way we envisaged our milestone year would pan out. We have increased our numbers across all junior ages in recent years and with both genders entering teams the future is bright. It has certainly been an eye-opener for the foundation ‘fathers’ to see so many girls and

women involved. It is a reflection of developing pathways right across the AFL.” Casey is philosophical. ‘It’s not ideal but at the end of the day, we’re not going to put the health of our players and families at risk so if we don’t celebrate the 40th anniversary this year we will make it a kick-off to our 41st season in 2022! “While we're supporting the government’s handling of the program we have Plan to Play strategies in train so that when the Covid fog does lift we will be ready to go.”

Paralympic “biff and bash” exponent in awe of Jami Leeson By GEOFF MANN

CHRIS Bond is a three-time Olympian in Wheelchair Rugby, the sport they call “murder ball”. He’s a tough man who was an athlete in many sports before illness took the use of his limbs. He turned to paralympic sports and fell in love with rugby. Chris’s sport is not for the faint-hearted. It is full of collisions and players are often seen picking themselves and their chairs up from the floor but in spite of that he has a real soft spot for Jami Leeson and her teammates who compete in boccia. Chris says it’s a very different

level of Paralympic competition. “You know boccia is a great sport. It’s a very skilled sport and I guess it allows the public to see what people with a very high level of disability can do apart from when they usually see what they can’t do or what they perceive they are limited to. “These players are very talented in their own rights. I’ve seen them on the training court and in warmdowns when we’ve been getting ready for our bash and barge. We’ve had able-bodied athletes try and get in there and compete with them and they’ve got no hope so I have all the respect in the world for Jami and her two teammates.”
