AL’S ALZHEIMER’S LEGACY By JEN COWLEY Each year, Alzheimer’s Disease afflicts more than 400,000 Australians, along with many hundreds of thousands of loved ones. Lorraine Holland is among them. Last month, her husband of 34 years, Alexander “Al” Holland, died at the relatively tender age of 66 from the disease that had ravaged ﬁrst his mind, then his body, for more than a decade. That long goodbye didn’t diminish the pain of his eventual loss for Lorraine, she just had more time to process the coming grief. She knows she isn’t the ﬁrst to suffer the torture of watching Alzheimer’s take away a loved one piece by piece, and neither will she be the last. But she’s determined that the legacy of the man with whom she shared more than half her life will be to shine more light onto the disease that pushes so many of its sufferers into the shadows.

YOUNG LIVES ON THE FRONTLINE By JOHN RYAN BEN ASHCROFT is super proud of his staff. The owner of South Dubbo’s IGA supermarket says it’s been incredibly difficult to keep operating since the Covid-19 outbreak in Dubbo spiralled out of control, but he believes

the resilience and loyalty of his staff has enabled the business to continue operating. “Close contacts are the hardest thing at the moment,” Mr Ashcroft told Dubbo Photo News. “NSW Health has a job to stop the spread, unfortunately to do that they would (have to) isolate everyone, and

in a vital service without a huge pool of staff, that’s just impossible – 76 per cent of our staff were in isolation for two weeks at the peak of (the outbreak) for us on August 11. “It was the toughest two weeks of retail in my life.” Continued page 4

Bylong community cans coal mine

Who do you call? Problem solvers!

IN what is being hailed as a win for people power, a ruling against allowing a coal project in the Bylong Valley has been upheld this week. The NSW Court of Appeal upheld the 2019 decision by the Independent Planning Commission to refuse the Bylong Coal Project, effectively scuttling the 6.5 million-tonnes-per-year greenfield coal mine because of what it called “problematical” greenhouse gas emissions from the project. Renowned for its scenic beauty and fertile agricultural land, the picturesque central west valley near Mudgee, is home to the Bylong Valley Protection Alliance (BVPA). The group says it has “fought long and hard against the coal project proposal by Korean company KEPCO, opposing the plans before the IPC, the NSW Land and Environment Court and at last month’s hearing in the Court of Appeal. KEPCO has been ordered to pay BVPA’s costs.

DESPITE the Covid-19 lockdowns, local school students are continuing to achieve on the national stage. The Central West Leadership Academy Global Issues Problem Solving Team was up against more than 150 teams in the Year 9 cohort and has qualified to compete at the National Competition Level next month. It’s the second time this team has made it to the nationals level. Academy Principal, Mandi Randell said Future Problem Solving is a competition in which teams research a problem and are then presented with a future scenario to solve. Students have two hours to identify 16 problems from a variety of categories, identify an underlying problem, create solutions to the underlying, evaluate and rank their solutions and make an action and implementation plan. The event will be held remotely this year due to the pandemic. Future Problem Solving is a research-based aca-

demic program designed to teach problem solving strategies, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, and effective communication. According to those behind the program, the interdisciplinary approach helps to develop ethical leadership skills and provides a unique opportunity for students to learn and apply essential life skills in the 21st century. “We could not be more proud,” Mrs Randell said. “For four years our team of four has tirelessly practiced and refined its skills and now they have been acknowledged as some of the best creative and critical thinkers in the country.” The Academy also had success in two other Future Problem Solving events according to Mandi Randell. “We entered three competitions and have nationals-level qualifying entries in all three categories,” she said. “These students have worked very hard to hone their skills and Dubbo should be very proud that we are so well represented on the national stage.”

Farming fortunes defy Covid concerns

THE EAGLE HASN’T LANDED This Black Kite (which can be confused with the eagle family) was just one of the feathered apex predators that jumped into the feeding frenzy during last week’s controlled burn at Bourke Hill on Dubbo’s western outskirts. Dozens of nature’s most efficient birds of prey gathered for a feast as the flames drove ground-dwellers from their hiding spots and refuges in the long undergrowth. Black Kites are readily attracted to any fire, and great numbers may be seen wheeling about in the smoke, looking ahead of the fire-front to find small creatures fleeing the flames, or picking up the burnt remains of those that did not escape.

Community has Covid questions By JOHN RYAN WESTERN residents have finally been given access to a $320 ‘test and isolate’ payment. Meanwhile, Walgett locals have been told they no longer have to isolate while they’re waiting for their Covid-19 test results. People living in Walgett who get tested will be part of a surveillance testing regime which has been mandated in a bid to encourage more people to come forward to get tested. Many locals have told Dubbo Photo News they’re not getting tested if they don’t have any symptoms because they can’t afford to take days off work while awaiting test results. Dubbo Photo News put some questions to NSW Health on September 6 after online debates ignited around whether isolation was mandatory until your results came back. Here’s part of the Q&A exchange: Q) It seems there’s some confusion over isolating after testing. If you get a Covid test, but you have no symptoms and haven’t been notified you’ve been at a location at the same time as a positive case, do you still have to isolate? A) Yes, you do. You need to isolate after any Covid-19 test, until you receive a negative result.

Q) It seems to me that this factor is putting many people off getting tested. There’s a lot of people on social media at the moment claiming that if you don’t have symptoms and haven’t been in a location of Covid concern, that you don’t have to isolate. A) Isolating for a couple of days is better than the alternative. We can only push the right messages and hope it eventually sinks in. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders acknowledged the financial stresses for many people having to take days away from work. “We know how difficult it has been for some people to take time off work – often without pay – while waiting for a test result,” Mr Saunders said. “Most people are now receiving their results within 24 hours, but we know the reality is that the more people are getting tested, the longer those results take – and we need more people to get tested to help get on top of this situation. “I hope this payment will help take the pressure off you if you don’t have access to any leave entitlements, or other support payments.” Dubbo Photo News asked Mr Saunders whether the state government should be fast-tracking the use of Rapid Antigen tests such as those used in many oth-

er nations. He said it’s part of the planning. Parkes Federal MP Mark Coulton told Dubbo Photo News that Rapid Antigen testing does have a role to play in the fight against Covid-19 and said these tests are being prioritised for high-risk settings, confirming 20,000 rapid antigen tests (RAT) have been deployed to Walgett by the NSW Ministry of Health and used as an early indicator, with positives to be confirmed by RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction). “The Federal Government is currently trialling the use of rapid antigen tests in a number of aged care facilities in NSW to identify whether they can be utilised in outbreak settings,” Mr Coulton said. “Rapid antigen tests can detect the virus in the acute phase of infection, however in settings where there are low rates of Covid-19, the tests are less accurate as there is a higher risk of both false positive and false negative results. “As a result, rapid antigen tests may be valuable alongside the gold-standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing in an outbreak where there is high local disease prevalence – planning for the greater use of rapid antigen testing as part of Australia’s Covid-19 testing strategy in the future is underway.”

Western Covid cases near 1000 AS Dubbo Photo News was going to press yesterday, the latest figures showed NSW recorded 1259 new locally acquired cases of Covid-19 across the state in the 24 hours to 8pm on Tuesday, September 14, with notifications of 12 deaths recorded in NSW. There were 1241 Covid -19 cases admitted to hospital, with 234 people in intensive care, 108 of whom required ventilation. Of those latest cases, six were from the Western NSW Local Health District – two from Dubbo, three in Bathurst, and one in the Warrumbungle Shire. That brought the total number of cases in the Western district to 997. NSW Health’s ongoing sewage surveillance program has recently detected fragments of the virus that causes COVID-19 at the Trangie sewage treatment plant. While no recent cases have been identified in the Trangie area, the department is urging everyone to monitor for the onset of symptoms.

DESPITE the pandemic causing widespread upheaval and disruption elsewhere in the national and global economy, the western region’s farming sector remains largely unaffected by the fallout. Farmer confidence across the state is being fuelled by favourable seasonal conditions, with cotton and grain growers the most optimistic of all, according to the latest quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey. High income projections are bolstering major farm investment and expansion plans according to the survey, which reports that soaking winter rains have set up a second consecutive favourable Spring season for farmers. In releasing the survey, Rabobank did acknowledge that since it was concluded, the rules around border restrictions and regional lockdowns have tightened, however ag sector seems to have steered clear of the the broader economic uncertainty at the hands of the virus. It has been a while coming, thanks to drought and other adversity across the west, but it seems conditions forecast for the coming year have boosted confidence in the sector to the highest levels ever recorded in the 20year history of the survey. Take that, Covid-19.

Dubbo becoming “international ready” DUBBO Regional Council’s “Destination Dubbo – International Ready” project is preparing local tourism infrastructure for the reopening of Australia’s borders. Development of a public heritage plaza at Old Dubbo Gaol, construction of a Wiradjuri Tourism Centre and activation of the Macquarie River Foreshore as a cultural events precinct are all part of council’s aim to elevate Dubbo to be the number one inland visitor destination in NSW and Australia. The project will increase the region’s support in achieving the state government’s overnight visitation expenditure targets of $20 billion by 2025 and $25 billion by 2030 in regional NSW.

South Dubbo IGA owner Ben Ashcroft has something important to say to all his customers: “I would like to apologise in advance for shutting early one day in the upcoming months as I want to take the entire team and partners out for dinner and drinks because they bloody deserve it.” PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS Continued from page 1

For people unaware of the complexities around operating an essential supermarket during a pandemic, here’s a snapshot of the process when a store is notified a Covid-positive case has been identified as attending the premises: “Staff who were on at that time require a test and have to isolate, returning to work only after a negative result. Close contacts need to isolate for 14 days, a deep clean is done throughout the store and any manual signin sheets for that time are sent to NSW Health,” Mr Ashcroft says, pointing out that it’s physically impossible to prevent Covid-positive cases from coming into the supermarket when they don’t know they’re positive. “We looked at hiring security, however it’s physically impossible to stop.” The business man says “999 customers in 1000 are awesome”. “It’s that one that wrecks the day – we’ve been spat on, had items thrown at us, been assaulted, and constantly sworn at,” Mr Ashcroft said, “It’s very tough, we are doing the very best we can considering being thrown in the deep end without training and

constant changing of the rules and regulations.” It’s a heavy load to carry for the staff members, many of whom are still at school and who work in the supermarket part-time as their first job. “I’d say half our team are school kids and uni students. Some left when it all started but most stayed on. I have 100 per cent no doubt we would have been closed without them, they were incredible. “It’s the proudest I have ever been in the entire team. The workload and stress they have been put under and continue to show up every day and give 110 per cent, they are absolutely incredible.” Mr Ashcroft says it’s also worrying for parents to have their children on the frontline, up close and personal with any number of people who could be Covid-positive on a daily basis but said he’s assured all those families the business will do everything in its power to keep everyone safe. He says the fact that few to no cases have been transmitted in a supermarket since the pandemic began in Australia is a comfort. “We have always had the attitude from day one of buying the business that for every student, schooling and sport take priority

and we will work around that for them.” Mr Ashcroft is also keen to thank his customers for staying the distance during such a difficult time. “I would like to thank all the customers for their understanding of the pressure we have been under and also for following the ever-changing rules. Everyone has been sensational. “Our team, our customers, even all the other shops in our Tamworth Street strip have all rallied together – keeping each other informed and checking in on each other continuously lifting all of us up. I get a great feeling of community among us as we are all like a big family.” ••• HANNAH, 18, is one of the HSC students who spends much of her time working at Ashcroft’s IGA to generate an income for herself. She’s an all-rounder, doing “a bit of everything, mostly checkout operator” and says Covid-19 has changed the work environment. “I feel a lot more cautious with our protocols regarding safety during transactions such as masks and sanitising, also staying behind the screens,” she told Dubbo Photo News, pointing out her greatest challenge is dealing

with customers who don’t want to comply with the rules. “I’ve had to pick up more hours covering other staff in isolation. I’ve had to step into a position I have never had to do before, increasing the pressure I’ve been put under.” Aside from the few customers who don’t want to comply, Hannah says most people have been very understanding. “A lot are very appreciative and thanking us for what we are doing. There are only a few who are hard to deal with in regard to Covid-19 protocols. “I’m vaccinated and we have good systems in place to keep us safe. I enjoy helping people, especially during this difficult time.” She said 2021 has been a challenging year to sit the HSC and work in an incredibly challenging and ever-changing environment at the same time. “Concentration is a challenge – doing everything from home has made things very difficult, motivation to online study is also very difficult,” she said, grateful she can let the IGA know her hours for study and online classes so they can work around that. “Thank-you to the customers for being appreciative of us doing the best we can.”

Get paid to test and isolate IN recognition of the difficulty many people face in taking time off work often without pay while waiting for a Covid-19 test result, a financial incentive is being offered. Payments for residents in Dubbo and across the broader region are now available, with the state government stumping up $320 “test and isolate payments” to encourage locals to test early and isolate if they have any Covid-19 symptoms or any concerns. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said most people are now receiving their results within 24 hours. “But we know the reality is that the more people are getting tested, the longer those results take – and we need more people to get tested to help get on top of this situation. “I hope this payment will help take the pressure off you if you don’t have access to any leave entitlements, or other support payments.”

Lockdown lifted... for some

BOARD IN ISO

By NATALIE LEWIS

AS lockdown life enters its second month in the Dubbo region, boredom has turned to boarddom with families turning to traditional games to entertain themselves. Among the best in this household are some of the old favourites such as Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit, Cluedo and Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, Hungry Hippos along with one for the strategists, chess. The games table has

been dusted off, which includes foosball and pool. Some of the new games encountered have been Brainiac, Crossroads, Linkwords and the ABC game. There’s also been bingo and a treasure hunt, puzzle swapping, online book club and learning, virtual Scouts, some hand-made ‘hug’ cards sent with letters and photos to loved ones, a cookie drop and plenty of video chats! What’s become impor-

tant at this time is keeping each other company, staying safe, staying sane and counting our blessings over all else. Like most things, this will pass, and hopefully everyone will come out the other side with good health and happiness. It’s actually been nice to return to an era that precedes technology and enjoy quality time together without rushing around all the time to activities and appointments. Pass the Yahtzee!

WHILE we remain under stay-athome orders here in Dubbo, a vast area of NSW has left lockdown, with the Mid-North and North Coast, the North-West, Albury, Riverina and Murrumbidgee areas all afforded new freedoms. Dubbo Region, Narrabri, Orange and Bathurst all remain in lockdown, and will do so due to Covid19 case numbers Describing it as a “bittersweet day for the regions”, Deputy Premier John Barilaro said southern and south-east NSW, the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Hunter, Central Coast, Central and Far West areas would not reopen any time soon. “This decision is based on NSW Health advice, and the LGAs which remain in lockdown will continue to be monitored and we will update those communities on a regular basis.”

SULLY’S WORLD, WHERE NORMAL ISN’T NEW

PHOTO: ROUSE FAMILY/EMILY LOUISE PHOTOGRAPHY

AT just shy of two years old, little Sullivan “Sully” Rouse has never known a time when adults didn’t peer down at him without a mask covering their smile. Born in Dubbo in late 2019, just as the words “Coronavirus” and “Covid”

first began to filter into the world’s consciousness, Sully is of the first generation that will never have known what life was before this global pandemic. This beautiful and powerfully emotive image of Sully with his dad, Toby, was captured by Mum, Emily Rouse,

during a holiday in Sydney just prior to the state plunging again into lockdown. The photograph has evoked myriad responses from those who have seen and been moved by the frozen moment between a father and his son. Some see it as sad or surreal, for

some it represents a changing world but there’s no doubt about the adage of a picture painting a thousand words – this image speaks of what we’ve all come to think of as our “new normal”. The upside for Sully and others of his generation, is that this is already

their normal. The wearing of masks, the social distancing, the “checking in and out”, the QR codes...that has always been their normal, while we grown-ups continue to try to navigate our way in this new world in which Covid-19 strides alongside us.

Cathy’s crazy costumed classics

By JOHN RYAN

CATHY NEELY isn’t the sort of person to let a global pandemic get her down and she’s been hell-bent on ensuring her hobby of collecting old clothes and wacky costumes helps brighten people’s days during lockdown. She spends much of her spare time dressing up and posting her daily outfits to social media to give her friends, and anyone else who chances across her page, a good laugh. “I had all these costumes, I thought, why not for a laugh?” she told Dubbo Photo News. ”I love it and if it makes (others) feel great...” The reaction Cathy has received has been off the charts and we can attest that more than one admirer has contacted our newspaper suggesting we do a “feel-good” story on her. “It’s been brilliant, everyone loves it. The responses people have really make my day,” she said. “I just want to thank everyone, I love reading all the responses (to the photos). I love how it makes people smile and have a giggle. We are all doing it tough at the moment, and if me being a bit crazy (helps) so be it.” And for those people concerned Cathy is running out of costumes, she can put those concerns to rest. “I have been collecting costumes for many years, picking up bits and pieces from the op shops – I love it and still have more costumes in the box.”

Pitter patter of precious little puppy paws WHEN it comes to good news – and couldn’t we all do with more of that right now? – we don’t need to look much further than the inhabitants of our world-renowned zoo, and it doesn’t get any better than the pitter patter of new little Meerkat pup paws. Keepers at Taronga Western Plains zoo joined proud parents Midra and Howell in welcoming three new pups last month. It’s the second litter for the meerkat mum and dad, who welcomed five babies back in November. The new trio comprises one male and two females, and while they’re yet to be named, they recently emerged from their den and keepers say they’re happy with how the pups are growing and developing. Long-time Meerkat keeper Karen James said pups usually stay in the den for the first couple of weeks of life, while their eyes open and get stronger. Karen says the five older

siblings help with babysitting duties, and while the pups rely on mum for milk at the moment, they’ll soon start trying solid food at around four weeks old. “At six weeks of age the Meerkat pups will have their first of three vaccinations and we will conduct a quick physical examination at the same time.” This little trio brings The Waterhole precinct’s Meerkat family to 10, and of course there’s the second group of Meerkats next to the Black Rhino exhibit at the start of the zoo circuit. The zoo might be closed now thanks to Covid-19, but rest assured there will be a stampede of appreciative guests when the gates open, with people keen to meet the new arrivals. Karen advises putting a visit to Taronga Western Plains Zoo high on the post-lockdown “to do” list, because Meerkat pups are impossibly cute, and “they don’t stay little for long”.

Hi-tech care helping ease dementia AT Kintyre Lodge we are dedicated to caring for our residents with dignity and respect, and to providing the best possible quality of life, including for those who are living with dementia. That’s why we’re proud to be able to provide access to an innovative new piece of technology called Tovertafel, which helps us support our residents. The technology uses beautiful interactive light projections to encourage people with dementia, and those around them to “play” together, thereby helping to foster social interaction and connection, and to help counter the withdrawal and apathy that typically goes along with the later stages of the condition. It’s deceptively simple in its design, hanging from the ceiling and containing a number of different features including a high-quality projector, infrared sensors, a loudspeaker and a processor to project the interactive games. Tovertafel was developed after more than a decade of scientific research and is used in thousands of locations across Europe. NOW, this pioneering interactive memory support equipment is right here at Dubbo’s Kintyre Lodge, where we’re committed to making sure all our residents have access to the latest and best quality care possible.

ADVERTORIAL

The Tovertafel system’s benefits for people with dementia are numerous: • Increases physical and social activity • Breaks through apathy • Reduces restless and tense behaviour • Reduces negative emotions and increases positive emotions • Improves the relationship between care staff and residents • Creates moments of happiness • Brings younger and older generations together.

Defeating dementia discrimination By NATALIE LEWIS DISCRIMINATION is one of the biggest underlying factors affecting awareness of dementia and its impact in the community. Dubbo Homestead Care Community general manager Margaret Irish said Dementia Action Week from September 20 to 26 presents an opportunity for the community to come together to talk and learn more about dementia. “If people had a better understanding of the way their words, behaviours and responses can positively impact people living dementia, it would make a big difference to their quality of life and help reduce discrimination,” she said. With half a million Australians living with dementia and 1.6 million people involved in their care, dementia affects many people from all walks of life. “All of us will know someone who is affected by dementia and yet it’s still largely misunderstood in the community,” Ms Irish said.

The theme of next week’s Dementia Action Week is “A little support makes a big difference” so it’s really important for people to know how to be supportive and inclusive towards people living with dementia. “When someone is diagnosed with dementia, there’s a common misperception that they have a complete loss of function and independence. In reality, there’s a wealth of evidence that shows people living with dementia and who have good support can live active and fulfilling lives for many years. Ms Irish said the lack of understanding and support can have a hugely detrimental effect on those with dementia and their carers. “It can lead to feeling socially isolated and experiencing loneliness and poor mental health. Equally, carers can feel lonely or isolated if their friends or social group withdraw from them because they feel they don’t know how to help.” Ms Irish said the discrimina-

tion can often be inadvertent due to that lack of awareness and empathy. That’s why she whole-heartedly believes normalising the conversation is vital through public campaigns and making education and support services more prominent in the community. Adjusting physical spaces, social environments and health and community services to reflect that need will go a long way. “We can all contribute to creating dementia-friendly communities, and in doing so, remove some of the barriers that people living with dementia experience when trying to participate in everyday life. “Our quality of life is influenced by our sense of self-worth and connection to community, and when communities are inclusive it enables better outcomes for people living with dementia.” For more information or to access services associated with dementia, visit dementia.org.au or call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.

A little support makes a big difference COMMENT By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WHAT’S the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words “dementia” or “Alzheimer’s”? Do you think it’s something that happens to old people or that it’s just about losing your marbles? These are not useful stereotypes for the 459,000 Australians counted as living with dementia last year, or for their 1.6 million carers. It makes life unnecessarily hard. Dementia is not, never will be and never has been, an old person’s disease. The youngest known person diagnosed was in the UK in 2017 – a 31-year-old woman. The incidence of dementia increases with age, but age is not medically a cause. Australia’s aging population does however put us on a trajectory to seeing 318 mums, dads, grandparents,

tion or disrespect. The Dementia Australia website has numerous resources to help you face the challenges as a support person, even if that means you arrange to ring once a week, say hello, share a story or a memory that connects you, take them out for a walk, do some gardening with them, and always tell them you appreciate their friendship or love them. All Dementia advocates agree that isolation and loneliness is one of the hardest realities to kick in after a diagnosis, yet that’s the time to rally. If you have friends or family living with or caring for someone with dementia, you can play a role to support them. Don’t drift away, lean in to give a little support to a person living with dementia and a little support to their carer, friend or family member.

Western NSW Teacher shortage a worrying concern

A SHORTAGE of teachers across western NSW has the NSW Teachers Federation concerned, with president Angelo Gavrielatos saying classes are being combined and students given only minimal supervision on hundreds of occasions in both city and country schools across the state due to growing teacher shortages. He described the state government’s figures as “alarming” and said teachers were reporting class sizes of up to 45 students as a result. “This is an example of the very real impact teacher shortages are having on students and teachers in schools from the inner west of Sydney to the far west of NSW,” Mr Gavrielatos said. “As we prepare for schools to go back next term, it is a stark reminder of why teacher shortages must be addressed as a matter of urgency.”

IT’S A RECORD! When Amy Palmiero-Winters collided with a vehicle while out on her motorcycle years ago, she never thought it would one day lead her to becoming a Guinness World Records title holder. She recently set a record for the fastest 100 miles on a treadmill (female) – LA2 in a time of 21 hours 43 minutes and 29 seconds. Back in 1994, the inspirational mum and athlete was in an accident which resulted in an above-the-knee amputation of her left leg. Now, after 25 surgeries, heavy bouts of physical therapy, rehabilitation, emotional determination and a will to carry on – Amy not only runs marathons, she breaks records with them.

The Western NSW Local Health District has secured the temporary accommodation for those unable to stay in their own home while recovering from the virus or isolating as a close contact. Supported by Health Infrastructure, the campervans are located at Bourke’s Mitchell Caravan Park and are fully self-contained with air conditioning, shower and toilet facilities, cooking and eating facilities, radio and TV. A small outdoor area is available for each campervan, and a linen and waste service will be provided. Food services similar to those provided to people self-isolating at home will also be supplied. The campervans will be available for up to two weeks at a time for people in need of temporary accommodation who were experiencing specific circumstances.

Man charged with serious ﬁrearm offence THE NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) has charged a 26-year-old man from Orange with a serious firearms offence as part of an investigation into the importation of firearm components by an alleged supporter of ideologically motivated violent extremism. The man was to appear at Dubbo Local Court on Monday accused of possessing a digital blueprint to manufacture a firearm, contrary to section 51F (1) of the Firearms Act (NSW).

John and Joy Copeland’s family had come to call Dubbo home in recent years but circumstances compelled them to move back to Victoria just prior to the recent border closures. When they’d sold their Dubbo home but were unable to return to the city to pack up their furniture they were concerned the settlement date would see their house still full of their belongings. The couple told Dubbo Photo News they were overwhelmed with gratitude when locals came to the rescue. ••• Tell us about your move, your house sale and the Covid-19 lockdowns that meant you weren’t able to clean out your property? We took the difficult decision to come back to Melbourne to be closer to our client base in the city. We had moved out to Dubbo to be nearer my family (I grew up in Coonabarabran) but the border closures and travel disruptions meant we couldn’t run our business remotely like we had wanted to. So we decided to put the house on the market. Mark Searle agreed to take on the job for a lower commission than the competition was charging, and we wanted to use a local business.

Native vegetation trial

Landlord’s dream in Wellington

FARMERS across the Central West could be eligible to receive payments to help manage and enhance existing native vegetation on their properties, as part of the Australian Government’s Enhancing Remnant Vegetation Pilot. The Central West is one of six regions in Australia selected for this trial of a market-based approach that will see farmers paid for their actions to protect and enhance their remnant native vegetation. The Federal Government provided $22.3 million in the 2021 budget to run these additional trials alongside the Carbon Plus Biodiversity Pilot, as part of the ongoing $66.1 million Agriculture Stewardship Package.

IT’S a landlord’s dream in Wellington at the moment, with a four bedroom property available for a rent of a massive $800 a week. Local real estate agent Viv Wellington said there is a glut of furnished properties in town and the market is very busy at the moment. “We are very busy, they are just selling. Investment has been really good.” Ms Wellington said more people are moving to town for work or a different lifestyle. “Covid-19 has got people that work remotely, along with tree changers. It’s been good for country NSW because people can’t have overseas trips.” A median price for a three bedroom home is now $250,000.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Quick-thinking public save car crash driver WELL done to those locals who witnessed a pretty horrifying crash and came to the aid of those involved last Saturday. Police have told Dubbo Photo News that a 54-year-old man driving a silver Ford Ranger ute had possibly suffered a medical episode which caused his vehicle to pull off to the left side of Cobra Street and mount both the curb and a raised concrete structure which hurled it into the front wall of the Aberdeen Motel. The force of the impact caused much of the brickwork to collapse, while the momentum of the ute carried it through a fence and into the front yard of a neighbouring property. Witnesses told Dubbo Photo News that while some people early on the scene were hysterical, many kept cool heads and removed the driver from the vehicle to administer CPR. I’ve been contacted by a number of witnesses as well as locals who weren’t at the scene who’d like to see the bystanders, who probably saved this man’s life, receive some sort of public recognition such as bravery awards – I couldn’t agree more, it was a fantastic effort. The driver was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Dubbo Hospital, he was later transferred to Orange Hospital. The 19-year-old female passenger suffered minor injuries in the crash and there was a power blackout to some sections of the city for a short time after the accident, including the traffic lights on the LH Ford Bridge. It was a great effort once again by all of Dubbo’s first responders who attended. The photographs in these pages bear testament to the force of the impact.

P2 driver pursuit POLICE have charged a P2 driver following a pursuit at the weekend. About 11.20pm on September 11 police were patrolling the city when they attempted to stop white Ford Falcon on Alfred Street – the Falcon failed to stop. A pursuit was initiated throughout Dubbo and continued to Narromine, where it was terminated due to safety concerns. A short time later, officers arrested a man exiting the same vehicle in Bellbird Way, Dubbo – the 19-year-old was subjected to a random breath test, returning a positive result and he was taken to Dubbo Police Station where he was charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously and special category driver drive with special range PCA. He was given a court attendance notice to appear at Dubbo Local Court on October 27.

Speeding detected POLICE conducting mobile patrols last weekend observed a silver Toyota sedan travelling towards them at a speed well above the signposted speed limit on The McGrane Way, 25km south of Narromine. Utilising radar, officers checked the speed of the Toyota at 155km/h – they stopped the vehicle and spoke to the 26-year-old Condobolin man who was driving. He was issued a penalty notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h and his licence was suspended on the spot for a period of six months.

Gil RBT returns 0.110 POLICE were patrolling Gilgandra as part of Operation Stay at Home about 9.15pm September 10 when they stopped a 34-year-old male driver of a Toyota Land Cruiser on Castlereagh Street for the purpose of a Random Breath Test. Police said the RBT returned a positive result, the driver was placed under arrest and taken to Gilgandra Police Station where a Breath Analysis returned a result of 0.110. The 34-year-old was charged with drive Mid-Range PCA and his driver’s licence was immediately suspended.

High range DUI in Wello A POLICE patrol in Wellington at 2:12am on September 11 saw officers stop a 27-year-old male driver on Pierce Street for the purpose of a random breath test, which returned a positive result. The accused was arrested and was taken to Wellington Police Station where a breath analysis gave a reading of 0.178.

Police pulled over a driver south of Narromine.

The driver was charged with Drive High Range PCA and his licence was suspended.

Dunedoo charges POLICE patrols of the Dunedoo area weren’t a wasted exercise when around 9:50pm on September 10 they observed a vehicle swerving onto the incorrect side of the road before jerking harshly into the correct lane. Officers stopped the vehicle in Cobborah St. The 21-year-old male driver produced his driver’s licence and was given a breath test which returned a positive result. At the time another male was seated in the rear seat of the vehicle. The driver was placed under arrest for the purpose of a breath analysis. At the time neither of the occupants were wearing face coverings as required by current public health orders. Neither male had a reason to be in the Dunedoo area in breach of the current stay at home Public Health Orders. The male driver allegedly told police they were in the Dunedoo area to “have a few drinks with friends and meet some girls”. The driver was taken to Dunedoo Police station where he was given a breath analysis, which returned a positive result of 0.147, he was charged with Drive MidRange PCA and his licence was suspended. Both males were also infringed for breaching the Public Health Order.

Dubbo ranges high About 9:45pm on September 10 police were conducting patrols of the Dubbo area and noticed a white Mitsubishi Triton travelling along Windsor Parade. The vehicle was seen drifting between lanes, making late turns and merging without indicating. Police stopped the vehicle on Capstan Drive and approached the driver’s side of the vehicle and could immediately smell intoxicating liquor emitting from the vehicle. The 22-year-old male driver was given a roadside breath test which returned a positive reading – he was arrested and taken to Dub-

bo Police Station where a breath analysis returned a result of 0.162. He was charged with Drive High-Range PCA and his licence was immediately suspended.

Police were told the man had been assaulted by three men, who stole a number of items before fleeing the location, the alleged assailants described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance. Detectives established Strike Force Kinilibah to investigate the incident and as part of ongoing inquiries police have released images of a Blue Toyota Arion which they believe the men travelled in.

SCORING NEW SKILLS

Keeping up sports skills in lockdown By JOHN RYAN

ANTHONY Barnes is hoping he’ll look back at the current lockdowns and see that he’s achieved plenty of goals. The operator of SportsPower has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the store open to both maintain a viable business, but also to ensure his employees have a pay cheque each week. But one of the main reasons he’s kept his store open is his belief that sport and physical exercise is essential during lockdowns to keep children and parents fit and entertained. “Who knows? You might even develop new skills. Kicking an AFL or soccer ball in the yard may transfer new skills to the league or union player,” Mr Barnes told Dubbo Photo News. “Throwing darts may help hand-eye coordination for the netballer or cricketer. “Shooting hoops on the basketball ring might improve passing the footy. Getting a walk in each day might turn into a slow jog and then you’re a regular park runner. “Even better than this is just spending time doing something fun with family. That kick, bounce or game of darts, ping pong or pool can never be underestimated in providing a (good) mental health break from the pressure of lockdown. It has to be just as important an essential service as anything else provides.” Mr Barnes says parents trying to work from home and having to manage their kids doing school work, particularly if they are

primary-school aged – need to take breaks. “Just getting out in the backyard kicking a ball with kids is a great way to get exercise and connect with family,” he said. “These lockdown restrictions put a strain on people’s mental health and doing exercise or just playing a game is a great way to break up the day.” Mr Barnes is fully vaccinated and all SportsPower staff have had at least their first jab both for their own protection and secondly, he says, so they can maintain a Covid-safe business for their customers “We are a local business and I need to keep the business going so I can pay wages to support my staff and their families. Any support is appreciated and that would be the same for all Dubbo businesses,” Mr Barnes said. “The stay at home orders do allow people to phone and collect products from businesses. It’s faster than ordering off the internet and by phoning we can answer any questions and you can collect it straight away – no waiting days or weeks! “The best way for customers is to phone us or email and then come and collect or we can arrange delivery of bigger items like treadmills, gyms, ping pong tables and so on.” Anthony Barnes says now’s the time to learn a new skill – he believes local league and union players can beneﬁt from kicking an Aussie Rules ball, just as Cooper Cronk did during his playing days with the Melbourne Storm.

Oh, what a feeling: Skills shortage drives a hard bargain

WITH the school year coming towards a close in a Covid-affected 2021 many local businesses say they’re struggling to attract staff across the board. Here, Dubbo City Toyota general manager Ben Thompson speaks with Dubbo Photo News about the problems the dealership is facing when it comes to finding the right employees for the various jobs on offer. ••• Tell us what sort of positions you have vacant at the moment. Currently we are on the lookout for experienced mechanics, customer service and sales people, a service and parts advisor for our Gilgandra branch and trainees looking to start in the automotive industry as cadet sales people. How tough is it to get workers across the board in 2021? We have been incredibly lucky and added some wonderful people to our Toyota family from either a move to the country or a change of industry, however some positions are harder than others. There’s certainly a skills’ shortage in some areas. Why do you think that is? Given the current climate, peo-

ple are simply just reconsidering their options and what they value going forward. It’s totally understandable – it’s a strange world out there at the moment. What do you think businesses can collectively do to help address this labour shortage? For us, it’s about being prepared to bring people through young and give them all the skills and tools they need to be successful. That takes a lot of time and effort but it’s certainly well and truly worth it. We want to do this via various channels including apprenticeships, cadetships and working closely with schools on schoolbased traineeship programs. Do you believe changes to government policy could help with, for instance, incentive schemes, and if so what speciﬁc changes could help? Currently we work closely with agencies and providers to maximise these opportunities. The next step is for the borders to be opened to people wanting to move to Australia and our regional areas. I think our governments are doing a good job here and listening to business. What sort of training, support and culture do you try to provide to

your employees and how important is that for small businesses these days? Firstly for us it’s about culture fit. Our team is one big family and it’s important anyone incoming is going to be able to fit that. We work hard on trying to provide an environment where our team is highly engaged. We like to empower our team to help us solve the problems in the business that allow us to in turn create better experiences for our customers. Training is a big one for us, I think we can never have enough training and we are committed to ensure we give our team all the training and skills they need to be successful. Our management team is focused on supporting their teams, particularly in understanding people’s mental health in the current lockdown environments. Anything you’d like to add? If you are out there and curious about a possible change of career, we’d like to hear from you. The automotive industry is one that offers so many career paths and personal development opportunities. Most of all we are just looking for people who want to help us create great experiences. – As told to John Ryan

Wellington’s heart for her namesake’s history By NATALIE LEWIS VIV Wellington worked in the tobacco industry for 30 years before turning her hand to selling real estate in Wellington, working initially for LJ Hooker after the late Rex Turner head-hunted her from Philip Morris Tobacco. “He said “I want you to come and sell real estate”. The rest was history. Ms Wellington gained a Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice followed by her agent’s licence and now runs her own small agency. She loves being in Wellington, not only because it’s her namesake. “I’ve been an agent for eight years and we (the real estate agents) all

work well together here. There’s enough work for all of us.” Ms Wellington says the reason she loves the town so much is her passion for old houses and their history. “For me, selling a new home is not as exciting as somewhere that’s 100 years old. It also enables me to show people where the bricks were made at the old brickworks. “It’s really nice to show someone the history of a home.” Originally from Sydney, Ms Wellington confesses she became a real estate agent because of her own experiences. “I used to move around a lot and I felt that real estate agents were awful. I said “if I ever get into real es-

At her agency, everyone is treated with the utmost care and attention. “It doesn’t matter who walks through the door, we are nice to them and treat them with respect.” Asked about moving from the tobacco industry into real estate, Ms Wellington explains that it was a natural progression. “I’m a salesperson. As long as you know the product, the skills are there.” Ms Wellington says most people have an impression of what a real estate agent is but she believes being open with people goes a long way. “What you have to be is honest, Wellington real estate Viv Wellington has a heart for the history of her nameit helps to build a solid reputation.” sake, and believes reputation is built on honesty.

HAZARDS REDUCED By JOHN RYAN SMOKE filled the skies over much of Dubbo on Saturday (September 11) as firefighters conducted a controlled hazard reduction burn at Bourke Hill, on the city’s western outskirts. About 30 NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) members took part, supported by crews from Fire and Rescue NSW.. NSW RFS Inspector Bron Waters,said hazard reduction burns play a vital role in helping to reduce the intensity of bushfires. “Each year only a small window of opportunity exists where weather conditions are conducive to controlled burns,” Inspector Waters said. “These controlled burns will help protect properties and assets around Bourke Hill and also assist our firefighters to control future grass fires in these areas. “For a hazard reduction burn to be successful, we require the right wind and temperature conditions as well as ground fuels to be sufficiently dry.” The RFS plans to conduct a hazard reduction burn along the Golden Highway in the Mugga Downs area just to the east of Dubbo in the next month.

Guess how much time you spend online?

Messages of love from a distance Photos contributed by THE BRACKEN HOUSE TEAM WITH the global pandemic having disrupted so much of the social interaction we took for granted, it’s been a difficult time for many of our seniors who are particularly vulnerable to Covid-19. It’s important to keep these precious souls safe, so aged care facilities are doing everything they can to make sure that while residents need to be physically distanced, they needn’t be disconnected. Dubbo’s Bracken House team

members have gone above and beyond to help residents reach out to loved ones, as these beautiful images show. Residents were encouraged to write messages to family, and we in turn wanted to share those messages in the hope of helping to spread a little of that love. We would love family and friends of those in these photos to respond with their own signs and photos. Contact Dubbo Photo News on 6885 4433 or email photos and messages to photos@ dubbophotonews.com.au

IF you don’t want to be confronted with the reality of just how much time you’re spending online during lockdown, look away now. Because a fascinating – if shocking – new study conducted by virtual private network provider NordVPN shows that Australians are spending roughly a third of their lifetime staring at a small screen. Apparently, we spend 27 years, six months and 17 days on the internet so given the average life expectancy in Australia of 82.9 years, that means we’re online for around a third of our time on the planet. The survey showed that during a typical week, Aussies spend a bit more than 55 hours using the internet, which is the equivalent of more than two days, or a little over 114 days a year or almost 27 years of a lifetime. Of those 55 hours, around 16 hours are spent working, with the remaining almost 39-or-so hours devoted to other online activities. The average time Australians start browsing the internet each day is 9:03 – and they don’t log off until 21:18, with social media taking the lion’s share of that time at nine hours and 14 minutes. We spend four hours and 26 minutes listening to music on various platforms, while three hours and 15 minutes are devoted to “research”, another three to gaming and another three for admin tasks like banking. Dubbo Photo News suggests you spend at least some of that third of your life reading its digital edition at www.dubbophotonews.com – its free, by the way!

Animal drugs baaaaad for you, vets warn IT shouldn’t need to be said, but if you’re thinking of taking a swig or two of sheep drench to ward off the Coronavirus...don’t. That’s the message from the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) which is deeply concerned by reports of people thinking they can use Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19. While a version of the drug is sometimes prescribed by doctors to treat parasites in humans, it’s a very different brew to the off-theshelf Ivermectin which is mostly used by vets to treat animals. It is NOT approved for and should never be used for or by humans. Despite a wave of online misinformation – ironically promoted by people who accuse others of being “sheeple” – that touts Ivermectin as some kind of “miracle cure” for Covid-19, the AVA says there is no evidence to support the use of the drug for this virus. “Taking a drug intended for animals can make you seriously ill and be potentially life threatening. If you are worried about Covid-19, please talk to your doctor,” an AVA spokesperson said.

By NATALIE LEWIS ONE of the overwhelming outcomes of the inaugural Dubbo Art Fair was the potential for more locally-based artists to have their work recognised on a professional stage in the future. Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC) hosted the inaugural event to which artmakers were invited to exhibit and sell their work to the public, for no fee. WPCC cultural development officer Jessica Moore was very impressed by the excellent art showcased over the two-day event and said some of the artists were experiencing the limelight for the first time. “There were 10 or so artists we’ve never seen before,” she said of the exhibitors. “It was a great way to let them feel comfortable in our space.” As a result, Miss Moore said the

event launched numerous possibilities for WPCC’s HomeGround program which opened to applications on September 10. “There were a number of artists that we would like to approach,” she said. “There were quite a few artists we’d really like to push to the next level.” Since the art fair and Dubbo’s lockdown began, WPCC has turned to various media platforms to share information about its artists and programs. “We have been sharing artists on social media. We decided to pivot and share,” she explained. “We wanted to keep that positive energy going.” WPCC is now welcoming local artists to be involved in HomeGround as part of their cultural and professional development. Curator officer Mariam Abboud said this year’s HomeGround will

focus on Central West artists. “The region around Dubbo has a remarkable depth of artistic talent and the HomeGround program gives artists the opportunity to work with the curatorial staff of the WPCC over a year to develop a solo exhibition. “We want to give regional artists the kind of opportunities that are more easily available to artists living in the city or urban areas – opportunities such as access to exhibition space, professional advice and mentoring.” Ms Abboud said regional artists should not be disadvantaged by their postcode, and WPCC is committed to delivering a high-quality program for those practicing art in rural, remote and regional areas. “We want to see our stories on the wall, artwork that has been developed from within regional NSW. The recent success of the inaugural Dubbo Art Fair has shown us how

passionate the community is about our local art scene,” she said. Successful HomeGround applicants have the opportunity to work with curators over 12 months to develop work with a view to holding an exhibition, giving them the invaluable experience of showing their work in a public gallery. “We are looking for artists who want to explore an idea or concept through their work and applications that highlight a well thought-out and cohesive idea.” Applications close at 5pm on October 29. Download an application form from www.westernplainsculturalcentre.org For more information, call Mariam Abboud on 02 6801 4434 or Mariam. Abboud@dubbo.nsw. gov.au HomeGround is run in partnership with Orana Arts, and sponsored by Wingewarra Dental.

Fong Lees Lane has been highlighted as Wellington’s cultural heart, with plans for a permanent art trail through town. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

By NATALIE LEWIS AN art trail through town is one of the proposed outcomes of the Wellington Town Plan, highlighting the local area’s immense cultural richness and history. The Dubbo Regional Council plan indicates that art works in prominent locations can “generate interest and contribute to civic pride as well as funnel foot traffic to key locations”. The creation of a permanent

Wellington Art Trail through the town centre celebrating its rich Chinese, Aboriginal and European heritage and reinforcing key pedestrian links is highlighted as a key opportunity of the plan. Fong Lees Lane is earmarked as Wellington’s creative centrepiece, with more work needed to further bring the laneway to life. “Council could invite submissions from interested parties, the trail could be focussed around Fong Lees Lane,” the report

states. “Fong Lees Lane contains several examples of existing public art related to the Chinese heritage of the town and is part of the town’s existing art trail and the Fong Lees Lane Festival...however it is in need of maintenance and repair and could be the subject of further promotion to encourage pedestrian activity in this location.” An opportunity highlighted by the plan is for “a concept design

to be developed for the repair and beautification of Fong Lees Lane with community input”. Wellington Arts president Lisa Thomas said the group is keen to work with council to continue to develop artistic ideas for the ongoing beautification of Wellington. “The plan is to harmonise the potential artistic and historic plans so that the outcome flows and respects certain areas of the town and promotes them for the right reasons,” she said.

“Part of this entails having an agreement that allows for maintenance or removal or such pieces should they become vandalised or degraded. To install signage or information boards, the request is to use the same materials for signage, same script and text, same colours and so on.” Sadly, the highly successful Fong Lees Lane Festival which was started in 2019 has been cancelled in both 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

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

Kath calls time on caring career

By JEN COWLEY

IT’S almost lost against the background of her royal blue jumper, but on Kath Readford’s chest – above one of the biggest hearts in the western region – is a piece of blue and yellow ribbon on which rests a tiny circle of gold. It’s the subtle signature pin of an Order of Australia Medal (OAM), bestowed on this unpretentious country grandmother in 2010 for her extraordinary services to those living with dementia. At the time, the unassuming recipient said she felt the families and carers of people with the mercurial and often devastating condition “are the true heroes”. While that sentiment continues to underscore her dedication to the sector, there are many of those families and carers who would argue the toss. The long-time counsellor, whose name is synonymous with dementia support across the vast western region, is widely and justifiably credited by many as being the reason they were able to get through the often complicated and always distressing experience of caring for someone they love who is suffering the ravages of dementia. It’s hard to imagine the Dementia Counselling Service without her hands on the reins, but the first day of October will be the last of Kath’s career. After 28 years in the role, she’s calling time. She could have hung around to make it a round number, but Kath has found two successors to whom she’s comfortable in handing over and she’s not letting them get away. “New faces, new people, new ideas,” she says, adding that the succession planning process has been in train for a few years. “I wanted to make sure whoever took over had a heart and passion for the job.” It will be sad to shut that office

Above: During Dementia Awareness Week in 2011, Dubbo Weekender’s Jen Cowley sat down with Kath Readford to talk about what is often referred to as “the long goodbye”. A decade later, the pair met again to talk about how the dementia counselling service Kath started 28 years ago will continue with new hands on the reins after she retires this month. Kath Readford OAM has been the region’s face of dementia services for 28 years and when she steps into retirement at the end of this month, she’ll be gone from the role but never forgotten.

door for the last time but, ever the optimist, Kath is looking forward to getting on with life outside the work she’s committed to since first stepping into the role nearly three decades ago. Kath started the Dementia Counselling Service here in Dubbo after moving from Coonamble in November 1993 to take up the challenge as one of five dementia counsellors recruited across the state under the national dementia action plan, funded by Alzheimer’s Australia. It was a natural progression for the young nurse who completed her training in Sydney and went straight into community nursing and aged care. “I just love people and found I loved working with older people. “Their experience, their life stories, their wisdom, what they have to give to society...we don’t experience the benefit of all that if we don’t talk to them.” It pains Kath that society tends to see aging as a disease, as something undesirable. “I don’t subscribe to that thinking. Getting old is a privilege, something we should cherish. “You go to someone’s funeral, and you listen to their life story and you think, “Wow, they did

all those wonderful things, why didn’t we know that while they were alive? “Older people have a wealth of experience we can all learn from and I’m just fascinated by that.” Having worked so long in the field of dementia, I’m interested to know, as she steps into retirement and the latter part of her life, how she feels about her own future as an older person. “I don’t fear getting old,” she says emphatically. “My philosophy is that every birthday should be celebrated, life should be lived each day. As you get older you should try to stay as healthy and active as you can and do the things you want to do.” Would she recognise dementia should it come looking for her? Is hyper vigilance one of the consequences of working so long in the field? “Oh yes,” she says quickly. “Of course I’ve thought about that, and I’ll admit that I sometimes have trouble with word recall. I’ll forget a word and think, oh dear and I panic a bit, but I remind myself that the brain is like a filing cabinet and that as we get older

sometimes it just takes a bit longer to find the right file. “I’m as vulnerable as anyone, but you can’t sit there worrying about it – you just have to get on with things, but plan as much as you can.” On the subject of planning, Kath has seen enough of the end of life in all its glory and agony – both ends of the spectrum and all points in between – to know how she would like her own old age and end-of-life to look. “Advance care planning is hugely important – do it while you are well and have capacity, and communicate your wishes clearly to your family. “It makes it a lot easier for your carers if they know you’ve chosen carefully.” With the benefit of intimate experience in the sector, Kath says it’s vitally important to think carefully about enduring power of attorney and enduring guardian as part of your plan. “Choose those you trust most to take care of the different aspects of your life. It’s never too early to start planning.” Of the many things 28 years in this job has taught her, Kath re-

turns time and again to the importance of planning. “I’ve learned not to just leave things to chance – “what will be will be” is okay to a point, but I’ve learned it’s best to plan as much as you can, and that then allows you to go out and really live each day with confidence knowing you have things in place as much as possible.” As to how things have changed as she looks back over the years, “not nearly enough” is her assessment of society’s attitudes to aging and dementia. “Attitudes haven’t changed as much as I’d like – it’s a continual process of educating the community so that our older people are treated with dignity. “Our society needs to understand dementia a little better and to be more inclusive of people who are living with dementia, and their carers.” As she prepares to step out into the next phase of her life, her parting advice to the community she has served for so long is simple: “Show a little kindness and patience – one day, it may well be you or someone you love.”

New faces, same care By JEN COWLEY

WHEN Kath Readford OAM steps out of them at the end of this month after 28 years in the job, her successors will slip seamlessly into those huge shoes and continue to walk the same path with confidence, care and compassion. Anne Gemmell and Jeanie Cronk, both experienced nurses who have worked extensively across the community and aged care sectors, bring a wealth of their own knowledge and expertise to the role they will share at the helm of Dementia Counselling Services. A large part of the service they provide is helping families to navigate the often unchartered waters of aged care, and both Anne and Jeanie are well placed to guide the process. Wrangling the My Aged Care system is one thing, but the pair says the diagnosis of dementia is crucial in accessing support – knowing where to start can be a challenge. “One of the most vital roles of a dementia counsellor is to help carers to navigate the system and getting that diagnosis is so important,” says Jeanie. “There’s a lot of anxiety associated with caring for someone with dementia, but if you have people who are able to guide and support you, that makes all the difference.” As experienced professionals, Anne and Jeanie will bring their own perspectives to and apply their own unique stamp to the job, even though they know they’re following in gi-

ant footsteps. “Kath has a wealth of knowledge, and just from observing the way she interacts with clients and carers is a pleasure to watch and she’s a fantastic teacher. She’s set a great example of empathy,” says Anne, adding that not only does Kath have that breadth of knowledge, she’s eager and willing to share it. Jeanie seizes on the point: “You know, that was what sealed the deal for me to take on this job – I saw the passion Kath has for it, and the fact that she didn’t want to leave the service she’s set up to just anyone. After 28 years, she didn’t want to just walk away from it and wonder what would happen.” Just as they both say their predecessor has a “heart” for the role, so too it seems do Anne and Jeanie, such is their enthusiasm to take the reins and continue the vital service to community. Anne speaks for them both in expressing a desire to follow the path already paved, but to build on those foundations. “The way Kath cares for the clients and carers is a great example of how we want to lead but we both want to build on that.” The elephant in the room is Covid-19, and Jeanie acknowledges the difficulty inherent in continuing to provide dementia counselling while lockdowns and restrictions are in place, mindful always of the vulnerability of the people they serve. “But because this service,

and Kath, cares so much, they’re trying really hard and are even doing one-on-one care – I admire that so much. “It would be so easy to just say, “Sorry, we’re closed because of lockdown”, but not Kath. She goes the extra mile and that’s what we’re aiming to build on.” One of the ways in which Anne and Jeanie plan to continue Kath’s commitment to building a more dementia-friendly community is to increase awareness and visibility of dementia counselling services, and of the condition itself. “We need to be out there and we need to be seen and heard. We need to educate, and we need to inform people of where to go to access help,” says Anne. As they step into their new role, the dementia counsellors both have this one piece of advice for carers of aging loved ones: “Reach out, accept any help that’s available. “Right from the word go, accept that the person you’re caring for does have dementia. Start early and get all the help you can.”  The Dementia Counselling Service is a free service based in Dubbo and covering a vast region of the state in the footprint of the Western NSW Local Health District. More information on the services available can be found by contacting Anne or Jeanie on 6881 3704, or by emailing agemmell@chcs.com.au or jcronk@chcs.com.au.

DEMENTIA AWARENESS

Gone, not forgot Lorraine Holland’s husband of 34 years died last month from Alzheimer’s at the age of 66, his physical body finally giving in to the ravages of a disease that began stealing him from her more than a decade ago. Although the years of anticipation will never lessen the blow of his loss, Lorraine hopes that telling their story will help shine more light onto a condition that affects an estimated one in ten Australians. BY JEN COWLEY IT’S only four weeks since Alexander “Al” Holland’s physical body finally yielded to the Alzheimer’s Disease that had been slowly claiming his cognitive self for more than a decade. So it might seem remarkable that his wife Lorraine is able to sit down for an interview when the gaping wound of his loss is still so raw but then, it’s been eleven years since she first began the long goodbye to her husband of 34 years. Alzheimer’s moved in when Al was 55, and by the time it finally took his life last month at the age of 66, the unwelcome guest had been with them for a third of their married life. When Al took his last breath it wasn’t a surprise, but it still came as one hell of a shock. “I wasn’t prepared for the final goodbye. I thought I would be,” she says, and seems embarrassed that she has to choke back her words for a moment. She shakes her head to dislodge the emotion, and steels herself. “Sorry,” she says, quite unnecessarily. The woman has just lost the man she was married to for more than half her life, but it’s clear she takes comfort in her outward strength. “You know, it’s funny,” she continues. “For all those years after he was diagnosed, I’d be driving along thinking and suddenly get this wave of heartbreak at the thought of where it was all going, but you just get on with living and making the most of what you can.” ••• WE are enjoying a walk – social-

ly distanced – around Lorraine’s stunning garden, an expertly manicured but unfussy sprawling oasis on the outskirts of the Dubbo. The warm spring afternoon sunshine seems at odds with the grim conversation we’re having about a devastating disease that’s still largely unchartered, but is estimated to affect around 450,000 Australians a year*. It’s the most common form of dementia, accounting for roughly 70 per cent, and while it’s largely a condition that affects older people, being diagnosed at just 55, Al was at the younger end of the spectrum. Alzheimer’s is a degenerative and incurable disease of the brain that impairs functions such as memory, thought, language and behaviour. It manifests very differently for every sufferer, says Lorraine, offering up a simple analogy for the way the disease affects the brain. “How I first came to understand it is this: our brain has all these different receptors firing to send all the messages around. Imagine if you began drizzling honey into all those pathways in the brain and it started to glug up and the signals couldn’t get through. Then that honey just seeps through into other parts of the brain, and then it moves to somewhere else in the brain. That’s what this protein substance called amyloid plaques does – it’s the honey. “It can affect one faculty and then make its way to another faculty. You never know how it’s going to manifest. You’re living with a constant uncertainty.” The disease has two main forms,

Lorraine explains. There’s Sporadic Alzheimer’s, which is the most common and occurs most often after the age of 65 – it can strike anyone at random, with or without a family history. Then there’s Familial Alzheimer’s – the form that struck Al – which is far less common and is passed from one generation to another. “Al knew that with his family history he was a sitting duck – his mother and her sisters and her brother all had it – but we’re the sort of people who just get on with life and do what you can, but don’t live in fear.” It was a shift in his capacity for recall of figures and sums and data that first alerted Lorraine that the gavel was about to fall. A builder with a remarkable aptitude for numbers and measurements, Al began quietly writing down those things he had always been able to keep in his head. “It was those little things at first, and I think he knew almost immediately. The other thing I noticed was his mood,” Lorraine recalls, adding that for a while she thought it might be a “touch of depression” thanks to a number of things going on in their lives at the time. But the decline continued and their worst fears were confirmed by a leading specialist who told Al and Lorraine his case was textbook Alzheimer’s. “We came home, sat at the kitchen table and cried for a day – we needed to do that – but then we got up, said, “Okay, we have to get on with life”, and we did.” As she talks, I notice Lorraine subconsciously stroking the top of the table at which we’re now sitting and which Al himself made. The garden and the house are full of the popular and gifted local builder’s handiwork – he’s everywhere. “He kept working and as busy as he could for as long as he could – he needed to feel valued and productive.” She recounts how, for about eight years, the condition kept a

slow burn but then, three years ago the progression of the decline began to pick up speed and by the ninth year after diagnosis, his cognitive ability was all but gone. Lorraine cared for him at home for as long as she could, with NDIS assistance which was “a Godsend” because it meant she could have carers come in to allow her to go to work. Still, the strain took an enormous toll. “I needed to keep working – for both emotional and financial reasons. He needed full time care and the carers were wonderful. But he’d wander off – he’d get out and pull the gate off the hinge and just take off and then then he’d get angry and refuse to get in the car. He’d say he wanted to go home, and he’d revert to his childhood, and ask where his parents were. That sort of thing was really hard to watch.” ••• THE desperately difficult decision to put the man she loved into full time residential care came when he could no longer recognise her. “That was really hard. When he didn’t know who I was, that was... yeah...sorry,” she says, apologising again for the crack in her voice, and there’s a sense that this is perhaps the hardest challenge, that of coming to terms with the shift in the dynamic of the relationship; of moving from being life-partners with the man she loves and who is her equal, to being his carer. Lorraine shrugs and smiles sadly. “You just do,” she says through her infectious tears. “You have to deal with it because this is the person you love. Someone has to cut their food up, someone has to help them get dressed, someone has to toilet them.” It’s the ultimate in those wedding vows – in sickness and in health. For better or worse. “Exactly. You don’t say it’s too hard. I wanted to be the one who did all that for him, as much as possible, and you do that because you want them to maintain their dignity. You do all these little things to

help keep their dignity. That was something that was really important to me.” As the conversation makes its way towards the inevitable discussion of how it felt to have to put Al into care, both Lorraine’s and my tears are flowing openly, and now it’s I who apologise for being unprofessional, only to have her comfort me as she tells of “the hardest decision of her life”. “I still feel trauma from that time. It’s because it’s the beginning of the end. You know they’re going in there and they’re never coming home. It’s awful, and was distressing for him because he didn’t want to be there. And he knew too, somewhere in his mind, that it was the beginning of the end. “The fact that it was the right decision because he it was no longer safe for him to be here at home, that doesn’t take away the emotion of it. But at some point, you have to acknowledge that you can’t cope anymore. I was exhausted, physically and emotionally. My daughter said, “Mum, I’m losing Dad – I don’t want to lose you”.” Accepting that reality and handing Al’s day to day care to professionals in many ways gave Lorraine the opportunity to return to being a wife, rather than just a carer. “I’d go and take him out and take him for drives, and we’d go and get a thickshake and just go out to the river or to Geurie – it was like having little dates.” Sadly, Covid-19 dealt a cruel blow, with lockdown keeping them apart for three months, a precious time lost during which Lorraine says everything changed again. Al deteriorated a great deal during that time because he wasn’t able to go out or interact, and she feared he would not recognise her once she was again able to visit. He did, but only just. And not always. Even as the Alzheimer’s continued to pull her husband from her grasp, Lorraine still saw glimpses of the man she married, tiny bitter-

ten sweet wisps of clarity that were at once comforting and devastating. “You just hang out for those little moments of recognition, you hang onto just those small connections. Even just a squeeze of the hand. Or a smile. Particularly in those last days as he was slipping away, after he’d lost all mobility – just seeing his reaction to us laughing was a lovely little glimmer of connection.” When Al died, the shock was immense, even though Lorraine had been arming herself with information, gaining insights and processing the anticipatory grief. “All that doesn’t take away the pain, though – I just think I’m able to talk about it because I’ve spent so long processing my emotions and what I was feeling and going through. “A lot of people aren’t able to talk about their pain in the first little while because they’re still processing it.” Lorraine stayed by her husband’s beside for the eight days before he took his last breath, “locked in”, she says, by a caring staff that recognised her need to be with Al for each of those final moments of their 34 years together. “That was wonderful of them. Because in that time, I was able to process a lot. It still doesn’t take away that pain, and neither does talking about it. It just means that I’ve processed it.” ••• IN the aftermath of her enormous loss, Lorraine is determined that telling her family’s, and Al’s story, will shine a little more light onto the disease that pushes so many of its sufferers into the shadows. “People with Alzheimer’s just

seem to fade out of the community. They just fade away. You’re part of a social group, or a network or whatever. Then suddenly you’re not. “Going out becomes a challenge – not just for the sufferer and the carer, but for other people. They don’t mean to, but they stop inviting you. They stop calling. They stop visiting,” she says, likening it to being a “watermark”. “Eventually, you’re just a suggestion of someone who used to be. You just fade away.” Lorraine knows she isn’t the first to suffer the torture of watching Alzheimer’s take away a loved one piece by piece, and neither will she be the last. She’s so eager to avoid the impression of self-indulgence or victimhood that she takes a long while to gather her thoughts enough to answer the question of what advice she’d give to those on the road at the moment, or who will come after. When she responds, it’s with the considered and insightful empathy that only one who has been there could muster: “No matter what you’re feeling it’s okay. Wanting to walk away because it just seems too hard is okay. Holding out hope day after day for just one more moment of recognition and connection is okay. Finding positives and silver linings to keep going is okay because this is real life and it is the life we are given to live. “And finally, there will be a lot of loss – of a person you love, of hopes and dreams and yes, of some parts of yourself. And that too is okay.” *Dementia Australia, 2020

RETURN TO SCHOOL

Bombshell, but don’t despair

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S Year 12 cohort faces an end to 13 years of schooling in such an atmosphere of uncertainty they can’t even be sure they’ll get to sit the HSC exams. They don’t know if they’ll have any school formals, the “rite of passage” events many students look forward to as a way to mark the end of their schooling. At the moment they can’t even call around to see their friends, and they’ve lost that social connection of being in the same classrooms and mucking around together during recess and lunch breaks. And they have no idea when the situation will improve. The state government’s plan for students to return to school was announced last Friday morning and came as a complete surprise to the Independent Education Union of Australia (NSW/ACT Branch), an organisation that represents more than 32,000 teachers and support staff in non-government schools. “This return to school has been announced by the NSW government without consultation with teachers and principals in the non-government sector. We know school staff expect the government to consult with them through their unions during this unprecedented time,” IEUA NSW/ACT Branch Secretary Mark Northam said. “We call for the NSW government to urgently establish a roundtable for the independent and Catholic sectors concerning the implementation of the return to school and employees represented by their union must be at the table.” Mr Northam said teachers and school staff need immediate clarification of how the HSC is to be

run and at this stage they have no idea if all HSC exams will still be conducted, they don’t know how those exams will be run Covid-safely or what, if any, contingency plans will be in place if Covid cases rise in a particular local government area? The IEU immediately called for an urgent roundtable with non-government school employers, NSW Health and NSW Education to unpack the complex logistics of the proposed staged return to schools. Some questions they’d like answered include how the return to school will work while ensuring the health and welfare of students is safeguarded, that is the return of Year 12 students on October 25 will require the return of about 30 per cent of a school’s teaching staff. Many of these teachers also teach students in other years. Does this mean teaching in a classroom one moment and on Zoom the next? Monash University experts have added their thoughts to the return-to-school plans Dr Vinod Balasubramaniam is based at the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences at Monash University’s Malaysia campus and believes that despite the risks from variants such as Delta, it is possible to consider the gradual re-opening of schools under covid-safe measures parallel to the national vaccine roll out. Dr Balasubramaniam’s research focus is on virology and infectious diseases, and the role the host plays in the survival of viruses. He gained his PhD working on various host cellular genes infected with avian influenza virus H5N1, and their protein-protein interactions with viral genes. “Based on the evidence and learnings gathered over the course of the pandemic, it is pos-

sible to open up schools alongside the vaccine strategy by implementing covid-safe measures including ventilation strategies,” Dr Balasubramaniam said. “Fully vaccinating teachers and education workers should be an urgent priority, with at least one dose received before schools open up. This is to reduce the risk of transmission from teachers and to better protect the children. “Although most children have mild symptoms, we know they can infect adults in their families, as well as outside the home. Some of these adults may be at high risk of serious complications from Covid-19. From what we understand so far, it seems that older children are spreading the virus more easily than younger children.” Research Fellow, Central Clinical School, Dr Michael Lydeamore said the role of vaccinations in 12 – 15-year-old students is crucial. “Although 12-15 year olds are not peak transmitters of COVID-19, there is a clear benefit to vaccinating them when supply becomes available. We know that face-to-face learning is an important part of childhood education, and vaccination will make schools able to open, and stay open,” Dr Lydeamore said. Meantime, students terrified about gaining entry to university have been reassured by NSW Vice-Chancellors’ Committee convenor, Professor Barney Glover AO, that whatever happens in these final months of the HSC school year, all is not lost. “Our message to year 12 students remains simple, do your best to complete your HSC appreciating that there are many pathways into university,” Professor Glover said. “We understand how unsettling all these changes are for you, but we are strongly encouraging you

to stay the course and complete your HSC. “Don’t get distracted or disheartened, instead, take this extra time as an opportunity to devote your energy to studying. Focus on putting all your effort into meeting the challenges that are in front of you with the promise of a well-deserved break over the holiday period.” Professor Glover sent this message of support to schools, teachers and parents: “Colleagues, we are all in this together. We are grateful for your extraordinary efforts during this time of crisis, and we commend you for going above and beyond to prepare students for their HSC assessments. To the parents of these students, feel assured that the universities have programs to support year 12 students as they transition into university life.” Professor Glover said the new changes will not unduly impact the university sector. “We will work through them and adjust our admissions processes (including those through UAC) as needed. “We wish all year 12 students every success with their HSC assessments in 2021.” Charles Sturt University Interim Vice-Chancellor and President Professor John Germov said universities will work with Year 12 students and their families. “Changes to the scheduling of HSC exams will no doubt be unsettling, but I encourage students to tap into the resilience that has helped them through the last 18 months to complete their exams to the best of their abilities,” Prof Germov said. “That resilience is just as important as their exam results in helping to open the door to a university course. There are many pathways into University and Charles Sturt

is ready to support students during this challenging time.” University of Newcastle Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Alex Zelinsky AO said regional universities across the state are ready to play an important role in supporting schools and communities through this very different HSC year. “Like many regional institutions, the University of Newcastle has worked closely with school communities over the last 18 months to develop programs, resources and pathways to support HSC students,” Prof Zelinsky said. “We’re proud of the students, teachers and their families in our communities for their resilience and determination over this period of disruption. “There are many ways for students to get into university, and we’re glad we have been able to play a part in their preparation for HSC exams. We encourage all students to continue with their HSC and to keep going at this important time.” University of New South Wales President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Jacobs said academics well understand the unique challenges faced by the 2021 HSC cohort. “Year 12 students in NSW have shown enormous character and perseverance,” he said. “UNSW understands the hurdles you are facing, and we will work with you to help you realise your higher education ambitions. We encourage you to continue your studies confident in the knowledge that opportunities will be available at UNSW as usual. Your knowledge and skills will be greatly needed in the years to come.”

Student Wellbeing the top priority DUBBO College Senior Campus has a huge cohort of Year 12 students and staff say they’ve placed student wellbeing at the top of the 2021 priority list. Senior Campus teacher Kate Damen says the importance of wellbeing has always been held in high regard at Dubbo College, and in the current environment, it is now more important than ever. She says there’s a strong focus on the wellbeing of students with the current focus being to ensure all students and their families are staying well and are best supported for athome learning. That includes support for the new world of remote learning including via Zoom, Google Classrooms and physical work booklets depending upon each student’s individual situation, all while ensuring student connection channels remain open.

Mrs Damen told Dubbo Photo News “engagement from our senior students has been pleasingly consistent”. “Our focus is on ensuring students are safe and well and we are continuing to strive for the goals our senior students set for themselves earlier in the year.” The Senior Campus prides itself on holding an array of engaging activities and challenges for its students to maintain attendance levels and motivation, staging awards for a remote learner of the week for both Year 11 and 12 as well as holding remote crazy hair days and baking challenges and interacting with their student body via social media platforms.

School work during lockdown By TOM BROWN, DUBBO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL CAPTAIN IT was a little disappointing and unfortunate to go into lockdown, especially after completing my trial HSC exams. I was hoping to celebrate completing the exams and enjoy the last few weeks of school with my mates and teachers before we graduated. However, the online work has been good and catching up with teachers and mates over online meetings has been good too. Everyone seems to be happy with the work teachers are giving them and it looks like they’re handling the lockdown fine. It’s a little annoying and lonely being confined to a desk and computer screen at home when By JENNIFER CORDEROY, DUBBO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL CAPTAIN FINISHING our HSC in lockdown has been far from ideal and has posed a new learning challenge where we should all be deep into our study habits. Nonetheless, we are all grateful for the technology we have available to remain in contact with our teachers and an excess of resources. Other than keeping up to date with set work and study, we are concerned by the uncertainty of when, where and how we

we are so used to sharing desks with our friends at school. But receiving work over the internet makes it a lot easier to manage. It gives us the opportunity to focus on the harder subjects earlier and leave the easier subjects for later. The lockdown has made me realise the importance of keeping in contact with my mates and the importance of regular exercise. I know for sure that mental health amongst the Year 12s is a super important thing to look after. So going outside once a day or catching up with mates over the phone to see how they’re going is helpful to get through the lockdown. These kinds of things give us a big boost to keep on track with will sit our final exams, as well as how our 13 years of schooling will be commemorated. While we are a proud Class of 2021, Covid has brought quite the anti-climax. We are all grateful to and pray for those who have the difficult task of deciding how the HSC will run under the circumstances. We also pray for the safety and unity of our community as we all work to return to normalcy, or at least something close to, that the Class of 2021 might have the high school finale we have dreamt of.

2022 St Johns College Dubbo Captains – Tom Gray and Grace Jasprizza What sort of difficulty are Year 12 students experiencing during lockdown? TOM GRAY z It's hard to focus and complete coursework because everything is online. z We miss face to face. z We miss our teachers and being on site. z It creates a strain on mental health because we are missing out on things and missing our friends, it is just a totally different scenario. z It is totally different to last year because of the timing. It’s making it harder to revise and I fear will affect our HSC. GRACE JASPRIZZA z My biggest difficulty is motivation. z My balance in life has been disrupted, home can be distracting. z I miss my social time with my friends. z It is hard to find a routine at home. z (Maintaining) mental health is overwhelming at times. z Seeing things on social media has been really difficult particularly with all the HSC talk and the uncertainty. z We are missing out on all the social events and celebrations like 18th birthdays which makes us miss our friends as well. Tell us about the disruption to study in your final year: TOM GRAY z It’s easier to find a distraction and procrastinate. z I go to the kitchen to find inspiration and get distracted. z It’s hard to know what skills to focus on. z Sometimes in Zooms things get lost in translation and it can be hard to determine what the feedback tells us to do. GRACE JASPRIZZA z I hate Zooms. z The loss of a set timetable means that I find it hard to complete the work I need to do. z Online learning via Zooms is real-

ly draining. What about the social aspects Year 12 students are missing out on during their final years at school? TOM GRAY z We are missing out on all the signpost events like farewell assemblies, and other special planned events that celebrate the end of school and the transition to the HSC exams. z Zoom isn’t going to cut it as a replacement for our graduation Mass, graduation assemblies and so on. z It is kind of heart breaking that we are missing out on all of these milestones. GRACE JASPRIZZA z Our 18th birthdays are our biggest milestones – celebrating with our mates is being taken away from us and it is really disheartening. z (We’re missing) the end of year rituals and traditions that provide us with joy and celebration of the 13 years of schooling. z A formal over a screen is not ideal or what we want – this is not normal and we are missing out. What has been a positive that has come out of remote learning? TOM GRAY z Students have been reaching out asking people to contact and connect. z I am really proud of our community for doing this. z We are loving the posts, social media and so on. z There is a lot more empathy and support this year. GRACE JASPRIZZA z More people are reaching out. z Snapchat is our main comms, but I am now getting phone calls and having “normal conversations” with my mates. z Teachers are in the exact same boat and the teachers are staying positive and it will be okay and they will be there for us. z Teacher support has been amazing and really helpful.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Play safe in Victoria Park’s new play space The Editor, Please be aware of safety issues with the proposed new play space in Victoria Park. I am referring to the much-loved Livvi’s play space, which Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has announced it is strategically relocating alongside the Dubbo Aquatic Leisure Centre Pool Deck Kiosk. Council’s reason for the relocation is to allow parents and carers to enjoy some refreshments while actively supervising their children. I fondly remember as a child, the play space that was originally located beside the pool and have been a witness to the evolution of Victoria Park throughout the years. While enthusiastic about the upgraded play equipment and relocation of the play space, I am seriously concerned that DRC will not be enclosing it with a fence. The security fence surrounding the existing Livvi’s play space is one of its best features. It is safer for small children. It also is a deterrent for push bik-

ers to ride amongst the play equipment. The fence gives parents with children who have special needs reassurance that they will not wander further away than the fence. The fencing would also mean that it could be locked at night, deterring those who may damage equipment. Also missing from Livvi’s new play space are the disability-access swings which is another feature that makes the old play space spectacular and What about kids on wheelchairs? Have they been considered? Like a roundabout that all children with or without disabilities can use. Every child deserves play. I am a mum of three children, and it’s a park where we’ve spent many play dates and picnics over the years. The play space is safe and secure. I cannot understand why a fence is not included in the new park’s planning; it’s just common sense. It makes you wonder if DRC consulted the community, mums’

I have reached out to Mayor Lawrence, and I hope he and the other councillors will second a motion to include a fence to Livvi’s play space, and in future remember to include the voices of the Dubbo community they represent. Our people and community should be at the centre of everything our Local Government does. Tatum Moore, DRC candidate, Dubbo

Has council reduced water flows to residents? The Editor, I have a question for Council: are Dubbo residents receiving reduced flows from the city’s reservoirs? There was talk around town during the height of the drought that council had reduced flows through the outlet valves on the reservoirs to prevent people flouting the restrictions. It appears that measure remains in place now, as the flow rate through my meter in South Dubbo is significantly reduced from what it was pre-drought. I base my assertion on the affect the current flow rate is having on my (manually controlled) garden watering system.

Pre-drought, I had to calibrate the flow through each zone in the irrigation system, that is, I had to install gate valves in the lines, because the mains pressure was so strong. Now, post-drought, with the dam full, I’m wondering why, with the main line fully open from the new smart meter and all gate valves fully open, the flow rate is not enough to fully charge the spray heads. Translated, that means I’m only getting a trickle out of the spray heads that used to blast water everywhere. I don’t understand why Council wants to play God with our water. The dam is full, there’s miles of it; there should be no restrictions. Steve Hodder, Dubbo

Life-saving, or money-making in Australia 2021? James Newton ❚ OPINION THE world over the last 18 months has been testing to say the least. Doesn’t matter the country or in Australia’s case our states, politicians on all sides of politics have made good decisions and bad dealing with the unknown monster that is Covid-19. The one common theme especially here in Australia is to spend money and deal with the consequences of that spending later – it’s all about saving lives or whatever rhetoric or propaganda some bureaucrats have come up with. I’m not here to complain or debate what is being done in the present but rather what would modern Australia be if we hadn’t of had decades of both sides of politics only thinking of the short term and cost cutting rather than the greater good and growing our country even if there is expense in the short term. Once upon a time there was a willingness of politicians in this country to advance Australia and while money was always an issue, it wasn’t the be-all and end-all and

things did happen. Have a look at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was opened in 1932 after almost nine years of building it and the associated road infrastructure but wasn’t until 1988 that it was paid for. When the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened it was decades before it was at full capacity and there is a story that Bradfield’s original design even allowed for a second roadway to be added underneath the current roadway should demand increase – imagine a modern government having that level of foresight. Have a look at our Covid testing regime in NSW. It’s currently well north of one hundred thousand tests per day and heading towards fifteen million since the start of the crisis. Now whilst this might be a necessary evil to get on top of this crisis it’s worth doing the maths on the cost. A quick Google search will bring up various numbers on the cost of the tests ranging from around $80 to $200. With the total number of tests at 14,807,237 undertaken to 8pm on September 11 (NSW Health website), even at the conservative cost of $50 per test (allowing for inflation in google figures) that comes in at $740,361,850.

– where is the plan to spend more so they can cope. Over the years we’ve seen successive governments on both sides of politics cut funding into smaller regional towns. Be it shutting down the old DMR (predecessor of the RTA) sites in towns like Wilcannia, Cobar, Nyngan, etc, shutting down the railway crews in a town like Ivanhoe – those 30, 40 or 50 plus jobs lost is the start of the death of a town, all to save money. Once those workers and their families leave it makes it harder for everybody else: that’s less kids at the school, less groceries to be bought from the supermarket, less beers sold at the pub. House prices drop, people lose confidence and move on even if they still have employment. How would this crisis have been if instead of more and more people ` living in more built up areas they Maybe if our politicians were spread out across lots of vibrant independent regional towns. were willing to spend Maybe if our politicians were untapped resources willing to spend untapped resourcwe could have seen es we could have seen investment investment in developing in developing more industries in more industries in our our regional towns instead of the regional towns instead old joke about NSW stands for of the old joke about NSW Newcastle/Sydney/Wollongong. In fairness, I suppose there has stands for Newcastle/ Sydney/Wollongong... a been a push to develop these Evocities but that is still at the cost of all If we allow for government overspending and mismanagement and say it is $200 per test that equates to a grand total of $2,961,447,400. Yes, that is almost three billion dollars. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be doing tests but if for argument’s sake that money had been getting spent every year on new hospitals and training new medical staff would that mean coming into this crisis our hospital system could handle an influx of patients from a pandemic/endemic. Throughout this crisis our politicians and bureaucrats keep saying the hospital system won’t cope

the other little towns. When you through the history books once upon a time all sides of politics were intent on developing industries to grow towns be it mining, logging, timber mills, developing virgin bush into farmland and at the same time land was surveyed and split up to form towns. Then along came the bean counters. My wish is that one political leader from any side will come out and say this is our plan to move forward, this is how we are going to cut down on bureaucracy, this is our plan to cut down on rules and regulations, this is how we are going to remove the extra powers that have been given to the police, this is what we are going to do to help all the small businesses that were unable to trade through the crisis when large businesses could, this is our plan to rebuild our economy. I think that’s wishful thinking. Instead it seems to be that if everyone is on best behaviour, we might get some freedoms back. And oh, by the way, we all have to pay this debt back. Stay safe let’s hope this crap is all over soon. z James Newton lives in Narromine and works as a truck driver.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Life goes on behind the big zoo gates Steve Hinks

Taronga Western Plains Zoo Director ❚ COMMENT

WHILE Taronga Western Plains Zoo remains temporarily closed, I’m pleased to report that life behind the big zoo gates continues. After spending a couple of weeks in isolation with my family, I was finally able to visit the zoo and meet with some of our frontline staff last week. While we are closed, we have an essential workforce onsite every day, caring for the animals, maintaining and improving the site and delivering services. We also have team members working from home, many of whom are also juggling childcare and remote learning, as so many others are doing in our community right now. While we are all disconnected physically, the team is keeping in regular contact with meetings (conducted via video of course), internal communications via phone calls and messages. It’s not always easy, but I am very committed to ensuring everyone feels supported, has access to accurate information and feels able to approach either myself or any of our management team to talk about any challenges they are facing. Our expert keeping, veterinary and animal nutrition teams are onsite each and every day to ensure the welfare and safety of the animals. As we all know, spring is the season for births and the team is preparing to welcome some new arrivals in the coming weeks. Our important conservation endeavours have not stopped and there have been some major developments with a couple of key programs. I look forward to sharing more about this in the near future. The Wildlife Hospital continues to operate with the team caring for not only the zoo’s collection, but also native wildlife cases. While the zoo is shut, work is progressing on the construction

of the new Wildlife Hospital, and I also look forward to providing an update on this development soon. Another team still hard at work at the zoo is the grounds and maintenance team. They are, as always, focussed on ensuring the site presentation is at its very best – and I can certainly say it is, having benefited from regular rainfall this year as has much of our region. The team is working on soil and lawn improvement, including resting animal paddocks and making the most of being able to carry out maintenance, painting and repairs while there are no visitors. I’m confident the place will look amazing when we are able to reopen.

been working hard to provide three meals per day (including safe drop off) to those staying in the NSW Health Savannah Cabins medi-hotel. Additionally, they have been opening the café for our frontline staff and offering “chef at home” takeaway orders for staff to purchase. I must say these have been a welcome addition to my household each week! ` We’re trying very hard to keep I know it’s a really tough connected with our community time for our community. during the lockdown, delivering I also know that our daily news and animal antics via community is tough and our social media channels.

I also know that our community is tough and we will get through this together. We’ve been through challenging times before and I believe we can and will bounce back. I’m hopeful tourism will once again be a driving force in assisting the region’s recovery. Until the Zoo reopens, you can rest assured that the team will be there, continuing to care for the amazing animals and our beautiful part of Dubbo, so that it is ready for you to visit when it is safe to do so.

By DARYL GREEN WHAT a time we have all been having with Covid-19 which has really cut into our time doing the things we like best. The activities of Rivercare volunteers have been severely restricted over the last few months, as we work within council policies around the pandemic. We have managed a few working bees, but our program has largely been on hold. However, we are very pleased with the planting and mulching we have managed to fit in – thanks to Arbortec Tree Service for the huge amounts of donated mulch we have been able

to spread on new and existing plants. To add to the many favourite River Red Gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) already along the river, we have increased the number of local native shrubs planted along our riverbank and the results are a stand-out. A stroll along the river paths near the Tamworth Street Bridge, Regand Park and the less explored parkland adjoining Golf Links Creek will reveal many plantings just about to burst into their post-winter glory: keep a special eye out for local natives such as the Western Golden Wattle (Acacia decora) and

Dog Tooth Wattle (Acacia cultriformis) and Blackthorn (Bursaria spinosa). Note the many birds and nests already waiting to protect the newest generation as the season warms. Just as important, of course, are the plants that are no longer there: we Rivercarers have a fine eye for a nasty weed and consider it part of our mission to pounce on those intruders which have sadly miscalculated their welcome. Removal of these competitive intruders and some judicious whipper-snipping has given many existing riverside plants the breathing space and sunlight necessary to produce the glorious

colour we will see in the coming months – the wattles are well advanced already and made a great showing on the first of September, which was Wattle Day. A Rivercare stalwart advises us: “Give yourself a treat by walking or cycling along our river paths/ Tracker Riley Cycleway and walkways. It is a perfect time to check out the recent plantings and majestic River Red Gums that line the Macquarie River. “Consider joining the Rivercare volunteers so that we can maintain and add to what our group has achieved in the past 19 years along these precious riverbank areas of Dubbo’s public land.”

Mining groceries for community IN her role as president of St Brigid’s Conference, Rhonda Gleeson recently presented a certificate of appreciation to Jim Mondague, general manager of Mining Camps Australia, for its generous donation of $1000 worth of groceries. The items, purchased from Henry and Denise Jom at IGA West Dubbo, were generously discounted from a retail value of $1760, for which Mrs Gleeson thanked the Joms. Mrs Gleeson acknowledged that this is an extremely difficult time for many

people and families and said Vinnies members – at all times complying with Covid-19 health orders – have distributed more than 30 large food parcels since the Dubbo lock down commenced. Families who are experiencing difficulties regarding food are urged to phone the Vinnies Care and Support Centre number on 1800 047 100 and leave a message. A Vinnies member will contact the caller and a phone interview will be conducted so arrangements can be made for home delivery of the food parcel.

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.

ripe, the Persian lime is not commonly found in markets, as it gets confused for lemons, but is used for most commercial purposes. z Hungarian composer Franz Liszt received so many requests for locks of his hair that he bought a dog and sent fur clippings instead. z The Bible is the most commonly stolen book in the world. z Pill bugs, also known as roly-polys, are not insects but rather crustaceans. They breathe through gills and are more closely related to shrimp and lobsters than other bugs. z The moon is not round, but shaped like an egg. z Brunettes are more likely than anyone else to become hooked on nicotine. The high levels of the pigment melanin in their hair also make it difficult for the liver to metabolise the nicotine, keeping it in the system longer and making it easier to become addicted.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

z For a little extra visibility in the basement or other dark areas, try applying glow-in-thedark or reﬂective tape on the edges of stairs. z This tip will change your life when peeling eggs: After you have hard-boiled your eggs, drain and submerge in ice water. Put them back in the pot, put the lid on and shake. Shake in all directions for up to a minute. The eggs practically slip right out of their shells. Just rinse and prep. – JoAnn D. z “To distinguish your keys, especially house keys that have similar stamps, simply paint the key head with different colours of nail polish. You could even add a very subtle dot of the matching polish on the key lock. Reapply as needed.” – S.L.

z If you keep birds, here’s a reminder: Never preheat pans on high heat – especially nonstick pans. They can let off a chemical that you or I cannot detect but can be a health hazard if your bird friend is in the kitchen area. Don’t keep birds in the kitchen when cooking. z “To mark the end on a roll of tape, save your bread tabs. Stick one on the tape end and it will be ready and easy to start the next time. If it’s a thick tape, you can use two clips – one at either side of the tape. This way, it won’t split on you.” – M.E. z Use a ﬂat iron to iron your collar if it’s rumpled. This also works to straighten out buttonholes that have crimped.

...inspiring locals!

Dennis cements Cox name in Country Cricket By GEOFF MANN

MENTION cricket in the Western Zone and the name Cox springs to mind. Dennis Cox, the elder of the family, was born into a cricketing family at Coalbaggie and he and wife Judy have seen all their children develop through school matches at Drinane Public, Dubbo Central and Dubbo High. Dennis’s passion for playing, coaching, mentoring and growing the sport was recognised recently when he was made a Life Member of the NSW Country Cricket Association. The rangy all-rounder who excelled at tennis and rugby league at school and then was a key member of the Dubbo Kangaroos forward pack that won their

first Central West Rugby Union premiership in 1975 was the driving force behind two local cricket club amalgamations. After playing with Dubbo High and then Paramount in Dubbo grade, Coxy was a key driver in bringing the two clubs togethers as Colts United in 1977 and then twenty years later, the development of a relationship with Dubbo’s largest recreation club to form RSL Colts. Dennis’ vision, commitment to expanding opportunities for country players and the determination to see it through has seen many huge developments in his 50 plus years in administration. Dubbo cricket has undergone many iterations during his lifetime. The Dawson Cup Sunday com-

petition which brought together bushies and townies on Sundays has gone but on Saturday afternoons the unbelievable number of turf and high-quality synthetic pitches are filled with cricketers of all ages. Night cricket is now in its 40th season, state of the art nets are located around the city, an enthusiastic and self-driven Cricket NSW team is ensconced at Barden Park and the No 1 Oval upgrade should ensure many higher level representative fixtures will return to our city, vis-a-vis the English in 62/63, West Indies in ‘75 and Zimbabwe in 1996. Most pleasingly, Dennis has seen girls and womens cricket become an integral part of the Australian sporting heritage. When he was a young bloke the girls

played at home with the boys on the farm, joined together for tennis and cheered the males on the footy field. These days, dads drive their daughters to the Lady Cutler Ovals for skills training and all over the state to compete in prestigious tournaments. Dennis, wife Judy and sons Tim and Brad are as much a part of Dubbo cricket as Victoria Park. Together they have worked for the game, debated cricket over the dinner table and around bars and at after-match social functions. The family has watched and listened as Dennis has seen his dreams become realities and they now revel in the honour that has so richly been bestowed upon him. Coxy you legend!

Sporting Hub of the west! By GEOFF MANN NEARLY four years ago plans were released for a complex in North Dubbo that would attract budding champions, sports’ lovers and major sporting groups to the welcoming western plains. The ambitious concept drawings for the multi-purpose facility have now been converted into a Development Application that will see land adjacent to Charles Sturt University and within walking distance of the ever-expanding medical care and training centres and Dubbo College. Stage 1 plans have been submitted to Dubbo Regional Council involving the construction of a $25.3 million Police Citizens Youth Club and Multi Indoor Sport Facility featuring a combination

of basketball, gymnastics, indoor hockey, netball, futsal and volleyball courts. These facilities will provide an all-weather venue for sporting participants at all levels. The exciting next stage of the development that has already seen a magnificent Cycling facility with a national championships

approved race and omnium track and much-needed amenities has created a huge buzz of excitement, especially within the basketball community. Our photos today show the recent reawakening of the sport in the city; this superb new centre will build on that momentum. PCYCCSU, Dubbo Regional

Council and the NSW and Australian governments have been working together to bring this vision to a reality. Local Member Dugald Saunders says it builds on a vision begun by his predecessor Troy Grant. “It's fantastic to see the project gathering momentum. I look forward to the hundreds of local con-

struction jobs and the boost to ou local community this project wil provide.” Another win-win for Dubbo and western NSW that comes on top of pictures in last week’s Dubbo Photo News showcasing new facil ities and ground preparations fo the upcoming cricket and summe soccer seasons.

Local Basketball U14 Boys 2021 season wrap up and awards Contributed By CLAIRE HARGREAVES

AS is typical in the current climate the U14 Boys have held the presentation via Zoom this year and it was great to see everybody. The boys did a tremendous job this season. 7/10 are bottom age and for the three top age boys it was their first full year of rep basketball. We didn’t get a start at WJL finals but we did challenge all the teams that were there. Highlights of the year for me were a great round 3 of WJL in Orange when everything clicked and we had a tough one point loss to Leeton Green but we dusted off the disappointment to have an incredible final game of the season, knocking off Griffith and knocking them out of the finals and helping our neighbours, Gilgandra, sneak in. That win was the perfect reward for a lot of training and effort. It’s worth also mentioning Country Champs. We nominated into Div 2 to use the tournament for experience and development and boy did we get some when Canberra belted us game one! But the boys rallied and competed well in every game and got a win over Maitland. Was a very successful weekend and great way to round out the season. I can’t write a summary without some thank-yous. To Claire By-

non, our assistant coach and Jane Bowen, our manager – how lucky I was to have two very strong and capable women in my corner! Made my job that much easier. Thank you both so much. Thank you also to all of the parents – every one of you made the weekends away so much fun, everyone chipped in with bench duties and to pick up a bag, or a water bottle, or sock here and there, thank you for entrusting me with your boys, I loved it. Thanks finally to Emma for allowing me to spend just a little extra time out of the home and in sport and great work on the camera too. It can’t be a presentation without some awards so here they are below. I’ve given five here below as asked to do, but that’s not to say the other five don’t deserve recognition also. Sam, Jasper, Izak, Matt and Archie thanks for the year – you boys all killed it, was a pleasure to get a front row seat and watch it unfold! Most Improved – Hamish Larsen Playing in his first full season of rep basketball big Hamo has gone from strength to strength. Initially picking up a foul a minute (if you ask him it was the refs fault!) and being unsure of where to be and what to do. But during the season and definitely by the end was often the go to for our offence, his outstanding re-

bounding allowed us to continue to compete, and how about that drop-step from the low post! Well done mate, I thoroughly enjoyed coaching you. Coaches Award – Karol Villaneuva Another one playing his first year of rep basketball, Karol gradually came out of his shell more and more as the season went on. A fantastic young bloke to have around, extremely positive, well-mannered and sneaky funny, so very coachable. Throughout the season he sometimes found himself on the bench for extended periods as I played with rotations (which he never once complained about) but then when I needed him to step up to starter he made it all but im-

possible for me to take it back off him. Love those dimes from the top of the key. Pleasure having you onboard Karol. Defensive Player Award – Cooper O’Neill This year for Cooper it seemed that defence just clicked. That Year 6 geometry is working a treat because he finally got those arms STRAIGHT U! And what a great job he did. For a tall fella he moves nicely across the floor in stance but when he needed to play big and tall this year he did it extremely well. Really challenged some of the giants we came up against. Managed to keep out of foul trouble and was a pillar for us at that end of the court. Top

U16 Girls wrap up and awards

FIRSTLY thanks parents and Dubbo Basketball Association (DBA) for the season. The support always, the travelling throughout also all the bench duties and whatever else came up (Monique a couple of attempts at statistician) great group of parents make it much easier over the year. It was a great way to finish the season with a win at country champs I couldn’t of been any happier for them winning this tournament. They should be very proud of themselves and their efforts then and throughout. Country encouragement award – Those that were there would agree this was definitely her best weekend for the season effort all the time, came up with plays when we needed them, very encouraging to all her team all weekend was also awarded MVP in the final – well done Amber Hill. Defensive Player – goes to a player who is known to score points and shoot well which she still did but her defence has improved out of sight particularly at country with the way she played caused many stops/turnovers/ fumbles due to her pressure, second efforts and help defence – well done Tilly Wilson.

Emily Winterton Emily was part of the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS) development squad and received the Coaches Award, a great achievement. Emily was a member of the WRAS u16 girl Coastal Classic team which came runners up. She is a member of Yr 7/8 St Johns College basketball team that won the Bathurst Diocese Basketball Competition. A valued member of the U16 Girls Dubbo Rep team, Emily was awarded 2021 MVP for her team. Division 3 U16 girls Winners Country Tournament. Emily is a wonderful develop-

Most Improved – goes to a player who has worked really hard on all parts of her game, shooting, ball handling and defence – this has led to her becoming a huge part of the team playing in all positions not just over a season or weekend but could play all positions within one game and do a great job playing all of them. Well done Issy Sinclair (sad to see you leave us for boarding school but enjoy the new adventure). Coaches award – goes to a player who was great to have at training and in games was always smiling and laughing so a great teammate, always giving 110 per

cent and continually tried and asked how to get better. For someone to regularly get 20 – 30 rebounds a game is always putting in a big effort with a great attitude – well done Abby Osborne. MVP – we got nominations off different parents and spectators after each game for this one so another thing to thanks to all as everyone was happy to help out here. It went to a player who top point scored for the team at western junior league and also at country and when she was on the court did a great job of playing her position and managing the play well – well done Emily Winterton.

stuff Coop, thanks for a great year mate. Country Champs Award – Callum Bowen For me, being a country basketballer is all about heart – respecting yourself and the game, your opposition and giving it your all, all of the time. This is Cal to a tee. All season long he had those attributes but he shone especially brightly at Country this year – in Div 2 for a largely bottom age side, the team was up against it from the outset but he led from the front and lifted the boys with his words and his actions. Great year Cal and especially great June long weekend, incredible energy. MVP – Cohen Weir An extremely solid year from Cohen, running the point and often picking up the ‘gun’ on the opposition in defence. You often had to step back and remind yourself that he was bottom age because it never looked like it. I was particularly impressed this year Cohen with your composure, picking when to go and when to pass and finding that confidence to back yourself and your skills. The hours and hours of practice and dedication to the game definitely shows and you’re liked and admired by all of your teammates. Brilliant year mate, thanks for all your hard work.

U12 Boys Season Wrap and Awards Contributed by SEAN BOWEN, COACH

FIRST of all, thanks to Dubbo Basketball Association for the smooth running of a rough Covid-interrupted season. Thanks to all the parents of the boys, it's a big commitment personally and financially from the families for your child to be involved in representative basketball. Thank you for running the bench when asked. I was fortunate enough to coach this fantastic group of boys, nearly all in their first year of rep basketball. They were all committed to training hard, learning, and playing the game in the right spirit. So congratulations boys on your first season, your parents are proud of all of you. Big thanks to Kimberley Jay Forrester (WJL) and Carolyn Simmonds (Country) for managing the team. Thanks for providing the extra motivation and coaching advice, sorry for the litany of swear words that you might have overheard on the bench! The boys all appreciated their surrogate mothers on the bench! Big thanks to Chrystal O’Brien for being our team referee. We acknowledge the extra time you put in, with games before and after our games, which at times took up a lot of your own personal time. We appreciate your time and commitment to the Rams. Big thanks to Chrystal O’Brien, Ty Forrester and Bucky Weir for

filling in at training when I was stuck at work. To the boys, we had a great first year in the WJL, runners up to Leeton. Losing the grand final by one point is massive considering the same team beat us by 30 in the rounds. It shows incredible improvement, teamwork and drive by you to nearly overcome the obstacles and win. I am very proud of your efforts! Country Tournament came and with a reduced roster, we still managed to hold our own, losing in the semi final. Overall, a ripper of a season with a wonderful bunch of kids.

AWARDS Country Encouragement Award – Mason Weir Mason developed into a fanstastic all-round player over the year. In WJL, you were the 6th man off the bench who gave us a massive spark when we needed it most. But come the Country Tournament, you stood up as a starting point guard and took responsibility for your team and led the way with some amazing performances. Scoring strongly and defending stronger players when asked. Mason, your hard work off the court in your own time and at training is paying off, big things will come your way. Great work. ••• Most Improved Player – Rusty Simmonds Essentially new to basketball this

year, Rusty gave 100 per cent attention to the game. Working hard on your dribbling and passing throughout the year, you gained confidence in your game play. Phenomenal improvement from when we first started training. Keep up the good work and focus on building on your skills! Extra work on jumping, rebounding and shooting will see you further improve. A great first season of rep Rusty! ••• Best Defensive Player – Xavier Bowen Being the tallest kid on the team, left Xavier playing mostly center, which left you guarding the tallest player on the other team. Sometimes head and shoulders taller than you. Never once did you back down or let them get the better of you. You held your own and provided great help defence in the middle for your teammates. You were a strong scoring and rebounding presence inside all year and always did what your coach asked of you. Your game against Narrandera in the semi-final of WJL was testament of your efforts. Keep up the hard work in the backyard and at training. Remember to be strong! ••• Pass First Award – Will Taylor First year of rep basketball and Will was outstanding. Your ability is only doubted by yourself. You can play beautiful basketball. This award is given to Will as he makes his teammates look good! Out-

standing passing all year. Being an excellent passer can often be overlooked for the flashy scoring, but it was hard to ignore your contribution to the team. Your teammates should be thankful. Keep working hard Will and the rewards will come. ••• Coaches Award – Mataeo Thompson Mataeo, a fantastic year of rep basketball. Your tenacious defence, desperation for the loose ball by putting your body on the line is second to none. You have this innate ability to get the rebound against much taller opposition, keep practicing boxing out and this will only get better. I have given you the coaches award due to your commitment and support of your teammates. I heard your voice all season and at training being positive towards all players, first to high five and pick others up. You are always thankful for the time and effort I have put into coaching. You are 100 per cent a team man and a dead-set pleasure to coach. ••• MVP Award – Ziaire Forrester Zi, personally I have watched you in the U12’s for the previous two seasons, waiting for your turn to shine and boy, you did that when you had your opportunity this year. Congratulations on a strong season, leading from the front

and most of all from a coaching point of view, congratulations on changing the way your responded to your teammates. You took some criticism at the start of the season, you listened and took it on board and bounced back phenomenally. You are a great all-round player, strong scorer and defender. You are a great team player who can have a great impact on your teammates around you. Continue to work on your skills and you’ll continue to grow into a great player. Congratulations on an MVP year. Special mention to Archie O’Neill, Harry Mongan, and Robbie Hargraves for their contribution to the team this year. You all came committed to training hard, keen to learn and you all played the game in the right spirit. Thanks for a great season, stay safe during these crazy times, hopefully we can all be back on the court sooner rather than later. Keep practicing and learning.
