CALL TO ARMS By JOHN RYAN JOHN CARPENTER has operated farm machinery for decades and he’s thinking of coming out of retirement in the next few months to have another crack. The former agricultural manager spent 25 to 30 years wrangling the harvest contractors at Jemalong Station near Forbes, and on some of the company properties he’d have 16 or 18 headers running at once. “The agricultural company I worked for was the fourth biggest landholder in Australia at the time. It had about a million acres and I used to travel around to those properties a bit, usually running the harvest with the headers and the trucks,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “You can imagine with that many headers there’s a multitude of trucks carting to the silos. We’d have probably 20 trucks at one time coming into just one property. “The headers now are pulling off many tonnes each hour and when you’ve got a lot of headers running together, that’s a lot of grain to move. The headers like to keep going as long as they can, during the night if they can.” Continued page 2

DRIVE-IN SITE SALE SIGNALS SAD END By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S Westview Drive-In is apparently under contract and the sale will mean the end of the outdoor theatre which has seen more than 30,000 visitors through the gates since it reopened. That’s three times as many people as the recent NRL game brought to town. The venue had also clinched

some events for the city, with the promise of relevant movies being screened enough to tip the scales and bring those visitors to Dubbo rather than competing centres. Drive-in operator Jason Yelverton told Dubbo Photo News it’s a sad time for what’s become an iconic local attraction. “There’s a textbook on how to close drive-ins – there’ll only be

two left in NSW when Westview shuts – but there’s no textbook on how to open one. “The really great thing about the drive-in is that it appeals to all ages and demographics. We’ve had families here from great grandparents down to the smallest kids and they’ve all enjoyed the experience so much.” Continued page 3

More Covid cases, 55pc fully vaxed

THE latest Covid-19 figures before Dubbo Photo News went to print this week saw nine new locally acquired cases in the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD), three from the Far West LHD, and 20 cases yet to be assigned to an LHD in the 24 hours to 8pm on Tuesday, September 21. NSW Health’s ongoing sewage surveillance program has detected fragments of the virus that causes Covid-19 in sewage samples from Oberon. This comes as health authorities call for locals to ensure they turn up to get their second jab, with rates of first vaccinations in the Dubbo Local Government Area, which includes Wellington, sitting at 85 per cent of those eligible, while second jabs were around 55 per cent. Deaths in Dubbo last week hit the community hard – three of NSW’s victims were residents living in aged care facilities in Dubbo. According to NSW Health, a woman in her 80s died at the Holy Spirit aged care facility. She was fully vaccinated and is the first death linked to an outbreak at this facility. A woman in her 90s, who was fully vaccinated, and a man in his 80s, who was partially vaccinated, died at St Mary’s Villa aged care facility in Dubbo. There have now been three deaths associated with an outbreak at this facility.

Hopes up for harvest helpers Continued from page 1

But while the headers and trucks are bigger these days, Mr Carpenter says the harvest operation still needs an army of people working on the ground to get the national crop off and into storage. He’s joining the shout-out to any and all grey nomads who are fit, and have some spare time, to sign up for a harvest adventure, with plenty of jobs available where you can get training on the job. “You meet a lot of great people. It’s long hours but it’s not physical work. You’re generally sitting in a machine and it’s quite enjoyable when you’re in the right crew. I’ve done that many times,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for grey nomads – a lot of farmers who (would allow them to) park their caravans at a powered site so accommodation wouldn’t cost them anything.” He says the loss of backpacker labour because of the global Covid-19 travel restrictions has bitten deep into the national ability to take off the crop with the loss of such a regular and reliable labour pool of backpackers, many of whom had been brought up on family farms in other countries, creating a major worker shortfall. “We really relied on the backpackers during harvest and they’d be with us on our program

for eight to 10 weeks, depending on if we had hold-ups with rain and then they’d move on to later crops,” Mr Carpenter said. “A lot of people travel around with the harvest – before Covid came we used to get young men from South Africa coming over to drive the chaser bins and just working around the crew during harvest.” He’s recommending that, for anyone who’s able, now is the time to have a harvest adventure when it’s so much easier to get a job without that overseas competition. He says while there’s plenty of pressure when the harvest is on, and lots of adrenaline flowing, there’s also something incredibly satisfying about stripping grain off the paddocks and carting it to the silos. “There’s nothing like it,” he says, reminiscing about the old days when the comfort level for workers wasn’t a factor. “When I first started there were no air-conditioners in the cabins but now the operators just sit back in their cabs with the radios going and their CBs or UHFs and cruise around and talk to the other guys on the radio.” John Carpenter is looking forward to the 2021 harvest and with a massive labour shortage looming because of global travel restrictions, he’s urging grey nomads to take up the challenge and help farmers to get the bumper crop off.

Dementia discrimination rife says new report

ALONG THE GARDEN PATH Dubbo Photo News photographer Ken Smith took a series of photographs at Dubbo’s Shoyoen Japanese Gardens on Saturday afternoon, including this picture-postcard scene of a path winding through the ﬂora. It reminds us of the landscape described in an Enid Blyton book. See more of Ken’s photos on Page 18.

Site sale signals end of another era Continued from page 1

Mr Yelverton is hopeful the infrastructure can be sold and moved to another site in the local area. “If it was rebuilt on a community site where there were other attractions, food and so on. It could be a fantastic asset to the people of Dubbo,” he said. A social media post about the imminent closure saw almost 1000 likes and nearly 400 comments in less than 24 hours, a testament, he says, to how much the community has embraced the drive-in theatre experience. “That shows how much the community wants it (and) how valuable an asset it really is,” he said, although he hopes he can cut through the restrictive Covid-19 regulations to have the drive-in operating for a short window before the sale and exchange

of the property. “I’d really like to say a big heartfelt thank you to all those who supported us in our journey both in helping restore and renovate as well as our valued patrons who supported us. “A special thanks must go to the owners of the land who gave us the privilege of being the custodians of this amazing piece of land and allowing us to do what we’ve done,” Mr Yelverton said.

“We are hopeful of trading for a short period once the restrictions are lifted to allow you to say your goodbyes but this will all depend on what restrictions are placed upon us to do so.” Social media comments were scornful of the state government restrictions preventing the drive-in from being open during Covid-19, when patrons can be confined to their own vehicles or the im-

mediate open-air space around them. “I still can’t fathom how all these takeaway food shops (the multinational ones) and such are open and an open air experience like the drive is restricted,” one person wrote. “Government has really shown its colours here, favouring big business/too threatened by them and not so much by all the little people. Similarly, soci-

ety hasn’t done it’s bit to be heard either.” There were plenty more in that same vein: “It’s just ridiculous that you guys are unable to open. I would think it would be very safe and very enjoyable in this hard time of lock down. Once again just no common sense – the government is killing our economy and our soul.” One long-time local was particularly thankful for all the drive-in had meant for her: “On this day 40 years ago I started dating my now husband and it all started at the drivein, so sad to hear the gates are closing after so much work went into opening them again. Thanks for the memories.” Parties from other areas such as Parkes and Wagga have expressed interest in relocating the drive-in so they can reap the tourism benefits.

FOLLOWING the positive response to Dubbo Photo News’ extensive coverage last week of the challenges facing dementia sufferers and their carers, readers will be saddened by recent research showing discrimination against these people is entrenched in our society. The results of Dementia Australia’s research – Discrimination and dementia – enough is enough – released as the nation marks Dementia Action Week, shows more than two-thirds of people living with dementia fear discrimination. This can lead to social isolation, loneliness and poor mental health, and the research showed also that Covid-19 restrictions have exacerbated this impact. The theme for this year’s Dementia Action Week is based on the notion that “a little support makes a big difference” and there are some very small actions we can all take to make that big change for the better, including offering a little support to the person living with dementia or their carer of family member. We can also support health care professionals to make their practice more dementia friendly. Included in the research were some alarming statistics, including that 91 per cent of people who have a loved one with dementia said others don’t keep in touch as they used to; 87 per cent felt patronised by other people and made to feel “not smart”. Further, more than 90 per cent of professionals, volunteers and people not impacted by dementia agree people living with dementia are likely to be treated differently once they’re diagnosed and more than 30 per cent of carers said their physical health had declined due to Covid-19 restrictions.

MAYOR ATTACKED! Super swooper strikes By JEN COWLEY ATTACKS on publicly elected officials are never a simple case of black and white... or are they? It seems our mayor, Stephen Lawrence, has one of his constituents in a flap, with one militant magpie launching an all-out aerial assault on the city’s head honcho during a recent encounter on one of Dubbo’s popular walking tracks. Fortunately, both Cr Lawrence and his feathered foe escaped unscathed from the encounter, but others who traverse the riverside track in particular haven’t been as lucky. The bolshie bird has inflicted some nastier than usual injuries on walkers and bike riders, prompting some track users to call for action to remove the threat. Cr Lawrence says Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) is responsible for reporting any magpie attacks to the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), which is ultimately where the buck stops. Magpies are protected, and there are harsh penalties for harming the monochrome minstrels whose song and springtime sorties are so deeply imprinted in the Australian psyche. However, there are instances in which the safety of the community takes precedence, according to NPWS guidelines, to which council strictly adheres. Relocating an aggressive bird isn’t recommended, given the stress on the animal and the fact that moving it may just simply move the problem, but should a magpie repeatedly display aggressive behaviour and have caused significant injury to someone, it may be destroyed in order to maintain public safety. Although his encounters with the magpie have ended without harm, the mayor acknowledges that this season there have been some valid concerns from members of the public who have been attacked and injured. “These birds really do need to be appreciated and we shouldn’t be fearful of them, but at times they can be aggressive and that needs to be managed,” he says, adding that while community safety is paramount, council is bound by the strict guidelines set down by NPWS. Cr Lawrence said people are encouraged in the first instance to contact NPWS about magpie attacks. If there are a “large volume” of complaints, he says, council will place signs to warn the public of the potential threat and can ask the NPWS for the relocation or destruction of the bird.

However, council has neither the required expertise nor resources to carry out these latter measures itself. In this season’s case of a particularly problematic super swooper in West Dubbo, Cr Lawrence says council has placed signs in the areas of concern, as it has done throughout the rest of the city where protective maggies have been active. “Council has also posted on social media asking people to report swooping, as well as placing ads in the paper to warn about magpie season.” The flapping of angry wings behind one’s head is among the signature sounds of spring, and while there’s no doubt it can be an unpleasant experience to be the target of the defensive dive-bombers, magpies actually get a pretty bad rap it seems. After all, they’re simply defending their territory and their babies and according to experts, only about 10 per cent of magpies swoop, most of them male. Highly intelligent creatures, it’s said they are among the few non-mammals that are able to recognise themselves in a mirror, and can distinguish up to 100 different faces. Herein lies one of the best defences in the human armoury – magpies are much less likely to swoop people they recognise, but will conversely double down on their attacks if provoked so avoid the temptation to wave your arms about wildly, or hit out with sticks or other objects. The best advice according to Mayor Lawrence, who was at the time of our opportune photo shoot riding his bicycle while sporting a plastic-tie-spiked helmet, is to remain calm. “Try to keep an eye on the magpie while you’re walking carefully away – they’re less likely to swoop if you’re looking at them,” he offers, adding that if you’re riding a bike, it’s best to get off and wheel it through the area. “Try putting some fake eyes on the back of your helmet or hat – it might sound silly, but this is an effective measure!” The good folk at WIRES (Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service) further advise firstly to try to avoid the area where you know a magpie is swooping, but if you are swooped, keep moving. Don’t stop – you’re still in the magpie’s territory, so they’ll keep swooping. They say magpies will mostly only swoop individuals so try to travel in a group (or at least with people taller than you...!) and remember that the season won’t last forever.

These precious creatures are protected native animals and they deserve to live in peace and protect their young as would any good parent. They’ll go back to being peaceful inhabitants of our natural world just as

soon as their chicks fly the nest, so be patient and be alert not alarmed. However, if you are concerned about an overly aggressive magpie’s threat to you or others, please contact council pm 68014000 to report the attack.

Dubbo makes top storm impact list

Retiree loves to connect By NATALIE LEWIS RETIREMENT is different for everyone, but for Jenny Rodway it’s all about regular contact with people and assisting local organisations doing meaningful work in the community. “I worked as a physiotherapist for 40 years and in private practice for 23 years,” she explained. “My working life has always been working with lots of different people, and I enjoy meeting and chatting with people.” When she decided to retire 20 months ago, Mrs Rodway trained as a Taronga Western Plains Zoo guest services and volunteer guide and became a Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) ambassador. “I wanted to do things where I was helping other people, promoting Dubbo and mixing with people who visit our tourist attractions,” she said. As a zoo volunteer, Mrs Rodway is proud of the work that goes into the facility and she likes meeting people and learning about the animals. “I’m one of many volunteers there and it’s a great group of people. The other volunteers are a great community. I enjoy being outside, meeting people and

I know that the zoo and keepers appreciate what we do and it takes the workload off them.” Mrs Rodway said the zoo has a strong conservation team working behind the scenes. “The zoo’s doing a fantastic job looking after threatened and endangered species. “It’s such a beautiful asset, it’s a pleasure to be there. You work with a variety of people and you can be there once a week or once a month.” Before lockdown, Mrs Rodway was enjoying taking groups around as a guide on Early Morning Walks, and had just started doing coach training. At the RFDS, Mrs Rodway has helped at the Dubbo base and mobile education unit. She described how the service has benefited the health and welfare of outback locations and their approach to the Covid-19 vaccination rollout has been phenomenal. “It’s lovely to be part of such a great organisation. It’s amazing the work they do in rural and isolated communities. “Both groups do a lot to help others in growing awareness of their respective causes. I love going out, talking to people, hearing their stories, promoting the work

DUBBO has achieved the dubious honour of being fourth on a list of the ten most storm-affected towns in the state, according to a survey conducted by NRMA insurance. Our fair city comes in at number four, but is at the top of the list for the central and western regions over the past year. The silver lining to that cloud is that the research also shows we are among the most storm-ready in NSW, with a healthy second place ranking when it comes to being prepared for wild weather. Our neighbours at Parkes came in at sixth most impacted overall, with Orange, Forbes and Broken Hill also scoring a place in the top five for the region. The data was released by the insurance giant ahead of the start of storm season, which usually runs from October through to March.

(the organisations do). “We have got such fantastic assets on our doorstep. I’m looking forward to when they open up again. Last year, it was really busy after lockdown.” Mrs Rodway emphasised that volunteering is not a full-time job for her, and normally helps where she can for two or three days a week. “When you retire, you want to spend those years of your life do-

ing the things you want to do,” she said. “I enjoy life and giving back. I think it’s about helping others. There’s no pressure doing the things I love doing. I’m just pacing myself. I’m also gardening and reading and thoroughly enjoying being a grandmother.” Mrs Rodway also plays trombone in the Dubbo District Concert Band and is an alto in the Cantanto ladies’ choir.

Armed robbery, police appeal

“It looks like they’re buried in a paddock” By NATALIE LEWIS WITH both her parents laid to rest at Western District Memorial Park, Yvette Aubusson-Foley was saddened to see the current state of the local cemetery. “The weeds and dry patches make my parents’ graves look like they’re buried in a paddock,” she said. “I went on Father’s Day to spend some time and was shocked at how unkempt the grounds are.” Western District Memorial Park Customer Service Representative Ben Szoko said dry grass and weeds at the lawn cemetery is a sign of the season. “We are dealing with weeds on a regular basis,” he explained. “We do our best, but the problem is in relation to the current climate. We are continually spraying to prevent weeds.” He explained that the business had struggled through drought to keep the lawn cemetery looking its best. This has been followed by significant rainfall which brought plenty of weeds springing up. Ms Aubusson-Foley said it was understandable to see the site looking dire during the drought but that time has long passed. “During the drought it was all dirt. We had water restrictions and they’re a business, so they had to comply. But we’ve just had good rain for months providing perfect conditions.” Mr Szoko said it was typically part of their program to put down pre-emergent herbicide and they would “get on top of it in due course”. “We are working on these problems, tackling weeds. It’s fairly common. It will get resolved soon.” However, that does little to comfort Ms Aubusson-Foley whose father Patrick has been buried at the facility since 1988 while her mother Grace was only

laid to rest there in April this year. “Sadly, it isn’t the first time I’ve visited and felt deflated by the lack of care, and it’s not the first time I’ve complained either,” she said. “I have this ideal in my head that a lawn cemetery is going to look like a lawn. It is a respectful place to reflect and pay respects. “If it was called Western Districts Paddock Cemetery, I’d have no cause for disappointment and heartbreak.” Mr Szoko said the business had no intention of upsetting families but was aware that it can be a sensitive topic for loved ones. “We understand it can be upsetting, we don’t mean to upset families. “It’s not uncommon for people to be upset about the (cemetery’s) appearance but we want them to know we are on top of it. “We put our heart and soul into making the park as good as it can possibly be but there’s no easy fix,” he said. Ms Aubusson-Foley said relatives expect to dust leaves and dirt from the headstone but that should be the extent of their care. “You don’t expect to pull weeds because management isn’t, or start planning a lawn regeneration strategy for your parents’ graves and do it yourself. “Mum died this year, April 15, buried April 23. In five months, my mother’s grave still does not have a proper lawn covering. The turf squares put there have not been maintained and are mostly dead. It is incredibly distressing. “I imagine anyone visiting their loved ones’ graves do so with their heart in their hands. It’s hard.” Mr Szoko pointed out that it was a very busy job keeping the lawns in tip-top condition. “It’s an ongoing process and it is hard to do at certain times of the year.

POLICE are appealing for the public’s assistance after an armed robbery at a service station in Dubbo. About 9.10pm last Tuesday, September 14, a male staff member was leaving the service station on Windsor Road when he was approached by three men with their faces covered, one armed with a knife. The group pushed the man back into the store and demanded cash and the man’s car key. They stole more than $350 dollars from the store and the man’s car key and electronics devices. Investigators are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage from the area at the time to contact Dubbo Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Blue Plaques Program open NOMINATIONS for the NSW Blue Plaques Program are now open, and members of the public are invited to nominate local places and personalities that deserve to have their heritage value recognised. Modelled on a similar initiative in the United Kingdom, the program will showcase key heritage sites across the region. The place could be a much-loved historic building, a place linked to a moment in history, or even somewhere linked to a local hero. For more information on the project, visit https://bit.ly/ HNSWBluePlaques. The state of her parents’ graves has left Yvette Aubusson-Foley feeling upset. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

“We are constantly working on them. It’s like the Harbour Bridge, when you finish at one end you have to start at the other. “In summer and winter, you are against the elements so it’s bad timing. And we are happy to help.” Ms Aubusson-Foley believes the cemetery’s expansion may be “where the care has been directed”. She also said the site is owned by the Palmdale Group which operates three large cemeteries. In turn, they are owned by the Stevens Group, a multi-million-dollar property development company which currently has an interest

More and more people living with dementia High hopes By NATALIE LEWIS PEOPLE think of dementia as an old person’s affliction, but the average age it occurs is just 65 with signs of early onset from as young as 55. Dubbo Homestead Care Community general manager Margaret Irish said dementia is also impacting more and more members of the community, with an estimated 250 people diagnosed each day. Without a medical breakthrough, this will increase to 318 people per day by 2025 and more than 650 people by 2056. “Dementia is the single greatest cause of disability in older Australians aged 65 years or older and the third leading cause of disability overall,” Ms Irish said. Dementia Action Week from September 20 to 26 presents an opportunity to raise awareness of the condition and with the theme ‘A little support makes a big difference’, it’s a good time to learn about what factors are contributing to this as an ever-increasing condition. “Lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking, diet and inactivity increase the risks of dementia,” Ms Irish said. “Lack of access to health services in certain areas is a factor linked to clinical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, which can increase the risk of dementia.” Ms Irish has been touched by dementia in both her personal and professional life and said it can present differently in differ-

Dementia can affect anyone, and is impacting more and more people’s lives every year. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

ent people. “Dementia is very present for me,” she said. “I recognise it in the person next to me at the supermarket who is a little confused, or in the bushwalker who got lost when going on a walk. Or in my own mother who is an amazing lady, who has travelled the world, was a Director of Nursing, holds a Masters in Asian Political Studies and is now

living with dementia, and in my grandmother before her.” Ms Irish believes greater investment is needed for research into dementia to challenge the perception that it is a burden on society. She would also like to see evidence-based solutions that improve inclusion and quality of life for people living with dementia and create structured education pathways for nursing, medicine

and other multidisciplinary professional qualifications so that the workforce can more effectively support those living with the condition. Ms Irish said it can be difficult to encourage people to seek advice even when they know something is not right. “The early signs of dementia are often subtle, can vary a great deal, and may not be immediately obvious. Symptoms may develop gradually and go unnoticed for a long time.” These include confusion, changes in personality that are not linked to other clinical factors, apathy, withdrawal or difficulty concentrating and losing the ability to do everyday tasks. “In my experience, one example is misplacing things. Anyone can temporarily misplace a wallet or car keys. A person with dementia may repeatedly put things in inappropriate places. In my grandmother’s case, she often put the tea pot next to the roses. This was when we knew something was up. For her it made sense because she had always emptied the tea leaves onto the rose garden. “Many conditions have symptoms similar to dementia, so it’s important not to assume that someone has dementia just because some of the symptoms are present. It’s always important to seek medical advice.” For more information or to access services associated with dementia, visit dementia.org.au or call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.

for Oliver House sale

DUBBO’S only existing “high rise” building, Oliver House, is again up for sale with a new listing hitting the books of local agents Bob Berry Real Estate this week. The Church Street building, constructed in the 1960s by the Australian Workers Union, has long been a landmark on the city’s commercial landscape and over the years has been home to many different businesses and organisations. At five stories, Oliver House is the first – and to date only – high rise office development in Dubbo. The 1327 square metre property has variously housed an eclectic mix of tenants, been used for charity events, including a Rotary abseiling challenge back in the ‘90s, and in mid-2019, Dubbo Photo News reported that Oliver House was enlisted by Police Rescue for a “vertical training” exercise, in which it helped simulate the recovery of an injured person from “rugged country”.

Shocked, sad, scared: Health service in special administration By JOHN RYAN THE sudden announcement that Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service (WACHS) has been placed into special administration has shocked the local community, along with those in other areas such as Moree and Western Sydney where the organisation runs so many community programs. Concerns raised with Dubbo Photo News include whether the current programs would continue as normal, and whether local staff would keep their jobs. A spokesperson for the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC) told Dubbo Photo News the first and very important message is that everyone should know it’s business as usual at WACHS. “The corporation will continue delivering high quality health care services and programs across all its locations,” the spokesperson said. ORIC’s website posted a statement saying the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, Selwyn Button, “has today (September 20) placed the Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service (WACHS) under special administration”. “On September 3, 2021, the majority of the board requested the appointment of a special administrator for the corporation,” the statement read. “Leading up to this action, the board had been alerted to serious financial discrepancies internally and commissioned an independent investigation to verify the allegations and extent of the irregularities. Just one day after receiving the independent report the board reached out to ORIC to ask for specialist support. “The board (members) are to be praised for their decisive and swift action,” Mr Button said. “Furthering their objectives as a not-for-profit organisation under a model of community control is at the heart of WACHS’ approach. I expect their deliberations were

intense and not easy, especially to consider potential perceptions of giving up community control.” After community concerns were raised about the praise for the WACHS board, the spokesperson clarified that ORIC praises all boards that reach out for help when needed. Jack James and Paula Smith

have been appointed as the joint special administrators until March 25, 2022, and ORIC says it expects special administrators to communicate and consult with members of the corporation, the local community and other interested parties, with opportunities for people to be engaged and participate while the special admin-

istration is in place. The spokesperson told Dubbo Photo News that ORIC has a strong track record of recovering corporations from the brink of corporate collapse. “In 2020-21, ORIC finalised nine special administrations with eight handed back to members’ control and one placed into

Should be business as usual at WACHS, MP says FEDERAL member for Calare Andrew Gee has told Dubbo Photo News it should be business as usual for the Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service (WACHS) while it undergoes a period of special administration. “The Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC) can speak for itself with regard to statements it has placed on the public record,” Mr

Gee said. “In its statement, ORIC refers to allegations of serious financial discrepancies. I have not been provided with details as to what they are, but the bottom line is that they need to be fully investigated as a matter of urgency,” Mr Gee said. “In the meantime, the office of the Minister for Indigenous Australians has assured me that it is business as usual

at WACHS and that the corporation will continue delivering healthcare services across all of its locations.” Mr Gee said special administrators replace the board in the governing and oversight role and that they are not usually involved in day-to-day operational matters, especially in a corporation of WACHS’ size where operations are handled by the corporation’s staff.

liquidation. “The job of a special administrator is not just to resolve immediate concerns, they work with staff and community to strengthen the corporation’s governance structures for future success. When the hood is up it’s a good opportunity to look at how the whole engine is working. “Special administrators replace the board in the governing and oversight role. They work with staff and community to strengthen the corporation’s governance structures for future success and also with significant stakeholders such as funding bodies to address any concerns they may have. “Special administrators are not usually involved in day-to-day operational matters, especially in a corporation of WACHS’ size where operations are handled by the corporation’s senior management staff,” the spokesperson said.

Dubbo Photo News September 23-29, 2021

Tackling Covid requires common sense approach By JOHN RYAN TWO weeks ago Dubbo Photo News raised concerns with NSW Health that many people were not getting tested for Covid-19 if they didn’t have any symptoms because they were forced to isolate until their test results came back. Many people couldn’t afford the time off work or the financial losses to their own businesses. Now the state government has heeded those concerns. This week Covid-19 surveillance testing was expanded to include all of Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) following a strong response to its introduction in high-priority areas. Surveillance testing means if you have no symptoms and get tested, there’s no need to isolate. WNSWLHD Chief Executive Scott McLachlan explained surveillance testing encourages people to be tested for Covid-19 even if they have no symptoms, and is designed to give clearer insight into whether Covid-19 is present in a community, with the new regime now having a stronger role to play given the fact that Covid-19 can be present with very minor symptoms, particularly in children and those who have been vaccinated. “Surveillance testing has a particularly important role to

play in communities where we have seen detections in sewage in towns where there are no known cases, or where we haven’t been able to identify a source of transmission,” Mr McLachlan said. “But with vaccination rates across the district increasing at a rapid rate and as more people build that protection there is potential for less obvious or minimised symptoms. “So widespread surveillance testing can offer greater assurance for our communities by testing as many people as people, some who may have been hesitant to come forward previously. He said health workers saw a strong take-up of surveillance testing in areas like Dubbo, Cowra and Trangie where it was initially piloted, with Cowra experiencing an increase in the number of people being tested by hundreds each day. “Surveillance testing is different from what we’ve been doing previously in that we’re encouraging people to come forward regardless of whether they have symptoms or not. We want to test as many people as we can,” he said. “People who aren’t close contacts or who don’t have symptoms themselves or in anyone else in their household are then

not required to self-isolate until they get their results.” Mr McLachlan said the process for testing across WNSWLHD will not change, and encouraged anyone showing any signs or symptoms to continue coming forward for testing as a priority. “We obviously still need those people showing any signs or symptoms, or those identified as close and casual contacts, to be tested immediately. In those cases, people will still need to isolate until they receive their results or in some cases for the full 14 days regardless of their results. “Widespread testing is still one of the most effective ways we can catch Covid-19 cases early and stop the spread of this virus.” Another landmark is due next week with the expected arrival of the third vaccine, Moderna, which will be distributed through local pharmacies and available for people in the 12-59-year age bracket at this stage. Unlike the Pfizer shot which requires complex storage facilities, the Moderna (mRNA-1273) vaccine can be stored at standard refrigerator temperatures making the logistics of getting it out to regional and remote areas far simpler.

Kennard Park upgrades a game changer for Wellington WELLINGTON’S famed Kennard Park will sport a new look when next year’s footy season kicks off, thanks to improvements to be undertaken over coming months. The upgrade, which is part of a funding partnership between all levels of government, will include the purchase and installation of two fully accessible modular amenities units. Dubbo region mayor Stephen Lawrence said Dubbo Regional Council staff have worked closely with stakeholders to “strategically locate the units” which will improve facilities for both players and supporters. One unit will be installed on the eastern side of the park to replace the old condemned amenities, while the other will be placed on the southern side near the canteen. Cr Lawrence says the planning and consideration will create accessible links between the grand-

stand, canteen, amenities and playing field, while construction of new adjoining disability car parking for each amenity block is also underway. The renewal project will also involve the refurbishment of the existing change rooms including a new false ceiling, removal of the ventilation brick and steel bars and rendering of the internal walls, whirly birds in the roof, marine carpet on the floor and new shower hardware and partitions. The mayor says the “lollies and steak sandwiches have not been forgotten”, with the canteen to also receive a much-needed upgrade, including new benches, serving doors and a shelter over the barbecue area behind the canteen. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders joined Cr Lawrence in saying the project is a “big win” for Wellington.

Retirement: It’s about living life YOUR way

ADVERTORIAL

Retirement should be about living life your way and at Kintyre Living, we believe retiring from work doesn’t mean retiring from life! Our residents can be as active or as relaxed as they like. They can live independently knowing help and support is there when and if they need it. And they know living at Kintyre means retiring their way. But don’t take OUR word for it – here’s what some of our community members say about living life at Kintyre:

Sharyn Heydon I’m one of the “oldies” – I’ve been here for 14 years! It’s such a supportive community environment – the beauty of it is that there’s always someone around if you need any help, but they’re not on your doorstep all the time. The staff really do go above and beyond to make sure life is as easy and happy as it can be – you wouldn’t get this level of care and concern at any other retirement village. That care makes us feel safe and keeps us connected. I know there’s someone there to help me if I need it. Every so often you’ll get a phone call from one of the staff members to just make sure you’re doing okay, and that’s lovely. I’m as happy as a pig in mud here!

Colleen Whiteley I’ve been a resident at Kintyre Living for four years and I’ve been very happy from day one. When you decide to leave your home and come to a retirement village, you need to have a different mindset and if you do, you settle in very well. You have to make decisions when you’re well enough and healthy enough to make them and carry them out. I took a while to decide where to go and which retirement village to choose, and how far to downsize but I’m so pleased I chose Kintyre Living. The community support here is what makes all the difference. Everyone looks out for you, and I’ve made so many friends here. There’s a real comfort that comes from knowing you’re not alone. You feel like you’re part of a community, but they’re not invasive.

People would say to me when they found out I was coming to live here, “Oh, you’ll have people on your doorstep the whole time!” – well, no, they’re absolutely not. You have your privacy, but there are people around if you need them.

Malcolm Bryan This is a wonderful place to live because – apart from lockdown of course – you can be as involved as you want or you can just do your own thing and not have anything to do with anyone. There’s a very active social calendar here.

Most people enjoy each other’s company and even now, we can walk around outside – wearing a mask of course – but we’re having social interaction with our neighbours on the way around! We’re part of a wonderful community and we’re very grateful for that.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to retire YOUR way at Kintyre – contact us now for more information on the packages available for the exciting next stage.

People power opens new cancer centre doors IN a demonstration of the might of “people power”, the dream of a cancer centre for Dubbo and the western region finally became a reality this week, with the state-of-the-art facility opening its doors to patients. Construction of the $35 million Western Cancer Centre at Dubbo’s hospital precinct is now complete after a six-year grass-roots campaign driven by a group of passionate western region advocates and a support base of more than 46,000 people. On Monday, life-saving cancer care services began moving into the facility that will enable cancer patients, and their families, to stay closer to home and not have to travel to Sydney or other centres for vital treatment and quality care. First to open were the clinic rooms and reception, to be followed next month by new chemotherapy treatment spaces and wellness space, and in coming months radiation therapy and a PET CT Scanner will be added to the suite of services. Lyn Smith, who is among those who established the initial campaign in 2015, says to have reached this stage is “very exciting” and that the bricks and mortar manifestation of

the dream is the “result of the strong campaign support of the communities of western NSW, through community groups and local media”. Mrs Smith told Dubbo Photo News the campaign was not without its initial naysayers. “Early in the campaign there were people who said it would never happen, and that we should try to raise the money ourselves – $35 million is a lot of lamingtons! “Fortunately Mark Coulton’s passionate advocacy was

successful in securing funding from both the federal and state governments,” Mrs Smith said, adding that during the planning and building process, community members were involved in “decision making and design elements resulting in a pleasant environment where patients will receive their care, and families will be able to relax while they wait”. The building’s artworks include murals of local Aboriginal bush foods by renowned public artist Fintan Magee and a suspended work by Jade Oakley in collaboration with Aunty Di McNaboe. There are also photo portraits of ‘friendly faces’ from Dubbo and Western NSW communities by Asher Milgate, and interior wall paintings of the region’s waterways by artist Greg Carosi.

Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said the opening of the centre is one of the proudest moments of his 14 years in the job, having “fought passionately” for the project since first presenting a petition of a staggering 45,961 signatures to the parliament in 2016. Mr Coulton, who until recently held the portfolio of Minister for Regional Health, said regional people need and deserve the quality

Doctors at risk of black dog bite

Covid vans roll out to Walgett

A RECENT review led by the Black Dog Institute and UNSW Sydney has revealed that doctors are more at risk of mental health issues due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Lead researcher Professor Samuel Harvey, who runs the Workplace Mental Health Research Program, said doctors are at a higher risk of suicide than the general population, particularly during their training years. “There is a need – now more urgent given Covid-19 – to intervene to protect and improve the mental health of doctors, with interventions needing to target not only individuals but, more importantly, their organisations and the wider systems within which they work,” Prof Harvey said. Visit www.blackdoginstitute.org.au for more information.

TEN fully fitted-out campervans have been delivered to Walgett as part of the Western NSW Local Health District’s temporary accommodation rollout for for people with Covid-19 and close contacts unable to self-isolate in their usual home. WNSWLHD CEO Scott McLachlan said Walgett had so far identified 22 people with the virus, the most recent case notified on September 15. “We know the Delta strain of Covid-19 is very easy to transmit to other people, so when we identify a person with it, it’s important that they can stay somewhere that is safe, comfortable, secure. “Where needed, providing temporary accommodation can help stop Covid-19 spreading to other people,” Mr McLachlan said.

Lessons in living the van life By JOHN RYAN WHILE much of the non-Covid news these days is taken up with the vexed issue of overpriced housing, and housing shortages, Lyn Burge has managed to declutter her life for a far simpler version of stress-free peace and happiness. She’s lived in Dubbo for four years...in a caravan. “I love it here and live in a big 5th-wheel caravan permanently at the Westview Caravan Park near the drivein,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “Around 20 other people live here full time too. It’s a great lifestyle and very safe with a manager here 24/7. There’s never any trouble, it’s very Covid-safe and always clean and well maintained.” Lyn says the park is environmentally friendly with recycling bins, and that residents don’t have to worry about garbage bins and collection or mowing lawns. “We have a laundry and even have a pool, playground and free community BBQ area with a full outdoor kitchen, TV, pizza oven and fire pit and pets are allowed too.” Lyn says it’s a wonderful lifestyle, with plenty of people living in the park’s cabins. She doesn’t understand why, with plenty of land for similar developments close at hand,

Lyn Burge (inset) says van living is the way to go, and could be the solution to the housing squeeze. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

governments at every level aren’t looking at park-living as an alternative solution to the housing crunch, and why locals don’t see it as their solution to mortgage stress. “Cabins could address the short term rental problem,” she said. “My beautiful big van is for sale and I’m buying the owner’s cabin here, that’s how much I like living here.” The 65-year-old former

school principal says this is one lesson she’s keen to teach to any locals who have struggled so much in recent times. “My van has all the comforts of home plus an extra full outdoor kitchen, underfloor heating, air conditioning and a lovely outdoor area,” she said. “This is an ideal lifestyle for me and probably for many singles and/or couples and fi-

nancially it makes sense too. I pay a weekly site fee plus electricity, no rates, no rental inspections plus when I’m away for extended periods I am only charged a dollar a day site fee – it’s like being on a permanent holiday. “As a single lady I feel very safe here. There’s lots of privacy, but there’s also always someone around ready to help out if needed.”

Facilitator ﬁnds futures after farming ONE of the greatest challenges facing Australia’s family farming sector is the issue of succession: how does the family business survive and thrive through the generations? It’s an issue that’s torn some families apart, financially and emotionally, yet in many other cases it makes the enterprise stronger than ever. James Hamilton is a man who wears two hats – one as a farmer from Narromine and the other as a facilitator of family succession planning through his professional business. His training and experience assists other farming families to pass the baton to the next generation. He spoke to John Ryan about the intricacies of having that most important of conversations. ••• Tell us about your role as a succession planner? With regards to succession planning I fit into the front end of the process. I facilitate the conversation with all family members (together at the same time) to understand what is important to individuals and collectively as a family. Once this is clear, we explore options that can meet the needs of the family, based on the family asset base. The exploration of options, based on the family’s needs is a non-threatening way to open up people’s thinking as to what may be possible. The development of options has the family reach an option they can all agree on. The selected option is communicated to the family’s accountant, bank manager, lawyer and/or financial planner. The professional advisors appreciate the family having reached an agreement as to what is a fair division of assets as this enables the professional advisors to make recommendations based on what the family has agreed to. It’s a vexed area that causes so much trouble for so many farming families, why is that? There are so many emotions involved as everyone at the meeting usually has an emotional tie to the farm. There are also emotions and opinions based on previous interactions (both positive and not so positive) between individual family members. Families are a complex system. Parents can spend a lot of time and money developing what they think is the best allocation of as-

sets for all their adult children. Parents who decide what they think their adult children will agree to may find the adult children become “judge and jury”, throwing the plan in their parents’ faces! While it is important for parents to have a plan in mind, one they both agree to, it is also important to have adult children involved in the development and refining of a plan. Through involvement in the process there is far greater likelihood agreement can be reached. What per centage of farming families can sort things out for themselves, where it works well? I don’t know what the per centage would be, but I know the characteristics that enable a family to have a greater chance of succeeding on their own: z Family members who choose to spend time together; z Parents who have managed their children’s expectations from an early age...are they treated equally or fairly? z Families that function with open communication...can anything be asked or are there topics off-limits? z Communication structures within the family and business...

are there meetings with agendas, reports, future based written plans? How important is it to have succession discussions sooner, rather than later? You can’t start too early. Apart from assets on the balance sheet another ‘asset’ is time. If a family establishes what opportunities each member is seeking and they have time (with a clear plan) more of the identified opportunities can be achieved. A family that does not plan for succession runs the risk of frustrations building within the family and an “event” triggering a reaction (as opposed to a planned response). In such a situation, relationships are strained and decisions made in the heat of the moment. Opportunities are limited. Why do so many farmers want to hang onto the reins for as long as they can? I think if you have always been a farmer, for many it’s their identity therefore the idea of not being a farmer challenges this... what will I do, what is my purpose, who am I?

have too much debt. What is “too much” is open to interpretation. Someone who is in their 30s will have a greater appetite for debt than someone in their 70s. Fear of a divorce can also hold families back. There are legal structures that can assist in protecting assets from a divorce. How do you approach this, getting families to talk about difficult and emotional issues? My role is to create a safe environment where all family members can be heard and understood. If anyone in the family does not believe they were heard and understood, a succession plan runs the real risk of failing. My training and experience enables me to manage the room. Noticing when someone leans slightly back in their seat and inhales as an automatic response to what a family member has said. This tells me the person had a reaction to what was said, I’m interested in why. Many farmers have multiple children, some who want to come back on the land and others who don’t. How can things be worked out equitably so everyone is satisﬁed with the end result? This can only happen through conversation. If a family does not have a history of open communication I’d encourage them to seek out a trained and experienced facilitator to assist with the process. My experience suggests if all family members are invited to be part of the succession planning process they come with generosity. If excluded and told what the outcome is they are less likely to accept the decision. Emotions play out... I’m not even worthy of having my opinion heard, screw them I’ll teach them a lesson! Legal action often follows. The important point is to involve all so they understand the challenges such as funding parents’ retirement and possible medical needs, passing on a viable farm while also financially assisting off-farm working family members. If all family members can acknowledge what are the needs, opportunities and constraints for all involved and approach the process with an enquiring mind (as to how they collectively solve the succession challenge) they will reach agreement for a succession plan. While this sounds idealistic it is what a good facilitator ensures happens.

IT’S A RECORD! Highest recorded temperature on Earth: The aptly named Death Valley, in California, USA, (pictured) is one of the hottest places in the world. The highest temperature ever, 56.7°C (134°F), was recorded there at Greenland Ranch on July 10, 1913. Although some doubts have been cast around the accuracy of this reading, a more recent temperature of 54.4°C (129.9°F) was registered in Death Valley on August 16, 2020. If conﬁrmed to be accurate by the World Meteorological Organisation, this will likely be recognised as the highest reliably measured temperature on record.

ZOO PATHWAY

Wild about work, even during lockdown By JOHN RYAN KAITLYN Doherty has spent two years as a trainee zookeeper at Dubbo’s major tourist attraction after completing her Certificate II in Animal Studies at Taronga Training Institute in 2018, which clearly led her to work in this field. Starting out as a volunteer, Kaitlyn was then accepted to undertake a Certificate III for Captive Animals, which further cemented zookeeping as her chosen career. “I applied for a casual position and was lucky enough to get in,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “I began my zoo career working with goats, lions, tigers and meerkats. Then I moved to cheetah, African wild dogs and Galapagos tortoises, which I have been heavily focusing on and enjoying for the past six months.” Kaitlyn revels in being around the great bunch of people she works with and says it makes things so much easier at work when everyone’s pretty much on the same page. “The zoo provides you with a group of like-minded people who want to achieve the same goals as you. I’ve found this really refreshing, being quite young still, and now being surrounded with an abundance of people that have the same passions as I do. “I have made some really close friends that I will be forever grateful to have met because of the zoo. “The advantage of working with people from all over the world in this career enables so much room for growth and learning from one another. We can all network to-

gether to achieve the best care for the animals. It also allows opportunities for career development.” Kaitlyn says there’s a strong culture of work health and safety and doing things right at the zoo, from the start and in everything big and small – she believes top-line Work, Health and Safety (WHA) protocols are crucial in a zoo environment. “WHS is extremely important to keep myself, co-workers, animals and guests safe,” she said. “The animals we work with can be dangerous and the labour we do every day is intensive. “Having a strong workplace safety culture fills me with confidence when coming to work every day.” The zoo is an unusual workplace with multiple streams operating at the same time including the welfare and husbandry of animals, research in collaborative projects with other zoos around the world and the reef coral preservation project. That’s as well as attracting tourists to raise awareness of wildlife conservation issues and create revenue to fund some of the activities in this field. Kaitlyn find it “incredibly fulfilling” to work where there’s so much important work being done on a daily basis. “I’m providing an enriching life for the animals I work with. Being a voice for them and their species fills me with joy and purpose,” Kaitlyn said. “Working for a great organisation that is achieving goals for conservation gives me a great

sense of pride and shows me how I can grow and develop in my career. I can see how the things we do on site here are so important to enable projects to happen. “I have taken on small leadership opportunities within my day to day work such as training new staff and helping out more senior staff with small projects. I’m still

very fresh into my career and see a lot of leadership in my future.” The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have been far-reaching, and have dealt a massive blow to a tourist attraction that was forced to lock its gates to the general public. “The pandemic has affected me in many ways. During the first

lockdown it impacted how much I could work, which was disheartening because I love my job and just wanted to be at the zoo,” she said. “We are all trying to keep each other safe at work and we aren’t meeting with other divisions as much, so separation can be difficult.”

Cleaning through Covid By JOHN RYAN EADIE Wiggins smiles as she cleans, even though the global pandemic has hit her work hard. She normally works two jobs and while she’s thankful to still have work to go to, as a professional cleaner many of the premises she usually tend to have either shut during lockdowns or are on reduced operations, meaning fewer hours are needed per visit. “It can always be worse, I guess. I have a reduced income. I’m still working with my main job but have temporarily lost my second job. I miss freedom but I love the reduced traffic,” she told Dubbo Photo News while looking on the bright side of things. Like so many others, Eadie is struggling with disruptions to her normal life, many of which seemed like they were a given for Australians two years ago. “The biggest (challenge) would be accepting that I can’t see my mum and dad in person,” she said. “Others include staying safe when you still need to work, shop,

and pay bills. Having to reassign income to specific priorities. Staying positive while in this situation. Adjusting to new ways of doing things.” As an employee, Eadie is mindful and understanding that her colleagues have been flexible and resilient under the circumstances, although she says it’s been very challenging for those filling in for other staff when at times more than half their business workforce has been isolating. “With several businesses being closed it has given some relief, but things have been very stretched at times. “Some premises are requiring sanitising, even though closed to the public, they still have employees attending premises for work in essential businesses. “It’s very sad to see. Many people have lost their jobs, had reduced hours, and/or are now working from home. Some businesses will never recover. The flow-on is enormous. On the job we have also lost the friendly interaction with the people we nor-

mally see and speak to.” To keep her mind occupied on positive notes Eadie has a variety of interests. “I listen to music, watch lifestyle programs, garden, relax with a cuppa on the verandah, spend time with my horses, connect with friends online, and of course, speak to mum over the phone,” she said. One piece of advice she has is for everyone to simply be as kind, as understanding and as respectful as they can be under these trying circumstances. “I would love for people to be part of the solution and not part of the problem when dealing with this pandemic,” she said. “Have patience and show respect for others. Stay connected with friends and family. Don’t be afraid to talk about how you feel or seek help if you need to. Be grateful and try to focus on the things that make you feel happy. This ‘will’ get better. “If you’re doing okay and supporting others, keep up the good work. Stay safe everyone.”

Chef’s taste of success By NATALIE LEWIS MAXINE Cusack is living the sweet life – literally – with her boxes of goodies selling like hot cakes. As a qualified chef of six years, she has worked in hospitality for the past 11 years. When Mrs Cusack had her daughter, the opportunity to do her own thing in the food industry beckoned. She started making boxes filled with treats and called her new enterprise, Get Smash’d. “My standard box is the chocolate smash heart,” she explains. “It’s a hollow chocolate shell filled with a mix of lollies. Every box gets cake pops, chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolates and lollies.” Customers get to choose the colour theme or chocolate type they would like, with the most popular being a Nutella theme.

Since Dubbo went into lockdown last month, the local home-based business has gone gangbusters and Mrs Cusack is now booked out in advance with orders. “At first, I was only doing a couple of boxes a week, but now I’m fully booked two weeks ahead of time and my social media pages have grown in this short time span.” It seems the residents of Dubbo have developed a huge sweet tooth during lockdown, and Mrs Cusack loves serving up her take on deliciousness. “My love for desserts and making people feel special led me to this path. “I wanted to do something unique that Dubbo didn’t have, and Get Smash’d was the perfect opportunity.” An average day in the business includes ordering stock, running social media pages, answering emails and of course, making all the yummy products.

“A lot goes into each order I make, a lot of love and hard work, and every order I receive puts a massive smile on my face, especially when each order is so different and I always try and listen to the customer to make sure I hit the mark. “It’s definitely a bonus to have worked in the food industry and to also know about food health and safety in this industry.” Mrs Cusack says she has been very fortunate to have support from everyone. “I have received such amazing feedback from customers and everyone supporting myself through this journey. “People are always surprised when they collect their order, and their smile and positive feedback brings such joy to me. “I’m so lucky to be in this industry and to have people love your work is so rewarding.”

GURRUMUL

IN some potentially great news for Dubbo’s menfolk, it appears the humble garden-variety orchid growing on your patio could hold the key to treating prostate cancer, according to new research. The study, led by the Centenary Institute, has found that a compound extracted from a common type of orchid – the Dendrobium chrysotoxum, of which there are nearly 2000 species native to Southeast Asia – produces a certain compound that could help with a potential new treatment for the second most common form of cancer. The compound, Erianin, is a kind of natural bibenzyl compound and was found to have anti-tumour effects on both early- and advanced-stage prostate cancer cells. Published in a medical journal, Frontiers in Oncology, the study showed that the compound could have an important role to play in developing new drugs to target prostate cancer, which is the sixth highest killer of all cancers worldwide. According to Cancer Australia, approximately one in nine men will at some stage in their lives. In 2020 alone, 16,741 Aussie men were diagnosed with the disease, so any potential advancement in treatment options is good news.

The path to kindness By NATALIE LEWIS

Pippa Brennan, Ruby Cullen and Macy Jones get started on their contributions to the Kindness Path at Wellington Public School. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

PRETTY pebbles painted with words of hope and love will make up a Kindness Path which originated with Wellington Public School but is quickly becoming a whole community project. With the school in lockdown, staff have welcomed contributions from students and families towards creating a kindness path for the school. Stage 2 teacher Kate Kiss said they have been busy reaching out to families through social media during lockdown and this was another element of staying connected. “Teachers and support staff have been making sure school work gets out

to all our students, but it is the connection socially and emotionally that is just as important,” she said. She explained that the Facebook page has become a great mode of communication for families to contribute photos of students doing activities and joining in competitions as well as for the creation of community projects. “Creating a kindness path in our top garden on Arthur Street is one of our latest projects,” she said. “This will join our current yarning circle/ bush tucker area with our Stephanie Alexander kitchen garden.” She said lockdown was a great opportunity to have students drawing and painting on stones to add to

the path when they return to school. “What started out as a school community project has turned into a Wellington community project, which is wonderful. This path will eventually be a community kindness path.” Mrs Kiss said they are also running a staff baby photo guessing competition on the Facebook page as well as Furry Friday pet photos. “We have been connecting with families through lockdown. WPS knows how special our school community is and we need to make sure that everyone is keeping safe and well through the lockdown and maintaining connection with our school.”

Public art plans take shape By NATALIE LEWIS DEVELOPMENT of a Public Arts Strategy in consultation with the community, cultural and arts organisations and staff members is one of the outcomes of Dubbo Regional Council’s (DRC) five-year cultural plan. The document, Shaping Plans to Advance Regional Culture (SPARC), outlines the desire to drive imaginative site-specific public artworks throughout the region. Art in public spaces and unexpected places is also the vision of Western Plains Cultural Centre’s cultural development coordinator Jessica Moore who wants to see

creativity go beyond the CBD. “I love seeing art that is interactive, works in unexpected places, art in places we don’t expect it to be, 3D art. It certainly has its place in parks and civic centres but it would be nice to have art at the back of car parks, buildings and play areas as well.” The goal is to investigate options for funding to create and maintain appropriate public artworks and explore opportunities for public art developer contributions to facilitate the financing of public art along with ensuring place making and public art projects are delivered in partnership with the community, driven by public imagination and supported

by professional creatives and local collaborators. “This document is the public art strategy guiding the type of art and where it fits, along with what the community wants,” she said. “It is the guiding strategy for how we support and encourage public art across the region.” Wellington Arts president Lisa Thomas is supportive of the plan and hopes to work with council in the future to fund public art works. She said harmonising potential artistic and historic plans is in line with their objectives. “In the past, Wellington Council had active working groups made up of volunteer citizens and coun-

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

Courting challenges through covid Local lawyers have been forced to radically change the way they do business when it comes to matters traditionally heard in the state’s courtrooms. The Australasian Institute of Judicial Administration recently hosted an online panel discussion reflecting on the virtual courtroom experience during a pandemic to not only share stories but also learnings about how to best keep the wheels of justice turning during these unusual times. Here, two local solicitors share their stories of life inside a virtual courtroom with Dubbo Photo News. JENNIFER Spear is a Senior Solicitor with Duffy Elliott Lawyers, Executive Councillor of NSW Young Lawyers and Secretary/CLE Co-Coordinator of the Orana Law Society. Here she talks about her experiences in local court. As with many industries at the moment, the legal industry has been profoundly affected by the lockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The courtroom procedures are subject to various memorandums governing their operation throughout the evolving pandemic. For example, the Chief Magistrate’s Memorandum No. 22 is the latest advice on procedure in the local courts. Since the stay-at-home orders commenced in Dubbo and surrounds, matters listed for applications, interlocutory proceedings, submissions or decisions in the local court are directed to proceed wherever possible. However, the practicality of this is troublesome with many clients wanting to appear before the court themselves and be involved in proceedings (even if it is just to observe their legal representative in action). I’ve found clients want to know their case has been adequately presented and hear the outcome and reasoning of the Magistrate for themselves. Matters listed for defended hearing where the defendant is not in custody are generally unable to proceed. At this stage, this will last until at least October 1, and may be extended. Obviously, the sheer number of hearings being adjourned will mean there will be significant delay in obtaining a new hearing date in future.

Last I observed in court, this could be up to six months for a short hearing to be re-listed. Ageing matters pose obvious difficulty to memory recollection of witnesses. Many defendants have been eagerly awaiting their hearing date for many months already, and the extension of their matter (particularly when they are on stringent bail conditions) can be a cause of significant stress. In relation to other proceedings: z Matters listed for defended hearing where the defendant is in custody can try to proceed, with the defendant and witnesses all appearing remotely. z Small claims hearings can proceed by telephone only. z Any sentence matter that may result in gaol-time must be adjourned to a date after the current public health order. z Jury trials before the District Court of NSW are also completely on hold until a date after the current public health order. I cannot even begin to imagine the backlog the courts will face after the public health order although, of course, I acknowledge the health of the community is of utmost importance. We have three permanent magistrates who oversee the cases in the local courts across the region, including areas such as Narromine, Walgett, Wellington, Lightning Ridge, Gilgandra, Nyngan, Peak Hill, Warren, Cobar, Brewarrina and Bourke. A large number of those courts are not set up with audio-visual facilities, meaning that throughout the pandemic, the majority of the court work is based out of Dubbo using a specific video conferencing platform available only to le-

gal practitioners. The installation of the new courtroom in Dubbo has actually been quite timely, as it has allowed an extra space for matters to be heard. For example, last week I appeared at Narromine Local Court which was actually an audio-visual link to the magistrate sitting in courtroom four at Dubbo. The magistrates have needed to accommodate practitioners who are unable to obtain proper instructions from their client (for example, due to a lockdown in prison), or who need to juggle kids or deal with other housemates who appear in the background of their feed. Technical glitches are frequent, sound cuts in-and-out, and practitioners can sometimes drop offline mid-submission! Social cues are almost non-existent when appearing online, and there is either deafening silence when calling for the next matter to be heard, or several people speaking at once – there’s no in-between! The registry staff have been doing an incredible job at trying to keep legal practitioners informed of when and how matters will proceed, but of course, the sheer volume of cases and the requirement that documentation such as character references be submitted

to the registry no later than 3pm the day before the matter is heard, is no doubt increasing their workload two-fold. ••• GERALDYNE Keen is a Solicitor with Peacockes Solicitors as well as the Young Lawyers Representative of the Orana Law Society. He she recounts her experiences in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia: The chaos and delay that will no doubt be felt in the local court for many months to come, will not be the same experience as found in the recently merged Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (“FCFCA”). The FCFCA is continuing to operate via the use of Microsoft Teams. The experience has been a relatively positive and smooth sailing process, of course not without a few small technical hiccups along the way. Matters are continuing to be heard by Judges as scheduled, even final hearings which run across multiple days, with counsel and multiple witnesses appearing by video. Practitioners across the region have said the move to virtual courtrooms have been relatively easy to adjust to. The parties are able

to “dial-in” via telephone to listen to their matter, so they still have the opportunity to be involved in the process. Judges have also been quite understanding and accommodating of technical issues as they arise, although even the judge sometimes has difficulty with their video link. Nonetheless, the issue gets resolved quickly and the hearings have proceeded without any difficulty. Just to emphasise, it is still a courtroom so legal practitioners still need to wear appropriate attire, remain focused, ensure the camera is pointed at head-level, not play on their phones and not eat food. An example of the obstacles the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCA) has overcome due to Covid-19 can be demonstrated when all the staff and the judge at one of the registries were required to go into isolation for a period. This did not stop matters proceeding to hearing. In fact, the judge appeared from her own home and the court couriered files direct to her! Given the remoteness of a number of our clients, I can only hope that a combination of video and in-person options remain to deal with matters post-pandemic!

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Candidate’s view on Victoria Park playground The Editor, I wish to outline my full support for families campaigning for fencing to be erected around a new playground being installed in the Victoria Park precinct of Dubbo. As a candidate for South Ward in the upcoming local government election, I thought it only fair to outline my position on this matter. One of the issues I’m campaigning on is the inclusion of more green spaces and play areas for families, as Dubbo continues to grow. This new and improved play area will be great, but it is important that it’s done properly. The safety of our kids should be the number one priority when facilities like this are designed and built, and it seems that little consultation was done with the community when this new playground was designed. If that consultation had been done, I’m sure there would have been the same community concerns outlined then as there are now, which has led to families starting online petitions to try and have the matter resolved at the last minute. I understand this issue will be raised at an upcoming meeting of the current council, however it will be the new council that carries this through to, hopefully, ensure the delivery of fencing for the new facility. I have three children of my own. I know how they can be with you one minute and gone the next, and I stand with the other families in Dubbo that are seeking to have appropriate fencing placed around this playground. Shibli Chowdhury, Dubbo

A personal view for Suicide Prevention Day The Editor, Change is always inevitable, sometimes it’s for the best, sometimes not. One good change in our world that I have witnessed is the gradual breakdown in the stigma surrounding mental health and specifically suicide. When my mum suicided in 1995 the world was not where we are today. When it happened I was 11. I had one week off school. The world kept moving around me so I felt like I had to keep going as well. I don’t blame my dad, my teachers, my friends or my family. It was just how it was. Suicide was so taboo it was as though my mum fell off the face of the earth, rarely to be mentioned again for fear of emotions being shared and difficult conversations taking place. As I’ve grown I’ve seen the shift taking place. The conversations are happening, the stigma is shrinking, people are being given opportunities to be heard. So on World Suicide Prevention Day, I wanted to say thank-you to everyone who pushes mental health as a priority, everyone who has the difficult conversations and doesn’t repress the tough stuff, from the bottom of my heart I say thank-you.

How we can prepare for future disasters The Editor, As people continue to suffer the mental health effects of the pandemic, Red Cross is reminding readers there are things they can do now to regain a sense of control, and prepare for the inevitable disasters ahead. New research by Australian Red Cross has found that two in five Australians’ mental health has been hit by Covid, and a similar number say they feel less hopeful about the future. Some 37 per cent feel less se-

cure and safe. This week is our annual campaign to encourage people to prepare ahead for disasters, as the better prepared people are, the better their experience when a disaster inevitably hits. Better preparation also leads to a better recovery. There are excellent resources on the Red Cross website www.redcross.org.au/prepare including steps to create your own emergency plan, to download the Red Cross Get Prepared App, a survival kit, emergency contacts list, keepsake list, in-

formation to help manage stress and more. With disaster season almost upon us, we strongly encourage people to start thinking now about how they will manage. Your mental health will be better for it.

Submarine program suffers nuclear meltdown Greg Smart ❚ OPINION REMEMBER the patriotic fervour when the Future Submarine Program was announced? “Australian built, Australian jobs, Australian steel, here right where we stand “crowed PM Malcolm Turnbull and Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne at the announcement of the $50 billion project awarded to French company DCNS. Sold as an essential element of our national security requirements, this vote buying exercise soon became a byword for political and financial mismanagement. Within the blink of an eye the $50 billion price tag became $90 billion, and DCNS announced the amount of Australian built componentry would be less than first envisaged. The 2030 to 2050 timeline for delivery of the 12 submarines would ensure they were rendered obsolete by unmanned drones and cyber warfare long before they entered the water. Cost and function be damned, our sovereignty obsessed federal government persisted. The supply contract with the French had a clause naming September 2021 as the point at which Australia could exit the contract for a large penalty or exit past September for a colossal penalty.

And let’s not forget these French submarines were designed for nuclear power but now were to be re-engineered to diesel electric power at Australia’s request. Which brings us to where we are now – with no confirmation of the cost of breaking the contract (French media is reporting at least AU$140 million) and the government anchoring us to nuclear powered submarines via the new AUKUS pact with the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The press conference language was heavy on strategic alliance, national interests and volatile regional pressures, yet light on specifics such as costs and timeline. Certainly there was no mention of against whom the submarines would be deployed. The submarines on our shopping list are the US Virginia class or British Astute class submarines, both are First Strike Weapons with the ability to carry nuclear missiles. Australia is slated to build 8 submarines in South Australia, and according to PM Morrison “maximising the use of Australian workers.” Morrison lauded the stealth, endurance and speed capabilities that nuclear power brings to ‘’protect shared values and promote security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.’’ Morrison denied there is any plan to acquire nuclear weapons, claiming Australia will stick to its nuclear non-proliferation com-

mitments. Morrison has given no detail on where the nuclear engineering expertise to manufacture and maintain what he called ‘’next generation’’ onboard reactors will come from. So, to be clear, the Federal Government botched the French deal, committed us to submarines that are designed for nuclear weapons but won’t have them, doesn’t have clarity on the expertise to manufacture and maintain nuclear reactors, wants to keep the late 2030’s timeline quiet, but is happy to bask in the reflected patriotism of the AUKUS pact. This same government has the power to decide amongst itself if Australia goes to war: no consultation with the Australian people is required. None of the AUKUS pageantry or press releases named the real reason for phase 2 of the submarine boondoggle – China. The expanding military pres-

ence of China in the South China Sea and increased cyber attacks by China on Western corporations and infrastructure (coupled with a dose of xenophobia and Covid conspiracy theory) is fuelling tension with the United States; or what Morrison calls Indo-Pacific security challenges. Minister of Defence Peter Dutton on the other hand has recently been increasingly strident in his criticism of China, even going as far as not ruling out the prospect of war with China and that conflict was a risk Australia had to be prepared for. Having just exited a failed invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, wouldn’t this be the perfect time for a period of introspection on the part of the West? As for Afghanistan, the question must be asked – what does the West think war with China looks like? As former Prime Minister Paul Keating remarked last week, the Taliban used pickup trucks and AK47 rifles to force the surrender of the USA and its Allies; what are our chances against the vast Chinese military? Is a ground invasion of China with the surrender of its 1.45 billion people part of the plan? Long range nuclear missiles? Neither of these scenarios have any basis in the real world. They certainly aren’t compatible with the longterm wellbeing of humanity. We are at an unknown point in the timeline of a global pandemic,

yet leaders including ex-Queensland copper Dutton and eschatologist Morrison chose this time to escalate tensions with our largest trading partner and further entangle us in blind American exceptionalism and profligate spending on the machinery of war. Collateral damage to our historic relations with France and New Zealand was apparently an afterthought. We lease part of the Darwin port and sell large agribusinesses to the Chinese in private, yet call China a sovereign threat in public. Via globalization we love cheaply made Chinese goods, whilst wanting a war with China to keep their trade routes to us open. The whole situation would be farcical if it did not have deadly consequences. In the place of diplomacy, tolerance and forbearance, we are seeing Cold War era style posturing which will profit only war-mongers and power-hungry politicians. Expecting more than posturing from our Prime Minister is foolhardy. Recently Morrison stage managed the song ‘Danger Zone’ from the Top Gun movie to be played on loudspeakers when he entered a hangar at Williamtown RAAF Base to view the first Australian F35 jet fighter. Morrison’s juvenile relationship to the military is obvious, and reminiscent of Trump’s ego-boosting theatrics. Australians deserve a better quality of leadership than this. z Greg Smart is a Dubbo local who passionately follows global political trends.

Dubbo’s rockin’ it By JOHN RYAN EXPLORING Dubbo’s walking paths has been one of the few activities families with younger children have had available to them during the Covid-19 lockdowns and a local group has turned these humble strolls into a real adventure outing. Dubbo Rocks 2830 is part of a nationwide movement where people paint rocks in all shades and patterns and hide them in parks and along walking tracks. Kids find the rocks, take a photo of them and then re-hide the stones so the fun and enjoyment of discovery is passed on to the next intrepid trekkers.

Hemant Jadhav took this photo of daughter Mahi (6) at the north end of the South Lakes walking track: “It surprises kids,” Hemant told Dubbo Photo News.

Zoe Riley said her daughter Georgia teamed up with cousin, Braxton, to have plenty of fun ﬁnding these cool painted rocks. “My daughter and I have been walking the path at South Lakes and she has so much fun looking for the rocks on our walks,” Zoe said.

Ella Vermeulen was only too pleased to show Dubbo Photo News two of the two rocks she and her mum Engela have painted. They enjoy painting rocks and then hiding them at Delroy Park duck pond.

Downsizing is a big step, it’s important to plan well Mudgee’s Perfectly Sorted founder Ali Broinowski offers many services to help people enjoy their homes including moving and downsizing. “We can help with sourcing new furniture which suits both the size and style of a new, smaller home, along with packing, unpacking and storage arrangements. We can also help prepare to sell a client’s current home - ensuring the best price so they have more opportunity to put more in the bank for later, as they may no longer be working or are working less.” One of the biggest downsizing mistakes Ali has seen peo-

ple do, is wait too long. “People may stay too long in a house which is unsuitable whether it be due to flights of stairs, or too large a house or garden. This makes the whole process more stressful. We like to work on weekly visits for large projects - giving a breather between days of sorting and packing.” Ali aims her clients to feel in control of the process and looking forward to a new exciting chapter in life.

Join the harvest with Programmed Skilled Workforce

To help with this season’s harvest, get in touch with Programmed Skilled Workforce team Andrew and Kate by calling 02 63949500. Photo: Supplied

One of the biggest challenges facing Dubbo Programmed Skilled Workforce account managers Andrew Foley and Kate Bingley are filling gaps left by backpackers and interstate grey nomads who just aren’t around this year to help with harvest. “With Covid-19, we need to call our local and regional workforce into action to join in on the harvest adventure and make this a successful harvest year for all of us who live and work in this region,” Mr Foley said. Dubbo region has many jobs at many grain handling sites to be filled by everyone from school leavers, semi retired or anyone willing to give it a go and help farmers get their crops onto the trains and off to the markets. “For example, we still have some great Harvest work available in Narromine like grain samplers, weighbridge operators, grain handlers and administration staff,” Mr Foley said. “All these roles come with training onsite prior to Harvest. The best part is that Narromine is on our doorstep, so you can sleep in your own bed at night.” To find work, visit programmed.com. au/jointheharvest or call 02 63949500. Have a resume, passport or birth certificate and reference details ready.

10 REASONS to love the Oak Tree Lifestyle We understand that moving to a retirement village is a major decision with many different factors to weigh up. Once new residents are settled, we frequently hear their only regret was not moving sooner! Here are 10 reasons why our residents love living at Oak Tree. 1. Low-maintenance living. At Oak Tree, we take care of all general maintenance, repairs and garden care. This allows you to spend more time doing the things you love! 2. Financial upsides. Downsizing to a village is usually less expensive than a strata titled home, and can help free up equity while also avoiding the cost of stamp duty and GST. Our simple weekly fee covers most of

your regular outgoings, giving you more budget certainty. 3. Stay social. You’ll be surrounded by like-minded people with facilities and activities that make the process of creating a new social circle easier. Invite your friends and family, be as social as you like and enrich your retirement doing more of the things you love. Take comfort knowing that a caring neighbour or helping hand is never far away. 4. Retain your independence. Our villas are more manageable than traditional family homes and have also been designed to enable easy future modifications, such as mobility assistance devices, if required.

YOUR HEARING IS INCREDIBLE!

Consider all of the factors that go into ensuring that you can hear all the sounds in your environment. Your ears pick up sound around you, your auditory system quickly recognises the loudness, pitch, location and your brain works to process and make sense of the information it receives. With healthy hearing, you can easily take in sounds like laughter, music, nature or conversations with family and friends. Hearing these sounds helps make moments more memorable and life more enjoyable.

ELDER ABUSE can be physical, emotion, VH[XDO RU ÀQDQFLDO

Elder abuse can take many forms. It can be physical, emotional, sexual or financial. Often it is a combination of these. The most common form of elder abuse is financial, which often occurs alongside emotional or psychological abuse. Abusers are most often family members, such as an adult, spouse or grandchild. But it can also be a friend, neighbour, paid carer or volunteer. Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. If you are worried

about your situation, or that of someone else, you can contact 1800 353 374 or talk with us at the Community Legal Centre on 1800 655 927. As people get older, it is not unusual for them to become more reliant on others and, therefore, more vulnerable to abuse or neglect. With 20 percent of Australians expected to be aged over 65 by 2050, it is increasingly urgent that we learn to recognise and deal with the problem of elder abuse.

Redefining Retirement in Regional Australia With humble country upbringings, the founders and directors of the Oak Tree Group understand the importance of being able to thrive in the community you know and love. When Mark Bindon and Franco De Pasquale founded the Oak Tree Group in 2004, they didn’t set out to be ‘the biggest’, but to be the very best in independent senior living. Almost 20 years later and 31 locations, the motivation is the same, to provide Australian seniors with relaxed, secure and low-maintenance retirement options.

“Oak Tree villages offer quality and stylishly built homes with modern conveniences ensuring residents are not compromising on home comfort and quality but are upgrading their lifestyle to an all-inclusive experience. Oak Tree villas also come complete with maintenance services, social activities, and recreational facilities”, says Mark Bindon.

Located in the beautiful Yarrawonga Estate, Oak Tree Retirement Village Dubbo opened in 2018 and is currently developing its third stage of sixteen villas. The contemporary and sophisticated villas boast a spacious open plan feel, generous modern bathroom, internal laundry and private outdoor courtyard adjoining the main living area for a seamless ﬂow between indoor and outdoor living.

Oak Tree Residents Rhondda and David are currently enjoying all boutique retirement living has to offer at Oak Tree Dubbo. They chose it because of the lovely setting and because it offers every comfort and convenience they could want. For them, the fact that it’s in a retirement community is an added bonus.

For managing director Mark Bindon, comfort and convenience are key to downsizing without compromise.

“We’d seen an advertisement for Oak Tree about 12 months earlier and one day out of the blue we decided we’d go and have a look,” says Rhondda. “As soon as we walked in, we were sold on the place and put our house on the market.”

“We’ve made many friends already and David and I have a lovely busy schedule. For example, this week we have mosaics on Monday and Wednesday. David and I have been doing mosaics together for about four years and we are introducing it to other residents. The management here has given us some space and furniture so we can get together as a group and get busy.” With like-minded friends and neighbours nearby, our residents always have companionship and an on-tap support network which they can grow to trust and rely on as their needs and circumstances change. With old friends, new friends, and a community you feel safe and secure in, you’ll be proud to call Oak Tree Dubbo home.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY BRAIN PAGES Quiz

World languages

Why is the

sky blue?

1. There’s no sound in outer space Space is completely silent because there’s no air, water or other matter for sound waves to travel through.

1. WHAT’S THE MOST WIDELY SPOKEN NATIVE LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD? a) English b) Mandarin c) Spanish

2. Sound can be used to measure water depth Scientists use a device called sonar, which stands for Sound Navigation And Ranging, to measure water depth. The device sends sound waves to the bottom of the ocean and measures how long it takes for them to return. Sound waves that return quickly indicate the water is shallow, whereas sound waves that return slowly suggest that the water is deep.

2. APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ARE SPOKEN IN INDONESIA? a) 100 b) 400 c) 700

4. IN WHICH U.S. STATE DO SOME PEOPLE SPEAK FRENCH? a) Louisiana b) Wisconsin c) Illinois

about sound Did you know that your ears continue to detect sound while you’re asleep and that your left and right ears process noise differently? Here are four more interesting facts about sound you might not know.

Did you know that more than 7000 languages are spoken around the world? Here’s a short quiz to test your knowledge about this subject.

3. WHAT ARE THE THREE OFFICIAL LANGUAGES OF BELGIUM? a) French, Spanish and Danish b) French, Dutch and German c) French, English and Finnish

4 fascinating facts

3. The loudest sound ever heard was the eruption of a volcano The sound of the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia erupting in 1883 was heard as far as 5000 kilometres away. 4. Sound travels quicker in water than it does in air Although humans can’t hear well underwater, sound waves travel four times faster through water than air. They move even quicker in solids like stone, iron and steel. Additionally, not all sound waves can be heard by people. Ultrasound waves and infrasound waves can be detected by animals like dolphins and whales but can’t be heard by humans.

The sky is blue because of the way sunlight interacts with the atmosphere. Light is actually made up of all the colours of the rainbow. Once combined, these colours are transformed into white light, which travels in a straight line through the atmosphere until it hits an obstacle. There are billions of tiny molecules ﬂoating around in the atmosphere. When white light hits them, it splits into different colours. However, instead of appearing orange, green or purple, the sky looks blue. This is because the oxygen molecules in the sky only absorb and diffuse blue light, making the sky appear blue to the human eye.

Visualisation: a toOl that can lead to sucCesS ANSWERS: 1. b) There are more than one billion people who speak Mandarin as their ﬁrst language, compared to nearly 500 million who speak Spanish and about 400 million who speak English. 2. c) More than 700 languages are spoken across the country’s more than 13,500 islands. 3. b) Belgium is divided into language zones or regions. 4. a) Some schools in Louisiana are taught entirely in French.

Visualisation is a mental tool that anyone can take advantage of to help them achieve posi-tive results. By imagining yourself being successful at a task you want to complete, you’re more likely to attain the desired outcome. Here’s an overview of what you should know about using visualisation.

What it is Visualisation involves imagining actions you’re about to take. All you need to do is close your eyes and concentrate on picturing yourself performing each movement. You can also try doing some of the gestures with your eyes closed. Visualisation is particularly effective if it’s done in the space where the performance or event will take place.

Reasons to use it Visualisation improves communication between the neurons in your brain and your mus-cles. It can help increase your conﬁdence and motivation, as well as keep you calm and focused before an important event.

When to use it You can use visualisation to help you successfully execute a gymnastics routine, dance number, music production or other performance. You can also use it prior to giving a speech, auditioning for a show, competing in a race or participating in any other type of event to help you attain positive results. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying to use the power of visualisation to achieve your goals.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY BRAIN PAGES 3 unique sports from around the world Chocolate If you love to move your body and stay active, here are three sports from around the world that may inspire you to change up your routine. 1. Sepak takraw. This is a popular sport in various Asian countries, especially Thailand. Sepak takraw is played on a badminton court and has some similarities to both volleyball and soccer. Two teams of three players must work together to pass the ball across the net using any part of their body except their arms and hands.

points. To prove they haven’t taken a breath, the raider must repeatedly yell the word kabaddi. 3. Hurling. This is an outdoor team sport that originated in Ireland. Hurling is played between two teams of 15 players who are known as hurlers. Each hurler uses a hurley or camán (a stick) to compete over the sliotar (a ball) on a long ﬁeld with goals at each end. Players attempt to score points by carrying the sliotar across the pitch and shooting it into the opponent’s goal.

TRIVIA QUIZ If you love chocolate, here’s a little quiz to see how much you know about this popular treat. Multiple choice 1. What’s the name of the tree that grows cocoa beans? a) Cacao tree b) Choco tree c) Coco tree 2. What kind of fruit does this tree produce? a) Cocoa beans b) Cocoa pods c) Cocoa balls 3. Where is most of the cocoa in chocolate grown today? a) South America b) West Africa c) Southeast Asia

2. Kabaddi. This is a contact sport commonly played in India. Two teams of seven players take turns raiding and defending. During the raiding phase, the designated raider must take a breath and run into the opposition’s half of the ﬁeld and tag one or more players on the opposing team. They must do this and return to their own half of the ﬁeld before inhaling again to earn

These three sports have been played for generations, but new ones are constantly being invented. Consider trying any of these games or inventing one of your own.

True or false 4. White chocolate doesn’t contain any cocoa. 5. The Swiss invented cocoa powder. 6. The Germans created the ﬁrst chocolate bar.

Do black panthers realLy exist? Did you know that black panthers aren’t actually their own species of cat? Here’s some information about these felines that may surprise you.

A genetic mutation

A practical characteristic For some felines, a black coat can be an advantage when hunting. Melanism allows these wildcats to camouﬂage themselves in the jungle at night and surprise their prey. This type of pigmentation also helps wildcats avoid certain infections. Consequently, it’s not surprising that this trait continues to be passed down, making melanism a relatively common mutation. In addition to big cats, several other animals can sometimes be affected by melanism including wolves, dolphins and alligators.

ANSWERS: 1. a) Cacao trees grow in tropical climates and can be harvested twice a year. 2. b) Cocoa pods look like small footballs and can contain up to 40 cocoa beans. 3. b) Today, more than 70 per cent of the world’s cocoa comes from Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and other West African countries. 4. True. It’s made of cocoa butter, sugar, milk and vanilla. 5. False. It was a Dutchman named Coenraad Johannes van Houten. He patented the process of removing the butter from roasted cocoa beans in 1828. 6. False. It was three English brothers named Joseph, Richard and Francis Fry. They discovered that it was possible to create moulded chocolate by adding cocoa butter.

The term black panther refers to any wildcat, such as a leopard, jaguar or cougar, that has melanism. This condition occurs when big cats produce an excessive amount of melanin, a pigment that turns their fur and skin black. However, if you look closely, you’ll notice they aren’t completely black. These animals still have the typical markings of their species, which is masked but not eliminated by the excess of black pigment.

PAPARAZZI SPECIAL

Who’s a clever cocky! ›› You can’t get much more Australian than this – a pair of cockatoos opening the lid of a wheelie bin! The photo comes from a team of scientists who have proven that cockatoos can learn this unique skill from each other, so they can gather food. The research was published recently in “Science”, and was the result of a collaboration in-cluding scientists from the Taronga Conservation Society and Australian Museum. Dubbo Photo News wonders if any of our readers have photographed other animals doing clever things. Feel free to send us your pics and a quick explanation to photos@ dubbophotonews.com.au ‹‹ Early Christmas present? Some presents are hard to wrap. Take the Arc de Triomphe in Par-is, for example. It was fully wrapped and being enjoyed by Parisians last weekend as part of an art installation entitled “L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped” conceived by the late artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. It was also Car-free Sunday in Paris on the same day, which explains the huge crowd on the on the Champs Elysees. Paparazzi has looked. Very closely at this photo and we can’t see a submarine-lover and/or Aussie-hater anywhere ;)

What is it? If you were snorkelling along an Australian coastline, you’d be forgiven for over-looking this rounded object on the sea ﬂoor. Believe it or not, it’s alive! It’s an Australian Thornback Skate. This photo was part of a gallery released this week to coincide with the publication of the “Action Plan for Australian Sharks and Rays 2021”. Sadly, the publication comes with a warning: lead author, Charles Darwin University senior research fellow Dr Pe-ter Kyne, says severe population declines are driving some species toward extinction and urgent action is needed. “The ﬁrst complete assessment of extinction risk for all Australian sharks, rays and ghost sharks reveals Australia is home to more than a quarter of shark species on the planet, but 12 per cent of those are at risk of extinction,” a statement says.

Julie Lincoln believes that when life gets tough in lockdown, her pets have the situation un-der control in a way most humans can only envy. “Baby goat Little Harriet and security dog Ruby take a good nap on the lounge and let the situation take care of itself,” she told Dubbo Photo News. Little Harriet is a twin left behind by her mother when she was a few days old. Now aged one-year-old, she’s apparently very sweet and likes to be close to “Maa” and “Paa”. “She is the reincarnation of an old friend called Harry who wanted to come back as an ani-mal on our place,” kelpie cross who guards the yard and Julie said. greets visitors with mixed reactions.

COMPLETE EACH GRID WITH NUMBERS FROM 1 TO 6, KEEPING IN MIND THAT: - a number can only appear once per row - a number can only appear once per column - a number can only appear once in each box of 6 squares

MEGA MAZE

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

SUDOKU EXTRA

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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE z Baritone Leonard Warren died on stage at The Met in 1960 just as he finished singing Verdi’s “Morir, Tremenda Cosi” (“To Die, a Momentous Thing”). z While shedding, geckos will eat their skin in order to prevent predators from finding and eating them more easily. z A man named Ronald MacDonald robbed a Wendy’s in 2005. z In the early 2000s, when hackers were not that rampant, a survey showed that 70 per cent of London commuters would reveal their computer password in exchange for a choco-late bar, while 30 per cent of the respondents admitted they would give their password even without said sweets. z The sequel to the 1953 film titled “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was called “Gentlemen Marry Brunettes”.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION z Per capita, the happiest countries in the world also rank highest in terms of consumers of antidepressants. z The term “plastic surgery” was coined in 1839, 70 years before plastic was even invented. It comes from the Greek word “plastike” which means “the art of modelling” of malleable ﬂesh. z Journalist John Richards founded The Apostrophe Protection Society in 2001 to enforce the proper use of the apostrophe in written English. He closed the society in 2019, however, at the age of 96, with the announcement that “the ignorance and laziness present in modern times have won!” z The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends avoiding drinking camel urine to pre-vent contracting Middle East respiratory syndrome. z Abibliophobia is the fear of running out of material to read.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z If you need to pick up small shards of glass, use a cotton ball that’s been moistened, or a slice of white bread (insides only) wadded up. Be VERY careful to discard it all safely in the rubbish immediately. z Glass and chrome will shine if you clean them with newspaper. You can mist the paper with water first, but not too much. Rub... and the shine comes right out, plus no streaks or lint! z “Use purified water in your coffeemaker to lengthen its life. Water deposits build up and affect both the flavour and function of your machine. They can be cleaned, but it’s much better if you use purified drinking water from a jug. It makes it very easy to fill the machine, too.” – M.E. z “Purchase colourful laundry

baskets for each child in your home. In the evening, you can have the child ﬁnd all his or her stray items, put them in the basket and then put them away. In our house, the kids also use their basket to hold anything they need for school the next day – backpack, extra clothes, hats, even boots. We stack the baskets by the door, and nothing gets left behind.” – P.W. z When you are frying up ground beef, add a tablespoon or two of water. It will help the excess grease to pull away from the meat, making it easier to drain off. z “To speed the healing of bruises, try eating pineapple. Drink lots of water, too. I play con-tact sports, and this has always helped me.” – R.E.

Physie students seeing stars in lockdown By JOHN RYAN VOLUNTEERS behind Orana Physical Culture have put lessons learned from last year’s lockdowns into practice to once again use online classes to keep the 2021 cohort on track with the syllabus according to publicity officer Margaret Lynch. She told Dubbo Photo News the physie teachers have kept in contact with their students via zoom adding some surprises to bring extra excitement into this dance world. “Teacher Kristy Hubbard liaised and brought to our Orana zoom community the NSW Physical Culture age champions, who then worked in sharing their expertise and performance skills,’ she said. “These physie stars Sophia Murray, Hadley Simonelli, Imogen Stanley, Mia Fahy and Zoe Turner were honoured, via their age championship status as video girls on the 2021 demonstration DVD.” But that’s not all – Kristy also organised a coaching opportunity from a Newcastle dance studio with Kristin Scott, a 13-time National Physical Culture Championship winner.

“Her “stretch and strengthen” routines positively enhance core strength and flexibility,” Mrs Lynch said. “Under the current Covid-19 lockdown restrictions these online connections, with the superstars of this sport, have nurtured a number of positive highlights and interactions. Lots of planning went into organising an opportunity for the girls to put their well-practiced routines in front of an audience with the club’s annual ribbon competition. Mrs Lynch said with all the hurdles presented by distance learning and the challenges of internet connections, the club managed to run a display day thanks to the behindthe-scenes efforts of the volunteer teachers. “Bless their souls,” she said. “There were a few teething problems but thankfully all the members were given a chance to perform for their very proud extended families as well as clubmates watching on. “The club membership, committee and teachers combined to present three terms of work to an appreciative parent and friends community.”

Age is just a number By GEOFF MANN TODAY we pay tribute to those for whom the date on a birth certificate is merely a starting point for a life spent running and jumping, pitching and putting

and making sure others had the same opportunities. They’ve overcome injuries and other setbacks and two years of pandemics but they still find the energy and enthusiasm to stay actively connected through sport.

League’s end leaves premierships vacant By GEOFF MANN RUGBY league has joined other sports in calling an end to the season. The decision handed down by the NSWRL had been anticipated although clubs in the Castlereagh League, Groups 11 and 10 and the Woodbridge Cup were holding out hopes that there may be a small window of opportunity in which to decide their trophy winners. Dubbo CYMS claimed Group XI Minor Premiership honours in three of the four grades with Macquarie the leading team in the Reserve grade competition. Wellington still holds the Shield since their historic win in 2019 and last year’s non-event so they will go into their third season as defending premiers when play resumes in April next year. Cobar finished the Castlereagh League as minor premiers but the Roosters were denied the opportunity to convert it into their first actual premiership in that competition because of Covid. Dunedoo Swans were hoping to make it back-to-back although the stakes were high with Gilgandra Panthers, Gulgong and Coonabarabran all regarded as prospective champions. Orange CYMS first season under local junior Dan Mortimer was

headed for a satisfactory conclusion before the stay at home orders. The versatile former Eels, Roosters, Gold Coast Titans, Sharks and English Super League veteran had rebuilt his junior club but will have to be satisfied with the Minor Premiership this season. Bathurst Panthers were tracking for three in a row but faced strong challenges from Mudgee, St Pats and Orange Hawks. Next season a new structure covering the entire Western region will be introduced meaning the Group 11 and 10 competitions will be played as normal but top teams from each will be pitted against each other for the inaugural Peter McDonald Cup. In the Woodbridge Cup, Manildra Rhinos were aiming to end the run of Trundle Boomers. They are another club to settle for topping the ladder but there are plenty of hungry Tigers (Canowindra), Boomers, Bulls (Molong) and Golden Eagles (Eugowra) who are aiming to use the long off-season to set their sights on the 2022 premiership. The only rugby league titles to be decided in the Western Rams region went to Charles Sturt Uni. The Mungoes (men) and Mungals (women) defeated Orange United in late July to create their own piece of history.

Dubbo College regains Astley Cup after ‘unusual’ year By GEOFF MANN

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH/FILE

AFTER downing Bathurst at home in round one the Dubbo team was hoping to seal the 2022 Cup in Orange. Their hopes of a clean sweep were dashed by the powerful black and gold jerseys from Orange High. When only the first day of competition between Bathurst and Orange was able to be conducted because of

snow and then Covid took its toll, the rescheduled second day was unable to go ahead and Dubbo College was declared the winner. In this nearly 100-year-old inter-schools competition, the oldest and longest-running in Australia, this is only the second or third time the complex table of rules had to be called into play to decide the winners. When Dubbo’s total points

from their two completed ties were assessed against those of Orange and Bathurst the red and black army went wild. The two eastern schools were allocated shared points for their non-completed day, hence a win for Astley Cup tragic and Dubbo College Coordinator Craig May and his passionate band of teachers, students and supporters. “Esse Esse Quam Videri – To be, rather than to seem”

Pete was an all round champion! By GEOFF MANN DUBBO lost ‘one in a million’ last week when Peter Duffy passed peacefully into the next life. Pete was considered a champion for clients he represented through his legal practice, a champion for ‘the battlers’, a champion sportsman, administrator and most of all, a champion in life. The 87-year-old solicitor earned a reputation for his genuine warmth and care for his clients in his professional and community life but on the footy field and in the pool it was a different story! Peter began his working life at MJ Duffy and Sons, the family business brokered by his grandfather and father Tom. He worked alongside his brother Michael before his untimely death at a young age before retiring due to ill health just over a decade ago. The tradition was continued through son Simon and nephew Robert and these days is known as DuffyElliott Lawyers. Peter and wife of 60 years -”it would have been 61 this December” – were blessed with eight children – Simon, Sara, Damian, Saul, Aram, twins Asher and Abram and Ezra (deceased).

The children shared their father’s passion for sport, the boys excelling in rugby at St Joseph’s Hunters Hill and with the Dubbo Kangaroos; the girls at netball, basketball and in the pool. Eldest son Simon represented the Country Cockatoos and both he and Damien played for and coached Roos’ premiership winning teams. Peter loved swimming and trained at the Dubbo Olympic Pool and other venues as he moved around the west. He was a member of Dubbo’s powerful Country and State Championship water polo sides and stepped in as the Amateur Swimming Club President for a number of years. “Duff” always loved playing footy with his mates at De La Salle (league) and when he studied at Joeys Hunters Hill where he fell in love with rugby. The solid hooker-forward played in the first 15 and continued at university. He maintained his keen interest in the Dubbo Rugby Club throughout his entire life, a supporter who was not afraid to share his insights on the highs and lows of the teams coached for a time by his sons. On his return to Dubbo in the 1950s he played under brother-in-law Keith Dea-

con in the Group XI competition, his skills earning a spot in the front row during a very competitive era. He had spells with Coonabarabran and Canowindra while he was learning his profession in those communities. A friend from his playing days with the Canowindra Tigers, Eddie Clyburn, recalled Pete’s wonderful sense of team and his ability to reach out to those around him. He told me “Duff” was inclusive, tough and fair and is remembered for coaching the Tigers Under 18s to the Premiership in 1965. “Jack Earsman was our future star and half Ryan kicked us to a 19-7 win over a CYMS team that included future Group XI stars Geoff Miller, Neil Dodd, Johnny Yeo as well as NSW hooker Kel Brown.” Funnily enough Neil Dodd is the grandfather of current Penrith (soon Bulldogs) star Matt Burton and Larry Robinson, the father of future Wallaby Beau. Pete took a keen interest in both of those young players' blossoming careers and many of the Dubbo boys who have made it to the top in either code. Pete was known for his gentleness, compassion and love for others. He lived his life of faith to the full, often reaching

out to those who were doing it tough with advice and personal support. He grew up in a devout Catholic family and together with wife Marie, contributed generously in the lives of fellow parishioners. He was known for his ready smile and outreach. His keen sense of humour extended to the practise of his faith. “Each year I give up Marie for Lent. I hardly see her for that period because she’s always at the church!” These few words hardly do justice to a local legend. We are all the richer for having known Peter Duffy and his legacy will remain through his family and in many unseen places where he touched people’s lives. Everyone will have their own memories of this humble champion. Dubbo says thank you for your lifetime of service. z Peter Duffy, 87, son of Tom and Betty, married Marie Schuman in December 1961. z Siblings – Michael (deceased), Mary Deacon, Jean North, Paul Duffy and Elizabeth Davidson z The farewell Mass will be live streamed this Friday, September 24, at stbrigidsdubbo.com
