WAVE TO A

TRUCKIE! By JOHN RYAN Trucks keep the food on our table, and pretty much everything else we depend upon to live normal lives in 2021 spends at least some time on the back of a truck. Yet the industry and many truckies feel they’re looked down on and treated as second-class citizens by the rest of the population. Dubbo trucking operator Sally Tipping has founded the ”Wave to a Truckie” campaign and hopes that raising awareness of the difficulties faced by those in the industry will encourage people across Australia to be just a little bit kinder to our freight and delivery drivers. This week Dubbo Photo News showcases some of the local families and identities who have done so much to keep the nation’s wheels rolling. ››PAGE 4

MAYOR CALLS ON ICAC TO INVESTIGATE ISSUES By NATALIE LEWIS

ALLEGATIONS of councillor misconduct at Dubbo Regional Council will be made public, according to Mayor Stephen Lawrence, who plans to report wrongdoings to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) before he leaves office in December. Cr Lawrence spoke with Dubbo Photo News following Monday’s September ordinary meeting where it was revealed that the findings of an independent

investigation by Pinnacle Integrity into council’s Code of Conduct would not yet be reported to the community. The report was tabled for public release but has been delayed by the need to seek specialist legal advice. Acting upon this guidance, council has now submitted a proposal to the Office of Local Government to release a redacted copy of the report in the near future, hopefully before the October ordinary meeting.

“I understand that people want the report released,” Cr Lawrence said. “But we are not yet in a position to release the report. The report has to be redacted and can’t be released.” The report addresses how council’s Code of Conduct process went awry, and as such, the organisation has amended its councillor and staff interaction policy along with lodgement of annual disclosure of interest returns. When it’s released, Cr Lawrence said “the community will get an

understanding of how the Code of Conduct failed and in what ways it was mishandled”. “What they won’t get is what the allegations were that were mishandled and who they were made against and who got the benefit from gross misconduct.” To address allegations made against individuals, the investigation needs to be moved into a different phase, according to NSW legislation. “The independent investigators were brought in to investigate

the processes of council’s Code of Conduct,” Cr Lawrence explained. “That’s why I’m calling for a public investigation by ICAC to look into serious systemic issues. ICAC is the only body with sufficient power to provide that. “Only a public ICAC investigation will restore public confidence in council and its processes. “My commitment to the community is that I will not leave office in December until I have done everything possible to make that happen,” Cr Lawrence said.

Dubbo agents pass real estate crackdown RESIDENTS, renters and investors in Dubbo can rest assured no local agents have been caught up in a statewide NSW Fair Trading real estate compliance crackdown that saw a number of licences scrapped. The specialised operation to target breaches of trust account rules resulted in the cancellation of eight real estate agents’ licences and more than $173,000 in fines for failing to comply. Most of the 20 agents pinged for failing to lodge trust account audits are Sydney based. Trust accounts are made up entirely of consumers’ funds, with 100 per cent belonging to the consumer, so as NSW Fair Trading says, it’s critical for the agents who manage the trusts to stick to the rules. According to a spokesperson for the state-based consumer watchdog, trust account fraud is the number one offence for which real estate agents are prosecuted in NSW.

Given a second chance at living By JOHN RYAN STEPHEN Colwell says he’s dodged the Grim Reaper and he’s not looking back. While he’s now determined to make the most of each and every day, he also wants to publicly thank those first responders and medical staff who saved his life. The Wellington local, 54, says he was working in his garden two weeks ago when he felt dizzy, so he stopped to grab a bite for lunch and have a bit of a rest. “As I began to eat I felt chest pain and throbbing in my arms and shoulders which I put down to a reaction to my second Covid-19 second vaccination,” Mr Colwell told Dubbo Photo News. “The pain worsened and I was vomiting so I reluctantly rang an ambulance, not wanting to waste their time, and the paramedics promptly arrived and informed me I was having a major heart attack!” Within a short time the ambulance had delivered him to Orange Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery and while he was on the table his doctors noticed the main artery in his heart, which he calls “the widow maker”, was also 80 per cent blocked. “I was operated on again two days later by RPA cardiologist James Weaver who said if they had sent me home I would be dead,” Mr Colwell said. “I was just so lucky and grateful after he stated “I’ve just given you a second chance of life and added

another 35 years”.” Mr Colwell says his gratitude to the first paramedics on scene can never be properly explained. “I had no idea, and honestly began preparing to die but the two ambulance officers were fantastic and so nice,” he said. “I just can’t remember their names but owe them so much and want to thank them – from the Triple Zero call to the nurses, can I send hugs and thanks to

everyone, they were so kind. “I’ve only been here seven months and don’t know many people but my neighbours have been true, caring neighbours who looked after my little dog and mowed the lawn. I’m alone and have depression and my dog and my garden are my life!” Mr Colwell is now back home and about to start a 10-week cardiac rehabilitation. He’s back in his garden but may need help in

lifting and digging. “I’m also looking forward to joining the Dubbo Heart walking and social group after Covid-19 as well as the Dubbo Mental Health Support Group,” he said. “Can I stress to everyone that if you have the slightest arm or chest pain, don’t man up and ignore the symptoms, call Triple Zero immediately. “Apart from that, enjoy every day you have as life is so short and I’m testimony to that!”

Keeping connected the Kintyre way

ADVERTORIAL

After more than a month in Covid-19 enforced “lockdown”, our residents at Kintyre Living are becoming quite skilled at staying actively connected in innovative, socially distanced ways. Here at Kintyre Living, we’re all about providing a safe, secure and supportive environment without compromising on the other important aspects of a happy, healthy lifestyle, like social interaction, keeping active and engaged and enjoying retirement in your own individual way. We’ve worked with residents to come up with different ways to have Covid-safe contact and engagement, and as you can see, our residents might be socially distanced but they’re certainly not isolated! This week, we held the very popular “Carpark Café” which saw residents get together in groups of five in the warm spring sunshine to enjoy a coffee and a chat – coming together but staying apart and Covid-safe. Some have been enjoying a socially-distanced catch-up over a game of Mah-jong, while others have taken advantage of the beautiful weather and Kintyre’s gorgeous gardens to take a walk together to keep physically and mentally active even during lockdown. And what says “spring” more than a spot of tennis in the sunshine, a social game of bowls and a Covid-safe barbecue with mates? It’s all here and happening! At Kintyre Living, we know that staying connected is part of a happy, healthy lifestyle and we’re not about to let a global pandemic stop residents from living life their way!

IN BRIEF

SUNNY DAYS TO COME WELLINGTON is battling a spike in Covid-19 cases at the moment and residents are suffering from being locked up and unable to visit friends and family, but Dubbo Photo News hopes

brighter times are ahead in the not-too-distant future. We send a “cheerio” to Wellington, along with this beautiful streetscape by Emy Lou, showing off some of the town’s rich heritage.

The night that rocked By JOHN RYAN WENDY Corney was the talk of the town this week after capturing footage of what’s reported to be a Chinese rocket launch that flew over Dubbo on Monday night. With husband Stephen, Wendy is an avid evening skywatcher, which she does from their small property to the east of the city, and says the experience was “amazing”. “It was really cool to watch. We didn’t know what it was and then we saw a part separate so I thought it might be a rocket,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “I rang the Defence Department but they didn’t know anything. I asked them if we were under

attack.” Wendy found it intriguing that the week after the Australian government signed a deal to buy nuclear

submarines from the USA, a Chinese rocket would be overflying our nation. She’s been watching the skies ever since, as a young girl, she saw an object noone could identify while watching her dad play soccer with some mates one evening in Western Sydney. From that incident, she was hooked. “All the time out on the farm, we spend at least two or three hours each night watching the sky,” she says. “We’ve seen so many unexplained things and one night we saw a meteor which wasn’t meant to be in our skies until the next week.” Luckily, Dubbo Photo News understands this isn’t a precursor to an alien invasion, so there will be no new aliens coming to town.

Lockdowns a bummer for bumper harvest DESPITE forecasts for a near-record harvest, farmers across the western region are facing a new foe this season. Having weathered drought and mice, they’re now scratching their heads as to how they’re going to get the bumper crop off and into the silos, with lockdowns having effectively applied a handbrake to one of the best harvests in recent memory. Continuing border restrictions have severely impacted the industry, with limited access to workers and reduced hours of operation of Covid-19 testing facilities. NSW Farmers is calling for a coordinated effort from governments to help ensure the bumper season isn’t wasted because of the restrictions. “It’s time the politicians put their differences aside and put in place some common-sense arrangements or we’ll see a manmade disaster unfold across the industry,” a spokesperson said. Growers in the north of the state have been reporting COVID testing sites either aren’t located in the right spots or aren’t open at appropriate times, and the need to line up for testing every few days is putting people off coming across the border for work.

Fifth ViceChancellor for CSU CHARLES Sturt University’s fifth Vice-Chancellor Renee Leon says she is honoured to be leading Australia’s leading regional university at a time when the regions are playing an increasingly visible and important national role. “Regional universities contribute hugely to regional development and sustainability, and it is exciting to join Charles Sturt University at a time when regional Australia is growing and evolving,” she said.

Wave to a truckie By JOHN RYAN IT’S been two years since Sally Tipping launched her Wave to a Truckie campaign, taking her first step by enlisting the help of a local graphic artist to design a sticker she could display on the Tippings Transport fleet as a small way of promoting the industry. She said the germ of an idea went ballistic, or in modern parlance viral, as soon as she stuck the stickers on the family company trucks. “When I posted a couple of photos on the Tipping’s Facebook page I was inundated with requests for my WAVE stickers, I quickly realised it needed its own identity and established a Wave To A Truckie page and website,” she told Dubbo Photo News. Sally felt she needed to do something to improve the image of an industry that is so vital to the nation, yet so disregarded by so many. “I have been a director of a local transport company for more than 30 years and have always been concerned at the negative public perception that continually swirls around the transport industry, in particular truck drivers. “I want to highlight the obstacles and hurdles a driver goes through to be able to safely complete their job and I believe by promoting the transport industry it will lead to safer, calmer roads and also encourage a strong and sustainable workforce. “I’ve had an overwhelming reaction and encouragement since inception. “It shows people are thinking the same and they also want to show a positive side to the transport industry. They want to see change in the way our industry is looked upon by the general public, understanding my vision.” As a relative newcomer to social media and with little understanding how algorithms work, Sally quickly became motivated to learn the intricacies of this new medium in order to gain as much reach as possible. In just two short years, she’s accumulated 22,000 followers and last month had a reach of three million, with 65 per cent of that audience Australian, coupled to a

quickly growing market of 20 per cent from North America. “I’m quite encouraged by this achievement. It’s something I do in my spare time and that is not being undertaken for any monetary gain,” she said, pointing out that her message is all about ensuring the mainstream public understands the complexities of a trucking life,” Sally says. “I don’t think the general public quite understands the logistics

involved in delivering everything that society needs, exactly what goes on behind the scenes to ensure the milk is in the fridge and the bread is on the shelf. “The truckie who has waited hours to load at a distribution centre, who ties a load on in the rain, who has to navigate road conditions, who can’t find a place to pull over for a rest or go to the toilet, who has time curfews and also has to deal with

another road user’s negativity – truckies should be recognised for their professionalism and performance.” Like many transport industry advocates, Sally is appalled at what so many truck drivers have been forced to endure during more than 18 months of Covid-19 lockdowns, border closures, social distancing regulations and the general sense of fear which has pervaded the entire community. “Truckies are classed as essential service workers, however during this pandemic their ability to perform their tasks has been very difficult,” she said. “Society has come to realise how crucial deliveries are and without trucks, supplies cannot be delivered. “Not only have truckies had to travel and load in hot spots, they have not been able to access toilets, rest areas or buy meals, all while being away from their families and dealing with the anxiety and vulnerability of this hideous virus. Their mental health has been suffering.” She says even at the best of times a truckie’s life is challenging, and maintains she remains in awe of their work ethic and patience. “They have a strength and resilience that transcends other professions. “However, there is nothing like being out on the open road, with the sun shining and the music playing, it can be a great life.” She’s hoping to see a culture shift amongst the Australian public, where people become just that little more tolerant and patient when seeing a truck on the road, where people understand that a truckie is just doing their job and that these heavy vehicle drivers are human beings who just want to do their jobs to get back home safely to their loved ones. “Even just a simple thank you goes a long way,” Mrs Tipping said. “At the moment with no handshaking, hugging or kissing and very little social interaction acceptable, waving is the next best thing! “We can all still wave! Wave to A Truckie – it’ll make you feel good and will make their day!”

Dubbo measured Vic earthquake By JAMES EDDY, HEAD OF SCIENCE, DUBBO COLLEGE SENIOR CAMPUS TEACHING science in the modern era has brought about technological opportunities that were unfathomable 20 years ago. Last week brought an excellent example of that to the fore. A decade ago, Duncan McDonald the Head of Science at Dubbo College Senior Campus at the time, tapped into an opportunity offered by the ANU in Canberra, to have a seismometer installed in a discreet little corner of the school. The image shown is a product of this from last Tuesday’s 5.9 Mw earthquake near Mt Buller. The data from this seismometer is continuously being fed to the ANU (along with 42 others from around the country) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is part of the bigger international project of understanding how the Earth works deep below our feet. For us at Dubbo College, it gives firsthand relevance and a richer level of engagement for our students studying Earth and Environmental Science, and we are grateful and proud of this. Our seismometer registers

The three graphs in the data apply to oscillations in a) the longitudinal plane, b) the latitudinal plane and c) the vertical plane. The red and orange lines mark the P-waves, blue lines mark the S-waves (that travel through the mantle layer) and the distracting scribble are the destructive L and R waves (which travel across the surface) that some people felt here in the Dubbo area, in real time.

every little Earth murmur across 2/3 of the planet (from most of Africa and Europe, to Russia, around the ‘Ring of Fire’ in the Pacific, across and down the West coast of North and South America). It also picks up the trucks driving on Yarrandale

Rd and our garden assistant as he mows the lawn. It will even detect when we bring a class in to visit it. But clearly, it’s the big events like Tuesday, September 21 that draw attention from the university boffins. The map below shows all the

seismic events that occurred just in our region that we could have obtained data on from just the ten days from Septmeber 14 to the 24th. Don’t panic, it looks like there are a lot but this is normal. The end of the world is a way off yet.

Rest and test site for local truckies By NATALIE LEWIS LOCAL transport manager Ben Pilon has approved of a freight-friendly Covid-19 testing site which is now operational on the Newell Highway near Dubbo. “It’s a good thing,” he said. “Without them, you can’t move anything. “Our guys use the showground facility and get a test every three days, it’s a necessity, especially if you are going interstate.” The testing facility at Dubbo is one of 12 sites across NSW helping to keep transport routes open and truck drivers safe during the pandemic. NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said more than 70,000 tests have been conducted since the first pop-up site opened at Tarcutta 12 months ago. “These testing sites have proven

invaluable in helping the freight industry meet the challenges of the Delta strain and make it easier for truckies and other freight workers to get tested and keep essential supplies moving across

NSW and interstate,” he said. “In the last two months alone, we’ve seen a 228 per cent increase in the number of tests carried out at these sites.” The new site is located at the

northbound Blackbutt Rest Area on the Newell Highway, Dubbo and is open 24/7 for testing. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the Dubbo site would prove a vital measure in keeping our freight industry Covid-safe and the supply chain moving because of its central location. “We know Dubbo is a significant key junction...it’s great we’ve been able to work closely with the freight industry to roll out these sites where they’re needed most. “There have been quite a few drivers calling for something in the region. “(Dubbo Regional) Council’s been doing some great work to help Transport for NSW to bring the entire rest area up to scratch with what’s needed to allow our heavy vehicle drivers to call in here and get a test and continue on their journey.”

Restrictions continue, 24 new Covid cases THE Dubbo Local Government Area (LGA), which includes Wellington, is facing continued uncertainty, with new Covid-19 cases putting the chances of the lockdowns being lifted in doubt. Covid cases in Wellington have been skyrocketing amid concerns that many people are travelling around the community unnecessarily. Extra police have been tasked to the town along with members from the Australian Defence Forces to assist with vaccinations as well as compliance and welfare checks, and authorities are appealing for people to stay at home. NSW recorded 863 new locally acquired cases of Covid-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm on Tuesday night. Of those, 863 were locally acquired cases. A total of 24 cases were from the Western NSW Local health District, 16 of those were from Wellington, with Cowra at 5, Oberon 2 and Walgett 1. NSW Health said 11 of the latest 24 Western NSW cases are linked, and five had been infectious in their communities, including three of those in Wellington. Sadly, two of the 15 people who died in NSW in those 24 hours were locals. An Aboriginal man in his 40s died at Dubbo Hospital. He was unvaccinated and suffered from underlying health conditions. The other victim was a man in his 70s who was in palliative care in Dubbo, he was also unvaccinated. Across NSW, 86.2 per cent of the over-16 population has received a first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, and 61.7 per cent are fully vaccinated to 11.59pm on September 27. The total number of vaccines administered in NSW is now 9,867,485 to 8pm on September 28. From October 11, two visitors per day aged 12 years and over will be permitted to visit an aged care facility if they are fully vaccinated. NSW Health will continue to work with the aged care sector to develop Covid-safe plans to support children under 12 years of age to visit aged care facilities in due course.

Transport leaders thank truckies

WESTERN Region Police are targeting the community’s shadow pandemic with the Operation Fair Play campaign against domestic violence. During the two-week operation, police will be undertaking compliance checks on Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVO) and serving outstanding warrants on all domestic violence offenders. With police responding to more than 140,000 incidents of family violence each year in NSW, Superintendent Steve Laksa said there is no excuse for abuse. “Police will be out and about to maximise victim safety,” he said. “The community can assist us by contacting police if they see or hear domestic violence or abuse.” Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit nsw.crimestoppers. com.au if you or someone you know is impacted by domestic violence. All information supplied will be treated with the strictest confidence.

Truck drivers are keeping our nation moving along during the pandemic, and deserve the utmost praise for their efforts. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

By NATALIE LEWIS THE Australian Trucking Association has joined the federal government in praising the efforts of Australia’s truck driving community during the Covid-19 pandemic. Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz thanked industry members who are working on the frontline to keep the nation supplied with essential goods. “Let me thank all those drivers, transport operators, freight and logistics workers who have

risen to the challenge and kept our shelves stocked and critical supplies moving throughout this pandemic. “The work you do is important, and you have the absolute respect and appreciation of the entire country. “Thank you to all those who have made the choice to get vaccinated and those businesses big and small who have supported their teams to get vaccinated,” Mr Buchholz said. ATA Chair David Smith said truck drivers have been crucial in keeping Australia supplied.

No excuse for abuse: Operation Fair Play underway

He commended them on the enormous effort they have displayed in doing the right thing, despite challenging border restrictions and Covid-19 testing requirements. “In all the tens of thousands of border crossings that occur every night of the week, we have only had a handful of cases in the transport industry,” Mr Smith said. “One of my fully vaccinated drivers has had more than 65 Covid-19 tests carried out on him. “This is physically and emotionally exhausting but demonstrates

the commitment and dedication drivers and their families around the country are displaying,” he said. With many operators and business owners in low spirits, Mr Smith said it was important to recognise and celebrate the essential role they play in the wider community. “Trucks are responsible for putting food in the supermarket, medicines in the pharmacy and fuel in the service station. Everything we consume is brought to us on a truck, and our drivers should be proud,” he said.

Retirement a ‘pivotal point’ in today’s relationship cycle By JEN COWLEY RETIREMENT might be the working person’s holy grail, but stepping off the hamster wheel can become a cautionary “be careful what you wish for” tale. Lyn Sykes, who forged a long and successful career in facilitating family business meetings, succession planning and relationship counselling, is one who would offer such counsel. The now 70-year-old jokes that as a succession planner, she’s a failure – “I’ve been retiring since I was 55!” – but now having all-but stepped away from her working life, Lyn can shoot from many angles when it comes to retirement. Her favourite angle, it seems, is from the hip: retirement can be difficult and the reality may differ from the dream, she says bluntly. The renowned counsellor says the one thing she tells people – based on experience, her own and others’ – is to remember that stepping into retirement is a “pivotal point” for relationships, and like any relationship, it takes work. “It’s as important as when you first enter into an intimate relationship. It’s the starting over of a new phase of your life.” The difficulties can arise when people have different expectations of what retirement will look like, according to Lyn who recounts a conversation she had with a couple about their impending retirement. “I asked the man what he thought life would look like in retirement, and he gave me a list of tasks he’d be achieving – jobs and things he’d be doing.

“When I asked her, she gave me a list of relationships – the people she was looking forward to spending more time with, including herself,” she recalls, adding that this is a common situation that can have its benefits and its drawbacks, but needs to be considered through the prism of each party’s expectations. “The reality of retirement can be a lot different to the perception,” Lyn says, explaining that in her own life, she heeded what she says was one very good piece of advice. “That it’s best if both people don’t retire at the same time, because there’s generally one half of the couple who wants to spend more time with the other – the desire for doing things together is usually not equal. “If one retires early, they have the opportunity to establish their life while the other is still working. They can pursue separate things – they don’t have to do everything together. “Without being too gender specific – because it can work either way – women tend to look forward to retirement because they think, “Yay – I’m going to be able to do what I like” – while men tend to say they’re looking forward to retirement because “we’ll do everything together”.” Lyn’s advice when considering relationships through the spectrum of impending retirement is to think of two circles representing two people, and consider how much those circles overlap. “If there’s a half circle overlap, it represents a shared space while the rest of the circle is the individual’s own space.

Retirement brings a monumental shift and a pivotal point in a relationship, according to experienced family counsellor Lyn Sykes, who says communication, as always, is key. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

“For some people, those circles fit directly on top of each other – that’s co-dependence,” Lyn says, warning that how those circles look in real life may indicate how easy or difficult the transition to retirement might be. Self-esteem, according to Lyn, is among the most crucial determining factors in whether or not a transition to retirement will be a happy experience. Most adults who are thinking about retiring have a huge component of their self-esteem tied up in their occupation. “When they lose that, it can be tricky,” Lyn says, stressing the importance of having other interests. “If you don’t have anything in your life other than your work, if you’ve been deeply devoted to a career, it can mean you lack pur-

pose in retirement and that can be tough. You need to have a reason to get out of bed.” The seasoned relationship and family counsellor believes a harmonious transition to retirement is more fraught than it was for previous generations. “It’s harder because women have been involved very differently in the community for the past few decades. “When women were primarily homemakers, and men were primarily the workers, it was simpler because the roles were more clearly defined. There was more of a continuation of the way things rolled.” Bottom line, according to Lyn, is that retiring involves fundamental change so it should be planned and considered, and not just from a financial perspective. “Retirement can be a real trigger point for divorce because of the shifts in and reframing of relationships that come with such a monumental change,” she says. One retirement size doesn’t necessarily fit all, but there are consistent themes and things you can do to plan for a happy transition according to Lyn. “As with any other aspect of life, communication, is key. Work on your communication skills. “Secondly, have a look at your role models – who can you use as a role model for your own retirement. This can make a huge difference. “And thirdly, consider your sense of self. Where does your self-esteem come from? If it comes solely from your work, you’re going to have a tough time transitioning to retirement.”

Sparking up the chargers DUBBO Photo News noticed a Tesla work ute pulled up at the branded charging stations near the Western Plains Cultural Centre last week and pulled over to find out what was going on. It seems the chargers get an annual service, but not much appears to go wrong with them. We didn’t get to look under the hood of Tesla’s Mitsubishi service vehicle but think it’s safe to say it wouldn’t have been getting a recharge while the servicing was going on.

Voluntary assisted dying back on state agenda A BILL to legalise voluntary assisted dying in NSW will be introduced to the parliament next month after an extensive consultation period involving a number of stakeholders from the health and aged care sectors. The draft Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 aims to provide a pathway for people with a terminal illness to voluntarily seek assistance to end their life at a time when they can no longer endure their pain and suffering. All other Australian states have passed voluntary assisted dying laws with the exception of NSW, and the man behind the bill, independent Member for Sydney Alex Greenwich says it’s “high time we addressed this critical human rights issue”. He says the revised bill draws on “best practice in Australia and overseas” and he’s confident it provides for the safest framework for people who are “in the last stages of a terminal illness and whose pain and suffering has become unbearable, to get help to end their suffering peacefully, with dignity and surrounded by the people they love”. Some of the amendments to the bill include the Supreme Court taking over the review process (from the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal), a dedicated ombudsman to provide oversight and further definition of the role of paramedics and health care workers.

Mullets for Munz: Tribute to a mate By JOHN RYAN

BOURKE’S Harry Bowden lives his school motto: In Meliore Contende – Strive for Better Things. So does Dubbo’s Joey Cant. And Trangie’s Paddy Burns. And 200 others of the Year 12 cohort at St Joseph’s College in Hunters Hill. Everyone of the class of 2021, already struggling with the routine demands of the HSC and the uncertainties surrounding Covid-19, was distraught when their mate Nick Munsie took his own life a few months ago. Showing maturity and awareness well beyond his years, Harry Bowden felt compelled to do more than just grieve. He was determined to make a difference in the hope that publicly raising awareness about the dangers of mental ill-health in youth could help prevent similar tragedies. That’s when he discovered he could make a difference via the Black Dog Institute. “I saw an advertisement for the Mullets for Mental Health, so I suggested the idea for us Joey’s boys to take part this year. I saw you could join the fundraiser as a team so I started a team and called it Mullets for Munz and everyone I suggested it to was eager to join the team,” Harry told Dubbo Photo News. “This fundraiser is important for us to take part in because we lost a good mate, Nick Munsie, to the Black Dog. This awareness that the team has created is a great platform to show others how much the avoidable death of a mate can affect people and how supported people with mental illnesses really are. “This has affected all of us quite significantly as Munz was a good mate to us all. I believe our whole year at Joeys has come to the realisation of how important it is to speak up about issues going on in our lives.” The boys started out with a goal to raise $300, little knowing the support they were about to receive. Donations came in so thick and fast they kept moving the goalposts, the Australian public responding to Nick’s tragic death by pledging – at the time we went to press – a staggering $300,000-plus. “I hope this makes a difference in some way as it can be used to avoid more situations like ours,”

Above, Nick Munsie working on the farm. Below, this photo was taken at a family gathering last Christmas with the mullets, which is now so appropriate considering the way Nick’s mates have chosen to celebrate his life. Pictured is Nick, Xavier (brother), Bill (uncle), Stirling (cousin), Dave (Father), Theo (brother) and Clancy (cousin).

Harry said. The unofficial motto at Joey’s is “You’ll never walk alone” and no-one knows that better, now, than Nick Munsie’s family which has been incredibly buoyed by this show of love from his mates. Dubbo’s Joey Cant said the fundraiser has made it far easier for all the boys to grieve for their lost mate because it gave the whole class a positive focus during a year where everything felt like it had become all too negative. “The most important thing to come from it was the camaraderie of the boys and how we are all looking out for one another more closely than before,” Joey told Dubbo Photo News. “When we first heard of Nick’s tragic death it came as a surprise to us all. Even now I still can’t imagine it. The shock went all throughout the school including teachers and old boys of the college.” Like many of his classmates, Joey was amazed when the fundraising went viral and was keen to do his bit to maintain the

momentum. “I had reached out to Budgie Smuggler on Instagram asking for them to share the link among the social platforms and their response said they were happy to make and send us budgie smugglers of our design and their donation of gift vouchers which are available as part of a raffle,” he said. “Certainly with that first goal achieved in a little under 10 mins, we realised this could be big, so we started contacting people who could influence this amazing support with famous athletes such as Charlotte Caslick from the women’s 7s Olympic rugby team, Rohan Browning the Olympic sprinter and current wallaby Angus Bell among many others.” In a year that’s been difficult for all sorts of reasons, Joey says he’s incredibly proud of his mates because of the attention the class has been able to direct to the issue of mens’ mental health and the stigma surrounding it. “It has brought us so much closer as a whole cohort than we could ever imagine. Although we still

are shocked by the loss, we stand together to fight for others going through Nick’s pain. “The fundraising effort will contribute to Black Dog Institute, which enables young men like Nick to reach out even more easily than before.” Trangie’s Paddy Burns said it was important for him and his mates “to have a crack because we know the impact someone taking their life has on their family and friends, and we want to help people with mental health issues”. “It hit us very hard. One of the hardest moments in my life, hearing that news. It has also made us a closer group of mates who really support each other,” he said. “It was a complete shock to see it go viral and what we are doing is making a difference, I believe it would have helped his family and friends knowing we want to stop other people from going through the same heartbreak.” Nick’s parents told Dubbo Photo News they’d received great solace from the actions of his mates. “Aren’t the boys amazing to take

this initiative and run with it? So proud,” they said. Paddy said the school had ensured there had been plenty of discussion on mental health during the past few years but like many others in his year, he had no idea it was something that was really relevant to himself and his classmates. “Unfortunately it didn’t click and have an impact till Nick’s death and it shouldn’t be that way,” Paddy said. “The awareness needs to be created early to prevent the death of people. We are also trying to open up about the stigma around men speaking out and how they need to know it’s okay, and that they should talk to someone as suicide doesn’t just affect friends and family but the wider community. “Nick was an unreal mate. Please create awareness and ask and look out for each other.” z If you or anyone you know is struggling and needs someone to talk to, know that you are not alone and it’s okay not to be okay.

WHAT KIDS SAY

Three generations of trucks 1930s

1920s

By JOHN RYAN

Constance Gannon Age: 5 years old Favourite TV show? Bluey! Favourite game? Keepy Uppy What do you like to get up to most? Staying home, playing with Daddy and my hermit crabs. What makes you happy? Playing with Zahra, and having slush puppies because they make my brain freeze. If you could be a superhero, who would you be? Wonder woman! What is the naughtiest thing you’ve done? Sometimes I don’t listen very well What would you do if you were the boss at home? I would hug and kiss Mummy and Daddy. What is your favourite food? Watermelon!

EVERY time anyone moves, speaks, eats or sleeps these days it seems there’s a mobile phone at hand to take a photo of the earth-shattering event, but the world wasn’t always like that. In the 1920s very few families had cameras and many of the few photographs that were taken in that era have been long lost, burnt or otherwise discarded. That’s not the case with members of the Attwell family who farmed at Peak Hill for decades. They seem to have photographs of just about all the trucks they utilised through three generations. Geoff Attwell said he’s proud that the family has retained so much written and photographic history of the family’s farming and trucking operations. It’s not all about work for this fami-

ly, it’s about preserving the history from generations before, and for those yet to come: “If it’s the human-interest side, how about my uncle going for his honeymoon in the 1928 International truck?” Mr Atwell told Dubbo Photo News. “Or my grandmother winning prizes for her needlework at the Beulah show in 1904 and my grandfather exhibiting the champion turkey at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 1929,” he says, adding that he still has the original prize tickets. “The engine that was bought in 1928 to power the shearing machinery – I still have it and I restored it. I also still have the tractor bought in 1936 and the truck bought in 1937. I have some original petrol coupons.” In 2010, Geoff’s son bought a 1938 Fargo truck and restored it. Geoff traced and

Splashdown! Public pools are back

...but not at Wello, opening on hold

PUBLIC swimming pools in Dubbo and Geurie have opened this week, with the aim of adhering to Covid-19 requirements while also allowing people to use them for exercise. Locally operated by Dubbo Regional Council, the two aquatic centres will run with reduced hours to enable regular deep cleaning between operational periods and alternated staff rostering to mitigate any potential cross-infection risks, in the event of a Covid-19 case. Opening hours are subject to change and can be found online at dubbo.nsw.gov.au/pools. Season passes will also soon be available.

DESPITE other public pools around the state opening the turnstiles to patrons this week, the reopening of the Wellington Aquatic Leisure Centre has been postponed amid fears over the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the town over recent days. Representatives across the community including from Health, Orana Police, Wellington Aboriginal Health, Koori Covid Circle and other key stakeholders made the difficult decision which will be reviewed daily. Dubbo Regional Council says the community’s safety is its highest priority and that it will continue to keep stakeholders informed as to when the pool might again be open.

Keep on truckin’

JOHN Morris officially retired with wife Trish in 2015, after 22 years in the truck insurance business. As a younger bloke, after stints driving trucks for local operators, working on the family farm and having a crack with the crew helping to build Dubbo’s LH Ford Bridge, John set up in business as a truckie owner-driver, operating from 1978 to 1992 taking road trains into North Queensland and the Northern Territory. He went on to play a major role as an industry advocate, being awarded the 2017 NatRoads Ted Pickering Memorial Award for outstanding contribution to the australian road freight transport industry, following on from the 2014 recognition for his “most outstanding dedication and service to the Australian Road Train Association”. John sat down with Dubbo Photo News to share his insights on how the backbone of Australian life, the trucking industry, has been travelling during the Covid-19 pandemic. ••• Do you think truckies have been largely unseen and undervalued in Australian society? I think so. The old saying: “Without trucks – Australia stops”. Has the Covid-19 pandemic changed mainstream attitudes towards truckies, given they really do keep the country moving? I don’t think so. They are a given.

How badly have truckies been treated during the pandemic, being locked out of rest rooms, roadhouses to get a feed, even refused access to toilets at yards where they’re loading/unloading? I think the roadhouse issue has been sorted since guys like Rod Hannifey and Senator Glenn Searle got on the case. You can see why some places locked their restrooms but it is still unfair. In Dubbo, some businesses locked their toilets. It’s a bit hard for the TB people (tiny bladders)! You have to plan and be mindful of where you are at all times. What do you think governments need to do to ensure Australia continues to have a strong and viable trucking sector? I am 200 per cent in favour of pre-planning. Look ahead on what’s on our drawing boards. Innovative trucks are economically crucial but we have to have the infrastructure. Who would have thought we would have had (36.5m) road trains, B-triples and AB-triples running the full length of the Newell 20 years ago? I used to run some “unofficial” road train trials’ from Goondiwindi to Dubbo down the Newell in the early ‘80s. Do the corporate trucking ﬁrms have too much power? They probably do, but they have the money to innovate and develop new, efficient, high productivity vehicles. Look at Ronnie Finemore’s new quad-quad B-doubles – they’re 77 tonne gross.

No excuse for abuse There are Lamattina’s (36.5m) B-quads on the Newell too – 105.5 tonnes gross under Higher Mass Limits (HML). Drivers from some companies were reverting to industrial action, how tough is it in the industry at the moment? Everybody is looking for a pay rise, but the private sector economy (business owners) are surviving because they are not getting 3-4-5 per cent wage rises every year. It’s a bit hard if you are a wage earner I suppose, and trying to buy your first house. How important is it to ensure that the owner/driver and small trucking operators can

survive and thrive into the future? The owner/drivers and small operators will always survive on personalised service and small prime contracts like I did. I had good local work and always had 2-10 subbies (subcontractors) working for me. I asked them what they wanted and paid them that. Everybody was happy. The smaller operators around Dubbo are doing well I think. If all the trucks just stopped in Australia for a week, what would happen? It would be inconvenient for everyone. Grocery stores would be the worst hit. They rely on on-road-warehousing.

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

OPERATION Fair Play, targeting domestic violence (DV), was rolled out across the Western Region last Sunday and will continue until October 9. Police are warning the community that DV will not be tolerated. Across the state police respond to more than 140,000 incidents of domestic and family violence per year with women and children in NSW statistically almost 40 per cent more likely to become victims. Operation Fair Play will see police tasked with compliance checks on Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVO) and serving outstanding warrants on all domestic violence offenders. Western Region Sponsor for Domestic Violence, Superintendent Steve Laksa, said there is no excuse for abuse and he said police will be out and about with a focus on ADVO compliance checks and enforcement to maximise victim safety. “The community can assist to reduce the harm caused to families by contacting police if they see or hear domestic violence or abuse,” he said.

AIRCRAFT MECHANIC

Working in the clouds By JOHN RYAN

CHRIS Jones loves his job as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. The 37-year-old has applied for his license to be a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME) at Beal Aircraft Maintenance based at Dubbo Regional Airport and says it’s a great local career opportunity. “I grew up in Mendooran and moved to Dubbo for Year 11 and12 at Dubbo College and then stayed here for work,” Mr Jones told Dubbo Photo News. “When I left school I started as a heavy vehicle mechanic to begin with and got into aviation for a while. I managed car parts departments around town for a couple of dealerships and then got back into this line of work. “Growing up, I always just loved aeroplanes, anything that flew, and I’ve always been mechanically-minded. I grew up on a farm doing mechanical things, I was driving tractors and trucks and riding motorbikes from a young age and always working on them.” Mr Jones said part of the allure of aviation maintenance stems from the sheer variety of work, not just from the very different aircraft types themselves, but from the actual skills needed to perform many different jobs. “Aviation maintenance is extremely varied. It’s not just mechanical work, it’s mechanical, it’s electrical, it’s engine work and it’s airframe, there’s sheet metal work as well,” he said. “It’s really good to have that variety. It means there’s something different every day, really, and it just doesn’t get boring or monotonous.” Chris said the work environ-

ment presents plenty of challenges when it comes to organisation and awareness. The workshop has to be kept near spotless, there’s mountains of paperwork that goes with each job and the aircraft themselves are lightly-built so you have to keep that fragility in mind when you’re working in that space. Being aware of your surroundings is vital according to Mr Jones. “You’ve got to be careful, you can’t swing around with tools

or that kind of thing, it’s all aluminium so it’s softer than steel and it’s not difficult to damage something.” When he’s not working on planes, Mr Jones can often be found in his out-of-work hours tinkering on his four-wheel-drive with his sons. “I like to spend time with the kids and my wife and to work on the car at home,” he said. “The boys are nine and 12 so they’re starting to get into learn-

ing a bit of this mechanical stuff. “It’s an older Nissan Patrol wagon, it’s pretty unbreakable, built for a purpose and quite simple and you can do a lot to modify them.” Back to his day job and when it comes to his favourite aircraft, he has to think through all the competing types. “Oh, the favourite I’ve worked on would have to be probably the Air Tractor. The turbines, they’re just easy and everything’s accessible, they’re purpose built and that

just makes it easy for us really,” he said. “My favourite aircraft, which I haven’t worked on, I’d have to say is probably the (De Havilland) Mosquito. I like the design and the fact it’s all wood, I’d love to work on one of them.” He said it’s sad so many Mosquitoes based at Narromine Aerodrome during World War II were scrapped just a few dozen kilometres from Dubbo back in the late 1940s.

Meet Mr Fix-it By NATALIE LEWIS

Ross Jackson’s love of cars evolved into a career as a mechanic. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

TINKERING with cars has been a pastime for Ross Jackson since he was a small boy. “I’ve always liked doing up cars, my dad and I always fiddled around with cars when I was growing up,” he said. Ross started his working life as an apprentice at Bullitt Transmissions from 1976 to 1981. “Then I worked at Orana Transmissions specialising in transmissions and power steering for 25 years. I had my mechanic’s licence but never worked on an engine.” In 2010, he started his own business, Jackson Automotive. “I wanted to do my own thing. I like working on cars and fixing things.” A lot has changed in motoring

in the 40 years since Ross became a qualified mechanic, which has also changed his role. “Everything is electronic now. It’s not as simple as checking the spark plugs and fuel line and seeing if it goes. Scanning tools are used to diagnose problems but they don’t always pinpoint where the problem is.” As a car lover, Ross said his favourite vehicle is an FC Holden and he’s also a member of the Golden West Holden Owners Club. He’s definitely a fan of older model cars and believes they are sturdier than today’s models. “They were better quality, a lot more solid and if something went wrong, it was no drama to fix it.” He said the qualities needed as a mechanic include problem solving and flexibility.

“I think you definitely need patience, and you need to be double-jointed to get into some of the engines, there’s not much room. “You also get covered in grease and oil. You are always washing your hands, which is not a bad thing these days!” Ross said the appeal of being a mechanic is about being able to help someone who is having car trouble. In the 11 years since he started the business, not one person has returned to complain about his workmanship. “I like being able to work a problem out and fix it and then the customer is happy,” he said. “If you can help someone out, that’s your reward. I’m not chasing big dollars. I’m not here to rip people off. I’m out to do the job at a reasonable price.”

Busy, tyred, but happy By JOHN RYAN

BEN and Bek Blackhall operate Ben’s Tyres in Wellington and say they couldn’t be happier for local farmers who have been having a great season despite the general doom and gloom brought about by the Covid-19 lockdowns. “I feel it’s good times for the farmers at the moment,” Ben told Dubbo Photo News. “With all the rain we’ve had this year, crops and livestock seem to be thriving. “It’s good to see things go farmers’ way after all the blows they’ve been dealt over the past few years.” Bek said after so many tough years, it’s great to see the agricultural sector bounce back, because it means the entire town benefits from the economic spin-offs. “The local farmers have dealt with

drought, mice plagues and most recently a lot of rain but at the moment they are doing well according to our farming customers,” she said. Ben was born and raised in Wellington and always lived in the town whereas Bek spent her childhood on Queensland’s Bribie Island (“Poor girl, I know!”) before moving to Wellington during her teenage years. “While at school, I wanted to be a police officer,” she said, adding that she decided she just had to get into the tyre business because of “the handsome man that owns Ben’s Tyres...blush!” Ben worked for nine years as a panel-beater before deciding he needed a change. “I took an opportunity with Frank Cross in Wellington and after 12 years as manager there I decided to open my own shop,” he said, stressing that having a good local reputation when in business in a small town is critical.

“Very, very important – while people are talking positively about our business, the word spreads quickly and that keeps the business growing. “The best part about my job is talking to my customers, listening to their needs and helping them with the right products and advice, as well as customers’ appreciation.” Bek couldn’t agree more: “In Wellington a good reputation is indispensable. “As they say, news travels fast in small towns! Being off the main highways means the majority of our business is with the local people, opposed to towns like Dubbo that have a consistent stream of freight and traveller traffic. “I would have to say the best part of my job is the people around me. I work with family and friends and the majority of our customers are our family and friends.”

Ben and Bek Blackhall love their jobs and are firm adherents to the belief that if you look after your customers, your small business will look after itself. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Winged vaccines in remote skies

PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

By JOHN RYAN BACK in May, then Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack visited Dubbo to announce the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) would partner with the commonwealth to deliver vaccinations to the nation’s most remote communities. That roll-out began in June, now the RFDS has passed the 15,000 dose milestone, delivering the jab at clinics in isolated towns to shearing sheds in the far corners of the nation. Royal Flying Doctor Service South East Section General Man-

ager Health Services Jenny Beach said that for more than 90 years the RFDS has been helping people in remote and regional areas when they need it most, evolving over that time to meet current needs. “This is just another example of that, using all our resources to help vaccinate against a hideous disease,” Ms Beach said. “We already have connections with so many of those remote communities so it makes sense that we would be the ones to deliver vaccinations but we have also gone further, servicing new regions at the request of the fed-

Car smashes into Darling St house EMERGENCY REPORT By JOHN RYAN ABOUT 8.25pm on Tuesday night, September 28, emergency services were called to Darling Street in South Dubbo following reports a white Holden Commodore attempted to overtake a grey Mazda CX-9 before it crashed and lost control where it mounted the curb and rolled before crashing into a home. Police attended and commenced an investigation, alleging the 43-year-old male driver initially left the scene, returning a short time later

and meeting with police. Police say a roadside breath/ drug test was conducted, returning a positive result. The man was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station for secondary testing and later to Dubbo Base Hospital for treatment of minor injuries and further testing. The driver of the Mazda was not injured. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are continuing. The wreckage from the crash was spectacular. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

eral government. “Our focus remains on rural and remote communities where we can go with a whole of community approach. We’ve worked closely with Local Health Districts and Aboriginal Health and Medical Services to make that happen.” Wilcannia has been at the epicentre of one of the state’s most critical Covid-19 outbreaks and the RFDS has held more than 30 vaccination clinics at Wilcannia’s town hall, with almost 700 people vaccinated. The service also provided a doctor to reside at the Wilcannia Hospital for two weeks, with

RFDSSE Chief Medical Officer Randall Greenberg, who normally works at the Dubbo flying doctor base, one of those who spent time working at the hospital. “With the number of Covid-19 cases rising during late-August, we made the decision to make resources available to give the community peace of mind that help was on the ground. We continue to provide medical care through our Emergency and Primary Health Services,” Dr Greenberg said. The RFDSSE is preparing to deliver Covid-19 vaccination clinics for several months to meet the anticipated demand.

WARNING: Disaster calling as phone scams soar IF you’re suddenly getting a heap of calls from unknown numbers, you’re not alone. Aussies have been fleeced out of a staggering $211 million so far this year as the volume of phone scams has skyrocketed by 89 per cent, according to Scamwatch. In a worrying trend, the scams are getting more and more sophisticated and the amounts they’re stealing from unsuspecting people have also grown with the average loss this year being $11,000 as opposed to $7,000 last year. Most of these losses are incurred through phone-based scams, which often take the form of calls or texts claiming to be from well-known businesses or government agencies, but are in fact an attempt to steal people’s personal information. They pretend to be from companies like Amazon or eBay and claim your credit card has been used for large purchases. When they pretend to help process a “refund” what they’re actually doing is gaining remote access to your computer to steal your personal and banking details. Recently the new Flubot malware scams exploded, with face voice mail messages and parcel delivery scams going through the roof, which is particularly worrying when so many people are ordering online because of Covid-19. Bottom line is if you don’t recognise the number, be very careful about answering or responding. DO NOT give personal details over the phone. DO NOT ever click on links in unusual messages. If you are not sure if it’s legitimate, always call the organisation or agency using details you find yourself in an independent search. If you see a scam, please report it to Scamwatch through the website (scamwatch.gov.au) even if you’ve not lost money because the information helps address these scams.

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Brett Greentree new region police commander

READ Jen Cowley’s interview with retiring Western Region police commander Geoff McKechnie in this week’s Dubbo Photo News and stay reading here to welcome incoming Assistant Commissioner Brett Greentree (above) who commenced in the role last Monday. Born and bred in Inverell, he joined the NSW Police Force in 1995 with his first postings at Manly and Sydney before transferring to Moree in 1997, attaining his detective’s designation in 2001. Promoted to Detective Sergeant at Tweed Heads, he was then stationed as Detective Inspector at Bourke in 2007 where he spent four years before transferring to Central Hunter Command in 2011. In 2012, he was promoted to Superintendent as Chief of Staff to Deputy Commissioner Specialist Operations, where he remained until 2014 when he transferred to Lake Macquarie. During his time at Lake Macquarie Police District, he was appointed the NSW Police Force Corporate Sponsor for Customer Service, leading a major change program to streamline case management and victim follow up, which benefited both the organisation and community. Assistant Commissioner Greentree was recognised with a Commissioner’s Commendation for his service in this role. Assistant Commissioner Greentree transferred to Newcastle City Police District in 2017, where he focused on community engagement and culture change within the local area. He also initiated a Property Crime Team that won the Commissioner’s Safety Award for Best Work-Place project for injured officers. In 2021, he then transferred to Brisbane Water Police District to implement improvements across the district, before he was promoted to Assistant Commissioner of the state’s Western Region this month. During his career, Assistant Commissioner Greentree had the opportunity to attend the National Indian Police Academy as a visiting fellow where he worked with local police and mentored officers attending the academy. He also studied at the prestigious Boston University in the USA, where he joined police chiefs across America learning management theories and practice in public sector organisations. Western Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Brett Greentree, said his focus for the region is to work closely with the community to continue building trust and confidence in reporting crime to police.

“The community has endured a difficult two years learning to live with Covid-19, and we are committed to continuing to work together as we look at policing moving forward, particularly as restrictions ease. “I will be ensuring our officerin-charge model is strong and we continue to work with both government and non-government agencies to prevent, disrupt and respond to crime in communities. “Our goal remains the safety and security of the Western Region community and ultimately we are looking to reduce crime and to make our regional roads safer for motorists.”

Explosives, guns, drugs, stock theft STOCK prices are at stratospheric levels and there’s plenty of theft happening when it comes to sheep and cattle in recent times, and in one case a sheep duffing at Coonabarabran has led police to a gold mine of alleged crimes. Earlier this month the Rural Crime Prevention Team commenced an investigation following the theft of 34 sheep from a Binnaway property, south of Coonabarabran and following inquiries a search warrant was executed at a property on Bourkes and Halls Road at Binnaway. Officers allegedly located and seized 31 sheep, five rifles, firearm parts, cannabis, explosives and 62 kilograms of wool. A 63-year-old man has since been issued a court attendance notice for the offences of: z Possess shortened firearm without authority, z Possess more than three unregistered firearms without licence/ permit, z Not keep firearm safely-not pistol/prohibited firearm, z Possess prohibited drug (x2), z Steal cattle, z Take and use other’s cattle, z Alter, destroy authorised stock identifier, z Possess ammunition w/o holding licence/permit/authority, and z Possess, supply or make explosive for unlawful purpose. He is due to appear at Coonabarabran Local Court on November 19. Orana Mid-Western Police District Commander Danny Sullivan said he takes rural crime very seriously. “I am pleased with the partnership between officers at Orana Mid-Western Police District and the Rural Crime Prevention team,” Supt Sullivan said. State Rural Crime Coordinator, Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Whiteside said this investigation highlights the commitment of local police when it comes to the rural industry. “I encourage farmers to report all rural crime to police as soon as possible, this will increase the opportunity for a positive outcome. Rural crime investigations survive on the partnership between police and the farmer,” Det Chief Insp Whiteside said.

means anyone wishing to light a fire from that date must obtain a free fire permit in addition to notifying their local Fire Control Centre and neighbours 24 hours before lighting up. Rural Fire Service Inspector Bron Waters said landholders and firefighters have reported significant grass growth from recent rain which means there will be an increased threat of grass fires as this dries out. “Grass fires can start easily and spread quickly, not only destroying homes but also crops and livelihoods,” Inspector Waters said. “While hazard reductions are an important part of preparations, landholders need to be extremely careful as escaped burns can lead to heavy penalties. “If a fire does escape, make sure you call Triple Zero (000) immediately so that emergency services can respond and minimise the damage.” Inspector Waters also stressed the importance of being prepared by updating and discussing your bush fire survival plan. “Have the conversation with your family about what you will do during a fire – talk about when you’ll leave, where you’ll go, what you’ll take and what you’ll do with animals.” For details on making a bush fire survival plan visit www.myfireplan.com.au

Nevertire speeding and DUI JUST before 10pm last Saturday night (September 24) police from Dubbo Highway Patrol stopped an orange-coloured Holden Commodore utility for exceeding the speed limit as it travelled east on the Mitchell Highway, Nevertire. The 24-year-old male driver was given a roadside breath test that returned a positive result, he was arrested and taken to Warren Police Station where a Breath Anal-

ysis returned a reading of 0.112. He was issued with an infringement for speeding and charged with Drive Mid-Range PCA and his licence was immediately suspended.

Narromine Public Health Order breach, DUI AROUND 10:50pm last Saturday night police were patrolling Narromine as part of Operation Stay at Home when they noticed a Silver Mazda 2 turn left onto Dandaloo St from Derribong Ave. Officers activated warning lights to signal the driver to pull over and they spoke with the 20-year-old female driver and advised her she was stopped for random breath testing. The driver produced a P2 New South Wales driver’s licence and subsequently returned a positive reading. While Police were doing the roadside breath test, the female’s vehicle started to roll forward towards the footpath before the driver pulled the handbrake. She was arrested and taken to Narromine Police station for the purpose of a Breath analysis which allegedly returned a reading of 0.173. The 20-year-old was charged with driving with high range prescribed concentration of alcohol and breach of the public health order. Her licence was immediately suspended. There were two other people in the vehicle, her boyfriend and his friend. The female came from a lockdown area (Dubbo LGA) to a non-lockdown area (Narromine Shire LGA), and was in breach of the Public Health Order.

Mudgee fatal crash POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding a single-vehicle crash near Mudgee on September 26 which claimed the life of a 46-year-old man.

About 10.45am emergency services were called to Queens Pinch Road, Meroo, following reports a Ford Maverick had left the road and struck a tree. The driver and sole occupant sustained critical injuries. He was assisted by local residents prior to the arrival of police and paramedics, before being airlifted to Westmead Hospital, where he died later that night. Officers from Orana Mid-Western Police District and Traffic and Highway Patrol Command are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. As inquiries continue, anyone with information or dashcam footage from the area, is urged to come forward. A report is being prepared for the Coroner.

Scooter rules in Dubbo YOU see them everywhere around town and now, after more than 13 years of advocating by the Physical Disability Council of NSW, the state government has finally amended the road rules to allow all motorised mobility device users the legal right to use their device on NSW footpaths – this includes power wheelchair and mobility scooters. The legal standing of scooters has been a grey area and many people using these devices have been considered “illegal” when riding on our footpaths and walkways due to restrictive weight limits. That’s left these mostly older residents open to legal repercussions in the event of accident or injury. For many Dubbo and Wellington locals, it’s the only way to retain some independence, so it’s great to see the rules amended in their favour. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Stay safe on buses AS Dubbo’s lockdown continues, public transport users are reminded that mask wearing remains mandatory while travelling. Dubbo Buslines remains operational for passengers on regular town routes and school bus services once Term 4 begins. “However, we do encourage all our customers to follow the NSW Public Health Orders. Customers should stay at home and avoid non-essential travel where possible,” a company spokesperson said. All persons over the age of 12 must wear a mask while using public transport across NSW until further notice. To stay Covid-Safe on public transport, remember to ”wear a mask, practice good hygiene and stay home if unwell”. The Buslines Group also advises passengers who need to use public transport to “observe the recommended social distancing protocols and leave a 1.5 metre buffer zone between themselves and drivers where possible”. In the interest of ongoing health and safety, passengers are also urged to tender the correct fare when boarding public buses.

Train your brain to lower strain? Sleep on it HELEN Dugdale is well known among Dubbo residents for her “brain coaching” techniques that have helped many locals give up smoking or stop procrastinating or a myriad other benefits therapy has been able to achieve. Now she’s declared war on the lack of zzzz’s and is looking for people who suffer insomnia and sleep-related issues so she can interview them for her upcoming book. She spoke to Dubbo Photo News about why sleep, or the lack of it, can be such a debilitating issue for so many Australians. ••• How big a problem is insomnia amongst Australians? Statistics say about 40 per cent of the population has sleeping problems. Who does it affect? All ages – kids through to the elderly – all types, blue collar, white collar, retired, usually impacted by lifestyle (diet, worry, environment, emotional) rather than genetic. What can be done to assist people who suffer from insomnia? Fix your environment – medical, diet, exercise, then you can use music, white noise, mindfulness and so on, if it is still a problem then you will need brain coaching to really get to the cause of the problem. How debilitating is it to not be

Brian coaching expert Helen Dugdale says all aspects of life beneﬁt from good sleeping habits, and is writing a book about how to achieve a good night’s sleep.

It could be dangerous (driving, WH&S, risky choices like drinking and driving, taking drugs); re-

lationships can suffer if someone is grumpy all the time; it can lead to increased anxiety and depression, reduced productivity. Some

scientists are saying it may even lead to Alzheimer’s in later life. It affects your immune system if you can’t sleep very well – diabetes, heart problems, plus the dangers of over-medicating. Have you been able to assist people through your brain coaching? Very much so, I have some wonderful case histories! People are so happy to be able to sleep seven to eight hours for the first time in their adult life, without medication Tell us about the book you’re looking to write; All of the above are in my book, plus the science of sleep, why we need to sleep, and suggestions on developing good habits. It covers shift work problems. My book will also have the results of the sleep survey, where I get real people’s stories about what they have tried and what has worked or not, to get a good sleep. Why have you felt the need to write a book on this issue? I felt the need when I realised I was having so much success with my clients who couldn’t sleep, even though there are 160 million articles on Google about it, and heaps of remedies and therapies being spruiked, but people are still suffering from insomnia. I thought “I need to let people know about my method and how relatively inexpensive and quick it is to get results”. People can remain anonymous.

Who is that masked... litterer? LIBBY McIntyre is well-known for her local environmental work around the Macquarie River and she’s identified a brand new problem: carelessly discarded facemasks. During a simple one-hour stroll around the riverbank, Libby saw a number of thrown-away masks littering the walking tracks. “Pretty disappointing that this is what people are doing. I am sure some are accidentally dropped but not all,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “Most people I talk to say it is appalling and very disappointing that people are discarding masks

everywhere.” From a RiverCare Group point of view she says most hard rubbish such as masks, take away food wrappers and drink containers, straws, bottle tops, cigarette butts, plastic bags and resulting microplastics all end up in the lowest part of the land, that is, in the rivers, wetlands and dams. “Aquatic animals such as turtles, platypus, water rats and fish will mistake these rubbish items as food. They ingest (the discarded items) and some may starve Libby McIntyre said the message from Dubbo RiverCare Group is simple: or die or be strangled or injured “Please take your rubbish with you! Put it in a bin and you will be looking afby different types of rubbish,” ter our environment.” PHOTO: SUPPLIED she said.

Made in Wello... with love By NATALIE LEWIS WHILE the Made in Wello shopfront may be closed, the online store is open for business and selling an array of items handmade with love. Made in Wello’s 2IC Penny Cook said it’s the second time the store has had to close due to lockdown but with a collective of 80 contributors, not even a pandemic can halt their creativity. “There’s some very talented people doing craft in Wellington,” she said. “Our shop on Facebook is open and you can pick what you want and we organise payment and postage or click and collect.” Mrs Cook said the online customers are a mix of locals and past visitors to Wellington. “People have been to Made in Wello when they’ve been through town and they want to continue supporting the shop because they know what it means to the town,” she said. Mrs Cook pointed out that not only does shopping locally benefit the town, but supporting local artisans also keeps cottage industries going. “Shopping locally supports your town. If you can get it local, it’s supporting local. People like to get things locally to give as gifts and post away. If consumers don’t support the shop, the crafts will get lost.” She said the difference between Made in Wello and other chain shops is that it’s an outlet for crafts that can’t be found anywhere else. “It’s totally unique items, and made with love and passion by

Help stop the spread, Wello BY NATALIE LEWIS

COVID-19 case numbers are rapidly rising in Wellington, with local leaders urging residents to stay at home to stop the spread. Western NSW Local Health District CEO Scott McLachlan said the ongoing outbreak in Wellington was cause for serious concern. “We are very concerned about Wellington, with more than 20 cases over the weekend – we are concerned there has definitely been community transmissions.” On Monday, there were 11 cases overnight in Wellington with five cases for Dubbo and 24 new cases across the region. Mr McLachlan said health service personnel are keen to slow down the virus, but need the community’s cooperation. “We are very keen to get in front of this in the coming days. I urge everyone in Wellington to

On the whole though, most of us are creating more.” Handicrafts include wood and metal work, macrame and jewellery making, soap and candle melts, folk art painting, mosaics, plant holders and Aboriginal crafts and paintings. Their range includes tea towels with crocheted holders, chopping boards, home-made cordial, toys, blankets, different styles of face mask, totes and handbags, jewellery, bibs and resin products.

While they haven’t quite made it to online tutorials, the Made in Wello group will be once again sharing their expertise once lockdown comes to an end. In the meantime, their online clientele is slowly growing. “When our doors are open, we offer training in sewing, crochet and knitting,” Mrs Cook explained. Describing what Made in Wello means to everyone, she said it’s irreplaceable.

“It’s so important for the community. It’s a major boost if you are a crafter. We need an outlet to pass our craft on to other people.

“Most of our craft is not priced at what it’s worth when you consider the hours, the materials, fabric and yarns, the passion and the man hours. Sometimes it takes hundreds of hours for some things that are sold in our shop. It’s a passion thing with crafters but we still have to pay rent.”

please come forward even if you have been tested in the last week. “Please come forward.” Mr McLachlan urged residents to get tested for Covid-19, make an appointment to be vaccinated and stay at home. “Regardless of whether you are under stay at home orders or not, the risk remains the same.

Local truckie’s six-point plan By JOHN RYAN

DUBBO truck driver Rod Hannifey has spent much of his life pushing for safer roads and a safer road transport industry as well as advocating on behalf of truckies around the nation to get them a fairer go. As National Road Freighters Association (NRFA) president he’s asked the nation’s politicians to listen to the plan the organisation has developed to improve the lot of the industry. “We represent drivers, owner drivers and transport businesses,” Mr Hannifey said. “Our association praises the trucking industry for the marvellous job it has done and continues to do, in keeping Australia’s freight moving during the Covid-19 crisis. “We have covered millions of kilometres and delivered millions of tons of freight, with absolutely minimal carriage of the virus, due to the often lonely nature of the job.” Mr Hannifey said a behind-thescenes glimpse would show an industry all too often left chasing its tail, trying to comply with not only different interpretations of the rules but complete rule changes, often on a weekly basis. He says the road freight job is tough enough without this inconsistency, where the goal posts, indeed the entire oval, has often been moved overnight. “We want to do the job, we are happy to comply with reasonable requests to do our part, but we must have a fair and equitable base from which to operate,” he said. “Our greatest fear is that our industry will start to crack under the strain. “We are very concerned for truck drivers’ mental health with the constant Covid rule changes between states. “We put this forward with genuine intent, to work with any and all other associations to see us able to continue to keep delivering to Australians, a job we have done so well during this crisis.” Mr Hannifey says NRFA has put forward six problems, but provided six potential solutions in its

Rod Hannifey has spent decades fighting for the rights of Australia’s trucking industry and has carted many senior politicians up and down the Newell Highway in his big rigs. He says truckies have a six-point plan to improve road safety and the conditions drivers are forced to work under. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

six-point plan towards Covid-safe trucking and delivering for all Australians:  We’re happy to do our part and be tested every seven days, nothing less is necessary or fair on us, unless you provide numerous 24/7 testing centres with truck access. Such sites must include vaccinations. We were left out from the essential list and it will take time to catch up. Trying to keep working, get tested every three days and still have to book and que weeks in advance and lose more time/pay to get vaccinated is not only unjust, but unworkable for some. To ensure we can comply and get priority for vaccinations, get test results back in time to cross borders, the road trans-

port industry must be recognised as essential.  We will apply for and carry a National Freight Permit if required, valid in every state and territory, for a minimum period of 14 days. All states must agree. There should be no rule or border changes without industry consultation and without less than two weeks’ notice.  Truck stops must be allowed to operate. We must have access to toilets, showers and facilities if you want us to continue carrying your needs and not get sick or tired trying to comply with multitudes of different rules. No facility should refuse us access to a toilet, we will happily wipe down a seat before and after use. If they fail to

provide us with such facilities (as they must do under law for their staff) they should be fined. We too need toilets.  There must be a moratorium on non-road safety related logbook fines. We are not lawless or above the law, but any fines issued by Police under the HVNL, must be reviewed by NHVR before they will be actioned. We do hope the HVNL review will affect some of these concerns, but it will not be resolved for many months. We cannot continue being fined for clerical and minor time errors. The cost to the community of us fighting such onerous fines for little more than a mistake, is not only a waste of taxpayers’ money, it’s not in any way fair justice.

 We require a National Road Standard, the road should be accepted as our workplace, major crashes investigated and not simply the driver charged first and last. Roads and road repairs must meet that standard or be repaired to that standard within an agreed time frame.  There must be a National Truck Rest Area Strategy to provide suitable and sufficient truck rest areas. This to improve our safety and that of other road users. To improve our ability to get good quality sleep as and when needed. In relation to drivers and sleep, there must be consultation on reasonable size sleeper berths. Not more freight, but better places to live and sleep in when on the road.

number one reason I advertise with the “ The Dubbo Photo News is because they deliver papers everywhere and people are picking the papers up all the time. They are also friendly and easy to work with.

ON THE ROAD

Trucking in a Covid world WHO’D have imagined the way the world has changed over the last 18 months. For me when Covid-19 came to haunt us it was up with September 11th as being so surreal. I can remember that fateful September morning as a second year apprentice getting ready for work with the TV on and not fully comprehending what I was seeing, running late I picked up a co-worker who hadn’t seen the TV and even though he knew more about the World Trade Centre then I did he was totally oblivious to what was going on it was only as we got closer to work and the news bulletins kept coming through on the radio that it started to sink in for both of us that the world had changed overnight. Covid was the same for me I’d been out west loading when the first lockdown started and I’d gone out of mobile service at the start of the day and by that night when I came back into range it wasn’t just check my messages and return some calls instead it was okay what does this all mean for me what will I be able to do, where can I still go and what restrictions will I be under. Thankfully in the transport industry whilst there’s been a lot of new rules and regulations to contend with, as a whole luckily we’ve still been able to keep working. For truckies not crossing state borders it hasn’t been too bad on the rules and regulations side of things, it’s when you cross borders that’s when it gets stupid. At one stage last year we needed a permit to get into NSW from Victoria because Victoria was seen to be unsafe but at the same time you needed a permit to get from NSW into Queensland because Queensland deemed NSW to be unsafe. My favourite one was this year when Victoria was placing restrictions on NSW and at the same time South Australia was putting harsher restrictions on Victoria than what they placed on NSW, very confusing. Every state has its own little twist on getting your permit

and don’t expect it to be the same from permit to permit and they’ve been known to change the requirements without notice. I’m lucky I predominantly only run in NSW and Victoria with the odd Queensland trip and very rare South Australian trip. From what I understand, getting into the Northern Territory can be interesting and Western Australia can be very character building. Getting a Covid test has only been a new experience for me over the last two months, the poor truckies running into West Australia the Northern Territory and on and off South Australia have been getting at least weekly Covid tests for well over 12 months. I think I’m nearly due for Covid test number 30 but I’ve heard of some poor buggers are getting up towards their century. Even the Covid test requirements can get confusing, Queensland requires a negative result before being allowed into the state and that has ranged from being allowed to be up to seven days old down to short period of no more than three days old which can be interesting when it can take up to two plus days to get a result. Victoria doesn’t require a negative result but does require proof of being tested in the last three days. A lot of drivers, myself included, find it just as easy if you get the chance to get tested even if not due yet, then hopefully you’ll be guaranteed of a result when you need it. I ran into Melbourne every week the whole way through the worst of the lockdowns last year and whilst it didn’t affect me personally, watching the mental decline of blokes I see every week did get to me. These were just normal rough and tough knock about blokes but as the lockdowns wore on every one of them had a story to tell about what lockdown was doing to them or a loved one with one common theme being what it was doing to their children or grandchildren. None of these stories affected

me personally but being a person who enjoys talking to people and has compassion for others it does get to you. One story that did get me, before going to my first drop in Melbourne I stopped at a cafe and when I ordered breakfast the lady behind the counter asked what I thought of their lockdown. My reply was colourful, she then said to me “I’ll be honest with you I’m really hurting, I live alone outside of work and grocery shopping I haven’t seen anyone in over three months. I’ve got grandchildren that I can’t see because even if I’m allowed out they’re outside my travel zone and I can’t even see my friends.” Every person I spent any time speaking to all had similar problems. As a truckie, time alone is just part of the job – mind you too much time with your own thoughts can be interesting but it’s still nice to spend time with other human beings. The industry has changed and in many ways not for the better but one of the things I’ve enjoyed since going with dad in his truck as a kid was stopping at your favourite truckstop for a meal and to enjoy some comradery with other drivers. Anyone who’s ever run Sydney in years gone by would probably still have fond memories of stopping at Mount Lambie (before it got burnt down) for one of their infamous milk coffees and a plate of chips or a toasted sandwich. It was just part of the culture and something you looked forward to after the drudgery of getting out of Sydney or try-

ing to get excited about taking on the traffic going in. That one joy of stopping at your favourite truckstop for a recharge and some comradery has all but gone thanks to Covid rules. Every time we go into a lockdown it seems to be the same confusion with truckstops: are they allowed to serve truckies sit down meals or not usually it eventually gets sorted out but in the meantime there is often that one overzealous policeman or health inspector that comes out and threatens the truckstop with a fine if they let drivers sit down to eat or it goes the other way and the truckstop closes its facilities (showers/restaurant/drivers lounge) without any instruction to do so. For drivers on shorter distance work or a regular run where they are going to a depot to load unload etc it’s not so bad but for a lot of drivers like myself and others it starts getting a bit old when week after week you start not being able to get a shower or a decent meal whilst away. It’s starting to feel like we literally are dirty stinking truck drivers just maybe not by choice. Even a lot of truckstops are limiting their hours now. Ones that were 24hours are closing before midnight or closing the kitchen early because with no travelling public its harder to stay open. By the same token I find a lot of the big shiny service centres can be a little bit uncomfortable to stop at now as they seem to pop up all the time as contact points for Covid so if I’m going to stop I make sure it’s

somewhere I’m comfortable with the people around me. In Victoria depending on the stage of lockdown even the Maccas on the highways that are normally 24hours close at 9pm or funnier still are open but only for home delivery, not for someone standing there, unlike Snoopdog on the ads. It sounds too complicated for me to get Maccas delivered to my truck. One of the things I’ve found the hardest for me through all this is my interaction with customers of mine in the bush. I’ve found a lot of outback people are more nervous about Covid than their town counterparts and I know I’ve got to be so conscious of this in my dealings with them. You know whilst they’re trying to be hospitable, at the same time they’re nervous about you being there. Since this latest outbreak and the fact that I’m getting tested every two to three days, silly as it sounds, I normally text through a copy of my latest negative test before getting to the farm. I’ve even said to blokes who’d normally invite me up to the house after loading for a meal and a shower that I’ll say no just so they don’t feel uncomfortable about me being there. As I said, I’m still grateful that I’ve been able to work right through this and I feel for all the business owners who are hurting through no fault of their own having to go broke while fat cat politicians and bureaucrats get on the TV on full pay and keep telling them to sacrifice. I suppose as a plus I’m getting better at creating new ways to cook eggs, toast, bacon, minute steak or chops on my cooker on the side of the road and with less cars on the road there’s less people to see my naked bum showering out of a water tank on the trailer. What a world we live in now, stay safe people.

3. What can be placed on the kerb for collection? As long as you do not exceed your box trailer size limit, most things can be placed on the kerbside. Please ensure whitegoods and other metal items are placed in a separate heap for collection. Please remove doors from old freezers and fridges. Green waste should be placed in a separate heap. This excludes lawn clippings.

4. What items are NOT accepted? Household hazardous waste and liquids such as poisons, oil, paint and batteries will not be collected.

Copping it sweet Future beckons for retiring top cop By the time Geoff McKechnie APM reads this he’ll be a week into life beyond the thin blue line. The former NSW Police Assistant Commissioner and Commander Western Region retired last week after more than three decades of dedicated service to the people of both the state and, particularly, the vast region of the western plains on which he grew up.

Amid the packing boxes that store 33 years’ worth of memories, Geoff sat down with JEN COWLEY on the last day in his office in Dubbo for a reflection on what life will look like on civvy street, and how his career looks in the rear-view mirror of his much-loved Harley. ••• So – tomorrow is D-Day? How are you feeling? (Big sigh) Yes, 33 years – or just over – of working as a police officer comes to an end. I thought I’d retire gracefully, but obviously, Covid-19 has changed the plans a lot. It’s been really busy right up until the end. People tend to wind down to retirement day – that’s certainly not been the case for you, has it? (Laughs) No! There’s been none of that! We had a bit of a plan to get around the region and catch up with everyone and take our new Commander, Brett Greentree, around the traps to introduce him to the civic and community leaders and some of the prominent people in the Aboriginal community around the region, but that just evaporated with Covid-19. It must be very difficult for you, personally and professionally, to leave this office without having been able to say your goodbyes as you would have liked. Well it is, because our organisation is all about people. I know so many people within the cops – we have 1400 officers in western region and I’ve met most of them. I’ve been the commander here over ten years so I know a lot of people in every community. It’s been my great pleasure to meet them all – the western region is

full of fantastic people and some great characters. Will there be an opportunity, even in your retirement – once things open up again, of course – to perhaps circle back around the west and keep those connections? Definitely. That’s certainly part of the plan – to travel around the region a bit. There are some beautiful places in this region, lots of interesting things to see and do and we’ll certainly be doing that in retirement. And I love getting on the motorbike and so does my wife Jan – I have a Harley Street Glide, which is a beautiful, comfortable bike, so we’re looking forward to getting around on that. How does a lad growing up on the mean streets of Mendooran wind up in the police force? I had thought about it a bit while I was a kid. Then in 1988, I was working at Dunedoo as a linesman for Ulan County Council – I was 26 then – and there were two local cops, Keith Edwards and Bruce Pierce, who I used to talk to a bit at football training. They encouraged me to apply so I did. I actually applied to the Ambulance Service at the same time but the letter from the police arrived first. I finished at Dunedoo on the Friday and started at Goulburn (Police Academy) on the Monday. Then I went straight to

Gilgandra from the academy. You mention those two police at Dunedoo who encouraged you, and I know you have been a mentor for many an aspiring young cop – who were your role models in terms of leadership? Role models are so important. I tell our young people that you have to sort of pick the good from a lot of people and model that. But growing up at Mendooran, there were some great policemen there and if we hadn’t had people like that in our little town as kids, who knows what would have happened. We also had some very dedicated school teachers there who really looked after us. There were others, and there are plenty of names I could rattle off, but that’s what it was like growing up in a town like Mendooran, and the police were part of it. Has that been your modelling for your approach to community? Definitely. I’ve never forgotten that, and the need for police to be involved, particularly in our small communities. It’s about getting the right person – someone who’s community minded, who wants to be there, wanting to help people. That’s always been a goal of mine – to try to keep that principle of community policing alive. Is it harder or easier to police in your own home town where you know so many people? In some ways it’s harder. Because I’d grown up in Mendooran, I knew a lot of people in Gilgandra. I didn’t mind the operational work and having to deal with people I knew, but where I struggled sometimes was with fatals – with car accidents in particular. Your heart must be in your mouth at those times. It is. I always found those jobs hard to deal with because you know people. You know the individuals themselves and you know their families. I don’t recommend it to young

people I speak with, not initially certainly – don’t go back to your home town first up. Get a bit of experience first. Over the years, you must have seen the very best and the very worst of humanity. Does that make you hyper vigilant, particularly as a father? How do you keep the “monsters” from coming through your own door? You know what? I think it really helps that I didn’t join until I was 26. I’d been around and done a few things and that stood me in reasonable stead. With my wife Jan being in the job as well has certainly helped because she’s always been a great sounding board. I’ve never really struggled too much with that side of it. If you think in your mind that you did all you could to help people, then that helps. I never got too hung up on that side of things. You were a consultant with the 2018 Australian Law Reform Commission’s enquiry into Aboriginal incarceration rates – what are your thoughts on that area of policing? It’s an area where we could be doing better. It’s a big part of western region policing and if we could influence it positively, it would make such a difference to everyone in our western communities. Incarcerating large numbers of any people is sad and it’s not the answer, in many ways. Some people just have to be in gaol, and that’s across all backgrounds. But my experience tells me it’s more about people coming into the justice system from a very young age because of the circumstances they’re living in. That’s where there needs to be a far greater response from all agencies and government levels, a whole of community approach. Often, the police feel frustrated because there’s so much more to be done and that we can change the outcomes for these young people.

Speaking of change, what’s the greatest change you’ve seen across your career in terms of the way of policing? Technology, for sure. When I came out of the academy, we got all our information by telex. Now, I run this whole region from this (holds up his mobile phone). Technology makes our officers so much more efficient. In terms of crime detection, technology will bring about significant improvements and reduction in crime. It’s ever-present and growing all the time – facial recognition, CCTV, that sort of thing. You won’t be able to go anywhere or do anything where you’re not being either filmed or tracked in some way. Is there any part of you that’s uncomfortable with that, or do you subscribe to the theory that if you’re not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear? Definitely the latter. I don’t have a problem at all with any of it. If you’re not setting out to do the wrong thing, why worry about it? Traditionally the police force has had a bit of a love-hate, albeit symbiotic, relationship with the media in general – when it comes to social media, has it been friend or foe or a little of both? (Pauses, laughs) That’s certainly an interesting question, and it’s an interesting area and we’ve tried to use it very positively in policing. Social media is here to stay and it’s another tool that police will be using well into the future, but there are so many people out there who are just so negative. It’s so easy to put false information out there on social media, there’s no checking. I’m reading some things about our operation at Wilcannia, and about damage to some of the camper vans we have out there to assist with people who need to isolate – people saying they’ve been burned and damaged and all sorts of things. Completely untrue. Absolutely false. There

has been no damage whatsoever. That’s just people putting divisive misinformation on social media trying to stir up trouble. And it has that effect. Like the unrest on Melbourne’s streets recently, which was reportedly exacerbated by being whipped up on social media. On that note, Australians aren’t used to seeing vision of heavily armed riot police on our city’s streets leading the six o’clock news – as a seasoned law enforcement officer, what is your reaction when you see images like that? It’s symptomatic of the times we live in. People are less resilient and it’s so easy to take an aggressive stance on social media or on the streets, and a lot of it is whipped up on social media. With regard to the current unrest and frustrations, I understand that it’s sad. No-one wants to see people out of work or industries shut down, but we’re dealing with a world-wide pandemic that has the potential to so significantly impact on our health system. That’s something people aren’t grasping – the potential for a system overwhelmed, as we’ve

seen in other parts of the world, where people who have a heart attack are left at home to die because there’s no room in the hospitals. When you look back over 33 years in the blue uniform, is there anything you would have done differently? I would have stayed in criminal investigation longer, had I had that choice. That’s the part of the job that I liked the most. Why’s that? (Pauses) I don’t know really. I only did two years in general duties and then I went into the detectives in 1990. From the first time I became involved in a significant criminal investigation, I knew that was what I wanted to do. I loved that work. Probably my proudest achievements in the job have been the significant investigations and murder trials, those we’ve run and won – and we’ve sadly lost a few too, that’s been probably the worst times of my career. But just the opportunity to really help people through criminal investigations, that’s the really rewarding part.

THINK What have I got to lose?

we got through and hopefully we’ve helped these people”. When you wake up on Friday morning on Civvy Street, how do you think it’s going to feel? (Laughs) Yeah, I really don’t know. Strange? It’ll feel strange. I’ve been a commander in this job for 20 years, and a detective for 10 – so I think I’ve been on call for three decades! I’ve had to answer the phone at all hours, and in this job, it’s never good news. When my phone rings in the middle of the night, the news is never good. Nothing good happens after midnight in your line of work? Exactly, that’s it. No one’s ever ringing me up to tell me something good has happened. So I think that will be strange – not to have that responsibility. I will miss it, definitely. I think it’s the people I’ll miss the most not necessarily the work although I love, have loved, the work. I’ll miss the characters we’ve met along the way, the people we’ve worked with, and there’s a tremendous calibre of young people around the region. When I wake up on Friday

morning...well...(sigh)...hopefully it’s a good feeling. We have lots of plans, and although Covid-19 has interrupted things, hopefully we’ll be able to get going on those plans. I’ve made so many friends and met so many people over the years in this job – here and around the world – so I’m hoping to catch up with them over the next little while. I have plenty to keep myself occupied. Our son Matt is intending to join the NSW Police – he starts his uni course in January. Do you think he’s had any good role models? (Laughs) Hopefully, yes! I’d like to think so. He’s seen policing from both his mother and his father all his life, so it’ll be interesting to hear his thoughts and watch how he goes. Well, I know I speak for everyone in the western region when I say we’re glad there’ll still be a McKechnie out there on the thin blue line. Thanks Jen – it’s been a privilege and an honour.

The real pursuit of justice. Exactly. Especially for those who have been killed, they’re not there to put their side of the story. Other police officers have told me there’s a sense of being a voice for the victims who can’t speak for themselves. Do you feel that? You do become a voice for your victims sometimes. You have to be careful with that as well, but it’s a real privilege to be able to represent a family and see justice done. Have you kept in touch with any of those families, or do you have to back away because you’re a reminder of such pain? You certainly have to be very careful, but I still do have contact with some members of families over time. It’s always nice to see those people because for me, policing has always been about helping people. You mentioned the best and the worst, well often you find people at the very worst time of their life and in circumstances that no-one should have to be in, and that’s a real challenge.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Lockdowns ordained by those with no skin in the game The Editor, I personally feel this lockdown and its execution was a poor decision. I have been debating this with some members of the community who work for government institutions, or are in politics, and who have not gone a day without income. The issue is we have people making decisions that impact our lives, businesses, and people’s futures in investments such as tourism and hospitality. This time of year is when businesses usually make enough money to assist us through the quieter months of January and February when there is no tourism (or should I say minimal tourism) but we still have to employ our staff and pay accounts, etc. Without being able to trade properly during this, our peak season, I’m bewildered as to how this sector of the community will fare. This whole situation comes from decisions made by people who have not gone a day without income. I would presume we would not be the only sector of the community so affected, and the Covid lockdown decision will be felt for some time to come. Just my opinion. Rick Lindner, Dubbo

Playground debate leads to bigger question The Editor, By now it is a given that the new Victoria Park playground will have a safety fence installed. The community called for that, and it will be delivered, either by this Council or by the new Council. That’s a good outcome. As a candidate for South Ward in the upcoming local government election, what concerns me is that a large community campaign and petition

was required to solve a problem that shouldn’t have been created in the first place. The underlying process that led us to this point needs to be fixed, otherwise the same problems will keep on happening. It’s time to cure the disease, not simply treat the symptoms. Ratepayers often feel disconnected from the decisions made by council and that they get very little say in how their rate money is spent and what projects are delivered. This needs to change and more consultation is needed on a whole range of issues so that people don’t feel like they are being dictated to. Families tell me they want more playgrounds in parks, a greater number of parks and the inclusion of more accessible play equipment for children with disabilities. I’m strongly committed to delivering this if elected to Council on December 4. Josh Black, South Ward candidate, Dubbo

Finding the best way to manage floodplain harvesting Roy Butler

Member for Barwon ❚ OPINION

THE NSW Legislative Council inquiry into Floodplain Harvesting has a considerable way to go before it makes its findings. I do not seek to influence the work of the committee by making this statement, rather place on the record my thoughts in light of the legal advice provided by Mr Bret Walker AO SC. Mr Walker is a highly regarded figure in the Australia legal profession and has been appointed to several inquiries as a Commissioner, including the South Australian Murray Darling Basin Royal Commission. In my opinion he should be considered an expert in the area of water law. Mr Walker was engaged by the cross-party Legislative Council committee to provide legal advice on eight questions put to him centred on the legality of the practice of floodplain harvesting. Mr Walker’s legal advice has recently been

published as part of the inquiry hearings. Much of the reporting around this has centred on Mr Walker’s opinion on the legality of floodplain harvesting. Mr Walker’s legal advice is clear, the activity of floodplain harvesting was, and is, lawful under NSW law. Narratives to the contrary have obstructed the path to properly regulating floodplain harvesting. It is through proper regulation that we will gain real time monitoring, enforceable limits, and information that allows for proper compliance. It is important to note that the path to regulation has not been without other obstacles. The process has been a debacle, no one is covered in any glory, the arrogance of the government covering its mistakes, misinformation campaigns and the entitlement of many has led us to floodplain harvesting remaining outside of modern regulation. The first floodplain harvesting regulation, was made in haste and I believe in error in February 2020, it was a disgrace and arguably negligent and was rightly disallowed. The second floodplain harvest-

ing regulation, May 2021, allowed for two activities to occur. In simple terms they allowed for the transfer of the 1912 Water Act rights to take floodplain water to the new Water Management Act 2000. Secondly the regulations provide advice about measuring and compliance models to be used in the making of Water Sharing Plans under the Water Management Act. What does this all mean? The rights under the 1912 Water Act do not contain any volumetric restrictions, and they are not required to measure take. By transferring them to the Water Management Act they attract significant restrictions. By bringing these rights, which remain legal despite the age of the legislation, into modern law

it means they must meet the standards of other water licencing practices namely agreed volumetric limits and enforceable compliance with those limits. Without passing such a floodplain harvesting regulation we remain stuck with a practice that is lawful but outside modern law and therefore modern monitoring and compliance practices. Poor policy work by this current NSW Government, their lack of transparency in the water portfolio decision-making has allowed for mistrust in the NSW Government’s ability to manage water to cement in. It is in this environment mistruths have been able to flourish. Right now across the entire NSW Murray-Darling Basin both north and south there are illegal flood diversion banks and structures – the NSW Government has an ever growing list of where they are, and ` they’re sitting on it. Right now across the This is just one piece of informaentire NSW Murraytion they should release (in a manDarling Basin both north ner that protects the identities of and south there are illegal the property owners) immediately flood diversion banks and if they want to improve their repstructures... a utation. From the date of publication an 18-month deadline on their

removal should start. The NSW Government should then provide regular, ongoing updates on the decommissioning of these structures to the public. This is just one thing the NSW Government and the Water Minister should be doing to improve the transparency around water management in this State. Many will want a black and white answer from me on the following question, one I have been asked many times during this debate, one that fails in my opinion to capture the complexity of water management in NSW – Roy, do you or do you not support floodplain harvesting? My answer as I have always said is I support use of water off the floodplain, out of the river or ground within sustainable and legal limits. All forms of take need to be metered and in a Water Sharing Plan so that Available Water Determinations (AWD’s) and current conditions can vary levels of take. There has been no change in the position I took to the election in 2019. z Roy Butler is the Member for the state seat of Barwon

THE Orana region has always punched well above its weight in the volunteering stakes, and this week some of our most dedicated residents have been recognised at the NSW Volunteer of the Year awards for their outstanding efforts. Dubbo’s Bruce McDermaid was named 2021 Orana Volunteer of the Year, while Janice Stanford was named Senior Volunteer of the Year for the region, and the Rotary Club of Narromine took the honours as the team of the year. Mr McDermaid volunteers for the Justice Advocacy Service, supporting young people and those living with an intellectual disability in the justice system. He attends court in Dubbo two to three days a week to ensure clients who may be victims, witnesses, suspects, or defendants understand their legal rights and are emotionally supported. He has supported clients at almost 50 visits in police stations, correctional facilities and courts across the Orana region. Mrs Stanford is a long-standing and active volunteer at the Terramungamine branch of the CWA, and has served as both treasurer and secretary. As branch president for the past five years, she has helped connect existing and

new volunteers with the organisation through various events and activities. The nine volunteer members of Narromine Rotary run the club’s food van at local events, and their efforts raise more than $20,000 in 2020 for reinvestment in their local community. The club members also maintain walking tracks, bird habitats and picnic areas at the Narromine Wetlands, which is a long-time project of the club. The club has built shelters and picnic facilities and planted trees and continues to maintain the facility which is an important tourist and ecology attraction for the town. The NSW State of Volunteering Report recently found that volunteers contribute more than $127 billion annually to the state in terms of social and economic benefits, and concluded that every dollar invested in volunteering services returns $3.30 in economic benefit. There are 4.9 million volunteers in NSW who in the past year alone contributed 1.5 billion hours to their communities. Dubbo Photo News extends thanks and congratulations for these well-deserved recognitions, and to all the very special volunteers who help make the Orana region such a great place to live.

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.

SPORT Thrilla’s and Rumbles

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

By GEOFF MANN FIRST there was the “Thrilla in Manilla”, then came the “Rumble in the Jungle” as the world’s best heavyweight boxers slugged it out on the world stage. This Sunday night the NRL “match of the century” will be known as Apex Oval Mk II when Penrith and South Sydney meet at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane to decide the heavyweight champion of the NRL! What a delicious offering! The “Western Panthers” led by Dubbo’s Isaah Yeo and Matt Burton with Brent Naden (Wellington), Charlie Staines (Forbes) and Liam Martin (Temora) tackle Wayne Bennett’s Rabbitohs. Undoubtedly these are the two most popular clubs west of the mountains. The Panthers have a formal Pathways Academies at Bathurst and Dubbo continuing a relationship with Western Division that began in 1967 when CYMS centre/winger Wayne Peckham signed up for the club’s foray into the NSWRL. Isaah will be aiming to follow Cowra’s champion hooker Royce Simmons onto the podium and raise the Provan-Summons Trophy. “Roycey” was the skipper when Penrith downed Canberra Raiders 19-12 at a packed Sydney Football Stadium. Another St Johns’ and CYMS junior Andrew Ryan raised the trophy with Canterbury Bulldogs in 2004 and the legendary Eugowra coach Ian Walsh who was St George captain when they won the last of their unequalled 11 premierships in 1966. Others to play for the “chocolate soldiers” as the original brown striped Penrith team was known include Ross Cale (Narromine) and John Farragher (Gilgandra). The two Western Division forwards were in the front row together in 1977 when a scrum collapse left “Pug” in a wheelchair. He and Ross remain strong friends. Former CYMS coach Tim Ryan was part of the Panthers junior

nursery before heading to Parramatta, Ben Williams did his league apprenticeship with Penrith and Parkes outstanding junior David Elvy played 17 first grade games before returning to the west. CYMS coach Barry Harris played alongside Peckham in the first Panthers team and coached the club in later years while Parkes outstanding fullback Mike Leary spent five years as a player and then assumed the role of Penrith CEO. Macquarie’s champion premiership-winning coach Noel Sing brought his young family from the foot of the mountains to the western plains in the mid-70s. Kangaroos second-rower Ron Lynch (Forbes”) finished his career with the Panthers after a stellar career at Parramatta, CYMS and Western Division Amco Cup winner John “Punchy” Wilson played 23 first grade games and future Forbes premiership-winner Dominic Drady played two while Coonabarabran hooker Wayne Brain chalked up a dozen. Rangy back-rower Matt Goodwin (West Wyalong) was capped 119 times for Penrith and played seven matches with Souths before retiring because of injury. Tony Trudget (Oberon), Paul Dunn (Bathurst), Simon Hauville (Parkes), Brian Norrie (Eugowra) and Bourke duo Timana Tahu and Luke Walsh have also worn the Panthers colours. Souths have had their share of westerners as well. Terry Fahey was tagged “the Redfern Express” by coach Jack Gibson when he wore the famous cardinal and myrtle guernsey when he signed up from Wellington in 1976. Other western products include Gilgandra’s Cec King, whose son Johnny was to coach the Rabbitohs after leading Western Division to the 1974 Amco Cup. Narromine’s Patrick Smith led Souths in half a dozen games in 1980 while son Justin played 30 of his 142 appearances in red and green. Others include David “Nana” Grant (Trangie/CYMS),

final with Westside then stayed in Rabbitohs colours for 113 games from ‘84-90. “Bundy’’ developed a reputation as a no-nonsense player with plenty of skills who went on to play four Tests and five State of Origin games for the Blues. When one looks through these

lists it is easy to see why Penrith and Souths drew 10,000 through the gates at Apex Oval in the battle of the west I. Sunday’s NRL decider will both divide and unite western rugby footy fans as the Panthers and Rabbitohs run out for Apex Oval II.

Dubbo Demon a Coonamble vet! By GEOFF MANN

EMILY Warner grew up in South Australia, practised her drop punt and hand passing skills with her brother and followed the Adelaide Crows. It seems quite bizarre then that it took a career move to Coonamble where rugby is played by Rams and league by Bears, for this Rules’-loving athlete to find a team of Demons to fulfil her lifelong dream! Emily Warner’s passion for Aussie Rules has seen her pack her boots each week and trav-

el upwards of 800kms return from her home on the Baradine side of Coonamble to compete in the Central West AFLW with the Dubbo Demons. The naturally talented onballer with an appetite for the contest and an eye for the posts has just been named the Central West Player of the Year for the second year in a row. “I really enjoy playing with a good group of girls. I was so excited when I found out there was a women’s comp and started with the Demons in 2017.” In her second season Emily and a very good team won the

premiership. “It was the best day ever. There’s nothing like winning an AFL Grand Final and the whole club celebrated our win.” Unfortunately player movements, work and other commitments left the premiers without a team in 2019 and then Covid has impacted the last two years. “Hopefully 2022 will be more like normal so we can finish our comps. We are building up nicely to the finals this year but we’ll never know,” Em laughed. The young Demon is not fazed by travel.

“It’s what we do in the bush!” Emily plans to play for as long as she can. “The Dubbo Demons club has lots of energy and there are now pathways for young girls to come through. I really enjoyed having some of the Youth League players training with us and helping fill our team as the season progressed. I can’t wait for next season”. If omens are anything to go by, the Dubbo club would like nothing more than to follow the path of the Melbourne Demons and celebrate their 41st year with another premiership.

Zac Gooch aces it By JOHN RYAN HE’S 13 in one! During lockdown and home learning, some of his Zoom lessons were replaced by time on the golf course for 13-year-old

Zac Gooch and that practice is paying off. The teenager decided some of his subjects needed to be replaced by an intake of Vitamin D, so he deemed his outside exploits as his own personal

sports carnival and spent hours on the golf course trying to better his game. Zac received his handicap a month ago and has won twice, that initial handicap of 39 diminishing to 28 in light of his

recent successes. Zac was playing with one of his grandfathers, Chris Foyster, when he earned his hole in one. Dad Bernard scored a holein-one some 25 years ago off

the old 10th tee-off as a young adult, so it looks like becoming something of a family tradition. “It helps that we back on to the golf course, which allows plenty of practice,” Zac told Dubbo Photo News.
