School closed for Covid clean By JOHN RYAN JUST as the Dubbo Regional Local Government Area was seeing an easing of lockdown restrictions came the first hiccup, with Wellington Public School forced to close for a deep clean after a positive Covid test relating to a member of the school community was identified.

DOG-GONE AFTERNOON

PREMONITION: While shopping for groceries Pat O’Brien had a feeling something was wrong

By JOHN RYAN

WHEN Pat O’Brien was at South Dubbo IGA on Sunday, he felt like he’d lost something. “When I was shopping in IGA, I felt strange, as though I’d left something behind, and I kept thinking I’d lost something. I must have had a mental connection somehow that he’d been taken,” Mr O’Brien told Dubbo Photo News, referring to the family’s much-loved pet kelpie Jock. Continued on page 2

Little did he know that his premonition would come true – he’d tied his much-loved pet Jock up to the post out the front, and left his cushion and a bowl of water with him, but when Mr O’Brien walked out after shopping, his mate was gone. “I felt shocked, I felt terrible, I didn’t know what had happened. I was fearful, I thought I wouldn’t get him back.” IGA staff swung into action, speaking to potential witnesses and rolling back through the security camera footage of the previous minutes to try and find some clues. Pat and wife Diane couldn’t be more thankful. “CCTV footage from the supermarket picked up the moment when Jock was taken and put into a car. The staff at IGA were very helpful and called the police and they turned up and took all the details,” Pat said. Pat and Diane said the police were great and they’ve also praised the broader community, with their story going viral on social media.

“We got a great lot of support from people. I’m very proud of how the community responded and helped us out and comforted us.” IGA posted stills from the CCTV footage and someone recognised the car that took Jock away. “The key was, somebody who saw the CCTV footage had sold the car... They called the police and gave them the details of the person they sold it to,” Pat said. Police followed up those leads and located Jock, safe and sound. “We can’t thank the police enough,” Diane said. “I got the message on my phone from the police to say they’d found him. “I was at IGA at the time and when I called out ‘we’ve got our dog back’, the staff all started clapping and cheering. It really was such a joyous reaction and response.” The person who had the dog apparently claimed they thought Jock was distressed. Apparently, no further police action will be taken, and no charges will be laid. Pat and Diane are proud of the

Dubbo community, even though they usually call Sydney’s Eastwood home. They are currently renting a house next door to their daughter’s family to be with the grandkids. Diane said it was great to be in Dubbo during lockdown. “We came here in May expecting to be here for a few weeks but when the lockdown came, we were happy to have the grandkids over the fence, even though that was as close as we got,” she said. “We were lucky to be here in the fresh air and in our garden. I think if we’d been in Sydney it probably would have been a lot more lonely.” The couple obtained Jock from a Yeoval shearer about four years ago. The kelpie has a beautiful nature but wasn’t a natural in the sheds so he became the O’Brien’s rescue dog.

Pat takes him ffor walks at least once daily and Diane says Jock’s friendly and alert nature has made him a favourite around South Dubbo. But that’s not the main reason Jock is far more than a family pet. “About two months ago, Pat was walking him one night and he was almost home so he let Jock off the lead. But Pat then had a dizzy spell and he fell over on the road,” she said. “He was unconscious and Jock came back and sat beside him; we don’t know how long he was unconscious but a bus driver was coming along the street and saw them and got out and got Pat up, so Jock stayed beside him.” Pat made a solid recovery and has since been fitted with a pacemaker. The couple say they owe so much to the faithful pooch’s great loyalty.

Expansion of mental health workforce

PUFF VISITS DUBBO

A $21 MILLION contribution towards expansion of the state’s Aboriginal mental health and suicide prevention workforce is part of a $131 million mental health recovery package being offered by the government. Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said the lockdown has exacerbated underlying mental health conditions and added to people’s distress levels, especially among groups known to be at greater risk of suicide. “We know that mental health issues and thoughts of suicide can emerge in the weeks, months and years after a trauma, so our focus over the next two years is connecting people with the most appropriate services and support as early as possible.”

Library branches to reopen

Mining project delayed by pandemic By NATALIE LEWIS DUBBO’S rare earths project is moving forward, but ongoing border closures have slowed progress on the multi-million-dollar venture. The latest report released by Dubbo Project owner Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) last week has shown that limitations on travel have also slowed interaction with the company’s Korean investment network. ASM Managing Director David Woodall said technical due diligence of the project is occurring under the framework agreement held with Korean investors. However, due to Covid-19 travel restrictions between Australia and Korea and domestically, and the extensive nature

of the process, it has not been completed as initially anticipated. In a separate agreement, ASM has also appointed the ANZ Banking Group to facilitate financ-

ing and to act as its debt financial advisor. Mr Woodall said the appointment was based on ANZ’s experience and strong relationships in both Australia and Korea.

“ANZ’s appointment facilitates further engagement with debt providers that include Australian and Korean export finance agencies,” he said. “We continue to pro-

gress the financing of the Dubbo Project, the development of which will provide an alternate, sustainable, secure and stable supply of high purity and clean critical metals directly into the Korean manufacturing sector. “We look forward to updating the market as we continue to progress the transaction.” ASM entered the Korean partnership in July, which would give the consortium a 20 per cent equity interest in the Dubbo Project. The Dubbo Project is located near Toongi, and has been founded on a proposed long-term polymetallic resource development containing rare earths, zirconium, niobium, and hafnium; all critical metals essential for advanced and clean technologies.

By JOHN RYAN TARONGA Western Plains Zoo opened its gates this week, just days after some of the zoo’s most endangered native animals were released back into the wild. As regional travel opened up and the zoo’s front of house staff were welcoming their guests, behind the scenes workers hadn’t let the Covid-19 lockdowns stop the vital work of bolstering native animal populations in the wild. In this case, eight tiny Plains-wanderers which had been bred at Taronga’s Sydney and Dubbo zoos were released into Victoria’s Northern Plains. Taronga Western Plains Zoo director Steve Hinks said Monday’s reopening was in accordance with the current NSW public health orders. Visitor numbers were capped to ensure safe distancing throughout the zoo and all guests required to pre-purchase tickets online for a specific date. “Our region has been hard hit by the recent Covid-19 outbreak, so it is great to be at a point where we can safely reopen again and provide some much-needed respite to families for the purpose of recreation and spending time out-

doors,” Mr Hinks said. “Whilst we have been temporarily closed to the public, our dedicated staff have continued to take care of the animals at the zoo and undertake maintenance work throughout the site to ensure the zoo is ready for reopening.” Other measures in place include: z Zoo Friends members and complimentary ticket holders will also be required to register their visit online before attending the zoo z In line with the NSW Public Health Order, the zoo will be

open to: - People aged 16 years and over who are fully vaccinated - People aged 16 years and over who are medically exempt from vaccination - All young people aged under 16 z Masks must be worn in indoor spaces, indoor exhibits and viewing areas, with capacity limits in these areas z Keeper talks, animal encounters and tours will not resume at this time. However guests will be able to view virtual keeper talks

on their handheld devices while in the zoo grounds Taronga Western Plains Zoo will continue to carefully follow all safe distancing guidelines: z Additional cleaning will be undertaken, particularly around bathrooms, food service areas and hard surfaces in frequently visited areas z Overnight experiences will have a staggered reopening timeframe, with Zoofari Lodge (October 18), Billabong Camp (October 23) and Savannah Cabins (November 1). z Signage encouraging safe distancing and hygiene measures has been installed throughout the Zoo, along with sanitisation stations. Staff are hoping that the tiny Plains-wanderers, now outside the zoo gates for the first time, will be able to keep their social distance from any predators. “Wild populations of Plains-wanderers have declined dramatically, maybe more than 90 per cent, in the past 20 years. with estimates suggesting there are fewer than 1000 individuals across the two remaining wild habitats in the Northern Plains of Victoria and the Riverina in New South Wales.”

Driverless vehicle to be trialled in Dubbo By NATALIE LEWIS IT won’t be long before locals and visitors to Dubbo will be whizzing around the city in a driverless car, with the Regional Autonomous Vehicle Trial close to being implemented on road. A report by Dubbo Regional Council’s senior traffic engineer Dennis Valantine tabled at its Infrastructure and Liveability Committee meeting outlines the plan for a designated car parking space in Macquarie Street for the vehicle which was initially proposed by the NSW Government in 2018. Transport for NSW, automated transport developer Conigital, engineering company Amey and local

stakeholders have partnered to deliver the autonomous vehicle technology in regional NSW, with Dubbo selected as a host for the trial. Mr Valantine said that the trial will operate as a “multi-point on-demand transport service utilising stations”. A tablet will be provided for customers without smart phones and a phone app will be available to connect passengers to Dubbo City Regional Airport, the Visitor Information Centre and Taronga Western Plains Zoo. The technology will be applied to a crew cab ute that will look like any other ute on the road, except for signs and logos denoting it as a connected and autonomous trial vehicle. Council’s CEO Murray Wood ad-

dressed the meeting regarding the vehicle trial, describing it as “an exciting development”. “This project we have is being delivered working with a UK technology business so it will be globally significant. It will allow us to have a new piece of innovation to do with autonomous travel to take place in Dubbo.” Mr Wood said the operational companies were very excited to test their technology so they can experience kangaroo country. “For Dubbo, it builds our reputation as a place to do innovation. While the report is about parking, the overall project is very exciting. It’s been impacted by Covid significantly, but it’s great to see it coming to fruition on our patch,” he said.

Driverless vehicle technology will soon be trialled on Dubbo roads.

Meantime, Dubbo was the centre of attention yesterday (Wednesday, October 20) when NSW Covid Task Group Commander Colonel Warwick Young visited the city to observe first-hand the Defence Force’s contribution in support of NSW Health and NSW Police in Dubbo and the broader region. Orana Mid-Western commander Danny Sullivan told Colonel Young the assistance from the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) had been crucial. “It’s very important that we acknowledge the contribution of our ADF partners in this operation,” Supt Sullivan said. In the 24 hours to 8pm on Tuesday, October 19, there were five new cases of Covid-19 identified in the Western NSW Local Health District, two of those in Wellington, two in Walgett and one in Dubbo. One of those cases has been identified as being in the community while infectious, one case has been identified as not being in the community while infectious, three cases remain under investigation, and none of those five are known to be linked to previously confirmed cases.

Accessibility granted By JOHN RYAN UNTIL you’ve lived with a disability you cannot possibly know the challenges that are faced on a daily basis and Dubbo man Ryan Medley is determined to use the defining moment which confined him to a wheelchair to help others less fortunate. The concreter was playing rugby league for CYMS in 2017 when he suffered C5 spinal cord damage. After years in the building trade, and now four years in a wheelchair, he’s combined his knowledge of the building industry with his lived experience in a wheelchair to work out how to offer innovative solutions for people struggling with access and liveability issue in their daily lives. He’s set to build a 10-unit, 20-bedroom single story town house development on Queen Street which is designed to provide flexibility and options for people with a range of disabilities. The $2.2m project has close and easy access to amenities, the main street, train station, museum, art gallery, aquatic centre, hotel, supermarket and Victoria Park. “We’re over the moon that we’ll

be able to take it from the plans to it being built, the construction of 10 two-bedroom units independently designed for disability,” Mr Medley told Dubbo Photo News. He’s pleased to have been able to use his background in the trades with his lived experience in a wheelchair to deliver a valuable cumulative insight into how the project can work for future tenants. “I guess from the lived-experience of it, the human factor, it seemed like a bit of a no-brainer to get into the disability sector when all I’ve known is construction work. “We had a few different locations in mind, we didn’t want to go to the suburbs as transport can be a tough thing for people with disabilities so the central location gave us a position for people to live a more independent life.” As one of the largest regionally-based providers of disability and aged care services, LiveBetter will provide supported independent living care for the project’s residents. LiveBetter executive general manager operations Briette Parish said the project could usher

in a whole new way for her organisation to offer accommodation for clients and believes it will set a new benchmark for other developers. “The opportunities which will be created for people with a disability to live in purpose-built and also accessible accommodation setting – Ryan has created that – it’s really thoughtful and the de-

sign aspects are centred around accessibility,” she said. “The property itself is unique in that it will be the first time people with a disability will have options for their housemates. It can be a family member. So this is, for Live Better, a unique service model and certainly something that is shaping our future in terms of our service model.

“The project, with a local and lived experience, paired with a local and regional provider. It couldn’t be a better partnership.” The build is scheduled to be completed mid-2022. “We’ve aimed for an eight to 10 month construction period. I’d like to think by June next year, we’d have sets of keys for happy residents,” Mr Medley said.

Environment Council’s spray drift concerns

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By NATALIE LEWIS THE Central West Environment Council has shared its concerns about the potential risks of spray drift on human and plant life in a recent online presentation about passive chemical pollution. Presented by Narromine’s Bruce Maynard, the webinar centred on trees dying in the local area and what can be done to reduce the issue. Mr Maynard explained that dead foliage at the top of trees showed that air pollution was impacting their wellbeing. He outlined the risk potential for the Lower Macquarie from cotton plantations in the area and the effects of spray drift from farm activities. “The trees are signals of what is happening,” he explained. “The effects on the cropping zone are very disappointing. The trees show the evidence of impacts. Any proposition that it’s drought related is totally incorrect. “The problem is that vegetation across a number of regions has shown that chemicals are spread quite considerably further than their application site. A small amount of chemical particles are

moving through our landscape.” Mr Maynard said the evidence of spray damage is shown by distinct marks on the leaves. “It’s very clear that cotton areas are in very serious decline when you have had distinct necrotic spots on the leaves. If it is disease, insects or internal pathogens, it will be affecting the whole plant.” Anything from agapanthus to zucchinis can be affected and Mr Maynard said human health is of paramount concern. “These sorts of effects are seen out of season and well-observable once you get your eye out. It’s visible on trees, vegetables and garden plants. “It falls on trees, people, food with repeated exposure and there’s no way of escaping that. You are getting this passively when you didn’t ask for it.” Mr Maynard urged community members to come forward with any issues and believes food producers are afraid to speak publicly because of the risk to their livelihood. “Repeated levels of exposure are directly affecting the base of the food chain,” he said. “How many exposures are we getting from living in these areas? What can we do as a community

and industry to protect ourselves?” According to Mr Maynard, industry body Cotton Australia is aware of the issues and has advocated for major changes in conventional spray operations. “Cotton Australia admits the chemicals travel in excess of 20km,” he said. “Their best practice includes the advice to “always check for nearby sensitive areas and crops”. The Central West Environment Council has contacted the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Meat and Livestock Authority (MLA), Department of Primary Industries (DPI), various politicians and the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety to air their concerns. They want to raise awareness in the community about factors affecting the natural environment. “I think it’s important that people ask where is cotton in my area and how might I be impacted,” he said. “Particularly if you’re subject to multiple effects from multiple fields and there are many applications during a season. “Multiple spraying means multiple exposures.” Mr Maynard said any public observation of passive chemical pollution should be reported.

“If you do see damage in your area that hasn’t been explored, it’s a requirement (of the EPA) to send staff to do an assessment.” Call the EPA Pollution hotline on 131 555 if you spot a problem. Visit stoppoisonplanes.com for more information. ••• A LOT of information is publicly available on spray drift reduction including mapping and a conditions guide offered with chemical products. SataCrop is a tool used to mitigate the risk of spray drift by allowing operators to understand where sensitive crops are located in proximity to their spray operation. SataCrop has the ability to map all crop types, including cotton, grains and tree crops. University research has also been conducted into ways to reduce spray drift and the EPA regulates mismanagement of spray drift under the Pesticides Act 1999, working with communities to reduce spray drift by providing guidance and advice. One education campaign involved the EPA working with the NSW Farmers Association, Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) and Cotton Australia.

Dubbo businesses named best in the west IT’S been a more than usually challenging couple of years for regional businesses, and just keeping the doors open is no mean feat, so for three Dubbo enterprises to be named the best in the west is cause for great celebration. The Western NSW Business Awards are held to recognise growth and entrepreneurship, and to celebrated business success across the central west, Orana and far west regions, which are home to some of the most diverse regional economies in the nation. Dubbo’s Ben Furney Flour Mills was named the overall winner of the 2021 Excellence in Business awards, which has been operating for more than a century in the heart of the NSW wheat belt and is an Australian owned and operated family company in an industry dominated by multinationals. The Outstanding Community Organisation Award saw renowned Dubbo community-based not-for-profit Orana Early Childhood Intervention (OECI) named winner for its excellence in providing holistic specialised services to support children with a disability or developmental delay. Unique small business 123Tix took out the Excellence in Micro Business Award, commended for its growth as an event ticketing provider and for taking on the “big boys” of the national and international ticket agency industry. Winners from the Western NSW Regional Business Awards will become finalists at the State Business Awards in late November.

Zoo volunteer’s animal magnetism By NATALIE LEWIS DOUG Bost loves animals and meeting people, so being a zoo volunteer is a good fit for the former paramedic. “When I was younger, I wanted to be a vet,” he explained. At home in Wellington, he has two horses and two cats, but his favourite animal at Taronga Western Plains Zoo is the Galapagos Tortoise. Doug loves the sense of mystery offered by the ancient creatures, and enjoys giving zoo visitors an overview of the tortoises’ history in the animal kingdom, particularly their incredible lifespan of more than a century in the wild and up to 177 years in captivity. “They were around with the dinosaurs,” Doug said. “The fact that they live such a long life – they fascinate and intrigue me.” Doug also enjoys the human nature element of zoo life. “I like meeting people and helping them with any questions they might have. Talking about the animals, passing on knowledge and getting people interested in the animals and the things they hadn’t thought about before.” Doug also talks to visitors about conservation efforts being made by the zoo. “I tell them about the work we do with Bilbies, Regent Honeyeaters and Black Rhinos. “My other favourite animal at the zoo is the Greater One Horned Rhino.” Doug became interested in working at the zoo after a fellow

Have your say on train station upgrade

THE local community is invited to have their say on a $1.2m accessibility upgrade at Dubbo Train Station. The proposal includes a new kiss and ride zone, improved toilet facilities and upgraded accessible paths and ramps and is being delivered as part of the government’s Transport Access Program. Feedback on the early concept design is invited before November 7. All submissions will be reviewed and will help guide the final design. Subject to planning approval, the project is expected to be completed in mid-2022.

Rail virtual tender writing workshop

member of WATS (Wellington Amateur Theatrical Society) told him about its benefits. “When I first retired, I was a driver for Bellhaven nursing home; I used to take residents on outings. When it closed, I looked around for something else.” Doug did his zoo training in

March 2020 and became certified last October. Unfortunately, COVID-19 restrictions forced him out of the sector while the zoo was closed during extensive lockdowns. After such a long break, he’s eager to get back into the swing of things when he returns in

November. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. When he’s not “zoo-ing”, Doug is also learning bass guitar with the Wellington Town Band and enjoys line dancing as well as standing in for Santa Claus at preschool Christmas events.

A VIRTUAL tender writing workshop will be held from 9am to 12pm on Thursday, October 21, and 9am to 10.30am on Tuesday, October 26, to help businesses prepare for Australian rail company UGL’s procurement process as part of the government’s Regional Rail Project. The workshop will be held via Zoom.

Kids clinic on the move

KING’S EYE VIEW

DUBBO Child and Family Health is moving in December, as part of a shift of all clinical and corporate services from the Hawthorn St site. The services will be relocated to the Dubbo Community Health Centre in Palmer St, giving patients access to a more centralised and integrated service. Western NSW Local Health District Manager Primary and Community Health Leonie Beashel said the Palmer Street development will help her team continue providing first-class care in a fresh space. “The team is looking forward to welcoming patients to the improved Palmer Street site when work is finished,” she said. “Appointments will continue as planned at Hawthorn Street until work in finished, before the Child and Family Health team will relocate and join the other clinical teams at the Palmer Street site.”

While the world’s, and Dubbo’s, daily anxieties play out at ground level, this beautiful Sacred Kingﬁsher sits above the crowd exercising a bird’s eye view of the evolving situation. There’s no sign-ins, no politics, no need to show up to work for this Macquarie River local. “Lockdowns? What lockdowns?” he asked our eagle eyed photographer Ken Smith.

Inspired by their journey with the condition that each year directly afflicts 400,000 Australians the pair – both accomplished artists – will next month host the inaugural Art in the Garden in support of Dementia Australia and Alzheimer’s Research. Lorraine’s stunning Dubbo garden – already well known to local green-thumbs and garden-lovers – will be thrown open for an art exhibition of works submitted for a share of $3000 in prize money. The theme for the art competition is “Memory Makers”, a nod to the devastating impact of dementia and Alzheimer’s on the cognitive capacity of sufferers. “There’s a synergy with

Alzheimer’s because it’s a disease that steals your memories,” says Laura. “We’ve asked people to paint an image that reminds them of living or working in our central west region- the reason we went with the theme “Memory Makers” is that as an artist you draw on your memory to create an image or an emotion that comes with the image you’ve created.” The response to the call for entries has been “phenomenal” says Laura, who will judge the competition along with fellow local artist Mark Horton and friend Scott Papworth who is a builder as was her father whom the event honours. “The entries came from all over the state, but we did ask that artists be from the central west – we really wanted that connection to Dubbo and for the memories captured in the artworks to reflect that connection.”

There will be a cocktail party on Saturday, November 20 – to announce the winning entry. Art in the Garden on Sunday, November 21 – an exhibition of all entries held in the beautiful surrounds of Lorraine’s garden. There will be raffles and prizes, and lunch will be available for purchase. A “people’s choice” award will allow guests to vote on their favourite work throughout the weekend, with the winner announced on Sunday. Covid-19 regulations will apply according to public health orders in place at the time. Tickets are available through 123tix.

YOUR STARS ARIES: You certainly won’t keep quiet this week. Plus, your phone will be ringing constantly as loved ones reach out to you with invitations. If you’re in a new relationship, the idea of living together or starting a family will be on your mind. TAURUS: You might receive a promotion at work, and you’ll be quite pleased with the increase in salary. A few people around you will be jealous, so use your discretion. In terms of matters of the heart, a romantic renewal will be enjoyable. GEMINI: Given that you’re a sensitive and generous person, you’ll spend a lot of time with those you care about. It’s important to be organised so that you can turn obligations into pleasant experiences, even work-related ones. CANCER: You find yourself in a period of reflection and benefit from a burst of creativity. You’ll definitely need to get out of the house a few times in order to enjoy some

fresh air. LEO: If you’re single, you’ll be asked out a few times. Social media may help you discover new friendships. These platforms can also be used to showcase yourself and increase your client base. VIRGO: You’ll ﬁnd that you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders. Fortunately, you have strong organisational skills that allow you to be very efficient. Time will be in short supply, which is a source of stress. LIBRA: What’s the next trip you want to take? All you have to do is imagine it, or at least apply the laws of attraction to ensure all the pieces fall into place. In terms of your career, a learning experience will prove proﬁtable. SCORPIO: It’s a very emotional time. Fortunately, this will help fuel your creativity. You’ll have to take care of someone close to you, but the person will do the same for you

in the future. Plus, the experience will allow you to forge a stronger relationship. SAGITTARIUS: It’s easier to get along with people if you’re not personally involved. One of your children could very well be playing with your emotions in order to get special treatment. CAPRICORN: For one reason or another, you might feel increasingly ill this week. Fortunately, this will prompt you to seek out the right specialist and, in turn, an appropriate treatment. AQUARIUS: You’ll accomplish a feat that will make you proud and improve your self-esteem, which is crucial to your well-being. You might also be able to rescue someone who’s in trouble. PISCES: Small changes to your diet will help you quickly reach your health goals. You’ll also be inspired to start a small business from the comfort of your own home, and soon it’ll ﬂourish.

New guidelines for ﬁsheries Foundation creating set of guidelines is expected to secure drought resilient leaders AtheNEW future of fisheries in NSW.

...would smell as sweet. Spring time brings a blaze of colour across local gardens and this blooming beauty was too pretty not to share! PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ NATALIE LEWIS

APPLICATIONS have opened for a Future Drought Fund program to develop leaders and drive conversations and action on drought preparedness in the North West Slopes and Plains and Western NSW. The Drought Resilient Leaders program – a partnership between the Federal Government and the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation – will support young people with a passion for agriculture across the Parkes electorate to develop skills to benefit their communities in times of drought, now and in the years ahead. Anyone over 18 is encouraged to throw their hat in the ring for this opportunity. For more information, visit www.rural-leaders.org.au/programs/ drought-resilience-leaders-program

The NSW Harvest Strategy Policy will underpin consistency in development of harvest strategies and will be released along with harvest strategy guidelines, offering practical implementation for fisheries managers. The documents will support strategy development for single species up to multi species for both large and small-scale fisheries. The policy and associated guidelines were developed in conjunction with a range of stakeholders including the Commercial and Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Councils, the Aboriginal Fishing Advisory Council, and the Ministerial Fisheries Advisory Council (MFAC).

Furry best mates a big part the Kintyre Package at Kintyre Living Jenni and Ian Spratt are relatively new residents at Kintyre, having moved into the village in January this year, but already they’ve settled in like old hands, thanks largely to the fact that they were able to bring Ian’s much-loved red cattle dog, Lana, with them. Ian lives with Alzheimer’s Disease, so the continuity of having his beloved best mate by his side has been invaluable, according to Jenni who says Lana, a rescue dog who is about eight years old, is an important part of their lives. “Having Lana around is wonderful for Ian – she gives him focus. I’ll say to him, “Lana needs her walk now” and I can pack them off to go for a walk around Kintyre. “He’s devoted to her –

she’s constantly with him.” Being able to bring Lana with them to Kintyre was very important in terms of as smooth a transition for Ian as possible. “To be able to take a dog into a retirement village, particularly a red cattle dog, is fantastic,” says Jenni. “There was never any question from management that we couldn’t bring her – they understood how important she is to Ian. “She is his constant companion – she loves him and he loves her. It’s really good for his mind.” Jenni is full of praise for Kintyre’s management and the way they recognise the importance and value of the bond between people and their pets. Although there are

strict policies in place with regard to pets to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all residents, Kintyre does everything it can to work with residents towards the best possible outcome for all, as was the case with the Spratts and Lana. “There are quite a number of dogs who live here,” Jenni says, adding that the policy of welcoming pets can be a lifesaver for both humans and dogs. “I know of another resident who was desperate for a dog and when he saw how successful our transition it was for us to move here with Lana, he went out and got himself a red cattle dog from the pound!” Jenni says allowing people to continue to have their pets with them as part of their lives is part of the

caring approach and the supportive environment at Kintyre. “I certainly know how important the residents are to the management here, and how much effort and care they put in, especially for the older residents who need that extra bit of support because they don’t have family around. “It’s a wonderful environment if you’ve found yourself alone and miles from your family.” Jenni is still very active and busy and says she’s “out and about quite a bit”, but being residents at Kintyre Village gives her the confidence to be able to continue her activities without worrying about Ian. “It’s a great environment for Ian because if I’m not

IT’S IN THE BAG

Tonya’s the complete package By JOHN RYAN

Tonya Marton says she’s proud to work for a company which has such ethical values. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

TONYA Marton’s early life was spent in Lightning Ridge, moving to Dubbo when she was eight to finish her primary education at Dubbo Public before stints at South Dubbo High and Macquarie Anglican Grammar School (MAGS), with her final high school years at Senior Campus. The 27-year-old is currently working as a packing technologist at Real Pet Food but she went through school with some wildly divergent career possibilities in her mind. “I either wanted to be a scientist or a lawyer,” she told Dubbo Photo News, conceding those two careers generally require vastly different skill sets. “I studied a law-related subject but most of my subjects were science-based and in Years 11 and 12. That was when I thought science was where I wanted to be. “Science is pretty much in everything so having knowledge in (that field) pretty much opens up doors to endless opportunities.” After the HSC Tonya headed up to the University of New England (UNE) in Armidale. “I studied biomedical technology and realised it wasn’t the career path for me so I transferred over to nursing.” If you think that’s a career change, her next move was to set up business as an apiarist beekeeper, which she later sold

as a going concern, then applied to Real Pet Food for a start. “I started working at Real Pet Food as a casual and with my science background I got into research and development and progressed onto packaging and learned all the skills of packaging technology,” she said. “Any type of study is beneficial and you have to find what you like. I’m happy now, I love what I do.” She said she’s incredibly appreciative that Real Pet Food, on Dubbo’s northern outskirts, is in her hometown, so she can take advantage of the fulfilling career advancement opportunities on offer at a job she loves. “I cannot speak highly enough of Real Pet Food. I love living in Dubbo but there’s limited opportunities in the career I want to follow and this company has included me in a range of projects, global and local,” she said. “If you’re willing to work hard they will invest in you and they will upskill you where required. They’ve been kind enough to help me further my education. I can’t thank them enough, they’re an amazing company to work for. “It’s such a rapidly expanding business and the opportunities out here are endless. We have jobs at the mill, jobs in extrusion, packing, in the warehouse so you learn to dispatch, the opportunities are really endless and if you’re willing to put in the work, the company will support you with further

education.” Tonya says a major portion of her job satisfaction is derived from the way Real Pet Food not only provides so many jobs in the local community, but by how much the company gives back. Real Pet Food is giving away tonnes of product for Dubbo Photo News’ Pet Month including to local service organisations that distribute the pet food to some of the city’s most vulnerable. “I love working for a business that has morals. We call ourselves Real Pet for a reason so everything we do from formulating our products, we want to give real food to pets, pretty much everyone who works here has pets. “I love working for a company that wants to look after not only the community, but which also has pride in creating real pet food and one that is always looking at the best sustainability options. “Working as a packaging technologist I have a core focus sustainability and closing the loop to meet national targets.” If you’re a school-leaver in Dubbo, and you’re not sure where you want to go, Tonya recommends applying for a job at Real Pet. “There’s lot of opportunities whether you’re wanting a job before heading off to university or you’re looking for a career where you can progress within a business, come out here.”

Mechanical reliability sought By JOHN RYAN

PETS need real food and Real Pet Food needs plenty of highly trained technicians to ensure the processing plant keeps rolling at optimum efficiency, but in a market where there seem to be more jobs than applicants, finding the right people for the job can be challenging. Real Pet Food site operations manager Neville Howarth said the company is keen to find a Mechanical Reliability Specialist to help with its recent expansion and upgrades. “At the site here we’re invested about $10 million in the last 12 months and there’s been a fair degree of automation installed as part of that, so what we’re looking for is someone with engineering experience to support that automation as well as improving our existing processes and machinery,” Mr Howarth told Dubbo Photo News. “For this role there’s always something different that’ll be go-

ing on. Whether you’re going to be looking at energy consumption, productivity improvement, or software in the automation side of things, there’s always going to be something different in the mechanical sphere – so it’s an interesting job. “It’s very difficult to find people for specialist roles at the moment out in the regions,” he said. While the company is looking for an applicant with experience, management is also keen to talk to anyone who has the skills and is looking to get into the sector. “We’re open to different skillsets, anyone with a mechanical or an electrical background, anyone who has a maintenance background as well – if someone is fresh out of university with their degree, we’re more than happy to look at those kind of candidates,” Mr Howarth said, commenting that some locals who may be a good fit may not even know the company exists. “We’re just a business on the outskirts of town, we’re quiet achiev-

ers with what we do and there’s not a lot of people familiar with us or what we do, or our brand. It’s only a young business, we’re only three or four years old so people don’t know a lot about us.” The job itself would be well-suited to an experienced, disciplined and innovative mechanical engineer who has prior food manufacturing experience and exposure to industrial mechanical equipment. It’s a technical hands-on role, requiring knowledge of manufacturing best practise, maintenance planning and budget control. Responsibilities would include ensuring plant and equipment breakdowns are dealt with in a prompt, safe and efficient manner, maximising line efficiencies through the establishment of an effective, planned maintenance program, and assisting team members with problem solving. As well as industry experience, the ideal candidate would possess excellent communication skills, high-level interpersonal skills and sound judgement, experience in

implementing systems and process changes, and also have the ability to influence, manage and challenge ideas and existing business processes. “This is a true career opportunity in a growing global company,” Mr Howarth said. “We are looking for someone to be part of our ambitious growth

journey by providing the opportunity to support mechanical reliability functions at our Dubbo factory. When you join Real Pet Food Company you have an opportunity to make a significant contribution while developing your career.

Shift up a gear By JOHN RYAN AS a Human Resources manager at Real Pet Food, Scott Magill says it’s a tough time in the trade with plenty of ongoing commentary around the current challenges in attracting and retaining workers across regional NSW. More so, he says, when the Dubbo plant, along with the company as a whole, is undergoing rapid expansion during a global pandemic. Mr Magill says there are some great positions which have been newly created thanks to that incredible growth, such as the need to employ shift managers. “Here at Real Pet Food we’re undertaking a factory restructure which will create three new positions – an afternoon, a night and a day shift manager, and they’ll basically be in charge of the whole processing side, from the mill, the raws’ receival right through to the packaging as it leaves to go to the warehouse,” he told Dubbo Photo News. In just a few short years since it was established, this innovative company is going places and he says a major challenge will be letting locals know that there will be plenty of great career opportunities on their doorsteps, and as the company grows he says people will be able to grow their skills at the same time. “Our goal is to continue to build our professional workforce. The five-year goal is to be in the top five in the global pet food market,” Mr Magill said, pointing out how difficult it is for employers at the moment. “When we used to advertise for

positions, we used to get between 30 and 50 people applying, but since Covid-19 hit we’re getting far less people and those people are generally less qualified as well. “We’re open to any type of skill-base, we advertise for various specific positions on a regular basis, and we’re often creating new positions. We have an ‘expression of interest’ that’s out there at all times for people to look at, and we encourage people to put their resumes and CVs in and we can look at those and see if they fit somewhere in the company,” Mr Magill said. The shift manager positions will have responsibilities including: z Lead and manage a team while meeting specific production and quality targets and ensuring the successful running of the production processes; z Ensure appropriate training requirements for the shift are carried out and address any production anomalies by providing solutions and corrective actions; z Manage workforce planning, workload and performance of the team; including communication and ensuring a consistent approach in coaching team members to follow policies, procedures and uphold standards in their daily activities; z Maintain GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards across the team; z Ensure effective handovers are completed and accurate records are kept. The ideal candidate will have: z A background in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods, or food and beverage manufacturing preferred but not essential;

Real Pet Food’s Human Resources manager Scott Magill says there’s a major worker shortage in the regions. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

z Proven Supervisory or Management skills with demonstrated capability in leading people and allocating resource where required; z High attention to detail, able to manage projects involving continuous improvement initiatives; z A positive, solutions-focussed attitude individual; z Exceptional communication skills; z Strong computer skills including

intermediate to advanced excel; z Receptive and adaptable to a changing work environment; z Believes safety, product quality and food safety are paramount; z Able to understand and follow all safety and production Standard Operating procedures. Mr Magill says the workers at the plant are proud that Real Pet Food Company has built a reputation for the freshest products you

can find. “Disrupting the market, we are serving real, locally-sourced and made pet food – wet, dry, fresh, chilled and treats. No one knows pets quite the way we do,” he said. “We are a fast-growing and innovative company with strong ethics and a love for keeping it real. “Our success comes from having a great team of people,” Mr Magill said.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Wild West, allegedly, in DubVegas SIRENS ruled supreme in Dubbo when an alleged home invasion sparked a police pursuit through the streets of the city. Police say it all began about 10am on October 14 when a 17-year-old male allegedly entered a home in Zouch Street, Wellington, armed with a knife. The male allegedly threatened the occupant before demanding keys to a car, fleeing in a Toyota Camry with some stolen personal items. The victim, who wasn’t physically injured, called the police. In the meantime, police allege the 17-year-old drove the Camry to another address in Wellington, where a 52-year-old man entered the vehicle. About 11.30am, police were patrolling the Mitchell Highway and attempted to stop the vehicle at Wongarbon but the driver failed to stop so a pursuit was initiated. That pursuit was terminated a short time later in Macquarie Street due to safety concerns, and soon after the Camry crashed into another vehicle at the intersection of Bligh and Erskine streets. Luckily, the four occupants of the other vehicle were not injured. Police allege the two occupants fled from the Camry with the teenager allegedly assaulting a member of the public who attempted to intervene. That victim was taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for treatment of a facial laceration. Officers arrested the teenager and older man nearby and they were taken to Dubbo Police Station. The 17-year-old was charged with aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence – armed, cause grievous bodily harm to person with intent, police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously, take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, negligent driving, and never licensed person drive vehicle on road. He was refused bail to appear in children’s court. The 52-year-old man was charged with being carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner and breach of bail. He was refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court. We really don’t need these sort of people in or on our streets.

Man charged with murder HOMICIDE detectives have charged a 73-year-old man with the murder of Christine Neilan, a 39-year-old local whose body was discovered in bushland near Sunflash Street and Black Prince Drive at Lightning Ridge on January 9 last year. A post-mortem examination revealed she died from serious head injuries so detectives from the Homicide Squad and local police established Strike Force Bullarook to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. As part of ongoing investigations, homicide squad detectives executed a crime scene warrant and conducted an extensive search of a property and surrounding bushland at Lightning Ridge between October 14 and 17. Following further extensive inquiries, a 73-year-old man was arrested at a Lightning Ridge property on Monday, October 19. He was taken to Walgett Police Station and charged with murder.

Armed wanna-be hold-up at Dubbo servo AN 18-year-old man is set to face court after he allegedly threatened a shop attendant with a knife at a service station in Dubbo. Police say a 32-year-old service

station attendant was leaving his Windsor Parade workplace when he was approached by a man armed with a knife at about 10pm on October 12. The quick-thinking staff member threw a drink at the armed man before he fled on foot through a car park towards Wheelers Lane. Police established a crime scene, and following inquiries, officers stopped and spoke to a man riding a grey Trek mountain bike on Macquarie Street about 7.45pm on October 16. The 18-year-old was arrested and charged with armed with intent to commit indictable offence, possess prohibited drug and goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen. He was granted conditional bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on October 27.

High-range DUI in a trance OPERATION Trance was run across the North West Region from October 15 to 18. Among the 220 random breath tests, police were conducting proactive patrols when they stopped a Toyota Landcruiser on Coonabarabran Road at Spring Ridge on October 16. The 27-year-old male driver was subjected to a roadside breath test and allegedly returned a positive result.

He was subsequently arrested and underwent a secondary breath analysis, returning an alleged reading of 0.154. The man was issued a Court Attendance Notice for driving with high range PCA and was set to appear at court on October 20. North West Region traffic manager, Inspector Kelly Wixx, said police will continue to maintain a presence on back roads and within rural communities following a significant number of offences detected during the operation. “Driving whilst impaired by alcohol or drugs and speeding are still the main contributing factors of death or serious injury on our regional roads,” Insp Wixx said. “We urge you to make good decisions when driving, as the lives of you, your passengers and other road users are in your hands. “We will continue to saturate the roads so that we reach as many communities in regional areas as possible and continue to provide support to local police districts to prevent and deter crime.”

Man dies after falling from vehicle near Tilpa POLICE say a 25-year-old Cobar man was killed after falling from a moving vehicle on a station on Tilpa-Louth Road at Tilpa on October 16. The Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS) arrived about 8.45pm and were told a 25-year-old man had been travelling in the rear tray of a Toyota Land Cruiser when he fell from the vehicle, suffering head injuries. He died at the scene. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident are underway and a report will be prepared for the information of the coroner.

Just hang up THAT’S pretty simple advice, but so many people don’t abide by it when they receive a suspicious phone call. Almost 90 per cent of Australians have received at least one nuisance or unwanted call every week and a further 10 per cent receiving more than ten nuisance or unwanted calls each week, according to a recent consumer survey undertaken by Crime Stoppers (NSW). Apparently, scammers are finding new ways to trick people into taking their calls. For example, Caller ID spoofing is one such tactic which allows the scammer to disguise their identity. If the scammer is calling from outside Australia, they can actually display an Australian phone number, including a mobile number, which increases the likelihood of you answering their call. The impact on people’s productivity is enormous. It’s a nuisance and extremely disruptive. According to NSW Crime Stoppers CEO Peter Price, a new campaign s set to help the community minimise the risk of falling victim to phone scams. “A legitimate institution will not ask probing or personal questions on an unsolicited call,” Mr Price said. “The questions may seem harmless, but they build a picture of you, where your finances are, your financial situation and other personal details that allow them to impersonate you and extract money. “Hanging up may be the difference between being scammed or not.” z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Surrounded – by pets By JOHN RYAN MARK Woodley couldn’t be more proud of his son, and believes the animal kingdom agrees with his appraisal of the 14-year-old Noah. “Another year rolls around – 14 awesome years I’ve had this young man beside me,” Mark said. “They say you can judge a man by the way he treats animals – I’m pretty sure this tells Noah’s story,” he told Dubbo Photo News as he rolled though the many photos of Noah with his huge collection of furred and feathered friends. “I’m so proud of this boy.” Noah was keen to talk about his affinity with his menagerie, and how lucky he is to have the space at his dad’s Billy’o Bush Retreat tourist attraction near Wongarbon. “I’ve always loved animals,” Noah said. “I’ve had our border collie Tricky since I was six, she’s very smart and obedient, chases birds all day because we don’t

have sheep. “We have two cats as well – our three-legged cat Hero and her son Buzz. Dad makes up all sorts of stories about how she lost her leg for the tourists, but it was just dislocated and they couldn’t fix it,” Noah said, spilling the beans on his dad’s tall tales. According to the 14-year-old, the best thing about pets is their unconditional love for their humans, and the benefits that brings. “They always bring a smile to your face no matter what and are very loyal. “When kids visit Billy-o they love to pat Tricky, but she would prefer to chase birds and ride in the golf cart. “They try to pat Hero too, but she gets a bit feisty and they soon leave her alone. Buzz is a scaredy-cat so no one except us sees him – and that’s when he wants food.” Also in the mix is Tommy the magpie who can’t stay away from the good life at Billy’o. “We feed the cats and him all together,” Noah said.

Crime ﬁghting wears many hats

DUBBO MP Dugald Saunders said that ensuring appropriate police resources is only part of the solution for Wellington’s crime issue. “We also need to focus on prevention,” he said. “And diverting people – including minors – away from criminal activity.” Mr Saunders said expansion of the Drug Court and construction of a rehabilitation centre in the region are the types of projects that will help. “That’s why I fought so hard to secure more than $35 million for these proactive initiatives.”

Last ﬁlms of the year

THE next screening of Dubbo Film Society will be held at Dubbo Regional Theatre on Sunday, November 7, from 3.30pm. This will be the last event of the year for the group, with Nomadland and Another Round to be featured, with intermission and light refreshments served.

IT’S A RECORD!

A boy and his dog: Tricky is spoilt when it comes to love and attention.

Musical sensation Tony Bennett is now the oldest person to release an album of new material at the age of 95 years and 60 days. With the October 1 release of “Love for Sale”, Tony Bennett’s new album with Lady Gaga celebrating the music of Cole Porter, the 95-year-old singer has broken another Guinness World Records title. “Love for Sale”, released on Columbia Records/ Interscope, is said to be Bennett’s last studio album from a 70-plusyear career which has garnered him 19 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The new album’s release comes ten years after Tony and Lady Gaga ﬁrst recorded the single “Lady is a Tramp” in 2011, which was followed by their ﬁrst full album together, “Cheek to Cheek”, in 2014.

One Eye on the prize for Dubbo ﬁlm makers AFTER being starved of face-toface events for so long thanks to Covid-19 restrictions, lovers of stage and screen will be excited by the prospect of the return of real-life shows, and local film-lovers in particular are in for a real treat. The renowned One Eye Film Festival (OEFF), the brainchild of local not-for-profit Dubbo Filmmakers, will burst onto the screen again this November, offering “one big night of film” as a celebration of local filmmaking meeting the magic of cinema. Local audiences have been entertained by the OEFF since it burst onto the scene in 2013, offering over the years an assortment of laughs, tears, drama suspense and, of course, zombies. Dubbo Filmmakers’ president Kellie Jennar says the festival celebrates short film making, and aims to encourage locals to get creative and submit their entries for a potential spot in

the line-up for this year’s event. The group is now accepting short film entries from around the world to be included in the ninth OEFF, for which there is no set theme so creations are limited only by the filmmaker’s imagination. All genres are welcome, including narrative, documentary, music, experimental and video art. Almost anything goes, but be warned – overly graphic sex, violence or vulgar language will see your work hit the cutting room floor! For more information on how to submit an entry visit the website at dubbofilmmakers.com The OEFF will be held online and live on the “big screen” at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre on November 5 from 7.30pm, although the live screening may change due to public health orders. Tickets are on sale from the DRTCC box office, call 6801 4378 between 9.30am and 4.30pm, weekdays.

Renewed call for 24-hour police station in Wellington By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON residents have had enough of the town’s lawlessness and are once again calling for action from the State Government. Criminal acts including murder, drug dealing, home invasions and burglary have reached fever pitch for the close-knit community and Wellington Community Progress and Action Group has started a petition for a 24-police station in town. It’s not the first time that townspeople have pushed for aroundthe-clock policing, but a string of fatalities including a shooting murder, a hit and run car accident that killed two children, and the stabbing death of a young man have brought the town to its knees this year. In addition to these tragic incidents, action group representative Emmalee Holmes said there have been other ongoing crimes including break and enter, assaults, theft, abduction and rape, ramraids, offences, drug-related and DV issues, traffic offences, robbery, vandalism, illegal dumping, trespass and property damage. “(The local) crime rates are significant for a small rural community and crime is contributing to the decline of Wellington’s reputation, with many negative impacts on the whole community,” she said. Ms Holmes believes that crime is escalating and is preventing the town from moving forward. “Wellington is a strong and close-knit rural community that has been declining and adversely impacted by a rise in crime and a decrease in its reputation in recent years. “We strongly feel that Wellington’s reputation for crime is a deterrent against business in-

vestment and future growth and development, it affects property values and is a deterrent to people considering living in Wellington.” Ms Holmes believes the lack of a 24-hour police station is resulting in inadequate policing and increasing criminal activities. “We wish to fight for a safer community and feel that there is strong public demand and need for this in our town and community,” she said. “It is important for our residents and community to be safe, monitored and protected. “A 24-hour police station in Wellington would be a great community asset and will promote and

ensure safety and potentially decrease criminal behaviour.” The Wellington Community Progress and Action Group is currently seeking letters of support from the community for a 24-hour police station. “A letter can be personal and make reference to experience with local criminal activity or just a simple letter to support this – the more letters submitted from the community, the stronger the impact,” she said. Letters of support can be sent to the committee at wellingtonprogressactiongroup@gmail.com. There is also an online petition at change.org which will be

shared with Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders. It won’t be the first time Mr Saunders has presented such a petition in parliament; he performed the same task in 2019 and says he wholly supports proactive modern, policing. “My call has always been for as close as possible to 24-hour policing at Wellington – as in, police patrolling in cars, walking the streets and responding to reports from the community,” Mr Saunders said. “That’s modern policing. The old model of police sitting in a station waiting for people to walk in the door is simply outdated.”

www: wellingtonsoldiers.com.au

In 2021, Mr Saunders said police resources are “able to be flexibly deployed to where they’re needed”. Sadly, none of the new probationary constables who started at Dubbo Police Station last week will be based in Wellington. However, a spokesperson for Mr Saunders said that “allocation of staffing is ultimately determined by the police commissioner and additional resources at Dubbo means a greater ability to support the team at Wellington”. Mr Saunders said Orana Mid-Western Police District’s new Commander, Superintendent Danny Sullivan, has his eye on the crime-ridden streets of beautiful Wellington. “I’ll continue to support as close to 24-hour policing in Wellington as possible, and I know Superintendent Sullivan is committed to this as well.”

LOCKDOWN Is it stressing our

LOVE

Just as human emotions and wellbeing have been affected significantly by the global upheaval of Covid-19, so too have our faithful four-legged family members felt the virus’ clout, and it seems all that lockdown love might be at the heart of the anxiety our pandemic-affected puppies are feeling. Devoted doggo lover JEN COWLEY went along for a chat with Dubbo family vet Duncan McGinness about what’s causing our canines such concern. ••• Have you noticed an increase in the number of dogs presenting with anxiety since the pandemic changed all our day-to-day lives? Yes, it’s not spiralling out of control but there are definitely increased numbers. Why do you think that is? I think because we mostly haven’t ever spent this much time at home with our pets, we’re seeing their behaviours in an up-closeand-personal way. That’s making us aware of behaviours we perhaps didn’t see because we weren’t there, but that we now notice and worry about. That’s making us anxious about our dogs being anxious? Has my dog always been weird but I’m only just now noticing it? (Laughs) I’d be really suspicious that that’s the case, yes. Because of our close proximity to our pets for an extended period of time as never before, we’re seeing behaviours that might normally happen when we’re not there. The “happy home” illusion slips a bit maybe, and then we see their funny little habits we rarely get to see because their full attention is on us when we come home. What are some of those unusual behaviours we might notice in our dogs? Separation anxiety can lead to obsessive compulsive behaviour where they, for instance, run up and down the same path constantly for hours on end, or they’ll stand and stare at certain places, or a noise sets them off and they run around a certain way. Or they might suddenly start exhibiting new behaviours like being destructive, or aggressive, or timid. Like humans, dogs have different personalities and some breeds of dogs lend themselves to particular types of personalities. The herding dog, for instance, loves control. They’re very driven and they need to control it, so when it’s out of kilter and they can’t control it, they get anxious. Staffies (Staffordshire Terriers) is another breed that can lend itself to anxious behaviours – they are addicts for people. Their bond with humans is so deep that when the human isn’t there, the dog doesn’t cope well. Separation anxiety is exactly that. It precipitates

furry friends?

so many different types of behaviours, and anxious personalities can gravitate towards that. How do you diagnose and treat anxiety in a dog? Working through a new problem that’s occurred is easier than treating an ingrained problem. The symptoms of things sometimes look so obvious in the early stages, but the success of the therapy depends on your diagnosis. The blending of symptoms makes diagnosis more difficult over time. When you’re using medications, it’s important to get the diagnosis as close as possible. You’re not going to necessarily make problems irreversibly worse with the wrong medication, but with treatment of anxiety behaviours you’re using medications that shouldn’t be started and stopped at will. Putting a dog on medication for stress sounds like a bit like something out of Desperate Housewives, but we shouldn’t dismiss the seriousness of anxiety in our dogs, should we? No – their anxiety is real for them. In times gone by, it probably wasn’t entertained as a diagnosis because the medications available for treatment were so riddled with side-effects because they were such broad treatments for brain activity. Now the medications are so targeted and specific, you’re just treating that one particular area and chemical. Bottom line is that dogs have always suffered anxiety – it’s not a trendy new thing – but we just now recognise it more and the treatments are better.

People are also more willing to treat – in days gone by, they’d have just taken them to the shelter and surrendered them. What should people look for that might indicate anxiety in your dog? It’s usually about changed behaviour – doing something they’ve never done before. If they’re exhausted when you get home (lockdown time notwithstanding), ask yourself why? Have they been stressing all day and running, or repeating some excessive behaviour? People who really want to get into it or who are really worried can put up a camera to record and see what their dog is getting up to during the day. What are some of the best preventative measures people can take? Socialisation and ongoing education from an early age is important. Puppy pre-school is great – it’s great for interaction with other dogs in particular. Puppy preschool can also reveal if the dog is normal in its reactions, and if it needs a little bit more work. Then there’s another important thing: Never say “goodbye” to your pet when you leave. Ever. Never make a fuss of them when you go, and never say “hello” and make a fuss of them when you come home. You must walk into your yard and into your house and ignore the dog. The reason for this is that you do not want to telecast that it’s a big deal that you’ve been away. And you don’t want to telecast that it’s a big deal that you’re going. Oh dear, that’s interesting. So... asking for a friend... if you happen

to have a nine-year-old dog that gives you a guilt trip when you go, and then goes completely nuts when you come home... Is it too late to change that behaviour? (Laughs) It can be helped – it’s not going to change markedly, but it can be helped. Everyone does it – don’t think you’re the only one. We’re doing these things because we’re nice people to other people – we say goodbye, we say hello, because that’s the polite thing to do. In a dog’s world, it can be stressful – they’re thinking, “What’s wrong? I’m being made a fuss of and then they’re gone?” Saying hello and goodbye isn’t necessarily going to cause the anxiety but it can add to it. It’s just so hard when the dog is usually the most excited out of all the family to see you! It’s really difﬁcult not to respond to that kind of unconditional love. (Laughs) Of course! But you’ve got to turn off the “nice person” and I guess, be a bit what we would otherwise see as arrogant when it comes to your dog, because you don’t want to make a big deal out of coming and going and make their separation anxiety worse. The thing is to make everything normal. Picking up your car keys? Normal. Putting on your shoes? Normal. It’s harder to reverse when these things are already ingrained and they’ve been getting what they see as clear messages so far. Dogs are so observant. Do dogs pick up on our emotional cues? Absolutely. But they more want to

please and if they think they’re not pleasing you, they find that really stressful. They sense so many cues. For instance, the way we stand is an indication of our state of mind. What makes a good pet owner? A dog is a big commitment. Think about the time you have available for that pet. There’s an absolute minimum level of care that you must provide, and if you can go above that, it’s good. But there’s also this “killing them with kindness” thing, so if you can fall somewhere in between, that’s the balance. Good mental health in your pet starts with activity – being walked, exercised, having activity. Try to match the breed with your own expectations of activity. Some breeds need more than others. Just try to do some research about the dog that’s right for you and your lifestyle. It’s one thing to look after your dog’s mental health, but they can also look after our own mental health, can’t they? Absolutely true – the research shows it. There are statistics that show people who have dogs have fewer issues with blood pressure, and those who have dogs tend to recover more quickly from heart attacks and so on. The benefits of having a pet are well documented. They’re good for us, but it’s always about finding balance. And when it comes to mental health, both yours and your pets, if you’re worried, seek the help of a professional.

EDUCATION

You can’t teach this government, Teachers Federation says By JOHN RYAN

TEACHERS have been identified by many players in the education sector as the new endangered species and there are calls for the state government to take measures to protect teachers, and build up reserves into the future so the education system remains functioning and viable. Dubbo-based NSW Teachers Federation Country Organiser Tim Danaher told Dubbo Photo News teacher shortages in the state are so bad that vacant positions are taking months to fill. He says internal government documents show there’s a growing number of teachers required to teach outside their area of expertise. “Research based on the Department of Education’s own enrolment forecasts show between 11,000 and 13,700 additional teachers will be needed by 2031, an increase of between 20 and 25 per cent on 2020 levels,” Mr Danaher said. “In November 2020 the Department warned the government that by 2025 they would be 2000 teachers short of the number necessary to meet the needs of students. “The Department of Education’s reports said acute shortages meant over 100,000 secondary students were taught by teachers who were teaching outside their subject area.” This, he says, is from a departmental document in 2019: “Insufficient teacher supply is a critical risk to improved student outcomes,

both now and in the future”. “The reports also show the government commissioned, and then buried, research that shows students do better in the HSC when they are taught by teachers who are fully qualified in the subject area,” he said. “These documents show the government knows only too well the dire impact of teacher shortages and yet instead of fixing the problems, it has tried to cover them up. “The impact of teacher shortages is clear in government figures that show classes are being combined and students only given minimal supervision on hundreds of occasions in city and country schools due to a lack of teachers.” Dubbo Photo News sent a number of questions to Education Minister Sarah Mitchell and at the time of deadline, no answers had been forthcoming. Questions included what plan the coalition has to address teacher shortages and how things have become worse regarding teacher shortages in the decade the coalition has been in government. There was also a question about angst in communities like Dubbo where local Years 7-12 high schools were merged to form a multi-campus college, and if the coalition has plans to change that model back to stand-alone 7-12 schools to offer more choice for local parents. Mr Danaher said the Teachers Federation has been waiting to no avail for 10 years for a 10-year workforce plan from the state government, despite the department’s

own documents highlighting the need for a credible workforce plan that must include action on two of the biggest factors leading to teacher shortages: uncompetitive wages and unsustainable workloads. “These documents show the government has been fully aware of the worsening staffing crisis and has betrayed teachers, parents, principals and students by repeatedly denying the seriousness of the problems instead of addressing them,” he said. “We have to fix the shortages and once again make teaching an attractive choice for high achieving young people and we can’t do that with uncompetitive wages and unsustainable workloads.” While much of the frontline failures are happening in smaller and more isolated communities, he said Dubbo students and their families are also being adversely impacted by teacher shortages including: z Many vacant positions being advertised several times; z Classes being merged; z Teachers missing out on professional learning and preparation time; z Teachers being required to teach outside their area of expertise; z Children with disabilities missing out on the support they need; z Programs being cut back and fewer subjects being taught; z In many cases students are missing lessons or only receiving minimal supervision due to lack of available staff. “Unfortunately, this impact and flow on effect of staff shortages is

common across NSW schools and some Dubbo schools like many others are unable to regularly fill long term and short term (day to day) vacancies,” Mr Danaher said. “The current shortage is having an even bigger impact in our more remote communities with some schools being unable to fill teacher vacancies for almost two years and counting. “This shortage does nothing but further entrench disadvantage in schools in some of NSW most disadvantaged and complex communities.” The future, he says, looks even worse with the state’s school enrolments rising the lack of graduates is a major concern with a 29 per cent decrease in the number of students beginning a teacher education course between 2014 and 2019. He says the government’s own documents acknowledge this shortage is only expected to worsen, with claims the 2.5 per cent wage cap, along with excessive teacher workloads, is severely lim-

iting the attractiveness for people to join the profession. “This is an absolute crisis and there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind of how serious this is for our children and teachers and the future quality of education in NSW,” he said. “The government must acknowledge the dire situation and it is time for them to listen and work with the profession to address it.” Shadow education minister Prue Car said NSW Government was warned last year that the teacher shortage was a serious problem, with classes being collapsed and teaching roles going unfilled. “The Education Minister called the shortages a “beat-up” to try and hide her government’s failures. Now these secret documents reveal the truth: the teacher shortage issue is worse than reported,” she said. “The (coalition) government allowed this to happen – and now they’re trying to cover their tracks by flying in overseas teachers with no Australian experience.”

Taught to ask the wrong questions COMMENT By JOHN RYAN HI John, “The majority of your questions are not correct in their premise.” That’s the response I had from an adviser to education minister Sarah Mitchell when I dared to ask some questions that weren’t welcomed. It seems the State Government has been infected with the same need to deflect scrutiny which we’re seeing at a federal level. One of prime minister Scott Morrison’s most famous quotes is “I don’t accept the premise of your question." In other words, how dare you question me. To add insult to injury, the answers arrived about a week after my deadline. Let’s take just one of my questions: There have been teacher shortages in regional NSW for years and plenty of industrial action in the past 12 months at various country schools. What plan does the coalition have to address these shortages?

NSW Teachers Federation members at Buninyong Public School have called on the State Government to adopt recommendations made in the Gallop Report to improve working conditions to attract new people to the profession. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Here’s the response from education minister Sarah Mitchell: “Claims that we are heading for a teacher crisis are blatantly misleading and self-serving,” she said. “Our approach to teacher supply is backed by research, seeking to find opportunities to challenges that simply won’t be fixed by broad brush approaches. We know this because teachers have told us. “Ensuring we have the best teachers in the right place is not

fixed by a fear campaign backed by bad data. To find solutions, we have asked the question what is best for students, and in this case, I worry the union is not asking the same one.” I’m not sure which teachers the minister has been talking to, but it’s obviously none of the many I’ve interviewed, who all agree the profession, and the education of the state’s children, is past a crisis point.

While waiting for the responses to my three simple questions, teachers at Dubbo’s Buninyong Public School took industrial action. Western Region Teachers Federation organiser Tim Danaher said the Federation members at Buninyong Public School are also deeply concerned about the looming implementation of the Student Behaviour Strategy which will severely limit the executive's capac-

ity to manage challenging and unsafe behaviour directly impacting on the wellbeing, workload of staff and achievement of student outcomes. He said the industrial action at three western schools was triggered by what he described as an “inflammatory email” sent to all NSW teachers by the Secretary of the Department of Education. “This email triggered our teachers, resulting in anger and disgust at the government's lack of attention to the issues facing teachers and affecting staff supply,” Mr Danaher told Dubbo Photo News. “The message from the department made it very clear that they are refusing to acknowledge the ever-increasing workload facing teachers, nor are they acknowledging that there is a staffing crisis across NSW. “It’s also very clear that the department will not be addressing the significant issues that have resulted in the shortage – which are uncompetitive wages, unsustainable workload, and a lack of time to do what is needed for our students – amongst other things.”

INDIGENOUS ART

Artist’s spiritual journey home By JEN COWLEY SITTING on the banks of the mighty Macquarie River on which she grew up, with a backing track of native birds and the clear warm sunshine of a Western Plains spring afternoon painting the landscape in bright hues, Lizzy Stageman has never looked more at home. Which is intriguing, given the gentle, friendly Dubbo-born-andraised Aboriginal contemporary artist has recently swapped the bush for the beach with a move to Newcastle. Still, Lizzy leaves little doubt as to where a large chunk of her heart lies. During an interview last week with a renowned media outlet in her adopted city, the correspondent asked her: “You’re from Dubbo, aren’t you? “I told them that yes, Dubbo’s my home, and they said, “No, you live here now so we’re claiming you!”’ The deceptively feisty Lizzy, whose roots run way down deep into the earth of the Wiradjuri nation, quickly put the journo straight: “I think you might have a fight on your hands with Dubbo, and you won’t win that one!” ••• LIZZY is “home” in Dubbo only briefly, here for the launch of a uniform range for the NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation’s Virtual Care Team, to which she’s applied her unique artwork, and it’s given her a much-needed chance to take a breath after what’s been, by anyone’s measure, a whirlwind few months. Although the segment only aired a week or so ago, Lizzy’s life was turned upside down earlier this year and has gathered a frenetic pace since her artworks were featured on wildly popular home-renovation reality television show, The Block. While Lizzy’s creative streak showed itself early in her life, it’s only in recent years that its expression has become a tangible practice, and success, while not exactly “overnight”, has come remarkably quickly for the humble mother of three. She admits to finding it all “a little overwhelming”. “It did mess with my head,” she says of the extraordinary exposure that came with having her art featured on The Block, and the subsequent avalanche of interest in her works, which a layperson might call traditionally Indigenous in theme with a uniquely striking twist. “My kids brought me back to the ground by reminding me that I’m just one person – I can’t give myself to everyone that wants a piece of me at the moment. They made me realise I just need to take it day by day.” She recounts being warned by The Block’s production people that her life was about to change. When it came, the tsunami of attention and demand for her time and her artworks startled her, but anyone who has been fortunate enough to follow her expedition into the often-fickle world of professional art will be not surprised in the least that the world is discovering now what we proud lo-

LIZZY FROM THE BLOCK

cals have known for a while: Lizzy Stageman is an extraordinarily gifted artist and story teller. When she found her real creative passion – telling deeply personal stories through the prism of her own heritage and its unique style of painting – it had a power to move people that most artists can achieve only in their dreams. It’s a gift, she says, and one she believes is a blessing. The volume of messages she’s been receiving since the hype of The Block come from a new cohort of admirers that seems drawn to the gentle spirituality of her visual storytelling. “People share really personal stories with me, and I think that’s why people like my art – because it comes from that really special place within. “That’s not something you can rush,” she says, explaining her determination to resist the temptation of trying to meet the increasing demand for her work at the

expense of its creative integrity. “The stories come to me – I have millions of them in my crazy little head!” For Lizzy, the story comes first and the painting is an expression of that spiritual connection with the story, which springs not only from her Aboriginal heritage, but from her humanity, from being a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend. And from pain. ••• FOR many artists – across every genre imaginable – a creative sweet spot’s light comes often from personal darkness, and such is Lizzy’s own experience. She returned to the all-but-forgotten creative passion of her youth following a couple of particularly nasty bouts of ill health – first a stroke, and then a breast cancer diagnosis. Art threw her a lifeline and she grabbed it with both hands. “The validation I get from people connecting with my works is

such a reward for not only being able to tell my story, but for reflecting the stories and shared experiences of others. “I look at my painting, Battle Scars – I actually indented the scars into the artwork so you had to look closely to see them. That’s like a lot of people’s experience. “We go through life putting on that brave face – the one we all wear – to cover up our scars. That’s why that painting resonated with so many people because it’s true of so many people.” Another of Lizzy’s paintings to have a similar resonance for almost all who view it is one called Coming Home – a stunning depiction of Lizzy’s own reconnection with a sense of place, that place being Dubbo with the Macquarie River winding its way through the town, the different roads leading family back to country, the experiences that bind family and friends to place and the comfort of a homecoming.

` People share really personal stories with me, and I think that’s why people like my art – because it comes from that really special place within... a

Prints from the work have been offered for sale through The Block Shop, and have already found their way to many points around the globe, soon to adorn the walls of homesick expats longing for that spiritual and physical homecoming. “It’s gone to New Zealand, Sweden, the UK, and I sent one to the Netherlands the other day – so I’ve gone global,” she says and her eyes widen with the wonder of success that still seems to come as a shock. “There are Aussies all over the world who have seen it and they’ve reached out and said they miss home so much they need that painting to remind them of home.” At this point, I have a confession to make. I am dizzyingly fortunate to have the original Coming Home hanging on my own wall, and I can vouch for the visceral power of a Lizzy Stageman visual story. I’ve brought the painting with me for our photo shoot, and Lizzy’s eyes glisten when she sees it. “Hello, Coming Home,” she says softly, stroking the edge of the canvas as gently and lovingly as she would a small child. It’s hard to keep the lump from my throat as I’m reminded of the tears we both shed when she told me the story of the painting that spoke so profoundly to me, as it did to those far-flung expats. Tears, though, are the yard-stick by which Lizzy measures not so much her work, but the people for whom it’s intended. “If they don’t feel an emotion, I don’t feel they’re worthy of the artwork. My artwork chooses you. It finds the person it wants for its forever home. “I feel so blessed to have this gift,” she says, speaking of what she feels is the presence of her much-loved but now deceased father guiding her. “I feel the old fellas are up there looking after me, directing me to find the spirituality I need for my work.” Holding onto that essence of spirituality to guide her work is becoming exponentially more challenging as her star rises through the art world’s cosmos. “I have to resist the expectation to start churning work out. People who aren’t creative find it hard to understand, but I can’t just whack out a painting for someone who only wants a Lizzy Stageman work because they think it’s the thing to have. “I need to have a connection, to tell a story. These are not artworks you get because they match your lounge. That’s not what it’s about. “When I create an artwork, it’s a part of me and a part of me goes with it. “It’s the story and the spirituality that comes first – Lizzy Stageman is just the vehicle.”

OUTBACK ARTIST

Blooming in colour EMMA Menzies is one of a growing number of country women who’ve rekindled their love of painting after the kids have left home. She says the creative outlet has been important for her in many ways, and she thanks the strong female role models she’s met over the course of her life who have shaped the way she paints. ••• Tell us about your life growing up. I grew up on a sheep and cattle station out the back o’ Bourke. Our property was three hours from town on a dirt road in those days. The road actually ended at our house so there was no traffic passing by. It was a very isolated way of life but one I wouldn’t swap for the world. We saw the mailman in his mail truck once a week. He used to bring my brother Scottie and me one packet of lollies each and I would ration mine for the next seven days (I can’t say the same thing about my brother!) I did School of the Air (via Broken Hill) and due to the isolation and not having a lot of children around me my own age, I went to boarding school in Sydney in 6th class. My mum wanted to get me used to class routines, school hours and school bells before I hit high school as I didn’t have much practice in this area. My brother used to sway me to take off on the motor bike with him and have an extended recess some days! He was older and went to boarding school before I did. How did you end up living in Dubbo? Some of my family already lived in Dubbo so after I spent several years working in Sydney, I moved back to be closer. I also had a lot of friends who lived here so it seemed like a great place to relocate to at the time. What sort of jobs have you had? I have nannied and worked in business/administration roles in the hotel, cattle and educational industries. Have you always been interested in painting? Did you feel a talent and a calling when you were younger?

Em Menzies says she loves nothing more than sending a fun, colourful, gorgeous girl to a gorgeous home! “I am conﬁdent my girls bring some hope to people and, by the way, they are very good at keeping secrets!” PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ EMY LOU

I have always been creative. When living in Sydney upon leaving school, I designed and hand painted children’s T-shirts and sold them at markets. I was always making something. I majored in art for my HSC. When I moved back to Dubbo I enrolled in a ceramics course at TAFE at night with another keen potter friend. I attended the Dubbo Arts and Craft Society painting classes when my children were tiny and there were some very talented older artists in the group at the time with years and years of experience, who taught me so much. How lucky I was. I have attended numerous art courses and retreats local-

ly and beyond, over the past 20 years. My first talent and calling may have been when I used to walk barefoot and play alone for hours on our property out west, after some much needed rain had fallen on the extensive claypans, drawing huge pictures in the soft mud-like surface with long sticks! When did you start painting to sell your artworks? I started to paint to sell my artworks in 2016. How did you kick off your sales? My sales initially started from me being encouraged by my children to start an Instagram page and post a photo of a painting. Reluctantly, but eventually I did and

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

a very kind, supportive friend purchased my first painting and from there it just went boom! A lovely local set up my website, Em Menzies Art. I was also very lucky to be a part of an incredible opportunity to attend the Buy from the Bush Day at Martin Place in Sydney. It was just amazing to see the number of people who made the effort to come along and support us all. I am very modest when it comes to my sales however this day was absolutely extraordinary. What sort of reaction have you been getting? I have received nothing but positive, supportive feedback about the gorgeous bright colours in my artworks and how they look even

better in real life! I use superior quality paints that exude intensity, although it is sometimes difficult to capture this intensity through my photographs which I take myself. My clients also love the way my paintings are framed in a floating oak frame, done by my local framer who is an absolute legend. I have a client who is a mum of five boys plus her husband, who welcomed an original “girl” into her house which she said keeps her sane! The Minister for Mental Health, Regional Youth and Women put one of my girls on her work Christmas cards one year which were sent out to more than 600 clients! I couldn’t believe it! I have donated prints and artworks to charities local and beyond and have received such positive feedback. I have also commissioned multiple works with special requests, one recently being for a client who received a pink diamond necklace for her 60th birthday and her friends commissioned me to paint a girl with the same necklace. What's the philosophy behind your painting? The art is very colourful, fun and hopeful. Growing up in the outback, I was surrounded by inspirational women who did the work of men, had limited social outings and reared children amidst the hardships of drought, isolation and the lack of female company. These women have always inspired me; beneath the dust and toil was always a feminine girl, who escaped from the dusty sheep yards (and I mean dusty, even when there wasn’t a drought), applied the lipstick and transformed themselves into a beautiful girl for a social outing! I paint mainly impressionistic style portraits of girls and florals with loads of stunningly beautiful colours. Upon completion, each girl is given her unique name along with three words to describe her personality. This all comes to me as I am creating, up to my arms in paint, excitedly awaiting the final brushstroke.

Freedom needed for small business’ sake Chris Minns ❚ COMMENT

Chris Minns is the NSW Opposition Leader and says the state government needs to make the rules as lockdowns ends, rather than foisting that responsibility onto individual businesses that are already struggling to stay afloat and an already overburdened police force. IF we are going to learn to live with COVID, businesses need to know how to work with COVID. And the truth of the matter is the arrangements that have been announced by the Government are not clear enough for the tens of thousands of businesses that want to open up. They want to do it safely, they want to protect their employees and they want to make sure that their customers are safe and in a place where they can go and patronize restaurants, bars, and other places in metropolitan Sydney and the regions in NSW. But it does require certainty from the NSW Government. What are the procedures in

place to ensure that if unvaccinated people attempt to enter a premises, the owner of that premises knows what his or her obligations and responsibilities are? What is the imposition on police? How will they interact with people who they approach about their vaccination status? Will they be able to ask for their vaccination status? How will it work in practice for the tens of thousands of businesses and the millions of people that want to leave their homes, go out into their communities and patronize local restaurants, pubs clubs and shops. These are not tangential questions. I don’t believe the Opposition is nit-picking when we raise them as issues. We want ‘freedom day’ to work, but it does require clarity when it comes to these important positions from the NSW Government, because I don’t think it’s fair to our small and medium businesses to make it up as they go along. They’re going to need guidance

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

and support from the NSW Government in particular, the NSW Health Minister. The second issue I’d like to raise is the potential from the federal and state government to wrap up business support payments for tens of thousands of businesses, right throughout metropolitan Sydney and the regions in NSW. This is a huge issue for those businesses that have done the right thing over the last 15 weeks, closed their premises, shut down their shops in order to keep us all

safe. And I don’t think it’s as simple as them opening up the front door and turning on the light and accepting customers into their shops. We are looking at 173,000 people that have lost their job in the last month alone. And 250,000 people have departed the workforce altogether during the COVID pandemic period. So this is an economic crisis in the heart of Western Sydney. It will require government support

in order for these businesses to reemerge after the pandemic’s over. And I’ll reiterate this point, I don’t think any business should close because they’ve done the right thing and listened to their own government’s health advice. This requires common sense from the NSW Government, they should insist that the Commonwealth and the state continue to fund businesses so they can survive the COVID pandemic. There are too many jobs on the line to get this wrong.

There’s much to learn from early stories ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection MOST people can still reflect on some of their childhood reading and then later consider the impact of legends that record humans living though the ages. In the “Illustrated Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece” there are 250 entries on the world of those people. Editor Sean Sheehan Provides their myths and stories, their gods and goddesses, their ideas, their homes and temples, the wars and weapons, sports and games. We can discover the many ways those people still influence our world today. Photos of art work, pottery, carvings, excavation of sites, buildings, weapons plus much more, show how an ancient population developed facilities that we still use today or that formed the basis for modern life. “Tales from the Arabian Nights” is one of the oldest continuously circulated collections of short stories – it consists of well-known

Arabic folktales written in the Golden Age and includes “Aladdin’s Lamp”, “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, “ The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor” and more. Even the story of the woman who originally compiled these tales of wild adventure is also interesting. As humans have lived over time they have changed their habits to suit their needs. One recently published book is “Who Ate the First Oyster” written by Cody Cassidy, and in his studies he looks at the extraordinary people behind the great firsts in history. Who told the first joke? Who brewed the first beer? Who was the first surgeon? And so many other factors that today we live with – given that he thinks that we started eating oysters 164,000 years ago and the first case of smallpox was in 2000 BC. In a very presentable slip case we have received “The Odyssey” by Homer. Among all the works of Ancient Greek literature, the most famous are the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey” – two long poems ascribed to Homer. They are considered the earli-

est European literary works and without a doubt among the greatest of world literature. These works were the only texts that recorded the events relating to the Trojan War. It is thought Homer lived in Ionia around the 9th or 8th century BC. As Private Secretary to the Emperor Hadrian, the Scholar Suetonius had access to the archives and used them along with his personal experience to produce what is considered to be one of the most effective biographical works in history. “The Twelve Caesars” text covers the public careers and private lives of the men who had absolute power over Rome, from the foundation of the empire, under Julius Caesar and Augustus, to the decline and ending under Nero, and the recovery that came with his successors. Suetonius was born in 70 AD and died (likely) in about 130 AD. Well recognised author Julia Baird has written “Victoria the Queen”, with Victoria being a rare innovator in excising the word “obey” from her marriage vows. Born in 1819, the confident lady went on to develop the

British Empire which then embraced one quarter of the world’s population. She survived eight assassination attempts, gave birth to nine children, and died in January 1901. One of America’s most respected Presidents is Abraham Lincoln. A biography by Hirsch and Haften entitled “Abraham Lincoln and the Structure of Reason” examines the life of Lincoln – in particular, relating to geometry and study of literature and law. His ability to reason challenges (the Civil War) and communicate (The Gettysburg Address) set him at a peak in leadership. People of Illinois and that region still hold respect for him in an unusual way. Forty years ago I was in the foyer of a Springfield motel and on the wall was a frame of the “Lincoln Walk” which showed the steps from his home, to his chambers, the Law Court, the Church, etc., and a local fellow came and asked if I was interested. He told me an example of Lincoln’s character: some locals living to the north had come in and asked Lincoln to make up the legal forms to have their little town established. Later, after reading

through the papers, they said to him, “We are so impressed with your documents we want to name the town Lincoln.” To this Lincoln replied, “I wouldn’t do that – anything with a name like that will never amount to anything.” A very well presented title researched over 20 years is “Convicts, Capitalists and Corruption” from the author Kate Gadsby. It focuses on Nubrygyn and the settlement west of the Great Divide, with fine details of the early crossings of the Blue Mountains and the eventual settlement of that property. It covers the area north from Molong to Wellington with maps and photographs of early families. Anglican Church Missionaries were active, particularly visiting with Aboriginal peoples. The development of the region and the farming activities are recorded with so many of the families involved identified. Historian Margaret MacMillan sums up how important it is for us to keep history in mind, particularly in today’s world: “We can learn from history, but we can also deceive ourselves when we selectively take evidence from the past to justify what we have already made up our minds to do.” Enjoy your browsing, Dave Pankhurst

O'Dea 50th anniversary SUE and Tod O’Dea were married 50 years ago on October 2, 1971, at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Dubbo. Tod grew up in Yeoval while Sue (nee Yeo) grew up on a farm at Gollan. Sue was training to be a nurse and Tod worked at the local brickworks when they met at a party. Tod had been a bit of a "ladies man" until he met Sue (or so he tells his children). He quickly realised Sue was the woman for him and his wooing began. Much of their courtship took place at the Castlereagh Hotel, which sponsored CYMS Rugby League Club, and Tod was a loyal CYMS man – he never played but managed the team and has been club president in the past. Their son Matthew was born in 1974 followed by daughter Elissa in 1977. When their children were young the couple bought the convenience store on the corner of Palmer and High Streets. Sue

would still work as a nurse and then come home and serve behind the counter. Three years without a weekend off or a holiday is a lot to cope with. Sue often says that running a business together, having two small children, working as a nurse and having a husband who loved his local football was a real test for their marriage – they knew if they could survive that they could survive anything. And they have. After three years without a weekend off they decided to sell the business to build one of the first houses in Dulhunty Estate. Tod became the manager of Brennan’s Mitre 10 in 1984 and managed the store for 28 years before finally retiring in 2012. A good example of the kind of people Sue and Tod are is the way they would invite the regular hardware reps from Sydney to stay with them rather than be all alone in a hotel room. Sue made them feel like kings with her cooking and Tod would share

his love of an after dinner port or two. Sue worked at the Dubbo Private Hospital when it was in Fitzroy St, then moved to Dubbo Base Hospital where she spent more than 20 years in operating theatres, finishing her nursing career in ambulatory care before retiring in 2016. Over the years, Sue and Tod have been on many trips together – both overseas and within Australia. They would often travel with Tod’s brothers and sister and their wives/husband. Sue and Tod have taught their children that family is everything. Many Friday nights were spent with the whole extended family watching the footy and ordering fish and chips. Lots of card nights while the cousins played footy or hide and seek have also been a big part of Sue and Tod’s life. Their children believe their parents really complement one another. Tod doesn’t talk much and Sue could, as Tod says, "talk

with a mouth full of marbles underwater". Tod can only cook one thing and Sue is a brilliant cook. Tod loves CYMS and the St George Dragons and Sue hoots and hollers when watching the match even though she probably doesn’t really care much for Rugby League. Sue and Tod have been spending retired life doing volunteer work – Tod with Bracken House and Sue with Lavender Ladies and more recently the Pink Angels. They also spend a lot of time adoring and supporting their four grandchildren – Madilyn, Emily, Billy and Bella. A huge party was planned for Sue and Tod’s 50th Anniversary.

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.

Emma Hughes: I had the best seat in the house By GEOFF MANN

EMMA Hughes cricket journey has been on an upward trajectory almost from the first time she bowled in the backyard with her dad Alan and her brother and his mates. Last week, playing with a star-studded Sydney Sixers team in the season-opening WBBL match at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, the young all-rounder was in the bunker when Australia’s record-breaking keeper-opening batter Ellyssa Healey went ballistic! “We clapped and shouted every boundary and a few that went over the top as Heals raced to 57 from just 27 balls. It got a bit tense at the finish and all of us were screaming as every single and two were added to the score.” Emma was thrilled to be included in the starting line-up for her second full season with the Sixers. “When I was named in the run-on team it was the best feeling I think I have ever had. My teammates were all as excited as me, I think. They all took time to offer their congratulations and every one of them sat down and shared their memories of first games,” Emma told me. The Macquarie junior carried plenty of support from her clubmates here in town. “I get text messages and notes on Facebook. They real-

Dunedoo Swans farewell a great servant By GEOFF MANN JOHN Sullivan played rugby league for Dunedoo and served as club president and on committees throughout the years. In recent years, despite battling ill-health John maintained an active interest in the Swans. He was sideline in 1967 when brother Chris played in the Dunedoo team’s first Group 14 grand final and worked behind the scenes when

they were crowned Castlereagh League champions in 2014. Perhaps the crowning glory for John came last year when the Swanettes and Swans won premierships on a famous day at Gilgandra. It was the first time a club had taken the League Tag and Cup double and celebrations are still being held! John also jumped at the opportunity to form a Men of League Foundation Western branch and has been a

generous benefactor during the group’s first 10 years. Even in poor health the gentle man with a warm smile and generous heart still coordinated the Dunedoo Bowls days that attracted league superstars including Johnny King and Eddie Lumsden. John is survived by wife Colleen, her two sons and their own three adult children. Vale John, you have been a good and faithful man.

Sundy Social by Pistol Pete: some 68 days later! IT was fitting that the morning still had a winter chill, reminding Dubbo RSL Combination bowlers that their last gathering was in the midst of our coldest months. Pistol Pete summed it up thus: “A chill enveloped the surroundings as the sun clutched at the sky to rise and spray warming rays onto the lands, onto the greens that would soon be covered in bowlers”. Pete and his fellow bowlers might be a bit biased: “This Club may be the smallest in town but it is HUGE in enjoying the Sundy morning bowls. For nine Sundy’s we’ve had to suffer, languishing at the prospect of no bowls to go play after the usual brekky!” The Combo Bowls crew are

praying that Sunday’s venture will be the first of many as the calendar flies towards Christmas. They welcomed each other with open arms. “After all, we had plenty to chat about!” Friendship and enthusiasm combine with “a sense of rivalry” to make Sundy Bowls an institution for many according to Pistol. “That rivalry crafts some very competitive bowling achieved in the name of the pleasure of being with comrades and friends. 30 participated in “The Return” after 68 days of... well no-bowls! “So good, so good it was for all, however some needed a few ends to get the bowl doing what was expected! There may have been a stray for a short while but most

agreed it was like the old “falling off the horse” and everyone was back into the groove by the last end,” Peter smiled.

Dubbo Ducks trade joggers for ﬁns! By GEOFF MANN THE Dubbo Veterans’ Swimming Club, aka the Dubbo Ducks, plunged back into the pool on Sunday. “It was so good to have water on our feathers after several weeks of waddling around the riverbank,” Publicity Officer Judy Walsh quacked. A couple of the more seasoned – “or just braver” – Ducks had been training at the Olympic Pool and joined others at the home pond. “The twenty Ducks took to the water like they do and the competition was as fierce as ever. The result sheet reflected ten ‘breakers’ in the respective finals as everyone tried to reset their clocks in synch with the

handicappers at ‘the big table’,” Judy laughed. Marg Ross pointed out that it wasn’t really a problem “It means you could come first even if you finished last!” Judy thinks The Handicapper, Wherro, will wipe some smiles off faces next week. “Wherro was overheard saying that a few times would be adjusted prior to our next swim!” Billy Greenwood was as consistent as ever, showing the time on dry land had not impacted his sense of time. Billy won the Morrison Family Eye Care September Trophy after stopping the clock a mere 0.01 of a second off his time.

Matt shooting hoops with tall timbers By GEOFF MANN A SPORTS journalist who honed his skills on the sidelines of Group XI grounds during his time with Dubbo Photo News has taken a massive sidestep from rugby league to basketball. Matt has been appointed News Corp’s NCA full-time national basketball reporter. “I’ll be covering all things hoops across the NBA, NBL, WNBL/ WNBA, grassroots and the global game,” the former St John’s student who played junior league and basketball with the school before pursuing his passion for all things basketball. “The move means rugby league will take a backseat after 16 sea-

sons, but it’s certainly not the end of my NRL coverage. I’ve still got a few league projects in the pipeline,” Matt teased. Matt spent time broadcasting with 2MCR during his time at CSU Bathurst and wrote for the Western Advocate. He was then scooped up by the (sadly) now defunct Rugby League Week. He spent nearly 10 years with the code’s ‘bible’ and when it was closed down, he moved across to the Daily Telegraph. “I also took the opportunity to gain some wider skills while I was writing and managed to get courtside at many NBL and WNBL matches as well as being a guest panellist on ABC and Fox Sports.

able as I now have a broad suite of mult-media skills. Those are increasingly necessary in the rapidly changing landscape of sport and general journalism.” Matt spent a season working under the Newcastle Knights at the same time Wayne Bennett moved to the city of beaches and saw a different perspective. “I was basically a media and marketing person, selling the club’s positive stories. It was a bit different to chasing some of the less salubrious bits that editors love. I found it challenging because the environment was totally different but I think it was another notch in my belt for when I returned to the northern beaches to cover the league at News Corps

Wire Service.” While he is stepping from the outdoor sideline to a more comfortable indoor stadium setting, Matt will still have his eye on the 13-a-side code. “I've had the privilege of meeting all of the NRL’s top players and officials and consider the times I have interviewed the Dubbo connection have been the most memorable of all. To think that Isaah Yeo and Matt Burton, two blokes from my old school carried the Provan Summons trophy around Suncorp recently 17 years, almost to the day after another exSt John’s player Andrew Ryan had done the same thing – with the Bulldogs – made me very, very proud,” Matt offered with a real

sense of pride in his voice. Although he will not be sideline on a regular basis at the NRL in the near future he will maintain an active interest. “As I said, I have a couple of projects on the go with league but in the meantime, I’m pumped about giving all my energy to basketball. “I’m looking forward to taking my hoops coverage to a new level, with some exciting multimedia content and other projects planned,” he added. One of those Matt spoke with me about is a book he will be co-authoring with Australian Basketball legends Andrew Gaze and his father Lindsay. “The working title is ‘The DNA of the Boomers’.

Spirit of the Red V reﬂected in King’s Amco Cup victory

SPORT

On April 23, 1921, the St George rugby league club made their premiership debut. They were, said the papers of the day, the ‘pride of the Illawarra district’. Over the next 100 years, the mighty Dragons built a record of excellence unmatched in league history. The Red V jersey is one of Australian sport’s most iconic symbols of excellence. It is known across the world. No team has more passionate fans. Five League Immortals – Frank Burge, Norm Provan, Reg Gasnier, Johnny Raper and Graeme Langlands – played for the club. St George were perennial finalists from the 1920s to the ’80s. They won 11 straight grand finals from 1956 to 1966 By GEOFF MANN AUTHOR Geoff Armstrong has just released volume one of the definitive history of the mighty St George rugby league Dragons. The title of the book, “The Spirit of the Red V”, cites a phrase coined during the club’s unequalled 11 consecutive premierships, from 1956 to 1966. Geoff explained the title saying that when he was pulling it together there were lots of suggestions being thrown around the room. He couldn’t recall who actually came up with it but he said from the moment it was put forward “that was the title of the book”. When St George kicked off in the NSWRL competition in 1921, they were wearing guernseys with red and white hoops, but when the Second World War broke out all clubs had to cut back to a single colour with a V. Club officials were adamant they would return to the hoops after the war but the players admired their new kits, and everyone felt the players looked taller and bigger with the new V design. That was the spirit that became the benchmark of the club built around the southern suburb of Kogarah, and they adopted the Red V permanently. Geoff says the “Spirit” was what former Gilgandra, St George and Australian winger Johnny King says underpinned Western Division’s unforgettable victory against all odds and against the best rugby league teams in the world in 1974. “John told me he had three simple goals when he was asked to coach the Western team in the inaugural four-quarters mid week competition,” Geoff explained. “He took the lessons that he had learned from great coaches like Ken Kearney, Norm Provan and Ian Walsh and tried to bring the same thing to his Western Divi-

sion team. It was no more simple than he wanted a single line of defence, he wanted the forwards to be tough and powerful, and he insisted on discipline.” It worked and the Western boys from Cobar to Coonabarabran, Wallerawang to Baradine, Canowindra to Dunedoo, Bathurst, Orange and Dubbo upset Canterbury, Auckland, Manly and Penrith – 6-2 in the final – to claim a place in rugby league immortality. In a career that has spanned nearly four decades and has produced a multitude of sporting tomes, Geoff Armstrong says “The Night the Music Died” has been the greatest joy of his publishing career. “The reason that book touched me so much was I got to know blokes like Paul Dowling, Greg Fearnley, Bob Pilon, Terry Fahey and Nelson Smith. Just magnificent men and it was just such a privilege for me and Ian Heads to meet them and to work with them and produce a book that everyone says they really enjoyed.” Geoff Armstrong has now spent thousands of hours researching, interviewing former players, officials and their families, and recounting unbelieva-

ble stories of the deeds of blokes who, from the earliest days, were men who worked and played rugby league for fun and a little bit of money. “These were men who had ordinary jobs during the week and would train at night. The money wasn’t flash, but attractive enough, and the allure of running out in front of huge crowds on packed suburban grounds and the occasional Match of the Day visit to the SCG drew young players from all over NSW and Queensland.” There are 568 pages in volume one of “The Spirit of the Red V”, set out in chapters that can be read independently or over a “Dragon’s binge” weekend. It makes the perfect gift for sports lovers as it tells the tale of a club full of ordinary blokes who have created an extraordinary legacy.

The Red V and the west IN 1955, just two weeks after losing to Souths in the 1955 grand final, almost the entire St George team travelled to play a Dubbo selection.

Next week we will bring you that story, but this week I’d like to draw your attention to the magnificent heritage of which players from west of the Great Divide have been a most integral part.

Players IAN Walsh (Bogan Gate/Eugowra), Barry Beath (Gooloogong), Peter Fitzgerald (Canowindra), Johnny King (Gilgandra), Tony Trudgett (Oberon), Dennis O’Callaghan (Nyngan), John Chapman (Blayney), Ross Cale and Justin Smith (Narromine), Brian Johnstone (Dunedoo), Keith Hemsworth (Coonamble), Ricky Watford (Walgett), Brian Quinton, Josh Miller and Joel Thompson (Forbes), Billy Burns (Parkes), Wilfred Williams and Jai Field (Cowra), Brian Norrie (Eugowra), George Rose (Bathurst), Cody Ramsay (Molong) and a strong Dubbo contingent including Billy Noke, Steve Linnane and Kaide Ellis.

Stannies

NEVILLE Smith was a Bathurst boy, a product of St Stanislaus College, who played football in Brisbane in 1938 and then transferred to St George for the 1939 season and was made captain-coach at the young age of 23! Smith took Saints from the wooden spoon to the finals in his first season, and the premiership in his third, when he was the best player in the premiership. Only the War stopped him from playing for Australia. But then concussion got him and he had to retire. Neville Smith died in 1997, when he was living at Allawah in the St George district. He and his wife had no children and Geoff Armstrong says he has not been able to locate any relatives.

Wellington administrator led Saints from 1943-54 CLEM Madden was born in Wellington and rose to the position of St George Club President for nine years from 1944 to 1953. His astute management and strong leadership set the foundation for the club’s magnificent run. z “The Spirit Of The Red V” is published by Stoke Hill Press in association with the St George DRLFC.
