CLASS OF

2021

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY T last seven days have been a roller THE ccoaster of emotion and exhaustion ffor Dubbo’s outgoing Year 12 students. The excitement of preparing for ttheir last school formal, attending their ﬁnal graduation ceremonies plus their last hurrah as a cohort, letting their hair down in the ‘scav’ night tradition is a time of their lives not soon forgotten. The graduation ceremony for 253

Dubbo College Senior Campus Year 12 students was held at Apex Oval on Saturday night, December 4. Seventy-one of them are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) students who represent the largest number of Indigenous students completing their HSC at one school, in NSW. In front of the grandstand packed to the rafters with proud parents, the students paraded onto the ﬁeld wearing graduation caps and gowns. There were more than a few tears

shed on and off the stage while reminiscing the bonds built, friendships forged and gratitude for mentorship from teachers who have left an indelible mark. Former Senior Campus student and guest speaker, Pilot Officer C Bennet, gave an inspiring talk to students encouraging them to chase their dreams citing his story of getting an HSC mark well below his hopes, drifting through university, but always hanging on to the idea of being a ﬁghter pilot.

So, after university, he redid Year 12 subjects needed for the defence force, with the help of former teachers, chased his dream to his current position of being one of a handful of elite pilots trained to fly the F-35 fighter. After all students received special awards and their personal portfolios, they cast their grad caps to the sky. Under bursts of falling confetti, they filed out of the oval with the rest of their lives ahead of them.

TEACHERS SAY: WE NEED MORE THAN THANKS 600-strong turnout for strike

By JOHN RYAN IF numbers count for anything, Tuesday’s 600-strong teacher turnout for a strike during a day of industrial action has sent a strong message to the Dubbo community that things are tough when it comes to the education of local kids. It was the first 24-hour stoppage in 10 years and Dubbo West Public School teacher

Georgia Meredith said she, like so many of her colleagues, felt that enough was enough and she had to draw a line in the sand to let the NSW government knows the sector was at breaking point. “We are struggling at the moment with our workload, we are struggling with our working conditions and teachers at the very heart of it are trying to educate young people and set them up for success and that is at the

core of everything we do,” she said. “We feel like we are failing to achieve that because we are not being provided conditions that are sustainable.” She said that, despite government claims to the contrary, there’s a huge shortage of teachers in NSW at the moment and educators are seeing the impact of that on the ground in schools.

Wellington: Grave state of ﬂooded cemetery FLOODING along the Bell River has raised concerns about the condition of graves in the Wellington cemetery, a number of which have sunk due to the ongoing wet conditions and prolonged water exposure. Particularly affected are those graves at the lower end of the cemetery, and Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has been assessing the damage and continuing to monitor the situation. The affected grave sites have been carefully filled with topsoil, however the task has been hampered by ongoing wet weather making the movement of machinery and equipment impractical and unsafe. Council says it’s assessing the flood plain around the cemetery and will liaise with relevant authorities to guard against a recurrence of the situation. DRC says it’s “mindful” of how distressing the situation may be for the loved ones of those whose grave sites are affected and sought to reassure the community it is acting as quickly and safely as possible while minimising further disruption “to the final resting sites of loved ones”.

Saunders, the cash coming from NSW’s Return and Earn recycling scheme. “RFDS was added as a listed charity to Return and Earn earlier this year, and it’s great to see so many people in our community supporting this important cause –

IN BRIEF

XMAS KIDS GREEN WITH ENVY

Bush workforce numbers enough to make us sick

EVERY year, one local family on Nulla Road outdoes itself when it comes to building the ultimate Christmas display for everyone to enjoy. Jenny and Bob Johnson’s diorama this year will have the neighbours seeing red because they’ll be green with envy. The centrepiece is a giant John Deere tractor made from round and square hay bales, a red ﬂag to a bull when it comes to the green versus red rivalry between John Deere and Case IH. “Another Christmas hay bale extravaganza – it’s a highlight of the festive season for our family, especially for Santa’s little helpers,” Jenny said.

DWINDLING numbers of workers in the healthcare sector across rural and remote regions, including here in the state’s west and far west communities, is having an impact on our overall state of health according to NSW Farmers, which is calling for greater investment to boost the sector’s workforce growth. The organisation says country communities experience a lower level of access to health services, exacerbated by population growth as people move away from capital cities particularly in the wake of Covid-19. NSW Farmers acknowledges the investment in infrastructure for regional health, in particular for hospital buildings and equipment, but says there should be an “equal focus on building the number of health professionals working within these facilities and provide services across the community”. “Telehealth has helped overcome some of the geographical barriers to health care, but this service must complement rather than replace the local delivery of health.” According to the RFDS, rural and remote communities have three times the prevalence of avoidable chronic disease and see doctors at half the rate of those who live in cities.

Carols by Candlelight, Covid-style FOLLOWING a long period of strict Covid-19 restrictions, members of the West Dubbo Rotary Club are again arranging the annual Carols by Candlelight, to be held on newly upgraded Victoria Park No 1 oval on December 12 from 7pm. This will be a free event, however a donation at either of the two entry points will be appreciated to help to support the work of Rotary. Parking is limited on site, and vehicle access is restricted to those suffering a disability, performers, vendors and organisers. Gates will open from 5.30-6pm with entertainment to start from 6.30. The Rotary club has been assured international borders will allow Santa

to visit at about 8-8.30pm with the event to conclude by 9pm. This is a family event with food, drinks and ice creams available as well as flame-proof candles and glow sticks to purchase,

or you can bring your own food and soft drinks. The oval is alcohol and smoke free, and no glass bottles are permitted on the ground. Please do not bring real candles. Organisers also ask that people

take their litter with them when leaving. To abide by public health orders, people over 16 will need to check in with a QR code or manual record, and provide proof of vaccination on entry. People

are also asked to maintain social distancing between groups and bring a mask to use when moving about or in any indoor areas. If you’re unwell please do not attend, get tested then stay home.

City mourns after farm fatality at Rawsonville A 30-YEAR-OLD man has died following a weekend farm accident just outside Dubbo. At about 12pm on Sunday, December 5, emergency services were called to a property on Rawsonville Road following reports of a farming accident. The man was transported to Dubbo Hospital before being airlifted to John Hunter Hospital by the Dubbo-based Westpac Rescue helicopter suffering serious injuries, but despite the best efforts of medical staff the man died on Tuesday, December 7. SafeWork NSW has been notified and police will prepare a report for the coroner.

Scales of justice unbalanced for legal aid funds

Continued from page 1

“We feel understaffed, we feel like we are having to split classes and we feel like we can’t take our own sick leave because there aren’t enough casual teachers to support that,” she said. “We just want the department to hear us and help us because we want to be able to do our job the best we can but we need support to be able to do that and the students’ success is at the heart of it.” She’s concerned teachers are putting themselves under undue pressure and believes many grads straight out of university drop out in their early years and committed, passionate teachers who stay in the job get burnt out. “It’s unsustainable at the moment and so we need more people enrolling in teacher education courses, we need more people wanting to do this incredible job and be passionate about this profession but we need to increase the attractiveness of it,” she said. “We need to increase the rate of people wanting to become teachers so it will not only be a fulfilling profession but it’ll also be sus-

tainable, that there are adequate working conditions, that there are adequate salaries for it and that it’s competitive against any other choice that these young people could make when they’re leaving high school and they’re choosing their university degrees.” Hundreds of the striking teachers marched to the Talbragar Street electorate office of Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders and he told Dubbo Photo News he fully supports teachers for the exceptional role they play right across our region. “Today’s stop-work action was triggered by concerns around a teacher shortage and pay rates, but I’m not sure it’s done anything to solve it,” he said. “In regards to teacher shortages, all organisations have vacancies and the vacancy rate in NSW for teachers is at a low level for an organisation of its size – hovering at about 2 per cent. A vacancy in a school is covered by a casual or temporary teacher and does not mean a class is without a teacher. “The Department is preparing to manage any future challenges of teacher supply, which is why

it commissioned research to understand the issue and develop a strategy to address it. “There are lots of promotion opportunities and pathways available to teachers through the Department of Education and we have as a government announced up to $30,000 extra to attract more teachers to regional areas.” NSW Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos said the dispute was now in the hands of the Premier who had the power to prevent further industrial action. “It is disappointing that the only action the government has chosen to take on unsustainable workloads and uncompetitive salaries is legal action to try and prevent today’s strike,” he said. “Mr Perrottet needs to carefully consider the anger and concern displayed today by teachers and principals in every corner of NSW.” A few weeks ago Dubbo Photo News revealed leaked documents from the NSW Education Department which showed there was already a teacher shortage and worse was to come. Mr Saunders was asked if he

had figures showing how many classes in Dubbo and Wellington state schools had been forced to run under “minimal supervision”, ie: multiple classes without teachers being supervised rather than taught during the 2021 school year. There was no reply to that question but the Teachers Federation supplied a quote from Education Minister Sarah Mitchell from August 8, 2021 about a single school in the Riverina. “I am advised that minimal supervision occurred on just over 475 times at Murrumbidgee Regional High School in 2021. Classes have been merged just over 143 times,” the education minister was quoted as saying. Mr Gavrielatos said government anger that students were missing out because of the strike action was designed to stir up parental emotion and societal outrage. “The NSW Government is concerned about children missing out for one day, but we are concerned about children missing out every day because there simply aren’t enough teachers.”

LEGAL aid is a service that helps ensure all Aussies, including residents of Dubbo and other centres in our region, have access to justice. The perils of underfunding it are clear, says the Law Council of Australia, which is calling for adequate resources to be forthcoming from the federal government for legal aid. The organisation says governments “of all shades” have dramatically reduced the share of legal aid funding compared with contributions from the state since 1997 when the federal government provided around 55 per cent of funding. Today, that stands at just 33 per cent, and the Law Council wants to see the government match its state counterparts’ funding. National Legal Aid statistics indicate that 130,567 civil, criminal and family legal aid matters were assigned to practitioners in the 2020-21 financial year, meaning there’s a huge demand being placed on the system which is unable to meet needs. Research shows that left unresolved, the cost of legal issues shifts to other areas of government spending such as health care, child protection, housing and incarceration. “How many Australians eligible for legal aid are mission out and what is the impact on them and their families, both short and long term,” asks the Law Council.

SKIRMISH AT BOOK LAUNCH

Bill Stanford is pleased his book Skirmish Hill is being launched after many Covid-induced postponements. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

By JOHN RYAN THE global pandemic that followed bushfires and now floods is the backdrop for the launch in Dubbo this week of a vital book documenting Australia’s colonial history. Author Bill Stanford says Skirmish Hill consists of 480 pages, 156,200 words, 153 photographs and five maps.

“It’s a non-fiction account of the lives of the men and women from many parts of the world who came to Australia and made their way in the rural and outback areas during the colonial era,” he said. “They had to overcome adversity such as is not encountered in our time. They created the rather unique Australian way of life that is reflected in where and how we

live today. “We owe it to them to ensure their contributions are known, understood, for better and for worse, and not forgotten. How else will our children know?” NSW Health regulations will apply at the launch which means masks must be worn and social distance requirements complied with. The launch is on Friday, De-

cember 10 commencing at 4pm in the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Wingewarra Street where the guest speaker will be Roger Fletcher, CEO of Fletcher Exports Pty Ltd. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the launch, and thereafter at The Book Connection, 178 Macquarie Street, Dubbo.

Obesity cancer link a big fat worry, study shows WITH Christmas fast approaching and the silly season’s temptations to overindulge, the news of links between obesity and thyroid cancer won’t make Dubbo residents too merry this week. According to a new study published in the International Journal of Cancer, one in five future thyroid cancers in Australia can be attributed to our current levels of overweight and obesity. Across the nation, the number of people classed as obese has doubled over the past 20 years – 75 per cent of Aussie blokes and 60 per cent of Aussie women are overweight or obese. The alarming result of this weighty issue is that our ballooning obesity levels will be associated with 10,000 thyroid cancers in the coming decade, accounting for 75 per cent of all cases. Thyroid cancer is one of the few cancers that’s 2-3 times as common in women as in men, but the study found the future thyroid cancer burden attributable to overweight/obese is higher for men compared with women. Being overweight or obese explains two in five thyroid cancers in men, and one in 10 thyroid cancers in women. So the message is clear: avoiding excess weight could help save your life.

ADVERTORIAL

Excellent results that speak for themselves AS we approach the end of our fourth year of operation, the Central West Leadership Academy continues to grow from strength to strength. The Academy is a 21st Century skills school with a drive for character development focusing on grit, tenacity, determination, self-regulation and responsibility for one’s own learning. The school recorded excellent results in several areas this year. The 2021 NAPLAN school average scores were all in the top 2 bands across all years for all subjects. Beyond traditional academic measures like NAPLAN, the school has achieved several outstanding results. The Year 9 da Vinci Decathlon team came second in the state this year, a first for a high school west of the Blue Mountains. The Year 8 team came 10th. Further, Academy Future Problem Solving teams had excellent results at the national finals this year in all three categories. The Global Issues Problem Solving team came 9th in Australia out of 247 teams. The Academy also had entries in 2 other events: Academy student Noah Randell came 2nd place in Australia for his futuristic scene creative writing and will represent Australia at the International Finals in the USA in 2022. The Community Problem Solving Team came first in Australia and will also travel to the US in June to represent AU at the International Finals. Academy Principal Mandi Randell said, “It has been an amazing year of successes in very challenging times. We have shown on a variety of measures that we are able to cultivate Dubbo’s high potential students to be among the best at the state and national levels.” The Academy is opening a Year 1, 2 and 10 class in 2022 with plans to expand into Years 11 and 12 in subsequent years. The Academy is a Candidate

School for the International Baccalaureate, a highly sought after high school credential for university bound students. The IB Diploma Programme at the Academy will be the first IB program offered west of the Blue Mountains and will bring a world class quality high school program to local students for a fraction of the cost to board. Ms Randell says that, “the IB programme will bring a high quality option for local kids that will appeal not only to uni bound local students but to tree changers who are after this program that is currently only offered at elite private schools in Sydney.” “The 6 C’s of Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Character, Citizenship and Communication are the fundamental skills we need our kids to have to face the challenges of an ever evolving globally interconnected future. These skills are embedded from Day 1 in the Academy’s learning experience,” says Principal Mandi Randell.

Applications are open now for Years 1-10 for 2022. For more information, please visit the website: theacademy.nsw.edu.au

Labor and Independent candidates sweep council election By BROOKE JACOBSON DUBBO Regional Council will have a whole new look when it resumes in the new year following elections held last weekend. Independent candidates took 46.5 per cent of the vote, with Labor coming in at 25.6 per cent. The Ben Shields Team polled 20.2 per cent of the vote, with ungrouped candidates taking 7.7 per cent. Former Dubbo mayor Ben Shields is unlikely to win a seat, falling well short in the Central ward to another former mayor, Mathew Dickerson. Mr Dickerson has so far polled more than 50 per cent of first preferences in the ward. Speaking to the ABC, he said taking a break from council for the past five years had given him a fresh perspective. “People talk to you differently when you’re not in council and you can probably see some of those things that need to be addressed, or maybe some things that may need to go back to the way they were,” Mr Dickerson said. Councillor Vicki Etheridge, a former member of the Ben Shields Team who ran as a Labor candidate in the Central Ward, was one of the few serving councillors likely to return. She has already indicated she’s considering throwing

her hat into the ring for mayor, or deputy mayor. East Ward candidate Jeremy Ellis was the strongest contender of the Ben Shields Team, polling 23 per cent of the vote in front of Tubba-Gah Wiradjuri man Lewis Burns, on nearly 20 per cent. First time Independent candidate Shibli Chowdhury is likely to take a seat in the Dubbo South Ward alongside a Labor councillor. The Bangladesh-born finance specialist believes he may be the first person of his heritage likely to get a spot on Dubbo Regional Council. The 2021 local government election was certainly a win for diversity. Of the 31 candidates who ran, 13 were women, and there were also number of Indigenous candidates. A referendum was held alongside the election, with Dubbo region residents asked if they wanted to retain the current ward system of council. More than 76 per cent voted get rid of the ward system, with only the Wellington Ward voting in favour of retaining it. This could result in Wellington losing its two designated councillors for the region. Counting continues and full results may not be known until just before Christmas, with a new council unlikely to be formed until the new year. Ed’s note: Information correct as at time of going to print.

It's last drinks for Ash and Lib Walker who will hand over the keys to the renowned Armatree Hotel's new owners in January. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY/FILE

By JEN COWLEY LAST week, Ash and Lib Walker stood in front of an appreciative gathering, as they have countless times over the past 15 years as owners of the Armatree Hotel, and announced to the 200-strong crowd of mostly locals that the much-loved pub has changed hands. There was scarcely a dry eye in the place, given the passion with which the couple has embraced not only the refurbishment and renaissance of the hotel but the community it serves. “Mixed emotions, for sure,” says Ash, explaining that revealing the news to the people gathered for a fundraising event for suicide prevention charity, Gotcha4Life, seemed like a serendipitous opportunity. Being part of the community and helping out with good causes has been a huge part of what has helped turn a garden-variety outback pub into a widely renowned destination, and the Walkers are confident the new owners will

embrace that spirit of giving back. “They’re aware that it’s part of the way we’ve structured our business – to be part of the community we serve – if they have half the amount of fun we’ve had, they’ll have a great time as the owners of the pub.” Not that the popular publicans are going far – they’re leaving the hotel business, not the district. “We’ve recently bought a farm in the Armatree area,” says Ash, who is at the moment juggling harvests and happy hours. “For us, selling the pub is about spending some more time with our two beautiful young daughters,” he adds, admitting he’s looking forward to spending a little time on the other side of the bar for a change. “For sure – this now becomes our local, so we really wish the new owners every success!” Being the owner operator of a small bush pub isn’t all beer and skittles – for all the joy it’s given the Walkers, it’s also been 15 years of elbow grease and hard slog.

They’ve worked hard to take the hotel from humble little watering hole in a tiny blip on the western NSW map to a (dare we say it?) trendy and much sought-after destination for everything from a cold bevvy and a “countery” on the way past, to weddings, fundraisers and even music festivals catering to upwards of 500 people. In fact, the iconic oasis has twice been named the state’s Best Bush Pub – in 2018 and again in 2019 – and was this year nominated for a national award as Australia’s Bush Hotel of the Year. Over the years the affable pair has faced the veritable reality of Dorothea Mackellar’s famed assessment of our “sunburnt country”, managing to weather the storms of floods and droughts, not to mention a plague of rampant rodents and a global pandemic that left not even their own tiny town untouched. That the pub has emerged as strong – if not stronger – than it’s ever been, as a hub for community, is testament to the spirit both

Ash and Lib, and the Armatree district itself. Ash explains it to a tee: “When you own a bush pub, you own the community’s lounge room. You’re exposed to and privy to everything that goes on and you try to be an integral part of that journey and the challenges that come with living in the bush. “You’re there through all the droughts and floods and fires and mice plagues, but you’re also there for all the tragedies and heartbreaks that happen in a community; you’re there for the good times too – the weddings, the births, the triumphs.” For now, the Walker family is enjoying the prospect of some more “together” time and to the coming weeks as they wind down towards hand-over to the new owners, for whom Ash has this advice: “One thing about this place, you never know what’s going to come walking through that door at you. You never know when you’re going to get that next phone call – but you’ll be a part of it, whatever it is.”

CHILDREN across the Dubbo electorate have unleashed their creativity in this year’s Christmas card design competition according to local MP Dugald Saunders. Each year, Mr Saunders holds a competition for primary-school students children across the electorate to help design his Christmas card and this year 12-year-old Mudgee’s Aaron Devenish been declared the winner. Dubbo students were close behind, with 10-year-old Zeon Berger from St Mary’s Primary School and nine-year-old Emily Lucan from Orana Heights Public School taking out the minor placings. “This year saw a record number of entries with the theme Let Loose from Lockdown – and the kids certainly let loose their creativity!” Mr Saunders said. “Aaron’s design – a ute packed to the brim with presents, zooming off on holiday – really captures that excitement we’re all feeling as Christmas approaches. “The past couple of years have been really challenging for everyone – especially our kids – so this Christmas it’s time to party!” Aaron’s Christmas card design will start arriving in mailboxes across the Dubbo electorate this week.

Get creative with your buy local list this season C

reative Fusion, the brainchild of renowned local visual artist Laura Dunkley, has only been open for six weeks in its new gallery space in Dubbo’s Macquarie Street, but already the response has been overwhelming and positive beyond Laura’s wildest hopes. “Everyone who has been coming in has been saying, “Thank goodness – we really needed this!” – it’s so good to hear, and it just goes to show how hungry people are for local products, particularly local art. “It’s so refreshing to see people wanting to put works from local artists on their walls,” says Laura, smiling in front of a backdrop of gorgeously bright and cheerful artworks, many her own. And of course, when they come in looking for the works of the many local and regional artists whose efforts adorn the walls of Creative Fusion, what they find is an Aladdin’s cave of all kinds of beautifully crafted offerings from local and regional artisans. When you buy something from Creative Fusion – from a big artwork to a small pair of earrings, a candle or a bag of handmade rocky road – you’re not just buying local, you’re encouraging and supporting the region’s creative vein. While Creative Fusion takes a commission, the money for each work or piece sold goes directly back to the artist or maker, so you’re genuinely helping to support locals.

“What we’re selling is creativity and happiness. “It’s giving people the validation that it’s okay to be creative – that it has value. It’s not a waste of time to do something creative. “You’re helping people to keep their dreams alive”. At Creative Fusion, you’ll find a wonderfully unusual range of resin and wood cheese boards, there are beautiful ranges of jewellery, home-made foodie goodies, works from local photographers, from a horticulturalist, candle-makers, authors... the list is almost endless. “Even if you’re not in the market for art, come in and say hello and have a look anyway. There’s plenty of beautiful things here that don’t necessarily require wall space!” Laura can help you find the perfect gift – there’s something to suit every budget and every taste. And if you’re wondering what to give that “hard to buy for” creative person in your life, Creative Fusion also stocks a huge range of blank canvasses, so you can give the gift of inspiration. Come and have a look, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, support regional creatives and, most importantly, buy local this Christmas. Creative Fusion is open from Wednesday to Saturday – 9.30am to 4.30pm (ish) weekdays, Saturday til 1 (ish).

Head and shoulders above the rest By JOHN RYAN

WHEN Matt Barnhill hits the dancefloor at next year’s Stars of Dubbo to raise money for Cancer Council NSW he’ll be head and shoulders above the rest of the performers – literally. “I’m 6’7” and haven’t the best coordination, but let me tell you, when I want to bust a move, everyone look out!” he told Dubbo Photo News. Jokes aside, Matt wants his efforts, and those of his fellow fundraisers, to really stand out because the cause for him is very close to home after having lost his mum to cancer in 2013. “It is an extremely important cause for me and my family. It was really difficult to see my Mum go through not only the stress of cancer but all of the other stresses that come with it, but Cancer Council released so much stress for our family,” he said, revealing that loss is still very raw. “I miss her every day. It would have been nice for her to meet her grandkids and watch her kids grow. I know she is at peace though.” Mr Barnhill says Stars of Dubbo brings so many people together who have been through similar tragic experiences and believes the cathartic relief of sharing individual pain with an empathetic group is incredibly empowering. “This is the most important

part of the process, speaking with others. Cancer Council has so many services available. It feels so different when you can talk and empathise with another who is (going) or has gone through a similar situation,” he said. “Stars of Dubbo is an extraordinary event. Not only do you get to raise money but share your journey with others that have experienced cancer. “Dubbo does such a fantastic job every year with this event. Cancer awareness and raising much needed funds is a must and we are so lucky to have Dubbo and all of the event organisers plan Stars of Dubbo, this should be in every town and city.” Mr Barnhill was full of praise for his dance teacher who he believes is working overtime to help prepare him for the Stars of Dubbo stage – he knows she understands he can’t hide in the background. “I’m so lucky to have Zoey Sweeney from Orana Dance Centre as my dance teacher, they are all amazing and are getting me fit and ready to bust a move. “It’s an absolute honour to share the stage and raise some money, my mum would be proud.” If you’d like to donate to Matt’s fundraising efforts: z Matthew Barnhill – Dance for Cancer Matthew Barnhill's mum died from cancer in 2013, now he's dancBSB – 082 564 ing in Stars of Dubbo to raise money for the Cancer Council in her Account – 982443109 memory.

Kelly name could be No.1 for loved oval DUBBO’S well-known and loved Victoria Park Oval No.1 could soon have a new name, and we’re being invited to have our say on its new moniker. Back in December 2020, following the death of former long-term Dubbo City Council Town Clerk/General Manager Tony Kelly, a motion came before the now Dubbo Regional Council to rename the iconic oval in his honour. Now, the Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on the proposal to gauge community sentiment for renaming the popular sporting arena “Tony Kelly Oval”. A representative of the board said the call for feedback was to extend the opportunity for residents to have input and to ensure the proposed change to the oval’s name reflected the local community’s sentiment.

Mr Kelly was employed by Dubbo City Council for 36 years, 30 of which were as Town Clerk/General Manager, and was instrumental in the development of many of the city’s sporting venues, according to the GNB. Mr Kelly died in November 2020, and the proposed name change for No.1 oval is a bid to “acknowledge his long-standing contributions to the Dubbo region”. While there are no suggestions for alternative names being sought at the moment, you can still have your say on the proposal, details of which can be viewed – and submissions lodged – on the GNB’s website. You can also write to the Secretary, Geographical Names Board, 346 Panorama Avenue, Bathurst 2795. Closing date for submissions is January 3.

BY THE POOL

Highs, lows and early starts are all in a day’s work for “Chappo” ANTHONY Chapman is Head Coach at Orana Aquatic Swimming Club, an organisation he formed back in 1997. He spoke this week with Dubbo Photo News about how he became involved in coaching local swimmers and why his coaching career of 27 years has given him with so much satisfaction. ••• Where did you grow up and go to school? I moved to Dubbo in 1986 and attended St Johns College. I left for work (reasons) from 1990-1993 and have been back here ever since. I formed the Orana Aquatic club in 1997 and I coach athletes of all levels from those just out of learn-to-swim through to national level. What prompted you to get involved? I was involved in learn to swim back in the early ‘90s and when those kids could swim I moved into coaching and have been ever since. Tell us about the early morning starts, how tough is that? The wake up and arrival at the pool is timed to the minute: 5:04am every weekday the alarm goes off which gives me enough time to get up and head to the pool to start the training session at 5.30am. You get used to the early mornings...honest! The start

of the season is the worst as we get there in the dark and cold. I have been on pool deck when it is minus six degrees – at least the water is warm for the swimmers. Tell us about the people you work with. I spend more time with some of my swimmers while they are awake than they do with their own families. Two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoons, five days a week and then we are competing most weekends. We build a strong bond and the teammates are there to support each other. Everyone has their good and bad days (including the coaches) but we all keep each other grounded. I have taken swimmers through to National opens and Olympic trials which is great – but in saying that I still get a buzz when a beginner swimmer wins their first event, or gets out after a race with a huge smile knowing that they have done a new personal best – coaching is not just about the high performance, for me it’s about all the swimmers. What is the level of job satisfaction you receive from coaching the swimmers? Seeing the smile after a swimmer races, getting a thanks from a swimmer after training, coaching swimmers for years and watching them grow and develop and building that rapport with

Anthony Chapman with some of his young charges. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

them which enables me to get them through the hard sessions – swimming really is a 9-10 sessions per week (commitment) for the older competitive swimmers – I have to be there for my swimmers and they know that. That is the satisfaction. Sure, winning is great, being at nationals is a huge achievement, but I think longevity in the sport and having a supportive team around you gives most satisfaction. How good is swimming for young people mentally as well as physically? I tell my swimmers the pool is their happy place, whatever is going on they can forget about while they are swimming. Although I build a team, swimming does become quite individual at times. When your head is down in the water you are there with just your own thoughts so it is a great place to gather them. Swimming works every muscle group so physically it’s demanding and rewarding. Mentally you

have to be tough – getting up for all those early mornings, knowing that some sessions are going to be hard, knowing that you will be sore, that your hair will be rough, you will smell like a pool (always) – and non-swimmers just don’t get it. Tell us about your proudest moment at work. There are plenty but the ones that stand out are the thanks from the swimmers. I have coached nine swimmers through to Nationals which has included Olympic trials and Commonwealth games trials – these I am obviously proud of, but I am just as proud of the swimmers who keep trying, who put their own effort in, who swim new personal best times, who learn to deal with the disappointment of a bad race and come back and try again. Many don’t get the respect that I have for my swimmers – they only see the intense coach at times, pushing them hard – making the train as hard as they can – I am proud that I

S T F I G ! E R O GAL

can do that and that they come back. There are tears at times, vomit at times and yep, they keep coming back – I am proud that I can push the swimmers and proud that they know I am there for them. They put the effort in for me at training and I will always put the effort in for them to help them achieve their goals and to watch them compete. Funniest thing you’ve seen as a swimming coach? There are many but what happens on tour stays on tour. Except the time our bus got flooded. Or the time a swimmer trying for a national 1500m time finished two laps early.... Or all the dress up when we compete interstate – oh the Gatorade challenge now that was a great one... Anything you’d like to add? Swimming is a wonderful sport – tough at times but with a team the hard training is just that little bit easier. As told to John Ryan

Coaching is a love game for Molly By JOHN RYAN MOLLY Quilty grew up in Dubbo and spent her primary school years at Dubbo South Public before heading to Macquarie Anglican Grammar School where the 15-year-old is currently finishing Year 10. Her favourite subjects are PASS (Physical Activity and Sports Studies), history and maths, “Even though I’m bad at it,” she said. Her dream is to travel around Australia for a year then study occupational therapy and believes much of her passion for that career stems from helping her charges as a part-time tennis coach at Dubbo’s Paramount Tennis Club. “It’s massive – the best part is seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces when they win a point.” Molly started coaching at Paramount three years ago and says her family members all enjoy the game. “We all definitely love playing tennis, especially in the Wednes-

day and Thursday night competitions. But Amy and Dad are definitely more competitive,” she said. “I absolutely love it. The enjoyment you get out of it is massive, watching the kids grow and become stronger and better tennis players is the best part. “The youngest kids I coach are three-years-old, and they are madmen, and the oldest I coach is 14, but we have multiple coaching sessions for adults to improve their technique. All the coaches at Paramount love playing tennis and it gives us great enjoyment watching the kids learn and grow.” Molly said the best part about coaching is having a bond with the kids, “seeing them get to trust you and open up to you and all you can do is laugh with them sometimes they are that funny”. “They give me a break. I know that when I go to work, I have to start fresh no matter what has happened in my day and the kids help me laugh at sometimes the

silliest little things. They put a smile on my face.” Molly says tennis is a fantastic game for anyone and believes there is nothing stopping almost anyone from picking up a racquet and having a crack at the game. “You don’t have to be Roger Federer but you do need a good attitude and to be able to have a laugh.” Asked if readers of Dubbo Photo News are ever likely to see Molly Quilty at Wimbledon, she had a ready answer: “You never know who you will see playing at Wimbledon, you’ll probably see me sitting in the stands cheering people on,” she said, never veering far away from being an ambassador for the local courts. “It is fantastic to see new smiley faces at tennis. Feel free to pop down to Paramount Tennis Club on Wingewarra Street to say “hi” and have a chat to one of our amazing coaches. You never know, you may try it and love it!”

For Molly Quilty, coaching tennis is a love game.

Schoolrooms gutted, school community stand strong

DUBBO Photo News has covered the fire at South Dubbo Public in detail elsewhere in this week’s edition of the newspaper but it has to be mentioned in this column that the courage and commitment to defend lives and property from firefighters and first responders was magnificent. Accolades for the teachers and staff at the school who, by all reports, calmly gathered their young charges and led them to safety. Dubbo as a whole owes you a huge debt of gratitude.

Airport turnoff crash THERE were chaotic scenes near the airport turnoff when a B-Double and Toyota Camry collided last Sunday evening. Emergency services rushed to the scene at about 8:20pm and treated four people at the scene. The 35-year-old male driving the sedan, along with the 51-yearold truck driver, were taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for mandatory testing. Three passengers in the Camry, one a 37-year-old and two aged 60, were taken to Dubbo Base Hospital with serious injuries. The 37-year-old man was later released with minor injuries while a 60-year-old woman was later airlifted to Westmead Hospital Sydney in a serious condition. Officers from Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit are conducting inquiries into a collision and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are underway.

Deputy Commissioner retires

New cops ORANA Mid-Western Police District has welcomed five new probationary constables to its ranks following the attestation of 218 recruits at the Police Academy in Goulburn last week. Orana Mid-Western Police District Commander, Superintendent Danny Sullivan APM, welcomed the new recruits to the region as they commence their policing careers. “We are very fortunate to have five new recruits starting across our police district this week,” Supt Sullivan said. “Four new recruits will join Dubbo Police Station, while one will commence duties at Gilgandra.”

Food theft SOME crimes aren’t as high profile or glamorous as others but they can have a massive impact on victims. Police have put out a warning that if you’re getting groceries delivered – and that’s become a really big thing since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic – you need to make sure you safeguard that purchase because if they’re simply left at your front entrance, it makes for an easy target. Police advise that when you place an order for delivery, make sure you choose a delivery time so you’ll be at home to receive it. If that’s not possible, try to make arrangements for a friend or neighbour to collect the delivery on your behalf. This is pretty simple stuff and with so much crime being of an opportunistic nature, these simple precautions can not only save you

from being a victim, it also prevents scarce police resources from getting tied up in the investigation of a theft that need not necessarily have happened.

Handbag theft arrest HERE’S a yarn from which nightmares are made – read this and imagine how you’d feel if the victim was you mum, or your nan. A 77-year-old lady was pushing a trolley of groceries to her car parked behind Dubbo Square shortly before 1pm on December 3 when her handbag was allegedly snatched by a teenage boy, who then bolted towards Bligh Street. A 47-year-old man chased the boy across the oval behind the shopping centre but was allegedly threatened when he confronted the teen. Other bystanders intervened and police were alerted. A 15-year-old boy was arrested after a short foot pursuit by officers and he was taken to Dubbo Police Station where he was charged with steal from person, intimidation, and offensive behaviour. He was refused bail to appear at court. The 77-year-old was shaken but uninjured. Police were keen to thank the community members for their assistance in this incident.

Dubbo shooting – third man charged A THIRD man has been charged by Robbery and Serious Crime Squad detectives over his alleged

involvement in the shooting of a man in Barid Street on November 23 where a 34-year-old man was found inside the home with a gunshot wound to his leg, a wound to his face and lacerations to his arms. Police were told two unknown people wearing face coverings, entered the home and assaulted the man before fleeing the scene. Following inquiries, a 26-yearold man was arrested by detectives at Emerton in Sydney’s west on Wednesday, November 24, and a 31-year-old man was arrested at Wilmot on Friday, November 26. They both remain before the courts. About 10.30am on December 3, police arrested a 48-year-old man on North Parade at Rooty Hill. He was taken to Mt Druitt Police Station and charged with specially aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence, discharge firearm or other loaded arms with intend to cause grievous bodily harm, wound person with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and participate in criminal group.

A CITY boy who learned about policing in the bush when stationed at Walgett and Lightning Ridge has retired as a NSW Police deputy commissioner. Gary Worboys made his final march at the Police Attestation Parade on December 3 as more than 200 new police were being sworn in at the Goulburn Academy. NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said Deputy Commissioner retires after dedicating 40 years to serving the community. “Gary embodies what a police officer is; dedication, commitment, sacrifice and compassion,” Commissioner Fuller said. “I’ve had the privilege to work alongside Gary for many years and I’m proud to call him not only a colleague but also a friend. He will be missed by the women and men in blue; however, we wish him, his wife Deanne, and the family a happy retirement.”

Growing up in Western Sydney, Deputy Commissioner Worboys joined the Force in 1988, spending the early part of his career undertaking operational policing duties in Blacktown, Lismore, Walgett and Lightning Ridge. In May 2017, he was promoted to Deputy Commissioner, Regional NSW Field Operations, focusing his efforts on connecting remote, rural and regional NSW to ensure the best possible response to crimes and community problem solving, with a large part of those responses informed and shaped by the communities themselves. His passion for country NSW, communities and culture also saw him collaborate and consult with Aboriginal elders and council groups to implement a campaign to raise the Aboriginal flag in front of all NSW police stations and buildings. Under his direction, the capabilities of rural crime investigations were expanded and led to the formation of the Rural Crime Prevention Team, which is dedicated to preventing, disrupting and responding to rural crime across all of regional and remote NSW. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Humanity, Heroism, Staff, students and parents from the Dubbo South Public School community were shocked when a number of classrooms were engulfed in a ferocious fire late last week. Here, in their own words, members talk about the post-fire process of rebuilding and, in the words of one staff member, how the shared stories of Humanity, Heroism, Heartache and Hope have brought the community closer together. ••• NESTLED deep in the city’s south, surrounded by towering jacaranda trees in full bloom, in emerald gardens green from the latest unseasonal rain, Dubbo South Public School is steeped in history. Many of Dubbo’s children, past and present, take pride in this school as the beginning of their education. On Thursday a large part of our school's history went up in flames. In an unexpected and frighteningly fierce blaze, the original classrooms were destroyed. As black smoke billowed into the air and amber flames licked the buildings’ old windows, teachers calmly escorted all students to evacuation areas. While trying to account for all children, teachers bravely put themselves in harm's way, double checking no one had been left in the classrooms. Teachers stayed calm as chaos unfolded and ensured all students were safe. The school has lost so much – its staffroom, community room, book room, music and sports classroom. The children have lost their beloved playground. But true to the school’s motto, Forward Always this school will rise from the ashes of this disaster. It will rebuild with its students, its parents and carers and honour its teachers. We will emerge stronger. Sharon Murray – Principal ••• WHAT began as a normal day in a school, took a traumatic turn. We have our well organised drills, we have practised. For me personally, it just kicks in if you follow routines, you keep calm and ensure all staff

and students are accounted for safely and are being looked after. It was the number one priority. You leave it to the emergency services to do their jobs. We got through the day and stepped back to debrief, breathe and collect our thoughts. I cannot talk highly enough of the staff across the whole school. They were exemplary in making sure students were the highest priority and taken care of. We worked hard across the weekend to get the services to investigate and make the site safe and secure with defences to ensure safety. Counsellors have been on the ground to support our teachers and students and families since Friday. Staff returned on Monday to receive support and training on how to continue to support each other, our students and families. We all had time to process and look after each other. Everyone has stepped up. I am most proud of how this traumatic incident has brought the best out of our community. The support, well wishes, the calls for wanting to help has been overwhelming in a good way. True to our motto we are moving Forward Always.

Students returned today to be welcomed by teachers with big smiles. There were many hugs. Students were so glad to be back, to see their teachers and play with their friends. I was greeted with a large bouquet of flowers for the staff from a parent who was here and could not believe how calm and together the teachers were in helping their kids and just wanted to acknowledge her gratitude Kids are already redesigning the new building spaces and play equipment. They are happy and we are getting back on track. We know 2022 will be a much better year for all of our schools. We are all looking forward to a break with our families for Christmas and returning in the new year ready to shine. Natalie Polak – Instructional Leader Learning and Curriculum ••• IT was a hot day. I had just returned to my office in the community room after duty during the afternoon play break. It was 2:25pm.

I sat down at my computer to answer emails and resume a professional learning course when my colleague Sally Gesler said she could smell smoke. She asked me to call the office and she went to investigate. I was on the call when she returned and yelled, “Run – the whole building is on fire!” My thoughts went instantly to my eldest son who was attending Kindergarten transition at the school. Was he okay? Where was the fire? I ran to my desk to grab my phone and keys and picked up my colleague's bag on the floor. I could feel my feet starting to burn from the heat of the floor and when I rose again I could see flames licking the windows. I ran and leaped down the stairs to be embraced by the pale faces of colleagues who had run to our aide. The building behind me was now covered in flames. As I ran to the hall to collect my son who was due to be picked up at 2:30pm I could already see the sky filled with a plume of black smoke and flames jumping

from building to building. Trying to keep as calm as possible I smiled to greet my boy. I tried to find the words to tell my colleagues that there was a fire and all their personal and professional belongings were now lost. I answered my sister’s call to ease her fears and messaged my husband to let him know we are both okay. As I drove my son to his grandparent’s I tried to find the right words to answer his questions about the smoke and flames he had seen. I kissed him goodbye, and he said please don’t die in the fire. I promised him I wouldn’t. As I drove back to Dubbo South Public School only to be confronted with a growing black sky and piercing siren sounds. Weaving my way up small streets in the hopes of being able to find an access point to help my colleagues I was haunted by the worried faces of parents and carers fearing the worst. How do I feel now? While I am heartbroken that our students, parents and carers and colleagues who have already endured a challenging year with the impacts of COVID, now had another traumatic event to overcome, I am ultimately grateful. I am thankful the fire didn’t occur in the break. I am thankful it didn’t start in a classroom. I am thankful all my amazing colleagues had made it out unharmed. I am thankful no child was hurt. And I am thankful my son still thinks the big school is a magical place. Patrice Kent – Classroom Teacher 5/6K •••

Heartache and Hope

I NOTICED some students screaming, so I walked outside my classroom. I saw the flames and smoke above the staffroom. I ensured my students were safe with my neighbouring teacher and Student Learning Support Officers. I went running down to support. I saw the whole building engulfed in flames. I was overcome with fear as my sister Natalie and nephew were in there. My instinct was just to run in there. I was relieved to hear my colleagues tell me she had been able to get out in time and was safe. I ran back into the classroom to grab the fire extinguisher and ran to the staffroom to help put out the blaze. Once entering the staffroom, the flames were from the floor to the roof. After coming out we were asked to clear the kindergarten classrooms and search to ensure no child was left behind. Tim Cassell, Tyla Jenkins and I leaped through windows and checked every corner of this end of the school, with no regard for our own safety. Once all students were accounted for I supported emergency services with informing parents. It felt like a war zone.

When I walked in on Monday morning, it was heartbreaking to see the students’ bags left outside and the classroom in disarray. It was so comforting to see everyone all band together and how community members had our backs. I can’t help but think as NSW considers the value of teachers’ work, how we really are amazing professionals who keep our families most precious children safe above all things. Timothy Cassell – Stage 2 Leader ••• I LOOKED out the library window and saw that the building was

completely orange, like paint. I moved closer and saw there were flames. My instinct was to get people out, away and get the bells to go. I called the fire brigade. I was relaying information on the phone and yelling to colleagues that the community room was on fire. I could see the flames leaping from building to building. I stopped students who were heading back to class. Stage 3 teacher Patrice Kent arrived. I grabbed her and confirmed her sister was safe. I sent staff to evacuate classrooms and unlock gates.

Myself, Patrice Kent, Tyla Jenkins and a parent Pete McCauley were checking rooms adjacent to the fire to make sure everyone had left the building safely. I saw every type of emotion. When my principal put her hands on me and said all the staff and students were accounted for, I was so relieved. Robert Tarry – Sports Teacher ••• MR Tarry was usually in his classroom on a Thursday afternoon but had decided to take the students to the undercover basketball courts to engage in outdoor skills. I remember trying to stay calm for the students when we saw the smoke and flames engulf our classroom from a distance. I apparently took the roll seven times. I feel the loss of my learning space threatens my identity as a teacher. Alexandra Prince – Music Teacher ••• MRS Prince was teaching music to Year 4 when she started to smell smoke. I thought someone was burning biscuits. Student Learning Support Officer Megan Kitcher went to see if she could help. She returned with news that the building was on fire. I got the students into lines and safely evacuated. As we stepped from the building we saw the bright orange flames. Tears rolled down Mrs Prince’s cheeks as she recalled how the

collection of musical instruments, many of them donated to her by her own school music teacher, had been destroyed. I have worked at Dubbo South Public School for 26 years. I have lost all that history. Karen O’Leary – 2022 Kindergarten Leader ••• I WAS organising for the 2022 Kindergarten transition students to go home to their parents at 2:30pm. I had opened the door of the hall to parents distressed that they could see a fire. When I looked I could tell it was my office. My immediate thoughts were getting the children to their parents safely. I think something that will always be with me was a child who was his first day of transition, and I keep thinking I hope he can overcome this trauma and feel comfortable about coming to school next year. I knew I had a job to do but in the back of my mind I was thinking about the gift bags we had lost that we had planned to give to our 2022 kindergarten students to welcome them to our school had all been lost. I had concerns for my own son, I knew he would have exited the school knowing there was a fire in the community room and not knowing if I was safe. Because I was at the other end of the school, it was some time before I could collect him and comfort him. We have lost everything – it is more than resources, it's the time, care and effort that went into the creation and organisation of the resources to support the learning of others. I worked over the weekend to put together new welcome packs for the 2022 Kindergarten students. Big W donated new books, D-Hub donated bags and St Johns Primary also donated facilities and resources. It is important that transition goes ahead this week so our new students won’t be afraid to come to school again and for next year. Briony Bird – Stage 2 Teacher

Humanity, Heroism, Heartache and Hope I DON’T normally work on a Thursday, but was called in to cover my Stage 2 colleague’s class. We had only just returned to class from the break when the neighbouring class came out and the teacher told me to evaluate. I got the students up in lines, grabbed the red folder and walked out to our evacuation site. I looked up and saw the smoke billowing over and thought this was very serious. I had my ‘teacher's hat’ on and knew I needed to stay calm and be there for the students, but my heart was with my own children, Kalli In Year 2 and Macie in Kindergarten. I knew my colleagues would keep them safe. I was teaching at Buninyong School when we lost classrooms to fire overnight. It was devastating at the time but it was nothing like experiencing the fire. The students were amazing in such scary circumstances. Many of them comforted and calmed each other. When I returned on Monday it was confronting to see the devastation but I feel relieved now, I have seen that the kids are ok. I feel much better after seeing students aren’t distressed. I'm very proud to be part of a school community of such brave and kind staff and students. Grateful parent

Book it in for kids’ summer reading CALLING all young bibliophiles – the library’s Summer Reading Club kicked off this week and it’s free for all youngsters aged 5-16. Macquarie Regional Library’s branches across the area will be hosting the program which is a great way for parents to not only nurture a love of reading, but to add to the list of school holiday activities. The club encourages young readers to “explore and connect with books and a range of interactive activities” according to library manager Kathryn McAlister who says the program allows children to bolster their reading confidence. “It is a great way for children to maintain their reading levels during this time while being rewarded for their efforts with some great prizes,” she said. To take part, children simply register at any library branch to receive a registration kit, then log time spent reading and collect prizes and incentives along the way, including local pool vouchers and book prizes. The program runs until the end of January.

DEAR Mrs Murray, Ms Pengilly and ALL DSPS Staff, I can’t thank you all enough for being the calm in the chaos yesterday. Although we all train for emergencies, very rarely do we need to execute those skills. I arrived at the school to pick up my daughter just as kids were being escorted to safety at 2:30pm, Maggie, from kindergarten transition. Faced with a giant plume of smoke and flames lapping over the rooftop, I was very nervous of the unknown. Your staff greeted me calmly at gate and reassured that all the transition kids were safe. The calmness of

the staff was infectious to myself and other parents entering in haste. As I looked around all of the children had staff by their side acknowledging their fear while reassuring them they were safe. Staff were happy to answer my questions about getting my other daughter, Nancy, from her second-grade class. As I walked around the perimeter of the school, I saw teachers and staff members delegating into roles to ensure not only were kids physically protected, but also emotionally. Some were greeting worried parents at the fence to identify

their children’s location, others consoling children and others regulating the exit of children from the grounds. I was incredibly impressed and felt honoured and humbled to be a part of the DSPS community in this moment. Your calmness in this emergency has protected my children, so much so Nancy was sad she couldn’t be with her class and teachers today. And Maggie can’t wait for ‘big school practice’ next week (if allowed). As a previous ICU nurse and now midwife, I’ve dealt with my fair share of emergencies. I know after the calm bravery,

START HERE.

after everyone is safe, after the emergency is over – come the tears, the heartache, the fear and the anger. The "after" can be so much harder than the experience itself so please look after yourself and wrap yourself in love from friends, family and this beautiful DSPS community. I am proud of you all and can’t thank you enough for keeping all of our children safe. Sincerely, Jaime Pulling-Allen and the whole Allen Family (Brendan, Nancy and Maggie)

DUBBO’S proposed rare earths mine is attracting plenty of international interest as a source of materials critical in the high-tech manufacturing sector. Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) the company behind the Toongi project, was pleased that the commissioning at its Korean Metals Plant in Ochang Province, South Korea was marked by a visit to the plant by that nation’s deputy prime minister Hong Nam-ki. ASM has commenced hot commissioning on its neodymium furnace which included firing up the plant’s furnaces,

processing feed material and casting the plant’s first ingots of neodymium metal. These first phase commissioning activities are planned to continue through the first half of 2022, with the full scale plant due for completion in the second half of next year. ASM managing director David Woodall said the hot commissioning milestone was an important one for the company. “The team in South Korea has worked tirelessly to put us in a position to start commissioning activities at the Korean Metals Plant, despite the logistical and supply constraints as a result of Covid-19,”

Mr Woodall said. “Although we have more work to do to complete the installation of the facility and commission the full plant, this is a great early sign that our plant is working as expected for this stage. “Australian Strategic Materials is moving closer to producing commercial quantities of titanium and permanent magnet alloy, as part of our strategy to provide an alternative, secure supply chain for critical metals – we were also extremely honoured to have Deputy Prime Minister Mr Hong Nam-ki visit us at this significant stage for the business.”

DUBBO Fire Station received a thank-you gift from students at South Public after a recent fire and wanted to give a public thank for their thoughts. “Thanks kids, we are glad none of you were hurt, thanks to the teachers who kept you all safe, we hope things return to normal soon,” was the message from the firefighters back to the kids.

Portrait artists face the ultimate test

Grant to help catalogue vintage underwear By BROOKE JACOBSON

Eris Fleming and Eddie Owens (both pictured above) were the two sitters. Also pictured is detail from some of the works.

By BROOKE JACOBSON THE region’s portrait artists were put through their paces last weekend at the Wellington Arts Portrait Artist of the Year competition. Six professional and six emerging artists were challenged to create a portrait in just four hours, with up to $2000 in prize money on offer. Lisa Thomas from Wellington Arts said it was amazing to see the artists using their skills to complete works of art in such a short time. “We asked artists to apply for the competition by sending in a self-portrait and we chose the finalists from that, six professional and six emerging artists,” she said. “We then had two sitters, renowned artist Eris Fleming and local celebrity Eddie

Owens, and they had to sit for four hours, while three from each category of artists did their portrait. “There was no limit on the medium, it could have been oils or pastels or charcoal, and there was a wide variety of mediums. “Some of the artists said they had practiced beforehand, so they could produce a work in that time.” As well as the time limit, Lisa said the artists felt their competition quite keenly. “They were looking over their shoulder a lot – not just at the time, but at everyone else’s work,” she said. “And we had lots of people coming through as the works were being done, to see that unfold from the formwork, to the layers of colour, it was great.” Lisa said there were plans

to expand the competition next year. “We’d love to have similar competitions in Dubbo and Orange, and then have the final here in Wellington,” she said. “The arts as a whole has had to be so resilient during COVID and for us to promote ourselves, we really need to be out there, so it’s been hard. “But people are really looking for things to do again, they’re looking for things to share in and we just hope that next year we can take this to the next level.” The winners of the Portrait Artist of the Year were: Emerging Artist second place – Jan Payne, portrait of Eddie Owens Emerging Artist first place – Therese Woldhuis, portrait of Eris Fleming Professional Artist second

place – David Manson, portrait of Eris Fleming Professional Artist first place – Natalie Reid, portrait of Eddie Owens Competing artists were Gill Pedrana, Gillian Ryan, Barbara Preston, Natacha Walker, Marilyn Hickey, Karen Hogan, Peter Ferguson and Stuart Vorias. The judges were Iberdrola Australia representative Michael Bullock, and Dubbo Regional Council candidate Richard Ivey. “The event would not be possible without the hard work put in by all the team here and friends and also without the support of our generous sponsors Iberdrola Australia and Bridge Motel Wellington,” Lisa said. “It was a wonderful day and it resulted in 12 outstanding portraits.”

IF taking inventory of historical knickers is your cup of tea, you might like to get in touch with the Wellington Museum. The Wellington Historical Society has just been awarded a grant to undertake an assessment of the museum’s collection, which includes women’s underwear dating from the 1890s to the 1940s. The grant from the National Library of Australia is worth $5927, and museum curator Dorothy Blake says everyone at the museum is thrilled. “We’ve been trying to get something like this for some years and I can’t tell you how excited we are,” she said. The assessment of the museum’s collection will be done by Roslyn Russell from Museums and Galleries NSW, guided by museum advisor Tegan Anthes, and members of the historical society. “We’re so thankful for Tegan’s help, she has been incredible and we hope this grant will open the doors to other opportunities like this,” Mrs Blake said. One of the most interesting gems at the museum is a collection of “under garments” which once belonged to socialite, Loretta Quirk. “Loretta died aged 92 and she was never married,” Mrs Blake said. “We believe she might have been engaged to a soldier who was killed in World War One, and certainly a lot of the underwear looks like a traditional trousseau from that era. “Loretta left her large collection of outer garments to the Powerhouse Museum, and her collection of under garments and nightwear to us – it’s really beautiful and so far, we have catalogued 146 pieces.” The museum also houses Chinese artefacts, which once belonged to the Ling family. “We particularly think our Chinese collection has a great significance and we also have some old horse drawn vehicles and a very old sulky,” Mrs Blake said. “The aim of all this is to assess the significance of the collection in relation to local, state and federal history and define where the collection has the most importance.” The museum and its contents are currently moving to a new location at the old police station in Wellington, although it is hoped a more permanent venue will be found. “For a small museum, we do a lot of work and we’re just a small group but we’re very dedicated,” Mrs Blake said. “We’re always looking for more volunteers as well.” To help out at the Wellington Museum, contact Dorothy Blake on: (02) 6845 3562.

With memories, good wishes and thanks to Dianne and Graham Neville Story contributed by THE UNITING CHURCH, WELLINGTON Photos by COLIN ROUSE DIANNE and Graham Neville were farewelled by members of the Uniting Church at a dinner in their honour at the Wellington Memorial Soldiers Club recently. Dianne and Graham have been much loved members of the former Presbyterian Church, then Uniting Church in Wellington. Their children were baptised in St Andrews and they have both been members of the Church Council, Dianne being an elder for some time and also church secretary. In the days of working bees they

were always present to help in many ways. Graham mowed and did yard work for many years. They were always helpers at the church fetes and barbecues that we would have. They helped at Carols In The Caves, with Graham often carting church chairs for the function and Dianne’s St John’s knowledge helped us in lots of ways. As a nursing sister in the community, Dianne showed great caring and understanding of all people. Church outreach programs always saw Dianne organising and giving hours of time, including the church dinners for needy kids. The “Moondara” project was instigated by the Nevilles, who were the

main organisers and workers. This involved a fortnightly barbecue in the library car park for kids that were just “roaming around”. Barbecue sausages and drinks were served, all of which had to be sourced and prepared each time. Dianne visited shops to get donations for this, and Graham had the trusty trailer moving the barbecue to the venue. The “Clothesline Project” was another outreach that saw Dianne spending hours sorting and distributing new clothing given from warehouses in Sydney. During the drought prior to the last one, the church had a truck with all sorts of donations just left in the church garage – all of which had to be sorted and organised to deliver to needy folk. Dianne and Graham and the Hawkes, who were ministers at the time, spent ages sorting these donations.

The Target Christmas Tree provided Christmas gifts for all ages, and Dianne and family again organised presents for all age groups, and saw that these were delivered to a list of people provided by community workers and schools. A Christmas Dinner for those who were on their own was held in the church hall for several years, which Dianne and Graham helped with. In later years, Dianne organised Christmas dinner in the hall for church folk who were on their own, some couples and some single folk who otherwise would have had a lonely day. A Cancer Support Group for the community was held in the church meeting room and Dianne was able to provide a place for sharing and caring as people who were involved in cancer to get together. When this group dissolved a large sum of money was used to help cancer patients with travel, and with much-needed equipment for palliative care in the community. The church would often have visitors for various reasons, including returning ministers and speakers, and there was always a bed provided at the Neville’s home. The screens in the church were donated by Dianne after her mother died and many other quiet donations were also made by the couple. The Wellington Uniting Church community wishes Dianne and Graham Neville well as they prepare their move to live in Dubbo.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

What’s in a name? New era for By JEN COWLEY IF you grew up as a young woman in a rural community in NSW, there’s a better than even chance that at some time during your late teens or early 20s, someone tapped you on the shoulder to throw your hat in the ring for a tilt at the local Miss Showgirl sash. Since it was first staged in 1962, with the aim of forging closer ties between the bush and the big smoke, and encouraging young women to be leaders of industry and community, the showgirl competition has become an integral part of the local show, and has launched many a young woman onto the regional, state and national stage as an advocate for her community. In recent times though, there’s been a growing disquiet that the iconic program – or more precisely, its title – is at best quaint, at worst out-dated and patronising. A change of name has been in the offing for years, and while there have been some minor tweaks – removing the “Miss” for a start – there has never been a suitable alternative proposed that would satisfy all sides of the equation. Until now. From next year, the showgirl competition will morph into the Sydney Royal Young Woman of the Year, a moniker those now holding the reins believe will resonate more positively with the people it’s aiming to entice as entrants, and better reflect the valuable contribution the competition makes to regional NSW. It’s a conundrum not lost on many an “old showgirl” that the 60-year-old competition, which has always attracted a cohort of capable, independent, intelligent advocates for agriculture and regional areas, could be mired in the misconception of chauvinism and paternalism. ••• AMONG them is Jane Diffey who, as 1999 “Miss” Dubbo Showgirl, went on to represent her home town the following year as a Roy-

al Easter Show state finalist, moving then to a long-standing position with the showgirl committee of the Dubbo Show Society. A dedicated community advocate and tireless volunteer, Jane largely credits the showgirl experience with forging the confidence she’s gained to take on so many of these roles. While she disagrees the competition is anything less than a powerful vehicle for young women’s personal and professional development, she believes the change of name signals a welcome shift. “It’s important that the competition remains relevant, and that we continue to look at ways we can encourage young women to enter. “The name change is a significant part of doing that. “We won’t lose too much of the history in changing the name – it will still always be thought of as the showgirl competition, but the

association with the whole ‘Miss’ thing is no longer relevant. The name change is part of making sure the competition continues.” Jane agrees there’s always been an unfortunate and misguided perception that the showgirl competition is a beauty pageant. “That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s about how you, as a young woman, support your community and how being showgirl can benefit your community, but also yourself. “For me, for instance, the competition was an amazing experience on both a personal and a professional level – so many doors were opened through being involved with the showgirl movement and the Dubbo Show Society. ••• DUBBO Show Society stalwart Sue Hood has seen many a showgirl come and go throughout her 40 years’ involvement with the

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

show, 25 of them in the secretary’s role. She speaks of the change in the competition’s name with a discernibly wistful edge, but she understands the motivation. “The name change is definitely a sign of the times, but because I know so much of the history of the movement, I feel sad that the name ‘showgirl’ is gone.” Sue echoes Jane’s comment that even with the name change, “it’ll always be known as the showgirl competition”. “They dropped the ‘Miss’ from the title in about 2001, but there are still people on show societies who refer to the program as Miss Showgirl. You can call it what you like, but attitudes take a while to change.” She believes there’s a need to encourage more young women to become involved in the program, and if changing the name is part

of that “then so be it”. Sue points out another aspect of the motivation behind the shift – the fact that sponsorship for the program was waning in the face of a growing public perception that the word “showgirl” comes with negative connotations. “That’s been a part of it – the fact that they were struggling to get the sponsors,” she says. “So the name change is fine, but it’s important that we hang onto the traditional philosophies and values of the competition.” ••• CAMILLA Herbig donned her sash in 2015 as Dubbo Showgirl, and flew the region’s flag as a 2016 state finalist before following in similar footsteps to Jane by becoming involved with the Dubbo Show Society as well as the statewide organisation. “I have a foot in both camps,” she says of the name change. “I

old Showgirls think losing the tradition of the name is a real shame, particularly having been a showgirl myself and having that identity and connection. “I hope the name change doesn’t mean the competition gets absorbed into the many other young women’s awards that are out there – and there are a number of them,” she says, and she speaks with experience as a former finalist in the NSW Young Rural Woman of the Year awards. “I know the RAS and ASC (Agricultural Societies Council) have worked really hard around the wording and the combination of words to identify what was really important in developing the name. “I think what they’ve come up with is fabulous, but it will take some time to really solidify for people.” Both Camilla and Jane are glowing in their assessment of the benefits of the program, regardless of what it’s called. “The exposure you get to the community, and the connections you build are phenomenal,” Camilla says. “The

skills you develop are invaluable, as is the advocacy role you play for your community.” Jane feels the same. “For Dubbo, the value of the showgirl competition has been extraordinary. We’ve been so successful throughout the history of the competition, and that’s been a great benefit not just to the Dubbo Show Society but to the wider community.” ••• IF there’s a “face” to Dubbo’s showgirl program, it surely belongs to Pauline McAllister who, after decades holding the reins, is the undisputed matriarch of the competition locally. Pauline first became involved with the showgirl movement in Deniliquin in 1972, and stepped seamlessly into the lead role in Dubbo shortly after moving here in 1989. She was at the helm of the local showgirl committee for the best part of three decades before passing the baton to Jane Diffey. After such a long, intimate attachment with the program, Pauline could be for-

given some scepticism about the value of the name change, but ever pragmatic, she understands that the time is right. “Look, you have to move with the times. To someone like me, whether it’s ‘showgirl’ or ‘young woman’ makes little difference, but we need to acknowledge the need for change. “I do think the upper age limit should be lifted to encourage more young women, but apart from that, I’m comfortable with the new name as long as the intent and philosophy isn’t lost. “The showgirl competition – or the Sydney Royal Young Woman of the Year, now – is another important part of this wonderful current push that’s in place to promote and encourage rural women to be a larger part of the community and business sectors. “When you think of all the showgirls that have been through the program, it’s a real launching pad for leaders of the future.”

Contributed by PHILLIPA ENGLISH FROM NALAG IN a year – or rather nigh on two years – that has seen hardship and constant uncertainty, our mental wellbeing and personal resources have been tested beyond comprehension. In these trying times, one of the most important things we can do for ourselves is find hope wherever we can. Each year, local not-forprofit organisation NALAG (National Association for Loss and Grief) hosts a Photo Treasure Hunt where participants are encouraged to go out into their environments and capture the essence of the competition’s theme. This year’s task was to find and capture ‘hope’. In pre-COVID years, this event saw community members come together in a local spot with the NALAG team where they were given the theme on the day and go ‘hunting’ for the best photo op. 2020 and 2021 saw an online version of this event, and though there’s nothing like physically being together as a community to muster up hope, the NALAG team had a more intimate look into the competition entrants homes and lives with the event taking place last month online. “COVID has impacted us all and these past months challenging for many Australians.” says NALAG CEO Debbie Todkill. “Everything is different now and despite what we are dealing with, we wanted to reassure you that hope is everywhere. That may look different to each individual and we wanted people to capture what represents “hope” to them and in turn share with us.” With entries from all over the state, NALAG’s search for “hope” was a resounding success. The competition consist-

NALAG says “here’s cheers” to end of tough year AFTER what almost everyone would agree has been a challenging year, the staff and volunteers of Dubbo-based not-for-profit organisation NALAG (National Association for Loss and Grief) were happy to be able to get together to celebrate making it to the end of 2021, and to share some festive spirit. Gathering in the warm afternoon sunshine of Wahroonga Park, the team shared reflections on the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the past 12 months, and their hopes for a smoother return to “the new normal” in 2022.

SUDOKU EXTRA

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the ﬁgures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

Tony Kelly Oval – have your say on proposed name change 60

December 17-23,, 2020 Dubbo Photo News

“In recognition of the late Tony Kelly’s long and illustrious contribution to the City of Dubbo and the Dubbo Community, we the undersigned respectfully request that Victoria Park Number One Oval be named Tony Kelly Oval in perpetuity, with appropriate signage being installed and a befi fitting naming ceremony be conducted.”

– Ken Rogers

By GEOFF MANN THE above is the opening paragraph of a letter handed to Mayor Ben Shields. His response was gratifying and as expected. “I will prepare a Mayoral Minute for Monday’s meeting. Mr Kelly was General Manager when I started on Council. He mentored me through my initiation as a Councillor and his enormous legacy deserves to be recognised.” Tony Kelly, a larger than life character known and loved as “TC” – Top Cat – served the community of Dubbo and the region for 36 years up until his retirement in November 2004.

and other records. “What is possibly not so well documented is TC’s love of sport and the way it unified communities.” In a testimony to the man everyone called “TC”, the motion to rename No 1 as “Tony Kelly Oval” was passed unanimously and without discussion. ••• KEN Rogers former Director of Parks and Landcare Services and now retired Director Corporate Development I am ho honored nored a and nd p privileged to have th have thee opport opportunity nity it to to speak speak to to you bri briefly eflyy today day about about a very very spespe cial ma man n and tto o ackno acknowledge wledge Barb Kelly, the Kelly h very ver y speci p al lady d who, who h a alllways y in the ba backgroun ckgroun g d, stood be d, behind hi him m.

By GEOFF MANN CYMS and Western Rams Under 18s captain Braye Porter has impressed everyone with his guile and toughness on the field in recent seasons but the young fullback or five-eighth showed he has a vision away from the playing field. The St Johns’ HSC graduate and a couple of mates have established their own sports fashion label and have

been trading at local markets in recent weeks. The point-scoring wizard is off to the Bulldogs this year to join up with former Panthers Matt Burton and Brent Naden. He follows in the footsteps of others from the St Johns’ league nursery including Chris Hughes, Dean Pay, Andrew Ryan, Daniel Conn and Beau Robinson. Interestingly, Braye’s label received an unexpected

boost when a Bulldog’s (now ex) staffer posted a photo of Penrith’s premiership-winning star Billy Kikau wearing Braye’s clothing brand while in talks with Phil Gould and coach Trent Barrett!

A MAJOR honour for former Dubbo City Council General Manager Tony Kelly is one step closer after a letter arrived from the NSW Geographical Names Board this week. Following Mr Kelly’s death just over a year ago, a group of citizens approached the former mayor with a request to rename Victoria Park No 1, the Tony Kelly Oval. The Geographical Names Board is now seeking community feedback on the proposal. ‘TC’ as he was affectionately known was a key driver in the development of the city’s sporting fields in his long service with Dubbo City Council. He oversaw the transformation of pastoral land on the riverbank, north and south of the LH Ford Bridge, the rebirth of an old brickworks cum rubbish tip into Apex Oval with a suite of junior league fields and a clubhouse. His vision was passed on and since he retired, the magnificent Barden Park Athletics Complex, the upgraded Aquatic Centre and our Cycling Centre of Excellence have evolved and there is plenty more to come. “Tony was an ardent CYMS fan, leading the first-grade side with Ken McMullen to four straight grand finals and two premierships. His passion for all sports flowed into touch and cricket and in his latter years he perched on the verandah with the ‘Teds’ to cheer for Dubbo Kangaroos at the Oval where he had

happen often but when it did you knew you were in deep trouble. I fondly remember TC’s weekly debrief with Ken Rogers at 69 Church Street, opposite the Council Administration Building. TC would waltz in, sit down and immediately look for his coffee, made to precise exactness, as well as his six chocolate Monte biscuits. We ran low on those one week and he only got four chocolate Monte’s. The Manager glared at me over his glasses – “That’s one! “ TC was a regular at Dubbo City Bowling Club – ‘The Bowlo’ – before and after his retirement. He commanded the table where only a chosen few could sit. He called it his “Table of Knowledge”. To gain a seat at the TOK, candidates had to answer every question correctly from the Millionaire Hot Seat afternoon quiz show being beamed over the bar! I was delighted to make it to The Table on my first attempt but was peeved to learn I had been ceremoniously evicted because I missed three weeks in a row. Commitment was commitment after all and you only ever got three chances! TC loved to party with his staff and he was a regular (and honorary Life-Member) of the DCC Social Club.

When I visited Tony at Orana Gardens just a couple of days before he died, one of the first things he asked was, “How’s Maree (my wife) and Tom?” Dubbo has had among its citizenry many people who have contributed greatly to the creation of this amazing city.

Hams attract foxes to Duck Pond By GEOFF MANN COMPETITION was fierce in the RSL Indoor Pool on Sunday as wily Ducks looked for ways to ‘steal’ a Christmas ham. The Dubbo Ducks’ first female Life Member, Judy Walsh, says it’s always the same at this time of year. “We call the sly one ‘foxes’ because they sniff around and try to fool the handicapper to scoop the pool. They will do anything to snare the prized hams – go slow in the water with an eye on the clock, tread water before hitting the wall and even more sneakily, put forward ‘phantom’ times,” Judy laughed. Old stagers Ron Everett and Peter Hargreaves both swam with 0.03 off their nominated times in the 25 metres Freestyle to share the December Country Inn Dubbo City monthly trophy. Henry Wilcockson collected his ham in the final after a well calculated swim. Pete H and Rob Rich were awarded the top place in the Breaststroke/ Breaststroke Brace relay after 1st and 2nd placed finishers were found to be “not foxy enough”! Judy’s heart went out to the Sea Eagles’ loving Norm Bahr. “Luck still wasn’t on Norm’s side when he played fox with seven-year-

old Mia Uebergang. The ever-smiling Duckling pushed the former surf-breaker into breaking his time,” she said. The proud grandmother says she wasn’t going to be outdone by Mia. After a “tough” swim against Garry Giddings and Ron Everett in the final of the 25m Backstroke, Judy offered a little advice. “A little stroke correction might help boys!” Results z 25m freestyle – Max Naden, Glenn Smith (2), Garry Giddings (3), Jacob Pearce (4) z 2 x 25m Breastroke Relay – Peter Hargreaves / Rob Riche, Jacob Pearce/Rob Rich (2), Mark Scullard/ Nicole Johnstone (3).

Funding boost for Far West community sport By GEOFF MANN MURDI Paaki Regional Rugby League Council has received significant funding from the NSW Government, to support the continued delivery of vital sports competitions and community support services to regions in the Far West. Parliamentary Secretary to the Deputy Premier, Sam Farraway, said $450,000 will ensure communities can continue to take part in regional competitions. “This funding is really important for the Murdi Paaki Regional Rugby League Council, which supports the Barwon Darling Rugby League, the Outback Rugby League and League Tag competitions across the Far West,” Mr Farraway said. “Without it, the competitions simply can’t exist, and that has other flow-on impacts.” Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the programs being provided are important tools

nities, as well as breaking down social and cultural barriers.” Along with delivering competitions across the Far West region, Murdi Paaki Regional Rugby League Council – through its sports network – offers a range of community support programs. Minister for Sports Natalie Ward said the sport is the fabric of regional communities, helping to contribute to positive social outcomes. “There is no doubt sport brings us together and contributes to an active and more inclusive NSW,” Mrs Ward said. “I’m delighted Murdi Paaki Regional Rugby League Council can continue delivering its services in Far West NSW, helping increase participation, promote healthy lifestyles and improve social cohesion.” To learn more about Murdi Paaki Regional Rugby League Council visit: www.creativecommunityconcepts.com.au/about-us

THE changeable weather probably kept numbers down last Tuesday but the small troupe continued anyway! Di Donnelly kept the female flag flying by winning the Seniors’ 25 metre event, just 0.28 outside her time while Terry Dray had his first win of the season taking out the Seniors 50 metre event. ‘Tippy’ was 0.19 outside his time. Xandah Edwards and Bonni Sheridan took out the Junior events while the Sheridan sisters, Bonni and Lilly combined to win the Brace Relay. The club received some sad news during the week on the passing of former member Robin Gauld. Robin was a past President of the Western District AIF Swimming Association. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeannie and family at this sad time. Upcoming events include the Nyngan trip and the AGM on Sunday 19th December.

‘Bluey’s Boyz’ in line for Interdominion By GEOFF MANN BARRY Brebner has been involved in many adventures since moving to Dubbo in 1970 but this week he is celebrating a first. He and his brothers are part of a syndicate that has Ima Muscle preparing for Saturday’s Inter Dominion Final at Menangle. “My father was a red-head, known by all as Blue so when my brother Charlie from Narromine and the others in Victoria bought into Lotamuscle, we decided that Bluey’s Boyz would be our syndicate name.” Barry, or “BJ” as he was known in his days in charge of the Commonwealth Employment Service (CES) and the Department of Employment, Training and Youth Affairs has been involved in all levels of racing. “I carried a bookmakers’ licence for nearly 40 years, travelling all over the western tracks for gallops, trotters and the dogs. It was a wonderful time. Colleen and I met so many people from different walks of life and our kids learned about the magnificent life of rural communities as we travelled around.” Barry says he is hopeful his horse can catch a break in the final on the south coast track on the

weekend. “Unfortunately I won’t be able to get to the track but I’ll keep in touch with the trainer and connections during the day. It would be an unexpected bonus if Muscle comes first. To win, Muscle will have to overcome the mighty McCarthy connection from Bathurst. In an incredible feat, ‘Team Mac’ has qualified four runners – favourite King Of Swing, Expensive Ego, Spirit of St Louis and Alta Orlando. Still Barry says you can’t win it if you’re in the stables. “Look at Barry and Rhonda Lew and their great local horse Karloo Mick. They took their chances, ran the big fellow all over the country, won an Inter Dominion Consolation Final and then followed that up with a place in an Inter D Final. Lotamuscle could be next,” the always optimistic former Dubbo City Councillor laughed. “It would be a nice bookend to my harness racing career. In 1969 I had a horse in Victoria called Sea Breeze and then my late wife Colleen and I had two good ones here in Dubbo trained by Greg Pay. Bambra Bill and Bambra Adam ran first and second in the Sapling Stakes at Parkes in 1986 so it would be great if Lotamuscle could pick up a trophy for Bluey’s Boyz.”

Barry and Charlie Brebner proud as punch as Lotamuscle ﬂashes home to clinch a spot in the Trotters Final.

SPORT Speedway season ﬁres up By GEOFF MANN Photos conributed by BRETT WILLIAMS MORRIS Park Speedway roared back to life when the Dubbo City Speedway Club's new season commenced last Saturday night. After a frustrating run of wet weekends, Club President Ian Borland says the weather was fine and the track in good shape. “The speedway gods were on our side and we managed to escape the worst of the wet weather. We had a

challenge preparing the track and the rest of the venue but the heat and a light breeze meant by the time we hit the go button everything was fine.” Covid restrictions had delayed the season start by three months so it was very pleasing to see so many entries. “A strong field of 60 cars took to the track in respective classes and the 500 strong crowd was a sign that fans had missed their high-octane action,” Ian added. “We probably lost some fans to Bathurst for the build up to the 1000 but those who came out big race were

treated to plenty of thrills and spills”.
