HORSES FOR CHRISTMAS COURSES SANTA paid a visit to Dubbo Harness Racing Club on the eve of the organisation’s 60th birthday and had a chat to a few of the horses about putting in some overtime work. Apparently the kangaroos Santa uses to pull his sleigh across Australia reckon the job of delivering all the presents around Dubbo is too big for them so they’re looking for a team of local horses to help out. The local steeds said they’d be only too happy to help Santa out because they’re used to being in harness anyway. As a reward, Santa handed out some special Christmas treats on the night.

WHAT’S THE HOLD UP? Election: How votes are counted and why it’s taking so long
By BROOKE JACOBSON WITH the Local Government elections held two weeks ago, many residents might be wondering why the vote counting takes so long. It seems the wheels of democracy turn slowly and it’s for good reason. The NSW Electoral Commission has to ensure that each person’s vote is counted, and counted correctly. Across the state, the Electoral Commission received 290,827 applications for postal votes, 215,757 applications to use iVote, and more than 538,485 people
voted early in person at the Local Government poll. NSW Electoral Commissioner, John Schmidt, said it had been encouraging to see so many people voted early and that ensuring a safe vote had been of vital importance. “Careful planning has gone into delivering these elections and safety has been our top priority,” he said. “All polling places were operated in line with our COVID-safe election guidelines including masks, physical distancing, single-use pens, queue management and voting screen inserts.” But what happens once you’ve
cast your vote? Your ballot papers stay in the ballot box, untouched, until 6pm on election day. The boxes are then opened, and the voting papers are sorted and counted. According to the NSW Electoral Commission, there’s an initial count of ballot papers for mayor – where applicable – and an initial count of ballot papers for all councillor positions. There is also sorting and counting according to first preferences for each candidate and, where applicable, each group. All mayor and councillor ballot papers will undergo a check count, which starts on the Mon-
day following election day. This comprises batching, which is counting the ballot papers into bundles of 50 without examining the preferences. During the check count, the ballot papers will be counted using the NSW Electoral Commission’s computer count system. The closing date for receiving postal votes is Friday, December 17, so until every last postal vote is received and counted, the final results are not able to be published. The distribution of preferences can only be conducted after the close of receipt of postal vote envelopes. The NSW Electoral Commis-
sion website will update results daily until all postal votes have been received and counted. Once the election has been officially declared, results will be displayed at the council office and on the Electoral Commission’s website. A recount will only occur if requested by a candidate in writing and the commissioner believes it’s necessary; or if directed by the commissioner. Date of declaration varies from council to council, depending on how long it takes to count. You can find the NSW Electoral Commission website at: www.elections.nsw.gov.au

Driver blows six times legal limit A MAN has been charged with high-range drink driving after allegedly being caught more than six times over the legal limit at the weekend. About 5.45pm on Sunday, December 12, officers attached to Central West Police District stopped a white Holden utility on the Lachlan Valley Way at Lake Cargelligo, after receiving reports about the manner of driving. The driver, a 50-year-old man, was subjected to a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result. He was arrested and taken to Lake Cargelligo Police Station, where a breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.326. The driver was charged with high-range PCA and had his licence suspended. He was given a future court attendance notice to appear at Lake Cargelligo Local Court on January 19.

Nothing fishy about pump screens By JOHN RYAN AFTER years working with fisheries’ staff, in 2015 Matt Hansen sent some questions to former ag minister Niall Blair about the chances of finding funding to install fish screens on irrigation pumps along the Macquarie River to prevent millions of native fish being sucked up their spouts every year. The Minister was receptive to the idea and began to look into the issue, sparking interest in a government-backed trial along the Macquarie River. Meantime, local fisheries’ staff combined with Macquarie 2100 and Inland Waterways to bring out a fish screen expert from the United States to brief local irrigators on the efficacy, practicality and affordability of screening the intakes on irrigation pumps. Fast forward four years and a massive fish screen installation was built into the intakes on the Trangie/Nevertire irrigation scheme to get some onground results – it was a huge success and allayed irrigator fears at the same time. Current Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall visited Dubbo last week to announce $13.5 million dollars to install more fish screens along the river between Dubbo and the Macquarie Marshes. Inland Waterways co-founder Matt Hansen said it was a “milestone announcement”. “After raising awareness around the importance of fish screening for the best part of a decade it was re-

ally quite an emotional day, to realise that 90 per cent of the fish in the Macquarie will soon be safe from being sucked out of the river,” Mr Hansen told Dubbo Photo News. “Studies showed the fish fingerlings we were stocking were ending up in the irrigation channels, along with wild born fry and endangered species. “To save an estimated two million fish per year will see an incredible boost to our native fish populations in the Macquarie River.” Mr Hansen said many people have devoted their lives to the fish screening cause, knowing the importance and how much dam-
age un screened pumps do. The minister says the program of works will ensure 70 per cent of extracted water is screened, clean and fish friendly, saving more than 2 million native fish every year in the Macquarie River. “Farmers will see significant benefits from using modern screens on their pumps, saving them water, time and money whilst also contributing to the health of the river system.” Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the project will create jobs in the Central West, with a strong focus on using local expertise, and would help local water users reduce their operat-

ing costs because the fine mesh and self-cleaning mechanisms of modern screens keep most debris out of irrigation lines and prevent damage to pumps, blocked sprinklers and clogged filters. Mr Marshall said the project will deliver large-scale, long-term benefits to native fish populations in the area including Murray Cod, Golden Perch, Silver Perch and Eel-tailed Catfish. “After many years of drought and the devastating impact that had on our native fish populations, this work will help fasttrack their recovery.” Construction on the project is expected to begin next year.

IN BRIEF
GOLDEN COCKATOO
Bush push for docs welcome
You’ve heard of the Golden Goose? Well, that’s old news – here’s Dubbo’s very own Golden Cockatoo. Dubbo Photo News’ Ken Smith reckons perception is everything: he took this spectacular photo as the sun was providing a light show especially for our local fauna.
New-look council prepares for first meeting By BROOKE JACOBSON PLANS are already underway for the first meeting of the new-look Dubbo Regional Council (DRC). Once results have been finalised by the NSW Electoral Commission, successful candidates will be notified to take an oath, or affirmation, ahead of an extraordinary meeting to conduct a mayoral election. DRC CEO, Murray Wood, said the oath or affirmation was a requirement of every councillor before the first meeting of a newly elected council. “The results must first be declared by the NSW Electoral Commission,” he said. “The Governance team is
planning for two scenarios in regard to holding the first council meeting, which will be to elect a mayor and to consider creating the deputy mayor role, and subsequent vote. “According to the Local Government Act, this needs to be done within three weeks of the election result being declared.” The two scenarios currently being planned for are: 1. If successful candidates are declared on or before December 22, the first council meeting will be held at 3pm on December 23, subject to the new councillors’ availability. 2. If successful candidates are declared from December 23 to 24, the first meeting of council will be held on Janu-
ary 11, 2022. A Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country will be held on January 11, along with a morning tea to welcome family and friends. Mr Wood added a “robust and comprehensive” induction program had been planned for new councillors involving “in-house and externally facilitated sessions” to be held throughout January and February. “The plans we are working towards for the first meeting of council will assist with a seamless transition into public office for the newly elected body, and we look forward to continuing to serve the community going into this next term of council,” Mr Wood said.
NEWS of a push to bolster the number of medicos in the bush will be music to the ears of western region residents, particularly those in small or remote communities. The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) says the MYEFO (Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook) announcement that incentives would be put in place to encourage medical students out into regional areas is welcome news for rural and remote communities that have long suffered a shortfall in the available medical workforce. One of the new initiatives announced by the federal government will see junior doctors, who have completed their initial intern year as well as two following postgraduate years, receive significant reductions in – and even the elimination of – their remaining Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt once they have served a prescribed period in remote and rural locations. The RDAA says this could save junior doctors more than $100,000 each on their HELP debt – a positive move towards attracting the next generation of doctors to the bush – particularly given many doctors who intend to only come to the bush for a short time soon “get hooked” on rural medicine and decide to stay. The association also says the announcement reflects its philosophy that rural incentive programs should apply solely to “real rural” locations.
CLARIFICATION
Rod Pilon Transport A STORY in last week’s Emergency Report on Page 18 Dubbo Photo News (December 9) regarding a traffic incident near the airport intersection unfortunately carried a supplied photograph showing a sign for Rod Pilon Transport, the premises for which are situated at the same intersection. We wish to clarify that the accident involving a truck and a motor vehicle in no way involved Rod Pilon Transport, its staff, vehicles or premises.

THERE’S a new king in town, and he’s “roaring” to go in the romance stakes with his new girlfriends at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. Lwazi, a four-year-old African Lion, has made the tree change from Sydney to the pridelands of the great western plains where it’s hoped there will soon be the pitter patter of little paws after he’s safely introduced to Marion

and Evelyn. Since arriving a couple of months ago, Lwazi has been keeping watch over his new pride from a distance, behind the scenes, while he gets used to his new home, spending a little introductory time with both his new mates. Keepers are hoping all three will be out on the main exhibit together soon.
Keepers say it’s a nerve-wracking time when introducing new animals, and they’ve been keeping close watch because, like humans, lions have their own behaviours and personalities. So far, the process has been smooth. From their observations, it appears Lwazi is a cheeky and inquisitive but calm lion with “a lovely temperament”.
He’s overcoming his initial shyness, which is a welcome development because his importance to the genetic line of the regional breeding program for the species is significant, a zoo spokesperson said. Let’s hope nature and fate take their course – how good would it be to have lion cubs at our zoo again?
POTHOLES, liquified roads and uneven surfaces will welcome holiday makes travelling in either direction on the Mitchell Highway from Dubbo to Sydney these holidays. In July, NSW state government said 4,300 potholes were repaired however delays on long stretches west of Lithgow continue. Described in August by NSW minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole as the result of “unprecedented weather events” this year as the cause. Ongoing weather events have hindered works.

funds will go towards rebuilding the buildings that were lost in the fire, which include five classrooms, a community literacy hub, music storage rooms and a staffroom. “It’s been lovely to see such an incident, which was so devastating to us, bring our community together, which has been really fantastic,” said principal Sharon Murray. “It’s warming to see that so many people care and are involved
in their local school.” The presidents of the Ingenia Gardens social club, Susan Whillans and Gwen Chislett, said the board was more than pleased to take the opportunity to help out the school. “It turns out a lot of the residents had kids and grandchildren who go to that school. Everyone was quite happy to donate, it was a unanimous decision,” president Susan Whillans reported.

Regand residents light up
‘T’IS the season for giving, and in one Dubbo neighbourhood, residents are taking the spirit of generosity to a whole new level. The good folk of Narrabeen Place in Regand Park have signed on as Santa’s helpers to deck their culde-sac in some of the most extraordinary Christmas light displays our city has ever seen, but what’s more, they’re collecting donations for a very good cause. Appreciative Christmas light lookers are being asked by the
street’s resident Santa to contribute a gold coin in return for the spectacle of the stunning displays, all of which will be directed to local charity Country Hope. Organiser Elesha O’Connor told Dubbo Photo News the newly established not-for-profit entity provides financial and emotional assistance and support for families with children who have been diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. “So when, for instance, they sud-
denly get shipped off to Sydney and the parents lose time at work, Country Hope can assist financially and with emotional support such as professional counselling. “Every dollar raised in Dubbo stays in Dubbo,” Elesha said, adding that this was an important part of establishing the local chapter of Country Hope here last year. “Head office is in Wagga, but a colleague of mine had a little boy die with cancer last year and the family was able to use some of

funds from the charity to help with accommodation and that sort of thing. That’s where I first heard of it, and I wanted to get involved and set up a branch here.” Elesha has been a resident in the street for 11 years, and has turned on a Christmas lights display for each of those years, as have most of her neighbours – “They say I started it,” she laughs – but it made sense to harness the spirit that already exists in the street to support a great cause.
“We all have so much fun setting up the displays – it’s a really social street, and while I’ve never done anything like this before, I thought why not use the opportunity to raise some money, given the number of cars that come around every year. “So if you come into Narrabeen Place and you see Santa, maybe you could find a spare coin or two in your console to donate to this wonderful cause while enjoying the beautiful Christmas lights.”

WITH the opening of international borders still uncertain, Australians are instead inviting multicultural cuisines to their festive gatherings, however, leg ham, seafood and pork still remain the iconic national Christmas dishes. Leg ham is the top-ranked Christmas food in Australian households, followed by seafood and roast pork, according to information gathered by independent grocery chain IGA, which says it’s no surprise that ham remains on top of the menu for the second year running. “It’s a great value versatile dish that can last over a few meals which is why we think it’s hard to beat,” the spokesperson said. The top cuisines Australians are offering at their Christmas feasts this year are Australian at 55 per cent, British at 16 per cent, Italian at 15 per cent and Chinese at 10 per cent. Australians are not shy with introducing new dietary requirements into their holiday meals with vegetarian options peaking at 12 per cent (one per cent increase since 2020), gluten-free adaptations at nine per cent and lactose in-
tolerant requirements rising to seven per cent. It appears that despite the introduction of new cultures into our Christmas meals, Australia’s festive season staples have not changed. As the IGA spokesperson pointed out, some food traditions simply taste like Christmas for some people, so incorporating new cuisines isn’t on the menu. Aussie Christmas food habits and trends still show Australians enjoy their baked vegetables, traditional pudding, salads, fresh fruit, chocolate, pavlova and roast lamb. Despite baby boomers being resistant to change, traditions are evolving with younger generations introducing multiculturalism in their diets. Younger generations, it appears, can drive this demand too as they have access to more cuisines than ever before which is why we think they’re making their own traditions. Research shows that even states have different preferences when it comes to Christmas delicacies – with Queensland and Western Australia peaking in ham rankings while more than 37 per cent of South Australian households select roast lamb

GATHERING YOUR STORIES ABOUT OUT-OF-HOME CARE
ADVERTORIAL
T
he Cultural and Indigenous Research Centre Australia (CIRCA) is gathering stories about Out of Home Care services in the Dubbo area. Why is CIRCA gathering stories? We’ve been contracted by NSW government to evaluate outof-home care and family preservation services in your community. We want to know what parents, carers, and children think
about out-of-home care and family preservation services. We’re interested in whether out-of-home care and family preservation services meet their needs, how much contact they have with out-ofhome care and family preservation case workers and services, what it helps them with, and any suggestions they have for improving the system. How can you share your
story? If you provide out-of-home care for an Aboriginal child, or if you are an Aboriginal parent of a child who is aged 12 or over in out-of-home care, or if you are an Aboriginal parent of a child who is aged 12 or over and receive support services from Uniting or Department of Communities and Justice in Dubbo we’d like to interview you about your experience with those services.
In-person interviews will be held at a time convenient to you. If you’d like to share your story, call Sheena Olsen on 0422 596 182 so she can check to make sure you’re eligible, tell you more about the interview, and so she can schedule your interview. Please note, eligible parents and carers who participate in interviews with us will receive an $80
incentive to compensate them for their time. Also, please rest assured that we will not tell anyone at Uniting or Department of Communities and Justice if you decide to participate in an interview or not, or what you share with us in the interview. Your receipt of services from the organisation will not be affected by your participation in the interviews.
To share your story, call Sheena Olsen on 0422 596 182

YOUR STARS ARIES: Even if you didn’t anticipate it, festivities will take place at your home and you’ll have a lot of preparations to make. You’ll need to be delicate and tactful when dealing with a few of your relatives. TAURUS: You’ll put on some kind of show. At work, you’ll receive recognition for an achievement. When it comes to matters of the heart, remember that it’s a magical time for marriage proposals. GEMINI: Even if you try to stick to a budget, your generosity will prevail and you’ll spoil your loved ones. You could be faced with an unexpected expense. Fortunately, there’ll be plenty of extra work to go around. CANCER: You’ll be the person who puts a smile on everyone’s face. Use caution when running errands. You might consider buying a new car as a Christmas present to yourself. LEO: You might make it to the end
of the year feeling exhausted. A healthy diet should help you regain your strength and give you the energy you need to enjoy your time off. VIRGO: You’ll suggest new activities to do as a family over the holiday season. You might be ready to book plane tickets, a hotel or excursions at the last minute so that you can spend quality time together in an enchanting environment. LIBRA: Avoid waiting until the last minute to get things done, both at work and in terms of your holiday preparations. It’s a good idea to let loose, enjoy the moment and accept that not everything can be perfect. SCORPIO: At work, you’ll participate in a gift exchange. Among your family, you’ll be surprised to find that everyone has accepted your invitation and your home will be packed for the holidays. SAGITTARIUS: At work, your boss
will ask a lot of you just before you’re set to take time off. A lot of responsibilities will fall on your shoulders, and some of the people who were supposed to help won’t be around. CAPRICORN: Take a break from your responsibilities to sort out the concerns that are on your mind. This will leave you with a clear head to have fun and go on an adventure. You’ll give more attention to your relationship. AQUARIUS: Against all odds, your boss will give you new responsibilities that look suspiciously like a promotion. You might just get the raise to go with it. The path to personal and professional success, however, is still hidden from you. PISCES: If you’re single, you’ll be surprised to meet someone new at this time of year. Your people skills will help you find a solution to a family conflict and ensure harmony throughout the holidays. The luckiest signs this week: Virgo, Libra and Scorpio.
Something fishy lands man in court The Rotary Ham Wheel at the Rotunda Markets Members of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie will be jingling their bells this weekend at the Rotunda Markets in Victoria Park for their annual “ham wheel”. The hugely popular yearly Yuletide event is not only a bit of fun and festive fellowship for club members and a good chance to connect with locals, but it’s an important fundraiser that helps support the club’s activities throughout the year in service of their community. It’s been a tough year for organisations and charities like Rotary, so if you’re at the markets this weekend, please dig deep – and you could win a ham for a modest “donation”. The Rotary Ham Wheel starts at 8am this Sunday, December 19 at the markets in Victoria Park.
A 40-YEAR-OLD man faced Dubbo Local Court last week charged with rural crime offences after $56,000 cash was seized by Rural Crime investigators just north of Warren last month. Shortly before 6pm on Friday, November 19, officers attached to the Rural Crime Prevention Team were patrolling as part of Operation Ambush when they stopped a white Toyota Landcruiser on Carinda Road, about 50km north of Warren. Officers spoke with the man before searching his vehicle, seizing $52,400 cash and releasing him pending inquiries.
Following further investigations, officers stopped the same man on Carinda Road, Warren, on the afternoon of Wednesday last week (December 8), searching the vehicle and seizing a further $3700 in cash. The 40-year-old man was arrested and taken to Warren Police Station where he was charged with: Deal with property proceeds of crime Goods in personal custody suspected being stolen Carry unrestrained dog on back of moving vehicle on street Unlawfully use net or trap
for taking fish Possess fish illegally taken Take more fish than daily limit Possess prohibited size fish, and Operate as master non-PWC vessel without licence. The man was refused bail, and appeared at Dubbo Local Court last Thursday. Operation Ambush is an ongoing initiative in the region conducted by members of the Rural Crime Prevention Team (RCPT) targeting illegal hunting and other rural crime-related offences.
The joy Christmas brings... Glows like the lights on a Christmas tree, it’s like a beacon, shining so bright the entire family can feel it. We sincerely hope you have a happy and safe holiday season, from our family to yours. Best wishes from the Evans family and the staff of the Abbey Funeral Home.

Rodent rebate remains for plagued west By TIJANA BIRDJAN RESIDENTS across Dubbo and neighbouring regions will be relieved to hear that the mice bait rebates for farmers, small businesses and households have been extended into 2022. Primary producers will now be able to make multiple claims for zinc phosphide purchases, up to the $10,000 cap until January 31. The mice bait rebate is expected to benefit residents located in the bush who need it most ahead of a potential post-harvest surge. The state government reports that the rodent plague is decreasing, but the rebate has been extended to support farmers and protect crops from resurgence in numbers. Back in February, Dubbo Photo News spoke with Peter Green from Greens Pest Services in Dubbo who said, “Farmers have had really good crops and the upshot of all that is, it’s ideal condition for mice to breed in.” With more than 52,500 households and 6,500 small businesses taking advantage of the $31m rebate, the government is encouraging locals impacted who have not already done so to apply. Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall said the rebates had proved very successful so far and were critical in helping reduced numbers.

“Now is not the time for farmers to be doing paperwork, they should instead be focused on managing their properties through harvest and rain events,” Mr Marshall said. “Farmers did the right thing and baited with zinc phosphide early, ahead of the current harvest, and they will now be able to make multiple claims up to the $10,000 cap and get cash flow support
sooner. “The experts are also telling us, although the number of mice has reduced, it is critical to make this harvest as clean as possible to reduce available food and shelter – which is why we’ve extended the deadline applications.” The NSW Rural Assistance Authority had already approved more than 800 rebates worth $5.5m. Mr Marshall said that the
state will continue to work closely with bait manufacturers to ensure there is enough zinc phosphide concentrate available to produce the bait farmers need to protect harvest. For Dubbo small businesses and households impacted, visit service.nsw.gov.au for rebates. For further information on zinc phosphide rebates, visit www.raa.nsw. gov.au.

CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND
All systems go at Santa’s local workshop By JEN COWLEY IT’S beginning to look a LOT like Christmas, and when we’re talking about a certain little Santa’s workshop in Dubbo, we’re not kidding. Self-confessed “tragic” Carmel Powyer has turned a humble Fitzroy Street house-cum-café into what can only be described as an Aladdin’s cave of all things Christmas. One step over the threshold flings you head long into the spirit of the season with an intoxicating mix of nostalgia and childlike wonder, greeted as you are with all Christmas creatures great and small. The Christmas Shop and Lilli’s Polar Express Café is a culmination of Carmel’s lifelong obsession with the season, and while some may recognise the diminutive Dubbo local from her north Dubbo premises, and from the cafe she ran for some years with husband Phil, the new premises have taken both to a whole new level. The shop is as full as Santa’s sack with everything imaginable pertaining to Christmas, and Carmel is in her element. “I grew up as one of six children and we always had fabulous Christmasses, and I never wanted to let it go,” says Carmel who has managed to find a way to enjoy the season all year ‘round. “We used to decorate our house every year inside and out and it was magical,” she says, confessing to having 30 Christmas trees. “I used to go to Christmas shops and think how lovely it would be to have one of my own.” Carmel says it’s a particular treat to see the way in which children’s eyes light up when they step through the door. “Some of the little ones are a bit ‘iffy’ about the elves,” she says of some of the rather unusual little creatures that peer out and

around and down from every nook and cranny. “But yes, this is a really happy place. I have ladies who come in and they’re having a rotten day and they come in to wander around and just cheer themselves up and it really works.” While it’s a commercial business enterprise and Carmel needs to pay the bills of course, she is insistent that people be welcome to browse without feeling pressured. “To see them cheered up by the shop and enjoying the displays,
that’s lovely, and I never push them to buy anything – but most do.” Carmel says she has noticed the enthusiasm with which people have embraced the Christmas spirit this year thanks to Covid-19 having kept families apart so much over the past two years. “People just want to celebrate something – it’s been so grim. People want to make it special, and I love being able to help with that.” And when Christmas is over?
What then? “Oh, for us it’s Christmas all year ‘round!” Carmel laughs. “We’ll keep it going throughout the year because people like to add to their Christmas collections all year ‘round. Collectors come in and buy things throughout the year so that it’s not all coming at the end of the year, because that’s a very expensive time for everyone. “It works well because they can spread the cost out over the year – it’s not all coming at once.”

The addition of the café has made a huge difference to her business model, she says. “Coffee and Christmas – it’s a great combination. It’s made us a destination. It’s a lovely place to come and have a browse and then relax over a cuppa.” I joke that this might be her work environment, but it’s her “happy place” and she points above my head to a sign over the door proclaiming just that: “This is my happy place,” it says.

Chef’s artistry on show By JEN COWLEY THERE’S a nice synergy with having an eatery as part of the Western Plains Cultural Centre because Dubbo’s maturing foodie culture has turned café fare into something of an art form. These days, there’s more to a casual lunch out than milkshakes and toasted cheese fingers, so it’s just as well Creo’s lead chef has been plying and evolving his trade for more than 30 years. Brian Manning is the “artist” behind the newly refurbished café’s menu, which has been tweaked to ensure there’s something to suit tastes across a broad spectrum of palates. Originally from Eumungerie, Brian has been leading chef at the popular café since it opened as Creo back in February. While the
café, along with pretty much the entire hospitality and food service sector, was stymied by Covid-19 restrictions, it’s positively buzzing now with patrons eager to make up for all that lost café catch-up time. But Brian is used to a hectic pace, having notched up more than three decades in what he says was something of an “accidental career”. “I was out of work at one point and took a job doing some kitchenhand work. It just progressed from there.” Without formal training as such, Brian has honed his skills in the kitchen by being in the kitchen. “I learned on the job by always looking for different ways to explore cooking, trying different things and foods, and ways of preparing foods. What makes a good chef, he says, is the courage to experiment.

“The more you investigate things, the greater your skills.” Brian says it’s not only a chef who needs to upskill – sometimes it’s a case of educating people to try new things as well. “They’ll sometimes look at the menu and think ‘that doesn’t sound all that good’ but when they try it they get a surprise,” he says with amusement. “You have to educate people’s palates.” The menu at Creo is as eclectic as the café’s customers, and includes a diverse selection catering for a range of tastes from comfort food and good old fashioned “big brekkies” to the more exotic of gastronomic fare. Brian says he doesn’t have a signature dish, as such, but pressed to name a favourite he nominates fish as his “go to”. “I like cooking fish – it’s an easy

thing to cook with and you can do so many things with it. It’s also healthy.” Brian enjoys his work as Creo’s chef, and the hours that go with this particular gig suit him well. “There’s not a lot of night work, but we do the occasional evening
event and I cook for those when I get the opportunity,” he says. For now, Brian is happy to continue to ply his trade at Creo, and says he’s not about to hang up his apron any time soon. “I’m pretty content here,” he says. “It’s a good place to work.”

New party a political force to be reckoned with By BROOKE JACOBSON A GROUP of Indigenous community leaders from far-western NSW have officially launched Australia’s first Aboriginal political party with an eye on next year’s Federal Election. The Indigenous-Aboriginal Party of Australia has been officially approved by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and has seven candidates ready to run at the 2022 poll. Party convenor Uncle Owen Whyman, a Barkandji-Malyangapa elder living in Wilcannia, said the party had been in the works for some time and was in response to First Nations people’s concerns they were being overlooked by Canberra. “To get a call from the AEC,
some could say it’s a Christmas present for us because (potentially) we now have a voice in parliament for Indigenous people right across Australia,” Mr Whyman said. The party is planning to run two senate candidates in NSW, two senate candidates in Queensland, and three candidates for the House of Representatives, with possibly more to come. Mr Whyman said the management of the Darling (Barka) River along with the destruction of culturally significant sites, had forced the group into action. “We’ve got a saying: “we don’t own the land, the land owns us”,” Mr Whyman said. “My storyline lies within the river system, and without that river system flowing, we can’t tell
our stories. And it’s the same with the land. “It’s the same across Australia. We want to stop all the fracking and mining going on that’s killing the outback way of life. “We need our kids to be able to tell stories for 100 years to come, for the next generations.” The party’s policies are focussed on environmental management, juvenile justice, education and mental health care, as well as greater representation of Indigenous people, and constitutional recognition of Australia’s First Nations people. The party has more than 2000 members, mostly based in the western and the Upper Hunter regions of New South Wales. But as borders re-open across the country, Mr Whyman said he
and his executive team were looking to reach a broader audience interstate. “Now that we’re a registered party, I’ve put a call out to each state and territory to form their own committees,” he said. “We can come to them and sit down with them, whether in the bush or the office. “To sit down and listen to them. I can only talk on behalf of my concerns in my area. “I’m not going to say that I know everyone else’s concerns in other states or territories. “We want to go to those people and sit down with them, to see what their main concerns and problems are.” Membership of the party is free and is open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
Chopper rescue for truck roll injuries AROUND 9pm on Saturday night (December 11) the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance to attend a motor vehicle accident on the Newell Highway 50km north of Coonabarabran, during which a 44-year-old man sustained pelvic and abdominal injuries in a truck rollover. The patient was treated on scene by paramedics before he was transported by ambulance to Coonabarabran Hospital to rendezvous with the helicopter. The Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team took over treatment, stabilising the man in readiness for the flight, and he was airlifted to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in a stable condition.

Testimonial Fifteen years ago at the age of 60 I became incontinent having had no previous symptoms.It happened suddenly causing huge distress. I took to wearing incontinence panties because I could not control leakage. I would wake during the night to use the bathroom and because I couldn’t reach the bathroom without leakage I even wore panties in bed. After 2 sessions on the EMSELLA CHAIR I no longer wear panties at home day or night, sleep through till dawn and easily to the toilet without leakage. After 3 sessions I was confident enough to not wear panties when visiting friends or restaurants. After 6 sessions I now feel confident not to wear incontinence panties at all.

Gallery event supports local creatives DUBBO’S newest gallery, Creative Fusion, threw open its doors in the lead-up to Christmas for a Plants and Prosecco evening, treating appreciative shoppers and well wishers to a smorgasbord of not only yummy nibblies – served on a huge and superbly crafted wooden platter – but beautiful works and creations from local and regional artists and artisans. One guest, from Sydney who “saw the light on” and
thought she’d drop by after being here for a work meeting, said she was “absolutely blown away” by the quality and diversity of the works and products on offer in the gallery. Owner and local artist, Laura Holland, opened the gallery in October as a way of supporting and promoting local creatives and encouraging people to buy local, says the response has been “overwhelming”.

New traffic lights
IT’S a Christmas lights display of a different kind, but it’s a gift for motorists trying to navigate the Cobra and Fitzroy Streets intersection, with the switch now flicked on at the newly installed and much needed traffic lights. After more than a year’s traffic chaos, the lights will now ensure a greatly improved traffic flow, especially in peak times.

IT’S A RECORD! Australian Neville Sharp has set the Guinness World Records title for loudest burp (male), breaking a record which has stood for over a decade. Neville’s mighty burp was registered at 112.4 decibels (db) in Darwin, Northern Territory, in July. That’s louder than an average electric drill or a trombone! After the attempt Neville shared that he was “more than excited” that he’d finally broken the record. Neville, like most children, was taught how to burp by his older sibling, in his case his sister Sandie (nee Sharp) Hunt. Picking up the skill at age six, Neville has been honing the art of eructing on command ever since. Above: Mandy Dunbar, Monica Henley and Frances Rowley Left: Margie MacFarlane

Fever pitch: Sweden comp for local gamer By JEN COWLEY FOR most people it’s another world completely, but for one young local, the incredible online world of gaming has taken him to the other side of the planet. As a professional player of the online game “Rocket League” – which revolves around “car soccer” – Lachlan “Fever” Aitchison has packed his bags and flown away bound for Stockholm in Sweden, where he’s competing in a major championship tournament which will draw the game’s best from all over the globe. Lachlan, who is celebrating his 17th birthday while in Sweden, is considered one of the top three players of Rocket League in the Oceania region, and is currently contracted to a leading US-based organisation called the Renegades. His official handle is “Fever”, and he’s certainly working up a sweat in the process of building a lucrative career in gaming – and putting Dubbo on the e-map as a result. Lachlan has postponed completion of Years 11 and 12 at school which he will do through TAFE when he’s ready, although his focus right now is on his contract, his game and his competition. But for the benefit of the many of us for whom the world of online gaming is foreign, what exactly is Rocket League? “It’s Car Soccer,” he says, as if that’s going to make perfect sense. He explains further that it’s essentially as it sounds – players control the car to direct a ball as if it were soccer, in games lasting five minutes. “I used to play soccer when I was younger, and then found the game on X-Box, and found I was pretty good at it,” says Lachlan, who isn’t yet licensed to drive a real car. “I started playing as a casual and would go to Sydney to watch the best of the best in Australia – I was in the crowd while (the players) were on stage. “Time went on and I started to improve, then I was picked up by a team called Mind Freak, then I was contracted so that meant I was being paid. “Then I was picked up by the (US-based) Renegades, and now I’m here.” Lachlan admits it “feels really good” to be paid for doing something he loves so much – and we’re not just talking pocket mon-

ey here. A quick online search reveals “Fever” is a pretty big star in the gaming universe and has earned an impressive $27K in the past three years from tournaments alone – that doesn’t include his Renegades salary. Not that the quiet and measured teen likes blowing his own trumpet. “I don’t like to brag at all,” he says, pointing out that it was mum Lisa who called Dubbo Photo News. “She and my mates do all the bragging for me. My friends brag about it all the time, every chance they get.” Both Lachlan and mum Lisa agree there are some pervasive myths about gaming that the young aficionado is unconsciously smashing. He’s already earning a respectable living, travelling the globe, meeting people from all over the world and pursuing a passion involving tangible skill – and he’s doing it from suburban Dubbo – there’s a few myths busted right there. “There’s the idea that gaming is always an addiction,” says Lachlan, who is well spoken, insight-
ful and confident without being cocky. As he further explains what’s involved with his Renegades contract, it’s clear that this is not just a game he’s playing. It’s elite level competitive “sport”, or more precisely, e-sport. “With the Renegades, there are people who help us with our nutrition, our sleep patterns – a sports psychologist, in other words. It’s very similar to other physical sports in general when you get to a professional level.” While hard work, dedication and skill have brought him to this level, Lady Luck certainly played a part in the timing of this latest challenge in terms of slithering out from underneath a global pandemic’s travel restrictions, which lifted just in time for the Scandinavian adventure. Lachlan has never been overseas before – a planned trip to compete in New Zealand last year was scuttled by Covid-19 – but this year, the planets have aligned a little more with a Kiwi team mate also winning the quarantine lottery by securing one of the strictly limited places in the managed iso-
COUNCIL SNAPSHOT
lation program for those wanting to travel abroad. “If he wasn’t able to go, we’d have had to play with our (mind) coach, who isn’t very good,” Lachlan says. While the coach isn’t as good as his charges at actually playing the game, he’s essential to making them as adept as they can be. “The coach helps us with our mentality. Before and during the game it’s about exercise to get us in the right mind-set. Then if we are losing the game, he helps us refresh and get a clear mindset. He uses trigger words, so he says a particular word, for instance, and you have to turn on. He also motivates us and also helps us with tactics – there’s a lot of things that go on, for instance the way you rotate, the way your opponents play. “The game is about adjustment. Mentality is a very important part of it – if you think you’ve lost, you’ve already lost.” The tournament in Stockholm is one of three “majors”, which lead ultimately to the world championships at which there’s a staggering million-plus dollars at stake. Win, lose or draw in Sweden,
there are still prize monies and points to be allocated, so simply competing is a valuable exercise for Lachlan and his team. “I’d like to see how far I can go, because my other goal is to eventually move to America or Europe to play – they’re the top of the top,” he explains, adding that Oceania (Australia, New Zealand) is isolated because players can only compete against each other, while the US and Europe can practice with each other due to what’s called “ping”, or connection. “We can’t play them because of bad connection – it’s a waste of time because we’re so far behind thanks to the (lack of) ping. “The reason this is so important is that whatever you do, what they see on their higher ping, is totally different to what I’m seeing. So say they hit the ball, I won’t see that for four seconds. “The only other server we can play on is in Asia, and their level of competition is far lower than ours.” In other words, Lachlan can only go so far here in the antipodes because his competition is limited – he’s in a career cul-desac of inferior connectivity. “If you move to a location where the competition is way harder, you improve a lot more. “The competition in the US is so much higher – the top players there get paid six figures.” There’s no doubt the Dubbo whiz kid is well known, regarded and followed across the younger demographic and throughout the gaming world, but it seems the rest of us had better switch on soon. “It’s a spectator sport – people call it eSports, but I call it an entertainment,” Lachlan says. His standing and profile in the online and gaming industry has the potential to affect positive change through reaching out to a teenage community to encourage the pursuit of excellence in whatever field they choose. Many of us mightn’t be familiar with this brave new world, but the future is likely to belong to emerging leaders like Lachlan “Fever” Aitchison, who is well aware just what a potential game changer this online community is. “Other generations need to catch up, because this is the future.” You can find Lachlan on Twitter – his handle is @fever_RL – or through the Twitch app: www. twitch.tv

Grow Your Own teacher program targets bush HOT on the heels of industrial action by teachers across the length and breadth of the state last week – prompted partly by what they say is a severe shortage in the ranks – a new initiative has been launched to try to encourage people to consider a teaching career within their own regional communities. “High performing” country youngsters will be targeted through the program, creatively titled “Grow Your Own”, which aims to strengthen the recruitment of quality teachers in regional community. The NSW government cited research that shows people who grow up in the bush as more likely to pursue their chosen careers in a regional setting than their cityborn counterparts. The program will target senior students who, after completing Year 12, will have the opportunity to secure employment as a School Learning Support Officer in a regional school for a year during which it’s intended they would gain “valuable work experience and mentoring”, according to Education Minister Sarah Mitchell. The program will be piloted next year in several regional schools, the location of which is yet to be revealed.

Reviver for drivers given permanent home
TRAVELLERS who are coming to or through Wellington over these fast-approaching holidays will have no excuse not to “stop, revive, survive” with the news that the town’s Visitor Information Centre is being established as the first ever permanent Driver Reviver site in the Dubbo Local Government Area (LGA). With the important role of reducing driver fatigue and encouraging the visitor drive market to stop in Wellington, Dubbo Regional Council was successful in securing funding to the tune of more than $26,000 from the federal government to upgrade the site. The grant has been used to install two outdoor table settings and a brand new coffee machine, which are already on site at the centre, and there’s a circular bench and new bins due to arrive early next year. “The Dubbo LGA is a popular tourist destination, especially with the family drive market,” said Director Culture and Economy Natasha Comber. “While Taronga Western Plains Zoo is a great asset to our region, attracting a large number of our travellers, it’s these types of commitments to amenity that will encourage travellers to take a break from their journey through to Dubbo or beyond and enjoy a free cuppa while the friendly Information Centre staff tell them about the marvellous experiences right here in Wellington.” Ms Comber says having the Wellington Visitor Information Centre as an official Driver Reviver rest stop means drivers can plan ahead knowing they have somewhere to stop, grab a coffee and some biscuits, use the amenities and learn more about the whole region before safely going on their way. “It’s particularly welcome going into the Christmas holiday period

when we generally see an influx in the drive market. The Information Centre is open all year ‘round except on Christmas Day and staff will be on hand to offer assistance to travellers as they call in. First and foremost, according to council, is the promotion of safe travel practices through having a safe location at which drivers can take a break and combat fatigue, but there’s also opportunity for travellers to stay longer and plan to include some Wellington-based experiences such as the caves or local shopping into their trips. This is the first permanent Driver Reviver site in the Dubbo LGA and will be supported with additional signage for the Information Centre on the approaching highways. Traffic volumes for both cars and freight vehicles in the LGA have increased by 53 per cent in the five years to 2021, while between 2015 and 2019 there were 867 vehicle crashes, 28 of which involved fatalities while 200 were deemed “serious”. Wellington’s location on the Mitchell Highway will capture travellers from Sydney to Dubbo and further into Western NSW, allowing drivers to better manage fatigue with the aim of reducing opportunities for road accidents.

Christmas wishes for families By BROOKE JACOBSON
THE COVID-19 pandemic has meant families and loved ones have been separated for almost two years. It’s been a struggle for former Dubbo resident Alex Cowley, who has been living in London and then Singapore during the past few years. As Australia deals with the latest COVID variant and what that might mean for our international borders, Dubbo Photo News spoke with Alex from her home in Singapore. She told us about her time overseas during the pandemic, and her hopes for seeing family again once the Singapore/Australia travel bubble re-opens. “I’ve been in Singapore for just over a year now,” Alex said. “I arrived at the start of November 2020 – mid-pandemic – after six months stuck in Australia separated from my partner, Jordan. “We had been living in London and I got one of the last flights home when the pandemic started. “Jordan has lived here in Singapore now for just over a year and a half.” Alex said it had been a year since she had seen her family here in Australia, and almost two-anda-half years since Jordan had seen his family in the UK. “We had planned to come back to Australia as I was due to be a bridesmaid at two weddings in September this year, we spent a lot of time and energy getting our travel exemptions and visa sorted – the pressure and stress of having to prove your family members are legit enough to be allowed an exemption and having your relationship valued by a complete stranger is horrendous,” Alex said. “However, due to the flight caps imposed by Australia, our flights with Singapore Airlines were cancelled with a week’s notice, which was seriously devastating. “At that time, there were no flights out of Singapore available to book until the end of the year and even then, the prices were
After a pandemic-forced, seven-month return to Dubbo from the UK in 2020, Alex Cowley was finally able to resume her plans to move to Singapore and reunite with her English-born partner of three years.

extortionate. “It’s only now the flight caps have been eased that flights are starting to be available to book. “But because of the stress of having everything cancelled last time, and the hoops we have to jump through to get Jordan to Australia, we have put our plans for a reunion with our Australian family and friends on hold until next year. “Unfortunately, it’s not worth the risk at the moment, and our hearts just couldn’t take another disappointment. “The inability for Australian citizens to leave Australia without an exemption has also been a huge barrier. I was fortunate that my application to leave (to go to Singapore) was approved when it was, as the process only became more difficult and out of reach for a lot of people over the course of this year.”

Alex said the COVID situation in Singapore had been tough, particularly with a revolving set of restrictions. “The closest thing I can equate it to would be a year and a half of Groundhog Day!” she said. “One element we didn’t expect to affect us, has been how the lack of a change of seasons has made waiting out a pandemic so much harder. “A 30-degree sunny day sounds lovely until you have 500 of the same one in a row! Where the whole world has been unable to recall their past year in terms of events, travel, special occasions etc, we have also been unable to mark ours with seasons – a very weird feeling. “We have been so disappointed not to be able to enjoy so much of what makes this city the amazing place it is to live – diverse so-
cial scene, and meeting new people, incredible nightlife and food, corporate work environment and teams, sport and most importantly, travel! “What we were looking forward to most was being never more than one flight away from either of our families in the UK and Australia, and having Asia on our doorstep. “When we made the decision to move, it was under the assumption that we would throw ourselves into the ex-pat life, meeting new people, joining teams, socialising and so on, which just hasn’t been able to happen unfortunately. “In a way, we don’t have it as bad as our friends who have lived here for years, because we don’t truly know what we are really missing – we had never been to Singapore before moving here. “Sadly there has been a huge expat contingent leaving Singapore because of the strict measures put in place by the government here, the separation of families and the lack of any real change in over a year. “Since early 2020, the pendulum has swung between things being open, things being closed and seriously harsh restrictions more times than I can remember.
“We have gone from total lockdown to group sizes of two, then five, then eight, back to five, another lockdown, then five again, back to two and now up to five again this week. “Masks have been mandatory in all settings outside your home since the beginning of the pandemic and still are, there is still a curfew in all food and beverage outlets of 10pm, caps on entry to all the usual attractions and work from home orders enforced in varying levels since last year. Jordan, who moved here for work, has only been able to work from his office twice in the past year and a half.” She added Singapore was not the COVID-free paradise others around the world thought it was. “We get really frustrated by the misinformation around Singapore, open to the world like a kind of shiny utopia,” Alex said. “The travel bubble is certainly exciting news for some, however, for us, it feels like it’s been on the cards for months and months with no real implementation. “There are also still pretty harsh restrictions on who can actually travel in the bubble – at this stage it’s only applicable to Singaporean and Australian citizens.

to be reunited “It does however mean the world of difference to Australian citizens who have been unable to get home yet, and for them to be reunited with their families, that’s the real and undeniable win.” Alex added both she and Jordan were counting the minutes until they could see family again. “Now that the vaccinated travel lanes have opened to the UK, we are flying to spend Christmas and New Year with Jordan’s family – although it does make me sad that I am able to freely travel to and from the UK now, where Australia does not afford the same luxury to my partner and my friends here – after two years of not being able to see them,” she said. “There is a niece I’ll be able to meet for the first time, friends I wasn’t able to say goodbye to when I left due to UK lockdowns that I’ll be able to see again, and that sense of connection and family around us that has been missing from our lives for so long now. “There has been a huge shift for us and for most people around the world I think, in our priorities and what really matters. And be-
ing able to be with and easily get to, the people you love is at the top. “We had no idea how that would feel when that was taken away and we cannot wait to have it back. I know this will be the exact same feelings for my friends who are now able to get back to Australia too, it’s just such a happy time with that to look forward to.” According to Alex, COVID was something we would have to learn to live with. “I’m not worried about COVID itself and I know that comes from a place of complete privilege,” she said. “Jordan and I are young – although I feel I have aged a couple of decades this year! – we’re healthy and were fortunate to have our vaccinations really quickly compared with friends and family in Australia. We will be eligible for our boosters here in January. “I am worried for those who are still genuinely unable to be vaccinated, those who are especially vulnerable in the first place and those around the world who just don’t have the same kind of access to healthcare, or who
can’t social distance. “I just hope that those who can, continue to get the jab, get their boosters, and continue to do their part in minimising the spread for the greater good. “I believe we are going to have to live with this into the future, so I worry that there will be those who are left behind and I worry about ever being separated from Jordan or my family again.” She said she just hoped the world would get back to being as normal as possible in 2022. “It seems for a lot of the world that things are headed towards normality – our family and friends in the UK and US has been living with this new normal for quite some time now,” Alex said. “I for one am just looking forward to getting on with life and I know COVID will be part of that in some way or another for some time.” Note: Alex and her partner Jordan were able to fly out of Singapore and land in London just ahead of the Omicron variant and will stay there for the festive season before returning to Singapore in January – Covid-19 restrictions willing.

Bush medico boost a welcome start The Editor I would like to welcome a new incentive from the federal government that will attract more doctors and nurses to the bush to fix the crippling shortage of medical professionals in our regional hospitals. This is fantastic news and is something that I have fought for since early 2020. It all started from a conversation I had with the late, great Lilliane Brady OAM who served as mayor of Cobar for 23 years. Lilliane was a strident advocate for improving regional health and we discussed the idea of wiping the university debt for young doctors and nurses to entice them to the bush. I included this idea in the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party federal health policy and have fought for it ever since, through meetings with state and federal politicians. I have also spoken on numerous occasions to this issue on radio. I have met with many organisations to talk about the problem of doctor
shortages across the state, many of them have said “the system is broken” and it must be rebuilt with the state and federal governments working together with doctors and nurses on a solution. The chronic shortages of health professionals in the bush is well documented. The major consequence of the primary health care professional shortages is that people are unable to access the health care they need, when they need it. Successive governments have stated that they intend to address the issue of doctor shortages, and yet we have seen no real change to the availability of well-trained general practitioners who are willing to set up a practice in a country town and take up the position of Visiting Medical Officer at the local hospital. This is no silver bullet, but it it’s a good start. Roy Butler, Member for Barwon

Dubbo NRL star fostering next Dubbo region miner to meet South generation of league stars Korean president as part of export deal BY STEPH ALLEN
By STEPH ALLEN
DUBBO export and True Blue NSW Rugby League legend Andrew “Bobcat” Ryan is helping the next generation of rugby league stars shine through a new coaching position. The former Dubbo junior, who previously represented NSW 12 times in 2001 and from 2004-2007, was announced as the CABE NSW Under-19s pathways coach for their Queensland match-up in 2022. Ryan said he received the good news from none other than NSW Blues coach Brad Fittler. “When ‘Freddy’ called me, I was stoked to get that opportunity because I’ve been coaching for the past 10 years, but to be handed the honour of coaching the NSW Under-19s really blew me away,” Ryan told NSW Rugby League. This is not the first time Ryan has been involved with NSWRL. He played for the Parramatta Eels from 2000 to 2002, where he played in the 2001 premiership grand final against the Newcastle Knights – the latter of which took out the win. He also played for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs from 2003 to 2011, and captained the team to a premiership win against the Sydney Roosters in 2004. He was previously involved in camps with fellow True Blue Mark
AUSTRALIA has gained attention as a raw material supply chain alternative to China, with a potential manufacturing partnership currently in the works with South Korea. Prime Minister Scott Morrison will host South Korean President Moon Jae-in this week after extending the invitation earlier this year to discuss defence and trade issues, as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions and technologies including green hydrogen. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, South Korea was the first advanced manufacturer economy to recognise Australia’s ability to provide an alternative to China on critical minerals and rare earths. The visit down under is expected to provide South Korean companies with the confidence to fast-track investment in Australia. President Moon will meet with industry leaders this week and companies such as Australian Strategic Materials (ASM), the rare earth miner with operations near Dubbo that is also currently involved in building a $70 million plant in South Ko-

O’Meley for the NSW Under-18s and Under-20s teams. “I absolutely loved my time doing that,” he told the league body. “The representative pathways games have always been a breeding ground for Rugby League stars and we had players come through including Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, Blake Taaffe and Spencer Leniu who have now gone on to successful NRL careers. “I’m looking forward to working with the next generation of stars coming through and I can’t wait to get started.” The Under-19s State of Origin match between NSW and Queensland will be the first time an interstate pathways match has been played since 2019, due to Covid-19 cancellations.

rea which will produce metals used in magnets. ASM managing director David Woodall told the Sydney Morning Herald his company was keen to play a part in the deal and meet the President. “The benefit for Australia is that we tend to look elsewhere in Asia for our trade, but there are significant opportunities to develop a really strong relationship with South Korea, one that’s based on what’s happened

over the last 60 years,” he said in an interview on Sunday. ASM is a supplier of rare earth minerals such as niobium, and battery minerals such as nickel, copper and lithium – all of which are “absolutely critical” for South Korea’s manufacturing sector – with a focus on new tech and capabilities progressing towards “net zero” emissions. “Korea is really in front of most other countries. It’s got a clear strategy of what it wants to achieve,” Mr Woodall said. South Korea is Australia’s third largest export market with $49 billion in two-way investment as of 2019. The export market, currently valued at $26 billion, could provide further export possibilities including energy, critical minerals, education, financial services, food and agriculture, and health and biotechnology. ASM’s critical metals plant in South Korea will begin producing over 5000 tonnes by the end of 2022. “With the concentration of supply of these critical metals, the rest of the world, Europe, Australia, Korea, realise they need to diversify supply chains,” Mr Woodall said.

IN FOCUS THE THUMBS
Thumbs Up to Macquarie Conservatorium,
which has managed to already line up six concerts for the 2022 series, including two overseas ensembles. It would have been no mean feat, given all the rescheduling musicians around the world have constantly had to do since March last year. Fingers crossed it will be without interruption. Tickets are bound to be snapped up fast!
Thumbs Up to Kate, the physio and ED for treating my broken shoulder. Kate was professional and sympathetic, even purchased me a coffee while I waited. God bless you, Kate.
Thumbs Up to Dave Bailey who was passing our house and noticed our overgrown lawns. In no time he was back and cut our lawns and tidied up for us. Many thanks to Good Samaritan Dave!
Thumbs Down to the able bodied woman who rushed past a person in a wheelchair to use the disabled toilet at Orana Mall on Saturday. Consequently the person in the wheelchair had an accident while waiting for the able bodied person to exit the toilet for the disabled.
Thumbs Up to “Mary” who regularly takes it on her own initiative and in her own time to clean up broken glass and other rubbish in the park next to the South Dubbo dog park and near the oval. She is always cheerful and friendly, and is obviously very community minded. She also volunteers with the RSPCA – great to have people like Mary in our town.
Thumbs Up to Dubbo College Senior Campus teacher James Eddy who is not only a great science teacher, but clearly cares about his students and is very proud of them and the school. AND he can carry off a lycra suit (on stage with Dubbo Theatre Company).
Thumbs Down to motorists who queue across
intersections while in “peak
hour” traffic, making it impossible for people turning into those cross streets. This is particularly a problem on Wheelers Lane in the morning school rush. It’s very inconsiderate so please stop it.
Thumbs Down to pedestrians who do not acknowledge motorists for stopping for them in pedestrian crossings by a simple wave, it is only courtesy. Similarly, those who don’t acknowledge motorists who stop while other motorists reverse out of parking in Dubbo’s main street by giving a simple wave – it’s a courtesy and nice.
Thumbs Up to the Wesley House Players for their fantastic performance of The Tin Woman.

Horizons' Men's Shed celebrates HORIZONS Village Men’s Shed is a happy place at the best of times, but when some 40 members gathered recently for a Christmas party, they wound the good cheer up a notch. Thanks to Alan Nelson for sending us these photos of the members enjoying a bit of festive spirit. Dubbo Photo News also notes that the crew might have even more reasons to celebrate the coming year with the announcement last week of a grant of $2200 to purchase a defibrillator. Parkes MP Mark Coulton announced the funding, acknowledging the importance of men’s sheds like the Horizons Village’s, which gives members a “wonderful social outlet, whether they want to get stuck into a project or just go along for a cuppa and a catch up.
MOTHER NATURE'S CANVAS
Thumbs Down to those seeking the name “Tony Kelly Oval” for what is currently known as Victoria Park Oval. Tony Kelly did a good job as CEO of Dubbo City Council (as it was known then) but was well remunerated for his efforts. Naming of public infrastructure should be reserved for outstanding volunteers.
Thumbs Up to the very generous and kind lady who was in front of me and paid for my coffee on Friday morning at Fast Lane. It was very overwhelming for me and certainly was what I needed on this day. I am in deep gratitude to you, and I hope you felt the love for the remainder of the day as I did. Thank you.

Uniting for children needing special foster care. Uniting for children needing special foster care
What is specialised foster care?
Uniting provides care and support for people through all ages and stages of life, with a focus on people experiencing disadvantage and vulnerability. As a not-for-profit community services organisation serving more than 100,000 people throughout NSW and the ACT each year, they value diversity and welcome everyone exactly as they are.
Specialised foster care is all about providing a stable home life for a child in crisis. Ideally, it requires a long-term commitment to build trust and security, and it’s best suited to professionals with a background and experience in dealing with trauma. A spare bedroom and spare time for extra support is also needed, which is why specialised foster carers are given a non-taxable allowance that reflects the level of commitment required.
Sometimes special care is called for
Are you able to help right now?
Believing that all children and young people deserve to live and thrive in a stable, safe and nurturing home environment, Uniting is currently putting out a call for specialised foster carers. Right now, right here in Dubbo, there are children who are unable to live at home and staying in crisis accommodation. While Uniting’s always looking for many different types of foster carers, sometimes there’s a need for people trained in caring for children with complex behaviours and trauma.
There isn’t necessarily a ‘right time’ to become a foster carer, but there is an urgent need for the right people, right now. If you have a professional background in education, social services, mental health or allied health, combined with experience and understanding of childhood trauma and associated challenges, you could be ideal for specialised care and you’re encouraged to find out more. Please get in touch with Emma Andrews from Uniting, on 02 6885 5010 or at eandrews@uniting.org Emma will explain the ways you can be supported to become a specialised foster carer and answer all your questions.

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.

Michael Dumesney’s Interdom observations Run-swim-run By GEOFF MANN WELL known broadcaster Michael Dumesney from Parkes wasn’t calling the harness racing finals at Menangle Paceway on Saturday night but he was watching closely and came up with some news about the health of the sport in the central west. “As the dust settles on another memorable Inter Dominion series, the awesomeness of what was produced struck a chord. Track Records, massive crowds at regional venues like Bathurst and a script that one could not have written on finals night. “The storyline was just next level, especially with everything that went down after the horses had crossed the line in the big one. “The theatre of it all was gripping! “I woke up feeling very proud of our sport on Sunday morning and contemplated some amazing achievements from our western competitors: “Jason Grimson, trainer of Boncel Benjamin who was awarded the Pacers’ Interdominion, grew up in Young and cut his teeth driving right throughout the Western Dis-
tricts and Riverina. “Belinda McCarthy, who was unlucky to have her first past the post win on Expensive Ego overturned after being found to have prevented Boncel Benjamin from running, hails from Canowindra. Her trainer-driver husband Luke was born and raised in Bathurst! “Josh Gallagher learnt the ropes as a driver when team Lucky Lodge would pack him up and send him to places such as Newcastle and Bathurst, I’m fairly sure his first feature win was a Blayney Cup on Dance For Glory. “Blake Micallef from Young beat the best in the state, to claim Junior Drivers Invitational. He is one of our rising stars. “Amanda Turnbull and Anthony Frisby had runners in the Pacers Final representing the Western Districts and Bathurst, and Barry Brebner and his brothers were part of a syndicate called Blueys Boys that harnessed up Imamuscle in the Trotters Final. “Rickie Alchin from Temora finished fourth behind Tough Monarch in the Trotters final. “McKayler Barnes from Bathurst took out the Indigenous Drivers Invitational. She was

one of many local representatives in the Junior Drivers and Indigenous races. “I could also go on and on about the amount of trainers and drivers that competed last night that left the country as ‘kids’ and are now some of the biggest names in the game.
“Congratulations to all involved in making this carnival a memorable success – TAB Racing at Club Menangle, Harness Racing NSW and Sky Racing. It was a pleasure to be a part of and I’m looking forward to the next time the Interdom rolls back into our great state.”
DUBBO Triathlon Club hosted a revamped event on Sunday to offset the loss of the river as a safe venue at present. “It was a fantastic effort from all competitors in our ‘not Xmas river swim challenge’ event! The run-swim-run event at the Aquatic Leisure Centre was a great way to finish off for the holiday break,” according to president Jason Dearmer. “It’s been a challenging season so far but I’d like to give a massive thanks to everyone who assisted with setup and pack up. The BBC weather was perfect for racing.” The next event is the Forager Funds Management Triathlon NSW Interclub event hosted by Bathurst Wallabies on January 26. “It’s always a fun day in Bathurst, then we mark calendars for TriStars (juniors) on Sunday, February 6, and our annual Ladies Day on March 6,” Jason said. “Keep up the training over the holiday period and take time to enjoy yourselves with family. Stay safe abd see you all in 2022,” was the president’s final message.

Macquarie keeps unbeaten record
By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL THE Blues have started a disrupted season in scintillating fashion, keeping their impressive run going against South Dubbo. In a low-scoring match, the Scorpions took six wickets before overhauling the Hornets’ 82. Blake Smith (4/18) and Will Skinner (3/16) destroyed the South’s line-up. Dubbo Rugby picked up an important win against a representatives depleted RSL Colts –
6/133 to 131. Youngsters Jacob Bruce (5/29), Nate Ambler (3/16) and Darcy Chewings (73no) led the way for the Blues. In the final match, Newtown’s long-serving all-rounder Steve Skinner became the most capped first grader with 214 games. Steve overtook foundation member Bob Stroud for the record, two weeks after topping Stroudy’s first grade runs tally. His unbeaten half century combined with Yogi Chawla’s 5/29 guided the Tigers to a bonus point win.

Club remembers the night they switched on the lights By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL THE generosity of 16 donors saw poles in the ground and “the ribbon of light” extended around Dubbo Paceway in December 1961. More than 4500 attended the opening
all those years ago and last Friday night some of “the originals” were on hand to recall the magic of that 8 race meeting. Club legend Jack Shanks and some of his trots-loving offspring joined the small but chatty crowd for the event that served as a prelude to this Friday night’s Red Ochre Marrs Classic and Carnival of Cups.

Sundee Combo Bowls: Our “Chronologically Challenged” just keep rolling on Contributed by PISTOL PETE JUST one more Sunday for our bowlers to gather on the greens with their families. Some cannot hide their excitement as loved ones breach the borders (legally) and return for much needed face-to-face time. I would like to thank Geoff Mann and Dubbo Photo News for the opportunity to circulate the activities of our bowlers this year. Everyone looks forward to picking up the paper while sipping a coffee or tea – or some other beverage! Many of our Combo bowlers are – dare I say – “chronologically challenged” having played for many years. They still roll up because they still enjoy playing the game, even if they are not “as good as they used to be”. Mind you, some could argue that some do play as good as before but it is what they get out of it during their latter years that completes the enjoyment – the mateship and many friends made from getting together at social bowls. So, on a beautiful morning amongst beautiful people playing beautiful bowls, last Sunday saw 33 “stayers” rise for the game after the previous night’s Christmas party. It has to be said that those who made the effort were still quite chirpy! Cheryl Storch, Peter Bennison and Col Dover d Ron McAuley, Dave Davis and Roy Frost 16-11. It was a case of overcoming an opponent intent on winning. Roy and his side were doing quite well for most of the game, getting to a lead at end 4 and maintaining it until end 12, when Col Dover urged his team forward to take the lead
at end 13 – 11 shots to 10. Team Roy scored a single at the next end – 11 shots each – and that was as close as it got. Team Frost showed they had the Christmas spirit, gifting Col and his reindeer five shots on the last two ends. From after-match reports, “Five more than they should have!” Sue Armstrong, Karen Greenhalge and Bryan O’Sullivan 21 d Shirley Marchant, Gaye Cottee and Peter Sinclair 15. A nice guy, a great treasure, and a gorgeous bowler won the day! Although it was three weeks in a row playing against Peter, Bryan showed how to manage a team of bowlers. The game ended with eight ends shared but Peter’s side were unable to do the multiple shot scoring to overcome Sully’s mob. Ron Morrison, Julie Brown and Neil Hayburn 16 d Allan Stratford, Steve Kelly and Eric Satchell 11. When a few bowlers get to be together and gel, they do good! One could say Ron, Julie and Neil were in the ‘comfy’ zone, gelling for the whole game. They opened the scoring and were never headed, but Allan, Steve – with his new bowls – and Eric – still suffering from his English cricket debacle – grappled with the ‘close-but-not-close-enough’ syndrome! Sue McAuley, Pete Ruzans and Mike Twohill charmed Frank Armstrong, Roger Sherwin and Mel Giddings, scrambling to a 14-shot-to-14; 8 ends to 8 result! In the previous game we had bowlers in the ‘comfy’ zone. Here we had all six in the ‘nice’ zone. They ‘shared’ the pickings – both sides had three single shot ends; four two shot
ends and one three shot end. It is rare to see such ‘nicey’ on the green! Leo Balstrad, John Cole and Ruby Stockings triumphed against Leo Balstrad (swinging again), Ross Pharo and Trish Gosper 24 shots to 15. When a team struggles, the others take up the void. When a “swinger” is involved, the wallet becomes prominent. However, John and Ruby leisurely worked their way to a one shot deficit at end 7, then exploded on the next with a six to “burst” into the lead. Not to be outdone, Ross and Trish fought back and evened the score at end 11 (14 all) before John and Ruby then firmed their resolve, scampering to a good win. By the way, Leo the “swinger” was also involved, but investigations are still underway to see who paid him what! Doc Livingston and Greg Brown trounced Gary Huggins and Gordon Scott – like 24 shots to 10! When does teamwork count? It counts when two blokes play for each other. Doc and Greg certainly enjoyed playing together as they fashioned multi-scores end after end. Gary and Gordon did manage to construct a five at end five. They needed a lot more of that approach. z Winners – No surprise, Doc and Greg were the champs of the morning z Runners up – Leo, John (Cole) and Ruby z Resters – Doc and Peter (Bennison) – groovy! Please take care on the roads. We want you back safely to begin a new year of Sundy morning bowls starting on Sunday, January 2.
