SANTA SWINGS BY FOR BREKKIE

SANTA Claus took a little time out recently from his working year’s biggest week to have a special visit with a very excited group of young fans who were the winners of Dubbo Photo News’ competition to have breakfast with the jolly old fellow. Because it was such a hot day,

Santa gave Rudolph and his other reindeer a day off because they were resting up for the biggest night of the year, but he said his elves were still very busy checking the naughty and nice lists – and making sure everything is all organised in time for his Christmas Eve ‘round the world ﬂight.

We were there to capture all the festive spirit as Santa enjoyed the company of some of his most devoted admirers over a fantastic breakfast spread, lovingly and generously prepared by the team at The Christmas Shop in Fitzroy Street. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Health network vows action on reconciliation WESTERN NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) has launched its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) as a pledge to continue to build and nurture relationships, demonstrate respect for and increase awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) cultures, and provide opportunities for ATSI people, organisations, and communities in true partnership. Under the guidance of Reconciliation Australia, WNSW PHN has committed to a “Reflect” Reconciliation Action Plan, which the organisation launched in early December. WNSW PHN Board Chair Dr Robin Williams says is an important milestone for the organisation. “We know reconciliation is a long journey and there will be many learnings along the way, however, we are ready for this challenge, and our first RAP demonstrates our united commitment to reconciliation and closing the gap.”

Podcast helps farmers grow By BROOKE JACOBSON YOUNG farmers are finding their voice with the help of an award-winning podcast. “Propagate” is the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Young Farmer Business Program podcast and it recently won gold in the Australian Podcast Awards in the ‘Best Business’ podcast category. Senior project officer at the DPI, Alex Hicks, said she was thrilled when the podcast award was announced. “As country people, we spend a lot of time on the road travelling or out in the paddock driving, so podcasts are perfect for that – people are always telling me they clean the house to a podcast, so it’s very accessible,” she said. “Working with young farmers and fishers across NSW, the topic of succession planning always comes up and people are always asking for help with that. “So, what do young people like? They like podcasts, so we thought let’s get on the same medium and give the audience what they want.” Season two of Propagate focuses specifically on farm succession planning and that was the season which was nominated for the business category. “It was a slow start – not many people wanted to get into those issues and we were doubting ourselves, but then we had four families who were very brave and de-

cided to go on the podcast,” Ms Hicks said. “It’s so powerful, and for young farmers, they’re listening to someone like them. We’ve had 6400 listens to that season so far, which is amazing.” Young farmers from Narrabri, Dorrigo, Mungindi and Dubbo spoke about their experiences, and there was also an episode with experts including accountants, and succession planners. “The podcast producers were amazing, they came out from Sydney – this was during COVID

– and went to all the farms and recorded all this audio, then edited it down to 25 minutes per episode,” Ms Hicks said. “The audio is really crisp, they added music; it’s really a big production to do a podcast properly.” She added although succession planning could be a touchy subject, it was something all farming families needed to have a conversation about. “This is such a complex topic, you’re working and living on the farm, you’re having Christmas lunch with your employer basical-

ly – it’s all so intertwined when you’re working with family,” Ms Hicks said. “And it was great because on the podcast, we had the young farmer perspective, and then we hear from their parents as well, so we’re showing two sides of the coin. “When you’re working with family, particularly on a farm, there’s a whole other level of emotional investment that is quite different to other family businesses.” The next season of Propagate is in the planning now and there will be more episodes next year.

Saunders takes on Ag portfolio CHRISTMAS came early this year for Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders with the gift of a seat at the parliamentary cabinet table and the title “The Honourable” added to his moniker. On Sunday evening, Mr Saunders took a call from Nationals Leader and Deputy Premier Paul Toole to say he had been elevated to the position of Minister for Agriculture, with Western NSW also added to his portfolio of responsibilities. The first-term member takes the reins of the ag portfolio from Armidale-based MP Adam Marshall who was dumped from the ministry along with often-controversial water minister Melinda Pavey, who was Australia’s longest-serving Nationals parliamentary representative. Responsibility for that portfolio now falls to Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson. As Deputy Premier, Ba-

thurst based Mr Toole gets to choose his own portfolio, and has elected to take on the Police ministry, which comes back to the Nationals for the first time since former Dubbo MP Troy Grant held the hefty portfolio. Toole also retains overarching portfolio of Minister for Regional NSW.

Also of interest to regional residents are the portfolios of regional health, which Upper House MP and Deputy Nationals Leader Bronnie Taylor adds to her existing stable of Women and Mental Health, and Regional Transport and Roads which is now in the hands of another first-time min-

ister, The Nationals’ Sam Farraway. Responsibility for Aboriginal Affairs, Arts and Regional Youth now sits with North Coast-based Upper House Nats MP Ben Franklin. If the state’s agricultural industry’s peak body, NSW Farmers, has its way, The Honourable Dugald Saunders will have to hit the ground running in his new ministry. In acknowledging the appointment and thanking outgoing minister Marshall, the association’s president James Jackson

said it had been “progressing a number of important issues this year such as resolving land use conflict, support for farmers during plague and natural disaster, and improving regional infrastructure” and stressed that it is critical for that work and investment continue. “After the economic hit of COVID-19, agriculture is in a great position to help rebuild our economy and really cement our place as the engine room of the nation,” he said. On NSW Farmers’ wish list for newly minted Minister Saunders is a solution to on-farm labour shortages, legislation to enshrine the role of the Agriculture Commissioner, and a “lasting solution” around biodiversity and land management. The new ministry, including Mr Saunders, was sworn in at Government House on Tuesday.

IN BRIEF

Boost for base hospital staff By BROOKE JACOBSON FIVE of the nine junior doctors currently at training at Dubbo Base Hospital will be staying on in Dubbo to pursue their careers. The junior doctors will be furthering their study in a range of specialties, including emergency medicine, general practitioner, psychiatry, and anaesthetics. A further two junior doctors will be preferencing rotations in Dubbo in 2022 to become general physicians. According to the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA), these junior doctors have been working in Dubbo for the past two years. There have also been several new positions for advanced trainees in general medicine this year. And in 2022, the Dubbo Base Hospital emergency department will have 13 new doctor trainees starting, up from only three in 2021. The RDAA said this was excellent news for rural health.

TRIVIA TEST

CHRISTMAS JOY RIDE

DUBBO Visitor Centre hosted the “Tomo’s Rides’’ toy run on Saturday, December 11, which involved volunteers driving their collection of motorbikes and cars in support of disadvantaged families supported by the Salvation Army. The riders and members of the community dropped off their toy donations into a skip bin that ended up overflowing with toys and gadgets and was later moved to the Salvation Army headquarters

the following day to be sorted and organised for distribution. Organiser, Colin Thomas, said he was proud of the efforts he and his team contributed to the event. “When the previous organisers fell by the wayside and said they weren’t going to run it this year, we put our hand up and said we’d do it. “We only organised it within a week, but we had some great support straight up with sponsors and volunteers willing to help out. We wanted to keep it going

and get the toys and donations for the Salvos, it’s all going to a good cause, especially around this time of the year,” he said. After the donations were gathered, the riders cruised Macquarie Street, the cavalry of motorbike riders filling the street to the brink with the public watching on from the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle of Tomo’s Rides in its full glory. “We had 90 bikes straight up, with around six or eight cars trailing behind us. The public

response was awesome, people coming to us saying it was a great effort with how short the deadline was. “We’re planning on organising it again next year to be a more family inclusive event, now that we’ve got 12 months in advance to plan the next one, and with the support of the community and businesses willing to assist with sponsorships under our belt,” Mr Thomas said.

Election result waiting possible ward recount AFTER more than two weeks’ counting, the votes were finally tallied this week for a new-look Dubbo Regional Council (DRC), however a recount is being considered for the Wellington ward. After an election process largely determined by preferences, the initial list of successful candidates elected to DRC was announced by the NSW Electoral Commission on Tuesday, with former Mayor Mathew Dickerson topping the poll. Joining him in the chamber will be fellow Central Ward candidate Vicki Etheridge, the only incumbent councillor to be re-elected, Josh Black and Shibli Chowdury for South Ward, Lew-

is Burns and Damien Mahon for East Ward, and Matthew Wright and Pam Wells for North Ward. Richard Ivey garnered the most support of the Wellington ward candidates and will take his place in the council. The count was particularly close for the second spot, with Jess Gough narrowly edging out former Wellington Mayor and DRC Deputy Mayor Anne Jones – by a margin of 31 votes. The count was close enough for Anne Jones to reportedly request a recount. A spokesperson for the NSW Electoral Commission told Dubbo Photo News yesterday that a requested recount for the Wellington ward was being con-

sidered by the NSW Electoral Commissioner. In a nod for diversity, the newlook council includes two Indigenous representatives in Ms Wells and Mr Burns, and Bangladesh-born Shibli Chowdhury. Once the final result is declared, the new councillors will call for an extraordinary meeting of council in order for a mayoral election to be conducted, with DRC CEO Murray Wood vowing to keep the community informed “as that information comes to hand”. Mr Wood said council’s governance team has been working “tirelessly” to ensure as seamless a transition as possible for

the newly-elected body of councillors, with an induction program planned for councillors to be held throughout January and February. Newly elected councillors are required to take an oath or affirmation before the first meeting of council. This will occur ahead of any extraordinary meeting called to elect a mayor and deal with any other legislative requirements. On the question of whether to abolish the controversial ward system, the result of the referendum was a resounding “YES”, with 74.59 per cent of voters supporting a bid to return to a single area consisting of all voters to elect 11 councillors.

LeaderLife’s “incredible work” gets a helping hand DUBBO not-for-profit organisation LeaderLife played a vital role in helping some of our community’s most disadvantaged people make it throughout the worst of the pandemic. Based out of Apollo House under the guidance of CEO Joh Leader, the organisation has been steadily building capacity to support community-led health communication and increase awareness of Covid-19, but also to support vulnerable people who were facing significant hardship during the pandemic particularly with the outbreak of the Delta strain in Dubbo. Now, the LeaderLife team has been granted $30,000 to continue what Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders says is “the incredible work” it does to enrich the community. Ms Leader said the grant would make a huge difference to the operation. “Our Dubbo community was certainly hit hard by COVID-19. More than ever, we need to be connected through a community-driven approach. “The grant will go directly towards supporting local community needs, especially for our children and young people.”

Things go Heywire for top local student By TIJANA BIRDJAN HEYWIRE winner and inaugural Dyiraamalang Cultural Captain, Janaya Rose, has had an exceptional final year at Dubbo College Senior Campus. The win in the ABC Youth Storytelling competition is another addition to Janaya’s previous and ongoing achievements. NASCA, the Indigenous girls’ program run within Dubbo College, presented Janaya with the opportunity to enter the competition. Program Lead Tracey Pigott suggested the competition and assisted Janaya in preparing her entry. “Janaya’s story is inspiring, she has overcome a lot of hardship to achieve what she has today,” Ms Piggott said. Janaya was named the Western Plains winner and her entry has been featured on the ABC Heywire website. “It felt surreal knowing they liked my story, I couldn’t stop smiling” Janaya said. “It’s so important to me because it’s the first time I’ve ever spoken up and talked about my experiences, it felt good to share my story” “(It’s) like a weight off my shoulders” she said. Dubbo College this year broke NSW records with 71 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HSC graduates at one school. “I’m proud, really proud of not just myself, but all of us to make it this far,” said Janaya, who also received two awards at her graduation ceremony – the Gleeson Family Prize of Achievement, which rec-

ognises a student’s embodiment of ideals of the school motto in the academic or cultural field, and the Charles Newman Memorial Award, presented to a student who achieved their HSC despite significant personal adversity. In January 2022, Janaya will pursue her career in the Navy at the Victorian Naval Base. Despite her personal and academic achievements, Janaya acknowledges the vital and ongoing support and opportunities presented by Dubbo College staff and programs. “Honestly, I wouldn’t be headed off to the Navy without their support, especially the Dubbo College Senior Campus NASCA staff, Tracey Piggott and Abbie Merritt. “They pushed me to achieve, they helped to find opportunities for me, some I would not have discovered on my own. “I also took advantage of the schools tutoring and homework programs, they made a huge difference. I wouldn’t have completed the HSC without them. “These programs and the teachers instilled so much more confidence in me and my ability” she said. Tracey Piggott emphasised Janaya’s resilience, dedication and motivation for her successful future. “I’m incredibly proud of Janaya and all she has achieved. I have been lucky enough to get to know her on a personal level and be part of her journey up until this point.” “I look forward to watching her grow and succeed,” Ms Piggott said.

Dirty pokies money probe underway SUBMISSIONS are being sought for a new inquiry into money laundering in pubs and clubs, set up by the NSW Crime Commission to look into how much of the $85 billion put through the pokies across the state last year was “dirty”. The commission will investigate how much of that total poker machine spend, including here in Dubbo and across the region, was the proceeds of crime being laundered on behalf of criminal syndicates. Commissioner Michael Barnes says there’s a reasonable expectation that with so much money involved, some level of criminal activity would be at play, but insisted the inquiry would not start with any preconceptions. “We know pubs and clubs deliver valuable community services and are assured ClubsNSW, the peak body for the industry, is committed to stamping out illegality,” he said.

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.

Silly Season survival kit A guide for consumers By STEPH ALLEN WHILE the Christmas holidays are usually a time for indulgence, fun and travel, there are often unwanted issues that can pop up around the merry season. To avoid unwanted surprises or unexpected problems this Christmas, Dubbo Post News has compiled a list of some of the things you need to know when it comes to consumer rights, travel, and scams this festive season.

Dodgy Christmas Presents After unwrapping gloriously packaged presents from under the tree, the reality of faulty or falsely advertised gifts can be disheartening. According to the NSW Office of Fair Trading, consumers are entitled to return gifts if there is a problem, and can do so by either returning the product in store or via mail. If the cost of returning the goods is pricey, the supplier must collect the product at their own expense and within a reasonable time. Gifts do not have to be returned in the original packaging in order to get a refund. However, if the product is determined to not have a problem, the consumer may be required to pay the transport or inspect costs – which would be estimated before the product is collected. For those still wrapping up their Christmas shopping, there are a few red flags to watch out for. It is illegal for a store to display a “no refunds” sign. “It implies you won’t get an appropriate remedy even if the goods you bought have a major problem,” NSW Fair Trading said on its website. Other examples of illegal signs are “no refund on sale items”, “no refund after seven days”, and “exchange or credit note only for return of sale items”. However, signs that state “no refund for incorrect choice” or “no refund if you change your mind”

are legal – so choose wisely. Suppliers must provide proof of purchase for goods and services worth $75 or more (excluding GST). A consumer’s rights under the consumer guarantees do not have a specific expiry date and can be applied after warranties have expired. Under Australian Consumer Law, consumers have the right to expect acceptable quality, including services must be provided with due care or skill, must be fit for any specified purpose, and must be provided in a reasonable time. Australian Consumer Law permits “consumers to claim compensation (reimbursement) when a service does not meet a guarantee”.

Travel troubles As the country’s interstate borders slowly open, travellers may be rushing to get into short term accommodation or preparing to set off on a well-deserved holiday. More reliance on technology has resulted in a rise in online booking platforms including AirBnB and short-term accommodation options. To be prepared for any unexpected surprised or sub-par accommodation, guests should be aware of laws for booking platforms, hosts, letting agents and guests across NSW.

If a booking platform is made aware of a complaint or dispute concerning a host, guest or premises, the host or guest must be notified as soon as practicable. Guests should be made aware of how to lodge a complaint with the Commissioner. Accommodation must be consistent with any representation presented at the time of booking. The host or an authorised representative must be contactable within ordinary hours to attend to guests, emergencies or any issues at the premises. For more information visit fairtrading.nw.gov.au and search Short Term Rental Accommodation. Guests and accommodation hosts are encouraged to regularly check the Covid-19 Public Health Orders, and complete a Covid-19 Safety Plan were appropriate. Travellers are advised to visit Smartraveller.gov.au before booking to view the latest advice and warnings per region, country and traveller type. Travel insurance is also recommended, as it can cover the loss of the deposit or cancellation fees, medical expenses, personal liability, loss or theft of baggage and travel documents.

Beware of scams Each year, Australians, businesses and the national economy lose

millions of dollars to scammers. Often smart and technologically savvy, scammers manipulate victims through emotional triggers. Types of scams include gaining personal information, cybercrime, buying or selling scams, dating and romance scams, fake charities, investment opportunities, jobs and employment, threats and extortion, unexpected money and unexpected winnings. Unfortunately, once money has been handed over to a scammer, it is unlikely to be recovered. However, residents can protect themselves in the future by reporting scams to the ACCC, or contacting the appropriate agency. If you have been scammed, contact your financial institution immediately to try to prevent the transaction or close your account, change online passwords, contact iDcare, apply for a Commonwealth Victims’ Certificate to re-establish credentials with government or financial institutions. If you’re contacted by scammers, do not respond, watch out for tricks like fake websites, and protect your identity by keeping personal information private. For information about avoiding scams, visit the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s The Little Black Book of Scams and Scamwatch website.

Woman charged after police car rammed A WOMAN has been charged after allegedly driving at a police officer then ramming a fully marked police SUV at Brewarrina last weekend. About 10.30pm on Saturday, December 18, officers from the Central North Police District, went to Bathurst Street in Brewarrina for an unrelated matter. It will be alleged a woman drove a Ford Focus towards police who were standing on the side of the road, with an officer forced to take evasive action to avoid being hit. The woman conducted a U-turn, then allegedly drove the vehicle into the rear of a fully-marked stationary police SUV. The 26-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Brewarrina Police Station where she was charged with predatory driving and affray. She was refused bail before appearing in Dubbo Local Court on Sunday, December 19, where she was formally refused bail to appear in Bourke Local Court on Monday, December 20. The officers involved were not injured.

IT’S A RECORD! Adam Wide from the UK recently set a new Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Christmas brooches. Adam has smashed his previous record with a total of 7921 bejewelled pins. He started assembling brooches in 1984 and ﬁrst set this record in 2008 with 542 items. Since then, he has broken his own record ﬁve times to reach his staggering new total. He even got a few more pieces after he broke the record! Even though he has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds during the 40 years of his hobby, Adam estimates that his collection is worth way more than that now – a whopping £350,000 ($A649,520).

Where to get tested and vaccinated this Christmas

Festive fun just the shot for our ﬂying docs WITH Coronavirus having played such a huge part of our lives over the past year, and the Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section) having in turn played a vital role in making sure those all-important jabs reached regional arms, it’s only fitting that the iconic services’ Christmas decorations should have a touch of Covid flavour. Enter the Dubbo base’s Covid Christmas Tree – cleverly decked out with empty vials of the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine. The creativity reflects a refreshingly positive approach in the face of adversity, and there’s no doubt it’s been a tough year for the RFDS team and the massive region it serves. RFDS flight nurses Kerry Lee Hassan and Kerry Lyn Ukena created a fitting tree for this year’s festive season, with their handiwork to remain on display in the main entrance of the Dubbo Base and a smaller one in the employee tea room. The impressive constructions used just a small per centage of the vials the RFDS South Eastern Section used as it administered more than 31,000 doses of vaccination

COVID-19 testing clinics and vaccination hubs will operate across the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) over the Christmas and New Year period. WNSWLHD Acting Chief Executive Mark Spittal said while there will be some closures on public holidays, there will still be opportunities for vaccination and testing over the holidays. “Our Covid-19 vaccination hubs in Orange, Bathurst and Dubbo will be closed from December 24 to December 28, and from December 31 to January 3,” Mr Spittal said. “Those hubs will also operate with reduced hours on December 29-30 and from January 4 to January 7. “During those periods, they will be open from 10am to 2pm. Before and after those dates, they will be open as normal.” Residents are encouraged to book appointments ahead of time as the vaccination hubs will not accept walk-ins. Mr Spittal said most of the district’s drive-through testing clinics, which are operated by private pathology services such as Laverty, Histopath and Barratt & Smith, will be closed on at least Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. “That includes drive-through testing clinics in Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo and Forbes,” he said. “Some clinics will have more extended closures and some will also operate under reduced hours on other days.”

right across the state. Ms Hassan said the team had been working around the clock since August to deliver Covid clinics, with those tasked with administering the vaccinations opening seemingly countless of the little vials. “It became all-consuming for several months so it seemed ideal to finish what has been such an unusual year with such an unusual tree,” Ms Hassan said. “Covid has had such an impact on everyone’s lives this year, why not celebrate the vaccine that has made it possible for us to get together with our families this Christmas by making the tree out of it?” The team at Dubbo Photo News takes this opportunity to thank the RFDS South Eastern Section team, and the hard-working Dubbo Support Group that does so much to raise all-important funds and awareness, for all their dedication and service during a difficult year. It’s beginning to look a lot like... Covid Christmas? The RFDS Dubbo base team certainly has a creative streak with this bit of festive fun after a challenging year.

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.

Farmer wants a feed REGULAR Dubbo Photo News photographer Steve Cowley just happened to be driving past on Warrie Road one evening last week as a dusty Phil Dowling climbed down out of the header cab to meet his wife who was delivering dinner. While he tucked in, Phil was happy to have a yarn to Steve about the harvest, the season and the approaching storm – and there was a nice synergy to the picture of a farmer having a quick feed while taking a break from working to help feed the nation. Thanks Phil – and thanks to all the region’s (and Australia’s) farmers. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

YOUR STARS ARIES: It would be wise to steer clear of family conﬂicts, especially if they don’t concern you. However, you might be able to save the day helping two relatives bury the hatchet. TAURUS: You won’t be able to sit back and relax at parties. You’ll be on your feet serving or otherwise helping out. When it comes to matters of the heart, the magic of the holidays will reignite passion in your relationship. GEMINI: You’ll ﬁnd yourself the focus of everyone’s attention. You can make people laugh with your sarcasm. You might even get a round of applause from time to time, which will give you an ego boost. CANCER: You’ll spend the week with your family. You’ll enjoy lots of quality time with your children or elderly parents. You’ll also have the opportunity to recharge your batteries. Some time alone at home will

spark your imagination. LEO: You’ll be outspoken and assertive, which will help make things run smoothly. You’re always right, even if you’re not always tactful. The important thing is to get results. VIRGO: The parties you host are sure to be spectacular despite your limited budget. Your ideas and determination are remarkable. You’ll also receive a lot of affection from your partner. LIBRA: You’ll be surprised by how many initiatives you put forward. People will follow you without question, even when you’re acting on impulse. You’ll organise a unique event at the last minute. SCORPIO: For some people, now is a good time for recollection. You’ll spend some time reﬂecting on the good and the bad. By taking stock, you’ll ﬁnd that you have a particular openness to some form of spirituality.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll pull off quite a feat, and it’ll be remembered for a long time, especially if it involves bringing together people who don’t get along very well. If you’re single, a co-worker will take advantage of a quiet moment to get to know you. CAPRICORN: There’s lots to do. You’ll organise a marvellous event for the whole family, and it’ll be a success. Be careful, and make sure the end of the year doesn’t catch you off guard just because you didn’t prepare enough. AQUARIUS: You’ll buy lottery tickets as a family, and it wouldn’t be surprising if you could afford to end the Christmas holidays with a trip. At the very least, you’ll have a lot of fun and spoil your loved ones. PISCES: A family secret will be revealed to you. You’re a sensitive soul, and you’ll deliver a moving speech. An emergency at the office may require your attention while you’re in the middle of a celebration. The luckiest signs this week: Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius.

Pipe dream: New life for old waterworks YOU might have seen the new traffic lights and the brand-new road surface at the intersection of Fitzroy and Cobra Streets, but what you won’t necessarily see is all the work that’s been done under the surface – literally. The major transport network upgrade also meant a whole lot of ageing infrastructure needed to be overhauled before the work on the intersection could begin. Because the intersection is located in an older area of the city, Dubbo Regional Council says much of the infrastructure

beneath the pavement for the intersection was itself in dire need of an upgrade, which had to be done prior to the construction of the new lights. There’s an extensive stormwater pipe network underneath the intersection, the original infrastructure having been built in the 1930s. Council inspected the pipes with a robotic camera and found the network “reaching the end of life” and needing upgrading. The existing pipe network was replaced with a “ring sys-

tem encircling the new intersection” including the installation of new fire hydrants and stopvalves on the footpaths to allow easy access for maintenance.

A large trunk water main was also replaced, ensuring the security of water for residential areas as far away as Harefield Road.

Altogether, some 400m of ageing water mains were replaced, and council hopes the new network will see out at least another 100 years of service to the Dubbo community.

HO HO HO ! Brekkie with the big man

IT might be the busiest week of all on the North Pole’s calendar, but Santa was only too happy to take a few hours off to fly Down Under to Dubbo for the morning to meet with some very special little admirers. As winners of Dubbo Photo News’ “Breakfast with Santa” competition, 12 lucky local fans were invited to meet the jolly old fellow at The Christmas Shop in Fitzroy Street last weekend, as guests of owners Carmel and Phil Powyer. The welcome Santa received was as warm as the morning, and he chatted with all the children about their Christmas wishes, having brought their letters with him from the North Pole. One very special guest was 62-yearold Cheryl Young, whose carer brought her down to meet Santa and she could barely contain her excitement while she waited patiently for the big man to arrive. She was rewarded with a big hug from the man himself.

Santa enjoyed breakfast with everyone, and was very happy to see pancakes and maple syrup on the menu because he says Mrs Claus doesn’t often let him have them. He asked us to tell all the children of Dubbo and Wellington and Narromine and all the other little towns and farms and villages, that he’s made his list, he’s checked it twice, he knows who’s been naughty and who’s been nice – and he’s pleased to say almost everyone has made the “nice” list this year. He also wanted to let everyone know that special permission has been given for he and his reindeer to fly into Australian airspace on Christmas Eve and he doesn’t have to quarantine, but he'll be washing and sanitising his hands a lot as he goes from house to house. “Merry Christmas to all,” said Santa as he sped off back to the North Pole to make sure he and Mrs Claus and all the elves have everything ready for the big day.

These special cupcakes didn’t last long!

Phil and Carmel Powyer from The Christmas Shop took a quick break to chat with Santa while they were preparing a feast of breakfast goodies for all the children.

YOUNG Aarien Briggs touched Santa's heart – and the hearts of all the adults as well – with her thoughtful and special letter. Santa said he was very moved by Aarien's kindness in thinking of others at this time of year, and that her beautiful letter brought a little tear of joy to his eye. "To see such thoughtfulness in one so young is a reflection of a kind heart, and Aarien's family should be very proud of her," said the jolly old man in the red suit. Here is Aarien's message to Santa Claus:

To Santa Claus I thought I should make you a card because you don't get presents, you give them! I just wanted to say to you... Thank you for giving presents to each child every year and spreading joy and happiness to each and every child on earth. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas delivering toys and spreading cheer. Say hello to all your friends back in the North Pole for me – Mrs Claus, the elves, the reindeer and whatever else is there. Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho! From Aarien

New Year’s ﬁreworks back with a bang By MACKENA DENNIS THE spectacle of Dubbo’s New Year’s Eve fireworks will return in all its glory this year, with the Dubbo Show Society and the Fletcher family again hosting the event at the showground to see out the year that was 2021. The festivities will begin at 4pm with entry at the grandstand gates, the showground will be host to all sorts of family fun and entertainment, including a water skirmish for the little and big kids alike, carnival amusements spread throughout the venue, twilight markets to pick up your new year’s celebratory merch and goodies for the whole crew, along with food stalls for everybody’s flavour palate. Chairs or picnic rugs are advised for seating during the night, as members of the public are urged to remain socially distant during the course of the event for everyone’s safety. Masks are not required outdoors, but do keep one handy for any areas of high congregation and places where you cannot be socially distant. Tickets are available from 123TIX for $2 per person, with online purchase essential for entry. Please note that BYO and glass are not permitted through the gates. Dubbo Photo News would like to remind the commu-

nity to make sure their dogs are kept safe during the fireworks, as our furry friends can get easily spooked by the loud noises. Taking precautionary measures to keep your dogs comfortable can

be as simple as making sure the fences and gates are shut and secure, tiring them out beforehand by taking them for exercise, placing them in a safe space, such as a dark room inside your house, and

making sure their microchip details and your contact details are up to date, in case they do manage to escape, to ensure they can safely get back home.

Millions’ worth of merry for one lucky winner By MACKENA DENNIS CHRISTMAS has come early for one mystery Dubbo local after buying a lottery ticket worth $2.9 million dollars drawn on Saturday, December 18. The ticket was bought from the newsagency at Orana Mall, the player being only one of two people in the country to take out Division 1. Owner of News at the Mall Greg Stevenson said the win came as a great surprise to both him and his members of staff on Saturday morning, with the news spreading quickly around the city. “Some staff members who weren’t even working came in because of the excitement, thinking they may have sold the winning ticket, “And what a time to do it, with only a week until Christmas. Our regulars started coming in want-

Deluge dampens Christmas cheer for croppers DESPITE hopes of a record-breaking season after years of devastating drought, recent deluges across the region have drowned that optimism for many cropping farmers. Significant late-spring rain and subsequent flooding have done widespread irreversible damage to many crops that had previously been on target to bring home the best yield in years, with the devastation particularly pronounced in our central and northern regions. Rabobank’s latest quarterly Rural Confidence Survey, released this week, found that just a few weeks ago, farmer confidence across the state was some of the strongest in the nation, with 88 per cent of NSW farmers predicting excellent business conditions would either continue or improve over the year ahead. As a result, there will be a major downward revision of the previously-high gross farm incomes projections forecast only a few weeks ago. Fortunately, production losses have not been as significant for livestock producers, and there is still firm confidence in those sectors, particularly among dairy and beef producers according to the survey.

Disaster allowance for region's communities FEDERAL Member for Parkes Mark Coulton says the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) is available to support people whose income has been affected by the severe weather in the Bourke, Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Cobar, Coonamble, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gunnedah, Gwydir, Lachlan, Moree Plains, Narrabri, Narromine, Walgett, Warren and Warrumbungle Local Government Areas. “I know this support will be a great relief for so many people across my electorate who have been seriously impacted by the recent widespread flooding and storm damage,” Mr Coulton said. “The Disaster Recovery Allowance provides a short-term income support payment to assist individuals whose income has been affected because of this disastrous event. “The Allowance is available for up to 13 weeks, equivalent to the maximum rate of the Jobseeker Payment or Youth Allowance.” For further information call 180 22 66 from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

major prizes, which includes a $1 million Wednesday Lotto prize in August 2019 and a $1,428,571.43 Saturday Lotto win for Mother’s Day in May 2018. However, the winning ticket was bought unregistered from the

business, leaving The Lott with no way to contact the lucky winner to break the news, so if you happened to buy a Saturday Lotto ticket with a draw date of 4217 from News at the Mall, you’d better get in quickly!

The ticket remained unclaimed as of Monday December 20, which still leaves you a chance at becoming the region’s next millionaire, and with Christmas coming up soon, it’s destined to fill these holidays with just that little bit more joy.

COMMUNITY LIFE

Caring for people never gets old

Kintyre Living’s Danielle Chapman says her job is not for the faint-hearted, but the big-hearted. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

By JEN COWLEY AS Customer Liaison manager at Dubbo retirement community Kintyre Living, Danielle Chapman’s role is as important for residents and the community as it is for the organisation itself. It’s not just a corporate gig. For Danielle, it’s about caring. “I’m the first point of contact for all new enquiries, whether that’s for the aged care facility or the retirement living for over 55s. I provide all the initial information, linking people into (the government site) My Aged Care if they haven’t already accessed it – I guess I’m a provider and facilita-

tor of information about what we can offer, what the lifestyle is and the opportunities that exist.” In short, Danielle is there to make sure the transition to retirement living, or to aged care, is as smooth and happy and stress-free as it can be. “That’s essentially what it’s all about. It’s about letting them know what we can offer, but if that means helping out with other things, like ‘How do I downsize my house?’ or ‘Where do I find a real estate agent?’ and things like that, we will happily help out with that. “If it means facilitating dealings with local organisations and agen-

cies and services that are part of that transition process, we’re here to help with that.” As a long-time public servant of more than 20 years, Danielle was prompted by personal experience to step out of that comfort zone and into the field of aged care. “I knew of the brand because of my own dealings with the Tulich family through my own grandmother being in a residential aged care facility, so I had a sense of confidence in what they stand for. “It’s in my nature to help people, and I saw an opportunity here to do that – to support people to get the best outcome they can get.” Humanity is a massive part of

the job, says Danielle, who explains that it’s not just about getting people to sign on the dotted line for a place in the Kintyre community, it’s also about knowing which services are out there to help support people in what can often be the biggest decision of their lives. “With my long history in the service sector and with various agencies, I know the different services and supports that are out there and I can help people navigate the really complex system which can be financially, emotionally and socially very difficult.” The best part of her job, Danielle says, is meeting so many

new people. “I love hearing the residents’ stories and learning about their lives and their backgrounds, and I also love watching people be happy and live their best lives in retirement. “This is such a rewarding job, but it takes a lot of empathy and patience. “You also need to understand that you can have all the qualifications and bits of paper in the world, but that won’t make up for it if you don’t have the right people skills, problem solving skills, empathy and humanity. “It’s not a job for the faint-hearted, but it is a job for the big-hearted.”

Love of people and plants helps this gardener grow By JEN COWLEY THERE’S one thing Karyl-Lee Callaghan doesn’t like about owning a thriving nursery business: she rarely gets enough time to spend pottering in her own garden. The avid green-thumb rebuilt Dubbo’s Magnolia Nursery and Little Garden Shop nine years ago, but she’s been in the trade for more than 25 years. Not surprisingly, longevity in this industry depends on a love of gardening and plants but much of the vast wealth of knowledge Karyl-Lee has amassed has come from practical learning on the job to build on a foundation of theory. “You can have all the certificates and degrees and so forth, but a lot of it comes from picking things up while working in your own garden, and being ‘on the ground’ in the nursery on a day-to-day basis,” she says. With Christmas fast approaching, Magnolia Nursery is stocked to the gunwales and looking as pretty as a picture with lots of perennials, but with so many years’ experience under her belt, Karyl-Lee is used to seeing gardening

trends come and go. “Tastes do change – there was a time when the only plants people asked for were Japanese Box and white iceberg standards (roses), or the years when red cordylines and white gravel were all the rage,” she explains, adding that her personal favourite remains the perennials. “I love them, they’re great for our climate, and you can build a beautiful big impressive garden with perennials and roses and lavenders.” With ours being usually quite dry region, Karyl-Lee has had to hone her skills in drought-tolerant and water-wise gardens and plant varieties in order to appropriately advise her customers. “Oh, most definitely! Living and working in areas much further west than here for many years gave me an understanding of drought proof and tolerant gardens and plants. When the last drought broke, I did a bit of a tally of how many of the 25 years I’ve been in nurseries have been during drought – it was 16 years. “So through those 16 years, I certainly learned a lot about what plants survive and how to grow

things in a harsh climate.” This is a job that is so much more than the simple selling of plants and garden bits and pieces. People come to Karyl-Lee for advice on their own gardens – from novices through to the most experienced, her customers look to the seasoned professional for guidance. “I love to help people – I don’t like to see them killing all their plants,” she says, laughing at the suggestion that it’s actually in her interest for people to have to replace their failures. “In theory, that’s true! But I’d much rather see them thriving and enjoying their gardens. You don’t enjoy gardening if things are dying.” Being in the nursery industry can be a satisfying career choice, says Karyl-Lee, who has a degree in horticulture. “I worked in a big horticultural operation while I was studying, and it’s that ‘on the ground’ experience that really helped – that’s where I would suggest people start if they’re interested in pursuing a career in nurseries and gardening. “Get some work experience, and

Magnolia Nursery’s Karyl-Lee Callaghan is looking forward to people being able to get back to relaxing in their gardens after “a couple of really challenging years”. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

then perhaps some part time studies – there are all levels of horticulture, and there are different things you can specialise in. For instance, there’s the landscaping side of things, or at the moment there’s a great deal of interest in indoor plants, so there are all kinds of things you can do.”

For Karyl-Lee, the best part of the job, by far, is helping people with their gardens. “It’s been interesting for the past few years with drought and Covid, it’s been a bit of a challenge. But if we can all get back to relaxing in our gardens, that would be lovely.”

STRANGE... BUT TRUE

This amazing feat would leave you feeling utterly board In 2020, George Hood, a 62-year-old former military officer, set the world record for the longest abdominal plank, holding the position for 8 hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds.

IF there’s one thing a lockdown can’t hold back, it’s raw talent. These ladies pictured are gifted members of the Dubbo Sewcialites club who coordinated themselves by remote, during lockdown, to contribute sections toward a oneoff masterpiece quilt. Designed by Sewcialite member Sue Bailey in what’s called the Dresden Plate pattern, the intention was to create an item for the Royal Flying Doctors Dubbo

RFD Dubbo Support Group volunteers, Annabel Peet and Pauline McAllister, pictured in their signature red and white striped support group shirts, were on hand earlier this month to receive the generous gift at the Kintyre Living club house where the Sewcialites regularly meet. Mrs McAllister told Dubbo Photo News the quilt will possibly be raffled, and monies raised go towards supporting the Dubbo Fly-

ing Doctor Base. The Sewcialites make a quilt every year for charity as a joint effort and have previously donated their meticulously crafted goods to Dubbo Hospital, Macquarie Homestay and in aid of fighting Domestic Violence. The Sewcialites meet once a week every Wednesday from 9am to 2.30pm at Kintyre Living club house but is not exclusive to Kintyre residents; all are welcome. Much of the work produced by members involve techniques such

as quilting, embroidery, Foundation paper piecing, English paper piecing, applique, and more. The Dubbo Support Group raises and collects funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, South Eastern Section, and was instrumental in raising the capital cost of the RFDS Dubbo Visitor Experience. They are always on the lookout for new members, meeting at 6pm on the first Monday of every month. Contact Pauline McAllister for details on 0428848224.

Dubbo athletes to beneﬁt as new riverside sporting precinct opens By STEPH ALLEN DUBBO athletes will now have access to a wide range of sporting facilities following the official opening of the Riverside Ovals and Amenities’ new ovals. Dubbo Regional Council CEO Murray Wood and local member Dugald Saunders opened the new Riverside precinct with a coin toss at the NSW Cricket Boys Youth Championships on December 20. The six hectares of playing fields were co-funded by council and Round Two of the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund. The new precinct features the installation of irrigation and lawn surface, a large canteen, a separate umpires’ room and bathroom, two change rooms, six public toilets, undercover shelter area, inbuilt barbecue, 26 car parks, turf cricket field, a synthetic cricket field, four senior soccer fields, and 10 touch football fields. The project engaged local companies for the construction of the playing

fields and the irrigation and lawn, and companies and sub-contractors for the design and construction of the amenities building. “This project not only adds to Dubbo’s standing

as a premier location for sporting tourism, it also provided a much-needed boost to local businesses hit hard during the drought,” Mr Saunders said. “With heavy rainfall in

recent months the drought seems long behind us, but these fields will stand as a legacy of what can be achieved when state and local governments work hand-in-hand to achieve terrific outcomes for the

community. “I can’t wait to see these fields getting put to good use, boosting our ability to attract large sports carnivals like this one, and the enormous economic benefits that come with them.”

DUBBO STUDENTS’ HEROIC CHARITY PROJECT FOR SICK KIDS By STEPH ALLEN

Dubbo College South Campus students have helped seriously ill children feel like superheroes through a project with Capes4Kids Australia. Earlier this year, teacher Dianne Vaessen sourced the project for her year seven class, with a goal of helping to brighten the lives of sick children at Dubbo Base Hospital. Dubbo local and Capes4Kids co-founder Heather Rogers was thrilled to bring the students on board. “These capes will bring smiles and strength to children who are facing serious health challenges, upcoming surgeries, treatments or procedures,” Mrs Rogers said. The students began mak-

ing 23 capes at the start of Term Two, with lockdown interruptions causing a slight delay until face-to-face schooling resumed. The students have knuckled down to have the capes completed before Christmas, and were able to hand them over to Mrs Rogers to deliver to the Children’s Ward on behalf of the class. “The capes make the children feel like superheroes, they feel brave,” Mrs Rogers said. “We have witnessed many times the beneﬁt of these capes, they help the children get through some difficult situations.” The Capes4Kids charity has delivered over 50,000 superhero capes to children in hospitals across Australia since its inception in 2014.

Quick result as teens charged over stolen car

THREE teenage boys have been charged after a vehicle was allegedly stolen during a break and enter at Bourke early yesterday morning. Police said that at about 2.15am on Tuesday, December 21, a group of youths allegedly forced entry to a home at Short Street, Bourke, before stealing vehicle keys and personal items. “The youths then allegedly stole a yellow Hyundai Accent from the front yard, before driving through the Bourke area at speed,” a police statement said. “Officers attached to Central North Police District were notified and commenced inquiries into the incident. “About 5.15am, the vehicle was located by police on fire at Cullie Street. “A short time later, three boys – all aged 15 – were arrested nearby at Wortumurtie Street and taken to Bourke Police Station. “As part of ongoing inquiries, officers executed a search warrant at a home at Bourke, seizing cannabis and other items relevant to the investigation,” police said.

Appeal after break and enter at Dubbo home

POLICE are appealing for information after a man was injured during an aggravated break and enter to a home on Bourke Street yesterday. Police say that at about 2am yesterday (Wednesday, December 22), emergency services were called to a home on Bourke Street in Dubbo following reports of an aggravated break and enter. “On arrival, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were told two men had entered the home, before they were confronted by the occupant – a 40-year-old man – and a struggle ensued,” the police statement said. “During the struggle, the occupant sustained a stab wound and other minor injuries before being knocked unconscious. “He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before he was taken to hospital as a precaution. “A crime scene was established, and detectives commenced an investigation,” police said. Police are urging anyone who may have information or saw anything unusual in the area around the time of the incident to come forward. Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.

State’s stars plan to bring Aussie Day spirit to regional NSW By STEPH ALLEN OVER 100 high achieving Australians, including a celebrity chef and a former NSW Australian of the Year, will participate in Australia Day 2022 activities around the state. Celebrity chef Lyndey Milan OAM and Leader of ‘Deadly Science’ Corey Tutt will join other remarkable Australians who will head to all corners of the state to share stories, volunteer and contribute to and participate in local festivities on January 26. A variety of events will be held, including Award and Citizenship ceremonies, barbecues, street parades,

and community competitions including Thong Throwing, Watermelon Eating and Paddy Melon Bowls championships. Ms Milan will visit her home town of Dubbo for her favourite day of the year. “This is my 19th consecutive year of being an ambassador and it is my opportunity to give back to the nation that has given me so much,” she said. “For me, it is a time to connect with and support our regions. I work in food and wine, and I truly appreciate the many producers and farmers who create the raw ingredients I cook with.

“They face so many climactic hardships (drought, floods, fires, mouse plagues) and yet continue. So nowhere do I feel closer to the land than in regional areas.” Ms Milan said she always requests to visit the regions on Australia Day. “I am able to share my experiences, but in turn, I learn about each area I go to and so truly become an ambassador for that region,” she said. “All Australians have had a particularly difficult year this year, so what a wonderful chance for communities to come together, celebrate their local heroes, share a sausage sandwich and a song.”

Fans funding for PCYC cool kids By STEPH ALLEN WHILE the summer weather continues to heat up the central west, keeping fit and engaged in outdoor activities at Wellington PCYC has been made easier with a cool $13,640 state government injection. Wellington PCYC was awarded the funding through the NSW government’s Community Building Partnerships program, which is used to invest in infrastructure projects that provide “positive social, environmental, and recreational outcomes” while fostering “community participation, inclusion and cohesion”. Wellington PCYC manager Sonya Rath said the cash injection would go towards purchasing two large freestanding, portable fans to help kids beat the heat after school. “They’re meant to be movable so they can be used for indoors and outdoors,” Ms Rath said. “It will be perfect for summer.

Ms Rath said the installation of the air-conditioning was recently completed. “It gets hot here, but it’s one of the only real options for kids to go to, so these fans will be invaluable that’s for sure,” she said. “We always appreciate the support we’ve been given by the government, it’s amazing. “It just makes our lives easier, and we can give back to the kids that come here.” Wellington PCYC’s Summer School Holiday program will commence on December 24 and run until January 4. Members will have access to multi-sports, arts and crafts, soccer skills, dancing, and karate. A free community barbecue will be held for the public, including non-members, on January 14 from 4-7pm.

Education program aims to bring change By BROOKE JACOBSON

CONNECTING through culture in a bid to help children stay in school and avoid making bad choices in life is all in a day’s work for proud Wiradjuri man, Jeff Amatto. The founder of organisation More Cultural Rehab Less Jails, Jeff will be running a year-long education program through Wellington Public School in 2022. Speaking to the Dubbo Photo News, Jeff said cultural rehab had been part of his own personal journey. “I’m very privileged to now be 12 years clean and sober,” he said. “I was introduced to cultural

based rehab on the Central Coast, as that particular support and service was not available in Wellington at that time. “It was a new beginning for me and I’m very happy to be heading back into my own community at Wellington to make a difference there.” Jeff has travelled across Australia spreading the message and sharing his story with others. “I’ve been talking to magistrates, delivering workshops and presentations, I’ve been in jails telling my story,” he said. “It’s important to me to be advocating for change, and that we do need more cultural rehab and

less jails. “Australia is a pretty wealthy country, we could be doing a lot better for people – not just Indigenous people, but all people.” Jeff added the education program would focus on students in Years 5 and 6, and said it was never too early to start talking about serious issues like drug and alcohol addiction. “We need to stop sugar coating this – kids as young as Years 5 and 6 are experimenting and it’s important to get in there and talk about this before they get older,” he said. “And we won’t just be talking about addiction, we’ll be talking

about general health and fitness, issues like peer pressure and bullying and how getting an education is so important. “The program is for Indigenous and non-Indigenous kids. “Early intervention is the key – it’s easier to mentor a cracked child, than a broken adult.” Jeff will also be engaging with and supporting parents, and he will be hosting a regular space at the WINS community centre. “The school program will be run every second week, for most of the year,” he said. “The other weeks, I will be at WINS with my own space, and I’ll be there for anyone in the commu-

nity who wants to reach out and get help. “I know that asking for help can be the hardest step and for some of our people, Indigenous people, the literacy side of things can also be very hard – it’s nothing for me to get on the internet now and fill in applications or do internet banking, but if you’ve not had that as part of your lifestyle, it’s tricky. “That’s why education and staying in school is so important and I’m very grateful to WINS and to the school, for helping me be a voice for those who don’t have one.”

“We don’t teach – we live our culture” Preschool’s strong family spirit By STEPH ALLEN COMMUNITY, culture and connection are just some of the hallmarks of Wellington’s Nanima Preschool. The centre is not only dedicated to upskilling staff and educators, but also providing a service that not only develops cultural identity but lives it. Nanima preschool director Deanne Towney said the preschool’s staff had great connections with the families. “From enrolment, we push that we have open honesty and communication, so we can work with the families,” Ms Towney said. “We have family involvement and a committee (run by parents) which plays a major role in how we run the school. “We have community books where families can communicate what they like and what their needs are.” Nanima Preschool chairperson and Wellington Aboriginal Action Panel member Keiyana Guihot said it was important for the children to feel connection and have a sense of identity at a young age. “They feel they can belong and they can blossom from there,” she said. “We teach all different cultures

through our service. We don’t teach, we live our culture. “We’re all Aboriginal staff. We’re all aunties and uncles and extended family. “We’re the type of service that gives the kids a cuddle and lives the cultural way, looking after kids and families. That’s our lifestyle.” From teachers to kitchen staff, the preschool’s employees are regularly upskilled and trained to work as educators. “We definitely meet our KPIs that we need because we’re partly funded by the NIAA (National Indigenous Australians Agency) and we reach those targets each year,” Ms Guihot said. “We’re currently exceeding national standards in all areas.” The preschool also receives funding through NSW government’s Start Strong program. Nanima Preschool held its end of year graduation at the Wellington RSL this week, with students receiving a full uniform voucher for kindergarten from Aboriginal Affairs. The children performed two dances for the parents after a Welcome to Country, received certificates, and finished off the night with a disco.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

Why Australians are lonelier than ever this Christmas By STEPH ALLEN NEARLY two years of lockdowns, pandemic panic and isolation has weighed heavily on Australians, with recent studies finding young people in particular are struggling with loneliness during the Christmas period. According to a study by Australian Red Cross, one in three people feel lonely during the festive season, a significant increase from last year. The annual survey of 1000 people found younger people within the 18–29-year age bracket felt more alone, and more women (40 per cent) said they felt lonely compared with men (26 per cent). One in three people said they were less excited for the festive season compared with previous years, and 61 per cent of people were concerned about vulnerable loved ones being lonely due to travel restrictions. National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG) CEO Debbie Todkill said the nation-wide service helps people dealing with various kinds of loss and grief – including death, significant change, divorce, empty nesting, accidents, or moving. While loneliness has always been a nation-wide issue, there was a 53 per cent increase in demand for NALAG services over the past 12 months according to Ms Todkill. “Covid-19 really impacted people. There’s a lot of loneliness because we’ve been isolated and many still can’t see family,” she said. “The borders and world are slowly opening up, but I’ve been keeping an eye on social media and people are struggling – some are rethinking going over

the border. “I filtered down the number of calls from men...particularly (about) young couples who were struggling prior and then went into lockdown together (and things got worse). Things like that really impacted people.” Another group of people struggling with loneliness is the elderly – who may be forgotten by family or may not be IT savvy and able to connect online. “(Others struggling this Christmas) are people who might have lost a partner or a loved one,” Ms Todkill said. “For some it’s hard because it’s

a whole different world they don’t know.” Red Cross Director of Volunteering Penny Harrison said younger people are worried about possible border closures keeping them from family and friends. “While the survey offers a sobering look at how Australians are feeling heading into what will be their second Covid-19 festive period, it was heart-warming that three quarters of people surveyed believe we need to look after more vulnerable people at this time of year.” NALAG senior counsellor Cathy Banks provided tips for those

struggling with loneliness this Christmas: 1. Take it Slowly: Start by going to a park or outdoor café – somewhere you can be around people but not talk to them. 2. Make new connections: Join a class or group based on your hobbies or interests. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, for instance a community kitchen or Christmas lunch for the homeless. 3. Try peer support: Online forums and community groups are places of interest and connection to use your experience to help and support others. 4. Open up to others: Talking to

friends and family can help. Issue invitations, accept invitations. 5. Avoid comparing yourself to others: Things are not always how they seem on the outside. For example, social media presents a glossy happy façade. It often helps to take a break from social media if it is building resentment or loneliness. 6. Be mindful of self-care: Consider if changes are necessary to improve sleep, diet, activity levels. Spend time outside, engage in nature, be around animals. Avoid drugs, alcohol or overeating as coping mechanisms.

MENTAL HEALTH

NEWS EXTRA Need help? Reach out to these services over the holidays:

Coping at Christmas By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY AS many people know, Christmas ain’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be. The commercial and aspirational ideal of Christmas peddles joyous families swapping abundant and expensive gifts, surrounded by gilded decorations and festive feasts as the ideal, when the illusion of boundless joy just feelings of loss, inadequacy and isolation for anyone grieving, in hardship or lonely. For many, Christmas simply sucks. Fortunately, there are numerous local services to support children, young people and adults navigate what can be a very confronting time. Compassionate, understanding and non-judgemental to the last, these services can easily be seen as evoking a genuine Christmas spirit, giving the gift of their time, their expertise, or a shoulder to lean on, which is perhaps the one thing you really need at this time of year. They want to help and ask you to call on them if Christmas gets you down.

INTERRELATE INTERRELATE’S Christmas survival guide for separated and blended families For families who find themselves separated over the Christmas period, it can be an extremely frustrating and stressful time. Whether spending the holidays alone or apart, this period can increase stress and conflict as we navigate the celebrations and spend time with children and loved ones. The pressure of spending quality time together, buying gifts, and seeing family can take its toll on parents, especially after the year we have all been through. Our Guide to Surviving Christmas has practical tips for a conflict free festive season. As providers of family and relationship services, Interrelate is no stranger to the conflict that can result from heightened

expectations and communication breakdowns. This is why we have created the survival guide for parents and families to help them through the holidays so they can enjoy a stress-free Christmas. “My advice to families would be to focus on the positives. Everything may not go to plan, and the topic of COVID-19 is likely to come up in conversations. Focusing on what we have, and what we can control in this situation will go a long way in creating a fun and positive atmosphere,” Interrelate Central and Far West regional manager Ian Thwaites said. If you’re experiencing your first Christmas apart, or adjusting to a “new normal”, give yourself a helping hand this year and let our Guide to Surviving Christmas show you a simpler way. Find the guide online at bit.ly/ guide2survivingchristmas. Read more about how Interrelate’s services can support your family at www.interrelate.org.au

MISSION AUSTRALIA THE holidays can be a tricky time for people, especially if they have a history of mental health concerns. There might be some challenges to spending time with family or often people can feel isolated at this time of year. Over the holiday period we can make it our personal priority to stop, listen and have meaningful conversations with each other; take some time to look after ourselves and recharge. We should look out for young people, who have been significantly affected by mental health concerns during what has been a tough year. Christmas can be a good time to reach out to a neighbour or a friend, make some plans for over the holiday period, see a movie, catch up for a cup of tea or go for a walk. If you need to talk, remember you can always reach out through the Mental Health Line (1800 011 511) or the Kids Helpline (1800 55 511).

Christmas tips for separated or blended families

NALAG YEARNING, sadness, anger, and anxiety are some of the emotions those who face Christmas without loved ones can expect to feel as expressions of their grief. Christmas invites ‘enforced joyousness’ but this can add even more stress and heartache to the person grieving. Memories of Christmas past can still be sweet but the reality of the empty chair at the Christmas lunch, or not having the person who used to make this time of year special can be painful, says NALAG president Julie Dunsmore AM. “Being gentle with yourself, trying not to expect too much of yourself or those around you makes good sense, but often needs planning. The holiday season is traditionally seen as a time to spend with family and close friends. This can highlight the fact that a special person is not there. “It is not difficult to understand why insensitivity in dealing with a grieving person is so common around this time,” Mrs Dunsmore said.

BUNNINYONG SCHOOL AS COMMUNITY CENTRE THE Buninyong School as Community Centre works to support families with children in the preschool years.

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

We offer playgroups, parent education and support to all families living in the Dubbo area. While we are shut down between December 23 to January 4, we will be back on deck with a weekly playgroup in the centre on Wednesdays as well as being a part of the bigger Family Fun Days which are scheduled for 12th (Lunar Park in East) and 19th (Elston Park), January 10-12. “Even Superheroes Need A Mental Health Day Sometimes” is an initiative of the Buninyong SaCC along with several other early childhood support services and we have our Facebook page which is full of articles and ideas to support young children achieve and maintain good mental health. Christmas especially can be a very stressful time for many families and don’t forget that your young children are highly susceptible to adult mood changes. As this crazy season gets into full swing please remember to try to slow down a little. Children need stability and the love of a genuinely engaged caring family, however that may look. Your presence is far more important than those presents. If you need any more help during the holidays, visit our Facebook page (Buninyong Public SchoolNSW DoE SaCC) or reach out to the helplines listed with this article.

1. Allow kids to feel free to have fun without having to worry about adult issues or conﬂicts. 2. Try to make peace with your past, so it doesn’t mess up the present situation. Appreciate that now is not always the best time to sort out longstanding grievances. 3. Create new traditions that suit you and your changed family. 4. Tell the kids, “I am looking forward to seeing you” rather than “I miss you so much”. 5. Remember that parents who are cooperative in making joint arrangements for their children, take the burden off the children. If necessary, stagger the celebrations so children can spend time with both parents. - Interrelate, Guide to Surviving Christmas

Tips for managing family expectations

1. Let family know what you can do and what your limitations are, as overstretching yourself and family can create conﬂict. 2. It is important to keep perspective and acknowledge that Christmas can be a difficult time. Don’t expect to have it all together and that it will be perfect. Remember that having fun is better than perfection. 3. Expect to be surprised by strange habits and the funny ways of other people rather than being shocked by them. A sense of humour can be a coping mechanism. 4. Even if you don’t want to be there, make an effort to enjoy the day. Christmas only comes once a year. 5. When invited to a Christmas gathering, ﬁnd out if you can bring a plate of food to help the host. - Interrelate, Guide to Surviving Christmas, p11 bit.ly/ guide2survivingchristmas

& Thumbs Up to all the wonderful staff at Dubbo Base Hospital and

especially the skilled and helpful staff in EMU and cardio wards – thank you for exceptional care.

Thumbs Up to Karen at Service NSW Dubbo branch. In these times of Covid-19 and unavoidable delays, thank you for your fantastic service.

Thumbs Up to the beautiful ladies at Macquarie Regional Library – Suzie, Erin and Janelle, for helping me after my phone updated and stopped working. I am most grateful.

Thumbs Up to the two hard working girls at the Dubbo Grove Post Office Leanne and Janelle. Thank you again Leanne for doing up a parcel for me without any problem at all. Very much appreciated.

Thumbs Down to the concierge at a large variety store in Dubbo for the way in which an elderly gentleman was treated when he was asking for directions. The gentleman was very polite and did not deserve to be embarrassed in front of other shoppers by the extremely rude staff member.

The Balgowlah, Connells Point, Hinchinbrook, Hunters Hill, Mascot, Orana and Ulladulla physical culture clubs were all commended for bringing positive vibes and wonderful sportsmanship to this event. Considerable commitment and practice paid off for sisters Polly and Stella Hubbard who each achieved a third placing against strong competition evident on the floor.

Contributed by BELINDA EDMONDSON HANDMADE in the Bush is a group of six ladies who have come together to open a pop-up shop to sell people's wares and homemade crafts. It is a not-for-profit outfit, meaning no one person is profiting from the shop itself. There is a commission of 20 per

cent for those who wish to sell their craft there, and the ladies have decided that after costs are taken out they would like to donate the proceeds to a local community group, so the monies stay in our local area. For their first year, they have decided to donate to Adventist Disaster and Relief Agency (ADRA), which partners with Food Bank to

deliver care and food packages to people who require assistance in the Dubbo community. There is a group of volunteers who work with ADRA to deliver these packages, usually (to families) referred from the schools in the Dubbo area. ADRA runs from the Baptist Church at the corner of Sterling and Cobra Streets. Volunteers

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

MEGA MAZE

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

SUDOKU EXTRA

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

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

Six Dubbo cyclists selected in AIS program THE Dubbo Cycle Club is again in the National spotlight with an amazing six athletes selected in the AusCycling/AIS Podium Potential and Emerging Athletes Program for 2022. Danny Barber, Kurt Eather, Haylee Fuller, Dylan Eather, Ben Anderson and Tyler Puzicha have been selected in the Australian Institute of Sport program. Australian Cycling Team interim performance director Jesse Korf congratulated the categorised athletes and explained the importance of these selections. “Effectively it's a process where we look at performances and performance trends to get an understanding of where somebody is in their journey towards the podium, and whether or not individuals have evidence for a bridgeable gap towards a future podium performance. “Danny Barber is selected in the AusCycling Podium Potential Squad which means he relocates to Adelaide in January to train and race full time with the Australian Sprint Squad. With two Australian Records under his belt for the flying 200m, he should be in great standing with the Australian National Team,” Korf said. “Kurt Eather is selected in the

Developing athletes’ program for 2022. “He has developed as a tough and formidable force in endurance events with National titles on both track endurance and road. Just recently he won the state title for the Under-23 Road race championship.” Each of the cyclists has won state medals. Haylee Fuller, Ben Anderson, Dylan, Kurt Eather and Tyler Putzicha have been selected in the emerging athletes’ program. Each has won plenty of state and National medals. Coaches Vaughn Eather and Gus Dawson commented, “The selection is the reward for all the hard work by the riders and parents in the club. “Getting six riders selected out of one club is extraordinary. However, it did not happen overnight. Athletes began their journey early. “It is a testament to each of them for their dedication and the will to succeed. Well done to the Dubbo cycling community and the wider community for supporting these young athletes." On the local scene, the Margaret Hazell Wheelrace was held on Tuesday night at the Dubbo Regional Cycling facility. Junior, Women's and Men’s events were

held during the week. Junior Wheelrace: 1st Matilda Lunney, 2nd William Tanswell, 3rd Robert Lennox, 4th Jarryd Fuller, 5th Cooper Farr. Matilda Lunney held off some incredible chasing from the middle of the field to claim a very popular win. Ladies Wheelrace: Makayla Fuller was first, Imogen Fuller second, 3rd Heather Maleham, 4th Emily Hines, 5th Erica Lunney. Makayla Fuller was in scintillating form and blasted out of the field to go clear for a fine win, with a battle to pick up the minor places being contested behind her. Men's Wheelrace: 1st Kurt Eather, 2nd Henry Bagnell, 3rd Craig Lennox, 4th Darrell Wheeler, 5th Simon Heppell. It is clear Kurt is in phenomenal form coming from 60m behind scratch to take an amazing win. Just behind Kurt with fierce determination, Henry Bagnell took a well-deserved second place. Criterium racing will be held again on Sunday starting at 8am, and on Tuesday night track racing for the season will conclude with the Golden Chain Wheelrace and Christmas Carnival to farewell 2021.

‘From the greens’ – in a festive mood

Contributed by PISTOL PETE

IT is a ‘hit’! Finally, summer has become a ‘hit’ but upon awakening last Sundy, there was a complete alteration to the weather. As one eyeballed the outside, thoughts of bowling lingered at the back of the mind. Of course, this time of year the good-ole Xmas parties take front and centre, keeping our numbers down to 26 keen and festive bowlers. Shirley Marchant (a leader) combined with Doc Livingston & Matt Quill against Ron McAuley, Peter Bennison & Gordon Scott on rink one.

One of the quiet games of the morning, Matt’s mob started early piling on five shots on End 4 and kept the lead pretty much throughout. With a lead of four shots at end 15 they felt like winners, only to watch as Gordon’s side put together their own four bowl end for a 15-all draw. Gordon’s side had the mat 9 to 7. Next door on rink 2, Leo Balstrad, Gordon Lummis & Roger Sherwin took on Beryl O’Sullivan, Gary Huggins, and Pete Ruzans. Roger and team set the pace with a four shot opening end and were never headed. Pete’s team tried everything but could not take the lead, with Roger constantly in-

structing his charges to maintain the pressure and thwart any attempts. A pretty good game, 17 shots to 12 to team Roger Moving to rink 3, Sue McAuley was joined with Gaye Cottee and Bryan O’Sullivan; Allan Stratford, Chris Strojny & Eric Satchell combined in opposition. Chris is new to Dubbo, having moved from Sydney some days prior, and so far is enjoying the change. The game was played in quite a good spirit, but Bryan kept his team from over-doing the festive chatter, ensuring they concentrated on their bowling. Eric and co scored a total of eight shots over the 16 ends, while Bryan’s mob powered to 24

and an emphatic victory. Rink 4 saw Pat Sherwin paired up with Peter Sinclair; Cheryl Storch with Nev McGuire. Nev, as a newcomer to the green, showed his talents, as he and Cheryl were strong on the first three ends. They were slowed by the five from “the double Ps” four on the next to ensure a close match, however Cheryl & Nev kept their nerve, to lead from go to whoa and claim an 18 shots to 15, 10 ends to 6 victory. Kevin Scott and Steve Kelly drew Ross Pharo and John Cole in a game that fluctuated from one to the other. Kev & Steve took the early shots only to be over-

taken by Ross & John during the mid-parts. They tried desperately to fight back but to no avail. Ross and John 14 shots to 11 with 8 ends each. Winners – Captain Bryan, second in charge Gaye Cottee and leader Sue McAuley Runners-up – Roger Sherwin, Gordon Lummis & Leo Balstrad Rester – Gordon Lummis Lucky numbers – Beryl Scott, Peter Sinclair & Nev McGuire Sundy Combo now has a two week break, recommencing January 9. From us to all, “Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year”.
