HAPPY LITTLE

VEGEMITES

THEY’RE happy little Vegemites, as bright as bright can be: On the eve of Australia Day, it put a rose in every Dubbo Photo News’ team member’s cheek to see these exuberant, innocent little Aussies enjoying a little taste of the iconic national spread in the bright sunshine of a school holiday afternoon in the park.

T This weekend, many of us will mark the day in a variety of ways – for some it’s a day of celebration and we acknowledge that for some it’s a day of mourning. For many, it’s a day to think of what unites us while also recognising the pain of a sometimes-dark history. In this week’s edition, we hear a number of different voices, and see January 26 through the

prism of different perspectives, but we hope that whatever this date means to you, you go gently and kindly and with respect for the diversity that makes us a community. Take a look at these little Vegemite-smeared faces – they’re the faces of our community’s future. Here’s to them. Thanks to their families for

lending us our cover boys and girls for this week: Vin, Solei and Wyatt Grey (9, 7 and 4); Ruby, Maggie and Annabelle Lawson (7, 5 and 2); Billy Meredith (1); Louie, George and Charlie Knight (6, 4 and 3) and Kian Rapley (5).

IPROWD of the Aboriginal community By TIJANA BIRDJAN HAVING previously been Dubbo’s Australia Day Ambassador, Peter Gibbs still reflects on the opportunity to bring communities together for the annual holiday. Through his advocacy of the need for Aboriginal people to enter the NSW police force, Peter inspires others to work towards reducing historical and cultural conflict the system embeds. The Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Delivery Program (IPROWD) provides an opportunity for Aboriginal

and/or Torres Strait Islander people to join the NSW police force and other justice and emergency services. The program was established in 2008, following the death of his sister, Fiona Gibbs, in police custody in Brewarrina in 1997. The program has enrolled close to 1000 students with hundreds more being recruited in the police force. Peter says the program is about mending and building the relationship between the NSW police and the Aboriginal community, and points to the program’s success in oth-

er jurisdictions including the Australian Federal Police. “Fundamentally this program is about recruiting students in the police force, but students gain great confidence which is an essential ingredient in their lives,” Peter says. “Our community and governments can work together which flows into helping the next generation.” The program has also enabled young students into other industries such as teaching, youth work, children care and other sectors he says, adding that it inspires people through the achievements of the stu-

dents who have taken part in the course. “Some students are now married, set up families, built their own homes, they are the role models for their brothers and sisters,” Peter says. Peter believes there is inspiration behind every corner he turns in Dubbo and that people in the community are positive role models for one another. “There is major interest in expanding nationally and internationally with countries representing their own indigenous communities,” Peter says.

Skills Board new chair joins local rep

Coona drug raid haul busts record

STUDENTS from Dubbo and across our region have a strong local advocate on the NSW Skills board which also has a new chairperson. Well known regional advocate Jillian Kilby, founder of unique Dubbo-based social impact organisation The Exchange, sits on the board along with other industry and business leaders. New chair of the board is Microsoft Australia Managing Director Steven Worrall. The NSW Skills Board is a body that provides independent advice to the state government on how to best meet the skills and training needs of industry, regions and the economy. With the current crisis facing the workforce across the state in the wake of Covid, there has never been a more critical time to focus the provision and maintenance of a skilled workforce as a priority.

The NSW Rural Fire Service was brought in to destroy the crop as part of the Strike Force Harthouse operation. PHOTO: NSW POLICE

LOCAL police were involved in a raid which seized drugs with a potential street value of $67 million on a property near Coonabarabran with six people charged in a raid in the early hours of Tuesday morning (January 18). Strike Force Harthouse was established in 2019 to investigate the cultivation and supply of cannabis across NSW and since its inception, has charged 51 people and seized 69,654 cannabis plants valued at more than $217 million. Investigations led police to a rural property in Dandry, about 35km north of Coonabarabran, which was being used for the largescale cultivation of cannabis. Police from Orana-Mid Western assisted Drug and Firearms Squad detectives and other officers to seize 19,082 cannabis plants, with the operation expected to continue over the coming days. Six people – five men and one woman – were arrested and taken to Dubbo and Coonabarabran police stations. All six – aged between 23 and 42 – were charged with cultivate prohibited plant (large commercial quantity cannabis), knowingly take part cultivate (large commercial quantity cannabis) and participate criminal group contribute criminal activity. They were all refused bail to appear at Coonamble Local Court and investigators are working with the Department of Home Affairs regarding the visa status of the group. Drug and Firearms Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent

John Watson, said the seizure of more than 19,000 cannabis plants is believed to be a national record. “About 90,000 square metres of land has been illegally cleared at this property to make way for more than 20 greenhouses containing cannabis plants at various stages of maturity,” Det. Supt Watson said. “A lot of money has been invested into the property, which we allege existed purely for cannabis cultivation. “In terms of scale, this is one of the largest and most commercial cannabis enterprises we’ve seen – with significant infrastructure, including two large dams, commercial generators, earth moving equipment, across multiple sites, all of which require attention from workers seven days a week. State Crime Commander, Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith, a former Dubbo police commander, said it’s common to see serious and organised crime groups exploit regional areas for cannabis cultivation as part of their business model. “These types of operations have no regard for the environment or local community and are utilised by criminals only because the crop cycle for cannabis is relatively short – which can mean a quick source of revenue if successful,” Assistant Commissioner Smith said. “This particular cannabis crop has resulted in the yield of around 11.5 tonnes of high-end cannabis. This was a sophisticated processing plant with the sole purpose of preparing the commodity for market.” Investigations under Strike Force Harthouse are continuing.

Heartbreak follows tragedy By JOHN RYAN EIGHT children are without a dad and the Hampson family has Dubbo Hospital in its sights as calls grow for a coronial inquest to be held into the death of Ricky “Dougie” Hampson Jr. At a protest rally held last Monday (December 17) his dad, Rick Hampson, told Dubbo Photo News he believed the 36-year-old would still be alive but for mistake after mistake in his treatment. Mr Hampson said his son presented to Dubbo Hospital with severe stomach pain and a popping or tearing feeling in his stomach but said he was sedated, given painkillers, sent home without a proper diagnosis and died within hours after being discharged from the facility. Mr Hampson Snr met with senior hospital administrators prior to the protest rally and said what they heard was difficult to bear.

“There (were) that many failures. We had to get up and walk out, we just said we can’t do this any more, we didn’t realise there were so many failures so someone’s got to be held accountable,” he said. He wants the hard questions asked through a coronial inquiry so the medical staff involved can answer “why they treated (Dougie) the way they did and why they gave him the drugs they did”. CEO of the National Justice Project, George Newhouse, is acting for Mr Hampson Sr and Dougie’s mother, Lydia Chatfield, and said justice needs to be done. “A coronial inquest would provide an opportunity to observe systemic patterns and to prevent deaths in similar circumstances and most importantly to provide transparency and accountability to a system that too often fails Aboriginal people,” Mr Newhouse said.

A PLANNING team has been put in place and more focused consultation with the community and stakeholders is set to begin on the much anticipated new drug and alcohol rehab centre for Dubbo. Last year, state and federal governments stumped up funding to build the new centre on land provided by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) and a NSW government tender process will be used to appoint an operator to deliver the rehabilitation service. Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) Mental Health Drug and Alcohol project manager Alanna Hinrichsen said that after work in 2021 to finalise funding and identify site options, more detailed planning has commenced. “This is going to be a great asset for people in our region who need support to address their harmful drug and alcohol use,” Ms Hinrichsen said. “This is a substantial project, and we’ll be working closely with partners in health and other sectors to make sure it offers a service and environment that makes everyone feel safe, respected and gives them the best possible chance for their rehabilitation both in the centre, and as they return home.” The planning team includes Dubbo and Region Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Hub Manager Vicky Scott and District Coordinator for Aboriginal Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol Donna Stanley and the goals are to deliver a service that’s accessible, inclusive and culturally responsive, to develop a design that meets the needs of the range of people who will use the service, and to develop plans for withdrawal and rehabilitation that are clinical and medical best-practice. “To achieve that we’ll need a lot of input from stakeholders, including the general community and people who have lived-experience of drug and alcohol withdrawal and rehabilitation,” she said. “In early 2022 we’ll be meeting – both in person and virtually – with those groups to capture their input. There will be more information about how individuals and groups can help inform our planning in 2022.” The centre is anticipated to start operating in 2023.

Fighting fear and prejudice By BROOKE JACOBSON

ORANA Mid-Western Police District commander Superintendent Dan Sullivan isn’t just committed to solving crime. He’s dedicated to fighting against prejudice as well. Since arriving in the region, Supt Sullivan has been engaging with the LGBTQI+ community and spoke with Dubbo Photo News about the progress being made – and just how far we as a community still have to go. “One thing I’m really proud of here, is that we have a strong contingent of Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officers or GLLOs, known as ‘glows’,” he said. “They’re a very vibrant group here and their skillset enables them to have a conversation with the LGBTQI+ community, and to let them know that the police station is a safe place.” The region’s police have recently joined the Welcome Here project, with stickers and posters displayed in police stations promoting their commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive space for LGBTQI+ people. “Looking back, there is history between the NSW Police force and the LGBTQI+ community, in that it used to be an offence to be homosexual,” Supt Sullivan said. “These are difficult parts of our past that we need to overcome, and it’s important for the LGBTQI+ community to know that the police station is now a safe place. “NSW has strong anti-discrimination laws, and we want to make sure members of this community know they can come to us and report these crimes.” He added people should not be experiencing crime “because of a feature of themselves they cannot change”. “It is a crime to target someone because of something about themselves they cannot change – their sexual orientation, gender identity, race,” Supt Sullivan said. “Doing so means it’s a different level of crime. You can’t change who you are.” Supt Sullivan added it had been “disappointing” to see the level of prejudice expressed in the region, particularly on social media. “I know social media doesn’t always represent the best of us, but it’s disappointing to see the backlash online when police speak about these issues,” he said. “Quite plainly, it’s prejudice; it’s misunderstanding, and I would

use the word fear to describe a lot of that type of commentary. “I think Yoda described it best in Star Wars – fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. “It’s fear of the “other” that leads to more sinister actions.” He also hit back at people who suggested the NSW Police Force had signed up to a “woke agenda”. “Young people in the central west community are over-represented in suicide figures, and young people who are LGBTQI+ are over-represented in suicide figures,” Supt Sullivan said. “That’s why we care, that’s why we do the things we’re doing. “Judging by the comments I see on social media, we have a long way to go. It can be difficult for young people to come out, it’s a challenge. “But we’re doing this and speaking about this because young LGBTQI+ people are over-represented in those suicide figures.” According to Supt Sullivan, “a

problem without a solution is just a whinge”, so he has helped implement a new program in the region called Strong, Proud and Deadly. “Strong, Proud and Deadly is aimed at helping young Indigenous people come out,” he said. “We have two Aboriginal officers here, who are also GLLOs, and they’re here to help talk young people through that coming out process, or with whatever else they might need. “There’s a lot of issues there (in the Indigenous community) about acceptance, myths, and cultural identity, and I’m so proud of my team for starting this program and starting this conversation.” Police in the central west also take part in several events throughout the year, including International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia; Wear it Purple Day; and the Transgender Day of Remembrance. “We want people to know that

the police station is a safe place for everyone in our community,” Supt Sullivan said. “Anyone can come in and ask to see a GLLO officer, or you can go online to the NSW Police website, there’s lots of information there about how we can help you. “I just want to see acceptance – it’s ok to be different, it’s ok to be you. “Change and progress is absolutely possible, and I’d like to see that in our community.”

DUBBO residents will soon gain access to telehealth services with better accessibility which aims to improve patient, clinician and caregiver experiences for mental health and palliative care services. The new Enhanced Telehealth Capabilities project led by Monash University will deliver user-centred and research-based software solutions which demonstrate real-time transcription, smoother integration and better accessibility for elderly and our multicultural community. Project lead Rashina Hoda said more than 16m Australians have been accessing health services remotely since the start of the pandemic. The project will work closely with doctors, patients and caregivers to understand their needs and create software solutions that enables clinical capabilities. Project collaborator Victoria Palmer said there has been a significant increase in people experiencing mental health issues due to the pandemic. “Creating better and more accessible telehealth enhancements would mean more doctors and patients are supported for an improved telehealth experience that can lead to better health outlooks,” Ms Palmer said. Over the next two and a half years, the research team will be working closely to enhance virtual care capabilities with Australia’s national public health provider, Healthdirect Australia.

Land values rise sharply

Continued from page 3

Heartbreak follows tragedy Mr Hampson said the family wants the professional staff involved in his son’s death to be held accountable for their failures and for the NSW Department of Health to implement training and strict policies to eliminate bias and prejudice in the delivery of health services and to provide culturally safe health care to all Aboriginal patients. “Everyone has to be honest, to start with,” he said. “All we’re trying to do today is get a coronial inquest happening. We want changes within the system so no more of this biased treatment is happening and after the inquest if the ruling is that someone has been negligent and done the wrong thing, someone has to be held accountable. “This is a peaceful protest, we’re not out for revenge, we just want the change. We want the people who dealt with our son to answer the hard questions at a coronial inquest and we want changes to the NSW system so it’s not going to happen to other families.” After the press conference, as the media representatives left, the grieving family lamented they had no safe haven to which they could retire. “I imagine when all you are gone and we head back to the motel for the night we’re just going to be in a world of our own,” Mr Hampson said. “(We’ll) reflect on what’s happened today and hope

NSW Valuer General Dr David Parker has published land values for the Central West NSW region and values have risen sharply since July 1, 2020. The land values reflect the value of land only, as at July 1, 2021. Dr Parker said property sales are the most important factor valuers consider when determining land values. “Land value is the value of the land only and does not include the value of a home or other structures,” Dr Parker said. “Private contract valuers with expertise in their local areas have prepared the July 1, 2021 land values on behalf of the Valuer General, to determine new land values across the region.”

Right: 18-year-old Talesha Murray says her world has become a lonely place since her dad died. “I just want justice for my dad.”

the message gets out there. This is not the first time this has happened in a NSW hospital. “We’re not going to give up the fight, we’ll keep fighting no matter what – our son can’t talk for himself so we’re giving him a voice. He deserves justice – he deserves to have people answer the questions (as to) why they didn’t treat him well when he was polite to them and trusted them and they let him down.” A Western NSW Local Health District spokesperson told Dubbo Photo News the department offered “our sincere condolences to the family of this man”. “The death of this man has

been referred to the Coroner and the Western NSW Local Health District will assist in the coronial process.” Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said he wasn’t at liberty to speak to specifics but nevertheless his comment had an edge of humanity. “There is a process being followed at the present time, but this

is clearly a tragic scenario, and all of my deepest sympathies are with the family.” Dougie’s 18-year-old daughter, Talesha Murray, said a whole part of her life had been ripped away, and that loneliness would stalk her always. For now, she knows the best she can hope for are honest answers: “I just want justice for my dad.”

Spare thoughts for Tonga and Afghanistan

I am, you are, we are: How far have we come? On the eve of Australia Day, Wiradjuri elder and Dubbo community leader “Riverbank” Frank Doolan asks the question: How far have we really come if we live in a society where everything we do, every decision we make is seen through the prism of race? I DON’T have a problem with Australia Day. I just know and accept that white settlement of this land began with the coming of the tall ships in 1788. I hear a lot of discussion about changing the date – January 26 – and I hear other things about the day, but I think a lot of energy is wasted on worrying about Australia Day. The day is about nation building and we’re all a part of that, whether we like it or not. Each person and their contribution can add to the total of what and who we are. The question is this: do we want to live in a society where everything we do, every decision we make in this Australia place, is a race-based decision? If we do, how far have we really come? While we’re having this discussion that “you’re a black man, I’m

a white man”, we haven’t made much progress. Our differences, our diversity – that’s what makes Australia. The history isn’t pleasant, but then what history is? I can fully understand how other Indigenous people see the day and what it represents as a platform to vent their frustration. I can understand that – some people really feel a strong need to protest, and I don’t have a problem with that either. That’s one of the beauties of living in this Australia place – we have freedom of speech. Providing you protest in a lawful manner, and you do it in consultation with the authorities, that’s fine. Everyone has that right to protest in this country. I think people can still mark Australia Day without disrespecting Indigenous history and the feelings of Indigenous people.

Wiradjuri elder, community leader and renowned humanitarian, "Riverbank" Frank Doolan believes our differences and diversity are what makes Australia. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

I live in hope that that’s what will happen – I’m a dreamer – but what I think is required for that to happen is that we need to take time, all of us, to learn a little bit more of the give and take technique. That is, we need to sit down and share stories in the spirit of co-operation. And we need to do this in the belief that the white story is just as important and matters just as much as the black story in this country. You can get all worked up about all sorts of stuff, and I’m no different from any other Indige-

nous person, in that I feel anger and hurt and rejection and marginalisation, but what I believe is what another black man – a colonised man, some would say an oppressed man too – said: “Don’t dream the change, BE the change you want to see in the world.” Whatever I can do to push things forward, I will. To give it an Australian flavour, I believe so strongly in those words of that song that probably should be our national anthem: “I am, you are, we are Australian”. As told to Jen Cowley

WHILE Covid-19 and a certain high-profile tennis star have hijacked most of the headlines so far this year, including here in Dubbo, heartbreak and tragedy continue to stalk the world beyond our city limits. We have a large and active Tongan expat community here in the city and across the region, so please spare a thought for those families whose loved ones and home-land have been affected by the dreadful volcanic eruption and subsequent tsunami. Communications to the tiny island nation remain all but non-existent, so news of the families of those Dubbo residents is sketchy. Fortunately, the loss of life has been minimal so far, but the damage caused by the tsunami is disastrous. And this week, an earthquake hit a remote province in Afghanistan, killing some 25 people and devastating an already impoverished community battling to survive the country’s deepening humanitarian crisis. The magnitude-5.6 tremor struck one of the key areas being assisted by international aid organisations, leaving hundreds homeless in the middle of a bitter winter according to reports, after the quake flattened houses largely constructed out of mud. We also have a number of Afghan expats as part of our own community here in Dubbo, and again, we spare thoughts for those impacted.

Dubbo Photo News January 20-26, 2022

Tongan eruption affects Dubbo BRUNO Efoti is well recognised in Dubbo for his community work and as the founder of Tradies In Sight but he’s also regarded as an elder for the Tongan expats who currently live in and around the city. In the aftermath of this week’s massive volcanic eruption in Tonga, he spoke to Dubbo Photo News about how difficult it was to be so far from friends and family when communications meant you couldn’t check-in on loved ones. ••• What do you know about the volcanic eruption so far? The hunga-tonga hunga ha'apai volcano has erupted a couple of times in my lifetime and it has been rumbling away for the past couple of weeks. Saturday's eruption was the biggest in the world in 30 years and has left Tonga with an ash cloud and a tsunami that has measured 1.2 metres in height. The same tsunami pushed on the Australian coastline three hours later for 60 mins at 50cm high. What injury and damage reports have you heard? So far there are three lives lost according to Kaniva Tonga news as well as several different levels of destruction due to the tsunami as well as extensive ash covering on all the islands which impacts water and food sources – 80 per cent of Tongans still live off the land and the sea so every food source and water source has been cut.

When Bruno Efoti's Tongan village was flattened by Cyclone Ian in February 2014, he spent a month back home with a few Dubbo tradies who flew in with him to help. He says despite the current difficulties, the island nation will bounce back. PHOTO: SUPPLIED Why is it so difficult to communicate with Tonga at the moment? The main source of communication was an undersea fibre optic cable that has been damaged in several places due to its proximity to the volcano. In one spot it was only 6.5 km away. There are only a few satellite phones which have been patchy due to the ash cloud as well. Is it even worse trying to find out what's happening on the outlying islands? Very bad due to the lack of access to any form of communication and their elevation is so low. Dubbo's Tongan population has grown significantly in the past few years, how many people are living here these days?

We have about 100 Tongans in Dubbo with the majority being here on three-year work visas. Every Tongan in Dubbo will be supporting family back home in some way. How can Dubbo help? Pita's fund raiser is the only one we trust. (Pita Taufatofua has set up a GoFundMe which was well on it’s way towards its target of one million dollars). Are you planning a support meeting for members of the Tongan community? Yes, we will be having a gathering this Thursday evening (tonight, January 20) at the Tradies In Sight shed. How resilient a nation is Tonga with constant weather disas-

ters and how do the people keep bouncing back? Very, very resilient. Natural disasters are life. This time seven years ago they suffered a category five cyclone that wiped out 80 per cent of my village. They are very grateful and content people who know how to stick together and they are not afraid to put themselves second to help others – it’s a community-based mentality. Dubbo locals have gone over to Tonga with you in the past to help rebuild after massive storms? Sam Mcleod, Adam Clarke and Anthony Fowler with a massive amount of financial support from locals meant we could rebuild in my village for a month in February of 2014 after Cyclone Ian.

Wonder Women: Do you know any?

DUBBO MP Dugald Saunders is urging locals to nominate outstanding women in the community for the 2022 Local Women of the Year Awards, an annual program which recognises and celebrates the support women give to their local communities across NSW. Previous recipients include Gulgong’s Joy Harrison and Wellington’s Pip Smith, while Dubbo’s Joh Leader, Lucy Samuels, Lucy Taylor, Izzy Kelly and #buyfromthebush founder Grace Brennan were honoured at last year’s NSW Women of the Year Awards. “These women make a massive contribution to their communities, and I know there’s many more women out there just like them whose efforts often go unrecognised,” Mr Saunders said. “These awards are a great opportunity to celebrate just some of the people who go above and beyond to make our regional and rural communities the amazing places they are!” Nominations close at 5pm on Monday, January 24. Forms can be downloaded at dugaldsaunders. com.au/nominate-local-womanof-the-year/ and sent to dubbo@ parliament.nsw.gov.au or PO Box 1327 Dubbo NSW 2830.

Dubbo seniors play travel card

Flying jabs

ELIGIBLE local seniors can now apply for the 2022 NSW Regional Seniors Travel Card, which will see them receive $250 to help with everyday travel costs. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the popular initiative, which has seen more than 690,000 cards issued to regional seniors in NSW since the start of 2020, has been extended for another two years. “We’ve already seen the difference this card is making across the region, with more than 8500 cards already issued across the Dubbo electorate – and thousands more across western NSW.”

By JOHN RYAN MANY children across rural and remote NSW will be receiving their vaccinations from the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section (RFDSSE) as the service also rolls out booster jabs for adults. The RFDS will deliver booster vaccinations to people who had their initial two doses more than four months earlier and it will also begin administering primary vaccinations to children aged between 5 and 11 years old. RFDSSE Health Service General Manager Jenny Beach said the RFDS was proud to help communities improve their protection against COVID, and privileged to work with the rural and remote communities we traditionally service. “Our focus will again be making sure that people in communities with limited access are able to get the vaccine. This includes our traditional service areas of far west NSW where people would need to travel for several hours to receive a booster if we didn’t provide it,” Ms Beach said. “Our vaccination teams will also include towns and vil-

lages where it isn’t as simple as going down to a pharmacy or a mass vaccination clinic.” Kahla Baker from Enngonia, has booked her booster shot with the flying doctors and her 11-year-old daughter Amber Azzopardi is also scheduled to have her first dose of the vaccine when the team returns to Enngonia, while daughters Holly (14) and Kristy (12) had their first dose of the vaccine at an RFDSSE clinic on January 11. “It’s great the RFDS is coming because it allows us to be vaccinated in our own community.

There are no GPs in town – the RFDSSE is our GP and often our health service’, so without them coming here, we would have to go to Bourke or somewhere else and that’s just so much harder,” Kahla said. “There has already been an outbreak of COVID in Enngonia last year so we know what can happen and I want my family protected.” RFDSSE Chief Medical Officer Randall Greenberg said the organisation was determined to play a key role in increasing vaccination rates in regional and

remote areas. “The RFDS has a proud history of being able to adapt quickly to deliver services to people in the most remote corners of Australia and our role in providing COVID vaccinations is testament to that,” Dr Greenberg said. “We are very proud of the role we played in protecting communities through the delivery of first and second doses in 2021 and with children aged 5-11 now eligible and boosters required for the already vaccinated, there is more to be done.”

A CROWD numbering around 230 gathered near the Dubbo Visitors Information Centre on January 15 as part of the nationwide Reclaim the Line movement, the focus of this protest march being the federal government’s rollout of Covid-19 vaccines to children aged 5-11. The protestors say they disagree with government claims that the vaccine is safe for kids. Many of those attending the rally have told Dubbo Photo News they generally support vaccinations, but not the Covid-19 vaccination, and especially not for children. Police were in attendance and said those attending the protest march were well behaved. Police say the protest was peaceful. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

IPROWD of the Aboriginal community Continued from page 1

“It’s a problem globally, not just in Australia, and we need to close that gap of conflict and hate between the indigenous community and police.” By using trajectories of our past, Peter says we can help be wiser in the future and for upcoming generations. With programs like IPROWD mending the path between the Aboriginal community and NSW police, Peter believes there should be another Royal commission as there has been minimal change in the community. “We’re at crisis levels right across the country and we can’t pretend that it is not

happening because we have services now,” Peter says “We need to take responsibility to make a difference in the community to tackle (the) driving issues. “(It) starts from poverty, and everyone holds that personal responsibility. “People are coming to Dubbo from other countries and communities, and we need our young people to see the inspiration within our streets.” Through his oversight, Peter ensures students welcomed into the program do not take any short cuts and are encouraged to be proud of their achievements. “The students take pride in their milestones and that shines through their grand-

parents and parents,” Peter says. He believes the the young people who overcome difficulty or poverty to be the first from their community, are the role models who inspire the people around them. “There is no hidden agenda to our program, our students work as hard as everyone else does. “If you start in poverty, it doesn’t mean you have to end there,” he says. Peter is amazed with how motivated his students are to change their way of historical thinking, and says Australia Day is a significant opportunity for Australians to work hard and join together.

“Hole in the wall” hits the sweet spot By TIJANA BIRDJAN

AFTER a tragic start to the Harvest’s new gelato bar on their official launch day last week, owner Georgia Stevens was quick begin operations the following day on Friday. Ms Stevens arrived at the corner shop on Thursday morning and the power had cut out – melting all the gelato and sorbet. “It was everywhere, and all melted all over the floor,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “We had a lot of people come down (for the opening), so it was extremely stressful.” Ms Stevens said she’d received a lot of comment from people who were excited to “come down and try the flavours”. “Even in the past day we’ve had a lot of community support and people reaching out.” Although initially planning to launch the bar before the Christmas break, due to other commitments it had to be postponed. “The idea of the gelato was really impulsive to be honest. I just thought about it one night and bought the gelato machine the next day,” Ms Stevens said. “Then we literally put a hole in the wall and hoped for the best – and luckily it worked out well. “We contacted a family company to supply to gelato and they were more than happy to help.” Ms Stevens told Dubbo Photo

Local eatery The Harvest hopes its new “hole in the wall” gelato bar hits a sweet spot. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

News that she recently travelled to Italy and was inspired by a shop that had a hole in the wall and advertised stating it sold Italy’s best gelato. “It’s something I always remembered and wanted to bring down here,” Ms Stevens said. “Even the flavours themselves are so unique and hard to find here. “My favourite flavour that I had while I was away was pistachio

and I know it is really difficult to source here. “All our flavours are really niche, so I thought it was important to bring variety into this space.” The Gelato Bar can have up to 12 flavours with special “Dogalto” flavours for furry friends in the near future. “People will be encouraged to bring their dogs and give them a little treat also,” she said. The winter trading hours are

still being determined, but Ms Stevens said if people are eager for gelato through the colder months, she will continue the supply. “This is a real opportunity for people to try real gelato in the Dubbo community and I can’t wait for them to try it,” Ms Stevens said. “There’s a huge difference between ice cream and gelato and hopefully customers can taste that.”

Let Kintyre Lodge help you rethink respite The primary purpose of Kintyre Lodge Dubbo is to provide high quality aged care residency services but for the many primary carers living at home supporting their loved ones, Kintyre Lodge can assist you too. Our respite service is key to helping you take a well-earned break. It’s common for carers to put their own well-being last and to feel that a break is not deserved. You may just feel too tired to make the effort or aren’t sure how to book respite. It’s important, however, you give yourself time to recharge those batteries, get those nagging errands or jobs done, take time to nurture other relationships in your life and focus on your own goals - to nurture you. It’s also perfectly natural and common to feel the care of

your loved one is all your responsibility all the time yet without regular breaks the quality of that care and your own wellbeing can suffer. Another hesitation you may feel is being worried about leaving your loved one in a new environment but at Kintyre Lodge we regularly welcome Dubbo region residents for respite and are very well prepared to ensure your loved one – and you – have a positive experience. Your loved one will stay in a private en-suite room and enjoy freshly prepared meals, and morning and afternoon teas which are all made on site by our resident chef. They will be cared for by registered nursing staff who are on site 24/7 and will have ample opportunity to enjoy activities and interactions with our permanent residents under the caring and experienced supervision of our

creative activities officer. We can guarantee you will have peace of mind during your break, which might be a few hours, overnight, a weekend or longer, knowing your loved one is enjoying quality care in comfortable surrounds, eating exceptional meals and making new friends in a welcoming, fun environment. Too often families wait until they’re in emotional crisis and are forced to ask for help. Please get in touch today to book a tour of the Kintyre Lodge and respite facilities so when the need arises, you’ve already met us, seen the surroundings, have had time to process what you need to do to get prepared and understand completely what we can and want to do for you.

Respite guests get a warm welcome into the Kintyre Lodge community, even more so now restrictions have eased. If you would like to know more about joining the Kintyre community, either independent living or residential aged care, please contact us.

Mudslingers getting down and dirty By JEN COWLEY IN a little more than two months, one of the region’s favourite events – the MAAS Titan Macquarie Mud Run – will kick off for its ninth year. Actually it’s the eighth event – thanks to Covid 2020 – but who’s counting? Committee chairman Rod Fardell, for one. Largely credited as the driving force behind the increasingly popular mud run, Rod says this year’s event – being held on March 19 – will be “bigger than Ben Hur”, thanks to the community’s raging thirst for fun outdoor activity. “Everyone is super keen on getting involved, which is great because it’s a great community event with terrific community support.” This year’s mud run, which will be held in accordance with all relevant Covid-safe procedures, is “massively different”. “We’ve moved to Regand Park, 2021’s Titan Macquarie Mud Runners got down and dirty - this year’s event promises to be bigger, better and messier! which is a beautiful location and PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY/FILE an area there that allows us to cre“We couldn’t have got it off the back into creating amazing recre- efforts, as is the newly-installed ate even more mud,” Rod says. lighting that allows access to the ground if we hadn’t had the sup- ational events and resources.

ago, so that’s one of the inclusions for this year’s mud run that people will be able to try out.” According to Rod, Covid-19 has showed us all just how important and vital it is to be able to get out and about in the fresh air and maintain some level of activity and fitness to balance overall health and wellbeing. Taking part in the Titan Macquarie Mud Run is a great way to do just that, and he is at pains to stress that it’s not just for elite athletes – far from it. “You do NOT have to be crazily fit to do this event. The teams, the fun, the dressing up – that’s all part of it. “Predominantly, we’re about having fun. If you want to test yourself with the obstacles and push yourself physically, that’s great and we encourage people to take it seriously if they’re into fitness, but if you just want to get a team together to have a bit of fun in the mud, then you are just as welcome. “This event is for everyone. “And by being a part of the MAAS Titan Macquarie Mud Run, everyone can be a part of that great overall goal of being a fitter, healthier, happier community.” If you’d like more information, visit the website at: www.titanmacquariemudrun.com.au, where you can also register. Entries are now open, and early bird discounts close this weekend.

Have we hit our Covid peak? NSW “a bit ahead” By BROOKE JACOBSON RESIDENTS in Dubbo and across the region will be relieved to hear that according to Australia’s chief medical officer, NSW may have already hit the peak of the current COVID-19 outbreak. Professor Paul Kelly said late last week NSW was “a bit ahead” of the other states. “The other states are a little bit further behind, but I think end of January, early February is where we will see a change,” he said. According to website covidlive. com.au, the Dubbo local government area was dealing with 1,792 active COVID cases on January 16, an increase of 128 cases from the

day before. NSW chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, urged as many people as possible to get their booster shot. “Can I just re-emphasise that you’re particularly at risk of severe disease from COVID if you’re over 65, or have underlying chronic conditions impacting the lung, heart, kidneys, liver,” she said. “If you have diabetes, or if you have conditions that impact your immune system – what we call immunocompromised – you are at risk of severe disease and I can’t urge you more strongly, please come forward and get your booster.” The state’s health minister, Brad

Hazzard, was more blunt in his press conference earlier this week. “People who are not fully vaccinated are six times more likely to be hospitalised and 13 times more likely to need intensive care, if they catch COVID,” he said. “That means you are requiring assistance of the health staff who are already exhausted. “Can I just say to those people who have chosen not to get vaccinated – it’s time to give a damn about someone other than yourself. “Give a damn about your community, your family and most particularly, the health staff across NSW who you expect to be looking after you, if and when you end

up in our hospital system.” The current NSW vaccination rate is: z 26 per cent of people aged 18 and over had their booster shot z 93.8 per cent of people aged 16 and over were double vaccinated z 78.3 per cent of people aged 12 to 15 were double vaccinated z 13.1 per cent of children aged 5 to 11 had their first vaccination NSW Health has issued a list of Omicron symptoms: z Fever z Cough z Sore throat z Shortness of breath z Runny nose or congestion z Headache or fatigue z Muscle or joint pain

z Nausea or loss of appetite z Diarrhoea or vomiting z Temporary loss of smell, or altered sense of taste NSW Health has said anyone with those symptoms should assume they have COVID until proven otherwise, and it was vital to take a Rapid Antigen Test or get a PCR test done as soon as possible. There has been no change to the plans for the start of the school year, with NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet insisting January 28 was the “non-negotiable” date for the end of school holidays. The Premier said his government would discuss its back-toschool plan during this week’s National Cabinet meeting.

The team at Central West Health are delighted to introduce the Emsella Chair The Emsella Chair is proven as a quick, effective and embarrassment free treatment for various types of Urinary Incontinence ( UI) or bladder leakage in Men and Women and erectile difficulties (ED) in Men.

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.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Prisoners and performers acting up behind bars

By TIJANA BIRDJAN NEARING the end of the school holidays the Old Dubbo Goal still has exhibitions, displays and guided tours to bring history to life before the academic year begins. Performer and attendant Madilyn “Maddie” Burdon is enjoying her final weeks before she heads off to Wollongong University to continue her passion with a performing arts major. Walking through the imposing gate into the gaol, the effervescent 19-year-old expressed her desire to transform her growth from performing at work and the Dubbo Drama Club to transitioning to a career on stage. Maddie tells Dubbo Photo News her role also assists in presenting the site to visitors just as it was more than a century ago. From maintaining and upkeeping the site, giving historical tours and performing, Maddie says the performances for visitors are the highlight her job. “You get to see so many children laughing and smiling – it’s wonderful to see.” The Dubbo Photo Gaol exhibits two skits a day featuring a prisoner and a guard performance and an escape tour. “The children absolutely love the prisoner and the guard because they are heavily involved and can either help the guard catch the prisoner or help the prisoner get away,” she says. The escape tours highlight some of the recorded attempted and successful historic prison escapes

through theatrical storytelling. The Old Dubbo Gaol also showcases staff in costumes with props to encompass the different fashion trends and to extend visitors’ involvement. “I love doing things for other people and knowing I can make someone’s day is so gratifying to me,” Maddie says. “I think it definitely comes from the team I work with. “We’re all very close friends so you can really have the time of your life when you are in character because one of your close friends is standing next to you. “It’s a different feeling when you see people adoring what you do and knowing that you made a difference in their day, and you hope that they will pass that onto someone too.” Maddie’s devotion for the arts began when she was very young. “My mum sings so it was always second nature to me,” she says. Sharing her childhood stories and realisations, Madilyn knew performing arts was for her from her first primary school musical where she had the opportunity to sing, dance and act. “It was probably the first moment when I realised I could do three things I loved to do all at once,” she says, adding that her passion continued to grow when she scored the lead in her year six musical. “Sometimes I think how hard performing arts is to get into and especially because the industry is still struggling and doesn’t have a clear future,” she says. “That’s why I love it here so much.

I do what I love and get to share my passions with other people. “When I initially started working here, I would watch a few performances and I remember thinking the staff were amazing and wanting to be as interactive as they were. “Seeing the atmosphere and how talented everyone else is – I fell in love with it. “The people I learned from made the children and visitors so happy and I thought if I get to come here and work and I get the opportunity to make children as happy as they did on most days then I’m doing something right.” The Old Dubbo Gaol is a significant landmark in Dubbo’s history and attracts a global audience. “We get visitors from all over Australia, New Zealand and sometimes America and I have the power to make them love it as much as I do,” she says. “The gaol often gets comments saying the children had a great experience and that puts me on a high for the rest of the day. “I think my love of working here comes across in my performances and that makes people appreciate the site even more.” The Old Dubbo Gaol recently implemented sound systems and projections in the cells to showcase the environment the inmates lived in. “I know that I nor the rest of the staff do what we do for appraisal, but sometimes it’s just nice to here,” Maddie says. “I love doing what I do because I know the kids are loving it too.”

Experienced to the Macs By JOHN RYAN TWENTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD Kye Schloeffel grew up and went to school in Dubbo where, during his school years, all he wanted to do was program computers and fix technical gadgets. “Pretty much the sort of stuff I’m doing now,” he said, remarking that he didn’t need much insight to see which way his after-school career would head. “I just loved doing all those things. “I used to teach a programming class at school because I just loved doing it.” Asked if his skills were in constant demand from all his technically illiterate mates, he couldn’t help laughing at the memories. “Oh, always! I’ve been fixing stuff for everyone around me for ages and ages and just basically doing everything for the family, for mates at school,” he said. And those skills make him perhaps the most popular per-

son during family gatherings such as at Christmas. “It’s pretty much “great to see you, but while I’m here, here’s my phone, what do I have to do with it, how do I use this, how do I set up this new thing I’ve got?”,” he joked. “If anyone got anything technical for Christmas such as a PlayStation or iPad, they didn’t have to worry about setting it up.” Kye loves his job, not only because he’s being paid to follow his passion but also because he enjoys repairing items and helping his customers out. “I’ve worked at a few different places but I love it here and doing this job,” he said of his two years at Experimac. “It’s a fantastic place to work – I love the people, love the bosses, love the customers,” he gushes, mentioning that it’s so pleasing to work at a shop that has such a positive name around town. “It’s because the people we have working here are fantastic

to work with. I just love working in a team that loves helping people. I love that atmosphere.” A big part of Experimac’s success, Kye believes, comes down to the service and the very many times the workers do quick, simple fixes for free. He says so many people who benefit from that free helping hand not only come back, but tell all their mates as well. “We love getting people in here and making them happy and if it’s a quick fix that takes us no time we like to be able to do that for them,” he said. Kye thrives on the variety of work that includes all the standard digital devices along with head units from tractors, pretty much anything that can be fixed that’s worth fixing, something that gives him great personal pleasure in the midst of our current “throw-away” society. He’s proud of all the firsthand, can-do knowledge at the store that enables the team to

solve most problems they’re presented with. “(It’s) really good to be able to pull something apart, diagnose the problem and fix it for our customers. It gives us a great sense of self-worth as well,” he said, commenting that the global pandemic had focused plenty of mainstream attention on the fact that Australia doesn’t fix much stuff these days, which is a problem when supply chains for new products breaks down. “During Covid, so many people have realised they can’t always just go out and replace things so it’s good they’re able to bring it somewhere like here where they can get it fixed up straight away. “It’s also a great feeling of achievement – we’ve had some customers leave the shop crying tears of happiness because we’ve been able to retrieve their photos or get something working they’ve been trying to have fixed for ages and ages. It’s a great feeling.”

EMERGENCY REPORT

The Dubbo Photo News column dedicated to the hard work of our emergency services personnel.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Almost 50 years of fires I’VE attended hundreds of fires, tragic motor vehicle crashes and many other emergencies and one constant at so many of these events was Paul Schroeder, as deputy captain at Dubbo 280 Fire Station and a firie for 44 years. And that four and a half decades of service to the community wasn’t just about attending emergency incidents, it included other duties such as training firefighters and educating the community on fire safety. Here’s some excerpts from a tribute from his fellow brigade members at the Dubbo Fire Station: “Better known as Schultz or Schrods to fellow firefighters, Paul’s can-do attitude has ensured countless people have benefited from his time with the brigade. Paul has been a member of Dubbo fire station for 44 years since joining on April 1,1977. The brigade was made up of volunteer firefighters and one permanent Station Officer working Monday to Friday through the day. “Paul recalls back in those days, calls to fire and other emergencies were received at the station during Monday to Friday 8am – 4pm by the Station Officer. After hours and on weekends, calls were taken by three volunteer firefighters on a special party line system. “During this time, Paul was employed by the Dubbo RSL Club. As the station siren couldn’t be heard inside the club, the on-duty doorman would announce over the club PA system, “any fireman in the club, the fire siren is sounding”. “While triple zero was used to report fires at the time, people could also report fires by dialling 829999. Eagle Boys Pizza had a similar number 828999. Paul recalls taking the odd pizza order on the fire line. “Paul attended his first house fire in Gipps Street opposite Elston Park in Dubbo. He is confident that block of land remained vacant for 44 years until just recently. “(He) was an accomplished trainer (and) played an active role in community safety through FRNSW Commsafe section. This involved Paul attending numerous regional locations training community members, business employees in fire safety, extinguish-

er use, evacuations, building code compliance and fire warden roles responsibilities to name a few. “Paul has attended many emergency incidents including the Condobolin Cyanide spill in 1992. He was also a member of a Strike Team formed to protect the Siding Springs Observatory in 2013 from a fierce and fast moving fire. Under very trying conditions, Paul and the other crews did a fantastic job preventing fire from destroying the largest optical astronomy observatory in Australia. “Many years ago, firefighters didn’t have the support and services available that firefighters have today. After nasty or extended jobs, Dubbo firefighters would debrief over a drink and a talk. Meals weren’t provided at incidents and there were no meal allowances etc. During these extended jobs, it was common for the firefighters’ wives to come together as a group, preparing and providing food and refreshments for firefighters, any time of the day or night. “Humble right to the end, Paul

feels very privileged to have been a part of FRNSW for 44 years, being given the opportunity to help and work with so many people and being provided with so many life experiences. “It is also important to acknowledge and thank Paul’s wife and family. Indirectly, they were also involved in this journey, being woken at night by house bells each time the fire brigade was required. “When you consider the station was attending 500 plus calls a year, you can appreciate the commitment required.”

Suss behaviour DUBBO police are asking locals to keep a look out for a suspicious vehicle that was seen on Bunglegumbie Road near town, in recent times. The vehicle is described as a blue coloured Subaru Tribec wagon and it has been seen driving slowly in the area and stopping frequently. If you see this vehicle, please contact triple 0 immediately. Alternatively, if you know anything

about this vehicle, or you believe you have seen it, please contact Dubbo Police Station on 02 6883 1599 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 – email crimestoppers. com.au.

Fourth person charged over Dubbo shooting Police have charged a 32-yearold woman over her alleged involvement in the shooting of a man in a house on Baird Street on November 23 last year. Emergency services were called to the home just before 11am due to concerns for the occupant’s welfare and found a 34-year-old man inside the home suffering a gunshot wound to his leg, a wound to his face and lacerations to his arms. Police were told two people wearing face coverings entered the home and assaulted the man before fleeing the scene. The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to Dubbo Hospital in a serious but stable condition. Investigations led to the arrests of three men aged 26, 31 and 48 – they were charged by detectives in Sydney last year and they remain before the courts. About 10.40am on January 13, local police attended a home

POLICE are appealing for public assistance to locate a man wanted on an outstanding warrant.

Dubbo Photo News January 20-26, 2022

Works continue on long road to progress

Corporate ‘local’ news collapses

DUBBO residents are fortunate they can pick up all the important news from the city and broader region via Dubbo Photo News but regional areas have seen their sole corporate-owned newspapers either cut and run or cut back the content so there’s little of relevance for locals. Now a new online survey is seeking views on how Australians living in regional, rural or remote areas access news as part of a federal parliamentary inquiry into Australia’s regional newspapers. The survey is open until February 11 and takes less than 10 minutes to complete.

NEWS/KEN SMITH

By BROOKE JACOBSON ALL roads will soon lead to south Dubbo, with the Boundary Road extension project nearing completion. The project has had its fair share of delays, but Dubbo Regional Council’s (DRC) manager of infrastructure, strategy and design, Chris Godfrey, said the road would be worth the wait. “This key arterial road forms part of the greater Dubbo Transportation Strategy which will tie in with the Southern Distributor, connecting commuters from the south to the east,” Mr Godfrey said. “It will also provide a secondary access for the east Dubbo school precinct and ultimately Blueridge Business Park, easing significant congestion on Wheelers Lane in the morning and afternoon, reducing the driving time for commuters.” He added the Boundary Road extension was also “future-proofing” the area. “When designing this new portion of road, it was very important to include the essential infrastructure that would allow the city to grow in the years to come, without ripping up the road to install the required services at a later date,” Mr Godfrey said.

“The extension of Boundary Road now contains all the required services for future expansion, both commercially and residentially, including gas, NBN, water, gravity sewer stormwater infrastructure, and electricity.” The project was designed to connect traffic and pedestrians to Keswick and Southlakes residential estates, as well as another way to access St John’s College, the Christian School, and the Skillset Senior College on Sheraton Road. Mayor Mathew Dickerson said being able to expand the area in the future was a huge bonus. “There have been significant announcements in relation to Southeast Dubbo,” he said. “Some large commercial developments, such as the land swap between Council and the RSL have meant there is an increased requirement for utility services in the Southeast to accommodate for the increasing growth for decades to come, so I am pleased the staff have taken the extra time to ensure the whole area is equipped to expand.” Stage 2 of the extension currently under construction, between Alexandrina Avenue and Sheraton Road, is around 1100 metres long. So far, council has installed

about 95 per cent of stormwater infrastructure, the road pavement has been constructed to the base course, kerb and guttering is complete, water mains are nearing completion, retaining walls through the hill cutting have been constructed, and the gravity sewer mains have all been installed, along with the other required underground utility services. An extensive underground low and high voltage electrical duct system has also been installed to facilitate additional connections to the Keswick Zone Substation behind Dawson Park, and new subdivisions in the area when eventually required. Major works will start next week at the intersection of Sheraton Road and Boundary Road, with the construction of a roundabout, as well as installing footpaths and streetlights. DRC CEO, Murray Wood, said he understood the community was eager to have the project finished. “It’s no secret the project has experienced a number of unavoidable delays,” he said. “A few of these have involved the high voltage solar cables from a nearby solar farm which are encased in thermal concrete, making it extremely challenging to work around.

“Many services have had to cross the mass poured concrete, which required co-ordinating the temporary shutdown of the solar farm for safety reasons. “The consultation and planning around this took time, and we appreciate the co-operation from that company.” He added the COVID-19 pandemic had also contributed to delays. “We’ve had contractors unavailable and the redeployment of DRC operational staff to the testing and vaccination clinic,” Mr Wood said. “There were also significant delays associated with the dedication of the road corridor for the project and the electrical conduits, which could not be installed until the road was formally dedicated, a lengthy process in itself.” The project is expected to be on budget. “Council was able to make some savings,” Mr Godfrey said. “For example, a large chain trencher was used to cut and remove the solid basalt hill crest. “Council saved $250,000 in materials by crushing the excavated rock and using it as select fill and sub-base material for the new road.” The project will be finished by April this year.

IT’S A RECORD! A British family has officially received the Guinness World Records title for most albino siblings. The Coventry family counts six siblings affected by the genetic condition: Naseem Akhtar, Ghulam Ali, Haider Ali, Muqadas Bibi, Musarat Begum and the youngest, Mohammed Raﬁ. “Achieving a Guinness World Records is amazing. Finally, that uniqueness that we were born with and perhaps our story will inspire others,” Naseem Akhtar said. The family members are proud of themselves and of their tight relationship, and work extensively to educate people on the condition. “One blessing was that our albinism made us closer than other siblings because we all shared something different, very unique,” Naseem said. All the siblings are affected by albinism, a genetic condition involving the production of melanin, which they inherited from their parents, Pakistani-born couple Aslam Parvez and Shameem Akhtar.

Everyone’s a social media critic THE nastiness on social media, which often delivers no consequences to the lazy keyboard warriors, is hurting small local businesses and Dubbo outlets are no exception. Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson is urging people to refrain from posting negative online reviews, as short-staffed small businesses struggle to stay open during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Small businesses are doing their best to serve their communities, despite the challenges that come with having staff in isolation and supply chain disruptions,” Mr Billson says. “The best way to support small businesses is to be a kindly customer – patient and understanding, with good and generous intent. Small businesses are run by real people who deserve our respect and empathy. “Negative online reviews can be devastating for a small business, particularly those that are struggling to recover from tough couple of years. So just put the phone away. Resist the urge to give that unfair one-star review.”

MAYBE we need a refreshing and effervescent theatrical entertainment infused with cabaret, Big Band, dance and vaudeville, and served with a slice of magic, a twist of circus and a heady mix of comedy to ease us into this new year of 2022. Well wait no more, Club Soda is on at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) this Saturday evening (January 22). In Club Soda, Mr Sandman will lead you down the rabbit hole into a surreal and magical speakeasy, serving up a cocktail of secret ingredients, shaken over ice, poured into the Collins glass of your mind, garnished with a lime wheel and topped with soda for the soul! The production is the newest concept from the creative team behind The Paris Underground Cabaret; the most successful touring cabaret production in Australia and a favourite for Dubbo and regional audiences. Club Soda promises a bubbly, refreshing critical mass of entertainment, featuring Wellington’s Tin Roof Big Band, with more than a few twists and surprises throughout the night! The Tin Roof Big Band is a subset of the Wellington Town Band which has been serving the community of Wellington in various forms since 1879 and comprises musicians from Dubbo and Parkes as well as Wellington, with occasional guest appearances by musicians from other locations.

Led by Band Master, Eric Smith, with vocals by Michelle O’Callaghan, the band is considered to be one of the premier regional big bands in Australia. The Tin Roof Big Band was conceived by Eric Smith in 2012 and has been steadily growing and improving since then. “Since 2020, the Tin Roof Big Band has strived to continue rehearsals and performances under the restrictions of the pandemic, facing a constant struggle to ensure a safe environment for both members and audience, the band has had limited opportunities to perform,” Mr Smith told Dubbo Photo News. In 2020, the Tin Roof Big Band

performed at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre for Club Local when Club Soda was unable to go ahead due to closed state borders. DRTCC have actively supported the band, for which the band members are extremely grateful. “Club Soda will be the Tin Roof Big Band’s first event for 2021,” he said. “In between amazing burlesque dancing, magic, and comedy, the Tin Roof Big Band will play a mix of tunes from classic swing and jazz, to ‘Postmodern Jukebox’ style interpretations of modern songs. “Bring a picnic and enjoy sitting in the cool of the convention

centre while being entertained by some very talented performers! Tickets are selling fast, so book your table now!” The Convention Centre will be formatted into speakeasy-style cabaret seating with tables of eight and dance floor for swing dancing. Patrons are encouraged to bring a picnic platter or order one of ours (and dress decadently if you dare!), while the Oxley Room Bar will be open throughout the night. Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7:30 start on Saturday, January 22 and the show will run for two hours and 40 mins including a break for intermission.

Treasures not trash needed for charity donations MANY householders across Dubbo and the region have taken the opportunity of lockdowns and more time at home to have a good old-fashioned clear out, and to donate unwanted items to local charities. While that generosity is welcome, there are a few things charities like Vinnies would like you to remember when you’re considering donating. With the high volume of donations coming in at the moment, the organisation is asking people to follow some easy rules so Vinnies shops – and

others like them – can deal with the mountain of stuff being donated which will ultimately help support those in our community who are doing it tough. If you want to donate items, and see a bin that’s full or a closed shop, please hold onto your donations for a little bit longer. The best way to ensure your donations will be put to good use, according to Vinnies, is to put them in a donation bin or take them into the shop. Leaving stuff outside can

mean it gets damaged and may be unusable, or it could be stolen. Also, while it shouldn’t need to be said, please make sure any items – particularly clothes – aren’t badly damaged or stained. As a general rule, clothing needs to be clean, in good condition and of saleable quality – if you wouldn’t give it to a friend, don’t donate it. To make it easier on people who process the donations, please consider packing clothes into manageable bags if possible.

Water in the bush

IT’S great to see that bush businesses are still supporting local community groups, with well-known Orange manufacturer Bushman Tanks donating a much needed water tank to the Stuart Town Action Group Inc (STAG) for their headquarters in the village. That HQ, at 40 Molong Street, is a dilapidated building with transformation renovations well under way and the local hub already accommodates a Community Centre for several groups and artists as well as a recently established food bank. Pam Gough told Dubbo Photo News that Bushman Tanks is a renowned company, noted not only for the quality of its products. “The company’s generosity is greatly appreciated as the tank is essential to our activities,” she said. “Thanks also to Peter Merryman for securing and collecting the tank to take advantage of predicted rain now that roof repairs and recent power saving panels have been installed.”

Up, up and away?

How post-Covid travel is shaping up

By JEN COWLEY AUSTRALIANS have always been keen travellers. Whether its wanderlust borne of our geographic remoteness from the rest of the globe, an innate sense of adventure or the fact that we’re just plain sticky-beakers, Aussies are renowned rovers. And it seems we may be on the threshold of a brave new world of travel thanks, perversely, to a global pandemic that has had us locked out and down for two long, passport-free years. We’re (almost) all vaxxed-up raring to go, but how exactly will it look when we’re finally able to take again to the skies and the seas? Of all the sectors to be decimated by the Coronavirus king hit, the travel industry is the one that has perhaps more than most suffered a body blow from which many of its operators will never recover. Countless inhabitants of the industry have already jumped ship, while others are still clinging to the wreckage in the hope of making landfall soon. Those organisations and agents who are able to hang on long enough – and just how long that will be is anyone’s guess – will find themselves operating in a travel landscape that has changed almost beyond recognition, particularly when it comes to leaving Australian shores. One who has managed to weather the Covid storm so far, thanks to a serendipitous decision to move into the “mobile” sphere some years prior to the pandemic, is industry veteran Sonya Hogan.

eriWith 31 years’ experiya ence under her belt, Sonya made the shift to being a mobile travel agent ninee years ago and while she doesn’t have a shop front (so none of those overheads), it does mean being “on” seven days a week. She admits it’s been a “really tough time” during the pandemic, but that her other day job as a real estate agent has helped keep food on the table. “I’m so lucky that I didn’t have a shop front and staff – there are people, really good agents, who really should be still in the industry who aren’t and likely won’t come back. The industry has lost a lot of good people,” she says sadly, from behind the laptop at her kitchen table-cum-office. The industry has been forever changed by the pandemic, she believes, the most significant of these changes to affect her business’ bottom line being the decline in the number of travel wholesalers. “We’re now having to go direct to properties instead of using, say a Qantas Holidays or Viva Holidays, which I tended to use because they’re Australian and your money stays in Australia.” Now, she says, she and other agents have been “pushed to the likes of Expedia”, which are foreign-owned with limited domesti-

cally-based staff. “A lot of the wholesalers have finished up – they just couldn’t survive Covid.” Essentially, agents have far fewer options now when it comes to wholesalers for travel experiences and accommodation, a limitation that ultimately impacts not only consumers, but the agents themselves given few hotels will pay commission when contacted directly for bookings, and agents depend on such commissions to

earn a living living. And while whi that might sound fine from a consumers’ perspective, be carep ful what you wish for, Sonya warns. “Thanks to Covid, I think agents are going to become even more important because there are so many dodgy internet companies out there and you don’t know who you’re giving your money to. “At least when you book through an agent, they’re your advocate. My phone is beside me 24/7 – if you have an issue, you can call me and I go into bat for you and sort it out. With some of those companies, once they have your money, that’s it.” Sonya cites the example of trying to secure refunds for people from some of the lesser known internet-based companies: “Eighteen months down the track, we’re still waiting for their refunds.” The job of an agent will also become much more valuable for consumers in terms of navigating the raft of diverse and evolving rules and regulations that will come with post-Covid international travel. Once the dust settles, if it ever does, and we learn to live with Covid in whatever the much-vaunted “new normal” will look like, Sonya says agents will

You can’t be complacent. You can’t just book a ticket and go to the airport anymore.” ••• FOR consumers, who are itching to get back out there, up there and over there, how will the actual experience of international travel have been changed by Covid? “You need to be even more planned than before. You can’t just wing it. You’ll need to know what PCR tests or RATs you’ll need before and after departure and arrival and when you have to have them – and which of those tests are accepted and what you need to do to get back on the plane to come home. And that’s just at the moment – who knows how it will all change going forward?” There’ll be more challenges than just arriving at a destination and working out where to go for a

taxi, she says. Additional costs will also have to be factored into the travel budget, with testing done only at the traveller’s expense. “For instance, if you’re country-hopping in Europe, you’ll need tests to cross each of those borders – it can be up to EU100 per PCR test. It can add a huge expense. “People are going to have to be aware of the extra time all these arrangements are going to take, in terms of planning and also meeting flights and so on, and also the extra cost.” Even though these considerations will add an extra layer of expense and logistics, Sonya doesn’t believe it will put international travel out of the reach of ordinary

Australians. In fact, she says, to the contrary. “We’re a resilient bunch. And we’re adventurous. “We’ve learned through Covid what’s important, and it’s about experiences. Many people have also saved money throughout the lockdowns and restrictions, and we’re just itching to go. “People are resigned to the fact that there’ll be extra expense attached, and we’ll learn to live with that.” Speaking of necessary evils, how is travel insurance shaping up? “Insurers are covering for Covid in terms of if you catch it, but they’re not covering border closures and that’s the tricky part.

If you get sick from the virus, your hospitalisation and medical expenses will be covered, but if you’re stuck because of borders closing, that’s a different case. “You’ll be relying on the airlines and the hotels to help out with cancellations and amendments.” The cost has gone up slightly, says Sonya, but the importance of travel insurance has skyrocketed. The question now is not so much can you afford it, it’s can you afford to be without it? “Doesn’t matter where you go or for how long – even if you’re going for a long weekend. You just never know what’s going to happen either there or here. The insurance will cover you if someone back here gets Covid and you need

to get back urgently. “If Covid has taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected. Things can change dramatically very quickly. “Travel insurance has always been vital. Now it’s absolutely essential. Do not leave this country without travel insurance.” ••• FOR people who are thinking they might like to climb back onto the travel bandwagon in 2022, Sonya’s chief piece of advice is “just do it”. “Don’t be afraid to book. Accommodation providers, tourist operators, airlines – they’ve all learned to be very flexible in allowing you to change dates. “There are some fantastic deals

out there – if you think you’re going, lock it in. “You’ll be advised of the cancellation fees up front so you can make your decision – sometimes it’s only a couple of hundred dollars and it’s worth taking the risk to secure some of the really cheap fares that are out there at the moment.” Her other important tip is to book through an agent. “Have that face-to-face contact. Know who you’re dealing with, not some third party that doesn’t care once they have your money. “There’s still a huge misconception that the internet is cheaper than going through an agent. I can assure you it’s not. People think going direct to the accommodation providers is cheaper – it’s not always. “When you send your money off to an agent, you know who you’re sending it to.” As an agent, she has a vested interest in encouraging people to travel, but Sonya herself is also a seasoned and keen traveller and consumer who, like many of us, is eager to dust off the passport. “We know that Covid is something we’re just going to have to live with in many aspects of our life, and travel is another. “There’s always going to be something that threatens our movements around the world – we got through SARS (virus), we survived bird ‘flu, there are conflicts that pop up... we’ll get through this as well. “We can’t stay isolated forever.”

ISSUE

Politically reluctant new hopeful WITH the nation most likely going to a federal election sometime before the end of May, there’s been plenty of speculation about likely outcomes after two years of Covid-19 restrictions and many other political flashpoints that have divided the nation, with many minor parties setting themselves up as contenders in seats traditionally held by one of the major parties. The newest party to express interest in the Electorate of Parkes is the Liberal Democrats with locals Pete Rothwell and Chris Roworth founding a local branch and staging its first public meeting in Dubbo last week. Pete Rothwell talked to JOHN RYAN why he felt he had to take time out from the farm to get involved in the political sphere. ••• What’s your background? I am a primary producer working the family farm north of Mendooran. My wife works for NSW Health in Dubbo and hence we also have a house in town. Why did you feel the need to get involved politically? I honestly wish I didn’t feel the need to get involved at all. I seriously wish the Liberal and National Parties were still representing the centre-right of politics but they have drifted further and further to the left and no longer

represent their historic base. We have also seen the demise of politicians with any conviction. Most of them seem to just stick their finger in the wind and follow where they think public support is. It appears to be all a game to them and are only worried about getting another term in government. I have become so disillusioned with the current standard of leadership in this country and instead of just becoming angry about it, I decided to actually try to do something about it. Have you had much involvement in politics at any level? I have never had any involvement in politics before. I have only had interactions with some politicians and their staffers when phoning the offices of our local members to have discussions surrounding various current issues and the overall disappointment in the direction the Liberal/Nats have been heading. Why the Liberal Democrats? I decided to join the Liberal Democrats for a few key reasons. At the core of their principles is the idea that individuals are sovereign and should be treated as such. This idea manifests itself in many ways, but importantly, points to an individual’s rights to be free and unhindered by government. This is balanced by the idea that those same individuals also have

I actually think it boils down to one major point which then manifests itself in many ways. That is, there is currently no major party that has any respect for the individual. A federal election is imminent, how do you think it will play out?

You would have to say that Labor is in the box seat at the moment. The coalition has simply been scoring too many own goals and has disenfranchised a large portion of its traditional base.

Local farmer Pete Rothwell said the last thing he's ever wanted to do was become involved in politics but he believes the bush is being let down by the major parties. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

a great responsibility in the way they carry out their day to day lives. In today’s political environment we only ever seem to hear about rights without any talk about responsibility. The Liberal Democrats are much more than just another protest party. A lot of anger is growing in the community at present over COVID mandates and government overreach. While I share the same outrage at many government decisions, that outrage comes from the failure of government to respect this initial idea about an individual’s rights and responsibilities. This idea should be entrenched in govern-

ment policy and should apply to all government policies, not just policies concerning COVID. How much interest is there locally from people wanting to get involved with the party? It’s hard to know for sure. This was our first meeting and was hardly advertised and we saw a bigger turnout than I would have imagined. I really do feel it’s up us to get our message out and raise more awareness about the Liberal Democrats offering a serious alternative. Why do you believe there is so much interest in minor parties at the moment?

There have been plenty of predictions of the demise of the two major parties (ALP and Coalition) for decades yet they almost always are able to govern from at least the lower house in their own right. Do you think things really are changing in a systemic way and not just as an aberration? I do think change is on the way. The Liberal Party has been so successful in the past because it was based on a certain set of principles. They no longer adhere to those same principles and are now bleeding numbers from their base. It’s up to parties like the Liberal Democrats to show that we are a true alternative and not just a protest party. The Liberal Democrats are building a great track record for being a true alternative and as more people become familiar with us the more we will grow.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Swift graveside action The Editor, I write to sincerely thank the Western Districts Memorial Park, Dubbo, for its response – in part – to an article which appeared in Dubbo Photo News in September 2021, written by Natalie Lewis. The story was about the condition of the lawn cemetery and headlined: “It looks like my parents are buried in a paddock”. Natalie and I were both contacted by numerous people we did not know. Some thanked us for the story because they felt the same anguish visiting their loved ones at the cemetery and to see their graves so neglected. Several shared historical correspondences outlining their concerns which they’d had with the park’s owner, the Palmdale Group, but which had come to nothing. I accused the group and the multimillion dollar company which owns Palmdale, of caring more about profits than people and their neglect resulted in the desecration of a place held sacred by hundreds of families in our community, and it was just not good enough. Now, I wish to offer them my heartfelt thanks. The Palmdale Group’s response was swift. Changes have been made at Western Districts Memorial Park and the condition of the Park’s lawn has been restored in a matter of months. Yvette Aubusson-Foley Dubbo Note: The writer works with Dubbo Photo News but writes here from a personal, family point of view.

Fact: Liberals need Nationals in order to form government. Liberals must give Nationals some “sweeteners” in order to keep them happy and on side. Let’s take a look at two new ministerial positions. Bizarre, unbelievable but true, the leader of the Nationals can choose whatever ministerial position he/she wants. (Nationals Leader and Deputy Premier) Paul Toole chose to be Minister for Police, a very powerful position. Experience: NONE – he is an ex-school teacher. Moving along. Mr Toole gets another choice. Mates – jobs for the boys – well I suppose there is a “mate” in Dubbo named Dugald Saunders. “What can I get for him?” In Dugald Saunders’ first speech in parliament he said, “My early life involved milking cows, rounding up sheep, playing with pigs, riding horses, and spending time in the shearing shed, on the tractor and feeding the chooks.” His occupation is listed as “journalist” not “farmer” but in his early childhood he lived on a farm. Minister for Agriculture should be okay! My question is, what does either of these MPs know about the ministerial positions they now occupy? I feel for the police and the farmers. The only good thing about having a “mate” as the Minister for Police is that now Dugald Saunders should not have any trouble getting more police in Wellington and making Wellington a 24hour police station. Kate Bailey, Ponto •••

Should ministers have portfolio experience? The Editor, Covid is here to stay but life must go on and we must not let Covid overshadow everything else that is going on with our state government. Police and farmers beware.

Religion’s tin ear sends moral compass spinning Greg Smart ❚ OPINION ON receiving the Order of St Sava from the Serbian Orthodox Church in 2011, Novak Djokovic remarked, “This is the most important title of my life, because before being an athlete, I am an Orthodox Christian.” He received this award for his financial support to renovate Church buildings. Djokovic also helps fund food programs for children and the underprivileged, and was made UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to Serbia in 2015. Using his wealth to support the underprivileged is commendable and contributes to his hero status in his home country. He gained his wealth through hard work. He is renowned in tennis circles for his stamina and flexibility, and his rigorous diet based on nutritional and biological science. His embrace of dietary science doesn’t extend to the science of vaccinations. “Personally, I am opposed to vaccination, and I wouldn’t want to be

forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel” Djokovic said in April 2020 after the outbreak of COVID-19. What drives his cherry-picking of science and resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine? His faith and the doctrine of his church. If Djokovic’s belief that vaccinations are an affront to God’s plan, and therefore evil, was kept to himself it would be fine. But consider that in Serbia less than half the population is double vaccinated against COVID-19, and anti-vaccine misinformation on Serbian social media increased five-fold when Djokovic was detained in Melbourne. Faith-induced false consolation and lack of critical thinking has real world implications. In an Instagram post on January 4, Djokovic declared “Happy New Year, everybody! Wishing you all health, love, and happiness in every present moment and may you feel love and respect towards all beings on this wonderful planet.” I’d take this declaration of good health and mutual respect seriously if he applied the same amount of scientific thinking to a pandemic as he applies to his diet.

Near the time Djokovic was bringing his anti-vaccination doctrine to Australia, Pope Francis, head of 1.3 billion Catholics, a nation state and claimant to the inner workings of the mind of God, bizarrely announced the keeping of pets is “a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity”. “We see a form of selfishness. We see that some people do not want to have a child. Sometimes

choice of the parent. Some people can’t conceive children (the Pope conceded adoption could be considered in this case) and some people look at our resource finite world and chose not to at all. This is the opposite of selfishness. As for the harm to humanity, the Pope needs to look into just one of the Vatican’s gilded mirrors and consider how humanity is diminished by a doctrine that claims moral and ethical behaviour is impossible without worship of an unanswerable deity, and how individuality is quashed in the praise of a God that must be both feared and loved. Falling global birth rates, especially poor African and South American countries that are the stronghold of the Catholic Church, are anathema to the creation of more Catholics. This is subtext of the Pope’s statements. The Pope makes nonsense statements like these, yet faith and its adherents demand respect for the worship of their version of divine truth. Further proof of religion being incompatible with modernity.

they have one, and that’s it, but they have dogs and cats that take the place of children.” It would of course be easy to respond by asking what right a compulsory celibate and head of an institution mired in systemic child abuse and rape has to comment about parenthood. The Pope’s comments are arrogant in their moralising and ignorant of the state of the planet. z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, The choice to be a parent is the and is a keen observer of current affairs.

' Thumbs Down to the great potential of social media when it creates a vast platform

for humans to become ever more horrible towards each other. Thumbs Down, I am absolutely ap' palled at radio announcers who continue to be so negative and do not seem to understand what a pandemic really is. It would be wonderful to put our radio on and ﬁnd some positivity and understanding of what our suppliers and employers are going through to help us, the general public. Stop playing the blame game, and let’s be thankful we live in Australia.

Thumbs Up for the PFD Foods employee to whom I am so grateful for their willing and efficient help changing my ﬂat tyre this morning.

Thumbs Up to the Shoyoen Japanese Gardens – they are beautiful, tranquil and interesting, but locals tend to take them for granted sometimes. The adventure playground nearby is also great. We are fortunate to have these facilities that are FREE, and we should use them and appreciate them.

SILLY GALAHS GO THE “HOLE” WAY READER David Elliot contributed these photos and offered this tongue-in-cheek explanation that made us smile: “You’ve undoubtedly heard the expression “silly galah”? The following photos may give some further insight. I assume the hole in the power pole looked an inviting place to excavate a nesting hollow. It was a pity the black ﬂexible “branch” was in the way and needed to be put in its place. Glad to say there was no evidence of a pink and grey roast, so this pair must have eventually become more sensible rather than sillier.”

Making a splash with sunny holiday smiles By TIJANA BIRDJAN Photos by KEN SMITH WITH the summer sun scorching in Dubbo and humidity in the air, what better way to cool off than by the pool? Dubbo Photo News visited the Aquatic Leisure Centre last week, capturing the smiles and laughter of children enjoying the poolside. Speaking to various parents, we

learned that many of the children were attending swimming lessons. “The pool provides a great family atmosphere with so many activities on offer,” Emma Naveau said expressing that the family is enjoying their school holidays. Julz Brown said her daughters enjoy coming to the pool as their confidence grows through their intensive swimming lessons. Travelling from Narromine, Dan-

ielle O’Connor told Dubbo Photo News she brings her daughters to the pool to conduct swimming lessons and enjoy the activities the facility provides. The Aquatic Leisure Centre offers a family friendly atmosphere with a range of fun activities including the slide and the splash pad. With lifeguards on deck, slip, slop and slap your way over to the pool for the last glimpse of the summer holidays.

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.

Dubbo paddlers amphibious on the Namoi By NARRABRI COURIER

NARRABRI Shire will soon have a new sport and recreation club – the Namoi Dragons dragon boat club. On the weekend, 19 members of the Dubbo Outback Dragons club came to Narrabri to introduce interested people to the sport and donated a dragon boat to launch the new venture. The visitors put their boat, with Dubbo and local crew members aboard, through their paces at Narrabri Lake on Saturday. “There was tremendous interest,” said Narrabri spokeswoman Karen Kirkby. “The visitors introduced people of all ages to the sport.” It didn’t take long for

first timers to learn the ropes and get into the rhythm of team paddling, slicing across the calm waters of the lake. When the new club is formally created Karen and local enthusiasts see a huge future for dragon boating in the shire. “We are calling the club Namoi Dragons because we want to embrace the whole shire,” said Karen. “Dragon boating is fantastic for fun and fitness – it is already well established in city, coastal and country Australia and we are confident the Namoi Dragons will just grow. “We see local sporting team members becoming dragon boaters, clubs like Rotary and Lions, corporate crews, individuals – anyone from 12-years-old

(accompanied by an adult) with no upper age limit.” Dragon boating is not only fun and great for fitness, it is a competitive sport which sees crews from around Australia contesting races regionally and nationally and in places like Singapore and San Francisco. The Dubbo dragon boaters will be coming back to train locals.

Dragons float Narrabri’s boat By NARRABRI COURIER A GENEROUS donation from the Dubbo Outback Dragons dragon boat club has launched a new sporting and recreational club for Narrabri Shire – dragon boat racing. Nineteen enthusiastic members of Dubbo Outback Dragons came to Narrabri on Saturday to introduce interested people to dragon boating – and donate a boat for a new local club – the Namoi Dragons. Dragon boating offers fun, fitness and competition racing. Now, the local organisers are looking for members and already interest is high with potential paddlers keen to sign up. Dragon boats are crewed by 22 – 10 pairs of male and female paddlers of all ages from 12 up, with a ‘sweep’ at the stern steering the course and a drummer setting the paddlers’ rating. The Namoi Dragons club has evolved from the ‘Pink Up Namoi’ breast cancer awareness and fundraising event in Narrabri last year.

Jimmy was a quietly spoken hard man

Sport Tid Bids

By GEOFF MANN DUBBO Rugby is mourning the loss of one of the most likable blokes to have worn the famous red kangaroo. James or “Jimmy” Elliott died after a freak accident on his family farm before Christmas. The tough tackling lock was a Roo from birth, his only gap when he ran out for Stannies, Bathurst, during his high school years. He followed dad Bob and brothers Paul, Robert and Anthony through the juniors and at Stannies before earning his stripes in the 2014 Grand Final at Victoria Park No 1 Oval. James was renowned for his no-nonsense defence, his fearless ball-running and strength at the breakdown. Club members joined wife Emma and the couple’s two boys Xavier and Wilfred to pay tribute to their great mate. RIP Jimmy. James Elliot (back row, four in from right) with Roos teammates, 2014.

Mark Prentice had an otherwise good day but couldn’t catch the culprit who took the money.

Dubbo Speedway rips into 2022 By GEOFF MANN

A CROWD of over 600 were treated to more spectacular action as Dubbo City Speedway club hosted the first event of the new year at Morris Park last Saturday. The feature race was the second running of the Junior Sedan Classic, presented by PRO 1 Tyres. “This category sees kids from 10 to 17 race purpose-built four cylinder cars, with all the safety standards and equipment used by senior drivers, and is a real growth driver for the sport. It develops drivers and builds confidence before they join senior divisions,” Dubbo club president Ian Boland told Photo News. The Classic attracted 80 cars from all over NSW. “It was great to have so many from all over the state – great for our Speedway and more money for businesses in our city who we rely on to keep our sports running,” Ian added., which was great for our club but also for Dubbo, given that many people stay in town and spend time and

money locally. Racing started under threatening skies but in a good sign for the year, the track was fortunate. “We watched two huge storms go around us. Just got lucky I guess,” Ian smiled. Next event – Saturday 19th February, will see the sprint cars return to Dubbo, for more info follow us www.facebook. com/DubboCitySpeedway2830
