THE QUEEN’S DUBBO THRONE

By TIJANA BIRDJAN WHEN Queen Elizabeth II’s visited Dubbo three decades ago – on February 21, 1992 – Granny’s House owner Paul Dunlop was asked to provide a royal throne for the special day. “It was an honour to be asked to use the chair,” Paul says, adding that tour organisers needed something small enough for the Queen

to do her signings. “We happened to have this one,”. Paul says he got a certificate from council as a commemoration for letting them borrow the significant chair. Paul tells Dubbo Photo News the chair was built in 1860 in a set of four, he restored the chair over 35 years ago and had it in stock. “It’s funny because now we keep it at home as a regular chair that

people sit on and it still is in very good condition,” he said. He was speaking to his daughter on the weekend and the Queen’s visit came up in conversation and he says she was excited to hear about it. “I either must never have told her, or she might’ve forgotten, but it’s an event that will always remain unique.” Paul says that when he left

school, he became a polisher and eventually enrolled in TAFE to study French polishing. Throughout his schooling years, he enjoyed woodwork and took his craft home to teach himself. Reminiscing back on the Queen’s visit, Paul says that even though there were not a lot of restoration shops, he considers himself extremely lucky to be selected to provide a throne.

Back to the present and the Queen has issued an historic Platinum Jubilee statement which ends years of uncertainty, stating that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall will become Queen Consort when Prince Charles is crowned as King. Marking her 70 years on the throne, she hopes support for the monarchy will be undiminished when Charles and Camilla continue the legacy.

Legal profession keen for Covid changes to stay DUBBO’S legal fraternity got used to plenty of changes during the worst of the Covid lockdowns with much of their court work done by remote working utilising technology such as audio visual links. Now the vast majority of solicitors who took part in research commissioned by the Law Society of NSW hope that many of those changes to legal practice and the justice system will remain a permanent part of their working lives. When asked about their views on the impact of COVID-related changes on the integrity of the justice system, less than a quarter of respondents (22 per cent), believed the changes have had a negative impact overall. Almost 1500 NSW solicitors took part in the Law Society’s online survey from mid July 2021 through to early August 2021 when the state was experiencing its second major lockdown.

Respite care cottage opens By BROOKE JACOBSON CARERS need to care for themselves and a new overnight respite cottage in Dubbo aims to help them do just that. Mudyigaali Cottage, run by HammondCare, will be the first service of its kind west of the Blue Mountains, offering accommodation 24 hours a day, seven days a week for people aged 65 years and over, including the frail aged and those living with dementia, so that those who care for them can take time out. HammondCare CEO Mike Baird officially opened the cottage. “We’re delighted to bring to Dubbo this unique model of care, based on our company’s 90-year legacy of improving the quality of life for people in need,” he said. “HammondCare’s model of care seeks to understand the needs of every individual and ensure they are met -we know that no two people are the same and their care needs are different. “Carers can have time for a break for themselves, secure in the knowledge their loved one will receive specialised care in a relaxing environment.” Mudyigaali, which means “God, the Holy Spirit” in traditional Wiradjuri language, will offer accommodation for people aged 65 years and over, who are eligible under existing government-subsidised home care, or are self-funded. Respite care is available for peri-

ods of up to 10 consecutive nights. Located in Cudgeong Place, the modern single-level cottage offers a warm atmosphere specially designed to be comfortable for older people. The home-like environment includes single rooms, wide doorways and open plan living spaces. Guests are supported with daily tasks and social activities and there is even a pool table and a home theatre room. As part of the stay, guests enjoy nutritious, home-style meals prepared fresh daily. Dubbo resident Peter Erickson, who lives with dementia, became

the first client of Mudyigaali Cottage just before the opening. His wife and carer, Sharon, said the overnight respite cottage model felt “more like a home” for her husband than other residential aged care services that offer respite. “There is nothing else quite like this in Dubbo for stays seven days a week in a cottage environment,” Mrs Erickson said. Both Mr and Mrs Erikson took part in the opening proceedings, with Mrs Erickson making a short speech and cutting the ribbon, alongside Dubbo Mayor, Mathew Dickerson.

HammondCare At Home general manager, Bay Warburton, said Mudyigaali Cottage was a “win” for both the carer and their loved ones. “When you are a carer, it’s important to take some time out to rest, recharge, or take a holiday,” he said. “What we will offer at Mudyigaali is more a homelike stay, than traditional aged care accommodation.” He said staff at the cottage, under the leadership of manager Sharon Sutton, could assist with information about eligibility and booking through My Aged Care.

SI, LOAD IS WIDE EXCUSE the Spanish, but local traffic tried to give this giant silo a wide berth as the wide load passed through Dubbo. It came from the South along the Newell Highway and turned left at the rebuilt Mitchell Highway intersection, just squeezing under the new traffic lights. It shows there’s conﬁdence in the agricultural sector, despite a prolonged wet harvest and plenty of damaged and downgraded grain around the traps.

Classes on consent help stop violence By BROOKE JACOBSON A NEW study at the University of New South Wales has highlighted some serious gaps in educating teenagers about sexual consent. Research has shown that to change the culture around consent, the education programs offered to young people should be “sex-positive” and inclusive. It’s a vital issue, particularly in the central west. Sexual assault in NSW reached record highs during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, with the Dubbo Local Government Area recording an increase in sexual assault by 44 per cent. The study conducted by researchers at the Kirby Institute and the School of Population Health at UNSW Medicine and Health identified several themes that reflected the complexities of sexual consent and issues in sex and relationships education. Senior author of the study, Dr Allie Carter from the Kirby Institute, said

sex-negativity was common in fear-based school sex education. “It’s perhaps not surprising that we found many sexual consent education programs framed consent within the context of risks and potential negative impacts of sexual activity,” she said. “This approach creates stigma and shame and can make it challenging for young people to ask questions and talk about sex and healthy relationships.” Addressing the issue of sexual assault prevention at the National Press Club in Canberra last week, former Australian of the Year Grace Tame said it was vital Australia implement “adequate funding for prevention education to stop these things before they even start.” By conducting a systemic review of studies examining sexual consent education programs among young people, the UNSW researchers identified several issues with current sexual consent education, including:  Many programs were

short, one-off, 1–2-hour sessions, and in university settings.  They often framed consent within the context of risks and potential negative, impacts of sexual activity, as opposed to healthy relationships.  Programs rarely involved young people in co-design, which is critical to meeting their needs.  Many programs were not inclusive enough and lacked diversity. On average, Australians are sexually active by the ages 16 to 17. Dr Carter said sexual consent education should be taught in an age-appropriate way from primary school to ensure young people understood – before they were sexually active – that each human being had a right to autonomy and self-determination over their own body. “It’s important to teach young people, including little kids, about consent and their bodies as young as possible – long before it has anything to do with sex – scaffolding into more complex issues with

each year,” Dr Carter said. “For example, early education can centre around learning the correct names for body parts, respecting a child’s choices about touch, teaching children to respect other people’s boundaries, asking for consent, and identifying and expressing feelings.” Dr Carter added this could lay the foundation for open, frank, and informative discussions about sexual consent with teenagers, from helping them develop empathy for others to building positive relationship skills. Researcher Olivia Burton from the School of Population Health also recommended a whole-school approach to sexual consent education, with a “consistent set of policies, principles and values pertaining to consent and respectful relationships” being promoted and embodied across a school or college. “A whole-school approach involves both formal and informal practices and conversations in and outside of the classroom, involving multi-

ple audiences across the school that includes parents, teachers and students,” she said. “Education needs to move beyond the individual and interpersonal level – where one person assaults another – and include a critical discussion of the structural and institutional environments that enable or allow this behaviour.” The researchers said changing sexual consent culture needed to be more than relying on schools to implement programs. “It needs an intersectoral approach to ensure that governments invest in progressive programming and policies to address the root causes of sexual violence at the institutional and societal level and promote social justice, sexual agency, and health,” they said.

In pursuit of justice By JOHN RYAN POLICE patrolling Lunar Avenue at about 10.30pm last Saturday (February 12) attempted to stop a white station wagon which was believed to be stolen. The driver allegedly failed to stop and a pursuit was initiated, although it was terminated a short time later due to safety concerns. Police spotted the vehicle and re-engaged the pursuit at the intersection of Wheelers Lane and Wingewarra Street before the car was stopped by road spikes deployed by police on Macquarie Street. The station wagon was rolling to a bumpy stop when it collided with the rear of a stationary police vehicle as well as a retaining wall, but the drama wasn’t quite over. The driver bolted from the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot – allegedly armed with a knife – but police officers were able to catch and arrest the man after a short struggle. During the arrest, the 28-yearold man allegedly punched one constable in the face and another constable in the head. The man was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with:  Police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously (x2)  Larceny (x2)  Take and drive conveyance without consent of owner (x2)  Use offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention (x2)  Assault police officer in execution of duty (x2)  Drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous  Learner not accompanied by driver/police officer/tester  Resist or hinder police officer in the execution of duty  Be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner  Possess prohibited drug  Dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception  Break enter house steal value, and  Aggravated break and enter commit serious indictable offence. He was also charged with an outstanding warrant for malicious damage and Riot. Police also executed a revocation of parole warrant. He was refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court.

Two friendly faces provide residential care By TIJANA BIRDJAN MOVING out or relocating at any age is challenging, especially when you must be separated from your pet as your new environment is unable to accommodate them. Moving in a residential home is no different, but Bracken House aims to ease the process by having two cats in their facility. After interviewing residents, care manager, Jodie Nelson says a lot of individuals missed their animals at home and wanted the same stimulation. Jodie brought in her five-weekold kittens, Jasper and Molly, two days a week to introduce them to the residents and the layout of the environment. “Everyone loved them and interacted with them very well,” Jodie says, explaining how she settled them into her office and after a few months they gravitated more to the tenants. “They knew they would get more food from the residents,” she laughed. Jasper and Molly regularly attend veterinary visitations and have their updated vaccinations, Jodie clarifies there are no potential diseases in the residential home. “The cats are so well looked after and we’ve definitely seen improvements in mental health since we introduced them in the

home two years ago.” Jasper and Molly are free to roam and explore every section of the home with no limitations, but Jodie says they are aware if residents do not like them. “Both of them are extremely clever and will not bother residents if they sense they are not liked,” she says, adding that one resident has claimed ownership over Jasper, whereas Molly belongs to everyone. Jodie expressed that Molly knows where she is needed and will gravitate to residents who need support. “She often understands when a resident is unwell, lonely or sad and will sit by them when they are at their final stages of life,” she continues. “Even people who don’t typically like cats are comforted by her presence.” Resident Joyce Carter says she loves spending time with the cats that often sit on her bed for her to pet. Regional manager of United Protestant Australia Western region Elaine Baillie says the cats are most active at night. Monitoring the cats’ feeding schedules is difficult, according to Elaine who says “our biggest concern is that they are getting overfed”. Before introducing the cats into the residential environment, Bracken House needed to file a care plan to ensure the safety of

both the residents and the pets. “We have birds and we have previously had chickens and fish so having animals is not new to us,” she says, sharing an anecdote about a previous therapist who would bring his dog in. “We’ve noticed an increase in positive mental health changes as some residents do not have fami-

lies that stay with us, so they rely on the cats to keep them company.” Elaine says the facility had some recent renovations to make the layout more accessible for the cats such as the outside area. Bracken House recommends that every facility should introduce two cats to interact with each other and the residents.

25,000 social housing dwellings needed IT’S almost impossible to find housing space in Dubbo on a low budget and there are claims Australia’s chronic underinvestment in social and affordable housing is worsening the housing affordability crisis and aggravating the cost to other areas of the upcoming

federal Budget. Everybody’s Home, the national campaign to end homelessness, says in a new position paper that at least 25,000 new social housing dwellings are needed in this year’s budget. The Budget Position Paper includes previous-

Where were the 1964 Olympics held? What did Aborigines use the bark from the foam-bark tree for? What is another name for a boabab? What is 900 in Roman numerals? Lauda Airlines was taken over by which carrier? What is the symbol of a 10th wedding anniversary? Which group has an album called “Room on Fire”? What book did cricketers Mark Waugh and Doug Walters co-write? Who had a hit with “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”? Where do female cicadas lay their eggs?

ly unreleased modeling which shows underinvestment in social housing is costing society big time in the form of costs to address homelessness, mental health, domestic violence, alcohol/substance abuse – that’s without including reduced household spending and lower

community wellbeing. The submission also notes that constructing 25,000 social homes per year would generate an annual economic output of $12.9 billion, and create 15,700 jobs. Everybody’s Home national spokesperson Kate Colvin said that invest-

ment in social housing was urgent and worthwhile. “A secure home is the foundation for stability and security. It means you can look after your health, tend to your family, join the workforce and contribute to society. Without a home, none of these things are possible.”

TROUBLING reports this week that the addresses of more than half a million organisations including sensitive defence contractors and domestic violence shelters were mistakenly uploaded to a public arena in a massive breach of the state government’s cache of QR code data. Premier Dominic Perrottet said the upload of data was an error and that it shouldn’t have happened. There have long been concerns from cybersecurity experts about the vulnerability of the QR Code data with hackers and fraudsters becoming ever more sophisticated in their methods. The state opposition has questioned why the data breach is being made public now, despite it being uncovered about six months ago, in September last year. NSW Shadow Minister for Customer Service and Digital, Yasmin Cately is calling for the the premier to outline exactly what actions he is taking to ensure data collected via QR code check-ins is safe. “The NSW Government has a poor track record on cyber security and this is yet another example,” she said, “These are very serious and very concerning reports.”

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.

Busy highway black spots leave drivers in the dark Upgrading our men

By STEPH ALLEN BLACKSPOTS along the Mitchell Highway have long left motorists in the dark when it comes to mobile phone service. Now, Member for Calare Andrew Gee MP says more is being done to help keep travellers connected along the highway from Orange to Wellington. “It’s important residents in our villages and small towns have the same connectivity opportunities as those who live in larger centres,” Mr Gee said. “Mobile phone coverage can save lives in an emergency, but it also has a huge economic impact. Tourists are more likely to visit an area that has coverage and po-

tential new residents are also far more likely to move into a community that has connectivity. “Having a nearby mobile phone tower helps locals access education services, conduct business, and to stay connected with family and friends. “Under the Federal Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program, 41 sites in Calare have benefitted from new mobile towers and base stations, and towns and villages from Sofala to Carcoar have received coverage for the very first time.” As a result of the program, a number of areas along the Mitchell Highway from Orange to Wellington have received coverage, yet there is more to do.

“I want to see excellent mobile reception right across the Central West,” Mr Gee said. “The Federal Government has nominated a number of sections along the Mitchell Highway between Orange and Molong with poor or no mobile coverage to receive funding under the Program. “Once a site is nominated, telcos can put in a bid for a subsidised phone tower at that location. “Unfortunately, even with hefty subsidies on offer, so far no Australian telcos have submitted a bid for a subsidised tower in those areas along the highway. The money is there, but there haven’t been any takers, which is disappointing.” Mr Gee shared concerns that

$1.62 MILLION in state funding will be poured into upgrading a significant number of Men’s Sheds across the state. A study by Beyond Blue found Men’s Shed members can fare better with general health, vitality and mental health and Australian Men’s Shed Association NSW President John Sharples said the upgrades would empower men and create renewed interest in the initiative. “We have 377 sheds in NSW with about 20,000 members. This stimulus funding will make a big difference,” Mr Sharples said. “By improving infrastructure and making workplaces better and safer, we will be able to create a supportive environment that provides opportunities for members to contribute to their Men’s Shed and the wider community.”

Work is being done to address service black spots along the Mitchell Highway.

telcos have prioritised sites that could generate greater profits. “The Government has committed a further $80 million for Round Six of the Program which will kick off later this year. I will be encouraging the telcos to put in bids for those locations,” he said. “Australia-wide, the Mobile Black Spot Program has funded over 1270 base stations, representing a total investment of over $875 million.” Residents can submit a black spot on the list for consideration by emailing andrew.gee.mp@ aph.gov.au.

Cycling for survival of others By TIJANA BIRDJAN

DUBBO’S Laura Shooter will be travelling to Thailand to ride 500km over a five-day span from Bueng Kan to Yasothon. The managing director of SJ Shooter Real Estate, her effort will be to raise money and awareness for Hands Across Water, an Australian-based charity supporting over 350 disadvantaged children across Thailand. To kick start her fundraising journey Laura will be hosting a movie night at Westview DriveIn on Friday, March 11, screening Disney’s ‘Encanto’. “This is a really exciting opportunity and provides families the opportunity to visit the Westview Drive-In a last time before they close in three weeks,” Laura said, grateful to Jason Yelverton at the Drive-In for allowing her to host the event. She says the tickets are half priced with donating and meal packages available, she says there will also be a raffle to win a kid’s bike package from Darrell Wheeler Cycles. “We also have the opportunity for people to share special photos with captions available as a package if they want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or anything else,” she said. Laura told Dubbo Photo News she selected to support Hands Across Water after attending a real estate conference with charity founder Peter Baines, saying his approach of doing good by the in-

terweaving of value for profit and for purpose resonated with her. “I really support their values by creating a sustainable future for children and making sure they have home security.” Working locally, Laura says she understands that children need a good start to their lives to survive adulthood. The event is targeted to riders in the real estate industry and

she’s excited to meet like-minded people. “I know people in Dubbo give a lot to our community and I hope this is an extension of that,” she said. “Through my work life in housing and community services and personal life through foster care and youth work, I’ve seen firsthand the connection between the home and choices kids are able to

make,” she said. The charity was established in 2005 for the children who lost their parents in the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. Laura will start training for the ride later this week to get her prepared for the 500km journey commencing on 14 August.

Alzheimer’s cost could be staggering

AS national support for Dementia sufferers lessens across Western NSW a new report from the University of Canberra’s National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) has revealed the staggering future economic cost of Alzheimer’s disease, and its impact on Australia’s workforce, patients, families and communities. The report projects a 20-year $442 billion impact of Alzheimer’s disease to the Australian economy. Lead author Emeritus Professor Laurie Brown said the number of people aged 50 and over with diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease is expected to increase by 73 per cent from 153,888 in 2021 to 266,114 by 2041, adding costs of $26.6 billion, including direct costs (aged care, hospital and out of hospital services) of $9.8 billion and indirect costs (informal care, lost productivity, and income support) of $16.8 billion by 2041. “The modelling paints a significant challenge to government, health and aged care systems into the future,” said Professor Brown. “The numbers also provide insight into the ripple effect on families and the community as they struggle to care for people living with the disease. “This is a huge challenge for an aged care system already under pressure.”

By JOHN RYAN PETER Colwell loves his Rover Saloon, not simply because it’s relatively uncommon in this part of the world, but because, he says, it’s a superior motor car. “This was the final iteration of this particular model ‘shape’, it had a few more technical features than some of the earlier models,” Mr Colwell told Dubbo Photo News. “It’s got quite a few unusual features, the engine is a beautiful, smooth, 2.6 litre six-cylinder engine with a pretty unique design and it has overhead inlet over exhaust (IOE) valves, it’s quite a unique car. “The guy that designed the engine was a highly respected engineer at the time and he really put these cars on the map and the design features all come together really well, it’s a beautiful car to drive.” One unusual feature is the way the rear doors open toward the front of the vehicle, creating a

large single opening. “The configuration of the doors, commonly called suicide doors, allows people to get in and out really easily do you can see why they had them this way,” he said. “I’ve had the Rover about 12 years, it was restored before I bought it, it was restored in Western Australia and I had it delivered over here and we’ve done quite a bit with it, we’ve been to Rover Club rallies in different parts of the country, down to Victoria and so forth. “It’s quite easy to keep the car going, there’s no shortage of parts or bits and pieces and the guys in the River Club are great, there are so many people who will help out.” Wife Kate Colwell said she’s always been interested in cars and that she loves Cars and Coffee. She told Dubbo Photo News the event is so friendly because the shared appreciation of cars creates the perfect ice-breaker when it comes to starting conversations.

“It’s a great social occasion and it’s brought me out of my shell, I used to not talk at all but here, with the cars, it gives you something in common with everyone here, male or female, the older blokes right down to the little kids,” Mrs Colwell said. “The little kids love seeing these sorts of cars because they don’t see them on the roads these days – just this morning I’ve just gone up to people and asked them questions about their car and everyone is so happy to talk to you about them, it’s really good.” Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee founder Owen De Carle was looking pretty pleased the event was finally back on after a disrupted two years of Covid restrictions. He says there’s been an incredible hunger amongst local motoring enthusiasts to get the chance to drive their pride and joy down to Victoria Park, grab a coffee, wander around and have a few yarns and just generally soak up the vibes.

“You’ve only got to look around and see how many people are here and how many guys bought their cars out, and their bikes – everyone’s ready just to get out and to get amongst it again, I think,” Mr De Carle said. He says many more locals are beginning to understand Cars and Coffee isn’t just about cars, and it’s not an event designed for rev heads. “I think initially it was just a thing for car guys but we do see a lot of the general public now just coming down and having a look and they’re wanting to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the day and talk to people but there’s still probably a lot of people who don’t realise what it’s about and who don’t understand how enjoyable it is.” And he said everyone, literally everyone, loves Vic Park. “Victoria Park, it’s just such a great atmosphere here with the trees, all the shade, the breeze and the avenue full of cars, it’s great.”

THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY SCHOOL OF RURAL HEALTH

For almost 20 years the School of Rural Health has been providing Sydney medical students in their final years of study with the opportunity to complete one and two-year extended clinical placements based in Dubbo and Orange. Almost 1000 University of Sydney medical students have been welcomed across both sites, providing the opportunity for students to develop knowledge of rural medical practice and skills for providing quality care to those in rural, regional and remote Australia. This year, the School of Rural Health in Dubbo has undergone a significant $7 million expansion to become a full graduate-entry medical program, offering students the ability to complete their entire 4-year University of Sydney Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree right here in Dubbo. Located conveniently on Moran Drive behind Dubbo Hospital and directly opposite Dubbo Private Hospital, the leafy, open-space grounds of the School of Rural Health feature brand new state-ofthe-art anatomy teaching labs and simulation training rooms, clinical skills labs, lecture and tutorial rooms, administration building, student accommodation and student recreation spaces

such as an outdoor gym, tennis court, swimming pool and fire pit. Students at the School of Rural Health enjoy the benefits of a smaller cohort size while living and working in our thriving regional city. This experience often has a lasting impact on our students who benefit from closer relationships with mentoring clinicians and get to appreciate the greater opportunities for work/ life balance that living in a regional area provides.

We are proud of the impact we are making on medical students with many graduates of the School of Rural Health returning to complete their internships in Dubbo and to practice full time in the community as GPs and specialists. We look forward to being able to open up the School of Rural Health to members of the Dubbo community in the future and showcase the fantastic facilities we have on offer to teach and train future doctors.

Hospital topping out as parking goes up AFTER years of overcrowded carparks at Dubbo hospital, some relief should be just around the corner – and up a level or two. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders performed a "topping out" ceremony, a traditional builders’ rite – he placed a tree on top of the structure. “Dubbo Hospital is now the envy of regional NSW, but with improved servic-

es you also need improved accessibility,” Mr Saunders said. “The new multi-storey car park will be accessible for patients and visitors, but crucially it will provide more staff parking, which will free up new and existing spaces closer to the hospital’s front entrance for those needing access to health services.

Last November a 40-space street level car park was opened which provides more convenient access to the hospital entry and services. With the new multi-level car park, Dubbo Hospital will have more than 350 additional car parking spaces. Construction of the new high-rise car park should be complete in the next few months.

Dugald Saunders places the commemorative tree at the top of the multi-storey car park alongside Dubbo Hospital General Manager Debbie Bickerton. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Dubbo rare earth project progressing again By BROOKE JACOBSON A DUBBO-based rare earths and metals project is a step closer after the company involved successfully completed its due diligence. Australian Strategic Materials Limited (ASM) announced this week a consortium of South Korean investors had finished due diligence on the flagship Dubbo Project. After a delay due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, ASM recently hosted a visit by the investing partnership. This included visiting the

company’s Dubbo Project and discussing ASM’s research partnerships and business activities in Australia. ASM’s managing director, David Woodall, said the completion of due diligence had “taken place in parallel with further progress on the remaining formal binding terms of the consortium’s investment”. “We are very pleased to have successfully concluded the due diligence process,” he said. “Together we are now focused on securing a significant South Korean, strategic

investor to partner with ASM on its Dubbo Project and to completing the terms for a formal binding agreement. “Our relationship with our Korean partners continues to go from strength to strength.” Spokesperson for the Investing Partnership, CEO and founder of Cerritos Holdings Co Ltd, Pumsoo Ra, said they were committed to working with ASM to finalise an investment. “It is clear that ASM has the resources and technical capacity to partner with us to support the supply chain

of critical metals needed for the production of clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles and renewable energy generation capacity, as well as advanced electronics,” Mr Ra said. “We need that supply chain to be secure and reliable, and we look forward to continuing our discussions with ASM and our partners in Korea.” A spokesperson for the company said ASM was an “integrated materials business” and emerging “mine to metal” producer of critical metals. “The company’s corner-

stone Dubbo Project is a potential long-term resource of rare earths, zirconium, niobium and hafnium,” they said. “It represents an alternative, sustainable and secure source of these metals, critical for a diverse range of advanced and clean technologies. “ASM’s metals business is founded on an innovative metallisation process that converts oxides into high purity metals, alloys and powders, using less energy than conventional methods. “The pilot plant in South

Korea has demonstrated the commercial scalability of the process and successfully produced a range of high-purity metals and alloys, including titanium, neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and zirconium. “Following this success, ASM’s first metallisation plant is under construction in South Korea to initially supply a range of critical metals, including rare earth metals and alloys, zirconium, and titanium.” ASM pledged to continue to update the market as further milestones were reached.

A safer place to live and a great place to be.

Notorious short road to be closed By JOHN RYAN

THE notorious intersection where Old Mendooran Road intersects Boothenba Road will be redeveloped and the short section of Old Mendooran Road which continues south to link to the Golden Highway will be closed. It comes after an independent Road Safety Audit (RSA) was conducted by WaySafe, an independent and fully accredited road safety auditor, following a Council resolution to commence the process to close the notorious section of Old Mendooran Road between Boothenba Road and the Golden Highway. The intersection has been linked to a number of serious and fatal crashes over the years and local residents have also complained about revheads using the intersection for extended burnout sessions while grogging on and engaging in dangerous and antisocial behaviour. But many locals had expressed disappointment that the section allowing them direct access onto the Golden Highway could be shut off, telling Dubbo Photo News it would force them to drive up to the Boothenba Road intersection with the highway and make a dangerous right-hand turn where many trucks cut across that intersection to head to the saleyards. Dubbo Regional Council’s

(DRC) first Infrastructure, Planning and Environment Committee meeting since the election passed two resolutions last Thursday: 1. That Council commence the process to close the section of Old Mendooran Road between Boothenba Road and the Golden Highway. 2. That the alignment of the Boothenba Road and Old Mendooran Road intersection be redesigned to ensure the northern leg of Old Mendooran Road intersects Boothenba Road at 90°. The options presented to councillors were:  Option 1. Do nothing.  Option 2. Realign the Old Mendooran Road approaches to Boothenba Road and the level crossing, forming a staggered ‘T’ intersection at Boothenba Road.  Option 3. Realign the northern Old Mendooran Road approach to Boothenba Road, to provide a 90° junction, and close the section of Old Mendooran Road south of Boothenba Road, including the level crossing. This would see Old Mendooran Road terminating at Boothenba Road, traffic heading to/from the Golden Highway using Boothenba Road. The Road Safety Audit can be viewed at:  www.dubbo.nsw.gov.au/ our-region-environment/ major-works/old-mendooran-road-intersection-project

Dubbo online victims get chance to speak out

DUBBO has suffered from its fair share of online bullies and locals still have time to share their experiences with the federal Select Committee on Social Media and Online Safety. The House of Representatives this week resolved to extend the reporting date for the . Committee, which has reopened submissions and is calling for interested parties to provide evidence by Tuesday, 8 March 2022. The Committee is particularly interested in hearing from young people (aged 13-18) or their representatives on their experiences with social media and online safety, and their perspectives on how online harms might be addressed. Committee Chair Lucy Wicks MP expressed her thanks to all witnesses who have so far provided submissions and appeared at public hearings, stating that the powerful accounts of online abuse have highlighted to the Committee the importance of its work. The Committee has so far conducted nine hearings with more than 50 witnesses, and received more than 70 submissions from individuals, organisations and government bodies. The Committee is now required to provide its final report to the Parliament on March 15. For more information about this Committee, you can visit its website: tinyurl.com/aus-onlinesafety

A few years ago, when world travel was commonplace and far simpler than in the Covid era, Bill and Janice Stanford journeyed up the Orinoco River by canoe into the jungle of Venezuela, a remote area where there are no roads and is only accessible by water. “We stayed in an eco-camp in the jungle amongst the people known as the Warao Indians,” Mr Stanford told Dubbo Photo News. “During the days they escorted us into the jungle proper, looking for sloths and other creatures. “It is lovely going silently along the waterways in a dugout canoe but not on foot as we did from time to time.” On one journey, after 50 minutes slogging

away through jungle with their guides using their machetes to cut through the undergrowth, walking in swamp-like glue up to their knees that sucked them down, with trees and vines impeding their progress and restricting sight to mere metres, the couple was grateful when they came across the exposed roots of gigantic trees they could use as stepping-stones. Mr Stanford said tall trees completely eliminated all the ordinary daytime sunlight and subjected the party to suffocating heat and stifling humidity. “We were wringing wet with sweat, our clothes and bodies entirely soaked to the skin, however it was worth the effort,” he said. He’s proud of this image which is a sou-

venir of their adventure, what he described as a “fascinating creature we came across”. “The image of this creature has been captured and then en-

hanced by the use of Electron Microscopy, which is a technique for obtaining high-resolution images of much greater magnification than a normal light microscope,” he said.

“It is regularly used in biomedical research to examine the indepth structure of biological materials. “This strange-looking creature is your everyday ant.”

Maroon Toad found in Dubbo

Queensland toad invades Blues’ territory. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By JOHN RYAN A CANE toad found in Dubbo has sparked warnings for local residents to be alert for invasive pest species. It’s believed the toad hitched a ride on a truck travelling south from Queensland and was quickly captured and reported to the NSW Department of Primary Industries exotic pest helpline. Agriculture minister Dugald Saunders said it was quick work to round up the

toad but he’s encouraging locals to stay alert and report any potential cane toad sightings as soon as possible. “Cane toads are a serious biosecurity threat to all of NSW as they can cause devastating impacts on our native wildlife and biodiversity, and pose serious threats to domestic animals as well,” Mr Saunders said. “Although this toad was reported and captured very quickly, it doesn’t mean that an incident like this can’t

happen again, especially with more interstate travelling taking place following the reopening of state borders. “Those travelling from cane toad infested areas such as Queensland or the Northern Territory should check their vehicles, trailers and luggage before entering NSW to ensure they are not carrying one of these unwanted passengers.” If locals do spot a suspected cane toad it’s advised they should wear gloves, pro-

tective clothing and glasses when attempting to catch it and keep it closed in a well-ventilated container with a little water until the species can be determined. Any suspected cane toads should be immediately reported to NSW Department of Primary Industries Biosecurity through its helpline on 1800 680 244, by completing the online form, or emailing a photo of the face and details to invasive.species@dpi. nsw.gov.au.

ART IS LIFE

The evolution of art By TIJANA BIRDJAN

Western Plains Cultural Centre curator Kent Buchanan. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

BUSINESS SENSE

Three benefits of hiring locally TECHNOLOGY makes it possible for companies to hire employees from all over the world. Though many businesses are looking overseas to expand their workforce, others are going in the opposite direction and focusing their efforts on investing in local talent. Here are three good reasons to hire locally. 1. You’ll boost the local economy One of the biggest advantages of hiring locally is that it creates jobs and provides training opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise be available. This helps keep money in your community and strengthen the local economy. 2. You’ll grow the company

Hiring locally ensures your staff have a deep understanding of the local market, making it easier to bring in new business. In addition, a local hire will likely be more invested in helping your company succeed since it beneﬁts their community. 3. You’ll simplify the hiring process If you hire locally, there’s a good chance you already know someone who either fits the bill or knows the right candidate. This streamlines the hiring process and ensures you get the right people for the job. Overall, hiring homegrown talent is good for business and your community too.

WORKING at the Western Plains Cultural Centre for the past 24 years, Kent Buchanan has seen the facility develop and represent a wide cross section of art. After graduating art school in Sydney, Kent returned to his hometown of Dubbo and started volunteering at the centre. From there, he has excelled in his career and is now the curator of the facility. Kent tells Dubbo Photo News he is easily inspired through conversing with various types of people about his passion and observing their knowledge grow over the years. “It’s really fulfilling to present topics and introduce people to a wide cross section of art, design and history in one centre,” Kent says. According to Kent a lot of young people are coming into the space and evolving their passion for art. “Younger people are becoming more involved in art both consciously and unconsciously” he continued, stating many people are interested in expressing themselves and are enjoying art without realising. Through popular culture and advertisements, art is visibly more apparent especially through the lockdown period when people consumed various sources of books, music and tv. Kent said he commenced art school after graduating from Dubbo High consumed by his

passion for films. He shares his dream of being a filmmaker, so he sympathises with the lack of work the music and film industry had during the lockdown period. “It’s really to witness as we were all hooked on those modes of art,” he said, hoping people can see the importance of art using different platforms in our culture to obtain a healthy and creative society. Kent shared an anecdote when he delivered a video conference speech to schools from regional communities. “I did a long talk about art. Everything from the importance of art and how it can make you see the world differently and at the end of the conference a young boy came up to me and said, ‘I really want to thank you, you have completely changed the way I think of art’,” Kent expressed. From that moment, he says, “I knew what I was doing had value and that it affected people.” Kent reflects that the memory still stays with him, and he hopes the boy still carries that moment. Speaking of his challenges throughout the years, Kent reminisces on a hunting project that was brought to life a few years ago. “The project engaged with hunting culture and the artists wanted to photograph women who live on properties and hunt,” remarking that throughout the project he and the team received death threats from animal rights

activists. “It was the hardest thing we had to work on, but in the end, it was a huge success,” he said, mentioning how the audience and council galvanised and came together. According to Kent the project was not about hunting culture, but the role of women in rural environments. He says he steers clear of anything that is needlessly controversial or offensive, but he appreciates the importance of creating discussion and generating a wave of ideas in a safe environment. “The gallery should remain a space which is open and free for people to vividly express themselves.” He understands the contentiousness, however, but maintains the gallery space is one of the last forums for people to gather and speak. Kent says the gallery has progressed greatly and is recognised by national institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW and Powerhouse Museum for not being afraid to present projects. “This really is a fantastic facility which I am very proud of, and it has enriched Dubbo’s life,” he said. The centre works two years ahead of scheduled exhibitions and is excited to share what is coming up. “This facility has a great team of people supporting it which foster extremely talented people.”

Coaches inspire community club spirit By TIJANA BIRDJAN ENCAPSULATED by the competitive dance industry from the age of six, Orana Physical Culture coach Sarah Lucan started the club alongside her colleagues. Establishing in 2018, Orana Physical Culture has opened up new avenues for Dubbo girls looking to participate in the sport. “Physie was my entire life since I was a young girl,” Sarah explained, and the only time she took a break was when she had a baby. “I knew I wanted to return to the sport,” she said, “I have always thought about coaching and thought this was the perfect opportunity,” Sarah and the other coaches divided classes into separate age groups to focus on strengths targeted specifically to age. Every age group has their syllabus which is age appropriate, Sarah spe-

cifics that some of the tricks are more complex than others so it is vital to split the girls in aged categories when teaching. Physical culture is an age inclusive sport that faces no discrimination with children participating to groups over 60 years of age. Sarah’s coaching group ranges from 13 to 15-year-olds with an aim to see the girls improve year by year. “We really want to implement that physie is a sport for life,” she continues that most of the women who commence the sport at a young age are attracted to it late in their 30’s. She cherishes her lasting friendships that she had made from her teenage years that have followed her into adulthood and hopes the same for the younger girls she is training today. According to Sarah, instructing over zoom and media platforms was challenging at times, but the girls were very consistent and passionate

to continue the sport. Sarah tells Dubbo Photo News that her most appreciated memory is getting third place at the national finals at the Opera House at the age of 17. She mentioned that w3as her personal performing highlight, whereas through her coaching career she admires seeing the progression of girls year by year. “It’s not all about the results of course,” she said all the girls I’ve taught have done their best and that means more than any award. “Girls grow a lot mentally through physie as well with their resilience and community-based spirit,” Sarah added. “We try to implement in our girls that if you fall down – you pick yourself up and do it again. “The club is extremely supportive of everybody who passes through”, she continued to say it is a rewarding feeling.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Goat duffers RURAL Crime Investigators at Dubbo are asking for anyone with information about a goat theft at Burroway to contact them. The goats were taken from a property on the Eumungerie Road, Burroway on February 18. The missing goats are 20 x 2020 and 2021 drop rangeland goats – mixed sex – mostly brown and black colours with yellow NLIS ear tags with PIC NG220188 engraved along with two seven to eightyear-old Boer nannies – one red in colour – one white and brown in colour – yellow NLIS ear tags with PIC NG220188 engraved. Anyone with information can contact Rural Crime Investigators at Dubbo on 02 6883 1570 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 – email crimestoppers.com.au.

Fireﬁghters helped clean up the scene after a vehicle smashed down a tree right outside Dubbo Police Station.

Fatal crash out west A 60-YEAR-OLD man was killed about 1pm on Monday, February 14, after the white Toyota Hilux he was driving left the road, hit a table drain and rolled on Yarrandale Road, about 15km north of Hermidale. The driver died at the scene. Officers attached to Central North Police District established a crime scene and commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash. As inquiries continue, anyone who witnessed the crash or who has dashcam footage from the area, is urged to contact police. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

Pursuit charges in a trance POLICE have charged three people after a pursuit in the early hours of last Saturday – the first of two in the city within a 24hour period. According to police, at about 12.45am on February 12, Mt Druitt Highway Patrol officers were conducting proactive patrols in Dubbo as part of Operation Trance when they attempted to stop a white Mahindra XUV wagon on Erskine Street which they believed to be stolen. When it failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated through several streets before heading south on the Newell Highway, police allege. About 90km south of Dubbo the wagon ran out of fuel causing it

to leave the road before colliding with a fence and tree. Police say the driver and two passengers exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot before they were arrested in a wheat field nearby. All three were taken to Dubbo Police Station. The driver – a 28-year-old man

– was charged with drive conveyance taken without consent of owner, police pursuit - not stop - drive at speed, carry cutting weapon upon apprehension, possess prohibited drug and goods in personal custody suspected being stolen. Two female passengers – aged 25 and 30 – were charged with be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner. The man was refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court today (February 17). The two women were given conditional bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on March 30.

Gil house fire FIREFIGHTERS rushed to Waugan Street in Gilgandra around 7.30pm on February 13 after reports of a fire and found the house fully alight. Firefighters in breathing apparatus from a pumper and tanker began to battle the blaze but could not enter the home as the intense heat caused a partial roof collapse. Crews prevented the flames from spreading and ultimately extinguished the flames around 9.20pm – there were no occupants in the house. NSW Police are investigating the cause of the fire. Superintendent Scott Dodson from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) said this fire is a timely reminder that calling Triple Zero (000) for a fire emergency can be the difference between life and death, or a building or other property being saved or destroyed. The Triple Zero (000) service is the quickest way to get the right resources to an emergency.

Car into tree MONDAY mornings aren’t regarded with great favour by most people and the driver who smashed into a tree in the middle of Brisbane Street just outside the police station about 9.15am probably agrees with that sentiment. Firies from Dubbo 280 Station were quickly on the scene and joined with police to assist the driver and clean up the scene. According to the emergency services on-site, the driver was very lucky to escape with no serious injuries, the car not so lucky.

Alleged aggravated breakin – charges laid POLICE have charged two people following an alleged break-in af-

ter a forced entry into a home on Torryburn Way, Dubbo on February 9 at about 2.30am. Officers will allege three people entered the home and stole a wallet, a tablet, a mobile phone and keys before fleeing the location in a gold Ford sedan belonging to one of the occupants. Four people were home asleep at the time and were uninjured. Later that morning, about 7.30, police sighted the vehicle on Myall Street and arrested a 15-year-old boy outside a home and a 26-yearold man in the car – they were taken to Dubbo Police Station and the vehicle was seized to undergo forensic examination. Both were charged with aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence people there, steal motor vehicle, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner and goods in personal custody suspected being stolen. As inquiries continue, police are appealing for anyone with information, including dashcam or CCTV footage from the area, to contact local police. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Don’t be an easy target

Diesel is returning to Dubbo By TIJANA BIRDJAN RETURNING to Dubbo, Johnny Diesel is excited to announce his arrival performing his new album ‘Alone with Blues’ threaded throughout with his greatest hits. Diesel shared he’s looking forward to performing in the Western Plains once again, especially in the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. “If I was to pick my favourite venue to perform in it would be the theatre,” he laughed, saying he doesn’t need to fight with the room as it is a great canvas to work with. He is excited to play ‘Lost and Lookin’ live as it features a double bass, and admits it’s special to him as he doesn’t get the opportunity to do that too often. Diesel will be incorporating his greatest hits with his blues’ tunes to interweave his many eras into one performance. “I really enjoy playing hits as I can reinvent them for myself.,” adding his wandering curiosity allows him to bend records with the artistic freedom of his decades of experience. “Even sometimes I think – are people going to be into this?” Diesel told Dubbo Photo News he began working on the record as an avenue to keep motivated during last year’s lockdown. He says he had to rearrange his tour dates from the last release, but he says he was very privileged as he continued recording. “I’m very lucky that I have a studio at home, so I had access to all my instruments,” remarking he got to experiment with other instruments including drums, harmonica and cello.

“It was a very different way of making music to me,” and while he admits his usual routine would consist of people listening to the recording, this time only his brother got to listen to the record before the release. Diesel explains being an artist, there’s an expectation of a linear schedule – an industry standard of releasing music and touring: he says it was “quite jarring not having a schedule to follow – I felt unemployed. “I admit I’m very biased when I say this and I’m looking through rose-coloured glasses, but I feel like this industry is full of people who love what they do,” he said, feeling blessed that he has the opportunity to meet new people and

hear and create new music that heals people. He says everyone’s circumstances were different through the lockdown, but he used it as an opportunity to embrace it and check in with others. When Diesel got the chance to perform in front of a crowd once again, he said it was extremely difficult. “We did outside shows with lots of medical staff around us while getting tested a few times a day,” a surreal experience as there was no opportunity to speak to people. “It was great because I finally had the chance to perform again,” he adds. After releasing 17 records, Diesel says he is constantly trying

By JOHN RYAN

to engage the audience and keep their interest peaked. “It’s like a long-term relationship,” he compares it to, “you still want them to like you, and ultimately love you so you need to always put effort in. “Sonically I go down a rabbit hole each time,” adding that he loves his work and that he keeps healthy through it. Diesel told Dubbo Photo News he has a touring ritual of going for a run when he is in town to perform – upon hearing this, I suggested the Tracker Riley Cycleway along the Macquarie River. Surprisingly enough, Diesel does not listen to music while running, but writes lyrics using all his senses. “I like to feel connected to the towns and places I’m in and hopefully talk about it when I perform,” he continued, saying that Indigenous culture is connected to their land and the Western culture should embrace it. Diesel’s goal with his newest release is to show new listeners that blues music does not have to be slow: he says he interweaved a lot of pop elements to introduce a new audience. He compares his blues album with a new piece of furniture, “when you buy a new piece, you need to make sure it will suit everything else you have in your house – that’s what I do with my music to ensure works complement one another.” Johnny Diesel will be performing at the Dubbo Regional Theatre on Sunday, February 20 at 8.00pm.

ORANA police believe the easiest way to solve many volume crimes is to prevent that crime from occurring in the first place and have issue four simple steps to secure your vehicle: z Remove keys and lock vehicle; z Do not leave vehicle keys on the floor, in the ignition, in the centre console or on the passenger seat of the vehicle; z Remove all valuables (wallets, handbags etc) from your vehicle prior to locking your vehicle; z Never leave your vehicle running when unattended. You may only be away from your vehicle for a ‘minute’, however, a minute is all a criminal needs – many times it’s an ‘opportunity’ crime, where a crook is walking past your car (always on the lookout for easy pickings) and if a window is down and a wallet is lying in the console, that’s all they need.

IT’S A RECORD! Zara Rutherford (Belgium) is ofﬁcially the youngest person to circumnavigate the world by aircraft solo (female), completing her ﬂight around the world at 19 years and 199 days. According to Guinness World Records, the teen pilot went to amazing lengths to pursue her dreams, and completed the circumnavigation of the globe on Thursday, January 20. During her attempt, Zara also broke the record for the youngest person to circumnavigate the world solo by microlight. Through this expedition, Zara aimed to raise media awareness for STEM-related businesses, and hopes to help reduce the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as well as in Aviation. “Only 5 per cent of commercial pilots are women, and 15 per cent of computer scientists are women! That’s an extremely low number considering these are amazing careers with wonderful opportunities,” Zara said.

WALKING along Macquarie Street you might have noticed fencing in front of a brick building next to the Dubbo Gaol preparing for demolition. AGH Demolition and Asbestos Removal foreman Steve Watson said the asbestos was removed on Friday. Currently the team is removing the carpet, plaster and the external til-

ing along the roofs to get the building ready for demolition. Steve said the knockdown will commence in two weeks when the internals are stripped and disposed of. Being in the industry for over 39 years, Steve mentioned he collects a lot of items he discovers on his projects. “I found sandstone bricks made by convicts which have patterns of

engraved hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds,” he continued saying he found those collectables on a Sydney site. The demolition is expected to take eight weeks with a new open park space to replace the building. “It’ll be a nice feature to have an open park on the main street and will brighten up the Gaol a lot,” Steve said, adding the park will include benches, tables and areas of shade.

It’s a Classic – and it’s back! By JOHN RYAN THE region’s biggest and best fishing comp is back after an enforced break thanks to years of drought and Covid-19 restrictions. Australia’s fishing conservation charity, OzFish Unlimited, has launched a new Chapter in Wellington and that crew will host the 2022 Burrendong Classic this Easter. The Classic, founded in 2010 by Inland Waterways Rejuvenation Association (now Inland Waterways OzFish Chapter) is a catchand-release fishing competition that raises funds for waterway initiatives, including fishing education and habitat restoration. The competition has been incredibly successful and after nine years of running the Classic and building it up to a 3000-person-strong event, the Inland Waterways OzFish Chapter decided to hand the event over to another group of fishos to run. OzFish Wellington Chapter secretary John Ahsee says the new group is looking forward to taking on the Burrendong Classic. “As local anglers we established the Wellington Chapter because we have a vested interest in our fish and the local waterways – we all know healthy waterways make for much better fishing,” Mr Ah See said. “We have attended the Classic in previous years, which has had thousands of recreational anglers entering the competition. People turn up in droves to camp along

the shores of Burrendong to support this event. “Running the Burrendong Classic makes sense because it encourages sustainable fishing practices, and all funds raised will be reinvested into our local waterways.” The chapter plans to use funds raised from the competition to help recreational fishers in Wellington promote sustainable fish-

ing, undertake river clean-ups, and increase the capacity of the rivers to carry more native fish stocks. Chapter President Norm Wilson and his executive team will continue the tradition of holding the fishing competition over the Easter weekend, this year falling on April 15 – 18. The Wellington Chapter invites local recreational anglers to join

the Chapter and work alongside community partners towards creating a healthy, vibrant and more productive fishery. This chapter’s establishment has been supported as part of OzFish’s Growing River Stewardship Project assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environment Trust and BCF – Boating, Camping, Fishing.

Covid support for Aboriginal families

ABORIGINAL families in Dubbo and the broader region are set to benefit from $5 million in state government support funding aimed at keeping Indigenous families and communities safe and connected to critical services during the Covid-19 pandemic. Aboriginal Affairs minister Ben Franklin said directly investing in Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) is making a real difference to communities, many of them in remote and regional locations. “We know that Covid has had a significant impact on our Aboriginal communities across the state,” Mr Franklin said. “Providing funding to Aboriginal communities and ACCOs is vital to ensuring everyone across the State has access to essential services to keep them physically and socially well, while also remaining connected to the places and people most important to them.” Mr Franklin said today the COVID-19 Aboriginal Community Response Grants Program is being extended for another three months until April 29, 2022. Funding of between $1,000 and $10,000 will be available to ACCOs across NSW to support social, emotional and physical wellbeing, as well as responding to immediate needs in Aboriginal communities.

Phone ﬁx vital NSW Farmers Vice President Xavier Martin believes phone communications are vital for regional, rural and remote Australians and is calling for more than a ‘band-aid fix’ on phone woes. A new national report on telecommunications has made 12 recommendations for change and Mr Martin said they brought the issue into sharp focus. “The independent committee reporting on Australia’s telecommunications system compared the need for digital access to the need for electricity, which is not far off the mark and indicates how rapidly we have come to depend on reliable connectivity,” Mr Martin said. “Covid-19 accelerated the need to be able to be connected from anywhere, and there’s a real opportunity to bring regional, rural and remote Australia up to the same standard as urban centres.” The recommendations cover the need for a longer-term approach to telecommunications in the bush, as well as a pressing need for stronger investment and greater resilience in phone and data infrastructure.

OPENING the facility in 1922 with only two education rooms and a few trees in the yard, Rainbow Cottage Childcare celebrated 30 years of operation on Monday. Coordinator Anne Keen has worked in the facility for 26 years and said the childcare centre has improved immensely since she began. “A bit of the yard was a vacant property, so we bought that and added a playground and other equipment for children to play with,” she continued, saying there was an expansion of rooms to facilitate more children. “Community childcare is a challenging industry and there is a high need for valued educators,” and she highlighted that having experienced educators is vital to support the professional development of the industry. Rainbow Cottage Childcare has a parental advisory committee to help with fundraising and policy making. The childcare is inclusive to the need of every child: Anne mentioned in the past five years the childcare has been offering traineeships that eventually lead to full-time positions. “Some of the trainee’s we’ve had have been magnificent with managing the children,” she said. “We’re a small and family orientated business based off a great sense of community.” Anne believes every parent

looks forward to sending their children and their younger siblings to the facility. Room leader in the echidna room, Rebekah Dowling, has been at the centre for more than 13 years and hopes to continue working for another 13 years. Mentioning the facility has improved a lot aesthetically over the years, Rebekah said there has been development in policy and learning. “We changed our approach to educate the children with an all-play learning advocacy – this makes learning fun, and we can accommodate it to each child,” she said. Rebekah told Dubbo Photo News her job consists of the occasional trip to Kmart and searching for props in the storage room. “We have a lot of technology in the centre to help with special needs children as well,” she shared. Rebekah said her favourite memory in the centre was when she held eye contact with a child with special needs after being told that was his challenge: “I teared up that night – it brought me so much joy.”

Order of Australia Medal “Detective Sergeant Mark Anthony MEREDITH Dubbo NSW 2830 For service to the community through a range of organisations.” That’s the line that saw Mark Meredith awarded an Order of Australia Medal in the recent honours list but it doesn’t provide a fraction of an insight into the decades of service this well-known senior police officer has given to the community. A local boy through and through, ‘Mero’ sat down with Dubbo Photo News’ John Ryan as we went through his life immersed in the Dubbo community. ••• Tell us about the OAM. Was it a surprise? It was a huge surprise. I knew I had been nominated and that in itself was very humbling and a proud moment to think that I had made an impact on someone obviously close to me to take the time to put my name forward. You’re a Dubbo boy, tell us about growing up in this community. I am a Dubbo boy and extremely proud to call this city my home. I went to school at St Lawrences, then St Johns Primary and Secondary and finished off years 11 and 12 at Dubbo High School. This community of ours is tight and protective of each other. I found that growing up. In the late 70s and then into the 80s everyone (Dubbo locals) knew everyone and had each other’s backs. Those days it wasn’t the large city it is now as we have grown and come so far. We all socialised together, played together, went to school together and played sport together. I might add we all got into trouble together but I won’t elaborate further or I could embarrass myself and my friends. We were and remain a proud and strong sporting city and our achievements speak for themselves. I absolutely loved rugby league but wasn’t blessed or had the opportunities of other Merediths (family and cousins) that made a name for themselves in the sport. I was educated a “Fishy” as they called us, so I played a bit for Dubbo CYMS, but I guess my schooling with Dubbo High allowed me to play with some talented footballers in Astley Cup. We had a great side, an unbeatable side really back in the early 80’s. The likes of John Hughes, Allan Dunn, Ian Naden to name a few. I later became heavily involved in touch football and I still play and referee today. Although the aches and pains are way more frequent. Touch footy is a wonderful sport and involves all ages and has become a family focused sport in Dubbo.

What were your first jobs? When I left school, I worked for Grace Bros in Dubbo and later Myers as a trainee manager. Predominately working in menswear and childrens’ wear under the guidance of Doug Carrett, Donny Priddis and Jean Fields. Extraordinary people that shaped my life in so many ways. I was later approached by Allan Cooper and his father George to come work in mens’ retail with them. This was an amazing time with the opening of George Coopers Apparel in Endeavour Court. The store was ahead of its time and George, along with Allan, had so much experience and ideas for menswear in Dubbo. We prided ourselves in the suit trade and tailoring where George Cooper was a stalwart in the industry. What did you want to be when you were at school? I wasn’t really sure on what I wanted to be while at school. I was an avid motorcyclist and raced motocross and short circuit pretty well all over NSW as a teenager. I was locally backed and sponsored by Dubbo businesses and that reiterates our city’s support of their sportsmen and sportswomen. When did you first think about joining the police force? I had thought of joining the police force periodically while growing up and working but years ago there were height restrictions which ruled me out by an inch and a bit (I can laugh now!). However, that all changed in the late 80s, so I thought why not give this a go? I just loved the way that the job would never be boring or repetitious, everyday was different and that appealed to me. In 1986/87 I attempted to join the NSWPF but I hit a hurdle due to suffering asthma as a child and I was medically knocked back. So I trained and got as fit as I could and re-applied in late 1987 and was accepted. I commenced study at the Goulburn Police Academy in January 1988. Tell us about your career? My career has been nothing short of a fairly tale, really. To reflect now, I would not change a thing. I returned to my hometown of Dubbo at the end of March 1988. I was firstly posted to Mudgee but made a swap and commenced my duties as a Probationary Constable in my home town. At that time Dubbo had tremendous career police officers, career general duties sergeants and senior constables that would take you under their wing and teach you street smarts, camaraderie, and all about the “job” (good and bad). It really is a blue family without a doubt. These cops taught you the right way and instilled confidence and professionalism in what you were doing. I continued in general

duties for about seven and half years but I knew I wanted to be in plain clothes. I dearly wanted to be a detective. So I did my time and applied and studied and was successful in fulfilling a lifetime goal. To this day, I remain in the detectives as the Investigations Manager (formally the COD – Chief of Detectives). I wanted to be like and mould myself from the great detectives that I worked with. Alex Pollock was my COD, Geoff McKechnie, Doug Gott and Gary ‘Gus’ Collett were born leaders and extremely talented

investigators. To be able to be guided and mentored by them and so many others was such a privilege. I remained in Dubbo as a cop was destined to stay here. I made a promise to my Nan (Kath Bush) that I would never leave while she was alive. Ironically, but not surprisingly, she lived to the wonderful age of 102. She had the last laugh. So I stayed and I’m happy I did. I married my wife, Elizabeth Perry, and we had three extraordinary children. I soon will have six grandchildren so I have no thoughts of going anywhere in the future.

Most rewarding jobs? The most rewarding jobs are those of helping people and providing support and comfort knowing that if they need the police, we will be there 24/7. There are so many significant jobs that I could discuss but I won’t be specific as some may open old wounds of families and that’s not respectful to victims of crime. There is so much work that our police do that we don’t want to highlight or make mention of the tragic incidents or various categories of crimes being committed. We just want you to live your life,

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

“belongs to Dubbo” work and spend precious time with your loved ones, knowing that your police are doing their very best to keep you safe and protect what is most valuable to you. Worst jobs? Worst jobs are the many I don’t talk about. They are bundled up and boxed, only on occasions the lid may open and I horribly remember the stuff that will never go away. Having to tell a family about the loss of a loved one, tragic and traumatic incidents that I argue with myself the “what ifs” and the “whys”. I never get the answer I’m forever searching for. How many mates have you made during your career? I cannot put a figure on the lifelong friends I have made throughout my career. We really are that “thin blue line family”. Michael Willing immediately comes to mind. He is like a brother to me. I am his daughter’s (Ava) godfather and we spend time together and talk regularly. Michael has achieved so much in his life and I know there will be new chapters commencing for him and I wish him lifelong success. He will thrive and excel on whatever opportunity arises I have no doubt. How good is it to have former workmates and other colleagues scattered throughout the state? I have made friends in this job that are scattered far and wide. Internationally, interstate and across this wonderful state of NSW. These friends are the first to contact or be on your doorstep if you ever need them. How has the job changed since ‘87/88? The job has changed so much. We, the police, are so much more accountable today and I have no problem with that. I think from my perspective, not just the police but society seems to have

lost our way. We don’t respect each other the way we all used to years ago. I’m not sure what the reason is. However, society has changed with the influence of illicit drugs on our young people and the necessity for them to commit crime to fulfil their drug habits. Red-tape for police has certainly increased from the late 80s but that is the same for many and diverse or organisations both government and non-government. You’ve had a lifetime involvement with Macquarie Raiders? Macquarie Raiders RLFC is yet another blue family very close to my heart. Again the Raiders’ family has been with my family and myself through great times and the very worst times. It’s a family club and everyone involved cares for the club and what it stands for. This was paramount when we lost one of our most admired players, my son, Perry (Pez) Meredith. This shocked and hit everyone hard. This club cried together, grieved together and moved forward together...we all will forever remember him. His toughness, his cheekiness and his charisma. The Raiders mean so much to me, not only because Perry Meredith was a special part of this proud club but my family has so much history here. My father in law (the late) Barry Perry was a legend of the club, a life member. My brother-in-law, Michael Perry was a tremendous player for the club and went onto play NRL with the Balmain Tigers. My brother, Guy Meredith played for the Macquarie Raiders under the coaching of Jim Kelly and later went onto play with the Manly Sea Eagles. Now my son, Jarryd, has taken on my past role of President and taken over the reins. The Raiders are in a very good place and I’m so

 Having to tell a family about the loss of a loved one, tragic and traumatic incidents that I argue with myself the “what ifs” and the “whys”. I never get the answer I’m forever searching for....  proud of Jarryd, to be involved in the club that his brother and pop played for is so rewarding for me. I’m a very proud Dad that’s for sure. No doubt Pez would be hassling his brother for increased match payments if only he was still wearing the blue jersey. Touch footy has also been a big part of your life? Touch football and the Dubbo Touch Football Association has been so much part of my life for years now. Mathew Dawson is a cousin of mine and one of my greatest mates. We have encouraged and nurtured young kids into playing touch for Dawson, it seems like a lifetime. My kids, Dawso’s kids and others have all come through the ranks and gone onto play representative touch around the country. Through the police in the early days, I captain-coached representative police sides where we represented the NSW Police Force in the Australasian Police Games in New Zealand and the Police and Fire world games in Melbourne. We came home to Dubbo wearing a bronze medal, awesome effort by our team. You’ve been a volunteer and advocate with LIVIN for the past six years – tell us how that came about and why you felt so strongly about supporting this very worthy cause? I met Sam Webb (Founder of LIVIN Org) when he presented

at a seminar on mental health at Apex oval. This occurred a very short time after losing my son Perry to suicide. Liz and I were very much still raw and grieving and I didn’t want to attend. I didn’t want to discuss or listen to anyone. However, we felt compelled to go and listen. That experience resonated with Liz and me, and we chatted with Sam for ages. He listened to our story and we listened to his. I realised then that we were not walking alone in this heavy fog. As time went on Sam became a great friend to my family and we initiated the Perry Meredith Tradies Breakfast thanks to Pippa at Ingenia Gardens in Dubbo. Pippa is such a close friend of ours and we love her and so did Pez. Covid has not been kind to any of us and unfortunately we have not been able to have our annual Tradies Breakfast for a couple of years now. Hopefully on Saturday the 26 March 2022, the Tradies Breakfast remembering Perry Meredith is back on. So, on that day all are welcome to come have a bacon and egg roll and come together to just talk. “It ‘aint weak to speak” is the LIVIN moto and we invite everyone to come and participate, have brekky, purchase brik-a-brat, you can donate and purchase raffle tickets for prizes. Tradies and sports people are very welcome and encouraged to attend with friends and families. We all know that mental (ill) health does not discriminate and unfortunately touches way too many people and the ripple effect is ever-lasting. Dubbo Photo News initially came up with the ‘I Love Dubbo’ campaign – is that something you relate to? I do love Dubbo – I might get a tattoo to promote the city (laughing).

Having been a detective for so long and possessing so much local knowledge and having so much experience, how much satisfaction do you get by mentoring younger police and showing them the ropes? Moving into my 35th years in the Cops is a proud milestone and this OAM is as much mine as it is to my detectives and Dubbo police station. I continue to come to work because of these people, these cops that make a difference in sometimes very difficult situations. To my detective’s office, what a wonderful bunch of people. They keep me young and inspire me to get out of bed each day. They do a difficult job because they care and take ownership of their city of Dubbo. I’m a passionate and a proud detective, I love and encourage a “team environment”. They are all talented and committed investigators that I am privileged to mentor and guide. They are my family and words cannot express what they mean to me. Worthy of mentioning, is that my son Jarryd Meredith is one of my detectives. For Dad to be on deck for his son and be part of his career is extraordinary and very special to my heart. What a thrill it is and I’m so bloody proud of him. We laugh a lot and that is what my office does. You must laugh a lot because at times you may cry uncontrollably so the team has to pull together no matter what. Anything you’d like to add? I often wonder what Pez would be saying about dad and his brother working together in the cops. Just maybe that would make us all laugh too... I’d like to thank everyone for their kind comments and congratulations for my OAM. It’s certainly an honour and I am so very proud to receive it being a part of this great city of Dubbo.

Growing for gold How mining and agriculture are working together

F you thought mining and agriculture couldn’t peacefully co-exist, think again. At a time when the land on which we grow our nation’s food and fibre is more precious than ever, Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) – a project of Alkane Resources – is acutely conscious of the need to preserve and protect agricultural land, and is going above and beyond to meet that goal. Alkane’s Dubbo-based General Manager, Mike Sutherland, is more conscious than most of just how important it is for mining operations such as TGO to operate harmoniously with agriculture. Having grown up as a son of the NSW regional soil on family and his own farming operations, and with some serious environmental street-cred to his local name, Mike has been at pains to ensure the community, including the farming sector, is able to count TGO as a partner. “On my own farm between 1983 and 2002, we demonstrated that you could do nature conservation on a working farm – doing the mining thing is just an extension of that,” says the passionate advocate for both sectors. “(Alkane) has an operating gold mine at Tomingley, and we’ve leased some of the land that’s surplus to our mining requirements back to one of the farmers we bought it from. “We’re looking at three aspects – the agricultural production, the biodiversity values and the mining business.” The operation has enlisted the services of an experienced professional, university-qualified farm manager with corporate agriculture experience, Fergus Job, whom many would know from his time at the helm of Little River Landcare and who has strong community ties and an intimate understanding of sustainable and commercial agriculture. It seems such is the way of the future for both mining and agriculture, the scientific basis of which is increasingly recognised

Alkane’s Dubbo-based General Manager, Mike Sutherland

and employed, so the two make sensible if seemingly unlikely bedfellows. “Mining plays an important part in building resilience in regional communities by providing alternative employment opportunities and generally generating economic activity,” Mike says. “There are a whole lot of community and social benefits from having a relatively large business operating in the area rather than individual farms.” SO what does that mean in real terms, and how exactly is Alkane putting its money where its mouth is with TGO? First, it’s important to understand what’s on the horizon for the project, Mike explains. “We’ve been operating TGO since 2014, and we’ve just lodged an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a project called the Tomingley Gold Extension Pro-

“We’re looking at three aspects – the agricultural production, the biodiversity values and the mining business.” ject, which will extend the life of the mine for another ten years.” The extension will also expand the mining footprint by realigning several kilometres of Newell Highway, and acquire seven family farms, for which socio economic and agricultural impact statements have been prepared as part of the EIS. Mines aren’t able to pick and choose their locations. They need to be situated where the ore bodies are, so there’s an inherent conflict in land use.

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

COMMUNITY NEEDS SURVEY DRC has commenced a Community Needs Survey on 14 February 2022. Over three weeks, independent researchers will call 600 adult residents throughout the region via a mix of mobile phone and landline. An online survey, compiled by Taverner and available through Council’s website, will also be available to complete. The data from the surveys will be compiled separately with two reports provided to Council once the survey ﬁeld work is completed.

PRIMARY SCHOOL WASTE EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR 2022 In partnership with Mid-Western Regional Council and Narromine Shire Council, DRC are oﬀering engaging syllabus linked waste and sustainability workshops for years 1-6. The free workshops aim to engage students with real world experiences on topics of litter, recycling, food waste and sustainability. For more info or to book: E: wasteeducation@dubbo.nsw.gov.au W: dubbo.nsw.gov.au

Because of the nature of the operation, there will inevitably be a certain amount of land permanently lost to agriculture, but as Mike explains, TGO has made the commitment to ensure this doesn’t mean a net loss of productivity, putting various measures in place now to offset the loss of land use. “We’ve made a commitment to improve the carrying capacity and productivity of the agricultural land outside the mine footprint over the life of the project. “We actually have a farm plan that’s being enacted by Toongi Pastoral Company, headed up by Fergus Job, which is essentially to fence the properties into smaller paddocks, increase the stocking rates in those paddocks but have a lot of paddocks empty. It’s all about intensively grazing then providing long periods of rest for the pasture.” For those familiar with cell

grazing, Mike says it’s a similar system, the aim being to maintain good ground cover and build organic matter in the soils. “We’re also looking at putting on more water for the stock – at the moment we’re relying on existing dams and surface water, there’s very little ground water in the area. The plan is to use relatively small amounts of water from TGO – the idea is to set up some large tanks and reticulate water around with pipes and troughs. Clean water for livestock makes them more productive.” Another measure being investigated is to move away from annual cropping and towards perennial pastures. “We’ll still have annual clovers and legumes to boost productivity in the winter, but we’ll have those deep-rooted perennials as our dominant ground cover. These are all things that are proven to improve soil productivity over time.” But wait, there’s more. Mike says the farm will experiment with measures such as adding composts to build organic carbon. “If you can increase the amount of organic carbon in your soils, it increases the moisture holding capacity and thereby the pasture and livestock productivity.” For those whose concerns lie beyond the farm gate and the agricultural sector to the wider, general impact of having a gold mine or two on the doorstep, the news is equally reassuring. The overall benefit of TGO to the productivity of the community is significant, says Mike. “There are 200 staff at TGO, with another 20 casuals. There are at least another 150 jobs coming with the extension project. “TGO produces a significant amount of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the Narromine Shire, and Parkes and Dubbo also benefit from the employment that stems from Tomingley. “The longer that economic activity goes on, the greater the benefit to Narromine and the surrounding areas.” 

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Dominic Perrottet, let us live again The Editor, Our premier, Dominic Perrottet, announced when he took office that he intended to do what was needed to bring life and activity back into our State. One of the ways he was to do this was to ease Covid restrictions. This was greeted by a number of experts with predictions of disaster for our community, such as hospitals would not be able to cope with the numbers of infections and death rates would soar. As we know, this did not happen. I have seen the emotional pain of a person who was refused to be at the bedside of her loved one. We have all heard or seen reports on the news of such occurrences. How can our humanity justify that you cannot hold the hand of your parent, spouse or child when they are dying? These people were denied the blessing and healing that I experienced when I held the hand of my father as he died. Dominic Perrottet has just announced a change in these rules so that loved ones can now be at the side of their loved one. This is long overdue. In my opinion the old rules should never have been there. I am trying to organise an event for March 5, ‘Creators of Unity’, designed to bring our community together. But Covid restrictions are undermining this event. A member of the Taizé Community, France, is coming to Dubbo for this event. Taizé music bespeaks in its singing peace and unity. Yet this most essential expression of Taizé spirituality is being denied to those who attend, due to current Covid restrictions on masks and singing. We need to feel the power of this call to live a life that is willing to forgive those about us and participate as one community. We just do not want any more fracturing of our society. We need to come together and pursue unity with our neighbours. We can see each day the statistics of Covid deaths. When will

the statistics come out that show the number of lives that have been lost due to our Covid restrictions and treatment of some in our community? The emotional and mental damage to many will need years to heal. How many years will it take a parent who was denied being with their dying child to forgive? It is reported that the UK, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Lithuania and France have all announced the lifting of Covid restrictions and that Israel has abolished it’s ‘Green Card’ pass. Where are we? We will continue to do our best to bring our community out and together for our event. Hopefully Dominic Perrottet will act sooner to free us from these Covid restrictions that have been so damaging to our community. As, hopefully, these restrictions are lifted, we need to see many more community events designed to bring us all together to celebrate this wonderful life we have and the community we are so fortunate to live in. Shann Kellaway, Dubbo

Damn Pork barrelling The Editor, Pork Barrelling season is upon us, with governments throwing taxpayer money at their friends while they still can. Now Barnaby Joyce has announced $9.7 million of public money to be thrown at thrice failed plans to build a re-regulating dam at Gin Gin. This money (sorely needed in nursing homes, hospitals and schools) is for yet another study into building the controversial dam. It has been resoundingly shown several times that the Gin Gin dam would only benefit the irrigation industry in the mid-Macquarie area, at the expense of towns, graziers, recreational fishing, tourism and irrigators downstream.

Several irreplaceable First Nations cultural sites would be destroyed by the Gin Gin dam. A government report published last year showed this dam would destroy the four best remaining breeding sites of the threatened

Murray Cod left in the valley. Because this dam would extract water during dry years, it would be a death knoll for the Ramsar-listed Macquarie Marshes and the migratory birds who build their nests there.

This government seems determined to punish the community by throwing good money after bad in attempt to turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse. Melissa Gray, Dubbo

Standing together to triumph over trials Tijana Birdjan ❚ OPINION HAVING worked in the hospitality industry since I was 14, I grew up learning the foundations of success and struggles of a small business. Similar to the two-year drought NSW experienced, South Australia – where I grew up and from where I’ve recently moved – battled to recover from Black Summer bushfires from October 2019 through to February the following year. This was a difficult time for all the state’s residents, especially to those who lost loved ones, homes, livestock and property. The catastrophic blazes targeted the Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula and the South East.

Working casually at a cafe, I saw how both small and large businesses collaborated to stand up for our state and generate much-needed funds for our local communities – and importantly for these communities, find ways to keep local businesses profitable and employing local people. Situated on a tourism strip, Adelaide’s King William Road features multiple cafes, restaurants, boutiques, florists and wellness centres that, during that time, would contribute to raising money for local charities and bushfire survivors. The corner shop eatery would work closely with the local florist a few shopfronts down and we would often trade products to support both businesses. We would sell bouquets of flowers to support them, and they would do the same by including coffee gift cards in their prices.

Seeing independent small businesses come together on the street ignited people’s passion to give back to the community once again. Knowing that our contribution was helping survivors from a national event was extremely rewarding so we continued to seek opportunities to provide financial assistance.

Through our innovative ideas, we raised coffee prices up by 50c for a limited time and donated a dollar to organisations – 50c from the business and 50c from the customers. Employers, employees and customers were donating their money and products to local charities to help those impacted by a devastating cause, and with that example set, we could then do the same to guide us through the pandemic that followed. On my transition journey to becoming a Dubbo local, I’ve noticed people are just as kind-hearted ` For customers reading here as where I grew up. this, if you like flowers Hearing various stories from lothat are displayed in a cal and small businesses over the cafe ask where they were past few weeks has inspired me to purchased them, or if you reflect on my hospitality journey like an employee’s hair, and appreciate the years I had in ask who their hairdresser the industry. I’ve listened to hardships interis... a weaved with momentous successes

to make this the year of change for my new community. For businesses reading this, team up with a few other local businesses and exchange stock or products to help support one another. For customers reading this, if you like flowers that are displayed in a cafe ask where they were purchased, or if you like an employee’s hair, ask who their hairdresser is. Simple engagements and acts of kindness will connect the people of Dubbo together once again. We are not striving to reinvent the wheel, simply just push it to get it moving again. The two-year hiatus has caused grief, angst and sacrifice to diverse industries all over the Western region and it is now time to take accountability as a community. Keep the spark alight by establishing a connection through the businesses you’re supporting.

with Aaron Hill

Dune (2021) By AARON HILL “DUNE” was directed by Denis Villeneuve, and stars Timothée Chalamett as Paul Atreieides, a gifted young ung man who has dreams of a strange girl on a planet called Arrakis. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence, only those who can conquer their own fear will survive. In preparation for the 2021 film, I had to have watched the 1984 Dune, which does NOT hold up. I thought the original was hilariously bad in the 80s, but it has charm in it. Now as for the remake, this may be my second favourite film of 2021, right in the middle of “Godzilla vs Kong” and “Space Jam 2”.

INSANITY STREAK

AMBER WAVES

Yes, I still love Y ““Space Jam 2” even tthough it’s the dumbest movie of all time. “Dune” is a very magnificent film; m it’s possibly been my most anticipated film of the year. All the acting is great, the CGI doesn’t feel like awful Minecraft special effects (unlike the 1984 film), the cinematography makes it feel like you’re on the desert planet, and let’s not forget about the Sandworm parts, the thing’s a giant beast. This film is divided into two parts, so be sure to look out for Part Two when it comes out in 2023. Overall, if you like large desert biome planet films, or if you’re a fan of either the book or the 80s film, I highly recommend this film, and I’m giving this one a 10/10. *Aaron Hill is a local Dubbo film-buff.

& Thumbs Up to paramedics Terry-Anne and

Scott, especially Doctor Bill and Doctor Mel, nurses Matthew and Blondie, also Brenda. Brenda waited with me until a taxi arrived, returning me safely home at 9pm from Dubbo Base Hospital. Fantastic treatment.

Thumbs Up to Midstate Freight, David Iverach Motors, Tracserv Dubbo, Southern Steel, Steel Supplies Dubbo, Dubbo Powder Coating, Clark Rubber Dubbo, and North Dubbo Motors, I just appreciate these people for looking after me and treating me with great service whilst I was working on a project.

Thumbs Up to Braydon at Auto Barn. He was so helpful and happy to assist me, even though it was late in the afternoon. You are an asset to your employer. Thank you.

Thumbs Down - I work in a small business and had the need to phone our customers that had signed in as we received a positive case that had checked in to the store. Out of 11 people, six had given a wrong contact number. Come on people, this is not smart, it is you we are trying to help.

Thumbs Down to anyone who supports ruining the passive green recreational space at Regand Park with a heap of sporting ovals that could be built anywhere else. Ovals are great but only beneﬁt one relatively small section of the community whereas the green space by the river beneﬁts all of us. Once gone, that’s it.

Thumbs Up to Page Electronics for great service when he was so busy, much appreciated.

Thumbs Down to all the people who post Thumbs Down’s about local businesses on Facebook without ﬁrst bothering to contact the owner and discuss their problems. Social media

is dragging the human race into a black hole of nastiness, those online arguments really bring out the worst in people.

Natural wellbeing for all

Thumbs Up to Annette of Ashcrofts IGA, South Dubbo who surpassed her usual extreme helpfulness and went over and above to help pack my groceries in my car. All Ashcroft staff are helpful but Annette is amazing.

Thumbs Down to the government politicians that think religion comes ﬁrst in politics, schools, police and any other governmental organisation.

Thumbs Up to Officeworks for sorting out my photos for my niece, thanks for helping me.

Thumbs Up to Sharon Fardell, 30 years in her hairdressing business, congratulations! I love her and all her other clients tell me the same. I’ve been with her all this time.

Thumbs Down to Transport for NSW. Obviously the bosses of this department don’t have to travel along Wingewarra Street, where there’s always such a wait for the traffic lights to change at the Darling Street intersection. Dugald Saunders, would you please ask them to update their records, and tell them that Darling Street ceased to be the Newell Highway back when the low-level bridge was built in the 1980’s. Traffic travelling along Wingewarra Street needs a fairer go.

Thumbs Up to the central men’s shed for ﬁxing my laundry trolley wheel and giving it a new paint job. It works magniﬁcently and looks like I could go racing with it.

Welcome to the Garden, friends, family, sponsors and supporters. It was a very successful opening. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

WESTERN Cancer Centre Dubbo has benefitted from the donation of a Wellbeing Garden, all thanks to the generosity of volunteers from the amazing Walan Community Garden and more than 16 businesses and individuals. One of the volunteers Kirstie Parkinson, works as the Psycho-Oncology Counsellor at the recently built Western Cancer Centre Dubbo. She’d seen what the proposed garden in the courtyard of the cancer centre was going to look like and thought that the volunteers at the Walan Community Garden could design and create a beautiful and calming wellbeing garden that the patients, families and staff could enjoy and escape to when they needed some time out from dealing with cancer. Kirstie approached the to see if there was a chance to take over the courtyard garden and it was agreed that we could put together a plan and present to Hospital Redevelopment Project Officer Bonita Jameson, the hospital head gardener Shane Zaidan and the Nursing Unit Manager Tim Williams. Kirstie spoke to the other Walan volunteers Fay Angel and Helen Eyre about if we would be interested. Both

were keen as Fay had lost her husband to a brain tumour and Helen had lost both parents to cancer and fully understood how having a nice area to escape to can help. Fay reflected on the time her husband was in palliative care in a small hospital in South Australia and for the two weeks he was there she would go out and sit on the ground near the helipad with a cup of tea and watch the sunrise each morning. This morning ritual not only gave her time to herself and escape the hospital room but it also gave her not only some peace, but also the strength to continue on. The hospital

later built a small garden for the patients and families to use. The volunteers came up with a design and approached Behn Monley at Dubbo Landscape Centre he gave us a quote for the materials at a very generous discount and we sourced quotes for other necessary items, with every business we approached willing to donate or heavily discount the items. The Hospital and Cancer Trust agreed to back us and it was full steam ahead making plans. Part of our design was to incorporate three large mosaic totem poles that incor-

At the end of September we were granted entry to the court yard and it was all hands on deck When we worked we received lots of positive reactions from both staff and patients at the hospital. One staff member was Wen Long Hsieh. He came out every day to talk to us while he had his coffee and one day he asked if he could donate. We had just received the cost of the plants for the hedge and when we told him the cost was over $800 he said “No worries I go pay it tomorrow”, and he did.

Brick by brick, the LEGO legacy builds Photos by CAITLIN RYMAN THIS year’s LEGO Brick Show, held at the Dubbo RSL, demonstrated an enormous amount of time, skill and effort completed by the staff members and members of the community. A wide variety of masterpieces were on display, with plenty of opportunities for the children to

create their own. The LEGOs on display stretched back from past to present childhoods, reflecting the expansion of the company over the years. The event was a massive success with families coming out to the venue and leaving amazed, satisfied, and in awe marvelling at the progression of the LEGO displays.

Morning sunshine and spirit flare bright at local markets Photos by CAITLIN RYMAN

THE recent Farmers’ Markets at Ollie Robins Oval was filled with members of the community showing their support for small businesses from Dubbo and across the central west. There were lots of smiles and children running around, with plenty of people bringing

out their little pups to enjoy the fresh air. Community spirit was visibly strong throughout the markets, friends and family coming out to spend the day together with plenty of activities, fresh produce, baked goods and delicious fresh juice and coffee for everyone.

Film group kicks off with a classic Photos by CAITLIN RYMAN THE 2022 season of the program Smokescreen has kicked off at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, with a showing of classic “The African Queen” being the first film for this year’s chosen theme of “The River”. Introduced in 2016, Smokescreen is held monthly, bringing Dubbo residents the opportunity to witness iconic and influential films from

the history of cinema. Spokesperson Phil Aitkens said numbers have been steadily increasing and the amount of community support is “incredible”. “Every year a representative is chosen to select a theme and the run of films throughout the year, it is an enormous amount of pressure but is very worth it in the end.” All information on upcoming Smokescreen events is available on the WPCC website.

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.

Physie is like a family By JENNY HUNT DUBBO City Physical Culture was established in 2003 by Elizabeth Leonard with the desire “to follow The Physie Dream of dancing and nurturing girls and ladies to enjoy a sport for life in an atmosphere that promotes self-worth and confidence in everyone”. Physie is not an Olympic sport, but it does bring together a mixture of styles seen in others such as artistic and rhythmic gymnastics – Jazz Ballet, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Aerobic Dance and Yoga. It is a sport that is accessible to all ages 4 – 90yrs and promotes Fitness, Fun and Friendship with the benefits of having good posture, balance and rhythm along with the fun of learning routines at State and National Levels. Fitness, movement and inter-

pretation of the music where the moves involve the heart and the spirit of the girls as they journey each year through new routines and levels of strength and flexibility. Physie has been represented at the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, The Rugby League Grand Final and T20 Cricket. Each age group starts the year with a new set of routines and assesses the girls' achievements with Individual and Team performances and competitions throughout. Covid has certainly played havoc with Physie over the past few years, and we are hoping we can get a full year of activities in 2022. Many members have made friends for life through the sport and are always welcome to re-join. Physie clubs in any town or city are always willing to

"adopt" girls and their families if they relocate. It is the perfect start for any student or new person to town to forge some lifelong friendships and enjoy a sport which makes them feel both comfortable and challenged at the same time. Dubbo City this year is dancing from a new venue, Wesley Community Hall, Church Street Dubbo (opposite Dubbo Regional Council) which is very exciting. Classes will run Monday from 4.30pm and on Wednesdays we are offering Strength, Flexibility and Fitness from 4pm. An Open Day is planned for Sunday 20th February between 11am and 12pm. There will be demonstrations, information and morning tea so everyone is invited. For more information contact 0401 165 874 or email dubbocityphysie@live.com.au.

Sydney stardom for physie girl By TIJANA BIRDJAN REACHING the semi-final at Olympic Park in Sydney, Giaan Cubby is highly recognised and supported by Orana Physical Culture. Climbing the ladder for more than seven years, Giaan said her goal is to perform in the Nationals at the Opera House. “I think of what I want to reach at the competition and try to stay focused,” Giaan shared, telling Dubbo Photo News she stays motivated to succeed as she sets milestones each year. Giaan exudes her passion for the sport and said she thrives being

able to perform, along with meeting new girls in the industry. Coach Sarah Lucan said it has been a difficult year for Giaan, having to recover from Covid and gain back her physical strength. “When she competed in December, she collapsed – it was very hard for her,” Sarah shared. “She was remarkable.” Sarah said she admired Giaan for attending Zoom coaching classes when she contracted the disease and explained the hardships of being a country club, where the routines are the same as metropolitan areas but with limited exposure. Training Giaan for the past three

years has been an incredible experience, Sarah said, noting her dedication and commitment to the sport are exceptional. “Being a role model for many younger members of the club”, Sarah said, noting that many of the other girls look up to her. Committee member Margaret Lynch also expressed how proud Orana Physical Culture is of her achievements. “Not only does Giaan have talent for this dance and exercise sport, but she has a praiseworthy character,” Margaret said, describing Giaan as a team player who treats any setback as a learning experience.

Academy program selection provides path to greater success By GEOFF MANN SOME of Dubbo’s best young netballers are set to take an important step on their representative journey, being named in the Western Region Academy of Sport’s (WRAS) 2022 Netball program. Georgia Faichney and emerging player Eva Marchant will again be part of the squad after gaining selection in 2021, while Emmie McCullough and Edwina Tink have been selected in the Academy program for the first time. Casey Middenway will also train with the squad as an emerging player. Aspiring Dubbo-based umpire Ansune Gouws also joined the squad as part of the academy’s inaugural Netball Umpires’ program. She will undertake a similar schedule of training to the netballers, as well as receiving quality

game education and development opportunities delivered by leading game officials. Heading up this year’s program is long-time servant of the sport, Dubbo’s Linda Macleod, who has been part of the Academy netball program for more than 10 years. Community Engagement Manager, Ingrid Kaczor, said the organisation has been incredibly impressed by the dedication and achievements of all involved in the program. “Covid created many challenges for all involved in the program over the last two years and there was an incredible amount of work that was conducted behind the scenes to adjust the programs and ensure the athletes could continue their progression in the sport,” Ingrid said. “It’s been inspiring to witness

Dubbo-based netball squad members: Ansune Gouws, Emmie McCullough, Georgia Faichney and Edwina Tink.

the collective dedication and commitment of coaches, administrators and, of course, the athletes, and we are very much looking forward to joining them for the next

three years in what we hope will see the resumption of some normality for all.” The squad will come together regularly over the coming months

for training camps in Bathurst, Dubbo and Orange, before representing WRAS at the 2022 Your Local Club Academy Games in Wagga Wagga from 8 to 10 April.

CYMS book place in Megahit final By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL CYMS Cougars remain in the hunt for the Whitney Cup and are through to another night final after impressive wins on the weekend. The Cougars caught Newtown on a wet deck on Friday night, rolling them for 57 and reaching the total with seven wickets in hand.

On Saturday, half-centuries by Ben Knaggs and Paddy Nelson helped the Cougars set the Town a target of 169 that proved 21 too many to reach. In other matches, Macquarie had their first win since Christmas. Lachie Strahan was the star with two wickets and 92 while RSL Colts retained the Danny Bower Cup in the annual clash with Rugby.

Gilgandra Cup pioneer; community champion passes THE Gilgandra community bid farewell to one of its finest this week when Noel Wrigley died. According to our harness racing correspondent Graham Phipps, Noel a much-loved figure, full of energy and self-giving. “Noel was my go-to man at Gilgandra, along with Margie Stewart and a force behind establishing the Gilgandra Cup harness race meet-

ing. He and Joe Shalhoub designed the Gilgandra Windmill trophy,” and this meeting held annually in December at Dubbo has become one of the most attractive on the calendar.” The meeting has become a Gilgandra reunion and fund-raising event for the town. Over the past four years funds have been donated to the Gilgandra Cancer support

group, drought relief and the Gilgandra hospital, all projects that Noel was right behind. Noel grew up in Gilgandra but moved to the Riverstone area where he raced, trained and drove harness horses. When he returned to the Windmill Town, Noel was elected as a Councillor and served for many years. “He will be remembered for his

charity work in many roles. He even gave scenic flights as prizes for kids’ youth club competitions. This love of flying that had seen him build a shed with easy access to the Gilgandra airport led to Noel and wife Marlene moving to Narromine three years ago where they purchased a house at the local airport estate so he could continue his love of flying,” Graham said.

Dubbo and District Football offers All-Girls Miniroos By GEOFF MANN THE Executive Committee of DDFA has opened registrations for All-Girls MiniRoos teams in the upcoming 2022 winter season. The decision comes in response to player demand from MiniRoos’ participants, where some clubs have already submitted All-Girls teams to play against boys/ mixed teams each week. The administration decided to give an opportunity for young girls to join the game in a safe and welcoming environment, starting with the Under 5s, Under 6s and Under 7s age groups. Games will be played Saturday following current MiniRoos playing formats, with kick-off times to be de-

termined upon receipt of nominations. Association President Ainsleigh Bates brings a wealth of knowledge from her time as Operations Coordinator for Northern NSW Football affiliated zone – Newcastle Football – where she witnessed first-hand the ‘build it and they will come’ concept in action. “It’s important to be able to present the opportunity for girls to play in girls’ only competitions. We are not looking to ‘force’ female participants to play in girls’ only teams but wish to provide the option for them to do so. The upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 is on our doorstep, and we are hoping to capitalise on that exposure by enticing female participants to our

game and bringing fresh opportunities to our clubs.” Secretary Manager Jim Auld is supportive of the move. “We have asked our clubs for the last couple of years if they are interested in submitting registrations for all-girls teams. Reaction will determine the probability of ensuring these groupings can go ahead – even if we have to merge age groups for this to occur.” Clubs have been asked to express interest through ked to express interest through online registrations at the PlayFootball portal. Narromine Soccer Club is

looking forward to the new groupings. “We’ve had strong interest in submitting an Under 7s All-Girls team for the 2022 season, we had to split our girls between two [mixed Under 6s] teams this year. It will be great to be able to join them back together and have them play against girls only for the season.” For further information about Dubbo & District Football Association registrations, contact Jim Auld on dubbosoccerass@bigpond.com or visit www.dubbofootball. com.au for more information.

‘From the greens’ – as the night meets the morning sun PISTOL Pete loves to wax lyrical about the joy and anticipation each Saturday night as the Sundee RSL Combo Bowlers psych themselves up for the weekly ritual... ••• THE second Sunday in February was a reasonable morning for some of the groups but there was only one close one game in the end. John Kennedy, Pete Ruzans and Debbie Hayden v Sue McAuley, Gary Huggins and Kath Edwards ‘from the greens’ – as the night meets the morning sun. John Kennedy is a big bloke who’s played a lot of sport and now he’s decided to roll the coloured bowls rather than bowl the red six-stitcher. Both teams had their moments, some good and some – well – not so good. Throughout the 16 ends, both sides damaged each other in the

quest; eight each at the end, Kath and her mob created a huge five at the second last, but some desperate bowling and a great delivery by Pete gave Debbie and team a one-point win with three shots from the final end – 17-16. ‘Go Girl’ was the war cry as Gaye Cottee gave homage to the good bowling by Peter Sinclair and Shirley Marchant, while Frank Armstrong, Doc Livingston and Mel Giddings pooled all their talents to make it hard for their opponents. The ‘go-girl’ mob kept their cool as team Giddings quietly made enough shots to keep the mat til end 10 before fortunes changed and as their opponents mounted. Scoring 10 shots to one in the second half of the game, the ‘go-girl’ mob sneaked home, eight ends each but 15 shots to 8. Allan Stratford, Ross Pharo and Ian Hobson locked horns with

Ron Morrison, Ruby Stockings and Gordon Scott. By end four the latter group was in trouble, having conceded six shots on end 4 to trail 11-1. Wow! It was time to react. Gordon’s lot came good, getting within two shots by end seven. A couple of threes plus a single shot boosted Ian’s troops to an eight-shot lead after 11 ends and they kept going, despite giving up three shots on 12, going all the way to win the game 22 – 14. Bryan O’Sullivan was given Paul Martin and Rob Pfeiffer to take on John Hayden, Roger Sherwin and Beryl Scott. It’s important to remember teams are created by picking a stick from the ‘cup of knowledge’ as both tore tenaciously at each other. Occasionally a smile emanated from one of the faces as the scoring shots were revealed at each end. Team Bryan was the first to construct a beautiful sixth

shot end at 11, only to face a six shot against at end 15. This pretty much sank the hopes of Bryan and his group who needed eight shots to draw on the last. Not to be! Beryl, Roger and John just did enough to take the win 22 shots to 17. Sue Armstrong, Dave Davis, Phil Knight against Ron McAuley, Chris Strojny and Kevin While met on Rink 3 bowls for a bit of fun. Ron, Chris and Kevin didn’t seem to enjoy it as much as the others, though! Sue, Dave and young Phil were a lot happier after their 22 shots to 9 win. Sundy bowls is getting more popular each week with 39 players, meaning a couple of games of pairs had to be scheduled. Peter Bennison and Col Cottee engaged Beryl Hobson and Eric Satchell. For the first 10 ends it was anyone’s game but after it was locked at six-all, Beryl hit her

straps and dragged Eric along to power away over the final six for a 13-6 win. “Swinger” Leo Balstrad joined John Cole and Matt Quill, Paul Woodbridge, and Chris Cristante (making his comeback to bowls for the year) to make a triples match. John and Matt skipped to a great first half of the game, leading 15-5 along with “Swinger”. This is a run-away! Paul and Chris kept trying with the help of their ‘extra’ but John and Matt proved too good, accepting applause for the 24 – 9 accomplishment.  Winners – Leo, John Cole and Matt Quill.  Runners up – Sue Armstrong, Dave Davis and Phil Knight.  Resters – Kath Edwards – doing it twice within a minute – and Kevin Scott.  Lucky numbers – Ron McAuley, Paul Woodbridge and Pete Ruzans.

“It was an amazing day” By GEOFF MANN Photos contributed by JO IVEY THAT was how Wellington Swimming Club Life Member and Western Districts Secretary Pip Smith described Sunday’s 100th Dr Nat Barton Swimming Carnival. Nearly 170 swimmers from right across the central west – Mudgee, Dubbo RSL, Orana Aquatic, Macquarie Yabbies Narromine, Dubbo City SwimTech, Nyngan, Dunedoo, Coolah, Cobar, Coonamble, Coonabarabran and Warren – joined Wellington Club members in celebrating the momentous occasion. “We were blessed to have Olympic gold medallist Ian O’Brien and one of Australia’s most distinguished Paralympic multi-medallist Ben Austin attend the day and speak about their time in sport and achievements. They were

very open about their experiences lapping in the old and newer pools and both were very humble,” Pip said. Dr Nat Barton’s grandsons Nat, Tim, Peter, Matt and great granddaughter Alex attended on behalf of the Barton family. “Peter Barton spoke beautifully about his grandfather who was one of the instigators of Wellington’s first pool. He explained how the caring doctor was a driving force to prevent children swimming in the Bell River and the many drownings which had been occurring.” Dr. Nat was known for so much more in the Wellington community having served in World War One. John Williams from Swimming NSW was on hand to witness this marvellous event and Ingrid Hyland, the Western Area Referee of-

ficiated the carnival. “We also had life members Rod Pedron, Anne Styles, Donna Cosier, Ruth Arnold and Fiona Arnold in attendance along with parents of the club – many of whom had learned to swim in the Wellington Pool – set up, assisted with time-keeping, marshalling and then packing up. Some came along on Saturday to prepare and were back again at 6.30 on Sunday,” a thankful Pip continued. The Wellington community sponsored every event – there were nearly 200 separate ones – and this has assisted financially. “We had raffles and two 100 Clubs to cover costs and encourage our young members to continue in this healthiest of activities.” Deputy mayor Richard Ivey was on hand to assist and his wife Jo was scurrying around to capture

many treasured moments. Her brilliant portraits have allowed Dubbo Photo News to present an everlasting record of the day. Pip had plenty of thank-yous but was quick to point out that if she missed someone, she will catch up with them all in time.  Ian and Ben who let all the kids and big kids look at and touch their medals and have photos with them;  Sally Hunt our amazing treasurer who organised a beautiful cake for the celebration;  Beth Angel our secretary who arranged 100 Year Celebration balloons and food for all the officials and time-keepers;  Clare from Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) was amazing with her assistance;  Kate Austin, our pool manager, was instrumental in ensuring the

pool, facilities and staff were in magnificent order  Carmen Gain, our unbelievable president and Chris Stevens our registrar and recorder cannot be thanked enough for the work and time they gave to make the day run so smoothly and efficiently;  Kasey Hilderburg from Good Sports was with us all day speaking with clubs on the promotion of drug and alcohol-free sports and facilities and mental health with our swimmers and family. She played games with the children all day and gave them gifts when they were not swimming. Pip pointed out there were about 10 records broken including the 12 and under 100m breastroke. Gigi Windyer from Dubbo City Swimtech was presented with her medal by Ian O’Brien. “A very special moment”!

Golden boy home where it all began By GEOFF MANN IN the 1950s kids in Wellington learned to swim in an old pool in the sunken gardens on the banks of the Bell River. Olympic gold medallist Ian O’Brien graduated from that “remarkable” facility to the newer pool on Warne St and then scaled the heights of the swimming world after moving to Sydney. “I never forget the first time I went in a race all the older boys were teasing me – ‘don’t go down that end there's probably sharks and crocodiles down the bottom of the pool’ – ‘cause you couldn’t see anything. There was this green water! “We had rope lanes with cork floating around, there were no scum gutters. There was just this ‘pond’ and when you’d get six people in the pool at once, the chop was amazing. I dived in, got about three-quarters of the way down the pool, took on the biggest mouthful of water I’ve ever taken on in my life and I thought, ‘no, I’m leaving”, Ian recalled. He dragged himself to the side of the pool and thought, “someone else can have this, I’m out”! “They used to drain the pool regularly, once a week on a Wednesday, then fill it up. They used to paint it

with, I think it was allum, some sort of wash, and fill it up from the Bell River, straining as it came in but it worked really well and we had lots of fun,” the still-working filmographer remembers. From that less than inviting introduction to aquatic sports, Ian was to face further challenges. “Unfortunately I lost my dad when I was 12. He used

to drive me all over the state for carnivals and when he died, I was devastated. Then a great friend of mine, George Wilkins stepped

into the role and took me all over the countryside and to Sydney. We used to have a great time. He was such a great person and still is.” Ian says George’s influence was instrumental and he really began to focus on his swimming and it led to state, national, Commonwealth (Empire) Games and ultimately, the Olympics. In 1964, having won gold in the 1962 Empire Games in Perth – the same event where Percy Hobson from Bourke cleared 6’ 11” to win the high jump – Ian O’Brien boarded the plane to Tokyo for the Olympics. The late great ABC commentator Norman May called the race as “the 17-year-old from Wellington” swept down the last lap to overtake Russian champion Provethenko to win in a world record time. “Well, that’s one of the most amazing performances, a Cinderella story of a young boy who was born in the country town of Wellington. His best time before he left for Tokyo was 2.31+ and yet he’s come up against world record holder Chet Jastremski of the United States and Georgy Prokopenko of the Soviet Union and beaten them – his time 2.27.8 secs,” May proclaimed. In typical fashion, Ian

told me his secret. “I think I was just a bit fitter than these two blokes! I knew I could beat Chet and Georgy, who were a bit older than me, because I had already gone under world record time in a time trial we had leading into the Games.” Ian O’Brien z Olympic Gold Medal 1964 Tokyo 200m breaststroke z Commonwealth Games Gold medals Perth (‘62) – 111yd (100m) breaststroke, 220yd (200m) and 4 x 110yd medley relay and Kingston (‘66) Empire
