EDUCATION is seen as one of the top number one priorities worldwide when it comes to factors that set you up for a good life, and when it comes to education, reading is a critical factor.

So with National Teen Literature Day coming up, Dubbo Photo News was keen to showcase the success of one of our newest employees.

Mackena Dennis, along with her boy-

friend Jack Winner, spent months in their spare time during last year’s HSC to write a novel, Knights of the Roundtable: Genesis of a King, a book that was picked up by Fantasy World, a new-age creative collective based in the United States – it will soon be on shelves across the globe.

Well done Mackena and Jack, we’ll be doing a book review on your novel when it’s released in the near future.

Nursing hopes in opposition

Lucky’s Merlin-powered bike back in Dubbo

AS Dubbo nurses vow to continue strike action, the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) has welcomed the federal Opposition’s pre-election pledge to begin addressing the aged care crisis by introducing staffing ratios, ensuring a registered nurse is onsite 24/7 and supporting a long overdue pay rise for aged care workers.

NSWNMA General Secretary, Brett Holmes, said the announcement had given aged care members across the state a substantial lift after many years of highlighting issues in the sector.

“This is the first time a major political party has committed to mandate the ratios we need in aged care to keep our residents safe and reform a sector that’s been neglected for far too long,” said Mr Holmes.

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S most famous motorbike, the ‘Merlin’, will be the star of the show at next month’s Dubbo Motor Bike Rally.

Rally president Stan Single said it’ll be great to see the bike – which was built in Dubbo by Lucky Keizer back in the 1980s using two cylinders cut from a V12 Rolls Royce out of a Mosquito fighter-bomber – back in town.

“Lucky’s booked and coming and he’ll be firing his bike up at various stages throughout the day,” Mr Single told Dubbo Photo News, remarking on why the inaugural 2019 event was so successful and why so many people are looking forward to this year’s rally after an enforced two-year Covid lay-off.

“We based our Rally on the formulas of the famous American Rallies we’ve visited being

Sturgis, Lone Star and Daytona Beach Bike Week which are held in a public street in the CBD, where up to 800,000 bikes attend during the weeks’ events,” he said.

“Like these Rallies, ours is free with no registration and we own a Street in the Dubbo CBD for a day with Bike-only access.

“In 2019 with a small budget we managed to attract around 1700 Bikes. We had a count of 3000

plus people in the Street over the course of the day. The next two years, 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to Covid.”

The Rally will be staged on Saturday, May 7, with stalls, bikes, riders and spectators taking over Talbragar Street for the day.

Organisers are asking locals to come along and enjoy the day and also support the businesses on Talbragar Street during the event.

We feel worthless, say nurses

By JOHN RYAN STANDING outside Dugald Saunders’ office, Jennifer Humphreys, a Registered Midwife, was emotional as she addressed more than 40 of her colleagues during strike action – strike action she said she should not have to take.

“I’ve been doing this for 25-plus years and I have never felt so undervalued and I have never felt so bad within myself by not being able to give those mums and those new babies and those families the care that they’re entitled to,” she told the crowd.

“They’re paying their taxes, where is that money going? It’s definitely not in health care.”

She was one of a number of local health workers who walked off the job last week, and unless the state government comes

to the table with mandated nurse-to-patient ratios and a pay rise to keep up with inflation, the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) says they’ll keep their campaign going.

Association organiser Tracey Coyte, who looks after western NSW health staff, travelled from Sydney to speak to her members.

“Our nurses and midwives are struggling and it’s really important to have community backing and let the community know that with the current staffing crisis in public health, they cannot provide the safe patient care that our communities need and deserve,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

She said people needed to look at how many sectors such as nurses and teachers appeared

Registered nurse/ student mid-wife Laura Cavalletto believes politicians are putting patients' lives at risk. “I think people, including MPs, underestimate what our shifts entail and how much care and love and support and medical work nurses actually do. If they came and did a week of shifts I think they’d actually understand the requirements of the job," she told Dubbo Photo News

to be on the brink of collapse, yet the state government is claiming it’s just a short-term Covid staffing problem. “(The) department is

on the brink of collapse.

We hear Mr Perrottet, our premier, say our health system is strong, that we are coping. Mr Perrottet, your nurses and midwives

in the public health sector are not coping, they are broken. And frustrated.

And exhausted. They are leaving the profession in droves because the level of care that they want to provide – and that these communities deserve across the state of NSW – simply cannot be provided with the critical staffing shortages.

“The system is broken and it cannot keep going the way it is. It’s just band-aid after band-aid after band-aid by this government, they’re not listening.

“We took action six weeks ago, on February 15; we’ve upped the ante this time, this is a 24hour strike, our nurses and mid-wives want to be heard, they want the government to come to the table and start talking.

DUBBO business owners and staff are concerned about their safety in certain sections of the city.

That was the message from a recent meeting held by the Dubbo Chamber of Commerce which discussed problems in the Church Street area.

Chamber president, Errin Williamson, said it was an in-depth meeting attended by Chamber members, council representatives, and representatives from the housing department, Orana Support Service and the Department of Communities and Justice.

“The concerns raised were mostly about anti-social behaviour in the Church Street precinct,” Ms Williamson said.

“And also, about the growing homelessness problem in that area.

“There’s no quick solution to this, it’s an ongoing issue.”

Ms Williamson added businesses needed support and they needed the agencies involved to work together.

“Business owners just want to operate their businesses safely,” she said.

“A lot of them in that area operate late at night, or they have staff that stay late, and they want to be able to feel safe in their workplace. Everyone just wants to be safe at work.

“The general consensus was that business owners need support.

“And the issues that we’re raising – these aren’t our issues to fix, so we need the agencies here to work together.

“Of course, we’re also concerned that any members of the general public get the support that they need, that they get help.”

She said business owners had been through the wringer in the past couple of years, with these current concerns coming on the back of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“People just want to run their businesses uninterrupted,” Ms Williamson said.

“So we’re going to be starting a bit of a campaign, we will be writing to our Members of Parliament to get the support we need, and we will be communicating with those agencies that attended the meeting on an ongoing basis.”

TRIVIA TEST

Story continued from page 3

“The government said they would do that after the 15th of February yet they’ve done nothing, it’s disgusting.”

She said the Association had an open challenge to the premier, health minister and MPs, and ministers such as Dugald Saunders to spend a few nights in a hospital to get a real taste of what’s going on.

“We have challenged them to come, our members have asked Mr Perrottet to come and work with them on nightshift and look.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s the biggest Emergency Department at Westmead or whether it’s the Bourke MPS, our nurses are facing threats and actual increased violence and that comes a lot of the time from the frustration of the community not being able to access timely, efficient, safe healthcare,” she said.

As the protest march moved from the Rotunda to Dugald Saunders’ electorate office, a lady walking along Talbragar Street told the marchers she was glad. “I’m retired and out of the game,” she said.

Susan Coddington told Dubbo Photo News she spent 40 years in the industry and had nursed in just about every department including cardiology, cardiac, oncology, ED, neo-natal intensive care units, maternity, and palliative care.

“It’s just the same old story, too many chiefs and not enough Indians, always battling, never enough staff, there’s staffing shortages,” she said.

tients and then you’ve got another five or six on top of those. The politicians are asleep, they’ve got no insight into this, nurses are victims and I’m really happy that I’m out of it.

“I loved my work, I loved my patients, but there’s too much documentation nurses are forced to do on top of a chronic and permanent shortage of staff. (We’re) always short of staff so all the big chiefs need to learn how to do a bit of nursing and come and help these poor nurses.”

Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders was out of town on the day of the strike action but did respond to our questions about what the state government planned to do to rectify what nurses claim is a crisis situation.

“The NSW Government remains committed to reaching a resolution in the best interests of our patients and all our healthcare workers,” Mr Saunders said.

A NSW Health spokesperson sent Dubbo Photo News a large data dump claiming, among other things: “There are more nurses and midwives in NSW public hospitals than at any other time in history” and that “the NSW Government is also investing in a further 5000 nurses and midwives from 2019-2022 under a record $2.8 billion boost to frontline staff”.

Those claims, say the nurses, appear at distinct odds to what they’re experiencing in the frontline on a day-to-day basis.

Left: Retired nurse Susan Coddington cheered on the striking workers and told Dubbo Photo News that politicians had zero insight into the conditions faced by frontline health workers.

Right: Lisa Patterson, a paediatric registered nurse, and theatre nurse Alice Coen agree that mandated nurse-to-patient ratios are urgent and necessary.

Sky-high fuel prices reach a new altitude

By STEPH ALLEN

Registered nurse Kirstie Robinson was one of the local health workers listening to Nurses and Midwives Association organiser Tracey Coyte set out the problems facing the sector.

SKY high fuel prices have continued to impact domestic travel, with airline Rex announcing it would increase fares across its domestic and regional networks by $10, with some larger increases in the lower priced promotional fares.

The new fares were brought in from March 25.

Rex general manager of network strategy Warrick Lodge said the increase was the first the airline had implemented in over three years.

“With fuel prices shooting up by over 30 per cent in recent weeks and with supply chains being severely disrupted, the existing ticket prices are no longer tenable,” Mr Lodge said. “Rex is proud of being a disruptor on the domestic market, bringing record low average fares to consumers for travel on the golden triangle.

Dubbo Chamber of Commerce president Errin Williamson said although the increase was ‘unfortunate’, it was an ‘understandable’ decision at the present time.

“Fuel prices have been high here for a while – it would almost work out better for (travellers) to fly than fuel their own car for a solo trip to Sydney,” Ms Williamson said. “They will budget for this accordingly. As long as we continue to see tourism out this way and that it is not impacted (by) these prices.”

The rise in regional small business

By TIJANA BIRDJAN OVERCOMING a three-year drought to being submerged in flood waters, Australians have established long term relationships with digital platforms to remain in business.

Last week, ‘Boost with Facebook’ came to Dubbo, in partnership with Buy from the Bush (BFTB) to empower small businesses with the tools and digital skills to flourish their online connectivity.

Buy from the Bush founder Grace Brennan established her business in 2019 after the negative impacts of the drought.

After seeing a lot of conversation turned to the farmers, Grace said there was no acknowledgement given to small business and the women who were also struggling.

What started as a social media campaign has sparked long term growth for small businesses and communities across regional Australia, Grace said “BFTB has morphed into a successful purpose-driven business with more than 550,000 followers”.

With the immediate growth of BFTB, Grace was surprised Facebook contacted her to support the idea behind the brand.

“They quickly put me in touch with a digital marketing agency

and planned a strategic ad campaign,” she continued saying the partnership fermented the infrastructure around the developing idea and produced quality strategies to share stories.

“Once it started to grow, that’s when I knew the business had legs to stand on,” Grace said, remarking that people resonated with the idea of the story behind the brand and the idea of meaningful consumption.

Grace shared that it was vital for the brand to not be associated with crisis relief but reflected through long term sustainable investment.

Grace told Dubbo Photo News that people have a larger appetite for buying Australian made products and the pandemic renewed the interest for an Australian market.

“Small businesses from the bush were used to being away from their customers and isolated in a way, so when the pandemic came around, a lot of businesses were used to engagement through an online platform,” Grace explained.

Leaving a corporate job to start her own hat business ‘PHYLLi Designs’, Laura Hall explained how living unsustainably in Sydney through the beginnings of Cov-

id motivated her to move to her hometown of Scone.

Initially starting her business prior to Covid, she said there was no opportunity to grow and due to her father being diagnosed with terminal cancer she returned to her family’s property.

The day after her father’s funeral, Laura shared BFTB posted her company on their Instagram, and she grew exponentially.

Laura told Dubbo Photo News that her passion behind the business stemmed from her love of the local race days.

“I love getting dressed up and wearing hats and I found there was a gap in the market for well designed everyday hats that could be worn outside of event wear”.

“I wanted to create a sustainable product that could be worn for seasons to come,” she continued, saying the development of the idea got her excited about her product.

Over the past 18 months, Laura has employed six people with a hope of employing two more in the coming months, she said she is thrilled to provide people the opportunity to learn new skills in the hat making industry.

Meta head of policy programs Alisha Elliott said building a relationship with regional Australia is vital to grow small businesses.

“We want to provide a platform where people are using digital tools to connect with customers around Australia and the world,” Alisha expressed, saying that through connecting on online media platforms, brands are enabled to sell their identify through frequent content.

“The pandemic has shown a real testament of not only their tenacity, creativity and innovation, but the role of digital tools to enable growth as well,” she continued, saying that small business owners are changing the narrative of regional Australia.

THERE’S always a shortage of professionals such as veterinarians in regional areas such as Dubbo and outlying towns so it’s concerning that the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) is claiming vet mental health is at breaking point.

The AVA says the likelihood of a mental health condition is 5 per cent higher in the veterinary profession than the general population and is calling on both major parties ahead of the Federal Election to commit to investing $3 million over five years to save the lives and wellbeing of Australian veterinarians.

“The veterinary profession is an extremely rewarding profession, but we’re so busy looking after the community’s animals that we don’t have time to look after ourselves,” according to AVA president, Dr Warwick Vale, “This research backs up what veterinarians already know – our profession is not in good health and in order for us to serve the community we need a healthy thriving profession “I’ve been to too many funerals of colleagues, I’ve seen too many colleagues drop out of the profession, and I’ve seen too many colleagues break under the strain.

Outback Bingo in your own backyard

By JOHN RYAN BACKYARD Bingo is apparently all the rage in the Outback and by the way almost 40 people were avidly waiting for their favourite numbers to be called in the front yard of an Alcheringa Street home one afternoon, it seems the game is taking off in Dubbo.

While most of the participants were more than happy for Dubbo photo News to record the event on our pages, most of the crew didn’t want to be in the story themselves.

George Cubby was one player who was more than happy to be photographed, complete with his homemade Bingo Board and the bowl of dirt he uses,

grabbing a pinch of soil to cover his numbers when they’re called out.

“It’s mad, I love it,” George said.

“I’m the best player here, bud.”

Kyiesha Edwards said Backyard Bingo had become a highlight of the week for her family and friends.

“I’m just playing Bingo at Joe’s house with Joney and the sisters and all that in the yard,” she said.

“It’s very fun, we’ve seen it everywhere, everywhere in the Outback, come along and enjoy the game.”

Dubbo Photo News April 7-13, 2022

New candidate asks: Is it time to think green?

By TIJANA BIRDJAN NGEMBA woman and Green’s Party candidate, Trish Frail, says it’s time for a political change in the electorate in the upcoming federal election.

Parkes has been a safe Nationals seat since the electorate was created in 1984, and Ms Frail believes the region is finally ready to progress with policies and move with the future.

Originally from Brewarrina, she is a proud Indigenous community member and small business owner, operating a local cafe specialising in Australian native delicacies.

When the opportunity for new leadership became available, Ms Frail announced her candidacy with a platform of having a strong impact for other women in the region.

“I have always loved seeing women have a voice in the community,” she continues, expressing her concerns for the needs of women and families and domestic violence issues.

Previously working in a women’s refuge and the Aboriginal Women’s Legal Centre, Ms Frail says the need for having women represent rural and remote communities is crucial.

With women earning an average of 14 per cent less than male colleagues in the same industry, and a staggering 24 per

Trish Frail.

cent less in the care industry, Ms Frail says closing the wage gap is vital.

Living on the Darling River, Ms Frail told Dubbo Photo News she holds grave concerns about the environmental policies which are currently held by the Nationals.

“I challenge Mark Coulton to tell the truth about climate change,” she demanded.

Over recent years, the Parkes electorate has survived a drought, bushfires, Covid and other tragic disasters, however, Ms Frail explains the environmental policies do not execute the needs of the people.

“I’ve been extremely concerned about the native fish and plants in the river systems.

“The Greens have fantastic policies regarding green energy, and we want to promote to people that we can become coal and

gas free over a gradual time.

“We want to have conversations with people and reassure them of a safe future.”

Ms Frail believes coal and gas production will not be cut rapidly, but over a gradual time.

With health being a prominent issue in recent years, Ms Frail also believes rural and regional towns need greater accessibility to visiting their local doctors.

“Some towns do not have an established doctor and need to travel to surrounding towns to receive medical treatment,” she says, posing the question: “What happens when a patient does not have access to transport?

Whether patients live in regional or metropolitan cities, accessible healthcare should not discriminate based on where they live, she believes.

Ms Frail told Dubbo Photo News the Greens are determined to push for dental care to be covered by Medicare so as to provide a greater range of services delivered by the government.

Through decades of political history, it is evident that housing and employment policies have been a continuous issue in the community, she says, but believes the government is continuing to discredit the concern.

“We don’t want to be stuck in the past, so let’s move forward together.”

Street signs saving lives

By TIJANA BIRDJAN LOCAL residents might notice something different when passing garbage bins around Dubbo and Wellington.

Automated external defibrillator (AED) location signs have been added in eight different locations to display where an AED can be found.

Instigator of the AED programme George Chapman said he initially approached council four years ago suggesting investing in location signs.

There are currently over 200 AEDs dispatched in Dubbo and surrounding towns, with an accompanying free app found on the Heart of Nation website to direct users to the closest AED available.

CEO of Heart of the Nation, Greg Page OAM, President of West Dubbo Rotary Club Colin Shanks, and Dub-

bo Cardiac Support Group member Gary Hayten unveiled the signs on Tuesday morning, with each group contributing to the funding.

“I was in Singapore over four years ago and they had signs on every street corner, and thought to myself, ‘We should have that in Dubbo,’” Mr Chapman said.

“It took a lot of work, but we are thrilled to have the signs here today,” he continued, suggesting the community will be thrilled knowing they can be provided access to an AED when necessary.

Mr Chapman said if the signs get damaged the West Dubbo Rotary Club have committed to covering the ongoing cost of the signs.

“Dubbo, Wellington and surrounding towns are now a lot safer if you were to suffer a heart attack,” he continued, saying AEDs save lives.

Wild winds hammer Dubbo van on North Coast

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S John Morris has had plenty of first-hand insight into how tough people are having it on the NSW North Coast these past few weeks.

He’s been caravanning around the area and has seen plenty of wild weather, rain, and the dislocation caused to so many residents in that area.

“We arrived at Urunga on Monday the 21st March for our annual ‘old trucking mates’ get-together,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

“Four motorhomes and six caravans. We came from Katherine (NT), Toowoomba, Gold Coast and Dubbo. Last Wednesday night we had a fierce wind and rainstorm.

“Four inches (100mm) of rain in two hours and wild wind, it wrecked 8-10 caravan annexes including ours.”

That wasn’t the worst of the rain, with a further eight inches (200mm) the next night.

“After eight inches on Tuesday night the SES came around on Wednesday morning and told us to evacuate as soon as possible,” Mr Morris said.

About 85-90 caravans and motorhomes were forced to get offsite and he said it was incredibly difficult to have to pack so much wet gear as the rain kept tumbling down.

He said those evacuated vans and motorhomes were then “stacked everywhere” around town on higher ground.

“We found a vacant, bitumen sealed block next to the Bowling

Rating a waiting game A SIGH of relief swept through Dubbo residents with large mortgages as the long-anticipated interest rate rise failed to eventuate this month.

At its April monetary policy meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to keep the nation’s official cash rate on hold at 0.10 per cent.

There may have been no change to the cash rate from this decision but the past few weeks has seen intense competition in the retail home loan market as banks slash their rates in a bid to gain market share, with plenty of cash-back lures to entice borrowers to refinance their properties.

John Morris said no caravan awning could stand up to the frightening wind gusts which rocked the park he was staying at. Right: It never rains but it pours - a week in the life of a Dubbo caravanner on the state’s North Coast.

Club, some left altogether.

“Twenty-four inches (602mm) in eight days, it was horrendous,” Mr Morris said, but he added that compared to the trial and tribulations that have hit so many North Coast residents so hard, that “Life’s Good”.

He also feels for local businesses up in that area, many of whom may find it difficult to ever recover.

“There’s only 20-25 per cent of the sites at the park occupied now post evacuation and heavy rain – before it was about 90 per cent,” he said.

“Big blow to the local businesses.”

As an old trucky, John Morris just happened to have all the tools and materials on hand to make his own repairs to the shattered and bent caravan awning.

Fuelling anger

By JOHN RYAN JACK Ayoub is the ALP candidate for the vast electorate of Parkes in the upcoming federal election.

In this Q&A he told John Ryan it’s time to stop the politics and develop longer term strategies to ensure the nation has ensured access to reasonably priced fuel.

••• Petrol prices: both major parties have always said they’d fix the prices yet it never happens. Does the ALP have any policies you believe can help at the bowser in the short and long term?

Our focus is on the rising cost of living which needs to be addressed before Australia starts to seriously slide backwards. This current crisis certainly forms part of that. I think of the people who are forced to travel hundreds of kilometres for medical treatment and how this will affect their families and their quality of life. I believe that as our energy mix changes we need to seek sensible long term policy solutions to these questions.

So many current excuses are being advanced to explain fuel prices, yet with a barrel of oil dropping below US$100 this week, high prices reek of windfall corporate profits – do we need to keep rampant corporate profits in check with a proper tax to make sure they don’t exploit these sorts of situations?

Firstly, the price of oil has been particularly volatile. In late February, the price of oil was sitting at around $91, yet by March 8, it was $123 – this volatility reflects

the risk inherent in global trends.

So, while oil may have dropped to below $100 late last week, this price is not stable enough to base sound policy on.

Secondly, I do think corporations need to be kept in check, particularly in an age where the cost of living has fallen into a state of crisis. Also, as the price of inputs rises as a result of the increasing cost of transportation and issues relating to the reliability/accessibility of energy sources, greater market oversight will be crucial to prevent the type of price gouging that you refer to. The cost of inputs is a very pressing issue that deserves closer attention – nobody wants a circumstance where Australia experiences stagflation.

How difficult is it for people in regional areas to fill up their cars at the moment?

Filling your car up is an inevitability. There is no choice in the matter, particularly for those that rely on their car for work purposes as well as for their private transportation, which in the regional is basically everyone. I have had many a conversation with people across the electorate about the exorbitant prices, with one lady noting that she has had to temporarily adapt her small business to minimise her fuel consumption. Aside from this, I’ve kept across a lot of online community forums in recent weeks, and the issue of fuel prices has surfaced regularly there too.

How tough is it for farmers?

Farmers face great strain, and the common theme that sits be-

Regional homebuyers crippled by surging prices

Jack Ayoub says the sharp upward spike in fuel prices is adversely affecting so many facets of life in regional centres like his hometown of Coonabarabran. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

neath their challenges is the fact that vital supply chains have not been managed with the level of foresight that is required. From fertiliser, oil, water and trade relationships, the foundations of the agricultural sector have been eroded by a government that has failed to be proactive.

I’ve spoken to truckies who tell me the price of diesel is rising so quickly that if they quote a job they often can’t afford to do it if it’s a few days later – how ridiculous is this?

I had a similar conversation with a good friend of mine just the other day. They run a family business and have longstanding relationships with the businesses they transport for. The fact that they are having to withhold quotes and negotiate pricing puts them at risk of losing long-term contracts, while it also places them in uncomfortable situations during the negotiation process. The latter point may not seem important, but in the regions, your word matters, and your ability to offer an honest service is crucial. In short,

utterly ridiculous.

Have successive governments – Coalition and ALP – let this get out of hand?

Unfortunately, the Labor party has been out of government for nine years. During this time, they have consistently advocated for proactive government, for a government that prioritises foresight.

We’ve now found ourselves in this current position; if it has gotten out of hand, who else could be at fault than the coalition government of the past nine years.

Is now the time to fix it?

Yes. However, the discussion must involve a combination of carefully considered structural adjustments, and more tactical measures that assist Australia in managing its affairs during a time of great geopolitical uncertainty. Equally, I am of the view that Australia needs a national fuel reserve that is held onshore. For our national security interests and economic interests, it is not ok that we rely upon deeply vulnerable shipping lanes for the vast majority of supply.

MANY Dubbo residents feel they’ve been forever shut out of owning their own home and PowerHousing Australia, the national peak representative body for social and affordable housing, is calling upon the next Federal Government to address housing affordability.

After a massive surge in house prices in 2021, new figures show a 19-35 per cent increase in dwelling prices and a 10-13 per cent increase in rents in just one year in the central west Federal electorate of Parkes.

With the May Federal election set to be called this weekend, PowerHousing Australia CEO Nicholas Proud has written to Federal parliamentarians asking them to consider the mounting challenge whereby the price rise in just one year requires an additional five years of being in debt to buy the same house.

Double bassoon duo coming to Dubbo T

he Sydney Symphony Orchestra is coming to Dubbo Regional Theatre on Thursday, 28 April at 7.30pm performing music by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and more.

The audience get the opportunity to hear two bassoonists, Matthew Wilkie and Todd Gibson-Cornish performing Vanhal’s Concerto for Two Bassoons, a double bassoon concerto.

“It’s a very rare and unique opportunity to experience the bassoon,” Todd expressed.

“It showcases the virtuosic passages blended with long singing lines with a fun dialogue,” he said, explaining how the characters are shown through the music.

The duo has performed internationally together, bringing the influence of the Australian orchestra to European soil.

Having a musical household with both his parents being musicians, Todd’s passion for the bassoon stemmed from the age of three, with his parents having a cassette of someone playing the bassoon and he gravitated to the sound.

“I was determined to play it, I knew that is what I wanted to do,” he said and while his parents introduced him to a mini cello, he wasn’t fulfilled.

When he was six years old he start-

tionally, Matthew and Todd expressed that each venue has its own unique sound.

Todd was appointed principal bassoon of SSO at age 21 after Matthew was assigned principal emeritus bassoon.

“I’ve been with SSO for nearly six years and Matthew has really mentored me well through that,” Todd shared, saying that Matthew and he have developed a strong musical and personal bond that can be uncovered through their performance.

Matthew said that Todd is his son’s age, so he views him like a second son, and he said they’ve created a great friendship throughout the years.

Matthew has been performing bassoon for more than four decades, with his experience and expertise enabling him to give masterclasses in Europe and Japan.

ed playing the mini bassoon and he said the sound resonated with him, he continued saying “it was clear that from an early age I wanted to play the instrument.”

Born and raised in New Zealand, Todd travels consistently performing and recording music.

“I live in Sydney, but this pandemic has really left performing musicians without an audience to their own devices,” he continued, saying there has been a loss in motivation as he did not have any performances to look forward to.

Matthew said he started playing the flute initially, but progressed into the bassoon, he continued saying “it’s a very unusual instrument”.

Born in Orange, Matthew is looking forward to returning to regional NSW. To purchase tickets, head to Sydney Symphony Orchestra online. https://www.sydneysymphony.com/

NSW 'tightens' rules on councillors' conflicts of interests

By STEPH ALLEN A PUSH by NSW Labor to ban property developers from having a place on local councils has been held under scrutiny by parliamentary figures, with Minister for Local Government Wendy Tuckerman confirming the NSW government would not be in support.

Despite instances raised regarding a number of incidents where councillors failed to disclose whether they were developers or close associates of developers, Mrs Tuckerman said she felt there were sufficient frameworks in place for those ‘representing in their community to be able to disclose their interests’.

Member for Dubbo Dugald

Saunders said the government had ‘legislated a number of integrity measures to tighten the rules governing councillor conflicts of interest and to strengthen the penalties for councillors who put their own private interests ahead of their community’s’.

“These measures include increasing transparency requirements when a property developer or their close associate stands for election to councils, allowing voters to make their own choice on whether to elect such persons to their local council; creating significant disincentives against councillors misusing their civic office for their own personal benefit, with councillors required to surrender to their council any profit gained

Funding supports end to domestic violence programs

By STEPH ALLEN A FUNDING extension of $3.6 million has been allocated to programs for caseworkers, schools, multicultural communities and women with disabilities that will help prevent domestic and family violence.

Minister for Women's Safety and the Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence Natalie Ward said the package was in addition to nearly $20 million already invested in the Domestic and Family Violence Innovation Fund since its inception in 2016.

“When we consider that an estimated 17 per cent of women in Australia aged 18 years and over have reported experiencing violence by a partner since the age of 15, we can truly understand the importance of these initiatives,” she said.

Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the funding will help deliver programs that empower women and communities across NSW. Some of the programs include Wagga Women’s Health Centre’s DV Project: 2650, Relationships Australia’s Building Stronger Families, OzChild’s Functional Family Therapy, and Grand Pacific Health’s Black Box Parenting: Train the Trainer; workshops for parents with a history of domestic family violence, with a focus on regional NSW. “These initiatives will create real change, supporting women, families and communities to prevent domestic and family violence,” Mrs Taylor said.

“Many of the successful organisations have a focus on regional NSW, where there is a high demand for these services. This is about ensuring there is a secure, supportive environment for victim-survivors of domestic violence.”

The Fund was developed by the NSW Department of Communities and Justice to support innovative early intervention, prevention and crisis solutions.

through the misuse of their office; requiring councillors to publicly disclose and appropriately manage their conflicts of interests, and ensuring people who stand for election to councils are fit and proper candidates,” Mr Saunders said.

At a public hearing for the inquiry into budget estimates 20212022 on March 8 2022, Mrs Tuckerman responded to questions about previous councillors who had failed to disclose related interests, including councillors who were also real estate agents.

“The Government is always prepared to consider further options to promote community confidence in councils and council decision-making and ensure the right people are leading our communi-

ties,” she said.

“That said, it is vital that any proposed changes to how the integrity of councils and council decision-making is governed are assessed in a measured way, with careful consideration given to ensure that they are non-discriminatory and will not have unintended and perverse consequences on the democratic process.

“The integrity measures legislated by the government in recent years are more proportionate and better targeted at addressing the risks of conflicts of interest, vested interest and bias for all who serve on councils in New South Wales, and an outright ban on certain persons serving on councils.”

FORMAL balls to honour the sacrifices made by those who served for Australia used to be common events and now some local veterans are staging a Salute to Service Ball on April 23 so locals who served in the nations armed services can get together for a night out, and friends and family can thank and support them for that service.

Army veteran Brigette Glynn told Dubbo Photo News the ball is also set to raise funds for a very important cause.

“The Ball is to raise money for the new Veterans; community house, a place for veterans and serving members to go to get help with claims and to be around people that understand,” she said.

Last year Dubbo Photo News featured Brigette and husband Luke, who’s also a veteran and she said telling their stories had seen a huge weight lift off their shoulders.

Punters savvy to cause of petrol price pain says Coulton

By JEN COWLEY THE people of the Parkes electorate are smarter than some political commentators give them credit for when it comes to fuel prices, according to the man who has represented all 109,000 of them for the past 14 years.

Mark Coulton, whose patch of political ground covers more than half the state, says while he welcomes the government’s decision to halve fuel tax for the next six months to ease the petrol pump pain for punters, most of his constituents are “smart enough” to understand why fuel prices spiked, and that it’s not due to the excise.

Some commentators and wannabe operatives have seen fuel price rises and the debate over the fuel excise as an opportunity to score political points, according to the seasoned representative who has thrown his hat into the ring for a tilt at a fifth term at the coming federal election.

He says arguing over the exact split of revenue gathered from the original 44 cents per litre excise is purely semantics.

“The majority of the fuel excise is spent on roads – some of it goes to other essential services and people can get into petty debate as to the precise percentages, but the basic tenet of gathering this

tax through fuel is that the money will be reinvested in the maintenance and construction of roads, which is particularly important in regional areas such as ours.”

Given the size of his electorate, Mr Coulton is on the road and “fuelling up every couple of days” and says he’s acutely conscious of the fluctuations in price at the bowser.

“I know how expensive it has been to fill the tank and how much those rises hurt, but we also have things impacting the cost of living, such as the floods and the subsequent rise in the price of fresh fruit and vegetables. There’s a lot happening, and people know and understand this.

“The biggest mistake political commentators can make is to underestimate the intelligence of the Australian people. They’re not mugs. They know why prices have gone up, and yes, it’s impacting them greatly, but most people understand why.”

As a farmer himself, Mr Coulton says the impact of rising fuel prices on farmers isn’t as direct as people might believe, given the diesel fuel tax is actually rebated, or returned, to the farmer.

“That’s another battle we have all the time because the Greens and Labor in Canberra seem to see that as some kind of subsidy to

farmers and miners.

“Where fuel prices impact on farmers is the cost of getting their grain and produce to market and their inputs to the farm gate.”

The greatest impact of a spike in fuel prices, Mr Coulton agrees, is on those who are on lower and fixed incomes who have to travel to and from work, and who are directly affected by any rise in the cost of living.

“They’re the ones we really need to look out for.”

And that, he says, is precisely what the government has done.

“It’s looked out for those people most impacted, by halving the fuel excise for the next six months.

There’s also a one-off cash payment of $250 for those on benefits and in June there will also be a tax rebate for low- and middle-income earners.

“The government has listened.”

Although the headline act in last week’s budget was the halving of the fuel excise, Mr Coulton had initially sounded warning bells against any lowering of the tax, even in the face of rising prices at the petrol pump.

Speaking with Dubbo Photo News ahead of the budget, the Member for Parkes said: “My constituents are big users of fuel, but they’re also big users of roads and sometimes when you

take something away it’s hard to get it back – we need to be careful that we don’t remove all avenues for the government to generate income, because we’re also looking to governments to do more to help out when things are particularly tough.”

Mr Coulton stands by that caveat and is keen for people to keep those concerns in mind.

“I want to reinforce that this is a temporary measure and people need to remember that the excise will go back up after six months when, hopefully, things might have settled down globally,” he told Dubbo Photo News, adding that the government has also put measures in place to call on other ways of ensuring the nations’ roads don’t suffer in the absence of excise revenue.

“We are finding other ways of funding roads. In the budget, there was quite a bit of funding for roads – in my electorate, for instance, there was $257 million for the Newell and another round of funding for community infrastructure for councils, so we are keeping that funding up.

“But the excise has been a standard form of revenue, so hopefully when things settle down in Europe, it’ll be able to go back to normal.”

Councillors free to speak, says mayor

By BROOKE JACOBSON GRIFFITH City Council has recently dumped its “gag” policy on councillors and committee members, allowing them to speak freely to the media, but Dubbo mayor Mathew Dickerson says there’s no need for a similar policy here.

Speaking to the Dubbo Photo News, Cr Dickerson said councillors were “encouraged” to speak freely on any topic.

“For any matter coming up to council, I think it is important for the community to understand how

councillors are thinking about any particular issue,” he said. “(And) they make these comments as councillors.”

Griffith City Council had recently proposed a clause which stated all councillors and committee members could communicate with the media as private individuals, but with a restriction that they could not be identified as committee members or councillors; and that only the mayor could comment on council policy.

The clause was defeated almost unanimously.

“The current media pro-

tocols policy for council states that the mayor is the primary spokesperson for decisions made at council meetings,” Cr Dickerson said.

“The mayor is also officially the primary spokesperson for political issues such as government announcements and significant council projects.

“I don't see any reason to take a motion to council to change this because the current policy works well.

“Councillors talk about issues and give their individual opinions before an issue goes to an official vote of council.

“The community hears why councillors are thinking a certain way.

“Once the debate is over and a formal decision is made, it is then a resolution of council and to ensure all media outlets hear the same thing, having one spokesperson on council resolutions makes sense.”

Cr Dickerson added the Local Government Act, sections 226 and 232, laid out the roles of council members quite clearly.

“Section 226 – the role of mayor – is ‘to be the principal member and spokesperson of the gov-

erning body, including representing the views of the council as to its local priorities’; and section 232 – the role of councillor – is ‘to facilitate communication between the local community and the governing body’,” he said.

“Those two combined say to me that councillors should communicate with the community and consult with the community before a decision of council – in their role as a councillor not as a private citizen – and then, after a decision, leave it to the mayor to speak about that decision of council.”

Petrol’s parliamentary pain

By JOHN RYAN

MENDOORAN farmer turned Liberal Democrats’ candidate Peter Rothwell says he’s disgusted with the nation’s parliamentary procedures and processes and believes it’s simply a rotten joke being played on the population.

He wants to see the fuel excise, a federal tax that earns billions of dollars a year, scrapped to give ordinary people and small businesses some financial relief but believes both major parties are only worried about how to best grandstand to win the next election.

“So much of the conversations I hear on the radio, reading the papers is coalition government members saying all sorts of things, Angus Taylor was quoted the other day saying the full $11 billion raised by fuel excise is spent on roads and that if we chip into that, our roads are going to suffer,” Mr Rothwell told Dubbo Photo News.

“Mark Coulton (Parkes MP) was on the radio and when he was pressed on it, he didn’t know, he couldn’t come up with an answer.”

Mr Rothwell says he’s very concerned that he can’t find enough up-to-date solid, factual data in the figures to determine precisely what per centage of the massive fuel excise slug is really and truly being spent on roads, which

was the tax’s intended purpose when it was introduced.

He says it appears that only a small per centage of the excise makes it anywhere near our poor road infrastructure.

“It’s very hard to get any of these sort of figures, I’ve looked pretty hard – I can find figures from a 10-year period from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s and during that time these figures were quoting about one and a half billion dollars a year being spent on roads and that’s out of a fuel excise take which raised $9 – $10 billion so it’s not even close,” he said.

“We know for a fact that money goes into consolidat-

ed revenue so any comment saying the excise is all directly related to road funding is not true.

“The great point here is why can’t politicians have an honest discussion about it, get some truth out there and as a community we can make better decisions based on those real numbers.”

The Liberal Democrats have pledged to cut the 44.2 cent per litre fuel tax which the party says will stop a double taxation “whammy” of the excise with GST added on top.

Peter Rothwell says that during the height of the pandemic when fuel dropped below 90c per litre in many

places, the double taxation of excise and GST saw government taxes make up over 50 per cent of the cost.

“Now fuel prices have skyrocketed and cost of living is spiralling out of control, we finally hear other parties joining our long-term criticism of the fuel excise tax”.

“Fuel plays an enormous role in our economy with nearly every small and large business affected. High fuel prices are a drain on incomes that flow all the way down the line to consumers,” he said.

The Liberal Democrats have labelled the fuel excise as particularly regressive because it punishes people living in regional areas who commute long distances every day. It’s also a disincentive for families to travel to the regions on the weekends as it’s simply too costly to fill up.

“Voters need a low-tax parliamentary voice to stop the money-hungry Lib-LabGreens alliance from sucking consumers dry at the petrol pump,” Mr Rothwell declared.

“The complete and permanent elimination of fuel excise is just one way that a party that is truly committed to Less Government and More Freedom can work to reduce the cost of living for ordinary families.”

The federal government bowed to politica

FLAIR FOR FLORISTRY

Blooming good career attracts the creative type

By STEPH ALLEN

THEY are simple acts of kindness or thoughtful gifts, given on anniversaries, to new mums, or send condolences.

Whatever the occasion, one thing is for certain – flowers have a way of bringing us closer.

Flowers by Jennifer owner Jennifer Bjorksten has been a florist for around 30 years, and opened her own business in Dubbo 22 years ago.

Ms Bjorksten grew up with a passion for the pretty plants, spending plenty of time in the garden as a child.

It was a childhood surrounded by the natural beauty of blossoming buds that planted a seed in her for a lifelong career.

“I have plenty of favourites.

Roses are always divine, and a lot of old fashion flowers like snap dragons are always lovely.

All flowers are lovely,” she said.

Ms Bjorksten has used her passion for flowers to put four local girls through Tafe and train them for their qualifications in floristry (Certificate I, II or III in Floristry).

In her eyes, those who naturally shine in a career in floristry are those with a creative flair.

“You don’t have to have a green thumb,” she said.

“They need to have a love of flowers, and a flair for colour.

The rest can be learnt from Tafe.”

According to Ms Bjorksten, flowers can be sent to others for sympathy, expressions of love, celebration or to cheer others up.

The florist saw a boost in sales over the Covid-19 pandemic, when people were kept apart due to lockdowns and isolation.

“In lockdown it was particularly (busy) because there were no parties for celebrations... it was very sad but the saddest thing was people in nursing homes not being able to have visitors,” she said.

“It was definitely a busy time because people were basically locked down and couldn’t visit so sending flowers was a gesture that (loved ones) were thinking of them.”

For Ms Bjorksten, the joy flow-

ers bring others is rewarding in its own right, as well as the expression of creativity.

“I love working in the atmosphere with flowers. It’s such a beautiful smell. I have a lot of plants in here too and really love them,” she said.

“It’s just a lovely atmosphere and customers are wonderful and we enjoy interacting with them and helping them out with what they want or need.”

Flowers have often been used to signify certain emotions, relationships or occasions in the past, including red roses for love and yellow roses and flowers for friendship.

“If you love flowers and love to do it, just approach a florist because maybe they’re looking for a trainee...get a Tafe course and qualification for life and it can take you anywhere,” she said.

“It’s a great career and very satisfying.

“Thank you to Dubbo for supporting my small business. We really do appreciate it.”

Destigmatising dementia in Dubbo

By TIJANA BIRDJAN MORE than 65 per cent of Australian aged care residents are living with moderate to severe cognitive impairment, with dementia also being the leading cause of death for women.

Australia’s aging population is increasing, but our services remain stagnant – especially in regional and rural areas.

Freshly starting a dementia services small business, Yarnie Therapies, Amy Inglis was originally studying an art therapy course which led to further studies of dementia care.

Losing her grandmother to dementia in 2020, Amy says that through her education she’s aware of how much she could have improved her grandmother’s later years of life.

“At the time it was so raw,” she shared.

Before commencing her diploma she was unaware of the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia and believes a lot of people are in the same position.

After choosing to specialise

her art therapy studies in dementia care, Amy realised there was a strong need to establish a network and extend her services and education to people individually.

From early to later stages of dementia, Amy advocates the importance of community acknowledgement and stigma the community holds.

“With established dementia-friendly communities around rural Australia like Yarnie Therapies, I want people to understand that it doesn’t all have to end because you have a diagnosis in dementia,” Amy expressed.

“Being out in the community is vital with older age and lots of people are choosing to stay at home as there is not enough support for them,” she continued.

People with dementia are almost twice as likely to experience waves of loneliness than others, but Amy also wants to share that it is not all about suffering.

“Seeing older people laugh and have fun is really what it is about and knowing they can be themselves again,” she expressed.

Progressing through the diag-

nosis, Amy says people become less confident – making themselves more vulnerable in the community.

She told Dubbo Photo News her business venture is a trial run with multiple events coming up as she still has six months left to complete her diploma.

Throughout the course Amy met founder of Art Connect Creative, Sophie Kijas who also shares a passion for dementia awareness.

After meeting a year ago, the duo has organised support activity groups focusing on people living with dementia to increase engagement and enhance community relationships.

Art for All will be held at the Western Plains Cultural Centre on Tuesday 12 April from 11.00am-1.00pm.

There is also a day retreat featuring painting, meditation and various other activities on Saturday 9 April from 10.30am-4.00pm.

For booking information, please contact Amy on 0410056427

Discovering Dundullimal and Dubbo’s worst disasters

By TIJANA BIRDJAN INITIALLY applying for a volunteering position as a researcher for the National Trust at Dundullimal Homestead, Karlyn Robinson was offered a part-time position, uncovering Dubbo’s greatest secrets.

Commencing her role three years ago, Ms Robinson values the importance of continuing to educate generations on the farming and agricultural lifestyle presented a century ago.

She conducts research on undiscovered stories of property owners, farmers, storekeepers, and convicts to express the difference of lifestyle across generations.

“It is critical to showcase these stories as the heritage is not known today or often forgotten about,” she said.

In partnership with Macquarie Regional Library, Ms Robinson presented a themed talk discussing accidents and incidents reoccurring in the 1800s on working on

farmlands.

The talk highlighted the dangers of a risky environment while acknowledging the importance of occupational health and safety.

“Rural accidents which occurred back then such as falling trees, unattended guns and bolting horses would not happen today,” she expressed, recognising it’s still significant to this day to recognise the hardship of agriculture.

While sharing a few local stories, she said she retracted the gruesome details to keep it lighter: “They were still depressing to listen to”.

Ms Robinson told Dubbo Photo News that her favourite story in her presentation was the anecdote of Ruby Green, a 22-year-old woman who was murdered in 1936.

“There are a lot of stories like that unfortunately, and I’m always so fascinated with them”, she said.

Ms Robinson published ‘Remarkable Women in the Central West’ last year acknowledging the challenges of medical treatments and

She told Dubbo Photo News that she continues to seek new stories and often gets surprised by her discoveries, she continued saying “sometimes you end up going down a deep rabbit hole and still get shocked”.

With an abundance of undiscovered stories to keep her occupied, Ms Robinson shared she has a strong passion for uncovering the unknown.

The partnership contains a series of six talks including anecdotes of the Brocklehurst Brothers, church grounds and historical gardens.

Audience member Dianne Pace said she enjoyed the experience and was looking forward to more library talks.

As well as absorbing stories from Dubbo pioneers, Ms Pace expressed she was happy being out and among people again.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Crime prevention tips IN a perfect world we wouldn’t need police but, unfortunately, we’re not living in a perfect world.

That said, it’s always wise to take every reasonable precaution to thwart those low-life crooks who believe they have more rights to your hard-earned stuff than you do.

It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is, and every crime we can prevent through taking those precautions mean one less crime our police have to spend their time chasing up – believe me, I wouldn’t want the job of a cop, there’s never any downtime when you’re on duty and so many officers feel compelled to go into the station on days off just to catch up on the endless paperwork these crimes generate.

Orana Mid-Western Police District is always more than happy to give locals tips so you’re less likely to be targeted by these crims in the first place, and to improve your security.

Police say there are many tools available to you that can be used to protect your home or business, some of these could be simple changes made in and around your residence/business, for example: z Keeping your garden and shrubs trimmed to increase visibility; z Installing timer lights to your business after hours to light up the inside of the premises when you are not there; z Moving the garbage bin from under the stairs of a high-set house and replacing it elsewhere in your yard (so that would-be criminals cannot use the bin as a ladder to gain entry to your home).

Police say just making sure everything is locked up when you leave is a great first step and are encouraging locals to make it second nature, just like wearing your seat belt.

And engage with the neighbours – they will know better than anyone else generally who is in the area and who shouldn’t be.

Country crooks cost us plenty

home.

He said the floor was covered in blood and syringes and he said a bloke from Melbourne had stopped for a shower at the same time and he was disgusted at the state of what are meant to be amenities for the use of the public.

He warned the local bloke that he nearly got pricked by a syringe that had been stuck behind the toilet door.

“I tried council and I sat on hold for almost half an hour and gave up, I called the police and warned them that someone, even a child, could get injured. There’s even an electrical power lead hooked up in the main part where you wash your hands and it was sitting in the sink, so someone could get electrocuted,” he said.

Heartless bike thief THIS bike belonged to a 74-yearold, Peter, who worked hard to pay to have it fixed up, so that he can still exercise and stay active when he can.

The bike was locked up behind the gates at Dubbo Men’s Shed and

the thief apparently jumped the fence, put tape over the CCTV security camera and stole the bike.

It’s just so bloody disgusting in the first place that anyone would steal anything from the locked yard of an organisation that has supported our community in so many ways.

Trail bikes out of control THERE are ever more reports of people on trail bikes hooning around residential areas where they’re not only disturbing the peace, they’re also risking injury to anyone on the footpaths or riding and driving in close proximity.

This photo shows one such incident. The witnesses said in this case there were two bikes with ‘at least’ two people on each, no helmets and no lights during their night excursions.

Many of these trail bikes are stolen in the first place.

I can’t believe how brazen these thieves are. One mate who chased one of these critters a while back had him cornered before the crook pulled a sharp implement This pushbike was stolen from Dubbo Men’s Shed and owner Peter would like it back. If anyone has any information, please call local police.

Sandy Beach toilets YEP, I know, we’ve all heard stories about this toilet block that you wouldn’t believe.

The latest one was from a local who was walking his dog down by the river on Sunday morning and when he called in to fill up his water bottle he found someone had moved in and was using it as a

from his pocket as a threat. That didn’t work too well for him.

Fuel Theft WITH the sky-high price of fuel these days, having it stolen in any significant quantity is a big hit to the bottom line.

It’s long been a problem for farmers, especially in more isolated properties where the crooks can enter and leave without being seen by anyone.

Now these crooks have gone ‘urban’, with Trangie police investigating the theft of a fuel trailer from a property in Derribong Street at Trangie.

The owner believes it was taken sometime between March 6 and 31. It’s described as being a double bogey trailer painted Caterpillar yellow.

Luckily there was no fuel in the trailer at the time of the theft but with the price of fuel trailers these days, that’s only a consolation prize – any bogey fuel trailer is worth at least a few grand.

If you can assist police in respect to this theft, or you know where this trailer is located, please contact Trangie Police Station on 02 6870 2370, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestoppers.com.au.

Dubbo Photo News April 7-13, 2022

Uber controversial bridge – tenders ‘almost’ open

By BROOKE JACOBSON TENDERS are almost open for the construction of the controversial River Street Bridge.

The bridge is expected to cost $220 million, and tenders will be open for eight weeks, from April 28.

The successful head contractor for the main construction contract will be announced by the end of this year, with work starting early next year.

Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Barnaby Joyce, said the Government was investing

$176.2 million in the project.

“We are building the infrastructure that will make our nation as strong as possible as quickly as possible,” Mr Joyce said.

“This new bridge over the Macquarie River in Dubbo will keep commuters and freight moving, ensuring the valuable commodities that earn Australia money continue flowing to ports and overseas markets.”

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, said the bridge was a major investment in western NSW by both the Australian and NSW governments.

“The New Dubbo Bridge will

improve travel efficiency along the Newell Highway, reduce traffic congestion for local and commuter traffic, and improve access across the Macquarie River during flood events,” he said.

“The construction phase will help build a stronger region by injecting millions of dollars in economic activity into Dubbo and support an estimated 290 direct and 1200 indirect jobs.”

A mandatory pre-tender meeting for all prospective pre-qualified tenderers, including a site inspection, will be held next month at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, Dubbo.

Following the meeting, an in-

formation session will be held for local contractors and suppliers to meet prospective tenderers next door to the Western Plains Cultural Centre at ‘The Greens’.

State Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, said the project would inject millions in economic activity into the city.

“This project will provide significant economic opportunities for the western region of NSW and will ensure the local community benefits,” he said.

Businesses and suppliers are encouraged to register their interest with the Industry Capability Network Gateway.

All applicants who download

the tender documents will be registered automatically for the pre-tender meeting in May. The project will be delivered in stages to minimise disruption to the community in Dubbo and traffic on the Newell Highway.

A program of early works to support the main road and bridge construction are also scheduled to begin this year.

Since the route for the new bridge was announced, the project has been subject to intense criticism, with the Roads and Maritime Service refusing to release information many critics believe should be in the public domain.

Offer of sky-high upgrades for our airports

By STEPH ALLEN DUBBO’S airport could soon be the beneficiary of a share of $29 million for vital safety and accessibility upgrades with federal government grants available to cover up to 50 per cent of eligible project costs.

Dubbo Regional Airport manager Jacki Parish said Dubbo Regional Council staff are currently reviewing assets at Dubbo’s airport as well as at Wellington Aerodrome and Recreation Park, including costings and funding strategies for council’s required 50 per cent contribution.

“Of note, pavement specialists are in the region (last) week and will be providing technical advice regarding asset priority,” Ms Parish told Dubbo Photo News.

“A report regarding options will be provided to the April council meeting.

“Council is pleased to see another round of funding to support airport infrastructure that is critical for regional connectivity.”

Dubbo Regional Council previously received funding of $250,000 for heavy patching and resealing works and a further $300,000 for stage two of the patching and resealing works.

“This investment was directed to priority pavement repair and strengthening at the general aviation area at Dubbo Regional Airport, in addition to renewing stormwater infrastructure that was impacting stormwater management both land and air side,” Ms Parish said.

“These works are part of a major staged renewal program addressing priority works outlined in the adopted Dubbo Regional Airport Masterplan.”

Narromine Airport previously received $419,750 for the installation of pilot-activated lighting on the taxiway and at the holding point, and the installation of fencing and an illuminated wind indicator, and $389,000 to construct a new taxiway, reseal the existing taxiways and apron area, remove trees and upgrade the water supply.

Back to the basix DUBBO’S housing crisis shows no signs of abating but the NSW government claims an updating of the building industry BASIX standards, alongside a range of other initiatives, will help deliver more quality and affordable homes in communities across the state.

Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes Anthony Roberts announced the changes this week which he says will develop best practice for liveable and resilient communities – focusing on quality subdivisions, streets and public spaces and achieve net zero targets.

“I have asked the department to proceed with BASIX updates to help people build homes that are more comfortable, save people money on their power bills and contribute to our net zero target,” Mr Roberts said.

“We want to make it easier to build quality, affordable homes – not harder. As I’ve said before, my focus is on changes that help us pave the way for more homes in liveable communities.”

Following extensive consultation with industry and stakeholder groups the NSW Government will not introduce the State Environmental Planning Policy for Design and Place.

By TIJANA BIRDJAN LEAVING his apprenticeship in sheet metal work, never did John Paul Young believe he would be celebrating 50 years in the music industry.

To celebrate 50 years, he is performing at the Dubbo Regional Theatre on 9 April, reflecting on his legendary status in Australian pop.

Mr Young says a lot happened during the first years of his career – from his entrance to theatre, the theatre shows not running to the releasing his first song, ‘Pasadena’, a shy six months later.

He reflects between the years 1971 to 1972 and says that is when he was casted for Jesus Christ Superstar – making their debut performance at the Sydney Capitol Theatre.

Having spent half a century in the music industry, Mr Young says he had too many significant moments to count.

“1972 was also the year I met Molly Meldrum,” he shares that through his years on Countdown, Mr Young and Mr Meldrum were provided with opportunities to express their passion for music during the era.

“It was a very special time – that is when colour tv just arrived,” he laughs.

Releasing hits during the era,

including ‘Yesterday’s Hero’ and ‘Love is in the Air’, Mr Young and his team had eight hits in the top 20.

Mr Young tells Dubbo Photo News before his first Dubbo gig in 1975 he ate garlic prawns and felt extremely sick, he argues with himself saying “I don’t know why people wait to go inland to try seafood”.

He laughs recalling the memory. “After a quick trip to the bathroom I said to myself, ‘the show must go on’ and performed”.

Mr Young has performed in unique venues around Australia – from the Sydney Opera House to backyard sessions in Goodooga, but his favourite is The Empire Theatre in Toowoomba.

“It remains special to me because the community got together and paid for the restorations,” he continues saying the architecture and the communal sense is a great example community involvement.

Mr Young advocates that he has a strong passion in community and will create a significant space between his talent and desire to provide a platform for others.

He shares an anecdote of two Australian soldiers, Harold West, and George Leonard, who were among 5000 Indigenous Australians serving during the Second World War.

Sadly, George Leonard, was killed in battle, Mr Young says a fellow soldier, Bert Beros, wrote a poem, The Coloured Digger, commemorating the men.

More than 60 years on, Mr Young composed the poem to music and is passionate about advocating the history of Aboriginal soldiers.

Every year he travels to Goodooga and performs the poem, accompanied by a ceremony to give recognition to Indigenous Australians, he continues saying “they weren’t even recognised as Australians in the constitution, but they still fought for our country”.

Mid interview, Mr Young expresses that he hates the word ‘journey’, he says “it’s overused, I prefer the word travels”.

Through his travels, Mr Young has advocated strongly about his passion for the Men’s Shed by writing a theme song and featuring as a host in a podcast brought

by The Shed Wireless.

“It was kind of by accident,” he explains his son worked in ABC who knew the host of the show and asked Mr Young to produce a song.

“The guy was too caught up with work and couldn’t continue the podcast, so he asked me if I wanted to step in,” he continues saying his passion stems from

men having an atmosphere to talk and communicate with one another.

“It’s a great way for men to reacquaint themselves with working life or get introduced to it if they’ve never had experience,” he shares.

Growing up surrounded by family orientated music, Mr Young says his mum and dad used to sing to him.

He compares radio from his generation to modern day and shares that when he was a teenager there was a lot more variation offered, he continues saying that “you could listen to radio hard rock, bubble gum music and other tunes all one the one station”.

With the progression of internet and music platforms, young adults are more selective of what they are listening to and how they absorb music.

Mr Young says that after his celebratory tour he hopes to travel around Australia with his son and grandchildren visiting country towns.

John Paul Young will be performing his anniversary tour at Dubbo Regional Theatre on 9 April at 8.00pm.

Plaque honours nature-loving ranger

By STEPH ALLEN NORMAN Spratt had different jobs in his life, including time as a grocer, but it was his 21 years as a Mt Arthur ranger that he remembers the most fondly.

Dubbo Regional Council’s Kellsey Galea’s pa, Mr Spratt, spent most of his days on the mountain, often bringing his grandchildren with him on school holidays walking and raking the trails, marking rocks with paint for walkers, wildlife watching, and keeping the natural attraction trash-free.

On March 26, Mr Spratt’s family gathered at his beloved mountain to unveil a family-funded plaque on Burrungee Trail, honouring his service and care.

“My pa is so humble. He was touched but he was a bit embarrassed because he doesn’t like a fuss...but he was very appreciative,” Ms Galea said.

“We got some family to come from the Gold Coast and Newcastle and we had a little morning tea at the shelter sheds not far from there. We kept it low key – there were 12-15 of us and we gathered there to get a photo and show pa the plaque.

“We liaised with the Mt Arthur Trust and they were happy for us to mount the plaque... for his 21 years of service (from 1983 to 2004).

“He loved that job. He was so passionate about it...and made

sure it was presentable for visitors and the locals.

“He said it was the best job he ever had.”

Mr Spratt, who is also a wellknown cricketer and sportsman, has always had a love

for nature, wildlife, and in the great outdoors.

“He is always asking us what the mountain looks like now.

He’s 96 and can’t get up there as often as he likes and because he’s not driving anymore,

we often take him up there for drives,” Ms Galea said.

“He looks around and looks how it’s being maintained.

“It’s so underutilised and an asset for the whole region...at our own backdoor.”

A 24-hour police presence for Wellington could be in the town’s future, following last week’s council meeting.

Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) discussed a staff report relating to policing and law and order in Wellington.

However, DRC deputy mayor, Richard Ivey, told the Dubbo Photo News the report “only went part-way toward providing information to assist council in lobbying the NSW Government to provide better policing resources for Wellington”. “(Those resources) may include a 24hour police presence,” he said.

“To obtain further information, an amended motion was passed aimed at establishing a council workshop with senior police to examine the current policing position in more detail.

“A further report would then be prepared and presented to council.

“It is hoped that important information can be gained from this workshop which will assist to better understand the current resourcing and operation of the Wellington police.

“This better understanding will in turn help shape subsequent lobbying.”

Council resolved to invite Orana Mid-Western Police District Commander, Superintendent Danny Sullivan, to a workshop of councillors to discuss “matters relating to the need for increased policing for Wellington”.

A report from that workshop will be presented to council at a later date.

Water supply project to ‘drought-proof’ region

By STEPH ALLEN THE next stage of construction works to secure Wellington’s underground water supply in times of severe drought will make the area ‘virtually drought-proof’, according to Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) deputy mayor Richard Ivey.

DRC recently announced it would soon commence the next stage of works to the Wellington Groundwater Pipeline Project.

In June 2019, the NSW govern-

ment announced a $30 million investment to expand the local water supply within the region as part of council’s Water for the Future Strategy.

“I think it’s absolutely fantastic.

It’s hot and dry...and when this is done, Dubbo and the Dubbo Regional Council area will virtually be drought-proof,” Cr Ivey said.

“It may virtually be an absolutely oasis in the area. It doesn’t take away the need – we have water use efficiencies to monitor and carefully use – but to have a re-

liable source is fantastic for this area.

“A bit of work is being done to get the underground water as a buffer for when Burrendong Dam gets down as it did a couple of years ago.

“It’s a real selling point for both economic development, lifestyle and liveability.”

Mr Ivey said the project would supplement the town’s water supply and create less reliance on the river or storage water.

Dubbo Regional Council may-

or Mathew Dickerson said the region had previously experienced the effects of the worst drought on record.

“Whether it be managing water restrictions, the loss of crops, business, access to supplies etc.

The partnership between Council and the state government means our region has better protection now than it ever had before,” said Mr Dickerson.

The Wellington Groundwater Pipeline Project will involve the installation of a 5.5km pipe that

will connect a new production bore at Lay Street and Bicentennial Park to the Wellington Water Treatment Plant on the Falls Road.

The pipeline will travel down Lay Street, Nicholii Street, Herbert Street, Montefiores Street, crossing underneath the Mitchell Highway, and then proceed down Macquarie Street, continuing through farm land before being tunnelled under the Macquarie River to arrive at the water treatment plant.

Dubbo journo lands hole in one with new book

By BROOKE JACOBSON FORMER Dubbo journalist Tony Webeck has added another credit to his already impressive career, publishing a book about a subject close to his heart – golf.

Tony has written Aussies at The Open: Australia’s tales and triumphs from 150 years of The Open Championship, alongside his friend and work colleague Steve Keipert.

Now living on the Gold Coast with wife Donna and their two children, Tony started his journalism career in Dubbo in 1997, after a meeting with local newspaper editor, Richard Lawson.

“Richard asked me who I supported in the footy, I said ‘Souths’ and he said, ‘great, you’ve got a job’,” Tony said laughing.

“I was there until August 2000, before I went and lived in the UK for a while, and I then came back to Dubbo again in January 2002 for about a year.”

Tony, who has worked at Australian Golf Digest, and Big League Magazine, among other publications, said he loved his time in Dubbo.

“I played rugby for the Dubbo Rhinos for a while, and I did a season of cricket with Souths,” he said.

“I loved being part of the community, and sport was a way of getting to know Dubbo.

“It was the greatest gift for me and being able to represent the paper as well. We all know a newspaper is such an important part of a community.

“I realised fairly early on that if I wasn’t going to be out on the field playing sport professionally, I may as well write about it.

“You get the best seats, you get to talk to the best players, and

they pay you to do it! I’ve been very fortunate.”

It seems Tony was always destined to be a sports writer.

“My Year 5 teacher, Mr Donaldson, said in my report ‘Anthony is an excellent writer, but I wish he would write about something other than sport’,” he said.

Tony said the inspiration for the book struck about two years ago.

“The British Open was cancelled in 2020, like everything else, and they announced then that the 150th Open would be held at St Andrews in 2022,” he said.

“And I thought, that’s a good timeline to get a book done.

“Everyone I’ve ever interviewed who has played the Open has a

story. And it might be about who they met, or where they stayed, or how they qualified.

“Initially I planned to speak to every living Australian who has played the Open, and I didn’t realise at the time quite how many people that would be!

“So, then I realised it was more a than a one-man job, and I asked my friend Steve Keipert to write it with me.

“Steve and I had been through (news-writing) training together years ago and spent more than 10 years working together at Golf Digest.”

Tony and Steve spoke with 102 Australians who had played the Open.

“I think that I had always wanted to write a book, and this seemed like an area rich in material,” Tony said.

“Steve and I had a lot of contacts in golf, and I hope we’ve done a good job and it’s going to be an entertaining read.

“There are stories there that are funny and outlandish and haven’t been told before.

“Also, we hope the book will be a bit of a historical document – Australian golf doesn’t have a great tradition of recording our champions, so we hope to remedy that.”

The son of the late great Australian golfer, Peter Thompson, wrote the forward for the book.

Tony added his love for the game of golf – despite its frustrations – had never wavered.

“I love golf because, it’s easy to play – it’s a ball and a stick,” he said.

“But at the same time, it’s a game you can never master. Anyone can play it, any age – you can start with mini golf, or the driving range, and once you get that little hint of something good, that little addiction, you’ll always love it.”  Aussies at The Open: Australia’s tales and triumphs from 150 years of The Open Championship By Tony Webeck and Steve Keipert will be available from the Australian Golf Digest website later this year.

LOCAL LITERATURE

Another banger for Nicole Alexander

By TIJANA BIRDJAN SET in the dying days of the riverboat trade encompassing the moments before the turn of the century, The Last Station encapsulates heartbreak, heritage and hope.

Author, Nicole Alexander celebrated the release of her bestselling book by touring the Western plains and providing an insight of her storytelling and journey of writing.

Having an abundance of experience in short form writing from her early 20s and completing her master’s degree in creative writing, Ms Alexander began writing her first novel, The Bark Cutters, when she returned to her family’s farm near Moree.

Working in marketing in Singapore, Ms Alexander returned to her family’s property believing she would only stay a year, but the longer she stayed, the more she enjoyed the family business.

Her great-grandfather claimed the family property in 1893 – making her a fourth generation farmer and grazier. The property was sold in 2020 due to her father’s illness.

Now residing in Moree, Ms Alexander shares that setting is a vital element to her storytelling.

The story is set in the 19th century during the turn of the cen-

tury to express the hardships of family power wealth diminishing into poverty.

Acknowledgement of the past is vital to writing a contemporary story, says Ms Alexander, who goes through her family's archives for primary research before committing to a story.

“Using primary sources makes the work more authentic,” she shared, adding that she tries to look for a specific time in Australian history where there is a lot of complexity.

She explains an anecdote shared by her great grandmother of holidaying in the Blue Mountains and meeting a young man, whom she brought to the family station to work for the family.

“At this point my great grandmother was a widow and quietly spoken – she brought a man to the farm without consulting anyone."

Ms Alexander mentioned that she changed this storyline in the novel as she wanted a more fractured character who was not welcomed, saying that according to in family legend he was a good person who was “fantastic at everything and kept the property going in my grandfather’s absence”.

“I decided on (setting the story on) the Darling River during that period as I really wanted to shine a spotlight in Australian history

where the vagaries of mother nature and the wheels of progress conspiring to ruin people’s lives and livelihoods,” she explains.

Known as the last Australian era of innocence before the first World War, the Dalhunty Station was home to more than 80 people with their premium wool to be sold in South Australia.

Mrs Alexander has included a love interest and light humour in the novel by adding quirky traits to her characters.

“Humour really adds more dimension and dramatic tension into a book and can make a storyline keep going,” she continues, saying especially after Covid she wanted to include a sense of humour.

Ms Alexander tells Dubbo Photo News she does not base any of her characters on real people, instead “letting them roam free” when writing the story.

By visiting places she intends to mention in a book, she gets a “well rounded picture of what the book will entail before I start writing”.

She laughs saying she only uses ten per cent of her sources, however, through exploration, she can shine a light on selected regions.

Ms Alexander’s book, The Last Station is currently ranked second on the Australian bestseller list.

The Midas touch: How a snap decision gave James a future HE came here from remote Western Australia for two weeks on whim to help a mate set up the Tomingley Gold Operations’ (TGO) laboratory. Fast forward eight years, and TGO Processing Manager James Didovich has not only helped build a gold mine, but a career, a family and a future. You could say he has the Midas touch.

James spoke with Dubbo Photo News about Alkane, gold and the best decision of his life so far.

gold bars.

That must be pretty satisfying.

Do you get to hold that gold bar in your hand and think, “I helped make that”?

It is. That part at the end is something not a lot of people get to see. The gold bars are the glamorous part of the process and it is very satisfying to see the end product that comes from the combined efforts over a long period of the Alkane and Tomingley teams.

A lot of work has gone into producing each bar that you can then hold in your hand.

What’s your background in the What’s your job with TGO and industry? what does it involve?

I’m the Processing Manager in I studied minerals engineering at the West Australian charge of the team that takes ore produced by the mine and School of Mines in Kalgoorlie, then through a series of steps so metallurgy is my background. I was employed by to crush, grind, dissolve, and Alkane at TGO initially as a recover the gold we use to casual on a two-week conthen produce the gold bars. tract – eight years later, I’m We are chasing a very small amount of gold in the ore; for still here! every tonne of ore there is You can interpret that two only about 2 grams of Gold; ways, I guess: either I did an so the process needs to run outstanding job and they kept very efficiently and we prome on, or I haven’t finished cess 1 million tonnes of ore what I was supposed to do in per year. two weeks, it’s taken me eight years!

So you could say you have the Midas touch?

I’d confidently say it’s Option A. Something like that! We’re the Where were you working before TGO? “black box” where the magic happens. We produce someI’d been working in Western thing that everyone gets pret- Australia and overseas previty excited about – nice shiny ously, and then spent a couple

of years teaching at the WA School of Mines in Kalgoorlie whilst pursuing post-graduate study. I came over to Tomingley on a short two-week contract to help out a friend who was working here. Then that two weeks turned into ten months and I had come to realise I was more interested in working in industry than research. When my friend resigned, I put my hand up for his job and was lucky enough to be offered the role.

And then you married a local girl, so you struck gold there too?

Did I ever! After moving here for the permanent role in late 2014 I was on my lonesome for a while until 2016 when I met the girl who would become my wife in 2018. We had our first child in February 2020, and we are very excited that we are now expecting twins later this year.

What are some of the things you enjoy about your job in general and about TGO in particular?

I enjoy the good mix of routine and excitement – being a production facility that runs 24/7 there is a lot of ongoing work that happens to consistently produce those gold bars, but we are always looking to improve, and with the expansion plans for TGO there is a

lot to be excited about.

For me, Alkane has been a great fit. From where I started with them eight years ago – a bit lost and wondering what the future held for me, to where I am now – Alkane gave me that opportunity. I made my way up from where I started in a Metallurgist role to now being Processing Manager, I met my wife, started a family – so it’s been massive change for me.

And with where Alkane is going now, and with the opportunities they’ve provided me, we see us staying here for the next ten years – we have our home here, we have our extended family as neighbours over the back fence – so we’re not planning to go anywhere, we’re in it for the long haul.

TGO has given you not only your working life, but your family life and future as well.

Absolutely! I didn’t think too much about that decision to come over here from Kalgoorlie for two weeks. I just thought, “Oh, I’ll come and give a mate a hand.” Fast forward eight years... wow, what a difference.

It’s really good to look back and realise how pivotal a decision it was all those years ago – a “sliding doors” moment that I will forever be grateful for.

“I didn’t think too much about that decision to come over here from Kalgoorlie for two weeks. Fast forward eight years... wow, what a difference.”

LOCAL news publishers are welcoming the recommendations from the federal government’s inquiry into regional newspapers as a ‘significant breakthrough’ with potential to underpin the industry’s longevity.

The report from the Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts released their findings on Friday, March 25, providing a dozen recommendations for consideration.

Andrew Manuel, president of Country Press Australia, which represents more than 180 independent regionally-based news publishers, is now calling for bi-partisan support to make the proposed measures a reality.

“This has been an important and productive inquiry, and the findings can make a real difference to help sustain independent regional news services into the future – if implemented,” Mr Manuel said.

The recommendations made by the committee include ensuring 20 per cent of government print advertising is placed in regional newspapers, a measure that the committee expects will be cost neutral.

“Regional newspapers are the perfect medium for reaching many regional Australians with important government messages, so it’s a wise and welcome recommendation to ensure more government advertising is placed with our local independent publications,” Mr Manuel said.

He said that he expected broad political support for the recommendations due to the wide and diverse range of voices that were heard by the Inquiry.

“There were clear and consistent themes presented to the Inquiry and at the very top of that list is how important having a local independent news service is to regional communities,” he said.

Chair of the committee responsible for the inquiry, Dr Anne Webster MP, said, “Regional newspapers in Australia represent a large and diverse industry, which has experienced significant challenges over the past decade. With the transition to digital news and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, assessing the health of our regional newspapers is more important than ever before.”

The committee recommended a multi-pronged approach to support the long-term viability of the sector, particularly for small and independent newspapers based in regional and remote Australian communities.

They also recommended that the government considers the viability of a tax rebate for regional businesses that support their local newspaper through a minimum advertising spend, and for regional newspapers that produce public interest journalism and employ local journalists.

“For people in regional, rural, or remote communities, regional newspapers are the main source of local information. It also plays an important role in maintaining an interconnected community, and a

healthy democracy. A diversity of opinion from all sides of the political spectrum and coverage of local, as well as national issues, is essential to public debate. It is important we ensure the sector remains viable in the long-term,” Dr Webster said.

“Regional newspapers are the perfect medium for reaching many regional Australians with important government messages, so it’s a wise and welcome recommendation to ensure more government advertising is placed with our local independent publications,” Mr Manuel said.

He said that he expected broad political support for the recommendations due to the wide and diverse range of voices that were heard by the Inquiry.

“There were clear and consistent themes presented to the Inquiry and at the very top of that list is how important having a local independent news service is to regional communities,” he said.

Inquiry chair Dr Webster also noted that regional newspapers have been “challenged for more than a decade by loss of revenue, loss of talent and rising costs, that have forced many to permanently close their doors”.

“As newspapers close, readers are pushed towards social media for their news, which increases Australians’ exposure to misinformation and creates a disconnect in communities,” Dr Webster said in the report.

The areas covered by the Gilgandra Newspapers’ titles – Gilgandra Weekly, Nyngan Weekly and the Narromine Star – are fortunately not “news deserts”, frequently referred to in the inquiry describing local government areas without an operating newspaper, with the western region having no less than 11 independent commercial and community newspapers covering the 11 shires.

However, the report’s findings have been well-received by Gilgandra-based president of Country Press NSW Inc, Lucie Peart.

“The recommendations give hope to many of our members who have continued to serve their communities through recent downturns and disasters,” Mrs Peart said.

“While many regional MPs fully recognise and support the value of local newspapers to their communities and do what they can to support us, the outdated legislation and the spending decisions of many government departments has accelerated the decline in newspaper revenue, pushing us closer to the brink.”

Country Press NSW Inc members gathered in Dubbo last week for their 121st annual general meeting and Mrs Peart says that government relationships with regional newspapers is always high on the agenda.

“It was heartening to see this acknowledged in the committee’s report and we sincerely hope that the recommendations are adopted as soon as possible by the Australian government,” she said.

“We also hope that this critical information is taken on board by our NSW government as well.”

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

His opinions lack facts and balance The Editor, It is very appropriate that Greg Smart’s column (Dubbo Photo News, March 31-April 6, “Election 2022 – it matters”) is headed ‘opinion’ because it is definitely not news, is short on facts and reads like an election speech for the Opposition.

The important aspects of his column are the matters on which he has no opinion and they are the ones that really matter.

He has failed to mention that in Australia’s history no government has experienced fire, flood, drought, a mice plague and a pandemic in one term.

And to the Government’s credit we have a functioning economy and a lifestyle which is the envy of most of the world. Admittedly we have a huge debt which would have been even more huge under Labor’s plan to pay all Australians $300 to get the jab.

He also fails to mention that the Socialist Governments in France, Canada, NZ, and the USA have emerged worse off than us, and they only had Covid to deal with.

Further to his comments, the only bias I have witnessed on Q&A is the left-leaning leader allowing left-leaning guests to prattle on while interrupting and challenging right-leaning guests at every half sentence. Then of course we have Virginia Triole who stated that it was her job to criticise the Government. I also have memories of the ABC commentary team at the last election who were so down in the mouth one would have thought their team had just lost the grand final.

I understand that the Coalition has presented a proposal to the Opposition for an Independent Commission against Corruption and they have rejected it out of hand.

Now we have an Opposition proposing the phasing out of mining. This will leave our economy as a basket case and see our standard of living diminished. What does our economy depend on?

Last night the leader of the Opposition set a new benchmark in ‘political mysticism’ by handing down a budget reply which had a lot of nice words but made no mention of money, how much, how it will be distributed, and where it will come from.

The word ‘dollar’ was absent.

On global warming we should all refer to the words of the Chief Scientist who stated that if the whole country closed down tomorrow it would make little or no difference to global warming. Should we go broke while China thrives and expands?

We have kids being taught about the effects of global warming and what we have to do to stop it, but no one is telling them how much CO2 is produced in the manufacture of a battery for an electric car or the thousands of tonnes of solar panels and turbine blades that will go to landfill in the next 20 years.

My opinion is that all things considered, whether you like the personalities or not, the current government has done a pretty good job and a global comparison will bear that out.

Robert McKeowen, Dubbo.

You gotta love the last week of school term Emily Thompson ❚ OPINION THE last week of term is always an absolute disaster, but this year things have been kicked into overdrive. Somehow, we’ve ended up with ANZAC activities, an athletics carnival, cross country, an Easter hat parade, end-of-term award ceremony, final assembly, and an Easter lunch – all over the course of five exhausting days. Thank goodness we said goodbye to Daylight Savings on Sunday, so at least we’re not getting up in darkness at 7am (that is, the middle of the night).

Monday: Today is Miss Seven’s athletics carnival that was rescheduled. I have a work meeting in Bathurst, but I’m confident I can make it back in time to make an appearance. No canteen today, but yesterday I smugly bought bread, yoghurt, and fruit. A little too smugly, I discover, because somehow we’re already out of bananas.

I decide no-one else will have fruit

in the last week and it’s okay. As we head towards the door, Miss Seven announces she needs to wear her house colours. “What house are you in?” I ask, panicked. “I dunno,” replies the child who hasn’t attended a single sporting day in her first two years of school due to COVID. We choose blue and cross our fingers.

Tuesday: I look forward to a quiet day where the only event is Miss Seven’s ANZAC ceremony. It’s held in the local park but, despite being close enough to walk there, I’m busy and don’t go. I’d love to attend all school events, but sometimes work needs to be my priority. Instead, we agree to attend the ANZAC march in town as a family.

I’m even organised enough to pop

dinner in the slow cooker. Unfortunately, I’m not ot organised enough to actually turn rn it on. We eat toast for dinner, which ich is fine for the last week.

Wednesday: Cross country. Miss Seven gets a bit upset about this because she’s not sure she’s a good enough swimmer mer to attend. After a few probing questions, uestions, we explain the difference between cross country and triathlon lon and remind her she’s an amazing ing runner. She has to wear house colours again (it was blue, but I forgot got to wash yesterday, so it’s filthy and of course, e, she only owns one). ne). I hope the amazing teachers snap some photos so o I can see them later, but thatt they’re slightly out of focus so she doesn’t look homeless. She needs to take lunch again, so I pack ck a jam sandwich, a ` yoghurt, a muesli esli bar and a roll up I hope the amazing – then quickly message her teacher teachers snap some asking her nott to call FACS about photos so I can see them the contents off her lunch box box. later, but that they’re Thursday: Today. Easter bonslightly out of focus so she net parade, hot dog lunch, assemdoesn’t look homeless... a bly and awards. But today is also the day of a very strategically

booked car service service. It means hubby is working from home and can happily attend all events. He gets to relish the role of o “involved parent” and I get to enjoy enj a productive child-free day of w work. With today sure to go smoothl smoothly, I assume we can cruise through tomorrow and into the holidays stress-free... st Unfortunately, no. no Miss 13 announces announc that not only is Friday her athleti athletics carnival, but there’s no buses an and she needs to be dropped off and picked up. I demand to see the note no and she produces one from w weeks ago that I apparently signed (without reading) agreeing to b be her personal chauffeur for the th day. She also needs to wear red (her house colour apparently) but bu obviously she owns nothing red.

Hats – or Easter bonnets – off to everyone everyo who made it though.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

By AARON HILL SONIC the Hedgehog 2 is once again directed by Jeff Fowler, and living on Earth for a while, Sonic is still ll a kid who’s protecting the city. With other ther events, Dr. Robotnik returns from the Mushroom Planet with the help of an echidna warrior, Knuckles. Sonic is provided some help with Tails to stop Dr. Robotnik from getting the ultimate power.

I was very excited for this movie, and I stopped using social media to prevent spoilers, and now having seen it, I can finally say this... THIS WAS WAY BETTER THAN THE FIRST MOVIE!! I loved this movie so much, and I’m still reeling it in.

Sonic is the cutest thing in this movie, but he is also

INSANITY STREAK

THE SPATS

one of the best charac acters by a long s shot, along with t two of the new characters, Tails and Knuckles.

T Tails is voiced b Colleen by O O’Shaughnessey, and he was so adorable in this movie, I love that little fox so much, and Knuckles who was voiced by Idris Elba, was so awesome.

Jim Carrey once again delivers as Dr. Robotnik, this time rocking the large moustache and a dripping new suit, and he, like all of the others, is just as fun as the first movie.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this film to everyone who loves Sonic and all other gamers, there are a lot of references in this movie, and I’m giving this one a 10/10 *Aaron Hill is a local Dubbo film-buff.

which is so important to so many locals).

the Zoo Cafe and Bar for the delicious meal, fantastic service, and great setting.

Would recommend the experience.

Thumbs Up to the very friendly and helpful shop assistant at Autograph who worked on Tuesday 29th March. Your caring customer service is often hard to find these days. Thank you.

'

Thumbs Down to the vandals who removed our pot plants with healthy maroon foliage from our front garden.

& Thumbs Up to our state schoolteachers who contin-

ue to front up, day after day, to out of control classes in understaffed schools.

'

Thumbs Down to social media for kids, I’m really concerned as to what will become of our younger generation who can’t ever seem to switch off, yet whose concentration spans and ability for critical thinking are being systematically destroyed.

&

Thumbs Up to Dubbo Photo News for excellent journalism and the highly local coverage reliably networking our regional community. Well done from Orana Physical Culture.

'

Thumbs Down to Coles for having smokes available right at the front of the shop.

While it encourages smoking, it also means that customers patiently waiting in line have to wait longer while rude people desperate for their cigs demand to be served simply because they’ve arrived. The poor staff, understaffed, then have to leave their proper customers to get rid of any of these smokers who choose to be rude – I fully understand it’s not all smokers, but it’s the fault of Coles in this case along with other supermarkets who allow smokers to be queue-jumpers.

&

Thumbs Up to Bruno Efoti and great to meet you at Cars and Coffee. So many people are into cars because it’s important for their mental health and Cars and Coffee is the perfect place to start conversations if you’re doing it tough. (Editor’s note: We couldn’t agree more, which is one of the reasons Dubbo Photo News is always keen to cover this event

&

'

Thumbs Down to Scott Morrison and his government for not only digging us into a $1 trillion black hole, but for splashing cash across the nation like a whiteboard on steroids yet offering nothing in new infrastructure projects for our huge electorate of Parkes. Talk about taking us for granted. Mark Coulton, as our long-serving MP you need to give the PM a serve on our behalf.

Orange’s Andrew Gee stood up for veteran’s cash when he threatened to resign – please take a leaf out of his book.

Demolitions, horsepower and iron at Trangie

By JOHN RYAN PLENTY of Dubboites will be heading out to Trangie this weekend for the district’s massive Truck and Tractor Show.

When the event was run in2019, prior to the Covid pandemic wiping out so much fun in the world, more than 200 vehicles and machines of all sorts showed up on the day.

From all accounts there are plenty of participants and

spectators from as far away as Sydney coming out this way this Saturday, April 9, to watch events including the tractor pull, demolition derby and check out the cars, trucks, tractors, motorbikes and market stalls.

Gates open at 8am at the Trangie Showground, tickets are just $5 per person and camping is available – you can pre-register and buy tickets at: www.123tix.com.au/.../ trangie-truck-and-tractor-show

Thumbs Up to our nurses. I left the profession because it got too political and there were so many chiefs (on giant pay packets) and not nearly enough indians to do the actual hard work.

'

Thumbs Down to the scumbag thieves who stole my son’s Visa Card and racked up over $400 in purchases of alcohol, cigarettes and fast food while he was out working hard to put food on the table for his young family.

'

Thumbs Down to the fact we have so many resources in this world, yet government and corporations are making a misery of the lives of so many people with their greed and incompetence.

&

Thumbs Up to all the people who we see on the pages of Dubbo Photo News every week who are doing such wonderful things for our city on a voluntary basis – this is the real glue that makes communities.

Melanoma Marchers making a mark

By DONNA FALCONER

THE local committee was thrilled at having 126 people register to take part in Dubbo’s Inaugural March for Melanoma on Saturday, March 26, with participants and quite a few four-legged friends enjoying a 4km walk along the Wambuul-Macquarie River foreshore, while they re-

membered loved ones taken too soon, and to show their support for those currently fighting melanoma. The event helped raise awareness of being “sun smart” along with the collection of vital funds to help the Melanoma Institute Australia’s fundraising target of $1 million to support the Personalised Immunotherapy Clinical Trial.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS Japanese encephalitis has been gaining much attention recently so what is it and what can we do to prevent infection?

WHAT IS JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS? Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease that causes an infection of the brain. It is spread by mosquitoes, usually between birds and some mammals, particularly pigs.

When a mosquito bites an infected animal and then bites another animal it can pass on the infection. Humans are not a main target species for the virus, but they can get the disease if they are bitten by an infected mosquito. JE cannot spread from person to person.

Most humans who are bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick, fewer than one per cent of people bitten by an infected mosquito will get symptoms. However, some can get a severe infection and some can die.

ARE THERE ANY KNOWN CASES IN THE CENTRAL WEST? As of 1 April 2022, there have been ten people in NSW found to have JE in the current outbreak, none of these are located within the Central West NSW region. One person in the

Riverina region of NSW has died of the disease and cases have also been detected in Victoria, South Australia and southern Queensland.

WHO IS MOST AT RISK? JE occurs in parts of Asia and the Pacific. For most travellers the risk of infection is very low but may be higher for people staying more than a month in rural areas. JE has been very rare in Australia and the patterns of spread in Australia are still being studied.

At present JE has been identified in commercial piggeries in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. The people who are most at risk are those who work at piggeries that have been infected or live nearby and people doing outdoor activities such as camping and fishing where there are lots of waterways and mosquitoes WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? JE causes an inflammation of the brain and people with a severe infection can develop headache, neck stiffness, confusion, tremors or

seizures. Some people with a severe infection may suffer permanent neurological damage.

WHEN DO SYMPTOMS APPEAR? If symptoms are going to occur, they do so about five to fifteen days after having been bitten by and infected mosquito. Of course, if you are in an area with lots of mosquitos there is no way of knowing which mosquito might be infected.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I START SHOWING SYMPTOMS? If you are unwell and concerned, you should see your doctor or an emergency department.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF? Best protection is avoiding being bitten by mosquitos. The ones that commonly transmit JE are most active at dawn and dusk.

• Cover up and use a repellent that contains DEET. • Sleep in a room that is protected by flyscreens.

• If mosquitoes are in the house use an insecticide spray.

• Eliminate collections of water around the house, mosquitoes need only a very small amount of water to breed.

SHOULD I GET VACCINATED? There is a vaccine against JE that is safe and effective. At present vaccination is only recommended for people at high risk.

w i n o t e Wet a lin Burrendong Classic Fishing Comp at the

this Easter

Local fishing conservation group OzFish Wellington Chapter, is gearing up to host the highhigh ly anticipated Shimano Burrendong Easter Classic, with the competition running from the 15th to the 17th of April.

Th Burrend The Burrendong Classic is held annually and is one of the biggest and best catchand-releaase fishing competitions in the region, w with both adult and junior categories and a $50,000 prize pool up for grabs.

Thiss 3-day event is held in beautiful Lake Burrendong and itt’s for a great cause as all funds raised will go towards fish habitat restoration.

OzFish are callingg on

all recreational fishers to get involved, with over $50,000 worth of prizes to give away, including a boat package as the major prize thanks to Shimano Australia and BCF – Boating, Camping, Fishing.

The Burrendong Classic was first started in 2010 by the Inland Waterways Rejuvenation Association.

After 9 years of running the Classic and building it up to a 3000-person-strong event, the Inland Waterways OzFish Chapter has handed the event coordination to the newly formed OzFish Wellington Chapter to take the reins.

John Ahsee, Secretary of the OzFish Wellington Chapter, is looking forward to taking on the Burrendong Classic after it has been paused recently due to the drought and pandemic.

“The community is working extremely hard to make the Burrendongg Classic the most m profession-

“There has been a lot of negative news of late, so we’re hoping the Classic can be something for the community to look forward to as they’ve waited a while for it to relaunch,” said John.

Crowds Gather Galore for Cars and Coffee

By JOHN RYAN Photos by KEN SMITH HUNDREDS of cars and thousands of car-lovers converged on Victoria Park last Sunday morning for the monthly Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee gathering.

The weather turned it on, the early sunshine mellowed by the breeze created thanks to the trees

and greenery, the perfect setting for the casual yet social event.

Some new cars to the event included an amazing bronze metallic 1968 Dodge Charger from Sydney’s northern beaches – stay tuned to upcoming editions of Dubbo Photo News to learn all about this and other cars singled out for their stories.

This amazing 1968 Dodge Charger, imported from Alabama (USA) years ago, will be featured in an upcoming edition of Dubbo Photo News.

SUDOKU EXTRA

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

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

STRANGE BUT TRUE z Maurice Sendak’s beloved kids’ classic “Where the Wild Things Are” was originally titled “Where the Wild Horses Are”. Why the change in title?

Sendak realised he was unable to draw horses. z Rapper Lil’ Wayne originally went by the moniker “Shrimp Daddy”. z Not ones to marry in haste and repent at leisure, a Paraguayan couple set up housekeeping in 1933.

After 80 years, eight children and 50 grandchildren, the 103-year-old groom finally said a formal “I do” to his 99-year-old bride. z The prize money for winning the Monopoly World Championship is $20,580 – the same amount of money there is in the game’s bank. z Modern students who complain about the amount of homework they’re issued might well wish they’d lived in the late 1800s and

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION early 1900s, when doctors crusaded against it because they believed it was causing children to become wan, weak and nervous. In the US in 1901, California even banned homework for anyone under the age of 15. z Over a 24-year career, Roman charioteer Gaius Appuleius Diocles amassed an astonishing fortune worth 35,863,120 sesterces (an ancient Roman coin), or roughly $15 billion in today’s dollars, making him the highest-paid athlete of all time. z In January 2021, the first commercial 3D-printed house in the US went on sale for $299,000. z The term “rum bubber”, which originated in the 16th century, referred to a thief who specialised in stealing silver tankards from inns and pubs. z An actual “chill pill”, which could even be made at home, was used in the late 1800s to remedy chills associated with a high fever.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z When you make a meringue, be sure to spread it all the way to the crust on all sides. If you do, it will not shrink. z After your dishwasher has run its course, open up the door and let the dishes air dry. On cold days, there’s the added bonus of humidifying the house with the steam that escapes. z Research says that the best time of day to exercise is in the morning, but the truth is that the best time for YOU to exercise is when you will go through with it. So, try out different times of the day, and when you find one that fits, schedule it in your daily planner and block the time out at least three times per week. z Making your own flavoured yogurt is cheap and much bet-

ter for you. You can avoid a lot of added sugar. Start with plain, unflavoured yogurt and add: pureed fruits, toasted oats, honey, vanilla or almond extract, or plumped-up raisins (add enough hot water to cover a tablespoon of raisins and let sit for a minute or two).

Yummy. z “If you stick the end of your celery stalks in a cup of water and rocks (or in some very damp dirt), they will begin to regrow. This is a great way to have a never-ending supply of celery. You also can regrow scallions (spring onions) from the root end.” – Y.L.J. z Metal shower hooks can be used in the sewing basket to hold safety pins.

Gold, Silver and Bronze for Dubbo club

By GEOFF MANN ATHLETICS has a long and proud history in Dubbo where the local club has spawned Olympians Katrina Gibbs and Melinda Gainsford.

The next group of fleet-footed and strongarmed are now setting themselves to follow in those famous spikes after an incredible week at the Australian Track & Field Championships.

In an era when female athletes like Ash Barty, Alyssa Healy and Elyse Perry along with the entire Australian Women’s Cricket team are grabbing headlines, is it any wonder it was the Dubbo (and Mudgee) girls who took centre stage.  Grace Peters threw a personal best to win silver medal in the U15s Discus. She came 7th in Shot;  Ella Penman picked up gold as part of the NSW U/17W 4 x 100m relay, silver in the 800m and bronze in the 400m;  Elisha Bennetts from Mudgee who has spent a lot of hours training at Barden Park under Mark Penman took the 400m plus.

“This was by far the most successful national meet for our club,” was the excited response from club spokesperson Sarah Ryan.

In other results:  Max McAneney, 12th U/16M 400m  Lockie Townsend, 15th U/20M 15th 5000m; 21st in 3000m  Ben Batten, 9th U/18M Shot Put  Jack Cosier, 4th U/20M Para Shot Put & 4th in Discus.

Parents and coaches are to be congratulated for supporting their young athletes during a very difficult few years. Dubbo is proud of your efforts.

Dees’ first hit out shows promise for 2022 season

By TAHLIA SINCLAIR THE weather left much to be desired, but community spirit was thriving as the Dubbo Demons faced the Tumbarumba Roos last weekend to commemorate the late Izac Cornell.

The women kicked off the day in wet and windy conditions, with the local Roos getting the edge over our outnumbered Dees outfit. Dubbo travelled with just nine players, relying on Tumbarumba to boost numbers, and still playing one down the entire game.

Despite the disappointing result, coach Peter Martinoli said what he saw was promising as the team prepares for the season to kick off in April.

“Obviously rain affected us, but the skills were still high and ball movement was good even with a player missing. We probably died a bit in the last five minutes but generally still kept going. It's hard to get match fitness without playing a match and that showed, but fitness to move off the ball was still there, and everyone was willing to get to that next contest,” he said.

mons, and Martinoli said they slotted in well.

“They’ve obviously been doing the hard work at training and that paid off apart from a couple of skill errors. There’s room for improvement but it looked like they'd been

there for years.

As well as assessing fitness and skills levels, coach Martinoli said there was more to the weekend than just a game.

“We went south to celebrate a life! We never know what [Tum-

barumba] are going to come out with but it’s always a fantastic day.”

Tumbarumba coach Glenn Lavis said it was a great result for his team of mismatched players.

“We asked who wants to play and then the girls came and asked me to coach them and teach them some skills. It’s just fun all around, not too serious, but good for the Dubbo girls to get a bit of a practice match in too,” said Lavis.

Returning player Kristen Coady took out best on field for the Demons. After only starting Aussie Rules last year, Kristen has become a key player for the team playing across both the midfield and backline.

Tumbarumba’s Ally Grant took out best on field for the home team.

The weather didn’t get any better for the men’s game later that afternoon. Constant rain made for a slippery ball and the men also struggled to get full numbers for the six-hour road trip. The Dees will still have two grades in the men's comp and numbers are expected to increase now the cricket season has finished.

Despite a hard effort from the men their defeat was inevitable

however there was at least one clear positive for the Demons – Joseph Hedger was named man of the match.

Tumbarumba captain, Hunter Clayton congratulated him on a fantastic game.

“I was at the contest with Joe, I blinked and he’s down the other end of the field! I feel like he's a real heart and soul player for your club, and played a cracking game today.”

Tumbarumba’s Josh Molkentin thanked Dubbo for making the trip down for the weekend which ended with a cross-club get together after the short presentation.

“We really love you coming up here and really appreciate you for helping to chuck this on each year.

It's really important that we keep this alive, and we really want to make it something very special and build on our friendships.”

The clubs have been running the memorial match weekend for 12 years to remember the life and impact of clubman Izac Cornell.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions Izac’s family were unable to attend the games.

The Demons travel to Bathurst on Saturday for the 2022 season launch round robin.

Dubbo wheels its way to cycling nirvana

By MATT GILBERT AND GEOFF MANN FORMER Dubbo Cycle Club President Matt Gilbert and Geoff Mann take an in-depth look at the current champions and some more incredible performances.

It’s been a busy but immensely productive time for local cyclists in recent weeks as our female and male riders have clipped their cleats into the pedals for ultimate rewards.

State Track Titles for U15 U17, U19, Elite and Masters have been held over the last two weeks as well as the Australian Championships in U15, U19 and Elite. In addition, the Oceania Titles for U19 and Elite riders were contested, starting on Saturday and running until the end of this week.

On top of this domestic activity, Haylee Fuller is racing in Belgium with a professional women’s team in cycling’s heartland.

Hard work creates exceptional athletes and brings rewards.

NSW State Track Titles at Dunc Gray Velodrome 25th 27th February  Dylan Eather Gold in Time Trial; Bronze in the Scratch Race; bronze in the 1km TT  Kurt Eather three Gold – Pointscore, Scratch Race and Omnium; Silver in the Pursuit; Bronze in the Time Trial. He also powered from the scratch mark to win the Sydney Cup on Wheels, the most sought after Wheelrace in NSW;  Tyler Puzicha – three Gold in JW19 Time Trial, Sprint and Keirin; Gold in the Oceania Time Trial.  Ben Anderson took Gold in the Keirin & Time Trial with Silver medals in the 1km Time Trial and Pursuit with two Bronze in the Scratch Race and Pointscore.

Others who performed well: Isabelle Russell Under 17 Women and Emily Hines, Under 15 Women. While only fractionally outside the medal positions all weekend in numerous events, both had long race schedules mixing with the best in the state and chalking up valuable racing on the boards.

Erica Lunney had a blitz on the boards with Gold medals in the Scratch Race, Time Trial & Pointscore and Silver in the Sprint. Not bad for an athlete returning to racing after 20 years.

Erica prepared well and did the club and her cycling-loving family very proud.

Heather Makeham took a medal of each colour – Gold in Pursuit; Silver in the Scratch Race and a Bronze in the Time Trial. Heath-

er has never missed a chance to improve and has risen to the occasion.

Greame Peadon joined the team after receiving some encouragement and won a Silver in the pursuit & Bronze in the Scratch Race and Time Trial events. Graeme is very glad he travelled and now has added more medals to an already packed Peadon’ pool room.

Emily Williams took the trifecta with three gold – Scratch Race as well as both Elite and Masters Pursuits. She has not missed a training session and is in top form building on a very successful road season.

Emily, Heather and Erica joined forces in the Team Sprint to take another Gold for the Dubbo Green Machine – the G Force!

Darrell Wheeler again proved age is just a number winning all five of his events in the Golden division. The ‘old man’ showed his impeccable preparation left nothing in doubt and he now casts his eyes on more National titles.

The Dubbo Green Machine has amassed an astounding 22 Gold, five Silver and eight Bronze medals at State Level already this year.

National Titles, Brisbane 24-30 March “The Youngster”, Emily Hines

claimed a very well earned sixth in the U15 Scratch Race in the midst of some furious racing. She also competed well in the Pointscore Pursuit, Sprint, Keirin & Time Trial, thoroughly enjoying her experience and getting very close to the podium. Em has come home with a fist full of top-ten finishes.

Isabelle Russell took a magnificent Gold in the Teams Pursuit and pulled on her first green and gold jersey. This brought great joy to club mates. She added a Bronze in the Madison capping off a very successful time at the Nationals.

Danny Barber had a very tough time with the big hitters who are or were previous world champions but managed Silver in the Team Sprint. In the Keirin he was nipping at the wheels of the riders who are set to represent Australia at upcoming Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

On the other side of the planet, Haylee Fuller is gaining first-hand experience in the tough European professional circuit. Hayls is keeping a blog going from her base in Belgium. It makes interesting reading on the Dubbo City Toyota website. We get an inside look at her adventures in the Women’s World Professional Circuit with the IBCT Team.

Ben and Tyler

Haylee finished just two minutes behind the current world road champion, Elisa Balsamo at the Dwars door Vlaanderen which is part of the spring race classics.

Non-stop climbs, crashes and not to mention the cold is providing invaluable experience for our strong young champion.

Haylee is in the thick of it with the best in the world in a country whose national sport is cycling. She is “getting on with her apprenticeship”.

Oceania Titles 2nd-5th of April At the Oceania Titles in Brisbane’s Anna Mears Velodrome shortly after the Australian titles’ medals are only part of the story. The collision of Australia and New Zealand had revealed explosive news about the preparation of an upcoming international competition.

Tyler Puzhicha’s Silver in the Sprint saw her a whisker from being an Oceania Champion. The magnificent race was a good old fashioned sprinting clash with her rival from the TrackNats, Stevenson from QLD. Kurt and Dylan Eather came up against a ferocious New Zealand team set a target to win as many of the endurance events for the Elite division as possible and to inform

other teams members about their goal!

The racing was relentless with speeds at 55km/hr mark repeated race after race. Kurt finished with the front-runners but Dylan found the pace a bit too draining. That is to be expected as he is quite a few years their junior, but has time on his side.

Danny Barber took a fantastic run at the best in the world – Matt Glaetzer, Matthew Richardson & John Trovis in the run up the Keirin but as the newcomer and many years their Junior, he lacks a bit of top end speed that only time and precise training will bring.

Danny is a bit short on raw horsepower against rivals who resemble powerlifters. Despite this, the trajectory for him is far above what is expected at this point and many great things are anticipated for the cyclist commentators have tagged “The Boy From Dubbo”.

The interest Danny has commanded is reminiscent of the great Bob Spears who was the original “Boy from Dubbo”. Could this be a window into what is ahead for the hugely talented Barber? Watch this space.

Ducks send Garry off to the ‘B’ House

Dubbo City Bowling Club roundup MERRILL O’Sullivan, Annette McMillan, Beryl Hobson and Judy O’Connor are playing in the Ladies’ State Playoffs this week in Tamworth.

Merrill has already had a podium finish, stepping up for third in the Singles.

Merrill and Annette played in the Senior Pairs on Tuesday while Merrill, Beryl, Judy and Annette played in the Senior Fours on Thursday. We will bring you these results in next week’s Dubbo Photo News.

Our ladies have already made our Club proud in reaching the playoffs during these trying times.

Go City!

Championships:  Club Triples Final – to be played on a date to be fixed due to State Events.  Club Major Singles – Matt Goodwin v Col Cottee; Alan Tighe v Ben Townsend; Bruce Livingston v John Cole; Steve Parish v Tod O’Dea; Ben Sutton v Derek Gibbs;  Byes – Richard Clarke, David Collins, Robbie Cook, Kerry Vincent, Mike Twohill, Ian Hobson, John Hayden, Neil Hayburn, James Forrest, Adam Fardell and David Davis -V- Bye.

By GEOFF MANN THIRTY years of swimming with the Ducks came to an end on Sunday when Garry Giddings and wife Joy dived in for the last time.

In typical Ducks fashion, the champion sportsman was ribbed about going east to the ‘Bathurst’ House! Teammates said they would quack on their way through – as long as he has some coldies ready!

In the pool, Nicole Johnstone claimed the Blues Meats Trophy Race, just.11 outside her time.

Judy Walsh made it two for the Duckettes taking the 25m backstroke ahead of Mark Scullard, Jack Allen, Billy Greenwood and Rob Dickerson.

The Ducks took 25m freestyle – Greg Salmon smelling something fishy when Glenn Smith touched first – and was deemed to have broken – and held off Judy Walsh, Josh Bird and Jacob Pearce.

Peter Allen, who still calls Australia – or more correctly, Orange – home, beat Rob Dickerson, son Jack, Mark Scullard and Jacon Pearce in the 50 free while Jake and Judy won the 2x25m Breastroke Relay when the Norm Bahr/Tom Gray and Bob Rich/Glenn Smith combos tanked!

Bad luck Normie, one win for a Manly Sea Eagle over the weekend was enough!

March Pointscore – Ned Sparkles 60, Mark ‘The Ap” Prentice/Peter Allen 56, Mia Uebergang 51.

Sundy morning bowls – it’s all in the numbers!

Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’ BOWLS is a game where numbers are kept to determine a winner. They also have other hidden meanings! They reveal many aspects of the game.

Teams for social bowls are randomly selected using the ‘paddle-pop’ stick method and so far, over 11 weeks of Combo no three bowlers have been teamed together more than once.

On Rink 1, Greg Brown, Frank Armstrong and John Kennedy played John Cole, Pete Ruzans and Ron Morrison.

John Coles’ side opened the scoring but Brownies dominated with nine shots, to lead by seven after end 5. Coley rallied his part-

ners and scooped up 11 and led by four. Then the momentum swung and Brownies boys added seven and won 18-15.

Jack Larkins provided us with something to behold when he accepted the role of ‘Swinger’. Bowling for both teams, consistency was the key for Jack. Dave Davis and Debbie Hayden were in one team; Mel Giddings and Tod O’Dea the other. They had some difficulty with the pressure applied by Deb and her cohorts. Jack, David and Deb won the one-sided game 26 shots to 7.

In contrast, Beryl Scott, Ruby Stockings and Pete Sinclair enjoyed playing Leo Balstrad, Karen Greenhalge and John Hayden.

ends for John’s mob saw them hold a five-shot advantage going onto the last. When the chasers could only muster four, Leo, Karen and John were relieved, winning 15 to 14.

Gaye Cottee, the ‘go-girl’ partnered Ian Hobson; Ross Pharo with Eric Satchell.

Ian and Gaye opened the scoring but their opponents closed it off sealing a win by 24 shots to 7.

Bryan O’Sullivan has determination and loves to win games but he is also kind and generous – so long as he wins! He teamed with Pete Bennison and Shirley Marchant. Against Helene Emblem, Paul Goodstat and Gordon Scott. After seven ends it was all “eeks”

but Sully’s mob adopted an ‘if you want us to keep the mat – we will’ attitude to clinch the game 18-12.

Who finished up the happier – Roger Sherwin, Allan Stratford and Col Cottee or Cheryl Storch, Julie Brown and Col Dover?

In a see-sawing contest early Cheryl and her partners led by one after seven ends. To-and-fro they went in almost perfect conditions but after scoring a 3, a 5 and a super six on 14, Roger’s boys earned bragging rights. “We all enjoyed the game, but they did a little more than us” Cheryl was heard to quip! 25-18 the final score.

Bragging rights to Roger, to Allan and to Col Cottee, 25 to 18 the final score, although it was 8 ends each.

Chris, Doc and Kevin gave it a shot or 8 but could not stop Sue, Gary and Phil chalking up the numbers to record a strong 17 to 8 win, 10 ends to 6.  Winners – Jack Larkin, David Davis and Deb Hayden (31 points)  Runners up – Ross Pharo and Eric Satchell (28 points)  Resters – Ruby Stockings and Bryan O’Sullivan.  Door prizes – John Kennedy, Kevin Scott and Tod O’Dea.

“LEGEND” Bob Weir 1936-2022 Narromine Jets’ rugby league ace

By GEOFF MANN TWENTY years playing, NSW and Country jerseys, international clashes, three premierships as coach of Narromine, a lifetime mentoring juniors and a reputation as a man who asked no favours, begged no pardons.

Bob Weir is in every sense a legend.

Husband to Judy, father to Robert, Heather, Wendy and Alison, father inlaw, grandfather, great-grandfather.

Few men have earned their legacy in rugby league as Bobby Weir.

He played first grade as a 16-year-old under the great Leo Nosworthy, took Narromine to their first premiership in 12 years when he led the club to victory over Ken McMullen’s Dubbo CYMS in 1968. He had one season away in 1970 but returned to lead the team in 1974.

Despite the fact that Bob missed the grand final after breaking a leg in the last round, his great friend Murray Bouchier led the team to a famous win against hot favourites CYMS. Bob was carried around the field in plaster as old playing mates and young Jets rose above the Fishies.

“Toughest man I ever played against; hardest tackler; fiercest competitor; shouldda played for Australia” are oftheard phrases when the great man’s name was raised.

As a coach he oversighted the development of future Kangaroo David Gillespie and State players John Coveney, Country captains Phil Phillips and Pat Smith and local champions like Pat and Mark Smith, Norm Newman, Tom Powell, Kimball Riley, Peter Walls and the Clarke boys. His great partner on and off the field was Arnold “Pud” Gillespie who played along-

side the young Weir in Nosworthy’s great teams of the 1950s.

Bob scored a try in NSW’s 16-6 win against Qld at the SCG in 1966. Outside him were flyers Ken Irvine and Gilgandra’s Johnny King while Johnny Raper was lock, Arthur Beetson and Dick Thornett were in the second row and Kevin Ryan, Ron Crowe and Ian Walsh made up an all-international pack.

In the second match of the series Bob was partnered by Johnny Greaves with Mike Cleary replacing Irvine on the wing, Billy Smith at half and Noel Kelly leading from up front. Bob was injured in that match and his chance to play against the English popped out with his shoulder.

Bob served on Group XI and Western Division committees, he was a keen judge of players and selected rep teams for Group, Division, Country and NSW.

Bob’s name is synonymous with toughness, fairness and respect.

“A real gentleman until he crossed the white line,” NSW Committee man and former Narromine official Bob Walsh quipped with a wry smile.

“You could hear the sound of body contact and the thump as opposition players hit the turf on Cale Oval,” he added.

Since 2003 the Player of the Match in the Grand Final has been selected by the legend himself. Local stars like Luke Jenkins, Mick Ryan (Narromine), Peter Ford (Cobar), Ash Conn, Epa Navale, Benji John (Parkes) Chad Porter (Parkes), Ben Maguire and Jake Grace and Wellington’s Travis Waddell are proud to have received their cherished medal on grand final day.

The Bob Weir Medal tradition will continue; the legend of Narromine’s favourite rugby league son will never die.
