On the buses: Return of the route DUBBO travellers will be happy to hear Sid Fogg Coaches has resumed travels, returning to the Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule that was in place before the pandemic. After a two-year hiatus and temporarily only running one day a week, the bus service will return to their previous operation schedule. A total of 15 passengers used the service only on Fridays, having to commit to staying away for a week or another mode of transport for their return. Travellers often avoided the journey as there were many cancelations and uncertainty about whether the coach would commence travels. For many seniors with family and friends unable to drive themselves, the pause in scheduled runs from Dubbo to Newcastle has been stressful during covid, preventing people from travelling to regional towns.

Kombis are the new Kool By JOHN RYAN EVERY time I think of the Kombis I pretty much gave away I want to cry and it’s not just because these iconic vans are suddenly worth squillions, it’s because they represent a way of life that money simply can’t buy. Kash Kannot buy Kool. But at least I’ll get the chance to get up close and personal to plenty of VW microbuses when the Kombi Club of Australia stages its annual Bus Stop social gathering in Dubbo over the Easter weekend. Local Kombi fan Erica Baigent has been coordinating things from the Dubbo end and has designed a map to show locals where they can see more than 50 Kombis cruise local streets from about 9am on the morning of Easter Saturday. “Bus Stop” organiser Deb Tate says the group has been itching for the Dubbo trip after a Covid-induced postponement which robbed them of a night at the recently closed drive-in. “We are so excited that our

event Bus Stop Dubbo is going ahead this year,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “We will be driving down Macquarie St at approximately 9am on Easter Saturday morning, around the block into Brisbane St, and parking up for our group photo at Victoria Park. “A big shout out to Shane from Central West Limousines for hosting us at Victoria Park.” Folks are welcome to come and check out the Kombi’s and have a chat to the owners – the microbuses will be at Vic park until noon.

Local Kombi owner Erica baigent made up this clever map so locals can find the best vantage point to watch the dak-daks drive past in convoy. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

NO HI-TECH HOVER HERE Amazon, Google and all the other huge tech companies may be ﬁghting for a slice of the soon-to-explode homedelivery-by-drone market but it seems an enterprising Dubbo bird whisperer may have gotten the jump on that high-powered competition in western NSW. This mesmerising photo of a Nankeen Kestrel, taken by Ken Smith while it was hovering above the Wambuul Macquarie River, was crying out for just a tiny additional touch. (Yes, we have to confess this image has been digitally retouched by one of our design gurus, with the hope of putting smiles on the faces of our many readers at this special time of year.) Happy Easter everyone!

BLOODY WEEKEND By JOHN RYAN SOME blood banks will open on Good Friday as the nation hurtles towards an Easter weekend, after revelations the state’s blood supplies are critically low. While the Dubbo blood bank won’t be open tomorrow (Good Friday), the local service still needs new donors to step up, with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood estimating one in every two donors

Blood ﬂow critically slow - stocks low are unable to make their donation due to isolating or feeling unwell – now they want YOU to take those places. At the top of the priority list, the service urgently needs people with O-negative blood to donate over the next fortnight as consecutive

long weekends threaten supplies with Lifeblood’s own reserves of the emergency blood type – needed by accident and trauma patients – dropping to their lowest point in 12 months. Lifeblood’s Executive Director of Donor Services Cath Stone said

nearly 40 donor centres will open across Australia on Good Friday to give all blood types a much-needed boost. “The need for blood is often unplanned and urgent,” she said. “This time of year is when many of our donors take a well-deserved

break, but the next two weeks are shaping up to be particularly difficult with back-to-back long weekends for Easter and Anzac Day. “We urgently need 4500 people of all blood types to book a donation before Easter Monday, and a further 7500 through to ANZAC Day, and we need them to come back for a second donation when they are next eligible, to ensure we can keep hospital fridges well stocked.”

Labor’s Murray-Darling plan would see water buybacks return, Coulton says By STEPH ALLEN A FIVE-POINT plan by the Labor party to revive the Murray-Darling Basin Plan has been critiqued by Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton who believes the plan all but confirms the return of water buybacks. “Labor’s plan to re-establish a Water Commission and conduct another study will not produce one single extra drop for South Australia. Where is the water coming from in this plan?” Mr Coulton said. “This plan all but confirms that Labor will re-introduce water buybacks that have been so damaging to Murray-Darling Basin communities in the Parkes electorate.” Mr Coulton said the Labor and Greens parties’ water buybacks had previously hurt the region’s Basin communities, and that his party, The Nationals, had delivered on the Basin Plan and key water policy reform. “Our record speaks for itself... (including) delivering nearly 98 per cent (2,029GL) of our 2024 Murray-Darling Basin water recovery target, and committing to no more buybacks as part of our commitment to putting Basin communities and jobs back at the

heart of the plan, establishing the Inspector-General of Water Compliance in 2021,” he said. “Basin communities across the Parkes are benefitting from these measures, and I would hate to see all this good work undone. “The Liberals and Nationals’

commitment to the 2.6 million Australians who call the Basin home is clear – no buybacks, regional strength, and keeping communities at the heart of the Basin Plan.” However, Nature Conservation Council Chief Executive Chris

Gambian said the five-point plan was an important step towards putting the Murray-Darling Basin Plan back on track and “restoring integrity to water management”. “It’s so refreshing to see steps towards reviving our rivers after years of the Coalition undermining and destroying the Murray-Darling Basin Plan for the benefit of a handful of big irrigation concerns,” Mr Gambian said. “The commitment to deliver 450 gigalitres of water is vital if we are to meet the targets of the plan – which, according to the science, is a bare minimum needed to save rivers, wetlands and sustain river communities. “Re-establishing the National Water Commission, publishing data and modelling, investing in science, and increasing compliance funding are all vital to restoring public confidence in water management after years of scandal and secrecy. “The commitment to increase First Nations water ownership is long overdue and would rectify a broken promise made by the current government and deliver some justice for historical wrongs.” The review of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan will occur over the next term of federal government.

Lights, camera, action: school holiday video workshops By BROOKE JACOBSON DUBBO Filmmakers Inc are looking for the next Steven Spielberg with their school holiday program. The four-day workshops, titled “mobile video creation for youth” will finish with a free barbecue and screening night for family and friends. Participants will learn about generating ideas, storytelling techniques and how to produce and edit a film. In other exciting movie news, two of Australia’s most experienced TV and film production attraction professionals will be in Dubbo to show property owners, council members and filmmakers how to attract film and television production to the region. Screen NSW’s senior manager production attraction, Matt Car-

roll, and location manager Lisa Scope, will spend two days in the city teaching attendees about the role of the location manager, how productions source and secure regional filming locations in NSW, the aesthetic and logistical requirements of filming locations, and also how to publicise your property or land to the screen industry. The second day of the seminar is a full day practical location scouting workshop, aimed at local filmmakers, photographers, and anyone with an interest in pursuing a career as a location scout. Mr Carroll has worked on major productions including Furiosa, Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, 3000 Thousand Years of Longing, Thor: Love and Thunder, Alien: Covenant, Wolf Like Me, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Invisible Man.

Ms Scope has more than 25 years' experience in the industry, and has worked on both local and international award winning television programs. Her services as location manager have resulted in her work on some of Australia’s most loved dramas including Packed to the Rafters, Love My Way and Rescue Special Ops. “I feel right at home working on locations,” she said. “Every day is a new day with a new place to discover! I don’t stop until every last stone is uncovered and I find that perfect place incorporating all those important production needs with access and feasibility.” The youth mobile film workshops cost $20 per person.

New health division a “win” for the bush LAST week’s announcement of the establishment of a new Regional Health Division for NSW Health has been recognised as a “win” for the Central West by Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders who says the new division would ensure a renewed focus on the health services and outcomes for regional and rural patients. “The establishment of the Regional Health Division is a key step towards ensuring the public health system has the needs and expectations of the communities of regional NSW at its heart.” Minister for Regional Health Bronnie Taylor said the division will be located at the top level of the Ministry of Health and would ensure strong advocacy of regional health issues and “bring a renewed focus on recruitment to key healthcare roles” as well as finding “innovative ways to support nurses, doctors, allied health practitioners, and the vital support service providers who work in healthcare facilities, to live and work in our regional communities”. The division will be led by a Coordinator-General for Regional Health, who will report directly to the Secretary of NSW Health, Susan Pearce, and support and provide advice to the Minister for Regional Health about issues concerning health in regional communities. Staff will be based in regional NSW.

Family’s $8000 march for melanoma By STEPH ALLEN

SINCE the loss of Sally Everett’s beloved dad Lionel McGuire to Melanoma in November 2021, her family has been hitting the pavement, raising a whopping $8000 as part of Mission Melanoma. “Learning so much in such a brief period of time, it made our family committed to raising awareness of Melanoma and the importance of skin checks,” the Dubbo-born Narromine-resident said. “The first part of our commitment to this was participating in Mission Melanoma over the month of March 2022, raising funds for the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation.” Each day, the family walked as a combined team, clocking more than 230km throughout March. Lionel’s youngest daughter, Carin McGuire, and her own daughters braced rainy weather and flooding in Hawkesbury to meet their goals. “When we started fundraising, we aimed for $3000. If this happened, we would get matching tattoos of the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation Logo,” Ms Everett said. “Whilst Dad was not a fan of tattoos himself, we know this will be a lifetime way of keeping the conversation going. This will be happening in June 2022. It will also include Lionel’s granddaughters, Lily and Violet, (who will be) getting custom made temporary tattoos of the logo at the same time we get our permanent ones.”

COVID clinics change locations

FROM mid-April, Dubbo’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic and drive through testing will move to locations. The vaccination clinic was due to move to 7 Commercial Avenue in Blueridge Business Park yesterday (Wednesday, April 13) while the drive-through testing moved to the old Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) depot, located on Cobra Street, on Tuesday, April 12. Both COVID-19 facilities will operate current capacity following their move, enabling all Dubbo residents’ similar services prior to the move. Following the move, the COVID-19 drive-through testing clinic will be operated by Histopath Pathology. The vaccination clinic will operate from 12.30pm to 4.30pm, Wednesday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday. The drive-through testing will operate daily from 7am to 4pm.

When the goal was reached, the family decided to set a new milestone of $6600 in honour of the age at which Lionel died. “We then exceeded that with our final tally raised being an incredible $8000,” Ms Everett said. “We as a family are so grateful and thankful for all the support we received. Not only with our fundraising but those that lis-

tened to our story, shared our story, and got a skin check. “Over March as part of our fundraising, we ran a raffle with some incredible prizes, and we congratulate the winners and thank everyone that brought tickets.” The raffle was drawn by Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders on April 4, with prizes awarded to entrants up to ninth place.

“We will continue our mission to raise awareness and have conversations about Melanoma and work with the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation,” Ms Everett said. “Whilst not always easy conversations if we can contribute to preventing another family seeing their loved one suffer, we will do what we can.”

Hoping for an end to endometriosis By TIJANA BIRDJAN

WHEN Linda McCarthy sought treatment for her endometriosis more than 30 years ago, it took her more than a decade to get a correct diagnosis. With greater awareness and public health education, the average diagnosis time has now reduced to seven years. Growing up on a rural farm on the outskirts of Dubbo, Linda was influenced to believe her severe pelvic pains were a normal stage of becoming a woman. She shared that her grandmother and other women told her to “suck it up and deal with it”, claiming the pain would decrease with pregnancy. Experiencing symptoms from when she began her menstrual cycle, Linda laid on her kitchen tiles unable to walk, experienced chronic fainting and anaemia, a loss in appetite, severe cramping, excessive bleeding for eight-week periods, burst ovarian cysts and other serious symptoms. “Having endometriosis is worse than experiencing labour,” Linda said, sharing that she was hit by an unregistered drunk driver on the road which saw her admitted to rehab to learn how to walk again – she described her endometriosis as greater agony. Along with her partner Peter, Linda began to seek help in Sydney as there were no specialists in Dubbo at the time, and she admitted getting diagnosed was the hardest stage. “Doctors told me to see a psychiatrist or to drink more water – no one took me seriously,” Linda said, adding that her and Peter would sleep in the ute so they could afford her specialised medical bills. After breaking down in the hospital over a lack of diagnosis, Linda said she experienced the pressure of marriage and having children. “Peter and I decided not to get married as we would not be able to afford the medical bills and IVF treatments,” saying the judgements of priorities were difficult to for the couple deal with. Between IVF treatments, the couple tried to go the through adoption processes. Trying to get pregnant and still being undiagnosed left Linda adrift and still searching for answers. “We bought a house but couldn’t afford to live in it with all the treatments, so we leased it and lived in

a cheap rental nicknamed ‘the hay shed’. It was so bad we needed to purchase our own doors and windows,” she recalled. She told Dubbo Photo News her pains were so extremely severe one day that she had an ambulance called, supplying her the green whistle when they arrived. “At that moment my pain instantly reduced – I remember thinking ‘they found a cure for endometriosis’, and it was just that easy,” she said. “A new doctor came to town and diagnosed me, and I asked him what endometriosis was and how he knew, and he proceeded to tell me his sister was diagnosed.” After having 15 surgeries in her life, with most of them being for endometriosis, Linda shared she could not get treated at times until she experienced bleeding for recorded eight-week periods. Before her diagnosis, she recalled doctors were reading medical books in front of her trying to distinguish where her pain was located. “People told me it was normal, but crawling to the bathroom because you couldn’t walk wasn’t normal,”

she continued, saying she would lie to her work saying she had diarrhoea so she didn’t have to come in. “When I had to have surgeries, I would often ask for holiday leave,” she explained that was the only way she could get time off and still be guaranteed her position. Over the years, Linda has built up a fear of hospitals as she’s often not aware what happens when she goes in for an operation. “The scariest thing is waking up from a surgery and not knowing what happened,” she continued. In between treatments she was fortunate enough to become pregnant, however, but was so surprised she didn’t believe the doctor when he congratulated her. “I told him he mixed up the tests and made him do another test right

in front of me,” she continued saying she was shocked. Experiencing severe pain during her pregnancy, Linda heard those familiar words of “it’s normal” once again. “I didn’t know if it was or not, I’d never been pregnant before,” Linda said. Linda told Dubbo Photo News she started bleeding excessively during her pregnancy which led to her being in a hospital bed for almost six months. After an ultrasound, Linda discovered a part of the placenta came away during her pregnancy but said she was determined to fight for her baby. “That was probably my loneliest time – no one came to visit me,” she said that she didn’t have visitors due to developed preeclampsia, putting both Linda’s and her daughter’s life in jeopardy. Linda explained that a nurse told her she was in labour – she did not feel any pain, she asked me, “You can’t feel it?” Having endometriosis is much more painful and exhausting than labour, Linda admitted. Linda and Peter now have their 14-year-old daughter and a 25-yearold son working in emergency services who they have taken under their wing. Starting a project to bring health care workers and specialists to Dubbo, Linda purchased, renovated, and funded a house turning it into an accommodation facility. Whilst education and awareness is now more prominent, Linda believes there is still a long way to go when it comes to endometriosis. “There is still a huge stigma telling women to toughen up or labelling them as drama queens,” she adds, saying she will do whatever she can to help anyone else struggling with the condition. “I have had blood clots go to my heart and lungs, cysts and excessive bleeding and have been allocated to ICU and high care,” she continued, saying some women still wait more than 12 months for treatment with hysterectomy as their only solution. “Lots of people still don’t take pain seriously, unless they know someone who has had it,” she said. “I felt an instant relief when I was diagnosed.” She’s welcomed the news of an almost $60 million Federal Government funding boost for endometriosis treatment and research of the debilitating condition.

HUGE RANGE OF

Endometriosis patients still expected to pay

With over $58m pledged in the Federal Budget to establish specialised endometriosis clinics, Dubbo women are still facing unexpected costs to cover sonographer scans. Endometriosis suffers accessing ultrasounds are typically not offered comprehensive scans and obtain a ﬁnancial burden of covering substantial costs. Specialist sonographer Alison Deslandes said the new funding announced in the Budget for specialised endometriosis clinics are essential. “Given that 11 per cent of female-born Australians suffer from this painful condition that can take more than six years to diagnose, the funding is critical,” Ms Deslandes said.

Specialist sonographer Alison Deslandes. PHOTO: UNISA Ultrasounds are the frontline imaging tool for any gynaecological issue, however more thorough scans are required to assess the uterus, ovaries, anterior and posterior compartments. More thorough scans required to detect nodules of the condition take 64 per cent longer than a routine scan, Ms Deslandes said, pointing out that additional time adds a signiﬁcant burden and is cost prohibitive for many centres. While the supplementary funding is supported, patients around Dubbo and across the country are still likely to face barriers and delays to the diagnosis. A UniSA study is investigating ultrasound criteria and measurements of uterosacral ligaments, where endometriosis commonly appears. Researchers hope this will enable an earlier diagnosis and management of endometriosis.

Mayor, Coulton at odds over value of grant pre-payment By STEPH ALLEN

COUNCILS across the Parkes electorate have had a chunk of next year’s Financial Assistance Grant pre-paid ahead of the election, with federal member Mark Coulton saying the early payment would give councils access to their future funds to help manage the cumulative impacts of recent flooding and COVID-19.

“This will provide a vital boost for our local communities, backing local jobs and economic growth while delivering lasting upgrades that will benefit residents for years to come,” Mr Coulton said. Dubbo Regional Council will receive $9,446,716 and Narromine Shire Council will receive $3,759,984. However, Dubbo Regional Council mayor Mathew Dickerson said the

pre-payment had not made a significant difference in the town’s finances. “They’re saying ‘here’s the money now, instead of next year’ but what do you do next year?” he said. “It’s not that exciting to get the money now. “My biggest concern is the reduction...the Federal Government gives money to council via the state, and the state determines who gets the money and in

what quantity. “This is the first time they’ve implemented the formula, based around a council’s disadvantage level. They determined Dubbo to be in a good state, therefore they give less money. “It seems like a penalty for being a council in good order.” Mr Dickerson said he would not accept the provided proposal, and would

COMMUNITY KITCHEN COMES BACK WITH NO COST

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

AFTER a short hiatus, the Dubbo Community Kitchen returns this Friday at the Holy Trinity Anglican Hall from 6.00pm-7.30pm. The volunteer run event is providing a free two course meal, every first Friday of the month, beginning tomorrow, Good Friday. Dubbo Community Kitchen coordinator, Kristine Holland said the team wants to reintroduce the kitchen in hopes of bringing the community back together. Ms Holland recently took over the position from Megan Rootes who has been coordinating the event for more than ten years. “A big thank you to Megan for turning the Community Kitchen nights into the events they are now,” she said of the event that is run for the community by the community and is funded entirely by community donations. Community Kitchen is open to everyone in Dubbo, however Ms Holland expressed that a lot

instead ask for the same or more money than before. “They’re bringing some of it forward, not the full amount. I don’t see how it helps at all because we’ll still need money in the budget next year,” he said. “I’d go so far to say that it probably promotes poor budgeting because we’re trying to spend the money earlier. “I’d rather see other developments.”

of guests who attend have experienced previous hardships. “This is a chance for people to get together and share a meal with one another and have a conversation,” she continued, saying the safety of the environment allows for people to experience a calm atmosphere.

Speedway’s grant for grandstand

By STEPH ALLEN

ANOTHER Dubbo sporting club has received a welcome boost thanks to NSW Government’s latest ClubGrants round. Dubbo City Speedway Club was given $57,577 for new infrastructure at the Morris Park Motorsport precinct. The funding will be used to install five grandstands with shade at the Morris Park Motorsports complex, with each grandstand able to seat up to 40 adults. The club has put previous grants to use for the construction of a control tower, office and clubroom. “This new infrastructure will increase the club’s opportunities to host high quality meetings, which in turn brings visitors to Dubbo, providing a welcome boost to the economy,” according to Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders. Dubbo City Speedway Club Secretary Tiana Spears said the club was delighted to receive the funding. “This grant will allow us to provide elevated seating for patrons to use as we continue to grow our events and provide a more user-friendly venue,” she said. The Infrastructure Grants program is made possible by ClubGrants Category Three, which re-invests profits from registered clubs’ gaming machines into community projects.

Filled with glee in bilby sanctuary By TIJANA BIRDJAN ONCE classified extinct in NSW, Taronga Western Plains Zoo (TWPZ) established a breeding program in 2019 to reintroduce bilbies to Sturt National Park after a century’s absence. Greater bilby keeper Steve Kleinig shares that the sanctuary took more than two years of preparation leading up to the release of the first round of bilbies, with the preparation including fence upgrading and proofing to prevent predatory animals such as cats, foxes and rabbits from entering, along with high levels of pest control and upgraded security to track and monitor the growth of the bilbies. With more than110 hectares to venture in, Steve describes the sanctuary as not being a traditional breeding ground given it has traits of the wild without the threat of predators. Sixteen bilbies were introduced from different locations into the wild sanctuary with careful monitoring to ensure they were healthy and able to maintain a positive quality of life. Steve says there are hundreds of bilbies in the enclosure currently as they can breed from

five months old, and some are on their fourth generation. “We are extremely fortunate as the conditions of the sanctuary are well kept and are improving over time,” he says, adding there has been an abundance of vegetation and food since their initial release. Steve and the zoo advocate that bilbies should be representatives for an Australian Easter rather than rabbits, which are competitors to the native creatures. “Bilbies used to roam over 70 per cent of Australia before rabbits were introduced in Australia,” he says, adding that during a period there were only 10,000 bilbies in Australia. “Rabbits are categorised as a pest in Australia as they are direct competitors to bilbies.” Greater bilbies pouch their offspring for 14 days, however the young do not leave the pouch for approximately 70 days after their birth. Through the zoo’s breeding program and other programs around Australia, Steve shares that once the bilbies mature, they are introduced into national parks to increase their population. With a high turnover, bilbies maintain their genetic diversity with consistency and improve-

ment for wildlife releases. Through regular tracking and health checks, Steve says ten bilbies were released to Sturt National Park Wild Deserts in September 2020. Through the collaborative effort of the zoo and the Wild Deserts project at Sturt National Park, bilbies are set to start a species-led renovation of their desert ecosystem. National Parks and Wildlife deputy secretary Atticus Fleming AM says the project is expected to increased population by 17 per cent at Sturt National Park. “In these feral-free areas, we

are turning back time by restoring the Australian bush to what it should be – alive with small mammals such as the bilby,” Mr Fleming shared. “Our small to medium sized mammals have suffered catastrophic declines in the last 200 years, driven by feral cats which kill 1.4 billion native animals every year. “Creating large feral cat-free areas with conservation fencing will save species from extinction to help restore populations until we find an effective strategy for removing feral cats from the Australian bush.”

Sign on show at Royal Easter Show By JOHN RYAN

A DUBBO upcycler is recycling and innovating above his weight, with Matt Rendell’s latest creation being placed at the Royal Easter Show’s main gate where hundreds of thousands of people will enter during the 12 days of the event. The sign was commissioned to commemorate the 200 year

anniversary of the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) being established in Australia. “This was a Royal Easter Show (RES) special order sign that we made under the WrenDelle brand in Dubbo and we’ve fitted at the Little Hands on the Land main gate – which is an interactive exhibition that allows children to interact with the experience of

real-life farming,” Mr Rendell told Dubbo Photo News. The white box is a fully working/operational lighting signbox which lights up at night, the right hand timber side and frame were upcycled from local timber from around the Dubbo and Forbes areas. “Working closely with Jodie Sawyer, the RES event coordinator, it has been a massive

hit,” he said. “Collaborative partnerships are everything when it comes to creativity, so working very closely with David Petty from Monster Signs, we designed and built this piece in Dubbo.” Jodie Sawyer has confirmed the 200th anniversary commemorative sign will be moved to feature in the main RAS office at Olympic Park.

FIVE GENERATIONS OF FAMILY LOVE By TIJANA BIRDJAN WITH eight children of her own, 89-yearold Norma Barrows is also grandmother to 44 grandchildren and great grandmother to eight. Barbara Roche is Norma’s eldest daughter and has given her mother five generations, with her own children Anthony and Paula having two children each, meaning two sets of five generations. Another daughter. Michelle, has one set of five generations and another due in October, which will be Norma’s first set of twin

great grandchildren. “It has been such a blessing and so lovely to see everyone grow up,” Norma said, adding she is very proud of her family. Reflecting on her younger days, she said it was a wonderful time to raise a family. “Having all the children around me is great, I love seeing them,” she expressed that she had not met a few of her great grandchildren yet due to them living in different locations. Rosalie Litchfield is Norma’s youngest great granddaughter and is only a month old.

Docs urge pollies to commit to ﬁlling rural health gaps By STEPH ALLEN RURAL doctors have urged major political parties to commit to significant and long-lasting investments into the rural health system after a Senate Inquiry interim report provided recommendations for improving the rural health care system. The Inquiry found a need for an increase in Medicare rebates for GP consultations, as well as improved location-based incentives to encourage doctors to move to rural areas. The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) and some of its state Rural Doctors Associations contributed submissions, with some appearing before the Inquiry. “We are pleased to see the Inquiry backing the need for additional supports and investment in the rural health space, and in general practice more broadly,” RDAA president Dr Megan Belot said.

RDAA will make a follow-up submission to the Senate Inquiry.

Keswick Estate land release a ‘drop in the ocean’, more land needed By BROOKE JACOBSON BUILDERS Group and Real Estate Institute of NSW- Orana Division have welcomed council’s announcement of the release of 110 blocks of land in the Keswick Estate. But it’s still a drop in the ocean compared to what is needed to address the housing crisis in Dubbo, according to REI Orana spokesman, Lachlan Cusack. “It’s a massive forward step from a council that hasn’t touched this issue for two years,” Mr Cusack told Dubbo Photo News. “But speaking in terms of supply and demand, it’s a minor dint in our overall problem. “Are we just going to keep on releasing 50 blocks after 50 blocks of single house land? That doesn’t address the problem of undersupply.” Mr Cusack said part of the solution was in higher density housing. “We’ve seen a change in what buyers want, no longer is the 1000sq metre land with a four-bedroom home what everyone is looking for,” he said. “We’ve had an influx of 3000 people in the past 12 months to the region, and we need alternative solutions.

Building and real estate industry spokespeople have welcomed council’s release of more land in Keswick Estate, but say it’s a “drop in the ocean” in what’s needed to address Dubbo’s housing crisis. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

“The land up behind Orana Mall was council land and it was released in the early 90s, it was done rapidly and with a range of options provided – you’ll see units up there, townhouses, duplexes. “So, we’ve done it before and we’re not reinventing the wheel here. “The average working family would love a townhouse, with three bedrooms and no maintenance. And it’s the same for young professionals – we’re telling people ‘come to the regions, it’s a great lifestyle’ but we’ve got nowhere for them to live.” Council has announced 50 blocks will be available for

buyers in June this year and a further 60 in February 2023. “So that solves 110 people’s problems,” Mr Cusack said. Builders Group spokesman Brad Acheson said these new releases only went “part of the way” in making up for the undersupply in the period of the previous council from late 2017 to 2021, “when only 59 lots of Keswick land were released”. “Although this land release will assist to meet the immediate demand of home buyers and builders, it is in no way a solution to the critical undersupply of housing in Dubbo,” he said. “Our groups look forward

to council setting out their strategy for further Keswick releases over the next two years.” Mr Cusack added his other worry was council’s intention to auction off each block. “My concern is, is that an affordable option for people,” he said. “Part of council’s responsibility is to provide affordable housing. “And my concern is that auctioning each block is going to have a negative effect, and it’s going to leave a lot of people bitterly disappointed. There could be 300 people there competing for those blocks – competing against developers, builders. “And is there going to be a restriction on who can buy the blocks? Are we going to let one person buy all of them? That’s contrary to the spirit of this land release.” He said it was time to “pull the trigger” on land releases and higher density housing. “We have to also look at what people can do with the land they have – can they put a granny flat there, can they subdivide,” Mr Cusack said. “We’re on the back foot here – we’ve had massive growth and we are taking a reactive approach, rather than a proactive approach.”

Communicating with clients to strive for confidence

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

AFTER moving to Dubbo less than three months ago, Olivia Job is keen to further her experiences by working in the finance industry while studying. A client service coordinator at PrincipleFocus, Olivia describes herself as the middle ground in between clients and accountants, her role being to create financial reports and liaise with clients to allow for accountants to specialise in their work. Commencing her position at the end of January this month, Olivia says her knowledge of working in the finance industry has developed significantly. “It’s really great experience and I’m glad I’m doing this while I’m studying parttime as it provides me the opportunity to grow and discover what I actually want to do and like about the field,” she continues, saying she learns new information every day. Being new to town, Olivia has experienced many personal changes to her lifestyle, including work challenges. The company has experienced many internal changes and she says it’s always difficult starting a new job. “Sometimes you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing, but my team have been very supportive,” Olivia says she travels to Warren every second Monday and Tuesday as the company has a space there. Currently studying part-time accounting through the University of New England, she hopes to finish her degree by the end of the following year and explains that she found an advertisement and imagined it would be great for her to career

to commence work while studying. “If I’m studying to be an accountant in the future, I might as well try it now and gain more opportunity through work,” she adds. Olivia tells Dubbo Photo News that her family own a property in Hillston and thought Dubbo would be a stable in between her university lifestyle and family. “I knew a few people in Dubbo so it made the transition easier,” she says, adding that she’s looking forward to changing her environment as she can meet new people and focus on developing her professional career. “I still haven’t settled in completely, but I’m learning the ropes.” Olivia envisions herself staying in Dubbo for the next three to five years to eventually be employed as an accountant. “This line of work is great for me currently as it is not too demanding and I’m not providing financial advice, but I get to build strong relationships with both clients and accountants. “I’ve learnt that I really like communicating with clients,” she says that this opportunity has opened avenues of consulting and correspondence. By the time she finishes her degree, Olivia hopes to gain a deeper understanding in the financial field and see where opportunities can take her. Fresh to Dubbo, Olivia Job has taken up the client service coordinator position at PrincipleFocus and is liaising between clients and accountants. She hopes to graduate as an accountant when she finishes her degree. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

3 job ideas for sports fans

If you’re handy and enjoy fixing things, you might enjoy working as a sports equipment repairer.

IF you enjoy playing sports or are a die-hard fan, here are three ways you could turn your passion into a profession. 1. Coach If you have strong leadership skills, you may want to put them to good use by leading a sports team. Coaches are much more than motivators. They know how to bring out the best in every player. Additionally, they’re excellent strategists who can analyse opponent strengths and weaknesses and develop winning tactics. 2. Equipment repairer If you’re handy and enjoy fixing things, you might enjoy working at a sports venue or specialty shop.

You could be responsible for adjusting and repairing a variety of equipment from tennis rackets to mountain bikes and more. 3. E-sport athlete Did you know that e-sports were recently declared an official sporting activity by some countries? Additionally, the International Olympic Committee has shown interest in including e-sports as a medal event. If you’re an avid gamer, this modern sport could open a world of possibilities. You could even participate in tournaments around the world. To identify further opportunities, keep an eye out for sports-related jobs in your area.

A home away from home By TIJANA BIRDJAN WHEN he transferred his skills and experience from property and real estate, the transition to a position at Macquarie Homestay Rod Crowfoot was seamless. He commenced his position as Operational Manager at the affordable accommodation facility, which is available for people who are seeking medical treatments in Dubbo. Mr Crowfoot shared that he originally joined the Macquarie Homestay board as the inaugural chairperson in 2011, while still working in real estate, adding that members of the committee urged him to commit to the new role full time. “My family and I have been pretty lucky and have not experienced a bad medical journey so I can’t say that was a reason, but I’ve been involved in a lot of charities and not-for-profits for a long time,” Mr Crowfoot expressed. A background in property and real estate gives him valuable prior knowledge and experience to apply to future expansion for the organisation. “At Homestay, especially with the

new phases we are planning to develop, we deal with construction, marketing and guest hospitality,” he shared, saying his years of life experience have given him the opportunity to implement those skills in his work. With some guests being nervous and timid regarding their medical treatment, Mr Crowfoot assures that Macquarie Homestay provides a safe space to anyone in need of medical treatment. Guests are free come in and out of the facility as they wish, but he said, “they know they are behind the gates and the world is out there and for a lot of them, they love that they can walk to and from the hospital for their treatment”. Guests are often accompanied by their partners, carers or families, Mr Crowfoot expressed that their health is also vital in the recovery of patients. He shared that after witnessing a couple of ladies eating two-minute noodles as a meal and eating poorly, he helped arrange for local Rotary clubs to provide meals on a rostered basis to encourage community spirit. “We’ve identified a few niches and that is really important to not only

us, but the community,” he continued, saying the support of other charities and organisations creates a positive environment. Mr Crowfoot explains he gets personal fulfilment from listening to hearing other people’s stories and smiled saying “some people just want to have a chat and share their journey with a stranger”. He advised that whatever the treatment is, there is accommodation to suit personal needs, however, Macquarie Homestay is currently securing funds to expand the facility. With limited existing space, Mr Crowfoot expressed the challenge of declining people who need accommodation. He told Dubbo Photo News that 50 per cent are returning guests and a large portion of the half are based on recommendations. “The fact that they can walk away having a great experience, regardless of their position medically is a great thing for us,” he shared that it is a communal effort by the administrative staff, housekeepers, gardeners, and everyone in the facility to encompass the Macquarie Homestay values.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Traffic bingles TALK about some wild weather in town over the past week or so. Hopefully we’ll see a few nice days over Easter so the tourism and hospitality businesses can cash in on what’s traditionally a very busy time for the city and the broader region. The wet weather and unsettled conditions saw a few car crashes around and about including one bingle where a motorist apparently backed out into oncoming traffic outside the DRTCC just after 5.30pm on Sunday, April 10. As is usually the case around this part of the world, there were loads of police and rescue but thankfully no-one seriously injured.

Myall Street crash ABOUT 1pm on Monday, April 11, police attended the intersection of Myall and Welchman Streets, Dubbo, following reports of a crash. Both drivers exchanged details and one driver was taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for checking. Both cars were towed, no-one suffered serious injuries.

Lucky escape A SPECTACULAR crash occurred about 1pm on Friday, April 8 and emergency services’ sirens lit up Dubbo as they responded to a crash at the intersection of Troy Bridge Road and the Newell Highway. A truck ended up on its side and a four-wheel-drive towing a caravan was jack-knifed across the ultra-busy intersection but luckily no-one was seriously hurt in the collision itself, or from the aftermath which is often the case

in poor conditions, when drivers coming upon crash scenes can plough into the wreckage themselves. Both drivers were taken to Dubbo Hospital for treatment of minor injuries and mandatory testing and police commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Giant pothole near Bunnings AS if the bad weather hasn’t been enough to contend with, how about that giant pothole that’s been installed near Bunnings? One of our photographers felt obliged to take some photos after seeing cars navigate the hazard with difficulty on April 11. Dubbo Photo News contacted Dubbo Regional Council and was told the responsibility lies with the owners of the Blue Ridge estate – we contacted them but alas, were yet to hear back at the time of going to print. We’re keen to know why and how such a massive pothole was allowed to develop to such an extent and also asked when it was going to be fixed.

We're waiting to hear back from the owners of the Blue Ridge estate about what they're doing to make this giant pothole disappear before a small car disappears into it. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ KEN SMITH

Aussie generosity flows with flood and blood support By TIJANA BIRDJAN WITH the recent tragedies of the momentous floods Queensland and NSW are facing, affected areas are now transitioning into a long-term recovery stage. The Australian Red Cross is providing urgent humanitarian support to the communities greatly affected as well as encouraging people to donate blood for needy survivors. From initially setting up evacuation units to providing psychosocial support, NSW Divisional Advisory Board chairperson, John MacLennan, travelled from Orange to Lismore to applaud the members and volunteers working through the affected areas. He has spoken to volunteers and members over the phone and says it’s “obvious that they have been under enormous personal stress”, sacrificing their time and energy to assist survivors. He shared that the volunteers are not paid for their commitments in Lismore and some are even recovering from their own devastations. Mr MacLennan does not have a specified role visiting the impacted towns, however, he vowed to thank members and volunteers personally from the highest level as he is also on the national

committee. He expressed that through the generosity of Australians and the Australian Red Cross telethon, more than $25m was raised and will be supplied through grants for survivors needing support due to the floods. “The recovery is going to take a long time, but I think as a community we are prepared to do what we can.” Working and volunteering with the organisation for 24 years, Mr MacLennan has enjoyed seeing his role adapt with each situation or circumstance. “To know that the Australian Red Cross has a huge presence internationally signifies the im-

portance of what we do,” he said, adding that whether the charity is working on small programs or overseas projects, they always seek to help. Mr MacLennan told Dubbo Photo News the emblem of the organisation helps him stay motivated as does the feeling of helping someone else, and said “volunteers will never admit that it also makes them feel good too – at the end of the day you do it because you enjoy it”. A long-time blood donor, Val Buchanan recently made her 175th blood donation and was recently awarded a badge for her remarkable efforts. Mrs Buchanan shared that she

has been donating her blood since the age of 18 after learning her older sister required blood donation after giving birth. Over the five decades of donations, Val has consistently donated every three months – apart from breaks between having her four children. Mrs Buchanan and her husband used to donate together, however, he after he reached his 100th donation he developed a few health issues which prevented him from donating. She said the nurses have made each experience memorable with supplying a milkshake after each donation, so after retiring, Mrs Buchanan commenced a volunteering position at the blood bank to organise refreshments for the patients. With new technology donors receive an SMS to let them know where their blood has been used, which Mrs Buchanan says is “very satisfying as I know directly where I am helping”. Mrs Buchanan encourages everyone eligible to donate blood or plasma as it is a simple, yet effective way to help the community.

World-first apps for problem gambling

TWO world-first apps have been created to help gamblers access support and to help encourage responsible gambling, addressing the “serious issue” of problem gambling. Minister for Hospitality and Racing Kevin Anderson said the urge to gamble can take hold at any time of the day or night and that the NSW Government had spent more than $400,000 developing the apps “that will act as a circuit breaker to give people real-time support 24/7” and enable easier access to support services. Deakin University Professor Nicki Dowling led the development of the GamblingLess: Inthe-Moment app, which has been designed to help people quit gambling or gamble less by serving as a counsellor on their phone. Experienced gambling clinicians also came on board to help design the apps. “The app provides interactive activities which are tailored to each person’s individual needs by helping them curb urges and tackle triggers,” Ms Dowling said. The second app, Gambling Habit Hacker, will help users who want to reduce the time and money they spend gambling and developers say that, “While an app will never be a substitute for a human professional, these online platforms are designed to help people manage their gambling behaviours in the moment. Accessibility is key where gambling triggers are concerned”. If you or your loved one is affected by gambling, call GambleAware on 1800 858 858 for free, confidential support.

Hey USA! Charger! By JOHN RYAN A VERY rare car at the last Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee was stopping locals in their tracks – the bronze metallic 1968 Dodge Charger with a 383 cubic inch Chrysler V8 big block coupled to a 727 transmission. Barry Fogwell, from Lemon Tree Passage, bought it in Alabama in 1996 and shipped it back home. “I had it for three or four years and my son Darren liked it so he bought it and he’s spent the money on it,” Mr Fogwell told Dubbo Photo News. “I love American cars. I’ve got a few from the late 1950s, all Chryslers: a 1959 Desoto, a Chrysler New Yorker coupe, my original Desoto is a four door Australia-assembled car. There were about 94 assembled in South Australia and I’ve had it for 51 years,” remarking he’s always had a fascination for cars built under the Chrysler umbrella. “My first car was a ’52 Plymouth and my brother

had a ’49 Dodge. They’re a little bit different from Fords and Chevs. There are not nearly as many of them. We love them – if you use them, they just keep going.” Barry’s son Darren drove from his home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches to pick up his dad before heading out to Dubbo for the final night of the drive-in. “Dad’s been here a couple of times. When they said they were closing it, I had to come,” he said, telling Dubbo Photo News that he just loves to drive classic Chryslers as much as he can. “I’ve driven this car to Queensland, Melbourne, I’d drive it anywhere. I just maintain what needs to be done. I rebuilt the engine in 2002 and haven’t touched it since,” he said. “My cousin and I went on another trip to the US with Dad and we picked up a 1964 Chrysler 300 that had been in storage for 12 years, got that going and then drove it to Alabama and then to Columbus Ohio and

sold that in the ‘car corral’. “We then went back to Alabama and bought a ’69 Dodge Superbee out of a paddock and got that going, spent a week on that, then drove it to Florida then all the way across America and put it on the boat and brought it home and now I’m rebuilding that.” While Mopars aren’t common in Australia, Darren says where he lives, there are about 10 similar cars. “On the peninsula, there’s a couple of Cars and Coffee

(events) locally but I go to the further ones because I prefer to drive the car,” he reiterated. “This colour is ‘bronze metallic’ and it’s painted in acrylic, not two-pak, it’s a factory hardtop, the way you see it is the way it came from the factory. “It’s a rare colour for these cars apparently, this car has still got all the numbers matching stuff on it that came from the factory, everyone calls it the ‘grandpa car’ because of the colour.”

Barry and Darren Fogwell love their Chryslers, this 1968 Dodge Charger just one of the many they’ve imported from the USA. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Bringing hope to each country town By TIJANA BIRDJAN

TRAVELLING from Donald, Victoria and finishing in Pallamallawa in northern NSW, the Riverina Redneck Rally is a seven-day charity event raising money for Country Hope, a family support organisation for children diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Last Friday, more than 90 rally cars with some 150 participants stopped in Dubbo, dressed in superhero costumes to commemorate their appreciation for the growth of the organisation. Dubbo mother, Erin Ray, shared her story of how Country Hope has assisted throughout the journey of her son, Mitchell, who was six years old when he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, Australia’s most common cancer for babies and toddlers. With the common age of diagnosis being two years old, Mitchell completed his first year of school in between treatments. Relocating her family’s life to Sydney, Mrs Ray was informed that the treatment process would take 13-18 months. Mitchell was diagnosed four days before baby Connor was born, with his first chemo session being on the day of his baby brother’s arrival. Mrs Ray said Connor experienced health difficulties when he was born having to undertake two surgeries, one at four weeks, the other at six weeks. The challenge of both her sons needing medical attention coin-

cided with the pandemic first impacting Australia. When she discovered Country Hope, Ms Ray felt instant relief as she was speaking directly to a charity and not through a third-party. “Country Hope (was) there for me, whether I needed financial, social or any practical assistance,” she continued, saying Country Hope put money directly into their account as grocery vouchers were not attainable during the lockdown period. “The organisation gave us plenty of support during an over-

whelming time,” Mrs Ray shared that Mitchell’s cancer mutated quickly, but he remained happy during the final moments of his life. “Our house is haunted, but in the most beautiful way,” Mrs Ray expressed that she is currently experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD and trying to survive each day with grace. Mitchell Ray died on December 6 2020, two weeks after his seventh birthday. Mrs Ray said that during a time when no one felt like celebrating the festive season, Country Hope

was generous enough to supply a hamper. Riverina Redneck Rally riders Drack Russell, Darren James and Ricky Hard expressed their passion for Country Hope and said they want to raise money for a supportive charity. This year the rally raised more than $550,000 with Ricky Hard and his team alone gathering more than $70,000. Mr Russell said all the riders get involved in the event and are very supportive of the families in need. “We’re all here for a good cause and to help the children and their families.”

EMERGENCY REPORT

Power outage

JUST when you need your electricity, when the weather is at its worst, our power providers have the habit of letting us down and April 10 was no exception for a large part of East Dubbo when a transformer box apparently went up in flames. This caused an unplanned outage to much of the city’s East, some people were without power for at least two hours from just after 2pm.

IT’S A RECORD!  Competitive eater Leah Shutkever (UK) has done it again. The record-breaker from West Midlands has snatched the record for most chicken nuggets eaten in one minute. Leah, who already has several world record titles under her belt, ate 352 grams (the equivalent of a share box of 19 nuggets) of the McDonald’s snack in 60 seconds. She set the record while ﬁlming the 2022 edition of Guinness World Records’ Italian TV show at the Mediaset Studios in Milan. According to officials at Guinness World Records, it’s one of the most coveted and hotly contested titles they follow.

Dubbo taps into ultra-fast NBN roll-out

DUBBO residents will be able to access ultra-fast broadband as part of a new roll-out by NBN Co. The internet corporation announced the city would be included in its seventh tranche of Australian suburbs and towns to become eligible for an upgrade to NBN’s Fibre to the Premises (FTTP). Being included in the areas selected by NBN Co in Fibre to the Node areas means 1.7 million premises will now be eligible for upgrades to access ultra-fast broadband speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps). Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said 2,472 Dubbo premises will be able to access the ultrafast broadband. “Households and businesses in towns like Dubbo will be able to access NBN Co’s fastest internet plans of up to 1 gigabit per second, on demand by 2023.” At the moment 42 per cent of the fixed line network is gigabit-enabled. Last week, NBN announced the first 50,000 premises were able to upgrade to FTTP when residents place an order with a retailer to on an eligible service.

RAWSONVILLE’S Memorial Hall will be brought to life on Friday, April 22 with regional and rural performers travelling across rural and regional Australia to showcase their acoustic talent and storytelling ability. Through elemental themes, each Boneyard Session will be unique, with Dubbo’s theme being “air”. Bush Witch Productions owner Aimee Volkofsky says the program aims to bring music to life and on the road once again. The company was established during Covid, with the collective of musicians showcasing their talents on YouTube and other digital platforms for greater exposure. “A digital presence is vital to any starting musician as you can grow your audience, but nothing compares to the warmth and realness of music in real life,” Aimee expresses. Aimee was always inspired by creativity whether it has been through producing music, creating film or through graphic design. She explains that through her production company, she has been successful in “bringing spotlight into little patches of NSW”. With lyrics being an important part of songs, Aimee shares that her goal was to encompass the power of storytelling and expression through the musician’s performances. “I want people to share songs that tell genuine stories of life experiences, local history, grief and loss or connection to the country,” she continues. She tells Dubbo Photo News a themed element for each show was selected as she wanted to emphasise that “this is our natural world and this is our place on it”. The songs will express abstract terms and artists are provided the opportunity to illustrate what the term “air” means to them. “People have the creativity to write about what they want, whether it be wind or breath or anything that correlates with the element,” she continues, saying the environment is an influential part of storytelling. Travelling from Broken Hill, My Dearest Dear duo Alexandra Rosenblum and Oli Dear share that they are excited to perform in Dubbo collaborating with Bush

Witch Productions. “I have grown up with music,” Alex shares that music is her way of connecting with people whether it be through happiness or grief. The duo specialises in performing old Americana covers influenced by Australian native culture. “Oli and I share stories through the stories of other people,” she says, adding she is heavily influenced by the lives and experiences of strangers and environments. Dubbo local Georgie Breen (née Volkofsky) says she is looking forward to performing in the hall as she was married there. Learning to play the guitar at age 12, she was influenced by her father growing up as he would encourage her to share her gift and not let it go to waste.

Tonnes of illegal dumping an eye-sore at Nanima Reserve By STEPH ALLEN FED up with the constant scourge of illegal dumping, Wiradjuri Wellington Aboriginal Town Common Aboriginal Corporation chair Anita Johnson is fighting to keep the 183 hectares of land adjacent to the Wellington tip free from tonnes of trash. WWATCAC has owned the land at Nanima Reserve since the amalgamation of Dubbo and Wellington council in 2016. “We have been plagued with constant illegally dumped rubbish from within our local community members,” she said. “This is a sad but true reality; it creates health and environmental issues that place our Aboriginal Cultural awareness programs and those clients interested in obtaining access to this information provided by us, in jeopardy and places them at risk of danger and health problems. “One of the main problems here seems to be the tip being adjacent

to our property, another is the escalating tip fees that are being charged, as to offload even two mattresses is a costing of between $60 – $80.” Some of the items being dumped on the land include mattresses, abandoned cars, general trash, fridges, housing material, and windows. “My daughter and I took three loads to the dump when we were dealing with the first ranger who organised for the concrete barrier to go up,” Ms Johnson said. “The main reason we haven’t got signs up is we’re unofficial. We applied for a grant under the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), however because we’re not already in partnership with the Local Aboriginal Lands council, we’re unable to apply for that grant. “I have notified council of that and last year I was working with someone they brought up from the coast down Wollongong way. He was collecting data for council

Since December 2021, 6.5 tonnes of trash has been illegally dumped at Nanima Reserve. PHOTOS: ANITA JOHNSON

on illegal dumping and he found nine areas of dumping (despite) the barrier.” Ms Johnson said there are a number of ways to deter people from dumping illegally, including council introducing a free day once a month to lower the dumping rate, or an overall decrease in tip fees. “I have dealt with DRC rangers on at least 4 separate occasions

they were helpful in placing a barrier at one dumping spot and removing rubbish from that area,” she said. “However, since then, another 11 dumping areas have been used by our community members. “As of December 2021, there were 5.5 tonnes of rubbish that still remains on our land and needs to be removed...it has since escalated to between 6-6.5

tonnes. It’s getting worse.

“I would like to remind our Wellington community members that at times it may well be your children that are involved in excursions to learn of the historically important information we provide, which in turn those dumping rubbish are placing these children and our workers at risk. “Please do the right thing.”

April 14-20, 2022 Dubbo Photo News

Election ‘22: Meet the candidates With Australia set to go to the polls on Saturday, May 21, Dubbo Photo News’ TIJANA BIRDJAN sought answers to a set of questions posed to each of the candidates who at the time of going to print, had thrown their hats into the ring to represent the people of the Parkes Electorate in Canberra. Here, in alphabetical order are their thoughts on a range of topics. JACK AYOUB: Australian Labor Party JACK Ayoub is the Australian Labor Party candidate for the Parkes electorate. Born and raised in Coonabarabran, Jack is 26 years old and is an official for the Australian Workers Union. ••• What experiences and education have you had that give you the qualiﬁcations to represent this vast federal electorate as our representative in Canberra? My engagement in politics was always there, throughout my education at St John’s College I founded a forum which enabled people from the college to share their different ideas. I was also educated at the University of Sydney. Over the years I formed a friendship with Bob Carr who led me into the direction of politics. What are the biggest issues facing Australia and how would you ﬁx them? We are witnessing a huge issue of geopolitics with security and that is very clear looking at the Solomon Islands. Housing has always been an issue, we are facing a $10b housing crisis with no accommodation available. I grew up regionally and in housing commission, so I understand a needing to upgrade our housing status. A huge issue we’re facing is health across the nation with health worked being overworked during the pandemic. Labor established Medicare and have a clear plan for aged care. Many of us know the aged care industry is very sub-par and we want to fix that. How will our debt burden impact future generations? Without a question – we are in unprecedented circumstances. We are currently experiencing no credibility with high amounts of debt and deficit and the Federal Budget only reinforced this. You need to make investments and structural change to dividends to provide long term and full-time sustainable work for generational flow. Is the two-party system broken? It is the best worst system we have. It’s great because it provides us to be critical and responsible of our own party and seek out strong candidates to get them into parliament and support change. The parliament currently presents an endless stream of political hacks of individuals who worked in an office and (have) taken over that office. They need to be instructed to lift their game and if people want to make a change they should enter the political arena – it’s not good enough to shout from the sidelines. By having your voice heard, you can make an impact on the Australian political system.

Australian Labor Party candidate, Jack Ayoub putting up fencing at the newly installed “Stop and Play” park in his home town of Coonabarabran. PHOTO: SUPPLIED What’s your favourite colour and why? Out of all the questions, I really had to think about this one. I would have to go with red. I’m a red head and Labor is red. Do you have any pets? I don’t at the moment, but I’m still very fond of my dog that I had growing up. My dad bought a black brindle after my mum passed. How will you lobby the importance of regional health and ensure people of the Parkes electorate will not be a shadow behind metropolitan areas? My mum was a nurse, so I spent a lot of my youth in regional hospitals that provided a range of services and specialised staff, however, over time it has become a glorified waiting space. The mammoth bureaucracy is slowing things down. We need to change GP business models to provide sustainability and build relationships with our communities. It is almost impossible to gain access to GP – (they) must pay for their premises, nurses and all other costs and it is time for reform to make it more accessible for our community. With everything going on in the world currently, how well do you think Australia is handling it politically? The government is presenting us in an ‘un-Australian’ light by degrading and disrespecting us on the world stage. With our geopolitical and our international political history, Australia is being represented as an arrogant outcast when it comes to acting on climate change. We are not doing fundamentally well by tearing up contracts and Labor will proudly rebuild Australia’s reputation and

national security. Are you prepared to listen and to vouch for your people? Absolutely, without qualification. In my community I have spoken about a community safety forum regarding the crime wave we are experiencing at the moment. I have been gathering and filtering letters to make change. Even though, I am not elected yet, the community have my support to reflect their decisions made. My goal is to present an accurate depiction of the community and to see the right thing done by the people elected. With most states being Labor and NSW being Liberal, how do you think this will affect the federal election? I don’t think it will influence the federal election too much, however, we do know that people want change. For changes to be made, a change in votes is required. What is your favourite charity and why? It is Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off the Streets. I was extremely lucky to be a recipient when my father died, and I was on the borderline of being homeless. They really supported me, and I was honoured to sing at a large gala event they had in Sydney. I’m a really big fan of the organisation and they truly impacted my life.

MARK COULTON: The Nationals HE has been the Federal Member for Parkes since 2007, and Mark Coulton will be running for his sixth term to represent the Nationals at the forthcoming election. The 64 year old farmer and grazier has previously held the portfolio as the Minister for Regional Health, Regional Communications and Local Government. He has also been the Assistant Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. ••• What are the biggest issues facing Australia and how would you ﬁx them? We currently have a lot of industries experiencing staff shortages, so we need to fix the issue of unemployment by securing workers into the vacant positions we already have. I strive to encourage young people into the workforce by providing apprenticeships and whatever needed to make sure the process is comfortable. Australia needs securing more migrants to help drive the economy. How will our debt burden impact future generations?

Our economy is in a much stronger position because of sound economic management which will enable to pay down debt. The Federal Budget enabled long term investments into infrastructure, regional health, and country universities. I’m excited for the Commonwealth and to see more people look for work in regional areas. Is the two-party system broken? Not at all. You need to have the two-party structure to provide stability in the parliament. A group of like-minded individuals is important for collaboration and teamwork. There is a balance of healthy competition with various views and policies up for debate. What’s your favourite colour and why? I’d say blue, most of the shirts I own are blue. Do you have any pets? I don’t have any pets, I had a oneeyed cat that passed during the mouse plague. I have 300 cattle if you would count them as pets. How will you lobby the importance of regional health and ensure people of the Parkes electorate will not be a shadow behind metropolitan areas? We have seen a huge improvement with the rural medical school and introduction of 24 junior regional doctors in the Parkes area. There have been funds to secure junior doctors to continue work regionally by implementing training facilities. We need more doctors and health professionals in rural and regional areas, and we are definitely on our way. With everything going on in the world currently, how well do you think Australia is handling it politically? I think Australia is handling it very well. There is an increase in defence, and we are increasing our cyber security – I think we are in a strong position. Are you prepared to listen and to vouch for your people? I will always represent the Parkes election and listen to the people. Being a member since 2007 – I view it as a great privilege and never take it easy. Every election I take seriously and plan to represent the electorate as strongly as I can. What is your favourite charity and why? I have numerous charities which I support so it is difficult to pick just one. I’ve seen a lot of charities and there are a lot of unseen charities as well which I support.

BENJAMIN FOX: Informed Medical Options Party BENJAMIN Fox is the Informed Medical Options Party candidate for the Parkes Electorate. Born in Mona Vale and growing up in Parkes, Mr Fox moved to Penrith in 2000 where he met his wife and started his family. He has lived in Dubbo since 2017 and is currently working as a chef with a history in teaching. ••• What experiences and education have you had that gives you the qualiﬁcations to represent this vast federal electorate as our representative in Canberra? I have more qualifications and experience than some members of our current government, not only as a business owner and family man, but as a worker who also understands diligence, resilience, and passion. I’m no longer a teacher after being ostracised, discriminated against, and segregated from my career and community, seeing the over-reaching government implement illogical hypocritical rules and regulations. Firsthand I’ve been catapulted into hard times, and this gives me empathy and an understanding that many current politicians lack. What are the biggest issues facing Australia and how would you ﬁx them? Currently Australia is operating under a lawless corrupt government that is out of control. We need truth transparency and accountability in government. Vaccine mandates must end as they have divided community, created job loss, broken families, loss of business and caused both financial and physical stress. Mental health support, I advocate for healthy people and healthy lifestyle to combat physical and mental health. Bring back holistic health support for families and youth and increase quality nutritional and lifestyle education. How will our debt burden impact future generations? Currently the burden of overwhelming necessity of the health care system with the draconian

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH. government along with the lack of Australian manufacturing is crippling Australia. Let’s bring back Australian manufacturing, shop local, support community then create a holistic healthcare system to restore our great country. By encouraging healthy people, healthy lifestyle, healthy living we ease the health burden eliminating the need for a sickness industry. Is the two-party system broken? Yes. We need to remove the two-party stronghold and vote independent and small parties who will represent and serve the will of the people rather than the tow the party line. What’s your favourite colour and why? I like all colours but when I was younger burgundy was my favourite. I couldn’t tell you why except that I found it relaxing. Do you have any pets? Our family loves animals. We have three: a dog and two cats. All of them are rescue pets and they are part of the family. How will you lobby the importance of regional health and ensure people of the Parkes electorate will not be a shadow behind metropolitan areas? As an advocate of true health, I will lobby the government with the support of the party and ensure that a new better holistic health system is implemented addressing all health issues creating a healthier society. I’d address issues relating of inconsistent funding and changing of government, particularly the not for profit and charities organisations. With everything going on in the world currently, how well do you think Australia is handling it politically? Disastrously. There is no truth transparency and accountability in our government. The people demand and deserve better, we deserve better. Are you prepared to listen and to vouch for your people? Absolutely, I will honour respect and serve the will of the people, unlike the current members of parliament. All citizens have the right to be heard in a fair, respectful and democratic way, this is not happening now. It is a disgrace that the people are not being heard by their current members and continue to be discriminated upon with medical services, education, and employment. I am already available to listen to people either online or in person. With most states being Labor and NSW being Liberal, how do you think this will affect the federal election? I hope that the Australian people start to realise that Liberal and Labor have destroyed Australia and people start voting independent and small parties to achieve change. If we vote the same, we get the same. What is your favourite charity and why? Local small charity Tradies in Sight – Bruno Efoti, the founder is one of the most down to earth real people I know. He witnessed firsthand the devastation that unsupported mental health issues have on our community and set out to make a difference. He achieved more for our community

than any other government supported endeavour. To my knowledge he has received little to no government funding, relying on the generous support of the community and small business. I have a lot of respect for him and what he does. Filling the gap in mental health that our government has dropped the ball on.

TRISH FRAIL: The Greens TRISH Frail is The Greens candidate for the seat of Parkes in the upcoming federal election. Ms Frail recently celebrated her 60th birthday in her hometown of Brewarrina. She owns a small business specialising in native cultural food that opened amid the pandemic. •••

Candidate for The Greens, Trish Frail, at her cafe business in Brewarrina – PHOTO: SUPPLIED What experiences and education have you had that gives you the qualiﬁcations to represent this vast federal electorate as our representative in Canberra? I’m in our local council and have been involved in various community organisations throughout the years. I’m a small business owner so I understand the struggles of owning a business during this time. What are the biggest issues facing Australia and how would you ﬁx them? Climate change has always been an issue and I think it is our time to tackle it. The party and I plan to talk to farmers and communicate with them so we can work together instead of shutting them down. Health in rural and remote communities is really struggling and I plan to bring in doctors and nurses to those towns maybe two days a week initially, then increase as time goes on. Some doctors cannot commit to five days a week as they are needed in other areas, but if we make slow steps first, we can figure out ways of implementing them in the future. Women and family needs are also an issue that is barely recognised, and we need to address it more in the Parkes Electorate. How will our debt burden impact future generations? It’s going to be huge. Until we start providing a fair tax system for everybody, I don’t see it going away.

Is the two-party system broken? Basically yes – things that were set up over a century ago have not moved with the times. What’s your favourite colour and why? Mauve. I find it a very calming colour. Do you have any pets? I’m looking after my daughter’s dog, Bingo. He is a blue cattle dog and is everyone’s best friend. How will you lobby the importance of regional health and ensure people of the Parkes electorate will not be a shadow behind metropolitan areas? Small communities need doctors, chemists, and allied health professionals. We need to bring an incentive which will bring people into our region and get them to stay. Dentistry is also vital in health care but is not supported on Medicare. The Greens want to implement oral health in our Medicare policies. With everything going on in the world currently, how well do you think Australia is handling it politically? We can do things a lot better. Take a look at what is happening with the Solomon Islands, why aren’t we supporting them? We should be working to support them. The tensions between Russia and Ukraine – we should be asking ourselves what else can we do to help and bring them out of there. There are refugees all over the world, so we need to provide more attention and care. Are you prepared to listen and to vouch for your people? Yes, the people are the ones who make the country, and we can’t do this without them. With most states being Labor and NSW being Liberal, how do you think this will affect the federal election? A lot of change is definitely coming and it’s obvious that the Coalition is not listening to people with issues such as climate change and health. I think it is time for the government to really start listening to the community and not just certain suggestions or ideas. What is your favourite charity and why? My favourite charity is Greenpeace as they really care for the whales and the fish in the sea. They help endangered species and are passionate about preventing fossil fuels and support the stance of renewable energy.

PETER ROTHWELL: Liberal Democrats IN January, Peter Rothwell established a local branch of the Liberal Democrats and is the party’s candidate for the Parkes Electorate. Peter was born in Horsham, Victoria and purchased a farm in the central west in 1998. He has a property in Dubbo. ••• What experiences and education have you had that gives you the qualiﬁcations to represent this vast federal electorate as our representative in Canberra? I have no political experience, but I have always had an outside interest. I never really had an ambition to get into politics at all, but the last few years I got

Liberal Democrats candidate for Parkes, Peter Rothwell with Dubbo business owner, Danielle Malcolm. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

sick of where the National Party was heading. The Liberal Democrats formed a branch in Dubbo and the party pushed me to run for the seat of Parkes. It took a lot of thought, but I knew I was passionate enough about the issues we are facing. We have a lot of influential people in our community who are involved in the party. What are the biggest issues facing Australia and how would you ﬁx them? Government is becoming too involved in our lives and making us strongly depend on them. Government has taken away an individual’s self-achievement and turned it into their own. We need less government and to put more trust in individuals and empower them to have the courage to get out there and chase their own dreams and decide what is right for them, their families, and their communities. To try and turn that around is massive and I’m not saying it will happen overnight, but we need to stop the rot and start winding it back slowly. How will our debt burden impact future generations? The debt is a huge problem – we are well over a trillion dollars in debt. If we average it out and think of an average family of four, that is more than $166,000 per family in national debt. Looking at the two major parties, they’re both big spenders. Referring to the Federal Budget, there is no surplus in the forecast and no vision for the future. All they’ve (The Liberal Party of Australia) done is give a sugar hit to people to secure more votes. Is the two-party system broken? It is absolutely broken, in the past 10 years there has been no difference. We need politicians who are in pursuit of the truth. I heard a quote, I’m not sure from where but it says that if you’re in an argument you should never look at winning the argument and that’s what most people do – you should always be in the pursuit of the truth. The two parties are just arguing for the sake of winning and not interested in what the truth is. Democracy should work in a way where everyone is putting their ideas on the table and having discussions about those ideas in pursuit of the truth to see what is best

for our country, not to be aligned with a political line. What’s your favourite colour and why? Blue, my wife says it shows off my eyes. Do you have any pets? Yes, I’ve got two working dogs, a town dog who is very spoilt and pet sheep and cattle, but they aren’t really pets. One of my working dogs definitely does work, but the other one is more of a pet than a working dog. How will you lobby the importance of regional health and ensure people of the Parkes electorate will not be a shadow behind metropolitan areas? We need to close the gap between city and country. With dialysis machines available, the cancer centre opening, and a large office for NSW Health in Dubbo we are slowly doing that. If there is one thing I can really do something about it would be dialysis treatment in the Central West. With everything going on in the world currently, how well do you think Australia is handling it politically? I don’t have a firm opinion on that. We get 15 per cent of our fertiliser from Russia and I know a lot of contracts were torn up due to a lack of supply. If farmers can be sufficient and provide as much food as we’re used to, we will probably be fine and not experience food shortages in Australia, but they might in other parts of the world. Countries that have come out of poverty, could return to that state again. When you delve people back into poverty, it has a shocking affect on all sorts of things. If you create wealth, people won’t be concerned about where their next meal is coming from and give more attention to other things, like the environment. We have to have these discussions in the pursuit of truth and flesh them out. We as individuals can’t possibly come to the right decision, but by thousands of us having a conversation in the public arena, we can find a resolution. There are always knee jerk reactions to making policies with not a lot of thought going into them. With most states being Labor and NSW being Liberal, how do you think this will affect the federal election? Labor will be the next government, but what does that mean? Not much, they’re both similar. Are you prepared to listen and to vouch for your people? I’ve got a massive soft spot for small business owners. They put everything out their and risk themselves – it’s so brave. I like to follow brave people and see where they go. What is your favourite charity and why? This will be a bit different, it’s not a charity, but individual people in the community. People who volunteer their time to help that community and do it without any fan fair, no show and without a platform. People who dedicate themselves from the goodness of their heart.

Funds needed to secure more homes By TIJANA BIRDJAN MACQUARIE Home Stay is a unique environment providing affordable accommodation when people need to come to Dubbo to seek specialist medical treatment. The apolitical space encompasses the need for temporary housing solutions for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or location. The current facility has 17 units to levitate the pressure of people seeking commercial accommodation or daily travels when they are arriving for their treatment. Operational manager Rod Crowfoot said the first stage was initially established in 2019 and that helped consolidate their market and the importance of the facility. Having more than eight acres of land, Mr Crowfoot developed an application in hopes to receive funding from the Federal Government to secure an additional 45 units. “We are the only facility like this in NSW where we aren’t specific to medical treatments,” he continued, saying guests are charged between $40$50 a night to stay in the centre. Mr Crowfoot explained that with the opening of the new Western Cancer Centre, patients are seeking treatment from all over NSW, including Moree Plains, Tamworth, and Broken Hill, and said many are not able to afford to stay in commercial motels throughout the duration of their treatment. “I have people tell me that they can’t come down for their treatments, unless they are able to stay with us,” he said of the disheartening experience, explaining he has only had one free unit for one night in the past three weeks.

He said the facility is at maximum capacity and he must turn away eight people a day as there are no units free. “We’ve had to ask people to leave because their treatments went on for longer than expected, but we needed their rooms for other patients. “(If successful) this application gives us the ability to build 26 units specifically for oncology support, 14 general units and five family units,” he continued, saying there is an immediate need for supported accommodation. Mr Crowfoot told Dubbo Photo News that patients make their decisions on treatment dependant if they are guaranteed accommodation at Macquarie Homestay. He shared the tragic reality of people having to sleep in their cars during their treatment process as they cannot afford commercial accommodation, and provided the example of people travelling

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

back and forth to Mudgee daily because they cannot afford accommodation but can afford the travel substitute. People who book in advance are secured, however those needing emergency services for accidents, intensive care, and patients from the Royal Flying Doctor Service are not guaranteed a place. “Being a not-for-profit charity, we are prepared to provide $1m toward the funding through sponsorships and donations,” he said, adding that there is only so much locals can do to raise money and that they are relying heavily on state and federal funding. “It’s all good and well for us to have the best (medical) facilities in the region, but if patients are not going to come and use them and we have all these vacancies then what is the point of having (those services),” he told Dubbo Photo News. Mr Crowfoot shared a

conversation he had with a representative of the Western Cancer Centre who said the facility will perform 490 treatments a year, with a large percentage of patients having to travel over a certain distance. “It’s always a real challenge to say no to guests and patients, but we cannot facilitate them. “Getting this up is important to us, not only for the guests staying for the time being, but for the region and the quality of treatments,” he continued, saying he and his team are confident in the service they provide to create a safe environment for everyone. “Geographically we’re a massive patch – a third of NSW come to Dubbo for their specialist medical treatments." Mr Crowfoot reassured Dubbo Photo News he is confident about understanding his guests' needs and people’s expectations of the facility. From the gardeners to

housekeepers, everyone has a place at Macquarie Homestay, and he makes sure to hire staff to fill an important void in the community. “We employed a girl with Down Syndrome as a housekeeper and for her to wear a shirt and earn money. “We understand that we are a part of a niche, but we’re an important niche that is needed – or will be needed – by almost everyone,” Mr Crowfoot explained. Australian Labor Party Candidate for the Parkes electorate, Jack Ayoub, said the facility provides access to health across the region. “There are so many people who rely on affordable accommodation, and this will provide more people with the accessibility,” Mr Ayoub continued, saying he will lobby the investment strategy to his party as there is a huge community support towards the facility. “Rod and his team are prepared to take the debt on themselves and that in itself is significant,” he said, adding that politics shouldn’t matter in these instances, and that the Homestay facility encompasses Australian values and so he will present the idea to Labor. A guest at Macquarie Homestay, Barry Ross, has been staying at the facility for 34 days and he says the accommodation is great. Coming from Parkes, he shared it is not viable to drive every day for his treatments, and he feels comfortable at the facility. “Rod is doing a terrific job, they look after everyone,” he continued, saying they look after cancer patients, women with babies and children, and their husbands. “Everyone is welcome – not many places do that.”

Flying doc’s funds up and away in the west

RESIDENTS across the western region will benefit from the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) receiving $400,000 from the federal government to implement a primary care model in Bourke, Brewarrina and Walgett. Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said the funding will help to research, develop, and co-design a multidisciplinary model of care to better service patients in these areas. “The (RFDS) will work with local communities and health professionals to develop long-term solutions to plug gaps in primary care services for the benefit of patients and their families living here,” Mr Coulton said. Federal Regional Health Minister Dr David Gillespie said the funding delivered through the Primary Care Rural Innovative Multidisciplinary Models grant program ensures communities have diverse health care needs. “As a doctor who practiced medicine in regional Australia for many years, I know that communities can have diverse health care needs and face different challenges,” Dr Gillespie said.

Critical connection in the country

DUBBO residents are well aware that travelling in between towns can pose multiple connectivity and telecommunication issues. In the lead-up to the May 21 federal election, Labor has announced a plan to boost mobile coverage and connectivity in regional Australia, with the party’s candidate for Parkes Jack Ayoub saying rural areas have “coped with subpar connections for too long”. “Connectivity is essential, and it is vital to us in the regions to have access to education, health, and commerce. If we want people to move to our regions and for our young people to stay here, connectivity is critical,” Mr Ayoub said, The opposition proposes to establish a five-year $400m fund to expand multi-carrier mobile coverage along roads, homes and businesses. “We know that if you go to the outskirts of many of our regional communities, connectivity in non-existent,” he said. “I was horrified to read about Mr Alex Balhausen’s utterly shocking accident on a farm just outside of Narromine. He was forced to drive himself to find help with a fractured skull, broken ribs, and a punctured lung – all because he had no phone signal,” Mr Ayoub recounted.

with Aaron Hill

Five classics for school holidays this is exciting. You got characters lik a construction guy, Batman, like a unicorn kitten, tons and tons of pop culture characters, it’s a great film

By AARON HILL

1. How to train your Dragon As a kid, I always watched this film a lot. It’s a beautiful movie about a small viking and a dragon, with tons of amazing moments, and I can suggest this movie to audiences of all ages

2. Ratatouille This movie is filled to the brim with satisfying cooking moments, even if a rat is the chef. This is the movie that really makes you want to cook some brilliant meals

3. The Lego Movie We all love Lego, and having seeing

4. Pokemon: Detective 4 P Pikachu Pokemon is a fascinating world, Pokem and also has a talking Pikachu who’s voiced by Ryan Reynolds, and it’s really the cutest Pokemon movie I’ve seen

5. Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse Spider-Man is the best Marvel superhero, and this is the best Spider-Man comic book movie ever. All of this is made just like a comic book, and I can’t wait for more Spider-Verse action *Aaron Hill is a local Dubbo film-buff.

IN FOCUS THE THUMBS

tionist / admin lady for excellent service when requesting information regarding school bus timetables and general bus timetables – nothing was too difficult for her including applying for school bus pass for a parent.

Thumbs Up to Ken Madden for excellent prompt service for collecting and installing a new kitchen appliance much appreciated.

Thumbs Up to George Chapman of Australian Red Cross on the unveiling of the new signage indicating locations of the new Dubbo Automated external deﬁbrillators, former Yellow Wiggle Greg Page, Colin Shanks of Dubbo West Rotary Club and Ken Smith of Dubbo Photo News together with the other wonderful media people for being in attendance for the unveiling of the machines.

Thumbs Up to Rotary and everyone involved in the Science and Engineering Challenge for school students across the region. It is such a fantastic event and a great opportunity for the students to immerse themselves in the practicalities of engineering. We have a signiﬁcant and ongoing shortage of engineers, so programs like this I feel really do help inspire the next generation of engineers.

Thumbs Up and thank you to the Mower Man who came out to my house to fix my ride on, and didn’t charge an arm and a leg, I appreciate that I didn’t have to load it up and bring it into town. They were very flexible time-wise for me. Cody definitely knows what he’s doing thanks again.

Thumbs Up to Courtney at Spotlight for the excellent job she is doing in the dress fabric department, the ﬁxtures are very tidy and stock

easy to ﬁnd, it’s a pleasure to browse around the area.

Thumbs Down to Dubbo Regional Council. No-one seems to know anything about a lot of parking spots that will disappear out the front of the (Sheraton Road) schools where we’ve always been able to drop the kids off. Council workers have already started on the job and it’s a mess, as well as being dangerous for everyone concerned.

Thumbs Up to Matt Freeth of Matt Diamond plumbing for prompt excellent service.

Thumbs Down to the person who poisoned my dog in my backyard in North Dubbo.

Jocelyn's big birthday - 101 not out WE here at Dubbo Photo News are delighted to be able to share with our readers the best of good news stories, sent to us by the team at Dubbo Homestead Care Community who recently celebrated the significant birthday of one of their "most beloved residents". Jocelyn Poett clicked over 101 years and her friends and family and the Homestead Care's team members

were honoured to be able to celebrate with her on Friday, April 8. Joining Jocelyn on her special day were family members Kathy, Robert and Sue. "What a milestone to be celebrated," said Homestead Care Community's team, and we couldn't agree more. The happiest of birthday wishes to you, Jocelyn, from all here at Dubbo Photo News and our readers.

Thumbs Down to unwarranted verbal abuse. I’m elderly and was walking to the shops near somone’s house and I’ve never in my life copped the sort of abuse she gave me for daring to park in the public car park on the street in front of her home – a car park that as a ratepayer and taxpayer of many years I’m just as entitled to use as anyone else.

SURF'S UP!

& Thumbs Up to Dubbo Buslines’ recep-

YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR NEWS, YOUR OPINION & FEEDBACK

Thumbs Up to the newly completed traffic lights and roadworks at the intersection of Fitzroy Street and Cobra Street. We were driving through the intersection this week and noticed how much easier traffic seems to be ﬂowing there now, compared to the previous roundabout. The big, wide road is a big improvement. The new traffic lights in West Dubbo, at the Victoria/Whylandra Streets intersection, are also a great improvement although we urge the roads people to increase the time the lights stay green for vehicles travelling along Victoria Street – a few times now we’ve seen only half a dozen cars being able to get through before the lights turn red again.

PHOTOGRAPHER Steve Cowley was mesmerised by the skill of this accomplished surfer, who pitted his wits and expertise against some equally impressive waves off Avoca Beach on the Central Coast recently. Steve’s skill with the lens is equally impressive, we reckon.

That’s all, folks! Story and photos by KEN SMITH

IT’S hard to write these words, to attempt to speak on behalf of a whole lot of locals and visitors and it’s simply impossible to convey the joy, the laughter, the smiles and now the memories that was a visit to Westview Drive-in. Westview Drive-in is a tale of three parts, a trilogy if you like and it’s a story worthy of its own book and mini-series. The history books tell us that The Westview Drive-In opened on the 8th October 1970 at the corner of Mitchell Highway and Westview Street. The opening film was Clint Eastwood in Kelly’s Heroes and the drive-in could accommodate 550 cars. Closing in 1987, it sat patiently with a for sale sign out front for many years, until 2017. Many locals will tell of driving past over the years and answering their children’s questions as to what was there, with the biggest screen in the west drawing most of the questions. I have been incredibly fortunate to have been ‘a bit player’ in what is dubbed ‘Westview Drive-in...... The Sequel 2017 – 2022’. Wandering around the drive-in with Jason Yelverton, amongst the

Karen-Lea Delaney and Faye Wheeler

infamous cat-heads and weeds and grabbing those first photos of our once legendary drive-in was a late afternoon that I will never forget. It had seen better days, but listening to Jason speak of the Youth Week plans, opened a floodgate of memories from many years before and an excitement that this was going to be something very special. Special? It was certainly more than that. There are many stories to be told and perhaps one day they will. One story that needs to be told is the very early days of Westview Drive-in and the vision and drive of Rex Bartel, who many knew, along with the many locals who worked with him over those early years. Finally, credit must be given and the person, who deserves it, will put a long list of people in front of what he and his family, workers and volunteers have achieved. Who would have thought it possible? The unlikely return of the Westview Drive-in re energised the city, with many visitors spending an extra night simply to go to the drivein and generations of locals finally understanding the esteem that previous generations had, when they spoke fondly of a visit to Westview Drive-in.

Students strive in science By TIJANA BIRDJAN Photos by KEN SMITH THE Rotary Youth Science and Engineering Challenge (RYSEC) returned recently to Dubbo for another year in conjunction with the University of Newcastle to encourage students to learn about STEM. Team leader from the University of Newcastle, Abby Hodges, said the aim of the program is to educate students about science and engineering outside the classroom. “We want to showcase to students that what they learn through the challenge can be applied to real life and how it can be applied to their future careers,” Abby said. The partnership between the university and Dubbo’s rotary clubs is well established with hopes of inspiring Dubbo and regional town students to study science, maths, technology, and engineering in their later years of high school, according to Abby. There are eight activities throughout the day to enhance scientific education including constructing small replicas of Mars' rovers, writing findings, connecting transportation networks and other informative activities. Abby told Dubbo Photo News that through the partnership with the university, students are able to experience the opportunity in STEM and imagine their findings in daily usage: “Students can achieve anything that they put their minds to," she said. St Mary’s Catholic School student, Sebastian Hawkins and his group were participating in an activity to represent the power of electricity and resistance. “We need to connect all of these cables to the 25 buildings,” he continued, saying the activity was challenging as it needed to keep the power. “We’re learning about how resistance works and how electricity is transferred through the cables,” he expressed. Mudgee High School student, Will Treeve and his group were allocated to make a “Mars Rover” from plastic and rubber bands which would hold a weighted object. Will told Dubbo Photo News the aim of the project was to move the rover holding the object along the bumpy track. “It’s really difficult,” Will said, adding that it took him and his teammates a while to understand how to construct the transportation device, however they learnt how to communicate their ideas. “I’m really excited for today and

to experience new projects,” he explained that he has learnt significantly during the day. Participating in the same activity, Dubbo South Campus student, Declan McGregor said his team found the time allocated was too short to get comfortable using the materials. “We learnt that time is a huge indicator and with only 40 minutes allocated – you can’t get a lot done,” he continued, adding that they've learnt to work efficiently throughout the project and were looking forward to the future experiments they were enduring. With the mixture of schools from Dubbo and surrounding areas, students are provided with the opportunity to make connections outside their school district. Declan said he met a lot of people through the collaboration. St John’s College student, Hugh Bevan explained that his group were instructed to design a route from strings that signifies a transportation network. Hugh told Dubbo Photo News the task required the group to use string to try and stay on the path. With a lack of funding in regional and rural school in science and technology, the RYSEC has developed students’ understanding and appreciation for science-based learning.

VOLUNTEER OF KRISTY HUBBARD ORANA PHYSICAL CULTURE THE MONTH

Kristy helps “Physie” thrive in Dubbo If you want something done, ask a busy person. Mum of four, Kristy Hubbard, fits that bill and despite a full life-schedule she makes time to volunteer for Orana Physical Culture, Dubbo. The club honoured her at the end of 2021 as Club Person of the Year for a long list of worthwhile reasons which are testament to her passion for the sport of physical culture. Dubbo Photo News caught up with Kristy to ask about her role. ••• What is Orana Physical Culture? ‘Physie’ is a fusion of different dance styles to popular music designed to increase strength, fitness and flexibility. Each age group learns 5 different routines and girls and ladies can go on and compete against others their own age from other clubs right around the country. BJP Physie has been going in Australia for 129 years and has evolved over the years to continue to inspire generations. Orana club is one of 130 clubs nation-wide and was formed in 2018. We currently have approx. 100 members

ranging from pre-schoolers to ladies and 6 teachers in total.

What motivated you to volunteer for the club and how long have you been doing it? I’m passionate about the girls having fun first and foremost but love to see them grow and develop with positive body image, confidence, body coordination and the friendships formed.

right through to our ladies.

just as vital.

How important are volunteers to the running of club?

What’s the most challenging aspect to it?

As a not-for-profit club, many hands make light work. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing volunteer committee to cover all the many and varied behind the scenes jobs that are equally as important.

The mixture of abilities, personal goals and varying personalities can be challenging but also just as rewarding.

What do you love about your What roles do you have as a volun- volunteering? Definitely seeing the hard work, we all teer with the club? I currently teach the 5 to 10 years but also love helping with our other age groups from the sparkles pre-schoolers

put in pay off. The results at competitions is obviously one thing but the fun and the fitness and the friendships are

If you were encouraging someone to volunteer in any capacity, what would you tell them are the greatest rewards? All sporting organisations need volunteers to fill all the critical roles to function. It’s so amazing to make a difference to people, to see the joy it brings and the physical benefits.

Is there anything else you’d like to add? I’m just so thankful for my very supportive family. I am lucky to have this opportunity to be able to teach the juniors all the fundamentals of Physie and all the lifelong benefits it has to offer and to make it positive, empowering and fun for all the girls. I’m so proud of our beautiful Orana Physie community – the committee, my co teachers (Mia, Sophie, Sarah, Jaimee, Sarah and Rhi) the parents and our members. I’m so proud to stand with you and share this journey together.

THERE’S nothing like a round of well loved ABBA tunes to get the toes a-tappin’ and so it was for fans of arguably the world’s best loved Super Troupers when famed tribute outfit, Bjorn Again hit the stage of the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) recently. The Bjorn Again Mamma Mia tour saw patrons flock to the DRTCC for a fun runthrough of the Swedish super group’s much loved catalogue, and a chance to say “Thank you for the music!”

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 A honey badger named Stoffel, resident of a wildlife centre in South Africa, was noted not just for repeated escapes from his enclosure, but his stubborn penchant for pursuing much larger animals than himself. After ending up in the clinic after attacking two lions, upon his release, he immediately broke free to attack them again! z Not everything is as it seems. The popular US breakfast cereal Honey Nut Cheerios doesn’t contain any nuts. While ground almonds used to be included, since 2006 just “natural almond ﬂavour” has been used, and that is typically derived from apricot and peach pits. z An estimated 5 per cent of the population has never experienced a headache.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION

z Robert Pirsig’s “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” holds the world record for being the most-often rejected book to later become a bestseller, with a whopping 121 refusals before a publisher ﬁnally agreed to buy it. z Who needs Red Bull? In the early 1900s, distance runners were given champagne, brandy or even strychnine (rat poison) as a type of “energy drink” during long races. z On the moon, the Earth doesn’t appear to rise or set, just wobble a bit. z During these dark days for Ukraine, there are some lighter stories to tell about the people of that stoic nation. A Ukrainian couple tried to save their failing relationship by handcuffing themselves together. They lasted about four months before throwing in the towel for good.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

z A garden manicure is what my mother calls it: When working with plants and dirt, rake your nails across a bar of soap. The soap prevents dirt particles from lodging under nails, and the soap washes away easily when you are ﬁnished. Happy Gardening! – JoAnn z “If you have a spade with a long handle, you can transfer common measurements to the handle. Just lay a tape measure alongside the handle, and use a black marker to note common spacing, like centimetres, metres, feet and inches. Then, when you put in plants, you can check quickly whether they are spaced correctly. Very handy!” – P.E. z “Garden tool storage doesn’t have to be hard. Fill a wide mouth bucket with clean sand. Add a

half quart or motor oil and stir. Then use the sand to clean and store your garden tools like shovels, rakes or hoes. The sand/oil mixture helps clean the metal surfaces, and the heaviness of the container lets you stick them in the sand without fear of everything falling down, like it would if you leaned them along a wall.” – E.N.C. z Here’s a recipe for a quickie bird feeder or bath: Flip over a nice-size ﬂower pot, and place the pot’s tray on the top. Fill with seed or water. The birds will thank you – maybe even by eating some nuisance bugs along with the seed. z If the string on your trimmer is always breaking or jamming, try this old trick: Give the coiled string a spray with vegetable oil before you thread it. It lubricates the line, making it less likely to pull and less likely to break.

Jets did it for Bob By GEOFF MANN NARROMINE has had a proud history, one of the pioneers of Group XI in 1946 and the single-most winningest club until the 1990s. This year the Jets have joined the Castlereagh League and celebrated a hard-fought win in the annual knockout played in sometimes driving rain at Gilgandra last Saturday. The Jets had come together on Friday to farewell the legendary Bob Weir and showed the toughness and determination the great man had demonstrated in his thirty-odd years playing along with a lifetime of involvement with his beloved Narromine Club. The Jets defeated Cobar Roosters, both former Group 11 clubs, in the grand final. The final score was 8-6 after a second period of golden point extra time. Triumphant Jets: Back, Nigel Jones, Jarrod Hennessy, Jordan Richardson, Michael Burns, Washington Itoya, Alex Sambrook, Osea Balemansoso, George Clarke, Tony Mann, front, Wayage Neyaupa, Ratu Roko, Robert Burns, Chase Clarke, Jahrryd Usher, PJ Stanton, Alexander Marr, Sam Gainsford, Doug Potter, Luke Thompson.

Sea Eagle plucks Ducks By GEOFF MANN NORM Bahr broke his run of ‘breaks’ on Sunday morning to pinch a prized medal from the pool. The strong former big surf swimmer finally scored a win and it was a “biggie”, the final of the 50 metre Freestyle. Jacob Pearce touched in BC second ahead of Andrew Schloeffel, Josh Bird and Nicole Johnstone. The bad luck story of the morning went to Glen Smith and Rob Rich who broke in the final of the 2 x 50 metre Freestyle/Freestyle brace relay. “Richly deserved too after Richie’s blatant display of foxing,” according to Judy Walsh. Jacob Pearce and Rob Everett picked up the points in the Relay; Judy was closest to time in the 25 metre Backstroke (0.21) from Mark Scullard (0.55) and Mark Prentice (0.52) took out the closest to time 25 metre Breaststroke, from Jacob Pearce (0.55) and Josh Bird (0.78). Roger Mackay made his long-awaited return to the poll. “Just in time for three 50s,” he laughed!

Summer season of Touch wraps up By GEOFF MANN

THE grand finals of the Men’s Opens bookended a week of play off matches that involved seven grades of Mixed as well as the four played on Wednesday night. Family and friends lined the sidelines to cheer on their teams and many of the parents of the juniors who had just completed their matches stayed on to maintain the enthusiasm. Dubbo Touch is now entering its fifth decade and it’s incredible to witness the turnaround from a Sunday morning, barefoot, ‘tackle with touches’ game into a fully-fledged sport. President Neil Webster has been with Touch since its inception in the city. ‘We’ve seen lots of changes over the years but the spirit of fun and family friendships remain. We try to cater for all lev- McCut Tiling. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED els of fitness and skill. It is fantastic when people ‘graduate’ to the next grade from one season to the next.” Neil is also one of a number of players selected in NSW State of origin squads.

Silver paddles from Adelaide trip

By GEOFF MANN IN a superb performance the Western crew pulled off an incredible set of races to finish second at the Dragon Boat Nationals over the weekend. Team manager Rhonda Betts says paddling their way into the silver medal position in the Opens was very pleasing. “It is the result of an in-

credibly dedicated crew who set some goals and went for it. After drought, Covid then flooded rivers, it is a tribute to our resilience. There is plenty of talent in the boat, years of friendship – an amazing sense of friendship. “Our will to win was built around enjoying each other’s company and has been developed over many years.”

By GEOFF MANN WESTERN Division rugby league clubs have been arguing over which is the stronger Group for decades. Last weekend in the official start of the Peter McDonald Cup, the ‘Easterners’ claimed early bragging rights. After Mudgee downed Dubbo Macquarie 34-26 in the curtain-raiser to Manly and Canberra the previous weekend, Orange CYMS travelled to Nyngan and just squeaked home

with an extra goal in an as tough as you like match against the locals. Orange Hawks upset last year’s Group XI ladder leaders Dubbo CYMS 24-22, Bathurst St Pats overcame a 16-0 deficit to beat Parkes 30-20, Bathurst Panthers outpointed the reigning Group XI Premiers Wellington 32-12 while Cowra won their Group 10 derby, 32 -14 over Lithgow. The pride and passion and the intensity of the contests suggest this will be a very keenly contested new addition to the local league calendar.

Aces will be going places By TIJANA BIRDJAN

Narromine athletes excel at Nationals LAST week we brought news of some fabulous performances by Dubbo Athletics Club members at the National Championships in Sydney. This week we recap the outstanding efforts of a couple of youngsters from Narromine. Emma Edwards from Trangie Central School claimed fifth place in Australia in the Under 17s Shot Put. Zac finished with silver medals in the U15 Boys Para Shot Put and was fourth in the 200m and fifth in the 400m. Blake Harding leaped into 14th in the U20 Men’s Long Jump. Another honour for a very talented all-round sportsman.

ARRIVING fresh to Dubbo, Aces played their first game together on Monday night at Dubbo Sports world. Belle Corbett, Olivia Job, and Hannah Taylor arrived in Dubbo in January and created a social netball team to introduce themselves around town. Having played netball in Sydney for the past six years, Hannah said she is looking forward to playing in Dubbo. “It’s a great way to meet new people,” Hannah said. The collaborative team members were switching positions during the game making sure to give everyone an opportunity in their desired position. Throughout the game, the women showcased teamwork and their ability to progress.

Vale Neil Miller

NEXT week, we will pay tribute to a Wellington sportsman who represented the town in league, union, swimming, bowls and golf as well as life in general. Neil Miller was one of life’s much-loved characters.

THE rain threatened but stayed away long enough for us to enjoy the wonderful all-weather greens. Bryan O’Sullivan (Skip), Dave Davis and Cheryl Storch v John Davis, Leo Balstrad and Gordon Lummis. Bryan’s team began quite strongly, putting together a 5 shot end at 3, however there were some good gains in ensuing skirmishes which saw John’s boys a seven-shot lead after 11. In a terrific back-and-fro with some

massive swings, Leo ‘Flash-balls’, Gordon and John won 19 to 15 to upset Sully’s 56 per cent winning skip record. Col Cottee (89 per cent), Helene Emblam and Allan Stratford (100 per cent as a ‘second’ player) put their reputations on the line against Greg Brown, Ron McAuley and Steve Kelly. Despite a slow start, Col’s team grabbed the mat and never let go to win 17 to 12. Sue McAuley, Gary Huggins and skipper Col Dover put eight shots on Shirley Marchant, Mel

“State, State, State” The chant as the Wolfpack roared again By GEOFF MANN The Wolf cry goes up!

ST Mary’s, Wellington, has retained the title as the toughest and most talented ‘Touchies’ in the west. ‘State, State, State” echoed around the Waratah playing fields in Orange last week after the Year 7-8 Girls St Mary’s Wolf Pack won their grand final and the right to represent western NSW at the NSW Championships in Sydney. Sports Coordinator Alistaire Thompson has done an incredible job over the last decade, taking one of the smallest schools to the top of the tree in Touch. “We only had nine players as Covid ripped through the school so the players had to dig deep and play extra minutes. It was a huge day of highpaced Touch in hot conditions not normally seen in Orange,” Alistaire told Dubbo Photo News.

“After Covid, which has impacted all of our communities, and extreme weather conditions it was excellent to see all the kids back out representing their schools and having fun.” The St Mary’s Wolf Pack moved through their pool with wins over Orange Canobolas High (9-1), St Matthews Mudgee (4-0), Parkes Christian School (10-0), Cobar High School (10-0) and James Sheahan Orange (5-1). The Pack then moved into the finals, accounting for Mudgee High 7-0 in the quarter final and St Matthews 4-0 in the semi-final to set up a showdown with James Sheahan, Orange, in the grand final. James Sheahan, one of the largest cohorts in the region, took first blood, scoring first with an excellent set play, but that only woke the visitors. The Wolf Pack hunted the ball downfield and hit back straight

away. They kept chomping away, gained control and came out winners by 6-2. “Only having nine players for the day mixed up our sub-rotations a bit but our senior players took on the challenge displaying excellent leadership and putting their hands up to do the extra work. Every player crossed the line for tries during the carnival and everyone knew their role and what they needed to do for their team,” Alistaire explained. “Effort and hard work is what it comes down to as we have been preparing for this carnival all year. Our girls have been putting in big hours after school to train. State was the goal and the only way to get there was hard work and the girls have accomplished this with great commitment, leadership and resiliency,” the proud coach added. “Bring on State!”
