THE POWER OF CONVERSATIONS FOR VETERANS

Brigette and Luke Glynn are two of the local veterans fundraising to set up a support cottage for others who served and may be struggling with mental health issues. They said that sharing their story and having an open and honest conversation with Dubbo Photo News last Anzac Day has changed their lives. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/STEVE COWLEY

By JOHN RYAN BRIGETTE Glynn is, literally, a different person to the lady I first spoke to just before Anzac Day last year.

While she had good memories from her time in uniform, she’d also experienced trauma sufficient to see her diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), an ailment which sapped her confidence in herself.

When husband Luke, also a veteran, initially contacted Dubbo Photo News it was to make a comment about how Anzac Day was portrayed in the media, and during that conversation he agreed to tell his story, and Brigette came along and shared hers as well.

She said she was incredibly fearful at how her story was going to be portrayed, taking an incredible leap of faith entrusting her soul to the local newspaper.

“It was huge, huge, I was so scared to the point of not sleep-

ing before it came out, and the biggest fear was of being ridiculed, of people reading it and going, ‘Oh, she’s just after sympathy,’ and that type of thing,” Mrs Glynn revealed.

She believes that fear of being publicly shamed was a huge weight on the minds of so many people who’d served in the Australian military, people who were worried that while they’d tried to do their best, others would view their contributions in an unsympathetic light.

“One hundred per cent, it is probably one of the biggest things that you are worried about because when you’re in the military, even if you have a common cold and go to the medical centre, it’s frowned upon and people automatically think you’re malingering, that you’re faking it. So in order to come out and do that, or to come out and say anything to anyone about your concerns and fears, you’re 100 per cent think-

ing that people aren’t going to believe you.”

When the article came out, she couldn’t believe how much the reactions from locals sparked positive conversations, eventually helping to restore her confidence.

“It was huge, the article opened up the conversations that made me feel like I had served, so I joined the RSL Sub-Branch and I spoke with some of the other veterans and they were so welcoming,” she said.

“I then joined the Air Force cadets as staff, so it made me take that huge leap of faith to go back into a system that’s very similar to the military and I wasn’t as fearful of it as I used to be.”

Husband Luke agrees that opening up, for many, is an incredibly difficult and torturous first step.

“Telling my story to Dubbo Photo News, when it was published it made it easier for me to open up,” he said.

“Even when talking to my own clients, I’m now able to explain my situation and my story without the judgement that’s involved in any of these kinds of things – that’s the biggest fear I guess for any veteran, the judgement that comes with your story and by having it out there.

“People actually said, ‘I didn’t realise that you actually did that, I didn’t realise that was an actual thing.’ It makes you open up a conversation and that’s probably the biggest benefit for most people – being actually able to have the confidence to open a conversation.”

He said so many people read the story and wanted to show they supported him. His story in Dubbo Photo News gave others the inclination to talk about it with Luke and find out more about his story – many people were even interested in the stories behind his various tattoos which were pictured with the article, Luke said.

“(The tattoos) have been a big conversation starter because all of a sudden people were saying they’d seen them in Dubbo Photo News and they’d ask me to tell them more. When I start to explain our story to people, they then realise there’s a lot involved, and because I’m so passionate about (being a veteran), that gave me the confidence to actually talk about what’s going on my life,” he said.

Prior to the story, Luke said the couple were so lucky to have found each other, not least for the mutual support, but they had a real sense – on a daily basis – that it was them against the world.

He said finding not just likemined veterans who served, but also people in general who read the story and are very empathetic towards their sacrifices and respectful of their service, has been a gamechanger when it comes to happiness.

Soundtrack through Shoyoen Gardens

By TIJANA BIRDJAN COMBINING nature and cultural appreciation with new forms of technology, the Shoyoen Japanese Gardens has a new interactive feature enhancing the next visit.

There will be QR codes at the entrance of the gardens enabling people to scan and interact.

The voice of the Shoyoen Sound Walk app, Emily Phimmachanh walks you through the origins of nature and how vital the gardens are to the Dubbo community.

Music composer, Georgie Saunders said she wanted to create an atmosphere alongside Emily’s voice to encompass each aspect of the gardens.

“You can hear the breeze hitting the trees through the flute,” she continued, saying that each element is represented through the composition, including the earth, stones and pebbles and the water.

She addressed that the music was inspired by the garden itself and added that “when you walk it is almost like it is a living and breathing organism, which it is”.

When being asked to work on the project, Georgie gravitated towards taiko drums, taiko sticks and a Japanese flute called Shinobue.

Georgie records her practice pieces as she does not know if she will need them again, saying she recorded a lot of random pieces and managed to find a “golden gem” of a drum hitting that she loved.

“I mashed the random pieces to-

gether by putting them in different spots of overlaying them,” she added, saying that she has never composed professionally before.

Using the platform Garage Band, she practised using their formulation of loops and adding

in her vocals.

“Whether I’m singing or playing the drums, I like to make a composition with whatever I can to create an atmosphere,” Georgie shared.

She explained she wanted peo-

ple to hear active heartbeats drawn through the plants and animals to produce the soundtrack.

“Everything works together to make this environment, and I wanted that to be heard,” Georgie expressed.

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

WANTED PRO BONEO DEFENCE COUNSEL “GUILTY. Beyond a reasonable doubt.”

That was the headline used by well-known local silk and former Dubbo mayor Stephen Lawrence when he accused the family pet of aggravated damages, without a shred of evidence to support his accusations.

Flippy the dog is now looking for a half-decent “pro-boneo” legal eagle to defend him in the case against his owner, whom The Flipster alleges is a litigation-happy barrister.

Dogshot supplied.

The power of conversations for veterans From page 1 “It gives you a lot of... I keep using the word confidence. Brigette and I have been very lucky to have each other to fall back on, but we now call others within our community, especially members within the Sub-Branch,” Mr Glynn said. “(The longer-term RSL members) have been more than supportive and loving, they’re becoming our surrogate grandparents, our older brothers, our fathers, mothers, our family, and that allows us to have that confidence to have those discussions we need to have – and we know that if we have troubles, somebody’s going to be there.”

Luke said he now understands just how many people are in the same situation he was a year ago, and that’s created the drive to help.

Along with Brigette, he’s determined to do whatever he can to ensure the veterans’ support cottage being set up by the Dubbo Sub-Branch will help to engage some of those who are suffer-

ing, with about two-thirds of local veterans not engaged with the organisation – many disaffected vets see it as part of the ‘establishment’ which let them down.

“We have a lot of veterans within this community that just don’t want to come to an RSL. We’re hoping that with the cottage they will feel welcome, that they’ll feel like they can come back into the circle, and we’re hoping that’s what this cottage is all about, have a coffee, sit down, not be judged, say what you want to say,” he said.

He’s not only incredibly proud of how Brigette has blossomed personally, he’s over the moon by the way she’s working overtime to support other vets who may be struggling.

“Brigette’s come leaps and bounds in 12 months and it makes you proud to be associated with her. I’m proud of the work that she’s doing at her job, and the love and support that she gets through the Sub-Branch is just amazing, but we want that to extend to everybody who needs it,”

he said, talking about the Salute to Service Ball that Brigette is helping to organise.

She takes up the story.

“I thought this is the perfect opportunity to use some skills which I did learn while I was in the Army. I used to run our yearly balls, I always got put on the committees, so it was something that I knew how to do. I popped my hand up and I’ve been fully supported the whole way through,” she said.

“I feel more part of the community than I ever have, I feel valued by the guys at the RSL. What I’m doing lifts me up and it’s also boosted my confidence hugely.”

She said her traumatic experiences had basically locked her out mentally from being part of the community and that without that physical social interaction, life can be very lonely. Now she’s keen to pass her recent experiences on to other vets and help them to regain their trust in their fellow humans.

“Take that step. It’s huge but, as hard as what it is, you will feel as

P: 0403 673 837 www.foreverelectrical.com.au Licence number 368881C

if you’re back in the service and so supported.

“It’ll feel like you’re back home.

That’s how it feels for me when I go to the Sub-Branch meetings or a catch-up with the ‘boys’ – I am 100 per cent feeling like I’m back in,” she said.

“There are no words to say how glad I am, I’m so glad that Luke put it out there and that we did it, it’s made my confidence 100 per cent better, it’s helped me at work, with everything – to be honest, it’s helped me to feel like ‘me’ again, a happy person again.”

Luke hopes the ball will become an integral part of the annual local calendar and believes plenty of Dubbo residents will welcome the chance to say ‘thanks’ to those who’ve served.

“I think for every defence member, you give up your life as who you are and become a person dedicated to the betterment of Australia. We all defend the flag, we all stand by that flag, and it’s nice when people actually say ‘thankyou’, even if we get embarrassed by that.”

Fuel price drop brings relief for drivers

By STEPH ALLEN JUST a month after bowsers across NSW reached record high prices, a drastic drop in prices has given some reprieve to Central West motorists.

On March 21, the average price for unleaded and diesel in Dubbo was 209.6 and 228.7 per litre respectively.

On April 19, prices had dropped by around 55.4 cents per litre for unleaded and 42.0 for diesel.

According to NSW Government’s Fuel Check, the cheapest price for unleaded fuel in Dubbo was at United Petroleum Dubbo and Mobil Dubbo at 154.2 cents per litre, followed by 158.7 at United Dubbo East.

The most expensive place to fuel up in Dubbo was at BP Dubbo – 175.9 for unleaded.

In Narromine, the cheapest place for fuel up was at Liberty Narromine for 161.5 and the most expensive was BP Narromine at 175.9.

In Wellington, the cheapest unleaded fuel was at Metro Petroleum for 171.9, with the most expensive at Shell Wellington for 184.9.

Across the Central West region, the most expensive service station according to the NSW Government’s Fuel Check was Jones Panelbeating in Dunedoo, at 199.9/litre.

The cheapest price for diesel in Dubbo was at United Dubbo East at 186.7, followed by United Petroleum Dubbo at 187.8.

The most expensive place to get diesel in Dubbo was at Coles Express Dubbo, which reached 199.9.

Narromine’s cheapest diesel was sold at Macquarie Valley Fuels for 182.5, with the most expensive sold at BP Narromine for 192.9.

In Wellington, the cheapest diesel was at Shell Wellington for 191.9, just behind the most expensive at BP Wellington at 193.9.

Across the Central West region, diesel was the most expensive at Group One Holdings Pty Ltd in Dunedoo for 214.9/litre.

Industry experts say the war in Ukraine and Covid-induced pressures on supply chains have caused this year’s volatility in fuel pricing.

Reducing the date for prostate screenings

By TIJANA BIRDJAN AUSTRALIA has one of the highest rates of prostate cancer in the world, with one in every six Australian men likely to be diagnosed by age 85.

Acting inspector of Dubbo police Justin Falkiner was diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 44, after being rejected to get tested two years prior.

He expressed he had a family history of high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels as his father battled with prostate cancer for a decade, however, Justin was told he was too young to get tested, given the evidence of his family history.

After getting a blood test for an unrelated injury two years later, the PSA level returned at 21 – four times higher than the average for his age group.

Mr Falkiner was recommended to seek a specialist and get tests immediately – then told to have an operation within a week.

“It’s the three words that no one ever wants to hear from a doctor, ‘you have cancer’, it was definitely a shock when I found out as I had no symptoms,” he shared.

He said he began to worry for

his wife and kids, being only five and seven at the time: “It was a very stressful period for my family and I”.

Like any curious mind, Mr Falkiner reverted to google and the internet to find answers despite his doctor directing him not to: “You can’t help it”.

Throughout the period, he said his children were too young to understand what was happening, but they were both supportive.

“It’s an upsetting time, but they were strong throughout it,” he remarked, sharing that his perspective altered along the way as he realised it was not only his journey, but his family's as well.

Mr Falkiner praised both his specialist and his surgeon as they made the process comfortable for him.

Having the option of travelling to Sydney or staying in Dubbo for his operation, Mr Falkiner said it was extremely convenient for him having the option to remain regional.

“The surgeon operated the radical prostatectomy by hand,” he continued saying he preferred to have the surgery here as the only difference is that he faced a slower recovery time.

In this year’s Federal Budget,

the age for PSA screening has been reduced from 50 to 40 for those with high risk family history.

“My specialist told me if I waited until I was 50 to get tested, I would’ve had a different outcome,” Mr Falkiner said – now it's been more than three years since his operation and he has not had any issues since.

“I still go for blood tests regularly, but after five years is when it should be cleared,” he shared.

Prostate Cancer Foundation of

Australia’s CEO Anne Savage said that when prostate cancer is detected at its earliest stages, the five-year relative survival rate for prostate cancer is nearly 100 per cent.

“If we can diagnose all men at the earliest stage and ensure they have access to new medicines and care, we can beat this disease,” Ms Savage explained.

“This funding will allow us to step up and take necessary action to ensure Australian men do not die before their time”.

Unions NSW advice: check your pay packet DUBBO’S hospitality workers are being reminded to check their pay slips after the Easter long weekend to ensure they’ve been paid correctly.

All four days of the Easter long weekend are public holidays and according to Unions NSW, one in two young workers aren’t receiving their legal entitlements.

Unions NSW Assistant Secretary, Thomas Costa, said casual employees were particularly vulnerable to being ripped off.

“In key industries such as retail and hospitality, special loading rates

of double time and a quarter and sometimes double time and a half apply for working Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday,” he said.

“If you’re not getting paid over double what you are for a normal shift then you know there’s something wrong.

“It’s really important employees are aware of this, and if they're in any doubt or think they're being ripped off, they should contact their union.”

He added it was also voluntary to

work on public holidays.

“No worker should feel coerced into working Good Friday or Easter Sunday – you have every right to decline a shift,” Mr Costa said.

“Australia Institute data shows on average Australian workers do 6.1 hours of unpaid overtime a week.

That’s like giving $230 to your boss each week.

“For the broader community, it's worth sparing a thought for the workers who keep our restaurants, stores, hospitals and police stations staffed while the rest of us are relaxing.”

Advisory Panel to help shape future of rural NSW health EXPRESSIONS of interest have been opened to NSW residents who wish to have a say in the future of regional health.

Residents can now lodge Expressions of Interest for the new Regional Health Ministerial Advisory Panel.

Minister for Regional Health Bronnie Taylor said the panel will have an integral role in the government’s move to improve health outcomes for people across rural and regional NSW. “The panel will strengthen community engagement and foster genuine co-design principles in the development of healthcare services in regional NSW,” she said.

The panel will play an important role in advising in areas including but not limited to the development and implementation of a Regional Health Plan for NSW, the design of innovative workforce and service delivery models, identifying barriers and incentives to attracting healthcare workers to regional areas, and helping create strategies to improve access to health and social services.

Following selection by the Minister for Regional Health and approval by Cabinet, the inaugural appointments will be appointed for up to three years.

The Panel will meet at least every three months.

Rural health should be poll a priority, doctors say THE Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) is calling on both major parties to address the rural health crisis, with even major regional centres such as Dubbo facing a lack of health professionals.

RDAA) president, Dr Megan Belot, said getting more doctors and nurses to the bush should be “an absolute priority” for Labor and the Coalition in the lead up to the May Federal election.

“The continuing shortage of doctors and nurses is crippling emergency care in hospitals across Australia,” she said.

“We need to be fixing all the pinch points in a young doctor’s career where there is a lack of opportunity to be exposed to rural medicine as a career path.

“It’s about looking at the lack of support for rural medical training and careers and addressing these issues.”

The RDAA and state Rural Doctors Associations are urging the major parties to increase the number of rural training places for junior doctors to 400 fulltime equivalent positions; fully implement the National Rural Generalist Pathway to deliver more rural generalist doctors to the bush; and increase funding for outreach services and local support through the Primary Health Networks for private consultant specialist practices in rural areas.

“The solutions are there – what we need is the strong leadership and proper investment to make them a reality,” Dr Belot said.

Helping people with dementia to vote DEMENTIA Australia is calling on people living with dementia, their families, and carers to start the conversation now about voting in the Federal Election on May 21.

Dementia Australia CEO, Maree McCabe, said the capacity to vote and participate in democracy was “decision specific”.

“Every person living with dementia has the right to participate and vote,” Ms McCabe said.

“It is important that peo-

ple living with dementia, their families and carers have the conversation now along with their doctor to decide together whether they want to vote, so their status on the electoral roll can be amended if needed.

“It may be that someone needs support to vote, for example, being reminded to attend their local polling place on the right date, or helping them arrange a postal vote, or to attend an early voting centre.”

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) provides a range of easy-to-read guides, which can assist people living

with dementia in simple, clear language on the voting process.

If it is decided that someone is no longer capable of understanding the nature and significance of enrolment and voting, the AEC can remove that person from the electoral roll, with a medical certificate signed by a doctor.

Local coffee hits the spot for tourists

April 21-27, 2022 Dubbo Photo News

By BROOKE JACOBSON

FRESH coffee and tasty treats kept hungry visitors to Dubbo satisfied during the Easter long weekend, with café owners reporting a busy holiday period.

Julie Cross, owner of Cross Coffee House, said her small family-owned business opened on Good Friday, Easter Saturday, and Easter Sunday.

“It was a very busy weekend and for us, it was definitely worth opening,” she said.

Julie added 90 per cent of her customers on the Easter weekend were from out of town.

“Most people who came in were not from Dubbo,” she said.

“They were here to go to the zoo or the gaol, or they were passing through on their way to somewhere else.

“The lovely thing was we had so many positive comments from people about Dubbo.

“Lots of people said they didn’t realise how big Dubbo was, or they told us how much they loved the zoo, and they were generally really impressed with everything.

“We liked to help people by telling them about the gaol or day trips they could do, and just all the different things they can see around Dubbo.

“The general consensus was that they were so impressed with Dubbo, and that’s always good to hear.”

Julie said while it was “worth it” for her business to open – with

Twelve-year domestic violence report shows no improvement

THE NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research released a new report on April 13 about the trends in domestic and family violence from July 2008 to June 2020.

According to victim survey results and police recorded crime statistics, the occurrence of domestic and family violence-related assaults had remained stable over the 12 years.

Just over half of people who experienced an incident of domestic or family violence reported the incident to police.

This proportion also remained stable over the recorded years.

herself, her husband and two staff members working – she understood how hard it could be for bigger businesses.

“If you’ve got a staff of 10 or 12, the cost (for penalty rates) can be too much,” she said.

“And if you have a lot of junior staff, they might be away for the

weekend with their families.

“For us, we don’t offer table service or anything like that, and the four of us coped with how busy we were. But for bigger cafes, I understand it can be hard.”

Cross Coffee House was closed Easter Monday, but Julie said she spent that day baking ready for

another week.

“It was great to have some normality back and we were so lucky with the weather,” she said.

“Lots of people coming from Sydney just said how good it was to get away from the rain and it was lovely to see everything so busy.”

DUBBO resident Barbara O’Brien has been honoured for her dedication to the city through a Local Achievement Award as part of the 2022 NSW Seniors Festival.

Mrs O’Brien received the award due to her active involvement with the Combined Pensioners Association, Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Terramungamine Country Women’s Association, U3A, St Brigid’s Parish and the St Vincent de Paul Society.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders presented Mrs O’Brien with the award last week.

“Even in her later years, Barbara is incredibly passionate about expanding her horizons and helping others do the same,” Mr Saunders said.

“Her U3A class ‘Dubbo Personalities’ has proven a real hit, inviting local people to share their stories.”

Mrs O’Brien said the nomination was “overwhelming” and

“amazing”.

“I’m just one little cog in a wheel,” she said.

“Barbara showcases the qualities of seniors who make our region a diverse, active and inspirational place to live, and I congratulate and thank her for her generous contribution to our community,” Mr Saunders said.

More Local Achievement Awards from across the electorate will be announced in coming weeks.

By STEPH ALLEN THE completion of the new Victoria Park play space has been put on the back burner after a range of issues including heavy rainfall last week.

A Dubbo Regional Council spokesperson stated the delay had been caused by wet weather, equipment

shortages and contractor availability.

Work recommenced on the site last Wednesday, April 13, in preparation for the installation of the senior play equipment.

The work will continue this week depending on weather.

The installers are scheduled to start installing the

%

senior playground equipment for May 2, before the installation of the fitness area is commenced.

Based on external advice and weather, the play space is now due to be completed mid-June 2022.

The play space was originally expected to be completed by the Easter long weekend.

The western town that’s inspiring young musicians

By JOHN RYAN A CORE group of people in a small western town have moved beyond its current situation and, instead, imagined the future they desire for their community.

Two years ago, a small committee of music lovers came together to create the Warren Chamber Music Festival (WCMF) which celebrates classical music. The inaugural three-day, four-concert event was a spectacular success.

An incredible 13 world-class chamber musicians were engaged along with a renowned brass band to create what was described as “regional Australia’s cultural event of the season”.

Falling miraculously between two Covid lockdowns, more than 600 tickets were sold and about 200 people turned up to the free outdoor concert, including visitors from across the state and beyond.

A ‘Tackling Tough Times’ grant of $20,000 from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal broke the back of the event’s costs. Outback Arts kicked in $5000, and Warren Shire Council, Warren Services Club and Warren Rotary also helped out financially.

Artistic Director Frances Evans (nee Wilson) reflected on that unwavering community support to make the town a better place to live.

“The support that we received from the community and those that travelled to attend the festival was incredibly encouraging,” Mrs Evans said. “Rural families still part with hard-earned money to enrol their children into music lessons.

“Many parents and grandparents enjoyed piano lessons in their youth and country folk are educated and culturally aware – many are well travelled and love the opportunity to hear classical music.

“The chamber music festival reminded us all that we can have access to affordable and worldclass performances if only we are willing to tap into the funding available to bring the Arts out

west,” she said.

“Musicians and Arts practitioners based in the city are crying out to tour the west and see the landscape.

“Every musician loved Warren and its people. Touring to rural NSW seemed to truly be a gift for the performers!”

Out of this enormous support and success, the Warren Chamber Music Festival has created Education Week, which will be

staged from May 3-7 this year in the town.

Education Week aims to create an immersive and inspiring environment, providing no less than 12 opportunities for music making and learning, and opens with a free street performance by local Wayilwan students learning music through the “Our Place: Connecting to Country Through Music” program.

Other key performers include

Opera at Dundullimal SUNDAY 15 MAY An alfresco concert in the delightful gardens of Dubbo’s historic National Trust property. Enjoy beautiful music from operas and musicals by Mozart, Puccini, Bizet, Lehár and more. Plus the Macquarie Big Band entertains at 1.00pm. Bring your own picnic or purchase refreshments onsite.

There are three unique educational school concerts, one kinesthetic hands-on music workshop for residents at Calara House Residential Aged Care Accommodation, one performance lecture including composers Fanny Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann and Rebecca Clarke, and two evening concerts featuring headline act Ensemble Offspring.

A new work has been commissioned and it will have its world premiere on Saturday, May 7, during the 7-8.30pm concert.

It will include up to 40 instrumental students enrolled in learning instrumental music across the Central West, learning instruments including clarinets, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, violins and violas.

Book in for holiday fun

By BROOKE JACOBSON IF you’ve got a budding scientist, musician, or tech enthusiast, the Macquarie Regional Library is the place to be these school holidays.

Library manager, Kathryn McAlister, said school holiday programs would run until Saturday, April 23.

“Your library has a fantastic range of school holiday activities, with programs for children to enjoy at all of our branches,” she said.

“So, while you’re visiting, don’t forget to stock up on books, DVDs, audio books, CDs and magazines to keep you and your family entertained at home during the holiday period.”

Among the programs on offer is Shake, Rattle and Roll, an interactive activity where participants can learn to make their own musical instruments.

In addition, budding scientists can delve deeper into how sounds are made by creating wind chimes at The Sounds of Science workshop.

For tech enthusiasts, Makey Making Music will demonstrate how to use simple circuits to create an orchestra of unique instruments, including a fruit piano!

Dubbo children can be the first to use the library’s new Sphero Spec drums technology rings to create sounds, loops and beats.

At the same time, Wellington Library lovers can partake in a Soundscape workshop with a local artist.

Activities are suited for ages 5 to 12. For more information including activity dates and times, contact your local library branch or visit the school holiday activities page at: www.mrl.nsw.gov.au

DUBBO netballers will be pleased to discover two new hard surface courts at Nita McGrath Ovals are now complete ready for the coming season.

The Dubbo Netball Association received $228,100

through the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants Program in partnership with Dubbo Regional Council.

The local sporting community was significantly impacted through the pandemic, prohibiting teams from re-

suming netball competitions during the course of Covid’s Delta strain, so president of the Dubbo Netball Association Vanessa Ubergang said the new courts are a wonderful addition to the popular precinct.

“The expansion now provides an opportunity for the growth of our other projects, including development of our Representative Pathways Program, the Reconciliation Action Plan and even a future addition of a Males Pathway.”

Kindness costs nothing, means everything

By JOHN RYAN PROLIFIC Dubbo author Kerrie Phipps has launched a new book which shares valuable insights from lessons learned during two years of the world’s first global pandemic in a century.

She says the lessons she shares in “How To Talk To Strangers” are pretty simple, but explains that with our increasingly busy and insular lives, too many people don’t even realise they aren’t taking the time to establish the most basic connections with their fellow human beings.

That’s borne out by new research which shows Australians have been less socially distancing and more socially distant. That research found that 48 per cent of Aussies are choosing to spend more time on their own as a result of COVID restrictions, 35 per cent say they’re feeling less confident in their ability to organise and participate in social activities, and 25 per cent constantly find themselves looking at a screen when around others.

“I interviewed friends from all around the world because I wanted to share how it’s universal that ‘connection’ matters to everybody,” Mrs Phipps told Dubbo Photo News.

“I wanted to start conversations about moments with strangers where you’ve connected with somebody and it’s turned into something more beautiful than you expected; something that’s just lifted your spirits for the day or you’ve had that impact on somebody else,” she said.

“I want to encourage people that you make a bigger difference than you know, that your small act of kindness, your stepping aside for somebody, your moment of courtesy, or listening to somebody is having a greater ripple effect than you realise.

“The ripple effect is behind you so you don’t see it, you just go on your way, but it really matters that we’re just more aware of each other; aware of the fact that everybody is going through ‘stuff’.

“We don’t know about the story that somebody else is carrying, and if we can have a little more empathy and compassion for ourselves and each other then we really do make a more significant difference in the world.

“We brighten our communities just by giving a little of our best to others,” Mrs Phipps said.

The new book contains all kinds of stories, from local cafes and German train stations to Korean love-hotels. There are all kinds of entertaining and moving stories from people who connect in their everyday life.

She said the people she interviewed for her book are not all speakers or authors, they’re just people going about doing their thing and sharing moments where they’ve appreciated the connection of a stranger, or where they’ve realised that they’ve made a difference to somebody’s life.

Mrs Phipps added that the pandemic has forced people to do all sorts of things differently.

Her book was launched globally along with the co-authors featured in the book, reaching more than 1000 people through the event which was aired live on Facebook and Youtube.

“We’ve had to do things differently and I think when we are confronted with what we can’t do, we need to ask, ‘Well, what can I do?’ I can’t go and visit my grandma, maybe I can write her a letter, maybe I can pick up the phone, maybe I can send a text message or flowers from the garden.’

“There’s so many ways that we can connect with people, and by connecting – especially in a way that serves others – then it comes back to us as well. We can’t put a smile on someone’s face without having that positive effect on ourselves as well,” she said.

“Maybe we can think about what we would want if we were in lockdown, maybe you have been in lockdown, and you understand how isolating it is... (ask yourself) what is just one small thing that could help?”

When Mrs Phipps and husband Lyndon came back home from a trip to India in March 2020, they were caught at the forefront of a travel shock as borders began closing and rules and regulations were changing on a seemingly hourly basis.

She said the outpouring of human kindness they received was overwhelming.

“We had people offering all sorts of things, they were dropping off toilet rolls, and Henry from Black Tambourine was delivering coffee to us at the end of the day,” Mrs Phipps said.

“I have little cards that I get from Dubbo Printing Works and when you open them there’s an inspirational quote inside, so I’ll give them to a barista or people who serve at the frontline and then I’ll go in six months later and see that card sitting on their front counter and they’ll tell me they pick it up and read it from time to time, and that’s just come from a little gesture.

“A lady told me going to Black Tambourine is the heart of her day, she’s got a baby, she’s made to feel welcome, accepted, she’s not an inconvenience; Henry is far more people-focussed than business-focussed, he’s not just trying to get people in and out and you can feel that.”

It’s that personal touch, those human connections that cost little or nothing, that Kerrie Phipps says is the real glue that holds society together and enables individuals to feel part of communities.

Kerrie Phipps believes humanity as a whole will be far better off if we relearn how to talk to strangers. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

There’s something fishy going on

NSW Agriculture minister Dugald Saunders joined with local anglers and departmental staff to pour 15,000 Yellow Belly fingerlings into the Wambuul Macquarie River at Dubbo. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By JOHN RYAN THERE’S plenty happening in the local fish scene, with the Burrendong Classic back over Easter, fish screens being installed on irrigation pumps along the Wambuul Macquarie River, and now the latest news that 15,000 native Golden Perch fingerlings have been released back into the vital waterway.

Agriculture minister Dugald Saunders said the Golden Perch were bred suc-

cessfully at the Narrandera Fisheries Centre using stock rescued from the Macquarie River at the height of the drought in 2019.

“Native fish play an important economic role in NSW, contributing about $8 billion a year to tourism and recreation for Murray-Darling Basin communities,” Mr Saunders said.

“Recreational fishing also contributes an estimated $3.4 billion to the NSW economy and supports about

14,000 jobs.

“Stocking activities like these support healthy native fish populations that have faced tough conditions, including widespread drought, reduced water availability, and more recently, the effects of intense bushfires.”

Local angler Matt Hansen said fishers and water managers understand that native fish are part of a larger system and work needs to be done to protect these species.

“As one of the main inland rivers in NSW, the Macquarie River is an important home for these fish and a very popular place to wet a line, as far as thousands of anglers are concerned,” Mr Hansen said.

“The team at the Narrandera Fisheries Centre has done an outstanding job producing and delivering quality fish over many years to enhance recreational fishing opportunities for anglers, following some tough, dry years.”

Finding food workers is tough

By JOHN RYAN SHARON Campbell has been operating Real Food Dubbo since September 2012, but she says she’s never found it more difficult to find workers and says so many other food and hospitality outlets in the city are in the same boat.

“At the moment it’s a struggle to find people when employees leave, and most of the (other business along the) street are like that as well,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

Her business was very different when it kicked off. She said it started off very busy with a lot of interest because it was a new, unique business. It was a place where people could get exactly what they wanted and exactly how much they wanted, she explained.

“Since then, it’s been a consistent growth with catering and building the reputation and it’s quite a successful business, but when Covid hit we were really struck with being unable to find employees and, most importantly, finding the right people – people who want to work, who love

food, who want to learn how to do things properly in the food sector,” she said.

“There’s all sorts of different parts of the business that people can be in, so it’s not just food prep or kitchen or cleaning or customer service. There’s different areas for people with different skillsets, but I struggle to get anyone with suitable skills, and then they often don’t want to work the hours the industry demands,” she said.

Sharon Campbell is a great advocate of hospitality as a career path for school leavers as a way to get that vital frontline experience in the industry, whether they’re going to look for a career in hospitality or just use those skills to obtain employment while they’re studying tertiary education.

“Absolutely, my background is big event management so I teach the people who come here the skills for moving on as well.

“It’s not just about the ‘now’ job, they can take so much from what I have to offer in areas such as business management, event management, food preparation, nutrition, you name it – they’ll

learn that running a business isn’t just about serving customers with food,” she said.

“This industry can be as big or as little as you want, it’s an industry where you can be a business owner, you could be an event manager, there’s so many different levels which can help you move into other areas. It’s just a great way to start for kids, and for parents looking for work it’s a great industry with potentially flexible hours, it’s an industry that lends itself really well to fitting in to various lifestyles.”

Because it’s not a simple 9 to 5 Monday to Friday business, the hours aren’t just a standard 38-hour week, and there’s the flexibility of being able to work part-time.

“I will teach them the background of the industry, and we’re really looking for someone with a passion for the industry who wants to work, and learn and get paid at the same time.”

Sharon Campbell says learning skills in the local hospitality industry will ensure you’ll be able to get a job anywhere in the world. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Going for broker: Kirsty gets three nominations

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

Mortgage broker Kirsty Colliver has been nominated for three finance awards including Best Regional Broker and Young Finalist. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

WITH over 70 per cent of men making up finance industry employees, Kirsty Colliver is closing that gap when it comes to women succeeding in the male dominated industry.

Ms Colliver has been nominated for three different awards by two different associations including Best Regional Broker by the Better Business Awards held by the Advisor and Young Finalist and Best Regional Broker by Mortgage Finance Association of Australia.

Having over a decade of experience in mortgage broking, Ms Colliver established her business Flair Finance in June 2021.

“Leaving my previous job in May and opening a business in the middle of a pandemic was difficult,” she shared, saying that while her shop front was open, there were minimal cars on the road.

“It then took off running and hasn’t stopped,” she added that it was an honour being nominated for three separate awards in the first 12 months of having a business.

She said that when she took

the risk of establishing her own business, she never would have imagined being nominated for the awards.

“To be recognised on a national scale for doing what I love and helping people reach their goals is what I love,” she expressed.

Ms Colliver shared she used to work as an admin for Findex and she was unsatisfied with her position.

After having a conversation with her boss, he encouraged her into mortgage broking, she laughed saying she was unfamiliar with the occupation, but wanted to try something new.

After receiving a diploma and certificates in finance and mortgage broking, Ms Colliver knew she made the right decision with her career choice.

Ms Colliver commenced her own business as she wanted the freedom of working for herself and had an independent vision of where she wanted her career to proceed.

Having the freedom and independence of owning a business, she shared that she understands running a business and managing staff is very different from mortgage broking.

“I need to think about things, like client satisfaction and always improving the level of services we offer,” she continued saying she employed a receptionist four months into her business to increase her services.

“I had my own vision for what I wanted and I’m really glad I took the push,” she mentioned that her client base had grown from her existing clients and word of mouth.

Being in the finance industry, Ms Colliver experiences challenges of dealing with banks and undertaking stress.

“There are often high expectations, and you want to help people achieve those expectations,” she continued saying it feels very rewarding.

Her favourite moments are seeing clients realise that their financial dreams are not as unachievable as they think, Ms Colliver expressed that she receives satisfaction when people reach their goals.

“Whether people are buying their first, second or third home, or a car, people only get that luxury to do it a handful of times and it means a lot to be a part of that journey,” she added.

Fun sports back on the courts

By TIJANA BIRDJAN ESTABLISHED by two friends in 1998, Dubbo Sports World is one of the most successful sporting facilities Dubbo has to offer.

Owner Gregory King and retired business partner, Jeff Costello, originally established the venue as an indoor cricket centre, evolving the hub into an indoor multi-sporting facility.

Moving from Lismore, Mr King said he had two options when he graduated with a teaching diploma – move to the Moree region and commence teaching or pursue his childhood passion in sport and local community.

His choice was clear.

Growing up with football as his selected sport, Mr King acknowledged his passion for cricket evolved with the sporting facility.

“I’ve been involved with playing

cricket in national teams and I’ve made some strong connections around the world,” he reassured Dubbo Photo News that the facility is not a job to him during the sporting hours, rather it’s “a way of life”.

“During the day, I have to do the things that nobody likes, like paying the bills and stuff, but at night, it really is a social event,” he continued, saying he enjoys seeing people having fun through physical activity and enjoying themselves.

The facility offers a range of indoor sports including, netball, basketball, cricket, tri sports, pickleball and others.

Mr King expressed that seeing people build relationships with one another over a shared interest of sport gives him purpose to continue working at the facility.

“Having a social life is more vi-

tal than a job to me,” he continued, saying that philosophy is represented in the sporting hub.

With modern technology, Mr King is actively competing to keep the sporting world valuable in regional towns.

COVID has impacted the mental health of children and young adults with limited exposure to sporting facilities and face to face contact, but Mr King hopes he can revive the community once again by offering a range of available sports options.

With the often-limited resources available to regional children, Mr King said there are many challenges for those growing up in regional areas.

“When you see a talented kid from the country put their hand up and achieve – the whole town is cheering,” he continued, saying that every individual in a com-

munity is connected compared with metropolitan children who have patches of connections and friendships.

“I think everyone should be supporting people by getting out and physically engaging, not just for

the sake of our business, but for the sake of the town,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

“Whether you lose a game by 50 points or win a game by 50 points, as long as you have a laugh, that’s all that matters.”

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

show they’ll never forget.

Cowardly creeps

A 57-YEAR-OLD man has died after the Cessna 172 he was flying crashed at Coonabarabran Airport just before 4pm on Easter Monday, April 18.

A member of the public went to the aid of the pilot, the sole occupant, removing him from the plane and performing CPR until the arrival of police and paramedics, however the 57-year-old died at the scene.

Local police established a crime scene and will work with Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators as inquiries into the circumstance surrounding crash continue.

A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

THE supplied CCTV photo on this page allegedly shows one to the gang of gutless thieves calling themselves #wecreepwhileyousleep. What a pathetic bunch of losers.

I’m hearing this alleged gang, which allegedly steals cars and then films them driving around town, posting on social media to a backdrop of ‘scary gangster rap’ music, are allegedly well-known to police and allegedly given multiple free passes by the courts.

If this is the case, our courts need to step it up and protect the community. Magistrates have a difficult job but, if it is the case that the perpetrators are often before the courts, it would seem time for a much harder approach to be taken.

I well understand that many people have been so disadvantaged by their circumstances, and by society, that they’ve had little chance for a decent life so far, but when it gets down to it, the people doing the wrong thing need to be locked away so the honest, hard-working, law-abiding citizens can sleep in peace.

Heather Rogers had two cars stolen over the weekend and found them posted online and this sparked outrage amongst the community.

Apparently there’s five of these scum pseudo gangsters allegedly running around and trying to outcompete each other, and that their current crime spree allegedly runs back into the past few weeks.

Worryingly, there’s talk these lunatics have stolen firearms as well as cars and other stuff.

Some creepy CCTV security video was posted to social media of at least one of these turds checking out photos on the kitchen fridge of their victims’ children.

If anyone has information on these alleged humans, please let the cops know anything and everything as we all need to prioritise the protecting of the community.

Worryingly, it appears that friends of these scum post comedic comments about their dangerous alleged criminal antics.

The following online comments (some edited for clarity) give a good idea of the community’s concerns at the moment: • “Bloody hide of these people... [commenting on the CCTV im-

• “OMG, what bloody lowlifes, and that’s bloody scary people breaking in like that. Hope you get your cars back undamaged.

• “It’s sickening the things that are happening in Dubbo.

• “We aren’t far from you, so scary, we have always felt safe in this street, hope they get caught.

• “I literally called the cops last night because there were motorbikes going crazy (no lights, no helmets). I’m only around the corner and told (the police) to come have a look because it was obvious something was going on.

• “What I’m being told, and have seen on social media, these clowns have been running around Dubbo for weeks breaking in/stealing cars etc – everything is posted to social media.

• “This is exactly what happened to us, but (they) used my vehicle in an armed robbery after going through our home and helping themselves while just my daughter and I were asleep. We obtained and reported names, addresses (thank you teenagers with Snapchat), a video of four of them that they’d posted in my car – but so far, nothing. Just a neverending trail of a s**t show, camera speeding fines etc, all the way to the Blue Mountains and back over two days and not one police car pulled them up. Burnt out early hours of following Wednesday. The entire experience left a very sour taste in our mouths, to say the least!

• “The people need to step up and help the police.

• “I have nothing but contempt for these people who think they can just break in to people’s houses, steal cars, do what they please and think it’s their God-given right.

• “Just be careful because they have guns. Sorry this happened to you.

• “This always happens when people post crimes like this, some of their friends and family find it funny. Well it’s not funny when innocent people have their homes and lives violated by these thieving pieces of s**t.

• “(Being a victim of crime) is something that stays with you, sadly. I wish you justice because this so needs to stop. Disgusting act.

• “I know it probably sucks to see such reactions, but really it’s a good thing that people are dumb enough to dob their mates in.

• “Posting and commenting online are the police’s best friends when it comes to crime. How dumb.

• “Idiots, they’ve just admitted publicly that they know who did it. They think they are some mad thugs, (but it’s a) clown show more like it.

• “OMG I hope you and your children are okay, it will take time to settle down from the shock and stress of knowing people were in your home and stole from you while you were all sleeping.

• “It’s not what they stole so much as the intrusion to your home, your safe place. I wish you well.

Society is getting so sad and so disjointed.”

their crimes on social media – obviously they are not frightened of getting caught.

Remembering Constable David Carty’s death IT’S difficult to believe it’s been 25 years since Constable David Carty was stabbed to death.

He grew up in Parkes and had many mates across the region and he was stabbed to death outside a pub in Fairfield following a drink with colleagues after a late shift in the early hours of Friday, April 18, 1997.

All because he’d chipped a bloke who’d used vile language on a public street during his foot patrol earlier in the day.

I know his colleague, senior constable Michelle Auld, who came to his assistance and was herself seriously assaulted.

His family are as nice a bunch of people as you’d ever meet.

His killers made a mockery of our alleged ‘justice system’ and either walked free or served only a few years for their part in his violent murder.

So it’s good to see a memorial service was held this week at Fairfield to mark the 25th anniversary of his death.

South-West Metropolitan Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith, took part in the service. He’s a former superintendent from Dubbo and the MC was Fairfield City Crime Manager, Det Insp Luke Scott, another former Dubbo detective, so it’s great to see that western connection as our current police

Chopper rescue ON the afternoon of April 14, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked to reports of a 40-year-old male injured after a quad bike rollover on a rural property at Goodooga, north east of Lighting Ridge.

It was reported he was suffering serious head injuries after being thrown from the quad.

Local Paramedics attended the scene and commenced treatment of the victim before transporting him to Lighting Ridge where the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Critical Care Medical Team rendezvoused.

The patient was treated and stabilised by the Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team prior to being flown direct to the Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in a stable condition.

Industrial equipment smashed YOU just get so sick of mindless, idiotic vandalism that sees no gains or advantage for anyone.

Even the fools who smashed all the windows on the grader, excavator, and front-end-loader down the end of Merrilea Road will end up paying for it because that sort of crap pushes all our insurances up, and those costs flow on to everyone in our society.

And for what? A few seconds of cheap thrills?

Put your money where your mouth is

By BROOKE JACOBSON WITH the winter sport season fast approaching, the state’s peak dentistry body is urging Dubbo sporting clubs to make mouthguards mandatory.

Australian Dental Association NSW (ADA NSW) president, Dr Michael Jonas, said thousands of people were treated each year for dental injuries which occurred while playing sport.

“These can need time off school or work to recover from, be seriously painful and disfiguring or may involve expensive or even possibly a lifetime of treatment,” he said.

“Wearing a mouthguard custom-fitted by your dentist while both training and playing sport is an easy and safe way to help protect against these injuries.

“Not only does it help protect your teeth, but it can also help prevent jaw fractures, lacerations and other severe cuts and wounds too.

“ADA NSW urges all Dubbo sports clubs to register for our national branch’s No Mouthguard, No Play policy, make mouthguards mandatory and help best protect their players this forthcoming winter sports season.”

Dubbo Family Dentists recommend that a custom-fitted mouthguard be worn “whenever you or your child is playing a contact sport”.

“Custom-fitted mouthguards are the only safe mouthguards,” the practice states on their

website.

While rugby league, rugby union, AFL and hockey players should all wear a mouthguard while playing and training, Dr Jonas said anyone who played a sport where accidental collision or contact to the face can occur

should wear a mouthguard.

He added the mouthguard should be made by a dentist.

“Self-fitted, over-the-counter mouthguards, including what are commonly known as boil-andbite mouthguards, should not be used,” Dr Jonas said.

“A mouthguard custom-fitted by your dentist is far superior to an over-the-counter mouthguard.

“It is specially designed to fit the exact contours of your mouth, is resilient, balances your bite and allows speech and normal breathing.

“If properly used, stored and checked by your dentist every year, a custom-fitted mouthguard should last several seasons.

“Prevention is better than the cure, so ADA NSW urges all participants, no matter what their sport, to obtain a custom-fitted mouthguard from their dentist and ensure they’re playing it safe for the winter sports season.” z There are about 70,000 potentially preventable hospitalisations for dental injuries every year in Australia. Sports-related injuries account for almost 40 per cent of dental injuries, yet only 36 per cent of Australians wear a mouthguard during contact sport. z A mouthguard is cheaper than an injury – a custom-fitted mouthguard starts from $69, considerably less than replacement teeth.

A small chip to a tooth can cost between $150 and $200 to repair, and an implant to replace a knocked out front tooth can cost more than $4,500. z A custom-fitted mouthguard helps absorb and spread the impact of a blow to the face, preventing jaw fractures, facial lacerations, concussions and base of skull injuries.

COVID cases in Dubbo continue to drop DUBBO had just over 1700 active cases of COVID-19 as at Tuesday, April 19, down 171 cases from a week ago.

A total of 1724 cases were reported on Tuesday, with numbers slowly dropping from the recent peak of 1954 on April 10.

On April 19, over 95 per cent of people aged 16 and over had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 94.7 per cent had received two doses to April 17, according to NSW Health.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, 2626 people have died in NSW. NSW Heath continues to report “locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the last four weeks” in each Local Government Area (LGA), alongside the number of PCR tests for the same period. According to the latest available figures, up to 4pm on April 19, there were a total of 2136 cases in the Dubbo LGA, 142 cases in Narromine and 1552 cases in the Orange LGA. Dubbo residents had taken 11,133 tests, Narromine had 667, and Orange recorded 4797 tests.

IT’S A RECORD!

Millions injected into Dubbo community DUBBO residents will notice over $4m injected by the federal government into Dubbo Regional Council over the next coming months for priority projects and infrastructure.

The projects under the third phase of the Commonwealth’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program include, Wheelers Lane Road rehabilitation works, the construction of an elevated substation platform at the Ollie Robbins Oval event precinct, wayfinding signage for pathway networks and infrastructure for the Old Dubbo Gaol Heritage Plaza.

Federal Member for Parkes

Mark Coulton said the funding provides the opportunity for Dubbo Regional Council to provide lasting benefits to the community.

“This will provide a vital boost for Dubbo, backing local jobs and economic growth while delivering important projects that will benefit residents for years to come,” he said.

Mayor of Dubbo Regional Council Mathew Dickerson said the contributions from the government are instrumental when delivering improvements for the community, he continued saying the council can deliver the infrastructure and service levels the Dubbo community expect.

A family in Esko, Minnesota, USA, has achieved a record that not many can measure up to – quite literally! The Trapp family of five – Scott, Krissy, Savanna, Molly, and Adam – have been confirmed as the tallest family in the world with an average height of 203.29cm.

The family’s combined height is equal to the length of half a tennis court! The youngest (but certainly not the smallest) member of the family is 22-year-old Adam Trapp, who towers over his siblings and parents at an astounding 221.71cm tall. Savanna Trapp-Blanchfield, 27, is next, measuring in at 203.6cm.

Last is their sister Molly Steede, 24, standing at 197.26cm tall.

Unsurprisingly, all three Trapp kids played sports throughout their lives and were recruited by colleges for either basketball or volleyball.

Dump yourself into Dubbo

By Emily Lousick, Year 6 IS Dubbo a sustainable city? Dubbo is a growing city that flourishes with life.

It has many places to visit and explore, such as parks, malls and the Macquarie River. Currently, the Dubbo community is a stable and happy community.

However, we are not a sustainable city! Now is the time for residents to find out why, and see what simple things they can to help.

Did you know that 15 per cent of the children in Dubbo go to school without lunch at least one day a week? That’s right, the amount of food us Dubbo citizens waste and throw out into the red bins could have been what that

15 per cent of children could’ve had for lunch.

If you didn’t know, Dubbo’s river water was one of the most pristine water sources in the whole world! That’s great, but the problem is that it “was”. Now it has been polluted by all the Dubbo residents like yourself, these residents pollute the water with all kinds of things like plastic bottles, rubbish bags and even tyres!

This is what can be found near the outskirts of the Macquarie River.

The city of Dubbo is also not free from poverty either! 11.5 per cent of the residents that live in Dubbo, live with significant economic disadvantages, and around 4500 residents live in complete poverty.

Well, the good thing is, that there are some simple things that the people of Dubbo can do to help, which means that you can help too!

To help sustain the water and food of Dubbo, try to have showers instead of baths, as they generally use less water. Remember to turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth, as well as if you have leftovers put them into a container that you freeze to eat later, or maybe even invest in composting, by using the green bins, or even start making a compost area in your own garden or

backyard.

To help sustain electricity, turn off any electronic devices or lights no-one is using, and you could install some solar panels to help to produce more electricity, as well as save money.

These are just some of the simple things you can do to help the society of Dubbo.

If you take what you have read to heart, I hope you will try and make a difference to help everyone in the community of Dubbo.

Reading between the lines of Little Red Riding Hood

By Sienna McConnell, Year 4 IT can be inferred that the character of Little Red Riding Hood is wondrous, wild and friendly. It would be deduced that she is fearless and adventurous because Little Red Riding Hood skips through the spooky forest. A clue in the story suggests Little Red Riding Hood is honest because she told the wolf the truth. Using evi-

dence from the text it can be assumed that she is gentle because she does not fight the world and when she talks to the wolf, she is not mean, “I am going to see my grandmother.”

Jack’s Story (I need a better title)

By Daniel Leary, Year 6 JACK was a firefighter, he was friendly, sporty, caring, loyal and competitive, but five years ago that all changed when he was found unconscious after rescuing people from a fire at a school.

Jack is still himself, but he will never be exactly the same. Jack is still a friendly, caring, loyal and thoughtful man in his 30s.

Jack still enjoys sport and is still very competitive, in fact last year he won the men’s 100 and 500 races in the paralympics.

When Jack tells people his story, he tells it like this: “Thomas, who was my best friend at the time (it was his job to inform the firefighters about fires) informed

me about a school fire.

‘Anyone I know?’ I asked absently as I was going to get the rest of the people on my firefighting team. ‘Not as far as I know,’ replied Thom.

When I arrived, I went straight into the building to help get the kids out of the school buildings.

I got most of the kids out and the firefighters from other teams got the rest of the kids out eventually. When I went back into the building, I was going around a fire when I tripped over, my arm fell into the fire and I was knocked out.

Three days later I woke up in hospital and soon saw that I no longer had a right arm. Later I was told that my right leg was damaged and that I wouldn’t be able to walk again.

Jack now spends most of his time reading when he is not working.

Jack is a therapist for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Specifically for fires.

Jack still lives a good life, overall not much about him has changed except that he is more quiet and cautious now that he is disabled. Though he admits he definitely would have preferred to keep his arm and ability to walk.

10 9 14 Steps To A Better You LIME CORDIALE

Homelessness in elderly demographic on the rise THE NSW Upper House Standing Committee on Social Issues has commenced an inquiry into homelessness amongst the state’s residents aged 55 and over.

The Chair of the Standing Committee on Social Issues, the Hon Scott Barrett MLC, said there were concerns homelessness was on the rise for the demographic.

“Older people rely on housing for their health and wellbeing,” he said.

“This inquiry will examine the rate of homelessness and factors affecting the incidence of homelessness among older people, as well as impacts on health and wellbeing and challenges in navigating homelessness services.

“In addition, the committee will examine opportunities for change and improvement to address these important issues, including around early intervention, services to support older people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, options to better support older people to obtain and maintain secure accommodation, and best practice approaches in other jurisdictions.

“Data collection will also be a key focus.”

The committee is due to report

by September 30.

Why UTIs are putting Aussies at risk

By STEPH ALLEN WHILE common infections such as urinary tract infections have often been treated easily in the past, a new study by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, had found the spread of drug-resistant bacteria is increasing the risk of death.

One in two women and one in 20 men will experience common infections.

While infections such as UTIs have been easily treated with medication or homemade remedies such as cranberry juice in the past, more intensive measures must be taken to counteract the bacteria, which is currently surging through the community.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria and other mi-

crobes become resistant to the drugs designed to kill them, generally through misuse or overuse of the drugs.

The bacteria can be passed between humans through hospital transmission and community transmission.

The study, a collaboration between CSIRO, QUT and the University of Queensland, analysed data from 21,268 patients across 134 Queensland hospitals who acquired their infections in the community.

It found patients were 2.43 times more likely to die from community acquired drug-resistant UTIs caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 3.28 times more likely to die from community acquired drug-resistant

blood stream infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae than those with drug-sensitive infections.

CSIRO research scientist, Dr Teresa Wozniak, said the high prevalence of UTIs make them a major contributor to antibiotic use in Australia.

“Our study found patients who contracted drug-resistant UTIs in the community were more than twice as likely to die from the infection in hospital than those without resistant bacteria,” Dr Wozniak said.

“Without effective antibiotics, many standard medical procedures and life-saving surgeries will becoming increasingly life-threatening.

“Tracking the burden of drug-resistant infections in the community is criti-

cal to understanding how far antimicrobial resistance is spreading and how best to mitigate it.”

The study’s findings will provide further guidance for managing AMR in the community, such as developing AMR stewardship programs that draw on data from the population being treated.

CSIRO’s Australian e-Health Research Centre CEO Dr David Hansen said tracking community resistance was difficult as it involved multiple strains of bacteria.

“Until now we haven’t been using the best data to support decision making in our fight against AMR. Data on community acquired resistance is a significant missing piece of the puzzle,” he said.

“Digital health has an

important role in using big data sets to describe patterns of disease and drive important population health outcomes.”

CSIRO is conducting further research to understand the clinical implications of AMR, its health and economic burden, and improving surveillance of AMR in blind spots like rural and remote communities.

The paper, ‘The increased length of hospital stay and mortality associated with community-associated infections in Australia’, was published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases in March 2022.

AMR can be reduced through good hand hygiene, keeping your environment clean, good food preparation hygiene, and not misusing antibiotics.

Owners’ heartbreak after dog mauled at Ponto Falls

By STEPH ALLEN

GAIL Watson and her husband Dave were holidaying with their beloved toy poodle at Ponto Falls, near Wellington, when in a split moment, a leisurely walk turned into a nightmare.

Mrs Watson was stretching her legs after their arrival at the camp grounds on January 21 2022, walking their nine-yearold Max in his harness when out of nowhere, a large, unrestrained dog attacked – mauling the 5kg dog and carrying him away.

Struck by a mixture of shock and horror, Mrs Watson chased after the dog, her screams alerting the other owner who were camped nearby.

“The man came and belted his dog off Max...he was in a bad way,” she said.

“I wasn’t thinking straight.

I rushed back to the top of the campground where my husband and I told him to unhook the van because we needed to get into a vet.

“It was after 4.30pm and I was panicking, thinking we weren’t going to get in.

“We rushed into Wellington vet just on 5pm and once they knew

what happened, they shook their head and said his chance of surviving would be zilch. He had to be euthanised.”

Max had suffered from many puncture wounds and his little back was broken in three places.

Mrs Watson herself had sustained damage to her shoulder during the struggle to free Max from the other dog’s jaws – tearing all the tendons from her shoulder.

Devastated, the couple returned back to the camping ground only to find the owners of the other dog had packed up and disappeared.

“The police were notified and did visit the camp area but did very little. They took a statement from us but never interviewed anyone else camped there... or people who saw what happened and heard my screaming,” Mrs Watson said.

“Two months on and we’re still waiting on the police to talk to these people. We have tracked them down (via dashcam footage) and have given all the information to the police but they don’t seem to care.

“I just want justice for Max and compensation for my vet and

medical expenses.

“Dave has MS. We go away as often as we can because there will come a day when we can’t go, and we bought the caravan because we didn’t want to leave Max at home. He loved it.”

Mrs Watson will undergo an MRI after Easter and a surgeon will determine whether she can be operated on.

“There’s no strength in that arm. I can’t lift or extend it. It’s a pain the bum – I’m Dave’s carer,” she said.

“We’ve sought legal advice from our solicitor but it could cost a lot of money we might not have.

“I want them to own the situation because they obviously ran for a reason. I want their dog dealt with. It could have been a child.”

An NSW police spokesperson said the investigation was ongoing and no further information could be provided at the time.

Wellington couple recognised for community service

By STEPH ALLEN

CENTRAL West seniors who have helped the region’s communities thrive have been recognised for their invaluable service as part of the 2022 NSW Seniors Festival.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders recently presented Wellington’s Terry and Donna Dray with a Local Achievement Award. “(They) showcase the qualities of seniors who make our region such a fantastic place to live, and I congratulate and thank them for their generous contributions to our community,” Mr Saunders said.

“Terry – or Tippy as he’s better known – and Donna are two examples of good citMember for Dubbo Dugald Saunders (centre) presented Seniors Week Local Achievement Awards to Wellington’s Donna and Terry ‘Tippy’ Dray (holding their awards). PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED izenship, who enrich the lives

of those around them every day,” Mr Saunders said.

“Their kind and selfless natures shine through in everything they do for Wellington and it’s great to be able to recognise that with this award.”

Mr and Mrs Dray were recognised for their contributions to the Wellington Diggers Swimming Club, as well as the Wellington Eisteddfod, Legacy and the wider community.

Mr Dray has also been president of the former Wellington Basketball Association, a representative on Wellington Shire Council, and is currently a board member of the Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club.

Mrs Dray coached Little

Athletics for many years.

Both were heavily involved with junior rugby league, especially while their sons were playing.

Mr Dray said the couple was “surprised” and “very honoured” to receive their awards.

“Wellington is our home and we like to contribute as much as we can,” he said.

“I’ve been president of the Diggers Swimming Club for something like 40 years and it was something my father was involved with, so I like to keep it going.

“We really enjoy doing our little bit. You get a lot of pleasure out of volunteering in a number of those organisations so I’d really encourage people to put their hand up.”

A lifetime of service

Anthony Dennis grew up in Trangie with a dream to join the Australian Army. For this country kid, his dream came true.

Colonel Dennis is currently serving as Chief of Staff at the Army Aviation Command and his life reads in part like something from a Hollywood movie.

He took time out from his busy schedule to speak with JOHN RYAN about his dreams, aspirations and career.

••• Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Trangie. Dad was a postal clerk and eventually the postmaster.

I went to primary school at St John’s Catholic School and then did Year 7-10 at Trangie Central School. I went to Red Bend Catholic College in Forbes for Year 11 and 12.

After high school I went to Sydney University and was studying to be an Industrial Arts teacher however decided that wasn’t for me, so I moved back to Trangie and worked on several farms before moving again to Sydney and completing an Electrical apprenticeship.

Did you always want to go into the army while at school?

I always wanted to join the Army, I just wasn’t sure what I would do in there. Infantry was always an option but thinking long-term at the time (some 35 years ago) there wasn’t anything at the end of a stint in Army as an infantry soldier.

I looked into going to apprenticeship school in Army but they didn’t offer what I wanted, which was Carpentry. In the end, life overtook me and I ended up doing an electrical apprenticeship with a civilian company in Sydney.

When did you enlist and where?

I was appointed on January 14, 1997, in Sydney. I commenced at Royal Military College (RMC) Duntroon later that month and graduated to the Australian Army Aviation Corps in June 1998.

Talk us through the various stages of your career, including the jobs you’ve had, and where you’ve been deployed.

Upon completion of RMC, I went on to fixed-wing flying training at Tamworth flying CT4s at the British Aerospace Facility. From there I did my rotary wing flying training at the ADF Helicopter School in Canberra flying the AS350BA Squirrel helicopter.

In July 1999 I commenced training on the S-70A-9 Black Hawk Helicopter at the School of Army Aviation before being posted to B Squadron, 5th Aviation Regiment in Townsville in 2000.

Over the next five years I consolidated my flying skills in barracks, on exercise and on operations which culminated in achieving my Category A pilot rating which, at the time, was very rare and much revered.

I held positions in B Squadron as a Troop Commander and Squadron Second in Command, and subsequently adjutant of the 5th Aviation Regiment.

In 2004 I did a three-month exchange with the UK 4th Regiment, Army Air Corps flying AH1 Gazelles. After various regimental

and staff positions, I returned to B squadron as Officer Commanding in 2010, which was one of the more rewarding and fulfilling roles I’ve had.

While it is cliché, it is truly an honour and privilege to lead officers and soldiers in the Australian Army, and adding to this honour was commanding a detachment of the Timor Leste Aviation Group on Operation ASTUTE in Timor Leste.

Following my time as Officer Commanding B Squadron I held various other positions including Staff Officer to the Director General Aviation, Brigade Major and Operations Officer of the 16th Aviation Brigade.

I was subsequently selected as the Commanding Officer of the 5th Aviation Regiment where I commanded the Australian Army’s Air Assault capability which comprised of two Squadrons of MRH90 Taipan troop lift helicopters, a Squadron of CH-47D Chinook medium lift Helicopters, a Logistic Support Squadron, a Technical Support Squadron and a Headquarters Squadron.

This was a very challenging and rewarding role. The thing I remember most is the infectious enthusiasm that my young soldiers and officers had in meeting the requirements of their role, juxtaposed by the apparent no-end of mischief that they seemed able to find themselves in.

After my time in command I suffered the great fortune of being posted to Hawaii for two years as the Australian Army Liaison Officer to the United States Marine Corps Forces Pacific. Living and working in Hawaii was great, but not without its challenges.

I was fortunate to work with Lieutenant General David Burger who was the Commander of Marine Corps Forces Pacific and went on to become the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. He was a real statesman and I learned

a lot from him about Generalship, diplomacy and international relationship management.

Posted back to Australia in 2019 I held positions in International Policy Division and the Directorate of International Engagements-Army before returning to the Army Aviation capability as the Staff Officer Grade 1 in charge of our Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters.

I then held the position of Director Aviation Reform within Forces Command before being appointed to my current position of Chief of Staff Army Aviation Command.

In terms of Operational deployments, I have been fortunate enough to deploy on many Operations over my 25 years (so far) in Army.

In the early days, in the early 2000s I deployed to Timor Leste née East Timor four times on Operations TANAGER and CITADEL (2000, 2001, 2003, 2004). Our mission there, initially as part of the UN Peacekeeping effort, was to provide Aeromedical Evacuation (AME), Quick Reaction Force (QRF) and Air Mobile support to the Australian Battle Group and ground forces generally – there was a Fijian Company at Aidabasalala as well as various other nations supporting the mission.

The Fijians were always a joy to fly, though, like every infantry unit that spends any time in the field, they tended to reek of sweat and the remnants of patrolling through dense bush and jungle in a humid environment when they get on board the aircraft to be extracted from the field.

Not the slightest of lads, we combat loaded them into the back of the aircraft, which is to say we had them sit on the floor and those lucky enough to sit in the doorway got to hang their feet out on the step. We run a strap from one side of the door to the other to ‘hold’ them in and launched into the sky.

Not being exposed to helicop-

ters very often, the thrill on their faces and cheers of excitement as we flew low and fast along the Maliana River (perhaps banking a little bit more steeply than we needed to) made us forget about the smell, and relish in their joy and in the disbelief that the Army was paying us to do this job we all loved.

Night missions in poor weather were always a challenge, but we all knew if we were called upon for our primary task of AME or QRF then, if it was at all possible (and within the rules), we would launch our aircraft to support the soldiers on the ground.

We conducted many missions extracting injured soldiers and civilians, inserting QRF in support of a ground tactical plan, and inserting Patrols along the Terrain Control Line (TCL) – the border with West Timor.

My deployments in Timor Leste gave me a solid foundation in flying skills and allowed me to develop a command approach that I would maintain throughout my command appointments of Troop Commander, Squadron Commander and Regiment Commander – people are the focus of our Army and whatever else we may do, looking after our people, our young men and women who willingly put their lives on the line, is and must be our primary focus.

I returned to Timor Leste in 2010 as the Commander of the Timor Leste Aviation Group as part of Operation ASTUTE where our role, again, was AME and QRF tasking.

Most of our AME missions were in support of civilians with a number of pregnant women being evacuated from Atauro Island (24km north) to the Mainland following complications in childbirth.

We like to think that some of those mothers named their children after us!

We did a good amount of training with the Reserve Infantry

Company that was providing the QRF and some of our own training throughout the countryside.

We spent Christmas in new facilities at Komoro Airfield where I served every officer and soldier their breakfast in the mess. That had a big and positive impact on the detachment and it is still one of the things that the officers and soldiers of that detachment bring up to me when we speak – cementing my belief that our people should be our primary focus.

In November 2005, following a devastating earthquake in the Kashmir region of Pakistan, I deployed on Operation Pakistan Assist as part of Task Force 632. Our mission there as part of a Whole of Government Response was again AME, but also included supporting the Australian Medical Detachment at Dhanni and more general utility support to the forces of the Combined Disaster Assistance Centre – Pakistan (CDAC-PAK).

My role started out as a liaison officer within CDAK-PAK, but Rear Admiral LeFever, the Commander of CDAC-PAK, re-rolled me as the aviation operations officer and I became responsible for tasking all helicopters under command. This included our four Australian Black Hawks and, at its peak, 21 CH-47 chinooks from various US Army and National Guard units.

I was lucky enough to do some flying while in Pakistan and, despite the absolute devastation caused by the earthquake, with whole villages destroyed and tens of thousands homeless, flying around the base of the Himalayas provided some of the most spectacular and challenging flying I have done.

It must also be said that the Pakistani people that I met in some of the small villages in the provinces we conducted medical assistance in were wonderful. They accepted our assistance graciously and offered us any small token they had to show their appreciation. A cup of tea went a long way!

Late 2006 was the first of three deployments to Afghanistan (2006, 2008, 2020). Unfortunately, my roles in Afghanistan did not involve flying.

My first deployment I worked as a Staff Officer Grade 3 (Captain) in the Combined Joint Aviation

One difficult manoeuvre for helicopter pilots is to hold the aircraft in a 'hover'.

It’s a task made far more complex when half a dozen soldiers in full combat gear exit by rappelling from the rear compartment by ropes, an exercise which can create an awkward pendulum effect which the pilot must compensate for.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Operations cell of Regional Command-South at Kandahar airfield, where I was responsible for tasking a US Combat Aviation Brigade which included our Australian CH47D Chinook helicopters (called the Rotary Wing Group).

My second deployment to Afghanistan, again to Kandahar airfield, involved taking care of the Rotary Wing Group aircraft during the Afghan winter, which was considered the non-fighting season.

The biggest threat on these two deployments was from rocket at-

tacks from the surrounding areas. They were relatively common but mostly ineffective. Though one particular attack resulted in shrapnel damage to some of our aircraft equipment and the office that two of my soldiers worked in. It was fortuitous this particular rocket attack was at night because had it been in the daytime, my two soldiers would have been in the office and may well have been injured (or worse).

My final deployment to Afghanistan was at the end of 2020 when

I deployed to Kabul as the Director Operations within the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan. My role was the coordination of operations, plans and training in support of Coalition Advise/Assist missions to enhance the institutions viability of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s Ministries of Interior and Defence.

My team consisted of two US Army, two UK military (one army and one navy), two Austrian Army, one Romanian Army, one Dutch Navy and one Italian Army. The multi-national flavour of the team had its pros and cons but, by and large, we functioned very well as a team.

This was a very challenging and rewarding deployment due to the complexity of policies and procedures that needed to be assimilated into operations and planning, combined with commanding a multi-national team in an increasing threat environment.

My deployment was cut short due to the passing of my dad, which I returned to Australia for, and although I was scheduled to return to Afghanistan it was about this time the US announced their full plan for withdrawal and I remained in Australia.

That was difficult for me as I wanted to see the mission to completion, and not returning meant I felt I left the task incomplete. Not mission failure for me, but not mission success either.

What are the toughest assignments you’ve had and why?

This is a very difficult question to answer. Much of my time in the Army has seen me in very challenging roles, but none that I would consider tough.

I have always felt well-prepared for the roles that have been given to me and have executed them to the best of my ability.

Highlights are easy to reel off: flying – just about anywhere but the mountains of Pakistan and PNG are particularly memorable; commanding officers and soldiers on operations and in Australia; working in Hawaii; establishing life-long friends and, of course, the feeling of pride that comes with serving the nation.

If I was to point to the ‘toughest’ point in my career it would be the death of one of my soldiers when I was the Commanding Officer of the 5th Aviation Regiment.

The death of a soldier (or anyone for that matter) is always a tragedy and the circumstances of this soldier’s death were particularly hard on the unit.

The Regimental Sargent Major (RSM) pulled a team together from across the Unit for the military funeral that was to take place in Tasmania and, while sad for the occasion, I was extremely proud of my soldiers, the young men and women, that conducted the roles of bearer party, funeral firing party and pallbearers with dignity and stoicism.

For my part, the hardest thing I have had to do was to hand the soldier’s Slouch Hat and Medals to their family on behalf of a grateful nation.

You got into choppers – tell us about that?

My journey to flying helicopters is pretty straight-forward. I hadn’t necessarily had a lifelong ambition to fly but had a passing interest, largely borne of my time working for a crop-dusting company in my school holidays.

My interest in helicopters came from taking a scenic flight over Franz Joseph on the South Island of New Zealand. From the moment the aircraft came to a hover I knew that I was hooked.

We departed the helipad, skimming across the earth three feet above the ground, and then leapt into the air as the aircraft reached translational list – though at the time I had no idea what that was and thought the pilot was just showing off!

The flight was only 30 minutes but it instilled in me a desire to fly that has lasted my lifetime thus far, and I still want to go flying every day.

Unfortunately, learning to fly a helicopter is a very costly exercise and I knew that I would never be able to afford it. That’s when I decided to combine my desire to join the Army with my desire to fly and, on June 12, 1996, I decided I wanted to fly Black Hawk Helicopters in the Army. The rest, as they say, is history.

How have you enjoyed military life, which involves plenty of moving around?

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Army and have no intention of leaving while ever I can contribute in a meaningful way.

As you can see from what I have said above, I have deployed many times and done many different jobs in Australia and all over the world. I don’t get tired of deploying because it’s one of the reasons I joined the Army.

I know that I have made a difference, whether it’s saving lives as part of an aeromedical evacuation team, delivering aide and supplies to communities and nations devastated by natural disasters, or facilitating support to soldiers in the field. When people ask me about my career in Army, I generally tell them I have been blessed.

The moving around is part of Army life and I joined the Army knowing that I would be required to move often. It does mean I have lived in many locations in Australia and overseas, and as part of that I have made many friends.

It can be difficult for families, and that is not lost on me in this day and age, but I am fortunate that my wife is also in Army, and

together we understand the demands of service life.

There are many avenues of support available to both Defence members and their families to assist when the serving member has to relocate due to posting, which don’t always reduce the turmoil of a move to zero, but it certainly helps.

What does Anzac Day mean to you?

Anzac Day to me is a day when all Australians should come together to remember not only those individuals who have died in service to their country, but those who have served and continue to serve today.

We traditionally associate Anzac Day with the Gallipoli campaign, and while the name has its roots in that campaign, it has come to mean so much more now.

There are generations of ANZACs. As I said to the officers and soldiers of the Timor Leste Aviation Group I commanded in 2010/2011 before we completed our mission, “You are the next generation of ANZACs.” While many may debate the efficacy of ‘the spirit of ANZAC’, the legacy of that name and that idea lives on in all our officers and soldiers.

What or who do you think about, or remember, on Anzac Day? On Anzac Day I think about the ‘original’ ANZACs – those who served in the Gallipoli campaign – and what they must have endured.

I think of the courage and sacrifice of those individuals and what it must have been like to have your mates killed beside you in the trenches.

I think of my friends who have been killed on operations and of their families left behind.

I think about the deployments I have been on and the people I have served with; I remember both the serious times and the light-hearted times of those deployments.

I think of my own family who have served and my friends who continue to serve.

Anzac Day is about remembering the good and the bad; it’s about celebrating the lives of those who have died in conflict and honouring the sacrifice they have made, and it’s about remembering those in the service who have died independent of conflict.

Anzac Day and the marches that occur around the country are an outward display of what it means to serve for those who participate in the march.

For those who watch the march it is an opportunity to show their support and gratitude for those who have served and those who continue to serve.

IN THE NEWS Twelve-year domestic violence report shows no improvement

PIONEER HONOURED WITH BLUE PLAQUE

THE NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research released a new report on April 13 about the trends in domestic and family violence from July 2008 to June 2020.

According to victim survey results and police recorded crime statistics, the occurrence of domestic and family violence-related assaults had remained stable over the 12 years.

Just over half of people who experienced an incident of domestic or family violence reported the incident to police.

This proportion also remained stable over the recorded years.

Push to raise JobSeeker payments to $70 a day TACKLING the issue of JobSeeker payments, The Australian Council of Social Service have posed a question to all candidates and parties for the upcoming Federal Election – could they live on $46 a day?

ACOSS raised the question as part of their push for the rate of JobSeeker to be raised to $70 a day.

Currently, 1.5 million people live on JobSeeker, with ACOSS polling in November showing there was broad support among voters for a rate raise.

“JobSeeker is just $46 a day, and completely inadequate to cover basic costs. And yet, neither the ALP nor the Coalition have committed to increasing these payments,” ACOSS CEO Cassandra Goldie said.

“People on JobSeeker must not be treated as a political football.

It’s unacceptable they appear to be caught up in a scare campaign on budget deficits.

“How can anyone claim to care about the cost of living without addressing the inadequacy of JobSeeker, which is not enough to cover the cost of food, rent and essential medication?” she questioned.

“And how can the major parties commit to spending $16 billion a year on the stage three tax cuts, most of which goes to people on higher incomes, while condemning millions with least to facing hunger and homelessness?”

By STEPH ALLEN

Nancy Bird Walton in 2004.

A recognisable Narromine name has been honoured with one of 17 Blue Plaques – designed to recognise the state’s most memorable people, events and stories.

Nancy Bird Walton, a pioneering pilot and the first Australian woman to fly commercially, was one of those to receive a plaque in the initial round of public nominations.

Ms Walton opened the Aviation Museum around 2002, and a street in Narromine also features her name.

Known as the ‘Angel of the Outback’, Ms Walton received her pilot’s licence at 18 in 1933.

Narromine Aero Club, the oldest aviation organisation in the country, helped her get her first aircraft, which she flew in a tour of regional NSW. Ms Walton purchased the historic landmark homestead ‘Mungeribar’ in Narromine in the 1970s, returning often to the town to visit as a special guest after she moved to Sydney.

Ms Walton passed away in 2009 at 93 years old.

Health care system struggling to meet staffing demand THE Australian Private Hospitals Association (APHA) has called for major parties to prioritise fixing the health workforce shortage for the upcoming Federal Election.

APHA CEO Michael Roff said the biggest challenge facing Australian health care was the shortage of health care professionals.

“With no skilled migration for two years due to international travel restrictions and a workforce fatigued from the stress of managing COVID-19, the health care system is struggling to meet demand,” he said.

“Any health policy announcements made during the election campaign will be meaningless without a plan to immediately fix the health workforce shortages.

“We are facing large backlogs in essential surgery across both public and private hospitals, and without skilled migration to address the immediate shortage, Australians will be forced to wait longer, with ever decreasing quality of life, to get the surgery they need.”

He said the shortfall of around 5500 nurses in the private hospital sector had created an urgent need for at least 1000 skilled migrant nurses just for private hospitals.

“We also know there will be increased demand for registered nurses in aged care.

Everyone supports more nurses in aged care, but unless these shortages are addressed, neither hospitals nor aged care will have a sustainable workforce,” Mr Roff said.

Mr Roff said the APHA was calling on both major parties to adopt three short-

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

term measures to address the immediate shortage.

“Firstly, a new government must reduce the red tape and cost to employers of sponsoring health professionals as skilled migrants, so we are calling for a 12-month moratorium on charges to employers for health care-related skilled migration,” he said.

“Secondly, we need a relaxation of onerous visa conditions to allow greater flexibility in how skilled migrant health workers can work in line with their qualifications.

“Finally, reinstating a pathway to permanent residency will provide an added incentive to move to Australia for a workforce in high global demand and ensure investments in this workforce by both government and employers are not lost to Australia.

“To address longer term issues Australia must have a National Health Workforce Plan and we call on both major parties to commit to develop such a plan. While a comprehensive plan will take time to complete, this work must begin and be resourced as a matter of urgency.”

Mr Roff said medium-term strategies to build the health care workforce should look at fast-tracking training for students and early career professionals; taking advantage of the training opportunities available in the private sector and making it easier and affordable for people to train and re-enter the health workforce.

The Birrany and Malungan Program will be delivered to students thanks to $254,000 in funding.

Development program connecting kids to culture at Taronga Zoo

YEAR eight and nine Dubbo students will be provided with mentoring opportunities and insights into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture through a Wiradjuri Country initiative at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. A new development program, the Birrany and Malungan Program, will be delivered to students thanks to funding of $254,000.

The program would involve young people’s participation in activities which provide training in key focus areas of animal husbandry and care, horticulture and hospitality.

“Students can choose a key focus area and work with the Taronga Training Institute to gain a certificate of attainment which can later lead to a qualification in their chosen area,” a government spokesperson said.

“This program will improve school engagement and enhance skills for employment by building confidence in identity, teaching students about Aboriginal culture and a range of skills, including how to care for and protect a range of Australian Native Wildlife.”

The Minister for Education and Early Learning said the program’s hands-on conservation and animal care activities will help students build community involvement, cultural knowledge, and a connection to Country.

“The Birrany and Malungan program will help initiate clear pathways to employment or further training and help to re-engage students with education to overcome the patterns of disadvantage,” the Minister said.

“Each student will also receive a discounted 12-month Youth at the Zoo membership to support ongoing engagement and training opportunities.

The program will begin on April 27 and will be delivered by Taronga Western Plains Zoo Community and Cultural team.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

By AARON HILL FANTASTIC Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is directed by David Yates, and Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful, dark wizard Gellertt Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world.

Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards and witches. They soon encounter an array of old and new beasts as they clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers.

The first movie was pretty decent, I liked the first one. The second one was very disappointing, so I was very worried going into this film expecting the worst.

But I’ll be honest, when it comes to this movie... it was much better than Crimes of Grindelwald, but that doesn’t mean it’s the greatest movie in the Harry Potter franchise.

Eddie Redmayne is really good

INSANITY STREAK

THE SPATS

as Newt Scamander once again, but Dan Fogler as a JJacob steals the show again just like the other two films. I love Jude Law as Albus DumbleL dore, I thought he really d nailed the role. Unfortuna nately, nate for the rest of the characters, I thought they were forgettable, I didn’t know many of the characters. Mads Mikkelsen who now plays Grindelwald, I felt nothing from his character, he feels like another villain whom we’ve never seen before. I like Mads in other films, but as Grindelwald, I felt like the recast just didn’t work for me I liked the sets, and some of the magic effects, I loved the moving images in newspapers and posters, that’s some attention to detail for the Harry Potter movies.

In conclusion, I felt like that this movie just didn’t hit for me, but I’m glad the Harry Potter films got a 3rd Fantastic Beasts movie. And I’m giving this one a 5/10. *Aaron Hill is a local Dubbo film-buff.

THE THUMBS

 Thumbs Up to the great nurses in the Dialysis unit at

Dubbo Hospital. They have been so short-staffed and yet we patients still receive the best possible treatment.

Thank you to all the nurses.



Thumbs Up to Tijana from the Dubbo Photo News for being so kind, friendly and caring during an interview about Endometriosis disease.



Thumbs Down to litterers. I regularly walk along Douglas Mawson Drive and it’s disappointing and disheartening when you see rubbish and litter (primarily fast food packaging, cigarette packets and plastics) strewn on the nature strip all along the length of the road. What is particularly galling is the indifference with which many litterers act. It’s enough that we have to deal with the challenges of climate change, let alone a litter problem that, unlike climate change, is so easily solvable by changing attitudes.

 Thumbs Up to Archie Roach, what a legend, what

a concert, what an honour to have this great Australian perform in Dubbo.

most beautiful creams. It was only my second facial in my long life so I was overcome at the enjoyment of my experience. I encourage you to try it for yourself.



Thumbs Down to the lack of cafes and restaurants in Dubbo on a Sunday. It would be a disgrace in a small town in the outback, let alone a city that markets itself as the premier inland tourism destination. Appalling, during a very busy Easter period.



Thumbs Down to the lack of service at one local food outlet. It was packed on the weekend before Easter, but it took too long for one of the staff to serve us, while another was out back too busy looking at her phone.



Thumbs Up to the Liberal National government under Scott Morrison for capably guiding us through the last couple of years. Also thanks to Mark Coulton for his boundless energy representing the whole Parkes Electorate and the amazing amount of things he has done across the entire, very large area.





Thumbs Up to the farmer and his son who helped us out by giving us a push when we became stuck in the mud near Coolbaggie Creek. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.



Thumbs Up to Jason at Kmart. My son has Down Syndrome and he was having a bad day. Jason brightened his day by giving him a high five and talking to him. My thanks to Jason for his customer service and politeness.

Thumbs Up to the city’s public high school teachers who keep fronting up week after week, despite being let down by the education department who deny there are issues that need to be fixed.

Thumbs Down to all the well-off Dubbo people posting their photos at Melbourne’s F1 Race. It must be nice to be rich, but don’t rub it into the faces of those people who have spent the last two years struggling financially.



Thumbs Up to Skye Jones who’s followed her dad Ewen into the fire brigade at Narromine. It really shows that kids learn from the dedication to community service that’s shown by their parents.



Thumbs Up and congratulations to Dee, Nicole and Madalyn from Itty Bitty Spa and Beauty. My daughter and I enjoyed a beautiful sensory experience as our face, neck and decoupage was treated to layers and layers of the

CAROL Dickson, Deb Wright and Kathleen Ryan are committee members of The Dubbo Wig Library Volunteers and were invited to attend a rowing session of the Dubbo Dragon Boat Races to give a short presentation about the service they provide to the community.

The presentation was also a chance to show the Drag-

The Dubbo Wig Library Volunteers rely totally on donations to carry out their services of providing wigs to female clients who are undergoing any medical treatment that results in hair loss.

The volunteers organise appointments with the client, help them choose a wig from the organisation’s wig library, they then style and fit the wig and provide a care kit to maintain the wig during its use – all this at no charge to the client.

It’s an incredible service just when people are at their most vulnerable and most

Stations of the Cross

By John Ryan Photos by KEN SMITH FOR more than 30 years, Dubbo’s St Brigid’s Parish has conducted the devotional walk, Stations of the Cross, at Mug-

ga Hill and under blue skies and boasting perfect weather, almost 400 people attended this year’s pilgrimage. Some attendees began their pilgrimage from St Brigid’s Catholic Church in the city centre, others drove to the Mugga Hill site

of the event. This ecumenical commemoration of the Passion of Christ is all about having faith according to St Brigid’s parish priest Father Greg Kennedy. “We proclaim our faith in the one Lord who suffered and died for us,” he said.

Easter bunny’s special school visit

By SALLY YOUNG

NOT even the wet weather could stop the intrepid Easter Bunny hopping in for a visit to Dubbo Public School’s Kinder-Year 2 classes to celebrate the season earlier this month. The children showed off their beautiful Easter hats for their friends and

teachers and families, who all enjoyed the special occasion.

Everyone was delighted when the Easter Bunny made a special appearance and then it was hats off for a lovely long lunch with loads of yummy Easter treats on offer, which helped raise funds for the school’s P&C. Happy Easter, all!

Morris E, the chick magnet

By JOHN RYAN When Bob Elliott drove into the recent Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee he got plenty of looks in his vintage Morris ute, painted a blue as bright as a Saharan sky at noon.

The Morris was at the head of a convoy of English cars the avid Dubbo collector owns, all those vehicles just a bit out of the norm for the local event.

“This is a bit later in shape, the 1940s, they’re called a Morris E series,” Mr Elliott told Dubbo Photo News.

“They were fairly common in a sedan or saloon type configuration, this one’s fairly rare because it’s a ute.

It’s been all done up, there’s been some modifications to it.”

Bob said he enjoys collecting cars that are off-beat or just that little bit different.

“I’ve got the Morris vehicles because they’re English.

I’ve got a ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s Morris but I’ve also got a few Renaults which are really, sort of, French – the French are very differ-

ent when it comes to car design.”

But he says he doesn’t make the monthly trip to Victoria Park just to give his vehicles a run, or even just to check out some other Sunday drivers.

“It’s not just about cars, it’s about people catching up, people getting together and it’s a great catch-up.

“All these cars here are mine,” Bob said, adding that family had travelled long disttances to enjoy the day too. “My brother-in-law has come from Gosford, and my brother is from the middle of Queensland – this is the first time I’ve seen him in 30 years, and he’s driving a little Morris.

“You get family coming for the day and you meet up with a lot of people you haven’t seen for ages, and you also meet a lot of new people,” Bob continued, describing Dubbo’s Cars and Coffee as “a great day out”.

He loves the fact you can walk up to anyone standing in front of a car, and whether it’s their car or not, they’ll be on for the chat.

“You can say anything you like except criticise that car – you can criticise the person,” he laughed.

Mr Elliott believes Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee is regarded by many people as their monthly ‘mental health’ day where they can just chill out. Everyone can have a conversation about anything, from the basics relating to cars right down to discussions about deeper issues where people may get relief just by talking with a mate.

“You don’t have to join any-

thing, you can come if you want, or not, you can stay for as long or as little as you want, and I think the venue is just superb.”

He described the experience of driving one of his cars through the park as “a bit like being in a fashion parade – all eyes are on you”.

“Let’s hope it continues,” he said. “Cars and Coffee is a great event.

“Don’t forget to write in the article that my little Morris ute is a chick-magnet,” he laughed.

MEET THE BOSS

CBM Computers owner Nasser Sedghi How did you get started at CBM Computers?

When I moved to Dubbo 35 years ago, I took a position with Grace Brothers (Myers today) in the finance department, but Myer wasn’t something I wanted to do for a long time. I was always ambitious, always wanting to progress, to use my study and abilities in different ways.

After consulting with some friends and family 26 years ago, technology and computers were booming. Personal PCs were a novelty and I thought, that is the future.

I was completing my accountancy here as well, then I took this path. Our kids were quite young. It was a business that was needed, and we were one of the first.

Can we live without technology?

The development of technology is fascinating. It is something that’s mind boggling because development comes from different directions. It doesn’t come from one source. It is so vast and developing so fast which is very hard to catch up with.

One technology that’s good today, is obsolete in six months’ time. That is the world we’re in. Who was thinking that the mobile phone 10 or 20 years ago, was going to be so much in use?

Now, we need it. We can’t live without it.

We’re at the stage that there is no way out of it. We must accept and learn with it.

Do you help people do that?

There are generations who have not been brought up with technology which makes it hard to adapt, but everyone according to his or her capacity they are adjusting. It is not necessary that everyone needs to be tech-savvy and learn everything.

Mostly our customers are home users and

small business.

One of the strengths we’ve got is that we provide everything, service, repair, maintenance. Technology is there, but in many cases, people need support. They just need help to start or be put on the right track. Overall, that’s crucial to be able to help. We help lots of seniors and charity organisations.

We can help with commonly used soft and hardware.

You are Baha’i, how does your faith inform your business?

The compatibility of science and religion is one of the most important parts of the Baha’i faith. That means scientific development and technology must be compatible.

Also, work and service to the community are the foundation of the Baha’i teachings.

It is important in accounts and business ethics. It is really part of your daily living.

It is inspirational for anything I do in my life, from giving back to the community, offering service as much as I can, integrating with the community. It’s one of the main reasons we moved to Dubbo from Sydney to integrate with a wider community with different cultures and beliefs which lead to my involvement in organising multicultural festivals and things like that. It has been such a pleasure to be part of that.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

I want to acknowledge the important role of my wife, Farzaneh, both in the business and in our work in the community.

We consider wife and husband being like one soul in two bodies which complement each other.

CBM Computers, Dubbo, owner Nasser Sedghi.

Dubbo welcomes icon Archie Roach Contributed by DRTCC

MANY a legendary artist has graced the stage of the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre over the years, but living legend Archie Roach is certainly one of Australia’s most revered and loved of performers, and so it was no surprise that patrons gathered from near and far to be in the audience when he came to town recently.

With a stellar career as not only a musician and gifted lyricist, but an First Nations leader, advocate and humanitarian, Archie shared his gift of storytelling through his songs and interaction with the audience, which gave him a standing ovation at the conclusion of the concert.

Tree planting boosts river health

By KEN SMITH

THE Wambuul-Macquarie River and native fish were given a boost as nearly 1000 native trees and shrubs were planted along the river earlier this month, with a tree planting day organised by OzFish in partnership with Taronga Western Plains Zoo and Dubbo Rivercare.

Lending a helping hand

were 37 people from the community who planted trees along the zoo’s river frontage, near the South Dubbo fishway-weir. The trees will provide food, shade and eventually shelter for fish. Trees also help to filter water runoff, control erosion, and stimulate the food web of the river by providing sticks and leaves that biofilms can grow

on – shrimp and water bugs eat the biofilm, and these are food for fish. OzFish is a notfor-profit organisation of recreational fishers who restore fish habitat, as better habitat means better fishing!

OzFish runs the River Repair Bus and has lots of opportunities for volunteers to get involved.

Check out ozfish.org.au or phone 1800 431 308.

Kombis, Toyotas and Fords, oh my!

By JOHN RYAN

Photos by KEN SMITH ALL roads led to Dubbo during the Easter Weekend as car clubs converged on the city. The Kombi Club of Australia staged its national gathering and welcomed hundreds of local Kombi fans at a Kombi’s and Coffee event in Victoria Park after a CBD cruise. Organiser Deb Tate told Dubbo Photo News it was great to be able to stage the weekend after Covid postponed a prior attempt at visiting the city. The Toyota Nationals once again saw dozens of classics from the

automotive giant descend on Dubbo, the weekend culminating in drag races at Bodangora. One of the lesser-known vehicles, the XY-only four-wheel-drive utes, way ahead of their time, also staged a national event in Dubbo. And we’re covering the huge diversity of vehicles at the Morris event on some other pages in this week’s Dubbo Photo News. Dubbo’s central location and accommodation offerings, not to mention the public green spaces for displays, is cementing the city’s reputation as the go-to capital for car events.

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

MEGA MAZE

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

SUDOKU EXTRA

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

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

STRANGE BUT TRUE z Now, here’s a good reason not to neglect checking your spam email folder from time to time: In the U.S., a Michigan woman bought a lottery ticket online but forgot about it until, opening said folder days later in search of a missing message, discovered that she’d won $3 million. z In 1985, a sting operation by U.S. law enforcement officials, dubbed Operation Flagship, mailed letters offering free tickets for Washington Redskins games to fugitive criminals.

More than 100 arrests resulted, including two of America’s top 10 most wanted. z In 2007, Ben Carpenter got the most terrifying ride of his life when his wheelchair’s handles were caught in the grill of a semi-trailer. Carpenter was pushed for several kilometres at a speed of over 100km/h before a pair of police officers followed the truck

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION to its place of business and informed the stunned driver. The chair’s wheels had to be replaced, but Ben survived without injury. z FedEx’s founder nearly bankrupted his company with a Las Vegas trip, in which he used the corporation’s last $5000 to play blackjack. Fortunately, he managed to turn the sum into $27,000 and keep things running until he obtained more funding. z The movie “Babe” required one animatronic and 48 real pigs, due to their rapid growth rate. z Remember playing “Simon Says” in your youth? In France, it’s called “Jack Says”; in Norway “The King Commands”, in Japan “Teacher Says”, and in Ireland “O’Grady Says”. z In 1920, Anoka, Minnesota, became the first U.S. city to put on a Halloween celebration, in an effort to distract kids from playing Halloween pranks.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

z A great idea for mini ice packs: Freeze sauce packets you get from takeaway food.

They are great for icing small bumps or bug bites. z Spread a teaspoon of peanut butter thinly on a paper plate. Then when the dog is busy with its treat, you can trim its nails. Or sometimes just having it nearby as a promised treat can do the trick to distract your pet. Good luck! z “One of the things I do each autumn and spring is to go through my makeup and toss the old items. I also restock my first-aid kit and get new bottles of sunscreen and bug spray to keep in my car kit, so I will always have it around.” – E.A. z Do you love beans but trying to save a little money? Don’t

be intimidated by dry beans; just rinse them and chuck them in the slow cooker. Add water according to package directions and cook on low for up to eight hours. After they cool, you can bag them in freezersafe, zipper-top bags and freeze them for easy use later. z “On a health kick: Step one is to keep a food and activity diary for a week. You can get an idea of what you eat, what times of the day you are overeating and the areas where you can make improvements.

Knowledge is power!” – V.R. z Contributor J.D. writes: Mix 1/2 cup vinegar and a chamomile tea bag in a pan of medium hot water. Let cool enough so that it’s okay to touch and then soak feet for up to 10 minutes. Follow up with foot powder or deodorant.

Club Dubbo to host richest tournament

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL BOWLERS will be rolling up to West Dubbo in November for a share in $100,000 in prize money.

The City of Dubbo International Bowls Tournament to be hosted

by Club Dubbo will be the world’s richest Fours tournament.

The ‘BCiB City of Dubbo International Fours’ has been given a Tier 3 ranking by bowls Australia and will attract men and women vying for a share in the spoils.

“We expect to attract the cream of local, NSW, interstate, and possibly international lawn bowlers,” was the word from Club Dubbo Bowls Manager Anthony Brown.

“The tournament, to be held from November 3-5 has already received widespread support from Zone 4, Bowls NSW, Women’s Bowls NSW, Bowls Australia, Dubbo Regional Council as well as by State and Federal members.”

The event is open to the first 42 entries, with a first prize of $30,000 and prizes going down to the 24th position.

“Club Dubbo considers it has a responsibility to not only promote the game of bowls to a wider audience but also to showcase the city of Dubbo and surrounding region as a premium entertainment and hospitality destination,” Club Dubbo President Tony Spiers said.

“Matches and particularly the finals will be live streamed across the world which will provide great

benefits to the game and to the city of Dubbo,” he added.

“The ‘City of Dubbo International Fours’ has attracted a naming rights sponsor in BCiB, an insurance brokerage company that specialises in providing insurance to bowling clubs across Australia.”

BCiB employs Australian representative bowlers, former world

champions, and Commonwealth Games gold medallists Karen Murphy AM, Steve Glasson OAM and Kelvin Kerkow OAM. “These three are legends of the game and have committed to attend the tournament. These players are huge draw cards for other rising stars while bowlers from all over will be keen to play with and against players of such calibre,”

Ant Brown said.

Two other local companies have also agreed to become major sponsors. David Payne Constructions and Western Plains Automotive are already generous benefactors and Club Dubbo is delighted to have these two great sponsors on board.

CYMS keeper-batsman Tom Coady was awarded the Herb Whitney Memorial Trophy after reaching the highest representative level.

The young man’s determination to reach his potential has been obvious since he began in Under 9s and has resulted in selection at Country level where he has competed successfully against the best in NSW and Australia.

Sadly, Tom missed out on the Whitney Cup final when his CYMS teammates downed RSL Colts. The keeper forfeited his place after suffering a shoulder injury however was fit enough to play in an Under 19s match in Canberra the following week.

Tom blasted a century to prove his fitness and etch his name into selectors notepads.

Referees make huge contribution

DUBBO Touch has an abundance of referees after a well-executed strategy of training and development.

With over 400 juniors, seven grades of mixed and five of Mens in the Summer season, there would be a massive ask if the Association had only a few men and women to blow the whistle. But the well-run sporting organisation

DUBBO LADIES FACED SOME GIANTS

By GEOFF MANN THE Dubbo City Ladies No.1 Pennant side played at Forster Bowling Club last month and finished third in their Section.

Winning against Cudgen Leagues, North Ryde RSL and Spingwood, yet losing against Taren Point and Cabramatta (who were the eventual winners).

In the Cabramatta game Annette McMillan’s opposing skip was Scottish International Kay Moran (gold medalist in comm games). Beryl Hobson’s opposing 3rd was Ellen Falkner MBE English international. Given a better rink the result would have been closer.

Easter a time of diversity for Sundee Bowls Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’

NO eggs for the 28 rollers on this Christian celebration Sunday as friends took time out for the Sundy ritual – 500 steps and 48 times up and down the rink!

Ron Morrison, John Cole and Kevin Scott v Leo Balstrad, Julie Brown and John Hayden.

Leo has been quite intent lately. He really wants to take that trophy at the end of the year.

Putting him together with John Hayden (he has an 86 per cent success as a skip) and Julie adds up to quite a team. They collected six shots on the very first end to set the tone and cruised to a 26 to 8, 12 ends to 4, strong win.

Shirley Marchant, Karen Greenhalge and Col Dover combined to give Sue McAuley, Dave Davis and Annette McMillan a hard time. Annette has been away over at State Championships recently but happy to be back on home

turf. Col and his lot led 5-4 at end 6, but the next two belonged to Annette’s team who established a comfy three shot lead. OMG, it’s happened to other teams, now it’s happened to Sue, Dave and the skip – the damn wheels fell “offa” the trolley! For four ends they were stuck on the 8 while the others calmly took the opportunities to amass 9 shots and lead 14 to 8. Shirley and Karen and Col went on to win 18 shots to 10.

Ricky See pops in from time to time and does the ‘win-a-game’ thing. Last Sundy his designer team was made up of Roger Sherwin (also back from a period off), and Ross Pharo who squared off against Ron McAuley, Pete Bennison and Gordon Scott. Pete had a strong game the previous week, Gordon was eyeing off one of the tournaments happening next month and Ron – well he just plods on, and on and on! Together this combination showed how

it’s done, a 7 score on the second end of the game is certainly showing off. Four more blew it out to 11-1 by end 4 but the three ‘R’s’ were not to be outdone.

Roger got his game going, rolling bowls that most would be proud of, Ross did what good follow-up bowlers do while Rick steered his crew onwards. Three shots at 5, a couple of twos and they were within cooee, just 3 shots down and hunting. Some teams suffer from an affliction called ‘second half trauma’, where the team stalls, the scoring slows and almost ceases to exist.

Gordon’s team were struck by this, scoring only two single shot ends for the whole of the second half. Their coach was nowhere to be seen! Their opponents hammered away, rolling bowl after bowl to score on six of the eight second half ends. Rubbing salt into the wounds, they put together a score of five on the final end

to record a 22 to 14 win, 10 ends to 6.

Cheryl Storch, Pete Ruzans and Deb Hayden started their game slowly, allowing Chris Strojny, Gaye Cottee and Tod O’Dea to build confidence as they raced to a 6-nil lead after four ends. Chris was getting his eye in – oops, getting his bowl in, Gaye was doing well and Tod was being Tod! Cheryl began to master the green; Pete bowled a few while Deb finalized the ends with some very good bowls. Yet again we saw a game where the wheels of the wagon strayed – fall off, torn asunder. Deb’s team squared the game at 6 all by end 8, and continued on albeit under the pressure imposed by Tod and his team end by end; the game became one of high intensity with Tod’s side leading by two at end 11, Deb and her duo were not giving in – a three score at end 12 gave them the lead by one and

they didn’t look back, scoring til the end. The 15 shots to 9 win was a good result to an entertaining game.

Kathy Edwards came back to synthetics and teamed with Col Cottee against Ruby Stockings and Greg Brown. Six shots on the first two ends gave Greg and Ruby some heart but Kathy eventually found the right weight after grass greens. Ruby and Greg picked up two on the last but with a couple of ends to roll, the pressure was overbearing. 15 to 12 with one end left but Kathy and Col couldn’t pull a rabbit and went down by 1 shot.  Winners – Leo Balstrad, Julie Brown and John Hayden with 30 points.  Runners up – Roger Sherwin, and Ricky See with 18 points.  Resters – Col Cottee, Shirley Marchant and Karen Greer

Easter Golf

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL

GLORIOUS weather and a superbly prepared course made for an excellent weekend of golf at ‘Royal’ Dubbo.

The gala days began on Thursday with the annual Marty Gordon Memorial Tournament and the Ladies weekly competition.

On Good Friday social members, visitors and more serious golfers teed off in the annual Easter round.

Sat and Sun the course was abuzz with the sound of woods and irons and the tweets of birds and the occasional eagle as players fought for the Macquarie Cup. The long weekend rounded out with a mixed medley on Monday before travellers moved on and locals went home to glory in their sub-par efforts or reflect on the rabbit holes they chased their potted balls down!

Crowds flock to turf for Easter

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL THE first Easter race meeting in over a decade attracted families, reunions and regular punters to see Kody Nestor’s return to riding.

Trainer Andrew Ryan scored a double with Life Well Led and Laffing Waters while local Darren Hyde was a popular trainer when he primed Driving Force in the Macca’s 40th Year in Dubbo Class 1 Handicap.

Kenny Dunbar had the crowd on their feet when he drove California Fox to a win in the penultimate race but perhaps the loudest roar was saved for Grant Buckley and All Words in the last.

Former Nyngan trainer Brett Robb who is never lost for one was full of beans when All Words flew home to take the Spivey Chicken and wrap up a superb afternoon at the track.

Laffing Waters (Ashleigh Stanley) flew home to beat Digger’s Reach and Our Boy Malcolm in Race 5.

Winter sports start this weekend Oceans 80: Grace Gilbert, Julie Pauling and Holly Holden-Stewart.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

By GEOFF MANN “OCEAN’S 80” is the NSW Sportsman Enduro Kart championship’s only all-female team and features Grace Gilbert who grew up in Dubbo and honed her skills at the city’s Lincoln Park Raceway.

According to the team it started in 2018 with the initiative to bring more females into the growing NSW SEK Kart Championship and has since continued to grow and thrive.

Today the team hosts three vastly experienced drivers – Sydney based driver Julie Pauling and Newcastle based university students Grace Gilbert and Holly Holden-Stewart.

Between the three drivers there’s nearly 40 years of experience driving sprint karts at all levels, as well as endurance karting and various other car racing events.

The 2022 championship opened in February at Canberra Kart Racing Club where the team started

with a bang! The drivers finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a podium after receiving a penalty for coming in 0.5kg underweight during a compulsory mid race weight check.

Media reports were impressive.

“Ocean’s 80 demonstrated a calm, composed approach to driving in the six-hour race”.

Last weekend the Ocean’s 80 team competed in round 2 of the SEK NSW Championship at Manning Valley Kart Club, Wingham.

The team delivered an outstanding performance in the 12-hour race.

“After qualifying in 7th place we were unfortunately sent to the rear of the grid (14th place) due to a penalty so we decided to make the kart more mechanically reliable throughout the 12-hour Enduro,” Grace told Dubbo Photo News.

“Ocean’s 80 demonstrated our obvious pace by moving quickly from 14th to 5th within the first 40 minutes of the race on the tra-

ditionally challenging-to-overtake layout of the anti-clockwise configuration of the Manning Valley Kart Club circuit,” Grace added.

“We maintained this high position throughout the remainder of the race whilst nursing severe understeering issues from excessive front tyre degradation.”

Ocean’s 80 finished one of the longest races of the year in sixth place and with a flat front tyre.

The team is heading into round 3 of the 8-round championship, with remaining rounds at Newcastle (24 April), Port Macquarie (12 June), Orange (17 July), Sydney (21 August), Grenfell (2 Octo-

ber) and Lithgow (13 November).

“Ocean’s 80 is equal 4th in the championship with two other teams. We are aiming to finish in the top 3 of the 2022 SEK NSW Kart Championship, however, due to the lasting effects of Covid-19 the team has struggled to obtain the financial support needed to compete in all the remaining rounds this year,” Grace explained.

Anyone interested in supporting the team can contact them via their social media accounts (@Oceans80SEKkartracingteam on Facebook and Instagram).

“Any support would be greatly appreciated”.

CENTRAL West Rugby Union, Castlereagh League, AFL and local football competitions are underway from Sat while the Western Premier League soccer and Peter McDonald Cup as well as Group XI competitions continue.

Junior and senior netball, hockey, tennis, bowls, croquet, Ultimate Frisbee, touch are only a few days away while Dubbo Cycling and Athletics Clubs remain active throughout the autumn and winter months as participants strive to be the best they can be.

As the show circuit ramps up across the west expect plenty of equestrian events, wood chopping and the like while gallops, trots and greyhound enthusiasts will be well catered for in coming months.

Motorsports, be they karts, bikes or speedway cars are all on the agenda and lesser known sports such as archery, pistol, rifle and trap and sporting hunters are also available.

Ian Borland told Dubbo Photo News.

More than 800 enjoyed the afternoon warmups and full moon and were treated to a night of great racing, with over 30 events.

“Once again we had drivers converge on Dubbo from all over NSW, which was great for our club but also for Dubbo, given that many people stay in town and spend time and money locally,” Ian added.

The Central West of NSW is home to the some of the very best racers

in the NSW and nationally and they showed that on Saturday.

“Our always competitive, ‘Don’t call me veteran, Dubbo Racer Mark Blyton claimed victory in the wingless sprints, followed by Bayley Goodwin and Darryl Marshall.”
