GUITAR MAN ON A MISSION

DYNAMIC DUO DIVING TO TEACH The best wayto reach more locals!

CASTLES IN THE AIR

By JEN COWLEY

IF you think art is something that should be observed and philosophised over from a refined distance, think again.

Take a wander down Macquarie Street at any time of the day or night – that’s right, any time – and you’ll be able to not only see but touch, feel and hear the shape of things to come in the public art space.

Sky Castles is a light installation that looks simply like a crop of in-

flatable arches all grouped together, but it’s more. So much more.

Step up to the arches, and they light up and start to sing. Move around and through, touching them as you go, and both the song and the colours change, responding like a giant chameleon to the flow of human interaction.

The rainbow hued spectacle at night, with children running in and around and through the arches bringing the sound to a crescendo is nothing short of joyful.

And that’s just what Kim Hague, manager of regional events for Dubbo Regional Council, was hoping from the unique piece of public art.

It has been, and is, Kim’s pleasure to coordinate the Sky Castles installation, which is on display in Dubbo for a month as part of the Dream Festival celebrations.

“It’s been one of the most favourite projects I’ve worked on in a long time,” says Kim. “It’s one of those things that we saw and immediately recognised just how

much Dubbo and the community would love this interactive art installation, but I didn’t realise just how much people would engage with it, how many would visit, how much they would all talk about it and share their photos.

“I can’t tell you how many people have sent me photos and contacted me to say, 'How great is this for Dubbo?'. People have just loved engaging with it, and I know people who have come down to see it not just once, but a number of times at all times of the day.

Such radiant feedback makes for a nice change, and Kim says it reflects the joy Sky Castles brings to visitors.

There’s some pretty funky technology involved in generating that joy.

The sound and lights change according to the interaction of people weaving in and out through the installation, thanks to sensors placed in the centre of each of the Sky Castles.

Students eligible for scholarships

DUBBO’S youth are supported to further their education with the Youth Development Scholarship program.

Eligible students are encouraged to apply for a $1000 grant to advance their studies and further training.

Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said the funding is focused to provide necessities to support learning, including textbooks, IT equipment, and internet access.

Students eligible for the scholarships must be living in social housing or on the housing register, receiving private rental subsidy from DCJ, or living in supported accommodation or out-of-home care.

The scholarship program is open to students from year 10 to 12 in high school, or TAFE equivalent.

Sky Castles making public art dance to

“As people move through, those sensors pick up that movement and the lights change and the music plays as a result. So the more people who are interacting with the installation, the more it changes meaning that each experience is different.”

You can literally make the art dance to your own tune – that’s the beauty of an interactive display such as Sky Castles, and it was that feature Kim recognised as something that would strike a chord with Dubbo audiences.

Sky Castles is quietly overseen by ‘round-theclock security, necessitated by a desire for the entire community to be able to access and enjoy it.

“The whole point of having this temporary public art installation open 24 hours a day is that it wasn’t intended to be an event that runs between certain hours,” says Kim. “It’s accessible to everyone.”

Would we ever see similar, more permanent interactive art installations grace our public spaces? If Kim has her way, the answer is yes.

The installation itself, which is from a Melbourne-based company and took Kim ten months to coordinate, is very robust, the point being to have people wander around and touch and feel.

“An interactive art installation is about immersing people – it’s not about standing there and looking but not touching. It’s very tactile and people love that they can touch it, and even put their arms around and “hug” the castles. It’s lovely.”

“I’m a big fan of public art. I’d love to see more of it in Dubbo and council’s cultural team is constantly looking at ways to increase public art in the city.

“It’s something that’s great for people to enjoy, and that adds to the diversity of things to see and do.”

Sky Castles is installed in the space adjacent to Old Dubbo Gaol in Macquarie Street until October 9, when it will be packed up and re-located to Victoria Park where it will again open on October 13.

Outstanding service to community recognised

Woking to get more women in trades

WOMEN make up only two per cent of qualified trade workers in key Australian industries and the state government aims to encourage more women into trades.

Deputy secretary of customer, delivery and transformation William Murphy said pathways for trades will be made easier in support of further training services.

“It’s important we better understand what does and doesn’t work when encouraging women to begin a trade career, especially in a male dominated workplace,” Mr Murphy said.

Executive director of training services NSW David Collins said the ‘Have Your Say’ consultation is seeking to understand what information is most important when people consider recommending a career in trades for women and girls.

“Increasing female participation in the trade workforce is crucial to the economic prosperity for NSW as women play a vital role in addressing skills shortages in key industry areas and occupations,” Mr Collins said.

DUBBO is fortunate to be home to many a dedicated and selfless volunteer, but some particularly outstanding citizens have this week come in for special recognition as part of the NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards.

Ian Wray will be well known to many through his tireless efforts as part of the Vinnies team, so few will be surprised to learn he has been named the 2022 Orana Senior Volunteer of the Year.

Ian not only works in the Vinnies Care and Support team, but he also dedicates much of his free time to the after-hours, oncall service as a driver, as well as co-ordinating furniture donations and Foodbank orders for food parcel donations. And if that’s not enough, he also devotes time to mowing lawns and doing maintenance work for newly settled refugees and organises immigration support, is a volunteer bus driver and is also a Dubbo Rescue Squad volunteer. His latest volunteer project involves sourcing emergency accommodation and storage for belongings for homeless people living in the city.

Ten-year-old Izabelle Kelly has been named the Orana region’s

Young Volunteer of the Year, having led a few volunteer projects that have made a positive impact in her local community and beyond.

At just seven years old, Izabelle convinced her school class to help make more than 100 joey pouches for animals impacted by the Warrumbungle bushfires. More recently, she handmade 200 cards to send to isolated elderly residents during the COVID-19 restrictions and helped her class pack and send 75 pencil cases with stationery to South Lismore Public School children impacted by floods.

Trangie’s Claire Jenkins has been recognised as Adult Volunteer of the Year, an acknowledgement of her dedication to the NSW Cancer Council through the Stars of Dubbo event. Claire’s volunteering focussed on the Crops for Cancer initiative around Warren and Trangie where local farmers were encouraged to give part of their grain harvest to help raise more than $30,000 for cancer treatment, research and patient support.

The awards recognised not just individual but team efforts, with Dubbo’s University of the Third

Age (U3A) Chapter Committee named Volunteer Team of the Year in the Orana region.

Comprising 11 volunteers, the committee ensures that U3A’s 400 local members can access the 30 classes and activities on offer that help break down isolation and build social cohesion. The committee manages finances, enrolments, class timetables, rooms and new memberships as well as coordinating online classes during the COVID-19 restrictions.

On behalf of a grateful community, Dubbo Photo News lates and thanks all these wonderful volunteers for helping to make our great town and region an even better place to live, work and play.

Not ‘appy with petrol pump pain?

THERE’S never been a better time to use technology to help you ease some of the petrol pump pain we’re all feeling in Dubbo and around the region, so before you fill up next time, check out the free FuelCheck app.

With the fuel excise discount having ended this week, the app could guide you to the servo that has the cheapest fuel, and help save a few precious bucks.

According to the state’s head bean counter, Treasurer Matt Kean, the app can save drivers up to $800 a year, which is significant when cost of living pressures are also biting hard elsewhere.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on local servos, you’ll see that prices vary not only in Dubbo but around the region and certainly compared with the city and coast, so driving that extra few kilometres, or even metres, just might be worth it.

Independently operated servos consistently offer the cheapest fuel, according to Mr Kean, so it’s worth shopping around.

Cow’s that for a cow-lamity

Cows were introduced to North America by accident. Juan Ponce de Leon brought cattle when he landed at Charlotte Harbor in 1521, his second trip to La Florida. When he came under attack, four of his heifers and a bull fled into the scrub, thus introducing cows to that continent.

Guitar man on a mission

A BUSY shopping centre isn’t usually the place you’d expect to hear the dulcet tones of classical guitar, but visitors to Orana Mall this week are in for an unusually relaxing treat, with the added bonus of it all being in a very good cause.

Accomplished musician Murray Mandel will be serenading shoppers with the soothing strains of his performances, and helping bolster the coffers of The Smith Family while he’s at it.

The retired hospital microbiologist of 34 years and former Qigong/Tai Chi instructor of 36 years, has been a “professional fundraising classical guitarist” for the past 14 years, having combined his passion for music with his devotion to helping others.

In 2020, Murray completed a three-year fundraising and awareness tour in aid of LifeLine, which saw him give 409 performances in 156 shopping centres around Australia, raising just over $71,000 for the renowned support organisation.

Now he’s turned his attention to The Smith Family, embarking on a two-year,

tragedy:

claim child’s life

RECENT flooding has taken a tragic toll with the death of a five-year-old boy at Tullamore.

The child’s body was located in a vehicle that was swept away in floodwaters north west of Parkes on the night of Friday, September 23.

Just before 11pm, emergency services were called to McGrane Way at Tullamore following reports two vehicles had been swept into flood waters.

Inquiries revealed the first vehicle – a Toyota Hilux with five occupants –became submerged at the Genaren Creek crossing about 8pm. Four of those people – a 37-year-old man,

a 28-year-old woman and a young boy and girl – managed to get out of the vehicle and were able to cling to trees, however a five-yearold boy became trapped in the car before it submerged.

About three hours later, a second vehicle entered the flooded crossing and submerged.

The occupants managed to free themselves from the car before finding the occupants of the Hilux still clinging to trees.

They alerted emergency services and a multi-agency response was initiated with officers from Central West Police District, NSW SES, NSW Rural Fire Service and NSW Ambulance

paramedics.

A boat was used to rescue the family and they were all taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for observation. The occupants of the second vehicle were uninjured.

Police remained at the scene overnight and a search operation commenced the following day (Saturday 24) to locate and retrieve the Hilux.

At about 3.20pm, police divers located the boy’s body in the submerged vehicle, which has been retrieved and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is underway. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

self-funded odyssey to share the message of the important work the charity does to support some of the nation’s most vulnerable.

It’s a cause close to his heart and says he has always believed education is “extremely important for all children and young people, whether they are living in disadvantage or not”.

“I would love to see all Australian children and young people have the best education possible for the sake for

their future,” Murray says, adding that The Smith Family is playing an important role in helping disadvantaged children and young people to “get the most out of their education. so they can create better futures for themselves”.

During his performances, Murray encourages passers-by to not only stop and enjoy the soothing sounds of his classical guitar, but to contribute if they can to his fundraising efforts.

“The full 100 per cent of do-

nations to The Smith Family are always appreciated – the donations help provide specific programs that support disadvantaged Australian children and young people, and also school essentials.

“I consider it a privilege to help The Smith Family in its work.”

Murray Mandel will be performing at Orana Mall this week from today (Thursday) until Saturday, October 1 with four performances between 10am and 3pm.

Members share a passion for building new, healthier local communities and economies by raising awareness about reducing people’s impact on the planet and leaving a better legacy for future generations. All are welcome.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Macquarie River Masterplan North and South Precincts

Q1. Has Regand Park (in the Macquarie River South Precinct) been allocated for private sporting fields?

No. The Local Government Act requires all public land to be classified as either ‘community’ or ‘operational’ land in accordance with its intended use. (Division 1 Sections 25-34 of the Act).

Regand Park is classified as Operational Land. When purchasing Regand Park – the former dairy paddocks – Council at that time determined that the land was classified as ‘operational’ to allow for more flexible grazing leasing and other operational maintenance agreements in the interim period before it was reclassified and embellished in the future as ‘community land.’

For a community sporting group/ club such as St Johns Junior Rugby League to occupy public land to undertake their activities, under the Local Government Act they would have to undertake that on public land that is classified as ‘Community - categorised as sportsground’. Regand Park is not classified as Community Land and therefore cannot be categorised and used as a ‘sportsground.’

In order for this classification to change, a minimum of 28 days notification and public exhibition of Council’s proposed re-classification would need to be undertaken. Council would also need to develop and have adopted a draft Plan of Management for the land. This is a mandatory requirement of the Local Government Act.

Q2. Has Council given support for any local sporting club to build fields on Regand Park (South Precinct)?

In February 2021 Council provided a letter of support for St Johns Junior Rugby League Football Club as part of an application they were submitting to the State Government for funding. This was based on a resolution of Council from the February 2021 meeting. This application was ultimately successful and the funding was announced by the State Government on 17 December 2021. The letter from the then Mayor welcomed the proposal but with a condition that it is contingent upon Council endorsement of site drawings, technical plans, relevant supporting documentation and approvals.

In a separate funding application made by the local junior rugby league football club to the Federal Government, the CEO provided a letter in early February 2022 that provided advice to the funding agency that the project could take place on community land categorised for sport and this excludes Regand Park. In effect it was advice that what the junior club wanted to do was allowable on community land allocated for sport. It should be noted that there are many more approval steps required both by Council policy and by legislation before a project could be delivered and occupied on community land.

Council subsequently resolved in January and February 2022 to develop a northern and southern Macquarie River Master Plan. This resolution overrides the previous resolution as there is no strategic direction set for Regand Park and there is a requirement for the master planning process to be completed before further consideration by Council on the community usage of Regand Park in the Macquarie River Corridor.

Q3. Why does Council spend money on Master Planning open space?

A Master Plan sets the long terms vision for public land that is to be open space. That empowers technical staff to work on delivering various elements as the need and/or opportunity arises.

Future Councils can consider Master Plan elements when considering future capital works budgets as part of adopting an Operational Plan and budget. This also includes a public consultation process.

For example the Barden Park Regional Athletics Facility Master Plan enabled Council to target grant applications that funded the facility you see now. Another positive outcome is from the previous Regand Park Master Plan that identified the installation of the current riverside shared pathway that goes from Tamworth Street to Macquarie Street (via the weir). It would be unlikely that this shared pathway would have been built without a Master Plan for the area.

A Master Plan can also inform infrastructure contributions plans –charges to developers to ensure community infrastructure keeps pace with population growth. This is particularly important for open space that provides city wide and regional benefits to the population such as the Macquarie River corridor.

Q4. When will community see a draft and final Master Plan for the Macquarie River Master Plan?

Staff are working towards producing a draft Master Plan of the Macquarie River corridor for Council to consider placing on public exhibition for consultation at its December Ordinary meeting 2022. This public consultation from December will be open until the end of February 2023, allowing for additional time over the summer school holidays.

The feedback from the public exhibition will be considered by technical staff and the consultants before producing a final Master Plan for Council’s consideration at a meeting in April 2023.

Q5. Was the Regand Park area previously set aside for purely environmental purposes?

No. In 2018, Council resolved: “That the Regand Park Master Plan be revoked with the exception of environmental related activities such as tree planting.” This resolution was subsequently rescinded by Council at its March 2021 meeting.

Regand Park was classified as ‘operational’ land to allow Council to offer grazing licences over these areas to reduce maintenance costs, as well as undertaking various improvements including environmental rehabilitation and restorations works.

The original adopted Regand Park Master Plan (2013) had identified a circular track cycle facility, like the previous No.1 Oval facility that also included a football field.

Q6. How did Council come to own Regand Park?

Regand Park was a working dairy farm but in 2004 a DA was lodged to develop the dairy farm in to 66 residential lots and one lot as a residue lot that was not suitable for residential development as it was flood prone land.

At the June 2004 Council meeting, Dubbo City Council resolved to purchase the 59.57 hectare lot and classify this as Operational Land. It was noted at the time that this was in line with Council’s adopted 2003/2023 Corporate Strategic Plan which identified that “Council is anxious to extend its ownership of land along the river foreshore in the urban area in order to extend the green river corridor, thus providing future opportunities for both passive and active recreation needs”. Since that initial purchase, Council has made further purchases to arrive at the 71.22 hectares that consists of the Regand Park area.

Q7. Who will make the final decision on what happens with the Master Plan in general and Regand Park specifically?

Decisions of Council are made by a majority of Councillors at Council meetings. Once the master planning process and public consultation processes are completed and the draft plans are displayed and submissions are received, Councillors will vote on the final Master Plan at a Council meeting. Councillors will rely on extensive information from a range of sources to make their decision but the final decision will be made by the group of Councillors.

Stop! It’s not working

Sponsor a child this AntiPoverty Week

MEMBERS of the Dubbo View Club are urging the community to donate during Anti-Poverty Week from Sunday, October 16, by sponsoring a child through the charity the Smith Family.

The Smith Family’s Learning for Life education support program provides families with long term educational, financial, and personal assistance so children have the essentials needed to participate in learning.

President Shirley Stonestreet said sponsoring a child has never been more important.

“With the rising cost of petrol, groceries, and housing, we are hearing from the charity that families are being forced to make impossible decisions about where they spend their dollars each week, leaving children at risk of missing out on basic school items such as uniforms, books, and devices needed for learning,” Ms Stonestreet said.

News it’s the first Stop Work by staff in almost 12 years.

“We’re just worn out, we’re burnt out, the part-time teachers, the workload, the conditions, it’s just been too overwhelming and there is burn-out everywhere,” he said.

“All these teachers here today, they’re saying the same things as me, they’re feeling worn out, broken down, prepared to walk, it’s very very hard and we love our work, we love our jobs, that’s why we’re trying so hard to hopefully change things.

“We want fairer wages, job security, sustainable workloads, and to be able to defend our working conditions, now that’s nothing extreme, that’s nothing ‘out there’, that’s all we want and if you look at the nurses and other public services, we’re in line with them.”

NSW Teachers Federation says for too long the NSW government and TAFE NSW have taken advantage of TAFE teachers’ goodwill to compensate for savage cuts to staff numbers and stagnated funding and explained the indus-

trial action as TAFE teachers have now withdrawn that goodwill and have voted in a protected action ballot to put in place a variety of industrial bans as well as taking stop work action.

“We’re about $7000 to $9000 below parity when compared to schoolteachers, so there is a fair whack of wage difference there as well; but wages alone is not everything, it’s the conditions and our workloads which is hurting us very much,” Mr Allen said.

“All of us here are passionate about our jobs, we’re here because our working conditions are our students’ learning conditions, so put that into perspective and we’re trying so hard to get our students through.

“I know firsthand what TAFE enabled me to do. I came out the other side with a degree, which I’m so proud of, and I got that through TAFE and I can’t see why my students who want a chance can’t get that same opportunity, because I know how my experience of TAFE made me a better person.”

Local veterans eligible for grants

LOCAL veterans can apply for community group grants to boost awareness of their role in Australia’s military history.

Member for Dugald Saunders said groups can apply for $3000 each as part of the Anzac Community Grants Program.

“Veterans past and present served to keep us safe and this is a great chance to recognise their sacrifices, while enriching our communities,” Mr Saunders said.

Mr Saunders suggested using the grant to restore a medals display cabinet or creating and interactive experience.

The categories supported by the grant are local community historical research and education, preservation or display of war memorabilia, public commemorative events, and support members of the veteran community.

Individuals and not-for-profit organisations are eligible to apply for the grant.

Applications can be submitted online until Friday, November 11.

Dubbo filmmakers celebrate 10 years of festival

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

DUBBO Filmmakers will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its One Eye Short Film Festival on Saturday, November 19, at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC).

The short film festival has grown to a platform showcasing local, national, and international films.

Vice president Nathan Shooter encourages multigenerational creators to contribute their work and ideas.

“We’re not just looking for young people or older people with experience, but people across all ages,” Mr Shooter told Dubbo Photo News

“Ideas matter and for me, it is about making sure everyone feels welcomed to enter in the film festival.

“I think it has been a key in the success because people feel like it is their home and are comfortable sharing ideas.”

People can submit their piece online via FilmFreeway.

Over the years, Mr Shooter has seen films recorded in video game styles, narratives, documentaries, and other variants.

“I’m hoping to see something that I haven’t seen before,” he said.

“We want people to experiment, and to be creative – we’re looking for anything and everything from anyone.”

Mr Shooter admitted Dubbo punches its weight when it comes to the creative industry.

“I know there are people in our region who have cool ideas, but they need an outlet,” he said.

“People often don’t feel like they have an opportunity to show or create their films outside of Sydney.

“We should be helping people to create locally and to show their work locally.

“It’s amazing to see regional Australia, especially us, making noise around the world and the country.”

Mr Shooter said the festival

provides a networking opportunity for likeminded individuals.

“You can create new connections you never thought you would have,” he said.

Bonsai Films founder Jonathon Page will be the curator for the event.

Mr Page will gather the selected submissions and create a program list for the night.

Mr Shooter said the film festival has gathered recognition over the past years.

“We’re getting a reputation, not

only that we know how to make films, but we’re good at it,” he said.

“It secures confidence in future works.”

Mr Shooter said a shared goal of his and the team’s is that Dubbo is a location of where big motions pictures are produced.

“We want to see more films being made here and have more local contribution,” he said.

“If we get films being produced out here, our city grows.”

Healthy, happy kids the focus of new research

THE mental health and wellbeing of Dubbo’s primary school student cohort will soon be higher on the agenda, with researchers set to look at ways of creating innovative social and emotional support measures for the state’s youngest learners.

The Murdoch Children’s Research Institute has been engaged by the NSW state government to look into a range of new initiatives aimed at addressing some of the social and emotional ramifications of what has been a very tough couple of years for youngsters.

The push is prompted by reports from parents and teachers about the impact of the pandemic on student capacity to focus, on social interactions and on general happiness of school children.

Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said that when it comes to student wellbeing, early identification and prevention is key, and a holistic approach is key, while her colleague and Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor echoed the importance of prevention, saying the delivery of evidence-based programs will complement existing support and resources aimed at bolstering students’ mental wellbeing.

THE School of Rural Health and the Dubbo Base Hospital will go head-to-head in a cricket match to raise funds for Macquarie Home Stay.

Macquarie Home Stay provides affordable accommodation for patients needing treatment at the Dubbo Base Hospital.

The match will be held on Saturday, October 9, at the Lady Cutler ovals at midday, including stalls of baked goods and sausage sizzles available for purchase.

Student Jan Morgiewicz said the game will be the crowning event but proceeds of the foods and drinks will be donated to Macquarie Home Stay.

He added there will be an auction of prizes, and students will auction their time for maintenance services such as mowing lawns.

“We’re really excited to support Macquarie Home Stay for all the services they provide for the region,” Mr Morgiewicz said.

“We’re going to give those people at the hospital a run for their money on the day.

“It’ll be a very good contest and you’ll see some great wizardry with a bat and a ball.”

Mr Morgiewicz encourages the Dubbo community to support the friendly competition on the day.

“It’s been fantastic here in Dubbo, everyone has been so welcoming in the community,” he said.

He shared the cohort have been competing in a variety of sports,

including cricket, netball, and touch footy.

“No matter what we’ve been doing people have been trying to get us involved in the community,” he said.

Student George Smith is looking forward to the game as it is his and the other students’ year in Dubbo.

“To already be teaming up with the hospital and to be going

against them is a lot of fun,” Mr Smith said.

“They have been very great and supportive of us.

“They have some strong players but a lot of us have been in the grand final for Dubbo indoor cricket.”

Student Tomi Orundami said there is a great vibe amongst everyone regarding the preparation for the competition.

“It’ll be interesting versing the doctors that we’ve been getting to know professionally and it’s a good bonding activity for the cohort,” Mr Orundami said.

Mr Orundami hopes for the competition to become an annual event.

Student Jack Schneider said everyone is welcome to attend and show their support to the teams, and Macquarie Home Stay.

Quinn’s superhero attitude saves the day

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

FINISHING her last highrisk block, Quinn Wiatkowski, 4, has been undergoing treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in Sydney for the past five months.

The Dubbo family are raising awareness for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September and are hoping to shine a spotlight on greater treatment needed.

Quinn’s mother Sheridan Wiatkowski says new medical treatments would ensure families do not have to deal with as many negative side effects in the future.

“In regard to what Quinn is going through, the treatments have been very fine tuned and that is great, but they are decades old so there may be possible side effects in years to come,” Mrs Wiatkowski told Dubbo Photo News

She explained initial treatments are to get rid of the cancer cells inside the body but there are ramifications of having treatment.

“It would be great to have these advancements so side effects are limited in the future,” she said.

“I don’t want that for

other families, having to see their child suffer.

“Unless you’ve experienced childhood cancer firsthand you don’t have exposure to it and don’t know what they are going through.”

Mrs Wiatkowski confirmed Quinn is Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negative, meaning she has no detective leukemic cells in her body.

Quinn still needs to have treatment for the next two years to ensure she remains cancer free.

She continued saying Quinn had 25 blood transfusions over the course of her treatment.

“Without blood donors she wouldn’t be alive so we’re very grateful,” Mrs Wiatkowski said.

Quinn wears a Supertee which is a medical garment for children which provides easy accessibility to underarms for temperature checks and other medical needs, such as accessing her central line without having to remove the garment.

Quinn wears a Marvel designed garment which is brightly coloured.

“It brings back the imagination in her life and allows her to feel more empowered,” Mrs Wiatkowski said.

Rotary raffle full steam ahead

HOWARD Rutherford and Colin Shanks were kept busy selling tickets for the Rotary Club of West Dubbo’s trailer, which is packed full of goodies (valued at more than $8500) for the

great outdoors.

It proved a hit at last weekend’s caravan and camping show, with a great captive audience right in the target audience to appreciate the prizes on offer.

Howzat! T20 buzz comes to town

CRICKET fans rejoice! All the excitement of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be bowling into town next week with a visit from the event’s Regional Roadshow.

The roadshow, which features a range of interactive activities and displays, including a virtual reality experience of hitting a six at the SCG, is coming to Dubbo’s John McGrath Oval on Sunday, October 9 from 11am-3pm.

Member for Dubbo and cricket tragic Dugald Saunders is excited to see the event come to town, and says the roadshow – which is part of the government’s “10 World Cups in 10 Years” initiative – is a great opportunity to experience “the buzz of the tournament first hand”.

There will also be the chance to win several ICC Men’s T20 World Cup prizes, so mark it in the diary.

Dubbo community organisations eligible for funding

DUBBO community organisations are encouraged to apply for a share of $15,000 through the Financial Assistance Program (FAP).

Dubbo Regional Council community services manager Christy White said previous recipients were charitable, health, animal, wellbeing, and environmental organisations.

Council dedicates $30,000 to FAP each year to maintain not-forprofit organisations.

“The funding often provides a much needed boost to help community groups to complete a project or pay for resources that help them deliver valued activities and services to the people of DRC,” Ms White said.

Applications close on Friday, September 30, at 5pm.

A FLEXIBLE CAREER

Stoked to be on the move

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

AFTER a successful placement at On the Move, Annabelle Corbett was offered a full-time position as an accredited exercise physiologist helping to rehabilitate her clients.

Living in Sydney at the time, Annabelle had a two-week turn around after accepting the offer and starting her position in Dubbo.

On the Move delivers activity based therapy and social inclusion for people with all types of disabilities and chronic conditions.

Annabelle says her clientele feature people with chronic conditions, including strokes, cerebral palsy, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, and disabilities, including autism, down syndrome, and non-verbal communicators.

“I also work at Yawarra Community School in the hydro therapy pool,” Annabelle told Dubbo Photo News

“I get clients in the pool for either sensory therapy so they can use the pool as a calming space or use it for a range of motion.”

She said for her clients in wheelchairs the pool assists with blood circulation.

“It’s really rewarding work,” she said.

Annabelle is trying to communicate through key word sign to communicate efficiently with her clients with speaking difficulties.

“You’re communicating very differently between clients, like children who might be non-verbal or adults who might struggle to hold objects or not walk properly,” Annabelle said.

She continued saying in the past six months she has improved her skillset to accommodate to different pathologies and conditions.

“Building a connection with clients is important as our diary stays the same each week until they are able to manage it themselves,” she said.

“On the Move’s goal is for clients to be independent and social in the community.”

Annabelle had previously attended Dubbo park runs with her clients to get them involved in the community.

“A lot of the time people with disabilities do not have the opportunities to socialise partly because of transport or they might feel inadequate because they have a disability,” she said.

“We really try to foster a family here.

“We have a lot of longstanding clients, and it helps them into transitioning into a more independent lifestyle by building social skills and making them happier.

“On the Move is more holistic than just exercise.”

Annabelle said exercises are very targeted to the client’s condition and needs to make them feel secure and stable within themselves.

She added the team make her experience at work enjoyable as everyone helps one another and strives to become more educated and aware.

Her favourite part of the position is making an impact in someone’s life, whether it is making someone feel good or training them to pick up a pen again.

“A lot of places don’t offer to treat a variety of conditions and age groups,” she said.

“I love working with kids and elderly people and I love that I can talk and meet so many people.”

Annabelle looks forward to working with the company as it grows.

“I can see myself being here and staying in Dubbo for a while,” she said.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Grateful to Dubbo, and Australia

By JOHN RYAN

JONE Iranasau loves his job and Fletcher International Exports and says he’s so grateful for the opportunity he’s been given.

He grew up in a very difficult environment, raised by his mum and grandparents on both sides of the family.

“There’s not many opportunities back at home, I finished my high school in 2014 and from then it took me seven years to try and find a permanent job,” he told Dubbo Photo News

“It was very difficult. I was sales’ boy once and then when I was getting close to becoming permanent, my mum was called to do a tour of duty, she’s in the military, so I was taking care of the family while mum was away and I had to play the role of the mother and father figure.”

Jone applied for a job in Australia through the Pacific Labour Scheme program after his auntie’s neighbour told her about it, and he initially put his name down to work in aged care but was advised to also tick the ‘meat workers’ box, and was determined to take whatever came first.

“After two years I got the call, I’d never heard of Dubbo. It was the first time I’d heard about it, in some ways it’s like home, even though we miss home so badly, but we’ve been welcomed with warmth and open arms by the company and those people I’ve come to know,” he said.

“I work in the chilled department of the Load Out, I’d never done anything like this. I’d done sales but had no experience in load out. It took me quite a while, the first few months, the challenge for me was getting up so early in the morning,” he laughed, “I never used to – back at home my mum was always on my back, trying to get me up early but now I’ve gone through that challenge and now getting up early is just part of my routine.

“I normally stay back to do overtime to help out the guys at Frozen Load Out, when they need help, I’m always here and I often do a double shift on Friday.”

He says the opportunities in Dubbo created by Fletcher International are incredibly important to people such as himself who are determined to create a better life for their families.

“What we have been through at home, it’s a real struggle back at home so to be given this opportunity is a real blessing and to see our families struggle, I’ve seen mum struggle to put food on the table ever since I was a little child, being here is great because I can help my family,” Jone said.

“I was just so thankful after being without work for seven years and now it’s my turn to help, to give back to my mum – she wanted to send the money back to me and I said no, you’ve raised us and everyone you’ve crossed paths with, you’ve always put them first, it is indeed an honour to be giving back to her.”

Jone now sees Dubbo as his second home and says it really helps to have so many other Pacific Islanders working at the company at the same time.

“Working alongside them all is a blessing, I get to know all of them and it is humbling indeed, sometimes it makes us forget about home because we experience new things every day so we get to know each other very well,” he said, remarking that it’s such a great thing to have company management that listens to

its workers.

“It’s very important because we work together as a team, always look out for each other – when we first came we were all closed up in our shells and then we started to open up to each other, showing our true colours and they saw us

working together in the Load Out as Islanders helping each other.

“We learn and help each other, we always hear each other’s voices because some people may not find it easy, some people may be struggling and we can encourage them to not give up, to push on.”

Dynamic duo diving to teach

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

MOTHER and daughter duo Carmen and Ruby Appleby have been working at the RSL Health club together for five years specialising in different areas.

Manager, swimming and Group X instructor Carmen has been working at the health club for 18 years motivating people to improve their lifestyles with movement.

“People who come to the health club are already happy and in a motivating mood,” Carmen told Dubbo Photo News

Carmen enjoys training her colleagues to become better at their jobs to then be role models for people seeking their help.

When Carmen’s children were young, she taught them how to swim in their home pool.

“I used to see the AUSTSWIM ad on the television and I thought I would really enjoy it – so I did it,” she said.

“I came to the RSL, and they offered me a job.”

Throughout Carmen’s career she has taught children, adult, and migrant swimming lessons.

She said the RSL teach more than 1000 children to swim a week.

“We’ve got so many kids who want to learn how to swim and it’s wonderful to see,” she said.

She acknowledged the club is increasing in membership numbers and facility improvements.

“We’re trying to appeal to a lot of different people at the gym so sometimes we take exercise classes on the roof of the car park,” Carmen said.

Receptionist, swimming instructor, and social media and marketer Ruby enjoys how her passion for social media grew since beginning the job.

“I don’t know what my future will hold but I really love the social media and marketing side of things,” Ruby said.

“I love recording people at the gym, I know they all hate it but it’s fun.”

Ruby plans to live in Europe for the next two years and continue her passion of social media overseas.

She said she and Carmen enjoy working together as it is easy to come to work each day.

“Mum really has made this such a great place to work,” she said.

“Everyone can do a bit of everything so it’s very easy to share roles if we need to.

“I love teaching kids how to swim too – it’s very rewarding.

“When they get older, they realise how important it is.

“Seeing kids grow from the start of the term compared to the end is remarkable and realising you did that is very satisfying.”

The RSL Health Club offers more than 40 classes a week specialising in different areas and needs of the body.

Swimming and grinning at the RSL Health Club

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

MOTHER and daughter swimming instructors Janet and Marcella Mansour are enjoying working together at the RSL Health Club.

Janet commenced instructing in the RSL pool in January of this year after she received her swimming teaching qualifications.

Sport and children’s coaching has consumed Janet’s life as she has participated and coached sport, including cricket, netball, and soccer.

“I like kids, I like hanging out with kids, and I like improving skills whether it be swimming, sport, or even reading,” Janet said.

She said teaching children how to swim is no different from teaching them other life skills.

“If you have an understanding of how to get someone moving and motivated – it’s a really enjoyable and rewarding job,” Janet said.

Throughout the term, Janet has noticed improvement in all her students.

RSL Health Club provides certificates to children at the end of each term of what they are doing well in and what they can improve on.

“You can look back over and see that children have improved, and you can write positive things by motivating them to keep swimming,” she said.

Janet encourages her stu-

She said the balance between work and home life is great as she does not need to do follow up work at home.

“I’ve got four kids so it’s nice that I can be available to them when I get home,” she said.

Janet said the RSL have a

the next, so it is really nice to have support and share experience,” Janet said.

“That collective knowledge is great because everyone wants to help you.”

Marcella has only been instructing swimming lessons for 10 weeks at the RSL

my qualifications because I was at uni, but I’m back now,” Marcella said.

Marcella is currently studying an online pathway program with hopes of continuing to do a teacher’s aide course through Charles Sturt University.

Pat McArdle has been a builder all his life but he’s never built anything like this. His radically customised 1960’s Volkswagen Beetle drew plenty of looks – beginning as confused and turning to admiration – when he unveiled the Super Bug at Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee.

“I think she might be a one-off,” Pat laughed.

“It’s a 1964 VW Beetle, we widened the body about 600 millimetres and Rat Rodded it.

“HQ chassis, shortened, 350 Chev, ZZ4, 350 horsepower, Turbo 400 transmission, Ford 9” diff, four-link suspension with the radiator in behind the back seat, a computer-run system for the airbags.

People shorten cars, people lower cars, people chop roofs on cars to lower the profile, but this

writer hasn’t yet come across anyone who widens cars.

Well-known around town as a builder, Pat concedes knocking up residential houses is a long way from his latest project.

“It’s something a little bit different, it’s something I haven’t seen done in the past, I just enjoy working on cars,” he said.

“I enjoy working in the shed, it’s a bit of an interest, plenty of my mates helped with it as well, it’s a good social thing.”

He said Covid slowed the project down “a fair bit”, trying to get parts and get people to work on things because everyone was in lockdown – he said what should have been a 12-month build turned into almost three years.

“The engineer was really impressed with it, he was, he went over the whole thing, he spent about three

or four hours on it and was really happy with it.

“In saying that, a builder works to the millimetre, doesn’t he, so on our side of it we just did everything properly.”

It’s only been registered a few weeks and already it’s created plenty of interest, but Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee was its first official outing.

“The general reaction I’m getting is amazement. A lot of people, when they first look at it, don’t realise what’s ‘wrong’ with it, it takes a few minutes for that to sink in, then they see that it’s a bit wider, then they walk around the back to look at the motor but it’s not there, it’s

in the front, it’s quite amusing to watch peoples’ reactions.

“Fabrication has always been a backyard hobby, I just look at things and think if someone else can make something, I can learn how to do

it, self-taught, I’ve always done that I suppose.

“I’ve started another one, a Morris 1100, a 1964 Morris, it’s already been widened and made into a twodoor, it’s ready to go together.”

Local history: 56 years since the Proclamation of the City of Dubbo

JOHN MASON and his wife Meg brought their young family to Dubbo in the early 1960s when he was posted here as the new Methodist Church minister.

Within a few years he was asked to run for state parliament and went on to serve as the Member for Dubbo from 1965 to 1981.

Now in his 90s, John was encouraged by his family to write a series of short stories of his memories of his time in this region.

Those stories will soon be released as a locally-produced book called “People, Places, Predicaments: Tales From the Life of John Mason”.

By his own admission, these stories are intended to be light-hearted. Some of the events he writes about are well known, but his stories often reveal an amusing or unusual aspect of each event that wasn’t widely reported at the time.

With Mr Mason’s permission, Dubbo Photo News is publishing one of those stories this week, to coincide with the 56th anniversary of the official proclamation of Dubbo as a “city” in September 1966.

By JOHN MASON

TRADITIONALLY, wherever a cathedral was situated, that place was proclaimed a city. So, Bathurst, Armidale, Goulburn and Grafton were given the prestigious title of ‘City’.

When the Askin Government was elected in 1964, one of the early pieces of legislation passed was to establish new criteria for a community to be proclaimed a city.

Studying the legislation and consulting with the then mayor of Dubbo, Kevin Dunlop, an application was made to have Dubbo declared one. Grand celebrations were planned; the Governor of NSW, Sir Roden Cutler V.C., was to visit Dubbo for the proclamation.

We decided that as well as the public assembly in Macquarie Street (where the municipal council chambers were situated) with a traditional ceremony (Dubbo’s outstanding band blasting out music, proclamation speeches, pomp and ceremony) there should be something special and

different to mark the occasion. A feature was a grand parade along Macquarie Street with many folk dressed up in period costume; a great spectacle!

So, in August 1966, Dubbo was to be proclaimed a city.

That was when the suggestion was also made to hold a Proclamation Ball. This would draw a great crowd of local residents and give them the opportunity of a close encounter with the Governor, who was such an honoured and popular man. Where to hold it? There was nowhere to hold the large number who would want to attend. The fine Civic Centre was still a dream away.

Then the idea came that the disused wool storage warehouse, located near the rail crossing on the Cobbora Road, just east of Fitzroy Street, was by far the largest floor space in Dubbo and would

be able to provide a great location to hold the ball. So, the Town Clerk, George Maliphant, was put to work to clear, decorate and do all necessary to prepare the wool shed (that hadn’t been used for years to store the region’s wool bales, for presentation and sale).

The floor was timber and had been saturated with lanolin from the wool bales, it was ideal for dancing.

And so the great night approached. An added bonus was that the ABC-TV requested permission to record the proclamation ceremony and Ball and would broadcast it as Dubbo was to be the first town to be proclaimed a city, under the new legislation, and there was interest across the country and so it was to be televised.

A massive red carpet was laid for the governor and official party

to proceed to a dais that was built for the occasion. Dubbo retailers would benefit and no doubt, ladies would want new hair dos. Men would be allowed to buy a new suit. Ken Marshall’s Catering promised a super supper. The response from the public was tremendous and so the great night of the proclamation ball arrived. Trumpets blared as the massive crowd formed a corridor for the official party, the cameras rolled as the scene was sent off to TVs across the state. The crowd cheered.

The drama reached fever pitch as the Governor, accompanied by the Mayor, with the rest of us following, started down the red carpet. But all that lanolin was too much and the carpet began to move from under the Governor’s feet. As if in slow motion, the Governor, who had lost one leg in battle, slowly began to fall.

Fortunately, the Mayor, Kevin Dunlop, was comfortably covered and managed to break the Governor’s fall. As the Governor landed on top of Kevin, panic and horror broke out and the gasps of the crowd filled the shed – and all on ABC-TV!

We managed to get the Governor and Mayor up and to the dais. The band began to play but people didn’t know what to do. A cry went up “Let the dance begin” and hesitantly a few rose to the occasion, but the hush could still be felt.

The measure of the man was seen in what happened next. The Governor leant over and said to me, “John, start bringing some people and introduce them to me. That will help.” Soon, a line of couples formed as they were introduced by myself, my wife Meg, and Nancy Dunlop. The laughter and goodwill that began to flow from the Governor and folk had its effect and peace and fun took over.

The Governor gave a great speech and a wonderful supper was had by all, leaving us with happy memories marking the Proclamation of Dubbo as the state’s newest city.

“People, Places, Predicaments: Tales From the Life of John Mason” will be published soon, and on sale at The Book Connection in Dubbo. Watch for details in DubboPhotoNewsin the coming weeks.

Be protective this summer season

“DON’T be a fire risk to your community.”

That’s the message from NSW RFS Cudgegong district acting district manager Troy Gersback as he reminds landowners they can undertake safe burning activities with a permit, once the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP begins on Saturday, October 1.

“Fire permits are free and can be obtained from your local NSW RFS,” Mr Gersback said.

“Despite recent rainfall, we have already seen the potential risk this fire season holds with two grass fires earlier this month.

“With the forecast of further rainfall contributing to increased grass growth throughout Spring, as temperatures rise and this grass fuel cures, the risk is going to continue increase.”

IT’S A RECORD!

Making a splash with their 10th anniversary, a Belgium water park has broken the record for the most people performing a cannonball dive with 298 people taking the plunge on June 25. For this attempt, participants were invited to register and had to be counted in before the official record attempt.

Restoring respect: Schools unite to lift behaviour

PARENTS and teachers across Dubbo and the region will be relieved to hear there are moves afoot to try to address what has long been seen as a deterioration of behavioural standards in schools.

Across the state, schools from all sectors are joining forces to put together a plan to create a Chief Behaviour Advisor, whose job it will be to look at evidence-based best practices and advise parents and carers on how to support children and reinforce behavioural standards at school.

Catholic Schools NSW supports the scheme, a spokesperson saying that “proactively addressing student behaviour can make an enormous contribution to improving student learning outcomes and promoting a positive learning environment”.

The Association of Independent Schools of NSW also welcomed the collaborative approach to “tackling these issues head on” and holding students to a high standard.

Measures also include the introduction of a Premier’s Respect Award, aimed at incentivising exemplary behaviour.

‘Sweet Songs and Soft Guitar’ folk duo return to Dubbo

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

FOLK duo, ‘Sweet Songs and Soft Guitar’, are performing at the Uniting Church on Saturday, September 24, along with Dubbo locals Di Clifford and Peter Maher.

Kathy and Matthew Clarke will be visiting from Hunter Valley to perform songs of love, hope, and care to a Dubbo crowd.

The duo will be performing songs written by Australian folk vocalists Judy Small and Eric Bogle, whose work reflects various generational and environmental issues.

Di Clifford is looking forward to the performance.

“They both have intergenerational family connections in Dubbo so I think it’s kind of special that they come back here and revisit the connections that they once had,” Ms Clifford told Dubbo Photo News

“Along with their gentle music, they will be talking about humanitarian and environmental things which is always delightful.”

Ms Clifford will be performing two songs, including ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’.

She suggested she would ask the audience to sing the chorus

with her.

“It’s getting closer so I’m getting excited,” she said.

Talking about the duo, Ms Clifford said they have a special sound to their performances.

“It’s not the sort of thing other people expect, they’re different and unique,” she said.

“They go where they want to go with the music.”

The performance will be fol-

lowed by an afternoon tea.

The duo will be performing at the Uniting Church on Saturday, September 24, at 2pm.

Earth science teachers visit Tomingley and Peak Hill mines

By SHARON BONTHUYS

SEVEN earth and environmental science teachers from around NSW visited the Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) mine site recently to gain a better understanding of what happens in mining.

Arranged by an Alkane exploration geologist Alex Cherry, the visit aimed to inform the earth science educators about the mining industry.

“Some of the teachers have little practical understanding of what we actually do in mining. The idea of the visit was to provide them with some information about the mining cycle right from exploration through to rehabilitation of a mine site,” said TGO General Manager Opera-

tions, Jason Hughes.

“We brought them out here and showed them an operating mine site. They were taken down into the open pit and got to climb over the trucks and diggers, and four of them went underground for a tour and got a quick glimpse of underground mining as well,” Jason said.

“It was very beneficial for them to see an actual operating mine in person rather than go off what they think might happen or what they might have read about mining,” he said.

The teachers also visited the old Peak Hill Gold Mine and Open Cut Experience to learn about the mining history of the area as well as to see what a successfully rehabilitated mine site looks like.

The regeneration of native bushland around the mine and the return of numerous species was discussed to highlight the often positive environmental impacts of mining.

The practical nature of the visit to these areas means the teachers will be better informed when discussing mining with students, Jason said.

In NSW, “science” is a mandatory subject for all students from Kindergarten to Year 10. Earth and environmental science is a Stage 6 syllabus offered as a two-unit course to students in Years 11 and 12.

“Teaching children at school the real facts about mining is so critical to the Australian resource industry. We can’t get enough people into the indus-

try and I think it’s predominantly because the kids [coming through] don’t really know anything about mining. What they may know, typically, hasn’t been painted in a good light either, which is not deserved,” Jason said.

“The resource industry for critical minerals is so important but people don’t want to go and do mining or are unfamiliar with the broad range of careers available within mining.

“People think it’s just operating equipment but there’s so much more to [mining]. There are geologists, engineers, environmental scientists, metallurgists, accountants, lawyers etc.

“Getting information [out to students] about what we do can only help,” he said.

A possible aid for the teacher shortage

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

CHARLES Sturt University Senior Lecturer in Early Childhood Education Dr Libbey Murray says the Collaborative Teacher’s Aide Pathway (CTAP) is a solution to addressing teaching workforce challenges currently being experienced in NSW, and across Australia.

CTAP combines the expertise of Charles Sturt University, TAFE NSW, Regional Development Australia (RDA) – Orana, and NSW schools with the collaborate objective to grow the supply of teachers in kindergarten to year 12 education across NSW, particularly in regional communities.

“Charles Sturt aims to reduce barriers to attracting and retaining teachers, by broadening entry pathways and providing opportunities, which haven’t previously existed in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs,” Dr Murray said.

The CTAP utilises a high support model of student enrolment, transition, and retention. Teachers’ Aides are closely supported through their entire teacher education training, including their transition from TAFE/VET studies to university, their adjustment to tertiary study, their transition into professional placements, and their transition into the teaching workforce upon graduation.

We provide a degree pathway which enables Teachers’ Aides who are working in schools, to receive a year of credit for relevant, education-based TAFE/VET studies, and/or previous university subjects they have completed, and that helps to reduce the amount of time they study with us, and helps them be teaching in classrooms sooner. They complete a Bachelor of Educational Studies which includes the same subjects as our usual undergraduate education degrees, and then go on to complete a Master of Teaching in Primary or Secondary. The whole degree pathway is three years, including a year of VET credit.

Is the pathway only eligible for teachers in regional communities, if so, what happens when they choose to move to metropolitan areas?

While we are focusing on regional and rural communities, the CTAP is for anyone who wants to retrain and become a teacher. Teachers’ Aides in the pathway don’t have to remain in the school they currently work in, and they don’t have to remain in the community in which they are now (although we expect a lot of them will). We have over 150 students enrolled from all across the country, NSW, VIC, QLD, ACT, and WA so far, including rural, regional and metropolitan areas.

Will this benefit the teacher shortage?

Yes. This course pathway trains

high quality teachers, who are working in schools they know, with colleagues and children they know, in communities they know, which will be immensely beneficial to addressing the teacher shortage. There are over 100,000 Teachers’ Aides, SLSO, AEOs in Australia and while they don’t all want to be teachers, many of them do, and this pathway offers them the support they need to make that dream a reality.

Our workforce problem has been attracting the right people to become teachers and retaining them through initial teacher education and into the profession. Many of our Teacher’s Aide cohort have wanted to be teachers for a long time, so they are attracted to the profession, and they are highly retainable. They are already working in the industry they will work in as teachers, and they are already part of the rural, regional, and metropolitan communities where they will work.

This is like a traineeship model. It will allow principals to support Teachers’ Aides they know to become teachers, and it will allow Teachers’ Aides to see and practice what they are learning at university – in context, every day, on the job.

Do you think reducing studying for a year less will affect the quality of teaching?

Not with this cohort. The Teachers’ Aides who are studying with us have been immersed in classrooms for up to 20 years. They see great teaching and effective classroom management every day. They are not coming in new to this profession.

They have completed relevant qualifications with TAFE or VET providers which have included 100 hours of placement, and in the time they study with us, they still need to meet all of the requirements that any other initial teacher education students are required to meet – the LANTITE (literacy and numeracy) test requirements, the Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment ensuring students meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, and all of the discipline, curriculum, and professional experience subjects required – at Masters level.

This is not a sub-standard op-

tion. It isn’t just fast-tracking people through a degree to become teachers. It is drawing on a cohort of paraprofessionals who love children and love teaching, and really want to be there, and giving them the extra support they need to step them up into a teaching role.

Are current teachers’ aids encouraged to commence the course?

Absolutely! All the students in our course are currently working as fantastic Teacher’s Aides in public and private schools across Australia. We have set up the course to be as responsive to the needs of this cohort as possible. It is online, can be studied part time or full

time, and we have three intake semesters per year.

What is the current feedback?

The Teachers’ Aides we have studying with us so far, are doing so well. They are enjoying the flexibility they have to study part time while working, and they enjoy the fact that their goal of becoming a teacher isn’t so far away. A number of our students have completed quite a bit of previous university study but were unable to complete those studies for various reasons. They have received credit for their prior learning, which means they will be out teaching in two or three years.

Principals, regional Executive Education Directors, and our Federal Education Minister, are also really excited about this pathway and what it will do for schools and communities.

Why is this pathway needed for Dubbo and other regional communities?

This pathway was developed in consultation with our local community stakeholders for our regional communities. Charles Sturt’s Faculty of Arts and Education have worked closely with our Directors of External Engagement to ensure we meet the needs of Dubbo and other regional communities in the Charles Sturt footprint.

We have over 20 Teachers’ Aides enrolled in the program from Dubbo and surrounds, and many more from other areas in regional NSW, so we are looking forward to seeing those students graduate and start teaching in the next two to five years.

Can you explain in more detail the opportunity CTAP represents for Teachers’ Aides?

Every child needs a home

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

DUBBO Photo News spoke with My Forever Family’s spokesperson Michelle Stacpoole for a further insight on how the Dubbo community can help with fostering children.

Why are foster parents needed in regional areas?

There remains a critical shortage of carers in the Western NSW region, and 15,895 children living in out-of-home care across the state of NSW.

Around 350 homes are needed right now for children and young people in care in NSW.

On June 30, 2021, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reported the rate of young people nationally in out-ofhome care was twice as high in inner and outer regional areas as in Major cities.

How many children in regional areas need carers?

The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) NSW data for 2021 shows there were 1,267 children and young people in out-ofhome care (OOHC) in the Western NSW District.

The data for 2020 shows that a staggering 19 children and young people aged 0-17 per 1000 are living in out of home care in the Western NSW District compared with 9 in 1000 across the whole of NSW.

These are children and young people who can’t live safely with their family and need a safe and nurturing place to call home. Who is eligible to be a carer?

Becoming a carer isn’t one-sizefits-all and there is opportunity to be the unique carer a child needs to feel safe and thrive.

To apply to become a foster carer in NSW you can be single, married, in a de facto relationship or same-sex relationship.

To be eligible you must be: ideally over the age of 25 an Australian citizen or permanent resident in good health without a criminal record How is fostering different from adoption?

Foster care is one pathway where foster carers can give children a safe, stable and nurturing family environment for a few months, years or for the rest of their lives.

When it’s not possible for children to remain safely in their home, our priority is to ensure children and young people are placed with kin or carers so they can maintain their connections to their culture and family.

Relative or kinship care is when a child or young person lives with a relative or someone they already know. We hope that staying with family can be a stable, permanent solution for these children and can assist relative and kinship carers to apply for legal guardianship to ensure this.

When relative or kinship care is not an option, children and young people can find a home with an authorised foster carer. There are different types of foster care including,

Part-time care: Your home could be a safe haven for children on an occasional basis. From time to time, parents and carers need a break from their caring role. Part-time care provides a secure home for children and young people in these situations, often only for short periods of time such as weekends, once a month or during school holidays.

Short-term and Medium-term: Sometimes children need a place to stay while their parents or family are working on making changes so their family can be reunited. Short to medium-term care placements have a strong focus on reuniting the child with their birth parents or extended family within two years of the placement. In some circumstances, a short-term carer may be caring for a child before they move to another carer who is not a relative or kin.

Emergency care: If there are concerns for the immediate safety of children and young people, they may be placed in emergency care (also known as immediate or crisis care). If you’re an emergency carer, you may be asked to provide care for children of all ages, including infants and young children.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Long-term or permanent: These are placements for longer than two years.

When children and young people can’t return to their family, and guardianship or adoption are not an option, they’ll find a permanent home with a long-term foster carer.

In some circumstances, carers can apply to become legal guardians of, or adopt children, who have been in their long-term care.

Adoption permanently transfers all the legal parenting rights and responsibilities from the child’s birth parents (or anyone with parental responsibility for the child) to the adoptive parents. For children and young people who cannot be safely restored to their family, adoption offers them a secure, stable home for life. Should they wish to (and if circumstances allow), the adopted child can still have contact with their birth parents, family and important people in their life. Are carers monitored?

The most important quality we look for in foster carers is an ability to share your life with children.

We need people who have available time, space in their homes and the capacity to parent children who have had difficult starts to life.

Careful screening takes place to ensure that foster carers are safe people and have the capacity to stay the course for a child in their care. Potential carers must provide references, medical and police checks, and be interviewed several times during the assessment process.

As a foster carer, you’ll receive ongoing support and case management from your agency.

The NSW foster care system has been set up to ensure that all car-

ers feel supported, equipped and encouraged in their critical role of caring for children.

My Forever Family NSW offers free resources, support, and online and in-person training for carers. How do the children feel being in a new environment?

Entering a new environment can be a daunting experience for children and adults alike. It’s understandable that a child being placed into a new home may be trepidatious.

Carers play a vital role in providing security and warmth to a child when they are at their most vulnerable.

Experienced carer Sharron shared what she does when a child first enters her home, “just sharing what we are doing for the day, takes away the unknown and helps a child feel safe in a stressful period for them.

I say we’re going to have dinner, then a bath, and read a story before bedtime – that predictability and routine provides certainty in an uncertain time for a child.

Over time carers become a part of a child’s extended family and network of support, providing guidance and mentorship and helping build a sense of security and community for the child or young person.

How has Covid impacted foster caring?

We still don’t know the full extent of the impacts of Covid on children in care and the families who care for them. What we do know is that the caring population is ageing, putting them in a high risk category for the virus and its long term effects, thus impacting their availability to continue caring.

This adds to the urgent need for more carer homes across the state.

What do My Forever Family NSW hope for the future in terms of fostering children?

At My Forever Family NSW, we care for those who care for children. Our goal is to see all children receive the care they deserve, and all carers receive the support and training they need. We are dedicated to our children and carers, taking on feedback from carers, non- government organisations and the child welfare sector to ensure we are doing everything we can support the journey of all involved. We’re committed to diversity and inclusion, offering appropriate support for culturally and linguistically diverse carers.

Through our engagement with the state government and child welfare sector, we advocate for systemic change on behalf of carers and the children they care for.

It is our hope that, together, we can achieve a brighter future for families across NSW.

What type of children need foster caring?

There are children from birth through to their teenage years who require care as they aren’t able to live safely at home.

Carers are needed for sibling groups, to keep siblings together, as well as for older children and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. So, we need people in the community to open their homes to provide a safe place for them to stay. Do you have anything else to share?

No matter how long a child stays with you, you can make a profound difference in their life. Your home could be a safe haven for children – providing certainty in an uncertain time of a child’s life.

Almost 1300 children and young people are in out-of-home care (OOHC) in the Western NSW District. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Pinocchio

By AARON HILL

‘PINOCCHIO’ is the newest Disney remake and retells the story about a man named Geppetto who creates a boy made of pine and calls him Pinocchio. He makes a wish that he would come to life, and then the Blue Fairy brings him to life. Pinocchio goes to different places with strangers and all sorts of adventures take place.

Disney has gone too far with reboots at this point, and I just wish that they would slow down. Over the years, I’ve hated each Disney reboot from Aladdin to ‘The Lion King’, and now we have ‘Pinocchio’, and it’s hard to sit through. This was the worst Disney film I’ve seen in a long time, and it overthrows ‘Mulan’ as my second worst Disney live action movie.

Tom Hanks, while I love him as Woody in Toy Story, does not make this film better. Robert Zemeckis has already made a

great film with Tom Hanks, which is ‘Cast Away’. Also, before I forget, this is the same director who made the ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy, three of my favourite films. I would say that Tom Hanks was the best part, but I wouldn’t want my nose to grow.

Pinocchio, the character is soulless. It’s all empty, there’s no life into this film at all, it doesn’t have that charm that the original had, and make no mistake, they had the most iconic Disney song you hear in the beginning of a Disney film, and it feels forced. It’s unbearable!

In conclusion, this film is a sad excuse for their future of films, and it’s only going to continue to go downhill from here. It’s the film that should be swallowed by a large whale, and I’m giving this one a 1/10.

A plus for DV housing support

By JOHN RYAN

HOUSING Plus is working with the Dubbo Community to build crisis accommodation for women and children escaping domestic and family violence and in 2020 the organisation received funding through the Safe Places program to build emergency accommodation in Dubbo for women and children escaping domestic violence.

‘The Orchard Dubbo’ will consist of two, one-bedroom and two, two-bedroom self-contained units to allow privacy and will be a haven for women and children escaping domestic and family violence that provides a safe supported environment for women to recover.

In April this year we were invited to a meeting of the Rotary Club Dubbo South (RCDS) to talk to them about Housing Plus and The Orchard Dubbo project. We were delighted to be contacted by Tony to let us know that they would like to donate $10,000 towards the furnishing of one of the units.

Rotary Club of Dubbo South president Tony Geraghty said that when Housing Plus approached the club for support, they were asked to make a presentation about the project.

“As a result we were easily persuaded to offer financial support,” he said.

“The members of RCDS had been aware of the need for

“The donations we receive from the wider Dubbo community to build these units demonstrates to the women and children who will be staying with us that they have the support of their community, it means so much to us that Rotary Club of South Dubbo has stepped up and pledged its support,” she said.

dren of Dubbo and surrounding towns.”

The Orchard will be purpose-built accommodation specifically for women and their children who are escaping domestic and family violence. With the women also having access to the Housing Plus Frith Street Office, which provides office space, counselling rooms, meeting rooms, group

es, this increases the uptake of services and supports longterm engagement with services once women leave the accommodation and leads to faster recovery.

If you are interested in supporting this vital project in Dubbo either by volunteering or donating, please contact Housing Plus via info@housingplus.com. au or calling 1800 603 300.

Why community living could make you happier and healthier

As a society, we prioritise accumulating wealth during our working lives – so it’s natural to assume having more money is the key to a healthier future. But research shows that the type of community in which we live can make a big difference.

Recently, ProMatura conducted a survey of retirement community residents and prospective residents and found two-thirds of retirement community residents said their health had either remained unchanged or improved since they moved in. And residents were two to five times more likely than non-residents to take part in fitness and social activities.

During that same period, Ingenia Gardens conducted a resident survey and found that 82% of residents had a positive outlook on life and 90% were moderately to extremely satisfied with the sense of community they felt. Both surveys suggest that many community residents experience a sense of peace of mind and in

times such as these, community connection has never been more valuable.

At the heart of Ingenia Gardens Dubbo is the Community Room which is central to the social life of the community.

“It is where you can relax and enjoy a catch up with your fellow residents, watch a movie or quietly read a book in the lounge area or enjoy lunch with your friends,” Madonna Jackson, Portfolio Manager Ingenia Gardens said.

If residents’ health needs change, Ingenia Gardens Dubbo has a complimentary and personalised care co-ordination service, Ingenia Connect to assist residents to maintain their independence for longer.

Ingenia Gardens Dubbo is set within beautiful, manicured gardens, conveniently located close to the Orana Mall Shopping Centre, Dubbo Hospital and other health facilities and the bowls and RSL clubs. With a bus stop right out the front, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make the move sooner.

If maintaining your independence for longer in a lowmaintenance home within a friendly community appeals to you, call Community Manager Pip on 6881 6333 to arrange a personal tour or visit ingeniagardens.com.au

When you join the community at Ingenia Gardens Dubbo, you’ll have the freedom to choose a life that suits you.

With a range of accommodation options and lifestyle choices, you can live the worry-free life you’ve always wanted.

Perfectly sorted downsizing

Anyone who’s ever undertaken a house move will agree it’s one of the most challenging life events, both physically and emotionally, that anyone can go through.

Most of us thrive on familiarity, routine and order. When you’re moving, you have none of those. Plus, it causes a ripple effect of change throughout your life. You’re not just changing your home and getting to know the new one, you might be in a new area, you need to find a new GP, dentist and even a new favourite coffee shop.

A recent poll showed that two-thirds of adults vote moving house at the top of their stress list. Moving can trigger more anxiety than relationship breakdowns, divorce or death of a loved one.

In all the other situations – we seek the help of professionals – solicitors, funeral directors and counsellors.

Yet so many people think that managing their move themselves is the norm. The stress, upheaval and the worry of the unknown cause further strain on families and relationships.

Did you know that there are professionals who can guide you, pack you, arrange the removalist truck, unpack and organise your new home and then take all the boxes, packing materials and rubbish away?

“Really?!” you ask... Yes really!

Using a professional to help manage your move means that you can sort things as they are packed, make some charity drop-offs, distribute any excess, and feel more in control of your move. Plus, the boxes and materials come along with the experienced packing team – even the beds are made before everything else, so you can collapse into your own bed on unpack day!

Using moving experts frees up your time to

concentrate on the things that REALLY matter – finding your new doctors, signing up for events and activities to meet people, and settling into your new home.

Taking the pressure off you and your family during the downsizing process.

Instead of trying to do it all, engage an experienced and caring team, so you avoid the sleepless nights and allow yourself to embrace the move for all the good reasons – a new home, a new opportunity or a fresh start.

So, if you are planning to move, or you know someone that is – please no MOVING D.I.Y!

Talk to us – you’ll be glad you did – we can have it all Perfectly Sorted.

As the trusted name in retirement living for more than 15 years, Oak Tree continues to be the dependable choice for seniors wanting an easier, more affordable lifestyle.

Our founding directors continue to deliver on their original vision of providing quality, communityfocused environments that support the residents’ changing lifestyle needs.

At an Oak Tree village you’ll

be surrounded by like-minded people with facilities and activities that make the process of creating a new circle easer.

Take comfort knowing a caring neighbour or helping hand is never far away, and there’s a Village Manager on-site during the day to help with anything you might need.

Oak Tree residents enjoy a lower maintenance lifestyle, meaning precious time can be spent doing the things that enrich your retirement – spending quality time with family, relaxing in your villa, or enjoying the facilities with your likeminded neighbours.

Come and go as you please or lock up and go on a trip having peace of mind that your home will be secure and taken care of in your absence.

Each village has a number of

great facilities that encourage an active, independent lifestyle, including a village centre at the heart of each community. There’s also regular events and activities so residents can enjoy a vibrant social life and keep their calendar as full as they’d like.

Residents are encouraged to invite friends and family to visit them in the village whenever they’d like – enjoy an afternoon barbeque together in the village centre or have the grandkids stay over for the night. Oak Tree also understand the importance of pet companionship and are one of the few village operators who openly welcome furry friends.

An exciting new chapter awaits you. Retire to an easier lifestyle in the location you know and love at Oak Tree.

Age is no barrier

Dubbo business woman Raisa Kolesnikova boarded a plane this week on her 64th birthday, bound for the UK.

On Sunday, October 2, she’ll be lacing up her running shoes to compete in the London Marathon.

The event is extra special because she’ll be the first runner from Dubbo to achieve the Six Star Abbot World Major Marathon medal.

“It all started with my first marathon in 2015 Dubbo Stampede and extended to run the iconic world marathons. These are in Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, Tokyo and now London,” Raisa told Dubbo Photo News.

“I’m really thrilled but most importantly I want to encourage people by showing them that age is not a barrier to success and that dreams can be realised at any time.”

Raisa started running as a hobby eight years ago when she was 55.

“There are no club and fees, just a pair of running shoes, and you can go whenever you like – nice, easy and free,” she said.

She never imagined it would become a serious passion

and never considered going from a 2K run to a 42K marathon. To date, Raisa has not only run about 30 marathons in regional Australia, but she now runs all over the world.

“I am fitter now than when I was 30 or 40 years old.

I am very proud of myself for setting an example to other woman and men to show that age is not a barrier.

Movement is the best medicine,” the health professional said.

Raisa works out in the gym every day and runs 80 kilometres each week.

“If I can inspire even one person to regain their health and ability to function and be happy again, I have done something for our community.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Because we know you’ve always s ecretly wondered, that depression on the flexure of your arm is called a chelidon.

In 1992, Saab created a protot ype vehicle called Prometheus that featured a joystick in place of a steering wheel. While it increased safety and space, it also proved more tiring and challenging to use, and the car never made it to production.

A one-eyed yellowtail rockfish at the Vancouver Aquarium was given a prosthetic eye by the facility’s head veterinarian after being bullied by its fellow fish on its blind side.

Here’s an incentive to keep up your hygiene: When scientists examined the genetic makeup of bacteria in navel lint from 60 vol-

unteers, one notable subject who hadn’t washed for several years was found to host two species of extremophile bacteria that typically thrive in ice caps and thermal vents!

The modern high jump technique was created by Dick Fosbury and dubbed the Fosbury Flop.

Dooley Wilson, who played Sam at Rick’s Cafe Americain in “Casablanca”, was an experienced musician and bandleader, but a drummer, not a pianist. He mimed his piano performance, and “As Time Goes By” was dubbed in later.

A linguistic study revealed that winter workers in Antarctica began to develop a new accent as a result of being isolated together for several months.

Sharks have existed on Earth for roughly 50 million years longer than trees.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION

John Joseph Merlin, often credited with inventing roller skates, debuted them at a 1760s masquerade in London by rolling into a room as he played the violin... then crashing head-on into a quite expensive mirror.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

“I make presents pretty by cutting leftover gift wrap into quarter-inch strips, curling them and attaching them to the gift. The more the better. It’s attractive and makes an impression.” – M.F.

“I love to have sauteed, sliced mushrooms, and I use my egg slicer to get perfect slices. It’s very handy and much easier to use than doing it with a knife.” – K.P.

You can use a soft cloth dampened with vinegar to clean greasy stains off of suede shoes. This also

works on patent leather.

“To clean plastic, vented hair brushes, stick them in the dishwasher. You also can put toothbrushes in the dishwasher periodically.” – E.L.

“If you or your child has a wood splinter, soak the finger/toe in icy water. The water swells the wood, making it easier to remove, while the iciness numbs the area, making it less painful.” – R.D.

“Loosen tight jeans with a cutting board! First, wash in cold water, then button them around something that’s about an inch wider than the waist, such as a chair top, a cutting board, etc. Air dry. It’s magical.” – V.L.

Most tips are contributed thanks to this column’s r eaders, and are based on their personal experiences. Tips are intended to be general in nature and we encourage you to consider if they are suitable for your individual circumstances.

College gongs for good sports

Dubbo Vets’ successful Week of Golf

the fairways were in excellent condition and the greens played true.

THE Dubbo Week of Golf was a tremendous follow-on event from the State Sand Green titles with 160 players teeing off in the events.

Players gathered on Sunday afternoon for a complimentary drink and sample bag. It was a great chance to meet and their sample bags clarified any queries.

One Monday and Tuesday there were 140 starters in the 36-hole event with prizes awarded for winners on each day as well as overall winners.

DUBBO College is full of good sports, but some came in for particular acknowledgement recently with the announcement of the year’s sporting awards.

The college’s Sport Organiser Craig May was delighted to be able to share the citations for three exceptional young sportspeople during a special awards evening held to recognise their outstanding achievements.

Ted Murray was named Dubbo College Sportsman of the Year, having had a “stellar year” in school sport across a number of different fields.

He was captain of the Dubbo College hockey team that finished in a respectable fifth place in the NSW Combined High Schools (CHS) knock-out, and was selected for the Western CHS boys’ hockey team to compete at the state championships. As a result, Ted was then selected in the

state team to compete at the NSW All-Schools championships, where he was part of the winning NSW team. From there, he went on to be selected in the NSW AllSchools Boys Hockey Merit Team.

But wait, there’s more from this impressive young sportsperson. In cricket, Ted was chosen as one of the final 48 players for NSW CHS Selection, which was unfortunately scuttled by rain. However, he was selected in the Western CHS Boys Cricket Team to take part in the NSW Championships and is also a part of the Dubbo College Open Boys Team which will play regional finals in Term 4.

As if that’s not impressive enough, Ted was the Dubbo College boys’ tennis champion, winning the 2022 Christie Cup, a member of the college’s open soccer team, which reached the quarter finals of the NSW

CHS Knockout Competition and part of the boys’ touch football team which placed fifth.

Sophie Simpson was named Dubbo College Sportswoman of the Year, having also had a remarkable year in school sport.

Sophie won the Western CHS girls’ squash championships, and went on to be selected for the Western CHS team, competing at the NSW CHS championships, as the number one seeded player.

Sophie was the NSW CHS runner-up in the individual competition and was then selected in the state team to compete at the Trans-Tasman Championships in Brisbane.

Her performance gained her selection in the Australian All-Schools team to take on the New Zealand schools’ team.

Hugh Sienkiewicz was named recipient of the Dub-

bo College Sports Organiser’s Award, a special recognition of his leadership, talent and ethos of sportsmanship in all the teams with which he has been involved.

Mr May said Hugh’s example as a role model for all sportspeople at Dubbo College is outstanding.

“This year Hugh competed in four sports for the Astley Cup Competition – basketball, athletics, tennis and soccer.

“He was also a part of the 21/22 open cricket team, the 2022 open soccer team which made the state quarter finals and the CHS Basketball team which made the final 16 teams in NSW. “Hugh’s is an outstanding achievement across all areas of sport.”

Dubbo Photo News joins in congratulating these three outstanding young sportspeople.

Local player Jim McDonald almost carded his age – 73 off the stick on Tuesday – it was a great achievement for the 72-year-old!

Unfortunately, 25mm of rain on Wednesday meant the course superintendent had to close the course to carts on Thursday and Friday. This significantly diminished the numbers, however it was excellent to note how many players were able to complete 18 holes each day.

Bob Wilson, one of many outstanding contributors to the tournament, directed players on Thursday to new groups which resulted in 48 men and 25 women (73 starters) playing 18 holes on a very wet course. Everyone was apparently in good spirits.

Bob was responsible for ensuring tees were set forward making the play much more accessible for the vets.

Course superintendent Michael Wherritt and staff did a great job preparing the course. Despite the wet,

Friday was the 18-hole Ambrose with 76 starters. There was a prize pool of $500 for this event which was won by a local/visitor pairing.

There were 110 people at the lunch, including sponsors, making it a great success, catered for by Laraine Mindham and her lovely ladies.

Gus Lico, CEO Dubbo RSL, and Clint Gross, CEO Orana Gardens, attended in their capacities as major sponsors. We are very grateful for their support.

We are always pleased to have Dubbo Golf Club president Niall McNicol attend events, and we also welcomed Dubbo Regional Council mayor Mathew Dickerson.

Special thanks to NSW VGA office bearers John Daley (vice president), Alleyne Williams (secretary), Peter Guy (web master), John Dixon (committee) and Richard Doyle (immediate past president).

It would be remiss not to mention the wonderful work that so many of our senior golfers do in our community. Golf for the “oldies” on Tuesday and Friday is not only a test of skill and great exercise but is also a chance to socialise, as well as enjoy the company of old and new friends.

Dubbo Vets Golf is open to men and women with combined events at the end of each month when we have a sausage sizzle and special awards.

Williams and Mann retain state title

By GEOFF MANN

NARROMINE golfers Rob Williams and Tony Mann retained their Veterans NSW Men’s Fourball Championship after a two year pandemic-related hiatus.

The pairing of current club champion Williams with former champ Tony Mann proved decisive. They won the last title played in 2019 and defended it this year with a three-point victory over Peter Hutchinson (Narromine) and Gary Wilkins (Cobar).

Williams and Mann had rounds of 36/38 racking up 76 stableford points for the 36-hole scratch event to win by three from Hutchinson and Wilkins with the Barraba pairing of Kevin Kelaher and Peter York finishing third.

According to Tournament organiser Norm Lewis, 58 players competed in the event, a sign that life is returning to “normal”.

“The tournament was a huge success with players representing 12 clubs as far as Grafton in the north to Port Kembla (south) and

Mr Daley said it was the Association’s policy to take these Tournaments to the country and announced that Narromine had been allocated the state championships

for 2023 and 2024.

“Many favourable comments in relation to the condition of the course were received from visitors. They were very happy with the conduct of the tournament. These words were echoed by Bruce Mitchell who thanked all those who helped,” Norm said.

“The Members Committee presented our course magnificently after some uncertain and difficult weeks heading into it. Our Ladies were invaluable with their assistance processing the cards and results along with the catering which was first class, and barbecue cooks and bar staff kept everyone well fed and hydrated,” Norm added.

“Bruce said the Vets appreciated the ongoing support of the Narromine Shire Council and the Veterans Committee for their work leading into and during the Tournament.”

Aston is living the dream

By GEOFF MANN

SOUTH Dubbo and Macquarie Raiders junior Aston Warwick is living the dream. On Sunday he celebrated his second premiership of the season with Penrith Panthers.

Earlier in the year he was in the SG Ball Under-19 winning team; on Sunday he had to endure double extra time before his half back landed the match-winning field goal.

Aston is enjoying life with the Panthers who created history on Sunday, adding Flegg and NSW Cup titles to the SG Ball.

Brad Fearnley (Bathurst) and Sam Lane (Lithgow) played alongside Aston in Western Rams

Ducky welcome for Taylor Darlington

AMONG the 18 togged up Ducks at the swimming club’s latest meet was newcomer Taylor.

She witnessed the consistency of Peter Hargreaves who took out the final of the 50 metre Freestyle for the second week in a row. Roger Mackay was a close second with Judy Walsh third.

Old and young teamed up with Norm Bahr and Mia Uebergang within a touch (0.02) of Louise Taylor and Bill Greenwood in the final of the 2x25 metre Breaststroke/ Breaststroke relay.

Jack Allen won the closest to time 50 metre Backstroke, just 0.31 seconds off his time. Jacob Pearce was second; Mark Scullard third while Pete Hargreaves and Jacob Pearce tied for first in the closest to time 25 metre Breaststroke.

September points score: Mark Prentice 58, Judy Walsh 55, Henry Willcockson 51

ing their last ends with just four shots, while Vicki, Frank and Eric carded another triple and a single to record a decisive 24-11 win.

first “western Sydney NRL Derby”, Dubbo’s Combo Bowlers were rubbing their eyes at the sun.

Our correspondent Pistol Pete was up with the chooks to down a coffee and head onto the synthetics at RSL Sporties North Dubbo!

A new record – 46 bowlers, all happy and wanting to be winners on such a nice morning.

Ron Morrison, Steve Kelly and Pete Sinclair on rink 1 started strongly and let Helen Emblen, Doc Livingston and Greg Brown by five before they coughed up two on the eighth end.

The second half ebbed and flowed, both teams trying to gain a decisive advantage. Ron and Co sealed it with four and three on the last two to claim victory 19-12.

In a game that had quite a few multiple scores, Mary Perry, Roger Sherwin and Tod O’Dea, were

a huge five on the next. Their seven shot lead was pared back when Col and his team grabbed their own quadruple and then added three more on End 9 hots on end 9 and a massive six on end 13.

A bit of pressure applied by Mary, Roger and Tod almost caused a boil over, scoring five shots from ends 10 to 14. In a tense finale, Col and his partners closed it out with a triple on the last – 20-17 final score.

Ray Strawhan, Julie Brown and John Davis were no match for Vicki Hummel, Frank Armstrong and Eric Satchell. The first dagger came from Eric’s side – a four on end 4 handed them a six shot lead.

Another quad on the next and it was to be end Six before their opponent’s rolled in a triple to gain a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, John’s side could not recover, clos-

Shirley Marchant was the lead for Chris Strojny and Paul Goodstat added a big five on End 4 to lead Allan Andriske, Gordon Lummis and Chris Cristante. The chasers recovered somewhat, scoring on the last four ends of the first half.

Paul’s team’s lead stayed at three until end 12 and they were beginning to think “win”. Allan and Gordon and Chris had other ideas, scoring a count a double on 13 and a triple on the next to grab the lead for the first time.

It was a ‘see-to-be-believed’ effort by Allan, Gordon and Chris on the last end, combining for a game-taking eight shots and an incredible 22 shots to 13 result. Joy for Chris’s side; headshakes of disbelief from Shirley, Chris and Paul.

Sue McCauley, Mel Giddings and John Hayden against Sue O’Dea, Karen Greenhalge and Debbie Hayden. Hubby John side shocked “the others” with a 7 shot count nearing the turnaround but wife Debbie was not settling for this, urging her side to do better. They did – a triple and a couple of singles to get them near the lead.

But John’s side led comfortably by four shots at the turnaround. Game of two halves... Debbie and her team rallied, putting in a double and then a 4 on ends 9 and 10 to take over the lead; John’s side followed up with a single, but the sun was shining over Sue, Karen and Debbie and End 12 they rewarded themselves with a six shot haul. Despite some clawback, “the wife” and her partners downed “hubby” 21-16.

Playing against Sue Armstrong, Dave Davis and Col Cottee, the

team of Ron McCauley, Pete Ruzans and Ricky See rolled off to a bright opening with a five shot lead after two ends, however Col’s side replied and added one with their six on six! They added two more by halfway. Rick’s team hit back with a five; Col’s team did the same plus three and held off the opposition to win 18-15.

Cooper McMullen and Gordon Scott paired up against Allan Stratford and Greg Hough. After an even first eight, Cooper and Gordon clicked into gear, adding three shots to lead after 10 and another 11 with two ends remaining. Coop and Gordon took the game 23 shots to 9; 11 ends to 5.

Winners and runners up are in the hands of “the bunker” at time of writing.

Resters – Col Dover, Mel Giddings, Karen Greenhalge, Ron McCauley and Allan Stratford.

Lucky numbers – Chris Strojny, Allan Stratford and Sue McCauley.
