TEACHING: IT’S A LIFE

CHOICE, NOT A DAY JOB

By JOHN RYAN

LINDA Macleod’s first netball game ended in tears, but today the region’s most recognised netball coach is laughing about her first experience with the game she loves.

“I started playing netball in Wagga, in the Under-8s. I played

goalkeeper because I was tall. I literally folded my arms underneath the post and cried and my parents thought I would never play netball again, but thankfully I did,” she said.

Mrs Macleod, who is also Dubbo College South Campus principal, was recently inducted as the tenth life member of the Western

Region Academy of Sport.

Students Sophie McAneney, Addison Rufus and Taliyah Lovett are keen netball players and love the fact their principal understands the importance of sport for so many young lives.

Sophie says it’s great to see Linda Macleod taking such an interest in the extracurricular activi-

ties of her students.

“Coaches are very important, they help us get better, it’s nice they give up their time.

“There are hundreds of girls paying netball just in Dubbo every weekend, and all those teams need coaches.

“She’s very good, it’s great to have a principal who understands

netball,” Sophie said.

A call for support to Dubbo farmers

THE Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) NSW is reminding primary producers and other businesses across regional NSW that their team is available to speak to.

Executive officer David Galloway said the wet weather has impacted local farmers financially by the effects of rainfall, flooding, damage to crops, and infrastructure.

“When you’re in the midst of a crisis, it can sometimes feel impossible to see a way out, especially when costs and interest rates are continuing to rise, and years of planned income are being simultaneously knocked out,” Mr Galloway said.

Mr Galloway ensured the free service specialised in agricultural and rural business financial management.

RFCS can be contacted via phone on 1800 319 458.

With water, water everywhere, a brief pause to celebrate a new Water office

By JOHN RYAN

THERE’S plenty of water around, and with rain bucketing down over the past few months, dams at or near capacity and the rivers and creeks flowing, it’s a balancing act to manage flood mitigation while also releasing enough water so Burrendong Dam can continue to serve that vital purpose.

Now the agency which oversees our dams has opened a new office in Dubbo, WaterNSW setting up shop in a Bourke Street location.

The Dubbo Office is the first in the state which has been fitted out specifically in line with the organisation’s new way of working – a good mixture of flexible spaces including collaboration, break out, formal and informal spaces.

Artist Nathan Peckham and students from Mian School were in attendance at the opening so staff were able to thank the kids for their amazing artwork that sits proudly in the new office.

WaterNSW says the artwork reflects and strengthens the focus and commitment to improved engagement with Aboriginal communities and stakeholders, fostering deeper understanding and cultural awareness within the business.

WaterNSW CEO Andrew George was in town for the occasion along with the executive team.

A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS

By JOHN RYAN

WAYNE Schneider is a huge fan of the new $4.37 million Terrabella Bridge that spans the Little River not far to the south-east of Dubbo.

“I use the bridge regularly, this is beautiful, brilliant,” Mr Schneider said, pointing out the old bridge was low level, poorly aligned, narrow and rickety and farmers crossing with wide machinery such

other people using the road.

“I’ve got a farm on the other side of the river, and I’ve got a couple of houses in Geurie so I’m always travelling through here, but this is brilliant, you don’t even know it’s a bridge any more, with the old one, you always thought about having to cross it.

“The old bridge (covered in flood debris in the same photo) always wet sorts of years, and even though

THE One Eye Film Festival is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year by showcasing unique regional, national and international films to a local audience.

The festival will be held at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre on Saturday, November 19, followed by two workshops on Sunday.

Actor on acclaimed Foxtel series “The Twelve”, Ngali Shaw, will be hosting a workshop reflecting on his opportunities and experience as a young actor navigating his career.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back and discussing with people about what it’s like getting in the industry,” said Ngali, who hails from Dubbo.

“I know there are many talented people in Dubbo so I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of them.”

The films selected for the night have been chosen by this year’s cu-

rator Johnathon Page who was an executive producer on “The Babadook” and other projects.

Dubbo local Jorja Fuller will be showcasing her short film on the night “Sincerely, Anxiety” which has been awarded Best Microfilm in the Europe Independent Movie Festival and an AusAsia Creative award.

The 57-second film documents Jorja’s real experience of a panic attack to advocate mental health, focusing on young adult vulnerability.

“I wanted it to feel very personal, but it was definitely hard to pull out my camera and record it,” Jorja said.

“It was pretty hard to look back at the footage while I was editing, there were times when I had to stop and take a break.”

Reflecting on her filmography, she said a lot of the films she had made previously focused on mental ill health.

Graduating from Dubbo College, Jorja said her teacher Lisa Wilson

inspired her to pursue and create film with meaning.

Her interest in film began nine years ago when she would go on holidays with her nan.

“I would make little videos – let’s be honest, they were quite ordinary, but I gradually got more comfortable,” Jorja said.

“I’m completely independent with my film, I will set the camera up, put a timer on, record myself, write the scripts, and try to find the audio.”

Even though Jorja feels empowered producing films advocating on mental health issues and her personal struggles, she does not want to be known for her mental illnesses.

“I want to continue doing it because it’s important, but I want to make more films and experiment different types of genres,” Jorja said.

The One Eyre Film Festival is an opportunity to showcase the local talent of the Dubbo region.

STUDIO 138’s newest short film ‘Fell Purpose’ is based on Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ and focuses on the strength of women and resilience through the historic piece.

The preview screening will be held at the Black Box Theatre on Monday, October 31, at 6.30pm with an additional screening at the Dubbo Filmmaker’s One Eye Film Festival on Saturday, November 19.

Filmmaker Erifili Davis ensured the film projected the voice of women and provided a different perspective to the traditional play.

“There is obviously so much you could do in a short film so it’s only a snippet of what we’re capable of,” Mrs Davis said.

The crew participated in workshops and rehearsals, and had the

opportunity to receive coaching from Australian Film and Television School (AFTRS) lecturer Gareth Tilson.

Mrs Davis had been cast as Lady Macbeth in a former stage performance and enjoyed the vast interpretations the literature has on modern day performances.

“Shakespeare’s stories are really interesting and there is a lot of cool stuff going on,” she said.

“Usually in Shakespeare, even if there are strong female characters, they all end up in a heap by the end – which is disappointing.”

Filming on an iPhone, Mrs Davis said there were some limitations yet flexibility in the production.

“There were moments when we wanted to try something out and we did it because it was easy as there was not much setting up to do,” Mrs Davis said.

“It was a lot of fun.”

Lady Macbeth and sisters in the film, Georgie Saunders, Kalina Davis and Milla Ross, enjoyed using Shakespearean language and using different tonal registers.

“It’s weird to almost go back in time and practice Shakespearean literature, especially because we have been brought up with it through school,” Miss Saunders said.

“It’s cool to experience where we came from and where we are now.

“This version of ‘Macbeth’ has been broken down entirely to three or four characters, but a lot of people are making it their own.”

Miss Ross said throughout the film she had the opportunity of lowering the register in her voice and speaking with clearer tones.

“I really pushed myself vocally, so it was exciting to do something

different with my voice and play with it a bit more,” Miss Ross said.

“We don’t often get a chance to play with fantasy or explore medieval themes, so the film is very different to what we have previously done.”

Miss Davis said she enjoyed her role as it was different to what she had previously done.

“I loved getting into character – screaming and cackling was so much fun,” Miss Davis said.

Miss Davis said she was also challenged by the role because she is not a confident dancer.

“I like to sing, I like to act – one thing I am not is a dancer,” she said.

“I have two left feet.

“Everyone else about me has a beat, except my legs.”

The project was supported by Orana Arts through the Country Arts Support Program grant.

3D printed amenities at local park

A 3D printed amenities block will be built at Lions Park in Dubbo.

Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) mayor Mathew Dickerson said the current amenities were in need of replacement and were looking for innovative ways to improve sustainability in the community.

Contour 3D and CEL Australia were successful in being able to display both the capability and technology to deliver the amenities project.

“Constructing the amenities block with 3D technology will provide us with learning opportunities and insights into best practices, so we can better envision how 3D houses will provide affordable and sustainable housing solutions in our region,” Cr Dickerson said.

Council’s manager building assets Ian Whipple said the printed block will have lower environmental impact and wastage.

Four residential blocks in Keswick Estate Stage 5 Release 3 have been set aside for 3D housing projects in the future.

Temporary toilets will be installed at Lions Park while the project is underway.

Filmmaker Erifili Davis, and actors Kalina Davis, Georgie Saunders and Milla Ross, are excited to showcase their latest project.

MATHS is the subject dreaded by those who don’t have an intuitive feel for it, and loved by students who have built-in calculators inside their heads.

One hundred and twenty-six candidates at Dubbo College sat this year’s HSC Maths papers, in either Standard or Advanced Mathematics, and Dubbo College Head Mathematics teacher Sonya Cox praised the efforts of her students.

“This cohort of students have worked hard for their results. Their commitment to study is to be commended,” Mrs Cox said, confirming the school’s Maths faculty believed the papers to be

Student Claudia Tegart is looking forward to studying Vision Science next year and exited the advanced maths exam feeling satisfied with her efforts.

“It was a fair exam, if it’s what you had worked towards,” Claudia said.

Fellow student John Toohey is hoping to pursue a career in teaching and was happy to take advantage of the reading time to settle into the exam.

“I feel like my first look through the paper – it appeared hard, but the second time, some of the hard bits appeared easier. My brain had warmed up,” he said.

Hunter Van Kruyssen is hoping to study engineering and acknowledged

“Doing past papers, following up on feedback, getting good sleep and eating well,” Hunter suggested as being the best approach.

The students praised their teachers for their commitment during the past two years which have been difficult in many ways.

“Our teachers are really good, the number of resources we received was great, and they always come in for holiday and after school tutoring,” Claudia Tegart said.

The 2022 HSC exams will conclude on Friday, November 4, with the final exam being Design and Technology.

IN just 18 months, stellar work by metallurgical technician Isaac Heath in the graduate program at Alkane’s Tomingley Gold Operations has been rewarded with a move into the role of plant metallurgist and a nomination for a top mining award.

It’s a meteoric rise for the 25-year-old from Dubbo who joined Tomingley Gold Mine as a graduate metallurgist in early 2021. It is Isaac’s first professional role since graduating from the University of NSW in 2020 with a double degree in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering.

When he joined Tomingley Gold’s graduate program in 2021, it was expected that Isaac would spend the next three years gaining experience working in handson roles across every part of the processing plant – from the ore crushing circuit and gold recovery through to final pouring of gold bars.

However, his excellent performance saw him accelerate through the graduate program, resulting in his promotion to plant metallurgist after just 18 months.

Metallurgist nominated for major mining award

Free Walk Towards Hope to support local suicide awareness

“CREATING Hope Through Action” is the theme of a free community event to be held in Dubbo this Saturday (October 29).

NALAG will be conducting the ‘Walk Towards Hope – a Suicide Awareness and Prevention activity’ which, due to the wet weather, has had a change of venue. NALAG will now conduct the ceremony at the Centenary Pavilion at the Dubbo Showground.

“The Walk has been a tradition of NALAG for some time now, however it was unable to take place for the last two years due to COVID restrictions. This year we are back and want to get the message out there that help is available if you are feeling down,” said Gerry O’Leary from NALAG’s Dubbo office.

“Walk with us to promote suicide awareness, prevention and support in the Dubbo region.”

Free T-shirts will be available on arrival, but stock is limited so organisers suggest you arrive early.

“We will assemble at 11am at the Centenary Pavilion and commence the walk at 11.30am followed by a remembrance ceremony then a free barbecue lunch,” Mr O’Leary said.

NSW Minister for Mental Health, Regional Youth and Women, Bronnie Taylor, will be attending the day as well as local member Dugald Saunders.

“I definitely learned a lot in my first 18 months here. It was a steep learning curve when I started out,” Isaac said.

“Now I’m moving into more of a technical role where I can use my engineering and metallurgy skills that I developed at uni.”

The plant metallurgist is responsible for process stream troubleshooting, providing technical support to operations and maintenance, plant optimisation and metallurgical accounting (e.g. tonnes of ore milled, metal balance, gold recovery, etc) to ensure peak performance at Tomingley’s processing plant which operates 24 hours a day to recover gold from the ore mined onsite.

Isaac is also leading some process improvement projects, designed to improve gold recoveries.

Of his role, Isaac said it involves “making sure that we are recovering as much of the gold as possible, and looking at ways to improve the process and extracting more gold. It is interesting work.”

He and the “met team” he works with also provide support to the maintenance and operational teams.

Isaac was one of five finalists

vying for the NSW Mining Young Achiever of the Year Award, which was announced on October 13 at the NSW Mining Industry and Suppliers Awards Dinner at Parliament House in Sydney. While Isaac was not the winner in his category on the night, he was singled out for special mention in his highly competitive category.

It was a very special evening for Isaac, who was joined at the event by his wife Georgia, parents Karen and Philip Heath, senior Alkane and Tomingley Gold Operations staff including the Alkane Chairman Ian Gandel, and Member for Dubbo and Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Dugald Saunders.

“I was excited to hear that I was nominated for the award and that people think the work I have done here is worthy enough to be nominated. It’s encouragement to keep going,” Isaac said.

Some of the reasons why Isaac was nominated for the award by Tomingley Gold Operations included that he has made significant contributions to improving plant operations, including gold recovery which has led to

large economic benefits for the company.

Isaac has done this through overcoming a long-standing gold spillage issue in the gold room and developing a maintenance regime for continuous improvement of the plant gravity circuit to improve gold recoveries.

He also built the business case to install an onsite water purification unit to eliminate manual handling of 20-litre drums (a significant safety improvement) and supply issues, and swiftly become the resident expert for the operation and trouble-shooting of much of the plant’s equipment.

Outside of work, Isaac enjoys playing football and cricket in the local Dubbo competitions. His AFL team, the Dubbo Demons, made the finals this year in the central west competition and he also plays for the Newtown Tigers in the Dubbo District Cricket Association competition. He is also a keen bushwalker, especially in the Blue Mountains.

Congratulations to Isaac on his nomination.

Note: Tomingley Gold Operations is a Foundation Sponsor of our sister publication, Narromine Star.

“There is no need to register for the day, but your presence will send a great message of hope to the community to reinforce help is available,” Mr O’Leary said.

All are welcome with no registration necessary.

Four musketeers, mates for life

By JOHN RYAN

DAVID Atkins is a bloke who thinks ahead when it comes to the distant past.

His Year 5 class of 1966 at South Dubbo public School had a reunion at the Westside Hotel last Saturday night and after glancing at an old class photo, he started making plans for something special, based on himself and three mates who sat next to each other in the class photo 56 years ago.

“I knew myself and the oth-

er three boys were coming so I screenshot the old school photo and said to the lads, ‘we are going to recreate this picture’,” he told Dubbo Photo News

“The two David’s are still in Dubbo, Geoff and Butch over on the coast.

“We all talk on Facebook and Messenger, the reunion was planned for August of the year Covid started and kept being put back, but we finally got it in.”

Great mates, great memories.

Dubbo students winners at solving future problems

By JOHN RYAN

A group of Dubbo students will be jetting off to compete against the world’s best in the USA after winning their categories at the Future Problem Solving Nationals held in Melbourne.

The Academy Year 10 team, consisting of George Ashcroft, Carrigan Baker and Noah Randell, placed first in Australia for the team’s Community Problem Solving entry ‘Democratising Democracy’, a project in which they created stepby-step and easy-to-follow guides to help people know how to run for local government – the aim of the project was to address a distinct lack of diversity in NSW local councils.

Year 10 Academy student Finn Randell came first in the Individual category for Community Problem Solving. He completed a Reconciliation Project where he worked in conjunction with CSU’s Indigenous Studies Department to record podcasts of local Elders’ lived histories.

The podcast series is

called Capturing Our Histories, with five local Elders interviewed and set out across three podcast episodes.

Future Problem Solving is a research-based academic program that teaches problem solving strategies, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, and effective communication. The interdisciplinary approach helps develop ethical leadership skills and provides a unique opportunity for students to learn and apply essential life skills in the 21st century.

Community Problem Solving team representative Noah Randell said a thriving town relies on a strong connection between the council members and community.

“Feeling excluded can cause community disenfranchisement from council affairs. This sort of real-world learning is absolutely essential for developing strong leadership skills and building confidence and empathy with your community.”

This is the second time a school west of the Blue

Mountains has qualified for the international competition, all of those from the Academy.

Academy principal Mandi Randell said she was extremely proud of the students’ efforts and the outcome they achieved.

“Our school values the ‘6 Cs’ of critical thinking: creativity, citizenship, communication, coding and technology, and collaboration.

“Our Year 10 students chose an issue that mattered to them and we helped them craft a community change project – it took extensive research, teamwork, community engagement and project management over three terms.

“The two achievements demonstrate the Academy’s students excel in all 6Cs which are important for success, and we are proud to be developing best-inthe-nation students right here in Dubbo.”

Both Academy entries will represent Australia at the International Future Problem Solving Finals at the University of Massachusetts in the USA on June 8-10 next year.

Community Problem Solving team members Carrigan Baker, Noah Randell and George Ashcroft were over the moon at being named Australia’s best.

Giving greyhounds a new home

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

WITH a short span in commercial racing, Greyhounds as Pets (GAP) NSW is an initiative established to rehome retired greyhounds to families across regional and metropolitan regions.

The not-for-profit program was coordinated by Greyhounds Racing NSW to provide trainers and racing owners the opportunity to rehome their dogs.

Living just out of Dubbo, Lee O’Connor has adopted two pets through the organisation in the past 12 months.

His dogs, Charlotte and Lilly, have settled well into the family over the past few months.

“We went on the GAP website and filled out a survey to get matched with a dog that was most suited to our needs,” Mr O’Connor told Dubbo Photo News

“After having a good experience with Charlotte, we decided we wanted another greyhound.

“They’re very good dogs, they’ll sleep and sit on the couch with you –they’re the perfect family pet.

“They were trained very well.”

Mr O’Connor said the nature of greyhounds attracted him to the breed.

“It’s also (about supporting the) the cause, and knowing that we were saving them,” Mr O’Connor said.

He said he often takes the pair into Dubbo to minimise the stigma of greyhounds within the community.

“They really aren’t vicious dogs, they’re placid and have been well trained.

“They sleep most of the day.”

Mr O’Connor recommends GAP to other families wanting a perfect family pet.

Chopped top is top of the hot rods

By JOHN RYAN

Steve Shorten is Street Rodders

United president and his radical hot rod/street machine caused plenty of second glances during a recent club run to Dubbo.

Street Rodders United is a group of car enthusiasts which covers the Central West, with members spanning from Dubbo all the way down to Oberon and, even in that radical rod company, Steve’s me chanical steed is a standout.

“My car’s a ’53 Chev and it was built by Dave Hart, who’s a God in the Hot Rod world when it comes to customisation. It’s a true custom in that ARSF (Australian Street Rod Federation) Rule book, the customs done to it are body customs, interior customs, exterior customs and driveline customs,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

“It’s a ’53 Chev but it’s got ’56 Buick tail-lights, it’s had a three-inch roof chop, XJS Jaguar headlights, it’s running a 350ci small block Chev with a Turbo 350 transmission, a Ford 9” rear end, jaguar spats on the rear wheels and custom interior, gauge pods, and what have you.

“When I started off in Hot Rodding I had a ’23 T-Bucket, I got too old for getting in a car with no doors,” he laughed, “So we were looking for something with windows and doors and a roof and this came up for sale five or six years ago and I bought it in Melbourne, the bloke who’d bought it couldn’t get it ‘engineered’ in Victoria, he was disgruntled so he sold it to me.”

Dubbo Photo News pointed out that you don’t often see this level of full-on customisation in Austra lia, with the ’53 more like a cruiser that wouldn’t look out of place in a Hollywood blockbuster.

“Dead right, Dave Hart, Ameri can cars is where his forte is, he’ made some beautiful cars, I suppose you could near call him the Ed Roth of Australia with all the beautiful cars he’s built, he does go right into full custom, he’s still building cars on the Central Coast,” he said, remarking that for all it’s radical modifications, the car is great fun to drive, and a practical daily driver as well.

“It’s beautiful, it’s all fun, I can drive it anywhere, it’s a driver, it’s got a towbar, we tow a 12’ caravan with it, we go to the Nationals in

it, last time we went to the Street Rod Nationals in Queensland we did 4500 kilometres on that journey, return, that year we did 11,000 kilometres in it, going to rod runs and what have you, Eas ter this year we went to Tasmania and did 4000 kilometres in two weeks, we didn’t tow the van down there.”

Celebration of learning culture at South Public

By JOHN RYAN

CELEBRATIONS will be in full swing at Dubbo South Public tomorrow (October 28) for World Teachers Day, with staff at the school recognised by the national education body Australian Institute for School Leaders and Teachers (AITSL) for the school’s efforts to build a growth learning culture at the school.

A video case study showcasing South Public’s innovative practices has been launched on the AITSL’s website as part of a new suite of ‘Growth-focused evaluations’ resources.

The Teacher Effectiveness Case Study, ‘Using data to grow practice’, is designed to provoke the thinking of educators across Australia to modernise practices to support the growth of students and teachers in a sustainable and efficient way, according to Principal Sharon Murray.

“We have been on a journey to increase the impact our teachers have on all our students by effectively using data,” Ms Murray said.

“It was wonderful for the work Dubbo South Public School leaders and teachers have done to build a culture to be validated and celebrated with this case study.”

Assistant Principal Lisa Lunn said it’s crucial that educators can measure the fruits of their labours.

“As teachers we come to school and what we really want is to go home knowing we have had an impact on your students,” Mrs

Lunn said.

Assistant Principal Curriculum and Instruction and highly accomplished teacher Natalie Polak said the school was excited to be putting so much focus on producing a “really rich learning culture”.

“Teachers now, orientated by data, are actually able to measure student growth, and have got

more confidence in being able to exert energy in areas that have impact, which means they are naturally leaving things that were not having impact behind.

“We are on a growth journey –I am talking about every student growing, every student feeling like the next step in attainment for them. That is what an effective teacher is.”

Ms Murray said AITSL’s spotlighting of this work affirms Dubbo South Public School’s commitment to this innovative work.

Have your say about regional telecommunications

THERE will be a parliamentary inquiry focusing on the mobile infrastructure across regional Australia.

The House Communications and the Arts Committee will hear evidence on experience, opportunities, and challenges for co-investment in regional mobile carrier infrastructure.

Chair Brian Mitchell said telecommunication providers in regional areas need to be developed to ensure safety to residents.

“Connectivity and infrastructure are critical drivers of regional development,” Mr Mitchell said.

“It is particularly important we hear directly from our rural, regional, and remote communities to hear their views on connecting and staying connected to telecommunications infrastructure.”

Online submissions can be made until Thursday, November 10 via the committee’s website.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Max fitting himself for the future

By JOHN RYAN

AT just 17, Max Cruickshank is well into his first year as an apprentice fitter at Fletcher International Exports and, while he’s living away from home, he’s confident his family knows the company is looking after him across the board.

He grew up in Gilgandra and moved to Condobolin where his father manages the Fletcher farming operations and his mum is also employed on the farm.

“My brother is an apprentice boiler maker out here, Toby’s in fourth year and we live here,” he told Dubbo Photo News

“I was in Condo for five years and only moved to Dubbo this year, I finished Year 10 and wanted to start working, I’ve always liked doing stuff with my hands and this job came up so I took it.

“I’ve seen how the company treats the rest of my family and that gave me plenty of confidence to work here, 100 per cent.”

Many 17-year-olds would find it daunting to move away from home and live independently, not to mention starting a new job, but Max believes the workplace culture at Fletcher International provides great structure and certainty to people wanting to get a head start in their career.

“They look after you, if you

want something they’ll try and help you, that’s really good.”

And he says the job itself is interesting and rewarding, the plant maintenance crew providing a broader range of experiences and

learnings than most workplaces.

“A lot of people learning this trade either do fitting, or they do the turning part of the trade and it’s good here, you get a variety of work so you learn both sides, we

do a lot of pneumatics and machining, we do everything, it’s good and then we might get to fit the parts we make and the other tradies teach us things because we all work together,” he said.

“The company looks after you, there’s not too much pressure, they want workers to be here for the long-term.

“Having my brother here has helped, he already knew a lot of people and he’s shown me the way things work out here.

He says it’s boosted his confidence, the fact he’s making his own money and has been able to buy a car and live independently at such a young age.

“It’s the best thing, it’s good, earning money, having your own things and not having to ask your parents all the time.

“Dubbo’s good, there’s more shops than Condo.” With the current skills’ shortage, which is projected to last many years into the future, Max says Fletcher International is a great place to start learning all sorts of new skills, and he says school leavers have plenty of opportunities including becoming a Harvest Casual at the Fletcher Grain Terminal, where 16-yearsolds start on $25 per hour.

“I reckon it’s a good idea for kids leaving school to apply for things like the harvest jobs at the grain terminal here, they’ll learn all different things and they may want to continue with that in their future, there’s so many different opportunities here.”

Santa’s helper spreading Christmas cheer to Dubbo residents

EVER since Carmel Powyer was a little girl, she has always loved Christmas.

A realisation of not wanting to let the spirit go while keeping the holiday alive for the other 364 days of the year, Carmel opened the Christmas Shop in 2014.

Carmel said the recent addition of Lilli’s Polar Express Cafe added a cosiness to the store.

“Having this shop is my way of clinging onto the holiday and I brought that feel to my children so they would understand how we used to celebrate it,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

She said family and the act of getting together drew her to the seasoned holiday.

“You know you’re doing something right when kids come up to you and say, ‘it isn’t about the presents, I love it when we’re here as a family’,” Carmel said.

“When you get young ones saying that – it means something.”

Carmel and her relatives celebrated last Christmas by wearing matching shirts and are planning to do a similar act this year.

“We’re like a tribe when we’re all together, I’m sure it’s going to be another fantastic Christmas this year,” she said.

Even though Australians have one public holiday to mark the occasion, she said many people are beginning to put their trees up in October.

“I heard people saying that by the time they put their decorations up in December they have to take them down,” Carmel said.

“Instead of having them up for a couple of weeks, people want to be more organised and get more out of the season.

“It’s a wonderful time of year so why not start celebrating earlier?”

While the spirit of Christmas peaks in December, Carmel says Christmas in July is gaining popularity in the region.

Over the years she has noticed people are starting to buy deco-

rations and other items earlier in preparation for the expensive time of year.

“By the time you get over Christmas and have a bit of a break, you go to the buying and thinking about the next Christmas,” she said.

“We all know how fast Christmas comes around each year so by the time it is over, we’re already chasing the ball for the next year.”

Carmel also operates an online store to provide the Christmas cheer to people living outside the Dubbo region.

“I have regulars from Tasmania who buy throughout the year,” she said.

Carmel’s spirit is kept alive from the children who enter the store.

“It really makes my day when people come in and are in awe about it all,” Carmel said.

“It’s beautiful to sit back and listen to them going back through their memories.”

Applications made ‘ezy’

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

COUNCIL Applications Made Ezy aids Dubbo individuals and builders to submit domestic applications through the NSW Planning Portal.

Founder Chris Ansoul worked in Dubbo Regional Council’s customer service department and received a lot of feedback since the electronic changes in July 2021.

Mr Ansoul specialises in preparing applications for domestic builds, including sheds, garages, swimming pools, and other domestic scale structures.

“When this new system was introduced, there were a lot of negative reports saying people could not navigate the portal because of the clunkiness,” Mr Ansoul said.

“A lot of people didn’t know how to answer the questions or understand what the questions were

even asking.”

Mr Ansoul registered his business last year but began operating a few months ago as the need for electronic support was growing.

“A lot of the clients I have are local builders who would prefer to spend their time building rather than spending two or three hours preparing documentation for work to come,” Mr Ansoul said.

Having more than five decades of building experience, Mr Ansoul has more than a peripheral knowledge of what makes a successful application.

“My first couple of clients gave me an insight on where the difficulties and nuances were in the portal,” Mr Ansoul said.

“For instance, when it asks you to put values in, you’re not supposed to put commas or signs in otherwise it will not let you continue.

“Clients find this extremely frustrating because it doesn’t actually tell you what you did wrong.”

Mr Ansoul said he is not involved with determining whether or not documents are suitable for the application however his experience in customer service grants him more knowledge of what is needed.

“Someone might be applying for something on a rural property and may not know it is bushfire prone so they would need to change their plan to accommodate that,” Mr Ansoul said.

“If I didn’t know that there would most likely be delays in processing.”

He said he enjoys the work and is satisfied when his client’s applications get approved.

“I like working with local people, I find it a lot more rewarding than commercial properties,” he said.

Where do you work? Petries

Mitre 10 Dubbo for just over 1 year now and i absolutely love it.

What’s your job? Paint Department Manager

Best part of your job? Meeting a wide variety of people from different areas and age gaps and building and sustaining good relationships with trade painters.

If you could work with a celebrity, who would it be and why?

Jonah Hill. I love his movies, they cheer me up and make me laugh. We’re both comedians, both have bad bleached hair, tattoos. If we

actually worked together i doubt any work would actually get done.

Something you can’t live without? I would have to say my two dogs back home in Newcastle. I miss them very much and dogs love people, unconditionally. When you were a child, what did you want to grow up to be?

A professional clown, although my co-workers may say I’ve achieved that. My current dream job is to join the NSW police force.

Naughtiest thing you did as a child? When I was about 5, I went grocery shopping with my mum and I wanted to play the choco-

late claw machine and she said no, so, when she fell asleep later that afternoon at home, I snuck out my bedroom window in my pyjamas with my piggy bank and walked 4km to the shops just to play the chocolate machine. I won so much that police had to drive me home. My mother was crying when I was returned. I assumed she was crying tears of joy from all the chocolate I won!

Most embarrassing moment at work? When I bleached my hair a couple months ago everyone ask if i lost a bet and they all called me Slim Shady and Lightbulb.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Firies need Triple-0 assistance from public

THIS is a bit disturbing. Firefighters have told me that over recent months, members of the public are calling the fire station phone number through the local exchange to report fires and other emergencies.

So, this is a reminder to anyone reporting a fire, or any emergency, to please call 000 (Triple-0) to ensure the most appropriate resource is allocated. The correct number is ‘000’.

Calling the local firies, cops, paramedics or rescue squad ties up local frontline first responders, and by not following the established coordinated system, delays could be caused and lives and property could be placed in danger.

By using the 000 service the operator for Fire+Rescue, Police or Ambulance can gather information on the incident and respond with the quickest resource to assist. In many situations the operator can stay on the line with the caller to provide advice whilst the crews are responding.

Drones drowned by flood rules

YOU’RE not allowed to fly drones in the vicinity of flood-affected areas or over other emergency operations, and police are wanting the community to be reminded of

that rule.

Police have told Dubbo Photo News that the current emergency situation is already dangerous for people, property and the environment, and that drone users flying near an emergency can be a major safety risk to response teams both in the air and on the ground.

While it may be tempting to put the drone up to take footage for news or your information, doing so could break the drone safety

rules and impact on operations and/or rescue efforts.

If you fly – emergency services can’t. You might be putting someone’s life on the line.

Anyone found to be operating a drone in a way that is hazardous to other aircraft, can face a penalty of up to two years in prison and/or a fine up to $26,640 for an individual.

Rescue Squad flat out

DUBBO’S Rescue Squad has been busy, called to one emergency situation after another in the past two weeks during the flood emergencies across the region.

Members responded to Mendooran to assist Mendooran Rescue Squad, Coonabarabran Rescue Squad and NSW Police Force search for a missing person. The person was found safe later in the

Dubbo Rescue Squad members were called to assist with an animal rescue from the ceiling of Wingewarra Street business. Despite a thorough search, the animal/s made good their escape before crews could locate them.

Dubbo Rescue Squad and other emergency services responded to a truck rollover on the Newell Highway just out of Dubbo. When rescuers arrived, the driver was free and walking around; the

truck’s passenger sustained injuries and was removed a short time later. The highway between Dubbo and Tomingley was closed while the scene was cleared.

Two separate animal rescue calls saw squad members searching the roof and wall spaces of two Dubbo businesses. At one business, some kittens were located and safely recovered. After a thorough search of the second business, no animals in need of rescue could be located.

Dubbo Rescue Squad members were on standby at Morris Park Speedway, Dubbo for all the spills and thrills of speedway action throughout the afternoon and into the evening, with several drivers grateful for the trackside assistance of the Dubbo Rescue Squad, fire services, medical team and racetrack officials.

Dubbo Rescue Squad members were called to a property just outside of Dubbo to search for a missing person. After an eight-hour search by rescue squad members and police, the person was found safe.

Across the state, VRA Rescue NSW volunteers are on-call for our communities 24/7 – rain, hail or shine. The Dubbo Rescue Squad is looking for volunteers to join their busy team.

“We’ve got a need for new trainee volunteer rescue operators. We

Interested in happenings in ORANGE?

also welcome non-operational members to assist us with a wide array of duties including fundraising, public relations activities and helping with tasks that keep our squad operating,” a spokesperson said.

“If you’re 18 years or older and have a first aid certificate (or are eligible to obtain one soon), get in touch and join us!”

To find out more and get active with Dubbo Rescue Squad, call 1300 872 777.

Pot of cash to fill potholes

THE state government has announced it’ll invest $50 million to “help regional and rural councils fix the increasing number of potholes brought on by this year’s extreme wet weather”.

Called the Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round, councils can apply for funding to help them address their highest priority pothole repairs.

Allegedly, more than 135,000 potholes have been repaired on State roads in regional NSW since February, although I wonder how many of those repairs have since failed.

According to the state coalition, this cash would help fix roughly more than 420,000 potholes – it would be interesting to know how that number was arrived at.

Catching Killers in Dubbo

By JOHN RYAN

AUSTRALIA’S best known homicide cop – Gary Jubelin – is coming to Dubbo with his hit live show ‘I Catch Killers’.

Jubelin shot to national prominence as the lead investigator in some of NSW’s highest profile murders, and since leaving the police force he’s rocketed to fame as a best-selling author, but is even better known as the host of his top-rating podcast ‘I Catch Killers’.

Now his live show is coming to town as part of a regional tour and fans will have the opportunity to hear first-hand accounts from Jubelin as he is interviewed by special guest host, actor and Silver Logie Award winner Rob Carlton.

It’s a live show: there is no safety net. It will be raw and brutally honest, just like the world Gary inhabited.

In an emotive interview format, Rob Carlton asks Gary the tough questions and creatively delivers humour and humanity to some very dark moments in Gary’s career. The pair display an incredible synergy on stage that connects with their audience.

Rob will be probing the tough cases, ruthless criminals, controversies and regrets.

With nothing off limits, the audience members are taken on a journey from the crime scene to the interview room and discover sometimes at the end of a case there is nothing left except darkness. Ensuring nothing is left on stage, the audience also gets to question Gary in a no-holds-barred Q&A session.

Mr Jubelin is looking forward to the regional tour.

“I’m thrilled we have been able to confirm additional tour dates,” he said.

“Rob and I are excited to present stories that span my 34-year career in the NSW Police Force, particularly from my time as a homicide detective.

“Rob will drive the questions, and I will provide the insight to the true crimes and the criminal minds that I have been personally involved with over the years and the impact they have had on me.”

Rob Carlton is just as excited to bring the tales of Australia’s dark underbelly to Dubbo.

“I can’t wait to get back on the road; this show is all about giving the audience the experience of being in the moment alongside Gary – seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling everything as he did as he chased the nation’s worst criminals,” he said.

According to those who’ve seen

the show, it’s not going to disappoint.

“What an incredible night! The most disappointing part was that it came to an end! We wished it had continued for another couple of hours,” one audience member said.

“I thought his podcasts were great but being there tonight was simply amazing! There were tears, laughter and a captive audience on the edge of their seats.

“One of the parents of a victim was sitting in front of me, she couldn’t contain her tears when he mentioned her family member, you could see her admiration for Gary.

“What an incredible show! Honouring the Bowraville families and others was truly touching. We have and always will stand with you Gary! Congratulations!”

Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre manager Linda Christof echoed the excitement of those who’ve been lucky enough to catch previous shows.

“We are fortunate that we are only one of five venues chosen to host this show,” Ms Christof said.

“Many people are intrigued by Gary Jubelin’s interview and recount style – he doesn’t use jargon, tells it like it is so people find him easy to understand and intrigued by his investigative style.”

The Dubbo show will be staged at the city’s Regional Convention Centre on Saturday, November 19.

Heavy vehicles get access to regional roads

THE NSW Government has announced an Agricultural Commodities Permit to support farmers affected by flooding and needing to transport stock feed.

Farmers can apply to have heavy vehicle access to all local roads in regional NSW.

Minister for Regional Transport and

Roads Sam Farraway is directing his focus to ensure heavy vehicles are granted access along key transport links.

“We all know that the recent rain has wreaked havoc on our road network, but it has also damaged pastures and fodder supplies, and is hampering farmers’ efforts

in getting feed to livestock,” Mr Farraway said.

“We recognise just how difficult it is to move livestock at this current time and this initiative will better support access for heavy vehicles carrying larger loads to safely and efficiently move feed to flood affected areas.”

IT’S A RECORD!

Sparsh Shah, a musician, inspirational speaker, and philanthropist from Iselin, New Jersey, USA, has broken the record for the longest raised leg hold (SS). On July 21, nineteen-year-old Sparsh achieved the record title when he held both of his legs in a raised position for an outstanding two hours. Sparsh has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or brittle bone disease; an incurable disease that makes his bones extremely fragile. This record is part of Guinness World Records’ impairment classifications, an initiative which introduced 23 new categories to a range of sport, strength and journey records for those with physical, intellectual and visual impairments. For this record Sparsh had to lay flat on his back with both legs raised together, at least six inches off the ground, for as long as possible.

Paramedics help Wellington Hospital in times of need

PARAMEDICS are questioning whether hospitals in rural and remote areas will be offered equal levels of support when doctors are not available.

Two extended care paramedics were appointed to assist at Wellington Hospital during the October long weekend due to the availability of medical officers, according to an ABC report.

Australian Paramedics Association vice president Scott Beaton said paramedics would be valuable at remote sites.

“Having a doctor there would be a primary objective, but if we cannot get doctors in these locations then why can’t we use these emergency measures in the times we can’t get a doctor to an emergency department,” Mr Beaton said.

The Western Local Health District has not confirmed whether the measure will be used in the future.

Telling the stories of Central West convicts who became bushrangers

By SHARON BONTHUYS

HAVE you heard about the Ribbon Boys and their exploits in central west NSW in 1830? These and other real-life stories from local history were the hot topic when Tasmanian author Jeanette M Thompson visited local libraries earlier this month to discuss her novel “Bone and Beauty”.

The culmination of eight years of research for Jeanette’s Doctorate in Creative Arts and another four years of writing, the book takes its title from a quote from famed bushranger Ned Kelly’s Jerilderie letter.

The historical event was something the children’s literature lecturer and family history tutor had stumbled upon during a trip to Bathurst which caught her interest, leading her down a research path that saw the original plan to write a children’s story shelved in pursuit of an adult novel blending fact with fiction.

“[In the Jerilderie letter, Ned Kelly] said he went on this murderous career because he was defending the Irishmen. All the young Irish, ‘bone and beauty’, who came out here in servile chains and died,” Jeanette said.

“The title is also a kind of metaphor for what creative non-fiction is. The bones are the facts and the beauty is the voices and the spirit of the people involved in those facts,” she said.

Jeanette’s story weaves historical facts about the event known as the Bathurst Rebellion with fiction, which gives a voice to the characters involved.

Led by convict Ralph Entwistle, who had been transported to Australia in 1827 and put to work as a labourer, historical accounts of the rebellion indicate it started when Entwistle and another convict were publicly lashed for skinny dipping in the Macquarie-Wambuul River as Governor Ralph Darling drove by in November 1829.

Within a year he had escaped his servitude and turned to bush-ranging, encouraging other convicts to join him. At

its peak, the gang known as the Ribbon Boys had about 80 members. Jeanette investigated the gang as part of the research for her book.

“The history was written by a magistrate who hunted [Ralph] down, about 40 years after the event. The other version was written by a surgeon’s wife who wasn’t actually in the colony so it was hearsay.

“Ralph was identified as the leader and they said he was flogged, he boiled with rage, took revenge and was

hanged. But actually that narrative is a ‘settler narrative’. It’s not a convict narrative,” Jeanette said.

“When I started to do the research there was no evidence that Ralph was the leader of anything. He was certainly involved but a flogging wouldn’t inspire a hundred men to walk off their farms and risk being hanged.”

Intrigued, Jeanette treated it like a detective story and started investigating further.

“Who was this guy, Ralph, but also who were the other guys? No one had ever investigated two things. Firstly, why was [the gang] called Ribbon Boys, and secondly, who were the other men who were hanged, and did they

have criminal records or revolutionary histories?

“We’ve heard of Gardiner and Hall and bushrangers closer to Parkes and Forbes, but these [Ribbon Boys] didn’t get as far as they wanted to. Their intention wasn’t highway robbery. Ralph and the other boys weren’t holding up men for money on the road

“What they did was put down their implements and walk off the farms, taking wagons full of seed and hoes to set up their own community far beyond the reach of the Governor,” Jeanette said.

There was an historical precedent for this action with a similar rebellion in 1825, she said.

“They took their wagons as far west as the Wellington valley.

“The reason the convicts called them the Ribbon Boys was because the Ribbonmen [secret society movement] in Ireland symbolised their leader with ribbons in his hat. The convicts knew this and that’s one whole aspect of the story that no one ever investigated. Why were they Ribbonmen and how did they operate?” she

This led Jeanette to do extensive research into Irish secret societies in the colony and she discovered that lots of those men who were hanged alongside Ralph had Irish connections and also with the Wild Colonial Boy, Jack Donahue/Doolan/Dolan (or other surnames by which he may have been known).

“This led me into a much wider story of an insurrection and an attempt to escape the colony by heading towards Coonabarabran,” she said.

Jeanette shared some of what she has learned during a tour of the central west in October which took in Parkes, Dubbo, Narromine and the home of the rebellion, Bathurst.

She wanted to use her tour of our region to open up conversations with local people who know the areas covered in the book, and she has been keen to hear their stories. Her current work is extending on “Bone and Beauty”, looking at the Wellington valley.

“Bone and Beauty” is published by the University of Queensland Press and available through local booksellers.

PCYC connecting kids to community

WELLINGTON youth are taking advantage of free after-school activities at the PCYC and Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders says the Children and Young People Wellbeing Recovery initiative is playing a major part. The organisation receiving $28,999 to establish the Connecting to Sports program, in partnership with Communities for Children.

“From junior and high school basketball competitions to cooking and arts and crafts, these programs are already proving incredibly popular with young people in Wellington,” Mr Saunders

“These programs are not only teaching important life skills, they’re building resilience, in a community that’s been hit hard by drought, COVID and now flooding.

“The PCYC team is also working to extend some of these programs to surrounding villages, so more isolated young people can still experience the benefits for their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.”

The Connecting to Sports program aims to improve educational disengagement and reduce offending behaviour in Wellington, focussing on children aged 6-17 years old, with transport offered to and from PCYC to enhance ac-

cess for those young people who may be isolated due to their location or personal circumstances.

PCYC manager Sonya Rath said the free programs remove two main barriers to participation –money and transport, pleased to see 25 young people attend the first basketball session last week.

“It gives the kids a place to come, there’s plenty of laughing, a bit of competitiveness but it’s just good to see them enjoying themselves,” she said.

“We’re also promoting good mental health just by having them physically active, and Communities for Children is helping us with a cooking program, teaching the kids some great living skills.”

Netting all the balls in the court

By JOHN RYAN

THINGS happen for a reason.

The appointment I’d made with Linda Macleod was put back 30 minutes and then went a bit overtime and as the South Campus principal was showing me out, a lady walking in the front door of the administration office ran up and hugged her.

Candy Trudgett told me she was in the first U17’s netball representative squad which had been coached by Linda, and said meeting her coach had transformed her life.

“Linda’s a really good role model, meeting her was life-changing for me, I learnt far more than just playing netball, she took time for us and went out of here way for us and showed us things that we’d never seen before, she showed us structure and we had a winning team,” Candy said.

So, when it came time for Candy to send her kids to South Campus, she knew they’d be in the best hands.

“Because I had the friendship with Linda, I also know how much work she puts into everything, her job, caring for her family, she’s a very strong woman and mentor to so many people, she’s done so much for my family, it’s intergenerational now, she always goes out of her way.”

Linda began her netball career in the Wagga U8’s and while her first match ended up in tears she soon began tearing up the courts as a player and junior coach.

Moving to Tamworth, she played in rep sides until university in Sydney saw her feature in St George’s Division 1 State League team.

“Back in that day, it was the highest level you could go before the Suncorp Super League, did that for four years and then I moved out west for teaching so I didn’t play much, played a bit in Nyngan because I taught in Tottenham, then I moved to Dubbo and that’s when I started coaching again,” Linda told Dubbo Photo News

“I had coached when I was 15, for a younger side in Tamworth, so I

and then picked it back up when I came to Dubbo. My first team was a 17’s rep team, so coached that, then went to the Academy, coached Western Combined High Schools’ netball, was so fortunate enough to get an opportunity to coach NSW U17’s back in 2002/2003, got beaten by Victoria both times but you know, runner-up for Australia was pretty amazing.”

She took a break from coaching when she had young kids but got back into it when her daughter started playing, sliding back into representative coaching, got back into the Academy and most recently I was invited to co-coach, or work with the regional emerging NSW Talent Squad.

“So, I’m sort of hoping to head back towards the elite coaching, though it’s hard from Dubbo because you’ve got to travel every weekend and it’s a long way to anywhere but I love coaching.”

Having been involved in the sport in so many places and seeing the vast number of young girls involved in the game, Linda says it’s so important to nurture them up through the coaching ranks.

“Without volunteers, sport

VIEWS

doesn’t happen and I think the grassroots level is where it all begins so getting our young players coaching is vital and one of the biggest rewards I get now, as I’m getting older, is seeing players that I coached going on to coach, and some of their parents even says ‘Oh Linda, they sound just like you’.

“I recently got asked by a parent would I coach her daughter’s team because her eldest daughter wants to coach and wants to be mentored, but it’s so vital to bring those young coaches through and foster that love of the sport.

“Yes, it’s great to see athletes

achieve and go on to great things but it’s bigger than that, it’s about friendships, it’s about getting kids out and being fit and healthy, it’s about having fun, so, definitely, without volunteers and bringing those coaches through, it doesn’t happen.

“I have a busy life and a busy job, but I wouldn’t stop the volunteering at all and often people say ‘I don’t know how you do it’ but that for me is just about the love of it and I think if I can inspire other people, it doesn’t matter how busy you are, if you really love something you’ll find time for

it and just instilling that passion in young people, that’s why I enjoy coaching.”

Linda says her coaching and love of sport has also assisted in her professional life. Now the principal at Dubbo College South Campus, she said that passion has given her an extraordinary connection with so many students.

“Absolutely, I mean, not only through netball, I often pop out to watch the kids play league tag or rugby league and I’m out in the playground every day and it is a way to talk to the kids about things they’re doing, like ‘I saw you at the footy’, or ‘how’s your netball going’ or ‘I hear you’re coaching this team’, it definitely gives you a connection,” she said, reiterating the importance of being an accessible headmaster who’s not locked in an office.

“I talk about; lots of things with lots of kids because in this day and age teaching is all about relationships and building that relationship with the young people so they get to know you – yes, they need to respect you, but there’s a way to build that respect through relationships and definitely I love going to watch the kids play and it does give me something to talk to them about and they see me as a person, not just a principal.

“Coaching has given me so much, I have friends around the state through coaching. I know people throughout the whole of the western region, it’s taught me a lot, it’s helped me grow as a person, I still reflect on my coaching even though I’m really experienced, I just feel very grateful to have had the opportunities that I’ve had, I’ve been mentored by amazing coaches, I’ve coached some great players, some of whom went on to play for Australia and it’s given me a lot back, I feel very grateful for the opportunities.

“You never expect the accolades, that’s not why I coach, but being awarded life membership of Dubbo Netball a few years ago and now life membership of Western Region Academy of Sport, it just means so much.”

Linda Macleod’s office is full of priceless netball memories.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

By AARON HILL

“DRAGON Ball Super: Super Hero” is the latest Dragon Ball film.

The film sees the return of the Red Ribbon army who have previously been destroyed by Goku.

Piccolo discovers their hidden base and warns Gohan about a battle between them and the Red Ribbon Army.

This is a rare screening I never thought I would go into, because they have not played an anime film in the cinema before. It was a pretty cool experience. It was worth the watch, and I really hope they start introducing other anime film titles.

This film is excellent!

The animation is very different from other Dragon Ball films. For the first time, they used 3D elements for the animation. I find this terrific, and I’m all in for 3D anime films, like Batman Ninja.

in fo

All the characters are amazing as usual - Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, and everyone else is great. I’m glad Gohan and Piccolo are getting some screen time in the film.

In conclusion, I highly recommend watching this if you’re an anime or Dragon Ball Z fan. I really hope Reading Cinemas screen other anime films in the future, and I’m giving this one a 10/10.

SHARON Thomas never knows what to expect when she walks her dog every morning, except to expect the unexpected.

Aries is a Staffy Cross and is an expert at sparking up conversations between humans.

Like the morning Sharon’s mate Karen Martin had taken her part Pug/ Bulldog/Jack Russell, Bosley the Boss, for a walk along the riverbank.

“I was driving past and I pulled up, my dog wanted to go and catch up with all his mates so we stopped and had a chat to Sharon,” she told Dubbo Photo News, explaining that it’s important to get out and about and it’s great to run into people for a yarn, whether you know them or not.

about the dog and I think it’s crucial for peoples’ welfare to get outside, get some fresh air and socialise, and let your dog socialise as well,” Karen said.

“I mostly walk the dog down the river – the trees are important for shade when you walk. I also drove out to the zoo and we walked from there and were coming back in to town we ran into Shaz.

“Walking amongst trees is good for the psyche, for stress management and just to clear your head. You listen to the birds, it’s like a form of meditation, you clear your head with a morning walk and then you’re right for the rest of the day, I reckon.”

Sharon Thomas said it’s a great way to run into friends, new and old, and she loves the river corridor running through the middle of Dubbo.

WE all know there are beneficial effects to having children grow up with pets, so Carlton House decided to introduce lizards and frogs to their student cohort.

Room two leader Sarah Stapleton said the lizards provide a great learning opportunity for the children as they become aware of what to do when they see them in the environment.

“They are learning how to maintain and nurture animals while being taught about the environment,” Ms Stapleton told Dubbo Photo News

“They’re different from the usual pet, but they’re quite fun and the children love them.”

Carlton House is also a

“It’s a great way of self-care, and if they’re feeling a bit sad, they can always come in and enjoy the animals.

“It gives the children a little bit extra to look forward to and adds a purpose and goal to their day.”

Ms Stapleton said each room in the house has a day to look after the lizards.

“The pre-schoolers have a bit more opportunity to play with the lizards because they are more confident touching and looking after them,” she said.

Kintyre shares a cuppa for a cause

Getting together with friends for a cuppa is a regular social event at Kintyre Living, but on Thursday, October 20, residents, family, friends, staff and management, charged their mugs with tea and coffee for a very good cause.

Marking a special Dementia Australia initiative, ‘Cuppa Time’ connects people from all walks of life to support people living with dementia.

Sharing her amazing baking skills, Kintyre Living resident Di Cullen cooked and provided delicious food to complement fare from Kintyre’s gourmet kitchen.

Mobile coffee provider, Kalma Café was also on hand to serve delicious coffee with contributions of their fresh farm eggs for the raffle.

The raffle which had a number of small prizes was largely won by residents of the lodge, village, staff and friends, while Julie Walsh took out the Malteser guessing comp. Prizes were donated by Kintyre Management.

The ‘Cuppa Time’ initiative brings friends, family and teammates together around Australia to show the estimated 487,500 people living with dementia in Australia that they’re not alone.

While the community at large pauses over a hot drink, the ‘Cuppa Time’ conversation helps spread awareness about dementia, and to fundraise in support of Dementia Australia services and community needs, and support research partnerships.

Kintyre Living and Kintyre Lodge are proactive supporters of Cuppa Time and similar initiatives in support of dementia research, services and our much-loved residents who depend on them.

Metaphors for creative minds

By JOHN RYAN Photos Contributed

WHILE the educational focus has been on students sitting HSC exams, there’s plenty of other academic endeavours bubbling along in the background.

Dubbo College South Campus Year 10 Photography and Digital Media class has been working on the ‘Metaphor’ unit of work, taking up the challenge of representing themselves through the use of metaphors that relate to the broader world and their individual identities.

To do this the students needed to make artistic choices through make-up, lighting and gesture to symbolise their lives, cultures and emotions.

The project was begun by creating mood boards, sketching makeup designs then playing with studio lighting to create a cohesive mood across the class.

The students’ favourite part of this task was painting each other’s faces and setting up the studio to create the portraits.

It was great timing as it coincided with Dubbo Photo News’ Pet’s Month, and we’re grateful that Petrie’s has kindly donated three tins of jellybeans as prizes for some of the readers who’ve entered this year’s pet competition.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Those of us who have a little difficulty successfully sealing wraps, gyros or burritos are at last in luck, thanks to a group of female engineering students who came up with a solution called Tastee Tape. It will hold your food nicely in place during cooking or consumption. And yes, it is an edible tape.

Only humans have chins.

Ladybugs are cute, but they’re al so cannibals. These tiny spotted creatures will, if need be, eat fertilised ladybug eggs, ladybug larvae and even other adult ladybugs.

Do you know someone who really loves to tell jokes? Here’s hoping they aren’t suffering from a rare syndrome known as Witzelsucht, or joke addiction, aff ecting certain folks with an injury to their brain’s right hemisphere. One such patient couldn’t stop waking his poor wife

in the middle of the night to share his jokes with her.

The longest eyelash on record reached a length of 7cm and belonged to one Stuart Muller, who attributed the record-setting strand to a “mutant follicle”.

When the German football club FC Union Berlin faced bankruptcy in 2004, its loyal fans donated enough blood en masse (in a country where blood donors can be paid) that sufficient funds were raised to save it.

King Charles III will receive his crown while sitting on a throne containing the Stone of Destiny, a rock that was stolen from Scotland in 1296 and carried to Westminster Abbey by King Edward I, then returned to Scotland 700 years later. But why is it significant, other than its feature in a royal coronation? It is said to be the stone on which the biblical Jacob rested his head when

he dreamed of a ladder ascending to heaven!

NOW HERE’S A TIP

Using your fireplace? Try adding citrus peels to the logs for a nice aroma. They can be a good starter material as well.

Those hide-a-key rocks can be a little obvious – at least they are to me. I have a spare key hidden outside too, but I sealed mine in a plastic baggie and buried it in a spot known to our family members. Also, it’s not right by the door. – I.E.

When closing up our summer home for the season, we brought a box of mothballs and scattered them around the verandah perimeter. This keeps the small animals like mice from setting up shop there while no one is around. – S.F.

Now’s a great time to start

weatherstripping! Check and recaulk windows. Caulk along baseboards to deter drafts. Add insulation to electrical outlets and under sinks around plumbing. Seal it up to help your home’s air-conditioning be more efficient, hopefully keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Remember to turn off bathroom fans after 10 minutes. In the colder months, if your house is on the dry side, don’t use the fan at all: Open the door so the humidity from the shower or bath reaches into the house.

“To remove the skin from s almon, I freeze it and skin it while frozen. The skin comes off much easier, and I waste less of the fish. I buy a large piece and parcel it into several smaller pieces, since it’s just me. I like salmon, and it’s healthy for me!” – L.A.

Sundee morning Bowls ‘The best of the best’

Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’

THE Sundy Combo bowlers were greeted by yet another dampish -think wet – venue. The green dried, the surface was slick, the 34 bowlers were keen to test their abilities.

Ray Strawhan, Pete Bennison and Phil Knight opened with a big five and added three shots on the next end. They had their mind set on victory but Ron Millgate, John McKenzie and Paul Goodstat were not to be taken too lightly and scored on each of the next four ends to take the lead by two. A three on the eighth built confidence and a four-stroke lead. Phil’s mob hit back for a few ends then had a scoring drought while their opponents added eight

to blow it out to double digits.

Another five by Ron, John and Paul ensured a win by 11 shots.

On Rink 2 Helene Emblen, Allan Stratford and Ricky See notched up shots on just three ends in the first half to see Leo Balstad, Rob Pfeiffer and John Cole take control. They pretty much demolished their opponents through the second half scoring on all but one second period adding 14-1 for a most comprehensive win.

Al Andriske, Frank Armstrong and Col Cottee were drawn against Chris Strojny, Vit Mascare and Tod O’Dea.

The former scored five on end four; the second was on six when Chris’s team delivered but despite adding seven on 10/11 they were swamped

when Al, Frank and Col rolled a seven on 15 to win by 13 shots.

A slow start from Gordon Lummis, Mel Giddings and Mike Twohill allowed Shirley Marchant, Pete Ruzans and Matt Quill to sneak ahead. Mike wiped crocodile tears as he watched his opponents take shots from them. By end 12, Shirl and Co had a handy 11 shot lead, but a five on 13 gave Mike something to smile about.

The last few ends were tense –Shirley shouting after a narrow victory.

Sue Armstrong, Mick Strawhan and Trish Gosper showed they were not mug bowlers racking up a couple of quads, a couple of triples and a single to lead by seven at the turnaround. Chris Cas-

tlehouse, Neil Hayburn and Warren Towney were eight at the same time. The second half played out similarly with Sue, John and Trish powering home with 15 to finish up 2314 victors.

Doc Livingston and Gordon Scott scored on six of the first eight ends against Ross Pharo and Karen Greenhalghe who were saved with a five on the fourth. Scores were tied after 12; Doc and Gordon took the lead; Ross and Karen tried to find that bit of ‘magic’ to swing the game. It came on the last end when the pair banked five shots for a memorable win.

Winners – Leo Balstad, Rob Pfeiffer, John Cole.

Resters: Ross Pharo, Rob Pfeiffer, Mick Strawhan.

Western boys hop on board with Kangaroos

By GEOFF MANN

ISAAH Yeo, Matt Burton (Dubbo) and Liam Martin (West Wyalong) scored a try apiece on debut; Jack Wighton (Orange) crossed twice while Wellington-connected Josh Addo-Carr brought the crowd to their feet for each of his quadruple.

The western connection has been raising eyebrows during the first few weeks of the 2022 Rugby League World Cup.

All will be anxious as the countdown to finals continues. They’ve each given coach Mal Meninga a huge selection poser! Meanwhile former Dubbo junior Luke Tilburg (Italy) and dual-code player Zarrin Galea (Malta) are also living their dreams. Both young men have been selected based

Ducks swim for Clive Roots

By GEOFF MANN

THE Dubbo Ducks have been raising funds for Legacy through an initiative begun by Clive Roots over 50 years ago.

The 4 x 25 freestyle relay was thanks to an initiative by keen swimmers Gerry Collins and Clive Roots in 1969 making it one of Dubbo’s longest continuously running sporting events.

This year’s Relay was strictly ‘in house’, unlike other years when the community was in-vited to enter teams to raise funds for a charity that assists families of those who have served Australia.

Five teams dived in – The Stingrays touched first. Jack Allen, Marg Ross, Robert Dicker-son and Ron Everett swam 0.67 off their combined time to claim the prestigious trophy.

Marg kept her winning

form in the final of the 25m Freestyle but according to Publicity Of-ficer Judy Walsh she went -.65 below her time “which handed the win to Bill Greenwood” (+.33).

“Bill then backed up to take the win in the closest to time 25m Breaststroke ahead of Jack Allen”, Judy added.

Young Mia Uebergang went under her time in the closest to time 25m Backstroke and long-serving Roger Mackay was happy to collect the points with Mia’s grandmother Judy picking up the points for second.

Another of the ‘almost Originals’, Garry Giddings joined in the fun. He was ribbed by fel-low Ducks for being on “weekend leave” from his new home in Bathurst!

It was lovely to have Garry Giddings join in the Ducks fun this morning.

Season opener after floods

By GEOFF MANN

MORRIS Park Speedway lit up just over a week after floods had hit the area and what a show it was.

Entering the track after a long offseason, what a huge difference the water made to the sur-rounding areas. The spectator area, infield and the pit area are lush green.

The team spent more than 30 hours keeping the grass down in the week leading into the 22/23 season opener as well as moving fences and clean-

ing spectator facilities. The grounds were pristine.

There were four divisions on the night – Wingless Sprints, AMCA Nationals, Production Sedans & Junior Sedans.

The track held up great even after the amount of water from the floods.

The action was lively and racers clocked fast times all night.

All mains were smooth and fast, however the AMCA Nationals saw a lot of cars involved in incidents meaning plenty had to head infield to watch.

The club would like to thank all the spectators, drivers, crews, volunteers and officials who put on a great night’s racing, with thanks you’s to all the sponsors including Luna Park, Orana Fire Protection, Western Tilt Tray Service, JR Richards & Sons, Monster Sign & Wrap, Complete Exhaust, Burson Auto Parts, PCYC and Dippin Dots.

The next event is on November 5 and will feature the 4 Cylinder Central West Cup, SSA Production Sedans as well as RSA Junior Sedans.
