FIGHTING FOR THE FALLEN SOLDIERS

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

WHEN Joe Flick’s grandfather Michael returned home from fighting on the frontlines in WWI, he questioned why he fought for Australia.

While Joe Flick was learning about his grandfather and his family history, he discovered many untold truths about Aboriginal soldiers who fought in the war.

When his grandfather returned to Australia, his darker complexion remained disrespected to the Australian eye.

His children were not permitted to attend school and were segregated in various venues.

“All of this happened at home, (and yet) they were treated equally in France,” said Joe Flick.

Additional scholarships for school and early childcare educators

DUBBO aspiring early childhood educators have the opportunity to receive a financial boost through a new scholarship program.

Festive season can trigger trauma

Discussing community issues over breakfast

MEMBERS of the Dubbo community are invited to attend a free breakfast on Saturday, November 26, at the rotunda in Church Street from 7.30am to 9.30am.

The event is intended to share ideas related to the Dubbo Regional Council Local Government Area (LGA).

Councillors from Dubbo Regional Council, member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders, and federal member for Parkes Mark Coulton will be attending the breakfast.

Mayor Mathew Dickerson encouraged the community to get together to talk about local, state and national issues over an informal breakfast.

“It is always a valuable and enjoyable morning connecting with local residents and hearing the views of our community,” Cr Dickerson said.

Faster meds at the pharmacy

DUBBO residents have the opportunity to access some prescribed medications and numerous vaccinations through their local pharmacy, rather than seeing a GP.

From Monday, November 14, pharmacies have been able to expand their community health services while relieving pressure to see a GP, and other emergency services.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the reform will trial pharmacists prescribing medication for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and develop a trial to prescribe medications for other conditions.

“The community will be able to visit an appropriately trained pharmacist to get a script for things like a UTI or birth control, easing the burden on our local GPs and reducing wait times for others that require more specialised care,” Mr Saunders said.

The event will commence at 7pm on 15 December, concluding

Pharmacists are now able to administer a range of public health and travel vaccines including Japanese Encephalitis, Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, Poliomyelitis, Typhoid and Zoster.

Boom season for blooming flowers

 There’s been plenty of moisture these past few years, and while it’s been hell on farmers and graziers, has it helped the garden bloom?

TRIVIA TEST

1 Which yachtsman wrote the book “Born to Win”?

2 In the A series paper sizes, what is 420mm x 297mm?

3 Who wrote the novel “I Can Jump Puddles”?

4 In which sport did Mark Richards excel?

In her ‘spare’ spare time, she’s a keen gardener and she told Dubbo Photo News how she derives so much satisfaction from creating such beauty.

 Tell us about your passion for flowers, when did that begin?

My Nan and Pop had a nursery in Coonamble – and it’s impossible not to love flowers! Flowers are a gift when courting, during grief, a thinking of you, happy birthday, times of celebration and the list goes on. Different coloured flowers symbolise different meanings and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Just about everyone can appreciate the beauty of blooms.

 What are your favourites?

That’s a tough question because when I lived in Orange I was able to grow peonies and camellias, however roses have always featured in my gardens. Roses are very giving and prolific, flowering for eight to nine months of the year. They comes in so many shapes, sizes, colours, fragrances – how can you not love roses!

The irises do offer a spectacular show each spring and it’s a pleasure to visit each morning and find new flowers. These guys thrive on neglect and receive no water and little love or attention each year, except in the springtime.

Irises are perfect for our climate.  It’s a lot of work, what do you personally get out of that time you put into it?

The garden is my time to think so I don’t consider this to be work, more my time, and many great ideas have been plotted and planned. I love when the kids come and sit and chat while I potter in the garden, or when Airbnb guests check in and send a little wow note with appreciation of the peacefulness and tranquil setting. A delivery of (husband) Geoffrey’s packed lunches or a glass of wine to a garden bed are also a welcome surprise.

I also enjoy the simple pleasure of sitting outside in the evening and smelling theroses in the summer air, or walking past and see-

ing a new flower blooming and thinking, ‘Wow, that’s pretty.’

I can’t bear to throw a flower away, so last year Geoff and I cut all the lower flowers from the roses and delivered them to Orana Gardens for the nursing home residents to enjoy. It was great hit to be able to share the blooms and bring smiles to the residents.

 You operate a few B&Bs, do you think it’s a point of difference having such magnificent gardens for clients to relax in?

It definitely adds to the experience and hopefully creates lasting memories for the guests and their visits to Dubbo. It’s lovely to be able to share with guests, and the little touches like an old-fashioned vase of roses upon arrival are always appreciated.

After the drought I declared never to wish rain away, and as one old cocky recently reminded me, you can make money out of mud but there’s no money in dust. The garden is thriving, including weeds which are just another plant growing in the wrong spot.

I speak with my dad who has been isolated for a number of weeks further west, unable to get to town or out into the paddocks each day, but he has roses, and... we agree that these times give us all a chance to stop and smell those roses.

In addition, during the drought I didn’t stop enjoying flowers, and although I was unable to grow many, I turned my hand to making flowers from feathers.  Anything you’d like to add?

I love the journey of learning more about gardening from the irises and the roses, the orchard and the vegetables, the bees and the trees.

Also, I love sharing blooms with Orana Gardens, the Dubbo Show Society and Dubbo Turf Club during the spring carnival, or even iris rhizomes so others can enjoy the flowers now and in seasons to come.

Quinn’s quest to see more blood donors

By JOHN RYAN

DUBBO has taken tiny Quinn Wiatkowski into its collective community heart and now Quinn’s Quest is giving Dubbo residents the chance to learn more about the vital role played by Lifeblood when it comes to life-saving donations.

Dubbo Photo News readers have been following Quinn’s story this year while she has been undergoing treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in Sydney.

On Saturday, November 26, the Dubbo donor centre will hold an Open Day for people to learn more about blood donation, according to Lifeblood’s Brian Bruce.

“We are doing this to help support Quinn Wiatowski from Quinn’s Quest

Lifeblood team, we will have a sausage sizzle and information stand for people to learn more about blood donation,” Mr Bruce told Dubbo Photo News

“The centre will be open for people to donate in support of Quinn’s Quest Lifeblood team from 7-11.30am. Quinn won’t be there as she is still receiving treatment in Sydney, however her friends and family have all booked into donate on the day.”

Giving blood is one of the greatest gifts individuals can give to the broader community and each donation can save many lives.

If you haven’t yet given blood, pop down to learn more.

If you haven’t given blood for some time, get a group of friends together and make the pledge to donate.

Cheering for improvement in hearing

DUBBO residents will be pleased to know Hearing Australia has launched an action plan for improving ear health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

The plan’s aim is to halve the rate of hearing loss in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children by 2029.

One in three Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders experience chronic otitis media which is an inflammation and infection of the middle ear.

Hearing Australia’s managing director Kim Terell said the action plan has been co-designed with First Nations health care staff.

“This will be achieved by supporting national leadership, accelerating access to care, and building workforce capabilities in primary health care services across Australia. We stand together with our partners in a steadfast commitment to dramatically improve the hearing health of First Nations children.”

Previous work by the company showcases an improvement in children receiving hearing aids before the age of three.

In the past year, one in five First Nations children received a hearing aid, if necessary, before the age of three – a significant improvement from one in 20 in 2008.

Knit one, pearl 2000

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

THAT’S how many knitted squares 90-year-old Dubbo resident Mary “Francie” Hobson has made for a donation to help people in need.

Mary, better known by her nickname “Francie”, was set on the number 2000 when she got started on the project.

“I don’t know why.

I was in a unit on my own then and my sister Wilma knew a lady who needed squares knitted. She gave us a pattern which has just two stitches in it,” Francie told Dubbo Photo News

“When I was still living in my unit, I’d do a stack up and I’d take around 100 at a time to her.”

Now a resident of St Mary’s Villa, Francie’s bed is strewn with knitted items including a large bag of completed, impeccably-knitted

squares, each about a foot square in size.

“A group of women at St Brigid’s Church stitch and edge them together to make blankets for the needy. Eighty squares make a blanket. They have a working bee every Wednesday morning.

“They usually send them to Sydney but when it was colder here not so long ago, they told me some got sent down to St Vinnies in Dubbo.”

Pretty soon the big bag of squares on Francie’s bed will be sent off for the same purpose, but first she has to finish the knitting seen here in her lap in the photo – because that’s number 2000.

“You ask for anything, I do it,” Francie said.

This inspirational lady learned to knit while growing up in Warren, but in a very unconventional way.

“No-one believes me when I tell them. Mum

and my younger sister and I were sitting up knitting one day, making cat’s clothes or something, and Dad said, ‘I’m going over to the shed to get some nails.’ Mum said,

these four-inch, narrow nails and he said, ‘Here you are, the girls won’t poke them in their eyes,’ so we learnt to knit on fourinch nails. Mum had been frightened her

“My sister Wilma passed away a few months ago, and she’d asked me what would I do once I’ve knitted the 2000th square.

“Keep making them, I told her.”

Dubbo resident Francie Hobson has knitted a whopping 2000 squares which get stitched together, 80 at a time, by a St Brigid’s sewing bee, for people in need.

REMEMBRANCE Day 2022 saw two young local students present their Australia My Country Award

Presentation compositions.

The Award, run by the Dubbo RSL Sub-branch, attracted over 100 compositions this year.

Eadie Hughes from Buninyong Public School read her composition “My Dear Father” and Lachlan Guy from Dubbo Public School read his composition “We Will Remember”.

Their words follow.

My Dear Father

By EADIE HUGHES

A man as strong as 100 men

Oh, how touching your letters, with a pen Though you were a quiet soul Most talked to you on a stroll

Oh, how admirable you were Now I have no one to stir Why did you have to leave so soon?

Now I remain a star with no moon You were to teach me everything you know But then they found you in the snow

I constantly see mother cry No days have her eyes ever been dry

I couldn’t help but shed a tear Thinking about all your fear Lying there taking your last breath

Slowly drifting into your death It was finally the day our family had dreaded

To the cemetery your body headed With the famous bugles leading

We Will Remember

By LACHLAN GUY

We will remember that day you sacrificed yourself for us

We will remember you and people like you

fires, your service will stay with us forever

You, the people who fought for us, you will go down in history for generations to come Your service to this country came from the heart Because when you were needed

went out of your way for us. You all knew the sacrifices that you were making Only you and your families felt what is was like to lose something so treasured. You are our heroes. Thank you.

Sun-powered students

SOLAR panels will soon grace some roof space at Dubbo College Senior Campus thanks to funding under the Minor Capital Works program to install solar panels on the roof of Block G.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the state government would pay half the costs, with the school funding the other half from its own budget.

“Schools use a lot of power during the day when the sun is shining, so it’s a no-brainer to invest in technology that can lower the bills,” Mr Saunders said.

Financial wellbeing is crucial

By JOHN RYAN

JUSTIN Smith is a Rural Financial Counsellor for the Dubbo area and although he’s only been in that role for a few months, he believes his lived experience will stand him in good stead when it comes to assisting people who are facing financial challenges.

Dubbo Photo News caught up with Justin at the Dubbo Cares Day where he explained the importance of events like that, which highlight how mental stresses are tied up with far more than just money when it comes to emotional wellbeing.

“Financial counselling isn’t just about finances, there’s plenty of emotion and mental stress involved when people under duress are struggling to stay on top of things,” Mr Smith said.

“Events like Dubbo Cares Day are extremely important to highlight how we need to seek advice and help, and prevention is better than cure – you don’t want people to collapse and go downhill because it’s too late, it’s better off that they get on the front foot and talk about it upfront, open themselves up.

“We’ve all had mental health battles, I have, and I’ve been in business for myself, I’ve seen things from a few sides so I know it’s extremely important for days like today, especially after Covid and being locked down, we need to come to these sorts of events and interact with each other, pat each other on the back and let

people know that it’s okay, let’s talk about things upfront before they become huge problems.”

Justin Smith has years of working as an accountant under his belt and understands many people are too embarrassed to talk if they think they’re sliding into financial strife, often making

things much harder on themselves when a professional comes in to help pick up the pieces, including extreme mental stress and heartache.

“During my accountancy time, I’d see people with what I’d call the Ostrich Syndrome,” he said.

“They’d bury their heads in

the sand and the problem would get worse as a result and often you’d get to it too late and then we’d be dealing with a lot of issues and that mental strain could lead to a dereliction of financial responsibilities.

“If you can get onto it beforehand, it helps, and there are so many people who are available to help and so many people these days understand mental health a lot better than they did 10, 15 or 20 years ago.”

He said just the fact our city now has its own dedicated Dubbo Cares Day is vital because it really gets across to locals that we have to stop and take that minute to think about other people, and wonder what they’re going through.

“I think this is extremely important. Bruno and Jo are very, very approachable people, I’ve known both of them for nearly 20 years and you won’t find a better couple to come and talk to.

“They’re very, very open-minded, they’re not judgemental people and they’re caring, they have a genuine and caring nature about them, they’re very family and community oriented and what they’re doing to lead our community in this is unreal, I cannot speak highly enough of them.

“Just talk to somebody, if your friends are struggling have a yarn to them and if you’ve got your own story about mental health, you know, tell it, because people will want to know, it’s a part of life, it’s normal.”

Blokes’ mental health first aid training

By JOHN RYAN

KEVIN Sinclair has seen Dubbo Men’s Shed grow in capacity over the years and he said there’s now a massive difference when it comes to older blokes understanding of mental health.

As well as using the Shed for the good of their own mental health, members are now completing Mental Health First Aid training so they can help others when needed.

“We had a two-day session at the Shed recently for 14 blokes to get their mental health firstaid certificates and it was very, very well received,” Mr Sinclair

told Dubbo Photo News

The Men’s Shed movement was originally formed as a support group for blokes, especially older men who’d retired after a lifetime of work and suddenly felt at a loss, especially if their work had been closely tied to their own sense of identity, and created a vacuum when they stopped.

Mr Sinclair said it’s incredibly important for the Dubbo Men’s Shed to get involved in events like the recent Dubbo Cares Day organised by Tradies In Sight founder Bruno Efoti.

“We’ve learnt that we need to keep our minds busy, not just

one or two days a week, but seven days a week, I think that’s what a lot of fellas find very difficult to do and it’s turnouts like this that are so important to let people know that mental health is an issue that’s cared about in the community,” he said.

Shed members have seen the vital role Bruno plays within the community and they believe it’s important to collaborate with Not-For-Profits such as Tradies In Sight, as all organisations have diverse skill-sets and resources.

“It’s a good combination, organisations can work hand-inhand and help one another and it’s great to see,” Mr Sinclair said.

Blue-tongue feeds pet dog

By JOHN RYAN

CATHY Palmer was keen to pick up her Pet Month prizes from Dubbo Photo News, the Real Pet Food bags of goodies going to a good home with a hungry small dog.

The prize was won thanks to a photo sent in by her 13-year-old son Joshua and featuring his pet blue-tongue lizard.

“We’ve got a little dog so she’ll love all this food,” Cathy laughed.

“So many people enter this competition because they want to show off how beautiful their pets are –and just see their photos in the Photo News.”

IT’S A RECORD! 

Since the 1980s, almost 1 million recorded bungee jumps have occurred. In the span of a single hour, 50-yearold Linda Potgieter (South Africa) added 23 more to that figure, breaking the record for the most bungee jumps in one hour outdoors (20+ metre cord). That’s an average of one jump every two and a half minutes! Linda’s bungee bonanza took place on South Africa’s highest bridge, Bloukrans Bridge, 216 metres above Bloukrans River.

Rural Financial Counsellor Justin Smith says financial wellbeing is crucial when it comes to personal happiness and he’s calling on local residents to speak to an expert to seek advice if they’re struggling.

The Real Estate Chat

with Karen Chant from Chant

and Co

Looking for a pre-Christmas sale?

Here are some important dos (and don’ts) to keep in mind as you put your property on the market.

DO be reserved with your decorations

Resist the urge to decorate with no expense spared – and instead add some tasteful seasonal touches which make your property feel homely and welcoming such as wreaths, candles and small trees. Avoid excessive tinsel, full-scale reindeer and dancing Santa decora tions.

DO plan ahead

As yourself what needs to be done and by when. Speak with your solicitor about their Christmas shutdown period. Work closely with your agent to learn more about what you can do to speed things up and increase your chance of a sale. Ask them what plan B is if your property does not sell before Christmas.

DON’T put up a property before it’s ready

If your property isn’t presented well or needs work and you can wait, then sit it out until after Christmas. Pushing a sale through when your property isn’t quite ready may mean a sale that is not as strong as what you may achieve when selling within a standard timeframe. Speak with your agent about launching and use the time over Christmas to get your home sale ready in 2023.

For other tips or any real estate questions, call Karen on 0448 191167 or email at karen@chantandco.com.au.

THE road leading to the low-level Duke of Wellington Bridge in the town’s north has crumbled into the fast-flowing Bell River as it links up to the swollen Macquarie River at a vicious 90-de-

gree right angle.

For years the erosive floodflows of the Bell in full-flight were mitigated by the fact the Bell entered the Macquarie in a gently sweeping bend, which

lessened the impact and erosive force as the two waterways merged – now it’s more like a head-on collision.

Jack’s AAC is a real game changer

For 19 year old school leaver Jack Cosier, bugging his parents, Beryl and Andrew, to take him places and to hang out with his friends is a rite of passage at his age. But unlike a lot of his peers, Jack lives with cerebral palsy and uses a specialised commu nication device that allows him to communicate with those around him.

‘Jack’s communication device has been a game changer for him’, says Beryl. ‘It is so rewarding to see the gains he’s made and we are so grateful for Jack to have a voice’.

Last month was AAC Awareness Month across the world. AAC refers to Alternative and Augmentative Com munication and it encompasses all of the ways that someone communicates besides talking. The focus of the month is to raise awareness of AAC and to inform the public about the many different ways in which people com municate.

For the Cosiers, raising awareness of AAC is of the utmost importance to them. ‘People in the community are al ways amazed by Jack’s communication device and haven’t seen anything like it before. They always say how wonderful it is that he has something that enables him to speak,’ says Beryl.

Hannah Russ, Speech Pathologist at Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) in Dubbo, supports Jack and many other

clients to use specialised communication devices so they can communicate their wants and needs with those around them. ‘At CPA, we have a high level of expertise in helping people with disabilities to communicate in a range of different ways. This might include using their eyes with special ised software, using touch, joysticks or switches and buttons.’

Speech pathologists would typically lead the way in supporting people to find the right communication device to suit their needs. ‘Helping clients find the best communication device for their needs and life can be quite com plex. As a global centre of expertise for cerebral palsy, CPA has strong clinical knowledge, research and a wealth of

resources to ensure we do this well for clients’, says Hannah.

‘Being able to support Jack to initiate conversations with his friends and em power him to have control and choice in his life is one of the most rewarding parts of my job’.

CPA and the Cosiers want everyone in the community to know about the power of AAC and how it can trans form lives for people living with a disability. ‘We want Jack to express his needs, wants and dreams just like everyone else – and to be able to do that in a tangible and meaningful way. His device is giving him the opportunity to be able to do that with lots of different people’, says Beryl. ‘And it allows him to organise his social calendar too!’

Being able to support Jack to initiate conversations with his friends and empower him to have control and choice in his life is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

– Hannah Russ

Beryl finds it difficult to know how they would’ve helped Jack without the support of Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

‘CPA is a dedicated organisation pro viding specialised services for exactly what Jack needed. We were able to tap into knowledge and expertise and connect with other families. We are so blessed to have this service here in Dubbo.’

CPA would like to expand their team and is currently recruiting for speech pathologists and occupational thera pists.

One minute in remembrance and support

By JOHN RYAN

A TRAGEDY on the other side of the nation brought communities from across the state together in Dubbo on Sunday morning, November 6.

On October 13, 15-year-old Indigenous teenager Cassius Turvey was attacked and killed while walking home from school in Perth. The Noongar Yamatji boy was with his friends when a group of people in a ute allegedly confronted him and struck him with a metal pole.

The teenager was taken to hos-

pital but died shortly afterwards.

A 21-year-old has been charged with Cassius’ murder.

Dawn Towney was coaching some of the teams at the National Indigenous Touch Football KnockOut in Dubbo on the first weekend this month, and said when a couple of her players said they’d been making armbands for their nans and pops in honour of Cassius, everyone wanted to show their support.

“It’s amazing, it’s amazing, so we asked the guys from Touch NSW and Redi E if we could get all our team members to wear armbands and they all said let’s

go one better and get everyone in this comp to do it so we spoke to the boys and made it happen,” she told Dubbo Photo News

“It’s great we can show our collective respect and support, that poor young fella has lost his life, it’s a little thing from each person but it’s a very significant thing as a whole, a great way for people to show their support and try in some small measure to try and take some of Cassius’ family’s shared pain.”

Redi E CEO Pete Gibbs, who’s no stranger to grief, said the minute’s silence was something special.

“It’s a significant thing, there

are no words, you can’t express what’s going through that family’s minds, so here we are in NSW, with our hearts, our love and our thoughts for that family,” he said.

Tournament co-organiser David Peachey said it was heartfelt for the group to be able to show their respect.

“I think when you have an event as special as this, which is bringing communities together from a large part of NSW, you know, if we’re able to throw out one positive message,” Mr Peachey said.

“Unfortunately we’ve lost a life because of straight-up racism, so

we collectively coming here as the Indigenous Touch Tournament, saying we’re actually trying to help that reconciliation – this is a 50/50 split in terms of participation, so hopefully we can take this touch tournament forward in regards to what we can do from a community perspective.

“This is about us sending a shout-out to young Cassius Turvey over there in Western Australia to show our strength and support for the family and you know, it’s not just one individual, but collectively, right across the state, we’re sending that message.”

Knocked out by smiles and sunny weather

By JOHN RYAN

TWENTY-TWO teams converged on Dubbo for the first National Indigenous Touch Football KnockOut in recent years after Covid cancellations and the smiles on the faces said it all.

Redi E was major sponsor for the event and CEO Peter Gibbs said it was a magic weekend.

“Look at this – this is what happens when you do something for your community, it’s about participation and sport is the best vehicle, sport is absolutely the best vehicle to bring people together,” Mr Gibbs told

Dubbo Photo News

“From little fellas to our fellas who should be giving the game away, they’re all here smiling and that’s what we love about being

involved in our community, that’s basically what it is, it motivates us to do whatever we can for our community and if you’re doing something for the kids, you’ve got me involved.”

Former NRL legend David Peachey works at Redi E and along with his brother, was tournament co-organiser.

“Part of what Redi E’s done is taken on the National Indigenous Touch Tournament, we’ve been in hiatus the last year or two because of Covid, so it’s nice to be able to kick this back off, with not much notice we just said let’s put it on and I think the numbers speak for themselves and we can say this will only grow on the back of this year,” he said.

“We want to find a weekend

that will be our own, as well, and that’s going to come back after consultations with all the teams, what’s going to be the best weekend for us to be able to do it in the next five to 10 years – this is about creating pathways for our kids as well, it’s about participation but also about giving them opportunities.

“When you think that in such a short period of time to organise that we were able to get sides from Canberra, Tamworth and Sydney, with all the flooding at the moment and so many towns cut off, it just goes to show that the people want this event.”

He believes the event will go from strength to strength.

“You can see what it looks like, with the tents up, everyone’s in

their Deadly gear, we’ll have a little bit more time to prepare next year and we’ll be able to add some substance around the program.

“This year we had U12s, U16s and Opens, hopefully next year we can throw something in there in terms of direction for our younger kids as well, creating pathways in terms of participation in sport.”

Touch Football Australia National Inclusion Manager Luke Heckendorf said working with a local organisation such as Redi E, which was deeply embedded in the community, was a natural fit.

“We partnered up with Redi E so Peter Gibbs and the Peachey brothers are helping us out with the organisation, it’s basically been pulled out of the ground in about eight weeks, we pulled 22

teams in, mixed Opens, U16s and U12s and it’s just been outstanding to be out here in Dubbo seeing the games being run,” he said.

“Everyone I’ve spoken to has just asked me how we can expand the event, how can we make it bigger and better and get more people involved, you look at this weekend and think it can only grow, it’s great

“It’s been really exciting just to see the interest and everyone coming out and wanting to get involved, sport brings people together and we’ve seen that here this weekend, we’ve had people coming to Dubbo from all over NSW, people coming down from Queensland and it brings people together for a common cause, everyone’s out here having fun.”

Johnny Knox travelled down from Tamworth to join in the fun. “Brought the kids and family down for the touch carnival, everyone’s having a great time, win, lose or draw, they’re having a great time. Good to get through after the floods, a lot of potholes in the roads but we got here.”

George Williams took out this year’s honour.

“This photo of the old Two Mile Creek Rail Bridge just out of Walgett is incredible,” Mr Coulton said.

“It was an immediate stand-out – the beautiful colours of golden hour at sunset, the perfect symmetry of the

bridge and the floodwater flowing underneath that is synonymous with what many areas of the Parkes electorate have experienced this year.

“George’s photo was hard to go past. It’s a postcard-perfect image that makes you want to go and visit this bridge in person. And that’s

exactly what this photo competition is about – showcasing the best, sometimes hidden, parts of the Parkes electorate.”

Bridge Over Troubled Waters was one of more than 130 entries received in the Christmas Card Photo Competition.

FOCUS ON FLETCHER

From vegies to lamb – it’s all agriculture

By JOHN RYAN

LISA Grech has worked at Fletcher International for about four years and says, after a long road, she believes she’s found her niche.

She grew up in Camden into a family with a strong market garden work ethic, and moved to Narromine at 18 when her dad bought a local property, moving into Dubbo to try some different roles at age 30.

“I grew up on a vegetable farm. I’d get off the school bus and me and my brother would be straight into things, packing lettuces, or cabbages, or whatever needed to be done,” she told Dubbo Photo News

“We enjoyed it all, being outside, the freedom – it definitely gave me a strong work ethic.

School holidays were spent on the back of a potato harvester harvesting potatoes for the chip factories, stuff like that.”

Lisa enjoyed being close to Sydney but also enjoyed living the rural life, gaining a real appreciation of the agricultural way of life and the importance of the industry.

“I grew up in the industry, Dad always wanted to have a cotton farm and that’s why we moved up here when I was 18. He bought a farm at Narromine so I worked there for 12 years, driving tractors and doing everything else – Dad loves his faming,” she said.

“It was good moving to Nar-

romine, everything is on a much bigger scale here. Down at Camden we had different crops coming on all the time, but up here it’s like only every six months, you have your wheat, then you have your cotton.”

Lisa said she went through her school years with no real idea what she wanted to do when her student days finished, and because all her family members were working on the farm, it was something she just went straight into without really thinking about.

“I’m definitely a hands-on person, I hate computers and stuff like that, and I came here (to Fletcher International) because it was something different. I spent some time working in retail then heard there were some pretty good opportunities here and the hours were good,” said Lisa, who ended up in a slot on the harvest floor after three weeks on the job.

“I like working where it’s fastpaced and never a dull moment. The busier I am, the quicker the time goes and the more enjoyment I get out of it. I like having a little bit of variety.

“I’ve been up there ever since and really enjoy it. I work with great people, I’ve made a lot of mates, people from all over the world.

“A lot of the workers from overseas are quite funny and make you laugh,” Lisa added.

“It must be a big shock for peo-

ple coming to work here from other countries, things are so much different to back home for them. It’s great to hear their stories and some of them have just had babies but have to leave them because there are these great opportunities here in Australia for them.

“They talk about how much they miss their families so it makes you appreciate what we all have living in Australia; we’re here at home and have these great opportunities, we don’t have to worry about travelling overseas just to get a decent pay cheque.”

Lisa has a second job working at a petrol station and says her main aim is to pay her house off, enjoying the fact there’s always plenty of overtime at the Fletcher plant as well, which she describes as “another bonus”.

“Yep, there’s always work, it’s up to you pretty much how many hours you want to put in – and if you want to climb the ranks, you can. I did Quality Assurance (QA) for the last two hours every day when someone else was unable to, so I’ve learnt that as well and I like that variety,” Lisa said.

She said the workplace culture was reason to work at the company all by itself, full of praise for the Fletcher family and how they treat their employees.

“I’ve seen what Melissa (Fletcher) does up on the floor, she looks after everyone, and Roger comes up every morning and walks

around, says hello to everyone with a big smile on his face, and that’s important – it shows that he cares and he’s got his heart in the job, which makes everyone else

want to put their heart into it as well,” she said.

“If people want a good job and they want to learn to work hard, this is the place to be.”

My dad moved to Dubbo to work as a Mathematics teacher. When I finished my degree in 2007 and I wasn’t sure what to do next, he suggested I come and work with him. I started teaching Mathematics part-time in 2008 and completed my Postgraduate Degree in Education.

I teach Mathematics because it is beautiful. I love teaching the Year 11-12 course, but I especially enjoy the rigor of the Advanced and Extension Mathematics courses.

Mathematics is beautiful. It is nice to share the study of how we make sense of the natural world and humans’ work with young minds. It’s magical when they come to see the patterns and draw connections. I enjoy meeting many of my ex-students and hearing their stories of how they have used what I have taught them in Mathematics to improve their own lives and the lives of others.

Doug has the vision

By JOHN RYAN

DOUG Medcalf is one of Dubbo’s long-time small business owners who’s never had trouble finding workers, but this past year has been like nothing he’s ever seen.

He told Dubbo Photo News it’s not clear what’s driving the shortage of workers.

“Everyone’s having the same trouble, aren’t they. A lot of people are thinking they’re nearly ready to close the doors,” Mr Medcalf said.

Looking for a reason for the staff shortages isn’t easy.

“I couldn’t tell you. A lot of people blame the government but I don’t know that it’s their fault.

“I blame myself, I’ve employed three of my children through the business which has sort of made me a little bit complacent about having to look for other workers, but once people move around and leave town things change.”

His business Vision Tint supplies

and fits all sorts of tinting products to windows on motor vehicles and buildings.

“Finding experienced people within our industry is just impossible, they don’t exist, or if they do exist, they’re already employed and they’re not going to move to a regional area.”

He said tinting windows isn’t a high-profile trade like those enjoyed by electricians, builders, plumbers or mechanics where at least there’s a steady supply of new apprentices coming through the pipelines.

And as hard as finding workers is proving at the moment, Mr Medcalf said many employers are often just thankful if workers turn up. “If people just turn up, that’s a good start.”

Mr Medcalf said he initially had plans to get some cash at a job before he went to college or university, but he ended up staying in Dubbo and marrying his high-school

sweetheart and says he has “no regrets”, and still loves his work after four decades on the tools.

“I just love doing the job itself, although running a small business is not always what it needs to be,” he said, citing manifold rules, regulations and smothering red tape and compliance as factors conspiring to take the joy out of things.

He still sees positives about running a small business.

“Dubbo is a great place to have a small business. Like most tradies here we’re not just confined to Dubbo, we do work at Broken Hill, we go to Lithgow, we go to Tamworth, Wagga and so many other tradies do exactly that.

“The Dubbo tradies community is great. Lots of people in the industry work together, they’re mates.”

It’s not all work and no play, Doug loves his golf.

“It’s a good thing I enjoy golf,” Doug laughed, “Wednesday after-

noons is for golf, at Wednesday midday. I’m out.

“It’s good, we have a group in the Wednesday Comp, there’s normally 110 to 120 people playing, and for me it works because Wednesday afternoon doesn’t impose on family time, it just imposes on work time.”

He describes his weekly golf as

his social time, a form of mental health relaxation from the constant pressures of running a small business.

“It’s hugely important to have that outlet – we’ll grab a schooner before we walk out on the course, we’ll play for a couple of bucks and we enjoy the company of our mates.”

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Car torched

YEARS ago, when crooks broke into your house, it was the TV and VCR they were after.

Now it’s your car or dirt bike. Apparently amongst a subset of today’s youth, it’s all about taking turns to see (a) who gets to drive and hopefully initiate a police pursuit, and (b) who gets to torch the car when the fun is over.

Jason Hill sent in some photos of yet another car going up in flames near Illoura Street. Who knows what’s going through the heads of the fools committing these acts.

Pothole crisis

WE were driving between Wellington and Dubbo the other day, mainly because I was keen to experience what a goat track looks like in 2022. Like many drivers I’ve spoken to lately, I drove over a pothole – I couldn’t swerve because there was a car coming the other way.

So many people are telling me they’ve damaged their cars or almost had crashes caused by the abundance of potholes on our poorly-built road infrastructure, so I asked Dubbo’s state member Dugald Saunders about the chance of compensation for motorists who are out of pocket because the roads are so crap.

been working day and night to keep our roads safe and reconnect communities following successive extreme weather events across the state,” Mr Saunders said.

“Across regional NSW more than 170,000 potholes have been repaired since the first severe weather event hit parts of the state in late February of this year.

“Any claim for damage caused on a road under state government management is investigated and assessed thoroughly based on the details provided in the claim.”

Apparently Transport for NSW reviews all claims and refers those on local roads to the relevant councils or third parties who have responsibility for local road management, while claims can also be made through insurance. If a claimants insurer thinks Transport for NSW may be liable, they can lodge a claim on the insured’s behalf.

Liability decisions are determined based on individual facts and circumstances under sections 42 and 45 of the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW).

Dubbo Photo News has been told that Local Government Areas are responsible for about 90 per cent of the NSW road network, by length.

Transport for NSW advises motorists to drive to the conditions and adhere to the changed traffic conditions to avoid incident such as damage to their vehicles.

Cattle duffed

RURAL crime police are investigating 10 cattle missing from a property on Gilgandra Road, near Dubbo.

The cattle were discovered missing from the property after the owner discovered a gate had been tampered with, and are described as nine Angus weaners aged approximately 10 months, and one Hereford Weaner aged approximately 10 months.

All cattle are fitted with NLIS devices and yellow breeder tags.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of the cattle is urged to contact Dubbo Police on 6883 1599 or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Water, water everywhere...

...AND nothing will ever be the same.

When is this rain going to stop?

All of a sudden our poor road infrastructure is being shown up for just how bad it really is.

Just a few short years ago, Australia’s state borders meant nothing to almost all Australians other than being theoretical lines on a map, until the Covid pandemic and border closures all of a sudden intruded into our lives.

Now, for the first time, people

are cut off with regularity from basic travelling via our highways and byways – if you want to travel from Brisbane to Melbourne this week, you have to go along the coast or across to Broken Hill and turn left – that’s unbelievable in what used to be a first-world nation.

This week the Newell Highway was blocked between Peak Hill and Parkes, between Parkes and Forbes, and between Forbes and West Wyalong, just to name a few road closures.

It’s not much use putting flood warnings and evacuation updates in this column, as circumstances are changing so rapidly that any alerts can potentially be out of date almost before they’re issued.

Better than anything, this shows that our transport links are so vulnerable, and fragile. Mudgee was cut off the other week, now Molong is flooded.

We’ve seen the ‘Great’ Western Highway over the Blue Mountains either cut or with some lanes closed, and we’ve seen landslips and so forth close the Bells Line of Way in recent months, those roads destroyed simply because we had a bit too much rain.

For a first world nation, where for weeks traffic can’t drive from Parkes to Forbes on the Newell Highway, we really don’t do infrastructure very well.

Chopper rescues

THANK goodness for the local Westpac Rescue chopper.

On November 12 the chopper was tasked to carry out an urgent mission to a person who has suffered adverse effects after being bitten by an unknown insect or spider on a property west of Walgett.

The Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team stabilised the 61-year-old female who was bitten on the arm and airlifted her to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in a stable condition for observation and further medical treatment.

The day before, the rescue helicopter was tasked to a serious quad bike accident on a property east of Coonabarabran. Paramedics arrived on scene and carried out initial treatment of the 53-year-old male rider who suffered serious chest injuries after the quad bike he was riding rolled.

The victim was further stabilised by the Helicopter Care Medical Team prior to being airlifted to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in a serious but stable condition.  Send your news tips to john.r yan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Mozzie plague means bigger disease risks

By JOHN RYAN

MOSQUITOES are in plague proportions across some of the region thanks to incessant rain creating vast pools of surface water which has caused the tiny bloodsuckers to breed up in droves.

AREA Environmental & Heritage Consultants managing director Phil Cameron and his staff spend much of their work time in the bush, and during annual surveys for threatened species in the Narromine area they struck mosquitoes in their multitudes.

He said the ground was very wet under foot, with most of the land at least an inch under water and up to about a foot (30 centimetres) and more in some spots.

“Mosquitoes are cosmopolitan (everywhere across the globe), except for Antarctica. They have been around in their current form for 100 million years and are an everyday part of life,” Mr Cameron told Dubbo Photo News

“After heavy rains, or particularly wet seasons, they become an every-minute part of life as most species rely on standing water to breed and more so during warmer seasons.”

He said only the female mosquitoes feed off blood, which triggers a cascade of hormones to begin the process of egg production.

“The males are like the groom at a wedding – are just there to make up the numbers. They just don’t feed on mammals; some

feed from amphibians, while others feed from reptiles, fish, birds or other insects.

“As there are over 3500 species of mosquito there is a wide diversity in their behaviours, habitat and dietary preferences.”

As field ecologists, Mr Cameron said they understand the im-

portance of mosquitoes as a food source for other species such as microbats which can eat up to one thousand mosquitoes a night.

But with the good, comes the bad.

“Mosquitoes are of course widely recognised for their role as a vector in transmission of diseas-

es. Having succumbed to dengue fever from a job in a remote area in far north Queensland, it became very real to me that mosquitoes pose a real risk to our health and safety while at work,” he said.

“A basic reality is you can’t not do your job just because of any risk of being exposed to mosquitoes, but what you can do is minimise the risk by wearing appropriate clothing, wearing repellent and, in some instances, being adequately vaccinated or on medications for specific disease risks.”

He said the unfortunate thing is there is no one technique to minimise or remove the risk of getting bitten because there are so many variables related to the species of mosquito in question – such as the landscape you are working in, the disease risk you are exposed to, the type of clothes and colours you are wearing, and your own specific body chemistry.

“The take home message from someone who thinks about this type of risk a lot as an employer of people (i.e. not just thinking about me but as a requirement to provide a safe place of work) is do your homework, understand what the specific risk is, review government public health warnings and guidance materials, and prepare accordingly.

“And don’t forget about your pets – like you they get affected by the inconvenience of being bitten and several disease risks such as heart worm for dogs.”

MOON

PHOTOGRAPHERS all over pointed their cameras to the sky last week. Photo News’ Colin Rouse took this photo of the evening of November 8. While it may look spooky, “a blood moon is just a trick of the light”, according to space.com.

“A ‘blood moon’ happens when Earth’s moon is in a total lunar eclipse. While it has no special astronomical significance, the view in the sky is striking as the usually whitish moon becomes red or ruddy brown,” the news site’s experts reported last week.

JOE Flick’s grandfather Michael was a WWI Anzac who fought in France, only to be discriminated against when he returned home.

To carry his grandfather’s legacy, Joe Flick is currently in France, commemorating 66 Indigenous soldiers who fought in the war.

Throughout the years, Flick’s mission has been to educate Australians and European countries on the sacrifices Indigenous Australians made to fight on the battlefield when they were not recognised as people in their home country.

His grandfather used to march behind Anzac soldiers – until one day he didn’t – he marched in the opposite direction.

“All of this happened at home, they were treated equally in France,” Mr Flick told Dubbo Photo News

“Pop’s children weren’t allowed to go to school because they were black and had segregated seats at picture theatres.

“Unfortunately, it still happens – not to the same extent, but there is discrimination with people living in lower socioeconomic areas and employment.

“I think (my grandfather) would’ve had a lot of doubt about why he fought.

“My dad used to tell me that Pop told them that WWII had nothing to do with them and they shouldn’t fight.”

Mr Flick strives to find out more about his family’s history, including possible links to the First Fleet.

“I want to know where we come from and what our history is,” Mr Flick said.

“We didn’t know too much about Pop’s stories,

we just knew he was in the war, we didn’t know which medallion he wore or anything like that initially.

“I wanted to share his sto-

ry and it wasn’t much more than that originally.

“Back then, they didn’t keep records of when Aboriginal people were born,

died or married.

“Over the years, we found Pop’s records and discovered that he was awarded two medals: George Medal

and Victory Medal.”

In his discoveries while visiting an aunty in Ceduna, South Australia, Flick found a letter from a man called Charles Collett, who served with his pop in the war, with an address in Sydney.

“A few years had passed, and I thought I’ll just ring up directories and see if there is anyone at the address,” Mr Flick said.

“A lady answered the phone, and I told her who I was, and she asked if I wanted to speak to her dad; this was about 1995.

“I asked if he was still alive, and she told me he was 98 at the time.

“We talked about Pop and France – he was very pleased I called.

“The next year I visited him on his 99th birthday with my dad, aunty and sister.”

Mr Flick attended Charles Collett’s funeral two years later.

After Flick’s meaningful interaction with the man, he was determined to collect more information on Aboriginal soldiers.

He was then invited to share his findings at the Anzac Day ceremony at the French embassy in Canberra.

Also a rugby league player, Flick went on a footy trip to France in 2013.

“My dad told me previously that my pop used to serve in a place called Villers-Bretonneux, and on this trip we came to a sign post saying the place was only six kilometres away, and I said, ‘Ah, we have to go,’” Mr Flick said.

“We saw a little museum while we were walking through, then a guy spotted an Aboriginal flag, so we all went that way.

“There was a flag and a photo of an Aboriginal soldier amongst a group of others with just a bit of text about the Aboriginal men who fought.

“I thought to myself, ‘No, that’s not telling the real story,’ and organised a meeting with the Australian ambassador while he was in France.

“He invited me back the following year and we held a ceremony with dances and digeridoos.”

Mr Flick needed funding to make his trip to France an annual event.

“After years of applying to local, state and federal governments, I applied for a Churchill Fellowship,” he said.

“I had to put what I was going to do in 150 words and had an interview – I was very emotional.

“I had dinner in Paramatta that night and I got a phone call from an unknown number and answered it.

“The man on the phone told me he was from the panel and was impressed with my interview and would be invited back for another interview.

“He asked me not to tell anyone yet.”

Mr Flick is currently in France, sponsored by the Churchill Fellowship, resting crosses of the Aboriginal soldiers in multiple cemeteries.

The crosses have been painted by students from Dubbo College Delroy Campus, Dubbo College South Campus, and Wellington High School.

Mr Flick wants to continue his grandfather’s legacy with current and future generations.

Crossing paths through the past

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

DUBBO College South Campus student Jobie Castledine discovered family history when he participated in a school project.

Dubbo College South Campus and Dubbo College Delroy Campus partnered with WWI Anzac Michael Flick’s grandson, Joe Flick, to rest crosses for Aboriginal soldiers in France.

The students were provided a name and asked to design a significant cross to lay in the cemetery.

Reading through the list of names, Jobie recognised his great-great grandfather’s name and began conducting his own research.

“He had to change his name twice to enlist in the war. His first changed name was Samuel Brown and his second was Darcy Wills, but his real name is Sylvester Sullivan,” Jobie told Dubbo Photo News

“It’s pretty special to me, he comes from my family – my mob – I have him in my blood.

“I’m interested in learning more, we collected a range of documents and war certificates at home.”

To honour his great-great grandfather’s contribution, Jobie reflected his family line on the cross.

Jobie’s mum, Tracy Rapley, received a call saying Jobie was looking forward to designing a cross reflecting his family.

“It didn’t surprise me that Jobie knew who he was – it made me very proud,” Tracy said.

“Sylvester has such a story with having to take on two alias names and to be able to get where he wanted to be while fighting for his country, when his own country didn’t even recognise him as a person.

“He was seen no different

than flora and fauna.

“He went to the other side of the world and fought alongside his brothers who loved him, and died where he wanted to be.

“His spirit is still over there –it’s been very emotional.”

Tracy said she is working with Joe to bring Sylvester to Australian soil.

She is thankful for the cultural centre in Trangie for reflecting the importance of Syl-

vester and other Aboriginal influential people.

“It gives us not only a sense of who they were, but their culture and what they represent,” she said.

“We’re often misrepresented in the media, and you don’t often hear about the good stories.

“These are the good stories –by kids growing up and knowing their past and what they stood for.”

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

DUBBO College Delroy Campus Year 8 student Quisha Byers has participated in a project in collaboration with WWI Anzac Michael Flick’s grandson, Joe Flick, and the school.

The project was to design a cross for Joe to take to France to commemorate

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

the soldiers and rest them on their headstones in their cemeteries.

Quisha painted the crosses using significant cultural colours and was inspired by what she had learnt.

“I learnt a lot through the project, and I really enjoyed designing a personal cross,” Quisha told Dubbo Photo News

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

By AARON HILL

CYBERPUNK: Edgerunners is the newest anime on Netflix by Studio Trigger with 10 episodes. After a car accident, street kid David Martinez, chooses to stay alive and joins a Cyberpunk group while installing a risky cybernetic implant to getting the girl of his dreams.

Back in 2020, with a couple of delays, the game Cyberpunk was released and didn’t feel complete with all these hilarious glitches. While CD Projekt Red is working on fixing the game, Netflix released the show, and it has managed to become one of the best anime series.

This show doesn’t hold back –it was over the top extreme. It’s brutal, exciting, we care for the characters, especially the main

character. It’s very colourful, and extremely bombastic.

In conclusion, this is a must watch if you’re a fan of anime and Cyberpunk vibes, and I’m giving this one a 9/10.

*Aaron Hill is a local Dubbo film-buff.

It took an older member of the Dubbo community who could not put up with the disgusting mess some residents had left after they stacked general rubbish into their recycling bins (which were not collected for obvious reasons). The bins were then tipped over, and all the rubbish emptied out, leaving as a rotting eyesore in a busy street.

GO FIGURE

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

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

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION

STRANGE BUT TRUE

You’ve no doubt heard of shattering a glass with your voice, but how about singing at a pitch so low only an elephant can hear it? That feat belongs to Tim Storms, who possesses a 10-octave vocal range and holds the Guinness World Record for lowest note produced by a human and widest vocal range.

In some parts of the world, tarantulas have “pet” frogs, which they protect from predators.

At the Harvard-Yale annual college football matchup in 2004, Yale students played quite the trick on their opponents by dressing as Harvard pep squad members and handing out crimson and gold placards to the crowd. While told their cards would spell out “Go Harvard” when raised, the actual message read “We Suck”.

Two of the most common paint colours at Walt Disney World are “Go Away Green” and “Blending Blue”. Their curious monikers attest to the fact that Disney Imagineers created them to make your eyes ignore them.

The first known dental filling dates to the Neolithic period and was made of beeswax.

You don’t need a body to play video games – just a mind! Labgrown human and mouse brain cells inhabiting a petri dish became sentient enough to learn how to play Pong.

Billy Joel’s song “Only the Good Die Young” was banned by some radio stations for being “anti-Catholic”. Joel hardly minded, however, as the resulting publicity made the tune so popular that he wrote to the president of Seton Hall College in New Jersey (the first entity to forbid it) requesting a ban on his

next record as well.

The distress signal SOS does not ac tually stand for anything.

A tornado in the American state of Oklahoma once ripped a full motel off the ground. Its sign was later found in Arkansas, the next state.

Sixty-five per cent of test subjects had the urge to yawn after reading about yawning.

There are more English speakers in China than in the United States.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

Got soap scum? Mix dishwashing detergent with baking soda and use it to scrub bathroom walls. It’s very effective, and surprisingly gentle, as baking soda is a mild abrasive that works well without scratching.

“Unless the label states otherwise, the best rinse temperature

for clothing is cold water. It will help the clothing retain its shape and colour better, and – bonus –it’s the least expensive setting.” – I.F.

When whipping egg whites, make sure you bring your eggs to room temperature beforehand. They will yield greater volume. Store asparagus in the fridge only for a few days before serving. Trim the cut end and use wet paper towels to wrap it. Keep it in the crisper drawer.

Getting your old deck of cards out to play? If they feel gummy, put them in a plastic baggie, add a little bit of talc, baby powder or cornstarch, seal the bag and shake. Knock the excess off before removing from the bag. Shuffle as usual.

“Wanna spot clean your floor? Spray an old pair of socks with floor cleaner, put them on and do the cha-cha-cha.” – V.B.

Mission melanoma Doing it for Lionel Charity Golf Day

Contributed by SALLY EVERETT

AFTER having to postpone the original golf day due to wet weather, we teed off at ‘Royal Narromine’ under beautiful skies on Saturday, Nov 5.

There were 76 registered golfers who made the most of lush fairways and tricky sand greens in a three person Ambrose. They were supported by a number of enthusiasts who came to the club to support the cause, participate in the auction and raffle and enjoy the live music provided by DJ Scott Edwards (Lionel’s younger brother).

Golfers travelled from Nyngan, Sydney, Central Coast and Dubbo to Narromine, the home of the NSW Sand Greens Veterans Championships.

The purpose of the day was to create awareness of Melanoma and the importance of regular skin checks as well as to raise vital funds for the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation (ASCF). Funds raised are still being counted but we anticipate the final tally to be in excess of $11,000 for the Foundation.

The ASCF has four pillars:  Advocacy – to make skin checks more accessible;  Education – raising awareness of

the importance of early detection of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers;  Research – we fund melanoma clinical trials; 

Support – monthly support meetings, online content & one on one support.

Founder of the Foundation Jay Allen (OAM) and Directors Ash Piek and Eve Brown travelled to Narromine for the event and to make a special announcement. I am very humbled and proud to have been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Foundation.

We look forward to making this an annual event in October each year.

Our Maguire family thank each and every person who participated in our special day and have supported us on our journey. The Golf Day was the first anniversary of dad Lionel’s passing so it was a very emotional time for all of us.

Special thanks to the Narromine Golf Club, Dugald Saunders MP and Mayor Craig Davies, Harry Thuaux for conducting the auction and Katie Havercroft Photography for capturing the day for us.

To those that approached us and committed to getting a skin check, thank you! This may just save a life.

Enjoying civilian motorcycling life

By JOHN RYAN

Ian Macarthur spends a lot of time on his 750cc 1941 WL Har ley-Davidson and he wouldn’t have it any other way, the rare civilian version of Harley’s famous World War II model a hit wherever he rides.

“It’s very similar to a WLA (mili tary model) but it’s got a few little things because it’s the civilian model, the mudguards and the wheels are different, there’s less clearance than on the WLA,” he told Dubbo Photo News when we caught up with him at the recent Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee.

The gearstick is on the fuel tank, meaning you have to take one hand off the handlebars to change gears, it boasts an old-fashioned, oversize bicycle seat on a hydrau lic shaft – it’s obviously from a very different era. But, he says, it’s absolutely great fun to ride.

“It’s fantastic, I’ve got a late model bike and I hardly ride it. I love riding the older stuff and you don’t have to worry about the po lice when it comes to speeding,” Ian laughed.

“Cruising speed is about 50 miles-per-hour, that’s 80 km/h, and everyone waves when they go past, and when you pull in for fuel everyone wants to talk to you.”

Just like Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee, where this very original looking V-Twin is always a talking point.

“People ask me where I got it,

but I built it, mostly, it’s built out of parts. I built it years and years ago, out of parts I sourced. I had a mate get me a gearbox and I went from there.”

Ian has no idea how many hours he had put into the project – and he doesn’t care – he said the whole experience had been one of enjoyment.

“It was heaps of fun, I love it, and I love that I was able to build it from bits and pieces and that’s one reason why I ride it so much, I just love everything about it,” he added, citing the bike’s reliability as one fact which surprises many people.

“I’ve ridden it to Broken Hill and back and all over the place. I don’t have to do any work to keep it running, nothing, it’s totally reli able. I rode to Broken Hill in one day, 805km, had a day there and rode it home and never touched it.

“I ride it everywhere,” he said.

“I put it together myself so I know everything that’s in it. I do the points occasionally and change the oil, that’s it – just regular, routine maintenance the same as any mechanical vehicle.”

He said the bike has its very own personality.

“It has its times,” he laughed.

“There’s a bit of push and shove to start it, you’ve got a manual advance and a choke, sometimes it starts first kick, sometimes it takes 20 kicks, but it always starts.”

RHONDA Betts of Trangie is receiving well deserved congratulations after some amazing performances at the Pan Pacs.

Dragons on the road again

By GEOFF MANN

DESPITE the Wambuul Macquarie River running a banker for the past few months the Outback Dragons have still found ponds on which to paddle.

Earlier this month they were on the water at Lake Canobolas competing against 20 teams in the Regional Dragon Boat competition.

The Dragon men’s Tens came a close second and in the mixed race finished third.

Since May members have been traveling to Forbes on Sunday mornings to train on the Lake with local club members. Unfortunately that ended when the Lachlan broke its banks and 100mils last weekend makes it unlikely there will be any further events at the venue this year.

Last weekend Outback Dragon club members were at Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast

were joined by some members of the Forbes Club. The Pan Pacs showcases 40 sports at the Asia Pacific’s biggest and best annual Masters games where competitors must be at least 30 years of age.

The Outback Opens brought home silver medals and a trophy while the 500 metres mixed were pipped at the post by a team from Singapore.

Graham Board was the Dragons’ sweep, Helen Simmons the coach and Sue Mile assistant coach.

Last ends for two champions

By GEOFF MANN

DUBBO City and RSL Combo Bowlers were rocked by the news of the passing of two great characters within hours last weekend.

David Davis and John McMillan have been synonymous with bowls in Dubbo, plying their skills on the original Dubbo City lawns in Victoria Park before adapting to the synthetics when the ancient club moved north of the railway line.

Dave gained renown as a club administrator, enthusiastic bowler and wonderful coach and mentor.

John was a terrier on the cial drink.

Ducks run by a Duckling

By GEOFF MANN

IT was a very different program on Sunday morning when the youngest ducking Mia Uerbegang wrote up the blackboard.

Several of the Ducks were bemused by the program the youngster had devised with a little tweaking from Mark Scullard. What a pleasant surprise and a tick for the next generation was the general consensus from members of the sixty-plus years old Dubbo sporting institution.

Judy Walsh says it made for a very interesting session on the pond.

“Our quiet gentleman of the club Glen Smith went very close to doing a hat trick.

Firstly, he won the final of the 50 metres Freestyle from Mark

Prentice and Peter Hargreaves. He backed this up with the Closest to Time 50m Breaststroke (0.97) from Mia Uebergang (1.03) and Robert Dickerson (1.09).

Glen was also right in the hunt with partner Mark Prentice in the 2x25m Backstroke/Backstroke brace relay. The pair touched first but had smoked the timer and handed the spoils to John Wherritt and Nicole Johnstone.”

Judy herself had a win in the 25m Backstroke/ Breaststroke from Mark Prentice and Mark Scullard and sent out a huge welcome to Michaela Ross who joined in the fun.

Overall, a most successful morning away from the weather all thanks to the beautiful duckling, Mia Uebergang and her very interesting program.

SUNDEE MORNING BOWLS

‘Carrying the flag’

Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’

ONE Sundee bowler carried the flag representing the Combo Bowlers at last week’s Dubbo City Bowlo ‘Presidents’ thing’, a knockout event over two days at Sporties.

Pete Ruzans and Judith O’Conner won both games on Saturday and their semi on Sunday morning. Unfortunately their run came to a wet and sticky end at the hands of Gumpy and Pete McKechnie in the final.

The miserable weather once again reduced our numbers and restricted games to just 10 ends on Sundee morning. This was to the detriment of those teams who had factored in ‘comeback’ to their strategy!

Julie Brown and Bryan O’Sullivan were one of these. They opened with a four on end three but ‘New knee’ Graham Ross and Ruby Stockings took over, chalking up shots five ends in a row. It was enough to stifle any ‘come from behind plans’ by Julie and Sully who added a triple but finished two shy when ‘she tumbled down’!

The triples on Rink 10 featured a ‘great team’ against ‘one not so great’! Mary Perry was very ready, Frank Armstrong always very competitive and Pete Sinclair (Team MFP) very experienced. Together they demonstrated their assets in this one game. Sue McCauley, Ray Strawhan and Trish Gosper did not know what was ahead after they opened the scoring with a solitary. They added one more on the fifth and one on the last. Meanwhile MFP kept adding them up and in a ‘smacking’ performance that featured a triple on End three, four lots of doubles and two won by 10!

Chris Castlehouse – still finding his legs – Leo Balstad, Eric Satchell are all pretty determined rollers and they played a solid team in Ron McCauley, Pete Bennison and Col Cottee. The latter showed they meant business, scoring on the first three ends to lead six nil. Despite some ‘determined’ – albeit low scoring ends – Chris, Leo and Eric couldn’t narrow the margin and went down by 10 shots.

Allan Stratford and John Cole showed how to play a shortened game – get in early and hope she rains! A couple of triples, a pair of twos and a quad proved decisive as Doc Livingston and Gordon Scott dropped in three singles. A big 13 shot win for Al who spent most of the morning rolling the jack!

This Sunday 30 bowlers from Scone are joining the RSL Combo for a ‘Day on the Green’ at RSL Sporties.

Winners – Allan Stratford and John Cole; Runners Up – Mary Perry, Frank Armstrong and Pete Sinclair.

John.

V8s returned to Morris Park

By GEOFF MANN Photos by DUBBO SPEEDWAY CLUB

DUBBO Speedway fans were treated to another massive meeting earlier this month when SSA Production Sedans, Street Stockers, 4 Cylinder Sedans and Junior Sedans burned up the track.

Volunteers Dubbo Speedway Club officials worked hard to once make both the track and surrounding area

something to be proud of after months of bad weather.

“All the drivers, crews and spectators were revved up for a great night’s action on a packed program,” according to Brett Williams.

“All divisions had three heats before the A main except the Late Models which only had two before their final race closed out the evening.”

According to Brett the racing was extremely close and competitive through-

out with Jacob Hignett taking his first win in the junior sedans division.

The Dubbo Club would like to thank all the sponsors – Luna Park, Orana Fire Protection, Western Tilt Tray Service, JR Richards & Sons, Monster Sign & Wrap, Complete Exhaust, Burson Auto Parts, PCYC and Dippin Dots.
