ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE

DubboPhotoNewsand Dubbo Mowers and Chainsaws drew the lucky winner for the push mower last week – and we had a lot of fun reading the hundreds of entries which filled in the blank: “I’d rather be – – than mowing my lawn.”

As we were reading through the answers to the question, one in particular caught our eye.

Tim Barnes said he would rather be “on the front page of this paper” than mowing his lawn!

While Tim wasn’t the eventual winner (you can find out who did win inside today’s paper), with Christmas just around the corner we thought we would make his holiday wish come true.

So, this week’s cover photo features Tim, who we hope can take a week off from lawnmowing duties!

You can read more about Tim and his role working for University of Sydney School of Rural Health in today’s Dubbo Works section of DubboPhotoNews

Building your home the GJ way

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

Darren and Kylie Semmler knew there was a gap in the market eight years ago when it came to building a home in Dubbo.

They decided to introduce GJ Gardner Homes to the Dubbo community and have grown nice ly since the business started.

The uncertain times of Covid impacted their plans, with the shortage of trades and materials, and some of those challenges are still happening, however their quality and loyalty to the local community has shone through.

The Dubbo franchise was recently awarded at the MBA Excellence in Building Awards for their Parkview display home – it’s an award that recognises the quality of the build.

“We felt there was an opportunity to bring GJ Gardner Homes to Dubbo as we felt the model would work,” Mr Semmler told Dubbo Photo News.

“It’s all based on local builders and that model obviously works in a small country town, which Dubbo isn’t anymore, but every one still knows everyone.

“The most important thing to me is to create the dream that

people are looking for. They come in with a dream on a bit of paper and want to build that dream.

“Going right through from that piece of paper to what is sitting on a block of land is incredibly satis-

fying and part of the GJ way.”

For Darren, Kylie and the rest of the team at GJ Gardner Homes, offering a range of diverse pricing and styles is vital for their clientele.

The range includes smaller packages, to mid-range designs, to prestige builds, with over 500 plans that are customisable to every individual.

Kylie understands the individ-

ualism and creativity every home needs.

“It’s so rewarding when you’re working with individual clients from the beginning and finding out exactly what they’re wanting in their homes,” she said.

“It’s one of the biggest investments people make in their lives and we want to be there with them.

“Working through the design, construction to the handover – it’s really rewarding – every component is satisfying.

“It’s an honour that they’ve chosen us.”

Darren said they often get customers who introduce their relatives or friends to the business, or they get returning customers who are looking to build their second or third home.

“We really pride ourselves on the quality and feeling we can deliver to a home and the people who are moving in.”

It’s one of the biggest investments people make in their lives and we want to be there with them...

Seniors Happy Life – bringing out the fun in our mature years

WE’RE all getting older, which is a wonderful thing!

With many of us now enjoying far more of our retirement years, we have so much time to do the things we want to do, and to read what we want to read.

That’s where an exciting new magazine called “Seniors Happy Life” comes in.

Seniors Happy Life is an innovative new national publication that promises “100% Enjoyment” for readers right across Australia, and is the result of a collaboration between two friends, both successful regional publishers over many years across Central West NSW.

With the first-ever pilot issue having just been published, Director of “Seniors Happy Life” Bob Holland believes there’s never been a magazine quite like it.

“This is not just another publication, our aim is to put some more enjoyment into people’s lives. ‘Content is king’ is the golden rule of successful magazine publishing, and that’s what we’ve tried to deliver,” he said.

“It has no ads at all, and is totally devoted to being entertaining and uplifting and informing those of us in our latter years looking for a bright read to add to the enjoyment of our lives,” he added.

Seniors Happy Life is packed with 40 pages of appropriate stories, laughs, puzzles, sentiment, nostalgia and more, all designed to make readers feel good – all in colour, and because the publication has Seniors’ special needs in mind, it is printed in LARGE PRINT.

The publication is aimed at not just the elderly still in their homes, but for those in aged care facilities, group homes and retirement villages all around Australia.

“I want this to be viewed by aged care facilities as almost an aide, as a way of putting some enjoyment in people’s lives,” Bob explained.

“We’re all living longer, and so many of us are requiring not just increased care for our physical health, but for our mental and emotional well-being. I see this as a sort of ‘Panadol of magazines’,” Bob explained.

Marketing Manager Donna Fal-

coner, well known as one of the faces of Dubbo Photo News, believes that the growing market for a product like Seniors Happy Life is part of the publication’s unique appeal.

“Our target market is seniors, we want to bring some joy into their lives, along with the benefits that this brings to their well-being and happiness,” she explained.

“I don’t see anything out there quite like it,” she added.

Another unique feature of the magazine is that it is chock-full of original writing, comment, jokes and fun facts – no free plugs, media releases or government bulletins cluttering its bright pages.

From the original artwork cover – in the style of the famous Norman Rockwell “Saturday Evening Post” illustrations of the 1920s and 1930s – to the feature articles, interviews and comment pages, it’s all work from the extended Seniors Happy Life team.

“It’s light, informative and entertaining, all bundled into one,” Donna said.

“At a time like this when everything seems so negative, this is an uplifting publication for

Seniors everywhere. It offers wonderful therapeutic benefits, and is also a good read,” she said.

Bob hopes Seniors Happy Life will especially help those who have to contend with feelings of loneliness and isolation among other late-in-life challenges.

“The other publications aimed at seniors that I am aware of tend to target those whose lives have not been impacted in the same way as others who now find themselves on their own, restricted in what they can do, and who are often very reliant on care through aged care facilities, or by visiting care and service providers.

“Seniors Happy Life is nothing like those publications and doesn’t set out to be. We have very clear

and different objectives and are aiming at filling what we see as a type of void in many seniors’ lives.

Bob explained that his own personal journey over recent years has informed and inspired his aims for Seniors Happy Life.

The idea arose when his wife Jackie was diagnosed with a rare but fatal brain disease, eventually passing away in February 2022, aged 72, after being fully cared for by Bob in their family home for two years.

This experience, and the grieving period that followed, caused him to appreciate the plight of people in similar circumstances much more.

“I have since committed the remainder of my life to trying to improve the quality of life for older people, and Seniors Happy Life is part of that process.

“The publication may not change people’s circumstances, but it can certainly help change the way they feel about them.”

The pilot issue of Seniors Happy Life is currently being rolled out across Australia and is selling for $4, with regular monthly issues planned from February 2023.

“When it’s all said and done, Seniors Happy Life is designed to meet a different need for different people,” Bob explained.

He believes Seniors Happy Life will provide different benefits for different people.

“It’ll help bring relief to those who suffer from loneliness and isolation. It’ll help comfort those experiencing boredom.

“It’ll lift the spirits of those who are feeling sad or downcast. It’ll invigorate those who are well and have a zest for life. It’ll add further enjoyment for those who crave constant entertainment. It’ll help offset falling into a poor state of mind,” Bob said.

With its first issue now available at Snare’s Newsagency in Talbragar Street and The Book Connection in Macquarie Street in Dubbo, now’s your chance to see what all the fuss is about.

“Seniors Happy Life is from the same people who have made such a success of Dubbo Photo News and Orange City Life, and we are using the same philosophy of ‘bringing out the best in people’,” Bob explained.

“If we can bring a little light entertainment, reading and enjoyment to older Australians’ lives, then it will all have been worth it!” Bob concluded.

More information can be found on the Seniors Happy Life website (along with the pilot issue in full) at www.seniorshappylife.com.au.

Supporting survivors after suicide

By JOHN RYAN

SUICIDE is being recognised as one of the most harmful events that can happen in communities, the ripple effect causing trauma for family and friends who are left to grieve, often feeling they should have been able to prevent a death.

Tracie Cavanagh is a support worker for ‘StandBy Support –After Suicide’, and says the Living Well Expo held in Dubbo this month is mainstream recognition that we, a community as a whole, need to work together to help prevent unnecessary deaths, and also help those who have been left behind.

“We’re first responders, we look after family members and witnesses; in the community, and in schools, the effects from suicide ricochet out – like a stone dropping in a lake, the hurt just spreads like ripples,” she said.

A major problem, she says, is the difficulty many family and friends have when it comes to helping those who are suffering; when they’re not sure what to say, or what to do, or concerned they may be intruding on someone’s private grieving.

“We do workshops as well to assist people who want to know ‘what do I say’, ‘what do I do’ to help people. (They’re for) those who want to support but aren’t sure how to go about things at such a difficult and sensitive time,” Tracie said.

“It’s so important for the mental

health of the people who want to help that they can be shown how they can help, with confidence.

“People who are directly impacted by suicide are eight times more likely to go on and suicide themselves if they don’t receive adequate support, so it’s really important that communities and organisations get behind these people who’ve been affected and are really there for them.”

Paw dogs can’t wait until Xmas

By JOHN RYAN

SANTA Paws 2022, the most antici-paw-ted event on this year’s calendar, is on again for the third year running and will go ahead, rain, hail, flood or shine.

It’s a chance for your pet to have their photo taken with Santa.

According to the Rotary Club of Dubbo, plenty of pet owners from previous years have said they’ll be back to not only give their pets

a treat and create paw-fect memories, but also to help raise funds for local charities.

Dubbo Photo News interviewed some of these pawfect pets and they said last year’s Santa Paws’ photo shoot was nothing short of pawfection.

The first photo shoot was on last Saturday, and the final session will be this Saturday, November 26, from 8am to 1pm at Ollie Robbins Oval

She’s a firm believer in collaboration, with StandBy already working to up-skill other local organisations “because if people contact them, and they know how to help, they’re less likely to fall through the cracks”.

“We offer free workshops to anyone in our local community, and other organisations. Our workshops can be tailored to meet their requirements, because we

work collaboratively with other organisations and support the clients. It’s really important that they know what we do, and we know what they do, so we can support the client holistically.”

New model for rural health aims to improve doctor numbers

IN an attempt to address the shortage of doctors in rural and regional areas, a Single Employer Model has been welcomed by both the state and federal governments.

The model sees Local Health Districts take on junior doctors as the single employer, in partnership with Primary Health Networks and individual GP practices.

NSW Minister for Regional Health Bronnie Taylor said the model adds an incentive for junior doctors to work and stay in the bush, with benefits including a higher salary early in their career and stable employment.

“The model demonstrates that by doing things differently we can deliver outcomes that work in our communities,” Mrs Taylor said.

However, she added the Federal Government’s decision to wait until next year before commencing the trial is too long for the communities needing immediate action.

“The GP crisis in the bush is real and our communities are calling for action now,” she said.

Salvos urge Orana community to band together

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

THE Orana Salvation Army aims to raise $10,000 to support local families in need over the Christmas period.

Salvos Captain David Sutcliffe said local communities always seem ready to band together during the holiday season to provide toys and food hampers for people in various circumstances.

“Christmas is meant to be a joyful time of year, but we understand that for a lot of families that it isn’t,” Mr Sutcliffe said.

“A lot of parents struggle throughout the year without the Christmas burden, especially this year, with the devastating floods, cost of living, and other factors.

“We’re finding a lot of people are unable to afford a special Christmas lunch, let alone gifts for their children.

“We just want to give people a reason to celebrate

Christmas.”

Mr Sutcliffe and his wife are nearing the end of their six years of working at Orana Salvation Army and are thankful for the support they and their team have received over the years.

“I find it encouraging and joyful seeing local organisations helping one another to

rally for those in need,” he said.

“Families and people who we reach out to are thankful to receive assistance – they’re overwhelmed in joy.

“It impacts their lives and then we know we’re making a difference.”

Mr Sutcliffe is partnering with Tomo’s Toy Run on Sat-

urday, December 3, to collect toys and additional donations for children in need.

The run will be held at the Dubbo Square carpark with food and coffee available for purchase.

People are encouraged to donate toys at the run, the Kmart Wishing Tree and Orana Salvation Army.

Growing services for trans youth in Dubbo

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

HEADSPACE youth peer worker

Cameron Hinton lived through and knew the complexities of coming out as transgender in a regional community.

Headspace held a trans awareness event in Victoria Park on Thursday, November 17, with other services, including Support After Suicide, Mission Australia, and Dubbo Sexual Health, to raise awareness of services and transgender people in the local communities.

Headspace youth peer worker Cameron Hinton has been advocating for transgender and intersex youth for many years, including volunteering for the service for four years before being offered a position.

Growing up, Cameron experienced difficulty as the services he required access to were in Sydney with limited outreach opportunities.

“It’s always been a topic that has been very close to me as a trans person living in a regional town,” Cameron told Dubbo

“I didn’t know what being trans was until I was 14 and didn’t come out until I was 16.

“I didn’t have the exposure I needed to understand my own feelings, so I experienced a lot of challenges and difficulty within myself.”

Cameron started volunteering to bring comfort to other people who are experiencing similar situations to those he did.

“I know for me personally, when I met trans people in the community, it was eye opening because I never met people who felt the same as I did,” he said.

“It was comforting to know that they were there to help me as well.”

Cameron said awareness events are vital for the community to showcase the services Dubbo has while providing a support for trans people.

“It shows that we see them as well,” he said.

“They are valued in their experiences, and they have a place to go to for support.”

Horizons Village shares the love with Pink Angels

By KEN SMITH

FOLLOWING a very successful and most enjoyable Melbourne Cup Luncheon & Fashion Parade, the Social Club from Horizons Village Dubbo presented Pink Angels with a

fantastic donation of $2000.

Pink Angels want to send out a huge thank you to Angela, Pip and the Horizons Village committee for their hard work and to all that supported this great event on Melbourne Cup Day.

Grants available for NSW Women's Week

DUBBO not-for-profit organisations are encouraged to apply for the 2023 NSW Women’s Week Grants program aimed to support women-focused events in March.

The week is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate and connect women and girls across the region.

Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said the week is a time to shine light while bringing women together and sharing strengths throughout the local community.

NSW farmers break economic records

DUBBO farmers are contributing to breaking NSW records when it comes to the agriculture economy, despite this year’s weather events.

The industry’s value rose by more than $ billion last year to a record of $23.1 billion.

Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said farmers continue to go above and beyond despite many challenges.

“Farmers are the backbone of bush communities and the state’s economy, and have shouldered the burden to keep supermarket shelves stocked despite unprecedented challenges in the past year,” Mr Toole said.

He said agriculture is set to become a $30 billion industry for NSW by 2030.

The state’s annual Performance Data and Insights report, released this week, showed the cropping sector delivered a 43 per cent increase, with livestock and export industries also reaching record breaking values.

Easing the pain of childhood sexual abuse

By JOHN RYAN

LES Spencer is general manager for the Survivors and Mates Support Network (SAMSN) and told Dubbo Photo News the charity has been around for 10 years, aiming to support male survivors of child sexual abuse and their families.

“We were founded by survivors of male child sexual abuse because they discovered there were no services for men who needed help, so they created one,” Mr Spencer said.

“We’re predominantly funded by NSW Health and Department of Communities and Justice but we also receive funding from the federal government because we are a national redress support service as well.”

Mr Spencer is keen to promote the service in case any local residents need the support they offer. he also wants to make sure other local service providers understand that SAMSN is there and able to help victims in a specialised way.

“We do a lot of community engagement, and we do training within the community as well, so we equip people with the skills to deal with disclosures of child sexual abuse.

“People who have experienced trauma, including child sexual abuse, live with the impact of that throughout their lives. On average it takes 25 years for a man to disclose that they were sexually abused, so the impacts of that are lifelong.

“But just because they have experienced it, doesn’t mean they can’t live a healthy life.”

He said, according to the statistics, the incidence of suicide amongst such victims is frightening.

“Men are highly represented in suicide stats and that has a lot to do with trauma, so the sooner a victim can come forward and start talking about his trauma, it actually helps him to live a better life and be a better parent, be a better partner.

“We run eight-week support groups, monthly drop-in meetings, and they can be either online or face-to-face – and the online support groups have actually enabled us to have a far greater reach into regional NSW,” he said.

Statutory review of native vegetation provisions of the Local Land Services Act

ARE you a land-owner whose livelihood is impacted by the Local Land Services Act 2013?

If you are, the Minister for Agriculture has commenced a five-year a statutory review of the native vegetation provisions of the Act. These provisions establish a framework to inform and regulate native vegetation management on rural land in NSW.

Local Land Services is supporting the Minister to carry out the review, with the assistance of an independent expert advisory panel.

A Discussion Paper is now on public exhibition and feedback is being sought. The Discussion Paper aims to help engage with and seek feedback from landholders, community and stakeholders on the statutory review.

Submissions close on Monday, December 12.

Donate a toy to spread the joy

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

TOMO’S Toy Run is returning in partnership with Orana Salvation Army after the success of last year’s event.

The event will be held between 7.30am and 10.30am on Saturday, December 3, at the Dubbo Square carpark with the ride commencing on Macquarie Street and continuing to Gilgandra and back.

There will be coffee and bacon and egg rolls organised by the local RFS with proceeds going to the Orana Salvation Army.

Organiser Nicholas Smith encourages everyone, whether a motorcyclist or not, to attend the event and support families during the holiday season.

“I remember doing the toy run with my dad when I was 13, which was run by another motorcycle club,” Mr Smith told Dubbo Photo News

He said the club could no longer run it and invited him and the Tomo’s Ride Group to take over.

“Last year we set the event up in two weeks because we didn’t have much notice and we still got a large turn out,” Mr Smith said.

“We had more than 160 bikes come to the morning event, and we had 110 come along for the ride.”

He said the importance of the

alising the joy on his daughter’s face when she opened Christmas presents.

“It’s a great feeling to know that as a father I can provide that memory and moment for her,” he said.

“I just find it sad that there are people in different situations

this event will help them do that.”

Mr Smith said each rider is required to donate a toy to participate in the ride.

Orana Salvation Army will collect the toys donated and divide them into age and gender appropriate categories.

“I know that Orana Salvation Army works with multiple char-

ities to ensure as many kids get toys as possible,” Mr Smith said.

“We have a lot of amazing sponsors who have really helped us organise this event, including Transforce, Monster Signs, Village Bakery Dubbo, Inland Petroleum, Denise’s Flower Studio, DMC Meat and Seafood Centre, Midwest Foods and Liquor Market, Work

Rest Play Here, Jr Richards and Sons, and Experimac Dubbo.

“The community have really helped a lot with putting the event on and we’re so grateful to help.”

For people who are unable to attend the event but want to donate a toy, please donate to Experimac Dubbo in Orana Mall by Friday, December 2.

Working together is the go for Vinnies

By JOHN RYAN

VINNIES helps a range of people in need throughout the region, but Vinnies Castlereagh Regional president Ian Wray says no one organisation or government agency can do everything by themselves, with the need being so overwhelming.

He was keen to speak not only to people who may need support from Vinnies at the Living Well Expo held in Dubbo this

month, but also other providers who may be able to work in with them.

“We’re here just promoting the services of St Vincent de Paul for Dubbo and the region,” Mr Wray told Dubbo Photo News, stressing it’s so important that all organisations come together not just for people to have that one-stop-shop, but also so the organisations can meet, learn and interact with each other so they can help each other out.

“It’s a fantastic system to bring everybody together, we’ve had a good old chat round here today and we’re talking about various things we can all do for Dubbo.

“I think the expo is an excellent idea and I’d like to see it promoted again next year. I think long-term this is going to be a very successful operation because it’s bringing all the services together and that’s most important.”

Dubbo’s shed men are doing well

By JOHN RYAN

DUBBO Community Men’s Shed secretary John Gibson points to masses of research which shows us that we can do certain things to improve our moods, reduce the risk of depression, strengthen relationships, keep us healthy and even add up to seven years to our lives, and he says it all comes down to living well.

The local group recently hosted its Living Well Expo in Dubbo which saw more than 30 exhibitors covering everything from health support networks, to community groups and trade demonstrations.

There were plenty of demonstrations of activities which can also provide interest and stress relief for people, from African drumming and beekeeping, to yoga and woodturning.

“The day also featured presentations from health and wellbeing practitioners – combining the nuts and bolts of what we come together for with some great resources to foster mental health and wellness,” Mr Gibson said.

“We’ve organised this event in conjunction with the Australian Men’s Shed Association. Marty from the Association organised a lot of the service providers and we organised the set-up – it worked out very well.”

He told Dubbo Photo News that, based on feedback from participating organisations and members of the public, the Wellbeing Expo will only grow in coming years.

“For sure, yes, we could do this probably every couple of years. We’re hoping more and more people will know about it,” he said, pointing out that people who are struggling in any way can visit the Expo be almost sure to find a provider that can help.

“Definitely, there’s a lot of mental health groups here, we’ve got U3A, we’ve got heart health, aged care facilities, the Beekeepers’ Association, and we’ve got the Groovy Booby Bus as well, so this event is very important for both men and women, it’s very good.”

Shed president Kevin Sinclair agreed and believes the event is a recognition of the way the community now sees the local blokes.

He says the word ‘community’ is embedded in the title of the Dubbo Community Men’s Shed for a vital and practical reason – and says it’s far more than a simple word.

“It’s great to see that people from all sorts of community groups in Dubbo have come together to support us because of the work we do for the community throughout the year. It’s tremendous to see the support that they’re giving us.”

new skills

Mr Klippel is confident the program will prepare children for early years of schooling as they will acquire skills like letter recognition and improve vocabulary.

“Reading at that young age and developing early literacy skills will help them once they get to school,” he said.

“Once they get to school, they are expected to know certain things, and through this program they have already taken a lot of those skills on board.

“We know that during early stages of life the brain is rapidly developing so it is a crucial time to support that development.”

He said the program also provides a bonding opportunity with children, parents and carers.

“We will also be providing additional things for parents to assist them to read stories by giving tips and suggesting ways on how to read,” Mr Klippel said.

“We have story times and rhyme times that have a lot of attraction from parents with young

“Staff can model how to share stories or songs with children to enhance their learning experience.

“It is a long program as it covers ages from zero to five so we’re expecting it to run for a while.”

Each book children receive in the program is written and illustrated by Australian locals, and the program is supported by The Book Connection in Dubbo.

Parents are encouraged to register their children for the program through the library.

A voice for regional youth

DUBBO youth have the opportunity to explore radio and podcast initiatives by sharing their voice and ideas within and outside the community.

The Regional Youth Radio Program is available for projects that enable young people to develop skills in podcasting, radio production and presentation.

A total of $250,000 is available to give regional youth a platform to express their voice with $75,000 dedicated to Aboriginal community projects.

Eligible applicants can apply for grants up to $25,000 for programs to enhance skills or training in audio broadcasting, or to fund equipment.

By JOHN RYAN

GROOVY Booby Bus founder Donna Falconer made the short journey to Dubbo Showground to take part in the Dubbo Community Men’s Shed Living Well Expo recently, and said it was great to 30-odd organisations come together to showcase their services.

“They’re all aimed at helping us live a healthier and happier life,” she said.

“It was a great way to connect and start life-saving conversations about health checks and what support is out there when it is needed, along with fun activities and lots of great demonstrations and displays.

“To have everyone together is invaluable as you might get information you didn’t realise you needed; or find out something valuable to pass on to a friend!” Donna said.

Because the Dubbo Region is the best place to build your career

Supporting students serve regional communities

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

UNIVERSITY of Sydney School of Rural Health education support officer Tim Barnes enjoys seeing students grow into their future endeavours when they complete their degree and internships.

Mr Barnes describes himself as a “support behind the scenes” as he ensures requirements of the curriculum are filled, aligning subjects, providing pastoral care and extra support.

“This year has been exciting because it is the first year that we’re running the whole medical degree in Dubbo,” Mr Barnes told Dubbo Photo News

“We have 24 first-year students this year so I’m helping to implement certain teachings that we’ve never done before in Dubbo.

“We have a new SIM suite with six rooms so students can practice on the SIM models before they go into the real environment at the hospital.

“There aren’t many places in Australia or the world which have the facilities we have here.”

Mr Barnes said regional training bases are essential for students to offer opportunities in rural environments.

“We know from studies that, by growing up rurally and doing

training in a rural environment, there is more of a chance that students will stay in the rural environment when they finish their degree,” he said.

Skills coming back to regional communities

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

ORANA Early Childhood Intervention presented five scholarships to speech pathologists and occupational therapists to financially assist students and encourage them to return to Dubbo and regional areas when graduated.

The service is a community-based program for young children between nought and 12 years and their families.

Service manager Merryn Anderson understands the hardships students would face when training services are not offered within their town.

She told Dubbo Photo News the scholarship program is good for the future of the service, and that she’s pleased Orana Early Childhood “is able to grow and nurture Dubbo students to help them with

their studies in hope of them coming back.”

The scholarships were presented by Janelle Burke, Nola Honeysett and Ruth O’Brien who each played a part in the foundation of Orana Early Childhood Intervention.

“No matter where we go with our service, those early roots and beginnings are what continue to shape and form us and be the really special elements of what we continue to preserve,” Ms Anderson said.

Sophie Stephens and Anna Ward were awarded the Janelle Burke Scholarship, Jessica Ryan and Madison Wykes were awarded the Nola Honeysett Scholarship, and Victoria Prince received the Ruth O’Brien Scholarship.

Madison Wykes said she had always wanted to be an occupational therapist so the schol-

arship will contribute towards her achieving her dream.

“I’m also a single mum so I’m not financially in the best situation,” Ms Wykes said.

“I think there are opportunities in this area, but in regard to therapy there is a lack of therapists because there aren’t many people coming from the city back to these types of areas.

“Most allied health courses are offered in Sydney, so a lot of the students stay in the city and don’t come back to their hometowns or rural areas,” she said.

Sophie Stephens acknowledged the lack of allied health staff in Dubbo and said she is excited about returning home once she finishes her degree.

“Children need all the help they can get,” Ms Stephens said.

Amy and Molly are partners in projects

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

Amy was touched by cancer during her teenage years when she lost her mother Gil to a rare form of Mesothelioma cancer.

She initiated the Tie Dye Project in 2017 with her sisters in memory of their mother while raising money.

The project was brought to Dubbo last weekend with the Kids Cancer Project agreeing to match each dollar raised.

Diagnosed at the age of 12 with osteosarcoma, Molly inspired Amy with her story and her passion for netball.

“I think that’s when Amy realised that playing netball was more than just throwing a ball on a court, but it was inspiring people and helping others through their journey,” Molly told Photo News

“After the 20-minute conversation we went our separate ways, then my family and I went to the cafe in the hospital.

“She came up to me and said, ‘Molly you touched my heart and I hope to stay in contact with you and be here through your journey.’

“After that, Amy visited the Ronald McDonald House multiple times and asked me to join the project in 2019.”

When Molly began her treatments, family friend Ryan Medley called Molly’s mother and reminded her Molly needs a reason to smile every day.

Molly and her family have been touched by the saying and con-

verted it to ‘rainbow in every day’ for the theme of the project.

McHappy Day was celebrated on Saturday, November 19, to raise money for Ronald McDonald House.

Amy is an ambassador for Ron-

Meals for independence

TASH May is the local Client Liaison Officer for Meals on Wheels. She does the initial sign up for the organisation’s clients that come onboard for meals.

Added to that she’s also the Volunteer Coordinator for this area, looking after Dubbo, Narromine and Trangie.

“It’s a vital service as it enables elderly people to continue living in their own homes, it gives them their independence.

“We’re not just meals, we’re meals, transport and social support as well –we’re more than just a meal and we also deliver Dubbo Photo News every Thursday,” she said.

Seeing so many issues which affect the most vulnerable people in the community, she’s a massive fan of the collaborative approach seen at the Dubbo Living Well Expo held at the Showground on November 9.

“This event is very important, it’s absolutely wonderful, I’ve learnt so much since being here. I’ve spoken to so many different providers as well, finding out that we can help them and they can help us, so it’s been great.

“It’s what community is all about. If it happens again, we’ll want to be here and the community will be wanting to see these events around the town on a regular basis.

“If people don’t know about ways to get help, they can’t access these services, so awareness raising is critical,” she said.

ald McDonald House after hearing Molly’s positive experience.

“Amy was able to visit me a lot at the house and we were really able to form a friendship because of it,” Molly said.

“It really is a special story now that Amy is an ambassador because she understands and is able to bring awareness.”

Molly initiated a fundraiser called Molly’s Mission to donate money to the house after her positive experience.

“We stayed there 299 nights, so we really did become family – it was more than just staying in a room,” she said.

“There are amazing people, and we were able to form connections with families.

“I was at the hospital a lot, but it was great because my family were able to stay there.

Molly said friendships she made in the house were unique as there was an understanding and sup-

Ag Visa to help Dubbo farmers find more workers

DUBBO farmers will have the opportunity to hire workers from Vietnam to help fill labour shortages.

The federal government has confirmed it will honour a Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam which was established before the Federal Election as part of the Agriculture Visa program.

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said the confirmation of the visa’s availability is essential as the region’s farmers are struggling to find workers to harvest their crops.

“Allowing workers from Vietnam to come to Australia on what was previously known as the ‘Ag Visa’ will help fill some of those critical jobs, which in turn will help to boost our food supply and provide relief to shoppers at the supermarket,” Mr Coulton said.

“We need to do all we can to relieve the workforce shortages so farmers can have the confidence to plant full crops for future seasons.”

IT’S A RECORD! 

Tanya Herbert (USA) has the world’s largest feet on a living person (female), according to the Guinness Book of World Records, with a right foot measuring 33.1cm and a left foot measuring 32.5cm. Tanya’s measurements mean that her shoe size is a US women’s size 18 or a US men’s size 16-17, depending on the brand. It’s not just Tanya’s feet that are long however – Tanya stands at 6 ft 9 in tall (2.06 metres). That’s only three inches shorter than the tallest woman living, Türkiye’s Rumeysa Gelgi, who is 7 ft 0.7 in tall. As you can imagine, shopping for shoes has always been a struggle for Tanya. “Growing up, I was always the tallest around. My mum was 6 ft 5 in and my dad is 6 ft 4 in, so I had no choice but to be tall,” Tanya said. Luckily, she always felt confident in her height.

Cup Day fundraiser at Horizons Village

HORIZONS Village held a fundraising Lunch and Fashion Parade on the day of the Melbourne Cup.

On the day, 105 guests enjoyed a delicious meal together and, in the process, raised money for local charity Pink Angels.

The delightful models, wearing fashions from Blue Illusion, were accompanied

by four handsome and colourfully attired jockeys.

All the models and their jockey partners are residents at Horizons Village, and everyone was very happy that we were able to donate $2000 to Pink Angels.

Mary’s 2000th

LAST week, Dubbo Photo News featured the inspiring St Mary’s Villa resident, Mary “Francie” Hobson who has used her talents for knitting to create 2000 squares for others to stitch together and make blankets for the needy.

She is supported by a craft group which regularly meets at St Brigid’s Church and have put the blankets together which are sent to countries in crisis such as Papua New Guinea, Afghanistan, Cambodia, East Timor, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Syria, Thailand, Tonga and Ukraine.

Francie is seen here gifting St Brigid’s craft group member Bernadette Donahue the last bag of knitting which saw Francie reach her goal of 2000 squares.

Health by stealth

By JOHN RYAN

Leisc put in plenty of behind the scenes work to help organise Dubbo’s Living Well Expo, held on November 9, in his role as the Australian Mens’ Shed Association events coordinator. He believes these collaborative events are the way of the future, gathering diverse service providers and support organisations together because there’s strength in numbers, and resources, in so many ways.

“Basically it’s on the premise of the six elements that make up your good mental health and wellbeing,” he said, “which is body, mind, spirit, people, place, planet.

it came to men’s mental health –now, he says, most people just ‘get it’, that it’s not just about going to work on a community carpentry project with a few other blokes, it’s about social interaction and awareness-raising.

He says once people see what’s happening with these collaborative style of gatherings, he believes events such as this will become not only the norm, but actually expected by the community.

“We think so, and we hope so. We try to come to regional centres and put things on like this and encourage the community to support it and make it a regular thing.

Potholed rural roads get $15m

ROADS around the Dubbo area might be repaired quicker as the NSW Government will fast track the $15 million emergency funding to restore the flood-impacted roads.

Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the funding would allow eight affected councils to start repairing critical infrastructure and support future recovery works.

“Restoring road access as quickly as possible is critical to ensure the supplies, support and equipment needed to recover from this disaster can get where it’s needed,” Mr Poole said.

“With harvest underway, we also need to ensure roads are up to the task of carrying the additional truck and heavy machinery to get this crop off and to receival sites.

“This cash is being directed straight to councils which, with their detailed knowledge of their local region and roads, are best placed to identify those critical priority areas.”

The councils to receive the fasttracked funding are Cabonne Council, Forbes Shire Council, Lachlan Shire Council, Moree Plains Shire Council, Narrabri Shire Council, Parkes Shire Council and Walgett Shire Council.

“You can look at yourself and say ‘do I tick all those boxes’ and we know that simply by attending a Men’s Shed, you are ticking all those boxes. But for others, they may think, ‘Yes, I do ‘body’ by exercising, but I don’t do much with my mind, maybe I’ll join the local library and their brain training group and do some crossword puzzles.’

“So all the services are here and people can just talk one-on-one to all the people (at the various stands) and find out how to maybe do something to improve their mental health, where they might be lacking.”

When Men’s Sheds started out, Marty said many people didn’t understand the holistic role they played in the community when

“Ten years ago, no-one knew what a Men’s Shed was, now, they’re often becoming the epicentre of communities and they’re creating all these feelings of goodwill and filling a lot of gaps that existed in communities.”

We had to speak loudly to conduct this interview, there was such a buzz of animated conversations coming at us from all sides, and Marty said that – exactly that – is what the Expo and the Men’s Sheds themselves are all about.

“Sometimes you have to just initiate the conversation and it can open the floodgates and that’s a good thing about Men’s Sheds. They provide the comfortable environment where the men feel like they can open up about things.

“We can then slip them the message – we call it ‘health by

will pick it up and talk about it. They’ll be happy to talk about it with each other, and then they’re happy to talk to other members of the community. So that’s why the Dubbo blokes were so eager to put this event on, because they know first-hand the benefits.

“Dubbo’s been a fantastic regional centre for this sort of thing, I absolutely love the com-

munity engagement in this town,

“I’ve found a lot of organisations where single individuals have identified a need and they’ve just said, if not me, who, if not now, when, and they’ve set up organisations like Bruno (Efoti) with Tradies In Sight.

“It’s just amazing and I love that – you probably don’t get that as much in the city as you do out here.”

Country Women lead the way

By JOHN RYAN

BARBARA O’Brien is always keen to talk about what the Country Women’s Association can offer local residents and she’s a font of wisdom when it comes to the role the CWA has played for the past 100 years.

She laughed when Dubbo Photo News suggested the CWA ladies knew all there was to know about networking, having been doing just that for the past century.

She thought it was fantastic to see so many community services and organisations

collaborating at the Living Well Expo held in Dubbo earlier this month, and was anxious to see how they can assist other groups for the good of the community.

“It’s fantastic to be able to walk around and see so many tables from different organisations and have a chat to the people that are running them. It makes it very friendly and it’s put a face to the organisation,” Mrs O’Brien said.

“I think it’s wonderful because cross-pollination never hurts anything, and we can all get ideas from other people.”

Flash flooding crushes car

By TIJANA BIRDJAN

WHEN Photo News photographer and Wellington resident Colin Rouse took his two dogs for a walk at Pioneer Park on Monday, November 14, a flash flood swept his car away in three minutes – an indication of the ferocity of the floodwaters that swept through the area.

The devastating floods along the Bell River carried his car downstream where it was buried by rocks, mud and sand.

Mr Rouse is still in disbelief about what happened in just a few minutes, after he parked his car to go for his regular exercise walk.

“I took my dogs to the park and walked roughly 120 yards, turned around, and saw a lot of water coming towards me,” Mr Rouse told Dubbo Photo News

“Within a minute the water was up to the windows of my car, then the car floated backwards into the river.”

Mr Rouse said a few members from the community

found his car on Saturday.

He is currently driving a hire car.

“The dogs are okay, they were shoulder deep in the water by the time we got to dry land,” he said.

“I’m not an idiot but this all happened within a matter of minutes.

“I’ve learnt my lesson to stay away from flood water, but I can’t stress enough how quickly it happened.

“It was like a wave coming down where the Bell River

acres of nearby land.

“I’ve seen a couple houses inundated with big mountains of stuff in front of the properties,” he said.

“This is the eighth flood this year and has been our biggest so far.

“The showground was under water – it looked like an island.”

THE grass is long, but the entry list was longer still!

More than 500 DubboPhotoNewsreaders took the time to mail or drop in their entries into the competition for a Honda mower valued at almost a thousand dollars from Dubbo Mowers and Chainsaws.

Belinda Bourke was the lucky winner, pictured here with Julie and David Brett when she took delivery of the shiny new mower.

To enter the competition, readers were asked to fill in the answer to a question: “I’d rather be – – – – – than mowing my lawn”.

Some of the answers included “walking my dogs”, “relaxing in my hammock”, “on a cruise”, “sleeping”, and “drinking”.

One clever lady told us she’d rather be watching her husband mow the lawn!

More than one entrant said they’d “rather be reading Dubbo Photo News” than mowing their lawns, an answer the crew here found to be an accurate assessment of the situation.

Competition winner Belinda Bourke was delighted to be presented her new mower by Dubbo Mowers and Chainsaws’ Julie and David Brett.

A festival of motors in 2023

By JOHN RYAN

The first annual Dubbo MotorFest has been set down for September 2 next year and already excitement is building, not just amongst the car, truck and motorbike enthusiasts in Dubbo, but from far afield.

Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee is one of the city’s most popular regular events, with thousands of people attending the gathering of motor vehicles on the first Sunday of every month.

The committee organising Motorfest chose that event as the location for a ‘soft launch’ of Motorfest and visitors on the day were marking September 2 on their calendars as one not to miss.

Dubbo Photo News spoke to Nick Pahlow about what Motorfest will look like. He revealed how the organisers plan to showcase a range of unique motor vehicles and bikes at the Dubbo Showground, as well as host a swap meet and entertainment through the day.

•••

Tell us about Motorfest, what’s it going to look like?

Dubbo MotorFest, presented by Dubbo Motorcyclist and Drivers Club (Dubbo MAD Club), will be for all motor vehicle enthusiasts and not limited to historic or vin tage vehicles. Any vehicle of interest or significance will be welcomed, and invites will be sent to enthusiast clubs from many areas.

Dubbo Motorfest has the potential to attract in excess of 1000 vehicles to the event, which in turn will attract an estimated 5000 people through the gates. Where did the idea come from?

It is an idea that has been rolling around in the back of my head for many years.

Other regions have annual events such as Parkes (Elvis Festival), Tullamore (ABBA Festival), Tamworth (Coun try Music Festival), and yet Dubbo has no annual event that is on everyone’s calendar each year.

The Dubbo region has a very strong and committed car scene, as is evident through the large attendance at

Classic Cars and Coffee each month. Cars and Coffee at tracts not only local enthusiasts but also enthusiasts from near and far including clubs in surrounding towns.

The success of the Dubbo Motorbike Rally has also pro vided myself and the committee with confidence that an event of such scale is achiev able and will be successful.

Dubbo has been chosen by many enthusiasts’ car clubs over recent years because of its central location and abun dance of facilities. Various National Make/Model Clubs (have chosen to meet in Dub bo) such as the Toyota Club, Mercedes Club, Volkswagen Club, Model T Club, Buick Club, and the Torana Club. These clubs along with indi viduals will be encouraged to attend and be a part of what will hopefully become a recur ring successful event.

Who’s involved in the organisation of the event? There are a number of people on the organising committee, three of which are original founding members of Dubbo MAD Club. We also have invited people specific to a

particular area of planning, such as judging, catering and sponsorship, to name a few. How important is Dubbo’s central location for such an event?

Dubbo City has excellent facilities to house a large MotorFest event and the large volume of motel and other accommodation will allow for a large influx of out-of-town people that share the interest of vehicles.

The central location of our town and the relatively easy trip from within NSW and interstate regions will also benefit the event’s success.

THE THUMBS

Thumbs Up to paramedics Dan and Kara, Ashcroft’s IGA team members and the many people who came to my mother’s aid when she took a fall near IGA. Thank you also to the caring staff at the Dubbo Base Hospital emergency department who provided an amazing level of care.

Thumbs Down to the people who broke into my car and stole my tools and stole the blue box of tools from my yard. Please just bring them back. I need them to maintain my car which I need running, to get me to my cancer and diabetes appointments.

Thumbs Up to Jetstar and Qantas staff for their courtesy and care when assisting me and other passengers with disabilities. It was very much appreciated.

Thumbs Up to builders who don’t use ‘wheat bic wood’ around architraves and as skirting boards. It puff s up when it gets damp. We need real wood.

Thumbs Up to the bike shop on the corner of Wingewarra and Darling Street. Their service and pricing are magnificent. I highly recommend them to everyone who has a bicycle.

Thumbs Up to the beautiful people who stopped their cars after I had an accident getting out of my car and falling. A lady and two men helped pick me up.

Thumbs Up to Itty Bitty Beauty and Spa for pampering five ladies on Saturday afternoon.

Thumbs Up to Kris at Battery World. Started with a happy and great attitude as I walked in the door. He explained in detail how I should look after my deep cycle battery and even off to carry it out for me. His manager should be proud of his professionalism and can-do attitude. I’ll be back.

Thumbs Up to the fl Talbragar Street. Picked up a gorgeous bunch of flowers late on a Friday afternoon. So friendly and helpful. Amazing customer service.

Thumbs Up to the paramedics, emergency department, and all medical staff at Dubbo Base Hospital for their professionalism, kindness, consideration, and understanding in caring for our dear mother.

Thumbs Down to my recent experience going through security at Dubbo Airport. I’m 81 years old and was given a full body scan in full view of everyone, without warning or explanation. My bags were checked twice – why? – and I was so upset at one point I could not even undo a zip on one of them. Noone deserves this. A terrible experience.

FOLLOWING a two-year break and more delays due to inclement weather, we finally held our 2022 Welcome to Baby Celebration last Thursday at the Buninyong School as Community Centre.

Twenty families and their under three-year-olds gathered to receive a traditional Aboriginal Welcome to Country given by Sandra Riley followed by a

Each family made a promise to their little one and these promises were ceremonially planted underneath a native mint bush here at the centre.

Each child received a variety of tokens to commemorate the day including the locally written and illustrated “Welcome to Baby” book and a small bush to plant in their garden.

The Department of Aboriginal Affairs partially funded the event and special thanks must also go to LiveBetter for their generous contribution, as well as Wilay Cafe for providing their coffee van, and Mission Australia staff for acting as photographers for the day.

All the families were delighted with the day which, along with prefect weather and some amazing catering from the Buninyong Canteen, was voted a great success and well worth the wait!

Kitty the comedy star shines at theatrel

IT wasn’t a laugh a minute, the smiles and guffaws coming at a far more rapid rate when one of the nation’s most celebrated comedians, Kitty Flanagan, laid her audience in the aisles at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre.

DRTCC manager Linda Christof told Dubbo Photo News that she did a patron report out of interest and was

amazed that people came from as far afield as Nyngan, Cromer, Cobar, Narromine, Gilgandra, Parkes, Warren, Balnarring in Victoria, Blacktown, Orange, Forbes, Tallawang, Girilambone, Blayney, Coonabarabran, Grenfell and Kingswood to attend the two shows.

All this during unprecedented blockages of roads due to flooding.

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.

SUDOKU EXTRA

MAZETOON

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

If you’ve ever worried ab out damaging your mobile phone by accidentally sitting on it, you’ll be glad to know that Samsung built a robotic posterior to test the durability of its smartphones. It can repeatedly exert up to 100kg of pressure to simulate the act of a human sitting on their device.

More than 200 artificial languages have been created for use in books, TV and movies.

NASA astronaut Leland Melvin sneaked his two rescue dogs, Jake and Scout, into Houston’s Johnson Space Centre for his official – and unique – photoshoot.

In 2013, developers of a

skyscraper in London, nicknamed the “Walkie-Talkie” due to its shape, realised that some design changes were seriously and immediately in order. The building reflected the sun onto the street below for two hours a day, with a beam so hot it melted parts of a Jaguar XJ parked nearby.

Some beaches on the Japanese islands of Taketomi, Hatoma and Iriomote have star-shaped sand.

Since the summer of 2020, so many orca whales have launched attacks on boats off the coast of Spain and Portugal that sailors have been advised to stay in port at night.

Actor Mike Meyers originally gave the character

of Shrek a thick Canadian accent but decided, after animation had begun, that a Scottish one would better suit the character. The film had to be re-animated and cost over $4 million, or around 10 per cent of its overall budget.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

Measurement marks come standard on most baby bottles, but they can be hard to see. You can use a permanent marker to make the lines bigger, especially the one you are most likely to want to see in the middle of the night! – R.G.

Before you set your new can of shaving cream on the sink edge, take this

man tip from me: Borrow a bottle of clear nail polish and paint the bottom rim, extending up a quarter of an inch, or 6mm. It won’t leave rust rings. Been doing this for years. – M.W. Cut the top off of a soft drink two-litre plastic bottle to use as a funnel. They are very easy to cut and you have a funnel whenever you need one!

Save and clean your prescription bottles; they make a really great container for bobbins. I take a spare piece of thread, ball it up a bit and tape it to the top of the container, too. Then I sit them all in a shoe box. I can see just from the tops which colour I need to use. (Always label them clearly so you and others

know what’s inside.) – L.K. This tip comes from a reader who lives in snowy country, but could also be adapted to warmer climates with a little imagination. If you use condiment bottles with a squeeze top, start saving them! Clean and fill with water, then add a few drops of food colouring. Make several of different colours. You can teach the children how to make different shades by mixing the drops. The kids can take them all out in the snow to “paint”. Be sure to take photos of your temporary art.

Use a piece of plastic m esh as a sink liner. Dishes set in the sink won’t slide, but the water can still drip away down the drain.

Young Raiders fan smashes cancer

By GEOFF MANN

COOPER Wynne and his family from Nyngan are singing the praises of neurosurgeons, cancer specialists and the Men of League Foundation after a double dose of good news.

The 14-year-old junior Tiger injured a rib in the last match of the season but brushed it off as part of the game. When he was still in pain three weeks later a visit to the doctor revealed several broken ribs. When he fell soon after and hit his head, his parents were devastated.

“Coop was paralysed so rushed into Dubbo Hospital and airlifted to Westmead for specialist treatment and emergency surgery,” dad John told an empathetic audience at the Men of League Jim Lang Memorial Golf Day on November 11.

The hopeful future Canberra Raider was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma.

“It was affecting his bones and scans revealed a massive tumour wrapped around his spine. Coop had four ribs removed with synthetic replacements and surgeons removed

the entire tumour on his spine. He now has four new discs!”

The good news conveyed by John is that Cooper will be home for Christmas, doctors have given a 99.98 per cent clearance and the family can rest easier after more than $16,000 was raised by the Men of League.

Coop was given a boost while he was in Westmead when his favourite player, Chanze Nicoll-Klokstad, and some of his teammates invited him to join them at a match and festooned his body and his chair in lime green.

Sundee Morning Bowls: Scone bowlers at Sporties

Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’

SCONE Bowling Club sent a squad of 30 to Dubbo last weekend to experience the richness of leisure in our city.

After warming up against Dubbo City bowlers on the Saturday afternoon, the Scone bowlers emerged Sundee morning to roll off with our RSL Combos.

Mary Perry, Allan Stratford and W. Hartley (Scone) played Ron McCauley, M. Batirns (Scone) and Col Dover. There was only one shot between them after eight ends however Mary and her partners opened up a five-shot buffer, had Ron and co pulled four back before scooting home by 11 shots.

T. Watters (Scone), Roger Sherwin and Paul Goodstat applied the pressure on Helene Emblen, P. Boyle (Scone) and R. O’Loughlin (Scone) right from the start. They converted a two-shot lead at the halfway, putting in a triple and a four and a couple of singles to win

the game by seven shots.

W. Huggins, Gary Huggins and Phil Knight struggled through the first eight ends before putting the wind up S. Huggins, Bryan O’Sullivan and Gordon Scott in the second. Sully’s team added a couple of triples in their 11 to clinch an exciting win 16-15.

Mike Twohill led his side J. Day (Scone) and Pete Bennison through a tight but hard-fought encounter with J. Grahame (Scone), Frank Armstrong and A. Dunn (Scone). He was a happy man after two sets of eight gave his team a 16-8 victory.

It was a “go” to “woe” for L. Dunn (Scone), Steve Kelly and Eric Satchell who ended their first 8 ends strongly, well in command and on the way to possible success over Sue Armstrong, Rob Pfeiffer and T. Rein (Scone). Their six shot “go” became a “woe” when the Rein’s mob tallied up shots on nearly every end. It was highlighted by a five-shot haul on the 14th

to seal the comeback.

Chris Castlehouse, A. McNaulton (Scone) and Mick Strawhan thought their game might have been over at half time. M. Boyle (Scone), Mel Giddings and R. Ham (Scone) were at ease during their first eight with a couple of triples, a double and a big five on the eighth which had them feeling very comfortable. But they did not envisage their opponents' fightback that produced three triples, a double and their own big five on end 14 to square the game. Chris’s team added one on 15; Mel and co, a double on the last for a remarkable one shot win.

Pat Sherwin, J. Humphries (Scone) and John Cole might have thought they could do well against M. Bond (Scone), John McKenzie and P. Bond (Scone), but they did not take into account the determination of the opponents. John’s team did quite well, scoring on five of the first eight

but their opponents were better with a quad, a triple and a double to lead 11-8 at the turnaround.

Team Bond took over the second eight although John Cole’s side tried hard, scoring a four and a couple of triples, but falling short of the target. John Mac and co won by four.

It is said ‘a close game is a good game’, so was the case when Sue McCauley, Ruby Stockings and D. McLoughlin (Scone) took on W. McKenzie (Scone), T. Stafford (Scone) and Col Cottee in what lived up to the old saying, “a close game is a good game”. Col and his Scone-ites led by 8-5 after eight but then the scoring dried up. Sue and partners kept ticking over singles before Col and co added five with three to go and held on to win by a solitary shot.

Seems to be a common result for the first 8 ends, one team doing a bit better than the other, and a close margin before the game opens up into the more serious

stuff called winning.

Leo Balstad, D. Pund (Scone) and Billy Staples continued the “two halves theme”, trailing D. Hoxley, I. Flynn (Scone) and Chris Crisante by three – and then 10 –but added seven on the last four... but still lost by eight!

Good bowling by P. Moore (Scone), and Doc Livingston made it easy for Col Hume to skip; Ken Whittaker, L. Croft (Scone) and Pete Ruzans had no answers. They mounted pressure early and sustained it for a win by 12 shots.

D. Hattley (Scone) with Al Andriske paired up against Ron Millgate and Ray Strawhan. Yet again, the side that were behind at the eighth came through to be the winners with Al’s side closing out the fifth one shot win on the day.

It was a pleasure to have Scone at our Sundee Bowls, both camps enjoyed the bowls and the meet and greet ambience Sundee Bowls is all about.

Dubbo Clubs host State Pennants Finals

GUYRA in the Northern Tablelands is the 2022/23 Bowls NSW Men’s Grade 3 Pennant Champions following a hard-earned, yet comprehensive win over Taren Point.

In the final played in blustery weather conditions at Club Dubbo last Sunday afternoon, the northern highlands mountain men scored a 71 to 35 victory. The win was even more meritorious given it was played in a strong cross wind, which challenged even the most skilled players.

Friday’s and Saturday’s sectional play matches were split between Club Dubbo and Dubbo Mac-

quarie. Teams from Gresford (Upper Hunter), Harbord (northern suburbs), Bulahdelah, Grenfell, Tea Gardens, Camden, Sawtell, Gwandalen (Lake Macquarie), Camden, St John’s Park, South Tweed Sports, Warilla, Wenty Leagues and Tomakin and Harden vied for positions in Sunday’s final.

In a unique situation, the three unbeaten sectional qualifiers, Sawtell, Gresford and Grenfell, all bowed out in the quarter-finals!

Bowls NSW representative Matt Goodwin and Zone 4 treasurer Steve Torrens were glowing in their congratulations to both Club Dubbo and Dubbo Macquarie, paying tribute to the professional manner in which the event was

run. All players, officials and spectators were well looked after, and the staff and volunteers of both clubs were congratulated in their preparation and presentation of the greens.

One player who enjoyed catching up with old mates was Col Mullen who had rolled up on all clubs over his many years in the city with wife Narelle.

Tie Dye for kids

INSPIRATIONAL 16-yearold cancer survivor Molly Croft and her NSW Giants and Australian Diamond’s Netball friend Amy Parmenter led a unique fundraising effort at Wongarbon last weekend.

When the then 12-yearold was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, Molly vowed to fight the illness and find rainbows in every day.

She found a soulmate in Amy who was visiting Westmead Hospital.

“We just clicked,” Mol-

ly smiled.

After many catch-ups we decided to expand Amy and her siblings’ Tie Dye project to finance much-needed research.

The result – Amy and nine of her Giants along with 10 Sydney Swifts and two Melbourne Vixens camped at Billy O’ Bush in Wongarbon. They splashed tie dye on white shirts, socks and “budgies” aiming to raise $100,000.

At the time of writing the target is within reach after sales “took off” immediately.

CHICKA Outten earned his reputation with Balmain Tigers, combining in the halves with former Great Britain half Dave Bolton to win the greatest upset NSWRL Grand Final at the SCG.

Outten matched it against the best players in the world in his long career with the Tigers and North Sydney Bears before heading to the bush.

He coached CYMS in 1976 and ‘77, taking the reins from former Canterbury Bulldogs captain John McDonnell. They were big shoes to fill, especially after the premiers lost Col Parkes, Steve Merritt and David “Narna” Grant.

Western Division stars Peter Walkom, Peter Frew and Brian Wilson remained, but they faced the emerging Macquarie Blues under Noel Sing and Bob Weir and the tough Narromine Jets, and were unable to repeat the success of McDonnell despite securing some impressive victories.

Outten was popular within the club and, despite being in the final stages of his career, was regarded so highly that he was named in the CYMS team of the century.

Mixed blessings for some Ducks

By GEOFF MANN

EIGHTEEN swimmers answered the handicappers on Sunday however some overheated and earned the wrath of Dubbo Veterans judges.

Taylor Darlington returned with an extra spring in her feet. She touched first in the final of the 25 metres Freestyle but beat the clock and, along with Margaret Ross, was wiped out. Lani Uebergang was more than happy to get the win!

Marg then backed up with her partner Mia Uebergang to touch first in the final of the 2x50m Breaststroke/Breaststroke brace relay, but put in a little bit too much effort trying to fend off Mark Prentice and Roger Mackay. The blokes also broke allowing Peter Allan and Taylor Darlington to steal the points.

Mia’s good form continued when she touched first in the final of the 25m Backstroke, however she was again too fast and handed the win to Rob Dickerson.

Jacob Pearce took out the closest to time 75 metre Freestyle on 1.40 off his time from Norm Bahr (1.69).

This Sunday the Ducks begin their swims for the much sought-after Christmas hams. To be eligible members are reminded that they need to have had eight swims for the year.

Abbie and Sophie set Meet records

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 greens, playing many memorable championship and Pennant matches. He was always competitive, up for a post-match summary and didn’t mind a social drink.

All bowlers from Dubbo and surrounds are expected to roll up to say farewell to old mates and spend time reminiscing with the families of Dave and John.
