“NIP” CLIFFORD

and the forgotten heroes that served their country By DAVID DIXON

“We will remember them” is the eternal promise that we make to those who risked their lives for their country; and it’s a pledge that Patrick Bourke has kept. The local researcher recently battled through the seemingly opaque War Graves bureaucracy to ensure that one forgotten Digger received the recognition that was his due. “Two years ago, I discovered that a World War I veteran William Francis “Nip” Clifford was buried in an unmarked grave in the Old Dubbo Cemetery in 1942,” Patrick explained. “As nothing was being done to commemorate the service of this long-forgotten veteran, I decided to undertake a project, by lodging a war grave claim with the Commonwealth Department of Veterans’ Affairs in Sydney,” he said. Like many battle-scarred survivors of the horrors of the Western Front, Nip Clifford again signed-up to serve in World War II, dying in the darkest days of this conflict. To receive his recognition, Patrick had to show that Clifford’s early death, aged only 50, was related to his service in two World Wars, following the tragic passing of his brother in France. “I could see from his World War II service records that William Clifford had a significant problem with alcohol; his war death claim was granted on the basis that his early death was related to his alcohol abuse. “Which was probably caused or aggravated by the trauma he experienced when fighting on the Western Front during World War I; very likely he was fighting with his brother, Terence, when Terence was killed in action on the Western Front.” Proving this claim, however, was just the start of Patrick’s

journey. “After a long delay, due to the lack of staff who were allocated to process these compensation claims in DVA, my application was finalised. “I was able to successfully prove that William Francis Clifford’s early death in Dubbo in 1942 was war-related; hence, he

was eligible for a war grave in the Old Dubbo Cemetery, which would be provided free-of-cost by the Office of Australian War Graves.” Patrick revealed, though, that this approval did not guarantee that Clifford’s final resting place would get official recognition. “The grave records held by the

Dubbo Regional Council, were unable to give the exact location of William Clifford’s burial site in the Old Dubbo Cemetery, so it was not possible for the Office of Australian War Graves to provide William Clifford with a war grave in the cemetery,” he explained. “The Office of Australian War Graves has, however, provided a

commemorative plaque for William Francis Clifford, in the NSW Garden of Remembrance in Sydney.” Although Patrick doesn’t have a picture of “Nip” Clifford, he did find a fascinating drawing of him among a group of delegates at the 1936 RSL State Conference in Sydney from the popular Smith’s Weekly magazine of October 3, 1936. “The World War I and World War II records have been digitised for William Francis Clifford and are now in the National Archive of Australia website,” Patrick said proudly. “The project to obtain a commemoration for this Australian war veteran, was a long but satisfactory one,” he said. This is not the only important local historical work that Patrick is carryingout, recently revealing some fascinating facts about a number of Dubbo-enlisted airmen. “I have been researching the Dubbo High School ex-students who did their early RAAF World War II pilot training at Narromine during the war. “Last month, the Memorial Wall at the Narromine Aviation Museum, commemorating the 2850 RAAF airmen who did their pilot training at Narromine, was unveiled by Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston,” Patrick said. His results found that local young men played a prominent part in the battle of the air that helped the Allies win the war. “From what I have found, 19 Dubbo High School ex-students did their early RAAF World War II pilot training at Narromine. “One ex-student received a Victoria Cross, and five ex-students received a Distinguished Flying Cross, sadly, 10 of these ex-students were killed during the war.”

By DAVID DIXON

here’s not much of the world that local Bill Stanford and his wayfaring wife Janice haven’t seen or done. Bill and Janice’s myriad adventures have included dozens of overseas odysseys over half a century, exploring the seven seas and our varied continents. For those who like to remain close to home, you can also experience his travels, and much more, at the unique seniors’ college U3A (University of the Third Age), which is having a special open day on Monday, January 29, for those looking to keep learning, as they grow.

With dozens of different courses being offered for term one, 2024, Bill is again presenting one of the most popular of subjects, based on his decades of adventuring around the world. ‘’I conduct what’s called ‘Armchair Travel’,” Bill explained. “I talk about my experiences of travelling through various countries and provide photos,’’ he added. Bill’s also an inveterate happy-snapper, and we’re proud to display a handful of his 20,000 or so images, here for the delight of our Dubbo Photo News readers.

By DAVID DIXON

ith its fascinating Visitor Experience Centre at 21 Judy Jakins Drive, Dubbo, the Royal Flying Doctor Service is a quintessentially Outback amenity. Australia is almost unique amongst developed Western societies in that it has a hugely under-populated interior. This probably explains our very special and quintessential Australian medical provider, the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), the inspiration and life work of a Presbyterian missionary John Flynn. At the time of federation, fewer than 100,000 people lived in the Australian inland, an area the size of western Europe. Over every outback cattle station or Aboriginal mission hung the fear of injury or illness, with no chance of medical care within reach. One typical incident involved a young station worker with a ruptured spleen taken to the local bush hotel in north-west Queensland, the publican attempting to save his life by operating with a kitchen blade with instructions from a doctor on a two-way radio in Brisbane, hundreds of kilometres away. Always thinking of the needs of those in isolated communities, in September 1910, Flynn published The Bushman’s Companion, which was distributed free throughout

inland Australia. He then took up the opportunity to succeed EE Baldwin at the Smith of Dunesk Missioner at Beltana, a tiny settlement 500 kilometres north of Adelaide. He was ordained in Adelaide for this work in January, 1911. The missionaries visited the station properties in a wide radius of Beltana, and their practical and spiritual service was valued in the isolated localities. Flynn used it as an opportunity to look at the potential for something bigger. By 1912, after writing a report for his church superiors on the difficulties of ministering to such a widely-scattered population, Flynn was made the first superintendent of the Australian Inland Mission. Flynn’s vision was to establish a “Mantle of Safety” for the people of Outback Australia. As well as tending to spiritual matters, Flynn quickly established the need for medical care for residents of the vast Australian outback, and established a number of bush hospitals. By 1917, Flynn was already considering the possibility of new technology, such as radio and aircraft, to assist in providing a more useful acute medical service. This was at a time he received a letter from an Australian pilot serving in World War

I, Clifford Peel, who had heard of Flynn’s speculations and outlined the capabilities and costs of then-available planes. Lieutenant Clifford Peel, a young airman and war hero, suggested the use of aviation to bring medical help to the Outback. Peel had been a Victorian medical student and a keen reader of John Flynn’s Northern Territory and Central Australia – a Call to the Church which he regularly and repeatedly studied. Peel wrote an essay on the possibility of using planes as flying medical ambulances for Australians in isolated and remote locations. This material was published in the church’s magazine, with Flynn then turning his considerable fundraising talents to the task of establishing a flying medical service. Peel, tragically, died in France without ever knowing the role he played in establishing a service that would save thousands of lives in the Outback over future decades. The world’s first air ambulance and Australia’s inaugural flying doctor service was established in May, 1928, at Cloncurry in Queensland, from a transmitter located in the vestry of a church. The Qantas DH50 plane carrying Dr KH Vincent Welch, flew 32,000km and attended to 255 pa-

tients in the first year! The RFDS grew rapidly with bases in NSW, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia. Nowadays, it is still the only medical help available for a full twothirds of the continent and assists about 250,000 people per year, an average of one new patient every two minutes. Launching the flying doctor service was only one of Flynn’s roles, his duties were as much spiritual, as medical. As superintendent of the mission, he spent his entire working life driving around the backblocks and bush tracks of the inland, visiting homesteads and welfare centres. His aim was providing both physical healing and spiritual help for the people of the outback. This was achieved through establishment of not only the RFDS, but also a team of “patrol padres”, travelling clerics in the bush, proving an able administrator as well as visionary and compassionate men. The work of the Australian Inland Mission (AIM) is continued today through the Uniting Church of Australia’s Frontier Services and the Presbyterian Church of Australia’s Presbyterian Inland Mission. The RFDS still continues to deliver on Flynn’s vision of a “Mantle of Safety” to the people of Outback Australia.

Unite, create, build: local ideas to help shape unique Community Precinct idea

Improving our society, local not-for-profit, Eleven.R, is inviting local groups to have their say about what spaces and buildings their organisation can use at the proposed Dubbo Community Precinct. IMAGES: SUPPLIED

nterested in a new kind of industrial development, aimed at improving our community, not just generating profits? Then set-down the evening of Monday, February 5, for a very special event. Local not-for-profit, Eleven.R, is inviting local groups to have their say about what spaces and buildings their organisation needs in the proposed Dubbo Community Precinct planned for 45 hectares in east Dubbo. This unique concept is the inspiration of founder and local businessman, Steve Wilson, in recognising the support his family and business has received from local government, local community groups, and private enterprises over the past two decades. “The idea behind Eleven.R and the Dubbo Community Precinct, is to give back to the community that has helped us succeed,” Steve said. “This is an opportunity to work with the community and local businesses and organisations to create something

meaningful and impactful that will benefit Dubbo now and into the future,” he added. With 110-acres of green-fields’ space dedicated to his dream, he is certainly putting his money where his mouth is. “It is a bit of a concept to give back to the community with not just buildings, but open spaces as well. “I bought the land several years ago, and I’ve been hoping to do something like this for some time,” the head of local training provider, DTC explained. One of the major proposals put forward for the innovative initiative, is a facility currently lacking in the region that all of us can utilise, community development expert, Natalie Bramble explained. “One of the ideas, is to build a community centre for Dubbo, something that we don’t currently have locally,” Natalie said. “That’s what we’re learning, is that there are so many community services that don’t really have a space to operate,” she added.

With our current skills and worker shortage, training the next generation for the trades and occupations of the 21st century, is another idea. “There are a range of challenges in this field; employment providers need to train people, but they often find it hard to access suitable facilities for this. “But we’re just looking for ideas at this stage, being able to serve the needs for our multicultural society, traditional owners, not-for-profits, to invest in our future,” she enthused. Dubbo locals will have their first opportunity to share their ideas at the public meeting to be held on February 5, which will be only the start of the process. “Currently, the Dubbo Community Precinct is an idea. What it looks like, any services, facilities, and activities are completely open to discussion,” Natalie said. “Community, business, and other organisations are invited to join this discussion at a number of meetings and

round-tables,” The concept is a clean slate for those wishing to make our city a better society. “I was completely blown-away by Steven’s incredible generosity,” Natalie said. “His vision of a community-led and informed precinct; a community precinct that is so desperately needed; meets a number of pressing challenges that organisations are facing.” Anyone can attend this free event, she added. “The precinct is for everyone; start-up businesses, social enterprises, and creative people need spaces to use or build to meet their needs. “We have support groups and community services needing safe and culturally-appropriate spaces to deliver services to our community,” Natalie concluded. The community meeting will be on Monday, February 5, from 5.30pm at Dubbo RSL Club; to register, go to: bit.ly/DCPMeeting

AMINISITAI Wauca works for one of Australia’s largest, family-owned agribusinesses, renowned for its integrated processing and export of lamb and sheep meat products, based right here in Dubbo. It’s the first time the 27-year-old has worked outside his home country, Fiji, and so far, he’s spent three productive years at the plant, telling Dubbo Photo News, he “absolutely loves it”. “I always wanted to come overseas and it’s very different here, not like Fiji, but I love this place,” he explained. A resident of the Pacific Island nation’s capital, Suva, Aminisitai used to work as a security guard assigned to various locations including hospitals and banks, while also studying to prepare for work in the logging industry, but the day he got his certificate he was offered a position at Fletchers. “I thought, oh, I really want to go overseas, and though I found the first few weeks were a bit difficult because it wasn’t what I’d been study-

ing and I’d never used machines like these before, plus I had to leave behind my grandmother, because she brought me up, but I did training and worked hard and now I don’t want to go back!” he said. “Fletchers has been a great company to work for, and for me personally, I’ve found them very good at looking after their people, their rules are good and very strict on safety and there is a culture that everyone should respect each other, they treat us all the same. “Roger is a good man, and he talks to me every morning, when he visits every department. He comes to ask everyone if you like working here, making sure the supervisor is being nice to you and that workers are being good to you and if you have any problems, just tell him, he can fix it. “He’s done that every single day for the three years I’ve worked here, he’s a good person, and his daughter Melissa, and the supervisors, they’re all so friendly and kind,” Aminisitai said. That’s a good thing too, as Aminisitai’s wife also works at Fletchers in

the administration of the company which he says technically makes her his boss! “That’s not really good,” he joked. Assigned to the fellmongery, or skins section at Fletchers International Exports, Aminisitai fills a variety of roles within the department, and on the day of our interview was working in the wool testing area, where one step of an extensive process to clean and prepare skins for national distribution or global export takes place. “From the slaughter floor, the skins then come down to the fellmongery and we paint the skins in acid, and we have seven rooms where the skins are cooked for 24 hours and then a machine separates the skins from the wool before samples of the skin are sent for testing. “We also have a dryer which dries the wool, and a presser which bales the wool, and each Wednesday the bales are tested again before it can be cleared for export where it’s used to make products like paint rollers, clothes, that sort of thing,” Aminisitai said.

Dropping off your resume in person: a good or bad idea?

When executed thoughtfully, the personal approach of an in-person resume submission can set you apart in a competitive job market.

NAVIGATING the job market requires a strategic approach, and one question that often arises is whether to submit a resume in person or stick to digital applications. While the trend is increasingly digital, there can be merits to taking the personal touch in certain situations. Below we explore the benefits and potential pitfalls of hand-delivering your job application. Benefits of In-Person Applications An in-person resume submission can leave a lasting impression. It showcases your proactive nature and the extra effort you’re willing to put into securing the position. Personal interaction allows you to utilise non-verbal cues, like a firm handshake or direct eye contact, to convey confidence and professionalism. It also provides an opportunity to establish a rapport with potential

employers or staff. Also, visiting the workplace can give you a sense of the company’s atmosphere and culture, which can be invaluable in determining if it’s a good fit for you. Potential Pitfalls On the flip side, arriving unannounced can backfire if the hiring manager has a packed schedule or prefers digital applications. There’s a risk of being perceived as disregarding the company’s application processes or, worse, an interruption. Moreover, with many companies adopting online tracking systems for applications, a physical resume may not integrate smoothly into their workflow. Practical Advice If you opt for an in-person delivery, do your homework first. Research the company’s application guidelines and attempt to understand their cul-

ture. If possible, make a call to inquire whether they accept resumes in person. This can save you from the awkwardness of being turned away at the door. Ensure that your resume is pristine, error-free and well-presented. Include a tailored cover letter that demonstrates your knowledge of the company and explains why you are a strong fit for the role. When you arrive, be courteous and respect the time of the staff. If it’s clear they are busy, offer to leave your resume with a receptionist along with a brief note. To wrap up, dropping off your resume can be beneficial in certain industries, particularly where personal relationships and direct interaction are valued. However, it’s crucial to approach this strategy with sensitivity to the company’s culture and openness to digital protocols.

Six White Boomers, and national leader at District A50 Chrissie Meet THE Savannah Room at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo was the venue for District A50 Inner Wheel members’ and guests’ celebration of their Christmas Meeting and Luncheon. More than 70 members travelled from as far afield as Bathurst, Orange, Cowra, Lithgow, Oberon, and Blayney for the special event. Highlight of the day was a visit by the Inner Wheel Australia National President Susan Chisholm who travelled to Dubbo to cele-

brate with the members. President Susan spoke passionately of her journey with Inner Wheel, emphasising that members, nationally and internationally, are currently promoting the theme to “Shine a Light” in these troubled times. Inner Wheel is an international friendship and service organisation which made a generous donation to Dubbo Sing Out Choir, from this successful event. The Dubbo Club meets every third Tuesday evening.

Thumbs up to the person who found my wallet and handed it in at Riverdale Shopping Centre. Thumbs up to Danelle and Simone from Rex and Danny from Qantas at Dubbo Airport for going above and beyond (pardon the pun) in helping my partner and I out of an awkward situation we got ourselves into last week. The three of them combined as a team and worked out a solution to our problem. Nothing was too much trouble which made the whole experience enjoyable.

The Real Estate Chat with Karen Chant from Chant and Co

Getting Ready for the 2024 Real Estate Market As we usher in the New Year, the real estate market generally starts to gear up at the end of January. Whether you’re considering buying or selling a property, now is the time to lay the groundwork for a successful venture in the coming months. For potential sellers, January offers a prime opportunity to sit down with real estate agents and chart a course for the year ahead. Engaging in discussions about the current market trends, preparing the home for sale, and understanding the intricacies of the selling process, including timelines, can provide invaluable insights. Starting this dialogue early allows sellers to make informed decisions and position their properties optimally in a competitive market. Buyers, too, are encouraged to kick off the year with strategic planning. Meeting with bank lenders or mortgage brokers in January enables potential buyers to initiate the finance approval process. Understanding their budget empowers buyers to explore the market confidently, researching and inspecting properties that align with their financial parameters. The real estate journey is multifaceted, and careful preparation sets the stage for success. Whether you’re looking to sell or buy, taking proactive steps early ensures that you are well-equipped to navigate the market dynamics and make decisions that align with your goals. As the year unfolds, those who take these early measures will find themselves in a favourable position in the everevolving real estate landscape.

Luke builds colonialstyle house in Dubbo just like they used to

common refrain people often apply to question the quality of modern construction is: “Why don’t they make things like they used to?”. Local builder Luke Forrester, however, has done just that, creating a colonial-style house in the manner of early last century, with plans created by a local designer. “It’s the first time that we’ve done something like this, and we’re very excited about it,” Luke’s wife Anna, spokesperson for Luanna Homes, said proudly. “This has been a step-by-step approach that has required a lot of new skills, and reviving old ways of building,” she added. The owners of the new home are Daniel and Kate Stewart, with Dan found most shifts working hard saving lives as an emergency doctor at Dubbo Base Hospital’s Emergency Department. “We began engaging with Daniel and Kate Stewart regarding their new house at 15 Bishop Street – the new home faces Luke Street – from approximately June, 2022,” Anna said. “Amazing house plans were then drafted by local designer Laura Wannan from local firm WAD Design, with this home so well-suited to its south Dubbo position.” After taking time to get everything just right, final clean-up of the site should see hand-over anytime now. “It’s a small, heritage-style, colonial home which Luke and his team were so lucky to be part of. “We are currently at landscaping stage, and the cleaner will get into the home this week,” Anna said in December.

“Why don’t they make things like they used to?” Well, local builder Luke Forrester has done just that, creating a colonial-style house in the style of last century. IMAGE: SUPPLIED.

ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES VES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection

THOSE of us living in the rural landscape hear the challenges that farming people face. For ages it has been the influence of drought or flood, but an issue that the farmers has always faced has been the price of their produce. In recent times the saleyard prices have been chaotic with sheep and cattle prices going to the bottom. In the last decade in particular, there has been a clear change with the massive growth of a handful of king-sized businesses gradually increasing the extent of their trade and with it their growth in power. The media has revealed the prices large supermarkets pay farmers and vegetable growers and the price people pay for their groceries. As a bookseller with a single trading site, participating in that market for over forty years, one can see the trends of major traders impacting on their suppliers. In simple terms, the national major chains force their publishing suppliers to supply books at severely discounted pricing and do most of their stocking in new release titles. Publishers orchestrate higher prices to small traders and that helps to offset the publisher warehouses’ lost income. Cer-

The End of Money tainly this strategy applies across all trades and two major supermarkets have reported profits of over a billion dollars in the last year. Well respected economist Yanis Varoufakis has written “Techno Feudalism” in which he discusses the causes of “What Killed Capitalism.” During the recent years of the pandemic, the endless financial crisis and the rise of TikTok there has been a new and more exploitative system taking hold. Varoufakis takes a global look at the various examples of the growth of power including Australia’s part. He examines the role of Apple, Google, Amazon, Sony, and some of the key players such as Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Author Brad Stone has written “Amazon Unbound” and describes the expansion of that operation. It describes the processes by owner Jeff Bezos as he has grown that business since the late nineties. During the last ten years it has gone global, at the same time changing

distribution and warehouses resulting in hundreds of staff being dismissed. Author Stone shows the major changes that they have made with some dramatic innovations as some costly missteps. The effect of this widespread issue is the growth of power a handful of major businesses and banks have on the economy. And an example right now is the growing commentary that we could become a cashless society. David Wolman is the author of “The End of Money” in which he deals with the sharp trend to a cashless society. One key issue is the banking system’s Eftpos Terminals taking a percentage on every transaction. Hardly as day goes by that we don’t learn of some scam or inappropriate influence of money. A recent book is “Kleptopia by Tom Burgis which investigates how dirty money is conquering the world. The perpetrators are everywhere – the thieves and their people. Now we have detected their presence only by what they leave behind – a body in a burned out

Audi, workers riddled with bullets in the Kazakh desert, a rigged election on Zimbabwe, a British banker silenced for trying to expose the truth about the City of London. These people have amassed more cash that most countries, but what they are really stealing in power. The impact of the handful of giant commercial operators has a grown on communities. In a couple of decades some regional towns around Dubbo have declined in the number of commercial traders. Branches of banks have closed and the combination has seen populations forced to trade online or travel to regional towns such as Dubbo. At an international level, it is clear from the published incomes of the owners of major businesses being so wealthy and the net profits of Australia’s two major retailers being over one billion dollars last year, that people voting with their dollar are having more impact on society than their votes at the political voting booth.

X-Cellerate Netball expanding this year By GEOFF MANN B

In great news for local netball, Dubbo’s youngest club is expanding into 10 divisions this year. In an exciting development, X-Cellerate Netball, only starting with two teams in 2020, is now on track to have 10 groups playing at the Nita McGrath courts after Easter. The club aims to encourage players new to the sport and new to town, to get started and progress through the ages. Jason Chatfield is one of the club organisers, and is deservedly known for encouraging youngsters to lead healthy sporting lives, whether on the athletics track and field, or now through netball.

Dubbo regains the Western Dubbo’s Australia Day awards to Yes! Premier League cricket trophy… recognise our sporting excellence DUBBO’S Australia Day awards are anticipated keenly each year with the announcement of our outstanding Sportsperson, Junior Sportsperson, and Contribution to Sports Award winners. This year we are likely to again be amazed at the range of emerging champions in sports from athletics, basketball, cricket, the football codes, cycling, equestrian, and netball, amongst others having their claims assessed. In a town that has produced world and Australian stars like Bob Spiers, Megan Dunn, and Brent Dawson, Don Parish, Andrew Ryan, Dean Pay and

Isaah Yeo, Katrina Gibbs and cricketers Ian Drake and David Tink, is it any wonder the next crop will achieve any less. Coaches, managers, and journalists, have all contributed to keeping sport alive in our community, so the accolades for 2023/24 will be keenly observed. Sports fans of all persuasions should therefore get along to Victoria Park early tomorrow (Friday) for the celebrations. If you cannot make it down there, ensure you grab your Dubbo Photo News next week as we wrap-up the Sports and other Awards on the day.

Dubbo was made to fight hard by the visiting Parkes cricketers on Sunday before adding another Western Premier League Trophy to the cabinet. Batting first, the locals chalked-up a respectable 175 total in the face of a steady Parkes attack. Batter Ted Murray continued his excellent season with a top score of 63, while young all-rounders, Lachie Rummans and Paddy Nelson, both chipped in with 24 each. Parkes number five batter Harrison Bayliss then fought hard for an unbeaten 57, but the wiles of local spin-bowler, Rummans with 3/37, and experienced medium-pacer Ben Knaggs with 3/17, ensured a win for the Dubbo 11. At Gulgong, the Gilgandra Windmillers had an easy 10-wicket win to add the Western Zone Plate to their Country Small Towns trophy.

“Hot, hot, hot” for this brave band of brothers (and sisters) Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’ IT was a tough bunch of 42 members that bravely rocked-up for their Sundy social bowls last week with the thermometer running hot. In an early match, Mary Perry led Eric Satchell, and Col Cottee to a wonderful first eight ends, especially after chalking-up a four on the first. By the turnaround, they were keeping that lead over Gary Huggins, Allan Stratford, and Graham Ross. However, the tables turned as Gary, Al, and Graham dug deep, taking five of the ends, with threes, fours and a couple of twos, to clinch a two-shot victory. Leo Balstad, Frank Armstrong, and Gordon Scott battled hard to take a twoshot lead against Frank Bartlett, Ross Pharo, and Mike Twohill. As the temps rose, so did the intensity, but the firsthalf leaders clung on to win 14-12. Chris Castlehouse rolled very well, while Shirley Marchant and Pete Ruzans did their part on Rink Four. Di Hildebrant was a little off-target, forcing Steve Kelly and Paul Goodstat to work hard. After seven-all, Di and co. shot ahead with a three count on nine, followed by a five on 10, and the others just could not bridge the gap with 19-12 a pleasing result for Di, Paul, and Steve. Sue Armstrong, Chris Strojny, and Col Dover, also teamed-up well against Ros Joseph, Therese Gaio, and Bryan O’Sullivan opening an eight-shot lead before converting it into a 20-9 win that earned them third place for the morning. It’s a blow for any side when the op-

position side thunders in a five count or more. Suddenly plans go by the wayside, pressure builds, and the mindset changes. John Kennedy, John Cole, and Phil Knight struggled up to end seven, before delivering the quintuplet on the cusp of the turnaround. That gave them a twoshot lead over Helene Emblen, Gaye Cottee, and Anthony Coe. Helene’s team did pull one back one on the ninth, but again couldn’t contain J, J and Phil who quaddied the tenth and held strong for a 18-10 victory. Oh my! A six on the very first end dictated the outcome of the game on Rink Five. Ron Millgate, Ian Humphries, and Pete Sinclair, were in fine form extending to double-figures on the next. Sue

McCauley, Mel Giddings, and Tod O’Dea were wanting, needing to forget the first eight ends! Chasing a 14-shot deficit was always going to be tough, especially when Ron, Ian, and Pete kept toting-up shots. Their 25-7 final score, was enough for second place. 1 In the final match-up, it was tough for Ron McCauley, Ruby Stockings, and Karen Greenhalge who chased Paul Martin, Pete Bennison, and one Jordan Morrow, for the first eight ends. Jordan led from the front and his team was nine-up after eight. Ron, Ruby, and Karen were shell-shocked, winning just one end in each half to go down 19-3 to the Sundee morning winners on the day!

Dubbo honour as “parkrun” hits one millionth Aussie participant Saturday

This Saturday, January 27, Dubbo will have the shared honour of registering the one millionth person in Australia to take part in the social athletics event known as “parkrun”. IMAGE: PARKRUN DUBBO

This Saturday, January 27, Dubbo will have the shared honour of registering the one millionth person in Australia to take part in the social athletics event known as “parkrun”. With a total of 999,503 Aussies having participated in parkrun as walkers, runners, and volunteers since the first event launched in 2011, thousands of first-timers around the country will again take part for the first time this week. Parkruns are free community events on Saturday mornings, where people can walk or run a 5km course or help-out as a volunteer. The events are not competitive, and are open to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Dubbo parkrun is one of the 481 such events around Australia with the one this week to help push first-timers over the million mark. With that in mind, volunteer Event Director of Dubbo parkrun, Miriam Morris, said this Saturday is a great time to join-in at parkrun for the first-time. “We love to welcome first-timers to parkrun, and this weekend will be extra special, because somebody in Australia doing parkrun for the first time, will be the one millionth different person to take part in our events,” Miriam explained. “And the great thing about parkrun, is that you don’t need to run to take part – you can also participate by walking the course or volunteering,” she added. Dubbo parkrun starts at 8am and takes place at Sandy Beach. At 10 minutes before the event each week, a volunteer welcomes first-timers and introduces them to the event. “Parkrun is very inclusive because it’s free, it’s every Saturday, and there are lots of different ways to be involved. “We have families taking part together, friends walking and talking their way around the ‘five k’ course; parkrun is all about having fun and taking part in a way that’s comfortable for you", Miriam continued. People, she adds, can get involved as little or often as they like. “Some of our regulars take part most weeks, but the beauty of parkrun is that it doesn’t require any commitment,” Miriam explained. “You register once for free on the parkrun website, and then you can come along to any parkrun in the world on any Saturday morning if you feel like it.” The first Australian parkrun launched on the Gold Coast in 2011, with the simple concept spreading to a further 480 communities nationwide. Each parkrun takes place every Saturday morning year-round and is open to everyone, with a volunteer welcoming first-timers and introducing them to the event. Parkrun isn’t just for walkers, runners and volunteers either. People are welcome to watch the event and have a chat, and everyone is invited for coffee afterwards at the Def Chef cafe.

Dubbo Photo News January 25-31, 2024

Remembering JOHN COOK the “new Dubbonian” who called the Golden West home since 1966! T

he following is taken from a tribute to his father Johnny, by his son, Martin. ••• Johnny had been part of the sporting landscape since arriving in the town of Dubbo just a week ahead of our proclamation as a city on September 12, 1966. “Dad reckons he was the one who pushed Dubbo’s population over the required 15,000 for a city! Today, we’re celebrating a man who lived for family, friendships, football, guitars, greyhounds and good times. Happiness is what Dad strived for, and my five sisters, Mum and I, are all reassured that for 75 years, happiness is what he got. Dad and his twin brother David grew-up in Cootamundra, the youngest of 10 children. He was always relaying stories of the town where “the Don’” was born and the amazing rugby league teams that had played in Group 9 and in many famous battles for the Johnnie Walker Challenge Cup. Sadly, their beautiful mother, Evvy, died on the operating table when Dad and David were only seven. Reg was a railway worker and thought it best to send Dad and David to a boys home called St Laurences, Galong, run by the Sisters of Mercy nuns. Upon reflection, Dad’s childhood appeared quite tough – but talking to him, you wouldn’t know it. He was forever grateful for the love and care from his older siblings who helped Reg raise the twins. As his brothers and sisters will tell you, the adventures of Dad and Dave read like an action-adventure story book, but most importantly, it was always ‘happily ever after!’ Dad was a wonderful storyteller and as kids, bedtime would be all about tales of the mischief and adventures he and Dave, with supporting characters including their Cootamundra mates ‘Waterrock’ Ruskin, ‘Crime’ Sullivan, ‘Slimey’ Hay, ‘Pumpkin-head’ Crowe, ‘Tragedy’ Winters, ‘Ya-Ya’ Holder and his long time mates, Peter ‘Kirby’ Lawson, Raymond ‘Butch’ Chapman, Brian ‘Woolly’ Wilson and John ‘Youngen’ Kennedy. Dad often reminded me of his proudest high school moment, when shirtless, he’d jumped on the scales, fists-up saying ‘Cootamundra High School Heavyweight champion!” He and his mate, Butch, went to Coota High as the De La Salle school ended at sixth class. John headed to Sydney with Butch after school and they both joined the Public Service. He spent a few years in the city where he developed two of his lifelong loves – playing guitar and hanging-out for the Bears to win a premiership from North Sydney Oval. He moved to Dubbo to work as an administrative clerk at the Police Station, and it was through a roommate at the Police Boarding House, he met his future wife, Jan Musgrave. Dad always thanks

‘Flash’ Flanagan for telling him to go to the Catholic Youth Organisation (CYO), because there were ‘plenty of nice girls in the Children of Mary Society’. Martin says his Dad was trying to impress Jan’s father, Dubbo CYMS Club Secretary, Phonse Musgrave, and signed for the Greens in 1967. Around the same time, he met Pat Yeo, who worked for Telecom and maintained the police station phone lines and played on the wing for ‘The Fishies’. It didn’t take John long to fall in love with the Green and White of CYMS. Dad loved the mateship and good times that footy brought, especially Sunday nights at the Castlereagh, singing along with all his mates. In fact, he and Dave recorded a ‘one-hit wonder’ to the tune of 1960s hit ‘Mighty Quinn’. It is still brought out on occasions – ‘Come on without, Come on within, You ain’t seen nothin’ like the Mighty CYMS!’ Cooky started his career at fullback, but after he went blind, he moved to half-back before finishing in the forwards. He won a few comps in the reserve grade and enjoyed a couple games in first grade and, in 1973, coached the juniors to a premiership and on the same day he also picked up the reserve grade title, under Bryan O’Sullivan’s leadership. John and Jan married at St Brigid’s in 1970. He was proud of his association with Dubbo CYMS and also St Johns and the Dubbo and District Junior Rugby League Club, and was awarded Life Memberships at both St Johns and CYMS. In 1972, Mum and Dad brought my sister Ali into the world with

her stunning red hair, a trend that continued as Mum poppedout six red-heads including the second eldest Melissa, our sister Jane who sadly died after only five weeks, myself, Em, and Rach. In the mid-70s, Dad left the police station and bought himself a truck and a Quelch Orange Juice delivery run. When he sold Quelch in the early 80s, he bought a Small Goods run. He also dabbled in a few side gigs, selling everything from fibro walls to key rings and motel advertising at the airport. Then he changed direction and set-up business with Charlie Lyons and Tony Sheridan. He moved into his own Moneylink and studied a Diploma of Financial Planning with his brother-inlaw and CYMS teammate Peter Musgrave. They graduated in 1997. A few years later, Mum and Dad purchased their own business and traded as Garvan Financial Planning. Dad was a natural financial planner, with his clients reassured by his open and honest approach. But as good as Dad was, he would not have been anywhere near as successful without the encouragement from our Mum. I was privileged to be able to purchase the business from Mum and Dad and continue his legacy today… Cooky was always up for a party and a beer, and he was at his peak between 1990 and the mid 2000s, the era when the girls and I left school and moved to Sydney. Dad loved nothing more than a ‘work trip’ to have a night out with us. ‘Killing two birds with one

stone’ was one of Dad’s favourite sayings. He always tried to squeeze in as much as he could on a trip away. A great example of this was when I was playing footy in Penrith, Dad thought it was a good idea to nominate a dog named ‘Roman Fleet’ to race at Penrith Park. The players all thought it was hilarious having a greyhound in the aisle on the team bus! Greyhounds were a big part of his life. He was first introduced to ‘the Dogs’ at his sister Mary’s house in Moss Vale. Dad’s love for greyhounds was immediate! One of his favourite dogs was ‘Micro Dot’, owned by Mark Porter, Pat O’Dea, John Boman, and Dick Kelly. After one win, Mum caught Dad in the backyard doting the dog, calling her sweetheart and darling. Mum said, ‘why don’t you call me names like that?’ to which he replied, ‘When you win the big bucks I’ll call you whatever you like!’ It wasn’t just dogs that bought out Dad’s caring side, he was also very compassionate, always willing to help others in need. In the late eighties and early nineties, CYMS number one supporter was Danny O’Brien who lived in one of the Westhaven Group homes. Hearing that Danny had no family and nowhere to go for Christmas, Dad invited him to share Christmas with our family, a tradition that continued for seven years until Danny’s death. Dad often picked-up hitchhikers, and one day bought an English backpacker home and gave him a bed for the night. This became a bit of a theme for Dad, wherever he was around the world, he’d always give a business card and say, ‘if you’re ever

in Dubbo, I’ve always got a bed for you’. John developed dementia over the past 10 years or so, but his love for people and willingness to reach-out never faltered. Martin remembered one day at a St Mary’s school swimming carnival, when Cooky was having a chat with the his late, great Fishies friend, Mick Wilson. ‘At the time, Mick thought Dad’s memory loss wasn’t too bad. That was until Dad finished the conversation with his trademark, ‘If you’re ever in Dubbo, there’s always a bed for you.’ The tears immediately streamed down Mick’s cheeks. Our family would like to offer a big ‘thank-you’ to the O’Neill family and all those who allowed Dad to attend the annual fishing trips, I don’t think he ever threw a line in over the years, but three beautiful men who Dad played with coached and swapped many league tales with, Mick O’Neill, John Walkom, and Pat Yeo, ensured Dad could still go, even in his dementia years. For us kids, Dad was always there for the big moments in our lives. He made sure he dropped us off for big events – first day of school, a big exam, or a sports carnival – before we’d get out of the car, Dad would look across with a smile on his face and say his trademark line, ‘revere the moment’. Dad’s 19 beautiful Grandchildren have also been fortunate to share many great memories with their Pop. My sisters and I are so grateful for the lessons learned by our children as they lived Dad’s dementia journey. They have spent many hours caring for and looking after Pop and we trust the compassion and empathy they have learnt will stay with them throughout their lives. While we were all devastated with the diagnosis, on reflection, we also feel so blessed that the essence of Dad’s personality remained. He always greeted everyone with a smile, and still loved to be around people. We can’t speak highly enough for the care and love shown to dad by the Home Club, The Sing Out Choir and Bracken House. Mum, our angel, we are forever grateful for your commitment and devotion to Dad. She spent many hours over many years driving around town, entertaining Dad, especially during the COVID years. Ironically, the ‘all-night party animal’ suddenly became extremely anxious about staying out late. Mum spent half her life trying to get Dad home from the pub, and now all he wanted to do was go home! When Dad went into care, she visited daily. Mum, your patience and compassion is inspiring. Dad, may you discover new melodies, harmonies, and rhythms in the big band of the hereafter; and May you belt out the finest rendition of ‘Ghost Riders in the Sky’ that’ll shake the heavens. Rest in peace.

By DAVID DIXON TRADITIONAL kite-flying was the highlight of the inaugural celebration of the Hindu harvest festival, Makar Sankranti, by a new local subcontinent community group in Dubbo. The event – also known as “Kite Flying Day” and traditionally held on January 14 – was organised by the just-launched Orana Gujarati Samaj NSW (OGSNSW), that largely comprises locals of Indian origin. About 150 people from various towns including Dubbo, Parkes, Tomingley, Peak Hill, Molong, Gilgandra, and Nyngan flew kites on the day along with guests including State member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders; Dubbo Mayor, Councillor Matthew Dickerson; and Dubbo Councillor, Shibli Chowdhury. Makar Sankranti is a festival that signifies the sun’s transition into the zodiac sign of Capricorn, marking the end of winter and the beginning of longer days, OGSNSW President, Chet Vadhel explained. “it’s around the time of the spring season in the northern hemisphere after the sun has reached the northernmost point in the sky,” Mr Vadhel revealed. “The kite-flying is essentially a message to the Sun God, showing our gratitude for the warmth he provides for the coming growing

season upon which all life depends,” he added. In Gujarat, India, where the festival originated, it is celebrated with kite flying competitions, filling the sky with kites of various shapes, sizes, and colours. OGSNSW brough a touch of this enthusiasm to Orana by importing Indian kites from the renowned kite-flying haven of Khambhat in Gujarat, India. The OGSNSW event was not just about kite flying. Members of the Australian Kiteflyers Society were also present, showcasing their kite flying skills. The celebration was further marked by the preparation of traditional Gujarati delicacies like Undhiyu (Mixed vegetable curry), Puri (Indian traditional bread), and Jalebi (Indian Sweet), adding a taste of Indian culture to the Australian landscape. “We had a number of traditional Indian delicacies, breads, curries, sweets, to help celebrate the festival,” Mr Vadhel. “We’re newly-incorporated, we’ve only been going about a month, and this was our first event, so we were very happy with how it went,” he enthused. The festival also serves as an occasion for families to come together and communities to engage in cultural dances. Mr Vadhel praised the turnout for their first-ever occasion, indicating the community’s enthusiasm for such cultural celebrations.
