Commonwealth War Graves in the Old Dubbo Cemetery Latest in our series on the stoic service of Central West men and women during World War I and World War II, is this piece by well-known local military researcher, Patrick Bourke. The summarised essay details the lives and passing of those interred in the Commonwealth War Graves section of Old Dubbo Cemetery between 1914 and 1947, and whose deaths were directly or indirectly related to service for their country.
Lest We Forget… ••• THERE are 19 Commonwealth War Graves in the Old Dubbo Cemetery; comprising World War I Australian servicemen who died between 1914–1921, and World War II who died between 1939–1947. These 19 servicemen buried in the Old Dubbo Cemetery, died not directly from battle – until the Vietnam war, Australian servicemen who died in combat, were generally buried overseas – but from illnesses, accidents, or injuries, related to their war service. Most of them died in the Dubbo area, though a number did pass away in Sydney, and one in Victoria. At least five of the servicemen went to school in Dubbo. For the eight veterans without headstones, the Office of Australian War Graves provides a war grave headstone or a plaque to commemorate their service, and the other 11 have their service commemorated with a plaque in the NSW Garden of Remembrance at Rookwood in Sydney. The Office of Australian War

With various forms of dementia increasingly common in our ageing society, this fun outdoor event aims to raise awareness of a condition that nearly half a million Australians now live with… a number expected to almost double in the next 30 years. “I want to show the many people who w are living with dementia, or caring in for those living with dementia, that they the are not alone,” Bruce said.
“It is a condition that so many people suffer with in silence and that needs to stop,” he added. With hopes of about 100 attendees, more than 55 people have already signed up for this fun event in which participants can walk, jog, or run either 2.5km or 6km in distance – depending on their preference, health, and fitness. “If you’re thinking about signing up, please do!” Bruce enthused of the February 11 event. “Come along, meet new people, have a bit of fun and you may even learn something along the way.”
The fun run is Dementia Australia’s largest fundraiser and attracts thousands of people across Australia to help raise more than $2 million in support of people living with dementia. Funds raised at our upcoming event in Dubbo will help advance the work of Dementia Australia which delivers invaluable support, education and resources for people living with dementia, their families, and carers.

'Snowy Mountain Dawn' by Dubbo author Alissa Callen. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
V
ALENTINE’S DAY, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. But where did the day come from? It originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine. Through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. So, I thought I would ask some authors who write romance what they think about the day. Alissa Callen writes rural Australian romance. And this Valentine’s Day marks her 10th anniversary as a print-published author. She writes in a small office on her farm just outside Dubbo. Many threads of the Central West a woven into her books. She writes feel-good stories that explore such themes as home, belonging and second chances. Her latest book was released on January 31 and is called Snowy Mountain Dawn. Fellow author Joanne Austen Brown (JAB) asked her the following questions:
JAB: What kind of romance do you write? Alissa Callen (AC): My stories fall under the rural romance banner. The central relationship is accompanied by either a family secret, mystery or historical element. JAB: Have you included Valentine’s Day in any of your stories? AC: Not yet but I should as my books come out around early February. JAB: What do you think of Valentine’s Day, personally? AC: Many years ago, I was a Rotary exchange student to Colorado, USA, where I attended high school. On Valentine’s Day, it was a tradition for carnations to be delivered to students on behalf of other students. When I received a carnation, sent in friendship and as a welcome to the school, it marked the end of my home-sickness. So for me I always associate Valentine’s Day not so much with romance, but with kindness. JAB: And as for me, I write historical romance. I did not know St Valentine’s Day
went as far back as I does. I assumed it was a Victorian invention. Seems I was wrong. As I also write romance, I asked myself the same questions: What kind of romance do you write? JAB: Historical romance, with murder or mystery. I also do historical time-travel. They have lots of romance in them. Have you included Valentine’s Day in any of your stories? JAB: No. After researching for this article I now know that the customs go way back, and I might have to include it in a future story. What do you think of Valentine’s Day, personally? JAB: I think it can be over commercialised, but I love the idea of it. I always send my hubby a card, thanking him for his love and often get a gift or flowers in return. But we like to do these showings of love all year round, and not just on February 14. I guess that would be a hint for all of us. Valentine’s Day can be an expression of love to someone you love. It can be a
chance to show kindness to someone who might need it. Just remember it has been a big part of our society. Celebrate the day in your own way.

Can retirement villages boost your wellbeing in older age? This couple thinks so JULIE AND BRYAN had always enjoyed a fulfilling career in hospitality, managing motels and caravan parks around the country. They knew what made a place feel like home. So when they came across the newly developed Kintyre Living Retirement Village in their hometown of Dubbo in 2008, they knew they’d found something special. We sat down with Julie and Bryan to learn more about their fifteen years of retirement living, what prompted them to make the move, and why they believe this lifestyle choice has such a positive effect on wellbeing in older age.
How did you know which retirement village was right for you? “We came upon Kintyre Living Retirement Village purely by chance,” says Julie. “We decided to have a picnic one day down by the river and noticed these lovely-looking homes over the road, so we drove over to take a closer look. “After a quick tour, Bryan – who rarely makes impulsive decisions – immediately asked how much we’d need to pay for a deposit.” “It was the perfect distance from town, and with attractive amenities such as the swimming pool, tennis court, library, computer room, and a busy activities program to keep us socially active.” What has been your experience of retirement living over the – years? Why did you decide to move into “Initially, we were still working when a retirement village? we moved,” explains Bryan. “And given our roles in hospitality, retire“As part of our jobs in tourism and ment living gave us the freedom to hospitality, we’d been living on the travel and be away for longer peroad for several years, managing riods without worrying about what motels and caravan parks around was going on back at home.” Australia,” says Bryan. “We were ready to put down some roots and “Once we retired, we continued be closer to our children, who all travelling and even went on a lived in Dubbo at the time.” round-the-world cruise for three months, which was amazing.” “My father had lived with dementia for a long time, which had been Is there a balance between the challenging,” adds Julie. “We didn’t vibrant social scene and a sense want our children to have to worry of privacy? about taking care of us in our older “Absolutely,” says Julie. “I’m a very age, so retirement living seemed like sociable person but I also greata great option.

What do you think are the main benefits of retirement living? “I can’t stress enough how fulfilling it is living in a community like this,” says Bryan. “Yes, if you live in a normal street, often you barely know your immediate neighbours,” Julie agrees. “But here, you can get to know people well, even if they live at the other end of the village. “Of course, like any community, there are some people you have more in common with than others, but generally speaking, it’s easy to make friends, and in our experience at least – it’s difficult to become lonely.” “People are aware of others’ situations and possible health issues – particularly our closer neighbours,” says Bryan. “We often ask after them, and they do the same for us. We all care about our neighbours and support where we can.” What advice would you give someone considering the move into a retirement village? “I’d say go for it and consider making the move earlier than you think you should,” says Julie. “So often we hear people saying how they wish they’d moved five or even ten years earlier than they did. “There are just so many wonderful aspects to retirement living,” says Julie. “There’s security, companionship, and a team of caring staff – what more could you need?

Everything’s coming-up roses for April’s Stock Route Music Festival at Lazy River By DAVID DIXON
E
verything’s coming-up roses for April’s much-anticipated Stock Route Music Festival at the beautiful Lazy River Estate in Dubbo. Celebration of the best of the Central West, for the first time features a leading international act and one of North America’s best-known country music performers, spokesperson, Bec Gracie said. The Stock Route Music Festival, on Saturday, April 20, promises an array of musical talents, featuring Canadian sensation Dan Davidson alongside co-headliner Travis Collins, and award-winning artists Ashleigh Dallas, The Bushwackers, Max Jackson, and 2023 Toyota Star Maker finalist, Robbie Mortimer. “Everything’s looking good, ticket sales are selling very well, with Dan, Travis, as well as the Bushwhackers – they’re legends in Australian music,” Bec said. “Max was also a Golden Guitar winner at Tamworth recently, and Travis also won this year, as well as Robbie, a performer from Orange,” she added. Not just another country music event, Bec said it’s more like the legendary annual outdoor rock music celebration traditionally held at Hunter Valley vineyards, “A Day on the Green”, but for country music fans. “That’s exactly what it’s like, I think it’s the location at Lazy River Estate, out amongst the vineyards, it’s such a wonderful location. “It’s definitely a beautiful place to be enjoying music, and it’s such

an iconic place for this event,” Bec enthused. Success of this year’s celebration could see other overseas acts booked for future years as the Festival, now in its third iteration, continues to grow in popularity. “This is the first overseas act we’ve had in Dan, and it’s great to see the event have an international flavour. “It looks to be very popular so far with bookings and the like, so it’s definitely on the agenda,” Bec said. Other innovations for this year’s event, includes the introduction of camping to the Festival for the first time, with sites available to be booked at Lazy River. The Emerging Talent comp late last year was also a great success, with more than 60 applicants from across the country (and two based in the United States); a huge result for a Festival. Lake Macquarie singer-songwriter Aaron Jurd bagged the golden ticket to open the 2024 Stock Route Music Festival; winning the Emerging Talent Competition via public voting on social media. “I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be opening the Stock Route Music Festival,” Aaron said “It’s an incredible opportunity to share my music with such a diverse and talented lineup of artists from both Canada and Australia,” he said.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS
Fletchers will train you on the job By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY Lillian Chen, 29, is a happy-golucky employee at Fletcher International Exports, and no wonder she’s happy after just returning from a holiday in Taiwan to see family for the first time in three years, thanks to Covid. “They were very happy to see me, and of course we stay in touch on video calls and things like that, but it was so good to see them in person,” she told Dubbo Photo News. Lillian has been an employee at Fletchers for five years and remembers when she first started in the meat processing plant, that it was a very difficult compared to the kind of employment she’d had in Taiwan. On most days now, Lillian works as a slicer, trimming and preparing cuts of meat for export, with an occasional role in quality assurance. “I first came to Australia on a working holiday because my sister had visited Australia before and
worked with a different company. Working at Fletchers is very different to what I’m used to because in Taiwan I was a sales assistant, which is just an office job. “So, this is my first time in a factory and in the beginning, I was always tired but now I’m stronger because I’ve got a bit of muscle,” she laughs, “primarily, I’m trimming the cuts or cutting according to a client’s order, which could be from many places in the world. “I’m happy working at trims; before, it seemed dangerous and not many women do it, but the supervisor wanted to give me a try and I’m happy because I’ve been here for a long time so I’m happy to try something new. “Plus, you can do that here, if you I ask your supervisor, they’ll consider it. So, before they train you in an area they’ll introduce you to it, to see if you like it, if you have enough muscle and they’re very to see you try a new role,” Lillian said. Fletcher International Exports is a family-owned business based
in Dubbo but is also one of Australia’s largest meat processing and export businesses, employing hundreds of people, and it surprised Lillian that she’d ever get to meet and talk to ‘the boss’, almost every day. “I’ve met Roger Fletcher so many times, and he always says to me, ‘hey Little One, how are you?’ and so I call him grandpa,” she laughs, kindly. “Everyone is very friendly, the supervisor, the people in the area where I work, all friendly. It might be Fletchers, or it might be Australia, but here you can feel closer to your managers or boss compared to Taiwan, that’s what I feel.” Lillian plans to stay working in Australia for as long as she can, so its lucky her view of Dubbo has changed a lot since arriving. “When I first came to Dubbo it was a little bit boring because I live in a city in Taiwan which isn’t too crowded, but it’s just 10 minutes from the central city where it is so crowded and the shops are

Junior docs head west for internships SOME 34 junior doctors started work last week as interns with Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD), bolstering the medical workforce and providing a major boost to local health services across the central west. Interns are doctors in their first year of work after graduation from medical school, and are required to undertake a supervised year of practice in order to become independent practitioners. The 2024 intake is among more than 1,000 new medical graduate interns who have started work across NSW Health, the highest annual intake of any state or territory in Australia. Professor Mark Arnold, WNSWLHD Chief Medical Officer, extended a warm welcome to the new starters, many of whom began their two-week orientation across the District’s major hospitals in Dubbo, Orange and Bathurst last week. “It’s a pleasure to welcome the

34 new junior doctors beginning work across our District this year. They will play a vital role in keeping our communities safe and healthy,” Professor Arnold said. “We’re thrilled these young doctors have made the decision to begin their careers in our District,
where they will have the chance to learn from our dedicated, experienced clinicians. “The breadth of experience they will gain in regional hospitals and health facilities will be invaluable as they embark on what I’m sure will be long, suc-
cessful careers in medicine. “We’re committed to ensuring our new junior doctors have the best experience possible, in the hope they choose to remain in Western NSW long term. I hope to be able to meet with them all over the coming weeks and months.”
The new junior doctors starting their internship are entering a training program with networked hospitals throughout the state, which provides both formal and on-the-job training. They receive two-year contracts to rotate between metropolitan, regional and rural hospitals to ensure diversity of experience. They also rotate between specialties to become skilled in the clinical care of patients in various settings, and the care of people undergoing procedures such as surgery. The NSW Government has indicated it is committed to building the health workforce of the future, rolling out a broad suite of initiatives to better support patients, staff and communities. This includes the implementation of safe staffing levels in hospitals, delivering an extra 500 regional and rural paramedics, doubling rural health incentives and rolling out health worker study subsidies.

TOUR IS AFTER MORE CYCLISTS AND TEAMS FOR BREEZY 700KM CYCLE ROUND REGION
C
By DAVID DIXON
locking-in at around a lazy 700km, this year’s unique Tour de OROC (’Orana Region Outback Challenge’), is no gentle pedal for the casual weekend cyclist. This distance, however, is a breeze compared to previous events that covered more than 1100km of the beautiful Central West, helping raise funds for worthy local charity, Macquarie Home Stay. Indicating the importance of this event, tour organisers point out that any money raised, is often matched by state and federal government agencies eager to support the good work of the family hospital accommodation facility. The Toyota Tour de OROC, run by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South, is a challenging six-day biennial bicycle ride that this year runs from the week starting Monday, March 18, and will cover the towns of Coonamble, Lightning Ridge, Walgett, Brewarrina, Bourke, and Cobar. With more than 20 committed road cyclists already signed on for this signature local event, Rotary Club of Dubbo South Tour de OROC Fundraising Committee Chair Ben O’Brien thinks this event could bust the half-century mark of riders and
The Toyota Tour de OROC, run by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South, is a challenging six-day biennial bicycle ride that this year runs from the week starting Monday, March 18, and will cover the towns of Coonamble, Lightning Ridge, Walgett, Brewarrina, Bourke, and Cobar. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
support teams. “It was the mayor (Mathew Dickerson’s) brainchild and, since its establishment in 2013 when his vison became a reality, he’s ridden in every one since,” Ben said. “They’re all committed cyclists: last event in 2022, we had 27 riders, but this year, we’re hoping for about 50 to take part,” he added. Part of the rationale for this year’s shorter distance is for the cyclists themselves to be able to explore the tourist attractions of each town during the ride. “In previous years, the riders often only arrived in towns in the
evening and had little time or energy to explore their tourist attractions,” Ben explained. “We want the riders to have the opportunity to see the fish traps in Brewarrina; the water tower art in Coonamble; and the opal museum in Lightning Ridge.” Tour founder, Dubbo Mayor Mathew Dickerson agreed, saying last year, that they want to give the riders more of a chance to experience the special appeal of the region. “It had previously been about 1100 to 1200km over six days but, after having ridden up-to 220km in a day, the cyclists were getting into town at about 6pm, and
only wanted a shower, a meal, and a sleep,” he added. “Many of our riders are from Sydney and the coast, and they simply don’t get the chance to see and experience our communities… this will allow them to get into town at about 1pm, so participants get to see a bit more of the town,” he added. Macquarie Home Stay services people throughout the entire Orana Region, with more than 50 per cent of admissions to Dubbo Hospital coming from outside of Dubbo district. The facility, therefore, offers patients and their loved ones a home-away-fromhome, during their stay at, what is for most, a very stressful time.
After many years of community fundraising – including the Tour de OROC since 2013 providing more than $660,000 – first stage of Macquarie Home Stay was opened in January 2019, though more funds are needed to grow the resource further. “A big chunk of the money raised will go towards developing stage II of the building, its furnishings, fit-out, and furniture,” he said. “But any fundraising, is often matched by grants from either the state and federal governments, who are also strong supporters of Macquarie Home Stay,” he added.
Saddle up or stump up: Tour de OROC event heading off again March 18 EVERY two years since 2013, committed riders have set off on the exciting Toyota Tour de OROC charity cycle event. And it’s getting close to ‘go’ time again. This event has raised more than $600,000 to support Macquarie Home Stay, a low-cost and high-quality accommodation facility for people from our region coming to Dubbo for medical care.
Since the 1990’s, access to many aspects of health care has become unavailable in towns out in our region. Except for Mudgee, no other town has a maternity unit or the capacity to perform even minor surgical procedures. This has meant increasing numbers of people needing to come to Dubbo for medical help. Many of these people are eco-
nomically disadvantaged, and the cost of accommodation can be a significant extra burden to the point where they may neglect to come for treatment and suffer health consequences as a result. That is why Macquarie Home Stay has been such an important facility for a great many people. Regrettably, demand has outstripped supply, and many pro-
spective guests are being turned away. On the positive side, building has commenced on the next stage, which will accommodate people coming to Dubbo for cancer treatment. More funding is needed for this development, which is where the Tour de OROC comes in. The organising committee is hoping to raise a record amount

Thumbs up to the members of Dubbo Rivercare who spend many volunteer hours cleaning up and carrying out planting along the Macquarie River in Dubbo. On a very hot Sunday morning they were busily working along the riverbank near the Tamworth Street bridge on the Tracker Riley Cycleway. Sadly, all the workers had large bags of rubbish collected, as well as a shopping trolley and other large items. A big thank-you to all these volunteers working tirelessly to make our river area look better. Thumbs up to the lady at Dusk who gave a man some bags and helped him pick up his groceries when his bag broke while at Orana Mall. Thumbs up to the team at Orana Gardens for their fabulous dedication and support of our mother whilst she was in their care. Thumbs up to Julie & Tara at Abbey Funeral Home for their compassionate manner in helping us through a difficult time Thumbs up to the wonderful staff at Club Dubbo for their professionalism and compassion shown whilst hosting our mother’s wake.

She helped explain how the system works to this couple of newbies in a very friendly way. Thanks!
Local not-forprofit groups were on Monday invited to have their say about what spaces and buildings their organisation can use at the proposed Dubbo Community Precinct. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
IT seems there are plenty of ideas for development of the innovative Dubbo Community Precinct planned for 45 hectares in east Dubbo. With the proof in the pudding, as they say, more than 140 participants on Monday night, – representing about 40 groups from the community, environment, health, First Nations creative, multicultural, accessibility, and recreational sectors – attended the public forum by the Eleven.R not-for-profit discuss the concept. Aimed at improving our cohesion as a society, the local organisations were invited to have their say about what spaces and buildings they need in the proposed development; the inspiration of local businessman and philanthropist,
Steve Wilson. The public forum was facilitated by Natalie Bramble from the “Your Not For Profit Guide” with a panel including Mr Wilson; CEO of Regional Development Australia (Orana), Justine Campbell; and Macquarie Homestay Managing Director, Rod Crowfoot. Mr Wilson said that the idea, is designed to be much more than just a new workspace, buildings, and grounds, for local groups. “We really want the precinct to foster a strong sense of community,” he said. “To create an environment that enhances the overall well-being of Dubbo’s residents, attracts new businesses, and supports vital community services,” he added. This unique concept recognises
door gathering and event spaces. This initial meet, he explained, was only the first step of the unique proposal. He added that, anyone who has an idea or potential project they would like to discuss in more detail, can register for one of the round-table meetings, with faceto-face and online options also available. Small community groups just wanting a regular meeting/workshop/storage space are also strongly-encouraged to submit a survey or attend a round table as that information will help the grant application to build a shared access, multi-use community centre.

the support that Mr Wilson and 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 enthused. There were discussions on the evening about the need for land for larger organisations and services to construct buildings specific to their requirements and their clients needs, and the need for out-

Launched last Saturday with the Peter Weir Australian classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Smokescreen offers Dubbo locals the chance to enjoy, celebrate, and revel in classic cinema in a fun and friendly environment. Each year for the series a number of films are selected around a specific theme, with “Scene Stealing Style” the 2024 motif. Curated by staff from the WPCC Cultural Development team, Local Studies Officer Simone Taylor jumped at the opportunity to again host this year’s event. “Scene Stealing Style looks at how art direction helps bring a story to life visually; how the look and feel of the film adds to the storytelling experience for the audience,” Ms Taylor said. “If you think about your favourite film, it’s likely one particular moment stands out, that captures something essential,” she added. Other films coming-up this year includes Irwin Allen’s Towering Inferno, Marilyn Monroe

in Gentleman Prefer Blondes, Orson Welles in The Third Man, Marlon Brando’s On the Waterfront, as well as the blaxploitation classic, Coffy, starring the inestimable Pam Grier. “Think Steve McQueen flying through the streets of San Francisco in his 1968 Ford Mustang from Bullitt,” Ms Taylor said. “These are moments in film that leave lasting impressions.” Film enthusiasts can buy a season pass which includes admission to all the remaining 10 films and an after-movie buy-one-get-one-free drink voucher at partnering business, The Establishment Bar. “Those who come along may not have heard of some of the films in the program, but each is iconic and, in its own way, set standards and shaped later generations of film-making. “Whether you’re revisiting old favourites or discovering new films, Smokescreen is a must-see event for any movie enthusiast,” she concluded. Smokescreen will be held in the Drama Room at the WPCC on the first Saturday of each month, from 4pm.

A pre-settlement inspection is designed to ensure the property is in the same condition as when it was purchased. The pre-settlement inspection should occur as close to settlement as possible, but also leave enough time for any potential issues to be remedied. This is also the time to check that any special conditions in the sales contract have been met, such as the inclusion of non-fixed items or the removal of specific items. If something’s not as you’d expect at the property, this should be raised immediately with your conveyancer. They can then work with the vendor’s legal team to have the problem remedied or negotiate a reduction to the sale price that covers the cost of any required repairs. Do you have any real estate related questions? Contact Karen Chant on m 0448 191167 or email karen@chantandco.com.au

Buying a home in Australia is a decision that requires careful planning and research. By considering location, market conditions, property quality, and additional costs, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your financial and lifestyle goals.
And by ‘as you would expect’ we mean not better and not worse than when the sales contracts were initially exchanged.
k Ter rac
Secondly, it’s important to understand the real estate market dynamics. With fluctuating market conditions, understanding whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market can guide your purchasing decision. In a buyer’s market, the supply of properties exceeds demand, resulting in lower prices. Conversely, a seller’s market sees more buyers than available homes, driving prices up. Engaging with a reliable real estate agent or doing your research can provide invaluable insights into market trends.
Lastly, keep in mind that purchasing a home involves additional costs beyond the price of the property. Buyers are generally responsible for paying stamp duty, which is based on the purchase price, and which can add a substantial amount to the overall cost. Additionally, factor in costs for legal fees, home insurance, and ongoing costs like council rates and strata fees.
The pre-settlement inspection is the final check to ensure everything is as you would expect in the property you’ve purchased.
e
Firstly, consider the location. Property prices can vary dramatically depending on geographical location. City centre properties in Sydney and Melbourne can fetch a premium, while more remote or rural locations may offer greater affordability. Consider your lifestyle needs and preferences, proximity to essential services like schools and hospitals, and potential commute times before deciding.
The third key factor to consider is the quality of the property. Australia’s weather patterns vary greatly, from tropical in the north to temperate in the south, and the homes should be built to withstand the regional climates. Building and pest inspections are critical to identify potential issues, such as structural defects or termite damage, which could lead to costly repairs down the track.
What exactly is the pre-settlement inspection and what should you be on the lookout for?

New Design 10 studio at Mitre 10
TAKING THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR RENOVATION DECISIONS Some of the most important decisions you have to make for your new home, extension, or house makeover, are imagining how the finished designs will look together. Well, imagine no more! Dubbo Petrie’s Mitre 10’s new in-house Design 10 studio takes the guesswork out of your in-house choices with a purpose-built space to make sure that every decision is the right one. Now operating, this exciting new facility at their retail store at 64 Macquarie Street is only the third to be opened in NSW, after Coffs Harbour and Orange. “The doors are open now, and we’ll be having the official opening at the end of February,” Petrie’s Mitre 10 Marketing Manager Lucy McDonald said. “Basically, Design 10 is our answer to a high-tech showroom… helping you decide on your kitchen, bathroom, laundry, the flooring, the cladding: it’s about picking the pretty bits of your home,” she added. A unique feature of Design 10 is that homeowners and renovators get the chance to see you how their design decisions will play out, before beginning the work. “It’s a fully-integrated working display, our team have huge screens to walk you through your plans to see how they will look, before you make your final decision,” Lucy said. “Our grand opening is on Thursday, February 29, and we’ve got quite a few people coming, builders through to renovators, designers, and the community,” she revealed. Basically, the Design 10 showroom offers whole-of-
house solutions, she explained. If you’re building or renovating, Jo, Tracey, and Rachael, can help showcase the latest offerings in kitchen, bathroom, and laundry products. Such things as appliances, sinks and tapware, toilets, bathroom accessories, heating and cooling, outdoor living products, engineered and solid timber flooring solutions, and cladding. The Design 10 team take the time to really understand the customer’s needs through qualifying questions. This helps understand what customers are looking for, to guide them through the showroom and find the perfect products to meet their needs. “We’ll be having a few of our executives there for the opening, including Phil Petrie for the big day,” Lucy said. “But it’s already up and running, with our team, Jo, Tracey, and Rachael, already down there and ready to help,” she concluded.

ARIES: Major changes are on the horizon in various areas of your life! You’ll feel justifiably proud of your achievements and will make the necessary efforts to ensure your business runs smoothly. TAURUS: It’s time to rejuvenate yourself; bask in the present moment and relax. Someone close to you will require your help. If you’re an artist, you’ll find inspiration this week. Inner guidance is within your reach. GEMINI: You’ll manage a large-scale project. This will bring together various people around you. Despite the challenges of getting donations from those involved, you’ll be incredibly efficient and receive praise for your success after some effort. CANCER: Big responsibilities await you, both at work and at home. Your dedication will be noticed and could be rewarded with a promotion and a pay raise. There’s plenty to celebrate! LEO: The idea of embarking on a spiritual journey will take root in your mind. It will require several months of careful preparation to blossom and become a source of inspiration, ultimately allowing you to find profound meaning in your existence. VIRGO: Emotions are powerful around you. You may need to rethink your relationship to flourish. At the very least, you’ll no longer accept compromises. You’ll need to reflect deeply about your relationship. LIBRA: Although there may be some tension, your strong teamwork skills will help you make great progress. If you’re in a new relationship, you’ll have to overcome concerns that challenge your commitment and define a better future between you. SCORPIO: At work, you’ll see the benefits of your work, even if it means feeling exhausted. As your customer base grows, you’ll need to double down your efforts to solidify your financial future. SAGITTARIUS: Your self-esteem needs a boost. You passionately devote yourself to others. However, it’s important to direct some of that attention toward yourself. This is especially true if some people tend to take your kindness for granted and don’t recognise your sacrifices. CAPRICORN: You’ll devote a substantial amount of your time to family this week. You may think about moving in the short term. At the very least, a significant change in your personal or professional environment will be beneficial. AQUARIUS: You’ll expand your social circle, thanks in large part to some publicity or, at the least, an increased presence on social media. Your talents and professional activities will become better known, improving your financial situation. PISCES: You’ll be given the green light to finance a project. Act now! This will be a good week to pay off some of your debt, making your financial situation more flexible. Think of it as a kind of fresh start.

Are you a collector too? If you’d like to share about your collection, contact us: collector@dubbophotonews.com.au
By JOANNE AUSTEN BROWN
hristmas is over and we are getting back into our daily routines. As I packed up Christmas, I realized I have a big collection of Santas. In fact, they come in all shapes and sizes. It got me thinking about collections. I love collecting lots of things and I know I am not the only one. Many people collect objects. Art, books paintings. Andrew Carnegie, noted American industrialist and philanthropist, was a man who loved to collect. One of his biggest collections can be found in the Getty Museum in LA. In fact, the Getty exists because of Carnegie. ʼ Ѓˡ˗ ˜˧ ˘˫˖˜˧˜ˡ˚ ˧ˢ ˖ˢ˟˟˘˖˧ʟ but only what interests me. I love art and have collected some lovely paintings, but it is an expensive habit, and we don’t all have the kind of resources Andrew Carnegie has. But we also like to collect
objects that make us smile or laugh or remember. And they can be small and inexpensive. Some people think that Christmas is the season to collect. I certainly love my Santa collection. But I collect at other times of the year too. I want to see your collections too. So please, if you know anyone or want to have your collection shown off here in Photo News email me, Joanne, at the address listed in above.
Birds – They add such beauty to the home. Much to the annoyance of my cats.
My Santa Collection
Tea pots. I love tea and teapots. I have collected tea pots from around the world. My son and family recently got me a teapot replica of the first-class dining room tea pot, from the Titanic. I love it.
Dutch clogs – Delft and wooden. I have collected these from family and friends and from Holland too.
Willow Tree Figurines – they are beautiful. Here are some of mine. The figures are holding flowers.

DUCKS WARM-UP Neither fish nor fowl, it’s the new sport, Pickleball! THEIR TAIL-FEATHERS By GEOFF MANN
WHEN is a sport a vegetable? When you combine tennis and badminton, to create the new racquet game – Pickleball! Greg King’s dream of converting an historic old tennis complex, into a sports centre for people of all ages, came-alive on Sunday when more than 30 enthusiasts turned-up to try this innovative and fun mini-court game. The launch involved the original Paramount Tennis Club Courts in Bultje Street on the northern side of Elston Park, being transformed into badminton-sized courts suitable for singles or doubles competition. Dubbo Mayor, Councillor Mathew Dickerson, cut the ribbon, confirming DRC’s support for this exciting new facility. “Pickleball fans and Council staff, worked together to achieve the makeover,” Greg said. “He (Cr Dickerson) showed his skills, that might lead to a challenge for other councils!” he added. The smaller size and less running required in the game than for tennis, squash, and badminton, makes it a more inclusive sport that almost everyone can become proficient at. “The tennis element, is in the use of a racquet, or paddle/pickle, while the playing area, which is similar to badminton, means four can fit into one full-sized tennis court size. This means more people, more challenges, and a lot of fun,” Greg smiled. Pickleball was introduced to Dubbo by a local teacher who was on exchange in Canada. “Graham Francis came into Sports World when he came home and he said, ‘Greg you’ve gotta’ see this sport called Pickleball; it’s a fantastic activity, going crazy in Canada and in the US; It’s one helluva’ sport’ “So we did a few trials indoors at the Stadium on Sheraton Road, and now we have our own all-weather outdoor complex.” In a happy stroke of serendipity, Greg had seen the old Paramount courts were falling into disrepair, and approached Council to explore the possibilities for a new use. “Tennis is a fabulous sport, but this hybrid game offers more people the chance to be active and participate with new friends,” Greg explained. “We needed to make some changes to the surface, because the special perforated ball does not bounce well on synthetic, but a few of us pitched-in, ripped-up the old carpets, and rolled-out our new surface; now we have something that everyone can use,” he enthused.

Tennis Australia Coordinator, Helen Magill from Parkes, is also a qualified Pickleball coach. ‘I did a two-day course in January with a head honcho from the US,” she said. “This is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and there has just been a draft for an upcoming National Pickleball League!” Helen says there are big bucks for players participating in the fledgling NPL. “Most of them are ex-college tennis players who have brought all the energy, enthusiasm, and hype of American sport with them.” Tennis Australia are now official “Racquet Sport Deliverers” including for the sports, tennis, padel, pop, and pickleball, and have appointed a national CEO. “As Greg says, the big advantage is you can fit 16 people on one reconfigured tennis court,” Helen said. “The only issue is, the majority of our courts are synthetic and the plastic, perforated ball, designed to slow down the speed and bounce, doesn’t bounce,” Helen added. Greg was keen to praise those who gave so generously of their time to help first-timers get some understanding of
this great game. “Their efforts were evident by the number of people who were happily stating: ‘that was so much fun. “Thanks heaps to everyone who has been involved in bringing this new activity to our city and the region. “Enjoyment always results when other people’s needs are more important than your own, and that is certainly a major feature of pickleball.” Greg reserved special thanks for Alwyn Edwards who helped so much with setting-up everything, One thing both Greg and Helen Magill confirmed, is that this is a sport of “unlimited possibilities”. “I had one school sports coordinator come to the opening and book a regular spot for his students on sports days,” Greg said. “We might target aged care and gated communities to introduce more people to an energising new activity,” he said, with pans already for the sports’ expansion. For more information on “Come and Try Days” as well as comps and equipment, contact Greg King at Sports World.
By GEOFF MANN DUBBO Vets Swimmers, better known as “the Ducks”, dived-in for their final dip before the annual Western Districts Carnival this Sunday. Jack Allen showed his off-season training with CYMS hasn’t blunted his style, taking the 25-metre freestyle from Mal Cavanagh, Craig Ross, Marg Ross, David Sparkes, and Ncole Johnston. Henry Willcockson and Louise Taylor broke early and destroyed their hopes in the Brace relay, allowing Mark Prentice and Jacob Pearce to take the points; with Greg Jankowski/Will S third; and Lucas Salmon/ Mal Cavanagh, and John W/Mark S, filled the placings. Louise Taylor beat David Sparkes to claim the 50-metre freestyle with Peter Hargreaves, Rob Rich, and Mark Prentice, following. Greg Jankowski took the backstroke by a sliver-thin.04 of a second from Lucas, with Mark Scullard, Neil Harris, and Mal Cavanagh chasing. Mal the backed-up to take the Dick Smith Transport Trophy Race in a fine warm-up for this Sunday’s annual tournament with the other western clubs.
THE SUNDY BOWLER
Pete Sinclair hits the jackpot with a perfect five-from-five Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’ THERE is nothing better in a game of bowls, than when the head is inspected, the shots counted, and the shot count gets above three. At this time, the team feels good. So, when Paul Martin, Allan Stratford, and Pete Sinclair teamed together and scored a five count on the fifth end, they grabbed a lead that left Vicki Hummel, Steve Kelly, and Paul Goodstat reeling somewhat. They fought back however with a triple of their own, to be just one off the pace then a three on the ninth was even better – two shots in front, and going ahead by one more on the 10th. Vicki, Steve, and Paul, stayed in front until end 15, when it all fell apart! Paul M,
Al, and Pete combined and rolled a massive six on the second-last to snatch victory from the jaws – 1713 being the final tally. Pete is now five wins from five this year; although Paul G dropped his first of the year. Mick Strawhan also found his way back to the synthetics, commenting about the difficulty of adjusting to the faster surface after rolling-up on some grass greens recently. He was paired with Eric Satchell in a game of Three Bowl Pairs against Ian Humphries and Ricky See. The first ends were close, both sides scoring evenly, till a triple by Eric and Mick on the eighth, gave them a four-shot lead. Both sides scored more doubles in the second half but, with the leaders scoring twice as many,
this meant Eric and Mick won 1610 and scored first place for the morning. In another Pairs game, heavyweights Bryan O’Sullivan was teamed with Graham Ross, while Pete Ruzans had Gordon Scott as skip in a 2-4-2 game. A three on the opening end by Bryan and Graham, set the standards, but Pete and Gordon fought-back, making it five-all on end six. Graham saw to it as often as he could to upset the head and shots created by the others, yet Pete and Gordon managed to put together a handy four on the eighth, to snatch a five-shot lead. Bryan was finding his range however as Graham was finding his targets, and they came-up with a four after the turn, as well as a few singles and a triple, to lead by
five with three to go. With a bit of mastery, Pete and Gordon found something extra, adding a five and a double to take back the lead by two shots with one end to roll. Unfortunate for Bryan and unlucky for Graham, they could only scrape in a single which allowed Pete and Gordon to secure the win, 17 to 16. Ron Millgate, Ross Pharo, Al Andriske, and Frank Bartlett, Therese Gaio, and Brian Jones were evenly poised at the halfway mark – four ends each, but it was a two-shot advantage to Brian and his team as they turned for home. A triple on 10 helped to extend their lead, but things went awry from there. Ron and Ross, along with Al, found their way, rolling-in shots for the last five ends,
scoring three doubles and a triple against their stagnant opponents. From two shots down, to four shots up, felt good for Ron and Ross and made skip Al a happy man and second place for the day. A triple on the first and a double to follow gave Chris Castlehouse, Ray Strawhan, and Col Cottee plenty to crow about before Leo Balstad, Ruby Stockings, and Anthony Coe rolled in a five to bring the game to life. A second quintuplet on end seven saw them heading for a massive result. Although they won five of the second eight ends, Chris, Ray, and Col could not bridge the gap, a double their best result, so Anthony’s side won 19 to 13, and were placed third for the morning to have them over-the-moon!

CLOSE NEVILLE'S GOOD HALF-CENTURY CALLS AS A RACE JUDGE
By GEOFF MANN
A young sportsman who grew-up in the red hills and plains around Cobar, has put down his glasses in the Judge’s Box, for the very last time. Neville Good has been deciding winners and placings on race tracks including Brewarrina, Goodoga, Collarenibri, Walgett, Nyngan, Parkes, Forbes, Coonamble, Mudgee, Narromine, Wellington, Trangie, and also his home town of Cobar, for a full and rewarding 50 years. Renowned country race-caller Col Hodges – who also has a near half-century in the industry – said that, when Neville pulled the pin after the last race at Parkes at the end of January, it was like a part of the furniture had been removed. “Neville and I go way back; we’re often the first at the tracks to check our starters and any changes in gear and jockeys that may affect our call,” Col said. “When I say ‘photo’, there could be $100,000 riding on the call, so Nev’s got the responsibility of checking the photo and getting it right,” he added. Neville for his part, has had plenty of close calls he has had to adjudicate over the years. “I wasn’t at Cowra for the three-way dead-heat Col called in the late 90s, but I’ve had some dead heats, both for winners and placings. I have watched that race a few times, and Col got it right when he thought it ‘could be a three-way dead heat here’,” Neville said with admiration. The veteran judge also reports on anything that he sees in the mounting yards that might be different to what is on the final nomination form, such as a change of colours the addition of a breastplate or blinkers on a horse. He explained that this is so that everything must be in order so that he can give the correct call every-time on photo-finishes. “Punters, owners, and trainers would give me a mouthful, if I ‘semaphored’ the wrong numbers, because I had not checked the animals and their riders pre-race.” Neville told Photo News, that the racetrack judge’s role is two-fold. “We’re supposed to do our own impact and give an eyesight judgement on every race,” he revealed. “The camera is only supposed to be an aid for judges but, in close finishes, we definitely use the camera.” Technology, he added, has made the role of calling close finishes a little easier. “Things have changed since that Cowra triple. “We now use digital equipment and have computers; back then, it was freeze-frame black-and-

white,” he smiled. Neville found his way into the position of judge and photo-finish operator, not because of his love for horses but, ironically, his fascination with photography. “From when I was a kid I loved to take photos and develop them. I was fascinated by how they used the technology at road and track cycling races I was at in Cobar.” It was here that a bit of good luck came his way, he explained. “The experienced local camera operator, Max Humphries at Cobar Motors, had been a professional photographer at Bourke. “He had some equipment for sale, so I bought it and took off to the racetrack!” he recalls. Nev also remembers the wise advice that this old stager offered him when he was starting-off, a philosophy he has lived by ever since. “Never take shortcuts,” Nev said. “Better to get it right the first time, then have to try and retrieve something you can never get back!” Nev says in the early days, it was all chemical film for the photo finishes, with black-and-white images that had to be developed.. “We had some ‘fun’ in those days, because the caller’s box was not always adjacent to the finish-
ing post. “This meant there were skewed angles for both the man bringing the race through the microphone and those positioned at either pre or post-finish vantage points,” he explained. This situation occasionally caused some friction with irate punters, he remembers. “The photo finish camera has always been mounted at a 90-degree angle to the inside fence, but some of the buildings are actually set-away from the post. “Patrons think that is where the photo is taken, and then trouble brews!” Neville says Gilgandra was always a difficult course, not for the actual finish, but the perception that onlookers had. “This was exacerbated, because the television camera was actually 11 metres past the post,” he said. “There were times when punters disputed the results, because the inside horse they thought had won, was actually beaten by three-quarters of a length!” Neville then wondered aloud: “how many decisions made before the photo-finish was in place, may have been overturned with modern technology”. Like decisions on footy fields or cricket pitches made by humans responding to the naked eye and quick judgement, one can only
speculate. Who knows, this may have changed the course of racing history! Col Hodges is philosophical about such “what-ifs”. “No race-caller gets it totally right; I’ve been wrong in photo finishes; Gilgandra was always hard, because of the angle, but that has now been rectified for the television camera as well as the caller, and it has eliminated a rogue element from our industry. “It’s definitely a lot better when club officials and local identities were called-on to judge,” Col believes. Neville has also been trackside with some great jockeys. “GW ‘The Turtle’ Weate (Walgett), Dennis ‘Gooey’ Firth (Coonamble), Freddy Walker (The Money Man), Johnny Nestor (Gular), Reg Paine and his grandson Adam Hyeronimus (Cowra),” he runs through the names with affection. “But my all-time favourite, is the now-retired Greg Ryan; he is an immortal,” Neville said He also singled-out the likes of current champions, Clayton Gallagher and Jake Pracey-Holmes, and some brilliant youngsters like Anna Roper and Micaela Weir, and then the young lad from Brewarrina, Ronald Simpson, who is developing a promising career. Neville has also put some famous horse numbers into the
frame as favourites: “Tons of Fun, Whiskey Jack, Kisses for Cathy, Star of Universe, and Rafoy, come to mind.” He also named legendary trainers, Albert Hazlett (Walgett); John Lundholm (Coonamble) and his son Clint; Rodney Robb (Nyngan) and his son Brett; as well as John and Judy Nestor as some of his regular top-liners.. Neville could fill a book with his stories. He recounted a couple of the lighter moments. “The day the sprinklers came on as the horses rounded the straight in Bathurst; the Country Championship Qualifier in Mudgee when I lost all vision until the final 100 metres; tumbleweeds on the track at Walgett; Jockey Greg Ryan (a mechanic by trade) jumping-off his mount to fix the barrier gates, the ambulance, and even a mower!” he recalls fondly. He also laments the days when Irish jockey Damien Murphy (Wellington) and Reece Potter (Tottenham) both lost their lives doing what they loved, racing on the track. “I am still haunted by the vision of one of our former stewards, James Perry, who was struggling to stay above the water in the Qld floods many years ago, and whose body has never been found. “There was no better man than the great race-caller, Bobby Foran, who called 60 Gilgandra Cups, Nigel Tolhurst, the ‘weights right’ man from Wellington, and former jockey-turned-starter, ‘Icey’ Canham from Coonamble, who all passed in the last few years.” Col Hodges had a chuckle when he recalled Neville’s tall-tales and true, that had been shared over many long drives to-and-from race meetings. One that really touched him, was when Nev told him about his exploits on the pushbike. Col told him he’s heard he was pretty good. “Yes, he said, I was so good they handicapped me – took the chain off the bike. “That was bad, but I still ran second in a 25-mile race!” Nev laughed. Has he have any regrets about retiring and would Neville go back? “I’ve got no intentions of going back to the track. “When I left the Post Office after 37 years, I closed the door and never went back and, in my head now, I have the same thoughts. “I love the horses and what I call ‘the racing family’ – the trainers, strappers, track-riders, jockeys, owners, the race-callers, and the people who make it happen in every town,” he concluded. Neville, you are a good man, and we thank-you for your service!

South Dubbo Hornets STING Newtown Tigers in T20 semi By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL STILL a work in progress, the fast-developing South Dubbo Hornets team responded to young captain Lachlan Rummans’ inspiring leadership, to down one of night cricket’s most successful teams, Newtown Tigers, in the T20 Megahit semi-final on Friday night. Souths eventually won the low-scoring game by seven wickets after chasing down the lowish target of 101 with nine balls to spare. This maturing cricket side will meet the more-experienced CYMS Cougars in the final. Meanwhile, CYMS bowed-out of the Community Club Championships, fighting hard to defend a low total, before losing to Berowra on Sunday TOP LEFT: Souths fast bowler, Archie Morgan, who was economical with figures of 0/10 in the T20 Megahit semi-final on Friday night.
