Climbing the steep and slippery slope of study E

mbarking on further study can be a rocky path which can turn into a slippery slope quicker than you can say Edmund Hillary.

Last night, I watched a documentary about a mountaineer named Lincoln Hall who, after suffering severe altitude sickness, became delusional and hypothermic, and was left for dead near the summit of Mt Everest.

Hall had fallen into a deep coma and his pulse was so shallow, the sherpas who accompanied him there had thought him already deceased.

By some miracle, he was discovered the following morning by fellow climbers and eventually assisted to safety and able to return home to his family.

While it’s rather less dramatic, part-time study can be a bit like mountain-climbing: treacherous and difficult to maintain, and yet when you reach the summit, feels like nothing else on earth. I know I will never climb Mt Everest, mainly because I lack the desire to do it, but because I also happen to like the level of feeling I currently have in my fingers and toes.

Given the amount of determination I possess, I could probably do it if I set my mind to it, in the same way that I can finish my thesis. It’s just how much you want something to happen.

Last year, when I set out to do postgraduate study, things were a whole lot less complicated in my life although the drama of the application process was memorable to say the least. Readers of my columns would recall this drama: “After some to-ing and fro-ing during February, I attempted to submit an application and was told I would need to contact the school academic coordinator. But then it was made clear that a detailed 500 word thesis proposal was required by the next day, which would need the head of school’s approval.

My old access email was now dormant so I had to acquire a new login to submit an application. By this stage, it was late on Friday, February 22. I had to be approved in order to enrol on Monday, February

25. So I submitted the proposal using the postgraduate application form.

Thankfully, by late Monday, I had been approved. But there would be no supervisor available this year. After more emailing over the course of a few days, it was finally confirmed that I would have a thesis supervisor next year, focusing on coursework this year. But then my enrolment was late. I had to register for the online portal with a different log-in. I was told I would have a 24 hour window to enrol.”

In fact, it’s been more than two years since I started this endeavour, when I set out with plenty of stamina and walking poles at the ready.

There have been a lot of trials along the way, including course materials being unavailable and unattainable, the absence of a supervisor and all the objects that you don’t really think will get in your way such as changes in work hours, car breakdown and personal dramas. There have been tears and triumphs and, no doubt, plenty more to come by the time I finish.

But that’s another story. As John Steinbeck pointed out, the best-laid plans of mice and men can often go awry. Life gets in the way. You study.

You procrastinate. You will even clean the house before serious study commences. And I for one, hate to clean.

The other problem that I have had is that I just keep finding more and more books and articles and doing more and more reading, so it gets harder and harder to stop doing research. Much like a mountain, there is a false summit, and just when you think you are getting to the top, it turns out that there’s more of the mountain to climb.

But with the same steely determination I used to finish my undergraduate degree and that I would use if ever I found myself at Everest Base Camp, I will get there. Fulltime work, multiple commitments and part-time study may not be the easiest path, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.

“ The other problem that I have had is that I just keep finding more and more books and articles and doing more and more reading, so it gets harder and harder to stop doing research.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Tony Webber

>> Tony Webber is a Dubbo resident and drug reform advocate.

Our drug habit adds to our expensive drug problems T

he only possible excuse for our approach to drugs is being on drugs.

If someone in a tie-dyed shirt and a mind so roasted with LSD that the bricks are whistling had come up with our society’s approach to drugs you’d understand.

The SMH reports that one million people in this state used illegal drugs “recently” according to the National Household Drug Survey.

The survey found we are more likely to have used illicit drugs than to have used tobacco.

Now, that would be disappointing, except for the one feature that makes it more than just a bit infuriating as well.

The disappointing bit is that despite our efforts we are losing the “war on drugs” if winning the war on drugs is reducing their prevalence.

So like losing the war on your dog pooping in your slippers, it’s a disappointment.

But unless your crusade again doggy-do in shoes involved billions in expenditure, the criminalisation of otherwise honest citizens, over-crowded jails, distracted police resources and the massive empowerment of organised criminals the like of which we have never seen, then there’s no comparison.

The study showed that while the number of people arrested for possession has doubled in the past

6

six years this has had no impact on reducing usage.

Such a multi-layered screw up would probably be acceptable if it was conceived by a crimson-eyed wastrel just moments after lifting his lips from the head of a bong.

The NSW Bar Association has joined the growing list of knowledgeable bodies with firsthand knowledge of the drug issue and concluded that prohibition has failed.

But we soldier on, buoyed by the fact that the NSW Ombudsman found that 10,211 searches by sniffer dogs resulted in 19 successful prosecutions.

Tuesday’s SMH reported NSW Greens’ allegations that thousands of innocent concert goers are strip-searched each year after being falsely identified by sniffer dogs.

That’s a system you’d expect from the coke freak emerging from the toilet cubicle sniffling like a beagle with hayfever.

The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research found that the quantity of drugs seized had no effect on theft, robbery and assaults.

When photogenic, upper middle class kids occasionally die from ecstasy overdoses we lament the drug scourge, but not the fact that prohibition means they buy drugs without any way of knowing what’s in them.

Our approach ensures drugs are

“ The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research found that the quantity of drugs seized had no effect on theft, robbery and assaults

DUBBO WEEKENDER The Dubbo Photo News Weekend News Magazine 06.12.2014

more dangerous.

But of course what really catapults drug policy from stockstandard stupid – that is, digging without creating a hole – into the realm of true insanity are two additional by-products of the current approach.

First it is creating and sustaining a black market that is enriching established organised crime and emboldening and inspiring offshoot and start-up groups.

And because penalties here for possessing large amounts are quite high, that risk is sustaining the high market prices, thereby increasing the income to major criminals up the supply chain.

But only your man, toasted on acid, sitting barefoot in the dust, trying to focus on the ants whispering, could come up with the second aspect of prohibition that elevates it to psychedelic lunacy.

Think what it costs to stop kids taking yippy pills at dance parties or smoking pot at home.

Think what it costs to restrict

intoxication options to those sanctioned by the state.

The jails, the wages, the court time, the investigations, the sea patrols, the freight screening; the whole catastrophic drain on finite police resources that could be directed elsewhere.

What’s more, there’s better armed, stinking rich, ruthless criminals out there, the pursuit of whom also drains resources, to say nothing of the heightened potential for official corruption, the policing of which sucks yet more resources that could otherwise go to schools and hospitals.

Despite bleeding taxpayers dry, our approach has apparently not touched drug use, availability or associated crime while ensuring drugs are more dangerous than need be and creating some of the most powerful global crime gangs in history.

Off and running at athletics centre A

few weeks after being used for an athletics carnival, the newly-revamped Barden Park Regional Centre of Excellence for Athletics was officially opened amid much fanfare last Saturday.

Featuring a brand new grandstand and a running track of international standard, the complex received plenty of attention from the sporting fraternity and the wider community, along with representation from all three tiers of government.

Deputy Prime Minister and minister for infrastructure and regional development Warren Truss said the centre is now an international-standard athletics track and field venue.

“Barden Park can now cater for up to 1000 competitors, up to 2000 spectators depending on ground configuration, and can be used 365 days a year in all-weather conditions,” he said.

NSW Deputy Premier and Dubbo MP Troy Grant said the state of the art facility will be a drawcard for sporting events across the state.

“This is a great boost for the region, especially with the 14 full-time jobs created as a result of the economic activity generated by this project,” he said.

Parkes MP Mark Coulton said the redevelopment included the construction of a 600- seat grandstand with undercover seating.

“The new-look Barden Park also has the capacity to provide overnight accommodation for 35 children and two adult supervisors, which will be available at low-cost so families can afford to send their kids to development camps on-site.”

The Australian Government provided $3,477,223 towards the project, with the State Government contributing $575,000 and land valued at $681,000, and Dubbo City Council investing $958,130.

Two gongs for Dubbo tourism Dubbo cleaned up at the NSW Tourism Awards late last week, with not one, but two local bodies receiving awards.

Dubbo City Council was named the winner of the Local Government Award for Tourism at the NSW Tourism Awards ceremony in Sydney last Thursday.

Thrilled with the win, Dubbo Mayor Mathew Dickerson said the award reflects Council’s approach to positioning Dubbo as a desirable destination for tourists.

“Council has taken a specific approach to marketing Dubbo as a destination and attractions, facilities and services have been planned around this approach,” he pointed out.

“Investment in facilities such as Caltex Park and Barden Park is enabling Dubbo to host major events and with these events come tourists. Council is also planning for future tourism development in strategic areas such as Wiradjuri Park and the Regional Botanic Gardens.

“Overall, the award is a credit to Dubbo City Council and demonstrates the success of the strategic approach to tourism which includes investment in high quality facilities, establishing strong networks and a coordinated marketing program.”

Meanwhile, Taronga Western Plains Zoo

has picked up yet another gong, after receiving the award for Best Tourist Attraction and Unique Accommodation at the NSW Tourism Awards.

The zoo won in a strong field of wellknown attractions and accommodation including Cape Byron Conservation area, Glenworth Valley Outdoor Adventures, Q Station and Flash Camp.

This is the fourth consecutive year the Zoo has been a finalist in the NSW Tourism Awards and the second consecutive year it has won the Best Tourist Attraction category.

“This is another exciting achievement for the Zoo, and to win both categories acknowledges the changes we have made over the past 12 months,” Taronga Western Plains Zoo general manager Matthew Fuller said.

“The zoo would also like to congratulate Dubbo City Council on their win in the Local Government Award for Tourism category – we have a strong partnership with Dubbo City Council and it was a very successful night at the NSW Tourism Awards for Dubbo tourism.”

Boost for cricket community While the cricketing community con-

tinued to mourn the loss of national star Phil Hughes, the Cricket World Cup was brought to town for show and tell at Lady Cutler Oval.

The International Cricket Council trophy was in the city as part of an international tour in the lead-up to the World Cup to be hosted by Australia and New Zealand in February.

The visit coincided with the Destination NSW Home ground tour which offered cricket fans an opportunity to visit a mobile cricket museum, watch highlights from previous World Cup matches and enjoy a twilight exhibition match.

Young cricket players will also soon be able to relish seeing their heroes in action while being given the opportunity to strive for national selection.

Junior cricket teams from across the State are being invited by Indoor Cricket NSW to nominate players to represent their region in Round 1 of the Mustang Cricket 2015 Indoor Conference Series on January 9 in Sydney.

Country Thunder coordinator Greg King said the conference series is comprised of players from all over NSW. “This is the first step to cementing a spot in the Country Thunder team who will

“It is aimed at giving NSW Junior cricketers a taste of competitive indoor cricket.

“It is also deemed to be a starting pathway to representing a NSW team in the 2015 Cricket Australia’s Junior National Championships to be hosted in Brisbane in July.

King said this was a pathway for young cricketers to represent Australia.

Following round one of the conference series, players were invited to watch the Big Bash League clash between Sydney Thunder and the Sydney Sixers.

year,” he said. “In 2013/2014 the total was $102,000. This is money that can be better spent upgrading and maintaining facilities.

Anyone with information on this most recent attack is urged to contact Council or the police.

“Council will offer a reward of up to $2500 for information leading to the conviction of the person or group committing acts of vandalism.”

More fires for the region Fire still plagued our region this week, with the blaze at Garlings Rd, Goonoo Forest being kept under control after burning 160 hectares of bush. A fire also burned 40 hectares of land at Curries Rd, 18km west of Dubbo, along with burning off activity on a property on the Warren Rd, Narromine.

Howie the Yowie visits the library Children and adults alike flocked to the Dubbo library last Saturday for a meet and greet with local author Pat Clarke and illustrator Graeme Compton for the official launch of Howie the Yowie. Clarke’s fourth children’s book and the pair’s third collaboration was wellreceived by the audience who were enthralled by the tale of mystery and adventure. Clarke has lived in Dubbo for many years and was initially intrigued by the Goonoo Forest and its resident

animal population when she and her late husband Harley bought a property near there. The local landmark now features prominently in her stories, including that of Howie the Yowie – Adventures of a Lovable Monster.

Woman dies after ute fall An Oberon woman has died following a fall from the back of a utility last week.

Emergency services were called to Rutters Ridge Road, Oberon, at 7.30pm last Wednesday evening after reports a woman had been seriously injured.

Police from Chifley Local Area Command were told that the 45-year-old was seated in the back of the vehicle that was travelling along the roadway herding cattle.

The woman fell from the vehicle and struck her head on the roadway, sustaining critical head injuries.

The 38-year-old female driver stopped the vehicle immediately and rendered first aid.

The injured woman was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being airlifted to Liverpool Hospital. She underwent emergency surgery but died shortly after her life support was switched off on Sunday.

tralia Orana chair John Walkom.

The strategy relates to $6 billion earmarked for regional projects, one of which was to develop a corridor strategy for the Golden Highway by mid-2016.

“We are thrilled to see the Golden Highway included in these plans,” he said.

“We met with our colleagues in the Hunter last year to discuss and analyse the similarities and connection between our regions. The Golden Highway is a major part of this; it’s the way businesses in the Orana access the Port of Newcastle, the final Australian destination for the majority of the region’s export grain.

“We are very close to starting work on a regional Infrastructure Audit and Masterplan which will assist in informing the State on which pieces of infrastructure will have the greatest impacts on the region’s economy and productivity into the future. These may sit under the areas highlighted for funding, and will also take in the Far West region.”

Sports awards recognise excellence The annual Dubbo Sports Awards have been handed out for another year, with indoor cricket and ultimate frisbee the big winners at this year’s event.

Now in its 12th year, the Dubbo Sports Awards are designed to recognise the outstanding achievements of the most talented sports people for 2014.

Parkes MP Mark Coulton said it was an honour to be able to present the awards.

“I encourage everyone to become involved in sport. Not only is it an important part of leading an active and healthy lifestyle, it is also a valuable way of connecting with others in the community,” he said.

Woman sexually assaulted in city street

Skate park a target for graffiti The issue of graffiti at the skate park precinct remains an issue, despite big rewards promised to those with information leading to the perpetrators being reprehended. Extensive and offensive graffiti was discovered there this week, with the ensuing clean-up coming at the community’s expense.

Dubbo City Council parks and landcare director Murray Wood is disappointed that public money, time and resources are being spent cleaning up community assets.

Police are investigating the sexual assault of a woman at Bathurst on Friday night.

The 20-year-old woman was confronted by a man as she walked to her car which was parked on Keppel Street, near the intersection of William Street, about 11.30pm on November 28. The man dragged the woman a short distance before sexually assaulting her.

The attacker is described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance and aged in his 40s. He was wearing a navy hooded-jumper and board shorts.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Sally Bryant

Weekender regular Sally Bryant was born with her nose in a book and if no book is available, she finds herself reading Cornflakes packets, road signs and instruction manuals for microwaves. All that information has to go somewhere...

I

’ve been moving house. Such a simple sentence; four little words so easy to utter and they in no way describe the activity at all. It’s a bit like “I love you” or “I’m from the Taxation Department” – short phrases that sum up a world of emotion and large chunks of life. Either a little frisson of warm rosy glow or sheer blinding terror. And this experience has been an amalgam of both.

It’s been a tumultuous week. I’ve packed up all those bits of furniture, all the shoes, all the handy little bits of clothing, the can’t-walk-past-them bargains from a dozen auctions. Do you remember me buying the big cedar wardrobe? That had to be moved. I’m sure I’ve mentioned to you the wonderful hats?

They had to be moved. Do you have any concept of how many scarves I own? All had to be bagged up and shifted. Bloody hell... who knew this could be so overwhelming? I’m getting a sense of how Imelda Marcos felt, even given there has been no bloody coup in my life.

It was all meant to be so simple.

I had enlisted the help of two of the most equable men I’ve met in my life. I had borrowed a truck and trailer, a tray back four-wheel drive ute and a horse float. I had taken two days off work.

I thought I was organised. Ooooooh, Wilbur!

With all my forethought, all my plotting and planning, my finagling and finessing? It was horrendous and, to be honest, is still not over. I’m still scratching around in the dirt like an old chook, trying to remember in which plastic bag my knickers are; where is the bleach?

And who knows what’s happened to the hair dryer? I look like an Old English Sheepdog. Except young and beautiful.

I thought I was being quite systematic in my packing, but in retrospect maybe not so much. I thought going through each wardrobe and chest of drawers and upending each drawer into a large garbage bag for transport made sense.

“ Of course I had made some interesting choices about what to store in boxes, some of those were less than wise.

I mean, they were all co-located, so it would stand to reason that they could all then be unpacked straight back into the drawer from whence they’d come.

Well, actually no. It’s not working out quite like that. In fact, it’s a complete shemozzle.

I cannot fault my two henchmen.

They were fabulous. They made jokes as they picked up big bits of furniture.

They laughingly speculated on whether they could fit the bastard big blue sofa through the narrow doorway. They said they hoped it would be a tight fit because “you have to love a challenge”. They didn’t whinge when the heavens opened at the shearing shed at m’father’s place at Geurie and they were trying to pack countless heavy cardboard cartons into the back of the horse float. They handled all my treasures so carefully and kept asking if I was sure that ‘that’ was exactly where I wanted to leave each piece, and “be sure to tell us if you want us to move it again”. They wouldn’t let me lift anything heavy and they did exactly as they were asked with no debate over the best way. It was a completely delightful experience, working alongside them, they were marvellous. I think the icing on the cake was when they insisted on turning around the small blue rug with the llamas on it, so they were pointing in a legs down position rather than being Boori leg up. Because they said they couldn’t live with the thought that the llamas looked dead. Like sunbaking cattle carcasses. Bless.

It took so much longer than we’d thought; it always does. Instead of knocking it over in one day, we toiled for two.

To be fair, in some ways it was like moving two houses as I was combining my material possessions from the house of my landlady and the mountain of goodies that I’d stashed at my father’s place.

Totally out of his way. For four years.

And, oh my paws and whiskers, when I opened some of those cartons, what

DUBBO WEEKENDER The Dubbo Photo News Weekend News Magazine 06.12.2014

surprises, what treats! As Joe Gargery would say “what larks Pip, what larks!”

It was like Christmas; like opening presents because this was stuff that I haven’t seen for four years. It’s been tucked up in boxes and suddenly it’s mine again. It was actually better than opening some Christmas presents to be accurate, because these were things that I actually like, not things that you open on Christmas morning and have to pretend you like. I mean, these were things that I’d cared enough about to pack up and take with me, rather than binning or ditching or giving to Vinnies. Conversely, they were the things that didn’t make the cut to come with me to the landlady’s place, so they weren’t necessarily in the inner circle.

Of course I had made some interesting choices about what to store in boxes, some of those were less than wise.

There was the heat pack, filled with wheat laden with lavender oil. Somewhere on a farm at Geurie, there’s a family of mice who are convinced that wheat can be enhanced. I get a mental image of them sitting back smiling and saying “Man! That was some gnarly wheat!”

Special aromatic flavouring...

It actually took me a few minutes to work out what it was, that little strip of green velvet with the ribbons on either end, and the interesting tracery of delicate holes. Almost like velvet lace, if you can picture such a thing. And, believe me, green velvet lacework is not really my bag, so I really was scratching my head, trying to work out what on earth I’d been doing packing it into a box that was going to be stored in shearing shed.

Of course, once I realised it was a heat bag filled with wheat, well that made perfect sense.

Expect to hear a whole lot more about this exercise, as the unpacking continues. Thank God the wine glasses were stored at the top of that box.

In my book... it’s a moving experience

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Management consultant Natalie Bramble is as well known around the traps for her tireless community efforts and business acumen as for her unique and ready laugh. And you’d be surprised what she picks up around the ‘watercooler’ while she’s traversing this wide brown land in the name of work...

The Watercooler Rest in Peace, Phillip Hughes There was shock the world over last week with the death of batsman Phillip Hughes after a tragic accident during a match at the SCG. Millions the world over either put out their physical or virtual bats (even Google Australia did so) in a touching final nod to a great Australian cricketer.

Around 5,000 people celebrated his life earlier this week in his hometown of Macksville and Aussie cricket captain Michael Clarke’s leadership shone through – his tribute speech is being touted as the finest given by an Australian sportsman.

It’s good to see the respect and support being extended to Sean Abbott who bowled that fateful ball. Let’s hope that he can find inner peace in the coming years.

Isn’t it the way?

How many times have you heard of someone driving a new car off the lot only to have an accident hours later?

One owner will be thanking his foresight for obtaining insurance covering his friend as he sat in the passenger seat and had a front row seat to witness

his prize $400,000 Lamborghini being written off... don’t ya just hate how that happens?

Scene causes extremist stir Bollywood actress Veena Malik was sentenced to 26 years in jail recently – was it for a shockingly heinous crime against humanity? A grisly kidnap and murder?

Nope – a simple TV scene was enough for the actress to be handed what amounts to an almost life sentence. The “offending” scene depicted the prophet Mohammed’s daughter’s wedding which, in some factions, was deemed religiously inappropriate. Malik’s husband also received a sentence from an anti-terrorism court.

Thankfully she lives in Dubai and the sentence is only enforceable in Gilgit which is a small parcel of land between Pakistan and India. Ridiculous. But one thing’s for sure, Gilgit will never be on the couple’s travel schedule.

Capital conundrum As the federal government continues to contract all its departments by reducing

staff and outlets, Canberra faces a dilemma – what will it do with its vacant outdated infrastructure in the CBD that reeks of days gone by where it was all about paper pushing and the computer was giant wall of electronics operating in DOS?

Cyber attack security... sort of The notion of having a Chief of Cyber Security and a whole department leading the fight against cyber attacks should be reassuring, and was at least until said chief revealed they have no idea where 40 per cent of these attacks come from.

With around 900 cyber-security attacks on the government and major firms in Australia, that’s 360 of these coming from who knows where?

No place for a lady Based on media reports, most would agree that India is not the most safe of environments for girls and women, with almost weekly reports hitting the international press about female victims of crime, with next to nothing being done to bring the reported male perpetrators to justice.

The recent attack against a woman was recorded on live Indian TV with a male fan slapping a TV presenter for wearing a short silver backless dress. At least in this case he was actually charged for assault but it will take a lot more than that to change what seems to be an accepted culture in that country.

Why should individuals believe they can enforce their own perceptions of right and wrong on others? Most will agree on this point, but think on the last time you judged a person in the street for wearing something you believed was inappropriate. Isn’t that what you are doing?

What’s good for the goose Gotta love double standards. Women are up in arms about being sexualised and outraged by pictures of scantily clad women being shared around social media. Double standards on Facebook... surely not!

But there are regularly pictures of scantily clad men shared widely around the social network site – often by the same women who bemoan sexual harassment against women. Throwing stones from glass houses, much?

WHAT I DO KNOW

Stacey Exner: Life’s lessons She’s a wife, a mother to three teenagers, an active community member and the Principal of Dubbo College Delroy Campus, so Stacey Exner is one busy girl. Just don’t call this passionate educator Superwoman.

AS TOLD TO Jen Cowley PHOTOGRAPHY Kaitlyn Rennie I’ve always enjoyed being around people and I enjoy seeing success in others. From when I was young, I’ve always been involved with sport and with groups and community and leadership activities – I’d say I’m a people person.

And I knew, from a young age, that I’d be a teacher.

South Carolina, in the US, is where I was born – my father was a marine. He was on duty in Australia at the US embassy in Canberra when he met my mother. We moved permanently to Australia when I was about three, but I have dual citizenship – I actually didn’t become an Australian citizen until later in life.

I still feel an affinity with the US, although Australia is obviously home. We go back quite often to visit my brother – I’m a twin – and to see family. I’m very proud of my father serving his country and being involved in history.

My dad left the marines after he was called up to Vietnam for the third time – that’s when he decided he didn’t want to go back. When we were growing up in Canberra, my father never spoke about the war or any of his time as a marine. It was something we just knew we couldn’t talk about. After the day of the first Vietnam Veteran’s memorial service at the Canberra War Memorial, that’s when Dad felt he could finally talk about the war. There were so many things that happened when they went back from the war that made him feel he couldn’t talk about it.

Dad’s experiences have made me more conscious and aware of the effect of war on families – and how it can affect people for the rest of their lives. We lived with that for our youth. Dad was very strong, and I don’t think he suffered any mental health issues, but he just wouldn’t talk about it. It’s something that’s made me very interested in people’s stories and journeys.

Love brought me to Dubbo! I’d been a teacher in Canberra after leaving uni in Wollongong, and then my friend Leigh, who I’d been to uni with, was being married in Dubbo and I came here as her bridesmaid. I thought Dubbo was SO far west and couldn’t believe I was driving that far – I’d never been here before.

So that’s how I met Rob, who was a colleague of Leigh’s at St John’s College.

I did something that if my daughter ever does, I’ll kill her! I walked into my principal’s office and I resigned – and said “I’m moving to Dubbo.” I still can’t believe I threw in a great permanent job without having one to go to. I moved here with everything I owned in the back of a truck. I was lucky – I landed a permanent job as soon as I arrived here.

I wasn’t worried – I backed my skills.

I’d always worked – from when I was in school and right through uni, so I have a work ethic, and I was confident in my skills so I knew I’d be able to get work. My first permanent position was at Dubbo High School, then I was head

PDHPE teacher there for seven years before we moved to the College model.

Three children in four years made juggling work a bit tricky. But Rob and I have always been a great team; we’ve always supported each other, and I think you can only do that parenting/work thing if you have that supportive partner. I did have maternity leave for each of the children, but I always went back full time to work, and I had a great daycare mum who helped out when the children were young.

My mother always worked, and she showed me that you can balance the two – family and work – and do it well.

Quentin Bryce also inspires me and I remember her saying, “Women can have it all. They just can’t have it all at once” – and that’s so true. Now, I supervise 70 staff and I see young women who are trying to do it all – be a mother, work full time, be the netball coach... and they come into my office completely exhausted.

It’s all about prioritising. You have to concentrate on the things that matter at the time. My family is always number

one, and now my work, because of this job as Principal, also is a priority so I’ve backed off on a lot of other things I used to do and be involved in. I’m conscious of spreading myself too thin.

The myth of the super-woman really irritates me – because there’s no such thing. It’s a fallacy. I get quite irritated by people who say, gosh, you have it all, you do it all – and I go, well, it’s actually been strategic. I have to consciously prioritise. And you have to be selfish and say “no” sometimes. Once my children leave for university, I’ll have time to devote to other things and I’m looking forward to that, but right now, there are three teenagers who need me.

My philosophy on education is that every student can achieve success – no matter where they’ve come from, who their parents are and what their circumstance. And it’s up to the school to nurture that; to work out what that student’s passion is and to support that.

I’m such a believer in empowering young people to choose their own destiny and not have it created by where they’ve come from. Education is the

DUBBO WEEKENDER The Dubbo Photo News Weekend News Magazine 06.12.2014

key to that. It’s the most powerful tool to change lives, and especially for women. I’m very passionate about women’s education.

If you have strong educated women in the community, there is resilience and empowerment. Women don’t have to rely on anyone else, because they have skills. For example, they don’t feel like they have to stay in abusive relationships because of a lack of skills. Educated women don’t just accept their lot in life.

Strong young men are important in role modelling, but women in the community can make things move in the right direction. This is especially true when it comes to children. Now, you might say that is stereotyping, but I see it every day.

Empowering young women to find their pathway and be strong is so important in any community. When families break down, the children almost always go with their mothers or their grandmothers. If those mothers and grandmothers are strong and educated, those kids are fine.

The card for which Laurie Lawrence is hanging out for is from a mum he met 35 years ago.

Australia’s larrikin icon – the man who boasts a swimming stable of Olympic, Commonwealth and world Ccampionship gold medallists including the legendary Tracey Wickham, Steven Holland, Duncan Armstrong and Jon Sieben and who proudly hangs a Wallabies’ blazer and guernsey in his cupboard after touring New Zealand with the national rugby team – is inspired when the postie pops that card in his mailbox.

“Thirty five years ago, this woman’s daughter, four years of age, swam a length of the pool for the very first time. When she touched at the end I was jumping up and down and yelling like I did when Duncan won the Olympic 200m butterfly and I looked across the pool... numb!

Laurie’s poem:

“It’s the greatest thrill you’ll ever have...” Laurie Lawrence dedicated his inspiring “Olympic Dream” poem to Dubbo athlete Jane Fardell.

rence recalls. “I thought mum would be excited.

And there she is crying; tears streaming down her face. I rushed over... what’s wrong, what’s wrong?

“She said, Laurie, if only I did that for my other daughter. She was only four years of age when she drowned at a Christmas Party.”

The knockabout Aussie bloke fights back tears as he relates the story to me in an interview for a radio sports program recently during a visit to Dubbo.

“The mother told me, “she was dressed in a lovely long white dress when she fell in the pool at that party and she’s no longer with us. If I’d done this for her, she’d still be here”.”

And that, says the icon of Australian swimming, is what drives him.

“That’s why I am touring Australia with PoolWerx and running this program.”

T

he program of which Laurie Lawrence speaks, and for which he is in town for a few days is his renowned Kids Alive Water Safety drowning prevention for under-fives.

He arrives at the studio for our interview, carrying his latest series of books and a video that will go to every Early Learning Centre in Australia.

“There are four books and a video focussing on water safety at home, on the beach, in the pool and on the farm. They bring the message through stories, music and rhyme”, he says with characteristically bubbly enthusiasm, before launching into a recitation from one of his beautifully illustrated kids’ books about a little alien that’s come down to earth – Boo’s adventures at the pool.

“Long, long ago right among the stars lived a family of aliens quite close to Mars. A mother, a father, mischievous child Boo, who owned a big spaceship and it could fly too. Should I fly to Jupiter, Moon Earth or Sun? We’ll need food rolls for the journey, ‘worm rolls and a bun’!”

He adds in the animation, mimicking the kids’ reaction: “yuck, yuck, worm rolls! Who likes worm rolls?”

He’s throwing himself into his work now, as he continues to quote from his book: “And a kiss and a wave and away we go, Boo buckled up tight, started the engines and we were off on our flight.”

Lawrence tells how Boo comes down to earth, falls in the pool, is rescued by his two friends Lifesaver Lil and Wise Owl. Then he gets to the farm where “he’s well and truly engaged in the Aussie culture, a bit mischievous and doesn’t want to do anything”.

“Boo goes yabbying in dams, hangs around water troughs, runs to creeks and rivers and our book is about awareness of unforeseen dangers.”

L

awrence says Kids Alive has become quite personal and that he’s determined to get the message into the home of every new born in Australia.

“Thanks to Australia Post, which has agreed to deliver our package to every Day Care Centres, every mother’s group, every playgroup as well as every School of the Air, we have gone from 25,000 to 82,000!

“It’s an enormous project. We only started posting materials in the past couple of weeks. These books are my Christmas gift to kids around the country.”

Lawrence says the figures show that the program works.

“When we get out and push it, when we promote it, the number of drowning’s goes down.

“We first started this in 2000, the year of the Sydney Olympics, when 63 kids drowned in Australia.

He also pops into the annual Dubbo Sports Awards and brings the house down with a heartfelt tribute to our Olympic athletes, framing his poem for the occasion around our own Jane Fardell who was the guest speaker.

Fardell has an imposing resume, having already chalked up World Junior Triathlon titles, national cross country gold medals, competed internationally as a professional triathlete and last year wore the green and gold for Australia in the World Championship marathon.

Ever positive and enthusiastic, he urges Fardell to follow her Olympic dream and promises he’ll “see her in Rio!”

“I think we’ll put in a ‘lympic bid, said, Nick Frank Greiner But the critics laughed and rolled their eyes – ”But ya can’t beat China!

There’s a billion people over there Against 20 million, it’s just not fair!”

But the dream was set, we had a plan To execute it you need a man Of vision, strength, integrity – Well Coatesy’s the bloke, we’ll win you’ll see.

So he gathered around him a sensational team Each one sharing the Olympic dream.

And then Samaranch announced “The winner is Sydernee...”

Oh, I could feel it tickle me old left kidney.

Premier Fahey he jumped high in the air He landed two feet and back-flipped a chair.

But the knockers about they failed to applaud it, Screaming abuse – “We can’t afford it!”

But in a million homes across this land Kids dreamed their Olympic dreams ‘Bout putting on their tracksuits and everything it means; About staying on and doing more when all the rest went home; The seed they’d sown had taken root, they’d soldiered on alone ‘Cause it takes a special kind of kid With a ton of guts and heart To find that little extra bit that’s needed from the start.

To find a dream and chase it, letting nothing bar your way And the Olympics call a chosen few To come and cross the line For all those years of blood and sweat To finally say, it’s time!

And across Australia Precious few have made that walk To face the acid test ‘Cause thousands try to represent But we only take the best.

You kids out there, get down to work Push the pedal!

The greatest thrill you’ll ever have Is to win Olympic medal!

“Jane, all the best. I’ll see you in Rio”

“ We first started this in 2000, when 63 kids drowned in Australia.

Last year, 20.

Some people say 20’s great – 20 is not great; 20 is 20 kids too many losing their lives.”

December 3 marked the 50th anniversary of the day 10-year-old Gary Beggs almost drowned while trying to save his six-year-old sister Judy after she was sucked down a drainage pipe at the Bondi Baths. The pair spoke of revisiting the accident site and reuniting with one of their rescuers.

As told to Natalie Holmes Gary Beggs:

I

was no hero but what I can recall is that I thought my sister was going to drown and I thought I would save her. It was an instinct. I didn’t learn until later that she didn’t get stuck. My recollections are fairly succinct. We were having a good time as a family (on holidays). We all grew up swimming so we were all proficient swimmers. There was never an issue as far as water safety or drowning was concerned.

But I saw Judy in trouble and she disappeared into this drain pipe. Not being able to find her or see her legs or part of her body was frightening. Then I became dragged into the pipe and was stuck underwater. I don’t recall what happened next; I presume I blacked out and I was unconscious. I was underwater for quite a long period of time. They said that I was actually clinically dead when they got me out. But all I recall is waking up in a hospital bed. They had worked on me in emergency but it wasn’t terrifying for me until I woke up. I remember very clearly the memory of lying in a hospital bed and hearing a radio news broadcast of a kid who’d drowned, or almost drowned at Bondi, and that was me. I burst into tears when I heard that.

There was a cage surrounding my body because it was scraped from head to toe from being in the pipe. There was even talk that I’d been in an iron lung but I’m not sure about that.

I’ve never really thought about it too much but every year since then, Jude

16

will say, “today’s our anniversary”.

I mean, people have accidents all the time, it’s just one of those things.

We didn’t die, we were lucky. When we went back to Bondi 50 years later and reunited with one of my rescuers (Les Hawkins) he wasn’t able to communicate very well because he’d had a stroke.

Judy had arranged to meet up with him at Bondi Icebergs and we met his wife too. She had collected memories of his time as a lifesaver and there we were among them. I was 10 when he was 29.

He rode in the ambulance to hospital with me, working on me. He was still in his swimmers only and covered in my blood. After he handed me over, he went outside and attempted to get a lift back to the Bondi Baths. Fortunately, a police officer stopped and picked him up. I never knew that before we met for the second time.

That meeting was very emotional for all of us. Judy decided to get this medal made up for him and bought his wife flowers, and we all had a luncheon together. I was emotional and so was Les, my rescuer.

I’d like to think that because I could have been dead, I’ve lived life to the fullest but I’m a product of my environment. My mum is a worrier and so am I. Judy and I have always had a strong relationship, with me being the oldest and her being the youngest of four. It came naturally. There was a while there when she would do anything for me. I’d ask for a drink and she’d jump.

She has acknowledged me as her brother and I was a hero to her. It’s a

great way to have a good relationship with your sister; you don’t want the adulation but it’s there anyway.

In the scheme of things, I didn’t consider it a huge deal. I mean, if I’d rescued her, then yeah, but I didn’t finish the job. Judy looks up to me and she’s pretty proud that I’ve moved around and advanced with my work. She does have more self-confidence than I do and she’s much more social than I am and does it particularly well. I look up to her in that regard. She’s also very well-liked and respected. I was also lucky enough to meet and marry a lady (Ann) who’s become very good friends with my sister. We will always be close, there’s definitely a bond there.

Judy Firth:

W

hen we went swimming, I just happened to get into the water first. I remember coming out of the pipe and I couldn’t walk properly because my feet were cut. Everywhere was cut except for under my swimmers.

It happened so quickly, but I didn’t cry until a lady came along with a white towel and I saw all the blood on my body. If it had been high tide, I would have been sucked out to sea so we were lucky it was low tide.

We were always swimming growing up and we’d go to the pool a lot. Gary used to swim four laps of the pool without taking a breath. I guess that was something that helped him to survive, being able to hold his breath underwater. I remember when they said he died,

DUBBO WEEKENDER The Dubbo Photo News Weekend News Magazine 06.12.2014

and I was sitting on Dad’s knee in the back of the ambulance when they were pumping his stomach.

When we arranged to go back to Bondi, we thought we’d go back and celebrate so I rang Bondi Icebergs and told them we were coming down. I didn’t know if there would be anyone around who knew us.

We found out that Les Hawkins had been the one that kept Gary alive and we decided that it was definitely worth meeting him. It was an emotional meeting. He welled up with tears, Gary welled up and Ann bawled.

I was really glad we did it, it was lovely. Les was nice and so was his wife. And it was just good to hear. We also got to meet Les’ son, John, who’s the manager of Icebergs. A young journalist named Chris Harris also wrote an article about our anniversary, his first in the Sydney Morning Herald.

The fact that we survived, it’s all turned out well. Gary has a lot of scars on his body and so do I; I had to have a few stitches in my head and knee. Gary was also given an honorary membership of the Bondi Diggers and a medal for bravery which I lost at school.

I had been back to Bondi. I went there a few years ago with a friend who lived in Sydney.

I’ve always looked up to Gary. I wrote a poem for him about 10 years ago. He didn’t save me, but he tried and that’s what counts. He probably wouldn’t say this but I see him as a confident person.

We have this special bond that can’t be broken.

PROFILE

A healing, helping hand It’s often said that “ambulance officer” is Australia’s most trusted profession, but while the “ambos” are looking after us, who’s looking after them? People like the Reverend Paul McFarlane – that’s who. Meet NSW Ambulance’s Senior Chaplain. AS TOLD TO Jen Cowley PHOTOGRAPHY Hayley Ferris

How did you come to your faith and then to the service of NSW Ambulance?

I grew up as the son of a paramedic, and I came initially to my faith through the Anglican Church at Moree, where I grew up.

When I left home, I studied nursing at the University of New England, and was involved with the ministry of the University. I remember having a discussion with one of the chaplains at the university about the frustrations of shift-work and being away from home and not being able to get to church. And she said, “Why don’t you think about becoming a minister?” It was the first time that had ever occurred to me, so clearly she saw something in me that I hadn’t seen in myself in terms of caring for people through ministry. That was the first seed planted.

I worked part time in nursing and part time in the ministry for a few years – then I decided to study full time to become an Anglican priest. I worked in the Tamworth region as a priest for a number of years, and during that time, an opportunity came up to offer a chap-

“ We’ll have spiritual conversations or discussions if people invite that, but first and foremost we’re there for support. laincy service to the local paramedics – and given my nursing and health background and my father having been a paramedic, it all just seemed like a natural fit.

That was 13 years ago – and three years ago, the position came up for Senior Chaplain with NSW Ambulance, and we moved to Sydney so I could take up the position.

What are some of the things you do on a day-to-day basis?

I manage a team of about 30 volunteer chaplains across the state, so much of the role is co-ordinating the chaplains and their welfare, which is important too because they’re volunteers and in this role we often see some pretty tragic and traumatic things in the line of helping to care for the community.

I’m also involved with training paramedics and 000 call-takers to look after themselves with stress management and resilience building, and with training paramedics in how to deal with grieving people and how to support those people when someone dies. I’m also at our state headquarters, so people will often drop in and see me if they have issues in their lives, or sadness or things they need to talk about.

I’m an available resource, if you like, for our people.

Also, I’m called on to respond to some of the incidents that happen around our state – as a support person for our staff and volunteers and the community. We do help with the welfare of community members – for instance, when a child dies or there’s a suicide and perhaps they need support in those early hours of their grief as they wait for family or friends to arrive.

So it’s quite a varied role – you never know from day to day what you’ll be doing.

That makes it interesting.

You’ve been involved in some traumatic experiences, then.

Yes. You’d be aware in recent months of the explosion that happened at Rozelle where the shop was blown up and the baby and mum and another gentleman were killed – I was involved with supporting our staff through that and I was at the scene for a number of hours with our crews and fire fighters and police officers. It was a very sad thing.

But what I found interesting about that is how much the emergency services personnel all appreciated having a chaplain there.

Many times, people said, “Thank you, Padre, for coming down” or “Thank you, Chaplain, for being here.” I think there was a sense that they are cared for in the midst of such a traumatic and tragic situation.

I suppose it doesn’t matter, in an instance like that, whether or not they have “faith”.

No, not at all. That’s an intriguing thing, isn’t it? In a world that’s becoming, in some ways, more secular, many people are not particularly religious or spiritual people, but there’s something about chaplaincy that

18

resonates with them. There’s something about the care we provide and the concern that we bring that reaches them. As much as anything, I think, it’s a sense of saying that we’re here for you; we care about you.

We know this is tough. And from my point of view, I see that as representing the living God who does care about people. We’ll have spiritual conversations or discussions if people invite that, but first and foremost we’re there for support. People know they can trust us as safe people to talk to – we’re not judgemental. It’s all confidential. We’re just there to make sure they’re okay. People need to know there’s someone there watching their backs on those tough days.

So it’s emotional care you provide as much as, or more than, pastoral care?

It is. It’s psychological first aid. It’s a broad role, which makes it very interesting and also gives it a broad appeal – it’s not spiritual counselling unless that’s invited; it’s just to be a support.

Conventional wisdom says there are certain stages of grief, one of which is anger.

When there is trauma and tragedy do you see that anger directed at “God”?

Sometimes, yes. But what we often see, and I’m not sure what the words are, but I think our paramedics feel things are not fair, not right. It’s not how things should be in the world; “these are good people, why did it happen to them?” or “it was a child” or “these people didn’t deserve this”.

It challenges their view of the world. They might blame God, but more broadly, there’s the anxiety of feeling things are just not right. As a chaplain, you’re equipped to have that conversation – you may not have all the answers but at least you’re a “safe” person with whom to raise that frustration and anger, and hopefully get some kind of discussion going to help get through those emotions.

Sometimes I imagine the job, and what your people see in their line of work, could challenge faith.

That’s certainly true sometimes. But I think it can also strengthen and promote faith. There are times we see and experience things that, from a human point of view, there seems to be something else at work – either a happenstance, or a circumstance where the odds are against us, but something happens that protects or preserves life or makes things not as bad as they could have been. And at a human level you can’t always explain that, so sometimes there’s a sense that someone or something “bigger” than us is looking out for us. I think paramedics see that often – and they have that sense that we’re not alone in this universe and there’s more to this life than meets the eye. Often, amid the doom and gloom, there are some amazing things that happen too – things that save people’s lives in the midst of otherwise terrible situations and they’re things that, on a human level,

DUBBO WEEKENDER The Dubbo Photo News Weekend News Magazine 06.12.2014

can’t be explained.

The “what ifs” and the unanswered questions are the hardest to deal with – as chaplains, we don’t have answers to everything that happens in the universe but I think we do have a framework for thinking things through.

You are there to care for others. Who helps care for you?

I have a number of close friends who work in a similar field, and we see each other regularly and support each other.

They’re only a phone call away. I have colleagues at work who check in on me regularly and I have close family and friends who do the same thing. I see a psychologist once a month for supervision and support if I need it and that’s always helpful.

Really, as much as anything, I do as I encourage others to do – have a life outside work. Have friends, and interests. In my work I see a lot of “badness” but I also have other things outside work that are good. I read, I go to church, I’m involved with soccer and sport and I have my family and friends. There are things I do outside work to try to maintain balance so it’s not all doom and gloom. There is a lot of joy and love in my life as well.

You’ve been involved with RUOK Day – and you were in Dubbo recently as part of that involvement. Tell me how you came to be on board.

I became involved about two and a half years ago when we decided, as an organisation, that we would support the RUOK Day message, and help promote that in the community and among our staff. NSW Ambulance is very much a health provider and we often see a lot of people with mental health issues – depression and anxiety – and of course, suicide is something we’re called to regularly. From memory, it’s about six people a day in Australia die from suicide, and I think it’s about 22 actively attempt suicide. So sadly, paramedics every day are going to homes and businesses where these things are happening so I personally think anything we can do to help individuals in the community – to help look after ourselves as well as our colleagues – has to be a good thing.

The RUOK message is a fantastic one – just to keep an eye on your mates; ask how they’re travelling. And if you DO see people struggling – if you see some changes, or you sense that they’re not coping as well as they usually would or if they’re less connected with friends and family – then that’s a good opportunity to ask if they’re okay and to help them get assistance if they need it. Keeping an eye on your mates is the key message. The more of that we do in our community the better off we’ll all be. >> If you, or someone you care about, is in need of help, contact Lifeline on 131114, or in an emergency, dial 000.

Business in changing times with Phil Comerford, Scolari Comerford Dubbo

Can you get a tax break for studying while working?

I F you work and incurred work-related self-education expenses, you may be eligible for a tax deduction.

For self-education expenses to be taxdeductible, there must be a “sufficient connection” between your current employment and the course you undertake. Generally, you are more likely to be eligible to claim deductions if you work and study at the same time and your situation falls into one or more of the following categories: l You are upgrading your qualifications for your current job. l You are improving the knowledge needed for your current job. l You are a trainee and the course is part of your traineeship. l Your course led, or is likely to lead, to an increase in salary.

The tax office interprets the “sufficient connection” requirement for eligibility strictly. For example, if the course you undertake is generally related to your current position but the job does not require the knowledge you gained from the course, then you cannot deduct self-education expenses. Please consult your tax adviser for more information in your situation.

Provided there is a sufficient connection between your course of study and employment at the time you incurred the expenses, examples of deductible self-education expenses include: l Tuition fees; l Textbooks and professional journals; l Stationary; l Computer expenses; and l Accommodation and meals if the course requires you to be away from home.

This list is far from exhaustive. Also, there are complications and specific rules for certain items. For example, some tuition fees are deductible, some are not. Please consult your adviser for details. Below is a list of some of the more complex deductible self-education expenses and their related rules.

COMPUTER EXPENSES You can only claim the work-related study portion of computer expenses.

For example, interest on money borrowed to purchase the computer, costs of repair, and depreciation are deductible only to the extent the computer was used for work-related study and not private use. Your tax adviser can explain the rules for apportionment.

Generally, computer upgrades are not repairs and therefore not deductible.

However, you may claim the cost of an upgrade as part of the depreciation of the computer. Consult your tax adviser

for the depreciation schedules.

INTEREST ON BORROWINGS If you borrowed money to pay for deductible self-education expenses, you can claim a tax deduction for the interest on the loan.

DEPRECIATION The tax office generally allows depreciation deductions for assets that have a limited life and are expected to decline in value over time. Examples of assets for which you can claim depreciation deductions if they are used for work-related study purposes include: l Computers; l Professional libraries; l Desks, chairs, desk lamps, filing cabinets, bookshelves; and l Tools and other equipment.

Depreciation expenses are complex and there are various ways they can be calculated depending on the type of assets. Consult your adviser in order to maximise your eligible deduction.

ACCOMMODATION AND MEALS Accommodation and meals are generally considered private and not deductible. However, if you participate in work-related study and are required to be away from home for one or more nights, you can usually claim the cost of accommodation and meals.

HOME STUDY EXPENSES If you have a room set aside for workrelated study purposes, you may be able to claim depreciation and repair expenses related to home office furniture. You may also be able to claim a portion of the utility expenses for the period you use the home office for work-related study. Alternatively, the tax office allows you to use a fixed rate per hour of usage instead of keeping individual costs for the expenses above.

TRAVEL EXPENSES When you use a car or public transport, you can generally deduct the cost of travelling to and from your place of education. But the rule is quite complicated. For example, you cannot deduct the cost of the last stage of your travel: l From home to your place of education and then to work; and l From work to your place of education and then to your home.

If you use public transport, keep a record of the fares paid. If you use a car, you can use one of four methods to calculate your travel expenses. Your tax adviser can provide all of the details.

COMMENT

Scheduling time to reflect on the good ol’ days

I

was talking to a friend recently about how busy our schedules get around this time of year, and in particular how busy things get when you add children and their weekly timetable into the fray. It had always been a promise of my younger childless self to my current middle-aged parenting self, that I would never allow the timetable of my children to get out of hand by doing too many things. (Incidentally, I had also promised that my kids weren’t going to become slaves to the TV screen). It seems nothing draws the hypocrite out in you like parenthood.

In my 25 year-old mind my kids were going to have two things (maximum) they would do/be a part of outside school time.

This would save us from the hours of travel time constantly shuttling from venue to venue, juggling clashing appointments on the calendar and passing some family members like ships in the night. This was the frantic life pattern I had seen in friends and family that I couldn’t equate to a better life for any of the parties involved – from my safe perspective as an isolated but interested spectator.

Sixteen years have passed and I’m not sure whether my current self or the 25 year old me deserves the firmer slap.

James the Younger talked big with little pressure to actually deliver. James the Elder and (arguably) wiser finds himself caught in a trap and wondering how the hell we got to this point. With three excellent sons who run similar but not identical programs, my wife and I find ourselves with at least one or two boxes to tick pretty much each and every day. I don’t remember this being a problem for my parents in 1984, so what happened

to us? Why did we feel the need to fill our week with organised stuff in 2014?

Why don’t my kids enjoy the childhood I reflect upon so fondly, and why am I so hell-bent on destroying theirs with... fill?

Parents, are you hearing me?

I guess the answers lie in the understanding that any resemblance of 2014 to 1984 is purely co-incidental. We all tend to reflect on our own good old days (whatever stage of life that might have been), to a time in our lives when accountability was minimal, when we felt most secure in ourselves and because of that we often forget what was worst about those days.

I remember days of endless summer, living outside until dark, wandering the streets of Smalltown in country NSW. Saturday morning cricket was fun and it happened without getting in the way of me and mine playing armies in a vacant block or deciding the winner of the Bathurst 1000 on our bikes around an old, run down servo, or just seeing what treasures we could find at the tip.

Of course, 30 years ago, a 43°C day outside meant 43°C inside as well, with only a pedestal fan to give the illusion of cool respite, when really it just stirred up the dust from the dining room dresser as it moved hot air from point A to point B. Given a ducted recycled air-con unit to replicate a cool spring morning on a hot summer’s day, 1984 may have looked very different, from my comfortable and permanent position spread-eagled in our lounge room.

Sunscreen was as annoying in 1984 to put on as it is today, but there was also the ridiculous yet widespread idea of a “healthy sunburn” back then. Kids’ TV

was for only two hours a day, and grownups TV involved two people in suits sitting in armchairs across from each other, just talking... that’s all. One of them had a whole clipboard of questions, which suggested they were going to be a while, so there was no point hanging around waiting for the dancing girls. And mass media wasn’t really a thing, back then.

We just had urban myths and old wives tales, so stories of bad things happening to other kids had that element of “yeah, but not in our town”. Now we have the photos and video proof uploaded in an instant, so now we can all have a familiar “close account” with all the evils of what happens to the unguarded youth of the world. There is so much danger out there to fear today, and the big bad wolf lurks on every street corner. Public liability has shot up at a rate just slower than that which you can erect an eight foot fence, and our kids can now happily play anywhere at all, just so long as the area is lined with “soft-fall” matting and the equipment has no sharp corners.

There are simply too many reasons for the kids to hang out at home and indoors.

So “discerning” parents such as my wife and I watch our kids rotting in front of the TV and computer games, we panic and organise for a regular, weekly “thing” for them to do to compensate for not being born in “the good old days”, something to get them out of the house and active. And when a mate is doing another different thing that looks good, we sign our kids up to join their team – after all it’s just one more thing.

Then of course music/dance/bronze sculpting/decoupage are a chance for

them to exercise their hidden talent; they’ll need to join another thing class (what are we up to, three now?), on top of swimming lessons (four) and the social support group (five), and,... bugger, we are well and truly on the treadmill and we’re cranking it up yea verily.

There are just so many things on offer for kids today. A child can carry a black belt in tae kwon jujitsu, travel all over the Central West for soccer, represent their country in gymnastics, gain their quilting badge and play the bassoon at 6th grade proficiency, all by the age of nine if they’re prepared to show some spunk and commit a little. And that’s aside from holiday activities. A child could carry a weekly agenda like Barack Obama’s. Is it any wonder that mental health is becoming a key issue in children and adolescents?

The lament of my generation is something of a paradox. We want our kids to have the luxury of free play time but it’s no longer something that “just happens” as we remembered it did. So we compensate for the misgivings of the modern age because free play today for kids is not like it used to be. We line them up for organised this and organised that, each with its structure and rules to prevent any knocks and bumps. We tend to fall into the trap of over-committing our kids because we don’t want to risk not recognising their talent, missing that golden opportunity. And perhaps we want our kids to commit to all the things we, ourselves missed out on, because our parents let us waste so much of our time just hanging out when we were young.

I wonder what our kids will lament for the generation to come.

I’m dreaming of a redneck Christmas, y’all

F

our family fights, three drunken falls, two barking dogs and fire in my half dead pear tree...

Christmas is a perfect time of year.

Quality family time, perfectly wrapped presents, stunningly set tables filled with a Gordon Ramsay style feast... or at least that’s how it is in the Myer catalogue.

I have a regular catch up with a close group of friends every year after Christmas and from the descriptions of everyone’s holiday wrap-ups I have to say, in reality it’s more like a cross between Survivor, a UFC cage fight and holidays with Roseanne Barr!

This year we have decided to skip any pretence that it’s all going to look like a Walton’s Christmas card and just have a Red-necked themed holiday. You can take the girl out of the country but apparently you can’t really take the country out of the girl. There will be carved watermelon baskets, things wrapped in bacon, fruit filled with alcohol, a Santa dress like Elvis and Christmas music provided by Garth Brooks.

With that in mind this is our Redneck Christmas Survival Guide: 1. Decorations Don’t be so obsessed with everything looking so perfect that the kids are not able to help. They are the ones who ac-

tually enjoy Christmas, so if they want to hang something from the ceiling that you think looks ridiculous but they love, let them do it. They aren’t going to be little for long. My toddler, like most kids her age, is Frozen obsessed. I asked her what she wanted: to build a snowman.

The temperature was over 40 that day so with real snow not being an option, we bought four old tyres, some white paint and a few other bits a pieces and (much to the dismay of the neighbours) made a snowman on the front lawn and covered him is Christmas lights. My three year old helped with all the painting and she

was so proud of herself.

2. Presents We spend so much time running around before the holidays buying things we aren’t even sure the other person wants or needs, just so there’s something wrapped under the tree. Our wallet’s getting thinner or credit card debt getting bigger with every visit. Of course you should buy for the kids but let’s be honest, there is nothing I really want that I wouldn’t buy for myself during the year. The year of the Boxing Day Tsunami, we were watching to coverage on the news and as ever hour ticked over and the number of lives lost rose as we sat in air conditioned comfort surrounded by wrapping paper and leftover food all the trinkets seemed less important. That day without a word, each of my relatives picked up the phone and made a donation to the relief effort. Every year since, the adults in the family have purchased Oxfam cards that send a goat or a chicken to a family that needs it.

3. The Relatives No matter what you do over the holidays, long held resentments people have been keeping a lid on all year are going to boil over. Your great aunt is going to end up in tears after her fourth gin because no one is eating her chicken vol-au-vents, something you spent hours

preparing is going to get burned. There will be bumps, scratches and bruises, either from cousins pushing each other over or some drunken fool falling off their chair or tripping over their own feet. Your sister’s idiot boyfriend, will start the wood burning BBQ with petrol because fire lighters just won’t do the trick. Relationships will be breaking up and reforming around you like you’re an extra in a Shakespearean play. Just grab a stack hat and a big glass of wine and be comforted by the fact that all this is happening in every house in the country.

We lost my uncle, very unexpectedly earlier this year and with him in mind, this is my holiday advice. Yes, you will inevitably end up swearing under your breath about something or someone (or a combination of both) but these are the times you will remember. Make the most of it. The less perfect it is, the more likely it is to turn into a story you’ll tell around the dinner table for years to come. These are the people you will miss the most when they are gone.

I was looking for gems of Redneck Wisdom to help you though the holidays and the best I could come up with is this: “If everything’s coming your way... you’re in the wrong lane.”

Be nice to each other. Happy Holidays, y’all!

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Greg Smart

Greg Smart is a pop culture outcast who avoids commercial television and bad coffee. He has been accused of being old before his time.

Need a musical re-tune? Take a Lake Street Dive

W

hat do you get when you combine four musicians with college degrees in jazz music, a shared love of Motown soul, British Invasion rock, 60s R&B and Blues?

You get the antidote to the malaise of current commercial pop music – you get the band Lake Street Dive.

Named for a neighbourhood of seedy bars in his home town of Minneapolis, guitarist/trumpet player Mike Olsen picked three follow students studying jazz at the New England Conservatory in Boston – Singer Rachael Price, upright bass player Bridget Kearney and drummer Mike Calabrese – to come together and share their eclectic music tastes and love of performing.

In the 10 years it has taken Lake Street Dive to become an overnight success, they’ve variously been described as an alternative-country jazz band, an indie soul-jazz group and a pop soul quartet.

All disparate categories but this makes them all the more beguiling.

So, difficult to pigeon hole, but the talent is obvious and the work ethic deep.

Rather than the modern path to pop stardom – you know, audition for X Factor/Idol/Talent, screech your lungs out, release a single, appear at shopping centres and on breakfast television then

fade to obscurity – Lake Street Dive did it the old fashioned way, by touring. And touring. And touring.

Ten years and five albums later, they still perform around 150 gigs per year across the USA, and further afield with each passing year.

Music lovers really took notice in 2012, when a video filmed of the band performing its jazz/blues infused cover of The Jackson 5’s I Want You Back was tweeted by actor Kevin Bacon.

Now with more than 2.5 million views (including quite a few of mine,) this video was the boost they needed for the release of their latest album Bad Self Portraits in 2013. They toured this album extensively, from small clubs to music festivals, and gained further credibility when they were asked to share a New York stage with Joan Baez, Patti Smith and Jack White among others.

Somewhat ironically, US Rolling Stone magazine named them the best new band for 2014. Fame had arrived.

Bands are often greater than the sum of their parts, but the parts of Lake Street Dive are all great in their own right.

Lead singer Rachael Price – born in Australia and raised in Nashville – has a past rooted in serious jazz and has been compared with jazz legends Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James. Her voice hits like a wall of divine sound, more nuanced than Amy Winehouse and delivered with a sultry swagger. Able to belt out a blues ballad or an upbeat pop treat and anything in between, her voice is an instrument of joy that makes any auto-tuned pop starlet pale in comparison.

Upright bass player Bridget Kearney drives the band, her virtuoso bass playing the equal of any in the jazz or blues world. Mike Olsen, one of those overachieving multi-instrumentalist types, alternates between rocking guitar and serious trumpet ability. Drummer Mike Calabrese has percussion skills such as drum stick in one hand and tambourine in the other, whilst providing vocal harmonies as tight as a drum.

“ Bands are often greater than the sum of their parts, but the parts of Lake Street Dive are all great in their own right. ”

Combine all the parts, and I know of no other band that can slip effortlessly between breezy pared-back pop (Clear a Space), Motown soul (Use Me Up), sultry jazz (Be Cool), rockabilly stomp (Henriette) and harmonic blues (What About Me).

Dig a bit deeper, and the band gives off a vibe that shows they’re not afraid to experiment even further with other people’s songs, such as turning Hall and Oates classic Rich Girl into a rollicking jazz piece and George Michael’s Faith’ into a stripped-back funk foot-tapper.

Showing they truly have a great musical sense of humour, each year the band puts out a Halloween video of their reworking of a boy-girl-boy-girl band hit (think The Mamas & the Papas, Abba, Starland Vocal Band), further proving their lyrical prowess. Their version of Fleetwood Mac’s Second Hand News, filmed when just goofing around is something to behold.

All the while exuding a sense of fun that seems long forgotten in the modern pop world. With Lake Street Dive, there is no money grab or shallow attempt at fame. There is musical smarts guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Lake Street Dive is touring Australia in February/March 2015.

PROFILE

With the announcement that Dubbo is set to host an arts festival bigger than Ben Hur, Regional Arts NSW CEO Elizabeth Rogers popped into town to discuss art, audience and our Aboriginal heritage. Words Natalie Holmes PHOTOGRAPHY Kaitlyn Rennie

I

t’s a hot spring day that’s followed a blistering weekend on the dry and dusty plains of the Orana region. Elizabeth Rogers has arrived in the city from Sydney, but is tired of ice-cold conditioning and asks if a slightly warmer location can be used for this initial meeting.

Ironically, the day’s roasting conditions are in stark contrast to a statement Rogers will make that “Dubbo is becoming cool”. (I’m secretly wishing for the cooling effects of Willis Carrier’s incredible invention but happy to oblige her as a visitor.)

We’re at the Fire Station Arts Centre, a fitting venue for the chief executive officer of Regional Arts NSW, who’s in Dubbo to chat with stakeholders about a recent announcement which is set to redefine the area’s art culture; the news that Dubbo will host the 2016 Regional Arts Australia (RAA) conference, Artlands.

Described as part-conference, part-festival, all arts; the biennial gathering is a drawcard for artists and those employed in the arts sector as an opportunity for networking and sharing ideas.

It’s organised through each state’s chief arts body and regional organisation with assistance from local councils and arts groups.

In this case, Regional Arts NSW is driving the initial development in conjunction with Orana Arts and Dubbo City Council. Dubbo 2016 also includes the introduction of the Artlands brand to be used for all future RAA conferences.

It’s a big deal in the art world and set to bring up to 1000 people into the community for four days, from October 27 to 30, 2016, where they will soak up the local culture and immerse themselves in what Dubbo has to offer.

Accustomed to criss-crossing the state for her job, the elegant and well-spoken yet down-to-earth Rogers has recently returned from Western Australia, where the official handover was made by 2014 host, the gold mining centre of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

Their conference bore the name Arts on the Edge and served as a showcase for the area’s multicultural diversity and blossoming arts scene. No doubt it will do the same locally and Dubbo’s selection marks the summit’s return to the east coast of Australia for the first time in 14 years, and the first time ever for this region.

“The RAA conference is held in a different state every two years. The last time it was in NSW was Albury 2002,” Rogers explains.

“This is a national conference but the regions have a lot of art to offer in NSW and a very strong voice. In terms of scope, this is the biggest gathering for artists, art workers and bureaucrats in the country. There will be people from all over the country in Dubbo.”

The establishment of regional arts bodies, including the extensive network of 14 Regional Arts Boards, has given NSW a sophisticated edge over other states. Dubbo’s emergence as a vibrant arts community and cultural hub for the Central West placed it as an immediate frontrunner for the hosting rights.

“NSW is the only state with this evolved model,” Rogers says proudly.

“Regional Arts initially met a need to take art and cultural production to the public. But regional communities have grown and there

30

became a greater demand for local communities to generate art development.”

Rogers is expecting the event to be significant in Dubbo, which was chosen for its existing infrastructure, community support and an invigorating arts movement.

“After consultation with colleagues, Dubbo was identified as the best place to hold this conference for a number of reasons.

“It’s recognised that the council and ratepayers have contributed a significant amount to establishing top quality arts infrastructure such as Western Plains Cultural Centre and Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. And for the region to have access to metropolitan-standard cultural buildings is outstanding. The support from council has also been terrific – it has done a lot to make Dubbo a very friendly city.”

Rogers also describes how the summit links the gap between regional and metropolitan areas in the field of art.

“We were looking for a different landscape and thoughts turned to our inland cities. “I was very keen to showcase one of our regional cities, and in Dubbo, there was a vibrant arts community we felt could help build on this event and would have the capacity to leave a legacy.”

According to Rogers, it doesn’t matter which branch of the arts is dominant, it’s about getting people involved.

“It’s about engaging with the local arts community and redefining what we are about, what we are feeling and continuing the support – it doesn’t matter what sort of arts involvement we have.”

Asked about the desire to bring art makers and collaborators together for the conference, Rogers points out that art is always for the people more so than the artist. And those who become immersed by any art-form need peers and collaborators in order to bounce around their ideas.

“You need an audience; you’re telling a story, they’re not doing it for themselves. A novelist is writing for a reader so it’s no different across other areas of the arts.

“Some art processes can be quite lonely, particularly in this day and age where we work alone and don’t get into the same room with people, and we communicate differently.”

I

n Dubbo, there is already a strong emphasis on getting artmakers together, for classes, workshops and cultural forums.

There is also a powerful connection for indigenous creators, connecting with each other and their audiences. That strength was another resounding voice for bringing Artlands to Dubbo and taking art back to a grassroots level.

The handover to Dubbo from Kalgoorlie had a visible Aboriginal theme and included a welcome from Wiradjuri elder, Uncle Stan Grant who presented elders of the Wongatha people with gifts. The female elders also received a friendship pouch and carry bag made from hand-dyed raffia and woven by the Hands on Weavers from Wagga Wagga.

The male elders were given a ‘Yinyamarra Murra-way’ wooden carving, a collaborative piece designed by Robert Perrin, carved by Malcolm Morris and finished by Dylan Goolagong from the Dubbo area.

“Having an indigenous Aboriginal program

“ I was very keen to showcase one of our regional cities, and in Dubbo, there was a vibrant arts community we felt could help build on this event and would have the capacity to leave a legacy.

is really important in regional Australia, not just NSW. “So we’re very excited to be planning this conference and arts festival in Dubbo and in particular the Aboriginal arts program that will be a highlight of Artlands 2016,” Rogers enthuses.

“It’s a key part of the organisation.”

Rogers also believes in recognising the many cultures that exist beneath the great Australian sun, and that our art culture reflects that.

“I think there’s something really amazing about the Australian landscape in all its forms and it’s important that we identify, as Australians, that we are now a land of many varied beliefs and backgrounds.

“And there are so many great outcomes happening for people who are given the confidence to explore themselves through their own culture. It goes a long way towards helping to build long-term relationships. We’re always trying to maintain a certain level of support across regional NSW.” Asked if the arts receives enough financial support from the State Government, Rogers says she believes it does, although the door will always be held open for further funding.

“The pool of funding is fairly static.

“The calibre of applications is increasing all the time so there’s a lot of unmet needs. “It’s a complex process.”

And are we at a disadvantage, from an arts perspective, when placed alongside our city counterparts?

“I think there are challenges, but not in Dubbo. Dubbo is becoming cool and people are realising that. I think the challenges lay in the smaller and other regional communities where just getting a grant application uploaded can be a problem.

“There’s a great centre of population in the major capital cities and there’s far less of an understanding, in metropolitan areas, of what life is really like in rural areas.

It goes back to what is seen in some cultures, that poor people live in the country and they aspire to live in the cities.”

Although that too is shifting with the desire for the affordability and tranquillity offered by living in a rural area.

Drawing on her marketing and communications background, Rogers discusses the Evocities program which has brought more Sydneysiders to the bush, seeing a fusion of the two cultures.

Artistically, it’s an exciting merger that will only be further highlighted and emphasised by the upcoming Artlands conference which will engage regional towns with ideas from metropolitan areas.

“The conference program will feature keynotes of the highest calibre to give delegates the opportunity to consider all aspects of creativity and arts practice in regional Australia,” she said.

And as Rogers busies herself with preparing Dubbo for its debut on the national art stage, I head for cooler climes, knowing full well that not only is the city about to get hotter outside, but that the mercury is also rising on its reputation as a regional centre for the arts.

“ For the region to have access to metropolitanstandard cultural buildings is outstanding.

Heads up: Sarah’s new song

S

he might have left “home” some time back to pursue her career, but her home town of Dubbo will always claim Sarah Head as one of its own.

By day, Head is the chief designer for Panscott Media, a job technology allows her to do from her base on Queensland’s Gold Coast. But when she’s not making Weekender and

Dubbo Photo News look so good every week, this award-winning singersongwriter is taking the music world by storm with her special brand of contemporary country, and has just released her fourth film clip for her brand new radio single, Me and Jack.

The single is the second music release from Head’s second EP, Nothin’ But Love, and tells the story of one

woman’s struggle with relationships, dependence and alcoholism in an alluring, dark, contemporary country ballad.

The film clip was recently produced on the Central Coast of Australia, by goldenguitar winning director Duncan Toombs (Filmery) and will be available by request on Foxtel’s Country Music Channel (CMC). It features stunning choreography by Jo Cotterill (Lee Academy, Central Coast), and showcases a breathtaking performance from world-class dancers Danni Hegarty and Michael Stone.

Head approached Cotterill with the idea of including dancers in her video clip, and says it’s from there the magic began.

“I had a really firm idea of what artistic direction I wanted to portray in this film clip. I found Jo’s company, Lee Academy, online, and was so impressed with her choreography and the skills of her dancers that I knew they just had to be a part of it.

“Jo was fantastic to work with, and choreographed the dance specifically to reflect my song. When I saw Michael and Danni perform the dance, I had goosebumps and knew it was going to be something special on screen.”

With the help of the Filmery’s director Duncan Toombs, Head and Cotterill were able to create a clip unique to the Australian country music industry, one the songstress says “truly captivates the audience and supports the vocal delivery superbly”.

The vocal delivery is emotive and captivating, while the composition showcases the finest Nashville musicians in a highclass performance.

The single was written in collaboration with industry icon Byron Hill during Head’s nine-week stint in Nashville, Tennessee, at the end of last year. Hill’s songs have been released on seventy-seven RIAA certified Gold and Platinum albums and singles, earning ten ASCAP awards, 32 US and Canadian top-ten chart hits, and numerous hits in other worldwide markets. His songs have been recorded by a list of artists that includes Ray Charles, George Strait, Kenny Rogers, Juice Newton, Joe Nichols, Randy Travis, Gary Allan, Trace Adkins, George Jones, Toby Keith, Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn, among others.

He’s glowing in his praise for the talents of the girl from “down under”. “Sometimes

you sit down with a new co-writer and just know you’ll come up with something good.

That was the feeling for me when Sarah and I wrote for the first time.”

The release of Head’s EP, Nothin’ But Love, earlier this year has wowed fans and audiences across the globe, showcasing just what this up-and-coming star has to offer the Australian and international country music industry.

Her voice is sensational – a combination of smoky soul and ballsy grit – and her new, original songs blur the lines of country, rock and pop into a contemporary, engaging musical style.

“The first time I heard Sarah’s voice I knew we could write something together.

Her voice is unique and so inspiring that I knew it was going to be a good day for a song,” Hill says.

It’s been a whirlwind few years for the down-to-earth singer-songwriter, who was a top four grand finalist in the prestigious Toyota Star Maker Quest in 2013, taking out the People’s Choice Award at the final. She’s also maintained the number one position on Reverbnation’s Country Music Charts for the Gold Coast region for the past two years, and was a top 10 finalist in the 2013 MusicOz Awards for Independent Artists (five songs in three categories).

As a professional recording artist, Head also performs as a solo artist in pubs, clubs and at weddings around Southern Queensland. It’s a gig she loves.

“I’m so grateful every day that I can do something I’m so passionate about and enjoy with every ounce of my being. The fact that I’m able to write and perform my original music to a worldwide audience is something truly exciting, and I love being able to push the boundaries and explore new avenues within my lyrics, performances and film clips.”

You can watch Sarah Head’s new film clip on YouTube by searching for “Sarah Head Me and Jack” or visiting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2xzi6y1iEg and can find the single on iTunes or Spotify.

The release of “Me and Jack” comes just in time for Sarah’s preparations for the Tamworth Country Music Festival, where she will be performing a series of songwriting showcases over the 10 days.

In the meantime, the Weekender team and loyal readers are hoping “their Sarah” will be able to continue to juggle her designing work with the growing demands of her exploding career – and that she won’t have to give up her “day job”... but now the secret’s out, we’ll just have to get used to sharing her! >> For details of where you can see Sarah perform, “head” to her Facebook page or website: www.facebook.com/sarahheadmusic; www.reverbnation.com/sarahhead

Cr Mathew Dickerson

Media & Marketing Minute Mayor Mathew Dickerson was born and bred in Dubbo and is married with four children.

Compiled by the Sales & Marketing team at Dubbo Photo News/Dubbo Weekender

When it comes to cities, the grass is always greener I

ran into someone recently who I hadn’t seen since our schooldays together. After he finished school, he could hardly wait to leave Dubbo. He had many ‘issues’ with Dubbo and planned his move away to find his new and better life. After living in a few different places over the years, he has now moved back to Dubbo – by choice. He can’t believe how wonderful the place is now compared to all those years ago and is incredibly happy back in his old home town.

I spoke with a gentleman just this week who lives in a nearby council area. He wanted to know when amalgamations were going ahead so we could start running his council. He thinks that Dubbo provides much better value for money with our rates and he thinks Dubbo charges a lot less for water. He wants his council to be merged with our council because he believes that will lead to a more efficient use of the money provided by ratepayers.

A few weeks ago I spoke with a Dubbo resident down the street while they were doing their Christmas shopping (it still seems too early to be Christmas shopping). They bemoaned the lack of shopping variety in Dubbo and said they regularly travel to Orange because the shopping is ‘so much better’ there. Of course, I pointed out the advantages of shopping locally but that fell on deaf ears. Funnily enough, I happened to speak to a shop owner this week who told me they have many people from Orange visit us in Dubbo as, in their words, the shopping is ‘so much better in Dubbo than Orange’. Go figure.

On March 15, 2012, when we were going through the process of bidding for the $3.477 million we needed from the Australian Government to build the Barden Park Regional Centre of Excellence for Athletics, I attended a meeting in Tamworth and visited the Tamworth Sports Dome. This facility was officially opened on 17 May 2011 by then-Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and then-local member, Tony Windsor, who just happened to hold the balance of power at the time. Five million dollars was contributed by the Australian Government with Tony Windsor doing a wonderful job for his local area. I looked around

the facility and marvelled at how good it was for Tamworth thinking how great it would be for our basketball and netball players if we had this facility in Dubbo. I spoke briefly to one of the staff members and he told me how jealous the sporting community in Tamworth was of Dubbo.

Looking around their facility as I replied, I asked why. I was standing in a facility much better than what we have for the same sport. He replied that we are soon going to have an international-standard athletics track and we are known to have fantastic sporting ovals.

All of these real-world examples come back to one of the major issues that councils face across the State – the myth that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Funnily enough, the proverb is literally true – as demonstrated by James Pomerantz in a scientific article from 1983. Pomerantz proved that optical and perceptual laws will make grass at a distance look greener than blades of grass you see that are perpendicular. It is actually very rare for the grass to be greener on the other side of the fence – when you get up close to what appeared to be ‘green grass’ you suddenly notice some dead or yellowing patches and, when you look back at your own grass, it suddenly appears to be greener.

The secret in this is to actually look at what you have and compare that to what you need – as opposed to what you think someone else might have. In reality, the grass is greener where it is watered and cared for. If councils across the State want everyone to enviously look across at their ‘green grass’, we should all look at our advantages and improve what we have – rather than want what we don’t have.

This may sound a little deep and philosophical but I think Dubbo is currently in that positive mindset. We have a wonderful community and, in the main, things are progressing very well in Dubbo. Our community is focused on our positives and gaining strength because of it. The next time someone says that Nirvana exists just across the horizon, just sit back and think about what this city of ours has to offer and I think it will be hard to be disappointed.

“ All of these real-world examples come back to one of the major issues that councils face across the State – the myth that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. ”

Think Local – and complete the picture.

G

REETINGS! We thought we’d start this Marketing Minute with a mouth-watering print ad by US fast food chain Dunkin’ Donuts.

We’ve cropped it for space reasons, but you get the idea – go that extra mile and you’ll get the donut hole as well.

Think Local – and complete the picture JUST released is a new study into the way that national companies plan their marketing.

It probably comes as no surprise to you and me, as Dubbo business people, that the vast majority of national companies, with their marketing departments based in either Sydney or Melbourne, are very city-centric.

And worst still (for them) they apply a one-size-fits-all approach to their marketing. That is, they spend bucket-loads of money on stuff that works in Sydney, but doesn’t translate very well into regional areas like ours.

Their loss is our gain.

The point is, if you “think local” when planning how to market your local business, you’re going to have a great head start over the big national companies that, let’s be honest, don’t think local.

You know what will work here in Dubbo, they don’t.

some interesting analysis of last year’s Black Friday.

IBM Smarter Commerce tracked the sales for 500 of the top retail web sites in the US, and revealed that social media referrals made up less than 1% of Black Friday sales. Referrals from FaceBook, LinkedIn and YouTube combined contributed only 0.34% to Black Friday sales. Twitter contributed 0%.

“While these stats are for the largest ecommerce retailers, they do offer a note of caution about how much time and effort small businesses should be investing in social media,” according to those who analysed the data.

In case you missed the Cocacontroversy...

IT’S quite a long report, with lots of stats about how consumers spend, and how companies advertise. Amongst the many gems included is this one which we thought you’d find interesting...

The study found that Regional Australians are: 12% more likely to renovate 11% more likely to garden 11% more likely to visit a hardware store ...compared to their city counterparts.

YOU’D think that one of the world’s biggest companies, Coca Cola, would research new ads for a new product a bit more thoroughly before releasing them to the public. They struck controversy this week when their series of ads for a new US line of milk drinks were very quickly labelled as “sexist”.

The message from us is this: learn from other’s mistakes. If you create an ad, let people close to you check it out first. Let them critique it, take their comments on board, and then rework/ rethink the ad if needed.

The trust factor

When you write: Tip #7

THE same research shows regional newspapers are the most successful local media in driving sales. The trusted relationship regional communities have with their local newspaper underpins this success.

Regional newspapers have a longstanding history of keeping readers up to date on local issues, representing the voice of the community. Readers trust them as the local authority, delivering relevant and factual news updates.

This trust lifts regional newspapers above other local advertising media in consumers’ eyes.

HERE’S another in our series of handy copywriting tips from Richard Bayan’s book “Words That Sell”.

7. Be organised. Your message should progress logically from the headline to the clincher. Don’t bury essential information in the darkest recesses of your copy or lead off with trivia that stops the reader cold. Like an old-fashioned short story, your copy should have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

What’s the value of social media referrals?

YOU may have heard about the “Black Friday” sales held in store and online last week, although they’re more popular in the US and Europe than here. It’s too early to see all the stats from the most recent event, however IBM did

A very bright Christmas LAST but not least, a US family has set the Guinness World Record for most lights on a residential property with a holiday display featuring more than 600,000 bulbs. Tim Gay already around 400,000 bulbs of his own and then the makers of Ritz Crackers donated an installation featuring about 200,000 lights to add to his family home’s power bill!

- Until next week, have a cracker Christmas trading season, and market well!

“The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.”

Shake things up!

Words Cheryl Burke Photography Alexandra Meyer/Firefly Pictures

I

f you listen carefully you can possibly hear the collective sigh of relief emanating from Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) staff as we approach the end of 2014 and say goodbye to another busy year. The “silly season” is upon us, we have decorated our Christmas tree, made reservations for our staff Christmas dinner and will close the doors on Christmas Eve for a refreshing break until the New Year and our 2015 programme of shows, currently totalling 38... but who’s counting?

And what would this time of year be without an obligatory look back at the one just gone. A time for review; a time to judge whether your year was fantastic, mediocre or just plain terrible.

Do you deserve a high five? Or a good pep talk on how you can do better next year? What did your year do for you?

Did you learn anything about yourself?

Are you inspired to do things different next year?

For the many jobs I’ve held I’m not about to move into the realm of personal coaching. I know your job does not define you, and the question “who are you?” is much more interesting to ask than “what do you do?”. However I spend a considerable part of my week employed as a ticketing officer interacting with a small team of colleagues and many patrons, so it is only natural that my year in review includes the lessons and experiences I’ve had in the workplace in addition to those on a personal level.

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no use in being a damn fool about it.”

Had I taken the words of the American actor, comedian and writer W C Fields literally, I would certainly not be working at DRTCC. Since its opening in 2010

36

I have applied for a position at the theatre twice. I realise two is a small number, but unlike in the 1980s these days writing a job application and addressing selection criteria requires the stamina of the audience at Gatz, the eight hour play based on F Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby performed at the Noel Coward Theatre in London in 2012. For my persistence I can give myself a high-five; I am determined and have grit.

“He who hesitates is lost.”

If working in a box office has taught me anything this year, it is that sometimes you can never guess the rate at which a show will sell, although now I have a fair idea and will share this insight with you so you’re prepared when such shows go on sale.

Should an opening night two-for-one ticket offer for a Dubbo Theatre Company production be advertised do not wait too long for your sixth friend to decide if he or she is available on that date. Invariably there are always one or two members of a group whose indecision stymies the tickets being booked and then everyone misses out. At the risk of sounding rude, unless you’re happy not to attend the show, let them organise themselves.

Should your child be a part of a school or dance production, read the notes that are sent home or download them from the Internet. These notes are likely to contain information about the price of the tickets and most importantly about when they go on sale. There are only so many dads, mums, grandparents, sib-

lings, step-siblings, step-parents and second cousins our 500 seat theatre can accommodate. Your world may be a busy place but being on a waiting list to see your child perform is not the place you want to be.

Should your small child be addicted to a pig named Peppa who is wildly popular and has taken over the world, and even has her own world within Paulton’s Family Theme Park in the UK, you can safely assume the show will sell out within an hour. For performances featuring characters or artists of such stratospheric popularity take full advantage of the ability to book online or do it the old- fashioned way and line up at the front door before our box office opens.

Small children may be fickle and on the verge of moving onto the next big thing, but until they do, booking quickly may dispel any future angst they direct toward you because you “made them” miss the show.

“Shake Things Up” – DRTCC theme for 2015 Some people like to stay in their comfort zone. I have learned that stepping outside my comfort zone, or more specifically my box office, and attending the show as an audience member has reinvigorated my love of live entertainment. It also means I am not just paying lip service when I promote the DRTCC and I can be honestly passionate about my workplace, hopefully without sounding like a Crossfit convert or Thermomix owner... or a brown-nose. Even before

“ Some people like to stay in their comfort zone. I have learned that stepping outside my comfort zone, or more specifically my box office, and attending the show as an audience member has reinvigorated my love of live entertainment. ”

DUBBO WEEKENDER The Dubbo Photo News Weekend News Magazine 06.12.2014

we unveiled our new theme for 2015 – Shake Things Up! I was stretching my wings and going where no man dared to go, or in less dramatic terms going where I had not been.

By attending Songs in the Key of Motown in March I discovered I’m partial to a bit of soul and Motown music. I’m not of the age that places me in the era when this music was popular; I am a child of the 60s, a tween of the 70s and a teen of the 80s. My parents listened to Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, Engelbert Humperdinck, Shirley Bassey and Neil Diamond. The compilation albums of my childhood had more creative titles than Hits for Kids or So Fresh and bore names such as Ripper, Fantastic, Dynamite and Right On with songs that told stories about how Billie shouldn’t be a hero and Casey needed to act his age because he was too pooped to pop. Despite being a city dweller in my early 20s and receiving numerous complimentary tickets to live bands I have learned to be less of a tribute act “snob”. Although some artists who perform on the DRTCC stage are not always the original artists, they are professionals who put a lot of time, effort and practice into developing their shows and in the instance of Spectrum and Radiance in the Motown show they were authentic enough to have me up dancing.

In 2015 I am inspired to step out of my comfort zone even more. As Dr Seuss says... “you have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go...”.

And in booking your seats I offer this advice: organisation is the key to success. Plan your visits and enjoy the show.

THE Write STUFF

From the bookshelves

For established and emerging local writers The Write Stuff is dedicated to helping both established and emerging local writers and poets explore and develop their literary art. Each week, Val Clark offers tidbits of interest and assistance based on her experiences as a consumer, blogger, teacher and practitioner of the wonderfully rewarding craft of writing.

by Dave Pankhurst The Book Connection, Dubbo

Someone else can pay for it Journey starts with the first step Y I n the middle of “living life” at least seven Dubbo writers joined 300,000 writers worldwide in attempting to write 50,000 words throughout November.

This is what some of those writers have to say about their experience of National November Writing Month (NaNoWriMo): Lachlan Meurer: “This was my first NaNoWriMo experience. I finished with three days to spare, somehow.

The required 1,666 words a day is a huge figure, especially when you have a full time job and are married with three kids who all require the majority of your time. At the end of the day, they are my priority, but I really wanted to try to complete this.

“You spend most of your spare time thinking about the story. When you are driving, when you are lying in bed at night or daydreaming at work.

It is all consuming because you have to come up with new ideas all they time as to how to move the story forward. Instead of having an idea, letting it marinate for a week or a month you have to let it marinate for… oh, a few hours, or minutes. Then, after you write it down, you have to come up with new ideas. You know where the book is going, but you need to get it there with interesting characters and conversations.

It’s the discipline. I put my kids to bed 7.30/8.00 and wrote until 8.45/9.30. My wife and I discussed it and agreed to time frames so I blocked out the time, put headphones on and escaped to the zone. Some days I felt like it, often I just didn’t.

I ended up taking one day off work during the month to knock over a few thousand words so I could take the pressure off.

You have to start before the month begins with a good idea for who your main protagonists are, how it ends and what the climax is. Where is it leading and what are you trying to say?

I like the finished draft. A lot of work has to be done to it like any first draft but I have it. I have the foundations. And this is the hardest part.”

Cate Stephens: “I did feel like a failure when I didn’t succeed this year but, at the end of the day, I love to write. I will keep writing. NaNo for me isn’t about a one month novel, it’s about setting up habits to keep writing. There are stories that need to be told. If NaNo inspires us to keep telling stories then we still succeed, whatever our word count is?”

Sally Hopkins: “Except for poetry I

haven’t written very much so I was the newborn of the group. I managed to hit over 23,000 words. Even though it wasn’t my target it was enlightening, to say the least, to see what I was able to accomplish, putting my mind to it. Starting the novel inspired me to write and finish two short film scripts and continue with my poetry.”

Kaye Cameron: “Doing NaNo was an exhilarating experience. It was a damn hard slog, but having the tight time frame and the constant pressure of a daily word count target really helped me to develop a consistent writing habit.

The other fantastic thing about NaNo was getting involved in the NaNo community both on and offline. Being with fellow writers who encouraged and supported each other during the journey also made it lots of fun.

I didn’t finish the full 50,000 words, but I did get halfway there so I now have half a finished novel written that I didn’t have on November 1. Next year I will definitely finish!”

The writing of the first draft is only the start of the journey. Once it’s finished the aim is to work on perfecting the manuscript with subsequent drafts and then sending it out to trusted beta readers for their feedback.

The most difficult part for most emerging writers, believe it or not, it getting the work published. In September 2015 the Outback Writers Centre will be hosting WestWords and once again bringing publishers to Dubbo. So, hang in there with the editing!

What’s on for writers in Dubbo: • Saturday, December 6:The Outback Writers’ Centre discussion meeting from 10am-1pm in the Conference room of the Dubbo branch of the Macquarie Libraries. Short AGM followed by announcement of the Boldrewood Award winners. Members give readings of their poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, discuss their work, share their interests in writing, give and receive encouragement; 300 word challenge is Escape/ What is love? Light lunch to celebrate the end of a great year. Contact outbackwriters@gmail.com.

• Tuesday, September 9, 5pm.

Dubbo Library. Launch of Kerrie Phipps’ latest book, DO Talk To Strangers.

Val Clark has published short stories, articles and poems in national and international magazines and anthologies, placed and won in writing competitions and written and directed plays for adults and students. She is passionate about creativity and encouraging new and emerging writers. Val regularly runs creative writing workshops for adults, teenagers and children.

OU would have observed that today’s media has become polarised in the bias exhibited. Competition between the media entities is almost hostile and not unlike the conflicts in Canberra where verbal abuse has replaced reasoning.

It may be that reduced funding for the ABC caused some announcers to make caustic comments about the cutbacks. Let’s face it, TV isn’t what it used to be; gone are the days of entertaining programs and reliable news communications.

Just released is John Barron’s book “Is That a Fact?” It includes social and economic claims that have been made, mostly by politicians, that have been put to the test by the ABC Fact Check team – the author reports that one hardof-hearing ‘phone in’ enquirer called it the ‘ABC Fat Chicken Team’. The team provides analyses and checks of politicians’ claims – surprisingly it seems to find that there are as many erroneous claims by Left wing speakers as there are by the Right. Many of the matters analysed relate to justifying expenditures on public services.

One comment during the week was that in past decades Left wing governments incurred costs of programs that exceed incomes and subsequent Right wing governments acted to make cuts in these projects and increase revenues to pay them off.

At the time of Gough Whitlam’s death, media concentrated on his government, but there was little attention about the cause for his political demise. His comment “Nothing will save the Governor General” was often featured, and this was included in a speech noted on the cover of a new book edited by Sally Warhaft titled “Well May We Say – The Speeches That Made Australia”. Having been dismissed by constitutional process, little is said about why this occurred and how the Australian population voted overwhelmingly to vote his party out of government for the next two elections.

Included in Warhaft’s book is the statement by parliamentary secretary David Smith at 4.45pm on November 11, 1975, a proclamation prepared by the Governor General that dissolved the House of Representatives and the Senate simultaneously. The book continues, “Until the day he was sacked, Whitlam believed the appointment of Sir John Kerr was one of the best choices he had ever made.” That’s something we didn’t hear in the media.

When it comes to analysing the positive and negative contributions made by deceased persons, a new book that deals with death and what we can learn from the fact of a life is “How To Read A Graveyard” by Peter Stanford. He provides references to data gathered from Ancient Roman times moving through to the 2010 era. Some of us remember Whitlam’s term as PM, and we know that reforms now being credited to him were in fact introduced wholly or in

part by politicians before him.

He is supposed to have introduced free education. In the 1920s both my parents earned high school bursaries, and later scholarships to attend teacher’s college. Today’s ridiculous claims by uni students to be provided free education is exampled by the occasional approach to the bookstore to sell their text books, some unread, and paid for by a benefit scheme. The iconic status earned for “well educated” over decades has evaporated. But it was the beginning of the attitude “let someone else pay for it”.

In the press early this week was an article regarding the demands of the CFMEU on Boral. As typified by union actions, it demanded an extra share of the proceeds generated by Boral or elsewhere, any other commercial activity taken on by an enterprise.

Why don’t unions go into a genuine manufacturing business themselves and try and make money. No! Their process is entirely parasitic. In an open society they have the opportunity to create and generate commercial operations – but the easy way is to demand a greater share from someone else’s initiative. In the process, as so often has been proven in recent times, the business is priced out of the market.

A second-hand book from the shelves is a 1936 publication, “Unemployment Policy”

by E. Ronald Walker. The effects of the Depression continued to impact and particular reference is made to Australian conditions. Charts show that in mid1933 26.5 per cent of males were unemployed and this slowly reduced until 1936 when it recovered to 14.1 per cent.

Elsewhere in the world the poverty of people who are employed but are paid subsistence wages is featured in “Down the Yangtze” written by Paul Theroux in 1980. Meeting with villagers and townspeople it became apparent that they lived in a ‘vegetable economy’ with the understanding that if they wanted to eat they grew vegetables.

One media program where speakers are recognised is the National Press Club and a recent book celebrating 50 years is “Stand & Deliver” by Steve Lewis. It includes speakers ranging from Bill Gates to the Dalai Lama as well as several major politicians. One speaker in 1995 was Vaclav Havel, the first president of the new Czech Republic. He had to deal with the transition from a Communist rule to a social and economic format where people were obliged to pay for what they wanted.

“The Future Chasers” by Jan Owen is a collection of stories about young Australians who have shown courage and imagination as they pursued a career.

The book profiles talented, hard-working young people achieving some amazing things in a range of fields. And they haven’t relied on someone else paying for it.
