Let’s not get hysterical WHILE the world is scratching it’s head this week over Donald Trump’s win - surprised, possibly alarmed, not so much that it happened but that we actually believed it never could, somehow collectively forgetting the one, definitive Uncle Sam answer to explain everything: “Only in America”. And then of course there were the hopes... dashed now on the rocks of hate speeches and trade wars. So much to look forward to. Turnbull’s response was a bit lacklustre (regurgitating an old speech from the files?), reaffirming strong ties with the US, yanking on our shared military history chain which, if broadcast on American TV, is the one button guaranteed to hug the hearts and minds of every American. God Bless Australia. It was a bit of a rushed postcard to China too, reminding them who our are real buddies are even though that might mean siding with the new bully in the playground who has vowed to push back at the “Made In China” tsunami. Is that such a bad thing? In fact, Turny sounded like he hadn’t prepared a speech for a Trump win at all. Knowing the next American presidency is going to be like bingeing on four years of one long season of “The Apprentice”, it will be entertaining (I-can’t-watch-orlook-away), not terribly engaging but the voters have spoken and ratings are already high. Divorce courts are probably bulging under the weight of new demand as politically divided couples make it official along with the result, which also crashed the Canadian immigration website and there’s not much the rest of us can really do but sit back and watch the first season of “Make America Great Again”. Fingers crossed Donald Trump is the man to right all the wrong turns America has taken in the last 100 years (Iraq, Afghanistan, Monsanto, etc, etc, etc,) and make his campaign tagline a reality. While he’s sold the impassioned ideal to never forget the forgotten again (presumably the men and women living in the republican belt of middle America), it’s actually not a new idea or ideal, to think of others and help them if you can. One tried and true measure isn’t actually about increasing military expenditure by $450 billion, but good ‘ol fashioned roll up your sleeve volunteerism, a stock standard practice in regional communities around the world. Aussies are particularly good at it, always at the ready to jump in and help out a stranger when the chips are down. On the cusp of the bushfire season, to be sure there’ll be opportunities in the coming months to do just that. (See Natalie Holmes story in this issue about the bushfire season). Flooding however is still impacting on local areas, in particular Forbes where loss and damage is running into the mil-

lions of dollars. For farmers facing a bleak harvest all their hopes drowned along with their paddocks. Fortunately Westfund Health Insurance (an Aussie owned and operated not-forprofit health fund) has initiated an assistance programme to provide relief for it’s members impacted by flooding who can reach out to their Orange or Dubbo branches or website to find out how the road ahead can be made a little easier. Forbes has had a major flood every seven years since 1887. The highest recorded flood occurred in 1952 when the river peaked at 10.80m. This year’s flood reached 10.67m. Just this week, on November 4 and since flooding occurred six weeks ago in September, the Newell Highway between Forbes and West Wyalong reopened to all traffic. Imagine the impact that road closure alone has had on the business community with product and stock deliveries and visitor numbers significantly reduced. Forbes council are supporting the Newell Highway Task Force’s submission to the FedDivorce courts are eral Government in regards to flood proof- probably bulging ing the Newell High- under the weight way between Forbes of new demand as and West Wyalong. The issue of water politically divided has been at the forefront of many people’s couples make it minds in Dubbo this official - along with week with the boiled water warning issued the result, which by council who by all also crashed reports are followthe Canadian ing procedure just as Bathurst did several immigration years ago, under the website and there’s same circumstances and under a barrage of not much the rest similar hysteria from of us can really do residents. Given the levels of but sit back and fear from residents watch the first who are apparently in no danger, according season of “Make to the science, have America Great been phoning council Again”. demanding to know how the “ebola” (yes, ebola) virus could enter the water supply of Dubbo. It might be time for some residents to put the kettle on, boil that jug and have a nice calming cup of tea while googling the backstory first before blurting on Facebook the end is nigh. After all, there are probably higher levels of ecoli in your rainwater tank and the world just entered the Trump Era. Now that could be something to get hysterical over.

Common sense drowned out by hysteria over water Boil Water Alert lifted for South and Central Dubbo BY YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY HEN the Dubbo Regional Council received phone calls from angry and concerned residents this week who demanded to know (mistakenly) how the ebola (yes, ebola) virus could get into Dubbo’s water reserves, two things were happening. People were not being reassured by council directives or choosing not to understand the message conveyed. “It’s a perfectly understandable reaction. Different people react in certain ways and it’s not surprising to us that there is this concern being expressed. We’re doing what we can to reassure people,� Dubbo Regional Council director of technical services Stewart McLeod told Dubbo Weekender. A boil water alert issued on November 7 quickly turned to alarm when residents understood the alert came two days after ecoli was found to be present in North Dubbo, affecting the Newtown and Myall water reserves which were being investigated. “It was a low level detection and that won’t normally make you sick but it’s an indication that something had contaminated the water and it’s a standard protocol in the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, the Department of Health, and all Australian Water Utility guidelines that if there is a possibility of something which might having gotten into the water, we’re better off taking the precaution of asking people to boil the water,� he said. “It’s an indication that Australian water standards are as good as any in the world. We aim to maintain that. It’s important for our customers to be reassured. We’re willing to impose this unpopular measure because we do want to take care of people’s health. If there’s any risk the water might contain something we’re not sure of, then we issue the boil water alert,� McLeod said. In answer to residents questioning why they have to boil water when they pay rates, McLeod said: “This is a normal part of our us running a water supply. We you don’t like to have a boil water alert but it is standard operational procedure. It is simply part of us running a safe and successful water supply.

W

CBD-based Dr Amal Tadros brought water to work It is part of what people are paying their water charges for. It’s an unusual occurrence but a normal way of of doing business. Thankfully it is rare,� he said. In recent years year boil water alerts were issued by Walgett Shire Council (August, 2016), Bega Valley Shire Council (January and June, 2016), South Broken Hill (January 2015), Jenolan Caves Trust (January 2015), Cowra Shire Council (November 2014), Walgett Shire Council (April 2014). “We’re certainly not on our own. There’s probably ten to 20 boil water alerts in Australia in any one year. It’s one of the last tools in the tool box. We show no hesitation to do it. Australia and Dubbo has world class quality water. We err on the caution,� McLeod said. The latest statement from council is that until further sampling is undertaken keep boiling the water. “The standard procedure at that stage is to take further samples, begin flushing of lines and increase chlorine levels,� “After a second, low level read of ecoli came through over the weekend, the same actions were continued and an inspection of the reservoir took place,� “Further sampling was conducted on Sunday, and a teleconference was called with Public Health on Monday morning to call a Boil Water Notice as a precau-

tionary measure while investigations continue,� Mr McLeod said. “Although there have been improvements observed since testing began, two clear samples need to be returned from NSW Health before the all clear can be given.� “Obvious sources of contamination such as deliberate tampering have been ruled out so staff are conducting ongoing active investigations to isolate the source.� “These actions are being undertaken by Council staff who are also consulting regularly with NSW Public Health and the Chair of the DRC Drinking Water Quality Committee Clara Laydon, who was brought on board as an independent advisor and to assist with collating data for reporting purposes.� “I would like to reiterate that the processes that have been followed by Council during this period reflect the best practice of the industry and will continue to do so.� The Boil Water Notice is currently in place for North Dubbo, west of the railway line, and Central and South Dubbo west of Fitzroy Street.

Testing for ecoli LOCAL company Enviroscience regularly undertakes water testing procedures. When testing for the ecoli, Ken Archer from Environscience said: “Investigating faecal contamination in a water supply, a quantity of water is filtered onto a gridded filter disc. Which is then incubated onto a petri dish, generally chrome agar and incubated at 35 to 37 degrees for 24 hours. “The presence of E.coli and/or faecal coliforms is an indication of contamination by Bowel flora from an organism. Typically this is found in sewerage ingress into houses or faecal contamination of bore water.� E.Coli and Coliforms are “signal� organisms indicating that there could be other pathogens such as Hepatitis A/B, or Giardia, Rotavirus etc. “ At this stage, all indicators are showing contamination in Dubbo’s water supply is low level and a source is yet to be determined.

Boil Water Alert lifted for

South and Central Dubbo DUBBO Regional Council director of technical services Stewart McLeod advises that the area affected by the Boil Water Notice has been reduced after extensive investigations and testing were carried out to identify and isolate the contamination. “Council, in consultation with NSW Health, are pleased to say that the reticulated water supply system for South and Central Dubbo can now be declared normal,� Mr McLeod said. “The Boil Water Notice is still in place for North Dubbo as inspections conducted on Wednesday afternoon at the Myall Street Reservoir discovered evidence of birdlife. Roosting birds and nests in reservoirs are known to cause contamination of this kind “For the area served by the Myall Street Reservoir, which is North Dubbo, the Boil Water Notice will remain in place while reservoir cleaning and further sampling are undertaken. “Staff have been following anti-contamination procedures since last Thursday when the first failed water sample was received, with low levels of E. coli detected,� Mr McLeod said. “After a second, low level read of E coli came through over the weekend, the same actions were continued and an inspection of the reservoir took place.� “Further sampling was conducted on Sunday, and a teleconference was held with NSW Health on Monday morning at which a Boil Water Notice was put in place while investigations continued,� Mr McLeod said. “Although there have been improvements observed overall since testing began, Council will continue to work with NSW Health to ensure the system has returned to normal before the boil water alert is lifted. “I would like to reiterate that the processes that have been followed by Council during this period reflect the best practice of the industry and will continue to do so, and we appreciate your patience as we work to rectify this situation.� For more information and an updated map of the affected area, please visit Council’s website.

What summer has in store

BY NATALIE HOLMES

MILD wet spring is no reason to be complacent about the upcoming bushfire season. That’s according to Orana Rural Fire Service manager superintendent Lyndon Wieland, who believes that once warmer weather hits, a volatile summer will lie ahead.

A

He explained that the 2016 to 17 Bush Fire Danger Period is now in place and a fire permit is required for burning activities during the coming months. Permits help ensure that fire is used safely and to minimise the danger to people,

property and the community.

“Permits are required from October onwards in the Orana Rural Fire Service area including Dubbo, Narromine and Wellington,� Mr Wieland said. The Bushfire Danger Period runs from October 1 to March 31. That doesn’t mean residents can’t use fire but there are restrictions to ensure it is used safely. Getting a permit is free by contacting the nearest Fire Control Centre. However, there are heavy penalties if rules and restrictions aren’t followed and backyard burning is not permitted in suburban areas due to environmental

regulations. Breaching the regulations set out under the Rural Fires Act 1997 comes with hefty fines and a possible jail term. “Permits are quite easy to obtain from your local brigade,� Mr Wieland explained. “A fire permit is required by anyone planning to light a fire in the open during this time. The permit system ensures agencies like the NSW RFS know when and where landholders intend to burn, to ensure adequate and appropriate measures are in place, and so that fires re-

main under control. Permits can only be issued by authorised Permit Issuing Officers. “They will issue a permit if they believe it’s safe to do so right through until the end of March,� Mr Wieland said. “If it’s a hot, dry season, that may be extended beyond March. At this stage, it’s too early to tell. Mr Wieland said people can easily forget summer’s severity, particularly when conditions are mild. “So far, we are having a wet, mild spring so complacency can be a very big issue for us,� he said.

Mr Wieland pointed out that the current conditions are ideal for vegetation control. “In circumstances like we are having at the moment when we are experiencing cool, mild weather, now is the time to be slashing, spraying, mowing and removing combustible materials from around structures such as homes, to get all that started,” he said. After so much winter and early spring rainfall, Mr Wieland said there are a lot of areas where grass has become long and unmanageable, particularly along the roadside in country locations.

When the weather finally turns warmer and summer arrives, the bushfire season will fully descend and that level of growth promises to become a recipe for disaster. “Around our rural areas, the vegetation is going wild,” Mr Wieland said. “There is going to be a lot there in about four weeks when the hot weather arrives. Slashing can start a fire, as can ride-on lawn mowers and angle grinders. Now is the time to get out and do that.” Residents should also prepare for the upcoming season by having a discussion

with family members about being prepared in case of bushfire and by implementing a Bushfire Survival Plan in every household, particularly those in rural or semi-rural areas. When the unseasonably cooler weather ends, Mr Wieland and fire crews across the state will certainly be on red alert and have their work cut out for them. “My prediction is that if it backs off, within several weeks, we will have fuel in western areas, moving its way towards the east. We will have a very big fire season.”

Democrats to blame for Trump's stampede win in US BY JOHN RYAN T’S not the US that’s stupid, it’s the machine of the Democrat Party that’s put the world into the dire situation it’s in. By picking the only candidate who could possible lose to Trump, the Democrat elite have cast their nation, and the world, onto the precipice of a new age of unpredictable policies. When social democrat Bernie Sanders was getting tens of thousands to his grassroots rallies, Hillary was seeing turnouts as low as 500 people, unless she got her celebrity mates to stage free concerts to bribe and coerce people into coming along – that smacks of desperation. Australia played a major role in this US presidential election, via the enormous amount of damaging material released by Wikileaks, an organization formed by Aussie Julian Assange – without these leaks much of the Clinton corruption, and the Democratic Party machine manipulations to make sure Hillary got the nomination rather than Bernie, would never have come to light. It will be interesting to see if a Trump administration treats Assange and other whistleblowers as traitors or heroes. Trump’s movement shared many issues of angst with the Sanders’ revolution – it energized people who believe the US has lost its way, that the Washington insiders were running the show for the Wall Street bankers. Hillary was extraordinarily vulnerable here because her husband Bill, when he was president, repealed the GlassSteagall Act from 1933. In a simplistic nutshell, this act was put in as a firewall to prevent the merchant bankers (speculative gamblers) getting their hands on money in savings banks which were owned pretty much by your mum and dad depositers. So when Bill Clinton finally got rid of this basic protection, the foundation was laid for Wall Street wolves to grab hold of that real savings’ pool and package it up in all sorts of junk bonds, with middle-men making profits all along the way until someone was left holding the baby when the Global Financial Crisis is helped cause finally happened. Then president Obama used taxpayer money from the nation, who’d already been ripped off, to bail out the banksters who’d caused the problems in the first place and whose personal fortunes were intact. That’s a major reason why the Clintons are so disliked and mistrusted, and as a family unit they’ve profited and prospered through this collective US financial misery. So just as husband Bill removed the firewall to protect American’s savings, he had no idea at that time that he’d be effectively removing Hillary’s “firewall” states which she’d been counting on to protect her electoral college votes 20 odd years down the track – that ironic, but that’s karma. On top of all that, there are plenty of questions about the billions of dollars being poured in to the Clinton Foundation, with claims Hillary took money into that organization from all sorts of nations and companies which then coincidentally benefitted from her foreign policy decisions as secretary of state.

I

In other words, donate to the foundation and you’ll be very very well looked after, and maybe even invited to Chelsea Clinton’s alleged $3 million wedding which the Foundation is said to have paid for. Once again, Australia wasn’t immune to the Clinton charm, donating hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars so our leaders at the time could become bosum buddies with Hillary and Bill. I don’t even like to think what those hundreds of millions of Aussie dollars could have done for the taxpayers of Australia who actually owned that cash. Hillary Clinton was behind many of the Obama administrations disastrous foreign adventures into the middle east – I was interested to see former Labor leader Mark latham’s comments after the election, where he basically said that the US had gone into a war, for the wrong reasons, without any coherent strategy, had lost thousands of US lives and killed untold numbers of civilians and yet the terrorism problem is worse than ever. Hillary has not only created ideal breeding conditions for new terrorists, she’s killed and damaged a generation of US military personnel. And when these veterans get back home after fighting for Hillary’s “Corporatocracy” under the guise of fighting for freedom and democracy, they find they’ve risked their lives only to be thrown on the scrapheap by the USA’s incredibly dysfunctional medical industry. Once again, it’s policies from Regan, the Bush dynasty and the Clinton’s that set the foundation for this human and social disaster. The Obama presidency continued this grand traditions, creating damaged veterans by the tens of thousands, yet for the trillions of budget defecits created by one of the most accomplished orators of our time, there was no money to look after those who’d served in the name of the US democracy, who began awakening to the fact that they’d been fighting unnecessary wars at the behest of super-profits for the military industrial complex, a shadow government which outgoing president Dwight D Eisenhower warned the American people about prior to the 1960s. Added to all this complexity are the free trade deals the Clintons, like the other elites, have been so keen on.

Everyone of these deals has seen American jobs lost, but the corporates have done well because they’ve exported them to other nations where they pay slave wages and also don’t have to worry about burdensome and costly environmental considerations. It’s demeaning in the extreme for commentators to say Trump was elected by uneducated whites without college degrees who’ve lost their jobs, because people like the Clinton’s are the very ones who’ve profited so much from their fellow Americans losing their jobs. That backlash was the most real thing about this whole circus of an election, and while anyone criticizing the rampant free trade mantra is ridiculed as a conspiracy theorist or someone wanting a return to the 1950s, all the evidence is that these deals have destroyed manufacturing and ripped the wealth from agriculture sectors in countries that adhere to this mantra. Added to this, Hillary Clinton, a former Monsanto lawyer, had been able to infiltrate many senior executives from that company into the highest positions at agencies such as the US Department of Agriculture, who then set and ratified public policies favoring the corporate agriculture and chemical giants at the expense of the family farmers. She’s also been a major lobbyist for US Genetically Modified Food (GMO) technology, and, even though that isn’t living up to its hype of being a boon for mankind, it has to be pushed because that’s where the ongoing corporate profits are. These things are just the tip of the iceberg, so it’s not, as the effusively gushing Aussie Mama Mia website complains, that Hillary lost because she was a woman – gender had absolutely nothing to do with it, it was all about Hillary’s hidden agenda, to make money for her family and her mates at the expense of a better, and fairer, world. That’s why Hillary lost, she was regarded as untrustworthy and for very good reasons. Now to Trump, and I’m fearing the worst but hoping for the best. On the positive side, it’s difficult to believe Donald trump was serious when he said he’d build a wall on the US – Mexican border, and get Mexico to pay for it, and now the peso’s run off a cliff they wouldn’t be able to afford it anyway.

Trump capitalized on the base the democrats have lost, poor white working people and he played to whatever range of fears he had to just to win. The high-paid pollsters should all be “fired” as of this week, they totally missed all the hidden Trump voters, just as the highly-paid UK pollsters missed the disenchantment which saw Brexit, just as the Australian pollsters missed the popular vote for Pauline Hanson – these people live in a bubble of statistics and data, and have no regard for deeper social factors – they write human factors off and disregard them as summarily as the western political machines have in past decades. He’s said he wants to work with all other nations that will work with him, and not be confrontationist – this will be the most profound change if it happens, but he’ll face plenty of opposition from the defence contractors who make their money from endless wars. He has a relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin, whereas Hillary seemed all fired up to start World War III, so that’s a positive thing. A major problem for him will be his anti-abortion stance because he’s also stated he doesn’t like criminals. In the novel Freakonomics, economist Steven Levitt hypothesised, using economic data and statistics, that the reason American crime trends dropped was because abortion was legalized, so the next generation of criminals which would have been born to poor women never materialized – so if abortion I recriminalized, the Donald may well be creating the foundations for a new wave of criminal class. Needless to say, Freakonomics has polarized opinion in the US, but the figures aren’t meant to lie. Subsequent decades has shown us that Ronald Regan’s “trickle-down” economics was a sham, as the elite monied class got richer, the fortunes for the American middle class reversed, so hopefully the Donald will give tax breaks to small business rather than bug business. One concern from Australia’s point of view is that or failed treasurer, Joe Hockey, is in Washington as our nation’s ambassador and he’ll be only too ready to tell Trump all about the policies he tried to implement back here. On Obama’s “pivot to Asia”, the last thing we need is the US exporting its recent brand of freedom to this region – wherever it’s rolled out, pain, misery and suffering have followed. The west didn’t intervene militarily in the South China Sea dispute, now that looks like it resolving peacefully, and so it should. And it’s not like Donald Trump has a high benchmark – president Obama’s legacy will not be lauded by later generations of historians. It’s true he’s been hamstrung, with a hostile house and senate on one side and Hillary’s disastrous foreign policy hammering him from the other side, but he’s major claim to fame is presiding over $20 trillion in debt. Despite this, his soaring rhetoric and “cool” demeanor mean he’s leaving office as a popular president, after only Regan who began the destruction of the middle class – the ultimate smoke and mirrors façades.

COMMENT.

Friday 11.11.2016 to Sunday 13.11.2016 | Dubbo Weekender

Your family past at your fingertips BY CYNTHIA FOLEY N the beginning there was the word. The subject was genealogy. And the word was one of many words. And they were in books, then on microfiche, microfilm, CD ROMs and now online on the Internet. Interest in family history was gaining momentum back in the 1970s when enthusiasts keen on researching their family history flocked to burgeoning family history societies to discover where their families came from. Most wanted to find their ancestor arriving in the colony. Were we all pure Anglo-Saxon, or of Aboriginal descent? Miners who flocked to our shores during the gold rush? Or descended from post-war migrants? Now a major multi-cultural nation, Australia is a hotchpotch of people from every country. Our roots spread far and wide to every corner of the earth. Dubbo and District Family History Society (DDFHS) like other family history societies raised money to buy records as they became available. Publishing of records relating to genealogy gained momentum. DDFHS purchased the latest and greatest records. The society thrived. There was no talk of Internet or sources online. Australia was an unknown destination many thousands of miles away. What was happening in the land of our ancestor’s birth for them to make such a momentous decision to travel thou-

knows no bounds. Believe me when I say, it can be addictive. The resources are here in Dubbo at your fingertips. To do just that. DDFHS still has all the old ways of researching available for the non-computer savvy researcher, while it also carries the major online subscription databases like ancestry.com. Findmypast.com.au, and many more. For those with ancestors that went to America or Canada, those records are available. For every Irish emigrant to Australia, possibly 10 other family members went to America being a shorter distance from Britain, while the journey to Australia was much longer, and considerably more dangerous. Volunteer members of the society can help guide the researcher. Your family

history research is not done for you, but guidance on accessing the records will enable you, the researcher to begin the journey.

Where to start? DUBBO & District Family History Society, ground floor, Community Arts Building, Western Plains Cultural Centre. Opening hours: Saturday 10am-4pm, Tuesday 1pm-4pm, Thursday 2pm-6pm, Friday 10am-1pm. Phone 68818635 in library hours. Or 0408845796 (ah). DDFHS has an annual subscription.

Seven Days

WATER WARS PARTS of Dubbo, just for this week, have had a glimpse of what it’s like to have a third-world water supply. Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) detected E Coli and other nasties which affected hundreds of homes in North, Central and South Dubbo. An alert was sent out warning people to boil water, but creating that end product is not only laborious and time-

The week’s top stories from around the region by John Ryan

consuming, it tastes even worse than the normal supply, so it seems most people just bought lots of bottles and containers from shops around town I’m not a fan of Dubbo water, both in its taste and the chemical cocktail which goes into its supply system, so the drinking side of things wasn’t an issue for me as I filter all that stuff out of it anyway. For the schools council supplied bottled water to during this crisis, and res-

idents who may have consumed town water before the Boil Water Alert went out, it’s a major problem. Plenty of people took to social media to vent their spleen on the water issue, with some calling for council to waive the water access charges for all affected residents, who pay rates and charges to have a clean water supply, but weren’t getting anything for the money. Former deputy mayor Ben Shields’ Facebook page got plenty of attention, he called on DRC to waive access fees for all affected residents to compensate them, just as Telstra provided days of free data after system shutdowns, and Sydney trains ran free days after major problems. To top it all off, some people didn’t realise that, as well as paying council rates, they were slugged an “access” fee as well as an “excess” fee if they used more than their allocation of water. This is an old council trick, they can keep the general rate base lower and whack on ancillary fees and charges, which aren’t measured in all comparisons against other similar councils. Meantime, council tech services director Stewart McLeod has denied residents in the more than 3000 affected properties were put at risk because of the delay from the first positive test until the alert to boil water – this is a difficult one, as tests often return false positives, and council waits until a back-up

test delivers confirmation. The fact this was all going on last week, and residents weren’t advised, is an issue of concern to so many – I’ve been asked if any council staff were told not to drink or ingest town water from last week and you’d have to wonder if any staff who knew of the positive testing and who lived in the affected areas continued to drink town water out of a sense of solidarity – once again, it’s unlikely we’ll ever get to the bottom of that one. DRC has told me that staff weren’t informed until the same time as everyone else. The veil of opaqueness which greets any look into the bowels of Dubbo Regional Council during any crisis period will no doubt leave many locals wondering how much of the real story we’ll ever know. KFC’s Cobra Street outlet closed down just to be on the safe side, they obviously don’t want any contaminated water to intermingle with any food they sell to the public, so across the board this disaster will come at a huge cost. Supermarkets, on the other hand, will do well in at least one area – as soon as I saw the press release I emailed it to all my networks and then went straight down to ALDI to grab some clean water, and told the store they’d better make an emergency request for extra supplies.

GROUND AND AIR CRASHES NOT a great week for aviation in the region, with a plane crash near Walgett last Saturday killing the 46 year-old male pilot. On the ground, a bad week for local police after highway officers turned around to follow a car about 45 kilometres west of Narromine on the Mitchell Highway. The caught up with the car after it had crashed into a tree a short time later, the male driver and sole occupant was found deceased in the car. Anytime police are involved and a death occurs, a critical incident team is formed from officers from outside commands, that team will now investigate all the circumstances surrounding this incident. Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

ROAD CLOSED ONE road which will have far less traffic on it in coming months is the Cobbora Road. “Cobbora Road (MR353) will be closed from Wellington to the Golden Highway east of Elong, from Thursday 3 November, until further notice,� according to DRC manager of works services Ian Bailey. “Due to the amount of recent rainfall, the road has deteriorated significantly and will need extensive repair work which will continue for weeks and possibly months,� Mr Bailey said. Local traffic will still be able to access the area however heavy vehicles and all non-local traffic are asked to find an al-

ternative route. “One alternative route is via Geurie, then Comobella Road, and Ballimore Road to Ballimore,� he said. Council said it apologises for any inconvenience.

ALMOST MYTHICAL BEASTS WE have to bear in mind these days that Wellington Caves and Phosphate Mine are our brothers in arms when it comes to local tourist attractions, and the megafauna models out the front of the caves are getting a much-needed makeover. According to DRC, the life size models of Megalania, a 5m long goanna, Diprotodon, a wombat like creature the size of a rhinoceros, and Wonambi, a giant python, will be repaired and repainted by Tina Mansson, a preparator from the Australian Museum. “The Diprotodon was first described from fossils discovered in Wellington Caves in 1838 which is why it so exciting that our “dippy” will be brought to life with a new realistic paint job. We are lucky to have Tina Mansson here to do the work,” Wellington Caves Manager Jodie Anderson said. “Tina Mansson originally painted two of the statues at the Australian Museum before they came to the Wellington caves.” “The repair and repainting of the megafauna is part of the larger redevel-

Friday 11.11.2016 to Sunday 13.11.2016 | Dubbo Weekender opment of the Wellington Caves Complex and came about after Ms Mansson took a tour at the Caves and approached the guide to tell them she had been the original artist for the statues, so it’s wonderful to have her back to work on them again.” Great to see some cash being spent here, those megafauna were looking a bit tired.

LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE IT’S worthwhile checking out the winners of the 2016 Light and life photo competition, with more than 150 entries vying for the top gongs to get the best images showcasing life across the western region. This year’s theme was “Rocks, Rust, Stars and Dust”, and the entries were spectacular according to Western’s Local Land Services chair Tom Hynes. “Despite this being an amateur competition, I was struck at the quality and calibre of the photos and I did not envy

the judges who had the difficult job in selecting the winners from such a large selection of great photos,” Mr Hynes said See some of the winning entries in this issue of Dubbo Weekender.

NINE JOINS THE DOTS GREAT to see Channel Nine finally getting its act into gear after the messy divorce with WIN Corporation, and making a major investment to set up TV newsrooms which look set to operate in conjunction with, in Dubbo, the Star FM newsroom. The lack of investment by WIN in it’s news network has opened up a real opportunity for NINE to gain some traction, and spurring that on will be the fact there’s little love lost between NINE and WIN’s Bermuda-based billionaire owner Bruce Gordon. It’s be great to see boosted regional coverage and some new competition, and if the personal rivalry is driving this all that much harder, so be it.

GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME WEEDS and grass will be a constant problem for anyone with some uncovered acres this season, and council is no exception with all the parks and reserves it has to try and keep tidy, according to DRC parks and landcare director Ian McAlister.

“The high level of rain we have received since July coupled with the warmer temperatures means the grass has been growing very quickly,” Mr McAlister said. “Parks and Landcare staff have been working hard to keep on top of the work but there is a long list of mowing and maintenance work that needs to be done and we are working through it as quickly as we can.” “Council has a number of priorities including the upkeep of sporting grounds and walking trails as well as preparing Victoria Park and Cameron Park for Remembrance Day,” he said.

KIDS SHOOSH ACROSS THE STATE DUBBO was at the forefront of adopting the Shoosh for Kids project, where local sporting clubs encourage all parents and fans to adopt positive behavior. It’s been judged so successful, NSW sport and recreation will be rolling it out across the state, and sport development officer Joanne Barrett couldn’t be happier, with six partner organisations including Office of Sports across NSW; Basketball NSW, Cricket NSW, Little Athletics NSW, Softball NSW, NSW Touch and Tennis NSW all getting involved. “Bringing the Shoosh for Kids Week to clubs and associations across NSW means that there is consistent message, we want junior sport to be a positive,

happy place for kids to enjoy themselves whilst being active,� Ms Barrett said. “Sport is such an important part of our lives, with so many recognised health and social benefits. We want to ensure that all players, officials and spectators, experience is positive. We want everyone, especially children to continue their involvement in sport because it’s a fun and encouraging environment for all. “Most people do the right thing, however, the sports we are working with want to remind spectators that there is no place for negative comments in our local sport,� she said.

BIG STORY IT’S not big yet but it will be, the zoo’s first Asian elephant calf is now a matter of historical record and the pictures and vision have been shared across the globe. My old cameraman and good mate Thorsten Joses came up from Sydney to film the occasion – until everything is settled you don’t want hordes of media people clanking and clattering round – he’s an expert at this sort of filming, and sensitive to the moods of animals which is why Taronga and Western Plains Zoo’s often use him for these specialized assignments. Another great news story for Dubbo, I just hope the tiny elephant calf hasn’t been drinking the local water.

Friday 11.11.2016 to Sunday 13.11.2016 | Dubbo Weekender

Thinking of Frederick on Remembrance Day N 1914, Australians went to war. Of the 330,000 who answered the call from a population of just under five million only one in three escaped death or injury. This was the beginning of WW1. Armistice Day is commemorated every year on November 11 to mark the armistice signed between the allies of WW1 and Germany at Compiegne, France resulting in the end of hostilities on the Western Front, that took effect at “11th hour of the 11th day of the eleventh month” of 1918. While each family personally mourned the loss of those who went to fight for King and Country, Armistice Day is a time and place to honour the more than 20 million who died during the four years of WW1. Armistice Day encapsulates the end of ‘The Great War’, The World’s official observance of its’ war dead. Like many other young Australian lads with high spirits and keen sense of adventure, Frederick Joseph Bayliss, son of Joseph Fletcher Bayliss and Hannah (nee Ballard) of the small village of Craboon near Dunedoo in New South Wales, answered the call to fight for King and Country. Enlisting in Randwick in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on August 25, 1914, Frederick was allotted to the 2nd Battalion, G Company embarking from Sydney on HMAT Suffolk, on 18 October 1914. The 2nd Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the First World War. Like the first 1st, 3nd, and 4th Battalions, the 2nd was recruited from New South Wales and together these battalions, formed the 1st Brigade; raised within a fortnight of the declaration of war in August 1914, and embarking just two months later. With the entry of Australia and New

I

Zealand into the Great War in 1914, it became necessary for the respective Governments of these nations to requisition ships for the transport of their soldiers across the Indian Ocean to emerging battlefields in Europe and The Middle East. However, instead of using their own fleet of coastal liners they chose instead to secure British liners and cargo ships. Altogether, 28 Australian vessels were procured. Each ship was given the class HMAT which stood for His Majesty’s Australian Transport, The majority of the ships were then fitted out to accommodate approximately 28,000 troops. Others were employed as cargo ships. A number of ships were requisitioned solely as horse transports and often their holds were fitted out with extensive stabling to accommodate approximately 12,000 horses. From the East Coast of Australia and New Zealand, these ships made their way to the prescribed meeting place in King George Sound in Albany, Western Australia. The men had never heard of the Gallipoli Peninsular or the Somme, and no idea of their intended destination. On November 1, 1914, 28,000 young Australian and New Zealanders departed from Albany in Western Australia on board a flotilla of ships bound for Egypt and the battlefields of the Great War. The ANZAC legend was not yet born as these ships steamed out of the whaling port of Albany but just six months later, on, April 25, 1915 that legend would be forged on the beaches and rocky hillside of the Turkish coast at a place called Gallipoli. German’s invasion of Belgium precipitated action from Britain when War was declared on August 4, 1914. The conflict would become known as the Great War. Unreserved support from British colo-

nies was offered with commitments of available men. Australian and New Zealand answered the call. Troops initially thought they were bound for Europe or possibly England. On reaching Egypt on December 9, 1914, a great disappointment awaited the Australian and New Zealanders when they learned that they were not to go on to England as they had hoped, but to cross France and fight the Germans. They had to leave their ships and go into camp in Egypt for a further course of training, finding themselves among approximately 50,000 men camped beside the Sphinx.

Armistice Day is a time and place to honour the more than 20 million who died during the four years of WW1 Frederick Bayliss wrote home from Cairo on December 30, 1914, asking after his family and his horse. Describing the voyage from Australia, of how they spent Christmas in the camp he mentioned each soldier had about 50 different commissioned and non-commissioned officers to obey, that it was necessary to shave every morning, and to have a button undone on any clothing resulted in being ‘pulled up for it’. For back answering a superior officer they were liable to severe punishment, although he remarked that they were well paid at 6/-a day. Meanwhile on Gallipoli the Turks lay in supplies and waited the attack. Their Commander Mustafa Ataturk directed

his first attack for the conquest of the Gallipoli Peninsular very early in the morning on April 25. The Royal Navy’s covering fire began at 4.30 am. Battalions came under heavy fire and during the altercation Frederick sustained a bullet wound to the left side of his head. He was taken to the Island of Lemnos and then to Mena House Hospital in Cairo, after recovery, returned to the trenches on Gallipoli on June 6, 1915. This conflict on Anzac Cove would be written into the annals of history. Frederick was described as a popular youngster, being 5ft 5 inches tall, weighing 8st 8lbs and because he was young looking, was called “Nipper”. Frederick was killed in action in the Battle of Lone Pine between August 6 to 9 where an estimated dead and wounded on both sides ran into the tens of thousands. His gravestone in Lone Pine Anzac Cemetery bears the inscription: “Believed to be buried in this Cemetery’”. Red Cross letters to family revealed that Frederick had been killed at Lone Pine about August 6. He had another brother, Richard who returned from the First World War and two half brothers from his father’s third marriage, who survived WW11. Amazingly, Frederick has a half brother Wally, born in 1927 and who is still alive aged 89, and in possession of letters from Fred written more than 100 years ago. “The family never forgot Fred. Growing up, he was always our hero,” Wally said. “My father called his first son of his third marriage, Frederick Joseph in honour of his son, who did not return from the battlefields of WW1. “The second Frederick Joseph was my brother,” Wally said.

WHAT I DO KNOW.

Friday 11.11.2016 to Sunday 13.11.2016 | Dubbo Weekender

Lynn Field: A rare gem After a difficult childhood, Lynn Field has made it her life’s work to selflessly care for others. Through the Nguumambiny Indigenous Corporation, she gives her time helping people with issues such as domestic violence, anger management and drug addiction. In return, they call her Mum, friend and their saviour. ’VE been working in welfare forever. Actually, it’s been 26 years, since 1990. I have a history of addiction and some maladaptive coping skills. I didn’t always handle things in a socially acceptable fashion. What I do here is help people with anger management, living skills, counselling for drug and alcohol addiction, mental health referrals and advocacy. We were established as an indigenous corporation because we saw a need. It’s not just for indigenous people – we tried to make it so that nobody misses out and we really have a grassroots approach. I work a lot with probation and parole, male victims of domestic violence, people who have nowhere else to go. I also work with Sureway and the Work for the Dole crew. We are not funded and I do this voluntarily for 25 hours a week. I have applied for grants, including the justice department but there’s nothing for me. When I was 15, anti-drugs campaigner Donald Mackay was murdered. His wife Barbara wanted to get a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre running in Griffith where they lived. I lived on the South Coast of Sydney. It inspired me and I decided to leave school and go and help. I wanted to help people less fortunate than myself. I rang Barbara and she convinced me to stay in school. A year later, I left at the end of Year 10. I went to Griffith, that was in 1979. She told me what drugs were doing to people in the town and the flame was ignited. Ironically though, the rehab centre was never opened and I started doing fairly heavy drugs. I had three kids and was in rehab at the age in 19. It saved my life. For 10 years. I set about making things right and saving myself. In that regard, I had an empathy for drug and alcohol users. My kids grew up and I did a welfare course. I went to Walgett in 2008 and worked for Father Chris Riley in the Youth off the Streets campaign. I set up a community centre up there. It’s hard working around kids. I now care for my 84 year old dad who has dementia. I live just up the street from him. I wanted to become a grandmother but you need to be careful what you pray for. My daughter was doing drugs and was diagnosed with schizophrenia so I’ve had my grandson Allan since he was 10 days old. He’s now five. It was my daughter’s behaviour that got me started getting my qualifications and I did a Certificate IV in Drugs and Alcohol. I also realised how hard it was for people who’ve lost kids to foster care, and that what’s right for you may not be right for everyone. I have put together a set of manuals for respectful and safe relationships – Rough Diamonds for women, Uncut Opals for men, Synthetic Sapphires for teens and Little Gems for five to 12 year olds. I like to advocate for people who don’t have a voice. My life experience has given me that ability – to know what the problem is. Education has helped me know how to communicate with those in authority. Most people get blown away by my directness but people with real problems need to talk to a real person.

I

Men who suffer domestic violence often struggle to talk about the problem. Women are the talkers. Men are seen as being strong but women have the power. Men are often psychologically tormented while women have the upper hand. Men are often reluctant to come forward because they feel they won’t be believed – the shame factor is big. What I have found with domestic violence is that the woman’s role has traditionally been in the home and it relates to domestic duties. We now have house husbands and they are sharing the role. Domestic violence is a very real issue in society and it’s not a gender issue. Women are trained to do everything a man can do and are now using their power to control men. If a man said ‘my wife bashed me’, other men would tell him to stand up to her. But then they can lose their kids if they have to go for custody. We have clients who are railroaded by administrative abuse. Men who suffer domestic violence are like that – it’s not recognised by the government. It’s always been that the victim mentality goes with female victims. Programs such as Leaving Violence Staying Home, they’re only for women. There is a refuge for women and children but they don’t have one for men. And for men with children, there’s nothing. A man with his daughter – that’s a no no. And yet I’ve seen victim numbers I’ve seen have gone from 18 to 85. It makes me angry and ashamed to be a female. The people who report it are those who’ve been married for 20 years and they have been abused since then. More solicitors are recognising it but it’s such a huge issue. Drugs are a huge issue too, it’s mainly ice addiction. The figures are huge. Three years ago, two per cent of the population were affected, now it’s 26 per cent. It’s very non-discriminatory – addicts are from all walks of life. And it affects every part of their being. Most addicts have been through some kind of traumatic experience. Ninety-six per cent of my clients who have an addiction issue have been through childhood trauma. It really needs to be added as a health issue in the same way that cancer treatment is considered. But what can we do, what can the families do? It’s often an intergenerational issue too. The government throws money at it but there are no results. We really need a rehabilitation facility. We collected 8000 signatures online and 3000 written but the government won’t accept the petition until we get 10,000 written signatures. The red tape is crazy and the system is wrong in so many ways. All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing. I’m not special, I just do what I do. My mother always told me ‘Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay, because love isn’t love until you give it away.’ It’s one of my philosophies. I don’t find it hard to do – I was never going to be a model so I had to do something! And I’ve seen a lot in my life. I don’t do this for me. There’s a lot of people that need help.

Tony Webber

Tony Webber is a Dubbo resident with a stake in the future.

Is the anger of the forgotten and afraid nearing fever pitch? AVE we reached a tipping point? Are Trump and Brexit and One Nation and Clive Palmer and the increasingly volatile electorate generally a symptom of some core dissatisfaction that has become chronic? Trump could be a stuffed toy or potted plant in that his role is only for people to project their rejection of the existing order onto him. Maybe Brexit voters had a comprehensive grasp of the EU treaty network, or maybe they just wanted to shout that they are angry and struggling and don’t hear solutions outside more “austerity.” It’s that for many people there is a perception that the system has stopped serving their interests – or is “rigged” in Trump’s words. That the old agreement whereby working hard will ensure a level of comfort if you stick to it for long enough has been redrafted, jobs are now insecure and if you’re doing it tough then that’s your problem - nothing personal. There is a sense that the post war welfare society that evolved to consider the vulnerable and pursue a common good, has coarsened, becoming somehow false in that commitment, like a recording assuring us our call is important. It’s in growing inequality, that a world run for the fortunate and at the expense of the rest is becoming less like a hypothetical worst case and more like a disturbing trend. With jobs a business cost to be eliminated, what of society? It’s in the rapacious US banking industry that caused hardship on an unprecedented scale, was bailed out by US taxpayers, who might have liked the money invested in basic services instead, while CEOs went on to claim the next bonus. It’s in the Volkswagen scandal, where the company altered engine pollution control devices in many thousands of cars, to pass standards but then emit dangerous gases on the street. There was some tut-tutting, some fines, a few resignations but that was about it in an act of corporate deception that potentially impacted on the health of millions of people.

H

But no explanation for what can only have been a deliberate ploy sanctioned at the highest level and throughout the decision-making apparatus of the company. (Wolfgang in the Dresden factory can’t have just taken it upon himself after hours to alter thousands of cars across the globe). It’s in the Panama papers and their confirmation that that the obscenely rich pay no tax and conceal their wealth from government – in fact their power ensures they live beyond government and nationality as we understand it. It’s in the oil giants that delay action on carbon pollution in a Russian roulette game with humanity and all chambers are loaded. It’s in the way oil drove the destruction of the Middle East against the popular will, with all its worst case scenario outcomes now writ large, endless con-

flict and a endemic terrorism. It’s in the words of more than one observer of the US upheaval, where the actions of government are exclusively driven by the interests of an economic elite, and the ability of ordinary people and/ or organisations to influence the process is zero.

It’s in growing inequality, that a world run for the fortunate and at the expense of the rest is becoming less like a hypothetical worst case and more like a disturbing trend.

Think America’s marauding gun laws or non-universal health care, corporate influence turning good-sense public policy in on itself. It’s in the blithe descriptions of the way technology and robots will eliminate the next tranche of jobs, just like globalisation did to manufacturing. As if it’s merely some sci-fi factoid and not the next wave of intense social pressure for which there is no articulated relief. It’s in the political culture wars and arguing the toss over what does or doesn’t constitute free speech, when people are far more concerned about whether their kids will get jobs and if the pension will still be around in 10 years. In showcasing this dissatisfaction perhaps democracy – for all its faults – is serving its purpose of giving voice to the less heard. No government, no political class, can be deaf to what it is hearing.

No more needles? Nanopatch inventor wins Australian science prize

2016 MEDICAL LIFE

SYDNEY: Queensland researcher Professor Mark Kendall has been awarded one of Australia’s highest science honours for inventing the Nanopatch – a needle-free vaccine delivery device. Professor Kendall was named the recipient of the $25,000 CSL Young Florey Medal at Parliament House in Canberra on Wednesday night for his invention that could soon see doctors throw away the needle and syringe after 160 years. The award, presented every

two years, is named after the coinventor of penicillin and Australia’s first Nobel Laureate in Medicine Sir Howard Florey. “It is very humbling and a great honour to receive this award,” Professor Kendall said. “Sir Howard Florey was a hugely inspiring individual. What he accomplished is scientific folklore.” Prof Kendall could also soon become part of that folklore if human trials of his Nanopatch technology are successful.

The Nanopatch is a small square of silicon with 20,000 microscopic spikes delivers vaccines directly to the skin’s immune cells. It’s painless, requires a fraction of the dose, doesn’t need refrigeration, and eliminates needle phobia. The director of the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Professor Alan Rowan says it’s destined to improve the health of millions of people worldwide. Prof Rowan said traditionally, the

need to keep vaccines chilled had made vaccination schemes logistically challenging in remote and disadvantaged areas. “Vaccines coated onto the Nanopatch do not need to be kept cold, and may require less vaccine for effective immunization when compared to traditional needle and syringe methods,” he said. Human clinical trials are underway in Brisbane, and the World Health Organisation is planning a polio vaccine trial in Cuba in 2017. AAP

Cr Mathew Dickerson

HEN I was growing up I used to enjoy spending time with my Dad attending race meetings at the Dubbo Greyhound Racing Club. Dad spent many years as President of the Club and so I often tagged along to help out. While at the meetings, I would grab a race book and try and pick a few winners and Dad would give me a dollar to put a bet on a dog. I am sure the bookies loved to see me coming because I was drawn to the dogs with big odds. I found it fascinating that I could hand someone one dollar and in return I might receive fifty dollars or more. As logic would dictate, I don’t remember many of my bets on long-priced dogs ever coming to fruition and when complaining to Dad one day, he made the simple statement. “A short-priced winner is better than a long-priced loser.” I thought of that statement recently when I was asked the most common question that I have been asked in my twenty-seven years of selling technology. “Should I buy widget X now or wait until widget Y comes out at some indefinite point in the future?” Rephrasing my Dad’s words, the best technology to buy is the technology that is currently available. Sure, there will be something better that hits the market

W

at some indefinite point in the future and there will be advantages to the new product. The business models of technology companies rely on the fact that they will keep innovating and improving so they can keep selling more products. Will the advantages be worth it? I hope so and history has proven that mostly they are. The real question though is whether you should put your needs on hold while you wait for that next big thing. If you do, then you will never make a purchase. As soon as that next version comes out, there will be another ‘next version’ in the pipeline. And another and another. This doesn’t just apply to technology – this applies to all products. Cars; clothing; furniture… You name it and there will be a manufacturer working out ways to improve what they have and bring out a new version to keep selling their product. Now that we have established that you shouldn’t put your life on hold and wait for the next big thing to arrive, the real question is to decide when you should upgrade your technology. Your decision should be based on one of two items. Desire or productivity. If you want a new feature offered by technology that is currently available, and you

can justify the cost, then don’t wait. The sooner you make the purchase then the sooner you can start using that new feature. That might be the features of a new camera or the battery life of a new notebook or the charging option on a new phone. It might just be that you like the look of it. It is your money and if it gives you pleasure to buy the latest device, don’t hold back. The second reason you should upgrade, and the most common business reason, is productivity. Time is the most valuable resource we have and one of the advantages of new technology is that it gives us the ability to be more efficient and do more in less time. This can be as simple as a faster processor on a new computer or it could be new features that make us more efficient in the time we take to perform the same functions or perform the same outcomes using new features. Go back many years and think of the introduction of the facsimile machine (or fax machine). It was 1964 when Xerox introduced and patented the first commercial fax machine (under the name of Long Distance Xerography). Their next model, introduced in 1964, was closer to what we consider a normal fax machine. It was called the Magnafax Tel-

ecopier and weighed a massive 21kg. It could be connected to any standard telephone line and could transmit a onepage document in ‘only’ six minutes. Fast forward to the late seventies, and fax machines were replacing the postal service. Sending a letter would take days compared to sending a fax in minutes. E-mail was introduced and now the minutes was reduced to seconds. These productivity gains are the main driver of technology purchases and it makes it much easier to justify the expense of a technology upgrade. When the first fax machines were introduced, I am sure many people said they were going to wait until the quality was better or the machines weighed less or the transmission was quicker. All of those things did happen but meanwhile the early adopters were taking advantage of the technology that was available at the time. We always want better and we never want to waste our money so the simple answer to when should I upgrade my technology is today! The best technology in the world is the technology I can use rather than the technology that I can only dream about. Mathew Dickerson

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...

Who knew that you could feel this good? ’M pretty sure I wrote this exact same piece, this time last year. Or maybe even at about the same stage, last time I pulled out my finger and headed back to the gym, or the pool, or Pilates. My life is nothing if not cyclical. (In fact, a little like the fact that I’m cynical, I’m also cyclical. I’m also somewhat cylindrical or rhomboid just now, which is what is prompting the thought process. The mounting need to try and get my summer body back. But I digress.) So, yes, just like I arrive at a certain point in each year and feel compelled to have a spray about the ridiculously early appearance of Christmas decorations? And in the same manner as, about halfway through winter, I become overwhelmed with the need to moan about short days, long cold nights and early starts? Actually, I’d best stop enumerating these now, or Madame Editor will realise I the cathartic and confessional nature of this little spot and start billing me for a counselling session. I’ve been to the gym, this week, more than three times in a row, and I feel fantastic. I’ve been promising myself I’d go to the gym for several months now but funnily enough, that doesn’t have the same beneficial results as actually attending and participating. After months and months of Winter Sloth and countless intake of unhealthy foods, I’m finally back on track and following something resembling a disciplined dietary and exercise schedule. (Actually, when I say ‘countless’ intake of unhealthy diet, it is being counted, as it turns out. It’s being very carefully weighed and measured, and counted a little too generously to my way of thinking, by the scales in my bathroom. I actually didn’t know that numbers went that high…) But, Happy Days! I’ve grasped the nettle, I’ve Carpe’d the Diem, I’ve pulled the baby out of the bathwater and, striking while the iron is hot, I have managed to

get myself back on track and back to the gym. It’s early days yet, I’m still looking pretty much the same, but I have great hopes for my 2016 Summer Body. And, aside from the hoped-for instant spunkdom, which is still several months away, it is just as I knew it would be. The positive benefits kicked in on the first day that I dragged my sorry self out of bed a couple of hours early hit the treadmills for a twenty-minute session. (Now I’m sharing with great honesty here, so I don’t want to hear any howls of derisive laughter. I know that really-oh-truly-oh fitness types spend a lot more time than this on honing their bods. And I’m working up to those dizzy heights. It’s just going to take a little while…) I don’t want to sound all zealotish or anything, but it’s like I’ve undergone some sort of extraordinary transformation. One morning of forcing myself to actually use that gym membership that I have had for the past 3 months? Nekminnit – I’m skipping around like a spring lamb, and feeling quite ridiculously chirpy. (I do realise that it’s the birds that are chirpy, and not the lambs, thanks.) I suspect the almost ridiculously good humour that I’m currently experiencing will not last indefinitely. (I suspect there are people around me who will be quite relieved to hear that) But it does highlight the benefits to state of mind, of actually getting in some exercise. And I guess the reason I’m noticing it in such an extreme way is because I must have been pretty snarly by the end of winter. Sorry. It is so funny though, that in much the same way that being in a fair old bate will colour everything you

Well, as quickly as just getting off your butt and doing something about it. You can do a complete 180 degree turn by just getting off the couch. And it’s not until you step outside your grumpy, bearish winter mindset and embrace the joys of spring that you realise just how deeply you have been embedded in the cranky pile. The tricky thing with the cranky pile is that the view from there is rather limited, it’s hard to see anything much beyond the mire you’re sinking in. Nothing works, nothing is much fun, everything is tedious and an effort. And when you’re no longer stuck in all of that, it’s kind of hard to understand why you didn’t just get a grip on it all a bit earlier, and why you didn’t just take yourself in hand and make yourself do something that you KNOW is going to sort you out, is going to make you feel so much better.

So, if it’s hard for me to see this about myself when I already actually do know how much better I could be feeling, if I took myself in hand? If it’s hard for me to make that internal argument to get myself back into a healthy mindset, into a healthy routine of exercise and motivation, then it’s even harder for someone else to have that impact. Inertia is a very, very strong form of gravity; it can be almost impossible to reverse, to overcome to get some action happening. So, now that I’m back on the treadmill of good health, now that I’m hooked up again to my drug-of-choice, the endorphins that flood your body after a little bout of exercise, I’m genuinely full of the joys of spring. Roll on summer.

THE WATER COOLER BY JENNA MCKEOWN

The Dominant Story HOPEFULLY you’re reading this. As far as I can tell when I am writing this, the American election has occurred. You know who has won- I can only guess. And hopefully you’re reading this, and we haven’t yet descended into total madness, the four horsemen of the apocalypse remain wherever it is they live while waiting. I hope there is a result for you. I hope it’s a good result for all of us. And yes, you may argue that the American election has little to do with us but to be frank, it is likely to have a big impact on our future as a country too. The stock markets at time of writing are not looking healthy. And regardless, it’s dominated the news for months on end now, so it must be something people are clicking on. More worthy and interesting stories have been left in the dust. I am hoping this is the last I will ever have to think about Trump, unless I read about him as a catalyst for significant reason for a change in media reporting.

The NT will see you now. NEVER a territory to do things by halves, the Northern Territory has ruffled feathers with its new tourism campaign. C U in the NT it reads, either a funny play on words in the Australian larrikin tradition or revoltingly offensive, depending on where you stand. Either way? It’s got everyone talking.

Luck of the Irish THE Irish Rugby team brought an end

to the 18 game winning streak of the New Zealand All Blacks last week with an astounding 40-29 win. It also ends a 111 year wait for victory over the All Blacks, as it was the first time the boys in green had ever defeated the antipodeans. Now if Australia could get a hold of some of that luck…

Snakes V Iguanas DAVID ATTENBOROUGH’S second series on Planet Earth premiered in the UK over the weekend, and one particular scene has gone viral. Like something out of a horror film, the documentary showed an iguana hatchling attempting to make it to safety while

being chased by hungry racer snakes. The scene is tense, folks. I won’t spoil it for you. Get online and watch! The scene has been lauded as one of the greatest in documentary history, and with the score and Attenborough’s unmistakable commentary, it’s not hard to see why people have reacted so strongly to it.

In 1915, Australia Day was held on July 30 to raise funds for the war effort plan and events such as auctions, stalls and street collections were encouraged to garner contributions. On this day in 1915, a baby boy was born and his parents named him Australia. Eventually he would own “Kildare” a 360 hectare property in the Goobang Valley. In 1958, the area was identified by the CSIRO as being suitable as a possible site for a radio telescope, given its stable geology and low radio interference. A second site close to Sydney in Cliffvale at the foot of the Blue Mountains was also a contender but when a decision was made in favour of the Parkes location, Australia “Austie” Helm, pictured here mustering sheep in front of the now world famous Parkes Radio Telescope, sold 70 hectares of his property, well, to science. One hundred years to the month since Australia was born, in July 2015 Russian internet entrepreneur Yuri Milner announced he would donate $100 million to the 'Breakthrough Listen' initiative - the biggest hunt ever for aliens. The project begun on the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, and at Lick Observatory in California, but has most recently been joined by the Parkes Radio Telescope.

Sneezes, itches and the allergy season DR AI-VEE CHUA GENERAL PRACTITIONER, DUBBO FAMILY DOCTORS SENIOR LECTURER, SCHOOL OF RURAL HEALTH, UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY CHAIR, WESTERN CLINICAL COUNCIL, WESTERN NSW PRIMARY HEALTH NETWORK

ITH all the lovely rain we’ve had recently, there has come an abundance of greenery, beautiful blossoms and pollens. And into our GP rooms have come people with the sneezes, itchy and runny noses, congestion and cough. Is it a case of the common cold, a bacterial infection, or is it in fact a case of allergic rhinitis – commonly known as hayfever? Sometimes mistaken as a cold which doesn’t want to go away, allergic rhinitis is a very common condition which affects around one in five people. Symptoms can be mild, but at its most troublesome, allergic rhinitis can have a big impact on our day to day life – poor quality sleep, tiredness, headaches, difficulty with concentration – and our performance at work. In our kids, it may lead to problems in behaviour, ability to learn or to play sports. It can be the underlying cause of repeated ear and sinus infections, snoring and sleep apnoea, or difficult-to-control asthma. So what causes allergic rhinitis? Despite its common name, allergic rhinitis isn’t caused by hay and doesn’t result in fever! It is caused by coming into contact with inhaled allergens (allergic triggers that are breathed in), like pollens, dust mite, moulds and animal hair. Contrary to popular belief, food allergens do not cause allergic rhinitis. The timing of symptoms can give clues as to the likely triggers. Year-round symptoms are often triggered by outdoor allergens like dust mite, moulds and animal hair. Seasonal symptoms suggest allergens such as grass, weeds or pollens. ‘But I’ve never had hayfever before!’ Allergic rhinitis can develop at any age across the lifespan – in adults of different ages as well as in children. Of the allergy-related conditions, eczema and food allergy tends to show up in babies and young children. Food allergies tend to improve and even disappear in most children. The pattern then changes to sensitivity to airborne allergens, and asthma and allergic rhinitis are then more common in older children and throughout adulthood. What can be done about allergic rhinitis? Identify the allergic triggers and if possible minimise contact with those triggers Sometimes the allergic trigger can be obvious, for example if exposure to cats always brings on symptoms then the likely allergic trigger is cat hair. However, in many instances, trying to identify the allergic trigger can be tricky and special testing with a skin

HEALTH IN BRIEF Medical practices can apply for stage one of Health Care Homes THE Minister for Health, Sussan Ley, announced this week that medical practices in selected regions around Australia can apply for stage one of Health Care Homes. In stage one, Health Care Homes will be rolled out in selected regions from July 2017. Health Care Homes is a major reform of primary health care and aims to reshape the management of chronic and complex conditions by placing patients at the centre of care with general practice and Aboriginal community controlled health services (ACCHS). The Turnbull Government has allocated over $100 million to support the

prick test may not offer help. Appropriate use of medicines For many people with allergic rhinitis, antihistamines like loratadine, cetirizine and fexofenadine provide good relief for symptoms of sneezing, itchy and runny nose and are very safe to use. They can be used regularly to prevent symptoms occurring or on an asneeded basis to treat symptoms when they appear. For more significant symptoms, nasal steroid sprays are effective. Minimal amounts of steroid are absorbed into our body system, so they are safe for long-term use. Whilst improvement in symptoms occurs within the first day, these sprays reach maximum effectiveness usually after two to four weeks of use. For people with bothersome seasonal symptoms, I usually recommend starting nasal steroid sprays a couple of weeks before the beginning of the season, and then topping up with antihistamines as needed during the season. Be careful with the use of decongestant sprays and tablets. Decongestant sprays, if used for more than a few days, tend to cause a rebound effect with significant nose blockage and congestion upon stopping the sprays. Decongestant tablets can cause side effects like tremor, anxiety, or raised blood pressure. Immunotherapy Whilst antihistamines and nasal steroid sprays are good ways of relieving symptoms, immunotherapy should be considered if there are severe symptoms, if the allergic triggers are difficult to avoid or if other medicines are not effective or are causing side effects. Immunotherapy involves having doses of specific allergens, given in gradually increasing doses so that the

rollout of stage one, which aims to enrol up to 65,000 patients in 200 medical practices in 10 regions across Australia. Ms Ley said: “Health Care Homes aims to deliver more flexible care for people with chronic and complex conditions. “This has never been more important with one in five Australians living with two or more chronic conditions. “Health Care Homes allows for teambased, integrated and coordinated care for patients and gives greater flexibility to design individual care plans for patients and co-ordinate care services to support them.” Ms Ley said Health Care Homes is an important reform of primary health care services, which are the first and most common point of contact for most Australians. It demonstrated the Turnbull Government’s commitment to a healthier Medicare. Ms Ley said: “We are implementing Health Care Homes to find a better way of delivering Medicare for Australians with chronic illnesses.”

body learns to stop reacting to those allergens over a period of time. This type of treatment is usually continued for at least three years. What would an allergy specialist advice? Dr Monica Falk, medical specialist in Allergy and Immunology, has these tips for managing hayfever and other allergic conditions: Avoid steroid injections for hayfever. A big boost of steroids into the body provides short-term relief of allergy symptoms, but in the long-term the risks are not worth it, particularly when safe options are available. For people with severe symptoms, the better option would be to consider immunotherapy treatment. ‘Food allergies do not cause snotty noses!’ Food allergies can cause hives and swelling of the face / lips / eyes, tummy pain or vomiting, but they do not cause snotty noses or other symptoms of hayfever. The best way to prevent food allergies developing in children is to start solids at around 4 to 6 months of age and to give any and every type of food early on so that they are exposed to lots of food allergens at a young age. This includes peanut butter, cooked egg and dairy and wheat products in the first year of life. For more information: The Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy has some fabulous information on hayfever, allergy and the skin, food allergies and more: http://www.allergy.org.au/patients/information. Your friendly health care team (GP, nurse, pharmacist) are the best people to talk to and provide correct advice if you have any questions about hayfever and other allergic conditions.

Last year the Government invested more than $21 billion in Medicare to ensure all Australians had access to affordable universal healthcare and Medicare funding is expected to grow by another $4 billion over four years. More information on the application process is available on the Tenders and Grant page at www.health.gov.au

RDAA welcomes government amendments to Health Care Homes THE Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) has welcomed an amendment made by the Federal Government to its Health Care Homes regime, following concerns expressed by RDAA and other health sector organisations. A fact sheet originally posted on the Australian Government Department of Health’s website stated that patients with chronic conditions who are registered for chronic care consults under the Health Care Homes trial, would only be allowed a maximum of 5 non-chron-

ic disease related consults under their Health Care Homes arrangement (in addition to their chronic care consults). But following concerns expressed by RDAA and other groups, including the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), the fact sheet was amended to read: “Based on clinical advice it is expected that for the vast majority of patients the number of feefor-service episodes of care, in addition to the bundled payment, will be small. The number of fee-for-service episodes of care will not be capped or restricted, and will be monitored during stage one of Health Care Homes.” RDAA Vice President, Dr John Hall, welcomed the Government’s amendment, calling it “a victory for commonsense and for patient health”. But he warned that any move to reintroduce the capped consults in any subsequent rollout of the Health Care Homes initiative would be met with strong concern from health sector stakeholders.

Risk and the effect it has on the healthy business valuation you can retire on BY PHIL COMERFORD SCOLARI COMERFORD

OR many who wish to build a business and then sell it, the natural desire is to make sure you have something to sell and then try and maximise it particularly if you wish to use the proceeds as part of your retirement. What this means is that you need to address the risky parts of your business. Risk is present in many parts of your business. Here are a few that you might want to answer and then take action accordingly.

F

1. Cost of supplies ARE your supplies materially affected

by inflation and/or exchange rates? If so, how do you manage these risks? It could be a case of hedging or shoring up supplier contracts with fixed price adjustments, but being able to show that these risks can be managed will only increase your business valuation.

2. Location of customers WHERE are the majority of your customers located? If they are in a depressed geographically located area, this will bring your multiple down. If they are spread over many regions or they can be shown to be in strong areas, this will give your buyers some confidence. Have you ever analysed your customers by: z number of customers; z per cent of total revenue by top 10 customers (if this is high you could be

considered high risk if they leave, sell or go out of business); z location; z number of years they have been a customer of your business.

3. Government Legislation ARE the supplies you make protected by government legislation? If they aren’t, this could mean that it will be easier for competitors to enter the market.

4. Products/services threats ARE the products and services you offer threatened by imports? What would be the difference between your products/services comparted to imports if they can easily enter the market? What would be your competitive advantage so that you don’t lose any market share?

5. Technology

Commitment and leadership E DITH CAVELL was a pioneering nurse who became, tragically, a war hero. Diana Souhuami is the author of “Edith Cavell” – the book tells how, on August 20, 1914, she watched as 50,000 German soldiers marched into Brussels. Nothing in her upbringing as a vicar’s daughter in a Norfolk village, nor in her nursing career, had prepared her for the dangers of the resistance. Seeking the woman within the martyr’s statue, this Centenary Edition biography draws on the qualities of devotion, altruism and bravery that sustained Edith Cavell throughout her remarkable life. In October 1915, after ten weeks in solitary confinement, she was taken from the cells and executed by the German firing squad. Her crime had been to conceal Allied soldiers wounded in battle or separated from their regiments, nurse them, then guide them across the frontier into neutral Holland. One of her final notations was: “I have no fear or shrinking. I have seen death so often that it is not strange or fearful to me. Think of me as a nurse who tried to do her duty. My love to you all. I am not afraid, but quite happy. Your devoted Matron.” Edith Cavell, in her own, way was a leader, motivating her patients who would certainly have recognised that quality, to meet their challenges. Charles Phillips has written

“50 Leaders Who Changed History” and in this he features his logical choice of higher profile people, ranging from Moses to Steve Jobs, who in their time and in their own way have influenced those around them. One he lists is Nelson Mandela who wrote his own story in “Long Walk to Freedom”. He is a wonderful example of a person with an objective in life who, defying the odds, achieved the status his people desired and became their formal leader. The first page of the book tells: “The only thing my father bestowed upon me at birth was a name, Rolihlakla, which in their language means ‘troublemaker’.” Mandela emulated the few great political leaders such as Lincoln and Gandhi. During World War I, Australian military forces on the Western Front were subjected to the ineffective battle plans of British generals until John Monash rose in command. Roland Perry

describes in “Monash the Outsider Who Won a War” how John Monash turned the first four years of slaughter into success in several battles, forcing Germany to capitulate. Perry reveals the true Monash character as a family man, engineer, businessman, lawyer, Renaissance man, teacher and soldier. This title focuses particularly on his military campaigns. Another title, “Maestro Monash – Australia’s Greatest Citizen General” by Tim Fischer, similarly deals with that aspect but also covers how William Morris Hughes went to lengths to obstruct the recognition of Monash, in particular his promotion to being a General – it’s thought that Hughes’ reasons were because of Monash’s Jewish heritage and the likelihood he would become an opposition candidate in politics. We can relate to many of the “50” listed in the Philips’ book. Moses provides the ideal model of a leader and how that quality can emerge. Also included are Jesus of Nazareth, Catherine the Great, Karl Marx, Napoleon, Mother Theresa and Margaret

` Mandela is a wonderful example of a person with an objective in life who, defying the odds, achieved the status his people desired... a

you offer and how do you stay on top of this? Small business accountants all over Australia are seeing changes in technology which is affecting traditional services being offered. Have you embraced technology or are you sticking your head in the sand?

6. Suppliers DOES your business rely on only a few suppliers that cannot be replaced by suitable alternatives? If so, this could place considerable risk in terms of availability and price. What is your plan B if these suppliers go out of business or hold you to ransom?

Conclusion: BUSINESS valuers will always assess business risk when performing business valuations and your business will be no different. Have you really sat down and assessed your business risk? You owe it to yourself to do something about it now, and not only reap the rewards later when you go to sell, but also in the meantime!

ADVERTORIAL

From the bookshelves by Dave Pankhurst The Book Connection Thatcher. With the USA election imminent, one has to question how it is from a country with a population of close to 350 million, that the two candidates standing for president are the best they can choose. In Phillips’s book only three USA presidents are mentioned – one being Abraham Lincoln. Chris DeRose has written “Congressman Lincoln” in which he draws on the ‘Unpublished Papers of Abraham Lincoln’, particularly in the years from 1847. Much has been written about Lincoln’s Civil War circumstances and assassination but little on his early years in Congress. In this book his leadership qualities emerge to reveal, similar to Monash, the depth of brevity of campaign text and the quality skills to achieve. “The Good, the Bad & the Unlikely”, just released and written by Mungo McCallum, provides a brief record of Australia’s Prime Ministers since Federation. Twenty-nine such leaders have run the country and, whether their term was eight days or 18 years, each PM has a story worth sharing. The author brings the history of achievements and otherwise of our nation’s 29 leaders to life. Richard Fidler chose to write

the history of the empire begun by Constantine. In “Ghost Empire” we read of the thousand years that the control existed. In 324AD, Constantine became the ruler of the Roman empire, and Byzantium was re-inaugurated as the new Roman capital and renamed Constantinople. His descendants continued until the location fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 and it was then renamed Istanbul; the Roman Empire ceased to exist. It’s interesting that this example was not a more significant topic in our schooldays. Reading the pages of Charles Phillips “Fifty Leaders” we can gain a measure of the principles that real leaders have – their ability to identify the correct destination and to unite their people for a common good. Along with Abraham Lincoln, another of the included 50 is Winston Churchill. In 1922 a substantial statue of Lincoln was dedicated in his Memorial. While Churchill was alive he commented that he did not want a statue – the birds left their droppings on such objects. But there is a metal statue of him standing near Westminster – and it is said that the upper section has an electric current designed to deter such interference. Enjoy your browsing, Dave Pankhurst.

LIFE AND LIGHT IT’S something residents of the western region of New South Wales already know, that this patch of turf is photogenic and then some. Local Land Services western celebrate the raw beauty of the region by hosting an annual photographic competition called Life and Light. The winners of the 2016 Life and Light in the Western Region Photo Competition were recently announced at a gala awards night held at the Town Hall Façade in Broken Hill. More than 150 entries across six categories were received from amateur photographers, with all images showcasing the Western Region. The theme for the 2016 competition was ‘Rocks, Rust, Stars and Dust’, which hoped to inspire entrants to focus on the incredible western landscape (rocks), the history of the region (rust), our awesome night skies (stars) and the red earth (dust) that has come to characterise the west. Judges and attendees alike spoke of the high standard of photos on display. “Despite this being an amateur competition, I was struck at the quality and calibre of the photos and I did not envy the judges who had the difficult job in selecting the winners from such a large selection of great photos,” said Tom Hynes, chair of the Local Land Services Board, who was on hand to open the evening. Professional photographer and writer, Fiona Lake, was one of the judges and commented that it was a wonderful introduction to the Western Region, with all photos showcasing the beauty and di-

versity that is unique to this area. Special mention was made to Adelaide Turnbull who was first place in the Open Primary Student category for ‘Bush Flowers’, while Demi Crampton was first place in the Open Secondary Student category for ‘Lights Out’. All of the entries for the 2016 competition are on show on the Life and Light in the Western Region Facebook page.

Professional photographer and writer, Fiona Lake, was one of the judges and commented that it was a wonderful introduction to the Western Region, with all photos showcasing the beauty and diversity that is unique to this area. More information about the competition can be found at www.western.lls. nsw.gov.au. Next year will be the 19th anniversary of the Life and Light in the Western Region Photo Competition, and everyone is encouraged to keep their cameras in action for what promises to be another great competition.

Harvest over at Domaine Serisier BY RICHARD SERISIER, PROPRIETOR, DOMAINE SERISIER ERE in Bordeaux the grapes are harvested and the wine is in the vats at Domaine Serisier but, best of all, we can confidently say that the 2016 vintage in Bordeaux has been a great success! The vintage was characterised by a long dry spell between the beginning of July and the end of August. A couple of falls of rain between the beginning of September to mid October with dry and sunny weather otherwise meant we had ideal conditions to mature the grapes. Our harvest started with the merlot on September 29 and finished with the cabernet on the October 17. All in all a very busy time in the fields and in the winery. The alcoholic fermentation is now complete; the skins and pulp removed from the vats and the pressed juice extracted; now we begin the malolactic fermentation.

` Fingers crossed it’s our best vintage yet and one my great great grandfather (Jean Emile Serisier, the founder of the city of Dubbo) would be proud of! As we enter this phase there is magnificent potential with the red wine exhibiting intense aromas of black fruit, concentrated flavours and soft tannins. Fingers crossed it’s our best vintage yet and one my great great grandfather (Jean Emile Serisier, the founder of the city of Dubbo) would be proud of! Back in the UK the Brexit result continues to be a hot topic. So much so, that there are instances of lifelong friends who were on opposing sides are no longer friends and other silly stuff. I was amused when a good friend recently retorted to one of his sons over a very enjoyable barbecue lunch we attended that the English ‘have form’ with ‘Brexiting’… and quoted how the English Reformation during the reign of Henry VIII had broken the Church of England away from the authority of the Pope and the Catholic Church. Plenty of argy bargy followed this of course with threats of invasions but England survived and prospered. It will likely be the same again… a combination of British spirit and the undeniable fact that if Europe tries to ‘punish’ the UK it’s the EU which will come off second best. Quite simply, the balance of trade between the UK and the EU dictates this. Whatever the outcome of the negotiations over the next couple of years it should be good for Australia as we are likely to be at the top of the list for a free trade deal with the UK. That will be a good thing!

IBA acting CEO Leo Bator said the information sessions are an integral part of our Business Development and Assistance Program, which assists Indigenous Australians to establish, acquire and grow small to medium businesses – contributing to closing the gap in business ownership. ‘Before taking the exciting leap into business ownership, entrepreneurs need to fully investigate their ideas and discover what it takes to run a business. ‘Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their business ideas in a relaxed setting, hear from others with similar aspirations, learn what it takes to run a business and find out how IBA can help’, Mr Bator said. Small business owner Karen Seage from Snap Underwood printing found there was a lot more to starting a business than just having the technical skills. ‘I had been in the printing industry for 32 years and thought I knew everything, until I started my own business. ‘The support I got from IBA in areas that I knew nothing about was just incredible’, Karen said. At the end of the three hour session, participants wanting continue their journey towards business ownership will work with IBA staff to determine the next steps. IBA offers further business skills development workshops such as the Into Business™ online course, Business Start–up workshops, Business Growth workshops; together with commercial lending finance options such as business loans. The next Business Info Sessions will be in Dubbo today (FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18). People wanting to find out more information or to participate can reserve a place by contacting their IBA office on 1800 107107

Friday, November 11 Ready For Takeoff

Wild Sri Lanka

NINE, 7.30pm

SBS, 7.30pm

Anyone who has flown a lot has no doubt found themselves at their destination, but minus their bags, at some point. So why do bags go missing, what does Qantas do to try to prevent that, and what happens when luggage does get lost? Baggage handler George and baggage services doyenne “Foxy” share their wisdom on the subject, with advice for travellers, including “black bags should be outlawed”. Also tonight, flying is in the family for Graham Weir and his son Peter. The pair of Qantas pilots have never flown together before, but for Dad’s final flight before retirement, they finally get to share the cockpit of an A380 from LAX to Sydney.

The final episode of this documentary series takes to the seas that surround this island nation, to offer a glimpse at the wondrous wildlife that calls these waters home. There’s the pygmy blue whales which gather in great numbers just off shore, attracted to the area by nutrients that have flowed off the mountains during the monsoon. Dolphins can also be seen frolicking in the waves. Seasonal shoals of herring and mackerel give their lives to be the livelihood of the stilt fishermen, who perch on poles as they capture their catch. Coral reefs attract a colourful cast of sea life, while up on the sand, sea turtles lay their eggs. What a beautiful place.

ABC

PRIME7

MOVIE: Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone NINE, 8.30pm, PG (2001) This story vividly renders the incredibly successful novel about orphan Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe, right), whose mysterious powers flourish after he arrives at the prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, upon invitation. Heading the spot-on, all-British cast is Robbie Coltrane as the burly, bearded Hagrid, Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore, and stealing the show is a deliciously Machiavellian Alan Rickman as Harry’s nemesis Professor Snape. Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are terrific as Harry’s cohorts Ron and Hermione. An instant kids’ classic.

MOVIE: Legally Blonde

ABC, 6.30pm

WIN, 7.30pm

9GO!, 7.30pm, PG (2001)

Summer is just weeks away, and that means lots of time spent outdoors. So you will want your outdoor space to be as comfortable as possible, right? Luckily, you can count on the solid research and advice of Costa and the Gardening Australia team to bring you the best trends in keeping your garden looking spruced up and beautiful in bloom. Tonight it’s the final episode of the season, and while big-bearded Costa tackles the mosquito scourge, John checks out native alternatives to the Christmas tree, Tino plants tomatoes, Jerry visits a garden where equatorial plants are the feature, and Sophie looks at giving plants as gifts.

This reboot was never going to live up to the ridiculous wonderfulness of its cult-hit forefather, but with the easyon-the-eye Lucas Till (X-Men) there to attract the teenage girls (who will be less familiar with the original anyway), CSI’s George Eades appealing to the mums, and action aplenty to interest the rest of the family, it seems to have found its perfect home in this Saturday evening slot. Tonight, Mac is on the trail of The Ghost, the baddie responsible for the death of his last mentor. This time around, The Ghost is planning to set off a bomb near the UN building. Will our hero, a wrench and a rope be enough to stop the carnage?

Reese Witherspoon (right) is the whole show in this amiable legal comedy, her enthusiasm helping you forgive a by-the-numbers script. After being dumped by her snobby boyfriend (Matthew Davis) for being “too blonde”, Los Angeles sorority girl Elle (Witherspoon) heads to Harvard Law School in an effort to woo him back – albeit with the aid of a “Coppola-directed” admission video. A typically stylish turn from Witherspoon registers high on the laugh-ometer in this plucky revenge-issweet comedy from Aussie director Robert Luketic.

Sunday, November 13 Modern Family

Miniseries: The Hollow Crown

WIN, 7.30pm This award-winning mockumentarystyle sitcom, offering a hilarious perspective of modern-day family life in the extended Pritchett clan, is now in season eight and is going strong. The giggle-inducing material is on top form, which is an improvement from the last season that received mixed reviews. Tonight, in “Grab It”, Jay’s (Ed O’Neill) favourite place in the world (and only refuge) may be losing some of its charm when Phil (Ty Burrell) considers becoming a member. Meanwhile, Claire (Julie Bowen) is mistaken about how much she influences Alex’s (Ariel Winter) life choices.

ABC

The Block NINE, 7pm

SBS, 8.30pm If you prefer an educational watch rather than the bubblegum fodder around, The Hollow Crown might be just be to your taste. Shakespeare comes to the small screen in this glossy new contemporary adaptation that brings together four filmed versions of Shakespeare’s history plays – Richard II, Henry IV Parts One and Two, and Henry V. Starting in the year 1399, this story of monarchy follows events during 16 years of dynastic and political power play. Tonight, Ben Whishaw plays King Richard, who is called upon to settle a dispute between his cousin Henry Bolingbroke (Rory Kinnear) and Thomas Mowbray (James Purefoy).

Doing home renovations always seem eem like a great idea at the time, but then your ur home is a dusty mess, deadlines are missed, pipes burst ress and tools break, nerves fray and stress levels go through the roof. That’s er why it’s so much fun to watch other people do it instead. Tonight on The Block, where couples compete in a fierce challenge to renovate houses and sell them for a profit, it’s Auction Day, so that means the race to the finish is over as the five incredible Block apartments go under the hammer. There’s tension aplenty as Scott Cam (right) and the contestants watch their auctions unfold. Will all their hard work pay off?

INSANITY STREAK

by Tony Lopes

PRINCE VALIANT

by Murphy & Gianni

YOUR WEEKLY STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 14, 2016 ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20) Some changes might seem confusing at first, especially to an Aries whose impatience levels are pretty shaky this week. Take it one step at a time, Lamb, and soon all will be made clear. TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21) That difficult situation you’ve been dealing with continues to call for careful handling. Avoid quickly made choices that might not stand up when they’re finally put to the test. GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 22) You still have lots of evaluating to do before you can consider making a commitment. It’s better to move cautiously than to risk stumbling into a major misunderstanding. CANCER (JUN 23-JUL 23) A previously peevish partner offers to be more helpful with your problems. But remember: The final choice is yours. Be guided by what you feel is the right thing to do. LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23) As the Big Cat, you sometimes can be pretty rough on those you suspect of betrayal. The best advice is to pull in those claws and listen to the explanation. It might surprise you. VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23) Your inner voice usually guides you well. But a note of caution: This is a period of mixed signals for you, so be careful that you don’t misunderstand the messages you’re getting. LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23) Cupid’s call beckons both single Librans looking for a new love, as well as couples hoping to strengthen their relationships. A workplace problem is quickly resolved.

for you, and you might want to take a break to restore both body and soul. You’ll then be set to face new challenges later this month. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21) It’s a good idea to take a more conservative approach to your financial situation right now. Some plans made earlier this year might need readjusting. CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20) This is a fine time to move boldly into those new opportunities I promised would open up for you. Check them over, and then choose the best one for you. AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19) Congratulations. Your self-assurance is growing stronger, and you should now feel more confident about making that long-deferred decision about a possible commitment. PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20) You’re very close to reaching your goal. But be wary of distractions that can lure you off-course and leave you stranded far away from where you really want to be. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an inner sight that helps you see into people’s hearts. You would be an excellent psychologist or social worker.

HOCUS-FOCUS POINT TAKEN

JUST LIKE CATS & DOGS by Dave T. Phipps

STRANGE BUT TRUE z Among the Balonda people, an African tribe that dwells along the Zambezi River, it was once customary for a groom to promise that he’ll supply kindling wood to his mother-in-law for the rest of her life. z Those who study such things – word mavens with a penchant for statistics, presumably – have determined that, on average, English-language text contains 56 e’s for every q. z A fisherman in the Philippines recently revealed a treasure that he’d

by Samantha Weaver been keeping under his bed for 10 years: a 34kg natural pearl with an estimated value of $100 million. Evidently, after finding the pearl in a giant clam, he decided to keep it as a goodluck charm. The “Pearl of Puerto”, as it’s known, blew the world record out of the water (pun intended). The previous record holder for largest natural pearl was the “Pearl of Lao-Tsu” (sometimes called the “Pearl of Allah”), which weighs in at a mere 6.35kg. z The female Jesus bird is the one in

charge, it would seem. She controls her own territory, allowing several male birds to build nests within it. Then she lays eggs in all the nests, and the males incubate them. z Before the Beach Boys were the Beach Boys, they considered naming their band the Pendletons. z The name “toadstool” actually has nothing to do with toads. The word is derived from the German words “tod”, which means “death”, and “stuhl”, which means “stool”.

CONTRACT BRIDGE HIDDEN CHANCE It is obviously better to give yourself two chances to make a contract rather than just one. It is important to keep this in mind before settling for the most straightforward line of play. Take this case where you’re in five diamonds and West leads the queen of hearts. You certainly can’t relax when dummy appears, since you have only 10 sure tricks. However, you should not pin all your hopes solely on the 50 per cent chance that East was dealt the ace of clubs. Instead, you should seek an approach that might give you a better chance than that. One possibility is to win

the heart lead, draw trumps, cash the A-K of spades and exit with a spade. If the suit is divided 3-3 and West wins the third spade, you are home free. This line of play is better than relying exclusively on the location of the ace of clubs, but it is still not the best approach. A superior play is to let West’s queen of hearts hold the first trick! This unusual manoeuvre offers you by far the best chance to make 11 tricks. It is clearly better than playing the A-K and another spade, because it avoids the risk of East winning the third spade lead when the suit is divided 3-3. In the actual case, once you let West win the queen

by Steve Becker of hearts at trick one, nothing can stop you from making five diamonds, whatever West does next. You win any return, draw trumps, discard a spade on one of dummy’s high hearts and establish an extra spade trick by cashing the K-A of spades and ruffing a spade. If the spades don’t divide 3-3, you can still fall back on the possibility that East has the ace of clubs.
