‘MEETING ON THE MOON’… Rosemary Prior and Rose Jones of the Parkes & District Historical Society invite locals to the special exhibition in the Henry Parkes Museum to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Henry Parkes Museum Remains ‘Moonstruck’
If you have missed out on all or some of the significant celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing last month, don’t fear as the Henry Parkes Museum’s special exhibition is still ongoing. One of the Parkes & District Historical Society’s members, Rosemary Prior, put in a lot of work and care into correlating lots of information into an amazing story. “We are all amateurs and volunteers doing the best we can,” said Rosemary. The feature piece of the exhibit are two items on loan from Dorothy MacDonald. Her parents, Jean and George Stanford from Peak Hill, both worked at the telescope during construction and the moon landing. They received a NASA certificate signed by all three astronauts for their support of the first lunar
landing. The second item is a signed framed photo of George with his dog at his tractor looking at the telescope being built. Five times more visitors than usual streamed to the museum over the anniversary weekend from all over Australia and overseas. “People enjoyed our display, especially our feature on how the radio telescope was build,” said Rosemary. She remembers driving out to the construction site on Sundays as a child to look over the fence, and watching the moon landing at school. “My husband, Bruce, lived opposite the site and grew up with it.” Rosemary said it was very special compiling the exhibit as it is so much part of the history of Parkes. “It put Parkes on the map!” By Maggi Barnard

Rhonda Brain How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here? I moved to Parkes in 1989. Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? I’m retired so I just swan around. What is your favourite thing to do when you have free time? I have several favourites. I read, of course! Watch old western and musical movies, research war and Jewish history and do cryptic crosswords. What makes you proud? Hearing from ex-students about the way they are nurturing their children, especially in brain development, from birth. If you could be an animal which one would you choose, and why? A bear, so I could hibernate in winter.

For the first time ever two people have won the annual astrophotography competition of the Central West Astronomical Society (CWAS). Phil Hart of Victoria, with his evocative animation titled ‘The Moon in Motion’, shared the prize with Peter Ward of NSW with his beautiful image of the Orion Nebule called ‘Stellar Cauldron’. Entries for this year’s eight categories came from all over Australia and were judged by world renowned astrophotographer, Dr David Malin. The categories were deep sky, wide-field, solar system, nightscapes, animated sequences (scientific and aesthetic), junior and a themed section Memories of Apollo. David not only assessed technical skill,
but also looked for entries that captured the beauty of the sky and the intrinsic interest of astronomy in an aesthetically pleasing manner. “The high quality of the images is a testament to the outstanding skills and talents of Australian astrophotographers”, said AstroFest organiser John Sarkissian. The winners were presented with the David Malin Awards at the CSIRO Parkes Observatory’s open days for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The competition’s exhibition was officially opened at the anniversary celebrations and will remain on show at the CSIRO Parkes Observatory’s Visitors Centre for the next year. Last year’s exhibition was viewed by over 200,000 people Australia-wide.

Baker Dental, a long established dental practice in Parkes, has seen some changes over recent months. Dr Daniel Terranova joined the team in March 2018 to work with Dr Tim Baker and Dr Chris Xu.

Mayors Meet On Maternity From The Bush To The Big Smoke Matters
The group visited the Giants HQ where they met co-captain of the GWS Giants, Callan Ward.
The school holidays ended with a fun trip to Sydney for 11 Aboriginal students from Parkes, Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo. The group included five students from Parkes namely Ajay Goolagong, Emily Helm, Michael Riley, Nicayden Greenwood and Kyah Turnbull. The students participated in the annual Active Citizen Program of the Central West Police District. The packed program started with a visit to the GWS Giants AFL Club where they watched a training session, went on a tour of their facility, met players and watched a game. It was a rare opportunity and the participants really valued the experience. The Marine Area Command of the NSW Water Police also provided a tour of their facility and some of their boats, which included a ride in Sydney Harbour. The weather could not have been better and this was the first cruise on Sydney Harbour for most of the young people. Cumberland Council organised a cultural experience at Pemulwuy. The suburb is a
practical example of reconciliation and is named after a local Aboriginal warrior. The group learned more about the warrior and the history of the local area. The young people painted their first pair of clap sticks, which is a ceremonious occasion, and took part in other traditional games and activities. “This trip was an amazing experience,” said Senior Constable Daniel Greef. “It provided a number of once in a life time opportunities for both the staff and participants.” Participants also took part in various local cultural activities; visited local businesses and community groups to find out why they give back to their communities; and discovered local career opportunities that were available to them and could build their skills. The program will conclude with a leadership camp in Canberra and Jindabyne. They will climb to the summit of Mount Kosciusko, visit the Royal Military Academy, Duntroon, and the Australian War Memorial including a Last Post ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The Mayors of Forbes and Parkes and council representatives met with the CEO of Western NSW Local Health District, Scott McLachlan, last week to look at actions to address the maternity needs of the region, particularly the shortage of obstetricians. “It is clear that an interim arrangement will be needed, but only hand-in-hand with a longer-term strategy to future-proof maternity services at both hospitals,” said Mayor Ken Keith of Parkes. “The parents of the region need to be confident that they will have a high level of care and we will not rest until this is achieved.” Scott said this could only be achieved by working together, and in a show of good faith agreed to facilitate a meeting with key experts, including the CEO of the Rural Doctors Network, the CEO of the Primary Health Network, key health staff and the Mayors. “We need to explore a new way to create sustainable models for regional health,” said Mayor of Forbes, Phyllis Miller. “We cannot continue to do things the same way and expect a different outcome. By working co-operatively let’s see if a new approach can be developed and modelled in our area.” The opportunity to better utilise the hospitals’ operating theatres was also discussed. Increasing the surgery done at Parkes and Forbes would mean less people need to travel away for operations and is well worth considering. Ken said that is was very reassuring that there was a common need to find a solution. Scott told local media representatives last week the shortage of medical personnel was impacting the whole region with 50% of towns in NSW reliant on locums.

Wellness Wise Don’t Chew That! Do you find yourself gnawing on a pencil when you’re deep in thought? Do you like chomping on ice cubes to keep your mouth cool? While these everyday nervous habits aren’t likely to cause major health problems, they can result in chipped or cracked teeth and inconvenient dental repairs. If you feel compelled to pop a pencil in your mouth or create crushed ice instead of letting your refrigerator do the work, consider softer-on-the-teeth alternatives. Such as chewing sugar-free gum. Doing so increases saliva production, tames the acids in your mouth and strengthens enamel. Apples, carrots, cucumbers and celery are other sensible choices when it comes to satisfying your need to chew. These

Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk Far too many women in Western NSW may be unaware of their risk of breast cancer, despite the fact that 9 in 10 women diagnosed don’t have a family history. “The risk is real for every woman aged 50 to 74. One in eight women in NSW will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and less than 10 per cent of them will have a family history,” said WNSWLHD Breastscreen Manager, Meg O’Brien. “That’s why all women in this age group should screen for breast cancer, regardless of whether they have a family history.” “By detecting breast cancer early, breast screening not only saves lives but also reduces the likelihood of a woman needing invasive treatment.” “The more having a mammogram with BreastScreen NSW becomes part of your normal two-yearly health routine, the easier it is to keep going.” To book a mammogram with BreastScreen NSW, phone 13 20 50, or book online by visiting breastscreen.nsw.gov.au.

YOUR HEALTH Matters
Your Pain Is Not Black And White One in five Australians live with chronic pain. Many Australians are new to the notion of chronic pain, as many believe that pain should go away when tissues heal after an illness or injury. This is not always the case. Chronic pain is a complex condition characterised by pain that persists beyond the normal healing time of three months. It is not always possible to pinpoint the cause of the pain and can be very frustrating for all involved. Chronic pain can be intense and unrelenting, and can lead to various degrees of disability if it is not managed well. Pain management needs a multi-pronged approach. Medication is one element and the other two major elements are physical and cognitive therapy. Getting the best from pain management will involve optimising a range of strategies into practice on a daily basis, which can take time and effort to learn successfully. A medication review with a pharmacist can assist you with pain management and can improve your quality of life. Medication reviews allow you to get a better understanding of your medications while the pharmacists can also make suggestions to see if anything can be made better, safer or simpler! There is also a range of resources and support available for those living with chronic pain. Come visit our friendly, passionate pharmacists at Parkes Pharmacy to learn more about optimising your chronic pain management.
