DUBBO CITY LIFE Comment by TIM PANKHURST MANAGING EDITOR

Good news expected on palliative care

I’VE been keeping an ear out during the week for more news on expected improvements to palliative care services in our region. I commented here last week on the NSW Government’s announcement that it will fund a palliative physician position for the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD). Since then, palliative care advocate Dr Yvonne McMaster got in touch with Dubbo Photo News to point out that what wasn’t immediately decided was WHERE the position would be based. The WNSWLHD covers a wide area – from Lightning Ridge in the north to Oberon in the south – and cities similar in size to Dubbo (such as Bathurst) could argue they are equally deserving of being the base for our new palliative physician. Also, Dr McMaster is concerned that if the position is not filled by mid-June it may be lost (something I’ve since been assured won’t happen); she’s also concerned it could be difficult to recruit a suitably qualified physician. Drawing on her own career-long experience in palliative care, she believes the Sydney-based palliative physicians generally have partners who are already in jobs in the metropolitan area, which could be an obstacle to getting them to move inland. Dr McMaster added: “My thinking is that UK- or Ireland-trained doctors are relocating anyway and won’t be bound to any one place yet,” and so the recruiters should look overseas too. It’s not without precedent in NSW. “In Coffs Harbour they had Dr David Bird

from New Zealand for three years, and then Dr Dan Curley from the UK, and in Broken Hill they have UK physician Dr Sarah Wenham (who came with her husband who works for the Flying Doctor),” she pointed out. So, Dr McMaster’s suggestion is for the position to be advertised as soon as possible, and as widely as necessary. Through her local federal member of parliament, Dr McMaster asked for clarification from Minister for Immigration Peter Dutton about any limitations to an overseas physician being appointed via the skilled migration programs if a suitably qualified local couldn’t be secured. Mr Dutton confirmed in September that there are no major restrictions, and in fact there are some additional incentives for foreign doctors to come to regional areas of Australia. In a further update, the news for Dubbo and our region is looking very promising, with an announcement imminent on where the position will be based. A spokesperson for WNSWLHD told Dubbo Photo News on Tuesday that they will soon have a new palliative care specialist as part of a $3.06 million investment by the NSW Government to improve the care and choices for patients. “The funding is part of the NSW Government’s biggest ever palliative care investment of $100 million over the next four years, including $17.4 million in 2017-18 – on top of the approximately $210 million spent on these services each year. “A Palliative Care Clinical Stream Meeting will be held this week to discuss the Palliative Care Specialist role in Western NSW Local Health District, including where the position will be based,” the spokesperson said. “Western NSW Local Health District will do everything they can to fill the position by the end of the financial year and will be advertising widely, including overseas, to ensure the best possible person is recruited.” That’s good news and great progress!

Cleaner water Journalist John Ryan’s story last week about Dr Toby Piddocke and the difference that native reeds can make to farm dams – keeping the water cleaner – prompted one Dubbo Photo News reader to point us to these reeds growing in the holding pond next to Delroy Park Shopping Centre. On closer inspection, the water does appear to be remarkably clearer than you’d expect.

Correction: Arthritis & Osteoporosis NSW WE ran a story in our November 30 edition about local support groups looking for new ways to better serve their communities, given the challenges of the 21st century. The story titled “Support groups being hit by 2017 problems” mentioned the Dubbo Diabetes Support Group and the Dubbo Support Group of Arthritis NSW, amongst others. Arthritis & Osteoporosis NSW has contacted Dubbo Photo News and asked for the story to be clarified, which I’m happy to do here: “I would like to clarify to the readership of Dubbo Photo News that there will be no merger between the Arthritis NSW Dubbo Support Group and the Diabetes NSW Dubbo Support Group,” said the CEO of Arthritis & Osteoporosis NSW (AONSW), Sandra Vincent. “Our Support Groups provide an important function for our organisation. They help raise awareness within local communities, support the organisation through fundraising and promoting membership, and assist each other by encouraging people to self-manage their condition.

“It is important that the activities of our support groups remain focused on arthritis and related musculoskeletal conditions which now affect 1 in 4 Australians from all walks of life,” Sandra added. “While the members of our support groups are free to meet and share ideas with the members of other support groups, such as Diabetes NSW, they have no authority to ‘merge’ to form one entity. I have spoken with the CEO of Diabetes NSW, Stuart Eastwood, who confirmed that the situation is the same within his organisation,” Sandra explained.

Whoops! IT is a very busy time for us at Dubbo Photo News, producing bigger papers and burning the midnight oil more than usual, and that’s the only excuse I can offer for some of our regular features being wrong in last week’s paper. The Trivia Test, Matchmaker and Who Am I were repeats of the previous week’s quizzes. We’ve corrected it for this week. The only up side for us is that, given the number of people who contacted us to let us know, you obviously enjoy these extra features in our paper! – Until next week, Keep Smiling!

Awakening Health Dubbo would like to thank all of our wonderful clients for a fantastic year, we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you in 2018.

WHAT can $16 billion buy? A Queensland mega mine, oh... sorry. Not. For. Sale. What’sApp. The whole thing. That’s what Facebook paid to buy it. Thirty-six Airbus A380s. Survival for the Great Barrier Reef. Sixty-four thousand Virgin Galactic flights to space. 1,194,029 Indian Tigers but there’s only about 2500 left in the wild so... A year of funding NASA. A year of funding Australia’s criminal justice system. Education for 1,017,941 kids in NSW public schools for one year and, given there’s only 800,000 of them, let’s do it! Vaccination for 35.5 million kids in Australia against the HPV vaccine to combat cervical cancer. As there’s only 4.8 million kids here, we’ll get change! Restore vision through the Fred Hollows foundation for 640 million people but the foundation says there’s 32.4 million people in the world who are blind and don’t need to be... so again, we’re ahead. Foodbank Australia says hunger is a hidden crisis in Australia with over 3.6 million people suffering food insecurity at some point every year. Twenty-seven per cent of those are children. Let’s say we do a $250 grocery shop for each of them which means 64 million trolleys of food (or 17 trolleys per year per person), which covers those lean times. We are so on a roll here. Shopping with $16 billion in your pocket is a dizzying thing! We ought to know. It’s what has been predicted we’ll spend on Christmas this year. Phones, drones and round beach towels; inflatable pool float unicorns, Trivia on the Loo books, telephone docking stations, eyeshadow palettes, personalised chopping boards. Now, not everyone celebrates Christmas, but for argument’s sake, this big wad of cash spread across 9 million homes in Australia gives us around $2000 per household to spend. Can you afford $30 from your Christmas budget to give to those in need in your community? If every Australian did it, there’d be $270 million on the table, just for the spirit of giving at Christmas. That’s a lot of prawns. It’s a slab of beer. One. We’ve plenty of charities in the region. The Salvos for example have a Christmas appeal and monies received go towards giving shelter to people with nowhere to sleep (imagine that at Christmas?), to give gifts to kids who would otherwise get none (there’s many more than you might think), or make hampers for people struggling to afford basic meals. No charity will send out a catalogue of their needs in the junk mail ever. If you’re going to be a statistic this year, you may as well be one that made a difference. feedback@dubbophotonews.com.au

HEALTH CARE

IN BRIEF

First and last meet at the end of an era for private Maternity Unit By SARAH HARVEY

AS the closure of the Dubbo Private Hospital’s Maternity Ward nears, staff of the hospital have brought together the hospital’s first born and lastborn babies as they reflected on the unit’s history. Over the years the hospital has provided newborns and their mothers with post-natal support services, but a lack of occupancy has led to its closing. Anna Gillett was the first baby born at the private hospital, and on Monday, December 8, the now 23-year-old met with the last three babies, Toby Jenkin, Reggie Curtain and Frederick Goldsmith, as well as their families and staff. The gathering was organised to celebrate and recognise the hard work and commitment shown by staff – past and present – over the years. Dubbo Private Hospital would like to thank all of their staff for the incredible dedication shown to their patients and the Dubbo community for their continued support over the years. They would also like to extend a warm welcome to Victoria Daly, the new CEO of the hospital.

Bodangora Wind Farm components arrive TURBINE components for Bodangora Wind Farm near Wellington were unloaded after landing in the Port of Newcastle last week. The blades are from Turkey and China, the towers from Malaysia, and the nacelle from Germany. The nacelle, which houses the turbine’s generating components, weighs 96 tonnes. The blades are 63.7 metres long and weigh over 15 tonnes each. It will take nine to ten specially designed trucks to deliver components for each of the 33 turbines, from January through to May 2018. When completed, the wind farm will comprise a total of 33 turbines, and will generate 361 gigawatt hours – enough energy to power 49,000 homes.

From the bookshelves By Dave Pankhurst The Book Connection, Dubbo PRAYERS FOR PAGANS “No tawdry manger for the city store, A choir no less, and seven Santa’s. Tinsel and lights. Somewhere a star. And overall, a dollar sign, writ large. Coercing a crowd to buy, buy, buy, for cousin Jack, And mum and dad, and family and friends. But food! Exotica from all the world With wines to tease a gourmet’s tongue. But now the crowds have gone. It’s Christmas Eve. The staff, anxious for home have all gone, Leaving the store to Cleaners Bill and Fred. Old men , who’ve many a Yuletide seen. They’ve come. The tired tinsel and bruined out fags to sweep. And wash the scuff marks off the floor. When, Lord, will they see a man Trampled, bruised and bundled out of sight. The carefree, careless crowd had done its worst. He’s dead . . . . . . So bad the bruises and scars, They can’t see who he is . . . . Until, they see the nail marks in his pierced hands Thanks, Lord, for being part of me, not just now, But in all the hurly burly of life, For being present in the children’s smile, The old man’s whine, the mother’s care. For being where men are , Lord, But most of all, For once, Being a man . . . Amen.”

Appropriate for Christmas, this prayer has been taken from “Prayers for Pagans” by Roger Bush. The message through the book uses ĐŽŶǀĞŶƟŽŶĂů wording, no doubt considering that as in the ŝďůĞ ƚŚĞ ƚĞdžƚ ĂƉƉůŝĞƐ ƚŽ ƚŚĞ ǁŚŽůĞ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ĐŽŵŵƵŶŝƚLJ͘ /Ŷ ĐƵƌƌĞŶƚ ƟŵĞƐ͕ ƚŚĞƌĞ ĂƉƉĞĂƌƐ ƚŽ ďĞ Ăůů ŵĂŶŶĞƌ ŽĨ ĂƩĞŶƟŽŶ ƚŽ ĚĞŶŝŐƌĂƚĞ ƚŚĞ ŚƌŝƐƟĂŶ ƌĞůŝŐŝŽŶ LJĞƚ ƚŚĞ ĐŽŵŵĞƌĐŝĂů ĞůĞŵĞŶƚƐ ŽĨ ƚŚĞ ƐĞĂƐŽŶ ĂƩƌĂĐƚ ĂƩĞŶƟŽŶ ƚŽ ƚŚĞ ďƌŽĂĚ ƉŽƉƵůĂƟŽŶ͘ The choice of the prayer ĞdžƚƌĂĐƚĞĚ ĨƌŽŵ ZŽŐĞƌ Bush’s book combines the ƚŚŽƵŐŚƚƐ ŽĨ Ă ƉĂƌƟĐƵůĂƌ mentor of mine in my teenage years.

BOOK LAUNCH

WHO AM I?

New book’s proceeds will go to breast cancer charities By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY IN the 23 “and a bit” years writer Jen Cowley and breast awareness advocate Donna Falconer have known each other, neither would have thought in a million they’d be co-launching a book together today (Thursday, December 21). “My Time” tells Donna’s personal story of her years raising money and doing community work in support of women with breast cancer, to then being one of those women herself. “I’d actually said 2009 was going to be ‘my time’ for myself and to take care of myself. Little did I know what that actually meant; my time to be brave, my time to face cancer; my time for a lot of things,” Donna told Dubbo Photo News where she spent a large part of the last decade as Sales Manager. “The first chapter is actually called ‘Careful what you wish for’. Donna remembers sitting on a beach, looking and wondering what was on that horizon for her as a 40-something, single mum and an almost empty nester, thinking this year’s got to be ‘my time’. And it was,” Jen Cowley said. “That theme continued all the way through. Through her experience with setting up Look Good Feel Better here in town, then suddenly it was her time, to use it. The Wig Library... it was her time to use it. The other play on words with ‘my time’ is that she gives her time,” Jen said. Giving information to encourage women to get their breasts checked and potentially save lives has become a signature of Donna’s community work and no surprise that she is donating 100 per cent of proceeds from book sales to two national charities: the Breast Cancer Network Australia and the McGrath Foundation. “A lot of work went into getting the funds to the book. We were very conscious of the fact that we wanted every single cent to go to those two nominated charities.

We sought funding through various charitable organisations including the Rotary Clubs of Dubbo and the RSL Club,” Jen said. “We put that money toward holding an exhibition called Abreast. The money we raised from that went towards this project and money from the sale from the book all goes to the charities. “Donna’s put a lot on the line for

this cause, financially, emotionally, in terms of her time; so for her not to be taking one cent from the proceeds of the sale of this book is extraordinary,” said Jen. Next year, Donna plans to take her Groovy Booby Bus on tour again visiting towns where the BreastScreen mobile van is scheduled to visit. “I’ll speak, sell my book and try

to get women to be proactive and make their appointments with BreastScreen,” Donna said. “Once people meet Donna and hear her story, they’ll think they’re buying a book but they’re buying information and awareness, and they will then spread that information and awareness. This humble little book will literally save lives,” Jen said. Breast Cancer survivor and Breast Cancer Network Australia Ambassador Raelene Boyle has written the foreword to “My Time”. “The message is twofold – firstly, be breast aware, and secondly, that there is help out there so nobody has to face breast cancer alone,” Raelene writes. “There’s a lot of practical information in here. It’s not the sort of stuff you’re going to get on websites. Its personal experiences. It’s for anyone suffering from any life-threatening illness. There’s stuff in there about the emotional impact, not only on the sufferer but on the family,” Jen said. “It will make people realise this could happen to them or anyone they love. I think that’s the value with anything that Donna does, she puts that personal face on the story. “It wasn’t her idea to do the book either. People had come to her on her Groovy Booby Bus tours asking, ‘How do we support you? Do you have merchandise?’ “There are a lot of people who have had breast cancer and there are a lot of people who have had as interesting and remarkable stories as Donna, if not more, but she has the platform through which to use her experience to raise awareness and to do something positive with a really difficult experience. “With Donna, everything is for other people,” Jen said.

IN BRIEF

Legal Aid acknowledges year of support LEGAL AID NSW lawyers provided a total of 2298 advice and assistance services last financial year across Dubbo, the Orana and far-west NSW. The top three issues people in Dubbo and district sought free legal advice for were caring for children following family breakdown, difficulty with debts, and consumer rights. This year Legal Aid NSW Dubbo partnered with Headspace to support young people’s rights, worked to help people affected by bushfires at Coolah, and supported Aboriginal people who are on bail to stay out of trouble and out of jail.

:::NUM3ER5 74,000 The number of people who sought the help of homelessness services in NSW during 2016-17, which is a 43 per cent increase since 2013/14. Of those, 22,000 clients were escaping domestic and family violence, 13,800 were unaccompanied young people aged 15-24, and 5400 clients were aged over 55. The figures have been released by the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare.

‘Space’ gets a place at Short and Sweet Film Festival By JOHN RYAN KELLIE JENNAR is a Dubbo-based writer and filmmaker and a short film she’s produced with Erifili Davis has been officially selected for the Short and Sweet Film Festival, an international event staged in Utah in the USA. This recognition has come out of the blue and caught the two writers by surprise, with all the filmmakers on the shortlist invited to attend the live screening and award ceremony on January 13, 2018. “I only received the selection notice on Friday, and Erifili and I would both love to attend and represent Dubbo and we are looking at different financial support avenues to do so,” Kellie said.

With cash for everything tight in the frantic lead-up to Christmas, Kellie’s applied for a quick grant from Regional Arts – they’re capped at $1500 which would leave a shortfall of $6000. It doesn’t help that the Utah film festival is held during one of the busiest tourist seasons of the year, with prices for flights and accommodation through the roof, especially at such short notice. Kellie is hoping for support from the local community – she believes it will be a great showcase for our city. “As part of the trip to Utah, we would hold meetings with the festival organisers to learn what makes a successful international festival and bring that knowledge back to the Orana Re-

gion,” Kellie said. “Erifili and I will create a documentary of the journey about how a regional filmmaking team got their work selected into an international festival and the flow-on benefits for the lo-

cal community.” Kellie is an active member of the Outback Writers’ Centre, Dubbo Filmmakers and Dubbo Film Society, while Erifili is an active member of the Dubbo Filmmakers and local theatre groups as

well as a long time and passionate youth advocate. All these organisations host an annual festival in Dubbo, and both filmmakers assist in organising those events. The short film, made locally in Dubbo, is one of only seven films selected worldwide in the comedy category. Titled “Space”, the plot is based on the rising tensions when a young man and woman try to share space – and wifi – at a local library. “Filming ‘Space’ with the terrific team of Margaret Anderson (director) and Jude Morrell (sound) was enhanced by the coaching we received on set from the workshop facilitator, Gareth Tilson (from the Australian Film, Television and Radio School) who also gave me

invaluable help with the editing,” Kellie said. “We were lucky to work with two talented young actors, the fabulous Erin Walsh and my long-suffering son (lucky he loves acting!) Marcello Davis. “The workshops would not have been possible without the team at Western Plains Cultural Centre who are so supportive of film-making in Dubbo,” she said. You can read about the film festival at www. shortandsweetfilmfestival. com If any Dubbo organisations would like to help Erifili and Kellie travel to the film festival and award ceremony in Utah, please contact Kellie on kelliejennar@ gmail.com

Bus campaign against coward punches By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

JOAN KENNEDY is a Dubbo local who, at 75 years young, is determined to make a difference in our community, and if a campaign she’s initiated with the help of Langley’s Coaches and Aztec Signs is anything to go by, she is likely to succeed. The grandmother has been moved into action because of too many deaths as a result of coward punches and too many perpetrators walking free. “I have seen so much suffering. To have a number of young men affected in their prime like that. I was devastated they died and there was no punishment for the perpetrators. Ninety people have been killed in single-punch assaults since the year 2000. All young men. It’s such a waste,” Joan told Dubbo Photo News. “I think young boys need to think of this before they start fighting, to understand how easily situations can go very wrong.” Hearing story after story in the news, the retired nurse made efforts to get support for a One Punch Can Kill campaign, like the one in Queensland. “I did try in 2015 for a long time but had no luck. In 2016, I ordered stickers from Queens-

land and they were sent to Phil and Fiona at Langley’s Coaches, but they weren’t allowed to use them because they had a Queensland government logo on them. “It seemed no matter which way I turned I couldn’t get the help I needed,” she said. Fiona and Sharon from Langley’s encouraged her to create her own resources and owner Phil Langley agreed. Joan’s prototype was too small for the back windows of buses and with help from Aztec Signs the result are large stickers which show a clenched fist with the letters s-to-p written in red on the fingers, beside the phrase “One Punch Can Kill”. “I’d say by next year around 30 of our coaches will have them on the back. Those coaches go all over Australia and I’ve got about eight going to the Commonwealth Games,” Phil said. “Wally Lewis, the great footballer, started a rally in Queensland and a march in Brisbane streets to honour those young men who have died. It seems to happen and nothing’s done. So I’ve got to do this. I hope it works well,” Joan said. It goes to show, it really does take just one person to make a difference.

The Flying Doctor on standby over Festive season

ALL across the Festive season the pilots, doctors and flight nurses of the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section (RFDS SE) will continue to deliver aeromedical healthcare to the furthest corners of Australia, as they have done since the service began in 1928. Last year RFDS SE emergency evacuation teams at Dubbo and Broken Hill attended 14 emergencies on Christmas and Boxing Day alone. They dealt with a wide variety of cases, including acute renal failure, spinal and limb injuries, a perforated bowel, diabetic complications, a serious heart attack, chronic pancreatitis, pneumonia and respiratory distress.

UPGRADING an existing bridge and creating a bypass around the city is the best solution for Dubbo traffic, according to local resident Garry Braithwaite. The retired railwayman describes building a third bridge as a ‘stupid proposal’ and a waste of tax dollars. The plan by Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to construct a new bridge over the Macquarie River was last updated for the public in May, with the River St option listed as ute. the preferred route. This proposal would involve w road extendcreation of a new son St in West ing from Thompson Dubbo, crossing the railway ing the line and following herly river in a northerly ersdirection, traversrie ing the Macquarie ng River and linking n with River St in North Dubbo.

So much fruit available in supermarkets is picked too early and artificially ripened in storage and with sprays, which is why it goes off so quickly. These mangos are very different to the ones you’ll find in supermarkets.” He’s also brought cherries over from Orange. “The mangos are $20 for a bucket of 8, or $25 for 2 kilos of cherries.

Protect your pet from fireworks noise this New Year’s Eve By DARCEE NIXON

AS the New Year approaches, Dubbo pet owners are urged to plan ahead to ensure neighbourhood pets are less stressed by the Dubbo New Year’s Eve firework display. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) Dubbo recommends exercise and lots of food for your pets before the show starts. They also recommend leaving the radio or television on to mask the sound... but perhaps not on a channel with coverage of a fireworks display! These are just two examples of six being issued by the RSPCA with the support of Orana Mall Dubbo in their capacity as one of fireworks official sponsors. Further recommendations can be found on their flyers, which are being distributed by mail to all Dubbo residences. The Dubbo New Year’s Eve firework display is a family-friendly event and will be held on Sunday, December 31, at Apex Oval. Gates will open at 5pm with the fire-

works starting at 9pm. Entrances to Caltex Park are located on Kokoda Place, Cobra Street and Coral Crescent, with the Cobra Street entrance closing at 8pm. There is free parking available at the Dubbo Showground, which can be accessed from Wingewarra Street.

Proceeds from the gold coin entry will go primarily towards the Dubbo Rescue Squad, with some donations to other local charities too. People are encouraged to bring their own picnic, snacks, blankets or chairs and enjoy other entertainment on the night including water skirmish, carnival

amusements, a sky high ride and twilight markets. For more details about the night, contact Peter Judd on 0437 847 263, visit dubbofireworks.com.au or facebook.com/DubboFireworks. Additional flyers can also be obtained by contacting Orana Mall Centre Management on (02) 6882 7766.

EXHIBITION

Students make their mark in art display By NATALIE HOLMES

SHOWING that the Higher School Certificate is about more than examination scores is an exhibition recently opened at Dubbo’s Western Plains Cultural Centre. Make the Mark highlights art from the Local Government Area’s recent high school graduates, a display featuring a selection of Year 12 major works. Described as an energetic survey of the creativity and technique of the region’s youth, the exhibition is in its second year, following its successful debut in 2016. Taeisha Keevers was one of the Dubbo College Senior Campus students chosen for the exhibition. The teenager, who turned 18 the day before the exhibition launch, takes her inspiration from nature and loves drawing birds. Her major work “Aviary” reflects that love. “I have been interested in art since I was 12,” she explains. “I like to do intense illustrations, experimenting with pens and pencils, I like drawing. “It’s inspiring to capture things on the page. I like drawing from my imagination too.” Being chosen for Make the Mark was a huge surprise for Taeisha, who described the experience as

“an exciting and different way of getting your work out there rather than just at school”. Taeisha is not the only artist in her family – her grandfather is a huge influence. “My Pop does oil painting. He paints people and local landscapes.” Taeisha hopes to use this public exposure as a stepping stone to further study or to a career that is art-based. “I would like to be an artist in the future,” she said. “Professional art-making is hard to get into, you have to be really talented. “This is an opportunity to show that I can do things, it’s good exposure.” Seventeen-year-old Charlotte Duffy is also one of the featured artists in the exhibition. Although she is not planning a career as an artist, she was thrilled with the inclusion. “I’m pretty excited,” the former Senior Campus student said. “I never thought that one of my artworks would be included. I feel really honoured.” Inspired by two-time Archibald Prize winner Del Kathryn Barton, who is known for her quirky portraiture, Charlotte decided to immortalise her two sisters, Emma

and Kate, using acrylic on canvas in bright colours. The finished product is called “A sister is both your mirror and your opposite”. “I wanted to show their differences and similarities,” she said. Surprised by her own ability, Charlotte was pleased with the end result. “I was very shocked. I didn’t think it would be that good. I’m really happy.” As for the benefits of the exhibition, Charlotte said it’s a great opportunity. “For school-leavers to put their art in a gallery – Face you wouldn’t get this kind Painting of experience or exposure Dippin normally.” Dots PCYC Career-wise, Charlotte hopes to become a primary school teacher and use her art skills to teach children. “I did art all through high Jumping school. Castles “I will definitely keep making art, but it will be incorporated into other things.” and Charlotte was encouraged much more during her secondary education by art teacher Mrs 23rd December 5.30-8.30pm Radnidge. “I had the same teacher in and chairs for a great family night Years 8-10 and again in Year 12. She was amazing.”

2017 REVIEW

Tully the Donkey: Where is he now? By SARAH HARVEY

EARLIER in the year Dubbo Photo News met with rising star Tully the Donkey. Thanks to his appearance on the front cover of Dubbo Photo News and a growing online following, this rescue Donkey has managed to steal the hearts of many during 2017. Now, as the year wraps up, we’ve decided to check in with Tully and see how the Insta-famous life is treating him. So, Tully, what have you been up to since you last spoke to Dubbo Photo News? Wow, so much has happened since then, starting with my big ‘snip’ that was traumatic for all involved – me, the Boss, and the vet. I may have been under the influence of drugs when I bit down on the Boss’ arm. She ended up in Emergency with seven stitches in her arm and a permanent donkey mouth print, while I was knocked out and made two stone lighter. We’re both still recovering. The numbers have also grown around here since then. Because of my high media profile, we ended up with a rescue goat in September. Her name is Lucy. We’ve also taken on an orphan goat, Billie the Kid, and the Boss is attempting to hatch guinea fowl eggs. It never ends. Has your Instagram following continued to increase over the past few months?

Tully the Donkey modelling his new halter. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Yes, I think we’re hovering around 550 followers. We’ve increased our following in recent months by spreading the love – some people like donkeys, some people like goats. Unbelievably, some people even like dogs. I heard you’ve recently become the face of the Good Samaritan Donkey Sanctuary – how did this happen? This happened not long after my Instagram following really kicked along in early August. The Boss approached the Sanctuary about whether they were interested in us raising awareness of their charity and they were happy for us to do it. To date we’ve raised awareness of the needs of a couple of donks from the Good Samaritan Donkey Sanctuary, in particular Blinky

who was rescued from Central NSW. We were told at one stage that several hundred dollars had been donated due to posts on my Instagram account for Blinky’s care – vet bills, farriers, feed. She was in pretty bad shape. There’s been a change of personnel there lately, so we’re hoping to kick off again with some donation raising in the New Year. Can you tell me a little bit about the organisation? The Good Samaritan Donkey Sanctuary’s mission is to rescue and rehabilitate, or otherwise provide care to donkeys whenever the need arises. It’s a not-for-profit registered charity and receives no government funding, relying totally on public donations. They’re always looking for

support as they look after a lot of donkeys, as well as raising awareness of animal welfare through public events. They have a Facebook Page where they share stories about their donks and events that they hold or attend. How can people get involved? They have a donate page on their website www.donkeyrescueshop. org.au – and there are some really cool things there too that would make great presents. What’s been on your Christmas wish list this year? Carrots. A big bag of carrots... or apples. I’ve already received an early present of a new halter and fly mask, so I’m not expecting much. It’s beginning to heat up again, how do you manage to stay cool throughout Summer? The Boss makes sure we all have clean, fresh, cool water. She tops our troughs up regularly through the day and checks we’re all drinking enough. The goats have also been getting some special treatment with wet towels over their hutch (bush air-conditioning). There might even be some frozen treats for us if this weather keeps up. Oh, and I do like watermelon. What are you most looking forward to in the new year? I don’t tend think more than a day ahead... sorry, a feed ahead. I hope the feed, back massages and visitor treats keep coming.

Dubbo Photo News December 21- 27, 2017

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

2017 Winners and Losers Greg Smart ❚ OPINION THE end of the year is award ceremony time – which means it is time for the annual Dubbo Weekender Awards. Fatigued by the dual citizenship fiasco, President Trump’s late-night Twitter rants and rampant Populism, the judges have had a plethora of nominees this year, from the theatre of the politically absurd, the world of current affairs, and the sporting arena. Congratulations to the winners of our non-traditional Award categories.

The 2017 Only Poll That Matters is Election Day Award:

Minister Mathias Cormann wins this award with this summary of Australian Democracy: “Only Australians, Australian businesses, Australian organisations should be able to influence Australian elections via political donations, whether that is through political parties, candidates, Senate groups or indeed significant political campaigners.”

The 2017 Paying down the Debt Economic Management Award Goes to the Australian Federal Government for campaigning on its economic management credentials, but allowing the national debt to surpass $500 billion, an increase of over $300 billion since September 2013. The claims of not having a revenue problem have worn very thin.

time for due consideration. This was economic corruption and class warfare of the highest order, and should not be worthy of any award.

2017 Sports Award for Outstanding Achievement: The sporting achievement of the year was undoubtedly the Matildas soccer team. Sportsmanship, effort and skill on the field, without the boozy off field dramas. A class act.

The 2017 New Product of the Year Award: No, not the latest iThing, food trend, or social media app, the judges have chosen the Incumbent By-election as this year’s winner. The by-election where the incumbent stands for re-election is a

to the Commission’s findings by stating the seal of confession outweighs Australian law. The judges assume these taxfree institutions will be paying redress to sexual assault victims rather than expecting taxpayers to foot the bill.

The 2017 15 Minutes of Fame Must Surely Be Up By Now Award: In a field inhabited by the usual reality television home renovators, celebrity chefs and wellbeing bloggers, the award goes to Australian boxer and teacher Jeff Horn. Helped by excessive media coverage from our ABC, he grabbed headlines for participating in a ‘sport’ designed to inflict brain injury upon your opponent whilst simultaneously being presented as a hero of the people.

Goes to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for admitting he shouldn’t have mentioned the 30 consecutive losing Newpolls as the impetus for challenging Tony Abbott’s leadership – just as the latest Newspoll showed the Coalition trailing Labour for the 25th consecutive time.

The 2017 One Person One Vote Democracy Award: In a year that saw both major political parties alternatively courting foreign donations or railing against foreign donations, Finance

The 2017 Journalism Award

Journalism came under assault in 2017, with the White House dismissing unfavourable press coverage as Fake News, over 250 journalists held in gaol globally on spurious or no charges, and the car bomb murder of a journalist investigating corruption in Malta. Closer to home, it has been another stellar year for Four Corners. One Nation, Adani, the Panama Papers, Murray-Darling Basin Authority were just a few issues explored by Four Corners – and showed there is still a place for investigative journalism in the fastpaced media cycle.

The 2017 People Power Award:

The 2017 Political Hubris Award: The nominees for this award are vast, and include, but are not limited to: Barnaby Joyce, Bill Shorten, Malcolm Turnbull, Julie Bishop, Pauline Hanson, Malcolm Roberts, Luke Foley... but there can be only one winner. A past winner of this category, Attorney General “everyone has a right to be a bigot” George Brandis has triumphed again, with his declaration to Senate Estimates that being a paid lobbyist while holding office was “appropriate and commonplace”. Congratulations to the highest law officer in the land.

used and misappropriated. From a field including the usual suspects, such as “Australian values”, “un-Australian”, in the “National Interest”, and “pub-test”, plus the newly adopted “game changer” and “fake news”, the Award goes to “dropped” – e.g. a new album/movie has “dropped”, when “released” would work just fine.

The 2017 Trickle Down Economics is a Falsehood Award: The revelations of the Panama Papers confirms that Trickle Down Economics does not work. The money flows upwards then gets hidden with the help of complicit governments. Cutting penalty rates does not lead to higher employment. Tax-free corporate jets will not lead to a higher minimum wage. Despite this, the Trump Administration gifted massive benefits to the super wealthy and corporations earlier this month in a Tax Bill with handwritten amendments, rammed through in a late night sitting of the Senate with no

new phenomenon created by the dual citizenship fiasco, and the judges believe they will be around for a while yet. The 2017 Lack of Self Awareness Award: This category could have been created for Donald Trump as it seems so improbable that a 71-year-old person could be so detached from normal society. But in the year of the Same Sex Marriage Survey and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, this award is split between the Catholic and Anglican Churches. To the Anglican Church for declaring the government has no place in the bedroom, and the Catholic Church for responding

The Same Sex Marriage Survey could have been sorted in Parliament but taking the question to the people was a Core Promise. After a divisive and expensive campaign, the people exercised their power and voted ‘Yes’. After setting this precedent, perhaps the people could be given the opportunity to be surveyed on a Federal ICAC or energy policy? Hello Malcolm?

The 2017 Dubbo Weekender Person of the Year:

Not a person but a gender – in what has been called the loudest roar ever heard, women have broken the silence surrounding sexual harassment and assault by men in positions of power. Women deserve more than this award. The #metoo social media hashtag was the start of the world awakening to the male power imbalance and the awakening must continue.

BIG ISSUE

MISCARRIAGE:

Suffering in silence Only someone who has been through the heartbreak of losing a baby during pregnancy understands the pain of miscarriage. And yet, as many people will attest, it is still very much a taboo topic and something suffered behind closed doors. Three brave women hope to put an end to this silence by speaking out about their personal tragedies and shedding some light on this sad subject. As told at NATALIE HOLMES.

Teagan, 27, from Mudgee When she publicly announced the loss of her unborn twin babies on social media, Teagan received an outpouring of emotion from friends and family who described the experience as ‘traumatic, heartbreaking and horrible’. But along with her sadness, Teagan wants to tell people, particularly women, that this is not something they should suffer in silence. “Miscarriage isn’t spoken about. Kind of like saying Voldemort, there is such a taboo around it. And I have found it happens to so many women, more than we realised. “Zak and I are emotionally ruined and traumatised from this situation, but if it wasn’t for him getting me to talk about it with others, I wouldn’t have the courage to deal with this. “Although I’m feeling sore and sad and lost all my confidence, I wanted to encourage people affected by miscarriage to speak up about it. Support from those around you makes a huge difference. “If I had kept this to myself I think I would still be in a very dark place. Don’t be afraid to talk about it, couples don’t need to suffer in silence.”

Tiffany, 31, from Sydney Sadly, Tiffany also recently experienced a miscarriage. She has felt a lot of support, but also the experience of avoidance.

` If I had kept this to myself I think I would still be in a very dark place. Don’t be afraid to talk about it, couples don’t need to suffer in silence... a

“I don’t think people are open to talking about it much and then that creates a feeling of shame like we shouldn’t discuss it. “My little sis recently asked me if I would prefer her to not tell me she is pregnant when she is in future, in case I got sad. I explained I would be more hurt by being excluded from a special part of her life and that I would still be happy for her. “I think a lot of people get treated differently like this and most don’t ask ahead of time like she did – they just start avoiding certain topics. “Everyone goes through their own journey and copes differently. “But I think in order to move forward in life and maybe try for another pregnancy, it’s important for people to be supportive which includes being willing to talk, if that’s what the person wants, and continuing to treat them as you always have without making them feel like an outcast simply because you don’t want to make them sad. “(Miscarriage is) so common and it also affects the fathers too, but people don’t even touch that side of it.”

Lisa, 39, from Canberra Lisa suffered two miscarriages, one at 18 and another at 24. She feels lucky to have two healthy children who are now aged 17 and 10. But the memory of that hurt has not faded with time. “Miscarriage is the most heartbreaking thing that I have ever experienced in my life. “I was at work when it happened. The pain was excruciating, the bleeding wouldn’t stop and most of all I was so scared that I knew something was really wrong with my baby. I was only nine weeks pregnant but it still ripped my heart out and I will never forget that day I lost my lit-

tle baby. I will never forget that day when the doctor told me, ‘I’m sorry, there is no heartbeat.’ “I thought I was alone in this, but over the years I have spoken to many women and friends and most of them had experienced a miscarriage just like me. It is very common, more common than I thought it would be. “I lost two babies to miscarriage and the doctors could not tell me why. But I am very lucky to have had two children. I am one of the lucky ones to have had children. Many families don’t get that chance.” A friend on Teagan’s timeline read her sad announcement and decided to speak out too. “In the past couple of months, this has also affected four of my very close friends (that I know of) and I always feel so helpless in how to care for them and what can be done to help,” she said. “Time and time again, it appears that just talking about miscarriage and making it a subject which isn’t taboo is what can help most. Please support your friends and family if this is something they are going through. It’s so, so common – it’s just not recognised or spoken about.” Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows that there are 2500 perinatal deaths in Australia each year. If you or someone you know has suffered the loss of a baby, Sands Australia offers a 24/7 phone line for miscarriage, stillbirth and newborn death support.

What started out as a straightforward but stressful house moving quickly turned disastrous. “We were moving homes and Peter had an accident in the back of the rental truck and he’s up in hospital,” Cheryl said. “A friend of mine in Muswellbrook put an add on Facebook asking if anybody could help and I’ve had so much help it’s unbelievable, fantastic, I don’t know what we would have done without it.” Members from Dubbo’s Rescue Squad were quick to answer the call along with plenty of other willing helpers.

Now a new movement to lift the stigma associated with mental illness and suicide in the Dubbo area is gaining momentum. Nine men and women from Dub-

Copping to the beat

MEANWHILE, police are finding there’s a strong flow of information from the community thanks to their Facebook page which often features the area’s “Most Wanted”. This week a series of raids were conducted across the city, chasing down warrant offenders. “We intend to keep up the pressure on all these wanted people, we will use all tactics available to us to apprehend them and put them before the court. If it means disrupting those in the community that might want to hide these people, turning up at their doors at all hours, then that’s what we will do,” Inspector Dan Skelly said. The cops are only as effective as the information they receive and while social media can be a double-edged sword, creating prob-

FOUR brand new probationary constables started their careers at Dubbo’s police station this week – straight out of the academy. Three will continue to work out of Dubbo and one will be stationed in Wellington. “It’s important that the new probationers are put with senior police that will guide them through situations they may be confronted with, and help them in their decision making,” Inspector Dan Skelly said this week. “We need to ease them in slowly, where we can. Wwe want them to start off right. You never know what can happen in policing so it’s important we give probationers the right start,” he added.

lems as well as solving them, it’s certainly a fantastic way to promote real engagement between police and the community.

Roads are a danger SUB-STANDARD roads may play a part in fatal crashes, but the nuts behind the steering wheels are all too often a contributing factor. I saw a video online this week where a lunatic in a sports cars almost caused three separate crashes in the space of less than a minute. Luckily police were able to act on that vision and find the alleged driver within just a few hours. When you see and hear all the warnings from police and other road safety advocates about driving carefully during the busy holiday period, it’s bizarre to see such a disconnect when it comes to the behaviour of individuals. NSW has had a horror start to the holidays when it comes to the road toll. A young bloke injured in a crash near Narrabri a few weeks ago died from his injuries this week, while we’ve seen fatal accidents at Coolabah and Yeoval as well. The Narrabri incident highlights that while media focusses on crash deaths, there’s a huge backstory of not only serious injuries which result in death a short time later, but also those people who are disabled or affected for the rest of their lives, and this has monumental impacts on their families and loved ones. The next time you see someone blithely holding a mobile phone to their ear while they’re going

around a roundabout with a car full of kids, hopefully you can get some good dashcam footage to send to police. Drive safe.

Hot hot hot, and not in a good way

HOW hot has this week been? And it’s been frantic as well, maybe the heat addles peoples’ brains at this time of the year. I was talking to a tradie mate of mine and asked him how it’s going and he said he was busy helping people prepare for the end of the world. At this time of year people find they need all sorts of things done to their house that they haven’t bothered with during the prior 11 months, and if the poor old tradies don’t get it done it’ll be the end of the world. The end of the first world maybe, although we thankfully had a couple of new ceiling fans fitted on Tuesday and I would have been a sweltering frantic mess without them.

OPINION & ANALYSIS THE TOONS’ VIEWS

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

Warning: Crystal meth/ice “a most dangerous drug” I WRITE with a blunt warning. Tragically crystal meth/ice is having a shocking impact on many suburbs and areas of Australia. It is true to say now that in many parts of Australia, crystal meth/ice is now cheaper to buy than even a takeaway pizza. It is very disturbing. I write to warn readers of this most dangerous drug and to highlight to readers that it is never worth dabbling with a drug like ice. It is so dangerous and so addictive. Ice is tearing a massive number of families apart. This sadly includes damage to a massive number of Indigenous communities. In some communities, grandparents, parents and children are all using crystal meth. There is a very big misconception in the community that alcohol is the big issue for Indigenous Australians. Nothing could be further from the truth. Close to 100 per cent of our clients have been impacted by ice and shock TV ads seem to be having no impact. You can buy ice in many parts of the country for as little as $5. We want to see governments everywhere developing rapid response teams to deal with a problem that has frankly got out of hand. People aren’t getting the help they need at the speed that is necessary. The answers lie in the development of rapid response teams. The under-reporting of ice is at a huge level. This problem is much bigger than people realise. People are being touched by ice everywhere. Young people are so vulnerable. One of the

biggest issues is that crystal meth is so potent, it does not take much for people to become addicted. People end up feeling like they are bulletproof and invincible. This is just one of the dangers of this drug. We are asking governments everywhere to take action because of the scale of the problem. I would also like to highlight, people can get more information about my organisation by visiting www.adac.org.au. Scott Wilson, CEO, Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council •••

BEAT THE HEAT

Heat prevention on the boil as city hits 40C

“Installing external awnings and internal blinds can cut out 65 per cent of the heat,” according to Cathie and Phil White from Sunstopper Blinds and Awnings. PHOTO: DAREE NIXON

By NATALIE HOLMES WHEN the outside temperature is pushing 40 degrees Celsius, many people head to the pool or the nearest shop to buy an icecream. But the key to a cooler, more comfortable home is to keep air conditioners serviced and to invest in internal and external sun protection, according to local experts. Air conditioning repairer Alby Harper said it’s important to keep air conditioner maintenance up to date. “Have it cleaned once a year, shut the water off and cover the unit over winter,” he said. Taking the call from a hot roof, Alby said it was a busy time in the industry. “Everyone’s busy at this time of year.” Preparation for the warmer months was paramount, according to Alby. “We get emergency situations where the pump dies but it’s a good idea to keep the unit

serviced.” Johno Greatbatch covers the whole Central West cleaning air conditioning units and says he carries plenty of frozen water with him at this time of year. “A lot of people don’t think of it, and plan it for the week before Christmas,” he laughed. He advised that having air conditioners cleaned and serviced was the best option. “Prepare for summer and winter (with reverse cycle air conditioning) by having them cleaned twice a year,” he said. A dirty air conditioning system can be a health hazard and add financial strain. “One of my big clients experienced a 70 per cent loss with people getting sick in the company. “Getting it cleaned can also save up to 30 per cent on electricity because of the airflow improvement. By not doing that, air conditioners are pumping dirty air around and not doing their job.”

Cathie White runs a blind and awning business and says that having adequate window coverings was an ideal way to keep out the heat and cool down the home. “Installing external awnings and internal blinds can cut out 65 per cent of the heat,” she said. “It makes a huge difference.” This form of sun protection in the home also reduces power costs. “You’re not having to use heating and cooling as much. It’s effective for colder weather too. “If you don’t have blinds or covering over the (window) glass you have no buffer and the heat/cold goes out and you struggle to maintain the temperature inside. It works out to be more cost-effective because you’re not paying as much in power. “Blinds and awnings are a oneoff cost that last for years. And our blinds are Australian-made so they are made to suit Australian conditions,” Cathie added.

COUNCIL WATCH

Dubbo Photo News’s independent reporting on and analysis of Dubbo Regional Council activities

“We did get it wrong”: Mayor Ben Shields on Number One oval by YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY DUBBO CYCLE CLUB (DCC) president Mathew Gilbert left Council’s Monday night meeting with some hope that the club’s concern over Victoria Park Number One Oval’s proposed redevelopments – and the subsequent relocation of the club – would be sincerely addressed by councillors. Not averse to progress, the DCC was left with a bitter taste after the initial announcement of planned changes were made in local media without any consultation with the club which has called Number One “home” for many decades. Since the election of a new council, discussions have taken place with all stakeholders, including the cycling club which earned many mentions throughout Monday night’s Ordinary meeting of council. A motion was tabled by Councillor Etheridge proposing that all sporting stakeholders at the Victoria Park Ovals precinct be acknowledged, that council proceed with the Stronger Communities grant funded project to redevelop the space, and that a Cycling Facility Working Party be established made up of the mayor Ben Shields, interested councillors, the DRC director Community and Recreation Murray Wood, Dubbo Cycle Club president and vice president, four members of the DCC redevelopment sub-committee and a representative from Cycling NSW. It was proposed that “the Cycling Facility Working Party provide advice and assistance to Council on... an overall Master Plan for a new cycling facility to be developed in the short term, the priorities for expenditure on infrastructure at the new facility funded by the $3.9 million Stronger Communities Grant in order that council can meet the

grant expenditure timelines, that the next phases of development and associated infrastructure at the cycling facility as defined by the Master Plan should be targeted for funding and how the new facility can recognised the long and successful history of cycling in Dubbo.” The motion also proposed that the Victoria Park Redevelopment Advisory Committee membership be altered to recognise the formation of the Cycling Facility Working Party. “I certainly support this motion as the way forward. I’m very aware of the issues surrounding the Victoria Park and the need to keep that grant funding,” Mayor Ben Shields said. “I certainly agree to move forward on the back of all sporting clubs who have made representation to us. The cycling fraternity in Dubbo has made a very strong representation to us; a very, very strong case about how council did proceed with this at the start, how the powers that be in Dubbo said that the start was totally and utterly wrong, and we did get it wrong in the administration period,” Cr Shields said. The “powers that be” were

Mergers: Council seeks right to view secret KPMG report COUNCILLOR Stephen Lawrence’s parting comments to council for 2017 brought to their attention a recent legal decision in Primrose and NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet. “It was a decision which was fundamentally seeking access to what’s known as the KPMG Report,” Cr Lawrence said. “The KPMG Report was the report that State Government relied upon to support the policy of forced council mergers. Various people have had opportunity to see it. It’s consistently been the position of the State government that people in the public shouldn’t have access to the KPMG Report and perhaps that was understandable in a point of time when the policy that forced council mergers was still underway. This State government’s official position is that forced council mergers is no longer policy. What was sought in the civil matter was access to that report. Large parts of the decision are redacted, edited and basically the KPMG Report still remains secret, he said.

reference to Member for Dubbo Troy Grant’s announcement in August 2017 of a $28 million package to upgrade regional facilities including $8 million dollars to facelift Victoria Park. “The reality is we did not consult with the cycling fraternity in recent times with this new proposal. However, I’m very keen to make sure the cyclists in Dubbo have the absolute best opportunity and best facility we can work on together to get them feeling a lot better about a potential move,” Mayor Shields said. “The cycling fraternity in Dubbo has already provided us with a wish list. I’m very keen to see that wish list adhered to, that we get through that process, that we put it into the Master Plan. “What is proposed is revolutionary and will attract big events to our region. It is something that must be supported. On top of that we must be aware of our history. “Cyclists have had a very long association with Victoria Park and their history, their strengths and their successes need to be celebrated. I’m keen to continue and strengthen that tradition in Dubbo,” he said.

COUNCIL NEWS... IN BRIEF Councillor Lawrence raised with the Mayor whether Dubbo Councillors as a whole of council community might have access to that report. He proposed that Mayor Shields communicate to the “appropriate levels of State Government and perhaps the local MP Troy Grant, ask that we in confidential session might have the opportunity to see this report”, Cr Lawrence said. Mayor Shields said he would attempt to find out.

Council to appoint internal ombudsman “watchdog” COUNCILLORS carried a motion on Monday night, December 18, that council should appoint an independent internal ombudsman. The acting general manager Michael McMahon was asked to investigate options for an interim and permanent ombudsman role in council.

“It’s high time we recognised the success of cycling in the city and we recognise that in the form of the working party. “I do support the cricket association, rugby union, junior rugby league, all the representations we’ve had so far over Victoria Park. We do need to move on this.” Councillor Stephen Lawrence spoke in support of Mayor Shields. “It’s been a learning experience for council because I certainly share your concerns Mr Mayor about the way this was announced. It’s always tempting in these sort of matters to go for the big media splash and have your funding commitment on the front page in the best way possible for the person who seeks to benefit from that publicity. “When one is dealing with a historically significant club and is dealing with a group of passionate citizens who care very deeply about their sporting facility, it is inappropriate to announce these things through the media and not to consult properly,” said Councillor Lawrence. The motion was carried soon after. “The track at Number One is like a fine wine. It was built to a standard not found elsewhere. It would be great to see Dubbo develop a western institute of cycling which a new facility would allow, but other towns have attempted the same thing and failed,” DCC president Mathew Gilbert told Dubbo Photo News. “There is no-one in Australia qualified to build a proper track and that has to be taken into account. Other regional tracks have been built by local contractors and, in some cases, they’ve actually sunk. “When you’re riding at 75 kilometres per hour, every millimetre of a track counts. It is very important to get it right,” Mathew said.

“The internal ombudsman would have the function of bringing greater efficiency to this organisation because, through his or her industry knowledge, and their qualifications in regard to things to do with council, they can quickly put to rest any concerns the public may have regarding any of the functions of the Dubbo Regional Council,” Mayor Shields said. “At the same time, they can report back to council on ways that we can better handle customer service. “It would also take stress off staff from having to deal with issues or complaints. “Our members of the community will be able to sleep better at night, knowing there is a watchdog over council making sure all our decisions, all our interactions and all our policies are the right and legal policies they should be following,” he said.

Email feedback@ dubbophotonews.com.au, post to our office, or phone Dubbo Photo News on 6885 4433 ••• Are parklands around Dubbo treated equally by the council? Green spaces in East Dubbo near Apollo Estate are dry and weedy, while parks in South Dubbo and Delroy Park are green with mown grass and well kept. How is maintenance determined and why can some residents enjoy well-maintained green spaces and others seem to be denied it? Council’s reply: Council does have Asset Classification Standards (ACS) for Parks, Sporting Fields and Natural Areas with different categories – Premium, Regional, District, Local and Community. An example of a Premium classification is the Dubbo Regional Botanic Gardens, Delroy Park is District, and Lunar Park and South Dubbo Park are in the Local category. The higher the ACS, the more infrastructure the community will see. Council also has Maintenance Services Level (MSL) which correspond with the ACS and prescribe the level of service each area should be maintained too. The higher the ACS the more regular maintenance works will be carried out and the shorter time frames set for defects to be fixed. The biggest difference the community sees is the height of the grass. Delroy Park is classified as District Medium. Both South Dubbo Park and Lunar Park are Local Medium and should be maintained to the same standard. The reason for the ACS and the MSL is that Community and Recreation has a budget to work within and the ACS and MSL helps Council work within that budget. Council has approximately 110 parks to look after so unfortunately not all parks can be maintained to the same standards. Local conditions may mean that sometimes parks are not maintained within the set service levels and these are identified and plans made to rectify them. Anyone in the community can contact Council on 6801 4000 to let Council know if there is overly long grass in a particular park or other concerns.

service area. From July 1, 2018, the three-bin service will be introduced to the urban areas of Dubbo, Wellington, Geurie, Brocklehurst and Wongarbon. This will include a 140-litre bin for mixed waste, collected weekly; a 240-litre bin for Food and Garden Waste, collected weekly; and a 240-litre recycling bin, collected fortnightly. Multiple unit dwellings are excluded from this service. The Domestic Waste Management Charge for the three-bin service will be $378. Mayor Cr Ben Shields said the matter was considered by Council based on a report from staff concerning a variation of the Regional Waste Services Contract which Council had previously entered into. “There has been a lot of feedback from the community that they were unhappy with the idea of their mixed waste bin only being collected fortnightly,” he said. “As a result, a request was made to investigate the feasibility of incorporating a weekly mixed waste collection service as the default service level in the three-bin collection area.”

PRESENTATION

Funding gives community a warm glow By NATALIE HOLMES

IT wasn’t just the hot weather that left a handful of Wellington citizens feeling a warm glow on Tuesday, as $50,000 was presented to various organisations as part of the Bodangora Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund. Round 1 of the funding, allocated by wind farm developer Infigen and made available to the Wellington community by Dubbo Regional Council, is geared towards projects that deliver social, cultural, economic or environmental benefits to the local community. From 24 submissions, eight recipients were selected and each received the amount indicated in their application. Mayor Ben Shields was on hand to present a series of giant novelty cheques prepared by Council, jokingly advising recipients to fold them up for their purse or wallet. “From private enterprise and community can come wonderful things,” he told the small gathering under the shade of Cameron Park’s trees. “Thank you to Infigen and to the volunteers who keep these things happening and keep the community going.” Infigen project manager Stuart Black and site manager Gavin Paul were also on hand to congratulate recipients.

Wellington’s Spirit of Christmas Lunch IF you are lonely and want to share Christmas with others, you are invited to join in for the free Wellington Spirit Of Christmas Lunch to be held on Christmas Day, December 25, at 11am. The venue will be the Wellington Bowling Club, Clive Street and bookings are essential. If you would like to make a booking or for further information please contact WINS (Swift St) on 6845 1606 or Christy White at Council Chambers (Cnr Nanima and Warne Sts) on 6840 1755 or drop in to see us. Transport is available – you must book in. Volunteers and donations welcome.

MACQUARIE CORRECTIONAL CENTRE OFFICIALLY OPEN Last week marked the official opening and commissioning of the Macquarie Correctional Centre in Wellington. This is Australia’s first Rapid Build Prison and only took 12 months to construct. The maximum security prison has four wings with four dormitory pods that house 25 inmates – that’s 400 beds in total. There are a number of workshops that are run at the centre to assist in rehabilitation. These include engineering, furniture and laundry. The new correctional centre will not only address the rising prison population but will create 220 new jobs for the region. I would like to acknowledge the work of our correctional officers, and thank them for their service.

SHOP LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY PERIOD In the lead-up to Christmas Day I’m urging the communities of Calare to back small businesses and shop local. The holiday season is when many small businesses work their hardest and employ more locals to meet the demands of the Christmas retail trade period. It is important we back our small businesses which are the engine room of our economy and we can do this by shopping local this holiday season. You can find something special and truly unique locally for family, friends and loved ones to enjoy and Calare has wonderful small businesses offering an abundance of choice.

ROUND THREE OF THE LOCAL SPORTING CHAMPIONS PROGRAM OPEN Applications are currently open for Round Three of the Federal Government’s Local Sporting Champions Grants Program. Grants of $500 are available for local athletes aged between 12 and 18 to assist with travel costs, equipment, accommodation and uniforms. Applications close on 28 February 2018. For more information visit the Australian Sports Commission website.

ROUND SIX OF THE HEAVY VEHICLE SAFETY AND PRODUCTIVITY PROGRAM OPEN Andrew pictured with NSW Minister for Corrections David Elliott, Commissioner of Corrective Services NSW Peter Severin and some of the Custodial Officers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Almost $100 million is available under Round Six of the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program (HVSPP). I’m encouraging local councils to work with local residents and industry stakeholders to identify and prioritise projects and submit an application. The Australian Government will be providing up to $5 million to cover 50 per cent of the total cost of each project under the HVSPP. Projects eligible for funding include: • Rest areas • Parking/decoupling bays • Technology trials • Road enhancements • Demonstration projects • Livestock truck effluent collection and treatment facilities The HVSPP is open for applications until 30 March 2018. The guidelines for completing HVSPP applications and more information about the assessment process, critical dates, and key contacts, are available on the Department of Infrastructure website.

ULYSSES Dubbo and Western Plains Social Motorbike Club extended an open invitation to other local motorbike enthusiasts to join their annual Toy Run on Saturday, December 9. The riders gathered at Dubbo Visitor Information Centre before leaving for the Dubbo Rotunda on Church Street, where they presented representatives of the Salvation Army Dubbo Branch with the toys that riders had donated. Many riders then continued on to the Narromine Golf Club. There was also a raffle and barbecue, with all proceeds donated to the Salvation Army and the Dubbo Rescue Squad. This event has been happening since 1984, when the first Toy Drive comprised of just five riders, and aims to spread joy to less fortunate kids over the holiday season.

SUDOKU EXTRA

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The Shootout pits the ten ladies with the best nett score from the year, playing in a unique nine hole drop-out competition. The lady with the worst score on the hole drops out until the last hole where the surviving pair tee off. It all came down to the final putt on the green and Sue drummed it! What a great way to finish off a fabulous year for the ladies who enjoy friendship and some tough competition on the luxurious Dubbo course.

Rugby on top in the sun and under lights Story by GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL

A CLEAR policy to redevelop Rugby as a premier club with a strong junior nursery established about five years ago is paying huge dividends with the boys in blue, white and red leading the Whitney Cup and in fine touch under the big lights in the McDonald’s Megahit T20 competition. Last Friday night the Rugby Liberty One-Steelers blasted the Western Plains Automotive CYMS Cougars off the park at No.1.

Dubbo Roos (rugby union) hooker Adrian Carey starred with the ball, claiming 4/20 with his leg-spinners while Cougars young skipper Ben Knaggs (45 not out) and Brock Larance (44) were the only two batsmen to worry the scorers. Experienced upper-over pair Nathan Munro (46 not out) and James O’Brien (38 not out) built on a blazing 28 from all-rounder Ben Patterson to steer the team home by eight wickets. Mel was at the ground defying the 30+ temperatures to capture some of the action. All-rounder Ben Patterson hit a quickfire 28 to get Rugby rolling

POOL

New season and water slide passes for city pool By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WHILE it’s an exciting boon for Dubbo to be hosting the Under-14 girls’ State Water Polo Championships this week, residents hoping to cool off tomorrow (Friday, December 22) need to plan ahead for changes to pool opening times. Friday’s hours for the general public are 5.30am to 8am when 25 metres of the shallow end without lane ropes will be open. From 8am to 4pm, the 50m pool will be closed for the championships to take place. After 4pm until 8.30pm, all normal access to the 50m pool for general public recreational swimmers resumes. The leisure pool will be avail-

able all day until 8.30pm for children under 10 years of age pending maximum capacity being reached. After the championships are done, it’s back to regular hours, Monday to Saturday 5.30am to 8.30pm, Sundays 10am to 8.30pm. Christmas Eve may close slightly earlier. The pool is closed Christmas Day. The pool has also introduced two new passes: the Summer School Holidays Family Season Pass and unlimited Water Slide Pass. “The Summer School Holidays Family Season pass is priced at $110 which covers all members listed on your Medicare card and is only available for a limited time,” Dubbo Regional Coun-

cil’s recreation coordinator Tracey Whillock said. “But that’s not all – for just $15 per person you can purchase a pass for unlimited access to the popular water slide,” she said. The Big Splash Pool Party packages are also back, offering 15 children and two adults unlimited access to the water slide for one hour and an exclusive party area which includes access to a shade shelter, barbecue, table and chairs for up to three hours for $150. “Party catering packs are also available through the DALC kiosk,” Tracey said. “Additional adults and children are required to pay the relevant admission fees,” she added.

DUBBO CYMS Old Boys gathered with family and friends at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Wellington last week to pay tribute to a great clubman. Lou Hughes was never a star league player but he was a loyal and “totally one-eyed” supporter of the Greens. He served on many committees and was the inspiration behind the Old Boys, a group that maintains links with people who have played with or supported the Fishies since the Catholic Young Men’s Society (CYMS) began playing football in 1947. Lou and his mates enjoyed a beer, but more than anything, helping out friends and family in times of need. One of their greatest gifts was reaching out to those who had become detached or lonely and inviting them to come to local games and trips around the Group. Lou was a tall man with a big

heart and the Old Boys pulled the rings on a few cans and shared one last drink with Lou as they paid their final tributes. Lou died in his sleep after a long illness. His haughty laugh and “Go you Fishies” shouts will be sadly missed when Tim Ryan takes his boys out in defence of their premiership in a few months.

Trudy Claven was in Dubbo’s first women’s soccer team LAST week we told the story of how the late Trudy Claven and her husband Hans had been instrumental in the formation of a Dubbo Soccer (now Football) Association. When I was looking through some old clippings I found a photo of “Dubbo’s first in the field”, the Dubbo United Ladies’ Auxiliary XI. The team included Maria Parlevlet, Roma Thompson, Margaret Esposito, If’a Boland, Betty Canning, Jenny Campbell, Mary Klaasens, Elly Winters, Marion Glover, Trudy and Toni Lam. Never in her wildest dreams would Trudy have imagined the growth of not only the game itself but the strength of women’s football across all ages. The thought of Dubbo producing Australian Women’s players (Matildas) in twins Ashleigh and Nicole Sykes was not even

Blokes, get yourself ready for a mate’s day at the races broached! Last week’s Dubbo Photo News also showcased Indianna Asimus who has just been named in the Australian All Schools team following a gold-medal winning performance at the Pacific School

Games, while Grace Maher is a young Canberra United A-League player who has also represented the Young Matildas. Trudy, I believe, was also a dedicated squash player – a real sporting pioneer in our city.

VINCE GORDON, the CEO of Dubbo Turf Club, called to let me know there is a big day planned on February 4, the first Sunday of racing at the redeveloped Dubbo track. We will have more information early next year but mark it on your calendars as Dubbo Community, Central West Lifeline and the Turf Club combine to create a fun day Sunday to kick start the new year. “We are supported by the Black

Dog Ride, the Blue Elephant program for Rugby Union, Group 11 Rugby League, Racing Mates and Headspace and other groups who recognise that young men in particular are much stronger when they gather together and belong,” Vince said. “The afternoon is about men of all ages and their female friends and partners spending time at a race meeting in a safe atmosphere conducive to making new friends.”

Athletes from 10 countries included many of the Pacific Islands and India as well as every Australian State and Territory. Jack was one of several Dubbo participants including brilliant young hockey

SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD Jack Allen’s year started with a big splash and ended the same way! The talented swimmer (pictured) broke all sorts of School, Regional and Country records in a medal-grabbing blitz early in 2017 and finished it in style at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide with two gold medals and a bronze! Jack stood proudly with his teammates and a golden smile after Games record-breaking relays in the 16-19yrs Multi Class 4x50 Medley and the 4 x

players, basketballers, touch footballers and several members from the Dubbo Athletics Club. For Jack Allen, the year 2017 will stay etched in his sporting memory forever. He added a second consecutive Central West Junior Rugby Union premiership (with Narromine) to his considerable trophy cabinet as well as his swimming “pool”! The only disappointment in 2017, was the fanatical Sea Eagles’ fans inability to watch his team in the NRL finals! Next year Jack!

THE RSL Diggers swimmers flocked to the pool for the last swim of the year on Sunday. It seems they were all determined to win a ham. The alternative of being roast Ducks if they failed to perform, ensured everyone was on their best behaviour! 24 ducks flapped from end to end aiming to snag the last of the Christmas hams. Amongst the keen competition for a piggy dinner, only one foul (breaker) popped up his head. The rest behaved well keeping their beady eyes on the clock and their beaks in check with the timers! In keeping with the spirit of this famous club, a lovely Christmas lunch followed the frolics in the pool and all the “lucky ducks” collected their winnings. “It was great to have all the partners of the Ducks join us for our last celebration of the year,” Judy Walsh told us. “The evergreen Ron Everett timed his 25 metre freestyle final to perfection, touching just 0.08 off his time to claim quacking rights,” Judy laughed. Judy sent a “big thank you to the staff at Photo News for supporting the Ducks throughout the year”. “I have had some great feedback about the Ducks news. Thanks very much for making the write up so en-

SPORT Sky high WHAT goes up must come down and you can almost see the look of inevitability on CYMS Cougars’ batsman Brock Larance. The Australian Under-17 Schools rep has all the makings of a class batsman but in the T20 McDonalds Megahit on Friday night the end came after a rapid 44. Brock was caught Patterson bowled O’Brien in what was another entertaining clash at No.1 Oval. The Under-14s sandwich the seniors with an innings before the big boys start and then another during the break. It gives the younger players a chance to watch talented players like Brock in action.
