ANOTHER BUMPER 72-PAGER DUBBO’S FAVOURITE!

Telcos v Business: ‘It’s a war zone’ IF you’ve been stuck for hours on the end of the line trying to get your internet connected or a bill query solved with your phone or internet provider, you’re not alone. Dr Michael Morandini, a chiropractor who runs his practice on Wingewarra Street, has been facing the endless hours on the phone trying correct contracts, disconnections and misdirected bills for six months. In each instance, he has resorted to contacting the industry ombudsman to help him solve his problems.

Drought is worst since 1982 THE 1982 drought still conjures up nightmares for farmers. The fact that horror dry stretch is being mentioned in comparison to the current drought was enough to bring NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to some parched properties just south of Dubbo on Monday to announce that Australian Rural Woman of the Year Pip Job would be taking on the role as the state’s drought coordinator.

Get me to the church on time PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle will walk down the aisle in England this weekend, which means they were (understandably) a bit too busy to pose for this Royal Wedding-themed edition of Dubbo Photo News. So we lined up a couple of look-alikes to stand

in for the happy royal couple in our photo shoot. Pictured is “Meghan” (real name Sophie Uren) making her way across Wingewarra Street towards St Andrew’s Chapel where our very royal cover photo was taken. Turn the page of this wrap to see

DUBBO CITY LIFE

Sportspeople and spectators enjoying the Victoria Park Sporting Precinct will soon have a 70-space car park to replace the 70-yearold trees that have been removed... such is progress. PHOTO:

Comment by YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

Good-bye, old trees

HONESTLY, I thought we were past this. That thing with Council where the experts get busy making their own decisions about the city, forgetting in the process to consult with the community about their thoughts on proposed â€œprogressâ€?. Since the new council sat at the city hallâ€™s table, the social responsibility cog has churned through past mistakes, flinging open the windows of policy making and inviting community voices into the decision-making processes, to join the discussion and even sit on committees, like the Street Tree Advisory Committee. â€œThe community has never been this far ahead as we are today with these councillors and we have never had the level of consultation that we now have,â€? SOS Dubbo Trees cofounder Barbara Sutherland told Dubbo Photo News. â€œA Street Tree Committee meeting was held on May 1, and to my knowledge none of the councillors or any of the community committee members were enlightened to the removal of 14 mature trees in Victoria Park,â€? Barbara said. â€œThis is just another example of a lack of consultation. Council will argue it is a â€˜streetâ€™ tree committee and in effect these are park trees, and in the sporting precinct. Nobody from the outside looking in would ever think our park trees were under threat. â€œI spoke to the internal ombudsman about how Council is breaching the Local Government Act by not being transparent (in) decision making processes in regards to consultation. They think itâ€™s sufficient to consult with sporting teams who use number two and three ovals. â€œI am of a completely different way of

SUPPLIED.

thinking. I think itâ€™s a wider community concern and council should have consulted widely with the community â€“ (but that) hasnâ€™t been done.â€? Councillor John Ryan attempted unsuccessfully to have the planned tree removal stayed. It is just another example of a lack of consultation â€œ(I cannot) understand why anyone who is involved with cricket would say â€˜okayâ€™ to (the tree removal) when you sit out all afternoon at games, in our hot summers without trees,â€? Barbara said. â€œWhat can be done? The 2040 Dubbo Strategic Plan is on Councilâ€™s website. All community members are able to make a comment. Please speak with your family and friends and encourage them to put their view on the website. If there are a huge number of comments, the concerns of the community will have to be taken into account,â€? Barbara urged. Close to our press time, Council did release a media statement about the removal of the trees at Victoria Park Oval. It said: â€œTo compensate for the loss of the trees that are required to be removed Council will be replanting a minimum of 26 trees in the immediate vicinity includ-

ing four super advanced Araucaria cunninghamii (Hoop Pine) to finalise the avenue between Bligh Street and Fitzroy Street. â€œThe remaining 22 trees will be planted around Victoria Park No. 2 oval and adjacent to the carpark to provide additional shade. The species chosen for this planting project is Quercus acutissima (Sawtooth Oak) that can grow to a height of 20 metres with a similar spread of canopy. This species is already planted around Victoria Park No.2 and is performing well as they are drought tolerant,â€? the Council statement added.

Dubbo history book launch: Friday, May 18 A REGULAR monthly series of talks by members and others from the local community hears stories from their lives or their family history. The series is called â€œShare Your Storyâ€?. Tomorrow (Friday, May 18), a member of the Dubbo and District Family History Society (DDFHS), Karlyn Robinson, will launch her book â€œDubbo Pioneer Cemetery: The Stories Behind the Headstonesâ€? for which she has done extensive research on the lives of people buried

in the pioneer cemetery. All are welcome at 2pm, WPCC Community Arts Centre, Wingewarra Street Dubbo. Cost is $4 for refreshments. Please RSVP at juniwil1943@gmail.com or phone 0417690495.

â€œThe Gameâ€? at the Black Box Theatre, Friday and Saturday LOCAL youth theatre group Black Box Creatives will stage their latest offering called â€œThe Gameâ€? this weekend â€“ Friday, May 18, and Saturday, May 19 â€“ at the Black Box Theatre. â€œThe Gameâ€? tells the story of a family preparing to move, but nobody is happy and no one wants to talk about it. The two kids just want to play their game console, Mum wonâ€™t get off the phone and Dad seems to be obsessed with making the perfect fritters. But when the children are sucked into a mysterious video game and must fight for their lives, the true meaning of family becomes apparent. This delightful comedy is suitable for 8 years and up. The play is written by Bradley McCaw and is directed by Camilla Ward.

Memories of the ‘82 drought return By JOHN RYAN

Lyn Sykes, ‘Royal Marriage Counsellor’ Lyn used to be a counsellor, succession planner and grief counsellor. How many years’ experience have you had as a royal marriage counsellor? Fifteen minutes as a royal marriage counsellor, but I trained to be a relationship counsellor in 1986. Why did you decide to be a relationship counsellor? I thought that I might be helpful. I had some counselling myself and it was helpful. I suspect both Harry and Meghan have had counselling individually already. She’s had a few rocky times, and he certainly has. Meghan is a divorcee – do you think that would be a problem? It’s obviously a culture change for the Royals. I always think that most people who have done something wrong try not to make the same mistake again. I’m not sure if the leap from whoever she was married to before to a Royal is necessarily the way to avoid difficulty, but I think it’s an indication that the Royals are catching up with the times. What are the biggest

issues that Harry and Meghan will face? I suspect there will be some significant cultural difficulties. When Australian people marry English you think that the culture is the same, but in fact the differences are significant. There’s a difference between the family that she grew up in and the family that he grew up in. They both appear to be pretty adequate communicators, and my theory is that anything can be overcome with good communication. I suspect they will have very good-looking kids. Have you had any previous experience counselling the Queen and Prince Philip? No, but I’ve seen the movie and I think it’s a miracle that they’ve managed to hold it together. I draw my vast experience from watching the mini-series “The Queen”. He was a pretty busy boy early in his married life and Harry has probably been a very busy boy up until now. Who do you think wears the pants in the relationship? I reckon in 2018 there’s one leg in each, which is common in most relationships today – it actually creates a lot of pressure around the fly if you’ve got a leg in each. I think

their lives will be controlled by a lot of other pants, which is probably one of their big issues. They will get plenty of advice, and the difficulty is: whose advice will they take? How big a role does the Queen play in the relationship? She’s deﬁnitely softened since Diana was killed. I suspect, according to what you read online, she’s got a very close relationship with Harry, so she may play a role. If she becomes disapproving of Meghan she will have a big inﬂuence. What’s the best thing about the royal wedding? It creates an opportunity for all of us to have a party and share in their bubble of happiness. In a world where there are some terrible things happening, I think a bright horizon is a good thing. I’m glad they’ve found each other, it might the best world news we get this year. Any pre-marital advice? I’d say “don’t sweep anything under the royal carpet because, if you do, it will grow to an elephant under the royal carpet and it could be very crowded under that carpet in the Royal Family”. I reckon they should go for polished boards. - Interview & photo by Wendy Merrick

Pushing into agtech for future of trade By NATALIE HOLMES

TAKING overseas air freight from a vision to a reality in the Orana region is just one of the suggestions made by Bernard Salt ahead of his visit to Dubbo next week. As the keynote speaker for the inaugural Orana@Work Employer Summit hosted by Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana, Mr Salt is a futurist well-known for his ability to use demographics and social data to predict trends in business and society. As part of the summit, he will discuss ‘Building and Connecting Stronger Regions’ and ‘Managing Generational Change’. In this region, he says that taking advantage of agriculture as a major industry and transferring into the global economy is the future. “A real push into agtech will be advantageous,” Mr Salt told Dubbo Photo News. Citing Toowoomba, Canberra and Melbourne’s Avalon airports as gateways, Mr Salt said Dubbo has the same potential

to link to the rest of the world. “Agribusiness products to be air freighted and having the infrastructure and the airport links to do it,” he said. “It will be ideal for Australia and the region of Orana and it will certainly be exciting to encourage entrepreneurship in agribusiness and looking at ways of scaling agribusiness, of growing, marketing and packaging and aligning with businesses in Canada, the US and New Zealand. “I would love Australian agribusiness to be as global and aggressive as international agribusiness. “Instead of being the best regionally, we need to be thinking globally and that is where we see ourselves on a level playing field with all the infrastructure, research centres and support.” In order to be competitive on a larger scale, Mr Salt said there needs to be synchronicity between stakeholders. “It helps if there is clarity and unity of vision from business and government leaders in the com-

munity, council and CEOs, all thinking and pointing in the same direction and knowing the community has their back. “It’s a bold vision but events like this help for Dubbo and Orana to articulate that vision to plan and time and to have the mechanism to measure progress.” Mr Salt said planning ahead is the key to moving forward. Planning for an international freight terminal airport to begin in 2024 needs to have planning begin in 2018. Unity among the 12 Local Government Areas is also the key. “Come out of the here and now and look at what we are doing in terms of development and pursuits in 10 to 15 years’ time. There are things that we can do that we should have done 50 years ago but there are things that we can do now. “To have 12 councils pointing in the same direction, to have a com-

mon vision and to think big and to make big shifts that can be a game changer for Dubbo and the Orana in the late 2020s.” The Orana@Work Employer Summit will be held at Dubbo RSL Club on Tuesday, May 22, from 8.30am to 4.30pm. Other presenters on the day will include recruitment expert Greg Savage, RDA Orana executive officer Megan Dixon, and other Orana business managers. The summit will bring together employers, HR staff, business chamber representatives, LGAs, small business and government departments. The main focus of the event will be forming recruitment strategy and innovation for future sustainability. Tickets to the forum start at $110 per person and can be booked online at https://rdaorana.worldsec u res y stems.com / orana-work-employer-summit/

APPLICATIONS are now open for the Community Road Safety Grants Program, with funding available for local initiatives ranging from young driver education programs to workshops for seniors. “The key to identifying and addressing local road safety issues is working with communities themselves,” Member for Dubbo Troy Grant said. “There are two categories of grants available: up to $5000 for smaller projects and up to $30,000 for more substantial projects,” he said. Round 4 applications are open until Sunday, June 10, 2018. Program guidelines and application forms are available online at roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au.

$224 million in new funding for agriculture A FEDERAL budget allocation of $224 million is hoped to grow trade and jobs by creating new agriculture, fisheries and forestry market access as well as supporting biosecurity systems. More than $51.3 million has been committed to grow agricultural exports, including funding for an extra six Agricultural Counsellors in key markets, and to support successful market access. “This will ensure we capture the gains from new exports agreements,” Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said. “The agricultural counsellor network helps farmers build strong relationships with key trading partners,” he said.

PHONE COMPLAINTS

‘It’s a war zone out there’ as small businesses struggle with big telcos By JUDITH WHITFIELD

IF you’ve been stuck for hours on the end of the line trying to get your internet connected or a bill query solved with your phone or internet provider, you’re not alone. The people of NSW are feeling more and more disconnected with complaints to the telecommunications watchdog regarding landline, mobile and internet services increasing by almost 30 per cent from the same period the year before. The Telecommunication Industry Ombudsman (TIO) received 89,914 complaints nationwide in the period July 1 to December 31, 2017, from residents and small businesses, up from over 65,000 for the same six months in 2016. Over 26,000 of these complaints were made by NSW residents. Problems with the National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout, phone and internet service quality, faulty equipment and poor customer service were some of the main reasons grievances were lodged. And the people of Dubbo haven’t escaped the problems, with small business owners and residents copping the complications of NBN switchovers, as well as suffering from unhelpful business models who have outsourced call centres overseas. Dr Michael Morandini, a chiropractor who runs his practice on Wingewarra Street, has been facing the endless hours on the phone trying correct contracts, disconnections and misdirected bills for six months. In each instance, he has resorted to contacting the industry ombudsman to help him solve his problems. “It began in October last year when we connected to the NBN,” Dr Morandini told Dubbo Photo News. After using his telecommunications company for eight years without problem, “the moment it went to NBN it became draconian and incompetent,” and he spent five weeks without his landline or internet connected. He was referred to an overseas

call centre time after time, experiencing staff who had trouble communicating fluently in English or being flexible with his requests. He tried to ask for the landline phones to be re-routed to a mobile to limit the interruption to his business, but to no avail. After five weeks he decided to approach the ombudsman for assistance. “Within 48 hours of making that call [his provider] said they could re-route my landline phones to a mobile.” The next incident happened after he received his first bill postNBN connection. Dr Morandini had “signed for a $190 per month package which included free calls from fixed landlines to mobile

“It takes a toll on business... And I’ll never be compensated for loss of time or good grace.

phones” with the telco transition sales team when they called him before the rollout. In January 2018, he received a bill for $700. He called them to rectify the issue, only to have the same experience as before and was repeatedly dismissed. “I couldn’t get their attention,” he said. “It took me a month of trying before I called the ombudsman. I didn’t think I’d have to do it again.” After he lodged his second complaint, his telco company called and explained that their NBN sales team was outsourced and they couldn’t honour the initial contract that was sold to him. They gave him a new contract at an increased price of $210 per month. “It’s a war zone out there,” he said. Ombudsman Judi Jones said, “The telecommunications industry in Australia continues to experience significant change. An increasing range of products and

services are being offered to consumers, expectations for the quality of phone and internet services are high, and the rollout of the National Broadband Network is changing the way we use telecommunications services. “Complaints about services delivered over the National Broadband Network continued to increase compared to the same six-month period in 2016. This indicates the consumer experience is still not meeting expectations for all. Recent changes to regulations and an increase in our powers to resolve complaints are positive steps that will help improve the consumer experience.” The NBN rollout is more than halfway complete across the country, with more than 3.7 million homes and businesses already connected. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2020, with more than eight million homes and businesses connected. NBN Co claims that in March 2018, 87 per cent of installations were completed correctly that first time and that only 1 in 100 connections experienced a fault. NBN Co’s chief customer officer for residential properties, Brad Whitcomb, said: “We’ve listened to the community’s feedback and are working hard alongside industry to make significant steps to improve customer experience, but we know there’s more to be done.” But it’s not just the NBN rollout which is causing customers to tear out their hair. The TIO six-monthly report indicates that almost 25,000 complaints were about mobile phone services, and over 26,000 were about multiple service problems, including billing. Dr Morandini is now onto his third challenge, receiving an overdue Sensis bill for $700 three weeks ago, with the company citing that his account was overdue and that if he did not pay immediately his credit rating may be af-

fected and his landline cut off. After being tossed between Telstra and Sensis, requesting a copy of the original bill (which was never received), he is planning to contact the ombudsman again. “I’ve been on the phone two hours a day for 10 days. I want the fully itemised original tax invoice with the telephone numbers that this pertains to. They have refused to supply it and they keep sending ‘cut phone off, credit reference threats’,” he said. Unsurprisingly, the last six months have been causing Dr Morandini endless amounts of anxiety. “It takes a toll on business,” he said. “My attention is diverted from customers and patients. And I’ll never be compensated for loss of time or good grace. “In some instances, patients haven’t been able to get through. It affects you dealing with the public. You’re worn out before you even start your day.” And he isn’t surprised by the increase in complaints made to the watchdog either. “I’ve been in business 45 years and never had a problem. Now I’ve gone from zero to 30 miles in the air with complaints in six months. “(Australia’s) telecommunications has gone from being the envy of the world to a shambles. Why was the country put through this? “All I want is competence.”

ANIMAL FRIENDS

Tingo the Dingo just made history By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY ASSISTANCE animals are essential for allowing people living with disability, physical or neurological, to navigate the world independently. For many years Craig Heading relied on the generous help of friends. “Friends and relatives had been doing shopping for me, for years. Then 18 months ago we got on a program with a nationally recognised assistance dog organisation and I started slowly to get my independence back. Waiting lists are long and it can be hard to get on a program,” Craig told Dubbo Photo News. Today an assistance animal helps him navigate steps and uneven pathways and prevents him from falling, trained to pull against Craig’s weight to help keep him upright when needed. What’s unusual is Craig’s assistance animal is a dingo named “Tingo”, trained since he was an eight-weekold at puppy school, and for the last 18 months under the supervision and scrutiny of Learners on Lead. “Tingo recently passed the assistance dog accred-

itation test, PAT or Public Access Test,” Craig said. “He is specially trained to assist me for several medical conditions, providing balance support, spatial awareness, directional guidance, medical alerts, and more. Dingoes have been tried in the past as guide dogs and assistance dogs but most attempts have failed,” he explained. “This is due to incorrect training methods previously applied to the breed. “Dingoes need positive reinforcement with rewards-based training – and lots of it,” he said. “Many people have assisted in the training – from children, other dog owners, volunteers, friends, local businesses, dog trainers and animal trainers. While Tingo is one of the first, if not the first, dingo to have passed the PAT test, he is not the first dingo assistance dog. “It is believed that credit goes to ‘Donna’ who was an assistance dog for someone in the 1990s which is before PAT testing was available.” Even though the L-Plates are off, training never ends.

YOUR NEW BINS ARE ARRIVING SOON! Dubbo Regional Council’s new Waste Collection Services are almost here! The new bins will be arriving throughout May and June and you may receive a new type of collection service, depending on your area. The new collection services will start after the 1st July 2018. If you have not received any new bins by this date, please contact Council on (02) 6801 4000. INFORMATION PACKS are being delivered with your new bins. Please refer to these packs for details about how your service will be changing.

Changes to your General Waste Collection Service Your current general waste bin will be replaced by a red lid general waste bin. Your new general waste bin will still be collected weekly. If you don't want your old general waste bin, place it on the kerb (empty and upside down - see image) within a fortnight of your new red lid bin arriving. After 1st July 2018, your new red lid general waste bin will be the only general waste bin emptied.

Classes will continue at Learners On Lead, a pet training business near Dubbo run by Karen Johnston. “Karen is a fantastic dog trainer, she is Delta qualified and she understands and loves dogs so much – Dubbo is so lucky to have someone like that,” Craig said. The time and energy put into training assistance dogs can never be underestimated and the general public must not distract guide dogs or assistance dogs when they are working. If distracted, handlers are left without support, which can put them at risk of dangers such as falling over or missing medic alerts. It is also important not to distract the handler. “At times people have called to me from behind, while navigating ramps or steps and this has caused me to nearly fall over. Even just turning to look often causes me to lose balance,” he said. Under federal law, assistance dogs and guide dogs are guaranteed full access rights to all public places including shopping centres, cafes, restaurants, offices, medical facilities, transport and playgrounds. It is illegal to prevent access and large on-the-spot fines apply.

1: Line your kitchen caddy with one of the Council-provided compostable bin liners 2: Place your food scraps into the caddy until it is ready to be emptied 3: Tie up the compostable liner and take your tied up scraps to your new 240L food and garden waste bin outside For more information, visit www.dubbo.nsw.gov.au FOOD SCRAPS

This project was supported by the Environmental Trust as part of the NSW EPAs Waste Less, Recycling More initiative, funded from the waste levy.

EDUCATION

Aboriginal languages to be taught at Early Childhood Services THE state government has announced a new program aimed at increasing the level of Aboriginal languages being taught in NSW early childhood services. According to the NSW Department of Education, the initiative, called Ninganah No More, aims to “increase the literacy and vocabulary skills of Aboriginal children across NSW, support Aboriginal children to develop into bilingual speakers, and to develop stronger links be-

tween early childhood education services and their local Aboriginal communities”. Member for Dubbo Troy Grant feels the program will be successful in its efforts to foster culture and identity in Indigenous people, as well as non-Aboriginal children. “Ninganah No More will be beneficial to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in the region. Research shows that learning a second language has long-term

For those receiving a new Food and Garden Waste Service, you will also receive a kitchen caddy and roll of Council-provided compostable bin liners. The following simple steps will assist you in correctly using these items:

Budget offers positive outcomes for region: Coulton MEMBER for Parkes Mark Coulton responded to last week’s federal budget announcements by highlighting the continuation of the Building Better Regions Fund with a further $200 million, $45 million of which will enhance regional tourism infrastructure. An additional $22.5 million for the successful Stronger Communities Programme is more good news for the electorate, he said. The $3.5 billion Roads of Strategic Importance initiative will upgrade key freight. Tax relief will see 57,185 taxpayers in the electorate benefit in the upcoming 2018-19 financial year. Also, more regional students will qualify for Youth Allowance by increasing the parental income cut-off by $10,000.

developmental benefits and this will be hugely valuable to our electorate in the future,” Mr Grant said. Dubbo organisations wishing to implement the program must apply to the department for funding and will be assessed for suitability with a view to successful implementation. Minister for Early Childhood Education and Aboriginal Affairs, Sarah Mitchell, said she is proud the NSW Government is continuing to put Aboriginal Cul-

ture and Heritage front and centre. “In 2017, NSW made history as the first state in Australia to pass legislation acknowledging the value and importance of language to Aboriginal people,” she said. “Ninganah means to be quiet, and the goal of Ninganah No More is to help ensure Aboriginal languages are no longer unheard voices in our community. I am excited to see the success of the program once it’s rolled out.”

AS excitement builds around the globe for this weekend’s royal wedding, one Dubbo woman has literally had a brush with Prince Harry – and she says it is a signature moment in her life. Amber Martin won her own local fame a few years ago when she began painting using shoe polish and she made a name for herself across the world. Last April she received an email from a Cape Town, South Africa businessman asking her to paint a very large mural of a polo scene. “At that stage I had no idea what I was painting. In fact, it was weeks before I received the actual reference photographs to paint from before I realised that it was Prince Harry and the famous Ralph Lauren model/professional polo player and Sentebale Ambassador, Nacho Figueras,” Amber told Dubbo Photo News. “I was jumping for joy, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I realised who it was. “Especially also that the

painting would be hung in such a prestigious residence as the Estate,” she said. The painting is a massive three by two metres and took eight months to complete and used seventeen tubes of paint and more than 50 brushes. Home to the famous Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the Val de Vie is a luxury lifestyle and residential estate and is situated in the Pearl Valley between the picturesque Drakenstein mountains. It features jogging trails, vineyards and fishing spots along the Berg River, as well as exquisite event facilities and outstanding restaurants that host numerous events. The Val de Vie residents are provided with an ultra luxurious setting. It turns out one of Amber’s friends in the UK had recommended her for the commission. “Being an Equine/Polo artist and having a keen interest in the sport of Polo has had its benefits. Over the past few years I have been painting my favourite polo players to help raise funds for Equine

Encounters Australia, which uses Equine Assisted therapies for military veterans suffering from PTSD and related mental illnesses,” Amber said. “This stemmed from my previous work as an accredited War Artist for the Royal Australian Engineers. “Word of mouth has travelled amongst the polo communities across the globe which now has inspired my own small business called A

Brush with Horses,” she said. Given Prince Harry’s philanthropy activities include founding the Invictus Games for damaged veterans, it’s no surprise Amber’s work and the philosophy behind her artworks captured the attention of the right people in this case. “It is my understanding that the developer had been told not only of the association between the polo community and my equine art, but also

Dubbo Photo News May 17-23, 2018

about the painting I had done of our Australian Invictus Team which had been gifted to Prince Harry in late 2016,” Amber said. In 2015, the Val de Vie Estate hosted Prince Harry’s own charity event, the Royal Salute Sentebale Cup, so the estate wanted a very large painting done to commemorate the special event, depicting the two major players in action along with scenes from the Val de Vie estate including the massive Drakenstein Mountains which serve as the backdrop.

“Finding out that (the painting) was of Prince Harry and Nacho Figueras was one thing, but it was also extra special to me to know that it was a depiction of the Sentebale Cup, Prince Harry’s own charity which supports children suffering and living with HIV,” Amber said. “The Sentebale Royal Salute Polo games which are hosted by various countries around the world help raise funds towards these programs and bring awareness of this vulnerable generation affected by the HIV/ AIDS epidemic. “The Sentebale Charity was founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso in 2006 and it supports the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people who are living with HIV in Lesotho and Botswana – the care and education programs provide the tools and knowledge so that they can live long, happy, healthy lives,” she said. On top of all that, Amber says her service in the Australian Army has given her a special bond with contemporary veterans and the trials they face readjusting to civilian life after being discharged from the service – she’s a huge fan of Prince Harry’s work in that area. “I highly respect him as a veteran and as a human being. He’s ex-military and his compassion for helping other veterans suffering from PTSD, or mental illness, or the wounded has been a big ‘tick’ from me,” Amber said. “He is true to his word and true to his charitable causes. I’ve never met him personally, but it would be a great honour. “Through the Invictus Games, veterans and serving members have been inspired to set new life goals and encourage each other. The Games give them a sense of selfworth and meaning,” she said.

YOUR STARS ARIES: Expect a mountain of work to take care of this week. You won’t have much time to catch up around the water cooler. Your health might suffer from the added stress; get some rest before it becomes unmanageable. TAURUS: You’ll accomplish something that will boost your self-esteem and help you discover a hidden talent you’d never have expected. Your family will cause you undue stress. GEMINI: You’ll spend most of the week at home for one reason or another. You may even decide to move out on a whim. At the very least, you’ll ﬁnally get around to painting that wall. CANCER: You’ll be uncharacteristically outspoken this week. Be careful: you may ﬁnd yourself having a hard time keeping someone’s secret. Whatever you do, don’t let it slip. LEO: The time is right to start seriously considering moving forward

with a real estate transaction. A closer look at your ﬁnances will reveal a surprise. VIRGO: You’ll feel pushed around this week. Keep your head down, and you’ll manage to tie up all kinds of loose ends. You’ll ﬁnd it easier than ever to communicate with others – people will actually start returning your calls, much to your surprise. LIBRA: You’ll feel inspired, and this might lead to the creation of a masterpiece. You’ll also attend an exhibit or a performance of some sort that will surprise and delight you. SCORPIO: You’ll enjoy a rich social life, and your friends will all want to see you at the same time. You’ll take part in a few large gatherings over the course of the week. You’ll always have someone to talk to. SAGITTARIUS: You may start your own

business this week. At the very least, you’ll make considerable progress toward a particular career goal. With a bit of luck, you’ll land a comfortable position that will carry you to retirement. CAPRICORN: Someone will confide in you, or you’ll accidently discover a shocking secret. Perhaps you’ll have to figure out a message in a foreign language or a cryptic comment made by someone important to you. AQUARIUS: You’ll be highly emotional all week, but your tears will be of joy, not sadness. One of your children will hit an important milestone, such as taking his or her first steps. PISCES: You’ll need to keep your emotions in check while negotiating. Be especially careful of laws and rules this week; even a minor slip-up could end up costing you dearly. The luckiest signs this week: Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius.

Medical degrees from regional universities looking healthy

Orana@Work Employer Summit tickets on sale

DUBBO region students hoping for a career in medicine – and to maintain their connection to home – received good news recently when the Coalition Government announced a $550 million investment in the Stronger Rural Health Strategy. The strategy aims to address the uneven distribution of rural doctors by establishing and supporting medical schools in a Murray-Darling Medical Schools Network – and that will include the University of Sydney’s Dubbo site. “For the first time, rural and regional students will be able to undertake the majority of their medical training right here at home, or in other rural areas,” Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said.

EMPLOYERS, human resource staff, business chambers, LGAs, small business and government bodies will meet at the Orana@Work Employer Summit to discuss the theme: Recruitment and Retention in Tight Times. Demographer Bernard Salt will discuss the workforce of the future and industry expert Greg Savage will workshop recruitment strategy and innovation in recruitment. Attendees will also hear from local experts speaking on practical strategies, including Jill Campbell (Earlyrise Baking Co) on supporting trainees and apprentices, and Kate Whitely (Three Rivers Machinery) on working with migrants. The summit is on May 22 from 8.30am to 4.30pm at Dubbo RSL Club.

CHARITY

Word on the street is: book yourself in for the fair By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

A new venue for the annual Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair guarantees lovers of books 20,000 reasons to save the dates, according to one of the organisers, Rotarian Peter Bartley. The hard-working team from the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie will throw open the barn doors – well actually, the pavilion at the Dubbo Showground – to welcome new and returning crowds on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, May 26-27. “We’re thrilled to have the new space. We’ll be doing our best to move as many books as possible. Prices are very good this year,” Mr Bartley said. Volunteers are also welcome to make themselves known and in the first instance can

contact Peter to find out the best times to assist. “We are grateful to get help every year from the RFDS Volunteers and the Men’s Shed,” he said. Anyone wishing to donate books can still do so by dropping them to the Dubbo Showground pavilion on Friday, May 25. Proceeds raised will go equally to the RFDS Dubbo Support Group and the Bill Walsh Cancer Research Centre at RNS Hospital in Sydney. The book fair will operate on Saturday, May 26, from 8am to 4pm, and on Sunday, May 27, from 9am to 1pm. ••• Pictured: Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie member Peter Bartley looks forward to welcoming the crowds expected at the Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair on the weekend of May 26 and 27.

EMERGENCY ISSUES A kitchen ﬁre can get out of control quickly – that’s one of the messages ﬁries will be sharing at their Open Day this Saturday, May 19. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

News analysis by JOHN RYAN

280 Station open day

IF you’re at a loose end on Saturday, May 19, head down to Dubbo 280 Fire Station on Wheelers Lane for the open day. From 10am until 2pm the doors are being thrown open to the public so you can see what goes on behind the doors of an operating station. There’ll be a hazmat display, as well as ongoing practical demonstrations showing how a kitchen fire can quickly get out of control. With the cold weather upon us, the sausages on the barbecue should also prove popular – funds from that will go towards the retained firefighters attending the organisation’s championships. NSW Fire and Rescue station officer John Poulos said children will be able to see the fire engines and firefighting equipment up close, always a highlight of this much-anticipated day. “They’ll also be able to take home a Brigade Kids activity booklet, which teaches them vital fire safety lessons,” Station Officer Poulos said. “This year we’re reminding people about the wide range of our capabilities from chemical spills, car accidents and natural disasters to education, prevention and humanitarian relief, across the state, across the country and even overseas - our firefighters are prepared for anything, anywhere, anytime.” Station Officer Poulos said Open Day is a great opportunity to talk to the experts about making homes fire-safe ahead of winter. “Why not come along to Dubbo Fire Station this Open Day and hear about all the things we do in the community,” he said. There’ll be other interesting

things happening but you won’t know unless you go. It’s at 102 Wheelers Lane, between the Macquarie Inn and Orana Mall.

Homemade road spikes ROAD spikes are being deployed at an unprecedented rate across a few streets in Dubbo – but these aren’t to stop the bad guys. It seems kids are using chewing gum to stick clips of spikes from carpenter-style nail guns and they’re getting results (pictured above). One single mum who’s already struggling to look after her kids told me she lost two tyres in one go in O’Donnell Street, costing her $300 in a single hit. Social media chatter showed she’s not the only one, with plenty of people claiming they’d had their own brushes with this new blight upon our local roads. If you see anyone deploying these things, try and take a snap on your phone and send it to the police.

Officers search visitors to Wellington Gaol WELLINGTON has copped such a bad rap in the media about its problems with ICE it’s often referred to as “the South Pole” and it was a pretty apt description after local police joined with officers from Corrective Services NSW at

The Dubbo Photo News page dedicated to the hard work of our emergency services personnel. the Wellington Gaol to target visitors who were attempting to take prohibited substances into the gaol. The operation saw specially trained police and corrective officers, aided by sniffer dogs, swoop on visitors to the gaol. According to Mid-Western Orana’s inspector Dan Skelly, a total of 104 vehicles and 194 visitors were searched which resulted in tobacco, methyl-amphetamine, drug deal bags, syringes, and a credit card knife being found. He said a number of persons will be facing charges of being in possession of a prohibited drug, supplying a prohibited drug, introduce a prohibited drug into a corrections facility, and possession of a prohibited weapon. “These collaborative operations, between police and corrections officers, will continue on a random basis and are designed to keep gaols free of prohibited drugs which often leads to violence within the gaol,” Inspector Skelly said. “Visitors to the gaol need to be on notice that if they intend to come to the gaol carrying prohibits drugs, other prohibited substances and weapons, they will be caught and charged accordingly. “It may then be the case they go from visitor to inmate,” he said.

Upper House drugs inquiry GREAT to see the NSW government’s upper house parliamentary committee in Dubbo looking to hear from locals about the problems this community is facing, as well as potential solutions, or measures which locals believe could alleviate some of the pain. This is a complex issue and it really does need far more effort and consistency put in, with government partnering with a broad range of organisations and individuals to create positive change. Hopefully something will come out of this.

Putting a big show on at the Show THE past few years have been relatively quiet at Dubbo’s annual show, but you can always rely on idiots spoiling that record. Dubbo Police were called to a brawl outside the Hopetoun Street gate to the showground around 9.30pm on Saturday where they say about 15 to 20 juveniles were involved in a fight, as well as us-

ing offensive language. It’s not a good look when large crowds of show-goers were coming and going and being exposed to the unacceptable behaviour the juveniles were displaying. Police say they broke up the group by directing a number of people to move from the area, but one individual returned to challenge another bloke to fight, screaming threats and using offensive language. Police then arrested the juvenile who then became aggressive and abusive, and he had to be restrained by two officers. Police claim several others in the crowd that formed then turned on the arresting police by approaching them and trying to interject, using offensive language. When other police arrived the situation was brought under control. Two female adults were arrested after they hindered the police efforts to restore calm by continuing to approach police and using offensive language towards them, getting charged with hinder police and use offensive language. The juvenile arrested will be processed under the Young Offender’s Act, according to Inspector Dan Skelly. “Despite all involved in this melee being given numerous warnings from police to desist in their behaviour, they continued with their offensive conduct, exposing many law-abiding citizens to their outrageous and disgraceful behaviour,” Insp Skelly said. “Many families with young children just wanting to enjoy the atmosphere of the show had to contend with a group of individuals who couldn’t care less about the anguish and upset caused by their behaviour,” he added. “People who think they can get away with using aggressive tactics and offensive language in public, think again. Police will show zero tolerance to these people – they will be arrested and held responsible,” he warned.

Guns gone DUBBO detectives are appealing for information from the public after a number of firearms were stolen from a Falconer Way residence last Friday night or early Saturday morning. It’s believed three guns were stolen, and obviously police don’t want them at large. Police are hoping forensic evidence from the crime scene will help them in their search for the perpetrators.

More die on local roads NOT a great few days on the local roads covered by our new expanded police district. Police from Mudgee were called to a motor vehicle crash on Blue Springs Road, Stubbo, about 9.45pm on Friday to find that a motor vehicle carrying two males had left Blue Springs Road, over-turned, and went down an embankment. The driver of the vehicle, a 22-year-old male from Mudgee, died at the scene while the 22-yearold passenger, also from Mudgee, was able to extricate himself from the vehicle prior to police arrival, suffering relatively minor injuries. Police are still investigating the cause of the accident and have spoken to a number of witnesses. The second fatal motor vehicle accident occurred on a section of the Warrumbungle Way, near Weetaliba, where a Nissan 4WD had left the road, collided with a tree, and overturned. The driver, believed to be a 74-year-old man from the area, and only occupant of the vehicle, received fatal injuries and died at the scene. “We appeal to drivers to take it easy on our country roads, take personal responsibility for their driving, don’t take risks, and drive to the speed limit and prevailing conditions,” Insp Skelly said. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

An American marries in to the British Royal Family: what’s new? A chance discovery of never publicly seen letters penned by the American Wallis Simpson – who almost became Queen of England – has sent British biographer Anne Sebba on a fouryear journey that has included the search for the truth, a book called “That Woman” and now a visit to Dubbo. Interview by Yvette Aubusson-Foley. Are there parallels between Meghan Markle and Wallis Simpson? Everybody is asking me, “Are they the same”? And there are lots of things I have to say: of course they’re not the same, that would be an insult to Meghan I think, but it is interesting because they are both divorced, and they’re outside the usual circle of suitable young women chosen for royal brides. I think the real thing they have in common is that they’re well-travelled individuals who have seen the world, who are not afraid to talk to men, and are at a serious level about interesting world issues. Wallis was very well schooled in diplomatic issues, she’d travelled in China, in a way that other women hadn’t seen the world. In 1936, that sort of woman was viewed not only as threatening but probably a bit dangerous, and worrying and to be avoided. Lots of men find that sort of woman threatening, and they certainly would have done in 1936. It was part of the aura of Wallis that made her unacceptable. Nowadays, I think people really embrace the fact that Meghan engages with world issues, she understands things, she’s travelled and she’s not afraid to speak out, and while I think that’s a similarity (with Mrs Simpson) the 80 years in between has seen a lot of

change. The other thing is, the Royal Family now recognises it’s important to have a women of experience. After the tragedy of Diana, they don’t want another fiasco like that, with a young girl who hasn’t seen the world. They’re happy to have an experienced young woman who’s prepared to settle down and do her job. The other serious point is that Harry is sixth in line to the throne and he’s not going to be king. With Wallis it was a question of marrying the king at a

time when the divorce of remarried people in the church wasn’t acceptable. Wallis was threatening to challenge all of these rules. What Meghan really offers is a chance for the royal family to show, “Look, we’re keeping up with the times, we’re modern, we’re very PC, we’re engaging with real issues.” I think it’s a fantastic publicity coup for the present-day royal family, whereas Wallis Simpson was a publicity nightmare. Because she was a divorcee? In 1936 Wallis had two husbands that were living and that was really rather frightening at a time when divorce really wasn’t considered normal, it was slightly shameful. To have these two husbands still alive, people thought maybe they’ll blackmail the royal family, there was a real fear. Prince Harry with Meghan Markle at Kensington Palace in London. Author Anne Sebba says Meghan Markle offers a chance for the royal family to show it’s keeping up with the times, generations after the controversy that surrounded Wallis Simpson. PHOTO: REUTERS/TOBY MELVILLE

Is there heroism in Wallis Simpson’s story? I think the heroism is that she removed an unacceptable monarch from the British throne. We got the better brother. I think she did us a favour. Noel Coward said there should be a statue to Wallis Simpson in every market town and I tend to agree. When did you ﬁnd Wallis’s letters? I found them while I was researching the book, and they absolutely transformed historical understanding of what the abdication was about. The royal family couldn’t give interviews in those days, so nobody knew. These were just private letters between Wallis and her second husband, Ernest, which in themselves proved the divorce was illegal, it was collusive; a divorce by agreement which wasn’t allowed then. The mere fact of writing to Ernest in this loving way proved they were breaking the law of the land, but it was extraordinary because it showed that Wallis really recognised too late that she’d made a mistake. She’d abandoned the man who didn’t give her enough money, she’d been greedy, so she reached for the stars and got burnt. She did not want to saddle herself with

the king, who she saw as a very needy, troubled adolescent. She referred to him as ‘Peter Pan’, the boy who wouldn’t grow up. She didn’t really expect to have to marry him. At this point, she did have to marry him, but she always behaved as if she was the one who’d been trapped. She felt, she’d paid a very heavy price for marrying a great big overgrown man-child. So the letters were extraordinary. How did you come to ﬁnd the letters? My first clue was discovering the son of Ernest Simpson. He gave me a whole load of addresses, and I followed them up and the last one really didn’t know that she had this trove in her attic. At first she didn’t want to meet with me, and eventually she agreed to meet me in a neutral hotel. I thought this was going to be a 20-minute interview and I’d be home for supper. She brought out the letters in their blue envelopes. These were pristine letters that really were intended just for the eyes of one person. I knew it was dynamite when I opened them. I do remember calling my husband to say, “Have dinner on your own, I’m probably not coming home for a while,” because all I had was a notebook to copy them down. I don’t think I had a smart phone in those days. So I just sat down on the sofa and made copies and hoped she’d let me see them again, and indeed she did.

ISSUE | COMMENT

Rising from the ashes of heartbreak and tragedy to discuss suicide Please note: Some readers may find the articles on this page confronting. Comment by JOHN RYAN

SUICIDE had been a taboo subject in Australia for decades. For years I begged my editors and chiefs of staff to start reporting on suicides around Dubbo and the central west. I never found bosses brave enough to trust that we need to get the message out there, rather than squirrel it away and pretend it wasn’t a problem of epidemic proportions. I interviewed people who’d had their kids taken from them by government departments and wanted to end their lives, I spoke to emergency services personnel who’d seen one tragedy too many, I had people with all sorts of problems knocking on my door looking for help, yet I wasn’t allowed to spread the message of their hurt to the world. We once filmed a bloke who fell off the railway bridge onto a firetruck and that vision eventually became one of the most viewed things on the internet across the world that year. But it almost didn’t go to air because my bosses thought it looked too much like a suicide attempt, even though that incident was not. The network only agreed to screen it because the firies said the fact the bloke fell onto their pumper may have saved his life. Now, finally, we’re having the discussion that we as journalists should have been brave enough to report on 50 years ago. We’ve come so far so quickly. In the past couple of months alone we’ve had multiple events targeting specific groups like tradies, and that’s beyond amazing. I’ve spent untold hours writing about this issue and helped people organise and promote events to raise the awareness of this national tragedy, yet last weekend I read something that stopped me in my tracks. A message of hurt and love from a woman living on the other side of the world that brought home to me like nothing else how this story has to be told for the message to really cut

through. I showed it to Joe Williams, the former NRL halfback and world boxing champion who’s written a book about his struggles with addiction, depression, bi-polar and suicidal thoughts – he’s taking it day by day, presenting his story across the world to communities trying to come to grips with their own losses through suicide. “This hit me hard, I’m in tears,” Joe said. “Because it is so very close to my story.” Joe has already contacted Nik and now she’s sharing his story. “We need people like Joe – we need real humans sharing their stories, we need real people not just raising money but getting out there in the world and working hands-on, talking to people who are struggling,” Nik said as an introduction to posting Joe’s video clip on her own blog. Nik Tebbe lives in Red Wing, Minnesota, USA. She started filling notebooks with writings at the age of 12 and the writer was born inside her when her husband died. She’s been described as a woman who has risen from the ashes of heartbreak and tragedy with grace, love, empathy, deep compassion and authenticity. In 2015, her husband of nine years died by suicide leaving her a widow with two young children. Nik has been writing about her journey through grief since November 2015. She is a writer and spiritual mentor. So here’s her article, it’s the most powerful thing I’ve ever read, and in this edition of Dubbo Photo News celebrating marriage, let’s also celebrate the power of the human spirit in people like Nik who’s lost so much, including her marriage in such a tragic way. 24/7 crisis support is available: z Lifeline 13 11 14 www.lifeline.org.au z Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467 www.suicidecallbackservice.org.au z Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 www.kidshelpline.com.au z MensLine Australia 1300 78 99 78 www. mensline.org.au “This hit me hard, I’m in tears – because it is so very close to my story,” Joe Williams (pictured) said after reading Nik Tebbe’s plea to anyone considering self-harm.

ed, loving, adventurous, compassionate, and the bravest girl I have ever met in my entire life. So, you. The guy who is thinking of taking his life. The guy who is sitting at the dinner table right now with his kids and wife eating tacos and you’re smiling and you’re laughing but in your mind you are planning your own death for the next day? I’m asking you to stay. I’m asking you to tell your wife your plans. I’m asking you to close your eyes and remember being a little kid. Remember how much you loved and needed both of your parents. Fight for your life. You belong here on Earth. You are worthy and so, so loved. Your family needs you. You belong here on a Tuesday night eating tacos with your kids and your wife laughing at inside jokes only a family understands. You deserve to watch your children grow up. You deserve their hugs and kisses and giggles. They need you. Maybe pleading with you to stay on this earth won’t work. Maybe it’s not enough, maybe you’ll still go. I don’t know if spreading this love and pleading will work because I never got that chance to do that with my husband. But maybe it will help you. Maybe it will help just one of you and that’s why my children and I share our story. So, you. Please stay. Yes, they will survive and move forward in their lives if you leave but they won’t be better off without you. They will forever be missing a piece of themselves, a piece of their heart. Love and strength, Nik Tebbe www.niktebbe.com

Geurie Campdraft

THE wild west will hit Geurie this weekend with the town’s annual Golden Bit Campdraft being held over three days at the racecourse. The draft will commence tomorrow morning (Friday, May 18) at 9 with the start of the Ray White Rural Maiden. The show kicks off again at daylight on Saturday with the Ron Weber Memorial Open, Skin Logic au and Silver Brands Ladies, Betts Transport Junior draft and Christie and Hood Juvenile draft. Under lights Saturday night will the best of best ARK Heavy Maintenance Open for Open draft. It’ll be a daylight start again Sunday with the commencement of the Condamine ASH Novice draft with a total of 280 runs. Geurie Campdraft is a great community organisation and the town does so much to run so many great events at the racecourse each year, and that’s only made possible by the hard-working committee and the individuals and businesses who provide sponsorship.

Optus disgrace I’D been trying to call a local business this week which had moved but kept getting weird signals when I dialled, so I took some of my very scarce time and went looking for the new premises. I found out that this business has had no luck getting Optus to connect the landline, and being the only number this was making things very difficult. I jumped on the phone to get a comment from Optus head office public relations about this debacle and guess what? I can’t even get in touch with them, even when I told the complaints line to please pass on my details.

I’m getting sick and tired of how these major corporations treat their clients, and at the same time make the consumers waste their time going through all the endless ringing up and waiting on hold for hours at a time. Optus, give me a call, I’m going to bag you out every week in this column until you do.

Lost in space anyone? THE last time I saw talk about setting up a space agency in Australia, the government was in so much trouble it was desperate for a diversion – that was on the ABC show “Utopia”, a satirical look at the federal bureaucracy and the political craziness that tries to manage bureaucratic inertia and dysfunction. At the NSW Premier’s drought tour this week there were plenty of questions about the federal push for a space agency, and this shows just how much trouble Malcolm Turnbull is in, he’s spruiking ISIS, terrorism and now a space agency to deflect the voters from his other problems. Anyway, Premier Gladys Berejiklian wouldn’t rule out Dubbo having some part to play in any NSW bid for the Space Agency but, then, I’m not holding my breath. And there’s not much air in outer space anyway.

Fairness also lost in space HOW about these energy corporates apparently gouging consumers extras and using that cash windfall to pay their tax. If we can convict executives of these sorts of white collar crimes, they need to spend a good few years in jail. It’s obscene for this sort of behaviour to be happening when we have plenty of locals who can’t pay for heating in winter or cooling in summer.

Bre bus a big hit GREAT to see a trial with two extra NSW TrainLink coach services each week which means people can go from Dubbo to Bourke or Brewarrina and back in a single day. A new return service will leave Dubbo at 4.45pm on Wednesdays,

arriving in Bourke at 9.05pm with a stop at Coolabah. Another new service on Thursdays will depart Bourke at 5.45am or Brewarrina at 5.30am to connect with the Bourke service at Coolabah and arrive in Dubbo at 10.05am. Member for Dubbo Troy Grant is chuffed with the new service. “Customers travel to Dubbo for a variety of reasons – be it for business or medical appointments, shopping or recreational activities, or to visit friends and family,” Mr Grant said. “Prior to these changes, it was not possible to make this round trip in a day meaning customers needed to organise overnight accommodation. “However, they will soon have a safe and efficient means to spend around four hours in Dubbo and return home on the same day, helping to save time and money,” he said. Dubbo is the western hub and for many people way out west this service is just as important to them as it is for Dubbo residents to be able to fly to Sydney and back in a single day.

Former Prime journos reunite IT was a reunion for Dubbo -based Prime News cameraman Rusty Kinsey with two of his former journos during the NSW Premier’s drought tour earlier this week. Evie Madden was helping to run the roadshow as press secretary to Agriculture Minister Niall Blair, and Catalina Florez was back in Dubbo to cover the event for Channel 10 News. Catalina’s current cameraman may need a few bushcraft lessons from Rusty – in his bid to try and get the best vision possible he walked onto the crusty top of a dry farm dam and went in up to his hips. It was a bit of light relief in what was an otherwise pretty depressing drought tour.

be coordinating droughts, but rather she’ll be coordinating the whole of government response to them and how to interface with farmers, farmer organisations and other interested parties to ensure the taxpayer dollars and intent are speared in the correct directions. She’s not the only local lady to assume an ag leadership position this week. Lucinda Hawkins has joined nine other people from across Australia on the new AgriFutures Ignite Advisory Panel. Agricfutures Australia is the new name for the old Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), although why we need all the confusion and cost of rebadging, reorganising and repurposing all the organisations every five minutes is beyond me. Ms Hawkins is the Head of Agribusiness for the Bank of Queensland and hails from a beef cattle farm. Her deep understanding of the challenges agricultural producers face, as well as her involvement in rural communities, stood out to the selection panel. “I understand the importance of strong networks and the ability to leverage those relationships for the betterment of industry and communities,” Ms Hawkins said. “I am looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a love of agriculture

and I’m excited to contribute to the Ignite Advisory Panel.”

A model display CARS and Coffee has shown how important car events can be for the local economy and last weekend we saw the Torana Dubvegas Cruz as well as the Honda Goldwings in town. Gulgong’s a lot smaller than Dubbo but that didn’t stop the Model A Ford owners from across Australia celebrating the marque’s 90th birthday on Saturday and Sunday in that town. Sure, it’s great to have massive signature festivals and events, but if we could establish Dubbo as a hub for car clubs and motoring enthusiasts of all types we could see an influx of cashed-up visitors on so many weekends. So many people in the car scene have no dramas getting in their cars and driving for hours to catch up with their mates. The social aspect of these sorts of gatherings are also immense, because people want to associate with like-minded persons. Thanks Hiram Marr for sending some pictures through of the Model As. Hiram worked overtime to get his project across to the show.

Dubbo College “Man of Steel” TOMORROW morning you can check out Superman at the Church Street Rotunda. This superhero probably isn’t really made of steel, so I don’t want to be accused, again, of writing fake news, but the event’s all part of the Dubbo College promotion for its “Man of Steel” musical. The Man of Steel himself will make an appearance with his Fan Club and students from the College will perform a piece from the musical, which is set for opening night in late June. This will be the school’s first ever musical to be staged at the Dubbo Regional Theatre. Look out for all the superhero activity between 11.30am and 12.30pm. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best z Additional reporting by Dubbo Photo News staff.

VERY SOCIAL

Big talk By DARCEE NIXON THE Western Plains Cultural Centreâ€™s Outlook CafĂŠ was filled with witty speakers and big thinkers on Friday night, May 11, as the Dubbo Weekender Big Talk got under way.

OPINION & ANALYSIS THE TOONS’ VIEWS

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

An open letter to parents: NAPLAN 2018 Every child needs numeracy and literacy skills to get a well-rounded education. Literacy and numeracy are the universal building blocks that provide the foundation skills children will need as they progress through school and beyond. NAPLAN is an important tool for you and your child’s teachers to see how your child, compared with the rest of Australia’s children, is going in meeting important literacy and numeracy standards. NAPLAN doesn’t test everything that happens in classrooms and it isn’t intended to. It does look at the critically important skills of literacy and numeracy – the skills our children will need for any career path they eventually choose to take. After your child has taken NAPLAN, you will receive information on how he or she is progressing in literacy and numeracy, and how this compares with other students at your child’s school and across Australia. NAPLAN doesn’t replace regular inclass assessments, but it is the only national assessment Australian children undertake. It allows for achievement to be celebrated, and – equally importantly – helps identify areas where more support may be needed to help individual students reach their full potential. No extra preparation is required for NAPLAN. What children learn in the classroom through the teaching of the Australian Curriculum is what NAPLAN assesses. As with any test in life, some students may feel anxious about NAPLAN. In these cases, it’s up to the adults in students’ lives to help explain what NAPLAN is all about and keep it in perspective. Remind your child that it’s not a big deal, that it’s a short assessment taken only four times during their schooling. As one principal commented: “It’s a very useful diagnostic instrument, it’s something people shouldn’t really worry about and they should just treat the day as any other day.”

As NAPLAN begins to move online this year, some students will take the assessment in an online format. The move online brings benefits in the form of more precise and detailed results for teachers, and a more engaging test for students. Regardless of whether your child takes NAPLAN online or on paper, the results will be comparable with those of other students and from previous years. In August you will receive your child’s NAPLAN results. If you have any concerns about your child’s NAPLAN results, discuss them with their teacher. For more information about NAPLAN, including fact sheets, FAQs and examples of NAPLAN questions, visit www. nap.edu.au Robert Randall, Chief Executive, Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority •••

More guarantees needed for Aussies touched by stroke Dear Editor, Currently, there is no guarantee all Australians will have access to the best practice stroke care that we know saves lives and reduces disability. In fact, we know many will not. Regional Australians are among those most impacted. Research shows regional Australians were 19 per cent more likely to have a stroke than their metropolitan counterparts. Regional Australians are also more likely to die from a stroke or be left with an ongoing disability simply because they do not have access to specialist stroke treatment and care. The Federal Government’s 2018 Budget acknowledges current inequalities within the health system, by increasing focus on improving health services for rural and regional Australians. This is an important first step, but I would implore the Government to take them further. Sharon McGowan Chief Executive Officer, Stroke Foundation

We need a warning please: ‘The following news program isn’t suitable for human consumption’ Yvette Aubussonson nFoley ❚ OPINION

THE great thing about Dubbo Photo News is you can pick it up knowing your kids or grandma can read it without feeling too racked with survivor guilt, helpless, depressed or lost, just because of a picture they’ve seen or story they’ve read. If we do tackle the harder issues they’ll generally be in our Dubbo Weekender section, and for sensitive issues, we follow the guidelines of Mindframe, a national media initiative used for reporting or portraying confronting topics such as suicide, social and emotion wellness or mental illness, eating disorders or sexual abuse. When this will catch on to national television or radio news remains to be seen. Hat’s off to Mindframe because truth needs to be told, but it can

be done responsibly. Funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Health under the National Suicide Prevention Program, the Mindframe Education and Training program is an initiative of Everymind. Everymind is based in Newcastle and is the nation’s leading institute dedicated to reducing mental ill-health, suicide and improving wellbeing. It’s a healthy trend, although the warning to call Lifeline if content was disturbing which appears after episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” are a little too late and better suited to a preshow warning. The controversial Netflix series “13 Reasons Why”, now up to Season Two, is taking responsibility for its content by running preshow warnings using cast from the show to explain the importance of publicly talking about serious issues, such as teen suicide, but also the importance of talking to someone trusted in your inner circle about issues in your life. There’s good argument for not screening a television show on this

particular subject for the damage it may potentially cause, and good argument for taking any elephant in the room, shining a spotlight on it, and asking – or demanding – what are we doing about preventing this? Every support service encourages discussion, promotes phone numbers to call and, as difficult at these conversations can be, they have to happen. So, while there is a shift within media to tread carefully, I wonder when will television and radio news broadcasts also take responsibility for their content with similar warnings.

` Dumping these (tragic) facts on kids in the car on the way to soccer on a Saturday morning in Dubbo – without some sort of content warning – is just plain negligent... a

Triple J radio gives warnings about explicit content in songs because someone somewhere has deemed it may offend some people, and it gives them the choice of listening or not. Why not TV or radio news which “deals” in shocking, tragic or upsetting content? It is a tragedy that six school children died in a bus which left the road and went down a ravine in Chile, or that rescue crews struggled for days to reach a single engine aircraft which crashed into the jungle in Brazil killing the pilot, but knowing these facts can never help those people involved and nor does gossiping about them. Sure it might remind us that driving on mountain roads in a South American country can be hazardous, or that some planes crash, but the flip side to the latter is most planes don’t, which is why the average one million people in the air above the planet, at any given time on any given day of the year, arrive safely at their destination.

Starting a news report about 20 people killed in a bomb attack, or a mother who’s killed her own children, are significant in a world or mental health context begging further discussion of broader issues, but dumping these facts on kids in the car on the way to soccer on a Saturday morning in Dubbo – without some sort of content warning or acknowledgement in the public sphere – is just plain negligent. Tipping in an endless diet of bad news about people and situations almost no-one on the planet can effect, least of all children, can’t be balanced out by stories of dogs on surfboards or cats that can knit booties. A ‘graphic content’ heads-up warning that assumes kids are in earshot or viewing, and adherence to content rating standards imposed on other audio-visual productions, would be a great start. z If you need help, please talk to Lifeline 13 11 14 z For information about Everymind, visit www.everymind.org.au

COUNCIL WATCH

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

Clear strategy for Wellington needed, councillor says By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WELLINGTON resident and Dubbo Regional Council Councillor David Grant has advised amalgamation money which has flowed into Wellington does have an end date and the town and Council must be strategic about how the town will continue to grow once the phase of funding ends. “People get blinded by lot of money, and the state government’s got quite a lot of money in the coffers at the minute, and will have with the Snowy Hydro, but we have to make sure we’re putting ourselves forward and make sure that money keeps coming through,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “The Wellington Pool has been upgraded out of that money – we’re getting a whole new pool. There’s works happening out at the caves. “It’s probably going to be two years before all that money comes to an end, so we really need to make sure we’re getting the next lot of funding to make sure we can continue doing projects or upgrades, and doing works at Cameron Park to encourage people to stop there,” he said. Community fears raised during the amalgamation process and that Wellington would fall into Dubbo’s shadow have not been realised, he said. “Wellington Council had many of these projects in the pipeline,

Council director Melissa Watkins resigns DRC Director of Planning and Environment Melissa Watkins has accepted a position as Director Development and Environment with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council. Ms Watkins’ resignation from Council will be effective from June 8, 2018. Ms Watkins was appointed Director of Planning and Environment for the newly amalgamated Dubbo Regional Council commencing in July 2017 following the organisational restructure, and had held previous positions as Director Environmental Services for Dubbo Regional Council and the former Dubbo City Council. She provided some 16 years of service. Mr Stephen Wallace, currently Manager Building and Development Services, will be appointed Acting Director of Planning and Environment effective June 11, pending a future recruitment process for a permanent Director.

Push continues for rehabilitation centre DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL has urged an Upper House Parliamentary Committee to make strong recommendations supporting the provision of a residential rehabilitation centre, detoxification facility and a drug court in Dubbo. Councillor Stephen Lawrence provided evidence to the NSW Upper House inquiry on the provision

but the ability to just get them done now is a possibility because of the amount of people that are on the ground, and the amount of expertise that we have in the whole Dubbo Regional Council; we’ve been able to get projects moving and done, which is pretty exciting. “There is a positive vibe in the town. People are seeing things happening and changing. They’re seeing things are getting done, and in a timely manner as well, and they’re liking that aspect of it. “No, we haven’t just been pushed to the side,” Cr Grant said. “Wellington residents feel they’re being listened to. They are saying that their ideas are being heard, and they’re being consulted and included, so it’s good to hear that. “It’s always been a Wellington versus Dubbo, or Dubbo versus Wellington thing, for years and years, but now we’re one, I suppose the mentality was still there, but it is changing,” Mr Grant said. “There’s people that live in Wellington and work in Dubbo and visa versa, including at the council, and I think that certainly is helping people understand the needs of Wellington and not being a burden on Dubbo at the same time.” Cr Grant believes the Wellington business community is also feeling positive about the promotion of opportunities in the area. “Business people are certainly

COUNCIL NEWS... IN BRIEF of drug rehabilitation services in regional, rural and remote NSW at a public hearing in Dubbo on Wednesday, May 9, on behalf of Dubbo Regional Council. Cr Lawrence stressed that the provision of drug rehabilitation centres is a real concern for the Dubbo region which faces an increasing prevalence of drug, alcohol and mental health problems. “Dubbo has unacceptably high crime rates, at two to three times the state average. One of the things Council has recognised is the link between the operation of the criminal justice system and the entrenchment of social disadvantage,” Cr Lawrence said. “Drug use is leading young people into trouble with the law, trouble with the law is entrenching their problems and their drug use. It is a vicious cycle causing inter-generational issues,” he said. “Council’s Social Justice and Crime Prevention Working Party is considering operational models and innovative ways of enabling a residential drug rehabilitation centre to be established in the Dubbo LGA. Without accessible residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, the benefits of a Drug Court can never be realised for the

seeing something from the promotion and being able to work with the whole region. I certainly feel it’s got busier. “Even the road between Dubbo and Wellington seems a lot busier than ever. I travel that quite regularly because I work in both Dubbo and Wellington too. “Just talking to people, they’re happy with the way it’s going. They’re seeing people stopping in Wellington a lot more regularly and spending money there.” Another priority is access to the town centre from Pioneer Park via the footbridge which has been closed for an extended period, which would also have benefits for local business. “We need to get this bridge open,” he urged, pointing out that fixing this link between Pioneer Park, which regularly hosts various sporting events, and the main street would cut the current walk from nearly a kilometre back to only 200 metres. “We’re currently having to go around the long way. “It also means people with caravans and campers can park across from the main shopping area. Council has a plan to get rid of that bridge and put a proper bridge across there, so people can access it with prams, or for people with disability, so they can get across it properly. “As it is now, you have to go down a big dip in the footbridge and climb up stairs, whereas (it would be much better) if we take

the bridge off that top level of the bank, and go straight across.” Cr Grant believes the cost of the footbridge work would be in the vicinity of $700,000. “Even to repair the bridge that’s

Dubbo LGA and Western NSW,” he said. Councillor Lawrence said the push for a rehabilitation centre in Dubbo has been underway for many years and has been led by members of the community, many of whom attended and spoke at the hearing on Wednesday. “There are reasons to be optimistic around these issues with one of Council’s goals being to facilitate the establishment of a residential rehabilitation centre in Dubbo by December 2019,” Cr Lawrence said. The Committee is expected to deliver its report and recommendations later in the year. The Government will then be given an opportunity to respond to the findings of the Committee.

Village residents can comment on plan A 2040 Community Strategy Plan consultation team hits the regional roads today (Thursday, May 17) to visit villages in the Dubbo Regional Council local government area. Stuart Town, Wongarbon, Ballimore, Eumungerie and Geurie are included in the visits that will give residents a face-to-face opportunity to consult with council directly on issues affecting them and changes they hope to see in their local communities. The community will also have a chance to talk to the 2040 Team at a number of pop-up feedback sessions throughout the 28-day Public Exhibition period at local shopping malls and markets.

there, they’re talking nearly that sort of money anyway. It needs new wiring, and structurally it’s been bashed up a few times with floods. “It’s not safe.”

QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL Reader question: Why is the waste collection contract for JR Richards valued at $36 million?

Recycling: U3A class studies “Waste to Art” Contributed by SANDRA O’BRIEN, PUBLICITY OFFICER FOR U3A A topic of interest and debate across the community was given a timely plug by the U3A (University of the Third Age) course “Looking at Art” recently. The “Waste to Art” exhibition at the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC) was the venue for the April class. A tour of the exhibition, led by Sally Fossman, inspired interest and amazement. Since the beginning of the Waste to Art competition in 2010, the quality of entries each year has gone from strength to strength, with the current exhibits showing wonderful talent and imagination. Regional councils in NSW introduced Waste to Art as a means of educating people about the value of reusing resources. The theme for this year was Polystyrene. The exhibition remains open at the WPCC until June 10. Visitors will note the large Galah welcoming them at the entrance (pictured). The winning entry by Alan Stanger is a plant made from recycled paper cups from the drive thru coffee service. Perhaps Council could challenge untapped local talent to be creative and solve more of our recycling nightmares!

EACH year, Bakers Delight and Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) come together for the Pink Bun Campaign. The ‘Pink Bun’ fundraising campaign sees all Bakers Delight bakeries donate 100 per cent of the sale of their Pink Finger Buns and Pink Tote Bags to BCNA. BCNA is the peak national organisation for Australians personally affected by breast cancer. The BCNA’s role is to empower, inform, represent and link together people whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. BCNA is symbolised by the Pink Lady silhouette. They provide a range of free services which include the My Journey Kit, a resource for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer; and Hope & Hurdles, a resource for women with secondary or metastic breast cancer. Local survivor Donna Falconer said she would have been lost without the My Journey Kit when she went through treatment in 2009. Donna Falconer is also the local BCNA Commmunity Liasion and is encouraging everyone to head along to the local Bakers Delight and pick up some pink buns. The campaign runs through until May 23.

Dubbo Photo News’ right royal Q&A at Orana Mall By DARCEE NIXON, FRANCES ROWLEY AND DONNA FALCONER

DUBBO Photo News hit the shops at Orana Mall on Friday, May 11, to interview shoppers about their thoughts on the upcoming Royal Wedding. Frances and Donna asked the questions while Darcee was behind the lens to capture the scene. Many Orana Mall shoppers couldn’t wait for the big day, but some were unaware and were left scratching their heads.

Frances with Chloe Gaffney. Chloe will “deﬁnitely be watching the wedding and recording it”! She said that she loves Meghan’s smile and likes Harry’s eyes and hair.

Donna with Don Nicholson and Margaret Nicholson. When asked if they would be watching the Royal Wedding and if they know who Harry and Meghan are, this lively couple replied, “Who are the Royals and do they live in Norway?”

Frances with Rhonda Lutt. “I love Harry and I think Meghan is gorgeous,” said Rhonda

Bishnu Gurangi, Donna Falconer and Puinam Gurung. Both ladies said that they “love the Royal Family”.

Frances with Jai Perkins. When asked if he would be watching the wedding, Jai wondered what wedding we were talking about and then wanted to know if Meghan was an Aussie. He did know who Harry was, but said that he “most likely won’t be watching the wedding, I’ll be driving my truck”.

Donna with Max Bourke and Erica Bourke. When asked if they would be watching the Royal Wedding, Max and Erica said they weren’t sure. Max knew who Harry was and said he has hair “just like mine (pointing to his hair), only he is older than me”. Erica said that Meghan is “beautiful”.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED AS BUDGET DELIVERS NEW CSU MEDICAL SCHOOL! We’ve done it!

The fight for a new country medical school has been won and I couldn’t be happier! Sometimes in politics you get the chance to be involved in something that can make a true and lasting difference to local communities and this is one of those moments. This new medical school will change the practice of medicine in our country areas for generations. It will train doctors in the bush for practice in the bush. After a decade of campaigning, countless setbacks, fierce resistance from the medical establishment (and quite a few MPs), it has been confirmed that Australia’s newest medical school is to be established by Charles Sturt University right here in the Central West. Andrew with Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack and Minister for Rural Health, Bridget McKenzie at Charles Sturt University.

It has been announced with an initial

MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WELLINGTON SHOW

allocation of 30 student places but I anticipate that this figure will rise to 37 in 2020 with the new school accepting its first students in 2021. Student numbers will continue to rise after that. It's a great start. In terms of practical training, the doctors will be placed around the region. My priority was to get the school launched in the Calare electorate to help our communities overcome doctor shortages, and it’s mission accomplished! This has been a true community effort and I’d like to thank all those people and community groups who have worked so hard to make this new medical school a reality. Country people deserve equal access to medical care. The time for a new country medical school is here!

HERMITAGE HILL

I was recently in Wellington for the launch of the evaluation and documentary for Beyond Barbed Wire, a program run by Barnardos. The launch was held at Hermitage hill and it was wonderful to meet owners Wayne and Julie Shepherd. They have only been there for twelve months and are doing a terrific job!

INSTANT ASSET WRITE OFF EXTENDED FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES The $20,000 instant asset write-off is continuing for another year until 30 June 2019. It means local businesses can update their assets up to a value of $20,000 and write it off against their tax instantly (as opposed to writing it off over a number of years). It’s not limited to one asset either. This is great news and I would encourage all of our hard working small business people in Lithgow to take advantage.

Andrew with new owners Wayne and Julie Shepherd.

$10,000 BUDGET INCENTIVE TO HIRE OLDER AUSTRALIANS Wage subsidies of up to $10,000 are available for employers who hire mature age workers. This is part of the expanded access to the Restart wage subsidy delivered in the Federal Budget. Mature age workers have the experience and skills that make a huge contribution to our economy so I’m really pleased that the Australian Government is helping to create more employment opportunities for them.

BUDGET DELIVERS TAX RELIEF!

Low and middle income earners are the big winners in this year’s Budget with a big new tax relief package. Taxpayers will get cash back from the government when they lodge their tax returns. For example, someone earning $50,000 a year will get a cash rebate of $530. And beyond the cash-back, the budget has delivered still more tax savings as the years progress. Any tax policy that sees the government giving back taxpayers some of their hard-earned is a good thing! I think that this was an optimistic budget which shows the economy is kicking into a higher growth phase.

The future of space PAPARAZZI would have argued “it’s not every day a Nobel Prize winner comes to Dubbo”, but it turns out it happens more often than you think. The Australian National University (ANU) staged a special event at the Dubbo Regional Theatre last week called “The Universe and the Future of Space”. The event was hosted by Nobel Prize-winning Vice Chancellor, Professor Brian Schmidt (pictured on stage, right), and fellow space guru Dr Brad Tucker (left). They told their captivated Dubbo audience about the incredible technological progress being made already in the 21st century. For example, ANU is currently leading a project that will help clear a lot of the space junk that is floating around our planet using lasers. During the evening, Professor Schmidt admitted that he is actually a regular visitor to Dubbo – this city is a rest break during regular trips between their Canberra home and the Siding Spring Observatory near Coonabarabran.

That’s one mean looking guitar! This Redback was spotted at the Old Bank Music Shop. Very cool!

DPN reader Karen snapped this photo of a cockatoo taking a rest break on her TV antenna.

Royal Wedding fever: the lighter side of weddings THE DPN team has compiled four pages of reader wedding photos for today’s paper, but unfortunately we didn’t have room for all of the photos we were sent. We’ve decided to include these two here in Paparazzi because they are, well, a bit of extra fun! Pictured above are Naomi

and Mason Hooper at their ‘Second Wedding’ which happened while on their honeymoon in March this year at the Little Neon Chapel in Las Vegas. The second photo (right) shows Nathan & Jessica Thurston last month in a fun photo by Rainy King.

A lap of the showground on two wheels! DUBBO Photo News photographer Darcee Nixon had a big weekend covering the Dubbo Show – see our double page of photos inside today’s paper. Even though the quality of this photo is a bit marginal, we wanted to run it because it shows Darcee

with the Team D-MAX precision driving team after her ride in one of their vehicles at the show. Darcee was in the vehicle that drove on two side wheels for an entire lap of the Dubbo Showground Paceway. Top Gear!

5 STARS FOR ADVENTURE!

We have a wide range of tours, that suit every taste! “Absolutely brilliant way to see the sights of Dubbo, Peter has heaps of information ^Y VV cY_ SX YX ._LLY”. KARYN & PETER GLOVER, 5 STAR FACEBOOK REVIEW

MEET THE BOSS Leanne Shields, Hot Poppyz Florist Position: Royal Florist by appointment of Her Majesty the Queen, because I am the Dubbo Dame I am inspired by... tradition and the Queen I spend my down time... dancing What do you think Meghan will be like to work with? Well, I was in London in January and we had a few meetings. She is very particular. She wants the wedding to be modern, with a twist on Royal tradition, but she also wants to keep the Royal Family happy to get on their good side. As an Australian florist, would you advise Australian natives for the Royals? All Royal brides must have a sprig of myrtle, a tradition from the time of Cornwall. I would also advise wattle and gum mixed with white and cream roses and Geraldton wax. What arrangement of flowers would you put in Meghan’s bouquet? Her dress will be straight and she will have a train, so she can have a round ball shaped bouquet, but not too big. In her bouquet she should have a sprig of myrtle, wattle, gum, white and cream roses and Geraldton wax. What type of bouquet would you make for the flower girls? Charlotte is only small, so I would make her a basket of petals and a flower crown. What flowers would you advise for the Queen to wear? None, it is the bride’s day. The Queen will wear a big brooch. My bet for her dress is floral print, paired with a full colour coat. Are you doing the flowers for the reception? As we know, Harry likes a party. The flowers for the reception will be bright and happy colours, including roses, gum, orchids, pussy willow, berries, ivy ferns and lilies. What flowers will you be wearing to the wedding? I leave town the Monday after Mother’s Day to be there on time. You will have to wait to see what I am wearing, hopefully you will see me on television and I’ll give you a wave! Maybe I’ll wear an orchid corsage and some bling. On my bedside table at the Savoy Hotel is... stress pills, wine and a picture of Harry And if I wasn’t in my current role I’d... be back in Dubbo PHOTO: WENDY MERRICK

Love Is In The Air

WHEN Dubbo Photo News put the call out to couples to share their wedding photos and feel the love of the royal wedding this weekend, the response was off the charts. It left no doubt in our mind, that love is always in the air and thanks to everyone for sharing their special moments. We did our best to make room for everyone, but there was just too

many, so we’ll be posting those not here in print on our Facebook page in a special album of love. Clearly you all know what Harry and Meghan are going through this weekend. We should also point out what an inspiration Harry’s grandparents are – the Queen and Prince Philip will celebrate 71 years of marriage in November this year.

It’s Show time! By DARCEE NIXON THE Dubbo Showground and Paceway became a hive of activity over Friday, May 11, Saturday, May 12, and Sunday, May 13, as people from all over the Dubbo region and beyond came to celebrate our region’s agriculture and take a trip up side-show alley. There was everything on exhibit, from birds, cattle, harness racing, horse showing, show jumping, pigs, prime lambs and sheep, to cooking, papercraft, photography, sewing, painting and other crafts, woodchopping, yard dog trials, speed shearing, the Young Farmer’s Challenge, Showgirl Competition, precision driving display from Team D-MAX and the Saturday night fireworks. And if you had time to see everything from that mouthful, there were also numerous rides of varying intensity, games, plenty of food and drink that were sure to put the diet on hold, and the famous array of show bags. Another great show for Dubbo!

The audience enjoyed getting dolled up and were impressed with the latest Black Pepper autumn season styles displayed by the models, as they walked the ‘catwalk’ with music and an emcee. At the conclusion of the show, lucky door prize winners were announced and then everyone settled down for a delightful morning tea.

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.

CRICKET

“Wrigs” and “Dunners” – Newtown legends call it quits Photos by JACKIE PRATTEN

TWO cricketers who embody the spirit of Newtown Cricket announced their retirements at an emotional Presentation Dinner. STATISTICALLY Brett Wrigley and Wayne Dunlop have records that will take some extraordinary performances to eclipse but it was their clubmanship and commitment that had everyone standing to applaud as they bid farewell. “WRIGS” leaves after a lifetime of service to “The Town”. His 404 games have netted: • 5953 runs at an average of 28.57 and a highest score of 142 (with 8 centuries) • 484 wickets with a best of 6/14 Overall he has played the most games for the club, taken the most catches (other than by a wicket-keeper and has the second highest tally of wickets.

In Pinnington Cup (second grade) he has played the most games, scored the most runs and taken the most wickets and it is a similar story in Kelly Cup (third grade). Above all, Brett has been the perfect club man. “An inspiration to all” is how Life Member Greg O’Sullivan described the selfless all-rounder. Wayne Dunlop played 10 seasons at Newtown after starting his Dubbo career with Rugby. His record of nine centuries is the most by any batsman, beating the original black and gold maestro, Bob Stroud. He had a highest score of 157 in a total of 4084 runs at an average of 37.18. While Wrigs will still be in and around the club, Wayne is anticipating a move back to his home in the Hunter Valley. Both will be missed but they leave a huge legacy.

2018 TIPPING CHALLENGE THE CHALLENGE IS ON!

SHARKS VS BULLDOGS

Rabbitohs too fast for ﬂagging Dragons!

HELEN H LEN

By GEOFF MANN Well if we are going to be beaten, then why not by the oldest club and traditional rival. The South Sydney Rabbitohs have been battling it out with St George for nearly 100 years, including since 1998 when the Dragons absorbed the long term “nursery” at Wollongong. In those 97 years, the Saints Dragons have chalked up 16 premierships, the Rabbitohs 21. The rivalry is fierce; points gouged out of rock hard defences; wins celebrated with fervour. Mother’s Day 2018 lived up to the hype and it was the Rabbitohs who snatched the chocolates to spoil the men in Red V’s party. It was the three Souths Poms against the two in Saints guernseys. The cardinal red and Myrtle greens won! Manly upset the Brisbane diehards, putting aside their truckload of on and off the field troubles to stun the passionate northerners. The Sharks showed enormous courage and bucket loads of talent to outpoint the “can’t run for 80 minutes” Raiders. The Canberra men snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for at least the fourth time this season. Sharks – character builders; Raiders – coach destroyers! Eastern Suburbs Roosters strutted their red, white and blue plumes across the ditch against the tackle-shy Aucklanders. Dean Pay’s Bulldogs bounced the Eels back down the Parramatta River, the Storm held out some feisty Titans, while the Tigers returned to their beloved Leichhardt Oval and mauled JT and his North Queensland Cowboys. On a weekend that started with icy cold winds and finished in warm sunshine, some mums were grinners and some sons were sinners – but rugby league shone brightly again! Good luck to all except those ahead of me in the tipping table! The Saint PS Off to Mudgee “Sundee” to see the big Red V boys tackle the Green Machine.

GAME ON!

Wounded Roos put it up to comp leaders By GEOFF MANN THE day was going perfectly for Dubbo Kangaroos on Saturday until the front-runners, Orange Emus, spread their wings. Well, sent the ball wide to their fast running wingers! Beau Robinson’s men gave Emus a fright, but in the end, with a cache of “weapons” on the sidelines and two of the club’s best forwards forced to play in the centres, the visitors crossed for three tries. The Roos Colts and Seconds were strong while Third Grade’s new coach Paul Elliott is claiming an unbeaten record! The former Country skipper was keen to play again this season but tore his ACL in the first match so has taken to the clipboard instead.

Newcomer Tim Beach showed his versatility, adapting to a third Centre partner in as many weeks.

Shaun McHugh leads ﬁrst grade on to the stirring “Roo, Roo, Roo” of his club mates.

Rookie Hamish Smith ripped in to the big name Emus pack with conﬁdence, inspired by the experienced Jim Elliot and Will Chaffey.

Tim Beach ﬁres out a pass Left: Chris O’Shea (2) was called up to hooker when impressive prop Johnny Maﬁti became ill on Saturday morning. Here he and his fellow forwards are feeling the “wisdom” of former Wallaby, now coach, Beau Robinson. Right: James Elliott has slotted back into the second row after a season “milking cows”. The Bug Little Dairy farmer has lost none of his toughness.

Will Chaffey is a powerful player when work commitments allow Photo sequence, left: A Roos “joey”, the younger Cullen Ward is a chip off the old bloke! Dad Tim was in action earlier in the Thirstys, and the young bloke was determined to stop the runaway Emu from scoring in the main game! The sequence of photos shows the young bloke standing on the sideline, then on the ground after being clipped by a ﬂying Emu (yellow arrows). From all reports, “experience gained; no injuries; back (literally) in the bench next home game!”

A really touching story from Dunedoo By GEOFF MANN ON these pages we have shared many tales about Touch over the years, but this one, while a little dated, is right up there with the best. It is a heart-warming story of two sisters who answered a random email, jumped in their car and lifted the spirits of an entire community. The essence of the yarn came from Greg Norman, son of Wal and Joan and brother of Jenny Astri who went through South High, and who regularly updates me on his son Peter and his latest exploits with the Australian team. Last week he wrote with results of the Trans-Tasman series in New Zealand, and included in the email was this amazing story. It seems Peter’s partner, Danni Davis, who is a star of the Australian Women’s team, received a note out of the blue from a young touch player in Dunedoo last year. Danni takes up the story on her blog. “Last year I received a private Instagram message from Dunedoo Central high school student, Lauren Sullivan. A few months earlier Dunedoo had been hit with horrendous bushfires that tore through the region, destroying homes, land and the hearts of

the Dunedoo community. “Lauren’s message was simple. She reached out to see what the chances were that I could make the trip to Dunedoo to lift their school Touch team’s spirits as they were training for the upcoming top ten state tournament. “She said in the message that if I couldn’t make it she would understand and asked me to send a message instead. “Straight away I typed ‘Dunedoo’ into my maps and told my sister Shellie about it. I contacted Touch Football Australia (TFA) to see if they could provide me with some gear to take and give to the school to help with their touch programs. “Shellie and I made the trip to Dunedoo, where Lauren and her family hosted us on their farm. What an experience that was! “Dirt roads, acres upon acres of open land and some animals to go with it! It was absolutely incredible to experience the country, being a born and raised beaches girl! “We ran a session with the Open Girls team and gave a speech to the girls in years 7-12. We helped the league tag team train that evening, and the following day helped run a touch clinic for all the girls in the school. “It was honestly an eye-open-

ing experience for me, and I am so happy I took the leap of faith and decided to go. I hope one day I find the time to go back and take Pete with me. “The Dunedoo community was so respectful and generous and Shellie and I are so happy to have experienced what their town has to offer,” Danni said. This is an amazing country, made all the more amazing by sportspeople like Danni and Shellie who show generosity unmatched, and maintain our eternal hope. I have already suggested a return to Dunedoo and the west for the girls from the beachside with their touching friend who grew up in the bush. We may be able to build it around Touch, Men Of League and Bowls! BTW – The Mixed team won game 1 and 3. Danni’s Women’s team won their first two Tests – the third was cancelled due to the amount of rain. The Men just won the first game, lost the second by 1 and the final Test went to overtime. Peter and the Aussies ensured the Trans Tasman Trophy came back across the ditch in a drop-off, where teams and our drop-off restart with only five players and lose one at allotted intervals.

Men of League Bowls Day raises signiﬁcant funds

NEARLY 100 men and women rolled up on the well-prepared Dunedoo Bowls Club greens recently and swelled the coffers of the Western Men of League (MOL) Foundation by nearly $8000. Funds were raised from entry fees, a wonderful array of donated raffle prizes and the generosity of supporters in a well-contested auction. Australian winger Neville Glover and former Parramatta team mate Dennis Mount shared their memories of playing in the then NSW Rugby League competition. Like all others, they held full-time jobs and played sport for figures that today’s players wouldn’t get out of bed for!

Sports Snippets z Dubbo Ducks Presentation Night is on Saturday night, May 26, at the RSL Starlight Room. It will be a chance for the “Dry Ducks” to reflect on another season that unfortunately finished too early. Hopefully the ducklings will get their tail feathers wet again before the winter ends. Ducks gather for a ‘quack quack’ at 6 with further formal pecking at 7! z Ranch Sorters are back. Next weekend, May 26 & 27, Dubbo’s growing band of Ranch Sorters will be plying their skills at the showground. Rider and horse will pit their skills against pens of cattle. The events cover all ages and levels of skill and spectators are most welcome.

Learning from Bradman: Work-life balance Matt Ellis ❚ OPINION THOSE who know me well understand my appreciation for Sir Donald Bradman as a cricketer and a human being. My twitter feed is often littered with statistics and facts highlighting my admiration for the great man.

A lesser-known story about D.G. Bradman is reflected in a plaque at the Bradman Museum. It conveys the message that Sir Don had lobbied for Australian players to have their wives stay with them at the end of a tour of England in 1938.

When Bradman returned home for the domestic summer, South Australia won the Sheffield Shield, largely due to scores of 118, 143, 225, 107, 186 and 135 in consecutive innings from the cricketing legend. To top it all off, in June 1939, John Bradman was born. Now I am not doubting that Bradman is likely to have scored runs regardless of off-field influences, however, his numbers on return to Australia brought me to the logical conclusion that there is a correlation between off-field stability and on-field performance. I have certainly found this to be true in my professional life and I strongly believe that when I am making time to be present with the people I love, I have a greater capacity to achieve my potential

at work. It can seem counter intuitive, particularly when you are striving to achieve KPIs and you feel like there are not enough hours in a day, to intentionally prioritise time for the relationships that matter most to you. However, I have found that the confidence and freedom that comes from being in an environment where I am loved unconditionally has enabled

` Sir Donald Bradman’s playing statistics brought me to the logical conclusion that there is a correlation between off-ﬁeld stability and onﬁeld performance.... a

my mind to be free from insecurities and doubts. I really want to make time each day to be fully present with the people that I love. My desire is that my children will know that they are valuable and worth listening to. It is my hope that my wife will know she is cherished and loved. I also strive for excellence in my work. I don’t always get the balance right, in fact there have been times I have got it horribly wrong. However, this is a journey I think a lot of us are on, so let’s encourage others to be intentional today and invest some energy in the relationships that matter most to us. z Matt Ellis is Cricket NSW Development Manager – Far West

Men of League support Kara’s Ultimate Fight Against Cancer By GEOFF MANN KARA and Robert “Gummy” Toomey and their boys Rome and Cruze are a beautiful family in need following devastating medical news. The couple have devoted themselves to running highly-acclaimed youth programs through their gym, Pound for Pound. The innovative sessions combine their two loves – junior rugby league and boxing – and are designed to give hope to Indigenous boys. Kara works tirelessly alongside Gummy in the empowerment of others. Sadly, Kara has Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She has already endured a lumpectomy, radiation and chemotherapy and had hoped the worst was over allowing her to return with vigour to her vocation. On Monday, March 5, at 9.40am, time once again stood still. Kara and Gummy were handed crushing news that the cancer had returned. Not only returned; it was inoperable. “With all conventional cancer treatments ruled out, Kara has pinned her hopes on a tri-

al immunotherapy treatment. The expense and drain of weekly trips from their home in Dubbo to Sydney is mounting. The Youth Programs will have to cease. The future of Pound and Pound is in jeopardy,” according to friend and organiser of an upcoming support dinner, Don Hayden. “Kara’s concern is, as always, more for others than herself and she is especially

worried about the future education of her two sons, Rome and Cruze.” Don is leading a team of friends and dedicated supporters of the young, generous couple. The Men of League Foundation is joining forces to ensure the quality of life for this young family is maintained as they deal with a rotten set of cards. “Kara was vehemently op-

posed to any assistance in her first battle, but this is now a war she can’t win on her own,” Don added, “so we are putting out a call across the community to assist in the best way possible.” It is indeed a challenging time. “Kara has been a source of light, a ray of hope and a giver of tomorrows for so many. We ask now with our hearts and arms open wide to her plight that you give anything you have to ease the road to follow for this beautiful and inspiring family,” an emotional Don Hayden said. “Like Kara, be the change you wish to see in the world and give all you can to be her light, her hope and her chance for a lifetime of tomorrows,” Don asked. The dinner and fundraising auction will be held on Saturday, May 26, at the Dubbo RSL Club. If you have any queries or would like to donate or, better still, come along to the Fundraising Dinner, call Don Hayden on 0427 055 099. As at Tuesday this week, 300 of the 400 tickets had been sold – which is great news.

Matt never forgets his mate

DUBBO Kangaroos utility back Matt Saul has more than his share of sadness in his young life but he toughs it out in honour of his little brother Brendan and another young bloke from Wellington. Matt’s friend Blake Shearan died in a car crash over near Mudgee on November 25, 2011. “Blake played with the Wellington Redbacks and we were in Central West junior teams coming up through the ages. “I haven’t played a game of footy without carrying him on my wrist since,” the young Roo with the heart of a lion wrote. This is what makes rugby, and sport in general, so heartening.

The weather was cold, the track was fast, and the horses were out on show

SPECTATORS rugged up and huddled around fire buckets as the Dubbo Harness Racing Club hosted its Carnival of Cups in conjunction with the local Dubbo Show last weekend. Those who braved the elements absorbed a feast of riches as My Casino Belle lived up to her form to claim the Group 3 Red Ochre Mares and Fillies Cup.

Amanda Turnbull was masterful winning the Little Red Jug with Our Positano, the Regional Council City Cup behind Atomic Red and the last race on Firestorm Red to complete a memorable treble. In what Dubbo Club President Len Edwards described as “one of the most stirring races at the track in history”, the four-year-

old Atomic Red fought a pulsating battle with Ultimate Art, an eight-year-old pacer with two Interdominion Races in her bag. “It was a record-breaking run and an unbelievable battle as the young horse held out against the old stager. They finished one-two nearly 45 metres or 3 secs clear of their nearest rivals. Magnificent!”

GOLDIE IS THE ROOS...

Action man THERE’S no doubting Dubbo Rugby Club’s Anthony Goulding is versatile. He arrived at the club from Central North to help the Roos claim their last Blowes Cup in 2014. Since then he has played every position in the backline, suffered a

broken arm and several other injuries, out on some extra padding and then trimmed down to his best this season under coach Beau Robinson. He is always chatty, gives lots of directions, runs with purpose and kicks goals!

The Kangaroos put aside last minute withdrawals and injuries to push the unbeaten Orange Emus all the way on Saturday.
