THE STORY OF AUSTRALIA
This Sunday, January 26, is Australia Day. Our region will be celebrating the story of this nation in many different ways. Paul Featherstone, a recipient of the Ambulance Service’s highest award for bravery, will be Wellington’s Australia Day Ambassador, while the founder of the Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Program (IPROWD), Peter Gibbs, has been named the Australia Day Ambassador for Dubbo. See page 8 for more details on local ceremonies and activities. For this week’s Aussie cover photo, we invited Anthea Patteson (holding the lamington), Alix Rowe (with Kelpie puppy Fuse), Darryl Lidgard (with Aussie can and cap), Black Labrador Ovo and Brown Boxer Draco to dress up for the occasion.

FISH DEATHS ‘FRIGHTENING’
By JOHN RYAN
HUNDREDS of dead native fish, including some Murray Cod as long as one metre, were found on a 50 metre stretch of the Macquarie River just south of Dubbo last Saturday. They’d been starved of oxygen in the water after localised rain events saw dirty brown flows – run-off from degraded country – create strong flows in the Bell and Little Rivers and flood into the Macquarie, overwhelming the clearer water. Inland Waterways president Matt Hansen
said when you multiply that number of dead fish along the length of affected water, and take into account that many more fish would have died but not ended up on the bank, the number of dead natives is “frightening”. “Some of the dissolved oxygen levels for the Macquarie River at Dubbo on Saturday were as low as 0.6 mgL at Butler’s Falls, and fish need levels of 4 to 15 mgL to be happy and healthy,” Mr Hansen said. “Thousands of fish are already dead or on the ropes. It’s not good at all. “Shrimp, catfish, Murray cod and yellow bellies are floating and/or gasping for air.”
As Dubbo Photo News walked along the riverbank with Mr Hansen, we filmed dozens of catfish that were pushing up against the riverbank, swimming sideways with their gills in the open air trying to ingest some desperately needed oxygen. Innumerable numbers of freshwater shrimp were lying dead on the banks, and this is just what we could see above the water line after the river flush had receded. “I’ve never seen anything like it”, Mr Hansen said.

Muddy river causes more water problems RESIDENTS in Dubbo, Wellington and Geurie can expect lower water pressure and are being urged to take extra steps to save water after weekend rain and dust storms increased the muddiness of the Macquarie River. Dubbo Regional Council’s manager of water supply and sewerage, Stephen Carter, said on Tuesday that turbidity had increased treatment process times and residents might experience low water pressure for some days. “Water is meeting the Australian Drinkwater Guidelines although the treatment process is slower to ensure water quality continues to be met,” he said. Council is asking residents to reducing usage as much as possible while the unexpected river water conditions continue. Council says it has halted watering at all parks in Dubbo, Wellington and Geurie except cricket wickets until river turbidity settles.

Native fish deaths ‘frightening’ Continued from page 1
Mel Gray is a driving force behind Dubbo RiverCare and has been warning for months that run-off from eroded and degraded farmland would impact the Macquarie when it finally rained. Sadly, she said, that prediction has come true. With little native vegetation along the riparian zone, she said there’s little in the way of natural defences to filter the fertilisers and toxins before they run into the river and she believes that may not be the worst of it. “Platypus on the Macquarie River will have a challenging year. Water from the dead water storage area of Burrendong Dam will be released into the river. I’m very worried there are heavy metals and toxins in that sludge,” Ms Gray said. “After that, the river is scheduled to be stopped at Burrendong, with no more water available. What remains of the river after that will quickly dry up, and that will be catastrophic for platypus, indeed all river life, including native fish and turtles. “This overzealous allocation of water for extraction by the NSW government is the reason – they chose to ignore clear signs that the drought we are in was coming,” she said. Together with Matt Hansen, Ms Gray is calling on the state government to cough up for three fishways promised when Burren-
tive Fish Drought Response, including efforts in the Macquarie valley.” Mel Gray said while those fish rescue efforts were amazing, once again she said it’s local people trying to patch up the government-made disaster. “The fact that our volunteers and fisheries staff had to rescue these fish is appalling. I celebrate what the inland waterways guys have done but they shouldn’t have been forced into that situation, it was desperation. “The warnings have been there for years about the dangers of drying rivers, and in 2013 it was forecast that there’d be 30 per cent less potable water available in the Dubbo Matt Hansen and the “frightening” sight of hundreds of dead native fish along the region by 2030.

WILDLIFE APPEAL
LITTLE BOY, BIG HEART: DALTON’S KOALA QUEST
By LYDIA PEDRANA LAST month, Dubbo Photo News spoke with local mother, Helen McCubbin, who held sincere concerns for the safety of her 25-year-old son, Matthew, who is a full-time resident in a facility managed by disability service provider Westhaven. Matthew lives with autism, has a severe intellectual disability and minimal language, meaning he requires “intense support”. However, Mrs McCubbin had been informed that her son’s level of care was about to drop because Westhaven’s applications for adequate funding from National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) had been knocked back. As a result, Matthew’s oneon-one care would soon change to two carers between three men. Mrs McCubbin explained that her son struggles to express himself and is unable to carry out everyday tasks by himself. “Matthew has no real awareness of safety issues including crossing the road, turning on and using hot and cold taps, and dealing with sharp or dangerous objects,” she said. “He is unable to shower and dress himself without assistance and he requires support to carry out self-care tasks such as cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping, drying himself, accessing the community in any capacity, personal hygiene and managing his medications”. While she didn’t expect funding for one-on-one assistance 24 hours a day, Mrs McCubbin felt it was reasonable that Matthew had a dedicated carer to help him through morning and evening routines at least. “I don’t consider this an excessive request,” she told Dubbo Photo News at the time. “I am at a loss to know where to turn as this reduction in care

By LYDIA PEDRANA HE may be small, but four-year-old Dalton Hall is certainly mighty. The young animal enthusiast has developed a soft spot for the koalas injured in the fires and, of his own volition, decided to collect as many dollars and cents as he can to help the iconic creatures. “He’s always liked koalas and ever since there’s been all the fire coverage on the news, he’s just had a huge interest in them,” his mum, Sophie Hall, told Dubbo Photo News. “He’s not even watching ABC
Kids, he usually watches ABC Kids every morning, but he wants the news on, he just loves animals. “On Sunday when we had the dust storm, he was more worried about what the birds were going to do.” Now, Dalton is carrying around a money tin his nan bought him, filling it with any spare change he can get his hands on. Ms Hall has also set up a fundraising page on Facebook to help Dalton reach his target of $200. While the shrapnel in the weighty money tin hasn’t been counted yet, as of Monday, the
Facebook fundraising page was already sitting at $147. All money raised by Dalton will go directly to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital. Ms Hall also hopes to take her big-hearted son to visit the koala hospital in the near future. “He’s just the kindest little boy I’ve ever met,” she said. If you would like to contribute to Dalton’s fundraiser, head to the Fundraisers section on Fa-cebook and search for “Help Dalton Help the Koalas” or simply type https:// bit.ly/2TEAC6w into your browser.
will result in issues, possibly even injury”. As well as speaking to Dubbo Photo News, Mrs McCubbin wrote to Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton asking for support. Following enquiries made by this publication and Mr Coulton to Westhaven and the NDIA, we are pleased to report that the stakeholders have come together to approve a new plan for Matthew and ensure he receives support during high need times in the morning and evening. Understandably, Mrs McCubbin is thrilled with this outcome. “Around those sorts of times when you’re doing lots of showering, dressing, self-care, cooking, cleaning, he will have somebody with him and that’s good,” she said. “I really couldn’t have asked for any better than that”. Mr Coulton was also “pleased” to see Mr McCubbin’s Roster of Care reviewed and encouraged residents in his electorate with issues relating to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to contact his office for assistance. “A key part of my role as Member for Parkes is representing my constituents and their needs to the best of my ability, no matter how unique those needs may be, so it’s great to see some positive movement on this matter,” Mr Coulton said. “The Government has a plan to address some of the challenges we are seeing with NDIS in the community and I am confident these changes will make the NDIS work better for everyone.” Furthermore, a spokesperson said the NDIA will “continue to work with (the McCubbins) to ensure (Matthew) has appropriate funding for the disability-related supports he needs.”

NATIONAL CELEBRATION
Australia Day: Let’s be Frank, says Riverbank
WHERE ON GOOGLE EARTH ? Where in our region is shown in this satellite image? Clue: A level of government; a church on one side and park on the other. ANSWER: SEE OUR TV+ GUIDE
By LYDIA PEDRANA
LOCAL legend, “Riverbank” Frank Doolan, thinks it’s time we write a new story together. As January 26 approaches, annual public debates over whether Australia’s national day should be celebrated or mourned and whether the date should be changed are brewing. Originally commemorating the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove and the beginning of British colonisation, in recent years, many indigenous leaders have pushed for the date of Australia Day to be moved. This week, Prime Minister Scott Morrison shut down questions about changing the date during a breakfast television appearance saying “of course” he thinks the date should stay as is. His comments came after the Institute of Public Affairs released a poll which found 71 per cent of people support Australia Day being celebrated on January 26. Riverbank Frank, a proud Wiradjuri man and well-respected figure within the Dubbo community, also believes there’s no need for a date change. “I’ve got no problems with it (Australia Day),” Riverbank Frank told Dubbo Photo News. “In my younger days, that wasn’t always the case. I had my time as what I would describe as “an angry Aborigine” myself, but I’ve come through that to the point where I believe the words of the song: “I am, you are, we are Australian”. “I believe it truly applies and, you know, I accept the fact – and it is a fact – that it’s our National Day. I’m not really taken or caught up on the “change the date” arguments or stuff like that.” Riverbank Frank’s opinion of Australia Day changed when he realised “anger is a waste of emotion” and rather than “just keep shouting at each other,” he wanted to discover solutions. Now, he sees Australia Day as a time to “pause and reflect and

celebrate all that’s good” without blocking out the past. “I kind of came to that point and the realisation that it requires a contribution on my part too – it’s kind of a give and take thing, you know? There are parts of our history, our shared history, that are absolutely horrific, but by the same token there are other parts that are really inspiring,” he said. “By having those views, I don’t lose anything of my own identity, my own cultural values and standards that I live by. It’s not a sell-out in anyway – it’s just, if you like, more of an acceptance and tolerance of the other person and trying to operate in the belief that all of us have a story and every
story matters. We need to maybe listen to each other’s stories and learn from them and write a new story together.” Another topic that attracts continued controversy is the design of the Australian flag, which currently incorporates the British Union Jack. Campaign groups such as AusFlag have argued that the Union Jack should be scrapped because its presence on our national flag fails to recognise our indigenous past. Riverbank Frank, on the other hand, doesn’t believe the country’s flag needs to be changed, but rather the Australian and Aboriginal flags can “coexist alongside of
each other”. “I think the two are separate flags. I know that the Australian government and the world, in fact, recognises the Aboriginal flag so I don’t see a need for it to be incorporated or swallowed up by another flag,” he said. “Within that, I respect the Australian flag as it is now too. By that I’m just saying I don’t go into the flag burning and all the other stuff, I kind of see these things really as symbols, if you like, of who we are. “Uppermost in all our relationships and, I think, in every way, should be respect. If we have respect there, well, we have a chance, you know?”
GRACE BRENNAN has continued her quest to close the gap between city and country, delivering a spine-tingling Australia Day address. The Buy From The Bush (BFTB) founder and Warren local used real-life examples to prove big things can happen when Australians come together. “At a time when much is made of the divide between city and country, between the left and the right, between big business and small business, the strength of a united community has achieved real change,” Mrs Brennan said in her address. “It (BFTB) has opened up conversations, it has lifted spirits, it has created jobs and it has undoubtedly saved businesses.” Mrs Brennan also highlighted some of harsh realities of the drought, calling out some of the ways her community had suffered. “Profits turned to losses. Contractors lose their contracts. Farm employees get laid off. People stop going in to town quite so much. Shopping lists contract. School fundraisers are cancelled because people aren’t buying tickets.” She pointed out that the BFTB campaign was not about “pity”, but rather a way of updating the “bush narrative” connecting people to the bush “out of pride, curiosity and desire”. “(BFTB) is less about crisis relief and more about sustainable support for rural communities in the long term,” she said. “It is not about charity. It is about investment.” The campaign began last October at Mrs Brennan’s kitchen table and has now amassed more than 207,000 followers.

Rain damages grave sites MAINTENANCE crews have been busy across Wellington after weekend storms dumped more than 40mm of rain on the town. Among parts of town where crews are repairing damage is the lawn section at Wellington Cemetery. Fast falling rain on Friday and overnight Sunday, the first to fall in town for the year, caused the ground of 12 grave sites to subside. Crews waited until mid-week for the sodden ground to drain and dry before moving machinery in to begin backfilling of soil. Council has erected safety zones around the affected graves while the works take place.

PERFECT STORM
More to come as dust bowls a region over
Dust over Dubbo: Soil scientist Professor Stephen Cattle warns there’s more on the way and all we can do is wait for rain. Reader Daryl Grimson captured this extraordinary image of Sunday’s monster dust storm, taken from a drone as the dust arrives over the top of the hill on Minore Road and the airport. Daryl described the strangely eerie “dead calm” before the gargantuan tsunami of red dust enveloped our city, turning day into night. PHOTO: DARYL GRIMSON
By LYDIA PEDRANA SOMETIMES, Mother Nature just wins. That’s according to Associate Professor Stephen Cattle, a soil scientist at the University of Sydney, who warns that dust storms are likely to keep rolling over the region and climate change is largely to blame. “I think climate change, and the way it’s affecting the reliability of our rainfall and temperature patterns, just means we’re likely to see the frequency of these things (dust storms) occur more in the future, although not every year. When we have these short, sharp droughts, that’s when we can expect to see a bit of wind
erosion action kicking in again unfortunately,” Professor Cattle, who hails from West Wyalong, told Dubbo Photo News. Right now, the western NSW region is in prime condition for these perfect dust storms. A generous dose of dry, loose soil and minimal vegetative cover mixed with a vigorous frontal wind system is the textbook recipe for such events. “Lots of flat, bare earth and no rain, no grass and this cold front has come through and whooshed it all up basically”. And while you could be excused for feeling as if the apocalypse had hit last Sunday night, Professor Cattle said such events aren’t a new phenomenon.
Even Sydney experienced something similar back in the ‘40s. “A number of years ago, I wrote a big academic paper on the dust bowl back in the first 50 years of the last century, and in that period, there were various bad droughts where we had catastrophic wind erosion and dust storm events,” he said. “For example, over the summer period of 1944-45, Sydney had red dust so thick you couldn’t see across the harbour, six times in one summer.” So, is there anything we can do to stop these wild gusts of dirt? The short answer is no. The long answer is rain. Until rain settles the abun-
dance of bone-dry soil in places further west than Dubbo, we are likely to cop these dusty blasts again and again. “I would think it’s likely we will get more dust storms until such time as the source areas of the dust – and by that, I mean more or less the entire western division – get some rain and a green pick on them or a bit of vegetation starting to grow again. Until then I think the bare earth is going to be there waiting to be blown away,” Professor Cattle warned. “But sometimes when Mother Nature dictates it, there’s nothing you can do really. If it doesn’t rain you can’t grow grass obviously. I think sometimes Mother Nature just wins, simple as that.”
POLICE have charged two people after drugs and a knife were located during a vehicle search in Dubbo. About 5.45pm on January 16, officers stopped a Holden Colorado on Myall Street and conducted a random breath test. After a conversation with the driver, officers attached to Orana Mid Western Police District Detectives and Region Enforcement Squad searched the vehicle, seizing cash, drugs and a knife. A 25-year-old man was taken to Dubbo Police Station where he was charged with supply prohibited drug. An 18-year-old woman was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with custody of knife in a public place and goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen.

Summit to address water issues By JOHN RYAN GROWING up in Victoria’s Goulburn Valley, Geoff Beeson says he became fascinated how water and irrigation systems were managed around the rivers which produced much of the nation’s fruit and dairy products. He has background in science and a PhD in science education and has had a lengthy career as an independent researcher and educator, is an honorary professor and former pro vice-chancellor of Deakin University and has written A Water Story: Learning from the Past, Planning for the Future, a book set to be published by CSIRO next month. In light of the current drought, the depletion of our local river systems and fish kills, it’s timely that Dr Beeson will be the keynote speaker at Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana’s January 30 Inland Growth Summit, where he will discuss the highs and lows of water use practices in Australia. “I’ve always had an interest but the past few years, I decided to put the book together because we have a lot of management issues

The 2020 Bridge Hub Water Challenge has just been announced and will examine the issue of water scarcity in Australia and the need to find solutions to ensure ongoing quality, efficiency, productivity and profitability. “Bridge Hub is an industry-led initiative that brings together the pillars
of industry, research and government,” Blue River Group co-CEO and founder Craig Shapiro said. “Our current focus is to uncover and fast-track solutions for water challenges across the agrisystem. “Australia is not alone in facing water issues. Water scarcity is a universal problem being exacerbated by changes in our climate – we need to urgently find solutions – we are focused on finding tangible, practical solutions that can have an immediate positive impact both in Australia and around the world.”
COMMEMORATIVE
Grants to mark Victory in the Pacific Day GRANTS of up to $10,000 are available to community groups and organisations to help conduct commemorative activities to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific Day. The Saluting Their Service (STS) Commemorative Grants program was recently expanded to place a focus on the Second World War and later wars, conflicts and peace keeping operations. Victory in the Pacific Day marked the end of the Second World War. Nearly one million Australians served in the Second World War resulting in 39,000 dying and 30,000 being taken prisoner.

Animal welfare Taronga’s top priority during record heat By NATALIE LEWIS

WITH January’s hot temperatures and dry and dusty conditions at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, staff are doing their best to look after each other, their wonderful wildlife and visitors to the open range facility. “The staff and animals have been coping reasonably well during the recent extreme heat,” zoo director Steve Hinks told Dubbo Photo News. “Staff are always advised to look out for each other during this time, carry water with them and take a break indoors if they feel affected by the heat. The zoo’s veterinary team is always on standby should an animal need assistance.” Mr Hinks said that during the summer months, keepers and maintenance staff begin work earlier in the day in order to get manual tasks done. Animal welfare is also the

zoo’s top priority. Signs of heat stress vary with each species but can include panting, paw licking or periods of inactivity. It could also be seen through a change in body posture or, in severe cases, as a seizure or coma. “Keepers use a variety of different ways to keep the animals cool during extreme temperatures including ice block enrichment and turning the irrigation on where appropriate. Some animals have mud wallows or pools, all the animals have shade available on their exhibits and in their night yards.” Mr Hinks also had some advice for the public as to how to help an animal in distress. “If an animal is showing signs of heat stress but appears uninjured and alert, people can offer a shallow bowl of water (for the animal) to drink from or place a sprinkler
nearby.” Visitors to the zoo have the option of driving, walking or biking around the circuit. “Many people choose to drive rather than walk or bike ride on days when it is hot,” Mr Hinks said. “We also encourage guests to be sun smart, carry water with them and take advantage of the two con-

Mayor calls on Federal Government to fund postage for regional retailers
Travel on the cards for seniors
DUBBO Regional Council Mayor Ben Shields has written to Member for Parkes Mark Coulton requesting the government consider assisting regional retailers with postage needs. Between November 21 and December 5, council provided $7268 in funding to participating retailers to allow them to offer free postage on items, encouraging them to be part of the Buy From the Bush phenomenon and hit a wider market. Almost 800 parcels were shipped during this time to almost every state in Australia. “For obvious reasons, it is a program that local councils cannot run themselves in the long term. However, considering that the federal government owns Australia Post, its involvement is more practical,” Cr Shields said.
REGIONAL seniors can apply for the $250 Regional Seniors Travel Card from Wednesday, January 29. To be eligible, you must be an age pensioner with a valid Pensioner Concession Card or hold a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card issued by either the Department of Human Services or Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Seniors must also live in regional NSW outside Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong City Council boundaries. Eligible seniors will have a minimum of 12 months to use their card from the time of activation. Eligible seniors will be able to use their card to purchase fuel, use taxi services or travel on NSW TrainLink trains and coaches.

Ballimore remnant trees damaged by council project
Youth Council recruiting for coming year’s program ARE you aged between 12 and 24 and want to make a difference in your community? Membership for the Dubbo City Youth Council for 2020 is now open. “Every year we have an enthusiastic and committed group of students from the high schools, TAFE, Charles Sturt University and young people working in Dubbo who come together to give a young person’s perspective on the future of the area,” Dubbo Regional Council community services manager John Watts said. “The Youth Council provides young people with direct input on youth issues and involves them in the local government decision-making processes.” In 2020 the Youth Council will coordinate NSW Youth Week Celebrations between Wednesday to Thursday, April 1-9. The Dubbo City Youth Council meets monthly and makes comments and recommendations annually on Council’s management plan, budget and reviews of the 2040 Community Strategic Plan.

Exhibition opportunity for past, present and future ArtClub students A Ballimore resident has expressed concern over damage to a tree in her street caused by council’s village sealing project, raising doubts about council’s attention to detail on street and endangered tree care and legislation. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.
COUNCIL WATCH By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY BALLIMORE resident Anne McAlpine is angry with Dubbo Regional Council’s handling of a Village Sealing Project in her community, which she says proceeded without warning and included unexpected damage to remnant trees in her street. “I had no prior notice that work was about to begin at all!” she said. Mrs McAlpine’s problems began on Wednesday, January 8, when road work equipment arrived and graded a section of Bomen Street and the local school’s perimeter. “They returned Thursday and started to rip and grade the drainage lines. Once again without any prior notice. A flyer was subsequently placed in my letterbox on Thursday, January 9, outlining Council’s intentions.” The notice from Council advises the Village Sealing Project
would begin in January 2020 and include sections of Bunyip, Nardoo, Rymer and Bomen Streets. “By this time, they had used the machinery to knock branches off and rip roots out of the ground on two remnant, mature Angophora trees because the drain had to be a straight line,” she said. Dubbo Photo News contacted Council for comment and a spokesperson said: “No trees have been removed during Ballimore Village Sealing project works. Prior to commencement of work and notification to residents, Dubbo Regional Council had undertaken routine drainage maintenance grading of the village when some saplings were required to be removed.” In November last year, Dubbo Photo News reported on similar work done seven years ago on Darling Street, Dubbo, leaving residents waiting seven years for decimated street trees to be rehabilitated. On that issue, Council’s liveability director Skye Price said
tree planting and replacement was on hold during the drought. In Ballimore, Mrs McAlpine can’t understand why trees in her street, including some she had planted herself, had their roots exposed “all at a time when we have an unrelenting drought and Stage 4 water restrictions and constant days of average 40 degrees”. A presiding engineer allegedly suggested offsetting the Angophora with ten other trees elsewhere, but this was not confirmed by Council. “Offsets are extremely worrying, particularly if tube stock are planted to replace a 100-plus year old tree that provides habitat. Critically, Dubbo residents are calling for a more strategic approach with adequate consultation regarding trees in our streetscapes,” former council Community Participation Facilitator for Parks and Landcare Services, Kerry Palmer, said. “In this case at Ballimore, a professional tree assessment appears
to have been omitted. This should be a basic procedure where remnant trees that are protected under legislation are impacted, and must trigger erring on the side of caution in such works,” she said. Cofounder of Dubbo’s SOS Tree Committee, Belinda Edmondson, was not made aware of the situation. “This matter was never raised at any of our meetings,” Mrs Edmondson said, adding that a lack of consultation with local residents in regard to the destruction of trees is “a pattern we continue to see”. “We raise this issue time and time again. “Work with what we have rather than destroying our green infrastructure for the sake of a clean slate and then replant again. “Trees are so valuable for their shade, habitat and street appeal. To lose these valuable trees would be a great loss to the community of Ballimore,” Mrs Edmondson said.
DUBBO’S ArtClub group exhibition began this week at Charles Sturt University, Dubbo exhibition space, and features past, present and future ArtClub students’ work. The exhibition opened on Monday and will run until early March. Throughout the school term the club will host children’s and adult classes in watercolour, still life, landscape and portrait starting on Monday, February 3, after school for juniors and teens, and from Tuesday, February 4 for adults. Art Club workshops are limited to 12 students ensures in a small group studio environment. Workshops suit new and continuing students. Dubbo artists Jack Randell and Ruby Davies are the instructors. Mr Randell is well known for large scale expressive murals, painting, film and public art, and Ms Davies has taught at the National Arts School and TAFE Creative Industries. ArtClub Dubbo is a registered provider for Creative Kids NSW.

So you think you can dance, Dubbo? Trio impressed with local talent

Jade, Olivia Newton John, Sneaky Sound System, Delta Goodrem and Ricky Martin. Television credits include X-Factor, the ARIA Awards, The Voice and Australia’s Got Talent, with Dylan regarded as one of Sydney’s most exciting dancers. Stepping Out principal, Rikki Slack-Smith, said it’s no wonder the kids were so excited, getting a taste of such talented and experienced mentors right here at home. She had 40 junior students (5-12 years) and 30 senior students (13-20 years) take advantage of the workshop and the dancers also visited Urban Edge Dance Studio while in the city. “We think it’s very important that rural kids have exposure to not only the most innovative and newest dance choreography but are also exposed to the realities of what it is to be a performing artist at that calibre,” Mrs Slack-Smith said. “The guys were not only very generous to the students with the sharing of their dance knowledge but also their knowledge of the industry. They encouraged the kids to not only pursue their passions but to work hard and be hungry for success but humble.” She said the trio was amazed by how many kids dance in Dubbo and of the talent that exists within the city. “They said that they loved the energy and enthusiasm of our students and a particularly funny moment was when of some of the more Tik Tok (video sharing) obsessed students taught the guys a Tik Tok too,” Mrs Slack-Smith said. “They all agreed that the arts only thrives when there is a sense of community and collaboration and that was abundantly evident on the day.” She said it was also fantastic to note that, in what can be perceived as a female dominated art form, students were able to meet three male dancers at the top of their game which was “hugely inspirational and a powerful validation for our students”. “It was also wonderful to welcome students from other towns to share in the morning of fabulous dance and the guys have already messaged me to come back next year and we are very excited.”

DANCE is alive and well in Dubbo and if the huge numbers of students turning up to classes and the incredibly strong fields in local eisteddfods aren’t proof enough, the dance workshops being run in town this past week should be evidence aplenty. Stepping Out Dance Factory hosted two workshops, the first with trio Jesse Rasmussen, Dylan Maloney and Joel Rasmussen. The young students yearning for a career couldn’t believe they were dancing with professionals who have worked with some of the biggest names in showbusiness. Jesse Rasmussen was selected into the Top 20 finalists for Australia’s So You Think You Can Dance and has since returned as a choreographer for the show. He has also played the role of Tip in David Atkins’ Hot Shoe Shuffle and worked in Peter Jackson’s film, King Kong, while his musical theatre credits include Oh What A Night, Grease, Candy Man, Happy Feet and Happy Feet 2. In his spare time, Jesse runs two hip hop dance companies, J-TOWN and FlowCity – The Australian Dance Convention which has seen him work with Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaite and Savion Glover. FlowCity is the largest Australian dance convention, bringing the best choreographers from around the world to Australia. Jesse choreographed and performed for Jessica Mauboy, travelling all over Australia and was a part of Channel 9s Hey Hey It’s Saturday 2009 reunion show. Together with brother Joel, he also toured as the support act for Beyonce’s “I am...” World Tour. For his part, Joel has performed with or choreographed Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kellie Rowlands, Robbie Williams, Ricky Martin, Red Foo as well as Kylie and Danii Minogue and many more. He’s worked on the last seven seasons of The X-Factor and other credits include The Voice, MTV Awards, Bollywood box office hit DHOOM 3 in what seems to be an endless list. Dylan Maloney is a dancer/choreographer and has shared the stage with Kylie Minogue, Samantha

Drive, ride to conditions – if it’s flooded, forget it NSW Police are urging residents and visitors to Dubbo to take care on the roads ahead of hot weather leading into isolated storms over the Australia Day long weekend and into next week. Of particular concern are heavy bursts of rain which may cause flash flooding, prompting a reminder from NSW Police to never drive through floodwater and stay clear of creeks and storm drains. “The key for motorists is drive or ride to the conditions; reduce your speed to make sure there’s enough braking distance between you and the vehicle in front. “Most importantly, if the road conditions get dangerous – things like flash flooding, mud or landslides, debris or trees on the road – get off the road and wait somewhere away from trees, drains and low-lying areas and floodwaters.

He helps to arrange the day-today operations, counting and organising the sheep that come in from sales and paddock lots. “There’s a lot of work in it. It’s not just our team, there’s a lot of other people involved – our buyers, stock agents who aren’t even part of the company, they do a lot of organising as well to arrange inspections in the paddock to see if mobs of sheep fit our criteria. That gets transferred to our livestock office team and then that information comes to us so it goes through a few stages before we receive it,” Mr Arnold said. It’s been a blistering hot summer and he’s glad there’s a high roof over the sheep pens, a blessing for both the animals and the humans looking after them. “The roof’s great, it drops the temperature probably by 10 to 15 degrees and the ventilation underneath just lets the breeze through and the animals love it up there.
“There’s plenty of water and space for them, especially in summer where we back the pen density back past the criteria by an enormous amount so they get a lot more room so they can sit down and relax like they do in the paddock.” Mr Arnold said accuracy is an incredibly important part of his job. “There’s a lot of accuracy involved. If I make just one error, if I missed one sheep counting, that could be a lot of money missed so our job is to make sure we get it right and make sure the company’s getting what it paid for and the farmer gets paid for what we buy. I have to make sure it’s fair for everyone.” Mr Arnold worked for a corporate agricultural company and came to Fletchers because he wanted to learn how this part of the supply chain worked. “It helps you understand what actually goes on behind the scenes from when the lamb’s being born and the steps it takes to get to the criteria for export overseas,” he said. “I started as a normal stocky (stock agent) and built myself up quickly, which was good. I moved

up the ladder pretty well and enjoyed it.” He’s incredibly impressed with the quality and quantity of inhouse training at Fletcher’s as well
as the support and guidance from the veteran supervisors who’ve helped him. “Everyone’s here to help each other. Some days the head guy’s
going to be away so the young ones are going to have to step up for a day or two to cover them. There’s a big age gap in the industry at the moment and the older guys know they need younger people coming through to help out,” Mr Arnold said. He said anyone, male or female, who’s just finished school should look at the company as a great career option. “Fletcher’s is always a great opportunity. If you have low literacy they’ll train you up. There’s plenty of pathways and you can be on a pretty good pay packet after a couple of years, even if you didn’t go well at school. So many people who’ve struggled at school say they’ve thrived out here. “Coming to work’s an enjoyment every day. You miss it after a while when you have a break, you get sick of being home. Work becomes your second family and the guys around here treat you like family. I’ve got a good group of mates, everyone’s just mates.”
Kimberley Pearson: The sound of music TEACHING By NATALIE LEWIS MUSIC has been a lifelong love for Kimberley Pearson who started learning the flute when she was just five years old. “I wanted to be just like my older sister who played the clarinet, but I preferred the shiny instrument played by the pretty blonde girl at my primary school,” she said. Although Ms Pearson had to travel for 45 minutes each way to attend her flute lessons, she wasn’t deterred. “I wondered why there was no one in my local area who was able to teach me. That was when I started to think that it would be a great job.” It wasn’t long before playing her chosen instrument became a passion that she has passed on to other people. “I began thinking about teaching music when I was still in primary school. I loved playing, both solos and with my school band and community orchestra.” She is now a qualified instrumental music teacher specialising in the areas of woodwind instruments and music theory. “I have a Bachelor of Music, Honours, majoring in Musicology from the Sydney Conservato-rium of Music as well as a Master’s in Event Management.

“I began teaching in Dubbo five years ago but have been teaching music since 2006.” Ms Pearson teaches at the Macquarie Conservatorium and through this role, also lends her skills to primary and high school lessons in Dubbo and Narromine. “A typical day starts with a band rehearsal before school. I then teach at one or two schools during the day,” she explained. “These are group lessons for
beginners and paired and individual lessons for more advanced students.” After school and evenings are spent at the conservatorium teaching individual lessons, music theory classes and ensembles. The other big thing that many people don’t realise is the planning and preparation behind music lessons. “We don’t just turn up and teach from a book. There is a lot of prepa-
ration for each individ-ual behind the scenes to help them reach the next level, or learn that skill they have been trying to master.” Although grades are an indication of skill level, Ms Pearson said being taught by others and plenty of practice are the keys to success as a musician. “Learning from professional musicians and amazing teachers and hours upon hours of prac-tice over many years is what gets you
there,” she pointed out. Ms Pearson said the most hazardous element of the job is getting the sound levels correct. “The aspect of my job I need to be most aware of is decibel levels and hearing loss, espe-cially when you are in a room full of young children with instru-ments!” After learning how to put their instrument together, the next step for students is learning about prevention of hearing loss, both for themselves and others. “It is amazing how many students want to put the bell of their instrument right next to their friend’s ear!” For those with aspirations to become a professional musician, Ms Pearson described it as “an extremely niche, highly competitive industry”. “Stability of income can also be a challenge. Before moving to Dubbo, my husband (who is also a music teacher) and I were working through our own ABNs and therefore income fluc-tuated dramatically throughout the term. “We were so fortunate to have both the positions of woodwind and brass teaching become available at the same time at the Macquarie Conservatorium. “This definitely does not come up very often (if at all) and the ability of regional conservato-riums to provide salary-based fulltime jobs for instrumental teachers makes them very unique.”

Zoo the place to work for more than 300 And the place to stay for adventure-hungry tourists! TARONGA Western Plains Zoo currently employs 308 people including casuals, making it one of the largest single employers in Dubbo. For many staff, it’s a job for life, according to Promotions and Public Relations Coordinator Mandy Turner. “We have a large number of long serving staff members and we do find that staff enjoy working at the Zoo and do stay for a long amount of time,” she told Dubbo Photo News. The variety of work available at the zoo is an attractive perk of the job. “Keepers do rotate from section to section at the Zoo gaining experience with different animals. Some keepers will also specialise with a specific species such as elephants and only work with these animals as it is about building a relationship with each in-
dividual animal.” While the numbers of visitors to the Dubbo region has suffered recently due to drought and bushfire across the state, in the long term it will always be the school holiday periods when the zoo is at its busiest, so Taronga recommends getting in early if you want to book accommodation there. “For peak periods such as school holidays, long weekends and Saturday nights, generally you need to book over three months in advance. Mid-week stays and off peak periods are easier to book at short notice,” Mandy told Dubbo Photo News. The two popular accommodation options are Zoofari Lodge and the Billabong Camp. So what’s the difference? “Zoofari Lodge is a unique

Admission is also included in the Billabong Camp package.”

EMERGENCY REPORT
The Dubbo Photo News column dedicated to the hard work of our emergency services personnel. it’s disgusting to think anyone would seek to take advantage of people who have already been through so much,” Detective Inspector Whiteside said. “I would encourage anyone buying supplies online to only deal with people and businesses that have proven to be genuine in the past. “Where possible, it is best to only hand over money until the goods are in your possession. “And of course, the age old saying applies – if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”
NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN
MAGS smashed by storm MACQUARIE Anglican Grammar School (MAGS) was hit by a narrow storm front boasting seemingly cyclonic force winds during last weekend’s dust storm. The roof on the D-Block building was peeled back and a few trees were smashed. A good thing there’s a few days of the holidays left for MAGS to get things in order, and a great thing it didn’t happen during the term when there would have been plenty of students around.
Dusty business THERE’S been a flurry of massive dust storms in recent weeks and emergency services are calling on motorists to take care when driving in heavy dust as visibility can be greatly reduced, making the risk of collisions far greater. Police are advising drivers to travel cautiously or pull over to the side of the road if conditions deteriorate.
Kylie’s car smashed I REALLY hate the idiots who smash and vandalise for no reason. My 1997 ute was hammered a couple of times last year with a week or so between the attacks and it cost me a new driver’s side window and there were also dents and paint chips which are annoying and unsightly, but not worth the cost of repairing. It took me days to find a window and have it fitted and it wasted a lot of valuable police resources chasing up an almost nil-evidence volume crime that has little chance of ever being solved. All up, I’m probably at least ten hours and $500 out of pocket, and my ute isn’t as good as it was before these gutless attacks. These past couple of weeks, Kylie Ann Wells has been going through similar problems, although she was hit harder than me. “It’s just quite stressful and there seems to be no ending,” she told me after her 2002 VX Commodore had a couple of door windows and the windscreen smashed in a late night attack. “I had to pay to get the two door windows fixed but I’m still finding it hard to get a windscreen. “And honestly, while I’m fixing this I seem to feel like I’m wasting my money, thinking it will most likely just happen again,” she said. These crimes may not be huge headline grabbers, but similar things happen to so many people and it has a major impact on everyone involved. Except, of course, the losers committing these crimes.

Murdered Bandito bikie named
Charges laid – Coonamble multiple stabbing
POLICE have confirmed the man shot in the head and killed at a property on Catombal Road, Eurimbla (about 50km south of Wellington) on January 14, was 60-year-old Shane De Britt. He’s believed to have been the Bandidos motorcycle gang central west chapter president. The State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad, assisted by Criminal Groups Squad and Orana Mid-Western Police District detectives, are investigating the circumstances surrounding the man’s death under Strike Force Kerrison. The investigation has a focus on links to outlaw motorcycle gang activity in the region. Investigators are appealing to the community for any information that may be able to assist with their inquiries. They are also seeking any dash cam vision from vehicles travelling in the vicinity of Catombal Road on Monday (13 January 2020) night and Tuesday morning. Vision can be handed into any police station or uploaded to Crime Stoppers online.
THREE women have been charged and two women remain in hospital after a fight in Coonamble during a wild weekend in the town. Police believe five women were involved in the fight in Aberford Street about 2.30am on January 18, where two sisters, aged 20 and 22, were allegedly stabbed with a broken bottle during a fight with three other women. The older sister suffered a punctured lung after being stabbed in the back, while the younger sister has two stab wounds to her back. They were driven to Coonamble Hospital before being transferred to Dubbo Base Hospital for further treatment. Following inquiries, a 20-yearold woman and 47-year-old woman attended Coonamble Police Station and were arrested. They’ve been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and affray, and were granted conditional bail to appear at Coonamble Local Court on February 18. On January 19, a 23-year-old woman was arrested and charged with two counts of reckless wounding, two counts of wound person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and affray.
Dubbo duo on firearms charges POLICE working with Strike Force Colenso arrested two people in Dubbo as part of an investigation into a firearm supply syndicate supplying prohibited firearms across NSW. A 20-year-old man was charged with two counts of use/supply stolen firearm or firearm part, and supply/give ammunition to person not authorised. The 27-yearold woman was charged with supply firearm to person unauthorised, unauthorised supply of firearm part, and supply/ give ammunition to person not authorised. Both appeared at Dubbo Local Court and were granted strict conditional bail to reappear at the same court this week. Police say many of the firearms were stolen from rural properties across NSW. During the course of the investigation, police seized 17 firearms – including rifles, shotguns, shortened firearms and a pistol – firearm parts, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and prohibited weapons. Investigations under Strike Force Colenso are ongoing.
Lightning Ridge suspicious death POLICE have appealed to the public for information regarding the suspicious death of 39-yearold Christine Neilan, whose body was found in bushland near Sunflash Street and Black Prince Drive at Lightning Ridge on January 9. A post mortem examination revealed she died from serious head injuries. Christine had been in Lightning Ridge with her mother since late last year and was known to walk around the local area with her white dog, Sooky. Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and Central North Police District have established Strike Force Bullarook to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, said strike force investigators are urging anyone in the community that may have information about Christine’s movements on Wednesday to come forward. “Police are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who had contact with or saw Christine in the 24 hours before her body was located,” Detective Superintendent Doherty said.
Suspicious house fire POLICE are investigating a suspicious house fire in the state’s north-west last week. About midnight on Wednesday (15 January 2020), emergency services were called to a home on Terangion Street, Nyngan after reports of a fire. Fire and Rescue NSW attended and extinguished the blaze that had partially destroyed the home. Officers attached to Central North Police District established a crime scene and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fire which has been deemed suspicious. No injuries were reported, and evacuations were not necessary.
Nyngan stranger danger POLICE are appealing for information after a child was allegedly approached by a man in the state’s north-west last week. On the morning of January 17, a nine-year-old girl was riding her scooter in Derribong Street when a vehicle stopped nearby and the male driver called out to the child, saying “get in the car”. The girl ran to a friend’s house nearby, and police were notified. The man is described as being in his 60s, medium build with short thick black and grey hair with a dark complexion. The vehicle was described as being a hatchback in poor condition with a loud engine/exhaust. Police are appealing for public assistance and urge anyone with information or any motorists who may have dash cam vision and were in the area on Friday night to contact Nyngan Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Hay fraud NSW Police’s Rural Crime Investigators have established Strike Force Woden to investigate reports of a fraud currently targeting farmers from drought-stricken communities across NSW. Police have received numerous reports of a person advertising hay bales on social media for a discounted price. In each of the cases, the seller has taken an initial deposit for the fodder but has not delivered any product. The fraud is not isolated to a specific area and a number of people have lost money as a result of the scam according to Dubbo based NSW Police Force State Rural Crime Coordinator Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside. He’s urging farmers and landholders to take extra care when purchasing fodder, water and other supplies to get them through the drought. “These are difficult times, and
IT’S great to see the NRMA putting out a road safety warning prior to the Australia Day long weekend, a time which pretty much coincides with the end of the summer school holidays. We remind motorists in NSW and the ACT to drive safely and to remember that double demerits are in place for four days over the Australia Day long weekend. Double demerits start on Friday, January 24 and run through to Monday, January 27 (inclusive). The double demerit points period applies from midnight of the start date to midnight on the finish date. Double demerit points apply for speeding, seat belt, motorcycle helmet and mobile phone offences during all holiday periods such as long weekends, Christmas, New Year and Easter. Drivers caught using their phones during a double demerit period can expect to be hit with the fine as well as up to 10 demerits.
Fire breaks IF you’re looking to plan a road trip or quick break, NSW Police are urging people across the state to visit businesses within the Southern Highlands after bushfires burnt through the region late last year. Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, said tourism was one of the best ways to promote economic recovery and revive small businesses. “After the horror bushfire season we’ve had, it’s been heart-warming to see the outpouring of community support and donations,” Mr Elliot said. “But the best thing you can do to support a bushfire-affected town is show up with an empty stomach and a full wallet. “The Southern Highlands has long been a favourite for traditional day trippers and motoring enthusiasts and I encourage everyone to go inject some cash into the local economy, sample a few pies and thank the local emergency services.” State Emergency Operations Controller, Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys, said much-needed tourism could help businesses get back on their feet following the fires. “This area was hit hard by recent bushfires and now that the threat has abated, we want to see people come together and spend some cash to help kick-start the local economy,” Deputy Commissioner Worboys said. “Plan a day trip with friends and family and see the sights but remember to drive to the conditions and obey the road rules. “We are also reminding visitors to observe any road closures and respect the privacy of those who have lost homes by avoiding fire-affected areas,” he said. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Get a Wiggle on with First Aid training
Oval car park to close for four months
By LYDIA PEDRANA THE device used to save the life of original Yellow Wiggle Greg Page last week is the same model of the 140 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) that have been installed around the Dubbo region. Mr Page, 48, collapsed onstage during a Wiggles bushfire benefit concert at Castle Hill RSL, suffering a cardiac arrest. A 23-year-old nurse was in the audience and saved him by performing CPR and using the club’s defibrillator. Local Red Cross first aid trainer George Chapman was the brains behind strategically placing 140 machines around Dubbo, Wellington and surrounding villages,
and said the recent “Wiggles incident” is a good reminder for people to know how to do CPR and use an AED. “All you have to do is turn it on and then listen to what it tells you,” Mr Chapman told Dubbo Photo News. “Just do as you’re told. As I often say to students, just for once in your life, do as you’re told.” Just two weeks ago, one of the AED machines Mr Chapman installed was used to assist a woman who collapsed in Dubbo department store Myer. This incident comes after a man in is 40s was brought back to life with the AED at the McGrath cricket field last May.

DUSTING OFF SOME MEMORIES OF STORMS PAST By JOHN RYAN VERY few people had a camera handy back in early 1983 when a massive dust storm rolled over Dubbo but Brenda Cremin well remembers the day when she went searching for her trusty Box Brownie. Living on Mugga Hill with a great outlook over the city and to the northwest, Mrs Cremin said it was an incredible sight. “I looked out over the paddock and this great big mass of dust was just rolling in and in front of it, the sky was blue and clear as a bell. I’ll never forget it. “(The camera) was a little old Box Brownie, I’ve never been a keen photographer but I must have been that day.” She still lives in the same place and took plenty of pictures of this week’s sky-high dust front as it enveloped the town. Her daughter, Annette Ferguson, says she’s glad her mum took the pictures because she’ll never forget the towering dust as it rolled over the city and headed straight for her. “I actually remember that day clearly because I was out in the paddock painting my horse jumps white. I turned around and there was this dust rolling in, towards my wet white paint,” Ms Ferguson said. “I was painting 44-gallon

drums and logs that you put on the drums to make the jumps for the horses. I had a big can of white paint open and I turned around and there was this big dust storm behind me. “One neighbour was laughing at me, thinking how crazy I was out in the paddock, painting with white paint. He got a good laugh out of that,” she recalls. The family had only moved out of town a couple of years prior to
DUBBO’S historic cycle track, which has produced international, national (as recent as last week) and state cycling champions for more than 100 years – including the nation’s first ever world champion in any sport, Bob Spears – will be removed from No.1 oval’s perimeter. The existing turf at No.1 will also be removed and reused at the new Dubbo Regional Cycling facility in north Dubbo at the encouragement of the Dubbo Cycle Club. A new sand-based playing surface at Victoria No.1 oval will assist Dubbo Regional Council in bidding for major sporting events at Victoria Park. “Redevelopment of Victoria Park is part of the largest capital investment in decades that is driving confidence in the future of the Dubbo Region,” DRC CEO Michael McMahon said. Victoria Park No 1 Oval precinct car park will close from February 3, 2020, for an estimated four months. Alternative parking is available in the Victoria Park No 2 and No 3 oval surrounds and sealed areas surrounding the oval.
that dust storm but Ms Ferguson said that, as a 15-year-old, she’d never seen anything like it. “There are very few photos from that dust storm. My mother must have run in and found the camera and taken the photos and then we would’ve had to wait, I don’t know, weeks to get the film developed. You used to have to use up the whole roll of film before you could get it developed,” Mrs Ferguson said.
“I knew these photos were somewhere so I went looking and found them in a drawer – I don’t remember when they were taken or printed. “It was quite a big dust storm as you see in the photos, probably equivalent to what happened this week, interesting memories and people have commented that you don’t see these sorts of photos of events from back then,” she said.
The most recent holder of the Guinness World Record for world’s shortest man, Khagendra Thapa Magar, died earlier this month. Khagendra, who was born on October 14, 1992, stood at 67.08cm tall when measured at Fewa City Hospital in Pohkara, Nepal, on his 18th birthday in 2010. Khagendra was born in the Baglung district of Nepal, the eldest son of Roop Bahadur and Dhan Maya. His father recalled, “He was so tiny when he was born that he could fit in the palm of your hand, and it was very hard to bathe him because he was so small.”

TIME WARP
Mystery photo found on top of old wardrobe By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY A LOCAL resident dropped this photo into Dubbo Photo News on behalf of a friend, Paul Harris, in the hope a reader might recognise the people pictured. The fashions suggest it’s a 1920s-something image, so perhaps around 100 years old. The two children pictured appear to be wearing school uniforms. Do you recognise the school or any of the people photographed? The names handwritten on the back appear to say, “Ciss and Dan (or Nan), Jackie and Stan. Taken near the Hawkesbury (?)”. The old photo was recently found on the top of a cupboard in a house on a property outside Dubbo, however that house was moved there from Erskine Street about 20 years ago and may be a clue. If you have any information, please let us know.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.
The good news is there’s lots of good news Compiled by JOHN RYAN LAST week we brought you a collection of “good news” stories and positive things that are happening around the globe. With all the heartache and grim news we’ve been hearing over past months and weeks, including the tragedy of ongoing drought and the devastation of bushfires, JOHN RYAN went looking for some light to shine on the dark and found a list compiled by Future Crunch, a group of positive professional people who are working towards making the world a better place to live in the 21st Century. This week, in the second of a two-part series, we happily present the remaining 50 of Future Crunch’s Top 100 good news stories. JUST to recap: Future Crunch is a group of scientists, artists, technologists and entrepreneurs who think there are new and better ways of doing things in the 21st century. The group points to incredible things that are happening on planet Earth, from diseases being eradicated, wars decreasing, millions of people being lifted out of poverty and billions gaining access to the greatest information resource humanity has ever known. But Future Crunch says we’re not hearing a lot about it: At Future Crunch, we understand that science and technology are bringing about a world that is more peaceful, transparent and abundant. We’re determined to share that story. Our expertise ranges from politics, biology and economics, to design, poetry, art and music. We use our diverse knowledge to provide unexpected perspectives on what the future looks like. Our mission is to foster intelligent, optimistic thinking about the future, and to empower people to contribute to it. Future Crunch is keen to see media outlets such as Dubbo Photo News spread the abundant good news to provide a counter narrative to the predominantly negative world view seen by most people. Last week we presented the first 50 from a list of 100 good news stories – here’s the remaining 50: 51. A new report on the social performance of 149 countries in the past five years, using indicators like nutrition, shelter, safety, education, health, rights and inclusiveness, said that only four countries have regressed overall since 2014. 52. Since 2000, the number of democracies has risen from 90 to 97, including 11 countries that became democratic for the first time ever. 53. A new survey across 167 countries said that tolerance towards LGBTQIA+ people has risen in almost every region of the world in the past decade. 54. The number of people killed
in wars around the world reached its lowest level in seven years, and battle fatalities have fallen by 43 per cent since 2014. 55. Indonesia lifted the minimum legal age for marriage from 16 to 19, Mozambique made child marriage punishable by 12 years in prison, Mexico banned it in 31 out of 32 states, and a new UN report said that in South Asia the practice has almost halved in the past 25 years. 56. Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalize same sex marriage. 57. The number of people incarcerated in American prisons declined again, to 1.48 million people (down from 1.61 million in 2009) and California banned the operation of private prisons – finally removing the profit motive from incarceration. 58. The 2019 Global Terrorism Index revealed that deaths from terrorism decreased by 15.2 per cent last year, the fourth consecutive year of improvement. The overall number of terror attacks fell by a third and deaths halved. 59. This year Saudi Arabia granted women the right to travel overseas, register births, marriage and divorce, receive family documents be eligible as guardians to minors, and congregate in the same places as men. 60. A new study covering 90 per cent of the world’s population showed that the international
homicide rate has dropped by 20 per cent since 1990. 61. In 2019, Northern Ireland officially legalised the right of women to decide what to do with their own bodies, and the right of people to love and marry anyone they choose. 62. Five countries – France, Kosovo, South Africa, Georgia and Scotland – banned corporal punishment, bringing the total number to 58. 63. The World Health Organisation removed “gender identity disorder” from its list of mental illnesses. 64. The biggest ever US survey of attitudes towards sexuality, race, skin tone, age, disability and body weight showed that Americans have become more tolerant since 2007. 65. Sudan’s dictatorship was overthrown after months of protests in 2019. Its leaders signed a landmark deal for transition to civilian government and also repealed a series of laws used to regulate women’s behaviour under the former president.
66. India and Pakistan opened a peace corridor on their border, allowing Sikhs to visit their second holiest site, the shrines dedicated to Guru Nanak, for the first time in 72 years. 67. Global executions fell by almost a third last year, reaching their lowest figure in at least a decade. 68. German labour officials said that refugees were integrating into the job market far more quickly than expected, with around 400,000 people of working age now employed. 69. Kenya’s High Court ruled that rape survivors have the right to an abortion, a landmark ruling in a country where women still do not have the right to choose. 70. Abortion became legal in every state in Australia, Oaxaca became become the second state in Mexico to give women autonomy over their own bodies and in the United States, abortion rates reached their lowest level since Roe vs. Wade in 1973. 71. Research from UCLA showed that an estimated 10,000 LGBTQIA+ teens in the US have been protected from conversion therapy in states that have banned the practice since 2012. 72. Botswana decriminalised homosexuality and Angola decriminalised same-sex conduct. 73. India’s parliament approved a bill that criminalises the practice of “triple talaq” which allows a husband to divorce his wife by repeating the word “talaq” three times. 74. The FBI said violent crime in the US fell again last year, now half as high as it was in 1991. Young people are now six times less likely to be victims of violent crime than they were in the mid 1990s. 75. A majority in Brazil’s Supreme Court voted in favour of criminalising homophobia and transphobia in 2019. 76. The world’s largest multilateral financial institution, The European Investment Bank, agreed to stop all financing for fossil fuels, and committed to investing half of its entire annual outlay on climate action and sustainability by 2025. 77. T h e US Environmental Protection Agency banned 12 products containing neonicotinoids, a pesticide that is dangerous for bees. 78. Air pollution in Delhi has dropped by 25 per cent, in Beijing, air pollutants fell to their lowest level ever recorded, in Madrid a ban on vehicles in the city centre reduced levels of nitric oxide by 38 per cent, and in London pollution fell by a third inside a new low emissions zone that was launched at the beginning of the year. 79. Electricity generation
PART 2 from coal power stations fell by around 3 per cent this year, the largest drop on record, and 42 per cent of the world’s coal fleet is now losing money. 80. The European Union experienced an unprecedented 19 per cent year-on-year decline in coal-
fired power generation in the first half of 2019. 81. Coal had a particularly bad year in the United States – shipments fell to their lowest level since 1983 and eight companies went bankrupt, including Murray Energy, the country’s largest private coal company. 82. Clean energy jobs grew by 3.6 per cent in the US last year, adding 110,000 net new jobs, and the dramatic reduction of coal in the country’s energy mix has reduced deaths from air pollution and has cut the cost of damages by more than $200 billion. 83. Ten of the world’s top 35 insurance companies withdrew their cover for coal projects in 2019, bringing the global total to 17, leaving only Lloyd’s of London and Asian insurers as the “last resort” for fossil fuels. 84. The world’s largest car supplier, Bosch, said it will be fully carbon neutral by 2020, making it the first major industrial company to take that step. 85. The largest retail company in the world announced this year that it will run entirely on renewable energy by 2030 and will be fully carbon neutral by 2040. 86. Repsol, Spain’s largest oil and gas company, wrote down $5 billion in assets and became the world’s first major oil producer to commit to complete decarbonisation. BP wrote down $2.6 billion, and Chevron, the second-largest US oil company, wrote down the value of its assets by more than $10 billion, the largest energy-industry write-down in years. 87. Lazard, the industry’s benchmark, says that the cost of new wind and solar in 2019 dropped below the cost of keeping many of the world’s existing coal and nuclear power plants running. 88. New Zealand passed a bill to reach zero carbon by 2050, committed to planting a billion trees in the next decade, and said it would run its grid entirely from clean energy by 2035. 89. Chile reached its 2025 clean
energy targets six years ahead of schedule, and along with eight other Latin American countries set a collective target of 70 per cent renewable energy use by 2030. 90. The UK, the world’s sixth largest economy, generated more electricity from wind, sun, water and biomass in the third quarter of the year than from coal, oil and gas. 91. California, the world’s fifth largest economy, reached its 33 per cent clean energy target two years ahead of schedule, and fuel sales for cars are officially decreasing. 92. Germany, the world’s fourth largest economy, generated more electricity from wind, sun, water and biomass in the first six months of 2019 than from coal and nuclear. 93. The world’s second largest economy, the US, generated more electricity from wind, sun and water in April than from coal for the first time ever. 94. Average price for battery packs fell to $156/kWh in 2019, an 87 per cent drop compared with 2010. 95. Automakers finally put money on the table, collectively committing $225 billion for electric vehicles in the next five years. Volkswagen, the largest car manufacturer in the world, announced a $44 billion “electric offensive” and a promise to abandon the development of all new fossil fuel vehicles by 2026 96. It looks like the world may soon hit peak beef. The compound annual growth rate over the past decade was just 0.11 per cent, production in Europe is now 26 per cent below its peak level in 1991, and in Canada and Argentina beef production has fallen 41 per cent and 16 per cent from the mid2000s, according to Bloomberg. 97. In March, the European Union announced that plastic cutlery, plates, straws, cotton buds, balloons, food containers and polystyrene cups would no longer be allowed by 2021, and the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, home to 80 million people, imposed a full ban on all single-use plastic. 98. In June, Canada followed in the EU’s footsteps, announcing a similar phase out of plastic by 2021, Tanzania implemented a plastic ban, Costa Rica signed a new law bringing an end to all Styrofoam containers and packaging, Bali’s plastic ban went into effect and Panama became the first Central American nation to ban plastic bags. 99. Thailand announced in November that it would phase out microbeads, cap seals and oxo-degradable plastics by the end of the year, and will ban all plastic bags, cups, straws and Styrofoam by 2022. 100.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS
Disaster recovery could benefit from volunteer “strikeforce” The Editor, The current national disaster of the bushfires is receiving much coverage in our media, bringing the extent of the crisis into the homes of those not directly affected. While those unaffected watch in horror at the images, we can only imagine what the horror must be like for those fellow Australians who are living it. Many of us sit in the comfort of our homes watching and wondering if there is anything we can do to help. There are many fundraising appeals to which we can donate but not all of us can afford to do so. Like most Australians, I am not a trained “firie” and therefore cannot and should not venture into the danger zone. The various fire fighting agencies are doing their best to prevent the loss of life and extent of damage to property – thank you so much! Once the fires are over however, there will be a need to act quickly to aid the recovery of areas affected. All those directly affected
will have different needs to get back on their feet. Perhaps this is where those of us unqualified to fight fires but with other practical skills can be of best assistance and benefit to those directly affected. What I am suggesting is a national disaster recovery volunteer strikeforce to help individuals and communities undertake tasks, big and small, to help give these affected people and their communities the basis on which to rebuild for their future. To use the old cliché, I’m sure they are not looking for a hand out but I’m sure they would appreciate a hand up. Volunteers (assisting) paid professionals can help bring about this recovery faster and more economically. Australia has a very large group of people who perhaps, like me, have the skills and time that could help speed up the recovery process. Whether these people are young or older doesn’t matter as long as they are motivated enough to assist. I have searched for organisations that may be already co-ordinating such activities but have
not found any that marry those in need of help with those who can and are happy to help. As we move into the “recovery” mode of this disaster we are going to need more people on the ground who can help out whether it be cleaning up the debris, repairing fences or just holding the other end of a tape measure and talking with those coming to terms with their loss. Groups representing “grey nomads” and service clubs could help through their membership by marrying up with groups who have access to a database of those needing/wanting help. I’m sure there are many organisations that can be approached to develop a database from which needs can be assessed then met. The volunteer strikeforce member would provide details of their skills, preferred areas they could get to, their accommodation needs (or if they can bring their own), time available and other helpful requirements. On the other side, those needing help could provide details online or at their local community centre
indicating their needs to help with their recovery. The other unknown immeasurable benefit, one that is probably more important, is that there would be someone from outside just to talk with. Mental health will play a big part in helping people get back on their feet. It doesn’t matter who, how or what started the fires, it’s how we now pull together to recover and help our fellow Australians put their lives and their livelihoods back together.
With Australia Day just around the corner, perhaps we should be asking ourselves, “What can I do to help my fellow Australians in their time of need?” Graham Nuttall, Brisbane HAVE YOUR SAY ❱❱ feedback@ dubbophotonews.com.au or 89 Wingewarra St, Dubbo 2830 ❱❱

Governments fiddle while environment burns or blows away John Ryan ❚ OPINION I BLAME the current state government for the appallingly degraded state of our farmland and rivers, but it’s not just this current mob that needs to be taken to task. State and federal governments for decades have got it incredibly wrong when it comes to Natural Resource Management (NRM) issues, and that’s led to an insidious hollowing out of regional Australia. For decades the bush has been neglected and the state of our landscapes even more so. As long as the governments were seeing export income generated from our dwindling number of farmers, who cared that smaller towns were being decimated by corporations aggregating multiple family farms and running them with a manager and a few offsiders. That’s meant fewer people in these towns, fewer kids at school, less spent at local businesses. The landscape side of things has been even more neglected and swept under a carpet that’s rapidly been covered with dust. NRM – looking after our soil and waterways – is complex and can’t be summed up in a headline or a 90-second TV news story, and when these issues are raised they’re discussed in the main under a prism of party politics – you’re either a climate denier or not, a greenie or not, a Scott Morrison supporter or not. The debate is governed by so much emotion that we can’t actually have a proper, rational debate as a nation, and that allows governments and the bureaucrats who advise them to put things on the backburner.
They only have to convince the 10 per cent of swinging voters at the next election and... hey presto! They have a 50 per cent chance of always being in government anyway. Plus, politicians still get paid when they’re in opposition, and the bureaucrats get paid any which way, so they have the least to lose through any poor public policy settings they devise. Managing landscapes is an issue that’s so tangled up with current seasonal conditions, droughts floods, shortages of hay, last-minute storms crippling wheat harvests and so on, that the longterm nature of the problem, where we’re buggering things up so much there’s no resilience left in the system, goes largely unnoticed. That is, until that backburner turns into this catastrophic fire season and the rivers in the eastern states start running dry. It doesn’t have to be this way. There are so many success stories from which politicians and their departments can learn. Governments need to set the budget so farmers and other landholders are paid for proper stewardship of their country. I’m not talking about the ridiculous Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) where a lucky few farmers won the lotto simply by not clearing scrubby regrowth that wasn’t economical to cut down anyway.
I’m talking about being rewarded for keeping 100 per cent ground cover on the land 100 per cent of the time. That would stop what’s left of our national fertility ending up on glaciers across the Tasman, blown by giant dust storms that seemingly have no end. Farmers who’ve moved to controlled grazing, where they don’t set-stock like all our grand-daddies did, are seeing improved productivity and profitability, but there needs to be a cash incentive to convert farmers to these methods far more quickly. When it comes to cropping, and despite government boasts that we’re the most innovative farming nation in the world, we’re at least 20 years behind the USA. While facilities like Trangie Ag All we need the ricultural Research Station are dying a slow death and contributing government to do is nothing to current farming needs, look at the farmers and US farmers are finding that having graziers who have done multiple species of plants in their well during this drought paddocks year ‘round, and sowing and assist other farmers their crops into them, has slashed to replicate what they’re the need for chemical inputs. doing. We don’t need any This means farmers don’t have to spend so much of their monnew, expensive science, modelling and reports... ey with the world’s few massive chemical and fertiliser manufac-

turers, so their costs, and financial risks, come way down. That not only makes them more financially resilient, it also means the poisons from degraded farm land won’t be rushing into our almost dry rivers every time there are localised falls. The picture reproduced here of the Bell River shows what happens when the landscape has been denuded of ground cover, and there’s only remnant vegetation to filter run-off when there are sharp, localised falls. All that run-off is soil heavily laden with toxic nutrients such as nitrogen, which our current chemical-industrial farming methods depend on so heavily. I’m not knocking farmers. I grew up on the land and was wiped out in the 1982 drought. I know firsthand how tough it is to see your crops decimated by three 46-degree days of relentless hot northerly winds. But when that happened, I knew I had to work to create positive change because I realised I must have been doing things wrong, and believe me, all the answers we need are sitting right in front of us. All we need the government to do is look at the farmers and graziers who have done well during
this drought and assist other farmers to replicate what they’re doing. We don’t need any new, expensive science, modelling and reports. It’s a huge risk to up and change the farming practises you’ve used for years and because this will benefit everyone, taxpayer dollars should be used to help. That’s much better than waiting for these disasters to occur and then throwing billions away just to prop people up. It’ll just happen again, and we’ll do the same stupid things again. Let’s put some real money into helping farmers rehydrate the landscape and move away from high-cost, high-risk farming, into a lower-risk national strategy where agriculture has a far softer footprint on the planet. Check out this aerial photograph taken by Dan Compton from Wings out West as he flew over the Bell Junction last weekend. That poisonous brown sludge flowing from the Bell River into the Macquarie isn’t natural, and it shouldn’t be regarded as such. Before we started stuffing so many things up, that could never have happened. That’s why so many millions of native fish are being wiped out. This drought has just shown us how fragile our environment really is. Note: John Ryan is also a councillor on Dubbo Regional Council, and is also employed part-time by Landcare.

Let’s get physical: Exciting new year for physie Contributed by MARGARET LYNCH ORANA Physical Culture has extended a very warm welcome to its returning teachers as the club launches excitedly into another year of “physie”. As a not-for-profit club, it enjoys the wonderful support of a large membership and appreciates the significant number of volunteer hours given by its connected community. The teaching cohort of Holly Jameson, Kristy Hubbard, Jaimee Shuttle, Rhiannon Malouf, Sarah Lucan and Sarah Campbell is looking forward to receiving the new choreography and soundtracks to this year’s syllabus. Fun, upbeat, contemporary music is a strong feature of this dance sport that fuses jazz, ballet, hip-hop, aerobic dance and even a little yoga. The beginning of the new decade brings Physical Culture into its 128th year. There are now clubs in Bali and London as well as a very strong presence in Australia. It is not uncommon for grandmothers, mothers, daugh-

THE Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie has accepted a generous donation from the NSW Central West Muslims Association and the Dubbo Bangladesh community, which will go towards assisting bushfire related projects across Rotary District 9670. Rotarian Shibli Chowdhury was accompanied by representatives from the two local multicultural groups in presenting the $2300 donation to his own Rotary club last week. Rotary’s Assistant District Governor, Steve Cowley, said the donation would be divided between the District 9670 Fire Fund and the Rotary Club of Rylstone, which has been involved with providing catering support to the Rural Fire Service (RFS) Fire Control Base, operating in the town since Boxing Day. Mr Chowdhury said he was honoured to be able to facilitate the gesture as a proud member not only of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie and the global organisation of Rotary, but also of the multicultural community of Dubbo. “The Bangladesh community in Dubbo has worked hard to form relationships and bonds within the wider community and has made strong links through being involved with sporting groups and multicultural programs. “We believe it is important to be

available. The affordability of the sport helps open the door of accessibility to all with Orana Physical Culture a registered provider of the NSW Government Active and Creative Kids Vouchers. Continued support from a number of local organisations and businesses also underpins the affordability. In addition, Orana Physical Culture has recently been nominated as a beneficiary of the Localsearch Little Legends Program. The threeyear sponsorship is greatly welcomed and the club is confident of investing the funds for the stated purpose of keeping local kids “happy, healthy and active”. Two free trial lessons are available to prospective members. Registration being at St Mary’s School Hall from 2-4 pm on February 1. The club welcomes enquiries through the Orana Physical Culture Facebook page or oranaphysicalculture@outlook.com. The club is passionate about serving the local community, knowing this dance sport promotes an active and healthy lifestyle.
part of our local community, and we also believe that when our community of Australia is in crisis, we must all work together to help each other.” He said the donation was a “gesture of our support for our fellow Australians”, adding that while many members of the Bangladesh community had also donated through online appeals, the group was keen to do something specifically for its own regional community. “I am a proud Rotarian and I know that Rotary is a well-respected organisation that does really good work not only in our local community but all around the world,” Mr Chowdhury said. “Rotary has a fantastic history of building relationships, and that’s what we in the Bangladesh community want to do as well.” The NSW Central West Muslims Association is based in Dubbo and also works hard to establish relationships in the local community. Mr Chowdhury said that, like the Bangladesh community, the association had raised money through their members to support the communities affected by devastating bushfires. “We all feel it is our duty to stand up for Australia, and do our best to help our fellow Australians in this hard time.”

Dust buster Your images from a week of wild weather THE media coverage and photographic opportunities were almost as gargantuan as the dust storm itself! As devastating as the reason behind the huge cloud of droughtborne dust is, it certainly made for a great deal of conversation this week, and perhaps in a perverse way, has helped us out here in regional NSW to remind our city cousins that despite patchy falls of
rain across the state, the drought is far from over. Dubbo Photo News has been inundated with images from our readers keen to share their vision of such a memorable moment, and we thank you all for taking the time to send them in. Here’s just a small selection of those photographs, including some of the wild weather leading up to Sunday’s tsunami of red dust.
Above and below: Dale Wallace captured these images as the monster storm crested the horizon and blanketed the city in red dust on Sunday evening.
A taste of things to come: Leanne Clarke sent these images of the dust storm that rolled in over her property at Geurie on Thursday, January 16 – its big sister followed three days later!

That’s one big haboob Local photography enthusiast, Coady Lomonaco, sent us this photo of “an apocalyptic haboob dust storm” taken from the top of the full pipe at the Dubbo skatepark moments before it consumed the town in complete darkness. According to a quick consultation with Professor Google, a haboob is a type of intense dust storm carried on an atmospheric gravity current, also known as a weather front. Haboobs occur regularly in dry land area regions throughout the world. Thanks for the incredible shot, Coady!
Thanks to Veronica Morgan who sent us these pictures of Sunday night’s storm as it made its way in from the west, cloaking the sky first in red then black as the dust turned day into night.
Young Levi had a stunning backdrop for his Thursday afternoon walk with Mum Ruth Clarke, who captured these remarkable images of the menacing black storm gathering on the horizon.

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.

Batlow bushfire hero qualifies for nationals Ducks in
a row on Narromine pond
Continued from page 54
Ironically, the pair actually drove through a couple of big storms. Jack ran two minutes flat in the 800m on Friday and backed up in sensational fashion on Sunday to bring the large crowd to its feet as he battled fatigue and choking lungs to obtain his second qualification time. “That was crazy after everything we’ve been through,” said Jack, who has been fighting fires and unable to do any track work since mid-December. The Dunn’s Road fire started a month ago about 20km or so from Batlow and his family’s home and at the time of writing, was still going. “The last time I had a hard session was on Christmas Day when I ran 3km. I did a couple of slow 200s earlier this week but that’s it. With all the smoke about and so much to do around the place, I didn’t have any opportunity. I am so grateful that Dad brought us out here for the titles.” Indeed, Jack’s father had some sage advice for his sons. “Dad told us to just go out, have fun and “blow some crap out of your system”. (He said) “Put a bit of pressure on your lungs and just try to blow it all out!”.” The middle-distance runner with a level head has his sights set on a podium finish at the upcoming nationals. “I’ve run fourth three years in a row. Each year the margin’s grown shorter. Three years ago I was within a second of gaining a medal; two years ago, I missed out by 0.8 of a second and last year it was just 0.33, so this year if I finish fourth by about 10 milliseconds I’ll know it’s rigged,” Jack laughed. Recalling the events of the past month, Jack became very emotional. “Batlow was cut off so my dad drove down to Tumut. There were more than two hundred dead cattle along the way. It was really confronting to see their swollen carcasses. It was terrible. “We were able to protect our home and family business and

helped with my girlfriend’s parents and other places in our town but sadly, we couldn’t save every property,” the mature young man reflected. The story of the Batlow bushfire battler also has a local touch. “I’ve been very lucky to have Lisa Corrigan as my coach. She grew up in Canowindra so has a real feel for athletes from small towns. She’s represented Australia at every level from youth to the Olympics and Commonwealth Games so I do have one of the best in the business,” Jack managed to say between deep breaths at the end of the 400m. Lisa’s pedigree is impeccable. The Canowindra flyer was Australian champion over 800m and 1500m numerous times and showed her versatility when she won many races on the road. Lisa raced at the Beijing Olympics and was on the cusp of selection for London in 2012 before she ruptured her Achilles tendon. She retired a year later. Jack says he was spotted by the champion when he attended a cross country super clinic run by Athletics NSW. “Lisa was employed as a development officer. I was 11 years old and wasn’t even meant to be there. It was for elite runners and I hadn’t even won regionals but I saw a flyer at school and my teacher encouraged me to go,” he puffed. “I got absolutely flogged in the trials! I was so far behind that Lisa ran with me while the coaches worked with the others. I think she felt sorry for me!” Lisa obviously recognised Jack’s

raw talent and determination. “She must have seen something because she asked my dad if she could go for another run with me. She said I had a nice style and she’s been coaching me ever since.” Jack couldn’t wait to get on the phone to let her know he had claimed two gold medals. He was just as excited about Riley’s silver in the 200m which brought smiles to the whole family. Despite the threat having

THE Dubbo Vets waddled west on Sunday for their last hit-out in “the big pool” ahead of the Western Districts AIF Championships in Cobar. Sixteen swimmers accepted the challenge in perfect conditions with 33m, 50m and 100m events. One notable absentee was Ducks’ Life member and Publicity officer, Judy Walsh. “Mum has been in a secret training camp at Foster. Nobody told her freshwater Ducks don’t belong in the salt but she is such a trouper, she said she’d do it anyway. The fresh coastal air and some sun and sand might be just the pick-up after a couple of weeks battling ill health,” Secretary Linda Walsh said.

It’s weird because it hardly touched the inner part.” Jack is philosophical about the new “ash-phalt track” he’ll have to get used to. “The Kenyans always run on dirt,” he laughed loudly.

SPEEDWAY
Michael Harland Bendy 1500 Club pays tribute to lost mate By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL GILGANDRA Speedway hosted the second Michael Harland Fender Bender in memory of a young man who dedicated his life to the club on the Newell Highway. Michael lost a battle with cancer in 2018 but his legacy lives on through brother Brian and the extended Gil Speedway family. Matt Cobb became the second Gunnedah driver to salute in the prestigious event following Scott Riley being the last man standing in 2019. It was a genuine reflection of the camaraderie between the two clubs, just over 90 minutes apart. “Michael Harland was a tremendous fellow who followed his father into the speedway. The club wouldn’t have existed if it wasn’t for their drive and the work of the Holland and Eastman families and
the late Roy Semmler,” according to 2WAR presenter John Milsom. The local FM station staff provided the call of the race and trackside interviews for what club secretary Loise Holland described as a good crowd, given the conditions. “On Thursday we had deep pools filling the corners but then, as it’s done all summer, the winds blew dust and the track was perfect for racing once the gates opened.” However, numbers were down with some drivers still fighting fires and others caught in the floods. “Some people made the decision not to come when the weather was so unpredictable, but it was a fantastic night of racing just the same,” Louise said. The Speedway comes to life again on February 15 for the Australian Street Stockers Championships.

Quality athletes at Barden Park Saturday

Mudgee dynamo Alesha Bennetts who has qualified for three Nationals events
By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL MORE than 500 athletes, ranging in age from eight to 80, competed over three days at Dubbo’s world class athletics complex. “We had two Paralympians, Australian 400m World Championship relay squad member Tyler Gunn, the son of Australia’s fastest quarter-miler Darren Clark, and a world masters champion or two. It was a massively talented pool for lovers of track and field,” ecstatic Athletics NSW Event Coordinator James Constantine reflected on Sunday afternoon. Another local on hand was Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist Katrina Gibbs, wearing her heart on her sleeve for her home club. Katrina is a highly credentialed Athletics Australia and NSW coach and administrator. “This is a far cry from the early days of athletics on grass at Victoria Park and Barden Park. The track and field facilities are up there with the best in the nation,” she stated with no discernable bias. Local coaches were delighted with the performances of those under their tutelage. “We have plenty of talented runners and highly skilled field athletes here in the west. Many of our Dubbo club members train with kids from Mudgee and other clubs so it’s fantastic to see them achieve personal goals,” Dubbo coach Mark Penman smiled. In fact, there were plenty of state and national qualifying times set, including by the middle-distance “smiling assassin”, Ella Penman, hurdlers Maya Piras, Millie Gooch and Joya Bennetts (Mudgee), as well as sprinters Millie Sutcliffe (13s), Brooke Galley (20s) and Alesha Bennetts. Paralympic contender Alexandria Eves was another standout in the 100m and 200m, and country athletics legend and multiple Commonwealth, Paralympic and world games competitor, William Vince-Moin from Armidale. “Everyone looks up to Will. He is an inspiration and competes in every single event,” James added. The event ran smoothly despite a slight delay late on Friday when the
dust blew and James and fellow NSW representatives were rapt in the carnival. “It is a credit to everyone who came to this event, especially at a time when so many people from right across the state are dealing with seasonal challenges,” James remarked. Officials were also full of praise for the intrepid band of volunteers from many sectors of the community including Newtown Soccer Club, Dubbo Tri and members of the Park Run and Relay For Life, as well as parents and supporters of the local athletes. “This was a wonderful event for all those involved. The hospitality of the western community and Dubbo in particular deserves nothing but the highest praise. Everyone from the north coast to Armidale, from Batlow to the Central Coast and all the western clubs like Bathurst, Orange, Parkes Forbes and Mudgee are heading home with smiles on their faces,” James concluded. For a full wrap of results go to the NSW or Dubbo Athletics Club sites. The next major event is in early February with the Western Districts Championships.
