MUD MAYHEM

HUNDREDS of people from far and wide are preparing for the muddiest Saturday of their lives. The Titan Macquarie Mud Run is on again, with young and old, ﬁt and not-so-ﬁt, doing battle in the trenches

along the Macquarie River in the heart of Dubbo on March 27. If you haven’t signed up yet, or you’ve never relived your childhood, there’s still time to book a ticket. Whoop Whoop! Pictured are, back row, left to right,

PERFECT STORM TIMBER SHORTAGE: 25 per cent of Dubbo’s jobs could go By JOHN RYAN TIMBER shortages have become so acute that Dubbo’s unprecedent residential construction boom is balanced on a knife edge as builders struggle to find house frames and trusses to keep projects on the go. If timber isn’t available for house frames, not only do the frame makers shut down but also builders, carpenters, concreters, electricians,

plumbers, gyprockers, local building supply businesses and many others follow on from that, according to locals in the building industry who spoke to Dubbo Photo News. Local Builder Nigel Bourke is flat out building for Maas Homes and said the compounding crises in the construction supply chain was forming into a perfect storm. Bushfires destroyed much of the coastal timber sup-

plies, COVID stimulus packages in America coupled with the strong US dollar was seeing imports head to those higher prices, and goslow industrial action on the Australian waterfront is preventing timber-laden ships from docking and unloading. “The knock-on effect is everything, if the frame and truss suppliers stop, everything stops,” Mr Bourke told Dubbo Photo News.

BRIDGE DEBATE SET FOR PARLIAMENT PAGE 6

“Everything is really hard to get at the moment. The government’s grants are awesome but it’s fuelling demand just when the supply chains are struggling.” Bettaframe and Truss owner Phil Lawrence couldn’t agree more, he says the situation is dire with some Sydney timber yards left without a single stick of wood onsite.

Won from the bush BUY From The Bush founder Grace Brennan has been named NSW Regional Woman of the Year at an awards’ ceremony in Sydney. The mother of four, who devised the campaign during the recent drought while pregnant with her fourth child, has seen her bush marketing result in millions of dollars flowing from metro areas into small regional businesses. “It’s important to support women in NSW – particularly in rural communities – because in doing so, you are fostering small business, innovation and job creation,” Ms Brennan said. “Women working in creative industries, hospitality, tourism and professional services offer great potential for crisis proofing rural communities.” The #buyfromthebush campaign improved quality of life for 90 per cent of participating rural business owners.

COVER STORY

Timber shortage Continued from page 1

“We knock out between five to 10 house frames on a weekly basis, it all depends on the size of them, and I’ve got 26 guys working here so if we had to close, that’s blokes out of work, and if they’re not able to build and supply house frames, the construction industry basically has to shut down in the biggest boom ever,” Mr Lawrence said. “Yep, thousand and thousands of people mate, that would probably put 25 per cent of Dubbo’s employees out of work, I’m guessing in the building trade. You can’t comprehend how many people the building game actually employs. “It is a perfect storm, and everyone was worried about COVID putting people out of jobs – well this has the potential to be worse than COVID ever was.” Mr Lawrence said timber mills across the state were looking to ramp up to 24-hour shifts but said they still didn’t think they could keep up with demand, and even that couldn’t makeup for the loss in imports. “On the docks, the government has to do something there. (Dock workers) have put on the goslow for some reason and there’s stuff that’s sitting out on boats that can’t even get into Australia at the moment, the fascia and all that, that’s all imported from New Zealand, and wherever, and it’s sitting on the water,” he said.

“I don’t know what the answer is. I can’t answer you that, bigger people than me need to answer that, someone in the government. “I just hope they get something sorted soon and we can get some more timber because we really need it – to keep Australia going you’ve got to have the building industry going. Australia relies on the builders’ backs as well.” NSW Labor has called for a Parliamentary inquiry into the long-term sustainable future of the NSW forestry and timber industry following deputy premier John Barilaro’s admission that timber supply shortages will increase the price of new homes, delay construction and cost jobs. Shadow natural resources minister Paul Scully said the state needs a timber plan that provides long-term certainty as well as an immediate fix to the problems small businesses are having right now to secure timber stock. “The inquiry we are proposing will help to better understand the projections for softwood and hardwood timber supply and demand, transparent reporting of the timber supply, and the opportunities for the timber and forestry products industry and timber-dependent communities. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said he’s well aware of the issue and is in regular contact with National’s leader and Minister for Forestry John Barilaro in relation to an expansion of timber

Bettaframe and Truss owner Phil Lawrence said it’s a fulltime job just to source enough timber to keep house frames and trusses up to his local customers on a daily basis. He believes the tightrope is unsustainable and hopes governments are looking at a range of options to ensure the building industry has a secure timber supply. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

supplies. “The extent of the devastating 2019/20 fires has put enormous pressure on timber supplies right across the state,” Mr Saunders told Dubbo Photo News. “I understand Forestry Corpo-

ration is looking at some innovative ways to source more timber for domestic use, and changes the National Party is pursuing on private native forestry will help bolster supplies and support local mills.”

SAVAGE SKIES THIS incredible image was taken by local storm chaser Coady LoMonaco in the midst of the severe front that hit Dubbo on December 28 last year. “This was a day of many close calls in which I had lightning strikes coming down within metres of where I was standing,” Mr LoMonaco told Dubbo Photo News. “After the really close one struck down right in front of me, I retreated back to the safety of my car and left the camera clicking away as the mayhem unfolded around me.”

EDUCATION

Teaching about the future By JOHN RYAN DUBBO educators have been told there’s a looming teacher crisis in NSW which means students into the next two decades can’t be guaranteed a proper education, according to an explosive new report. Former Western Australia premier, Rhodes Scholar and academic Dr Geoff Gallop has spent the past year heading up an independent inquiry which paints a bleak future for the state’s education system unless wholesale changes are made. The report recommends major changes to the salaries and working conditions of teachers to ad-

dress a crisis caused by rapidly escalating workloads, uncompetitive salaries and significant teacher shortages. In terms of public policy, Dr Gallop told Dubbo Photo News that the trajectory of the school education sector is facing an existential crisis that’s largely unrecognised both by the general population and also the state and federal governments. “What we found in our inquiry was that the problem in terms of attracting young people to the teaching profession is here now, we’ve already got very serious staff shortages throughout NSW and we expect a huge avalanche of enrolments coming in future years, so

to my way of thinking is, that’s a crisis,” Dr Gallop said. “You need to be renewing the profession all the time, you need new people to come in and you need the numbers – and they’re not there.” He said fuel to the fire was excessive teacher burn-out which means experienced educators who should be mentoring younger teachers are not there, that the younger teachers who are replacing retiring workers don’t have that same level of experience and skill, and there’s a lack of that mentoring aspect that only experienced, quality educators can provide. “What we found is that it really

is a fact that the current workloads are unsustainable. The pressures they’re putting on the individual teachers, even the most experienced teachers we have in NSW, are enormous – it’s not a sustainable mixture of issues,” Dr Gallop said. “What we need to do is to look at the remuneration of teachers; secondly, we need to look at the support they get from the system overall, and thirdly, we need to look at the workload. Unless those three issues are dealt with in concert with each other, I think the problems are going to continue.” Continued in NewsExtra, page 28

NSW Teachers Federation boss Angelo Gavrielatos was in Dubbo to tell local teachers the union would be ﬁghting for changes to the sector. He told Dubbo Photo News that if the ship wasn’t turned around, the next generation of students may well lose their fundamental right to an adequate education. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

DOG ATTACK

TRIVIA TEST

Young boys recall fateful morning they discovered dog attack victim By LYDIA PEDRANA

ALTHOUGH most children would be in trouble for running late to school, the mother of two primary school students is grateful an accidental sleep in and missing sock meant her boys were behind schedule two Tuesdays ago. While scooting to school on February 23, Kayde, 9, and Diekon, 11, Chatfield were first on the scene after two white American bulldogs allegedly attacked a 79-year-old woman, taking a chunk of flesh out of her right lower leg. The incident occurred in Erica Close, East Dubbo, just around the corner from where the Chatfields live. Recalling the morning, Kayde, who is in Year 4 at Buninyong Public School said he and his brother spotted the victim standing in a nearby laneway but didn’t realise what had happened until they got closer. “We were riding our scooters to school and we saw this lady but we didn’t know she got bit by a dog, but we went up to her and saw the big bite on her leg,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “It was a big chunk out of her right leg and it was bleeding all over the footpath. “She told us, ‘Don’t come down here because I’ve just been attacked by a big white dog.’ “I told her I was going to go and get Mum to call the ambulance.” While Diekon waited with the victim, Kayde sped home to his mum, Courtney, urging her to phone paramedics.

Kayde and Diekon Chatﬁeld were on their way to school when they discovered an elderly woman who had been attacked by a dog. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By the time Mrs Chatfield and Kayde returned to the scene, the dogs’ owners were allegedly sitting with the victim who now had a towel wrapped around the large laceration. Police and ambulance soon arrived and the victim was transferred to hospital where she underwent skin graft surgery. Understanding that one of the dogs involved in the incident has been humanely euthanised, Kayde and Diekon admit they are nervous knowing the second dog is still living close by. “Now, I try and speed past the (dogs’) house without making any noise,” Kayde said.

Mrs Chatfield shares similar fears and believes if her sons weren’t running late that day, it would have been them. “I’m not being mean to that lady but can you imagine what that would have done to my kids if they (the dogs) had of grabbed my children?” Mrs Chatfield said. “To be honest, I feel very uneasy knowing that there is a dog like that still in the neighbourhood. “I would never want anyone’s dog just to be put down, but I’m not feeling very secure knowing that what if one day I get a call and someone says one of the boys has just been grabbed by a dog.” As previously reported, it is un-

derstood one of the dogs’ owners was a former head ranger for Dubbo Regional Council (DRC). DRC has confirmed that an investigation into the involvement of a second dog is underway, and an organisation separate to DRC is being consulted to ensure it is conducted “appropriately and fairly”. Pressed on the progress of the investigation and fate of the second dog, a DRC spokesperson advised: “As the investigation is currently active, DRC is unable to make any further comment.” According to family members, the victim, who is slowly recovering from the attack, has not been contacted by the DRC or any other organisation since the Council’s head ranger informed her that the investigation process was being transferred to a third party. ••• RETRACTION: In last week’s edition, Dubbo Photo News reported on allegations by people familiar with the incident that the accused dog owner is now an employee of RSPCA NSW. Upon further investigation, and in working with RSPCA NSW, it has become clear that there has been a case of mistaken identity whereby the accused dog attack owner bears an uncanny physical resemblance to a RSPCA NSW inspector who is responsible for enforcing animal welfare in the central west. Dubbo Photo News fully retracts reports of any link between the dog attack and RSPCA NSW, and apologises to the RSPCA inspector for any unwarranted complications or issues caused.

Pandemic impact: COVID crisis takes toll on working women WORKING women across rural and regional areas may be among those whose mental health has suffered a decline thanks to COVID-19, with more than 65 per cent of respondents reporting a downturn in their mental health during the pandemic, according to research released this month.

As organisations and businesses across Dubbo marked this week’s International Women’s Day, the results of the survey conducted by superannuation industry mental health consultancy SuperFriend struck a worrying note. According to the report, two thirds of wom-

en said they experienced a decline in their mental wellbeing, while having experienced greater job insecurity and more reduced hours than their male counterparts during COVID-19 restrictions. The research showed that women aged under 25 were the worst affected, and women were impact-

ed nearly twice as much as men when it came to finding themselves out of work. SuperFriend’s CEO Margo Lydon said the pandemic had “intensified the challenges women already face such as balancing paid work and carers’ responsibilities” while also acknowledging that

the emotional toll of financial insecurity was a significant threat to women’s overall mental health and wellbeing. Ms Lydon urged corporate Australia to use the COVID crisis as an opportunity to better engage with its female workforce through a more flexible and empathetic approach.

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY SHOWERS might not be an option after the MAAS Titan Macquarie Mud Run this year. After nine kilometres of rollicking through the mud and good times, you might think that would actually matter, but organisers are staying positive about what COVID rulings will look like by Saturday, March 27, so it is still a possibility you will leave clean. “One of the best facilities that

will be available, is the river,” Mud Run committee member Rod Fardell said of a post-event wash down. “And we do have some beautiful water trucks at the finish line. Either way participants will be sorted on their way home.” Over 750 entrants have already signed up to the action-packed community event, now in its eighth year. That number includes anyone who registered for the cancelled 2020 event, so their entry has automatically rolled over for this year.

Complying with restrictions means send-off groups will be smaller, spectators must adhere to social distancing and of course if you’re feeling unwell, stay home. Mr Fardell guarantees one key element to the Mud Run has remained unchanged; just how much fun participants will have. “As in all years, we’ve mixed the course up, so they’ll have a great deal of fun with that. We have some great fun obstacles too. We do realise people have been in lockdown, so we’ve made

this course about fun, for both the kids and the adults, rather than super crazed fitness. Although in saying that, we have provided some challenges in there that will test the very fit as well, but as for every obstacle on offer, there’s always an option B.” To register for kids, youth or adult sections, or just stay up to date, visit the MAAS Titan Macquarie Mud Run Facebook page or website at www.titanmacquariemudrun. com.au

A SERVICE linking stroke specialists with local emergency doctors to enable swift diagnosis and treatment of the life-threatening condition has already saved the lives of Dubbo patients in its first year of operation. Jointly funded by the state and federal governments, Telestroke is hosted by Sydney’s Prince of Wales Hospital, and is particularly beneficial in regional areas because of the time-critical nature of the condition. It allows local doctors to make timely decisions as to diagnosis and treatment options for stroke patients, and as the service celebrates its first anniversary, it has already saved many lives across the state including in the Dubbo region. The launch of the service last year coincided with the outbreak of COVID-19, and NSW Health says its success demonstrates just how well the telehealth model of care can work, especially for rural and remote patients. According to Telestroke’s medical director, Professor Ken Butcher, the service bridges more than just geographical distances in the fight against stroke, which is one of Australia’s biggest killers and a leading cause of disability. Every year, around 19,000 residents in NSW have a stroke and more than a third live in regional, remote or rural areas.

RIVER STREET BRIDGE

Parties prepped for parliamentary debate BCRs not the only thing used to decide best bridge option: Saunders By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

The recent truck convoy protesting against the River Street Bridge option.

By LYDIA PEDRANA A PARLIAMENTARY debate on Dubbo’s controversial River Street Bridge petition will take place in Sydney next Thursday. The debate comes after more than 10,000 people signed a petition asking for a Troy Bridge bypass option to be fully explored. Speakers on the affirmative side (advocating for a bypass and against the proposed bridge) will include Shadow Minister for Transport David Harris, Member for Barwon Roy Butler, and Member for Cessnock Clayton Barr. Activist and leader of the Stop The River Street Bridge campaign, Karina McLachlain, said the group is “excited” for the petition debate, with many supporters planning to make the trip to Parliament House on the day. “Our movement for a Newell Highway bypass via Troy Bridge is gaining momentum,” she told

Dubbo Photo News. “We are very confident that the debate will be a huge success – although we are aware that petitions don’t necessarily change government policy, we are assured of the moral victory on the day. “The government’s arguments in favour of the River Street Bridge are being discredited one after the other and its case is falling to pieces. “We have no worries with David Harris, Roy Butler and Clayton Barr in our corner and they will come out swinging.” Meanwhile, Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders, who is a long-time proponent of the River Street Bridge project, will speak for the other side, with the remaining two speakers yet to be announced. Mr Saunders has previously told Dubbo Photo News he was also looking “forward to being involved in the debate relating to the project when it comes before the Parliament.”

DUBBO MP Dugald Saunders was unavailable for comment for Dubbo Photo News’ cover story (February 18) about a government study which showed the River Street Bridge was not the best benefit-cost option for Dubbo. A duplication of the Emile Serisier Bridge was shown to have a BCR of 0.7 and River Street Bridge has been reduced from 0.5 to 0.3. According to a Transport for NSW definition, a BCR of 1.0 is industry standard to show a project would result in a net benefit to the community. Mr Saunders provided his response this week to the low BCR for the River Street bridge, citing a workshop held in 2016 where key stakeholders, including representatives from the former Dubbo City Council, business and community groups and other government agencies took part, and which led to three options being shortlisted – Purvis Lane (BCR 0.3), River Street (now 0.3) and LH Ford duplication (0.1). A fourth was Emile Serisier bridge duplication (0.7). Troy Bridge was not analysed. “Benefit cost ratios (BCRs) were used to compare the potential benefits of each project, including but not limited to safety ben-

efits, travel time savings, vehicle operating costs and the estimated costs required to build and operate the project,” Mr Saunders said. “However, BCRs are not the only thing that guides an infrastructure decision like this because they don’t necessarily capture all of the possible benefits, like population growth. “As I have said many times before, the River Street Bridge project is not the silver bullet to Dubbo’s traffic problems. But it was one of a range of projects that were identified as priorities in council’s traffic management strategy (the same guiding document which states that Dubbo doesn’t need a ring road), and which Dubbo City Council approached the NSW Government to fund and deliver. “The other projects include the upgrades from roundabouts to traffic lights at the intersections of Victoria and Whylandra Streets, and Cobra and Fitzroy Streets, which are currently underway. “Dubbo City Council determined that these projects were a priority and asked the NSW Government to help, and that’s exactly what we are doing,” Mr Saunders said. The current Dubbo Regional Council has repeatedly stated its opposition to the River Street Bridge project.

Dubbo invited to support Melanoma March DUBBO region residents are urged to leave their footprint on melanoma as efforts step up to save lives from the disease. Not-for-profit organisation Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) is calling for locals to join its innovative new Melanoma March campaign to raise awareness and funds in the 10th year of the national campaign. Due to COVID, the traditional family-friendly physical events have been replaced with an interactive digital campaign. To participate, you can buy a $30 digital footprint in support of the one Aussie every 30 minutes who is told they have melanoma. Each footprint can be personalised with a message of support or hope and shared to socials to spread the word. To find out more, visit www. melanomamarch.org.au

– particularly younger generations – to volunteer for their communities. “Gulgong’s attractions, including the museum, are run completely by volunteers and that’s

why I think we do so well,” she said. “Everyone is so passionate about the history of our town and so I’d say get out there and do it!”

DEMENTIA CARE

Dementia carers to connect across the miles By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THOUGH no longer permanently based in Dubbo, Dementia Australia (DA) says it is committed to serving rural, regional and remote people living with a dementia diagnosis, and their caregivers. On Tuesday, March 16, DA will host an online Care Wellness Program session from 10am to 11:30am. The free session suits residents living in Dubbo, Cobar and surrounding areas. “The Carer Wellness program is designed to address the impacts on a person’s wellbeing while they care for a person living with dementia, to support them with strategies to improve and maintain their health and wellbeing, and show how to access appropriate services and support,” programme facilitator and Dementia support specialist Clare Coyle said. Ms Coyle says connecting carers is important, so they know

they are not alone. “It also provides an outlet to discuss their stories and situations within a group of people who understand what caring for someone with dementia looks

and feels like. They speak to others who understand,” Ms Coyle said. The program covers seven key strategies. “These strategies include, understanding dementia, eating for health and wellbeing, physical wellbeing, sleeping well, understanding memory, mindfulness and meaning, resilience and emotional wellbeing. “Carers often put the wellbeing of the person they are caring for before themselves. This means they can become – and miss the signs of being – stressed and burnt out. The program uses a combination of approaches to help participants recognise their own strengths and sharing of information and ideas with other participants.” All carers completing the course are offered an individual follow up session and are referred to ongoing support options. People can use a smart phone, laptop, tablet with WIFI, or a tele-

phone to join in. Mrs Coyle has provided support to people impacted by dementia across New South Wales for more than 11 years and has run the Wellness program for 18 months. “I also have personal experience with dementia. My brother-in-law was diagnosed with younger onset dementia at age 53. Sadly, he died at aged 60.” Dementia is an umbrella term for over 100 types of neurological disorders, the most common being Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia surpassed cardiac disease as the number one killer of Australian women in 2017. It is not considered an old person’s disease though aging is a risk, as are known lifestyle, environmental and genetic causes. Dementia affects people in their 40s, upward. There is no cure.

TRADIES from across Dubbo and the region may be among those to benefit from the extension of the federal government’s 50 per cent apprentice and trainee wage subsidy. The incentive will help provide new job opportunities in one of the industries that, according to Master Builders Australia (MBA) CEO Denita Wawn, is leading the nation’s economic recovery from the pandemic’s impact. The $1.2billion extension of the Boosting Apprenticeship Commencement (BAC) scheme is a boon for the economy, with the building and construction industry having a huge “multiplier” effect. “The extension of BAC will give employers confidence to take on new apprentices and trainees to help meet future demand for skills,” Ms Wawn said, adding that it was the MBA’s pre-budget submission call for employer support that prompted the extension of the scheme which has been successful in enabling businesses to take on apprentices and trainees. “Making the extended program demand-driven is a good move that will support more people to take up pathways to careers in our industry as it leads the build to economic recovery.”

The property owner, who was looking to remove the tree from their property, contacted DRC staff through a local arborist to enquire about the possibility of preserving the palm in Wellington’s Cameron Park. “This is a wonderful story for the community, the very impressive Canary Palm was destined for the woodchipper but with some staff proactivity, we are going to relocate this glorious palm, where it will be right at home in Cameron Park,” Mayor of the Dubbo Region, Ben Shields said.

RIVER HEALTH

Trapped, in a good way By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY LAST week Dubbo Photo News featured some photos of the giant new Gross Pollution Trap near the low-level Serisier Bridge being completed. Here are behind-the-scenes photographs of the huge piece of infrastructure when it was being constructed. This latest addition to the ‘fleet’ takes the number of GPTs in the local government area to 64, with 46 in Dubbo and another 18 in Wellington. This latest monster has the capacity to capture and store 40 tonnes of rubbish, making it one of the largest in Australia. The expansion and renewal of the GPT network has been a long-standing commitment from Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) mayor Ben Shields who said he is pleased to see the work complete and the trap working as it should. “We collect approximately 350 tonnes of waste from going into our river system each year, with this value climbing to 450 tonnes in wetter years,” councillor Shields said. “When I was first elected may-

or, we made a commitment to the many community groups that would volunteer their time collecting rubbish from the Macquarie River, we said we’d make a change and I believe this project has delivered on that promise.” DRC’s infrastructure director Julian Geddes said the West Dubbo trap is one of the biggest in Australia. “The West Dubbo GPT is the largest proprietary trap in Australia, which means it’s the biggest we can order before we look at custom built traps. The trap measures an impressive 11 metres deep and has the capacity to capture forty tonnes of rubbish,” Mr Geddes said. “The process of installing the West Dubbo GPT commenced July 2020 and was completed late last year and since then the trap has collected approximately 32 tonnes of rubbish, a great result for our river system,” he said. Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) are installed to catch stormwater pollution before it enters waterways. GPTs act like a filter, retaining litter but allowing water to flow through.

THE five-year anniversary of the amalgamation of Dubbo and Wellington councils could get its own publication. A meeting of Dubbo Regional Council’s Culture Economy and Corporate committee this week heard that at the CEO’s request, the Corporate Image and Communications department has undertaken preliminary investigations to commence researching, compiling materials and developing the framework and production plan required to produce a multi-page, full-colour corporate publication recognising five years post amalgamation of the former councils. The size and style of the corporate publication envisaged to suit the content is based on a tabloid full-colour print newspaper. The publication would be produced “in house”, with the writing and design to be undertaken by the department and enlisting the services of a third-party editor to review all content prior to final production or print, and production of a corporate styled newspaper publication. It is intended that such a publication would “showcase and highlight the community assets and services” introduced since amalgamation that have “improved the community’s way of life”. The summary states that the corporate publication would comprise testimonials and editorial content from representatives of the community, community groups, all tiers of government and organisations “providing testimonials of support, appreciation and success stories that showcase the achievements of Dubbo Regional Council five years post amalgamation”. In presenting a summary of the proposal, Corporate Image and Communications manager Andrew Parsons recommended council approve a budget of $50,000 to manage the overall production, print, and delivery of the newspaper style, five-year post-amalgamation print project with any unspent budget to be returned to consolidated revenue.

JOLLY GOOD YARN

Cheering socks By JOHN RYAN

Primary school student Lacey Bourke says the Jolly Soles fundraiser has shown plenty of reward for all the hard works she’s put into it. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

DUBBO Works isn’t just about day jobs that adults perform, it’s about the stories behind the people doing that work as well as the many components of our society which makes Dubbo as a city ‘work’. Here’s an uplifting snapshot at how one local club is keeping kids off digital screens, helping them stay fit and also showing the children the value of hard work and the importance of self-reliance. At 11 years of age Lacey Bourke has a year to go at St Johns Primary before she hits high school, but already she’s learnt plenty of life lessons many adults still struggle with. She’s been a student at the Dubbo Cheer Academy for two years, which is run at the local PCYC, and says it’s a great activity combining different disciplines of sport, ballet and dancing as well as offering plenty of opportunities to have good fun with friends. “I saw cheerleading on television, and it was something I really wanted to do and some of my friends joined too,” she told Dubbo Photo News. One thing that sets her apart form many 11-year-olds is the fact she has to run her own fundraising to pay for her trips away with the team. “We raise money to go away and to buy ourselves costumes, jumpers

and whatever we need, we fundraise to go away and cheer to see if we can win events. “Because we get to do all this ourselves, it teaches us that we’ve got to work for things if we want them. We’ve all got to work for what we want and that’s how we earn to pay for it all.” Selling Jolly Soles is her current venture, and she said the silly socks are flying out the door. “So, they’re silly socks with a bunch of designs on them that we sell and make money. They’ve got all different designs and they’re in different sizes that people can buy for our fundraising,” Lacey said. “They think the socks are funny and lots of people want to buy them and they want to wear them because they’re so slick and kids can wear them to school on silly sock day and adults can wear the silly socks to work and no-one knows. “People are saying that they want to buy a pair, they like buying them from kids to help us out and they like buying socks because it’s something that everyone can wear.” The primary school student told Dubbo Photo News that it’s a smart way to do things because people don’t feel like they’re just donating money to the Cheer Academy unlike buying a raffle ticket where there only one or two winners. “It’s more fun because everyone wins themselves,” Lacey said.

“People know they’re getting something worth that donation in return that they’ll use, unlike buying a raffle ticket and hoping for the best. “I’ve sold a heap of them actually; I sell them to my neighbours and friends and mum sells them to people she knows.” Mum Cassie Bourke said Lacey gets a lot of satisfaction when she goes to Cheer practise because she knows she’s making it all happen by her hard work at fundraising. “It’s an important life lesson,” Mrs Bourke said. “It’s run by PCYC and the girls do all the fundraising themselves, Lacey’s very good, they’re all very good, they’re having a great time but also learning the importance and value of working to be able to afford things they want.” She said the Dubbo Cheer Academy is only a small group and the two coaches are volunteers and fit those duties in during their own free time. “Lacey’s been doing it for two years and it’s been growing in that time, each year that she’s been doing it. “It’s great for young girls and boys and we have competitive and non-competitive so people can go all out or do it at their own pace, there’s no pressure, they don’t have to do competitions if they don’t want to.”

GRAIN SPECIALIST

Accumulating grain, skills and mates By JOHN RYAN

AT 32, Joe Finch took a roundabout route to become a grain accumulation specialist at Fletcher International’s grain terminal. He was raised in Bourke and went to the University of New England (UNE) to study a double degree of law and agriculture, changing from ag to criminology because at the time he found it very interesting. He moved to Dubbo and did a bit of paralegal work while finishing up his degree, started in irrigation with his brother for about five years and last year wanted a new challenge. “I talked to the guys out here, they had this role going. I started in August last year and basically hit the ground running, out on the road talking to farmers so it was a bit of a baptism of fire in this massive harvest,” Mr Finch told Dubbo Photo News. “It’s amazing, after three years of drought and then walking into this season, everyone is just absolutely happy. So, I got off on the right foot and then we saw the organised chaos of harvest, trying to work all around that, making sure

that we accommodated everyone.” He says the Fletcher International workplace culture is all about assisting and encouraging people to reach their full potential and said that while it can be confronting, learning on the job in a supportive team environment is the best way to do things. “Look, it was very challenging to be honest, but I think getting stuck right in and learning by doing is always a good way to do it and getting through it,” he said. “I was helped by the support from the whole grain staff here, from the boys in the yard giving you options, you’ve got logistics helping you out, the traders, the GM over here, all those kinds of people who you just ask a question, and everything’s explained straight away and that’s all the way up to top to Melissa and Roger – everyone’s there to support you and to make sure everything works. “So yes, it was challenging in that it was a busy year but also rewarding in the fact that we’re getting through it. It was just a really good way to kick off and a good step into Fletcher’s for me with that supportive culture real-

ly showing through. “I knew a few of the team outside of their work before I started here so I knew I would have some support but the fact that I started and from day dot there were people letting me know that if I needed something, just to ask, if I was worried about something, just ask and it was extraordinary. He said the grain accumulation role is incredibly diverse and loves the fact such a job exists in Dubbo. “This job is very rewarding and the fact that no two days are the same is a good thing and the different people you see along the way, the different personalities you interact with, it all makes it interesting and a lot different to most other jobs I think,” he said. Canola, and storing all grain this year is a huge challenge with farmers wanting to get it out of plastic storage sausages and onfarm storage into a professional grain handling facility because of problems with mice and rats. “The facilities here are amazing and with the number of farmers I’ve talked to, over the last five years how they’ve seen how this terminal has progressed and to see where we’re at now, between

the unloading machines in the bunkers and how we can load, the two weighbridges, the autosampler; it’s all progressive and it just makes everyone’s jobs easier,” he said. “For those farmers coming in,

we can get them in and out of the site far quicker so then they can get back and get the next load and keep everyone going. “Being able to store everything and knowing it’s secure, that’s peace of mind.”

Coffee served with love By NATALIE LEWIS SANDRA Mudford is a barista who puts her heart and soul into every coffee she serves. As the Harvest Café operator at Dubbo Christian School, she is at the centre of the school community, happily serving food and drinks to her satisfied customers. Explaining how the café was established, Mrs Mudford said the school ran a survey among staff and parents. “They decided it would be a good place for the school community to meet,” she said. At the time, Mrs Mudford had just left a similar role in West Dubbo, so it was perfect timing.

“A friend saw the ad in the school newsletter so I decided to apply.” Following Mrs Mudford’s appointment, the café started operation at the beginning of Term 1 last year. “Our first day was 10 February last year. It was an interesting time to start operation,” she said, with the state’s COVID-19 lockdown commencing soon after. After surviving that period, business manager Scott Morris described Mrs Mudford as “the fabric that has held us together” through the uncertainty of 2020. This year, the café is back in full swing using the appropriate COVID-safe measures and has be-

come a social hub for parents and friends of the school along with staff and students. Not only are they enjoying the locally sourced fresh food and beverages, but there is also an element of learning involved with commerce, food technology and life skills classes all utilising the café, along with work experience students learning the ropes. After nine years as a baris-

ta, Mrs Mudford likes to pass on the knowledge she has gained through training and experience. She also enjoys keeping her patrons happy and believes the best coffee is prepared with feeling. “I make my coffee with love and I think having a good brew, good milk and a clean machine and listening to what the customer wants is most important.” Mrs Mudford is looking forward

to the Harvest Café serving past, present and future members of the school community. “We get to keep teachers happy. I feel that it is a good way to serve God, build community and relationships.” The café was previously used as a classroom and green room during school musical productions. It’s also hoped to start a playgroup there in the future.

IN BRIEF

Successful trial guarantees flights to Ballina will continue

Call for committee members to help fundraiser, Tour de OROC

DUBBO Regional Council (DRC) and Fly Pelican have announced flights on the Dubbo – Ballina/ Byron route have been extended until at least June 2021. Mayor of the Dubbo Region, Councillor Ben Shields, has welcomed the extension, saying it demonstrates that the subsidy model has merit. “Dubbo Regional Council has been able to waive passenger fees until August 2021, which is in line with our Revenue Policy to provide the waiver for a full year. This allows the airline to investigate whether the route is a viable option, and if they would like to continue offering it,” said Councillor Shields.

THE Toyota Tour de OROC is seeking assistance with the organisation of the 2021 event in October. The event requires a team of volunteers to organise the logistics of the event which covers over 1,000 kilometres in six days, coordinate events and accommodation in the communities that are visited along the way, assist with fundraising and sponsorship, gather police and insurance approvals, gather support personnel and more. Tour de OROC 2021 is proposed to run from Monday, October 4 to Saturday, October 9. For those interested, please e-mail: info@tourdeoroc.bike

Cape Byron Celtic Dance (CBCD) DubBo

Celtic Dance is returning to Dubbo in the capable hands of long-term teacher, Karen Armstrong. Karen invites people of all ages to join the fun every Monday afternoon from 4pm at Dundullimal Homestead, for classes in traditional Irish or Scottish Dance. “I began Highland Dancing at age eight in 1967 in Dubbo under the teaching expertise of Dorothy Morris,” Karen said. “I attended two studio lessons a week and many private lessons so I could perform at my best in competitions and eventually in 1975 I sat for my Highland Dancing Teaching diploma with the Scottish Dancing Association of Australia, aged 16. While raising a family in Bryon Bay, Karen set up her own dance school, Cape Byron Celtic Dance, in 1992, where she taught several forms of traditional dance for 28 years, specialising in Scottish and Irish Dance with a hint of Galician and Morris. “The school’s greatest achievements to date are winning the International Highland Dancing Festival Team Choreography event in 2019 and the Australian

Celtic Festival’s Dance Championships, in Teams and Solo events for the four years prior to COVID19. “My youngest daughter, Molly, is now a fully qualified Irish Dance teacher so when I moved back to Dubbo in 2019, she took over the dance school in Byron Bay.” The Cape Byron Celtic Dance (CBCD) Dubbo strives to produce the same fun, friendly and family filled atmosphere as the country NSW division of the Byron Bay school. “We pride ourselves not just on perfect traditional technique but on our intricate chorography pieces where we incorporate both Irish and Scottish styles. We’re affiliated with the Royal Scottish Official Board of Highland Dance, Scotland and An Coinmisium le Rinci Gaelacha, Ireland. “The Dubbo school isn’t a new dance school; it is just an extension of what we have been doing successfully for over a generation,” Karen said. The Dubbo school is offering dance classes in traditional Irish and Scottish Dance with routines for the dancer to learn and enjoy as individuals or in a group for Ceilidh dances, Irish jigs and Highland Flings.

Mr Amor says the aim of the day is to visit the Warrumbungle Towns struggling with COVID-19 after the drought and fires. “All venues will know we are coming through and will

We are not having an end of ride event as normal, because nothing is 'normal' anymore and it would have been too difficult to find a suitable size venue in Coolah, someone to be able to cater for our group,

and also to remain compliant with COVID-19 requirements. “Obviously, if you are unwell on the day, please stay home and get tested.” The gathering begins in the Macquarie Inn carpark from 7am on Sunday, March 21, access via Dan Murphy driveway.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Boxed in speed camera car

ROB KATEN has a sense of humour when it comes to the massive increase in revenue raised by speed camera cars. He’s given Dubbo Photo News a pic (right) he took of a state government cash machine trapped in its lair outside the motel next to Club Dubbo, boxed in by two trucks which would have had to have vastly cut down the line of sight for its speed cameras. “Thumbs up to these trucks parking in the camera car out west Dubbo. There was nowhere else they could have parked other than out the front of their accommodation and by the looks of it there were no fines handed out today. Well done,” he said. I agree, I have no problem with speed cameras in areas where people need to slow down, but they shouldn’t be put in locations that don’t need them.

Nyngan stabbing A 19-YEAR-OLD man has been charged following a stabbing in Nyngan late last month. About 8pm on February 27, a 33-year-old man was allegedly confronted by a group of men on Hoskins Street after leaving a party at the nearby showground. Police allege those in the group assaulted the man by hitting him across the head with a glass bottle before stabbing him in the abdomen and continued the assault before fleeing. The injured man was located by a family member a short time later and taken to Nyngan Hospital, before being transported to Dubbo Hospital. Officers from Central North Police District commenced an investigation and following inquiries the 19-year-old was arrested at Dubbo Police Station on March 4. He was charged with reckless wounding in company. Investigations continue.

Rural cops team up with landholders RURAL Crime Investigators from across the region are set to host community engagement workshops during the coming months in a move to develop target hardening strategies for victims of rural crime. Rural land holders and commu-

nity members and media are invited to attend the workshops to be held at Walgett, Nyngan and Cobar between April and June. Rural Crime Prevention Team members will discuss the roles and functions of local investigators, their intent to engage and assist rural landholders in deterring and preventing crime, and the target-hardening strategies available for repeat victims. General community questions and concerns will be addressed at the conclusion of each presentation. The community engagement workshops have been developed in response to the significant psychological and financial impact on farmers and landholders as a result of rural crime. Between 2015 and 2020, nearly 11,000 cattle and more than 100,000 sheep were reported stolen to the NSW Police Force. This is a conservative financial loss of over $22.5 million to NSW Primary producers. “The violation of an intruder entering your private property and stealing from you has a considerable effect on your emotional state and your sense of safety and security,” Rural Crime Prevention Team State Coordinator, Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Whiteside, said. “Subsequently, the Rural Crime Prevention Team is working with rural communities to assist with developing ‘target hardening’ strategies for your property.” The public is urged to attend the workshops and meet with their local Rural Crime Investigators who endeavour to provide information on reducing the risk of becoming victim to rural crime. z Walgett Sports Club – Wednesday, April 21, at 6pm z Nyngan Bowling Club – Wednesday, May 26, at 6pm z Cobar Bowling Club – Wednesday, June 23, at 6pm

INDIGENOUS ART

Local creative shortlisted in art competition Dubbo artist Lewis Burns has been named as a ﬁnalist in a kinetic art competition. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ KEN SMITH/FILE

WELL-KNOWN Dubbo artist Lewis Burns is one of three Indigenous finalists selected in a kinetic art competition where the winner will produce a work for the Old Dubbo Gaol Heritage Plaza. If chosen, Mr Burns’ concept would feature shimmering tiles to represent the surface of water and tell the story of Daroo, a local dreamtime story. “Daroo is a dreamtime story which originated in the region around Dubbo, describing the discovery of the first platypus,” Mr Burns said. “This is a story of resilience, survival and metamorphosis. “The story of Daroo invites contemplation on the themes of resilience and survival, as well as the idea that a community will metamorphose over time into the place where its people want to live.” Dubbo Mayor Ben Shields said the kinetic art competition attracted a high calibre of artists from across Australia making the panel’s shortlisting process very difficult. Kabi Kabi (Sunshine Coast) Wiradjuri woman, Bianca Beetson and Kent Morris of Barkindji heritage, who lives Yauk-ut Weelam Country in Melbourne are the other two finalists. Mr Burns, Ms Beetson and Mrs Morris will now receive $5,000 each to workshop their ideas and consult with the community over coming months.

Do you know where people are illegally dumping rubbish, and why? IN a bid to identify major illegal dumping locations, the type of items dumped, and the community opinions as to why illegal dumping occurs, a survey is currently available for the community to complete online. Residents who do not have online access can utilise free internet at the Macquarie Regional Library or visit Dubbo Regional Council administration offices in Dubbo and Wellington. Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has received a $20,000 NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) grant to gather historical information on illegal dumping, and the collected data will be analysed to determine key illegal dumping locations, items, and issues. When the results of the survey are collected, a community education program for the Local Government Area (LGA) will be developed to address the key findings from the illegal dumping data analysis. The survey is open until the end of March via council’s website

Vinnies’ shops, like the newly refurbished Dubbo outlet, provide a huge variety of all sorts of items, which get to people who are doing it tough. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

CALLING all volunteers. Vinnies is looking for people to volunteer at its Dubbo shop and the prerequisite is a passion to give back to the local community. After temporarily closing last year due to the pandemic, Vinnies Dubbo has reopened with COVID-safe measures in place. Vinnies NSW retail area manager Karen Heidke said the organisation has a “lovely” group of volunteers who have been able to make a positive impact. “For a lot of us, the events of the past year have highlighted the importance of community and looking

out for people in need,” she said. “Working in a Vinnies shop is a great chance to meet excellent people and you get the satisfaction that the sales are used to support people who fall on hard times.” Sales from Vinnies shops are used to fund support services offering food, clothing, financial aid, crisis accommodation and other assistance. Volunteers typically donate a few hours of their time each week to help in areas such as customer service, sorting donations and maintaining the day-to-day running of the shop. To learn more about volunteering with Vinnies Dubbo, contact Karen Heidke on 0490 709 391 or email karen.heidke@vinnies.org.au

COUNCIL WATCH

Local man and crew row 24 hours non-stop By LYDIA PEDRANA DUBBO man, James Samuels and three of his school mates have just completed a 24-hour nonstop rowing challenge in preparation for an unsupported rowing race across the Atlantic Ocean in December. Set up on ergs at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, the four crew members took turns at rowing in two-hour stints before having two hours rest, meaning they each did 12 hours in total. The impressive feat was to raise money for their attempt at the gruelling Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge, an annual premier rowing event which sees crews from all over the world row continuously for 5,000 kilometres from the Canary Islands to Barbuda. Facing the wrath of rough conditions, sea sickness, exhaustion and stress, it is expected the feat will take approximately 34 days. Although they are all self-confessed thrill-seekers, Mr Samuels and his fellow crew mates, Sam Horsley, Louis Hugh-Jones and Rob Wells, are undertaking the challenge to raise money for charity Gotcha4Life and help smash the stigma around mental health in Australia. Speaking to Mr Samuels after the fundraiser, he said his body held up better than he was ex-

pecting, although exhaustion kicked in after the adrenalin wore off. “The most challenging part was definitely two to three hours before sunrise,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “Knowing you hadn’t had a wink of sleep and you weren’t going to be able to until the next night was tough. “We had a lot of support from friends and family during the row but during those hours it was just the four of us.” To get them through, the men relied on a diet of protein bars, bananas, sugar and water. “It was a bit of an experiment for us trying out different foods and what works for our bodies,” Mr Samuels said. “But we definitely got sick of the sugary taste of what we were consuming towards the end.” While at sea, the rowers are advised to consume around 10 litres of water and 5,000 calories worth of food each day. On average, each person loses 12 kilograms while crossing the Atlantic. Unsurprisingly, the spectacle piqued the interest of beachgoers who flocked to watch the crew sweat it out on Bondi’s promenade. A local florist even donated 1,000 single stem roses for them to sell.

Council throwing shade at city’s centre

James Samuels, Louis Hugh-Jones, Rob Wells and Sam Horsley are preparing to row 5000km across the Atlantic ocean in December. Right: James Samuels submerges himself in an ice bath during a 24-hour rowing marathon. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

In total, the initiative raised them a total of $33,500, including a $10,000 top up from their major sponsor Shaw and Partners. By the time the event rolls around, they aim to reach $500,000. From now until race day, the men will continue training in the gym, on the erg and at sea. “Our boat has finally arrived so we will be able to take her out for a few weekend training rows

soon,” Mr Samuels said. “There are two ‘rooms’ at each end of the boat where we will rotate sleeping and there is no toilet on board, so the rowers use a bucket.” With more fundraising activities, including a black-tie ball, in the works, Mr Samuels welcomed any sponsors keen to get involved to get in contact with the team through their Instagram page: shawandpartners_atlantic.

COUNCIL is bringing the cool back to our city’s CBD, with the implementation of a tree planting program that aims to increase the amount of shade for shoppers, visitors and businesses alike. Thanks to a federal government grant of $440,000, to which Dubbo Regional Council is adding a further $200,000, the city’s central streets of Talbragar, Wingewarra and Bultje will be home to 17 new trees. The two species selected for planting are the Rough Barked Apple (Angophora floribunda) and the Japanese Elm (Zelkova serrata “Green Vase”). The benefits of the project are twofold according to Mayor Ben Shields, who says the trees will not only reduce temperatures by providing more much needed shade but would also be have an aesthetic value to the CBD’s streetscape. According to Liveability Director Skye Price, the project also comes with environmental benefits, given the reduction of urban heat and the expansion of the shade canopy cover for the city’s centre. The trees will be placed into the western ends of the three streets and will greatly enhance street appeal, according to Ms Price who says the planting will also “assist in creating strong links between Macquarie Street and the river corridor, including the new event precinct based at Ollie Robbins Oval”. The work was scheduled to begin last weekend, with the majority of work to be carried out during the evening to avoid traffic disruptions. It is expected the work will be completed by the end of April this year.

IN BRIEF

Speed zone changes for Wellington following DRC requested review TRANSPORT for NSW has carried out reviews of existing speed limits on Nanima Village Road, Lowrie Drive and Pierce Street/Amaroo Drive at the request of Dubbo Regional Council. “The review assessed several factors including crash history, road geometry, usage, nearby development, traffic mix volumes, and the number of intersections and access points,” a Transport for NSW spokesperson said. “These new speed limits will provide safer travel for all road users and reduce the likelihood of crashes with minimal increase to journey times.” Respective sections of Nanima Village Road will be changed to 80 km/h. Lowrie Drive will be increased from 50 km/h to the rural default of 100 km/h from 300 metres south of Nanima Village Road to 220 metres north of Burrendong Way. Respective sections on Pierce Street will be changed to 80 km/h and a section of Pierce Street/Amaroo Drive will be decreased from 100 km/h to 60 km/h.

YEAR 11 Dubbo student Charlize Mulholland is on the threshold of publishing her first book, ‘Thread of a Demon’, which chronicles her personal story of a mental health crisis. For the past year she has been feverishly writing, and more recently accepted the support of experienced writers and editors, local authors Val Clark and Kerrie Phipps. Ms Mulholland says she hopes the book will help everyone in a crisis situation pause for thought. “My story isn’t the only story. I walk around school seeing so many kids getting yelled at, seeing students yelling at their teachers and I look at them and I think, what’s happened to you; are you ok? “For teachers and kids, and parents and psychologists, I just want them to realise that you don’t know what’s happening in their lives. By reading this book, I’m hoping, for all those adults and all those kids, to realise that there’s more to a person than you actually realise,” Ms Mulholland said. Editing the manuscript, Val Clark noted that for someone of Charlize’s age, her approach to the gruelling process was mature beyond her years. “I found it really encouraging the way Charlize told her story. It was not a, ‘and then, and then, and

It was structured in a really interesting way, and I felt that was a very mature approach to the story,” Mrs Clark said. “The way she’s taken on the edits too, I felt – and I’m not being patronising – it was unusual for someone her age.” Supporting Ms Mulholland to navigate the publishing and design aspects of ‘Thread of a Demon’,

putting a book together. “I’ve really enjoyed seeing how she’s been so committed to creating a really good book and been willing to go back and reread and rewrite.” ‘Thread of a Demon’ by Charlize P. Mulholland will be available from Sunday, March 28, at the Book Connection, Macquarie Street Dubbo.

Flicker fest from the past By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THIS blast from Dubbo’s past is sure to conjure fond memories from anyone who had the chance to see movies on the silver screen. The Century Theatre photo is contributed by Caroline Evans but was taken by Alan Evans who was a founding member of the Macquarie Credit Union, set up baseball in Dubbo at Apex Oval and ran the full competition there,

coached soccer and was part of the Newtown Soccer club. “He was just really interested in making the Dubbo community better,” Ms Evans said. “He worked at Macquarie County Council and taught at TAFE.” Ms Evans’ memories of the Century was cheering when the curtains were drawn back, and the Jaffas rolling to the front of the theatre. What are yours?

COMMUNITY CEREMONY

THE lives of Sheldon and Shane Shorey were fondly remembered in a moving ceremony attended by family, friends and community members at Wellington’s Pioneer Park on Friday, March 5. In a touching tribute, the memorial was a sea of colour as mourners wore football colours to honour the brothers. Shielded from the bright autumn sunshine by a large white marquee, guests remembered the pair through memories, music and singing. Pastor Tom Sloane from the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress said the pair were ‘sadly missed and never forgotten.’ The boys’ love of sport was evident, particularly rugby league, and they were described as very sporty, kind and happy. Footage of their lives was accompanied by the song ‘I’ll be missing you’ by Sean Combs.

AS the days turn cooler, the children of Wellington Public won’t have to worry about feeling the heat at school again. Twenty-four learning spaces and two libraries at the school have been fitted out with new air conditioning units as part of the state government’s Cooler Classrooms Program. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the initiative is being rolled out over five years, with a $500 million investment in classrooms and library spaces in more

than 900 NSW schools. “The NSW Government is committed to providing students with healthy and comfortable learning environments,” he said. Installation has already been completed in 199 schools across the state, including schools in the Dubbo area. “Works are progressing well,” Mr Saunders said. “Nine schools have been completed, including Wellington Public School, and a further 12 schools are in the design, tender or delivery stages.”

EDUCATION

Teaching about the future Continued from page 3

NSW Teachers Federation president Angelo Gavrielatos began teaching in 1987 and said the profession is a world away from those simpler days, with expectations in 2021 fuelling a workload that is unsustainable and unsupported by the education department. He said the Federation called its own review into the sector because the facts needed to be unearthed and laid out for the state government. “The changes in the last 17 years have been significant and indeed unprecedented compared to changes in previous eras which resulted in significant salary increases for teachers,” he said, pointing out that a 2003/4 review by the Industrial Relations Commission awarded increases of 12 to 19.5 per cent, based on changes that had taken place in the previous ten years, and in 1990/91 the increases awarded by the Industrial Relations Commission was 13 to 29 per cent based on changes over the ten previous years. “The changes in the last 17 years are unprecedented (with) regular changes to curriculum, assessment, reporting, changes in terms of government expectations and

prescriptions, societal expectations, parental expectations, student needs – incredible change. “That change has got to be recognised by way of more time and support for teachers and principals and a competitive, professional salary. If those changes are not made, the teacher shortage that is already at our doorstep will grow and increase exponentially – and it’ll be the students who will suffer.” Mr Gavrielatos said policy makers are divorced from the reality of schools and that ultimately, what’s needed is a state policy reset. “A policy reset where governments show responsibility,” he said. “With respect to parents and the broader community, I think it’s fair to say – and this is based on surveys that were conducted last year in the context of COVID lockdowns – surveys show that more than 90 per cent of parents found a little bit more respect for teachers as a result of that lockdown. “We certainly appreciate that, and we certainly hope that it lives on a bit longer into the future, having realised the work of teachers and the demands on teachers. “Parents often saw those demands through the prism of their

own children, one or two. Locate that kind of demand, that expectation and that pressure, in a classroom of up to 30.” This report is the first investigation of teachers’ work since 2004 and found teachers’ work had increased due to constant policy changes, significant increases in student need, rapid changes in technology, the expansion and

frequent reform of the curriculum, new compliance measures, administration, data collection and reporting responsibilities and higher community expectations of what schools and teachers can do. The extent of change dwarfed that of any other era of investigation dating back to 1970. “At the same time as these increases in work, complexity and

responsibility, there has been a decline in the relative position of teacher salaries alongside that of other professions and a reduced attractiveness of public sector teaching as a career; this being a contradiction that needs urgent attention by way of a significant upgrade in teacher salaries and an improvement in career options,” the report states.

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Submission against Bunnings in Palmer St The Editor. We would like to register our opposition to the development of a Bunnings store at the old RAAF stores base, for the following reasons. 1. The development of a commercial outlet in Palmer Street, facing and amid residencies, is going to affect this entire area of South Dubbo, which is not zoned commercial. 2. There is no shortage of commercially zoned areas already available in Dubbo. The present site of Bunnings in the BlueRidge estate being one such purposely developed commercial area. 3. Residential Streets in the area were not designed to cope with trucks and increased traffic flow which would accompany the establishment of a huge new Bunnings store in this residential area, most especially the delivery of merchandise at all hours of the day and night. 4. Increased noise and congestion in our residential streets if this development goes ahead would affect our normally quiet neighbourhood. Thus our sense of a community, where people of all ages and stages can easily move easily, will be harmfully affected. 5. Think: Would you like it plonked in your street? Would your children be able to ride their bikes, with all this extra traffic? Would your elderly neighbour feel too anxious to drive to the shop with traffic and trucks whizzing past? Would the community aspect of life in a quiet rural city street be lost and deter people from seeking residency in Dubbo? Developers should not always achieve their desires over what is in the best outcome for local people. The former council already failed the people of Dubbo once, by not purchasing the old Dubbo RAAF stores site as a community asset, back when it was offered to it at a minimal cost by the defence department. Don’t fail us again by approving this development. Michael and Lenette Allen, Dubbo

Older drivers deserve better The Editor, Well done the writer of “Penalised for being an older driver” (Dubbo Photo News letter’s page, March 4, 2021). We are the most discriminated against group in the community. I have a record like the writer – excellent health, a driving record with no traffic infringements, and I have driven my car every day for 60 years. Pre-school delivery, school delivery, work, shopping... The powers in charge insult us by handing us a 15 kilometre radius (restricted driving distance) instead of at least 50 kilometres to visit outer villages. Name withheld at Editor’s discretion

Borrower beware The Editor, How many of us learn from experience or the experience of others? Do we know of someone who went guarantor for a relative who reneged on the loan and the guarantor had to pay? Over a year ago there was a news report from the USA that many homeowners had lost their life investment through home equity. Borrow money on your home to help out a relative or go on a cruise or replace your unreliable car. There are TV ads with this “opportunity” for us. There is also a Bill going through parliament to soften the legal requirements on lenders to make sure the borrower is able to repay. Can a pensioner or self-funded retiree afford escalating repayments when interest rates go up? You may be saying goodbye your lifetime investment. Name withheld at the discretion of the Editor

Let’s improve Cervical Screening Program The Editor, This year, around 900 women in Australia will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and around 250 women will die from it. The vast majority of these deaths are preventable. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is the cause of almost all cervical cancers.

Through the National Cervical Screening Program (NCSP), self-collection is currently only offered to women aged 30 or older who have never participated in cervical screening or are two or more years overdue. The research shows HPV self-collection could be offered more widely, and potentially as an equal choice for all Australian women. Self-collection is an alternative way of collecting the sample required for HPV testing, which a woman can do herself. As a less invasive approach to the standard speculum procedure, it could help overcome the barriers some women experience to having clinician-collected cervical screening.

The study shows offering all women the option to collect their own sample would be an effective approach to further reduce cervical cancer incidence, by helping to reach more women who are not participating in screening currently. If you are overdue or have never been screened, it is important to get tested. Although self-collection is not yet available to all women, many women are eligible – ask your healthcare provider about it. Women aged 30 or older who haven’t had a screening test in the last four years are eligible for self-collection now. Dr Megan Smith, Senior Research Fellow, Cancer Council NSW

Thumbs Up to Geoff Richards’ Panel Beating who did a remarkable job with damage to my vehicle. The utter professionalism of the team shown to me from “go-to-whoa” was echoed in the repair at hand.

Contributed by AMY WHITELEY TO assist with the transition between years 6 to 7, South Campus have redesigned their classroom spaces with state-of-the-art furniture, teaming this with the NSW Government’s recent digital technology rollout. Dubbo College South Campus adopted feedback received from years 6 to 7 student transitions and worked closely in consultation with local primary schools. “The driving force behind the change is to provide a continuum of learning between Stage 3 and 4,” Dubbo College South Campus principal Linda Macleod said. “This structure will encourage teaching and learning among staff and students to expand and grow. We’re focused on prepar-

ing every student for the 21st century and look forward to seeing the benefits of this powerful and innovative teaching practice,” Ms. Macleod said. The new structure involves a group of four core teachers allocated to Year 7 classes. Collaboration and communication are two principles teachers will work with to encourage students’ creativity and critical reflection, providing a holistic education experience. “The collegial and collaborative nature of this team-teaching context has renewed teachers’ passion for education and strengthened our commitment to engaging every student in meaningful, relevant and impactful learning,” Dubbo College South Campus, Year 7 Teacher Aaron Taylor said.

“Shine a light on me” says a Talbragar Street almost devoid of vegetation. Plans to green up the city's second major business street has created division in the community, with some shop owners concerned their businesses could be affected, with many Dubbo residents claiming plenty of trees would bring plenty of shoppers anxious to hide from Dubbo's searing summer sun.

Mice vs Cheesecake: Like many residents in and around Geurie (and many other places this year), Prue Luffman has seen her fair share of rascally rodents during the mice plague. So, it was a perfect summation of the year so far when she was presented with this incredibly creative and superbly crafted cake in the image of a block of Swiss cheese, with tiny ﬁeld mice running all over it. “Love my birthday cake,” she said.

Wheel fell off wagon: David Soper was driving along a gravel road and noticed an antique wheel and part of an axle lying just off the other side of the table drain that hadn’t been there, last time he drove past. “Saw a wheel besides the road and wondered why,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “A bit further up the road I found the answer – somebody's mobile home had lost a wheel.” It’s certainly not a sight you see every day.

MEET THE BOSS Mark Thompson Company: Titan Macquarie Mud Run Position: Vice President I got involved in the Mud Run... because I could see an opportunity to improve the health and fitness of the community by building outdoor fitness facilities. We are known for... Dubbo’s annual run and obstacle event which includes all fitness levels. It is known as a fun event which includes individuals, teams, families and children. The most important thing is the team that put the event together. My role is... coordinating sponsorship for the event The best part about the Mud Run... is the great committee. They enjoy seeing all the participates having a great time while doing the event and get satisfaction putting back into the community. I spend my down time... training and trying to stay fit to set an example of health and fitness In my opinion, the biggest issue putting on the event is... the bureaucracy the event has to negotiate to operate What three famous people, dead or alive would you invite to dinner? Donald Trump, Neil Armstrong and Scott McLaughlin I’m most proud of... how much the Titan Macquarie Mud Run has grown, and the interest taken up by the community. When you were a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? Play in the mud without getting into trouble The best piece of advice I can offer is... have a goal, write it down, be positive and never bring up the past. And if I wasn’t in my current role, I’d... probably be on some other committee that supports our local community and puts back in.

Dubbo Photo News March 11-17, 2021 CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY

Australia, well Dubbo, cleaned up By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY DUBBO is cleaner than ever before and the volunteers to help clean up are more numerous than ever before – that’s the message Dubbo Photo News has been hearing from the community people on the ground doing the tidy up last weekend for Clean Up Australia Day. Dubbo Rivercare Group was front and centre of the clean-up and plenty of their mates lent a hand on the day and organiser Ros Williams couldn’t be happier. “More than 65 volunteers of all ages rolled up their sleeves to pitch in from 8am,” she told Dubbo Photo News. That included a group of kayakers who swept the river from the Church Street boat ramp to Devil’s Hole Reserve and a large group on land who cleaned up at Devil’s Hole Reserve, an area which has traditionally been a natural collection point for all sorts of rubbish and waste. “Dubbo Regional Council staff were on hand to collect the rubbish – the amount collected filled a five-tonne truck – wheels and tyres, household waste, cans and bottles, shopping trolleys, cardboard, broken witches’ hats, microplastics, fishing line, polystyrene, numerous syringes,” she said. “Volunteers were rewarded with a fabulous sausage sizzle followed by cake. Thank you to Mayor Shields and Midwest Foods for assistance with the cost of refreshments.”

Dugald Saunders joined a group of Southlakes’ residents for the clean-up, collecting bulk waste from kerb sides, footpath and around the lakes.

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.

SPEEDWAY ACTION

Morris Park the place to be last Saturday By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL FOLLOWING our Dubbo Photo News Back Page and action photos last week, the Dubbo Speedway track came alive again for the NSW Late Model State Title, AMCA Nationals Country Cup. More than 1200 people packed the pit and elevated vantage spots in what is, according to CLub officials, the biggest crowd since 2012. Morris Park Speedway Dubbo is going ahead at a furious speed and with clement weather a grand crowd travelled from all over NSW as well as interstate to be a part of the action. “Race fans were treated to some high paced action and lots of thrills,” according to Club President Ian Boland. “It was fantastic to have the likes of former Dubbo resident, now Queensland-based Carter Armstrong, John Lodge Jnr (Hunter Valley) and Nathan Disney and Ben Nicastri who claimed heat race victories. Nicastri also claimed the fastest time during qualifying for the Late Model State Title.” Ian says the title race produced action packed racing with fast cars and a number of spectacular crashes. “Victorian Driver Peter Nicola prevailed in the final of the State Cup ahead of Nathan Disney and Damien

Hodges.,” Ian said. The AMCA National feature was won by Darrell Klime followed by Terry Pankhurst and Spano Gutierrez while the hotly contested Junior Sedans was also hotly contested. Jackson Goldie excelled in the feature race Jackson Goldie ahead of Tyler Burnham and Zac Hignett from Narromine who finished third. Ian Boland was delighted with the form of local enthusiasts. “Dubbo Drivers dominated the Production event. Chris Blyton’s night nearly ended on lap one of the final after a spectacular spin, but “Blyto” was able to regain control and avoid impact and went on to win from Shane Holmgreen and Matt Vicary.” The next event at Morris park, just past the Taronga Western Plains Zoo on the road to Yeoval, will be Easter Saturday. It will featuring Wingless Sprint cars and Speedcars with racing underway from 4pm For more information – facebook. com/dubbocityspeedway2830.

LADIES GOLF

Ladies tee off at “Royal” Dubbo By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL WHEN I heard that Australian golfing royalty Peter Senior was in town on the weekend, I assumed that he must have been at the course on Thursday to hit the first ball of the new season. Wrong. It’s a shame he didn’t come in a day early because he would have enjoyed the spectacles as Dubbo and regional golfers hit off in perfect weather. The twotime Australian Opener would most certainly have enjoyed good company and the inevitable 19th Hole wash-up and luncheon.

Opening Day was a spectacular success according to golf lover Bernadette Reynolds. “We were blessed with the weather and very grateful to Danielle and Kintyre Living Village for their very generous sponsorship of the day. We also had two of our golfers, Rhonda Richards and Julie Rich donating prizes for nearest the pin in all three grades.” 18 hole 4BBB:  Winners – Rosetta Bartlett and Debra Robinson 42 points  Runners up – Julie Rich and Sharon Cannard 41 points 9 hole 4BBB:  Ronnie Lew and Bernadette Reynolds. 24 points

Farewell to one of Dubbo’s ﬁnest citizens

Dubbo athletes celebrate “different” season By GEOFF MANN THE sentiment from athletes at last Friday Night’s Presentation was overwhelming – “We are so grateful to have had such dedicated coaches and

parents who made our season possible”. That summed up a year in which COVID changed the way we do almost everything in life and the Dubbo club had to draw on the professionalism and

generosity of everyone involved to enable training and carnivals to go ahead. Today we bring you just some of the awardees but we will have a full list and more photos in next week’s Dubbo Photo News.

BOB Pearce used to grab the headlines when he captained the Dubbo cricket team during the then town’s golden era but it was the activities the gentle, humble man did behind the scenes that never made the papers for which “Pearcey” will be remembered. As a youngster playing Dawson Cup cricket in the early 1970s, I had the privilege of keeping wickets to Bob whenever Bob Stroud was on representative duty. While Bob was past his peak by then he was a formidable force in the Dawson Cup. He had the uncanny knack of being able to control where he could place the ball exactly where he wanted. Bob took hat-tricks, claimed more five-fors and had greater returns with his medium pace variety of cutters and swing but what I always remember was how he worked out each batsman. Bob would have a quick chat between overs, setting a plan that, by his calculation, would bring the Mogriguy team a wicket in the next over or two. Unlike many bowlers, Bob wasn’t trying to take a wicket with every ball. He taught me the value of bowling to a plan that aimed to draw an opponent into thinking they were on top, only to discover that the ‘money ball’ had claimed their wicket. Bob’s face would light up when his plan worked. No modern day histrionics, just a twinkle that said “told ya”! He was far too modest to play it up for everyone to see. You just sensed his pride in being able to analyse weakness, devise a way to exploit those and then deliver the telling blow. Everyone I have spoken to who knew Bob speaks of his wonderful sense of giving. He was generous with his advice around cricket, though never forced his opinions – just a knowing word of encouragement was all that it took. Off the field, Bob went about his business in a similar way. He was always up for a laugh and a practical joke but I don’t think I ever heard him demean other people. “Pearcy was incredible in the sheds,” one old shearer told me. “He did the work of two men. The floor was always clean, sheep were in the pen and ready to go and Bob would get in early and finish his breaks in time to make sure that the shed functioned smoothly.” Others spoke to me of the man who, as far as they knew, never held a car licence. “Bob walked everywhere – to cricket, to bowls, to watch the footy. You know, he would walk up to Lourdes Hospital or the Base or Nursing Home to visit his friends. If they needed anything or wanted to place a bet, he would walk back into town and do it for them. No fuss, no need for any recognition. “He was just one of those people who went through life caring for others, thankful for the opportunities he had been given in sport and a wonderful caring brother, uncle and mate.” Farewell Bob, you have left an indelible mark. Bob Pearce was an outstanding bowler. Year after year he was in the leading wicket takers. In 1966 he ﬁnished second in the Whitney Cup to the legendary leg-spinner Ian Drake - 133 overs, 37 overs at 11.7! PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Junior cricket wraps up on Sunday By GEOFF MANN AFTER one of the wettest seasons in recent times, the Dubbo District Junior Cricket competitions culminate on Sunday at the Lady Cutler Ovals. CYMS has seen their renaissance in juniors to a pleasing finish. The Cougars have an enthusias-

tic group of coaches who have ignited the passion in their young charges – result: five teams playing on Sunday. "We just wanted to get boys and girls together to learn new skills and have fun. Most of the older players have come through from Thursday afternoon cricket but I am sure they

will move further into the grades if they remain in town,” CYMS President Marty Nelson said. “It's very exciting to see our players and kids from all the other teams just being together and supporting each other.” The Grand Finals will be followed by the annual presentation of awards.

SOCIALLY SUNDY

A ‘battleground’ manicured to perfection! THIS was how Pistol Pete described the Dubbo City Bowling greens that greeted “some 30 rock and rollers” on Sunday morning. Once the obligatory pre-match coffee and liquid refreshments were imbibed and the week’s many fascinating events had been discussed, the action commenced. In a low scoring game on rink 17, Sue McAuley, Karen Greenhalge and Gordon Scott gave Ron Weigold, Fred O’Sullivan and Bryan O’Sullivan a head start before flying home like Winx to score a 12-9 win. Both triples’ teams – does that make them a sextuplet? – won eight ends apiece. The

mighty effort to come from 1-6 down after the first six ends almost led to a steward’s enquiry in the club house! In another tight one a couple of rinks away, Carl New, Helen Linnane and skip Rick See also split the ends eight apiece with skip Annette McMillan, Ron Morrison and John Cole. It took another late burst before Rick’s trio claimed the win. Two hauls of five bowls each proved the game-breaker on the second and third last ends. 1916 was the final score. Ron McAuley, Shirley Marchant and skip Chris Crisante played Alan Stockford, Paul Martin and

Trish Gosper in another thriller. “Chris plays quite seriously, but socially and on his day combines both very well. Trish is steady, calm and intensely careful when she takes to the mat. Chris’s team 14-10 after 11 ends, it blew out to 16-10 on the next before the brakes were applied. Trish rallied her troops and took the final four to scrape home 17-16,” Pistol explained. “Never-give-up is the secret!” Gordon Lummis and Lionel Ayoub paired up for a 16-10 win against Cheryl Storch and David Zacher. Incredibly, for the third match

Motorsports Dubbo double DUBBO’S Blake Fardell and Tyler Everingham are seen as rising stars in the world of motorsport, and both were in action at Bathurst last weekend for the first round of the Repco Supercars Championship. They were in the same race, unfortunately Tyler’s day ended at the start line

with mechanical problems while Blake performed consistently throughout the race and qualifying for the combined Series 2 and 3 race of the Dunlop series. Well done Blake and hopefully Tyler will have better luck with the mechanicals at his next outing.

on Sunday, ends were shared between Steve Kelly with Peter Sinclair and Gary Huggins with Mel Giddings. “Peter is normally a master of his bowls; Steve the up-and-comer improving each week. They kept their cool during a well-played match to take the win 20-11.” In the final match, Tom Hando, “the DOC” and Neil Hayburn pooled their skills against Frank Vaughan, Julie Brown and M. Zacher combined. Tom’s team was chasing all day. “The closest they got was oneall after two before Frank’s team clicked into gear to win by 22

bowls to 10. It was handsome, deliberate and well played. Results:  Winners – Frank Vaughan, Julie Brown and M. Zacher (plus 22).  Runners up – Steve Kelly and Peter Sinclair (plus 17)  Rester – Amazingly just the one – Gary Huggins.  Lucky Numbers – John Cole, Helen Linnane and Cheryl Storch. “I’d like to praise the committee who front every Sunday morning from 8am to take the entries, sort out teams and enable bowlers to sit back and relax before and after Combination Bowls,” Pistol Pete concluded.

Six of the best for Dubbo’s Clint Lundholm By GEOFF MANN DUBBO trainer Clint Lundholm has achieved something that veteran race-caller Col Hodges described as unbelievable on the Dubbo track last Fri. The former jockey and grandson of former Coonamble master trainer picked up a win with Conspiritrax in the first but then had three races to wait until releasing his horses on an unprecedented run. In Race 5, Grant Buckley guided So Good To Me first past the post then Elissa Meredith scored on

Fearless Mila. The treble came in Race 7 with Miss Mayfield (Liam Blanch) home in style and Matter of Fact (John Van Overmeire) was on board when Clint’s fourth in a row scored as “A Matter of Factor”. The best came in the final race when Sons of Bourke brought the crowd to their feet with a withering late run down the outside. Jockey Jake Prace-Holmes was met with a smile by the trainer and some super-excited owners who had travelled across from the Darling River town. Col Hodges described the feat

as unprecedented in his 50 years of calling. “To train the winners of five races in a row is staggering and six on the day... I’ve never seen that before!” Clint will be hoping for a similar return in his old home town when the Western Districts Country Championship is run at Coonamble. Coonamble President Ken Waterford says the track is in superb condition for what is expected to see a huge crowd of race lovers in the dress circle.

ly – and in somewhat of a risque manner – starting with what Sir Humphrey labelled the “Age of Youth” through to the “Age of Retirement”, where “one perambulates around the perimeter of the ground recalling past glories.” Well three of the best known names in Dubbo cricket through the 1970s and 80s, despite being in their “twilight’, continue to wield the willow as if to contradict the great speech-giver. Graham Mackie (aka Dan Frogan from his days with Dubbo Kangaroos), Glenn Roff (ex-Newtown captain) and Tony Corcoran (Dubbo High, Dubbo Rep and Country captain) met up at the NSW Over 70s Carnival last week.

riving in the city in the early 70s, was quick on the phone to let me know he had shared the pitch with some of the elder gentlemen of the game. “Ron Radford, father of Greg

who played several seasons with RSL-Colts was another at Port. He was selected to go to England last year after some high scores with the Australian ‘Saggy Greens’ in New Zealand,” Smacker laughed.

tearaway – back then – Chris Killen who played for NSW and South Australia as well as Australian 19s and Cameron Humphries (South Dubbo). John McKay from the Marthaguy club at Warren, who had a few seasons with CYMS, was in the squad alongside fellow Macquarie Valley batsman Rod Morrison (Souths), Glenn Arm-

strong (RSL-Colts) and the “immortal” Wayne Munro (Rugby, RSL, Western Zone and Country Cricket legend. Evergreen John “JC” Colwell was unavailable – and missed! John says they played in the A Division against many former opponents from Country carnivals. “We didn’t win but we had a lot

of fun recalling the halcyon days when we played every weekend and travelled from the Blue Mountains to Bourke just to get a game,” John laughed. From unconfirmed reports, there were more wickets taken and runs scored “in the club house after the days play” then were etched into the scorebook over the actual tournament!

“Roger the Dodger’s” perfect time stuns Ducks! By GEOFF MANN WHILE no one has been able to stop Duck Peter Hargreaves over the past month, Roger Mackay pressed the button on the stopwatch at 00, just ahead of the Redfins champ! Pete’s second place in the 25 metre freestyle was only a temporary slide down the podium as he teamed up with Josh Bird to claim the 2 x 25 Freestyle Brace relay. The unstoppable Hargreaves topped it off by taking out the prestigious Vern Traeger Trophy.

“I reckon Pete will come under close scrutiny by handicapper John Wherritt before his next swim,” Judy Walsh commented. “The Dodger” also had a good morning by winning The Jokers Ink monthly Trophy with Greg Jankowski. Both registered 0.19 off their times in the heat of the 25m free. Judy expressed the Ducks' gratitude to Jokers Ink. “Jokers Ink have had a long association with our club. The support from Jokers Ink and all of our monthly sponsors is highly valued

and the trophies keenly sought.” Bill Greenwood tuned up for ANZAC Day with his win in the second 25m Freestyle. “It was a good win for Billy but

he and all the Ducks will need to practice their Butterfly and Backstroke strokes with the Club Aged and Open Championships commencing on Sunday,” Judy smiled.

COMPETITION was again strong at our Weekly Point Score in the first week of March as the quest for final standings heats up. Colin Sheridan took the 30 metre event, 0.47 seconds outside his time while Terry Dray took the 50m, a mere 0.1 off the clock. Bonni Sheridan won both the Junior events in another impressive display. Five teams contested the Brace Relay which was taken out by Charlie Edwards and Bella Sheridan. Results for 2 March JUNIORS  25m – Bonni Sheridan (-.07), 2nd Lilly Sheridan (+.23), 3rd Xandah Edwards (-.98)  50 Metre – Bonni Sheridan (-.51), 2nd Lilly Sheridan (-.62) 3rd Bella Sheridan (-.99) SENIORS  30m – Colin Sheridan (+0.47) 2nd Terry Dray (-.51), 3rd Michael McLaughlan (-.72)  50m – Terry Dray (-0.10), 2nd Di Donnelly (+0.15), 3rd Brooke George (-0.42)  Brace Relay – Bella Sheridan/ Charlie Edwards (-.35), 2nd Michael McLaughlan/Nick Knowles (-0.96), 3rd Bonni & Lilly Sheridan (+2.56)

St Mary’s Dubbo adds AFL to Union and League titles ST Mary’s Primary has created a remarkable sporting record in recent years. The boys and girls have won regional and state titles in union and league – as well as producing a Wallaby (Tom Robertson), State of Origin lock (Isaah Yeo) and a junior Socceroo (Jacob Tratt). Last week St Mary’s Primary boys added another, taking out the Paul Kelly Cup in AFL against schools from across the region at a carnival in Orange. Coach Michael Quade who grew up playing league at Trundle managed to turn his hand to AFL, pulling together “a great bunch of kids” who will now play in Sydney in the State Finals. Well done!
