PRESIDENT SECURED PAGE 14

Arguably the best!

Coona High students claim state debating title

FULL STORY PAGE 2

1 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday,12 December 2024

Debaters make their point Coonabarabran High School’s Year 7/8 debating team has achieved an extraordinary milestone, winning the NSW Premier’s Debating Challenge state finals and taking home the prestigious Lloyd Cameron Cup. Their victory places the school in the Speaking Competitions Hall of Fame, a remarkable achievement for a small-town school competing against the state’s best.

by KAIT BRITTON The team, made up of Cha r lot te Rober ts, Ca i ra A r m st rong, Li l y Weatherall and Georgia Heaney, secured the title after a nail-biting grand final in Sydney last Friday, 6 December.

Thei r success is the result of countless hours of preparation and unwavering teamwork, guided by their coach, Ben Jackson.

Coonabarabran H igh School rel ieving principal, Duncan Graham said the team’s dedication and the suppo r t of staf f were key to their success.

“We are immensely proud of the team and their achievement,” Mr Graham said.

“It has taken a great deal of their spare time to hone their skills and learn to work as a team.

“Their success shows that a small school like ours can compete with and triumph over the biggest and bestresourced schools in the state.”

Mr Graham also highlighted the vital role of their coach.

“Ben Jack son’s experience as a highly successful debater was critical to helping the team develop,” he said. “ L i k e e v e r y extracurricular activity we provide, the expertise and effort of our staff are what make these successes possible.”

Reflecting on the competition, Charlotte Roberts said the victory felt surreal.

“When we first started debating and won our ve r y f i r st debate, we joked that we’d make it to Sydney, but we never thought it would actually happen,” she said.

“When we won the grand final, it didn’t feel real. Coming from a small town, we just wanted to make everyone proud, and seeing the school chee r i ng fo r us back h o m e m a d e i t eve n more special.”

Caira Armstrong said the experience taught her a lot about persuasive communication.

“I learned that being p e r s u a s i ve d o e s n’t mean being angry – it’s about breaking down w hy t h e ot h e r s i d e’s point is wrong,” she said.

B a l a n c i n g debating with school commitments was a chal lenge, but Ca i ra said managing her time carefully made it possible.

Fo r Li ly Weathe ral l, the key to staying calm during intense debates was preparation.

“We always made sure we were well-fed and had time to organise our thoughts before each debate,” she said.

“Coming from the bush, it was a proud moment for a l l of us to rep resent Coonabarabran High at such a high level.”

But it was “team unity” that set them apart from the competition, said Georgia Heaney.

“We were incredibly close and had similar i d e a s a b o u t h o w to approach each debate,

which gave us an edge,” she said.

One of her favourite moments came during a break between rounds.

“We were all e x h a u s te d , s o C a i ra

went to 7- Eleven and brought back energy drinks and lollies.

“It gave us the muchneeded sugar hit that we needed to power through the semi-finals.”

The team’s success would not have been possible without the suppor t of the b ro a d e r co m m u n i t y, including Rotary Club of Coonabarabran, which

helped with transpor t and accommodation costs.

“This win showcases the value of extracurricular activities and the effort our teachers put into

Coolah’s colourful mural takes flight A new mural of two crimson rosellas and a lemon-scented gum blossom eucalyptus has been unveiled in Coolah, courtesy of local artist, Zac Craig.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY Explaining his pro cess, Z ac sa id , “ I star t by making a written shortlist of ideas I’m considering, usually something related to the local area. I shared it with the ladies at the craft shop – and they decided on the rosellas.”

With a backg round in 3D chalk a r t, Zac sought to incorporate the building’s geometry, recognising that passersby wou ld be looking at it on an angle, allowing it to “pop”. “ It pr obably t o ok longer than expected,” he said. “ I painted it in my shed on a Villaboard (a cement sheet), which gives me more flexibility with the weather.

“So, despite the week of rain, as long as I was under the shed I was fine.

“But my shed isn’t tall enough, so the rosella at the top – his head was painted separately!

“Last week was the day I actually got to see

him with his head put on, which was nice. “ I had to tr ust my planning, f ingers

crossed that it all lined up – and it paid off. “ T he cra f t lad ies were super st oked –

open for Coona Shire rolls out body Enrolments Public opportunity class cams at pools

Opportunity classes at Coonabarabran Public School offer academically enriching environments for students in Years 5 and 6 to learn alongside peers with similar abilities, benefiting With the weather warming up, the 2024/2025 pool season is underway across the both their academic growth and social development.

Warrumbungle Shire, with new changes being implemented based on feedback received from last year.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY Since a motion regarding pool access fees was passed at the November Council meeting, casual admission to all pools across the shire has been reduced to $2. This will only apply when a pool attendant in on duty, and became effective as of Friday 22 November.

“This change aims to improve accessibility to the pools for the community, while maintaining high standards of safety and service,” said Shire mayor, Cr Kathryn Rindfleish Season ticket holders will not receive a discount, however, they will continue to enjoy unlimited access to the pools from 6am to 6pm every day throughout the season.

Subject to staffing, the pools will operate: Monday to Friday – 3pm-6pm; Saturday and

Sunday – 10am-12 noon, and/or 3pm-6pm During the December – January school holidays, pool hours may be extended to 7pm for the general public, provided an attendant is available.

Body cameras One of the most significant changes to town pools sparking community concern was the introduction of body cameras for pool attendants.

“The safety of our staff and visitors to the pools prompted the roll out of the body cameras,” explained Nicole Benson, Warrumbungle Shire Council’s director of technical services.

“Last season saw a significant increase in antisocial behaviour at pools across the Shire.

“Incidents varied from a disregard of pool rules, verbal and physical abuse towards patrons and Council staff, attempted theft of goods,

to damage to buildings and equipment.”

The current pool season commenced strong, however, Council reported one minor incident involving youths fighting at the Coonabarabran Swimming Pool.

Individuals involved have been banned from Council pools in line with its ‘Patron Behaviour Procedure’.

The announcement of body cameras for pool attendants initially drew concerns and feedback from the community, which has since been addressed.

Council staff have received induction training on the proper use of the body cameras and on Council pool supervision procedures.

Recordings will only be accessed by delegated staff at Council. Access is at the request of Council’s human resources department if the incident involves a

Council staff member, or at the request of the NSW Police.

“Council is committed to the privacy of residents, workers and visitors in the Local Government Area, and undertakes to implement protections and processes which will maintain privacy in accordance with state and federal legislation,” Ms Benson said.

“We work in line with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW) and strict internal protocols are in place for the management of the data.”

The effectiveness of the body cameras will be monitored throughout the season, by recording the number and scale of incidents. This information will be provided in the annual pool season review report to Council.

Opportunity classes are offered in selected primary school from Years 5 to 6.

Students get to learn together with classmates who have similar abilities.

T h i s a l l ow s thei r teache r s to use special teaching methods to move students through the curriculum at a faster pace and in more depth.

When learning alongside other high potential and gifted classmates, students benefit both academically and socially.

Students say they love learning with other students who also enjoy asking questions, delving deep into topics and being challenged academically.

Selective high school s and opportunity classes also offer a broad range of co-curricular activities such as sports, creative and performing

arts, music and special interest clubs.

Your child may have high academic potential if they demonstrate any of the following: • enjoy learning • have intense curiosity • display a good memory • ask complex questions • enjoy learning new and often complex ideas or skills • require fewer repetitions when learning new things • are creative • become intensely focused in their area of interest or passion.

WORD for WORD

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quick-fire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?” And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? No there’s been attempts from people, but nothing has ever stuck.

Do you have a favourite community event or group? Binnaway Show Society.

How d id you come to l i ve i n Binnaway? My parents work.

Have you read any good books or watched any good movies lately?

I’m currently reading the second book in the Poppy War trilogy by R. F. Kuang and it’s amazing. Definitely not my standard cup-of-tea.

Where would people recognise your face from? Here and there.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? An author.

What ’s the most interesting job yo u’ve eve r h a d?

This one – journalist for the Coonabarabran Times, no two days are the same.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? A cup of tea and a book.

How would your family and friends describe you in three words? Quiet, creative, bookworm.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? Bookshops – the quirkier the better.

I f you h a d a n a n i m a l o r p l a n t renamed in your honour, what would you want to carry your name? A tree.

What’s one totally irrational fear that you have? Plants with really big leaves or flowers, the kind you find in a rainforest. They just give me the creeps.

Best thing about living in Binnaway?

The people.

If you could have any superpower what would it be? The ability to say the right thing, every single time.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? Wizarding World of Harry Potter (or any of the filming destinations), Christmas in the snow, trip around Europe.

Do you have a hidden talent? No, but I’ve always wanted to have one (a hidden talent).

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be? The Victorian era and any time within that. All the superstitions are fascinating.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be and what would you cook? J.K. Rowling – I know they say never meet your heroes, but she’s actually done so few interviews, so it’d be fascinating.

Or Taylor Swift, just for fun. And I’d cook some sort of pasta dish, because it’s the only thing I can cook.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? Visiting family over the weekend – my little cousins’ antics kept us all laughing.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.

Despite the circling t hu nder st or ms a nd the pressing humidity, the exper ience was overwhelmingly fun and kept every buzzing and on their toes.

Canoeing, mud runs, archery tag, cycling and lots of swimming were the goals for each day.

T he m o s t p o pu l a r wat er spor t by fa r was sta nd-up padd le boarding, which kept everyone cool and bobbing about in the water.

Every student embraced every activity and enjoyed ever y moment. The delicious food was also a big hit, with scrumptious potato bakes, chicken schnitzel and wraps, which all helped ma ke a tr u ly memorable time for all, and an especially good finale to primary school days for Year 6.

A special time and fun for Year 2 was their tra nsition i nt o the primary playground.

Growing up too fast, they cou ld be seen dar ting about the multipurpose court with basketballs aimed at the hoops and squeals of laught er f rom the equipment.

Now they have had a taste they will not be retur n ing to the K-2 pl ayg r ou nd a ny t i me soon.

WEATHER WATCH

While the ground didn’t shake, a minor earthquake with a magnitude of 2.7 was detected in the Warrumbungle Shire on Sunday night.

The quake occurred a t 11 . 5 9 p m o n 8 D e c e m b e r. D e s p i t e being recorded by seismic monitors, no reports of the ear thquake being felt we re received, l i ke l y d u e t o i t s l o w magnitude and the remote location.

T h e e p i ce nt re wa s approximately 30 kilometres west of Gulgong and while the focus was very shallow (p e r h a p s a b o u t 2 k m d e e p), i t i s u n l i ke l y to h a ve b e e n fe lt at Gulgong.

During the last week, Canberra has had heavy rain and thunderstorms, with the heaviest daily fall being 48.6mms to last Saturday morning, 7 December.

This was the fourth wettest daily fall there for December in the last 85 years. The heavier daily December rainfalls we r e 8 7. 6 m m s on 3 December 2010, 56.4mms on 15 December 1947 and 86.6mms on 30 December 1948.

The first eight days of December has seen a total of 101mms at Canberra, the wettest start to start to December since 113mms in 2010.

November and D e c emb er 2 010 wa s certainly very wet in our region, with floods par ticularly in early December.

The summer of 2010-11 was warmer and much wetter than usual, with the highest temperatures near 40 degrees at end of December, early January and again late in January.

The rainfall pattern ex a m i ne d at Ya mba this year has been very similar to that of 1954 and also at many districts in NSW and Victoria.

After a dry June at Ya m b a t he mo nt h ly rainfalls from July were 139.8, 234.2, 121.6, 79.4,

Coonabarabran’s bottom weir last week.

138.2mms and the early December to date the ra i n fa l l has reached 61mms.

T he 19 5 4 mont h ly totals from July were 324, 95.9, 227.9, 76.6, 119.4 and 78.4mms.

In 1998, the monthly totals from July onwards at Yamba were similar, except in October; where the rainfall fell short of average.

T he last half of N o v em b e r h a s b e e n n o t e w o r t hy o f v e r y hu m id , wa r mer a nd wet t er -t h a n- aver a g e with a high frequency of thunderstorms – and this continued into early December. This was very similar to that which happened in 1954.

After mid December 1954 it became drier and less humid and maximum temperatures approached 3 9 de g r e e s c l o s e t o Christmas and then 40 degrees was reached 40 degrees by early January 1955 and again during the third week of January.

Heavy rain arrived on 23 January and this slowly extended south by 28 January.

Major f loods in February 1955, firstly in Victoria, and on 24 February 1955 in NSW. Last month, Yamba had its equal warmer November nights with that of 1877. December 1877 was hot and dry generally, but February and March 1878 saw widespread major floods in SA, Victoria and NSW. The lowest temperature in Yamba last month was 17.5 degrees and this was the first time in 114 years that the lowest temperature did not fall below 16.5.

The lowest temperature at Yamba in November 2009 was 16.2 degrees and that led to a very wet summer indeed in our region. Many places got hit by hail stones bigger than golf ball size.

Keith Hull steps up to save the Unicorns The Coonabarabran Unicorns Rugby League Football Club has avoided closure following the election of Keith “Ducko” Hull as the new club president during an urgent meeting held on Tuesday, 10 December, at the Coonabarabran Golf Club.

by KAIT BRITTON In a decisive moment for the local club, Hull’s appointment ensures the Unicorns will take to the field in 2025, preserving a proud tradition that has been part of the Coonabarabran community for decades.

The meeting, described by attendees as “make or break,” came after weeks of uncertainty.

A lack of a club president had left the Unicorns on the brink of folding, despite having coaches, players and a full committee in place.

Hull, a long-time player, trainer, coach and supporter of rugby league and well-known figure in the local community, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead the club.

“I couldn’t stand by and watch the Unicorns disappear,” Hull said.

“This club means so much to so many people, and I’m honoured to take on the role.

“With the help of our fantastic committee and the community, I’m confident we’ll make 2025 a season to remember.”

Outgoing president Steve Walton

praised Hull’s commitment and the community’s support.

“Keith is the right person to guide the Unicorns into the future,” Walton said.

“We’ve got a strong committee, enthusiastic players and now the leadership we need.

“This is a fresh start for the club, and we’re excited about what lies ahead.”

With Hull at the helm, the focus now shifts to the upcoming season.

The club will continue its preparations for the 2025 Castlereagh League season, pre-season training already underway.

The Unicor ns’ committee has encouraged the community to stay involved and support the club in any way possible, whether through volunteering, sponsorship, or cheering on the teams from the sidelines.

For now, Coonabarabran can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their Unicorns will live to play another season.

Let’s keep the blue and gold running strong in 2025!

Keith ‘Ducko’ Hull has taken on the role of president of the Coonabrabran Unicorns Rugby League Football Club.

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Mudgee Races Friday, 6 December Remaining unbeaten after three starts, the three- year old gelding, Nomorenightshift further enhanced prospects for a very bright future when winning the 1100 metres Class 3 Showcase Handicap on Friday at Mudgee.

Before a spell, the Mack Griffith, Mudgee-trained Nomorenightshift had come with a powerful finish from the tail of the field to win at Dubbo and Gunnedah.

R idd e n i n a m o r e forward position by Ashley M o r g a n at Mud g e e , Nomorenightshift ($1.85 to $1.70 favourite) took the lead in the straight a nd sa fely held of f Decisive Lass ( Mitch Stapleford , $17 ) a nd Doublesha rkattack ( H e a v e l o n Va n D e r Hoven, $20).

“A v e r y g o o d w i n

by Nomorenightshift, despite sti ll being g reen,” commented A shley Morgan a fter dismounting.

Bred and part owned

by Adam and K rystie Baker, Nomorenightshift was produced by the mare Nosey Tycoon and is a half brother to the good ga l lopers, Tags and Zarizatycoon, both trained at Bathurst by Gayna Williams.

Tags has won five races and been placed seven times from 23 starts, while Zarizatycoon won the first two starts at Mudgee and Narromine i n ver y i mpressive fashion before suffering a bleeding attack when unplaced at Rosehill.

Z a r i zatyco on has returned to good health and recently finished second in a barrier trial

at Dubbo.

A capacity cr owd was eagerly awaiting the r un n i ng of the $75,000 Mudgee Cup, however, the riders were instructed to return with their mounts from the st a r t i ng p oi nt when a severe st orm w ith d a nger ous l ightn i ng converged on the racecourse.

After a lengthy delay the cond itions had not improved and the meeting was postponed, with the Cup and final race still to be run.

Punters had been off to a good start when the heavily-supported Tor n won the 12 0 0

metres Maiden Plate for Scone trainer, Brett Cavanough.

Backed from $3.50 to $2.70 favourite, Torn (Mitchell Bell) tracked t he le ader, S pr i n g Prospect, and then raced to a three-lengths win over the fast-finishing G r e at S out her n l a nd ( H e a v e l o n Va n D e r Hoven) and Ischy ros (Mathew Cahill, $5.50).

Formerly from Na m ibia , Heavelon Va n D er Hoven wa s responsible for a good ride on Proud Image to win the 1200 metres Cup Day Sprint on the Jason Coyle, Warwick Farm trained Proud Image.

Clifton Springs and Smart And Dapper led for home before Proud Image ($6.50), with an inside run, raced to a two lengths win from Jaex (Mitchell Bell, $11) and Extravagent Lad (Mathew Cahill. $2.05 favourite).

Other winners were the Ben Blay trained Nothing’s Sacred (Darryl McLellan, $5), Perfumist (Ashley Morgan, $1.80 to $1.70 fav), trained

by Bjor n Ba ker, and P h a r oa h za n a (S ien a Grima, $19), from the Cameron Crockett stable at Scone.

Monthly Medal played on fresh course After the beautiful 200mm of rain and no golf for over a week, the Coonabarabran golf course opened on Saturday for the December Monthly Medal – which is always Roach’s.

WEEKEND GOLF We had a great field of players and the course was surprisingly dry.

B y nex t we ek , a f t er some mowing, it’s going to look great!

A few people found the following in their first four holes – lost ball, unplayable and out of bounds!

The winners on the day were: Cody Higgins

with net 67, second – Craig Bennell 70 and third – Stan Capewell 74.

In the women’s event, Zoe won with a rather high score of 86, while Jan Keppie was runnerup.

Balls went to M Edwards 75, F Nottle 76, F Clifton 77 and B Weatherall 77.

There was one NTP won on the day and that went to Zoe, on the 8th.

The shootout went S

Capewell.

Ma ny tha n ks t o Roach’s for our trophies.

A lso on the course on Saturday were the “Longest Day” golfers, playing 72 holes. That’s eight times around our course!

T here were some s or e b o d ie s c ome by the 72nd hole, but they all finished and raised some ver y impor tant funds for the Cancer Council. Remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek

and Slide – and there’s a lways sunscreen available at the f irst tee or inside the club for free!

This week, on F r id ay n ight , i s ou r Presentation Night.

On Saturday the Doc Antaw Golf Day will be played, while on Sunday we’ll have a second go at holding our Open.

Medallions awarded Three World War II veterans from Moree have been honoured for their service during a special presentation last Thursday.

Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Barnaby Joyce and federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton presented the families of Noel Arthur Dean, James Carl Shepherd and William Henry Norman with a Commemorative Medallion and Certificate of Commemoration to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The medallions were presented on behalf of the Moree RSL SubBranch at the recently opened Moree War Memorial Museum.

“While Australia can never repay the debt we owe almost one million Australians who served during the Second World War, this medallion and certificate are a small but meaningful way we can thank veterans of the largest global conflict of the 20th century,” Mr Coulton said.

“I’m pleased to be joined by Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Barnaby Joyce in Moree to present these special medallions to the families of Noel Dean, James Shepherd and William Norman.

“Noel and James were both members of the 24th Light Horse Regiment. Noel transferred to the 2nd Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on October 8, 1940 and served in the 3rd Australian Armoured Regiment before he was discharged on May 28, 1946.

“James was transferred to the 2nd AIF on November 29, 1940 and served in the 2/64 Transport before he was discharged on October 1, 1945.

“The Commemorative Medallion

provides veterans’ families with a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and services rendered by a member of their family to preserve our freedoms and way of life,” Mr Joyce said.

Mr Joyce said it was a great opportunity to be in Moree to meet with local veterans.

Wee Waa’s Georgie Haire named as a 2025 RAS Rural Achiever finalist Wee Waa’s Georgie Haire is one of eight young leaders from across NSW who has been celebrated as a 2025 finalist of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s prestigious RAS Rural Achiever Award.

After completing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2020, Georgie moved closer to home to become more involved in her family farm, and in 2023 partnered to open a physiotherapy clinic in Narrabri.

Georgie has completed further studies in women’s health physiotherapy and plans to undertake further studies in rural generalist practice, to widen her skillset and help overcome healthcare accessibility barriers for people living in rural and remote communities.

Georgie has always been passionate about agriculture and is starting to take more responsibility in her family’s farming business with share farming.

Georgie has also been involved

with the Zone 4 Young Woman movement, striving to empower more young people to return and work in our smaller communities.

The award recognises individuals aged 20-29 who have distinguished themselves as future leaders in Australian agriculture and aims to support their development by offering a unique 8-day leadership program at the 2025 Sydney Royal Easter Show.

As part of the RAS Rural Achiever program, finalists will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and knowledge across a range of activities, including a public speaking showcase, and participate in various intensive professional development sessions and networking opportunities at Australia’s largest agricultural event.

One finalist will then be selected to represent New South Wales at the National Rural Ambassador Awards which is set to take

place in September 2026 at the Royal Adelaide Show.

The 2025 RAS Rural Achiever finalists are: Tasha Hurley, Condobolin; Jacob Moriarty, Canowindra; Brooke Watts, Molong; Katherine Munn, Albury; Georgina Haire, Wee Waa; James Gilmour, Bukkulla; James Stephens, Gresford; and Roy Elder, Wongarbon.

Rural Achiever Program councillor in charge Yvette McKenzie said the eight finalists chosen have all made outstanding contributions to rural and regional communities across NSW and have identified themselves as the leaders of the future.

“It is always incredibly rewarding to announce our RAS Rural Achiever Award finalists and recognise the impressive individual achievements and contributions these young leaders have made to their communities, and in such a short period of time,” Ms McKenzie said.

Wee Waa’s Georgie Haire is one of eight young leaders from across NSW who has been celebrated as a 2025 finalist of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s prestigious RAS Rural Achiever Award.

“The Rural Achiever and National Rural Ambassador programs play a significant role in arming the next generation of leaders with the skills and connections to help both their professional and personal lives moving forward, and it is a privilege to offer this opportunity to our very deserving 2025 finalists.”

The 2025 RAS Rural Achiever Award finalists will receive

a share in $17,000 prize money, complimentary one year RAS Membership, official Rural Achiever uniform provided by R.M.Williams and embroidered Akubra and opportunities to represent the RAS of NSW throughout 2025.

“We look forward to welcoming this year’s finalists to the 2025 Sydney Royal Easter Show for what will be an experience of a lifetime.”

More than $100,000 delivered for Moree Plains youth programs More than $100,000 in funding has now been awarded to community organisations to deliver engaging after-hours activities for young people in the Moree Plains Shire.

The boost in activities has seen young people from across the shire participate in diverse programs to build support networks, develop positive life skills, deepen their connection to culture and help them stay off the streets at night.

From boxing classes and rap workshops to representing Moree at prestigious sporting competitions, young people are getting actively involved and showcasing the breadth of talent in the region.

On October 25, Mad Proppa Deadly brought back the Moree Block Party for an incredible celebration of community, culture and music. In addition to community stalls, fantastic food and a stacked line-up of artists including Kobie Dee and Barkaa, a host of activities were run for young people including cultural dance, music workshops and weaving.

Founder Nate Weatherall said of the event “great things are built from the ground up, and the Moree Block Party showed that when a community comes together, we can create something really special, full of culture and creativity.”

Mungindi Local Aboriginal Land Council have been delivering after-school arts workshops to local kids, who have been busy practising their drawing and painting, and creating a story vision for a community mural through Aboriginal symbols and art.

In the coming weeks, they will work with Aboriginal artist Elenore Binge to paint their stories on a wall at the Land Council.

CEO Danielle Dent spoke about how excited the kids were to participate, even coming to the office when the program wasn’t running, and the interest and support from parents and community who can’t wait to see the finished product.

With the help of their trusty new van, Chalky’s Gym has seen a real increase in their after-school activities. They have already taken young people to other gyms outside Moree to improve their sparring techniques and will be taking some of their rising stars to interstate competitions to learn what it takes to compete in the big leagues and connect with other boxers and gyms.

Pro-boxer, Brocke Brown, said Chalky’s van has given him ‘the freedom to explore opportunities’ outside his neighbourhood,

Too often we hear that there is nothing for older kids to do in Moree - these programs are addressing that, and also building skills and valuable relationships at the same time. and that it ‘had made a huge difference’ in his life.

Head coaches Colin ‘Chalky’ Rice and Paul Sio said the bus had been a gamechanger for the gym’s outreach efforts, helping them reach more young people and support them to participate in activities.

The grants program also supported SHAE Academy to take a Mixed Under 15’s team to the National Indigenous Touch Football Knockout in Dubbo, where they were crowned the undefeated champions of the tournament.

Moree Plains Shire Council mayor Susannah Pearse said council is grateful for this significant investment in young people and community.

“Too often we hear that there is nothing for older kids to do in Moree - these programs are addressing that, and also building skills and valuable relationships at the same time,” Cr Pearse said.

“I strongly encourage any community, sporting groups and businesses to think about what would be great to have in the school holidays - and apply to deliver it.”

Deputy mayor Wayne Tighe said these initiatives play a vital role in helping individuals connect in meaningful ways.

“We appreciate the leaders who are behind these after-hours opportunities,” Cr Tighe said.

A number of other fantastic activities have also recently been funded, including: Yinarr Wellness Foundation received almost $10k to hold the ‘Yinarr Miyay Healing Series’ delivering cultural weaving and painting with Elders, cultural dance, life skills workshops and mindfulness/healing.

Toomelah GubuRa received $17k to continue delivering its touch football initiative

Proposed water rate rise a concern: MP Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan has warned the proposed unaffordable increases to rural water prices should concern everyone in the Northern Tablelands.

If implemented, the proposed increases will see a rise in costs of over 200 per cent in the next five years.

Water NSW and the Water Administration Ministerial Corporation recently submitted a pricing proposal to IPART which will affect all water-using regional businesses including farmers, graziers, manufacturers, Councils, and food processors.

In August this year, NSW Premier Chris Minns wrote to IPART on behalf of Sydney residents amid concerns of the rising cost of the capital’s water prices.

Mr Moylan is urging Mr Minns to do the same to look after rural communities.

“If it is good enough for Sydney water users to have their cost-ofliving pressures taken into account by the Premier, then regional and rural water users should also be shown the same level of support,” he said.

“The proposed price increases will greatly affect farmers, irrigators, graziers, councils, and all bulk water users which in turn will affect the rest of the community.

Mr Moylan filed a Notice of Motion in Parliament during the November sittings which called on the state Labor government to urgently intervene to ensure water prices remain fair and equitable

for everyone in regional NSW. “The proposed price increases are simply unaffordable for regional businesses and councils,” he said.

The state’s peak irrigators’ body, the NSW Irrigators’ Council, is also alarmed by the proposal and has urged stakeholders across industries to understand the implications by the new pricing structure.

The council’s chief executive officer Claire Miller said the pricing proposal recommends hiking water bills by 21-24 per cent every year for five years, adding up to $40,000 to a ‘typical’ farmer’s water bill by 2030.

“Many stakeholders are not fully informed about the proposed prices, leaving them at risk of being unprepared until it is too late,” Ms Miller said.

“This translates to the typical farmer with a high security entitlement paying $7924 more each year and the typical general security entitlement holder paying $3840 more each year.

“But WaterNSW’s typical farmer scenario masks IPART’s valley by valley pricing scenarios, in which different valleys are facing cumulative price increases of 200 per cent and more over five years.

These pricing increases are simply unaffordable – they will send family farms and other rural industries using water out of business.

“The water pricing model in NSW is fundamentally broken when Rural WaterNSW customers are currently covering 80-100 per

cent of both operating and capital expenses.

“Many of these costs are for public good services and activities on behalf of the broader community, such as environmental planning and protection, recreation, cultural and managed environmental flows, and the construction of fishways.

“It should not fall upon rural water customers to pay for these additional public good services.

“Rural water customers should be charged only to the extent of what it costs to deliver water, and that all other costs associated with water management should be shared across the community via the public purse.

“WaterNSW’s revenue requirements are rising faster than businesses’ capacity to pay. Rural water customers are already grappling with soaring input costs — interest rates, fuel, insurance, machinery, wages, and energy.

“This is not just about farmers; everyone will feel the pinch from racing, to manufacturing, mining, processing and competitive sports like golf.”

Landholders using irrigation are also facing higher water allocation prices due to state and Commonwealth environmental water recovery.

Few rural water customers can absorb these exorbitant increases in their water costs without severe financial distress.

“Price increases of this magnitude threaten the viability of small and medium family farms, leading

“The proposed price increases will greatly affect farmers, irrigators, graziers, councils, and all bulk water users which in turn will affect the rest of the community,” State Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan said in relation to a water rate rise proposal submitted by Water NSW to IPART. A draft decision is expected to be published by March next year.

to closures of businesses, lost employment, and a decline of industries critical to the economic and social wellbeing of regional communities,” Ms Miller said.

“If such drastic changes were proposed in any other sector, they would be met with widespread opposition. We cannot accept this unreasonable price rise and must make our position clear.”

In a statement released the day the pricing proposal was published, Water NSW said it has considered all options in keeping costs as low as possible.

“During its largest and most far-ranging engagement and consultation process to date,

WaterNSW spent almost two years listening and seeking input from customers, peak industry bodies and the community, focusing on highly valued services and reducing costs for the 2025-2030 proposal,” the statement read.

“IPART, as the independent pricing regulator, will closely review the WaterNSW pricing proposal to determine whether it provides value for money, is in the long-term interests of customers, and delivers the outcomes customers need and want.”

A draft decision is expected to be published in March 2025, with a final decision due in June 2025.

Property sales fuel speculation about school at Tambar Springs

By SAM WOODS

editorial@gunnedahtimes.com.au

Speculation about a snap sale of Tambar Springs rental properties is fuelling talk the local school could be forced to shut its doors.

A community meeting was held in Tambar Springs last week to discuss the viability of the primary school remaining open.

The meeting was hosted by the NSW Department of Education.

Bruce Hockings from the Tambar Springs Progress Association was among the attendees.

He said the school’s uncertainty stemmed from the recent sale of several homes in the village. The properties are among about 8-10 owned by the same landlord in Tambar Springs, including the local post office.

The properties are believed to have been purchased about a decade ago when it was not uncommon for houses to be sold for as

little as $50,000.

The price of homes in the village have more than doubled since then but are still well below the average in Gunnedah.

Mr Hockings said the corresponding high price of rent in Gunnedah was also driving more people out of town and into villages like Tambar Springs.

“I think [the Tambar homes] are selling because the rent in Gunnedah is horrendous,” Mr Hockings said.

Children in the Tambar area have the benefit of several schools in the area, including their nearest neighbours in Mullaley and Premer but also further away at Spring Ridge, Coolah and even Coonabarabran.

When the Tambar Springs community met for a discussion about the future of the school last week, definite numbers were not clear due to the housing situation.

“There was talk of some going to

Premer but only if their house was sold,” Mr Hockings said.

About half a dozen students are currently enrolled at Tambar but numbers have been as low as two in recent times.

Mr Hockings, who was a former pupil at Tambar Springs Public School, said the student numbers often fluctuated in waves depending on the season, employment and a myriad of other factors.

This includes bus services to other schools which pick up from the farm gate and siblings already enrolled at bigger schools.

He recalled Tambar’s student cohort being as strong as 100 when he started school but whittled down to about 30 by the time he finished.

Mr Hockings said Tambar’s school staff do a “great job” for the students with the resources they have but said realistically, the school’s continued operation is dependent on the Department

of Education and decision of individual families about where they send their children.

Premer Public School pupils returned to the classroom in 2022

after several years of the school in recess due to low student enrolment.

The NSW Department of Education was contacted for comment.

Take care during mosquito season: NSW Health NSW Health is reminding people to take measures to protect themselves from mosquito bites this summer season.

NSW Health’s executive director of health protection Dr Jeremy McAnulty said mosquitoes thrive in warm conditions, increasing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses such as Murray Valley encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses in parts of NSW. “Each year, NSW Health undertakes mosquito surveillance across NSW from November to April each year, which provides important information about when mosquito-borne disease risk is elevated,” Dr McAnulty said.

“As part of this routine surveillance Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus has been recently detected in a mosquito sample in Lake

Wyangan collected on December 3.

“This is a timely reminder, both to Griffith residents, and to anyone planning to spend time enjoying the outdoors, to take protective measures this summer against mosquitoes,” he said.

Information on eligibility for a free JE vaccine is available on the NSW Health website.

JE vaccine is available through local general practitioners, Aboriginal health services and pharmacists. People who meet the above criteria should make an appointment ahead of time and let them know it is for the JE vaccine.

These providers may require a few days’ notice so they can order the vaccine.

There have been no human cases of JEV in NSW since October 2022.

Mosquitos in NSW can

potentially carry a range of other viruses for which there are no vaccines including Murray Valley encephalitis, Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses.

Actions to prevent mosquito bites include: • Applying repellent to exposed skin. Use repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Check the label for reapplication times.

• Wearing light, loose-fitting long-sleeve shirts, long pants and covered footwear. and socks.

• Avoiding going outdoors during peak mosquito times, especially dawn and dusk.

• Using insecticide sprays, vapour dispensing units and mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes (mosquito coils should only be used outdoors in well-ventilated areas).

• Covering windows and doors

with insect screens and checking there are no gaps.

• Removing items that may collect water such as old tyres and empty pots from around your home to reduce the places where mosquitoes can breed.

• Using repellents that are safe for children. Most skin repellents are safe for use on children aged

YOUR PARTNER IN PRECISION

three months and older. Always check the label for instructions.

• Protecting infants aged less than three months by using an infant carrier draped with mosquito netting, secured along the edges.

• While camping, use a tent that has fly screens to prevent mosquitoes entering or sleep under a mosquito net.
