New year, new courts

The Binnaway Tennis Club has received an ace upgrade to its courts, after 30 years of surface wear and tear.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Secu r ing gover nment funding, War r umbungle Shire Council has been able to improve tennis facilities at Binnaway, creating a more contemporary surface by providing the club with s y nt h et i c g ra s s co u r t s , removable nets and a multipurpose court.

The multi-purpose space is ma r ked w ith l ines fo r both tennis and basketball, including hoops at each end.

Additional training oppor tunities were also

considered through a newly installed hit-up wall.

The project was completed in December with an official opening of the new courts planned for this Saturday, 20 January, taking the form of a casual afternoon of twilight tennis and a barbecue.

Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i r e Council director technical ser vices, Nicole Benson said the upgrades were designed to of fer long l a s t i ng benef it s fo r the community.

“This upgrade will enable tennis to revive itself

in Binnaway again and hopefully attract visitors from other towns in the Shire to competitions and the like,” Ms Benson said.

“The upgrades will meet community needs and can be used for a variety of purposes, including active and pas sive recreation and/or social or organised events.

“The multi-purpose court and hit-up wall are targeted towards younger people, with the view to attract this demographic to the facility and provide a place for socialising and recreation.”

Tennis is one of the only organised sports children can play in Binnaway and new facilities have been welcomed by the club to keep patrons safe and fit.

I n 2 019, s o ci a l te n n i s was created to provide the communit y w ith an o p p o r t u n i t y to p l a y i n various competitions.

Secretar y of Binnaway Tennis Club, Jane Phillips said memberships had since grown to 30 people weekly, and free clinics for children were also made possible during school holidays.

The club expects the new

courts will generate more interest and access to social and competitive events. “ T h e u p g ra d e s h a ve exceeded our expectation and it is great Council has come on board to support improvements to the club,” Mrs Phillips said.

“Our long-term plan is to try and get tournaments, or long-term comps happening with other clubs within the area.

“Both basketbal l and tennis are great for learning n ew s k i l l s a n d g et t i n g active. It provides kids with something positive to do.

“And, the bright colours are a really nice welcome to Binnaway!”

In 2024, the Binnaway Tennis Club will undergo fu r the r enhancements as Council has allocated $25,000 for roofing repairs and structural maintenance.

Mrs Phillips said the suppor t from Council was welcomed and complements last year’s renovations, having received Communit y Financial Assistance Donations to freshen up the amenities.

Chopper volunteers recognised Local volunteers who support the efforts of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service through fund-raising activities received deserved recognition at a recent dinner evening.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The Coonabarabran Suppor t Group has been raising funds for the service for over 20 years and has donated $32,4900 through various events and fund-raisers.

T he money r a i s e d pr ov ides the ser v ice with medical funds and secu res thei r abi l ity t o conti nue t o ser ve communities.

The Westpac Rescue H e l i c o p t e r pr o v id e s aeromedical service to over 1.5 million people across Northern NSW. The service is made possible through c o m mu n i t y s u p p o r t and the effor ts of volunteers in towns like Coonabarabran.

At the end- of-yea r dinner held in December, several members of the Coonabarabran Support Group were presented with Service Badges, recognising their years of service and time spent at fund-raising events.

Badges were presented to volunteers for five, 10,

15 and 20 years of service.

Amanda Sutherland was awarded a badge for her 20 years of service.

M rs Sutherland initially signed up after the Support Group asked her for ideas on how to host a charity golf event.

S u b s e q uent ly, s he became part of a service where she continues to share her passion for helping people and has contr ibut ed t o ma ny events over the years.

Her most memorable events have involved the back-to-front Debutante Ball, where the men dressed in white dresses and the woman in suits.

Mrs Sutherland also ment ione d t he M i s s Universe Ball where, again, men were required t o model sw i msu it s , perform a dance routine and share a talent before they modelled formal dresses.

The night when Mental As Anything performed in Coonabarabran was a lso mentioned as a highlight, along with the Yabbie Races each year.

“I continue to volunteer b e c au s e I s e e how important this service is, espe cia l ly i n ou r little community,” Mrs Sutherland said.

“We are located on a major highway, on the edge of a big national park. We have limited medical facilities in town.

“ K now i ng we have a chopper available if someone really needs it is amazing. “ Last year we were able to donate $24,000 to the service. This would not be possible without the support from the community, businesses, our sponsors and our

Debbie Barker, Casey Timmer, Jan Evans and Christine Solberg were all awarded their five-year service badges. Also receiving service badges were Sandra Franklin – 10 years, and Dianne Spittles, Jeanette Capewell, Adrian O’Neill, Maria Slade, Marilyn O’Neill, Wendy Kelly and Sandra Talle – 15 years.

Volunteering provides a wider reach for the suppor t g roup a nd creates opportunities to host bigger events. “ Supporting the Westpac R escue Helicopter saves lives and it is a great opportunity for all involved.”

Baradine support for RFDS The Dubbo Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) base has received a surprise donation from the Baradine community.

by LIZ CUTTS A g e n e r o u s contribution was presented to the lifes av i n g a e r o m e d i c a l service by local resident, Glenda Johnston.

Mrs Johnston presented the amount of $11,230 to the RFDS at their ‘Year in Review’ event held in Dubbo on Tuesday, 28 November.

She explained that the funds or ig inated from proceeds generated through offerings at the Baradine Presbyterian Church between 2003 and 2010.

“A decision needed to be made as to where the proceeds from the sale all those years ago should be directed,” Mrs Johnston said.

“The RFDS is there for everyone, it provides a vital medical-retrieval service to our town and we always support it whenever we can. “ L iv ing remotely makes us all ver y grateful for the RFDS, however, it relies on community donations to operate and I cannot think of a better recipient of this money.”

Greg Sam, CEO o f t he R F D S S out h Eastern Section, said the donation will have a

significant impact on the organisation’s ability to continue its mission and ensure essential medical services reach those who need them, regardless of their location.

“It was an honour to meet with Glenda and receive this wonderful

g i ft on behal f of the Baradine Presbyterian community,” Mr Sam said.

“Glenda travelled a long way to attend our ‘Year in Review’ event in Dubbo and deliver this sizeable donation. “ The Baradine

Stay safe these holidays SafeWork NSW is urging farmers and rural businesses to take practical steps to keep visitors to farms safe during the summer school holidays by restricting access to dangerous machinery and other hazardous risks.

With many farms and rural properties also the location of the family home, business managers should warn all visitors and especially children of dangerous ‘no go zones’, including higher-risk hazards like silos, chemicals and workshops, animals, quad bikes, electrical and water hazards.

To make sure visitors are aware of specific dangers, SafeWork recommends compiling a list of farm safety rules specific for visitors to keep them safe.

There are a number of easy tasks you can perform before visitors arrive, including: • Identifying ‘no go’ areas to keep visitors away from working areas of the farm; • Make sure visitors know to stay out of fenced areas and away from livestock which are unpredictable;

• Store plant, equipment, tools and chemicals securely and remove the keys from quad bikes, side-by side vehicles (SSV) and tractors; • Don’t let quad bikes, SSV’s or tractors be used for rides; • Make sure all passengers in SSV’s wear a seat belt and never carry passengers in the rear cargo tray; • Never allow a child under 16 on an adult sized quad bike and never allow passengers; • Ensure all guards are fitted to power take offs or PTO’s, augers and other equipment; • Cover voids, pits and other falls risks; • Empty water drums and alert visitors to dams, water courses and other drowning hazards; • Ensure silo ladders and top hatch access is locked; • Ensure all confined

spaces, like tanks and silos are not accessible; • Set up safe delivery areas to load and unload livestock or product that separates people and vehicles; and • Supervise children at all times – especially around machinery, dams and sheds.

NSW Farmers Dubbo Branch chair Tracy Blackburn said farms weren’t just homes.

“Farms are also workplaces that need to be treated with respect,” Ms Blackburn said.

“If you’re going to be visiting a farm, take the time to have a conversation about some of the potential safety risks such as dams, livestock, and vehicles.

“With a few safety precautions, you will ma ke s ur e e ve r yo ne has a happy and safe holidays.”

Event organiser, Zoe Holcombe said the slide had been hit with those c e l e br at i n g t he d ay and helped encourage the community to get together for some fun. “the Golf Club hold s g r e at pr ide i n hosting Australia Day - it g ives s ometh i ng for the community to look forward to and is a g reat day out,” Ms Holcombe said. “ It may not be everyone’s cup of tea these days, but we can let those who want to gather and celebrate, do so without judgment.”

L ive music w i l l be featured throughout the afternoon, with country musician, Sarah Leete, performing up until the awards ceremony.

Ms Leete is a graduate of the CMA A A c ademy of C ou nt r y Music in Tamworth and regularly performs at music festivals across the state.

She will be travelling from Narrabri to Coonabarabran to share her or ig inal songs and covers.

S i z z l i n g s au s a g e s on the barbecue will cover lunch, alongside slushies of all flavours and colours.

A nother feature of the day is the free courtesy bus running from 2.30pm onwards. “ O u r c ou r t esy bus will pick you up and d r ive you home, so there’s no excuse on why you can’t come,” Ms Holcombe said. “ We a r e l o ok i n g forward to seeing a lot of people du r i ng the day or at the evenings program.”

Duck Creek Fire extinguished The Duck Creek Fire was one of the biggest fires to ever hit the Pilliga Forest, burning more than 130,000 hectares - more than a quarter of the vast scrub - before being officially extinguished early January.

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...

How d id you come to l i ve i n Coonabarabran? My partner grew up here, got some work this way and dragged me here. Honestly, the best move I have had.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Working at EB Games. I got to spend all my time with video games and I made friends with excellent people. It was a lot of fun.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Beers a n d v i d e o g a m e s . Wo r l d o f Warcraft is one of my favourites.

How would your friends and family describe you in th ree words?

Troublemaker, loud and hopefully a good friend.

What is something memorable that happened over the holiday period? Had a lot of close family come over for New Year’s Eve. People I hadn’t seen for a long time. We had a blast.

Would you rather be able to create a new language or create a new holiday? New language - the ways humans communicate is fascinating.

Have you read any good books lately? In the last 20 years I’ve read one book and it was Stephen King’s ‘Cell’. It was about a virus that went through mobile phones and turned people in to zombies.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? Travel the world, learn to paint, and perfect the

burger (explanation to follow).

If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? Henry Cavil, Pedro Pascal and Corey Taylor.

And what would you cook them? I make a mean burger. It’s all in the sauce and a good smashed patty.

Do you have a hidden talent? I play music and grew up playing saxophone. I can also take a computer apart blindfolded and put it back together again.

If you could pick a decade to visit on a time machine what would it be? The Renaissance period or just before modern English. I think that would be fascinating.

Do you have a favourite community event or group? I tell everyone to get involved with the Coonabarabran Celtic Club. I was learning bagpipes with those guys and they were a lot of fun.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? The night before Good Things Festival in December, last year. Some friends and I went out to a random pub and had an amazing night.

W h a t a r e y o u r N e w Ye a r Resolutions? All the bucket list things and losing weight from the beers I enjoy.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Just focus on yourself.

Who should we chat to next? Doug King.

RFS were joined by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, State Forests and strike forces from the Blue Mountains and coastal regions.

Due to accumulated moisture from past wet seasons, an extensive amount of ground-level fuel loads contribnuted to the intense burning of the fire.

W hile erratic wind conditions quickly spread the smoke to Dubbo, Tamworth and eventually 500 kilometres away to Sydney.

The Duck Creek Fire was one of the largest across the nation.

Narrabri RFS district ma n ager, M ich ael Brooks said the RFS was appreciative of those who assi st ed on the fireground.

Mr Brooks said the un-forecasted rain t h r o u g h o ut t he e nd of December aided immensely in helping br i ng the f i re under control.

At one point, within 24 hours, 93 millimetres of rain was dumped, south of Narrabri.

The rain was a welcomed reprieve to emer g en c y s er v ic e s , however, RFS remain on watch as the official bushfire season continues to the end of March.

“ We a re ex pe cti ng minor re-ignitions from stumps and root systems burning under ground,” Mr Brooks said.

“There are lighter fires currently burning from other lighting strikes the leaves can fall and ignite small areas.

“People should prepare at all times and reduce fuel around their assets and access roads.

“A fire only takes a few of those extreme days where it hits close to 40 degrees and humidity drops down to a single f ig u re. T hen we add lighting on top of that!”

The gas wells connected to the Narrabri Gas Project were also affected and the threat of

bushfire has been raised as one of the reasons why the project should not go ahead.

Mr Brooks said the outcome was that the fire had restricted access to the gas zones and Santos had shut down present day operations.

The Coonabarabran Times has repeatedly reached out to Santos for comment, but at the time of print, had not received a response.

The outcome of animal lives and habitats had also raised concern after the fire.

“A hazard reduction burn was conducted by NPWS and Australian Wildlife Conservancy within the fenced area in 2022. This mitigated potential risk to protected wildlife.

“The presence of fire trails on either side of the perimeter fence creates a n add itiona l bu f fer around the enclosure.”

Threatened species safe from Pilliga fire Conservationists have breathed a collective sigh of relief knowing that a group of reintroduced native animal species were not in danger from the Duck Creek fire in the Pilliga Forest.

by LIZ CUTTS While the full impact of the devastating blaze is yet to be determined, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) h a s c o n f i r m e d t h at bilbies, bridled nail-tail wallabies, plains mouse and other reintroduced spe c ies i n the Fera l P r e d at or F r e e A r e a (FPFA) near Narrabri were not affected by the fire.

“A total of 138,554 hectares of dense bushland were burnt in the blaze that started just before the fe s t ive s e a s on ,” t he spokesperson said. “ T he f i r e c a me t o w ith i n 10kms of the FPFA, however, smoke wa s not a n i s sue t o wildlife protected within the fenced area.

“A hazard reduction burn was conducted by NPWS and Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) within the fenced a rea i n 2 02 2 , wh ich mitigated potential risk to protected wildlife.

“Multiple other mosaic block burns have been c onduc t ed i n P i l l iga State Conservation Area (SCA) over the past few years to reduce the risk from wildfires, and the

presence of fire trails on either side of the perimeter fence creates a n add it iona l bu f fer around the enclosure.”

T he est abl ish ment of the massive feralpredator-free enclosure has been the key to the successful reintroduction of the bi lby i nt o the Pilliga and allowing the gradual addition of more native species that have been extinct in the area for more than 100 years.

in any fire planning, whether for w i ld f i re response or pla n ned burns in the area.”

N PWS has adv ised that all sites and areas which were closed during the Duck Creek fire are now open to the public,

with the exception of the Sandstone Caves walking track in the Pilliga Nature Reserve.

This will remain closed until further notice, due to a rockfall hazard, which is a separate issue to the fire.

In March, the Coonabarabran community came together for the town’s first ever Pride event – ‘Pride in the Park.’

A monumental day for the community and LGBTQ+ youth across the region, the event was facilitated by local suicide prevention network, Yarn Support Connect, providing a low key and family-friendly event with markets, music, and education resources, advocating for the LGBTQ+ community in the Warrumbungle Shire.

We at the Coonabarabran Times were proud to have been sponsors for such a significant community event.

April

April was an exciting month of news, with a particularly exciting event that doesn’t happen so often.

Early in the month, the time capsule at Coonabarabran Public School, that had been buried near the school’s multipurpose courts since 1995, was finally unearthed in an exciting event both for those whose items were in the capsule, and the school’s current staff and students.

The day also saw the unveiling of the school’s newly-constructed shade shelter at the multipurpose courts.

The courts were officially named the Gavin Ginn Multipurpose courts in honour of the late teacher’s commitment to the school and to sport.

March: Inaugural Pride in the Park event held

April: Coona Public School time capsule unearthed

May saw some more exciting school celebrations, as Coonabarabran High School celebrated its 50th anniversary with a fun-filled weekend of festivities.

A Binnaway property also made the headlines this month, after a crime taskforce raided an illicit tobacco farm.

It was reported that more than 77,000kg of illicit tobacco had been seized and destroyed at the Binnaway property, with the tobacco on the site having a combined potential excise value of more than $11.9 million.

June

In June, dust settled on another successful North West Equestrian Expo, with mostly clear weather – an unusual occurrence – throughout the 31st year of the event.

This month, two locals were also recognised for their efforts in the community as they were awarded with Order of Australia medals.

Former mayor, Peter Shinton, OAM was recognised for his service to local government, and to the community of Coonabarabran.

Donna Burton, OAM, or ‘Donna the astronomer’ as many would know her, was recognised for her services to science and astronomy.

Towards the end of June, the Coonabarabran Times team celebrated the launch of our second magazine, wattle 2.0, with a night of bevies and nibbles, along with some readings from our talented writers and photographers.

Coonabarabran Times

Looking back on 202 3

Prepared by JIMMY WHALAN

July

July kicked off with a week of exciting NAIDOC Week celebrations, including Coonabarabran’s first ever NAIDOC Ball, hosted by Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council.

The night saw local Indigenous achievers recognised for their efforts in the community and featured some fantastic live music by performers Isaac Compton and Mitch Tambo.

July also saw the departure of two local doctors, Dr Judith Larnach, from Coonabarabran Area Medical Centre, and Dr Jackson Blythe, from Warrumbungle Medical Centre.

August

July: First NAIDOC Ball held in Coonabarabran

In August, Council announced plans to provide some much-needed relief to Warrumbungle Shire residents, deciding to offer free pool entry to the six Council pools across the Shire.

August also saw some ‘mad scientists’ from Coonabarabran Public School make the front page, as the Times did a special feature celebrating all things Science Week.

This feature included celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the UK-Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring, some ‘memories on the mountain’ from renowned astronomer Professor Fred Watson, and school Science Week celebrations.

August: Coona Public students enjoy Science Week

September

September saw the retirement of a local icon as barber John “Chimp” Franklin decided to hang up the clippers.

Chimp’s presence in his main street barber shop had been a place many locals and travellers would go for a haircut, conversation, and a good laugh for the last 67 years.

As Chimp moves on to another chapter, he leaves behind a legacy of good old-fashioned service and friendship; a character embedded into the history of Coonabarabran.

October

October kicked off with Siding Spring Observatory’s annual StarFest events, with its annual Open Day, Science in the Pub and Bok Lecture events held over the October long weekend.

The Coonabarabran Times was also recognised with award wins at the 2023 Country Press NSW Awards of Excellence.

Our wonderful director, Lynne Estens attended the awards ceremony in Sydney and left with several awards including ‘Best Special Publication’ for wattle magazine and ‘Best Print Advertisement’ for Bungle Rumble.

The month ended on a high with the annual action-packed Coona Cup weekend including the Yabbie Races and Calcutta on the Saturday, and the races and fashions on the Sunday.

November started with a blast from the past, as the stunning mural of the Warrumbungle Mountains that was once displayed at the Miniland Museum was announced to be making a return home to Coonabarabran – to be displayed at another of our local treasures, Crystal Kingdom.

Coona High’s furry friend, Bear, also made the front page this month and was one of our favourite photo-ops of the year – he’s so photogenic!

Former local woman, Sammy Smith stunned at the Melbourne Cup with her dazzling green and gold dress, and was a winner of Fashions on the Field on the day.

Despite the wet conditions, November ended on a high note, with the community enjoying a night of music, food, and good vibes at Coonabarabran’s second Bungle Rumble.

Entertainment on the night included cultural dances by local dance group Yulugi-Mari, as well as tunes from Millie Mills, Rebel Black, Isaac Compton, Ballz N All, Andy Penkow and, of course, the headline act, Chocolate Starfish.

December was a month full of burning news, with firefighters responding to several blazes throughout the month.

These fires included a fire in the canteen building at Coonabarabran Public School where a swift response prevented major damages, a grassfire just south of town caused by a damaged power pole, and three fires in the Pilliga Forest caused by lightning strikes.

December finished on a high note, however, with graduating Year 12 students from Coonabarabran High School receiving some impressive results in their HSC examinations.

Navigating new beginnings TOP 10 ALTERNATIVE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS 1. Practice gratitude daily: Make a habit of expressing gratitude for the positive aspects of your life each day.

The new year can be a catalyst for aspirations and transformations, but knowing how to turn dreams into reality can take courage and persistence.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Wa n t i n g t o c r e a t e c h a n g e i s a n a t u r a l psychological process.

A 2014 paper by psychologists Hengchen Dai, Katherine Milkman, and Jason Riis demonstrated how individuals structure change according to “landmark” moments, such as the New Year.

The study found people were more likely to tackle their goals immediately after significant moments.

The paper aimed to understand willpower and suppor ted individuals to overcome impulsive behaviour.

Google’s most commonly searched trends over the 2024 new year were health, gym memberships, saving money, travel and sustainability.

Fit4All Coonabarabran manager, Effie Karavas, said she had seen a noticeable increase in gym memberships at the beginning of each year.

Mrs Karavas encouraged individuals to set fitness goals without excessive focus on the physical outcome.

“People like to start the year with good intentions and the new year brings an opportunity to start fresh,” said Ms Karavas.

“Set realistic goals - the main message is keep it simple and keep going. “ P h y s i c a l h e a l t h i s f u n d a m e n ta l l y a b o u t movement and keeping active.”

Over the New Year many resolutions are made, but some are not always followed through.

Making goals Guts Healthy Guts Happy wellness coach, Jess Ford recognised how individuals have the desire to change, but said the drive to change was different.

She said a lack of motivation could be attributed to a lack in self confidence or it could all just feel too hard.

“Human beings tend to not like change and stay with their normal behaviour/ lifestyle patterns,” Mrs Ford said.

“Most people fail thei r New Year resolution

because the change is too dramatic - it becomes too uncomfortable and feels like they are missing out on the pleasures in life.”

Ms Ford said to start small.

“Create two small changes and make it the norm.

“Set a date you want start and achieve your goals by and have it somewhere you see it daily and reward yourself along the way.”

Environmental factors and a lack of a supportive community or family can also be inhibitors to change.

Ms Ford said to reach out and be vocal about your achievements to feel less alone.

Money matters Another popular resolution of the year involved saving money.

Government-owned enterprise, Moneysmar t showed financial goals could be met through small changes to everyday spending.

Recommendations incl uded cancel l ing unnecessar y subscriptions, automating bills to reduce late fees and learning how to create a budget.

Rene Bennett, author of the ‘30 Days Savings Rule’ said to wait a month before committing to a purchase, instead of falling to the temptation of an impulse buy.

She said the time provided consumers with an opportunity to evaluate what was necessary and how it might impact financial goals.

F o r m i ng hea lthy hab it s a round reso l uti ons appears to be the key to fulfilling what an individual desired and retaining a positive mindset.

Life is often progressing in unknown ways and change is a natural occurrence.

Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said “The only constant is change. Everything changes and nothing remains still; and you cannot step twice into the same stream.”

YOUR SAY: Do you have any New Year’s Resolutions?

Penelope Bunner: I want to be a good year 5/6 buddy.

Carla Gill: I have looked after kids for years, so this year I want to find a job.

Savannah Robbins: I just want to spread kindness.

Talisen Magee: I am going to go to the gym more.

Stella Bunner: I want to read big chapter books and finish reading my ‘Dragon Girls’ collection.

Baradine’s cricketers win local derby Coonabarabran’s senior cricket team travelled to Baradine last Saturday for the local derby against Baradine.

Coona won the toss and elected to bat. They started very well, with openers Nick Willoughby and James Moffat taking the score to 43 in the 10th over before Nick was dismissed for 26.

The side then collapsed and were all out for 53 in the 19th over, no other batsman reaching double figures.

Chief destroyers with the ball for Baradine were Orlando Bunner (6-8) and Craig McGlashan (3-10) Baradine’s reply

was quite measured and, while wickets fell regularly, they passed Coona’s total in the 20th over, four wickets down.

Cheyenne Pennell (24 n.o.) and Will Nash (10) were the main contributors with the bat, while Cameron Whittall (2-8) was the most successful of the Coona bowlers.

Coona’s next game is against Town Services here in Coona this coming Saturday, 20 January.

The team is hoping for a much-improved performance in that game – particularly with the bat.

Golfers tee off for 2024 Welcome to 2024!

Stra ight i nt o the golfing program we had the Coonabarabran Golf Club’s monthly medal, with 21 players coming along for a hit.

The winner for A-Grade was Brad Weatherall, net 70, with Frank Nottle the runner-up with 72.

I n B - Grade, Nea l Percival took the win with 69 – and also won the Shoot Out. Kerry Vallette was runner-up with 73.

NTP’s went to Stass on the 4th and Butter on the 17th.

The ball pool was won

by R Pearson, G Keppie, F Clifton and D Moore.

I had one card given to me due to the following, 40 (23 points) on the front nine and on the back nine not sure what happened, but things seemed to go very, very bad – 55 (11 points). Better luck next time, but these things will get written up as it’s sort of funny. Probably not to

the person who owns the card though!

O n S a t u r d a y, 1 3 January, from a field of 18 players the winner on a count back was Frank Nottle, with 36 points.

Ball winners were G Keppie 36, R Bailey 34, S Morrissey 31 and R Pearson 31.

Not only did Michael Mulholland supply the 2024 Cup quinella – Sea Of Flames and Athena’s Lad – the Dubbo trainer has now won three of the last four Gilgandra Cups.

Mulholland won the 2021 Cup with Universal Thief, ridden by Kath Bell-Pitomac, and last year it was Cheptegei, with Serg Lisnyy in the saddle.

Shayleigh Ingelse, who is apprenticed to Michael Mulholland, rode Sea Of Flames this year, with Nick Heywood aboard the stablemate Athena’s Lad, which was resuming after a six-months break and first up over 1600 metres.

Not To o Bad a nd M a c c h i n a Vo l a nt e shared the lead before Shayleigh Ingelse shot Sea Of Flames to the front approaching the

home turn.

Athena’s Lad ($7), from midfield, finished gamely to be beaten a short neck

by Sea Of Flames ($6 to $5), with Turgenev (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.60) rushing home from near last to grab third from the $3.20 favourite, Not Too Bad. Popu l a r Gi lga nd r a trainer Kieren Hazelton prepares both Turgenev and Not Too Bad and he was in the winner’s circle two days later when War Toy, ridden by Clayton Gallagher, was a stylish winner at Orange.

Feature sprint on Cup day was the 1100 metres Gilgandra Town Plate and Dubbo-trainer Clint Lundholm had the first two home – Beauchamp and Raging Rush.

Lundholm, who provided an interesting interview at the Calcutta night, told the audience his runners were both top chances and it turned out that way, with a headand-head battle down the

straight.

B e auch a mp (Ja ke Pracey-Holmes, $2.80) prevailed by a head over Raging Rush ( Ronald Simpson, $2 favourite), with Sir Donald ( Will Stanley, $17) less than a length away, third.

Coona-trained winner Bra ith No ck , who i s b ot h a suc c e s s f u l apprentice jockey and a talented bull rider on the rodeo circuit, starred with four winners on Cup day at Gilgandra – Cheeky Secrets ($8.50), Off The Press ($1.35 fav), Turbo Charged, $2.35 fav) and Precious Socks, $12).

Cody Morgan, from Tamworth, is the trainer of both Off The Press ( M a i d e n P l a t e) a n d Turbo Charged (Maiden Hand icap), while Cheeky Secrets (Maiden Handicap) is trained at Coonabarabran by Wayne Martyn, and Precious Socks at Dubbo by Cindy Monaghan.

A last-start winner at Moree, Precious Socks

(Braith Nock, $12) charged home from midfield at Gilgandra to win the 1100 metres Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap f rom R ock in’ Ed ition (Ken Dunbar, $4 equal fav) and Benyatta (Mitch Stapleford, $21).

Owners of P recious S ocks include T im Moses and Moree-based bookmaker, Terry Picone.

Cup-winning trainer Michael Mulholland had a big day as he also won the 1800 metres Coo-ee Cup Class 3 Handicap with Capaldi ($4), ridden

by Serg Lisnyy.

Dubbo trainer Brett Robb and jockey Clayton Gallagher combined with Nannu ($3.30 fav), the last-str ide w i n ner of the 1200 metres Class 2 Handicap Curators Jarryd Eason and Grant Zell have the track in great order and Gilgandra will next race on Saturday, 10 February, with the Tooraweenah Cup meeting.

AROUND THE TRAPS LADIES’ GOLF A new year and, with it, some new lady golfers.

One in particular, Kat Christoff, started the year by w inning last week’s stableford with a wonder f u l s c or e of 37 points, sending the r e g u l a r l ady g ol fe r s bac k t o t he d r aw i n g boa rd . Welcome, a nd well done Kat. Bigger and better days ahead.

Coming a close second was Kerrie Ward, with 36 points.

Jan Keppie won a ball on a count back from Donna Salisbury.

New Year’s resolution – better control of the ba l l , ke ep my he ad dow n a nd reduce my handicap. I do believe I have said this every ye a r fo r t he l a s t 10 years. Let’s hope this year is when it all comes together.

The course is having a bit of a struggle at the moment needing, would you believe, more rain.

S a nd r a M c C aw i s having a good start to 2 02 4 scor i ng a ‘ Hole in One’ at Nelson Bay. T his is a goal we all strive for but, achieved by on ly a sele c t few.

Congratulations.

Humour A police officer stopped a young man for speeding and asked him nicely if she could see his licence.

He replied in a huff, “I wish you guys would get your act together – just yesterday you took away my licence and then today, you expect

me to show it to you.”

Knitting A highway patrolman pul led a longside a sp e e d i n g c a r on t he h i g h w a y. G l a n c i n g at the ca r he was astounded to see that the woman behind the wheel was knitting!

R ea l isi ng that she wa s obl iv iou s t o h i s f l a s h i n g l i g ht s a n d siren, he cranked down h i s w i n d o w, t u r n e d on his bull horn and yelled, “Pull over.” “ No,” the woman y e l l e d b a c k , “ I t ’s a scarf!”

Learn to swim program makes a splash

Royal Life Saving NSW has hosted its annual SwimVac program at Coonabarabran and Baradine pools over the past two weeks, encouraging kids in the bush to learn vital skills in and around the water.

Regional areas suffered almost double the rate of drownings compared to metropolitan areas from 2022 to 2023.

Swimming is a life-long sk i l l and needs to be practiced regularly at all ages.

To a i d ch i l d re n i n understanding their l i m i t s a n d to m a n a g e risk awareness, national

swimming and water safety programs are engaged to educate children.

Programs such as the Swim and Survive SwimVac Prog ram, faci l itated by Royal Live Savi ng (RL S) NSW, are held throughout the state.

Coo n a ba ra b ra n a nd Baradine Pools have been with the program since its beginnings and run for two

weeks over the summer holidays, with the option to enrol for five or 10 days.

RLS NSW swimming and life saving manager, Renee Amidy said more kids were joining the program each year.

“RL S is empower ing o u r r u ra l ch i l d re n w it h the invaluable life skills of water safety and swimming through participation in

the SwimVac program,” Ms Amidy said.

“Consi stent ex posu re to swimming activities is really important for kids of all ages so they don’t lose the skills they’ve learned. “ I n t h e s e l e s s o n s we include several benefits of essential survival skills for rural children about navigating waters, res i l i e n ce a n d g a i n i n g

confidence to stay afloat in adversity.”

Aligned with the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework, Sw i mVac encompas ses water safety benchmarks.

The benchmarks var y from a beginner who needs assistance floating and moving through the water, to advanced levels for children over five.

Ad va n ce d s w i m m e r s need to be able to swim 15 metres unassisted, using various strokes, and be able to tread water unassisted.

The program teaches children of all abilities how to swim and learn personal safety skills.

S w i m Va c c a t e r s t o children from five to 14, with parent classes held for children under three years.

Retiring CSD MD played key role in cotton industry After decades of leading Cotton Seed Distributors’ successful and expanding operations, Peter Graham officially retired as managing director in December.

People from across the spectrum of the cotton industry and wider community gathered at CSD’s Shenstone plant in Wee Waa on December 18 to offer congratulations to Peter and Belinda Graham.

CSD chief executive officer Dr Ian Taylor was MC for the occasion with speakers including CSD chair Tony Quigley and Mr Graham’s work colleagues, Brett Ross, Bruce Cowan, Fiona Campbell, James Quinn and Jesse Nancarrow offering their thanks and appreciation for his mentorship, friendship and service to CSD and the industry.

They reflected on Mr Graham’s ‘dedication, diplomacy, attention to detail and care for his CSD staff’ - he has been a key player in an important Australian industry for three decades.

In response, Mr Graham said he had the help and guidance of great people during his tenure at CSD. “It has been an amazing journey”he said.

He had appreciated the strong support and advice from mentors and colleagues and paid tribute to those who had supported his role at CSD to ‘make sure we are delivering what the growers need.’

The function brought together Mr Graham’s industry colleagues

from the years which saw significant developments in cotton science and technologies and the major expansion in the scope of the Australian cotton industry.

As a CSD board member and managing director, Mr Graham was actively engaged as a key driver in CSD’s pivotal role in the growth of the industry .

“We celebrate the achievements of Peter Graham over his 21 years as managing director and 33 years as a CSD board director,” Dr Taylor said.

“This extraordinary CSD site is the result of an amazing vision that Peter began some 16-17 years ago. And its not just about the site but an ambition for CSD to be a global as well as national company, supplying Australian cotton growers with the best germplasm in the world, the best technology and the best seed treatments.

“Through the development of strong relationships and tough negotiation Peter has transformed CSD into a company that partners with the leading agribusiness organisations both globally and scientifically, namely CSIRO, Monsanto, now Bayer, and Syngenta.

“This CSD site was built to serve Australian cotton growers for the next 15-20 years and could not have been built but for those relationships and agreements, and without Peter’s vision.

“This site stands testament to both Peter and Belinda Graham, because Peter could not have achieved all that he has without strong support by his side.

“At former CSD chairman John Grellman’s funeral in December, Peter paid tribute to the great mentorship that he received from John, and described John as a ‘true gentleman’.

“During his tribute Peter used another word – statesman, which is a skilled experienced and respected leader.

“I think statesman sums up Peter very well.

“He has left an indelible mark upon CSD. For as long as CSD and these buildings and site remain this will always be your second home and you will always be welcome,” Dr Taylor said.
