Local nurse scoops award Coonabarabran registered nurse Garima Nepal has taken out the Pauline Webster-Cox award for New to Practice Nurse of the Year, announced

by Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) on Friday, 12 May, during International Nurses Day celebrations.

In addition, awards were presented for Nurse of the Year, Team of the Year, the District’s inaugural Nursing/ Midwifer y Leader of the Year and Aboriginal Nurse/Midwife of the Year.

Adrian Fahy, WNSWLHD Executive Director of Quality, Clinical Safety and Nursing, congratulated all nominees and award winners, saying they were never people who seek accolades, but who thoroughly deserve them.

“Our nurses are the frontline across our health system. They, along with all our midwives, continued to do an incredible job, providing first-class care to our communities through another challenging year,” Mr Fahy said.

“Their warmth, compassion and ded ication conti nues to p rovide empathy and care in every patient interaction. The skills, leadership and communication our winners have d e m o n s t rate d i s a tes ta m e nt to their talent and drive to continue developing.”

Mr Fahy announced the following winners, who were presented with their awards at local celebrations across the District.

• Nurse of the Year: Rachel (Simone) Purtell (Registered Nurse, Narromine Health Service); • Te a m o f t h e Ye a r : Wa l g et t Multipurpose Service Nursing Team; • New to Practice Nurse of the Year: Garima Nepal (Graduate Registered Nurse, Coonabarabran Health Service); • Aboriginal Nurse/Midwife of the Year: Lee-Ann Hurst (Clinical Nurse Specialist Ambulatory Care, Bathurst Hospital); • Nursing/Midwifery Leader of the Year: Madeleine McKenzie-Lindgren (Nurse Unit Manager Cardiac Catheter Laboratory, Dubbo Hospital).

Along with Garima Nepal, other local nominations for the awards included Narelle Andrews – Aboriginal Nurse of the Year; Tracey Pickette – Leader of the Year; and Coonabarabran Health Service – WNSWLHD Nursing and

Midwifery Team of the Year.

Ms Nepal said she was extremely honoured to receive her award, which recognised ‘demonstrated excellence in care and leadership, attaining a high-level skillset which has allowed to manage complex situations with minimal support, and her opinions and advice are valued highly by her colleagues. Garima commenced a pathway of learning to allow early transition to undertake triage and emergency department work, takes every opportunity to support colleagues and learn new skills, and always goes above and beyond in providing care’.

As a small child, Garima had dreams of becoming a doctor, however, she was inspired by her brother to move to Australia and study nursing like him. So, in 2018, she packed up her life, leaving family and friends behind in Chitwan, Nepal, population 700,000, for a better life.

She undertook her training at the Australian Catholic University in Sydney alongside her brother, who is now working as a nurse in the USA. When the opportunity arose to come to Coonabarabran, Garima and her partner jumped at the chance, arriving in Februar y 2022 with their golden retriever, Leo. Garima said she enjoys the country lifestyle, being able to travel around seeing the countryside and relaxing with a good book. She continues to embrace and continue her culture with her love of Nepalese/Indian music, cooking mainly Nepalese food of rices and curry, and her Hindu faith.

In accepting her award, Ms Nepal thanked her fellow staff members and said she was grateful for the support she has received within the community. When asked if there was there one thing that made her job here in Coonabarabran so special, she said she had recently received some kind words from a very sick patient and “it was a very personal experience that I hold in my heart.”

New owners for historic Crystal Kingdom Anyone with nostalgic memories of Crystal Kingdom will enjoy visiting the museum again, with new owners planning to preserve history while conducting renovations.

by JIMMY WHALAN Coonabarabran’s unique c ol le c t ion of cr yst a ls , fossils and minerals from t h e Wa r r u m b u n g l e s , which has been the work of two local families, has recently been handed to new ow ners , K en a nd Debbie Newton.

I was once a regular cust omer at C r ysta l K i ngdom , so it was a bittersweet moment to b e i nt er v iew i n g Nol a Bredereck on her last day at Crystal Kingdom.

When I sat down with Nola, she told me about the histor y of Cr ystal Kingdom and how a unique set of local crystals had

become a world-recognised collection. “ Brian Head and Wo l f g a n g B r e d e r e c k were involved from the beg inning of Crystal K ingdom, when in the early 1970s, Brian and Janet Head found these u n ique cr ysta ls,” M rs Bredereck explained. “ Wolfgang and a few others suggested that they should open a museum – which they did in 1974.”

A nd so, Crystal Kingdom was born.

Twenty-two years later, in 1996, the Bredereck family purchased Crystal K ingdom, with the museum being run by Nola and Wolfgang Bredereck.

The couple made major expansions to the museum to include their own family fossil collection and their cr ysta l a nd mi nera l collection from the local district.

They even expanded the building itself to include a crystal shop where the prev ious museum had been.

“The museum is unique in that it is a single district collection which showcases a 36 0 -million-year-old geological history,” Mrs Bredereck said.

Of particular interest in the museum are some rare 200-million-year-old Zeolite crystals.

T hese cr ystals were

formed from the eruption of the Garawilla volcano, which created a massive pile of pyroclastic debris and lava flows over a large area.

“The Bredereck family is so pleased that the legac y of t h i s u n ique and important collection, which has been recognised by ma ny scientists as the ‘ f i nest of its k i nd i n the world’, w i l l be preserved for the benefit of the C o onaba rabra n c om mu n it y,” M r s Bredereck said. “ We’ve had a happy life here and the Newton family are exactly the right people to take over the shop, because they love

the area.”

W hen I asked the new ow ners , K en a nd Debbie New ton, about thei r f utu re pla ns for Crystal K ingdom, they said their main goal is t o ke ep t he bu s i ne s s going as is, with hopes to preserve the collection for the Coonabarabran community to enjoy.

Crystal K ingdom will celebrate its 50th anniversary in August next year and owner, Mr Newton, said he hopes the business will keep r u n n i ng wel l i nt o the f utu re – hopef ul ly for another 50 years.

W hen it came to purchasing Cr ystal

K ingdom, the Newtons said that it was almost a spu r of the moment purchase and that it was their granddaughter’s love of crystals that inspired them to take on ownership of the business.

Mr and Mrs Newton’s daughter, A ngela, has been helping to run the shop with her parents and said that she would love to involve the schools more with the museum, so students can learn more about the interesting and unique geology of the local area.

Angela also said that, mov ing forward, there a re pla n s t o i nc rease Crystal Kingdom’s social

media presence as well as updating the website to accommodate online purchases.

Though the Newtons hop e t o pr e s e r ve t he museum collection and maintain the history of the museum, they are also planning a facelift, with some renovations aimed at giving Crystal Kingdom a new life as it moves into this exciting new era.

The Newton family have extended their thanks to Nola for helping them to learn the ropes over the last few months and are excited to pass on her wealth of knowledge of our spectacular local geology.

A bleatin’ good welcome to Coona Coonabarabran’s dedicated welcoming committee has hooves and horns!

by CHRIS WARD There is a sight so common on the westbound entrance to town that it has become iconic to Coonabarabran and its visitors.

Two small, black, inquisitive goats this reporter has dubbed Bill and Ted (from the 1989 comedy movie) can often be seen loitering on the wall directly across from Oval Number 3.

The pair can be seen sitting, ruminating and living their best lives, watching the traffic flow in and out of town.

Like in the movie; Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the two nonchalant characters seem to get through life with carefree attitudes.

And as they lay warming themselves in the morning sun, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine their catchphrases to travellers to be similar to their movie counterparts, bleating out, “Be excellent to each other!” and “Party on dudes!” as drivers pass by.

Do you think the names Bill and Ted su it th e dy na m i c d uo? What wou l d you name them and why? Write to the Coonabarabran Times and let us know what you think. Extra points for creativity.

Goats, ‘Bill and Ted’, wish visitors to Coonabarabran a “most excellent” time.

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • Weight, quality and finish continue to drive the market as indicators ease.

• Elevated slaughter after the April public holidays allowed goat slaughter to reach its highest rate since 2017.

• It is producers’ last chance to respond to the Sheep Producer Intentions Survey before it closes on 14 May. Yardings Prices eased across all indicators this week.

Cattle yardings are back 20% after the very l a r g e ya rd i n g s f ro m last week, but are still 147 % h ig he r yea r-to date. Supply from the extensive herd rebuild is reaching the market and is not expected to slow anytime soon.

Roma numbers tightened by over 2,000 head, with good quality stock presented overall (although there were some signs of a drier sta r t to the w inter in the local area). Weight, quality and finish

continue to drive the market.

Sheep and lamb yardings held firm with another strong week of sales. Wagga Wagga yardings softened by 5,000 head, with some producers holding off selling stock after softer p r i ce s . T h i s a l l o w e d pr ices across most weights and categories to improve at the saleyard.

Overall, it is a similar story across cattle and sheep markets. Plenty of supply and choice has meant that buyers are only willing to pay for the better- quality

offerings.

Slaughter Cattle slaughter rates have returned to more normal numbers since the April public hol idays. Slaughter i n N SW j u m p e d 3 0 % week- on-week, while Queensland numbers eased 3% . Overal l n u m b e r s l i f te d 9, 3 69 head week- on - week and remain 19% above 2022 levels.

Lamb slaughter has also lifted 90,826 h e a d o r 2 8 % w e e ko n - we e k . T h i s i s t h e second highest weekly slaughter figure for 2023, with eastern states lamb

slaughter only reaching above 370,0 0 0 head twice since December 2019. Both times have been in the last month, demonstrating the cur rent supply in the market.

Goat slaughter is sitting at its highest rate s i n ce M a rch 2 017 at 47,547 head. Historically, numbers this high have been due to a seasonal element as rangeland goats dominated the industry. A trend towards more managed systems has helped to smooth seasonality of supply. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2023

Elderly fear rising costs The cost of living crisis is being felt across all income levels and age groups, however, it is our most vulnerable elderly population that is really feeling the impact.

by CHRIS WARD Research from t he Nat i o n a l S e n i o r s Australia and Challenger revealed 80 per cent of older people are being directly impacted by the higher living costs.

T he number classed as severely impacted is expected to rise over the next 12 months.

The National Seniors Social Survey (NSSS) of 5700 people aged 50 and over asked people about their concerns around the cost of living increases.

The results reveal that a staggering 90 per cent of survey respondents were concerned about keeping up with rising living costs with one quarter of those extremely concerned.

Health costs, energy prices and groceries were the top three wor r ies.

Housing affordability was also a concern.

National Seniors Australia chief advocate, Ian Henschke said the survey results confirm what they had long suspected. “ I f y o u ’ r e a n o ld e r person renting or on a low income, you’re more likely to be hit hard by rising living costs,” he said.

“Older people in rural and remote areas, those in larger households (3+) and people in their 50s a r e mor e l i kely t o b e struggling.”

Nest egg eroding Nev ille and Dorothy Wi l k i n, who l ive i n Cooinda Village at

C o onaba rabra n , sa id despite their simple way of life, the cost of living has begun to erode their nest egg. “ We live very simply and carefully anyway,” Mrs Wilkin said.

“But it’s hard not to not ic e , b e c au s e ever y aspect of liv ing has increased in price. It’s not just one or two areas. “ We have to be very careful and monitor it because it’s eating into our savings.”

M r W i l k i n sa id the cost of fuel and electricity were the toughest hurdles to overcome.

“Coming into winter, ele c tr icity is goi ng t o be a problem for a lot of people,” he said.

“At our stage in life we like to be able to live in a little bit of comfort and that means using the air conditioner when it gets really cold.

“The cost of fuel is a big problem and it varies so much from town to town.

It would be a big help if that stabilised and came down a bit.”

The couple said they rarely can a fford t o eat out , but sa id t hey a r e t h a n k f u l t o receive a voucher from t he Wa r r u m bu n g l e C om mu n it y Ca r e on occasion, which they can use at any Warrumbungle Shire eatery.

Mrs Wilkin also said she would start using the Seventh Day Adventist Food Pantry to do her s hoppi n g i f g r o c er ie s

continued to increase. “ T he vouchers f r om the Community Care are great and it means we can treat ourselves now and then,” she said.

“Someone told me the other day how much they save by shopping at the Food Pantr y, so that’s something I will start doing too.”

Mental health Research from Beyond Blue reveals that more than one in three people believe the cost of living pressures are having a negative impact on their mental health.

A s a resu lt of thei r f ind ings they have made submissions to the Australian Government select committee on the cost of living, to recommend more a f ford able a nd ac cessible suppor t for those experiencing mental health pressure and financial distress.

T he subm i ssion put forth recommended: • improving access to services and supports, particularly for people who a r e ex p er ienc i n g financial distress; • improving referral pathways between mental hea lth a nd f i na ncia l services; and • i n fo r m i n g p e ople who work in both finance and mental health about the relationship between mental health and financial hardship.

“It is clear that costof-living pressures are causing stress for people

right around Australia, and that this is happening at a time when mental health support often isn’t affordable, available or easy to find,” Beyond Blue CE O G eorg ie Ha rma n said.

“That means it’s vital that governments get on with the job they know they need to do – and that job includes embedding low intensity supports, such a s c oach i ng a nd d ig ita l of fer i ngs, that p e ople c a n ac c es s , no matter where they live or what they earn. “ F i na ncia l pressu re and mental health issues are two sides of the same coin – money worries can cause our mental health to deteriorate and vice versa. “ Taking steps to manage our mental health as soon as issues e m e r g e m e a n s we d o better in the long run. “ It ’s impor ta nt that pe ople c a n ac cess the support that suits their needs as early as they can.”

In addition to its 24/7 support service, Beyond Blue is developing new resou r ces t o suppor t ut i l it y pr o v ide r s a nd mental health services work i ng w ith people experiencing f inancial distress.

Coona LALC project updates You may remember our article from March, detailing some new projects in the works at the Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council (CLALC). Let’s take a look at how these projects are coming along.

by JIMMY WHALAN The plans for upgrades to Mary Jane C a i n ’s h e a d s t o n e a t Burra Bee Dee are still b ei ng or ga n i s e d w it h Castlereagh F unerals.

Plans for these upgrades are available for viewing at the CLALC office.

F und ing is yet to be secured for the preser vation of g raves at Burra Bee Dee that have been subject to water damage.

CL A L C chai r person Naomi Stanton said that the damages first need to be assessed before action can be taken.

“The Environment and Protection Authority are visiting the site during May to do a survey of the damages,” Mrs Stanton

said. “ T his is par t of the Aboriginal flood recovery money.”

Though funding has not yet been secured for the new lawn cemetery, church and memorial garden at Burra Bee Dee, plans are due to be received from architect Jo Redden.

These new areas are to be designed in such a way as to avoid problems with water damage, which has recently been an issue at the site.

The land has also been cleared for the installation of disability access toilets at Burra Bee Dee cemetery.

Mrs Stanton said that the toilets have already arrived in Coonabarabran and are due to be installed o n M o n d ay, 2 9 M ay, following delays due to

inclement weather.

T he pla ns for the old police residence to become an A bor ig ina l Medical Service are in the works, with Wayne Lee Constructions having accepted the job to renovate the building.

Renovations are expected to be complete by the end of the year.

Development applications D e v e l o p m e n t applications for the new disability access units to be constructed in town have recently been sent in for approval.

Mrs Stanton said plans have been finalised for the first unit and that once the development application is approved, construction is expected to begin soon after.

Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council has shared some updates on projects in the works at Burra Bee Dee and in town.

8 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 18th May 2023

Sydney has recorded a big cooling effect in the last 60 days from 7 March to 12 May of just over 10 degrees.

T h i s w a s t he f i f t h g reatest cooling effect in any autumn season in the last 166 years of records. The four greatest cooling effects were in the autumn season of 1861, 19 2 6 , 19 6 8 a nd 2 011.

There were seven others which had a cooling effect of 9-9.8 degrees during the autumn season in Sydney.

These took place in 1887, 1898, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1977 and 1983.

Most of these, including 1898, 1913, 1915, 1926, 19 6 8 and 1977, led to a spr ing season being notably warmer and drier than usual in our regions after near-average rainfall during the winter.

Alice Springs has had its coldest first fortnight in May since 2011. On 8 May the temperature fell to minus 0.8 degrees. This was the coldest for early May since minus 1.7 on 10 and 11 May in 1949.

Other very low readings for early May were in 1880 and 1898.

The rest of 1880 saw a very dry winter, but slightly warmer in August, then a wet September at most places right up to inland Queensland, then d r ier a nd hotter f rom October up to January 1881.

T he rest of 1898 saw a mild, wet June, then warmer and drier conditions from July 1898 r ight up t o D e cember 1898 at most places in our

region.

The rest of 1949 saw a ver y c old Ju ne a nd July with rainfall above average in Victoria, but below-average rainfall north from the Riverina.

August 1949 was warmer and drier than usu a l i n ou r r eg ion s .

S eptember 19 49 was wa r me r a nd d r ie r i n Victoria, wetter in September in NSW. Both October and November 1949 were very wet in Victoria, NSW and in inland Queensland.

A dry December followed with a heatwave near the end of that month, with 40 degrees at Coonabarabran and 42 degrees at both Moree and Roma.

A large high-pressure system has brought stable conditions to our regions the last five days, with maximum temperatures slightly above the May normal at most places.

A small upperlevel disturbance is currently operating in the Charlev ille reg ion where 11mms rain fall was recorded, but little or no rain elsewhere in the Warrego and Maranoa district.

An active low-pressure with a strong cold front is approaching from well south of the Bight waters.

This will produce the next cold outbreak from the middle of this coming week and once again will extend as far north as Emerald and Longreach – just like 1949.

L ittle or no ra i n is expected with this cold change.

Cooinda leads WORD for WORD by example

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 begins.

Cooinda Aged Care is a leader in providing quality care, however, more staff are needed to alleviate pressure on the existing team.

by CHRIS WARD Due to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety published back in March 2021, the amount and quality of care provided at facilities will increase.

As a result of the report, all aged care facilities will be required to have a registered nurse on site and on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week unless granted an exemption).

Residents will be required to receive at least 200 care minutes per resident per day including 40 minutes with a registered nurse.

Coonabarabran’s Cooinda Aged Care CEO, Leanne Redfern said the local facility was leading by example and has operated with a 24/7 nurse for over 30 years, and currently exceeds the number of required care minutes per resident per day.

“Everyone in this community should be proud of the fact Cooinda continues to deliver a very high standard of care and is an example of how aged care should be done properly, with genuine care, dignity and respect for our aged family

members,” she said.

“Cooinda is well versed in these requirements and how they tie in with expectations to provide high quality care for its residents.

“Very clearly this is the sole reason Cooinda exists, and every single staff member is committed to doing the best they can do.”

Like other facilities, Mrs Redfern said staffing numbers are still causing some issues and has called on the community for assistance.

Under pressure “There is no hiding from the fact that all aged-care facilities are under more pressure now than has ever been faced before, with increased regulatory burdens and record staff shortages,” Mrs Redfern said.

“The new aged-care reforms will not affect how Cooinda operates, however, Cooinda is acutely aware of the impact of staff shortages and this is something we would like to convey to our community very clearly.

“Cooinda would like your help to make sure we continue to deliver the very best care possible, which means helping to fill current vacancies of which

there are quite a few, all being vital to continuing to deliver the standards of care the community deserves.

“We offer a number of employee benefits including flexible lifestyle rostering arrangements, free and heavily subsidised training and development opportunities, ATO approved generous tax concessions, novated leasing options, free onsite accommodation for suitable applicants – plus much more.”

The aged-care facility has added another string to its bow when it comes to addressing staff shortages and recently strengthened its executive team with the appointment of Naomi Taylor as operations manager.

B o rn a nd ra i s e d i n Coonabarabran, with extensive human resource management experience, Ms Taylor understands the challenges in relation t o ta le nt a cq uisitio n, employee value proposition, attraction and retention.

“Attracting and retaining experienced and skilled health professionals to work and live in rural areas is a global issue,” Ms Taylor said.

“Along with all other Australian regional and remote businesses, we face the challenge of the growing Australian ageing population and local workforce.

“Here at Cooinda we are developing strategies specific to regional and remote areas to attract and retain nurses and personal-care workers to Coonabarabran and the immediate local area.”

Cooinda currently has several active job advertisements including registered nurses, enrolled nurses, personal-care workers and supportservices staff.

Applications for these positions can be submitted through the website at: www.cooindacoona.com. au/our-staff “A career in healthcare, particularly within the aged-care sector can be a tremendously satisfying and rewarding career path,” Mrs Redfern said.

“We encourage those thinking of starting or advancing their career in aged care to contact Naomi at: Naomi.Taylor@ Cooindacoona.com.au or by calling 6842 0888.”

Do you have a nickname? Cracker What’s your favourite thing to do around Coona on the weekends?

Work in the yard, visit friends, go spotlighting/shooting.

What’s your day job? I work for the National Parks & Wildlife Service. I’ve been there for 37+ years now, doing supplementary pest control from the northern NSW border to Kosciuszko.

How would your friends and family describe you in three words? My family say I’m creative, loving and loyal.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? That would have been in 2021 when a group of work colleagues and myself were sent to Lord Howe Island to assist in the capture and eradication of the remaining rat population on the island. It was an amazing opportunity to experience the beauty of the island as I walked many kilometres over the mountains to set up and check bait stations in backyards in the township and surrounding areas. We were there for one week and camped in the local town hall and rode push bikes around the island, as cars are in short supply.

What have you been reading (or watching) lately? Reading = my bible and watching = probably too much football.

What are the most used emojis on your phone? The thumbs up and smiley face.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s

your way of winding down? Going for a bike ride, listening to music and throwing my discus.

What’s your favourite holiday destination? Outside of Australia, that would have to be Canada. In Australia, it would be Hastings Point at the moment.

What song have you been playing on repeat? My favourite songs on repeat at the moment would be the Casting Crowns song ‘Just be Held’, and the Simon and Garfunkel song ‘Sound of Silence’, sang by Disturbed.

If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? That would have to be my mum, Jill. She passed away when I was eight years old. I still miss her.

And what would you cook her? We would probably have a baked leg of lamb and veggies for mains, and I would cook her beautiful chocolate cake for dessert.

Which app on your phone do you use the most? My solar electricity app. I like to know how much power we’ve pumped into the grid each day.

WhatsApp gets a good workout also.

What’s something you’re looking forward to? At my age and stage in life that would have to be spending time with my family and especially my grandchildren. I love watching them develop their personalities and wrestling with them.

Who should we chat to next? Dean Staniforth.

A n event orga n iser,

Wa r w ick Mopp et t s a id wh i le it w i l l b e competitive, it was all about encouraging participation.

“We want as many kids to come down who are thinking about picking up a racquet as possible and join in,” he said.

“It will be conducted in a round-robin style, so there will be plenty of tennis for everyone and a good chance to get a feel for the sport.”

The event won’t just cater to children, however, with divisions for opens

also available.

FWAS tennis coach and organiser Ken Wray will be on hand.

Saint Lawrence’s Science and Engineering Day Narrabri Years 5 and 6 students enjoyed a great science and engineering day last week at Narrabri. The University of Newcastle developed a day of activities that included:

bridge building, earth quake, resistant towers, Mars buggies, creating a bionic hand, powering a c i t y, d e s i g n i n g a n effective transport system for a city and developing a communication system.

These activities had a set of limitations, which

the students had to follow, or they lost points. This required a real team effort, with a group of three or four students tackling each problem.

A fter ice breaker activ ities and tent allocation and pitching, assisted by the director Chris Jackson, they all put on hiking boots and made their way up Split Rock.

On the perfect autumn day, as the impending rock face stared down at us, they learnt all about the Warrumbungles native bush tucker a nd bush medicine.

The students, often with an audience of echidnas, birds, lizards, and goats, created a video masterpiece of their experience and played games around the campfire.

Ms Hawkins reflected that Wes and his team at the Education Centre made it an experience the students will long remember.

Powerful Points fun The best fun was had in Stage 3 for their Powerful Points fun afternoon. This was a reward time for students who had earned 5 0 0 0 p ower f u l p oi nt s and they chose activities to participate in for the afternoon. These students earned points for following t e a c he r i n s t r u c t io n s , completing their work and participating in all class tasks with respect and a positive attitude.

There were so many activities it was hard to pick. There was cooking w it h K at ie a nd s ome del icious ro cky road was made; Mrs Clifton’s craft group made bath bombs; Danny, Steve and M r T urner turned the multipurpose courts into a fitness gym with weights, dumbbells, medicine ball and other fitness activities.

Lots of children enjoyed bring ing their dev ices from home to play with Ms Hawkins and then Mr Fay had children twirling th rough the a i r doing acrobatics.

Lots of fun was had by all and thanks to all the

students on reaching 5000 points by following our school values of showing respect, being safe and aiming for excellence at CPS! We lo ok for wa r d t o next Tuesday for a terrific afternoon of activities, if we reach 7000 points!

Coona bucks trend of medication shortfall

LETTER TO THE EDITOR editor@coonabarabrantimes.com

In good news for the town, Coonabarabran seems to be bucking the trend of other regional and rural areas that are experiencing a shortage in a number of crucial medications.

by CHRIS WARD A report released in late April explained how numerous medications were in short supply.

Pharmacist Doug King, from Your Discount Chemist, explained how there had been a shortage since COVID-19 struck, but said for the most part, Coonabarabran’s supplies were slowly improving.

“Most of the factories in China and India shut down during COVID and that’s where most of these medications are produced,” Mr King said.

“So, ever since, there’s been a bit of a backlog of medications and it’s going to take a long time to catch up, but in my eyes things are improving here.

“About two months ago things were starting to get a little delicate with a couple of different items.”

Mr King said a

classic example was the injectable diabetes medication, Ozempic.

He also said that Diltiazem, a drug for

treating heart issues, had become difficult to obtain.

“But between us and the other pharmacy

in town we have been able to cover most shortfalls,” Mr King said.

The report claimed

over 400 medications have been affected including antibiotics and drugs used to lower cholesterol.

Where is the #RESPECT? NSW Rugby League is currently p romoti ng #RE SPECT Round.

They released a document of the same name written above the phrase ‘working with clubs to build positive environments in Community Rugby League’.

It encourages clubs to call out negative behaviour and ends with a few fur ther ‘hashtags’ i n c l u d i n g # L E T T H E M P L AY. I w i l l ta ke t h e i r a d v i ce a n d publicly call out some negative behaviour I have been informed of.

Re ce nt l y, B a ra d i n e J u n i o r League Sports Club was fined

by Group 14 for their Under 12’s team playing two players who are due to turn 13 later in the year, a matter of weeks past the cut-off date.

Being the first game day of the season (Baradine lost by the way) and the fact it was a n ove r s i g h t b y vo l u n t e e r s to n ew l y - e l e c te d p o s i t i o n s , one would have expected a stern warning and a chance to correct the problem (apply for a dispensation) as an acceptable c o u r s e o f a c t i o n fo r a f i r s t of fence. I nstead, f i nes we re i s s u e d w i t h n o ex p l a n at i o n, correspondence or option to appeal.

Adding fu r ther insult to injury, the committee members involved had identified these k i d s we re i n e l i g i b l e to p l a y during the weeks leading up to the game, didn’t di rectly notify the club and just sat in the grandstand and watched

the ‘offence’ unfold. They didn’t i n t e r ve n e a t a n y s ta g e, s o obviously had no child safety issues in mind, and then sent out the tickets as an attachment to a blank email.

So I ask – where is the respect? Where is the ‘working w i t h c l u b s to b u i l d p o s i t i ve env i ro n m ent s i n Co m m u n it y Rugby League?’ Where is the par t where we just ‘let them play?’ I understand there need to be r u l es and reg u l ations, but there also has to be to be some room fo r d i scretion as wel l a s com m un i cati on and explanation of actions.

We now have two young lads u n a b l e to p l a y fo otb a l l t h i s year unless NSW Rugby League a p p r ove t h e d i s p e n s a t i o n s a n d t h e G ro u p 14 t re a s u re r demanding immediate payment of the f ines. The parents of the kids are confused and the team mo rale has plummeted.

I wrote to the Group 14 JRLN committee about this, but have received no response to date.

So, I wi ll f inish with a message to those of you on the committee who were involved in this incident – thank you and c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s y o u b r a ve soldiers of justice for your role in killing off bush footy. I look fo r wa rd to ra i s i n g t h i s i s s u e with you in person at your next meeting.

Yours etc., Chris Wallis Baradine 2396 (8.05.2023)

NSW Fire & Rescue Open Day

NSW Fire and Rescue fire fighters from Coonabarabran, hosted the station’s annual Open Day on Saturday, 12 May: Zachary Estens - deputy captain, Shannon Oakes, Clinton Baglee and Terry Hadfield.

Kookaburras make history Coonabarabran Kookas, for the first time in their 40-year history, scored 100 points in a game to defeat the Trangie Tigers by 88 points.

RUGBY UNION This would also be the club’s biggest-ever winning margin, along with a total of 16 tries – also a record; and, without doubt, Darcy Clifton’s haul of three tries and 10 conversions for a total of 35 points also the best ever.

When Coonabarabran arrived at Trangie to be greeted by both a warm sunny day, a well-watered, heavy track and Trangie with a full bench of players, no one could have predicted what was about to unfold.

Congratulations to Tom Redden, still recovering from shoulder surgery, who did an outstanding job refereeing the match, letting the game flow and being very fair to both teams. We look forward to seeing Tom back in a Kookabu r ras’ jersey sometime soon.

As Tom blew the whistle at kick off, complacency was the danger for the K o ok a s fol low i n g t he sizeable win last week at Yeoval.

However, this was not the case, as the boys went about their business with control and method. Once

14 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 18th May 2023

again, the forwards laid the foundation against a spirited Trangie outfit to provide clean ball for Coonabarabran’s back line, who threw the ball wide early, resulting in tries to first Nick Wham then Tim McManus on both flanks.

Tim McManus crossed again out wide, following lead up play from the everyoung Johnny Milgate, seagulling in the backs (again).

Next to cross was Luke Michael, followed by Darcy Clifton, L onnie Stone, rampaging Dan Oakes, then Matty Walton – who ran with real purpose to conclude the first half, leaving the score 52-0.

T he second sta nza continued as the first, with unrelenting momentum from the forwards and backs eager to spread the ball to space, resulting in Sam Wilson scoring out wide.

T ra ng ie never gave up a nd h it back w ith a c onver t e d t r y f r om excellent forward drives, 57-7.

Coona was back at it

aga i n soon a f ter w ith a try to the f lying Jed McEvoy, returning from injury. New recruit Harry Willoughby was next to score with his blistering pace. Harry is a real talent, possessing genuine speed and excellent hands, a danger to any opposition.

A t 6 9 -7, a wel lrehearsed, back-line move resulted in Luke Mack scoring out wide, followed

by Ethan Thirkell, who wa s he av i ly i nv olve d throughout the game. Luke Mack then crossed for his second try, followed by a try to Darcy Clifton, 95-7 T rang ie, to their absolute credit, crossed the line late in the game through dogged forward play, 95-12.

Darcy Clifton scored out wide to conclude the match, closing the score 10 0 -1 2 . T h i s ma s sive score line was a result of everyone contributing and playing their own role in a cohesive team effort.

Our mutual friend Alan Poyner, who was actually at t h e g a m e , a l w ay s de s c r i b e d T r a n g ie a s

“tragedy by day but Paris by night.” I don’t know if this is his saying or a local colloquialism, but as much as they tried, it was a tough day for the local club. No one likes seeing scores like this and as Trangie are in the rebuilding phase, they have to be congratulated on their unrelenting effort.

The Tigers, despite stiff opposition, kept to the task and continued to play hard but clean rugby, which was very much appreciated by their supporters and the Coonabarabran players and coaches.

It’s tough keeping bush rugby going, so we wish Trangie the best for the rest of this season and for many more seasons to come, as their future is also our future.

A f un fact is the on ly other time the Kookaburras have been involved in a 100-point game was when your local rugby correspondent was the coach for the 1999 season and a very young team was defeated by the Bathurst Harlequin’s 1260 in the first game of the

competition. We actually then went on to have a successful season, winning six games and missing out on a final four spot by one point. We lost to Harlequins at home in the second round 21-17, which was their tightest victory all season as they went through as undefeated premiers.

But by far the most important fact is that the Bathurst Harlequin’s Club folded several years later and never reformed, while the Kookaburras are still flying high 24 years later and providing joy for all.

This week sees a grandf i na l replay when the Molong Magpies swoop into town, so be sure to be at the ground by 2pm to witness this exciting team in action. If you can’t be there, listen to it live on local radio or on your phone anywhere around the world by searching 2 WCR 99.5 and pressing the green tab in the top right corner of your screen.

Swans, Roosters and Terriers top the table It was a case of two from two for the Dunedoo Swans, the Cobar Roosters and the Gulgong Terriers when they each won their respective games against Coonabarabran, Baradine and Gilgandra in round two of the 2023 Castlereagh League competition.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE At Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval, the Swans continued their strong start to the season when they saw off the Coonabarabran Unicorns 32 to 10, while at Cobar the home side got over the Baradine Magpies 26 to 12. At Gilgandra, the Terriers were too strong for the Panthers, claiming a 34-8 victory.

Joi n i ng those th ree on the winners’ list was the Narromine Jets, who downed the Coonamble Bears 54 to 26 in a highscoring game to retain the Boronia Cup. This was the Jets’ second defence of the Cup; their third will come in round five when they are home to the Gilgandra Panthers who they defeated late last year to claim the famous silverware.

In what was their first outing for the year, having

had the bye in round one, the Gilgandra Panthers, despite scoring first, never really looked to threaten the visiting Terriers. The handling of both sides left a lot to be desired, with the home side’s failure to retain possession being c omp ou nde d by s ome ordinary defensive efforts at times as the Terriers raced in six tries to register a strong win.

The Panthers will be hoping that they are better for the run when they travel to The Crater next Saturday to mix it with the Binnaway Bombshells in a game that both teams will be going all out to register their first win for the season.

Similarly, at Coonamble, the Bears will be looking to topple the Gulgong Terriers as they endeavour to claim ma x imum competition points to kick start their 2023 campaign.

The Baradine Magpies have shown in their two matches to date that they have a competitive outfit, and while they have not yet won a game, their effort at Cobar last Saturday should give them plenty of heart as they go into their match against the Narromine Jets at Baradine this Saturday.

While the Jets got up against Coonamble last weekend, they allowed the Bears to score six tries, and that number, on top of the eight that the Gulgong Ter r iers w racked up against them in round one, must be sounding some alarms in the Narromine camp.

With an expected big

Magpie home crowd in attendance, the Jets can expect a tough match.

T he mat ch of the round will be played at Cobar, when the Roosters are involved in another “Feathery Fight” – this time when they host the Dunedoo Swans.

Both sides currently have a share of the lead on the competition ladder and this match presents itself as being an absolute beauty, with a big audience expected to pack into Tom Knight Oval.

On the leag ue tag front, the Narromine Jets continued on their winning way with an emphatic 60 to 10 win over Coonamble, this being the first time that they have had points scored against them in their three games so far this season.

The Cobar Roosterettes currently sit at the top of the competition table with 10 points, but they h ave pl ayed a n ex t ra game compared to both Narromine and the Dunedoo Swannettes, who both are one point adrift on the ladder.

The Roosterettes downed Baradine 24-nil on Saturday, but it must be said that the Magpiettes were playing their second ga me i n th r e e d ays after having beaten the Binnaway Bombshells on Thursday night, 14 to 8.

In a most remarkable turnaround the Gulgong Terriers, coming off a 60 to nil hiding the previous weekend, looked impressive as they beat the Gilgandra Pink Panthers 24 to 8 at

Gilgandra to set up what should be an interesting clash with Coonamble at Coonamble this Saturday.

Golf, echidna, and cheque presentation LADIES GOLF A happy group of ladies took to the Coonabarabran golf course on Wednesday, 10 May, competing in a stableford event for a club voucher.

Scores returned were not a worry to the handicapper, but again, nothing to be embarrassed about.

The winner on the day was Lou Coulton, with a score of 33 points.

T her e wa s a t ie for s e c ond pl ac e b et we en Judy Williams and Julie Shinton, both on 30 points – each winning a golf ball for their efforts.

There were no nearest the pin prizes awarded.

In our annual matchplay event, Kerrie Ward had to forfeit to Michelle Murphy after suffering a painful back injury.

A bit of excitement on the third fairway when something was spotted trundling along near the third green. The players approached with caution, as there had been talk of snakes enjoying the warm autumn sunshine.

It became clear that there was no danger when the critter was identified as an echidna, who joined the girls on the green – no doubt looking for some tips on how to putt. Some coaxing had to be done to move him on, as the animal was between one player’s ball and the cup.

T he C o on aba rabra n lady golfers have presented a cheque in the amount of $4277.40 to the Cancer Support Group of Coonabarabran. This was for funds raised from out annual being the proceeds from our charity golf day for Cancer Support.

Bulls, Blue Boars unite to tackle mental health MOREE

The Moree Bulls and Narrabri Blue Boars have united in honour of mental health awareness.

The Weebollabolla Oval round four clash between the neighbouring Central North Rugby Union

teams was held with the aim of shining a spotlight on mental health. Both communities have faced tragedy in the recent years, losing loved community members to suicide.

The devastation felt across the region has prompted action to

support community members with their mental health.

The derby day was held in conjunction with Australian Food and Fibre and Rural and Remote Mental Health.

Moree Bulls typically hold a mental health awareness game at their

first home match of the season, and it’s an initiative Moree Rugby Union Club president David Watts would like to see run across the competition.

“It’s gaining momentum every year,” Mr Watts said.

Following talks with Narrabri

Rugby Club president Mick Coffey, Mr Watts said the two teams will run the same initiative when the Bulls travel south to play against the Blue Boars later in the season.

The issue of mental issue is greater than club differences and rivalries, he said. Continued on page 3

Emergency services levy cost a blow to councils: Marshall The removal of a subsidy alleviating costs associated with the Emergency Services Levy will be a blow to local councils, according to Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall.

Mr Marshall tabled a motion in the NSW Parliament last week, requesting the government continue the policy of the last three financial years to cover the cost of the levy on behalf of councils.

“Councils across the Northern Tablelands were only recently advised about the enormous increase – around 20 per cent – to their Emergency Services Levy liabilities for next financial year,” Mr Marshall said.

“The government has indicated that it will not cover the costs of the Levy imposed on local councils and their ratepayers, which had occurred the previous three financial years.

“This is not only incredibly frustrating for our local councils, the timing could not be worse with a lot of work being done to finalise draft budgets for next year.

“These ballooning levy liability costs will be met directly from the pockets of local ratepayers, resulting in less funds for councils to do the basics, fixing roads, maintaining local parks and gardens

and keeping pools and libraries open.”

Mr Marshall said a roundtable meeting of the region’s mayors and general managers drew unanimous alarm and condemnation, particularly the impact it will have on councils’ ability to maintain infrastructure and deliver services in their communities.

“The dollar increase in the levy, is in most cases, is a larger quantum of funding than the entire allowable rate peg cap for next financial year,” Mr Marshall said.

The move to revoke the subsidy has also been met with condemnation from the Country Mayors Association, led by chair and Gunnedah mayor Jamie Chaffey.

Cr Chaffey said the association had submitted a policy platform calling on all political parties to commit to policy reform that will see the levy being removed from local government and funded by other means, like a property tax.

“The shifting of financial responsibilities from state to local government without commensurate compensation, cost-shifting, is nothing new,” Cr Chaffey said.

“Local government is now also being forced to show the assets of local Rural Fire Services on our books, although they are

technically owned by the state government, so the depreciation becomes the responsibility of local government and is therefore further reducing the funds available to provide essential community services.”

A NSW government spokesperson said the state’s emergency services agencies have long been funded through a cost sharing arrangement – local government contributions to the cost of emergency services date back to the 1800s.

“Funding was discontinued by the previous government. This is one of several instances and we are working through them as part of the Expenditure Review Committee process,” the spokesperson said in a statement provided to the North Western Guide.

“The contributions made by local councils to emergency services are determined through legislative requirements. These legislative requirements have not changed.

“This increase was approved by the former government and the government did not have the time to engage with the process without jeopardising the funding arrangements for emergency services.

“The NSW government is committed to ensuring that emergency

PLEASE END

services are delivered efficiently and within budget now in order to minimise impact on councils and households in the years ahead.

“As the payments to cap ESL contributions at 2019/20 levels was ad-hoc and not budgeted for, ideally, local governments will have been budgeting for the full emergency services levy, including any increases, since 2019-20 (as the top-up was never guaranteed).

“The NSW government recognises that councils are facing increased cost pressures and is focussed on ensuring the sustainability of the local government sector.

“The NSW Labor government has committed to implementing a review of financial modelling for councils, with a lens on the increasing cost burdens on residents, and we remain committed to that promise.

“Councils have other concerns about the way the emergency services levy interacts with rates, and want to be able to list ESL as a specific line item on rates bills (like insurance companies already do, but almost all councils cannot).

“The government is committed to listening to councils concerns around these matters.”

DAYLIGHT SAVING! Calls for four-year trial

without daylight saving

DAYLIGHT SAVING THE NORMAL TIME! Artist: Lucy, 11 years old, ‘Who got up late, and the bus didn’t wait.’

ended for Melatonin Not Recomm eep Aid Children or Teens as Sl

French move to drop daylight saving overruled by EU

At a meeting of European Union transport ministers in 1996, France made a bid to scrap daylight saving among EU nations. The bid was out-voted but France called for a major study into daylight saving’s social, farming and economical impact.

The only options are to have a 4 year trial WITHOUT daylight saving (DLS) or the EU’s extension of DLS for the next 50 years.

This letter was to be conceding defeat on derailing daylight saving but not so, after receiving the information that was sent to me from a family member via Monash University about the negative effects of daylight saving.

I also found the original ballot paper which did not define that summer was three months December, January and February. This raised concern that it gave full power to the parliament to extended daylight saving at their will.

A committee was formed in Gunnedah in 1996 in the theatre room at the Gunnedah Town Hall.

It was well attended, and our policy was formed by concerned audiences. We then joined other groups under different banners, we also protested to NSW Premier Bob Carr (Labor) about proposing extensions to daylight saving.

Our ballot concerns for people living beyond Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong were completely ignored but we had support from the border of Queensland, Tweed Heads and Coolangatta.

Also in 1996, we learnt that the real agenda for daylight saving was controlled by the EU European Union all over the world to bring daylight saving in permanently.

In Australia in 2021, on the 50th anniversary of the introduction of daylight saving in 1971, Queensland was the only state pushing to stop daylight saving coming in for the whole year.

The fact that 10,000 signatures, which were calling for just one month of daylight saving, on behalf of the Citizens Against Daylight Savings (CADS) failed to be presented to the parliament, was the reason why I was feeling defeated but no more.

The evidence that I have found shows that we have all been deceived and that we have all been betrayed. We have full medical evidence that must be investigated for those who have suffered the effects of daylight saving, especially children and adults who must take melatonin to reset their body clocks. Our members have remained silent but so supportive in continuing the battle for which we humbly thank them.

We need a four-year trial without daylight saving, it is only fair after 50 years. The battle continues.

Judith Law, Gunnedah WHAT’S YOUR VIEW?

Do you agree with the call to trial four years without daylight saving? Or are you happy with the current annual time change? Send us your thoughts.

End in sight for highway flood mitigation upgrade Construction work to improve flood immunity on a key section of the Gwydir Highway is nearing completion after more than two years of COVID-19 restrictions and extreme weather delays.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison said the finish line is in sight on the $7.1 million project to raise and rebuild the flood-prone Washpool section of highway, about 17 kilometres east of Moree.

“The Gwydir Highway is a critical east-west link for northern NSW, connecting the inland plains to the New England area,” Ms Aitchison said.

“This upgrade will mean essential goods can keep moving during and after extreme weather events, allowing local communities to remain connected.

“Transport for NSW work is wrapping up to install large drains as part of the major upgrade, with Moree Plains Shire Council carrying out work on associated road upgrades to complete the project by the end of the year, weather permitting.

“Upgrading this flood-prone section of the highway will improve access and lessen the impact of future flood events for locals, tourists

FLOOD MITIGATION UPGRADE: Construction work to improve flood mitigation on the Gwydir Highway, east of Moree, is nearing completion. and freight operators.”

The project was impacted by a number of challenges including flooding, COVID-19 restrictions and the reallocation of crews to carry out emergency repairs on

the Spring Creek Bridge on the Kamilaroi Highway. Work completed so far includes the placement of precast culvert cells and the pouring of more than 600 cubic metres of structural concrete.

A two-way sealed side track on the southern side of the highway will remain in use to maintain traffic flow around the project site until the remaining road work has been completed.

Moree Bulls, Narrabri Blue Boars unite for mental health Continued from front page

“At the end of the day, everyone is still a mate off the field,” Mr Watts said.

Moree Rugby Union Club started the initiative following a tragedy which impacted the club.

“It took a big effect on our club,” Mr Watts said.

“It made people realise people aren’t as good as you think they are inside.”

Mr Watts said mental health was a matter the club took very seriously and holds close to its heart.

“It’s about starting a conversation,” he said.

Mr Watts is encouraging all rural communities to consider similar initiatives.

“A game of footy makes blokes talk,” he said.

Bright young minds excel at 2023 Science and Engineering Challenge The Rotary Club of Narrabri’s 2023 Science and Engineering Challenge hit The Crossing Theatre for another STEM-studded event as primary and high school students from across the region gathered for three days of science challenges and activities.

Students got together in groups to test their abilities and get a glimpse into prospective careers.

Narrabri High School took the win for the highly anticipated ‘Get Over It’ bridge challenge which annually rouses roaring cheers as students compete to see whether their bridge can transport the heaviest gold ingot-bearing trolley across a test rig, with gradually increasing ingots.

The Science and Engineering Challenge is well-associated with Rotarian and challenge organiser Bruce Pyke who also announced his retirement from the program at this year’s event after championing this initiative for the past seven years.

“When I first took over the Science and Engineering Challenge, I quickly realised that there was more demand from schools in the region so we extended the program another day, and if there are more schools that want to attend, we will do our best to accommodate,” said Mr Pyke.

Nationwide, the annual challenge is now supported by more than 120 Rotary clubs and 30

More than just fashion.

universities.

Combined, the challenges reach more than 1000 schools and 35,000 people.

While Mr Pyke is now retired, his own career spanned from the sciences, working as an entomologist in the cotton industry.

“Science is so important to the area, industries like agriculture and mining both rely on science, and with science and engineering, you can’t have one without the other,” said Mr Pyke.

Taking over from former Narrabri Rotarian Wayne Madden, who started the event in 2003, the challenge has only paused twice, once due to COVID. Continued on page 4

BARADINE CENTRAL SCHOOL: Taking part in the Science and Engineering Challenge were Baradine Central School students Sam Harris, David Haywood and Indy Dallas.

Challenge brings together students from across North West Continued from page 3

Mr Pyke’s wife and devoted challenge volunteer Joan Pyke who worked as a veterinarian can be found captaining the earthquake tower challenge, in which students build a tower that is weighted with bricks, to see if it can withstand the Earth-shaker contraption.

“I come out and support Bruce, he’s very passionate about this

and goes and finds all the funding to make this program happen,” said Mrs Pyke.

“After working in the sciences, he is a strong believer in bringing these opportunities to the next generation.”

The bridge challenge was also the highlight for primary schools across the region, with winners including a combined team from Baradine Central and St John’s

Catholic, and Moree Public School on day two.

As well as the anticipated bridge challenge, this year’s activities included building an earthquake-proof tower, planning electrical ‘string-along’ networks, constructing a mars-buggy, harnessing the power of water through a water wheel, and creating a code using light.

The program really is a

community effort, with teachers, Narrabri Rotarians, volunteers from industry, and Narrabri High School students all volunteering to help with the event.

Mr Pyke is extremely passionate about the initiative, saying that he looks forward to organising it every year but is ready to entrust it

to the next generation of capable hands, with Rotarians Kirk Harvey and Ethan Towns.

“Every year it gives all the kids in the area a chance to come out and see STEM in action, we give them a hot lunch, and all get involved, and it’s just a great time for everyone,” said Mr Pyke.
