As a consequence, the longawaited park has been shut off to the public for close to 12 months while the issue could be resolved.

Young exporter Eye on the sky ruffles feathers The saying “If you want something done, ask a busy person” rings true for the Coonabarabran Aero Club’s apppointment of Sherelle Moore to president.

by CHRIS WARD

New livestock exporter, Chloe Grant is taking Aussie meat to the world and her vision to do so had humble beginnings in Coonabarabran.

by CHRIS WARD Not many people can say they are living their dream.

That’s not the case for former Coonabarabran resident, Chloe Grant.

Not only has she realised her dream of becoming a livestock exporter, but she has done it all before turning 30; an impressive feat in an industry that she said is saturated by “middle aged men.” “ I ’ve r u f f le d a few feathers here and there along the way,” she said. “ T h e r e ’s 3 0 t o 3 5 exporters in Australia and they are predominantly midd le -aged men who have the backing of larger companies.

“I’m really proud of just how far I have come from a little country girl born and raised in Coonabarabran.

“I initially thought I would get into nursing, but now I’m managing export licences which requires you to have so much knowledge and passion for what you do.”

A f ter h igh school, Chloe was accepted into university for nursing.

She deferred her studies for two years and packed up and moved to Q ueensla nd a nd then Western Australia to chase her dream of working on a cattle station.

Chloe has since worked in the live export industry in Darwin for the last three years but now, along with another friend of hers, the

pair will become the first females under the age of 30 to hold an export licence.

T he 29 -year-old admitted that at times the industry can receive a bad rap, but said her role was ultimately rewarding.

“I’d like to think we’re softening such a tough industry and the facade that it’s an ugly industry,

because it’s really not that at all,” she said. “ It ’s much mor e rewarding and not like it is depicted in the media. “ It can be really challenging and it can be long hours, but it’s a big thrill that not many people get to say they deliver livestock to destination places.”

B ei n g appr o ve d a n Australian Government export licence means Chloe can export livestock by sea or air.

“The South-east Asian market needs our quality beef to survive,” she said.

“We will start exporting cattle and sheep to the Middle East.”

Chloe Grant is making waves as a livestock exporter, a traditionally male-dominated industry.

The C o on aba rabra n Aero Club’s popularity has taken off due largely to the Wings and Things events of the past two years.

Former Aero Club president Jason Newton introduced the initiative.

He has stepped back from the role since being elected as a Warrumbungle Shire councillor.

Sherel le Mo ore was then elected as president and is taking the club to new heights.

Ms Moore doubles as a teacher at Coonabarabran High School and became involved in the Aero Club when the two organisations came together to provide students with a f light simulator.

M s M o or e s a id s he was drawn to the club, having f lown when she was younger.

She has been a part of the club for about five years after re-commencing her f lying lessons and eventually moved up the ranks to take on the role as president of the club.

After the first few years of being involved with the Aero Club Ms Moore decided it was time to give back.

“I thought I might be able to help out a bit so I took on the secretary role for a year,” she said. “ T hen I became the publicity officer and then, even though I didn’t really have any experience, I took on the role of president.

“I was a bit reluctant, but the club and everyone were really supportive and I’ve really enjoyed it.

“I’d like to think I’ll

stay on in the role for a couple of years and in that time try and get some things in place.”

M s Mo or e s a id she d o e s n ’ t j u s t w a nt t o occupy the role, but wants t o m a ke r e a l c h a n g e a nd g row the club by attracting new members.

“A nd I wa nt t o get more f lying happening out of Coonabarabran and engage with other clubs,” she said. “ I ’d l i k e t o h e l p formalise the Wings and Things process so that Jason’s v ision for the event is realised and it keeps improv i ng each year, and have it set up so

it runs smoothly.”

Ms Moore l i kes t o stay busy and when she’s not chairing Aero Club meetings, collaborating on Wings and Things or marking her students’ homework , you c ou ld probably find her on a sporting field.

W hether it ’s soccer, basketball or softball, Ms Moore said she likes to stay active.

A nd as if she didn’t have enough on her plate, Ms Moore also likes to belt out a beat on the drums for the Orbital Sw ing Band.

Sherelle Moore has added the role of president of the Coonabarabran Aero Club to her busy agenda.

Female plumber challenges tradition Lilyjana Galea has opted to step away from more traditional employment and taken on the challenge of becoming a plumber.

by CHRIS WARD T h e f o r m e r Coonabarabran High School student worked in a couple of different jobs prior to taking on an apprenticeship with plumber, Barry Patterson.

She soon realised working in roles like retail or the hospitality industry were not for her.

“I just wanted to do something different,” she said.

“Even though I’m a girl I didn’t want to do what every other girl does out of school.

“I didn’t want to be stuck in an office or inside all

day so I thought I’d give this a go.

“I enjoy it more than I don’t and I definitely enjoy it more than the other jobs I’ve worked for sure.”

The teenager hasn’t looked back since getting her chance and is now focused on finishing her five-year apprenticeship with a goal of starting her own business.

“At some point I might move away and try and get work in the mines or something like that but eventually I’d like to start my own business,” Lily said.

Lily doesn’t mind the hard work that can come with being a plumber’s

apprentice and said she’d become quite adept at being on the tools.

“It can be tough some days but I don’t mind it,” she admitted.

“I’ve been on the end of a shovel a lot so I’ve gotten pretty used to it.

“I like learning and I’ve learnt to look at things in more than one way and I like the money.”

Even though Lily believes she’s found her calling as a plumber she said it hadn’t been all roses.

“Sometimes the smell can be a bit much,” she laughed.

Lily is the third apprentice Mr Patterson

has put through in Coonabarabran and he said she is up there and just as capable as the rest.

“It’s only been about three months so it’s difficult to evaluate how she’s going but so far she has shown she’s really keen to learn which is really good,” he said.

“She has been taught the proper old school style where she’s learning things like neatness, tidiness and always doing the job properly.

“I started my apprenticeship in 1970 so I’m passing on all the things I learned back in the day to my apprentices.”

The Christmas holidays are meant to be a happy, cheerful and joyful time in everyone’s lives.

But on t oo ma ny occasions, accidents that could have been prevented cause tragedy.

Local emergency services have provided some hints and tips to ensure you don’t become a holiday statistic.

VRA Rescue NSW Coonabarabran V R A member, Tony C ole is urging drivers to take it easy this holiday period and do everything possible to make sure you get to your destination safely.

He said the message will continue to be the same.

“J u s t d o t h e r i g h t thing,” he said. “ Don’t speed, ta ke breaks every two hours, don’t drink and drive.

A l l the common sense messages.

“The last thing we want to be doing while spending time with family is have to come out and cut someone out of a car.

“It’s traumatising for everyone involved at the best of times, but at this time of the year, the ripple effect is much greater.”

Mr Cole reiterated the importance of driving to the conditions.

“Everyone knows the roads are terrible at the moment a f t er a l l t he rain we’ve had, so it’s important people drive to the conditions and obey the safety signs,” he said.

NSW Police Force The summer holidays are a time for celebrating, enjoyment, family and relaxation.

NSW Police ask each and every person to exercise personal responsibility and don’t allow yourself to turn a joyous period into regret and sorrow.

Use alcohol responsibly and in moderation, look out for each other. Do not drink and drive and always consider a Plan B. Most of all, consider those around you, and those close to you and act in a safe and responsible manner.

For those who a re t r avel l i n g du r i n g t he holidays, please ensure

your valuables are secure, vehicles locked and your houses locked and secured in your absence.

O ra n a M id-West er n Pol ice D istr ict assu re residents that, as always, there will be a focused police presence in the communities and police will be working hard to drive down crime, detect criminal and antisocial behaviour, and address the fear of crime in local communities during the festive period. “ We wish everyone a h appy C h r i stma s a nd New Year period and look for wa rd t o conti nu i ng to work closely with our communities in 2023.”

NSW Ambulance With the Aussie Christmas holidays comes the inevitability of hot weather and its effects.

Coonabarabran paramedics have urged the public to keep this in mind when heading outdo ors th is summer period.

Paramedic, Emma Metcalfe said it can be easy to become dehydrated and unwell in our summer conditions.

She said it was important to follow the Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide guidelines.

Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek some shade and slide on some sunglasses.

Ms Metcalfe said it was also vital for residents to be aware of their specific location at all times.

“It’s important to make sure you know your rural address number and that it is clearly visible in case of an emergency,” she said.

“If you are venturing out it is important to be able to give your exact position if an emergency requires it which means knowing the roads and the conditions of them and any identifiable landmarks.”

M s Met ca l fe sa id it was also important to be aware of the closest AEDs (a u t o m a t e d e x t e r n a l def ibr i l lators) in you r town.

Small town, big dreams...

After graduating high school this year, local musician Monique Bragg made her break into the performing arts industry after playing at the Bungle Rumble on Saturday, 26 November.

by JIMMY WHALAN Growing up in a musical household, with her mother having been a singer for most of her childhood, Monique n a t u r a l l y g r av i t a t e d towards music and the performing arts.

“I found that singing came really easily to me and I’ve continued to do it all throughout my life,” Monique said.

Though she admits she was no ly r ical genius, Monique said she started writing her own music when she was little.

While she had stopped writing for a while, finding her you n g er s i bl i n g ’s ukulele during quarantine was the i nspi ration Monique needed to give music another go.

“I thought it would be fun to give the ukulele a crack and not long after learning, I found that music and ly rics came r e a l ly e a s i ly t o me ,” Monique said.

Inspired by artists that have a similar tone to what she likes to write including Chloe Moriondo, Taylor S w i f t a nd her mother’s original music, Monique said she also finds herself drawing on

personal experiences and emotions as inspiration for her songs.

Before she starts w r iting, Monique said she often casually plays on the ukulele until she finds a chord progression and strumming pattern that inspires her.

“A melody will often follow from there, or I improvise until I find one,” she said.

“When writing lyrics, I ’ll try to use my own emotions as w r iting prompts.”

“I try to write music that will be meaningful to me, but also resonate with other people that might listen to it.”

A fter f inishing high school this year, Monique said she has found that a c a r e e r i n mu s i c i s something that she really wants to pursue.

“My future in music is definitely not going to be a short one,” Monique said.

Having recently been accepted into the Syd ney A c t ors S cho ol for a Diploma of Musical Theatre, Monique said she is starting to see her career dreams become a reality.

“I would like to have a career in the performing

a r ts i ndustr y l i ke my parents, and I’m seeing that becoming more of a possibility with my recent acceptance into Sydney Actors School.”

I n the meantime, Monique said she w ill continue to play and write

music and take advantage of the opportunities given to her to help expand her v isibility in the music world.

“Music is my passion no doubt and hopefully it will be far into the future as well.”

Monique Bragg is chasing her musical dreams, with her acceptance into the Sydney Actors School to study musical theatre.

Where are all the beetles?

In years gone by, Christmas beetles heralded the Aussie festive season, but their disappearance is bugging scientists who are now asking the public for help.

by JIMMY WHALAN With over 35 different species, Christmas beetles are commonly found in the forests of southern and eastern Australia during the summer.

Featu r i ng a va r iety of colou rs i nclud i ng golden brow n , g reen and black, the beetles’ diet mostly consists of eucalyptus leaves, making them a c ommon sight for Australians around Christmas time.

However, the Christmas

beetle has become a less common sight in recent years, with a survey of the Sydney area showing that the population had declined over the last 30 years, possibly due to large areas of bushland being used for housing.

This survey, however, i s not ne c e s s a r i ly a n indication of Christmas beetle populations in other areas.

In general, experts agree that the population seems to be declining and that two logical explanations

could be climate change and loss of habitat.

It is stressed, however, that to have a definitive answer, scientists would require the public’s help to track Christmas beetle populations to identify where large populations exist and which species are at risk.

If you see any Christmas beetles around your town, you can help track the population by taking a photo and uploading to the iNaturalist app, available for free from the App Store.

Have you seen any Christmas beetles? Are they on the decline? Help scientists track them using a simple app.

Burra Bee Dee protection works commence Works to provide increased security and protection against water damage are now underway at Burra Bee Dee.

L A L C secu red the funding from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for the purpose of maintaining the site as well as the provision of the increased security measures.

Following recent adverse weather conditions, damage occurred to more than 30

grave sites, causing them to begin sinking into the ground.

Mr Booby said that a “dam wall” of sorts will

be erected around parts of the cemetery’s perimeter to help block water from entering the cemetery.

T he wall will be constructed using concrete and treated pine with heav y base paint and is expected to last 10 years.

W h i le the cu r rent works at Burra Bee Dee

Students receive HSC marks The Coonabarabran High School class of 2022 has done the school proud after achieving some impressive results in the HSC.

by JIMMY WHALAN Coonabarabran High School principal, Mary D o ol a n s a id s he wa s incredibly proud of the e f for t s o f t h i s ye a r ’s graduating Year 12 class. “ Notwithstanding the fact that COVID-19 disrupted 50 per cent of their secondary schooling, our students remained resilient, kept mov ing for wa rd a nd at t a i ned thei r Higher S chool Certificates,” Ms Doolan said.

“The success of the class of 2022 is also a product of the dedication of our staff. “ T he students a re a credit to our school, and we wish them every happiness in life’s next chapter.”

Some of the impressive results from the class of 2022 included abovestat-average results in Design and Technology, Industrial Technology, Legal Studies, Modern History and Music.

Jack Larkin received an outstanding perfect score for his major work in Industrial Technology ( Metal) and both Jack L a rk in and A lex Robinson were shortlisted f o r N E S A’s S H A P E exhibition, showcasing ex traord i na r y major works.

Keely Milford received a Band 6 for her work in Design and Technology, as did Alex Robinson for

his work in Industrial Technology (Metal).

As a whole, this year’s g r adu at i n g c l a s s h a s received many offers from a number of universities, as well as many offers of employment and traineeships for those moving into the workforce.

Coonabarabran High S chool captain, Vance McDonald achieved some impressive results, with his best mark being in Music, closely followed

by Modern History and English Advanced.

Vance was rewarded with an overall ATA R of 85, which Vance said was about what he was expecting to get. “ I d e f i n it e ly t h i n k I could’ve worked a bit harder in order to get a better result, but I’m still happy with what I have,” Vance said.

“It’ll get me into the course I’ve been hoping for.”

Next year, Vance plans to go straight to university to study a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in History.

A lex R obi n s on a l s o ach ieved some st el la r results, achieving a Band 6 in Industrial Technology (Metal) and a Band 5 in Rural Operations.

Though he was disappointed he didn’t achieve 80 or above, Alex was still happy with his ATAR of 71.20.

“I’m really pleased with my results, they will allow

7 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 22nd December 2022

me to pursue my passions in the future and reflect the effort and dedication I put into my studies,” Alex said.

While the graduating class of 2022 faced many cha l lenges i nclud i ng C OV I D -19, A lex shared that he was also challenged by dyslexia and Irlen Syndrome.

“Fortunately, there were some really supportive teachers who went above and beyond to help me through,” Alex said.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them and my family.”

A lex said he was fortunate to have secured two early-entry offers for a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours as well as an apprenticeship offer, taking off much of the pressure before the exams. “ I h av e s i n c e b e e n of fered a nother th re e apprenticesh ips a nd a cadetsh ip as a civ i l engineer,” Alex said. “ I decided t o ta ke a power linesman apprenticesh ip w ith Essential Energy so that I can develop practical and foundational skills and they have indicated that they are happy to support me to take on an electrical engineering degree in the future.”

Alishea Rankin performed best in PD/H/ PE and Business Studies, ach iev i ng the ATA R

required for her desired course of nursing.

Alishea explained that another challenge faced by the class of 2022 was the stress that comes with the idea of the HSC. “You’re filled with stress yourself while also being surrounded by the rest of your peers who are also

stressed,” Alishea said. “ It m ade it a l it t le harder to focus at times.”

In February, Alishea is off to the University of Newcastle where she plans to study a Bachelor of Nursing.

A lishea is hoping to one day join the Air Force as a flight nurse and then

progress into the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Jayde S i m’s b e s t subject was Earth and Environmental Science, which was a surprising result for Jayde considering it was such a challenging exam.

After a difficult year, J ay d e s a i d t h e m o s t

important thing was to see the exams through to the end. “ It has truly been a tough year and I pushed t h r ou g h , t h at ’s t he greatest achievement.”

Nex t yea r, Jayde is moving to Sydney to study a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Acting) at JMC Academy.

Year 12 students Alex Freeman, Jared Menz, Alishea Rankin, Alex Robinson and Jayde Sim give a thumbs up for the end of their HSC journey.

2022 Christmas GREETINGS DAVID GRANT Livestock Agency

Wishing all my valued clients a beautiful Christmas surrounded by family and friends!

Happy Moo Year!

M: 0439 421 436

1. So, everyone knows you as Mrs Claus, but what is your actual name?

It’s a secret. Shhhhh.

2. What is your job? Well, I have many jobs and I am just as busy as Santa, which not many people know. I help the elves with making toys and cookies, I care for and look after all the reindeer, I also make sure that Santa’s suit is all clean and ready for Christmas Eve - and more.

3. Do you and Santa ever get to go on holidays? Santa and I are very busy for most of the year preparing for Christmas. We spend all our time making everything perfect for the festive season, so we don’t even really think of going on holidays! Although, we were thinking of going on vacation after Christmas, maybe somewhere warm like Hawaii or Fiji...the possibilities are endless!

4. Do you ever get to help Santa check the naughty and nice lists?

No, that’s Santa’s job. Although he likes to have a nice hot chocolate while he looks over the lists, so I make that for him.

5. What is your favourite part about Christmas and why? What a tricky question. I think I would have to say that my favourite part is seeing all the happy, smiling children on Christmas Day. It is a very rewarding feeling to know that all our hard work from the year is appreciated.

6. How did you meet Santa Claus? I think that’s a question you should ask Santa Claus. He always loves telling the story of how we met.

7. What do you do on Christmas Eve, while Santa is gone? On Christmas Eve, while Santa is out delivering presents, the elves and I stay up watching Christmas movies and baking cookies.

8. What is your favourite thing to do at the North Pole? The North Pole is a very exciting (and cold) place to live. I love making snowmen and going for walks along the white, glistening snow. I would have to say though, my favourite activity to do would be looking at the sky and seeing the beautiful Northern Lights. I’ve heard Coonabarabran also has a very pretty night sky.

9. What do you and Santa eat in the North Pole? Santa and I love to eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially our greens. We also eat lots of food perfect for the cold weather like stew and casseroles.

Eating healthy is very important, but as you know, Santa has quite a sweet tooth. Occasionally we enjoy sweet treats like gingerbread, snicker-doodle cookies, Christmas pudding, and more. Yum! 10. What is your favourite cookie to bake? I love making cookies, especially Christmas cookies. Some of my favourites are gingerbread, choc-chip, oatmeal, snicker-doodle cookies, sugar cookies…oh boy, I don’t think I can choose just one!

11. How do you care for the reindeer? Well, the reindeer love to eat lots of good food like ferns and grass to keep them strong, as well as apples and carrots for a sweet treat. I also care for the reindeer by

making sure their stables are nice and clean. I brush their fur twice a week and train them so that they’re ready for their long flight on Christmas Eve. 12. What do you do after Christmas? After Christmas, Santa, the elves, the reindeer, and myself have a nice relaxing break from all the hard work. The last few weeks leading up to Christmas are very busy and exhausting, so after Christmas it’s very nice to sit back and relax. Not for long though, because it’s soon time to prepare for the next Christmas, It’s all very exciting!

13. Do you listen to music in the North Pole? Absolutely, we love Christmas music! In Santa’s workshop we are always listening to all different kinds of Christmas songs. They help the elves stay uplifted while they work and keep everyone in a festive mood all year round.

Some of our favourite songs to listen to are “Jingle Bells”, “Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer”, and plenty of others. And you can’t got past Mariah!

14. If you could host a dinner party with three other people who would they be? I think I would have to say the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus, of course! What a fun dinner party that would be.

15. How many elves work in Santa’s workshop? There are many, many elves who help out in the workshop. Santa and I care for and love our elf family very much, and if it wasn’t for them, Christmas would never be the same.

16. How old are you? I’m about the same age as Santa.

17. Who is the youngest reindeer? Rudolph is the youngest reindeer, and Dasher is actually the oldest - only slightly older than the others.

Whereas Rudolph is quite a bit younger than the other eight reindeers.

18. What is your least favourite thing about Christmas? Christmas is such a great time of the year, so it’s difficult to choose a least favourite part. I’d probably have to say when Christmas is over, it’s always a little bit sad waiting a whole year for it to be Christmas again.

19. If you had to spend Christmas in another country where would it be? That’s a difficult question to answer because there are so many countries that experience Christmas differently, and I would love to see all of them! Although I have some countries that are on the top of my list and one of them is of course Australia! Hopefully, one time I can come and see what it’s like to have Christmas in Australia, and while I’m there I’ll stop at Coonabarabran to see the famous night sky!

20. Do you have any pets in the North Pole? The North Pole is a very cold place as you know, so not many animals would enjoy living in that environment. However, since I am always looking after the reindeer and caring for them I consider them to be like our pets.

Christmas lights winners Barry and Grace Wilkinson are the winners of this year’s Yarn, Support, Connect Christmas Lights competition run in Coonabarabran.

by CHRIS WARD

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the team at Mint Leaf Cafe!

OPEN WEEKDAYS 7am - 3pm CLOSED PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Chair of Yarn Support Connect, Kodi Brady said the group hoped to bring the Christmas spirit back to Coonabarabran by sponsoring the Christmas lights and decorations competition for the second year running.

And the group has done just that, having inspired many local families to throw a bit of tinsel and Christmas cheer around their homes.

Mr and Mrs Wilkinson, however, have gone a little further than just putting up some tinsel and lights.

Their wonderful Christmas display in King Street is enough to light up the night sky and includes dozens of features including blow up Santas and a nativity scene.

“We have been doing it for years and years,” Mr Wilkinson said.

“We love doing it and we love seeing the smiles on the faces of the children and everyone else that come and have a look.”

The Wi l k i nsons put up thei r ama z i ng decorations and displays every second year.

Every other year they pack up and head away for Christmas, spending time with their family.

Second place went to the ever consistent Nixon family in White Street, who took out the top prize last year, while third place went to the Gall family in Higgins Street.

2022 Christmas GREETINGS

Bugaldie’s big bale Santa Travellers passing through the small community of Bugaldie are pulling up to pose with a giant Santa.

by LIZ CUTTS As Christmas fast approaches, a local resident has got creative and installed the eye-catching round hay bale work of art outside the Bugaldie Memorial Hall, facing the Coonabarabran Road.

Made by Jess Taylor, Bugaldie’s big Santa weighs more than a tonne and stands well over two metres tall.

The giant jolly red elf has become a local talking point and a ‘must-stop’ for travellers, who are pulling over to take photographs.

“I am not at all artistic and I did not have a pattern; it is all free-hand,” Jess said.

“I thought it would be a nice feature decoration for the Bugaldie Hall Christmas party and appropriate for the harvest, which looks like it could go on for a while.

“I did make one at home last year, but this is the first time out in public at the Bugaldie Hall.”

Jess tasked her husband Rob in delivering the two bales to the ‘Santa site’ and secure them safely.

She said it took her less than an hour using cans of spray paint to decorate and added that it’s possible the giant installation might become an annual feature.

“It has generated so much interest that I am now thinking of doing another one next year - and perhaps adding a few of Santa’s well known friends!” Jess concluded.

And what will happen to big Santa after Christmas?

Jess said the hay will probably end up being animal feed, making it the all-round perfect, environmentally-friendly Christmas decoration.

Bugaldie’s big Santa creator, Jess Taylor is dwarfed by her giant festive fun creation.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Preschool We have had such a wonderful time at preschool this year, with all of our lovely preschool f r iends, doing so much together - learning, experimenting, investigating, discovering, playing and having fun. We have loved spending time w ith f r iends

throughout the year and enjoyed our many adventures together.

We f i n i s h e d o f f our year with a spectacular concert at the Tooraweenah Park on Friday, 9 December, where we sang some s ongs , h ad a sma l l presentation to the 14 friends going on to ‘Big School’ next year, and

The big chop: donations help supply wigs to sick children

challenging time.

I have met some truly amazing people over the years; those who have m ad e m e s t o p i n my tracks and think about what is truly important in life.

One of these people is my beautiful sister-inlaw, Sa. I first met Sa in 2013 when my brother, Tim, introduced us on a family holiday in Thailand.

A fter Sa spent time holidaying in Australia,

s h e d e c i d e d t o a p pl y for a pa r t ner v i s a t o l ive i n Au st r a l i a a nd she i ncluded her then 16 -ye a r - old d aug ht er, Ning.

It was a n exciti ng time, full of possibilities for thei r new l i fe i n Australia.

We were all looking for wa rd t o welc om i ng them both into our family and to the Coonabarabran community.

Ning was a beautiful and somewhat reserved

teenager.

She loved to dance and do beautiful hair styles and she was an amazing artist.

She would spend time w ith a l l the ch i ld ren , d o i n g t he i r h a i r a nd nails.

She loved an ima ls and managed to adopt a beautiful ginger kitten and a high-energy kelpie during her time in Coonabarabran.

Her d ream was to become a social worker, helping those around her.

Not long a f ter Ning arrived to start her new l i fe i n A u s t r a l i a , we were sitting outside on a beautiful sunny day and Ning asked me about a lump that she had noticed in her neck.

After months of tests, Ni ng was eventua l ly diagnosed with Lymphoma, which is a cancer that begins in the lymphatic system.

This was to be the start of a ver y cha lleng ing, roller coaster ride of a jou r ney for both Ni ng and Sa. Ning was initiated on chemotherapy in Dubbo; however, when the first round of treatment failed, she was referred to Royal Prince A lfred Hospital (RPA) in Sydney.

T h i s r e q u i r e d b ot h N i n g a nd S a’s l i fe i n C o on a b a r a br a n t o b e completely turned upside down.

They were required to relocate to Sydney, which would be a daunting task f o r a ny o n e , h o w e v e r, pa r ticu la rly so for Sa

and Ning as neither were fluent in English.

Despite all the stress of Ning being unwell and them b oth ne ed i ng t o relocate, Sa took it all in her stride.

She made fr iends everywhere she went and always made the effort to look for the positives in the situation.

I did my best to support them wherever I could, howe ve r, I wa s o f t e n lef t fe el i ng p owerle s s a s N i n g ’s c o nd it i o n deteriorated.

Sa continued to soldier on.

A fter more than two years of treatment going back a nd for th f rom Dubbo and Sydney, Ning was given the devastating news that she was out of treatment options.

She made the decision to come back to Coonabarabran to spend the remainder of time she had left with her mum and Tim on their quiet bush block.

Ning was able to benefit from the Palliative 4 People room at Coonabarabran Hospital, where she spent her final days surrounded by her mu m a nd A u s t r a l i a n family.

T he pr ivacy of the room allowed her to also Skype with her family in Thailand, as we were unfortunately unable to bring them over to say goodbye.

Baradine showground to benefit from grant Baradine showground has benefitted from $82,179 in upgrades as a result of funding success from the NSW Government’s Crown Reserves Improvement Fund (CRIF) 2021/2022.

CRIF is an annual funding program that provides f inancial s u p p o r t to d eve l o p, maintain and improve Crown reserves.

It can be used for repairs and

maintenance projects, pest and weed cont rol, recreationa l infrastructure or env i ro n m enta l initiatives.

T h e p ro j e c t s w e r e identified by Baradine showground user g roups and lodged with the support of the Baradine Crown Land Manager (CLM).

“The current ageing fence around the main a rena was identif ied as a publ ic safet y r i sk i n a gove r nment audit conducted on showground i nf ra s t r uct u re,” said Ch r is Cla r ke, chairperson, Baradine

CLM board.

“A n e w fe n c e w i l l also improve the aesthetic appeal of the showground and addresses event risk management p r o c e d u r e s fo r u s e r groups.

“The Baradine Show committee requested t h e s h e lte r s t r uct u re for seating and tables to address the need to provide more seating at the venue w ith shade fo r p rotection a g a i n s t th e s u n a n d inclement weather.

“The installation of a new access door to a c ove r e d w a l k w a y leading to the disabled

M r s C l a r ke a d d e d that as the showground is a multi - use faci l it y that for ms the social centrepiece of Ba rad i ne, the CL M wants to make sure it is kept in good shape.

“These upgrades not only improve the quality of infrastructure, they help stimulate the local economy by providing wo r k fo r t rad i es and m ate r i a l s s u p p l i e r s ,” she concluded.

Project manager of Camp Cypress, Janet Fitzgerald is delighted with the new entry door at the facility dining room.

No such thing as a ‘safe vape’ Children and teenagers are being targeted by the sellers of electronic cigarette products - and health experts are warning parents about the dangers and where to seek help.

T he scho ol hol idays have started and parents are being urged to look for the signs of vaping in their children and their children’s friends.

Medical experts and NSW Minister for Health, Brad Hazzard say evidence has shown that vaping is akin to breathing in the same harmful chemicals that are found in weed k i l ler a nd na i l-pol ish remover, camou f laged by different flavours and bright colours in a bid to attract youngsters.

Mr Hazzard said the potential harm to children from the products was “enormous”.

NSW chief hea lth of f ic er, D o c t or K er r y Chant encourages parents to spea k w ith thei r children about the dangers of vaping. “ We are encouraging parents to be aware of the dangers vapes pose and to be on the lookout for devices which could look like USB sticks, pens or highlighters,” Dr Chant said. “ Vap e s c ont a i n dangerous ing redients wh ich cou ld cause irreversible damage to the health and development of young people.

“There is no such thing as a safe vape.

“We are also aware that there are links between

mental-health concerns and vaping among young people. “ If parents or young p e ople a r e c onc er ne d for their mental health, they can call the Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511 for referral to the most appropriate service.

“Quitline counsellors on 13 78 48 are also available to answer questions about vaping and provide advice and support for parents and young people.”

Dr Chant said there were massive repercussions for the sale of illegal vapes and urged residents to pr o t e c t c h i ld r e n a nd report retailers doing the wrong thing. “ It ’s encou rag ing to hear parents are taking action to protect their children, and we continue to urge the community to report retailers who are selling illegal vapes,” she said.

“This can be done via the NSW Health website.

This information really helps t o i n form ou r enforcement efforts.

“We continue to use this information to close in on retailers who break the law and sell illegal vapes and liquids containing nicotine.

“This quarter alone we broke records with nearly 53,000 products seized, worth over an estimated

WEATHER WATCH T her e a r e ver y few places across the nation that enjoyed a warmertha n-average spr i ng season this year.

F r om Por t D ou g l a s a long the Q ueensla nd coast to Maryborough, maximum temperatures during the spring were one to two degrees above the long-term normal.

C a i r n s , w it h m e a n maximum temperatures for September, October and November being 30.1, 31.7 and 32.7 respectively, m ade it t he wa r me s t ever spr i ng season at Cairns in 133 years of re cords. T he prev ious wa rmest spr i ng bei ng in 2015 and that alone did set up heavy rains in Cairns in December 1915 and heavier rains in January 1916, which was a widespread wet month over most of easter n Australia.

“Earlier this year we put retailers across the state on notice; if they were selling illegal vapes, they would be caught, illegal items seized and destroyed, and they could face prosecution.

Kookas Christmas round up Following well-attended presentation day in October, followed by a good turn out for the annual general meeting of the Coonabarabarn Rugby Club in November, the Kookas are looking forward to another competitive year in 2023 Coonabarabran played its best rugby in probably 30 years in the last two games of the September f i n a l s e r ie s i n 2 0 2 2 , beating the undefeated premiership favourites, Blayney, in an away game, and then playing out a dramatic and thrilling extra time 21-all draw at Molong to share a joint premiership title w ith them These two games have energised a confidence in the club that we could do this again, and at the presentation day it seemed

Special mention from the pr esent at ion go es to Pam McCaffrey, who g raciously received a posthumous L i fe Membership on behalf of her husband, John, who we all know passed away during the year. John was the town’s much-loved local solicitor and was instrumental in founding the club in 1982 and he did a marvellous job in getting the club ready to play in the very competitive Central North comp in 1983. John was the club president for two years, later coached, and without him we would not exist.

John donated an award called the ‘ P resident’s Aw a r d ’ i n w h i c h t h e president of that year is the sole judge and the award goes to a member of the club which he or she judges as the most instrumental, yet unseen contributor for that year.

It is quite unique to our club and this year Daniel James was the deserved winner. Of all the club’s trophies, the President’s Award is by the far of the h ighest qua l ity, bei ng a solid silver tray. It is in keeping with John’s highest of standards and at the re cent meeti ng it wa s vot ed th at the trophy would add some engraving so, in future, it will be known as the ‘John McCa f f rey P resident ’s Aw a r d ’, w i t h h i s o l d member’s badge from 1983 glued on, as he was and still is the club’s number one ticket holder.

Executive committee T he a n nua l genera l meeting had no trouble in re-appointing Steve McEvoy as president for

another term, following his outstanding work in the chair this year. His jovial manner, mixed with a well-principled set of standards that have to be met by the rest of the committee, players and supporters alike, have helped make Kookaburras rugby an inclusive club for everyone.

Jed McEvoy also returns as vice president a nd he is a ver y good apprentice to his dad, and a wonderful connection between the playing group and the committee. Some new blood with the very experienced and efficient Brad Condon, who returns to the committee as the secretary, while Neville McCarthy remains the treasurer. Keith Wilson was unchallenged to keep the most important job in the club - which is running the canteen and barbecue.

The remainder of the committee is much the same, except for the new add it ion s of S a m a nd M add ie Wi lson;. Sam, being one of the leading players in the starting XV, and Maddie, the muchdeserved winner of ‘best supporter’ for 2022 as the irreplaceable team st r app er. T h i s c ouple was instrumental in our suc cess last yea r a nd I’m sure they will both have plenty of ideas to contribute to the future direction of next year’s club.

Junior League ambassador Newly-appointed Life Member Paul Nieberding has been volunteered to be the ambassador to the Junior Rugby Club, whose numbers have fallen away

alarmingly. The junior club is in desperate need of Paul’s cool head and wisdom to resurrect the club to its former glory.

With two g randsons not that far away from playing, he is the perfect man for such a role.

Coaching revamp T here have been a some changes in the coaching staff, with Peter Redden, who successfully completed his introduction as a co-coach understudy to Stu Thomas last year, taking on the head role this year.

Peter had no better role model than Stu last year, who is probably one of the best bush coaches going around. Stu’s knowledge of the game was certainly important, but his real streng th has been his abi l ity t o ma nage the players. Obviously, some are better than others, some are brand new to the game and others aren’t as good as they used to be; managing all this is a real skill. Stu’s sixth sense is in knowing that you don’t have to be equal, but you certainly have to be fair to create a unified group of players, because the most gifted player in the team will go off his game if he can see his best mate with not a lot of ability, only getting a few minutes of game time each week.

The more exciting news is that Sam Clifton will be Peter ’s co - coach i n 2023 - and there weren’t too many players better than Sam in his day. Sam had plenty of skills, was equally as good playing in the forwards or the backline and was super competitive. So, if he can

pass even a small amount of his knowledge to the players, they will be all the better for it.

Tom Redden will also be part of the coaching team, leading the fitness and skills’ sessions, Tom certainly took some kilos of f a lot of players at the start of last season and they looked all the f itter for it. Tom, who bravely played the full 100 minutes of the grand final with a serious shoulder injury has recently had surgery and will not be available to play for the first half of the season, so the number 10 shirt is available for any one who thinks they are capable.

Join the Kookas A lthough the club is in rarefied air in recent y e a r s w i t h pl e n t y o f players, supporters and generous sponsors - more are always welcome. As I have stated over many years, playing ability is no barrier to being part of the team. Who knows?

You may be the best singer on the bus, tell the best joke in the dressing shed before big games or your f a m i ly may ju st ne e d to have a day out each week. So come along and feel part of a community sporting club, it matters not your reason to play, it c a n on ly be a ver y your feeble excuse that is stopping you having the best fun ever.

I have had promises to play in 2023 from Nick Baker and Tyler Ballard, and Tom Redden has Tom Roworth along with Tom Cleary as sworn starters.

Now their names are in print it is going to be very awkward for them to do

otherwise, so if these guys are willing to have a crack - why not you?

Radio star Back by popular demand after last year’s growing audiences is the broadcast of all games on 2WCR. It quite amazing to learn the amount of locals and those from away that would tune in each week to listen to David Bruce’s wonderful commentary.

DJ and Cis are away in the USA at present to sha re Ch r istmas w ith their youngest son, Nick, along with his gorgeous Californian wife Katie and her family. By all repor ts D J has been talking to a number of radio networks in the U.S. to see if they would be interested in taking the K o ok abu r ra c overage.

So, next year the players could be getting letters and cards from people they don’t even know!

Women’s rugby?

Stu Thomas may not be lost to rugby yet, as he has been mumbling for some years now about or ga n i si ng a women’s team to compete in the Central West 10 -aside competition. I think he just needs six or seven girls to approach him and say “yes”. Let’s do this to get him inspired. Would be no one better qualified for this role than Stu, so any girls out there who think this is something they would love to do, how about you track down Stu and talk to him about the possibilities.

Merry Christmas.

Cubs v Panthers game sharpens Olivia’s goals Selection for a big rugby league game in Bathurst was just what Olivia Milsom needed to gain experience and the confidence to set higher goals for the future.

by CHRIS WARD From Coonabarabran, Olivia got a taste of what it’s like to be in the big league when she was selected to play in a team against the Penrith Panthers under 19’s 2023 Tarsha Gale side.

A trial/selection match was played between the Western Cubs and the Panthers side on Saturday, 9 December at Bathurst.

Olivia earned selection in the Cubs, which is linked as a feeder club with the Penrith Panthers.

Olivia joined the makeshift Cubs’ side that was put together at the last minute.

Considering the side had not played or trained together before, they did well to only be beaten by one try.

Olivia’s mother, Naomi Milsom, said her daughter played well and didn’t take

a backward step all game.

“The opposition was a much bigger team and Olivia kept turning up and tackling,” she said.

“She definitely held her own in the team.

But mostly it was just an amazing opportunity for her to experience playing at that level.”

Now Olivia has had a taste of a big game she wants more.

Her mother said initially it wasn’t exactly a goal for

Olivia; she just wanted to gain experience and knowledge for the game.

“But now she’s had that experience I think she’s getting more into the idea of playing at a higher level,” Mrs Milsom said.

Olivia will continue participating in the RISE program in Dubbo once a fortnight and is looking forward to running with the Castlereagh Cougars under 18’s rugby league side again next year.

Coona Cup to race Friday FROM BACK PAGE Jockey Club president, Ad a m F re e m a n s a i d ever yone was excited to have racing back in Coonabarabran.

“The last 12 months or so has been really difficult for smaller country tracks with all the rain that’s forced so many meets to be abandoned,” he said.

“We’re really grateful to receive this date from Racing NSW and I think it

works out really well.

“People will be able to let their hair down a little bit before Christmas hits and take a bit of the stress out of it.

“Not only that, but it makes the races a perfect idea for a work Christmas party.”

Although the weather has caused havoc throughout 2022, at this stage the fo recast i s looking like it will be a

phenomenal day at the track.

Early indications suggest a slightly cloudy day with a top of just 26 degrees, making for per fect conditions for racing and spectating.

Fashions on the Field will be back - with a Christmas theme!

Prizes will be awarded on the day for best male and female Christmas outfits.

WEEKEND GOLF It’s ham time on the Coonabarabran golf course and that brings out all sorts of scores. The weather was great for golf last weekend and the scores were too.

The winner of the ham was Craig Bennell with 38 points. Well done Craig, well deserved.

Ball winners were J Davis 37, R Bailey 36, W Bennell 35 and D

Stevenson 34 on a count back This Saturday there will be another ham up for grabs, so I hope your golf is in form as you will need a good score to get one.

The course is looking excellent, thanks to Nathan and all his team for all the work they are doing. You all need a good break over Christmas and

New Year.

This is the last report until 12 January. There will be golf played every Saturday. If you’re unsure, please get in contact with someone on the Board.

From all the staff and Board,have a great Christmas and New Year and we look forward to good golfing in 2023.

BOWLO BRIEFS There was a good roll up for bowls at the Coonabarabran Bowling Club last Sunday, 18 December, with weather conditions perfect for the day’s play.

Coonabarabran’s Olivia Milsom meets some strong defence from the Penrith Panthers under 19’s side when playing for the Western Cubs in a trial rugby league match on 9 December.

19 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 22nd December 2022

Enough players turned up to allow one game of triples and one game of pairs to be played.

Club staff and members would like to wish everybody a Merry

Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.

Hoping to see everybody back in the new year - all new comers will be most welcome.

Perfect time for the Cup

A wet year has forced numerous postponements in the horse-racing calendar, but the weather forecast is perfect this time around.

by CHRIS WARD Get in the festive spirit at the Coonaba rab ra n Bow l i ng Cl ub Christmas Race meet tomorrow Friday, 23 December.

It’s an eight-race program including the 1600 -metre Coonabarabran

Showcase Cup, which could possibly feature a direct descendent of racing royalty.

Too Much Caviar, grandson of the famous Black Caviar, has been nominated in the Cup, which has a healthy $75,000 in prize money.

Not to mention the five-year-old

gelding is trained by none other than the Queen of racing herself, Gai Waterhouse.

Wh i l e it’s h ig h l y un l i kel y the trainer will make an appearance in Coonabarabran, you can expect Gai and her team will be watching Too Much Caviar’s performance closely.

The Newcastle-based Kris Lees has also nominated a number of runners at the meet, including Baltic Coast in the main event.

The Coonabarabran Jockey Club committee is excited to finally be back racing after the original Cup meeting was postponed due to the

heavy rains in mid October.

It will be a great day of family fun, with whispers circulating that Santa may even make an appearance.

As usual, there will be full bar facilities and catering provided by different community groups.

Consolidation of secondary school campuses approved MOREE State government approval has been granted for a consolidation of secondary school campuses in Moree.

Moree Secondary College’s two sites – Albert Street and Carol Avenue – will eventually be co-located at one site.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall was joined by Moree Plains Shire Council mayor Mark Johnson and staff, parent and school community representatives for the announcement last week.

Mr Marshall praised the persistence of the Moree community to achieve the outcome which he described as a huge win for the community.

“The community has consistently advocated for all students to be together on one site and I am delighted we’ve able to deliver this for current and future students,” Mr Marshall said.

Kicking goals in wild dog control NORTHERN TABLELANDS The NSW Northern Tablelands boasts some of the most rugged terrain in the state but is kicking goals when it comes to community and landholder engagement in a nil-tenure approach to wild dog control.

The National Wild Dog Action Plan took a deep dive with Northern Tablelands Local Land Services general manager Paul Hutchings to find out the secret behind the success of the coordinated control programs.

A total of 40 wild dog management plans have been developed across three million hectares – up from 2.5 million in 2019 – involving 2500 landholders committed to a shared vision.

Ninety-two pest animal control groups target fox, wild dog, feral pig and feral deer in areas of existing and new activity, with more than 450 landholders alone involved in aerial baiting programs.

Last financial year, 64 community meetings brought producers and stakeholders together to instil a shared commitment for collective action around coordinated control programs for wild dogs, foxes, feral pig and deer.

“These meetings bring land managers together to not only talk about our planned aerial and ground baiting programs to ensure they have input to where bait lines are laid, but also we invest in those groups through the National Landcare Program or LLS pest levy funding, so they have funds to engage trappers or purchase tools such as canid pest ejectors,” Mr Hutchings said.

“This gives the group ownership and the resources so they can make sure they maintain the capability of wild dog control.

“Our aerial baiting program alone costs $300,000 per year, excluding staff time, so having the shared funding from government ensures all stakeholders are working together.

“We have agreed management plans with the wild dog associations so they can outline the expectations of all parties – Local Land Services, Forest Corp, National Parks and Wildlife Service and private landholders.”

Mr Hutchings paid tribute to the work done by Centre for Invasive Species Solutions North East NSW wild dog facilitator David Worsley.

According to annual land and stock returns, the Northern Tablelands has among the highest livestock carrying capacities of any region in NSW. It also harbours a significant pest animal population with plentiful habitat and food sources.

“Not only is it rugged terrain in parts of the region, but we have a lot of public land, national park and forest corporation estate – much of it is inaccessible country, whether that is freehold or public land creating connection to the coast allowing the migration of wild dogs between the two areas,” Mr Hutchings said.

Last year, Northern Tablelands Local Land Services had 480 land managers involved in wild dog ground baiting programs and 883 in aerial feral pest control programs.

“Wild dogs have been in this part of the world for a long time with more reports of activity in the western falls country than five or 10 years ago,” Mr Hutchings said.

“However, we can’t confirm if that is people’s awareness of the value of reporting and working with Local Land Services or if it is genuinely new wild dog activity.

“It’s that fine line between more awareness around services to support people dealing with wild dogs versus actual wild dog activity and the change around enterprises from cattle to sheep.”

The model NSW Local Land Services uses is based on strategic baiting and suppression of wild dogs.

“We know it makes a difference in terms of dog and fox numbers.

Where we have done studies around Guy Fawkes National Park, the quoll populations in areas of long-term aerial baiting are greater and the fox populations are lower,” Mr Hutchings said.

“Landholder reporting is an important part of intervention and the reactive programs to back up the proactive or strategic programs.

“The outcome is to protect agriculture industries and the

environment from wild dogs – it’s not about dogs hanging in a tree.”

Baiting programs are carried out each autumn and every few years in spring.

Mr Hutchings said there was a correlation between bait deployment and coordinated programs, and a reduction in predation.

“When looking at trends, there is no doubt the more we bait, the greater reduction in predation reports.”

A new bait shed has enabled Local Land Services to more effectively provide a service to landholders with increased space for equipment storage and a large freezer for baits.

Another bait shed facility in the region is also being upgraded with a new cool room and larger footprint for an improved service.

Northern Tablelands Local Land Services board chairman Grahame Marriott shone a light on the extent and complexity of the wild dog control program in the region.

“There is meticulous planning,

TRAVEL IN STYLE

mapping, baiting precision and engagement with landholders and community. There are so many people working together to make these wild dog control programs an outstanding success,” Mr Marriott said.

“It is a great demonstration of a coordinated community program with landholders at the centre.

“The National Wild Dog Action Plan couldn’t be delivered without the level of community support and coordination and there are significant in-kind and financial contributions from the Wild Dog Control Associations and other government agencies.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the work the Local Land Services team do to coordinate these programs – there are just so many benefits across the region to the agriculture sector, the environment and community.”

Paul Hutchings said the motivations and challenges associated with removing wild dogs from areas was having a shared

commitment, or land managers being involved, engaged and willing to work in a coordinated manner.

“That’s where the group approach is really important – it becomes a challenge with absentee landholders but for the most part it is having the time and resources to support people in a coordinated approach.

“We have a lot of landholder volunteers and government employees involved in this process, so it is very much about bringing people together to make it happen - less about the technical side and more about the social aspect.

“People who have experienced direct predation are keen to be involved and make things happen, but it is challenge involve those people who either run cattle, don’t see as many impacts from wild dogs or live further away from the area. There is also increasing concern around 1080 use and the role of wild dogs or dingoes.”

Keepit restocked with Murray cod KEEPIT DAM A state-wide fish stocking program continues to play a vital role in enhancing recreational fishing opportunities and strengthening fish populations across NSW. Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the drought was devastating for fish populations in Keepit Dam and the NSW government was stepping in, releasing a record number of native fish into the region’s waterways, including 40,000 Murray cod fry released in December.

“NSW Department of Primary Industries Fisheries produce the fish fry or fingerlings at their state-of-the-art hatcheries that are then released across the state,” Mr Anderson said. “They continue to breed strong, healthy native fish and have been releasing them into waterways across the state, helping native populations recover.

“In 2023, DPI will continue to breed fingerlings as part of the state’s largest-ever breeding program, aimed at sustaining fish populations in NSW lakes and rivers following years of drought.

“The NSW government is

committed to breeding millions of native fish, salmonoid and marine species each year to keep our lakes and rivers well stocked for future generations.

Mr Anderson said the region’s anglers could look forward to successful seasons in the future after a lean couple of years while fish populations bounce back.

“We know that fishing is a significant economic driver for regional community, and for Reflections Holiday Park here at Lake Keepit so it’s a win, win for us to restock the dam.

“Not only do we preserve our iconic Murray cod, we also have an opportunity to boost tourism and fishers flock to catch these cod in the future. We hope that these stockings continue to bolster the recreational fishing industry that contributes over $3.4 billion to the state’s economy every year.

“The 2022-23 season is expected to be one of the biggest yet, with favourable conditions, good natural recruitment and the government’s stocking program resulting in high quality fishing opportunities for natives and trout across popular impoundments and river systems.”

KEEPIT DAM RESTOCKED: Ozfish Northwest’s Anne Michie joined Member for Tamworth Anderson to release the fry at Keepit Dam in December.

Consolidation of secondary school campuses approved Continued from front page

“This outcome comes in large part from the ongoing efforts of the P&C Association and the local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG), who have pushed for the consolidation since 2017,” Mr Marshall said.

“The time of students and staff moving from one side of the town to the other every school day, as well as wasteful duplication, is almost at an end – and not before time.

“I am thrilled with this outcome and while it was a while coming, people power has once again prevailed.”

In a double win for Moree, Mr

It’s so important the community has ownership of the new high school we will create ADAM MARSHALL Marshall said the Minister for Education had agreed with his request that the school community decide which of the two campuses would host the new high school, rather than the Department of Education.

“It’s so important the community has ownership of the new high school we will create, not just its name or the uniform, but importantly, on which of the two existing campuses it will be situated,”

he said.

“Over the next week, the school community will have an opportunity to respond to a survey to choose the preferred campus for the new school.

“This is a critical aspect of the school consolidation and I urge the school community to have their say.

“Once the site has been chosen by the community, further announcements will be made,

including the timeframe for the consolidation and new infrastructure to be constructed for the new school.”

Moree Secondary College P&C Association president Kelly James has spearheaded a grass-roots campaign to merge both campuses into one.

The confirmation that the P and C Association’s goal of a merger had been finally achieved, was an exciting outcome for Mrs James.

“An overhaul to secondary education in Moree is long overdue, and this is a massive and welcome step in the right direction,” Mrs James said.

“It is an important outcome to

ensure the future growth of our school, our town and our shire” Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said it is important to adapt and change to best suit the school community.

“The NSW government is focused on ensuring students across the state have the best school experience and this is an important decision for the future of education in Moree,” Ms Mitchell said.

“I look forward to working with the local community to ensure the right decision is made and the school has the resources they need to relocate to one site.”

The ‘year of floods’ but exciting times ahead

By FEDERAL MEMBER FOR PARKES MARK COULTON

Reflecting on the past 12 months, 2022 has undoubtedly been ‘the year of flooding’ for the Parkes electorate.

Just as we became accustomed to living with COVID-19, Mother Nature threw another curveball our way, in the form of rainfall.

It’s hard to imagine that just a few short years ago we were in the midst of one of the worst droughts in living memory, wondering if it would ever rain again.

And now, the question is when will the rain end?

Communities throughout the electorate have felt the impact of this relentless rain and flooding, including Moree, Gunnedah and Narrabri where homes and businesses were flooded, and Wee Waa which has been cut off for weeks on end.

I was pleased to be able to bring the Minister for Emergency Management Murray Watt to Moree in November to see the damage first-hand, as well as meet with the mayors of Moree Plains, Narrabri and Gunnedah shire councils to discuss how we can best help them recover.

Most significant is the need for urgent funding to fix our roads.

Wherever you live, you will have certainly noticed the deterioration of our roads as a result of the rain and flooding, as local councils struggle to keep up with repairs.

I am pushing for the federal government to provide emergency funding to help councils across the Parkes electorate repair water damaged roads.

It’s a major issue and one that will require significant funding from both the state and federal governments to resolve.

As always, it’s our farmers who have copped the brunt of the weather, and my thoughts are with those who have lost crops or livestock or are desperately hoping it’ll dry out enough for a harvest.

This year has been a bittersweet one for me politically.

I experienced one of my proudest days as the Member for Parkes when the $35 million Western Cancer Centre in Dubbo was officially opened, and just recently I celebrated 15 years since I was first

elected.

Unfortunately, the Coalition lost government at the May election, which has made my job a little bit more difficult.

But as I travel around the electorate, it’s wonderful to see there’s still so many great opportunities ahead.

Despite the wet weather, construction of the Inland Rail has powered ahead and it’s great to see the line between Narrabri and Moree is now open in time for harvest.

Major construction on the Narrabri to North Star Phase 1 section is due to be completed in early 2023, while Phase 2 is still in the approvals stage.

It’s an exciting time for the region, and I will continue to work hard to ensure we can make the most of it.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas, and a healthy and happy 2023.

Kicking goals in wild dog control Continued from page 2

Northern Tablelands Local Land Services use a neighbour notification process before aerial baiting is carried out.

“We send out over 1200 neighbour notification letters to landowners within 1km of the proposed bait line and that generates conversations, enabling Local Land Services to engage with those people,” Mr Hutchings said.

“For the most part we receive really strong support for coordinated wild dog control.”

Mr Hutchings said a tenure-neutral approach to wild dog management was important to success.

“Forest Corporation of NSW contribute to the program costs, allowing access to their estate for aerial baiting, while National Parks and Wildlife Service

coordinate with Local Land Services to bait on freehold and public land.

“All control work is scheduled at essentially the same time to achieve the maximum effect on the wild dog population.

“The national approach under the National Wild Dog Action Plan is really important as we have the commitment backing us, plus the resources and knowledge of techniques and programs.

“The plan is a great source of information, advocacy and point of reference that wild dogs are on the national agenda. It does help ensure we have lessons, issues and information from different parts of Australia available for sharing.

“We can tap into the knowledge base of Greg Mifsud (national wild dog management coordinator)

and NE wild dog coordinator David Worsley as needed.”

Mr Hutchings paid tribute to Mr Worlsey for his continued support of community led management groups across the Northern Tablelands and north east NSW, with over 40 wild dog management plans signed and delivered across the region.

He said Mr Worlsey had worked closely with Local Land Services staff to assist with the planning and delivery of one of the largest aerial and ground baiting programs in the state.

“The 2022 autumn program involved 396 landholders, 24 state forest areas, 3434km of aerial bait lines and combined (aerial and ground) 137,381 baits in 2021, just within the Northern Tablelands Local Land Services region alone.

Feedback is gathered at the community meetings before the proposed baiting programs and afterwards to give an after-action review.

“We debrief on the key issues such as logistics, weather, bait preparation and quality,” Mr Hutchings said.

“During programs there are daily updates so there is an opportunity for live, on-the-spot feedback, and at the end for review and continuous improvement.”

Mr Hutchings said non-lethal tools such as exclusion fencing were also used by regional landholders, while Local Land Services had worked with a council on a barrier fence.

“Barrier fencing is a potential tool we are testing and we had a consultant evaluate the

economic viability of wild dog exclusion fencing ... to see if the lessons from it could be transferred elsewhere.

“There are challenges in terms of maintenance and accountability around fences to ensure they are dog proof.

“There is no doubt wild dog predation has such a negative effect on people’s mental health. The economic cost is one thing but the uncertainty, the lack of control and the visual effect of seeing your animals torn apart is very hard.

“We cannot underestimate the mental impacts on some people particularly when it combines with other factors like drought and bushfire. The group approach provides a peer network of emotional support while the industry scale adds another level.”

Stay safe on country roads this Christmas NSW Farmers is urging motorists to take extra care on country roads this Christmas, with months of flooding causing widespread damage.

There was still a lot of heavy machinery on the move across the state after flooding delayed harvest efforts, NSW Farmers Grains Committee chair Justin Everitt said, and changed road conditions meant everyone had to exercise care.

“There’s still a lot of large agricultural vehicles moving on country roads at the moment, and we’d hate to see a joyous time of the year turn to tragedy for any family,” Mr Everitt said. “The roads are pretty

The roads are pretty shocking in a lot of areas, and the delayed start to harvest means you may see more big vehicles about.

shocking in a lot of areas, and the delayed start to harvest means you may see more big vehicles about.

“We’re urging everyone to slow down and keep an eye out so we can all get home for a merry

Christmas.”

Even though getting stuck behind a slow-moving truck or tractor could be frustrating, Mr Everitt said, showing patience and keeping a safe distance was critical for everyone’s safety.

“Conditions may not be what you expect, so don’t take any risks because the results could be catastrophic,” he said. “Remember, if the driver of a large vehicle can’t see you then they don’t know you’re there – so stay back at a safe distance and don’t be impatient.

“It’s better to be a little late than not to arrive at all, let’s all work together to get to the finish line safely.”

December 22, 2022-January 4, 2023

Double demerits in force from December 23 Double demerit points will be in place in NSW for 11 days over the Christmas and New Year holidays from Friday, December 23 until Monday, January 3.

Double demerit periods typically fall during holiday periods or over long weekends. They run from midnight on the start date to midnight on the finish date and are enforced by police. Motorists are asked to drive safely and take extra care.

During double demerit periods, double demerit points apply for speeding, illegal use of mobile phones, not wearing a seat belt and riding without a motorcycle helmet. Keep in mind that Mobile Phone Detection Cameras are active in NSW and drivers caught using their phones during a

double demerit period will be hit with a $352 fine ($469 in a school zone) and 10 demerits.

Certain driving and parking offences attract an additional demerit point if committed in an operating school zone. Remember to always drive with care and attention through school zones.

Be aware that failing to do so can come with heavy penalties.

Under the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 2017, double demerit periods apply over a long weekend when a public holiday falls on a Thursday or Friday, or a Monday or Tuesday. The period extends to the day before a public holiday to account for an increase in road users, with many people taking the opportunity to enjoy a long weekend.

The Night Before Christmas in Australia ‘Twas the night before Christmas; there wasn’t a sound.

Not a possum was stirring; no one was around.

We’d left on the table some tucker and beer, Hoping that Santa Claus soon would be here; We children were snuggled up safe in our beds, While dreams of pavlova danced ‘round in our heads; And Mum in her nightie and Dad in his shorts, Had just settld down to watch TV sports.

When outside the house a mad ruckus arose; Loud squaking and banging woke us from our doze.

We ran to the screen door, peeked cautiously out, Snuck onto the deck, then let out a shout!

Guess what had woken us up from our snooze, But a rusty old ute pulled by eight might ‘roos.

The cheerful man driving was giggling with flee, And we both knew at once who this plump bloke must be.

Now, I’m telling the truth, it’s all dinki-di, Those eight kangaroos fairly soared through the sky.

Santa leaned out of the window to pull at the reins, And encouraged the ‘roos, by calling their names.

‘Now Kylie! Now, Kirsty! Now, Shazza and Shane!

On Kipper! On Skipper! On Bazza and Wayne!

Park up on that water tank, grab a quick drink, I’ll scoot down the gum tree. Be back in a wink!’

So up to the tank those eight kangaroos flew, With the ute full of toys, and Santa Claus too.

He slid down the gum tree and jumped to the ground, Then in through the window he sprang with a bound.

He had bright, sunburned cheeks and a milky white beard, A jolly joker was how he appeared.

He wore khaki stubby shorts and old thongs on his feet, And a hat of deep crimson as shade from the heat.

His eyes - bright as opals - Oh! How they twinkled!

And, like a goanna, his skin was quite wrinkled!

His shirt was stretched over a round, bulging belly, Which shook when he moved, like a plate full of jelly.

A fat stack of prezzies he flung from his back, And he looked like a swaggle unfastening his pack.

He spoke not a word, but bent down on one knee, To position our goodies beneath the yule tree.

Surfboard and footy-ball shapes for us two, And for Dad, tongs to use on the new barbecue.

A mysterious package he left for our Mum, Then he turned and he winked and he held up his thumb; He strolled out on deck and his ‘roos came on cue; Flung his sack in the back and prepared to shoot through.

He bellowed out loud as they swooped past the gates, “Merry Christmas to all, and goodonya, Mates!”

Recipe of the Week

Find all your fresh fruit and veg at Paradise Fresh, Narrabri.

Dominique’s Herbed Apple, Pecan & Sultana Stuffing For as long as I can remember, this stuffing has made it’s appearance at my family’s holiday table, compliments of my Dad This was always one of his special contributions to the holiday meal, and I can’t remember a Christmas dinner without it. It’s perfect for stuffing a chicken or turkey, or bake some as a side dish for just about any meal.

INGREDIENTS Seasoned Bread Mix: 30 Slices of bread (White, Wheat, Sourdough, gluten-free, or mix them up!)

3 Tablespoons Dried Minced Onions 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder ½ teaspoon Pepper ⅓ cup Cooking Oil 3 Tablespoons Parsley Flakes ¾ teaspoon Ground Sage Stuffing: 2 Granny Smith Apples, cored, peeled and chopped 2-3 good hands full of sultanas (or half a large box) 1 large bag of shelled pecans, chopped coursley 1 small onion, chopped finely 1 small block of butter, melted 3 stalks of Celery, chopped finely ½ to 1 full can of beer (Optional) 2 cups hot water (reduce to 1 cup if using beer!)

(I never really measure any of this, so these are approximate measurements. Be as creative as you like, add or omit ingredients as you

wish. This recipe is very versatile and you can play around and add your own spices and flavours that you like.)

Seasoned Bread Mix: Cut bread slices into fairly good sized cubes...approx half an inch. Preheat oven to 100-150c (only warm, at this stage you only want to dry out the bread, not actually bake it.

Toss cubes with the oil and spices, coating them fairly evenly.Spread bread cubes onto 2 pans and let them dry, stirring occassionally.

Remove from oven and let the cubes cool slightly.

At this point these seasoned cubes can be stored in air-tight containters.

Making the Stuffing: Toss all ingredients with herbed cubes from first part of recipe. The mixture should be fairly moist but not soggy. Use this mixture to stuff into your chicken or turkey or spread evenly in a baking dish and bake for about 2 hours on about 180c, covering with foil for the first hour, letting it brown a bit during the 2nd hour.

The beer is optional, but I will tell you a quick little story...

When I moved away from home and was unable to make it back to my parent’s house for Christmas dinner, I would make this stuffing for myself and whoever else I had over for the holiday dinner, but it never came out like Dad’s did. I asked him about it a few times but he said it must be Dad’s Love that’s missing from my mix. The next time I was able to be home for a holiday dinner, I sat and watched Dad make it again, and I realised what I’d been missing...the beer! Next time I made it, I used beer instead of so much water, and it came out nearly perfect...I still think Dad’s Love is missing in there somewhere though!

Last Minute Fruit cake

This cake doesn’t need to be made weeks ahead of Christmas, but can be made well ahead if time allows.

It’s also easier to use 1 1/4 kg of mixed dried fruit in place of the fruit listed.

• 2½ cups (375g) sultanas • 1½ cups (250g) chopped raisins • 1 2/3 cups (250g) currants • 3/4 cup (125g) mixed peel • ½ cup (125g) halved glace cherries • 1/4 cup (60g) chopped glace pineapple • 1/4 cup (60g) chopped glace apricots • 250g butter • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

• ½ cup brandy, rum or orange juice • ½ cup water • 2 teaspoons grated orange rind • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind • 1 tablespoon treacle • 5 eggs, lightly beaten • 1 3/4 cups plain flour • 1/3 cup self raising flour • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda Line a deep 23cm. round or 20cm. square cake pan with three layers of paper, bringing paper 5cm. above edge of pan. Combine fruit, butter, sugar, brandy and water in pan, stir over heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Simmer, covered 10 minutes; cool to room temperature.

Stir rinds, treacle and eggs, then sifted dry ingredients into fruit mixture.

Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan, decorate top of cake with blanched almonds and whole glace cherries, if desired. Bake in slow 150c oven about two hours, or until cake is cooked when tested. Cover hot cake with foil, cool in pan.

To store: When completely cool, wrap in layers of cling wrap, foil and newspaper and store somewhere cool and dry.

• Fruit can be marinated in the alcohol for up to a week, in a glass jar or a bowl, turning or stirring regularly.
