A sign of the times or missed opportunity?

A Warrumbungle Shire Council project to update town entrance signage has sparked significant community debate, centering around the inclusion of traditional Aboriginal Country names...or lack thereof.

Council is currently inviting residents to provide feedback on the proposed designs for signage in various townships, w ith copies d i splayed at ke y l o c a t i o n s i n c l u d i n g supermarkets and Council offices, as well as online.

Residents are encouraged to s u b m i t t h e i r o p i n i o n s through Council’s official c h a n n e l s by 4 . 3 0 p m o n Friday, 7 June.

Despite active discussions

on social media, only written submissions made through Council’s website or in hard copy to the general manager will be considered.

Acknowledgement Councillor Kodi Brady has been a vocal advocate for i nco r po rati ng t rad iti ona l Country names on the new signage.

Cr Brady expressed d i sappoi ntment ove r the proposal to include these

names only on brass plaques on the sandstone footings, potentia l l y un noticed by passersby travelling at speed. “ I’m ve r y app reciative that there’s something, but I still feel it falls short – if you are driving past at 40, 50, 70 kilometres per hour, it will go unseen,” Cr Brady said.

“These signs are going to be in place for 50-plus years – we need to get it right.”

In contrast, the Economic

Development and Tourism Advisory Committee initially r e s o l ve d n ot to i n c l u d e Aboriginal Country wording in the Town Entrance Sign Project at a meeting held in August last year.

While this was reconsidered at its most recent meeting in February, where the option to install brass plaques was put for ward, the decision has been met with criticism from local Indigenous leaders

and community members who feel that proper a ck n ow l e d g m e nt of t h e traditional custodians of the land is essential.

Disconnect M i c h a e l Ro s s , C E O o f Baradine Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), and B randon Ni xon, CEO of Coonabarabran LALC, have both made strong objections to the exclusion of traditional Country names from the signs

and a re cal l ing fo r mo re visible recognition.

M r Ross emphasised t h e i m p o r ta n ce of s u c h acknowledgments, which are standard at many public events and locations.

“As an Indigenous man myself, I like to know whose Country I am leaving, and whose country I am entering,” Mr Ross said.

Have your say on town signs...

FROM FRONT Mr Nixon echoed these sentiments, stressing that failing to include Aboriginal Country names would mar the positive relationship between the Gamilaraay people and War rumbungle Shire Council.

“Not having Aboriginal wording on the new town signage will only cause a disconnect between Aboriginal people and the land,” Mr Nixon said.

“Aboriginal people develop a sense of belonging to their community through the land, the sky, and the water. We welcome people to our land with open arms and are extremely proud to ‘show it off’.”

Mr Nixon said a number of key tourism attractions - War r umbungle National Par k, Siding Spr ing Observatory, Pilliga Forest and the Castlereagh River - boasted a long, rich history of Aboriginal culture, history and practises.

“These tourism areas are visited all year round by locals and visitors who have a strong interest in the rich Aboriginal history and the interest is only increasing as time goes on and experiences are provided in these areas, which deliver a high economic turnover for Council.

“Council’s ESCAPE Visitor Guide, our tourism magazine, is located all over Australia and features traditional language and an Acknowledgement to Country, however, when they visit the Warrumbungle region, not having adequate inclusion of Aboriginal wording on the town signs would provide no connection to the traditional lands which people are visiting.”

While it has been suggested that community groups might repurpose the old town signage for Acknowledgement of Countr y, funding for this initiative remains a concern.

In spite of this, Cr Brady remains hopeful and urges the community to formally submit their views to the Council.

“Just remember to have your say. Not just on Facebook – write a submission to Council.”

Submissions close Friday, 7 June.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Thank you Coonabarabran Having lived in Coonabarabran for the past 40 years the time has come for us to move on. Lorraine and I are

moving to Orange and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Coonabarabran and district community for the help and support I have received over the

past four decades.

I was born and bred at Baradine, finished education at Coonabarabran High School, went on to the join the NSW Police

Force for several years.

Returning to Coonabarabran in the early 1980s to purchase Miniland with my former wife. As the owner operators we ran the business for several years before purchasing the funeral business, Castlereagh Funerals.

I sold my share of the funeral business and went on to work for the Coonabarabran Shire as the impounding officer and the storeman.

Leaving the Council employment I again purchased Castlereagh Funerals, which I ran as a successful business for many years.

Because of my many forms of employment over the years I have been fortunate enough to meet many, many people from all walks to life. I have made many hundreds of friends.

The support the camaraderie from the community I will take to the grave. It is unforgettable. This was truly bought home to me with the devastating tragic loss of my son, Kevin, five years ago.

The help and support from the community for

Kev’s family and myself had to be experienced to be believed.

The past 40 years have passed like the click of the fingers. It has been a great journey and as Lorraine and I move on to the next chapter of our lives we say, “thank you” – and if you’re passing through Orange, please look us up.

Yours etc., Steve Hadfield and Lorraine Estens Coonabarabran 2357 (13.05.2024) Salvo’s Red Shield Appeal With The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal around the corner, I wanted to share a bit about why I’m so passionate in my work for the Salvos, and why I also put my money where my mouth is as a regular donor.

I see first-hand the people whose lives are transformed by the work of the Salvos - these people are given a new beginning in life.

I know a man who sleeps rough with his cat.

He’s kind and stoic, and only asks for help when he’s “in a bind.” He was

thrilled when we sourced a swag for him.

In my work I’ve come to know multiple women who have been subject to horrific physical, verbal, and emotional abuse.

Women who have felt trapped by their partner, with absolutely no control over any aspect of their lives. These women I know have survived, and are now on the road to thriving.

I know a single mum who works very hard to provide for her kids.

She earns just too much that she doesn’t qualify for public housing, yet she is priced out of the private rental market.

Her tenacity and ability to pick herself up from setback after setback continuously inspires me.

I know a teen who lived in the disabled toilet of a train station when he was kicked out of home. He tried for as long as he could to keep going to school, but without any money, food, or amenities, he found himself at one of our crisis accommodation services. He’s now in his 30s, and passionate about using music to help

other teens who are at risk or are experiencing homelessness.

There’s a beautiful woman who often catches up on sleep at our centre. We love to have a chat and share a meal together. The Salvos are her safe space.

These are just some of the people I know.

And just some of the reasons that I give to our Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal every year.

The money raised allows us to support people to make safe, healthy, new beginnings in life. New beginnings that not only change the course of their lives, but positively change the lives of their children, and their children’s children. How do I know? Because I’ve seen it.

Fresh digs for furry friends in need Coonabarabran Veterinary Clinic has relocated to a new, spacious building in Cassilis Street, to better serve their furry patients.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The move was d r iven by a need fo r mo re patient rooms and equipment space, meaning an upgraded building was necessary to fulf i l the desi re fo r change.

Although the upgrade required full -scale ren ovat i o n s, m u lt i p l e days of packing, and a team of staff to assist in the move, the services provided by the clinic will remain the same.

Over the past 15 years, the cl inic has moved mu lti pl e ti mes as the business expanded, most recently located in Dalgarno Street, next to the Coonabarabran Times office.

T h e C a s s i l i s St r e e t clinic, the site of a former dental p ractice, now has more space for both the staff and the furry animals.

Veterinary nurse, Tracy Rutter has been apart of the clinic for six years and welcomed the new upgrades.

“We were in the other building for a long time.

Change is as good as a holiday,” Mrs Rutter said.

“The move went

smoothly. The renovations mean we have a more modern area, a bigger waiting room and more individualised spaces to work in. It has been great.”

Mrs Rutter said wo r k i ng at the cl i n ic felt rewarding and she

enjoyed working with animals and the team within the clinic.

Cu r re nt l y, t h e vete r i na r y p ractice caters to mixed animals in Coonabarabran and surrounding areas.

The clinic can provide anything from grooming

and dental services, to desexing, stitch ups and vaccinations.

M r s Rut te r sa id the only service they do not provide is boarding, as the new building does not cater for long stays.

R e g u l a r v e t appointments can

ensure pets and other animals live a long and healthy life.

Staff within the Coonabarabran Veterinary Clinic provide an essential service and the fresh facelift caters to all who use the service.

Coonabarabran Veterinary Surgery staff, Tracy Rutter and Sarah Evans, are thrilled with the new clinic premises in Cassilis Street.

Shearer’s Ride wheels in Rolling into Baradine, a keen group of vintage bike riders have retraced the tracks taken by the cycling shearers of the early 1900s.

by LIZ CUTTS For a few days each year the Shearer’s Ride invokes a bygone era, when collectors of old bicycles gather to recapture the golden age of Australia’s bike riding shearers as they pedalled from shed to shed across some harsh and unforgiving terrain.

Twenty-six heroic, modern-day riders riding their trusty old machines pushed off from Baradine on Monday, 8 April, for a five-day return challenge to Coonamble, Gulargambone, Armatree, Tooraweenah and back to Baradine.

Organiser and vintage bike collector, Lyle Paul said the ride started 10 years ago.

“I started collecting old bikes around 2012 and then I thought I would do a ride similar to one the shearers used do 100 odd years ago,” Mr Paul said.

“We are just reenacting what they did then, going through these rural towns to the stations.

“We often go across country on our rides.

I am pretty good with geography and maps so try to pick flat, level stretches between 60 and 70 kilometres between towns – otherwise it is too far.

“The ride has become very popular, with participants coming from as far away as Tasmania, Victoria and Rockhampton in Queensland. It is not a competition, just an opportunity to get out in the sticks and enjoy the countryside. We are not riding for any cause; we see it as a way to inject some money into local economies.

“We are also keeping a bit of history alive of how the shearers used to travel between sheds in the old days. In those days their bikes would have been loaded up with all their possessions, even with a rifle tied on to the fork in the bike, and all on unsealed roads. The only good thing about it then was that there

would not have been any corrugations – that is a modern phenomenon!

“I would just like to thank Baradine for their hospitality; everyone has been pretty good to us.”

Former Australian Olympic cyclist, Kenrick Tucker travelled from Rockhampton to join the Shearer’s Ride.

“I competed at the Commonwealth Games in 1978, the 1980 Summer Olympics, the Commonwealth Games in 1982 and the 1984 Summer Olympics,” Mr Tucker said.

“When I was training for the Olympics, it was a full day every day; sleep, eat, train, that is all you did. I started doing competitive bike riding from 12 years old until I was 26. It was very challenging, but I think I was lucky enough to be able to do it.

Camaraderie “This ride is for people who love bikes and the camaraderie of getting together and having a bit of fun. This is my fourth ride; it makes me ride my bike at home to get ready for the Shearers Ride, so it’s a bit of a goal to aim for.

“It can be a hard ride.

Thes e old b ikes are definitely not built for comfort and you get tired pedalling them after a long time on the road!

The aim is to ride bikes that are pre-1960, but sometimes you have to add modern replacement parts simply because you cannot buy the original parts anymore.

“However, the ride is pretty casual. We stop and have a cup of tea and lunch along the way – it is all very social and fun.”

Hard, narrow leather seats, no gears, no springs and sometimes completely lacking brakes does not stop these passionate bike collectors from getting out and enjoying their old-style, pedal-powered transport.

Newcastle collector, Roger Duffy said he finds the old bikes easier to work on.

“I cannot work on

modern bikes, the old bikes are pretty straight forward,” he said.

“I repaint and repair old bikes and network with other collectors to find parts. That is particularly good when you are looking for a certain size rim, axle or bearing.

“I own about 15 bikes.

The bike I am riding today is from the 1930s.

Some of the old bikes have a ‘Kelly bar’, a very unusual, adjustable

handlebar with a pivot in the middle. You loosen the nut so you can change the angle of the bars – these are quite collectible. Most of the old bikes have a coaster brake, so you push backwards to stop and you don’t have any handgrips.

“I enjoy the Shearers Ride because it is all about travelling at an easier pace...we are not trying to set any records.”

IN FOCUS: NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK

Volunteer Week: where heart meets action National Volunteer Week, running from 20-26 May, invites communities to embrace the theme of ‘Something for Everyone’ and celebrates the diversity of opportunities available through volunteering.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Au s t ra l i a’s l a rg e s t a n n u a l ce l e b ra t i o n o f volunteering highlights the important roles volunteers play in community.

There is a place for everyone in the world of volunteering, it is a matter of finding the courage to try something new and a willingness to help others.

The latest report from Volunteering Australia outlines the evolving world of volunteering, including the challenges faced by communities.

Across Australia, the demand for volunteers grows, however, a quarter of young people do not volunteer due to financial reasons and over half of current volunteers incur costs while volunteering.

In a struggling economic climate, volunteers are less likely to provide their time and wealth resources.

Despite the challenges, the report identifies new areas of opportunity.

Volunteer roles have become more flexible and the report outlines the wellbeing benefits of volunteering, such as a heightened sense of purpose and a broader connection to others.

VRA One association flexible in training and resources is the Volunteer Rescue Association NSW (VRA).

The VRA is focused on community safety and support and is recognised as a crucial service in emergency response throughout the state.

Regional operations manager, Tony Cole joined the VRA 36 years ago and now manages 12 squads within the western region.

He said while the VRA primarily handles motorvehicle accidents, members also receive specialised training for cave rescues and communications.

VRA volunteers can also specialise in search and rescues, Alpine patrols, drone piloting and can train

to work with canines.

Volunteering for an emergency service is not for the faint of heart, however, Mr Cole said the motivation to continue comes with the reward associated with saving someone’s life.

“Some of the things we do can be traumatic, but a lot of the times we are quite successful,” Mr Cole said.

“The feeling you get from training and the experience you gain, is the payment. When you save someone’s life and you help them see their family again…it’s priceless!

“I joined when I was 18 years old. The training on offer interested me. You also make good friends and meet some amazing people. The times we have succeeded in rescue is the best feeling.”

These days, the VRA is funded by the NSW Government due to the advancement of its skills and accreditation as an emergency service.

Volunteers have their equipment and fuel paid for, however, Mr Cole said the community had always been there and continues to support the VRA through fund-raising.

Currently, the Coonabarabran squad has nine accredited rescue operators and five auxiliar y members who support the squad behind the scenes.

The local squad has room for four new members and Mr Cole encouraged anyone interested to contact 1300 872 777.

VRA members trained to respond at any moment, whether it be an emergency on a highway, or through the rugged terrain of NSW forests and cliffs.

N a t i o n a l Vo l u nte e r We e k r e co g n i s e s t h e gap between current volunteers and the wider community.

They week aims to encourage those who have thought about volunteering to take the leap and discover a new side to themselves.

YOUR SAY: What impact have volunteers and volunteering had on your life?

Glenda Hipwell: I volunteer for the Bigger Heart Dementia Alliance in Ballarat. We do a number of things to bring dementia-friendly activites to the community and follow people through their journey.

Garry and Judy Clancy: We used to volunteer at sport clubs, but we don’t do too mcuh lately. It is great to help out and give back to communties.

Suellyn Tighe: I volunteer at Vinnies. It gets me out of the house and I get to interact with different people and give back. I also volunteer my time to protect the Pilliga from coal seam gas. That is a part of my conscious and culutral responsbility.

Anne-Marie and Barry Johnson: We volunteer for Meals on Wheels and at a golf club in Queensland. It makes you more aware – you may need the service one day.

Vicki Poyser: I have spent 17 years at ADRA Cooanbarabran. I enjoy the company and sorting through people’s ex-treasures. I don’t know where the town would be without op-shops and volunteers. We help in a number of ways.

Greg Aylett: I try to volunteer sometimes. I have a hearing problem, which can make it hard. I reckon volunteers benefit the community in lots of ways.

Sorry Day sparks reflections of reconciliation 2024 marks the 10th year the Coonabarabran community has been able to march across the Mary Jane Cain Bridge in honour of National Sorry Day.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Sorr y Day will be commemorated across the Australia this Sunday, 26 May, and is a day to remember and acknowledge the past m i st reatment of Indigenous people who endured the fo rce d re m ova l f ro m their families and communities.

Each year, on 26 May, the nation pays respect to the resilience of the Stolen Generation a n d ref l e ct s o n h ow communities can take re s p o n s i b i l i t y fo r t h e healing process.

The first National Sorry Day was held on 26 May 1998, one year after the B r i n g i n g T h em H o m e report was established in Parliament.

The repor t was a government inquiry into past policies that led to the removal of children from their homes, cultures, and traditions.

For the past 10 years, the communit y has walked across the Mary J a n e Ca i n B r i d g e to honour the day.

This year, the march will take them over the bridge – and under it, as those in attendance

will walk past the newlyp a i nte d G a m i l a ra a y mural and up through to the Yarning Circle in Neilson Park.

Speeches will be made by school students in attendance and Gamilaraay man, Jarvis Watton.

Each year, a candle ce remony is held i n solidarity, to recognise those who suffered from the consequences of the Stolen Generations.

Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Lands Council chief executive officer, Brandon Nixon sa id he i s g rateful to Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i r e Council for keeping with t radition and closi ng the road each year.

“Abo r iginal people have so much trauma and this day is significant because it re co g n i s e s t h a t. I t i s the only Indigenous celebration that closes

down the main street,” Mr Nixon said. “ D a y s l i ke t h i s a re special because we are still recognising what happened in the past and it brings us together, to build a stronger sense of b e l o n g i n g fo r t h e future.

“Huge progress has been made in the past few years in closing the g a p. T h e co m m u n it y just gets together now and suppor ts each other, however, there is definitely a lot of work that sti l l needs to be done.”

This year, the Elders extended an invitation to Pete r Sh i nton i n recognition of his effor ts in keeping Sor r y Day al ive in Coonabarabran, during his tenure as mayor of Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i r e Council.

All local schools, including Baradine Public School, are warmly welcomed to pa r t i ci pate i n th e March, aiming to continue the tradition initiated last year when all schools united in the procession for the first time. As this year’s Sorry Day falls on a Sunday, Mr Nixon said the

turnout from the schools may not be as large, h oweve r, s u b s ta nt i a l participation is anticipated.

Au s t ra l i a’s l e a d i n g Indigenous and intercultural dance t h e a t r e c o m p a n y, Marrugeku will

also present their performance ‘Nyuju’ at Coonabarabran High School on the same evening.

Nyuju showcases the impor tance of Indigenous culture and storytelling, through the embodiment of dance

and connection to Countr y. A barbecue will be held following the performance.

So r r y D a y i s a d a y of remembrance and reflection. The day aims to foste r a st ronge r relationship built on trust and respect between

t h e w i d e r Au s t ra l i a n communit y and the Indigenous Australian community.

The National Sor r y Day traditions held in Coonabarabran have been long standing and will continue for years to come.

The federal farmer

A legacy of service and community engagement After Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton announced his retirement, the Coonabarabran Times caught up with the long-serving MP to reflect on the highlights and challenges he has faced during his political career.

by GEORGIA SPENCE After 17 years of being a voice for the Parkes electorate, Mr Coulton’s retirement is now a year away.

He hopes his retirement will bring more time with his six grandchildren, more time to work on his farm and time to travel overseas with his wife, Robyn.

Throughout the years, Mr Coulton has dedicated his full attention to his role as a politician, although he hopes his retirement will allow him to become more engaged in his local community.

As he remains in office for another year, until the next federal election, Mr Coulton will continue to connect with communities in the Parkes electorate and represent their concerns in parliament.

“I have really enjoyed the job. It is a privilege and has been a rewarding position. Seventeen years has gone in a blink of an eye and I think it is time to let someone else step up,” Mr Coulton said.

“I think the secret to it all, is to understand and know the people you are representing. What are their aspirations, what do they want to achieve?

“I tell staff – you are working for people who aren’t on social media, or ringing up the radio. The people we represent get on with their lives, educate their kids, and do what they need to do. “ It is impor ta nt t o suppor t the people on the ground. Working with councillors in the Wa r r umbu ngle Sh i re has been enjoyable. I appreciate every effort to make this electorate grow.”

The journey into politics was not a life-long ambition for Mr Coulton, but a shift that happened later in his life, during 2004.

He was first elected mayor of the Gwydir Shire and enjoyed his role in local government, until he was elected to the House of Representatives, for the 6 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 23 May 2024

seat of Parkes, in 2007.

Initially, Mr Coulton’s career aspirations leaned towards farming, as he owned and operated a mixed-farming system, cultivating cereal crops and running beef cattle.

He said he was grateful to be able to contribute to his electorate, however, it has not been without its challenges, one of which was navigating the ongoing challenge of employment that has proven difficult over the years. “ There are far more job opportunities in the electorate than there are people to fill them,” Mr Coulton said.

Gaps emerged in every sector of the electorate and he endeavoured to support those working, or seeking employment, to reach their full potential.

He emphasised the rewards of living in the bush, despite its hardships, to attract more people to the area.

Throughout his tenure, Mr Coulton has aided communities through bushfires and floods and said “the most difficult times brought the most positive outcomes.”

Highlights over the years included the opportunity to help individuals with issues of concerns, whether it be through Centrelink, NDIS or immigration.

He also expressed pride in his involvement with the Western Cancer Centre, highlighting its role in saving lives across the western region.

Add itiona l ly, he expressed satisfaction in witnessing the construction of the revamped School of Rural Health in Dubbo, where medical programs are conducted by the University of Sydney, as well as the development of the Inland Rail.

Mr Coulton has seen the communities in his electorate rise and fall, but through it all he has kept his positive attitude and remained steady in his position as the voice for Parkes.

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, will retire from pollitics next year.

This scholarship means that I will reach my potential,” Monique said. “ My current career goals include textiles and designing, which I am very passionate about.

I see myself pursuing sewing and designing in my future endeavours.

“I love to create and sew, which I will later pursue at university.

“I love designing and sewing tote bags to later offer them to my peers, mentors, and teachers.

I h ave sig n i f ic a nt ly improved my sewing skills and continue to improve and attempt new tasks.

“This scholarship fuels my hopes, dreams, and aspirations to make it possible to achieve my goals.”

Harding Miller scholarships are provided to female students who show h igh ac adem ic potential and who are currently experiencing low socio -economic circumstances.

Each schola rsh ip r e c ipient r e c eive s a new laptop, high-speed internet, face-to-face and online tutoring, online homework assistance, prepaid expense cards to cover school essentials such as textbooks and excursions, as well as study skills resources and a personal coach to guide them over the four years of the scholarship.

Harding Miller Education Foundation Chief Operations Officer Caroline Hill said the Foundation is proud to be providing vital support to help promising young girls reach their full potential. “ Ou r schola rship recipients are bright, talented, and engaged, but don’t currently have the resources they need to make the most of their educational opportunities, Ms Hill said. “ T he schola rship pr o v ide s t hem w it h t a ng ible it ems a nd practical things that give these young women a hand to complete their high-school education and take advantage of tertiary

opportunities. “ O u r s c hol a r sh ip s offer more than just a f i nancia l boost. Ou r scholars are also paired with a volunteer coach who provides them with mentorship throughout

the year.

“We encourage any other local young girls who may need support to consider applying for a Harding Miller Education Foundation scholarship this year.”

Gunnedah Family Day Care exceeds national standards Gunnedah Family Day Care educators and staff have reason to celebrate after attaining the level of ‘Exceeding National Standards’ at the completion of its National Quality Standards Assessment, undertaken earlier this year.

G u n n e d a h Fa m i ly Day Ca re scheme manager, Kerry Patterson has attributed this outstanding and rare accolade to its valued team of educators and administrative support personnel.

Mrs Patterson said the team has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence in the prov ision of early c h i l d c a r e e d u c at i o n to Coonabarabran, Gunnedah, Boggabri, Narrabri, Wee Waa, Q u i r i nd i, Moree, Gilgandra, Mu r r u r und i, Wa r ren and surrounding districts for the past 34 years. “ I am extremely pr oud a nd honou r e d t o be a pa r t of such an exceptional service a nd it is hea r t en i ng to see that our efforts to achieve service excellence have once again been acknowledged w ithin a National Framework and we have come up trumps,” Mrs Patterson said.

“ Gun neda h Fami ly Day Ca r e f i r st went through accreditation under the Family Day Care National Childcare Accreditation Council (NCAC) in 1993, where it was assessed at ‘High Quality’ consistently.

“In 2012, the Education Department introduced the National Quality Standards rating system across a l l ea rly ch i ld ho od education a nd ca re services. Once again, Gunnedah Family Day Care excelled in this process receiving ‘ E x c e e d i n g R at i n g s ’ consistently up to and i nc lud i n g ou r l at e s t results.

“This is a testament to the consistent quality of the education and ca re prov ided across our service.

“Our educators are a group of passionate, nurturing professionals who, t ogether w ith the suppor t of ou r coordinators, are committed to the provision of quality care and molding a love of learning for our little people moving forward.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Cross country

C ong ratu lat ions to each and everyone who competed in cross country last Friday.

With an impressive number of spectators to cheer them on, including parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and community members, our students showed grit and determination to run their best race.

The following students came first in their categories and will receive their trophy at Presentation Night: Juvenile Champion 1000m: Billy Larkin and Eliana Smith.

Junior Champion 2000m: Hamish Jenkin and Eloise Jenkin.

11 years Champion 3000m: Sam Trickey.

Congratulations to Hamish Jenkin who has qualified to compete in the District Cross Country!

Gilgandra IGA has generously donated $1000 to the school from their IGA Community Chest. We were thrilled to receive the funds, wh ic h w i l l b e put towards technolog y subscr iptions for students that contribute towards individualised learning in maths and English.

Earlier this year, the school applied for a Dymocks Library Rejuvenation Grant and we recently received the great news that we were successful!

We h av e c h o s e n $2500 worth of new books for our school library, and keenly await their delivery later this term. This amount of funding will make a significantly positive impact to our library and in turn, our student’s enjoyment of reading.

Coonabarabran Public Danny R ogers and Steven Watton accompanied students W i l l B i r t le s , T r ae Towney, Lucy Hayman and Keanu Rogers to Harbourside Land’s Edge Foundation at Mosman, in Sydney, for the three-day Sky Story program.

It has been a busy week across Children’s Services with school photos taken of children a nd s t a f f at b o t h campuses.

With the warm, fine weather the children have enjoyed lots of out do or pl ay, w ith the 2-3 years room developing their gross motor skills on the obstacle course.

The obstacle course o f fer s le a r n i n g i n climbing, balancing, coordination, assessing risk and increasing trust in the children’s own abilities.

Following on from the recent imaginary play around fishing the children have also been pretending to be sharks

in the water by utilising the blue safety mats around the obstacle course.

Kookas tame the Tigers The Coonabarabran Kookas rugby team dominated the Trangie Tigers in an away game last Saturday,

RUGBY UNION While the final tally of 56 to 17 looks impressive on paper, the Trangie Tigers were fired up too pluck a few feathers off the Kookas and bring them dow n t o e a r th and the execution of the game’s result was ferocious.

For 80 minutes, both teams were hit with a wind that blew a gale across the paddock and it never wavered.

The first 15 minutes had both teams spreading the ball wide – and it did not work, the wind was moving the ball around like a balloon and the runners were flat footed.

Sam Cleary changed the mood and took a pass on the run and went everso close to putting Blake Kuras over.

Sam’s big burst was contagious and within minutes Darcy Clifton hit the pass on the ‘burst’ and added his trick(s) – a series of old-fashion side steps that never saw a Tiger’s paw laid on him. However, with 10 metres to go he met a wall of Tigers and they were closing in. Luckily, he had a solution – Nick Tabuya lewa at f u l l throttle; the defence was decimated and he put down a classic try.

T he T igers were causing trouble with our scrums and that was an

area where we were not getting clean ball, yet our loose forwards (Lonnie S t o n e , A l e x K n i g ht and Tom Cleary) soon clipped their momentum.

A pattern set in and it was obvious; each time a Kooka hit the ball on the run we moved forward and we got results. Long passes and attempts to spread the ball wide led to break downs.

The Kookas’ backline has some potent weapons.

Tyler Frazer, at half, has a pass that is accurate, fast and its delivery is full of confidence. It was an absolute gem to see Darcy Clifton and Sam Wilson bring that longlost art of side stepping back into the attacking portfolio. Out wide we had Blake Kuras, Karl Calleija and Jack Rutland Davey, and they know where to go pluck off a five pointer. At fullback we had the cool hands o f B r ent M or r i s s ey, forever available to lay his vintage rugby skills on the deck.

Ha l f ti me had the Kookas cruising with a 27 to 0 lead. Five tries and a conversion, and the wind kept howling.

The Kookas backs scored four of the five first-half tries and it is great see a hard-working forward pack getting the rewards for their labour.

As the Kookas ran on for the final 40 minutes it was obvious a victory

was approaching – they had a safe margin, yet the T igers were still prowling. Two quick tries had the Kookas sitting pretty. Trangie then hit back with the tricks the Kookas had instigated in the first half – hit the line hard and fast and add a few fancy steps.

They scored three tries in 10 minutes! The score was sitting on 46 to 17.

The Kookas then ran in two tries that bookended this game and once again it was the Kookas’ t i g ht f ive (O a ke s , T h i rke l l , C h apm a n , N i x o n , Wo r r e l l a nd Knight) who led the final charge up field.

Tyler Frazer scooted over for the first try, 10-metres out, and he slipped in a side step for good measure.

With the final whistle about to blow, a bit of magic from the Kookas’ forwards had an urgent ball spinning to Sam Wilson and Darcy Clifton. Darcy had to go wide, there were no gaps in the Tigers’ defence and they had his steps covered. Blake Kuras moved in and took the pass, st epped t o the sideline with an inch to spare, drew the defence and scooted infield to score.

The Kookas are now sitting on equal third on the table with Geurie, which is a good position to be at. As the season

has unfolded it has been great to see the coaches groom the Kookas into a team with a lot of spirit and grit. Of course one could be critical, we did loose a few scrum feeds, yet the Kookas quickly demolished T rang ie’s spoils. A bit of extra fitness may have pumped up a higher score, but that could be a judgement way off the mark as it was a very, very fast game.

The Kookas are about to jump into the second round of the competition and it’s developing into a classic tight race for the finals. They have cultivated a style of rugby that is entertaining to watch and the ‘style’ improves each week.

Scores Coonabarabran Kookas 56 (Tries: Nick Tabuyalewa (3), Darcy Cli fton, Sam Clear y, Jack Rutland Davey, Sam Wi lson, T yler Frazer, Blake Kuras, 1 each. Conversions: Brent Morrissey 3) d Trangie Tigers 17.

WORD

for WORD

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quickfire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?”

And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? Cat – my full name is Catherine.

H o w d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? January 2010 is when I arrived in Coona because I was WOOFing at Pilliga Pottery. It was supposed to be two weeks and then I stayed one year and fell in love with the bush. I left and went back to France where I had a perfect life and I came back to visit in Feb 2015.

I was meant to stay for three months, but I came back over and never left.

I followed my heart, I followed love.

Where would people recognise your face? From the Pottery. I did pottery classes and I would also sell gelato at events like the Coona Show.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a social worker.

Wor k ing in jail or with troubled teenagers.

What ’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Stage hand for music gigs.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Music and the bush.

How would your friends and family descr i be you i n t h ree wo rds? I am generous, benevolent and an integrist/honest.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? Little country towns. Anywhere where there is no one on the road.

I f you h a d a n a n i m a l o r p l a n t renamed in your honour, what would you want to carr y your name? I wouldn’t want anything alive that exists already, but I would like a place renamed after me that has live music.

What’s one totally irrational fear that you have? Needing a cannula at a hospital.

Do you have a favourite community event or group? Days For Girls. They use their skills for others and I enjoy being around the older women

The Kookas win a line-out in Saturday’s match against Trangie, with Brad Chapman leaping high.

because they give me the desire to grow old like them. I am also involved with, and love, many other groups.

Best thing about living in Coonabarabran? It’s Coona! The community is beautiful and the quietness of the bush. The Milky Way is wonderful too.

If you could have any superpower what would it be? Since I was a kid, I have wanted to live a day in the life of a someone else.

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

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I picked it up randomly in France. I like the story and the way it is written and I think it shows nice human values. If people acted like Atticus the world would be a better place.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? If I had millions of dollars I would open a club. I have it all planned in my head. I would have a big guest house and I would pay for my friends’ flights to come and visit me.

Do you have a hidden talent? I am very good at reorganising and manifesting things. When I hang out my washing, I can grab the exact, right amount of pegs. I am also a great op shopper.

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be? When I studied as a social worker, I studied Anthropology and Ethnology, which covers the study of civilisations and Indigenous rites of passage around the world. I would like to go back and live a traditional, tribal life, on any continent.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I had a laugh this morning with my partner about lava dance.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Life taught me that one day it will be too late, so enjoy it while you can.

Magpies claim Campbell-Noonan Cup after 14-year drought The Boronia Cup and the Campbell-Noonan Cup were played for in the Castlereagh League round four match games contested last Saturday, 18 May.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE At Baradine, an energetic Baradine Magpies outfit proved too strong for the visiting Gilgandra Panthers, running out comfortable 34 to 14 winners after what was a physical game between the two sides.

For the Magpies, this was their first win for the season, and it not only delivered them the much needed competition points, but also the CampbellNoonan Cup, which is contested between the two clubs. The day featured a

commemoration of the life of Baradine legend, Ken Campbell.

Meanwhile, the Coolah ‘Roos have stamped themselves as a genuine premiership threat in the 2024 Castlereagh League competition when they tipped the Cobar Roosters off their perch at the top of the ladder with a hardfought, 22 to 16 win at Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval.

In doing so the ‘Roos claimed the Boronia Cup and remain the only unbeaten first-grade side thus far this season.

Their first defence of the Cup will be this Saturday, 25 May, when they host the Gulgong Terriers.

The Terriers will be enthused by their 32 to 28 victory over the Narromine Jets and would like nothing better than to get their hands back on the Boronia Cup, after having lost it to Cobar in round one.

In the remaining game, the Coonabarabran Unicorns bounced back from a heavy defeat at the hands of the Coolah ‘Roos the previous week to register a narrow 30 to 26 win over the Coonamble Bears at Coonamble.

While the Coolah district is humming with excitement over the success of their first-grade side this year, their league-tag team, the Coolah Flyers, is also enjoying s great start to the league tag season and remain undefeated following their 32 to 22 win

over Cobar last Saturday.

The other two undefeated leaguetag sides, Dunedoo and Narromine, both registered big wins over Coonabarabran and Gulgong respectively to set up a massive Jessica Skinner Cup challenge game this Saturday at Dunedoo.

Dunedoo and Narromine have had some mighty battles in recent times including last year’s grand final, which saw the Jets take the spoils.

The Swannettes are the only side to have held the Jess Skinner Cup since its inception last year and Saturday’s game looms as possibly one of their most difficult defences.

A great game will be eagerly anticipated by supporters of both clubs.

The first-grade match of the round will be the Boronia Cup challenge game between the ‘Roos and the Terriers at Coolah’s Bowen Oval, which should be chock-ablock with supporters from both camps to observe the action.

The home side, Coolah, could not have delivered a better start to the season for the red-andwhite faithful than what they have achieved so far this year, winning the Castlereagh League Knockout in the lead up to the competition proper, where they are now sit on top of the ladder as the only undefeated side after

four rounds.

Following their stellar year in 2023 the Gulgong Terriers have lost a number o f the ir p re m iership winning team, yet are still winning games and are coming off a good win over the Narromine Jets last Saturday, which will give them the belief that they can roll the ‘Roos.

Another great battle should take place at Coonabarabran, when the Unicorns host the Cobar Roosters. Both teams sit in equal second place on 10 competition points.

No doubt the Roosters will be smarting from their loss to Coolah at home last Saturday, but the Unicorns at home should provide them with a tough contest.

Track and field triumph The 2024 National Athletic Championships presented an opportunity for two Coonabarabran athletes to compete with Australia’s best.

by GEORGIA SPENCE

Kurt Rutter jumped his personal best high jump record at the National Championships.

16 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 23 May 2024

H e l d i n Ad e l a i d e l a s t m o nt h , t h e championships saw two 17-year-olds – Siarne Davis and Kurt Rutter – compete in their chosen disciplines.

Both athletes were up against tough competition including Olympic athletes, nevertheless, they remained strong in their performance and placed respectably.

Siarne dedicated weeks to training, both independently and with her coaches, to prepare for Under 20’s Woman’s Discus event.

She competed against 19 young women and placed 15th overall, however, within her age group she placed sixth.

2024 marked Siarne’s third consecutive year qualifying for nationals, however, this year held significance as it was her first year competing in the senior league.

Although Siarne felt the pressure throughout the competition, her mother, Karyn Sulter, said she was proud of her daughter and her accomplishments.

“Discus is her calm place. She used to tell me that when she stepped into that circle she felt like she could do anything,” Ms Sulter said.

“She has been throwing since she was seven, but during the last three years she has grown more in confidence.

“We never dreamed she would go as far as she has and she is keen to take this as far as she possibly can.”

Siarne benefits from a strong support system and trains in Dubbo with David

Low, from Harradine Performance Western Division, founded by Ken and Ben Harradine.

Ben is a former Olympic-level discus competitor and Ken is an Olympic level throws coach.

Ms Sulter said Siarne’s coach possesses the expertise to maximise her potential, to enable her growth in both skills and confidence.

Decathlon As a young man with a lot of athletic stamina, Kurt Rutter competed in the Under 20’s and Open Decathlon, securing seventh place overall.

He achieved a personal best by clearing 1.9 metres in the high jump, a goal he has pursued for some time, and was 30 points off an overall personal best.

Another highlight was the opportunity to compete against Olympic-level athletes, however, Kurt said he felt challenged by the wait times for his events.

“This year I will build on ways of preparing my energy and food intake, to keep consistent levels of energy throughout the comp,” Kurt said.

“To prepare for nationals I had quality sessions, over massive sessions, to finesse and add the final touches to my technique.

“I am feeling good, my body is feeling good and I am keen to keep moving forward.”

Nationals was a learning curve for both Siarne and Kurt. The athletes will now prepare for school athletic carnivals with the aim to progress from Zone to State level.

Federal cash splash for Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre upgrade Moree Plains Shire Council will receive more than $9 million from the federal government towards the redevelopment of the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre.

The funding will come from

round one of the Growing Regions Program.

Council’s grant success now ensures works on the multimillion-dollar project can continue with a limited burden to rate-

payers in delivering the capital works, consisting of a new 50-metre pool, children’s play area, grandstand and clubhouse.

Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson expressed his

gratitude to the federal government and in particular Minister of Infrastructure Catherine King stating.

“This announcement is a game changer, we have been working

hard to deliver this project and to receive this significant amount of funding, we can confidently work on the continuation of the project,” Cr Johnson said.

Capacity crowds at Pulse Alive The Arts Unit’s 40-strong Pulse Alive team arrived earlier this month to deliver workshops and performances at Moree Secondary College, with more than 400 students from across the district involved.

Moree Secondary College arts co-ordination officer, Leigh Carroll, said Pulse Moree was a Department Of Education initiative.

“It is run by the Arts Unit, which is open to students from Kinder to Year 12 across all public schools in our region,” Mr Carroll said.

$9 million for aquatic centre upgrade Continued from front page

In an update on the project, council said earthworks were expected to start on the decommissioned location of the previous 50-metre pool this week.

Other projects to receive support from the federal program include Brewarrina PCYC Youth Hub and Indoor Sports Centre ($10 million), Narrabri Shire tourism and cultural precinct stages two and three ($1.4 million) and Gunnedah community cultural hub project ($2.1 million).

Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King said the federal government is committed to investing in regional Australia to create jobs, build opportunity and unlock economic growth and

productivity – making sure the regions remain great places to live, work and play.

“Our Growing Regions Program forms a key part of this commitment, by investing in critical community and economic infrastructure across regional and rural areas, in a fair and transparent way,” Ms King said.

“I look forward to seeing the successful projects roll out across the nation, supporting employment, stimulating economies and strengthening communities.”

Deborah O’Neill, Senator for NSW, said infrastructure is essential to growing the economy and creates jobs.

“Each of these projects was assessed through a merits-based process initially involving Senators and Members from across

the parliament, and then was further assessed by the Department which determined the final successful bids,” Senator O’Neill said.

“No NSW representatives were involved in assessing the projects in our own state, because Labor knows that probity standards matter to Australian taxpayers. Each of these projects will bring significant benefits for these communities, making a real difference for people in Moree, Brewarrina, Narrabri, Caroona, Gunnedah, Dubbo and surrounding communities.”

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has welcomed the funding support for the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre’s redevelopment.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to see

that Moree Plains Shire Council has been awarded a total of $9,641,761 for the long-awaited redevelopment of the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre,” Mr Coulton said.

“The Moree community has been without a 50-metre pool for the past few years and this funding will finally allow council to construct a new pool, in addition to a children’s play area, a new grandstand and clubhouse.

“This is the best news for the entire Moree community; it will mean that local children will once again have an operational pool to learn to swim, train and compete in, as well as cool off during Moree’s long, hot summers.

“For the past few years, local swimmers were having to travel

80 kilometres to Warialda to train, while schools have not been able to run swimming carnivals, putting Moree students at a significant disadvantage.

“Moree is known for its beautiful artesian water and thanks to this funding, the MAAC will be able to be returned to its former glory as Moree’s number one tourist attraction and a first-class thermal aquatic and wellness destination.

“This funding has been a long time coming, and although the announcement of successful applicants for the Growing Regions Program was delayed by more than two months, I’m very thankful to Infrastructure Minister Catherine King for recognising the importance of this worthwhile project.”

Spectacular performances at Pulse Moree Continued from front page

Rehearsals were held on May 8, and two live performances the following night drew capacity crowds.

Mr Carroll said the event was amazing.

“There were hundreds of students singing and dancing with a tremendous cast of visiting singers, dancers and musicians – our hall didn't know what hit it,” Mr Carroll laughed.

The Arts Unit communications officer, Kayell Lowe, congratulated students and teachers from Boomi Public School, North Star Public School, Croppa Creek Public School, Moree Secondary College, Mallawa Public School, Mungindi Central School, Warialda High School, Moree Public School, Gravesend Public School, Warialda Public School and Moree East Public School.

“Moree Secondary College was the scene of some magical performances – well done to the team and all the amazing performers from all the schools involved,” Ms Lowe said.

As its annual State Conference comes to a close in Coffs Harbour, members of the Country Women’s Association of NSW have endorsed more than 25 motions across sectors such as health, law and order, education, transport and the environment.

The motions – including a motion of urgency – have been discussed and debated over three days at this year’s CWA of NSW State Conference in Coffs Harbour, with successful motions to inform the association’s advocacy efforts over the next year.

The motion of urgency on the need for more action on rates of domestic and family violence was the first item of business considered by conference delegates and was passed unanimously.

The motion includes a call for an amendment to the NSW Bail Act to change the

presumption of bail provisions to a default against bail for domestic and family violence offences; prioritisation of sustainable funding models for frontline victim support services – and services that target perpetrator risk factors – to ensure stability and continuity in funding for these services; and the expediting of the establishment of a real-time system to record, track, and share information on perpetrators across systems and jurisdictions.

“This was the first issue we dealt with when the business sessions began on Monday, recognising just how important this motion was to members who want to see immediate and meaningful action around current rates of domestic and family violence and we’ll be strongly advocating for the measures we endorsed at the conference,” president Joy Beames said.

A man, a mower and a braveheart

By KYLIE DEVINE

sales@gunnedahtimes.com.au

It’s not everyday you get a gentleman pull up out the front of the Gunnedah Times office with a lawnmower, walk through the front doors and lead with, “Have you done a story about me before?”.

To us, this certainly was intriguing but it didn’t take long to realise that this truly was a man who needed his story told.

Claude Lyle Harvey OAM, affectionately known as ‘The Mowerman’, has spent the past 13 years trekking the highways and byways, footpaths and roads of Australia pushing his trusty mower “Moyra” on a mission to raise awareness of child protection and raising more than $1.8 million dollars for Bravehearts, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse and assisting survivors, along the way.

The 78-year-old was motivated after watching footage on the news of a paedophile being arrested.

“When I saw this I thought we would all like to hurt the perpetrator, but how many of us would like to help the victim”.

Further to this Claude suffered the heartbreak to learn the devastating news that two of his own family members had fallen victim to such heinous crime themselves.

“My granddaughters were only aged three and four years old playing in their backyard when a 16-year-old neighbour jumped the fence and sexually assaulted them.”

Driven by desire, Claude vowed to do everything possible he could to ‘make a difference in the lives of victims’.

Claude set up signs and displays in local shopping centres along Queensland’s Gold Coast to bring awareness to the local community, but Claude dreamt of bigger.

He wanted to make a difference in the lives of all child sexual assault survivors Australia-wide.

Claude needed to get the message to as much of the country as he could, so he set himself a target to raise $1 million for Bravehearts and a challenge to travel as much of the nation as he could taking his lawnmower with him!

Being a retired landscaper, Claude couldn’t think of any better way to carry his signs around.

“The mower might be a bit of a gimmick, but it just made sense to keep on pushing the old girl”.

Claude set off on his first push for charity, a return trip from Tweed Heads to Hope Island for the charity Gold Coast Project For Homeless Youth, and since then estimates he has walked more than 25,000 kilometres even crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2016 accompanied by a helicopter and the Prime Minister awaiting his arrival at Martin Place with the Sunrise crew.

He has pushed his way as far north as Port Douglas and as far south as Tasmania, remarking the locals in Tasmania were some of the nicest he has ever met.

“I turned up there in the middle of summer and it was bloody cold, I never thought to take any winter woollies with me, the next minute the locals turned up with enough clothes that would keep me warm in Antarctica.”

Claude hasn’t always been met with such hospitality though.

“I’ve been punched in the head, I’ve been verbally and physically abused, I’ve even had a gun held to my head. My wife used to make the trips with me but she gave up coming along because she couldn’t handle the abuse I got. It’s all been worth it though, look at the money I have raised so far.”

MOWERMAN ON A MISSION: Claude Lyle Harvey OAM, affectionately known as ‘The Mowerman’, has trekked across Australia on a mission to raise awareness and funds for Bravehearts. Bravehearts is an Australian child protection organisation, solely dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. Clyde is pictured with his trusty mower, ‘Moyra’, on the outskirts of Gunnedah.

Claude’s achievement has been recognised by more than just the charity he is donating to though.

In June 2019 he was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his dedication to the community and in 2023 was named 2023 Queensland Senior Australian of the Year – two awards that others would boast about or possibly even have tattooed on their foreheads for everyone they encounter to see, but this has not raised conceit in Claude.

“Yeah, it’s fantastic, but If I can save just one child from this crime that harms one in five Australian children, I will have achieved what I set out to do.

“The money I have raised and

the awareness I am generating is worth more to me.

“I never ask anyone for a donation, but if you come up and ask me for my details, I’ll explain to you what I do”.

Claude has had to change his method slightly of late, “I have had a hernia operation, so I now drive in between towns and grab my mower out at my destination to walk the streets, it is much better for my health and my shoes”.

In his 25,000kms, Claude has been through 10 sets of mower tyres and 43 pairs of sturdy thongs.

Gunnedah played host to Claude and his sidekick mower at the weekend on his way through to Wentworth. He thanked Gunnedah for their

YOUR PARTNER IN PRECISION

generosity and support.

“I received a lot of donations and even a few shout-outs on Facebook which is always good”.

When Claude was asked why he didn’t park his mower back in the shed after reaching his $1 million goal, he simply looked with a grin and cheekily commented, “I now want to get to the magic $2 million mark. But what a way to do it – I have met some famous people in my travels and made some great mates along the way.

“I don’t know what I would do if I stopped, my dear wife passed away last year so this keeps me busy and after receiving my Senior of the Year award I figure I must be doing the right thing that people nominated me.”

Success served up at milestone Moree on a Plate Moree on a Plate celebrated its 20th anniversary in style, with the lush grounds of the Moree Race Club playing host to the milestone festivities.

The best of the Moree Plains, and the broader North West, was again on show through the produce on offer. Acclaimed Australian chef Matt Golinski was this year’s guestof-honour, adding to the growing list of well-known identities making their mark on Moree on a Plate.

The event was the brainchild of Margi Kirkby and Jenni Birch whilst in the early stages of setting up their olive oil business, Gwydir Grove.

Crowd favourites including The Mixed Grill barbecue cook-off returned. Four teams of two again battled it out on a Weber to see who is Moree’s best barbecuer.

Sandy Bailey and Sandy Cosh were crowned as overall winners while a roaring crowd got Zeb Chapman and Jordy Hunt over the line as the people’s choice.

Jenny Campbell promoted products from the Narrabri Region at Moree on a Plate.

Remain up to date with vaccinations, NSW Health urges

With the winter respiratory virus season rapidly approaching, NSW Health is reminding people aged 65 years and older – to remain up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination, and book in with their GP or pharmacist for their yearly flu vaccination ahead of winter.

ATAGI recommends people aged 65 and over receive their free COVID vaccine every 6 – 12 months.

NSW Health recommends people speak to their doctor or pharmacist to understand what is best for them. Older people should also speak to their doctor now to make a plan about what to do if they start feeling unwell to help them get access to the right tests and treatments quickly.

“The wider community also play an important role in protecting people who are at a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and flu. This includes our family and friends aged over 65. We want to remind the community if they are

experiencing cold or flu symptoms, they should stay at home to protect others. If someone has cold or flu symptoms and they need to go out, they should wear a mask,” said Dr Kerry Chant, NSW Chief Health Officer.

People experiencing cold or flulike symptoms should also avoid visiting high risk settings like hospitals, aged and disability care facilities or people who are at higher risk of severe illness.

Other things people can do to help protect themselves and their loved ones include: • Stay at home if you’re unwell.

If you have symptoms but have to leave home, wear a mask.

• Speak to your doctor now if you are at higher risk of severe illness from respiratory illnesses and make a plan about what to do if you start feeling unwell so you can get access to the right tests and treatments early • Gather outdoors or in well-ven-

tilated indoor spaces.

• Consider taking a rapid antigen test, even if you don’t have symptoms, before visiting vulnerable loved ones when COVID-19 transmission is moderate or high in the community. To see the latest NSW respiratory surveillance summary report, please visit health.nsw.gov. au/respiratoryreports People may be required to wear a mask in NSW when visiting highrisk settings such as aged and disability care. Masks may also be required in hospitals, general practices, medical centres and pharmacies. NSW Health continues to closely monitor and assess the way we respond to acute respiratory infections, including COVID-19, to keep patients, staff and visitors to our health facilities safe.

Scams - you haven’t seen anything yet Scams which were once few and far between, the speciality of pencil-moustached conmen, are now rampant in the internet and mobile phone age.

Scams are becoming more sophisticated, more plausible and more damaging. The word ‘scam’ incidentally is believed to come from ‘scamp’, meaning rascal or swindler.

Online scams cost Australians millions of dollars each year and anyone can be targeted - but we haven’t seen anything yet, authorities warn, with new scams emerging daily and old ‘tried and true’ ones still snaring victims.

Artifical intelligence, AI, is a new tool for the online crooks.

Scammers aim to trick you into giving them money, or financial or personal details email, text messages, phone calls or social media, and often pretend to be a person or organisation you trust which will let them access your money.

The best defense is to be wary of any ‘call to action’ - that is, a request for information or money, an official sounding threat or an urgent message that requires you to get in contact.

Common things scammers do to trick you: In addition to exploiting security weaknesses, scammers prey on our human nature through various techniques, to prompt us to do

certain things.

Authority: Is the message claiming to be from someone official, such as your bank, a government department, a utility company, your doctor or a solicitor?

Criminals pretend to be important people or organisations to trick you into doing what they want.

Urgency: Are you told that you have a limited time to respond, for example, ‘within 24 hours’ or ‘immediately’? Scammers often threaten you with fines or other negative consequences.

Emotion: Does the message make you panic, fearful, hopeful or curious? Scammers use threatening language, make false claims of support, or tease you into wanting to find out more.

Scarcity: Is the message offering something that seems too good to be true, such as money or a ‘good deal’? Fear of missing out on an opportunity can make you respond quickly.

Current events: Are you expecting to see a message like this?

Scammers will exploit current news stories and events to make their claims seem more real (e.g.

COVID-19).

And the perennial favourite of the crooks - a plea from one of the kids or a friend to ‘send money I’ve lost my wallet, handbag, my phone has fallen in the sink’...etc.

RURAL NEWS

NSW Farmers welcomes Livestock sales regional round-up government boost to DUBBO reduce rural barriers NSW Farmers has thanked the state government for providing fresh funding to break down rural barriers as it announced the first $35 million in funding from the Regional Development Trust last week.

Funds to upgrade rural and remote airstrips and improve western NSW childcare services featured among the $35 million package announced by the NSW Government today, as part of its $350 million Regional Development Trust initiative to boost resilience across regional NSW. NSW Farmers Western Division Council chair Gerard Glover said the announcement had come as welcome news to farmers across the state and particularly in western NSW, where upgrades to rural and remote airstrips were much needed.

“In many remote and isolated pockets in western NSW, farmers and families are often hundreds of kilometres from help – and so we need our rural and remote airstrips to be up to scratch to ensure we can access urgent medical care when we need it,” Mr Glover said.

“These airstrip upgrades are a real win for rural and remote NSW, as they will enable services such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service to access these communities safely and quickly – no doubt saving lives and boosting the quality of healthcare our communities receive.”

Mr Glover said funding committed as part of the announcement to establish and upgrade long day care services in Broken Hill,

Accessing critical services such as childcare or healthcare in rural and regional NSW shouldn’t be this hard – so a boost to help overcome these barriers has been warmly welcomed by us all.

Bourke and Cobar would also provide a boost to attract and retain young farming families, where early childhood and education care was often limited.

“Whether you live in Cobar or in Canberra, all families deserve to have access to early childhood and education care when and where they need it,” Mr Glover said. “$10 million in funding to increase access to these services across parts of rural NSW will go a long way to ensuring parents can return to work when they need to, while being confident their children are being cared for safely.

“Accessing critical services such as childcare or healthcare in rural and regional NSW shouldn’t be this hard – so a boost to help overcome these barriers has been warmly welcomed by us all.”

“Our program acts as an insurance population for this critically endangered species,” Hayley said.

Keeper Hayley Brooks said that number is soon set to grow, with females Bakhita and Mesi due to give birth in July and August, respectively.

“This is a really exciting milestone for our Black Rhino program here in Dubbo,” Hayley said.

“Bakhita was the first female calf born here and has been an integral part of our breeding program. She’s a very experienced mother and this will be her fifth calf. Mesi is pregnant with her first calf and when she gives birth, it will make Bakhita a greatgrandmother!

Taronga Conservation Society Australia is a proud founding member of the International Rhino Foundation (IRF).

Taronga actively supports conservation efforts for wild rhinos in Africa, Indonesia and India, providing funds and support with the IRF for anti-poaching and wildlife protection units, habitat protection and restoration, and expertise in veterinary care and reproduction to ensure all rhino species continue to survive in the wild.

“It’s the first time we have had two calves due in such close succession, so we’re really excited and busy making preparations.”

The last time the Zoo welcomed two calves in the same year was in 2017, with female Mesi and male Pampoen arriving in April and October respectively.

Black Rhino gestation usually lasts 14-16 months. Dubbo’s most recent new arrival, one-year-old male calf Matobo, was conceived using world first reproductive technology. He was born to mum Kufara in April last year after a record 490-day gestation period.

For further information phone Dylan Smith on 0434 904 274 or Wanda Dunnet on 0429 922 837.

Once Bakhita and Mesi’s bundles of joy are born, the mums and bubs will spend a few months bonding behind the scenes before they make their public debut.

“In Dubbo, we’re the only place in all of Australasia that is breeding Black Rhinos, so every successful birth is crucial.”

Like all remaining rhinoceros species, Black Rhinos continued to be poached for their keratin horn, used in traditional medicines, even though it is scientifically
