Empowering Youth Program boosts future leaders The ‘Empowering Youth Program’ has completed its first week, and there can be no doubt that it has done exactly that, along with equipping the next generation of leaders with a newfound set of skills.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY When the 2357 Development Group was successful in securing a NSW Government Youth O p p o r t u n i t i e s G ra nt, Vivian Evans saw it as a chance to target a missed g roup in the community – 18 to 24 year olds.

Over nine months, the program aims to connect youth and community through empowement, connecting and creating the skills worthy of the next generation of leaders.

The first week of the program has wrapped and already participants are walking out with qualifications in Youth Mental Health First Aid, and an enthusiastic approach to the journey ahead.

From recent schoolleavers to those seeking a new direction in life, so far the Empowering Youth Program h a s a t t ra c te d 12 participants, with more expressing interest for

future programs.

H e l d at t h e Wa r r u m b u n g l e Mountain Motel function centre last week, the program stood out with it s un iq ue app roach: cameras f illed with garden and mountain photos, guitars plugged into amps, and a r t supplies laid out on a table.

The program ran from 9am to 5pm each day over the five days, with some participants at te n d i n g fo r o n e o r two days, while others joined for a few hours each day.

Balancing work and fa m i l y co m m i t m e nt s, they participated free of charge and without any contractual obligation.

One participant, Lilly Johnsson, said while she hadn’t achieved ‘local’ status yet, after living in the district for just under two years, the program had allowed her to set down roots.

Local youth empowered FROM FRONT When a s ked w hat she’d gained and learnt from the program, she answered, “where do you start?”

Li l ly ex plai ned that the program included some challenging a s p e ct s , p a r t i cu l a r l y concer ning mental health, but emphasised t h at t h e s e we re l i fe changing skills essential for today’s generation.

“It’s why I signed up,” she said.

“I want to help our generation and co m m u n i t y, a n d t h i s p ro g ra m h a s of fe red the tools to do just that.

I think this generation definitely needs a boost after COVID and lockdowns.”

But her favourite part wa s co n n ect i n g w ith new peopl e, w h ich allowed her to gain new perspectives and points of view of various ideas.

Peter Thompson, on t h e ot h e r h a n d , h a s been living locally for longer, and graduated Year 12 last year.

He signed up to the program for “something different to do,” and said it was an added bonus that it provided unique qualifications that wou l d not on l y se r ve h i m i n a p rofes s i o na l setting, but a personal one as well.

The program has a l ready seen Pete r do this, granting a qualification in Youth Mental Health First Aid, amongst other skills.

Peter also said he’s met many new people

w ho, he adm its, “ I w o u l d n’t ot h e r w i s e know,” and this, for him, was the highlight thus far.

Both Lilly and Peter a re eager to see the program through its th ree stages – a s e nt i m e nt s h a re d by

many other participants.

Vivian Evans, organiser of the E m p o w e r i n g Yo u t h Prog ram, expressed pride in the program’s progress and optimism for its future.

She highlighted the Mental Health First Aid

cou r se on Sunday as a key moment, noting i t p rov i d e d va l u a b l e s k i l l s fo r co n n e c t i n g with others, addressing friend and family issues, a n d o f fe r i n g p r o p e r support.

In the past, regional areas have proved to h a ve h i g h e r rate s of youth with mental health issues, so providing a skillset in mental health first aid to our youth will

Fatal single vehicle crash – Gunnedah A man has died following a single-vehicle crash near Mullaley.

Just before 5.30am on Saturday, 20 July, emergency services were notified of a single vehicle crash on Quia Station Road at Ghoolendaadi, about 40 kilometres west of Gunnedah.

On arrival, officers attached to Oxley Police District found a dualcab utility had left the roadway and overturned.

The driver, a man aged 21, was treated at the scene by witnesses and Ambulance paramedics, however he was unable to be revived.

A n i nvestigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash has commenced.

Businesses navigate global IT outage The world was hit by a global IT outage last Friday, 19 July, as a result of a fault in a routine update from U.S. based cybersecurity company, CrowdStrike.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY The outage was not c au s e d b y a c y b e r security breach, but by a faulty routine update, affecting approximately 8.5 million computers, resulting in thousands of f light cancellations and impacting countless businesses.

W h i le the Federa l G over nment issued warnings for Aussies to be wary of scammers and hackers following the outage, most businesses and systems were operational again

by Saturday.

Prime Minister A nthony A lba nese ensu red Austra l ia ns that the Government was working closely with the National Cyber Security coordinator, and that “there is no impact to critical infrastructure, government services, or triple zero services at this stage.”

A s the a f ter noon prog ressed, however, NSW Police reported that police information distribution services had been impacted. Victorian

Police and Fire Services both reported similar issues with distribution services.

H e r e i n Coonabarabran, however, the impact was minimal.

From retail stores and g rocer y shops t o the library, the impact on many local businesses was minimal, primarily affecting only EFTPOS machines.

A Griffith University cyber-security expert, David Tuffley reported that the networks were s i mpl e r i n r e g i o n a l areas, and likely fared better for that reason.

However, Professor Jai Lee, from James Cook University, criticised the lack of on-ground tech support in regional areas, warning that in regions where the outage had a greater impact, recovery would be slower due to this shortcoming.

There were reports t h at C o on aba r abr a n Woolworths and BWS wer e i mp a c t e d . T he Coonabarabran Times reached out to the store ma nager for deta i ls,

In a national socialmedia post, Woolworths updated their customers: ‘All stores are open and trading as normal for cash and cards. Some checkouts continue to be affected...we’re working hard to get on top of

any online orders made yesterday afternoon’.

While it was business a s u s u a l at C a rl o ’s IGA, one local business t h at d id s u f fe r wa s the C oonaba rabran N e w s a g e n c y, w h i c h experienced “technical difficulties”.

Local roots to global recognition After being recognised by major international corporations as the Most Innovative Chairman at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, Kylie Hawker now seeks ways to give back to rural Australia.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Having grown up in Coonaba rab ran, Ms Hawker flew the nest and embraced her desire to help others.

T h e Stev i e Awa rd s’ ceremony celebrated the achievements of executives, entrepreneurs, and employees, featur ing over 1600 entries across 200 categories.

Ms Hawker received t h e M o s t I n n ova t i ve Chairman award for her work as chair of Better Care Delivered, a notfor-profit organisation that provides disability and respite - suppo r t services.

As a female from a smal l, Austral ian notfo r- p rof i t; t h e a wa rd win was a “pinch me” moment, although, Ms Ha w ke r sa id the titl e was outdated and could be switched to ‘Chair’ or ‘Chairperson’.

C u r r e n t l y, B e t t e r Care Delivered (BCD), manages an industr yleading respite home in Menangle and recently opened a second res p ite a nd a s s i s ted living home in Berry.

Overall, BCD provides in - home ca re fo r the elderly, and individuals on NDIS, with the

primary goal to enable them to remain in their homes and fam i l ia r envi ron ment s fo r as long as possible.

M s H a w ke r f o s t e r s i nnovation th rough bi-monthly board m e et i n g s, w h e re t h e senior leadership team has an opportunity to collaborate and share ideas.

Strategy days provide the organisation with a customer centr ic approach to planning and brainstorming.

The days sta r t w ith a ‘meet the customer’ session where BCD can gain individual customer perspectives, to bet te r unde r stand who they are helping and how to meet their needs.

Ms Hawker also co n d u ct s l e a d e r s h i p t ra i n i ng ses sions fo r schools and hopes to p r ov i d e a s e s s i o n i n Coonabarabran.

Ms Hawker developed an appreciation for fresh food and produce from a young a g e, g r o w i n g u p o n her family’s proper t y, “Braeside” located on Baradine Road. “ I have seen f i r s t h a n d t h e h a rd w o r k and resilience that goes into farming. The can-

do, roll-your-sleeves-up at t i t u d e i s i n g ra i n e d in me and something I have not let go of,” Ms Hawker said.

“Some of my biggest learnings on leadership came from my late f a t h e r, I a n H a w k e r.

You don’t need to be the loudest person in t h e r o o m , h o w e v e r, i t d o e s p a y to l i s te n respectfully.

“Leading w ith the heart is about leading with kindness and e m p a t h y, b u t s t i l l leading with strength and resilience.”

After eight years wo r k ing in co r po rate a n d m a r ket i n g ro l e s for a global ingredient company, Ms Hawker had an epiphany.

One day, when she was in Bangkok talking to organisations about energy dr inks colours and flavours, she re a l i s e d s h e wa nte d to do something that aligned with her values.

“I didn’t even drink energy drinks. I wanted to work for a non-forprofit, or for producers of fresh food. I wanted something real instead of shareholders and fast food,” Ms Hawker said.

“I put the change in motion and although it took some time, I found

my tribe while working as a general manager for the Breast Cancer Foundation. “ I t wa s rewa rd i n g .

I was helping people and to hear their stories on how the suppor t af fected thei r l ives made me feel like I was making a difference.”

M s H a w ke r j o i ned BCD a round 13 yea rs ago and said she had played a significant role in its growth.

C u r r e n t l y, s h e i s re s e a rc h i n g wa y s to be pa r t of mo re notfor-profit organisations, specifically in the ruralhealth sector.

Her inspi ration to do this came from an understanding of the gap bet ween access to quality health care in metropolitan and rural areas.

Ms Hawker will take a well-deserved holiday in July and has been invited by a fr iend to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro, the largest mountain in Africa.

If that isn’t a testament to her strength and resilience as both an individual and a businesswoman – what is?

Budget tackles housing and water security The NSW Labor Government’s second Budget promises to deliver new initiatives in support of regional NSW and significant funding has been provided to the Barwon Electorate.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Labor said its Budget is fo cused on easi ng the pressure on NSW h o u s e h old s t h r o u g h funding allocated towards public housing and essential services, pr ior itisi ng bu i ld i ng better homes, w ith access to roads, hospitals and essential services.

A five-billion-dollar investment has been a l lo cat ed t o publ ic hou s i n g a r ou nd t he s t at e , wh i c h i s t h e largest investment since Federation.

A significant i nvestment w i l l be made in maintenance to address concerns in rural communities about the aesthetics of certain public housing areas, particularly those near main streets.

A reserve amount has also been prioritised for those fleeing domestic violence situations and new dwellings will be built across the state.

A 200-million-dollar investment will be made towards health housing for e s s ent i a l he a lt h workers, addressing the crippling shortages to housing in the regions.

Stephen L awrence, Government Duty MLC for the Barwon electorate of Barwon, said it was essential to deal with the housing crisis and a

significant investment into public housing is what should occur.

“It is a good budget for regions. It has been recognised that way. It has also been recognised as a true labour budget, w it h a n u nde n i a ble focus on education and housing,” Mr Lawrence said.

“I am keenly aware, as a Dubbo-based MP, at just how disproportionate health and education is in regional NSW. There’s quite a few specific items in the budget for this area. “ T h i s g o ve r n me nt h as not cut f u nd i ng i n r e g ion a l N S W; if any thing, we have increased it and we are not doing it th rough privatisation, so you are not paying for it.”

Water security has a lso been add ressed for t h i s a r e a u nder t h e Wat e r S e c u r i t y Regions Program, w it h $1. 375 m i l l ion for the Coonabarabran sewage treatment plant augmentation.

$868,0 0 0 will be put into the Dunedoo sewage scheme. $ 7. 9 m i l l i o n h a s been allocated under the R eg iona l R oad Freight Corridor, Newell Highway program for an upgrade of roads around Coonabarabran.

Mr Lawrence said a lot of the road upgrades occurring across regional NSW are connected to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zones

(CWO REZ).

As more REZ projects are rolled out, more funding will be provided for roads and infrastructure across affected areas.

Overall, the Budget has allocated a good a mou nt of resou r ces for the Warrumbungle Shine and the larger Barwon Electorate, with the hope to strengthen foundations for regional communities.

Stephen Lawrence, Government Duty MLC for the Barwon electorate said it was “a good budget for the regions.”

Kylie Hawker has been recognised as the ‘Most Innovative Chairman’ at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.

Vapes up in smoke As of 1 July 2024, nicotine vapes in Australia have been regulated as therapeutic goods, meaning they are only available through pharmacies to help people quit smoking or manage nicotine addictions.

by GEORGIA SPENCE It is now illegal for other businesses such as tobacconists, vape shops and convenience stores to sell vapes, or vape products.

T he Federa l G over nment a ims t o protect young people from the harms of vaping and nicotine dependence.

Up until 30 September 2024, every individual will need a prescription from a doctor, or nurse practitioner to purchase therapeutic vapes from a pharmacy.

From 1 October 2024, individuals aged 18 years or over will be able to purchase nicotine vapes directly from a pharmacy, without a prescription.

A prescription will still be necessary for those under the age of 18 to access vapes, where state and territory laws allow it.

T h i s i s t o en s u r e those under 18 can gain appr opr i at e me d ic a l advice and supervision.

Additional changes will also limit the flavours available to mint, menthol and tobacco, and require plain pharmaceutical packaging for all vape products.

A spokesperson from

t h e Wa r r u m b u n g l e Local Drug Action Team ( L DAT ) prov ided a localised perceptive on the legislation.

“The Warrumbungle L DAT welcome the government’s adjusted vaping legislation,” said the spokesperson.

“It will restrict the sale of vapes to behind the pharmacy counter a nd w i l l ma ke them unavailable to under-18s without a prescription. “ This approach balances the accessibility o f t he r ap eut i c v ap e products for those who need them, while ensuring access is limited to minimise the harm of recreational vaping in the community.”

A new tobacconist store in Coonabarabran had caused a ‘stir’ on social media and was previously advertising vapes for sale.

This has been since been amended and the

Syd ney ow ners have removed the signage for vapes.

The same bans that apply to tobacco advertising and sponsorship will apply to vapes.

For those wishing to quit nicotine, Dr Nicole Higgins, president of the Royal Australian College of GPs, said counselling and ongoing support was crucial.

“Emerging evidence of the health impacts of nicotine vaping is alarming and include ser ies respi rator y issues, throat irritation, headaches and nicotine overdose,” Dr Higgins said.

“This is about saving ch i ld ren’s lu ngs a nd you nger generat ion s from getting hooked on nicotine. It will put an end to lolly-like flavours and colours designed to attract children.”

Guides adventure in the ‘Bungles Girl Guides from all corners of NSW recently united at Warrumbungle National Park, ready to scale towering peaks and embark on an adventure with like-minded young women.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Several girls, aged 12 to 19, participated in an overnight hike where their navigation, map reading and leadership skills were put to the test.

T he g i rl s h ad t wo options – the more confident could tackle the longer trek, while the younger ones could enjoy a gentler hike.

A fter gathering at the Guides hall in Coonabarabran, the girls headed to the mountains.

Greeted by pleasant weather, they embarked o n t he i r j o u r n e y t o experience the iconic v iews from Mount Exmouth.

The older girls stayed in a hut along the Mount Exmouth path while the younger girls camped out near the bottom of the mountain.

On the second day, determi nation a nd resilience were put to the test as rainy weather i mmersed the g i rls in clouds and turned the trails into muddy challenges.

The hike was supported by the Girl G u ide s ‘ Way To G o ’ program and featured activities designed to build skills and deepen their connection with nature and the world around them.

T he pr o g r a m a l s o suppor ts g i rls who participate in the Duke of Edinburgh awards.

The Duke of Edinburgh scheme requires individuals to meet various sections c o ve r i n g ad vent u r e , phy s i c a l r e c r e at ion , voluntary service and skills.

Kerry Rymer, coordinator of the ‘Way to Go’ training program, said it was important

for a you ng person’s development to take on responsibility and take perceived, safe risks. “ T he sha red experiences, whether it is the rain and mud, or wow-factor views can create memories the girls can draw on through life.

It builds resilience and confidence,” Mrs Rymer said.

“The Warrumbungles were something different. The views are incredible. Guides also enjoyed meeting girls from all other places and realised there were l i ke -m i nded people everywhere.

“The intergenerational sharing of knowledge and skills was also impactful.

We had young women as leaders, as well as older, retired women leading.”

Wa r r umbungle National Park was a lo g i s t ic a l c hoic e for Girl Guide’s in NSW, as it provided hikes of various difficulties and was connected to the C o on a ba r a br a n G i rl Guides’ hall.

I n pr epa rat ion for their adventure, the girls had an opportunity to attend a training session at Crosslands Reserve, in Hornsby.

R ound robins were completed and focused on various topics such a s bu s h c r a f t , l i g ht weight cooking, bush hygiene, how to pack a backpack and adjust it to

a comfortable point.

The girls then hiked t wo k i lomet r e s i nt o the bush and camped over n ight. T hey a lso hiked three kilometres in Myall Lakes to prepare for the larger walk in the Warrumbungles.

Mrs Rymer said Girl Gu ides ca n prov ide spe ci f ic sk i l ls that employers look for and, as a result, many Girl Guide’s have grown to become supreme court judges, corporate leaders and politicians.

Gu ides th roughout the state meet tw ice every year to hike and ad v e nt u r e t o g e t he r, amongst the other diverse opportunities provided.

From the bush to the Opera House A group students from across the Warrumbungle region has recently returned from a once-in-a-lifetime performance at the Sydney Opera House.

by LIZ CUTTS Five local youngsters, selected to sing with the 50-member Moorambilla Voi c e s M A X e d OU T choir, embarked on a seven-day tour which i ncluded per for m i ng at the Opera House on Saturday, 24 June.

The tour followed two days of workshops with Grammy-award-winning English vocal ensemble,

VOCES8, during which the participants showcased their skills with a presentation of new mu s i c a l work s , some of which featured Indigenous Australian language.

Many of the students came from towns with limited access to music education a nd never having had the opportunity to sing in a choir, dance or drum.

Joshua Haywood, from Baradine, was one of five local students chosen to perform with Moorambilla at the Sydney Opera House.

F i f teen-yea r- old Baradine participant, Joshua Haywood said a concert was performed in the main concert hall at the Sydney Opera House, followed by a per formance for an audience in the Utzon Room. The concert was recorded by ABC Classic. “ We sang before an audience of around 2000.

I did have a few nerves, but it was all great fun

and I think everyone enjoyed it,” Josh said.

“We sang one newlycomposed song as well as some we have sung before.

“We then went on to Canberra to sing at a small concert and meet the then G overnor G ener a l ’s w i fe , M r s Linda Hurley, as well as our Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton.”

NRL stars to lead Community Scrum The ‘Community Scrum’, to be held on Tuesday, 30 July, at the Coonabarabran Bowling Club from 7pm, will see a panel hosted by former Kiwi International, Warriors and Titans great, Clinton Toopi.

Joining him will be former NSW State of Origin winning halfback, Trent Hodkinson, NRL great, Preston Campbell and retired Cook Island International and Parramatta NRL player, Brad Takairangi.

K ristian Heffernan, from the NSW Rugby League, will round out the panel.

NRLW and Jillaroos player Sam Bremner sends her apologies to locals, but is unable to attend as she has answered an SOS from the Sydney Roosters NRLW team to come out of retirement a second time, to again cover the fullback role for them.

Clinton Toopi, manager of the NRL’s State of Mind Program, believes that visiting towns like Coonabarabran is crucial for teaching lessons on what good mental health looks like and how to maintain it.

“Many people struggle due to poor mental health and mental illness, but it can be a taboo to talk about,” Mr Toopi said.

“We hope that Coonabarabran locals, having

Vo i c e s , d i r e c t e d b y M ichelle L eonard, was founded in 2006, it has become not only a choir but a unique arts organisation empower ing child ren and youth. Many consider the M A Xed OUT company to be the creative jewel in the Moorambilla crown.

T h rough residency workshops held each yea r in Ba rad ine,

the chance to meet people who have competed at the highest levels, and who have their own stories of struggle, will help break down those barriers.”

Mr Toopi said having the backing of organisations such as The Healthy Communities Foundation Australia (THCFA) is also vital to allow such visits to occur.

“The THCFA is responsible for bringing the State of Mind Program to areas such as Coonabarabran, and also offer help from a mental health nurse who visits the town regularly,” he said.

“That includes the grassroots program we’ll be delivering to Coonabarabran Unicorns players and officials in the late arvo on 30 July at the footy oval, as well as the Community Scrum that night at the Bowlo.”

The NRL and THCFA had previously brought its schools’ programs to Coonabarabran late last year.

“It’s really important that we reach as many people as possible with the ‘Scrum’, as it’s aimed at everyone, not just rugby league club players and officials,” Mr Toopi said.

“We hope we have a full house on the night of people from all walks of life and backgrounds.”

The Community Scrum is scheduled for a 7pm start at the Coonabarabran Bowling Club on Tuesday, 29 July.

“I have been attending the Moorambilla workshops for six years now and love the experience.

Powering the community Guy Andrews Electrical offers a full suite of electrical services, from refrigeration and air conditioning to solar installation, and maintenance and repairs for residential, commercial and industrial needs across Coonabarabran and beyond the Warrumbungle Shire.

Established over 24 years ago, the business cur rently boas t s a team of five electricians, two air-conditioning/ refrigeration specialists, three apprentices, an office manager...and two guard dogs.

B e t we e n t h e m, t h ey have d e c a d e s of experience in mines, cities, r ur al communities and with national corporations such as Essential Energy.

For Guy Andrews, this has been an inevitable career path from the start, as he recalled that he used to “tinker with toys and gadgets as a kid...and zapped myself a few times.” After becoming a qualified electrician, his next goal was to run his own business, which would lead to the development of Guy Andrews Electrical in 2000.

The Andrews family is immersed within the local community, with Guy and his wife, Narelle, both growing up in the area and raising their four kids here. Both are on the Coonabarabran Show committee, and their daughters, Hayley and Danielle, have participated in the equestrian component and the Young Woman competition, respectively.

Guy praised the “friendly people and

8 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 25 July 2024

sense of community” as well as “the broad range of jobs we can do out here.”

And with free quotes, an office open from 8am - 4.30pm Monday to Friday, plus a 24hour call out for emergencies, the passion for the community shows in the business operations.

Guy reflected that the best bit of advice he’s been given was “don’t take advice from someone who is not where you want to be in life.” For kids still in school and looking for a career in the industry, he encouraged them to gain work experience, and look at apprenticeship options through TAFE. As a business, the Guy Andrews Electrical team is passionate about connecting with, and collaborating with other businesses to help grow their own enterprise, as well as the wider community. In this light, Guy said he would like to see the industrial area grow to encourage more businesses.

Moving forward, the team is aware of the changing nature of technology and are prepared to adapt their skills and business to reflect this and, in doing so, continue to provide high-quality service to the community.

Building a vision for local growth

Anthony Prugger always knew he wanted to build a business and create local employment opportunities, and with a civil engineering degree firmly under his belt, a business-minded family and a lot of enthusiasm, he has been able to do just that with the formation of Prugger Group.

A n t h o ny f o n d l y r e m e m b e r s g r o w i n g up with machiner y – his passion for civil engineering starting at a young age. But around Coonabarabran, he felt like there was never the opportunity to get into the industry without moving away, which is the path many of his classmates chose.

Af ter completing a civil engineer ing degree in Newcastle, Anthony knew he didn’t want to sit behind a desk as an engineer. “I actually wanted to build a company,” he said, “a civil contracting company, and employ a civil engineer, and have lots of people working in the business, rather than just being a one-person show.”

It’s a vision he’s brought to life, currently employing 12 people here in town, with the hope of bringing in more workers. “Coona’s a small town where ever yone suppor t s everyone, and local people support local businesses.” He said it was a great place to grow a business, especially because there was demand for this industr y. “We can generate employment, attract people, and help them grow a career and family here.”

The Prugger Group is becoming a strong face in the community, through its involvement with communit y projec ts, to suppor ting local sports groups in Coonabarabran and Baradine. Local work has seen their vehicles out and about, while employing local people has generated buzz between social groups.

Opening from 9am - 3.30pm, the business has evolved to offer civil contracting services,

9 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 25 July 2024

and project management – whether that work be for civil earthworks as sub-contractors to major organisation like Warrumbungle Shire Council, Transport NSW or National Parks, down to local farmers or residents that need an earthworks project completed, or simply – advice.

They are also suppliers of bulk quarr y produc t s, sourcing from local quarries, a n d lea di ng i nto b roa d e r c i v il p roje c t management. The business is also growing towards taking on future projects as principal contrac tors rather than sub-contrac tors, working on projects from the planning stage to the hand-over.

For those looking to get into civil construc tion, Anthony declares that it ’s a broad spec trum. From of fice work to project management, there seems to be no shortage of paths. “You can do anything from road maintenance, driveways, plumbing, stormwater work, concreting and more.”

When it comes to the industrial area in Coona, specifically, he’s eager to see a focus on aesthetic street appeal. “It would be great to tidy up the area, especially through lawns and gardens, and make it a place so that if you need to go to the Nursery or somewhere else, you’re happy to drive up the street because it looks nice and presentable.”

It is a credit to Anthony and his vision for the future that the business he has been able to build will no doubt continue to smash goals into the future.

Family business thrives in heavy vehicle industry As a family-owned business, Mark Goard’s Coonabarabran Heavy Vehicle Repairs encompasses wheel and tyre packages, windscreens, mechanical repairs and registration for heavy vehicles, as well as sandblasting (on and off site), with a focus on the road transport industry and farmers.

The local business has just two employees – Mark and his son, Lincon – which makes the range of work they offer all the more impressive. For Mark, he understands that in a large industry, in a small town, “you need to have your hands in a lot of stuff to make it work”.

Mark originally trained as a builder, but at that time interest rates were 19.5 per cent, so he wasn’t able to get any work. Leaving the building industry, he secured a job back in his home town of Binnaway, working for his father in trucking, before the local garage offered him an apprenticeship. Mark said it was a natural progression.

For people looking to crack into the industry, Mark said they must be prepared for long hours and hard work. “It’s heavier than the light-vehicle industry, and be prepared to study. Don’t be scared, but you’re going to

10 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 25 July 2024

have to put your head in the books to stay up to date with the industry – and listen to what people tell you,” he said.

When it comes to improving Coonabarabran’s industrial area, Mark has a number of ideas. “I’d like to see some street lights out here – you come out here and it’s pitch black at night. A bit of lighting would help deter crime and people looking over fences.” He added that with its prime location right on the highway, and boasting many businesses including his own, catering for truckies and having a public toilet block with showers for truck drivers would go a long way towards keeping it cleaner.

Moving forward, Mark Goard has no plans to expand his already broad business – “where we’re at is the most I want to do” – however, he is excited by locals discovering his business, and new faces in the industrial area.

High school musical! Students get taste Coonabarabran High School’s students are ready to bring the iconic ‘Legally Blonde the Musical’ to life.

Over the past three months, a dedicated cast and crew of around 40 students have poured their hearts into this exciting and humorous production, adapted from the hit movie of the same name.

‘Legally Blonde the Musical’, with music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, and a book

by Heather Hach, follows the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrols at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend. Along the way, she discovers her potential and proves that being true

to oneself never goes out of style. The musical has been praised for its catchy songs, witty dialogue, and empowering message.

Musical director, Dr Michael Armstrong is thrilled with the students’ efforts.

“The show is a testament to the hard work of the students, staff, and families of everyone involved in the production. It is coming together very well and will be an enjoyable night out for the whole family,” he said.

Performances will be held at the

Coonabarabran High School hall on Thursday, 1 August, Friday, 2 August, and Saturday, 3 August, with all shows starting at 7pm. This event promises to be a fun-filled evening for all ages, showcasing the remarkable talents of Coonabarabran High School’s students.

Tickets are available at Prezzies, at the High School, and online from the High School’s website.

“Make sure to secure your tickets early and support the amazing work of our students,” Dr Armstrong said.

“This production

not only provides entertainment, but also highlights the educational value of theatre arts, fostering creativity, teamwork, and confidence among the participants.

“Come and enjoy a night of laughter, music, and inspiration with ‘Legally Blonde the Musical’. This is a show not to be missed, reflecting the extraordinary dedication and passion of our school community. Join us in celebrating their achievements and enjoy an unforgettable performance.”

Coonabarabran High School students are set to delight in their upcoming performance of ‘Legally Blonde the Musical’.

of working life

Year 10 at Coonabarabran High School is something of a milestone year for many students, offering an abundance of opportunities to prepare them for their last two years of schooling and, beyond that, a strong start in the workforce.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY The Work Experience program invites students t o tr ia l a range of industries and i nt er e st s t o supp or t their subject selection ahead of Year 11, and supply them with invaluable networking opportunities that will support them far beyond Coonabarabran.

It’s a massive chance for many, particularly as they are coming from a country town where t he r a n g e o f c a r e e r paths to explore may be limited.

This year has been made easier by the addition of two extra

we ek s on t op of t he traditional two at the end of term four.

T he decision was made after the students’ high demand for certain workplaces (such as the local primary schools, local mechanics, and Essential Energy), made it difficult to access.

The first week was completed in the last week of term two, and C o on a H i g h c a r e er s advisor, Heather Frewin reported that, “all host employers have given positive reports about the students they have with them.”

Twenty-seven Year 10 students (about half of the year group) took the

chance to try out future c a r e er pat h s du r i n g this period. F rom t r ade (c on s t r uc t ion , me c h a n i c s , f a r m i n g et c), t o st o ck a nd station agents, Indigenous social work and disability access, pr i ma r y education , retail, and utility supply.

These students have a l s o t r av e l l e d n e a r a n d f a r, f r o m l o c a l businesses to as far as Ta mwor th , Mer r iwa , Manilla and Sydney.

It is certainly proving to be a successful venture, and one which will set these students up for great success.

Muddy adventures “ Ooey gooey, oh so chewy!” “Splish, splosh, splash!” “Mud, glorious mud!” That was the ticket for the day at Yuluwirri.

A fter lots of rain the d igg i ng pat ch had become a swamp with muddy bogs, pudd les and lakes. The children were really excited and decided to take off their shoes and socks, roll up their pants and jump in.

So much jumping and splashing, some were r unning th rough the mud, while others were sitting in the middle of the puddles grabbing hand fuls of mud and watching it slip through their fingers.

Then the construction began – bridges were put in, together with the children suggesting planks to use to walk over the swamp. Being able to balance along t h e s l i p p e r y mud d y bridges and beams was a wonderful challenge for build ing g ross motor skills and spatial awareness.

In the afternoon, the children asked to dig in

the “swamp” and grabbed their shovels, asking their educators to help them fill in the puddles so they could drive their trucks over.

The children were able to decide for themselves when it was time to finish their play, getting their bags and going to the bathroom. With educator support, most children were able t o clea n themselves and change into clean clothes as they shared stories of their mud play adventures.

Vacation Care Va c a t i o n C a r e a t the R obertson Street Campus provided two weeks of planned activ ities and events keeping the children safe and entertained during t he s c ho ol hol id ays .

T here were NA I DOC activities, a construction day, a movie day, art, cook ing and dancing experiences. Highlights included hands-on science experiments and cook ing damper that included an impromptu f lour fight, prompting the children to declare – “This is the best day ever!”

11 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 25 July 2024

The Vacation Care children were also asked t o creat e a pa i nti ng to be displayed in the Coonabarabran branch of the Commonwealth B a n k . T he c h i ld r e n discussed their knowledge of Australian cultural and Indigenous paintings and talked about native animals including kangaroos, lizards and turtles.

It was decided that thei r painting would have one big kangaroo to represent Toni/educators a nd si x wa l labies t o represent the children that were in attendance on that day.

The children traced the animals and chose where t o place the kangaroo and wallabies on the ca nvas. T hey then painted their own wallaby and parts of the kangaroo and used cott on buds t o add coloured dots around the animals, creating a beautiful painting.

When completed, the children presented their painting to Mrs Amanda Sutherland, manager of the Commonwealth Bank.

Vacation Care children created a painting to be displayed in the Commonwealth Bank at Coonabarabran. Pictured – educators Gina Little, Molly Matthews and Toni Landers with Amanda Sutherland, CBA branch manager, and Vacation Care children Ruby Timmer, Lily Player, Piper Ferguson, Billie Burton, Rhylie Burton, Matthew Sim and Nate Sutherland.

The Narromine Jets, currently sitting third on the competition ladder, will be hosting the fourthplaced Gulgong Terriers in a game that may well be pivotal in finalising the final finishing order of the top f ive – and consequently hosting rights for the games in the finals’ series.

The Terriers are coming off a huge 60-0 win over the Gilgandra Panthers last Saturday, in a game w h e re th e i r f u l l back , Brad James, contributed more than half of those po i nt s, r un n i ng i n fo r five tries plus booting eight goals in very windy conditions for a personal total of 36 points.

Obviously that win will give them confidence g o i ng i nto the g a me against Narromine, but the Jets will be a much to u g h e r p ro p o s i t i o n , particularly as they are playing at their beloved Cale Oval.

Spectators at Nar romine will also have the opportunity to witness a Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup leaguetag game bet ween t h e u n d efe a te d J et s and the fourth-placed Terrier sides, as well as a youth league game and reser ve g rade games between the two clubs.

Wh i l e those g a mes at Nar romine present themselves as qualit y co nte s t s , t h e re i s n o doubt that the Boronia C u p g a m e b et w e e n the unbeaten Coolah Roos and the secondplaced Cobar Roosters is the match of the round and one that should see Coolah’s Bowen Oval bulging at the seams.

This upcoming contest is attracting a high degree of interest in what many might consider to be a grand-final preview, with first playing second as they currently stand on the competition ladder.

The Roosters would like nothing better than to be heading home with the Boronia Cup, after they lost it to the ‘Roos at Cobar when they last met back in round four, that score being 22 to 16.

Cobar had a big win over the Baradine Magpies last Saturday, coming away as 56 to 6 victors in the game played at Baradine, while Coolah had to survive a second-half rally by the Coonaba rab ran

Unicorns before winning 4 0 po i nt s to 3 0 af te r looking well in command in the first half.

Undoubtedly the ‘Roos will be addressing the need to stay focused for the full 80 minutes as they go into Saturday’s game a g a i n s t th e ta l ented Roosters’ outfit.

Apart from the Boronia Cup, with just two rounds remaining Cobar is mathematically still a chance of being minor premiers if they can win both their games and Coolah loses both theirs; then it would come down to who had the better points’ differential. At the moment, Coolah has a differential of +267, whilst Cobar’s is +213.

The remaining f i rstgrade game this weekend will see the Gilgandra Panthers and the Baradine Magpies clash at Gilgandra, and whilst both clubs are out of semi-final contention, they will be playing for both club pride and the Noonan-Campbell Cup.

Kookas book a semi-final berth with runaway win The Coonabarabran Kookas booked a spot in the Central West Oilsplus Cup semifinals after scoring a convincing 82-5 win over the Trangie Tigers in a home-game match played on the weekend.

RUGBY UNION It was another cold blustery Saturday with some wea k su nsh i ne as the Kookas rolled up for the final round of the competition at C oonaba rabra n’s number three oval.

Coona’s opponents, Trangie, arrived with 20 players and plenty of enthu si a sm a nd the Kookas knew they had to win to be sure of four th position on the ladder after Molong had wrapped up third position when beating Ca now i nd ra 3 4 -7 on Friday night.

There was a strong wind blowing across the field slightly favouring T ra ng ie, who were running from the dogtrack end. The Kookas took a few minutes to warm up, but once they

got going it was oneway traffic towards the Tigers’ line. Three tries were scored inside the first 15 minutes and the game was already in the bag.

T here were four more tries and three conversions before half time, as the score of 41-0 was staying ahead of the clock.

T he second half produced more of the same, as the Kookas scored another seven tries, but only converted three – not good weather for kicking accuracy!

Trangie crossed for o n e t r y, w h i c h w a s warmly received by all supporters as the Tigers never stopped trying. It is hoped that they can turn their enthusiasm into more competitive performances next season.

The final score was

8 2 - 5 t o t he K o o k a s and both coaches were happy with the hit-out, although every player knows they w ill face much tougher opposition in the matches ahead.

This week I’d like to make special mention of the two young wingers, Blake Kuras and Cooper T hompson, who both h ad g r e at g a me s i n at t a c k a nd de fe n c e .

Darcy Clifton also made numerous strong runs, long kicks and powerful tackles.

The minor semi-final next Saturday against Molong will be played at Cumno ck a nd the Kookas a re hopi ng for a good rol l up of supporters to cheer them on. Wellington, as the minor premiers, w i ll host the major semi-final against Coolah.

Riders ring it in From 17-20 of July, the cowboys and cowgirls of Coonabarabran and surrounds put their best boot – and hoof – forward to participate in the ‘Pony Club Ringers Mini Camp’ held at the Coonabarabran Showground.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY For junior equine enthusiasts, the annual pony club camp held in the September holidays is a highlight, and last year the Coonabarabran Pony Club built off that success to introduce the mini Ringers Camp

in the July school holidays.

The camp focused on western styles of riding originating from cattle ranching in America – camp drafting, roping, cutting, working horse challenge, horsemanship and team penning, with a competition at the end to showcase the riders’ efforts.

Moree mayor to step down

Cr Mark Johnson announces he will not seek re-election at September poll

By BILL POULOS

bill@moreeonlinenews.com.au

Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson will not stand for re-election when voters go to the polls at the NSW local government elections in September.

Mr Johnson said his family was a priority.

“I have enjoyed my time, but I won’t be running again,” Mr Johnson said.

“That’s a personal decision. Another four years (as mayor) at this time in my life is just too much for me at this stage.

“I’ve got a second grandchild on the way and we’re looking forward to that, and we have plans to travel.

“But at the end of my term, I will be very proud and privileged that I’ve been able to have this role. Not every day is a good day, but most days are great

days,” he smiled.

“I do enjoy being mayor, very much so. When I became mayor, Mike Montgomery, a former mayor, told me it is a great job, but not a good job. We do disappoint people. They come to us with problems and sometimes we must tell them we can’t solve

them,” he said.

“But it will always be an honour to have been given the opportunity to lead our shire,” he said.

Mr Johnson is Moree born-andbred, and deeply proud of his hometown.

Service to Annual shutdown of Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre the RFS recognised The Namoi Gwydir District Rural Fire Service was officially presented with new firefighting vehicles and more than 60 NSW RFS volunteers were recognised for their service at three recent ceremonies in the north-west.

RFS Deputy Commissioner, Kyle Stewart APM, and Stephen Lawrence MLC made the presentations in Narrabri, Moree and Bingara.

“With years of service ranging from 10 to 62 years, many of these volunteers have dedicated a significant portion of their life to protecting others,” Deputy Commissioner Stewart said.

“They include Group Captain Bill Pownall who has given 60 years of service to the Wallah Brigade in Narrabri area.

“I am also pleased to handover a new Category 1 fire truck,

which has the capacity to carry 3500 litres of water, to the Narrabri Brigade, and a 1100 litre Category 7 truck to the Tibbereena Brigade.”

Bingara hosted the second event when Deputy Commissioner Stewart awarded 31 Long Service Medals and handed over a new Category 7 truck to the Oakey Brigade.

The third event was held in Moree, when Ashley Brigade’s 20th anniversary was celebrated, and a new Category 7 fire truck handed over to the Boggabilla Brigade, with 14 volunteers recognised with long service medals.

“Among the medal recipients is Stuart Boydell who has been a committed and respected member of the Tyreel Brigade since joining the RFS in 1962,” the Deputy Commissioner

Moree Plains Shire Council has advised that the annual pool closure at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre will take place from July 29 to 31.

The annual shut down will allow Belgravia Leisure to complete regulated works before reopening on August 1.

In addition to the regulated works being completed, council continues to work on upgrades within the centre to the passive and active artesian pools.

Upon reopening in August, the passive pool will be closed for refurbishment and shortly thereafter the wellness pool will come online as the public artesian pool, offering patrons an alternate artesian experience.

Unfortunately, there will be a short period where no artesian pools are available, while this changeover occurs.

From August 1, entry to the pool will be charged a $2 for all aquatic users (excluding the waterslide and aqua programs).

These changes will not affect the Aqua Movers’ program as this will continue to be facilitated in the program pool.

Once the wellness pool opens, due to its size, there will be a 30 patron limit at any one time.

To address capacity issues, council will be running one hour booking slots for patrons who wish to soak in the artesian water.

During this time, council cannot take group bookings for the wellness pool.

The annual shutdown of the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre will take place from July 29 to 31. In addition to these works, council continues upgrades within the centre to the passive and active artesian pools.

The changes at the MAAC will bring into effect: Entry fee of $2 for everyone older than five years of age (excluding aquatic programs, gym/ fitness and slide fees).

During the redevelopment of the outdoor artesian pools all aquatic memberships will be on hold.

Thirty patron and one hour session limit in the wellness pool.

Council encourages all patrons to call and make bookings for the wellness pool, to avoid

disappointment.

The MAAC will recommence under the same operational times.

Council’s general manager Kelvin Tytherleigh acknowledged “that the continual works do see interruptions and we understand that the centre not running at full capacity, therefore, we have reduced the pool(s) entry fee to a flat $2”.

“Council appreciates the community’s understanding as we continue to work on the redevelopment of the MAAC.”

Group Captain Bill Pownall, Wallah Brigade, was presented with the 60 years active service Long Service Medal 5th Clasp, marking 61 years of service to the community through the RFS. Deputy Commissioner made the presentation to Mr Pownall and other long serving volunteers at the Narrabri ceremony.

The Namoi-Gwydir RFS district is a huge area of 40,500 square kilometres, with a population of 13,135 people and encompasses the majority of the Pilliga Forest Complex, about 500,000 hectares, Mount Kaputar and the Nandewar Range.

“There is an increasing amount of mining infrastructure, both open cut and underground which have considerable risks

associated,”the RFS notes.

Twelve ‘Section 44’ operations, a severe fire situation requiring extensive fire fighting and support services to be brought in, have been declared in the Namoi-Gwydir area over the last ten years.

The most recent was the Duck Creek fire near Narrabri in December last year.

Moree CWA branch hosts domestic violence forum

By BILL POULOS

bill@moreeonlinenews.com.au

Moree branch of the Country Women’s Association last week hosted a confronting forum dealing with domestic violence and coercive behaviour, bringing together representatives from local welfare agencies and organisations as well as community members from across the district.

Guests included Moree mayor Mark Johnson, Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan, Moree Plains Shire councillor Mekayla Cochrane and Nicole Youngberry, from Centacare New England NorthWest’s Moree office.

Mayor Mark Johnson spoke about the alarming spike in the number of reported domestic violence incidents statewide.

“Domestic violence is a challenging and difficult subject, and it’s vital that events like this are held to try and find a way forward to reduce the awful, upward trend of domestic violence and coercive behaviour,” Mr Johnson said.

“Sadly, the statistics state this very criminal behaviour is on the rise. That in itself, is of grave concern.

“According to Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research data, the last 12 months to March 2024, there were over 36,000 reported domestic assaults in New South Wales, an increase of 5.5 per cent year-on-year.

“There are more than 100 incidents every day ... and these are the reported incidents,” Mr Johnson said.

“In our New England and north-west region the two-year trend for those crimes is up by 10.6 per cent.”

Member for Northern Tablelands, Brendan Moylan, said new coercive behaviour laws introduced on July 1 will

Sadly, the statistics state this very criminal behaviour is on the rise. That in itself, is of grave concern.

hopefully curb the frightening statistics.

“Coercive control is now a criminal offence in New South Wales, which is a step in the right direction,” Mr Moylan said.

“What the statistics show, is that in serious domestic violence cases, 97 per cent have a history of coercive control.

“The state government, to its credit, has taken the step of criminalising coercive control.

“The government now has to try and make sure these coercive control laws work.

“They will be up for review in 2026 and hopefully by then we will start seeing some convictions through the local courts, because the statistics are very clear.

“Coercive control leads to domestic violence, so if we can stop it at the coercive control level, then maybe we can make some difference,” Mr Moylan said.

The audience also heard about the Men’s Behaviour Change Program managed by Centacare New England North-West.

Manager Nicole Youngberry said Centacare was campaigning to see the program extended to the Moree district.

At present, clients travel to Gunnedah and Tamworth for the Men’s Behaviour Change Program.

“Unfortunately, the program is currently only funded to be delivered in Tamworth and Gunnedah, but we do offer a

counselling service in Moree,” Ms Youngberry said.

“Not having MBCP in Moree is an issue we have raised on countless occasions, particularly given the alarming statistics for the Moree area.

“This is something we will continue to advocate and campaign for, and we hope the state government will expand their funding of MBCPs in the near future to include Moree.”

Ms Youngberry said there are currently 18 registered providers of MBCPs in NSW. “Centacare is one of those. The registration and accreditation process is extremely onerous, and the compliance framework for delivering MBCPs is as well,” she said.

“However, this is all very

Three charged after SUV stolen, woman assaulted Wednesday, July 17, police attended a home Police news in Moree and arrested three boys – two aged Three boys have been charged and one boy is assisting police with inquiries after a woman was assaulted and her car stolen in Moree last week.

Police were called to an aquatic centre on Anne Street and told a 24-year-old woman was hit and kicked by up to four people about 6pm on Monday, July 15. The people allegedly stole her handbag, before driving away in her SUV. Police have been told she was approached by four young people who hit her with sticks before kicking her when she fell to the ground. The woman was suffering the effects of shock but escaped with scratches and bruises.

Officers attached to New England Police District attended and commenced inquiries into the incident.

Following inquiries, about 9am on

13 and a 12-year-old.

Following further inquiries, about 2pm on the same day, a 14-year-old boy attended Moree Police Station and is assisting police with inquiries.

The 12-year-old boy was charged with aggravated robbery and inflict actual bodily harm, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, and breach of bail.

A 13-year-old boy was charged with aggravated robbery and inflict actual bodily harm, and be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner.

The other teen was charged with aggravated robbery and inflict actual bodily harm, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, breach of bail, and commit S.54A offence and disseminate.

All three boys were refused bail to appear at a children’s court via Audio Visual Link on July 17. Inquiries into the matter are continuing.

important, of course, due to the sensitive work we do with the men in group, and ensuring the safety of women and children.

“Despite this program not currently being available in Moree, I believe it is both useful and interesting to discuss how the program runs and the interventions that are used, as well as the outcomes achieved.

“By participating in Men’s Behaviour Change Programs, men can break the cycle of violence and create a positive impact on their own lives, as well as on their families and communities,” Ms Youngberry said.

Moree CWA president Joy Holmes said plans were in place to host another forum in the future.

“I was delighted with the day,

and were thrilled with about 50 people attending,” Mrs Holmes said.

“The forum was a big success, and an enlightening day. We heard the good stories and the not-so-good stories, and have been asked to host another forum, along similar lines.”

Mrs Holmes applauded the many representatives from local welfare agencies and organisations in attendance.

“Everyone spoke and described what their facilities offer and interacted with questions from the floor – all these people made the day special,” Mrs Holmes said.

“I am sure we all gained more knowledge of what is available in our town, and the support that is here.”

Moree mayor will not seek re-election Continued from front page

“I’m very passionate about our town and our shire; it’s a great district and a great lifestyle,” he said.

He said key developments during his term was the carry-over from the previous council securing $225 million for the Special Activation Precinct (SAP) and strengthening bonds with the NSW Labor government to tackle youth crime in Moree.

“Funding for SAP was announced under the previous Coalition government and I give full credit to our previous council for flying the flag and getting that,” he said.

“When we had the change in government, that was really under threat. We’re the safest National Party seat in NSW and we were dealing with a Labor government, so that presented some challenges.

“Our strategy was not to talk about the economic development, but to talk about the social outcomes for the potentially unemployed and our youth who don’t have a pathway to employment. That struck a chord with the Minns government and we were able to get that $225 million reinforced. We’re not taking credit for it, but the Labor government agreed to continue the investment.

“The other relationship with the state government is around our youth crime,” Mr Johnson said.

“The Premier came to Moree to a huge amount of negative media. I have to say, Chris Minns is one of the most genuine men I’ve

ever met. He had no reason at all to be in Moree. There are no votes here for him whatsoever, but he chose to invest $25 million across the state, and $13.5 million of that came to Moree.

“We spent the day with the Premier and we’ve had the Premier’s Department here ever since,” he said.

Mr Johnson said developing a strong relationship with the Labor government was important.

“This is a big thing for a National Party seat. We have a great relationship, particularly at state level,” he said.

Mr Johnson said positive outcomes regarding youth crime in Moree would come in time.

“They are longer-term projects, particularly around the bail accommodation facility, where the police and the courts will have the opportunity to put these youths who are committing crimes or potentially committing crimes,” Mr Johnson said.

“The only option for police at the moment is to send them back to homes which may not be safe, and certainly aren’t conducive to doing the right thing.

“We’ll have a bail accommodation facility where these kids can get fed, have a warm bed and have counselling 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“We see this as a longer-term opportunity for our town. Unless we make life itself positive for these children, we’re not going to fix the problem.

“We need the police, and we have a wonderful relationship with the police; we need the courts because people do the

wrong thing and they must be brought to justice.

“But these are negative deterrents. We need life for these youths to be positive. I want these youths to wake up each day, and look forward to the day, and I can tell you, many of them don’t,” he said.

Mr Johnson said filling executive roles at Moree council was a key achievement during his term.

“When we took over, we didn’t have a full executive. A number of our director positions weren’t

filled, but we now have that,” he said.

“We have a great general manager, a director of planning, a director of engineering and a director of corporate services.

“They’ve been in place for about six months and we have really noticed the difference. The culture in the team is strong, and we’re starting to get some real runs on the board,” Mr Johnson said.

Narrabri Shire mayor Darrell Tiemens said Mr Johnson was a great supporter and friend.

“Mark’s wisdom, advice, and support, especially on health matters, have been invaluable,” Mr Tiemens said.

“I have admired his handling of crime issues in Moree and his leadership with the NSW state gXovernment and local community groups. Mark’s dedication and effective leadership have left a lasting impact on the community.

“I wish him all the best, and truly appreciate his service,” Mr Tiemens said.

Buyers from far and wide at Rayleigh sale Cattle buyers from the length and breadth of eastern Australia were again drawn to the fifteenth annual Rayleigh Poll Hereford stud sale at Narrabri.

Buyers from Queensland, Western NSW, Victoria and Tasmania joined regional producers at the sale at the sale venue, the Holcombe property “Kombali” on the Kaputar Road.

While buyers at Kombali enjoyed the traditions of hospitality, lunch and catching up with their industry colleagues, others bought online.Many are repeat buyers, cattle producers who seek out Rayleigh stud cattle each year.

Rayleigh Poll Hereford Stud was established in 1957.

Twenty three of 29 bulls sold, with two to a top price of $16,000 - both were bought by the Steiner family, Coonamble, decades-long established buyers of Rayleigh cattle.

Overall, the bulls averaged $9652. Eleven of the 15 heifers sold to a top of $4000, twice, to average $2409. Lot 38 made $4000 and sold to a Tasmanian buyer online.

Lot 48 also made $4000 and sold to Jarrah Genetics at Banana, Queensland.

“The sale result is evidence of the wide spread of buyers who appreciated the quality and genetics on offer”, commented agent for the sale Nutrien’s Bruce Evans.

“It was a good solid result.”

The Steiner family have been buyers of Rayleigh cattle for decades and again this year Coonamble buyer Gisela Steiner, left, bought the top priced bulls at the annual auction. Pictured, Gisela Steiner, Anna Holcombe and Jeff Holcombe.

Dr Wong said there had been human cases of H5 in the United States but all were linked to people that had close contact with diseased animals.

"The virus is still not adapted to infection in humans," he said.

"All of the infections have been from close contact with infected birds or livestock. People involved in outbreak control are aware of this and take appropriate precautions.

"Also, these infections have been very mild ... most of the infections linked to the dairy herds have been like conjunctivitis or red eye."

Both experts said Australia's National Avian Influenza Wild Bird Surveillance Program had been critical in unravelling what was happening in Australia with the H7 strains, and would also be invaluable in detecting H5's arrival.

In 2018, Christian ‘Chippy’ Petersen had what he called ‘a light bulb moment’ while he was watching a mentary about the BackTrack docuYouth Works Program established in Armidale.

The program’s founder Bernie Shakeshaft was named the 2020 Australian Local Hero for his outstanding role with the community-led organisation and for turning around lives of some of the country’s the most vulnerable kids.

After seeing the plight of disadvantaged youth in his community, Bernie decided to take action.

Starting in 2006 with a shed and an idea, used the skills he developed Bernie growing up and as a jackaroo in the Northern Territory learning from the Aboriginal trackers to develop the award-winning program that uses animal-assisted learning, agricultural skills and a residential facility.

Bernie and his amazing team have helped more than 1000 children reconnect with their education, ing, families, and community, traingiving them a sense of belonging.

“You don’t hear many people talk about their’ calling’ anymore, riously, anyway,” said Chippy. not se“But for me, after watching that documentary, I knew that if I ever had the chance to be involved in something like that, I’d do what I could to make it happen.

water minister misled Parliament in September last year when she said buybacks were not the only tool in the toolbox, and no community would be left behind.

“The minister has declared the social and economic impacts have been considered before approving these buybacks.

“Considered maybe, but clearly ignored when ABARES says past and planned water recovery wipes $602 million - $914 million every year from what the farmgate value of irrigated agriculture would otherwise be.

“We know water buybacks hurt regional communities because it has quite literally played out before our eyes.

“Any form of water recovery must be done in a way that does not have negative social or economic impacts on regional communities.

“We know there are ways to deliver environmental outcomes that do not require water buybacks but the government refuses to act.

“Buybacks are an expensive, lazy and unnecessary form of water recovery while European carp infest our water ways, erosion and cold water pollution take their toll and plans for fishways and water- saving infrastructure upgrades collect dust on politicians’ desks.”

of viruses in wild birds and that made unravelling the mystery difficult.

"There could be many reasons.

We don't really know. The wild bird dynamics at a particular point in time, climate, changes in perhaps weather patterns or just coincidence."

The centre's director, Dr Debbie Eagles, said she could not rule out more strains popping up.

But she hoped the current farm outbreaks would be contained via the strict biosecurity protocols that were now in place.

Meanwhile, Australia was also braced for the possible arrival of another very dangerous strain that has caused mass mortality of farmed poultry but also wildlife around the globe.

It is feared the H5 highly pathogenic strain could hit Australia as soon as spring as migratory birds arrive.

Australia is facing an unprecedented threat from three different strains of bird flu with a fourth on the nation's doorstep, experts warn.

Poultry farms in Victoria, NSW and the ACT have been hit hard since late May, with chickens being culled to prevent further spread.

The CSIRO said on that genetic sequencing has revealed three different strains of H7 - a highly pathogenic avian influenza - have hit farms at roughly the same time.

It is a grim first for Australia with spillover from Australia's wild birds blamed.

But just why so many different strains are occurring at the same time remains a mystery.

"These separate viruses are all closely related to Australian-lineage, low path H7 strains that we know are carried in local wild birds," says Dr Frank Wong, from the CSIRO's Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness.

He said Australia was not able to carry out continuous surveillance

In the Namoi Valley, it is paying almost double the market rate for supplementary water licences. God knows where the price will be in a year’s time …

The first of three Commonwealth water buyback tenders planned in 2024-25 kicked off this week, making a mockery of the Water Minister’s promises buybacks would be staged to avoid market and community disruption, said a media statement released by NSW Irrigators’ Council.

NSW Irrigators’ Council chief executive officer Claire Miller said the government was instead cramming three tenders in the southern Murray-Darling Basin into a single year in a smash and grab raid designed to cause maximum market disruption and community damage.

The first ‘targeted’ tender starting this week is seeking up to 70 GL. The second seeking sales of large portfolios of more than 20 GL each will get going in the first quarter of 2025. The third, open to everyone, will get underway in the second quarter of 2025.

“We know buybacks are already inflating the water market. The NSW Water Register shows the government is paying more than 30 per cent above the market for NSW Murray entitlements under its Bridging the Gap tender from last year,” Ms Miller said.

“In the Namoi Valley, it is paying almost double the market rate for supplementary water licences.

“God knows where the price will be in a year’s time after the government crams in not only these three tenders towards the 450 GL, but also enters the market separately for its $100 million Aboriginal Water Entitlements Program.

“For the last few years, only around 60 GL of entitlements have been traded commercially in the southern Basin, so these buybacks mean the government will totally capture the water market. That’s anti-competitive in anyone’s terms – so where is the ACCC?” Ms Miller said the federal
