Cooinda residents give garden project a “green’ thumbs up Spring is in the air at Cooinda Aged Care, where residents are embracing the season through the ‘Green Thumbs’ project, sparking a positive response from the community.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY ‘ Gr e en T hu mbs’ i s a ga rden i ng pr oje ct , encouraging residents to get out in the garden and partake in a ‘sensory activity ’, tending the garden and watering the plants.

T his project has b e en c ombi ne d w it h crafts, with residents decorating small pots and filling them with succulents or f lowers, c r e at i n g t h o u g ht f u l appreciation gifts for the staff.

For several residents

who were avid gardeners, “it’s a chance to get back i nt o s ometh i ng they really enjoy.”

Sharon Edmondstone, Cooinda’s Leisure and Lifestyle team leader, has been the driving force behind the activity.

For her team, the project had been considered for some time, but it was the warm golden rays of spring that gave them inspiration to commence. “ W hen t he s pr i n g weather came around we thought we’d put it out there to see if the community would

l i ke t o don at e s ome bits a nd pie ces,” M s Edmondstone said. “ The response from them has been amazing.”

Small terracotta pots, glass jars and succulents were among the goods donated t owa rds the project.

For those looking to support ‘Green Thumbs’, plants are on the wish list.

“If people can bring them to us in whatever way suits them, we’ve got the pots and we can separate the plants,” Ms Edmondstone said.

“Just drop them into reception, and they’ll be passed onto our team where we can make use of them.”

The project will run for the majority of spring, but ,” Ms Edmondstone and her team keep busy year round, engaging the residents in a range of activities. “ We ’r e a b out t o kick off regular intergenerational visits with daycare and school aged children – connecting ou r older generation with the younger ones.”

Cooinda resident Gwen Anderson, with staff member Jodie Lawrence, tend to a garden plot.

Style gallops ahead in Fashions on the Field Coona Cup go-ers were treated to a fashion show on Sunday, with the Fashions on the Field proving again to be a memorable event for its enthusiasts.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY For first-time Fashions on the Field organiser, Abby Baker, the excitement and thrill still hasn’t worn off.

“I’m so stoked with how it went,” Abby said.

“We had lots of competitors across all the sections and everyone was dressed to the nines.”

With race goers all dressed up, fashion spotters, including Abby, found no shortage of contestants, drawing in returning competitors and new faces, as well as those who had returned after several years away.

Independent judges, Maz Saunders and Kate Kirk, were impressed with everyone’s outfits and the details put into them, saying they had a tough time deciding the winners.

Fashions on the Field winners Future Fashionista – girl: Ivy Williams.

Future Fashionista – boy: Henry Mudford.

Fashionable Filly – local (18-35 years): Larissa Wilkin.

Fashionable Filly – visitor (18-35 years): Amy Large.

Colt of the Course (18-35 years): Alex Roe. Lady of Style – local (36-60 years): Jenna Flood.

Lady of Style – visitor (36-60 years): Sharon Edmonds.

Gent of Fashion (36-60 years): Doug King.

Silver Section – ladies: Helen Jenner.

Silver Section – gentlemen: Doug Hodges.

“Everyone said how well the event was run, and how good a day it was,” Abby continued.

“It was great fun, with excited and energetic raceday vibes.”

“The winners were really grateful to the sponsors for the prizes they received, and we had really good feedback from all competitors.”

For Abby, she loved it.

“Talking to the sponsors and organising all the prizes and talking to people on the day, asking abut their outfits and where they’re from, and talking to the judges.”

With such smooth sailing, it comes as no surprise that Abby plans to follow a similar pattern next year, providing local and visitors’ categories on top of the variety of age categories to continue making raceday Fashions on the Field as accessible and enjoyable as possible.

‘Our Country’ display of Indigenous talent Six local First Nations artists are leading the way with an exhibition of striking artwork that celebrates identity, land and kinship

by LIZ CUTTS ‘Our Country’ exhibition in Baradine is a collection of creativity from a group of gifted individuals, who are also related to each other.

The contemporary and traditional artworks, which are painted on ca nvas a nd de corat e b o ome r a n g s , c a r ve d a n i ma ls, d idger ido o, emu eggs and a turtle shell, have been created

by Martin Ruttley, Julie Ruttley, Lyndel Nixon, and Reuben, Leon and Lowana Ruttley. “ We c ho s e ‘ O u r Country’ title for the ex h ibition as we a re all family and Gomeroi p e ople of G a m i l a r oi country and have grown up in the Baradine area,” s a id awa r d-w i n n i n g artist, Julie Ruttley.

“Our works tell stories from our country, our families and our

ancestors.

Julie has been painting for the past six years on Yuin Country on the far South Coast, where she was encouraged to paint at Wa ngga nga K o or i Women’s Group.

“I am a contemporary artist using traditional symbols, dotting and bright colours to tell family stories and paint subjects that connect to Country,” she added.

“Each work tells its own important story. “ W hen I found out that Reuben, Leon and Lowana were inspired by my art, I thought it impor tant that we include their art in this exhibition.”

Siblings, Leon, Reuben and Lowana Ruttley use a mix of traditional and contempora r y styles; they are very proud of who they are and where they come from. “ I like painting, it

really makes me feel c on ne c t ed w ith my culture and it makes my Mum and Dad proud,” said 13-year-old Leon.

“I painted the didgeridoo and a few a r t work s , wh ich a r e on display. I have also painted objects in the c l a s s r o om at s c h o ol and things that were happening there.

“I became interested in painting two years ago. I use art tools called Posca pens, because you can paint very fine dots with them.”

Stand-out 18-year-old Reuben’s stand-out painting of a goanna is a striking blend o f t r ad it io n a l symbolism and vibrant expression. “ T h is is the f i rst time I have tried using a bright colour in the background,” he said. “ I like painting goannas because they are my totem.

“I have been painting seriously for a couple of years, although started t o enjoy it back i n preschool.

“Painting gives you the oppor tun ity to for get ab out t h i n g s , just zone-out and get lo s t i n c r e at i n g t he work.”

L owa na, aged 19, said all three siblings wer e a l l enc ou raged t o c ont r ibut e t o t he exhibition by Julie.

“I was excited when she asked me to do a painting,” Lowana said.

“My picture is called ‘ F i nd i ng my Gr o ove’ and it is painted in my favourite pastel colours – I like a soft colour palette.

“I am now in the middle of painting another one, so hopefully if there is another exhibition in the future I can display it.”

Martin Ruttley has

b e en pa i nt i ng u si ng traditional colours for many years. His work is noted for its fine detail a nd p er fe c t dot t i ng.

He is inspired by his family stories growing up on Country and the cultural knowledge that has been passed on from generation to generation to the men in the family.

An alternative Indigenous artist, Ly ndel Ni xon tel ls stor ies of countr y on canvas with realism, symbols and dotting.

She has been painting for almost 30 years and paints for her children and grandchildren to share her knowledge and culture with her family.

Lyndel said her biggest inspiration is her family.

‘Our Country’ exhibition is now open at the P i l liga Forest Discovery Centre, Baradine, until the end of November.

COONA CUP: SUNDAY 27 OCTOBER 2024

Winning weekend for Coona Cup The Coonabarabran Jockey Club’s Imperial Hotel Coona Cup race meet ran over the weekend, proving again to be a highlight for locals – former and longtime alike – and drawing an estimated 2000 people to set a new attendance record.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY L ocals, v isitors, fam i l ies a nd f r iends flocked to the Coonabarabran racecourse on Su nday, bo ok i ng out lo ca l accommodation in Coonabarabran and gathering at the I mper ia l Hotel for a lively lineup of events.

F i r s t - t i me J o c k e y Club president Brad Edwards said, “I just h ad a fe el i n g a few weeks out that it was going to be big, between the hype on social media and through word-ofmouth, with promising

weather cond itions coming through.”

D e s pit e t he excitement, Mr Edward said he felt the pressure – managing presentations, errands, and hosting sponsors and g uests in the president ’s room. He credited the committee for thei r ded icat ion , emphasising the scale of the event and the ma npower requ i red to keep everything on track.

On race day on Sunday, bus loads of attendees were transported to and from the Imperial Hotel on the f ree cou r t esy

bus, which was a new addition to this year’s races and set to become a permanent fix.

A full bus load of racing fans also travelled from Baradine for a social day out.

D e s pit e t he excitement of a large crowd, minor setbacks a r o s e , w it h l i m it e d phone ser v ice at the racecourse on race day.

EFTPOS machines were connected via Starlink, but cloud cover caused spotty service. “ We t e s t e d i t o n Saturday, and it was perfect – at the front g at e , y o u c o u ld g e t

two bars of Wi-Fi,” Mr Edwards said.

“But 10 minutes into Sunday, we got the call on the two -way: ‘ the internet’s dropped’.”

T he main feedback f r om at t e nde e s wa s frustration with limited access to betting apps for checking results, however, Mr Edwards a nd club secreta r y L indsay Hawk ins personally checked in w ith ma rket holders and punters throughout the day to assist where possible.

Off and racing When the barrier gates op ene d , c omp et it ion

was f ierce. Horses from Scone, Tamworth, Gilgandra, Dubbo and Coonabarabran formed strong fields, with every race attracting at least 12 runners, despite a few last-minute scratches.

M r Edwa rds sa id the stewards were very pleased with the track’s condition, and word of the Cup Day success has reportedly reached Racing NSW, putting the C oonaba rabra n Jo ckey Club on its radar and boosting the reputation.

“It was an ‘enjoying the day ’ crowd – everyone was there to

O r g a n i s er s a r e now taking on community feedback t o creat e a bigger and better event in 2025.

T he partnership b e t w e e n t h e Coonabarabran Jockey Club and major sponsor, the Imperial Hotel, was

declared a success, with negotiations already in place for a long-term collaboration.

Overall, the Coona Cup weekend proved a tr iumph for the c o m mu n i t y a n d t h e Jockey Club committee.

“We don’t have next year’s race dates yet, we’re just processing feedback on where we can improve and what we’ve done well,” M r Edwards said.

“We have plans for a new judges’ and caller’s tower and a new jockey room, and we’d like to see that done before the next Cup.”

Central West residents struggling to afford essential healthcare The Central West region is experiencing a drastic increase in the number of people who can’t afford to visit vital healthcare services amid a cost of living crisis.

The NSW Council of Social Service (NCOSS) and the University of Canberra has released a report titled ‘Access D e n i e d : Austra l i ans Locked Out of Quality Healthcare’. This report revealed a decline in patient access to essential health services, including GPs, specialists, and dentists in NSW, with the trend most prominent in regional areas since 2020.

“This report illustrates that the health system

is broken,” NCOSS chief executive, Cara Varian said.

“When people can’t afford the most fundamental medical care it leads to bad health outcomes and puts pressure on hospitals.

“These statists are particularly alarming in regional areas and are a wake-up call for the NSW and Commonwealth governments to improve affordability and outof-pocket costs for all Australians.”

Since the last report

Peter Nelson’s

WEATHER WATCH As the month of October draws to close it can be seen from most places in our region it was warmer and drier than

usual.

In Coonabarabran, the rainfall to date at 32.7mms was barely half the October average.

in 2020, there have been delays in visiting specialists, GP and dentists due to cost, and extended wait times for specialists.

“This report shows that people in regional NSW are copping the brunt of a stretched health system and that financial pressures have put healthcare out of reach for too many people,” Ms Varian said.

“We need to make healthcare more accessible for people outside of metropolitan

areas.”

T h e N C O S S h a s p r o v i d e d recommendations to the NSW and Commonwealth Governments, including enhancing availability of healthcare in regional areas, reduction in outof-pocket costs, providing targeted support to groups experiencing the most significant declines in healthcare experiences, and addressing the growing pressure on health services.

The mean-maximum temperature of 24.7 degrees was half a degree above normal, while the mean-minimum temperature at 8.5 degrees was 1.3 degrees above normal.

T h e h i g h e s t temperature was 30 degrees on 23 October, while the lowest temperature was 3.8 degrees last Saturday, 26 October – the lowest

since 3.9 degrees on 10 October 1980.

We certainly had a very hot and dry November in 1980, then also a very hot summer in 1980-81, but rainfall was above average.

It has become notably warmer in Darwin the past 10 days. The mean maximum up to 27 October is sitting on 34.8 degrees and is level with the record-hottest

TESSA SMITH October of 2009.

This certainly set up a very hot and dry November in 2009, with maxima reaching 40 degrees by 19 November in our region. These very hot and dry conditions continued up to about 10 December, except for heavy rain in Victoria around 22 November.

Widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms arrived at the end of

December 2009 and continued during the first week of January 2010. This continued into February, with maximum temperatures generally above normal.

Camooweal, near Mt Isa, has continued to bake in severe heat-wave conditions this month.

The mean-maximum temperature up to 27 October is sitting on 39.3 and is very close to the

• GAMILARAAY WORD OF THE WEEK •

record hottest October of 1988.

The temperature soared to 42.6 degrees o n 2 4 O c t o b e r, t h e hottest for October since 44 degrees in 1987.

The first week of November 1987 and 1988 was very hot in our region, with heavy rain arriving during the second and fourth weeks of November and again early and late December.

The Coonabarabran Times is running ‘Gamilaraay Word of the Week’, in celebration of our local Indigenous language.

This week’s Gamilaraay word of the week is ‘bandaar’ meaning kangaroo (grey).

State-wide recognition for HSC Industrial Tech students Four HSC students from Coonabarabran High School have been recognised in a state-wide showcase of Industrial Technology metal and timber major works.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY The HSC Tech Showcase (SHAPE) presents a selection of outstanding major projects by HSC Design and Technology, Industrial Technology, and Textiles and Design students from around NSW. The major projects are a component of these subjects and make up 60 per cent of the students’ final HSC mark. They are examined by a team of external HSC markers who travel around each school to mark the projects and portfolios.

Danual Stewart, Coona High’s head teacher of Technology and Applied Subjects (TAS) explained that as part of this process, the markers identify exemplary works that reflect the syllabus outcomes and high achievement within the marking criteria, which then becomes a

‘nomination’ for SHAPE. If the students accept the nomination, they then are short listed and considered by the SHAPE curators for display.

“The nomination in itself is a huge achievement of the students, as it is a

recognition of the exceptional level of the quality of work that they have produced for their HSC Major Design Project,” Mr Stewart said.

Out of approximately 3500, around 100 projects are nominated, with 30-

50 projects selected for the showcase.

From Coonabarabran High, eight students completed a Major Design Project as part of their HSC – three from metal and five from the timber class.

Out of these eight, four

students were nominated from SPACE: Camron Whittall and Jacob Baker from timber, and Darcy Strong and Kurt Rutter from metal.

“If the students do well with their Major Design Project, it is an encouraging sign that

they are on track to do well in this subject,” Mr Stewart continued.

“A good project on its own does not guarantee a ‘good mark’, unless the students also do well in the examination, however, it is great encouragement for the

students.

“As teachers, we put a lot into helping these students achieve their best, and it is rewarding to see recognition and ‘reward for effort’ for the students who put the work in throughout the year.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Coonabarabran Public R e c e n t l y, S t a g e 2 students went to the B a r ad i n e D i s c o v e r y Centre. It was f i l led with many and varied interesting things about animals and of particular interest to all was the time line about fires in the area.

We l e a r n e d a b o u t the size and depth of the P i l l iga Forest and the helpful staff even gave us tips on the best bird-watching routes.

W e t h e n enthusiastically boarded the bus for the journey to Sculptures in the Scrub. A walk of roughly four kilometres a rou nd the bush i n which we admired five sculptures in various mediums. Of particular interest was a bronze s t at u e c a l l e d ‘ F i r s t L e s s on’, depi c t i n g a ma n hold i ng h is son on his shoulders. This impressive artwork can

Tooraweenah Public Kindergarten 2025 information session A parent information session was held for parents of Kindergarten 2025 students. Parents received information on school routines, programs, attendance, communication and uniform requirements for 2025 and had the opportunity to ask questions. We were very pleased to have such a strong attendance by parents. Parents are encouraged to reach out if they have any further questions.

Bungles excursion Students in Years 2-5, travelled to the Warrumbungle National Park Environmental Education Centre (WNPEEC) for their Bungles excursion.

Several schools from the Western Plains Network, (Marra Creek, Quambone, Enngonia, Gwabegar and Tooraweenah) attended

the excursion – those from long distances away camped for two nights.

Students had the opportunity to meet and work with students from other schools in their grades, with Stage 1 (Year 2), Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) and Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) students working on separate programs for the day.

Stage 1 students worked with Ange Bunner to learn about ‘People and Places’.

Stage 2 students learned about the ’Eucalypt Forest’, with Narelle.

Stage 3 students worked with Wes Leedham investigating ‘Insects and Dragons’.

It was a great opportunity for students to meet and work with other students, as well as getting hands on with their learning at the WNPEEC. Transition to school Another fun filled and

Binnaway cattle sale draws regional buyers The Binnaway Store Cattle Sale held on 25 October, conducted by Larry Tolmie and David Grant Livestock Agency, has been hailed a resounding success.

by JESS RICHARDS With around 300 head of cattle on offer and a lively atmosphere, buyers mingled and chatted under sunny skies with a gentle breeze.

The sale showcased a strong market for heavy Charolais steers, which fetched impressive prices.

The top steers were sold for $1210, while others reached prices as low as $850. Heavy heifers also commanded significant attention, with prices ranging from $1100 down to $480.

A highlight of the day was the standout heifers sold by Chadwick Downs, which were Ultra black heifers PTIC to Angus bull, achieving an exceptional price of $1410.

The sale of cows and calves also drew considerable interest, with prices ranging from $1525 down to $1400.

The strong turnout and competitive prices reflect a positive outlook for the cattle industry in the region, as buyers remain eager to invest in quality livestock. The success of the Binnaway Cattle Sale is a testament to the resilience and dedication of local producers.

Great glossy count on again Grain handlers The call has gone out to all bird lovers to be part of this year’s great inland Glossy Black Cockatoo count.

by LIZ CUTTS The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is seeking volunteer counters to be part of the annual survey this November.

Project officer, Adam Fawcett said bird enthusiasts, citizen scientists or anyone keen to spend a spring weekend in a stunning NSW national park can come along and help count glossies.

“Glossy Black Cockatoos are one of Australia’s most loved and recognisable birds, with their distinctive red tail panels,” Mr Fawcett said.

“The count is part of a wider project to conserve the species at three key sites: the Pilliga Forest, Goonoo National Park and Goobang National Park and surrounding landscapes.

“By volunteering, you’ll be helping scientists to monitor the size and extent of the glossy population across these areas.

“With this beautiful bird listed as vulnerable in NSW, monitoring will help us to better protect this iconic species for future generations.”

Mr Fawcett said the 425 birds counted in the Pilliga Forest during last year’s survey was a great result.

“This makes us cautiously optimistic about the future of glossies in the Pilliga,”

he added.

“While the tally results vary from year-to-year, we think the variation is in response to changing seasonal conditions and food availability.

“We suspect the birds are spreading out further across the landscape in wetter seasons, which means they are typically harder to count at the water holes. In short, the surveys have indicated we have a consistent number of birds across the sites.”

Glossy Black Cockatoos are known to come to water sources

to drink in the late afternoon, so volunteers will be stationed at a dam on their chosen weekend to count.

Mr Fawcett said people don’t need to have bird-watching experience to be part of the count.

“The glossy is a very distinctive species and easily identified and NPWS provides a lot of information to help first time counters prepare for the count,” he said.

“All you need is a pair of binoculars, a comfy chair and a notepad. It’s a pretty fantastic way to spend a spring evening

perched up by a water hole watching glossies and other native birds in their natural habitat.

“We have had an amazing group of volunteers for previous counts and many are keen to join in again this year. In fact, the slots for volunteers at Goobang National Park have already been filled.”

The date for surveying the Pilliga Forest is Saturday, 2 November, and the Goonoo National Park on Saturday 9 November.

Anyone interested in volunteering can

register online using the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) volunteer portal.

The project is funded by the NSW Government's Saving our Species program and the NSW Environmental Trust. It is led by Central West Local Land Services in partnership with NPWS, NSW Forest Corporation, Dubbo Field Naturalists, Australian Wildlife Conservancy and other land managers.

on strike

The Australian Workers’ Union, which rep resents the workers, said the action commenced after negotiations supervised by the Fair Work Commission with GrainCorp broke down last Friday.

The Union said GrainCorp executives refused to cough up an additional 1% wage increase in year three of the new agreement, which they said equates to approximately 30 cents per hour to grain handlers that won’t kick in for two years.

“In 2021, 2022 and 2023, grain handlers received an annual increase of only 2% a year, despite inflation rising at a rate of 2.86%, 6.59% and 4.10% respectively, meaning real wages have declined by 7.5%,” the Union said.

In negotiations over the three-year deal, GrainCorp offered annual increases of 6%, 5%, and 3% plus a $1000 sign-on bonus, while their grain handlers asked for 6%, 5%, and 4% plus a $1000 sign on bonus – a difference of 1%.

“We understand that harvest is a very busy time of the year for farmers, getting the grain off as soon as it is ready and safely stored is their number one priority,”said Australian Workers’ Union NSW secretary, Tony Callinan.z “ It shou l d be G ra i n Co r p’s numbe r- one priority as well, but obviously it isn’t.

“They are refusing to come to the table with an extra 1% wage rise in year three of the new enterprise agreement.

“We are talking about approximately $0.30 per hour in two years’ time. With the GrainCorp CEO earning more than $1 million per year in salar y plus bonuses, an extra 1% to their workforce is definitely affordable – it would be a rounding error on the GrainCorp balance sheet.

“When our members take industrial action, trucks will be lined up outside of GrainCorp sites right across western NSW. Ever yone is already frustrated with how long it takes to get unloaded at GrainCorp, but with the workers on strike there will be headers pulling up everywhere when the chaser bins, mother bins and other on-farm storage is full.

“For years GrainCorp has got away with offering one-off payments and bonuses while keeping wages low, while making hundreds of millions of dollars in profit, but the game is up.

“AWU members are prepared to fight for locked-in, guaranteed wage increases that keep up with inflation,” said Mr Callinan.

Baradine Magpies celebrate strong season with awards’ night The Baradine Magpies Football Club hosted its Presentation Night on Saturday, 20 October, marking the end of a busy season.

Coona’s cricketers find form in win over Gilgandra Coonabarabran’s cricket team scored a memorable win over Gilgandra’s Town Services at McGrane Oval, Gilgandra, in a day/night game played last Friday, 25 October.

Town Services won the toss and elected to bat. They started solidly, with their openers taking the score past 50 before they lo st thei r f i r st wicket.

This was followed by a stand of 135 between the Hazelton Brothers – Ash and Kieran – which ended when Kieran was dismissed for 48 in the 37th over.

T he G i l s ide t hen col lapsed and at the end of their 40 overs

they were 6 -190, Ash Hazelton being the top scorer with a very well compiled 92.

W i c ke t t a ke r s f o r Coona were Nick Willoughby (3-29), Ben Hjort (2-27) and Jericho Chatfield (1-33), all of whom bowled eight overs.

Need ing 191 for victory, Coona’s innings started poorly and after 16 over s t hey fou nd themselves in real trouble at 4-56, Nick Willoughby holding the

innings together on 34 not out. But, from that point on, the game slowly swung Coona’s way.

Nick was joined at the crease by Ben Hjort and when Ben was dismissed for 19 they had taken the score to 133 and had Coona in sight of an unlikely victory.

Nick was then joined

by Jer icho Chatf ield and together they put on 4 4 before Jer ico’s dismissal. That brought Matt K ilonova to the

crease and he and Nick saw the side home, the team reaching 6-191 and victory in the 34th over.

Nick Willoughby finished on 136 not out.

His fine innings included 14 fours and 6 sixes.

T he competition now stops for harvest break, so Coona’s next scheduled game is not until 23 November, when they play Gulargambone here in Coona.

Off and racing at Coona Cup

by COL HODGES In the space of six weeks, the Jane Clement, Armidale-trained, seven-year-old gelding Macleay has won two country Cups as a rank outsider.

Starting at $61, Macleay won the Moree Cup and, after unplaced runs at Newcastle and Dubbo, returned a $51 TAB dividend when winning the $75,000 Imperial Hotel Coonabarabran Cup on Sunday, 27 October.

Racing in front of a very big crowd at Coonabarabran in the 1600 metres Cup, Zounile led the 12-horse field from Smart Shot, Macleay and Burdekin, while the $2.15 favourite, Dances With Hooves, was near last in the early stages.

Turning for home, Dances With Hooves looked a chance when pulled out wide, however, it was Macleay, given a charmed run on the rails by apprentice Shannen Llewelyn, charging to the line to win by over a length from Rhythm Is A Dancer (Clayton Gallagher, $2.90),

Smart Shot (Jake Pracey-Holmes,$9) and Zounile.

While the ride by Shannen Llewellyn was outstanding, equally as impressive was the exhibition by another apprentice, Chelsea Hillier, when winning the 1100 metres Expo Cup Day Sprint on the Rod Northam, Sconetrained Jacenza.

Near last and behind a wall of horses at the top of the straight, the $3.40 favourite Jacenza was pushed through a very narrow opening on the rails over the concluding stages by Chelsea Hillier to defeat Life’s A Party (Ashley Morgan, $4.60) and Scarzel (Cobi Vitler, $14).

After arriving in Australia from Wales, the first meeting Ashley Morgan rode at was Coonabarabran.

Now a leading jockey, Morgan was back in town to win the 1600 metres Barrons Tyres and Reggies Hotel Baradine Class 3 Handicap on Wanda River for Tamworth trainer, Sue Grills.

Disease partnership underway The partners in a $13 million landmark partnership to tackle diseases of cotton were announced at the recent Australian Cotton Conference.

The Australian Cotton Disease Collaboration (ACDC) sees the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) and Qld Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) partner with CRDC to help safeguard Australian cotton growers against the rising economic impact of disease.

With disease already having a significant impact on Australian cotton growers, and climate change threatening to increase the spread and severity of plant diseases, CRDC is making its largest single investment in a first-of-its-kind collaborative approach to cotton disease research through ACDC. The initiative is part of CRDC’s commitment to disease research under its five-year strategic RD&E Plan, Clever Cotton.

The goal is to reduce the impact of both current and emerging diseases to less than five per cent of the cost of production by 2028, through RD&E to support practice change. Currently the impact of disease is 14 per cent of the cost of production.

“Disease is a critical challenge for Australia’s cotton industry – contributing to significant yield losses which undermine long-term confidence in growing cotton. In extreme cases, disease pressure is forcing some growers to opt out of cotton production altogether,” said CRDC innovation broker Elsie Hudson who oversees the initiative.

“Recent research commissioned

by CRDC has found that across the

cotton industry, disease is causing an eight per cent reduction in yield.

“For growers directly affected by disease, they are seeing an average reduction in yield of 12 per cent. In

some extreme cases, it can be as high as 100 per cent: their entire crop is at risk. While we’ve invested in cotton disease research over several decades, a new approach is needed to overcome this persis-

tent, leading limitation in the cotton production system.”

ACDC changes the game for growers, delivering a comprehensive coordinated national disease program that will help understand

YOUR PARTNER IN PRECISION

the impact of disease, enhance foundational pathology resources and capability, and deliver tactical management and innovative technical solutions.

Community groups share in youth activities funding Almost $60,000 in funding has been awarded to community organisations in the Moree Plains Shire to assist in the delivery of engaging youth activities.

The funding forms part of the NSW government’s Moree After Hours Activities Grants program administered by the Premier’s Department.

Five local organisations are the first to receive a grant from the state government as part of the program to boost activities and opportunities for young people outside of school hours, including weekends and public holidays.

NSW Premier Chris Minns said the NSW government is supporting young people in Moree and making the community safer.

“By providing these activities, we will help prevent crime and give young people more opportunities to succeed,” Mr Minns said.

Moree Plain Shire Council mayor Susannah Pearse thanked Premier Chris Minns and his team for their continued support and investment in the youth of the shire.

“Improving the lives of our young people and the liveability of our region will take government, community and industry all working in partnership and with that I congratulate the grant recipients who have risen to that challenge,” Cr Pearse said.

“The grants program is still open, and I encourage local businesses and community organisations of all types to look at what they can do, what programs they might be able to run, to be part of the solution.”

Mad Proppa Deadly Indigenous Corporation received $10,000 to help deliver workshops and performances at the Moree Block Party. Mad Proppa Deadly and Just Reinvest NSW engaged

Land Council received $5,000 to engage a local Aboriginal artist to create a mural with Aboriginal young people from the Mungindi community. The mural will represent connection to culture, country, community, Elders and family.

Chalky’s Boxing Gym received $25,000 to implement a ‘transportation blitz’, including support to purchase a van to transport young people to and from classes at the

gym, and to transport aspiring young fighters to district, regional and state boxing events and development training days at other boxing gyms across the state. The program aims to help young people build a support network with peers and community leaders, build understanding and connection to culture, build practical life skills and a sense of purpose, and stay safe and off the streets late at night.

Better connectivity must be provided following shutdown of 3G network The switch to 4G and 5G networks must provide better connectivity to rural communities, NSW Farmers has urged as telcos shut down the nation’s 3G network for good.

On Monday, October 28, Telstra and Optus switched off their 3G networks in their transition to 4G and 5G networks across Australia.

NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee chair Deb Charlton said it was critical that the network closure did not result in a loss of mobile coverage for rural, regional and remote communities.

“Connectivity is a key tool our communities need to stay safe and conduct their business, and so it’s essential we receive an upgrade, not a downgrade, in mobile coverage in 2024,” Mrs Charlton said.

“At minimum, 4G coverage must be equivalent to, if not better than, that provided by the existing 3G network, and it is vital no one is left behind or disconnected as a result of this transition.

“Reliable connectivity is a need, not a nice to have, and those in

the regions deserve to be able to call and connect just as much as our friends in the cities.”

While telecommunications providers were making efforts to engage communities on the network shutdown, Mrs Charlton said rural and regional customers must act now to ensure they were not left disconnected from October 28.

“This shutdown will not just affect mobile phones, but the farm machinery that we all rely on to produce the food and fibre for the nation,” Mrs Charlton said prior to the shutdown.

“Farmers need to take the time now to check with their device or machinery manufacturer that their technology will keep working once the 3G network has shut down, or else they face the prospect that it will soon not be able to connect as they need it to.

“Telco providers must also keep providing the ongoing technical support we need to ensure no one is left with a mobile or landline that doesn’t work, and that can’t keep them safe and connected.”

Partnership underway to tackle cotton diseases Continued from front page

Recent Crop Consultants Australia/ CRDC surveys show an increase in the impact of Verticillium wilt, particularly in cooler, wet seasons. In 2021-22, 11 per cent of respondents said disease had impacted them to the tune of more than $300/ha in costs and yield loss.

Twenty-one percent said it cost them between $50 and $100/ha. Black root rot, boll rots and Verticillium were the most damaging in terms of costs and yield in both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 reports.

ACDC is an example of CRDC’s bold, ambitious new approach to solving industry-defining challenges: a shift away from smaller projects to larger single investments with bigger outcomes and bigger impact.

The announcement of strategic partners UniSQ and DAF brings the delivery of ACDC a step closer.

DAF’s Agri-Science Queensland executive director Dr Wayne Hall said DAF continues to invest in cotton disease research to protect the future of the cottonindustry and this collaborative approach will amplify this effort.

“This initiative demonstrates DAF’s commitment to collaboration and to providing cotton growers with tactical management strategies to enhance disease resilience and sustainability,” he said.

UniSQ Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) Professor John Bell said UniSQ was proud to lead the strategic alliance to combat cotton diseases from its Toowoomba (Barunggam country) campus.

“Through cutting-edge research and collaborative efforts, we are paving the way for effective cotton disease management strategies that will enhance industry resilience and sustainability,” John said.

“The initiative exemplifies our dedication to translating research into actionable solutions that will empower cotton growers and strengthen the future of Australian agriculture.”

ACDC and UniSQ have also announced the appointment of crop geneticist and pathologist Associate Professor Sambasivam (Sam) Periyannan of UniSQ as the ACDC director.

Sam has a passion for crop protection and in his previous work with CSIRO characterised new pathotypes of Puccinia sp. which causes rust disease in wheat.

Sam co-developed a rapid resistance gene cloning technique and characterised several resistance genes for rust disease.

He also was a co-inventor in three patent applications while at CSIRO. Sam said UniSQ was uniquely positioned to lead ACDC. “UniSQ is a renowned agricultural,

“This collaboration will enhance UniSQ’s research capabilities and bring significant benefits, training next generation researchers and consultants for the cotton industry.

“As a nationwide collaborative project, ACDC brings multiple experts from various agencies together to tackle disease in cotton.

“Importantly, this project will look to extend beyond national borders and collaborate with researchers from USA, India, China, Brazil and Pakistan.

“Through knowledge and material sharing, this global network will ensure the Australian cotton industry’s preparedness and contribute to the global cotton industry’s resilience against outbreaks of new strains of cotton pathogens.”

Moree cotton grower Mick Humphries is hopeful the change in approach can unlock new solutions.

“Disease is a challenging area to get meaningful R&D breakthroughs,” Mick said.

“We make headway on a promising solution and then, bang! It’s back to the drawing board.

“Couple that with the piecemeal ‘one project here, one project there’ approach the industry has relied on for the last 30 years, and it means solutions aren’t coming fast enough.”

That disease affects different growing regions in particular ways has also added to this effect in terms of focus and capacity. Meanwhile growers are changing their practices to try to manage disease.

The latest CCA survey showed that 32 per cent of respondents had changed irrigation practices as a result of disease pressure, while 24 per cent plant later to combat disease issues, and the same percentage now manage the crop for reduced yield expectation. Other management changes include nitrogen application and rotations.

A small percentage no longer grow cotton in certain fields. Mick estimates disease costs his business 20 per cent of his

gross annual income.

“I want to claw that 20 per cent back, so I’m hopeful that bringing experts together in a strategic, coordinated way that eases the burden for cotton growers into the future.”

Mick is also playing a part in research, hosting disease trials on his farm as part of the disease action participatory research initiative, supported by both CRDC and CSD through their Richard Williams Commercial Research Program.

He says other ways growers can have impact is by engaging with the R&D

sector and CRDC via Cotton Grower Associations (CGAs), who via grower panels, help set research priorities.

“It is worthwhile making connections with CRDC innovation brokers and joining your CGA,” Mick says.

“The opportunity to attend the research priority forums with CRDC and Cotton Australia to discuss face-to-face our issues and put our cases forward is very valuable.

“The more interaction growers have with CRDC, who are a very approachable group, the better.”

National Water Agreement on agenda at National Irrigators Council meetings Cotton Australia general manager Michael Murray attended the National Irrigators Council (NIC) annual general meeting and general meetings in Canberra.

Key discussions focused on the draft National Water Agreement, particularly its emphasis on Indigenous water rights and changes to the Risk Assignment Framework.

The meeting also provided an opportunity to refine NIC’s election priorities, which include reinforcing property rights and advocating for significant investment ($500 million annually) into complementary measures.

The Shadow Minister for Water, Senator

Perin Davey, addressed the group on the opposition’s preferred approach to the Basin Plan.

Attendees also received a briefing from the Murray-Darling Basin Authority on the Menindee Lakes Shepherding trial.

During member discussions, it was emphasised that rule changes as a method of recovering water should be completely opposed, with a continued focus on reinforcing property rights.

At the AGM, Jeremy Morton retired as NIC chair and board member, and Coleambally Irrigation Policy and Communication Manager Jenny McLeod was elected as chair.

Renmark Irrigation CEO Rosalie Auricht

was elected vice-chair, while Cotton Australia's general manager Michael Murray continues as treasurer and chair of the audit and risk committee.

NIC also welcomed Ben Fessey from Olam Agri and Jenna Bell from Murrumbidgee Groundwater/Murrumbidgee Private Diverters to the board.

Children between the ages of six and 12 in the New England region will soon have increased access to support for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), thanks to a new outreach service headed to Moree.

A team of two paediatricians, a clinical nurse consultant, and shared care coordinator from John Hunter Children Hospital’s ADHD Clinic, supported by not for profit transport organisation Little Wings, will offer an initial one-day clinic, with more visits to Moree planned in the coming months.

Eligible patients on Moree Hospital’s existing general paediatric waitlist have been contacted to book in an appointment at the outreach clinic, with children who have been waiting the longest given priority.

The paediatricians will provide individualised assessment and diagnosis before sharing a care plan with the patient’s family GP, which may include follow-up appointments with the clinic’s multidisciplinary team via telehealth.

This means patients won’t need to travel long distances to a hospital outpatient service for regular monitoring and prescriptions.

The clinic does not accept direct referrals, and families seeking an ADHD assessment for their child should continue to be referred to their local general paediatric service.

The establishment of this ADHD outreach clinic in Moree is part of a $7.7 million investment from the NSW government to enhance ADHD services in regional NSW. Since launching in Newcastle in October 2023, the service has treated more than 100 children, including at other recently established outreach clinics in Tamworth and Muswellbrook.

Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said he is thrilled to see the ADHD service continuing to grow with the establishment of outreach clinics to areas where there is the greatest need, including children living in Moree and surrounding areas.

“ADHD affects around 1 in 20 children throughout NSW and we know early diagnosis and management ensures the best health and social outcomes,” Mr Park said.

“This outreach clinic builds on the successful ADHD shared-care model, which ensures ongoing management between a paediatrician and the patient’s regular GP.

Farmers have cheered as a state government inquiry has backed calls for virtual fencing technology to be legalised for use in NSW. NSW Farmers Dairy Committee member Robert McIntosh said the extensive benefits of virtual fences were evident in the state government’s findings handed down recently.

“With virtual fences, farmers can protect sensitive areas of the environment, reduce their fencing costs and even move livestock to safe areas in natural disasters without putting humans or animals at risk,” Mr McIntosh said.

“Fencing off noxious weeds to be controlled and adjusting grazing spaces to make the best possible use of available pasture are all other possibilities for boosting farm productivity and sustainability using virtual fencing.

“There’s no end to the advantages of this tool, and so there’s no reason we shouldn’t

be out there using it.”

With other states already taking advantage of the technology, Mr McIntosh said it was imperative the NSW government acted quickly with industry to ensure farmers could make use of the fences in the state.

“Legalising virtual fences and working with industry to develop a code of conduct guiding the use of this technology are the next two key steps we must see the NSW government take action on now, so we can start reaping the rewards of these fences sooner rather than later,” Mr McIntosh.

“Virtual fences are the way of the future for many farmers, and so we stand ready to help get this technology rolled out and in action across the state. Technology has so many benefits to offer farmers, and we need to be making use of it if we want to feed the future.”

“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.

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," saysFULL Dr Frank Wong, from PAGE the CSIRO's Australian Centre for 35.5x24.1cm Disease Preparedness.

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.

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.

“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.”

The local community has been encouraged to go green and gold in honour of Olympians Shannan Davey (boxing) and Laura Gourley (rowing). During the Olympics, The Courier’s masthead will appear in green (as above) in honour of the two local competitors.

In support of both Shannan and Laura as they head to the French capital, Narrabri Shire Council encouraged local businesses has to decorate their window displays, store front and interiors in green and gold during the Olympics, from July 25 to August 11, and then August 28 to September 8 for the Paralympics.

In addition to the business activation program, several buildings in Maitland Street will be lit up in green and gold from 24 in honour of Shannan July and Laura.

Residents and visitors will be able to sign a ‘community also congratulations card’ for each local athlete, located at the Narrabri Region Visitor Information Centre and shire libraries.

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.
