First REZ project approved amidst community concerns For the first time in Australia, a Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) transmission project has secured planning approval, impacting the Central-West Orana communities of Dunedoo, Coolah, Dubbo and Mudgee.

New program to target youths A new initiative targeting 18-24 year olds of Warrumbungle Shire Council will commence on Friday, 12 July.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY ‘Empowering Youth’ will aim to empower, connect, and create spaces, connections and skills for those targeted.

When program facilitator, Vivian Evans received an opportunity for a youth grant, she saw it as a chance to target a missed group in the community “If you’re not involved in pubs or sports, it’s hard to find a place,” Mrs Evans said.

Bringing in people from within and outside the shire and various local community groups and members, the program is organised over three phases to take place over nine months.

‘Empowerment’, as the first phase, will bring youth together, develop leadership skills, and recognise strengths and weaknesses.

‘Connection’ will focus on connecting the youth to the community and vice versa, through engagement with various organisations and groups, which Mrs Evans said, “gives them an ‘easy step in the door’ to work with these groups, which supports our community better.”

The final phase will be ‘Create’, teaching the next generation of leaders a range of skills including pitching and grant writing, allowing for the Shire to benefit from the ever soughtafter insight and input of a youthful demographic.

EnergyCo stated compensation was the same whether the easement of land was acqui red by mutua l agreement, or through compulsory acquisition.

Warrumbungle Shire C o u n c i l m a y o r, C r Ambrose Doolan said he was concerned about potential cumulative impacts on local communities.

He expressed his concern regarding housing, roads, labor, workforce, and social aspects, due to multiple REZ projects,

in neighbouring Local Gover nment A reas (LGA).

C o u n c i l i s suppor tive of the Temporar y Wor k force Accommodation for the Liverpool Range Wind Far m, however, there were concerns for the overall impact.

Counci l also participated in meetings with the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) regarding the Bi r r iwa Solar Farm.

“Council has urged the I PC to defer a f i na l deci sion on the Bir riwa Solar Farm

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Road rules After swatting up on the NSW road rules, I wonder if I will have to switch from my manual vehicle to an automatic vehicle. The law governing driving states that both hands must be on the steering wheel, thus it seems I would be breaking the law when I have to change gears, as it is not possible to stop on the side of the road to change gears – that just does not work.

I need to take one hand off the wheel when operating the light switch, adjust the sun visor, operate the window wipers and head lights – or should I stop to carry out these operations?

(On a freeway would be interesting).

Of course, back in the bad old days one had to take a hand off the steering wheel to give hand signals when turning or stopping, larger vehicles had a mechanical arm for these operations – the mind boggies.

After spending considerable time perusing the road laws I could not find what seems to be the new laws for large vehicles including SUV s and vehicles towing caravans.

I learnt during my 10week advanced driving course that one should ensure the vehicle one is driving should stay as close to the left hand side of the carriageway as practicable. Not so these days, as many of the afore mentioned vehicles drive on or over the centre line

including double lines, and, of course, passing on double lines for some is mandatory.

I was told by one driver that an approaching caravan caused him to move off the bitumen and hit a white post; the driver towing the caravan scolded this driver, telling him that caravans have right of way...hmm.(Should the caravan display an oversize vehicle sign, have flashing lights and warning vehicles ahead and behind?)

Coonabarabran water restrictions lifted Following improvements in water conditions, Warrumbungle Shire Council has lifted water restrictions for Coonabarabran.

The decision comes after over seven months of water restr ictions due to depleting water levels in T imor Dam and insufficient rainfall in the dam’s catchment area, along with the lack of sufficient flows in the Castlereagh River.

Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, councillor Ambrose Doolan, expressed relief on behalf of residents.

“After being on water restr ic tions for over seven months, lifting the water restrictions in Coonabarabran is a great relief for residents,” Cr Doolan said.

“While there are no longer water restrictions in any of the towns in our local government area, we urge the community to remain mindful of water conservation practices. “ C onser v i ng wat er supplies remains crucial to ensuring sustained availability, particularly during dry periods.”

Residents are encouraged to visit the Council’s website for suggestions of practical tips and strategies aimed at conserving water at home and in local businesses.

The Royal Hotel – a hop, skip and a jump away An unforeseen circumstance has resulted in Coonabarabran’s Royal Hotel opening date to be determined.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The renovation of the Royal Hotel is almost 10 years in the making and its grand opening is not far off.

The excitement is building for the Rickert family’s latest project, however, the owners have found themselves needing to jump one last hurdle in order to open.

After a recent preliminary inspection from Warrumbungle Shire Council and a certifier, fire compliance issues were discovered.

As a result of Council bringing on a new consulting certifier for the Occupation Certificate in May, the Rickert family have found themselves facing last minute hurdles.

This has pushed their expected opening date of 1 July 2024, to a date yet to be determined.

The owners are now required to re-engage costly fire engineers to review and certify fire measures, already provided for in the construction certificate.

Eva Rickert, co-owner of the hotel, said they had been left feeling frustrated and disappointed with the decision.

Ms Rickert said Council had been helpful with the project, however, a turnover in Council staff over the years had been difficult for all parties.

The owners are in negotiations with Council and are hopeful for a positive outcome that will allow them to open as soon as possible Ms Rickert said the lessons learnt were valuable and the outcome would be worthwhile.

“We are doing it for the community. For us to not meet the deadline is disappointing, but we are focusing on the positives. We hope the community can understand,” Ms Rickert said.

“Spring is a time of growth and life. It is warmer and everyone is generally in good spirits. We have worked our butts off and have made many sacrifices.

We will open soon and it will be amazing!

“It will be an establishment the community can be proud of. Our vision is to create a warm, cozy atmosphere with delicious food and showcase talent.”

Some main features the community can look forward to include the pub’s aesthetic, highlighted by a large ironbark bar, and an open-plan cafe serving gelato and other contemporary food.

Ms Rickert and her family also aim to offer community entertainment through potential events such as open mic nights, slam poetry, live music, and trivia.

It is an ongoing development and with the first stage almost complete, accommodation renovations will be set in the future.

The Royal Hotel owners also run Pilliga Pottery and there is a clear connection through the various aesthetic quirks of the hotel.

The Royal Hotel, established prior to the 1920s, has seen a succession of owners over the years.

Experiencing the unveiling of the renovated historic building on its opening night will be a cherished moment for both the community and tourists alike.

Seeds of sustainability rooted in Coona community The newly-established Coonabarabran Seed Library is a free seed-sharing program, currently in its initial stages of development.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Sharing seeds through the Seed Library will preserve heirloom varieties for gardeners and through their return, strong genetics will strengthen biodiversity and food security for the community.

Presently, the Seed Library is accepting donations of vegetable seeds, fruits, flowers and herb seeds, all collected at The Lighthouse, Coonabarabran.

The seeds must be processed, meaning they must be clean and dry, as no unprocessed seed will be accepted.

Tubers, or bulbs, will also not accepted, or seeds that are moist, or mouldy, as it could spread throughout the collection.

A deposit form is required upon donation to the Seed Library, which requests information such as the plant name, variety, source, date of harvest and pollination.

As the program is funded through Coonabarabran Rotary and the Men’s Shed, monetary donations are not required, however, donations of seeds, or items needed such as envelopes and labels will be accepted.

Jamie Brent, Seed Library, coordinator, said the aim of the library is to support self sustainability, health and overall wellness within the community.

“With the cost of living being the way it is, self sustainability is everything. The less reliant we are on supermarkets means we mobilise less food and can access healthier ways of living,” Ms Brent said.

“Collecting seed from the local area creates a line of more resilient seed – needed in Coona with the harsh climates. Each time those seeds grow and are harvested, they will become stronger.

“It is a community project designed to help the environment. It is also just a nice way to get into growing food.

“We are grateful to all businesses and organisations who have helped us.”

The Seed Library will not open until September, but coordinators need to start collecting seeds now

to prepare. Once spring blooms, the seeds will be available for collection at the Lighthouse Cafe.

The seeds will be stored inside an up-cycled set of drawers, created by the Men’s Shed.

The general idea is for people to take the seeds they need to grow the plants and then return harvested seeds to be repacked into the library.

On July 27, coordinators will provide a training session on processing and storing seeds, along with more information about the seed library and its benefits.

Growing plants and saving seeds is an opportunity for the community to learn about the life cycle of a plant and the importance of strong genetics.

wattle 3.0 blossoms anew wattle is back – and ready to recount the riveting stories of connection around the dusty tracks of the Warrumbungles.

by GEORGIA SPENCE wat tle 3.0 invites the publ ic to feast their eyes on a magazine that embodies the values of life in the bush and captures the heartbeat of the Warrumbungles.

Much like the resilient native flower from which the magazine takes it name, wattle is uniquely local and is the first magazine of its kind within the region.

After months of interviews, hours of writing and editing, a little bit of procrastination, accompanied by many a smile and laugh along the way, wattle 3.0 continues to fulfil community connection.

The last two wattle magazines were a hit throughout the Warrumbungle Shire and surrounds, even bagging a few industry awards.

Their success prompted editors Kait Britton and Lynne Estens to apply for a grant under Meta, in partnership with the Walkley Foundation.

The grant application was a success and will not only support wattle 3.0, but a fourth wattle, to be published this coming summer.

Expect the unexpected in this issue, with feature stories that capture the symphony of raw, untamed existence of bush life.

From stories on those who wear heels by day and chase hogs by night, to the Shire’s rich historical and cultural connections and stories that highlight the abstract – wattle has it covered.

Stunning imagery brings the pages to life, as readers catch a glimpse of the Warrumbungle identity.

Editor, Kait Br itton said she was grateful for the continuous community support – and managing to get the magazine to print, just before she was struck down with influenza!

“It’s my favourite edition yet. It’s so light, youthful and fun and I feel like we really hit the mark on where we want the magazine to go. There are still many stories to be told – we are just warming up,” Mrs Britton said.

“My favourite part of the project is working with writers and photographers of a diverse range and experience. I also love when those first drafts are sent.

It is so exciting.”

“We are grateful to adver tising support from businesses, especially those who have supported us since the beginning, when we didn’t know what the outcome would look, or feel like.”

Mrs Britton has embraced community feedback within this edition and a larger font is carried throughout.

The featu red weddings were a highlight in the fi rst t wo editions, captivating readers with their charm and romance and now wattle 3.0 showcases not one, but three exquisite weddings!

The team from wattle now invites the community to the official mini launch of the magazine, to be held this Sunday morning, 7 July from 11am.

Taking place at SPACE Gallery in Coonabarabran, the launch is an opportunity for the community to gather and celebrate another successful magazine, with light refreshments on the side. The magazine will be available to purchase on the day, as will drinks fromthe gallery’s in-house Me & Co Coffee.

A l ot g o es i nto th e m a k i n g of the magazine and wattle is truly a representation of community spirit.

T h e l ate s t e d i t i o n of wat t l e i s available for purchase now from the Coonabarabran Times office, and shortly at stockists across the Shire.

First in best dressed for Ngaire Stevens and Amanda Sutherland, who were first to lay their hands on wattle 3.0 when it arrived in Coonabarabran last Friday.

The magic of Rotary Rotary Club of Coonabarabran held its annual changeover dinner on Saturday, 22 June, where members celebrated 76 years of local operation.

Members and guests gathered at the Coonabarabran Club, where keynote speaker Ross Nancarrow, from the #Every Daughter Matters, spoke about h i s or g a n i s at ion’s f ight aga i nst huma n t r a f f i c k i n g b e t we e n Nepa l a nd I nd ia – a c au s e s u p p o r t e d b y Coonabarabran Rotary.

A raffle conducted on the night raised $1000, which was donated to Mr Nancarrow to assist his organisation.

A lso in attendance at the changeover was area governor, Kelvin Walls, who delivered an informative toast to Rotary International.

Throughout the evening, Marie Knight was inducted as incoming president of Coonabarabran Rotary.

Mrs Knight said she was looking forward to leading the club through another successful year.

“Our committed a nd h appy memb er s a nd pa r tners enjoy

fellowship and fun while unselfishly giving their t i me on a volu nt a r y basis to do good work in the community,” she said. “ T his year, we are lo ok i n g t o g r ow ou r membership; remaining a vibrant club; having a Friends of Rotary team - for those not wanting to commit to joining, but who still wish to help the community, make a few new friends and lend a ha nd o ccasiona l ly; look for new sources of income that allow us to continue to support t he c om mu n it y ; a nd focus on youth – supp or t i n g s t udent s in their interests and development and assisting young people in need.”

M rs K n ight sa id fur ther env isaged programs include continuing the men’s mental health project ‘Barbie with the Blokes’, and presenting an International Women’s Day event.

I n p r e s e nt i n g h i s treasurer’s report, Mr John Sawyer said the club was i n a sou nd financial position. “ T hroughout the year, the club raised considerable funds via the R otary Bookshop and the catering trailers, which continues to be well supported by the community,” Mr Sawyer said.

“During the year, from these community funds, the club has approved and distributed more than $5000 to various school programs, Rotary y o ut h pr o g r a m s , a s well as other charitable organisations.”

On the night, Rotary d istr ibuted f u r ther donations to a number of local community groups a nd orga n isations, totalling almost $30,000.

Attendees were intrigued by M rs K n i g ht ’s m a g i c i a n’s outfit. It wasn’t until the unveiling of the new banner from incoming

R otary International president, Stephan ie Urchick, that the penny dropped, with the theme for the 2 024 -25 yea r bei ng ‘ T he M ag ic of Rotary’.

M rs K night said it was worth reflecting on a quote from Ms Urchick: ‘Don’t misunderstand me, we are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand and saying some f u n ny words. It ’s up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member’. “ For ou r club, ou r magic will be focused on our local community,” Mrs Knight said.

“The 2024/25 theme colou rs a re ora nge, the colour of autumn a nd of cha nge, a nd sky blue, the colour of thoughtfulness.

“The message behind these colours is that by thoughtful change we can ma ke R ota r y magic.”

Incoming Coonabarabran Rotary president, Marie Knight, and outgoing president Russ James at the changeover dinner. During the evening, Mr James was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship for his services and dedication to the ‘Every Daughter Matters’ and ‘Barbie with the Blokes’ program.

Martin Lill and Dave McKean enjoyed attending the Rotary Club changeover dinner at the Coona Club.

On the prowl: the case of the mysterious missing cats There has been a rise in reports of missing pet cats in Coonabarabran in recent weeks and the community is divided on the best course of action.

by GEORGIA SPENCE T h e d e b a te b et w e e n domesticated cats and their effect on native wildlife in Australia has been longstanding and the evidence of their damage is extensive.

Despite their valued role as a companion, pet cats who are allowed to roam, are estimated to kill 546 million animals per year in Australia.

Add the amount of wildlife feral cats kill each year and one can understand the risk cats pose to biodiversity.

Studies of pet cats using video-tracked collars have shown a roaming cat can kill more than three animals every week, regardless of how much they are fed.

In an attempt to reduce the damage cats do to their property and native wildlife, some individuals often take measu res i nto thei r own hands through cat traps and baits.

Those who catch cats are responding to an urgent threat against Australia’s

native wildlife.

However, when a response is unlikely to address the bulk of the problem and people’s beloved pets go missing, under what measures should individuals take the situation into their own hands?

Lately, reports of missing pet cats have increased in the Warrumbungle Shire and varying opinions have been shared publicly through Facebook on the Coonabarabran Community Noticeboard.

The Coonabarabran Times reached out to various cat owners who had reported their pet missing, however, most were reluctant to share their story.

Emma McDonald responded to a post on the Facebook noticeboard page, regarding an individual’s family cat, who was found caught in a trap, next to their back fence.

“My cat stays at home.

She is desexed, chipped, registered and has a tracker.

She is a very loved family pet. If anyone harms her, I

won’t be happy at all,” Mrs McDonald said.

“I agree feral cats are a huge problem. Let’s look at the irresponsible people that do not deserve their cats and dump kittens!

“Let’s also consider letting people know publicly if you intend to put a trap out on public proper ty – which, somehow I think is taking things into your own hands, vigilante style.”

In 2021, Warrumbungle Sh i re Counci l asked the community to help reduce the rise in numbers of feral and stray cats across the Warrumbungle Shire.

Council said it was important for cat owners to desex their cats, and stray cats would be re-homed if unidentified. If found to be feral by an authorised o f f i c e r, t h e y w o u l d b e humanely euthanised.

Unwanted cats can be su r rende red to Counci l, free of charge, and private property owners have the r i g ht to h u m a n e l y t ra p roaming cats.

NAIDOC festivities – culture takes centre stage NAIDOC Week offers the Warrumbungle Shire a unique opportunity to delve into Gamilaraay traditions and celebrate culture, featuring the town’s largest lineup of free events.

by GEORGIA SPENCE This year’s theme for NAIDOC Week is “Keep the Fire Burning! Black, Loud and Proud” and honours the strength and vitality of Indigenous culture.

The fire is a symbol of connection to Country, community and is a theme throughout local events such as a family fun day, community service day, yarning circles and more.

Events are held in partnership with Maaruma-Li Aboriginal Medical Service and Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council (CLALC).

Every event is free and begins with story time sessions in both Coonabarabran and Baradine this week.

An opening ceremony will be held on Tuesday, 9 July, followed by a community service event, where 11 stalls are set to inform both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people on how to connect with local services.

Free soup and a hot lunch will also be available at the community services event, followed by a

community healing fire and yarning circle in the afternoon at Neilson Park.

The yarning circle is a cultural social gathering, where both Elders and individuals can gather around a fire, share a few stories and a free barbecue.

The following day, members of the community are invited to attend a day of cultural celebrations.

The event will provide free health checks, screenings, hearing tests, a Foodbank NSW/ ACT pop-up offering free produce, art workshops and a dance performance.

On Thursday, 11 July, kids, both big and small, can attend a family fun day, where they can expect a workshop from the NRL Development Squad.

A huge 25 metre, inflatable obstacle course will also be provided, along with a free barbecue lunch, snow cones and popcorn.

To finish the day off, a NAIDOC coloured fun run will be held and everyone is encouraged to wear white.

A kids’ neon disco will be held on the Friday, complete with neon

8 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 4 July 2024

faceprint, neon balloons and a DJ. CEO of CLALC, Brandon Nixon encourages everyone to come along to each event, regardless of their culture or background.

“Our whole idea for NAIDOC this year was just to bring everyone together and embrace culture. We just want everyone to gather and have a good time,” Mr Nixon said.

“My interpretation of the theme is how we, as Gamilaraay people, can ensure that we work together, to keep that fire burning, to ensure that Gamilaraay culture lives on.

“It is recognising who we are, celebrating who we are, but also lighting the path to ensure we keep that fire burning, as everyone gets older and the new generation comes through.”

“We have also been asked when Lingo Bingo will be happening – and it’s going to happen, we are just organising it for a later date. Everyone loves Lingo Bingo!”

An awards’ ceremony will also be part of NAIDOC Week, with local community organisations and

businesses sponsoring all seven categories.

Awards are provided to individuals and businesses who assist with keeping the local Gamilaraay culture alive.

The seven categories encompass every aspect of culture, highlighting community members in the spotlight and celebrating those who work behind the scenes.

This is the most jam packed NAIDOC Week Coonabarabran has seen and each year the activities appear to get bigger and better.

CLALC and MaarumaLi Aboriginal Medical Service have worked diligently behind the scenes and are grateful for the support of both the local and wider community.

Suellyn Tighe kicked off local NAIDOC Week activities with Storytime at the Coonabarabran Library yesterday.

Once trapped, landowners are encouraged to call Council’s compliance officers, who can collect and impound the animal.

Microchipping and adding identity information to a cat ’s co l l a r ca n significantly enhance the chances of a pet being returned if it escapes, or wanders beyond property boundaries.

Twenty-four hour containment is the only way to prevent cats from killing wildlife, however, measures can be put in place such as bells, or various coloured bibs to reduce the rate of successful hunts.

Ke e p i n g ca t s i n d o o r s safegua rds them f rom injuries and diseases, lowers veterinary expenses, ex tends thei r l ifespan, avoids nuisance behaviours and eliminates the risk of unwanted breeding.

Coonabarabran Public Athletics carnival There were so many champions being cheered and supported at the athletics carnival, it was deafening!

Buses dropped students at the town oval and as each emerged sporting their house colours, the competition erupted.

Comets led for a while, but were soon overtaken by the thunderous support of Satellites.

Then, from nowhere, came the melodious strains of the war cries of Meteorites, who were only drowned out by the chanting and enthusiasm of Asteroids.

A wonderful day of participation and enthusiasm was had by all. Every age champion

shone a little more brightly to win their age group trophy. But students and staff loved every effort and result made to make the day such a success.

Mrs Tara Meyers certainly pulls together a well run and inclusive carnival.

She congratulated all students on their efforts and behaviour, remarking that they were all wonderful!

Congratulations to our age champions: Junior Girl: Sophie Aylett.

Junior Boy: Kaide Galvin.

11 year Boy: Bentley Jones.

11 year Girl: Audrey Rouse.

Senior Boy: Keanu

Rogers.

Senior Girl: Kerry Chatfield.

The winning house was Asteroids and our spirit trophy was awarded to Comets.

Nepean Christian College visit Earlier in the week we had a special visit from the Nepean Christian College, who brought a wonderful and interesting afternoon of music to our school. They sang, danced, and managed to get everyone into the groove of the music. The audience appreciation and participation were very evident in their involvement and enjoyment. A great experience for all.

Teddy Bear’s Picnic K-2 attended a n excursion to the Warrumbungle National Pa rk E nv i r on ment a l Education Centre ( WNPEEC) this week for a ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’.

Students enjoyed a nature treasure hunt, looking for the colours of the rainbow, and making houses for the tiny, very shy, teddies that have been known to live in and around the Warrumbungles.

When students r et u r ne d bac k , t hey found the teddies had d isappea red , a nd a search began throughout the bush to f ind the missing teddies. Luckily, they were located safe

and sound in the Canyon Picnic area.

Students at school also celebrated the Teddy Bear’s picnic, with many teddies in attendance. A wonderful day was had by all.

The race to the Safer routes to school funding semis is on!

Warrumbungle Shire is amongst more than 80 councils across NSW that will share in $60 million to boost walking With five rounds remaining in the 2024 Castlereagh League competition, the first- and cycling, with $10 million dedicated to supporting active grade top five is starting to take shape, with both Coonabarabran and Gulgong, travel to and from schools, as part of the NSW Government’s who sit equal fourth on the ladder, enjoying a five-point buffer over sixth-placed Get NSW Active program.

Gilgandra.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE While it is still possible for the Gilgandra Panthers to make the semis, their task became all that more difficult when they went down to the Cobar Roosters 22 to 14 in front of a big crowd at Gilgandra last Saturday, 29 June.

H av i ng t e st e d t he undefeated Coolah ‘Roos the previous week, the Pa nthers once aga i n showed that they are a capable side, making the second-placed Cobar Roosters work hard for their win. However, the Panthers let themselves down at crucial times in another game that slipped through their grasp, quite literally at times, with their poor handling relieving the pressure on the Cobar defence on a number of occasions.

That is not to say that the R oosters d id not deserve to win, which they set up in the first half when they went to the sheds at half time as 16 to 4 leaders. The Roosters then extended that lead to 22-4 just five minutes after the resumption of play.

From that point on all the scoring belonged to Gi lgand ra, who started to make inroads when they spread the ball w ide and it was on ly some desperat e defence, combined with the Pa nthers’ sloppy h a n d l i n g , t h a t s aw Cobar claim the win, which consolidates their s e c ond pl ac e on t he competition ladder.

While they will still be in second position irrespective of the result

of their clash with the third-placed Narromine Jets at Narromine this Saturday, 6 July, Cobar c a n ex p e c t t h at t he home side will be going all out to close the gap between the two sides on the competition ladder – and a great game is expected.

A loss by the Jets has the potential to see them relegated to fifth place on the ladder should both Coonabarabran and Gulgong win their games against Coonamble and Baradine respectively, so it is an important g a me i n m o r e way s than one for the red and whites!

O n t he le ag ue -t ag scene, the Coolah Flyers moved to equal second place on the ladder when they downed the wellper formed Dunedoo S wa n ne t t e s 2 4 - 8 at Coolah on Friday night, signalling that they are well and truly in the mix for premiership honours.

The Binnaway Bombshells league-tag side also scored a win, with their 28 to nil win over C o on aba r abr a n being just one of three victories for the Bombies at T he C rat er last Saturday; their youth league side downing the Gulgong Bull Terriers 28 to 10, while their reserve grade team got home 24 to 20 against Dunedoo to complete the trifecta.

T he Castlereagh League reserve grade competition will continue in earnest this weekend, with games being played at Dunedoo, Binnaway, Gulgong and Narromine.

WEATHER WATCH During the last few days of June, heavy rain fell at places in the central west of Western Australia, particularly around Geraldton and Kalbarri where rainfalls of up to 300mms were recorded.

Other very wet June periods were recorded in 1890, 1923, 1945, 1951, 1964, 1965, 1968.

The heavy rains from these periods did take up to a week or 10 days to reach our region.

For instance, the heavy June rains in 1945, which first arrived in W.A.’s central west on 13 June 1945, eventually reached our region by 22 June 1945.

Thus, the recent heavy rain in W.A. may not reach our region until about 8 July.

Heavy rain has just fallen in the Goldfields region of Laverton recorded 79mms, the heaviest June rainfall since 1955 when 126mms was recorded around 11 June. I do recall we had widespread, heavy rain on 17-18 June 1955, and another short burst of rain about 22 and 23 June.

Dubbo has had its wettest December to June period, with 537mms since the 633mms from December 1968 to June 1969.

The rest of 1969 was very wet in the central west of NSW only, but unsettled in Victoria, with only a couple of months with above-average rainfall until the big wet in January 1970. It was dry in outback Queensland, except for slightly-above- average rain for both October and November 1969, right through most of 1970.

Melbourne recorded a very dry June of only 20mms.

Out of 20 cases of very dry Junes dating back to 1840, there were only three which had heavy summer rains earlier in the year and then heavy April rains, which also happened this year. These three cases were in 1864, 1960 and 1974.

They were certainly very wet years in Victoria.

Funding to support Indigenous artists I ’d l i ke t o congratulate the arts organisations within the Parkes electorate th at h ave re ceived f und ing th rough the Federal Government’s Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program.

Run like a Flood Local bakery owners Adam and Jenna Flood have long demonstrated what’s possible with a pinch of passion and slice of determination, and now they’re passing that onto their sons, who are taking it onto the athletics’ field.

Eleven-year-old Henley and nineyea r- old Daley a re talented athletes, claiming several titles and breaking records that have been held for decades, building on a routine that star ted when they were young.

Ad a m re ca l l e d h e used to race their eldest, Henley, to town before he started school. “ H e wa s o n l y fo u r, and he’d be out in front, beating me from home

to the baker y,” Adam said.

What started as a bit of fun for the boys and their parents has grown into a passion based on talent and discipline.

Jenna said her husband, Adam, was a dedicated coach.

“Both of us a re the boys biggest supporters, so between their passion and ours, it’s just a good combi nation,” Jenna said.

“At th e en d of th e

day, though, it’s about getting them to training every day and turning up.”

C u r r e n t l y, H e n l e y and Dayley train three days a week, focussing on speed and power – sprinting, boxing, and swimming in summer.

It’s a schedule that has paid off, most recently at St Lawrence’s Primary School athletics carnival.

Back in 2022, Henley ran the 10 0 metres in 16.28 seconds, setting

the record for the nineyea r- old boys, w h ich Daley broke this year w i t h a t i m e of 15 . 75 seconds.

Henley wasn’t going down defeated however, and broke two records in the 11 years’ boys.

The first was for the 10 0 m et r e s , r u n n i n g 14.22 seconds, beating D o m i n i c N o r w o o d ’s record of 14.31 seconds.

No r wood set this record in 1990, training

under Henley’s grandfather, Keith Flood.

Henley also went on to break Tom McWilliam’s 1987 record in the 200 metres.

Moving for ward, Adam and Jenna plan to let their sons run their own path.

“If they want to pursue sport, they’ll pick the one they like,” Adam said.

“It’ll be up to them to continue that dedication through self-motivation and discipline.”

Wellington looking good for back-to-back premierships The Coonabarabran Kookaburras arrived in Wellington on Saturday to a fine day, a wintery looking field and a big crowd of locals to support the home team.

RUGBY UNION T he day sta r t ed with an entertaining 10 -a-side ladies game played between Wellington and Molong, with Wellington running out 32-22 winners.

T he K ookas k new they were facing a big challenge against the competition leaders and red-hot favourites with only 18 players making the trip, whereas We l l i n g t o n h a d 2 7 players on their team sheet.

The match started well for the Kookas with some strong carries and good control of possession, leading to the first try scored by Ethan Thirkell and converted by Nick Willoughby to put the Kookas in the lead, 7-0.

This early advantage was unfortunately short l i v e d a s We l l i n g t o n

cl icke d i nt o ge a r, their forwards putting pressure on the Kookas’ scrum as well as starting to dominate the battle for possession at the tackle. The Kookas were being pushed of f the ball at the ruck when in possession, resulting in many turnovers for Wel l i ng t on , who ra n i n th ree quick tr ies, converting two, to take the lead 19-7 after 25 minutes.

The Kookas rallied for a short period a nd ma naged t o put s ever a l g o o d ph a s e s of play together as the backs combined well.

A slick interchange of passes between Nick Willoughby and Dean L ewin resulted in Willoughby scoring out wide to make it 19-12.

However, the comeback was shor t lived as Wel l i n g t on adde d another try to take the half-time score to 24-12.

T he Wel l i n g t on Redbacks totally dominated the second half, the coaches using t hei r bi g adva nt a g e of numbers to rotate players which proved too much for the tiring K ookas, compou nded by the loss to Coona of Chapman and Calleija to injury.

The final score was 52 -12 t o Wel l i ng t on , who had scored eight tr ies a nd k icked si x conversions t o the Kookas’ two tries and one conversion.

The Kookas are now in sixth place, however, only three points sepa rat e fou r t e a ms fighting for third and fourth position in the semi-finals.

A defer red game between the Kookas and Guerie next Friday night in Dubbo will be vital.

A win for the Kookas would see them jump into third position and

they then f i n ish the second round with home games against Coolah and Trangie.

The Kookas are still very much in the competition and coaches Sam Clifton and Peter R e d d e n s t at e d t h e y need all players to be at training as they make a charge for a place in the semis!

Karate kicks off in Baradine Karate, one of the world’s most popular martial arts, is rapidly gaining popularity in Baradine.

by LIZ CUTTS Children and adults a re ro l l i n g u p to t h e tow n’s m em o r i a l ha l l each week to learn GoKan- Ryu (GKR) karate skills, a traditional Japanese style of selfd efe n ce t h a t fo s te r s p o s i t i ve va l u e s , s e l f confidence, discipline, focus and wellbeing.

Instructor, Peter Wilkie says GKR teaches not only how to punch and kick, it teaches students how to be a bet te r person.

“GKR i s not j ust a form of self-defence, it is a great exercise for all ages,” he explained.

“I star ted karate as therapy recommended by a doctor following a knee operation.

instructing for 15, said he is delighted with the communit y suppor t being received.

“Classes have really taken of f; we have students from four to 70 years old taking part,” Mr Wilkie said.

“I did not expect such enthusiasm from parents and kids.

Sheffield Shield young gun in Moree to open St Philomena’s cricket nets

By BILL POULOS

bill@moreeonlinenews.com.au

Sydney Thunder cricketer and Sheffield Shield player Oliver Davies was in Moree last week to officially open new cricket nets at St Philomena’s Catholic School.

After a special school assembly and tour of school grounds and facilities, Davies, school principal Simon Fleming, primary school captains Joseph Sullivan and Agnes Tighe, and school P&F members Mick Young and Scott Antees, cut the ribbon and declared the nets open.

Afterwards, one-hour coaching clinics were conducted for Years 7-10 and Years 3-6 students.

Davies, known widely as Ollie, is a former student at St Paul’s College in Manly.

He was named in the 2020 under-19s Cricket World Cup Australian squad and made his debut the following year for New South Wales in the one-day Marsh Cup. The 23-year-old top order batsman made his Twenty20 debut for Sydney Thunder four years ago and his first-class debut was launched in March last year for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield. He encourages kids of all ages to get involved in cricket, and sport in general.

“I was lucky enough to play junior cricket for Harbord Devils, which was my local suburb. It was awesome, playing on a Saturday morning,” Ollie said.

Cricket nets unveiled at St Philomena’s Continued from front page Ollie first picked up a cricket bat at the age of five.

“I started playing Kanga cricket with my older sister, and began playing more competitively when I turned 11; I made my way up through the ranks from there,” he said.

Ollie said a stand-out tournament during his early teens was the turning point in his fledgling career.

“When I was playing under-15s for New South Wales, I had a really good tournament. That’s when I thought I could potentially make a career out of this, and it all sort of worked itself out from there,” he said.

“At the moment, I think the most important thing is for kids to have fun, and the more kids we have playing the sport, the better it is. But, in terms of being more competitive, the best advice I can give, is to trust yourself. If you want to do something, just do it and back yourself in.

“Hopefully, I’ve inspired some of these kids. Even if it’s one kid, the day’s been worth it,” he smiled.

School principal Simon Fleming said after two floods, the existing cricket nets were in a state of disrepair.

The St Philomena’s P&F stepped in and shared funding with the school body to rebuild the facility and to also create a new multi-purpose court behind the Wiradjuri building.

Cricket has got a big following at primary school level and is developing at the secondary level and Moree has got a very strong junior cricket base.

ABOVE: St Philomena’s Catholic School students meet Sydney Thunder cricketer and Sheffield Shield player Oliver Davies.

“The surface had really deteriorated, so we tore down the old nets and replaced them. Everything is basically brand-new, including new concrete,” Mr Fleming said.

“Cricket has got a big following at primary school level and is developing at the secondary level and Moree has got a very strong junior cricket base.

“I see these nets as certainly something very worthwhile, not only for the school, but for the community and community-based sides to also use. I’m very grateful for the work Mick Young has done behind the scenes to get Ollie here. Ollie has been terrific with the kids and is a very good ambassador for The Thunder and NSW. “He’s doing a great job. I hope that continues with not only his cricket career, but with what he does for the community as well – he’s a great role model for all the kids,” Mr Fleming said.

Farmers reminded to check wage changes NSW Farmers is reminding employers that minimum award pay and superannuation rates have changed from Monday, July 1.

Employers with award-reliant employees were encouraged to review their staff pay rates to ensure they met the applicable minimum rates and conditions and had the relevant documentation in place for pay arrangements that deviate from the award terms.

As part of its Workplace Relations service to members, NSW Farmers publishes Rural Wage Guides for agriculture-related awards every year, so farmers can stay up-to-date on pay rates and impending changes in employment matters.

“Running a farm is no different to

running any other business, it’s important to stay up to date with these changes,” NSW Farmers Workplace Relations spokesman Chris Stillard said.

“Our professional workplace relations team is available to support and guide members with any employment-related matters they have including pay-related matters.

“No matter what industry you’re in, whether you’ve got one worker or 50, make sure you’re prepared.”

The 2024 NSW Farmers Rural Wage Guides are now available for members, outlining the superannuation increase to 11.5 per cent and increases to minimum wage standards, among a range of other guidance.

Wean Picnic Races off and racing Iconic picnic races set to return with fun theme of highland fling on July 13 The annual Wean Picnic Races are set to thrill, delight and entertain on July 13, with a six-race program and a fun theme of highland fling.

The races, which have been run for more than 90 years, are an iconic fixture in the region, an event that locals and tourists alike have marked in their calendar every year.

There will be fashions on the field, children’s activities, face painting, live music, a Calcutta, a bar, TAB facilities, delicious catering from local vendors and of course, high quality racing.

Wean Amateur Picnic Race Club secretary Laura Hall-Smith said that punters from not only across NSW, but interstate are expected to attend.

“We are expecting a large turn out this year,” Ms Hall-Smith said.

“I have been receiving messages from people in Sydney, Queensland and along the east coast not only asking about race day particulars, but also after accommodation recommendations and other local attractions.

“Wean truly is a fantastic event for the region, and I am so proud that we can attract people from all over to come and not only enjoy a day at the races, but everything else this wonderful region has to offer.”

Wean Amateur Picnic Race Club president Robert Groth said this year marks the 91st year of the races.

“Wean is very historical for our district,” Mr Groth said.

“I am looking forward to seeing everyone out there and enjoying another great day of fun and racing.”

Ms Hall-Smith expressed huge gratitude to the numerous local sponsors.

“Without sponsors, this event would not be able to run,” she said.

“We are humbled, grateful and extremely appreciative of their generosity.”

Wean Amateur Picnic Race Club was also successful in obtaining a grant from Narrabri Shire Council for $8352.23 to help cover race costs, which has been a huge boost for the club.

“After drought, COVID and then last year’s race day having to be changed at the eleventh hour, it has been tough for the club,” Ms Hall-Smith said.

“To be successful in a grant of this magnitude has been incredible and has allowed us to ensure we can host the best day possible.”

No race day is complete without fashions on the field, and this year’s fashions are sure to be as popular as ever, with a fun theme of highland fling, so come decked out in your finest tartan. Fashions on the Field convenor Kylie Finlay said she is looking forward to a great day.

“Fashions on the Field will have all of the classic race wear categories, as well as the theme categories,” Mrs Finlay said.

“The theme this year is highland fling, which we will set to highland bagpipers, which is going to be a lot of fun. There are prizes for all ages and categories, including children. We are grateful for the

fashions on the field sponsors, The Railway Hotel Gunnedah, Courthouse Hotel Gunnedah and Northwest Helicopters.”

Gates open at 9:30am, with the first race scheduled to commence at approximately noon.

The Courthouse Hotel Gunnedah, the Boggabri RSL Club, the Commercial Hotel Boggabri, The Narrabri Jockey Club and the Railway Hotel Baan Baa are all running buses to and from

the event, with race day attendees required to contact the establishments to pre book a seat on a bus.

Entry is $25 for adults, $15 for aged pensioners and 12–17-year-olds with under 12s entering for free.

The event is strictly no BYO. Entry payment is cash only, so it is recommended to bring cash on the day. For any further information, please email weanraces@ gmail.com

COMMENT

Time for Meta to face the music and pay its dues

By ANDREW SCHREYER, PRESIDENT, COUNTRY PRESS AUSTRALIA

Last month, Country Press Australia (CPA) – the largest representative association of newspaper publishers in Australia, appeared before a joint hearing in Canberra into social media and its impacts on Australian society.

The hearing was convened out of concerns about the negative impacts social media platforms have upon our community, including the recent decision by Meta to no longer pay news publishers for content posted to the company’s platforms.

That announcement has been met with anger, frustration, disappointment, worry and concern among news publishers, and the news industry shares the concerns of the broader community over Meta’s outrageous behaviour that has had such a damaging impact on so many sections of the community.

Facebook particularly has evolved into an antisocial entity that has provided a haven for toxicity, fake news, scams, blackmail, cyberbullying, doxing, revenge porn, trolling, deep fakes, political interference, surveillance capitalism and the spread of mis and disinformation that has caused so much damage within our communities.

The live streaming of massacres, images of unrealistic so-called beautiful people and conspiracies are also part and parcel of social media today.

In the case of the news industry, Communications Minister Michelle Rowland has said Meta’s decision to no longer pay for news content in a number of

jurisdictions “represents a dereliction of its commitment to the sustainability of Australian news media,” a comment CPA endorses wholeheartedly.

Meta has shown complete disdain for Australian media outlets, the News Media Bargaining Code and the Australian Government by announcing its intention not to renew agreements with publishers.

Meta has been deemed an unavoidable trading partner, and as such, is expected to conform to the same standards and expectations as the rest of us.

In short, we believe Meta fails to meet those standards, and that the company long ago ceased to be just a provider of social media platforms.

Just last month, the US Surgeon General called for social media to have warnings attached to it over mental health concerns for users.

It’s one of the great paradoxes of our time that rather than tackle unacceptable elements and accept responsibility for the damage caused by providing the habitat for such scornful matter, Meta has instead opted to diminish the presence of the real news and of truth by continually adjusting its algorithms and rendering public interest news content more and more difficult to find.

The federal government has the News Media Bargaining Code at its disposal, a mechanism established to ensure social media platforms can be held to account and that media organisations are treated fairly in their dealings with the social media giants.

Should the government designate Meta under the Code, the company is likely to block news

sites from its platforms just as it has done in Canada.

And in that country, it’s been regional and rural publishers who have been negatively impacted the most.

In this instance we encourage the government to insert a ‘must carry news’ clause in the code forcing them to negotiate with publishers or impose a 20 per cent tax on Meta’s Australian revenue.

Proceeds from the tax can be used for mental health programs to assist young people negatively impacted by social media, and a component distributed to publishers as compensation for Meta’s use of their content.

If Meta refuses, they should be banned from Australia. Meta is a publisher just like our members; however, their platforms are not subject to laws including defamation and contempt of court, editorial standards and regulatory frameworks.

If they were, I would not need to write this opinion piece and there would be a lot less social harm and mental health issues in our community today.

Meta’s Facebook has little, if any, checking mechanism prior to content and comments being published. Its algorithms serve up content based on popularity regardless of what may be appropriate for the audience.

It has no transparent complaints process, is not held to account in any way and isn’t required to respond to complaints.

It’s one thing to rip billions of dollars out of our economy, but the social, mental and physical damage caused by what is allowed to prosper on Meta’s platforms takes things to another level.

Regretful closure of dry cleaning business The Namoi Dry Cleaners, Narrabri, has closed following the lease not being renewed as the owner of the heritage listed Faulkner’s building is intending to redevelop the site.

The former Faulkner’s Cordial factory has been the home of the Namoi Dry Cleaners since 2008.

The business serviced Narrabri and the broader area with agents in Moree, Coonabarabran and Boggabri for dry cleaning and laundry services.

The business has been owned

by Bill Wood and Annie Moody since 2020 with a key team of valued staff working in the business.

Bill said they were keen to carry

on providing the service to Narrabri, but the cost of moving to a new location and setting up the infrastructure was significant.

“In combination with other cost increases that are occurring, it did not make sense financially to invest the money to move to a new site”, Bill said.

“It has been a hard decision to make as Narrabri has had a dry cleaner for nearly 100 years.

“Like most businesses, we can’t just keep putting up our prices as people can’t afford it.

“With the increases we’ve seen in costs for electricity, insurance, fuel and wages, unfortunately the numbers just didn’t add up.

Bill said that he and Annie have been very appreciative of the assistance that they received from local tradesmen, real estate agents and the staff at the Narrabri Shire Council who provided advice to help find alternative premises.

Bill said he has been speaking with colleagues in the laundry and dry cleaning industry to encourage others to consider providing an ongoing service to Narrabri.

CPA executive director Peter Kennedy, committee chair Kate Thwaites MP and CPA president Andrew Schreyer.

We believe that as a corporate citizen, Meta has a responsibility to do what is right, just as we as publishers do.

Meta’s commercialisation of the negativity it allows to fester on its platforms is a scourge upon that company and has created significant hardship and misery for many Australians.

To suit its narrative and justify its agenda, Meta claims its users don’t go to Facebook for news, however the University of Canberra’s Digital News Report: Australia 2024 released in June found that 49 per cent of Australian users of Facebook use it for news and one in four rely on it as their main source of news – our trusted, independent and professionally written news Meta no longer wants to pay for.

The digital news report shows this year, there was actually a surge among young people turning to social media to get news.

Sixty per cent of Gen Z say social media is their main source of news, a 17-percentage point increase on last year. In line with the increase in the use of social media platforms for news, concern about what is real and what is fake on the internet has skyrocketed to 75 per cent.

This is an increase of 11 percentage points in the past two years and echoes an increase in the global rise of six percentage points over the same period.

It suits Meta to claim Australians don’t use the company’s platforms to read the news and for it to be allowed to continue to ride roughshod over our communities.

But it suits the rest of us for Meta to be held to account.

WILD WINTER ACTIVITIES AT DUBBO ZOO of his new home, much to the delight of our guests who have observed him busily foraging for yabbies and mealworms.”

Dig out your warm clothing and experience a wild winter these school holidays at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.

Platypus Rescue HQ is the world’s largest, purposebuilt platypus rescue facility consisting of a refuge that can house up to 65 rescued platypus in times of need, as well as a dedicated research centre.

“At this new facility, guests can take a peek at conservation in action through large viewing windows into to the refuge,” Steve said.

There’s so much to see and do, including the all-new Platypus Rescue HQ where guests can see a platypus for the first time in the Zoo’s history.

“Platypus Rescue HQ officially opened in February this year and resident male Platypus, Mackenzie, has well and truly settled into his new habitat after moving from Taronga Zoo Sydney,” Director Steve Hinks said.

“Mackenzie is certainly the highlight of Platypus Rescue HQ. The 23-year-old male has explored every nook and cranny

“Located just opposite our Wildlife Hospital, this part of the zoo is now a really special place dedicated to our animal care and conservation endeavours.

We’re absolutely thrilled that our guests can see and experience both of these new facilities.”

The Taronga Wildlife Hospital Dubbo officially opened in December 2022. Here, guests have the opportunity to see and observe the Zoo’s vets and nurses as they provide treatment and care to all of the animals that call the Zoo home, as well

as over 500 wildlife cases annually.

“Prior to the hospital development, all of this work happened behind the scenes.

Now guests can sit and watch the team in action treating all creatures great and small, from a tiny turtle or lizard through to a lion!

Guests can also venture into the lion’s den on board Lion Pride Lands Patrol, for a closer look at the growing pride including three cubs.

“The aviary at the Wildlife Hospital is now also home to the Regent Honeyeater.

Guests can now see, hear and learn more about this critically endangered native bird species here.”

In addition to these new experiences, this winter guests can experience 12 daily keeper activities as they explore the 5.5km zoo circuit plus meandering paths and trails.

For the ultimate adventure, guests can book a stay at one of the Zoo’s three unique overnight experiences. There’s Zoofari Lodge, an Africanstyle safari with tented lodge accommodation overlooking giraffe, zebras and white rhinos. The Savannah Cabins offer self contained accommodation and Billabong Camp offers an Aussie bush camping experience.

“Keeper activities are a great way for our guests to see the animals at feeding time, and to hear from the keepers who look after them,” Steve said.

“From Asian elephants to meerkats, tigers and platypus, there’s so many interesting and diverse activities scheduled across the day, included in the cost of zoo entry.”

For those seeking a more immersive experience, there will be a range of behind-the-
