COONABARABRAN – THE ASTRONOMY CAPITAL OF AUSTRALIA

Australia Day fun FULL COVERAGE INSIDE

Water, ice and air-conditioning kept everyone cool before the afternoon storm in Coonabarabran on Australia Day.

by CHRIS WARD There were several ways for residents to beat the heat on Australia Day. Ear ly morning bowlers got their game in at the Coonabarabran Bowling Club before heading back into the air-conditioning to cool down, along with a few cold drinks, before the heat of the day set in.

Later that afternoon a great crowd came together at the Coonabarabran Golf Club for the traditional slip ‘n slide action.

More than 30 youngsters and the young at hea r t were lined up for a turn at any one time fo r the traditional event.

A free barbecue and ice slushies were also on offer.

Many residents and fam i l ies at tended the Coonabarabran Swimming Po o l fo r t h e a f te r n o o n

session, taking advantage of the free entry in a bid to beat the heat.

Things cooled down later in the evening as Mother Nature came through with a welcome storm that rolled through town.

Zoe H o l co m be, f ro m the Coonabarabran Golf Cl ub, sa id the Aus t ra l ia Day activities went to plan, despite the late storm.

“It was a really great day.

Everyone had a lot of fun and the slide was massively popular,” she said.

“The line up for that at one point was huge.

“The whole day ran very smoothly.

“It was only the stor m that came through in the last hour that disrupted the awards ceremony a bit, but we just moved everything inside.

“Other than that it was a great day!”

The Coonabarabran Golf Club’s slip ‘n slide was a popular way to cool off on Australia Day.

What is the Indigenous Voice to Parliament?

You may have heard a lot about the Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the news recently and the Albanese government’s proposed referendum, but what exactly is it and what does it mean for the future?

by JIMMY WHALAN The Indigenous Voice t o Pa rl iament came about a fter the U lur u Statement from the Heart, written by First Nations leaders requesti ng a n Indigenous voice, was put to parliament in 2017.

T he voice is a body representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, allowing them to have a voice regarding laws and policies that affect them.

The Uluru Statement from the Heart requested that this be written into Australia’s constitution.

T h i s ch a n ge t o t he Australian constitution ca n on ly be made v ia a referendum in which Australian voters will

answer the question. ‘ Do you support a n a lt eration t o the constitution that establishes an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice?’

The Albanese government plans to hold the referendum later this year.

S ome have ta ken issue with the proposed referendum as it provides few details as to what t he I nd i g enou s Voi c e t o P a rl i a m e nt w o u l d actually look like, and voters will not be asked about a specific proposal but rather, if they would support the principle of adding the voice.

Ultimately, the function of the Voice to Parliament wou ld be de cided by

parliament, making it a very heated issue, with opposition leader Peter Dutton stating that the Albanese government is making a “catastrophic mistake” by not providing any specific details about the voice and that this lack of detail will cause the referendum to fail.

However, P r ime Minister A nthony A lbanese said that prov id i ng a n overly det a i led model of the voice was avoided to give the referendum a better chance at succeeding.

He argued that with a large list of details, voters who disagree with just one point might decide to vote ‘no’, even though they might agree with many of the other points.

While the exact model of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament remains undecided, it has been proposed that it would be a system of local and regional voices as well as a national voice to make sure all F irst Nations people have their say on issues that affect them.

In this proposed model, the National Voice would be comprised of 24 members: two from each state/territory, two from the Torres Strait Islands, and six others representing remote communities and Torres Strait Islander people living in mainland Australia.

This is the first time Australians will be voting to change our constitution since the 1999 referendum

t o ma ke Austra l ia a republic.

A recent survey conducted by the Uluru Dialogue has found that there is an overwhelming national support for an

A limited rodent population could be the silver lining to recent heavy rain.

by CHRIS WARD Mice numbers in the Warrumbungle Shire are not expected to build too high in the coming months, due to the rain that has fallen in the region.

Stephen Henry, from the CSIRO, said he wasn’t too concerned about numbers thanks to the rain filling burrows and drowning many litters.

W hile confident nu mbers wou ld n’t get too high, Mr Henry said there were factors that could affect the rodent population.

“ T here was so much grain left behind at the end of the latest harvest, which provides food and shelter for mice,” he said. “ S o the concer n is between now and autumn, i f t he c o nd it io n s a r e favourable, breeding could increase.

“But, hopefully, there’s not enough time for them to breed to high numbers because they won’t breed in winter.”

Mr Henry urged farmers to continue to look for signs of activity.

He said to be prepared to bait as crops are sown in

autumn. “ The key message at the moment is to manage your stubble and if you have livestock, allow them to graze on the stubble to reduce the amount of grain,” he explained.

“Spray out germinations through summer time and bait the crop with 50 gram baits.”

Mr Henry said using 50 gram baits ensures every grain is a lethal dose.

“If they don’t consume a lethal dose they won’t take the bait again,” Mr Henry warned.

He urged urban

residents to use traps and other preventative measures if they notice mice numbers increasing.

“If you use baits there is a big chance of secondhand poisoning for pets,” he said. “ If you do use baits, secure them so they can’t be carried around, and clean up any dead rodents straight away.

“Otherwise, it’s best to use traps; make sure any holes in your home are filled in with steel wool and don’t leave food scraps or dog food out and uncovered.”

Government scraps referendum printing The Federal Government has decided to scrap the printing of information pamphlets relating to the upcoming Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum; a decision that has attracted much criticism.

by JIMMY WHALAN

The printing of these pamphlets would have been the largest print job of 2023, going to 9.3 million households across Australia.

These information pamphlets had been a requirement for previous referendums to provide an overview of the procedure of the referendum, as well as providing detailed arguments for both sides; ‘yes’ and ‘no’.

The government’s decision to scrap this print job has caused much public opposition as people argue the lack of governmentprovided information will lead the public to source their information online and from social media, which may not provide the

same factual information as the pamphlet would.

The decision has also sparked criticism from the print industry, as the information pamphlets would have been a great support to the industry.

Print and Visual Communication Association CEO, Kellie Northwood said that the government’s decision to drop the pamphlet makes no sense “[This] will be an especially poor outcome given that the most digitally-excluded demographic in the country is the Indigenous population,” Ms Northwood said.

“Why on earth would the government leave them to digital information that they don’t have access to?”

The Australian Human

Rights Commission is also opposed to the decision as they stated that if it were to be printed, the pamphlet would guarantee voters receive information for and against the Voice to Parliament in one document, allowing for voters to compare the options and make a wellrounded decision.

The Federal Government has since announced that it would give new powers to the Australian Communications and Media Authority in an attempt to prevent online disinformation.

This means that there will soon be an enforceable standard for both online search engines and social media platforms to combat issues relating to the spreading of false information.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com

I was most disappointed when read i ng ‘ To ole’s Visit O vershadowed

by C SG Opponents’ (Coonabarabran Times 27 January 2023) that the comments of the Deputy P r em ie r a b o ut a g a s shortage were reported, but were not fact checked.

There is no gas shortage in NSW. Consumers are being held to ransom by the gas producers selling ga s over se a s (wh ich has become even more pr of it a ble due t o t he Ukraine conflict), while

jacking up prices in NSW t o cover the supposed ‘crisis’.

This month’s Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC ) rolling repor t ( https: //w w w.ac cc.gov. au/system/files/Gas%20 Inquiry%20-%20 Ja nu a r y % 2 0 2 0 2 3 % 2 0 interim%20report_1.pdf) into the behaviour of gas a nd energ y pr oducers shows quite clearly from 2017 to 2022, a year-onyear net reduction of sales to NSW domestic market,

with no corresponding drop in production.

In that report, under the heading ‘1.2.2. The LNG producers have available capacity to avert a shortfall’ is the paragraph, “ The LNG producers and their associates influence close to 90% of 2P reserves in the east coast market. This provides these producers with the present available capacity to supply the east coast shortfall, but they have the ability and incentive to divert that gas into more profitable export

markets”.

Mr Toole might think he can pull the wool over the eyes of the people of this shire, but he and the NSW Liberal and National Party are wrong. It’s time to get out of gas, change your stove over to electric if you can, and keep the pressure on so we do not lose an amazing unique piece of Australia that is Billarga.

Yours etc., Allison Reynolds Dandry 2357 (29.01.2023)

In a controversial move, the Federal Government has scrapped the printing of information pamphlets relating to the upcoming Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.

Australia Day Ambassador applauds the Aussie spirit It is not easy for Ron Delezio to talk about the time when his daughter, Sophie suffered horrific injuries when a car crashed into her day care centre resulting in the amputation of her legs, her right hand and ear and burns to more than 85 per cent of her body.

by LIZ CUTTS When the Australia Day ambassador to the northern end of the Warrumbungle Shire, Ron Delezio delivered his address to the communities of Baradine, Coonabarabran and Binnaway on Thursday, 26 January, he shared his heart-rending story of family tragedy and spoke of his admiration for the spirit and strength found in rural communities.

“It is always a pleasure to come out to rural and remote areas and see the tightness of communities and how people care for one another,” Mr Delezio said.

“I feel that more people from the cities should come to the country and learn more about taking care of each other.

“On Australia Day 2023, we reflect on our past, accept the truth about history and respect that we all have a contribution to make to the story of Australia. We celebrate being part of our diverse and multi-nation country and reflect on being

surrounded by friends, family and our community; it is a day to respect the return of simple pleasures that have been hard earned.

“We reflect on the resilience of our communities, the united rolling up our sleeves, to help others in need, in overcoming all challenges that may come. This is what defines the Australian spirit. This is a day when we celebrate the simple act of being together, when we respect personal stories, the histories and the contributions of fellow Australians. Now, let me tell you something of my story.

“My father and mother are Maltese; my father came out here from Malta in 1950 by himself. He left his wife, my mother and my two older brothers in Malta for around a year. He had the choice of England, America, Canada and Australia. He picked Australia, thank goodness, otherwise I’d be speaking with an American accent!

He came to Australia not knowing anyone and he slept on a friend’s kitchen

table for over six months before he could afford to rent a place for himself and earn enough money to bring his family out here. I don’t think I would have the courage to do that and be separated from my family for a year.

Accident “In December 2003, I had a beautiful wife, two gorgeous children and a successful business. On 15 December I received a call from the police to say that there had been a terrible accident at the day-care centre, where children were waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

Sophie was two, just a baby at the time. We got a police escort to Royal North Shore Hospital where we had a four-hour wait until the doctor came and said we could see our daughter. He said he had to prepare us and that we should imagine that she has trodden on a landmine in a war zone. We had no idea what this man was talking about; how could he mean our daughter?

“When we went in we found Sophie on life support and the hospital

telling us that they could not do much for her. They said they had a helicopter ready to take her to the children’s hospital, but they did not expect her to survive the trip. At this point, my wife Carolyn had a spasm in her right side, so she was admitted to a hospital nearby. It was one of the worst times of my life; my wife, maybe having a stroke and my daughter being operated on and possibly not surviving.

“During the first nine days in ICU, five children died. It was really hard to see a child in the next bed being carried away and the instruments flatlining. We could not help but wonder if Sophie was going to be next.

“We spent the next three months virtually living in the ICU. During the first five, we were asked twice if we wanted to turn Sophie’s life support machine off and let her pass. I think it helped us that we believe in God and Mary McKillop.

We said to Sophie, ‘if you find it too hard, just let go and we would understand’.

But she is a real fighter and she’s still with us now,

of course.

“The countless operations Sophie had to undergo led to my depression. There were operations virtually every second day that went on for almost four months before the doctors told us that she was going to survive. It’s a long time to spend every minute of every day wondering whether it was going to be the last time we would see Sophie.

“It was also very hard for our four-yearold son Mitchell. When we explained to him that Sophie had lost her legs; he told us not to worry that they would grow back just like a lizard! We had to tell him the truth and then he was too scared to even touch the bed in case he hurt his sister.

Miracles “We witnessed miracles by tireless Australian doctors and nurses who tried ground-breaking procedures that had never been done before and thinking outside the square to save our daughter’s life. Over 85 per cent of Sophie’s body was affected by third degree burns and, in some areas, right down to the bone.

They used processes to spray on skin cells and they grew skin from samples of Sophie’s skin. It

took around five weeks to grow about a metre of skin and it was so thin. After six and a half months, we were able to leave the hospital.”

Mr Delezio said the family received overwhelming support for Sophie from the medical profession and members of the public. In 2004 Ron and Carolyn started the Day of Difference Foundation, to help raise awareness of the victims of traumatic accidents and the treatment they receive.

Then, in 2006, their lives were turned upside down again when Sophie was hit by a car, receiving nearfatal injuries.

“We could not believe it,” continued Mr Delezio.

“Sophie received nine broken ribs, punctured lungs, broken jaw, broken collarbone and a brain injury. Again, the Australian community rallied behind Sophie and our family with prayers and urgently needed blood supplies. But we never felt alone because of the Australian spirit. The same Aussie spirit one learned about at school when the ANZACs went to fight overseas, stood by their mates and risked their lives to save others. It is still very relevant today.

“I conclude with an update on my daughter

Sophie. She is now 21 years of age now, she has a boyfriend and she just returned from nine months travelling the world. All we want is for Sophie to be happy and have some normality in life. She struggles so hard and she deserves every bit of happiness.

“I have now taken over Sophie’s previous job as a support worker for people with intellectual disabilities. They don’t want to be disabled, they don’t want to be where they are; there are a lot of sad stories. They are fellow Australians and deserve to be treated as human beings and it is such a privilege for me to be working with them.

“I encourage everyone to reflect on their own story.

We have all got stories that mean something to us and we should respect and listen to the stories of others. It is important to listen to other people, to check on them and see if they are okay, because you never know, they could be suffering from depression.

All we want people to do is to take care of each other and just ask, are you okay?

Let them know that other people do care.

“Celebrate with people around you, because we are all collectively a part of one Australian story.”

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • The Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) remained stable this week with yardings softening.

• Thursday’s public holiday reduced sheep and lamb yardings significantly with Wagga Wagga sales not occurring • Cattle, sheep and lamb slaughter coming in at much higher levels year-on-year Cattle The Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) had a relatively stable week after significant softening from pre-Christmas prices to 781.39¢/kg carcase weight (cwt). The Western Young Cattle Indicator (WYCI) currently sits at a premium in comparison to the EYCI at 857.25¢/ kg cwt.

Cattle yardings had reduced numbers this week with 22,700 head reaching the saleyards. Roma yardings have softened 500 head week-on-week to 3,300. However, demand and prices for heavier steers and heifers remains strong at the saleyard.

Heavy grown steer and bullock prices held firm at the Dalby saleyards with

an increase of its yardings by 915 head with buyers willing to pay premiums for better quality stock.

Dubbo saleyards held 36 per cent of all sales and were the largest contributor to the Heavy Steer Indicator. However, prices at the saleyard have softened, placing pricing pressure on the indicator.

Restocker yearling heifer prices improved 40¢ week-on-week with Roma the largest contributor of all sales at 24%.

Sheep Thursday’s public holiday meant some sales did not go ahead and yardings were reduced.

Wagga Wagga did not hold a sale, which led to a large reduction in the numbers of yardings.

Last week Wagga Wagga yarded 53,000 head, which was a major contribution to the weekly yardings.

As a result, this week’s numbers were back 51%.

Heavy lambs have strengthened 17¢ weekon-week at 810.88¢/ kg cwt and throughput has decreased by 10,000 head. Forbes salesyards contributed 11% of the throughput and improved prices for heavy lambs by 27¢ at the saleyard.

Yardings at Forbes were reduced by 1,750 head but lambs yardings improved by 1,000 head. This indicates that producers are preferencing selling of their lambs to make better profits.

Slaughter Despite some processors

remaining offline, slaughter from last week increased significantly with cattle slaughter reaching 99,206 head. This is 21% above last week and 37% above 2022 levels.

Sheep and lamb slaughter strengthened this week, lifting 12,797 and 23,436 head respectively. Sheep slaughter numbers have seen an increase of 68% year-on-year and are much higher than this time last year.

Goat slaughter only improved 4% week-onweek, below the very high levels seen at the beginning of last year. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2023

temperature and biodiversity, and later to check in against the initial data.

erosion and attract native birdlife.

Through their willingness to embrace extracur r icular activities these students have demonstrated their commitment to protecting our local natural environment.

COMMUNITY EVENT OF THE YEAR 2022 BARADINE DEBUTANTE BALL

The 2022 Baradine Debutante Ball was a resounding success, leaving the 14 debutantes and their partners with a lifetime of memories.

More than 300 people attended the glittering gala fundraiser organised by the Baradine Hospital Auxiliary and held at the Baradine Memorial

Hall on Saturday, 9 April 2022.

The event had not been held for four years due to COVID-19 and this year the notfor-profit group of volunteers pulled out all stops to ensure a memorable event for the debs, partners and families.

Over $13,000 was raised to purchase

items for the benefit and comfort of patients and agedcare residents at the Baradine MultiPurpose Health Services Centre.

The deb ball is truly a country tradition and it was great to see it being carried on by this team of hard working and dedicated volunteers.

Organising a deb ball of this magnitude is a mammoth task for a small committee, including the weekly dance rehearsals and handmade hall decorations.

The Baradine Hospital Auxiliary members are commended for their commitment to this fundraising event.

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton presents Coonabarabran High School Year 10 enviro-scientist Baradine Hospital Auxiliary members Chris Munge and Bernie Underwood were congratulated on winning students with the Young Environmental Citizen of the Year award. the Warrumbungle Shire Community Event of the Year award by Australia Day ambassador, Ron Delezio.

Stephen Wallace has been rescuing wild and injured reptiles from around Coonabarabran for the past 20 years.

He has contributed a much-needed free service to Coonabarabran by safely removing, where possible, reptiles

from people’s homes and gardens. He has assisted with treatment of snake bite on pets on numerous occasions.

He has continued to demonstrate excellence in what began as a hobby as a child, and has now become a passion

to contribute to the safety of all. In addition, he has worked hard to keep up to date with research on reptiles, their habitats, behaviour, venom and the rehabilitation of injured reptiles.

Stephen has contributed to reptile safety through

lecturing groups on tour to the region, local schools, Cooinda, and the Girl Guides. In the process of expanding his experience with reptiles, he travelled to North East Arnhem Land on an expedition with Dr Gavin Bedford looking for the Oenpelli Python in 2012.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AWARD

As editor of the Coonabarabran Times, Kait Britton has overhauled its design, layout and content, adding a fresh and modern perspective to the newspaper.

In addition, Kait has created and edited the brand new ‘wattle’ magazine, specifically for ‘Stories from the Warrumbungles’. wattle hit the shelves in October 2022. It is a magazine

designed for long-form journalism, featuring stories of great interest on people, places and events across the local region.

Kait created the magazine from scratch. She organised writers, photographers, contributors, liaised with printers, advertisers and stockists. She identified stories worthy of inclusion, designed the layout, designed

all advertisements, edited copy and took photographs.

Kait chose the theme of ‘Resilience’ for her lovingly-created new magazine. As she wrote in her editor’s letter, ‘We’re bred tough out here. We tackle roadblocks with grit, optimism and selfdeprecating humour’.

Kait continues to embrace the ethos of a community newspaper, working

long hours to coordinate staff to produce a locallyoriented, professional news coverage that focuses on issues of relevance across the Warrumbungle Shire, while simultaneously raising a young family.

Coonabarabran is very proud of Kait’s achievements, and without a doubt we are all looking forward to the next edition of ‘wattle’.

Giving additional assistance with bags and packing was never a problem for him.

Gillian Tighe is being recognised for the creativity and innovation in her personal project to decorate the Coonabarabran CBD at Christmas time.

Gillian began this three years ago, and despite some initial disappointments caused by vandalism, Gillian did not give up, instead relocating and recreating the damaged displays.

She approached local businesses for donations to support this venture, using the money to purchase materials. She spent many hours designing and assembling the various decorations and planning where they would be positioned. This year, she organised the Men’s Shed to build the stands for the light boxes that were displayed in front of

the Court House.

Gillian approached business houses about decorating their windows with locallypurchased lights.

She even offered to hang them herself if required. Many shop owners responded with enthusiasm, and as a result our little main street looked amazing for the weeks before Christmas. The positive community spirit that resulted,

though hard to quantify, was genuine and valuable.

Gillian has been battling serious health issues and the past two years she has coordinated her decorating around her treatments. She has a couple of loyal elves who help to put up and take down the decorations, but she is clearly the force and the creative spirit behind the initiative.

Bypass bypassed and NSW healthcare still in crisis Warrumbungle Shire residents were hopeful a visit from the NSW deputy premier would bring good news, but it seems any possible change to roads and healthcare will take place slowly.

by CHRIS WARD During his whirlwind v i s i t o n F r i d a y, 2 0 J a n u a r y, t h e d e p u t y pr em ier, Pau l To ole said the Coonabarabran by pa s s pr oje c t h ad n’t been ruled out; it had fallen down the list of priorities for the State Government.

He cited the responsibility of assisting the many NSW commu n ities that had been affected by f loods over the past year and a half.

Mr Toole said that the priority “…at the moment

is actually helping communities to recover from f loods; there is a lot of investment, there are a lot of contractors, there are a lot of council workers at the moment that are actually putting a focus into those roads that have been battered by the floods we’ve seen over the past 18 months. “ T hat’s our pr imar y focus right now, but it’s also ensur ing that we finish the work on the N e w e l l H i g hw ay a n d the work on the Oxley Highway and then these other projects will come i nt o pl ay a s we move forward.

“Currently, our focus is primarily on the Newell Highway; the upgrades a nd i nve stment we ’r e s e e i n g i n t he N ewe l l H i g hw ay. We ’ v e a l s o got the Oxley Highway that has got work being undertaken.

“The next major project is north of Coonabarabran and that’s going to be the intersection of the Newell and the Oxley Highway.

“Now that’s going to see a $40 million investment.

The planning and design for that is under way.”

Health crisis When Mr Toole add r e s s e d t he he a lt h crisis affecting rural and

regional NSW, he pinned the blame on the Federal Government, saying the current system needed an overhaul. “…w e k n o w t h a t some a reas a re a real challenge, but we also know that primary health care and GPs is primarily a responsibility of the Fe d e r a l G o v e r n me nt ; that is why I am pleased Br on n ie Taylor has been working with the Commonwea lth Government to try and address the issue of GP shortages,” Mr Toole said. “ We need the Commonwealth to reth i n k the way i n

wh ich they d ist r ibut e GPs across this state; we need them to expand the workforce out into regional communities. We need the Commonwealth G over nment t o step up her e a nd ac t u a l ly u nder st a nd t her e a r e people living in regional NSW and these people deserve access to GPs.” Mr Toole said he would like to see more work done a r ou nd t he ph a r mac y reform, wh ich he sa id has taken some pressure off of GPs. “That’s why we’ve had ph a r mac y r efor m a nd allowing pharmacies to do more now than they ever

had, because people have to wait several weeks to get in and see their local GP. Now wh at p e ople can do is, in a number of circumstances, is go to the local pharmacist and get medication prescribed to them, not having to wait to see a GP. “ I’d love to see more work happening in that spac e , but it ’s a s t ep in the right direction.

We ’r e w o rk i n g w it h the C ommonwea lth t o address this fundamental issue, which is a problem in regional communities which hasn’t been addressed.”

Another step Mr Toole

WORD

said he wanted to see ta ken to rel ieve the pressure on the health system was employ ing less locums that fly in and out of our communities and, instead, invest in health carers that want to take up the regional and rural lifestyle.

A further concern was pr ov id i n g key worker housing. “…there is a big focus at the moment around key worker housing a nd bu i ld i n g hou si n g i n t ho s e c om mu n it ie s to accommodate health workers,” Mr Toole said.

Spaghetti bol.

Google.

Rutter aims for Olympics A highly-motivated teenager is achieving athletic excellence and has his sights set firmly on Olympic glory in the future.

by CHRIS WARD C o on aba rabra n’s Kurt Rutter continues to dominate the athletics world, following a win at the recent NS W Combined Event Championships.

Held at Ca nb er r a’s Australian Institute of Sport on 14-15 January, Rutter put in an emphatic performance in the decathlon, throwing a personal best (PB) in shot put, close to a PB in discus and an exceptional

high jump to take out the event.

The win against other competitors from NSW and Canberra has seen him qua li f y for the Nationa ls i n Apr i l at Brisbane, where he will ta ke on the countr y ’s best.

It was a great ach ievement for the 16-year-old, who didn’t expect to do as well as he did. “ He had done a de cath lon fou r weeks pr ior in Br isbane. He

had such a short back-up he didn’t expect do to so well,” his mother, Tracy, said. “ If he keeps his t ra i n i ng up there’s a really good chance of meda l l i ng at the Nationals in April.”

The thought of that, and his ultimate goal of ma k ing the 2 032 Brisbane Olympics, has the teen as motivated as ever.

Rutter backed up the gruelling event in Canberra just four days later with an appearance at t he N S W C ou nt r y Athletic Championships in Dubbo last weekend.

T here he f in ished first in javelin, second in discus and third in shot put.

On top of that he was due to attend the Hunter Throws competition on Australia Day, where he again competed in the throwing disciplines. “ He just ca n’t keep still,” a bewildered Tracy said.

“He’s always training, he’s never sitting still.

“He doesn’t like to rest because he’s afraid he’ll lose it.

“I’ve never seen a kid as driven as him. He’s determined to make the Olympics.”

Paul Nies competes In other athletics news, another Coonabarabran resident also attended the championsh ips i n Dubbo last weekend, and made his own mark.

Paul Nies competed in the 60-69 years age group where he took out first place in high jump a nd d is cus a nd th i rd place in shot put.

Wellington horse being set for Country Championship We l l i n g t o n t r a i n e r Karen McCarroll i s p r e p a r i n g W hat abouts c otty for a possible start in the Country Championship Q u a l i f i e r at Mud g e e fol low i ng the re cent Bathurst meeting where the lightly-raced, fouryear-old scored a second successive win.

In the quest for a slice of the $15 0 ,0 0 0 pr i ze

money on offer, K aren has u nvei led a se cret weapon, her brother, the former champion jockey Greg Ryan who retired from race riding after a magnificent career which yielded over 4300 winners His retirement came after the Mudgee meeting on 4 December 2020 where he rode a winner, Without Sha me, for Ta mwor th trainer Sue Grills.

Nowadays, instead of climbing aboard a saddle, Greg Ryan is climbing trees to lop branches with a chainsaw, helping his son, Isaac Ryan, w ith his arborist business in Dubbo.

As a qualified mechanic before starting a jockey apprenticeship at age 25, Greg is also kept busy with maintenance and repairs of the trucks and other equipment used in the business.

“When Whataboutscotty sta r ted show i ng some promise I casually mentioned t o Greg he might like to have a look at the horse,” Karen said.

“In late December Greg

came over from Dubbo and after riding work, he forecast Whataboutscotty had good prospects.

“Since then, when he has ti me, Greg works the horse and offers his opinions as to the most suitable race distances and other knowledge from his vast experience.”

During his occasional visits Greg Ryan has also r idden work alongside Emily Stanley and assisted the youngster with improving her skills, as she hopes to eventually be c ome a n apprentice jockey like her brother, Dylan Stanley.

“A lt h o u g h h e l i k e s helping out, Greg makes it clear he has no intention to make a comeback as a jockey,” explained Karen McCarroll.

Before Whataboutscotty entered her stable, Karen had trained numerous handy gallopers including Huge Nu mb er, Sm a r t Attire and Lord Burghersh Leased to Karen McCarroll and her husband, Stephen McCa r rol l, by Peter

Resuming at Orange and with Dylan Stanley in the saddle, Whataboutscotty finished third in a field of 14 in a 1000 metres Maiden won by Life’s A Party.

St epped up t o 14 0 0 metres at Dubbo in early January, Whataboutscotty, as a $15 chance, was well ridden by Dylan Stanley and ran home strongly on the inside to beat the favourite, Call Me Louis.

Apprenticed to Wellington trainer Jim McMillan, Dylan Stanley, the son of former jockey a n d n o w We l l i n g t o n trainer Daniel Stanley, has ridden 13 winners including four at A lice Spr i ngs a nd Da r w i n during a short stay in the Northern Territory.

Awesome apprenticeship and WTC Group Aust Pty Ltd has a brilliant reputation when it comes to fostering future generations through apprenticeships and traineeships, and the local civil construction company is looking to add to its ranks by offering hands-on training to motivated and enthusiastic people.

In particular, WTC is looking to fill the worker shortage being experienced in the skilled trades space by equipping young people with the abilities needed to fulfill these roles.

So young people have a stable career path, and the region can continue to thrive.

As the winner of the 2022 Business Fostering Trainees/Apprentices category at the Whitehaven Coal Narrabri and District Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, the opportunity to undertake a traineeship or apprenticeship with WTC is highly attractive and one not to be missed.

“Being in this category is great recognition of how passionate we are about getting new people into our industry and trades,” said WTC managing director William Childs.

Mr Childs is a big advocate for giving the younger generation a chance, and he said it’s been an ongoing challenge keeping and enticing skilled workers in regional NSW. “It’s more important than ever to be championing our young people in this area.

“We need more people in the

industry and we believe traineeships and apprenticeships are the best way to learn while completing hands-on work.”

WTC’s well-known track record for supporting trainees and apprentices means current employees are keen to encourage others to apply for these positions.

“The most fulfilling part of it is at the end of a job when you can actually see what you’ve achieved,” said Caitlin Calleja, who is undertaking a Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations at WTC. “If you love machines, you will probably get the same fulfillment out of the job.”

Jayk Smith who is doing a Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations at WTC said it was a fun role and the most fulfilling aspect was when “the older and more experienced fellas tell me I’m doing a good job – that makes me proud.”

“I like learning new things and it’s good to get a trade, get outside and get your hands dirty,” added Brock Davies, who is undertaking Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology at WTC. “I like the problem-solving side of things,” said Ryan Fahey, who is undertaking a Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology.

Ryan urged people who “liked working outside, getting out of the office or school” to apply for an apprenticeship or traineeship.

Working at WTC also gives people experience in a range of

industries including agricultural, mining, and civil services, maintenance, and heavy haulage.

Sharing knowledge and offering guidance are traits synonymous with the way WTC operates, the company is committed to engaging young people and recently took part in the inaugural Namoi Jobs and Trades Show in Narrabri.

The event was a joint initiative of the Narrabri Industrial Network and Future EDU designed to promote the job and training

opportunities available to young people and the wider workforce.

Attendees including school students flocked to The Crossing Theatre to ask exhibitors like Mr Childs questions and see firsthand the machinery and technology which will drive job opportunities now and into the future.

The story behind WTC’s success and impressive expansion in Narrabri and Mudgee is inspiring and shows young country people what can be achieved through hard work, determination, and

passion.

Lisa and Will Childs built the company from the ground up after starting as a one-man operation with a single 623 elevated scraper in 2013.

The ‘one man’ was Narrabri’s Will Childs, who started his career as a plant operator and made his way up the ladder in a range of operational and supervisory roles across the country, gaining invaluable experience along the way.

WTC Group Aust Pty Ltd are passionate about engaging new people into the industry so we can foster a new generation of trades and services within the region.

We are always looking for motivated and enthusiastic people who are wanting to get a start in the industry and learn skills through hands on training.

traineeship positions at WTC Continued from page 2

As modernisation and technological advancements gained momentum in the agricultural industry, Mr Childs noticed a significant gap in Northern NSW for a locally operated company offering a customised service.

And from there, the WTC Group was born, and it keeps growing.

WTC does more than just ‘move dirt’, it’s a locally based civil construction company helping to build resilient regional communities, sponsoring community

events and one of the largest privately owned employers in the Narrabri region with more than 70 employees and a modern fleet of more than 50 machines.

The family owned and operated company’s drive to provide a personalised and tailored service to each customer, from the agricultural industry to mining, is what sets it apart from competitors.

The team at WTC believes there’s always room to grow and develop, striving to be the best by investing in WTC people.

Secure a stable career path at Max Orman Toyota Are you mad about motors?

Here’s a chance to secure a stable career path.

Max Orman Toyota is offering fantastic apprenticeship opportunities at its Narrabri and Wee Waa dealerships.

“It’s always good for young people to have a trade certificate, and there’ll never be a shortage of work in this industry,” said dealership principal Justin Orman.

The respected family business is looking for enthusiastic employees to undertake mechanic apprenticeships.

So, if you’re a car enthusiast, mad about motors and keen to learn new skills to develop a secure career path – then this is the perfect position.

The new apprentices will have access to a wealth of knowledge, sharing a workshop with qualified mechanics and a well-oiled team who’ve been in the industry for decades and have a terrific track record.

“We’ve been in business for 56 years; there’d be plenty of support, guidance and Toyota training too,” said Mr Orman.

“Toyota is such a good brand; it sells itself.”

The four-year apprenticeship involves study and practical experience in Tamworth, and applicants must be over the age of 16.

Mr Orman said it’s been brilliant to witness apprentices grow into their roles over the years, and he’d highly recommend pursuing a trade.

“We’ve seen young people go from washing cars to fitting an engine – it’s great.”

In addition to apprentice mechanics, Max Orman Toyota is seeking experienced people for sales, spare parts and technician positions.

The Orman name is a trusted brand across the Narrabri Shire and the family is also actively involved in the community and would encourage people from inside and outside the region to apply for the positions.

“We’re a thriving region; there’s plenty of growth and plenty of opportunities here,” said Mr Orman.

“From farming to mining and the Inland Rail.

“It’s a great place to live.”

Your North Western Guide to Apprenticeships & Training

February 2-8, 2023

Specialised Civil Services offering fantastic opportunities to kick-start your career today Specialised Civil Services is on the hunt for an apprentice and it’s an opportunity Tommy Nolan could not recommend highly enough.

“I love the variety of the job,” said the third year heavy vehicle diesel mechanic apprentice, who loves how no two days are ever the same at SCS. “I think that’s the best part about it, you’re always doing something different,” said Tommy.

“There’s so much you can learn and do, and so many different things you can work on.

“It’s a really satisfying job: you get to see something when it comes in broken, then you get to rebuild it, and then you see it go out the door – it’s always a good feeling when it’s ready to go out the door.”

Specialised Civil Services operations logistics manager Chris McClure said the Narrabri-based family-owned and operated civil construction company has a fantastic opportunity for a motivated school-leaver or young person looking to kick-start their career in the heavy diesel mechanic industry.

“We offer a permanent position on a lifestyle friendly Monday to Friday roster,” said Chris.

“It’s a family-owned earthmoving and haulage company, offering competitive hourly rates and a chance to learn lifelong skills and abilities.

“What you will learn through this job, you can apply to other walks and areas of life – anybody who learns how to work on machinery can work on anything.

“It’s a chance to learn about and work on a wide range of haulage trucks, prime movers and a large fleet of various earthmoving equipment including bulldozers, excavators and graders.”

Mr McClure said no experience is required but a keen and enthusiastic attitude is essential.

The successful applicant will also get to work alongside a professional team with a wealth of experience.

“There’s plenty of knowledge to

share here, they will be immersed in the environment and will learn a lot,” said Chris.

For Tommy Nolan, another highlight of the job is working in such a diverse region with traditional, new, and growing industries.

“There’s an endless amount of things that need to be worked on, especially with the way the world is going in terms of everything becoming electric,” said Tommy.

“It’s always changing, so you’re always learning something different because there’s always something that needs fixing.

“I like that it’s a challenge too – there’s a lot of problem solving, there’s no way around it but to fix it, you can’t just leave something and walk away from it.

“Every day there’s a challenge, so you need to work it out and get it going.”

Tommy said he would strongly encourage people to follow in his footsteps and apply to work as an apprentice in a very rewarding industry.

“It’s a big step up, and you can feel like you’re stepping out of your comfort zone but there are a lot of skills that you will come away with, it’s not just about being a mechanic – you will learn how to figure things out on your own and you will learn people skills too.”

Specialised Civil Services has been serving the community since 2002, and the 100 per cent Australian family-owned company is a big supporter of local charities, schools, sporting clubs and business. SCS offers a ranges of services including earthmoving and civil construction, machinery and labour hire, and heavy haulage with an impressive fleet of various prime movers, floats and transports.

Liam Hobden fights Freidrich’s Ataxia BAAN BAA

By NOREEN BOEHM

Liam Hobden is a lovable larrikin who gets around in his specially made walker while wearing a big smile despite the hand that he has been dealt.

Ten-year-old Liam, from Baan Baa, is the second child of Stacie and Luke Hobden.

Liam said he is 10 but turning 11 and loves science, maths and Minecraft.

Liam has an older sister Ella, two younger brothers, Lokie and Harley, and a lot of friends at the Boggabri Public School. Liam spent four years at Narrabri West Public School before moving to Boggabri Public School.

Liam has been diagnosed with the genetic disease Freidrich’s Ataxia, which is a relatively rare disease of the nervous system characterised by the gradual deterioration of nerve cells (neurones) in the spinal cord and brain causing loss of coordination.

Other symptoms include loss of balance, walking abnormalities, speech difficulties, swallowing problems, increased risk of respiratory infections, numbness, scoliosis, fatigue, and two out of three people will have associated heart problems called cardiomyopathy and unfortunately Liam is one of those people who has cardiomyopathy.

Friedreich’s Ataxia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both parents have one altered gene, but don’t exhibit any symptoms themselves, since they have a second healthy copy.

There is no cure, but some of the symptoms can be managed with medication, surgery and physical therapy.

Liam was nine-years and eight-months-old when diagnosed.

Stacie was pregnant with Harley and was talking to her sister-in-law who has a son who was born blind.

Her sister-in-law suggested looking into stem cell therapy overseas where they are travelling for Stacie’s nephew.

Stacie and Luke had met with a lot of doctors and specialists without getting any answers as to why Liam was having problems.

Luke said “Liam had a lot of trouble learning to ride a bike, and they didn’t know why.

“He seemed to start okay and then kept getting worse instead of better. Falling off, not coordinated.

“We didn’t know if he was being lazy or if something was wrong,” he said.

“We now know that the symptom of Ataxia prevents the messages passing smoothly between neurones and muscles, leading to poor coordination and movement.”

“I was having a look on Instagram on genetic testing and while scrolling I found Ataxia and the further, I scrolled the more I was saying to myself and Luke, that’s what Liam has,” Stacie said.

“I was devastated when I read that there was no cure. “It also said that one in four pregnancies results in Ataxia and here I was pregnant with Harley.”

“My pregnancy with Liam was natural and healthy, just normal.”

Stacie, Luke and Liam were tested with devastating results.

“I look around and see what the other kids are doing and what I did as a child. We take so much for granted.

“It’s distressing when a little boy can’t enjoy jumping on the trampoline, riding his bike, climbing trees, playing sport and will have a short life expectancy but we are trying to treat him as a normal boy in the family situation.”

Liam has had numerous blood tests, all sorts of scans and tests as well as seeing an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, speech therapist, neurologist, cardiologist, dietitian, audiologist and his general practitioner.

Liam has been accepted into a trial in Thailand for stem cell therapy.

The treatment is not available in Australia and Stacie said they don’t have a choice, they have to give their child every opportunity to lead a normal life or at least a life past

Securing state’s future food production a state election priority: NSW Farmers Securing the state’s future food production should be a critical focus for voters, according to NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin.

The state’s peak agricultural body launched its 2023 state election platform next to Parliament House on Monday, which outlined five key pillars for the growth and success of the people of NSW. Mr Martin said strong supply chains and resilient food and fibre production to keep food prices affordable would be critical for politicians, with polling revealing more than two-thirds of NSW voters saw the cost of food and groceries as their biggest concern.

“Today’s latest poll shows the majority of people are concerned by rising food prices,” Mr Martin said.

“Disjointed food supply chains or infrastructure and continued removal of productive water from farms is contributing to the rising cost of fresh food.

“This is what we’re focused on when we’re talking about a stronger future for farmers and for our state, making sure we can grow those healthy plants and healthy animals that people need and get them onto people’s plates in a timely and affordable way.

“Each of our five key pillars tackles a key issue facing farmers, and we’ve outlined some common-sense ideas about how to address them.”

About 135,000 people were employed in the state’s food and agribusiness sector, contributing $23.1 billion to the economy in the last year alone. And with 8.265 million consumers of food and fibre in NSW, Mr Martin said the agriculture sector needed policies to support growth and resilience, and strategic investment from government to meet the needs of businesses and communities.

“Sustainable and secure food and fibre production needs to be a priority for decision-makers,” Mr Martin said.

“It's not just flooding and COVID that impact food production and supply, it’s things like ageing infrastructure, water buybacks, the threat of various pest and disease incursions, and chronic worker shortages that all stand in the way of productivity.

“Meanwhile, the shift towards renewable energy generation and the drive to build more housing will require a balancing act to make sure we don’t sacrifice productive farm land in the pursuit of social and environmental outcomes, because once you build on that land it’s lost forever.”

The five key areas where collaboration between industry and the NSW government was essential to secure the future of farming and food in the state include road and rail infrastructure, biosecurity, farm productivity, workforce and land use pressures.

THE HOBDEN FAMILY: Liam, Luke, Ella, Lokie and Stacie nursing Harley at their Baan Baa home.

childhood.

To enable the family to participate they need to raise a significant amount of money to enable Stacie and Liam to travel to Thailand for the three-week admission to hospital for the stem cell therapy and specialist program.

The trial offers three options, six, seven and eight blocks and all vary in price and of course effectiveness and costs are in the vicinity of $55,000.

Friends and family are rallying and organising fundraising events such as a garage sale, colour run and a raffle.

Stacie said she appreciated all that is being planned.

“I’m happy for any help that anyone can give and hope that it covers

some of our costs, if we have to, we will have to sell our house in Narrabri,” she said.

Liam and his mum are hoping to travel to Thailand in October while Luke and the other three children keep the home fires burning.

Originally, they would have liked for Luke and Stacie to accompany Liam but they said with the other children needing to be looked after and the farm needing attention for three weeks it would be a big ask and they were not sure how the younger members of the family would cope with both mum and dad away for three weeks.

Stacie and Luke’s wish is for the community to be aware of this disease and to appreciate every day with their loved ones.

Funding boost for Moree Race Club MOREE Moree Race Club will be able to replace its 50-year-old amenities block thanks to funding from the NSW government.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall announced a $229,101 grant for the club to demolish and replace its current crumbling amenities block.

Mr Marshall said the ageing facilities were often stretched far beyond capacity at the club’s busy race meetings, forcing the club to fork out tens of thousands of dollars to hire portable toilets.

The amenities block has served the racing public well for half a century, but its useful life is now at an end,” Mr Marshall said.

“The ageing facilities simply cannot cope come race days with numerous blockages, leaks and other issues, costing the race club a fortune to repair. The club will use the grant to demolish the old facilities and construct a larger, modern and more comfortable amenities block in its place, which will be able to cope with thousands of patrons at the largest race meetings.

“This is more good news for the club and off the back of the recent completion of the $1.1 million refurbishment of the main grandstand, this year is shaping up to be one of the Moree Race Club’s biggest and best yet.

Funding has been secured from the state government to replace the crumbling 50-year-old amenities block at the Moree Race Club. Pictured, president Rob Mather, left, secretary Michelle Gobbert, Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall and treasurer Shane Taunton.

“These upgrades will give Moree Race Club the facilities it deserves and make the raceday experience at the track even more enjoyable for trainers, owners, punters, jockeys and other racing participants.

“Congratulations to the hard-working club president Rob Mather, secretary Michelle Gobbert and all the committee on chalking up another win.”

Moree Race Club president Rob

Mather welcomed the funding and said the club couldn’t wait to get on with the project.

“The old toilet block has been a long-running issue for our club and it’s great that we now have

the funds to remove it and build something better for our patrons,” he said. “We really appreciate the support from Adam and the state government and cannot wait to get started on this project.”

Page 11

STEP 1 Preheat oven to 150°C/130°C fan-forced.

Grease and line an 18cm x 28cm (3.5cm deep) lamington pan with baking paper.

STEP 2 Place egg whites into a bowl and beat until firm peaks form. Set aside. Place egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. Using electric beaters, whisk for 2 minutes until light and creamy. Add vanilla and melted butter and whisk for 1 minute until well combined.
