Baradine community outraged at town oval vandalism Baradine residents have expressed their profound disappointment over an unsightly act of vandalism at the town’s sports oval.

by LIZ CUTTS It is believed that the incident occurred early this year, when vandals defaced sections of the g ra ndsta nd w ith objectionable and overt graffiti images.

B a r ad i ne M a g pie s Football Club president, Adrian Worrell said he was deeply disheartened by the act of defacement and damage. “ Wa r r u mbu n g le Shire Council has worked hard to maintain and upgrade this vital r e c r eat ion a l a r ea i n ou r t ow n t o ma ke it more enjoyable for the community,” he said.

“So, to see it vandalised in this way is not only a waste of r a t e p a y e r s ’ m o n e y, but a l s o m a k e s t h e a rea u nsightly a nd unwelcoming.

“Graffiti vandalism is a crime. Estimating

the true cost of graffiti vandalism is difficult because many people do not report it. Now Council has to spend money cleaning up this unsightly mess when the money could have been better spent elsewhere. “ We a r e w o r k i n g closely with our local pol ice t o ramp up surveillance efforts to deter offenders, but we need the community to support us by reporting graffiti when they see it.

“Our club is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful sports’ environment for all, so let us come together to protect and preser ve this popula r local sporting space.”

A spokesperson for the Warrumbungle Shire Council said that Urban Services personnel will have to take time out of their busy work days to remove the extensive

graffiti vandalism.

“Removal of graffiti vandalism not only costs money and takes time; it disrupts work schedules and means that planned tasks that benefit the c o m mu n i t y s u c h a s mowing, emptying bins, cleaning the streets and tr imming trees have been delayed,” a Council spokesperson said. “ C o u n c i l pl a n s t o paint over the graffiti due to the volume of the vandalism, which will require the purchase of materials and the labour a s s o c i at e d w it h t he graffiti remediation.”

NSW police said there were some distinctive st yles a nd d raw i ngs that some one may recognise in the graffiti and they urge anyone w it h i n for m at ion t o contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or the local police.

The Baradine sports oval has been the target of vandals, with graffiti painted over facilities.

Vandals put Coona’s chess in check Due to ongoing vandalism, the giant chess pieces and their storage boxes will be removed from Little Timor Street Plaza in Coonabarabran.

Baradine residents have expressed their disappointment over the graffiti at the sports oval.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Cyclone Tracey I felt rather sad for all the service personnel who volunteered and gave up their leave to help clean up Darwin after Cyclone Tracey.

I could not locate any reference in the media to their service when the media announced that it was the 50th anniversary of Tracey – I was one of their number.

I had to return to Sydney in a packed RAAF

aircraft, arriving at around 0200 in pouring rain, then front up a 0700 to take my classes at HMAS Nirimba. It took almost two weeks to recover (as volunteers we did not expect nor were we reimbursed for the leave we gave up).

Yours etc., Graeme Giles Retired chief petty officer Coonabarabran 2357 (04.02.2025)

Editor’s note In last week’s letter to the editor from Mitchell Brain, he posed the pronunciation of “Dennykymine”, which he had noticed on a road sign between Dunedoo and Mendooran.

Mr Brain had contacted pubs in both Dunedoo and Mendooran, with patrons providing the pronunciation “Dun-carmine”.

Warrumbungle Shire Council has announced that the decision was made to protect the community space and ensure public safety.

The chess pieces, which have been a popular attraction for both locals and visitors, will be placed in storage until a secure alternative can be identified. In addition, the storage boxes will also be removed to prevent further damage.

Council has urged residents to remain vigilant and report any instances of theft or vandalism by contacting the Police Assistance Line at 131 444 or by lodging an Intentional Damage Report through the NSW Police Force Community Portal.

The community’s cooperation will help protect public amenities and ensure they can be enjoyed by everyone in the future.

Vandals have damaged the giant chess piece storage boxes at Coonabarabran’s Little Timor Street Plaza.

School of Rural Health welcomes new medical students The School of Rural Health has said it is excited to welcome the 2025 cohort of first-year medical students, who will undertake the University of Sydney’s entire four-year Doctor of Medicine program in Dubbo.

Ne a rly h a l f of t he 2025 first-year cohort come from the Western and Far West regions of NSW, representing commu n ities such as Orange, Dubbo, B r ewa r r i n a , B r oken Hill, Coonamble, Pa rke s , a nd Forb e s .

T hey j oi n a t ot a l o f 9 3 me d ic a l st udent s currently studying in the Dubbo Stream.

Among the first-year students are Central West locals Jonathon Toll, Savana Purss and Grace McRae. J o n at ho n g r ew up in Dubbo and has been working locally.

Witnessing the impact of limited healthcare services in rural areas, he was i nspi red t o become a doctor to make a lasting difference in rural communities. The Dubbo program offers a unique combination of a world-class medical education and the benefits of studying in a rural community. “ The immersive le a r n i n g e x p e r ie n c e and smaller cohort offer a great opportunity to train and develop into a medical professional in the bush,” Jonathon said.

“The overwhelmingly positive reviews from current and past students, and the community in general, a lso motivated me t o wa nt t o s t udy i n Dubbo.”

Orange local, Grace McRae echoed similar motivations. “ I had heard really good things about the D u bb o pr o g r a m a nd

T he University of Sydney,” Grace said.

“Being from the area I was really excited to be able to access a great program, without the need to go to the major cities. It’s great that I can spend the full four yea rs in the countr y and become one of the community.

“I also have family in

the area, so being closer to home while studying was really enticing.”

S ava n a P u r s s h a s been a d ietitia n at D ubbo Hospita l for the past three years.

While she has always been i nterested i n becoming a doctor, she was uncer ta i n about her chances, g iven the competitive entry

process.

“I am most excited to be studying in a town th at I a l r e ady k now and love. It’s been an extremely smooth and enc ou rag i ng pr o c ess to even apply to study med ic i ne i n D ubbo,” Savana said. “ I found the Dubbo School of Rural Health staff to be extremely

encourag ing towa rds local people, and this has made me feel very welcomed.”

Professor Catherine Hawke, Head of Clinical S chool said, “it’s wonderful to see so many students from ou r r eg ion pu r su i ng their dreams to become doctors and we can’t wait to see the impact

they will have – both as medical students and future doctors.”

Blown away by support When sister duo, Donna Ditchfield and Julia Baird, went through hell, they chose to give back to the place that gave them a reprieve and helped their family during one of their toughest times.

by MOLLY SHANNON T h e Wo r r e l l f a m i l y from Baradine has undergone months of uncer taint y and heartache, with Donna and Julia’s parents both diagnosed with cancer.

Caring for someone is difficult for anyone, but for the Worrell family it was particularly hard as they had to constantly travel, sometimes at a moment’s notice.

Finding a lastm i nute p lace to stay i s n e v e r e a s y, o n l y co m p o u n d ed by t h e added stress of a sick parent and leaving the farm and young family members at the last minute.

Enter Dubbo’s Macquarie Home Stay – a place fo r those who a re unwell and fo r thei r fam i l y and f r i end s, p rovid i ng an affordable and reliable accommodation o pt i o n fo r r u r a l a n d regional people.

For Donna and Julia, Macquarie Home Stay became a refuge during a chaotic time of thei r lives, offer ing s t a b i l i t y, c a r e a n d com m un it y i n a ti me w h e r e t h e r e w a s n’ t much on offer.

“It’s meant my sanity,” Donna said.

“The fact that Macquarie Home Stay is right there, it’s a really nice place to be, it’s a really nice space to be in.

“A n d e v e r y o n e i s the re fo r some k i nd of medical reason.

I t ’s a c o n n e c t i o n o f a n u n d e r s ta n d i n g at least.”

Well-supported While staying at t h e a cco m m o d at i o n d u r i n g h e r fat h e r’s treatment, Donna felt well-supported.

“I had this little support group of ladies w ho had been the re for quite a while…you k n o w t h e y ’d c o m e home and ask, ‘Okay, what’s happened today’ and ‘How a re you?’

“A couple of times, one of those ladies

would cook me dinner.”

The team at Macquarie Home Stay i s f l e x i b l e, k i n d a n d available to help, taking a personal approach to ensuring guests are comfortable.

The Home Stay i s also applicable for the Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation A ssistance Scheme (IPTAAS).

This State Government scheme provides f i nancia l as si s tance towa rds t ravel and accommodation costs when you are required to travel more than 100 kilometres one way or 2 0 0 km w ithin a week for specialised medical t reatment that i s not available locally.

Driven by donations M a c q u a r i e H o m e Sta y r e l i e s o n donations and funding to o p e ra te, d e r i v i n g from community groups, businesses, organisations and councils.

The Worrell family has been using the Home Stay for more than 18 months. “ O v e r t h e p a s t 18 months I have probably spent about three months there with M u m a n d D a d, b ot h w ith d if fe rent se r ious medical conditions, n u m e r o u s t i m e s ,” Donna said.

Her last visit was in D e ce m b e r l a s t ye a r, during a time when the H ome Stay wa s undergoing expansion a n d e d g i n g c l o s e to completion.

Donna spoke with the Home Stay organisers a n d d i s cove re d t h at two of the new rooms lacked sponsorship.

The idea to help out slowly evolved.

“So I was just talking and I asked, ‘Oh, how much are they?’, and he's like, ‘Well, there’s t wo different rooms – one is $30,000 and the other is $38,000’.”

I n i t i a l l y, r a i s i n g t h e m o n ey fe l t n e a r i m p o s s i b l e, b u t ove r time, Donna began to reconsider.

“I was in bed one night and I thought that if you b roke it down, if you can get 15 0 0 p e o p l e , w h i c h s u r e l y t h a t ' s n ot to o many people, to pay $ 2 0 , t h e n w e ' ve g ot $30,000,” she said.

Donna talked to Rod Crow foot, the managing director of Macquarie Home Stay a n d h e e n co u ra g e d her to ‘go for it’ Social media was a natural step to promote the fund-raiser.

“I thought, ’I’ll just try social media because I haven't got any other way’. But with our large network of family and fr iends, we thought we’d just tr y that and see how it would go.”

A n d t h a t ’s exa c t l y what they did. Donna held a soft launch with a fe w o f h e r f r i e n d s and then published an official video on 2 January.

Successful start F ro m t h e re, i t to o k of f. O n t h e f i r s t d a y, they managed to raise $5,000 and have since raised more than $70,0 0 0 f rom on l i ne donations, as well as a sheep and cattle sale.

Talking to the sisters, it is abundantly clear that the fund-raiser has been a w ho l e fa m i l y effort.

Wh i l e t h e Wo r re l l b rothe r s a re not on social media as much as Donna and Julia, they organised most of the cattle and sheep s a l e s a n d w o r ke d i n the backg round to help promote the fundraiser.

The Macquarie Dubbo Home Stay has a l so been ve r y suppor tive of the initiative.

H e l p i n g t h e fa m i l y navigate where to store the donations, as well as being there to answer any questions about the facility.

For Donna and Julia, giving back is what is really at the hear t of this fund-raiser. “ T h a t ’s o u r f a m i l y legacy – you help with w h a t e v e r y o u c a n ,”

Julia said.

While the Home Stay fund - raise r is un l i kely to become an annual event, the sisters bel ieve that it was having a specific target and cause that made it

such an over whelming success.

“It wasn’t just another fund-raiser,” Julia said.

“I think it was our personal stor y and us speaking up and sharing from the heart

that drove ever ything from the start.”

Donations fo r the Worrell Appeal for The Dubbo Macquarie H o m e Sta y w i l l cl ose at the end of February.

I n tota l, the fund -

raiser has raised an amazing $70,000, with more donations still trickling in.

Return to Parliament Parliament returned for t he f i r s t s it t i n g fortnight of 2025 l a s t we ek . It wa s a bittersweet week for me, marked by the reality that it was my last ‘first week’ back in Canberra.

Speculation on when t he ele c t ion w i l l b e called was rife within the walls of Parliament House, but it was still business as usual for me with plenty of meetings, debates and events to partake in.

On Wednesday I also took the opportunity to speak in the Federation Chamber on the closure of Wee Waa Hospital.

by Hunter New England Health.

It ’s t i me f o r t he leadership of Hunter New England Health to get their skates on, get in the car and come

to Wee Waa to find a solution. Basic health care is something that all Australians should have access to, and I’m backing the people of Wee Waa on this.

Warrumbungle water safe: PFAS tests clear Warrumbungle Shire Council says shire residents can rest assured, as the latest PFAS (per- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances) test results for the local drinking water supply show no cause for concern.

“Recent results from PFAS testing of local drinking water supplies within the Warrumbungle Shire Council Local Government Area (LGA) have now been received,” said Council mayor, councillor Kathryn Rindfleish.

“These test results offer strong reassurances to residents that there is no cause for concern with the drinking water across our LGA.” PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in various consumer products, such as non-stick cookware, fire-fighting foams, water-resistant fabrics, and personal care items.

These chemicals have been in widespread use since the 1950s due to their resistance to heat,

water, and stains. However, PFAS are persistent in the environment and can be challenging to break down.

In light of recent media coverage surrounding PFAS in drinking water supplies, there has been a review of safe limits in the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG). New draft limits have been proposed.

W h i l e t h e N SW E nv i ro n m e nta l P rote c t i o n Authority (EPA) continues to investigate PFAS co nta m i n a t i o n a t va r i o u s l o ca t i o n s a c ro s s the state, there are cur rently no concerns or investigations related to PFAS in the Warrumbungle Shire’s water-catchment areas.

In the can: Return and Earn scheme continues to grow The NSW Return and Earn container deposit scheme has hit a major milestone, with 13 billion drink containers recycled since its inception in 2017.

The program has put over $1.3 billion back into the hands of NSW residents, while significantly reducing litter and environmental impact.

Locally, Warrumbungle Shire residents have actively participated in the scheme, returning an impressive 19,356,480 containers through Coonabarabran Waste T ransfer Station and Dunedoo’s over-the-counter collection point at the Dunedoo Transfer Station.

A breakdown of local returns over recent years demonstrates the community’s ongoing commitment to recycling: • 2018: 1,989,956 • 2019: 2,927,980 • 2020: 2,882,831 • 2021: 2,580,375 • 2022: 2,909,247 • 2023: 3,194,411 • 2024: 2,871,680 (as of latest data).

State wide, 2024 was the biggest year yet, with 2.125 billion containers returned.

The highest single-day total was recorded on 23 December, 2024, with 10.3 million containers recycled.

Return and Earn has helped the NSW community in multiple ways beyond just environmental benefits.

Over $72 million has been raised for charities and

community groups, with many residents using their refunds to support local causes, fund-raise for schools, and assist those in need.

“This achievement shows just how important drink container recycling is across NSW,” said James Dorney, CEO of network operator TOMRA Cleanaway.

“With over 650 convenient and accessible return points, it has never been easier to recycle in our state.

The recycling of 13 billion drink containers has resulted in significant environmental savings including: • Water savings equivalent to 30,524 Olympic swimming pools.

• Energy savings equivalent to powering 136,864 Australian homes for an entire year.

• CO2 emission reductions equivalent to removing 582,215 cars from the road annually.

The initiative has also contributed to a 73 per cent reduction in drink container litter across the state, making NSW a cleaner and greener place to live.

Residents of the Warrumbungle Shire can continue to participate by visiting local collection points in Coonabarabran and Dunedoo.

Whether individuals are recycling for personal savings or donating their refunds to charity, every bottle and can returned contributes to a more sustainable future.

A new book review series by Bec Volkofsky Funny Story Emily Henry I chose th is bo ok , because the Peng uin ‘ T o p b o o k s t o r e ad in 2025’ had Henry’s new work, Great Big Beautiful Life, right at the very top of the list.

I c ou ld n’t g et my hands on that, so as a consolation, the lovely local library loaned me Hen r y ’s 2 024 F unny Story.

At first, I thought the flimsy characters were just part of the romance, boyfriend fantasy genre, but then I realised it was the point-of-view of the main character.

As our protagonist developed her relationships with other characters and got to know them better, the reader was allowed a more rounded knowledge of these characters.

The warmth of these developing relationships wa s supp or t ed by a charming location and lots of delicious food and drink.

The all-too-common trope of ‘hard-working mother, who worked late, but was able to sew costumes for a recital she eventually went to sleep in’, drove me crazy.

I am probably just projecting, but Henry’s attempt to honour the hard work and sacrifice made by mothers still perpetuates the harmful idea that mother i ng i n herently means t o be stretched too thin, rather than being a role requiring support and balance. Balance. Ha! Maybe I’ll write that fantasy novel myself.

Her writing is easy-to-

read holiday fodder.

L o ok , her name is Emily and according to the cover she is given the thumbs up by Colleen, T ayl o r, J o d i , H ol ly, Sophie, Sheree, Beth, Casey, E l le, L ea n ne – and rev iewed by a Rebecca. So, it is exactly what all of that implies.

But I am being unfair. Funny Story did entertain me, and I may have a l lowed mysel f t o be come a wee bit emotional, which was nice. The exploration of friendships really had me cheering. It wasn’t just about romance.

W hen r ev iew i ng a

romance novel, are you supposed to discuss the sex scenes? Or is it an unspoken rule that we talk about everything else except that? I don’t know.

I haven’t read a steamy book since I snuck a peak at my Granny’s Mills and Boon collection. Or when my Mum gave me a Janet Dailey book as a stand in for ‘the talk’. Both events occurring some time ago and certainly I kept as a secret until now.

So, compared to those works, Hen r y w r ites scenes that feel more like a celebration of two

souls uniting. In a hot way.

Coona kids roundup the competition CONTINUED FROM: BACK PAGE

O p p o r t u n it i es l i ke these offer youth insight into different careers in agriculture.

Ed said he planned to continue attending t h e s e eve nt s i n t h e future.

“When I get older, I am going to keep on doing it,” Ed said.

“When I’m an adult, I might sponsor them.

I might see if my kids can go.”

Preparation for these type of events begins long before the big day.

The process of sta r ting cat tle on additional feed, b reak ing them in to lead and clipping starts months prior, to ensure the cattle are up to show quality.

Coonabarabran Show’s ag team committee member, Callen Thompson shone a spotlight on the generosit y of those w ho made th i s pos s i b l e, f rom t h e A n g u s Yo u t h comm it tee, bal lot cattle suppliers and sponsors.

“They pulled together a really good show,” Mr Thompson said.

Wh en a s ked a b o u t b a l l ot ca t t l e p rovider s such as local stud, Chadwick Downs, who k indly o f f e r e d E d ’s s t e e r, Hamburger, and other stock , M r Thompson said the Show Society was g rateful fo r the assistance.

He also praised the Angus Roundup event

and what it provided for young people.

“There are quite a few activities around preparation for show stock and they learn about l ive an i ma l a s s e s s m e n t,” M r Thompson said.

However, the skills t h ey d eve l o p s p a n much further than the

show ring.

“The impor tant component of the event is that the students learn how to network.

“These are skills they wi l l use in the real world, no matter what industry they are in.

“It is our responsibility as adults and as

leaders in the ag industry to promote the benefits of agriculture as a career path.”

M r Thompson said w h i l e g row i n g u p it was events like these and the guidance he received from ag teachers that led h i m to a ca ree r i n agriculture.

Fast forward to 2025 and the Tigers had an application to play in the Castlereagh League’s 2 02 5 reser ve -g rade competition approved at a general meeting of Castlereagh Clubs last Sunday in Gilgandra.

The Tigers will play under the umbrella of the D u nedo o Swa ns , but w i l l reta i n thei r Tiger identity both on and off the field, with the finer details of the combination of the two clubs yet to be thrashed out.

Castlereagh League chairperson, Chris Deighton welcomed the Tigers back to the fray and said the decision to approve its application was unanimously endorsed by the current C a s t le r e a g h L e a g ue clubs. He added that it was hoped that their combining with t he D u ne d o o S wa n s would ensure a strong club coming from the D u ne do o / Mendo or a n area, which can on ly be go od for the overa l l Castlereagh competition!

2025 CASTLEREAGH RUGBY LEAGUE DRAW

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Gilgandra Races Saturday, 8 February Local galloper, Dao Sun set a new track record when winning the 1000 metres To oraweena h Cup, the feature event on Saturday at Gilgandra.

The second leg of a

double for trainer Kieren Hazelt on, Dao Su n carried the green-andwhite Bowman Racing colours and is part owned

by Jason Tate, president of the Gilgandra Jockey Club.

Since a serious injury sidelined regular jockey James Rogers, Dubbobased Wendy Peel has m o r e r e c e nt l y b e e n travelling to Gilgandra to ride trackwork for Kieren Hazelton – and she was rewarded with the ride on Dao Sun. Straight to the early lead, Dao Sun ($5.50) cleared out in the straight and won by over three lengths from stablemate Dancelittlesister (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $6) and Specula (Siena Grima, $3 favourite).

Earlier, the K ieren Hazelton trained Artell, owned by John Smith, a life member of

Gilgandra Jockey Club, had overcome difficulties to win the 1280 metres Maiden Plate.

Trapped behind the leading pack at the top of the short straight, Artell ($3.70), under the guidance of Jake PraceyHolmes, eventua l ly worked clear and flew home to beat Rebel Flyer (Shayleigh Ingelse, $3.10 to $2.80 favourite) by a short half head, with a neck to the third-placed Ransom’s Girl (Zoe Hunt, $8).

Parkes trainer Sharon Jef f r ies a nd lead i ng apprentice Shayleigh Ingelse missed out in the photo finish with Rebel Flyer, however, they had earlier combined to win the 1000 metres Maiden Handicap with Zillions.

Leading throughout, Zillions ($3.20 to $2.90 favourite) had over a length to spare at the

end from Lee Haitch Oh (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4) and the strong-finishing Dusty Vermeer (Kacie Adams, $71).

This was the first win in 37 starts for Zillions, however, the six-year-old gelding has only more recently been trained by Sharon Jeffries.

Looking for a more suitable d istance, Nar romine trainer T roy McCa r ney t ook on higher-grade horses with his Maiden Class seven-year-old gelding M o c u lt a Wa r r i o r, surprise winner of the 1550 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Well ridden by Kacie Adams, Moculta Warrior ($21), winless after 34 previous starts, came from last with a strong finish to win by a half head f rom Hoor i n i (Dylan Stanley, $5.50), while Beg Me (Wendy

Peel, $10) was a length away, third.

D ubb o jo c key K en Dunbar took full advantage of an inside ba r r ier t o g ive the Ross Lomax, Mudgeetrained Desirous ($3.30 favourite) a nice run on the rails before breaking cle a r t o ac c ou nt for Charge Away (Shayleigh Ingelse, $6) and the early leader, Mihrimah (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $7, in the 800-metres Class 1 Handicap.

A good r ide a lso by appr ent ic e S ien a Grima on the Michael Mu l hol l a nd , D ubb o tra i ned Tava nasia ($6 .5 0), wh ich raced close to the lead before winning the 1280 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap from South Bullaway ( Z o e Hu nt , $ 5 ) a nd Kiss The Outcast (Ken Dunbar, $9).

Coona stumps Gular in their own backyard!

Coonabarabran’s senior cricket team travelled west on Saturday, 1 February, to play Gulargambone at Gulargambone.

CRICKET In very hot conditions, Coona won the toss and elected to bat. They got away to a shaky start, the first two wickets bei ng lost w ith on ly nine runs on the board.

At that stage Cameron Whittall joined opener, Steve Hallett, at the crease and they put on an 89-run partnership before Ca mer on was dismissed for 56 in the 17th over.

Steve was out soon after for 39 with the team score on 104 and, at the half-way point of the innings, Coona

found themselves 4-108.

Coona continued to progress steadily until t he 2 5 t h o ve r when t hey lo st t hei r f i f t h wicket. That triggered a collapse, Coona losing their last six wickets for five runs and being all out in the 34th over for 130.

Jer ic ho C h at f ield , with 22, was the only other batsman to reach double figures.

Peter Peters sn r (4-6) and Levi Peters (4 -51) were the most successful bowlers for Gulargambone.

VETERANS’ GOLF Tuesday, 29 January Still no rain and with the Coonaba rabran golf course drying out, eight golfers took part in the club’s Tuesday competition on 29 January, which was won

by Mick Noy. Runner-up was Andy Galvin, Nearest to the pins went to Mick Noy and A ndy G a l v i n , wh i l e Andy also won the long putt.

Tuesday, 4 February

Just seven golf vets took part in the Tuesday competition on 4 February, with Don Walton winning from Geoff Gasior.

Nearest to the pins went t o D ick C l a rk , Don Walton and B ob Guichelaar, while Geoff G asior won the long putt.

WEDNESDAY GOLF Here we are, all fresh and ready to stick to our New Year’s resolutions – play more golf and try really hard to reduce our handicaps. Now for a catch-up on Wednesday golf over the festive season.

The Coonabarabran golf course alternated between dry, with lots of run and very good scores being recorded, then days of regular soaking rain that was lapped up by our thirsty fairways. One could stand and literally watch the grass grow. Keeping the fairways playable was a nightmare. However, competitions continued regardless.

8 January: Lou Dowsett stepped up to the winner’s circle, winning the first voucher for the year. Jan Keppie and Jane McWhirter won golf balls.

15 January: Kat Christoff won the voucher with 27 points. Balls were won by Jan Keppie, 25 points, and Carmel Munns, 24 points.

22 January: Lou Dowsett won with a net 73, on a count back from Jane McWhirter.

29 January: Julie Shinton had a good round, scoring 35 points. Jan Keppie was runner-up, 27 points, followed by Kerrie Ward, 26 points.

5 February: Kerrie Ward was the winner, scoring 34 points. Runner-up was Kat Christoff with 32 points, followed by Jan Keppie, 30 points.

WEATHER WATCH The main features of recent weather events has been the flood rains on the northern Queensland coast between Cooktown and Mackay during the past fortnight, and across to the Gascoyne district of Western Australia, where there were record highmaximum temperatures of up to 49.2 degrees at Gascoyne Junction.

Devastating floods hit Ingham. From 28 January to 9 February a total of 1963mms rainfall was recorded.

This was easily the wettest-ever fortnight in 133 years of records, well above the previous wettest fortnight in Ingham of 1093mms in 1981 from 4-17 January.

Townsville recorded 1148mms in the same period this year. This month’s total rainfall in Townsville to date has reached 1024mms, already the wettest February in 154 years of records.

The previous wettest Februaries were 870.7mms in 1877 and 787mms in 1947.

The past records of 1877 and 1947 showed distinctly warmer-than-average conditions in both January and February in our region.

Heavy rain did occur over most of NSW in mid February 1947, with near-normal rainfalls in Victoria.

Very heavy rainfalls were general over Victoria and NSW by the beginning of both March 1877 and 1947.

Cardnell, near Cairns, has recorded 1493mms over the first nine days of February and this has already surpassed the previous wettest February of 1331 set back in 1947.

Rainfall records at Cardnell go back to 1873.

The record heatwave in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia saw record high temperatures during the first week of February at Meekathara of 46.9 degrees and 49.2 degrees at Gascoyne Junction.

There was a very hot spell during the end of January 1991 which continued into February 1991.

There were high rainfalls in January and February 1991 at Cairns, Cardwell, Ingham and Townsville.

This did lead to a warmer and drier-than-average March and April in 1991, with 40 degrees in Victoria during early March 1991, however, the winter of 1991 was very wet.

Success in the show ring A Coonabarabran agricultural team recently attended the Angus Youth Round, learning invaluable life skills along the way.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY From 8 -12 Januar y, six students from Coonabarabran Show Society’s agricultural team took part in the 2025 Tamworth Angus Youth Roundup Show.

With an actionpacked prog ram, students gained a comprehensive understanding of Angus beef production and exhibition.

The show mixed c o m p o n e n t s of education, ente r ta i n ment and co m p et i t i o n, g i v i n g youth aged f rom 8 to 25 a well-rounded e x p e r i e n ce i n b e e f production and how to showcase cattle to a high standard.

Students took pa r t i n ed ucat i o n a l workshops, junior judging, barnyard olympics, mock bu l l auction, and a chuteto-showring challenge, culminating in cattle and parading classes.

Ag te a m s t u d e nt, Edward Thompson put his best foot forward for the judges.

Excelling in the show ring, Ed took out first place in his paraders’ class and secured fo u r t h i n t h e j u n i o r judging 10 and under age division.

When Ed learned that he had made it into the placings in his paraders’ class, he said he was excited, but also quite surprised.

When parading, students are judged on their ability to control and position their animal and themselves, their showmanship and presentation.

“I enjoyed leading the cows," Ed said.

In the junior judging section, students assessed live animals on facto r s such as d e pt h , m u s c l e, fa t, structure and overall condition.

They then placed the cattle in order of most desirable traits.

Ed said he was l o o k i n g fo r a l ot of muscle and a little bit of fat w hen j udg i ng cattle.

Petition to address youth crime gathers momentum A petition to address youth crime in NSW, by making changes to the Young Offenders Act, is gaining momentum.

More than 8000 people have signed the online petition which is demanding change, including strengthening bail laws, increasing resources and support for police officers, and reviewing the judicial

system to prioritise community safety.

The petition, being conducted through the NSW Legislative Assembly website, was instigated by Phebe Furneaux who has called on the government to do more.

“In the wake of tragic events resulting in the death of a young man, we, the undersigned, call for

change within our legal system,” the petition reads.

“Too many young offenders are being let out on bail to reoffend, committing multiple crimes such as breaking and entering, holding people at knifepoint, carrying weapons with intent to injure or kill, stealing cars, and engaging in police pursuits.

“These actions put lives at risk and our communities have had enough. Our safety and peace is being disregarded. We want that back. We want the police officers in our towns to have the support they need to catch these criminals and ensure they are dealt with appropriately.

“Too many people are being

injured in their own homes and suffering traumatic experiences.

We demand better outcomes for our hard working citizens. One life is one too many. We must act now.”

Local politicians have spoken out about the need for change and have encouraged people to sign the petition. Continued on page 3

State government commits further $2 million for Moree NSW Premier Chris Minns along with Minister for Youth Justice Jihad Dib visited Moree on Friday to announce more than $2 million in additional funding to help tackle offending and support young people.

Moree Plains Shire mayor Susannah Pearse and deputy mayor Wayne Tighe met with the Premier and Minister before the announcement regarding the extra investment which will further boost youth engagement, with a focus on reducing crime, improving family safety and supporting early childhood development.

“The deputy mayor and I are grateful to the Premier and Minister Dib for their time today and their ongoing interest and investment in our community,” Cr Pearse said.

“Crime continues to be a major issue in our shire and everyone acknowledged that our community deserves better.

“The revolving door of offending and reoffending needs to cease.

“Our community deserves to feel and be safe in their homes.

“We are fortunate that the Premier has made our community a personal focus and welcome his announcement of a fouryear commitment to Moree, appointment of providers for the bail accommodation facility, and a review of relevant legislation.”

“This is all important work which we hope will see our crime issues improve and better outcomes for vulnerable youth in our shire,” said Cr Tighe.

“The community of the Moree Plains Shire wants to see further reforms to our sentencing and bail legislation and are expecting more actions from the state government as the Inquiry into Community Safety in Regional and Rural Communities hands down its recommendations later this year,” said Cr Pearse.

Cr Pearse said last week’s announcement is another step towards a safer community.

“There is still much to be done and council will continue our role in advocating for our community’s demands,” Cr Pearse said.

The additional funds will flow over four years from July and reinforces the Minns government’s commitment to working with the local community and leveraging local strengths to maximise positive outcomes.

This builds on the NSW government’s initial $13.4 million targeted response for Moree.

The funding injection comes as the NSW government marks two important steps in the delivery of a new youth bail accommodation centre and after-hours patrols.

This short-term accommodation centre will provide police and courts with more options to put a young person under supervision.

The facility will also give authorities higher confidence that young people released on bail will not reoffend while their proceedings are underway.

A consortium of three local Aboriginal organisations will deliver the new centre.

The alliance consists of Miyay Birray Youth Service, Pius X Aboriginal Medical Service, along with SHAE Academy.

The service will improve opportunities to divert young people away from the justice system and provide culturally appropriate support services.

While the bail accommodation centre is expected to open later this year, Youth Justice NSW is also boosting resources in Moree by establishing additional temporary caseworker roles to supervise young people on bail.

Premier Chris Minns said it is pleasing to see Moree locals putting their hand up to help address youth crime and

More support for youth programs in Moree The state government’s investment in Moree to address crime, support young people and improve community safety is moving forward with the launch of $1 million in grants to deliver more after-hours activities.

The NSW Premier, Chris Minns was in Moree last week to announce the successful recipients of a new innovative small-grants program to support individuals and small businesses wanting to do more to support young people.

PCYC, Miyay Birray and SHAE Academy have been awarded additional funding to expand and improve after-hours activities for young people in Moree.

PCYC was awarded $314,000 to expand the U-Nites program to an additional two evenings each week, on Thursday and Saturday nights.

SHAE Academy was awarded $152,000 to deliver specialised youth programs on Friday and Saturday evening each week, with staff support until 2am.

Miyay Birray was awarded $282,000 to improve and expand StreetBeat so that it operates until 12am on Monday to Wednesday and until 2am on Thursday to Sunday evenings each week.

This will help to keep young people safe and off the streets late at night.

Mr Minns said the NSW government is backing young people in Moree and helping make the community safer.

“By providing more after-hours activities, we are helping more young people stay on the right track,” Mr Minns said.

“This kind of early intervention will help prevent crime and give young people more chances to succeed.”

Mayor Mark Johnson said it is great to see after much community consultation the NSW government’s Moree placed based initiatives coming to fruition.

“The after hours activities announced, whilst just one piece of a suite of future actions, will provide safer circumstances for our youth.

We are grateful to Premier Minns and his government for their ongoing support of our shire,” Cr Johnson said.

The CEO of the Moree Local Aboriginal Land Council, Steve McIntosh, expressed his gratitude to welcome the Premier back to Moree to discuss this important work.

“Since the NSW government announced this response in March, we’ve seen new energy and focus on our community,” Mr McIntosh said.

“The Moree Aboriginal Lands Council Land, along with Abcare, SHEA, Thiamali, Aboriginal Legal Services (ALS) Pius X, alongside our local police, share the same vision, knowing that the only way we can improve the lives of our young people, in a lasting way, is by empowering them and providing them with better opportunities.”

Government to seek extension for bail laws Continued from front page

The state government will seek a three-year extension on the temporary limitation on bail for young people.

Section 22c of The Bail Act 2013 provides that bail must not be granted for young people aged between 14 and 18 charged with a motor theft or serious breaking and entering while on bail for an offence of that type, unless the bail authority has a “high degree of confidence the young person will not commit a serious indictable offence while on bail”.

Early data has shown the laws have made a difference, with the bail refusal rate for matters that section 22c applies to more than double that of the bail refusal rate for young people charged with similar offences.

We are seeing persistent repeat offenders in our community, and it’s become clear to me that more needs to be done.

NSW PREMIER CHRIS MINNS Between April when the new law came into effect and September 2024, 97 of 123 alleged young offenders were refused bail using the law (almost 80 per cent).

In September, the bail refusal rate under 22C was almost 90 per cent.

The state government has said the impacts of the section 22C amendment will continue to be evaluated throughout the threeyear extension.

Premier Chris Minns said under the government’s bail laws, alleged offenders are more than twice as likely to be denied bail.

“The bail laws need to be retained – and that’s exactly what we are doing,” Mr Minns said.

“However, we are seeing persistent repeat offenders in our community, and it’s become clear to me that more needs to be done.”

Attorney General Michael Daley said the government is concerned about youth crime and will have more to say about further measures designed to help keep people safe.

“These bail laws were designed to address repeated alleged offending by young people charged with serious break and enter and motor vehicle theft,” Mr Daley said.

“We can already see that they are working and need to be retained.”

PREMIER VISITS MOREE: Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Youth Justice Jihad Dib visited Moree on Friday to announce the government’s intention to extend youth bail laws as well as a further $2 million to address youth crime and strengthen community safety.

Crime petition gains momentum Continued from front page

The online petition has been tabled by state Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson who said it presented an opportunity for victims of crime and concerned locals to make their voices heard.

“Deeply disturbing incidents of crime are continuing throughout regional NSW, and local residents and victims have had enough,” Mr Anderson said.

“That includes people like Tamworth’s Phebe Furneaux who has been a victim of violent home invasion.

“Phebe has had enough and has put together an e-petition to the NSW Parliament calling on the government to implement stronger consequences for offenders’ actions.

“Our communities expect tougher laws and consequences for actions, and I am joining Phebe in calling on the government to do more.”

Mr Anderson’s call for action has also been supported by neighbouring state MP, the Moree-based Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan.

“Like everyone across regional NSW, I am fed up with the amount of serious crime in our towns,” Mr Moylan said.

“Communities are sick and tired of crimes allegedly being committed by repeat offenders.

“Change is needed to ensure the courts are compelled to impose tough, effective sentences on those who persistently offend.

“People power will jolt the Minns Labor government into action and take notice of what is happening in regional NSW. “If this e-petition gets 20,000 signatures, the government will be required to debate it.”

Binnaway PAH&I a winner in Nutrien grants program Binnaway Pastoralists, Agriculturalists, Horticulturalists & Industry Association (Binnaway PAH&I) is among 59 priority projects across the length and breadth of Australia receiving funding thanks to the Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program.

This is the third year of the program, which offers grants of up to $5000 for projects that contribute to community wellbeing and vibrancy in remote, rural and regional communities.

Mady Muirhead, corporate affairs advisor at Nutrien Ag Solutions, said that the company is proud to support rural communities to implement future-focused solutions that are both attainable and sustainable.

“Thanks to our partnership with FRRR, we are able to help local grassroots organisations do more of what they do best. These organisations are the heartbeat of remote, rural, and regional communities, and raising funds for local priority projects is getting harder and harder. But we are proud to support them now, and in the long-term,” said Ms Muirhead.

“In 2024 we saw almost 200 local Nutrien branches endorse grant applications and we are proud to fund more than a quarter of those projects. Our people live and work in these communities and thanks

to their commitment to building lasting relationships with locals, they know just what projects the community will really value.”

Since 2021, the Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program has awarded more than $750,000 in grants to 167 community-led projects, helping to create longterm positive outcomes for rural places.

Nutrien Ag Solutions Narrabri’s branch manager, Geoff Brown said Binnaway PAH&I is a very worthy recipient of the funding.

“Our team love being part of the Binnaway community and we are very proud to support a wide range of projects that meet community needs and enhance our town,” said Mr Brown.

“Binnaway PAH&I will receive $4550 to install and make functional an accessible bathroom facility for all their guests.

“They were fortunate enough to have the accessible bathroom building given to them and now can complete the project. Receiving this grant has meant that the volunteers wouldn’t have to do as much fundraising to finalise the project.”

MP’s ‘affinity’ for Gunnedah

By SAM WOODS

editorial@gunnedahtimes.com.au

Outgoing federal MP Mark Coulton said Gunnedah will always remain close to his heart.

During a visit to the region late last month, the retiring MP described his 17 years in parliament as “an absolute privilege” to serve.

“It’s my mother’s home town, so I’ve always had that affinity here and I’m very proud to represent such a strong community,” Mr Coulton said.

He said Gunnedah’s economic prospects remain strong and the volume of traffic was a good indication of its prosperity.

“If you want to judge a town, you just need to look at the main street. If you’re having trouble parking, things are going pretty well,” he said.

“It’s a bustling town and I’ll be sad to leave it but my time is up, it’s time to move on.”

The electorate of Parkes covers an area of 406,755 sq km – about 50 per cent of New South Wales.

The division of Parkes underwent substantial changes in the Australian Electoral Commission’s 2016 electoral boundaries redistribution, which saw the inclusion of the City Council of Broken Hill, Central Darling Shire Council and the Gunnedah Shire Council areas. Another electorate boundary change last year added three additional local government areas to Parkes including Bland, Forbes and Parkes shire councils while losing the remainder of the Gwydir Shire to the Division of New England.

Mr Coulton was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2007, and re-elected in 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2022 elections.

Prior to his time in parliament, Mr Coulton was Gwydir Shire Council mayor.

He hoped the Gunnedah region would remember his time as the Parkes’ representative as “one of them who has gone on to represent in Canberra”.

“I’ve been given a great privilege

Member for Parkes NSW delivers a valedictory speech in the House of Representatives late last year.

by the support from Gunnedah,” he said.

“They voted for me very strongly and that given me the opportunity to be involved in health policy and local government and a range of other things.

“I’m very honoured to be given that and hope some of the things I’ve done will be reflected on the lives of the people here.”

The Australian Parliament resumed in Canberra last Monday for its first sitting week of the year.

The 2025 federal election will be held on or before May 17. Federal elections must be held at least once in every three years on a date determined by the Governor General, upon request by the government.

Coalition says nuclear plan does not rely on less economic activity The Federal Opposition has dismissed claims its nuclear energy plan assumes Australia would produce less economic growth – not more – during a recent stopover in Gunnedah.

Queensland LNP Senator and Shadow Minister for Resources, Susan McDonald, joined the pre-election campaign trail in Gunnedah for visits to a local flour mill and a coal mine.

Speaking outside Whitehaven Coal, the opposition senator said more needs to be done by the government to support productivity, particularly in the mining sector.

“We are a resources country and in the long term, resources and commodities do more to support Australia in ways other than just taxes,” Senator McDonald said. “[But] in the last two and half years we’ve seen mining investment slow in this country.”

Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen said the Coalition’s costings for nuclear power in Australia assume such productivity would not eventuate.

“The Coalition are irresponsibly asserting that costs will be lower because Australians will use less power,” Mr Bowen said.

“They ignore the independent advice from the Australian Energy Market Operator. “[Opposition Leader] Peter Dutton’s nuclear scheme isn’t a plan to meet our growing energy needs – it’s nothing more than a recipe for bringing our economic growth to a halt.

“Australia needs new, cheap power now, not expensive power in 20 years. Ageing, expensive and unreliable coal plants are closing and we have to fill the gap.”

Speaking to the North West Magazine, Senator McDonald said the assertion that the

LEADERS IN THE FIELD

Every business I go to is talking about scaling production once they get into that peak period of 5-8pm, whether it’s the flour milling business or manufacturing in other parts of this country.

Coalition’s nuclear plan is relying on Australians using less power, with less productivity, is unfounded.
