Back on the menu!

Coona Public School canteen reopens after fire Twelve months ago, Coonabarabran Public School’s canteen was severely damaged by fire, requiring extensive renovations.

by MOLLY SHANNON With renovations now complete, the school canteen officially reopened on Tuesday, 18 February.

New canteen manager, Katie Chapman said she was thrilled about the changes.

“Everything is all new – it’s nice and fresh and fully equipped with stainless steel,” she said.

The canteen’s reopening brings not only changes to the building, but also an updated menu. Students and staff can now enjoy freshly-made chicken burgers on Mondays and Tuesdays, hand-made nachos on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the standard menu on Fridays. Additional options include hot dogs, and Coonabarabran Bakery treats including pies and sausage rolls.

The menu follows Canteen guidelines, with 75 per cent classified as everyday foods and 25pc as occasional foods. One standout addition is the Juice Bomb, a 99.9% fruit juice drink with bubbles, which has quickly become a playground favourite on hot days.

M r s Chapman has also ensu red that specialised dietar y requirements will be accommodated.

“We want to make sure all students have options available to them,” she said.

The response to the canteen’s reopening has been overwhelmingly positive. On opening day there was a long line of children, all excited to get their hands on some delicious canteen food.

Efficiency Even school principal, Lucy Evans has been enjoying the canteen.

“My son and I get lunch there every day. The chicken burgers are my favourite so far – Katie even coats the chicken herself!”

Mrs Evans emphasised that the canteen operates to serve families rather than generate profit.

“We try to keep the prices down so that things are reasonable. It’s all about making things easier for families and I’m really happy with it.”

Mrs Chapman’s goals for the canteen include running at cost and minimising food waste.

“I call the Bakery each day and order exactly what I need, for example – two pies, four sausage rolls and two hot dog rolls. Floody delivers it within 10 minutes. This way, we have almost no waste,” she said.

Canteen helpers needed Despite its success, the canteen still needs volunteers. Those interested can visit or call the school’s front office to be added to the roster.

With the new canteen comes an innovative online ordering platform, which is scheduled to launch on Monday. While the traditional cash ordering system will remain in place, this new alternative will aking it easier for both parents and students to order lunch and recess, while reducing the morning rush at the canteen.

“It will help parents to be organised, drop their kids off without worrying about ordering in person – and give me more time in the mornings to prepare,” Mrs Chapman said.

Orders can be placed online up until 9.05am on the day, streamlining the process for everyone involved.

With its fresh new look, improved menu and increased efficiency, the canteen is set to be a great asset for the school community.

Katie Chapman, new canteen manager at Coonabarabran Public School, serves up some healthy, delicious treats.

Elderly Baradine woman confronts burglar threat A masked intruder who broke into the home of an elderly and vulnerable Baradine widow has been charged with allegedly demanding property with menaces with intent to steal, and car theft.

by LIZ CUTTS W hen the 91-yea rold woke in the early h o u r s o f T hu r s d ay, 2 0 Febr ua r y, t o f i nd a n u n k now n ma n i n her l iv i n g r o om , a l l she thought about was getting him out of her home.

Although the suspect demanded money from her with an apparent threatening attitude, it did not intimidate the local resident, who lives on her own.

“He was just standing there and I told him to get out of my house, although I did not say it as nicely as that!” she said.

“He had on a black mask, so all I could see were his eyes. He asked me for money and I told him that I did not have any; I considered his attitude very menacing. “ He got around me a nd g rabbed my c a r keys, but I ma naged to get to my walking stick and pushed him out of the door with it, but he took my car and raced off.

“Then I saw my shed door open and realised t h at he mu st h ave

been in there as well.

Every thing had been pulled out – there is the biggest mess.”

Officers attached to O r a n a M id -We s t e r n Police District arrived at the scene and a short time later, with police locating the allegedly stolen vehicle abandoned and damaged nearby.

They established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the incident.

The victim believes that the appa rent escalation in local crime is due in part to a lack of a police presence in the town. “ This should not be happening in Baradine, people need to be alert a nd repor t a ny th i ng that seems suspicious to the police,” she added. “ T he t h i n g t h at I don’t like are all these ‘ hood ies’ that a re walking around town day and all night – they are up to no good. “ T here are a lot of people living on their own here, a lot of elderly p e ople who get ver y ner vous when things like this happen. We need a police officer in our town and something

needs to be done about it.”

Following extensive inquiries, police have since arrested a 19-yearold man. He was taken

to Coonabarabran Police Station where he was charged with taking and driving a conveyance without the consent of the owner, demanding

property with menaces w ith i ntent t o stea l, and aggravated dwelling entry with intent knowing people were there.

The man was refused bail and appeared before the Dubbo Local Court on Friday, 21 February.

Police urge anyone who sees any sor t of

suspicious activities, or with information on this particular incident, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the Coonabarabran police.

Baradine residents say they are worried about the crime in the town and want a local police presence to return.

Back with a bang at Binnaway Saleyards Binnaway Store Sale has kicked off the year with strong attendance and prices.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY L a s t F r i d a y, 21 February, 480 head of cattle were yarded at the Binnaway Store Sale.

In a strong start to the year, the sale was wellattended with buyers from Coonabarabran, Baradine, Coonamble, Coolah, Gunnedah, Tamworth, Dubbo and Geurie.

Local stock and station a g e nt, D a v i d G ra nt, remarked on the quality of the yarding.

“Whatever you looked for, you had the article there,” Mr Grant said.

“M o s t fe e d e r- t y p e cattle made from $1190 to $1800.”

Angus steers, of fe red o n b e h a l f of Pa u l C o s g rove, f ro m Purlewaugh, topped the steer section, fetching $1520.

Lighter-weight steers sold from $650 to $710.

Heifers were in strong demand, with Mr Grant noting their impressive weight and quality.

“It was the best yarding of heifers I have seen i n B i nna way fo r many years,” he said.

“There wasn’t a heifer you wouldn’t take home and join to a bull.”

Heavier-weight heifers sold for $1000 to $1260, while light-weight heifers made from $600 up to $800.

Cows and ca lves en j oyed a “c ra ck i n g sale,” according to Mr Grant.

Charolais cow and calf units, from Mark Baker, of Coonabarabran,

reached $2160, while other cow-and-calf lots sold between $1700 and $1800.

“PT I C (p reg nancy tested in calf) cattle sold for $1400 to $1600, with Charolais heifers in calf to an Angus bull, on the account of Benton and Halliday, from Binnaway, topped the PTIC section

at $1600.”

Binnaway-based stock and station agent, Larry Tolmie said the sale was stronger than expected.

“We’ve had a pretty good season,” Mr Tolmie said.

“Local producers held on to their cattle for longer for this sale, allowing them to

gain ex tra condition, t ra n s l at i n g to h i g h e r prices per head.”

Mr Tolmie said there was a bigger opportunity for people to purchase at this sale and while he expects the market to hold, he said a little rain would “kick it along” and further boost conditions.

Dedicated rural GP strengthens local healthcare Warrumbungle Medical Centre has welcomed a new addition to the team.

by MOLLY SHANNON Meet Dr Jean Littlewood, a dedicated rural GP who has commenced work in Coonabarabran.

Dr Littlewood hails from t h e Ke e p it D a m a rea, just 164 kilometres from Coonabarabran. Her j o u r n ey i nto m ed i ci n e began with a positive work experience at a Manilla medical centre, where she first considered becoming a doctor.

However, she quickly realised that the path to becoming a doctor was not so straightfor ward.

She pursued her studies in Sydney, trained in Port Macquarie and following her graduation, moved to D u b b o, w h e r e s h e practiced for three years befo re relocating to Wellington.

After t wo years in Wellington, Dr Littlewood seized the opportunity to move to Coonabarabran and join the Warrumbungle Medical Centre team.

“When I was an intern, we would, at times, be requi red to contact d o cto r s a t ot h e r s i te s – Coo n a b a ra b ra n, fo r example,” she said.

“I distinctly remember talking to Dr Yabsley on the phone, and she was lovely.

“I told her I wanted to be a rural GP and maybe o n e d a y I ’d c o m e to Coona – and she was very supportive.

D r Littlewood said that phone call proved influentual.

“Coona has good ser vices and great doctors, so it seemed like a good place to train.”

Passion Being a GP is a demanding profession, but what keeps D r Littlewood motivated is the people.

“In ou r p rofession, sometimes general practice and primary care are seen as the bottom of t h e h e a p, w h i c h i t absolutely isn’t,” she said.

“But, for some reason, there’s not a lot of people who want to do it – I think that doesn’t really reflect how good a job it is.

“The thing I like most about the role is hearing p e o p l e’ s s t o r i e s a n d m e et i n g n ew p e o p l e.

Even if it’s just helping in a very small way, it’s very rewarding.

“You do see some really hard parts of humanity, but also a lot of the best par ts, which is really wonderful.”

O u t s i d e of wo r k , D r Littlewood enjoys a variety of hobbies, including

gardening, sewing and spending time outdoors.

She is also a r ugby u n i o n fa n a n d h o p e s to see a team fo r m i n Coonabarabran.

Welcome addition The team from Warrumbungle Medical Centre is thrilled to have D r L i t t l ewo o d j o i n t h e practice.

“J e a n w a s a yo u n g lady that we had been keeping our eye on for a long time now,” said p ra ct i ce p r i n c i p a l, D r Aniello Iannuzzi. “ We’ve s e e n h e r progress from an intern i n D u b b o a n d w e’ v e been encouraging her for a few years to consider Coonabarabran.

“She’s come here now and we hope she enjoys her experience and stays for a long time.”

W i t h D r L i t t l ewo o d’s a r r iva l, the med ica l centre will now have a full complement of staff – something that is quite rare in rural towns.

T h i s m ea n s red uced waiting times for appointments, with availability within a few days. Additionally, local docto r s w i l l be mo re frequently on cal l at Co o n a b ra b ra n H ea lt h Service.

“I think that’s better for

the community, because having local doctors at t h e h o s p i ta l p r ov i d e s continuit y of ca re,” D r Iannuzzi explained. “ N ot o n l y co nt i n u it y of ca re, but we would a rgue it of fer s mo re c o m p r e h e n s i ve c a r e, as we can l ink what happens to the patient in the community with what happens in the hospital. “ We k n o w h o w t h e system works and what resources are available in Coonabarabran, making the hospital experience more efficient and effective.”

Challenges Despite these positive developments, Dr Iannuzzi said that support for rural doctors remained limited and under funded, with many young docto r s turning away from general practice and primary care in favour of specialities that offer better pay and working hours.

N e v e r t h e l e s s , Warrumbungle Medical Centre has successfully assembled a strong team, with Dr Littlewood working alongside Dr Iannuzzi, Dr Yabsley and Dr Jackson Blythe, who will return in the coming months.

Additionally, Dr Verran will also be filling in when available.

Dr Jean Littlewood has joined the staff of Warrumbungle Medical Centre.

SPECIAL FEAUTURE: WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Empowering women through leadership Heidi McGlashan is on a mission to cultivate strong, courageous and empowered leaders in Coonabarabran and beyond.

Tell us a bit about your business?

My business is called ‘ D a r i n g L e a d e r s h i p’ and I’m a Leadership Devel opment Coach and Facilitator. I offer corporate group team development programs and leadership development coaching ser vices. I have been working in this field for a number of years, in education, and am inspired by the potential for leadership growth in our town and decided i t wa s t i m e to o p e n my busi ness doo r s i n

Coonabarabran – share the love.

I have been running monthly workshops locally – an the next one, “Empowered Women, Empower Women”, is being held next Tuesday to mark International Women’s Day, with myself and guest speaker, Kirrily Vincer. But if you have something you’d really like to learn about, please reach out and let me know!

Tel l me about you r work background in the lead up to running your

business?

I’ve been in education for 30 years – a teacher, Deputy Principal and Pr incipal. D u r ing this time, I’ve always been interested in coaching a n d m e n to r i n g a n d had been involved in programs with the Department of Education in Queensland. When I made the courageous decision to leave the Department and come home, I was approached by a Gold Coast-based business to be a coach, consultant and facilitator in their team. I really love

our own town and so wanted to create the same kind of leadership growth opportunities in Coonabarabran.

What does this year International Women’s Day theme ‘Accelerate Action’ mean to you?

I am commit ted to supporting, encouraging and empowering other women in the workplace and in their lives. We all have a story of courage and bravery and what I have found is that at the heart of this for women, sits a group of women who have supported her in her journey. I want women to fe e l e m p o w e r e d , strong and courageous, regardless of what they do, their age or what their background is. My work allows me to provide an opportunity for all women to learn from and with each other and build a compassionate and courageous community.

How do you balance the demands of running a business with other responsibi l it ies (the "juggle")?

I love that this question w a s n ot p h r a s e d a s ‘balance’! Life is not a balance, but a beautifully-crafted recipe of work, rest and play.

Madeleine Albright said “I do think women can have it all, but not all at the same time. Our life comes

in segments, and we have to understand that we can have it all if we’re not trying to do it all at once.”

I truly believe this.

I have set really clear boundaries for myself about my ‘open hours’ – what are the times that I work, and that means thinking about work too!

Having suf fered from burnout more than once in my life, I have been ver y deliberate about what my work hours are.

I like to start early in the morning, but I’m usually done by 4 or 5pm. I don’t work weekends and once I shut my office door in the afternoon, that’s it!

I am commit ted to having a healthy life, so I exercise each morning a n d I m a ke s u re I’m co n n e ct i n g w i t h t h e women in my life who give me positive energy. I no longer get caught up in the small stuff (which sometimes feel like big stuff) like the ironing and cleaning, and Sunday afternoons are always for napping, reading, crotchet, sewing – doing whatever my heart needs.

What’s your advice to other women aspiring to follow a similar path?

1. D o n’ t c o m p a r e yourself and your journey to others. Your work, rest and play combination might look different to others and that’s okay!

2. Set boundaries, set goals, create habits.

3. Get a coach (I’ve got one too)!

Wh a t d o you t h i n k n e e d s t o ch a n g e t o better support women in business, both locally and more broadly?

Women need to support women. We are not the competition!

When we come together and work collaboratively, using our strengths, we create magic.

I would love to see us (women) be okay with not judging each other, n ot c o m p et i n g w i t h each other and being comfortable to learn from

each other.

A s a s o c i e t y, w e need to get better at being comfortable with women being in the lead AND having a fami ly AND having goals and dreams! We can do all of that and be amazing at it. I’d just love to see our community embrace the women in our community who are doing wonderful wor k – look a round at the businesses in Coonaba rab ran that are owned and run by women!

Council websites refreshed Warrumbungle Shire Council has announced the launch of its newly-upgraded Council and Tourism websites, allowing customers to find all Council information and information from around the region in one spot with a fresh new look.

In line with the Council’s resolution from the ordinary council meeting on 19 May 2022, Warrumbungle Shire Council launched their newly-upgraded websites last week.

Council said that this project, which aims to meet the growing needs of the community, marks a significant milestone in its efforts to improve digital accessibility, enhance online services, and ensure compliance with modern technology standards.

“The redevelopment of our two websites is a major step forward in making Council services

more accessible and userfriendly for all members of our community,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, councillor Kathryn Rindfleish.

“We are committed to ensuring that everyone, whether at home or visiting, has seamless access to the information and services they need.”

The redevelopment of the website was carried out in collaboration with Granicus, a company selected after a competitive quotation process. This redesign includes a complete overhaul of the main Council website and the creation of a

dedicated subsite for the Warrumbungle Region Tourism site, making information more accessible to the public and visitors alike.

“Our focus has been on making this platform easier to navigate and more inclusive, while also providing an enhanced online experience for both residents and tourists,” Cr Rindfleish explained.

“This project is all about improving our digital presence and ensuring we are meeting modern standards for accessibility and user experience.”

Warrumbungle Shire Council launched its revamped website last week.

Smiles, tears and yawns: Kindergarten students begin their school journey It was a big day for many families across the Warrumbungle Shire on Thursday, 13 February, as a fresh wave of eager Kindergarten students stepped through the school gates for the first time.

With backpacks zipped, new lunch boxes packed and a palpable sense of excitement in the a i r, new stuents began their journey into the world of education.

At C o on aba rabra n P ubl ic S cho ol , the excitement had been building for weeks.

Many students had spent the holidays eagerly anticipating their first day, with parents just as eager (and sometimes a little nervous) about the milestone.

Jess Ha r r y, whose d aug ht er, H a r p er, started Kindergarten, said Harper had been talking about school nonstop, wondering what her

teacher would be like and looking forward to making new friends.

“She was really excited all holidays,” Jess said.

“But she got a bit shy and ner vous walking through the gates this morning.”

For many parents, the “ big day ” marked the start of a new chapter – one filled with new friendships, learning experiences and plenty of growth.

“I’m most excited for him to grow as a person,” said Gemma Steel, whose son, Carter, joined the Kindergarten class.

Monique Galvin ad m it t e d t o fe e l i n g emotional about how

“Harper has been excited to use her new lunch box and school bag – she hasn’t stopped showing everyone that’s come over. It’s going to be exciting watching her grow and come out of her shell this year and discovering new things.

I’m so excited for her new adventure.”

- Jess Harry, with daughter, Harper

quickly the time had passed, as her youungest child, Wolf, commenced his school journey. “ We wer e q u it e nervous, as he’s our baby and couldn’t believe how quickly those five years went by,” she said.

“But once we got to the school and walked in with him, he was so confident and happy to finally be in Kindergarten.”

T he f i r st d ay wa s packed with memorable moments. Many students enjoyed exploring their cl a ssr o oms , me et i ng thei r teachers and playing with their new classmates.

The Lego table was a popular spot, while

others were thrilled by unexpected discoveries. “ Henley’s highlight wa s f i nd i ng out t he school has its ow n chooks!” said his mum, Whitney Savage.

While the first day is always a whirlwind, the school adventure is only just beginning.

Coonabarabran Public School principal, Lucy Evans said they were thrilled to welcome 24 wonderful Kindergarten students u nder the guidance of the talented Miss Olivia Tilborghs.

“Our intake numbers remain consistent w ith prev ious yea rs, although overall enrolment has decreased

O u t s i d e o f Coonabarbran, there were strong Kindergarten numbers at St John’s Catholic P r imar y S chool in Ba rad ine, w ith 12 students commencing their school journey.

“We have also had some additional enrolments in other classes, making our total number much larger than last year,” S t Joh n’s pr i nc ipa l , M a rga r et Mc K i n non said. “ We have a lso welcomed Racheal Barron to the staff three days a week. Racheal will share the Year 3/4 class two days and provide release rrom face-to-face

each Friday.

“Our year started with the annual swimming ca r n iva l, w ith ma ny qualifying to compete at the Western Regional Swimming Carnival in Wellington. “ W hat a wonderful start to the year!”

With the f i rst- day jitt ers beh i nd them, these young learners are now settling into their routines, ready to take on the challenges and joys of their first year of school.

And while some may still be getting used to the idea that school is an everyday thing, one thing is for certain – the Class of 2037 has officially begun!

“Carter attended Early Brds last year which helped get him prepared for Kindergarten, but his big sister, Grace, has spent the last eight weeks of holidays telling him all about what to do. I’m just hoping he has lots of fun and learns tons of new things.

- Gemma Steel, with son, Carter

“Henley was nervous at first, but he had the most amazing day! And he said learning was inappropriate, but he’ll go back tomorrow.”

“We eagerly anticipate collaborating with all our families to deliver a high-quality education f i l led w ith end less opportunities for our students.”

“I asked Wolf how his first day went and he said, ‘Good, I’m really excited to get to High School’. I actually don’t think he realised he had to go back again tomorrow until I told him this afternoon.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Warrumbungle Children’s Services Yaama Maliyaa (Hello friends).

Children’s Services have been welcoming children into their new learning environments across both campuses, while the Connect 5 Mobile Services have commenced play sessions at all their venues across the Shire.

This week in the Yuluwirri infants room, the babies have been exploring paint, using mostly their fingers and hands to feel the texture through touch and

sometimes even taste.

We have a few babies that explored the feeling of paint on their faces, hands, arms and legs, creating some amazing living artworks. Such a wonderful way to let babies be in the moment and express themselves through art.

Meanwhile, our children in the Yuluwirri toddlers learning environment have been rediscovering a favourite book, ‘Where is the Green Sheep’ by Mem Fox. This experience has provided

opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and the development of essential skills.

To further explore the story, the children created their own sheep using paper plates and cotton wool, followed by decorating sheep outlines with a variety of materials including pom poms, glitter, paper, and cellophane. This process allowed the children to bring to life the blue, red, and most importantly, the green sheep from the story.

Coonabarabran Public Well, the big bang of leaning and sporting achievement and participation continued again last week at CPS. A sh i n i ng d ay of swimming achievement at Coolah Zone Carnival, with our team of 20 odd sw immers doi ng us very proud – and many will go on to compete at North West. However, two standout champions were Emma Johnston and Savannah Swanson, who both came home w ith age - champion honours.

In other school community involvement, CPS sent a strong and enthusiastic team t o the Binnaway Junior Judging Day for a funf i l led , ac t ion-packed day of animal handling

Alex Brown, first winner of the newly-created ‘Principal’s Award’.

Tooraweenah Public O u r students were very excited to welcome 20 new Isa Brown hens to our Chicken Caravan enclosure.

We are looking forward

to our first eggs from our new hens and thank the community for their patience while our egg supply has been less over the last few weeks.

Class timetables,

and guidance. We were thrilled to be part of it and gained valuable k nowledge a long the way.

Mrs Evans has created a special award each week at Monday morning assembly for a student who has demonstrated a particular outstanding behav iou r or sk i l l throughout their learning week.

The inaugural award went to Alex Brown for the pride he takes in his schoolwork and the quiet, respectful and r e s p o n s i b l e w ay h e moves around the school.

Well done Alex, and we look forward to knowing the traits of the next quiet achiever.

r out i ne s a nd le s s on format were discussed as wel l as emphasis on daily Explicit Instruction Warm-Ups complementing learning.

Binnaway Junior Judging Day I went to Junior Judging in Binnaway. I first did a medical rotation and learnt how to do CPR. After that I went to a rotation that weighed cows with special machines.

We then went to an interesting rotation were you put dye and a special powder that made the dirt green and runny.

Next we went to see some bees and how they make honey.

After recess we did auctioning, I had a go and it was fun! I was selling Angus bulls, they were 12 months old.

The next rotation was judging meat cows; these cows were young so they were 18 months old.

They all had nose piercings because when they go to the show they had to lead them so that they wouldn’t run away. We also judged meat sheep.

After lunch we learnt how to sheer sheep, learnt about seeds and how they grow and what seasons they do, learnt how to test wool on sheep (there were lots of girls sheep). We then had to say what type of sheep the wool came from.

The very last rotation of the day was the chickens. We got to hold them and see how they were cleaned before a show.

club had an active and passionate member base, which was committed to the prosperity of the Castlereagh River.

Founded in 2007, the Fishing Club has made a great impact in restoring the river’s ecosystem by manually cleaning out waste and build up, removing thousands of carp and restocking with fingerlings.

“Since our first release in 2009, we have stocked in excess of 250,000 Golden Perch fingerlings in the Castlereagh River,” Mr Wood said.

“We have been involved with river restoration, Clean Up Australia Day river clean ups and native tree planting along the river.”

The Castlereagh River begins in the Warrumbungle Ranges and flows north-west for 549 kilometres to its junction with the lower Macquarie River.

The local communities of the Castlereagh are encouraged to participate in this inaugural Castlereagh Classic in any way possible.

“If you can please help support us in any way, we would greatly appreciate it,” Mr Wood said.

“Supporting these events promotes not only the longevity of the club, but also the Castlereagh River itself.

“The club is excited to see the community on the river over the weekend of 28 February – 2 March for the Castlereagh Classic.”

Coona cricketers bow out of comp Coonabarabran’s cricket team was involved in one of the most exciting games of the season against Curban at Coona’s number three oval last Saturday.

I n ver y pleasa nt conditions for cricket, Curban won the toss and elected to bat. They were soon in trouble and found themselves 2-6 after five overs, Jericho Chatfield taking the two wickets for Coona.

However, the visitors then fought back with a partnership of 51 between Greg Younghusband and Andrew Peart, Andrew’s innings including four sixes. When they w e r e s e p a r at e d t h e innings moved along steadily until they were dismissed in the 26th over for 103.

Top scorers were A n d r e w P e a r t (4 4 ) , A nthony B a r r y (12), Nigel A llen (12) and Greg Younghusband (10).

Wicket takers for Coona were Nick Willoughby (4-51), Zane Jenner (3-15), Jericho Chatf ield (2 -2 6) a nd Lockie Hadfield (1-4).

C o o n a ’s r e s p o n s e w ith the bat sta r ted well and openers Nick Willoughby and Hamish Fauchon took the score to 31 before Nick was caught on the square leg boundary for 22.

C o on a t hen lo st a series of wickets and

found themselves 6-51 a fter 25 overs – and looking like they had lost their chance of winning.

However, a late-order rev ival, led by Jacob Baker (30) and Ben Hjort (11), put them within reach of victory, but the last over bowled by Scott Chandler, where Coona need to score four runs to win the game, was a wicket maiden and Coona finished on 100, an agonising four runs short of the 104 needed to win.

Hamish Fauchon, with 15, was the only other batsman, apar t from

those already mentioned, to reach double figures.

The most successful b o wl e r s f o r C u r b a n were Jason Starr (3-17), Stewart Younghusband ( 2 -17 ) a n d G r e g Younghusband (2-22).

In a very close competition, the loss meant that Coona missed the semi-finals, so the boys’ season has ended and they have about six months now to decide whether to enter a side in the competition next year.

Celebrating native grains NARRABRI Gathering native grains in the north west has become an annual festival, a space to yarn, and a chance to bring community together with university researchers.

Grains were harvested from fields in Narrabri, then turned into seeds, ground down and baked into pikelets and Johnny cakes across the two-day event, hosted by the University of Sydney's Native Grains Program.

"We're really focusing on working out the threshing efficiency for native millet and the Mitchell grass," School of Life and Environmental Sciences Associate Professor Kim Bell-Anderson told AAP. "That is after harvesting it from the field ... you don't get pure seed, it comes with seed coats and husks and bits of what we like to call 'trash' that need to be cleaned off the seed.

"We've been engineering some specific equipment that's able to do that, to increase the efficiency of that seed collection and that processing to food grade."

Assoc Prof Bell-Anderson said the health benefits of native grains are huge, from the connection to Country and ancestral food that the community can experience in harvesting, through to consumption.

"We've been doing some research showing that one of the grains is a really potent blood glucose lowering grain food," she said.

"We just need a 10 per cent mix with 90 per cent wheat flour

and we can lower that post-meal blood glucose response by up to 30 per cent, which is huge.

"It would have a huge potential to reduce incidence of type two diabetes and other chronic disease."

University of Sydney associate

dean of Indigenous Strategy and Services at the Faculty of Science, Jordan Pitt said one of the most important things during the festival is space for discussion with community.

Native grains celebrated at Narrabri event Continued from front page

Dr Pitt said a relationship with the Indigenous community must be the foundation of any research or future scaling of production of native grains.

Historically, he said the community has experienced a disconnect with universities, making the annual harvest an important event.

"Even crossing that threshold and bringing community into the university space and making them feel welcome," he said.

"That gate between the university and community has grown a lot of distrust, but we saw very quickly that evaporate, as people got excited about the potential for these grains in their own communities."

Dr Pitt said there is a lot of interesting future prospects for native grains, health benefits, technology to harvest and process them but this relationship with community must come first.

"I want to see those

cultural practices, the country where the grains are from and the grains themselves in community hands," he said.

"There's a lot of future potential there but we need to have a strong foundation first."

Moree community commemorates Freedom Rides 60th anniversary MOREE Moree Plains Shire Council partnered with Moree Local Aboriginal Lands Council and community representatives to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 1965 Freedom Rides last Wednesday.

Led by Charles Perkins, the Freedom Riders’ actions in Moree led the then Moree Municipal Council to repeal the by-laws that prohibited Aboriginal people from entering the Moree Bore Baths and Moree War Memorial Hall.

In July 2024, Moree Plains Shire Council resolved that council “acknowledges the creation, enforcement and impact of the 1955 by-laws in reinforcing racial segregation” and committed to commemorating the Freedom Rides annually.

“In speaking to members of our community who were involved in the 1965 Freedom Rides, it is clear that our council by-laws had a huge impact on the community, mayor Susannah Pearse said.

“As Elders have said, the council by-laws set the local standard, enabling other restrictions and broader racism.

“In 1965, the 15-day bus ride of students from the University of Sydney drew national and international attention to the challenges and segregation experienced by our local Aboriginal people, ultimately

resulting in the by-laws being rescinded.

Beyond the local impact of the Freedom Ride, the media coverage around the famous bus journey is credited as contributing to the success of Australia’s 1967 Referendum.

“Today I am proud that for one, our council looks incredibly different to the council that put those by-laws in place,” Cr Pearse said.

“We now have our first Aboriginal deputy mayor in Cr Wayne Tighe, and it’s the first time we have had two Aboriginal councillors, with Cr Fred McGrady also joining the council table in 2024.

“Representation matters, and with diversity in the highest decision-making level of our organisation, we can aim for strategies and policies that better serve our whole community.”

At last week’s commemoration, the community assembled at the Moree War Memorial Hall prior to a march through the town’s central business district to the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre.

Elders who were present at the baths with Charles Perkins in 1965 spoke about their experiences and reflected on the changes brought about by the Freedom Rides.

The event then moved to Jellicoe Park for an afternoon of entertainment with local performers and a free lunch.

Qantas flight reduction on Moree to Sydney route disappointing: Mayor I understand that many in the community will be disappointed in the news that QantasLink has reduced its weekly flight schedule on the Moree to Sydney route from 10 flights per week to seven.

Council staff and I met with QantasLink representatives who advised that the change is in line with the minimum requirements of the new license agreement as set by the state government/Transport for NSW and which commences in April 2025. They explained that the reason for the reduction is not so much about demand (our passenger numbers have been steadily increasing) but the availability of planes as they retire the Q200 (36 seats) and Q300 (50 seats) fleet in favour of the larger Q400 planes (74 seats). Whilst more Q400 planes are on order, it will take time for them to arrive in Australia and then also train more pilots to fly them, hence the need for reduced services until they have the full fleet.

We highlighted that these flights however are more than just a numerical digit. Each flight that's been removed from the schedule represents a vital connection to the big smoke, enabling health by bringing specialists and GPs to town, getting our people to medical appointments and education, and keeping our economy going.

The Moree Plains and QantasLink have enjoyed a longstanding commitment to one another and the community has worked hard to keep them as our carrier for this vital route. At a time where neighbouring shires are losing their Sydney air services, we are fortunate to have one of only two regulated routes in NSW, with our national

carrier as our partner.

In recognition of the value that we place on this relationship, in 2024, council worked closely with QantasLink to undertake fasttracked works to support their transition to the larger Q400 aircraft, upgrading Moree Regional Airport's apron to allow for additional parking needs at a cost of approximately $1.2m. In addition, we are excited to have received $1m from the Australian government to match a further $1m from council to enable better aeromedical access. Our airport and our air service remains a big strategic asset for our whole shire and region, and we have made it a priority.

We have asked that QantasLink consults more broadly with council and the community on the schedule changes. We know that the change in flight departure and arrival times has also provided some challenges - if we are to have fewer flights, they need to be on the right days and times. We have asked to look at continuing to use the smaller planes to fill the schedule. We are not precious, any plane will do!

We will continue discussions with QantasLink representatives and the Hon. Jenny Aitchison MP Minister for Regional Transport to explore ways to ensure that our flight service provides the best utility for our community.

Impact on farmland uncertain from Keepit pipeline proposal KEEPIT DAM

By SAM WOODS

editorial@gunnedahtimes.com.au

Questions remain about the effect on farmland in the Gunnedah region if a proposal to pump water from Keepit Dam to Tamworth went ahead.

Public submissions are being sought on the plan to build a new western pipeline and pump stations to transfer water from Keepit Dam to Calala Water Treatment Plant in Tamworth.

The proposal forms part of the Tamworth Intervalley Pipelines and Off-River Storages Project which is addressing a critical water shortage in the city.

A $3 million preliminary business case funded by the NSW government is looking at several pipeline options to secure more water for Tamworth in the coming decades.

New pipelines to Tamworth from Split Rock Dam in the west and/or the Manning Valley in the east, are also being considered.

Meanwhile, a separate $6 million full business case jointly funded the state and federal governments, is looking at constructing a water treatment plant to recycle up to 12 ML of water per day from large food processors.

The preliminary business case will inform funding decisions for further investigations.

The NSW government said the project is being consid-

ered as Tamworth faces critical water security risks during severe droughts, with the potential for high or persistent water restrictions.

A NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water spokesperson said the neighbouring city could be bone dry in a matter of years.

“Tamworth is extremely vulnerable to drought and without intervention, could deplete its water reserves within six years if population growth or climate change exacerbates drought conditions,” the spokesperson said.

“The reality is we need to do more with less water.”

However, questions remain about the implications on water holdings at the 1960s-era Keepit Dam. With a capacity of 425,000 megalitres - almost as big as Sydney Harbour - Water NSW says its main purpose is to supply irrigation, stock and household needs in the Namoi Valley.

In addition to irrigated agriculture and environmental flows, the dam provides town water for Walgett and meets other industry and domestic requirements, flood mitigation and recreation.

A NSW government report described the state’s 2017-2020 “record-breaking” drought as “the worst in terms of storage inflows for any 24-month and 36-month consecutive periods for Keepit Dam”.

Children riding bikes at Keepit Dam near Gunnedah. The dam is primarily used for agricultural irrigation but is also utilised for a variety of other purposes including outdoor recreation and drinking water.

Combined inflows for the period January 2018 to December 2019 into Keepit Dam and Split Rock Dam were 87 per cent less than the previous worst recorded period from June 1918 to May 1920.

Despite these extreme shortages at two water storages identified by government as potential future water sources for Tamworth, the department said protecting farmland would remain a key priority.

“The NSW government is committed to improving water security for Tamworth while ensuring these efforts do not have detrimental

impacts on the regional economy, including farming,” the spokesperson said.

The department also emphasised the early nature of the planning process and further analysis of aspects like the construction cost for a Keepit pipeline and its feasibility, would be carried out in due course.

“To be clear, this process is still at an early phase and does not include detailed estimates of costs for construction,” the spokesperson said. “The preliminary business case facilitates a thorough inves-

tigation into whether building inter-valley pipelines and off-river storages are feasible. No decisions have been made yet, which is why we are talking with the community at information sessions over the next few weeks.

“Progressing any option for further investigation would require a more comprehensive full business case, including a detailed cost-benefit analysis.”

The government currently is scheduled to finalise the business cases by the second quarter of this year.

Region’s peak water group says Manning Valley best option, not Keepit Dam Namoi Water - the peak industry group for irrigated agriculture in the Peel, Upper Namoi and Lower Namoi valleys - says the Manning Valley would be the sensible option for a pipeline if one was built.

Namoi Water executive officer Mick Coffey also highlighted how the pipeline proposals were developed with a Dungowan Dam’s expansion plans would proceed. But when those plans were scrapped, no re-evaluation was made on the impact on neigbouring

water sources.

“Pipelines were discussed as part of the development of the Regional Water Strategies implemented by the NSW state government and department,” Mr Coffey said. “Unfortunately, during the consultation phases of the Regional Water Strategies, all options made the assumption the Dungowan Dam upgrades would eventuate. Industry and community both warned against the dangers of ‘putting all the eggs into one basket’ regarding

Dungowan but it fell on deaf ears.

“When the Dungowan Dam project was removed, despite the best efforts of industry and community to return to the consultation process the department and government would not.

“The Manning Valley pipeline would the most preferred option.

“The ability to operate the pipeline to supply Tamworth when there is excess water on the coast through triggers in a Water Sharing Plan is far more sustainable and

sensible. The alternative options to either of the Namoi storages would mean an erosion of reliability to the productive water pool, would only enhance the misinformed politics and public debate for whichever storage was chosen during dry times and other complications which have impacts to the downstream communities and industry.

“With the continuous philosophy used by governments and departments both at a federal and state

YOUR PARTNER IN PRECISION

level to aggressively target industry and communities with new rules to significantly reduce the water available which can be used for productive purposes, it is critical that the water which currently exists for productive use that keeps our main street economies alive remains in the productive pool.

“When there are times of excess in the Manning, which occur far more often than they do inland, the water could be piped for Tamworth during those conditions.”

Moree Plains annual bulky waste collection to get underway MOREE PLAINS SHIRE

Mayor Susannah Pearse, right, and deputy mayor Wayne Tighe on site at the MAAC where the 50m pool once resided.

‘Strategic shift’ for pool MOREE Moree Plains Shire Council has undertaken a strategic review of the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC) redevelopment, ultimately identifying that it is time for a new home for Moree’s 50m pool.

“We are deeply sorry for the length of time it is taking to deliver the 50m pool at the MAAC,” said mayor Susannah Pearse.

“We know the community is beyond frustrated. Council has taken its obligations to the community seriously, to not only deliver necessary community infrastructure, but also set the region up for long term growth and liveability.

“We have considered the challenges faced at the current site over many years, weighed up

the options, and in turn, agreed that it is time to let common sense prevail and look at a new site - one which has also been talked about in the community for some time.”

As such, council resolved at last week’s ordinary council meeting to halt works on the current 50m MAAC site and proceed with a feasibility study for Taylor Oval.

“This decision reflects the council’s consideration of key factors such as providing high quality and value for ratepayer money infrastructure, driving CBD activation, fostering tourism and economic development, supporting future population growth, and addressing the current needs of our residents,” Cr Pearse said.

“While changing course may be challenging, it is a necessary step

to ensure the long-term viability and sustainability of this vital community asset,” said Cr Pearse.

In its deliberations, council also considered the future of the MAAC, noting its historic significance and value to the tourism industry. Cr Pearse reassured the community that “council is committed to planned improvement works to the hot artesian pools at the MAAC”.

“As part of our review, council will be exploring the best options to keep the important tourist attraction and significant community asset open.”

Cr Pearse applauded the recently appointed council in strategically tackling the big issues early on, remarking that “this was not an easy call for the council to make. But it is the right call.”

Moree Plains Shire Council has advised now is the time to dispose of heavy, awkward and unwanted items with council’s annual bulky waste collection.
