PARKES CWA CELEBRATES CENTURY IN STYLE PARKES Country Womens Association was formed on 4 April 1924, and 100 years later is still a vibrant active group supporting women in the Parkes community.

On Saturday, NSW State CWA Vice President Jan Kerr from Canowindra welcomed a crowd of more than 100 people to a high tea celebrating the occasion and spoke briefly about the continuing role of the CWA in communities across NSW. PICTURED: Bronwyn Mackay, Rev Alicia Westcott, Leisl Walters, Pauline Gosper and Jeanette Lane enjoy the day.  Full story with more photos to come in a future edition.

Housing offers open Two long years on from floods, governments taking applications for buybacks, resilience works NEARLY two years on from the 2022 flood disasters, affected residents can start applying for buybacks, raising, relocation or flood resilience improvements.

The Central West Resilient Homes package opened for applications online Monday, October 28, with Reconstruction Authority NSW staff to be on the ground to help residents

with the process.

They will have a ‘pop up’ hub in Parkes today, Thursday, October 31, with appointments or drop-ins welcome at the Cooke Park Pavilion between 10am and 1pm, and 2 and 3pm.

To make an appointment phone 1800 844 085.

The team will be at Trundle Services and Citizens Club on Thursday, November 14, from 11am to

midday and 1-2pm.

Maps indicating the areas prioritised for different types of support are now available online, with individual circumstances to be taken into account.

Areas of Parkes along the Goobang Creek and parts of Trundle as well as Forbes and Eugowra are flagged for resilience measures, which include raising or relocating a home,

rebuilding a more resilient home or retrofitting homes with more resilient building materials.

All levels of government gathered in Eugowra on Saturday to announce the opening of applications, with Federal Minister for Emergency Management Senator Jenny McAllister, and State Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib standing with our local

State and Federal MPs and the region’s mayors.

Senator McAllister said the program was designed to ensure central west communities would be more resilient against future disaster.

“I encourage eligible homeowners to apply for this funding so we can minimise the impacts on homes and families going forward,” she said.

All the details and applications are available online via nsw.gov.au/ resilienthomesprogram There is $40 million in the housing package to be shared across Forbes, Cabonne, Parkes and Lachlan shires, but for some affected residents attending the announcement, the support comes after they’ve already rebuilt.

Hundreds turn Trundle pink

By DAVID ELLERY While Trundle is best known for its Abba Festival, Carolyn Keep, a local business woman and cancer survivor, has spent the last nine years growing a companion event that is on track to have raised well over $200,000 for the Cancer Council by the middle of the decade.

That’s an amazing achievement for what is essentially a one woman show bolstered by a small band of dedicated and enthusiastic local volunteers.

This year’s “Pink Night”, held at the town’s Golf Club, is expected to raise at least $40,000. $35,000 has already been collected and the funds are still rolling in.

That will bring the total raised since the event began to almost $190,000.

Ms Keep, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, said last Friday’s (October 18) event – which was attended by an estimated 900 people – was the best “Pink Night” yet.

While admission to the event, which has been sponsored by the Trundle Services and Citizens Club since its inception, is free its many

nation from the Trundle Services and Citizen’s Club.

Ms Keep, who said “Pink Night” had developed its own vibe and was now attracting people to the town in its own right, said the supporters were an eclectic group who came from “all over”.

One table of four women from Wollongong had seen a post on social media and thought it would be a fun thing to do.

“Social media has worked really well for us,” Ms Keep said.

“Some people are here for Abba, some are here for “Pink Night” and a lot are here for both.

“The bidding support is fantastic. I think that is because cancer, even though it is a terrible disease, is a leveller. Everybody either knows somebody who has had it or has had it themselves. It touches us all”.

Ms Keep is impressed by the progress in diagnosing and treating cancer in the last decade – but says much

more needs to be done to ensure women in regional and remote communities are on an equal footing in terms of access to treatment and support as their urban counterparts.

“My cancer was detected because I was eligible for a free mammogram when I turned 50,” she said. “If I hadn’t done that things may have turned out very differently for myself and my family”.

Erin O’Leary, the guest

supporters come cashed up and ready to spend.

The big money earners are the raffles and the charity auction.

This year one family coughed up $5500 for a Queensland luxury resort holiday and a Rugby League tragic bid $500 for a State of Origin jersey signed by Rabbitoh’s great Jack Wighton.

While some of the raffle prizes are also donated most of the 71 items on offer were paid for by a substantial do-

speaker who comes from Peak Hill, highlighted the fact that although the qualifying age for a free mammogram had now been dropped to 40, younger women such as herself were still slipping through the cracks.

Ms O’Leary’s concerns about a lump in her breast were initially dismissed.

If she had not sought a second opinion she might not have been diagnosed until it was too late.

Ms Keep, who devotes hundreds of hours preparing for “Pink Night” every year in addition to working in the family’s hardware store with her husband Gary, said she had been very well supported during her own illness.

“My drive is to make sure all women with cancer get access to the best possible support wherever they live,” she said.

“Women in the regions face unique challenges when cancer or other illness strikes. We have to leave our homes, our families and our local support networks for treatment. And access to specialists is always a challenge.

“We need to do everything we can to bridge that healthcare divide”.

Parkes a finalist for Tidy Towns honours commended the efforts of everyone involved in delivering these impactful projects.

“We are incredibly proud to see Parkes Shire recognised at this level,” Cr Applebee said.

“These achievements would not be possible without the collaborative efforts of Council staff, local contractors, community volunteers, and the generous support of our partners.

“From inclusive play spaces to wetlands conservation, each of these initiatives has been designed with the goal of improving the lives of our residents and protecting our environment.”

The projects that are under consideration are: Galing Gindhay Water Play and Lake Endeavour Project – Finalist for Liveable Towns Award: This inclusive space

Flood repairs slipping through funding cracks A PARKES water pipeline still lies damaged nearly two years on from the catastrophic November 2022 flood event, because it doesn’t fit funding for disaster recovery.

Eight kilometres of water supply main from Lake Endeavour was destroyed and the Beargamil dam wall damaged in the unprecedented flooding of the night of November 13 to 14, 2022.

Repairs remain unfunded, Parkes Shire Council general manager Kent Boyd has explained, because water supply and sewer infrastructure is not covered by standard State and Commonwealth Disaster Recovery arrangements that cover roads and bridges.

“Water supply and sewer assets ... do not meet the requirements that damaged assets must be owned (or operated) and maintained by state or local government and that in the operation of the asset provides services free of charge or at a rate that is 50 percent or less of the cost to provide those services,” Mr Boyd said.

“Unfortunately, now nearly two years after the catastrophic floods which devastated the Central West of NSW, damaged water and sewer infrastructure remains unfunded.

The Lake Endeavour pipeline was destroyed by the flood event of November 2022.

“Funding of damaged water/ sewer infrastructure now relies solely on direct funding by the NSW Government.”

The issue has ben raised with all levels of government: Member for Orange Philip Donato bringing it to NSW Parliament and our Federal MP Michael McCormack with Senator Perrin Davey touring the site.

It’s an issue that needs to be addressed at a broader level, and Parkes Shire Council has lodged a motion to the Local Government NSW Conference, “That Local Government NSW lobbies the NSW State Government and the Australian Government for explicit inclusion of Water Supply and Sewer Assets in State and Commonwealth Disaster Recov-

ery Funding arrangements.”

Mr Donato has announced he’ll be raising the matter in the next NSW Parliamentary sittings, noting that Parkes and Cabonne shires still require funding for critical water infrastructure damaged in the floods.

Ms Davey, while in Parkes, said it was an issue she’d endeavour to look at.

People at risk during wait for services, inquiry told HUNDREDS of people with disabilities are “languishing” in public hospitals while they wait for adequate support, leaving them vulnerable to harm and infection, an inquiry has been told.

Workforce shortages and a lack of disability accommodation in rural areas has led to an increase in NDIS participants staying in hospital, Western NSW Local Health District chief executive Mark Spittal said.

NSW hospitals had 294 such people yet to be discharged in early October because no NDIS supports were in place or their assessments had not been finalised.

“Hospitals are the providers of last resort for people whose supports have broken down,” Mr Spittal told the federal inquiry

examining the experience of rural NDIS participants in Dubbo on Thursday.

Being in a hospital setting left people with disabilities at greater risk, he said.

“That’s certainly not the place that somebody with a significant disability should be languishing.

“Their risk of acquiring infection, the risk of being marginalised because the acute care needs of somebody else in the ward will take predominance and, as a result, being unintentionally harmed are very, very high.”

An NDIS assessment can take several weeks involving a number of health practitioners at a time when GPs in major regional centres like Dubbo and Orange

had closed their books, he said.

“If you’re a highly complex person with highly-complex disabilities needing access to primary care and you do not already have a (GP), your chances of being able to execute that are virtually zero,” Mr Spittal said.

People living with disabilities in small towns were also having to move and leave their families behind to access specialised support, he said.

Parkes is struggling with a shortage of GPs, while a Salvation Army 70-bed aged care home recently closed.

Several elderly residents had to move to interstate facilities, Parkes Shire Mayor Neil Westcott said.

“There’s just nowhere else for them to attend,” Mr Westcott told the inquiry.

“Doing anything in the regions is seemingly harder.”

The inquiry, which has sat in Darwin, Broome and Canberra, is looking at the experience of rural participants and the availability of supports, including culturally appropriate care for Indigenous people.

Mr Spittal said the committee should consider a model in which health services and non-government organisations pool their disability workforce.

“If we can find far more effective ways to collaborate, to do place-based planning ... we will get benefits for both systems.”

The inquiry will hold a hearing in regional Victoria in November.

What’s included, who is eligible for flood fund

Offer too late: Gee The Resilient Homes package has been described as “too little, too late” for some residents who have already made repairs almost two years on.

Federal Member for Calare Andrew Gee was there Saturday to welcome the housing package but followed it up with a call for more support.

“We are now two years on from the disaster, and many people have already carried out building work which did not include floodproofing because this package wasn’t available then and it’s too late to incorporate it into work now,” he said.

“The retrofitting funding is only for flood-proofing works and won’t cover more general building work that residents need help with such as painting, flooring, plaster boarding and electricals.

“General rebuilding work like this needs to be included with retrospective claims allowed.”

Community leaders sought assurance ongoing cooperation and further funding would be made available to the community if the $40 million housing package was exhausted.

“We do welcome the commencement of this program, and also encourage both the State and Federal Governments to continue to support from the discussions with our local mayors,” Eugowra resident and president of the Progress and Promotion Association Sean Haynes said.

“We do believe that this program will be oversubscribed, and we just ask for their continued

at the centre of the program.

“So it has taken time, and for that now we really want to move forward.”

Our State MP Philip Donato, who has chaired the community leaders forum established when the funding was announced earlier this year, acknowledged the time that has passed since the flood events.

“I’d like to thank the Reconstruction Authority for the work they’ve been doing behind the scenes as well to getting it to this stage,” he said at Saturday’s announcement.

“It’s not lost on me ... it’s been nearly two years, but we’re here now. We’re here to announce that the program opens officially on Monday, and it’s a terrific announcement to be finally able to do that.”

support in funding this program to ensure that all of our residents are able to return to their longterm accommodation.”

NSW Reconstruction Authority CEO Mal Lanyon said part of the community engagement to date had been to understand the demand for the funding.

“With the registrations opening on Monday, we’ll get a better idea of the demand for the program, and we’ll continue to work with government,” he said.

“The scale and complexity of the floods means that the program needs to be designed to actually reflect what the community want.

Matters of State with MP Philip Donato

By PHILIP DONATO, MEMBER FOR ORANGE Over the weekend I joined NSW Emergency Services Minister Jihad Dib at the Eugowra SES HQ for the official handover of a new Gemini inflatable rescue boat, ready for the storm season.

The amazing SES volunteers did an amazing job in rapidly responding to the flood which devastated the town of Eugowra almost two years ago, so it was great to be there and extend our gratitude and provide them with essential equipment to enhance their capability for any future emergency response.

New boats, rescue and storm vehicles and ark angels have been delivered to NSW State Emergency Service (SES) units across the state, including Eugowra,

Canowindra and Molong. I thank Minister Dib for his ongoing support and interest on in our emergency services across the electorate.

RESILIENT HOMES PACKAGE - ANNOUNCED: I was pleased to join with Emergency Services Minister Jihad Dib MP and Federal Senator and Emergency Services Minister Julie McAllister in Eugowra on Saturday, to officially announce the opening of the $40 million Resilient Homes Package for eligible Central West flood-impacted residents. As the chairperson of the Community Leaders Forum, I have worked diligently, in partnership with the NSW Reconstruction Authority, to ensure this package is being rolled out to assist affected residents in moving forward.

WOMEN IN MINING: Last

MP Phil Donato at Eugowra SES with local unit volunteers as well as State Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib and Senator Jenny McAllister.

PHOTO: Supplied Thursday evening I attended the 2024 NSW Mining Annual Parliamentary Dinner, hosted by the NSW Mineral Council at NSW Parliament.

The Orange electorate benefits significantly from mining, which is important to the local economy.

It was great to meet a couple of women who are instrumental to the success of mining in our electorate.

I was honoured to share a table with Newmont Cadia Deputy General Manager Jade Little, and Nadine Heal, Evolution Mining Lake Cowal

Operations Open Pit Supervisor – recipient of the 2024 Outstanding Tradeswoman/ Operator/Technician in Australian Resources Award.

Mines across the electorate provide wonderful and rewarding career opportunities for men and women alike.

ADDRESSING THE STIFF UPPER LIP: MOVEMBER is on its way. Last week I joined fellow members of parliament in promoting this annual awareness and fundraising event - for men’s health. As most of you know I’m pretty passionate about advocating for men’s health, and I try my best to lead by example.

Fellas, we all need to do more to take active steps to look after our own health and not bury our heads in the sand. I implore all men – do not ignore your health!

Ladies, please encourage the men in your lives to prioritise their health, too.

I look forward to seeing men cultivating moustaches during November, raising awareness and funds for men’s health, and a few chuckles too.

Weak ‘n’ wobbly - understanding the causes in pets

By PARKES VET IS your older pet suddenly having difficulties walking?

Senior pets can be at risk of specific age-related issues that can impair their ability to move normally.

There are a few potential causes of sudden changes in your older pet’s mobility.

Spinal Pain - Whilst spinal pain can occur in any pet

(particularly in long-backed breeds such as dachshunds), older pets are at an increased risk of specific spinal issues, including progressive intervertebral disc disease (gradually bulging discs within the spine), spinal tumours and arthritic changes within the bones of the spine.

Pets with spinal issues may show non-specific symptoms

such as a reluctance to move, intermittent yelping, trouble eating and drinking comfortably, or changes in behaviour.

If the spinal cord becomes significantly compressed, these pets may also develop neurological problems, affecting their coordination, leg strength, or continence (ability to control urination or bowel movements).

Degenerative Joint Disease - As well as arthritis of the spine, older pets are also commonly affected by degenerative joint disease (a type of arthritis) in areas such as the hips, knees, and elbows.

Along with general stiffness (particularly after rest), slowing on walks, and sometimes a reluctance to jump up or climb stairs, affected

pets may worsen suddenly after an awkward slip or fall and show significant pain and lameness.

Geriatric Vestibular Disease - Geriatric vestibular disease is when older pets suddenly develop vertigolike symptoms, which usually cause them to have an uncontrollable head tilt and generalised loss of balance.

They may also feel quite nauseous and be reluctant to eat and drink.

The exact cause of this condition is unclear.

If your pet shows a sudden change in their mobility, call us at Parkes Vet today to consult our experienced team promptly.

With the proper support, we can hopefully have your pet back on track quickly!

Morning of learning for Water Week

By MARG APPLEBEE CENTRAL WEST LACHLAN LANDCARE We were so thrilled to welcome back Kindergarten classes to our Kindy Enviro Morning at Kelly Reserve.

We have previously held water focused days at Kelly Reserve with Kindergarten students from the Parkes Shire, but…this time we could also incorporate the Splash Park and share the water story as well!

We were pleased to welcome Parkes Public School, Parkes Christian School, Parkes East Public School, Holy Family Parish School and Bogan Gate Public School to Kelly Reserve for our morning of fun learning about water in Water Week!

In partnership with Parkes Shire Council, Central West Lachlan Landcare were thrilled to host the day with over 150 students joining in educational activities to learn more about looking after our waterways.

Students participated in workshops covering wetlands, water sources, water use, water in min-

Hannah Farrant-Jayet talked to children about our water systems and pollutants, using waterbeads to represent our waste water and water recycling.

Bronte O’Shannessy provided an overview of a beautiful new Splash Park and explained that the components of the splash park represent the many parts of our water system that supports our Shire.

Chris Higgins spoke about the

water requirements for mining, transport of water to the mine and how it is managed to support the delivery of the copper, gold and silver concentrate….I even heard a rumour from one of the children that they are mining diamonds!

Of course, a big thanks to Larry Brandy for also providing a workshop on Wiradjuri culture, which is always fun and interactive.

I had the opportunity to talk about wetlands (and waterways), flagging some of the wetland spaces that we have in our local communities and the important role that they play in absorbing contaminants, slowing the flow of water and providing habitat for local birds, fish and turtles.

All of our presenters backed up after Eco Day the day before. A massive thank you!

We are looking forward to being able to make these workshops accessible to more children in 2025.

This initiative is made possible by the NSW Landcare Enabling Program, a collaboration between Local Land Services and Landcare NSW supported by the NSW Government.

Strong field for stableford PARKES GOLF CLUB NEWS

day.

Gaffney and Clarke winners for Josh Cheney Building 4BBB ingOnforthemostshortof the 17th Ian was

By PETER BRISTOL Saturday’s Results Saturday was the Josh Cheney Building 4BBB Stableford event, and it enjoyed a good crowd of 84 starters.

Josh is a sometime star on the course when commitments permit, but always a great supporter of the club and its endeavours.

A sincere thank you for the ongoing support to the PGC. Not only did Josh put up the prizes he put a perfect day for golfers to show their prowess.

Logan and Brenton have the greens coming back to their best after their renovations whilst at the same time getting them ready for the GolfNSW Regional Championships on November 9-10.

There was an appreciable lift in speed from last week after the roller was in use on Thursday.

The team winners on the day were the pairing of Aaron Gaffey and Matt Clarke.

They amassed a 49 point haul, a great score on the day, but they then had to survive a countback from the regular pairing of Ron Hetherington and Trevor Chatman.

Matt and Aaron were playing the power game as always but found some finesse around the greens to create the great score they had.

Trevor was in vintage form and was getting playing mate Ron in the slipstream as well.

Two very good rounds.

Next best were the pairing of Ken Keith and Luke Clyne on 47 and they were disappointed to lose the lottery ticket to Ron and Trevor on the day.

In the individual stakes the hot hands of Trevor Chatman provide too good for the field with his 43 points defeating Aaron Gaffey by a single point.

Trevor has been hiding his true ability on his last few outings but definitely has been building to something big. He started off with 5 pars, then realised he’d break his handicap by too many and had 4 bogeys – a great 40 off the stick.

On the back 9 it was a mixed bag with a couple of double bogeys but a birdie

the only one to remain on the green from the tee and his putting ensured another hole.

Onto the last hole, and Jake managed to find enough power to hit 2 long shots to the green’s edge then close out with a par and take the hole.

All in all, a great day with golf the winner apart from Ian Phipps who came out on top and is going back to the National Finals again.

Jake wisely saving himself for the last few holes, where the most money laid, came in 2nd, with Col just edging out Matt.

VETERANS GOLF

Scott Winter, Dave Chambers, Mick Della Ca and Pup Parker were ready to hit the course. in a 42 haul, a fine 82 off the stick. Aaron had 3 birdies and 7 bogeys in a round off 76 off his 10 handicap.

His back 9 was a par round which was very commendable. No doubt the handicapper didn’t miss this round.

The chasers were many, but Ron Hetherington and Matthew Spedding stood out with their 41’s.

Both had 3 birdies with Ron having 7 bogeys and Matthew 8. Ron had an accurate 78 off the stick off his 10 handicap and Matthew his best round ever of 81 off his 14 handicap.

The Nearest The Pins on Saturday were –The Idlerite 1st by Bernie King at 345cm, Griffins Leading Edge 4th

by Reggie Murray at 17cm, Parkes Ready Mixed Concrete 9th by Cooper Giddings at 190cm, the Harvey Norman 11th by Trevor Chatman at 122cm, the 17th

The winner of the lucky

The Handiskins final was contested on the great PGC layout on Sunday with a perfect day for the finalists.

This year’s final, as always, was a good mix of skill, guile and handicaps.

Jake Thompson was the scratch marker for the day, with the old fox Ian Phipps off 2, Matt Knighton resting back on 10 and Col Breaden the long marker on 13.

The event started off with a couple of squared holes as the nerves cleared and the bodies started to loosen up. On the 3rd hole Ian’s strengths started to show up with his ‘down the centre, chip and putt’ combo coming

to the fore.

On the short 4th Ian was the only one to hit the green, but his tee shot rolled off the green a few centimetres but left him a much easier putt to take this hole as well.

The 5th was squared then Matt kicked into gear on the 6th. Suffering from the after effects of a flu bug he managed the hole with a long drive then a ‘beside the green’ second and a 2 putt.

Matt then drove wide right on the 7th but once again got to the green and with a shot up his sleeve managed to take the prize. On the long 8th Ian was again down the middle and couldn’t be matched as the others sprayed shots about and with Ian having a shot up his sleeve the hole was his.

The ninth was squared and down the 10th all drove well but Matt with a stroke in hand was too good as Ian missed a short putt for a square.

PHOTO: Jenny Kingham The 11th hole was squared with Col hitting to about half a metre then missing the birdie putt and Mr Reliable getting his after also hitting the green. Col did win the NTP for this hole though.

On the 12th, once again, Ian was monotonous in finding the fairway and getting to the green, albeit sometimes for an extra shot, with the other 3 getting a shot he was still too good on this hole. The 13th was squared.

On the 14th Col hit 2 great shots to get to the green and then 2 putted for a par, plus receiving a stroke on the hole, making him unbeatable. The 15th was squared so onto the 16th.

We finally got a sight of Jake on this hole with a great drive, then hitting the green and just rolling off for a good par. Jake had been suffering with a tight back and his power game had been miss-

Steve Edwards is one of the better supporters of twintowns veterans golf and received rewards last Thursday winning with a well compiled 38 points on his adopted ‘home’ course Forbes.

PB AND SC WOMEN’S BOWLS

By MEADOW LEA A week out from the Cup and the local fillies were set for their final jump out before the big day.

Numbers were up, the day perfect, track set for recordbreaking sprints! Thanks Brett n Col, busy repairing the track after the weekend meet!

Main event today, the Minor Singles Hurdle, had Oh Carol up against Logical Lynnie.

The latter mare missed the start and found herself several lengths behind. With every jump, Oh Carol surged 3 or 4 paces further ahead, the race was over by the halfway mark. Lieutenant Liz kept a tight rein on their antics.

Oh Carol will be freshened

when she meets Nifty Nat in the Group One final!

Handicapper, Krackpot Kimmy, earned her stripe today, with every race resulting in a photo finish.

A field of six contested the Bushman’s Bash Handicap over 18 furlongs. Swampy Sue was ably supported by Flighty Fran & Valmai’s Venture, each of them nosing ahead at some stage of the race. Betsy’s Blaze, Jammin Jan and Born-to-sing Brenda were in the mix, but were staring at tails the whole race, going down by a nostril, 15 – 14.

Another field of six, in the Not-Quite-A-Maiden Plate, had Michelle’s Magic, Meadow Lea and Cherie Amour swapping the lead with Lilly Pilly, Crimson Rose and Lorraine’s Liability as the race progressed.

Neither stable would surrender the prize, a lucky 3 at the 16-furlong peg by Cherie Amour’s group being the crux of their win, again by a short nose, 14 – 13.

The 13-furlong GoodbyeOctober Stakes was also a close photo finish. MaBelle Nell, Gwenda’s Gold, Kodak Kay and Jackpot Joannie grouped tightly, allowing no space for Frances’ Folly, Agent Ann & Mevrouw Marja to find a way through.

In the straight, the latter group made some ground, the post came too quickly, they lost by a nostril hair, 11 – 10.

A few curious stayers, out for a spell, watched from over the fence. Modest Maureen, Rhona’s Resilience and Mezzmerising took a break from the stables to rate the gallops.

Next Tuesday, November 5, will see our club rockin’!

Come along for mufti bowls at 10 am, two-course lunch and ALL the fun of the Melbourne Cup, building up to the race at 3 pm. Names at the bar - ASAP.

Asha’s serving hope with sport

By MADELINE BLACKSTOCK Asha Munodawafu’s commitment and dedication to tennis and the community has not gone unrecognised with the young athlete being awarded the 2024 Young Volunteer Achievement Award at the recent Tennis NSW Awards.

Asha has been a valuable member of the Parkes Tennis Club over the past 12 months, coaching younger athletes, attending a variety of Tennis Australia Youth Programs and founding The Hey Sis Project with Asha creating an inclusive group of girls full of empowerment and positivity.

The Young Volunteer Achievement Award honours volunteers within tennis who foster relationships within and between their club and the community, recognising the contribution volunteers make to the sport.

“Receiving this award is an amazing feeling. It’s a real honour to be recognised for my contributions to the tennis community, and it inspires me to continue volunteering and making a meaningful impact,” Asha said.

Asha Munodawafu was awarded the Young Volunteer Achievement Award at the “There are so many young recent Tennis NSW awards night.

dedicated volunteers out there, so being selected was a pleasant surprise. It just goes to show that hard work and passion don’t go unnoticed.”

Asha is now the NSW entrant into the Tennis Australia Awards for the Young Volunteer Achievement award.

“Being the NSW entrant for the Australian award feels surreal!” she said.

“It’s a huge achievement and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent our state. It motivates me to continue my efforts and encourages others to get involved.

“Volunteering is crucial for building a strong and supportive tennis community. It fosters connections, promotes inclusivity and helps grow the sport.

“Every little bit of time and effort contributes to creating a welcoming environment for players of all ages and skill levels,” Asha added.

Asha is now busy planning her next Hey Sis Project where everyone is welcome to attend.

The event, ‘Rallying against Breast Cancer’, will be raising money for the McGrath Foundation.

“We’re serving up hope on the tennis court as part of the Hey Sis Project to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research, support and education.

“I want to raise money for the McGrath Foundation because their mission to ensure that no one faces breast cancer without the support of a McGrath breast care nurse is vital.”

The event is on Saturday, November 9 at the Parkes Tennis Courts from 1-4pm.

The afternoon will be full of matches, inspiring stories and a strong sense of community.

The theme is ‘pink is the colour we care’ so make sure to have your best pink outfit on as there will be prizes for best dressed.

To register and pay $5 per person please contact Asha on 0466417716 by November 6.

If you can’t make it but still want to support the cause head to the fundraising page via pinkisthecolour.com.au/fundraisers/ httpswwwtheheysisprojectcom “It’s crucial to raise awareness and funds for this important cause, and I believe that every effort we make can truly make a difference in people’s lives,” she said.

Casey captains Australia to gold

By MADELINE BLACKSTOCK Representing your country in the sport you love is an opportunity of a lifetime, and one that could easily have been passed up

by Parkes athlete, mum and businesswoman, Casey Miles.

But when a friend asked her what story do you want to tell your kids, she knew she had to take the opportunity - and she did just that, captaining the Australian side to a gold medal win in South Africa.

Casey asked herself “Do I want to tell them (her kids) the amazing experience I had playing hockey overseas or do I want to tell them that I’d put it in the too hard basket?”

“So I bit the bullet, I went and it was definitely worth it because I had an amazing time,” Casey said.

Casey was selected in the Australian team after representing NSW at the national championships in Perth last year.

From there two teams were picked to represent Australia in Cape Town, South Africa, where one team contested the World Cup and the other the International Masters Cup. Casey was part of the Australian Women’s Over 35 team that competed in the International Masters Cup, coming up against some of the best teams in the sport who were competing for the World Cup. Casey was also chosen by her teammates and coaches to be their captain for the tournament when they arrived in Cape Town.

“That was a nice honour and with my two vice captains, Jackie and Tess from Queensland and Victoria, it was an easy job because it was such a good bunch of girls,” she said.

The first game Casey captained for Australia was up against Argentina.

“Our first game was Argentina and I thought they were going to wipe the turf with our blood but it was a really good game, we held really well walking away with a 2-0 loss,” she said.

“We then played the South African first tier team and they actually won the World Cup, they absolutely annihilated us 8-0 and then we played Ireland which we probably should have won but our team

The team changed things up a bit from there, and Casey said the team really started to connect and it showed with a 4-1 win against the USA. “Our last game was against Zimbabwe and we won that 3-0,” she added.

Casey then captained the team to a gold medal win in the gold medal match against the second tier South African team.

“They were still really good, I think it was nil all or 1-nil at half time, we had a lot of opportunities in the game, we just weren’t finding the back of the board,” Casey said.

“Once that first goal came we scored some impressive goals.”

Casey said it was tournament that was very hard on the body physically, mentally and emotionally.

“You give it all you’ve got for two weeks and then when the final buzzer goes there’s this relief of ‘thank god that’s over, my body’s had it’, but it’s also we went over there to do a job and we succeeded so that was a very rewarding experience.

“I was honoured to be made captain and to get that gold medal in my first year it’s really something else, it probably hasn’t sunk in yet.”

Playing for Australia isn’t new for Casey as she played for Australia in

the country team in 2015 and 2016.

She has also played hockey around the world including Malaysia, Singapore and a tour around New Zealand.

“Playing for Australia in the Masters grade is new to me and just knowing I still have something to offer the sport, which is always nice, just because you get older doesn’t mean you have to give it up,” she said.

“It’s always an honour to represent the green and gold, we had a lot of Australian supporters come over to South Africa as well which made it good from the sideline perspective.”

This year Casey also competed in

Sydney at the National Championships where she was picked in the Trans Tasman squad.

A team from the squad will be announced at the end of the year and will compete next year against New Zealand in a three game tournament.

“Hockey is a sport you play for love, there’s not a lot of money in it,” she said. “It’s been a hard couple of years saving for it with the business and having a young family.

“Trying to prepare for an international tournament is hard work and it’s very time consuming so to come home with the gold medal is something that I can tell my kids about in years to come.”
