Lights “Beneath the Brim” out as fundraiser rides storms lash into town central west By TESS VAN LUBECK
BARELY a month after storms caused considerable havoc across the state, the Central West and other parts of NSW were again lashed by powerful storms on Sunday night, February 9, and Monday morning, February 10. Severe storm alerts issued on Sunday afternoon by NSW Incident Alerts forecast thunderstorms across the central eastern inland and south-east of the state, forewarning of damaging winds, hail and localised heavy rain expected across a large swathe of the state from the Victorian border up through the centre of NSW to well north of Dubbo.
LIFELONG horse-lover Sarah Wheeler has turned a family tragedy into an inspiring story of resilience, courage, and caring. Last Saturday, Warren enjoyed a visit from Ms Wheeler for her “Beneath the Brim” charity ride. Local mother and daughter duo, Joelene Gibson and Peyton Callaghan, joined Ms Wheeler as she rode into town. The epic nine-month journey on horseback aims to raise awareness and money to combat the debilitating disease known as upper gastrointestinal cancer. Fundraising for two charities, the “Pancare Foundation” and “A Daughter’s Way”, the ride is also a healing journey for Ms Wheeler after the double tragedy of losing both parents. It is also a way to honour their memory.

The NRLW Indigenous All Stars visited Trangie in December last year.
By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN JESS Skinner continues to put Trangie on the map, the local rugby league legend selected as the interim Jillaroos coach ahead of the team’s history-making clash against England in Las Vegas.
History-making test match BORN and raised in Trangie and still residing in the small rural Central West town today, Jess Skinner will be a world away from her muchloved community when she enters Allegiant Stadium on March 1.
From page 1 Skinner was named as interim coach on Friday, February 7, after Brad Donald’s resignation as head coach of the Jillaroos. She will be heading the Jillaroos squad in an historic test match against England in the NRL’s second venture to the United States to start the NRL season. The proud Barkindiji and Wongaibon woman was the 2024 NRLW Indigenous All Stars head coach and was previously involved with the First Nations Gems and NRL Indigenous Women’s Academy, as well as the Prime Minister’s XIII, Newcastle Knights, and as an assistant in the national team set up. It is not the fi rst time Skinner has mm. Chance of any rain: 20% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of a shower.

Overnight temperatures falling to between 18 and 21 with daytime temperatures reaching the low to mid 30s. Sun protection recommended from 9:20 am to 5:20 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 12 [Extreme] Friday, February 14 Min 22. Max 31. Showers. Possible rainfall: 0 to 9 mm.

made history; she became the fi rst ever female to lead the NRLW Indigenous All Stars. In December last year, Skinner brought the Indigenous All Stars squad out to Trangie to give players an opportunity to connect with the communities they represented on the field. Her promotion to interim coach of the Jillaroos means she will represent the Trangie community on the world stage – a reminder that nothing is unachievable. “It is hard to get to this elite level, but is not unachievable,” she told the Narromine Star in December last year. “They can still achieve it with dedication and hard work with a lot of sacrifice.” “For me it is about visibility – that anything is possible and you know, hopefully inspire at least one young boy or girl, Indigenous or non-Indigenous, to go ‘I can do that one day too’.”
Brad Donald calls full-time after nearly a decade at the helm SKINNER takes the place of Brad Donald, who resigned as the coach of the Australian women’s representative side after nine years at the helm. The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) confi rmed his departure on Friday, February 7.
thunderstorm. Winds north to northeasterly 25 to 35 km/h tending northeast to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h during the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 19 and 22 with daytime temperatures reaching around 30. Sun protection recommended from 9:20 am to 5:20 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 12 [Extreme] Saturday, February 15 Min 18. Max 29. Showers. Possible rainfall: 0 to 2 mm.

Chance of any rain: 10%
“The ARLC acknowledges and thanks Brad for his extensive efforts in coaching and elevating the Jillaroos to the position they are in as the number-one ranked team in the world and World Cup champions,” an NRL statement read. Donald was in the top job for Australia’s World Cup wins in 2017 and 2022, and at one stage took the Jillaroos on a seven-year, 15-match unbeaten run before his sole loss as coach to New Zealand came in 2023. It follows reports from late January this year that Donald’s future as head coach was under threat after the NRL prepared to finalise an investigation into a disparaging comment allegedly made in front of players. Donald endured a turbulent few months after making headlines in October of last year when he controversially dropped Dally M medallist Olivia Kernick from his Pacific Championships Squad. According to reports by the Australian Associated Press (AAP), another alleged incident was subject to an internal NRL investigation involving the league’s human resources department since the Pacific Championships tournament that took place in late October last year. Donald was expected to be at the helm for when the Jillaroos played a one-off test against England in Las Vegas in March up until he resigned late last week.

“Beneath the Brim” fundraiser rides into town From page 1 “Back in 2010 my father passed away from an enlarged heart at 46,” Ms Wheeler explained. “My sisters, Mum, and I continued to run our family farm for 14 years, before my Mum was diagnosed with cancer in February 2022,” she told the Warren Star. “She tragically passed away five months later, so I decided to buy two horses and set off on a 5500-kilometre horse trek around NSW and Queensland to honour my parents’ memory and their love of horses,” she added. With her two mounts, “Sally” and “Shifty”, Ms Wheeler has travelled from as far north as Sedan (near Mt Isa) back through Marborough, Caulfield, Aramac, Jericho, Alpha, Springsure, and Roma in Queensland, to Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, and then out to Hay. “Now we’re back on the home-stretch going through Hilton, Tottenham, and now here we are in Warren with 350 kilometres left to go, Ms Wheeler said. So far, her endeavours have raised $230,000 with a goal to reach $250,000 in the last two weeks before reaching her hometown of Rowena.
Naturally the trip has not been without challenges, Ms Wheeler told the Warren Star. “This morning was very interesting. At 2.30am I saw the cops go past, they were looking in the bushes with a spotlight,” she recalled. “Then the support vehicle wouldn’t turn on, and then my head torch went flat and I had to juggle two horses and my phone light to see where I was going,” she added. One of the difficulties of the past few months has also been the effect of daily riding in our hot western summers for her horses. “I started to ride at night, starting every morning at 2am, and I ride until 9:30am, making it a 35 km day. She had previously spent the night at a successful fundraising function in Nyngan, she revealed. “We had a great night in Nyngan, raising $12,400 with around 200 people in attendance” Ms Wheeler said. In Warren, a decent throng of locals gathered at Ellerslie Lane cafe to welcome her and her team. If you’d like to contribute to the cause, follow Ms Wheeler via The Outback Long Ride website.

Country mayors welcome improved engagement with police minister THE Country Mayors Association of NSW (CMA) chairman, Temora Shire mayor Cr Rick Firman OAM, and its executive board have welcomed verbal commitments from the NSW police minister to improve her connectivity with the peak representative body of rural and regional mayors across the state. In a press release last week, the CMA said the state’s police minister Yasmin Catley had committed to further engagement, including an online meeting with country mayors. In a lengthy phone call, Minister Catley committed to an online meeting with association members, together with Deputy (Police) Commissioner Paul Pisanos, Cr Firman said. “Both the minister and the deputy commissioner indicated that they would like to be guest speakers at our ‘Crime, Law and Order’ meeting in NSW Parliament House on August 8,” he explained. “The minister generously acknowledged a need for improved communication channels, and we had a frank, pos-

including crime.” Cr Firman also spoke about crime rates and impacts across the state. “We know the crime trends in certain parts of the state and the emotions associated with that impact on local citizens,” Cr Firman said. “Many rural and regional local government areas have ex-
perienced rising crime rates or trends worse than Sydney. There is an inequity of resources, both in policing and preventative or interventionist programs,” he added. C r F i r m a n a l s o ac k nowle d g e d c r i me i s not a m ajor i s sue i n a l l t he C M A c om mu n it ie s . “Our CMA board and members acknowledge it’s not all bad across the state, in terms of crime rates,” he said. “However, where there are issues, our CMA board and members all wish to help be part of any solutions that will assist those who need it.” Cr Firman said that beyond the crime data, fear of crime impacts upon quality of life. “If we have residents afraid to leave their homes after dark, then there is work to be done. Police and country councils must continue to work together,” he added. The NSW government’s “community safety in regional and rural communities” inquiry was a major lobbying project supported by the CMA. With 196 submissions
received by May 31, 2024, demand saw the number of hearings held and the overall timeline expanded. CMA executive board member and mayor of Tamworth Regional Council, Cr. Russell Webb, will provide in-person evidence to the inquiry on February 24. The fi rst report from the inquiry is scheduled to be released on May 30 this year, with the fi nal report on November 30, Cr Firman said. He added the CMA’s August 8 meeting will be well placed to follow up and discuss the preliminary report, and that the body looks forward to hearing minister Catley’s and deputy commissioner Pisanos’ reactions and insights ‘fi rst-hand’. “CMA members have and always will be strong supporters and allies of our NSW police force. We will continue to support and work beside minister Catley, our government and the NSW Police Force to do all we can to assist”, Cr Firman concluded.
Be ‘mozzie-aware’: Japanese Encephalitis is about
The RFDS reminds the community about the presence of Japanese Encephalitis and the availability of a vaccination for this disease. PHOTO: PIXABAY.
THE Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has warned the community about the danger of Japanese Encephalitis (JE), which is a rare but potentially serious mosquito-borne disease. While most people who contract the disease will not experience symptoms, those who do are at risk of experiencing severe disease and neurological complications, so it is important for the community to
be protected from this virus, the RFDS says. “Since vaccines became available in 2023 for residents in high-risk areas of NSW, the RFDS has played an active role in protecting the community from JE, and we continue to provide these services through our clinics in the West and Far West NSW,” said Dr Shannon Nott, Chief Medical Officer, South Eastern Section. Formerly the Rural Health Director of Medical Services for Western NSW Local Health District (LHD), the largest health district geographically in NSW covering more than 250,000 km2 and home to more than 276,000 people, Dr Nott encourages people across the region to remain aware. “With the likelihood of increased cases in 2025 following recent detection of the virus in the Moree, Griffith and Narromine Shire regions of NSW, we are encouraging the community to take early and proactive steps to protect them-
selves from this virus and monitor for symptoms,” Dr Nott explained. JE is spread by mosquitos who have bitten an animal (such as a pig) carrying the virus and then biting a human. It is important to know that humans cannot contract JE from another human or catch the virus by touching an infected animal or by eating animal products. Those who are most at risk of catching JE are those who work or do outside activities like hiking, camping, fishing, or gardening, or those who work or live close to piggeries. While most people will be asymptomatic to JE, one in every 250 people may experience a severe infection, the RFDS says. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the symptoms and contact your doctor you experience any of the following symptoms: f fever f headache f vomiting f neck stiffness
f disorientation f tremors f coma f seizures f paralysis
How to protect against JE SO what can you do to protect yourself and reduce the risk of contracting JE? The RFDS has this advice. Warren Shire Council also has some tips for staying mozzie-safe in its Council Column on page 5.
Avoid getting bitten! MOSQUITOES may not only carry JE but other viruses that cause disease in humans such as Ross River, Barmah Forest and, rarely, the virus that causes Murray Valley encephalitis and Kunjin, so it is important to protect yourself against all mosquito bites.
Cover up, Spray up, Clean up WEAR long sleeved clothing when undertaking activities or work outdoors, apply mosquito repellent to exposed areas of skin when outdoors, particularly at dawn and dusk when mosquitos are most active, and reduce mosquito activity by emptying or cleaning up containers of water left outside.
Get vaccinated A SAFE and effective vaccine for JE is available free of charge through your local RFDS clinic. You only need to be vaccinated once, and a booster is not generally required. Contact your local RFDS clinic to book your JE vaccination. If you are not an RFDS patient, contact your regular doctor. The NSW Health website also has further information about Japanese Encephalitis.

RAIN AND FLOODS MAKE OUR HOMES A BREEDING GROUND FOR MOZZIES Flood water and pools of stagnant water from recent rain have turned many backyards into the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, that spread human disease, such as Murray Valley encephalitis and Ross River virus. Any still or stagnant water around the home can encourage mosquitoes to breed and increase the chance of people being bitten. Most mosquitoes become active around dusk although some species are active also during the day. The key time to take special care again mosquito bites is just prior to, and for two hours after dusk.

IT is with great pleasure that Alex and Jenny Brooker of Warren announce the engagement of their son Peter to Lucy Moore, daughter of Alec and Jo Moore of ‘Weerangourt’, Byaduk, Victoria.
Both families are thrilled and wish the happy couple all the best for a wonderful life ahead. The Warren Star also offers its congratulations to Peter and Lucy and look forward to publishing
some of the wedding photos when that happy occasion takes place. Are you getting engaged or married? Why not let us know here at the Warren Star so we can share the good news.
CONTROVERSY has been running over the unexpected impact of the government’s shut-down last year of the former 3G mobile phone network and its effect on regional areas. Below is the opening statement by National Farmers’ Federation general manager of rural affairs, Charlotte Wundersitz, who appeared before a senate inquiry last week on the issue: “The livelihoods of Australian farming families are intrinsically tied to accessible, reliable, affordable, and high-quality connectivity. “Telstra and Optus commenced the shutdown of their respective 3G mobile networks in October 2024, with a promise to consumers of equivalent or improved coverage. Three months later, Australian farmers are not convinced that the major providers have delivered on that promise. “The NFF continues to hear widespread reports of reduced service availability and quality. Farmers are reporting that overall service quality has diminished post-shutdown; that includes more calls dropping out, cutting in and out, slow download speeds or no ability to load internet at all. “The loss of fortuitous coverage, that is ‘bonus coverage’ that was available with 3G turned on but not guaranteed after the shutdown, has been significant. Areas, and in some cases entire properties, which had mostly reliable coverage have now become blackspots. “Farmers have been left with no choice but to fork out for expensive boosters, antennas – those who already had appropriate equipment have spent countless hours navigating complex software upgrades – and even after all of that many are still fi nding very basic connectivity a challenge. “We have said repeatedly that the situation on the ground is a safety issue and a productivity issue. With the shutdown coinciding with both harvest and fi re danger season, rural communities are bearing the full weight of this fact. “To provide some examples, grain producer Scott Loughnan
from Muckadilla, Queensland, cites significant issues post shutdown on the Warrego Highway, which has impacted local farmers’ ability to communicate while carting grain during harvest. In time sensitive periods such as harvest, the ramifications of not being able to communicate can be significant and costly. “A mixed livestock and cropping farmer from southern NSW reports that they have been told they are in a guaranteed coverage area, yet consistently have dropouts. “Between purchasing a celfi booster and upgrading farm equipment they estimate to have spent between $10,000-20,000 as a result of the 3G shutdown. “The Knuth family run a cattle operation out of Charters Towers. They can currently only make reliable calls on 20 per cent of their property, in comparison to about 90 per cent prior to the shutdown. A lack of reliable mobile coverage during calving made it difficult them to call for help, and reduced the efficiency of their operation. “As foreshadowed by the NFF and others throughout this inquiry, despite the gravity of concern we’re hearing, rural Australians don’t believe that reporting issues to their provider will lead to solutions. Put simply, people don’t want to sit on hold for hours only to be told that they need to purchase more equipment or, worse, there is nothing to be done. “This isn’t the fi rst major telecommunications transition in Australia, and it certainly won’t be the last. We cannot accept rural consumers as collateral damage of a process which fi rst and foremost benefits city residents and providers’ bottom lines. “The NFF made a commitment to hold providers accountable through this transition, and that’s what we will continue to do. “The status quo is not good enough. We acknowledge the launch of Telstra’s 3G hotline last week, a welcome starting point to addressing the concerns of their customers. We will continue to call on all providers to step up, get out in rural communities and address these concerns.”

Innovative program to connect seniors in Warren

By SHARON BONTHUYS WARREN’S senior citizens are set to benefit from an innovative program to be implemented by Warren Shire Council. Council was recently awarded $840,000 through the NSW Government’s Connecting Seniors Grant Program for an initiative to support community connectivity and combat social isolation experienced by older people. One of just eight projects to be selected for support under this program, Warren Shire’s Stay Connected, Stay Curious: A Senior-Friendly Path to Regional Discovery project is a “multi-dimensional social inclusion initiative” seeking to transform Warren Shire into a vibrant hub for senior engagement. Through regular small group gatherings held at the Library and Visitor Information Centre — already a central gathering place for many older residents — seniors will enjoy a welcoming space where they can interact with others, undertake interesting interactive activities, and form lasting relationships and friendships in the process. Activities will be designed to be tailored, accessible, inclusive, and engaging, while inter-generational events will
help bridge gaps between older and younger residents. Acting General Manager of Warren Shire Council, Stephen Glen, expressed his support for council’s commitment to this innovative and community-focused initiative. “It’s an honour to be leading a council that prioritises innovative ideas and programs designed to enhance the lives of our residents,” he said. His sentiments were echoed by library manager, Erica Kearnes. “We’re incredibly proud to have been selected for this funding and to be working together to bring such a unique opportunity to Warren,” Ms Kearnes said. “We hope this is just the start of many exciting initiatives that strengthen our community and make Warren a better place for all residents,” she added.
Engagement activities A COLLABORATION between Warren Shire Library and council’s Economic Development and Visitation Office, the unique Stay Connected, Stay Curious project combines cutting-edge Tovertafel technology — a fi rst for the Central West. Already a success interna-
tionally, this technology is designed to stimulate cognitive and social activity, and will make its debut in Warren through this initiative, offering activities that benefit both seniors and intergenerational groups. Interactive activities to be offered as part of the program include a “Memory Café” and “Pen Pals with Purpose”, which aim to create an engaging platform for seniors to connect, share stories, and contribute to the shire’s cultural and social fabric. The Memory Café will enable participants to create audio and written postcards based on their memories, encouraging social interaction and mental stimulation. The story-telling initiative also allows participants to share their rich histories, strengthening their sense of identity and connection to the community. By creating a digital archive of audio and written postcards, “Voices of Our Town”, the initiative will not only engage seniors, but also create a unique cultural asset for Warren Shire, the council says. These postcards will serve as a warm welcome for visitors and new residents, blending social engagement with regional tourism promotion.

“A sense of belonging” COUNCIL’S economic development and visitation manager, Susan Balogh, also emphasised the importance of this initiative in building a sense of belonging for all shire residents. “This project is about creating those connections that are the core of our town and ensuring every resident, no matter their age, feels valued and included,” she said. “Our visitors are always looking to learn about and appreciate our shire, through the lens of our local community. By receiving voice or written postcards on their arrival, travellers will feel an immediate sense of being welcome hearing about favourite spots and memories from our locals will heighten their sense of interest in learning more. We are thrilled to bring this innovative program to our community,” Ms Balogh added. Ms Kearnes highlighted the library’s role as a central gathering place for the shire’s senior residents. “The library has always been a safe, welcoming space for our over-65 community,” she said. “This program takes that connection to a new level by incorporating advanced
tools like Tovertafel and initiatives like the Memory Café and Pen Pals with Purpose,” Ms Kearnes added. “Together, we’re not just fighting isolation—we’re creating lasting friendships and a rich archive of local stories and memories for future generations to cherish.” Council is also excited to host themed events such as “Story Circles” and “Postcard with Purpose” sessions, further connecting seniors to their community.
Program launch
COUNCIL will host a community event at the Warren Shire Library in the near future to formally launch the program, and invites residents, retirement village members, and nursing home staff to experience the Tovertafel technology firsthand and learn more about the initiative’s regular activities. Mr Glen also invites the community to become involved in the innovative program. “The Stay Connected, Stay Curious initiative is a shining example of how we can address key community needs while fostering a sense of belonging and pride in Warren,” Mr Glen concluded.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP
Federal member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, returned to Canberra for the first parliamentary sitting fortnight of 2025. PHOTO: PARKES
Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
ELECTORATE.
Return to parliament PARLIAMENT returned for the fi rst sitting fortnight of 2025 last week. It was a bittersweet week for me, marked by the reality that it was my last ‘fi rst week’ back in Canberra. Speculation on when the election will be 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. It is clear that the Labor government has realised, on the slim chance that they do win the election, they’ll have nothing to do because they have spent their entire term in government happily announcing and opening projects which were funded by the previous coalition government. I suggested to the house that they could maybe have a sod-fi lling ceremony for the section of Inland Rail that they stalled; they could also have a game of cricket on the parched cotton fields where water has been diverted to win South Australian senate votes; or perhaps they could even try beating a road train across the Newell Highway where funding was cut for the $44 million overpass at Moree. These suggestions were unfortunately laughed off by those in government, because they are only interested in opportunities which make themselves look good. The truth is Labor only cares about making promises and then fails to deliver. On Wednesday I also took the opportunity to speak in the Federation Chamber on
the closure of Wee Waa Hospital. The community of Wee Waa have been very angry and upset by the decision, and despite reassurances from the independent state member and the NSW health minister, there appears to be no action by Hunter New England Health. It’s time for the leadership of Hunter New England Health to get their skates on, get in the car and come to Wee Waa to fi nd 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.
Free student broadband extended WITH many across the electorate already back in school or about to start school this week, now is a great time to remind families of the School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI). Through this initiative the Australian government aims to bridge the digital divide and expand educational opportunities for students who do not have home internet access. I am pleased to see SSBI has been extended, now offering
free home internet to eligible families until June 30, 2028. To qualify, participants must: f Have a child living at home that is enrolled in an Australian school; f Not have an active NBN network internet service at home or in the past 14 days (having a mobile internet service does not affect eligibility); and, f Live in a premises that can access the NBN network. This extension is available to all eligible families, whether they are existing participants of SSBI or new to the program. Only 30,000 places
are available.
2025 NAIDOC Grants APPLICATIONS for the 2025 NAIDOC Local Grants are now open to provide a co-contribution to the cost of activities and events being held around National NAIDOC Week (July 6 to 13, 2025). Activities and events should align with the annual National NAIDOC Week theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy’.

empowers Lights out as Scholarship Aboriginal creativity storms lash central west
This was the warning shared on social media by NSW Incident Alerts on Sunday, February 9. PHOTO: NSW INCIDENT ALERTS. From page 1 Thousands of residents across the region lost power on Sunday night as wild electrical storms battered multiple communities including Nevertire, Warren, Narromine, Trangie. Many regained power in the early hours of Monday morning, but some areas were still dealing with outages on Monday afternoon. At the time of writing on Monday night, Essential Energy was
still dealing with a power outage at Nevertire, which experienced extensive damage from what some locals in the region called a “mini-cyclone”. “Nevertire has been hit bad once again. Power down too. Here we go again,” commented Cr Pauline Serdity on social media on Sunday night. How did you fare in this week’s wild storms? The Warren Star would love to see your photos.

Sport Warren Junior Soccer look forward to another great season By JEN STACEY WARREN Junior Soccer fi nished off an amazing 2024 season and look forward to another great year ahead. Here’s a recap in case you missed it at the time! Last August, we concluded the season with a Zone presentation event. In a competition consisting of Nyngan, Warren, and Tottenham teams playing in all three grades, it is always a great zone to contest. For the second year in a row, Warren Seniors took the Zone shield, ending the season undefeated. Warren senior Ben Brown took home the Best and Fairest trophy, with Nyngan’s Bella Wardman receiving Most Improved, while Tottenham’s Adam Marsden took out the Players’ Player award. The Warren Mids were a force for the year by fielding two teams against Nyngan and Tottenham. Nyngan, however, took home the Mids’ shield with a fantastic season. Warren again won with the Best and Fairest going to Memphis Ley, Nyngan’s Marllie Cook won Most Improved, and the Players Player gong went to Tottenham’s Annalise Klante. Minis, as always, were an amazing bunch of upand-comers, keeping all the coaches and volunteers on their toes with their willingness to go
hard in every match. Our own presentation event was held in October at the sporting complex, starting with a few games of indoor soccer with the kids taking on the adults. We’d love to say the kids took it easy on the volunteers and parents/ caregivers, but they surely did not! It was a memorable day that is sure to happen again in the future
The awards for Mids included: f Most Improved — Sophia McCalmen and Hunter Leske. f Most Consistent — Christopher Ley and Tiffany Conrads. f Players’ Player — Billie Lummis-Farrar and Dylan John Paul.

The awards for Seniors were: f Most Improved — Polo Villegas. f Most Consistent — Eli Clarke. f Players Player — Justine Conrads. Warren Junior Soccer also acknowledges the efforts of our committee, coaches, and parents/ caregivers for their constant support throughout the year. We’re also grateful to Warren Council for having Carter Oval up and running for the 2024 Season. With the newly-fi nished canteen and storage area now complete, 2025 is set to be an even bigger season.

IT’S on again — the Warren Community Triathlon is back and you’re invited! Organisers are calling all would-be triathletes to sign up and get training for this beloved local event to be held at the end of March. Now in its 14th year, the event continues to go from strength to strength and recently was recognised with the 2025 Australia Day award for the Sportsperson of the Year, recognising the efforts of the volunteer contingent behind the event. With categories to suit all athletic abilities and interests, there is no excuse not to sign up and have a go! Competitors can elect to enter the “Mini”, “Short” or “Long” course, either solo or in a team. Teams can nominate in either the Short or Long course events, consisting of two or three members. The Mini course kicks off early and consists of a 100-metre swim, two-kilometre cycle, and one-kilometre run — this event is
open to individual competitors only. The Short Course will involve a 200-metre swim, 14-kilometre cycle, and three-kilometre run and is an Individual and Team event. Finally, the Long Course involves competitors undertaking a 400-metre swim, 21-kilometre cycle, and five-kilometre run, and is also an Individual and Team event. The entirely volunteer-run event is a finely-tuned operation and everyone is welcome. With a strong sense of community spirit, this is a local event not to be missed. The organising committee encourages spectators to get down to the Warren War Memorial Pool on the day to cheer on the triathletes. Sign up early so you can ensure your place in this year’s triathlon as no registrations will be accepted on the day. Entries will close the Wednesday before the event.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES LOCAL galloper Dao Sun set a new track record when winning the 1000 metres Mountain View Hotel Tooraweenah Cup, the feature event on Saturday at Gilgandra. The second leg of a double for trainer Kieren Hazelton, Dao Sun carried the green and white Bowman Racing colours and is part-owned by Jason Tate the president of the Gilgandra Jockey Club. Since a serious injury sidelined regular jockey James Rogers, the Dubbo based Wendy Peel more recently has been 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 Kieren Hazelton trained Artell owned by John Smith, a life member of Gilgandra Jockey Club, had overcome difficulties to win the 1280 metres Community Bank Maiden Plate. Trapped behind the leading pack at the top of the short
Gilgandra galloper Dao Sun sets new track record on home track to win Tooraweenah Cup straight, Artell $3.70) under the guidance of Jake Pracey-Homes eventually 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 Jeffries and leading apprentice Shayleigh Ingelse missed out in the photo fi nish with Rebel Flyer however they had earlier combined to win the 1000 metres Bek’s Bookkeeping 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 fi nishing Dusty Vermeer (Kacie Adams, $71) This was the fi rst 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 distance, Narromine trainer Troy McCarney took on higher grade horses with his Maiden Class seven year old gelding Moculta Warrior, surprise winner of the 1550 metres Tooraweenah Prime Livestock Marketing Co-Op Benchmark 50 Handicap. Well ridden by Kacie Adams, Moculta Warrior ($21), winless after 34 previous starts, came
while in the role, and again made the trip along the Oxley Highway to be a special guest of Gilgandra Jockey Club for a final time at the Tooraweenah Cup meeting.
Gilgandra Jockey Club President, Jason Tate, said the presentation was an important way of recognising Rebecca’s hard work over a long period of time.

from last with a strong fi nish to win by a half head from Hoorini (Dylan Stanley, $5.50) while Beg Me (Wendy Peel, $10) was a length away third. Dubbo jockey Ken Dunbar took full advantage of an inside barrier to give the Ross Lomax, Mudgee trained Desirous ($3.30 favourite) a nice run on the rails before breaking clear to account for Charge Away (Shayleigh Ingelse, $6) and the early leader Mihrimah (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $7) in the 800 metres Rohr’s Timber and Hardare Class One Handicap. A good ride also by apprentice Siena Grima on the Michael Mulholland, Dubbo trained Tavanasia ($6.50)
which raced close to the lead before winning the 1280 metres Freck’s Electrical & Solar-Benchmark 50 Handicap from South Bullaway (Zoe Hunt, $5) and Kiss The Outcast (Ken Dunbar, $9).
Rebecca farewelled at Gil’s Tooraweenah Cup meeting IT was a nice touch at Gilgandra’s six-race Tooraweenah Cup meeting on Saturday with a presentation made to former Gilgandra Jockey Club Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Warren local, Rebecca McKay. Rebecca was a “frequent flyer” from the district
“It was great to send her off in a nice fashion, after all of her contributions for the club,” Jason said.
It was also a great day of racing for Gilgandra trainer, Kieren Hazelton with a pair of wins including victory in the feature event with the locally-owned runner “Dao Sun” highlighting the successful Tooraweenah Cup meeting.
The crowd of around 200 people, owners, trainers, and jockeys battled through hot conditions with the thermometer sitting at a steamy 370C for the opening races, before a wind storm came through with around two races left which cooled temperatures markedly, much-appreciated by punters, riders, and horses alike.
Jason said that, all-in-all, it was another good day’s racing with $96,000 in prize-money on offer across the six events.
Tight competition as ABC Shield enters exciting finals race Ben Storer had a great day out for USCMarthaguy in their important win against Coonabarabran on Saturday, scoring 29 runs and taking a remarkable 6-7 in attack. PHOTO: DOUGLAS FREETH.
JUST 11 points separates top from bottom place in the 2024/2025 Bendigo Bank ABC Shield after a remarkable set of results in Round 12 last Saturday. With seven points available for a win and three for a loss, this makes the fi nal two regular season rounds of the Gilgandra District Cricket Association competition highly exciting as most sides can still make the Top Four if they both win their remaining matches and have other results go their way. In last weekend’s results, Biddon-Tooraweenah put itself back on top of the table with a seven-wicket win against Gidgee at Coonamble; USC-Marthaguy defeat-
ed Coonabarabran by 32 runs in another low-scoring clash at Warren; and a brilliant unbeaten century from Preston Ah-See steered Gulargambone to an 80-run victory against Curban in Gilgandra. Biddon-Tooraweenah regained top spot on the points table after a brilliant bowling and fielding performance and a clinical seven-wicket away win against Gidgee at Coonamble Sportsground. Gidgee won the toss and batted, with Biddon-Tooraweenah then dominating with the ball to dismiss the hosts for just 54 in 21.3 overs. Jon Kilby (4-12) and Paul Lambell (3-24) were both lethal in their eight-over spells before Oscar Spora (1-4 off
three overs) and Clint Walker (2-14 off 2.3 overs) mopped up the tail. Only Blake Chapman (15) and Andrew Peacock (14) made double figures for Gidgee. After creating the pressure with such a disciplined and skilled bowling and fielding effort, Biddon-Tooraweenah were not going to let go of their advantage and batted responsibly to ensure victory. Paul Lambell (16 not-out) and Jaimie Zell (two not-out) were at the crease when the winning runs were scored while Will Lambell (14) and Lachlan Ferguson (11) also made double figures. Gidgee, however, battled hard to protect their small total with Tyne Chapman (121), Daniel Smith (1-18), and Blake Chapman (1-4) all picking-up wickets while Elvy McEwen’s six overs went for just eight runs. It was a round of low-scoring battles in other matches as USC-Marthaguy (99 allout in 31.2 overs) continued to walk the finals tightrope with a 32-run win against Coonabarabran (67 all-out in 29.5 overs) at Victoria Park in Warren. This was a critical fi xture for the fi nals, and USC-Marthaguy all-rounder Ben Storer delivered with a match-winning double. First, Storer top-scored with a patient 29 for USC-Marthaguy as Hugh Duncan (18), John McKay (16) and Andrew Freeth (13) also made starts. However, USC-Marthag-
uy crashed from 2-68 after 18 overs to be bowled out inside 32 overs and under 100. Nick Willougby (5-15 off 6.2 overs) and Jericho Chatfield (3-31 off eight overs) did most of the damage for Coonabarabran, while new-ball pair Cameron Whittall (1-12 off 6.2 overs) and Ben Hjort (1-16 off seven overs) also picked-up a wicket each. Storer then produced a destructive spell of 6-7 off 6.5 overs to swing the contest USC-Marthaguy’s way. Hugh Duncan (2-11 off eight overs) also bowled three maidens and Douglas Freeth (1-10 off six overs) was effective as well. Coonabarabran added 17 runs for the opening partnership and 13 runs for the last wicket, but in between lost 9-37. Nick Willoughby had a fi ne match with 31 runs opening, while Jacob Baker fi nished 10 not-out before eventually running-out of partners. Meanwhile, a patient Gulargambone secured an impressive 80-run win against Curban in Gilgandra. Preston Ah-See’s unbeaten century (100 not-out) with nine fours and two sixes was the backbone of Gular’s 2-170 off 40 overs. Brandon Hammond (39) and Jaylem Peters (16) also made contributions. Anthony Barry (1-27 off eight overs) grabbed a wicket for Curban while Doug Kelly (0-11 off seven overs) was economical. Curban was then bowled out for 90 off 35 overs in reply. Levi Peters (4-13 off eight
overs) was the chief destroyer while Slater Peters (2-3 off two overs), Jason Carter (2-17 off seven overs), Jaylem Peters (118 off eight overs) and Peter Peters Snr (1-13 off three overs), all did good jobs with the ball. Doug Kelly (21), Greg Younghusband (19), and Anthony Barry (13) were Curban’s best with the bat. All three results make for an exciting final two rounds. Bendigo Bank ABC Shield unofficial table after 12 rounds: Biddon-Tooraweenah 56, Gidgee 54, Curban 54, Coonabarabran 50, Gulargambone 49, Town Services 46, USC-Marthaguy 45.

WARREN Amateur Swimming Club has been busy in recent weeks with six swimmers competing across two major events. Firstly, five swimmers (Lara Barnett, Breanna Boyd, George Denston, Ava Ward, and Louis Welsh) attended the NSW Country Regionals at Gulgong in mid-January. In a fantastic result, Lara came home with gold in the 10-Years Female 100-metre Backstroke race in a flashing time of 1:39.50.
Warren swimmers, from left, Lara Barnett, Charlie Ruskin Rowe, and Breanna Boyd, all had a great time at Narromine.
Lara also won the 100-metre Breaststroke fi nal in a time of 1:48.84 and, fi nally, the 50-metre Breaststroke in 48.69 seconds in her 10 Years age category, claiming in total three gold medals. Other medallists included Breanna Boyd (12 Years Female), who won gold in the 50-metre Freestyle in 31.35 seconds, Silver in the 50-metre Backstroke in 38.28 seconds, and bronze in the 50-metre Breaststroke in 43.59 seconds.

Under 100-metre Butterfly in 2:18.12, and bronze in the Nine Years and Under 50-metre Butterfly in 1:03.15. George Denston (10 Years Male) also won a bronze medal in the 100-metre Backstroke in 1:38.91. A small but enthusiastic group of Warren swimmers then headed to Narromine on Saturday, February 1 for the Speedo Sprint Series Heats. The Speedo Sprint Series is an exciting, entry-level annual competition run by local swimming areas and Swimming NSW.
The Speedo Sprint Series caters for girls and boys aged between 8–13 years in the events of 50-metre Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly. The Warren contingent at Narromine included Charlie Ruskin Rowe, who was trialling for inclusion in the Western Area Speedo Finals team, while Breanna Boyd and Lara Barnett were competing as exhibition swimmers attempting to obtain their own personal best times (PBs). Charlie was successful in qualifying in four events to represent the Western area at the Speedo
Finals in Sydney in March. Charlie (in 10 Years Male) qualified for the 50-metre Freestyle, 50-metre Butterfly, 50-metre Backstroke and 50-metre Breaststroke events for Sydney. The three Warren swimmers who attended at Narromine then combined with a swimmer from Wellington Amateur Swimming Club in a 4x50-metre Medley Relay, and placed third.
