Women Country music Academy of Warren beckons for our rising Shire: local star, Jerome!

Taryn Stephens Contributed by WARREN SHIRE COUNCIL A 13-YEAR resident of Warren shire, Taryn Stephens has been known to support local and surrounding communities, including fundraising for flood victims from Eugowra and Forbes.

Taryn’s career in education has seen her change the lives of students for the better, both in our shire and internationally. As the principal of St Mary’s Parish School, she is a voice for local youth and a passionate advocate for quality rural education.

A selfless woman devoted to nurturing the next generation, we celebrate Taryn’s contributions as this month’s Woman of Warren Shire.

Q&A with Taryn Stephens A usual morning looks like…

“Stepping into a wacky Australian movie! Imagine sipping your coffee in front of a crackling fi re while your boys give you snuggles that feel like a wild wrestling match.

ONE of Warren’s most promising young musicians was recently selected for a very special week-long country music event starting Saturday.

Warraan Widji Arts music student, Jerome Shepherd, was picked from among hundreds of young emerging musicians across Australia to attend the Junior Academy of the Country Music Association of Australia’s Academy of Country Music in Tamworth.

Jerome received a partial APRA scholarship for the event, with the help of his Aunty Noah Overs and grandmother Lucy Amatto.

Tutor Graham Burns, a music teacher with Warraan Widji Arts, has also been preparing Jerome for the academy, where students will receive additional tuition in performance, song-writing, musicianship, working in a group, and harmony singing.

“Jerome is a one-in-ten thousand talent and deserves every opportunity he can get. This is quite an achievement,” said Mr Burns.

Jerome’s has regular music lessons in Warren which are fully funded by Warraan Widji Arts. Warraan Widji Arts works with the Aboriginal Outcomes and Partnerships Directorate (Aboriginal Learning and Engagement Centre) and local schools to

provide performing, Wayilwan language and creative arts opportunities for talented Aboriginal students.

Jerome is a member of the Dreaming Drifters, a rock band sponsored by Warraan Widji Arts. The band rehearses regularly in the local

Anglican Hall and has performed publicly at a number of community events.

While at the Tamworth event, Jerome will be working with some of our greatest country music stars and teachers.

This includes 10-time Gold-

en Guitar winner Lyn Bowtell who leads the academy as director, with fellow Golden Guitar winner (and Bushwackers) member Roger Corbett as general manager.

Group leaders also include Golden Guitar winners Ashleigh Dallas, David Carter, and Aleyce Simmonds, and touring multi-instrumentalist, Liam Kennedy-Clark.

Ms Bowtell said that all the students would learn so much from their mentors, but she was particularly excited that we had young musicians attending.

“We have some young instrumentalists coming which is exciting because the academy is a wonderful environment for them where they get to learn so much and have support from Liam and other musicians and interns,” she said.

“It’s been a couple of years since we’ve run a full junior academy so it’s going to be nice to see everyone face-to-face and work with the students and parents in person.”

Group leaders mentor the students and their parents through everything a career in music involves including performance, musicianship, song writing, music business, social media and media relations.

“Parents are very much a part of their child’s early music career, so we mentor them on how to best manage their talented child,” Mr Corbett said.

The 21 students are aged from 14– 18; 13 from NSW, six from Queens-

everything and provides everything for you. He can and will supply your every need. He can solve every problem you might have. God can give you strength for every test or trial you may have.

Grace can come to you through a belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. A Christian can live their life entirely by the Grace of God. The riches of Grace are made available by the Lord Jesus Christ to all of us. Here in Warren and throughout the world. To everyone.

It’s saving Grace. Sustaining Grace, enduring and suffering Grace and a special grace and for gifts of Grace. Grace is a big thing.

The Bible says: “He is the God of all Grace” 1 Peter 5:10.

We live by faith in his word (promises) and by prayer, so that the Spir-

it of God’s Grace can strengthen us and give us victory over all difficulties and situations. God can provide all our needs at the same time.

One good way of remembering what Grace really can mean in our lives is this simple acronym.

G — God’s; R — Riches; A — At; C — Christ’s; E — Expense.

Grace — “God’s Riches at Christ’s Expense”. Where going to heaven is the riches, and Jesus dying on the cross is the expense.

Remember to think about what GRACE might really be, and what it could mean for you before you eat your next meal.

Grace cannot be earned, but it is freely given and the people in churches can help you find it.

“Warraan Widji Arts wishes Jerome all the best and hopes he has the best week ever connecting with other musicians and making country music” said Warraan Widji Arts committee member Nettie Slade.

FAITH MATTERS

Grace!

RECENTLY, I noticed a “meme” where two young boys were sitting and chatting about life and it goes something like this.

Boy One: “Does your family say a prayer before you eat your food?”

Boy Two: “Nope. We’re Italian!

My Mum knows how to cook.”

That’s the “Grace” that many of us know well, the little prayer that is often said in many households before meals.

You might have been to weddings or feasts or formal occasions where Grace is said before eating.

In the Bible “Grace” is used as a greeting. Often, it is written like this: “Grace and peace to you through Jesus” You might hear this greeting at the start of a church service if you are there.

Grace really means that God does cloudy. Medium chance of showers on the southern slopes, slight chance elsewhere. Winds southwesterly 20 to 30 km/h becoming light during the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 3 and 6 with daytime temperatures reaching between 12 and 15.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, June 28, 2023

Women of Warren Shire: Taryn Stephens From page 1 “Then, it’s a mad dash to pack school lunches and clean the house before we all fly out the door. It’s a whirlwind of chaos that keeps me laughing and wondering what funny surprises await me each day.”

I’m most proud of…

“My work at St Mary’s Parish School, which fi lls my heart with joy.

“Working with the amazing children, families, and staff there feels like being part of one large close-knit and supportive family. Together, we create a nurturing atmosphere where laughter abounds, learning becomes an enriching journey, and friendships flourish.

“St Mary’s Parish School is where my professional and personal worlds intertwine, and I am grateful for the positive impact it has on both aspects of my life. It sounds cliche, but I’m also fi lled with immense pride when I think of my wonderful family… two energetic country boys and my supportive husband.

“They bring a sense of adventure, warmth, and laughter to my life every day, whether it’s exploring the great Macquarie river for fishing lures, engaging in playful mischief on a motorbike, or simply sharing moments around our fi re pit.”

On the weekend you can find me…

“Supporting my children from the sidelines during their footy games. I cheer them on with great gusto (probably to their embarrassment), along with their personal cheer squad of family and friends.

“After the games, we usually head to the river for a fishing expedition or ‘lure hunting’, as the boys like to put it. However, I must admit that I haven’t had much luck in that department, as my fishing endeavours rarely yield any bites.

“Nonetheless, I enjoy the peaceful ambience of the river and the thrill of casting my line. I like to take it easy with my family in the evenings around a cosy campfi re.

“I also often spend time at school on the weekends preparing for the upcoming week and making sure everything is in order for a successful week of teaching.”

A quote or piece of advice you live by… “‘Never see a need without doing something about it’ by Mary MacKillop – I try to live by this. Or my other favourite, to quote a great friend, Shauna Brigden, ‘give it two weeks!’”

How long have you lived in Warren shire?

“I’ve lived in Warren now for 13 years. I came out originally for nine months as an opportunity to further my teaching ca-

Taryn Stephens. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. reer, and as all good love stories start… along came a boy!

13 years later, I can’t see us living anywhere else.”

What is your favourite place in Warren shire?

“My favourite place in Warren would be our place, ‘Carramar’. It’s right on the banks of the mighty Macquarie river, giving us ample space to do what we want and providing the quiet serenity to enjoy it all.”

Some more about you…

What do you love most about Warren shire?

“It sounds like a typical response, but my love of Warren shire is all because of the people here.

“I love that everyone bands together in hard times, that there is such pastoral care for each other, and that there is a

real sense of ‘it takes a village’ approach to raising children.

“As a community, we genuinely go out of our way to help others. What more could I ask for?”

Can you tell us a bit about your journey, including some of your most significant achievements?

“I taught overseas in London and the US, which was a transformative experience that allowed me to embrace different educational systems and cultures.

“By immersing myself in these diverse environments, I gained valuable insights into various teaching methodologies, developed a global perspective, and enhanced my ability to adapt to different classroom settings. This international teaching experi-

ence enriched my professional journey and broadened my understanding of education. It also gave me the opportunity to travel broadly – something I still love to do!

“Throughout my career, I have held several other roles such as assistant principal, religious education coordinator, and principal.

“I am privileged and honoured to be able to do something I love each and every day. As principal at St Mary’s Parish School, I am able to lead our school, set academic goals and manage resources while maintaining strong relationships with staff, students, parents, and the community.

You were instrumental in the execution of the local flood relief concert, which raised funds to support families

from Eugowra and Forbes.

Why do you think it’s so important to support other communities through times of hardship?

“Helping other communities during difficult times is crucial. When we lend a hand, we show kindness and care for others. It brings people closer and makes our society stronger.

“Moreover, our actions inspire others to help as well, creating a positive chain of support. By joining forces, we can make a real difference for everyone.”

You’re also known for your role as the principal of St Mary’s Parish School. What do you find most rewarding about facilitating a positive environment for children to learn and grow?

“I love the kids – it really is that simple!

“Everything I do runs through the fi lter of ’is this best for the children?’ If my answer is yes, we do it. Whether it’s about providing wellbeing support, a new initiative or curriculum, or just a fun day, if it ultimately benefits the children, we’re in. Their successes are our successes.

“Mind you, working with staff who are quirky, funny, always on the lookout for opportunities, and have such dedication to our school and community is also a bonus. I work with my mates every day.”

As an advocate for quality rural education, what would you say are the unique benefits of going to school in the country? “‘You know Baxter, my dog? Well, you wouldn’t believe what Spirit did to him’ or ‘Aunty Jess knows, ring her’, and even ‘guess how many goals I scored at netball on Saturday!’…

“When we say we know your kids, we really do.

“We can usually tell you what you’re having for dinner that night, how your car broke down on the weekend, and even some naughty stories – don’t worry, we don’t repeat these!

“My favourite thing about rural education is that we all know each other, and through that knowledge, we’re able to make real connections with the children and their families to make a positive impact.

“We’re privileged in our roles as teachers to be able to inspire and guide people every day. What an honour that is. A big job, yes, but an honour.”

What advice would you give to other women living in rural communities?

“Say yes! Take every opportunity given to you and see where it leads, because you usually get more out than what you put in.”

Council exhibits Economic Development Strategy

By ANDREW TARRY WARREN Shire Council are currently exhibiting their Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan. The draft document is one of several documents the council develops towards achieving long-term social and economic prosperity for the shire.

Within the plan is also some information on the Community Strategic Plan, which is potentially one of the most important plans and strategies the council creates.

The current Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan covers the general economic background of the Warren shire as well as a breakdown of the different components within the local economy, their input, and the need for growth amongst other industries and sectors.

The document starts by detailing the objective or goal of the plan, which is “to provide Warren Shire with an Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan to progress, evaluate, monitor, and report on progress of Economic Development Opportunities”.

One of the roles of this strategy is to draw together other plans by the council and create a coordinated, cohesive effort to propel and promote the economic and fi nancial benefits of the region.

When describing the need to address this issue the plan states that “Warren Shire

has considerable tourism potential and possibilities to commercialise products and events, however current strategies are not cohesive and are insufficient to meet visitor and resident needs or expectations. Warren Shire has developed a shared vision for tourism and will develop working strategies for visitor economy development”.

The document recognises that the community has responded in the past to conversations on how to integrate a more cohesive and effective strategy into current council plans to “take advantage of the many existing and emerging opportunities for the shire”.

For regional areas tourism is often an integral yet volatile economic contributor. Regional areas can often struggle to attract large quantities of travellers and once they have attracted them, then provide incentives for them to stay. Tourism is an area which can provide substantial benefits through persistent planning and promotion. Tourists often spend money in a variety of sectors within a region or town and with consistent visitor numbers the general benefit to the area can be significant.

The Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan quotes a recommendation from a tourism report completed for the council in December 2021. “Tourism is and will continue to be a key pillar for any regional economy in diversifying its product and service output. It is increasingly important to nurture

this industry as it creates a level of continuity for the local economy that is heavily reliant on the agriculture sector, which is inherently a peaks and troughs industry, therefore nurturing supplementary industries softens the impact of the volatility of the economy for the shire.”

One of the identified measures in the strategy and action plan recognising and hoping to address is for the “the development of a Tourism Strategy and Destination Management Plan that comprehensively explores existing and future opportunities, encouraging visitation and extension to length of stay. This theme should be a key focus of future promotional campaigns”.

A project which has already been born out of this kind of thinking is the “development of facilities at the Windows on the Wetlands (WOW) Centre Precinct and the Burrima Boardwalk”, with an expected completion date of September 2023.

Further on in the draft document the council identifies other important components driving the region’s economy as: “retail trade, education and training, health care, social assistance and public administration and safety.” These sectors are important employers in the area with the agricultural industry represent the largest of them all.

The document points out that “the Warren Shire region has a highly productive and diverse agricultural industry— excelling in the production of sheep, wool, cattle, grain,

and cotton.”

Recent years of difficult climate conditions and the pandemic have had a significant impact across all industries with agriculture being particularly susceptible to the drought, fi res, and floods that have occurred in the last five years. The council states within the strategic plan that because of these challenges “our communities must be dynamic and adaptive to continue to survive against these adverse conditions and impacting events”.

All of this then comes to the section of the document where the three key strategies and ‘priority enablers’ are provided as one of the main proponents and tasks of the strategy and action plan.

The fi rst is the ‘Visitor Economy Development’ expanded in the following bullet points: f Initiatives to develop the Destination Macquarie Marshes as a key nature tourism destination. f Enhanced visitor servicing to better engage visitors and grow awareness of the brand. f Development of product offerings and supplementary services. f Progress fi nal stages of the Destination Macquarie Marshes, and Burrima Boardwalk access. f Improved visitor infrastructure, including accommodation, tourism signage and public amenity renewal. f Development of the WOW Centre Precinct including the Macquarie Marshes and Warren Visiting Information Centre; and

f Improvements to the visitor experience to increase visitation.

The second strategy is the ‘Liveability Enhancement and Infrastructure Development’. f Enhance roads, public parks and amenities. f Housing. f Health services. f Educational services. f Arts and culture services. f Telecommunications; and f Law and order.

The third and last strategy focus in Business and Economic Development. f Business development initiatives and incentives. f Support for eco-tourism and agritourism experiences such as farm stays and workshops. f Warren Chamber of Commerce collaboration. f Skills development and training (customer service); and f Business Opportunities, Growth and Efficiencies Program Development.

The culminating argument for the creation of the document, besides outlining the above strategies and the necessity for council to have an economic plan of some kind, is to coordinate the servicing of the multitude of needs within the community. Through these plans the council also has an opportunity to promote the objectives and goals for the region. In this way, the council can provide their vision to “pursue excellence, to be responsive and pro-active in the promotion and improvement of our community through responsible and innovative leadership”.

By AMELIA BARCLAY & SOPHIA SAYERS IT’S been a busy week at St Mary’s Parish School with principal’s, students’, and music awards, for a number of hard-working students.

For starters, a total of six promising St Mary’s stu-

dents, Maddie Hunt, Adalyn McAlary, Harry Ruskin Rowe, Pollyanna Wass, Gus McRae, and Mabel Ceeney, a in Piano recently.

A group of happy violin players from the School, also performed well in the string’s section, picking-up places for both the Trio’s and Duo’s sections.

The amazing students all performed beautifully with the standard very high with often up to 10 performers in each section.

In the Piano section, Harry receives a notable mention; at his fi rst ever eisteddfod, he presented so well and played with great confidence.

Mabel and Adalyn were also awarded multiple Highly-Commended places in some very competitive sections, while Gus was awarded Third Place in his section.

Top results go to Pollyanna and Maddie, who were both awarded First Places in their respective sections and performed at an extremely high-standard.

The student’s teacher, Mrs Frances Evans, was extraordinarily proud of their achievements. “Behind all these talented students are supportive parents,” a School spokesperson said.

“They are to be encouraged

and ‘highly-commended’ for their dedication!” they added.

In the Strings section, both the String Trios and String Duos got some great results at the Eisteddfod, with Lara Barnett receiving a second place in a very competitive section.

The String Trio of Rowena McKay, Harriet McRae, and Lara Barnett, were placed Highly-Commended at the Eisteddfod, with the String Duo of Evelyn Barclay and Hannah Meers placing Third.

Lara Barnett received a second place in a very competitive section, while Amelia Barclay also received a Highly-Commended in her fi rst-ev-

er Cello performance, rounding-off a series of great results for the School!

A number of the young ladies were later pictured with Mrs Frances, who said they presented with great focus, determination, and growing confidence and also was impressed with the girls’ preparation for the big day and their resilience.

In academic and community areas, there was also a series of Principals and Student of the Week awards presented at St Mary’s.

The 2023 Premier’s Spelling Bee WARREN Central School last Wednesday, conducted their round of the 2023 Premier’s Spelling Bee aimed at students

The Spelling Bee was a wonderful example of the courage that students of all abilities display in participating in this event. While there are always some moments of disappointment, all students, however, competed gallantly.

Particular congratulations go to Jack Higgins who won the Junior Section, and to Abigail Mauger who won the Senior Section.

Students also had great fun playing some touch football and other ball games with both Joel and Trent. The visit was part of the NRL’s “One Pass At A Time” mental health campaign, designed around the belief that while: “Just like one pass can change the game, one conversation can change a life”.

Farewell to Mrs Oriel — You’ll be muchmissed!

OUR beloved Canteen Manager, Janice Oriel will be fi nishing her 20-year career at Warren Central School this Friday.

Janice fi rst started at WCS in 2003, and the biggest change she has seen to the canteen over the years, is the

move to a healthy canteen operation with a range of alternative good-eating options for all students.

Mrs Oriel recalls that, when she started in 2003, the biggest-selling items in the canteen were the coke machine, lollies, and cakes. In 2023, the biggest selling items are healthy pies, nuggets, and her famous garlic bread.

Janice also revealed that her favourite moments over the years, have been her conversations with staff and students everyday. A lot of staff actually consider Mrs Oriel to be their own personal counsellor, as she doesn’t repeat anything mentioned to her inside the canteen!

Janice hopes to relax for a while and tend to things at home that need doing. She also hopes to spend a lot more time with her grandchildren.

A few little information pieces regarding Janice:

1. She is extremely lucky in raffles and competitions, and it has been this way for a very long time!

2. Her favourite colour is purple!

3. Her favourite number is 11!

4. She barracks for the Penrith Panthers and the NSW Blues. At the time of writing, she was preparing State of Origin cupcakes for Game Two in the series. :”On behalf of the school, I would like to sincerely thank Janice for her stellar 20-year career in looking after hundreds of students during that time,” a School Spokesperson said.

“She has been an absolute marvel, stalwart, and the heart-and-soul of the School for so long; we would like to wish her all the best in her retirement and future endeavours,” the Spokesperson concluded.

Warren VIEW Club hears from ‘Sight for All’ optician at June meeting

Betty Fletcher, Betty Hunt, Maria Kinsey, Janet Cleasby, Lilly Psomadelis, Pauline Serdity, and Barbara Kentwell.

Barbara Kentwell, Janet Cleasby, and guest speaker Lilly Psomadelis.

By BETTY FLETCHER Guest speaker, Lilly Psomadelis NOT even the frost could deter the ladies from their lunch meeting last Wednesday, June 21, with over three dozen women all ready for a tasty lunch and an interesting guest speaker. This many people meant the quick set up of extra tables, and I’m sure the folk in the USC kitchen really got their skates on! The club were very grateful to Amanda and her staff for organising things so promptly.

Guest speaker, Lilly Psomadelis, is an eye health specialist and optician from an Adelaide-based company ‘Sight for All’. Lilly explained the various stages of eye health and eye care for

older people.

She explained that our eyes may go through some changes as we age, however, emphasised that many cases of vision loss can be prevented or treated if caught early enough.

She spoke of the importance of looking after your sight and having regular check-ups including looking deep into your eyes with the tech equipment available today. She said that an optometrist has the ability to detect health problems which may alert your doctor to a yet to be discovered health matter, and recommended signing up with the keep sight website to get free reminders when it’s time for your eye check.

If you have age-related macular degeneration, you can

monitor your vision at home with a simple test called the Amsler grid, she explained, which is a grid of black lines on a piece of paper. It is suggested you check your eyes weekly to ensure you are not experiencing any significant vision changes.

Lilly spoke in depth of the main problems of ageing eyes, some of which includes cataracts, macular disease, related diabetes problems, and glaucoma. She again emphasised the importance of eye checks to enable prompt action be taken to save your precious vision.

The club were very grateful for Lilly visiting, and for the information she so succinctly gave. I’m sure her talk probably had our guests thinking “hang on, when did I last have

an eye test?”

As Lilly says “EYE TESTS ARE IMPORTANT”. She was an excellent guest speaker.

Other business OUR long term member and former VIEW president, Janet Cleasby, was presented with her 30 year membership badge and our current president, Lorraine Falkiner Smith congratulated Janet on her achievement and thanked Janet for her loyalty and devotion to VIEW over the last 30 years.

Janelle Harris, a new VIEW member, was also presented with her membership badge and we are delighted to welcome Janelle.

We also welcomed two brand new members to our lunch on

Wednesday: Aleta Davis and Melania Maier. The club are delighted they have joined up, and the new membership badges will be presented to them in due course. Along with Janelle, we trust Aleta and Melania have a long and happy association with Warren VIEW Club.

For our July meeting, we have a lovely young business woman for our guest speaker.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

A celebration of 15 years ON Friday night, June 23, a special dinner was held in Dubbo to celebrate the 15 years I have now spent representing the people of the Parkes electorate at the federal level. I was joined by many friends, supporters, colleagues, and family members for this special occasion.

My thanks to all involved in this wonderful night, which included speeches by special guests - leader of the Nationals the Hon. David Littleproud MP and shadow minister for Indigenous Australians senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

It’s been a privilege to be part of the Nationals Party for regional Australia and to have the honour of continuing the work of representing the Parkes electorate for more than a decade. Many would know that I couldn’t do this without my lovely wife Robyn and so many of you who have supported me over the years to be your federal representative.

Visits to Redi.E and Apollo House in Dubbo ON June 23, I was joined by leader of the Nationals Mr Littleproud and Senator Nampijinpa Price in Dubbo to visit some local programs supporting Aboriginal people in the area.

Our fi rst stop was the Regional Enterprise Development Institute (Redi.E) to meet general manager and Gamillaroi man Peter Gibbs who introduced us to his team and discussed the work Redi.E does to deliver employment, training, and community services. This is an Aboriginal owned not-for-profit assisting both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, including through their hospitality traineeships at the fabulous Wilay Café, where we were treated to some delicious food.

I was keen for Senator Nampijinpa Price and Mr Littleproud to meet Mr Gibbs and fi nd out about what his team is doing, advocating in practical ways to improve pathways to employment for Aboriginal Australians not only in Dubbo but all the way out to Wilcannia where Redi.E runs the Outback Store providing food to that community.

We also met with Wiradjuri Elder Riverbank Frank Doolan at Apollo House, where he works at LeaderLife Dubbo with Founder and CEO Joh Leader, growing community and holistically supporting people in Dubbo’s Apollo Estate. Leader Life’s programs include social enterprise such as their lime farm at Narromine, where participants produce excellent lime-

Nationals colleagues joined Mr Coulton to celebrate his 15 years of service including federal Nationals leader David Littleproud, senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Riverina MP Michael McCormack, senator Davey Perin, Sarah Mitchell MLC, (Mr Coulton MP), retired former member for Calare John Cobb, leader of the NSW Nationals Dugald Saunders, retired Riverina MP Noel Hicks AM, and former deputy prime minister John Anderson AC FTSE.

LeaderLife and Redi.E are just two of many programs in Dubbo making a real difference to people by actively getting alongside them to help them grow and achieve their goals.

Speeches in parliament LAST week in parliament I delivered several speeches

and statements, one of which was in honour of the life and legacy of the late Joy McKean, a great in Australian country music. Joy, along with her famous husband Slim Dusty, and their children, have all produced music which has meant a lot to me personally, so it was my privilege to be part of commemorating her life and achievements.

I have also pushed again for the minister for infrastruc-

ture to indicate the government’s fi rm support for the continuation of the Inland Rail. The consequences of decision-making on this crucial piece of infrastructure will affect generations to come across not only inland NSW but the whole of Australia.

The Inland Rail has been a core driver in my desire to make a difference as federal member for Parkes. The vision for this infrastructure

is increased prosperity, jobs, growth, and development for the people I represent and the country as a whole, which is why I am passionate about seeing this accomplished.

Transcripts of my speeches in parliament are all available to read on my website, with some also available as videos on YouTube, so I invite you to explore the available content.

ROY’S OY’S OUND-UP ROUND-UP Comment mment by ROY Y BUTLER, te Member State for Barwon

G’day folks THIS year seems to be moving along at a cracking pace, and 2023 is now half over, despite the fact that parliament has only been sitting for two months and next month it takes a month-long break.

Last week I was in parliament, and I will be there again this week, before heading back out to Barwon. It’s an interesting time - the government is still fi nding its feet, while trying to fulfi l election promises and to get on track with the budget. It presents those of us on the crossbench with a unique opportunity.

Visit to Broken Hill WHILE I was in Broken Hill recently, I paid a visit to Flourish Australia, which operates out of Headspace. They do a fantastic job offering various services for youth in and around Broken Hill.

From Dungeons and Dragons to vocational and study support, telehealth and mental health services.

The activities at Headspace have a huge positive impact on our youth. I am keen to support these services in the future.

Menindee Children’s Centre Preschool WHILE out west I paid a visit to Menindee Children’s Centre Preschool. Under Amy’s leadership, the centre has expanded its services, including two-year-olds for two full-days a week. The centre wants to continue to expand but needs funding. I will be taking this up with the minister on behalf of the centre and the community.

The Menindee centre aims to be an extension of the family.

Parents can attend with their children which is often benefi-

cial for both the child and the parent.

Whites Mineral Art Gallery THE week before last, I was in Broken Hill where I visited White’s Mineral Art Gallery. An institution in Broken Hill and totally unique. Former miner Kevin ‘Bushy’ White opened the museum in 1984 and built up a unique collection, before passing away in 2021. The museum was closed for a time after Bushy’s death. It is now being operated

by Larry Angell - a veteran of the mining industry and experienced tour guide.

The museum resembles the underground of a mine. It holds the world’s largest mineral collection and a gallery of artworks, many of which were created by Bushy in his unique style, using crushed minerals to create collages.

The artworks cover the history of Broken Hill buildings, mining, and Australiana-style artwork. It also covers the history of mining and mining operations in Broken Hill from 1883 to present and details it through diorama, rare mining artefacts and memorabilia (around 1500 pieces of memorabilia).

When Bushy died there was talk of the museum being sold off, but I will do all I can to help the owners and volunteers involved in trying to ensure it’s available for locals and visitors well into the future.

Hudson Pear LAST week in parliament I delivered a ‘Private Members Statement’ and moved a ‘Notice of Motion’ about the urgent need for something to be done about Hudson Pear. If you don’t know about Hudson Pear, it is a nasty invasive species of cactus, native to areas of Mexico, Arizona and Texas that was brought to Australia in the 1960s, possibly by a collector and was planted in a garden in the Grawin but it soon spread from there and it continues to spread.

Hudson pear (Cylindropuntia Pallida) has spikes that can go through a shoe, it can impale and kill some wildlife

We do our best work when you’re involved

and leave others to die a slow, painful death. Just one small piece of the cactus can grow into another infestation, and it is spreading rapidly across the landscape.

Many people, myself included, have been warning the government about the spread of Hudson Pear for years, but there has never been a comprehensive plan to eradicate it. The recent floods have threatened to spread the cactus along our waterways, so now is the time to act before it spreads even further.

For my full Private Members Statement and Notice of Motion visit my website.

Question for the health minister IN parliament the government is held to account during question time, when members are allowed to ask, on rotation, a ‘Question Without Notice’. Last week in parliament I asked the health minister, Ryan Park, a question about health services in Barwon. I asked him “What is being done to ensure that health facilities in regional NSW do not need to reduce hours for services because of staffing shortages?”

In his reply he talked about the government’s commitment to “building the workforce through the Rural Health Workforce Incentive Scheme” which has already identified 1838 eligible positions, including in Wee Waa Hospital, and “has provided retention incentives for some existing employees”.

He also mentioned the building of three new helicopter bases “rapid transport, extraction and retrieval from remote and difficult-to-reach parts of NSW to get people the care they need”. The government also recently announced the appointment of a Select Committee on Remote, Rural and Regional Health, chaired by the member for Wagga Wagga, Dr Joe McGirr.

Which “will oversee the implementation of the 44 recommendations of the landmark inquiry into rural and regional health care”. There is also a plan to recruit migrant health workers, he said “To date, NSW has sponsored 1500

health professionals across the subclass 190 and subclass 491 visas.”

I will continue my dialogue with the government to work on following through on these commitments and schemes, to ensure that people in regional areas get a better standard of health care than they did under the previous government.

Eric and Kath Manns LAST week in parliament I delivered a ‘Community Recognition Statement’ honouring Eric and Kath Manns of Cobar, who are today celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary. This is a remarkable milestone and a testament to the love and devotion of this couple who met in Sydney in about 1953, fell in love, got engaged two weeks later and married six months after that. Kath moved to Cobar where she became part of the community. They are still together seven decades later.

I congratulate them on this wonderful occasion and wish them every happiness.

Cashless gaming trial I WENT to Club York in Sydney last week to look at a trial of the cashless gaming card technology. There were some problems with fi nding subjects for the trial and with the somewhat difficult process of getting participants to fi ll out questionnaires, but overall, it seems to show what the technology can do. It was impressive as is, with options for people to inform the club that they wish to self-exclude by simply using an app on their phone, but there will inevitably be improvements made and problems ironed out as the trial goes on.

One of the major problems will be implementing the technology in country areas. There needs to be a way to implement this technology to make sure that it won’t cost a fortune for smaller regional clubs.

Cashless gaming has bipartisan support, so it is likely to be implemented, but I have often voiced my reservations about the concept being applied without regard for smaller clubs. What I have supported is a thorough trial of the

technology before it is imposed across the state. Small clubs in regional areas don’t have the problems with money laundering and problem gambling that big city clubs do. They need to be protected from any possible negative impact that cashless gaming might have.

Clocking up kilometres

the

ON the way east from Broken Hill two weeks ago I noticed that the odometer had hit 70,000 km. I pulled safely to take a picture so I could post it on social media, not to complain about.

Barwon is a huge electorate.

44.4 per cent of the state.

I had to drive all day to get home and then head to Sydney the next morning for two weeks of parliament. This car was new in March 2022.

A new chariot is ordered, but like everyone else I have a bit of a delay, mine is 12 months wait. In the 15 months of use I have done a rim, a windscreen (need another now) and an antenna mount. The alloy mounts don’t survive the bumps on the roads at the moment. Touch wood, no mechanical failures or underbody damage. The previous cars all had $10-$15k of underbody damage after a year.

There are people out west who have it worse than me and at least I am reimbursed for some of the mileage, but for most of us in western NSW long drives are a necessity of living in country areas. Something people who live on the east coast will never really understand.

Regional Development Committee

LAST week it was announced that I would chair the ‘Investment, Industry and Regional Development Committee’.

The scope of this committee is broad. It covers portfolios from the premier to jobs and investment to regional development and agriculture and much more. Precise details are a bit sketchy at the moment, I will know more about the particular focus of the committee as time goes on.

A lot of good can come from this appointment, particularly for the regions.

Local government tribunal determines mayor and councillor fees

By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW Local Government Remuneration Tribunal has recently come to a determination on the categories it uses as well as the fees that mayors and councillors are required to be paid by the shire they represent.

The tribunal completed the review in April and delivered the “Annual Determination and Report and determination under sections 239 and 241 of the Local Government Act 1993”.

According to the executive summary of the document, which is accessible through the portal on the Tribunal’s website, “the Local Government Act 1993 (the LG Act) requires the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal (the Tribunal) to report to the Minister for Local Government by 1 May each year on its determination of categories of councils and the maximum and minimum amounts of fees to be paid to mayors, councillors, and chairpersons and members of county councils.”

ŽƵŶĐŝůůŽƌͬŵĞŵďĞƌ ĂŶŶƵĂů ĨĞĞ DĂLJŽƌ

Section 239 of the 1993 Act requires the Tribunal to determine the categories of councils and mayoral offices at least once every three years.

The previous determination in April of 2022, argued that of all the submissions for recategorisation the “Tribunal did not fi nd that any council’s submission was strong enough for a change in category or for the creation of a new category. 24.

The Tribunal did note, however, that some councils may have a better case for recategorisation at the next major re-

view of categories in 2023.”

This has now come to pass, and the 2023 determination has reclassified three councils and created two new categories: ‘Metropolitan Major’ and ‘Rural Large’.

The council’s May business paper argues that “it was determined that the existing ‘Rural’ category did not differentiate between large and small rural councils, in population, size, and terrain. Evidence demonstrated that a number of ‘Rural Councils’ are large in geographic area, requiring

great distances to be covered.”

Warren is classified as ‘Rural’ by the Tribunal and “pursuant to Section 241 of the Act the Tribunal has determined the maximum and minimum amount of fee for this category”.

At the Warren Shire Council meeting in May, council adopted the full three per cent increase as determined by the tribunal.

The fees are as follows:

Pumas best Bulls at home

By HARRY GAYNOR THE Bogan Bulls visited Warren’s Victoria Oval on Saturday, June 24 for round eight of the Western Plains Rugby Union Championship. With no women’s side from Nyngan, the two fierce rivals were set for only one men’s game, in another contest for the Beach-Moxham Cup. After losing their round

one game to the Bulls, the home side, Warren Pumas took charge of the match early. They were dominating field position and eventually sent fullback Hugh McLean around the edge for an early try.

Mclean’s agronomical protégé in Ben Grant fi red up his dancing shoes, to zag his way through for another score not long after. With a healthy lead so early on, the niggle and

Last week’s golf results WEDNESDAY, June 21 was the SPAR Trophy Day, an 18-hole Stableford.

What started as a very chilly day turned out to be a beautiful sunny winter’s day, with 10 ladies taking on the course to vie for the wonderful SPAR trophies.

Didi Simmons came in the winner with 36 points, second with 35 points was Josie Cosgrove and coming in third was Amanda Thomas with 33 points.

Mixed Foursomes Championships Saturday, June 24 was the Mixed Foursomes Championships, played over 36-holes.

Fourteen teams turned up on a crisp winter morning to play their best golf and to do their best to win that champion crown.

By 9.45am the sun was shining brilliantly in the clear, blue sky and the fi rst teams teed off.

It was all very close after the fi rst 18-holes in both A and B grade before we stopped for lunch. Sherpas Kitchen provided the most delicious lunch and was enjoyed by all.

With the second 18 before us we got back into the golf.

With everyone in and at the 19th waiting patiently, the 2023 champions were announced. The A grade mixed foursomes 2023 champions on 180 points were Christine Trudgett and Nathan Walker.

Only one point behind them on 181, were Lyn Rawlinson and Mark Robertson. The B grade champions were Christine Tilley and Bob McKay on 184 and runners-up were Kaye Martin and Malcolm Stephens on 189.

Handicap winners were Tara Fitzgerald and Ben Wilson on 138 and runners-up were Jim and Bec McKay on 141.

NTPs: fourth Josie Cosgrove, 13th Mark Robertson, 16th Joey Walker (which was almost a hole in one ), 18th and money hole Brian Robertson.

Congratulations to all winners. The whole day had an apricitic feel that made you happy to be out on our wonderful course playing 36-holes of the game we all love to hate!

pressure from Nyngan arrived almost on cue, allowing them to hit back with a try before half-time.

Warren were determined not to let their neighbouring foes wrangle back the lead again.

A series of line breaking runs from captain James McLean inspired the Pumas to not give the Bulls an inch.

Country mayors met at NSW Parliament House for key discussions

By ANDREW TARRY THE Country Mayors Association of NSW recently held a general meeting at Parliament House in Sydney.

The association discussed topics that are critical to servicing and managing the needs of communities across the state.

The general meeting was attended by mayors and general managers from 65 shires as well as a considerable cohort of ministers and representatives from organisations such as the Local Government NSW (LGNSW), the Office for Local Government (OLG), and the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA).

The meeting is one of the largest and most significant events for mayors and staff members of councils and provides an important opportunity for face-to-face deliberations and discussions on broad, complex issues.

Councillors acknowledged pressing issues like the housing crisis, the teacher and nurse shortages, water security, roads and infrastructure at the meeting and agreed that these problems require comprehensive and lengthy discussions to produce appropriate solutions.

Although councillors often meet in small groups through council alliances in different regions, or occasionally meet with state government ministers, the opportunities throughout the year to hold talks on such a scale are richly valuable.

It is important for communities, particularly remote and potentially isolated communities that their representatives are heard and given a platform to advocate for their constituents.

The meeting opened with an address and presentation from Cr Linda Scott, the president of the ALGA. According to the report of the meeting Cr Linda Scott informed the general meeting that councils are to receive $3.1 billion in Financial Assistance Grants over the next twelve months, but it is disappointing the government have not delivered on its pre-election promise for “fair increases.” At this stage there is a 75 per cent hole in Financial Assistance Grants which is not being fi lled. This could have a potentially significant impact on council budgets and their capacities for community developments in the future.

Cr Linda Scott then continued to highlight a number of areas where funding is being provided: • Other budget funding was $484 million in Roads to Recovery funding.

• $200 million Thriving Suburbs Program (local governments eligible to apply).

• $150 million Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program (local governments eligible to apply).

• $120 million Black Spot Program.

sides, eventually the Warren backline strung together some beautiful moves to send winger Hagan Size over the line, and later on centres Joe Hamblin and Dave Jenkins also notched another try each for the season.

Warren were able to close out the match without allowing Nyngan get too close to the lead, winning 43-12.

Notable efforts were seen

• Additional $13.5 million round of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program.

• $236 million over 10 years for flood warning infrastructure (rain gauges).

• $10 million for a national waste education campaign.

The president of the ALGA fi nished her presentation with a short discussion on the NSW Housing Affordability Reforms, while also speaking briefly on Growing Regions Grants, Disaster recovery Funding, New Bank Closure Protocols, and the National General Assembly which is scheduled to take place later in the year at Canberra.

The president of the LGNSW, Cr Darriea Turley spoke second. The president reiterated her recent statements regarding the state governments decision to stop subsidising the emergency services levy (ESL).

The president provided an update on the representations that mayors and local government advocacy groups had made towards the state government regarding the levy.

Due the high quantity of mayors making their perspective known to the state government about the issue, a review of the models is to be undertaken.

The report on Cr Turley’s presentation states that the president has requested that “councils to write to their local members and the minister”.

Cr Turley then delivered the rest of her report which “covered the Red Fleet Update and the IPART Review of Rate Peg Methodology NSW State Election, the Cost Shifting Survey, the federal budget with NSW to receive $951.4 million in Financial Assistance Grants and other assistance with Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, Skills, Aged Care, Flood and River Gauges, Rental Assistance and Sustainable Urban Development.”

The president ended her presentation and ceded the floor to the variety of other speakers which were organised for the event. The general meeting is usually host to several guests of which some provide presentations of their own.

This was the case as The Hon. Rose Jackson, The Hon. Jenny Aitchison MP, Dr Michael Holland MP, and Carmel Donnelly chair of IPART spoke to the assembly.

Ms Jackson held her inaugural address to the meeting and used her time to promote the importance of state and local governments working together. Her report to the meeting then focused on the following topic. “Water authorities are aware that councils in regional and rural areas are water utilities and need support through a partnership with the government and state water authorities, based on honesty to provide a more reliable water supply. The government wishes to lift the quality of town water supplies. Housing shortages particularly housing for key workers

needs to be addressed. If any council has land that can be developed for housing please let’s talk.”

Ms Aitchison addressed the reclassification of roads that councils and state government have been negotiating.

The MP continued by arguing that the “reclassifications of roads is a great opportunity. Unfortunately, in 2019 it was unfunded, and, in some cases, councils have had to wait up to eight years for their reclassification.

Things have now moved on. Disaster recovery funding has changed the way councils are looking at reclassifications so, priorities are changing.

The government wants to give councils the cash now rather than having to wait. The city was getting $5 for every $1 that the country was getting in road funding. This has now been addressed and regional NSW will be getting double what it is now plus emergency repair funds.”

Dr Holland spoke briefly on the “Rural Health Inquiry recommendations and the financial implications. The health workforce is a high priority with the intention of employing 1200 additional nurses and 500 paramedics.”

Dr Holland then said that “the threat of workforce burnout is real, and a taskforce has been established and has commenced work looking at the needs of health staff. Access to health care has improved using technology in country areas.”

The fi nal speaker of the meeting was Carmel Donnelly, chair of IPART, the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal. The chair generally informed the assembly of some of the submissions that have occurred this rating year before moving onto the submissions and feedback the tribunal has received from rate payers and councils. This feedback “included abolishing rate pegging, [the] current model doesn’t support council fi nancial sustainability; labour cost changes should be based on the Local Government Award”.

The chair then introduced the ratepayer submissions stating that they “included affordability and cost of living and council’s fi nancial affordability, and council’s fi nancial management and efficiency.”

One of the most difficult challenges is the actual affordability of rates.

The chair argued that “residents have positive views about the services provided by councils”.

The report fi nished by mentioning that recent council technical workshop propose the rate peg should include change in base costs, population factor, ESL factor, productivity factor and other adjustments. According to the minutes of the meeting, IPART are looking at as options.

The meeting concluded with deliberation over some policy changes for the association, discussions over the launch of the website and concluding address by the chair.

MEMBERS of the Billy Bent Ear fan club wore their specially made shirts with pride when the veteran galloper won yet another race, this time the feature sprint at the Talmoi Picnic Races held on Saturday, June 24 at Garah, north of Moree.

Ridden by Leandro Ribeiro for Dubbo trainer Connie Greig in the 1000 metres Black Truck And AG-Helen Boland Memorial Bracelet Handicap, Billy Bent Ear ($2.80) settled behind the leaders then came down the centre of the track for a close win over Loca (Zara Lewis, $3.40) and Bed Talk (Grady Spokes, $3.20).

Prior to Talmoi, Billy Bent Ear had won at Mallawa and now has the overall record of 15 wins and 36 placings from 136 starts and accumulated prizemoney of $245,575.

Bred, owned and fi rst trained by Bob Tyack at Dubbo, the now 10-year-old gelding is often referred to as “Frosty” due to having frost on his ears when newborn.

A later mishap with an ear led to the officially registered name of Billy Bent Ear and is often a talking point amongst racegoers watching the prerace parade.

The initial win came in a maiden handicap at Carinda in August 2015 when ridden

by Kacie Chater to beat Jonah Hex and Pretty Relic.

Along with multiple placings, Billy Bent Ear won another two races in TAB company at Dubbo and Parkes for Bob Tyack with Michael Hack-

ett in the saddle before being sold in 2018 to Michelle Jones and trainer Connie Greig.

Ridden trackwork by Connie Greig, Billy Bent Ear has won 12 races for the stable and is described by Greig as “a lovely horse to handle both on and off the track”.

Presently leading the point score to qualify for the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final over 1400 metres at Coonamble in October, Billy Bent Ear will be set for the race despite not

having won over further than 1100 metres.

“Ridden back in the field I think he could get the trip as he ran third in a field of 14 behind Western Parade and Rua Raposa over 1600 metres at Dubbo in June 2020”, explained the well-respected trainer.

Leandro Ribeiro and Connie Greig also combined with Individualist ($2.30 fav.) and Pahang ($1.60 fav.) to post a winning treble at Talmoi.

Moree trainer Peter Sinclair and jockey Ricky Blewitt had already won the picnic cups at Moree and Mallawa with Fiocchi and were hoping to complete the rare feat of the ‘Golden Triangle Treble’ at Talmoi with the big grey gelding.

Given the run of the race behind the leader Ringside by Blewitt, Fiocchi ($2.80 favourite) battled to the line when eventually fourth in the 1400 metres B and W Rural/Syngenta-WC and R Hunter Tal-

moi Picnic Cup. Trained at Collarenebri by Kelly Smith, Ringside (Zara Lewis, $4.60) won by over a length from Thundozer (Nick Perrett, $10) and Expensive To Keep (Grady Spokes, $4.20).

The other winners were the Jacob Perrett, Tamworth-trained Intello Star (Todd Bailey, $2 fav.) and Super Hot (Tamsin Gough, $4.20) from the Geoff O’Brien stable at Quirindi.
