By HARRIET GILMORE AFTER more than 28 years, Lovett & Green Partner and solicitor, Evan Jones is retiring.

Current partners at the firm, Courtney Colwell and Skye Tyrwhitt, together with the past and present colleagues, clients, and friends, bid a fond farewell and “thank-you” to Evan at his retirement party held at The Warren Museum and Gallery last Friday evening.

Evan fi rst started working at Lovett & Green in 1995, when Paul Keating was still Prime Minister, and recalled his early days at the fi rm with warm reminisce.

“I was fortunate to have two very experienced solicitors in Frere Green and Doug McKay, who gave me great support in the early days, and who were wonderful mentors,” Evan recalled.

“In those days, Lovett & Green had offices in Bourke and Nyngan which helped grow our clientele over a very wide area of Western NSW; fortunately, the advent of new technologies, has meant we are able to service our more-remote clients these days without having to do all the travel, which was necessary back then,” he added.

Changing of the guard; at Western Farm Machinery

By HARRIET GILMORE AFTER more than 20 years at the helm of Western Farm Machinery (WFM) and 46 years in the industry, Jack and Ruth Ryan, have decided to pass on the baton to a new generation.

The highly-successful business has now been sold to Colwell & Murray Pty Ltd, operated by locals Matt and Courtney Colwell from MCC Hydraulics, together with Dean and Anita Murray, who own Conex in Coonamble.

In purchasing the franchise business, the new owners have also taken on the operations in Warren, Gilgandra, and Tottenham, with the Ryan’s retaining Western Mowers and Pumps in Warren.

Mr Ryan said in a statement to clients and suppliers, the decision to sell wasn’t an easy one, but said that it was the right time for a change and a company with new ideas to take the reins.

“It has been a great privilege and honour to have dealt with so many great people during my time at WFM — from the locals, farmers, business-people, and suppliers,

Changing of the guard; at Western Farm Machinery

Jack Ryan has sold Western Farm Machinery after more than 20 years at the helm of the successful business.

Western Farm Machinery changes hands. Dean Murray, Jack Ryan and Matt and Courtney Colwell.

Colwell & Murray Pty Ltd, operated by locals Matt and Courtney Colwell from MCC Hydraulics, together with Dean and Anita Murray who own Conex in Coonamble, have purchased Western Farm Machinery, including operations in Warren, Gilgandra and Tottenham.

PHOTOS: WARREN STAR.

From page 1 All staff and services provided will remain in place, with the addition of Mr Colwell’s hydraulics business with MCC Hydraulics to continue providing the same hydraulics sales and service under the Western Farm Machinery name across all three branches of WFM. Upon taking-over, Mr Colwell was full of praise and recognition for Mr Ryan and the WFM business.

“Jack spent over 20 years building Western Farm Machinery to what it is today; we would like to congratulate him on his achievements, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue his legacy,” Mr Colwell said.

“Throughout those years, he has made a great contribution to the agricultural industry throughout Central West and Western NSW with his tireless work,” he added.

The company, he believes, has shown the resilience required to succeed in all business conditions.

“He has supported farmers and the community through good seasons and bad with a great team by his side; we wish him all the best with what’s to come,” Mr Colwell said.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to deal with the customers that I’ve dealt with over the past 12 years in MCC Hydraulics, and getting to know the Western Farm Machinery customers and hope to be able to maintain the great work

that Jack has done over the last 20 years,” he explained.

Mr Colwell said he and his wife had been looking to expand MCC Hydraulics for some time, when the opportunity arose to buy this well-known and established business.

Staff at Western Farm Machinery said they were sad to say goodbye to Jack this week.

“Jack has built an incredible business over the last 20 odd years, taking time to pass on his knowledge, and inspiring hard work and loyalty from his staff, some of whom have been with him from the beginning,” Mr Colwell said.

“Jack and Western Farm have also been at the centre of Warren, providing not only a service but also always being ready to sponsor and support a local event be it in Warren, Tottenham, Gilgandra or surrounds,” he added.

He said that, Mr Ryan would continue to be a well-respected figure in local business circles.

“It has been a complete pleasure working for Jack and we wish him all the best in his ‘retirement’ — although we are sure he will be keeping himself as busy as ever on the farm. “We also extend our warmest thanks to Ruth for all her hard work and sacrifice over the years; whilst being sad to say goodbye to Jack, we are looking-forward to seeing where the new owners will take us and the business,” Mr Colwell concluded.

Effervescent Jess Taylor, delights VIEW members at monthly meet

New VIEW Club member, Aleta Davis, receives an IGA gift-bag from guest speaker Jess Taylor.

By BETTY FLETCHER WARREN VIEW Club hosted a total of 27 members and guests last week for a most-enjoyable July lunch and meeting.

Special guest speaker for the day, was: “the lady with the big trolley-full of IGA bags”; the truly-effervescent Jess Taylor, and what a delight she was!

Jess, who is the daughter of Phil Waterford and the late Maureen Noonan, has lived in Warren her whole life, and it was in her last year of high school, that she met a young Warren boy by the name of James Taylor — also known as, “JT” — and, as the old saying goes: “the rest is history.”

Jess and JT travelled overseas for a year, but as Jess said: “the levee banks were always calling,” and they both came home to Warren in 2008, and she started working at IGA; then owned by Kevin and Bernadine Taylor and Peter and Marion Thomas.

Since their return 15 years’ ago, life has been non-stop for both Jess and JT. They married and are now the proud parents of three little girls —

Elsie is four, and the twins, Eliza and Audrey, are two.

In 2015, they bought “Mona Vane” on the outskirts of town, which enabled Jess to realise her dream of having a very large garden and, to date, 150 roses have been planted. Her ideal weekend is out in the garden, kids running free, and planting new additions to the ex-tensive gardens on the property.

During this time, JT was also busy establishing his new business — the Warren Meat House — that sources its lamb meat from Nyngan, so it’s a very busy household, indeed. I do hope they fi nd some time to smell those lovely roses!

Jess spoke at the meeting about the mechanics of running a busy supermarket which, by the way, has recently been rebranded to Warren IGA + Liquor. Jess emphasised all IGA stores are independently-owned by local people in the community and, as locals, they have an understanding of what the shoppers want to see on the shelves and what suppliers have the best produce to ser-

vice those needs.

An online shopping experience became available at the store last year, and they also offer phone and email orders, plus free delivery.

As manager of the supermarket, Jess has the responsibility of running the daily operations of the store. In this, she emphasised that it is the staff who are the biggest asset to any business, with their commitment, enthusiasm, attitude, and work ethic, playing a big part in the overall satisfaction provided to customers.

Another vital part of her role, is inventory control to avoid over and under-stocking of products, along with product rotation to reduce spoilage and damage, plus strict compliance with food safety laws.

Each Tuesday and Friday, grocery orders arrive in town, and this involves a breakdown of the pallets, then the huge task of packing the shelves, and price stickers being updated and changed as necessary.

Jess is responsible for all emails, banking, budgeting, health and safety, training, tracking inventory, and theft

prevention — all of which is carried-out daily.

She also looks after all the seasonal orders, such as for Christmas, Easter, and more, which need to be placed months in advance. Jess said Christmas orders for 2023, were placed as early as March!

“I have to say, we laughed a lot at some of the stories Jess told,” a Club spokesperson said. “Who will forget Damian Plunkett as the ‘Security Man’ at the start of the pandemic, when we all stood the prescribed distance apart to gain access to the store to purchase the allo-cated two rolls of loo paper?”

Another thing Jess admitted too, was the time way before ‘gluten-free” was actually a “thing”, she ordered 10 cartons of gluten-free bread, instead of 10 regular loaves!

“Jess, it was a pleasure indeed to have you as our guest speaker, and it was also so good to see part of your ‘support team’; namely, Bernadine Taylor, Kate Waterford, and Taylor McCalman,” the spokesperson said.

“How appropriate it was for

Elsie, JT’s grandmother and long-time VIEW member, to present you with a little gift from Warren VIEW Club to say ‘thank-you’ for making time for us in your busy schedule, and thanks for the great IGA bags and the contents which you wheeled across to us,” they added.

In other news, the Club’s August meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 16, where they will be holding their annual “Trading Day”.

So, ladies please bringalong your cakes, cookies, veggies, fruit, and jams, to help support our “Learning for Life” students.

To comply with health and safety regulations, please ensure all ingredients are detailed, and don’t forget to put a price-sticker on your produce as well.

The August Guest Speaker will be Rosie Turnbull, a local business-woman with her condi-ment products being sold Australia-wide, which I’m sure will be a great story to hear.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, August 2, 2023 FAITH MATTERS

Handling people who get; “Up Our Nose”!

By SIMON CANT WE all get ourselves into a mess sometimes; someone says something thoughtlessly, and we fi re-up!

Then, when it all blows-up and there’s tears, we blame the person who made the throwaway comment. Well, maybe that’s fair to a point. But we need to be truthful (and this makes me wince a little).

The Bible says: “Don’t let evil get the best of you, but conquer evil by doing good” (Romans 12:21).

Evil can consume us, and steal the best of our thoughts, time, passion, and inner peace (and I’m only just getting started). Our “best” belongs to God, and should be applied to loving Him and others.

Most of us, right now, could think of someone who is “up our nose” (a bloke with a nose as big as mine, is capable of housing more than one!).

So here’s the challenge. Let’s call-out confl ict for what it is… evil… and conquer it by choosing a path of peace.

Flu cases up — but it’s not too late to book 2023 jab!

By HARRIET GILMORE AS flu cases across the region continue to rise, Western NSW Health is reminding the community, it’s not too late to get the 2023 influenza shot.

Data released from the fi rst week in July, showed an increase of 45 per cent in influenza cases in Western NSW over the previous week, with a total of 155 cases confi rmed. Presentations to emergency departments with flu-like symptoms, also increased by 19 per cent when compared to the previous week, with 38 presentations.

Western NSW Health’s Acting Manager, Immunisation and Communicable Disease, Belinda Tracy, said that vaccination is particularly vital for children and teenagers, and those at higher-risk of severe illness from influenza.

“Any rise in influenza rates or emergency department presentations, is a reason to stay vigilant, particularly in winter when we already tend to get sick more often,” Ms Tracy said.

“The easiest and best way to keep ourselves healthy through the winter months, is to get an influenza vaccination,” she added.

Vaccination, she explained, also helps reduce the risk of being hospitalised and also helps protect health services and healthcare workers.

“This is particularly important for children aged 16 and under, and those at higher risk of severe illness from influenza,” she said.

“In line with state-wide trends, children 16 and under and people 65 and over have accounted for the majority of people hospitalised due to in-

Across the State, the fi rst week of July showed a 37 per cent increase in emergency department presentations with influenza-like illness and a 30 per cent increase in admissions to hospital.

People considered at high-risk of severe illness from the flu, can receive the jab for free, including children aged from six months to five years, people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal people from six months, pregnant women, and those with a serious health condition.

Parents of children are being encouraged to contact Family Health Nurse Nicole Callen at Warren MPS to arrange a flu shot.

Flu jabs are also available at the RFDS Medical Centre and at Warren Pharmacy in mid August.

Ann brings colour to life with first solo art exhibition

Artist Ann Freeth and her husband Peter.

By LUCIE PEART ART lovers are again being treated to a colourful feast for the eyes with Gilgandra Art Gallery’s new exhibition. Titled ‘Life and Colour’ it is hard to believe that it is local artist Ann Freeth’s very fi rst solo exhibition. Her pallet knife paintings were selling quickly at the opening event held on Saturday, July 2, where friends and family gathered to support Mrs Freeth in opening her exhibition.

Locals would know that Mrs Freeth’s mother, the late Beth Howard, was a particularly talented artist so, it would seem natural that her daughter would also possess the gift of art. However, Mrs Freeth said this was not the case and that art wasn’t even on her radar until a few years ago.

Mrs Freeth said she was encouraged to join Jude Flemming’s Warren-based art class by her farm agronomist, Penny Houston. “I started the art journey - and it is a journey four years ago - which I never dreamed of taking in a million

years. It was never on my radar to do art, it wasn't even on my bucket list,” she said.

Ms Fleming officially opened the exhibition by quoting renowned artists, “Henri Matisse said ‘creative takes courage’, and Anni Albers that ‘art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness’, - it's pretty hard to deny that the world is a whole lot brighter to display something that wasn't there before,” said Ms Fleming.

“I think Ann indemnifies these effects, with the courage to start creating and making paintings as ‘a midlife career choice’. The time comes when you just do what you have to do, and Ann has taken to painting, particularly pallet knife painting like a duck to water. These fabulous works just come out.

Mrs Freeth has painted at least one or two paintings each week, culminating in enough works to fi ll the gallery at Gilgandra.

“These paintings here today are an expression of life and colour, but also my faith in God,” said Mrs Freeth.

“I was actually bulldozed into doing art. I wouldn't have done it otherwise so, sometimes you need someone in your life that will push you into something. I still had very fond memories of the fi rst day going into Jude’s (Fleming’s) studio. I kept asking myself. What on earth am I doing in here?

“But you know, the minute I walked into that room it gave me such a sense of love and belonging. That was kind of a good place to stay. As time went on of course, potential started to come forth, and I kept saying ‘wow, something is happening’. Through all of this, my art relationship was birthed with Jude, and I guess we have never looked back! –

it’s ongoing.

“Could I have done the journey without Jude, I think not. Because God had chosen the right teacher for me to learn, someone who could draw something out in me.

But I needed a gentleness for that. It was through her encouragement, love, gentleness, passion, and nurturing that things came forward.

“I’ve titled this exhibition ‘Life and Colour’. God has given me every opportunity to live life and to make the most of it. So, life is precious, there was a time in my life when it wasn't very precious, and that's why I've named it [life] because I went through a struggle in my life.

And colour, I absolutely love colour. My eyes see more color as I've done art. God has given us a beautiful array of color to enjoy and to work with in this world. Art is not a head thing, it actually comes from your heart and your gut - it comes from the inner part of you, and it's really hard to take that headspace out when you're painting and paint

with your heart.

“The other thing is trust; and I'm starting to learn that I need to trust myself when it comes to painting.

Thank you so much to Jude for the amazing adventure that we're on and still on!

“I have one person I think about today, the most is my mother Beth Howard, who passed away in 2017. Mum was an artist all her life, and she has passed on a beautiful legacy which today I am very thankful for. I know Mum would be very happy.”

Mrs Freeth closed by thanking her husband Peter and her family for their support of her art journey. She also praised the shire’s facilities at the art gallery for enabling the community the space to gather.

“It's such a special place to live and to exhibit,” she said.

A fter Mrs Fleming cut the colourful paper chain to off icially open ‘Life and Colour’, guests enjoyed a good chat along with afternoon refreshments.

Delayed Murray Darling Basin Plan, is at a “critical juncture”

By ANDREW TARRY THE Murray-Darling Basin Plan is one of our great national projects that is a $13 billion investment in our agricultural, economic, and environmental future; but it's now behind time.

With hundreds of gigalitres missing from environment allocations and the consumptive allocation for producers and communities, the Plan, however, is at an important crossroad. With a range of challenges in other areas of its delivery, recently the federal Government has been informed, that the Plan will not be completed on time to meet its original

June 30, 2024, deadline.

Federal Minister for Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek, recently said: “we have to extend the timeframe.”

As reported in the Warren Star recently, the Australian Government has convened a meeting in 2012 with the NSW, ACT, Victoria, and Queensland governments to reach a historic agreement on the growing importance of securing the stability and integrity of the Murray-Darling Basin.

This agreement required the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) to manage and deliver the Basin Plan.

Since then, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan (MDBP) has

regularly faced challenges and difficulties reaching its targets and achieving its objectives.

Earlier this year the MDBA was requested to provide advice to Ms Plibersek on the current state of the plan’s progress.

That advice has now been given by Sir Angus Houston, the MDBA Chair, and, seemingly, the Plan isn’t operating well.

Very few of the objectives and targets of the plan are currently being met and are not on course for 2024. There is an especial: “shortfall of water for the environment” according to the advice from Mr Houston.

The advice presented to Ms Plibersek, also states that: “very little progress has been made in achieving the 450GL per year efficiency target,” and perhaps, even more concerning for the plan, Mr Houston described the situation and the current state of the plan as at “a critical juncture.”

Having arrived at this point, the plan is under more scrutiny than ever. Even with the recent floods literally dumping enormous amounts of water across NSW, South Australia, and Queensland, this has not alleviated a lot of the problems the Basin Authority is experiencing in reaching its targets.

Some progress has been

made, as the MDBA is keen to emphasise with the Chief Executive, Andrew McConville, proclaiming that: “measurable progress has been made on the Northern Basin toolkit and, while two of the six measures are progressing in time for 30 June 2024, the environmental works projects and removal of constraints in the Gwydir catchment will not be completed in time.”

The Chief Executive continues to spruik the Basin Plan, while acknowledging the growing grievances in communities within the basin.

“While five NSW water resource plans have now been accredited, communities

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, August 2, 2023 continue to expect remaining water resource plans to be delivered and there is a sense of frustration that this hasn't happened,” Mr McConville said.

Mr Houston, added another warning, saying: “Only five of 20 water resource plans in NSW have been accredited.

These plans are more than four years behind schedule, and NSW still has seven plans to submit for assessment by the MDBA,” he added.

What is apparent from the announcements and media releases of the Basin Authority and governments alike, is that the number of voices contending to provide the important, critical information, is now creating a cacophony.

The Basin is a significant ecological and economic system and area. It drains one-seventh of the Australian continent and represents one-third of its agricultural production and is more than 2500 kilometres long. The possibility of the Basin’s collapse, both environmentally and economically, is therefore a serious environmental and productive issue.

In forums like the event, which was held in Warren recently, landholders across NSW are voicing their frustrations with the convoluted bureaucratic requirements and the lack of targets so far achieved.

Water is a critical resource and, on the driest inhabited continent on earth, the importance of the Murray-Darling Basin’s health and productivity is paramount.

Questions seem to be rising on the viability of the Plan’s delivery methods and what should take priority between releasing water to the environment to service wetlands, marshes, stream systems, flood plains, or providing water to producers within the basin, or allocating supply to communities relying on rivers for clean drinking water and other amenities.

In some areas, the MDBA has shown the benefits of the plan, Mr McConville said.

“I’m pleased to see that the planning and delivery of water for the environment has helped to improve water quality in many areas following the recent floods and devastating fish death event in the Lower Darling-Baaka River at Menindee,” he believes.

But how does the Basin Plan work? What is it trying to achieve? What is the efficiency target? What are the impacts of not meeting the targets?

The prerogative of the Basin Plan is to set out rules to make sure enough water remains in the river system to protect its health, especially in times of drought. The Murray-Darling Basin Plan uses

“sustainable diversion limits” (SDLs) as a key component of its water delivery and management program. The limits are in place for: f i nd iv idu a l water-u se — by a n i nd iv idu a l fa r mer or i ndu st r y; f cumulative use — the sum of all collective water use in each management area.

The need for this plan came as a result of the millennium drought which lasted from 2002–2009. It is during this time that the dry conditions and below average rainfall: “devastated communities, industries and the environment.”

Impacts included: f The water supply to Adelaide was threatened. f Water was severely restricted to almost 4000 irrigators in South Australia, impacting businesses and agriculture. f A total of 3 3 wetlands did not receive water, risking long-term damage to their ecosystems. f As the lower lakes dried up, acidic soils were exposed, damaging the quality of the water that was left in the river.

According to the information on the limits provided by the Authority: “individual water use is limited by state allocation frameworks. These outline how much water can be used by an individual under their entitlement type or water allocation. Total use is limited under the Basin Plan, through limits known as sustainable diversion limits. Each of the management areas in the Basin has its own limit on water use that Basin states and territories have to adhere to.”

The main apparatus to control and manage the limits is the “sustainable diversion limit adjustment mechanism”, otherwise known as SDLAM. The mechanism has three core parts: “supply projects, which aim to improve water infrastructure and river operating rules.” Some examples are pumping stations, regulators, and levees to deliver water to lakes and floodplains without creating overbank flooding. “Efficiency measures, which improve water delivery systems, including urban and on-farm infrastructure to achieve enhanced environmental outcomes by recovering an additional 450 GL for the environment.”

These outcomes are in the southern basin catchments, which is in the south, southwest portion of NSW, northern Victoria, and the Lower Murray catchment in the southeast corner of South Australia.

The fi nal part is constraints easing: “to overcome impedi-

ments to delivery water down the stream. They can include changes to physical features such as crossings and bridges, as well as negotiating easements where private land is flooded.” The SDLAM measures and projects are developed towards “upgrading irrigation systems, lining water delivery channels, installing water meters, changing urban water management practices to reduce water use, and improving water productivity in manufacturing and irrigated agriculture. Projects must have a positive or neutral socio-economic impact on Basin communities and industries.”

The method used in deploying the mechanism is described as “complex” and includes components such as: computer (hydrological) models, hydrological indicator sites, limits on hydrological change, ecological equivalence scoring. It also works by comparing project outcomes with the Basin Plan then applies a test during the comparison to ensure that equivalent environmental outcomes of the Basin Plan are being achieved.

Every year, the MDBA releases an assurance report on the effectiveness of the mechanism. It’s in the most recent report, published July 2023, in which the Basin Plan is shown to not be meeting its targets.

The report states that “in conjunction with the fi ndings of previous years’ assurance report, of the original 37 SDLAM measures: f 14 are currently operational; f Six are likely to be operable

by June 30, 2024; f 16 will not/are unlikely to be operable by June 30, 2024; f One was not progressed nor modelled.

The inoperable measures, create a significant problem for the plan and its original June 30 date. That is, shortfalls with water recovery targets. The MDBA states that: “accounting for water recovery is a complex process and requires understanding a diverse range of information.”

One aspect for water recovery is that all the basin states need to have accredited water resource plans.

“NSW submitted all 20 of its plans in June 2020. However, these plans were subsequently withdrawn as they were assessed to be inconsistent with the Basin Plan.

“So far, NSW has not had any more resources plans accredited. This affects the recovery targets as it creates uncertainty around how much water is going to be required from the system to meet the target.”

The most substantial shortfalls are in two of the water recovery sources. The supply

projects and efficiency measures. This is the reason for the critical juncture. A review by the Water for the Environment Special Account, which funds the recovery of environmental water in the Murray Darling Basin, found in March 2020 that recovering the 450 GL of water for the environment, a key component to restore health to the basin system has become a mammoth task.

An assessment of the issue from the report found that “only 1.9 GL, or less than one per cent of the required volume, has been recovered to date (as at February 2020).”

It now seems that reaching the 450 GL target is not possible by the June 2024 date. The review continued by arguing that: “to recover almost the entire 450 GL in the less than 4.5 years remaining, the rate of recovery would need to accelerate to more than 100 GL per year, starting immediately.”

By the Special Account’s next review, two years later, the amount of water recovered or contracted to be recovered had risen to 2.6 GL; well short of the 450 GL target.

The situation is now such that: “putting aside program and timing limitations, the estimated cost to recover the full 450 GL through efficiency measures is between $3.4 billion and $10.8 billion.”

The other major shortfall is the 44.3 GL in the ‘Bridging the Gap’ target. The Commonwealth plans to act on the issue by buying that water off willing sellers.

The date over the viability of the plan and the realistic chances of meeting deadlines has now started to become a focus of debate.

Ms Plibersek, in an announcement and response to the advice given by Mr Houston, has said that for the extension to the June 2024 deadline: "we're certainly not talking about five or 10 years.

“What I won't do is give an open-ended opportunity to the States to delay and delay. We're talking about some extensions with an increased expectation of delivery.

“What I want to see from the states and territories is that if they do get extra time, they will deliver the plan, it's not an option not to deliver the plan,” she emphasised.

The critical juncture of the Plan and the current situation, has also caused environment and conservation groups from multiple Basin states to criticise the management and implementation of the Basin Plan.

Chief Executive of the Conservation Council of South Australia, Craig Wilkins, has said: “with the UN declaring an El Nino and Australia facing a dry spell, right now is the worst possible time to deprive

wetlands and wildlife of the water they will need to survive tough times ahead.

“The 450 gigalitres of water that the Albanese Government promised for the environment before the election must be delivered as soon as possible.

“We are pleased that Minister Plibersek has today committed to delivering that required water.

“We are calling on the SA Government to stand fi rm and insist on iron-clad guarantees the promised water will be delivered.

We’ve already had more than 10 years of delays delivering this water promised for the environment. And look at the result – the Darling-Baaka running dry, millions of dead fish, and toxic blackwater events because small and medium floods haven’t been able to flush out the landscape,” he concluded.

This view has been shared by the NSW Conservation Council CEO, Jacqui Mum ford.

“When we are seeing largescale fish kills even in wet years, it should send alarm signals about what we might see in future dry years. Entire communities have run out of water and ecosystems are collapsing, with native fish populations have declined by 90 per cent, and even once common birds like the Pink Cockatoo being at risk of extinction.

“The river system is still sick, despite the recent rains, and if we don’t restore more natural flows, we’re putting it at risk of ecological collapse when water becomes more scarce,” she said.

The CEO of Environment Victoria and Queensland Conservation Council, also provided supporting statements and criticised the situation.

Government officials are now scrambling to remain positive on the challenges the Basin Plan faces.

“We want to ensure that the next steps we take are towards maximising water recovery efforts so that the environmental, economic, social and cultural outcomes intended by the basin plan can be achieved,” NSW Water Minister, Rose Jackson, said.

“Let me be clear, the Albanese government is committed to delivering the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in full, which includes the extra 450GL of water for the environment,” Ms Plibersek added.

The Basin Plan is due for some major reviews in the next few years as well as increased scrutiny as the country faces more dry spells. At this stage, the Basin Plan remains at its “critical juncture”, with a long road ahead.

Meet me at the Nyngan Ag Expo!

OUR Nyngan Ag Expo barbecue lunch is coming-up this weekend at the Nyngan showgrounds.

This should be an excellent event, with both myself and my friend and colleague, Sarah Mitchell (MLC) in attendance.

This will be an opportunity to hear me speak and also chat to me in person about issues which matter to you.

Warialda Little Athletics IT was my pleasure to attend the fi rst presentation for the Warialda Little Athletics Club.

I was glad to present two major awards to Harley Cowell — Junior Champion, and Holly Whalan — Senior Champion.

These young people are out-

standing athletes, and clubs like these support them to achieve great things.

The Warialda Little Athletics Club also received $1000 from the Australian government's Volunteer Grants program in the last round, 2022/23.

Basin Plan deadlines extended I WELCOME the news that the Labor government will extend the deadline for completion of the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

It seems that the Minister for Water and the Environment, Tanya Plibersek, has fi nally realised after 18 months, that delivery of the Plan is not so straight-forward, involving complexities not all within Federal Government control.

I maintain that the Labor government’s promise of an additional 450 gigalitres of water for the environment, should not be delivered, unless it is proven to result in only positive or neutral socio-economic outcomes.

Water for the environment is great, but should be managed in a way which avoids damage to local communities, and even with this in place, it cannot totally cancel the impact of extremes such as drought or flooding.

Fed and NSW Gov’t funds for flood communities’ recovery

By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW and Federal Government are jointly funding a program designed to boost the flood recovery efforts across NSW. The funding is available as a $9.1 million grant: “for community organisations and non-government organisations as they help flood-affected regions on their road to recovery.”

The money will go to service providers and non-gov-

ernment organisations in the Western, Murrumbidgee, Far West and New England districts. The funding is designed to: “provide a range of support, including staffing costs to meet increased demand for help,” Federal Minister for Emergency Management, Senator Murray Watt, said.

“We are providing support for local and non-government organisations as they help lift communities back on their feet after these disasters,” he explained.

NSW Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib said that while natural disasters come and go, their impact can last for months.

“While storms may last a few days, the recovery efforts can take several years, from rebuilding homes to re-establishing businesses,” he said.

“Once emergency services leave disaster-affected areas, community and non-government organisations play a crucial role in helping people recover and rebuild; it is im-

portant we support these onthe-ground organisations who assist NSW communities, and these grants will mean they can continue to provide vital services,” he added.

f $1.5 million will be allocated for administration and local support, including on-theground flood support officers deployed on the ground to support grant recipients throughout the life of the grant.

A breakdown of the funding comprises: f $6.5 million to go to community and volunteer-based non-government organisations across the Western, Murrumbidgee, Far West and New England districts.

f $1.1 million will be available for applications from current NSW Department of Communities and Justice service providers.

NAB’s Warren branch closure, as Committee queries rubbery in-person customer numbers

By EMILY MIDDLETON PROFIT-GOUGING banks, wouldn’t fudge branch visitor numbers, would they?

This was the question on critics’ minds with the announcement that Warren’s NAB branch, will close its doors for the last time in just a few weeks’, on Tuesday, August 22.

The NAB closure didn’t come to a surprise to most customers, as the local storefront has already seen reduced staff, reduced hours, and reduced days open. The bank recently claimed also, that more customers are choosing to do their banking online, over the phone, or by video conference,

with over-the-counter transactions in significant decline.

NAB stated that closing the branch was a difficult decision and took a lot into consideration. They stated that, approximately 50 per cent of their customers in Warren, have only visited the branch once in the last year.

They also stated that only eight per cent of NAB Warren customers rely on branch-only banking, and no other methods.

However, in a recent Standing Committee on Economics held in mid-July into a review of Australia’s four major banks, NAB’s measuring of in-person interactions was proven to be slightly-skewed.

Committee Chair, Labor MP, Daniel Mulino, stated that if one were to think about banks 50 years ago, people would think about somebody coming-in, going to a counter, withdrawing cash and walking-out, or coming-in, depositing cash, and walking-out.

“With the data that you collect about branch activity, obviously that kind of engagement has reduced, but what about people coming into the bank to talk to somebody to help them navigate the digital system? How many interactions are there of a different nature?” Mr Mulino asked.

“You probably record all of the different kinds of things that people do when they come

in?” he added.

In response, Group Executive of Personal Banking at NAB, Rachel Slade, stated that these customer visits are “challenging” to collate.

“Those interactions that don't result in a transaction, are actually very challenging to measure and we don't measure them,” Ms Slade said.

“It's very hard to measure the non-transactional activity,” she added.

She explained that a number of parameters went into determining branch use and customer interaction.

“When we're looking at our network and the activity that is going on, we're also engaging with our local teams

about who they're seeing, what they're concerned about and where else their customers might be travelling to do other things in their lives,” she said.

“A lot of customers use more than one branch, if they are branch-based bank customers, but there are very few customers — in fact, in our personal bank, it's only about three per cent of our customers — who only use the branch,” she claimed.

NAB has since announced four more regional branch closures in Kyogle, Woolgoolga, Inglewood, and Mitchell, three months after submissions to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Regional Bank Closures were closed.

“Truly fantastic community” turns-out in big numbers for Marra’s annual Field Day

A competitor in the McDonald Wool Farmers Challenge takes on the “44-gallon horse” — the wildest bronc in the Marra district!

The Reid Family of “Kimbriki” were winners of the inaugural Paul Kelly Memorial Trophy for Grand Champion Ewe at the Marra Field Day.

By HARRIET GILMORE A FANTASTIC crowd of about 500 producers made the pilgrimage to Marra for the annual Field Day held on Saturday, July 22.

More than 30 sheep studs and three goat studs were on show as well as almost 40 stalls and supplier exhibits with organiser, Kellie Turnbull, describing the event as one of the biggest and most successful field days her small committee has held so far.

Previously set-down for a Friday, this year’s event was moved to Saturday, with Ms Turbull saying the change proved an excellent innovation as it gave those with families or jobs off-farm the chance to attend and enjoy the event, as well as the ability to stay for the week-end.

This year, the Marra Field Day Committee were also proud to introduce the Grand Champion Ewe Competition,

in memory of Paul Kelly; an esteemed member of the Egelabra Merino Stud family and an avid promoter of the Merino sheep industry within the Marra and surrounds.

Ms Turnbull said the new trophy was to honour Paul’s life’s work and his undoubted contribution to the Merino industry.

“We feel privileged to uphold Paul’s legacy, and will endeavour to make this competition a fitting and long-lasting celebration of his life and accomplishments,” Kellie said.

The inaugural winners of the Paul Kelly Memorial Trophy, were the Reid family from “Kim-briki”, she added.

The Field Day is designed as an opportunity for the sheep and goat industry to come to-gether annually, but also the chance for vital fundraising for the community with, this year, 50 per cent of the proceeds from the auction and the “Calcutta Dinosaur” race,

donated to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

The RFDS provides essential primary healthcare and 24-hour emergency services to the area, including a monthly GP Clinic every month at the Marra Hall.

Jack and Kym Green from the Marra Creek Border Leicester Stud, also generously donated a ram for the auction this year, with all proceeds going directly to the RFDS. Kellie said that this was inspired by an anxious time when the Green’s baby, Rodger, was critically-ill and needed urgent medical assistance.

“Roger had to be flown to a major hospital for care for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus),” Kellie recalled.

“We are immensely thankful for having access to these services (RFDS) when living in rural and remote areas of NSW; it is indeed reassuring, to know that we

have these services available to us,” she added.

Another new addition for the Field Day this year, was the McDonald Wool Farmers Challenge, featuring an impressive line-up of men and women competing in a thrilling combina-tion of party games/Ninja Warrior obstacles.

Challenges included eating a dry weetbix whilst treading washers, building portable panels, and riding a 44-gallon horse — referred to as the “wildest bronc in the Marra district”!

Local boy, Teague Hall was crowned the winner of the Farmers Challenge, with Marra Hall Trustee President, Jack Green, coming-in a close second.

Other winners from the day, included Egelabra senior jackaroo, Tom Scifleet who won the Men’s Sheep Counting competition and the Dinosaur Foot Race — involving competitors racing, fully-dressed in

inflatable dinosaur costumes!

In other competition, local, Locky McKinnon, won the Junior Sheep Counting with Jemma Perko from Nyngan picking-up the prize for the Women’s Sheep Counting.

“On behalf of the MFD Committee, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone who contributed to making the day a huge success,” Kellie said.

“Special thanks to those who manned the barbecue, bar, and organised the events through-out the day, exhibitors, market stalls, studs and, last but not least, the general public for their unwavering support, as evidenced by the 500 people that came through the gates,” Kellie added.

“W hat a t r u ly fa nt ast ic com mu n it y we l ive i n!” she concluded.

By HARRIET GILMORE

A PACK of “wild animals” descended on Warren IGA last Tuesday morning, with students from St Mary’s Parish School putting on a great show for shoppers!

This involved a “flash mob” — an impromptu performance — from School’s production of the musical, The Lion King Junior, taking-over the supermarket’s fruit and vegetable section for a show.

The students performed in a variety of African animal costumes for the show, breaking-out in song with a spectacular rendition of the emblematic number, The Circle of Life, for dozens of surprised shoppers and proud parents.

St Mary’s Music and Drama teacher, Frances Evans, said that all students and staff, have really thrown themselves into The Lion King Junior production; designed for younger performers and based on the famous Disney fi lm of the 1990s.

“The commitment to present a top-quality school production, from the back-stage crew, to the making of sets and props, through to the stars of the cast... everyone is working together, as one, well-oiled, musical machine,” Ms Evans enthused.

“St Mary’s Parish School has presented musicals and plays before, and they have always been followed by great applause and appreciation; this will be no different,” she added.

The school performance in late August, she adds, is for anyone who loves the iconic musical numbers (penned by Elton John and Tim Rice), that were such a feature of the original animated movie.

“Our school welcomes the whole community to come and enjoy,” Ms Evans said.

“The show will defi nitely be a highlight of the year for many, and not just the kids!” she concluded.

The St Mary’s production of Disney’s The Lion King Junior,is on Friday, August 25 at Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre with seating based on the principle, fi rst-in, best-dressed, and only 250 tickets available.

If the flash mob performance is anything to go by, the show should be a true spectacle, so get your tickets early!

Connie Greig’s Black Hill Kitty wins Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Macquarie Picnic Cup at the top of the straight and punters who backed the $1.50 favourite were feeling reasonably confident.

Not to be denied, Billy Bent Ear (Grady Spokes, $6) gradually wore down the favourite and in the fi nal strides edged to a long head win over Castlebar Road (Sally Faulks) with Bizarro (Michael Gray, $15) fi nishing third in the 800 metres Rebel Ag and Delta Open Trophy Handicap.

The day became even better for leading trainer Connie Greig when she won the 1400 metres Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Macquarie Picnic Cup with Black Hill Kitty. Miss Ash Star and Sons Of Bourke vied for the lead from the outset with Leeton-based Breanna Bourke giving Black Hill Kitty a nice run in fourth position alongside

stablemate Individualist.

Producing a good fi nishing run, Black Hill Kitty ($7) won by nearly two lengths from Amazingly (Sebastian Galea, $6) which came from last while Madison Point (Ricky Blewitt, $6) ran third after looking a threat in the straight.

Jane Clement from Bendemeer, who trains the cup runner-up Amazingly, had earlier won the 1100 metres Elders and Aaron Pearce Transport Seed Cleaning Class B Handicap with Adviser.

Well ridden by Sebastian Galea, Adviser ($4) gained a rails’ run to beat Geesheehan (Grady Spokes, $2.80 favourite) and Jackal (Zara Lewis, $7).

A much-improved young rider, Sebastian Galea made it a double when he won the 1400 metres Warrego Gypsum and Lewis Ag Logistics Maiden Plate on the Ian Holland, Coon-

amble-trained Castlehyde.

Nearly causing an upset was the Leo Harland, Gilgandra trained $26 outsider Down The Back (Grady Spokes) which established a big lead before being run down and beaten a long neck by Castlehyde $2.70 fav.) with Take On Manhattan (Michael Gray, $3.40) a handy third.

Sarah McIlrick, who has stables at Alectown, between Parkes and Tomigley, is the trainer of Asteria Star, stylish winner of the 1100 metres Inland Petroleum Maiden Plate.

Sweeping to the front in the straight, Asteria Star (Michael Gray, $8) was a two lengths winner from Seminara (Ricky Blewitt, $3.50) and Red Card Rosie (Zara Lewis, $26).

Gilgandra-based Zara Lewis, who rode successfully at the professional races, has returned to the Picnic cir-

cuit and she won the 1400 metres Andrew Peadon Agencies and Bell, Potter, and Nutrien Class B Handicap on Gundawarra for Quirindi trainer Geoff O’Brien.

Overtaken in the straight, Gundawarra ($2.10 fav.) came again to beat Her Call (Ricky Blewitt, $8.50) and Nopain (Sebastian Galeaa, $4).

There was also success for a Gilgandra jockey and trainer the previous day at the Dubbo TAB meeting. Well-ridden by James Rogers for trainer Ashley Gibson, Quick Floss ($18) raced handy to the lead then fought on gamely to beat Vinlago (Dylan Stanley, $21) and Chookster (Julia Presits, $16) in a close fi nish to the 1000 metres Tooheys Old Country Boosted Maiden Plate.

“Pumas” men’s teams roaring back against both Gular and Dubbo Roos

By HARRY GAYNOR FRIDAY Night footy returned to Victoria Oval as Gulargambone Rugby Club came to town for Round 12 of the Western Plains Rugby competition.

Both the Warren Men’s and Women’s sides, were eager to return to form after losing to Walgett the previous week.

For starters, the “Pumarettes” were pleasantly-surprised by a better turn-out in player numbers compared to previous weeks, as they took on the “Flamin’ Galahs” Firsts.

Both teams were tied on second place on the ladder, with the start of the match a tightly-fought contest.

The Pumarettes then brought a high-level of intensity to their attack and, eventually, Kaitlin Staniforth broke a deadlock with a magnificent try after stepping around the Galahs’ defence. The opponents fought back to score just before half time and, after the break, they gained the lead with another try. Momentum was swinging Gulargambone’s way as Warren forfeited the ball numerous times with a number of mistakes, and a doubtful refereeing decision

gifted them a third try. Eventually, they took the lead out to 20-5, yet the Pumarettes weren’t ready to give it up.

Pip Storer’s return to the team saw her cross-over for a try with 10 minutes to go and, not long after, Abby Standing found some space on the wing to score as well.

A last almighty push from the Pumarettes nearly got a tied game, but the Flamin’ Galahs held on to win 20-15.

Player points were, three to Pip Storer; two to Alison Ruskin-Rowe; and one went to Abby Standing.

After a disheartening defeat to Walgett last week, the Pumas fi rst grade were also eager to get back to their winning ways. Although they were missing some key players, the Pumas were quick to make inroads against the Tri-Colours, with winger Sam Hunt opening the scoring out-wide within the fi rst two minutes.

Ben Grant and Joe Hamblin were quick to follow with tries each, as Warren’s backline found space across all parts of the field. Gulargambone weren’t willing to let the lead get away too quickly though.

Although they came with only one bench player, they

started to put-on some clinical tackling and pilfering to make quite a challenge for Warren’s forwards. Yet some mistakes towards the end of the half, allowed more scoring to push the lead out to 32 points at half-time.

Warren continued to fi nd space out-wide in the second half and kept pushing the lead out. Sam Hunt and Joe Hamblin eventually got three tries each, and two tries were achieved by Peter Nadin and Hagan Size.

The game reached full-time as the Pumas were able to tally a total of 77 unanswered points against the Galahs. Three player points were awarded to Hagan Size; two to John Ashleigh; and one to Mac Symons.

The next day, on Saturday, July 29, Warren then took a Second Grade side over to Dubbo to take-on the Kangaroos’ Third Grade side under lights.

Although a few players were required to back-up from the night before, it was an opportunity for plenty of younger players to prove their abilities against a well-respected club.

Dubbo seemed to grace the field with a substantial advantage in size, age and numbers, yet the Pumas were able to dis-

rupt a lot of their attacking play early-on. Five-eight, Tom McLean, was intent on throwing the ball wide early, and eventually was able to send Peter Nadin through some wide space to open the scoring for the game.

The frustration from Dubbo was visible early as they seemed to have underestimated the Black Cats, as they struggled to make any advantage from their lineouts and scrummaging.

Eventually, they were able to capitalise on loose ball from Warren and evened-up the score 5-5 at halftime.

After the break, Warren were back on the attack again, as a strong kicking game from Peter Nadin and Hagan Size gave the Pumas great field position. Eventually, a turnover close to the line allowed, a “sea-gulling” Jack Kelly the space to get close to the line, and somehow manage to shift the ball to rampaging winger, Gus Bryant, for him to score his fi rst-ever try in rugby.

The Pumas were on a high and the Roos frustrated again, with the local team hitting-back with a barrage of fierce defence that kept the next 15 minutes of play back in

Warren’s half. Seemingly, half the Pumas side were ironedout from the display of crunching tackles, eventually allowing Dubbo to answer back with an unconverted try.

Down by two points, the Roos took the unexpected field goal option to open the lead to one point with five minutes to go.

Yet the Warren forwards were able to steal two consecutive lineouts, and set to work down the paddock with a terrific ruck and mauling option.

Jack Kelly led from the front with numerous rioting runs, and he managed to miraculously nestle his chin under the posts with a try to win the game for Warren on the siren.

The home crowd was silenced yet had nonetheless been treated to an excellent game of footy, as the visiting Pumas came out victorious, 19-13.

Three player points were awarded to Charlie McCaskey; two to Conor Anderson; and one to Frank Baker.

Next week, the Pumas have a bye before heading to Coonamble to take-on the Rams in the final round of the regular season.

SECOND and fi nal round of the Club Championships was played last Saturday as a 27Hole Strokeplay event.

For the weather, the “Golf Gods” were defi nitely looking kidly upon players, as the day was just glorious.

With all grades being very close after the fi rst round held last Saturday, it was anybody’s opportunity to get their hands on the Champions Cup and, with 18 holes down, it was still very close with only one point between the top A-Grade players. The B-Grade scores were even, so it was still anyone’s game. With everyone;s scores fi nally in, the calculations began, with the winners decided.

The A-Grade best-score

for the second round was Deb Kentwell on 132 with the B-Grade winner Barb Laws, on 143. In other results, the C-Grade went to Kaye Martin on 147, and the Handicap winner was Sandy Moore on 106.

Overall winners across the 54-holes (and the 2023 Club Champions) were: f in A-Grade, Deb Kentwell on 270, the Runner-Up was Sandy Moore on 271; f in B-Grade, the winner was Judy Ridley on 301, the Runner-Up was Josie Cosgrove on 303; f in C-Grade, the winner was Kaye Martin on 307; the Runner-Up, Amanda Thomas on 322; f The Overall Handicap win-

ner was Lyn Rawlinson on 228; f Golf balls also went to Deb, Sandy, Barb, Kaye, and Judy.

Congratulations to the winners, and well-done to the Ladies that played in the 2023 Championships. In another highlight, a scrumptious hightea was enjoyed by all players, following the presentations.

It was a big week for Deb all-over with, last Wednesday, playing of the Deb Kentwell Trophy Day; an American foursome mixed invitational.

In this event, it was so great to see that each of the seven ladies playing, managed to get themselves a paired man for the day, well done!

This was another beautiful sunny Winter’s day, which

allowed some great golf to be played by all competitors.

Coming-in eventual winners though, on a score of 69.6, were Kaye Martin and James Taylor; runners-up on 74.8, was Deb Kentwell and Charles Tilley, and; in third-place, was Pook Austin and Ken McNair.

Nearest-the-Pin prizes, went to James Taylor for the men, and Kaye Martin for the ladies, with thanks, again, to Deb for her continued sponsorship.

Upcoming events include, on Wednesday, August 2, the Di Simmons and Pook Austin Trophy Day, which is an 18Hole Strokeplay event and the August Medal for the Sixth Round of the Ladies Golf Union (LGU).

On Saturday, August 5, is Lyle Carters’ Memorial Trophy Day; an 18-Hole Stableford being played in conjunction with the 18-Hole Strokeplay August Medal, and sixth round of the LGU Second Round Handicap Cup. On Sunday, August 6 is the rescheduled Rotary Charity Day Three-Person Ambrose with any combinations, and even learners, welcome with a 10am for 10.30am “shotgun start”.

Joke: Some golfers lie awake at night and brood on what went wrong, I’d rather think of what went right… it doesn’t take as long!
