Big-rig drivers at Nevertire, keen to keep in the loop of road laws

By HARRIET GILMORE AN information session in Nevertire last week was designed to keep big-rig drivers up-to-date on the laws and regulations relating to heavy vehicles.

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) hosted event was one of seven sessions happening around the State with 14 locals who attended the forum at Nevertire Hall hailing from Warren, Nevertire, Tottenham, Trangie, and Dubbo.

The events were aimed at showcasing the NHVR’s regulatory role, how they can help the industry, and to offer an opportunity for drivers to ask questions in an open discussion format with safety officers, without the fear of repercussions, the NHVR’s West NSW Stakeholder Engagement Officer, Bethany Magill said.

“The events have been a really good opportunity to clarify the role of NHVR,” Ms Magill said.

Flying high; RFDS helps parents tackle drug, alcohol abuse in local teenagers

By HARRIET GILMORE THEY’RE the legendary air medical service for those living in rural, remote, and regional areas of Australia, and now they’re taking a role locally against one of our greatest health threats.

The Rural Flying Doctors Service (RFDS) are teaming-up with local counsellors, to help run a series of “Carers Supporting Teens” education sessions for local parents from late August in Warren.

Recent studies have found that drug use, excessive drinking in particular, is a bigger problem in the bush than the city, with people in regional and remote areas more likely to drink frequently or at levels that are harmful to their health.

In recent years, there’s also been an increase in demand for amphetamine treatment services in rural NSW, overtaking alcohol as the most commonly-treated drug of dependence. The rate of drug-induced deaths, is also increasing in regional and remote areas.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, people in remote and very remote areas, like Warren, were about 1.6 times as likely as those in major cities to consume alcohol at levels that exceeded both the lifetime risk guideline and the

From page 1 “There hasn’t been a lot of understanding of that in the past, and we are trying our best to come across as an approachable organisation,” she added.

The Federal Government agency now wants to change perceptions of its role, as simply that of a big stick in the road transport industry.

“We’ve always been seen as the compliance regulator, but we’re really trying to put a shift on that, and make ourselves available to the community, to small businesses, to farmers and other stakeholders,” Ms Magill said.

“We offer a support role as such, so they can ask us questions, discuss issues, and get educated, with enforcement really our last resort,” she explained.

Ms Magill said Never-

tire, and the other forum locations, were chosen as the organisation wanted to get-in at a grassroots level and talk directly to the drivers.

“Nevertire although small, is at a huge crossroads of industries and drivers; there are the huge grain silos, the cotton gins throughout the areas, and lots of farmers and other small businesses who can really learn a lot from the sessions.

“They are the pinnacle of industry out here and, although, there might be only 14 people here today, they could be 14 really important, really productive people, so I hope they get a lot from today,” she said.

The forums included plenty of discussion around fatigue and the movement of agricultural and oversized vehicles, in particular, Ms Magill said.

Chance of any rain: 50% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy.

Areas of morning frost. Medium chance of showers in the afternoon and evening. Light winds becoming west to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day then tending west to southwesterly during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between minus 1 and 5 above zero with daytime temperatures reaching between 16 and 21.

Sun protection recommended from 9:50 am to 2:20 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 5 [Moderate] Friday, August 18 Min 5. Max 17. Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 30% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy.

The chance of morning fog. High chance of showers

Nevertire farmer, Doug Druce, was one of those in attendance at the event, and said it was a very well run and interesting session.

“It was probably more targeted for the transport industry, but it was interesting to hear a bit about what they have to do with permits, logbooks, etc,” Mr Druce said.

“There was a section at the end about farming equipment, which I did fi nd very useful,” he added.

He said that for farmers who transport heavy farm equipment, this information is vital.

“Just for some clarity around the rules of oversized and different combinations of farming equipment.

“The current gazette of notices (rules for mass and dimensions for oversize equipment) will expire on 30 April 2024 and

in the south, slight chance elsewhere. Light winds becoming westerly 15 to 25 km/h during the morning.

Overnight temperatures falling to between 2 and 5 with daytime temperatures reaching between 14 and 19.

Sun protection recommended from 10:00 am to 2:10 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 4 [Moderate] Saturday, August 19 Min 6. Max 15. Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 20% Sunday, August 20 Min 2. Max 19. Partly Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 mm.

Chance of any rain: 5% Monday, August 21 Min 3. Max 21. Sunny. Possible rainfall: 0 mm. Chance of any rain: 5%

that was a key take away for me,” he explained.

After the event, Ms Magill said the Nevertire session was very interactive and upbeat, with attendees broaching a number of concerns and possible solutions.

“The feedback following the session was very positive; we were very pleased with the turn-out and the attitude of attendees, and feel as though the pro-active approach from attendees, enabled them to gain as much as possible from our session,” she said “We’d like to thank those who were able to attend; for anyone who wasn’t able to make it or may have any questions, feel free to contact me and check out the NVHR for further information,” she concluded.

FAITH MATTERS

What is the church to you? Not a building, but people!

By SHIRLEY TODHUNTER WHAT is the church to you? Do you see it simply as those three buildings in Lawson Street, or do you see it as it really is — a group of people joined by outward signs and inner Spirit, totally involved in every facet of life.

Not a group removed from the mainstream of life, such as a “religious society”, with rules and regulations that bind them together and exclude others. Rather, just ordinary people like you and me.

The church is not just a building, it is people. People from every walk of life, people with different personalities and ambitions, coming together to share in God’s love,

to support and care for each other, and those around them.

People you meet every day, your friends, not a separate race, but an important part of the community of Warren.

Perhaps you don’t consider yourself a “religious” person and feel unsure about just what happens in church, perhaps afraid that you might embarrass yourself by not being able to fi nd the right page in the prayer book or sing the hymns.

Don’t be afraid. We have our fears and worries, our hopes and despairs, just as you do.

We would be glad to welcome you into our midst. Why don’t you give it a try. After all, faith matters; God bless!

“Our program, Carers Supporting Teens, is a community action plan designed in response to local input, to offer practical knowledge and strategies to better equip parents and carers of teens to navigate challenges and minimise harms of alcohol and other drugs, as well as the potential mental health ups and downs that come with those formative years,” Matt explained.

“Kicking-off on (Monday) August 28, there are 10 free sessions planned, covering education on the effects of alcohol and other drugs, recognising and responding to overdoses, how to communicate effectively with a teenager experiencing challenges, safe party planning, and law matters, plus much more,” he added.

The “Carers Supporting Teens” education sessions will be facilitated at the

Warren Youth and Community Centre by a team made up of a psychologist, doctor, counsellors, and other mental health, alcohol, and other drug professionals, and will run weekly from late August.

Kelly Sinclair from the Warren Youth Support Group and Warren Local Drug Action Team, said the idea of forming the Local Drug Action Team and the Community Action Program, is to strengthen the community’s awareness around drug and alcohol use in teens.

“Through these sessions, we are hoping to support parents with the right measures to tackle these issues in an educated and informative way,” Kelly said “We will learn the ways to reduce risks, how to implement prevention strategies, and exactly what roles we play as community members and parents,” she added.

For a parent, modern teen culture can be equal parts confusing, bewildering, and opaque.

“With kids being exposed to so much social media, we are wanting to make sure the information they are learning is correct,” Kelly said.

“Terminology changes, procedures change, laws change, and I feel it is extremely important for everyone who has any interaction with these youth, to be kept up-to-date,” she added.

She acknowledged the invaluable support from the century-old RFDS, one of the world’s most innovative medical providers.

“It has been an amazing experience working alongside the Royal Flying Doctors and other medical professionals on this program,” she said.

“I look forward to being able to share this knowledge with our youth and community,” Kelly concluded.

Roadworks progressing well on Dubbo Street, Friday finish

Road works on the IGA side of Dubbo Street this week; all work is expected to be wrapped-up by this Friday, August 18.

By HARRIET GILMORE ROADWORKS on Dubbo Street are progressing well and will, hopefully, finish on Friday, Warren Shire Council has advised.

The works have moved to the IGA side of Dubbo Street, after the successful laying of new asphalt was completed on the Shire Council building side of Dubbo Street over last weekend.

Line markings and pedestrian crossings

are still to be completed, but Warren Shire Council’s Roads Infrastructure Manager, Stephen Glen, said that the works are ontrack to be soon fi nalised.

“We thank the community for their continued understanding and patience while this necessary work has been completed,” Mr Glen said.

I’m very pleased all has progressed on schedule, with work expected to be all completed by Friday,” he added.

Unusual winter watch-out, sunburnt sheep in district

Sheep with sunburn from photosensitisation, with speculation that an insect, the cowpea aphid, often found in lucerne, could be causing photosensitisation in sheep the Local Land Services has found. PHOTO: LOCAL LAND SERVICES FACEBOOK PAGE.

Local vet, Dr Erica Kennedy, has seen a number of local cases of the condition photosensitisation causing sunburn in sheep recently.

PHOTO: WARREN STAR.

By HARRIET GILMORE IT’S not something that local graziers would normally have to worry about at this time of year, but cases are now being found of sheep with severe burns on their skin.

Local Land Services (LLS) and district veterinarians, therefore, are encouraging district producers to be on the lookout for signs of “sunburn” caused by photosensitisation in sheep.

Photosensitisation is where stock, particularly those grazing on lucerne, become abnormally sensitive to sunlight due to toxins in plants they have eaten.

These then create photodynamic agents (PDAs) in their skin with the result that the sheep get sunburnt on exposed, unpigmented parts of their body.

Local vet, Dr Erica Kennedy, revealed that there have been a number of cases of the

condition in Warren region recently, but added that she sees the problem every year in varying degrees due to a range of causes.

Dr Kennedy said essentially that photosensitisation occurs, when sheep have eaten a toxic plant, which then damages their liver. The damaged liver then can’t process the toxins which then buildup in the blood and deposit under the skin of the affected sheep. When the sheep go into the direct sunlight, the toxins are activated, and that’s what causes the blistering and hardening of the skin.

“We usually see this on the face of the sheep,” Dr Kennedy said.

“If you notice sheep fl icking their heads, like a fly is annoying them, this is usually the beginning of the problem, and the pigments in the skin are

activating,” she added.

This typical behaviour, she explained, is usually the first sign of the underlying condition.

“A few days later, you’ll start to see swelling in the face and around the neck, and puffy and swollen ears.

In our region, this is usually photosensitisation.”

The Central West LLS have said they have seen a number of sheep across the region presenting with unique behaviours they had not seen before, and suggested the cause could be due to a bug found on lucerne, Central West LLS District Veterinarian, Dr Nik Cronin said. “Three cases were in weaned lambs, and another in a mob of ewes with lambs at-foot,” Dr Cronin said.

“The weaned lambs were short-woolled, and affected animals were described to be bit-

ing, or chewing at themselves along their body, to the point where wool had been pulled out,” she added.

The condition proved more than just a nuisance for the animals, she explained.

“In a proportion of animals, there was extensive damage to the skin along the back.

“In the ewes and lambs, the presentation was more classic with skin damage of the face and swollen puffy ears,” Dr Cronin added.

In all cases the sheep were grazing lucerne and, on paddock inspection, cowpea aphids were identified on the plants.

Dr Cronin said that while photosensitisation can be seen in sheep grazing lucerne independent of aphids, there has been suggestions, that cowpea aphids may contain a pigment or other substance that is photodynamic itself.

However, such a substance is yet to be identified.

“So while the jury is still-out on the exact cause of ‘photo’ in these cases, we are encouraging producers to check lucerne paddocks for aphid infestation and monitor grazing stock,” Dr Cronin said.

Dr Kennedy also suggested moving sheep, where possible, to shadier paddocks if photosensitisation is noticed.

In good news, she added, the sheep usually make a full-recovery from the condition.

Treatment is available however should the condition worsen, or an infection is noticed.

WARREN Preschool’s traditional annual “Bush Week” visit to the Beemunnel Reserve Aboriginal Place, has been fi rmly entrenched in the calendar since 2015.

After eight years, the trip is a favourite with all of the children, their families, and the educators, and a highlight of the school year.

The recent tour included Locky and Fleur Dennis of Milan Dhiiyaan, supporting the cultural aspects of Bush Week by sharing their extensive knowledge surrounding Wayilan story, song, dance, and traditional life.

Beemunnel is considered by many to be a special place with significant cultural links for the local Indigenous community. it is believed that, spending time immersed in the ambience of the space, reflecting on those who have gone before, develops a deep respect and understanding for the country and hope for the future.

All children from the preschool are included in the excursion, regardless of age and ability, with the pupils supported by the highly-qualified and effective team of educators: Rhonda Connelly, Lindie Marks, Yasmin Kentwell, Jodi Van Kol, Johanna Maligaya, Bart Cosgrove, Amber Gordon and Holly Edwards, as well as trainee Taylah Reid and early childhood teachers, Lisa White and Jacqueline Wise.

“The national Early Years

Learning Framework also describes outdoor learning spaces as environments that: foster an appreciation of the natural environment, develop environmental awareness, and provide a platform for ongoing environmental education’,” a preschool spokesperson said.

“This, along with a strong commitment to cultural education, is the rationale behind our Bush Week each year,” they added.

Australian research, shows that 32 per cent of parents with children under 16 years reported their children have never been camping, and 29 per cent said their children had not been bush-walking, with 27 per cent of children having never climbed a tree, according to Planet Ark. Therefore, throughout the course of Bush Week, the children from Warren Preschool are actively encouraged to explore, bushwalk, and engage in tree-climbing.

“The children have also experienced lunch cooked over the campfi re, weaving, string-making, traditional fi re-making, and a smoking ceremony,” the preschool spokesperson said.

“We love Bush Week at the Beemunnel!” they concluded.

The week is fi nancially supported by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet’s National Indigenous Australians Agency and, locally, with consent from Warren Macquarie Aboriginal Lands Council.

50 years of GRASS Merinos IT’S been 50 years since the GRASS Merino stud in Gulargambone began, and a celebratory field day will be hosted in its honour later this month.

In those 50 years the farming landscape has changed considerably, and GRASS Merinos are proud to have stayed on top of the game.

Ten farmers back in 1973 met at the Gulargambone Bowling Club, and all agreed to pool their merino flock, consisting at the time of 35,000 ewes.

Their plan was to measure the performance of their 15,000 young ewes each year and select the 300 ‘Olympic Champions’ to breed rams from. From there, the young ewes were moved to John Giblin’s farm, one of the founding members.

The ewes were then mated to

five performance rams from Jamie Richmonds’ Mogila Merino stud at Goodooga.

Again the 125 young rams born were performance measured and the very top five retained for breeding.

As the 50 years have passed, all the technology for measurement and selection has rapidly changed and improved from the hand selection beginnings. As well as technology, markets and relative prices for wool, meat, and surplus sheep have changed considerably, and are constantly shifting each day, as many farmers could attest to.

For GRASS Merinos, they found there have been three big breakthroughs that have significantly affected the work they do, including index

selection systems, DNA pedigrees, and ultrasound pregnancy detection.

Index selection systems, in other words computerised index selection, puts an economic and genetic weighting on each factor that rams are being selected for. For example, you can filter greater wool weight, finer wool, faster growth, more lambs, and less wrinkles.

In GRASS Merinos’ case, this has meant their ‘Olympic Champions’ were able to be filtered out a lot easier and quicker.

DNA pedigrees have also played a major role in the work GRASS Merinos do, and interestingly this same technology is what detectives use.

It allows 100 per cent accuracy

in identifying the real parents of every lamb and their genetic makeup.

GRASS Merinos have said that since adopting this expensive technology, the rate of genetic progress has increased dramatically.

“Suddenly we had a way to measure fertility and select for ewes that could rear twins every year,” says stud owner Graham Peart.

“The proof is that we now have a ewe that reared triplets at her fi rst lambing and then four sets of twins in the next four years. 11 lambs in five years and all reared. The ewe had been named Grace but has recently been renamed Amazing Grace.”

GRASS Merinos bought the fi rst commercial machine for

ultrasound pregnancy detection in Australia 40-years-ago.

This allows ewes to be detected early in pregnancy as having a single lamb, twins or zero. Then farmers can draft them into these three mobs and feed them appropriately.

According to GRASS Merinos, the ultimate proof of improvement is the annual index performance review.

Last year 2022 tests were processed on 88,000 rams via the genetic selection computer at the University of New England in Armidale. Ranked on the multi-purpose plus index out of the top 20 rams in Australia, the GRASS Merino stud has produced 17 of these, including ram number one for Australia.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP

Heroic army nurse honoured

LAST week I visited the newly unveiled statue of Lieutenant Colonel Vivian BullwinComment ment by kel AO MBE at the Australian K COULTON, MARK War Memorial.

Federal ral Member This remarkable woman is for Parkes arkes a hero and deserving of each of the many accolades she received during her life. She is the fi rst individual woman or nurse to be honoured by a statue in the grounds of the Australian War Memorial.

After completing high school and nursing training in Broken Hill, Lt. Col. Bullwinkel served in the Australian Army Nursing Service and was the only survivor of a massacre which occurred in 1942 on Banka Island off the coast of Indonesia. She then spent more than three years as a prisoner of war.

After all of this she spent the rest of her life devoted to nursing, to honouring the memory of her fellow nurses who lost their lives, and to service. Hers is an incredible story of courage and resilience, which I hope all who visit her memorial will take the opportunity to reflect on.

Connections with the Republic of Korea ONE of my roles as chief whip for the Nationals is to provide briefings to delegations coming to Canberra through the Australian Political Exchange Council.

Last week I spoke to the eighth delegation from the Republic of Korea, including representatives from both the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) which has been the ruling party over the last decade under different names and its opposition, the People Power Party (PPP).

They were very interested in the sheer size of the Parkes electorate, which is roughly four-times the size of Korea, and how Australia balances its economic growth across both urban and regional areas, which is a challenge for both countries.

Australia and indeed the electorate of Parkes, has important ties with the Republic of Korea, especially in the area of critical minerals, so maintaining our connections is beneficial for each of us.

Local champion sets her sights on Paris DURING the week my wife Robyn and I were able to catch up with a local champion in parliament house.

Jamieson Leeson of Dunedoo is a world champion in the sport of wheelchair boccia and has her sights set on the Paris Paralympics in 2024. With the support of her mother Amanda, Jamieson achieved a gold medal at the Montreal 2023 World Cup and returned with a ranking of second in the world.

We met Jamieson in parliament house for the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Australia Parliamentary Event which focuses on advancements in SMA research and treatment. New treatments are resulting in improved quality of life, especially for the next generation affected by SMA. We’ll be cheering for you Jamieson – best wishes as you train for the coming year!

WA government backflips on cultural heritage reforms

By ANDREW TARRY THE West Australian government has already scrapped its cultural heritage reforms after they only came into effect on July 1 this year. The reforms were a response to the destruction of the Juukan Gorge Caves by Rio Tinto in 2020. The new legislation aiming to protect Aboriginal cultural heritage, was criticised as too complex, too hard to enforce and too costly for landholders who must abide by the new laws. After a month of listening to community frustrations and feedback, the WA government has decided to withdraw the legislation.

This decision might come as a relief to NSW land-

holders and farmers as concerns were starting to surface about the potentiality of NSW creating similar cultural heritage reforms to that of the WA government.

Members of the NSW and federal Nationals party had criticised the reforms and voiced their concern about NSW landholders having the same or similar laws imposed on them. Last week, the federal member for Parkes, Mr Coulton argued that the reforms could undermine private property rights and force property owners in the electorate of Parkes to undergo expensive, mandatory cultural surveys “for basic activities such as mending fences or planting trees,” he said.

This criticism formed part of the larger debate and criticism aimed towards the NSW Labor government as it also considers reforms to cultural heritage laws in the ongoing consequences of the Juukan Gorge destruction. This concern is no longer a pressing issue, at least for the short term, as the fallout from the introduced laws in the WA is felt across the other states and territories. The NSW Labor government will be watching the situation in WA with interest as the government there tries to reset the conversation and reengage the community.

One of the criticisms of the reforms was that the WA government did not engage in consultation with the tradi-

tional owners and peoples about the content of the reforms. Elders within the West Australian community are now calling for the WA government to initiate this process as the government considers options. They are also asking for an appeal mechanism to be put into any future laws, a component the inquiry into the destruction of the gorge said was lacking and could’ve prevented the destruction caused by Rio Tinto.

For the meantime, WA will keep using the original 1972 heritage laws which enabled Rio Tinto to carry out the demolition of the sacred site at Juukan Gorge despite there being evidence of its cultural significance.

The president of WA Farmers, John Hassell has said reverting to the old act without significant changes is not the answer either. “I think if you enact the old legislation, we’ll be in just about as much trouble if they don’t make changes to that,” he said.

The uncertainty surrounding the situation is also affecting the mining sector as representatives join the chorus of voices asking for clarity and certainty. The debate over the extent and composition of reforms for Aboriginal cultural heritage will continue, not just in WA, but across the whole country.

Nationals lead drought warning calls

By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW National party leader, Dugald Saunders has called on the government to “unveil” its drought preparedness plan, after a few areas in the state have been declared to be in drought. The Department of Primary Industries’ Combined Drought Indicator has designated parts of the Hunter Valley and areas around Grafton and Casino as being in drought.

The news of drought in parts of the state may be hard to believe considering the last few years of floods and heavy down pours. Despite this, the member of Clarence, Richie Williamson, said that his region needs certainty with drought already on the doorstep.

“It is hard to believe that as our community tries to recover from catastrophic floods, some areas are already facing dry weather patterns,” Mr Williamson said.

The member for Upper Hunter, Dave Layzell shared this concern and is also calling on the NSW Labor government to bring forward a plan as it is already long overdue. “In the town of Rouchel, between Scone and Muswellbrook, there is a very defi nite feeling that the area is already in drought,” Mr Layzell said.

“Dugald [Saunders] and I met a group of around 30 to 40 people a few weeks ago, who told us they haven’t had any rain since November last year and that is really alarming.”

Although drought has not been officially announced for parts of western NSW, some producers are already feeling the strain. The need to feed livestock has become increasingly difficult for farmers. Most have already started buying feed or in some cases putting livestock onto the highways and roads to graze.

Peter Baldwin chief executive officer of the Austral-

ia Livestock and Property Agents Association has joined in on the debate and said cattle farmers are having to make difficult decisions. “With the dry weather looking more likely, compounded by the sharp falls in cattle prices, livestock producers are making adjustments to their stocking rates to figure out how to get enough feed to get through the next few months,” Mr Baldwin said.

“The most important thing for producers right now is to have a clear plan and to know they have support around them to face the difficult times ahead.”

Although the drought indicator shows that 95.4 per cent of the state is currently in “non drought”, 4.4 per cent is “drought affected” with drought declared for 0.2 per cent, it is a concern being shared by many that this small percentage of declared drought will rise quickly. The 4.4 per cent of “drought af-

fected” areas are given a further designation of “drought affected intensifying” as opposed to weakening. The NSW overview for its state seasonal update, provided by the Department of Primary Industries, also argues that “Drought conditions are continuing to emerge on the North Coast, Hunter and the southeast of NSW. These regions are managing seasonal feed deficits that have arisen from low rainfall over the past three-six months.”

Calls for the government to act are now being broadcast by the Nationals party members.

“It is more important now than ever that Labor steps up to help our primary producers because they have faced so much and shouldn’t have to go it alone,” said Mr Williamson.

The issue was also raised that this year’s NSW Farmers conference where Mr Saunders used his speech to highlight the need for the govern-

ment to roll out another round of the coalition’s Farm Innovation Fund.

“The key message here is that prevention is better than a cure and the Farm Innovation Fund is the single biggest opportunity farmers have to prepare for hardship and to remain resilient,” Mr Saunders said.

“Programs like this have a proven track record of success and I’m hoping the new government will follow my commitment to tip in another one billion dollars to the Farm Innovation Fund, to keep supporting our primary industries.”

As the dry weather continues and drought conditions intensify, farmers and regional communities will be looking at the Department of Primary Industries, the government, and even the Bureau of Meteorology for guidance, support, and important information.

Council rates bungle

By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN residents have been advised to disregard their recent rate notices after an error was discovered. The error has impacted all owners within the Warren Town Residential Rate classification, with council stating all properties in the Warren township were rated incorrectly. Nevertire and Collie residents have not been impacted.

The error related to an initial ad-valorem rate of 7.09517 cents in the dollar being charged instead 4.026961 cents in the dollar due to the increase of unimproved land valuations across the category.

Warren Shire Council’s divisional manager of finance and administration Bradley Pascoe said they

are investigating with the assistance of their software provider to gain more detail on how this was able to occur.

“It is with much regret that this technical error was not identified prior to rate notices being issued however, once made aware council staff have actioned the matter immediately and resolved,” said Mr Pascoe.

New rate notices were issued on Friday, August 11 and council will be liaising with each individual impacted by the error.

“Council apologises for the concern caused by this technical error and would like to assure you as the ratepayer that all reasonable steps have been taken to reduce or remove this event from occurring into the future,” said Mr Pascoe.

Open Day crowd eager to check-out Trangie Agriculture Research Centre

Locals get up close to a number of projects undertaken at the site including cropping projects, bioenergy crop trials, low methane cattle and sheep, and tropical grasses.

Almost 50 eager and interested community members took up the chance to explore.

A CROWD of about 50 eager and interested community members recently tookup the opportunity to have a look inside Trangie Agriculture Research Centre for their Open Day. Producers, farmers, and other locals from the district were fi rst treated to a tour of the NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (NSW DPI) site with the chance to speak directly with researchers on many of the projects undertak-

en at the largest DPI research farm in the country.

Some of the projects shown on the day included cropping projects, bioenergy crop trials, low methane cattle and sheep, and tropical grasses.

NSW DPI TARC Site Manager, Glenn Orman said he was pleased with the turn-out on the sunny, spring-like day.

“Everyone who attended had a great day out on the farm. As part of the tour, we showcased a large portion of the farm,

We do our best work when you’re involved

and covered a wide range of topics,” Mr Orman said.

“The guests that attended were impressed to see the farm and what’s being researched on site and its relevance to agriculture and the community,” he added.

Local pastoralist Malcom Kater, Principal of Egelabra Merino Stud Warren, attended the day and took the opportunity to pick the brains of the researchers and scientists.

“We run a mixed operation,

so it was a great opportunity for me to see what current research is happening at NSW DPI and in partnership with other organisations,” Mr Kater said.

“For example, the results of the long-term Farming Systems Project being conducted jointly with other organisations, and the Merino Sire Evaluation Project,” Mr Kater said.

He said that the Trangie facility, is a key resource for the

local farming community.

“The TARC site is valuable to local pastoralists like myself, as it reflects the conditions, soil and climate on our own properties.

“The Open Day was also a great opportunity to be around the community, enjoy the great company and learn about the wide range of other research happening here,” Mr Kater concluded.

MEMORIAM In loving memory of

Jill Marie Burns July 12, 1936 to August 12, 2017 No-one heard the footsteps Of angels drawing near, Who took from earth to heaven The one we loved so dear.

She has not really left us, Nor has she travelled far, Just entered God’s beautiful garden, And left the door ajar.

Loved and remembered always Mervyn, Leighton, Elizabeth and Megan

Money raised Get your “paws up” for the and a great Pumas this day’s golf; annual Rotary weekend; for finals in Walgett Charity Day

Two bites of the cherry; Warren Pumas First Grade Men’s, take-on Walgett this weekend in the first round of the Western Plains Rugby finals for a place in the grand final. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. Money raised and a great day’s golf; the winning team from the Rotary Charity Golf Day held at Warren recently, James Taylor, Scott Rope, and Mark Robertson. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By HARRIET GILMORE IN one of their biggest golf days of the year, Warren Golf Club recently hosted the annual Rotary Charity Day on the fi rst Sunday in August.

The event had a total of 54 local golfers taking part on a spectacular sunny day in the fund-raising fun of a Three-Person Ambrose competition.

The annual charity event is a great way for the local club to lay down some money for Rotary and all the good work they do for the town.

Warren Rotary’s Rod Sandell, described the event as “a fantastic day”, as he thanked the Golf Club and other members of the community, for coming-out so strongly to support their projects in the community.

“A lot goes into putting on the day,” he said.

“We were very grateful to Jarrad Noonan for giving-up his planned trophy day, after our initial Rotary day was cancelled, due to wet weather,” he explained.

Much effort went into the success of the occasion, he added “Thank-you to all the players, the Golf Club, Kev Taylor, all of the sponsors, and the ‘lovely ladies’ of the Golf Club for organising and supporting Rotary.

“And a ‘shout-out’ to Todd, for the last-minute call-out, and all of his help on the barbecue,” Rod said.

For the record, winners of the golf, were Scott Rope, James Taylor, and Mark Robertson, with Darcy Fuller, Gavin Hutchinson, and Mark Darcy coming-in second; and Craig Marks, Nigel Martin, and Geoff Anderson, bagging third.

Final figures for the fundraiser were yet to be fi nalised, but the Club believes it was well-over $1000 raised.

All monies raised by the Rotary Club, are donated to charitable events and organisations around the community, with Rod revealing that $500 had already been donated to the Royal Flying Doctor fund-raising event happening at the Nevertire Hall on Saturday, September 16.

By HARRIET GILMORE WITH both the Warren Pumas and Pumarettes rugby teams having made it to the fi rst round of the Western Plains Rugby finals this weekend, the Club is calling on supporters to get behind the teams with their “paws up” in Walgett on Saturday.

In a fi rst for the Western Plains Rugby competition, all of the preliminary semi-finals will be played on one day. As Walgett fi nished on top of the Men’s season, they have therefore secured the rights to host the fi rst round of the fi nals.

The Puma Men’s First grade therefore have a tough task taking-on the defending premiers, Walgett, with a chance to secure a home grand fi nal.

The Pumas, however, only fi nished the season second on the Ladder, just three points behind Walgett, followed by Nyngan and Bourke/Brewarrina.

The boys will therefore have two bites at the fi nals even if they lose, but Club President, Tom Noonan, is confident that they can wrap it up in Walgett on Saturday and lock in a home grand fi nal in Warren.

“Warren has had a strong run home into the fi nals and, with a tough task in Walgett, this weekend, the boys can defi nitely bring a home grand fi nal to Warren,” Tom said.

If the Pumas defeat Walgett on Saturday, they will secure the grand fi nal for Victoria Oval, but, if they go down to Walgett, the Pumas will have a second chance next Sat-

urday by taking-on the winner of Nyngan versus Bourke/Brewarrina.

In more good news, although the Pumarettes went down to Coonamble on Saturday (see the full report inside), a solid season has helped the girls fi nish the competition in fourth place, behind Walgett, Gular and Coonamble, with a spot in the semi-fi nals this weekend. This game will entail the Pumarettes playing Coonamble again this Saturday in Walgett.

Coach Harry Gaynor has faith in his team and their hopes of stumping Coonamble in the sudden-death semi.

“The Warren Ladies have had a tough finish to the regular season, but their resolve and determination, makes them deserving of the fi nals’ spot,” Harry said.

“Whilst the reigning champs, Walgett remain the benchmark, the Pumarettes most certainly have the capability to overcome Coonamble and Gulargambone to secure a grand fi nal place,” he added.

With these two big games, Warren Rugby Club is calling-on the community to get behind the local sides and make the journey to Walgett this Saturday.

In other games for the fi rst round of the fi nals in Walgett on Saturday, the Bogan Bulls (Nyngan) will take on Bourke/Brewarrina in the sudden-death semi for the Men’s, while the Walgett Ewes will takeon Gular, with the winner going straight through to the grand fi nal in the Ladies.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES JOCKEY Wendy Peel has won the last two Louth Cups on Austin and Valadyium however, the wins have been four years apart. No, the Louth Cup is not an Olympic Games event, the reason for the fouryear gap being the planned annual Louth meetings were abandoned in 2000, 2021 and 2022 due to either the COVID pandemic or wet weather.

Rodney Robb from Nyngan was the trainer of the 2019 winner Austin, while Valadyium won the 2023 cup for Dubbo trainer Connie Greig.

The much-anticipated return to racing at the iconic outback meeting attracted a probable record crowd of around 5000 on Saturday, August 12 and it was a thrilling fi nish to

Valadyium’s cup victory in the longawaited return of racing to Louth the 2000 metres Nutrien Walsh Hughes-Don Lelievre Memorial Louth Cup. Beg Me led around the hometurn from Costas and Valadyium and it then became a great battle down the straight between those three gallopers.

Finishing slightly the better, Valadyium (Wendy Peel, $3.60 favourite) won by 3/4 length from Beg Me (Ken Dunbar, $4.40) with a short half-head to Costas (Jake Barrett, $4.40).

Wendy Peel then gave the Connie Greig-trained Merdeka (($2.20 fav.) a nice run before winning the 1700 metres Shindys Inn Benchmark 45 Handicap from the leader Planet Ex (Ken Dunbar, $5) and Equilibrium (Paul Zerafa, $6).

First leg of a treble for Connie Greig was Linden Tree, ridden by Orange-based ap-

prentice Will Stanley, in the 1200 metres Arrowfield Stud Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Sons Of Bourke (Jake Barrett, $2 fav.) looked the likely winner when dashing to the lead in the straight but was overhauled and beaten a short-neck by Linden Tree (Will Stanley, $3.50) with over two lengths to the thirdplaced Lenny’s Lad (Chelsea Ings, $13).

Will Stanley had a memorable day as he landed a winning treble, Bush Warrior, Tonatrix, and Linden Tree.

Bush Warrior was beautifully presented in the mounting yard by Wellington trainer Daniel Stanley, and raced up to the good looks in the 1000 metres MacDonald and Co. Wool Brokers Class One Handicap.

Parked behind the leaders,

Bush Warrior (Will Stanley, $4.20) sprinted to a one-length win over Blueskin (Jake Barrett, $2.20 fav.) and Pressita (Wendy Peel. $2.30).

First up for Narromine trainer Terry Fulwood after 23 starts in maiden company, Tonatrix gave most of the 17 bookmakers a losing result when winning the 1400 metres Rice’s Back O’Bourke Splashe Cola Maiden Handicap.

The well-supported Tonatrix (Will Stanley, $6) tracked the leaders then took control to score by over two lengths from Vivalicious (Chelsea Ings, $2.60) and Ready For Lift Off (Ken Dunbar, $2.70 fav.)

Dubbo jockey Ken Dunbar earned praise for an excellent ride on the Bryan Dixon Jnr. , Gilgandra-trained Heza Wise Guy in the opening event, the 1000 metres Port Of Bourke

Hotel Maiden Plate.

Turning for home, Dunbar took a rails run inside the leaders and Heza Wise Guy ($3.00) eventually won by a short-neck from Hammoon Sunshine (Wendy Peel, $14) with Chart Topper, Jake Barrett, $2.80 fav.) almost three lengths away third.

Ken Dunbar competed a double with another good ride when he positioned the Wayne Collison, Narromine-trained Money Not My God ($3.50) behind the leader Chloebella Rose before going on to win the 1400 metres Sullivans Mining and Industrial- Steel And Hire Class Two Handicap from Sindagar (Jake Barrett, $2.60 fav.) and Sun Master (Wendy Peel, $15).

IN glorious spring-like weather last Wednesday, a total of 10 ladies took to the course for the Warren Pharmacy Trophy Day, an 18-Hole Stableford.

Among the players, it was a big welcome to Bec Byles, better known as: “Bec All or Nothing Byles”. Also, it was lovely to see Sue Burke back-out on the course after her long holiday.

With no excuse for bad scores with everything in the Ladies’ favour — the weather, the course and the company — coming-in with the winning score of 35 points, was Christine Tilley. In second place, on a count-back from Judy Ridley and Deb Kentwell, was “Bec All or Nothing Byles” on a score of 33.

In other results, the NTP (Nearest-thePin) was Deb Kentwell, with golf balls also

going to Christine Tilley, Bec, Judy, and Deb. Congratulations to the ladies competing and a big “thank-you” to the Warren Pharmacy for their continued sponsorship.

Upcoming events include on Wednesday, August 16; Sue Burke’s Trophy Day, an 18Hole Stableford and, on Saturday, August 19, the Pauline Pallier and Judy Ridley Trophy Day 4BBB Invitation; in conjunction with the NSW Bowl at $5 a head (optional).

Sincere condolences also to Tish McAlary and family on the sad loss of their beloved Tony; also to Suz, Bill and Rhonda Darcy and family, on their very sad loss.

Our thoughts are with you all.

“Sometimes being with your friends and golfing, are all the therapy you need!”

Pumas roll-over Coonamble in rugby; with Ladies also on way to the semi-finals for tries after some determined runs.

By HARRY GAYNOR WARREN Rugby Club travelled to Coonamble on Saturday for the final round of the Western Plains competition; before the start of the highly anticipated finals next weekend.

With perfect weather and a healthy crowd in attendance for Coonamble’s “Old Boys Day”, both Warren teams were aiming for faultless performances leading into the crux of the season.

The Pumarettes, fi rstly, were hoping to secure a win to guarantee their place in the finals; with a loss meaning that their fate would then depend on the result of the Bourke versus Walgett match. As was the issue during much of the season, the Ladies started the game with a shortage of player numbers, with Coonamble sporting a full bench.

Coonamble were then on the attack from the very fi rst kick, scoring fi rst with some very energetic ball running.

The Pumarettes, however, responded instantly, as captain Kaitlin Staniforth took charge of the attack and made an easy break through some sluggish Coonamble defence.

Both teams were able to display some exciting attacking plays throughout the fi rst half, with Warren piercing numerous holes through the centre of the field, and Coonamble unleashing their rapid wingers out wide.

Coonamble were able to gain two more tries before halftime, although Warren’s Pip Storer showed her determination to push her way over to bring the Pumarettes only one try behind at the half.

However, after the break, Coonamble continued to plug-

Skipper William Archer also inspired the forwards to keepup this direct mode of attack, with clean rucks and quick ball from Jeremy Kelly at halfback, allowing the outside backs to continue to gain advantage by burning the Ram’s edge players.

Coonamble were also able to provide some champagne rugby of their own before halftime, with some quick hands to the wing and a lovely chip kick scooped-up by the fullback to score under the posts.

Yet this was to be their only mark on the scoreboard for the game, as the so-called “Fastest Man in the West”, David Jenkins, made light work of his new role on the wing to cross for two tries in the second half.
