A SNAPSHOT of a farmer watering his Nevertire property, has recently taken-out a national cotton industry photo competition. Annabel Noonan’s photo of her father, Andrew, irrigating cotton on their farm has won the CottonInfo’s annual calendar photo competition. Megan Woodward from CottonInfo, said that Annabel’s image beat-out dozens of entries from almost every cotton-growing valley across Australia, from Far North Queensland, to southern NSW. “Annabel’s image was chosen because of its gorgeous colours and the fact it also included a grower at a work – people underpin everything we do!” Ms Woodward said. Annabel’s photo will now feature on the cover of the 2024 calendar, as well as for the month of September. Photos by other locals, Johnno Connelly and Amanda Thomas, also feature in the calendar. CottonInfo’s 2024 calendar, focuses on water, with each month of the calendar including a QR code to link growers and consultants to water-related resources relevant to the season.

Photos by Johnno Connelly (top) and Amanda Thomas (above) will feature in CottonInfo’s 2024 calendar. Gall, and CottonInfo Program Lead, Janelle Montgomery, advised on the calendar content, based on their wealth of water knowledge as it pertains to the cotton industry. “The CottonInfo website is an incredible resource, so this is a great opportunity to reconnect growers and consultants to the library of

assistance, trials, tools and outcomes that are housed on the platform,” Janelle said. “With the current forecast for drier conditions this season, it’s more important than ever to plan and be prepared and have a good connection with your local CottonInfo extension person,” she concluded.

Saved! Nevertire Memorial Hall rescued from sale after new committee formed A NEW committee for the Nevertire Memorial Hall Trust has officially been formed, saving the well-loved venue from possible sale. The history of the hall goes back many decades, with a report in the Sydney Morning Herald of June 24, 1936, stating that a resolution had passed under the Public Reserves Enabling Act 1924, for land at Nevertire so that trustees could borrow money to build a public hall. The work was completed by December 1937, with the Narromine News and Trangie Advocate newspaper advising that the hall was later opened with a ball on New Year’s Eve. Since then, the 85-year-old facility has been a much-loved and invaluable venue in the region, hosting countless balls, fundraising events, parties, meetings, concerts, theatre, polling booths, school “cordial” parties, and even “B&S”, (Bachelor and Spinster’s) balls. However, after a few long-serving members of the Nevertire Memorial Hall Trust Committee recently stepped down, rumours began swirling that the hall could be sold and lost from the community for good if a new committee wasn’t formed. However in some great news for the local community, the three vacant positions on the committee were fi lled by one local family, ensuring that one of the last remaining public halls in the Shire would remain in community stewardship. New nominees Sam and Georgia Lawler and Harriet Gilmore were officially accepted by Crown Lands as board members, thereby joining current committee members Tony Waters and Heather Druce at the AGM last month to form a new committee. Nevertire Memorial Hall Trust President Tony Waters said at the fi rst AGM of the newly-formed group he was very grateful for the service of the outgoing, long-serving volunteers, and was delighted the vacant positions could be fi lled to ensure the future of the beloved venue. “A big thank you must go to Pauline Serdity, Noel Kinsey and Kim Russ for their years of service to the Nevertire Hall,” Mr Walters said. “Pauline in particular in her role as secretary was integral in getting our beautiful hall repaired and back to its former glory, after the mini-cyclone almost destroyed it in

Commitments that we all face in modern society, he added, made this sort of volunteer contribution very important. “With so much happening in everyone’s lives, we struggle to ﬁ nd time for our community work. “Most of the time, that work goes unnoticed and unappreciated.

At the recent AGM, Tony Waters was endorsed to continue his role as president, with Sam Lawler welcomed as vice-president, and Georgia Lawler as secretary. The committee has plans to continue upgrading the facilities of the hall over the next 12 months, and improving the facility for both public and private events.

The battles have begun for this year’s coveted Santa Street By HARRIET GILMORE BATTLE lines have been drawn, and once-friendly neighbourhoods are a thing of the past as competition heats up for this year’s “Santa Street” competition! This beloved annual Christmas light and decoration rivalry started many years ago, and involves the streets of Warren being decked out for the prestigious honour of the best Christmas Street in town. Warren Shire Council General Manager — and Santa’s Warren correspondent! — Gary Woodman, said the competition was already heating up. “Pittman Parade is out for blood this year. They already have some quality light displays up,” Mr Woodman observed. “Last year’s winning street, Oxley Parade could be in trouble. Will Azar Place pip them both, or is Frawley Street going to make a comeback?” Judging will take place anytime over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, December 16–17, with the winning street announced with the coveted “Santa Street” sign erected on Monday, December 18. “So get together with your neighbours, get organised, and light up your street,” Mr Woodman advised. Warren Shire Council will also be running a business house Christmas display competition, to also be judged the same weekend as Santa Street. Mr Woodman said local businesses need to contact Council via email or phone to let them know they’ll be entering this year. “Although judging isn’t until the 16th and 17th, we are hoping all the local businesses have their Christmas displays up in time for the Street Christmas Party on Friday, December 8,” Mr Woodman said. “A voucher for $100 to spend locally is up for grabs, and the winner will be announced on December 18,” he concluded.

Competition is hot, so who will take out this year’s coveted Santa Street honours? PHOTOS: WARREN SHIRE COUNCIL.

When floodwaters subside, new dangers arise. Warren Shire Council is telling mozzies to BUZZ OFF. Council is installing mozzie zappers around the Shire and providing free mosquito repellent for residents to keep our community safe and help combat this pesky problem. Now, we're asking you to take the steps to protect.

A TRIO of lion cubs are thriving at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, with vets and keepers giving each individual the tick of approval to meet the rest of the pride. Born on October 4, the cubs are the second litter for lioness Marion and lion Lwazi, after the pair welcomed Mara, Amali and Imani in April 2022. Senior Keeper Megan Lewis said the cubs have spent the past couple of months bonding with Mum behind the scenes, where they are meeting all of their developmental milestones and becoming increasingly curious about the outside world. “Our cubs have just had their ﬁ rst vaccinations and microchips, as well as a veterinary check and a weigh in,” Megan said. “This is all really important to make sure they’re tracking along really well with their development,” she added They are also becoming more independent, she enthused. “This means we can take the next big step of introducing the cubs to their older siblings and Dad. “Once they meet each other and do some bonding in our back-of-house area, then we’ll be putting them all out into our Lion Pride Lands habitat together as a lovely family of eight!”

Fans can keep an eye on the Zoo’s social channels for details on the naming of these precious bundles, and for more news on when you’ll be able to see them. In the meantime, guests can see the Zoo’s three elder states-lions, Kiamba, Zalika and Tiombe, as well as Lwazi and the three young lionesses. Lions are not the only babies bouncing around at Taronga Western Plains Zoo this summer however, with five-month-old Jabulani in the main White Rhino paddock and six Meerkat pups at The Waterhole. Guests can see the Meerkat pups busily digging, foraging, playing and of course doing sentry duty. Meerkats reach their full height at just six months of age, so get in quick to see these adorable babies for yourself. For the fi rst time at Taronga Western Plains Zoo this summer guests will be given a window into the Regent Honeyeater Recovery Program with the critically-endangered natives now visible in the Wildlife Hospital aviary. With fewer than 400 remaining in the wild, this is a rare opportunity to see this elusive nomadic pollinator up close and learn about Taronga’s efforts to save this flagship species from extinction.

Access to mozzie virus vaccine expanded, Warren residents eligible By HARRIET GILMORE

DESPITE dryer conditions, Warren residents are still at risk from dangerous mosquito-borne viruses. In positive news for Warren residents however, it has recently been announced that some locals are now eligible for a free vaccine to protect against the disease Japanese encephalitis (JE). Free access to the JE vaccine has been expanded to more areas throughout regional NSW, including Warren and all surrounding shires. Locals who meet the eligibility criteria for the shot can now access the vaccine through their local GP, pharmacist or Aboriginal Medical Service. Japanese encephalitis is a serious disease caused by

the JE virus which is spread by infected mosquitoes. Only around one per cent of people infected with the JE virus, though, will experience noticeable symptoms. People are not able to pass the virus to other people, and humans also cannot get infected with the virus by touching an infected animal or eating animal products. Free JE vaccines are available for targeted Warren residents, including for those who regularly spend time outdoors, are homeless, live in conditions with limited mosquito protection, such as dwellings with no insect screens, or for those who are repeatedly involved in ﬂood recovery. Western NSW Local Health District Public Health Director Priscilla Stanley said the decision to broaden the scope

FAITH MATTERS

The Widow

of local governments areas considered at-risk of possible JE transmission, was made after health and environmental experts carefully considered surveillance data from the past two mosquito seasons alongside vaccine stock availability. “Even though we’re anticipating a dry and hot summer, and that will mean lower mosquito numbers, the experts determined that until we better understand the ecological and climate factors of JE transmission, it was important to expand eligibility of the vaccine,” Ms Stanley said. Ms Stanley said she strongly encouraged people who are at greater risk of mosquito bites to consider getting the JE vaccine. “It’s important to be mindful that mosquitoes in NSW

can carry a range of viruses, including Murray Valley Encephalitis virus, Kunjin virus, Ross River virus, Barmah Forest virus, as well as JE virus. “Vaccine is only available for JE, so avoiding mosquito bites is the most important way of preventing these infections,” Ms Stanley said. She emphasised that the key to protecting yourself from JE and other mosquito-borne infections is avoiding mosquitos. Advice for protecting yourself and your family include: f covering openings such as windows and doors with insect screens and checking that there are no gaps in them. f removing items that might collect water (such as old tyres, empty pots) outside your house where mosquitoes can breed. f improving drainage on your

property so that water does not become stagnant. f wearing light, loose-ﬁtting long-sleeved shirts, long pants and covered footwear and socks, especially around dusk and dawn. f applying repellent to all areas of exposed skin, especially repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. f re-applying repellent regularly, particularly after swimming, being sure to always apply sunscreen ﬁ rst, and then apply repellent. f using insecticide sprays, vapour dispensing units and mosquito coils to repel mosquitos. Mosquito coils, however, should only be used outside.

IGA are giving back this Festive Season

Grief plays no games; Death still strikes with fury He rages ‘gainst his fate. The widow, she is unscathed For all the grief aches with hope In Jesus, Death’s killer. In ﬂesh, yes alone And must journey on The watcher’s earthly eye is blind To all she rests upon The King of Kings and his angels see And still bend down to hear That widow on her knees With her Saviour near.

Supporting locals who support them. Warren IGA + Liquor have launched their massive Christmas giveaway, offering locals a chance to win one of four IGA gift cards valued at up to $500 for shopping at IGA this Festive Season. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By HARRIET GILMORE CHRISTMAS is a time of giving, with one business giving back to the community by supporting local this Festive Season. Warren IGA + Liquor is sponsoring vouchers worth up to $500 for those who are shopping locally with them this year. Simply spend $60 or more in one transaction in-store and you’ll automatically go in the draw for one of four IGA gift cards. Warren IGA + Liquor — like most around the country — is owned and run by locals who live and work in the town and know how important regional services are for the community. Manager Jess Taylor said that by shopping locally and supporting

town business, shoppers not only help keep the district economy going, but also help them continue to employ residents and support other organisations throughout town. “We are the second biggest employer in town behind the Shire, with some 65 local staff,” Jess said. “Employing so many local people helps those locals live and shop locally themselves,” she added. The beneﬁts, she explained, are many and varied. “We donate thousands every year to our Community Chest Fund, which is divided up between the Warren Preschool Kindergarten, Warren Central School, St Mary’s and the Marra Public School. “We, together with the Warren Meat House, also sponsor just about

every event, organisation and sporting group in town and in surrounding districts.” Jess said that this year’s Christmas promotion is more than just rewarding customers who shop with them. “We want to give back to our customers at this time of the year, to say a massive thank you for supporting us. “We are forever grateful that our customers make the choice to shop in our store, and our giveaway is our chance to help show our appreciation and give back to those that continue to support us,” she concluded. The IGA Christmas promotion is on now, and will be drawn on Christmas Eve. See the advertisement in this issue for full details.

Bushfire risk is still high this Who are the summer, despite recent rain real winners LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By HARRIET GILMORE ALTHOUGH the very welcomed rain events over the past two weeks have helped ease one of the driest and warmest springs on record, new forecasts show that the overall bush-fi re threat for summer hasn’t improved. AFAC — the National Council for fire and emergency services — released its Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for summer last week, with increased risk of fire danger for much of NSW, including Warren Shire, as well as for most of Queensland and the Northern Territory. AFAC has warned the drought conditions and predictions of a hotter-than-average summer has resulted in large areas of eastern, central, and northern NSW, anticipated to experience above-normal fi re risk over the coming months. They are therefore urging all communities to prepare and monitor local conditions. During spring, significantly lower than normal rainfall and above-average temperatures, saw soils forest fuel loads and grasses dry out extremely quickly. A number of fi res around the state were subsequently able to make rapid and damaging runs. Moving into summer, large parts of NSW are still in drought, or are much drier than normal and with forecasts that summer is likely to have above-average temperatures.

creased bushfi re risk across the country makes it important that the community takes appropriate action. “Wherever you live, work or visit this summer, know where to fi nd bushfi re information, prepare your property and talk to your family and friends about what you will do in an emergency,” Mr Webb said. “Your local fi re agency is the perfect place to fi nd out exactly how to stay safe this summer.” Spring fi res, he added, forecast a dangerous summer ahead.

“Australian fi re agencies have had a busy start to the bushfi re season, with many working in their communities and across state borders to respond to bushfi res. Communities can stay safer and support our fi re agencies by being prepared for bushfi re this summer,” Mr Webb concluded. Fire authorities will continue to monitor local bushfi re conditions closely throughout summer. Communities should stay informed and prepared, and check official sources for advice and warnings.

in more water for our rivers? I READ with interest that an alliance of environmentalists and other interested groups have joined the cry for more water to save the environment and to stop the rivers dying. Who are the winners from more water? Firstly, the Macquarie Marsh Graziers would top the list. Perhaps the black bream fish fi nding a new home in the Coorong and swimming in billion-dollar water? The Indian Ocean, receiving all that fresh water? Not sure if wasting thousands of megalitres of water does anything for the environment. The rivers of NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia had very little water for 10 years from 2000 to 2010, so NSW authorities cut all irrigation water for irrigators and sent an ordered flow to the Marshes in spring. Irrigators were paying $18.64 per megalitre of licence, the Marsh Graziers nothing, despite the fact that dry periods were the normal for the Marshes. The best available estimate shows that the proposed changes would reduce the value of food and fibre grown by $855 million per year. Still, our environment would be pristine according to the experts!

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

Buybacks legislated ON Thursday, November 30, amendments to the Murray-Darling Basin Plan passed the parliament, legislating uncapped water buybacks into federal water management policy. While minister Plibersek and senator Wong celebrated the development, it was a dark day for agricultural communities in the Murray-Darling Basin, and for Australia as a whole. This legislation cannot and will not prevent drought, but what it absolutely will do is remove jobs and productivity from areas which are almost

entirely reliant on the agriculture industry. Australia will pay for this ideological foolishness at the checkout, and in losses of Australian- made produce, not to mention the economic fall-out experienced by river towns.

Labor rushing to meet renewables target LABOR is rushing to meet its target of 82 per cent renewables by 2030 with energy minister Chris Bowen recently expanding the capacity investment scheme, which uses taxpayer dollars to encourage investment in renewables. There are risks involved with rushing these renewables schemes which are concerning, including the reduction of productive agricultural land. This, as with buybacks, can only push up the price of food, compounding the impact of cost-of-living pressures.

Events around the Parkes electorate IN my role as federal representative for the Parkes electorate, I have the privilege of attending some wonderful events which demonstrate the ways in which our regions are thriving. In November it was great to attend the 2023 Far West NSW Excellence in Business Awards in Broken Hill, the Dubbo Day Awards at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, and a celebration of 20 years of the Country Education Foundation of the Namoi in Narrabri. These awards recognised many locals in each community who are achieving excellence and making us proud. My wife Robyn and I were also at the official opening of the Lachlan Shire Tourism Precinct in Condobolin, which includes a modern new tourist information centre and café. Developments like this make towns much more accessible to travellers and encourage tourism across the wider area of the Parkes electorate.

Fire Ant alert for dangerous pest, as first nests uncovered in NSW

By HARRIET GILMORE

RED fi re-ants are a highly-invasive and dangerous pest species; and have now been detected for the fi rst time in north-eastern NSW. This recent discovery is believed to be the most southern infestation of the destructive pest outside of the Queensland invasion; putting much of the Premier State on high-alert. NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) announced last week, the detection of five red imported fi re ant nests in South Murwillumbah, 13 kilometres below the Queensland border. The nests have since been eradicated with surveillance continuing. However, it is understood that the nests may have been there for several months, and it’s uncertain if they have spread. Red imported fi re ants are an invasive exotic species that cause serious social, economic, and environmental harm. They are also aggressive and have a severe, burning sting, that has caused a number of deaths in vulnerable people overseas. Fire ants were fi rst discovered at the Port of Brisbane in 2001 and currently infest around 600,000 ha in southeast Queensland. The NSW Farmers association, believes that the discovery poses a significant threat to agriculture production and the landscape of the State. “The ants can damage agricultural equipment, sting livestock, and damage the natural

environment,” the group said. “It also poses a serious risk to the health and wellbeing of all people in NSW,” they added. The entry of the red imported fi re ants into the State, also demonstrated the urgent need for increased investment by our governments, to support biosecurity. “NSW Farmers has called for greater focus on biosecurity for many years; red imported fi re ants, should have been eradicated 20 years ago, but ineffective management in Queensland, enabled them to become established. “We want red imported fi re ants eradicated, not only in NSW, but in Queensland where this incursion originated,” they added. The recent detection has also triggered the National Fire Ant Eradication Program response; which is part of a $600 million eradication plan. Following the recent extermination of the fi rst nests in the State, Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty, said the NSW Government has been implementing its fi re ant plan, by focusing on tracing, surveillance, and educating local businesses and the community. An emergency biosecurity order across a radius of five kilometres from the infested site in South Murwillumbah, was implemented with restrictions in place for the movement of potential fi re ant carrier materials, such as mulch, woodchips, compost, sand, gravel, soil, hay, and other

baled products. “Biosecurity is a shared responsibility and, as our ﬁ re ant response ramps-up in northern NSW, I encourage everyone to continue to check their properties for these pests,” Ms Moriarty said. “With the Christmas cross-border travel season approaching, we all must be careful of what we’re moving and where,” she added. Vigilance, she argued, was the key to stopping isolated infestations, from becoming a permanent problem. “Finding ﬁ re ants early and alerting NSW DPI, just like the

community member has done in this instance, will increase our chances of a successful eradication effort. “We will continue to keep the community informed of progress and will continue working closely with industry, the local community and our State and Federal counterparts,” Ms Moriarty said. Fire ants, in appearance, are dark reddish-brown with a darker black-brown abdomen and range in size from about two to six millimetres in length. Although they can look similar to other ants, their nests

are formed with distinctive mounds of loose, crumbly, or “ﬂuffy-looking” soil with a honeycomb appearance that are up to 40 centimetres (18 inches) high, with no obvious entrance holes. Red imported ﬁ re ants can also damage electrical and agricultural equipment, sting people causing a severe allergic reaction, kill pets and livestock, destroy native plants and animals, and also damage ecosystems beyond repair. Local communities is encouraged to report any suspicious ant activity, to the NSW DPI immediately.

Merry Christmas! Festive cheer at VIEW Club’s yuletide celebrations

Contributed by BETTY FLETCHER, WARREN VIEW CLUB WHAT a magical day it turned out to be for 45 ladies who gathered at the RSL Club last Wednesday bidding farewell to 2023 as part of Warren VIEW Club’s Christmas celebrations. There was such a lot to report but, ﬁ rst of all, on behalf of Warren VIEW Club, the Club wished to acknowledge and thank a number of groups and individuals. This includes Warren RSL for the beautifully set-up auditorium for the event. The tone of the day was set the minute we walkedin, with the sparkling table decorations, an empty stage forecasting the entertainment to come and, of course, the delicious meal served by the warm, welcoming, and friendly staff. To Amanda and Cherie, your chefs, and all the wait staff, we say ‘thank-you’ for your mighty effort, and for your very welcome donations towards our raffle; it was a delight to be there! Also to Warren VIEW Club Members, thank-you so much for your bountiful donations towards the Christmas Hampers for the raffle. We’d brought-along 10 hamper bags to ﬁ ll, but “Lordy, Lordy”, who’d have thought it? We ended up needing 15! A great effort, ladies, when a third of those present at our lunch go home with a prize – great odds eh? A special “thank-you” to all of the Committee who packed the hampers, staffed the entrance tables, sold the raffle tickets, and more; great work ladies! The entertainment started with an appearance by the Warraan Widji Arts and the Dreaming Drifters Rock Band. Zoey Daley stood tall and proud for the Acknowledgement of Country, and was followed by the choir singing four numbers, in Wayilwan and then in English, including The Burraalgo (Brolga) and We are Australian. It was a fabulous performance by all the young people, and we were so privileged to have you at our party. Our thanks and congrat-

ulations also go to Karlene Irving for facilitating this special visit for VIEW, and to Warren Central School and St Mary’s Parish School for “borrowing” your pupils and staff for the visit. We just loved it! A huge “Gamba Ngindu” (thanks) to everyone involved. Next on the entertainment list, was our local songbird, Ros Jackson, who sang three beautiful and traditional Christmas carols, and then fi nished up with a rousing “Oz” version of Jingle Bells. I was sitting at a table quite close to Ros when she was singing and, in my mind, I envisioned all these silvery, shiny, shimmering notes rising skywards as Ros opened her voice to the heavens. Thank-you, dear Ros, for joining us. But there was more entertainment to come, as four lovely young women from Miss Kirby’s “Dance Experience” sashayed onto the stage. The four girls, Billy Bryant, Charli Johnson, Isabel White, and Eleanor Lovelock, were attired in the most to die-for outfits – think little crop-type tops and frilled flamenco-style tights in a marvellous reddish/maroon colour, with tightly pulled-back chignon hair styles – wow! Eat your hearts out ladies; the dancers were depicting a jazz scene, and the accompanying soundtrack was just brilliant – earthy, raw, and dark. The girls were farewelled from the stage with loud handclaps and much cheering. Thank-you, Miss Kirby, for organising the girls to perform for us, and huge appreciation for setting-up such a great facility for our local kids, and of course, big congrats and thanks to the four stars of the show. Loved you. Ole! Ole! Next on the agenda, was Nola Noonan, our guest artist, who narrated Dorothea McKellar’s poem, My Country – this is an Australia classic poem and is so wellloved by all. Thank-you, Nola, for your contribution, it was very much enjoyed. Next to tread the boards, was the former President of VIEW Warren, Annette Irving, making a guest appearance; regaling us with her funny jokes and limer-

icks. Thank-you, Annette, for concluding our entertainment with lots of laughs, as always! Then came the serious side of the day, as we prepared to announce our Trivia Queen for 2023. Twenty questions had been put to the test and, when time was called on the quiz, two of our visitors put their hands-up as having come in with 19 correct answers – a VIEW Club record! The two clever clogs were none other than Kay Bennett and Judy Ridley, both coincidentally in their lovely white dresses – stars on the golf course and stars on the quiz also it seems. A tie called for a sudden-death ﬁnal question (I actually felt a bit Tom Gleeson-ish) and this resulted in Judy Ridley winning the day. Nola Noonan relinquished her 2022 Trivia Queen crown and Lorraine, our VIEW President, crowned Judy Ridley as the 2023 Trivia Queen – well-done and congrats to you, Judy. Hope you enjoy the prize. Finally, our day was brought to an end by the cutting of the VIEW Christmas cake, which was kindly made and decorated by Lorraine Falkiner Smith, which celebrated the 37th birthday of VIEW Club’s inauguration in Warren. The cake was cut by Elsie Lefebvre and Betty Hunt, surrounded by other founding members including Pam Russ, Annette McCalman, and Janice Willets. VIEW Warren wishes to send its special thanks to Harriet and the Warren Star and its Gilgandra associates, for allowing VIEW space in the local paper to report on its monthly meetings; because so vital in a small town, to let folk know what is going-on. And a special thank-you to Harriet, from Betty. Thus concluded a great day of festivities. VIEW Club Warren sends the best of Christmas wishes to all in Warren and surrounding areas. May Christmas and 2024 bring everyone a happy and safe holiday season, plus hopes for a more peaceful world in the days ahead.

Contributed OUTSTANDING results ensured that Warren Amateur Swimming Club’s annual carnival held last Saturday was a great success. A fantastic total of 125 swimmers competed on the day, from towns around the region including Coolah, Coonabarabran, Coonamble, Cobar, Dubbo, Narromine, Tottenham, Mudgee, Nyngan and Wellington. It was especially pleasing to see a large contingent of Warren swimmers competing and every single athlete impressed with the sportsmanship they displayed. A highlight of the carnival was the open relay team from Warren (Henry Hunt, Izzie Hunt, Bree Boyd and Maddie Marks) who won the event and set a new record! It was particularly impressive to see so many of the younger club swimmers poolside, cheer-

ing these older competitors on during this race. Hosting a sporting event involves a lot of work from many people, and this event was no exception. The club extends a massive thanks to Wendy and her crew for their hard work in preparing the pool (and the super swimmers) for the carnival. The club also acknowledges the hard work by the club families in the lead up and on the day — the carnival wouldn’t happen without their support.

Congratulations to the following swimmers who achieved personal best (PB) times at the event: Will Austin (50m breaststroke, freestyle and backstroke) Lara Barnett (100m backstroke, 200m breaststroke and 100m freestyle)

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES LEADING jockey Aaron Bullock had desired to win a Mudgee Cup ever since a calamitous race fall eight-yearsago in the feature event. Bullock accomplished that goal when the Kris Lees, Newcastle-trained Tavi Time scored a brilliant victory on Friday, December 1 before a crowd of 3500, in the $75,000 Robert Oatley Showcase Mudgee Cup. Riding Devilgate Road in the 2015 Mudgee Cup, Aaron Bullock along with Kody Nestor, Jay Ford, Glenn Lynch, and Greg Ryan were injured when their mounts fell while Leanne

Tavi Time takes Mudgee Cup Henry suffered facial injuries although she ﬁ nished the race on Pippi’s Pride. Almost half the original ﬁeld failed to complete the course with the Garry McCarney, Wellington-trained Fox Solid starting at $26 and ridden by Andrew Banks, winning the Mudgee Cup from Topmast and Wild And Proud. Tavi Time produced an awesome performance in the 2023 Mudgee Cup over 1600 metres and is a galloper of immense ability. Rarely, if ever, would you see a last start Flemington winner at the Melbourne spring carnival backing up to the next race at Mudgee but that was the case with Watadeel which was beaten over six lengths by

Tavi Time in the cup. Watadeel travelled easily in the lead before Tavi Time (Aaron Bullock, $1.75 to $1.65 favourite) coming from midfield, dashed to the front at the top of the straight and cruised home by an ever-widening margin from Belleistic Kids (Quayde Krogh, $11) and Watadeel (Braith Nock, $2.90 to $3.90). Tavi Time has now earned eligibility for the Big Dance at Randwick next November with other big money races in the meantime within the scope of this exciting galloper. Aaron Bullock also won the $50,000 Montrose Mudgee Cup Day Sprint (1200 metres) on Seguso for Tamworth trainer Cody Morgan.

Seguso ($2.60 favourite) had a nice run and won by over three lengths from the fast finishing Stay Safe (Braith Nock, $18) and Tim’s Principal (Heavelon Van Der Hoven, $6.50). Second leg of a double for trainer Cody Morgan was Cyclone Rupert (Braith Nock, $15) which ﬁ nished strongly down the outside to win the 1200 metres $50,000 Craigmoor Country Magic Benchmark 58 Handicap from Leopardi (Ashley Morgan, $5.50) and Leica Storm (Aaron Bullock, $2.50 favourite). Former Mudgee trainer Cameron Crockett, now based at Scone, had a winning double with Invasive Dreams and Titration.

A very promising fi lly, Invasive Dreams (Anna Roper, $3.40 to $2.15 favourite) with a tremendous finishing burst came from last to gain a three-way photo decision over the leader Bit Of A Step (Ashley Moran, $19) and Twilight Rock, Braith Nock, $7.50) in the 1200 metres Wildflower Prosecco Country Boosted Showcase Maiden Plate.

After having a good run fourth on the inside, Titration (Nick Heywood, $5) took the lead and held on to win the 1100 metres Yves Premium Cuvée BM 58 Handicap from Order Of Merit (Clayton Gallagher, $4.60 to $3.50 fav.) which charged home from the back of the ﬁeld and Field Of Myrtle (Andrew Calder, $4.80).

Marthaguy goes down to the defending premiers By DOUG FREETH MARTHAGUY/USC Cricket Club headed off to Coonamble on Saturday to take on the defending premiers. With a few old faces playing their fi rst game for the year, it was a very strong Marthaguy/USC that side assembled for the clash. Captain Andrew Freeth won the toss and decided to have a bat. He looked to attack early and got a few away, before he was caught at mid-on. The other opener, Ben Storer, followed soon after to have Marthaguy at 2/20. James Glasson and Ritchie Flynn, and then Mark Glasson all dug in, but runs were hard to come by. Despite making starts, they couldn’t go on to post big scores. After bowler Dave Jenkins fi nished his fi rst ball innings, Marthaguy were in trouble at about 7/60. Hugh Duncan, who was left to bat with the tail, looked to score and dig Marthaguy out of trouble. Contributions from the bowlers Hagan Size, Doug Freeth and Harry Gaynor helped Hugh, who top-scored with 42,

downhill for Marthaguy from here. Coonamble brothers Tine and Blake Chapman showed strong intent to score By drinks at 20 overs, Coonamble were 4/62.

A double bowling change brought Ben Storer and James Glasson on . With Tine showing a positive attitude, both James and Ben created many opportunities for a wicket, but Marthaguy’s ﬁelding was well-below their high standard, and both batters were dropped several times.

Tine then took control of the game and passed his 50 just before Coonamble passed Marthaguy’s 118 with three overs to go and six wickets in hand. making it to the last over before he was ﬁ nally dismissed. In the end, Marthaguy ﬁ nished all out for 118, probably 30 short of par for this pitch.

one through him to hit the stumps. Not to be outdone, Harry Gaynor charged then in and dismissed the other opener, LBW.

Coonamble opener Mark Stewart started their innings with a strong intent to score, before bowler Jack Irving got

Jack then struck again shortly after with a brilliant fast bowlers’ wicket, a well-directed bouncer that was fend-

ed in the air and caught at short square leg. After a bowling change, Coonamble lost their fourth wicket, after bowler Doug Freeth hit the stumps. Things were looking promising for Marthaguy with Coonamble at 4/40 after 16 overs. Unfortunately, it was all

A disappointing result for Marthaguy but, it can’t be denied, that the better team on the day won. On that performance there is much room for improvement with bat-andball, and especially ﬁelding.

Marthaguy will look to bounce-back next week with a home game versus Coonabarabran on Saturday.

Solid support for Gunningbar Fishing Club Charity Golf Day

Winners of the Gunningbar Fishing Club Charity Day: Chris Moore, Mick Connelly and Ben Thomas (absent: Peter Thomas) with Gunningbar Creek Club members Robert and Ben Wilson. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

IT was a good turn up last Saturday for the Gunningbar Fishing Club Charity Day golf event. The match, a Four-Person Ambrose with any combination of players, involved 11 teams of 44 golfers supporting the charity day and also vying for some great prizes on offer. With the course looking as green as green can be, freshly-mown, and perfectly maintained there was no reason for complaints or excuses with the scores. It was also a perfect day for golf weather-wise with a lovely cool breeze blowing up in-

termittently to cool down all the players. A delicious barbecue was also on offer all day and greatly appreciated with the cooks, Dale and Bub doing a marvellous job and looking after everyone. There were also some hot scores coming in and the winners couldn’t be determined until the very last card. The eventual winners, with a score of 57, was the combination of Peter and Ben Thomas, Chris Moore and Michael Connelly. Runners up on 575/8 were the visiting Narromine team of Matt Silk, Janus Wal-

ford and Zac Everett, who were capably led by Nathan Walker. NTPs (nearest-the-pins) included on the 18th (Learner) Travis Darcy, the fourth (Ladies) Lyn Rawlinson, the 13th (Men’s) Scott Rope and the 16th (All In) Janus Walford. In other prizes, Judy Ridley, Chris Trudgett, Rhonda Darcy and Darcy Fuller were the Lucky Card Draw winners. Congratulations to all winners for the event that, by all accounts, was a fun day had by all. Gunningbar Fishing Club is a great club that is always looking for new members. If

you are interested, phone Ben or Robert Wilson. Events include the “carp muster” coming up in late February next year, which is always a fun-filled and great day, so mark it on your 2024 calendar. Upcoming events for the Golf Club also include on Saturday, December 9, the Ladies Closing Day from 3pm for 3.30pm and an American Foursome Draw for Partners played over 12 holes. For this event, bring a trophy, win a trophy and also a plate to share for high-tea as well as wearing pink for breast

cancer awareness. It’s likely to be a warm one, so if you’re not up for a ‘hit and a giggle’, come on out to the Golﬁe from 5.30pm onwards for the wind down. On a f inal note, well done to all involved in erecting the golfer on top of our huge golf ball on the entrance to Warren, it looks absolutely fantastic.
