Dave’s poem honours murals at Racecourse and Showground By HARRIET GILMORE DRAMATIC images of camp-drafting, rodeos, and horse-wrangling portrayed in a series of murals at Warren Racecourse and Showground, are now being honoured with a local poem by a venerable volunteer. Long-standing member of the Warren Rodeo Horse Committee, David Egan, has presented a second plaque to Warren Shire Council that is to be mounted alongside the recently-installed images on the new toilet blocks at Warren Racecourse and Showground. Mr Egan was unable to attend the official mural opening earlier in the year, when Freddie Parker from the Rodeo Horse Committee and Warren Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley unveiled the fi rst plaque, crediting the Committee for their donation towards the project. The second plaque, to be mounted next to the murals, features a poem by Mr Egan, titled “The Horse Committee Chairman’s Report” (see below) The 2.4-metre-high rodeo and horse-themed murals were jointly funded through a $10,000 donation by the Rodeo Horse Committee, and the Murray Darling Basin Economic Development Grants program.

Logjam — Macquarie River raft removal, finally starting in April By HARRIET GILMORE WORK to remove a number of rafts and logjams along the Macquarie River, is to fi nally start in early April, the NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confi rmed. The works were originally scheduled for last August after an EPA report found the flood-created blockages had the potential to restrict flow and were becoming a hazard on the river. To this end, Community Information Sessions on the issue were held in July 2023. The original scope of the project, included the removal of two rafts of the debris. However, the EPA confi rmed last week, that the environmental initiative had now expanded to clearing all seven of the rafts located between Warren (Top) Weir, Marebone Weir; and the shoreline. Work to remove the “human-made” debris, as well as woody weed flotsam like willow, is expected to now begin by April. Native woody debris that is more than 300mm in diameter, or three metres in length, will not be removed entirely from the river (in line with Department of Primary Industry’s snag guidelines) but will be tethered to the bank to assist with bank stabilisation and to

preserve aquatic habitats. Local landowner, Simon Cant, has welcome the project’s expansion, calling it “a big victory” for the community after initially being told that only the “man-made” debris would be removed. The EPA said the work has
also been informed by other Government agencies and feedback from the community and land-owners, including at the two previous community drop-in sessions. Environmental Services Functional Area Coordinator, Steve Beaman, said that the
latest community drop-in session next Tuesday will explain the work being undertaken.

Logjam — Macquarie River raft removal, finally starting in April Local landowner, Simon Cant, is pleased that the river raft flood debris project has been expanded to remove all seven logjams along the river, including for woody weed debris such as willow. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.
From page 1 “We now have a contractor engaged and ready to start flood recovery clean-up works in the Macquarie River, which is expected to take four to six weeks,” Mr Beaman said. “The contractor, will remove human-made debris from the river between the two weirs, as well as removing identifiable woody weed debris like willow from the rafts,” he added. He explained that the work
is more complex than just wholesale removal of all organic matter from the sites. “Native woody debris that is impacting on access for the removal of other debris, will be tethered to the riverbank to assist with bank stabilisation and preserving aquatic habitats,” Mr Beaman explained. “The extent of the works, will help water-flow and quality, as well as the overall health of the river.” He said that impact of the
removal, will be checked throughout the month’slong project. “We will be monitoring water-flow, quality, and bank erosion, throughout the duration of the works, with safety to workers and the environment our biggest priority,” Mr Beaman said. “We will continue to update the community throughout the execution of these works and on the monitoring program,” he concluded.
Skin in the game; Pharmacy trial expansion for minor conditions By HARRIET GILMORE PHARMACISTS are increasingly taking-on medical diagnosis and treatment, to help alleviate the continuing shortage of health professionals. Continuing this trend, the NSW Government recently announced it is expanding its pharmacy trial to allow patients to access treatments for minor skin conditions, without the need to visit a doctor. The full trial, which began last May, allows pharmacists to dispense medications to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the oral contraception pill, without a prescription from your GP. Warren Pharmacy is one of more than 1200 chemists around the State participating in the initiative which, since its launch, has involved pharmacists conducting more than 12,000 consultations — thereby relieving pressure on GPs by making it easier for people to access basic medications. NSW Health Minister, Ryan Park, said the expansion of the trial is due to the increasing difficulty in being able to book a
timely appointment with a GP. “Empowering pharmacists to safely prescribe and dispense basic everyday medica-tions, will save people time as well as relieve pressure on our GPs,” Mr Park said. “It’s encouraging to see this trial is progressing well and the take-up is better than expected,” he added. Mr Park assured patients utilising the trial, that safeguards have been put in place to ensure its compliance with best-practice medicine. The scheme continues to undergo evaluation for efficacy, safety, and ethical soundness, he explained.. “We want to ensure this is done safely, and we are determined to get it right. “We are constantly assessing how we can deliver healthcare more efficiently, as well as safely, and I am excited about the opportunities to expand this initiative elsewhere,” Mr Park concluded. The NSW Government is soon to announce when they plan to expand the trial to include medications for minor skin conditions.

Helping farmers fight bushfires — large landowner vehicle rego trial
Private fire-fighting vehicles are now exempt from registration fees, thanks to a new trial partnership between the RFS and Transport NSW. PHOTO: RFS
By HARRIET GILMORE UNREGISTERED farmer-owned fire-fighting vehicles can play a vital role in battling bushfires, with a new scheme designed to better integrate their role with volunteer firefighters.and the Rural Fire Service. Farmers across NSW who have a dedicated fire-fighting vehicle on their property, are being encouraged to take part in the trial scheme, with interested landowners now having less than a month left to register. Transport NSW and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) have partnered to enable the use of unregistered private fi re-fighting vehicles, provided they meet specific eligibility criteria. Fire Fighting Vehicles (FFFVs) or Farm Fire Units (FFU) to comply, must meet stringent guidelines, including the permanent attachment of fire-fighting equipment, operation within a 100km radius of the storage address, and be maintained in a safe, operating condition. These restrictions ensure that the vehicles are still safe and adequately equipped to assist in emergency situations and contribute effectively to firefighting efforts, despite the vehicles being unregistered. NSW Emergency Services Minister, Jihad Dib, urged farmers across NSW to make the most of the trial before
nominations close on Sunday, March 31. “Landholders in rural areas can play a key fi refighting role and this trial allows us to test an arrangement that rural advocates have been calling for,” Mr Dib said. “By allowing farmers to collaborate more seamlessly with the RFS in safeguarding their properties and those of their neighbours, this arrangement could enhance the state’s bush fi re capabilities,” he added. RFS Commissioner, Rob Rogers, acknowledged the valuable contribution of these units in rural fi re-fighting efforts, particularly with landholders often serving as initial responders. “Allowing eligible farm fire vehicles to operate without registration, ensures a more swift and coordinated response during emergency bushfire incidents,” Commissioner Rog-ers said. “With high grass fuel loads across the state, getting on top of fi res as soon as we can is crucial to minimise loss and damage,” he added. The Bushfi re Danger Period is still in place for most of NSW, so it is timely that those who can take advantage of this opportunity do so, he concluded. To nominate a vehicle for the trial, farmers can drop-in to their Transport NSW office, complete the nomination form, and provide two photographs of their nominated vehicle.

To recycle or no… locals urged to have their say By HARRIET GILMORE LOCALS are being urged to have their say; Warren Shire Council is investigating introducing recycling collection options in the Shire in coming months, but only if it is supported by the community. To this end, a short survey has been mailed to all ratepayers asking for their input into the proposal to establish a fortnightly kerbside recycling collection in Warren, Nevertire, and Collie. Ratepayers, however, will be charged an annual fee should the service go ahead with the proposed charge approximately $150 per premise annually. This equates to about $2.90 per week and would be in addition to the existing domestic garbage waste charge. All residents would also be charged this annual rate, whether they choose to use the recycling service or not. Warren Shire Council General Manager, Gary Woodman, said that the feedback from the survey will help inform Council on the service, which he hopes the community will get-behind. Mr Woodman said that he was also surprised at how modest the likely cost of its implementation — which would also include the supply of the bins — worked out too. “The survey closes towards the end of the month, with results reported to the Ewenmar Waste Depot Commit-

tee and Warren Shire Council’s April meeting,” Mr Woodman said. “Should the proposal be successful, it will be included in the 2024/25 Draft Estimates, and we hope to have it up-
and-running in the fi rst three months of the new fi nancial year,” he added. Should the recycling proposal be supported, Mr Woodman said the service could be introduced as early September this year, with a contractor from Dubbo to process and manage the service. A second survey on a proposal to introduce a “Rural Waste Management Charge” has also been issued this week, along with the recycling survey. Council is proposing a $10 a year (per rateable assessment) charge be introduced to rural ratepayers, to support the costs associated with managing waste services facility in town. Residents who access kerbside collection already pay a “Domestic Waste Service” charge on their annual rates with part of this charge is for the management of the Ewenmar Waste Facility. Rural ratepayers who cannot access a kerbside collection do not pay this charge, but they still have full access to the same waste disposal facilities. By law, all waste must be taken to a waste facility and not ‘landfi lled’ on rural properties. To ensure Council can continue to provide a waste service and recover the costs to provide this service, they are asking for feedback on the proposed new fee, to make the recovery of these costs: “fair and equitable across the entire community.” The survey closes next week.

HAVE YOUR SAY! Have Your Say! – Tell Us What You Think About The Rural Waste Service Ratepayers in the Warren Shire who can access a kerbside collection service pay a Domestic Waste Service charge in their annual rates.

Reaping rewards: Egelabra bids farewell to Farm Manager, Rob
Retirement after decades of farm management, Rob Job (right) with long-term Egelabra colleague, Agronomist Glen Orman. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. Contributed AFTER almost two decades, Egelabra Merino Stud has paid tribute to long-term farm manager Rob Job, who retired recently. Rob, who’s commonly-described as: “one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” grew-up on his family farm near Tullamore. After his schooling years, Rob returned home to the family farm where his Dad taught him to get out of bed early, work hard, and drink a glass of milk every day: “Follow these simple rules, and you will live forever,” he said. He then worked throughout the district, including as a builder in Parkes, steel fabricator in Narromine, and earthmover in Nyngan, be-
fore fi nding his true passion back on the farm. Rob spent 12 years at the Shepherd Family’s farm at “Baroona”, Narromine as the farm foreman in an intensive, large-scale irrigated vegetable production farm. It was during this time that he also married Chris, and had two children, Nicole and Robbie. After the Shepherds sold their farm in 1989, Rob continued to grow his career as a farm manager working for Agricultural Investments Australia (AIA) on their properties, “Wirrigai”, “Nundah”, “Kianga”, and “Ningawalla” in the Narromine district and at “Gunnadilly” at Quirindi. In 2000, the family moved to “New Merrigal” at Collie for eight years, before joining
Egelabra farming group have paid tribute to Rob Job, their farm manager for almost two decades, who recently retired.
Egelabra as the Farm Manager in March, 2008. During his time at Egelabra, Rob cropped 6000–7000 hectares of dryland annually, growing wheat, barley, canola, faba beans, and chickpeas. He also managed the irrigation of pastures in the earlier days and phased-in more cash crops on irrigation in the later years. Rob formed a great team with Agronomist Glen Orman and, together, they grew some outstanding crops. Egelabra General Manager, Cam Munro, remembers Glen saying to: “don’t let this fella go, sign him up” when he mentioned Rob had applied for the Farm Manager position in 2008. Rob and Malcolm Kater would share many kilo-
metres together driving around the HEK farms planning the year ahead during his years at Egelabra. He also had a very good eye for livestock, Cam revealed. “On many of his trips around the farms, he would have great input into management; in his kind way, he would let me know which mob he thought should be moved,” Cam said. “Rob is an excellent communicator; which flowed through from the Director right through to fi rst-year Jackaroos,” Cam added. He was a seven-days-a week worker who made sure that chemicals, seed, and fuel, did not hold anyone up. “He is a kind and caring person who would never say ‘no’ to helping anyone,” Cam said.
“We wish Rob and his family all the best in his well-deserved retirement.” Never to keep a good man down, Rob will now continue his association with Egelabra on a casual basis. “With their son Robbie, they now reside in Nevertire; keeping busy with house renovations. “You have come full-circle, Rob,” Cam said. For a very busy man, he enjoys a recreation that is both relaxing and reflective. “When Rob has some downtime, he loves to throw a fi shing line in; on his resume he wrote ‘when time permits.’.” “Rob, we hope you have plenty of time now, to enjoy reeling in,” Cam concluded.

Bush crime Faith Matters wave! Regional rate, higher than Sydney metro areas By MICHAEL CAMPBELL
By HARRIET GILMORE IN a stark reminder for country communities, a recent study has suggested that crime in the bush is worse than in Sydney — with the gap growing. Regional lawlessness has continued to dominate headlines around the State, with the release of a report reaffirming that the rate of offending in rural and regional NSW, is higher than in metropolitan areas. The study has prompted legislative changes from country politicians demanding action, and a current inquiry into regional crime. NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research announced last week in their report on crime rates for 2023, that crime in NSW, is far worse in regional and rural areas. In Warren, the report found domestic violence related assault had increased a staggering 47.2 per cent, while malicious damage to property had increased by 39.1 percent over the two years to December 2023. In 2023, the rate of property crime in regional NSW was 59 per cent higher than in Sydney and the rate of violent crime in regional NSW was 57 per cent higher than in Sydney, NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Executive Director, Jackie Fitzgerald, revealed. “A long-standing feature of crime in NSW is that regional, rural, and remote locations, tend to experience higher rates of crime than in the city,” Ms Fitzgerald said. “The gap has grown over time, as crime reductions in Sydney, exceeded those in the regions from 2004 to 2023,” she added. She revealed, however, that regional NSW crime is not evenly-distributed and particular regional locations show crime rates much higher than the State average. In 2023, rates of both violent and property crime, were almost three times the NSW average in the far-west of the State, she said. While crime is higher in Regional NSW than in Sydney, it is not the case that crime is necessarily increasing. In Regional NSW, most property crimes were considerably lower in 2023 compared to 2004. The following offences, however, have increased significantly in regional NSW over the five years from 2019 to 2023. f Motor vehicle theft — up 20 per cent, or 1239 additional incidents; f Domestic assault — up 24 per cent, or 3284 additional incidents; f Non-domestic assault — up 14 per cent, or 1825 additional incidents; f Sexual assault —– up 47 per cent, or 1505 additional incidents. Warren Shire Council General Manager, Gary Woodman said that he continues to meet regularly with local police, adding
that Council had also requested a meeting with the head of the Orana Mid-Western Police District, to discuss local crime. Last week, the NSW Government announced legislative reform to strengthen bail laws for young offenders as well, with plans to introduce a new offence for “posting-and-boasting” about crimes on social media, Premier Chris Minns said. “I’ve spoken to mayors, police area commanders and local communities who have said we need to do more when it comes to crime rates, so that’s what we’re doing,” Mr Minns said in announcing the reforms. “We know there is no easy solution, but the reforms we are announcing today, look at the big picture at a whole-of-community level, to really intervene and help prevent crime and give young people a chance at life,” he added. The bush, he said, would not be forgotten in the new laws. “We will not leave regional communities behind, and we will ensure regional communities are safe and appealing places to work, live and raise a family. “We need to work across government — police, schools, mental health — and, importantly in partnership with community leaders, Aboriginal organisations and NGOs,” Mr Minns said. The Country Mayors Association (CMA) of NSW welcomed the news of the initiatives by the NSW Government aimed at addressing regional youth crime. They argued, though, that much-more needs to be done. CMA Chair, Gunnedah Mayor, Councillor Jamie Chaffey, said the package of reforms was a much-needed fi rst step, and showed that the NSW Government was listening and willing to make change. “This is a very encouraging way forward; however, we still have a long way to go to make meaningful change, Cr Chaffey said. “The Bureau of Crime Statistics shows regional crime is a problem across the board — not just in youth crime — but in sexual assault, domestic assault, and breaches of AVOs,” he added. He said that the focus of kids getting into trouble, was only one facet of the bush crime wave, with a full enquiry needed to fi x the problem. “None of these new initiatives, address inequity in any area other than youth crime, which is only part of the problem. “While we welcome the announcement, a parliamentary inquiry into crime and policing resources in regional NSW, is still badly needed so that victims of regional crime, support workers, past and present law enforcement officers, and communities have an op-portunity to share their lived experiences and offer suggested solutions to address and turn around the current situation,” Cr Chaffey concluded.
HAVE you heard of a “black swan event”? The English always had white swans. So much so, they did not give much thought to the idea of a swan that was not white. “They don’t exist,” might have been the reply if someone had asked. That was until the explorers brought back from the great southern land, aka Western Australia, a pair of black swans. What a surprise! What an impact! I have heard some say the resurrection of Jesus from the dead is a black swan event: “It could not happen! Death is natural. Every living thing dies eventually. If Jesus existed, he must have died somewhere, somehow.” The problem is: it happened, as reported by many eyewitnesses, and it was predicted. The prophet Isaiah had advance warning of the death of Jesus: “they made
his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death” (53:9). In the very next verse, “the Lord shall prolong his days” - a hint to life after death. The story of the sacrifice of Isaac is considered a resurrection prophecy - the son lives even though he was offered up to death. The everlasting kingdom promise to King David (2 Samuel 7) is dependent on the defeat of death. David wrote a song (Ps 16) in which he foretold the death Jesus, but not long enough “for your Holy One to see decay” (16:10). Both Peter and Paul reference this Psalm as a prophecy pointing to the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 2:27; 13:35). Even as early as the patriarch Job, who was probably a contemporary of Noah’s sons, there was an expectation that both Job and his Redeemer would live, “in the flesh” (19:25-27).

Dave’s poem honours murals at Racecourse and Showground
Long-standing member of Warren Rodeo Horse Committee, David Egan, with his poem that is to be mounted next to the new murals at the Warren Racecourse and Showground.
From page 1 From its inception more than 80 years ago, the Warren Rodeo Horse Committee held annual rodeo horse events until 1990. The organisation has been very generous with their donations around the community, offering funds to Calara House, the Hospital, the Rotary Club, local churches, the Warren Ambulance station, local schools, the CWA, as well as community homes in Warren and Dubbo. The Horse Committee Chairman’s Report — By David Terrance Egan We all at the meeting got quite a fright, When learning the trouble of our plight A committee must form, our asset to guard So pick good horsemen it

should not be hard, To care for the horses all the year round, A job for good men 1 will be bound. Around the room we cast a glance, Barry was in but not by chance For years he worked the pickup scene And always plucked his rider clean. We looked at Charlie and saw him grin, A quick nomination and he was in. The vote then went to a man at the back, Tall and lean and looking quite mean, But Campbell was a horseman He took the job and seemed quite keen. We voted for Fred and he
joined the boys, No better horseman ever held a rein He worked the flooded country Where man and horse they felt the strain. The folk looked round in despair And picked me out to take the chair. Alex Herbert made the number six But later passed his job to Max Another super horseman That never could relax. The super five soon set the pace And sent the horses place to place, I use the five because in the chair I have no vote but I am there to share. The super five we call them now
For the years were long and hard, Through heat and rain and not complain When their sweat dripped down on the horses mane. The droughts were bad and no days off They muster the horses for miles in heat To fi nd a patch of grass to eat, And many times would again repeat. The horses to town would come every year So all the young bucks take leave to appear. Straddle the horses and check all their gear Then open the shoots and head for the sky A roll in the dust and walk away with a sigh. Yes, thirty years of constant care For all the mob both horse
and mare, The type of care they knew so well The super five have earned their spell. When all was young and gay boys, And all the grass was green You loved your job and did it well But now you face the full time bell. Now all the world is old boys And the grass is turning brown The horses now have gone boys And the wheels are running down. Creep off to some quiet corner And think about the past The super five have gone now Remember them, we will on a little plaque.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Pharmacy agreement reached LAST week, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, reached an agreement with the Labor Government to secure Australia’s Eighth Community Pharmacy Agreement. While the full details are yet to be released, the Government will invest an additional $3 billion in community pharmacy and in cheaper medicines, following changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) which included 60-day dispensing. These ill-thought-out changes to the PBS were always going to have unintended consequences in the Parkes electorate, where the local pharmacist is often the only primary health-care professional in many small towns. Labor did not think through the ramifications for regional Australia, which threaten the viability of many of our small
pharmacies and the health of our communities. The Nationals launched a media campaign in protest of Labor’s doubling of prescription timeframes announced in last year’s Budget and so I welcome the ‘peace deal’ which will help regional, rural and remote pharmacies and those set to be most impacted by the changes to the PBS. I’m pleased a deal has been reached and I’m proud to back the pharmacists in the Parkes electorate.
Tax an attack on the bush I MET up with Kendall Tait from Tait Auto Group in Moree last week, to listen to her concerns about the impact that Labor’s proposed new Vehicle Efficiency Standard will have on their customers. The Toyota HiLux and LandCruiser are Tait Auto Group’s biggest sellers, but with these popular cars to face an emissions tax of $14,490 and $25,050, respectively, it will put them well out of reach for many rural families who rely on these vehicles to go about their daily lives. In a cost of living crisis, now isn’t the time to be driving the price of vehicles up by thousands. This tax won’t just make new cars more expensive, it
Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton met with Tait Auto Group General Manager, Kendall Tait, to discuss Labor’s proposed new Vehicle Efficiency Standard. will also drive-up the cost of second-hand cars. This is an attack on people in the bush and will only see many families keep their current car for longer, resulting in an older and less efficient national fleet. The Coalition has launched a campaign against Labor’s family car and ute tax because we understand that families need larger cars and
there aren’t many hybrid or EV options within most families’ budgets.
Qantas Regional Grants Program open THE Qantas Regional Grants Program is back, offering $2 million in support of Australian communities and projects that will directly benefit our country’s regional areas. I encourage not-for-profit
community organisations in the Parkes electorate to apply for this opportunity, for innovative projects that maximise local community benefits and improve their services into the future. Successful recipients will be offered a combination of cash grants, fl ights in kind and marketing support. Applications are open until mid May 2024.
Warren Council is celebrating Gary’s three years at the helm

WARREN Shire Council is celebrating the third anniversary of the appointment of General Manager, Gary Woodman. It is doing this by also reflecting on Council’s achievements over the past three years, while looking ahead to the priorities for 2024. Warren Shire Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley, said that, although the recent past had presented challenges ranging from COVID-19 to excessive rainfall and flooding, many achievements have been realised during this time. “The past three years have been a challenging time for the Warren Shire community, but Gary Woodman has led the operations of our Council with a steady and focused presence, and we are all very grateful for his strong and dedicated leadership during this time,” Cr Quigley said. “Gary was instrumental in the management of the continuous flooding of the Macquarie River and creeks throughout the area in 2022 and has been a driving force in the completion of the restoration and rehabilitation programs across our road and infrastructure network since then,” he added. The past three years had also included completion of the $1.275 million state-of-the-art Western Plains Equestrian Centre, completion of the $6.5 million Warren
Sewerage Treatment Works, refurbishment of the Nevertire Water Reservoir, recommencement of a 15-year Plant Replacement Program, and completion of the Warren Shire Mural Program, Cr Quigley explained. “We have also taken-back the Routine Maintenance Councils Contract (RMCC) for the State Highway 11 Oxley Highway within Warren Shire, overseen a change of management for the Warren Family Health Centre General Practice services to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and celebrated many community and cultural events including the Warren Shire Street Christmas Party, which won Community Event of the Year in 2022.” On behalf of Warren Shire Council and the broader community, Clr Quigley thanked Mr Woodman for his “invaluable contribution” to the district since 2021. Mr Woodman, for his part, said that he was gratified at all that Council had carried-out during his tenure so far, and was now focusing on the priorities for 2024. “I’m very proud of what we have achieved together, for the Warren Shire community, despite the challenges of the past few years,” Mr Woodman said. “I would like to thank my wonderful staff and committed councillors, for their dedication and expertise in working to improve
the quality of life for all citizens in the Warren Shire,” he added. Successes of the past, plans for the future, were the theme of the rest of the Council term, Mr Woodman enthused. “Together, we have realised some fantastic achievements for our community. “In looking to what lies ahead in 2024, we will be focusing on the completion of significant infrastructure projects, including the Carter Oval Youth Sports Precinct, and the commencement of the $7.1 million Warren Town Levee Rehabilitation Project, to help future-proof our community.” Capital works are the key to enhancing and improving the qualify-of-life for residents in the Shire, he revealed. “We will continue undertaking major works under various flood and storm damage restoration programs across our expansive road network, with in excess of $13 million worth of restoration works soon to be commenced, together with heavy patching and reconstruction works on State Highway 11 Oxley Highway within Warren Shire, and the improvement of our major water and sewer assets. “I look forward to what the future holds and to continuing our work to achieve the very best for the people of Warren Shire,” Mr Woodman concluded.

ROY’S OY’S OUND-UP ROUND-UP Comment mment by ROY Y BUTLER, te Member State for Barwon
G’day folks, I WAS sidelined last week by a dose of COVID, which seems to be everywhere at the moment. It meant that my team had to move some things around and fi ll-in for me at a couple of meetings and events, but I recovered in time to make it to Broken Hill for the St Patrick’s Day Races, and now I am back on deck this week for the second of two consecutive sitting weeks.
Communications on the road RECENTLY, I fi nally managed to get the communications and electrics in my new car sorted out. The last 7500 kilometres that I have had to travel without the cel-fi booster, second battery, UHF, and the other mod-cons of my old car, has been more difficult when I was in remote parts of the electorate. It can be frustrating when you’re out on the road and phone calls are dropping-out and other messages just aren’t reaching me. It will be good to be able to get better phone reception when I’m out and about.
Condobolin catch-up THE week before last, I was back on the road, this time to Condobolin for a catch-up at the new Lachlan Shire Visitor Information Centre. This is an impressive complex built near the famous “Utes in the Paddock” sculptures at the start of a sculpture trail — Sculpture Down the Lachlan — that stretches 100 kilometres from Condo to Forbes. I talked to locals and staff at the centre about how incredibly successful it has been so far. There has been a steady stream of tourists stopping
to have a look at the Utes, grab a drink or a bite at the cafe, and either heading into town to see all of the other things it has to offer, or following the sculpture trail to Forbes. The Visitor Centre also has local products for sale and information on tourism in the Lachlan Shire and surrounding areas. If anyone is thinking of visiting this amazing part of the world, the Visitor Centre is a great jumping off point.
Lake Cargelligo team meet-up AFTER Condobolin, I headed to Lake Cargelligo for a meeting with members of my team. Given that they work in three offices separated by hundreds of kilometres, this was an important chance for us to meet face-to-face, to socialise and bond, but also to work-out how we can do things more efficiently and improve communications between the offices. While all of my staff get on and work well with each other, there are always things that we can do better. While there, we went to a morning tea at the local Men’s Shed. At the morning tea, we heard a presentation by the Healthy Communities Foundation Australia, talking about the mental health programs that they run, to break down the stigma of mental health problems, and to give people easier access to help and training on how to help. This is a great initiative, given the perception is often that country people are supposed to be tough, to cope, and just get on with things, and they often suffer in silence. These programs will be a big help for mental health in the country. For more details, call 1300 147 761. I have had a long association with Lake Cargelligo, going back to my childhood. So, it was also nice to catch-up with an old friend, Cec, while I was there. Cec and I boarded for six years together from 1989 to 1994 at St. Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill (known as “Joey’s”). From the age of about 16 in school holidays, I used to come-out to Lake and stay
with Cec and his family. Beautiful people, and a pleasure to catch-up. I want to thank the people of Lake Cargelligo for their hospitality towards me and my team and I look forward to future visits.
Healthy Harold EARLY in March, I had an online meeting with Jonathon Peatfield, the CEO of LifeEd, the organisation behind “Healthy Harold”, the giraffe who makes his way around the State teaching kids about living a healthy lifestyle. Jonathon was letting me know that I had been named as an official ambassador for Harold, and that I was invited to an event at Parliament at which I would receive official recognition as an ambassador. Ironically, I was too unhealthy with COVID to accept a plaque and a lapel button as an official ambassador for Healthy Harold. I was represented by a staff member, who accepted on my behalf at a function at NSW Parliament. I will be mounting the plaque in my office, and I will wear the button with pride. I want to thank Healthy Harold and Life Ed NSW/ACT for all that they do to teach kids right across Barwon and the rest of NSW about the benefits of living a healthy life. I will continue to advocate for the organisation to ensure that it continues to educate generations of children for years in the foreseeable future.
Bail laws LAST week, the government announced changes to the Bail Act that would affect young repeat offenders who steal cars and those who fi lm their offences to brag about them online. The amendment bill makes it so that the offenders won’t be released on bail unless the judge has a high degree of confidence that they won’t re-offend while on bail. The Government also announced measures, aimed specifically at Moree, to target youth crime, including a new bail accommodation and support service, developed in con-
sultation with the community, and tied-in with Indigenous organisations, Elders, and cultural and family support. While I commend the Government’s attempts to do something about a serious problem, my concern is that these measures only target Moree, which fails to address the problem in other regional areas, where youth crime is just as acute, or in some cases, worse. I still maintain that young people need to be incarcerated for serious offences, in line with community expectations. However, there is a lot of evidence to show that imprisoning children who commit minor offences, often leads to them becoming repeat offenders. Some see it as a badge of pride that they have “done time”, some commit crimes to get away from family problems or to get three meals a day, a bed, and some structure to their lives. There is a strong link between hopelessness, dysfunction, and criminality. What is needed, is more locally-based programs as an alternative to bail or incarceration, these are sadly lacking in many of the towns where youth crime is a problem.
Committee LAST week might have been a bit quieter than usual while I was isolating and getting over a dose of COVID, but I still found my name coming-up in Parliament. You know what it’s like when you miss work or a meeting because you’re sick, and someone gives you another job? Despite spending the week away from Macquarie Street, I still got another job. Last week in the NSW Parliament, I was honoured to be appointed to the Joint Select Committee on the NSW Reconstruction Authority, replacing my friend and colleague, Philip Donato. This committee oversees the operation of the NSW Reconstruction Authority Act, reviewing the legislation and its policy objectives and watching over the work of the Reconstruction Authority, particularly in the wake of natural disasters in this State. It is important to have a regional representative on this
committee, given the significant portion of natural disasters that occur in the country.
St Patrick’s Day Races
IT was good to fi nally be out and about again last week after the bout of COVID. On Friday, I flew to Broken Hill to be at the St Pat’s Race Club cocktail evening at The Broken Hill Pub, which is always a cracking night. It gives me a chance to catch-up with not only people directly involved with the race and committee, but locals, media personalities, business owners, and local government representatives; kind of like speed meeting on steroids. Many of the people there I have come into contact with over several years. There was a great turn-out for the St Pat’s Race Club Broken Hill Races the next day. I don’t often bet, I don’t think I am very good at it, but I had a go, and left with what I started with! The crowd had travelled in from many parts of NSW and other states. It wasn’t too hot either. A very positive mood among the people and lots of laughing and smiles. NSW Country and Picnic Racing is so important to our local economies, it’s also part of country culture and tradition. Well done to the committee and the multitude of businesses, people and groups who get behind the event.
Treasure Life Ride
WE have some local Broken Hill boys participating in the Treasure Life Ride 2024. Treasure Life Ride is a biennial long-distance cycling challenge aiming to challenge riders and raise funds for non-profits that support everyone from the very young to the elderly. This year, the ride starts in Whyalla and over five days and 650 kilometres they windup in Port Lincoln. Michael, the CEO and Manager of the Broken Hill Musicians Club, is completing the ride, I consider Michael a mate, and I am amazed at his determination and focus to get ready for this ride.

DANGERS and pitfalls of online interactions for our young was the subject of a recent presentation for local kids. Youth Engagement police officers from Dubbo recently attended Warren Central School’s Year Five and Year Six class to discuss this growing issue. They presented a short production called, “ThinkUKnow”; which is aimed at educating young people about the very real dangers and serious responsibilities that come with having a social media presence. ThinkUKnow taught the
students about the legal ages for having social media accounts, revealing that children younger than 13–16, are not allowed to have any accounts on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and SnapChat. The officers also discussed the issues of harassment, intimidation, bullying, and abuse online, which are all police matters, and generally not dealt with by schools. “These are, sadly, very real and regular occurrences for our students, and it was enlightening for us to learn that children as young as 10 years of age, can be charged
with cyber offences,” a school spokesperson said. “Overall, the presentation was a wonderful opportunity for our young students to learn a lot of very relevant information about cyber safety from two officers who are very knowledgeable in the field,” they added. On Friday March 15, Year 11 students were also busy selling green cupcakes for St Patrick’s Day, raising money for the Year 12 formal. Regular civic, academic, and community awards for students were also presented during the week.

A TOTAL of 10 very special St Mary’s Parish School children, recently participated in a retreat at which they made their First Reconciliation (confession). This was a lovely day where the children learnt about choices, forgiveness, penance, and the importance of reconciling. They were also treated to a lunch of pizza and garlic bread; with thanks to Fr Abraham for making this such a reverent occasion, and to the
families for supporting this faith journey. In another triumphant milestone for the School, three weeks ago, Kindergarten students were set a challenge; if everyone reads at least one night a week, for three weeks in a row, they would be taken to the park. Everyone did it! So, on Friday, the children were rewarded with their big excursion. Regular class and school awards, were also presented during the week.

Elson Boy wins Country Championship Qualifier – raced Sunday, March 17, 2024
RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES A ROCK hard fit and tenacious Elson Boy, in a thrilling fi nish won the $150,000 Newhaven Park WRA Country Championship Qualifier over 1400 metres, before a big crowd on Sunday at Coonamble. Trained at Dubbo by Dar Lunn for Guy Mitchell (Binnaway) and Rob Pratten (Dubbo), the four-year-old gelding Elson Boy had started six times during the current campaign, winning at Orange and twice at Dubbo. Sent to the early lead in the 14 horse field by Sydney-based jockey Tommy Berry, Elson Boy held a half length advan-
tage over stablemate Pants On Fire when heads turned for home with Listen To The Band and Sizzle Minizzle close up while the favourite Gallant Star was winding up from midfield. Joined In front by Listen To The Band, Elson Boy ($11) fought back to win by a half head from the strong finishing Gallant Star (Sam Clipperton, $1.60 favourite) with a head to the nine-year-old Listen To The Band (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $5) while Sizzle Minizzle (Shannen Llewellyn) held on well for fourth. Elson Boy and the Brett Robb, Dubbo trained Gallant Star have now qualified for the $1,000,000 Newhaven Park
Country Champi-onship Final at Royal Randwick in April. Star jockey Tommy Berry had earlier won on Canamble for Wyong trainer Damien Lane and D’Oro Choice for Orange trainer Alison Smith. Formerly from Coonamble, Damien Lane will set Canamble ($4) for the $200,000 Wellington Boot after the dashing win in the Prelude on Sunday. The other Tommy Berry winner, D’Oro Choice ($2.40) blitzed the field when leading throughout for a five lengths win in the 1600 metres Class One and Maiden Plate. Another high profi le jockey at Coonamble was Brisbane based James Orman, who landed a double on the Cam-
eron Crockett, Scone-trained pair Competition ($2.60 to $2.15 fav.) and Don’t Call Me Honey ($2.70 fav.). Not content to let the city jockeys completely dominate the meeting, senior jockey Wendy Peel (Dubbo), and apprentices Will Stanley (Orange) and Braith Nock (Scone) booted home winners. Given a good run behind the leaders by Wendy Peel, the Natalie Pearce, Dubbo trained Sports Page ($3.60) resumed from a spell to win the opening event, the 1100 metres Maiden Plate. At the second run for Dubbo trainer Cindy Monaghan since coming from Queensland stables, Peony Surprise
(Braith Nock, $5.50) wore down the leader Van Charlotte (Sam Clipperton, $4) to win by a short head with Mrs Bull (Mitch Stapleford, $3.20 fav.) third in the 1400 metres Inland Petroleum Super Maiden Showcase Plate.
Trained at Coonamble by Cec Hodgson, Dream Game produced a big performance to win the 1400 metres Nutrien AG Solutions Benchmark 58 Showcase Handicap.
Dream Game (Will Stanley, $8.50) half reared at the start and came from a conspicuous last to beat Rouge Moulin (Shannen Llewellyn, $3.40) and Plenitude (James Orman, $3.40 to $2 favourite).

Wooly wraps up a successful Rams campaign in 2024 By DALLAS REEVES WARREN-BASED head coach Tony ‘Wooly’ Woolnough rates this year’s Andrew Johns Cup side he mentored as one of the best he has seen in his time working with the green-and-whites. The under 16s regional representative rugby league team, which included Warren’s Ryan George, lost a gripping semi-final, 1810, against the Central Coast Roosters at Woy Woy Oval on Saturday, March 16. Woolnough, who started his coaching journey as a 19-year-old with the Warren under 16s in the early 1990s, said it was one of the best Western sides he has seen since he become involved with the program around 2018. In 2019, the Western Rams made the final of the Andrew Johns Cup. Woolnough said this team has just as much talent despite being knocked out one weekend earlier than the team five years ago. “This side was special … (it) had a lot of talent,” Woolnough said. “It was a pleasure to coach them. We just made mistakes at crucial times on the weekend and that was what hurt us. “I’m very proud of the group though. I was with a team that made the fi nal (in 2019) and this team was probably no better, but definitely just as good.” The Western Rams lost on the bell 2622 in Round One against the Macarthur Wests Tigers. They then went on a four-game winning
streak to top the Southern Pool. Western defeated Riverina 34-12, Monaro 30-6, Illawarra South Coast 50-22 and Greater Northern 52-10. That left them feeling confident ahead of the knockout semi-fi nal but Central Coast scored a pair of converted tries to lead 12-nil on Saturday. Western fought back to 12-10 with a double to dynamic fullback Taj Jordan but the Roosters were able to score again and convert to win by eight points. Woolnough has covered many a mile to coach this side where players can be based between Lithgow and Nyngan. Regular mid-week training sessions were held at Cumnock and Parkes on top of the travel to home and away matches. Woolnough said despite the late nights, early starts and frequent travel, he just loves coaching. “I’ve always loved teaching kids the mechanics of the game,” he said. “I’ve always tried to look beyond the basic aspects of the sport and move beyond that.” His journey started at the Warren under 16s but has included stints with Warren at various levels, Group 11, the Far West Academy of Sport where he worked with Nyngan’s Col Wright and bush legend Ronny Gibbs among others before progressing onto the Rams set-up. Woolnough said George, who started at prop at on Saturday, was solid throughout the campaign.

James, Doug, win Marthaguy’s McKay-George Shield for 2024 By DOUG FREETH DEDICATED award for the local top batter and best bowler for the 2023/2024 season at USC Marthaguy Cricket Club, was recently presented at a special event. With the weekend off after fi nishing the season on top of the table and with longtime player, John McKay Snr also in town, USC Marthaguy took the opportunity to have a get-together and present the McKay-George Shield for the season’s leading run-scorer and leading wicket-taker. The Shield was created last year by senior player, Pop Jenkins, after senior players decided to hold a presentation each year to acknowledging the top two club men for each season. The batting award is named after John McKay — a longtime top-order hitter and wicket-keeper for Marthaguy —, who fi nished-up his playing career a couple years ago after a premiership season. John was regularly the leading run-scorer for Marthaguy as well as organiser of the team for many years. John led Marthaguy, and then USC Marthaguy, to multiple premierships over the years, many on the back of his batting. Current team organiser, Mick George, an outstanding spin bowler for USC Marthaguy, was the choice for the bowling award. Mick, in his younger years led the team in wickets taken regularly with “MG” once awarded Gilgandra district Cricketer of the Year, an award usually dominated by all-rounders, purely based on his bowling. This outstanding season, where he was the leading wicket-taker in competition

PHOTO: SUPPLIED. by a mile, was an achievement by far the most deserving of the award. All in the Club therefore agreed that, without the dedication of both John and Mick, the Club would unlikely still be running, and so the name of the Shield was decided. For the 2023/24 season, the John McKay leading run-scorer was won by James Glasson who compiled 351 runs at a
stunning average of 50.14 per innings. Second place went to John McKay Jnr, who scored 249 runs at an impressive average of 62.25. Third place was won by Hugh Duncan with 247 runs at a average of 49.4. The Michael George bowling award, was won by Doug Freeth who took 17 wickets at a miserly average of only 6.4. Second place was Hugh Duncan who took 10 at an average
of 10.3 and, in third place, was James Glasson with 10 wickets at an average of 19. Congratulations to all who played this year, with special mention to James Glasson and Hugh Duncan, who were standout all-rounders for the team and appeared in the top three for both awards. USC Marthaguy now head to Gilgandra this Saturday, March 23, to contest the
Grand Final against reigning premiers, Coonamble. The semi-fi nal between Coonamble and Biddon Tooraweenah on Saturday was abandoned after one innings due to rain, with Coonamble being the higher team on the ladder, and so progressing to the Final. The team encourages any interested supporters to come along on Saturday and cheer the lads on!
