Fun of the fair, and it’s only two weeks away! STORY: PAGE 4 Window on the Wetlands funds boost to increase accessibility for tourists

By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN’S Window on the Wetlands (WoW) Centre has received a funding boost to help increase tourism and accessibility at the unique local visitor and information hub.

RiverSmart Australia, which manages the WoW Centre, has received $10,000 from the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal (FRRR) to build a coach-disembarking point and new concrete pathways to improve access and accessibility for all patrons.

RiverSmart Australia Chair, Kate Mildner said that, now the funding has been secured, they hope to get the job started as soon as possible.

“The aim of the ‘Better Pathways to the WoW’ project, is to improve access for all, but also to help drive more tourism to the region,” Ms Mildner said.

Nevertire Hall fundraiser comes through with new beds, diagnostic sets, for RFDS

By HARRIET GILMORE VITAL hospital equipment — purchased after a hugely-successful bush fundraising event last year — has now arrived at Warren’s RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) Medical Centre.

Warren Health Action Committee’s (WHAC) bash at the Nevertire Hall in September 2023, raised more than $21,000 for the facility.

Making good with the money and at a cost of more than $11,000, the donation has already purchased a new foot-operated electric consult room bed for the Practice Nurses room, a treatment bed for the procedure room, and three wall-mounted diagnostic sets for the doctors’ rooms — including an auroscope for the ears and an ophthalmoscope for the eyes.

From page 1 The funding will help the organisation to build a concrete coach disembarkation point, new concrete pathways linking the disembarking point to the Visitors Information Centre, and a new café at the deconsecrated church, as well as adding a lawn area and helping drainage in the garden.

Ms Mildner revealed that, pre-COVID, coaches had been bringing tour parties out to Warren and beyond, but access to the WoW Centre, has since then become logistically a problem, especially in wet weather.

Once access is upgraded, Ms Mildner said, she hopes to attract the coach tours back again, as well as improving the overall appeal of the space for visitors and travellers.

Ms Mildner also revealed a new lessee will soon be opening a brandnew café in the old church at the WoW Centre. Renovations are currently underway with the new space expected to be open in the coming weeks.

RiverSmart was among 129 community groups across remote, rural, and regional Australia sharing nearly $1.4 million in grants through the FRRR’s flagship Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) program.

DUST Music, featuring the Storer family and Frances Evans were also among the grants, receiving $10,000 from the FRRR for their “Singing Your Stories” project, as reported in the Wednesday, May 1 issue of the Warren Star.

Awarded via three streams of funding, SRC grants support small and vital projects, COVID recovery projects, and disaster preparedness or recovery initiatives.

FRRR received a record 450 applications for this round of SRC funding, requesting more than $4.5 million in grants for projects valued at more than $19 million.

FRRR’s Place Portfolio Lead, Jill Karena, said that that there is an increasing need for FRRR to fi ll gaps in areas that may have previously relied on funding from government incentives or programs or support from local businesses.

“The SRC program is flexible and open year-round, meaning it can ‘lean-in’ when Government and other agencies ‘lean-out’,” Ms Karena said.

“This access to continued funding opportunities, is especially vital in communities that are moving beyond the immediate threats and response to natural disasters and other shocks,” she added.

The importance of this support, has been shown vital by the number of applications they are now receiving, she believes.

“This round, we have seen increased applications from the organisers of community events, such as local agricultural shows, as some local governments are reducing their annual funding support.

“We also saw increased funding requests from smaller more remote communities that are seeking to boost the local economy by developing activities and events to encourage overnight stays from visitors who would otherwise pass through,” Ms Karena revealed.

In addition to the 129 initiatives awarded grants, there were a further 85 funding-ready projects, requesting more than $900,000, that FRRR

did not have the funds to support.

This highlights the importance of small grants to remote, rural, and regional community groups and is why FRRR is seeking new partners so that the Foundation can fund more projects in the future, and also for semi-rural areas, she said.

“We also noticed an increase in applications from fringe metro areas and inner rural communities, which seems to indicate that they too are facing diminishing funding opportunities,” she said.

“Given the uncertainty of the current fi nancial landscape, groups have told us that they value having access to timely, secured funding to support medium to long-term goals, as well as initiatives that respond to present needs and priorities.”

These projects are vital for continuing community cohesion in the bush, she argues.

“These are the projects that create a sense of place and identity, and the people and organisations that make these inspiring projects happen, need our support,”Ms Karena said.

“SRC grants provide leverage as they demonstrate to other funders that the projects have value and are supported. But to be able to fund more of them, we need to bring in additional collaborative funders.”

Country areas need local groups with great ideas and projects to ensure that the bush continues to thrive.

“So we invite all those who want to see a thriving remote, rural, and regional Australia to join-us to support local initiatives,” Ms Karena said.

They really do make a difference,” she concluded.

The second Gilgandra Film Festival to showcase young talent

By NICHOLAS CROKER THE second annual Gilgandra Film Festival is set to take place later this month.

This year’s festival will feature one local documentary, one national, and one international.

Alongside these fi lms will be a newly introduced screening of local young director’s fi lms.

Film festival artistic director Simon Target said, “documentaries are a special genre in fi lmmaking and that local stories make the best inspiration”.

His short fi lm ‘Warrawong: the wind still blows’ will be a continuation of the 2023 documentary ‘Warrawong: The Windy Place on the Hill’, a documentary that explored “the notion of what life on a farm is like in modern Australia.” This was fi lmed at the foothills of the Warrumbungle mountains, featuring fi lm festival director Sue Armstrong and her late husband Brian, who passed away late last year.

Mr Target also directed the feature ‘Kozok: Alone across Australia’ following Polish photographer and adventurer Michael Kozok as he walks solo across Australia.

It will be included in the fi lm festival as a special test screening; this will be the fi rst time the documentary is shown to the public.

From Iranian director Marjan Khosravi comes ‘The

Dream of a Horse’, the story of Shahnaz, the oldest daughter of a nomadic family who live in the Iranian mountains.

Mr Target believes the Gilgandra screening of Ms Khosravi’s documentary will also be a national fi rst. “[It is] an extraordinary perspective,” he said.

The 2024 festival will also see the introduction of a young director’s segment, ‘Early Harvest Films’, where children from local primary schools compete to direct and produce documentary fi lms. The best will be presented at the Gilgandra Film Festival.

“When we piloted last year’s [festival], we thought we just had a bit of fun. Nobody expected it to be so successful,” said Mr Target.

Film festival director Mrs Armstrong the organisers are expecting the festival to be a fantastic regional event.

“We have the opportunity to see international as well as local documentaries presented to the community that you’d usually have to go to Sydney for.”

She also said that the film festival committee loved planning and pulling off the event last year.

“It was an absolute joy to see the reactions last year... to have another fun event would be a great achievement,” she said.

Fun of the fair, and it’s only two weeks away!

By HARRIET GILMORE THE 144th annual Warren Show is just two weeks away and it’s set to be a day full of colour, fun, agriculture, entertainment, and so much more for the whole family.

Justin Sanderson, President of the Warren Pastoral and Agriculture Association — organisers of the annual event — said that the Committee had held their fi nal meeting last week, and are now gearing-up for a fantastic day.

“Everyone on the volunteer Committee is incredibly excited for the upcoming annual show day,” Mr Sanderson said.

“We held our last meeting before the big day last week, with our volunteers busy getting all the final details for the day prepared,” he added.

Those interested in fi nding the schedule of events for the day, can also now obtain Show guides that are available throughout town as well as online, Mr Sanderson said.

“All your favourite attractions will be back again this year, including the pavilion, side-show alley, baby show, yard dog trials, quickshear, lawnmower races, Bushman’s relay, and a fantastic fi reworks display to round-out the evening.

Best of all, entry is free, we only ask for an optional gold coin donation,” Mr Sanderson enthused.

Highlights for the upcoming event include a new science show, called “Fizzics Education”, which is designed to keep the children entertained while learning something new.

The crowd favourite Quickshear competition has had record entries this year, Mr Sanderson said, while the ever-popular Baby Show is back again to be followed by a special performance

by Kirby McCutcheon Dance Experience students.

Other highlights include the yard-dog

trials, lawn-mower races, whip-cracking competition, wife-carrying competition, prime lamb competition, dog jumping, Bushman’s relay, horse events and show jumping, and the tug-o-war.

There will also be plenty to see in the Pavilion, with displays from the community across art, photography, literacy, crafts, cooking and more, and across the agriculture sections, including sheep, cattle, poultry and wool judging.

In more good news, the new cattle yards were also installed over the weekend, just in time for the Show with a dedicated group of volunteers from the Ccommittee, as well as the Warren Adult Riding Group, Warren Pony Club, Warren Team Penning Association, and Warren Shire Council, dismantling the old yards a few weeks ago, ready for the brand new $66,000 multi-purpose yards to go in.

Mr Sanderson also thanked the many sponsors and volunteers for the upcoming Warren Show.

“Thank you to all of the community members who volunteer their time each year, also to the many generous sponsors who continue to support the Warren Show and ensure it is the success it is,” Mr Sanderson said. ”Including the Warren Services Club for the fantastic fi reworks display, Nutrien Ag Solutions Wilson Russ, Macquarie Toyota, Elanco, as well as all of our other generous sponsors” he added.

There is another fundraising event to do with the Show, that he also invited all locals to get involved with.

“Tickets are on sale now for this year’s Show raffle, on offer is a fabulous five nights at The Peninsula in Mooloolaba,” Mr Sanderson said.

“Tickets are available now at St Mary’s or the Central School offices or from Alison Ruskin Rowe, also look-out for ticket sellers outside IGA in the leadup to the Show,” he concluded.

Coulton laments Nyngan as only NSW locale receiving remote air-strip funding THE recent announcement of remote airstrip funding is good news for Nyngan Airport but not so for the rest of western NSW, Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, has said.

Earlier this month, the local MP lamented the continuing delays in announcing the recipients of funding support from Round 10 of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program, for which applications had closed last December.

Mr Coulton — representing a Federal electorate that covers almost half of NSW — was doubly-disappointed when the funding was finally announced last week, revealing that just one of the 21 projects to receive money from the latest cache of grants was from NSW. He revealed that Nyngan Airport was the only western NSW facility to get the nod in Round 10, with Bogan Shire Council granted $116,550 towards a lighting upgrade for the runway.

Nine of the 21 projects funded in this tranche involved lighting upgrades or installations supporting taxiways at remote airstrips across the country. Queensland received the lion’s share of the grants (seven), followed by South Australia (five), the Northern

Only one remote air-strip in NSW has take-off clearance for new works, with Nyngan Airport funded under Round 10 of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program for runway lighting work. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. Territory (five), Western Australia (three) and NSW (one).

The smallest grant issued was just $30,705 for a passenger shelter and helipad lighting at Nipapanha (Nepabunna) Angepena Airstrip in north-east South Australia.

The largest grant was $2.956 million for an aeronautical lighting upgrade at the Lock-

hart River Aerodrome in far north Queensland.

“I’m glad the Labor Government has heeded our calls and fi nally released this funding, months after applications closed,” Mr Coulton said.

“At least now, the successful recipients can get on with the job of improving their airstrips,” he added.

The money provides vital upgrades for essential traffic at these facilities, he said.

“It’s so important for our rural aerodromes to remain operational for the delivery of essential supplies, particularly for access to life-saving medical services like the Royal Flying Doctors,” he added.

“However, I am disappointed

that Bogan Shire Council was the only recipient in NSW.” The snub to western NSW was not for lack of trying, he revealed.

“I know for a fact, that numerous other councils in my electorate applied for this funding and have unfortunately missed out.

“Councils in my electorate have had great success in the past under this program, with the previous round alone delivering more than $700,000 for vital upgrades for remote airstrips in Bourke, Condobolin, Tottenham, Emmdale, Walgett, Lightning Ridge, Collarenebri, Burren Junction, and Carinda,” Mr Coulton concluded.

In local air travel news, Warren Shire Council is currently undertaking an extensive $715,000 upgrade of their airport with funding from the Drought Stimulus Package Funding and Infrastructure Reserve Fund.

Council are planning on applying for the next round of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program for 50 per cent of the funding for two upcoming projects, including an almost $140,000 upgrade to exclusion fencing at the airport, and a $50,000 redevelopment project for the taxi-way.

RAIN AND FLOODS MAKE OUR HOMES A BREEDING GROUND FOR MOZZIES Flood water and pools of stagnant water from recent rain have turned many backyards into the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, that spread human disease, such as Murray Valley encephalitis and Ross River virus.

Any still or stagnant water around the home can encourage mosquitoes to breed and increase the chance of people being bitten.

Tips to minimise the chance of a mosquito breeding ground around the home or school: z Remove all water-holding receptacles from around the yard; z ,i}Õ >À Þ yÕÃ ÕÌ « Ì « > Ì L>ÃiÃÆ z Keep guttering clear; z Mow lawns regularly and clear vegetation areas of moist, tangled undergrowth;

z Make sure openings of septic tanks and water tanks are covered and screened securely.

Important preventative measures include: z Ensuring all doors and windows, V Õ` } Þ ÕÀ Ìi Ì] >Ã yÞ ÃVÀii } good condition; z Protecting your skin from bites by covering up with long sleeves, pants and socks; z Use insect repellents on any exposed skin. (The best repellents contain the chemical ingredients DEET or picaridin).

Most mosquitoes become active around dusk although some species are active also during the day.

The key time to take special care again mosquito bites is just prior to, and for two hours after dusk.

By HARRIET GILMORE WARREN’S most-famous cuppa’ is back again next Thursday, with the Cancer Council’s ‘Biggest Morning Tea’ at Patti Plunkett’s place, raising vital funds for this vital not-for-profit.

This is not her fi rst time however, Mrs Plunkett, has been hosting the annual fundraising event in her garden: “for years!”

Her sister, Mary-Anne Brennan, also assists with the event and said she was very much looking forward to this wonderful lovely initiative next week.

“This year, expect the same delicious morning tea treats, for just a gold coin donation, plus a lucky door prize, raffles, and merchandise, everyone is welcome,” Mrs Brennan enthused.

“We’ll also be offering a morning tea delivery service to business houses across town for a donation, so please reach out to me to arrange,” she added.

Last year, Mrs Plunkett, Mrs Brennan, and the Pal-

liative Care Support Group, raised more than $1400 when over 50 locals attended the morning tea event, as well as their hand-delivered morning tea packs to local businesses throughout town.

Funds raised through the morning teas across the country help to support the Cancer Council’s life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy, and support programs.

Almost one-in-two Australians will have cancer before the age of 85, with around 150,000 Australians diagnosed with cancer each year, and the Cancer Council wants to change that.

The “Biggest Morning Tea” fundraising initiative will help raise vital funds to bring Australia closer to a cancer-free future.

Last year, 25,376 morning tea hosts right across the country raised over $14.6 million for people impacted by cancer. Every single dollar raised makes such a life-changing difference in funding vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services for cancer patients and

The Cancer Council says, for example, $150 provides two people recently-diagnosed with cancer with one-on-one support, connecting them to a trained Cancer Connect volun-

teer, while $500 helps provide training to leaders of cancer support groups where people can meet and share their experiences in an emotionally-supportive environment.

Raising $1000, they say pays

for an analysis of two gene samples for a research project, the Cancer Council said.

Living with Varroa mite, Control Order is lifted IN both good and bad news for bee-keepers across the State, a Biosecurity Control Order in response to the Varroa mite outbreak has been lifted, removing restrictions on the bee industry, including movement restrictions that were previously imposed.

Last year, a plan to eradicate the pest was abandoned, with all levels of government as well as bee-keeping and pollination industry representatives, agreeing to move towards a “transition to management program”, which aims to increase resilience and minimise impacts, now that control options are freely available.

A national education program is being rolled out to train beekeepers and pollination-dependent industries on how to prepare and manage the pest.

Beekeepers are required to inspect their own hives for pests and diseases, as required under the General Biosecurity Duty and the Code of Practice and report any detections of Varroa mite, but all other restrictions have been removed.

NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Chief Plant Protection Officer, Dr. Shane Hetherington said there is no longer a need for Varroa-specific regulation over and above existing bee biosecurity responsibilities.

“This type of regulation is only warranted where there remains a significant risk to production or market failure to NSW beekeepers. We are confident that is no longer the case,” Dr Hetherington said.

“The Commonwealth advises that maintaining notification requirements for Varroa mite in NSW is sufficient to support trade in live bees, therefore, there is no risk of international market failure,” he added.

NSW will still maintain the requirement to notify the presence of Varroa and to control Varroa through the existing provisions of the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015, but will remove other restrictions.

“This includes the zoning and subsequent movement restrictions in full, although beekeepers are still required to be compliant with the Australian Honey Bee Industry Biosecurity Code of Practice (the Code) and the General Biosecurity Duty under the Act which requires beekeepers to prevent, eliminate or minimise risks caused by Varroa,” Dr Hetherington said.

“The continued reporting of results from hive monitoring by beekeepers is key to understanding where the mite is currently active,” Control methods are now freely available across the country, with previous restrictions treatments and treatment times also lifted,” he revealed.

As beekeepers in the state undertake the available free training being offered under the program, there is no risk of production failure within NSW due to a lack of advice on pest management, he said.

“This move is a positive for industry in NSW, as it learns to manage Varroa mite,” he concluded.

Good news Heart-starters; AED grants for for producers, Warren district Telstra delays sports and community clubs 3G closure TELSTRA’S announcement last week that it would be delaying the closure of the 3G network to allow isolated communities and customers more time to switch-over to newer technology, is good news for many district primary producers and others still using the system.

Australia’s largest telco revealed that extending the 3G network closure by two months aims to allow people more time to upgrade their devices.

Telstra stated that they have been communicating the closure of the network for nearly five years, but understand there are a range of reasons why some people haven’t moved away from older devices.

“The 3G network was originally slated to be switched-off at the end of June, but it will now be shut down at the end of August,” a Telstra spokesperson stated.

“The closure of the nation’s 3G network is an industry-wide change, moving people to better connectivity,” they added.

Everyone using devices that rely on 3G for either data, voice or emergency calls will need to make a change to stay connected when it switches-off, the spokesperson stated.

Telstra cited an issue with some older phones that run on 4G, may not be able to contact emergency services once the 3G network is switched-off for the delay.

Some 4G phones do not have an important feature called VoLTE emergency calling. This feature enables Triple Zero calls in Australia to travel over 4G, using its more modern standards. These phones may support 4G or 5G data, but rely on 3G to call emergency services and Triple Zero.

Phones purchased since 2019 (less than four-years-old), are likely to support the VoLTE emergency calling standard, provided it was bought from a reputable Australian retailer.

Telstra customers who are unsure if they will be impacted are encouraged to text “3” to 3498 to fi nd out if their handset needs to be updated.

But it’s not only handsets that will be impact. The 3G shutdown will also affect med-

ical devices and other hardware connected to 3G including EFTPOS terminals, farm machinery, and children’s smartwatches.

NSW Farmers have welcomed Telstra’s decision to delay its 3G network switch-off, as they say thousands of rural Australians remain reliant on 3G services.

NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee Chair, Deb Charlton, said the announcement made by Telstra had come as a relief to many in rural parts of the State, who faced the prospect of being disconnected come Monday, July 1.

“With many farmers often working alone and a long way from help, switching-off the 3G network without proper community engagement and support, would spell disaster for many in the bush,” Mrs Charlton said.

“A huge range of farm machinery, as well as mobile phones, could also stop functioning if not upgraded in time for the network shutdown — leaving farmers without the tools they need to grow food and bringing agricultural operations to a grinding halt,” she added.

With a range of machinery, devices, and landlines potentially affected, Mrs Charlton urged all telecommunications providers to engage communities on the network switchoff to ensure a smooth and safe transition in August this year.

“We welcome Telstra’s efforts to engage and educate the community around the network shutdown, but this needs to be ramped up, and now, to ensure we can transition over safely to the 4G and 5G networks later this year,” Mrs Charlton said.

“Suppliers of farm machinery applications using remote sensing or telemetry technology — including tractors, water monitors and more — also have a role to play in supporting farmers in the transition, so they can ensure their technology can continue to function as it needs to into the future.”

Connectivity is a critical tool , and so telcos shouldn’t spare any time or expense when it comes to keeping rural and regional communities connected and safe moving forward, Mrs Charlton concluded.

THEY literally save lives on an almost weekly basis, with some of Warren district’s sporting and other clubs, recently being funded for their very-own heart defibrillators.

The half-million-dollar State Government scheme aims to provide these essential automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for some of NSW’s most disadvantaged areas.

Local groups to receive the funding include $2800 for Warren Pony Club and $2900 for Warren Golf Club.

Each organisation has received the money to go towards the purchase, installation, and training in how to use a new automated external defibrillator, NSW Minister for Sport, Steve Kamper, said.

“Heart attacks and heart disease do not discriminate, and access to a defibrillator immediately following a cardiac arrest, can mean the difference between life and death,” Mr Kamper said.

“Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program, ensures that our smallest community sport and recreation clubs are equipped to respond to

life-threatening emergencies,” he added.

Co-deputy Director of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Professor Jamie Vandenberg, said that the defibrillators were vital for those suffering sudden heart-attacks.

“Nine out 10 people who have a sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital, won’t survive, but your chances are greatly-increased, if there is a defibrillator close at hand,” Prof Vandenberg said.

“It’s fantastic to see that more sports clubs across NSW, will now have these life-saving devices installed as a result of these grants, every second counts when it comes to surviving a sudden cardiac arrest,” he added.

In their application, Warren Golf Club said: “Warren Golf Club/Squash Club, runs competitions throughout the year, which has many different age groups participating.

“This project will allow timely access to a defibrillator unit within the squash courts area.”

GROW event success, supporting local community

By HARRIET GILMORE ANOTHER successful GROW Warren Expo event was held last week, offering local families a free, fun day-out, while also showcasing the wide range of service and support available to the community.

Facilitated and hosted

by Warren Youth Centre, more than 20 support services and organisation’s stalls fi lled the Youth Centre yard and nearby laneway including Warren Shire Council, TAFE NSW, NSW Health, CatholicCare, Services Australia, Community Transport, Meals on Wheels, Lifeline, Marathon Health, Housing Plus, NSW Fire and Rescue, and Bila Muuji.

The Royal Flying Doctors Service also provided a free barbecue as well as dental checks from their travelling dental clinic. As well as face-painting for the kids and play group, Barnado’s also supplied free coffee, thanks to the Crooked Arrow coffee van.

The day included plenty of fun for the kids including a jumping castle, inflatable archery, activity station from Bunnings, and more.

Warraan Widji Arts provided the entertainment with performances from the Dreaming Drifters rock band, Wayilwan children’s choir, and Wayilwan dance group.

Warren Youth Centre Executive Officer, Kelly Sinclair, said the expo is a fantastic opportunity for participating organisations to showcase their services and provide community education on accessing their support.

“All funding for the expo is thanks to the Department of Communities and Justice Targeted Early Intervention Funding, with the dedicated staff of the Warren Youth Centre organising the event for another successful year,” Kelly said.

Be practical, constructive on conservation: NSW Farmers LAND conservation “doesn’t have to come at the cost of our farm productivity”, the state’s peak farming body has declared, as it warned interest groups to adopt a practical and constructive approach to the environment.

NSW Farmers believe ecological solutions do not have to come at the cost of farm output and food security.

NSW Farmers President, Xavier Martin, said that producers played a key role in en-suring the long-term conservation of the landscape.

Mr Martin said that, as sustainability targets loom ever closer, listening and engaging with the agricultural industry around their knowledge and activities, will be essential to ensuring conservation outcomes can be achieved without a cost to productivity, “Land conservation doesn’t have to come at the cost of our farm productivity,” Mr Martin said.

“Food and fibre are basic human needs, and there are ways for us to conserve the environment, while not just maintaining but increasing our production as farmers,” he added.

He believes that political propaganda is often used to denigrate the conservation efforts of primary producers.

“Interest groups need to be obtaining and using fair and factual information to un-der-

stand our conservation efforts, rather than relying on information that is biased toward certain agendas, if they want to preserve the landscape for centuries to come.

“Our agricultural industry has this information ready and waiting for them, if they just step-up and start being practical and constructive in building solutions that are mutually beneficial, and also sustainable.”

Mr Martin added farmers had strong, practical solutions to offer groups looking to increase biodiversity and the environmental health of the landscape.

“Farmers have to look after the landscape to ensure they can grow and nurture their produce that feeds and clothes the country,” Mr Martin said.

“They have a lot of practical knowledge to offer those wanting to build solutions around natural capital and broader environmental outcomes,” he argued.

Farmers are already doing their bit for net zero, he believes.

“Already, farmers are making significant environment gains in carbon sequestration as well as soil and pasture health that could have learnings for a broad range of in-terest groups seeking to drive biodiversity into the future,” he concluded.

From page 1 Practice Manager, Rebecca Glover, said this means that the Centre still has just under half of the total money raised to purchase further medical equipment for the practice, thanking the community and the WHAC for their continuing support.

“The new equipment brings many positives for our community,” Ms Glover said.

“By keeping our medical equipment up-todate, we are facilitating the growing needs for our patients, and also creating a more functional and effective working environment for our GP’s,” she added.

She revealed that the staff at the medical centre staff feel “incredibly-privileged” at the ongoing support from the local Health Action Committee.

Rod Sandell from the Committed added

that he was very proud of the fundraising efforts and attendance at the event last year, which is helping to support the community.

“The new equipment is a fantastic addition to the Warren medical practice, and so good for the community,” Mr Sandell said.

It’s great to see where the fundraised money actually goes, well done and a big ‘thankyou’ to everyone who supported the event last year,” he added.

The community event featured more than 200 locals and visitors packing-out the Nevertire Hall in September which — as well as raising more than $21,000 for the RFDS Medical Centre — also netted more than $5000 for the continuing restoration of the Nevertire Hall, which suffered extensive damage after a windstorm a few years previously.

The Annual Show

By MICHAEL CAMPBELL ANTICIPATION is rising for the Warren Show, just one week away. I have no sheep or horses to display. I’m not much good at cooking cakes, but I do have a wife. I wonder if she will risk me carrying her in the competition.

The annual show in the Bible was a festival called Passover. A week long celebration that starts with a lamb on a spit. Families would gather for a feast and sleep over. Followed by seven days of holiday, with nothing to do but the preparation of food.

The festival was established

by God, to remember the day

that God spared their homes.

The destroyer passed through Egypt, but was prevented from harming those homes that had the blood of the lamb on the door frames.

It is a festival that teaches us that no one is safe. That the blood of the perfect lamb is the only thing keeping anyone safe from harm, the only thing keeping us alive.

For this reason, the Passover was the perfect time for Jesus to hand Himself in to the authorities. He was the Lamb of God, who had come to take away the sin of the world. He was the friend of sinners, who gave His life to ransom sinners.

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

Volunteer Grants announced THIRTY-ONE volunteer organisations in the Parkes electorate will share in $66,225 under the 2023-24 Volunteer Grants program.

I know many local groups have been struggling during the current cost-of-living crisis as fewer people have the capacity to donate, while their own bills continue to rise.

These grants will help ease some of that pressure and help our community groups to invest in projects that will enable them to continue the great work they do in communities across the Parkes electorate.

Recipients include Dubbo Touch Association Incorporated; Dubbo VRA Rescue NSW Search Dogs; the Coolah District Development Group; the Isolated Children’s Parents’ Association; the Condobolin Picnic Race Club; Can Assist in Nyngan; Trangie Central School P&C Association; Neighbourhood Watch in Warialda and the West Darling

Fishing Club in Menindee.

Visit my website for a full list of recipients.

Funding welcomed for Nyngan airport BOGAN Shire Council has received $116,550 to undertake a lighting upgrade at Nyngan airport through round 10 of the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program.

Just recently I met with the mayor and general manager of Bogan Shire Council, who had been anxiously waiting for this funding so that they can begin upgrading the lighting at Nyngan Airport, to enable planes to safely land at night.

After months of delay, the Labor government has fi nally heeded our calls and released this funding.

While I welcome this announcement, I know numerous other councils in my electorate applied for this funding and have unfortunately missed out.

I’m hopeful that further funding for the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program will be made available in this week’s federal budget.

Calls to scrap Labor’s fresh food tax TIME is now running out to scrap Labor’s fresh food tax, which is due to be implemented on July 1, forcing farmers to pay for the biosecurity risks of

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton pictured with members of the Coolah District Development Group, which received a $2,000 grant. their international importers.

The new tax makes absolutely no sense and it will hurt families and farmers who are already under pressure due to the cost of living crisis.

This new tax will hurt almost all Australians, because farmers will be forced to pass on costs, meaning families will feel more pain at the grocery checkout.

I am standing shoul-

der-to-shoulder with Australian farmers to fi ght Labor’s fresh food tax, and I encourage families and farmers in the Parkes electorate to join the fi ght.

A new petition, Stop the Fresh Food Tax, has been launched by the Coalition to coincide with the National Farmers’ Federation ‘day of action’ to scrap the tax.

Telstra delays 3G shutdown TELSTRA has announced it will extend its 3G closure by two months, until the end of August 2024.

Even though the deadline has been extended, I encourage everyone to act now to ensure you are well prepared for when the network is switched off. For more information, visit Telstra’s website.

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

G’day folks, PARLIAMENT is back in full swing after a long period where it wasn’t sitting. Last week was the fi rst of two successive sitting weeks and, not surprisingly it was a hectic one. The Federal Budget is brought down this week, and the State Budget will be in June, so there will be a lot of attention focused on understanding what the Federal Government is doing with its money or predicting where the State Government’s money will be going. But there is still a lot of other stuff going on in the meantime.

Coercive Control advertising campaign RECENTLY we have seen a lot of news about domestic violence and the impact it is having, particularly the lives lost, which has prompted action at both State and Federal levels.

The week before Parliament returned, I joined my Crossbench colleagues and the NSW Government at the announcement of the launch of an advertising campaign to inform people in NSW about coercive control laws that come into effect on July 1, 2024.

These laws identify a range of behaviours that are intended to control an intimate partner, deny them choices, manipulate, fi nancially abuse, and isolate partners from family and friends and make it clear that such control is not okay and will be illegal from July 1.

Let’s be clear, there is a threshold for this stuff. What these laws are talking about are serious attempts to control another person and restrict their personal freedoms.

There is a high correlation between coercive control, domestic violence, and domestic homicide. This kind of abuse is something that needs to be acted on early before it escalates to something worse.

That is why I believe this is so important.

The day after the coercive control ad campaign announcement, the Federal Government also announced a $925 million Federal commitment for helping people leave abusive relationships. Full details on this announcement can be found at the Prime Minister of Australia’s website.

We do our best work when you’re involved

Virtual Fencing Submissions AS Chair of the Committee on Investment, Industry and Regional Development, I am urging anyone with an interest or stake in the subject of virtual stock fencing, to have their say on the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment (Virtual Stock Fencing) Bill 2024. The deadline for submissions is May 17, so time is running out. Submissions can be as simple as a line or two on what you think should, or should not, happen with this technology.

Connectivity in the bush THERE has been a lot of concern about the plan to turnoff the 3G network, especially in many country areas where 5G coverage is patchy and, in some places, even 4G. While some carriers have already begun shutting down their 3G networks, Telstra has announced it will be extending their closure date to August 31. Make sure to check if your device will be compatible with the changes.

This could be devices that are 3G only, devices that do not support Voice over 4G (VoLTE), or devices that are 4G enabled but hardwired to use 3G for emergency calls.

This will also affect medical devices and other hardware connected to the Telstra 3G network, from EFTPOS terminals to farm machinery.

If you are unsure if your device is impacted, SMS ‘3’ to 3498 (3G XT), and a Telstra checker will respond, confirming what action you need to take.

For other connected devices, please reach out to the supplier or manufacturer for more information.

Still on digital connectivity, the Australian Government has announced an On Farm Connectivity initiative that provides eligible Equipment Suppliers with up to $30,000 rebate for selling digital farming technology to eligible Primary Producers to help improve their connectivity and productivity.

Applications are open until Friday, May 31. The program is part of the Better Connectivity for Rural and Regional Australia Plan and assists primary producers in taking advantage of digital agribusiness solutions to boost productivity and improve safety.

Regional Media THE news of the closure of the “Barrier Truth” back in April was a bit of a shock, but hardly a surprise to many, because the newspaper, like many others across the State, had been struggling for some time because of a downturn in advertising revenue.

While there is some hope

that the paper might be revived by another local media outlet, it is still a sign that there are problems with sustaining the press out in the bush.

This poses a major problem because regional media is a vital part of country life in a way that is very different to media in the cities. While many think that digital communication is all pervasive, in many regional areas, connectivity, and tradition, means that many people still get a lot of important information from print and local radio. The local newspaper or radio station is also often the hub of a local town, run by small business owners who are well known in their towns and often wear several different hats.

But there are so many signs that regional media is struggling. Many outlets have closed in recent years, and others have told me that they are fi nding it hard to keep afloat due to a downturn in advertising revenue.

Last week, I alerted Parliament to the problem, fi rstly by asking the Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Minister for Emergency Services, and Minister for Youth Justice, Jihad Dib, a question about regional media during Question Time.

I asked what the Government was doing to protect this vital part of bush communities. He answered that he had already met with people from regional media and outlined some of the things the Government is doing, detailing some of the funding provided to regional newspapers.

I also introduced a Notice of Motion asking that Parliament: (1) Acknowledges the imperative role that regional media plays in the bush.

(2) Understands that poor connectivity and the digital divide makes print and radio media a key source of important information.

(3) Notes that without proper support and government paying its way for advertising, viability in regional media is a real problem.

(4) Urges the Government and its agencies to support regional media through paid advertising rather than expecting that service for free.

This is an issue that I will continue to pursue.

Housing Crisis LAST week, I delivered a Private Members Statement on the housing crisis in Barwon.

In it, I talked about how housing is a basic human need, one that sees to some of the basics of physical comfort but also makes it possible for us to feel safe, to feel loved, accepted and have self-esteem.

Barwon, like most other parts of NSW, and Australia, has a critical shortage of

housing. The lack of housing means that a significant portion of the population is disadvantaged, which has negative effects, social and economic, for communities as a whole.

When large numbers of people in a community don’t have a comfortable, affordable, place to eat, relax, sleep and shelter from the elements, it can badly impact physical and mental health, lowering morale, sapping motivation, causing a rise in social complications.

A lack of crisis housing to support people leaving abusive relationships is having an impact on rates of domestic violence.

Without adequate housing for a town’s workforce, particularly essential service workers and seasonal workers, it can cause a disruption to the proper functioning of a town, resulting in economic disruption and population decline.

There are solutions at hand.

In my statement I talked about pre-approved (pattern planning) modular, and panelised homes (built from interlocking panels).

I have spoken to people who can build homes from locally made panels, cheaper and faster, with benefits for the local community, bringing in money and providing training and employment for young people.

We need to be thinking more creatively about how to solve this crisis.

Key Worker Housing for Broken Hill LAST week in Parliament, the Health Minister Ryan Park, the Minister for Western NSW and Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty, and the NSW Premier, Chris Minns announced details of a $45.3 million plan to roll-out accommodation for health workers across NSW. Seven towns have been selected based on their critical shortage of key worker housing, among them Broken Hill, which will receive housing for up to 20 people.

The portable homes are designed as easily transported and installed and are high-quality and very comfortable accommodation. The plan is to house workers in these homes temporarily, until more permanent accommodation can be found.

This housing is a good start towards providing key workers with adequate amounts of comfortable accommodation in Barwon. There is still much more to do, and I will continue talking with the government about more solutions to the ongoing housing crisis in the electorate.

Shooting Event SHOOTING is a great sport that really brings people together. Part of my role as an MP representing regional NSW, is to make sure that farmers, target shooters, collectors, and hunters get treated

fairly when it comes to lawful firearms possession and use.

One of the best ways to represent shooting in a positive light, is to show them how enjoyable shooting can be in a safe, secure, environment like a shooting range. Last week Phil Donato and I, co-convenors of the Parliamentary Friends of Shooting and Outdoor Recreation, hosted a group of MPs and parliamentary staff for a great, fun day at the Sydney International Shooting Centre, to give them a better idea of what a good, safe, enjoyable sport shooting can be.

The event was supported

by SIFA — Shooting Industry Foundation of Australia — and Beretta Australia plus NIOA and Winchester sent representatives to support the day and answer questions.

Federal Member for Hunter, Dan Repacholi, took time out of his very busy parliamentary and Olympic schedule to come along, as did Gold medallist Olympian, Suzy Balogh.

We had about 30 people in total from the Parliament, many of whom had never used a fi rearm before. Everyone had a great time trying pistol and rifle shooting. Originally about 50 people had accepted the invitation, but quite a few had to go to a funeral.

Busting through misinformation and fear-based rhetoric about fi rearms and shooting is important in showing people that it is a safe, fun sport for anyone over the age of 12 to get involved. Giving the people who make laws an opportunity to see how it all works is vital in good decisions and laws.

Cleaners looking for a better deal

CLEANERS are some of the hardest-working people, but when it comes to pay and conditions, that hard work is often not recognised, and they get a raw deal in terms of pay and conditions.

In NSW, thanks to the outsourcing of cleaning services for schools, police stations and other state institutions 30 years ago, many cleaners earn little more than the minimum wage and are often expected to work under high-pressure in some dangerous situations.

Imagine being allowed only 17 seconds to clean each toilet?

That was the demand placed on some school cleaners.

On a drizzly Saturday last week, I went to Parramatta to stand with cleaners from Sydney and regional NSW (some had boarded buses at 3am to be there) to show my support for the United Workers Union campaigning for a better deal.

The cleaners were not alone.

Sport Cobar and Coolah in ding-dog top-of-the-table clash for Cup!

By BRYSON LUFF AFTER just three rounds, only the Cobar Roosters and the Coolah ‘Roos remain unbeaten in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League First Grade competition.

As fate would have it, these two sides will be clashing this Saturday in what will be a gigantic Boronia Cup game at Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval.

In their game, the Roosters saw-off the Baradine Magpies 34-12 at Cobar last Saturday, with their dynamic Co-coach, Loma Atuau, crossing for two of his team's seven tries in what was another impressive performance by the red, white, and blues.

Meanwhile at Coolah, the resurgent ‘Roos continued their notable return to the Castlereagh scene with a strong 48-10 defeat of the Coonabarabran Unicorns.

Their League Tag team, the Flyers, also retained their unbeaten status when they recorded an emphatic 64-0 win over the Unicorns.

In the other First Grade games, the Narromine Jets were too strong for Coonamble, recording a large 56-16 win over the Bears at Coonamble.

The Jet’s five-eight, and last season’s Castlereagh League Player of the Year, Doug Potter, scored 24 of his side’s 56 points, crossing for three tries and slotting six goals in a fi ne individual performance.

The remaining game saw the Gilgandra Panthers getup for their first win of the season, just getting the job

done against the visiting Gulgong Terriers.

In what was an absorbing and exciting fi nish to a close game, the Panthers were called on to grimly defend a slender 22-20 lead for the final 15 minutes. This they did, despite the Terriers throwing plenty at them in those final stages of a game that could have easily gone either way.

Quite obviously the Match of the Round this Saturday will be the Boronia Cup game at Cobar between the Roosters and the ‘Roos, and what a match it promises to be, with both outfits big in size and mobility across the park and chock full of confidence.

Indeed, it will be a real test for the Coolah club, in terms of how they travel and how they perform against a side that is warming as the early season favourite to collect the 2024 premiership.

Should make for interesting viewing; a huge crowd is expected to take in the action!

Apart from the game at Cobar, there will be some other enthralling match-ups around the Castlereagh area with the Baradine Magpies playing the Gilgandra Panthers for the Campbell-Noonan Cup at Baradine.

A highlight of the day will be a commemoration of the life of Ken Campbell who recently passed away.

Ken was a legendary Baradine player who was a member of the famous 1974 Western Division side that won the Amco Cup and was well-respected both on-and-off the

field as a tough competitor and great bloke.

The Campbell-Noonan Cup has been played for between the Baradine and Gilgandra clubs for a number of years now and is partly named after Ken, the other half of the name honouring Gilgandra great, “Buzz” Noonan, who incidentally is Ken’s brother-in-law — the two had many monumental battles on the field in years gone by!

At Gulgong, the Terriers will be hoping to return to the winning list against the visiting Narromine Jets, as will the Coonabarabran Unicorns when they travel to Coonamble to try and down the Bears at Bearstone Park.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Mudgee on Sunday, May 12 WITH the task getting harder at every start, Elson Boy keeps responding to the challenge and the outstanding frontrunner made it four successive wins when taking out the 1400 metres Gooree Cup on Sunday at Mudgee.

Unplaced at the fi rst nine starts the four-year-old gelding has undergone an amazing transformation under Dubbo trainer Dar Lunn.

Owned by Guy Mitchell from Binnaway and Rob Pratten from Dubbo, Elson Boy has now won seven races and the recent winning sequence has included a Benchmark 58 Handicap at Dubbo, the $150,000 WRA Country Championship Qualifier at Coonamble, the Diggers Cup at Narromine and the Gooree Cup.

Powerful wins for the Pumas and Pumarettes against a formidable Bre/Bourke

By HARRY GAYNOR THE Warren Rugby Club hosted the fi rst home game of the 2024 season at Victoria Oval on Saturday afternoon, as the mighty Pumas and Pumarettes took on the Bourke/Brewarrina Barbarians for round two.

Substantial rainfall across the previous 24 hours provided a soggy track which would test the ball handling skills for all three teams.

The rain seemed to hold off and disappear as the Pumarettes ran on fi rst, willing to make up for a loss last week by showing up with a full bench of reserves. With a video camera present and even Rugby Tri-Tag Ambassador/ NRL Legend Mark Gasnier watching on, the ladies certainly came out with their game faces on.

First points were hard earnt against the Bourke Ewes, with both sides adjusting to the muddy conditions and substituting the passing game for direct running tactics. The return of Pip Storer to the team

saw some brilliant dashes up the middle of the field, supported similarly by some committed running off the ruck from Grace Bestmann and Annabelle Quigley.

Repeated sets close to the try-line eventually saw Storer run a beautiful cut-back play to score fi rst points. She was able to mirror the same capitalization in the second quarter after some similar heartened running from the middle of the pack.

Bourke closed out the half with five minutes of torrential yet impressive kicking, pressuring the Warren fullbacks into repeated line drop-outs, yet they were just able to defend their line.

Pip Storer opened the second half with yet another try under the sticks, and the Pumarettes were well and truly on top.

Debutant Harriet Shuttleworth closed out the game with a wonderful length of the field run to nearly score until being chased down just before the line, earning herself three

points for the game, with two going to Pip Storer and one point to Alison Ruskin-Rowe.

The Pumarettes securing a decisive win at the full time whistle, 20 points to nil.

The men’s side were eager to defend their potential credibility as Premiership frontrunners after last week’s win over Walgett. But the Barbarians were brimming with confidence as well, with a very sizeable forward pack and back line that just prevailed over Nyngan last week.

From the kick-off it was evident that Bourke/Bre were willing to pressure every aspect of the Pumas’ attack, with a strong tackling game making it difficult to reach any forward advantage. Some loose play and luck of the bounce saw the Barbarian’s winger collect a loose kick to score fi rst points in the corner.

Warren sought to gain territory in return with the strong kicking game of fullback Hagan Size, and successive scrums near the line saw the

opportunity for flanker Harry Goddard to pick a blind-side gap and return the scores level.

After his hat-trick in second grade last week, Jason McCarthy was able to then go over in the corner after the backline pulled up some beautiful ball movement across the field, but the Barbarians were able to match this with some crafty backline moves to level the scores with another try just before half time.

The Barbarians kept up the crunching defence as part of their plan to deter the Warren forwards in the second half, with numerous injuries starting to tally up for the Pumas pack. Though the homeside persisted with some great backline moves and eventually Hagan Size was able to score the fi rst of three tries for himself.

Some snoozing on the blind side became the weak spot for the Barbarians as the Pumas eventually sneaked through to an 18 point lead.

The tensions between both teams were not suppressed

though, with the rising plane of aggression leading to some marginal tackling tactics and even more questionable policing by the referee, yet the game continued to flow with some very sneaky running down the blind-side from Tom Storer setting up Mac Symons for another try that would seal the win.

The Pumas came out victorious 46-15, wearing a lot of bruises and sore shoulders from the relentless barrage of Barbarian defence but hanging their heads high with some professional ball play and most importantly a robust scrum game.

The Pumas travel to Cobar this weekend to compete against the Cobar Camels for round three, before a bye the following weekend for the Warren Show.

Off the field, Warren Rugby Club’s social calendar is beginning to fi ll, with Ladies Day locked in for the fi rst weekend in June, and tickets selling fast for the 70th anniversary ball later in the month.

tine course with all the locals paired-up with at least one professional for the day.

David Crawford and Adam Henwood were joint winners of the professional competition, with rounds of one-under 69.

In the amateurs, there was a scratch event for those who play off nine and below, and a Stableford event for those who are above 10.

Former local, BillyBrigden was the scratch winner, followed by Michael Woods Jr of Dubbo, and Warren player Jonno Connelly in third.

In the Stableford event, Blaine Dacy was the winner on 41 Stableford points, followed

by Matt Murphy (on a countback) from Mick Connelly, who took-out third place, with both on 38 Stableford points.

Sandy Moore was the ladies winner (on a count-back) from Rhonda Dacy, both on 34 points.

Judy Ridley was the ladies ‘nearest-the-pin’ (NTP) winner, with Michael Wood Jr and Ian Mckay taking-out the mens’ NTP. Long Drive in the ladies went to Didi Simmons, while Jonno Connelly took-out the mens.

“The days success has to be attributed to the amazing business community of Warren who sponsored this event,” Amanda enthused.

“It was amazing to see the town get behind the Golf Club, and enable us to showcase not just the Golf Club but the whole town,” she said.

She also acknowledged the lady golfers and Warren Lawn Bowlers, who came and put on a barbecue breakfast and amazing all-day grazing lunch option.

“Lyn Rawlinson, Christine Tilley, and Alison Payne, did a great job in getting our golfers out on the course and doing to results.

“It was a case of ‘many

hands make light work’. and all the committee was on hand over the last week to make sure it all ran smoothly,” Amanda added She described the course as being in the best condition it has appeared at least since before the flood and drought events. This was due to the hard-work of Club volunteers who gave so many hours of their time to make sure it was ready for play.

Greg Kentwell, Brian Robertson, Malcom Stephens, Doc Wilson, Robert Clarke, and all the members who have “adopted a hole” were also recognised by Club Captain, James Taylor, during the presentation ceremony as well as by the PGA Tour Coordinator, Peter Welden and the PGA’s David Crawford.

Former local, Dave Saunders, now living Sydney as part of the professional tour, was pleased to present Mr Taylor with a commemorative token on behalf of the PGA Legends Tour for hosting the event.

Feedback from many of the pros on the tour was overwhelmingly positive.

“It was a great experience,” Joint Winner, David Crawford, said.

Overall, the Club and the area was absolutely fantastic, he added.

The sand greens also proved a challenge for many of the pros.

“It’s a long time ago since I played sand greens; I thought I might have lost the touch,” Mr Crawford said.

“But as soon as I got back onto them, it was quite easy to bring back the memories and play them how they’re supposed to be played, it’s certainly a different golf course to some of the other golf courses that we tend to play on this tour,” he concluded.
