Local ladies, Erica and Tessa, showcase at The WAM gallery

Tune in, as new Tiger Bay audio guide, now goes live!

By HARRIET GILMORE

TWO local young ladies, are the latest artists to exhibit at The Warren Museum and Art Gallery (The WAM). Erica Arthur from Eck Effects Prints, together with Tessa Van Lubeck, have a range of works on display in the gallery for the month. Ms Arthur, who has previously exhibited at The WAM, said she was pleased to have her creations on display alongside Ms Van Lubeck, who is exhibiting at for the ﬁ rst time. Ms Arthur’s works consist mostly of native birds, painted with watercolour, which she said is due to her love of the outdoors. “I’ve always found it grounding being outside, enjoying nature’s never-ending goodness,” Ms Arthur said. “The bird life we have here in Warren is always teeming, especially with our ﬂourishing wetlands, creeks, Macquarie River, and Macquarie Marshes,” she added. Ms Arthur, said in her artist statement on the exhibition: “Fairy wrens are never far away, busy working in the garden, or having their little meetings. Continued page 9

A NEW self-guided walking audio tour of the Tiger Bay Wetlands is now live, with the aim of showcasing this natural wonder on Warren’s doorstep, while also boosting visitor numbers to the region. Created by RiverSmart Australia — the group who manages the Windows on the Wetlands Centre and nearby Tiger Bay Wetlands — the innovative application was launched last week with a special afternoon tea and guided tour of the Wetlands by its creators and renowned sound artist, Kim Goldsmith. The new guide is hosted on the international tour app, izi.TRAVEL, and includes 10 GPS-initiated stops around the Tiger Bay Wetland walk, with information provided on the sights, sounds, cultural information, history and more, that travellers can experience during their visit. Chair of RiverSmart Australia, Kate Mildner said she was very excited to be launching the guide which offers visitors a multi-layered experience of this natural wonder.

From page 1 “So, not just what you might be able to see, but also what you may not be able to see depending on the season, what [animals, birds] visits here, what you can hear — especially what you can hear, which is why Kim’s [Goldsmith] expertise has been so invaluable,” she added. The app will offer a comprehensive and multi-layered understanding of this unique conservation site, she explained. “The idea is for people to really understand, how important these biodiversity hot-spots are. “If they experience it on a level, that’s not just about the enjoyment, but if they have a a little more understanding about the environment, they may also then have a think about how to look after it a little bit more,” she believes. The Wetlands, she argues, is a very special location with outstanding environmental qualities. “Tiger Bay is a really important site. “It was developed in 1988, originally to encourage people to understand what they might see at the Macquarie Marshes” Ms Mildner said. The new app will only add to the tourism potential of the Wetlands, and each individual’s understanding of their special place in the local ecology. “Once people experience that, they may think it’s worthwhile staying in Warren and making the trip out to the Marshes. “Which is really valuable, and we think this new audio walk will help people to experience the area on a much deeper level.” Ms Mildner also acknowledged, not only Ms Goldsmith’s contribution to Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy.

helping to create the guide, but also a host of other contributors for their assistance on the content. These, she said, included Warraan Widji for the acknowledgment of country; Warren Library for a range of historical photos included on the app; Mike Flemming, a bird expert who offered succinct information about the variety of birds in the Wetlands, what they eat and the habitats they require; NSW Fisheries; and volunteer Jim Harvey, who not only provided very helpful feedback on the app, but also does a “fantastic job” cleaning Tiger Bay and the gardens at the Wow Centre. During her address at the launch, Ms Mildner also expressed her excitement at the new café, Crooked Arrow, now open at the Wow Centre. She referenced the brand refresh that RiverSmart Australia had recently undergone, which included a new logo, website, and social media accounts. Ms Mildner also said she was also looking forward to the upgraded and renewed signage throughout Tiger Bay, which Warren Shire Council recently secured funding for. Sound artist, Kim Goldsmith, also said that she was thrilled to be a part of the project, believing the new guide now had the potential to add Warren to the international map. “The whole volunteer RiverSmart Committee needs to be commended for their work,” Ms Goldsmith said. “It’s something really special, and we don’t have any other facilities like this in this part of the central west,” she added. She said that the Wetlands are the perfect introduction for visitors to the Macquarie Marshes.

“The Marshes are on the doorstep, but Tiger Bay really gives a little taste of the marshes, and potentially has the ability to draw international visitors to this region,” Ms Goldsmith said at the launch. “To have an education facility here to provide that background information for people to be able to really appreciate what it is they are experiencing,” she added. The new app, she explained, will only add to that enjoyment in so many ways. “It’s not just a matter of what they’re seeing, it’s what they’re feeling, it’s what they’re hearing, it’s what they’re understanding. “It’s a whole-of-body sensory experience, to be able to walk through these environments,” she explained. The project, she added, has been one of the highlights of her working career. “It’s been exciting for me to be involved… with a love of sound and the natural environment, to be able to develop an audio walk that incorporates sounds of the wetlands; quite a lot of the sounds you hear on the audio walk, are actually recorded here. “I love being able to bring to the surface an experience of the Wetland you may not experience with the naked ear or eye.” Ms Goldsmith recorded much of the sounds on the audio guide herself over the past few years, as well as the voice over describing the content. As well as being hosted on the international app, izi.TRAVEL, travellers can access it on their phone browser and a slimmed-down version of the information on a pamphlet and the RiverSmart website.

Parkes electorate is set to get even bigger, with proposed AEC changes

The new Parkes electorate is set to include Parkes, Forbes and Bland shires. PHOTO: AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION. THE Parkes Federal Electorate will once again grow in size with the addition of three new local government areas — while losing the council area of the current sitting member, Mark Coulton’s hometown— under a proposed redistribution for NSW. The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) an-

nounced last week its 2024 redistribution proposal for the State, which would lead to the Division of Parkes growing to include the Bland, Forbes, and Parkes shire councils, while losing the remainder of the Gwydir Shire to the Division of New England. Retiring Federal Member Mark Coulton, who lives in

Gwydir Shire, said the changes aren’t too unexpected. “Overall, the proposed redistribution is not a bad result for the electorate of Parkes — we’re gaining some strong towns in Parkes, Forbes and West Wyalong — —which I’m sure will only add to this great electorate,” Mr Coulton said. “I am sorry to see the upper-half of the Gwydir Shire, which includes my hometown of Warialda, move to the New England electorate,” he added. This will mean, he said, that once he retires at the next election, he will no longer live in the Parkes electorate, something he described as “personally disappointing”. “The biggest challenge for whoever is the next Member for Parkes, will be the increase in geographical size of the Parkes electorate. “Each time there has been a boundary change, the Parkes electorate has grown, and this time is no different,” Mr Coulton observed. The electorate currently

covers a geographical area of 393,413 square kilometres — already well-and-truly the largest in NSW, covering nearly 50 per cent of the State. “These changes will see it grow even further to approximately 406,755 square kilometres. “Which will make it more difficult to travel throughout the electorate on a regular basis, meaning more nights away from home for the next Member.” Mr Coulton said the release of the proposed redistribution, will enable The Nationals in the Parkes electorate to set a date for preselection. “The party will now geton with the job of selecting a candidate to contest the Division of Parkes at the next election,” Mr Coulton said. “I look forward to working with whoever is preselected over the coming months to help them get to know this wonderful electorate.” The redistribution will see the number of members in the House of Representatives decrease from 47 to 46 in

NSW, with the abolishment of the Division of North Sydney. This means the boundaries of each Federal electoral division in the State had to be altered to accommodate this change. The changes to the Parkes electorate have been made to accommodate low or negative projected growth in elector numbers. Enrolment in the current Division of Parkes on Monday April 10, 2028 is projected to be 109,528 electors, which is less than the minimum number of projected electors required by the Electoral Act. The Division of Parkes therefore had to gain at least 15,557 electors, or up to 24,629 electors, for it to fall within the permissible range for the maximum and minimum number of electors in an electoral division at the projection time. The new division will see a projected enrolment as at Monday April 10, 2028, of 128,178 people.

Fourth man charged after investigation into firearms theft in Warren and Dubbo A FOURTH man was charged recently following an investigation into break-and-enters in Warren and Dubbo last year. The thefts included a break in at about 4.10am on Sunday, April 23, 2023, at a property on the Newell Highway, Dubbo. Firearms and a Hilux towing a trailer holding an ATV were allegedly stolen. In another incident, between 12.15am and 3am on Wednesday May 3, 2023, a property on the Oxley Highway, Warren, was broken into and ﬁ rearms were allegedly stolen. In April 2023, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District and the Rural Crime Prevention Team, established Strike Force Sako to investigate the incidents. Three men — aged 23, 24,

and 28 — have already been charged and remain before the courts. Following further inquiries, at about 7.30am last Thursday, June 13 officers attended a home on Trelanvean Street, Dubbo and conducted a Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) search. A 31-year-old man was subsequently arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station. He was charged with two counts of break-and-enter house, steal value less than $60,000; six counts of steal fi rearm or imitation fi rearm; and possess shortened fi rearm (not pistol), without authority. He was refused bail and then appeared at Dubbo Local Court on the same day. Investigations under Strike Force Sako, are continuing.

Govt’s $300 million funds for affected Murray Darling Basin communities By HARRIET GILMORE A $300 MILLION support package for communities that are likely to be impacted by the Murray Darling Basin Plan, was announced last week by the Federal Government. Minister for the Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek confirmed the Government is committed to delivering the Plan in full. This will include recovering 450 gigalitres of water for the environment, something she admits will have negative social and economic impacts on both farmers and the bush towns that support them. “That’s why we’re providing a record $300 million support package for Basin communities — before water recovery impacts are felt — supporting jobs and economies,” Ms Plibersek said. “It will ensure regional communities are as strong as possible, as the Basin Plan is rolledout in full,” she added. The government plans to secure the additional water through voluntary water purchases, or ‘buy backs’ as they are commonly referred. The new support package announced last week under the Sustainable Communities Program, will offer funds for investments that create and support local jobs and businesses

in communities impacted by the water buy-backs Investments may include kick-starting or expanding industries in regional communities which are less water-dependent, new community infrastructure projects, workforce development, and community support services. The Government said the support program has been informed by community feedback, work with state and territory governments, lessons from previous water recovery programs, and the latest research. The Sustainable Communities Program is the second of three new Government initiatives to deliver the Basin Plan in full. The ﬁ rst, the Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program, was launched in January — enabling Basin states to propose water saving projects for funding. The third, the Voluntary Water Purchase Program, will kick-off later this year when the Commonwealth begins purchasing water entitlements from willing sellers. “In the meantime, our Government continues to explore and prioritise all viable water recovery options to lessen the impact on communities and the irrigation sector,” Ms Plibersek concluded.

Beauty and Beast”, begin nationwide rally, raising money for cancer research By HARRIET GILMORE

WARREN locals, Rachel Maclean and Kevin Dwyer — codenamed “Beauty and the Beast” have kicked-off their epic adventure across Australia raising much needed funds for cancer research as part of the aptly-named ‘Sh!$box Rally’. The pair left Melbourne last week, and will travel with more than 220 other ‘sh!$box’ cars, that must be valued at less than $1500, on a six-day trek up through the middle of Australia to Alice Springs. The epic road trip includes stops in Hay, Silverton, Tibooburra, Windorah, Bedourie, and Tobermorey before ﬁ nishing in the red centre. This is Rachel’s second year on the rally, and Kevin’s ﬁ rst, with the duo already having raised more than $8500, while the winter rally as a whole has already raised more than $2.2 million.

Warren dancers wow, at Dubbo Eisteddfod

FAITH MATTERS

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Find out what it means to Thee

Local girl makes good, Holly Freeth from the Warren studio, Dance Experience.

By SIMON CANT FOR reasons I can’t quite explain, I’ve been meditating lately on a passage known as “The wife of noble character.” Proverbs 31: 10-31 describes a woman: hardworking, enterprising, prosperous and caring, and outlines a beauty beyond outward appearance. I love this line: “She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future.” * At fi rst glance, the whole passage sets a pattern for women to follow, but as I have dwelt on it, I’ve realised just how countercultural these writings would have been in 960 BC! In a setting that regarded women as chattels: a possession or an ornament, the Bible celebrates a woman fulfi lling all she is capable of being. It tells husbands to lift their wife up and to treasure her as his greatest asset. In summary: women - be all you were born to be. Men - treasure and uphold the women in your life. It will do you good. The word of God continues to be countercultural, in a world where relationships and life itself are increasingly regarded as a commodity of convenience. Throughout the Bible, the immense value of every human being, from conception to fi nal breath is reinforced. This unique worth is demonstrated by God Himself, who stopped at nothing to bring His people back into relationship with Him. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 *New Living Translation.

NSW Health acknowledges the Stolen Generations, with Warren MPS plaque By HARRIET GILMORE A PLAQUE acknowledging the grief and suffering NSW Health, its hospitals, and health facilities caused to members and survivors of the Stolen Generations, was recently installed at the Warren Multipurpose Service (MPS), as well as all other health facilities across the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD). The plaque contains an inscription of the NSW Health Apology that was made by Secretary Susan Pearce (AM) in 2022, to recognise the deep trauma caused by removing Aboriginal children from their families and communities. It also recognised the removal of children often took place in hospitals or other health institutions. Warren is among 45 other hospitals, health facilities, community health centres and offices across the western district to have the apology plaques installed over the last few weeks, with a special ceremony taking place at the Warren MPS in early June. Warren Health Service Manager, Lynette Harris, said it was an incredibly important event. “Together with our community we installed the NSW

Health Apology to the Stolen Generations plaque on June 5, to formally acknowledge and pay our respects to those who have been impacted but, importantly, to also offer that apology on Country,” Ms Harris said. “We know the grief and hurt caused through the Stolen Generations continues to affect the health and wellbeing of many Aboriginal people in our community, but also their ability to trust that places of healthcare are also places of safety,” she added.

She believes that this event will have important symbolic power, moving forward. “So, this was an incredibly important event for our health service, our staff and our community, in ensuring our facility is a culturally-safe place, where all people feel respected and cared for and to show our commitment to making positive change. “We appreciate everyone in our community who was able to attend and join us for such a signiﬁcant moment, and we will continue our efforts to im-

prove meaningful health outcomes for all Aboriginal people,” Ms Harris said. WNSWLHD Chief Executive, Mark Spittal, said health services should be places of comfort and healing, where all people feel safe, respected and cared for. “Through our services and ongoing commitment to improvements, including those identiﬁed in our own Reconciliation Action Plan, we aim to achieve this for Aboriginal people,” Mr Spittal said. “We are supporting the

installation of the apology plaques across every health service in our district because we aspire to be an organisation that is accountable to our Aboriginal community, is an active partner in reconciliation and which strives to do better for Aboriginal people at every level of our organisation,” he added. WNSWLHD Executive Director of Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing, Tony Martin, said the installation of the apology plaques is another important step to take as the district maintains its focus on addressing the needs and improving health outcomes of Aboriginal people. “The damage to the Stolen Generations is reﬂected in the health and wellbeing of many Aboriginal people. In some cases, it resulted in an ongoing mistrust of health services, which continues to have an impact on people in our district today,” Mr Martin said. “Our journey towards reconciliation is a long-term commitment and these events are an opportunity for communities to come together to acknowledge the role of health services in the Stolen Generations and, through truth-telling, continue taking steps to create meaningful change,” he concluded.

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

Changes to the Parkes electorate ON Friday, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), released its 2024 redistribution proposal for NSW which will see the Division of Parkes grow to include the Bland, Forbes, and Parkes, shire councils, while losing the remainder of the Gwydir Shire to the Division of New England. Overall, this isn’t a bad result for the Parkes electorate — we’re gaining some strong towns in Parkes, Forbes, and West Wyalong. I am sorry to see the upper half of the Gwydir Shire, which includes my hometown of Warialda, move to the New England electorate. That means that, once I retire at the next election, I will no longer live in the Parkes electorate which is personally disappointing, having represented

community. The National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG) Dubbo branch was also awarded a $1100 grant which they will use to train more counsellors to provide support for people dealing with loss and grief. It was lovely to catch up with CEO Trudy Hanson, who told me there has been a massive uptick in the number of people wanting to be counsellors now that it can be done remotely. Orana Physical Culture Club also received a $1000 grant and it was great to drop-in on one of their practices, to hear how this funding will be used for staff training and to purchase new equipment.

this electorate for so long and been so invested in it. The biggest challenge for whoever is the next Member for Parkes, will be the increase in geographical size of the Parkes electorate – from 393,413 square kilometres to approximately 406,755 square kilometres. The electorate was already well-and-truly the biggest in the State, and this increase will make it even more difficult to get to each town regularly.

Catching-up with grant recipients LAST week in Dubbo, I had the opportunity to catch-up with three of the recipients of the Australian Government’s 2023/24 Volunteer Grants program. I caught-up with members of ORISCON, which is a vibrant cultural community group dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich tapestry of Indian sub-continental heritage in Dubbo. They received a $4000 grant which will be used to purchase a trailer to assist with event set-up as they put on multiple events a year (which I often attend) to bring people together and celebrate their culture with the wider

Murray-Darling Basin compensation package THE Labor Government last week announced a $300 million compensation package for Murray-Darling Basin communities impacted by water buybacks. While I generally welcome any funding for my electorate, any compensation would be minor compared to the impact that taking water out of production would have on our Basin communities. Water is a permanent stimulus that provides jobs and

The Labor Government needs to stop using the people of my electorate as bargaining chips to get votes in inner-city seats. We’re constantly seeing the Government pandering to peo-

ple in the inner-city, damaging the economy and amenity of electorates like mine for not a lot of beneﬁt when it comes down to it. The Murray-Darling Basin is in ephemeral system, and the idea that we can control it from a room in Canberra, is nonsense.

Get your free flu shot, elderly are advised, as case no’s surge PEOPLE aged 65 and older are again being urged to book in now for their free flu vaccine, as the virus continues to surge across the State. NSW Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant said the latest NSW Health respiratory surveillance report shows in the week ending Saturday, June 8, there was an increase of more than 25 per cent in people diagnosed with influenza compared with the previous week. Only just more than half (52.4 per cent) of people aged 65 or older had received the flu vaccine as at Thursday, June 13, she revealed. “Flu is rapidly increasing across the State. In the past week alone, presentations to our emergency departments increased by almost 22 per cent for people with influenza-like illness,” Dr Chant said. “We are expecting the flu season will be around for several weeks to come, so now is the time to book in for your free flu vaccine to get the vital protec-

tion you need,” she added. With influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) all circulating in the community, we continue to remind the community to avoid visiting high-risk settings including hospitals and aged care facilities if they are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness. “This is particularly important for people aged 65 and over who are at higher risk of severe illness from influenza. “Unfortunately, our vaccination rates for this group, still aren’t where we need them to be.” Vaccination is the best protection against infection and severe disease,” Dr Chant said. The influenza vaccine is free and readily available for those at higher risk of severe illness from influenza. It is available through GPs for any age group, as well as through pharmacies for everyone aged five years and over.

Local ladies, Erica and Tessa, showcase at The WAM gallery From page 1 “I also like to think when I spot a fairy wren or willy wagtail nearby it’s my beloved Pop popping-in to say ‘hello’ or check on me, as he was a garden guru and nature warrior spending most of his days outside. “I have found this common ground with many — that a loved one passed, is associated with certain bird varieties dancing in the garden or spotted on a nature walk,” her statement ended. Also included in this series on display at The WAM, is a Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteer cradling a koala. Ms Arthur said of this work that she was inspired by the devastating “Black Summer” of 2019/2020. “Also included in this series, is ‘Bushfires 2019’, a terribly-devastating time, but simultaneously uplifting and heart-warming, seeing all those brave, everyday, heroes helping each other and our precious wildlife.” Ms Van Lubeck said she was happy as, to have

her art on exhibit at The WAM for the ﬁ rst time. “I’m excited to have my work in the beautiful museum/gallery, with my old friend Erica,” Ms Van Lubeck said. “With the exception of a couple of group shows, I’ve not exhibited much outside of university exhibitions, so it was nice to have the opportunity,” she added. Ms Van Lubeck has included artist notes among her works at The WAM, including one titled “Drip”, which she said explores the concept of drought, while another work, titled “Inferno” is a visual interpretation of Dante’s inferno, and “Basin” which was inspired by Brett Whiteley’s bathroom series. “We are grateful for Jude Fleming for helping us set-up, and encourage anyone to get down to the WAM and have a look around,” Ms Van Lubeck. Erica Arthur and Tessa Van Lubeck’s exhibition will be on display for the rest of the month, with entry to the art gallery free.

Bushfire resilience work on Newell Hwy between Gilgandra, Narrabri BUSHFIRE corridor resilience project works are underway on the Newell Highway, between Gilgandra and Narrabri. This follows work on the Goolma Road between Wellington and Gulgong being recently completed, with more work now on the Oxley Highway between Coonabarabran and Mullaley. The project is designed to have as little an impact on the environment as possible, while delivering a boost to bushfi re resilience and road safety. Transport for NSW Regional Director West, Alistair Lunn said the vegetation removal work would be funded by the NSW Government’s $19.5 million Bushfi re Corridor Resilience Project under the Regional and Outer Metropolitan – Network Resilience Program. “The Bushfi re Corridor Resilience Project has identified and prioritised areas on the state road network where we need to build greater resilience to bushfi re, including through appropriate tree management along key regional routes,” Mr Lunn said. An assessment of the area has been undertaken by specialist arborists and environmental experts who concluded that appropriate tree management along this key regional route was needed to better prepare for the next bushfi re season. “The trees identified during inspections have been found to be either dead or in poor condition from natural ageing and decay, and likely to obstruct the highway in the instance of a bushfi re. By removing or trimming the dead and damaged trees, Transport for NSW can reduce the possibility of bushfi re network interruptions due to falling trees, which will also contribute to road safety by improving sight distances for motorists. “We understand and respect the natural beauty that trees bring to journeys through regional NSW, as well as the important role they play in providing habitat for local wildlife. An extensive environmental assessment has been completed prior to undertaking this work,” Mr Lunn said. “As part of our commitment to the environment, we will retain hollow logs for habitat, protect any heritage items along the corridor and properly dispose of all waste throughout the project,” he concluded.

“All is not well on the farm”, Rural Aid, as producers doing it tough mentally COMMODITY prices and subdued economic conditions, are not the only worries for Australian farmers, with one of our most trusted rural charities calling urgent assistance for producers battling increased levels of mental ill-health. Rural Aid CEO, John Warlters, said that our cockies producers are feeling overworked, under-appreciated, and anxious. “In a recent Rural Aid study, one in two farmers said they’ve felt their mental health decline in the past year,” Mr Warlters said. “These numbers show that all is not well on the farm… 76 per cent of our farmers, rated their mental health as poor, very poor or average, he added. He said that farming is always a touchy economic proposition, with

conditions not looking great for food and fibre. “It’s a sentiment echoed across the industry. “Rabobank’s Rural Confidence Survey, has shown farm confidence has plummeted in the past three months,” Mr Warlters revealed. Rural Aid’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Manager, Myf Pitcher, said weather conditions, biosecurity concerns, and disaster recovery are on farmers’ minds. “Our counselling team is making a really important difference every day, we’ve been all over the country supporting primary producers,” Ms Pitcher said. “From hay drops in South Australia, to water tank deliveries in Western Australia, and resil-

ience and recovery conversations in Queensland, our mental health and wellbeing team have been working overtime to assist farmers with the challenges they’re currently facing.” Mr Warlters said the record dry conditions in the south and west of the nation are proving especially difficult for farmers to deal with. “Rural Aid has organised and executed a support drop of hay, stockfeed or emergency household drinking water at the rate of roughly one per day over the last four weeks. The demand for hay in South Australia has been particularly strong.” “But, Rural Aid can’t do any of its vital work without the generosity of the Australian public,” Mr Warlters added.

Emergency apps available for rural NSW residents to download free

GETTING caught unprepared in a natural disaster can be terrifying, but some simple precautionary actions can be taken with the help of emergency information phone apps from the NSW government. Two apps are regarded as potentially life-saving additions to your phone: the Hazards Near Me NSW app and the Emergency Plus app, both instantly available to download free through the website below. With information sourced directly from emergency service authorities, the Hazards Near Me NSW app is a gateway to reliable emergency updates on bushﬁ res and ﬂoods in regional areas. If you are caught up in an emergency, time and location accuracy are critical, which is where the Emergency Plus app comes in.

This app gives your precise location to emergency services, using three unique words and a tool to help you ring triple zero quickly. There are two further apps available through the Get Ready NSW campaign, which are also worth considering for your phone. Live Traffic NSW lets you know where planned and unplanned incidents may impact on your intended travel plans, while the Bureau of Meteorology app – which is the official Australian weather monitoring service – gives you hourly and seven-day forecasts. The NSW government recommends making use of all four apps, to beneﬁt from all the latest weather information, warnings and assistance conveniently on your phone.

New national campaign to target vaping and smoking By HARRIET GILMORE THE Australian Government has launched a new national campaign targeting vapers and smokers — the ﬁ rst national anti-smoking campaign, in almost a decade. The initiative follows studies showing that, in recent years, the use of vapes and e-cigarettes, has increased significantly, particularly among young Australians. Around 3.3 million Aus-

tralians are reported to have smoked and/or vaped last year, though rates vary among populations, with young Australians, First Nations people, those in in low socio-economic areas, people in rural and remote areas, LGBTQIA+ Australians, and some multicultural communities, likely to be higher. The $63 million plus “Give Up For Good” campaign, aims to raise awareness of the health harms of smok-

ing and vaping, and encourages Australians to take advantage of newly-expanded quit support services, specifically targeting young people and adults who vape, as well as adults and First Nations adults who smoke. Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care, Mark Butler, said the new campaign gives everyone the once-in-a-generation opportunity and responsibility to act to safeguard the health of young Australians

for generations to come. “The best time to have done this would have been ﬁve years ago, but the second-best time is now,” Mr Butler said. Together with the launch of the national public health campaign, the government also announced last week expanded support services to help Australians quit nicotine addiction caused by vaping and smoking as well as a range of support resources for parents and carers.

Quit Director, Rachael Andersen, said her organisation is here to help all Australians quit smoking or vaping.

“We want to remind people they’re not alone in giving up for good. Quit services are culturally safe, they’re inclusive, non-judgemental and free,” Ms Andersen said.

“So, whether it’s your ﬁ rst attempt to quit, or your tenth, we’re here to support you,” she concluded.

Winter holiday break fun for young in Warren and Dubbo MOVIE night, trips to Dubbo, games night, tie-dye workshops, and cultural learning are among the many activities available for young people in Warren these winter school holidays, thanks to the NSW Government’s Holiday Break program. Warren will be a hub of youth activities across the school holiday break running from Tuesday, July 9 some great fun including two visits to Dubbo, all being operated by Warren Youth Support Group across the winter school break. In Dubbo itself, Oyster Tribe Aboriginal Corporation will conduct cultural workshops to engage youth teaching Aboriginal culture and connection to country on Monday, July 8 at Dubbo Aboriginal Land Council. Young people will be able to expand their horizons over the break with almost 80 programs on offer covering everything from creative arts workshops to skateboarding lessons to keep young people entertained and engaged. The Holiday Break Program has made it easier for young people and their parents and carers to ﬁ nd activities near them via the interactive map. Department of Regional NSW Acting Director, Charlotte Frew, said the regions will be packed with activities during the July break. “The Holiday Break Program allows young people to see that there are experiences and opportunities open to them in the regions and we have a broad range of free activities on offer to keep young people active, connected to their communities and to make sure they’re having fun during the Winter school holidays,” Ms Frew said. “Our Holiday Break Program team has ensured that no matter the interests of your child or teenager, there’s likely to be something that will suit them or an opportunity to try something new,” she added. “Our relationship with local community organisations is allowing us to deliver activities that will spark the imagination of young people whether they’re a budding muso, artist or one of our future sporting heroes.” To ﬁ nd activities in your local area, go to the NSW Government’s Holiday Break website.

Powerhouse Museum donation, Spelling Bee, at Warren Central EVERY so often, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, allows public organisations to make application for equipment that the organisation no longer needs. In this spirit of giving, Warren Central School’s Miss Blewer, recently submitted just such a request, eventually being offered a fascinating selection of items that students can now use free at the school. The equipment included a guitar, a keyboard, a set of musical bells, some technological items, and stage equipment, that will all enhance school performances at Warren Central. “We look forward to using these items, and having some fun with them,” a School spokesperson said of the gifts. Warren Central also held their annual Spelling Bee last Tuesday, June 11 with students from Years Three to Six involved, including 22 pupils in Year Three/Four, and 11 from Year Five/Six. Students had prepared to do their best in the competition as they learned words via the extensive Scripps Spelling Bee list developed by Miss Blewer. It was congrats all-round to those who participated in the event, with Olivia Hall the new champ in Years Three and Four, and Rhani Johnson the winner for Years Five and Six. The School’s regular civic, academic, and community awards were also presented during the week.

Sport CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND SEVEN REPORT

‘Roos send Jets hopping, in a Boronia Cup rematch By BRYSON LUFF COOLAH ‘Roos’ second defence of the Boronia Cup this year, was a hard-fought win against the visiting Narromine Jets at Coolah’s Bowen Oval. The ‘Roos got away with a solid 24-12 victory over the Jets to remain undefeated at the halfway point of the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition. It was better pickings for the Jets in the other grades, with their League Tag side winning 34-20, the win meaning that they too remain undefeated thus far in the 2024 competition, whilst the Junior Jets scored a narrow two-point win over the previously-undefeated Gulgong Terriers in a game played at Coolah, 28-26. The senior Gulgong sides travelled a little further north to do battle with Coonabarabran and, whilst their League Tag side recorded a big win over the Unicorns, the two First Grade sides could not be split. After the full 80 minutes, the high-scoring affair involved both teams crossing for six tries as well as booting four goals apiece, for a fascinating 32-32 draw. The Gilgandra Panthers also travelled up the Castlereagh Highway to face the Coonamble Bears, with both sides in

desperate need of a win to keep in touch with the top five. It was to be the visitors who led at half-time, going to the sheds with the scoreboard reading 24-0 in their favour, with that lead stretching-out to 28-0 just two minutes into the second stanza. The Bears, as always, were not about to lie down and, after scoring two converted tries it was 28-12 and there was indeed some degree of concern amongst the Panther faithful who had the recent memory of their side’s capitulation, and subsequent loss, to the Coonabarabran Unicorns in Round Six still burning bright. However, they did go on to record a solid 32-18 victory over a Bears outfit that never gave up. The Bears will need to call upon every ounce of their resilience and spirit this weekend, when they face the daunting trip to Cobar to take on the Roosters. Whilst the win by the Gilgandra Panthers will give them encouragement, they too face a huge challenge next Saturday when they host the Coolah ‘Roos, and they will have to perform at their very best if they are to be the fi rst team to lower the visitor’s colours this year. The match of the round will be played at Narromine

with the fourth placed Jets (15 competition points) up against the third placed Coonabarabran Unicorns (16 competition points).

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Walgett on Saturday, June 15 GILGANDRA trainer Kieren Hazelton picked up a winner at Walgett on Saturday when Hell Oh Baby took out its second win in four starts. Four year old mare Hell Oh Baby, a recent addition to the Hazelton stable at Gilgandra, has from four starts recorded two surprise wins. A $12 winner at Brewarrina, Hell Oh Baby was again a $15 outsider for the 1300 metres J.R Moore Memorial Class One Handicap. Coming from midﬁeld, Hell Oh Baby ridden by Gulgong based apprentice Jessica Brookes, won by over a length from Adviser (Jack Baker, $3.60 favourite) and Zachariah (Wendy Peel, $4). The upsurge in popularity of racing in the central and western areas continued unabated with a record breaking crowd at Walgett on Saturday to see Macchina Volante win the 1400 metres Geronimo Farm Equipment/New Holland Walgett Cup. Owned by Kathryn Smith and the Dubbo based trainer Clint Lundholm, Macchina Volante was ridden by apprentice Dylan Stanley who recently returned to Wellington after a stint riding at Alice Springs

Big Saturday of races in western region in the Northern Territory. Macchina Volante ($9) raced in a handy midfield position on the inside in the 11 horse field and fi nished well to win the Cup by a half-length from Jakat (Ella Drew, $11) and the leader Notabadidea (Andrew Banks, $3.60 favourite). Formerly from New Zealand, mature age apprentice Ella Drew (34) had her fi rst race ride in March this year and has now ridden four winners, the latest being Invincible Faith in the 1000 metres Tefcon Formwork and Robinson Concrete Benchmark 50 Handicap at Walgett. Apprenticed to Jan Bowen at Muswellbrook, Ella Drew was aboard the Lea Selby, Armidale trained Invincible Faith ($6) which tracked the leaders then came with a strong run down the centre of the track to beat Sippity Sip (Billy Cray, $11) and Jarmanagic (Andrew Banks, $3.50). Billy Cray who rode the runner-up had earlier won the 900 metres Walgett Sporting Club Maiden Plate on Western Eagle for Gunnedah trainer Sue Bigg. Western Eagle ($5) led throughout when accounting for Our Warhorse (Andrew Banks, $2.60 favourite) and Pleasing Surprise (Georgina McDonnell, $21). The Michael Lunn, Dubbo trained Ocean Hero won as an outsider in the 1600 metres Woodham Petroleum Services BM 50 Handicap. Making a long, sustained run from the tail of the field,

Ocean Hero (Andrew Banks, $21) charged past the opposition to score by nearly 6 lengths from Another Gift (Jack Baker, $6) and Klatten, Chelsea Stanley, $17). Now apprenticed to Sue Grills at Tamworth after moving from Queensland, Jack Baker is impressing keen judges and again looked good when winning the 1400 metres Dubbo City Toyota Maiden Handicap on the Sally Torrens, Gunnedah trained Belle Sonnet. Hefty Price (Zoe Hunt, $8) loomed as a big chance in the straight however Belle Sonnet (Jack Baker, $6) fished best to win by threequarters of a length with Amntaka (Georgina McDonnell, $1.80 favourite) over three lengths away third.

Raced at Mudgee on Saturday, June 15 FORMER jockey Roy McCabe from Bathurst won the 2002 Bligh Picnic Cup at Mudgee on Chanter and on Saturday he returned as the trainer of a winning double. Chanter was owned by Jim and Amanda Bowman, the parents of star international jockey Hugh Bowman, while the winners this year for Roy McCabe were Lubly Sing and Any Marg’lldo, owned respectively by Sydney based Peter Knight and Robyn Tatham. Riding at her ﬁ rst meeting, Deborah Barton will long remember her win on Any Marg’lldo in the 1100 metres

Lue Handicap. Casino Silk took the lead from Jet Missile as the 10 horse ﬁeld entered the home straight however Any Marg’lldo (Deborah Barton, $3.00 favourite) steamed down the outside to win by almost 2 lengths from Gulf Of Gabes (Arthur Pollock, $6) and Casino Silk (Todd Bailey $21). A good ride by Izzy Neale saw her bring the Roy McCabe trained Lubly Sing ($6) with a late run along the inside to beat Wabrami (Todd Bailey, $12) and the leader Buy Me A Birkin (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.70 favourite) in the 1000 metres Burrundulla Maiden Plate. The Bligh Picnic Cup has been run for 146 years and in 2024 one of the biggest , if not the biggest, winning margins was posted by the Geoff O’Brien, Quirindi trained Uplink. Ridden by Gilgandra based Zara Lewis, Uplink, backed from $5 to $2.60), obviously relished the very heavy track and led throughout over the 1850 metres to win by 25 lengths from Natural Mystic (Arthur Pollock, $9) with another 12 lengths to the third placed Blackhill Kitty (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.90 favourite). Born in England, Arthur Pollock (19) has made a dream start to his career as a jockey on the NSW picnic circuit, winning the Moree Picnic Cup on Peak Road in May at his ﬁ rst meeting, followed by a winning double at Mallawa Picnics and another winning double at Bligh Picnics.

His winners at Bligh, Fill A Promise and Joanneski, are both trained at Scone by his mother Nicki Pollock. Third to the home turn in the 1000 metres Inglis Rural Property Havilah Handicap, Fill A Promise (Arthur Pollock, $1.60 to $1.40 fav.) won by over 6 lengths from Uprise (Emily Harrison, $9) and Break Over (Sebastian Galea, $5). Second leg of the Pollock double, Joanneski ($3.40) took the lead from Belle O’Ballee turning for home and then held on well to score by over a length from Dragoneight (Sebastian Galea, $4.20) and Never Never Land (Eloise Drews, $5) in the 1000 metres Birkalla Bracelet Collaroy Cup. First season rider Eloise Drews has now ridden three winners after the Krissie Simpkins, Muswellbrook trained Distinctive Glory won the 1400 metres Merotherie Handicap. Fractious when leaving the mounting yard, Distinctive Glory on the way to the barriers bucked and tried to dislodge the rider. A promising young jockey, Eloise Drews remained composed and with a very good ride brought Distinctive Glory ($8) with a strong run from back in the ﬁeld to win by over 2 lengths from Nasty Streak (Todd Bailey, $5) and the $1.70 favourite Nest In The Hills ( Ricky Blewitt) which had taken the lead from Illusive Star approaching the home turn.

Pumas retain the Beach-Moxham Cup, after narrow win over Bulls By HARRY GAYNOR THE Pumas and Pumarettes headed west along the Mitchell Highway to Nyngan last Saturday to take on the Bogan Bulls for round six of the Western Plain Rugby Union competition. Plenty of history and rivalry lay between the two men’s sides, whilst the Nyngan’s women’s side were making their debut this season in the Western Plains Women’s competition. After a week of drizzle and overcast conditions, the rain luckily stayed away for an otherwise cold afternoon of footy. The Pumarettes ran on fi rst to face the impressive newcomers in the Nyngan “Bullarettes”, who had overwhelmed the rest of the competition so far with an undefeated season. Lacking numbers, the Warren girls were prepared for a huge defensive effort. Nyngan set the tone early by attacking wide with persistent wrap-around efforts, eager to fi nd their speed on the wings. Yet the early defensive efforts of Pip Storer and Kaitlin Staniforth shut down this tactic and forced a lot of ball to the ground early. Unfortunately, multiple errors from Warren, as well as an equally impressive defensive effort from Nyngan, kept the Pumarettes stuck in their own half. Eventually pressure gave way with Nyngan girls finally pouncing on loose ball and open space, scoring two

tries before half time. A 10-0 lead was a relatively positive start against the competition favourites. Defence had been superb from Iva Burewe and Charlotte Scotson in the middle, but the Nyngan side had more fresh legs to keep compounding the score in the second half. The Bullarettes extended the lead to a strong 59-0 decimation by the bell, with the Pumarettes feeling battered coming off the field, yet still optimistic about what they now needed to improve on for the second half of the season. The men’s fi rst grade team then ran on to extend their streak of undefeated performance this season. The task was not going to be easy, with a raft of senior players injured or missing, particularly throughout the backline. The Bogan Bulls were determined to set the standard early, delivering some rattling defensive tackles early on and pressuring the Pumas to make simple mistakes across the field. About 20 minutes in, the Nyngan winger was able to fi nd space and score fi rst points in the corner. The attacking pressure piled on afterwards, with the boot of Hagan Size at fullback getting the Pumas out of trouble numerous times. Some fierce competition at the ruck and the usual niggling from the Bulls once again forced some sil-

ly mistakes from the Pumas forwards, and the Bulls’ f lanker crossed over for the second try. The Pumas immediately hit back by ﬁ nding some territory and winning the lineouts, with some simple hands allowing the Argentinian ﬂyer Agustin “Tin-Tin” Pannuto over for a try. The mood of the match suddenly changed as Nyngan found themselves frustrated with their own defence, and the ever-reliable cutback line running from Joe Hamblin found him scoring under the posts. On the stroke of half-time,

lock forward Harry Nuthall was lucky to find space for a major as well, edging the Pumas to a two-point lead at the break. The second half was no easier than the fi rst, with Nyngan again resorting to some dominating defence strategies in order to regain the ball. Some silly mistakes lead to a penalty conversion for Nyngan, but they followed this up with some poor discipline in backline defence, allowing Hagan Size over for a try. Tensions would flare for the fi nal 15 minutes as fresh subs allowed the contest at the ruck to remain brutal. A yellow card for a shoulder charge saw Warren reduced to 14 men. Another penalty kick gave the Bull’s a sniff of the lead late, and Bulls’ winger Mitch Butler capitalized on momentum by taking an intercept pass to the tryline, edging the Bulls in front, 23-22. Nyngan were seemingly going to run away with the game in the fi nal 10, yet once again the heart of the Warren forward pack allowed them to gain momentum down field and force a penalty from 40 metres out. Hagan Size plucked the opportunity without hesitation, and just covered the crossbar to regain the lead. Another set of poor discipline from the Bulls allowed Warren to seal the win with

another long-range penalty from Size on the bell. The Pumas prevailed to retain the Barry Beach-Bomber Moxham Cup, 28-22. A shortened second grade game was played afterwards, with Warren supporting strong numbers for their third game of the season. Captain-coach Andrew Cosgrove lead from the front early with some bold runs up the middle of the field, equally matched with the running from prop Ulrich Eins. Sporting some battered and injured players from the fi rst grade battle, Nyngan were less competitive in the ruck space for this match, yet they made up for it in speed with the outside backs. The contest was fair and constantly bouncing from one end of the paddock to the other, yet the fresh legs of the Pumas allowed them to run in two tries in the fi rst half and two in the second, fi nishing the game 28-0 to give them an undefeated record this season.

The win over the Bulls sees the Pumas ﬁ rst grade side secure their lead at the top of the Western Plains table, a solid 11 points ahead of the second placed Bogan Bulls. Next week, the ﬁ rst half the season will wrap up when the Pumas face Gulargambone at Victoria Oval.

After the game, a delicious meal catered for by the Golf Club Chinese restaurant was enjoyed by both teams. On Saturday, the Mixed Foursomes Championships over 36 holes was played in weather where normal clothes just weren’t enough, with the cold frigid air penetrating and wicking-away body heat faster than it could be replaced.

Crowned the A-Grade champions for 2024, were Christine Tilley and James Taylor on 164 with the runners-up Deb Kentwell and Jarrard Noonan on 167.
