Rural areas grapple with escalating crime
Coonabarabran community members have expressed concerns regarding brazen levels of crime throughout the town. by GEORGIA SPENCE Due to a noticeable rise in crime over the past two years, families are starting to feel unsafe and unprotected in Coonabarabran. B reak and enters, multiple brawls, children carrying knives, stolen defibrillators – the list of alleged incidents goes on. However, one of the biggest concerns reported by community members is the rate of youth crime and drugs. The Coonaba rab ran T imes recently spoke with two local families who felt compelled to share their experience of local crime and the ongoing impact it has had on their lives. For the safety of the people
involved, these families have chosen to remain anonymous. Lack of support After experiencing multiple counts of ha rassment and violence from young children and teenagers, one family said their child was now too afraid to leave their house. They said they had received little support from police. “I don’t think police understand the severity of the situation – my child is now suicidal after what they have gone through,” the parent said. “I am petrified for my kids. There has been no word from police regarding my statements. “Kids are ramping it up every week. When I told police they were carrying knives, they said

they weren’t surprised, but what is being done?” “These kids film every time they bash someone and post it online. Offenders are only getting a slap on the wrist by police. “Kids are also threatening the elderly in Woolworths. I don’t feel safe.” Gang mentality Both families agreed that there had been a visible rise in violent incidents in Coonabarabran over the past two years, suggesting social media was shaping how young people engaged in violent behaviours and criminal activities. Parents feel there is an alleged “gang mentality”, after witnessing groups of up to 20 teenagers and kids walking around at night. These fami l ies a re also
concerned at the increasing n u m b e r of d r u g s a n d u s e d needles, even finding evidence of needles in their own backyards. They are worried kids have easy access to hard drugs and are influenced by older community members. Incidents where several cars were broken into throughout an evening, also have community members concerned. Onlookers witnessed a brawl b reak out on Geo rge St reet almost a month ago, the same evening and location where the break and enters occurred. Over the past month, multiple c o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s h a ve contacted the Coonabarabran T imes rega rding thef t and property damage in the area.
The parents of those affected by youth violence suggested reporting incidents to Crimestoppers if they could not contact Coonabarabran Police Station. Crimestoppers is an anonymous on l i ne repo r ti ng plat fo r m, used to inform investigations conducted by police and other law enforcement agencies. The families both hope the community can rally together and raise awareness of the issues. From stolen chess pieces and lights at Little Timor Plaza, to the missing defibrillator at the front of the Council offices, it is clear the local crime rates are boldening... so what’s being done?

Cultivating careers in ag
Sue McGoldrick’s unique school programs instil in children a sense of responsibility and foster a deeper appreciation for agriculture. by GEORGIA SPENCE Over the years, Sue McGoldrick has played a key role in involving students in agricultural practices. Growing up on a property at Pur lewaugh, Mrs McGoldr ick said she always had a passion for agriculture. She attended the Hawkesbury Agricultural College and stayed an extra year to complete her teaching certificate. It was when she began teaching in Warrumbungle Shire where she met her husband, Terry, who shared her passion for introducing children to farm life. “The k ids love it and most of them have never seen o r
touched a sheep before,” Mrs McGoldrick said. “T h e p ro g ra m s g i ve t h e m a n o p p o r t u n i t y to b e co m e interested in agriculture – it gets them star ted and if they are serious, they will stick with it and use it. “It even helps teachers. Kids who might be a bit of trouble in class can use all their excess ene rgy i n thei r ca re fo r the animals. It helps them with all subjects and encourages motivation in the classroom.” Cu r rentl y, M r s McGo ld r ick works as a science and agriculture teacher at St Lawrence’s Primary School in Coonabarabran. She said through the agriculture
programs students get to care for ewes, rams and poultry, while learning to feed and keep them healthy. After caring for the ewes and rams at school, students are provided with the opportunity to attend agricultural shows. In the lead up to these events, students and teachers trim the sheep, while Mrs McGoldrick takes on the task of shearing. Students also wash the sheep’s faces, tidy up their legs, and spray the sheep to a uniform colour. The following day the sheep undergo judging, and students frequently have the opportunity to lead their sheep around the
ring. In the past, students have attended local shows as well as Sydney Royal Easter Show. This year, St Lawrence’s will be showing at the Royal Bathurst Show. In the second half of the school yea r, M r s McGold r ick b r ings steers to the school. Students learn how to break the steers in for judging at ‘Hoof and Hook’ competitions. Mrs McGoldrick said the steers raised by the students were often judged highly. G r o w i n g ve g eta b l e s a n d creating veggie gardens is also involved in her work with students. Over time, Mrs McGoldrick
has witnessed students, who had never been exposed to farming, develop careers in the agricultural industry. Her programs provide students with a practical education as to where their food comes from, the life cycle of all living things and shows the reward in hard work. “You can’t stop these kids, they love it. They love being around animals,” Mrs McGoldrick said. “They love bringing home a pumpkin or a capsicum, and teachers are often impressed by their team work.” Mrs McGoldrick said she will remain motivated to teach for as long as the kids remain interested in learning.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR editor@coonabarabrantimes.com A response As I am the minister of the Presbyterian Church in town, and the one who designed our current poster, I felt the need to respond to the letter in last week’s paper titled “Racist Visual”. Pam accused the church of using an image of an African American that evokes racist images of the past. She claims our image recalls such things as “ bug- eyed a nd sl ack jawed” pictures, white actors in “black face”, and images that re-enforced the stereotype of the day that African Americans were “dim witted, lazy… and stupid”. The Jim Crow era was indeed a terrible blight on human history and sadly many churches capitulated to it, contrary to Jesus’ teaching on love. Her expla nation , however, is sel fdefeating, as the image in our poster is of a man in a three-piece suit who looks like he holds a topmanagement position at a finance company, ha rd ly a d i m-w itt ed
slave. I didn’t choose this image because of the colour of his skin (something that didn’t even enter my mind until last week’s letter to the editor). I chose this picture because of his surprised expression, and that’s it. His expression fits with what we are currently exploring from the bible on S u nd ays – c r a z y things Jesus said. And Jesus said some crazy things. True, but crazy. Perhaps none more than what we remember at Easter time. When Jesus was being unjustly crucified, he looked upon those who d rove the nails into him and said, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” Jesus’ words remind us of what Easter time is tr u ly about – the forgiveness of sin we can have because Jesus bore our sin on the cross. A forg iveness that is on offer for all people regardless of gender, race, or creed. Want to know more? Come and join with
us 9:30am each Sunday. A nd in the future, if anyone has any questions about our posters, give me a call. My number is on the sign out the front of the church. I’ll buy you a coffee and we can have a chat. Happy Easter everyone. Yourts etc., Rev. Kristian Hartberg Coonabarabran 2357 (19.03.2024) Learn what they live Solomon was the wisest man whoever lived. He stated: Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.” It is difficult for a loving parent to discipline their child. Lack of discipline makes one question a parent’s love for their child. Simply put, a child learns what they live. If a child lives with criticism in the home, they learn to condemn. If a child lives with hostility in the home, they learn to fight. If a child lives with ridicule in the home,
they learn to be shy and withdrawn. If a child lives with shame in the home, they learn to feel guilt. But... If a child lives with tolerance in the home, they learn tolerance and patience. If a child lives with encouragement in the home, they learn confidence. If a child lives with fairness in the home, they learn justice. If a child lives with security in the home, they learn to have faith in others. If a child lives with approval in the home, they learn to have self respect. I f a child lives w ith accepta nce a nd friendship in the home, they learn to live life and to love. Yours etc., A. N. Brain Coonabarabran 2357 (19.03.2024) “Here We ‘Really’ Go Again” I was never appalled by Chris Evans letter to the editor, but more
app a l le d by A l l i s on Reynolds’ response. Myself, my brother and sister all came from an era where we must have been a bit tougher to survive. We were disciplined the same as most in that era, getting a good tune up for a range of things we did wrong, and one tune up was enough to remember not to do it again. How many wooden spoons broke out of Mum’s kitchen drawer? Wooden coat hangers – they flew into two pieces, and the good old electric jug cord – now that stung! Once you su r v ived your at-home discipline we wa l ked t o scho ol where getting the ‘cuts’ or ‘6’ers were a weekly event a nd u nt i l you had been punished by a Catholic nun with a cane or ruler across the hand, you really don’t know what you missed out on. In the playg round, further lessons in life were dealt out where, if someone had ‘dobbed’ on another, it would result in a split lip or black eye. After school you could
go to the swimming pool, the river or the sports’ fields, where any amount of life’s lessons were learnt swiftly and then moved on from. Mysel f, ever y thing I own comes from my own path in life. I got plenty of disciplinary floggings. I came out of a typical, loving family home in Coonabarabran like a lot of others. We all had ‘war stories’ about worse situations, but we dealt with the cards we were given as individuals and with our mates in groups. As to Allison’s ‘easy s olut ion’ for t o d ay ’s youth, it ’s that easy solution that has put us in today’s mess, with the majority of towns around Australia now having the highest youth-crime rates ever seen. P rofessor R amon Lewis has been sprouting his alternate preachings for 40 years and under his softly-softly approach, problems have gotten far worse, with children being well versed in how to confront a teacher, or police officer, or coach with an array of rights,

rather than address their behaviour first. A llison’s last paragraph said, “Imagine a community where ever yone...has positive thoughts about every member of that community…” There is a place, I’ve been told, it ’s called Heaven, but as long as the years roll on and discipline is given to G o ve r n ment a nd d o gooders – not parents, well, we can expect to keep living in a hell on earth. The era of parents, teachers, nuns, coaches, mat es, pol ice g iv i ng out a quick clip under the ear to tune us up a bit may well be what is once again needed. B ut , u n f o r t u n at e l y, we enter into an era we were warned about from Eisenhower long ago – “History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid”.

After a well-earned break over Christmas, Coonabarabran CWA Evening Branch members are now back to business – and fun! T he main business has been fundra ising t o suppor t the Macquarie Home St ay ac c ommod ation facility in Dubbo. The new w i n g c u r r ent ly bei ng constr uct ed is to be named the ‘CWA Wing’. Branches in the Castlereagh Countr y Group have been asked to help with the furnishing of the rooms. This is a fabulous and much-needed facility – a home away from home when we are at our most
vulnerable. Our branch conducted a l a rge c at er i ng job in December and have another one approaching. The Armidale University Meat Tasting Group ran a fantastic event recently, with 60 participants sampling and scoring beef samples over a three-hour period. This was a great fundraiser and a fabulous addition to help reach our target. At the recent Coonabarabran Show our branch organised a collection and display of memorabilia of oldenday kitchen items. It was amaz i ng what
members had at their home to contribute to the exhibition. A f t er v iew i n g t he items and hea r ing st or ies of days past , of hot k it chens w ith no r unn ing water or e le c t r i c it y a nd d i r t floors, we certainly have much to be thankful for nowadays – no packet cakes back then! We a r e c u r r e n t l y waiting on a reply from a grant application to have our CWA rooms in Cassilis Street painted. B r e nd a You n g , our cultural and international off icer, held our attention at a recent meeting by giving us some wonder f ul
details on France, this year’s country of study. She even treated us to a few edible treats – French style! On the cultural side, Brenda has been watching too much of the 1% Club! That really got the brain ticking. Lots of fun – thank you Brenda. Suzanne, our agricultural and env i r on ment of f icer, gave us a det a i led account of the microbat. M icrobats are insect eaters and an important part of the ecosystem. Microbats are not to be touched or disturbed. They can live up to 20 years. Sherree

Tackling crime in the bush: what’s being done? Police response The Coonabarabran Times contacted the Coonabarabran Police Station for comment on local crime incidents, however, struggled to gain contact as the office was repeatedly closed. Police inspector and officer in charge for the northern sector, Jason Conolly said police staffing had been an issue across the board in Australia. “If one section is short, we have utilised staff from elsewhere to assist. There are ongoing operations within the sector utilising various resources,” Insp. Conolly said. “I believe in a very proactive response to addressing crime issues, police being out and visible in the communities. “This, I believe, becomes much more important in smaller, rural communities.” A spokesperson from NSW Police said officers would continue to work towards meeting Coonabarabran’s expectations of

safety and address concerns. They said Operation Regional Mongoose wa s l a u n ch e d i n S e pte m b e r l a s t ye a r throughout the western region. The operation has resulted in 153 people, including 109 juveniles, charged with more than 1400 offences. Approximately 198 of those charges were for breaching bail. “It is a high-visibility police operation to tack le ser ious cr ime commit ted p redominately by young of fende r s. Additional police resources are enhancing o p e r a t i o n s a c r o s s t h e r e g i o n ,” t h e spokesperson said. “Western Region commander, assistant commissioner Rod Smith, is the corporate sponsor for youth and will work with partner agencies to provide diversionary programs for at-risk youth.” The NSW Police spokesperson said they would continue to empower youth to make the right decisions, however, a sense of
societal effort was encouraged. The community can provide a sense of belonging and purpose to at-risk youth, in order to support their full potential. Activities for youth, recommended by NSW Police included work, school, sport or community activities. NSW Government reforms In light of rising crime rates in the bush, the NSW Government has announced a $26.2 million package of reforms and initiatives to support community safety and wellbeing, specifically in regional NSW. The package will focus on strengthening early intervention and prevention programs for young people. The reforms recognise the increase in cases of offenders recording and posting their behaviour online and how the video engages others in similar criminal behaviour. A new offence for “posting and boasting”, will be introduced into legislation, with an
additional penalty of two years imprisonment for break and enters and motor vehicle theft shared online. The legislative reforms also address the increase in rates of re-offence, through the Bail Act Amendment. The State Government plans to invest $12.9 million to fund a range of state-wide regional crime prevention initiatives. This i ncl udes the ex pansion of youth action meetings in nine police districts and the expansion of the Safe Aboriginal Youth Patrol Program. At Moree, $13.4 million will be supplied as a targeted response to address crime in the area. T h e refo r m s h o pe to l i f t th e s u p po r t fo r yo u ng peo p l e i n d i sadva nta g ed communities. The Government will also distribute a further $7.5 million in Justice Reinvestment grants.
Rate of violent crime in Regional NSW Statistical Areas and ratio to NSW average, 2023
New research exploring crime patterns in regional NSW shows that in 2023 the rate of property crime in regional NSW was 59 per cent higher than in Sydney and the rate of violent crime in regional NSW was 57% higher than in Sydney. The data, published by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) on Thursday, 14 March, reveals the disparity in crime between metropolitan and regional areas, and how the divide was increasing. The research found the Far West and Orana Regions, which includes War r umbungle Shire, increased the most over a five-year period, as offence rates almost tripled the state average for proper t y and violent crimes. Since 2019, significant increases were found i n moto r veh icl e thef t (up 2 0 %), domestic assault (up 24%), non-domestic assault (up 14%) and sexual assault (up 47%). In 2023, rates of the following major crimes in regional NSW were lower from 2019. Break and enter dwelling (down 17%), steal from motor vehicle (down 16%), steal from dwelling (down 27%), steal from person (down 27%), other theft (down 30%). E xecutive director of BOSCAR, Jackie Fitzgerald said crime rates had not necessarily increased across the state, however, the figures identified clear discrepancies. “A l o n g s ta n d i n g fe at u re of c r i m e i n NSW is that regional communities tend to experience higher rates of crime than in the city,” Ms Fitzgerald said. “ C r i m e r e d u c t i o n s i n Sy d n e y h a v e exceeded those in the regions over the past two decades.”

Whisking for the win WORD for WORD at Coona Show
In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quick-fire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?” And so the chain continues... Do you have a nickname? Probably just Shell.
Best thing about living in Coonabarabran? The people.
H o w d i d y o u co m e t o l i v e i n Coonaba rab ran? My youngest sister was living here and was having a baby. I lived in Bathurst at the time. My other sister and I moved here so the family could be together. That was 11 years ago.
If you could have any superpower what would it be? I would love the ability to heal.
Where would people recognise your face? The Lighthouse – we have had the shop for nine-and-a-half years. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to own a shop. I remember being five or six and running garage sales and selling all my toys and roller skates and my mum’s jewellery. I just knew I would run a shop, even at that age. What ’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Definitely owning t h e s h o p – b e ca u s e of a l l t h e different people I get to meet and all the interactions on the daily. It is the best job I have ever had for sure. You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Cooking and spending time with my family are my biggest ways to de-stress. How would your friends and family d e s c r i b e yo u i n t h r e e wo r d s? Unorganised, friendly and generous. What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? I never get out of town much, but going to different creeks and waterfalls would be the ultimate road trip. I f you h a d a n a n i m a l o r p l a n t ren a m ed i n you r honou r, w h a t would you want to carry your name? M a y b e a f r u it t ree. So m eth i n g hardy, but productive. What’s one totally irrational fear that you have? When my children take road trips I worry. I worry something might happen to a family member. I also hate flying. I used to fly a lot as a kid, but now I really don’t like it. Do you have a favourite community event or group? Not really, we like to support everyone.
Have you read any good books or watched any good movies lately? My favourite book is a book called Soul Food. I read it regularly. It is a collective of stories and fables across all of the denominations from Christian, to Buddhist and Native American. What are the top three items on your bucket list? Travel to Ireland – that is where my husband is from. See the Sistine Chapel and live to see a second story put on my house. I want a mezzanine with big dormer windows.
Wow! What a wonderful array of entries we had in this year’s Cake Decorating Section of the Coonabarabran Show, with around 40 entries, which is the largest number of submissions for some years. Champion of K Section – Cake Decorating was Liz Grimshaw, from Neilrex, with her formal iced and decorated cake and, of course, she won first prize for the “formal iced and decorated cake” class.

An all-around great effort by everyone who entered. A big thank you goes to Belinda Johnson and Trudi Hoffmann for their assistance with arranging the entries and to our wonderful judge Annie. And of course, to all our competitors for all your time and effort, for without you we’d have nothing to show. See you all again next year. Keep decorating. Genevieve (Gen) Penman
Do you have a hidden talent? Or what is something people might not know about you? I use all my talents in the business – from baking, to business talents. If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be? I would be curious to have a look at the 1890s. I love all the historical buildings, the costumes. But I have been really happy living through the 70s, 80s and 90s. They are some good decades. If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be and what would you cook them? I would have John Lennon and he can br ing George Harrison. If it was winter I would cook them a stew with some nice bread. When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I laugh every day. I love laughing. My customers a re so funny and ente r ta i ni ng. My kids are funny. I feel like I am laughing all the time. Wha t ’s t he bes t adv i ce you’ve ever been given? Make the best of whatever is happening. Look for the positive aspects. A saying I tell my children and myself is that everything is working out for me. Liz Grimshaw, cake decorating champion, also took out first prize for the novelty cake in fondant.
Ziara Swanson took out first prize in the patty cakes 8-11 years class.

IN FOCUS: THE PRICE OF MEAT
Supermarket stronghold: high stakes for your steak When an industry is dominated by a handful of huge companies, there is a large impact on small, local businesses – the fresh meat market is no exception. by GEORGIA SPENCE Cu r re nt l y, t h e fresh meat ma r ket is monopolised by supe r m a r ket g i a nt s, Woolworths and Coles, which hold the power to manipulate prices to their advantage. Due to the sheer size of their market share, estimated to be around 85 per cent of red meat sales in Australia, supe r ma r kets have more flexibility in price. Wo o l w o r t h s i s t h e largest market holder, while only 15 per cent of sales are made th rough the fr iendly neighbourhood butcher; a figure that has been dropping in recent years. Supe r ma r kets a re a l so key p laye r s at prime cattle and sheep sales, where they are able to buy in volume. Coonabarabran stock and station agent, David Grant said fa r m e r s’ h a n d s we re
tied. “The supermarkets sell it for more per kilogram. They might buy a good export lamb for $2.40 a kilogram, then they put $24/kg o n a l eg,” M r Grant said. “I always say, stick to your local butcher – he is genuine and the meat is local.” Regardless of increased productivity within the beef and l a m b m a r ket, p r i ce s h ave n ot red uced i n store. T h i s i s i n s p ite of a fa l l a c ro s s t h e e a s t co a s t cat t l e m a r ket, with prices falling 66 per cent in 12 months, while lamb dropped 38 per cent in the same time frame. Only within the past month has Woolworths and Coles lowered th e i r m eat p r i ces fo r consumers. D e s p i t e t h e s u p e r m a r ke t g i a n t s’ control, local butchers remained competitive.
In Coonabarabran, Kr ysties Quality Meats butchery owner, Frank Nottle said it was important to keep meat localised as it supported the town’s economy. “For a start, it creates l oca l em p l oy m ent, gives local producers a more direct outlet for their product, and gives the shoppers a choice with portion sizes,” Mr Nottle said. “We get virtually all our meat through the local abattoir, which is just 15 kilometres down the road. “ M e a t f r o m supe r ma r ket s m ig ht have to travel interstate, and the longer the c o l d c h a i n , t h e r e’ s an increased r isk of something going wrong.” F e d e r a l t r e a s u r e r, Jim Chalmers recently launched a Senate Inquiry into supermarket prices, conducted by the Australian Competition and
Consumer Commission. The inquiry will take a year to complete and w i l l co l l ect f i n a n ci a l details from both Woolworths and Coles. Mr Chalmers and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have co m m i s s i o n ed La b o r minister and economist, D r C ra i g E m e r s o n to review the Food and G ro ce r y Co n d u ct of 2015. The objective of the code was to prevent super ma r kets from l eve r a g i n g t h e i r influence to exploit suppliers with low prices, yet it ultimately r e m a i n e d optional. M r Chalmers is also aiming to launch another price inquir y to compel supermarkets i n t o r eve a l i n g w h a t they actually pay for produce. An unofficial investigation into price
gouging has been commissioned by the Australian Council of Trade U n i o n s f ro m fo r me r competition c o m m i s s i o n e r c h a i r, Professor Allan Fels. Mr Fels found Coles and Woolworths did not suffer a decline in profits d u r i n g t h e COV I D -19
p a n d e m i c a n d h a ve since increased profit m a rg i n s . T h i s i n q u i r y showed their prices rise “ l i ke a rocket ” w h en they go up, and when t h e y f a l l t h e y “d r i f t s l ow l y dow n, l i ke a feather”. Often, prices would increase and normal prices would be
advertised to shoppers as a special. As the cost of living cr isis continues to u n fo l d , t h e i n q u i r i e s may come as a warning for supermarket giants to ta ke res po n s i b i l it y for their consumers and suppliers.
YOUR SAY: What are your thoughts on the rising cost of meat?
Emmah Watton: If I go out of town I go to ALDI. Sometimes I go to the butcher. Because meat is so expensive we really only eat mince and chicken.
Tessa Smith: My Dad does his own meat. We own a hobby farm. 7 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 21 March 2024
Alex Harris, Oliver, Zoe and Hamish Revelly: We get a meat pack from Krysties or we get the reduced meat from Woolies and freeze it.
Veronica Taylor: The cost of meat is hectic. ALDI is the cheapest. I try to get most of my meat from Coonamble at the butchers there. I get a meat pack there.
Brendon Weavers (and Olivia): I buy meat from the supermarket, mostly when it is on special. You can see the prices at Woolies and we can’t afford too much.
Lando O’Rion Edward: I usually go to Woolies. It is just easy, all the groceries are in the one spot.
BARADINE SHOW: SATURDAY 16 MARCH 2024
Baradine show celebrates success Strong entries in all competition categories and an increase in pavilion displays has delighted organisers of the 2024 Baradine Show. by LIZ CUTTS All the usual bells and whistles were on display – cattle, sheep and equestrian events, moto r bi ke races and the increasingly popula r speed - shea r competition, w he re some of the best shearer’s went head to-head in an actionpacked race against the clock. “I think the motorbike races we re excel lent entertainment this year, especially the new novelty race with men on foot and motorbikes,” s a i d B a r a d i n e PA& H president, Lauren Harris. “ T h e c o o l e r temperature was ideal and we even had a few nice sprinkles of rain to d a m p e n t h e g ro u n d a bit. We had a bit of eve r y th i ng i n eve r y category on display in the pavilions, which was wonderful. It was lovely to s e e t h e b e a u t i f u l horticultural display of flowers and vegetables, considering how dry it has been. “Sideshow alley was w e l l s u p p o r te d , i t i s always popular and a great addition to the show. The free activities
for the little children, including the sand-play area were very popular. I think it is important that we provide some free options for kids. “Of course, the success of the show is a tribute to all the hard work done by our team of volunteers over the past 12 months and all the people who came along on the day.” S p e e d - s h e a r a n n o u n c e r, A d r i a n Wo r re l l sa i d th e re was an excellent roll up of ent rants i n the competition, including the return of last year’s champion, and some hot competition in the final ‘dash for cash’. Record holder “J o r d a n B e r r y m a n took out the $1200 prize in the open section and fo r m e r N ew Ze a l a n d speed -shea r record holder, Stacy Te Huia took out the open dash for cash,” Mr Worrell said. “Last year’s champion, Warwick McMaster, did not have any luck in the final today, but we had a pretty good turnout, with competitors throughout the region taking part. “The speed shear is always popular with the crowd and I could see a few retired shearers in

the audience, probably keen to get up and knock a bit of wool off some of the sheep! “Everyone seems keen to return for next year’s competition and when you get this sort of calibre of competitors it makes for a really good event.” Coonabarabran cat t l e j ud g e, Ka it l y n Warner said the quality of animals was outstanding. “ T h e r e w e r e m o re a n i m a l s t h a n I anticipated and we had a really good showing across all the breeds,” Ms Warner said. “The grand champion Devon bu l l was an outstand i ng an i ma l and the champion was really feminine –smooth, wedge-shaped and big through the pelvis, which is what I like to see, and she had a really nice heifer calf following her. “T h e ove ra l l competition was a testament to the quality of the breeders in our local area. There is a l ot of p ro m i se i n th e local stud stock and I will be pleased to see them in future breeding programs.” Cu r ti s Ba r be r, f rom D u b b o, s a i d h e wa s impressed with the
entrants in the sheep section. “ T h e r e h a ve b e e n some good sheep come through with plenty of industr y traits such as muscle g row th and good weight for age,” Mr Barber said. “I have judged here
Sheep Show in May, so it will be interesting to see how they progress.” Equestrian judges Lisa Moody, Madisen McGill and Mandy Eyles said there were some notable quality entrants in the competition. “Although number s
were down a little bit, the qual it y has been h i g h a n d ve r y g o o d sportsmanship shown by the riders,” Ms Eyles said. “ It’s hat s of f to ever yone fo r thei r support. It was great to see everyone having a go, it was a great day.
Members of the Baradine show committee were delighted with the success of this year’s event: Jayde Curtis, Jess Taylor, Lauren Harris, Irene Worrell, Julie Thompson and Tamara Foley.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Coonabarabran Public As the weather starts to cool down,the fun and learning is starting to ramp up at CPS. Twice during each term, students who are on task and engaged are rewarded to for their efforts. This time, K-2 walked to the park to enjoy the last of the summer weather. Students who are cooperative and give their best effort to their learning and following directions were gathered and headed off together, along with many staff, first-aid kits and bottles of water. We chattered and waved at many smiling faces on the walk to Neilson Park, where the first round of fun was had at the rotunda. We had bubble mania, skipping and equipment play. Then, after a lovely easy lunch, entertained by the geese and visiting tourists, we went to the new equipment for some free-time play. It was a great reward and on the way home there were many pledges of hard work and motivation to achieve for the next afternoon of fun later in the term. In other news, all staff are involved in professional learning
about the new curriculum. These sessions are proving to be very worthwhile and increase staff understanding of the
syllabus. It is building team work ethic and broader deeper focus for student understanding. Also, this week saw the start of NAPLAN.
Mr Yabsley and Mrs Crawley are overseeing the implementation of the testing and we wish all our students every success.

OBITUARY
The Bligh Watchman As with most town communities in Australia, they nearly all had a newspaper to keep them abreast of town and district news. Sydney had the Gazette, with a major circulation situation, and the small towns had limited circulation.
Robin Fraser ONZM, BSc, MB BS (Syd), PhD (ANU), MD (Otago), FRCPA 20 December 1933 – 11 March 2024 On 11 March, 2024, Robin Fraser, in his 91st year, passed away peacefully at Ashwood Park Retirement Village, Blenheim. He is survived by the children from his first marriage to Isabel: Elizabeth, Jane, Simon, Sarah, and grandchildren Natalie, Emily, Mackenzie, Olivia, Tom, Piper, and Gemma. Robin was the dearly loved husband of Linda and father of Kate and Rachel, father-in-law of Gareth and Rupert, grandfather of Fraser, Bertram, Edwyn, Cressy, and Leland. A beloved son of Malcolm and Kathleen, brother to Don and Mary (Dort), brother-in-law, uncle, friend, colleague, and teacher. Born in Melbourne, Robin graduated in medicine and science, gained his PhD, and spent time at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney and as a country doctor in Coonabarabran. He migrated to New Zealand and became a foundation staff member of the Christchurch School of Medicine in 1974. He became the head of the pathology department and medical director of the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation (CMRF). He was awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2006 for services to medical research. His passion and love were for family, research, the liver sieve, and teaching. Robin will be greatly missed.

WEATHER WATCH The first half of March has continued the notable hotter-thannormal trend across most regions, which began last December. M a x i m u m temperatures during the first half of March were three-to-four degrees above normal at most districts from Victoria to southern Queensland. Dry conditions have persisted from the last week of January and several towns recorded their driest first half of March since 1986. Sydney looks set to record its hottest December-to-March period for 26 years including the driest first half of March since 1965, but early on Sunday morning there was deluge of 36mms. U p t o mi d March, Coonabarabran experienced its hottest December to March period since 1997-1998
and, before that, in 19821983 and 1902-1903. For Moree, the December-to-March period was the hottest since the December 1951 to March 1952 period and, before that, in 19181919 and 1888-1889 . Generally speaking, the current very-dry conditions after these findings are not expected to last beyond mid April. The majority of months for the rest this year will be wetter than average. A new cyclone named ‘Megan’ has formed near the top end of the Northern Territory, giving Groote Eylandt its wettest-ever day, with 431mms to Sunday morning, 17 March. Lord Howe Island has recorded one of its driest January and February periods on record, with only 35.2mms. Other very dry such periods were in 2014, 1985, and in 1950.
As with most town communities in Australia, they nearly all had a newspaper to keep them abreast of town and district news. Sydney had the Gazette, with a major circulation situation, and the small towns had limited circulation. T h e modern newspaper is a E u r o p e a n invention. T he oldest d i r e c t , h a ndw r it t e n news sheets circulated widely in Venice as early as 1566. These weekly news sheets were full of information on wars and politics in Italy and Europe. T he f i rst pr i nt ed newspapers were published weekly in Germany from 16 05. T y pically, they were censored by the government, especially in France, and reported mostly foreign news and current prices. A f t e r t he E n g l i s h g o v e r n m e nt r e l a x e d c e n s o r s h ip i n 16 9 5 , newspapers flourished in London and a few other cities including Boston and Philadelphia. By the 1830s, highspeed presses could print t hou s a nd s of pap er s cheaply, allowing low, daily costs. The term newspaper became common in the 17th century. However, in Germany, publications that we wou ld t oday consider to be newspaper publ ications, were appearing as early as the 16th century. They were discernibly newspapers for the following reasons: they were printed, dated, appeared at regular and f r e quent publ ic at ion intervals, and included a variety of news items. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The townspeople were always hungry for news a nd C oonaba rabra n was very fortunate in having the town’s first newspaper published in 1877, started by Richard Henry Evans. He had come to town as a young man with some experience in this f ield a nd w ith g reat ambitions. He married a daughter of M r a nd M r s A lex Simpson, old pioneers of the district, who kept a bootmaking business.
The first office was in Cassilis Street. The paper was called the “Bligh Watchman”. T he follow ing year the paper took on its first apprentice, Ernest G. Wise. He was only 10 years old at the time, but he was given a good, basic training. At 18 he was managing the “Namoi Independent”. Later, he worked for some of the large, well-known papers in Sydney. T o h av e i t s o w n newspaper was an asset to any country town. With the advent of the telegraph line, folk no longer had to wait severa l d ays for the arrival of the Sydney papers to hear the news of the world. Matters of local interest quickly found their way into its pages. The “Bligh Watchman” was publ ished tw ice we ek ly. I f a ny t h i n g exciting was happening, “Extraordinaries” were run, using information received by the telegraph. Du r ing the siege of the Kelly Gang at Glenrowan, Ernest Wise scored many a penny to buy lollies. He ran around the town, carrying the “Extraordinaries” to the businessmen. Evans was soon joined in his venture by a man named Murdock. Later, Elisha John Douglas joined the team. The first Bligh Watchman office burnt down, but a new one was built by Nelson Proctor
above the Mechanics Institute in John Street. Before 1880 the paper had moved again; this time further down John Street, opposite Hugh’s Telegraph Hotel. Richard Evans was a restless man. He decided to move to Muswellbrook and begin another paper there. Er nest Wise carefully packed the type in suitcases for him. Evans changed his mind. He went to Mudgee i nst ead a nd joined John Kelman in the production of the “Mudgee Locomotive”. He sold the ” Bligh Wat ch ma n” pl a nt t o K en neth Mu r ch ison , t he lo c a l auc t ione er and commission agent. Murchison acted as the ed it or, wh i le E l i sh a Douglas took care of the mechanical side of things. Tom Clare was taken on as the second apprentice after Ernest Wise left. In those days, journalists wrote very d i r e c t ly a nd t o t he point. If they held strong views on a subject, they expressed them in no uncertain terms. O n read i ng some papers contemporary to the “Bligh Watchman”, I find it a wonder more jou r na l ists were not charged with libel! Early copies of the “Bligh Watchman” would give a frank insight into life in the town at the time. Un for tu nat ely, none of them have survived. It appears that
every office which was occupied had a fire at some time or another, de st r oy i n g t he bac k copies. In NSW State Library, the ea rl iest of these papers begin in 1898. Even these copies give a fascinating account of what was happening and, more importantly, how people were thinking then. A n a r ticle i n the “ Tow n a nd C ou nt r y Jou r na l”, w r itten by a journalist who was passing through, sums up Coonabarabran at the end of the 70s very well. (Coonabarabran, As It was in the Beginning Joy Pickette and Mervyn Campbell “ The thriving t ow nsh ip of wh ich we fou nd ou rselves t emp ora r y r e sident s is planted on the right bank of the Castlereagh River, not more than 20 miles from its source. “The water supply is fresh and abundant, the channel exhibiting the cool trickling stream, not far removed from the mountain rill stage and, as such, superior in genuine purity to that of the broad channel through plain and forest into which the winding river afterwards widens. “ N o e v id e n c e w a s wanting that the trade of the pioneer settlement was prog ressive a nd increasing. “The character of the buildings, the number and avocation of the inhabitants, the air of
employment, all point to that conclusion...the gardens in the immediate neighbourhood of the town, in the growth of trees and the abundance of fruit, speak well for the soil and climate. “Many of the houses of the f ree sele ct ors a r e subst a nt i a l a nd wel l bui lt dwellings, with good fencing and the usual evidence of profitable holdings. “The squattages, are amongst the largest, and mostly highly improved in the north-west, the f a m o u s G a r r aw i l l a , B or nmera h (sic) a nd others being within a reasonable distance. “The church buildings, neat and ornamental, show that no religious apathy exists among the various denominations . “The usual number of neat cottages preceding the v i l la stage were noticed, and from what appeared on the outer surface, we would gather that rarely was a country town more free from party feeling and the unpleasant partisanship which, sooner or later, at t ack s a s o c iet y s o situated”. Although there had been hard times in the 70s, there had also been good times. In most ways, life in Coonabarabran was becoming easier and more pleasant by the end of the decade.

Tag along: women’s league need players Following a recent decline in membership, the Coonabarabran Unicorns ladies league tag team is endeavoring to recruit new players and rebuild its roster. by GEORGIA SPENCE On ly a few mo re women are required, as there are currently 13 f u l l y - c o m m i t t e d players, with 18 listed on the team list. Rebuilding the team to compete would uphold a sense of pride in the Coonabarabran ladies league tag. F o l l o w i n g a promising beginning
to the year, the recent drop in par ticipation has been at t r ibuted to va r ious individual c o m m i t m e n t s , i n c l u d i n g u n i ve r s i t y studies and medical conditions. The league-tag team welcomes individuals of all skill levels and ages, emphasising inclusivity in a non-contact sports environment.
AROUND THE TRAPS WEDNESDAY GOLF The boys are still ruling the roost on Wednesdays, with Steve Jones winning the stableford event contested on 13 March. Steve recorded a score of 34 points on a count back from John Dawson, also on 34 points. Lou Dowsett represented the girls, coming in third. Lou played the shot of the day, with her drive on the 17th landing on the top of what resembled an eagle’s nest. After some debate between her playing partners, she was allowed a drop away from the ‘nest’ without penalty. This eagle’s nest was reported to a volunteer who jumped to attention, drove to the club and painstakingly removed the pile of sticks to a spot well and truly out of play. We thank this particular volunteer, whose name will remain anonymous – but you are still our champion. Yesterday we competed in another stableford. Results in next week’s Times.

Within team spor ts there is often a sense of camaraderie. Joining a team sport can encourage fitness, confidence and cooperation. F ra n k i e Ca p ewe l l, the coach of the league -tag team, said the players had provided him w ith a refreshed attitude towards football and coaching.
“T h ey a re a g re at bunch of girls – they have a lot of fun and all click. They are like a l it tle fami ly at the moment,” Mr Capewell said. “ I have coach ed since 1999 and I can provide an emphasis on s k i l l s. T he re i s no p r e s s u r e . We d o n’ t care if we win or lose. “If we get a side I would be proud.
VETERANS’ GOLF Tuesday 12 March Eight veteran golf e r s to o k pa r t in the Coonabarabran Golf Club’s Tuesday competition on 12 March, which was played on the back nine holes. The day’s winner was Geoff Gasior with a net
36, and the runner up was Mick Noy with a net 42. Nearest to the pin went to M. Noy, Bob Guichelaar and Andy Galvin. Keep smiling when golfing. W.B.
WEEKEND GOLF The handicapper has finally caught up with Kat Christoff, who again blew the field away with 42 points last Saturday. For that, the handicapper took four shots of her in one go, which now puts her on 36. Kat started the year on a handicap of 52 and, in two-and-a-half months she has lost 16 shots. And that deserves a mighty big clap and pat on the back! Well done Kat. Ball winners were Z Holcombe 38, S Jones 37, B Weatherall and D Moore 34. Two match plays were
completed, with S Jones winning over F Nottle, and B Weatherall taking the win from Dale. Both games were done on the 17th hole. This weekend is Mens 4BBB Par Championships where there is ‘gold’ on offer for the winners. Come and support this great sponsorship. The ladies will play a par also. Remember to come and sign up to volunteer on the course, as we have now commenced our volunteer work. Z.H.
CHICKEN RUN Sunday, 17 March The Coonabarabran Golf Club’s Sunday morning chicken run was played over the back nine on 17 March, with Dale Moore and Cody Higgins in the winners’ circle, with 27 points on a count back. Vouchers were won by Neal Percival and Wayne

Summer 6’s ends in style Coonabarabran’s Summer 6’s twilight soccer competition ended on Wednesday, 13 March, with a hardfought but conclusive grand final played between Zingerboxes and McChickens. To have the privilege of playing in the grand final, the two successful teams had dealt with the 499ers, Underdogs and Grand High Toppers during the finals’ series. The first several minutes of the grand final saw Zingerboxes on top early, with two on-target shots – one from Owen Fleming, which was only just saved by Jack Foster in goal, followed by a cracking long-range shot from Jack Richards, which also produced a great save from Jack Foster, who put his body on the line to hold out Zingerboxes. The game see-sawed for another few minutes before Cameron Whittall produced a scintillating shot after an intercept in mid-field, and the score sheet was finally marked. However, only seconds after this, McChickens were able to score at the other end through a typically skilful solo effort by Tristan Neilson – and the score was 1-1. From there, the McChickens seemed to have found their mojo and were making regular forays into the Zingerboxes’ half with some good chances, but no success. However, before the end of the half it was Zingerboxes who succeeded in striking again, through Cameron Whittall, and holding out to end the half 2-1. The second half saw some great action, but it was clear that McChickens were running out of puff, with two goals for the Zingerboxes from Jack Richards, a goal from Owen Fleming and another from Cameron Whittall. Late in the game, Tristan Nielson was able to claim another for the McChickens, but the ultimate score was Zingerboxes 6, McChickens 2. The 2023-24 twilight soccer competition was deemed a success by all who played or were involved. John Whittall

Conservatorium can reignite love for music Many people think of musical lessons as an afterschool activity, but the young at heart should remember that the universal language of music is for everyone – a sentiment firmly believed by the Gunnedah Conservatorium. Adults who crave a fun singing environment are encouraged to join a Wednesday evening’s Singalongs choir delivered by the conservatorium. Marg Amos and Dominic Goodwin-Hauck are the teachers who can help develop new skills or reignite an old passion for singing with added benefits. “It is not just about singing, it about that social connection,” Gunnedah Conservatorium director Rebecca Ryan said. “During COVID and when we just couldn’t sing the Singalongs were just always asking, ‘When can we start meeting again’.” The group occasionally move their weekly rehearsal to a performance at Alkira, McAuley Nursing Home or the Boggabri MPS and is always a popular entrant in the Gunnedah Eisteddfod where they often surprise the crowd with their musical interpretation of well-known music. “We are always looking for more people to join the group,” Rebecca said. Some find the choir a good transition into other classes. A handful of singers have added individual lessons for singing, saxophone and piano to their itinerary with plenty more on offer. For those who prefer to quietly appreciate music rather than the thrill of performing, the Gunnedah Conservatorium also brings world-class acts to its region.
We try to make our music program really accessible. We keep an affordable ticket price. REBECCA RYAN Estampa’s beautiful folk jazz sounds will fill the Gunnedah Town Hall this Thursday night, which is just one of the many performances on offer for this year’s program. “We try to make our music program really accessible,” Rebecca said. “We keep an affordable ticket price.” She mentioned the cost of two concession tickets may be similar to one at city price. Later in the year will see an increase in matinee performances for the audience who prefer being home in the evening. “We try to make our concerts quite accessible,” Rebecca said. The events have an atmosphere that country communities pull off quite well, often with nibbles paired with drinks and sometimes an opportunity to mingle with the artists. Next month will see Sally Wilson and Mark Kruger perform before the Australian Guitar Quartet take stage in May. People interested in the conservatorium’s program can find event information on their website, Facebook page and at the Gunnedah Town Hall.

Our seniors - the people who have built what we enjoy today
T
he days when older people, nowadays more appropriately known as ‘seniors’, are expected to quietly fade away are long gone. Today’s seniors, the ‘baby boomers’, expect and demand more. They are not fading, they are busy, dynamic and active. And there are more opportunities to enjoy life - a longer life - than ever before. The issues of health traditionally associated with ageing have been largely met and managed. Our seniors are retiring from one occupation and starting a new one, launching businesses based on their invaluable life experience, travelling, mentoring, volunteering, and yes, playing golf, having a few beers when they feel like it, and of course doing the odd bit of babysitting. What do we owe our senior citizens, our parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents? We owe them thanks for the society we have today in Australia, a society which may have its flaws but which is, at its ‘worst’, infinitely better than just about
anywhere else in the Western world. Today’s society which we enjoy has been paid for by our earlier generations who are very much part of our world today. We owe them respect and dignity. We owe it to them to listen to their advice and opinions. We can learn from our seniors. As Mark Twain said, “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I
was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” We owe it to them to make time for them, even though we have a busy life of our own. We will expect the same in years to come. We owe it to our seniors to be their advocates and their assistants when needed. This means helping with their entry into an increasingly high tech world - and be ready to be surprised that they know much more than we may have assumed.

Important for people to look after eye health Many people associate older age with poorer vision. It’s true that there are many eye conditions which are more common in older age. However, there are many things you can do to help maintain good vision for life. How do my eyes change as I get older? As with other parts of your body, your eyes go through normal changes as you age. Presbyopia is a vision problem where you may notice it is more difficult to read things that are close by. You need to hold things further away to see them clearly. Almost all people will experience this after about age 40.
Presbyopia happens because the lens at the front of the eye becomes less flexible as you age. This makes it more difficult to focus on nearby objects. Presbyopia is treated with reading glasses, which your optometrist can prescribe. Some other eye conditions that are common in older age include: Cataracts — this is a condition that affects the lens of the eye. The lens of the eye needs to be clear for you to have good vision. If a cataract develops, the lens becomes cloudy. If cataracts significantly affect your vision, they may be treated with surgery. Glaucoma — this is a type of vision loss caused by damage to the optic
nerve (one of the nerves that connects the eye and the brain). There are many types of glaucoma, but the most common form of the disease mainly affects people over age 40. People with glaucoma don’t usually have any symptoms in its early stages. It's important to see your optometrist regularly to check if you have signs of the disease, so you can treat the condition and preserve your vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — this condition leads to a loss of central vision. AMD is caused by degeneration of the macula, a small but important part of the retina which helps with detailed vision needed for
activities such as reading and driving. AMD is usually related to ageing and commonly occurs in people over 50 years. Several treatments can slow down the progression of AMD, so it's important to identify AMD early with regular eye checks. Diabetic retinopathy— this condition affects many people with diabetes, especially those who have had diabetes for a long time. Diabetes can affect the blood vessels at the back of your eye, leading to vision loss. You can help reduce your risk of developing diabetic retinopathy by maintaining good blood sugar control and getting regular eye checks. Dry eye— this is a common
condition among all age groups, but it is especially common in older people. Dry eye happens when your tears do not provide enough lubrication for your eyes. This can lead to a range of symptoms including itchy, burning or sore eyes. There are many strategies you can use to reduce your symptoms, as well as medicines such as lubricating eye drops. Remember that your vision affects your safety and that of the people around you, so it's important for everyone that you look after the health of your eyes. This is especially true if you drive. - HEALTHDIRECT
