Plans are on the drawingboard to ensure the naturalbeauty of the Mother of DucksLagoon and Nature Reserveremains undiminished andthat facilities are upgradedfor the future.
Northern Tablelands MPAdam Marshall is throwinghis weight behind the plan,developed by Armidale Re-gional Council, to upgrade thearea and has requested theNSW Government contribute$459,182 to undertake thework.
“The Mother of Ducks La-goon and Nature Reserve isone of the most beautiful pub-lic park areas in the Guyradistrict – it is truly one of ourtourism gems,” Mr Marshallsaid.
“The reserve is rarelyempty, with locals and visi-tors coming here to enjoy thestunning natural vista whicheven in our current dry sea-son is still a beautiful sight.
“It’s also well patronised by
visitors, particularly the greynomad and RV tourism sectorand in summer its common tosee up to 20 vans parked hereeach night.”
Created as part of an Aus-tralian Bicentenary project in1988, Mr Marshall said manyof the lagoon’s facilities were
looking old and tired. A number of deficiencies
have been identified includ-ing the size of the toilet blockwhich is too small for thenumbers of visitors the lagoonattracted, not enough shadeshelters and interpretive sig-nage which requires updat-
ing. The walking tracks arealso in desperate need of im-provement, as well as a needfor public barbecue facilities.
“All of these deficienciestake away from what could beGuyra’s key attraction whichis why I’m getting fully be-hind Armidale RegionalCouncil’s upgrade plans forthe reserve,” Mr Marshallsaid.
Armidale Regional CouncilMayor and Guyra local SimonMurray said that the plannedupgrades at the lagoon wereidentified as a key priority bythe Guyra community andcouncil is happy to get behindthe idea and push for funding.
“The plans are all ready togo – we are just hoping for theStronger Country Communi-ties funding application to beapproved to start work.”
Plans include new electricbarbecues, weather-proof pic-nic tables, a brand newamenities block, signage andexpanded walking tracks.

DDuummpp ((ssoommee mmoonneeyy)) iinn tthhee DDuunnnnyyA travelling dunny is doing
the rounds of Guyra, in thelead up to the Relay for Lifewhich will be held in Armi-dale in September. After astint at the Guyra BowlingClub last week the dunnycan be found this week at theGuyra Pharmacy.
The dunny is a fun way ofraising awareness and fundsfor the relay and the ideacame from Theo Groen whois the co-chair of the Armi-dale Relay for Life.
“The idea is not new andactually came from anotherrelay,” Theo said. “We putour own spin on it and modi-fied it, and ours is a bit morerustic, more like an outdoordunny from the old days.”
“The idea is for people todonate money by putting itinto the cistern and by doingso flush cancer away,” headded. “It’s all about havinga bit of fun with what is a se-rious subject that hits closeto home for most of us.”
Relay for Life is a fun andmoving overnight experiencethat raises vital funds for theCancer Council’s research,prevention, information andsupport services. This yearthe relay will take place onthe 29th and 30th of Septem-ber at the Armidale show-ground.
Theo works as the farm as-sistant at Guyra Central
School and is keen to getGuyra involved in the event.
“We normally have severalteams entered from Guyraand now is the time to startthinking about getting somepeople together and enter-ing,” Theo said. “It’s a lot offun, with free entertainmentand this year there will be
more of an emphasis onteams providing food anddrinks as a fundraiser forthe event.”
“Not too many peoplehaven’t been affected by can-cer personally or know some-one who they care for whohas been affected. Cancerhits everybody and Relay for
Life is a very out there wayof doing something aboutthis.”
The Dunny will be inGuyra for a few more weeksso keep your eye out. It willbe at the Guyra Pharmacyuntil next Monday and willpop up somewhere else thefollowing week.

Pharmarcist Vu Nguyen and Theo Groen outside Guyra Pharmacy on Monday
Krystle Cox has thrownopen the doors on a new shopfront in Guyra to share herpassion for, and expertise in,massage therapy.
Located opposite KirksIGA and next door to SueRoss Real Estate, Krystlehas created a warm and wel-coming space where shehopes the community cancome for a range of servicesand learn the many benefitsof massage.
It is a change of directionfor Krystle, who worked as ateacher before taking timeout to start her family.
With her family in mind,she felt the need for alifestyle with less stress andbegan studying massage.The next step was to put aprofessional foot forward by
opening up the shopfront,which includes a receptionand interview area as well asa private treatment room.
“I have always been inter-ested in health and beganstudying massage a fewyears ago,” Krystle said.
“So far I have completed aCertificate IV in massagetherapy, just about finished adiploma in remedial massageand am currently working onsports massage. I am stillblown away by what I amlearning about how massagechanges your health andwellbeing.”
“The name ‘Calm yourFarm’ is a bit of a gimmickbecause after all, we are inthe country, but also it re-flects the fact that I am avery practical person,” Krys-
tle said. “I believe that mas-sage has so many benefitsand I want to be here so thatthe community can accessme and see what I do.”
“I tailor everything to myclients by having a chat, in-cluding their medical history,which allows me to cater forindividual needs. I believe intaking the natural approachand that extends to a rangeof natural products that areavailable.”
As an opening special,Krystle is offering a one-hourmassage for $50 until theend of August. You can makean appointment by phoning0411 280 326, email [email protected] or callin to 95A Bradley Street. Youwill also find her on facebookand Instagram.

$$55,,000000 ffoorr mmeenn’’ss hheeaalltthh nniigghhttA night focussing on the
health of men has received aboost with $5,000 from theNSW Government to helpadvertise the evening andprovide transport to andfrom the event.
Guyra’s Local Health Com-mittee identified men’shealth in the region as a keypriority area and the healthnight, which will be held inOctober this year, was de-signed to bring men togetherfor a relaxed evening to talkabout their health and well-being.
The funding was securedas a discretionary grant fromMinister for Health BradHazzard on behalf of theLocal Health Committeewith the help of Member forNorthern Tablelands AdamMarshall.
“I know all too well thatmen often shy away fromtalking about health issuesand tend to avoid havingbasic check-ups,” Mr Mar-shall said. “Nights like thesehelp break down that reluc-tance to speak about healthissues and give men a chance
to engage with health topicsspecific to them.”
The guest speaker on thenight will be former NRLand rugby union interna-tional Wendell Sailor who,since his retirement, hasbeen helping raise aware-ness of men’s health issues
by travelling around Aus-tralia talking about healthtopics that men still see astaboo – such as prostatehealth, testicular cancer anddepression.
There will also be presen-tations from local cliniciansand other health service
providers.The Guyra Men’s Health
Night is on 19 October at theBen Lomond Hall, with freebus transfers from Guyra.RSVP by 5 October to AlisaKennedy on 02 6738 4045 orh n e l h d - l h c g u y r a @ h n e -health.nsw.gov.au

The main objectivesthrough these tough sea-sonal conditions should beyour own well-being, the wel-fare of livestock, the mainte-nance of the farm businessand the productive resourcesof the farm – soil, capital andthe genetic merit of yourlivestock.
Managing through thisseason could call for someout-of-the-ordinary stock andfarm management optionslike the use of sacrifice pad-docks or confined paddockfeeding.
A sacrifice paddock is anarea that can be intensivelystocked for feeding purposes.
Feeding in sacrifice pad-docks has a number of ad-
vantages. It will allow you toobserve stock more closely asalternative feeds are intro-duced, it prevents stock fromwalking off condition, con-tains the spread of weedseeds from outsourced fodderand saves the farm’s pastureresource for spring growth.
Consider using one ormore paddocks or temporar-ily fencing off parts of pad-docks for use as ‘feeding out’areas. Suitable paddocks arethose:
• where the pasture is de-graded and due for resowingor cropping;
• with a predominance ofannual species and good soilseed reserves;
• that have access for feed-
ing operations even after itrains and are well drained;and
•that are not too steep tocause excessive run-off afterrain.
Try to avoid using valu-able pasture paddocks asfeeding out areas. Paddocksthat have significant cover ofperennial pasture plants (es-pecially if the cover consistsof native perennial grassspecies) should be avoided.
With high stock numbersplenty of good quality waterwill need to be provided.Dams may need to be fencedoff and the water piped intotroughs to avoid stock bog-ging or fouling this increas-ingly precious resource.
The other benchmark tokeep in mind is ground cover.Too little and soil erosion canbe a problem when it rains.The suitable level dependson slope, likely rainfall in-tensity and soil type, but asa guide for the Tablelands,85 – 90%, on the Slopes 70 –80% would be appropriate.By maintaining adequategroundcover, weed invasionafter drought will be re-duced.

July 11th - There was a further re-duc�on in numbers of both sheepand lambs with supply decreasing,indica�ve of the season. There weresmall lines of most classes with alarge varia�on in condi�on, weightand fat scores. Despite the smallnumbers, the regular buyers at-
tended.Demand was strong for all lamb
classes, except for the very plain lightweights. There were significant priceimprovements throughout all classesof lambs to process. Trends were sig-nificantly dearer, although the lownumbers make a dollar per head im-
provement difficult.The low number of sheep penned
varied in both breed and qualityfrom last week. Heavy sheep werewell supported and sold to a dearertrend with significant price improve-ment, in line with increased weightand condi�on. All the Merino sheep
were shorn and in varying finishedstages. They also sold to dearertrends.
NOTE: There will be no Sale onWednesday 18th July 2018 andsales will be held fortnightly un�lfurther no�ce. The Next sheep andlamb sale will be on 25th July 2018
July 12th - Numbers increased thisweek with a larger number of vealerspenned and the usual buyers present.Majority of those ca�le purchasedgoing to restockers and feedlo�ers.There were limited supplies of year-lings, grown ca�le and just over 100head of cows. The quality of the vealerswas generally good with well-bred linescomprising the bulk. There were a smallnumber of vealers and yearlings goodenough to suit trade buyers. There wasalso great varia�on in quality throughthe cows.
Restocker and feeder buyers wereac�ve through the young ca�le. Thequality of vealer steers to restock con-tributed to increased prices on a dearermarket trend. Differences in both breedand quality played a role in price vari-ability. Medium weights were as muchas 21c/kg dearer in places, while the
heavier weights were only slightlydearer. Heifer vealers to all markets soldto cheaper trends of 10c to 20c/kg,with some improved quality lines mak-ing less than the best from the previousweek. The market trend was 10c to20c/kg cheaper. Limited supplies ofmedium and heavy weight yearlingfeeder steers sold to cheaper trends.Well finished trade heifer yearlings soldto a dearer trend of 8c to 9c/kg.
There were insufficient grown steersor heifers to quote. Once again, the cowmarket showed improvement. Therewere strong gains throughout, most no-�ceable being plainer types andmedium weight cows. The best of theheavy weights were dearer by 7c/kg.Overall, the average quality of the cowsimproved, resul�ng in those muchhigher averages. The best of the heavybulls also sold to a dearer trend.
July 13th - This week markedthe final selling week prior to the3 week mid-year recess. The mar-ket opened on a tenta�ve note onWednesday but as the day pro-gressed buyer sen�ment im-proved. This carried through tothe Thursday where the marketclosed out the day slightly dearer.
As has been men�oned previ-ously in this report the selec�onwas mixed in style and qualitywhich lead to substan�al price dif-ferences seen across microns. It isworth no�ng, as this irregularitycan impact on the nature of theway the market is quoted. Thequote may not necessarily alwaysgive you the true indica�on of themarket on your specific type ofwool.
With the market having come
back off the high of a fortnight agoand the improved tone seen at theend of the week, exporters willhopefully have a be�er opportu-nity to do some business over therecess.
The fundamentals that havedriven the market up in the last 12months s�ll remain. Supply of ap-parel wool around the world ispredicted to be lower and stocklevels remain at moderate levels.Demand by all accounts is stable.With the quality of the selec�onbeing impacted due to the poorseasonal condi�ons, compe��onfor the well prepared and goodspec lots will be strong.
Wool Sales will resume on theweek beginning the 6th August.

SSeemmii ffiinnaallss iinn ssiigghhtt ffoorr SSppuuddssThe Super Spuds climbed to
second spot with the semi fi-nals in sight after a landmarkwin over Warialda at Warialdaon Saturday.
Traditionally one of thetoughest away trips for Guyrasides, the signs were ominouswhen the Wombats scored first,but that was the last time thehome side threatened in thefirst half.
Guyra hit back and hit backhard with tries to Jack Mooney,Dan Vidler, Ben Vidler andDan again to set up a 20-4 leadand show off one of the team'sbest halves of the year.
To complete it, DJ Pattersonwas offered a gift after the belland took it.
He scooped up a loose passand ran 70m to score and ex-tend the lead to 26-4.
The points seemed to be inthe bag, but a worrying holesuddenly opened up in that bagas Warialda surged back withthree tries to cut the margin tosix.
Fortunately Corey Torrenssewed it up for the Spuds witha try and a try assist in quicktime.
He kicked wide for Pattersonto catch and score his secondand Torrens then did it all him-self with a slicing run to theline.
Warialda scored late but the36-24 win was enough forGuyra to leap-frog the Wom-bats into second behind Uralla.
Torrens was Geoffrey BellPlayers' Player while the Vi-dler brothers, Tom Cleaver andBeau Orchard were all out-
standing.It might have been a double
success for Guyra on the dayafter a massive effort from theSpudettes in trying circum-stances.
They had only 10 players tocall on and went 4-nil downearly in the leaguetag clash.
However, the kicking andrunning game of Kia Blaircame to the fore in a big wayand changed the game.
Her first high kick found
space and she re-gathered andscored and her second bombforced an error and she ran inher second.
It was 8-all at the break butNatalie Hammond overcamean early injury to cut throughthe Warialda line and streakaway to score and set up a 14-8lead.
Eventually the hot weatherand lack of players caught upwith the Spudettes and Wari-alda scored three times in the
last 15 minutes to win it 30-14,but it was a tremendous effortfrom Guyra.
Blair was players' player butall 10 players stood tall.
Guyra has a bye this week-end but the golf day on Sundayis a chance for players and fansto show off a different set ofskills.
The three-player ambrosecosts $25 per player and teamscan enter at the club or on theday.
