VOTE NONE No election needed: There were nine nominations for the nine shire councillor positions, and five of them are women

Rising above drought and pandemic PAGE 7 Community to provide feedback on bridge removal plans COMMUNITY members will get a chance to voice their concerns about the removal of the pedestrian rail bridge at an Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) public session next week. ARTC has announced that the Narromine pedestrian rail bridge will be relocated to the Richmond Vale Railway Museum in the Hunter Valley. Chairman of the Narromine Aviation Museum, Peter Kierath, is concerned about the justiﬁcation of the relocation which he says “would be taking away one of the major historical assets of the town square”. Mr Kierath said the bridge was put up in 1917 and has been in place over 100 years. He said he was sceptical about the reasoning for its removal, feeling that the bridge’s historical and cultural value was being overlooked. Continued page 3

PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR By NATASHA MAY THERE will be no local government elections for the Narromine Shire Council as the council received nine nominations for its nine councillor positions. Jane Redden, the general manager of the Narromine Shire Council, said the Council had made a “declaration of an uncontested election”. Mrs Redden believed the last time an uncontested elec-

tion occurred was in 2004. The nine councillors have been declared elected, but their term won’t begin until December 4, the date of elections in other Local Government Areas across the state where the positions are being contested. The nine councillors will be made up of four current councillors – Craig Davies, Dawn Collins, Les Lambert and Lyn Jablonski – carrying over their positions, as well

as ﬁve new councillors. The newly elected councillors are Diane Beaumont, Lachlan Roberts, Ewen Jones, Casey Forrester and Adine Hoey. Mrs Redden said she believes this will be a historic moment for council with “the ﬁ rst time there will be more women than men on the council”. Outgoing councillors Robert McCutcheon, James Craft and Colin Hamilton did not

run for a second term. The election of the mayor, deputy mayor and their committee members will occur at the ﬁ rst council meeting in December. Mrs Redden said they would then enter into a strategic planning process with the new council. That involves a review of the community strategic plan and community consultation to set priorities for the councillors’ term.

With 11 other regions selected to participate, the Drought Resilience Leaders Development Program is an $11 million investment led by the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation (ARLF). The program seeks individuals over the age of 18 who are interested in becoming part of a national network of people equipped to meet future challenges and contribute to the growing resilience of regional communities. In Western NSW, it includes – but is not limited to – the shires of Dubbo, Cobar, Bourke, Central Darling, Bogan, Lachlan and surrounding regions

Dr Anika Molesworth is a passionate advocate for sustainable farming, environmental conservation and climate change action. She will lead the program in Western NSW. “Leadership looks and means something different to every person,” Dr Molesworth said. “Learning leadership skills helps you shape your story and the future of this region.” A 2017 NSW Finalist for Young Australian of the Year, Dr Molesworth un-

Local sub-branch to remember the fallen

Call for feedback on bridge removal plan From page 1

By LUCIE PEART NARROMINE RSL Subbranch will today (Thursday, November 11) pay tribute to those who served on the battlefields, at the local Remembrance Day service. Sub-branch members have been busy in the past week, selling badges and raising funds for the RSL Poppy Appeal. Remembrance Day commemorates the signing of the armistice agreement between German and allied forces in 1918 – signalling an end to World War I. NSW RSL president Ray James said “millions of Australians have personal connections to our nation’s significant military history, either as a current or former serving defence member or as the relative of someone who served”. “Through the simple act of pausing for a minute’s silence at 11am, we can all come together to reflect and remember those who have given their lives in service to their country, those who have come home injured

or ill, and those who bravely serve the country today,” said Mr James. “Australia’s shared history binds us; it strengthens our sense of identity

and uniﬁes us.” Read more from the local Remembrance Day service in next week’s edition of the Narromine Star.

The ARTC’s notice said that their organisation and “our specialist consultants have identiﬁed track safety and reliability issues as the Narromine Pedestrian Overbridge has passed its structural design life”. The notice added “the presence of the bridge is preventing critical track maintenance, as well as preventing an upgrade of the nearby pedestrian crossing”. Mr Kierath says that when they say the bridge is past its use by date it’s because the ARTC took all the timber and steps out of the bridge. Moreover he is not satisﬁed with the solution proposed by ARTC to relocate the bridge to the Richmond museum. “If they’re decided they’re going to pull it down, we’ve got to think about whether we can reinstall it somewhere else,” said Mr Kierath. He suggested it could be re-erected over the turntable so that people can walk up and see the railway line, or go out at the wetlands and give people an aerial view of the lakes and the wetlands. The ARTC are holding an informal community information and feedback session next week about the issues and Mr Kierath hopes there will be a big turnout at the meeting in order to show strong community concern regarding the relocation.

ART ON SHOW

A bloomin’ lovely exhibition By NATALIE LEWIS THE latest exhibition of regional collective Fresh Arts is flourishing on the walls of Narromine’s Soul Food Depot and Gallery, providing a burst of colour for the popular eatery. The group’s vice president and publicity officer Pauline Griffiths said the exhibition has a spring theme, ‘Bloomin Fresh’, and is on display until Christmas. Mrs Griffiths said it’s a wonderful location for the exhibition. “Mel Hamilton has been really generous with her space and is very obliging to have the works on display,” she said. “We’ve done two exhibitions there previously. It’s a very popular spot and it’s great to see a great big white wall with lots of colour.” The works are all for sale and the artists are all from the local region. “We’ve got people from Dubbo, Narromine, Wellington and Gilgandra,” Mrs Griffiths said. “Fresh Arts is for anybody who likes art, who dabbles in any medium – from printmaking to installations, even photography.” Subjects include flow-

Mrs Griffiths encour-

ages residents to come in, have a look around, shop local and “support local business”. The exhibiting artists are Rhonda Vang, Pauline Griffiths, Jayne Bleechmore, Leanne Tremain, Rae Ayling, Helen Davis, Stuart Vorias, Alleyne Graham, Sandra Gaffney, Judy Shaloub, Lou Linsay, Kathy Morgan, Sally Noble, Noelene Rawson, Felicity Rostron, Ruth Roberts and Dianne Saunders.

Much-needed overtaking lanes on Mitchell Highway delayed By NATALIE LEWIS “THERE’S not enough overtaking lanes and everybody is impatient.” That’s A1 Freight owner Steve Johnston’s take on the Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Narromine where promised overtaking lanes have been delayed. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the $30 million plan for three new overtaking lanes, widening and safety improvements is yet another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic. “COVID shutdowns, as well as higher than average winter rainfall, delays to property acquisition and environmental investigations have all contributed to the overall delay,” he said. Crews were also diverted to emergency road repairs and other projects. Mr Saunders was “bitterly disappointed” to see the project delayed, as he has rallied for a safer, more efficient route since his 2019 election campaign. As a daily user of the 39 kilometre stretch of highway, A1 Freight’s Mr Mr Johnston believes the entire road needs to be upgraded. “Overtaking lanes – that will be a good start,” he told

Delayed: It’s hoped the additional overtaking lanes will improve traffic flow between Narromine and Dubbo.

Narromine Star. “It’s just so busy in the morning and the afternoon and everybody is in a rush. Silly people are overtaking at silly spots. Overtaking lanes will take care of some of that.” Pauline Griffiths is a resident in the North Burrabadine Rd area where she says residents are concerned

by a lack of safety and the need for a turning lane. She agrees that more overtaking lanes are needed. “There’s quite a few bends travelling to Narromine,” she said. “In harvest season, you end up behind big vehicles. It needs to be looked at well and truly.” Mr Saunders will contin-

ue to push for the project to be undertaken in the near future. “I know how important these upgrades are for the community. I fought hard to ensure they would happen for every single person that drives this road. I will continue pushing to make sure there are no further delays, and these safety improvements are delivered as soon as possible.” The topic was on the Narromine Shire Council agenda at its October meeting where councillors resolved to notify Transport for NSW that the intended project area is classiﬁed as community land so they will need to formally acquire the three lots under current legislation. The new overtaking lanes will be installed eastbound at Tantitha, between High Park Road and Tantitha Road and Lagoon Creek, and on both sides of the Lagoon Creek Bridge at Mylangra, west of Dubbo. The section of highway 11 kilometres from the outer limits of Narromine to Brummagen Road will also be widened as part of the project. Work is expected to start in the ﬁ rst quarter of next year.

Woman charged after alleged glassing incident A WOMAN will face court next month after an alleged glassing incident last week. Police say that at about 11.35pm on Friday, November 5, two separate groups were seated inside a pub in Narromine when a verbal altercation broke out. It is alleged that a woman threw a number of cans at the group before throwing a glass at a 22-year-old woman’s head. Staff contacted police who attended a short time later. The 22-year-old woman was taken to Narromine Hospital for treatment for lacerations to her head and face. Following enquiries, about 4.25pm on Sunday, November 7, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District arrested the 44-year-old woman at a home in Narromine. She was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The woman was given conditional bail to appear at Narromine Local Court on Tuesday, December 7. Orana Mid-Western Police District crime manager, Detective Chief Inspector Denise Godden, urged the community to drink responsibly as summer approaches and gatherings with friends become more frequent. “Police will continue proactive operations as the Summer Safe campaign continues across the region,” Det Ch Insp Godden said. “Summer Safe is a state-wide high-visibility strategy which will focus policing resources on crime prevention, alcohol-related crime, anti-social behaviour and road safety.”

Temporary vet clinic closure hurting local pet owners By BROOKE CHANDLER THE reduction in available consultations at Narromine Veterinary Hospital since August has made assured pet care increasingly difficult for locals. Located on Peak Hill Road, the clinic was managed by Don Crosby’s Vet Surgeons team in Dubbo for over 25 years and is now part of Apiam Animal Health, a network of rural and regional vet clinics. A combination of the need for a single team during COVID-19 and a critical shortage of vets across Australia were the reasons for the clinic’s closure, said Apiam Animal Health Vet and Regional Lead Kate Howison. “The local team of vets and nurses that the people of Narromine know and trust, including Sara and Jordy and vets Dr Don Crosby and Stephanie Dunlop, understand that it is challenging not to have vets available in Narromine and realise that this can impact on the most important animal members of local families.” According to Ms Howison, the absence of a vet in Narromine is temporary. Until they are able to employ vets for the clinics, “both Dubbo and Narromine locals can speak to nurses and schedule a future appointment within open hours of the Dubbo clinic”. “After hours, our triage nurses are there to arrange an emergency appointment if required,” Ms Howison told the Narromine Star. “Accessing and providing a high standard of care is always a

high priority for this profession. Dubbo and Narromine are no different,” she added. However, the half-hour commute to Dubbo has been immensely challenging for many local pet owners. Just last week, Ashah Shephard was unable to save her Neo Cross Mastiff, Frankie, from a brown snake bite. “If there were a vet in Narromine he might have survived,” Ms Shephard said. “We could only sit with him and watch as he suffered.” Carlie Haylan holds similar concerns. Her working guide dog, Kaia, required regular vet checks and with the inability to drive, Ms Haylan is struggling to manage the commute. Sara McGilchrist worked as a vet nurse at Narromine Veterinary Hospital for almost 20 years. A mother of two young children, Ms McGilchrist has experienced a reduction in work hours. “I can only work school hours,” Ms McGilchrist told the Narromine Star. “Travelling an hour a day to work at the Dubbo clinic makes what I can do a lot less efficient.” High levels of stress are another problem the industry faces. A recent report by SBS Insight revealed vets are almost four times more likely to take their own lives than the general public. Having witnessed the demands of this industry, Ms McGilchrist said the ﬁ ndings did not surprise her. “Veterinarians, particularly those based rurally, work ex-

tremely hard. They see, deal and are responsible for the health and wellbeing of so many different species as well as providing veterinary care after hours,” Ms McGilchrist added. Ms Howison said an after-hours vet triage system developed and provided by Apiam Animal Health supports both vets and clients. “We also take mental health support very seriously and (help is) available in every clinic. We have partnered with Smiling Minds recently and are very much aware of balancing good patient and staff care.” Director of Kookaburra Veterinary Employment, Wendy Nathan, conﬁ rmed there are currently 816 job vacancies with 124 of these in regional NSW. “The surge in ‘covid puppies (and kittens)’ and even ‘covid pocket pets, reptiles and birds’ has exacerbated the problem,” Ms Nathan said. Amongst these very challenges, Don Crosby Vet Surgeons and Apiam Animal Health say they are committed to implementing the options needed to reopen the Narromine clinic. f If you or someone you know needs support, please call: 131114 – Lifeline, lifeline.org.au 1300 224636 – Beyond Blue, beyondblue.org.au/forums

Community forum for mining operation By NATALIE LEWIS AS a public platform, the Tomingley Gold Operations Community Consultative Committee (TGO CCC) allows local representatives to meet regularly with operators to discuss concerns and ideas. TGO Environment and Community manager David Pritchard (pictured) said the committee’s purpose is to provide a forum for open dialogue between TGO and the CCC representatives, which consist of local community members, stakeholder groups and Narromine Shire Council, on issues directly relating to the project. “The committee has been operational since we commenced,” he explained. “Members of the community can contact a representative on the CCC who are able to bring forward any items they wish raised on their behalf.” Mr Pritchard said a CCC is generally a government requirement for State Signiﬁcant Projects across NSW.

“It is often stipulated for major developments,” he said, adding that a CCC operates under set guidelines. “The TGO CCC meets four times a year. There is a set format for the committee meetings and meeting are run by an independent chair.” Members consist of a mix of people who live locally or are part of a stakeholder group. There are members of the Aboriginal and broader communities as well as Council representation. Mr Pritchard said meetings consist of an operational update, general enquiries and discussion about funding applications. “I provide an update on site operations and the Committee discuss any other matters that are relevant at that time,” he said. For more information about the TGO CCC, visit Consultative Committee – Alkane Resources Ltd at www.alkane.com.au. f Tomingley Gold Operations is a Foundation Supporter of Narromine Star.

Have your say on how we remember our rail bridge Who is ARTC?

Have your say

Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) manages the seamless delivery of hundreds of freight and passenger trains across our network every day. We value safety, wellbeing and actively engage with our community.

We are keen to hear from you on how the bridge could be showcased at the museum, and as a permanent reminder at Narromine, to ensure the bridge continues to serve the local community. Suggestions include an information board, a memorial plaque as well as archival recording.

At ARTC, our people play an important role in maintaining high standards of rail track conditions to allow safer, more reliable, and efficient operations.

What has happened so far? ARTC and our specialist consultants have identified track safety and reliability issues as the Narromine Pedestrian Overbridge has passed its structural design life. Also, the presence of the bridge is preventing critical track maintenance, as well as preventing an upgrade of the nearby pedestrian crossing.

Cultural Heritage In recognising the historical significance of this bridge, and as part of our ongoing commitment to preserving our rail heritage, ARTC has identified an opportunity to relocate and restore the bridge to be a part of the Richmond Vale Rail working museum in the Hunter Valley.

It is important to us that we can provide you with more information on this project and we understand what the bridge means to you.

How can you be involved? You are invited to drop into our informal community information and feedback session from 2pm Monday 15 November 2021 at Narromine United Services Memorial Club 58 Dandaloo St, Narromine. At this event you will be able to talk directly to members of the project team and provide us with your valuable feedback. For more information about this important project, to provide feedback or ask any questions please contact Ozark, our engagement consultant. Phone: 02 6882 0118 Email: catherine@ozarkehm.com.au.

ARTC is committed to working with landowners, communities, state and local governments as a vital part of our planning and consultation work, and we value your input. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know. If you would like more detailed information about the relocation of the pedestrian rail bridge, please contact Catherine from OzArk on (02) 6882 0118 or email catherine@ozarkehm.com.au

Boarding Schools Expo keeps its regional address By BROOKE CHANDLER THE Boarding Schools Expo is all about taking the time and stress out of ﬁ nding the right school. Founder Meg Bennett was looking for the same thing when she listed the business for sale earlier this year– someone to take over the time and stress of the 17-year-old business. Ms Bennett has established a household brand, built ongoing connections with hundreds of boarding schools nationwide, and assisted 460 attendee children in 2019 alone. Becoming a grandmother was the catalyst of her decision to sell and “of course it was important that the right individual bought it”, Ms Bennett said. Ms Bennett approached Narromine farmer, strategic developer, marketer and communicator, Amanda Ferrari, and explained that the business may be of interest to her. “This particular busi-

“After selling my other businesses, I was looking for a new challenge” – Amanda Ferrari ness has certainly been on my radar for a few years,” Ms Ferrari told the Narromine Star. “After selling my other businesses, I was looking for a new challenge.” Although there were other individuals and corporations interested, the settlement of Ms Ferrari’s ownership of the business took place on September 20. “I think I’m really lucky to have purchased a business where the owner is still really passionate and emotionally invested,” Ms Ferrari added. “Two peas in a pod” is how Ms Bennett and Ms Ferrari describe their

relationship. “It is in the best hands ever,” Ms Bennett said. “It is lovely for me to be dealing with someone who totally gets the business.” Since taking over the business, Ms Ferrari says she has been very busy with the launching of their new digital expo. “On top of that, we’ve established a new podcast called Destination Boarding. That’ll really focus on sharing the good stories of boarding from across the generations.” With several event dates in place for next year, the Boarding Schools Expo will continue to give back to regional communities. “There’s a lot that goes into the Dubbo Expo, for example,” Ms Bennett said. “You could have 37 boarding schools under one roof. It can literally bring hundreds of people into a town. They need accommodation, meals and entertainment. So, the Expo can be a huge calendar date.”

Manufacturing precinct to create opportunity By NATALIE LEWIS NARROMINE’S status as an advanced manufacturing precinct will propel the township into the future, according to Mayor Craig Davies. Reacting to the State Government’s announcement of the relocation of West Australian-based Simmons Global to Narromine, as part of the $130 million Regional Job Creation Fund, Cr Davies echoed the sentiments of Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders in describing the move as a “game changer” for the local district. “It’s not just about 250 jobs – it’s the level of technology attached to those jobs that will raise the technology level across the Shire,” Cr Davies told the Narromine Star. “We are looking at a range of industry being introduced to this town, including the manufacture of drones which is very high tech.” Cr Davies said the technology-based industry gives young people learning opportunities in their home town they would normally have to pursue further aﬁeld. “It gives us an opportunity to reach that level of skill in the Shire,” he said. Economic diversity is another strength offered by the

Simmons Global CEO and group technical director David Simmons. advanced manufacturing precinct, in an area where agriculture has traditionally been the stronghold. “Because we are an agricultural economy, we suffer the vagaries of weather conditions which has an impact on the retail sector. “This will change the market place and gives us a diversity of industry,” Cr Davies said. “This level of technology is rare to ﬁ nd in regional areas. For Narromine to get a project of this nature is amazing; we are very fortunate.” On the premise of like attracts like, Cr Davies said this will also boost development and external interest in the Shire’s capacity. “It will attract industry to the Shire, they will be attracted by the numbers of symbiotic relationships, understanding with State Government and other busi-

nesses and that will have a far-reaching effect on a range of levels of technology in the Shire. It’s exactly what we’ve been waiting for.” Cr Davies said Council had been very involved in helping Simmons Global proprietor David Simmons fi nd a location, with Narromine Aerodrome selected for the development and an application ready for submission. “Some of David’s stuff is military-level drones and some of it will be high security. “It fits into our economy beautifully, and is concurrent with aerodrome use.” Cr Davies said “the DA is 99 per cent ready”. “We’ve approved the land sale. Very shortly, it will go through the planning department,” he explained. With a plethora of approvals currently underway and the Christmas holidays quickly approaching, it’s expected that work on the new project will begin in February 2022. Employment, education and residential housing growth are all positive roll-on effects flagged by the Shire. “It’s wonderful to see what David (Simmons) will bring. And the day the DA is approved is the day he will begin work.”

Rural girl rises from drought and pandemic calamity By BROOKE CHANDLER FOR Narromine local Chantelle Walsh, moving from home to university was not a matter of if, but when. With a 2019 Higher School Certiﬁcate under her belt, Ms Walsh knew she wanted to further her passion of education, history and Indigenous Australian culture. She secured a spot in Charles Sturt University’s Bachelor of Arts program and began to think of what her life will be like living off the Bathurst campus. “But in early 2020, it all came crashing down,” Ms Walsh said. “The ongoing drought had a dire effect on my family’s stock farm. We couldn’t afford moving me to university and then, COVID hit.” Not enough feed and dying cattle meant Ms Walsh’s father “was always exhausted”. “The struggle and stress of the situation was mentally taxing for him,” Ms Walsh explained. The 20-year-old was left with no choice but to remain on the family farm, transition to an online mode of study and take up a casual job as a labourer. “At ﬁ rst I wasn’t worried about studying online because everyone was sent home during COVID. But after 18 months, I started to miss the connections I would’ve made on campus.” A typical week for Ms Walsh included “working two to

three days a week at Enza Zaden and the rest was dedicated to studying. “But I think having me home was a blessing in disguise,” Ms Walsh added. “Not only was I helping my family out at home, pretty soon it started to rain again and everything turned green.” A hallmark of her personality, Ms Walsh dedicated herself into the many leadership roles available at Charles Sturt University. “At Narromine High School, I was in the SRC as well as a

Senior Mentor with the Girls Academy. I nominated myself for the university’s Online SRC and now, 12 months on, I am the vice-president, publications and social media officer, and the clubs liaison officer.” The Social Club, a fresh asset to the university, hosts multiple online games for members. “We host regular game nights where online, internal and international students from Australia and across the world join for an hour of fun,” Ms Walsh said.

Ms Walsh’s lockdown pen pal initiative has also been a huge success for The Social Club, with over 50 students paired all around the world. “I thank technology for the relationships I have still managed to make throughout both the drought and the pandemic.” With hopes of becoming a qualiﬁed high school teacher, Ms Walsh is determined to give back to the rural community she holds dearly. “Narromine is a small community,” Ms Walsh said. “I

probably know most people I walk past in the street. But I think it will always feel like home – cosy and comfortable.” Ms Walsh may be able to make the move to Charles Sturt’s Bathurst campus early next year. “No doubt, working and studying at the same time is difficult. But due to my recent course results, I feel like things are ﬁ nally looking up!”

Big break for The Rural Trader, Kat Porter By BROOKE CHANDLER LAST week, Nevertire local and founder of The Rural Trader, Kat Porter, won the Buy From The Bush’s (BFTB) Big Break People’s Choice Award. Valued at $15,000, the BFTB award will assist Ms Porter in rebuilding the town’s previously rundown general store into a vibrant local store, cafe and community hub. Ms Porter’s dreams for The Rural Trader took a signiﬁcant blow following a ﬁerce storm in December 2020 that caused extensive damage to the store’s structure. After pitching her way into the hearts of the voters, Ms Porter says the BFTB award will assist the store’s major renovations that are currently underway. “I’m so incredibly grateful and humbled by the support, not only from our community, but also from

people around Australia who believe in me and my idea for The Rural Trader,” Ms Porter said. Warren Shire Council General Manager, Gary Woodman, says Kat’s vision to create a space for the community and give locals the opportunity to showcase their skills will be a fantastic contribution to the Shire. “Kat’s passion, enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit to showcase the many talents of our tightknit community is an invaluable asset to our region, and we are thrilled this has been recognised through the BFTB Big Break competition.” Amongst the pouring of candles, packing orders and renovating, Ms Porter is also helping with the harvest on her family farm. “It’s an exciting time for Nevertire and Warren Shire and I can’t wait to open our doors in 2022.”

Cooler temps in October, above median rainfall for November By BROOKE JACOBSON COOLER than average temperatures and below average rainfall characterised October across the central west. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) recorded cooler temperatures at both its Dubbo and Trangie recording stations. Dubbo’s average daytime temperature was 23.6 degrees, which was 1.6 degrees below average, while the city’s minimum average temperature was 8.0 degrees, which was 1.5 degrees below average. BOM climatologist, Tamika Tihema, said October 23 was Dubbo’s warmest day, with temperatures reaching 31.8 degrees. “We also recorded below average rainfall for Dubbo throughout October,” she said. “Only 35.4mm fell for the month, compared to the average of 44.6mm.” Ms Tihema added Trangie also recorded cooler than average days and nights in October. “Trangie’s October daytime temperature was 24.6 degrees, which was 0.9 below average, and the month’s minimum temperature of 8.7 degrees was 1.7 degrees below average,” she said. “The warmest day for the

month in Trangie was also on the 23rd, reaching 33.4 degrees. “And Trangie recorded 33.4mm rainfall for October, lower than the average of 45.8mm.” The area’s wettest day was the 24-hour period to 9am on October 12, with 22.6mm falling in Dubbo, and 20.8mm falling in Trangie. “The passage of surface troughs and cold fronts meant the majority of the month’s rainfall was reported from the 11th to the 16th, with 34.8mm at Dubbo, and 31.4mm at Trangie over those six days,” Ms Tihema said. “There were thunderstorms over the area on the afternoon of the 23rd, but rainfall associated with the thunderstorms missed Dubbo and Trangie, falling to the north and east. “This was also the same day where both sites reported their hottest day of the month.” Ms Tihema said the region could expect more wet weather. “Looking ahead for November as a whole, rainfall is likely to be above median for Dubbo and Trangie,” she said. “Similarly, the three month period from November to January is also likely to be above median.”

Community News Narromine CWA’s commitment to education By BROOKE CHANDLER DURING their second post-COVID meeting, the Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA) solidiﬁed the details of their new Gwen Campbell Memorial Grant. The grant – named after their late president and valued member – will award $500 to a year 12 student from Narromine High School. “The student will be selected by the school,” said Narromine CWA secretary Carolyn Egan. “We are awaiting more details but we hope to present the award to the student on Speech Day.” Narromine CWA’s commitment to education does not stop there. Soon, applications for a $100 grant will be available to a year 6 student from each of the local primary schools. Discussions about next year’s crochet classes also took place at the local Anglican Hall on November 5.

“Available to the public, we hope to have these running by early next year,” explained branch president Jean Richardson. Jean Richardson was appointed the top role at the group’s previous meeting, alongside Lynn Newton as treasurer and Brenda Carter as patron. All ten members of Narromine’s CWA noted December 3 in their calendars as this year’s Christmas party date. “But in the meantime,” said Ms Egan, “we are very excited about our group conference on the 13th of this month as well as the CWA council meeting on November 30.

Kurrajong Court’s Melbourne Cup Fashion Parade Contributed by PATRICIA RILEY AFTER too many weeks in seclusion, the Melbourne Cup provided an opportunity for residents of Kurrajong Court to dress in their ﬁ nest and be entertained by staff who paraded an assortment of clothes on loan from the local Vinnies Centre. COVID regulations were very much the order of the day as brightly clad ‘security guards’ scoured the room for any infringement of the ‘double vax’ rule. Dr Ash was on hand to reward sweep winners while Heather was judged most fashionable ‘race-goer’. A run-away bunny, accompanied by Santa Claus, caused much hilarity until rounded up by the ever alert ‘security’ team.

New citizens welcomed with open arms By BROOKE CHANDLER NARROMINE has welcomed four new citizens, inducting them into the community during an official ceremony held on Thursday, November 4. Narromine Shire Council mayor Cr Craig Davies led the formal celebration for the four new Australian citizens and their proud families. Meghnaben Piyushkumar Patel, Mary Michelle Bailey, Sonima Kaipurath Kuni and Sheila Noquera were presented with their Australian Citizenship Certiﬁcates as well as a bunch of ﬂowers.

Mayor Davies said the decision to become an Australian citizen follows the desire to share the country’s dynamic and diverse society. “For these four women, today marks a new life in a new country,” Cr Davies added. “It’s an exciting occasion as they are able to share the same responsibilities and privileges as all Australians.” The ceremony concluded with the Australian National Anthem alongside well wishes from both Narromine Shire Council and those watching on. A small morning tea was also held in celebration.

Narromine Garden Club News By MARGARET KELLY NARROMINE Garden Club held our October meeting in the garden of Jodie Browning. The garden has lots of lovely trees situated to give the appearance of rooms ﬁ lled with beautiful roses. It also features lots of colour and green manicured lawns. Over 40 members attended the meeting. Due to COVID we have been unable to meet, so members took the opportunity for a day out and a get together. It was passed by members to give our yearly donation of $1000 to the Narromine Aviation Museum and we hope to hold a meeting there in the winter. Now COVID restrictions have eased, the club has organised a

few events to round out the year. This week we are going to see Sculptures in the Garden at Mudgee. Our Christmas party will be held at the USMC in late November, at which a guest speaker will give a talk on early Byron Station. After our October meeting, Ms Browning gave a talk about her garden. She said it was a bare paddock 28-years-ago and is still a work in progress. A keyring was presented to Ms Browning as a thank you from the club. We enjoyed a sandwich in the shade, a cuppa and then a leisurely stroll through the garden. It ended up being a lovely day.

Political News & Opinion Inland Rail section open in time for harvest COULTON’S CATC CH UP CATCH

Comment by MARK COULTON, Federal Member for Parkes FARMERS and producers in the north west will be able to take full advantage of the current strong agricultural export prices with a key section of the enhanced Inland Rail freight line open ahead of the grain harvest season. Upgrades to a 29-kilometre stretch of the Narrabri to North Star section of the track are now complete, on time and as promised to local growers and businesses. It was great to celebrate this with acting prime minister Barnaby Joyce in Moree last week. Opening the rail line means that traders and packers such as GrainCorp, Arrow, CHS Broadbent, and Louis Dreyfus can freight bulk grains from north west NSW for export through the Port of Newcastle and Port Botany – helping to realise Australia’s record growth in agricultural exports. ARTC is continuing the work to deliver the Narrabri to North Star phase one project with its contracting partners, north and south of the active section of track. In the next stage, between Camurra and North Star, construction is underway as stripping of the old track continues, along with earthworks, lime stabilisation and rail bridge demolition and construction work.

Out and about in Broken Hill IT was fantastic to ﬁ nally get out to Broken Hill and Silverton last week, following months of lockdown which prevented me to travelling to this part of my electorate. During my visit I met with Broken Hill mayor Darriea Turley to see and hear ﬁ rsthand just what a difference the CBD revitalisation and activation project will have on the silver city. I’m so pleased to have been able to secure $8.7 million in federal government funding for this project which is set to enhance the CBD for the better. It was also wonderful to inspect several completed projects around Broken Hill, including new lights at Alma Oval and the Norm Fox Soccer Oval, funded under the federal government’s Drought Communities Programme, and new footpaths funded through the successful Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program. I’m pleased to have been able to deliver these projects for the Broken Hill community and will continue to work to secure further funding for important upgrades like this, helping to improve the liveability and attract people to town. A key part of my visit to Broken Hill was a meeting with stakeholders and local steering committee for a drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation centre. This project is now a step closer to becoming a reality following the productive meeting, with the steering committee to seek state and federal government funding. I’m committed to working with all the stakeholders to help turn this long-held vision into a reality.

Remote roads targeted for funding LAST week I was also pleased to announce a new $150 million program targeting neglected, unsealed roads that local councils would otherwise not have the funding to maintain. The Remote Roads Upgrade Pilot Program will make a real difference to communities across the Parkes electorate, with funding to be used by councils to improve local access and address safety risks. The coalition government recognises local government bears the brunt of the often-signiﬁcant costs of up-

grading rural and regional roads, and we are stepping in to back councils to undertake crucial works. Nobody should be cut off from their township because of the condition of the roads, so we will partner with local government to deliver this funding and address many neglected roads that most people don’t see, ensuring our regional communities get the safe and efficient road connections they deserve.

Best wishes for the HSC I would like to take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to all the year 12 students

about to sit their higher school certificate exams this week. You should all be so proud to have made it this far, getting through the most difficult final two years of schooling that anyone has had to deal with. Having to contend with online learning for a large chunk of these past two years can’t have been easy, and I commend you on stepping up and adapting to the challenges thrown at you. The fi nish line is now in sight, and I wish each and every one of you all the very best as you sit your exams. Remember to look after yourselves during this time and know that you should all be very optimistic about the future.

Dugald Saunders’ Remembrance Day message

‘SACRIFICE’ is a word that gets a lot of use at this time of year, as we remember all the men and women who have served our nation during war and in peacetime. For many families across our district this ‘sacriﬁce’ is not an abstract concept – in fact it hits very close to home. Like the descendants of Arthur Rupert Rathbone, from the Narromine district. Arthur enlisted not once, but three times to serve his country. Arthur was shot and injured many times but eventually returned home and married his sweetheart, but his brother Harry never returned, killed in action in the 2nd battle of Gaza. On ANZAC Day this year, Arthur’s descendants marked his grave with a military

AROUND THE ELECTORATE ATE Comment by DUGALD SAUNDERS, State Member for Dubbo cross. His mother Keturah’s grave also acts as a memorial to Harry – descendants say she never quite recovered from his death. Then there is the story of Reginald Kierath – Rusty to his friends – who is best known for the role he played in the Great Escape from a Prisoner of War cap during the Second World War. A pilot, Rusty was captured after his ﬁghter was hit by an-

ti-aircraft ﬁ re from a German ship. He was eventually put into a Prisoner of War camp deep in Nazi-occupied Poland, where he became known for his resourcefulness. In March of 1944, on a freezing cold night, Rusty and 75 others made “The Great Escape’’ through underground tunnels and out of the camp. Rusty was part of a group which posed as timber mill

workers on leave heading to the mountains. But the group was arrested by a mountain patrol, handed over to the Gestapo and Rusty and three other airmen were executed. His remains are now buried in part of the Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery, but his legacy lives on with the Great Escape immortalised in the 1963 fi lm of the same name. These are just some of the stories of incredible sacrifice made by families across our region, and on Remembrance Day I think it’s appropriate to honour their service. But I also want to pay tribute to all the men and women of the Australian Defence Force still serving today, like the team from Operation COVID-19 Assist which flocked to western NSW in August this

year. These men and women put their own health and safety on the line to help administer vaccinations, deliver emergency relief packages and assist police with welfare checks. In doing so they’ve spent months away from home, and exposed themselves to the greatest domestic threat we’ve faced in living memory. It’s not often we get to see ﬁ rsthand how our servicemen and women risk themselves to protect us and the freedoms we hold so dear. I want to express my constant admiration for those who served, and those who continue to preserve their memories. We live in the best country in the world, and we have these men and women, and their families, to thank for it. Lest We Forget.

90th anniversary of Butler’s record flight By EMILY MIDDLETON

NINETY years on, and Arthur Butler still holds the record for flying solo in a baby monoplane from England to Australia in just nine days, one hour, and 42 minutes. The fl ight should have only taken eight days; however, Mr Butler was held by Italian police for a day. The original hanger still remains at the Gilgandra Shire depot, and the Tooraweenah aerodrome is soon to become a museum dedicated to Mr Butler. The story of Mr Butler may not be one known to many, but he was a humble man who didn’t like to boast. On November 9, 1931 at 4.22pm, Mr Butler touched down in Darwin, making aviation history. “He was a person of amazing determination,” said Mr Butler’s grandson and Tooraweenah local, Mark Pitts. “He used to live in Lithgow, and his love of flying came from when he rode up into the mountains and he sat under a pine tree. He said he heard a loud explosion and saw this seed, and he said he just watched its perfect aerodynamic float. He said from that point on all he wanted to do was fly.” Mr Butler trained as a fl ight mechanic, and eventually saved up enough money to buy an old broken-down plane which he restored, got his pilot’s license at 17, and he became a barnstormer. “That’s how he met my grandmother,” said Mr Pitts. “By coming to Tooraweenah and taking my grandmother up for a joy fl ight. That’s where their relationship started. Mr Butler would tell his children and grandchildren stories from all of his flying years, but the most impressive is that of his record-breaking fl ight. “He went to take this position in England, and then he was staying up with at his aunties in the Wirral, which is not far from Liverpool. In those days, you only had mail by sea, so a letter sent by his friend took five to six weeks to get to him. “This letter said, if you stay over there, you’re going to lose your girl. And he just felt so hopeless that he jumped on this pushbike and rode through the countryside,” said Mr Pitts/ While riding, without a clear destination in mind, Mr Butler saw his fi rst plane in England. So, he chased it. “He had no idea that that was going to be the answer to get back to his girl,” said Mr Pitts. “He watched where it landed and he rode over to the plane, and the guy was trying to fob him off because he just thought he was a colonial,

Top: Arthur Butler made aviation history exactly 90 years ago this week, after flying solo from England to Australia in just nine days. and thought – what is he doing coming up asking us questions for? But the pilot was very happy to talk to him.” When the pilot found out that Mr Butler had aviation experience, he was happy to let him have a fly. That’s when they realised, he was the real deal. “They offered him a job to help promote the pilot’s little plane,” said Mr Pitts. “My grandfather said, no I’ve got to get back to Australia. And he said, well I’ve got a better idea. You get back to your girl for free – because he had no money – and you make my little plane famous and break the world record.” The little copper-swift plane was then redesigned for expansive distances. “He is the only one in the world who, one, was the fastest solo fl ight in history, and two, he was the only open cockpit and smallest plane to do it,” said Mr Pitts. Mr Butler went through some terrible tropical thunderstorms, spending five of the nine days in terrible weather. But getting there for his girl was what kept him going. “He said that because Tooraweenah’s given me a wife, I’m going to put Tooraweenah on the map. And that’s why Tooraweenah became the first genuine regional aviation in Australia,” said Mr Pitts. “I’ve just been told by someone from the Ansett airline museum that was at Toora recently, he said that it was probably the fi rst regional hub in

the world.” Mr Pitts said that his grandfather pioneered just about every air service in NSW. You may be familiar with the name ‘Butler Air Transport.’ “Tooraweenah was an operational airport before Dubbo, then he started Dubbo, Warren, Bourke, Walgett, Moree, Cobar, Hay, lots and lots of places.” Mr Butler wanted to provide

services for everyone right across Australia. He wanted to allow people in remote areas to access travel by air, to get to the big cities. According to Mr Pitts, a Tooraweenah farmer could order a part in the morning and have it that afternoon. “There’s no way that could happen today.” Mr Pitts said that Tooraweenah aerodrome was the only privately owned air-

port in the world, because Mr Butler bought the land. “The whole property was his, and he could extend the runway and do whatever he wanted without having to go through all the government protocol. “It was the only privately owned aerodrome in the world that services a town of less than 200, and more than 300 passengers a week. It was a thriving town during the Arthur butler air transport days,” said Mr Pitts. Mr Pitts has high regard for his grandfather, and wants to see more recognition for his hard work. “I just think it’s a really good opportunity, the way that COVID-19, and the way that domestic travels going to change, that we promote the aviation histories signiﬁcance in the Gilgandra shire. “My grandfather was always had people around at his place coming to see him. He was a bit of an enigma of a personality. But he was really highly regarded by people. “Nancy Bird Walton would be coming over all the time, she just regarded him as the most understated aviator in the history of Australia. She said it was a disgrace that he hasn’t had more recognition that he did. But he was a humble man, he wasn’t out there blowing his trumpet.” The original passenger terminal still stands in Tooraweenah and is set to become an aviation museum in the near future.

Recycling rate grows nearly tenfold By BROOKE CHANDLER

NARROMINE STAR’S DEBUT EDITION WINS A WARM WELCOME Local Charmaine Treseder said she was “dying to buy her copy of the first Narromine Star,” from the Narromine Newsagency’s Cassie Brine. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

NATIONAL Recycling Week is currently celebrating its 25th year of the Plant Ark campaign, by getting involved in new recycling and reuse activities. Since the campaign was founded in 1996, the recycling rate in Australia has gone from seven per cent and just 1.5 million total tonnes recycled to over 60 per cent and 43 million tonnes of materials recycled. Australians have gone from recycling just 80 kilograms of material each per year, to now about 1700kg per person. This year’s National Recycling Week celebrations look very different this year with the introduction of initiatives such as encouraging people to get creative and upcycle old and used furniture rather than sending it to landﬁ ll. Planet Ark co-CEO, Rebecca Gilling says the growing rate of recycling in Australia coincides with an increased knowledge of items that cause recycling contamination issues, including soft plastics, bagged recyclables and clothing. “Our research shows Australians overwhelmingly agree that recycling is the right thing to do and is good for the environment and we hope to see these attitudes translate into positive action.”

FOR the love of reading Narromine Public School (NPS) students celebrated their love of reading this book week by dressing up as their favourite book characters and parading outdoors in front of parents, carers and the greater school community. It was fabulous to have the families back onsite in a COVID-safe way to celebrate the importance of reading. Other NPS book week activities included our school leaders reading to each classroom as online special guest readers each day and a Scholastic Book Fair. All proceeds from the book fair will be donated to assist a bushﬁ re affected school in replacing the books in their library.

Local weekend cricket beats bad weather Contributed by MATT ELLIS WITH inclement weather threatening to put a spanner in the works in the lead up to the scheduled weekend ﬁ xtures, it was extremely satisfying to see cricket being played over the weekend. For Narromine Junior cricketers, the satisfaction of playing was ampliﬁed as they came away with wins in all three matches they contested on Saturday morning. Narromine Red and Narromine Black, who had squared off in round one at Olsen Park, were on the road in round two with Red coming away with a win against Gilgandra and Black victorious over Newtown. The under-14s hosted Macquarie Junior Cricket Club at Olsen Park on Saturday morning with a good all round team performance seeing Narromine come away with a comprehensive win. Jake Sherwood and Paddy Cusack both made the most of their time at the crease retiring on 23 and 22 respectively whilst Jackson Smith made an impressive 25

in a total of 7 for 141 from their 28 overs. Some tight bowling ensured that the home side were able to defend their total restricting the visitors to 7 for 38. Callum Jacobson picked up two wickets for just five runs, and Jackson Smith claimed figures you would love to hear announced by Richie Benaud fi nishing with two for two

off two overs. Jack Brewer and Jake Foster were the other wicket takers with Carter Magill effecting a run out. For the seniors, in Pinnington Cup action, Narromine took on Dubbo CYMS at Dundas Park. After winning the toss and batting ﬁ rst the home side were bowled out for 172. The Narromine bowlers worked hard to make sure

the total would be enough but CYMS snuck home with one wicket in hand to come away with a tightly contested win. In Kelly Cup it was Narromine taking on CYMS Green in Dubbo with Narromine all out for 108 after winning the toss and batting ﬁ rst. Despite some good bowling from the Narromine attack, particularly Lewis Goodman who

claimed four wickets, it was a three wicket win to CYMS who reached the total after 26 overs. Next Saturday in Kelly Cup Narromine will take on Dubbo Rugby at Dundas Park with the Pinnington Cup team heading to Dubbo to take on South Dubbo United. For the Juniors, the under 14s head to Dubbo to play South Dubbo, with Narromine Red up against Wellington in Dubbo and Narromine Black at home to Gilgandra in the under 12s.

Macquarie Yabbies’ season commences Contributed by GINNI BROWN THE Macquarie Yabbies fi rst club night of the season lit up the Narromine Aquatic Centre as swimmers eager to get back to race fitness lined up. On Thursday, October 28, the Yabbies held a ‘Come and Try’ night, where 12 new families joined the Yabbies crew to see what swimming clubs are all about; with over 60 swimmers in the pool on the night. “We are thrilled with the attendance on the night,” committee president Krista Morrisey said. “Yabbies aim to cater for all skill levels and abilities and welcome anyone who wants to increase their confidence in the pool.” The Yabbies are in their fourth year of operation in Narromine, and run club nights over the summer opening season.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Warren, Sunday, November 7 – Cotton Cup LIKE in a good novel, the excitement built before a thrilling ﬁ nish to the $34,000 QUBE Cotton Cup on Sunday at Warren. Against much more fancied rivals, apprentice Elissa Meredith on Silverhawk, threw a cat among the pigeons when taking the grey gelding to a sizeable early lead in the 1600 metres Cup. Approaching the home turn, Silverhawk ($12) had increased the margin to almost 20 lengths and supporters of the favourites were becoming very concerned about the prospects of the tearaway being run down. Halfway down the straight, Silverhawk still held a big lead with Wild Rocket, Rich And Shameless, and Oakﬁeld Captain, the closest chasers, all under pressure. Eventually, Silverhawk began to weaken, and Rich And Shameless took a narrow lead with Wild Rocker which had been last early, launching a challenge. Carrying the 61kg top weight, Wild Rocket (Mathew Cahill, $4) won by a head from Rich And Shameless (Billy

Wild Rocket wins Warren’s QUBE Cotton Cup Cray, $3.50 favourite), with Not Negotiating (Ashleigh Stanley, $5) fi nishing strongly on the outside to be a long head away third, in advance of Oakfield Captain and Silverhawk which battled on for fi fth. Jockey Mathew Cahill told connections of the winner he had doubts at the top of the straight if Wild Rocket under the big weight could wear down the tearaway leader Silverhawk. Trained at Narromine by Kylie Kennedy, the five-yearold mare Wild Rocket, at the three starts before Warren, had won the Narromine Cup and fi nished third in both the Coonamble Cup and Coonabarabran Cup. Celebrating his 23rd birthday, Clayton Gallagher had a memorable day riding four winners, including a treble in consecutive races, Larynx ($3.20, favourite), Winter Moon ($3.40, favourite) and Carry On Cathy ($2.80, favourite), for Gulgong trainer Brett Thompson. When interviewed by the team from Sky, Brett Thompson described Warren as an outstanding track and said there should be an increased number of meetings held at Warren. Clayton Gallagher completed his four win haul when Classy Rebel continued an extraordinary campaign in the 1200 metres QUBE Agri-Warren Jockey Club Sprint. Trained at Dubbo by Dar Lunn, and raced by Guy

Wild Rocket wins by a head at Narromine. Pictured closest to camera is Ashleigh Stanley riding Not Negotiating to third place. PHOTO: JANIAN MCMILLAN/RACINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM.AU Mitchell from Binnaway and Rob Pratten from Dubbo, the seven-year-old gelding, Classy Rebel, has won an incredible 10 races over the past year with Clayton Gallagher the rider on most occasions. As has been the case at several recent starts, Classy Rebel did not favourite, as odds assessors and punters found reasons such as increased weight to carry or a wide barrier as being too much for the horse to overcome. However Classy Rebel has a great will to win, and keeps ﬁ nding something more when under pressure. Carrying 62kgs, and conced-

ing rivals up to a 10kgs advantage after apprentices allowances at Warren, Classy Rebel ($2.70) went straight to the lead from the outside barrier and defied every challenge in the straight. Classy Rebel won by threequarters of a length from Gadfly (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $11) with a short head to The Long Run (Ashleigh Stanley, $13), while the $2.60 favourite Patrick May (Dylan Stanley) fi nished a handy fourth. Cobar trainer Wayne Prisk, with his nine-year-old gelding Jawsome, went close to achieving a huge upset in the 1000 metres Halcroft and Bennett

Benchmark 58 Handicap at Warren. Starting at the cricket score odds of $151, Jawsome (Nyssa Burrells) led until close to home before being overhauled and beaten less than a length by the Scott Singleton, Sconetrained Mr Cruise (Rachael Murray, $11). Jawsome returned a place dividend of $29.90 for $1 on the TAB. Hawkesbury-based Grant Buckley rode a winning double, Girragulang ($1.60 favourite) trained by Derek Piper at Mudgee and on the Damian Lane, Wyong-trained Oakﬁeld Navajo ($2.70 favourite).

‘Have a go’ Narromine Little Athletics is back!

Fit fun: Kelli Piddington leads the little athletes in a warmup game of ‘numbers’. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR By BROOKE CHANDLER

Zac Harding, 13, is all smiles for the club’s new track uniforms.

Committee: Club registrar Jessica Brown, coaching coordinator Kelli Piddington, club president Tanya Harding and grant coordinator Sarah McGilchrist.

THE laughter, cheers and family friendly fun of Narromine Little Athletics has returned to Payten Park. As of October 20, the youth sport was given the green light to commence their summer season under strict social distancing, returnto-play and COVID specific training protocols. The club’s fi rst post-lockdown training session took place on the clear, 30-degree afternoon of November 2. Club president Tanya Harding said the three month delay to the season has not only given participants 16 years and over time to get vaccinated, but has also interfered significantly with registration numbers. “I’ve been involved with the club for over 20 years now,” Ms Harding told the Narromine Star. “There have been times where we are 105 club members strong. Even though we have recently promoted the

opening of our registrations, our numbers remain very low. “We’ve decided to keep our registrations open for longer. So therefore, anyone who wishes to join can do so at any time,” Ms Harding added. For the ﬁ rst time in the club’s 34 year history, Narromine Little Athletics is taking on ‘tiny tots’ – children aged as young as three years old. “We take on children all the way up to 18 years old too. In other clubs around the region, we’ve seen participants in their 60s. It would be great to have the young and old like that one day.” Club registrar Jessica Brown said, “Out of all the sports my children have participated in, Little Athletics has given them the most thrill. I really encourage the community to get behind it.” The summer season has returned in full form

with training Tuesday afternoons and club night Thursdays. “We will have music pumping,” Ms Harding said. “We also have exciting new track uniforms in our pink and black club colours. “To encourage PBs and individual participation, we have a point system. So, it doesn’t matter if you come ﬁ rst or last. You still have the potential to gain as many points as possible and become age champion.” Coach coordinator Kelli Piddington is eager to get participants moving again following many cancelled training sessions. “I grew up in the West Australian Little Athletics system,” Ms Piddington said. “It is a very good foundational sport. Kids are exposed to the skills needed to run, jump and throw. “During my coaching course, there was a rugby player who was using Little Athletics to strengthen the skill base of his players.

This is something we encourage as well.” Sarah McGilchrist is the Grants Coordinator for Narromine Little Athletics. Her work recently secured the almost $5000 Coles Little Athletics Community Fund. “I had spent a lot of my lockdown applying for as many grants as possible. We spent the money on new equipment which we will be able to use in the coming weeks,” Ms McGilchrist said. Payten Park’s long jump pits were topped up with fresh sand just in time for the recommencement of the Little Athletics summer season. “I would like to thank Narromine Shire Council for not only gifting the club $500, but for also providing the truckload of sand,” Ms McGilchrist said. Narromine Little Athletics club registrations are open for the foreseeable future and are available for online completion.
