Where are all the doctors? By BROOKE CHANDLER IT is a chronic problem with very few simple answers – how to get doctors and other healthcare providers to work in regional NSW. After what has been described as a worst case scenario by politicians across the country, the escalation of COVID-19 in western NSW has put a spotlight on the already vulnerable regional healthcare system. Although the state government has committed more than $4 billion to the health system to manage the impacts of the pandemic, concerned locals want to know if the funds will improve the accessibility of general practitioners (GPs) at Narromine Hospital. A spokesperson from the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) told the Narromine Star while the state government builds health centres and employs staff to manage them, it is however the federal governments’ responsibility to appoint GPs as visiting medical officers (VMOs). “Demand for health services in some small rural towns is varied,” they said. “Allowing GPs to be appointed as VMOs at a local hospital ensures continuity of care for the community and supports the GP to practice and maintain skills across a range of specialities.” The VMO model has been in place for several decades and is designed to support the doctors to see and treat patients in a private practice, rather than in the hospital system.

Mudyigalang donates to the Narromine Cancer Support Group By BROOKE CHANDLER A SMALL club of like minded ladies, better known as Mudyigalang Craft Group, made a substantial donation to the Narromine Cancer Group on Friday, November 19. This donation, valued at $2000, is a testament of the various charities the Mudyigalang Craft Group work to support. Amongst the struggles of a COVID-19 induced lockdown, the non-for-
profit organisation has made financial donations to the local Multiple Sclerosis Support Group and Narromine Rescue Squad. Baby bonnets were also handcrafted by the group and sent to the premature baby ward at Dubbo Base Hospital. Club secretary, Kay Groves, says the group’s charity work would not be possible without the assistance of local businesses such as Inland Petroleum Service Station and Narromine Fruit Shop.

We don’t want that to change,” Ms Groves added.

Sergeant takes promotion as Sector Supervisor for the Narromine and Trangie police region By BROOKE CHANDLER THREE months ago, a new face was welcomed into the office of Narromine Police Station. Sergeant Scott Heckendorf moved through the promotion ranks and successfully secured himself the role of sector supervisor for the Narromine and Trangie region. With 15-years of work experience in regional areas (Bathurst and Dubbo), sergeant Heckendorf is no stranger to the often abrupt nature of small town emergency response. “As a police officer, you can never plan your day,” said sergeant Heckendorf. “Every shift usually starts by tasking the team with their duties for the day. It then moves on to verifying all work completed by the team. There is usually a meeting or two thrown into the mix with either my bosses in Dubbo. Then there are responses around town.” Born and bred in Warren, sergeant Heckendorf brings to Narromine a long list of experience from his years as a detective. “There have been so many memorable, and not so memorable experiences in the drug unit of the Orana Mid-Western Police District. I was the officer in charge of Strike Force Canard, which investigated the murder of
Christine Anthony, a Narromine resident, in 2011. The accused was sentenced to 27 years imprisonment,” sergeant Heckendorf recalled. “I was also the officer in charge of Strike Force Cornelius, the murder of Alois REZ in Dubbo in 2013. After a mammoth eight-week trial in the NSW Supreme Court, Sydney, the accused was sentenced to 32 years imprisonment and the co-accused was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.” Sergeant Heckendorf has an extensive skillbase, having trained to investigate inland water, crash, homicide, critical incident and drug cases. “But I think my background in drug investigations will really target the drug related crime that is present in Narromine and Trangie communities,” sergeant Heckendorf explained. “I want my team to be out in the community, getting involved and working hard to minimise the impact of drugs.” Following years of study at Goulburn Police Academy and Charles Sturt University, sergeant Heckendorf says he is extremely passionate about his new role. “Becoming a police officer was always in the back of my mind as a kid. So far, I’ve really enjoyed my time getting to know the people of this region.”

Ag machinery dealership survey highlights critical labour shortage TALK of a critical labour shortage have been confi rmed after a national dealer survey shows the demand for both apprentices and qualified trades people are exceeding current supply. The survey by Case IH and New Holland parent company CNH Industrial, have confi rmed the challenges around fi nding – and retaining – service technicians.

Friday 26 November Min 17 Max 26. Showers. Possible rainfall: 8 to 25 mm. Chance of any rain: 90% Central West Slopes and Plains area Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm in the morning and afternoon. Heavy falls possible in the south. Winds north to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h increasing to 30 km/h before shifting south to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to around 16 with daytime temperatures reaching 22 to 28. Sun protection recommended from 8:40 am to 5:00 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 11 [Extreme]
Brandon Stannett, said the purpose of the survey was to collect feedback in relation to the resources available at dealer locations, stating there was a particular focus on staffing levels around parts and service. “The results haven’t come as a surprise to us – we are well aware of the difficulties our dealerships have, particularly in smaller and more remote locations, in recruiting and retaining skilled
staff,” said Mr Stannett. “But the survey has confi rmed where the greatest need is within our dealerships, and it highlights the importance of greater investment in a larger pool of qualified technicians and spare parts experts. “In smaller towns, our dealerships are often one of the biggest employers, so it’s not only farmers who are potentially losing out from labour shortages, but rural and region-

al communities and their economies as well.” The survey was completed by dealer locations accounting for about 90 per cent of the entire Case IH and New Holland dealer network across Australia. Of the respondents, 97 per cent said they had advertised for staff in the period from July 20, 2020, to June 21, 2021, seeking to fi ll almost 800 positions. But as of July 1 this year, half of these positions remained vacant.

Narromine Hospital: Where are all the doctors? From page 1 “Having just one doctor working in a facility is not sustainable and does not support the individual doctors wellbeing,” the WNSWLHD spokesperson said. At this point in time however, one emergency medicine specialist VMO has been appointed to the Narromine Hospital. Aware of the immense workload and pressure placed on this individual, the WNSWLHD says they are “continuing to work with the federal government, the local council and other local organisations to assist recruitment and to develop opportunities to attract more GP services. “Between mid-2012 and mid2021, WNSWLHD increased its workforce by an additional 614 full-time equivalent staff – an increase of 12.8 per cent including 107 more doctors, 210 more nurses and midwives and 71 more allied health staff.” However, a shortage of in-person doctors as well as nurses in small regional hospitals is an age-old issue that has prompted technological alternatives. “Local health services also have access to virtual care”,
Professional isolation, job satisfaction and a lack of incentives remain the reasons doctors and other healthcare providers won’t move to the bush.

the WNSWLHD explained. “This gives the local health staff access to experienced doctors, across a range of medical specialties, who can help to diagnose, treat, and when needed, transfer patients to another hospital.” Implemented in 2006, the virtual care system helps sup-
port staff rather than replace local doctors. “Most COVID-19 patients don’t need hospital care and can be cared for at home. We have plans in place to ensure any outbreak will allow us to safely care for patients who require hospitalisation.” Tracey Coyte, organiser
at the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association, says an increased reliance on visiting medical officers and virtual doctors are part of the growing pressures being placed on regional nurses and midwives. “In facilities like Narromine, one shift left short can mean there’s just one registered
nurse to run the emergency department, oversee the acute beds and residential aged care beds,” Ms Coyte said. Under her expertises, Ms Coyte believes safe and adequate staffing is the solution to many of the problems in rural and regional health settings. “The current staffing model used by NSW Health to fi ll nursing rosters is flawed and focuses on a bare minimum, meaning it fails to meet any increases in demand,” Ms Coyte explained. “We’re seeing many nurses doing regular overtime and huge workloads.” Understanding this is an issue felt by many regional towns, the state government has been inquiring into and reporting on the health outcomes as well as health access since September last year. Meanwhile, Narromine locals are encouraged to refer to their GP as a primary point of care and utilise the hospital for emergency scenarios only.

Redden family among many growers beginning harvest A local farming family has witnessed both the advantages and disadvantages of above average rainfall. PHOTO: NARROMINE
By BROOKE CHANDLER THE start to harvest this season experienced intermittent delays, with mother nature rounding in less than ideal conditions across the region. More than 72 millimetres of rain has fallen this November, leaving frustrated growers unable to action their headers and chaser bins. Tuesday week-ago, grain moisture tests fi nally gave a promising result for the Redden family who own land to the east, and lease land both south and west of Narromine. “This is the latest start we have ever had”, said Jane Redden. “Usually we harvest in the blistering heat with very long days. The current moisture in the air won’t allow us to do that.” Having planted 2200 hectares of wheat, 1040 hectares of canola and 400 hectares of lupins, the Redden family predicts they will be working the headers and chaser bins for well over four weeks. “Even with the labour shortage, we are lucky to have my husband Matthew, and two sons, Tom, who is permanently on the farm and Jock, on university holidays, around to help.”
STAR/BROOKE CHANDLER
The Reddens have invested in their own headers, reducing the need to rely on contract harvesters, which, in a season like this, are in high demand. “We also employ the same truck drivers every year so that’s an added bonus,” Ms
Redden said. “Having a reliable team around us at harvest time is critical. The Canadian drought, among other places in the world, has resulted in a huge shortage of canola. Australian growers, like the Reddens, are

set to experience the advantages of what is currently described as ‘gold’. “We planted our crops in April and May, and like last year, they sprung up really well,” Mr Redden said. “We should see a really good re-
turn from our canola due to its high oil content.” Although they choose not to windrow their crops, the Redden’s are however flexible in who purchases their yield and where it is distributed. “Every year is different. We’ve done a lot of work with AWB and GrainCorp in the past,” Mr Redden said. “This year, we will rely on advice from our grain marketer as the crop comes in.” With climate forecasts predicting a wetter than usual summer, growers around the country remain nervous as sustained levels of rain could further delay harvest or even damage crops. Optimistically, Ms Redden says the two-week delay to the beginning of harvest has only furthered her excitement. “We always look forward to this time of year. And after a drought and pandemic as well, I really hope strong back-toback seasons will continue for growers around the region.”
Mentor shares natural resources knowledge By NATALIE LEWIS
Narromine United Services Memorial Club Ltd
AFTER a lifetime of protecting pastures and promoting stress-free stockmanship, Narromine’s Bruce Maynard is using his knowledge of natural resources to help others. Recently named as a drought resilience leader in the federal government’s Future Drought Fund in partnership with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation, Mr Maynard said the program extends the work he has done across the nation for many years. “It’s a continuation of two and a half decades’ worth of work in the natural resources space for me. I have worked all over Australia.” Mr Maynard has pioneered no kill cropping, self-herding and grassland grain and has worked with Catchment Management Authorities (now Local Land Services) and Landcare Australia on regeneration programs. He is constantly looking for ways to improve agricultural practice to address climate change and species decline. “It’s one of the industries that will have to

Mr Maynard said interest in regenerative agriculture is increasing which is “really heartening to see”. He explained that more farming operators are valuing the native landscape which is an important factor. “It’s the big determinant in everything else that happens,” he said. “It’s not just about producing goods; it’s about having vibrant rural communities. “It can’t just be economic.” Mr Maynard is contin-
ually searching for systems and models that reinforce his stance on environmental protection and it’s knowledge that he is more than willing to pass on to mentees. “We need to work on making a shift. There are more industries from a commercial level that are starting to get there. Running a business is one thing, seeking to run businesses that are sustainable in the long-term, that’s another thing but it’s a drift forward. Mr Maynard is also assisting the Southern Cross University Regenerative Agriculture Mentorship Program (RAMP). He is enjoying being part of the push for change towards new systems and ideas and is looking forward to once again doing more extensive travel in the near future to continue his work in other areas of Australia. “We need to keep an open book for new innovations,” he said. “A lot of research and development and innovation inspiration adds to accelerations in science. I do feel fortunate to stand on the shoulders of giants.”

‘Part-time’ pool service confuses locals By BROOKE CHANDLER FOR decades, Gai Dougan has been a frequent user of Narromine Aquatic Centre. A lover of the water, a mother of passionate swimmers and an avid believer in aqua aerobics for the recent hip replacement, Ms Dougan says she has always been puzzled by the pool's open hours. On weekdays, Narromine Aquatic Centre is open from 6am for two hours, and then again from 1-6pm. “I don’t understand why it is closed for what is often the hottest and often busiest time of the day,” Ms Dougan said. “A lot of mothers and eldery people I have run into at the pool say they either have to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the centre is packed with school children. “We deserve full access to the pool facilities after paying for the season pass,” Ms Dougan added. Narromine Star posed these concerns to the director of community and economic development at Narromine Shire Council, Phil Johnston. He said the council established the open hours according to budget limitations as well as surveyed visiting times. “We’ve had to balance out the costs to run the pool each year,” Mr Johnston explained. “The current open hours reflect the fi nancial capacity

we have.” Mr Johnston also said the annual budget for the pool does not include the staff costs. However, the current season pass pricing attributes significantly to the facilities annual budget. “The contractor in charge of managing the pool, Lifeguarding Services Australia (LSA), is responsible for employing staff. This year is their second season of management, prior to that, it was council. “I am sympathetic to the current open hours not meeting the needs of the whole community,” Mr Johnston said. “It’s a tricky situation but
school students are a huge target market. We have to cater for when the demand is there.” Following COVID-19 induced closure in addition to renovations, Narromine Aquatic Centre is expected to be a social hotspot during the upcoming summer holidays. “There is provision in the contract with LSA to adjust the opening hours of the pool during the summer holidays. Last season during January for example the pool was open for an extra hour per day. This will be assessed again as we move closer to the summer holidays,” Mr Johnston added.
Fertiliser prices soar to new high By NATASHA MAY AUSTRALIAN fertiliser prices have reached record highs in Australia due to surging energy costs. Modelling from Thomas Elder Markets shows the price of fertiliser in Australia is at a record $1320 per tonne for purchase, freight, and discharge. NSW Farmers Grains Committee chair, Justin Everitt, says prices had remained manageable as they’d risen during the year, but the cost of fertiliser for the coming season has become “unmanageable”. “We can’t grow much without fertiliser,” said Everitt, which means farmers will have no choice but to “fork out the money” despite the risk of running at a loss. Narromine farmer, Robert Webb, says the rising prices are going to have an impact and that those that remain in the industry will have “a big burden to carry.” Agricultural market analyst, Andrew Whitelaw, says “all the issues we’re seeing flows back to energy pricing.” The prices of the two main sources of energy used to produce fertiliser – natural gas and coal – have “gone through the roof”, according to Whitelaw and that has a corresponding effect on fertiliser price. Australia has previously imported 60 per cent of monoammonium and diammonium phosphate fertilisers from China, which has banned further exports. Russia has also imposed a quota on overseas sales. Mr Whitelaw said Australian farmers are currently buying fertiliser from Morocco, but prices are being driven up by a global environment of shorter supply and the greater distance leading to higher freight costs.

Shop local, says mining operator By NATALIE LEWIS ACQUIRING their equipment in the central west is an important focus for Alkane Resources, whose Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) recently sourced machinery from suppliers in Orange and Dubbo. TGO general manager Jason Hughes said an $18 million fleet upgrade had included machines manufactured in various places and available through local dealerships. “Some of the machines have limited suppliers across the country, but we’d rather have a supplier in the area so that when we need support, they are at hand,” he said. Purchases included MT65 trucks from Swedish fi rm Epiroc, a Development Jumbo and Production drill from Sandvik in Orange and a grader and Volvo ITs from Coleman Equipment in Orange. Loaders
were bought from the Dubbo branch of Westrac. Mr Hughes said the new vehicles would ensure greater productivity and efficiency in the mine, backed by the reassurance of service departments in nearby centres. “All machines get to a point where they become uneconomical to rebuild and it makes better fi nancial sense to purchase new and use the latest technology to improve the efficiencies and lower costs. It’s fairly important to get back-up service as well, and we like to use the local resources from these suppliers to achieve that. “We do our own maintenance on-site but sometimes we need specialist help. Having that local support is very important to us. It keeps jobs and skills in town too.” Mr Hughes said extension of their underground operations to at least 2026 and open cut mining until 2031 had signifi-
Work being done on site by Tomingley Gold Operations. PHOTO: TGO cantly increased the need for upgraded equipment. “The fleet we started with was in the range of 10+ years old and the major machines have already been rebuilt at least once,” he explained. “This original second-hand underground fleet has done
a great job getting the project started with a very low capital outlay for what was a planned three-year mine life. “Now, with an extended underground mine life until at least 2026, it’s time to replace it with a new, modern and more efficient fleet.
“By committing to a new fleet, we will be ensuring TGO will be an efficient and productive mining operation well into the future.” f Tomingley Gold Operations is a Foundation Supporter of Narromine Star.

Inland Rail Project means ‘boom time’ is on horizon By BROOKE CHANDLER THE Narromine to Narrabri section of the Inland Rail Southern Civil Works Program is already breathing new life into the regional economy according to an ARTC spokesperson. Although construction is anticipated to commence next year, more than 2400 people are currently involved in the project to date. “Once construction starts, more towns and communities in NSW will reap the benefits of inland rail through the creation of new jobs and economic opportunities”, said an ARTC spokesperson. With aims to keep up the pace with Australia’s increasing freight demands, the 1700 kilometre Inland Rail Project will connect Melbourne to Brisbane, via regional NSW and Queensland. In September 2021, ARTC engaged ACCIONA and CPB Contractors Joint venture (ACACPB JV) to deliver this project which is valued at more than $1.2 billion. Since then, a further $2.2 billion has been committed to over 400 companies across Australia.
Inland rail will be constructing a 306 kilometre greenfield track from Narromine to Narrabri.

The Narromine to Narrabri section of the project will require a taskforce of approximately 7500 workers at the peak of construction in 2023-24. Survey work and geotechnical investigation is also taking place on this part
of the greenfield route. The first of the 13 projects that comprise inland rail, the 103 kilometres Parkes to Narromine section, is already in operation and early works on the Narrabri to North Star section has begun.
Davies addresses candidate forum
TWENTY-TWO of Dubbo’s 35 candidates spoke in front of a small crowd at Wellington RSL on November 17. Each candidate was given two minutes to discuss their lifetime achievements and experiences, political perspective as well as encourage votership. The evening commenced with a speech presented by Narromine’s Craig Davies (pictured). “I’m not here to speak on behalf of the Narromine shire or as mayor of Narromine,” Mr Davies began. “Tonight, I am private citizen Craig Davies.” He explained his presence had no political motivation as, “electoral laws prohibit councillors from another council to help to determine outcomes in other councils”. Honesty and integrity was a recurring theme in his speech as he reflected not only on his leadership at Narromine Shire Council, but also of his mischievous childhood in Leeton. “These traits were instilled in me as a child,” Mr Davies said. “Honesty and integrity are also imperative qualities needed in every councillor in council.” The symbiotic relationship between Dubbo and Narromine was another mention of Mr Davies. “Dubbo has an impressive list of nominees in the upcoming election. Residents should choose honesty and integrity when they place their vote.”

Simply the zest: funding boost to create more jobs at Mumble Peg POPULAR family-owned juice company Mumble Peg will be able to upgrade its facilities, increase productivity and create new jobs, thanks to the Regional Job Creation Fund. Member for the Dubbo, Dugald Saunders said a $200,000 grant will help Mumble Peg install new equipment, including a colour vision grader and automated packer, boosting its capabilities to produce premium quality fruit juices. “The upgrades will improve quality assurance and allow Mumble Peg to tap into higher quality export markets, while also increasing productivity and enabling staff to take up more supervisory roles in the business,” Mr Saunders said. “This project will not only upskill existing employees but also create more than 37 jobs over the next three years, including extra packers, additions to the sales team and a grading line operator. “These upgrades will boost the local economy by allowing Mumble Peg to cater to more domestic and international buyers with its premium sorted fruit juices, and I look forward to seeing the benefits it will bring for the Narromine region.” Mumble Peg’s general man-
ager Trevor Roberts said the grant money will help make their operation more sophisticated, and increase the quality of their products. “The funding will go into de-
velopment, which will create more jobs, and also let us get to where we’re wanting to be a lot faster,” Mr Roberts said. The Regional Job Creation Fund supports eligible busi-
nesses with grants to purchase new equipment, expand facilities, acquire technology, create new production lines or establish businesses in regional NSW.

New chair for food and fibre group By NATALIE LEWIS NEWLY-APPOINTED Macquarie River Food and Fibre (MRFF) chairman Stewart Denston has learned a lot from the past three years and is looking forward to sharing that knowledge through his leadership. “I was fortunate to be the vice-chairman for three years under Tony Quigley,” he explained. “The last three years has been tough but I learned from him and the other executive members.” The main focus during the beginning of the term was to support irrigators through the drought. “There was a lot of sacrifice made by all stakeholders in the Macquarie Valley to ensure the essential requirements were met for the communities along the river,” Mr Denston said. This was followed by adjusting to water policy around floodplain harvesting and new metering reg-
ulations. “Working more closely with the NSW government and local communities on water strategy planning for the Macquarie Valley, that’s taken up a lot of time... making sure the framework is acceptable and functional for our membership.” Mr Denston said working with the organisation’s executive officer (EO) Michael Drum will definitely be beneficial. “I’m very pleased we have the organisation’s support with our EO Michael Drum. Being in the role, he has developed strong relationships with government and local communities and irrigator members. He is very accessible on the ground.” MRFF membership spans Bathurst, Wellington, Dubbo, Narromine, Trangie and Warren with a range of ground and surface water users growing wool, cotton, cereal crops, corn, sorghum, mung beans and other fodder crops. “We represent a varied
group of irrigators. It’s not just about cotton or any other crop,” Mr Denston said. “A lot of young people have also recently returned to the industry which is a good thing. We have encouraged more young people to get involved in irrigated agriculture.” Traditionally, membership has primarily been irrigators but Mr Denston said they are starting to acquire local business owners as associate members. “A lot of them are really involved and supportive of the local industry.” While drought may have been the major worry in previous years, the threat of flood now looms, with Burrendong Dam currently at 130 per cent and Windamere Dam at 97 per cent full. “There is defi nitely a flood risk for the Macquarie Valley. That’s the challenge at the moment, with mitigating the water.”

Community News Trangie students’ Malaysian studies put to the test By PATRICIA RILEY THE recent judging of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) International Country of Study (Malaysia) competition consisted of three entries from students at Trangie’s St John’s Primary School chosen to be judged at group level. Each year, CWA selects an international country for study by primary school children. Prior to 2020, entrants in this competition were asked to prepare and submit a poster depicting the various aspects of interest relating to the country of study. This year the country of study is Malaysia and with technology so much a part of everyday living, students opted to prepare powerpoint presentations as a means of submitting their research. Judges were amazed at the extent of the research undertaken and the attention to detail displayed by the way in which the work was presented. In presenting awards to the prize winners, international officer for Trangie branch, Kathleen Bennett congratulated and thanked all entrants and commented on the difficulty encountered in choosing a winning entry from the high quality of work submitted.

ON Tuesday, the syringe drivers for Timbrebongie’s palliative care patients received a much needed financial boost. The $2500 donation was assembled by the Narromine Car Club, who use their annual car runs and car show to fundraise. As club president Kym Edmunds officiated the donation with a framed certificate, Timbrebongie CEO John Sevil gave multiple gestures of thanks.

“I am so grateful,” Mr Sevil said. “We have been desperate for funding and this will be a huge help to those who need immediate care.” The occasion was also one of Ms Edmund’s fi rst acts as president of this local organisation. “I am loving the role so far,” Ms Edmunds told the Narromine Star. “As the fi rst female president as well, there have been challenges. But at the heart of this club is fundraising for local businesses and organ-
isations. That is very important to me.” Although the club, like many throughout the Narromine shire, has experienced significant COVID-19 induced disturbances. However, Ms Edmunds says this year's car show was the biggest they have had in the club's 22year history. “We have our Christmas party this week alongside many other plans for next year. I hope our fundraising successes continue.”

Morning tea at the Men’s Shed By BROOKE CHANDLER LIKE most Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Narromine Men’s Shed is a hive of activity – that is until Roger Blackman rings the bell for 10 o’clock morning tea. After all projects are put aside, members follow the routine of placing a $2 coin in a jar as they enter the side room prepared with tea, coffee and biscuits. President Keith Richardson told the Narromine Star of the importance of this short break in the day. “We have about 50 members,” Mr Richardson explained, “most of which are widowers who joined the Men’s Shed for comfort and someone to talk to. “Over the last two years, COVID-19 has been really tough for our members as we have had large breaks in our meetings.” As he sipped his coffee, Barry Croker said he believes he has done more gardening in the last six months, than in 75 years of life. “I really missed the company,” Mr Croker said. “Doing little projects at home is not the same and not nearly as enjoyable.” Although members are required to wear masks at all times, the men’s shed say they have returned to their usual services of upcycling, reselling and community based donations. “One member has been building bird boxes,” said club secretary Ken McAnally. “He has made over 40-50 of them, most of which sold straight away. “But COVID-19 has hurt us fi nancially as we were having to pay rent for our premises during lockdown. “The fi nal year award presentations are about to take place at all the local Christian schools,” Mr McAnally added. “We have made donations of $100 and $500 to these schools, just as we have done for many years.” Another hot topic during Tuesday’s morning tea was the club's upcoming Christmas party. “All members, including their wives and families, are excited by the opportunity to fi nally catch up after what has been a very disrupted year,” said Mr Richardson.

Push to raise age of criminal responsibility By EMILY MIDDLETON
Rhino calf Hari was named after the Nepalese word for sun.
HARI SHINES AT ZOO Taronga Western Plains Zoo is delighted to announce the safe arrival of a male greater onehorned Rhino calf, born in the early hours of the morning on Sunday, October 17, 2021. Keepers arrived to find mum Amala, with her calf by her side, and spent the first day observing the pair as the calf started suckling and the all-important mother and calf bond was established. The calf has been named Hari by his keepers, which means sun in Nepalese. “This is Amala’s second calf, and she slowly bonded with him over the course of the first day. She is now very protective of him and doesn’t like him being too far from her side,” said keeper Katharina Pollock. “We are all very excited by this new addition and it is great to see mother and calf doing well. It has been an amazing experience for many of the keepers to see the calf arrive and watch it go from strength to strength. “This birth is a testament to
our dedicated team of keepers and veterinary staff who guided the introduction process between Amala and the calf’s sire, Dora, and then monitored Amala throughout her pregnancy,” said zoo director Steve Hinks. “It is well known that we have an experienced team who work in rhino conservation and this birth is another achievement for a species under threat,” said Mr Hinks. Taronga Western Plains Zoo is the only zoo in Australia to hold and breed three species of rhino – black rhino, white rhino, and greater one-horned Rhino. Greater one-horned rhinos are classified as vulnerable in the wild with approximately 3700 animals remaining in north eastern India and Nepal. This birth follows the arrival of female black rhino calf Sabi Star earlier this year. “Amala and her calf are currently behind-the-scenes to allow them more time to bond and will make their public debut in the coming weeks,” said Ms Pollock.

AUSTRALIA’S state attorneys-general has proposed to increase the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) from 10 to 12 years of age. However, this move has been criticised by justice advocates as not being good enough. The Law Council Australia welcomed the decision, however, believes it was a missed opportunity to bring Australia into step with international human rights standards. “We are pleased the State Attorneys-General have agreed to consider lifting the MACR to 12 but continue to call for it to be immediately lifted to 14 years of age. At 12, a child cannot lawfully sign onto Facebook but can be questioned, arrested, detained, and imprisoned,” said Law Council of Australia president, Dr Jacoba Brasch QC. The Law Council Australia has said that a low minimum age of criminal respon-
sibility is not in the public interest and does not make communities safer. They believe that “putting children in prison begins a cycle of criminalisation.” “Evidence shows children remain in cycles of disadvantage and imprisonment due to a lack of early critical support services including health, disability, rehabilitation and family supports,” said Dr Brasch. Red cross has also criticised this decision, calling for a greater investment in prevention and early intervention. They too would like to see the minimum age of criminal responsibility move to 14. “By raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14, 500 children would have been diverted away from prison into programs that address the underlying causes of crime in 2020-21,” said Australian Red Cross spokesperson, Joel MacKay. “However, by only raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 12, just 43 children would have been
diverted. It is not in the best interest of any child to end up in prison. The minimum age of criminal responsibility must be raised to at least 14. “Raising the age isn’t just about keeping children out prison, it is about giving them the support they need to thrive. If we really want to see a change in the rates of young people ending up in prison there needs to be a radical shift, investing more into activities that address the underlying causes of crime, rather than incarceration which is costly and doesn’t work.” Australia's attorneys general have agreed to formulate a plan to raise the age of criminal responsibility. In all Australian jurisdictions currently, the age of criminal liability is 10. This means that no child below the age of 10 can be arrested, summonsed, or found guilty of a criminal offence. Australia has received continuous backlash over the years for not raising the MACR to 14.
State’s agriculture growth welcomed by NSW Farmers THE future is bright for agriculture after reports the state’s farmgate value stands at a record $20.9 billion. “Two fantastic growing seasons following a prolonged drought, bushfires and floods showed there was huge potential in the sector,” said NSW Farmers president James Jackson. “This is fantastic news for farmers who work so hard to grow our food and fibre. Every single dollar we grow on farm contributes to our regional communities, and in turn our state and our nation. “After a tough couple of years with COVID-19, mouse plagues and currently flooding along the Lachlan River,
James Jackson this is very welcome news for farmers.” Crops such as wheat, canola, rice and cotton led the $5 billion surge in value from last year, and even though damage from the recent rain and flooding was yet to be

tallied, Mr Jackson said it showed agriculture could lead the way in rebuilding our economy. “COVI-19 left a huge hole in budget bottom lines, but this is a clear indicator that if our state and our nation wants to grow into the future, farming is the way to go,” he said. “We have a strategy to build the sector to $30 billion in farmgate value by 2030, and the benefits will be felt right across country communities. “Our recent Stronger Ag Stronger Regions report showed investment in farming – and the associated returns – have multiple benefits for the bottom line,” said Mr Jackson.

$9.8 million for hydrogen project
World-class health facilities on show
LAST week I was thrilled to visit Graphite Energy’s energy storage centre at Lake Cargelligo to announce a whopping $9.8 million in funding for a low-cost green hydrogen project they’re working on in partnership with Toshiba and MGA Thermal.
IT was a pleasure to host regional health minister David Gillespie in Dubbo last week, showcasing some of our amazing health facilities. First stop was a tour of the newly-opened Western Cancer Centre. This was particularly special for me, as it was the fi rst time that I’ve had the opportunity to visit the $35 million facility since it opened. After years of campaigning for the centre, it was so exciting to see it in action, and wonderful to meet Wellington’s Tracey Brown – the fi rst patient to receive radiation therapy at the new centre. It’s so heartening to hear how the centre is already benefitting people like Tracey, who was able to drive to Dubbo each day to receive treatment for prostate cancer, instead of having to spend four weeks in Sydney. Minister Gillespie and I also got a sneak peek at the new buildings at the University of Sydney School of Rural Health Dubbo campus, before the fi rst intake of students begin the new Doctor of Medicine degree next year. The federal government provided more than $9 million for capital works to establish the graduate-en-
This funding, provided through the federal government’s modern manufacturing initiative, will go towards a $20 million project to develop a hydrogen production system with integrated thermal energy storage at the Lake Cargelligo facility. This is a very exciting project that is set to make a real difference as we transition to renewable energy and work towards achieving net zero emissions. This grant shores up Graphite Energy’s operations at Lake Cargelligo, enabling it to expand its production capability and employ more staff in order to participate in the emerging green hydrogen market. It’s fantastic to see great local manufacturers like Graphite Energy in Lake Cargelligo growing, creating jobs, and taking more of their outstanding product to the world.
AROUND THE ELECTORATE ATE Comment by DUGALD SAUNDERS, State Member for Dubbo
Regional job creation fund THIS week I was really excited to announce another Narromine business set to benefit from the Regional Job Creation Fund. Mumble Peg exports oranges across Asia and even into Canada, but locally it’s better known for its delicious fresh orange juice! The family-owned company received $200,000 from the Regional Job Creation Fund to install new equipment, including a colour vision grader and automated packer, boosting its capabilities to produce premium quality fruit juices. The upgrades will improve quality assurance and allow Mumble Peg to tap into higher quality export markets, while also increasing productivity and enabling staff to take up more supervisory roles in the business. This project will not only upskill existing employees but also create more than 37 jobs over the next three years, including extra packers, additions to the sales team and a
grading line operator. These upgrades will boost the local economy by allowing Mumble Peg to cater to more domestic and international buyers with its premium sorted fruit juices, and I look forward to seeing the benefits it will bring for the Narromine region!

Warrumbungle and Lachlan shires I HAD a big week on the road last week, visiting Coonabarabran, Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo, meeting with a number of constituents you have any symptoms, and follow the advice of health authorities. For anyone who had their second dose of vaccine sixmonths-ago, it’s time to go and get another one! And if you’re immune-compromised and had your second dose more than twomonths-ago, then I’d urge you to consult with your doctor about whether you would benefit from getting a booster earlier than the six-month window recommended for the general population.
NSW Ag smashes growth records NEW data reveals primary industries output has charged past all previous records and is now an estimated $20.9 billion industry! The 2021 NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Performance Data and Insights (PDI) report showed Industry increased its Gross Value of Production from $15.7 billion in just 12 months. Our farmers overcame every challenge thrown their way to smash the record books and grow agriculture by $5.2 billion to a $20.9 billion industry.

It was great to stop in at Cooinda Coonabarabran to hear more about the kitchen and laundry upgrade they’re undertaking thanks to $2.1 million in funding through the federal government’s building better regions fund. I also paid a visit to Western Plains Regional Development in Condobolin to take a look at their plans for a building renovation which is being funded through a $110,000 grant under the future drought fund’s network to build drought resilience program. Lachlan Shire Council mayor, John Medcalf, and general manager, Greg Tory, took me on a tour around Condobolin and Lake Cargelligo to see some of the projects funded under the local roads and community infrastructure program, like the Condobolin Youth Centre renovation and Lake Cargelligo walkway, as well as the Lake Cargelligo swimming pool which underwent a major tion of what our industry can achieve. Wheat headlines this year’s bumper harvest and is the star of this more than $5 billion increase in primary industries GVP. The crop’s value produced actually rose 541 per cent on the year before to $4 billion. I know rain is quite literally dampening our hopes for this year’s harvest, but this new data is proof our farmers can overcome any challenge that’s thrown at them!
Funding to help make roads safer LOCAL community groups have the opportunity to have their say on road safety initiatives, with round seven of the NSW government’s Community Road Safety Grants program now open. The NSW Government has invested nearly $2 million from the Community Road Safety Fund for this program over the last six years. Community Road Safety Grants allow local people who know their roads and travel them every day to implement projects and programs that can have a positive impact on their communities. The impact of a death or a serious injury on a local community is immeasurable and we want to do everything we can to drive the road toll towards zero.
I WAS pleased to announce last week that 10 mentees and nine mentors from the Parkes electorate have been selected in round one of the future drought fund drought resilience leaders mentoring program. The program is a partnership between the federal government and the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and will bring participants together to share knowledge and experience to create a new generation of drought resilient leaders. Congratulations to each of the successful applicants in the Parkes electorate, including mentees Emma Fessey (Brewarrina), Michelle Mort (Bourke), Georgia Hunt (Narrabri), Claudia Bryant (Broken Hill), Milly Ferguson (Dubbo), Emily Sinderberry (Bobadah), Peter Thornton (Dubbo), William Archer (Narromine), Phoebe Bridges (North Star), and Angus Groves (Dubbo) and mentors Bruce Maynard (Narromine), Deanne Stanfield (Nowley), Graham Lyon (Dubbo), Holly Pender (Merah North), Jillian Kelly (Coonamble), Kim Chandler (Dubbo), Lucy Staughton (Gunnedah), Peter Thornton (Dubbo), and Roger Fitzgerald (Moree).
Safety signs this harvest season MORE than 500 signs rolling out on key freight routes and level crossings across western parts of the State are reminding drivers to take extra care on the road this bumper harvest season. This year’s grain crop is shaping up to top a record 16 million tonnes, with headers already ripping into the task in the north of the state, and some grain receival sites opening for the fi rst time in seven years. This bumper harvest couldn’t come at a better time for our farmers... but it does come with additional safety concerns with more activity around silos and stored grain moving off site. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, so we’re rolling out two types of signs to remind drivers to be patient, slow down and take care on the road this harvest. The NSW government has teamed up with GrainCorp to roll out 27 electronic message signs along key road harvest routes, from Moree to Coolamon, promoting safety around managing fatigue, being aware of trucks and wearing a seatbelt... An additional 18 of these electronic messaging signs will be placed at high-risk level crossings. Until next time, stay well, Dugald

Graduating student Monique Ryan will be studying a bachelor of social work at university.
Trangie Central school students finally start HSC exams By SARAH PRESS A GLOBAL pandemic, restrictions, masks and learning from home: This year felt like 2020’s unwanted groundhog day. Yet despite the challenges of uncertainty, physical isolation, learning from home, and the tracking of daily COVID-19 case numbers, there’s still a group of students cele-
brating the end of their high school studies – the graduating class of Trangie Central School (TCS). This year, TCS bid farewell to a very resilient group of students: Ben McKinnon-Brown, Andreas Gordon, Daizie Smith, Courtney Kohlenberg, Erika Terry, Monique Ryan, Skye Winter, Coopa Hull, Trey George, and Cameron Cook.
With the year coming to an end, one would usually imagine that undertaking Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations and fi nishing off school-based apprenticeships would be the culmination of study and stress. But for these students, the HSC and the re-commencement of work placement has represented the much-anticipated fi nish line before life in the

and whatever curveballs life may throw at them.” Some students have accepted early offers for study at university; others are working full-time using their apprenticeship qualifications and a few are excited to see what career path they may yet take. Congratulations to Trangie central’s graduating class of 2021!

‘real world’ starts. “This year truly has been one to remember, particularly for our senior students who spent a lot of time in their final months of schooling, learning remotely,” said acting principal Gary Hansen. “They have defi nitely shown resilience and adaptability over the past two years, which will no doubt hold them in good stead for their futures
This two week daily program covers water awareness, confidence, survival, rescue skills, and safety. It is great to see our students learning and building their water confidence.

In maths, students were challenged to be engineers and construct a 3D shape with 12 straws and only eight joiners.
Wearable art
Also known as ‘art to wear’, refers to individually designed pieces. We designed and transferred symbols and images that represented us to create unique and original wearable art shoes! Our design brief was to design a shoe that could be made by refugees using the materials available to them in a refugee camp. The students had to draw a design plan, labelling the parts of the shoe and naming the materials used for each part before construction.
The mixed cohort were all smiles as they engaged in song and dance based activities. PHOTOS: TRANGIE PRESCHOOL.
Music activities for Trangie preschoolers By KATRINA JANHSEN THE preschool room at Trangie Preschool and Early Learning Centre have been immersed in an entertaining music program, since returning from lock down. The program varies each week and not only is it making the children aware that music is all around us, but it is also introducing the children to
features of music such as beat, tempo, tone and rhythm. Music is a fundamental learning skill in early childhood as it helps to improve aspects such as fi ne motor skills and coordination, language development, focus and memory, teamwork, confidence, early literacy, and math skills. Other skills that are familiarised each week include following instructions and di-
rections, teamwork and active listening. The use of active listening whilst tapping in time, strengthens the connection between the body and brain, encouraging further cognitive development. The use of rhyming words in the songs, supports early literacy development and helps children to expand their expressive language skills. The preschool children are loving the music program!
They use a range of musical instruments and props to keep the beat, make their own music and are learning the moves to the different dances. They include both structured and unstructured movement activities and instrument playing. Children also participate in active listening activities. Some of their favourites are Three Ships, Tap Your Sticks, Tembo and Jump for Joy.

Primary schoolers learn to ‘Heal Country’ during NAIDOC week By BROOKE CHANDLER FOR the sixth week of term, St Augustine’s Parish School participated in a NAIDOC program. As an Australian observance, NAIDOC Week is usually celebrated in early July. However, schools across the country have experienced significant COVID-19 related setbacks. This year’s theme is ‘Heal Country’ which calls for stronger measures to recognise, protect and maintain all aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage.
Narromine Wiradjuri Elder, Uncle Peter, introduced the theme to the students during a welcome to country and smoking ceremony on Monday. The asphalt area of the playground hosted dance and music lessons for infants students later that afternoon. Uncle Lachlan and Aunty June from Milan Dhiiyaan, brought all 97 St Augustine Parish students together on Tuesday to discuss the importance of Aboriginal land management. “For centuries, Aboriginal people have used methods to care for
the land, allowing it to thrive,” Uncle Lachlan told the students. “Some of these have been unknown to many other people until recently.” Aunty June proceeded to show the students a video about hazard reduction burning, often known as back burning. With many questions asked by students, St Augustine’s Parish staff are thrilled with the level of engagement. A liturgy, art workshops and performances of each year group's dance routines, were other activities the students participated in throughout the week.

Motime wins Chris Hemsworth-named Cowra race
By COLIN HODGES
Cowra – Saturday, November 20 PARKES-BASED jockey Tiffany Jeffries, with an outstanding ride, overcame the outside barrier on If You Say So to win the opening event at Cowra on Saturday, the 1100 metres Front Line Workers Thank You Maiden Plate. Eased out of the early speed battle by Jeffries, If You Say So settled back in the field and took the shortest way home along the inside rail. Canberra galloper Mixed Up Factor (Michael Travers, $1.70 favourite) shot well clear at the top of the straight but was overhauled close to home with If You Say So ($4) scoring by a half head from Cheap Diamond (Damon Budler, $8) which fi nished on the outside while Mixed Up Factor faded to third. The $1,000,000 The Gong was run at Kembla Grange on Saturday however, trainer Melissa Harrison chose to miss her home track meeting and instead head to Cowra where she had a winning double, If You Say So and Queen Brahmos. In the interestingly named Cowra Dental Practice Tooth Hurty Maiden Plate over 1375 metres,
Queen Brahmos (Jess Del Frari, $4.60) came from midfield to beat Fortuneous (Andrew Banks, $2.50 fav.) and Coupla Days (Mathew Cahill, $2.80). Retail magnate Jerry Harvey has hundreds of racehorses with some of them trained by Joe Cleary at Queanbeyan including Pruscino, winner of the 950 metres Railway Hotel Class One Handicap. Sent to the early lead by Jake Pracey-Holmes, Pruscino ($1.50 fav.) was eased down over the closing stages to win by over six lengths from Keep It Down (Damon Budler, $3.60) and Confi ned Thoughts (Eleanor Webster-Hawes,$4). Noted for racing near the tail of the field and running home strongly, the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo-trained Nepenthes was ridden to perfection by Tony Cavallo in the 1700 metres Pumpkin Smugglers Benchmark 50 Handicap. Broo Boss (Ken Dunbar, $11) hit the lead approaching the home turn but Nepenthes ($4) came with a rush to prevail by a short neck with Goodradigbee (Andrew Banks, $3.50 equal fav.) a battling third, three lengths away. Apprentice Nyssa Burrells who won the recent Cootamundra Cup on Zakeriz continued her good form when winning the 950 metres St Ralph’s Old Boys Class 1 Handicap on Guiltless at Cowra. Trained at Canberra by Darryl Rolfe, Guiltless ($7) held a slender lead turning for home and held on
to win in a three way photo fi nish from Miracle Knight (Ruby Haylock, $21) And Tiger King (Ken Dunbar, $7). Formerly based at Cowra where he was a successful jockey, Michael Travers now has a dual jockey-trainer licence and operates from stables at Wagga Wagga. Travers turned likely defeat in to victory when he rode Motime for Canberra trainer Gratz Vella in the 1100 metres Chris Hemsworth Cowra Ambassador Benchmark 50 Handicap. After being the leader, Motime looked doomed when passed by two other runners in the straight however, Travers with some great riding raised another effort from his mount. Motime ($2.40) kicked back to beat Japingka (Zara Lewis, $2.20 fav.) by a neck with Billy Bent Ear (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.60) a long head away in third place. Japingka went close to completing a double for Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazleton who had won the previous day with Zamali at Orange. From the tail of the field, Zamali (Billy Cray, $10) fi nished fast to beat Tough Case (Jenny Duggan, $5) and Danish Prince (Jess Taylor, $3.70 fav.) in the 1300 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap. The Cowra meeting was well-promoted and attracted a very good crowd which is an encouraging sign for the Cowra Cup meeting in January.

Outback Dragons Boat Club resumes By CHRIS ROBINSON THE Outback Dragon Boat Club has resumed paddling since COVID-19 lockdown. Paddling up the Macquarie River has been challenging for our members due to the strong current. It is a good method of training though. Our next trip away is to Narrabri. Locals there are keen to form their own club and we will lead them through a demonstration day. We are donating one of our old boats to the Narrabri Club. We believe it is great to help nearby clubs. Our members have been fundraising all year round, working
Sport
on the bar at rugby ladies day as well as derby day. They have also taken the COVID-19 officer roles at other sporting occasions. We have 30 members, both men and women, attending the Lunar New Year (February 2022) at Cockle Bar, Pyrmont Sydney. This is a highlight of the year to participate in many men’s and women’s races against Sydney and coastal teams. We get great support from these teams. Also in February, a crew is also travelling to do an eight kilometre paddle at Bayview around Scotland Island in Sydney. We look forward to welcoming back our Trangie and Narromine members after the harvest.

By MATT ELLIS NARROMINE under 14s played against Wellington on Saturday morning in Dubbo with Wellington winning the toss and elected to bowl fi rst. Jake Sherwood was the top scorer for Narromine compiling 24 not out in a total of 83. Despite some tidy bowling from Tom Kerr who claimed 2-8, Wellington were able to pass the target with four wickets down and come away with the win. Next weekend Narromine will host Gilgandra at Olsen Park in what promises to be another quality game of junior cricket. A few years back, Cricket Australia introduced new playing formats for junior cricket in an attempt to improve the enjoyment and development of young players who are still learning the game. This means that youngsters progress from learning the skills in Woolworths

Cricket Blast and have a staged entry into junior cricket. The Cricket Australia stage one playing format is a seven-a-side game with all players having the opportunity to bat for a set amount of balls before they retire, and other players have a turn out in the middle. Games are 20 overs a side with fielders rotating at the end of each over and all players having an opportunity to bowl and occupy the various positions in the field. Narromine have two teams playing this format in the Dubbo Junior Cricket Association under 12Bs competition this season with Ned Kerr starring with the ball on the weekend claiming four wickets for just three runs. With the bat, Matthew Smyth was the standout making 18 runs for the second week in a row. Last weekend, Narromine’s Brewery Shield side were scheduled to take on Bourke in Bourke.
Unfortunately, this game was abandoned due to the weather without a ball being bowled. The next assignment for the defending premiers will be on December 12 when they host Nyngan at Dundas Park. A well made 40 not out from Mitchell Smith has led Narromine to a five wicket win over Newtown Kings in Kelly Cup action over the weekend. After winning the toss and batting fi rst, Kings were dismissed for 137 with Daniel Battishall the pick of the bowlers claiming 3-21 from his eight overs. Narromine were able to chase the target down bringing up the winning runs in the 27th over. The next match for Narromine in the Kelly Cup will be when they host Newtown Rhinos at Dundas Park next Saturday afternoon. The Pinnington Cup team will also return to action next weekend when they take on Macquarie Cricket Club in Dubbo after having the bye last weekend.
