Narromine railway station branded ‘a shocker’ Trainload of tourists greeted to town with vandalism and graffiti By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE’S nineteenth-century heritage railway station is far from its glory days and residents have branded it a disgrace. Social media reported on Monday that a disgusted local expressed concern about the state of the facility which greeted a trainload of tourists recently. The accompanying photos were sickening. Reaction from the community was swift – and justifiably – harsh. Residents condemned the vandalism and graffiti, the overflowing, unemptied rubbish bins, the unkempt weedstrewn platform, and evidence of unauthorised access to the station building. They also directed their anger at various organisations believed responsible for the station’s maintenance and upkeep, including Narromine Shire Council and Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC). As it turns out, the ARTC has overall responsibility for maintaining the Narromine railway station, and Narromine Shire Council is re-
sponsible for waste collection. A spokesperson for ARTC told the Narromine Star that civil staff regularly attend the site to ensure the safety and operation of the rail network, and during these visits the station is also monitored. “Upkeep of the grounds is regularly assessed and maintenance is carried out when required,” the spokesperson said. The station was last inspected by ARTC staff on April 13 and no damage was visible during this inspection, the spokesperson said. It seems incredible that the organisation operating the rail network and tasked with caring for and maintaining the heritage station built in 1882 has not addressed its deteriorating condition before now. “Narromine Station is a locally significant heritage asset and is currently maintained by ARTC. The upkeep of Narromine Station is a priority to ARTC,” the spokesperson told the Narromine Star on April 19. “Staff attended the site today to secure the property and will

Routine inspections will continue to be carried out to maintain the building and prevent trespassing,” the spokesperson said. Continued page 2

From page 1 General Manager of Narromine Shire Council, Jane Redden, said she would look into the waste collection situation at the station and advised that graffiti needs to be reported to the police. “I agree, it is not a good sight for the travelling public,” Ms Redden said. The station also serves as an official stop for buses travelling to Nyngan, Bourke, Broken Hill and Dubbo. The waiting shed nearby is littered with graffiti and certainly not a welcome place to wait be-
fore or after travel. The Narromine Star asked ARTC if the organisation is working with any local groups to help maintain the buildings. “ARTC has successfully worked with local community groups to carry out preservation work at other stations and always welcomes interested parties to reach out and discuss partnership opportunities,” the spokesperson said. The station was last restored between 1993 and 1995 by a group of unemployed people through Narromine Community
How the station looked earlier this week, on April 18. Skillshare, said local historian Norma Meadley. A plaque onsite dedicates the refurbishment to those workers, their team leader Neil Casey, and project manager Marjorie Riley. “If other towns can keep
their railway precinct in great working order, why can’t we?” Mrs Meadley said. By late Wednesday, significant work had been undertaken to clean up the site.

THE appearance of a mobile camera on Dandaloo Road, Narromine, just west of the level crossing, has raised a few eyebrows as well as some tempers. Residents can breathe easy. According to Transport for NSW, the camera is not an enforcement device and motorists will not be fi ned. It is monitoring traffic flow at the level crossing as part of a strategy to improve
safety at level crossings across NSW. This is the advice from Transport for NSW, the owner of the device. The solar-powered unit will be in place for at least a couple of months, Narromine Shire Council has advised. The unit is under video surveillance for the duration of its placement locally. The Narromine Star hopes to supply further detailed information from Transport for NSW about this in next week’s issue.

Great to see Glenn, but where’s Melinda... and the others? By SHARON BONTHUYS A retired couple visiting the Glenn McGrath statue at Narromine on April 13 asked the Narromine Star if there is a statue in town honouring Narromine’s favourite daughter, sprint star Melinda Gainsford-Taylor. When told no, they responded with “why not?” It’s a fair question given Ms Gainsford-Taylor’s achievements as a national and international sprinter. The triple Olympian, Commonwealth Games medallist and 1995 200-metre indoor world championship winner won 13 individual titles across a range of sprint distances during her athletics career. Born in Narromine in 1971, Ms Gainsford-Taylor started her career as a child with Little Athletics. She retired from elite sport in 2002 and is still heavily involved in Little Athletics Australia. The Narromine Star asked shire mayor, Cr Craig Davies, about honouring Ms Gainsford-Taylor. Cr Davies pointed out the difficulty in honouring elite sportspeople from the Narromine Shire due to the sheer number of them and the cost
involved. “There are actually eleven world champions from the shire,” he said. “Probably from a funding point of view it becomes seriously difficult. “Our night of Champions [held a few years ago] was certainly designed to acknowledge the champions from within the community and this is a much cheaper option than statues. “The Glen McGrath statue cost $77,000 in 2009 and would be more than double that now,” Cr Davies said. How do you think the Narromine Shire should recognise its elite athletes? Are statues the answer? Is a sporting hall of fame or museum something to consider? Let the Narromine Star know what you think. Email us at newsroom@ narrominestar.com.au, call 6889 1656, or use the contact form at www.narrominestar.com.au.

12-month extension to ADF veteran suicide inquiry is ‘vital’, Chair says THE Chair of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide says the 12-month extension of the inquiry, announced last week, is vital to thoroughly investigate the complex factors that contribute to deaths by suicide. Commissioner Nick Kaldas made the comments on the final day of a two-week public hearing in Canberra. “We requested this extension to give us the opportunity to thoroughly review the complex matters before us – the breadth of which is now more apparent,” Commissioner Kaldas said. “It affords us adequate time to conduct more hearings and private sessions, to engage with stakeholders and to pursue and analyse data from Defence and
DVA that has up to this point, been difficult to obtain.” During the eight-day hearing, the inquiry heard from 37 witnesses, including those with lived experience and representatives from Defence and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. The next public hearing will be held in Townsville from 20 June 2022. Any current or former Australian Defence Force members who wish to share their experiences are being encouraged to make a submission. The Royal Commission has so far received 1384 submissions. Every contribution is carefully reviewed and will inform both the interim and final reports, a spokesperson said.

Tomingley’s Alpaca team get their award... finally By SHARON BONTHUYS IT only took seven weeks but Amee and Shaun Dennis from Tomingley eventually received their history-making tourism award – in the mail. It was a bit of a let down after the thrill of attending the NSW Tourism Awards ceremony in person was also taken from them due to COVID restrictions. In early February the Quentin Park Alpacas and Studio Gallery proprietors were thrilled to learn their agritourism business had won a bronze award in the New Tourism Business category. They watched the virtual ceremony from a friend’s home. Gold and silver awards in that category went to huge Sydney-centric corporate entities the Sydney Zoo and A for Adina. Amee Dennis shrugged off the disappointment of receiving the award by mail in late March, instead focusing on a huge Easter weekend and plans to expand.
“We’ve had to put an extra Easter egg hunt on Monday to cope with demand,” she told the Narromine Star. The farm also boasts 13 new baby alpacas who will make their debut soon. Plans are underway to install a commercial kitchen onsite which will enable the facility to provide professionally brewed drinks, as well as host corporate events and weddings. “People are looking for places to go for a drive and have a coffee or some lunch. Why not come here? It’s a great place to relax,” she said. Ms Dennis has also spent considerable time establishing links with suppliers locally and interstate to provide the items she needs in the commercial kitchen. Will there be another award perhaps for this small family agritourism business that has helped put Tomingley on the map? “You will have to wait and see,” said Ms Dennis, with a smile.
Mudyigalang donation helps hearing impaired By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Mudyigalang “Many Friends” Craft Group has donated $1200 to Fire + Rescue Station 401 Narromine to help locally hearing impaired residents live safely in their homes. The station will use the funds to purchase two special photoelectric smoke alarms designed to assist hearing impaired community members. “We recently had an enquiry for one of these, so the timing [of this donation] is perfect,” said Fire Captain Ewen Jones of the Mudyigalang donation. “We have another elderly resident in mind as well.” The donation includes the proceeds of a recent raffle by Mudyigalang, Captain Jones said. The group has also donated to Station 401’s Variable Message Board in recent years. Station 401 has installed three of these special smoke alarms to date, Captain Jones said. All were donated by local not-forprofit groups including the Nar-
romine Rotary Club, Narromine Lions Club and Narromine Men’s Shed. The photoelectric smoke alarms to be purchased by the Mudyigalang donation have a vibrating device which goes under the pillow, known as a “bed shaker”, and a very bright strobe light that flashes. These alarms have other uses beyond smoke detection which will also assist hearing impaired residents. Using different coloured strobe lights, the alarms can also alert residents if a baby cries, when incoming calls are received, and when the doorbell rings. NSW is one of several states and territories that do not currently subsidise the purchase of these special smoke detectors for eligible residents. Donations such as those by Mudyigalang and other not-forprofit groups are helping people in need to get these life-saving devices without having to pay full price. Well done, Mudyigalang!

A few moments of traffic chaos...

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE three-way intersection at Dandaloo Street and Burraway Street at mid-morning is not the greatest place to break down, especially when towing a caravan. This was the situation facing some tourists whose 4WD vehicle lost power as it rounded the corner into
Dandaloo Street at 10.30 am on April 13. A few moments of traffic chaos followed at the intersection while the owners tried to restart their vehicle. Motorists coming from the southern end of Dandaloo Street and Burraway Street had to carefully navigate around the stranded vehicle. This included another
4WD towing a van. Motorists seeking to u-turn in front of Kierath’s shopping complex could not do so as the van blocked the turning lane. The driver of the stranded vehicle managed to restart the engine and the tourists were on their way again, and traffic returned to normal.

Pioneering pilot honoured in first of NSW’s Blue Plaques The late Nancy Bird Walton, pictured in 2004, has been honoured with a Blue Plaque which honours remarkable people who helped shape NSW.
By STEPH ALLEN A NAME closely associated with Narromine aviation has been honoured with one of 17 Blue Plaques – designed to recognise the state’s most memorable people, events and stories. Nancy Bird Walton, a pioneering pilot and the fi rst Australian woman to fly commercially, was one of those to receive a plaque in the initial round of public nominations. Ms Walton opened the Narromine Aviation Museum around 2002, and a street in Narromine also features her name. Known as the ‘Angel of the Outback’, Ms Walton received her pilot’s licence at 18 in 1933. Narromine Aero Club, the oldest aviation organisation in the country, helped her get her fi rst aircraft, which she flew in a tour of regional NSW. Ms Walton purchased the historic landmark homestead ‘Mungeribar’ in Narromine in the 1970s, returning often to the town to visit as a special guest after she moved to Sydney. She transported the sick from isolated regions around the country, helped set up the

Royal Far West Children's Health Scheme and was an early pilot for the Royal Flying Doctors' Service. She received numerous honours over her lifetime. The National Trust of Australia
declared her an Australian Living Treasure in 1997. Ms Walton passed away in 2009 at 93-years-old. Minister for Heritage James Griffin said the NSW Blue Plaques program was inspired
by the London Blue Plaques program, and provided an opportunity to celebrate the remarkable people and stories that helped shape the state. “It’s incredibly exciting to see so many diverse stories
from around the state come to light through the Blue Plaques program,” Mr Griffin said. “This initiative is all about recognising the eclectic characters, personalities and important public figures that have made or become part of the history and fabric of our state. “These 17 people, moments or stories that I’m announcing today were all nominated by their local communities,” he said. The NSW public will be invited to nominate additional noteworthy people, stories and events this year. The Blue Plaques will be added to sites during the second half of 2022. The nomination for Nancy Bird Walton came from the Port Macquarie Hastings Local Government Area which includes her town of birth, Kew. The location where her Blue Plaque will be installed will be announced later in the year.

Apply for apprentice scholarships FIRST year apprentices facing fi nancial or personal hardship are invited to apply for the Bert Evans Apprentice Scholarship. The $15,000 scholarship will help 120 apprentices undertake their trade and study, according to Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders. “This scholarship program offers a great incentive for eligible locals to kick-start their career,” Mr Saunders said. “Whether you need to purchase new tools, cover fuel or car maintenance, or pay for additional study, these scholarships have helped people across our region overcome personal barriers to fi nish their apprenticeships and follow their trade calling.” The NSW Government will invest $1.8 million in the program, which provides $5000 over three years to support apprentices who demonstrate a high aptitude for vocational education and training and are committed to their on the job and formal training. The scholarship program is named in honour of the late Bert Evans AO, a passionate advocate of vocational education for more than 30 years. Applications close late May.
Detecting real emails from the fake ones Contributed by STEVE COOCHIN “DING!” A new email has entered your inbox. On fi rst view it looks like it’s from your bank telling you that something really important has happened with your account. It has a link to an online site that it wants you to press. While it might look real, take a minute to investigate before you do anything. We see those scam stories far too often in the news, especially with the rapid adoption of online services and apps which we all have to use for day to day life. This has provided many opportunities to scammers. Here are some ways to determine if that email is real or not. 1. Check the sender’s email address Most mainstream email platforms will generally show you who or where the email has come from. Sometimes just the sender’s name will be displayed or the name and email address will be visible.
Many Australians have fallen victim to email scams, with older users particularly vulnerable. The main thing to look for here is the website after the ‘@’ sign. Real email will be sent from the official domain. In many instances where a fake email is pretending to be from an official source, you will see a fake domain listed. For example, an email from a bank that comes from “bank name” but the email is bank@ fakedomain.com is certainly
not something to be trusted. 2. Check that email link Scammers want you to click on something in that email message. This is how scam email works. Scammers have a very good knowledge of how technology works, and will use that to obtain your information or your money. If using a computer: hover the mouse over that link or
button in the email – do not click the link – to check the location of where that link or button will take you. If using a smartphone with touch screens: press down and hold the link; this will bring up a menu that will show the internet address. The important thing to look for with that link internet address is where it is going to take you if you click on it. Real email will lead you to the platform or app to which it is meant to take you. Fake email will say it’s going to take you to an internet address but will actually lead you elsewhere. If you are unsure, just don’t click it. This is the fi rst rule of internet security. If everything looks ok and it feels real but you still aren’t sure, simply leave it. You can also call your bank to confi rm if they have sent out emails with the message you received. Remember to stay safe on the internet and be wary of anything that doesn’t seem right. • Developer Steve Coochin is at developersteve.com
Colour run brings community together post-COVID
By STEPH ALLEN
AFTER two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and isolation, communities are more eager than ever to get back out into the community – including fun physical events, designed to not only put one’s fitness to the test, but also bring locals together. On May 1, Narromine Jets will team up with Macquarie Credit Union to help a community colour run. Narromine Jets’ publicity officer Sally Everett said the organisers were committed to bringing an event “that is fun, great for mental and physical fitness” while also be-
ing “family friendly”. “It is time to enjoy 5km, walk or run, no pressure,” Ms Everett said. “Get some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Narromine Wetlands. “Narromine Jets are proud to join forces with Macquarie Credit Union to bring this event to fruition at a cost-effective price for the whole family to enjoy. “Jets have taken the initiative to organise this event with Macquarie Credit Union as we are a club that has a family culture and recognise the importance of supporting the community and giving back to the community that supports us.”
There’ll be colour, fun and exercise when the Narromine Jets help host a community colour run this May.

Parishioners enjoyed a hot drink after the service. FOR the fi rst time since the pandemic began, St Andrews Uniting Church in Narromine was able to hold its annual Easter dawn service on April 17. About 15 people braved the
early morning chill on Easter Sunday to gather at the rotunda at Tom Perry Park to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after his crucifi xion. The church has been hold-
ing dawn religious services on Easter Sunday for about ten years, said lay preacher Geoff Smith, who conducted the service. During the pandemic, dawn services could not be held due
to restrictions. “It’s nice to be able to do this again,” Mr Smith said. Following the service, parishioners enjoyed a hot drink at the picnic table as the sun rose.
5.30am: Dawn Service @ Soldiers’ memorial hall, followed by breakfast at Trangie USMC. 10.20am: March from IGA to the memorial hall 11.00am: ANZAC service at the memorial hall.

Regional, State & National news Authorities warn pig and horse owners about Japanese encephalitis STATE and federal biosecurity authorities are alerting pig and horse owners to be vigilant for Japanese encephalitis virus. The virus is spread by mosquitoes and can infect people and animals. Already this year, three people have died from the virus and there are more than 60 piggeries with infected herds across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia. To date there have been no official reports of the disease in horses, but the threat remains while mosquito numbers are high due to recent
rain and flooding. Australian Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Mark Schipp said governments and industry were working together to contain the virus. “The best course of action is to try and avoid mosquito bites to yourself and your animals,” Dr Schipp said. “And part of that means reducing mosquito infestations. We have developed a guide on how to control mosquitoes around piggeries and we are currently developing a similar guide that can be used for horses. “The key things to help pre-
vent mosquito bites on horses is to put a hooded rug on them, a fly mask and apply an insect repellent. Stabling horses overnight can also help.” The disease causes encephalitis (brain swelling) in horses. In pigs it results in production losses including abortions and stillbirths, and infertility in adult pigs. Japanese encephalitis is a nationally notifiable disease which means it must be reported to a veterinarian or the Emergency Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888. More information is available at outbreak.gov.au.

Macquarie Cotton Growers 2021 awards night Contributed by MACQUARIE COTTON GROWERS ASSOCIATION THE Macquarie Cotton Growers Association (MCGA) committee was thrilled to have an awards night that was not impacted by the ravages of Covid. On March 10, 130 people celebrated the 2021 growing season at the Macquarie Inn, Dubbo. Dave Dugan hosted the evening and certainly created a great vibe that kept the audience on their toes. Direct eye contact often led to a shout out or a titbit about that person being shared with the room. The winner of the Young Achiever of the Year Award was the very deserving Billy Browning from Narromine. Billy is a great community contributor to the Industry. He is the Chair of the MCGA as well as volunteering his time to be on the MRFF committee. Through his strong networks and sincere relationships, Billy has been able to encourage a new group of grow-
ers that have not typically been involved to come along to field days and golf days. Billy is an understated influencer and has a great future. We are lucky and proud that he is part of our community. The Suncorp Top Field Award was taken out by the Dickson Family at “Marebone”, Warren. Mitch Heath presented the Farm of the Year award to GS & NM Whittaker, “Wingfield”, Warren – Agronomist Dave Klaare (Nutrien Warren). Average yield of 16.43 bales/hectare over 212 hectares. The ABOVE average of 225 hectares Farm of the Year also went to Dickson Family “ Marebone”, Warren – Agronomist Dave Klaare (Nutrien Warren), with 16.68 Bales/hectare over 496 ha. The “Show us your Bog” Award’ went to the best photograph of the most spectacular bogs of the 2021 season. With a wet harvest there was some stiff competition, but Timmy Whiteley came away with the $400 cash prize from Western Farm Machinery. The Jim Beale Memorial Award for Services to the Cotton Industry was presented by Skye Tyrwhitt to Amanda Thomas for her work in the industry over the last 25 years. Amanda has been on the MCGA for over 15 years and in that time has implemented many great initiatives that have had lasting effects on the industry and benefited the community. Finally, we celebrated a ‘Legend of the Macquarie Valley’. Not necessarily given out each year, the award went to another of our Valley’s colourful characters, Tony McAlary. Tony’s legacy to industry is a long list; he was instrumental in creating the MCGA which was the fi rst of its kind in Australia. He went on to become a cornerstone of the industry. The night was a huge success and hopefully this is just the fi rst of many social functions the MCGA will host in 2022.

It just works: smart technology in Narromine and the region A REPORT about what regional and rural consumers in north-west NSW understand about ‘smart technology’ was launched in Dubbo on April 7 by Regional Education Commissioner Fiona Nash. Conducted in 2021 and funded by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network, the research included six case studies and more than 130 participants including Local Aboriginal Land Councils. The research focused on Dubbo, Narromine, Wellington, Peak Hill, and Gilgandra. The report ‘It Just Works!’: Regional and Rural Consumer Understanding of Smart Technologies in North-West NSW was completed by Senior Lecturer Dr Holly Randell-Moon from the Charles Sturt School of Indigenous Australian Studies. The report provides information on consumer rights in relation to smart technologies in regional and rural northwest NSW and is one of the few studies to examine this consumer base. The report also provides information on First Nations’ smart development in the region.
Pictured at the ‘smart technology’ report’s launch are former Deputy Mayor of Dubbo Anne Jones, Narromine Mayor Craig Davies, Dr Holly Randell-Moon, Regional Education Commissioner Fiona Nash, and Regional Development Australia’s Ms Megan Dixon. PHOTO: SUPPLIED In Narromine, research participants tended to report that telecommunications quality was fair, Dr Randell-Moon said. Narromine Mayor Cr Craig Davies identified quality telecommunications as a key issue for the region. “The problem we have is that without smart
technology, we cannot attract industry here. Without smart technology, you can’t attract young people here. “Technology should be seen as electricity, water... They’re the things that make people come to rural New South Wales,” the report cited Cr Davies.
Participants were excited by the possibilities of smart tech creating a great future for the region. One Narromine participant described how telecommunications could positively impact the choice of regional residence. “My tech peers in these major cities, they’re all leaving literally for similar reasons... We’ve left because it made no sense to be there anymore,” the participant said. The project identified key themes and issues regarding regional and rural consumer understandings and use of smart technologies: f Polarisation in perceptions of telecommunications quality (‘pretty good’ or ‘ordinary’. f Smart tech literacy and champions. f E-waste (electronic waste) considerations. f Inclusivity and consumer rights There is high awareness of smart technologies and applications, but relatively little use, Dr Randell-Moon said. The use and development of technologies and applications for planning, business, and consumption should be cham-
pioned by selected individuals in the five rural town areas. Local Aboriginal Land Councils are key stakeholders in planning and development in the region, including for smart regions and rural areas. Dr Randell-Moon said there is confusion regarding consumer rights specifically in relation to data ownership, remote data monitoring, and who to go to for advice regarding smart tech. Recommendations from the report included providing further information to rural and regional communities promoting consumer rights, and clarifying the role of local government councils in relation to these rights. Further opportunities should be found for all community stakeholders to trial the use of smart technologies and applications to increase familiarity and trust of the technology. Local councils and other stakeholders should identify the opportunities from engagement with Local Aboriginal Land Councils and First Nations in the development of smart regions, she said.
New awards program to recognise rural small businesses By SHARON BONTHUYS A NEW awards program will recognise small rural and regional businesses in Australia, fi lling a perceived gap in public recognition within the small business sector. Developed by the team behind the Spend With Us/Buy From A Bush Business Marketplace, which has over 360,000 followers, the Australian Rural Business Awards (ARBA) will be announced in mid-June. “On an initial Google search some months back, we noticed no ‘specific’ rural or regional awards for small businesses,” explained awards co-founder Jenn Donovan. “There were plenty of agricultural and small business-focused ones, but nothing concentrated entirely on rural and regional small businesses.” Anyone can nominate an eligible business for one or more of the multiple categories, and a public vote will help determine the winners of People’s Choice awards in each category. Eligible businesses are those with less than 20 employees collectively which are owned and operated outside a 50km radius from the outskirts of an Australian capital city. Nomination categories include: new business excellence award, rural business to watch, overcoming the odds, positive impact (making a difference), Indigenous business
of the year, young rural business of the year, excellence in e-commerce, bricks and mortar (retailers) excellence, service based business of the year, innovation and sustainability excellence, disability business excellence, Australian-made small business excellence, and microbusiness excellence award. From the initial nomination process, businesses will be asked to submit information which will be considered by an independent judging panel. “Judges will assess fi nalists on their award submission and look for responses that stand out and impact,” said awards co-founder Sarah Britz. “[They] will look for different things in different categories. In the category of “positive impact (making a difference award) they will be looking for businesses who make a difference in their own lives, their community, and their customers,” she said. For the inaugural awards there will be a single winner Australia-wide in each of the 13 categories. Should the event expand and be held annually, so too will the awards grow and develop. Ms Donovan hopes to make the awards an annual event. Nominations close next week, with fi nalists to be revealed by the end of May. The winners will be announced at a virtual dinner in June.
NSW Inquiry begins into homelessness amongst over-55s THE NSW Upper House Standing Committee on Social Issues has commenced an inquiry into homelessness amongst older people aged over 55 in NSW. The Chair of the Standing Committee on Social Issues, the Hon Scott Barrett MLC, commented: “Older people rely on housing for their health and wellbeing, but there are concerns homelessness is on the rise for this very demographic. “This inquiry will examine the rate of homelessness and factors affecting the inci-
dence of homelessness among older people, as well as impacts on health and wellbeing and challenges in navigating homelessness services. “In addition, the committee will examine opportunities for change and improvement to address this important issue. “This will include early intervention, services to support older people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, options to better support older people to obtain and maintain secure accommodation, and best practice approaches
in other jurisdictions. “Data collection will also be a key focus”, the Chair continued. The committee is due to report by 30 September 2022. The committee is keen to hear from stakeholders and members of the community. Submissions can be lodged online and close on 29 May 2022. For more information about the inquiry, including the committee membership and the terms of reference, and to lodge a submission, see the inquiry webpage.

Political News & Opinion ANZAC Day services to honour the sacrifices made AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by D DUGALD ERS, SAUNDERS, ember State Member for Dubbo bo
AFTER the past two years of uncertainty, and even cancellations of ANZAC Day services around the world due to the COVID pandemic, it’s heartening to be able to, once again, join together to honour the
sacrifices made by those who have served our nation during war and in peacetime. For many families across our district, ‘sacrifice’ is not an abstract concept; many have had family members leave our shores; many did not come home. On Anzac Day, we honour these sacrifices. In more recent times, our communities have had to call on the ANZAC qualities of mateship, courage and endurance, and we’ve faced many challenges. I want to thank all the men
and women of the Australian Defence Force still serving today, at home and abroad. Like the teams from Operation COVID-19 Assist – individuals who risked their own health and safety to help our community tackle the greatest threat we’ve faced in most of our lifetimes. In doing so they spent months away from their own families, to help strangers. 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. The pandemic, and the confl ict in Ukraine, are two time-
ly reminders that these freedoms should never be taken for granted. I want to express my constant admiration for those who served, and those who continue to preserve their memories. We should be proud of our continued strong sense of community, and should never forget those who served, fought and died for the freedom of our wonderful country. Lest We Forget. ••• APPLICATIONS are now open for the NSW Government’s Bert Evans Apprentice Schol-
arship, which provides grants of $15,000 over three years for apprentices facing fi nancial or personal hardship. Apprentices are a critical part of our skilled workforce and we’re committed to helping them thrive!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Response to suggestion Narromine should have a levee Dear Editor, Bruce Fragar makes very good sense with his suggestion that Narromine should have a levee to protect the town. I truly wish it were that easy. The fi rst flood levee study for Narromine was conducted in 1998 and since then there have been a further three along with a peer review. You may well ask how it takes 25 years to undertake a study that most people would work out was simply common sense. It’s called Government. It ba-
sically comes down to the fact that the terms of reference for the initial study was too limited and omitted any detail of the Webb’s Siding area that saw over 100,000 megs per day of flood water through it in 1955. Inland Rail has also caused issues in the sense that no planning could be undertaken until such time as a cross-reference of all studies show concurrence in all aspects of the outcomes. That point has been well and truly reached and
Council have now been given funding for a Detailed Planning process to go ahead. Council are very much beholden to the State Government for funding of the whole process. The current detailed planning is in excess of $500,000. Unfortunately, despite our very best efforts to elevate the process, we simply have to wait for the bureaucrats to do their work, funding money to become available, and the next step is taken. We wait

for months at a time until the bureaucracy catches up, and then go again. I am very hopeful that we can have a levee within the next couple of years which is now conditional on Federal funding being available. The state has pledged 66 per cent of the funding but the Feds have offered us nothing to date despite numerous approaches to make up the difference of what will amount to a figure in excess of $25 million in total.
In light of the recent devastation caused by flooding along the coast it would seem logical that the Federal Government would wish to support a growing centre on Inland Rail rather than wait for a flood and go into clean up mode. The cost to the Shire of a major 1955-style flood would be as much as $200 million. I hope our approach for funding this week is more successful than previous ones. Craig Davies, Mayor, Narromine Shire.

Development, community planning and Return & Earn on council’s radar By SHARON BONTHUYS DEVELOPMENT was high on the agenda at the April meeting of the Narromine Shire Council on April 13. From development approvals and applications to development proposals, there is significant activity underway across the shire in this space. Other discussion highlights included the release of the draft Community Strategic Plan 2032 for public exhibition, and in principle support for a Return and Earn station in Narromine. The meeting opened at 5.30pm with prayer and an Acknowledgement of Country. All nine councillors were present, seven in person and two by videolink, as well as the General Manager and senior staff. Council noted that a performance review panel met on March 31 to undertake a six-monthly review of the General Manager’s performance. The panel concluded that the General Manager was operating at a high level with no areas of concern. Committee reports for Trangie Showground and Racecourse Advisory Committee and Tomingley Advancement Association Committee were presented. Truck parking along the Newell Highway at Tomingley was mentioned as an item of concern for further follow up. Councillors Jones and Lambert will represent the council on the reinstated Aerodrome Committee. The General Manager is required to table all pecuniary interest and other matter returns for Councillors and current designated staff within three months of election or appointment and prior to 30 September each year. These have been completed as required, it was reported. Councillors are also required to disclose interests in each council meeting. On this occasion, Cr Dawn Collins declared a pecuniary interest in

item three, reports to council, community and economic development, as an owner of property included in that item. Superannuation for councillors was discussed, with the outcome being to support payment of superannuation commencing July 1, 2022. Superannuation contributions are currently set at 10.5 per cent. Collectively, payment of superannuation to councillors is expected to cost the council $14 423 per year. The draft Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2032 as presented to Council will be placed on public exhibition for a period of at least 28 days following endorsement by the Council. The highest-level plan that Council prepares, the CSP identifies the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and strategies for achieving these goals
over a minimum timeframe of ten years. A total of 69 development applications with a total value of $18,746,571 have been approved for the fi nancial year, it was reported. In March, eight development applications were approved. Six of those were in Narromine and two in Trangie and 11 applications are currently under assessment. Council unanimously endorsed a planning proposal, to be submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment to amend the Narromine Local Environmental Plan (LEP) to permit the development of temporary workers’ accommodation, for submission to the Department of Planning and Environment (DPIE). Similarly, council also unanimously endorsed a planning proposal acting on the recommendations of the Narromine
Shire Residential and Large Lot Residential (Land Use) Strategy 2018 to provide additional R1 General Residential and R5 Large Lot Residential land. Council had contacted all affected landowners to gauge their support for changes to the planning controls on their land and received 11 submissions. Council supported the proposed disposal of land in Derribong Street, Trangie for the purposes of residential development. Narromine Shire Council owns land which is zoned general residential and held for future residential development. Expressions of interest are to be presented to Council for consideration. The Dappo Road Residential Development is to be known as Wentworth Parklands. Its naming is linked to the fact Narromine is part of the parish of Wentworth.
Council noted a priority list for the Trangie Sporting Precinct which will assist Council to provide a scope of works for potential grant funding opportunities and clear direction for the community and associated sporting and user groups at the facility. Council supported in principle the installation of a Return and Earn vending machine to be established in Narromine adjacent to the Narromine Waste Depot. Cr Jones expressed concern about potential vandalism at the proposed site and asked about other potential sites. Security, cleaning and management measures have not been fi nalised yet and other locations have been considered and found not suitable. Council considered an update on the Fowler steam engine project by the New England Heritage Traction Club. This project has been ongoing for seven years and has been held up by the pandemic and an inability to source parts for the antique machine. Council endorsed a draft liquid trade waste policy to be placed on public exhibition for 28 days. As part of this it is proposed to increase the water consumption charges to enable cost recovery for the supply of treated untreated fi ltered water within Narromine shire. Current charges do not recover adequate funds to meet the ongoing requirement in maintaining the treatment and supply of treated water in a sustainable manner. Cr Jablonski had questions on notice about the replacement of trees in the shire and associated costs, and if carbon credits for planting trees were available for Council. Council noted the response to the questions. The meeting concluded at 6.11pm. All of the draft planning proposals and policies discussed and the associated resolutions are included in the meeting attachments on Council’s website.

Community News Families loved cinema under the stars
By SHARON BONTHUYS
BLANKETS, bean bags, teddies and little ones in pyjamas spread out across Payten Oval at Narromine on April 12 as families enjoyed the “cinema under the stars”. The wide, flat venue was the perfect location to screen an outdoor fi lm for families in the fi rst week of school holidays. With the rain clouds from last week well and truly gone, and not yet too cold, it was a lovely night beneath the stars. Many families arrived early to pick a good spot in front of the huge inflatable screen to see the animated children’s fi lm “Sing 2”. The Narromine Star estimates that ap-
proximately 150 people attended. With the event organised by the Uniting community services group, the team from Communities for Children sponsored a free sausage sizzle on the night. Volunteers from Narromine Rotary Club chipped in with the cooking duties. Staged annually by the Uniting group in partnership with local service providers, the movie night was held as a celebration of youth week and to give back to the community, a spokesperson said. “It is really important to Uniting that this event is free so it doesn’t place any additional costs to local families,” the spokesperson said.

Trangie Auto Club turns 30 By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE Automotive Car Club will celebrate its 30th anniversary next month with a Cars and Coffee event. Club President Ray Watson said the anniversary will be a lowkey celebration on one of their regular meeting days. “The club meets every two months on the third Sunday of the month and we usually do a drive, have our lunch and a meeting. It’s very much a social gathering,” he said. “The May meeting date is close to our actual anniversary so we’ll celebrate then.” The Cars and Coffee event will take place in Dandaloo street, followed by lunch at the USMC. The club most recently took part in the Trangie Truck and
Tractor Show on April 9, with 19 vehicles registered in the Car and Bike show. The bad weather in the lead up to the event impacted the number of entries. Final placings at that event were as follows: car of the show – Bernie Learson 1931 Model A Ford. Top open – Andrew Hoey, 1984 Mercedes 380se. Top Ford – Gary Hanson, Ford flat bed AA 1928. Top Holden – Ken Dunne, HT Monaro 1970. Top original – Tony Terry, EH Holden 1964. Top resto – Taran Smith, Chev Comaro 1967. Top historic – Alan Reid, Chev 1300 Commercial 1946. Best original bike – Gordon Irving, Yamaha XT600 1983. Best custom bike – John Brouff, Indian Chieftain 2017. For further details about the anniversary celebrations, contact the club.

CWA members Kath Bennett, Lyn Carpenter, andPat Riley with Sandra Pursglove at the TTT. Contributed by PAT RILEY THE stamina of motor enthusiasts was very much on display at the recent Trangie Truck and Tractor (TTT) Show. Over a thousand visitors braved the inhospitable conditions to view the trucks and vintage cars and engines wisely displayed along the length of Dandaloo Street in order to avoid the mud and slush of the showground venue. For the caterers, it was a dilemma of nightmarish proportions. The Country Women’s Associa-
tion (CWA), supplying morning tea and lunch packs with tea and coffee, were able to work from both venues with a varied range of pre-packed sandwiches, cakes, biscuits and scones, all prepared by members and friends. An event of these proportions calls for a big workforce.

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE student Maya Cooper was very egg-cited about winning an Easter competition last week. The ten-year-old won the LJ Hooker Easter colouring competition which was drawn just before the holidays.
Maya won a basket of chocolate goodies including a large bunny, her grandmother Christine Cooper told the Narromine Star. Maya took her prize with her on a family camping trip, Mrs Cooper said. Congratulations, Maya. We hope you enjoyed your yummy prize.

AGM for local branch of NSW Farmers By SHARON BONTHUYS
NSW Farmers Association branch members from Narromine and Trangie districts attended the AGM at Trangie on April 13. Peter Wilson was returned as President, and Belinda Haigh as Secretary/Treasurer. Jodi Browning accepted the role as Assistant Treasurer and Sally Quigley is the new Assistant Secretary. Special presentations were made to James Hamilton and Jodi Browning who retired last year after many years’ service in the roles of President and Sec/ Treasurer respectively. Discussion points from the general meeting that followed included concerns about the Narromine Shire Council’s response to branch requests. In particular, a request to lobby the CSIRO about galvanised burr treatment, and concerns about flooding impacts posed by the Inland Rail project.
Members also expressed concern about ineffective sentencing of theft and trespass crimes by magistrates and requested the branch lobby the state on this matter. Examples were cited of criminals being released by magistrates at court appearances, only to return to properties to continue committing criminal offences. Concerns were also expressed about the NSW Farmers parent body’s response to the floodplain harvesting issue. Members expressed support for moving to a biannual conference format with more focused discussion on relevant topics, specifically based on agricultural commodities and industries, with alternate years in an online format suggested for consideration.

Sports centre break-in being investigated By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre was once again targeted over the Easter long weekend. A gym patron discovered an attempted break in on Easter Sunday and reported it to the police, sharing the news on social media. Narromine Shire Council confi rmed that a back window was smashed on the oval side of the complex, but no access was gained as a result of the vandalism. The area was cleaned, the
window boarded up and the facility secured. In early January, the front door to the complex was smashed during a break and enter. Three months on, that door still remains boarded up. A council spokesperson has told the Narromine Star that a glazier has not been able to undertake the repair despite it being ordered some time ago. “We are endeavouring to have this repaired as soon as possible, dependent on contractor availability,” the spokesperson said.
The front door still remains without glass panels following a break in back in January.

Classroom News Easter egg hunts in Narromine and Trangie By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire Council held an “augmented reality” Easter egg hunt on Wednesday, April 13 at parks in Trangie and Narromine. Children had to register to attend the events which were enjoyed by all who participated. Augmented reality puts computer-generated images into the physical world viewed through devices
such as mobile phones and tablets. The event involved children, their parents and caregivers hunting for QR scanning codes which were hidden in the parks. These revealed animated images on the adults’ devices and the children could mark off those items as found. The Easter Bunny made an appearance and gave out prize bags to those who successfully completed the hunt.
Just one of the QR codes being sought by the hunters.
The Easter Bunny handed out prize bags.
Council decorated the park for the event.

The Castlereagh league is underway! PHOTO: BRYSON LUFF Contributed by BRYSON LUFF LOCAL derbies in the south and north of the vast Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition will highlight the opening round of the 2022 season. The Narromine Jets can expect a warm reception to Trangie’s Alan Burns’ Oval in what will be their fi rst competition game in the Castlereagh competition after parting company with Group 11 at the end of the 2021 season. The Jets have already established that they mean business in their new surrounds and they claimed the silverware in the annual Castlereagh League knockout that was played in Gilgandra two Saturdays ago, grinding out a hard fought 8 points to 6 win over the Cobar Roosters in the fi nal that was played in very heavy and wet
conditions. Whilst too much cannot be read into knockout form, any winning form is good form and the Jets will be buoyed by their initial outing in the Castlereagh competition. They will however be facing a stern test in the form of the Trangie Magpies who also showed glimpses of competitive form in their two outings at the knockout. The Maggies will be looking for great support from what should be a substantial home crowd and the contest shapes as being a solid workout for both teams. Meanwhile in Baradine the northern Magpies will be hoping to open their 100th year celebrations with a victory over arch rivals, the visiting Coonamble Bears. Both sides put in encourag-
ing displays in their knockout games and an open and exciting game is anticipated to be played out in front of an expected big crowd. The benchmark team from the truncated 2021 season, the Cobar Roosters, will be at home to the Gilgandra Panthers in what should be a western blockbuster with both teams willing to throw the ball around with strike players all over the park. The football at Cobar’s Tom Knight Memorial Oval will be one of the highlights of what will be a big fundraising day and night being hosted by the Roosters at that venue for the Royal Fly Doctor Service and again a very big crowd is expected to take it all in. In the other fi rst round games Coonabarabran will be at home to Dunedoo and Binnaway will host Gulgong.
Soccer fun at Payten Oval SCHOOL holiday fun in Narromine included a free soccer clinic at Payten Oval on April 13. The team from John Moriarty Football (JMF) provided the event as part of its outreach. A fun afternoon was had by those who attended. See our snaps for all the action.

RACING REPORT
By COLIN HODGES
A RECORD-breaking crowd at Bourke on Easter Sunday saw Knee Slapper in an exciting fi nish win the 1600 metres Splashe Cola-Harry Hart Memorial Picnic Cup for Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb. Proving a bad result for bookmakers, the former South Australian galloper, Knee Slapper, was backed from $16 to $8 and took an estimated $35,000 from the betting ring. Emily Waters from Tumbarumba won her fi rst race three weeks ago at Tullibigeal Picnics and she rode Knee Slapper very well at Bourke. Leading all the way, Knee Slapper held on to beat Allez Rev (Ricky Blewitt, $8) by a head with the $1.90 favourite Gossip (Leandro Ribeiro) a length away third. Gossip had won the recent Picnic Cups at Ardlethan and Tomingley, however Leandro Ribeiro probed for a run at the top of the straight which did not materialise. A protest for third versus fi rst was dismissed. Brazilian-born Leandro Ribeiro had earlier won the fi rst three races, including the 800 metres Bourke Bowling Club Open Handicap on the Connie Greig, Dubbo-trained nine-year-old gelding Billy Bent Ear. Making it eight wins and 30 placings from 110 starts, Billy Bent Ear ($2.20, favourite) raced near the lead and won by over three lengths from Rebecca’s Quest (Ricky Blewitt, $2.50) and Three Rar (Dylan Stanley, $5). First leg of the Leandro Ribeiro treble was the Brett Cavanough, Sconetrained Jackal ($2.50) which led throughout
Easter racing wows the crowds at Bourke and Lightning Ridge
for a convincing win over Rewardus (Breanna Bourke, $10) and Dare To Fight (Wayne Wheatley, $2.20 favourite) in the 800 metres Bourke Steel and Wire-Franks BP Service Station Maiden Plate. Leandro Ribeiro then rode last start Hillston winner Orezira for Menindee trainer Wayne Marsden in the 1000 metres Outback Ice and Outback Refrigeration Class B Handicap. The strongly supported Lenroy (Wayne Wheatley, $6.50 to $3.50) looked a big threat in the straight but was beaten threequarters of a length by Orezira ($2.40 favourite) with Keep No Secrets (Ricky Blewitt, $4.80) fi lling third place. Bill Hayes from Eugowra who has made a return as a trainer after time off has won successive races at Grenfell and Bourke with Run Callan Run. In the 1300 metres Nutrien Walsh Hughes-Dad N Dave Turf Class B Handicap at Bourke, Hoffy’s Dream (Emily Waters, $2.60) took the lead in the straight but was overhauled and beaten a half-length by Run Callan Run (Dylan Stanley, $4.20). Sun Master ($6) finished third however, was unlucky as Breanna Bourke reported she was disadvantaged when the saddle shifted soon after the start.

were flag starts after a barrier malfunction in the opening event won by Gunnerside. The last time flag starts were used in the region was well over 30-years-ago at Trundle in the central west when the barriers became bogged. All that aside, it was a big crowd to see the well performed TAB performer Fearless Mila win the 1200 metres P
Ladies golf notes By DALE HARDING ON Wednesday, April 13, we played a stroke round for a trophy donated by Sue Wallace. Only a small field of four contested the 18-hole trophy, which was won by Vicki Gainsford with 78 nett. Five played for the nine-hole ball with Bev winning with 37 nett. Nearest the pins were won by Viv Halbisch and Michelle Ashdown, drawn card was Anne Harmer. No one played golf on Easter Saturday. We are playing the fi rst round of the monthly medal
on Saturday, April 23. On Wednesday, April 27, we are hosting lunch after nine-holes of golf playing the fi rst Betty Green Memorial Day. This day is sponsored by Betty’s family. For our non-golfing ladies, please come about 11.30am. ••• • The lady golfers are happy to announce that we are available for catering for funeral wakes at the golf club, we serve sandwiches, hot food, slices all freshly made, for more information ring Kane at the golf club.
W Concrete Lightning Ridge Cup for Dubbo trainer Clint Lundholm. Fearless Mila (Andrew Banks, $5) raced in a forward position and won by over a length from the Bryan Dixon, Gilgandra-trained pair Ecker Road (Zara Lewis, $4) and Fox Spirit (Angela Cooper, $6). At the recent Mudgee TAB meeting, Fearless Mila fi nished second to the Brett Robb
trained All Words which won again on Sunday at Dubbo. First leg of the Andrew Banks treble was the Peter Mills, Quirindi-trained Hillbilly ($4) which accounted for Turmoil (Jodi Worley, $5.50) and Saimaa (James Rogers, $10) in the 900 metres Class One Handicap. Andrew Banks then won the 1200 metres Maiden Plate on the Andrew Bayley, Coonam-
ble-trained and Canham family owned Miss Ash Star ($6) which settled behind the leaders then fi nished best to beat Direct Vision (Clayton Gallagher, $4.60) and More Than Venice (Jake Barrett, $2.20 favourite). Kieren Hazleton is building a handy team at Gilgandra and Japingka (Clayton Gallagher, $4) led throughout to win the 1000 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap from Another Sheila (Jodi Worley, $6) and Indian Thunder (Angela Cooper,$6). Wellington trainer Karen McCarroll took a team to the Northern Territory last winter and Gunnerside was placed at Adelaide River and Darwin. Contesting the 900 metres Maiden Plate at Lightning Ridge, Gunnerside (Elissa Meredith, $3.20 favourite) raced outside the leader then took control to win by over two lengths from Outback Pat (Zara Lewis, $7) and Dream Lad (Jacob Golden, $6). Dubbo based apprentice Elissa Meredith completed a double when the Kelly Smith, Collarenebri-trained Ringside ($6) shared the lead before scoring a close win over Legal Zou (Clayton Gallagher, $3 favourite) with Big Arjay (Zara Lewis, $6) fi nishing third in the 1200 metres Lost Sea Opals Benchmark 45 Handicap.
Small field for Easter golf By KALE BOCK THE Easter week-end only attracted small fields for the week-end golf competitions. No doubt the time must have been spent chasing the Easter Bunny. On Saturday, 14 players competed in the two-person Irish Stableford event. The winners were Rob Gainsford and Chris Peter with a great score of 66 points. Runners-up were F. Crawford and J. Tadman on 54 points. NTP on the 10th was Rob Gainsford, while there were no winners for the NTP on the 9th or the Jackpot hole which was
on the 9th. On Sunday a small field of only 8 players faced the starter for the 4BBB event. Winners were Ron Green and A. McCulloch with 40 points. There were no winners in the NTP comps but Craig Duff won the jackpot prize of $30.00 on the 9th. Good to see Richard Duff on the course looking after his grandson while Craig was burning up the course. A game was played on Easter Monday but results were too late for publication in this week’s paper. Another long weekend next week for Anzac day and the
comps will be on Saturday, a two-person ambrose and Sunday, a par-plus competition There was no Junior Clinic on Sunday due to the holiday weekend, however, the clinic will return at 8.00 am on Sunday, May 1. Club secretary, Steve Buckley, has received a request from the Narromine USMC for six golf carts on Anzac Day to taxi veterans in the ANZAC March and to the Service. If any member would like to help out, contact Steve. Carts will need to be at the RSL Club by 10.30 am on ANZAC Day. That’s it for another week. See you at the 19th.

Reflections of local icon Bob Weir By SHARON BONTHUYS
Bob Weir pictured during the Group 11 grand final presentation in 2016. PHOTO: MEL POCKNALL.
NARROMINE community and sporting icon Robert (Bob) Weir left many memories behind when he passed away last month aged 85. The Narromine Star spoke to some of the people who knew him best on and off the rugby league field. Bob Walsh has known Mr Weir since 1975 and described him as a brilliant football player and a stellar individual. “He was a hard footballer but a very fair player,” Mr Walsh said. Mr Weir’s spirit of fairness was so remarkable that since 2003 an award has been made each year to the best player in the Group 11 grand fi nal in his honour. “It is a great tribute that a player in the final of the Group 11 competition is awarded the Bob Weir medal,” Mr Walsh said. “Bob played for NSW and would have played for Australia but for a tackle that broke his shoulder,” he said.
Mr Weir later gave the game away after breaking a leg midgame, Mr Walsh said, notably getting up and playing the ball before leaving the field for medical attention. “Bob also had a very talented family which he supported in their sporting endeavours. His son Robert played football and his daughters all played basketball.” Mr Walsh served with Mr Weir on the committee of the Narromine Jets where they were Secretary and President respectively. Tommy Powell remembers Mr Weir as a hardworking family man with a fierce work ethic and good old fashioned values and morals. “He led by example on the field and off it. He went to work to put food on the table for his family. He also had the time and made the time for other people in the community including my family,” Mr Powell said. Mr Powell was a junior rugby league player in 1981 in the under 18s when Mr Weir called him up to play fi rst
grade in Narromine. “He was ahead of his time in coaching with tactics in defensive lines and in attack. He kept it simple and down to earth. “Bob never ridiculed players or spoke badly to them to point out problems or how to improve. He would ask if players could do this or that. People responded to that way of coaching and respected him,” Mr Powell said. Mr Powell was present the day Mr Weir broke his leg and played the ball, describing it as one of the most incredible things he had ever seen. Mr Powell attended the funeral service and said he loved hearing Mr Weir’s grandchildren speaking at the ceremony. “It was a fitting send off, having his family say how much he meant to them. He was a leader in this town and he built so many things.” Mr Powell said the Weir family are special souls and Bob Weir was their strength. Vale, Robert Bruce Weir.
NARROMINE BOWLS CLUB NEWS
West, Edwards and Carnevale collect the major spoils Contributed by RICK BOHM THE weather was kind to us this week, and “thus” we managed to get a couple of games of social bowls played. There was a good influx of visitors on Thursday that swelled the ranks to some 22 soldiers. Great to see Eddie and Michelle McPhee back in town and as usual lucky Michelle managed to win a raffle prize later in the night. Also the boys from Springwood were in numbers, great to catch up with former lo-
cal Bernie Keating, and the others. Back to the bowls, and after the dust had settled Bill West, Mick Edwards and Danny Carnevale collected the major spoils, whilst Ernie, Bob and Cranky got something for their efforts in having the second best card on the day. On Sunday just six players lined up, understandable really, when you consider we had a number of players either away or playing in tournaments throughout the zone. Anyhow, the six who went
around didn’t go unrewarded with the winning rink of Bill West (That Man Again), Richard Hyde and Bill Wilkie getting a bottle of refreshment for their troubles. Not sure if the fi nal of the “A” grade pairs will be played on Saturday afternoon, but if it does go ahead the game will feature Robbie and partner Bopper up against Ray and “Buttsy”, and may the luck be shared. This Saturday, April 23, the Club is hosting a bowls afternoon in honour of Narromine
legend Bob Ashdown. The nomination sheet for this day has been posted on the notice board and to date the noms are just ok, so let’s make sure it is a full house, something “Ashy” deserves. Nominations for the “A” grade triples are still coming in albeit very steady, so if you’ve a mind to have a go at this championship, grab a couple of mates and get your name down. Our next little trip to Trangie has been scheduled for Sunday, April 24. For

those interested, a sheet has been “Plonked” on the Notice Board. Sungai Day for the ladies has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 10, and the flyer for this event has been sent far and wide. Hopefully we can fi ll the green up for what has always been a terrific day for our ladies in the past. That’s it for me for another week, due to the deadline my column was sent in before the Dragons Played, here hoping for something different.
