Large crowds gather at Narromine on ANZAC Day By SHARON BONTHUYS LARGE crowds gathered for the ANZAC Day commemorations in Narromine on April 25, delighting the Narromine sub-branch of the Returned and Services League (RSL). Each event planned by the RSL was well attended across the day, from the dawn service to the traditional breakfast, the Commonwealth War Graves Service, and the 11am service at the cenotaph. Even a last minute commemoration held at a third, lesser known memorial site attracted attendees. The traditional dawn service commenced at 5.45am with RSL president David Taylor laying a wreath at the cenotaph. In the quiet stillness of the early morning, the mood among the crowd was solemn but respectful as the speakers delivered their speeches and prayers. It was a particularly poignant moment when bugler Steven Cummins delivered The Last Post and Reveille. Outgoing RSL secretary Ted Davies reminded those gath-

ered that ANZAC Day is not about celebrating, but rather remembering and commemorating the lives lost to war and those who served and lived through conﬂ icts. Children came forward to lay wreaths before the crowd dispersed. Mr Taylor told the Narromine Star that ANZAC Day commemorations were growing more important in different ways. He was very pleased with the turnout this year given the event has been impacted by COVID restrictions during the pandemic. Maisy, 8, and Ruari Weir, 6, were just two of many young people to attend the dawn service with their family. Mum Sarah Weir told the Narromine Star the youngsters were attending to commemorate their grandfather’s wartime service. Lance corporal Jarred Holden, an aircraft technician from Sydney, attended the event with partner Erin Shailes as part of the Australian Defence Force’s ‘hometown soldier initiative’.

“It’s so good to see a lot of people here today,” he said. He thought the current Russia/ Ukraine confl ict was a real eye-opener for many people and may have spurred some to attend. Visiting his son Chris who is a teacher in Narromine, Garry Hooper reflected on his 26-years as a chaplain with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Mr Hooper served in Timor in 1999, undertook multiple tours to Iraq between 2004 and 2018, as well as Afghanistan. “As the speaker said, ANZAC Day is not a celebration. It’s a commemoration. Seeing what’s happening in Ukraine at the moment, the indiscriminate evil, it’s very sobering for everyone,” he said. After the dawn service, a large crowd flocked to the United Services Memorial Club (USMC) for the traditional ANZAC Day breakfast. The hearty breakfast was served by smiling volunteers including councillor Les Lambert. At 9.30am, a large crowd also attended the service held

Children lay the wreaths at the service. at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery on Tomingley Road. A ﬂy-pass by local pilots announced the start of the event. Ted Davies led the wreath laying party from local schools into the cemetery where the young bearers placed their wreaths in front of the headstones of the fallen. David Taylor placed a wreath on the cross behind the war graves on behalf of the RSL. Following the war graves service, Mr Taylor and Mr Davies adjourned to a third memorial site outside the council chambers on Dandaloo Street. Charlie Burrowes, who served in the Vietnam conﬂ ict between 1966 to 1969, laid a wreath at this site. (Read more in a separate article).

At 11am a very large crowd watched the traditional march from the USMC to the cenotaph, and stayed for the service that followed. Mr Davies delivered an impassioned speech about the spirit of ANZACs and fi nding that spirit within you. A copy of his speech has been reprinted with permission. Many people, organisations and schools took the opportunity to lay wreaths at the service. Like the early morning service, the 11am commemoration was pervaded by a sad but calm mood as those gathered reflected on past losses and current confl icts. Lest We Forget.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS AND CONTRIBUTORS

Trangie community observes ANZAC Day By SHARON BONTHUYS SMALLER than expected crowds attended ANZAC Day commemorations in Trangie this year. The dawn service, march and 11 am service were well down on numbers, it was reported. The town looked beautiful with its corrugated cutouts of soldiers and other wartime images, and the lawn outside the library displaying ﬂowers in the form of the word “ANZAC”. The mid-morning march along Dandaloo Street to the Soldiers Memorial Hall featured veterans ferried in carts, including 99-yearold Les McKinnon. School students also marched, as well as the Trangie Pony Club members and their horses. The Soldiers Memorial Hall was beautifully decorated with historic military memorabilia by the Trangie History Group. One of the items on display was a “treasured piece of Trangie history” — a table cloth embroidered with names of Trangie servicemen, Red Cross and family members which had been raffled in 1915. The cloth found its way back to Trangie after the Hitchen House military museum in Gilgandra closed. Returned and Services League (RSL) sub-branch president Col McAnally led the service inside

St John’s Parish students Lilly Simmons and Micah Phillips with principal Sharon Ferrari. the Memorial Hall. Ray Haigh delivered a moving commemoration speech which the Narromine Star will reprint in this issue. St John’s Parish students Lilly Simmons and Micah Phillips also addressed the gathering with principal Sharon Ferrari. A group of veterans from HMAS Nirimba, a former Royal Australian Navy training base at Nirimba Fields, Sydney, also attended services at Trangie. The

group has been coming to Trangie since 1992, said Gordon Christie, who hails from Lake Cathie. Together with Eric Fitzpatrick from Kurrajong and Les McAnally from Fingal Bay (and formerly of Trangie), Mr Christie told the Narromine Star that the veterans enjoyed visiting the town. The pandemic had impacted attendance at events in recent years, but they were enjoying being back in Trangie now re-

strictions had lifted, he said. With expanding families including lots of grandchildren who want to march with them, and having two members pass away, the veterans are unsure how long they will continue to attend Trangie ANZAC Day events. After the service, many adjourned to the Trangie United Services Memorial Club for refreshments. Lest We Forget.

Moving moments observed at third war memorial By SHARON BONTHUYS DID you know that there is a third place of commemoration in Narromine for lives lost in war? A small sandstone block sits on the grassed area just outside the council ofﬁce on Dandaloo Street acknowledging an avenue of trees that once stood in honour of lives lost in World War I. The avenue of kurrajong trees was planted by the council of the time in 1917 and stretched for some distance on both sides of the railway line. Subsequent development of Dandaloo Street resulted in the trees on the northern side of the railway line being removed in 1934-35. In 2018, Narromine Shire Council replaced the kurrajongs on the southern side of the railway line with manchurian pear trees, which were more suitable as street trees. The sandstone block and plaque were installed in 2021 and stand as a permanent reminder of what once was a living memorial. The Narromine Returned and Services

Charges laid over alleged armed robbery THREE men will face court following an investigation into an alleged armed robbery and pursuit with police in a vehicle near Narromine. About 5.30am on Saturday, April 23, a man armed with a knife entered a supermarket on Dandaloo Street, Narromine, and allegedly threatened an employee, demanding cash and a mobile phone. The armed man left the store a short time later, stealing a mobile phone. Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were notiﬁed and commenced an investigation. In a separate incident, a Kio Rio was parked in a car park on Third Avenue when a man entered the

vehicle about 6.35am the same day and drove off. About 8.15am on Sunday, April 24, a Kia pulled up at a petrol station on the Mitchell Highway, Narromine, where the three occupants placed fuel in the vehicle and drove off without paying. Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District responded and while patrolling Narromine just after 9am, sighted the Kia drive into Coochin Lane. Police attempted to stop the Kia, however, it failed to do so, and a pursuit was initiated before being terminated shortly after due to safety concerns. The Kia was later found abandoned in a lane way between Minore and Cathundral Street in

Narromine. The vehicle was seized for forensic examination. Following inquiries, officers attended a home on Cathundral Street, arresting three men, who were all taken to Dubbo Police Station. A 33-year-old man was charged with robbery armed with offensive weapon, armed with intent commit indictable offence, stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm, larceny value, take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, dishonestly obtain fi nancial advantage by deception, police pursuit - not stop - drive dangerously and drive motor vehicle during disqualification period.

Fun new dance program in Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire Council has provided funding for a fun new dance program to assist local residents stay active. Using music and props like scarves and drumsticks, the music and movement program will continue until June at the Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre. One class is aimed at elderly residents and another is an all-abilities class. The sessions are inclusive and can accommodate wheelchairs, intellectually and or mobility-impaired participants. Provided by Tracy Hanna from Dubbo-based AllAbilities-

Danz, the program focuses on gross motor movements, coordination, strength and ﬂexibility. “We can work with seniors sitting or standing, and support any special needs. The program is props-based to make the sessions interactive and fun,” Ms Hanna said. The Narromine Star was present for the ﬁ rst classes to be held on April 27. There were smiles all round as the group danced to classic hits using scarves, then moved on to wooden drumsticks which were extremely popular props. For further information about this free program or to join in the fun, contact Narromine Shire Council.

Slow down around schools TRANSPORT for NSW is reminding all road users to slow down and watch out for children as students return to school this week and school zones resume operating. Tara McCarthy, deputy secretary of safety, environment and regulation at Transport for NSW, said there will be tens of thousands of students returning to the classroom this week. “Children are some of our most vulnerable pedestrians and their safety is our number one priority,” Ms McCarthy said. “Most school zones operate from 8-9.30am and from 2.30-4pm. However, there are a small number

of non-standard school zones in NSW with different times and speed limit. These are identiﬁed by red/orange school zone signs and 30 km/h speed limits. “Please slow down to the sign-posted speed limit in our school zones.” Motorists are urged to be extra careful while driving near schools, particularly near bus stops, school crossings and ‘kiss and ride zones’. “When bus lights ﬂash, it is vital everyone slows down to 40km/h because this means a the bus is picking up or dropping off children,” Ms McCarthy said.

“Higher ﬁ nes and demerit points apply for certain offenses committed in an active school zone, such as speeding, parking, or stopping illegally, using a mobile phone illegally and illegal u-turns. “Please don’t put our kids’ lives at risk. ‘Just a bit over’ can be the difference between being able to stop in time or not at all.” The NSW government has implemented several safety initiatives to improve the visibility of school zones including signage, road markings, ﬂashing lights and more than 300 new school crossing supervisors.

THE NSW Government introduces Terry Godmother in its latest drink driving TV advertisement – reminding motorists and riders about the importance of having a plan B to get home safely after drinking. Tara McCarthy, Deputy Secretary of Safety, Environment and Regulation at Transport for NSW said the message in the new TV campaign, which launched on April 17, is simple: don’t drink and drive. “The TV ad delivers an important drink driving message in a humorous way and aims to appeal to men aged between 17 and 49 and younger female drivers,” Ms McCarthy said. The ad introduces the unexpected and surprising character, Terry Godmother, who highlights the impacts a ‘few drinks’ has on would-be drink drivers. Terry takes a friendly approach to encourage would-be drivers to make the right choices and opt for easy plan

B options, such as public transport. “Terry Godmother is the kind of mate we all need and the kind of friend we should all be, especially when we are drinking,” Ms McCarthy said. In 2021, alcohol-related crashes claimed the lives of 47 people on NSW roads, including 38 lives on country roads. “Since random breath testing was introduced in December 1982, we have seen a huge drop in drink driving-related road trauma,” Ms McCarthy said. “But we know more can be done – drink driving still contributes to about 15 to 20 per cent of deaths on NSW roads each year. “This is why we remain committed to achieving zero road deaths in NSW, and this Terry Godmother television ad is a part of this effort. “Don’t put yourself and others on the road at risk by getting behind the wheel after drinking. Think ahead, have a Plan B.”

Changed conditions on Mitchell Highway

Wind farm proposed for Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS A PROJECT team from Acciona Energia will be visiting Narromine next week to provide information about the proposed Wallaby Creek Wind Farm. Residents can speak with team members about the proposed renewable energy project at the drop-in session. “We’ve been evaluating a site near Narromine and are in the early stages of understanding the feasibility of a potential project,” said

Acciona Energia spokesperson Emma Reiners. “Part of our due diligence is to engage with the community early to seek feedback and properly understand their views on the project.” “The drop-in session is part of a long and comprehensive process to gather information to help make a decision. It’s also a great way for us to meet the community and hear from locals who know about the area,” said Ms Reiners.

Approximately 10kms south of Narromine, the proposed project is situated within the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), an area identiﬁed by the NSW government as a priority region for the development of renewable energy projects. Named for Wallaby Creek which crosses the northern portion of the site, the wind farm will have an estimated generating capacity of up to 250 MW. Currently in the feasibility stage, the proposed pro-

ject will consist of up to 44 wind turbine generators and associated infrastructure and sits across approximately 8000 hectares of pastoral and cropping land. The wind farm is proposed to connect to Essential Energy’s 132kV Narromine South Switching Station, located approximately 10km north of the project. Residents and interested parties are invited to attend the drop-in session for further information about the project.

MOTORISTS are advised of changed traffic conditions on the Mitchell Highway at Narromine for essential maintenance work on May 1. The work will include spraying bitumen in two locations on the Mitchell Highway to improve the surface of the road. The locations include from east of Manildra Street to Dandaloo Street, and Culling Street to west of Warren Road. Work will be carried out between 7am and 6pm on Sunday, May 1, and is expected to take one day to complete, weather permitting. Traffic control, a reduced speed limit and intermittent stopping will be in place during work hours. Road users should drive to the conditions, follow the directions of signs and traffic control, and allow an additional ﬁve minutes’ travel time. Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time.

Appeal for dash cam footage – stolen vehicle

POLICE are calling for any dash cam footage from people who may have been travelling on the Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Narromine on Thursday, April 21, between 3am and 7am. The incident relates to an allegedly stolen motor vehicle which was dumped between Dubbo and Narromine. Police are speciﬁcally looking for any footage of two persons walking along the highway in the direction of Dubbo. It may assist police in an ongoing inquiry. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Serious injury in single vehicle crash A MAN was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash near Narromine on Monday, April 25. Emergency services were called about 6.10pm to the intersection of Burroway Road and Eumungerie Road, Burroway, east of Narromine, following reports of a single-vehicle crash. Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District attended, however, no one was located in the area. Following inquiries, officers sighted a green Holden Commodore a short time later, which had hit a tree near the intersection of Burroway Road and Rawsonville Bridge Road. The driver – a 25-year-old man – was located trapped in the vehicle and freed a short time later by the Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA). He was airlifted to Westmead Hospital, Sydney, with serious injuries. Officers established a crime scene and have commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash. As inquiries continue, police are appealing to anyone that may have information or dashcam footage of the incident to come forward.

Dandaloo Road camera for monitoring safety, department tells the Star By SHARON BONTHUYS FURTHER to the story last week in the Narromine Starabout the mysterious camera that appeared on Dandaloo Road near Narromine, Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has provided the following update.

“Safety at level crossings is a high priority for Transport for NSW,” a spokesperson said. “The trailer at the level crossing on Dandaloo Road in Narromine is not an enforcement camera. “It is monitoring vehicle activity, which will be evaluated by Trans-

port for NSW as part of ongoing work to guide safety improvements at level crossings in NSW.” There is no history of incidents at the level crossing on Dandaloo road, which has stop signs on both sides. The trailer is likely to be in place for a few months, the spokesperson said.

Food scraps sorted thanks to council grant

A $30,000 grant will help local households become top food waste recyclers. Narromine Shire Council, in partnership with Dubbo Regional Council and Mid-Western Regional Council, have received the ‘Scrap Together’ grant from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). The three-council group was one of eleven councils and groups of councils to share in $240,150 under the grants

program. This project will see the Scrap Together campaign rolled out across the Narromine shire, Dubbo region and mid-western region where it will help residents understand what happens to food waste collected in their kerbside green lid bin and encourage them to use it well. The campaign was piloted in Clarence Valley, Kempsey, and Forbes local government areas

and proved popular with residents, resulting in an average of 10 per cent increase in food waste recovered for recycling. “This funding will help keep food and garden organic waste out of landﬁ ll to be processed into compost that will improve soil health,” said Narromine shire’s general manager Jane Redden. “It will help us roll out an engaging campaign that will remind our community of the

environmental beneﬁts of recycling your food waste and how to use the service to best advantage,” Mrs Redden said. Head of EPA organics unit, Amanda Kane, said this funding round enabled 25 councils to deliver the Scrap Together campaign materials, which includes videos, radio adverts, mailbox drops and print advertising. She said the NSW government had allocated an addi-

Narromine ANZAC Day address Delivered by EDWARD (TED) DAVIES EDWARD (Ted) Davies gave the address at the mid-morning ANZAC Day commemorations in Narromine on April 25. His inspiring personal reflections about war and finding the ANZAC spirit within ourselves are reprinted here with permission. IN July 1967, I turned 20 years of age and as required by the law at that time, registered for National Service. I was working as a jackaroo on Haddon Rig Stud at Warren. My birthday marble came out of the lottery barrel and I was called for a medical examination at the Nyngan Hospital by Narromine’s Dr Mac. Along with a dozen other country boys, Dr Mac found us all healthy and fit, and so in early 1968, I reported to Kapooka Army Base at Wagga for my recruit training. Infantry training followed and in late 1968, I was posted to the 9th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment who were bound for a 12-month tour of duty in Vietnam. I have to say that like many before me, I found it all a great adventure. We were young and with a whole lot of other young blokes, and the music of the 60’s was truly fabulous. We were jumping in and out of helicopters and flying in various other aircraft, we were training with and fi ring all sorts of machine guns and other weapons, we went on bivouacs up in the remote Blue Mountains of NSW. And in the McPherson Ranges along the Queensland/NSW border and in North Queensland we travelled in armoured personnel carriers and worked with huge Centurion tanks. Even going overseas to Vietnam seemed somehow exotic and exciting. However, when we got there it all changed and we came to experience the horrors of war and to see mates killed and wounded. The Jungle patrols were long and dangerous, the weather could be atrocious and everything in the jungle wanted to kill you or bite you or sting you. It was in those very worst times that I truly learned the

real Spirit of ANZAC and what it meant. The fact that every man shared the fear, the trauma and the pain of combat, and even strangely the relief or joy afterwards that we had somehow beaten the “Angel of Death” who was always hovering nearby. In the ﬁeld, we shared everything with each other and truly became brothers. We shared the load of carrying our heavy burden of not only our riﬂes and machine guns but also the extra ammunition, rations and water, medical supplies, radios and batteries, grenades, and anti-tank weapons as well as personal items. We even shared our prized letters from home. But mostly, we shared the determination to protect and defend our mate even if it meant giving your life for him. One of my very good friends was an Aboriginal man, Mick

Markham from Kakadu in the Northern Territory. We were the only two boys from the real outback Australia and naturally became mates. He was a great soldier and a good man. We would share things – if my sugar or other rations were spoiled by the monsoonal rains, he would go without to share with me. I was an infantry signaller and was often called to take lengthy messages which I had to convert to code to send over the radio. Mick would clean my riﬂe for me or prepare a meal for me. And, when the chips were down and we were under heavy ﬁre, he would give me a wink or word of encouragement. He was a brave man, a great mate and a true ANZAC. Sadly, he passed away from pancreatic cancer late last year. You, too, can espouse the ANZAC spirit in your everyday life. Our society seems to have

become a “me” world instead of a “we” one. There is even a popular song, “what about me, I want my share.” We need to think about how we can be more community minded and help each other. We could help our elderly neighbour put out her bins. Perhaps we could visit the local hospital or aged care home or pick up that fast food cup or wrapper and put it in the bin. You could carry some elderly or inﬁ rmed person’s groceries for them. What about a smile or a “G’day” to someone in the street? It could mean so much to that person and costs you absolutely nothing. Children, think about welcoming a new student to your school. If someone is sitting by themselves in the playground, how about going and sitting and talking to them or including them in your games? If a child does not have any lunch, maybe you could ask your mum to pack an extra sandwich for them or an extra piece of fruit. How about on tuckshop days, you ask your parents to order an extra bag of chips or a drink so that you can share with someone who does not have anything or never is able to order things? There was another popular song by the Beatles – about the long and winding road of life and how at times things can seem to be so hard that we all need a hand, and on occasion need to be carried – which features the words “he’s my brother, he’s not heavy.” Finally, I would like to speak about those brave men and women who served. In my own case, 35 of the 400 men I served with were killed in action in Vietnam. Thirty-ﬁve good men, boys really, who were not able to go on and marry their

sweethearts and have children or experience the wonderful joy of grandchildren. The effect on their families is still being felt today over 50 years since they were killed. Just on half of the men in my unit were physically wounded and all were psychologically wounded in some form or other from the horrors they experienced. Tragically, when we arrived home, our own society rejected us and labelled us baby killers and some even had red paint thrown over them. Many were further traumatised by this rejection and went underground and dropped out of the world. Sadly, and unfortunately, most people do not know about the very good things we did in Vietnam. Certainly, we killed those enemies who were trying to kill us or had a weapon in their hands. However, we helped many of the local villages and towns by clearing out the Viet Cong and making it safer for their people. We were able to provide medical aid to many of their people and where required, drinking water, small school buildings and other things. I am proud to wear these medals which show my service and I ask that you take a moment to reﬂect on the names of the local people carved in stone or cast in bronze that appear here on our town Cenotaph and on our Memorial Wall of Honour. Perhaps on the odd occasion as you pass by, you might pause for a moment to honour them in your heart. They died or fought so that we might have a better life and enjoy the freedom that we have today. It is with a very worried mind that I especially ask that you might offer a prayer for the people of Ukraine – ordinary people just like you and me being killed and wounded and having their homes destroyed by that monster from Russia. Sadly, the world is standing by watching it happen – and the United Nations is doing nothing, too. It brings back terrible thoughts about another similar monster, Adolph Hitler in Germany in the late 1930s, doing the same thing. How long will it take the rest of the world to take real action?

Trangie ANZAC Day address Delivered by RAY HAIGH RAY HAIGH delivered the address at the 11am service at Trangie on ANZAC Day. His moving speech is reprinted here with permission. Lest we forget. GOOD MORNING. As Colin [McAnally, Trangie RSL President] has said, my name is Ray Haigh. For Australians and New Zealanders, April 25, ANZAC day, holds a special place in our hearts and spirits. Every year we stop to thank and remember the men and women who have served our country in the ultimate way, laying down their lives while defending our freedoms. At dawn on April 25, 1915, ANZAC troops landed on the shores of Gallipoli. It was a military operation that was meant to push back the Ottoman Turkish army and ultimately led to the capture of Constantinople (now Istanbul), the capital of the Ottoman Empire. What they thought was going to be a bold and effective move, stalemated. And for eight long, horrific months, thousands of men, on both sides, endured incredible hardship (way way beyond our comprehension). The ANZAC troops were eventually evacuated. Even though the mission was not successful, what happened in Gallipoli and the courage and tenacity of the ANZAC troops, left a powerful legacy for our nation. One that has changed us and spans beyond the immediate generation of that day in 1915, to this day and beyond. Charles Bean, an Australian war historian, said: “the ANZAC spirit stood, and still stands, for reckless valour in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship, and endurance that will never own defeat.” There are stories of bravery, strength, hardship, courage, the threat of darkness, and the fortitude of hope in each and every confl ict since then, involving the men and women of our armed forces. Clive James in his 1988 speech commemorating a plaque being laid for the Australian servicemen who flew with the [British Royal Air Force]referred to those who lost their lives as “a harvest of our tallest poppies.” He went on to speak about the nature of war, the bravery of those who fight, and the ways we reconcile the political ambiguities of why a war is fought. He also made the observation that: “the world would have been a better place if the wars had never happened, but it’s profoundly true that it would have been an infi nitely worse place if they had not been fought... and won.” In the bible in the gospel of John, chapter 15, verse 13, it says “greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John Gorton, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot, in his welcome home speech to his fellow returned soldiers at Kerang RSL in 1946 evoked

the ghosts of those who had know what the war was like, maintained that he only ever not returned when he said: “I the conditions they fought un- fi red the guns to test them, not want you to forget it is I who der and endured, thinking it fi red them in anger or defence.

For a long time I wanted to gunner.” My father had always found the bomb aimer [crew

member] wasn’t there. Apparently in Lancasters, when the bomb aimer gets into the plane, he has to climb into a space where the doors open upwards and then after he has climbed in, the doors close down and he lays down on the doors. What they think happened was that when the plane went into a steep climb and stalled and the plane dived down again (front fi rst down), the sudden change in direction caused the bomb aimer to go upwards in the small area off the doors. As that happened the doors he was laying also flew up, opening upwards (like when he had climbed in). But when the bomb aimer flopped down again, the doors would have been still open. My father said the Red Cross did fi nd him in Germany. And I said to my father, “Dad weren’t you wearing parachutes?” He said to me, “there’s no room for parachutes.” This was for me a fairly sobering glimpse of one of the possible outcomes for Lancaster crews awaiting them when they went on missions. Will we ever see an end to armed confl ict? Unfortunately, it seems that there are many in the world who cannot live in peace and harmony, and have goals that are out of step with accepted norms, and have no problems with using violence to get their way. It seems to me that until greed and the unmitigated quest for power can be held in check, it would seem that negotiation may have a way to go before all confl icts can be resolved peacefully. So, what can we do to honour those sacrifices? Today on ANZAC Day we say: “Lest We Forget”. What is it we mean when we say “Lest We Forget”? I suspect to each of us it will be something a little different. Is it, Lest we forget the horrors of war? Or is it, lest we forget what terrible things we are capable of when we forget that we belong to each other? Or is it, lest we forget how painful and tragic the sacrifice really was, and still is? Or is it, lest we forget the ache of loss? Or is it, lest we forget the trauma and glamourise the violence? Or is it, lest we forget that hope lies not in winning, but in not having to [win]? Or is it ALL these things and more? We thank you, all who have served your country, for offering your lives and freedoms for the sake of others. It is, of course, not just about those who lost their lives. It is also about those who came home and through what they were subject to, what they took part in, what they saw, the extreme hardships they had to relentlessly endure, took them to a place they did not want to be, where they cannot speak about it for fear of the memories it invokes. Thank you, to all who served defending this country’s way of life, for your sacrifices, your offerings, your love. We again thank you for offering your lives and freedoms for the sake of others. Lest We Forget.

Zoo welcomes new White Rhino bull TARONGA Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo has farewelled one White Rhino bull and welcomed another in a collaborative exchange with Monarto Safari Park in South Australia. The Zoo’s resident breeding bull, Umfana, travelled to his new home in Monarto last week, making the 13-hour road trip in a purpose-built crate. Monarto Safari Park’s breeding bull Satara then made the return trip to Dubbo. Both bulls travelled very well throughout their respective journeys, thanks to months of careful planning and preparations. They will each assume breeding responsibilities at their new homes, as both are genetically important bulls critical to sustaining the insurance population for their species in Australia. “Here at Taronga Western Plains, we started crate training Umfana about nine months ago. We introduced him to his travelling crate, which he became very familiar and comfortable with over time,” said white rhino keeper Bobby-Jo Vial. “On the day of his departure he went into the crate really

smoothly and travelled very well throughout. Our Senior Veterinarian accompanied him and returned with Satara, who was unloaded safely here in Dubbo.” Likewise, Satara has settled in very quickly to life at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. “He has a lovely calm nature,” Bobby-Jo said. “Satara enjoys getting a good scratch and rub down from his keepers. We’re all really enjoying working with him and look forward to introducing him to our herd.” Satara will be introduced to four females at Taronga Western Plains Zoo – Mopani, Likwesi, Kamari and Meeka. It is hoped he will breed with Kamari and also, in time, Meeka. Satara will remain behind the scenes whilst he undertakes mandatory quarantine, before being gradually introduced to the Dubbo herd. The Southern White Rhinoceros is classiﬁed as endangered in the wild. Taronga Western Plains Zoo has a long-established breeding program for this species.

State aerobatic championships to be held in Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS THOSE magnificent men and women in their flying machines will be contesting the NSW Aerobatic Championships in Narromine next month. The three-day event will provide some exciting free entertainment in the skies above the Narromine aerodrome. “Most people may have seen airshow aerobatics which are very much a freestyle form of aerobatic flying. This is where the pilot can do whatever manoeuvres they like in

a display that pleases the crowd,” explained Ray Pearson, secretary of the NSW chapter of the Australian Aerobatics Club. “Competition aerobatics [is different and] has a complexity level for each manoeuvre [like in competitive ﬁgure skating or diving]. The degree of complexity gives a higher score. “The pilots have about fourteen different manoeuvres [to perform] which they have to put into a sequence in front of the judges,” Mr Pearson said. Competitors ﬂy within

a “box”, an area measuring 1000 metres square across the ground and vertical. They need to stay within that box while completing their sequence or their scores will be downgraded, Mr Pearson said. The challenge is that competitors cannot stop once they have started so they need to ensure each manoevure ﬂows easily into the next, leaving no gaps or breaks in the sequence. Competitors ﬂy in a range of different aircraft suited to the entry categories, including De-

cathlons, Pitt Specials (bi-planes), and Extra 300s designed especially for aerobatics. Entries are coming in for the state championships, with a surge expected in the lead up to the event, Mr Pearson said. “Last year 26 competitors took place across all the categories, which is a good number for the state competition,” he said. About 40 competitors usually contest the national championships. “The event will bring a lot of people into Narromine who will use

accommodation, buy meals, fuel etc,” Mr Pearson said, encouraging residents to come to the aerodrome and watch the action. “People are welcome to come to the aero club and have a chat to the pilots if they’re free. They can stand along the fence and watch all the aircraft come and go, and all the ﬂying is right out in front of them immediately over the aerodrome.” Spectators can view the action from 9.30am each competition day, he said. Mr Pearson expressed

thanks to the Australian Sports Commission’s Regional Sports Events Fund for providing a grant of $6500 to the Narromine Shire Council to help stage the championships. This initiative supports regional sport while also helping to boost local economies by attracting more visitors to regional areas to attend sporting events. “We’re very grateful to Narromine Shire Council as well. Without them we could not hold this event in Narromine,” he said.

Political News & Opinion AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo

ON March 8, 2022, the NSW minister for energy and I announced a taskforce to review the framework for managing issues and opportunities from the forecast growth in the renewable energy and the agricultural sectors in NSW (the review). The review will be led by the NSW agriculture commissioner, Daryl Quinlivan. The $20.9 billion NSW pri-

mary industries sector is a major contributor to the economic and social fabric of NSW. It supports the food security of Australia and our trading partners. NSW primary industries provide 86,000 direct jobs and a further 67,000 jobs in manufacturing. Cleared agricultural land is often seen as suitable for renewable energy development. These developments can present opportunities for landholders including increased self-sufficiency and additional income streams. However, with the amount of wind and solar energy generated in NSW more than doubling from 2015-2020, it is timely to consider how this growth and development will

impact the agriculture sector and regional communities in the years to come, including in the Dubbo electorate. The agriculture commissioner is now taking written submissions from landholders on the implications renewable energy poses to agricultural land. NEW targets to halve deaths and reduce serious injuries by 30 per cent on NSW roads by 2030 will underpin a NSW government commitment to spend an additional $250 million on road safety. The newly-released 2026 Road Safety Action Plan outlines a series of important new road safety initiatives to reduce the road toll. One death is a death too many, and we want to create

the safest road system we can, so that everyone using the road returns home safely to their families. The 2026 Road Safety Action Plan includes: Trialling a vehicle safety program to increase the use of safer vehicles among younger and disadvantaged drivers; Trialling technology on heavy vehicles and buses to improve detection of pedestrians and cyclists; Partnership with the Road Trauma Support Group NSW, including funding to deliver services to families affected by road trauma; Using existing mobile phone detection cameras to detect drivers not wearing a seatbelt, with legislation to make the change to go to NSW par-

liament this year; Enhancing the Local Government Road Safety Program; Delivering a new heavy vehicle safety strategy through partnership with industry; Further expanding the Driver Licencing Access Program, which supports disadvantaged people to become safely licenced; Enhancing the Motorcycle Graduated Licensing Scheme to improve the safety of motorcyclists; A new online Road Safety Education Centre to improve access to information and resources for all road users and; Revitalising the strategy for drug and alcohol testing of drivers. Until next time, Dugald

Garden Club’s special day out Contributed by ANNIE HARMER, NARROMINE GARDEN CLUB NARROMINE Garden Club’s 23 members had a wonderful day out on Friday, April 22. First we arrived at the Quentin Park Alpaca Farm, 5 kilometres back from Tomingley on the Newell Highway. At 12pm we had our meeting then we were served an array of tasty ﬁ nger food for our lunch, after which we were given a talk on the origins of the farm and where they are today. The cottage there is over 100 years old. Such an interesting history was told by owner Amee Dennis. Their journey into the collection of alpacas as guards and then to the rearing of alpacas and llamas.

Their alpaca herd has grown to accommodate the demand for ﬁbre to be used in Amee’s passion, which is paper making and craft work. Following the talk with Amee, some members were game and went to feed the alpacas. Thank you Amee and Shaun for sharing your lifestyle with us. Many of the Garden Club Members then went onto Greg MacIntyre’s property down Narwonah Lane to view the many barb wire sculptures Greg has achieved. Greg is currently working on a very large sculpture of a bull – such a talented man. The bonus was viewing the very old cars Greg has restored. A very big thank you to Greg for having us visit his craft workshop.

Garden club members feed the alpacas on their day out. Morning tea with the alpacas.

Club members enjoyed seeing Greg MacIntyre’s barb-wire sculptures.

Farewell, Vickey! By SHARON BONTHUYS LIBRARY staff gathered at Soul Food Depot on Saturday, April 23, to farewell popular library coordinator and book club leader, Vickey Foggin. Ms Foggin heads to Dubbo where she will take on a new role as a community engagement librarian for Macquarie Regional Library (MRL). The promotion recognises Ms Foggin’s hard work and achievements in community engagement in the Narromine shire through her library work. She is excited about the move and

her new role organising projects for the MRL. Library assistant Belinda Barlow said that both staff and patrons were sorry to see Ms Foggin go. “One patron said to us: ‘handcuff her to the pole and don’t let her go!’” Ms Barlow said. Ms Foggin will still have some involvement with the Narromine and Trangie libraries in her new role. A staff member will act as library coordinator while recruitment is underway. C o n g r at u l at i o n s , Vickey, and all the best in your new role.

Castlereagh League underway Contributed by BRYSON LUFF, CASTLEREAGH RUGBY LEAGUE INC THE 2022 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League kicked off last weekend, but not before a tumultuous start to the competition, highlighted by the total withdrawal of the Coonabarabran Unicorns from the current season earlier in the week. The Unicorns, along with the Binnaway Bombshells, had previously indicated that they would not be fielding a fi rst-grade side in 2022. They would continue with a league tag side throughout the year in the hope that the club could regroup and rebuild a fi rst-grade team next year. This meant that a total rejig of the previously adopted draw had to be done and this was fi nally settled upon just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the problems that beset the Unicorn’s fi rst grade side have now also affected their league tag team and the club has sadly made the move to totally withdraw for the season, leaving the Castlereagh League competition with nine clubs. The League will run with the draw that was arrived at a few weeks ago, with clubs drawn to play Coonabarabran now having a bye. Not an ideal start to

the year, but nonetheless the competition did get underway last Saturday with fi rst grade wins going to Narromine, Cobar and Coonamble. Playing in their fi rst Castlereagh League competition game the Narromine Jets got their campaign underway with a solid 38 to 14 win over local rivals, the Trangie Magpies at Trangie, scoring eight tries to three in the process to continue their good form after winning the Castlereagh League knockout at Gilgandra just a few weeks earlier. Further west a mistake riddled Gilgandra Panther outfit paid the price against the Cobar Roosters at Cobar’s Tom Knight Memorial Oval, going down 34 to 14 after being well in the match at half time with the scoreboard then reading 18 points to 10 but the home side’s power, aided by Gilgandra’s lack of ball security saw the red white and blues secure a flying start to their season. In the remaining game at Baradine it was a close affair between the Magpies and their arch rivals, the Coonamble Bears, but in the final washup the visitors claimed the important competition points with a tight 26 to 22 victory. Looking to round two all three fi rst grade games present as interesting affairs with

Narromine hosting the Gulgong Bull Terriers in what will be the Terriers fi rst competition game for the year making them a bit of an unknown quantity at this early stage of the competition. Certainly the Jets, whilst pleased with their opening win over Trangie, will need to be on their guard against what should be an enthusiastic Gulgong outfit. Similarly, the Dunedoo Swans will be on the road for their fi rst game of the season when they attempt the very often extremely difficult task of upsetting the Coonamble Bears on the Bears’ home patch. The Bears have a young side who like to give the ball plenty of lateral movement and the Swan’s defence could well face a stern test. In the other game, the Trangie Magpies and the Gilgandra Panthers will clash at Trangie, this being Trangie’s Old Boy’s Day and it would seem that the Panther’s will be playing in front of a large and vocal Magpie crowd that will be willing the home side on. Both teams will be keen to grab the competition points after they both went down in the opening round. Round 1 scores: League Tag: Gulgong 30 (T Pennel 2, E Hudson 2, K Jackson, A Hol-

Gerries Golf Notes: A win for Lewis Contributed by NORM LEWIS A SMALL ﬁeld turned up for the Wednesday Gerries golf competition last week – maybe caused by too much Easter Cheer over the holidays. There was really no excuse as the weather was ﬁ ne and the course in great order following recent rainperhaps the mosquitoes caused problems. Play was on the back nine and it was none other than yours truly, Norm Lewis, returning to the course after a long absence, who took the major prize with 22 points. I attribute this win to the generosity of the handicapper so he had better watch out for next week when the weekly adjustments are made. Runner up was Malcolm (Boof) Fraser on 22. No

doubt “Boof” will give Lewie a reminder of a major trophy win at Bourke in the early Seventies in which he defeated him on a countback. It was a long time ago but “Boof” has never forgotten. The NAGA prize was won for the second week in a row by Bob Fletcher. He should be back in the winners’ circle soon as he has been awarded a couple of shots back. There was no NTP this week so the prize will jackpot. Once again, the players missed out on their official presentation and the weekly pool competition for the day as when they arrived back, the Clubhouse was not open.They all adjourned home sad and thirsty. Next Wednesday, the Gerries will play the front nine with the hit off at 3.00 pm. See you all on the ﬁ rst tee.

Golfers assist elderly vets at ANZAC Day march

Robert Handsaker transports Brian Ireland. By NORM LEWIS Photos by LIZ RUSSELL LAST Monday the golf club members responded to a request from the local Returned and Services League (RSL)

Mal McIntyre transports Keith Richardson.

Sub-Branch and United Services Memorial Club to supply golf carts to transport the elderly returned servicemen in the traditional ANZAC Day march. Some years ago, golf club members were approached to

provide transport for the aged war veterans who were unable to participate in the annual ANZAC Day march and service. In the initial years some ten carts and drivers attended,

taking with them those who felt they could not last the distance of the march. The tradition has continued each year since. On Monday last only three war veterans participated. The three carts and passengers

were positioned at the head of the annual parade behind the Dubbo Pipe Band. Those golf club members who took part were honoured to participate and will continue to offer their services in the future.

100th parkrun in Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Wetlands Parkrun celebrated its 100th event last Saturday, just over three years since it fi rst started. The worldwide free fun and fitness activity has been held locally since March 2, 2019. COVID restrictions impacted the regular staging of the weekly parkruns during 2020 and 2021, said coordinator Kelli Piddington. “It’s only taken us three years to get here. But we’re here finally!” she said with a laugh. A total of 43 parkrunners took part in the 100th run, including four “fi rst timers,” three who recorded personal bests, and members of six different parkrun clubs. Since it began in Narromine in March 2019, a whopping 24 475 kilometres have been walked, jogged or run around the five-kilometre wetlands track by 886 parkrunners completing 4,895 parkruns. The 100th event brought keen participants from Gilgandra and Dubbo, with visitors from Maitland and Mossvale also joining the event. Dubbo parkrunner Phillip Wheeler, 35, was the fi rst male home on the 100th run, in a time of 23:52. The fi rst female home was Narromine local Maya Cooper, 10, not far behind Mr Wheeler in a time of 24:04. Mr Wheeler told the Narromine Star that the wetlands track was a good track for achieving personal bests. “I came here when the mud run was on in Dubbo and enjoyed it so came back for the 100th run,” he said. Mr Wheeler has been doing parkruns for more than six years. Miss Cooper attends the local parkrun each week and has done so since it started. “I like that [parkrun] gets you active and you can make new friends,” she said, indicating that she hopes the regular event will help her progress with running. Miss Cooper was one of a number of children who participate in

the Narromine wetlands parkrun each week. At four years of age, Sailor Smith was one of the youngest parkrunners at the 100th run. “She normally does a half [circuit],” her mum said. Lorraine Collison came from Maitland for a wedding and chalked up her 333rd parkrun during her stay. “I had walked around the wetlands and thought it would be nice to do the parkrun here,” she said. Camilla Arch also took time out from visiting with her parents who live in Narromine to take part. Carmel Kennedy came from Gilgandra especially for the 100th parkrun while Parkrun’s regional ambassador John Newton helped as a volunteer on the day. Mr Newton’s parkrun region is huge, incorporating the central and north coast and west to Bourke and Cobar. Parkrun started in Narromine thanks to the efforts of Ms Piddington and supporters keen to promote health and wellbeing locally. “I had been involved in community runs before,” she said. “Anything to get people moving!” Sally Everett and Linda Masterton were part of the 12-strong volunteer corps on the day assisting with the staging of the event. “I participate as much as I can. Anything to get people’s mental and physical ﬁtness up is a good thing,” Ms Everett said. Ms Masterton used to do parkruns in Dubbo until the local group started up, and hasn’t looked back. In 100 runs, Abigail Ballhausen retains the female record on the Narromine wetlands track, set on April 20, 2019 (20:31). Similarly, the male record set on April 27, 2019, by Lachlan Townsend (16:08) also remains unbroken. While records are there to be broken, “the only race in parkrun is against yourself,” volunteers will tell those lamenting their times. Congratulations, parkrunners!

Without volunteers, the event couldn’t be held.

Shooters trial for state squad By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE-DUBBO Riﬂe Club hosted the NSW State Team trials for full bore target riﬂe shooting last weekend. Club spokesperson David Brown told the Narromine Star that 16 shooters were trialling for the ten-person state squad. The trials featured ten-shot matches across several short and longrange distances at the club site just east of Narromine. Coaches at the event included 2018 Commonwealth Games medal-

lists Jim Bailey and Ben Emms. Mr Emms also won the 2015 world championships in full bore target shooting. Those chosen for the NSW squad from the weekend state trials will compete in Canberra in November, Mr Brown said. “NSW has a strong team. Last year in Brisbane we won all but one event,” he said. Where other riﬂe clubs have been dropping in numbers, the Narromine-Dubbo Riﬂe Club is growing, Mr Brown said. The club currently has over 80 members.

Rugby icons coach clinic at Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS RUGBY juniors and those keen to try the sport were thrilled to participate in a free skills development clinic held by retired icons of the game on April 21 at Cale Oval, Narromine. Open to children aged six to 12 years, including those who had never played rugby before, the clinic was part of several held during the Classic Wallabies and Wallaroos’ tour of central west towns. A large group of children joined rugby greats Scott Higginbotham, Se’ei S’au, Bronwen McArthur, Selena Worsley and Shirley Russell for catching, passing and tackling practice as well as mini-games as the sun went down. They then enjoyed a sausage sizzle off the ﬁeld. Patrick McCutcheon from the Narromine Gorillas Rugby Club, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2022, said the club was pleased by the turnout to the free coaching event.

Ex-Wallaby Scott Higginbotham. “This is wonderful. Look at their smiles,” he said. The Classic Wallabies program brings together former and retired Australian representative rugby players who support the ongoing growth and development of grassroots rugby across the country. The players help conduct coaching clinics, raise funds and play in exhibition matches. Team manager Lochie Lawrence told the Narromine Star that visiting

rural and regional communities is an important element of the Classic Wallabies program. “Tours like this put rural and regional Australia in the spotlight,” he said. “It’s about giving kids a go, even if they haven’t tried rugby before,” he said, pointing out a small girl in a dress who had come down to the clinic with her family. “That young girl has never played before and look at the fun she’s having out there with the others.” Mr Lawrence also said the central west tour forms part of Australia’s bid to host the Rugby World Cups in 2027 and 2029, with the ﬁ nal decision due to be announced on May 13. After visiting Narromine the coaching team headed to Warren on April 22 and ﬁ nished their tour in Coonamble on April 23 with an exhibition match against the Western Plains Barbarians.
