Shire rate rises on the way Now’s the time to have your say By SHARON BONTHUYS

Jabiru flies high in Museum By SHARON BONTHUYS THE very ﬁ rst Jabiru light aircraft to be made and sold commercially in Australia has found a new home in the Narromine Aviation Museum. The new purchase strengthens the impressive collection of aviation artifacts displayed by the museum, considered Narromine’s premier tourist attraction. Purchased with a National Cultural Heritage grant from the Federal Office of the Arts and a donation from Hare & Forbes Machinery, the two-seat LSA 55 aircraft was hoisted into the air at the museum on April 30. It had been transported to Narromine from its previous home in a hangar in western Victoria. The Jabiru joins several other full-sized aircraft on display at the museum including historic relics such as the replica of the Wright Flyer ‘A’, Corben Super

Ace, and a Tiger Moth. “It’s a very light aircraft, only 300 kilograms,” said museum chair Peter Kierath of the Jabiru. “The signiﬁcance of having a Jabiru here is incalculable, given the history of the aircraft at this aerodrome,” he said. The Narromine Aerodrome, already with a rich aviation history stretching back to 1918, played host to a Jabiru pilot training school during the 1990s. Produced in Bundaberg, Queensland by the Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd, the aircraft was a popular plane within Australia in its time and sold to at least 30 countries. The Narromine Aviation Museum continues to grow in popularity, with over 220 people visiting the site over the Easter long weekend. Additions to its collection like the new Jabiru will only continue to attract new visitors, Mr Keirath said.

WITH prices rising across the board and inflation sitting at 5 per cent nationally, family budgets are tightening everywhere. The ability of many families to absorb higher municipal charges, among other things, is a key issue at present. Narromine Shire residents keen to know what rate rises are planned for 2022-23 should consult the council’s Draft Revised Integrated Planning and Reporting Documents (RIPRD) while up for public exhibition. Passed by council on May 3, the draft RIPRD will be available for public exhibition for 28 days, during which time residents can provide feedback to the council. The fi nal plan will be considered by the council in June 2022. At a glance, the draft RIPRD flags minimal rises in fees and charges across many areas and in some cases no increases at all. Dog and cat registrations, for example, will not increase, nor will the cost of development applications. Minimal increases of between two and four per cent will impact interment costs in cemeteries, and waste and

recycling fees will rise between two and ﬁve per cent. The highest fee increases involve inspections across various areas including temporary structures, water supply, waste management, public roads etc, ranging between 12 and 67 per cent depending on inspection type. Residential water consumption rates are set to rise from $1.85 per kilolitre to $2.10 per kilolitre in Narromine and Trangie, an increase of 13.51 per cent. In Tomingley it will rise from $1.62 per kilolitre to $1.80 per kilolitre, an increase of 11.11 per cent. Non-residential water consumption rates will rise by 15.18 per cent and water access charges will also rise between 11-12 per cent across the communities. The Narromine Star understands that the water rates are linked to the cost of providing the service, which is substantial. Since 2011-12, the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has been responsible for determining the annual “rate peg” for NSW in terms of property rates. The proposed Operational Plan in the draft RIPRD states: “each year the NSW

Government determines the maximum amount by which Councils can increase their annual general rates income... Under this [IPART] framework, a new index was established, the result for 2022-23 is a rate increase of 0.7 per cent.” This 0.7 per cent increase is not per individual property as land valuations will be taken into consideration in the rating process. The full list of fees and charges can be found in the draft RIPRD, which will remain open to public scrutiny for 28 days. Residents should take the time to consider the documents in full and express their views to the council through the feedback process. The items currently available for public exhibition are listed under “public notices” on the council website. The Narromine Star has sought clariﬁcation from the council about the availability of hard copy documents for residents of Narromine, Trangie and Tomingley who may not have internet access to be able to consider the information and participate in the feedback process. A response was not received prior to publication.

Local teachers join statewide strike strike action By SHARON BONTHUYS TEACHERS from Narromine and Trangie joined state-wide strike action by members of the NSW Teachers Federation (NSWTF) on May 4. Part of the “teachers deserve more than thanks” campaign, the state-wide strike action came as a new poll of 10,000 NSW teachers by the federation revealed some disturbing information. The poll found 73 per cent of teachers thought their workloads were unmanageable and 90 per cent thought their pay did not reﬂect their expertise and responsibilities. NSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos said the Premier had failed students, their parents, and the teaching profession. “One of the most fundamental roles of a government is to ensure there is a qualiﬁed teacher in every classroom with the time and support to meet the needs of each child,” he said. “The teacher shortage has created a crisis in our classrooms. As of Febru-

NSW Teachers Federation President Angelo Gavrielatos ary, there were a total of 2,383 permanent vacancies across 1,251 schools in NSW.” Narromine High School announced on social media on May 3 that “our school will not be operating as a result of the [NSWTF] decision to strike.” Narromine Public School posted an announcement from Denise Toohey, Principal, indicating the school would “be open with minimal student supervision due to industrial action.” A similar announcement was made by Trangie Central School. “Minimal supervision means onsite teaching and learning continues, however, temporary class structures and a modiﬁed timetable are required to meet

safety and supervision requirements,” the notice stated. Locally, the state-wide strike action involved a rally at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. NSWTF organiser Tim Danaher told the Narromine Star on May 3 that he was hoping for a large turnout. “We had 700 people attend the last rally and I’m hoping we’ll get 1000 on May 4,” he said. Mr Gavrielatos’ message was blunt. “If we don’t pay teachers what they are worth, we won’t get the teachers we need. “That the Government is pursuing a new Award that seeks to impose a 2.04 per cent salary cap, with no change to the crippling

working conditions experienced by the profession for a three-year period, is contemptuous. “Acting on uncompetitive salaries and unsustainable workloads is the only way to stop more teachers leaving and attract the people into the profession we need to ﬁ x the shortages,” he said. “The profession is now left with no alternative but to act in the interest of our students and our profession, and take industrial action.” As part of the industrial action the NSWTF also banned all new Government (Department and NSW Education Standards Authority) policies and initiatives due for implementation on and from day one of term two. Federation members were also instructed to walk out if NSW Government members of parliament sought to enter school grounds. The department has indicated it is seeking a resolution for a new three-year teachers’ award through arbitration in the Industrial Relations Commission this month.

May is blood pressure check month By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH World Hypertension Day on May 17, the Stroke Foundation would like community members to get a blood pressure check at their local pharmacy during May. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a key risk factor in stroke. Stroke Foundation Chief Executive Officer Sharon McGowan said high blood pressure often goes undiagnosed as it has no immediate symptoms. Over time it puts extra

stress on blood vessel walls and can cause them to narrow or break down, eventually leading to a stroke. “A quick and painless blood pressure check can be all it takes for someone to change their lifestyle and reduce their stroke risk.” According to the Stroke Foundation, a staggering 4.7 million Australians live with uncontrolled high blood pressure but may not realise it. A normal blood pressure measurement is described as around 120 over 80mmHg

(units of pressure). A measurement of 140 over 90mmHg is regarded as high blood pressure and puts a person at increased risk of stroke, regardless of their age. “If there is one thing that we have learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that people are keen and able to manage their risk of exposure to illness. We want to apply that mindset to stroke prevention. “When 80 per cent of all

strokes are preventable, why would you not want to know your risk?” Ms McGowan said. Free blood pressure checks are available at the pharmacies in Narromine and Trangie. Narromine Pharmacy hopes the foundation’s initiative will encourage more people to have health checks with its pharmacists, spokesperson Sara told the Narromine Star. “We provide free blood pres-

sure checks all year round,” she said. “We have protocols which we follow depending on the range of blood pressure. This might include monitoring it more regularly [if warranted], a non-urgent referral to the doctor, an urgent referral to the doctor or a referral to the hospital. “Our pharmacists are more than happy to have a chat about preventative health care and we will be screening patients that are at a particularly high risk,” she said.

Discounted washing machines in water saving scheme SOCIAL housing tenants in the Narromine shire are eligible to apply for a heavily discounted washing machine as part of a NSW Government initiative to save on water and lower the cost of living. Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said the initiative will reduce living costs while boosting water and energy efficiency in the region. “Out in the bush we know water is a precious asset, not to be taken for granted, and every drop of water counts,” Mr Saunders said. “That’s why we’ve invested in this initiative to help save up to 25,000 litres of water a year per machine. “It’s been a tough few years for our community and we’re committed to easing the cost of living pressures many face. These heavily discounted machines could save you $220 – $245 a year – as well as saving water, electricity and even detergent.” Applications are open to tenants living in Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) housing located in one of 43 local government areas across the state, including the Narromine shire. Successful applicants can choose between four different sized machines, and will pay a

WHAT is it with people who feel compelled to rip branches off young trees in Narromine? What joy does it bring them? For the second time in just

a few months, vandals have targeted trees near the Narromine Star office on Burraway Street. The young trees targeted on two occasions now are within sight of the Narromine Police Station. If they

continue to lose branches through random acts of vandalism, they will not grow. The trees share the streetscape and when mature will provide valuable shade for parking motorists. Give trees a chance!

NARROMINE STAR.

By SHARON BONTHUYS AUSTRALIAN Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) responded quickly to public anger over the condition of the Narromine Railway Station. Following our enquiries on Easter Monday, ARTC staff attended the

site on Wednesday, April 20, and removed the rubbish and weeds from the platform and mowed the grounds. The heritage railway station building was secured to prevent unlawful entry. Arrangements have also been made with Narromine Shire Council for a regular

rubbish collection at the station. As our photos show, the site looks much nicer and tidier than the horriﬁc scene that greeted a trainload of tourists recently. Residents concerned about graffiti at the site incorrectly assumed that Narromine Shire Coun-

cil is responsible for removing it. Graffiti on private property must be removed by the asset owner, Council has advised. As the owner of the railway station and rail assets, ARTC is responsible for the clean up of the graffiti on station property.

An ARTC spokesperson has told the Narromine Star that the company is in the process of arranging for the removal of the graffiti as soon as possible. “ARTC welcomes suggestions from the community regarding the station,” the spokesperson said.

“However, the structure is bound by heritage provisions and consultation with key stakeholders would need to occur prior to any changes being made.” ARTC is also investigating additional security of the site and grounds in light of recent events, the spokesperson said.

HSC written exam timetable released By SHARON BONTHUYS IT’S only ﬁve months away but the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) written exam timetable has been released. The NSW Education Standards Authority site lists the timetable which shows written exams will start on October 12 and run through until November 4. The site also advises on acceptable equipment that can be taken into exams, including approved calculators. Links to additional resources and exam advice and support are also available. Students can also view their personalised HSC timetables via Students Online, the site says. The Narromine Star wishes all HSC students the best as their exams approach.

Girl guides hall no more By SHARON BONTHUYS WHAT remained of the Girl Guides Hall that was razed by ﬁ re in Narromine on February 20 has now been removed. The early morning blaze inﬂ icted extensive smoke and water damage on the World War II-ear building, and the ceiling collapsed. The department advised

at the time that the building would be demolished for safety reasons. The site on the corner of Meringo Street and Treseder Lane, opposite the Narromine High School, has now been cleared of debris. Temporary fencing still surrounds the site. The future use of the site is yet to be determined.

Resident concerned about safety in Nymagee Street

A child retrieves a ball from Nymagee Street.

Nymagee Street between the ovals. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

By SHARON BONTHUYS JOHN MANN is worried about the kids. More particularly, those crossing Nymagee Street, Narromine, in the vicinity of the ovals. The avenue of trees planted close to the roadside between the ovals creates a pretty picture. Mr Mann says that the trees, combined with the placement of a pedestrian refuge on the road, create a safety issue. “The trees create shadows, especially in the morning. Then you’ve got dark school uniforms,” said Mr Mann, who has lived in Narromine

since the mid-1960s. The 82-year-old resident has some visual impairment and takes considerable care when driving. The shady avenue challenges Mr Mann and his greatest fear is hitting a child who attempts to cross between the ovals as he drives through. “I know I have to be doubly careful coming through here,” he said. “I don’t want to hit someone stepping out from between the trees.” Pedestrian refuges are concrete structures placed in the middle of a road to help residents cross the road safely in stages. They also are considered to be traffic calming de-

vices, because motorists have to slow down to travel around them. There are several of these around Narromine. When the Narromine Star visited Nymagee Street last month one day after school, children were engaged in an organised activity on one of the ovals. We also observed many vehicles speeding along Nymagee Street through the avenue of trees. The speed limit at this location is 50 km/hr. While we spoke to Mr Mann about his concerns, a child dashed out onto the road from between the trees west of the pedestrian refuge to collect

John Mann at the pedestrian refuge on Nymagee Street. a football. It is situations like this that worry Mr Mann. “I’m not sure I could stop in time,” he said. Mr Mann would like to see the pedestrian refuge relocated further west, away from the trees, to improve safety. He would also like to see the trees pruned back to reduce the effect of the shadows, particularly around the pedestrian refuge. The Narromine Star contacted Narromine Shire Council about Mr Mann’s concerns and whether moving the pedestrian refuge is an option. We also asked if speed humps and or a reduced speed limit in

the location were possible considerations to improve safety. A response from Council was not received prior to publication. Mr Mann wants parents to remind their children about road safety, and to check it is safe to cross the street before doing so. “Don’t just step out onto the road. Stop, look and then cross when it’s safe,” he said. He also urged motorists to take care in Nymagee Street near the ovals. “Please slow down and take care passing through this spot, and always look for the children.”

The History of Macquarie Valley Irrigation: Part 1

Olive harvest.

Grape harvest.

Lettuce picking. PHOTOS: MALCOLM CARPENTER.

Pumpkin harvest.

This is Part 1 of a speech delivered to the Narromine Garden Club in 2021. THE irrigation Industry in the Macquarie Valley has been made possible by geological events and human contribution over time. I would like to brieﬂy touch on some of the details in chronological order. Geology – the headwaters on the Macquarie River are in the Central Tablelands. The river is entrenched in the weathered Mesozoic sediments as it travels west. The Mesozoic period dates back 150 million years. The river system was much larger than it is today and has changed its course somewhat. Dramatic geological changes on planet Earth have taken place – climate, weather, sea levels and land movement caused by tectonic forces. During the Gondwana period 180 million years ago, the supercontinent started breaking up and separating. Hard to appreciate walking from New Guinea to Australia or from England to France.

Early colonial exploration I have selected a few people of the many who have contributed to the discovery and opening of the land West of the Great Divide. f 1810 – Governor Lachlan Macquarie who took over from Governor Bligh after the Rum Rebellion was instrumental in opening and developing the land west of the Blue Mountains. He authorised the exploration and crossing of the Blue Mountains over the ridge tops, this was achieved by Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth in 1813. f 1814-15 – William Cox, the road builder, constructed the road 3.7 metres wide, 163 kilometres long to Bathurst. He remarkably achieved this great feat with five free men, 30 convicts and eight soldiers in just seven months. This opened up the floodplains which are very suitable for flood irrigation.

Early colonial settlement f 1820 – Saw the beginning of the land grab as white settlers moved westward. f 1836 – Settlement runs were legalised; these were the early grazing days. f 1878 – William O’Neil settled in the Narromine district.

The ﬁrst to grow wheat and lucerne, he was called the “Father of Narromine” and was involved in many pursuits. He spoke of the great possibilities of irrigation from the Macquarie River. f 1830 – Trangie town developed on ‘Weemabah Station’. f 1882 – The township developed with the advancement of the railway from Dubbo to Nevertire.

Burrendong Dam f 1908 – Mr Ritchie, chief engineer of water conservation, saw potential for a dam constructed in the catchment of the Macquarie River. f 1946 – Legislation was passed to construct Burrendong Dam. f 1950 – Construction of the dam commenced. f 1967 – Burrendong dam was officially opened by Robert Askim, the then Premier of NSW. Burrendong Dam is a rock ﬁ lled embankment with a clay core across the Macquarie River. Its purpose includes irrigation supply, ﬂood mitigation, water supply for towns, and stock water and hydroelectric power generation. In more recent times, water has been released to the Macquarie Marshes for environ-

mental purposes. The dam impounds Lake Burrendong and fi lls with water from the Macquarie and Cudgegong rivers as well as Meroo Creek on the alluvial flats. The building of Burrendong Dam has provided reliable water to the Macquarie Valley. Unfortunately, today the bureaucrats resist building public dams because of economic environmental costs which they consider too high. There has hardly been a public dam constructed since the 1980s. Thank goodness there was more vision back in the days when Burrendong was initiated. The dam at 100 per cent capacity holds 1200 gigalitres, but can be fi lled to 160 per cent during flood periods when water is held back from lower Macquarie river flooding. The dam’s capacity is approximately three times the size of Sydney Harbour.

Early irrigation – Macquarie Valley Early irrigation extended from Edgell’s farm and Ross Shepard’s “Baroona” on the alluvial ﬂats east of Narromine to “Gin Gin” on Stoneman’s property “Sleepy Hollow.”

Along the river ﬂats downstream of Narromine, Granny Smith apples and citrus were grown on the farms near “Canowie”, downstream of “Buddah Station.” The McKillop family grew citrus for the overseas market in 1913. Later on, the Narromine Citrus Packing Shed (now Soul Food Depot) was established and the Clarke family played a major role in growing and marketing of Narromine citrus. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, irrigation schemes were established by private farm enterprises. Narromine – Trangie, Buddah – Lake, Trangie – Nevertire, Nevertire – Greenhide and later Tenandra and Marthaguy. f 1968 – Auscott Pty Ltd produced cotton in Warren and Trangie. Bob Christensen was design engineer for Auscott Farms, Buddah Lake Scheme and Byron Ag as well as helping others. Auscott is a great contribution to irrigation development and a great help to cotton growers in the district. Auscott was recently sold to a Canadian backed company called Australian Food and Fibre. z Part 2 of this story will be published in next week’s Narromine Star.

Local history

A walk down memory lane: Narromine Railway Station Contributed by NORMA MEADLEY, LOCAL HISTORIAN THE Narromine Railway Station was a busy and important hub in the early years of its existence. Trains carried stock, wheat, wool and other farming products, it also carried items to local store keepers. Local mail, newspapers and passengers were carried by the trains. Even the circus came to town via our local trains. Travelling salespeople came by trains, and people like optometrists who usually arrived for a couple of days, setting up in a room at a local hotel. In 1919 during the ‘flu epidemic, some of the fi rst people to suffer were passengers and salespeople as they were stopped from entering the town. Many newlyweds timed their weddings to fit in with a train leaving to take them on their honeymoon. In the early years (before 1949 when Narromine got a hospital), patients travelled to Dubbo by train. Generations of Narromine families sent their children away to boarding school on the Western Mail. By 1900 the Down train arrived in Narromine at 9.43 am and the Up at 5.08 pm. This timing provided convenient transport for school children to the east of the town. Miss Win Webb remembers: “From Dubbo to Minore the Western Mail picked up children for the Narromine Public School at Webb’s Siding. Often we were late for school if the train was late each way. “The Mail was a very convenient train as it dropped the mailbag at Webb’s Siding, where the mail was sorted by Mrs Bult, and the settlers received their mail mostly by horse and sulky. They also

received bread dropped at Webb’s Siding.” From an article by Robert McKillop in the Australian Railway Historical Society bulletin in January, 1997, passenger ticket sales peaked at 20 000 in 1925. At that time railway travel was still the most reliable option for longer journeys. There were cars, but the condition of roads was not good. During all these years there were constant complaints about our railway station. In fact, the station was opened in 1883 and by 1899 Narromine Municipal Council was agitating for improvements to the station and the gates. The gates at the time were too small and they inconvenienced people who had to sit waiting while the trains shunted up and down the station line. A brief timeline: From 1899 through to 1954, Narromine tried for a new station building without success. In 1912, the platform was lengthened at both ends of the station. In 1928, electricity came to town and the lighting of the station and the residence was sanctioned. In regard to the lighting of the overhead bridge the railway authorities advised that this was a matter for the Municipal Council as the bridge is the thoroughfare for the public. In 1946, tenders were called for the erection of a new railway station as the present building had outlived its usefulness. It fell through. In 1975, the railway bowed to the competition of the motor car and replaced all services west of Dubbo with road coaches. By 1987, Narromine railway staff was reduced to the Station Master (SM), two Assistant SMs and John Short, who had to gain safe working quali-

had to be installed. By September 1995, the restored building was used by Skillshare as a training and administrative centre. Later the Mudyigalang Craft group used the station for some years as their base before moving to their present Dandaloo Street premises. In 2022, it is sad to see our station in the centre of our town looking so sad and decrepit. My husband Bob and I recently visited the Nyngan Railway Station – such a lovely old building of red bricks, and two storeys in parts – how did they get such a wonderful building? It has been turned into a museum and tourist information centre and is a credit to the town. As is their park, along a major portion of the main shopping centre along the railway line. The footbridge: It is interesting that overhead railway bridges can be found in Nyngan, Parkes, Narromine and Wellington, all still being used but for Narromine. Our footbridge was built at Hexham, near Newcastle, in 1901 as one of the fi rst examples in NSW of a Warren truss footbridge with trussed stair stringers. It was erected in Narromine in 1914. Bob McKillop completed a Narromine Railway Heritage precinct report for Unlimited Narromine Inc. in March, 1999. Bob said our local bridge was one of seven surviving trussed stair stringers and one of seven surviving bridges building next to a level crossing. He said the SRA Heritage Unit rated the structure as significant for its aesthetic and scientific features. I would like to acknowledge the historical articles completed by Bob McKillop on the Narromine railway. I have used some of his stories above.

Narromine Railway Station in the early days. PHOTO: SUPPLIED BY BOB MCKILLOP.

Postcard from 1925: Our railway shack This article was published in the Narromine News on November 4, 1925 PEOPLE were complaining about the state of the Narromine Railway Station almost one hundred years ago, as this item in the Narromine News from 1925 attests. “The shack which does duty as a station house at Narromine is being subjected to a well earned coat of paint. It is to be hoped that the painters will not put the paint

on too thick, as because of the building’s weight of years and the handicap of rotten timbers it might tumble down if any further burden was added to it. The ediﬁce is a distinct disgrace to the Railway Department, a menace to the lives and health of those who are compelled to labor ‘neath its roof, and not at all in keeping

with the importance of progressiveness of the town and district which it has to serve. As a piece of architecture it is a burlesque. It has been added to and botched to that degree that many people would not regard it as suitable as a place to stable horses. The Station Master’s office is a huge joke. The door is so much aslant that one has to be careful when entering the cubby house that he does not bump his head against the

jamb of the door. The ﬁttings in the office are of the most crude description, and no business would have the telephone so far removed from the centre of authority as is the case in these mostly up to date railway premises. The Station Master, especially at night, has to stumble away from his office in the darkness to a distant part of the building to answer telephone calls which are fairly frequent at the station. Why a telephone is not in-

stalled in his office is another of the eccentricities of the railway department. Possibly it is so small that a telephone would crowd the furniture out of the building. The whole structure is out of date and unsightly, and it seems a waste of time and good paint to tinker about with the place. We hear a lot about safety ﬁ rst on the railway, but we maintain that it is a case of “safety last” with the Narromine Station house.”

Prince, Archduke amongst famous visitors By NORMA MEADLEY, LOCAL HISTORIAN NARROMINE has had its share of important visitors over the years. In 1892, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria arrived at Narromine in his special government train, and spent several days visiting Mr Mack at Narramine Station on a shooting trip. The Archduke and his wife were assassinated in Sarajevo in 1914, which started the First World War.

In 1908, a special train arrived in Narromine heavily burdened with military attired boys from Dubbo and Wellington to take part in a parade on the Narromine ground. Edward, the Prince of Wales, stopped at the station on August 13, 1920, for a whole ten minutes. “The railway station had been elaborately decorated, and as the train steamed in cheers greeted the Royal party. A dais had been erected, which was gaily decorated with hunting and greenery. HRH inspected a guard of hon-

or, which consisted of returned soldiers, cadets, V.A.D.’s, War Chest and Red Cross workers,” a report from the time said. The State Governor, Sir Philip Game arrived to open the Narromine Show in 1932. In 1952 The Governor, Lieutenant-General John Northcott, was welcomed at the Narromine railway station. He came to open the Narromine Show. Returning soldiers from the Boer War, and World Wars I and II were met at the Narromine station by excited family members and local dignitaries.

Dorothy welcomes new smoke detector Contributed by CAPTAIN EWEN JONES, 401 STATION NARROMINE FIRE and Rescue NSW 401 Station Narromine installed a special smoke detector for a deserving elderly resident on May 1. Funded by the generous donation last month from the Mudjigalang “Many Hands” Craft Group, the detector will assist 99-year-old Narromine resident, Dorothy Maher. The special photoelectric smoke alarm is designed to alert hearing impaired people when smoke is detected. It also can alert them in different non-ﬁ re situations using special strobe lighting. Mrs Maher greatly appreciated receiving the new detector which was installed by Deputy Captain Peter Treseder. Two other smoke alarms with ten year batteries were also installed in Mrs Maher’s home. A second smoke detector for hearing impaired persons funded by the Mudjigalang donation will be installed in the near future. Well done Mudjigalang members!

Churches combine to raise funds By SHARON BONTHUYS OVER 100 people from local churches gathered at the Narromine Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) hall on April 30 for a fundraising dinner. The event was held to raise funds for the scripture program at Narromine High School and Trangie Central School. Narromine Churches represented at the dinner included the SDA Church, Generocity Church, St Mary’s Anglican Church, St Andrews Uniting Church, and Narromine Baptist Church. Other churches in attendance included Trangie’s Uniting Church and Dubbo’s Riverside Church. Those gathered enjoyed a two course meal, with entertainment by talented parishioners Racheal Housden (SDA) on piano and David Taylor (Generocity) on guitar. Geoff Smith (Narromine Uniting) also read an entertaining poem about reversing trailers which generated as many nods as it did laughs. A lively auction followed the dinner led by host Kyle Robinson (SDA) and Geoff Smith as auctioneer. An array of items including plants, barbed wire art, cakes and vouchers for accommodation and meals were donated for the auction which raised $6 800.

They laughed about having colour in their teeth as well as their hair. Club spokesperson Sally Everett told the Narromine Star that the Jets were committed to staging an event for the community that promoted health and wellbeing. “Communities have experienced lockdowns and isolations for so long, now that events can return, we are committed to bringing an event that is fun, great for mental and physical fitness and is family friendly,” Ms

Everett said. “We are a club that has a family culture and recognises the importance of supporting the community and giving back to the community that supports us,” she said. The event was kept low-cost due to the support of Macquarie Credit Union (MCU) and a health and wellbeing grant from Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Community University Partnership program. MCU representative Swairee Rupasinghe, who also attended the event, said her organisation was keen to support activities for families and older people locally. Participants received a t-shirt, headband, sweatband, sunglasses and two individual colour packets for use at the event. And boy, did that colour get used... Congratulations, Jets, on a great event.

The three-day event ran from April 22 to 24 and attracted attendees from all over NSW. The event was safely staged with no injuries reported. A small city of horse ﬂoats and caravans sprang up across the showgrounds for the duration of the event. “We had 900 runs across the campdraft,” said

Joh Hitchcock from the Trangie Campdraft Committee. Her husband Sam, President of the committee, said 1200 cattle were used during the event. The Trangie Pony Club held events for those under 17 years on Saturday, April 23. The club also ran the canteen for the whole weekend to help feed the hungry hordes together with private providers. Campdraft is an important community event which brings people together and beneﬁts the town, Mrs Hitchock said. “It’s just a good way for everyone to get together. We’ve had COVID and the

Orana Beekeepers a-buzz with new members Contributed by MELISSA SALTER THE beneﬁts of beekeeping far out way just harvesting honey. The impact that bees have on food production and our environment is all encompassing, one that backyard beekeepers can all become a part of. There is an increase in the popularity of keeping bees, however, the correct practices need to be learnt to become a successful and responsible beekeeper. Good beekeeping can be a rewarding hobby for all ages. Whether you’re an experienced beekeeper or a complete “newbee”, Orana Beekeepers always welcomes new members. The group is a combination of beekeepers of all ages from extensively experienced beekeepers, keen to share practical ad-

vice and mentoring support, to some members who do not yet have hives, but have a keen interest in bees and ﬁ nding what is involved in keeping bees. What is key at each meeting is that you never stop learning no matter what your experience! Are you starting out with bees or a keen beekeeper? A practical way to keep learning is to join a bee club such as the Orana Beekeepers. Come along to meetings and check the club out while learning new skills or when you have your hive ready. Nucleus hives may be purchased from other club members and contacts to start you on your bee journey. Practical activities at monthly meetings include inspecting hives, building frames and hives, training days, extracting honey and overall good practices of beekeeping

and reporting. At previous meetings guest speakers have included a queen bee breeder, a honey agricultural show judge, and a member who is an experienced commercial beekeeper who regularly now comes to meetings sharing his knowledge with other members. The inaugural annual honey competition was also a highlight for members, with so many different types of honey on display. If you would like to learn from experienced fellow beekeepers, contact the club for more information. Meetings are held on the second Saturday of the month. At out April meeting the committee tought the art of candle making with pure beeswax from the hives and members made candles to take home. Bee Happy!

Invitation to join Catholic Schools Week ST Augustine’s Parish School invites everyone to see ﬁ rst-hand the many good things happening at their Catholic school. St Augustine’s will celebrate this year’s Catholic Schools Week with a number of special events starting Wednesday, May 4, with ‘Lunch on the Lawn’ and open classrooms after lunch for all parents and friends. “Finding God in Everyday Life” is the theme for Catholic Schools Week which runs from May 1 – 7. “Catholic Schools Week is a special time for our school and the local com-

munity. It is an important opportunity to invite the wider community to visit and see the many good things happening at our school,” said Renee Matheson, Principal. “Our intention this year is to throw open the doors to all who are interested in hearing about our unique and distinctive school community. In order to do this, St Augustine’s is hosting many different events during the week with open classrooms, lunch on the lawn with our families, public speaking, and a school talent show on Friday.

“Current and prospective families, as well as members of the wider community, are warmly invited to visit our school during this week,” she said. “Our school enjoys an excellent reputation in the local area and has done so for many years and the wonderful sense of community spirit is as strong today as at any time in our history. “We have many dedicated and skilled teachers at the school who bring out the creative talents in each student through a range of contemporary and diverse

learning experiences and programs,” she said. “All of our staff are very excited about this event, our students are justiﬁably proud of their school and we are looking forward to the opportunity to welcome as many visitors as possible next week. “With this in mind, I encourage parents, grandparents and members of the community to take the time to visit and participate in the many activities we have organised. You will be very welcome.” For further information, please contact St Augustine’s Parish School.

Sport Christie and Hood Castlereagh league Round 2 wrap-up Contributed by BRYSON LUFF THE Coonamble Bears gave their many loyal supporters something to cheer about when they overran the Dunedoo Swans at Coonamble on Saturday. It has been slim pickings for the Bears over the past few years. Their young and enthusiastic side play an entertaining style of football as evidenced by the fact that nine of the eleven tries that they notched in their impressive win were scored by members of their back line, with their centre Tyrell Kennedy going in for four tries. The Bears led 30 points to nil at half time and kept the momentum going to register a 60 to six victory. The presence of former NRL and English Super League player Justin Carney in the Trangie Magpies side for their clash against the Gilgandra

Panthers at Trangie created a good deal of interest in the match which was played on the Maggies’ Old Boys Day in front of a good crowd on a heavy surface. Whilst Carney was a star attraction, he was well contained by the Gilgandra defence throughout the entertaining match. A stellar kicking performance by the Panthers’ ﬁveeighth, DJ Smith saw the visitors claim the competition points, but they had to work hard to do so. The Magpies were well and truly in the game at halftime with the scores being locked up at 10-all. Trangie opened the scoring in the seventh minute when their second rower DJ Kennedy went on a rampaging run down the left ﬂank to score. Gilgandra hit back in the 14th minute when their winger pounced on the ball that had

been kicked by DJ Smith. This was to be the fi rst of five tries that Smith’s kicking played a leading hand in. The Panther’s full back, Laiten Diggs, was the next to benefit from a perfectly placed kick by Smith and at the midway point in the fi rst half Gilgandra lead 10 to four. The Magpies replied five minutes later when their hooker Jeremy Barker darted through a yawning gap in the Panthers defence and with the conversion successful it was 10-all. It was not until the last quarter of the match that the Panthers were able to draw away from the home side, scoring four tries in the fi nal eighteen minutes against a tiring Magpies outfit to notch up a 36 to 10 win. Narromine continued their good start in the Castlereagh League competition when they downed the Gulgong Bull Ter-

riers 22 to 10 at Narromine. Gulgong will be looking forward to round three when they will host the Cobar Roosters in what will be a real test for them against one of the competition favourites. The Roosters will have to overcome the very long road trip, and a warm reception on the ﬁeld by the Bull Terriers to claim the valued points. There will be much interest in the battle of the Magpies at Baradine with the Trangie Maggies showing promise that they can be a force in the competition if they can see out the eighty minutes. Round three will start on Friday night when the Gilgandra Panthers host the Dunedoo Swans in a night game.

Narromine Jets work hard Jacana Powell and Aimee Wall. Contributed by SALLY EVERETT, NARROMINE JETS THE Jets took on Gulgong Bull Terriers in their fi rst home game in the Castlereagh League competition on April 30. The rain was kind enough to hold off for the day for the crowd to enjoy two great games of footy. Unfortunately, the league tag girls went down to a fast Gulgong team 20 – 12 who took advantage of a few mistakes made by our girls, but the Jets girls didn’t give in and tried their best to the fi nal whistle. The look of disappointment on their faces after the game showed that they are determined to get back on the winners list this week when they play Binnaway. Players’ player was Serena Prout who tried her heart out all game. Despite taking the win 22 – 12 in fi rst grade, it was a scrappy game with a 45 per cent completion rate throughout the game. Captain Jahrryd Usher, in his team talks at halftime and full time, gave the team the realisation that they have a lot of work to do at training and there is to be no complacency in the future. Players’ player was Alex Sambrook who tried his best all game and laid the platform for the team. With a few niggling injuries early in the season, the boys are looking forward to a bye this week and will be set to nail down some execution to the game plan in the next two weeks at training. With the league tag girls being the only game this week, we hope to see a loud and proud crowd cheering them on against Binnaway at Cale Oval.

All Words wins again for Robb

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES THRIVING under the care of trainer Brett Robb the fouryear-old gelding All Words completed a winning hat-trick on Friday at Muswellbrook. Before coming to the Robb stable at Dubbo, All Words had been unplaced 10 times and recorded only one win from 11 starts. First up for Robb, All Words ﬁ nished fourth at Wellington and in succession has since won at Mudgee over 1850 metres, Dubbo (1600 metres), and Muswellbrook (1750 metres). Ridden by Grant Buckley in the 1750 metres benchmark 58 handi-cap at Muswellbrook, All Words travelled behind the leaders Careering Away and Dragon’s Shadow before issuing a challenge in the straight. Doing slightly better in a tight ﬁ nish, All Words ($4.20, favourite) won by a nose from Izfallingdown (Mikayla Weir, $9) with a head to the third placed Rothrock (Clayton Gallagher, $12). The cleverly named Izfallingdown (sired by London Bridge) had over the previous three starts won at Orange and Canberra while Rothrock was a last start winner at Quirindi.

Rain causes havoc for golfers

Contributed by DALE HARDING U N F O R T U N A T E LY there was no golf on Wednesday or Saturday due to the weather. The steak night last Saturday was a big success, with over 70 people attending. Thanks to the golf ladies who prepared the salads and decorated the tables. A big thank you to the men who cooked the bbq and Kane and Sally behind the bar. On Saturday, May 7, we are playing a stableford event for a trophy donated by Jeanette O’Brien. On Wednesday, May 11, we are playing a stroke event with the trophy donated by Judy Heckendorf. Looking forward to some dry weather!

There was no play for the ladies or the Gerries on Wednesday. Further rainfall forced the cancellation of Saturday’s major competition which was transferred to to Sunday. The ladies’ Saturday comp and the Veterans’ nine-hole comp was also washed out. The cancellation of Saturday’s golf allowed the Committee and some members time to carry out maintenance work on the gardens around the Clubhouse. A job well done. On Saturday night there was a high-

Bob Ashdown Appreciation Day

THE inaugural Bob Ashdown Appreciation Day on April 23 was a great success with a good representation from the family and of course quite a few of “Ashy’s” Mates. All Winning rinks got a prize of sorts and they included the following triples teams: Neil Ashdown, John Silk and Bob Davis, along with Jenny Fitzgerald, James Coen and Don Sullivan. The trio of Josh Fitzgerald, Billy West and Tracey Silk got amongst the loot, as did the fi ne bevy of men, namely Aaron Ashdown, Richard Hyde and Ben Clark. Plenty of tall and some true tales were remembered afterwards and all in all a fitting tribute to a true club man of Narromine Bowling Club. Social Bowls on Thursday, April 21, afforded Billy West, Greg Wright and Don Sullivan the Day’s Prize for supplying the Best Score card on the day. Whilst Sunday Bill Turner, Richard Hyde and the “Beaver” collected all the loot on offer. The planned outing to Trangie on April 24 was postponed a week. The fi nal match in the “A” grade pairs was put on hold as we kicked off the Triples Championships last Saturday.

One of the youngest to have a go at the event.

WESTERN RACING REPORT

Rylan’s Pick and Rogue Runner in exciting finish at Nyngan By COLIN HODGES HAVING both strong links with the local community and heavy support in the betting ring, it was ﬁtting that Rylan’s Pick and Rogue Runner fought out an exciting ﬁ nish to the 1400 metres Nyngan RSL-Nyngan Cup before a big crowd on ANZAC Day. The winner Rylan’s Pick is owned by local identities Ken and Kerry Wright, is trained at Dubbo by Brett Robb formerly from Nyngan, and was one of four winners on the day for jockey Clayton Gallagher who served most of his apprenticeship with Rodney Robb at Nyngan. Robb, the trainer of

runner-up Rogue Runner, is the father of Brett Robb and has been the backbone of racing at Nyngan for decades. Although easing from $2.60 to $3.40 favourite when the money came for Rogue Runner ($8 to $3.80), Rylan’s Pick nevertheless proved costly for bookmakers. Leading all the way Rylan’s Pick (Clayton Gallagher) survived a serious challenge in the straight to score by a half length from Rogue Runner (Jake Barrett) with the Wayne Marsden, Menindee trained Allez Rev (Zara Lewis, $11) a similar margin away in third place. First leg of a double for Brett

Robb was Legal Zou (Clayton Gallagher, $2 favourite) which set the pace and after a stirring battle over the ﬁ nal 200 metres prevailed by a head from the Rodney Robb trained Looking Forward (Jake Barrett, $11) with Mr Bobcat (Tiffany Jeffries, $4.60) third in the 1100 metres Nyngan Bowling Club Class One Handicap. Disqualiﬁed after “winning” a race at Gilgandra, the Kylie Kennedy, Narromine-trained Padrone remained eligible for Maiden Class and took out the 900 metres Maiden Plate at Nyngan. Running second behind Rewardus to the turn, Padrone (Clayton Gallagher, $3.80) shot

away for a ﬁve lengths win over Shotgun Sophie (Tiffany Jeffries, $3.20 favourite) and Stylish Star (Elissa Meredith, $4) which came from a long last. Owned by a syndicate of agents from Victoria, Drunkasamonkey had four unplaced starts in that state before joining the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo. First up for Robb in the 1400 metres Maiden Plate, Drunkasamonkey (Clayton Gallagher, $1.80 favourite) was the leader and won by a half length from Monetise (Elissa Meredith, $7.50) and Rupicasso (Andrew Banks, $3.40). The $1.80 favourite No Debt

(Jake Barrett) led by four lengths turning for home but was run down and beaten a half head by the Clint Lundholm-trained Bandahara (Andrew Banks, $7) with Kallie (Clayton Gallagher, $5.50) third in the 1200 metres Inland Petroleum Benchmark 45 Handicap. Last start Bourke winner, the Connie Greig-trained Billy Bent Ear (Jacob Golden, $6), from near last, came with a rush to beat the leader Expect A Hero (Jake Barrett, $3.20 favourite) and Japingka (Clayton Gallagher, $4.20) in the 900 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap.
