Good Samaritans assist St Mary’s

By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST week’s front page story about the senseless vandalism at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Narromine struck a chord with many people.

The 89-year-old church was vandalised twice over the Mother’s Day weekend. A toilet was destroyed and a window smashed in the St Mary’s hall, and a vent broken in the foundations of the church building, enabling a hose to be pushed through and left running two nights in a row.

Last Thursday, a local Narromine man who does not wish to be identified contacted the Narromine Star and expressed disgust with the vandalism. He then put into motion a plan to replace the smashed toilet for the church.

ON May 12 the Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, announced that residents of Rawsonville, Dickygundi, Minore and Terramungamine just outside Dubbo will benefit from improved mobile services.

The remote border community of Boggabilla in far northern NSW was also a recipient of funding for mobile upgrades under the second round of the Regional Connectivity Program (RCP).

With the exception of Boggabilla, all the other communities are a very short drive from the bustling regional centre of Dubbo.

Why these communities were singled out for funding when many other rural, regional and remote communities across the central west NSW have greater need for mobile services, is being questioned by other community leaders.

“Almost anywhere in NSW and particularly west of the Newell Highway has third world connectivity,” said Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies.

“I don’t believe that this government has taken the issue as seriously as it needs to. The Newell Highway taskforce in a letter to Min-

the places that really need it? ister McKenzie highlighted the lack of mobile service for much of the highway and the response spoke of other work being done but indicated the highway was not a priority,” Cr Davies said.

“This is the third busiest freight route in Australia.

The areas to the west have been almost completely forgotten and even on the very flat Mitchell Highway between Trangie and Narromine, the calls regularly drop out.

“Mr Ballhausen’s incident was indicative of the outcomes we can expect in the absence of a reasonable level of service.”

Cr Davies was referring to the appalling situation in March when farmer Alex Ballhausen was seriously injured in a fall at his property 60 kilometres from Narromine and was unable to call for help.

Mr Ballhausen is still recovering from his ordeal and his injuries.

“I realise all of these areas with no coverage can’t be fi xed immediately but

I would have thought this funding could have been distributed across more communities rather than concentrated around a major regional centre that already has good connectivity,” Mr Ballhausen said.

“As for my experience, I have been contacted by a customer service specialist from Telstra who is investigating what upgrades are planned for our area.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications told the Narromine Star that under the second round of the RCP, the Government announced $140 million in Commonwealth funding for 93 place-based telecommunications infrastructure projects to improve digital connectivity across regional, rural and remote Australia.

“This includes Australian Government funding of $72.4 million for projects through the Connecting Northern Australia Continued page 2

From page 1 By the weekend, the toilet had been replaced and replumbed by a tradesperson who donated his time and materials to do so. The church now has full use of this facility once again.

Other good Samaritans have donated a security light and will help trim a tree on the church property to improve security, a church spokesperson told the Narromine Star.

A floor coverings expert also examined the carpet inside the church building earlier this week to determine if there is water damage from under the foundations where the hoses were left running.

“We are amazed at how many people who aren’t Anglican came forward with donations and to help us,” the

spokesperson said.

The church committee was thrilled with this outcome and thanked the good Samaritans for restoring their faith in the community.

If you witness acts of vandalism in the community, please report them to the police.

Last week’s cover story in Narromine Star (above left) prompted locals to lend a hand to help St Mary’s fix the vandalised toilet (above).

At the time Mr Coulton issued his press release, only three projects were visible online at the Round Two RCP website.

The second round projects will be updated on the department’s website following the caretaker period around the federal election, the spokesperson said.

The department developed an online project noticeboard for the second round of the RCP to link infrastructure providers, telecommunications carriers and communities, and identify potential projects, the spokesperson said. It was not used as part of the assessment process.

Mr Coulton’s media release also referred to five Mobile Black Spot Program base stations receiving funding under the fi rst stage of the Mobile Network Hardening Program to receive at least 12 hours battery backup power upgrades. These are located at Pilliga, Ballimore, Westella, Oakdene and Manna Mountain.

Nine locations in the Parkes electorate are also receiving a National Broadband Network (NBN) Sky Muster satellite service installation, five of which have been completed, the spokesperson said.

“The projects which received funding for this round of the RCP were nominated by a telecommunications company and were selected by [the Department],” said Mr Coulton.

“The Narromine Shire was one of the major beneficiaries of [the fi rst round] of the RCP, announced in April last year. Field Solutions Group (FSG) received more than $1.6 million in Round 1 to provide high capacity data across the Macquarie Valley,” he said.

“FSG will install a fi xed wireless network, comprising of seven new towers and one co-location in the Narromine-Warren region. Planning for this project is currently underway; FSG is negotiating with landholders to identify suitable sites for the construction of the towers.

“I look forward to the completion of this project, providing people in the area with access to improved broadband services and data, delivering fast, affordable and reliable connectivity,” Mr Coulton said.

Star asked the telecommunications giant about its commitment to rural, regional and remote Australia.

“Yes, we’ve recently made some announcements regarding our global operations, but we’ll never forget our own backyard and we’ve made a number of announcements that will improve connectivity for regional and rural Australians,” a Telstra spokesperson said.

Telstra Regional General Manager Michael Marom said “providing regional connectivity is not just a Telstra responsibility.

It’s a challenge that must be shared between federal, state and local governments and with providers such as the NBN, us and other mobile carriers.

“Importantly, we recognise that the challenge of providing connectivity across regional and remote areas is not complete and we continue to work with all levels of government, including local government to better understand where investment is needed so this can be taken into consideration when reviewing future investment options.”

Mr Marom said that three quarters of all Australians can now access Telstra 5G where they live, and Telstra’s 4G network now covers more than two million square kilometres of the Australian continent.

the experience for our regional customers by upgrading more than 180 3G-only sites and augmenting capacity at selected 4G sites which are experiencing very high growth in traffic,” he said.

“A further $200 million will also be spent for co-investments with government and local communities to improve connectivity in the bush over the next four years.”

With the continent of Australia covering an area similar to Europe, regional connectivity is certainly a complex issue. And while the Narromine Star does not begrudge the communities near Dubbo receiving their mobile upgrades, we can’t help but think that on the scale of importance, other communities further afield should have been prioritised.

Said Cr Craig Davies: “Unfortunately this is an issue about which there has been far more discussion than action.

“It is urgent that at least the major highways and rural roads have good coverage because that flows over to the homes that exist along them.

“It should be approached on a needs basis rather than for political expediency in the lead up to an election.” z What is your view on regional connectivity?

Thursday, May 19, 2022 Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region NARROMINE STAR

Narromine hospital auxiliary announces doctor news Contributed by VICKI GAINSFORD OUR May meeting proved to be very informative and productive with a great variety of agenda items under discussion.

Sanu Joy, the Health Services Manager at our hospital, presented some especially wonderful news. Dr Andy Caldin will be working on-site at our hospital four days a week, beginning May 23.

That’s Monday to Thursday, daytime, EVERY week! That’s GREAT NEWS! The virtual rural GP service will continue out of hours and on weekends for the time being. Another great achievement is our hospital, Narromine Multipurpose Health Service (NMPHS), is acquiring two new Registered Nurses (RNs) with specialist training.

But wait, there’s still more!

The staff at NMPHS were nominated as Nursing Team of the Year, one of only ten fi nalists!

Well done team!

The Hospital Auxiliary is currently raising funds to purchase a slit lamp for the hos-

pital. Patients who present to the hospital with eye injuries or something in their eyes will benefit from this apparatus and no longer be sent off to Dubbo Hospital to be examined.

It’s an expensive item and we’re very thankful to those in the community who’ve offered donations, and who’ve bought raffle tickets and items from our street stall held recently.

It’s important for the community to understand and be assured that equipment we purchase for our hospital stays in our hospital. And Sanu has assured us that equipment that has been funded by the Auxiliary, with other contributions, is being used when required and that staff are skilled in using it.

The question was asked of Sanu regarding whether patients other than emergencies could present to the Hospital for treatment.

Sanu responded with “yes, of course”, but the triage assessment on arrival which determines the seriousness of the illness or injury will determine the waiting time to see a doctor and receive treatment.

Emergency+ app helps pinpoint locations

By SHARON BONTHUYS ORANA Mid-Western Police District has encouraged residents with smart phones to download the Emergency+ application (app).

The free app was developed by Australia’s emergency services and their government and industry partners in 2013 and upgraded in 2020.

To date, the app has been downloaded more than 2.2 million times according to the Department of Home Affairs website.

Smart phones have an inbuilt global positioning system (GPS) which the Emergency+ app uses to help provide critical location information that the caller can relay when dialling Triple Zero (000).

A department spokesperson said that it is important to be aware that the app does NOT connect callers with emergency services.

“Its purpose is to provide the user with latitude and longitude information, which can then be provided

to emergency service organisations to assist in locating the caller,” the spokesperson said.

“However, a person must still have access to a mobile (or fi xed line) network to call Triple Zero. The Emergency+ app does not enable calls to Triple Zero.”

Last month the Narromine Star featured a story highlighting that telecommunications black spots impacted the ability of residents

in those areas to be able to call for help. The Emergency+ app would not be of assistance in those situations because callers must be able to connect by phone to the emergency services fi rst.

For other residents not impacted by service issues, the app would certainly be of benefit.

The free Emergency+ app can be downloaded from popular mobile device app sites.

Not too late to have your say: Final chance for public comment on council plans, fees, operations, assets

By SHARON BONTHUYS JUST a reminder that Narromine Shire Council currently has four documents currently available for public consideration and comment by residents.

TWO of these, the Draft Community Strategic Plan 2032 and the Draft Liquid Trade Waste Policy 2022, are open for comment until May 20.

The comment period closes on June 8 for the Draft Integrated Planning and Reporting Documents 2022, and on June 16 for the Draft Code of Meeting Practice Conduct 2022.

What are these documents and why is it important for shire residents to comment on them?

The draft Narromine Shire Community Strategic Plan is a ten-year plan that aims to guide and influence how all stakeholders can deliver the community’s vision using its resources to deliver services across the Shire. This plan reflects the highest level strategic planning undertaken by Narromine Shire Council.

The Draft Liquid Trade Waste Policy is all about sewerage. According to council’s website “sewerage systems are generally designed to cater for liquid waste from domestic sources that are essentially of predictable strength and quality. Council may accept liquid

trade waste into its sewerage system as a service to businesses and industry.”

Council’s draft Operational Plan says that “liquid trade wastes may exert much greater demands on sewerage systems than domestic sewage and, if uncontrolled, can pose serious problems to public health, worker safety, Council’s sewerage system and the environment.

“Liquid trade waste is defined in the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 as: ‘all liquid waste other than sewage of a domestic nature.’”

So what is ‘liquid trade waste’?

This may include liquid wastes from industrial premises, business/commercial premises, community/public premises, any commercial activities carried out at residential premises, saleyards, racecourses and stables and kennels that are not associated with domestic households.

It may also include tankered human waste, portable toilet waste and established sites for the discharge of pan contents from mobile homes/caravans, and any other waste tankered to the sewerage facilities from un-sewered areas.

The draft policy explains how the council will regulate liquid trade waste discharges to its sewerage system in accordance with the NSW Framework for Regulation of

Liquid Trade Waste.

On May 5, the Narromine Star briefly profi led one part of the Draft Integrated Planning and Reporting Documents released for public comment.

These comprise several documents including the Delivery Program 2022-27, the Operational Plan 2022-23, Draft Fees and Charges, Long Term Financial Plan 2022-2033, and the Asset Management Policy Strategy and Plans 2022.

The Local Government Act requires councils to undertake specific planning and reporting in relation to their operations, and these documents form part of that process.

The one that may interest residents most is the draft fees and charges document which highlights proposed rates for 2022-23 as well as other services Council provides. Some fees and charges have remained the same while others have increased. The amounts payable for property rates and water are also included in this document. It is important to note that the cost of providing services is factored into the charges so some service areas

will be more costly to operate and maintain than others.

The draft Delivery Program lists how strategic goals are translated into actions, primarily implementing the objectives established by the Community Strategic Plan within the resources available under the council’s resourcing strategy. All plans, projects, activities and funding allocations must be directly linked to this program.

The draft Operational Plan is the “money document” linking the budget, capital works program and the fees and charges.

It outlines in detail the rating structure, how services are priced and how it all links to NSW legislative requirements.

The Long Term Financial Plan aims to ensure the council is sustainable over the long term and remains in a financial position to provide and deliver services. It links community strategic planning with corporate planning over a ten-year period. This helps the community understand how projects and planning are budgeted for over time by the council.

Council’s assets include water, waste, the aerodrome, recreational and community facilities, transport (roads, bridges etc), buildings and drainage.

The draft Asset Management policy outlines how assets are managed, the levels of service, operational elements, maintenance, replacement, upgrades and disposal.

The Draft Code of Meeting Practice sets out the processes by which meetings of Narromine Shire Council and its various committees should be conducted. This includes how councillors can raise matters for discussion, public notice of meetings and associated papers, the process for public forums to be held to enable the public to comment on items of business at council meetings, debate and voting procedures, and more.

Hard copies of these documents are available at the Council office in Dandaloo Street, Narromine but now also at the libraries in Trangie and Narromine and at the BP Service Station, Tomingley.

Feedback to the council helps to show what the community thinks about how the council works.

If you feel strongly enough about any of the issues raised in these documents, consider providing feedback online via the council website, or put pen to paper and mail your response in by the closing dates.

National body to regulate heavy vehicles in NSW from August 1 HEAVY vehicle safety services across NSW will have a new home from August 1 with the transition of key regulatory functions from Transport for NSW to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).

Tara McCarthy, Deputy Secretary of Safety, Environment and Regulation at Transport for NSW said the transition was the next step toward nationally consistent compliance for all heavy vehicle operators travelling across NSW. “Heavy vehicles travelling within and through NSW will benefit from this next step in building a single, consistent national regulator for the heavy vehicle industry,” Ms McCarthy said.

“From 1 August roadside enforcement, investigations, prosecutions, and scheduled heavy vehicle inspections currently provided by Transport for NSW, will be some of the services transferring to the NHVR, along with 340 Transport for NSW staff who currently support the industry.

“The NSW Government has worked closely with the NHVR over the past 18 months to ensure the NHVR will be able to maintain or improve both the standard of transitioning services and also heavy vehi-

“This is part of a national reform program that will make the regulation of heavy vehicle movements across Australia even safer and more efficient.”

The NHVR will continue to

deliver services from the more than 200 existing Heavy Vehicle Inspection Stations, safety stations and on-road enforcement sites across NSW. The most noticeable change for operators will be that the current Transport for NSW Compliance Operations Inspectors will become NHVR Safety and

goal of borderless regulation of heavy vehicles and improved consistency for operators.

“This transition is another step in reducing the impact of state borders on the movement of freight across Australia,” Mr Petroccitto said. “We’ll be working with industry to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible.

“With more than half of all Australian heavy vehicle movements occurring within or through NSW, this state is vital for the safety and productivity of the heavy vehicle industry.

“In particular we’ll be working with our staff to ensure a more consistent approach to compliance and enforcement regardless of where you’re intercepted.”

The NHVR was established in 2013 as a statutory authority to administer the Heavy Vehicle National Law, which applies in all Australia’s states and territories except the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

NSW is the fi fth Australian jurisdiction – after South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT – where the NHVR will be directly delivering heavy vehicle regulatory services.

Weather postpones state aero championships

Kris Sieczkowski finishes his practice run.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

BAD weather in Narromine last week caused the postponement of the highly anticipated NSW Aerobatic Championships. Due to be held from May 12-15, the event has now been put back to September 22-25.

Twenty pilots had registered to compete across six categories of the state championships, said Ray Pearson, secretary of the NSW chapter of the Australian Aerobatics Club.

With the fi rst day washed out, participants took the opportunity to attend a judging

course at the Narromine Aero Club on May 12. This was a good opportunity to look at the technical aspects of the event such as performing and scoring manoeuvres, Mr Pearson said.

Mr Pearson said that it is important for competitors to attend judging courses to gain knowledge of the judging process and to support the development of aerobatics as a sport.

“Being a judge helps them know what judges are looking for in the competition. It also helps them give back to the industry.”

A typical competition will

field six judges while international events will have ten, Mr Pearson said.

Aerobatics in this form should not be confused with airshow-style aerobatics designed to appeal to crowds, he said.

“This style of flying is more regimented and follows strict guidelines,” Mr Pearson said.

The state championships involve competitors performing about 14 manoeuvres in a sequence within a defi ned space, each one with a degree of difficulty. The defi ned space, known as a “box”, measures 1 000 metres square and is in the immedi-

ate vicinity of the Narromine Aerodrome.

A number of competitors scheduled to compete have military backgrounds, including Mr Pearson.

The Narromine Star spoke with Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fl ight officer Mick Newby from RAAF Base Williamtown, near Newcastle. He owns a One Design aerobatic aircraft together with fellow RAAF officer and instructor Kris Sieczkowski from East Sale. Both came to Narromine to compete.

“All our fl ights at work generally have an objective.

When you go to fly your own

aeroplane, you can do what you want,” Mr Newby said.

Although the competition was postponed, the competitors did manage to get some valuable practice runs completed before leaving town.

The rescheduled state championships in Narromine in September will serve as a warm up to the national championships to be held in late October in Temora.

Mr Pearson thanked the Narromine Aero Club, Narromine Gliding Club and Narromine Shire Council for their support, and looks forward to returning to the town later this year.

DPI renewable energy and agriculture review invites submissions

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) invites submissions from members of the community for its review into the opportunities and issues associated with renewable energy infrastructure on agricultural land.

Led by the NSW Agriculture Commissioner, Daryl Quinlivan, the review was announced on March 8, 2022.

It looks at the framework for managing issues and opportunities from the forecast growth in the renewable energy and the agricultural sectors in NSW. “The renewable energy and agriculture sectors are both

important to the State’s prosperity and growth, and the Task Force has been asked to make recommendations (having regard to the Terms of Reference) on whether the existing framework for renewable energy could be improved to support the growth of both sectors,” the DPI issues paper states.

“The conversion of agricultural land for residential and industrial development and associated land use confl ict has already been reviewed in the NSW Agriculture Commissioner’s report “Improving the Prospects for Agriculture and Regional Australia in the NSW Planning System”.

“It made several recom-

mendations to improve the upfront consideration of agricultural interests, reduce land use confl icts and provide greater clarity and guidance on how potential impacts to agriculture are considered in the planning framework.

“As part of that review, the potential for confl ict from the use of agricultural land for the development of largescale renewable energy facilities was raised,” the issues paper states.

Submissions are now sought from anyone involved in or impacted by the development of the agricultural and or renewable energy sectors.

Independent not-for-profit Australian Renewable Energy

Alliance (RE-Alliance) is encouraging community members to make submissions to the review.

“RE-Alliance is preparing a detailed submission which will cover lots of issues including how renewable developers engage with and interact with the community, the impacts of renewable energy infrastructure on agricultural land and how the NSW Renewable Energy Zones [REZ] are being planned and rolled out,” said Fiona Luckhurst, engagement manager for Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone.

RE-Alliance considers investing in community engagement would improve the ex-

perience of renewable energy projects in agricultural communities, she said.

“We want to see information centres in every REZ so locals can fi nd accurate, up-to-date information about all the developments in one place.

“These information centres could also provide education and support to landholders being approached by renewable developers,” Ms Luckhurst said.

The issues paper and terms of reference are available on the DPI website under Agricultural Land Use Planning.

Submissions can be emailed to the Agriculture Commissioner until close of business on Monday, May 23.

Regional & Rural News

Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing impact on Australian agri COST increases will be felt right across Australia’s farm sector in 2022, driven by expected further hikes in energy and, to some degree, fertiliser prices as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, Rabobank says in a newly-released report.

The agribusiness banking specialist says disruptions to trade flows from the two major agricultural powerhouses of Russia and Ukraine have had a major direct impact on global grains markets and will continue to keep global grain and food prices elevated throughout 2022 “and likely beyond”.

But it is the war’s impact on the key agricultural inputs of fuel and fertiliser – sending prices of both skyrocketing – which will cut into farmer margins in a range of sectors including grain, livestock and dairy, fresh produce, tree nuts and sugar, the report says.

The bank’s analysis shows while the European Union’s latest sanction plans – which entail a move to ban Russian oil imports by late 2022 – will have a relatively small impact on grain and also fertiliser prices, there will be significant increases for energy prices, which are already very high, as a consequence.

Energy prices – both oil and gas – will rise further, and farmers and the food supply chain will have to prepare for continued high and volatile prices, says report author, RaboResearch general manager for Australia and New Zealand Stefan Vogel.

“For the Australian food and agri sector, the implications of the planned next round of EU sanctions on Russia are therefore more negative than positive as prices of farming outputs like grains are expected to move substantially less upward than those of input costs like energy and, to some degree, fertiliser,” he said.

“Farmers and the food supply chain will have to plan for elevated input costs, not only for fertilisers, but also because

of strong energy prices.”

Mr Vogel said over the past two decades, Russia and Ukraine had “risen into the ranks of major powerhouses in the food and agri space” to now account for a combined share of 20 to 30 per cent of world exports of several key commodities.

While this year will not see a full loss of grains, oilseeds and fertiliser exports out of the Black Sea, Mr Vogel said, with volumes still flowing from Russia and Belarus [despite sanctions] – Ukraine’s production and exports in 2022/23 are set to be heavily reduced.

“Ukraine in the 2021/22 season without the war would have shipped about as much wheat, barley and canola to the world market as Australia in the current record season.

In addition, Ukraine’s corn export volumes are again about the size of the whole Australian grain and oilseed export volume,” he said.

“As the war started in February 2022, Ukraine had already shipped at least half of the season’s volumes. Consequently, the world has not yet felt the full impact of the heavy absence of Ukraine’s supplies. However, this is about to change from July on-

will continue to feel the impact of rising energy prices. And especially container freight, not only because of the war but also due to continued COVID-related disruptions like lockdowns, especially in China, and continued labour shortages.

“Russia’s war in Ukraine though has so far not added much to fuel the fi re of container freight costs as the region is a rather small shipper of containerised goods,” Mr Vogel said.

Mr Vogel said Australia’s livestock and dairy sectors are also indirectly impacted by the Russia-Ukraine war through higher input costs from feed, fertiliser and energy.

“Neither Russia nor Ukraine are major importers or exporters of beef, dairy, pork or poultry though, so global trade flows of animal protein have not been disrupted anywhere close to the magnitude of grain trade disruptions,” he said.

Similarly, the report says, Australia’s fresh produce and tree nut sectors will feel indirect cost impacts from fertiliser and energy.

“Ukraine and neighbouring Moldova are amongst the top 10 global walnut exporters and the war may somewhat impact this trade flow. The knock-on effect to Australian almond producers is likely rather small,” Mr Vogel said.

“Russia is also amongst the world’s top 10 fruit importers – including bananas, citrus, stone fruit and lemons – which could drive trade re-routing.”

The immediate impact of the confl ict on international sugar trade and prices has been negligible, the report says, with neither Russia nor Ukraine playing a large role in international sugar trade. However, if the confl ict is sustained, the report says, international sugar prices will likely feel further support from grain prices as the sugar crop in several countries will need to compete for planted area for the 2023 harvest.

Parkes candidates meet the people: well, some of them…

Candidates Benjamin Fox, Trish Frail, Mark Coulton, Jack Ayoub, and Derek Hardman.

By SHARON BONTHUYS NINE candidates are vying for the seat of Parkes at this month’s federal election. They were all invited to the Dubbo RSL Club to meet with voters on the evening of Monday, May 9.

Sadly for the voters of this part of the Parkes electorate, only five of the nine candidates appeared at the event.

One, possibly two, gave apologies due to illness. At least two never replied to the invite at all, according to the hosts.

About two-thirds of the seats were fi lled in the auditorium.

Many of those present hailed from Dubbo.

The Narromine Star asked some of the voters in the audience why they had come. Debra Comer from Dubbo attended with daughter Samantha to see who the candidates were and what they stood for.

“It’s good to see a wide range of candidates,” Ms Comer said, pleased too that more people were attending this session than the forum at the previous election. “Only a few came last time.”

Ray Tickle from Dubbo had just one question for sitting member Mark Coulton MP, about when the refugee family from Biloela would be returned to their adopted home.

The audience gathered to hear candidates for Parkes speak on May 9. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. In time, he duly asked that question.

Well it wasn’t a ‘Great Debate’ and bore none of the hallmarks of the fi rst grubby shoutfest on TV when prime minister Scott Morrison debated opposition leader Anthony Albanese.

The five Parkes candidates who did attend introduced themselves and what they stood for, then faced the floor for a series of questions from the electorate’s voters.

And boy, were there some interesting questions!

Sitting member Mark Coulton MP (Nationals), Jack Ayoub (Labor), Trish Frail (Greens), Derek Hardman (Indigenous Party of Australia) and Benjamin Fox (Informed Medical Options Party) faced

a barrage of questions on numerous topics.

Candidates were asked about the Murray-Darling Basin Plan (MDBP), health and education systems and associated lack of staff, the impact of vaccine mandates on workers who chose not to be vaccinated, and lack of a federal corruption watchdog. Multiple questions were asked about the federal emissions-reduction ‘net zero’ policy. Not all candidates faced the same questions.

The two front-runners, Mark Coulton and Jack Ayoub, gave polished appeals to the voters and were thrown some of the toughest questions. They also fielded the most questions of any of the candidates. Mark Coulton MP, expressed not to know the fi ner details of the

Russell Everingham funerals

World Economic Forum when questioned about it, as did another candidate when asked.

Greens candidate Trish Frail said her party was “not against mining” but was keen to see that “we don’t wreck the land through mining.”

Answer of the evening went to Indigenous Party candidate Derek Hardman, who gave a sincere response to a question about the MDBP. “All we want is to see water in it. That is a healthy river,” he said, declaring the plan was nowhere near fi nished and allegedly riddled with “mismanagement, greed and corruption” for which someone needed to be held accountable.

Final speaker Benjamin Fox faced multiple questions about his party’s stance on vaccina-

tions, indicating the party supports vaccines “that have been through stringent safety studies.” A questioner asked why the Informed Medical Options Party does not support the World Health Organisation, but Mr Fox could not answer why.

Unlike the televised recent ‘Great Debate’, the RSL hosts kept the evening running smoothly, steered the questioning back on track when it strayed, and quickly muzzled any heckling. They should be considered for jobs at Channel Nine for future televised debates…

After all that, what did the attending voters think?

“I know who not to vote for,” declared elderly Dubbo resident Ruth Bray. She also thought those candidates who didn’t respond to the invitation were rude. “It’s a shame they didn’t respond,” she said.

David Horan from Dubbo, who asked numerous questions to various candidates during the event, said that he was also disappointed to see only five of the nine candidates appear.

“Those others who did not reply or bother to come will not be getting anything from me,” he said.

The federal election will take place on May 21.

Political News & Opinion

The Parkes Electorate Votes: 2022 With the federal election being held this Saturday, May 21, the Narromine Star invited all candidates to explain why they deserve your vote. All candidates were asked the same series of questions, and are published here in the same order they appear on your ballot paper. Note that not all candidates chose to respond to our invitation. For space reasons, we have limited each candidate’s responses to the first 800 words (approx).

of living tax offset. Combined with our previously legislated tax cuts, low and middle income earners will now benefit by up to $1500 and couples up to $3000 from July 1 this year. This comes on top of the $40 billion in lower taxes the coalition has already delivered since the start of the pandemic.

HOW will you address the lack of housing availability in Parkes?

WHILE housing supply is largely the remit of state and local governments, who control zoning, planning and land release, the coalition government is helping to boost supply through its HomeBuilder program, which has protected the residential construction industry with more than 137,000 HomeBuilder applica-

tions, generating $120 billion of economic activity.

WE’RE also providing incentives for empty nesters and pensioners to downsize their house to better suit their needs and lifestyle, helping to free up larger homes for younger families.

AUSTRALIANS over the age of 55 will now be able to downsize their property and invest up to $300,000, per person, in their superannuation fund outside of the existing contribution caps, from the proceeds of a sale. Pensioners who downsize their home will also be given greater flexibility by exempting the proceeds of the sale of the property from the assets test for longer.

THIS change means pensioners will now have two years to structure their assets following the sale of their home without impacting their pension. The coalition government is also making it easier for more people to purchase a home of their own. Over the last three years, the coalition government’s housing policies have supported more than 300,000 Australians into home ownership. In particular, fi rst home buyers have benefited, with over 160,000 fi rst home buyers in 2021, a 70 per cent increase on the average of

the previous decade. We have supported almost 60,000 fi rst home buyers and single parent families into home ownership through the Home Guarantee Scheme with a deposit as little as five per cent or two per cent, respectively. We have provided $2.9 billion of low-cost loans to community housing providers to support 15,000 social and affordable dwellings, saving $470 million in interest payments to be reinvested in more affordable housing. We unlocked 6,900 social, affordable and market dwellings through the coalition’s $1 billion infrastructure facility making housing supply more responsive to demand.

WE established the First Home Super Saver Scheme, helping 27,600 fi rst home buyers accelerate their deposit savings through super.

JUST this week, we also announced the Super Home Buyer Scheme. Commencing as soon as possible, fi rst home buyers will be able to invest a portion of their super savings to buy their fi rst home. Up to $50,000 or up to 40 per cent of their superannuation (whichever is less) will be able to be invested into their fi rst home.

This scheme makes it easier for fi rst home buyers to save

for a deposit, reducing the time people need to pay rent while protecting their longterm retirement savings. It also means a smaller mortgage with lower repayments, reducing the cost of living for households. A re-elected coalition government will also: • Help more fi rst home buyers get over the deposit hurdle by raising the number of low-deposit guarantees for fi rst home buyers to 35,000 each financial year.

• Deliver increased property price caps for the Home Guarantee Scheme, to ensure Australians can continue to have choice when purchasing their home.

• Increase the supply of new homes in regional areas by incentivising the purchase of new-build homes, providing 10,000 low deposit guarantees each fi nancial year for those moving to, or within, regional areas. This includes non-fi rst home buyers and permanent residents.

• Expand home ownership opportunities for single parent families by increasing the number of low-deposit guarantees for single parent families to buy a home (with a deposit of as little as 2 per cent) to 5,000 each fi nancial year.

er to build social housing.

We’re going to look at forming building societies that actually build houses for people and basically rent them out.

Which is coupled to the price.

If we get our prosperity back, we can easily afford it.

How will you address local telecommunication issues such as tower congestion?

They’ve got to defi nitely invest in more and more communication equipment to get better coverage. When we open up and decentralise, with the arrival of a lot more new people from the cities going into the countries to start businesses and are living there, automatically, that will be a follow up. We’re going to make sure that companies such as Telstra and other companies will have a fair go at it.

What version of the ag visa do you think will best solve the workforce shortage?

If there’s prosperity in country towns, people will flock to them. And they’ll fi nd jobs there. And they’ll also create a stable and probably educated workforce in the agriculture industry. You fi nd if people can stay in a town

because they’ve got regular work, which there is, you’ll fi nd the more likely to settle down in the town and have a stable place of residence and a stable place to work. And that’s how we’re gonna [sic] solve it.

How will you address issues surrounding health and Medicare funding?

We need to bring back all the professionals that have been taken out. I don’t believe in telehealth, absolutely. You can’t just diagnose somebody through the screen.

We need doctors, nurses, and specialists coming back into the country. We will do this by implementing a 20 per cent zonal taxation, cutting out HECS debt, and all that, in return for settling in the country area. We will bring back doctors, nurses, specialists.

How will you address the dissatisfaction of local health and education professionals?

They sent the unvaccinated ones away and now they are screaming that they don’t have enough people. They’ve shot themselves in the foot.

It’s total hypocrisy.

They should rehire those

unvaccinated nurses and doctors right away. It’s totally against our constitution to discriminate like that.

How will you address the lack of childcare available in the area?

Childcare should also be a low cost because it’s employment that’s essential to keep Australian mothers at work if they choose to do so. On the other hand, if we bring back prosperity, then people will be able again to live off the one wage. Like it used to be, because a lot of people take two jobs because of the high cost of living and not enough income. If we can bring back prosperity like in the 50s, and 60s, a lot of times, families could live off the one one wage. But also childcare should be available to mothers if they choose to keep a job or to stay in the profession.

How will you address issues around disability support?

Well, every case is unique and should be treated as such.

NDIS was originally designed as a good system. But as with everything, if the money runs out, nothing works. So we’ve got to look at that. But we also need to individualise those

services to disabled people, because everybody is unique and everybody’s got different needs. And they can’t just pick and choose what they get access to, they should consider every option.

How will you address concerns locals have raised about the inland rail?

We should look at the floodplains as a whole and see where the congestion points are. And make sure that there’s proper drainage, especially for freight rail. I mean, you need to build it higher up.

But there’s no reason why they can’t put certain tunnels or certain, you know, water release areas underneath the railway. That’s an engineering point of view real experts have dealt with this before and other countries, such as the US and look at a good option to secure proper water drainage sorted, we don’t build up floodplains around the areas where the railways.

How will you address the impacts of climate change seen throughout the region?

The climate changes every day. I don’t think throwing money at it makes any difference.

Mark Coulton MP, The Nationals WHAT will you do to help ease the cost of living pressures currently facing Australians?

GLOBAL factors such as high oil prices due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 are putting pressure on household budgets here at home. The coalition government understands that Australians are currently doing it tough, which is why we put in place our Cost of Living Package in the 2022-23 budget.

OUR temporary, targeted and responsible cost of living package will help to take the pressure off families across the Parkes electorate who are struggling with rising cost of living prices, when they need it most. The coalition’s $250 cost of living payments have started hitting the bank accounts of millions of eligible Australian pensioners, income support recipients, veterans and concession card holders. This comes on top of the halving of fuel excise which has seen fuel prices come down from above $2 per litre. Under our cost of living package, more than 10 million Australians will also benefit from a new one-off $420 cost

Petrus Van Der Steen, United Australia Party WHAT will you do to help ease the cost of living pressures currently facing Australians?

By taking the Australian economy off the leash and bringing back prosperity so everybody’s got more.

How will you address the lack of housing availability in Parkes?

We need to look at two things. It’s a matter of money, it’s a matter of land availability. Now, the local government laws prevent land release, we’re going to take that away.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, May 19, 2022

Jack Ayoub, Labor NSW WHAT will you do to help ease the cost of living pressures currently facing Australians?

A major element of the cost of living is the price of power.

We have a clear and extensively modelled policy that will not only create 6000 jobs (five in six being in the regions) but also reduce the cost of electricity by $275 a year.

How will you address the lack of housing availability in Parkes?

We have a plan to construct 20,000 social and affordable housing properties right across the country. Along with an additional 4000 homes for women and children fleeing domestic violence. This coupled with our Help to Buy Scheme which will provide 10,000 people 30 per cent equity for existing homes and 40 per cent for new homes. Which will see more Australians able to buy their own home. This scheme will work in addition to the current government’s First home Guarantee Scheme.

How will you address the lack of land available to build new houses?

This issue will require the advocacy of the Parkes MP,

Trish Frail, Greens NSW WHAT will you do to help ease the cost of living pressures currently facing Australians?

Australians struggle with the cost of living, paying their mortgage or rent, health, education, and women earn less than men, especially in the social sector. I have always been a strong supporter of women’s rights and I will fight to ensure our wages are equal to men. People have the right to live above the poverty line regardless of their income and as a Green’s member I will work with my party to introduce a liveable income guarantee.

How will you address the lack of housing availability in Parkes?

Work with the state and local governments, increase social housing and work to encourage fi rst home buyers and investigate the possibility of setting a rental housing cap for Parkes as I have noticed the price of housing is increasing because of the pressure of lack of housing available.

How will you address the lack of land available to build new houses?

As a councillor I know that

whoever elected. It will require strong leadership in order to develop a solution in partnership with federal, state, and local governments.

How will you address local telecommunication issues?

We have articulated a clear vision for regional telecommunications, knowing that it is a critical element in education, commerce, and the provision of regional health. $400 million over five years dedicated to eliminating black spots along regional roads using multiple carries to provide choice. Equally, $20 million for on farm connectivity to allow for the take up of on farm technologies which will boost productivity and improve safety.

All of which is underpinned by a detailed national audit that will be conducted, by attaching monitoring systems to Australia Post assets, to clearly define where problem areas exist.

We will also ensure that 3.7 million homes and businesses across regional Australia have access to broadband speeds of at least 100 megabits per second by 2025.

What version of the ag visa do you think will best solve the workforce shortage?

We will address pacific eco-

this is a local council issue, however I would work with local council’s and encourage them to release suitable land for housing.

How will you address local telecommunication issues?

We need more towers, and we need access to other services, not just Telstra. It is a major issue when people visit out west and in some towns where only Telstra is available, people have to go and buy a new phone for a day or two, people in the city do not understand this. It’s only fair that we have free NBN. What version of the ag visa do you think will best solve the workforce shortage?

Finding employees has been an issue to all businesses since the lock down of COVID-19 and it continues to be so. I believe that the government needs to work with businesses to fi nd a permanent solution for casual seasonal employment in Australia and not seek band-aid solutions like ag visa’s.

How will you address issues surrounding health and adequate Medicare funding?

Health is a major concern of the Greens and as a local Parkes member living in a remote community I have a good

Ben Fox, Informed Medical Options Party WHAT will you do to help ease the cost of living pressures currently facing Australians?

I would like to see lower taxes and less government.

How will you address the lack of housing availability in Parkes?

Reduce or remove red and green tape! Push to release more land for housing to increase supply and therefore bring prices down.

How will you address the lack of land available to build new houses?

I would push for more land to be released. By increasing supply to meet demand prices reduce.

What version of the ag visa do you think will best solve the workforce shortage?

I would support a model that allows the provision of workers where they are needed but ensures that those workers

health for psychiatry at a cost of $31 million over forward estimates.

How will you address the dissatisfaction of local health and education professionals?

The Labor party has always advocated for the working conditions of health and education professionals. Labor will improve conditions in the health sector by investing $135 million into 50 Medicare urgent care clinics that will be bulk billed. These sites will alleviate pressure on emergency departments. They will be based in existing GP clinics and community health centres. Labor will support education professionals by attracting more high achieving teachers to address staff shortages and skills

gaps. To do this, Labor will invest $71.5 million to the High Achieving Teachers Program, and will support up to 1500 high achieving professionals, including mathematicians and scientists, to retrain as teachers by paying them a part-time salary as teachers’ aides and getting them into fast-tracked masters programs. Finally, a Labor government will further incentivise regional health and education professionals by ensuring that a provision of new houses that are built under Labor’s Housing Australia future fund are dedicated to housing doctors, nurses and teachers.

How will you address the lack of childcare in the area?

Under a Labor government, childcare will become more affordable for working parents.

The arbitrary cap on funding will be lifted, and parents will be able to utilise childcare services more days of the working week.

This will inevitably see an uptick in the demand for these services, encouraging people from across the regions to enter into this space. In turn, Labor’s childcare policy will stimulate regional economies, encouraging people to up-skill and enter into this burgeoning market.

Health was in a crisis before COVID-19, now it’s worse

and it will take millions of dollars and years to fi x it. I will be ensuring that we are not forgotten and not just for one off projects but on a continuous basis, the improvement of the health for Parkes residents is essential.

How will you address the dissatisfaction of local health and education professionals?

Increase of wage is a major concern that the Greens are planning on addressing, encouraging nurses and doctors to rural areas and ensuring that they have housing in rural areas.

How will you address the lack of childcare in the area?

It’s time to recognise childcare as an essential service available to anyone who needs it, not just those who can afford it, and we need new services. Childcare is education, it’s not a babysitting service therefore, like all levels of education and public services, childcare must also be properly funded to ensure care is high-quality and workers are supported.

Even before the pandemic, the old fee-based system put enormous fi nancial stress on families and limited real choices for primary carers,

who are overwhelmingly women.

How will you address issues around disability support?

People with disabilities shouldn’t be classed as ‘value for money’. NDIS needs to be fully funded and all staff need to be trained in disability awareness and support for those who have disabilities including their assistance animals.

How will you address concerns locals have raised about the inland rail?

I brought up some of the concerns at the Narrabri ‘Meet and Greet’ on Wednesday, May 12, which were coal seam gas, inland rail, Pilliga forest and the Liverpool Plains and how I am concerned that the community has concerns and I will work with locals in addressing their concerns and making sure that they are heard.

How will you address the impacts of climate change seen throughout the region?

Again, working with local councils and the state governments to ensure that there is enough funding to fi x roads on a regular basis and to ensure the roads are suitable for all heavy vehicles.

are protected from not being taken advantage of.

I would also support anything that encourages Australians to take on those positions.

How will you address issues surrounding health and adequate Medicare funding?

I would encourage the promotion of natural health remedies and advocate for better diets and exercise. By improving the health of the people we reduce the dependence on pharmaceutical intervention and reduce the load on hospitals.

How will you address the dissatisfaction of local health and education professionals?

Reduce red tape and workloads on teachers. I know they were protesting for more mon-

ey and I am sure they do deserve it but when you get down to the bottom of it, money is not what motivates the good teachers.

They want to make a difference with their students.

Clean up the unnecessary paperwork and free up the curriculum to allow teachers to meet students at their points of interest to increase engagement. Formally support the big picture model of education.

How will you address the lack of childcare available in the area?

End the vaccine mandates and all COVID-19 restrictions.

Increase their pay so it more reflects their primary and secondary school peers.

How will you address issues around disability support?

Push for an independent investigation into the system and also push for the transparency and accountability of all decisions made.

How will you address the impacts of climate change seen throughout the region?

Promoting a healthy planet by pushing for independent investigations of the use of chemicals in farming and promoting organic and permaculture farming.

How will you address the struggles regional media outlets face to continue providing vital local news?

IMOP will stand for freedom of speech and the removal of censorship.

nomic challenges and ease the agricultural worker shortage by reforming the Pacific Labour Mobility Scheme, the seasonal workers Scheme and expanding the Pacific Labour Scheme. Through these reforms the federal government will meet the upfront travel costs under the seasonal workers program, costs which currently have to be met by farmers. We will make it easier for participants in the scheme to bring their families with them to live and work in Australia. Finally, we will establish a robust and sustainable fouryear visit, with portability and strong oversight.

How will you address issues surrounding health and adequate Medicare funding?

By expanding the John Flynn Prevocational Doctor Program to more than 1000 placements in rural Australia per year. This will assist in getting doctors out to our regions.

By investing $135 million into 50 Medicare urgent care clinics, bulk billed. These sites will alleviate pressure on emergency departments. They will be based in existing GP clinics and community health centres. By reducing the PBS co-payment by $12.50. By reintroducing bulk-billed tele-

understanding of the cost of health, especially if you have to travel to see your specialist.

The cost of everything is painful, including travelling away for yourself and ensuring that you leave enough money to keep your house running. For example, if you have children at home they need money for food. Smaller towns don’t have a doctor and they have to travel again. If they don’t have a car or funds for petrol, they don’t see a doctor. I believe to see a doctor face to face is your right as an Australian citizen because you are living in a rural area you should not be discriminated against.

Political News & Opinion AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D ERS, SAUNDERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo FAMILY-OWNED farming businesses will benefit from new laws passed in Parliament last week that will see stamp duty exemptions extended on the transfer of primary production land to a company or other entity directed by a family member. The removal of stamp duty for family-owned companies, trusts or entities will cut costs and help support the next generation of farmers.

Agriculture plays a huge role in NSW’s economy. Initiatives which encourage more people into the sector will only grow that contribution and, at the same time, encourage fresh ideas and new practices in farming.

THE NSW Government is offering grants ranging from $2000 to $40,000 per site for Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers across regional NSW as part of a $171 million investment in EV charging over the next four years.

A range of destinations across regional NSW can apply for the grants, including motels, wineries, cafes, restaurants, natural attractions, visitor information centres, museums and zoos.

A series of EV tourist drives will also be developed across the state to promote EV travel across regional NSW, following the rollout of the EV chargers.

The EV destination charging grants will be offered on a co-funded basis for the purchase and installation of EV chargers in regional areas, which can provide a top-up of up to 130km of range in an hour.

THE NSW Government is launching a Digital Skills Accelerator for Tourism program to help the region’s tourism businesses transform their online marketing.

Destination NSW has partnered with digital consultancy Tourism Tribe to offer the free program to accommodation

providers, tour companies and visitor attractions.

The program will provide customised digital health checks to ensure businesses optimise their websites, improve their online listings and grow their Facebook and Instagram channels.

This is about supporting our local business owners and workers to develop the skills they need to be successful and to help grow the visitor economy.

THERE was fantastic news last weekend with Deputy Premier Paul Toole and Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway announcing the 11km toll-free tunnel from Blackheath to Little Hartley as the preferred tunnel option for the Great

Western Highway.

This is going to transform travel between the east and the west, reduce congestion, and improve safety for residents, tourists and our freight industry.

Transport for NSW will continue its program of consultation with Blue Mountains and Central West communities, and the Wiradjuri, Dharug and Gundungurra communities through a series of online and face-to-face information sessions about the tunnel project in coming weeks.

Buick car club visits Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Aviation Museum hosted a visit by the Buick Car Club of Australia on May 17.

In the central west for the Buick Nationals 2022 in Dubbo from May 15 to 27, celebrating the club’s 50th anniversary, the club stopped in Narromine for the morning on their way through to Trangie.

The Aviation Museum’s carpark was nearly full with beautifully restored Buicks from various eras, as our photos will attest.

Ably looked after by the museum’s volunteers, the large group of car enthusiasts enjoyed their visit to Narromine’s premier tourist attraction.

NDIS roadshow visits Narromine

The Social Futures team of Caitlin Bennett, Hannah Kennedy and Ben Williams at the Narromine NDIS roadshow visit on May 10.

A roadshow informing people about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) stopped in Narromine on May 10.

Run by not-for-profit organisation Social Futures, the Narromine visit was part of a multi-stop tour across western NSW to let people with a disability know how the NDIS can support them.

The roadshow will also visit Gilgandra, Warren and Forbes this week.

“We are very keen to hear about the needs of people in these communities,” said Frances Riley, Aboriginal and Outreach Community Engagement Lead. “We also want to let you know how we can help.”

Ms Riley said she was excited about the visit. “Our focus is on identifying any gaps in communities with regard to NDIS, supports and needs,” she said.

Ms Riley said some people in

the region had to drive for up to two-and-a-half hours to get to Dubbo, which was the reason for the roadshow.

“We want to provide individuals and families with support and information closer to home, and we are also mindful that the price of petrol has risen and that means many people living in remote communities are under increased financial pressures.

“The aim of this roadshow is to make it easier for people with a disability, and their families, get the support they need, such as a comprehensive NDIS plan and access to great services.”

Ms Riley said two sessions were delivered in Narromine on May 10 – one in the morning for individuals with a disability including parents and carers and a second session in the afternoon for providers of disability services, schools, health and other services.

St Mary’s Flower Show a stunner!

By SHARON BONTHUYS IT was a beautiful afternoon indoors at the St Mary’s Anglican Church hall on Friday, May 6, when they held their much anticipated flower show and high tea.

From simple posies in vases to full floral arrangements, the decorative displays showed the skill and flower arranging talent of many locals.

The flower show received a large number of entries, leaving the judges a difficult decision.

Entrants and guests also enjoyed a delicious high tea pre-

pared by the St Mary’s Anglican Women’s Australia committee.

Attendees enjoyed the day and agreed that the hall was alive with colour.

“I’m so pleased to see everyone here today,” said Audrey Maynard, who walked away with a fi rst prize for her pretty pink display.

The “Crossley Drive Crew” celebrated two fi rsts and a second, with crew member Pam Fletcher declaring she was “so excited”.

The flower show was the fi rst to be held in some time but won’t be the last, said the hardworking organisers.

Succulents featured heavily in some displays.

Trangie Fire Station open day popular with visitors

By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE Fire Station held its open day on Sunday, May 15, at the museum housing the historic 1918 Garford Fire Truck.

With the Trangie Car Club holding its Cars and Coffee event just metres away in Dandaloo Street on the same day, it was the perfect opportunity to introduce the work of the Fire + Rescue NSW to locals and visitors alike.

Station Commander Wade Haines told the Narromine Star he was pleased with the turnout. A number of people who stopped by were visitors to the town, he said.

“They have been asking what we do, and we’ve also given them fi re safety information to improve safety at home,” he said.

The chance to look at the historic fi re appliances in the museum was also a major drawcard, Commander Haines said.

The free sausage sandwiches also went down a treat with the hungry visitors.

Two-year-old Artie Gillespie was right at home in the cab of one of the Trangie fi re appliances on display at the open day.

With his uncle Wade and grandpa Mark Haines involved in the service, fi refighting might be something he takes up when he’s much older.

We’ve come a long way in firefighting science since this beauty took to the streets of Trangie once upon a time.

Fire safety tips to help keep you safe this winter Contributed by FIRE + RESCUE NSW (FRNSW) EVERY winter there are more than 1000 home fi res, from which around 200 fi re-related injuries occur. A fi re can take hold in three minutes, yet it only takes seconds to prevent one.

Help us help you by taking action to stay out of harm this winter.

Stay out of harm this winter by checking the following.

Smoke alarms: Did you know that you will not smell smoke while asleep?

Only working smoke alarms save lives.

Test that your smoke alarms are working. If not, change the batteries or replace the alarms.

Check the smoke alarm is in-date. Smoke alarms have a lifespan of ten years.

Give the smoke alarm a vacuum, if you haven’t done so in the last six months, to remove dust and any insects.

To meet legislation you must have at least one working smoke alarm on each level of the home placed between bed-

rooms and living areas. It’s the law.

FRNSW also recommends having one in each bedroom.

Hardwired and interconnected is best.

Escape plans: Having a home escape plan in conjunction with a working smoke alarm will greatly increase your chances of getting out safely. Every second counts.

If there is a fi re in your home, do not wait.

EVERY SECOND COUNTS. GET OUT and STAY OUT and then call Triple Zero (000).

Never go back inside a burning building.

Remember to consider the special needs of children, the elderly or the disabled when developing your escape plan.

Draw your escape plan, and discuss it with your whole family.

Know and record two safe ways out of every room. Make sure that your windows and doors are not obstructed and can be unlocked and opened quickly if necessary.

Practise your escape plan regularly with the whole

household, including pets.

Your letter box is a great place to wait for the fi refighters’ arrival.

As you escape, make sure you close internal doors behind you. This can reduce fi re spread and minimise damage.

Ensure your flues and chimneys are regularly cleaned.

Place a fi re screen in front of open fi res to protect your family.

Have your chimney serviced prior to using it by a qualified tradesperson.

Purchase a fi re screen if you do not own one. Fire screens should always be placed in front of fi replaces when in use.

Ensure your wood pile sits at least a metre away from the fi replace.

Choose a safe place to store matches and lighters where children cannot reach, and that is at least a metre away from the fi replace.

heaters before you use them.

If you suspect a faul,t have the item checked by a qualified repairer or replaced. Check all cords for fraying and damage.

Plug heaters directly into wall sockets only.

Do not overload powerboards.

Install any new heaters and use as per manufacturer’s instructions.

Check your portable outdoor heaters before use and have them serviced or replaced if required. Ensure that the area where you plan to use them is level, well ventilated and away from awnings and other combustible materials.

NEVER use any outdoor heating or cooking equipment inside your home including those that use ‘heat beads’ or LPG as a fuel source.

This type of equipment is not suitable for indoor use and can lead to a build up of lethal gases which could be deadly.

Check the manufacturer’s recommendations before use.

Heaters:

Electric blankets:

Ensure everything is kept a metre from the heater.

Check your electric and gas

Folding your electric blanket can cause damage. Always roll it for storage, and check

Fireplaces and chimneys:

for any damage before use.

Test your electric blanket before use by laying it on top of your bed, feeling the internal wires for any abnormalities and inspecting cords/controls for damage. Turn it on for 5 minutes and then feel for any uneven hot spots. If you notice any of the above the electric blanket should be replaced.

Electric blankets are not designed to be used while sleeping. Consider adding additional bedding to keep warm if needed while sleeping.

Wheat bags:

Wheat bags can help pain, but they also have the potential to cause burns and fi re if not used properly.

Check your wheat bags for signs of wear and tear or scorching. Replace if needed.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when heating, using and storing.

Wheat bags can easily ignite or burn if overheated and need to completely cool on a non-combustible surface before storing. They are only designed to be applied directly to the body and should never be used in bed or while sleeping.

How St John’s Primary celebrated Catholic Schools Week and Mother’s Day Contributed by KERRIE KERIN A HUGE thank you to all the parents, grandparents and friends who visited the school last week to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Our school, along with the 18 other Catholic schools in the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes, celebrated Catholic Schools Week.

The theme for this year’s celebrations was ‘Finding God in Everyday Life’. God can be found in everyone, in every place and in everything. When we approach each day with this in mind, we live with more gratitude and reverence, and through this we become more devoted to our creator.

“I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place only. No one can hide where I cannot see them. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on

earth?”

Jeremiah 23:23-24.

As a Catholic school, we are called to do more than just pass on the faith: we are invited to translate our faith into deeds so we are truly living God’s Word.

Catholic Schools Week provided us with the opportunity to celebrate our distinctive mission and share things that are special about our school and ethos with families, parish and the wider community.

We are immensely proud of our Catholic dimension, and are committed to celebrating and showcasing the achievements of our school.

We are extremely lucky to have a whole classroom devoted to the teaching and learning of Religious Education.

We also held our cross country, open classrooms, morning tea and assembly as part of our celebrations.

Ready to go at the cross country.

Swans defend cup, Jets soar and Terriers bite!

Contributed by BRYSON LUFF THE Dunedoo Swans broke through for their fi rst victory of the 2022 season in round four of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition when they managed to see off the Baradine Magpies in their Boronia Cup Challenge game played at Dunedoo on Saturday.

This was the Swans’ fi rst home game for the year, and they did not disappoint their large band of loyal supporters when they managed an 18 to 6 win over the visitors on a heavy Robertson Oval track.

Scoring three tries to one, the green and whites followed on from their promising display against the Gilgandra Panthers the week before and gave an indication that they are not in the competition just to make up the numbers.

As has been the norm between the Swannettes and the Magpies in recent years the League Tag encounter between the two clubs was again an absolute thriller and topclass affair with the Swannettes scoring after the final hooter to claim a 18 to 16 victory.

At Gulgong, the Terriers proved to be too strong for the Gilgandra Panthers, taking the game 18 points to six after leading 12 nil at the break.

The Panthers could offer no excuses for the loss, having had the bulk of the possession in good field position for a lengthy portion of the fi rst half but failing to grasp the opportunities presented to them by taking bad options in attack.

It must be said that the deserved Gulgong victory was very much on the back of stout defensive effort throughout the encounter.

Their fullback Ethan Pegus scored two of his teams three tries but it was his sublime handling skills in very slippery conditions that won him accolades, after he repeatedly cleaned up the many

grubber kicks sent his way by the Panthers and along with their lock, James Morrison, he stood out for the victors!

The Narromine Jets continued their fi ne start to the season when they managed to stave off the Coonamble Bears in their top of the table clash played at the Jet’s Cale Oval.

The Bears held an 8-nil lead after 18 minutes, having scored two unconverted tries and it wasn’t until eight minutes before the break that the Jets were able to breach the Coonamble defence and with the try converted the score board read 8 points to 6 in favour of the visitors at half time.

The lead soon changed after the resumption of play with the Jets going in for a converted try just two minutes into the second half.

The game moved from end to end, with both teams losing the ball just short of the line before a further Jets try secured them an 18 to 8 lead with 26 minutes remaining.

The game looked as if it was reasonably safe in the Jets’ keeping until, with 15 minutes remaining, their lock was initially sin-binned for advising the referee of the error of his ways.

Further advice from the player was not well received by the match official and the number 13 was subsequently informed that his participation on the fi xture was hereby terminated and the Jets were down to 12 men on the field for the remainder of the game.

Three minutes after his departure a dazzling attacking raid by the Bears saw them go in for a converted try and with the scoreboard reading 18 to 14 it was game on!

Soon after the Jets opted for a shot at goal after being awarded a penalty in a handy position and when that was duly slotted, they clung to a six-point lead with nine minutes remaining.

The Bears were not going to

die wondering, and the prospect of them salvaging at least a draw was well and truly on the cards as they constantly attacked the Narromine line, but the Jets scrambled in defence to hold on for a hardfought victory which sees them now alone at the top of the competition ladder.

The Jets will be out to maintain their high ranking when they take their fi rst trip to Baradine this Saturday, with the Magpies and their vocal supporters certain to give them a warm welcome to Maggieland.

In other games this week there will be a western battle of the feathers at Cobar when the Roosters host the Dunedoo Swans at Tom Knight Oval and in the match of the round the Coonamble Bears will be at home to the Gulgong Bull Terriers.

Narromine bowls news: Triples teams to do battle, but when...?

Contributed by RICK BOHM

JUST a very brief column this week as I am operating without a net here in downtown Melbourne.

We played a couple of triples championship matches on Saturday and at day’s end we have finalists for this event.

The two teams left standing are Ricardo Stanford, Mark Hilder and Robbie Stanford, who will do battle with Bruce Maher, Phil Harding and Adam Jermyn.

Exactly when, I’m not sure. With Robbie involved in both the pairs and triples, I’m not sure which match will be played this Saturday. But rest assured, window tappers, there will be some action to view this coming Saturday afternoon.

Social Bowls was again restricted to

Sunday morning, with once again the inclement weather putting a damper on any play Thursday. So Sunday dawned and with Mother Nature’s co-operation we got a morning of social bowls underway.

Richard Hyde and James Daley were declared the day’s winners and took home all the loot on offer.

Our ladies hosted a successful Sungai Day last Tuesday with some 12 teams having a lovely day out.

My spy on site gave me the results of the day. Seems the Dubbo City ladies took home all the trophies, running fi rst and second at day’s end.

Well that’s it for another week. Almost got the round in the footy tipping comp, but not surprisingly missed one result.

Thanks for nuffin’, Dragons.

Gilgandra hosts Parkes Cup following heavy rainfall

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES ALREADY regarded as an outstanding trainer, Michael Mulholland from Wellington further enhanced his reputation with a winning treble which included Foodie King in the feature event on Sunday.

Gilgandra Jockey Club hosted the meeting due to a waterlogged track at Parkes and Serg Lisnyy made the most of his trip from Wyong to ride the three winners, Cheptegei, Foodie King, and Radegast for Mulholland.

Foodie King ($2.80, favourite) had a nice run behind the leader Milamoo before hitting the front to win the 1400 metres Parkes Services Club Parkes Cup by a long neck from Weather Channel (Ron-

ald Simpson, 4.20) with Milamoo (Michael Heagney, $5) battling on for third.

Earlier, Cheptegei (Serg Lisnyy) landed a $14 to $3.90 favourite betting plunge when coming with a late rush to beat The Pres (Amira Kajiya, $4.60) and Harley Fat Boy (James Rogers, $20) in a very close fi nish to the 1600 metres class two handicap.

Completing the Mulholland/ Lisnyy treble, Radegast ($10 to $8) from well back flashed home to win the 1200 metres benchmark 58 handicap in a three-way photo fi nish from the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes-trained pair Zoey Lass (Andrew Banks, $41) and Jin Chi Phantom (Tiffany Jeffries, $14).

A great ride by local apprentice Zara Lewis played an important role in the Bryan Dixon, Gilgandra-trained Ecker Road beating a field of smart sprinters in the 1200 metres Telescope Tyres and Batteries satellite handicap.

Parked behind the leaders, Ecker Road ($4.20) secured a rail’s run to dart clear for a convincing win over Jailbreak (Ronald Simpson, $3.40 favourite) and Rogue Runner (Elissa Meredith, $14).

Bryan Dixon also won the 1000 metres Hankook Tyres benchmark 58 handicap with the well performed mare Rebecca’s Quest (Jake Barrett, $14) which from the back of the field stormed home to beat Extra Flash (Jake Pracey-Holm-

es, $6) by a nose with No Debt (Clayton Gallagher, $2.60 favourite) a short neck away third.

The 1000 metres maiden handicap was delayed when apprentice Ashleigh Stanley received treatment after being struck in the face by her mount Arctic Rover in the mounting yard.

Patched up by the ambulance officers, Ashleigh Stanley bravely climbed back in the saddle and led all the way on the Dean Mirfi n, Bathurst trained Arctic Rover ($21) to beat Rhythmic Song (Jackson Searle, $3.70) and the Victorian visitor Riverside Special (Michael Heagney, $2.30 favourite).

Dean Mirfi n then won the

following race with Astrolith (Tony Cavallo, $1.85 favourite) which overcame an outside barrier to race near the lead and score a photo fi nish win over Zoisite (James Rogers, $26) and Stunning Sunrise (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $10) in the 1000 metres Bugman maiden handicap.

The other races were won by the Clint Lundholm trained Starlink (Elissa Meredith, $3.50) and the Brett Robb trained Morgenstern (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $5).

Gilgandra is rated the best wet weather track in the region and with so many abandonments around the state it was good to see the Gilgandra Jockey Club stage the meeting at such short notice.

More rain interferes with weekly golf competitions Contributed by KALE BOCK AND NORM LEWIS ONCE again we had some cancellations to the weekly golf competitions. Upwards of 40 mm of rain fell over the course mid-week causing the cancellation of the ladies’ Wednesday comp and the Gerries Wednesday afternoon comp.

The rain cleared later in the week, allowing the weekend’s programmed events to go ahead. Major event was the annual Men’s 2022 4 BBB Club Championship to be played over 36 holes over two days.

The handicap event went to Greg Barling and Greg Kearines with scores of 38/42, total 80 points.

Runners up were Duanne Mann and Alec Williams with 37/42, total 79 points.

Trophies for this major event and others will be presented at a major presentation night later in the year.

The Saturday event went to Tony Harding and Steve Gillette with 41 points on a count back from Kale Bock and A. Davis, also on 41.

The NTP on the ninth went to Tony Harding, and no winner on the tenth while the long drive went to M. Smith on the fi rst hole.

The Sunday event went to Greg Barling and Greg Kearines from Alex Williams and Duanne Mann.

The NTP on Sunday was won by Rob Williams on the ninth and Duanne Mann on the tenth and the long drive on the fi rst went to Tony Harding. The jackpot hole on Sunday was the 17th with no winner.

On Saturday, May 21, there will be an 18-hole stableford and on Sunday May 22, an 18-hole par event.

A reminder to all members the Annual Narromine Open Tournament over 27 holes will be played on May 29. This is our biggest tournament of the year and we are expecting a large field in attendance.

There appears to be a clash between our junior golf clinic and a junior rugby league comp on Sunday.

Please contact Kale Bock for alternative arrangements for the junior golf clinic.

The Dubbo Veterans’ Open Tournament will be played on Friday, May 20.

The monthly Veterans’ nine-hole competition will be played on Saturday, May 21, in conjunction with the club’s 18-hole competition.

The Gerries’ nine-hole competition is played each Wednesday afternoon with the hit off at 3.00 pm, weather permitting.

That’s it for another week. Congratulations to the 4 BBB Club Championship winners. Hope to see you all at the 19th, where Kane will be happy to serve you with a “coldie”.

Trangie gymkhana a great success

By SHARON BONTHUYS ON Sunday, 8 May, 100 riders gathered at the Trangie showgrounds for the Gymkhana and Stockman’s Dressage.

Hosted by the Trangie Pony Club, the Mother’s Day event brought teams and supporters from Trangie, Nyngan, Warren, Narromine, Wellington, Dubbo, and Rawsonville, said club spokesperson, Jo Milgate.

“It was one of the biggest gymkhanas I have seen in our zone for a long time,” she said.

Individual events were staged across three rings as hors-

es and their riders – the youngest needing help from parents and carers in ‘led’ events – participated in the competition.

Four-year-old Perri Boland from Trangie Pony Club won two ribbons during the morning events, competing on her new pony Popcorn. Perri was all smiles but very shy when she posed for our photo.

Her proud Pop, Stuart Boland, told the Narromine Star that the quiet achiever had enjoyed the event and hoped to win some more ribbons before the day ended.

“It was a great day for Trangie Pony Club,” Ms Milgate said.

This mum deserves a ribbon for all the hard work in the junior ‘led’ events.
