Remembering a son of Narromine PAGE 4 Controversial camping development passed despite objections

By SHARON BONTHUYS A CONTROVERSIAL development application (DA) to establish a “primitive camping” facility just outside Narromine was passed at the council meeting on June 22 despite multiple objections being lodged.

Approximately 20 people attended a public forum before the Narromine Shire Council meeting where three people objecting to the proposal, as well as the applicants, addressed elected members. Concerns had been expressed to the council about the development application which sought to establish a second land use – a primitive campground – on the Sun River property which maintains an intensive agricultural enterprise.

A detailed 25-page report on the DA by the director of community and economic development, Phil Johnston, was tabled for a decision at the council meeting on June 22.

The report shows the DA was fi rst submitted on July 8, 2021, seeking to “operate a caravan park or camping ground.”

According to the report, neighbours were notified and the application was made available via the NSW Planning Portal from July 23 to August 6, 2021. Council sought further information from the applicant between September and November 2021 on issues including lack of campground amenities, fi re risk, environmental impact on agriculture and farming, security, unleashed Continued page 5

No future without a doctor ■ Mayor addresses public meeting

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE mayor’s message to Trangie residents last week was simple: Trangie has no future without a doctor.

The hastily organised public meeting on June 23 was well attended as Trangie residents gathered to hear the mayor, Cr Craig Davies, give an update on the town’s doctor crisis.

Organised by Terrie Milgate, the locals rallied and the Trangie Bowling Club was packed as the mayor addressed the town’s most pressing issue.

Cr Davies said he had been involved in the contract negotiations to retain the current doctor, Ashraf Labib, for about three years. He would not speak to the specifics of Dr Labib’s contract, having given an undertaking to NSW regional health minister Bronnie Taylor not to make public comments in that regard.

However, he did state that Dr Labib was on an above-award contract.

“Up until this point in time, everything’s gone well. [Ash’s] been out here for 22 years and has served our community for all that time,” Cr Davies said. “He’s stayed on [despite a marriage breakdown]. That’s the commitment this guy has given us.”

With the doctor’s current contract due to expire on June 30, negotiations for a new con-

tract started earlier this year.

Cr Davies provided support to Dr Labib in that process, he said. He advised the doctor to wait until he received his contract, which Dr Labib did. In late May, Dr Labib had advised Cr Davies that he had verbally accepted a contract. However, the contract subsequently sent to Dr Labib by the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) did not resemble the one he’d agreed to, Cr Davies said.

“This is where it all fell

over. Trust went out the door.

“I’ve made numerous representations to Dugald Saunders and minister Bronnie Taylor,” the mayor said, indicating he had sent two emails to the minister.

“The fi rst [email] was a fairly descriptive submission of all the reasons why we need Ash in our town – not another doctor. I don’t think I left any stone unturned and I don’t think mine was a softly-softly approach.

“I explained about all the

businesses in town that would suffer, the potential to lose our chemist, the way other businesses would suffer, and how [the doctor leaving] would devastate a small community.”

Two meetings were held in Dubbo on June 17 with senior members of the WNSWLHD executive, including one via Zoom, stating the case for Dr Labib to stay on in Trangie, he said.

From page 1 “They told me it had to go to the Minister,” Cr Davies said.

The following day, the member for Dubbo and minister Taylor called Cr Davies. “They said they would look at [my submission] as a matter of urgency. They asked me not to make specific reference to Ash’s contract as negotiations were still taking place. That was a fair request and I agreed with that.”

Cr Davies said he was contacted by minister Taylor on the evening of June 22, who assured him that Dr Labib was again negotiating with the CEO of WNSWLHD and it was believed “a successful outcome to the negotiations would be imminent.”

Cr Davies said there was not much more he could do at that stage, but he was aware that community members had been calling and emailing their views to the member for Dubbo. The mayor encouraged community members to continue with this campaign as the next state election is approaching and elected officials will be listening.

“We are a community who cares about what happens in our town and the future of our town. We don’t have a future without a doctor,” he said.

“It’s only through your interactions with those people that we’re going to get the right outcomes,” he said.

Community members at the meeting asked many valid questions and the mayor did his best to answer them.

Cr Davies clarified that WNSWLHD pays the doctor’s salary and entitlements, and that Dr Labib does want to stay in

Trangie.

Resident Paul Gartside said he has contacted the member for Dubbo several times on this issue.

“I stressed the point that [WNSWLD] are looking at this as a purely dollars and cents issue whereas us as a community see it as anything but [that],” he told the meeting.

“It just needs to be hammered home by all of us through repeated emails and phone calls that this is not a dollars and cents issue,” he said.

Mr Gartside, who runs the Trangie Caravan Park, confi rmed that businesses like his and others including the pharmacy run

by Colin Best were attracted to the town because of the continuity of health services.

“I’ve come to town and Colin has come to town because of the health services.

“There are some long term health issues in my family that have to be monitored on a day to day basis and I can’t do that with a fortnightly appointment in Dubbo,” Mr Gartside said.

Cr Davies said he had reminded the minister and the member for Dubbo that Trangie has one centenarian and 14 residents aged in their nineties, some of whom make up the 18 elderly residents living permanently at the hospital.

“We simply can’t do without a doctor. Ash knows everyone in town and their health history,” Cr Davies said. “If you get a locum here, they start from scratch. Yes, they’ve got a medical history but it’s not the same.”

Mr Gartside asked if this situation was going to arise again next year and the mayor said he had requested a five-year con-

tract to provide certainty for all parties involved.

Trangie residents expressed concern about not having general practitioner (GP) services given the existing difficulty of accessing doctors in Narromine and Dubbo.

“Where do we go?” a resident asked. Cr Davies said he had also asked the question.

A young mother praised the shared care she had received through Dr Labib during her pregnancy. “It was so beneficial for me not to have to go to Dubbo to see a midwife.

Or if something happened during the night with the baby that Ash could actually help and we would not have to go to Dubbo. He is here for the community, not the money.”

Residents also talked about signing a petition and this may yet eventuate.

The highly qualified Dr Labib holds a bachelor of medicine/bachelor of surgery from Cairo University, Egypt, and an AMC (Australian Medical Council) certificate according to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). AHPRA is the professional body responsible for implementing the national registration and accreditation scheme across Australia for the health workforce.

“He is a very well credentialed doctor,” Cr Davies said.

Cr Davies was critical of the recent NSW government announcement earmarking $883 million towards attracting and retaining health staff which listed a range of health workers but not specifically doctors.

The mayor confi rmed that Dr Labib’s contract had been extended beyond

June 30 for approximately six weeks. He also said local residents had reminded council that a promise had been made before the new millennium that the town would always have a doctor.

“Craig Knowles was here as the Labor health minister in [the late 1990s] for the opening of the MPHS, along with Jillian Skinner who was the opposition spokesperson for Health. They both decreed that Trangie would never be without a doctor, because we had a period where we didn’t have a doctor. [On June 21, I emailed minister Taylor] and reminded her of that,” Cr Davies said.

“I am quietly confident [WNSWLHD and Dr Labib] will come to an agreement,” he said. “I think they recognise the political imperative of them doing the right thing by this community.”

Snapshot of views from public meeting attendees after the meeting: z “We have to have tests periodically so we can continue to drive. The doctor has to know you for two years so this can happen, we were told by Service NSW. What happens if we lose our doctor?” Barry and Glenda Lee, aged 78 and 77. z “I am concerned for the community, and I feel very valued.” Colin Best, pharmacist, who was spoken of highly during the public meeting. z “I can’t understand why [the government] is doing this. We have a major highway here and need a doctor 24/7. There have been some bad road accidents here in the past.” Jack James, resident of 35 years.

The Flying Padre pays a flying visit to Narromine

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Flying Padre paid a flying visit to Narromine last week but his vehicle of choice didn’t have wings. It had four wheels and a spare.

Pastor David Shrimpton is the face behind the Broken Hill Flying Patrol, a joint project funded by donations and support from various branches of the Uniting Church and Uniting Care.

He normally travels about in his single-engine 1974 Cessna 182 but visited Narromine in his trusty 4WD on this occasion.

Padre David joined Narromine Uniting Church parishioners for worship on June 26, where he delivered a service and communion.

During the service, Padre David told the congregation about his work and how he engaged children during his flying visits to remote communities and stations across the 200,000 kilometres that is his “patch”.

Based in Broken Hill, the Flying Padre services an area stretching north and south to the borders of Queensland and Victoria, 200 kilometres west into South Australia, and east to Emmadale Roadhouse and Ivanhoe.

“Teachers have told me that the kids are better settled after my visits,” he told the Narromine Star, saying he loved kicking a ball around with the kids after his services.

Padre David conducts all religious services including baptisms, weddings and funerals during his travels.

Licensed to fly since 2002, Padre David has logged over 4000 flying hours. Prior to becoming the Flying Padre for

Padre David leads the service at the Uniting Church on June 26. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. Far West NSW at Broken Hill, he was Flying Padre in the Northern Territory and Western Australia for 11 years. He is also a Police Chaplain for Barrier Command in NSW. Narromine parishioners enjoyed Padre David’s visit and his interactive church service. Following his visit, Padre David left for Cobar where he had some work to do with local churches. He also aimed to visit a family near Wilcannia for whom he had conducted a baptism, before returning home to Broken Hill and his wife of more than two decades, Jennie.

Loving his job and the many places it takes him, Padre David has no plans to retire just yet.

“I will carry on for as long as I can continue to pass the medicals [needed] to fly,” he said.

Remembering a son of Narromine: 80 years since the sinking of the Montevideo Maru

By SHARON BONTHUYS A SON of Narromine will be among those remembered at a memorial service and dinner to be held in Canberra this week, 80 years after he and 1052 other souls died in the worst maritime disaster involving Australians.

Private William Leslie Everingham, 23, was one of more than 800 Australian Prisoners of War (POW) on board the Japanese auxiliary vessel, the MV Montevideo Maru, which was torpedoed by the United States Navy and sank into a trench near The Philippines on July 1, 1942.

In addition, 208 civilian prisoners from Rabaul, New Guinea, also died in the sinking, as well as some of the 88 Japanese military personnel in charge of the vessel.

The loss of these lives during the Second World War continues to be remembered by Australians and Papuans alike.

The Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Association will hold a special memorial service and dinner to commemorate 80 years since the sinking of the vessel in Canberra tomorrow.

Attendees are expected to come from Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, NSW and the ACT, said Patrick Bourke, a relative of Private Lloyd Sibraa who served with Private Everingham and also died in the 1942 incident.

Both Private Everingham and Private Sibraa were members of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) 1st Independent Company, Australian Infantry. This unit was one of twelve commando companies that saw service in the Second World War. Some 133 commandos from that unit were aboard the Montevideo Maru as POWs when it sank. Members of the Australian 2/22nd Battalion were also aboard, the Australian War Memorial (AWM) website states.

The son of Arthur and Ann

Everingham of Narromine, William “Bill” Everingham was born and raised in the town.

“In June 1941, Private Everingham was farewelled at the Narromine Town Hall by the Mayor, Alderman M. V. Duffy, family and friends as he was leaving for overseas military service with the 1st Independent Company,” Mr Bourke told the Narromine Star.

“The mayor presented William with a pen and pencil and two pairs of socks from the Women’s Voluntary Services.”

Mr Bourke said that Japanese POW records state that Private Everingham was captured at Kavieng.

The AWM website reports that the Montevideo Maru left New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago in what is now Papua New Guinea, on June 22, 1942 bound for Hainan Island with its cargo of Australian POWs and civilian prisoners. Unaware that POWs were aboard, the USS Sturgeon submarine torpedoed the vessel in the early hours of the morning of July 1, 1942. It took just 11 minutes for the Montevideo Maru to sink.

Private Everingham’s death was reported in the Narromine News and Trangie Advocate more than three years later on October 23, 1945. The item suggests Private Everingham’s family knew he had been reported missing and was possibly a POW. We can only imagine their pain at receiving a formal communication from the Army to say their son was presumed to have died in the Montevideo Maru disaster in 1942.

Private Sibraa had links to the central west, with relatives in Dubbo and Wellington whom he visited with his mother, Mabel Bourke. He worked on a station in the Fords Bridge area, north-west of Bourke, prior to enlisting in the Australian Army, Mr Bourke said.

Mr Bourke will attend the commemorations in Canberra

The President of the Narromine Sub-branch of the Returned and Services League (RSL), David Taylor, said that the tragic event was a reminder that mistakes, no matter how innocently made, can have devastating impacts.

“With the 80th anniversary this year of the sinking of Montevideo Maru on July 1, 1942, by an American submarine whose commander was unaware that Allied servicemen and civilians were aboard, we are reminded of the catastrophic and tragic effects on the countries and communities that are involved in war,” Mr Taylor said.

“Particularly poignant for our community is the knowledge that a young man from Narromine, William Evering-

Russell Everingham funerals

ham, was one of those lost.

“It is also a reminder that mistakes, arising from even the best of motives, are almost unavoidable, and as we see here, can have devastating results. If we can learn anything from this disaster, let it be at least that our actions will always affect someone else, even those we don’t know about,” he said.

The fi nal resting place of the Montevideo Maru and those who went down with her remains unknown. In 2012, a sculpture by James Parrett in the grounds of the AWM was dedicated to those involved in the defence of Rabaul and the victims of the Montevideo Maru disaster.

Currently in storage while extensions are being carried out at the AWM, the memorial will be reinstated at another location on site in due Notice in the Narromine News course, Mr Bourke said. and Trangie Advocate, October Lest we forget.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, June 30, 2022

Controversial camping development passed despite objections From page 1 dogs, road access, camper safety, pollution, loss of amenity for rural residents, development in a flood zone, and Aboriginal heritage, among others.

The applicants duly provided responses to those questions.

The proposed location of the primitive campground is on Warren Road. Key aspects of the proposal in its current form include up to 36 campsites in two locations for a maximum of 100 campers, no showers, and the provision of just two toilets, one in each camping area. Operating 24-hours a day, seven-days a week, the facility would be managed by an onsite manager living in a supplied dwelling. Water would be supplied through a bore.

The extensive report looks at a range of statutory and environmental planning considerations and references the multiple objections to the proposal.

Three people objecting to the development application spoke at the public forum on June 22.

Michael Bennett, who lives on a neighbouring property, had three main concerns: waste management, fi re management, and falling limbs.

“I don’t believe council has properly addressed the issue of waste management. [The DA] doesn’t mention how the [toilet] waste is going to be handled and what happens to it in the end. “When it was fi rst proposed, there was going to be 400 people there which would be a lot of waste. If you reduce that to 100 people, it’s still a lot of waste.”

Mr Bennett also expressed concern about fi re management. “It’s not [clear] about how [campfi res] will be managed. Where does the timber come from? Will they make sure that fi res are put out after guests leave? It’s a major problem for us.”

Falling limbs from trees, particularly redgums, was also a critical issue, Mr Bennett said.

“There was a major windstorm in December 2020 and in our area the limbs kept falling for about two months. The people staying in this primitive camping need to be made aware of this risk. I’m sure there will be people who think they can camp amongst [the trees]. I would suggest they need some induction about the risk of camping in these sites,” Mr Bennett said.

Neighbour Scott Vincent told council almost 20,000 acres are farmed in the area surrounding the proposed primitive campground between three of the families objecting to the development.

Their combined farming efforts bring about $20 million

The proposed site of the new development on Warren Road. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. into the shire, he said.

“Our land is zoned rural for a reason. You’re talking about turning some of this prime agricultural land into a camping ground.

“It’s our job as farmers to manage the riverbank. [Many of us] have fenced off our riverbank and do not allow stock [on it]. The biodiversity of our river is very protected,” he said.

Mr Vincent reminded the council that the Macquarie River is the habitat of the eeltailed catfish, populations of which have declined since the 1970s and is considered a threatened species.

“The only breeding grounds [this catfish] has are between Gin Gin and Narromine. It is an endangered species.”

Mr Vincent said there were already three camping reserves within a few kilometres of the proposed site. “Do we really need another site?”

The location of the campground was also an issue. “It’s on the low side of the river. All that ground goes underwater,” he said.

Debbie Browning’s property also adjoins the proposed development and her family were very concerned about the environmental impact to the riverbank from the presence of campers.

“We’re concerned about traffic movements back and forth and what that will do to Warren Road. There is [also] a powerline in the very bottom block [that provides] all the power to and cross the river. If there is any damage to that powerline that will impact [landholders

in the area].

“Are pets allowed to come?

Are they going to be restrained? We all have stock and don’t want any loss of stock,” she said.

The fi nal speaker at the public forum was one of the DA applicants, Shannon Webb. “We are only too happy to listen to and work with our neighbours and the community to address any potential concerns that may arise from the Sun River campground.”

Ms Webb said the primitive campground proposal offered something unique, different, relaxing, enjoyable, and family friendly. “Our campground is not a proposal to take business away from existing accommodation facilities, but rather, offer an alternative.

“As we are well aware, there have been concerns raised over the last few months based around the proposed campground,” Ms Webb said, confi rming that agriculture and livestock production on the Sun River property will remain their priority.

“Being farmers, we completely understand the importance of biosecurity and

bushfi re risk mitigation. We are very passionate about the delicate river ecosystem and sustainability regarding fish numbers.”

She also indicated that the campground will not become operational until they have engaged a full-time onsite manager who will help manage camper behaviour.

Ms Webb said she and her partner acknowledged the objections to the proposal and indicated the tabled submission had considered the applicants’ solutions to the issues identified.

“Care will be taken to maintain the existing tree corridor along the river as well as our expansive sandy beach which makes Sun River an absolute sanctuary. We aim to be extremely vigilant with any possible complication that may arise from the primitive campsite, and again, are only too happy to work with our neighbours, friends and community to resolve any matters.”

At the council meeting that followed the public forum, attended by the gallery of observers, this matter was brought forward in the agenda

for discussion.

“We believe on balance that the recommendation is the right way to go and we also point out that there are certainly some preconditions that have to be met before it can go ahead,” said Mr Johnston.

Cr Les Lambert moved a complex motion to approve the development application subject to the stated conditions, and it was seconded by Cr Dianne Beaumont.

Cr Lambert said he was pleased to hear the speakers in the public forum talk about the health of the river, the environment and waste concerns.

“It’s great to think that we, as a forum for the community, hear from the community their concerns as well,” he said, suggesting that many of the community concerns had been addressed. He also thought the proposed development “is something possibly unique to this area that may create another tourist attraction”.

The only other councillor who spoke on the issue was Cr Lachlan Roberts, who expressed concern about how visitors may perceive potential spray drift from nearby properties.

“There are going to be moments at the campground where they can smell chemicals,” he said, indicating local farmers may receive complaints about this from visitors. “I do fear for the local farmers in that area because they will have a lot more scrutiny around them. But at the same time I think it’s a great thing for the community.”

At the vote that followed, only Cr Roberts voted against the proposal which was subsequently passed by majority vote.

Cr Craig Davies told those gathered that the proposal would proceed, as being in the best interests of the shire, and he thanked them for attending.

Most of those in the gallery departed after the decision was announced, and some were still outside at the conclusion of the council meeting, bitterly disappointed at the outcome.

The Narromine Star will continue to follow the issue and hopes to speak with impacted landholders and the developers for a follow up story in the near future.

What is “primitive camping”?

This is the term used to describe camping without the “creature comforts” that are found in many modern campgrounds, such as flushable toilets and showers. In some locations, primitive campgrounds may also not have access to electricity, wifi or mobile reception or potable water.

The public forum preceded the council meeting on June 22.

Hymnfest: music for the soul

The audience sings during the event.

By SHARON BONTHUYS SINGERS and instrumental groups from the central west provided a wonderful afternoon of spiritual singing and music at Hymnfest 2022 in Narromine.

Held at the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church on June 19, Hymnfest brought together three choirs and two instrumental groups who took turns performing sets of hymns.

The event opened with prelude music by Narromine SDA musicians, followed by a welcome and prayer by SDA Pas-

SDA’s instrumental group.

tor Tharren Hutchinson.

The Narromine SDA choir took to the stage to sing “Think About His Love”, and were followed by the combined Sing Australia contingent featuring singers from Narromine, Trangie and Dubbo.

They performed “Abide With Me” and “Make Me A Channel” accompanied by SDA pianist Leanne Heckendorf.

The University of the Third Age (U3A) Recorder Ensemble gave a beautiful rendition of “How Deep the Father’s Love” followed by a medley of “Steal Away” and “Peace Like

A River.”

The Palmer Street Singers from Dubbo wowed everyone with their acapella (without music) renditions of “Santo, Santo, Santo”, “The Chorus of Jewish Slaves” and “Bring Me Home.”

Congregational songs enabled the audience to sing as one “Power of Your Love” and “How Deep the Father’s Love For Us”.

The SDA took up a collection in support of the Bible Society during the event, raising $554.40.

Each participating group

Narromine’s SDA Church Choir. performed several times through the afternoon. Popular hymns such as the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” by the Palmer Street Singers and “Pearly Gates” by the Sing Australia contingent enticed the audience to clap and sing along.

The event was followed by afternoon tea in the church hall.

Margaret Wood told the Narromine Star that Hymnfest fi rst started in Dubbo but eventually found its home in Narromine where the groups gather each year to perform.

New addition to the Narromine Star team

By TIM COOPER

AFTER living in Newcastle for the last 13 years, I’ve returned home to the central west area to my roots and have just started working at the Narromine Star in the role of sales consultant.

I have a strong connection with the community, knowing many local families and businesses across the region. I may even know some of you reading this.

Having lived all around Australia (Dubbo, Ballina, Bathurst, Cairns, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle) and being overseas in multiple countries, predominately in Greece for several years, I have honed my skills in sales, communication and administration.

Employed in these roles as well as hospitality, event management, and health industries for almost 25 years, before coming to Narromine I was sales, administration and operations manager for an event business in Newcastle for two years.

I have also worked in network building, marketing, advertising and event management in Newcastle, cre-

ating individual advertising and marketing plans for local small businesses.

Experienced with grants, I’ve been able to get local government grants for projects in and around NSW including Newcastle’s Nobbys Lighthouse, Surf Life Saving NSW, and major events such as Winter Heat, City Light Up, Night Time Fiesta, Tram Line Launch. Got a question about grants?

Let’s chat.

Growing up in Dubbo, I taught swimming for over four years. Being an active member of the swimming, athletics, basketball, tennis, squash, volleyball and netball communities meant I was able to immerse myself in the “local life”.

After travelling for most of my life, I have found the need to get “back home”.

Now I am here, I want to see this community thrive.

Seeing the progress with fresh eyes, all I can say is, “it’s amazing.”

I love the town and the fact that everyone knows each other and wants to help each other.

I look forward to meeting businesses in the Narromine Shire in my new role.

Tim Cooper has joined the Narromine Star team. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

Leanne Heckendorf, who accompanied several of the choirs on the piano, said that preparations for the event usually begin a couple of months out each year as groups select their hymns and practice together.

“It’s been really lovely this afternoon. It’s great when all the singers can come together like this,” Ms Heckendorf said.

As one of the participants said, “singing songs together lifts us higher. We feel happy.”

There were certainly many happy faces at the conclusion of Hymnfest 2022.

Rex better at running on time

By STEPH ALLEN REX Airlines says it has flown ahead of the competition, with the latest official Federal Government figures revealing the airline has the best on-time performance of any Australian airline.

The ASX-listed airline, which fl ies Dubbo, Parkes and Orange residents to Sydney, has also recorded the lowest fl ight cancellation rate at 1.4 per cent, compared to Qantas’ rate of 7.6 per cent in May. Overall, 78.5 per cent of all Rex fl ights, both domestic and regional, departed on time, with Qantas fl ights departing on time at a rate of 61.5 per cent.

Rex fl ights recorded 89.7 per cent of fl ights on the airline’s domestic network departing on time, while Qantas recorded a lower On Time Departure (OTD) rate of 62.7 per cent.

Regional operations also showed a contrast, with Qantas’ 60.7 per cent compared to Rex’s 76.9 per cent.

On June 24, it was also revealed that Rex had signed multiple agreements with major travel agency groups.

As part of the agreements, Rex signed a 10-year agreement with Flight Centre, ensuring that Rex will be Flight Centre’s partner of choice over the next decade.

NVRA’s Julie Townsend is Tops

By SHARON BONTHUYS IT’S official! Julie Townsend from Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) NSW Narromine has been named as one of NSW’s top 28 emergency service workers.

The announcement was made during a ceremony at Parliament House on June 22 to reveal the fi nalists of the 2022 Rotary Clubs and Districts of NSW Emergency Services Community Awards.

A very humble Ms Townsend was still processing the news when she spoke to the Narromine Star last week.

“I didn’t know I’d been nominated,” she said. “What I do with the squad is quite minimal compared to what they do, that’s what I feel about it.”

Ms Townsend is the Treasurer for the Narromine VRA unit. “I’m simply the Treasurer who keeps the fi nances running. [The others do training] and a lot more than me. I also help with fundraising.”

While she may not think that her contribution is significant, Narromine Rotary Club spokesperson Jack Cooper said the behind the scenes work in volunteer organisations is very important.

“Like many volunteer organisations these days, there is just as much time spent on paperwork as the specific duties the organisation was set up [to carry out],” Mr Cooper

said.

“Without the people who perform those behind the scenes jobs, the organisation would not exist.”

Rotary’s Emergency Services Community Awards grew from an annual event started by clubs in the Illawarra in 2010 to recognise unwavering commitment to community safety, said Dorothy Hennessy OAM from the Rotary Club of Wollongong.

“More than a decade later and we are recognising the work across the state from the widest range of locations than ever before, whether it be a disaster, fi re or accident. The finalists have years of combined service and I thank them all for their incredible contributions, Ms Hennessy said.

As part of her volunteer work Julie has occasionally dressed as the unit mascot, Tyson. Here she is at the 2019 Narromine Show.

“It’s really nice that [my unit] thinks so highly of what I do,” Ms Townsend said. “I’m a little overwhelmed [at all the attention].”

Anthony McEachern, Captain/Senior Training Officer with VRA Rescue NSW Narromine, was pleased to acknowledge Ms Townsend’s success.

Finalists for the annual Rotary awards have been selected from a range of emergency service agencies in NSW including Fire and Rescue, Marine Rescue, Ambulance, Rural Fire Service, State

Julie receiving her 10-year service medal in December 2021.

Emergency Service, Surf Life Saving and VRA Rescue.

Winners will be announced at a presentation evening at Bankstown Sports Club on August 13.

Ms Townsend is looking forward to attending the awards ceremony with her husband.

“It’s very beautiful and humbling to know I’m part of something with a lot of other people who do so much for our community and the state in general,” she said.

Well done, Julie Townsend.

The whole of Narromine Shire thanks you for your service.

Solving on-farm problems with ag tech at LLS event HUNDREDS of central west farmers and ag industry professionals caught up on current and future agricultural technologies at the Big Tech Big Ideas field day and conference last week.

Held in Trangie and Dubbo, the two-day event funded by the National Landcare Program and supported by Central West Local Land Services (LLS) presented everything from walk-over-weighing of livestock to remote water monitoring, satellite pasture mapping, precision spraying, soil moisture monitoring and linking various data systems together.

Big Ideas Conference keynote speaker, John McGuren, Project Manager, Meat and Livestock Australia’s (MLA) Digital Agriculture Program, gave an overview of digital technologies investigated through MLA’s digital demonstration farms and advised producers to think about what problem they are trying to solve.

“What do you need the technology to do?” Mr McGuren asked.

“Is it going to reduce labour, is it going to make your operation more efficient, is it being able to remotely monitor your pastures, livestock or water?

“It’s important to consider the return you should expect from the investment in technology,” he said.

“This includes looking at what it currently costs you to do the tasks you want to apply technology to versus the costs and benefits. Remote water monitoring, satellite-enabled pasture management tools and connected weather stations are reasonably straightforward economically and have practical applications right now.

“If you’re interested in some of the more emerging technology, consider the problem you are trying to solve and whether it can potentially link into other data on your farm and can you create value in sharing information between systems such as livestock and

“There are lots of solutions here,” Mr Quinlan said. “I was interested in technology around water, technology around getting better information on animal weights and gains and how drone technology was developing.

“I was pleased to be able to

get information on pasture maps and now we’re thinking more about how we implement this technology to improve performance on farms.”

Central West Local Land Services Ag Team Leader Neroli Brennan oversaw the events and said she was pleased with how they ran.

“There were some fantastic discussions that took place across the two days and it’s

been a great opportunity to showcase what is available to help solve problems and improve operations on farms.

“We have enjoyed being able to showcase some of the local talent operating in the ag tech space as well and are looking forward to holding some smaller events across the region to help producers understand how technology could assist in their operations.”

Golden age: Tomingley’s half million milestone puts Alkane ahead

THE month of May gave Jason Hughes another 500,000 reasons to smile on his way to work in the mornings.

As General Manager of Tomingley Gold Operations, Jason oversaw the momentous pouring of the 500,000th ounce of gold – a significant milestone in the life of the nine-year-old operation, and a proud moment for the company’s dedicated team.

After gold was discovered at Tomingley near Dubbo by mining operation Alkane early in the 2000s, the plan was to produce 380,000 ounces of the precious commodity from open cut and underground mines over the course of seven years.

To see production sail well past that point is something of which Jason and his team are justifiably proud.

“It’s a memorable milestone for any gold operation, but particularly for one that was projected to produce just a fraction of that in its fi rst seven years.”

According to Alkane Resources’ Managing Director Nic Earner, there was a quiet confidence in the early days that further discoveries would be made, enabling an extension of the project.

Nine years after the fi rst sod was turned on the new mine in 2013, Tomingley Gold Operations is entering its second decade of production.

“That proves our confidence was well founded,” Nic told his proud team when it reached that significant half million-ounce mark.

TGO’s geological teams are seeking to expand resources even further, with the current “Life of Mine” plan showing a further 700,000 ounces of gold projected to be dug from the ground over the course of the coming decade.

As the operation’s manager, Jason is equally enthusiastic about the future, not only for the mine itself, but for the dedicated and experienced people of TGO who keep the operation ticking and he is glowing in his praise.

“We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without our employees, past and current, and all their efforts.

Above: Proud team members gathered to celebrate the momentous milestone of the pour of Tomingley Gold Operations’ 500,000th ounce bar: left to right, Glenn Hyde (Processing), Jake Darlington (Electrical), Grant Everingham (Open Cut), Michael Bennett (WHS), Jon Lamont (E&C), Sally Bourchier (Commercial), Goddie Manyura (Underground), Giverny Chomiszak (Geology), Andrew Baker (Processing). Right: At TGO, all that glitters is in fact gold. A sample of the precious commodity produced at Tomingley. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. “Many of the team members have been in the industry for a long time, and they understand that reliable, predictable and safe performance doesn’t just happen; it takes a team of people to constantly work at achieving it.

“Some have been with Alkane for many years, others came aboard only recently, but each has an important role to play to make the operation safe and successful.”

TGO team members were presented with a special commemorative jacket to mark the occasion of the 500,000th ounce of gold being poured,

but all eyes are now on the next prize.

“The next milestone is our one millionth ounce,” says Jason. “That target is already up on the wall.

“When you think that the mine was only supposed to produce 380,000 ounces and we’re now well on our way to 1,000,000, it’s certainly been a great success story.”

While the 500,000-ounce mark is significant for the operation, Jason is also proud of the great relationship TGO enjoys with the wider community, and says that to see the mine doing well and being

part of the community is very satisfying.

“We get great support from the community, and in turn we do a lot for the communities of Tomingley and the Narromine Shire.

Digging deep and aiming high: Casey’s Women in Mining award WHEN Casey Martin walked out of her last HSC exam as a teenage school leaver, she wasn’t about to let a little thing like a glass ceiling stand in her way of a challenging career.

Instead, she set about shattering it – embarking on a pathway through the very blokey world of mining and never taking a backwards step.

Seventeen years later, Casey is the newly crowned winner of the NSW Women in Mining Awards Outstanding Trade, Operator or Technician award – an accolade she didn’t seek but is honoured to accept if it means she can continue to clear a lane for other women to follow into the industry she loves.

Casey is an Underground Bogger Operator at Alkane’s Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO), which, for the uninitiated, means her expertise can be used in any area of the mine on a loader, whether by tele-remote or actually in the loader itself for both production and development. She’s the fi rst woman to work underground at TGO. At the mine at which she previously worked, she was the fi rst woman on-site to gain a blasting explosives user license.

Having spent most of her formative years in Cobar, she grew up with mining as a backdrop so the choice to pursue a career in the sector made sense, even though it was very much a male domain.

That was then, but things are different now, says the 36-year-old.

“It’s a blokey field,” she says, “But not nearly as much as when I fi rst started.

“There have been some massive changes.”

Chief among them, she says, is the fundamental shift in attitude towards women in the sector.

“There’s now so much more acceptance of women, particularly in the underground side of mining. That’s been massive, and it’s great to see how welcoming a lot of the underground mining men are to women these days, and how they’ll open up and give women the same opportunities as they’d give any male worker.”

As to her motivation for forging a successful niche in the

“That mentality that I walked into back then – that really pushed me. I didn’t want to prove them right. I just refused to quit – it’s not in my vocabulary.”

Casey has been with TGO since June 2021, and says the company’s inclusive and supportive culture is refreshing.

“Alkane and TGO are particularly encouraging of women in the industry. I was made to feel very welcome. I’ve been the only female in the underground operation up until this month but now there’s two of us.

The company is “really pushing” for more women to step onto a career path in mining, and it gives Casey

great satisfaction to think she helped pave the way.

Winning this award also gives her a platform from which to spruik the benefits of working in the sector, and to encourage young women in particular to step up to the challenge.

“I’d like to see more women come on board – there’s so many jobs within the sector, from engineering to geology to metallurgy, through to underground operations, admin, human resources. There is such a diverse range of roles that women can step into.”

The award that now sits on her mantlepiece is testament to her pioneering role in breaking new ground for women in mining, and for encouraging women to take on non-traditional roles in the sector.

Presented recently at a special ceremony held at Doltone House at Hyde Park in Sydney,

Shakespeare FUNERALS DUBBO

Casey says the night was “a very flash event and the set-up was absolutely amazing”.

While she didn’t exactly swap high-vis for high heels, she does concede it was “certainly strange” to go to a work function and not be decked out in fluorescent orange clobber and steel capped boots.

“It was an eye-opening night, for sure, and I was absolutely blown away by the calibre of the fi nalists, so to hear my name, I was stunned.

“I met so many people, and to be in a room in the company of so many women who have made and continue to make such a huge impact on our industry and then to have my name called...I almost turned to water,” Casey laughs, adding that her mum added enough waterworks for them both.

“My parents were there, and they were very proud – Mum did go to water.”

From the word “go”, TGO has been nothing short of amazingly supportive according to Casey, who says even before the award process began, the company has gone above and beyond to encourage her development.

She will now go on to represent the state of NSW at the Women in Resources National Awards in Canberra later this year.

Her message to young women stepping out into the workforce is to consider a career in one of the many facets of the mining industry.

“Give it a go. It’s the only way to fi nd out if it’s a fit for you, but I highly recommend it.

“I live it, I love it and I’ve done it for most of my life.

Regional, State & National News

State Budget wrap up: News analysis by EMILY MIDDLETON THE 2022-2023 NSW state budget was announced last Tuesday – bet you weren’t reading the budget that night?

I personally could be found putting money back into the local economy at Armatree Hotel. Someone’s got to, right?

Well I understand how confusing and overwhelming a budget can be, so for your enjoyment I have trawled through the pages of documents and condensed down the things that matter most to us as citizens of Gilgandra and surrounds.

The state government has said that regional NSW is home to one third of NSW’s population, and this number is only expanding. So it was only fitting that there was a lot of focus on the regions this year.

Regional Health system STARTING with the regional health system. Over the past few months there have been multiple strikes and industrial actions held by nurses and health staff, pleading for staff to patient ratios to be addressed, or an increased pay.

Not to mention the inquiry into regional health where very own members of our community stood up and poured their hearts out to show just how dire the rural health system is in.

While over $6.5 billion is being spent overall for the regional health system, a small portion of that will benefit the community directly. $6 million will go into the upgrade of biomedical equipment across the western NSW local health district. The budget states that this is to “improve reliability and ensure better care and outcomes for patients in major hospitals and smaller rural communities”. $306.3 million will be delivered to Dubbo Health Service redevelopment, which included the car park and the cancer centre.

Regional transport MOVING onto transport, which includes highways and roads. $68.4 million has been allocated for the planning and construction of overtaking lanes along the full length of the Newell Highway. This is both state and federally funded. $32.8 million will be used to commence construction of the new Dubbo Bridge on the Newell Highway, over the Macquarie River in Dubbo.

This too is state and federally funded.

Onto the category of ‘stronger communities’, the state government has allocated over $40 million for NSW Police and courts. $35 million will go towards the construction of the NSW Police Dubbo Regional Education and Training Centre, a facility where some of our own

$68.4 million has been allocated for the planning and construction of overtaking lanes along the full length of the Newell Highway. PHOTO: PANSCOTT MEDIA/FILE officers go to train. $5.2 million for the Dubbo Court expansion.

For ‘planning and environment’, there was only one section that was relevant to our community. $10.2 million will be used to deliver new and upgraded quality homes for First Nations people through the Aboriginal Housing Office.

Regional growth fund

in community facilities. $18.4 million for local community and cultural events to bring people together. $9.6 million to support and strengthen regional communities and councils, including priority projects and partnerships.

High quality and affordable housing LET’S move on to ‘high quality and affordable housing’.

The NSW government has addressed the regional housing supply issues, by ‘removing barriers for delivery, increase stock, and expand enabling infrastructure’. $174 million will be invested for 271 new homes to clear the waitlist for key workers in regional and remote NSW $149.8 million to deliver 200 new homes and 260 upgrades to State and community-owned properties in First Nations communities, with about 80 per cent of the funds to be spent in regional NSW $120 million for Accelerated Infrastructure Fund grants to co-fund critical enabling infrastructure across regional NSW councils. $33.8 million for the Regional Housing Development Program, including expanding the Urban Development Program (supporting 127,000 new homes in the 10-year pipeline). $32 million to deliver plan-

ning and infrastructure upgrades to First Nations communities through the Roads to Home program, supporting access to essential services.

Household budgets HOW about out household budgets. I’m sure we have all felt the cost pressures in recent months with energy bills through the roof, but what about all the other parts of life that are out of pocket costs? $1.3 billion has been allocated for the Brighter Beginnings Affordable Preschool initiative to provide fee relief for children across both the community and mobile preschool and long day-care sectors. $193 million for the Back-toSchool Subsidy, providing $150 to every NSW schoolchild towards the cost of school supplies in 2023. $128 million Energy Bill Buster program to help eligible households reduce their power bills by installing free solar panels and more efficient appliances. $98 million to provide a $250 prepaid Regional Apprentice and Uni Travel Card for university students and apprentices in regional NSW each year to ease the cost of travel.

NOW the above were really the only ‘location specific’ budget benefits. However, the following are further funds that will possibly translate later down the track into central west specific allocations, if grants are applied for and successful. $250 million has been put towards the expansion of the Stronger Country Communities Fund, which supports grassroot projects to reinvigorate rural communities. $230 million will be used to support tourism development projects and enabling infrastructure. According to the state government, this will ultimately ‘leverage recent significant growth in regional tourism, and support job creation’. $75 million is for economic activation, providing investFirst Nations ment to existing key induscommunities tries in regional NSW. $100 million for the Regional THE NSW government wants Job Creation Fund to support to strengthen partnerships NSW businesses to and support First grow and incentivNations commuise interstate and nity-controlled orinternational busiganisations in the nesses to invest in regions.

gram, providing grants of up to $250,000 to community-controlled organisations to support place-based initiatives. $15 million as part of the State Water Strategy for an integrated set of initiatives that deliver the fi rst Aboriginal Water Strategy for NSW. $12.5 million for the development of new housing design standards and wraparound service approaches for First Nations people in regional communities. $9.9 million to pilot an Aboriginal Legal Service Child and Family Advocacy and Support program in Western New South Wales and a state-wide telephone advice, advocacy, referral and support service. $9.8 million to establish local place-based partnerships, including support for Aboriginal CommunityControlled Organisations (ACCOs) to form local and regional coalitions. $6.2 million to undertake research and evaluation and deliver a pilot program in partnership with local ACCOs to improve digital connectivity and inclusion in First Nations communities.

Resilience and recovery NOW let’s talk about fire and floods. Something that has devastated our community more than once, and will continue to in the future. We saw the devastation of severe storms and flooding earlier this year, so what has the government allocated in this year’s budget that may benefit us in the future? $145 million has been allocated to replace water and sewerage critical infrastructure.

There were also several allocations for the Northern River’s region specifically to aid in recovery and reconstruction.

And Bushfi res? The government has accepted all 6 recommendations of the NSW bushfi re inquiry and, in partnership with the commonwealth government, has committed a further $315.2 million to: $147.9 million for extending hazard reduction activities. $129.7 million for fi refighting tanker replacements and safety upgrades. $27.7 million over four years to upgrade and operate national parks radio infrastructure enabling fi refighters to gain critical access to the NSW Public Safety Network. $10 million to continue the delivery of critical strategic fi re trails.

For national parks, this takes the total budget investment to $173.8 million, which will establish an additional 200 permanent fi refighter roles and 50 bushfi re conservation roles.

NSW SES funding THE NSW SES (state emergency service), as we know, plays a fundamental role in the resilience and recovery of floods. How many times have

and readiness capability to future biosecurity incursions, including enhanced response targeting endemic species. $17.1 million to continue the Farm Business Resilience Program and Rural Financial Counselling Service, which provides farmers with the skills and knowledge they need to build resilience to future droughts and natural disasters. $206.2 million over 10 years to enhance the State’s natural capital by rewarding farmers who opt-in to a Sustainable Farming accreditation program. $106.7 million to establish a new Biodiversity Credits Supply Fund, to purchase and make available biodiversity credits for re-sale to public and private proponents, enabling sustainable development and rewarding landholders who use their land for conservation.

our very own SES volunteers rescued bogged or stuck cars from flood waters? To improve the response, planning, and preparing for the SES, the NSW government has allocated the following: $58.7 million to upgrade critical priority unit facilities across NSW. $43 million to establish two additional zones in northern and western NSW with sufficient staffing to support local volunteers. $18 million to update the capability of the existing five NSW SES zone headquarters to level three incident control centre capability. $11.7 million to establish zone headquarters with level three incident control centre capability for the two new zones. $1.3 million to develop an NSW SES Facility Strategy for modern Incident Control Centres.

Education TEACHERS are also amongst those public service workers who have been striking quite often in recent months. While these particular allocations don’t necessarily directly address the ongoing crisis, the NSW government hopes that investing in infrastructure will be a step in the right direction. The budget as included the following: $583.6 million in 2022-23 towards building and upgrading schools across regional and rural areas, equating to 32 per cent of the major works spend on schools in 2022-23. $89.8 million in 2022-23 for new and ongoing capital works programs at regional TAFE campuses to improve facilities, upgrade teaching equipment and create modern learning spaces. $10.6 million for the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group to develop a Regional Operations Model. This includes $460,000 in 2022-23 to continue implementation and maintenance of the community component of the Language and Culture Nests initiative in regional locations.

Transport LET’S talk transport. I’m sure many of us have hopped on a train from Dubbo to get

$17.1 million has been budgetted to continue the Farm Business Resilience Program and Rural Financial Counselling Service. PHOTO: PANSCOTT MEDIA/FILE through to Sydney, or a bus to just get through to Dubbo. Or the Inland Rail – what’s happening there? Below is the allocations given in this year’s state budget that is relevant to us: $835.6 million over three years to continue delivery of a modern, new Regional Rail Fleet to replace the ageing XPT, XPLORER and Endeavour trains, and construct a purpose-built maintenance facility in Dubbo. $335 million over four years as part of a NSW and commonwealth government funded proposal to grade separate several road and rail interfaces in NSW as a result of the Inland Rail project. $201.2 million for a range of regional transport programs and projects including the Fixing Country Bridges program, continued planning and delivery of the 16 Cities program, and supporting regional councils through the Fixing Local Roads program. Let’s hope we get some of that! $193 million over two years to support the upgrades of priority regional roads transferred to the State, as part of the NSW government’s Regional Road Transfer and

Road Classification Review. $60.2 million over two years for the Fixing Country Rail program, to continue to deliver improved capacity and reliability of the regional rail network and deliver a highly functional network for moving freight in and out of regional areas. $12 million to continue the Transport Connected Bus Program, delivering vehicle tracking and automatic passenger-counting technology across contracted buses in regional New South Wales. $8.7 million to commence the Heavy Vehicle Rest Stops Improvement program, which will allow for the progressive delivery of rest-stop improvements on state roads throughout regional NSW.

Energy ENERGY prices can be a sore point for some regional residents, so let’s see what is allocated to “generate economic and employment benefits for regional industries, workers, and consumers”. $1.9 billion to roll out transmission infrastructure for Renewable Energy Zones in five New South Wales regions (which is intended to be fully recouped, with a maximum

impact on net debt of $1.2 billion after taking account of recycling proceeds). $110 million to build low-carbon industry by providing grants for new business activities to competitively produce low-emissions materials. $105 million investment in the Renewable Manufacturing Fund to ensure New South Wales captures the jobs and investment benefits of the renewable energy transition.

An additional $50.4 million to accelerate the Renewable Energy Zone development in light of earlier-than-expected thermal power plant closures. $45.9 million to expand the Pumped Hydro grants program to add a further 1.4 GW of storage capacity to the grid.

Primary industries SOMETHING a lot of us have a connection to out here. The NSW government have called it the “backbone” of many of the state’s regional areas. $182 million to deliver the 10year NSW government Marine Estate Management Strategy to improve water quality, estuary health and other biodiversity and environmental metrics. $163.9 million in 2022-23 to bolster the State’s response

Water

WE all drink it, we all need it. To ensure water supplies are secured for the future while supportingsustainable and healthy water environments, the NSW government is investing: $369.6 million for initiatives through the Safe and Secure Water Program including $90 million in new funding to address the water supply, quality, and safety risks for regional towns. $131.5 million over three years from the Commonwealth government to deliver water efficiency measures, including $124.0 million for Murrumbidgee Irrigation Limited to improve water delivery infrastructure. $21.5 million in additional funding over eight years to maintain the Hunter Valley Flood Mitigation Scheme to help minimise flood risk. $19.8 million to plan for the State’s water future through the NSW Water Strategy including an integrated set of initiatives that deliver the fi rst Aboriginal Water Strategy for NSW. So that’s that for another state budget. Was there anything in particular you would like to see in more depth, or something you’d like us to follow up on? Let us know.

Employment zone reform: what is it?

By EMILY MIDDLETON LAND use zones have recently been reformed by the NSW government with the creation of ‘employment zones’ taking over from industrial and business zones.

Each council has a land use document which categorises the local environmental plan (LEP) land as residential, industrial, business, and farmland etc.

In December 2021, the reform of land use zones was fi-

nalised, with the introduction of five new employment zones, and three supporting zones.

Local centre; commercial centre; productivity support; general and heavy industrial; mixed use; enterprise and working waterfront are the planned new zone names. Under the plan, land currently categorised as ‘B2 Local Centre’ (business) will be known as ‘E1 Local Centre’, with similar land use permits. Industrial land in Narromine would be similarly changed to ‘E4

General Industrial’ from its current state of IN1 General Industrial’.

The NSW government is now implementing the employment zones with proposed amendments to individual (LEPs) across the state.

As part of this implementation, the department is inviting stakeholders to make a submission on how the employment zones.

The government has said the new employment zones aim to provide a clear strategic in-

tent, including clarity around their application, and increase flexibility around land uses.

The employment zones will be placed within individual LEPs by December 1, 2022, when the business and industrial zones will be repealed.

The government notes that the proposed changes will provide a more legible suite of zones, meaning a clear strategic intent for each zone that builds on strategic work by the state and local government over the past five years.

The reform will also offer greater flexibility within the proposed zones, meaning there will be a significant increase in mandated permitted uses.

The zones will create ‘vibrant and viable centres for communities; by retaining core retail uses in centres.

Along with these reasons, a list of other benefits can be found on the NSW government website, along with information about how to provide a submission.

Narromine Preschool makes “women of empowerment” statue Contributed by LOUISE SIMPSON, DIRECTOR OUR Preschool is very proud of the contribution we make to the early learning years of the children in the Narromine community.

With this in mind, we have created a “Women of Empowerment” statue, to represent the large number of women in the Early Childhood Education sector overall, and the positive impact this has on a child’s education.

The photos show the progression of this project from a steel frame with chicken wire and straw to a beautiful representation of our amazing educators from over the years and into the future.

Parents and children have contributed fabric, yarn, cotton, pinecones and other items to be woven into the woman.

Parents have also added a word to a clay “leaf” to our Women of Empowerment to show what our “special” preschool women mean to their family.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed and to Miss Jo How it began... PHOTOS: LOUISE SIMPSON for leading the project.

And a little more...

And some more...

CWA public speaking comp wrap up

Contributed by PAT RILEY, TRANGIE CWA THE Inter-group segment of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) Public Speaking competition was held in Cowra on June 20, with students from Nyngan, Warren, Trangie, Narromine, Forbes, Bathurst, Orange and Cowra competing.

Narromine shire students Darcy Tink, Bella Havercroft, Zalia Terry and Abigail Brown travelled to Cowra to represent the Far West Zone in the competition against other fi nalists from the Zone.

They had all previously competed at Narromine against students from across the region earlier in the month to each earn one of two spots per age group in the competition.

Once again, the audience and judges alike were impressed by the improved confidence, the standard of delivery and the depth of research that each student had applied to their chosen subject.

This, the fi nal event for the year, saw Jemima McKay of St Mary’s, Warren, take out fi rst place in the 3-4 year section. Darcy Tink, St Augustine’s, Narromine, received a Highly Commended in year 5-6 section and Jamieson Bush, representing Nyngan High School, was awarded fi rst place in years 7-8 section.

This competition was initiated by the CWA in the 1980’s as a means of providing an avenue for young people to gain confidence in the art of speaking in public as well as a means by which to hone research skills, both of which are very useful tools to take into adulthood.

Judge Geoff Smith, also from Narromine, commented at the conclusion of the event about how high the standard was and how well all the participants had spoken in the competition.

Trangie groups to benefit from community grants

By SHARON BONTHUYS TWO Trangie groups will benefit from grants as part of the Stronger Communities Program.

Trangie Central School’s P&C Association will receive $14 000 for a unique project to construct a rest and shade shelter in the junior campus.

The St Vincent de Paul (Vinnies) shop in Dandaloo Street will receive $8 800 to upgrade the electrical wiring in the store.

The Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton MP, visited Trangie on June 23 to fi nd out more about the projects and meet some of those involved.

Emma Flinn and Emily Seccombe from the Trangie P&C Association said their shade shelter project was designed with community members fi rmly in mind. It had taken many years to raise $14 000 of their own funds which the grant will match.

“We’ve had lots of little events over the years, and the money has accumulated over time,” Ms Seccombe said.

“There are people who need [this] in our community. There is no shade along this entire street for anyone walking along,” she said.

The six-metre by three-metre structure will be built just inside the school grounds in the junior campus but will be accessible to passers-by, parents and carers.

“Our community is part of our school,” Ms Flinn said. “Everyone is everything here. We are very proud of our town.”

At the Vinnies shop, Mr Coulton was welcomed by volunteers Garry Fitzgerald, John Mills, Coral Dennis and Pat Riley.

Vinnies has operated its Trangie shop for 30 years and Mr Fitzgerald said.

“It’s so important to ensure the wiring is upgraded. We don’t want any fires,” he said.

Mr Coulton took time to speak with the volunteers and was surprised to learn that Ms Dennis has volunteered with the organisation for an incredible 48 years.

“I like making people happy,” Ms Dennis said.

Importantly, both Trangie P&C and Vinnies hope to engage local tradespeople to complete their projects, keeping the funds in town. Vinnies has already gone to tender for the project to upgrade the store’s electrical wiring, and the P&C is about to engage a local contractor to complete the shade shelter project.

By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH a range of classic cars, motorcycles and even an impressive prime mover on display, locals and visitors enjoyed the latest Coffee and Cars event in Narromine on June 26.

Over 30 vehicles were on display at the event held in Burraway Street, including a Model T Ford which attracted a lot of attention.

Narromine Car Club member Dan Compton enjoyed talking about his prized, bright yellow 1966 XR Falcon, which he has owned since the age of 16. The car generally only makes an appearance now at club events and on club cruises, he said. Mr Compton’s son, Brigalow, 11, liked the Model T Ford better than his Falcon, Mr Compton laughed.

Dubbo visitor Darryl Brooks brought along “Henry”, his

“It had six cylinders, three on the tree, no radio and no heater,” Mr Brooks told the Narromine Star. Henry underwent a “colour upgrade, 302V8, four-speed top loader box, and nine-inch diff,” Mr Brooks said, assuring us that car enthusiasts would know exactly what that means.

Henry was sold in 1991 for $4000, ended up with some rust and a dint from a prang on the front passenger side before Mr Brooks was able to buy the car back in 2000. Henry has stayed in Mr Brooks’ possession ever since and has been restored to glory including the addition of 12-slot wheels and bucket seats.

Caravan club tag-a-long visits Trangie

The ACC members enjoy a catch up at the Trangie Caravan Park.

The club said Trangie has everything they need.

Eight vans visited on this “tag-a-long” trip.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Golden Westerners branch of the Australian Caravan Club (ACC) visited Trangie once again this week as part of a “tag-a-long” tour.

“We love visiting Trangie.

The people are so friendly and the town has everything we need,” said tag-a-long coordinator Judy Humphreys, who is a regular visitor to the town with her husband, Graham.

“It’s always different when we come out here.”

Trangie is the last stop in

the tag-a-long for the group which fields eight vans on this trip. Branch members come from all over including Sydney, Dubbo and Mudgee.

“We left home at the end of April and this is the end of the tag-a-long for us,” said Mrs Humphreys, who hails from Thirlmere, south-west of Sydney.

The group stayed at the Trangie Caravan Park and praised operators Paul and Clarissa Gartside for improving the facilities since taking over the park 18 months ago.

“They have done an excellent job. We feel really comfortable here,” Mrs Humphreys said.

The ACC visited Trangie last year with a large contingent of 30 vans. In the week the group stayed in town, they contributed $24 000 to the local community, Mrs Humphreys said. Members have previously toured the local cotton gin and taken side trips out to other communities such as Albert and Narromine.

Like many other caravan clubs, the ACC also raises

funds internally to donate to local communities. Last year the group donated $1 000 to the Trangie Hospital Auxiliary.

Mrs Humphreys said that with international borders closed during the pandemic, more people began to explore Australia through caravanning.

“People were discovering our own country because they had no other option. Friends of ours have started to look at Australia very differently,” she said.

“The only thing that may

stop [people travelling] is prices. Especially fuel prices. It’s cheaper for us to stay in caravan parks than motels, and our caravans have all the mod cons.”

Mrs Humphreys said the club will definitely be back.

“It’s so nice to escape big towns and take a deep breath and smell the fresh air out here,” she said.

Catch you next time, ACC.

By COLIN HODGES FORMER Australian test cricket spin bowler Kerry O’Keeffe and fellow owner David Ringland were trackside to see their highly promising young galloper Gallant Star score another outstanding win at Dubbo on Sunday, June 26.

At debut, the Brett Robb, locally trained Gallant Star led throughout when trouncing a smart field of two-year-olds in the Silver Goblet and the task on Sunday was to tackle older horses in the 1100 metres Dubbo RSL Health and Fitness Class One Handicap.

So confident were supporters of another big performance, the TAB fi xed odds on offer shrank from $2.70 to $1.40

Dubai Centre wins Dubbo winter classic favouritism at post time.

Straight to the front, Gallant Star led Hiraishin by three quarters of a length in the run to the home turn where Clayton Gallagher without undue pressure allowed his mount to break clear.

Untroubled in the run to the line, Gallant Star recorded a fast time when breezing home over two lengths in advance of a couple of handy types, Brief Statement (Ashley Morgan, $6) and Shooting Zaa (Matthew Palmer, $14).

The field for the feature event, the 1300 metres Dubbo RSL Club Winter Country Classic Final was comprised of qualifiers from the two heats contested at the previous Dubbo meeting.

Going one better than the second to Foreign Brother in a Heat, the John Rolfe, Canberra-trained Dubai Centre took out the $32,000 fi nal with Michael Heagney in the saddle.

From midfield, Dubai Centre ($4.60) came with a strong,

Gerries golf: Double to Richo Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Wednesday, a total of 12 players lined up for the Gerries’ weekly afternoon competition in very pleasant conditions.

Mal Richardson had a real field day when he recorded a great score of 27 points to win the weekly golf competition, and then followed it up with a big win in the pool event. A pretty good day, Mal, however, you may not like your new handicap.

Back to golf where the course was in very good condition and the scores were top class. Mal had a very good round to defeat Bob Fletcher and Brian Masling who each returned scores of 26 points.

Roosters lead the way Contributed by BRYSON LUFF WITH half the competition rounds completed, the Cobar Roosters are perched at the top of the 2022 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League ladder.

The team has suffered only one defeat thus far this year, back in Round 3 when they went down to the Gulgong Bull Terriers, 30 points to 24 at Gulgong.

As expected, the Roosters were made to work for the competition points last Saturday in their Round 9 game against the youthful Coonamble Bears outfit at Coonamble.

The visitors scored six tries to five to notch an important win, the fi nal score being 34 to 26.

This was the second loss in a row for the Bears, having gone down narrowly to Gilgandra the previous week. Such is the closeness of the competition, those two losses have seen them tumble from second on the ladder to sixth, albeit just one competition point outside the top four.

They will enjoy a bye next

week whilst the Roosters will be out to avenge their earlier loss to Gulgong when they host the Terriers at Tom Knight Oval next Saturday in what is a crucial game for both clubs.

Meanwhile at Baradine, a tenacious Magpie team, spurred on by a vocal crowd who were getting ready to celebrate Baradine’s 100th anniversary at a “Black and White Ball” that night, almost caused a major boilover when they fully tested the Gilgandra Panthers.

In fact, there were many at the ground that thought that perhaps the better team might have lost such was the rather remarkable and stirring comeback staged by the home team.

It all looked like smooth sailing for the Panthers as they raced away to an 18-nil lead midway through the fi rst half, before going to the sheds seemingly still in control with the scoreboard reading 24 to six.

Whatever went down in the Baradine dressing shed at half time had the desired affect and for 32 of the fi nal 40 minutes they were on top of their oppo-

bo RSL Motel Benchmark 58 Handicap in a close fi nish from Dunlee (Ashley Morgan ,$5.50 fav.) and Talkachino (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $6.50).

Talkachino, a maiden class performer, took on horses with up to 8 wins and after taking a narrow lead at the top of the straight fought on well.

From off the pace, apprentice Elissa Meredith timed her run to perfection on the Mark Milton, Mudgee-trained Harley Fat Boy ($17) which returned to form with a strong win from The Pres (Michael Heagney, $19) and Possibly So (Tony Cavallo, $2.60 fav.) in the1400 metres Dubbo Rhino Lodge Class Two Handicap.

The other race, the 1600 North Dubbo RSL Sporties Benchmark 66 Handicap saw the Todd Howlett, Newcastle trained Scorched Land (Ashley Morgan, $2.80) overhaul the leader Ferus (Hollie Hull, $2.45 fav.) to win by a length with Lady Riz (Ken Dunbar, $10) in third place.

sition. Quite incredibly, much to the delight of their supporters, with just eight minutes remaining they were in front 30 points to 28!

It was desperate times for the visitors as they tried to breach the Magpies’ defence.

Sadly for the Black and White faithful, the Panthers did manage to score a breakout try with just three minutes remaining followed by another in the fi nal seconds to claim the competition points and retain their second position on the competition ladder.

Whilst they did not get the win the Baradine players deservedly got a standing ovation as they trooped from the ground after a memorable performance.

The Panthers can look forward to another tough encounter this Saturday when they travel to Dunedoo to meet up with the Swans in a Boronia Cup Challenge game.

After a slow start to their season the Swans have certainly established themselves as premiership contenders in

Harding and Gillette champions for 2022 Contributed by KALE BOCK AND NORM LEWIS

THE annual Narromine Golf Club Foursomes Championships were played on Sunday over 36 holes. A top field of 24 players (12 Pairs) participated in the marathon 36-hole event.

After playing the fi nal hole, it was discovered there was a tie in the major event between Tony Mann and Rob Williams, and Tony Harding and Steve Gillette, both on 146. Being a championship event, the winners would now be decided in a play-off.

After the fi rst play-off hole the scores were still equal so it was off to the second. It was here Harding and Gillette won the event with a par thus becoming the 2022 Foursomes Champions. Runners up were Tony Mann and Rob Williams.

Excellent golf from all four players.

It is noted from Club records that Harding and Gillette won the title in 2012 and 2015. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to the runners-up who were the defending champions.

The handicap event was won

by Kale Bock and Mitch Smith with 77 stableford points from Greg Barling and Greg Kearines on 71 points. Many

This week we fi nish on a

very sad note. During the week we lost one of the top stalwarts of the club in Richard Duff.

“Duffy “ as he was known was a former President, Board Director, supporter of golf and the club. The sincerest sympathy of all club members and friends is extended to the family of the late Richard Duff.

That’s it for another week, see you at the 19th.

Busy week at bowls and comps coming up Contributed by RICK BOHM ANOTHER busy week of bowls with the semi-fi nals of the Club Fours played last weekend. Congratulations to Don Sullivan, Peter Cross, Adam Jermyn and John Edwards who along with Cliff Harris, Bill Wilkie, James Coen and Kevin Rider, will now clash in the fi nal this Saturday. For Johno and crew it was fairly comfortable thanks mainly to a handy score of 10 shots in two ends at a vital stage of the game against Robert French’s quartet. Whilst for Kevie, it was a bit tougher edging out

Steve Buttsworth’s team on the last end to claim their position in the fi nal. We wish both teams the best of British.

Social bowls this week was on the improve with 16 going round Thursday and 28 taking to the paddock Sunday morning, albeit the Trangie Boys helped swell the numbers on Sunday.

Thursday’s diatribe saw Bob Christoff and John Silk atop the podium. Silky doesn’t get to play that often at Narromine, but of late he has been sneaking over the border and picking up a few chocolates from Narromine’s basket.

The runners up were the trio of Richard (New Shoes) Hyde, Mick Edwards and Steve Buttsworth, whilst the jackpot prize pool remained in place.

Sunday saw once again the Trangie boys join in with the local yokels for a morning outing of friendly banter, bowls and camaraderie. Due to the large numbers we had fi rst, second and third spots up for grabs.

The day’s winners were the formidable trio of Doug Ferrari, Bob Davis and Corey Artery. Second place was fi lled by another triples out-

fit, namely Bob Duncan, John (That Man Again) Silk and Brett Young, whilst the proven pairs combination of Arnold Gillespie and Danny Carnevale hung on long enough to claim the third prize. As usual, a great morning out followed by a light luncheon saw a contented bunch of Trangie Boys journey off home in time to watch the footy.

The Zone 4 Men’s Pennant Season kicks off in August and the Club has organised a trial match against Dubbo Macquarie on July 23 in Dubbo. This year the men will be playing in Division 3 against

Dickie, whilst not a bowler, was always one of the fi rst sponsors to jump aboard anytime we needed people to help run or ensure our annual tournaments were supported.

To the family our condolences and thoughts are with you in these difficult times.
