Bruce Maynard nominated for Bob Hawke Landcare Award By SHARON BONTHUYS LOCAL agricultural innovator and inventor Bruce Maynard is one of three candidates nominated for the prestigious 2022 Bob Hawke Landcare Award. Bruce’s nomination for the top Landcare award recognises the body of work that he has contributed to natural resource management innovation and implementation over 30 years. One of Bruce’s more notable innovations is the unique, revolutionary “No Kill Cropping” technique which relies on disc sowing into dry, full grassland without pesticides, herbicides and fertiliser. Keenly interested in animal welfare, Bruce also developed “Stress-Free Stockmanship” competencies, and he has pioneered a new ﬁeld of animal behavioural science called “Self Herding”. “All of these inventions are being practiced on farms and stations across Australia and internationally,” Bruce said. Being nominated for the 2022 Bob Hawke Landcare Award is a huge honour for the quietly spoken regenerative farmer, who is a passionate advocate for landcare in the region. Continued page 9

Trangie fire crews have a busy week By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE fi re crews were kept busy last week, responding to separate fi re incidents in Warren and Trangie. Housefi res occurred in Warren on August 9 and Trangie on August 12, with both properties extensively damaged in the separate blazes. In the latter of the two incidents, an elderly woman escaped the fi re in her Trangie home thanks to the quick actions of a passerby. She was taken to hospital but was not injured in the incident, said Captain Wade Haines of the Trangie Fire Station. The fi rst incident at Warren occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, August 9 when Warren and Trangie fi re crews responded to the fi re at a home in Glen Street, Warren. The timber, fibro and iron home was unoccupied at the time and no injuries were reported. Three days later both crews were called out again early on Friday evening to the housefi re in Albert Street, Trangie. The single level timber, masonry and iron house was well alight when fi re crews arrived to fight the blaze at 5.40pm on August 12. In both instances, fi refighters from Trangie and the NSW Rural Fire Service

The Warren house was extensively damaged. (RFS) were able to protect adjoining properties using additional hose lines to gain control of the ﬁ res. Support was also provided at both incidents by HAZMAT 280 Station Dubbo, NSW RFS Trangie HQ and Warren HQ, NSW Police, NSW Ambulance and Essential Energy.

With two house fi res in the region in a week and a ten per cent increase in the number of house fi res during the cooler months, Fire + Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is urging communities across NSW to “be safe, not sorry” this winter by being home fi re safe. Captain Haines said there

Landholders attend info session on emergency animal diseases By SHARON BONTHUYS A free information session was held in Dubbo on August 9 to equip landholders with information to effectively prepare for and manage an emergency animal disease outbreak. With foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and lumpy skin disease (LSD) on Australia’s northern doorstep, and parts of NSW impacted by the Varroa mite incursion that threatens our honeybee industry, biosecurity is on everyone’s minds. The Dubbo event was facilitated by Local Land Services (LLS) as part of a series of free information sessions throughout the Central Tablelands and Central West of NSW. Sessions were also being held in Mudgee, Forbes and Blayney. Dr Kelly Wood from the NSW Department of Primary Industries provided information about how FMD and LSD manifests in cloven-hoofed animals including sheep, cattle, goats, deer and pigs. The outbreaks in near-neighour Indonesia are of great concern, particularly as LSD is a “vector-borne disease” carried by insects. Australia has offered signiﬁcant advice and assistance to Indonesia to help deal with the outbreaks

to help protect our $80 billion livestock industry, Dr Wood said. “It’s critical landholders have the information they need to not only recognise the signs of these devastating livestock diseases, but also how to put measures in place to help protect their farms from biosecurity threats,” said Dr Rhys Powell from LLS. Dr Ben Bryant, District Veterinarian, addressed the session about the importance of being prepared, and to engage with district veterinarians to investigate sick animals to manage potential risk to their businesses. In the central west, district vets are located in Dubbo, Forbes Nyngan, Condobolin and Coonabarabran. He also encouraged landholders to complete their annual stock returns and to maintain a register of visitors to their properties. A number of LLS biosecurity warning signs for visitors were handed out to attendees to display at the entry to their properties. Nigel Boyce from LLS also addressed the session and encouraged landholders to manage feral animals such as pigs, and to ensure animals being brought in from other are-

and made sure to grab one for her neighbour. She found the session very informative but said LLS should be targeting average citizens with their messaging as they also play a big role in biosecurity. “Landholders are aware of [these diseases] and what we need to do [to prevent them],”

Weather impacts consultation as Council asks residents to report road issues By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST week’s bad weather postponed the Narromine Shire Council’s proposed road management strategy consultation days at Mungery, Burroway and Dandaloo. Sessions were completed at Narromine, Trangie and Tomingley earlier in the month. The postponed sessions will be rescheduled and the dates listed on Council’s website. The General Manager of Narromine Shire Council, Jane Redden, has also extended the public exhibition period for the Draft Roads Management Strategy until September 30. The completion date for the associated survey has also been extended to September 30. Both were due to close early next month. The draft strategy and survey are available on the Council’s website or hard copies can be obtained from the Council office. The General Manager has stressed the importance of reporting local road concerns directly to Council. “If anyone is unable to attend a consultation session, I warmly welcome residents to make an appointment to come and discuss any road concerns with myself and Council staff,” she said. “The Roads Management Strategy is an integral part of Council’s Transport Asset Management Planning. It includes the Roads Hierarchy and the proposed levels of service for Council’s local and regional roads.” The information collected from the survey process is strictly conﬁdential and will be used to provide Council with a clearer understanding of the traffic and productivity use of the road network, she said. “It will provide us with a sound economic case for road funding when applying to State and Federal Governments,” she said.

“Macquarie View Road fixed,” “Save our road from washing away,” plead Raeburn Lane residents resident thanks Council

Low-lying sections and causeways on Raeburn Lane are still underwater after an extended period of poor weather. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

Macquarie View Road is safer now following Council works. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire resident Craig McDonald rang our paper last week to offer his views on Council roads. “We had the council out doing our road not that long ago as it was in a pretty bad way. It’s actually come up pretty good,” the resident of Macquarie View Road said. “There was a really bad corner on it and they were able to ﬁ x it up. I reckon they did a good job,” he said. “I’ve been reading about all the bad news and stuff but when [the council staff ] were working [on Macquarie View Road] I went up and told them about the bad corner. They took it on board and I think they have ﬁ xed it.

They certainly tried their hardest.” Macquarie View Road “has a few doglegs in it”, according to Craig McDonald. “The ﬁ rst corner had water running down across the road every time it rained. It was dangerous. People would be on the wrong side of the road coming round the corner to avoid the washouts.” He said the council cleaned out a culvert and a pipe at the location, and water no longer ﬂowed across the road when it rained. “So far so good. It has taken a lot of pressure off that corner.” Mr McDonald said that he had called the council to express his appreciation.

RAEBURN Lane, 25km south-west of Narromine, was rehabilitated by Narromine Shire Council in 2021 thanks to a $334,000 grant from the federal Fixing Local Roads program. Residents who lobbied long and hard for the council to get the grant were thrilled with the result and very thankful. That was until the rains came and several sections of the 10-kilometre road disappeared underwater. The residents are concerned about the displacement of gravel and deteriorating causeways beneath those sections still impacted by water months later. They have requested culverts to be installed to allow cross-drainage, which they believe will save their road from worsening, and the “washing away” of the grant money that ﬁ xed it in the ﬁ rst place. Frustrations are high. “There’s been no communication from the Council at all,” said resident Merinda Roll. “What is their plan moving forward? Are they going to put in

culverts?” Longtime Raeburn Lane resident and former Mayor and Councillor Bob Barnett said the roadway has also diverted the natural ﬂow of water from nearby Brady’s Cowal into a swamp which then overﬂows onto the McGrane Way instead of down to the Bogan River. The residents acknowledge that little can be done while the inclement weather that has plagued the Narromine Shire over the last several months continues. More rain has fallen during the last week, the very last thing that anyone needs right now. But they would like answers, and hopefully, some solutions. The General Manager of the Narromine Shire Council, Jane Redden, told the Narromine Star that inclement weather is impacting the organisation’s ability to undertake some repairs and maintenance. The weather is outside anyone’s control. The General Manager has asked that the residents contact her directly to discuss their concerns about Raeburn Lane.

Tomingley author inspires new anthology of drought stories By SHARON BONTHUYS FOR Tomingley resident and popular farm life blogger, Toni Clark, a trip to the movies in Dubbo with daughter Emily back in January 2020 was meant to be a time to chill and relax. She had fi nally taken an afternoon off, a small moment of relief from the drought which at that stage had not ended. In those quiet moments before the movie started, as she thought about the impact of those difficult years, an idea came to Toni. “I was pondering everything we had been through, and as I tend to do, started wondering what good can come out of such an awful few years,” she said. “Write it down – your story will be a book. “I felt in my spirit that I was being prompted to write the story down, not just on my facebook page but properly, in a book. I felt it was to be a collaboration of stories.” She flagged the idea with Emily, who immediately agreed. Toni’s heart started racing. This was something that she had dreamed about doing but had never really thought about taking any further. She fi red off a quick text to a friend, another farmer’s wife, and the reply came quickly. “I hopped onto my phone

Dusty Boots, Faithful Hearts is an anthology by 13 country women.

and messaged Linda Young, a farmer wife friend near Nyngan. She responded almost immediately, agreeing, and actually told me that she had been pondering the exact same thought,” Toni said. Toni and Lynda approached several country women they knew who might be interested in being a part of their project to collate individual stories into an anthology. Two years later, this collaborative project is about to bear fruit. Written by 13 country women, the collection of heart-felt, real life stories about the drought is about to be published. The Dusty Boots, Faithful

Hearts anthology goes to print later this month and will be released in the near future. Although the drought and the pandemic that followed have come and gone, the thoughts that inspired the anthology remain relevant and real. “We all felt strongly about making sure the drought didn’t get the last say,” Toni said. All but one of the writers featured in the anthology are from NSW, Toni said. South Australian Peri McIntosh is the sole author from another state. The NSW authors hail from Tomingley, Alectown, Nyngan, Tottenham, Nevertire,

Henty, Guyra and farther aﬁeld. Of the stories, Toni said: “Every story is unique, but all tied together with the common thread of faith. Every story is the biography of the farmer wife/daughter and her family facing drought.” Few of the authors have actually met each other in real life, she said. “Due to distance and lockdowns, most of us have still not met face to face. The writing process has all been done via ‘the cloud’ and messages have gone back and forth for two and a half years.” She said the project has created an unbreakable bond between the group of 13 writers.

“We catch up via Messenger regularly, checking in on each other and our families. We have remotely shared new babies, weddings, the loss of loved ones and illness, as well as gardening tips and recipes!” Toni said. Seeing the Dusty Boots, Faithful Hearts anthology come to fruition is immensely satisfying for the Tomingley local and author, whose popular “Farmer’s Wife, Farmer’s Life” blog has almost 7,000 followers. “[I’ve] learned a lot along the way [about book publishing],” she said, encouraging the community to follow the anthology on its dedicated social media pages.

Bruce Maynard nominated for Bob Hawke Landcare Award From page 1 “I see the nomination as a reﬂection not just on me individually but also my extended family, past and present, as well as the many collaborators that have made the journey possible,” Bruce told the Narromine Star. “The family have been pleased as they see it as a combined honour that

is shared across generations of work.” Bruce’s work has featured in several books including the inﬂuential regenerative book “Call of the Reed Warbler” by Charles Massy. The family farm, Willydah, in the Narromine Shire has also hosted landcare works including the planting of over 200,000 trees and 350,000

shrubs. It has also welcomed over 4,500 visitors over 25 years. Bruce travels extensively conducting training courses, advisory visits and seminar presentations in Australia and overseas.He is active with local Landcare across Australia along with roles in the Constructive Farming Cooperative and the Commu-

nity Overspray Groups. “The Bob Hawke Landcare Award acknowledges the role that former Australian Prime Minister, the Honourable Bob Hawke AC, played in elevating landcare from a grassroots community initiative to a national movement with bi-partisan government support that endures today,” ac-

cording to the Landcare Australia website. The recipient of the prestigious memorial award, now in its tenth year, will receive $50,000 to further develop their skills and knowledge in sustainable land management for the betterment of landcare. The other nominees for the award include agroecologist, scientist

and third generation viticulturist from South Australia, Dr Mary Retallack, and respected regenerative agriculture specialist and farmer, Geoff Bassett, also from NSW. Bruce and his wife Roz will attend the national awards dinner in Sydney on August 24 as guests of Landcare Australia.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Apply now for Volunteer Grants I am inviting eligible not-forprofit organisations in the Parkes electorate to submit an expression of interest to my office for the 2022-23 Volunteer Grants program. Whether it’s volunteering with Meals on Wheels, helping in the canteen at the junior soccer or responding to emergencies with the State Emergency Service, our volunteers play an important role in our communities, and these grants help ensure local volunteers can continue their valuable work. Grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 are available to help community groups pay for equipment or for promotional activities that increase participation in volunteering, as well as reimburse fuel costs and expenses associated with transport and training. I know how beneficial these grants have been to previous recipients over the years, so I encourage all eligible organisations to download an EOI form and submit an expression of interest to my office by 5pm AEST Friday, September 16. More information is available by contacting the Dubbo electorate office on 02 6882 0999 or by downloading the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo THE level crossing on Dandaloo Road in Narromine will be part of a trial to install innovative signs with LED ﬂashing lights to increase and improve awareness and safety at this site. If successful, we could see these rolled out across the

ebration of science and technology. Science plays a vital role in Australia’s economy, standard of living, health, environment and future, and this week is an opportunity to celebrate the contribution of scientists, engineers and technologists around the country, as well as to inspire the next generation of young scientists. This year, National Science Week events will be held online and in-person throughout the country, and I encourage people in the Parkes electorate to get involved. Residents can also explore Australia’s plant biodiversity from the comfort of their own homes by participating in ABC’s National Science Week project ‘Australia’s Favourite Tree’. People can go online, explore the science and wonder of iconic native plants, and vote for the trees they love. National Science Week 2022 runs from August 13 to 21. Event details can be found at scienceweek.net.au.

Chance for senior students to make their voices heard I’M encouraging senior students in the Parkes electorate who are keen public speakers and passionate about politics to consider entering the House of Representatives’ My First Speech competition. The competition asks year 10 to 12 students to imagine they are a new Member of Parliament making their fi rst speech and record a 90-second video of themselves talking about an issue in their local community. The three winners will be flown to Canberra with a parent or guardian to present their speeches live and undertake a program at Parliament House. This competition is a wonderful way for our next generation of community leaders Dubbo electorate and the state, potentially saving more lives, while reducing the stress on train drivers who witness the terrible tragedy of level crossing accidents. FIRE and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is warning the public that in most house fi res this winter, toxic smoke is a more immediate threat to life than the flames. Residential fi res have claimed 13 lives in NSW so far this season, with smoke inhalation suspected of being a significant factor in many of those deaths. There have also been 56

Working with Indigenous communities IT’S been too long since I’ve spent time in Toomelah and Boggabilla, in the north-eastern most tip of my electorate, so it was great to catch up with local leaders in both of these communities last week. It was great to meet the injuries suffered in the 576 house fi res recorded across NSW so far this winter, with more than 150 blazes in the past two weeks alone. Working smoke alarms are the fi rst line of defence in a house fi re, particularly if you’re asleep. If your smoke alarm is too old, you haven’t maintained it or if you don’t have one at all, you and your loved ones are at risk of dying in a residential fi re.” Of the more than 500 house fi res this winter, 46 per cent didn’t have a working smoke alarm and one in five didn’t have a smoke alarm at all.

I also caught up with the Toomelah Local Aboriginal Land Council to discuss a number of issues in the community, including rubbish collection, phone coverage, ﬂooding at the cemetery and the demolition of unoccupied dwellings. At Boggabilla, I met up with Chris McGrady on the block of land that has been purchased as the site of the Norththeir carers are helping shape the future of the Mental Health Line by sharing their experience with the NSW Government. The 1800 011 511 NSW Mental Health Line is a free phone service which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering specialist advice, support and referral to specialist NSW Health mental health services. Co-designing the Mental Health Line with people with lived experience of mental illness is the best way to ensure the next evolution continues to make a real difference to those who need it. We encourage people to get involved in the Have Your Say

ern Gomeroi Men’s Shed. The Northern Gomeroi Aboriginal Corporation has received Federal Government funding to establish a Men’s Shed in Boggabilla, but there’s still plenty of work to do to get this site up and running. I’m very supportive of this project, which I believe will make a positive difference in Boggabilla, providing men of all ages with a place to go to have a yarn, connect with each other and be involved in the community. consultation, whether they have experience using the Mental Health Line or may have not known about the service, we want to hear from all. APPLICATIONS for Round one of the Arts and Cultural Funding Program are open for Annual Organisation, Projects, and the Creative Koori Projects categories. I strongly encourage professional artists and creatives, arts and cultural organisations, and local councils to apply for funding that will increase access and availability of arts and cultural experiences across NSW.

Regional, State & National news Steve Calder: A son of Narromine honoured By SHARON BONTHUYS EVERY September, the Men of League Foundation in Queensland honours a son of Narromine, the late rugby league identity, player and coach Steve Calder, with an award that bears his name. Born in Narromine in 1952, Steve played ﬁ rst grade rugby league at age 17 and toured Queensland with the NSW Combined High Schools. He was snapped up by Canterbury-Bankstown in 1971, played in England for a short time, and eventually settled in Brisbane, playing for Norths. Steve married childhood sweetheart Suzanne McKinnon in 1974 in Narromine and welcomed children Nathan, Nicky, Gabrielle and Brooke. After coaching Corrimal and playing in the Illawarra

league, Wayne Bennett lured Steve back to Queensland where he became a key member of the coaching staff at the Brisbane Broncos in the early 1990s. He also later became involved with the Men of League Foundation which formed in 2002. The foundation supports the rugby league community through physical, ﬁ nancial and emotional support with a heavy emphasis on wellbeing. It has offices in NSW and Queensland. “In 2004, Steve became the Men of League’s ﬁ rst Queensland chairman. He held this position until 2011, when he began working full time as the Men of League’s Queensland State Manager,” said foundation spokesperson Andrew Blucher. “With a burning passion for

the game and its people, Steve served the Men of League with distinction until illness forced him to stand down. He passed away on October 29, 2015. “Steve Calder was a highly-respected former player and coach, winning the prestigious Rothmans Medal while playing for Norths Devils in 1975 and played a key role in Darren Lockyer’s development during his coaching tenure at the Broncos,” Andrew Blucher said. “He was a rugby league servant, renowned as a champion bloke and loved throughout the rugby league community, especially in Queensland.” The Queensland Men of League Volunteer of the Year award has been presented annually since 2012, but became known as the Steve Calder Queensland Men of League

AUSTRALIA NSW.

By SHARON BONTHUYS CLASSIC car lovers, look out! The 14th National Model T Ford Rally 20T2 is headed for the Narromine Shire next month with visits to Trangie and Narromine on their agenda.

With 122 registered entrants from 23 historic car clubs around Australia and internationally, the rally affectionately known as 20T2 is set to be held in Dubbo between September 25 and October 1. During their rally visit, a

huge contingent of Model Ts will be making their way to Narromine and Trangie on a day trip on September 26. The two oldest vehicles participating in the rally are 112 years old, and the youngest 25 vehicles are 96 years old. The rest are of varying ages

in between but most have surpassed the 100-year milestone. The Model Ts in the rally have a range of body types that car enthusiasts will know and love, including Tourer (most common), Roadster, Coupe, Tudor, Speedster, TT Truck, Utility, Van, Town

Car, Fordor, Centerdoor, Depot Hack, Sedan (Not Speciﬁed), Wagonette, and Modern Vehicle. It’s a piece of history not to be missed! You can follow the rally on social media and online.

Sites confirmed for overtaking lanes By SHARON BONTHUYS AS mentioned in last week’s issue, there are three new overtaking lanes planned for the Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Narromine. Work started on the ﬁ rst of these last week at Lagoon Creek, east of Narromine. A spokesperson for Transport for NSW has conﬁ rmed that this work is expected to be completed in six months, weather permitting. “Overtaking lanes will also be built at Mylangra and Tantitha where a number of other safety improvements will be carried out, including road widening and the installation of rumble strips, one metre centre lines and safety barriers,” the spokesperson said. This follows the completion of the $2 million safety upgrade at the intersection of Rawsonville Bridge Road and North Minore Road, which is now open to traffic. “This upgrade will enhance

the safety of all motorists travelling through this section of the Mitchell Highway. “[Works at this location] included the widening and upgrading of the existing pavement to accommodate right-turn lanes eastbound onto North Minore Road, and westbound onto Rawsonville Bridge Road,” the spokesperson said. “The work also included the widening and upgrading of existing drainage infrastructure and upgraded line-marking.” Traffic control remains in place around the Lagoon Creek project and police have urged motorists to take care while travelling through the roadworks as the project progresses. The NSW Government has committed more than $32 million to these safety upgrades, the spokesperson said. The complete package of work is expected to be completed by mid-2024, weather permitting.

Bus trip and Indian cultural experience for Timbrebongie residents Contributed by SANDRA EDMUNDS WE have been very busy at Timbrebongie recently with our fi rst bus trip excursions since before COVID. We welcomed our new bus driver, Steve. Along with seven residents, Singh the carer and an extra resident with me in the car loaded with wheelie walkers, off we went. We were welcomed at the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Experience with a cuppa and slice in the Outback Trek café. Then we were taken on a guided tour and watched a movie experiencing the scale, the sights and the moving human stories of Australia’s outback, meeting the colourful characters the Flying Doctor have assisted over the years and bought mementos of our trip. We liked it so much we returned on August 12 with another group of residents. One Friday afternoon recently, our staff members from India cooked afternoon tea for all the staff and residents. We enjoyed small florets of cauliflower and spinach and onion balls dipped in chickpea batter and deep fried. They were very yummy, along with other delights. Afterwards we watched Indian dancing on the big screen and a special treat was some of the residents having henna tattoos artistically painted on their hands.

Mavis had her hand tattooed with henna, an Indian tradition.

Narromine CWA and the art of crochet

By SHARON BONTHUYS LYN Newton shared her crochet skills with Narromine Country Women’s Association members at their meeting on August 12.

The CWA members enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the craft under Lyn’s expert tuition. Several members already crochet and were busy at work when the Narromine Star visited and took these

pictures. Lyn also had examples of her work on display. Historians disagree about the origins of crochet, with some stating it began in the 16th century and others as

late as the 19th century. What they do agree on is the word deriving from the French term ‘croche’, meaning ‘hook’. The special ‘shepherd’s hook’ tool used in crochet can manipulate a range of products in-

cluding wool, yarn, and string.

The CWA highly recommends crochet as a craft that anyone can learn.

Telestroke service now at Dubbo AS National Stroke Week draws to a close (August 8-14, 2022), the successful rollout of the $21.7 million NSW Telestroke Service at Dubbo is being celebrated. Member for Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders, said the NSW Telestroke Service is an important weapon in the ﬁght against stroke. “Stroke is a time-critical medical emergency that can kill up to 1.9 million brain cells per minute, so every second counts,” Mr Saunders said. “Having access to Telestroke is a huge boost for our

local patients and clinicians. “The innovative service provides 24/7 access to life-saving stroke diagnosis and treatment, connecting patients and local doctors with specialist stroke physicians via video consultation.” Every year, around 19,000 residents in NSW have a stroke and more than a third of people hospitalised for stroke in NSW are from regional, remote or rural areas. The F.A.S.T test is an easy way to spot the signs of stroke. Look for these things: f Face – has their mouth drooped?

f Arms – can the person lift both arms? f Speech – is the person’s speech slurred? Do they understand you? f Time – is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away. Funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments, the NSW Telestroke Service connects 23 rural and regional hospitals across NSW with a network of virtual specialist stroke doctors, managed by the Prince of Wales Hospital in collaboration with various agencies.

CSIRO research confirms new mouse baiting regime effective NEW research led by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has found mouse populations can be reduced significantly by doubling the amount of zinc phosphide (ZnP) in grain baits used for broadscale agriculture. The results of an in-field study, published in Wildlife Research, confi rm those of earlier laboratory studies which demonstrated a lower sensitivity of mice to ZnP than previously reported.

The studies were undertaken in response to concerns from farmers, who suspected mouse baits were not as effective as they needed to be to control mice in broadscale agriculture, particularly when mouse numbers were high. With investment from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), CSIRO researchers embarked on a series of studies to re-assess the sensitivity of mice to ZnP in the laboratory and the

effectiveness of a new bait formulation in the field. CSIRO researcher Mr Steve Henry said, “These results highlighted the importance of every bait grain needing to be a lethal dose as there is no guarantee that mice will fi nd and consume more than one baited grain, and consumption of a sub-lethal dose leads to aversion. “The fi nal study conducted near Parkes... confi rmed that the 50 g ZnP/kg grain bait was

able to achieve more than an 80 per cent reduction in mouse populations more than 90 per cent of the time,” he said. GRDC Pests Manager Dr Leigh Nelson said “I would still encourage farmers to implement a suite of best practice management tactics to protect crops from mice.” During the height of the 2021 mouse plague, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority granted an emergency use permit to

increase the concentration of ZnP to 50g ZnP/kg grain bait products based on CSIRO’s laboratory research. The efficacy research produced consistent, scientifically rigorous results and followed the principles deﬁ ned by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines and was approved by CSIRO’s Wildlife, Livestock and Laboratory Animal Ethics Committee.

RSL observes Vietnam Day at Cenotaph today Contributed by DAVID TAYLOR, PRESIDENT, NARROMINE RSL SUB-BRANCH AUGUST 18 is Vietnam Day which commemorates those Australians who served in Vietnam. This date was chosen because it is also the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966, in which 108 men, including three New Zealanders, of 6 RAR D Company, encountered an enemy force composed of at least 1000 men. So they were outnumbered by at least 10 to one and possibly much more. This was an intensely fierce battle, with all those involved fighting for their lives. At the end of the battle, there were 18 Australian and New Zealand dead, with 24 wounded. In the early stages of this battle, these men were on their own. They were fighting for their lives and each one depended on the other. To quote a common saying from today, “they were all in it together”. They were supported later on by artillery fi re, and some helicopter pilots who, against orders, flew into monsoonal rain which offered very low visibility, to resupply

the company with ammunition. Subsequently, units of APCs were able to rout the enemy. Although much is made of the grit, tenacity, and battle-ﬁeld skillset of D Company, they almost certainly would have been overcome without the support of their fellows. In our community, be it local or national, let’s take that same attitude, that same spirit, that wants to support our fellow Australians, and let’s stand together. Let’s not think we can do it all alone. Not just in times of war, but in everyday life, let’s stand together. Let us appreciate each other, no matter who “each other” may be. To commemorate Vietnam Day and Long Tan Day, the Narromine Subbranch of the RSL will be holding a short wreath-laying ceremony at the Cenotaph on Thursday, August 18 at 11am. May we remember those who served in the Vietnam War, and indeed in every war, with gratitude, and let us uphold our neighbours in their times of need. Lest we forget.

Trangie tennis coach starts this week By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Trangie Tennis Club are excited to announce that they have secured a coach to work with its juniors for a six-week stint, starting this week. Funded through the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant program, the coach will travel from Dubbo to Trangie for Monday afternoon training for the remainder of Term 3, said club spokesperson Maddie Bretag. The club had been searching for a coach for several months and are thrilled to be able to acquire the services of a newly qualiﬁed coach, Belinda, through the grant, Maddie said. The community-minded club has taken into consideration other extra-curricular activities taking place in town on Mondays in planning their coaching sessions. “We have tried our best to work around pre-existing commitments [like dance classes] so that the sessions are available to the majority of kids,” she said. Senior kids will train earlier and the junior kids (who may also be dancing that afternoon) will train later. The adult competition will take place in the evening after the juniors have completed their training. Engaging a coach has been an important focus of the Trangie

Tennis Club, whose dedicated volunteers have stepped in to fi ll this role without formal coaching experience. “Currently [our training is] volunteer-run by some of our committee members. None of us have formal tennis coaching experience so provide as much knowledge and skill-development that we can so kids in Trangie don’t miss out on the opportunity to grow their tennis skills,” she said. “All of [our volunteers] are full-time employees who juggle a lot of commitments to be able to provide the service for the community. “Through our kids programs we have seen some amazing improvement and development of skill in our young players so it will be super valuable to have a legitimate coach come and run these sessions to provide some professional direction in their game,” Maddie said. “We are so grateful to be able to provide a qualified coach to the Trangie community as tennis continues to grow in popularity. “We have been able to keep our membership costs as low as possible to ensure [members] have access to as many coaching opportunities as possible.” The fi rst training session with the newly acquired coach was held in Trangie on August 15.

Action at St John’s Parish School

Students creating their own Flat Stanley.

Kindergartener learning maths.

Do you recognise this self-portrait?

Contributed by ST JOHN’S PARISH SCHOOL, TRANGIE.

IT’S been a busy few weeks at St John’s Parish School, Trangie. Here’s a snapshot of the ac-tion. What a fabulous afternoon we had with NAIDOC activities recently. The students planted a native garden, painted rocks for the garden and created their own individual t-shirt. A huge thank you to all the staff but especially Miss Keelan. Spotlight on year one, two and three: this term our unit is Flat out! We had a special guest arrive in our classroom on the fi rst day of term. His name is Stanley Lambchop. Stanley is a character from the novel “Flat Stanley” by Jeff Brown. This book recounts the adventures of Stanley Lambchop after he is squashed flat by a bulletin board while sleeping. He survives and decides to make the best of being flat. Here are some of our sneaky ideas of what fun we could have if we were as flat as Stanley. Kindergarten: In mathematics, we have been revising our numbers and extending on what we already know. We have been learning about number patterns and how to make our own patterns. This is helping us with skip counting. We also learnt about self-portraits and dis-cussed what a self portrait includes. We then used a mirror to look at all our features. The class had a go at drawing their own self-portrait to be added to a watercolour background. Thanks to teachers Miss Lauren Keelan (K/1), Miss Tracey Klintworth and Mrs Jada Andrews (1/2/3), and Mrs Gina McKay (4/5/6).

Action from TCS Contributed by TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL BARDEN Park Dubbo was the stage for the 12 students that participated in the Gobondery/NARRAF Athletics Carnival. With a minimal number of students this year, we still participated with conﬁdence, enthusiasm, and pride, that Trangie Central School pride. Harry Miles, Harry Wells, Dixie Morton, Amelia Hall, Amelia Smith, Shelby Nolan, Kairi Tat-tersall, Matilda Seccombe, Eli Clarke, Pippa Brennan, Nevaeh Adams and Addison Bennett were a prime example of exceptional behaviour and high quality performances, whilst hav-ing fun and trying their best. Mrs Anderson, Mr Thomsett and several students undertook training in setting up, main-taining and using the aquaponics system. This was organised by the Royal Flying Doctors as a part of the Grow Program; an outreach community program to support the growing of fresh produce in rural areas.

CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.

Gilbert’s mullet is about to go... Contributed by CATH CHAPMAN, NARROMINE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ONE of our year 3 students, Gilbert Maxwell, requested a meeting with the principal, Mrs Debbie Robertson, a couple of weeks ago to pitch his idea to raise funds for the Narromine Cancer Support Group. He has decided to cut his much loved mullet off ! Gilbert has a goal to raise $1,000 for this charity and Narromine Christian School is very grateful to assist in this very worthy cause. The stu-

dents will have an out of uniform day for a gold coin donation and ice cream cones will be available for the students to purchase during their lunch break. If any of our local community would like to help Gilbert reach, or perhaps exceed his goal, donations are most welcome and can be left at the school office. Gilbert’s big day will be held at school during Chapel on August 26 at 2pm. All community, family and friends are most welcome to join us for this special event.

Sport GERRIES GOLF

Win for Green

Contributed by NORM LEWIS

LAST Wednesday, August 10, some 13 players turned up for the weekly Gerries golf competition. Improved weather conditions no doubt helped the rise in numbers. The course was in good order following the recent rain and is evidenced by the top scores returned. Two scores of 25 points were returned from Ron Green and Mal McIntyre. Once again, the count back was used to decide the winner and it went to Ron Green. Well done, Ron, and bad luck to Mal. Bruce Mitchell cleaned out the NTP jackpot pool taking home three golf balls for his effort. It was a battle for the NAGA prize. “El Supremo” Terry Willis thought he had it in the bag until Bob Fletcher came along with 15 points to collect the very popular prize. After the golf presentation, it was off to the pool table where once again there was only one match. This was between Greg Kearines and Chris Harding against Bob Fletcher and Terry Willis. As usual, there was conjecture over the toss and as soon as this was settled Kearines and Harding went on to win the match with only one ball left on the table. Kearines and Harding were declared pool champs for the week. The comp on August 17 was on the back nine. Once again there was a draw for a Vege tray and our golf winner, Ron Green, was hot favourite to take out the prize. Results next week. That’s it for another week, see you all on the tee.

Bowls action at Narromine Contributed by RICK BOHM

Contributed by DALE HARDING LAST Wednesday we played the second round of the foursomes championships. Scratch winners were Vicki Gainsford and Betty Berryman with 18 to scratch. Handicap winners were Jenny Ward and Jenny Fitzgerald with 159 net. Runners-up were Maida O’Malley and Jeanette O’Brien with 169 net. There was no golf on Saturday because of the inclement weather. We also played the veterans championships and this Saturday we are playing a round and putting competition for trophies donated by Fran Crawford and Soul Food.

JUST when you thought you knew all the answers, they changed the questions. The pennant season had another twist to its “tail” this week with numerous changes to the squad due to COVID. Then, just when the lads were about to jet off to Dubbo, play was cancelled due to the wet weather and will be played in mid-September. The good news is Bourke Bowling Club will pay us a visit for a Round 3 pennant clash this weekend. Bowls action this week saw four quarter ﬁ nal clashes in the Major/Minor Pairs. Bill West and Ben Clark were in scintillating form but ran into a roadblock in the shape of the “Barber” and “Sully”. The ﬁ nal scoreline to Bill Wilkie and Don Sullivan of 29/08 certainly was a change from last week’s effort. In the second match, James Coen and Kevin Rider had too many answers for

Paul Hilder and John Edwards winning comfortably 28/12. It was a similar story in the Clash between Ricardo and Robbie Stanford, who were up against Clifton Harris and Danny Carnevale, notching up a comfortable win, 28/11. The last clash between Des Lincoln and David McNair and opponents Steve Buttsworth and Bruce Powyer was no doubt the one most of the window tappers kept an eye on. At 15-all with just the one end to play testified to this, and with a score of 2 on the last end to Des and Dave, they were the pair to advance to next week’s semi-fi nals. So that sets up nicely this week’s championship matches: Kevin Rider and James Coen tackle Robbie and Ricardo Stanford in the fi rst semi, and Don Sullivan and Bill Wilkie take on David McNair and Des Lincoln in the second semi. A match that has over 300 years of experience to call upon. No doubt the window tappers will be in po-

sition early. The weather kept a few of the regulars away from social bowls, and only 10 hardy souls lined up. Bruce Powyer, Des Lincoln and Greg Wright scored 16 points in their match against Noel Delboux, Bob Christoff and Danny Carnevale running out comfortable winners 27/07. The pairs clash was little more competitive but in the end Kerry Martin and local visitor John Silk snuck over the line against Col Hume and Mick Edwards. With just the one prize pool available it was Bruce, Des and Greg who took home the “Choccys”. The nomination sheet for Gub Thorne day in September is up on the notice board for those wanting to enter. That’s it for me for this week, no more mentioning that football team I support. Even the Frenchman has decided to go ﬁshing rather than watch this bunch lose another game.

Weather interferes with weekend golf Contributed by NORM LEWIS THE predicted rain which fell over the weekend caused havoc for players wishing to enjoy a game of golf. A small group of intending players arrived for the stableford competition on Saturday afternoon. Those who hit off early were OK but the later ones copped the storm mid-afternoon and were unable to

complete their rounds. Luckily they were able to avoid the hail but the competition had to be cancelled. On Sunday, the previous day’s rain had the course pretty wet but there was an 18-hole Versus Par event played by some really keen golfers. They were able to complete their rounds before another storm hit. The winner on the day was Craig Duff with a score of -1.

Runner up was Tom Hogan -3 on a count back. NTP on the 9th went to Duanne Faro-Mann while Craig Duff won the long drive. All that walking must have Craig in top form. There were no winners of the NTP on the 17th nor were birdies recorded. Next weekend there are two 18-Hole Stablefords and on Sunday it’s the Trangie Open for those who wish to travel

and support the neighbouring Club. Junior Clinic will held as usual on Sunday morning. Last Thursday, the Narromine Vets Open was played. It was a successful day with 40 players representing 10 Clubs taking part. Full details of the event appears elsewhere in this issue of “The Star”. A 9-hole stableford comp was held on Saturday in conjunc-

tion the the main comp and the players were lucky to get home before the rain. Winner was Greg Kearines on 17 points from Greg Barling and Mal McIntyre second on 16 points. There are some changes to the program coming up so it is suggested you should check the Notice Board or contact “Bocky”. That’s it for this week, see you all at the 19th.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES AS an owner, well-known Hunter Valley hotelier Wayne Brown won 28 races last season including ﬁve in the city and also had placings in group and listed races. More recently he has become a licensed trainer at Scone and won the opening race at Parkes on Saturday with the lightly raced ﬁveyear-old mare Triny Bee. Ridden by Michael Heagney, Triny Bee backed from $4.20 to $2.30 landed a substantial betting plunge for connections when leading most of

Parkes, Saturday August 13 the way to win the 800 metres Reliable Conveyer Belt Maiden Plate by two lengths from Good Time Nellie (Ashleigh Stanley, $7) and Charge Away (Serg Lisnyy, $8). “Michael Heagney combines really well with my horses and we have won races at Kununurra (WA), Birdsville (QLD), many tracks in NSW, and at Alice Springs (NT) where we won the major race for mares on cup day this year,” Wayne Brown revealed. “A lot of those wins came when my horses were trained by Rodney Robb at Nyngan,” Wayne added. With his ﬁ rst runner back since suffering a stroke earlier this year, Dubbo trainer

Dar Lunn won the 1300 metres Hankook Tyres Benchmark 50 Handicap with Miss Twenty Two, owned by Guy Mitchell and Rob Pratten from Dubbo. A nice ride by apprentice Jake Barrett saw Miss Twenty Two ($4.40) coming from well back to beat Golden Eclipse (Angela Cooper, $5) and Annie’s Missile (Tiffany Jeffries, $4.20) which led for home. Bookmakers who incurred substantial losses on Triny Bee earlier in the day were dealt another blow when the Luke Pepper, Scone-trained Joyzel scraped home in the 1000 metres Bob Skinner Master Painter Class One Handicap.

Holding a good lead in the straight, Joyzel (Anna Roper, $2.50 favourite) lasted to score by a long head from Khaleej (Teaghan Martin, $2.80) with over three lengths to Rubicon River (Chelsea Ings, $12). Former Bathurst trainer Sarah Murray-Leslie now prepares her team at Goulburn from her Exeter stables and she was back in the central west to win the 1200 metres Railway Hotel Maiden Handicap with Magic Straragems. Owned by Southern Highlands horse breaker David Baxter, Magic Strategems ($4) gave Jake Barrett a winning double when leading throughout to account for Sindagar (Michael Heagney, $2.15 favourite) and Sallista (Tiffany

Jeffries, $4.80). Wyong-based jockey Serg Lisnyy made the trip to Parkes and won the 1000 metres Telescope Tyres and Batteries Benchmark 50 Handicap on the Greg Hook, Rylstone-trained Blue Collar Boy. Yeas And Nays, Renzulli, and Travstar were the leaders turning for home before Blue Collar Boy ($3.40) ﬁ nished strongly from the back of the ﬁeld to beat Tiger King (Ken Dunbar, $8) by a head with Travstar (Ashleigh Stanley, $4) holding on for third. Parkes Jockey Club officials were pleased to announce the charity race meeting raised over two thousand dollars for the McGrath Foundation.

CHRISTIE & HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND 16

Jets climb while Panthers plunge!

Gilgandra Panthers challenge Narromine Jets. PHOTOS: STEPHEN BASHAM PHOTOGRAPHY.

Contributed by BRYSON LUFF NOT only did the Narromine Jets grab the Boronia Cup when they defeated the Gilgandra Panthers in their Round 16 game played Gilgandra last Saturday, they also secured themselves an opportunity to fi nish as minor premiers. That opportunity will present itself this coming Saturday when they host the Cobar Roosters in a top of the table clash at Cale Oval. With two competition rounds remaining, the Jets are one point adrift of the Roosters on the competition ladder, and if they can win next Saturday they will claim the minor premiership because they have a bye in the fi nal round. The Jets pretty much had their game against the Panthers stitched up after thirty minutes of play, having shot out to 16 points to nil lead at that point, crossing for tries in the fi rst, ninth and thirtieth minutes. Played on a heavy track, the home side rarely crossed the halfway mark in the opening forty minutes. With a brief excursion down the other end with five minutes remaining to halftime, they managed to score a converted try to make it 16 to 6. That try was cancelled out

just a couple of minutes later when the Jets’ hooker, and one of their best on the day, Tylah Beer, burrowed over for his second try from close range to make it 20 to 6 when the halftime hooter was blown. The home side did come out showing renewed vigour in the second stanza but were seemingly intent on scoring from kicks, rather than putting the ball through the hands when the Jets’ defence was well and truly stretched on numerous occasions. A rare backline movement by the Panthers resulted in a try to their centre, George Alchin, and at 20 to 12 they were back in the contest with 25 minutes remaining in the game. At this point the momentum was with Gilgandra and they looked as if they could ﬁ nish over the top of the Jets. That momentum seemed to evaporate when the Panthers were penalised for a double movement with ten minutes to go, followed a minute later by the sin-binning of a Panther player. The Jets scored soon after the departure of the Gilgandra player and they went on to register a 26 to 12 win. The loss by the Panthers was indeed a costly one, relegating them from ﬁ rst to third on the

ladder! The fi rst-grade victory by the Jets fi nished off a trifecta of wins for the red and whites after they took out an entertaining reserve grade game 18 to 16 and the league tag fi xture 24 to 16. The loss by the Pink Panthers saw them tumble out of the top four and having to face two teams above them on the ladder in their remaining two games against Coonamble and Baradine. Obviously, the Boronia Cup clash at Narromine this Saturday will have a massive influence on the fi nal pecking order in fi rst grade, but mathematically, any one of the top three sides can still fi nish as minor premiers such is the tightness of the competition. The remaining games for the three teams in contention for the minor premiership are; Cobar vs Narromine (away) and Coonamble (home). Narromine vs Cobar (home) and bye. Gilgandra vs Coonamble (away) and Baradine (home).

Narromine races moved to Cowra Dubai Centre won the Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Gold Cup. PHOTO: TRISTAN PENSON

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE much-anticipated race day at Narromine last weekend was another victim of the recent spate of bad weather impacting the region. It was the third meeting in a row that was unable to proceed on the Narromine track, said Narromine Turf Club (NTC) spokesperson Sarah Masonwells. The Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Gold Cup and other races were transferred to Cowra, two hours

south of Narromine, where the race day went ahead. The cup was won by Dubai Centre, ridden by Michael Heagney and trained by John Rolfe Racing. It was the gelding’s fourth straight win. Organisers thanked the Cowra Jockey Club for taking over the event, and for local supporters who travelled to Cowra for the day. The NTC committee will meet again in mid-September and the impact of recent weather will no doubt be discussed.
