New chamber of commerce for Trangie

By SHARON BONTHUYS FOLLOWING a meeting held on August 23, Trangie now has a chamber of commerce.

Led by local businessman Paul Gartside, the organisation aims to help the town’s businesses increase profitability, to promote Trangie as the perfect place to hold events, and to work with local community and sporting groups.

Attendees at the meeting voted to form the new chamber of commerce and an executive team was elected.

Paul was elected president and looks forward to welcoming local businesses on board as the chamber grows.

With over 2,200 vehicles passing through the town daily, Paul says attracting just a tiny fraction of that traffic to stop and spend money in the town is important.

“If we can get one per cent of this traffic to stop and spend just $10 per vehicle then the township benefits $220 per day, or $1,540 per week,” he said.

He also pointed out the benefits of encouraging touring groups to visit, indicating the Australian Caravan Club spent $24,000 in the town during a one week stay last year.

Bruce Maynard wins the Bob Hawke Landcare Award

By SHARON BONTHUYS LANDCARE’S highest accolade, the 2022 Bob Hawke Landcare Award (BHLA), was won last week by Narromine shire farmer, agricultural innovator and inventor, Bruce Maynard.

Bruce received the prestigious award at the National Landcare Awards Gala Dinner held in Sydney on August 24, which he attended with his wife, Roz. Over 600 people attended the event at the International Convention Centre, which was hosted by landcare advocate and ABC “gardening guru”, Costa Georgiadis.

Bruce was one of ten exceptional landcarers and landcare groups from across Australia to be recognised with esteemed 2022 National Landcare Awards at the event.

The BHLA publicly recognises “individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to natural resource management and sustainable agriculture through being a landcare champion, a remarkable leader and a sustainable farm practice innovator,” the award’s website states.

Rising swim star Brydee Reid pops home for a visit – with her medals

By SHARON BONTHUYS AFTER winning two gold and two silver medals at the School Sports Australia (SSA) national swimming titles in Brisbane last week, scoring personal best (pb) times in the process, rising swim star Brydee Reid popped home to Narromine for a quick visit.

It was a chance for the 12-year-old to catch up with extended family and attend the christening of young relatives at St Augustine’s Catholic Church last Sunday, before heading north again.

Since January 2022, the Reid family have called the Sunshine Coast home.

mance is something that Lance says is common in elite swimmers. He is looking forward to watching Brydee progress further in the future.

So is the Macquarie Yabbies Swim Club, which is closely watching the progress of their homegrown superfish.

“We are very proud of Brydee! Coming from a little club it is a massive achievement to be a medallist on the big stage at school sport nationals,” said club president Krista Morrissey.

“It is a credit to her amazing family, Elayna, Bob and Indi, who made the move in support and for Brydee to live her swimming dream.”

During the family’s whistlestop visit home to Narromine, Brydee managed to catch up with her former school principal, Debbie Robertson, at Narromine Christian School.

“It was lovely to catch up with Brydee and her family [last] week, hearing all about her swimming achievements since leaving Narromine Christian School,” she said.

“Last year Brydee was one of our school captains and she was a wonderful leader alongside her peers.

Her swimming achievements were always a highlight and the students really loved cheering her on from the sidelines.

“Brydee’s humble attitude, caring and kind nature made her a fabulous all-rounder. We are very proud of her achievements and will follow her blossoming swimming career with enthusiasm,” Debbie said.

Brydee may only be 12 but she is focused and already has her eye on her main goal: making the Brisbane Olympics in 2032.

“I’ll be 22-years-old and that’s usually when women [swimmers] are at their peak,” Brydee said.

No doubt there will be many family members and friends from Narromine watching on with pride as Brydee continues to progress as she grows, and chases her swimming dreams.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, September 1, 2022

Bruce Maynard wins the Bob Hawke Landcare Award From page 1 He also developed the Stress Free Stockmanship competencies, and pioneered a new field of animal behavioural science called Self Herding alongside Dr Dean Revell.

“The biggest challenge facing Australian farmers today is to integrate sustainable environmental practices with a practical, profitable production system. I’m proud to accept the Bob Hawke Landcare Award for making that challenge a little bit easier,” Bruce said.

“No Kill Cropping is a game changer for sustainable farming because it lets farmers change easily and quickly between a grazing enterprise and cropping enterprise in the one paddock.

“I really believe that farmers have the opportunity to work together to address some of the greatest pressures facing us globally such as climate change and species decline. I hope that my work will inspire others to begin their own sustainable farming journey and contribute to a greener future for Australian farming,” he said.

The federal Minister for Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry, Murray Watt, said Bruce was a worthy winner of the $50,000 prize, which is funded by a grant to Landcare Australia under the Smart Farms: Building Landcare Community and Capacity program.

“Bruce exemplifies the valuable work being done by farmers who are taking environmental sustainability seriously and making innovative improvements,” Minister Watt said.

“For 35 years he has invented, implemented and extended regenerative agricultural systems on his

family farm and across Australia.

“He has shown incredible leadership, whether it be planting native shrubs, trees and multi-purpose crops, utilising native grasses or managing grazing for livestock methane reduction.

“He has done this all while improving stock handling methods to reduce stress on the animals,” Minister Watt said.

In accepting his award, Bruce acknowledged some of the many people whose support played a part in his success.

“Tom Powell from Narromine, who is involved in Red Dust Healing, is an Aboriginal man who literally saves lives on a daily basis. The inspiration of Dr Dean Revell, who I developed self-herding techniques with, and Professor Fred Provenza, internationally, which opened our eyes to a whole new world of possibilities.”

He also acknowledged the work of the other two BHLA nominees, Dr Mary Retallack from South Australia and Geoff Bassett from NSW. Bruce told the audience that passive chemical exposure was something that continued to impact landcare work throughout Australia.

“It has impacted us personally,” he said, indicating that a large number of the 200,000 trees his family has planted on their Narromine shire property “are now dead or dying, through forces outside our control.”

He hopes that winning the award will help him address the most pressing challenge to Landcare efforts that is occurring from passive chemical exposure.

Bruce told the gathering he would dedicate the next

He told the Narromine Star that the BHLA prizemoney will go toward establishing a broader internet platform to extend the knowledge and practice of subjects such as No Kill Cropping, Stress Free Stockmanship and Self Herding.

“It is very humbling to receive Landcare’s highest honour. Even though it is an individual award it really must reflect on the large number of people who have supported,

encouraged and guided the progress that we have made,” he said.

Bruce said his family were really pleased to see him win the award.

“They have collectively worked hard and sacrificed much over the years toward the goals of landscape restoration and extension of knowledge beyond our farm and district.

“The systems and methods trialled here at Narromine have spread around Australia and internationally, making a real difference, and that makes me very happy.”

Dandaloo Street level crossing: remedial works

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) started remedial works on the Dandaloo Street level crossing on August 26. The crossing has been a point of contention with local residents for some time.

The remedial works have lessened the gaps around the tracks across the road, making for a smoother ride across the tracks. The gaps had caused issues for motorists who complained about damage to tyres and vehicle undercarriages, and the risk to cyclists and motorcycles.

The pedestrian crossings on both sides of the tracks are yet to be completed. With the surrounding surfaces uneven and broken, this has caused issues for disabled and infi rm residents seeking to cross the tracks.

The Narromine Star will continue to monitor the remedial works on the pedestrian crossings.

Pedestrian crossings at the site still need work to make crossing safer Remedial works have resolved some issues at the level crossing. for disabled and infirm residents.

Overpass planned for Tomingley Road IR site

By SHARON BONTHUYS

AN overpass is proposed for Tomingley Road near the intersection with Pinedene Road as part of the Inland Rail development at Narromine.

Known as a “grade separated interface”, the overpass will carry Tomingley Road traffic up and over the proposed railway track that will cross underneath. The overpass will improve safety and remove delays to traffic at the site that would be encountered if a level crossing was constructed at the site.

The overpass is one of four to be constructed in relation to the Inland Rail Narromine to Narrabri (N2N) project.

The others will be constructed at Harris Gates (Olympic Highway), Tichborne (Newell Highway) and Curban (Castlereagh Highway).

The Transport for NSW (TFNSW) grade separation website states: “once Inland Rail is operational, the frequency, speed and length of freight trains along the line will increase.

“Up to 40 double stacked train movements are expect-

“This project will investigate options to ensure the Inland Rail network crosses the NSW road network safely and efficiently at the four priority

locations.”

TFNSW Director West, Alistair Lunn told the Narromine Star: “[TFNSW] is planning ways to ensure the best safety around intersections which will cross with the future Inland Rail. “[TFNSW] representatives

regularly meet with landholders and stakeholders to discuss plans for existing and future infrastructure projects.

“The intention of these meetings is to introduce the project team to property owners close to the project and understand their needs and

On August 26, staff from TFNSW met with landholders and stakeholders directly impacted by the construction of the railway track leading to the proposed Tomingley Road crossing site.

The proposed time frame for construction of the overpass, the cost of the project, and any potential impacts to other local roads is unknown at this stage.

An Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) spokesperson told the Narromine Star: “The Australian Government and the [NSW] Government have together committed to support the identification and planning for additional grade separated interfaces with Inland Rail. “[TFNSW] is responsible for prioritising and delivering the road over rail grade separations. This is being finalised with the Australian Government and will be announced in due course.

“ARTC is committed to working with the NSW Government, key stakeholders and the community to continue to move these types of projects forward.”

By SHARON BONTHUYS SENIORS in Narromine have recently enjoyed learning pottery thanks to an activity supported by Narromine Shire Council.

Experienced potter Gordon Leeds shared his knowledge and skill with seniors over four sessions at his studio last month.

Gordon fi rst started doing pottery and ce-

ramics way back in 1990, and after a break and change of direction, returned to it late last year.

Cath Brown and Brandon McDougall were busy trying their hand at different items when the Narromine Star visited the studio on August 30. Cath was making a flower while Brandon was making a large jug.

Book Week: Time out with Rebecca Timmis

By SHARON BONTHUYS EMERGING Australian author-illustrator Rebecca Timmis is celebrating a huge year. The busy mum of three has published a series of four children’s novels with top publisher Allen & Unwin in just 12 months. She has also produced her own animated game and other merchandise to support the series.

The Narromine Star took time out last week to interview the talented writer and artist, who lives in southeast Queensland.

“I have wanted to be an author-illustrator since I was old enough to read.

I love being immersed in stories, no matter the media, but there is something special about books,” Rebecca said.

“I studied animation at university and went on to work in design and web development, but I never stopped writing and drawing.”

Like many writers, it has taken some time for Rebecca to actually “break through” as a writer. Her fi rst published novel for older readers, “The Brothers of Turoc”, was shortlisted for the Text Prize in 2011 and made the quarter finals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest in 2012.

“It’s a tough industry to break into but quitting was never an option for me! I’m so glad I never gave up,” Rebecca said.

Ford Street Publishing asked her to illustrate a book by Krys Saclier called “Super Nova” in 2018, which was later nominated for an Aurealis Award. This led to further collaborations and Rebecca landed an agent in 2020 who helped her secure her contract for the four-book, sea-themed Mertales series with Albert Street Books, a division of Allen & Unwin.

“Seeing MerTales in actual bookstores as well as libraries, and then in the hands of readers, has been a lifelong dream come true,” Rebecca said.

Centred around mermaid friends Pearl, Shell, Coral and Sandy, the Mertales’ books explore many themes including friendship, health, and the environment. Set in an undersea village called Cockleshell Cove, each of the four stories focuses on a situation

facing a mermaid character.

“Once I had the characters crystal clear in my mind through writing the books, it felt like a natural progression to create the merchandise and develop the game. I am a little besotted with the characters – they are very real to me!”

Rebecca is currently working on another sea-themed project for Albert Street Books, due out in mid-2023.

“I can’t say too much, but stay tuna’d in because it’s a series with BITE!” Rebecca believes that our central west lakes and cowals may provide a home for freshwater mermaids.

“I absolutely believe in freshwater mermaids! I think they would be a little smaller than ocean mermaids, so they can navigate through narrower waterways.

“And of course keeping lakes and cowals clean is very important. Once a land-locked waterway is polluted, mermaids and wildlife have nowhere safe to swim,” she said.

As her books become increasingly popular, Rebecca is in demand for speaking engagements which she manages around a busy home life with three sons aged 12, 6 and 3. The boys also provide great feedback, she said.

“I love to use lots of puns and dad jokes in my books, which the 6-yearold [Luke] thinks are hilarious. If the 12-year-old [Hayden] rolls his eyes at one of my jokes, I know it’s a cracker!

“If the boys are excited by a story idea and want to know more, I know I’m onto a winner.”

For Book Week this year, Rebecca judged a book cover design competition for students, and presented their prizes during the school’s Book Week parade.

“I’ve [also] been running workshops for Year 6 students on plotting exciting stories and drawing monsters, and also did a picture book reading for some very sweet pre-prep students at a local day care.

“As an author, you really can’t beat Book Week!”

The Mertales series can be found on the bookshelves in the Narromine shire libraries.

The Mertales series is available in local libraries and bookstores.

Ivanhoe Multi Service Outlet now open

Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Campaign to fund Macquarie Home Stay expansion

Macquarie Home Stay is a vital service for people throughout western NSW, providing a much-needed home away from home for those who need to travel to Dubbo for medical care.

Prior to the election, I made a promise that if re-elected, the Coalition would provide $2.45 million in funding for a 26-unit expansion, to help meet the growing demand for accommodation as more people travel to Dubbo for medical treatment.

Of course, now we are on the opposition benches, but the need for this expansion hasn’t changed. That is why last week I invited my Nationals colleague, Shadow Assistant Minister for Regional Development, Dr Anne Webster, to Dubbo to visit the accommodation facility to see for herself the importance of expanding this service for patient care in Dubbo.

Dr Webster was very impressed, and together, we will advocate for this project back in Canberra, doing what we

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo I’VE been incredibly saddened by recent reports on the rates of mental health issues and even suicides among young people in our communities.

Suicide is the leading cause of death in young people aged 15-24 in Australia – and we know that in rural areas, it’s even worse.

Every death by suicide is a tragedy, both for the person and for the people around them who are left devastated – their families, friends, and communities.

We know there are different factors at play that affect people’s mental health in the regions compared to those

It was wonderful to join Central Darling Shire Council General Manager Greg Hill, Administrator Bob Stewart and staff, as well as members of the NSW Rural Fire Service, LiveBetter and the community to open the new Ivanhoe Multi Service Outlet last week.

This new purpose-built building is a one-stop government shop for members of the remote Ivanhoe community, providing access to Central Darling Shire Council, Centrelink and LiveBetter services, in addition to being a base for the RFS and a community meeting space.

It’s so important that residents are able to access these services locally, and this building will be able to be used by the community for years to come.

I’m pleased the former Coalition Government supported this project, providing $450,000 through the Building Better Regions Fund.

It was an absolute privilege to last week catch up with Brendan Cullen from Men-

indee who has recently returned home after swimming the English Channel.

I spoke about Brendan’s achievement in Parliament earlier this month, but I was very honoured to meet him in person and hear all about his motivations, his training, and the swim itself.

Brendan was motivated to start swimming because he wanted to fi nd a way to manage his mental health, particularly during the drought.

As a result, he became an ambassador for Lifeline Broken Hill, an organisation that I’m very familiar with, which provides wonderful services to the people of the Far West.

Brendan carried the mantle

Perhaps the highlight of my travels last week was getting

in metropolitan areas. In recent years, droughts, floods, bushfi res, and the COVID-19 pandemic have put additional stress on our communities.

Suicide is a complex issue, and requires a coordinated approach involving local communities, the private sector, and government.

The NSW Government is enhancing crisis support services to help prevent suicide among children, young people, and adults in NSW. In the 2021-22 NSW Budget, we announced $109.5 million over four years to support 25 new community-based Safeguards – Child and Adolescent Mental Health Response teams across the state.

These new teams will support children and adolescents who are experiencing acute mental distress, and their families or carers. The teams will provide assessment and brief interventions to resolve immediate crisis, build resilience and coping skills, and

link them to ongoing mental health services if required.

We’re also funding and implementing the Towards Zero Suicides 15 initiatives, which are carefully designed to work together to prevent suicides occurring in our communities: f Youth Aftercare will provide an intensive community based, developmentally appropriate, non-clinical support for young people with active risk of suicide and their families or carers. f Safe Havens (Alternatives to Emergency Department Presentations) delivering 20 new services across NSW. f Suicide Prevention Outreach Teams that will provide proactive care by engaging with people where they live and provide care pathways to other services. f Suicide Prevention Training to public facing staff across the NSW Government service system including organisations that support highrisk young people. f Aftercare services to people

after discharge from hospital following a suicide attempt. f Building on Resilience in Aboriginal Communities, where 12 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations across NSW have been supported to deliver local, culturally appropriate suicide prevention activities. f Community Gatekeeper Training that provides suicide prevention skills training to community gatekeepers who will be able to support individuals including young people experiencing suicidal crisis. f 12 Community Wellbeing Collaboratives in communities at high risk of suicide.

We’ve also invested $23.5 million to expand Lifeline and Kids Helpline (2019-20 to 2022-23): f $5.5 million to support Kids Helpline to deliver an extra 18,400 contacts per year via telephone, web chat and email.

It’s part of the small school’s Hermidale Future Farmers project, which sees all seven students involved in the entire cropping process. It’s not only about teaching them about all aspects of farming, but it’s helping to equip them with valuable skills for life.

I’m very impressed with what they’re doing and I’m looking forward to seeing the crop develop. Well done to everyone involved and best of luck with the upcoming harvest.

MAYOR’S AYOR’S ESSAGE MESSAGE Comment mment by CR CRAIG DAVIES,, Narromine rromine re mayorr Shire

Contributed by CRAIG DAVIES AND still the rain keeps coming. The third wet year in a row is causing all sorts of problems for the shire, farmers, businesses, bus lines and all layers of our communities.

It creates a dilemma in terms of roads’ maintenance and the issue won’t be alleviated until such time as conditions dry out.

It brings into the conversation the outflows from Burrendong Dam that are so vital in keeping the towns safe in these uncertain times. I am fortunate to have the support of two very experienced river farmers in ensuring the interests of Narromine in particular are kept in focus at all Macquarie River Flood reference group meetings.

Mayor’s message: rain, roads, rail and more It is through the functions of this organisation that outflows are debated and agreed upon despite the varying priorities that exist within.

The group is represented by landholders from the Macquarie Marshes to the Councils upstream that are reliant upon the flood mitigation zone for protection from floods for our towns. It also includes SES, environmental groups and Water for NSW. We will continue to push for the dam to be brought down to allow maximum airspace in the flood mitigation zone until such time as the forecasts become more favourable and less likely to result in flooding.

It really is a balancing act.

Back to our roads and I sincerely hope there exists a level of understanding and patience in regards to our road network. Continuous rain is clearly preventing the maintenance program from being implemented and roads will be a continuing focus for the next few years until they return to an acceptable level.

Please don’t hesitate to contact your local member and lobby for road funding as it appears there are no potholes in the air between Dubbo and Sydney. Funding is the key and good weather the opportunity to resume this important program.

Hopefully the upgrades to the Narromine-Dubbo road can gain some momentum as they appear to be taking an extraordinary amount of time for the gains made. By all accounts, Narromine is just another Council experiencing the roads issue and the whole state is in the grips of a pothole hell.

The exciting news surrounding the start of the Materials Distribution Centre (MDC) 8 kms south of Narromine was made following our last council meeting a fortnight ago.

Located between Craigie Lea Lane and the Narwonah Siding Road, this centre will form the loading facilities for the entire greenfield project of the Narromine-to-Narrabri Inland Rail section.

This 306-kilometre stretch

of Inland Rail is the longest new section of line and will all be built out of the Narromine Centre. Approx 2.1 million tonnes of ballast, 580,000 concrete railway sleepers and 40,000 tonnes of steel rail line will be loaded on this site to the rail track laying machine due to make Narromine its home for three to four years once the MDC is completed in January next year.

This will see the start of the next chapter in the history of Narromine shire and bring the jobs that will bring significant benefits to our retail sector, ensure our schools are growing and provide hundreds of jobs across the shire that will see the technology sector play an important and growing part of the shire’s economy.

My battle with the State Government over the destructive nature of the biodiversity offsets scheme continues in earnest as it destroys investment and jobs opportunities across all of rural and regional NSW. The National Party has done nothing to alleviate

Gilbert loses his mullet thanks to Mr Feo. Contributed by CATH CHAPMAN, NARROMINE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ON Friday, August 26, Gilbert Maxwell shaved his much loved mullet off for a cause close to his heart. With outstanding school and community support, Gilbert was able to raise $3,374.95 for Narromine Cancer Support Group.

Gilbert and his Aunty Jodi came up with the idea, and from a brief conversation it grew into an event to remember.

Gilbert organised with his principal, Mrs Debbie Robertson, to have an out-of-uniform day and he roped his Mum, Caroline Maxwell, and grandmother, Fiona Prentice, in to sell ice-creams at lunch.

Gilbert’s mullet came off during Narromine Christian School Chapel in front of his peers, family, school and the wider community. Although a little nervous, he was really proud of his achievement.

He commented on how happy it made him feel to be able to give so much money to the local Cancer Support Group. He knows his Aunty Jodi would be super proud of him.

what is simply a tax on development in our regions. For a political party that portrays itself as being supportive of the bush, its actions defy belief.

The legislation is irreparably flawed unless a cap is imposed on the cost being imposed by this insidious tax on development in regional NSW. Thousands of jobs are being lost and the bush is being asked to pay for the development that has occurred in previous times along the coast and in the cities.

Again, please ensure our local member is aware of the opposition to the legislation in our shire and electorate. I am meeting with both the Planning and Environment Ministers later in the month to ensure they are aware of the impact this tax is having and the likely political repercussions come March next year.

When rural areas have an opportunity to shine and the government imposes taxes that inhibit these opportunities we need to either change the legislation or the government.

Regional, State & National news Committee calls for changes to compulsory land acquisition for major transport projects ON August 10, the NSW Legislative Council’s Portfolio Committee No. 6 – Transport handed down its report on the acquisition of land in relation to major transport projects.

Committee chair, Abigail Boyd MLC, said, “The NSW Government has undertaken an unprecedented number of transport infrastructure projects in recent years.

“While public infrastructure is necessary to ensure the needs of New South Wales residents are met, this intensity of infrastructure pipeline has brought to the fore the systemic issues being experi-

enced by property owners subject to land acquisition by government entities.”

The committee received extensive evidence from residents, business owners and legal representatives who were angry and dismayed by the refusal of statutory authorities to negotiate in good faith, the chair said.

“The lack of transparency, questionable valuation practices and excessive time delays have left property owners unable to move forward with their lives, often resulting in their displacement from their communities and support net-

works,” she said.

“With few avenues for recourse, owners are forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars in trying to obtain a reasonable price for their property while experiencing massive upheaval to their lives.

“The current application of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 is weighted too heavily in favour of acquiring authorities and this power imbalance must be rectified,” the chair said.

Among other significant reforms, the committee recommends the introduction of a

“reinstatement” approach to calculating the value of compensation, the discontinuation of the use of non-disclosure agreements, a review of the solatium payments and hardship acquisitions, and an independent review into land acquisition in relation to each of the major transport projects that were examined in the inquiry.

“Together with an independent review of existing projects, there is a need for a continuous review process to be implemented to ensure that in the future acquiring authorities are complying with legis-

lative frameworks, with those reviews measuring and reporting on the experiences of people subjected to the acquisition process,” Ms Boyd said.

Among the committee’s recommendations, the committee has called for an investigation into the workings of the office of the Valuer General NSW, given delays experienced by property owners waiting for determinations, and an inquiry into issues surrounding Sydney Science Park.

Information about the inquiry, including the committee’s report, is available on the committee’s website.

Proposed new poultry standards phase out cages AN Independent Poultry Panel has fi nalised the development of proposed new Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for Poultry, which were made public last week.

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Murray Watt said the proposed standards balanced contemporary animal welfare science with feedback from an extensive engagement process that was part of the independent review.

“These standards cover a range of welfare requirements for poultry including chickens, ducks, pigeons and emus,” Minister Watt said.

“It also proposes the phase out of conventional chicken cages, commonly known as battery cages, over the next 10

to 15 years.

“States and Territory governments must now look at the standards with all agriculture ministers to consider next steps by early 2023.

“It is my hope that all states and territories will work together to ensure nationally consistent regulations for poultry.

“This will provide certainty for industry, allow producers to plan for the future and assure the public that Australia’s poultry standards balance contemporary science and community expectations.”

Other proposed changes include the provision of water to all ducks, environmental stimulation for breeding chickens, and improvements to the minimum light intensity and required periods of darkness,

ventilation, and temperature parameters for all poultry species.

Minister Watt said there was strong interest in the standards following 167,000 public submissions during the consultation period.

“The poultry standards are part of a suite of animal welfare standards and guidelines that aim to harmonise animal welfare legislation and provide clarity and consistency for industry and consumers,” he said.

“The new standards will also assure Australia’s trading partners that we have strong standards of animal welfare.”

National Farmers Federation (NFF) CEO, Tony Mahar said, “We’re disappointed by the new Poultry Standards

and Guidelines released by the Federal Government.

“Industry supports ongoing improvement in animal welfare outcomes. But these processes must be led by science and consider the impacts on farmers and consumers.

“The rushed phase-out of conventional cages over just 10 years, with no plans announced for compensation or support, could spell the end for many family-owned egg producers,” he said.

“Eggs are an affordable source of protein and a muchloved staple in the weekly shop. Both affordability and supply will suffer if this rushed phase-out goes ahead.

“The egg industry is already struggling with spiralling costs. We’re seeing these challenges manifest in egg short-

ages on supermarket shelves.

Now the plan is to worsen this, by forcing farmers to discard cages that in many cases they’re still paying off.

“Significant consultation and jurisdictional harmonisation efforts with producers must now occur,” Mr Mahar said.

In the 2021-2022 fi nancial year, Australian hens laid 6.3 billion eggs, worth $1.1 billion in supermarket sales. The annual value of chicken meat production is over $2.85 billion. Australians consume more chicken meat per capita than any other kind of meat.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for helping I would like to thank everyone who stopped to help me when I fell over while out walking last Friday.

I was crossing at the intersection of Burraway and Manildra Streets with my walker when my foot caught and I fell head over turkey!

I am 89 years old, but I am okay and didn’t hurt myself.

Thank you to all the kind souls. I am amazed that people still help other people like that.

Dubbo’s new lion clubs Imani, Amali, Mara. PHOTO: RICK STEVENS. TARONGA Western Plains Zoo’s three female lion cubs have officially been dubbed with the purrfect names to take their pride of place in Dubbo.

Amali, Mara and Imani are the new cubs on the block, pawing their way into the hearts of guests visiting the Lion Pride Lands.

The zoo’s lion keepers researched names that paid homage to Masai Mara National

Park in Kenya – a stronghold for wild African lion populations. Those names were then put to the public in a naming competition, with a clear preference in votes for Amali, meaning ‘Hope’. A generous Taronga Foundation donor, Macquarie Anglican Grammar School, Dubbo named the second cub Imani meaning ‘Faith’. The lion keepers completed the naming with Mara, a tribute to the National Park in Kenya.

Lenny finds his fur-ever home

By SHARON BONTHUYS SEVERAL weeks ago, poor cat Lenny was found dumped in a hessian bag on the side of the road in Narromine by a local resident.

Another resident, who does not wish to be named, took over caring for Lenny and was unable to trace the owner of the fluffy purebred Burmese or Siamese cross.

This local carer decided to keep Lenny and had him desexed, microchipped and vaccinated. He was also tested for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) as the carer had sadly just lost a cat to this illness.

Sadly for Lenny, while he was negative for FIV, he was positive to feline leukaemia virus (FLV), another serious cat illness that attacks the immune system and is contagious to other cats.

As Lenny’s carer already has other cats, she could not keep him. She went about seeking a new, loving home for Lenny where he could live happily and as well as possible indoors given his FLV. Last week, Lenny’s carer re-

“I have found him a home with a lady in Dubbo who lives by herself and can’t wait to have him for company. She just wants to give him the best life she can for as long as she can,” she said.

“Lenny and I have our happy ending and I can visit him whenever I like, too!”

Well done, and we wish Lenny and his new owner all the very best.

By SHARON BONTHUYS AND ANNE HARMER THE Narromine Hospital Auxiliary raised over $1300 from its much anticipated trivia night on August 23.

The well attended event saw multiple teams battle it out for the gong of trivia champs at the Narromine Bowls Club.

In the end, “Rotary Beaters” took the prize from second placed “Cats and Dogs” and “Under Pressure” rounding out the top three teams.

Hospital auxiliary president Daphne Johnson thanked everyone for attending and said the proceeds of the

event would support the purchase of a “stroke chair” for use by stroke patients at the local hospital.

She said the auxiliary’s last big project, purchasing a slit lamp for the hospital, had been completed. The slit lamp will enable doctors to examine patients presenting with foreign bodies in their eyes and save them having to travel to Dubbo for this examination.

Daphne hopes the trivia night kickstarts a new season of monthly trivia events, reminiscent of what used to take place before the pandemic, with different groups hosting each time.

Narromine Preschool’s Book Contributed by LOUISE SIMPSON, DIRECTOR

THE children have had a great week celebrating Children’s Book Week with excursions every day to the Narromine Library for Story Time.

The library staff were also dressed up in Book Week costumes and read them two stories from the shortlisted Children’s Book Council of Australia awards: “When the Waterhole Dries Up” and “Stellarphant”.

Thank you, Narromine Library, for your warm welcome and very enjoyable mornings.

Book Week is a blast across the shire

By SHARON BONTHUYS BOOK Week 2022 was a blast for all the schools and libraries across the shire, if our photos are any indication!

The annual celebration of books, reading, literature and culture ran from August 20-26 and this year’s theme was “Dreaming With Eyes Open.”

The staff from Narromine and Trangie Libraries got into the spirit of the week, dressing up and providing great sessions for visiting students from local schools.

The libraries currently have a competition for kids to develop their own bookmarks. The lucky winners will have their bookmarks created and supplied across the libraries.

As part of our coverage we’re also including some highlights provided by schools across the shire. We also have an interview with emerging Australian author Rebecca Timmis (see page 9) who may just tell us if there are freshwater merpeople living in Lake Burrendong and our local cowals...

Happy Book Week!

Thursday, September 1, 2022 Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region NARROMINE STAR

Sport Sun shines on Narromine ladies’ golf open tournament Contributed by VICKI GAINSFORD IT was a very chilly day last Wednesday for our ladies’ open tournament, but the sun did come out every now and then to warm us up. We all enjoyed the day.

Some 19 ladies played 18 holes and six played nine holes. It was our pleasure to have guests from Warren, Tottenham, Mudgee, Tullamore, Coonamble and Trangie.

Thanks to a great effort from our local girls (and boy), Pat, Viv, Dale and Chris on the desk taking entries and coordinating results, to Marj and all the ladies in the kitchen, and to Bev and Michelle working the raffle and ball comp.

A big thank you, too, to those who loaned out their carts, and a huge thanks to Peter Gainsford and Greg Kearines for preparing a superb course!

The results of the day: The

Fields improved for weekend golf Contributed by NORM LEWIS AND KALE BOCK LAST weekend the golf fields were much improved due to better weather conditions. There was no rain recorded and this helped attract more players.

On Saturday, a field of 23 played in the four ball, best ball competition (4BBB). Dudley Alcorn paired with Glen Monaghan to return a score of 45 points. Close on their heels were Steve Barlow and Justin Gainsford with 44 points to take second place. Top scores for the day, congratulations to the winners.

Russell Hunt won the nearest the pin (NTP) on the third while Tom Hogan took the prize for the 17th. The long drive on the fourth went to Doug Potter. There was no winner of the Jackpot on hole 17.

On Sunday, some 10 players took part in the Club trophy event, a four ball aggregate stableford. The winners were Kale Bock and Peter Gainsford who scored 66 points. Good to see these great workers for the Club take out the day’s prize.

Peter ended up with a double as he won the NTP on the 17th. D.Coen won the long drive on the fourth.

The Club was represented by seven players at the Coonamble Open and we’ll have those results in next week’s

paper.

The programme for this week has been altered due to the footy semi-final at home for the Jets. Go the Jets!

For golfers not going to the footy, there will be an 18-hole stableford on Saturday and on Sunday the event is a 4BBB (random partners).

District Pennant matches are due on the weekend so let “Bocky” know if you are available.

The junior clinic will be on at the usual time on Sunday morning.

The Gulgong Vets Open was on earlier this week and results will be in next week’s paper. Last week some vets travelled to Cobar for their Open. Believe they had a good time but no major trophies. Greg Barling picked up two NTP trophies.

The major event for the year, the NSW Veteran Golfers Association (VGA) Sand Green Men’s Fourball State Championships will be played at Narromine later this month. The club has conducted this event since 2015, except for Covid interference in 2020 and 2021.

When it was last played in 2019 it was won by local champions Tony Mann and Rob Williams, who will be defending their title this year. There will also be special events for the ladies in conjunction with this tournament. Register now!

See you all at the 19th.

The B grade ninehole winner was Gwenda Furney (Mudgee), and nearest the pins (NTP) were Alison Payne (Warren) and Val Soulsby (Warren).

BOWLS NEWS

Narromine defeats Nyngan Contributed by RICK BOHM WELL just like the weather, we are slowly warming up with heaps happening in and around the club. We had social bowls on Thursday and Sunday, championships on Saturday and a successful pennant foray on Sunday.

Social Bowls had smallish fields, due to the coolish conditions and the clash with pennants on Sunday. Bruce Powyer, Danny Carnevale and Adam Jermyn won on Thursday while Clifton Harris, Mark Smith and Bill Wilkie won on Sunday. Well done!

Congratulations to Kevin Ryder and James Coen who defeated Bill Wilkie and Don Sullivan in the fi nal of the Major/Minor Pairs championship event.

Sunday saw the lads journey out to Nyngan, seeking a bit of retribution for the early season defeat. Our Lads delivered the goods, winning 10/00 with a 75 shots to 51 score line. Well

Win for “Parra” Smith Contributed by NORM LEWIS

David makes the NSW target rifle team

By SHARON BONTHUYS

DAVID Brown from the Narromine-Dubbo Rifle Club has made the NSW State Target Rifle Team for 2022.

David joins colleagues from Hols-

worthy, Explorers, West Wallsend, Concord, Lyndhurst, Mungindi Border and Endeavour clubs in the state team which will compete in Canberra in November.

Congratulations, David!

done.

All three rinks fi nished on the right side of the ledger. Adam, Beaver, Bopper and Robbie won 28/18, Philip, “Cranky” “Yogi” and Aaron notched up their fi rst win for the season 23/21, and Kevie, “Buttsy”, Ray and the “Frenchman” combined for a solid 24/12 victory.

The lads’ next match at home against West Dubbo next weekend is the “crunch” game of the season with the winner in the box seat to go forward to the zone playoffs later in the month.

The “B” Grade Singles were to start this weekend, but due to the Narromine show and a few other circumstances, matches will start the following week.

Have you nominated for the “Gub” Thorne day yet later this month? Get a team together and have a go. Well that’s it for me. The footy’s done and dusted so bring on the cricket.

LAST Wednesday, ten players faced the starter on the front nine and the winner on the day was Gus “Parra” Smith with an excellent score of 25 points.

An ardent Parramatta supporter, Smithy was following a great win by his team in reaching the top eight in the big league comp. Runner up on the day was Mal McIntyre on 21 points.

Very good golf from both these players.

There was no winner of the nearest the pin so another golf ball will be added to the jackpot pool. There was a battle for the popular NAGA prize with Bob Fletcher and “Boof” Fraser tied on 15 points. Fraser claimed the prize on the dreaded countback but was lucky to gain two shots back on his handicap.

Interest turned to the weekly pool competition where Alan Kearines and Terry Willis were drawn to meet Norm Lewis and Bob Fletcher. Alan played really well to carry Terry to victory and a place in the final against Chris Harding and Ross King.

Once again “Keiro” was playing well but they were unable to match the odds-on favourites, Harding and King.

In a rather lengthy game, the favourites claimed the title of pool champs for the week.

This week play will be on the back nine at the usual time and results will be in next week’s Narromine Star. To those Gerries who are members of the Veterans Club, please note entries close soon for the State Sand Greens Fourball Championships this month.

That’s it for another week. See you all at the 19th.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES MITCHELL and Desiree Kearney, who operate as an owner-trainer partnership at Hawkesbury, crossed the mountains and travelled west to win the Collie Hotel Collie Cup on Saturday with Lady Shenanigans.

The $17,000 Cup over 1280 metres attracted an outstanding field and before a very good crowd, featured a thrilling fi nish.

Makube led to the home turn but was challenged by Moetta and Lady Shenanigans with Foreign Brother and Denace the nearest pursuers in the 12

Collie Hotel Collie Cup horse race.

After a stride for stride battle down the straight, Lady Shananigans (Ben Osmond, $5) won by a nose from Moetta (Jake Barrett, $4.20 favourite) with Foreign Brother (Matthew Palmer, $5.50) holding on for third from the fast fi nishing Lady Riz. Twenty-three-year-old apprentice Ben Osmond, who won his fi rst race on Lilly’s Lolly at Gulgong in June 2021, has now ridden 13 winners.

Local apprentice Zara Lewis landed a winning double, Fox Spirit for Gilgandra trainer Bryan Dixon and the Geoff O’Brien, Quirindi-trained Diamonds Galore.

Fox Spirit ($11) led throughout to win by two lengths

from Blue Collar Boy (Vad Bolozhinskyi, $6) and Untamed Mistress (Anna Roper, $8) in the Roaches Contracting-Steve Carroll 50th Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Given a nice run on the inside, Diamonds Galore (Zara Lewis, $6.50) held off Casan Geal (Anna Roper, $6.50) and Cheval De Frise (Chelsea Ings, $5.50 favourite) in the 800 metres Cam and Dorothy Carmichael Memorial Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Geoff O’Brien also trains Tandem (Vad Bolozhinskyi, $5.50) winner of the 1000 metres Keith Kilby Memorial and Central West Poultry Maiden Plate.

Vad Bolozhinskyi has only recently resumed his career

after a lengthy time off recovering from injury.

Miss Twenty Two, after recent wins at Carinda and Parkes, was an impressive winner of the 1600 metres Mick and Margaret Brophy Memorial Benchmark 50 Handicap for Dubbo trainer Dar Lunn.

Very well ridden by Dubbo apprentice Jake Barrett, Miss Twenty Two ($3.60 favourite), from an outside barrier, was near last early before steadily making ground on the leaders.

Dashing past the front runner Sizzling Star when turned for home, Miss Twenty Two powered away to score by three lengths from Harry And The Duke (Brooke Stower, $20) and Scriba (Vad Bolozhinskyi, $20).

Bob Howe has several veteran gallopers in his stable and they continue to race well for the Rylstone trainer.

Ten-year-old Northern Conqueror (Ken Dunbar, $9) took the lead in the straight and fought on gamely to defeat Boom Queen (Julia Presits, $8) and Renzulli (Zara Lewis, $9.50) in the 1100 metres Bob and Clare Coxedge and Western Farm Machinery Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Gosford trainer Tony Newing has a good strike rate when he visits the central west and he won the 1200 metres Rohr’s Timber and Hardware/Happy Birthday Suzanne Maiden Handicap with the $4.40 favourite Tonquani ridden by apprentice Anna Roper.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND 18

Panthers claim points but Magpies win praise Contributed by BRYSON LUFF THE Gilgandra Panthers claimed the vital competition points when they hosted the Baradine Magpies in the final competition round of the 2022 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition.

In a high scoring match, the Panthers recorded a big win, but more importantly the competition points that secured them a berth in the major semi fi nal against the Narromine Jets at Narromine this Saturday.

However, whilst the fi nal score flattered neither side’s defence, it does not tell the whole story about the match which saw the second placed Gilgandra outfit up against a Baradine side that had not won a game throughout the season.

This was to be the Maggies’ fi nal outing for the year, and they were playing for nothing but pride. In that area they excelled, turning up with a full complement of players and giving it their all until the fi nal whistle was blown.

The home side led 26 to nil at the break, with that lead being extended to 38 nil in the early stages of the second half.

The never-say-die attitude of the visitors then began to shine through and they scored two converted tries to make it 38 to 12 before the

Panthers regroupe. Soon the scoreboard was reading 56 to 12 in their favour.

But once again the Maggies were not going to lay down and they fi nished all over the top of Panthers, racing in three converted tries to make the fi nal score 56 to 30, the second half being 30 all.

It was a noteworthy performance by the black and whites, and one that deservedly won them much praise.

It also gave the Panthers much to think about ahead of their semi-final clash, particularly on the defensive side of things.

Meanwhile at Cobar, the Coonamble Bears fi nished their commitments for the season when they went down to a dominant Roosters team, 64 to 16.

The Bears, however, registered a sizeable win in the league tag and that, combined with the loss by the Gilgandra Pink Panthers to Baradine, sees them finish in fourth position on the table.

They will be heading out to Roosterland again this Sunday to take on the Narromine Jets in the minor semi-fi nal.

Both the major and minor semi fi nals will be played this weekend with Narromine hosting the majors on Saturday and then the action will shift to Cobar on Sunday for the minors.

Saturday’s games will begin with the reserve grade

game kicking off at 11.45am featuring the Binnaway Bombshells in action against the Jets, followed by what is expected to be another classic league tag encounter between Baradine and Dunedoo.

In fi rst grade, the host club will be up against the Gilgandra Panthers. Earlier in the year the Panthers scored an impressive win at Cale Oval, but the Jets returned serve on Gilgandra’s home turf just a few weeks ago. Certainly, the visitors can ill afford to drift in and out of this match in a fashion similar to what they did against Baradine last Saturday.

The big prize to the winner of this game is the right to host the grand fi nal, something that both clubs would dearly love, so the stakes are high and a great game is anticipated.

Sunday will see the Gulgong Bull Terriers in action in both the reserve grade game (against Gilgandra) and in fi rst grade with the host club being their opposition.

The Terriers have had a number of byes going into this match, something that they no doubt have factored into their preparation for the game against the formidable Roosters.

The league tag game will feature Narromine up against Coonamble.

Sydney Thunder stars stop in Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS

TOP cricketers from the Sydney Thunder’s Big Bash League (BBL) team visited Narromine on August 29 on their way to far west NSW. Thunder BBL star Baxter Holt, NSW Blues youngster Hunar Verma and Dubbo’s own NSW Breakers bowler Emma Hughes stopped by three local schools to encourage kids to play and love cricket.

Their visit is part of Cricket NSW’s annual Country Blitz regional engagement tour, the fi rst in two years following the lifting of pandemic restrictions.

The three-day tour saw 37 elite cricket players, including 11 from Sydney Thun-

der, visit schools, clubs and community groups in Narromine, Cobar and Bourke.

The cricketers met students at Narromine Public School, Narromine Christian School and St Augustine’s Parish School during their visit.

Emma Hughes, who grew up in Dubbo and spent most of her formative cricketing years in the country, said a visit to the regions always fi lls her with joy at how involved the kids are in the game.

“The Country Blitz is a great initiative to connect with kids in the country and we have a lot of fun playing cricket,” she said.

“I know how important it is to encourage kids in

the regions to take up the sports and offer them the opportunities.

“The Country Blitz gives us at the Thunder a chance to help kids try cricket, have as much fun as we do and hopefully encourage them to sign up for a club for this summer.

“Cricket for kids these days is so much fun, it’s shorter than it was, and you make friends for life,” Emma said.

Head of Sydney Thunder, Andrew Gilchrist, said country areas made up a big part of the Thunder Nation.

“Sydney Thunder has always had a very strong connection to the regional areas in the Thunder Nation and we have built a solid fanbase all over the state,” he said.
