Groovy Booby Bus helps us keep abreast of our health STORY: PAGE 5 Greens raise central west environmental issues in NSW upper house By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST week Narromine and Trangie were mentioned in the NSW Legislative Council, the upper house of the NSW Parliament, when Greens member Sue Higginson MLC called for documents from several government departments, agencies and ministers pertaining to chemical overspraying and chemical drift. Under Standing Order 52, which is a call for papers, the Greens member requested all documents, including advice, briefi ngs, minutes of meetings, correspondence, pollution notifications and emails, relating to chemical overspraying and chemical drift between two departments, two agencies and two ministers with nine organisations, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), commercial industry and industry groups occurring between January 1, 2019 and October 1, 2022. “The purpose of this call for papers is to establish the facts about how this government is handling genuine community concerns about the destruction of vast swathes of vegetation in local and regional environments,” Ms Higginson said in the upper house on October 19. “There is a reason-based concern that the NSW government is not undertaking its regulatory role as it should.

Trangie Caltex set to close in December By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE’S only service station is set to close on December 4, leaving the town without a fuel facility until new arrangements are in place for another provider to take over the site. How long this may take is anyone’s guess. The Narromine Star has confi rmed with Ampol Limited that the Trangie Caltex is set to close permanently following the expiry of the existing lease. “Ampol will be closing its service station on Sunday, December 4, 2022, due to lease expiry. We would like to thank the community in Trangie for their support over the past several years,” a company spokesperson said in response to our enquiry. The situation has infuriated Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies, who has swung into action and escalated the matter to the highest levels within stakeholder UGL. He said another provider was waiting in the wings to take over the site but this could not happen until UGL and Ampol had resolved their issues. “The changeover in possession of a fuel station site initiates a remedial rehabilitation process,” said Cr Davies, who indicated the process to close

under this state government. “It is pretty appalling that bureaucrats have such little regard for what happens in rural and regional areas that these transactions can take so long. It highlights the growing divide between the polit-

Pothole funding to get a big boost REGIONAL and rural councils will receive a $50 million boost to help address the increasing number of potholes brought on by this year’s extreme wet weather. Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said under the new Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round, the Narromine Shire, Dubbo Regional and Mid Western Regional Councils can apply for funding to help them address their highest priority pothole repairs. “It is hard to drive anywhere on our road network without dodging potholes as a result of the wet weather we have experienced this year,” Mr Saunders said. “We’ve heard the calls for help loud and clear, and fi xing the hundreds

Trangie Caltex set to Walk towards hope close in December this weekend
THE National Association for Loss and Grief NSW (NALAG) will host Walk Towards Hope, a free community event, this weekend in Dubbo. Due to the weather, the event will take place at the Dubbo Showgrounds and will culminate in a Remembering Ceremony and barbecue. “Walk with us to promote suicide awareness, prevention and support in the region,” the NALAG website says. No registration is necessary. For further details visit the NALAG website.

A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.
Narromine United Services Memorial Club Ltd The Trangie Caltex. THE Narromine Star was told about the impending closure by a source from the Trangie community who said the service station had operated for several decades and had been owned by several local families at different points in time. We subsequently sought comment from Cr Davies, who responded immediately. We also endeavoured to contact the current Trangie Caltex management in Dubbo, to no avail. The nominated contact number listed online is disconnected and a call to a nearby Ampol outlet in Dubbo was not returned prior to publication.
Cr Davies demanded urgent action from the stakeholders concerned on October 24, highlighting the impact to the current staff employed at the service station as well as the Trangie community and local businesses who will have to travel away to get their fuel. The nearest fuel outlets are in Nevertire (33 kilometres, unattended outlet), Narromine (36 kilometres) or Warren (53 kilometres). The Mayor was unable to provide an update on the outcome of his advocacy prior to publication, but we are aware that discussions are continuing. The news of the impend-

Market day a success
A great event for local small businesses.
The event showcased women-led businesses and side hustles. By SHARON BONTHUYS THE inaugural Mother Hustle Markets were held in Narromine on October 15 at Soul Food Depot. The popular venue was transformed into a market mecca for local residents and visitors and was well attended. The markets showcased a range of women-led small businesses and mums with a side
hustle from around the central west NSW. Information for small business owners was also available, as was support for those experiencing grief, loss and or infertility. A fundraising raffle held in conjunction with the event raised $1,076, half of which was donated to the breast cancer support organisation, Pink Angels.

Groovy Booby Bus helps us keep abreast of our health By SHARON BONTHUYS OCTOBER is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the central west’s own breast health ambassador, Donna Falconer, is busy starting conversations everywhere she travels. Currently touring across Queensland and NSW in the pink and white Groovy Booby Bus with friend Jenet Stewart, Donna is in her element – and frequently in dress up – as she spreads awareness. After appearing at the Dolly Festival in Narromine earlier this month, Donna has since travelled to Mudgee and Bingara in NSW, and then headed up into Queensland for speaking engagements in Warwick and Middlemount. Our photos show some of the fun Donna and Jenet have been having on their travels. Donna would like to remind readers that breast cancer is a disease that does not discriminate. “One in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85, and it’s predicted that 212 men will also be diagnosed this year,” Donna said during her recent visit to Narromine. Narromine Shire readers can book in for a free screen at the Breast Screen NSW facility in the grounds of the Dubbo Base Hospital.

2500 new cases of triple-negative breast cancer each year AROUND 10-15 per cent of all breast cancer cases are triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) and there are around 2,500 new cases in Australia each year, according to biopharmaceutical company MSD. TNBC is a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer which means it can grow quickly, the company says. Professor Fran Boyle, Medical Oncologist at the Mater Hospital Sydney and Director of the Patricia Ritchie Centre for Cancer Care and Research said: “Many of these women will be below the usual age at which screening occurs. As TNBC has the potential
to grow quickly, the cancer can reach a significant size before patients are diagnosed.” Dr Sally Baron-Hay, Medical Oncologist, Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, said: “There have been limited treatment options in the management of women with early stage TNBC. “The addition of an immunotherapy option to neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment gives medical oncologists and their patients an additional treatment option for those with this aggressive subtype of breast cancer.” A survey of women with a TNBC diagnosis found that they
experience increased levels of fear and anxiety at diagnosis compared to non-TNBC patients, MSD says. “We encourage adult women of all ages to perform breast selfchecks at least once a month as a preventative measure,” said Sarah Powell, CEO of preventative health charity Pink Hope. “We know that [TNBC] can occur in younger women. That’s why it’s crucial for women to become familiar with their breasts and learn how to spot any changes and speak to their GP if they notice anything unusual,” she said.
BREASTfast promotes cancer research IN 2022, more than 20,000 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer and over 3,200 people will die from this disease, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). The organisation asked Australians to get involved and share their #BREASTfast during October to fund research and show their support for those impacted by breast cancer. “Whether it’s the price of a morning coffee, avocado and eggs, a splurge on pancakes or a big, cooked family breakfast, Australians are being urged to donate, as reaching Zero Deaths from breast cancer starts with research, just like our days start
with breakfast,” said NBCF Chief Executive Officer, Associate Professor Cleola Anderiesz. “We’re asking people to photograph their breakfast, post the images online, and donate the cost of their breakfast to NBCF so we can continue to fuel life-saving breast cancer research. “We hope #BREASTfast will help us raise awareness of [our] vision for Zero Deaths from breast cancer,” she said. Since 1994, the organisation has provided around $200 million to fund nearly 600 research projects. In that time, death rates from breast cancer in Australia have reduced by 43 per cent.

Reconnecting important in mental health journeys
Bruno Efoti speaks at the Real Reconnections Tour event at Narromine on October 20. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.
By SHARON BONTHUYS
“THERE is a lot of good support around us. We just need to know where to fi nd it.” These words by Tradies in Sight (TIS) Founder Bruno Efoti when I interviewed him last month were central to the special mental health presentation at the Narromine United Services Memorial Club (USMC) last Thursday night. Support from close family, some good samaritans and counsellors was the key to re-
covery for speaker “Vic”, who shared his heartbreaking but inspiring personal story as part of the Real Reconnections Tour that is taking the mental health message across the central west. Not only did Vic recover from an horrific spiral into depression, alcoholism and gambling, but he has since put his experience and the lessons learned to very good use counselling others. A large group featuring all ages and genders attended the Narromine event on Octo-
ber 20. Attendees were floored by Vic’s candid and heart wrenching expose of his own mental health journey and recovery. The importance of support for those experiencing mental health issues was one of the key messages provided at the event. Aimed at men but welcoming anyone who wishes to attend, the Real Reconnections Tour has been made possible through a $10,000 grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s (FRRR) “In A Good Place” program.
The grant to TIS was one of fourteen mental health initiatives across remote, rural and regional Australia to be funded by FRRR. These events support grassroots, community driven projects that increase social participation, help to reduce social isolation and encourage community members who are at risk of, or are experiencing, mental health issues to seek help. The Real Reconnections Tour kicked off in Nyngan last month and will also take its message to Tullamore, Coon-

Trangie resident completes Seven Bridges Walk around Sydney Harbour By SHARON BONTHUYS SCOTTISH duo The Proclaimers had a hit song in 1988 about walking 500 miles for love. Trangie resident Chris Vaughan certainly clocked up that distance and beyond training for a mammoth fundraising trek in Sydney last weekend to honour loved ones lost to cancer. The 56-year-old carer took part in the gruelling “Seven Bridges Walk” on Sunday, October 23, in support of the Cancer Council. She and daughter Crystal, 24, joined thousands of others on the 28-kilometre closed loop circuit that travels clockwise around Sydney Harbour, crossing seven bridges along the way. “It was long and tiresome, but I did it!” a very tired Chris declared after returning from Sydney. Chris’s achievement is all the more poignant when you realise that she has lived with arthritic knees for most of her life, had both knees replaced, and was diagnosed with breast cancer herself just two months ago. She will undergo treatment for the disease in the near future. Despite her own personal health battles, Chris was thinking more of her loved ones in preparing for and undertaking this trek. Her mother, Olive Ashford, mother-in-law Vera Vaughan, sister Deanne Laffey and brother-in-law Des Vaughan have all passed away from cancer. “My mum had breast cancer at my age and she survived,” Chris said. Sadly, Olive succumbed to cervical
cancer at 62, as did Deanne and Vera. “When Des found out he had cancer, he only had about a month to live,” Chris said. Diagnosed with arthritis in her knees at just 13, by 2015 Chris was housebound and could manage to walk just a few metres at a time. In 2020 both her knees were replaced and she regained her ability to walk. “I’ve been walking ever since, very slowly,” she said. By the end of 2021 she could walk as far as five kilometres. She then received an email from the Cancer Council inviting her to participate in the Seven Bridges Walk. “That email actually prompted me to get checked for cancer myself, and I found out that I had breast cancer,” she said. The shock diagnosis made her all the more determined to complete the walk. She began to train for the event, managing to walk up to 20 kilometres at a time in a loop around Trangie. The Seven Bridge Walk circuit is designed so that participants can join from any of six “Villages” around the loop to prevent a mass of people congregating in a single location. The villages are located at Milson’s Point, Pyrmont, Rozelle, Hunter’s Hill, Lane Cove and Wollstonecraft. “My goal was to get over the seven bridges. The fi rst bridge we crossed was the Sydney Harbour Bridge,” she said. The other bridges on the circuit included Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, and Fig Tree Bridge.
Chris said some of the hills along the way were tough. “Man, that Gladesville Bridge approach was the steepest of all of them. It’s not flat like the rest.” By the time she had completed three bridges, Chris’s blood pressure had risen to the point where she had to stop and be checked at a fi rst aid station at one of the villages. She was able to carry on and completed the circuit. Following the mammoth trek, Chris’s calves are “a bit sore”, she said. Crystal also completed the walk and is also feeling the impacts of such a long trek. The full-time carer has lived in Trangie for the last six years caring for son Daniel Ashford, and says she doesn’t plan on completing the Seven Bridges Walk again any time soon. She intends to focus on her own health and getting well again. “My daughter has flat out refused to do it again!” Chris laughed. Chris began her very personal journey hoping to raise $420 for the Cancer Council, which she has surpassed through the help of family and friends. It is still possible to make donations in support of this fundraiser if community members would like to do so. The link to Chris’s Seven Bridges Walk donation page has been shared on Trangie social media forums. Good on you, Chris, and thank you for walking 500 miles plus in memory of those you loved and for a very good cause. We hope you’re on the path to good health again very soon.

Greens raise central west environmental issues in NSW upper house From page 1 “IT appears that there are systemic failures in the reporting and regulatory responses to chemical overspray and drift. As a result, the community and the environment are suffering harm, and the community is doing all that it can to sort it out, but it is not being listened to. “The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) seems to believe that it does not have the power to act on what is a landscape-scale crisis, and the community has genuine fears that the state has been captured by corporate cotton operators,” Ms Higginson said in the upper house. The NSW government rejected the motion, with Ben Franklin, MLC, minister for Aboriginal affairs, the arts, regional youth and tourism, suggesting a “diversion of resources” to comply with Ms Higginson’s request would significantly impact the important work of the EPA. “A diversion of resources to collect, collate and provide the materials and data requested would have a significant impact on the resources of the [EPA] and put at risk the effective management of the pesticides regulatory program, including the pilot pesticides monitoring program that is currently underway,” minister Franklin told the upper house. “The government has heard concerns from across communities in the Narromine local government area about the use of agricultural pesticides. The community is concerned about the impacts of inappropriate pesticide use on farming businesses and natural environments,” minister Franklin said. “Community members are also concerned about securing access to pesticides to protect their farming businesses, local economies and natural environments from pests.” He told the upper house that the NSW government “works closely with the APVMA, other jurisdictions and other NSW government agencies, including the Department of Primary Industries (DPI), to collectively address pesticide misuse challenges and deliver nationally coordinated environmental protection.” The opposition leader, Penny Sharpe, MLC, supported the motion, acknowledging that it would be “a lot of work” for those public servants tasked with carrying out the request. Ms Sharpe told the upper house that if “resourcing” was an issue, it was one of the government’s own making. “The government cannot hide behind the fact that it has cut the number of public servants in relation to these matters and made it more difficult.” Supported by the Labor opposition and cross-bench, Ms Higginson’s motion was passed by seven votes on October 19 and the nominated agencies and ministers have 21 days to provide the detailed list of documents requested. Those who are compelled to provide documents under this process include the Department of Planning and Envi-
ronment (DPIE), the DPI, the EPA, Local Land Services, the minister for environment and heritage (James Griffin MP), and the minister for agriculture and minister for western NSW (Dugald Saunders MP). The nine organisations named in the motion for whom documents must be supplied by the departments, agencies and ministers include the Macquarie Valley Landcare Group Inc, Pollinators Association, Dubbo Field Naturalists, Dubbo Environment Group, Nature Conservation Council, National Toxics Network, Cotton Australia, Narromine Shire Council and the Community Overspray Group.
Why have the Greens taken this matter to the upper house? THE Narromine Star spoke with Sue Higginson MLC on October 25, to fi nd out more about why she raised this matter in the upper house. She said she was motivated to raise the matter formally after community members came to her with their concerns about chemical overspray and drift in Narromine and Trangie. “We would like to have a better, clearer, more transparent understanding about the way government agencies have approached this topic, especially the EPA. Ultimately, it’s about drawing attention to practices that potentially injure the landscape and fi nding solutions, Ms Higginson said. “The motivation really is that this is a matter of public interest. It’s a matter of interest to the broader community, and surely, if there is a problem then there is a solution to it.” Ms Higginson said she and her team are approaching the issue in good faith with the community, understanding this is an issue that is impacting the environment broadly and they would like to contribute positively to the solution. “What also motivates me is that I’m fairly new to the parliament. My background is as a public interest environmental lawyer. “I have represented farmers and community groups that have found themselves having to face or stand up to larger interests that are exploiting the environment, or managing the environment in a way that is profit-driven, profit-motivated and is not necessarily as accountable as other operators in the landscape,” she said. Ms Higginson said that bigger players in the landscape tend to get a priority voice and may often silence the dissenting voice or the voice trying to highlight a problem being overlooked. “I’ve seen how smaller operators and agriculturalists can get swallowed up and become voiceless. One of my roles as a cross-bencher and member of the Greens in parliament is to represent those voices that might otherwise be silenced,” she said. “The key to justice and fi nding resolution where all par-

Without information, the community is in the dark. At the moment, we have a regulator, the EPA, that — as far as the community is concerned — isn’t as forthcoming with information as the community believes is necessary for [it] to be aware of the depth, breadth and scope of the problem, and the capacity to have a regulatory response.” Ms Higginson acknowledged that the issue is complicated. “We know that chemical regulation in Australia is a federal issue in terms of what’s available and the regulation around what products are authorised and usable. The APVMA is at the federal level and we know there has been some discussion around the functions and operations of [that entity]. “On the ground the regulator is the state’s [EPA], and it’s not unfathomable that some gaps may be happening here.”
What will happen after the documents are provided? WHEN the documents are provided to Ms Higginson, she and her team will go through them. Documents that are not deemed “privileged” by the department, agency or minister may be able to be copied and shared with the community. “We can then talk about what we believe has arisen through those documents and whether it exposes a need to ask further questions [or actions],” she said. This process may also identify any gaps or problems. “The idea is that we will continue to improve the practice to hold the EPA to account if it’s not undertaking its regulatory functions as it should. The ultimate aim is that if harm is happening to the environment and to the community, we fi nd a way of arresting that harm, and holding those causing that harm to account.” Whether further regulatory changes need to be made will also need to be considered.
How did the departments, agencies and ministers respond? THE Narromine Star approached each department, agency and ministers James Griffin and Dugald Saunders for comment about the request to supply documents in line with the call for papers under Standing
Order 52 on October 19. The responses we received prior to our publication deadline are listed below. Minister for agriculture, and minister for Western NSW, Dugald Saunders said, “Anyone with concerns relating to chemical overspraying and chemical drift can report them to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who are authorised by the Pesticides Act 1999 to investigate incidents of suspected spray drift. “Through the DPI, pesticide application training is provided at Tocal College through the SMARTtrain program. This training is developed for primary producers and anyone who uses pesticides as part of their work or normal business,” he said. A spokesperson from the NSW EPA said “The EPA responds to parliamentary calls for papers as required and complies with deadlines. The EPA takes all allegations of pollution seriously and responds in accordance with our regulatory and compliance strategies, policies and procedures.”
Who is Sue Higginson, MLC? SUE Higginson MLC entered the NSW Legislative Council in May 2022, fi lling the seat vacated by Greens member David Shoebridge who moved to the federal senate. She is eminently qualified to raise environmental issues in the NSW parliament. According to her NSW parliament biography, Ms Higginson is the former principal solicitor and CEO of the Environmental Defenders Office, Australia’s leading public interest environmental law centre. The environmental law expert has practised as a public interest environmental lawyer, litigating some very high profi le environmental cases against large corporate entities. She has also lectured and taught environmental law in NSW universities. Ms Higginson is also a Northern Rivers dryland rice farmer and brings that knowledge and experience with her to the upper house.
Farmers unite in push for chemical reductions in farming Contributed by COTTON AUSTRALIA RENOWNED Australian soil scientist Dr Oliver Knox has applauded a group of cotton growers on the Darling Downs in Queensland who are using next to no chemicals for pests, natural fertiliser for soil and plant health, and minimal chemicals for weeds. Toowoomba-based agronomist Matthew Holding gives guidance related to thousands of hectares of cotton including Insect Pest Management (IPM) and other sustainable farming practices. “Due to timing and manure use, nitrogen applications in
my region would be at least 40 per cent lower than the industry average. They still use herbicides but less than what they used to by using more residual products proactively.” Dr Knox, from the University of New England, said IPM and the use of manures in Australian cotton/farming systems are not new. “But having confidence in your ability to produce crops without pesticides, and with reduced reliance on mineral fertilisers, requires careful stewardship of crops and soil. “Knowing what insects are in your crop as well as what nutrients are removed from the fields at harvest becomes crucial, but getting to this point takes time and dedication, and these farmers have given that.” An increasing number of farmers are applying bulky organic fertilisers like manures, composts, and biosolids on their fields to reduce reliance on synthetic mineral fertilisers. Feedlots are close to Grant Porter’s Brookstead farm, meaning cartage costs are low. They started using manure more than 20-yearsago, meaning consistent nutrient delivery. “There are two things that you achieve – the fi rst is you get those good nutrients that are slower release and better for growing a plant in, but also you are putting organic matter into the soil which helps you hold more moisture,” Mr Porter said. Cecil Plains farmer Tyson Armitage agrees on the benefits. “We are seeing great results with soil health and there’s a big flow on effect for us as a farm. With manure you get so much more than just nitrogen or whatever you are physically applying, it gives you a greater all-round result and good soil to grow crops in.” Darling Downs grower of the year Johannes Roellgen has also been applying manure for more than two decades, ticking off all his potassium requirements through feedlot manure. He has also made huge gains by Matt’s IPM methods, meaning less spraying. “There are many growers doing the right thing and as much as we are driven by improving yields and economic outcomes, we know we can only achieve this by having a sustainable system.” Cotton Australia CEO Adam Kay said it’s further evidence that our cotton farmers are among the world’s best. “Consumers and brands are demanding top quality, sustainable cotton and this again shows that our farmers are always searching for ways to improve environmental and crop outcomes. “I know that cotton farmers across the country are adopting these practices and I have no doubt the outcomes for crops and the environment will continue to improve,” Mr Kay said. Cotton Australia is the peak representative body for Australia’s cotton growing industry.

Inland Rail’s Narwonah Materials Distribution Centre takes shape By SHARON BONTHUYS EARLY works are underway on what is believed to be the largest proposed project site of its kind in the southern hemisphere at the Australian Rail Track Corporation’s (ARTC) Inland Rail Materials Distribution Centre (MDC) at Narwonah. Contractor Martinus has made a solid start on the four-kilometre square site despite the spate of bad weather plaguing the central west NSW. Located eight kilometres south of Narromine, the Narwonah MDC is one of two such centres to be construct-
ed for Inland Rail. The other is located at Whetstone near the NSW/Queensland border. The Inland Rail website states that the Narwonah MDC will “service the future installation of ballast, sleepers, rail, and turnouts along sections of the Inland Rail alignment from Narromine north into Queensland. “It will process 675,000 concrete sleepers, more than 45,000 tonnes of new rail and more than 500,000 tonnes of ballast. When operational, the MDC will allow Martinus to install roughly 368km of new track infrastructure between Narromine and the NSW/
Queensland border,” the website states. The MDCs are crucial infrastructure for the Inland Rail project and the Narwonah site will be progressively constructed in planned stages, said a spokesperson for ARTC. This is expected to provide functionality as the program needs it. “The fi rst stage is expected to commence operations from June 2023, when it will be able to receive and enable the handling of rail sleepers before expanding in later stages to receive and manage ballast and rail,” the spokesperson said. “[MDCs] such as Narwonah
are going to be an important part in the efficient and safe delivery of Inland Rail. Materials to build Inland Rail are being manufactured in the regions before being transported and installed almost entirely by rail, significantly reducing use of state and local roads by heavy vehicles. “The centre will provide vital capacity in the material logistics supply chain for Inland Rail, and benefits for project delivery. It will enable us to receive and efficiently stockpile materials from our suppliers in a way that allows for them to be dispatched and installed on the project when required.
“These materials can also be received without disturbing the civil works in the rail corridor and impeding their access to undertake their important work, which will provide for better efficiency and safety outcomes,” the spokesperson said. The persistent bad weather impacting the wider region has also caused delays with progress at the site. “Local road closures due to safety concerns have meant construction personnel have been unable to access the site,” the spokesperson said. ARTC is still assessing the significance of these delays.
Castlereagh Connection performs in Narromine
By SHARON BONTHUYS
LAST Saturday, popular Coonamble band the Castlereagh Connection performed in Narromine to the delight of many local families. The very talented family band includes dad David Jones on base, sons David Jr (15) on lead guitar, Travis (12) on guitar and lead vocals, and their cousin Braydon (14) on drums. The Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre provided the perfect venue for the free community concert, keeping everyone warm and dry from the onset of bad weather. It was wonderful to see families dancing and enjoying the great show. Proud mum Lisa Jones watched her family perform from the sidelines and told the Narromine Star that the band loves going to community events like the one made possible by the team from the Narromine Community Skills Project. The Castlereagh Connection’s profi le was raised significantly after appearing on TV program The Voice in January 2022. That appearance introduced them to a much wider audience and the band is set to perform next at Sydney University and then at the Bungle Rumble in Coonabarabran later next month. “We’ve been very busy since The Voice,” Lisa said. “No matter what they do as careers in the future, music will always be there,” she said.

Narromine Hospital Auxiliary: our hospital is in good hands Contributed by VICKI GAINSFORD OUTPATIENTS (and in-patients!) continue to benefit from face-to-face care at Narromine Hospital provided by our local doctors, Andy and Merina, and the dedicated nursing staff. How lucky we are to have them providing care during the day and supported by telehealth professionals after hours. Our Hospital Auxiliary, working for the betterment of the hospital, is ever-grateful
for the continued support of the community. Joan Collins has provided some beautiful hand-made patchwork bags for our fundraising, and Narromine Coles has dedicated the checkout counter “money-drop” to our Auxiliary which enables people to give their spare change. Thank you to all. What is really important about our Auxiliary is that we provide a conduit between the community and the hospital management. Being able to present to the Health Service
Manager, Sanu Joy, any community concerns that we hear about enables us to get the facts and provide answers. One concern recently raised has been the community-funded palliative care ward. Sanu has informed us that, for the time being, this ward is being used for COVID patients because it is completely self-contained. Restrictions might be gone for most people but COVID is still out there in our community and if people need to be hospitalised, our hos-
pital needs a safe, self-contained space to be able to provide care without infection spreading. However, another ward which also has access to the special furnished garden has been set up to accommodate palliative care patients and their visiting families while the other ward is in use. If you have any questions about what is happening at the hospital, please reach out and have a chat with our Auxiliary. We’re here to help the community as much as we
can. Sanu is also very receptive to, and indeed invites, community members to come and have a look through the hospital. Please take this opportunity if you would like to learn more about our hospital. Christmas is almost upon us and so we are busy planning our end of year raffle and street stall, as well as the Volunteer Christmas Party at the golfie for all volunteers next month. More information on that will be coming soon.

By SHARON BONTHUYS ABOUT 70 keen followers of fashion gathered at the Soul Food Depot last Saturday night for fun, food, fabulous frocks and more as local boutique Ollie and I modelled new spring fashions. Boutique owner Maryanne McKinney was MC for the night and introduced a range of clothes for wearers of all ages.
The seven models hailed from the region, with Kelly McPherson, Kylie Hutchison, Amanda Gordon, Heidi Pratten, Jennie Ward, Helen Jefferies and Sarah McKinney familiar faces to those gathered. A raffle on the night also raised valuable funds for the McGrath Foundation breast care nurses. “It’s great to have an event for ladies to enjoy a night out and see the new season fashion,” Maryanne told the Narromine Star.

A “pawsome” effort for sick kids
By SHARON BONTHUYS
AS October comes to a close, so will the “pawsome” fundraising efforts of Narromine local Jesmond McLeod and her five-year-old Great Dane, Agnes. You may have seen Agnes in her colourful yellow bandana with Jesmond and her family walking to school, down at Rotary Park, and out along the local walking and bike tracks in their quest to walk 100 kilometres in aid of sick children during October. The duo are participating in the “Paws for Sick Kids” initiative which supports the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), and in turn the seriously ill and injured children and their families staying at Ronald McDonald House in Randwick. The 100-kilometre walkfest has been derived from the fact that many country children and their families staying at the RMHC Sydney facility have travelled far greater than that distance to access medical treatment. It is an important cause for Jesmond and her husband Sam, who are parents to Ayla, 7, Bain, 5, and Logan, 4. “I like that Ronald McDonald House supports the whole family when sick kids need to stay a long way from home. It costs on average $160 per night to support a family [staying] in the house,” Jesmond said. “I think Paws is a great way to support this important cause. If I can raise money for a charity that supports people from all over NSW who have to travel a long way for their

sick and injured kids then I’m more than happy to put in a little bit of effort to help somebody else,” she said. Jesmond was encouraged to join Paws for Sick Kids after joining a RMHC Sydney challenge on social media last year that encouraged people to take photos of their pets. Now that pandemic restrictions have lifted and people can get out and about more, RMHC Sydney proposed a walking challenge this year. “This year is a more active challenge and I think Agnes, myself, and my whole family are benefiting from the exercise both physically and mentally,” she said. Agnes certainly enjoys the exercise, Jesmond said, and occasionally the family’s other two dogs Bowser and Remi will also join the walks. With the whole family embracing the challenge, the kilometres have been clicking over and so have the dollars. When the Narromine Star spoke with Jesmond last week, her goal was $640 which would cover four nights’ stay at RMHC Sydney. On October 25, Jesmond was thrilled to report that she had exceeded this goal and the fundraising was currently sitting at $740. “Agnes and I have walked 81.65 kilometres as of today, and with six days left to go we need to walk just over three kilometres a day to get to 100 kilometres for October.” If you would like to follow Jesmond and Agnes’s fundraising efforts on social media or make a donation, search for the hashtag #BeautifulMissAgnes. Well done, team, and all the best for the rest of the month.

NAIDOC Week at Trangie Central School Contributed by TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL MONDAY morning was the start of NAIDOC celebrations for Trangie Central School with the raising of the Aboriginal flag and speeches from students. Tawhiao Selway, our primary school captain, welcomed us all to the flag raising with the Acknowledgement of Country, as Sonny Morton, secondary school captain, raised the flag. Tawhiao Selway, Dixie Morton and Indie Bond spoke of the importance of NAIDOC and what it means to them, and the school’s Indigenous dancers performed two dances. This year’s theme of ‘Get Up, Stand Up, Show Up’ was addressed by Mia Gleeson, and the morning closed with Mrs Tanya McMaster, the school’s Aboriginal Education Officer, and Sonny Morton cutting the NAIDOC cake. Thursday was going to be a fun day of activities and cultural experiences planned for the students, but due to the predicted weather event, this has been postponed until later in the term.

School fetes enjoyed by all By SHARON BONTHUYS SCHOOLS in Trangie and Narromine held their fetes last Friday, to the delight of their pupils and the local communities. St John’s Parish School moved its fete to the Trangie Showgrounds, enabling the event to take place in the comfort and shelter of the big hall. It was well attended and heartily enjoyed by all. The Narromine Public School also held its fete under cover on the same day. Fetes are an important tradition in Australian schools and it’s great to see them being held once again.

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES A hectic weekend for Dubbo trainer Connie Greig included winning at Kembla on Saturday with the rapidly improving mare Deel Street and organising her seven horse team for the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final scheduled for the following day at Coonamble. Purchased online by Connie Greig and Michelle Jones for $7000 after a win and some placings from 15 starts, Deel Street was unplaced at the fi rst three outings for the new connections when resuming after a spell but is now building an imposing record for the Dubbo trainer. From the last seven starts the now five-yearold mare has recorded four wins (Dubbo three and Kembla one) and three placings, at Moree, Forbes, and Bathurst. Anna Roper has become the regular rider and again showed great patience in the
Wet weekend of racing cancellations 1600 metres Westrac Conditional Open Handicap at Kembla. Allowed to drift back after the start, Deel Street was three lengths last at one stage before steadily working in to the race from the 700 metres point. With a trademark powerful fi nish, Deel Street ($3.90) won by a nose from Devil Dan (Winona Costin, $4.80) with two lengths to the third placed Reginald (Jeff Penza, $8). “I like to give Apprentices a chance and I am really impressed with Anna Roper, she does not panic when her mounts are well back in the run and rides with great judgement”, commented Connie Greig. Earlier in the day at Kembla, Anna Roper won the 1200 metres Baines Masonry F&M Maiden Plate On Edna ($3.90) for Randwick trainer Craig Carmody. A high achieving year 12 student, Anna Roper gained an ATAR which entitled her to enter university and study for degrees in veterinary science however she decided to become a jockey
and the results are already spectacular. Apprenticed to former outstanding jockey and now prominent trainer Tracey Bartley at Wyong, Anna Roper at her fi rst race ride won on the Tony Newing, Gosford trained Alpha Go at Gundagai in April. Success has since come with a rush and Anna Roper has now ridden 44 winners in the fi rst six months of her career. There was no time to celebrate at Kembla as Deel Street was straight on the truck and driven back to Dubbo by Connie Greig. Michelle Jones and stable staff had been getting the runners ready for the Coonamble meeting transferred from Coonabarabran, on Sunday and anxiously watching weather reports as heavy rain had begun falling over a wide area. “I had arranged for two jockeys to fly from Victoria on Sunday morning to ride at Coonamble and was very concerned their trip would be an expensive waste of time if the meeting was cancelled”, Connie Greig explained. Due to the acute shortage of
picnic riders in NSW, trainers had been scrambling to fi nd enough for the championship fi nal. Gavin Groth (Danspur), Peter Kirby (Broo Boss), Wayne Prisk (Knee Slapper), Doug Gorrel (Georgian Court) and Peter Sinclair (Fiocchi) had secured Will Stanley, Todd Bailey, Emily Waters, Anaelle Gangotena and Ricky Blewitt respectively for their five runners. Connie Greig, winner of the Picnic Trainers Premiership, had qualified seven fi nal acceptors with the Picnic Jockeys Premiership winner Leandro Ribeiro booked for Gossip, Breanna Bourke (Billy Bent Ear), Michael Wade (Get Up Alby), Wayne Wheatley (Linden Tree) and John Wilson (Equilibrium) while the Victorian-based riders Shaun Cooper and Leigh Taylor were booked respectively for Brooklyn Star and Valadyium. “I kept checking the weather observations and noticed Coonamble was dodging the storms but after midnight the showers began,” said Greig. After rain caused the postponement of the Cowra meet-
Bowls abandoned but big comps loom Contributed by RICK BOHM ONCE again wet weather resulted in no bowls played last week up at the Bowly. So in theory there should be no bowls column, but ‘nothing to report’ doesn’t mean I can’t waffle on about what’s on down the track.
These include the Consistency Singles Championships in November and our annual Triples tournament in early December. Pending a few formalities with regards to sponsorship, could see the prize money for the Triples escalate to somewhere around
$4000.00 in total. Get in quick if you want to compete. Robert French, that champion bloke, is back in Dubbo after a recent hospital stint in Sydney and is expected home in Narromine soon. See you all next week.
Golf washed out Wednesday but not last weekend... Contributed by NORM LEWIS AND KALE BOCK NARROMINE golfers did play their weekend competitions despite the heavy rain which did fall over the past week. The week started with the cancellation of the Business House competition on Wednesday. Further rain fell but the sun came out over the weekend and it was possible to play the scheduled competitions on Saturday and Sunday. The course is standing up well to the conditions but the scores are not as good as usual. Saturday’s event was a 4BBB stableford which attracted a field of 13 players.The event was won by Ryan and Blake Richardson with 39 points. Runners-up on a
count back were Matt Gainsford and Tim Wiggins on 39 points. Tim Wiggins had a good weekend when he collected the Jackpot prize on the ninth hole. Peter Hutchinson won the long drive on the ninth hole while Tony Harding won the nearest-the-pin (NTP) on the 17th. Only a small field of 10 players took part on Sunday in a stableford competition. As can be seen from the scores, the course is suffering from the consistent rain. Narromine is lucky that at least the course is playable. Some of our western clubs are under water from the floods. Tony Harding won on Sunday with 27 points from Greg Barling on 25. There were no winners of the birdie jackpot or the NTPs.
Tony Harding won the Long drive on the 4th. Hopefully golfers will be able to play in the upcoming events planned for this weekend: an 18hole stroke event for the monthly medal fi nal (both A and B Grades) and the last of the club championship events, the Mixed Foursome Championships over 36 holes. Good luck to all competing. The Junior Clinic will be held as usual this weekend. Club Members are reminded the Annual General Meeting will be held in November. Check out the Notice Board in the Clubhouse. That’s it for another week. Let’s hope the weather is kind to us this week. See you all at the 19th.
ing on Saturday afternoon, chief steward Dean Bucknell drove to Coonamble and stayed overnight to assess the track at fi rst light on race morning. “Dean Bucknell phoned me at 6am to inform that several sections of the track had been adversely affected by the overnight rain and the meeting was postponed.
“Fortunately, I was able to contact Shaun Cooper and Leigh Taylor and they cancelled their fl ight due to leave Melbourne at 7am,” Connie Greig revealed.
At time of writing, a decision was still to be made regarding when the Picnic Championship Final and Coonabarabran Cup will be held.
The Final has already been postponed twice, Coonamble (October 9) and Coonamble transferred from Coonabarabran on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Dubbo is expecting a huge crowd this weekend and another big attendance the following Tuesday for Melbourne Cup Day.
Ladies golf season concludes with memorial trophy rounds Contributed by DALE HARDING LAST Saturday we played a par event for the Jean Walters memorial trophy. Toni Martin, who is one of Jean’s daughters, travelled from Sydney to play golf with us. The winner of the trophy was Viv Halbisch with +1. The ball winner was Carol McCalman with -1 and nearest the pin was Gail White. Our last day of the season was on Wednesday, but unfortunately we couldn’t play golf because of the weather. We were playing the inaugural round of the Betty Green memorial trophy which is donated by Ron Green and his family. Unable to play golf, about 30 of us gathered for a delicious lunch which was provided by Ron, Christian and Nadia. Thanks to Ron and his family. We presented the following end of year trophies: Most Birdies for the Year went to Vicki Gainsford (A-Grade), Jenny Fitzgerald (B-Grade) and Wendy Jeffery (C-Grade). Eclectic for the Year were won by Vicki Gainsford (A-Grade), Wendy Jeffery(B-Grade) and Marj Kelly (C-Grade). The trophy for the Most Putts Sunk From Off The Green (also known as “Gobblers”) was donated by Dale Harding and won by Michelle Ashdown. Our season may be over but we can still play Business House golf mid-week and Gerries on the weekends. Thanks to the Narromine Star for publishing our golf notes.

Gerries’ summer golf comp underway Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Saturday, the Gerries’ Summer Comp got underway for the 2022-23 season with both women and men competing. The weather was kind to the players and a field of 16 players faced the starter on a cool and cloudy morning. The ladies played the front nine with a field of seven players and the winner on the day was Vicki Gainsford on 18 stableford points, just beating out Gail White on 17 points. Anne Harmer was a convincing winner of the NAGA prize on seven points and there was no winner of the nearest-thepin (NTP) for the girls. Over on the back nine, nine blokes fought out the men’s division and the winner was Ron Jackson on 22 points from consistent runner up, Jamie Roberts, on 20 points. There was a tie for the mens NAGA prize between Bob “Fletch” Fletcher and Vince Ferrari on 14 points. After the count back, “Fletch” was declared the winner. As with the girls, there was no NTP winner so the prizes jackpot to next week. There were only enough players for one match in the pool competition. Chris “Pom” Harding and Greg Kearines were up against Bob Fletcher and Ron “Jacko” Jackson. “Pom” won the break and potted a ball off the fi rst shot and then knocked the black in to give victory to “Fletch” and “Jacko” without even playing a shot! A decision was made to play a second match and here “Fletch” and “Jacko “ran out convincing winners to claim the title of Pool Champs for the week. This gave Ron Jackson a winning double with the golf and the pool. Well done, Ron. This weekend, the ladies will play the back nine with men on the front nine and let’s hope the weather is again kind to us. For tee off times, contact the club. See you all at the 19th.
Winners are grinners. Ron Jackson took the double last week, winning golf and pool at the Gerries’ Summer Comp.
Vicki Gainsford won the women’s Gerries comp last week.

Trangie Magpies set to fly again By SHARON BONTHUYS FOLLOWING a successful AGM last weekend, the Trangie Magpies Rugby League Club is set to fly once again in 2023. Luke Phillips was returned as president and will lead the club into the new season with renewed hope for a stellar year.
Joining Luke on the committee is Paul Milgate as senior vice-president, and an announcement will be made on the treasurer position in the near future. The secretary position remains vacant, but Sam Hohnberg will take up the role of junior vice-president while Lyn Hohnberg and
Lyn Taylor are the canteen managers. “It was in agreement that the [secretary’s] role be left vacant until the right person is ready to take on the position. If you think you’re that right person, please reach out and let’s have a chat,” Luke said. He is also keen to engage a coach for the ladies’
league tag team and fill volunteer roles to support the club’s operations. Hayden Ellis and Jackson Baker are the captain-coaches for 2023. “Both Hayden and Jackson have acknowledged that the club’s survival depends on making sure we can run onto the field every week with as
many local players as possible. “Our new coaches will be targeting local players and will be building around them to make sure that the team is as strong as possible, as well as having a sustainable future,” Luke said. It’s a promising start to the next season and we wish the Magpies all the best!
