THE NARROMINE STAR’S FIRST ANNIVERSARY
Passive protest: Yellow ribbons around cemetery trees By SHARON BONTHUYS YELLOW ribbons were tied around several trees at the Narromine cemetery last week as a “passive protest” at the council’s proposal to remove 34 kurrajong trees and possibly other species, and replace them with water gums. The “passive protestors” insist this action is not a stunt, but a timely reminder to the local community to make their views known to Narromine Shire Council during the proposal’s public exhibition period which ends next week. Yellow ribbons have come to signify support for different causes over the years, popularised by fi lms, literature and a famous 1970s song. The community has been invited to make written submissions to the council on the proposal. “The kurrajong trees are unsightly and pose a threat to nearby graves and roads due to their root system. Council is now seeking community feedback in relation to this proposal,” the council’s website states. Further details about the proposal are available in the infrastructure and engineering reports tabled at the September council meeting, also available on the council website.

Trangie servo uncertainty still lingers By SHARON BONTHUYS A week ago the Narromine Star reported that the Trangie Caltex will close when its current lease expires on December 4. We have since followed up with several stakeholders and potentially interested parties. These included the Narromine Shire Council, Transport for NSW (TFNSW), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) and UGL Regional Linx (UGL).
Poor communication a factor FROM the information we have been able to glean, agency restructures, changeovers in asset management and poor communication between stakeholders have contributed to the situation that will see Trangie without a fuel provider from next month until the transition to a new provider is completed. The Mayor of Narromine Shire Council, Cr Craig Davies, told the Narromine Star that he is very disappointed that the processes he thought were happening in relation to the changeover were not communicated to him earlier. He has had a number of conversations with various stakeholders during the past ten days, taking time away from a family holiday in Queensland to deal with the matter. “My understanding was

During that period there has
been a restructure in Transport for NSW (TFNSW), and a change of ARTC asset management from John Holland to UGL,” Cr Davies said. John Holland had previously managed those rail assets in country NSW until UGL took over

in January 2022, he said. “Yes, we know the site needs to be rehabilitated. That’s a given when there’s a change of hands of a fuel site,” he said.

Farewell to Charles Sturt University.
PHOTOS: BROOKE CHANDLER.
By BROOKE CHANDLER, FORMER REPORTER FOR THE NARROMINE STAR IN a near empty office space, a content plan was born – a plan aimed at bringing back the voice of the Narromine community. It is certainly hard to believe that was 12-months ago! During that time A LOT has happened. As of October, I am now a certified journalist having completed my bachelor of communication (journalism) at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst. It has been a threeyear journey met with significant, but ultimately, worthwhile challenges. This time last year, campus had been abruptly closed (again) due to COVID-19 lockdown. I had returned to my hometown of Dubbo and was put in contact with the wonderful editor Lucie Peart. Trusting me more than I trusted myself, she allowed me to plan, source, write and create up to 24-pages of weekly content for the Narromine Star. From there, I became a very familiar face around town, crafting and sharing every infrastructure development, centennial celebration or sporting achieve-
ment – to name a few. Launching the fi rst edition of the Narromine Star on November 4, 2021 continues to be one of the highlights of my career so far. University summoned me back in March of this year and I have certainly been a busy girl! Amongst my fulltime study, I have worked four casual roles in various locations. I have been tripping to Sydney two weekends a month to work as a liaison producer for Sky News Australia. This was a role I secured following a two-week internship. In Bathurst, I continued my role as editor of Charles Sturt’s student voice blog, Charlie. I also started as an intern at the university’s radio station, National Radio News. After considerable guidance, I was promoted to producer: researching, writing and recording five state bulletins which were then aired by over 100 Community Broadcasting Association of Australia radio stations. The age old saying of ‘it’s not what you know, it’s who you know’ couldn’t be more true! In July, after acquainting myself with some industry professionals, I was
approached to work as a reporter for Win News Central West. They had been struggling to fi ll the full-time role – as many businesses are these days – and asked myself and my friend Emily to cover that role as casuals. It was an opportunity, one I was hoping to secure post-graduation, that I could not pass down. So three times a week, I have been commuting to Orange to report the happenings of my beloved central west. I have loved every minute of it! So now that university is done and dusted, what’s next? Well, I have recently moved my belongings back to Dubbo and will be spending November tripping solo around the UK and Scotland. There is plenty of history there I need to soak up! Upon my return, I intend to move in with my longterm boyfriend in Wollongong and secure a fulltime reporting role. Yep, it’s all happening! But amongst it all, I often reflect on my time at the Narromine Star and all the opportunities it has seen afforded me. What a milestone one year, with many more to come!

RSL reaches out to nashos and other vets
Shop local starts again across the shire By SHARON BONTHUYS AS the end of the year approaches, the local business community in Trangie, Tomingley and Narromine will participate once again in the ‘Shop Local’ promotional campaign. Starting this week and running for almost six weeks, the campaign led by the Narromine Shire Council encourages locals to spend money in their own communities. ‘Shop Local’ campaigns are held all over the world and are known by many different names. They all have the same issue at heart, though: keeping money in local communities. And while they are great economic drivers, there are other reasons why they are important to communities. ‘Shop Local’ campaigns have been proven to generate positive results for both businesses and shoppers, helping build a sense of pride in local communities and the desire to spend money locally fi rst before going farther afield. Shoppers also save time, money and fuel by browsing and

buying in their local areas. American rancher and small business author Becky McCray says a well planned ‘Shop Local’ campaign “can make a difference to your local economy, your community, and your services.” These campaigns provide an opportunity for businesses to showcase their goods and services to the local community and celebrate their uniqueness. “Keeping everything simple and straightforward is important. It’s also important to adapt to your town’s character, because every town is a little different,” Ms McCray says in her Shop Local Campaigns For Small Towns guide. In the Narromine Shire, the ‘Shop Local’ campaign will run until almost mid-December and will include a late night shopping event. Residents will have the chance to win some great prizes by shopping local during this campaign, which is one further reason to support it. Further details will be available in next week’s issue.
THE Narromine sub-branch of the Returned and Services League (RSL) is reaching out to ex-service personnel in the central west to ensure they are not missing out on the benefits to which they are entitled. Secretary of the Narromine RSL, Diane Beaumont, is on a mission to connect with veterans in communities that don’t have an active RSL sub-branch and ensure that they are connected with the wider RSL organisation to help receive their entitlements. Some don’t even know they are entitled to veteran benefits, she said. Diane has spoken to some angry ex-service personnel over the years who don’t believe they are entitled to anything. The trauma from the Vietnam confl ict and the subsequent shunning of veterans returning from that confl ict, by the community, the government and the RSL itself, is still raw for many veterans. And Diane should know – she was one of them and also resisted the call to join the RSL herself for many years. Diane served her country as an Army driver for four years during the Vietnam confl ict, based at Randwick. Describing herself as a “Nasho”, the term given to

those who were conscripted into the defence forces (women were excluded from that process), Diane feels a strong affinity with those who served their country through national service (the Nashos). “I was one of them. I refused to join the RSL despite them being on my back about it 24/7. They kept saying ‘join, Di, you can help others by joining’. And I asked them why should I join when [the organisation] turned their back on us for 25 years. We did not exist. Then one day I swore and said, ‘why don’t we
join?’ She hasn’t looked back and is now doing what she can to help other veterans through the RSL. Diane has reached out to veterans in Trangie and Warren, communities which no longer have operational RSL sub-branches, inviting them to come under the banner of the Narromine RSL sub-branch. “I’m not here to take things away from [any local organising] committees. I’m here to help, not to hinder. If you are an ex-service person or know of someone who is and has not engaged with the RSL, reach out to Diane and have a chat about how the organisation can help. In preparation for Remembrance Day on November 11, the Narromine sub-branch will sell badges this week at the kiosk in Dandaloo Street. Diane will then do the same in Warren in front of the IGA on November 8, and on November 9 at Trangie in front of the newsagency. The Narromine sub-branch will round off that week by hosting a Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph at 11.00 am on Friday, November 11, in Narromine. All are welcome to attend. Lest we forget, and thank you to all past, present and future defence personnel for your service.

LAST month we brought you the story of Jesmond McLeod and her beautiful Great Dane, Agnes, who were raising funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Sydney facility through the Paws for Sick Kids initiative. Jesmond and Agnes aimed to walk 100 kilometres during October as part of this initiative, aiming to raise money to cover several nights’ accommodation at the RMHC Sydney. It costs about $160 per night for a family to stay at the facility. “I just wanted to let you know how our fundraiser month fi nished up,” Jesmond told the Narromine Star. “Agnes and I managed to get to 101 kilometres with $1,150 in donations, which is just over seven nights at RMHC Sydney,” Jesmond said. “We are so grateful to everyone in our community who supported us and RMHC Sydney.” Well done, Jesmond and Agnes!

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, November 3, 2022
Trangie servo uncertainty still lingers From page 1 Cr Davies said that the rehabilitation work involves some of the underground fuel storage tanks but what is required is not known at this stage. Cr Davies believes the asset manager, UGL, and Ampol should have come to an agreement about what was to happen with rehabilitation of the Trangie site. A spokesperson for TFNSW told the Narromine Star that the department “and our contractor UGL Regional Linx, are working with all parties including the Narromine Shire Council to ensure a smooth transition between lessees so that Trangie continues to have a service station.” No further information was provided. The Mayor has asked TFNSW to facilitate a Zoom meeting between all parties involved. “[This is] so everyone knows where the process is up to, where the bottlenecks are, and what needs to be done to ensure we can get a decent outcome.”
Concerns for community and business THE Mayor is concerned about the social and economic impacts on Trangie if the town is without a local fuel service for potentially some time. The employment of several local residents at the existing business will be impacted. Trangie also has several elderly people with restricted driver’s licences who can only drive within or around the town. Those people, including Trangie’s oldest registered driver, Les McKinnon, who turned 100 earlier this year, will need family or friends to drive to Narromine or other location to refuel their vehicles for them. The impact to visitors and long-distance travellers passing through is also of concern, as is the economic hit to local businesses when residents have to travel away to refuel. The additional cost to residents to travel away is a further hit to the hip pocket, Cr Davies said. “If there’s no fuel, Trangie residents will have to travel to Narromine and while they’re
down there, they’ll do their shopping. Our retail sector in Trangie is going to suffer very significantly. “We’ll have five young ladies out of a job in the lead up to Christmas. We’ve got a number of elderly people with licences just for Trangie. “We’ve got harvest coming up. It’s nothing to see 50 or 60 trucks [from contract carriers] coming into the district for harvest. Where do they get their fuel from? They get it [at Trangie]. And we’ve got a bushfi re season coming up that could be like no other,” he said.
DAs can’t progress while issues unresolved THE Mayor said three development applications (DAs) are with Council in relation to the service station site. One involves establishing a temporary site while the existing site is still there, so the temporary site can operate once the existing site closes. The second DA is to take the old site down, and the third is to build a new permanent site somewhere on the block that is more suitable, he said.
These DAs have been approved to the extent that they can be while certain conditions are still to be met. With the internal processes between stakeholders UGL and Ampol still to be resolved, these DAs cannot progress. The Narromine Star approached the EPA for comment, as the question of that agency’s potential involvement in the rehabilitation process was raised with us by another stakeholder. A spokesperson for the EPA responded that the agency “is not the appropriate regulatory authority for this site, and enquiries should be directed to Narromine Shire Council as the appropriate regulatory authority.” ARTC and UGL were also contacted for comment about this matter. ARTC has no involvement in the management of the assets as this is the responsibility of country rail asset manager UGL. UGL did not provide a response prior to our publication deadline.
Community angry THE Trangie community has a right to be angry and the views expressed on so-
cial media following publication of our story have certainly shown that to be the case. Some of those views include: f “Older folk and just locals in general have to drive further and spend more money on fuel just so they can get around town. f “We were told so much was happening and now to be told it’s just going to be closing down. f “Our little town is going to be without fuel even though we were told there would be a portable building and portable bowsers for us to trade from. f “Forced to leave for fuel so will begin to start shopping elsewhere.” It’s clear that there is no “quick fi x” to this situation. When the required rehabilitation work has not been carried out by this late stage, solutions are not going to magically appear overnight. We will continue to follow this situation and report back as we know more. If you would like to make your views known, please feel free to contact me on 0401153100, email newsroom@narrominestar.com.au or message us via our Facebook page. Letters to the editor are also welcome.

Passive protest: Yellow ribbons around cemetery trees
Ribbons along an avenue of trees at the cemetery.
Yellow ribbons were tied around several trees at the Narromine cemetery last week, including this palm tree. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
Yellow ribbons have come to signify support for different causes.
From page 1 The issue has blown up on social media following detailed posts by highly respected local historians Bob and Norma Meadley, who argue that the trees should be retained and that further investigation into the health of the trees is warranted. Comments in response have included: f “I’d like to see a qualified expert report as to why the trees are looking ‘unsightly’ rather than rely on someone’s personal opinion. f “If trees are dangerous they should be removed, especially if they are going to damage graves as they
are our loved ones that are buried there and it’s hard enough losing them. f “How old are the trees and how many years will it take to grow the gums? What is the issue with the trees? f “Council is well aware of what is affecting the trees having been advised since 2020. f “These heritage trees, that go back to the establishment of the cemetery, are part of Narromine’s history.” There is also a letter to the editor in this edition about the subject.
Chair of the newly formed Terrestrial Toxicity Taskforce, Pennie Scott, who has a Masters in Applied Science in Agriculture and Social Ecology, viewed the cemetery’s kurrajong trees during her visit to Narromine last week. “These are distressed trees. I have these on my property at Canowindra and mine are flourishing. They do not look like this,” she said. The public exhibition period concludes on November 8 and the matter will be further considered at a future council meeting.

Celebrating 100 years of Vinnies’ shops
The Narromine Golf Club.
By SHARON BONTHUYS THE St Vincent de Paul Society NSW is celebrating a century of Vinnies shops. Late last month, volunteers from Trangie and Narromine’s Vinnies shops held special morning teas in honour of the statewide milestone. Both towns have had Vinnies shops for several decades. Those who volunteer their time to work in them will tell you about the value each
shop brings to their respective communities. The Narromine Star was a guest at functions in both towns on October 27 where Vinnies volunteers were thanked for their hard work supporting their community. Due to space constraints in this week’s paper, we are unable to bring you the full story and the many photographs taken on the day. This story will appear in next week’s issue.

Narromine florist: a long held dream By SHARON BONTHUYS WHEN Jane Irons opened her new floristry business in Narromine recently, it was a case of the stars aligning. Slowly but surely. It started five years ago when Jane studied a floristry course as a hobby. When her parents retired she bought their farm with its iconic gum grove, did more courses, and looked further into developing markets for the products generated from it. Then she found local florist Lyn Wallace was interested in selling her business. For Jane, a long held dream was starting to take shape. “I really do feel like everything just fell into place. We were thinking about developing a floristry business and then Lyn was selling hers. My mum said she would help, as I couldn’t do it on my own. “The next day I was literally driving down the street and saw the ‘for sale’ sign in the butchery and thought it was just meant to be,” Jane said. Jane bought the former Duff butchery on Dandaloo Street, which had become available following the passing of Narromine stalwart Richard “Dicky” Duff earlier this year.
That shop already had everything Jane needed for her new business, such as big wash tubs and a cool room. It also had main street frontage and visibility to passing traffic. The stars were indeed aligning. Jane started renovating the shop and it opened to the public in September. “I grew up waiting for the bus in front of the Duff butchery and regularly saw Mr Duff washing down the path or sweeping while waiting there,” Jane said. “I’m very happy to turn his shop into another lovely business.” Jane now runs the florist shop with the help of her mum, Chrissie Samuels. They are very pleased with the response to their new business. “Lots of people are supporting us and we’re getting more business now that people know we’re here,” Jane said. This includes orders from other towns such as Trangie, Warren, Nyngan and as far west as Cobar. “Being able to provide flowers to the community and to those places that otherwise don’t have access to fresh flowers is what we’re here for,” Jane said. For further details, see advertisement below.
The Narromine Florist has a wide varity of items for sale.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Labor’s Budget a blow to the Parkes electorate SADLY, the Parkes electorate was one of the biggest losers in Labor’s Federal Budget, which delivered several blows to our regions. The slashing of the highly popular Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF) was the most obvious insult, but after further digging I’m also disappointed to fi nd out that Labor will not be continuing the apprenticeship wage subsidy and instant asset write-off programs which made such a difference in my electorate, helping local businesses put on more apprentices and invest in new equipment. While childcare has been trumpeted as a winner in this Budget, it is not the case for regional Australia where affordability is not the main issue for our families – accessibility is. Funding rebates do nothing to help those families in the Parkes electorate who are unable to return to work because they can’t access childcare in their town. But not a cent will be spent on creating one single additional childcare place. Families will also be $2,000 worse off by Christmas as electricity and gas prices continue to rise, along with interest
AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo THE Regional Seniors Travel Card has been a massive hit in NSW over the past 3 years, injecting nearly $200 million into the state’s economy. Now we’re making this awesome initiative available to more regional residents, with the $250 Regional Apprentice and University Student Travel Card set to roll out next year. The prepaid debit card can be used for taxi trips, fuel, Opal card top ups, public
rates and grocery bills. And the prospect of water buybacks is extremely worrying for Basin communities across the Parkes electorate. After 10 years in opposition, Labor is clearly taking out its frustration on regional Australia, scrapping programs and funding that had significant benefit to the bush.
Building Better Regions Fund scrapped LABOR’S scrapping of the BBRF was arguably one of the biggest blows to our rural and regional communities. The BBRF has injected more than $46 million into the Parkes electorate since it was established, funding valuable projects like a retirement village in Narromine, a new library for Broken Hill and oval upgrades in Cobar. These projects are making a real difference in our communities and I’d challenge anyone who claims these are ‘rorts’. Countless organisations in the Parkes electorate invested time, energy and money into applying for Round Six of the BBRF, so to fi nd out that this has been cut is extremely disappointing. It means much-needed projects like a new childcare centre for Bourke or the extension of Macquarie Home Stay miss out on funding, further delaying proposed delivery timelines.
Innovative Broken Hill renewable energy storage project BROKEN Hill will have a more reliable back-up power supply when a disused mine is
transport, and privately-operated coaches – even electric charging stations! Apprentices and trainees will be able to apply for the card from February next year, with university students to follow in March. The card will be available through Service NSW. SEVERE weather warnings remain in place across our region this week, so I’m urging everyone to stay alert and prepare: f If you have a Home and/or Business Emergency Plan, review it now. Otherwise, have a conversation and plan for what you will do and take with you if you need to evacuate. f Consider the consequences of road and bridge closures and water over roads, and make alternate arrangements

technology, the company plans to repurpose a disused mine at Broken Hill for the development of a subsurface air storage cavity which will support the reliability of electricity supply for the city.

Regional, State & National news
Regional freight forum in Dubbo
By SHARON BONTHUYS MINISTER for Regional Transport and Roads, Sam Farraway, visited Dubbo last week as part of a regional speaking and listening tour to outline initiatives and talk about the future of the state’s burgeoning freight industry. Starting in Parkes on October 27, the Regional Freight Forum tour stopped in Dubbo on October 28. It will also visit Grafton, Tamworth, Singleton and Griffith before ending on November 11 in Narrabri. About 30 representatives from business, agriculture, the transport industry and local government from across the central west attended the Dubbo event. Minister Farraway was supported by the Member for the Dubbo Electorate and Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW, Dugald Saunders, and an executive team from Transport for NSW (TFNSW). “These forums allow us to engage with industry and to have important discussions with local freight operators and customers about their unique challenges and opportunities,” Minister Farraway said. “We are committed to improving the connectivity, capacity and resilience of our freight network in response to the changing needs of communities and business across NSW.” Freight is highly important to the NSW economy, injecting $66 billion, providing a
vital service to business and the community. The freight department was brought into the TFNSW portfolio after Mr Farraway became minister late last year. He acknowledged that widespread flooding and weather incidents across the state have caused massive disruption. “We are going to continue to have challenges.” During the forum all forms of freight were discussed. “We are moving into the final phase of the Fixing Country Rail Program. We’ve spent plenty of money on business cases. It’s time to build some infrastructure, look at some axle load limits, and where we can back in some very wise investments,” Minister Farraway said. The Minister said he would like to see more private investment in rail infrastructure that supports the future growth of business and regional contributions. “Rail is really expensive. I think we should do it in partnership.” The Minister said the $220 million committed for the New Dubbo Bridge across the Macquarie-Wambuul River will improve traffic efficiency, reduce congestion for local, visiting and freight operators and commuters, and improve access across the floodplain during flood events. “We need to keep the Newell [Highway] moving, and Dubbo moving.” Minister Farraway expressed great disappointment

in the two-year delay in federal funding for the Great Western Highway, saying the project was at an advance stage of planning when the delay was announced. “It’s a goat track, that highway. [The delay] impacts everyone west of the Great Divide.” He touched on Inland Rail and said the department would be supporting the project through the grade separation (overpass) process. He said that Inland Rail will create capacity and not take away from existing rail infrastructure. “We need to invest in our western line,” he said, indicating more work will need to be done with Australian Rail Track Corporation on the eastwest connection. A number of other projects were also discussed during the forum. A key project for the Narromine Shire includes the $32 million Mitchell Highway upgrade between Dubbo and Narromine, which is expected to be completed in 2024. Applications to Round 6 of the Fixing Country Roads program are currently being assessed and it is expected that successful projects will be announced before the end of 2022. The heavy vehicle rest stop improvement program has identified gaps in the network and where new provisions may be required for improvements to formal and informal rest stops. The fi rst round of stakeholder engagement around the
scope and type of rest stops has been completed. After lunch a panel convened where attendees could ask questions. Gilgandra Shire Council General Manager David Neeves asked the panel about natural disaster claims in the region. “We’re fi nding there’s not enough [qualified assessors] out there to do this work,” Mr Neeves said, expressing the frustration that many in the local government sector feel. “There’s an enormous amount of frustration with landholders when we as council say, ‘we’ve got a process to go through for a natural disaster claim where we’ve got to assess it, submit it, wait for an approval before we can repair the damage.’ That process really needs to be looked at and possibly fi ne tuned,” he said to the panel. “Our last claim was around $7 million. The same sections of road have been washed away each time. We’re not the only council that will jump up and down about this.” Mr Neeves said he hoped the government was also considering elements of ‘betterment’ so rural communities would not have to continually face the same damaged roads every time there was a natural disaster. Minister Farraway agreed with Minister Saunders that there was no magic solution to the consultancy issue, as there were simply not enough qualified people to do this work.
He agreed that repeated flooding events creating multiple claims in turn created a situation where it was impossible to determine when damage was caused. He would like to see ‘resilience’ built into the assessment process so that things are assessed and repaired quickly. “We have two betterment funds,” he said on that particular issue. “One is a $200 million betterment fund for those impacted by bushfi res, flooding and other events. And, for the fi rst time, we’ve got a specific regional roads betterment fund as a trial in northern NSW. This is a $312 million, 50-50 contribution between state and commonwealth,” Minister Farraway said. This regional roads betterment fund will have $10 million caps. Minister Farraway hopes it will be used for better designed culverts, drainage, approaches and things of that nature. “It has to be meaningful betterment. What we need for the long term is that if we can make this work, local, state and federal governments should be budgeting betterment every year. We need it to come from the top down. We need the federal government to support the states so we can support local governments,” Minister Farraway said. He hoped it would lead to a situation where there would always be a contingency including betterment in natural disaster funding.

Charity golf day supports melanoma research By SHARON BONTHUYS
GOLFERS will tee off for a good cause this weekend when the Doing It For Lionel Charity Golf Day is held at the Narromine Golf Club. The three-person ambrose event is expected to attract a big field whose efforts on the fairways will go a fair way towards funding the difficult task of fi nding a cure for melanoma.
The event is being held on the eve of the fi rst anniversary of the passing of Lionel McGuire, who passed away on November 6, 2021, aged 66. He had been diagnosed with an internal melanoma in the
groin just two months earlier. “Melanoma was such an unknown to our family and we had so much to learn in a short space of time. We did not even know they could be internal,” said Sally Everett, Lionel’s daughter. “Determined to create awareness of melanoma, the importance of being proactive with your health (if something doesn’t feel or look right get it checked) and regular skin checks, and not wanting to see another family watch their loved one suffer, our family is on a mission,” Sally said. Mission Melanoma is an initiative of the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation.
The event was originally meant to be held in October but was impacted by the spate of bad weather across the region and rescheduled. Proceeds from this week’s charity golf will join those raised from the Milestone Hotel’s monthly Keg For A Cause which is also in support of the family’s fundraising in memory of their loved one. “We volunteer our time to create awareness and educate. Sharing Dad’s story is often difficult as we miss him incredibly, but it is not as difficult as a battle with melanoma,” Sally said. Further details about the event are available on social media and from the golf club.
DEAR Editor, Bob and I visited the cemetery on Sunday. Council staff say the kurrajong trees are unsightly, not in proper tree avenues, and could pose a threat to nearby graves and roads due to its root system. We fi nd these statements amazing – yes they don’t look very good at the moment, but maybe what council should be doing is investigating why the trees appear to be sick. Could it be aerial spraying? It is wrong to say they are not in avenues; three lots of them and they are all in line! And some lines are nowhere near headstones. A threat to nearby graves; we studied the graves close to the kurrajong trees closely, and only two headstones appear to have shifted. But if one looks at the headstones in the middle of each religious section, nowhere near any kind of trees, then you will find there are heaps of headstones that are damaged. These headstones have been put in with piers that are not wide enough to hold the weight of the headstone and slab, so in wet weather they tend to sink. I would suggest that instead of council spending $34,000 plus on removing all the kurrajong trees, which will make the area look like a desert, that as a tree dies it be replaced by a new tree. We believe water gums don’t sound like a very appropriate tree for a dry area like ours. Who knows, after all the recent rain the kurrajongs may make a swift recovery. And what will happen to water gums if our rainy period is followed by a drought? We wonder if the reason the council wants to take the trees out is because they drop pods and this means their staff have to clean them up? We have two kurrajongs in front of our home on the roadway and for years we have spent every Sunday picking up the pods and putting them in our bin. Easily fi xed. If council has money to burn perhaps it might look at planting new trees in many of our streets in town. Council has removed quite a few wonderful old trees around town at the whim of ratepayers, but have never replaced them. In other streets trees have died and never been replaced. It appears the council is only interested in doing work in areas where visitors can see them, but for those of us ratepayers who pay our rates, we don’t count. We would seriously hope that council will review the decision to remove the trees and spend our money more wisely. After all the rain we have had, there are plenty of holes in our streets, perhaps they can fi ll them in. And don’t forget the birds who inhabit these trees, even the diving maggies, are we going to drive them out? Bob and Norma Meadley, Narromine
Halloween returns to Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS LATE afternoon rain and wind squalls did not stop the fun as Halloween returned to Narromine. Over 100 children enjoyed the early evening fun trick or treating at set locations around the town on October 31. Some 20 households registered for the event that was coordinated by local mum Stacey Brown. Participants visited homes listed on the map created by Stacey and received a Halloween
treat. We’re not aware of anyone getting “tricked” on the night, which is the other side to traditional Halloween fun. The rain, wind and looming deadlines for this paper kept the Narromine Star indoors on the night, so we have no photos of the action to share. But talented artist and Griffith University Bachelor of Animation student Ains Anna thought you might like the character she drew for Halloween.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, November 3, 2022 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Farmers still in the dark after talk with Inland Rail DEAR Editor I hope that you might fi nd some space in your newspaper for a summary of a meeting between local farmers and two Inland Rail representatives yesterday morning (October 26, 2022). The meeting was arranged with the understanding that we would be able to see drawings of the planned build for the Pinedene Road and Wallaby Road sections of the planned rail alignment. We were somewhat disappointed to learn that these drawings have not even been commenced and that it may take between 12 to 18 months until they are able to be viewed. A good many questions were asked of the two Inland Rail representatives regarding likely impacts of flooding on neighbouring land. Another area of concern was the enormous addition-
al costs incurred of having the alignment changed from the west of Narromine to the far more difficult and flood prone eastern alignment. Speaking for myself, I found that the answers provided by the Inland Rail representatives were very lacking in detail and were mostly just fl ipped aside. I might also say that the six men who gathered for this meeting were all inter-generational farmers with enormous knowledge of water flow and the various topographic problems associated within the area described. The other thing that I might mention is that once again these farmers all provided their time and experience free of charge during an extremely busy time in the lead up to their harvest period. The Inland Rail personnel were shown several problem areas for drainage
along the Pinedene Road and Wallaby Road down as far as the entrance to the Backwater Cowal. We were able to show them benchmarks of the water depths in this area during the 1955 flood. We alerted them to the problems that will occur if they proceed with the earth embankments that they have planned for the Dappo, Clearview and adjacent areas across the railway line to the Mitchell Highway. I am personally still looking for a positive to take away from the meeting. If it is to be found, it may be that the Inland Rail engineer who attended the meeting might ramp up the design capacity to cope with the enormous run-off situations that occur in this region of the Narromine Shire. Regards, Robert Webb.

Moorambilla Voices sing at opera house
View from the air – what an experience the children will remember.
By EMILY MIDDLETON FROM the central west to the steps of the Opera House, a contingent of 44 children sang to the masses over the weekend in honour of the iconic building’s 50th anniversary. Country children from across NSW involved in Moorambilla Voices were invited to be part of the ‘From the Steps: Voices at Dusk’ performance on October 29, as well as a special performance with ‘Big Heart Sing’ on October 30. Director and founder of Moorambilla Voices, Michelle Leonard OAM, said what the children achieved in 48 hours was incredible, performing to over 8000 people collectively, and singing their way around Sydney. “It was just genuinely nuts. Some 3,000 people were in the
audience on Saturday, and over 5,000 on Sunday with a choir of 500 other voices alongside them,” said Ms Leonard. “Coming out of covid, we never knew what was going to happen with Moorambilla. But having this opportunity with 44 students was just magnificent. They’ve accomplished so much over the weekend. I imagine they were all dead asleep on that bus home.” The ‘From the Steps: Voices at Dusk’ performance was held on Saturday night, with the Moorambilla Choir performing songs written especially for them by various contemporary Australian composers. Gilgandra artist Melissa Kelly was commissioned by Moorambilla back in 2020 to create ceramic trophies of a cat, fish, and a f lamingo that go on an adventure all

Four students were unable to make it to the performances due to flooding, but the Opera House and Moorambilla made sure they still felt included. “Everyone’s been so beautiful, generous and supportive. It’s been really humbling
and wonderful really,” said Ms Leonard. The children loved the opportunity to sing on such a large stage, and being part of the Opera House’s history. Mylee Bond from Trangie and Eddie Irons from Narromine were part of the group of 44 who performed at the Opera House. “Performing was the highlight of the trip, but the children also got to have some other incredible experiences like walking across the Harbour Bridge and visiting the Art Gallery of NSW. They also visited the crypt in St Mary’s Cathedral and got to experience those acoustics,” Ms Leonard said. Ms Leonard is proud of what the students have achieved and is appreciative of everyone’s support. But while the week-
end was a success, she would love to see the opportunity extended to other children. “These are not children who have the opportunity to perform in a choir every week. We really value the opportunities that we can give them, and the kids feel so empowered and it’s such a positive experience, it just shines through. “But we need the support of everyone we can get. We need people to know that rural NSW is phenomenal. We could only take 44 to Sydney, but I would love to take 144. “And it’s not the lack of ideas, or lack of capacity, it’s money.” This was the fi rst performance in the 17 years of Moorambilla Voices that the choir has performed at the Opera House.

Budget wrap up
By EMILY MIDDLETON
AHH... Budget. It’s overwhelming, I know. And sometimes the noise of differing opinions can get you bogged down in what actually is being delivered. So, I’ve done my best to summarise all the things that are relevant to our community. Please note this isn’t everything, and more details can be found on the budget website. There has been a lot of talk about the ‘slashing’ of the Building Better Regions Fund – something our community has significantly benefited from in the past. While this fund may have been cut down, new funds have been established in its place, as detailed below. The following are summaries of the official government budget document.
Regional Australia f Growing Regions Program THIS will fund local infrastructure projects such as libraries, and regional airport upgrades. f Precincts and Partnerships Program THIS program will have the government work with states and local councils to invest in place-based projects to transform regional centres. Some $1 billion is included in funding across these two flagship programs. f Priority Community Infrastructure Program and Our Communities Program GOVERNMENT will provide $1.4 billion in funding for local community, sport and infrastructure programs.
Agriculture f Farm output INVESTMENT in Australia’s biosecurity system, including enabling contract tracing of livestock from paddock to plate across Australia.
Health care f Urgent Care Clinics
THE government will provide $235 million over four years from 2022–23 to commence the roll-out of Urgent Care Clinics. f Medicare Fund GRANTS of up to $50,000 will be available, depending on practice size, to GPs to assist digital health capability, infection control, and meet accreditation standards.
Childcare f Cheaper childcare FROM July next year, childcare subsidy rates will increase up to 90 per cent for eligible families earning less than $530,000. Families will continue to receive existing higher subsidy rates of up to 95 per cent for any additional children in care aged five and under. f Expanding paid parental leave IN 2026, families will be able to access up to 26 weeks of paid parental leave. This is the biggest reform to the scheme since its introduction in 2011.
Housing f More affordable housing A target of one million new homes under a national housing accord. There is a new national housing accord, which consists of states, territories, Australian local government association, investors, and construction sector representatives. This accord has the aspiration of delivering one million new, well located, homes in the next five years. All stakeholders, including state and local governments, will work together to achieve this target. f Regional First Home Buyers Guarantee THE government will help 10,000 eligible fi rst home buyers a year in regional Australia to buy a home by guaranteeing up to 15 per cent of the purchase price. f Helping older Australians who want to downsize THE government is extending the exemption of home sale
proceeds from pension asset testing by 12 months. They are also expanding access to make downsizer contributions to superannuation for people aged 55 to 59.
Medicine f The PBS general co-payment will be lowered to $30 AS of January 1, 2023, the government will decrease the maximum co-payment under the PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) from $42.50 to $30 per script. f Cost-effective medicines THERE will be new and amended listings on the PBS and other medicine programs.
Wages f Improving pay and reducing income inequality THE Fair Work Commission delivered a minimum pay rise of $40 per week for low paidfull-time workers.
Education f Better access to training and skills THE government is delivering 480,000 fee-free TAFE and community-based vocational education places for over four years. f Well-being in education ALL schools will benefit from the student well-being boost, with the average school receiving $20,000 towards improving student mental health and well-being. This includes a new voluntary mental health check tool that will assist schools in identifying students who are struggling. f Schools Upgrade Fund THIS fund will support improvements to ventilation and air quality, as well as large refurbishments to public schools. f Teacher shortage THE government will invest in bursaries worth up to $40,000 each. There will also be an expansion of the High Achieving Teachers program. f University places THERE will be a one-off boost
of 20,000 additional university places. These places will be targeted to students from low socio-economic backgrounds, regional and remote areas, students who are fi rst-in-family to attend university, First Nations students and students with disability.
Power and energy f Rewiring the nation THIS rewiring will include 10,000 kilometres of new transmission lines, to upgrade the outdated electricity grid. f Powering the regions THE government will establish the Powering Better Regions Fund to help regional Australians access the economic opportunities of decarbonisation.
Resilience and recovery
Infrastructure f Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program $250 million to expand the program.
NBN and mobile connectivity regional
Small businesses f Energy efficiency of small and medium-sized businesses GRANTS will be available to invest in cost-saving energy efficient upgrades
Veterans
f Disaster Ready Fund $200 million per year on prevention and resilience initiatives, such as flood levees, sea walls, cyclone shelters, evacuation centres and fi re breaks. f National Reconstruction Fund THE National Reconstruction Fund will provide loans, guarantees and equity, partnering with the private sector. It will invest in seven priority sectors focusing on opportunities to add value to primary products and leverage Australia’s natural and competitive strengths. This includes resources; agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors; medical science; renewables and low emission technologies; defence capability; transport; and enabling capabilities.
f Connecting
rural Australia A $2.4 billion investment in NBN Co will extend fibre access to 1.5 million more premises, including over 660,000 homes in regional Australia. A year of free broadband for up to 30,000 unconnected families will help students access learning materials from home. f Better Connectivity for Regional and Rural Australia Plan FASTER internet for 755,000 NBN fi xed wireless users, including 120,000 satellite users upgraded to fi xed wireless
and
FROM January 1, 2023, the government will provide a $1000 increase in the annual rate of the Totally and Permanently Incapacitated Payment, to help veterans with rising cost-of-living pressures.
First Nations people f Uluru Statement $75.1 million will be provided to prepare for the delivery of a referendum to enshrine a First Nations voice to parliament in the constitution.
Ending violence against women f Women’s safety INVESTING $169.4 million for an additional 500 frontline community workers. Further money will also be invested out of the Housing Australia Future Fund to deliver 4000 social housing dwellings. These will be provided for women and children fleeing domestic violence, and older women on low incomes at risk of homelessness. Legislation has been introduced to provide 10 days of paid domestic and family violence leave.
New Dubbo bridge contract announced
ABERGELDIE has been selected as the successful contractor to build the New Dubbo Bridge across the Wambuul-Macquarie River, the floodplain and the adjoining road construction. “Recent severe weather events have once again highlighted the need for a second high level crossing of the Wambuul-Macquarie River at Dubbo, to keep our city open in times of flood,” said Member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders. “The New Dubbo Bridge project will leave a lasting legacy not only in terms of travel in and through Dubbo, but also in terms of the new skills and experience it will provide for the local workforce. Early works on the project commenced in August 2022 with the Brisbane Street and Darling Street intersection works now well underway. The New Dubbo Bridge is a $220.2 million investment, with major construction starting in early 2023 with a planned opening by late 2026.

Classroom News
Trangie Central School News Contributed by TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL TRANSITION has begun with a bang with 13 Year 6 students from both Trangie and Narromine participating. They had a day full of new and exciting things to learn and do including art, LOTE, ag, cooking and sport lessons. Year 1 looked at persuasive language and published “Wanted” posters for the wolf. Year 2/3 students were conducting experiments in science, with the aim to identify objects which light can pass through. Students are reminded not to forget their hats. Even though the weather has not been particularly bright or sunny, it is important that families still encourage their children to wear the school broad brimmed hat.
An all important reminder to not forget your hat.

NPS students visit “The Dish” Contributed by CLARE MACDONALD GILL NARROMINE Public School (NPS) Stage Three students had a fantastic day trip to the Parkes Observatory, made famous in the Australian fi lm “The Dish”. They were able to learn about the importance of the telescope and how it is used. They were also able to watch a 3D movie detailing how it was made. Watching a film about how the telescope was made.

Rotary Park play area closed for repairs following flood THE recent flooding of the Macquarie-Wambuul River has caused significant damage to the soft fall at the Rotary Park play area, and Narromine Shire Council has closed the area for repairs. Rotary Park was fenced off to the public from October 28. “Council staff are waiting for the ground to dry sufficiently to commence the clean-up and repairs,” said General Manager, Ms Jane Redden. “While the equipment may not be damaged, the wet ground and rising soft fall is dangerous, so we need residents to stay out of the fenced off areas. “Overall, there has been limited damage within the parks network given the amount of water we have seen over the past few weeks,” said Ms Redden. Council staff continue to do a great job maintaining the parks and gardens. Staying on top of grass growth in these challenging conditions is difficult, as residents will appreciate. Council would like to thank the community for its patience and understanding while Council staff work on the flood recovery right across the shire. Unfortunately, wet ground and continuous rain is hampering a lot of repair work, especially along the road network, said Mrs Redden.

THE highly anticipated gliding events due to be staged later this month, the Narromine Cup Week and the AusGlide 2022, have been postponed to next March. Like many other recent sporting events, these premier gliding competitions have fallen victim to the unprecedented bad weather which has wreaked havoc on large parts of NSW and other eastern states. The Narromine Gliding Club announced its decision on social media earlier this week to postpone the Cup Week event. “This is due to the unprecedented amount of rain in NSW which has closed roads and flooded surrounding paddocks, making soaring difficult and outlandings and
retrieves all but impossible and possibly dangerous. “The Narromine Gliding Club wishes to extend an apology to all of you for the disruption to your leave, travel and accommodation plans, but in order to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment it was considered a necessary decision,” the committee posted on social media. The Narromine Cup Week will now take place between March 4-11, 2023. AusGlide 2022, the Pre-Worlds Gliding Competition, was also set to be held in Narromine from November 27 to December 10, 2022, as a forerunner to next year’s world championships. This event has also been rescheduled for the same reasons, and will run from March 11-24, 2023.

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES
By COLIN HODGES HAVING been dominant over the circuit, it was fitting that Dubbo trainer Connie Greig and Sydney-based rider Leandro Ribeiro combined again to win the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final at Dubbo on Saturday, with Hemsted. C on n ie G r ei g h ad s i x o f t he 10 s t a r t er s w it h Hem s t e d sne a k i n g i nt o t he f in a l a s a t h i r d emer genc y,
Derby Day racing at Dubbo a f t er s c r at ch i n g ’s . For the picnic jockeys it was a big thrill to ride before a massive crowd at Dubbo and a worldwide audience watching on SKY, in the only race they contest all year which is included at a TAB meeting in NSW. The Brazilian born Leandro Ribeiro who is a trackwork rider for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable at Randwick gave a masterful display on Hemsted which he also part owns with Tommy Presits who watched the race on SKY in his home country Sweden. Cobar galloper Knee Slapper held a narrow lead from Brooklyn Star in the run
to the home turn, with Hemsted after jumping well, eased to midfield on the inside. Trained at Gunnedah by Gavin Groth, the $4 favourite Danspur with Victorian rider Grant Seccombe in the saddle, took the lead in the straight but was overhauled and beaten a length and a half by Hemsted ($5.50) with the Connie Greig trained Brooklyn Star ($5) ridden by another Victorian, Shaun Cooper, holding on for third. A strong fi nishing fourth was Linden Tree ridden by Wayne Wheatley for Connie Greig while Narromine-based Ricky Blewitt was aboard the fi fth placed Pyrmont for Mo-

ree trainer Peter Sinclair. Very happy to land a winning treble in front of his hometown crowd was Dubbo trainer Clint Lundholm with Royal Affair (Ben Looker, $4.60), Career Change (Jordan Mallyon, $2.35 favourite) and Let Me Reign (Ben Looker, $3.40). Clayton Gallagher seems to have the key to Money Not My God, being in the saddle for the only two wins for the enigmatic galloper in 24 starts. Trained at Narromine by Wayne Collison for Robert Gainsford, Money Not My God ($12) came from fourth on the turn to win the 1200 me-
tres Gainsborough Class One Handicap.
Not further back than fourth in the last 12 starts, the Bob Howe, Mudgee trained Petain was at the remarkable odds of $13 when winning the Hello Sport – Benchmark 58 Handicap.
A great ride by Tony Cavallo, saw Petain charge through a gap to account for Toulon Factor (Dakota Gillett, $6.50) and Inzaghi (Anna Roper, $19),in the fi nal race on a mammoth 10 event programme which had major sponsorship from the MAAS group.
Yay, no rain! Bowls good to go! Contributed by RICK BOHM WELL guess what... we had a break in the traffic, so to speak. No Rain! Yee-ha! Thus we managed to get the odd game of social bowls in. Thursday’s field looked more like an away fi xture with players from Warren, Nyngan, Trangie and Mackay outnumbering the locals. Anyhow, at day’s end it was Ross Tapp and Greg Wright who got most of the lion’s share of the loot on offer, with Bob Christoff and Peter Dalton having to settle for the runners-up cheque. Sunday’s numbers were bolstered by the Trangie boys paying us a visit. Some 26 keen soldiers jumped out of the trenches and straight into battle formation. It was Ross Tapp, Doug Ferrari and Henry Buttsworth who led the charge, taking no prisoners in their decisive victory which saw them atop the podium. In second spot was another formidable trio in the shape of John Brown, Lionel Ayoub and David McNair who claimed second spot, with Darryl Faro and Mick Edwards getting something out of the wreck for their efforts. The Consistency Singles were due to commence this weekend, but with just five nominations received, the match committee has decided to put this event on hold for the time being. Our own local Robert Handsaker Ford Triples Tournament is full steam ahead next month. For details and nomination information contact the club. Some excellent prize money is up for grabs and no doubt the “house full” sign is expected to go up. Well that’s all for me for another week, let’s hope the warmer weather keeps on keeping on.

Good field for Gerries golf
Col Shepherdson won the men’s Gerries comp, but it wasn’t his birthday.

Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Saturday presented a beautiful morning for golf and in such pleasant conditions a field of 21 players faced the starter for the weekly Gerries’ competition. The 11 ladies were fi rst away on the back nine with Wendy Jeffery coming home in fi rst place with a round of 21 points. Well done, Wendy, and what a special birthday present, hey? Close behind were two players, Dale Harding and Michelle Ashdown, both on 20 points. After the count back, Dale was declared the second place getter on the day. Viv Halbisch took the Nearest The Pin (NTP) and in doing so collected the kitty of seven golf balls. The NAGA prize went to Jeanette
O’Brien on 10 points while Vicki Gainsford took home the veggie tray from the ladies table. Over on the front nine, 10 men faced the starter and here again we had a close fi nish. Col Shepherdson took the winner’s trophy with a round of 21 points. A count back was needed to decide the second place getter which went to Ross Smith, who scored 20 points. Ross King was the unlucky loser also on 20 points. Smithy also won the men’s veggie tray with ticket #83. Jamie Roberts won the NAGA prize on eight points. There was no NTP winner. Six players took part in the weekly pool competition. In the opening match, Greg Kearines and Chris Harding played Ross King and Bob Fletcher. It was a rather lengthy

The favourites were away to a good start but that good player Terry almost pulled off a great win. Not to be, and Ross King and Bob Fletcher went on to win and become pool champs for the week. Next week the ladies will play the back nine with the men on the front nine at the usual hit off time. The Gerries would like to congratulate the Narromine Star and staff for the coverage of local events over the past twelve months. It is really a pleasure to pick up the local paper each week and keep up to date with local events. See you all at the 19th.
