Cody and Franklin bring inclusion awareness into central west schools By SHARON BONTHUYS SCHOOLS in the central west NSW are set to benefit from a new inclusion awareness program that started this term. Developed by local area coordinator Cody Jones and the Social Futures team in Dubbo, the My Friend Franklin program helps promote greater awareness of disability and inclusion within the broader community. Mr Jones, 26, has central hypotonia which impacts muscle tone and his mobility. He uses a metal walking stick called Franklin, which inspired the concept for the program he helped to develop and now delivers. “I never leave the house without [Franklin],” he said. The new program took about a year to develop, from concept stage to planning and preparation to deliver. With Franklin integral to the program, it was natural that this be included in the program name, he said. “The name [Franklin] doesn’t have a direct association with disability but can still connect in with me and what disability looks like for me,” Mr Jones said.

Get ready to party: the Venetian Carnival is coming! By REBECCA POWELL FOOD, fun and festivities are on the agenda this December when the much loved Venetian Carnival and Community Christmas Party will once again rock Narromine. Literally! You could win a festive ham or chook on the chocolate wheel run by those bastions of public service, the Lions and Rotary clubs of Narromine. There will be free, fun activities for the kids thanks to the support of the amazing organisations in our town, and keep an eye out for that jolly white-bearded guy from the north, Santa, who’s slated to make an appearance. Live music from Amber Lawrence, the Viper Creek Band and Georga Mae will have the crowd up dancing after all the hams and chooks have been won, and the kids have burnt off all that festive energy! The fi rst Narromine Venetian Carnival was held back in the 1950’s, and many of our residents will remember those days when this was truly the event of the year on the local social calendar. After years of hard work and dedication from the Lions, APEX and Rotary clubs, the long-standing tradition that holds many fond memories for Narromine residents will continue in 2022. This year, generous funding from the NSW Government will make the event even better. Bring a chair or rug, your dancing shoes, your family and friends, and come along for a free night of fun and entertainment to kick off the festive season.
