By SHARON BONTHUYS THEY’RE called many things: “bayou boat”, “fan boat”, “plane boat”, “swamp boat” and plain old “air boat.

Commonly used in the Florida Everglades, as well as the Top End, Northern Territory, the flat-bottomed watercraft has a powerful above-water propeller and can operate in shallow water.

While some readers may recognise the hardy watercraft from croc-spotting tours in Kakadu, or similar Everglade tours in the US, they are not a common sight in central west NSW. The Narromine Star spotted one of these “bayou boats” in downtown Trangie last Friday, strapped to a trailer.

Matt Gainsford and Ryan Landels were transporting the big green “bayou boat” to the Macquarie Marshes, where they will use it to muster cattle in the current very wet conditions.

The watercraft was sourced from the Top End, Matt said.

If you see them in action in the vicinity of the Macquarie Marshes, please send us a photo!

By SHARON BONTHUYS THERE was a lot of cheering and a few tears shed as

family, friends and staff of Narromine High School formed a guard of honour as the 2022 Year 12 cohort

arrived for their Formal.

The Soul Food Depot looked spectacular, as always, and all of the stu-

dents looked amazing on their night of nights.

Narromine SES is coming back: community asked to step up the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association.

Mr Rankin said the SES is currently gauging community interest through social media outreach but will hold some open days at the emergency services complex in the coming weeks to welcome community members and show them what the unit does.

“Craig is bringing a lot of energy and a lot of ideas with him into the role, which is great. He’s a local community member as well so he knows the needs of the Narromine community.

“I’m hoping that with his enthusiasm and the backing of the organisation we’ll get the unit up and running very quickly,” Mr Rankin said.

Re-establishing the unit at Narromine is a priority for the NSW SES. It is also timely given the SES is expecting some prolonged flooding through to March or April 2023 due to the La Niña weather cycle, Mr Rankin said.

The news of the unit’s reactivation has pleased Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies.

“It really is wonderful news that the Narromine SES is reforming. It is only through the dedication and sense of community that abides within this group of people that our communities can feel a sense of safety and reassurance in such volatile times,” Cr Davies said.

“That we have missed a major flood so far has been nothing short of a miracle and highlights that constructing a levee for the town is so important.

“To know that SES will recommence duties in Narromine is also most reassuring and I urge residents to please give thought to becoming a volunteer engaged in the safety and security of our community,” Cr Davies said.

“We will welcome with open arms anyone in the community who wants to give back to their community,” Mr Rankin said.

Further information about the Narromine SES unit can be found on the NSW SES website. The local unit also has its own social media presence.

By SHARON BONTHUYS AT a time when the Narromine Shire is still struggling to recover from months of bad weather that has closed roads, flooded properties, ruined crops and cancelled major events, the news that the Narromine State Emergency Service (SES) unit is reactivating is heartening.

Led by Unit Commander and Narromine resident Craig Walker, the reactivated unit will provide valuable support across the region. The nearest SES units are located in Dubbo, Warren and Nyngan. All three communities have experienced flooding in recent months, with Warren and Nyngan particularly affected.

NSW SES Community Capability Officer David Rankin told the Narromine Star that the local unit has been in hiatus for several months after a number of existing members moved away due to work commitments, including the former Unit Commander.

As a result, many of the requests for assistance at Narromine have been actioned out of Dubbo. This has placed pressure on SES resources to respond in the areas normally covered by the Narromine unit.

“We need capable, trained volunteers on the ground to keep the Narromine unit open and have that ability to respond locally,” he said.

Now that Mr Walker has come on board, himself a volunteer with five years experience, the move to rebuild the unit and get it back up and running in Narromine has begun, Mr Rankin said.

“We’ve started the recruitment campaign to fi nd volunteers to be part of the SES in Narromine.

“Certainly there is a renewed energy [within the wider community to help] and we’re seeing it right across the state and certainly across western NSW, the area I’m responsible for.

“We’ve got flooding everywhere from the Queensland border down to Mildura so we are seeing a groundswell of support from community members who want to jump on board

“There has been significant flooding along the Macquarie [River] since the beginning of the year.

You only have to look downstream to Warren to see the prolonged major flooding that they’ve been experiencing. The impact at Narromine hasn’t been as substantial.”

Mr Rankin said that there are many ways in which volunteers can assist the SES and encouraged the community to look at how they might be able to support the reactivated unit.

Operational staff are indeed the public “face” of the SES because that’s who people see when the SES responds to calls for assistance. But there are important non-operational roles for volunteers behind the scenes including providing administrative and logistical support, Mr Rankin said.

“I would like to stress that we don’t just need operational response staff in flood boats and up on rooves. We also need people who may come from an administrative background who may be able to assist the unit with book-

Light winds becoming northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h during the morning then tending northwest to northeasterly during the day. Overnight tem-

keeping and admin and all those sorts of things which keep the unit running,” he said.

Mr Rankin, who looks after 81 SES units in his role, said the SES has seen a number of retired people coming into units recently to assist with administrative and logistical support.

This is just as vital as operational support.

Volunteers joining the SES need to be trained in the basics so they are what the SES call “job ready”.

From there, volunteers will receive further training to develop skills needed by SES members. For operational staff, this will include things like working at heights, flood rescue skills, and so on, Mr Rankin said.

The Narromine Star asked Mr Rankin what might prevent people from being accepted as a volunteer. He said that the organisation assesses applicants closely, including carrying out a background check. A criminal background is a red flag in that process.

The Narromine SES unit will operate out of the existing emergency services complex on Manildra Street, which also houses

Country Mayors Association elect new Chair

Farming economy grew to new records last year

WHILE Australia may no longer quite ride on the sheep’s back, farming is and remains a central component of our economy, especially in regional Australia.

Agriculture in NSW contributes more to the economy than ever before – despite this year’s devastating weather events – with the total value of the industry rising by more than $2 billion last year to a record $23.1 billion.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Paul Toole, said that National Agriculture Day, which was celebrated on November 18, is the ideal time to recognise how our primary producers continue to go above and beyond, despite many challenges.

“Farmers are the backbone... and have shouldered the burden to keep supermarkets shelves stocked despite unprecedented challenges in the past year.

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

By SHARON BONTHUYS AT its AGM in Sydney on November 18, Gunnedah Shire Mayor Cr Jamie Chaffey was elected as the new chair of the Country Mayors Association (CMA) of NSW. The former deputy chair of the association replaces Parkes Shire Mayor Cr Ken Keith in the role. Cr Rick Firman from Temora Shire Council takes over as the new deputy chair.

Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies, joins Cr Kylie Thomas (Kyogle Shire Council), Cr Sue Moore

(Singleton Shire Council), Cr Russell Webb (Tamworth Regional Council), Cr Russell Fitzpatrick (Bega Valley Shire Council), Cr John Medcalf (Lachlan Shire Council) Cr Sam Coupland (Armidale Regional Council and Cr Phyllis Miller (Forbes Shire Council) on the executive led by Cr Chaffey and Cr Firman.

Cr Davies has previously represented Narromine Shire on the CMA executive.

Representing almost 70 rural and coastal councils across New South Wales, the CMA advocates for local

governments and issues that affect their communities.

“The CMA allows local government from regional, rural and remote NSW to come together to discuss issues of specific interest, to areas outside the major metropolitan centres as well as looking at the bigger picture of the whole local government sector within the State,” the Narromine Shire Council stated on social media on November 22.

Congratulations to Cr Davies on his re-election to the CMA executive.

Call for Army to help NSW recover from floods OUR roads are in such a state of disrepair that it is time to bring in the army, a key farming group believes.

With more than half of the State’s local government areas enduring a flood disaster during this almost unprecedented rain event, NSW Farm-

ers also says that there needs to be an urgent increase in emergency payments to flood-affected communities.

The Federal Government’s current $25,000 emergency payments for primary producers were just one third of the $75,000 offered to farmers

OVER 70 WAYS TO SAVE SAVINGS FINDER

impacted by earlier floods, the organisation said, with our roads also in such disarray that many communities will struggle to rebuild this infrastructure without greater support.

NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin said the Federal Government needs to mobilise Defence

personnel to support urgent road repairs, so that farmers can harvest what remains of their crops.

The Government also needs to rapidly approve visas to boost the number of workers in rural areas so communities could get back on their feet quickly, he said.

The NSW Government is helping reduce your cost of living by giving you more ways to save, including: • Up to $110 Gas Rebate • $250 Regional Seniors Travel Card • Up to $556 Free Car Registration Join the millions who have saved and use the Savings Finder to see all the vouchers and rebates you are eligible for, or book an appointment with a Savings Specialist.

Collections assisting flood-affected communities

By SHARON BONTHUYS SEVERAL businesses across the region are spearheading collections in support of flood-affected communities in the central west.

Inland Petroleum collecting for Condobolin The team at Inland Petroleum continue to live their motto “more than fuel”, collecting toys for the children of Condobolin which will be delivered as part of a Christmas toy run early next month.

“Anything big or small is very much appreciated. We are thinking of our loyal customers, friends, and families,” the team said on social media this week.

Initiated by Nathan Webb, sales manager for the Condobolin Inland Petroleum depot, donations of toys for children of all ages can be made by shire residents to the Narromine Inland Petroleum service station. They will be passed on to the Dubbo depot.

“I’ve seen fi rst hand the diverse effect this flood has had at Condo [and throughout the region]. It’s been flooding for almost a month. People who didn’t think they’d lose their homes did,” Nathan said. “[The collection] started off really good and we’ve got quite a lot of toys at Dubbo,” Nathan said.

Ideally, donations should be

Nathan said the flood has affected not only the farming community at Condobolin but the town as well. The impacts of the flood event and subsequent pressures on the entire community so close to Christmas was a big driver of the initiative, he said.

“Anything helps. Parents who have just lost their house and are trying to scrape together money to pay for things won’t have to worry about their kids,” he said.

A separate but related task is Nathan’s quest to obtain 100 donated hams to give to the Condobolin community for Christmas. Anyone who would like to donate to that initiative is encouraged to contact Na-

than through Inland Petroleum’s Dubbo office.

Sassie Hair and Beauty collecting for Eugowra The team at Sassie Hair and Beauty in Narromine is collecting in support of the Eugowra community. Inspired by a hair product sales representative who had been talking to volunteers at Eugowra, the Sassie team is now collecting toiletries, overnight bags, suitcases, clothes baskets, toiletry bags and general storage bags for that community.

Owner Britt Bayliss said she was more than happy to help out. She gets tremendous personal satisfaction from helping others.

“It just fi lls my cup up a little bit, that I’ve done my part and helped out.

romine was in the same situation that smaller towns or surrounding towns would come forward and help us out. I’m just doing my part in helping out.”

Britt and her mum, Shelly Bayliss, both did big shops to kickstart the donation process, buying items from the identified list. She hopes that more people in the community will get on board and support the initiative.

Donations can be dropped off at the Sassie Hair and Beauty salon at 75 Dandaloo Street, Narromine.

Their donations will be collected from the shop today (November 24) so please get in touch with the team urgently if you would like to donate items towards their cause. Any items donated up until lunchtime on November 25 will be transported by the Narromine Star team to Dubbo and taken to Eugowra by the friendly team at Social Futures, which will also be doing a donation drop to that community next week.

Social Futures collecting for Eugowra Social Futures is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) local area coordinator (LAC) and is supporting people with disability post-flood.

Lynda Hope, Manager – Capacity Building and Engagement (LAC) at Social Futures said the organisation had been working across many flood-affected communities in northern and western NSW and had staff at various recovery centres.

Four of their offices and the homes of several staff have been inundated in the north-

ern NSW floods, so they acutely understand the pain that central west residents are going through, Lynda said.

“Because we have staff travelling in and out of places like Eugowra, it’s very easy for us to take items in. It’s a really helpful and practical thing for us to do,” Lynda said.

The Social Futures team is looking for a specific list of items to be donated for Eugowra residents. Its staff on the ground at the Eugowra Recovery Centre have compiled a list of what is needed by the local community, which includes: f Electrical – microwaves, toasters, jugs, washing machines, extension cords, power boards. f Cleaning – mops, buckets, sponges, toilet brushes, plastic tubs, caravan toilet chemicals. f General – tarpaulins, barbecues and lighters, mozzie coils. f Specific requests – a wheelbarrow, one pair of size 9 work boots. f Building – power tools, hammers, screws, nails, spanners, shifters, screwdrivers, drills and bits, light bulbs. f Laundry – fabric softener, washing powder, pegs, clothes horses. f Kitchen – bowls, dinner sets, cutlery, sharp knives, tongs, egg lifters, can openers, kitchen utensils, saucepans, frying pans, ladies’ mirrors, tea towels, sink plugs.

The donation drop will take place next Monday, so items need to be with Social Futures in Dubbo by close of business this Friday, November 25. Donors need to drop off items only during business hours, as the organisation cannot accept anything after hours. The office is located at 156 Brisbane Street, Dubbo.

These generous and caring initiatives are to be applauded, as well as those driving them.

Often it is the first step on a difficult journey that is the hardest to take. These three organisations are helping those in need in a small but very practical way. The Narromine Star hopes the community will get behind these initiatives and support the businesses behind them.

In a separate story, we take a look at central west country music star Jason Owen’s donated gifts initiative which is aiming to bring some Christmas cheer to country kids.

Trangie celebrates NAIDOC

PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE’S NAIDOC celebrations went off without a hitch on November 18, much to the relief of local organisers who had to cancel two previous attempts to hold the event due to circumstances beyond their control.

Last Friday dawned bright and clear and it was perfect weather for the NAIDOC celebrations at Trangie Central School.

In the lead up to the event, Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council CEO Terrie Milgate declared: “This event has been postponed twice due to heavy rainfalls. [It] will go ahead rain, hail or shine.”

Organisers planned for events to take place in the

school hall and undercover areas in case of rain. The proposed Corroboree was cancelled due to the mosquito problem at present, especially in the grassed areas, and the uncertainty around wet weather, Terrie said.

The day started with a morning tea for all visitors, followed by a series of workshops including art, dance, storytelling with Auntie Iris, face painting, sports activities with Ronnie Gibbs, Cultural activities with Uncle Ralph Naden, and Bush Medicine with Auntie Beth and Uncle John.

A small number of agencies also had stalls at the event providing information about their services and activities. These included Transport for NSW (TFNSW), Social Futures,

Apprenticeship Careers, and the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Mark Hartwig from TFNSW spoke to students about driver licencing, employment opportunities, and exchanged oldfor-new bicycle helmets.

Michael Messner from Apprenticeship Careers said many young people were interested in undertaking apprenticeships and there was a skills shortage in trades like building, construction, and growing need in the area of aged care.

The Social Futures team of Hope, Reita, Frances and Daryl talked to locals about connecting in with the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Mark O’Neill from the Trangie Local Aborigi-

nal Land Council provided a range of information and spoke about the importance of NAIDOC and the Land Council’s work.

“NAIDOC is a wonderful community event,” Mark said.

The smiles on everyone’s faces around the campus certainly reinforced that as children of all ages and adult visitors engaged in the activities.

The Narromine Star spoke to Terrie Milgate during our visit, who was clearly relieved that the day could proceed after the previous events were cancelled.

“What a beautiful day after all we’ve gone through to plan this event,” she said.

“Thank you to everyone involved in planning and running the event, the workshop

providers, the community members that attended, Royal Flying Doctor Service for providing and cooking the BBQ, Catholic care for providing slush puppies for the children, and Aboriginal Affairs For funding the event,” Terrie said.

“These events don’t happen without a lot of work behind the scenes and the success of the event was evident in the attendance on the day and the cooperation of the students to be involved in the workshops.”

Congratulations to the Trangie NAIDOC committee on another wonderful day of celebration and Culture.

ARTC celebrates partnership with Clontarf Foundation THE Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its partnership with the Clontarf Foundation, which supports the education, training and employment of Indigenous youth in communities along the Inland Rail (IR) alignment.

On November 17, ARTC IRl representatives joined Goanna Academy founder and rugby league icon Greg Inglis at Moree Secondary College for a training session with Clontarf students from Moree and surrounding academies.

ARTC IR will provide $500,000 in funding over two years through the IR Skills Academy to support fourteen Clontarf Academies along the rail corridor in Queensland and

NSW. This funding is helping to boost school retention, develop leadership skills and create pathways to employment through training opportunities for Indigenous regional youth.

ARTC IR Interim Chief Executive Rebecca Pickering said, “ARTC IR supports the Clontarf Foundation’s goal of improving the education, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of our Indigenous youth.

“Together, through the IR Skills Academy, we are providing structure and daily support for Indigenous youth in schools across Australia.

“A major focus of Inland Rail has been to build skills in these communities [along the rail align-

ment] so they can participate in this once-in-a-generation project and others in the future.

“The IR Skills Academy is a catalyst for them to achieve that. This partnership between the Academy and Clontarf will deliver programs which build skills and prosperity in local communities.

“We need to have people ready to capitalise on the opportunities that IR will bring, and the IR Skills Academy is about facilitating opportunities for those willing to take the fi rst step on that journey.

“We are committed to playing our part in upskilling the nation and ensuring that different groups of people are given the opportunity to help build Inland Rail.”

Country star is doin’ it for rural Aussie kids

Jason Owen visits a small school as part of the DIFRAK outreach program. PHOTO: DIFRAK. COUNTRY music singer-songwriter and founder of children’s charity Doin It For Rural Aussie Kids (DIFRAK), Jason Owen, plans to lead the charity into its biggest year to date. He has set a goal of collecting and distributing 1,000 donated Christmas gifts for 1,000 rural Aussie kids.

Jason and his wife Becy founded the charity in 2019 and have reached over 1,600 children through their annual Christmas campaigns, and an extra 650 children through their Small Schools Program.

Born and raised in central west NSW, Jason and Becy are passionate about support-

ing kids and families living in rural and remote areas of Australia.

“For some struggling families, Christmas is just simply not on the agenda. We are honoured to be able to provide individual ‘Santa Sacks’ for each child,” a DIFRAK spokesperson said.

Nominations for Santa Sacks are open until next Wednesday. People can nominate themselves or someone they know. Donations of toys for the gifting program can be left with Trenleigh Fashions in Dandaloo Street, Narromine.

“Jason’s team also liaises with hospitals and support ser-

vices for families who may slip under the radar and would not reach out themselves for assistance with Christmas,” the DIFRAK spokesperson said.

The focus of the program includes families off the land, or families who are going through a serious illness or experienced trauma.

Planning is also currently underway to get Jason back behind the steering wheel to undertake a huge road trip, travelling over 10,000 kilometres across four States over three weeks to visit some of the most remote and isolated schools in Australia.

To date Jason has met over 2,250 school students and has enjoyed spreading messages of hope, motivation and resilience to the kids and enjoying a singalong with them. In 2021, DIFRAK partnered with Kids Helpline to address youth mental health.

“I really want rural kids and parents to know that it’s okay to reach out for help if they are struggling with anxiety,” Jason said.

“I’ve also struggled with anxiety growing up in a small town. I wished I had known back then as a kid that it’s better to share your worries, rather than let them fester inside.”

Jason recently released his new original single Country Heroes which reflects the work he does every year supporting isolated rural children and families doing it tough.

Railway station now a community hub

The secure covered platform is perfect for play and crafting activities.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE 140-year-old Narromine Railway Station is enjoying a new lease on life thanks to its new tenants, the Narromine branch of CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes (CCWF).

The community service organisation, which has operated a Narromine branch since 2014, saw an opportunity in the vacant heritage railway station building and approached asset owners, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), about tenant-

ing the space.

“ARTC was really receptive to our suggestion. They have been so helpful working with us,” said Jacqui Hull, a CCWF Aboriginal Families As Teachers Program Officer and Aboriginal Women’s Support Worker.

Six months later, after the company had carried out extensive refurbishment of the site, CCWF was handed the keys in October and began providing programs and outreach services from the historic space a few weeks’ later.

Cooking classes in the kitchen.

Jacqui gave the Narromine Star a guided tour of the new facility on November 17. The various sections of the building have different functions.

There is a kitchen for cooking classes, bathroom amenities, a storage room, and what used to be the waiting room in the station building now hosts regular group meetings as part of CCWF’s outreach.

The old administration section of the station is now a bright and bold play area for young children and hosts a regular playgroup. Children

whose parents or carers are attending programmed activities in other parts of the building are cared for in the children’s space.

“The kids walk in and they know this is their space,” Jacqui said.

“We hold a mums’ group, a children’s play group, a teens’ group and a women’s group here regularly,” she said. A podiatrist and dietician also make scheduled visits and men are also welcome at the centre.

Outside the building, the

covered railway platform is fenced and its gates are secured so the children have a safe space to play. The platform provides an excellent space for outdoor games and crafting activities, and shelters everyone during bad weather.

Jacqui said the children love it when the trains pass by and the train drivers wave to them.

CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes is thrilled with its new space and looks forward to further developing its outreach programs in 2023.

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

Thoughts with flooded communities

MY thoughts are with all the communities in the Parkes Electorate that are being devastated by flooding. The river system in the entire electorate is in flood and has been so for some time. This prolonged flooding event has been both devastating and exhausting for so many of my communities.

Condobolin is experiencing its highest flood since records began in 1894, while Gunnedah is cleaning-up after facing its sixth major flood in a matter of months.

Major flooding at Walgett is, however, slowly easing, while it continues at Brewarrina, Bourke and downstream at Louth and Tilpa. And so many other communities are also still flooded and isolated.

Unfortunately, I am unable to get to these communities due to the roads being cut, but I hope to visit as soon as I can, to talk to community members to fi nd out what they need to best recover.

In the meantime, I want to thank all the emergency services for everything they are doing to assist our communities, whether it’s delivering

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo FLOODING continues to really impact the Central West and Western NSW and my heart goes out to people in communities like Molong, Eugowra, and Forbes who are facing a really devastating clean-up.

While our region has been relatively lucky compared to some, there’s no doubt many are still feeling the impact of repeated flood events. I’m urging anyone who’s been impacted, to look at what support you may be eligible for at the following links: The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Pay-

essential supplies, helping with sandbagging, or undertaking rescues.

I’m also pleased that the Dubbo and Walgett Local Government Areas are now eligible for the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment.

This is a lump sum payment of $1000 for adults and $400 for children, for those seriously impacted by recent flooding.

Eligible individuals can claim via MyGov or by calling Services Australia.

Vietnam ag visa agreement honoured I’M pleased that Labor has honoured the agreement that the former coalition government had made with Vietnam under our Agriculture Visa program.

This is a win for the Parkes electorate and will allow local farmers to hire workers from Vietnam to help fi ll the significant labour shortage we’re currently facing.

In turn, this will help to boost our food supply and provide relief to shoppers at the supermarket. It’s a good outcome, made possible thanks by the hard work of The Nationals. However, I urge the Labor government to reinstate the ‘Ag Visa’ and include more countries to help ease our costof-living crisis. We need to do all we can to relieve the workforce shortages so farmers can have the confidence to plant full crops for future seasons

Ag shows funding cuts LABOR’S scrapping of the Rement (AGDRP) is a lumpsum payment to help you if you’ve been significantly affected by the current and ongoing New South Wales floods from September 14 through to November.

If your home or essential household items were damaged or destroyed by a storm or flood that is a natural disaster, you may also be eligible for the Disaster Relief Grant. The grant helps with the cost of replacing essential household items, as well as essential structural repairs, or full rebuilds for properties that are unable to be lived in.

Primary producers recovering from the devastating impacts of floods, can also apply for a Category D Special Disaster Grant. Once approved, primary producers may be eligible for a $25,000 up-front payment, with a further $50,000 in fi nancial assistance available thereafter upon submission of

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, has welcomed Labor’s commitment to honour the Vietnam Ag Visa agreement. gional Agriculture Shows Development Grants Program, is further evidence that this government doesn’t care about our regions.

This program funds important infrastructure improvements for local shows, with more than $1.6 million provided to hard-working show societies in the Parkes electorate, including those at Baradine, Binnaway, Condobolin, Coonamble, Mendooran, Mungindi, Walgett and Warren.

Reprioritising this funding, is another kick in the guts to communities in the Parkes electorate. For some communivalid tax invoices.

Small businesses and notfor-profit organisations affected by ongoing flooding in New South Wales can now apply for recovery grants of up to $50,000, as part of the jointly-funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

LAST Friday was National Agriculture Day, a great opportunity to reflect on the way our farmers go above and beyond to, not only put the food on our tables and clothes on our backs, but to contribute more to the economy than ever before!

Despite this year’s devastating weather events, the total value of the industry has risen by more than $2 billion last year to a record $23.1 billion.

We’re well on our way to agriculture becoming a $30 billion industry by 2030, and that is testament to our farmers’ hard work, day-in, day-out.

Mining projects at risk FEDERAL environment minister, Tanya Plibersek’s decision to reassess appro-vals for 18 major coal and gas projects, including the Boggabri Coal Mine and Whitehaven Narrabri Underground Mine Extension, is very worrying.

Farmers have also battled disease and pest incursions, continued biosecurity threats, increasing farm input costs like fuel and fertiliser, and geopolitical events causing supply chain pressures. The fact that the sector continues to prosper during all of this, highlights the resilience and determination of our primary producers.

Our cropping sector reaped the benefits of strong seasonal conditions to record a 43 per cent increase on last year to reach $11.9 billion.

Livestock industries also achieved a record value of $7.9 billion due to a recovery in sheep meat and wool production and higher lamb, beef, and wool prices. This demand supported higher farm gate prices and drove a 13 per cent increase on the previous year.

This year, we’ve also seen our exports reach a new record high of $10.9 billion, up a huge 64 per cent.

This will ultimately cost jobs and make it even more difficult for local families to pay the bills.

At a time when energy prices are already going up by 56 per cent, making it even harder for coal and gas projects to pass more environmental assessments, inevitably means supply goes down and cost goes up.

If the Boggabri Coal Mine and Whitehaven Underground Mine extensions do not go ahead, hundreds of local jobs will be lost, which would be devastating for the Narrabri and Gunnedah shires.

As Agriculture Minister, I’ve been proud to help support primary producers with a range of initiatives and reforms, including: f $229 million to prepare and protect NSW against Foot and Mouth Disease and Lumpy Skin Disease; f More than $202 million in the last 12 months to help flood affected farmers; f An emergency plan to eradicate Varroa mite in NSW, including an $18 million compensation package; f A coordinated pest management program with farmers on more than 60 million hectares of land; and, f A comprehensive review into on-farm renewable energy projects.

Farmers are the backbone of bush communities and the State’s economy, and we’ll continue to do everything we can to support them!

Until next time, Dugald

Have your say: Draft national volunteering strategy

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Star has published several stories this year about volunteering in our local communities.

A common feature in all of those stories has been the pressures faced by many local groups to provide assistance and services to their communities, but the groups still continue to soldier on in spite of those challenges.

Ahead of its national conference in Canberra next February, Volunteering Australia (VA) has just released its Draft National Strategy for Volunteering for comment.

“The draft is a culmination of feedback, ideas, and information from our discovery phase,

visioning workshops, volunteering in Australia research, and volunteering research papers,” a VA spokesperson said.

The draft national strategy will be open for feedback until early next month, and VA proposes to launch the new National Strategy for Volunteering at the conference next February.

“We encourage you to have your say and share the draft with your volunteers, colleagues, networks, and other stakeholders. This is an opportunity for you to help shape the roadmap for volunteering over the next 10 years,” the VA spokesperson said.

Further information is available on the VA website.

Community volunteer Norma Meadley can tell you so much about the history of the shire.

Marriages on the rise as celebrants celebrate their national day

By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST year just over 89,000 couples married in Australia, well below the pre-pandemic levels for the second year running, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Of those, 80 per cent, or 71,331 marriages, were officiated by civil celebrants.

The growing trend towards civil weddings was a point of discussion at events held around Australia on November 20 celebrating National Celebrants Day. Members from 19 different civil celebrant organisations across Australia gathered to celebrate the day that recognises the contributions and service by Australia’s celebrants.

A small group of central west civil celebrants gathered in Dubbo for a celebratory lunch and to reminisce about their experiences.

Collectively, the group has officiated at weddings and other ceremonies across the greater Dubbo area and many central west communities including but not limited to Tottenham, Warren and Coonamble, Gilgandra, Wellington, Geurie, and more. Several of the group also conduct funerals. They have fi lled in for each other when needed and provide support and encouragement to each other and to other colleagues unable to attend the lunch.

Helen McLean of Dubbo has been authorised for 28 years and recalled a memorable wedding experience marrying a couple on a fl ight to Antarctica several years ago. The legals were completed as the jet flew over Tasmania, and a celebration ceremony was held with the passengers as the air-

“I remember we were right over [the Tasmanian town of] Penguin when I married them.

I had to do it while we were still in Australian airspace,” Helen said. The onboard party over the Antarctic was a joyous occasion, she said.

Although the pandemic is over, the recent bad weather has affected many local weddings in the central west this year, with outdoor weddings particularly impacted. Rising floodwater has impacted some riverside events and at times torrential rain forcing couples to opt for their plan B or C. Peter Woodward recalled a recent wedding he officiated at where those involved had to be flown out by helicopter from a flooded property so the couple could marry as planned.

Flooding over low-lying parts of the Mitchell Highway between Dubbo and Narromine and routes inland to Warren and Collie from particularly heavy rainfall also caused issues for travellers seeking to get between towns for weddings during September and October. Widespread flooding continues to impact different parts of the central west.

The stats on Australia’s authorised officiants may surprise you. There are 10,000 civil marriage celebrants nationwide, as well as tens of thousands of religious or faith-affiliated celebrants.

Rounding out the figures are the more than 200 officials who are authorised to conduct civil marriages on behalf of the states and territories in regis-

try offices and courthouses.

With the exception of remote communities, rural and urban communities generally have ample choice when it comes to choosing how they will marry. The willingness and ability of civil celebrants to travel, as well as increasing numbers of celebrants in smaller communities, also increases the ability of couples to marry in rural communities.

Dubbo has 13 authorised civil celebrants, one authorised religious celebrant, and 28 authorised ministers of religion according to information available from the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s website which lists celebrants alphabetically by location and affiliation. The registrar of the Dubbo courthouse is also authorised to officiate at mar-

riage ceremonies on behalf of the NSW Government.

Outside Dubbo, authorised civil celebrants are also found in Narromine (three), Trangie (one), Nyngan (one), Cobar (one), Gilgandra (one), Parkes (six), Forbes (two), Mudgee (eight), Cumnock (two), Molong (1) and Orange (20).

While many religious congregations in communities across the central west are without a permanent ordained presence, civil celebrants can work with lay congregations in those communities to provide the legal elements to religious marriage ceremonies conducted by lay officiants.

This is often called “co-piloting” or “working in tandem”.

With the pandemic now behind us, it is envisaged that weddings will gradually return to pre-pandemic levels, which saw almost 114,000 weddings registered in 2019.

James Eynstone-Hinkins, ABS Director of Health and Vital Statistics, said after the record low 78,989 weddings in 2020, marriage numbers recovered in early 2021 before the Delta wave of the COVID-19 pandemic once again interrupted wedding plans.

“Marriage numbers in Victoria and New South Wales were particularly affected from June and July 2021 onwards as public health restrictions were stepped up. As a result, marriage registrations in 2021 were down 34.6 per cent in Victoria and 31.0 per cent in New South Wales when compared with 2019.

“Marriages in other states and territories were less impacted, with numbers in Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Northern Territory almost returning to pre-pandemic levels,” he said.

Regional, State & National news

Support for businesses battling to recover THE region’s peak business organisation, Business NSW (Western NSW), believes businesses impacted by the current and ongoing weather events across Western NSW and the recent gas outages in Bathurst, Oberon and Lithgow will need to be able to access the full range of fi nancial support to reopen and recover.

“We thank all levels of Gov-

ernment and all the volunteers for their dedication and hard work so far to help our community through these current and unfolding natural disasters, said Vicki Seccombe, Regional Director – Western NSW, Business NSW. “We understand that this is a developing situation, but we need both levels of government to be working together to

ensure grants and other support measures are put in place as swiftly as possible,” said Ms Seccombe.

“Flood affected businesses in Western NSW will need access to grants such as the $50,000 small business grant that assists with the cleanup, stock losses and the reinstatement of a small business that were provided this year

to businesses along the NSW Coast and Sydney.

“Businesses that were inundated by flood waters in Forbes, Molong, Eugowra or anywhere in Western NSW are no different to flood affected businesses in Sydney or along the Coast and should receive the same support.

“Western NSW businesses have shown incredible resil-

ience to survive the past number of years, but these recent and evolving events could well mean they have little choice but to close for good.

“Business is not seeking a free handout, but through no fault of their own, they need support to reopen the doors and to keep the doors open,” Ms Seccombe said.

Flood damage turning up dangerous asbestos

The RSPCA has applauded new laws which will see those convicted of animal cruelty banned from pet ownership. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Cruelty convictions to see lifetime bans RECENT amendments to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (POCTAA) will prevent people convicted of serious cruelty offences from owning animals or working for a business that provides care to animals.

The new law, known as The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment (Prohibition for Convicted Persons) Bill 2022, has successfully passed the NSW Parliament and will take effect from March 2023.

“These amendments are a step in the right direction towards modernising state animal welfare legislation,” RSPCA NSW chief inspector Scott Meyers said of the new law.

Amendments to POCTAA through the Prohibition for Convicted Persons Bill 2022 include: Certain convicted persons will be prohibited from owning, breeding, or working for a business relating to animals; People who disobey these laws and are found in possession of an animal will not only face serious additional charges, but en-

forcement agencies like RSPCA NSW have the power to seize all animals found in the possession of the convicted person. Enforcement agencies also have the power to rehome these animals after five business days.

"RSPCA NSW is pleased to see progressive changes being made to POCTAA, which aligns with community expectations and further protects the welfare of animals,” Insp Meyers said.

“Pet ownership is a privilege and not a right and we will continue to carry out our mission of preventing animal cruelty across the state and advocating for all creatures great and small.”

For many years, RSPCA NSW has been working alongside animal welfare groups to strengthen animal cruelty laws in NSW and improve the welfare of animals in our state.

The mandatory disqualification orders imposed from this Bill are an indication of how seriously the NSW Parliament, RSPCA NSW, and members of the public will not tolerate animal cruelty, he added.

IT may be more than 20 years since it was fi nally banned, but recent flood and storm damage to many houses, farms and businesses in western NSW could turn up an old threat to our health – asbestos.

As the rains, storms, and floods gradually recede in the region, homeowners, and commercial and rural property owners are being warned to prepare for this hidden danger that lurks in one-in-three homes and shops and offices in rural NSW. With November being National Asbestos Awareness Month, now is the time to take exceeding care of any exposure to this dangerous fibre, Ambassador for the National Asbestos Awareness campaign Cherie Barber said.

“Every year, around 4000 Australians die from asbestos-related diseases (more than double the national road toll) because people don’t know how to manage asbestos safely, while others continue to ignore the warnings,” Ms Barber said.

“With experts predicting deaths from asbestos will continue to rise, it’s vital that homeowners start to respect the dangers of asbestos and learn what to look for and what to do to manage it safely.”

Asbestos was used in the manufacture of more than 3000 building and decorator products that can still be found in any brick, weatherboard, clad or fibro home built or renovated prior to 1990.

“When homes and other buildings containing asbestos are damaged or de-

stroyed during floods, wind and storms, asbestos-containing materials can become eroded, disturbed, broken or friable, causing a health risk to homeowners, property owners, property managers and the community if these materials aren’t managed correctly and disposed of safely,” Ms Barber said.

Asbestos was also commonly used in the construction of commercial and non-residential properties such as shops or public buildings prior to December 2003.

Ms Barber recommends property owners visit www.asbestosawareness. com.au to learn how to identify and manage asbestos safely before commencing a clean-up, to protect themselves, their families and communities.

“They should also contact their local Council or Emergency Services for important information about asbestos, and if asbestos needs to be removed, please only use professional licensed asbestos removalists because it’s not worth the risk,” she said.

In rural and regional areas, homes, fences, storage sheds, chook sheds, out houses and stock sheds may have been constructed from asbestos-containing materials.

“It was used everywhere and may be in many forms including flat or corrugated sheets (fibro) used for walls, ceilings, roofi ng or in products such as pipes, electrical conduit, eaves, wall and floor tiles and other structures including garages and garden sheds,” she added.

Bret Baker, President of the Asbestos & Hazmat Removal Contractors Association of NSW (AHRCA) and a Civil and Environmental Engineer with more than 25 years experienced in asbestos removal and demolition, warned property owners of the serious hazards after floodwaters subside including asbestos.

“It’s important that property owners and volunteers do not walk on corrugated asbestos roofs or enter any buildings until authorised to do so by Council or Emergency Services,” Mr Baker said.

“While these materials are not considered dangerous if undisturbed and in a stable, sealed condition, if they do get disturbed during maintenance, renovation or demolition and invisible asbestos fibres are released into the air and can be inhaled, this can lead to asbestos-related diseases including malignant mesothelioma. There is no cure for this preventable cancer with the average survival time after diagnosis just 10-12 months.”

Ms Barber personally knows the impact that the widely-used 20th century building material can have on an individual’s health.

“As a professional renovator and someone who lost their grandfather to an asbestos-related disease, I know personally the importance of respecting the ever-present danger of asbestos. I urge all homeowners and renovators to protect themselves, their families and neighbours by managing asbestos safely because it’s not worth the risk,” she concluded.

Farmer survey reveals extent of flood impact

Not just villages and towns... More than two-thirds of respondents to the NSW Farmers Flood Impacts survey were experiencing flooding for their second year in a row. PHOTO: SUPPLIED WHILE many villages and towns have been inundated by the recent floods, the impact has also been substantial among our farming communities.

A survey of the state’s flood-affected farmers has found significant losses across many regions, leading to massive costs as most of the damage is uninsurable.

More than two-thirds of respondents to the NSW Farmers Flood Impacts survey were experiencing flooding for their second year in a row, with more than three-quarters saying they had planted less than half of their usual winter crop this season in response to the wet weather.

NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin said the fi nancial impact was set to be enormous, with harvesting efforts delayed by several weeks as floodwater continued to wreak havoc on roads and paddocks.

“Farmers are saying they’re a bit over it, frankly, and it’s not hard to see why,”

Mr Martin said.

“We know these farms are homes, not just workplaces, and having to deal with the uncertainty, stress and anxiety of living through this ongoing cycle of natural disasters is challenging.

“When you consider farming has been a pretty expensive operation over the past year, and now so much of the food and fibre we have grown has been destroyed or damaged, it’s really tough from both a personal and a business standpoint.”

More than half of the state’s local government areas were subject to natural disaster declarations last week, following another weekend of intense rain and flooding, and most roads were either heavily potholed or closed in parts, including the Newell Highway. This was having a major impact not only on the movement of trucks and machinery, but also people trying to get about their communities.

Mr Martin said many respondents re-

ported on-farm roads, fences, bridges and culverts would also need to be replaced, with many estimating initial repair bills upwards of $100,000.

“Unfortunately this disaster is not over yet, but we know this year will go down in history as one of the worst widespread flooding events we’ve seen,” Mr Martin said.

“A lot of this flood damage cannot be insured against, and we’ll be feeling the impact well into next year in terms of missing the summer sowing window because the ground is still so wet.

“With so many people reporting increased stress and mental health impacts, I’d urge everyone to keep in touch with neighbours. Wellbeing and health support is available, so don’t struggle through this on your own.”

Affected farmers should report any flood damage to their properties to NSW DPI to help get support moving as quickly as possible.

Stamp duty deferral could boost home ownership THE economic reform of allowing fi rst home owners to pay off stamp duty on a new home annually is now law.

Thousands of fi rst home buyers should, from January, fi nd it easier to unlock home ownership sooner, the state government says, following the recent passage of its legislation in Parliament.

First home buyers will be given the choice between paying a smaller annual property fee or a large upfront stamp duty on their fi rst property.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the First Home Buyer Choice would be a

game-changer for fi rst home buyers, helping families get the keys to their fi rst home sooner.

“The great Australian dream of home ownership just got much easier for a generation of young families,” Mr Perrottet said.

“For the fi rst time we will provide fi rst home buyers with a choice, helping thousands of people to shave around two years off the time needed to save for a deposit.

“People can now save huge sums of money on the biggest purchase of their life.”

Treasurer Matt Kean said

the new law would help more young people enjoy the fi nancial security that comes with home ownership.

“First Home Buyer Choice will significantly reduce upfront costs, reduce the time needed to save for a deposit and will see the majority of eligible fi rst home buyers paying less tax overall,” Mr Kean said.

“We are giving people the opportunity to decide for themselves what best suits their fi nancial situation.

Those buying a home to live in for life can still choose stamp duty, but for many,

paying an annual tax for the limited time they actually live in the property will make more sense.”

Eligible fi rst home buyers were able to access the scheme from Saturday, November 12. These buyers will be required to pay stamp duty on purchases made until January 15, 2023, but then will be able to apply for a refund of their stamp duty if they choose to opt into the annual fee.

From January 16, purchasers can opt in to the annual fee directly and will not be required to pay stamp duty.

Vietnam farm workers to help ease labour shortages LOCAL farmers will be able to hire workers from Vietnam to help fi ll the significant labour shortage facing the Parkes electorate following an agreement with the Federal Government.

Labor has confi rmed it will honour the Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam, which was established before the Federal election as part of the former Coalition Government’s Agriculture Visa.

During Senate Estimates, the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Legislation Committee heard the visa would be given another name but, importantly, it was being honoured.

Local Federal member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, said this is a win for the electorate and the nation.

“The workforce shortage is one of the biggest issues currently facing the Parkes electorate, with farmers in particular struggling to fi nd the workers needed to harvest their crops,” Mr Coulton said.

“Allowing workers from Vietnam to come to Australia on what was previously known as the ‘Ag Visa’ will help fi ll some of those critical jobs, which in turn will help to boost our food supply and provide relief to shoppers at the supermarket."

The Ag Visa was designed to supplement the Pacific Australia La- Mark Coulton bour Mobility (PALM) Scheme for workers from southeast Asia. Since June, the PALM Scheme has brought in just 10,800 workers, Mr Coulton said.

He urged the Labor Government to reinstate the Ag Visa, to help ease the cost-of-living crisis, rather than rely on the PALM Scheme, which provides visas for workers from just nine Pacific islands and Timor-Leste.

“Scrapping the Ag Visa was a terrible move by Labor and is costing Australians more at the checkout when they pay for their groceries,” Mr Coulton said.

“When the supply of food goes down, the cost goes up.

“Australia needs 172,000 workers to get product from the paddock to the plate right now and the PALM Scheme will not be able to bring them in.

“Our farmers need certainty around their workforce.

We need to do all we can to relieve the workforce shortages so farmers can have the confidence to plant full crops for future seasons.

“I urge Labor to help our farmers and our families and fi nd practical solutions. The PALM Scheme will only continue to increase food prices because farmers can’t get the workers they desperately need.”

Narromine to shine in reality TV show next year

By SHARON BONTHUYS

These gliders will feature in an episode of the reality TV show that filmed in Narromine last week. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

A TELEVISION crew visited Narromine last week to fi lm content for the next series of a popular reality TV program.

It was all hush-hush and we weren’t allowed to take photos of those involved who took to the skies with the Narromine Gliding Club, or of their post-glide visit to the Narromine Aviation Museum on November 16.

But we did get some nice photos of the real stars of the day – the gliders!

Production staff told the Narromine Star that the next series of this much watched program will be broadcast in March 2023.

Plant and garage sale on this weekend

By SHARON BONTHUYS DO you know your Bearded Iris from your Bilgergia? Or your Yucca from your Hoya? What about a Fishbone Fern?

All these and more will be available at the St Andrews Uniting Church combined plant and garage sale this weekend.

An interesting fact about the plants on offer is that they were all grown locally, said plant manager Geoff Smith.

“Yes, not a single one comes from Dubbo or somewhere else,” Geoff told the Narromine Star.

“They have all been grown here in Narromine.”

Plants are just one of the things available at the garage sale which runs across the morning in the grounds of the church.

Get in quick to grab a bargain.

Prices will be low so you can buy more, Geoff said.

For further details, see Classifieds.

Classroom News Trangie Central School news Contributed by TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL

STAGE 6 is off to a flying start! It has been fantastic to see and feel the renewed energy in the school as our senior students begin their new Year 11 courses.

Students have received their assessment booklets for the coming year, and are encouraged to use them to carefully plan their time.

Ongoing revision, task preparation, and studying for exams are all essential aspects of achieving academic success, and a feeling of mastery over the skills and content being taught.

Our secondary students were recently able to enjoy a rewards day in Dubbo where they had the opportunity to choose between playing ten pin bowls or watch a movie at the cinema.

Ultimately Mr McDonald was victorious in the bowling competition... all those years of experience came in handy.

The rest of us enjoyed lots

of sugar and popcorn while watching Wakanda Forever, and a mad run for the bus at the end of the day! Thanks to Mr Jack James for providing the transport on the day and to the school for covering the cost of these activities for the students. We all had a great day.

Promoting positive mental health and wellbeing is something we pride ourselves on at Trangie Central School, we were lucky enough to have Tommy Herschell from Find Ya Feet back in town recently to deliver an empowering and engaging workshop to our students in Years 10-12.

Tommy has been to TCS (and our community) a number of times over the last several years. He is a familiar and popular face amongst students, staff and community members.

On Friday, November 11, primary students took the time to remember those brave men and women who fought in World War I. Our Remembrance Day ceremony was led

by the Year Six students with Tawhiao delivering the ‘Welcome to Country’, Reggie and Amelia speaking about the significance of Remembrance Day and Narelle reciting the ‘Ode of Remembrance’.

The Primary children all observed a minutes silence and took the time to remember those who have died in the Wars and reflect on the atrocity of war. Some classes even made poppies to lay out during our ceremony.

The Year Six students all enjoyed a lovely lunch together to celebrate the culmination of their primary schooling as they prepare to transition into their secondary education. The children had a delicious lunch at Café 2823 then enjoyed a slice of sponge cake and listened to some speeches from their teachers and talked about their favourite Year Six memories.

Presentation Day recognised many achievers from the school community. Congratulations to everyone.

A luncheon was held for Year 6.

NHS students enjoy NAIDOC

By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST Friday, Narromine High School (NHS) students spent the day celebrating NAIDOC. The day kicked off with a whole-ofschool community walk around the streets of Narromine near the school.

Holding banners and placards bearing the NAIDOC Week theme “Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!”, the large group marched in a circuit from the school, down Burroway Street, past the police station, and back to the school.

They happened to pass the Narromine Star office as we were leaving to cover Trangie’s NAIDOC events, so we were able to get these pictures.

Students participated in sand art, followed by morning tea with community members and staff. Following assembly, they participated in four activity rotations and a barbecue lunch.

“The NHS Aboriginal Education Team would like to acknowledge and thank all of the Elders, volunteers, community members and services who have both assisted and participated in the NHS 2022 NAIDOC,” the school posted on social media.

Paityn Smith has won a wonderful scholarship. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

A lucky guess has helped Trangie Central School student Paityn Smith, 11, win a scholarship at the Stand Tall Dubbo education event earlier this month.

Transitioning to year seven, Paityn attended the event with her school and entered a lolly guessing competition, never expecting to win. She guessed there were 493 lollies in the container and was just two off the actual number.

Her prize is a tutoring scholarship from event sponsor Full Spectrum Education, valued at $8,000.

Paityn was very surprised to learn she had won and is looking forward to taking advantage of the scholarship.

“It feels really good to win it,” Paityn told the Narromine Star when we caught up with her and proud mum Jody Towney last week.

“It was a very lucky guess.”

Jody is thrilled for her daughter and the family looks forward to learning more about the scholarship in the coming weeks.

Congratulations, Paityn!

Sport Big wins this week for Harmer and Ferrari A TOP field of 25 players faced the starters on a beautiful Saturday morning for Gerries weekly golf competition.

Ten ladies hit-off on the front nine with competition very keen. Tied on 23 points at the fi nish, were Michelle Ashdown and Anne Harmer and, once again, a count-back was needed to decide the winner with Anne taking home the major prize.

Keep trying Michelle! Your turn will come.

There was no winner of the ladies Nearest The Pin (NTP) but there was a “battle royale” on for the NAGA prize with three girls – Jeanette O’Brien, Dale Harding, and Carole McDonald – all tied on 16 points. A count-back was again used with Jeanette taking home the coveted prize.

Over on the back nine, some 15 gents battled it out in the men’s event. Vince Ferrari, who has been knocking on the door in recent weeks, fi nally got a win with 26 points.

Close behind was Mal McIntyre on 25 points with Mal also collecting the NTP win but, unfortunately for you Mal, there was only one golf ball in the jackpot kitty.

Once again, the mens NAGA prize was closely contested with Chris Harding and Ron Jackson tied on 18 points each. Chris eventually won on countback to collect the prize.

All in all, it was a great morning’s golf with player numbers fi nally getting back to near normal.

This week, six players also lined up for the Pool competition. In the preliminary match, Chris Peter and Greg Kearines lined-up against Ron Jackson and Terry Willis.

The latter pair were only two balls behind when “Keiro” went in off the black! This saw Willis and “Jacko” advance to the fi nal where they met Chris Harding and Bob Fletcher.

This was a tough game which eventually saw “Fletch” land a typically-brilliant shot to “pot” the black for a great win making Chris and Bob the Pool champs for this week.

Next Saturday, the girls will hit of the back nine, and the boys off the front, at the usual time of 9.30am.

See you all out on the tee!

Peter Hutchinson scored a hole-inone on the 17th at Royal Narromine.

Terry Willis and Ron Jackson lost the pool comp but are still smiling.

GOLF CLUB NOTES

Weather clears and playing numbers rise LAST weekend, the wet weather cleared and Golf Club members and guests took advantage by taking to the “Royal” Narromine course for a number of top-shelf competitions.

It all started on Saturday morning with the “Gerries” and 25 starters, followed by Saturday afternoon with 16 players. Sunday also had a good roll-up for the Junior Clinic, with another 26 players taking-part in the Sunday afternoon event.

Highlight of the weekend, however, was Peter Hutchinson’s hole-in-one on the 17th. This feat is the dream of every golfer, but is something that is not achieved by many. Peter told me later, that he had been trying to land one from the tee for 46 long years! Well, it fi nally happened last weekend – congratulations and well done, “Hutcho”!

Results of the weekend events were as follows: Saturday – 16 players with the 18-hole Stroke Winner, Glen Smythe on 65; with second place to Steve Gillette on a score of 66.

Nearest the Pin (NTP) and third was Alex Sambrook with the famous holein-one on the 17th by Peter Hutchinson.

The Longest Drive on the 11th was Mitch Smith with the “Jackpot Hole” on the 18th not won.

Sunday – the 18-hole Two-person Ambrose saw fi rst place to Tony Mann and Mitchell Sadgrove (of Warren) with a

score of 61 and second-place to Marshall Williams (also of Warren) and Duanne Mann on 62. The NTP on holes nine and ten were not won with the Longest Drive on the First won by Craig Duff.

Good to see some Warren players having a game here as their own course has suffered dearly with the floods which has kept the facility out-of-action for a long time.

Next weekend, the program of events starts on Saturday with a two- person Multiplier and, on Sunday, a Four-BBB with both events for Club trophies.

BUSINESS HOUSE.This competition continues to be played, luckily missing the storms and attracting good fields. On Wednesday, there were 61 players with the winning team being “Deep Divots”.

Top individual players on the day were Anne Harmer, Toby Everett, Wendy Jeffery, Tony Harding, and Greg Walsh. NTP winners were Mal McIntyre on the fi rst and third holes and Tony Harding on the 10th and 17th holes. Straight Drive winners were Chris Holder on the fi rst and Daniel Coen on the 11th.

JUNIOR CLINIC is on again this week at 9.30 on Sunday morning.

VETERANS GOLF: AGM of the WDVGA (Western Districts Veteran Golf Association) will also be held at Narromine Clubhouse on Sunday morning at 11.00.

That’s it for another week – see you all at the 19th!

Anne Harmer won the ladies golf at the Gerries last weekend.

BOWLS COLUMN ANOTHER week of fi ne weather (yoo-hoo!), and so we got some good games in, up at the “Bowly”.

Social Bowls was the flavour of the week, with good fields on both the Thursday and the Sunday. On the Thursday, Des Lincoln, Peter Cross, and Bill Wilie, were the best-performed team on the day with Bruce Powyer, Peter Pearce, and Greg Wright, having to settle for the runners-up cheque.

Sunday saw Bill Wilkie to the fore again, this time teaming-up with Darryl Faro and Bob Christoff to get the box of chocolates.

The “Consistence” singles tournament will commence this Saturday now that sufficient numbers have plonked their names down on the nomination sheet.

Match One sees Phil Harding play Steve Buttsworth with Match Two featuring Danny Carnevale up against Adam Jermyn.

Match Three sees Des Lincoln and Kane Adams the antagonists, whilst the last match will witness

Ray Anthony and Kerry Martin battling it out for a place in the semi-fi nals. All games kick-off at 1.30pm, Saturday and, no doubt, the “window tappers” will be in place early!

Our Robert Handsaker Ford Triples Tournament is only a few weekends away on December 3–4 with just half-a-dozen or so spots left for those interested in competing in this event. With some $4000 in prize-money up for grabs, why wouldn’t you grab a team and have a go?

Our Sunday morning troops are off to Trangie this Sunday, November 27 with a nomination sheet (to assist with catering) now placed on the board. To help with transport and organisation, please plonk your name down sooner, rather than later.

Our Annual Christmas Raffle will also be held mid-December, with a total of 25 hams up for grabs.

Well, that’s it for me for another week, hope to catch-up with you all up at the “Bowly”!

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES WILL Stanley is well on the way to fulfi lling his potential as a prominent rider in the professional ranks following a winning double on Saturday, November 19 at Mudgee.

Stanley had previously ridden 18 winners on the picnic circuit however, In The Road and Broo Bo-ss were his fi rst winners since becoming apprenticed as a professional with Orange trainer, Alison Smith.

From a well-known racing family which includes his sis-

Stanley has good outing at Mudgee ter, apprentice jockey, Ashleigh Stanley; and father, Wellington trainer, Peter W Stanley; 19-year-old Will certainly earned the respect of senior riders on the picnic circuit.

Leading rider, Ricky Blewitt from Narromine predicted two-years’ ago, that Stanley would quickly become very successful as an apprentice jockey, if he switched to the professional ranks.

His all-important fi rst win came aboard the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo-trained In The Road in the 1100-metres Gooree Park Wines Class one Handicap.

Leading throughout, In The Road ($1.60 favo-urite) romped home four lengths ahead of

Sin City Belle (Hollie Hull, $2.50) and Jesta Diva (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2).

Another very good ride by Stanley saw Broo Bo-ss ($2.50), at one point in last position, gaining a rails run to score by over a length from Ollivander (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.60) and Aphrodotti (Michael Heagney, $2.50). Trained at Forbes by Peter Kirby, Broo Boss is the winner of eight races and has won three of his past four starts at Mudgee.

While a lot of attention was focused on Will Stanley, another jockey having a big day was Jake Pracey-Holmes, with a winning treble on Zoisite, The Big Seal, and Serene Shadow.

Placed five times but yet to win after 21 starts, Zoisite

($1.70 favourite) achieved the breakthrough when establishing a big mid-race lead and cruising home by almost seven lengths from Warrior’s Spirit (James Rogers, $2.80) and She’s Just A Dream (Tony Cavallo, $9) in the 1100-metres Mudgee Lions Club Maiden Plate.

Pracey-Holmes then led all the way on the Clint Lundholm-trained The Big Seal ($1.40 favourite) to win the 1100-metres Class one Handicap from Gunnerside (Ken Dunbar, $2) and Leviticus (Will Stanley, $11) in the Class one Handicap.

Mudgee trainer, Mark Milton, who had earlier won with Zoisite, also completed a double when Serene Shadow (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $3.50) got in

front by a slender margin halfway down the straight in the 1100-metres XXXX Benchmark 50 Handicap, lasting to win by a half-head from Blue Collar Boy (Michael Heagney, $3) on the rails and Northern Conqueror (Tony Cavallo, $2 favourite) a half-head away third on the outside.

As the $11 outsider in the 1400-metres MRC Members Maiden Plate, the Mike Petrovic, Queanbeyan-trained Lepo (Michael Heagney) from last place steamed down the outside for a four-and-a-half lengths win over Principal Belle (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4) and Fightingforjustice (Ken Dunbar, $2.90).

Statewide road emergency declaration: fight for funding begins

By SHARON BONTHUYS ON November 21, Cr Craig Davies presented an item of business without notice at an extraordinary meeting of the Narromine Shire Council, supporting Local Government NSW’s (LGNSW) recent declaration of a Statewide [Road] Emergency and pleading for immediate action by the Prime Minister and NSW Premier to address the situation.

The Narromine Star reported on the LGNSW declaration earlier this month, which was made following the National Local Roads and Transport Congress in Hobart.

The council will join the

Country Mayors Association of NSW (CMA) and LGNSW in lobbying the NSW Premier for a significant increase to state country road and bridge funding, and the Prime Minister for a boost to federal road block grant funding and federal funding to hire skilled workers and purchase plant and equipment to expedite rural road repairs.

Cr Davies called on the Narromine Shire Council to endorse the LGNSW statewide road emergency declaration, which it unanimously did. He will now write to the Prime Minister and NSW Premier seeking action.

An excerpt from Cr Davies’ address to council “We are all well aware the Narromine Shire has been hit by a seemingly relentless wave of flood events in the past 12 months. And we are not alone.

A total of 126 of NSW’s’ 128 local government areas have had natural disaster declarations within the last 12 months, according to the President of Local Government NSW, Darriea Turley.

“On November 3, 2022, LGNSW declared a Statewide Roads Emergency. The declaration – and urgent call for the

Trivia Night supports NPS

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE regular trivia nights at the Narromine Bowls Club are proving popular, providing valuable support for local community groups.

Trivia returned to the club in August after a sustained hiatus due to the pandemic.

This week’s trivia night on November 22 raised funds for the Narromine Public School.

NSW and Federal governments to increase their existing road funding commitments in the wake of the floods – comes on the back of an estimated $2.5 billion in road damages and a collapse of the local and regional road network.

“The local and regional road network is critically-enabling infrastructure. It is absolutely vital to our primary producers, and the key to keeping affordable food on the table across New South Wales and beyond.

“Our road network, and the road network of shires across the state, have disastrous damage. We are facing a task that is beyond the reasonable scope of any local government author-

ity. We face an unprecedented disaster that requires an unprecedented response.

“We need help. Our community needs help. Other regional and rural communities across the state and beyond need help.

We desperately need our leaders to lead.

“We need to support our peak bodies in their declaration of Statewide Road Emergency.

“This is an emergency, and it is time to seek help, and by supporting this Mayoral Minute you are endorsing that I write to the Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese and the Premier of New South Wales Dominic Perrottet pleading for immediate action.”

Yabbies host swimming carnival

PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

By GINNI BROWN, MACQUARIE YABBIES SWIMMING CLUB ON Sunday. November 20, swimmers from all over the western area converged on the Narromine Aquatic Centre for the fi fth annual Macquarie Yabbies Swimming Carnival.

Sponsored by the Narromine USMC and Qube Agri, the event fielded 214 individual swimmers, with an amazing

49 Yabbies representing the club.

Club President, Krista Morrissey, was thrilled with the turnout.

“We have had a cold start to the season, as well as many swimmers impacted by floodwater and unable to access training or events” she said.

“We are thankful to every swimmer and their families who made the effort to attend.

Big thanks also to the Yabbies

committee who made the day happen.”

With the Junior Jets running the BBQ and a large contingent of Yabbies families doing the timekeeping, officiating, setting up and packing down, it was a real community event.

There was also a raffle with all hundreds of dollars in prizes donated by local businesses, and plans for the proceeds being donated to the Molong and

Forbes swimming clubs, who have both had their pools inundated by floodwater in the last few weeks.

Many records tumbled on the day in a very competitive field, but even the swimmers who didn’t place did not seem at all concerned.

“I did an 8 second PB from last year in my freestyle,and I even did the 50m fly which I have never ever done before. It was so much fun!” said

Lucy Brown, 8.

The Club would like to thank everyone who sponsored or helped out on the day, and Narromine Shire Council for their recent grant towards purchasing marshalling chairs for the pool.

If you have any interest in being part of the club please reach out to the club on social media.
