Local Women of the Year: Lynda Edwards and Sally Everett Paying the bills: Lynda’s vital financial work wins Women’s awards FOR disadvantaged peoples, fi nancial literacy is a key tool to improving their lives, something that Narromine’s Lynda Edwards has dedicated decades to achieving. Following her years of tireless dedication and work in this essential field among the local Indigenous community, Lynda has been named the 2023 NSW Premier’s Woman of the Year – also taking out the NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year – at the Awards ceremony held in Sydney last week. The NSW Women of the Year Awards are a highlight of NSW Women’s Week with 34 women and girls recognised this year as fi nalists, along with 84 Local Women of the Year who were also celebrated. In receiving the awards, Lynda said she that she is just one person among a very supportive and proud community. “I am surrounded by strong women,” she said after receiving the awards.

‘We need to name and shame’: locals angered by mass rubbish dumps By BROOKE CHANDLER LARGE piles of torn, broken, and mouldy household items dumped behind the Narromine Men’s Shed have left locals gobsmacked at the laziness of others. Former Men’s Shed member, Ivan Hales, took his frustrations to social media, calling out at the alleged the person or persons. “You should be ashamed of yourself”, Mr Hales wrote. Speaking to the Narromine Star, Mr Hales confi rmed this is not the fi rst-time decomposing goods have been piled up at the laneway site. “They aren’t donations. It’s just a festering mess and a way of escaping the fee of dropping items at the local tip”, Mr Hales explained. The sizeable amount of furniture, kitchen utensils and fitness equipment has posed a real issue for Men’s Shed volunteers, who without the resources of Narromine Shire Council, are unable to conduct a removal. “How are we supposed to move al these large items to the tip when we only have a small number of volunteers and are open a few times a week”, exclaimed Narromine Men’s Shed Treasurer Ken McAnally. The most recent dumping was noticed by Men’s Shed members during the fi rst

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, March 16, 2023
Fuel to flow in Trangie By BROOKE CHANDLER FOR the past three months, Trangie residents have been left high and dry following the closure of its only service station. Anyone needing to ‘fuel up’ has been required to travel at least twenty minutes to Narromine, including passer-by’s – a key driver for the town’s local economy. But according to Narromine Shire Council Mayor, Craig Davies, relief is on the way after Transport for NSW approved the construction of a temporary service station last week. “Council has had the Certificate of Construction ready to go for the past three weeks”, Cr Davies told the Narromine Star. “It’s just been a waiting game and this news is certainly welcomed news.” A smaller version of the existing Ampol facility is set to be established on the northern side of the Narromine Street site. Vehicles will be given direct access through the previous truck parking area. The temporary facility will offer petrol, diesel, and some refreshments, and could be made available to the community within the next week.
Residents were told the town’s only service station would be permanently shutting its doors on December 4. Prior to this, the site – which has been described as an ‘eyesore’ – was lodged for demolition in 2018. Inland Petroleum announced it was taking over the site to avoid the absence of full in Trangie and instead, build a new station. However, negotiations between Transport for NSW, their contractor UGL Regional Linx, who own the land, and the incoming proprietor have been delayed. When asked as to why these delays have occurred, Cr Davies said, “There have been too many people involved. “This situation honestly highlights the breakdown in systems as well as that ‘regional/ city’ divide’ we have been working so hard to eliminate”, continued Cr Davies. Subsequent developments, including DA’s for the removal of the former site and construction of the new facility, are yet to be consolidated. Two separate and complete traffic plans are required for each phase occur. Cr Davies concluded, “It a tricky logistic but it’s only way forward for the town.”

Local Women of the Year: Lynda Edwards and Sally Everett

Helping disadvantaged Indigenous communities learn financial literacy has led to Narromine’s Lynda Edwards (right) being named the 2023 NSW Premier’s Woman of the Year and NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.
From page 1
“THIS isn’t just about me, it’s a journey of everyone that works in the fi nancial literacy space for First Nations people,” she added. With 17 years supporting Indigenous women in their journey to fi nancial independence and security, she previously worked as a liaison officer with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and with NSW Police, witnessing the way in which many fi nancial institutions take advantage of those with poor understanding of economics and fi nances. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders congratulated Ms Edwards on the prestigious accomplishment. “Lynda is proud Wangkumara and Barkandji woman who has been a dedicated voice and volunteer for the Narromine community,” Mr Saunders said. “She has also been a passionate advocate for the fi nancial rights, fairness and inclusion of First Nations people across NSW and Australia.” State Minister for Women
Bronnie Taylor also congratulated Lynda on her achievements and acknowledged that her career was driven by a genuine sense of purpose and desire to achieve better outcomes for First Nations people. “This prestigious award celebrates nobility of character, commitment to change and the strength to succeed, all attributes held by Ms Edwards,” Mrs Taylor said.
Sally is ‘Woman of the Year’: dedicated volunteer receives top accolade By BROOKE CHANDLER A LOCAL skin cancer advocate has been recognised as the Dubbo Electorate’s International Woman of the Year. Sally Everett was “extremely overwhelmed” as she accepted the award from Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders and Regional Health Minister Bronnie
Taylor last Wednesday. The forty-five-year-old is a familiar face in the Narromine community, supporting the local Jets Rugby Club and MS Support Group in addition to her work with the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. “While I do lead a busy life”, Mrs Everett told the Narromine Star, “I don’t do it alone. I have a wonderful support system.” In November 2021, Sally and her family were shaken by the sudden passing of her father, Lionel, to Melanoma. “My Dad was one of the most sun safe people I knew. I can remember as a child we would have arguments because he’d be telling me to wear a hat and I said I wasn’t going to because it wasn’t cool. It’s crazy how things come full circle”, Mrs Everett said. After witnessing the “quick, painful and horrific” suffering of her father, Mrs Everett was determined to honour his memory while helping others. By January 2022, ‘Doing It For Lionel’ fundraiser page
Shakespeare FUNERALS DUBBO
was launched online, with the site raising over three thousand dollars within the fi rst two months – all of which were directed back into the research, advocacy, education and support offered by the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. “Since we started, there’s been a lot of people saying they’ve booked in a skin check.” Soon after the success of the Mission Melanoma campaign, the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation approached Sally to join their Board of Directors – the only member west of the Blue Mountains. Consistent and lower skin pricing have become two key areas of Mrs Everett’s regional health crusade. “Research shows a lot of people aren’t getting skin checks because they can’t afford them”, she explained. “We really want to get them bulk billed. “There is no consistent pricing between different doctors and dermatologists. And they
aren’t very accessible in our area as well, with very limited resources.” Currently, the award recipient is liaising with politicians to establish a mobile skin check bus. “A few weeks, the Member for Parkes Mark Coulton offered his support to the idea in Parliament. He has been a Melanoma sufferer in the past too.” Late last year, the Western Local Health District was flagged as one of the top five regions for melanoma incidences. “While Mission Melanoma is across March, we don’t see it as just one month. It’s something we’ll do ongoing.” When asked of her reaction to her electoral recognition Sally said, “There are so many incredible people in our community doing incredible things... It’s just one of those communities where everybody knows everybody. You certainly get back what you give in... So, I feel very honoured.”

Highway in the sky: $12 million promise to connect west by air
Up to $12 million has been promised to upgrade airstrips and airports – including at Narromine and Gilgandra – across the region. Bourke mayor Barry Hollman is pictured (centre) at the announcement at his town’s airport.
Bourke mayor Barry Hollman (left) said at a recent funding announcement held at his town’s airport that it is essential that western NSW communities have safe and secure airports that they can rely on. PHOTO: SUPPLIED AIR travel being the fastest, most convenient and safest means of transport is something people in in rural, remote and distant parts of NSW particularly appreciate. Now, the Coalition government is promising to invest up to $12 million to upgrade airstrips and airports – including at Narromine and Gilgandra – across the region. Bourke mayor Barry Hollman said at the announcement held at his town’s airport that it is essential that western NSW communities have safe and secure airports that they
can rely on. “Regional airports are vital for locals needing to access emergency specialist care and in times of natural disaster. This funding would make sure our airstrips and airport are fit-for-purpose, now and into the future,” Cr Hollman said. “These services have helped better connect the North West with Dubbo and Sydney, allowing thousands of people to swap hours behind the wheel for a short hop on a plane. It’s not only making it easier for locals to get to Dubbo and Sydney but making it easier for
tourists from all over NSW to explore this region.” Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the State’s remote air strips provide a lifeline to health, emergency services, and other key industries that was critical to keeping communities connected and local economies growing. “These might not be the biggest airports in Australia, but they play a big role in connecting communities across western NSW to services they need,” Mr Toole said. Mr Toole said that, under
the proposed program, the Department of Regional NSW would work with councils across 20 Local Government Areas to do an audit of the condition and certification of their airstrips and airports and understand current and future usage plans. Eligible works would include grading of unsealed airstrips, upgrades to airstrip length and width, animal exclusion and safety fencing, lighting improvements, fuel service and terminal upgrades, and the addition of new windsocks and markers.
LGAs in the program will include Balranald, Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Carrathool, Central Darling, Cobar, Coonamble, Edward River, Gilgandra, Hay, Lachlan, Murray River, Narromine, Walgett, Warren, Warrumbungle, Wentworth and the Unincorporated Far West.
An additional $4 million would also be allocated to support the costs of regular air services to Bourke, Cobar, Walgett and Lightning Ridge for a further two years.

NARROMINE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY REPORT
Narromine Show and Shine
Trivia Night coming up
A COUPLE of fundraising events are fast coming-up for Narromine Hospital Auxiliary. Firstly, it’s the group’s turn to host the Trivia Night at the Bowling Club this month, with everyone invited to don their thinking caps and come-along for a bit of a cognitive shake-up! This fun event will be followed by the Street Stall and Mothers’ Day Raffle in early May. One of our fundraising drives, is for the Hospital’s desperate need of a new catafalque trolley; (one thing that is guaranteed to, sadly, get a lot of use) with the cost in excess of $20,000! We’re therefore very thankful to the management at our local Coles store, who have kindly nominated the Auxiliary to be the recipients of the spare-coin drops at the checkouts. Very sad also to hear of Shirley Allen’s passing; she served on Auxiliary committees in a number of significant roles over the years and was VERY instrumental in signing-up new members, past and present! A reminder to the community, that we are privileged to now have two doctors at the hospital working, between them, seven days a week from 8.30–4.30pm. After hours care continues in the form of a “virtual doctor”. Remember, too, that, when you present to the hospital as an outpatient, you are triaged/assessed to determine your level of medical need; wait times are based on this assessment as well as the number of other outpatients there.

Remembering the work of long-time Auxiliary stalwart, Shirley Allen (front and centre), who recently passed away, with an important new piece of equipment acquired by the Auxiliary three years ago. Also pictured are Hospital Staff and Auxiliary President, Daphne Johnson.
NARROMINE will be the place to hear the engines roar this Sunday, when the Black Dog Motorcycle charity one-day ride and the Narromine Show and Shine group both converge on the town. Lots of cars, trucks and bikes will be on show - over 300 bikes are taking part in this year’s rider event. Food stalls and children’s activities and a monster fuel vouchers.
ADVERTORIAL
A RURAL MEDICAL EXPERIENCE A
my Malligan has recently started her journey to becoming a doctor, studying the University of Sydney’s Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree at the School of Rural Health in Dubbo. Amy will complete the entire four-year postgraduate degree in Dubbo with clinical training centered on the newly redeveloped Dubbo Hospital.
Amy studied an undergraduate degree in science in Sydney, unsure of what she wanted to do when she finished school. After living in Sydney for her degree she moved back to Bathurst for her final year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
It was a friend’s medical emergency and spending time in the hospital that inspired Amy to pursue a career in medicine. After graduating from her
undergraduate degree, she began working in Bathurst Hospital as a Patient Experience Officer while applying to study medicine at rural clinical schools, though her heart was set on getting into the University of Sydney program in Dubbo. “My brother had a great experience studying medicine at a rural clinical school and training in a rural hospital, so I knew that I wanted that experience too. When I found out I could study the entire Doctor of Medicine in Dubbo, I knew that was where I wanted to be. I love living in the country and I love that I’m still so close to my family in Bathurst,” she says. Amy is part of the second cohort of students now studying the University of Sydney’s entire fouryear Doctor of Medicine
program in Dubbo. Students in the Dubbo Stream study the same world-class medical education as their peers in Sydney, with the added benefits of living and studying in a regional location while gaining hands-on experience in rural and remote medical practice. The Dubbo Stream is only available to students eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place and pathways are available for First Nations students and those with rural backgrounds. The School of Rural Health in Dubbo features state-of-the-art medical education facilities including team-based learning studios, anatomy teaching lab, six-suite simulation training centre, tutorial rooms and lecture theatre.

Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
The importance of kidney checks
Pacific Australia Labour Mobility scheme I HAD the privilege of speaking in Parliament last week to support the motion of my friend and colleague, Hon Michael McCormack (MP), Member for Riverina, to continue the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme. The PALM scheme helps to fi ll labour gaps in rural and regional Australia and agriculture nationally. It also allows Pacific and Timor-Leste workers to take up seasonal jobs in Australia, develop their skills, and send income home. I have spoken to people who are benefitting from this scheme, and I believe it should be continued in its current form, as it has proven to be a positive connection between Australia and our neighbours in the Pacific. I do not support the proposal to use a ballot system to determine participation in this scheme as, it’s my view, that we need to be specific about the skillset and aptitude of the people that come in to work in our country. I also have reservations about shifting the scheme to include permanency, as the danger is that this then completely-removes good, hard-working people from communities in the Pacific. I would prefer to see them build their skills, support Australian agriculture, then go back
THERE were several key meetings held in Parliament House during what was a busy sitting week and, in between, I was able to fi nd time to visit the pop-up clinic hosted by Kidney Health Australia to participate in a kidney check. I spoke with Brad Rossiter, who has both kidney disease and diabetes, and learnt that one-in-three Australians have an increased risk of kidney disease, with the added danger that 90 per-cent of kidney function can be lost before symptoms become apparent. The Parkes electorate has a high number of people either with kidney disease or a vulnerability to it, such as from diabetes or high blood pressure, so I’m encouraging everyone to make it a priority to contact your health professional and get checked.
National Reconstruction Fund I HAVE serious concerns about the Labor Government’s $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund Bill, which is supposed to boost manufacturing in Australia, but actively undermines the resources it relies on. The Labor Government have caved to demands from the Greens to push the National Reconstruction Fund Bill through Parliament. This will pour $15 billion into manufacturing, but prohibits investment in coal, gas, and native forestry, effectively turning its back on these industries.
Have your kidneys checked! Brad Rossiter from Kidney Health Australia, with Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton. The Labor Government says it wants to build our industrial base and boost regional economic development, but without affordable and reliable energy, I fail to see how this can be achieved. Renewables technology is not yet able to supply our manufacturing industries with the power they need, so cutting some of our major energy suppliers out of this picture, seems coun-
ter-productive. Power prices are through the roof, and shutting-out the energy resources we currently have within reach, is not a good move. Another area of concern, is that smaller businesses will be less-able to access assistance under this Bill than they were under the Coalition’s Modern Manufacturing Strategy, which the Labor Government is seeking to replace. I
question how this money will be spent. What I don’t want to see, is the National Reconstruction Fund Bill enabling the Government to install a Labor-picked Board to spend up to $15 billion of taxpayer funds on Labor-picked priorities. Labor priorities rarely result in a good outcome, especially for people in the Parkes electorate!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Is something missing in Narromine? A professional networking group! THE women within our community are amazing, aren’t they! Day-in, day-out, through droughts, floods, mouse plagues, and COVID lockdowns, the women within this community, have continued to keep the cogs turning for their families, their households, their workplaces, and their businesses, all the while, often juggling home-schooling and their own commitments, carrying the mental load for those around them, and still fi nding the space to be a shoulder to lean-on for their friends and family.
Looking at it now, instead of retreating through the uncertainties and instabilities that the previous five years bought to our region, the women of Narromine, instead, jumped at opportunities to open or expand their own businesses, advance their careers, and maintain community connections. It really is of no surprise to me that, as of late, so many of the outstanding and resilient women within our community, have been formally recognised for their leadership, service, innovation, and dedication to helping others.

I honestly can’t think of any other town that has ever had so many women be nominated for, or receive, an award, scholarship, or opportunity, all within the one year! (and we are only three months in!) But reflecting on NSW Women’s Week, where Narromine local Lynda Edwards was named as the 2023 NSW Premier's Woman of the Year, and hearing from the local guest speaker Felicity Roberts and other panellists Leanne Heywood and Margie Fenwick at the Narromine CWA’s Celebration of Country Women event, there is something
that has left me surprised. I am surprised by the fact that we do not have some type of professional networking group in town where business-minded community members can more regularly come together to network, learn and support each other. Have you ever thought about this as well? Would a woman in business or a woman in leadership type-of-group, be of benefit to the Narromine community? Or if something was to form, should it be something more broad, like a chamber of commerce, or a business profes-
Russell Everingham funerals
sionals type group? At 27, I don’t have much experience in being involved with any of the above, I just believe that some formation of a group that facilitates professional support and encourages professional growth within our community, would be great.

Scholarships now open to attract and keep rural health workers COMMUNITIES across the central west and western NSW may benefit from a program to attract healthcare workers to rural and regional NSW and support those already providing excellent healthcare in the bush. The program offers nine different scholarships that will support more than 1100 health workers over the next four years in rural and regional NSW and are available across a range of health professions including allied health, nursing and midwifery, medical and Aboriginal allied health. Applications are now open for Nursing and Midwifery, Allied Health and Medical scholarships. A scholarship to support Aboriginal Allied Health workers in rural areas closed recently after receiving an overwhelming response. The program is also targeting new workers, with scholarships that can be used to cover the cost of travel and accommodation, childcare, technology and training fees – aimed at making it easier for students to choose to move away from the city. NSW Health is recruiting regionally-based scholarship advisors who will support applicants with career advice and help them choose the scholarships that meet their individual needs.

National bursary to encourage Man more junior doctors to “go bush” charged
THE Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) is putting its money where its mouth is, offering seven bursaries that aims to support medicos’ experiences of country practice and the great career path it can offer. The $1500 Bursary is being offered to seven junior doctors to undertake a clinical placement in a rural or remote community, attend a rural health conference, or attend a skills workshop in a rural town. “At a time when rural and remote communities across Australia are crying out for doctors, it is critical that we offer junior doctors a chance to fi nd out more about Rural Medicine and what it can offer them as a career path,” Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) President, Dr Megan Belot, said. “Rural doctors will tell you that we have the best job in the world – the challenge often is supporting more junior doctors to ‘go rural’ to fi nd this out
for themselves. In many cases, once a junior doctor has experienced rural practice, they need very little convincing that Rural Medicine is the career for them,” Dr Belot added. The Bursaries are being supported by medical professional insurer, MDA, with their National President, Dr Michael Gannon, saying that it is “incredibly important” for junior doctors to spend time undertaking a clinical placement or skills training in a rural location. “It is not uncommon for a junior doctor who has spent little, if any, time in rural Australia to come back from a rural placement wondering why they didn’t sample rural practice sooner – as they enjoyed it so much,” he said. “Some are instant converts to Rural Medicine and go on to have a rewarding career as a rural doctor,” he added. Applications will close on April 11, although they may close earlier if all Bursaries are fi lled prior to the closing date.

A LOCAL man has been charged with the murder after a death at Peak Hill over the weekend. Emergency services were called to a home on Boori Street, Peak Hill, north of Parkes, just after 11am on Sunday, after concerns were raised for the welfare of the occupant. Officers attached to Central West Police District attended, along with NSW Ambulance paramedics, and located the body of a man inside the property. He is yet to be formally identified. A crime scene has been established, which is being forensically examined. Detectives have established Strike Force Hattersley to investigate the circumstances surrounding the man’s death, which is being treated as suspicious. Following inquiries, a man – aged 38 – was arrested at Peak Hill Police Station later that afternoon where he was charged with murder. He was refused bail and appeared at Parkes Local Court earlier this week. Investigations under Strike Force Hattersley are ongoing.

From flooding rains to farming boom: $100 billion output in reach, NFF says WHILE our agricultural sector wasn’t looking all that flash late last year, our farmers overcame the flooding to break a new output record of nearly $100 billion per annum for the sector. The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) says the farm sector’s record $90 billion output announced recently puts the industry’s $100 billion target within reach and the result should sharpen the Government’s focus on leveraging growth opportunities in agriculture. “We’ve had an absolute belter,” said NFF vice-president David Jochinke, adding it wasn’t all smooth sailing. “It was a hard-won result this year. We had extensive crop losses due to flooding, damaged roads, and a wet harvest that stretched well into the New Year,” he said. “In the end though, we’ve seen a record winter crop, and strong prices for crops and livestock that have underpinned that headline number. We’ll expect that number to bounce around in coming years as things dry out, but it shows our $100 billion by 2030 target is well within reach.” Mr Jochinke added that the staggering growth in the in-

Local Aboriginal kids to embrace Bangarra Dance Youth Program MORE than 80 local aspiring dancers from Central West public schools, are to tutored by Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Youth Program Team as face-toface workshops return for the fi rst time since the pandemic. Aboriginal students from the region will take part in the workshops at Dubbo College, South Campus this week. They will be part of about 800 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students across NSW who are all taking part in 10 Secondary Aboriginal Dance Workshops. Local schools involved are the host school, Peak Hill Central School, as well as Narromine High, Coolah Central, Tottenham Central, Dubbo College (Delroy Campus), Condobolin High, Trangie Central, and Yeoval Central. The workshops are part of a long-running collaboration with the NSW Department of Education’s Arts Unit and Bangarra, Australia’s premier Aboriginal dance company. The partnership includes the student dance workshops, the NSW Public Schools Aboriginal Dance Company, and the Schools Spectacular where Bangarra provides mentoring, performance training and repertoire. NSW Department of Education Arts Initiatives Advisor, Sonja Sjolander, said the schools had shown great interest in the face-to-face workshops, which have been held online since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The value of these workshops is re-
ally about connection – for the students connecting with their culture, connecting with each other, and with students from different schools,” Ms Sjolander said. “Bangarra is the leader in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander dance and their tutors inspire our students and encourage them to dream.” Dance experience is not a prerequisite as the students learn about performance, culture and identity from Bangarra Dance Theatre Youth Team tutors. The workshops have often provided the fi rst glimpse of dance potential for students who went on to perform in the NSW Public Schools Aboriginal Dance Company, the State Dance Festival and the Schools Spectacular, the world’s largest variety show produced by the NSW Department of Education. Eight former NSW public school students who started in these workshops are now dancing with Bangarra. The collaboration between Bangarra and The Arts Unit began in 2010 when the workshops started for 50 Aboriginal students. More than 7,600 students have since benefited from the workshop program. “The program for experienced and non-experienced dancers has unearthed some real talent and potential, providing career pathways for so many students in the arts and arts management,” Ms Sjolander said.
major cities,” Mr Jochinke explained. But with climate forecasts suggesting a reversal in coming years, farmers are now looking to Government to safeguard the industry’s annual growth.
“The outlook for the next two to three years suggests commodity prices and rainfall will ease. We need to be thinking about how we respond in these leaner years to issues like record production costs which are already placing pressure on farmers’ bottom lines. “Now is the time for government to pull out all stops to support the industry’s growth. Government needs to put its shoulder to the wheel and resolve challenges like workforce shortages and biosecurity funding to safeguard that growth.” He believes that now is not the time to be putting the brakes on one of our most resilient and reliable of economic drivers. “It should also prompt a rethink of damaging policies like phasing out live sheep exports or recommencing water buybacks,” he said. “With seasons turning and that $100 billion goal almost within reach, we need to be backing farmers, not pulling policy levers that will reduce output. “If you want a strong economy, you have to back winners – and today’s results show that agriculture can deliver the goods,” Mr Jochinke concluded.
National Farmers oppose decision to phase out live sheep exports IT’S an emotive issue of animal welfare versus agricultural viability for struggling graziers, with the National Farmers Federation (NFF) expressing disappointment at plans to phase out live sheep exports by sea from Australia. This follows the Federal Government recently appointing an independent panel to consult with stakeholders to provide advice on how and when the phase-out will occur. Although the phase-out does not apply to other livestock export industries, such as live cattle exports, or to live sheep exports by air, and it will not happen under this term of government, the NFF is still not happy with the decision. “The NFF stands with 24 other peak agricultural bodies and farmers across Australia in opposing the ban on live sheep export, and does not support any process which aims to phase out the trade,” National Farmers’ Federation chief executive officer Tony Mahar said. “Cancelling an entire industry based on activist demands sets a dangerous precedent. What industry will be next?” he questioned. He added that the decision not only
impacts Australian farmers, but access to meat products for the poor in many Middle Eastern countries. “We saw in 2011 the damage it can do to a bilateral relationship when you pull the pin on a country’s food supply. “It risks compromising Australia’s reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality food and fibre,” he said. The policy, he claimed, is based on “an outdated campaign by welfare activists that ignores the significant animal welfare improvements” made through heavy investment in new infrastructure and practices. The industry has been open and transparent about the reforms it has made. He added that the NFF will not engage with Government over the advisory panel for the phase-out or the decisions that it makes. “We’re not interested in discussing a phase-out with the government,” Mr Mahar said. “We’re ready to talk about the facts of the industry’s positive welfare improvements, and the immense downsides for the economy, animal welfare, and our trading relationships if this activist-led agenda becomes a reality,” he concluded.

Narromine CWA turns 100
Panel Discussion. PHOTOS: CWA NARROMINE.
By SHARON BONTHUYS THERE was music. There was singing. There were some great speeches by inspiring women. And there was cake... so much delicious cake! The only thing missing from last Friday night’s centenary celebration of the founding of the Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA) was a telegram from the monarch – which is what one might expect when such a significant birthday comes around. One hundred people gathered at the Soul Food Depot to celebrate and reflect on the achievements of the Narromine CWA as it enters its 100th year in 2023. Although the organisation’s actual “birthday” won’t fall until November, the Narromine CWA took advantage of the opportunity to include the centenary celebrations as part of NSW Women’s Week. The night commenced with a heartfelt Welcome to Country by local students Marlea, Malyn, Mylea, and Aniyah, including a traditional song and dance. Narromine CWA president Jean Richardson and CWA NSW president Joy Beames addressed the crowd, including historical details about the operations of the Narromine Branch and the CWA NSW. Geoff Smith and Greg O’Mally were presented with certificates of appreciation for their work supporting the annual Public Speaking Competition. Peter Keirath OAM was also presented with a certificate of appreciation in honour of his
parents’ generous donation comprising the original Narromine CWA premises and a cash donation. Joy Beames recognised the long service of several CWA members, presenting long service badges to Brenda Carter and Ruth Hando. Barbara Tuck and Diane Martin were unable to be present and the branch will arrange to present theirs at another time. A rolling powerpoint presentation featured a tonne of photos unearthed by the hardworking volunteers from the Narromine Local History Group, led by Norma Meadley supported by Mary Morris, Sally Anderson, Shirley Alderton and Geoff Smith. It wouldn’t be a CWA event without baking and handicraft of some sort and the local branch delivered spectacularly. The incredible three-tier centenary cake was made by branch member and talented cake maker, Jennifer Knop. Craft including intricate quilts and crocheted rugs were also on display, as were traditional baking implements and a range of wall posters promoting the work of the CWA. Singing duo Margo and Lesley Roberts performed a number of songs including the CWA anthem, and the visiting Silver Fox Barbershop Quartet rounded out the night with renditions of several favourites. Hearing several local professional women speak about their work and what connected them to the Narromine area was also a highlight. That, and the discussion that

followed, certainly cemented the message that regardless of age, generation or school of thought, country women have been able to make strong contributions to public and private life by making many sacrifices for family, others and the community.
CWA’S passion for advocacy has achieved so much By SHARON BONTHUYS THE relevance and importance of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) in NSW was quietly reinforced last Friday night during the centenary celebrations held for the local Narromine CWA. CWA NSW state president, Joy Beames, a special guest at the event, told the 100-strong audience at Soul Food Depot that more babies were lost than soldiers on the frontline during World War I. “How sad is that? Everyone talks about the number of men that died but nobody sat and worked out how many babies died because of lack of assistance,” Mrs Beames said. Sad scenarios like this and a desire to help better the lives of country women and children spurred the formation of the statewide body of the CWA in 1922, followed a year later by the Narromine branch. In the ensuing decades, the CWA has advocated for many things that have since become part of everyday life. This includes the compulsory wearing of crash helmets for motor-
cycle riders, compulsory seat belt fitting in cars and the compulsory wearing of seat belts, “P plates” for young drivers, blinking lights at pedestrian crossings, road markings, and caravan towing instructions. Some of these concepts were certainly not new and had been recycled, Mrs Beames said, citing the caravan towing instructions which had been fi rst touted at the CWA state conference in 1981 and again in 2022. “Most of those things have been achieved, but there are some things I think we need to go back and address again,” Mrs Beames said. “We’re currently working on submissions on the homelessness inquiry, postal services, feral deer, and currently [a very important] one in progress, the bank closures in regional areas. We can’t believe the number of bank closures in rural and regional areas over the last few years.” Mrs Beames said that proponents of bush bank closures might argue that people needed to “get with the times” but this didn’t take into consideration issues facing rural people such as computer literacy or poor internet and telecommunications in the bush. “We’re just going to continue working on these things and [will ramp up] our campaigning about prime agricultural land being used for coal seam gas. “Our history of advocacy is evident and will continue, so please share our passion for advocacy,” she said, inviting local residents to
join the CWA.
Inspirational women speak at CWA centenary By SHARON BONTHUYS GUESTS at the Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA) centenary event on March 10 heard inspiring speeches by several women connected with the local community. Narromine Pharmacy proprietor Felicity Roberts gave an overview of what brought her and her family to the area, and the hard work that has transformed the pharmacy into the fabulous enterprise it is today, providing an essential service and employing many local people. A panel discussion also looked at how high achievers Leanne Heywood, Margie Fenwick Collins and Keiley Noble entered their respective careers in business, health and agriculture, and what kept them connected to their central west communities. Their down to earth and practical advice about being modern working women and what was important to them was certainly inspiring, particularly their advice about supporting other women and the community during difficult times as experienced in the central west over the last several years. Ms Heywood is a former captain and Dux of Narromine High School who went on to conquer the business world

working as a non-executive director across a range of industries including lithium mining, renewable energy, cloud communications, forestry and manufacturing. Ms Heywood was named 2019 NSW Business Woman of the Year and was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2021, and currently serves as a member of the Charles Sturt University Council. Ms Fenwick Collins is a passionate advocate for rural women and men with breast cancer and their families, and the special issues they face through isolation and distance to access services in rural areas. Over the past 20 years she has developed the Breast Care Nurse program, and with her colleague Vanessa, provides face to face and telephone support and education to people affected by breast cancer and their families in 24 towns and villages in rural and remote NSW. She is currently the Rural Primary Health Services McGrath Breast Care Nurse Specialist for the Western NSW Local Health District. A love of agriculture and riding in her dad’s grain carting truck growing up led Keiley Noble on to study and forge a career in agricultural contracting and business. More recently, she has also moved into rural policy development, inspired to help the farming community to which she is so closely connected. Along the way, Ms Noble has been recognised with a slew
of awards including Grain Young Farming Champion, 2018 Narromine Showgirl, and is currently a fi nalist in the 2023 R.M.Williams RAS Rural Achiever Award. The depth of perspective provided by each of the speakers made the CWA centenary event really something special. That these ladies are connected to the Narromine community and have contributed so much in their fields is truly inspiring.
Reflections from the President HERE is a snapshot of the speech presented by Narromine CWA branch president, Jean Richardson, at the centenary event on March 10. The branch formation... f When CWA was formed in 1922 it was initiated for mostly rural women who lived on remote properties, focusing their advocacy on education, travel, health and their relevant social issues. Now women have expanded from the original approach and are pushing for agriculture and environmental improvement. f The Narromine Branch was formed in November 1923. Mrs Fletcher from the Dubbo branch invited Narromine ladies to a meeting with the object of forming a local branch. Mrs O. Whittle was elected Foundation President, Mrs Allsop as Secretary and Mrs Allison as Treasurer. Eighteen ladies joined and the annual mem-
bership was four shillings. The ladies’ club... f A cottage belonging to Mrs Drysdale situated on the corner of Nymagee and Merilba Streets was rented and completely furnished to become a “club” where country women could use the facilities when they came to town. Other buildings used in the early days included the School of the Arts, Town Hall, and Tennis Club house. CWA generosity gives Narromine a hospital and Timbrebongie House... f It was the CWA at Narromine that took the initiative to raise the funds that secured the land and fought the indifference and opposition to having a hospital. In May 1927 the Branch purchased 11 acres from Mr Hargraves for £120 and no legal fees. The site is that of the present hospital, which opened in 1949. In the mid-1980s the CWA donated the land which Timbrebongie House now stands on. The “Younger Set” were very active... f In 1930 a “Younger Set” was formed and ran dances, revues and stage shows as fund raisers and entertainment fo the locals. These made a lot of money for the association. There are some members of the Younger Set here with us tonight. Publication success: CWA cookery books... f In 1930 a new venture was a branch cookery book with members contributing recipies – it was a great success. A cookery book was again print-
ed in 1960 and all copies were soon sold. A copy of each book is on display here tonight. The baby health centre made possible through generous support... f Early records show that the fi rst baby health station was a travelling railway carriage with a qualified nurse and equipment. The visit was every six weeks and mothers and babies came to the railway station for a consultation. In 1933, the Narromine CWA branch rented a room in Western Stores for the visiting nurse. f The Kierath family offered land and money to the value of £500 to help build a baby health centre on the corner of Third Avenue and Nymagee Street. The branch contributed £3,000 pounds towards the building. Mrs Kierath laid the foundation stone and Mrs Fairfax opened the building in 1946. Sadly, in 1985 the baby health centre and nurse were moved up to the hospital. CWA contributes to the war efforts... f In the war years, all activities were centred on the war effort. Comforts for the soldiers, letters, parcels, sheep skin drives organised by Mrs McKillop, knitted pullovers, scarves, socks, and the making of camouflage nets occupied all the women in the community as well as our members. f For many years after the war, parcels were sent for the Food for Britain together with tins of fat for soap and later tins of fruit. Members helped
with hospitality for the aimen and a room for the WAAF was furnished in the old NSW Bank building. Giving to the next generation... f In December 2011 the Apex Club wrote to the branch enquiring if we would take over the annual school public speaking competition. Members agreed and the fi rst competition for Far Western Group of the CWA was held in March 2012. We were then invited to join central West and Oxley in an inter-group competition. We consider this competition one of the most important on our yearly calendar. f We have established the Gwen Campbell Memorial Grant which is worth $500 for a student fi nishing Year 12. Nineteen students from Narromine have received Phillip Group grants earlier this year, with one receiving a special “Sylvia Osborne Award” for visual art. The total value of these awards was $5,700. New beginnings for the CWA house... f In 2022 it was decided to sell the CWA property. It is now known as the Macquarie Health Hub and is being put to a multitude of uses. A final reflection... f When you go back through history to the early years and read how hard women worked to achieve their goals, it should be an inspiration to us all. We thank them for the legacy they have left. With increased membership, Narromine CWA is looking to the future.

Tomingley mine extension to provide more opportunities for the local community
By EMILY MIDDLETON
No kidding – getting into goats at field day By EMILY MIDDLETON NOW is the perfect time for farmers to jump into the goat market, producer Craig Stewart believes, with his upcoming Goat Production Field Day, the ideal place to start. For its third year running, Collie’s Craig and Jo Stewart are holding their field day aimed at educating producers on improved production, goat health, and everything in between. While there has been a significant decrease in goat prices over the past nine months, Australian goat processors say the price has opened some export doors for the industry. MLA’s National Livestock Reporting Service (NLRS) data shows that, since mid-2022, the average over-the-hook price has dropped from more than $9/kg carcase weight (cwt) to below $4/ kg cwt. However, this means that entering into the goat market has now become a lot easier. “You can buy a goat for about $50 whereas, last year, it was $300. But that’s the difference between getting in on the bottom, than getting in on top,” Mr Stewart said. The largest goat industry research project ever undertaken in Australia, has flagged key issues for goat meat producers to consider when addressing herd fertility, with the key researcher behind the project, presenting on the day. Professor Louw Hoffman from the University of Queensland, will be speaking about his project “Kids+” on improving re-
productive performance. The project’s aim is to improve reproductive performance in goats so as to increase productivity and profitability on-farm and, so far, 12 Queensland goat meat producers have signed-up to the project with data being collected from more than 9000 goats. “What’s clear now, is that the body condition score, and then nutrition before they get mated and during pregnancy, is definitely playing a role in fertility,” Prof Hoffman said. “Another key issue is buck fertility. A producer decided to do a fertility evaluation of semen on the bucks before mating, and the testing found four of the 24 bucks they were going to use, were infertile. “That raises the question, why are people buying goats, and not asking for a fertility certificate for a buck? Cattle and sheep producers ask for it, so why don’t goat producers?” Prof Hoffman said. Mr and Mrs Stewart are looking forward to welcoming previous attendees back, as well as newcomers, to the production day. With new speakers and topics to be discussed, it is looking to be a “productive” day. “There will be talks on drench resistance in goats, a PHD student at Queensland Uni will touch on the new UID tagging that will become compulsory, how to make it pay for itself, we’ll have Jenny Bradley too, speaking about measuring to make money, all sorts of things to look forward to,” Mr Stewart enthused.

THE Tomingley Gold Extension Project has been approved by the NSW minister for planning, allowing for open cut and underground mining at the Roswell and San Antonio deposits, processing of ore at 1.75Mtpa, a relocation of the Newell Highway, and an extension of mine life to 2032. While that may seem like a lot to take in, the project is unlikely to directly impact residents of Tomingley. “They may be aware of the construction of the new section of the Newell Highway over the nine months it will approximately take to complete. This is necessary because the ore deposits lie directly beneath the current Newell Highway,” said Jason Hughes, general manager at Tomingley Gold Operations (an Alkane Resources subsidiary). The new section of the highway will be constructed on private land, with little disruption to road users until the fi nal stages, when the new section will be linked with the existing highway. The length of the new section will be 8.3 kilometres, and will meet the latest Austroads freight design guidelines and safety standards – including advanced flood management. Developing the San Antonio and Roswell resources will extend the life of the Tomingley operations until at least end-2031. “This will benefit the wider community (across Narromine shire, Parkes shire and Dubbo local government areas) in terms of continuation of employment, workforce and supplier expenditure, and community investment,” the Mr Hughes said. “The economic impact assessment estimated that 50 per cent of operating costs over the life of the project are expected to be spent within the central west and 80 per cent within NSW.” Since the project will grow the company’s overall workforce, it is anticipated that new employees and contractors will move to the region with their families. “We will also extend and grow our business relationships with many local suppliers. This is likely to create growth in several surrounding towns, including Dubbo, Narromine and Parkes,” Mr Hughes said. So far, a number of public properties around Tomingley have already benefited from a facelift and other enhancements, courtesy of the Alkane Resources community funding program. In particular, the Tomingley Hall, the Tomingley Sports and Recreation Ground, and various gardens around town. “Narromine has benefitted in a similar fashion, with many local businesses and organisations receiving funding for events, infrastructure and projects,” Mr Hughes
said. “With the extension of our operation, the funding program will increase, with more local organisations benefitting for the ultimate good of the whole community.” But what will happen after the mine wraps up? Towards the end of the operation, Alkane Resources have said that they will consult extensively with the community and specialists to determine the best possible land use options for the mine site long-term. “We will aim to provide lasting economic, environmental and social benefit for Tomingley, Narromine Shire and the Central West. “Once mining is fi nished, the entire mine site will be rehabilitated and returned to a safe, stable and productive ecosystem. We intend to leave regions of enhanced biodiversity, featuring wildlife habitats supported by the natural regeneration of trees and shrubs.” The company has also committed to improving the overall productivity of the agricultural land that will not be disturbed by the project, approximately 1450 hectares. “This will offset the agricultural land that will be impacted by the mining activities.” Alkane continues to seek additional gold resources to sustain the operations at Tomingley, particularly along the gold corridor between Tomingley and Peak Hill, with the goal of extending the mine life even further. “That is to say, the precise end-date of the operation is never certain!” Approximately 120 additional positions will be created with this extension, according to Alkane. As Tomingley Gold Mine is a “residential” operation, all employees return to their own homes at the end of each shift. “This means the overwhelming majority of our workforce lives locally – from Parkes to Narromine to Dubbo. We nurture local talent by participating in educational and career pathway events wherever possible. “We encourage any locals, even those without experience, to apply for vacant roles – and to keep applying if initially unsuccessful. There is plenty of opportunity to get a start in the mining industry if you have a great team work ethic and can-do attitude. Many of our existing employees had never worked in the industry before they started at Tomingley Gold Mine. Our workforce has a range of different qualifications and skills – including applied sciences, engineering, operational, technicians, trades, administration and logistics.” f Tomingley Gold Operations is a Foundation Supporter of Narromine Star.

New Cobar mine for copper, silver, cobalt, lithium to create 400 jobs
One-off cash payments and rent help proposed for police to go bush
Police relocating to work in some of the State’s more remote communities would receive cash payments of up to $36,000 under a new incentive scheme being proposed. PHOTO: NSW POLICE.
A new mine has been approved at Cobar, about 10 kilometres from the existing Hera Mine at Nymagee. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. GOOD news for the State’s north-west with estimates that the recent approval of a new mine at Cobar will lead to the creation of up to 400 regional jobs from the project. The approval is for a new underground mine in the historic Cobar Basin about 10 kilometres from the existing Hera Mine at Nymagee. “Hera Mine has been running for 11 years and is coming to the end of its operations, so this is a new opportunity to expand the industry with the development of Federation Mine to produce critical minerals such as copper, silver, rare earth elements, cobalt and lithium that are used in everyday products such as batteries, electric vehicles, generators, jewellery and mobile phones,” Deputy Premier Paul Toole said. “These minerals will be transported to Hera Mine for processing, securing around 150 existing jobs and creating up to 100 new positions and 150 construction roles,” he added. This project approval follows the discovery of an underground deposit in April 2019 containing high-grade metals, comprising zinc, gold, copper and silver. A further 180 existing jobs will be retained and around 180 new roles created following the recent approval to extend the Tomingley Gold Mine in the Central West until the end of 2032, according to Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes, Anthony Roberts. “Minerals and metals used to build technology play a major role in the NSW economy as a driver of jobs and investment, particularly in our regional towns,” Mr Roberts said. “These planning approvals are a winwin. Supplying untapped resources ensures regional families and communities can continue to benefit from a sustained workforce while the State positions itself as a global leader in the critical minerals industry,” Mr Roberts said.
WESTERN NSW communities including Broken Hill, Walgett, and Coonamble have been targeted for a new incentive scheme to entice more police to work in rural and remote areas of the State. Under the current government’s proposal, Police relocating to work in some of the State’s more remote communities would receive cash payments of up to $36,000 and more career development opportunities. If the plan proceeds, the new incentives would start mid-year and include: Increased payments to up to $36,000 over five years for officers who move to select regional locations; Housing provided by NSW Police at specific locations at a rate of three per cent of an officer’s salary per annum; Reduced mandatory tenure periods at identified locations to allow greater mobility opportunities for officers; Additional funding to support officers in remote and special remote areas to travel and build their capabilities and career.
As an example, under the current arrangements an officer who transferred to Broken Hill Police Station would receive a one-off payment and additional incentives up to the value of $9000 over five years. NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the new scheme would provide a great opportunity for officers looking to make a change and diversify their skills to relocate to a regional position. “Policing in regional NSW brings a whole new set of skills to learn, and the rewards gained from working closely with small and unique communities is an experience you just can’t get in the big cities,” Commissioner Webb said. “We acknowledge that it is currently a very competitive labour market and the NSW Police Force will continue to strive towards providing the best benefits and working conditions possible to nurture and develop our officers,” she added. Police Association President Kevin Morton welcomed the move. “This is about getting police in the right place at the right time.
Our members operate at the heart of these remote communities and go above and beyond to protect and serve,” Mr Morton said. “For too long, police stations in remote areas have struggled to attract police officers. These improved incentives will go a long way to attract officers to serve these rural communities. “This is a significant fi nancial win that will go a long way to retain our members in the bush who elect to police our most remote and regional communities, rewarding them for their ongoing commitment.” The new incentives scheme will apply to officers transferring to 55 communities classified as remote, special remote and remote offshore locations including Broken Hill, Hay, Wee Waa, Walgett, Wentworth, and Coonamble. Officers currently attached to remote and special remote locations who have been stationed at those locations for more than five years will also benefit from a one-off payment of $4300.
Dundas and Payten Park Precinct Plan DUNDAS and Payten Park Precinct Plan is open for comment. Two options have been prepared for the parks and ideas include Nymagee Street closure, new toilets, upgraded sporting facilities, more picnic areas, water play space, ninja course and pump track. The design consultants, Yonder Landscape Architecture, were in Narromine last week talk to the community about the Dundas and Payten Park Precinct Plan. Two dropin sessions were held in the park last Wednesday. If you did not get a chance to attend the sessions, there is still time to have your say. Options are now available on Council’s website, and comments are open until 17 March 2023.

Silver Foxes Barbershop CWA west holds first Council Quartet sing Narromine meet of year
Silver Fox Barbershop Quartet with Lynette Dull, Verena Wright and Holly from Narromine USMC.
CWA members, as far afield as from Bourke to Narromine, met in Warren last Saturday for the Association’s first Far-Western Group (FWG) Council meeting of the year.
Finding Narromine a welcoming place; the Silver Fox Barbershop Quartet, Barbara and Mal Castledine, Malcolm Geeves, David Auld, and Paul Ashcroft.
The Silver Fox Barbershop Quartet at the Narromine CWA Centenary Celebrations on Friday Night. MELODIOUS music was heard all over town last weekend as Penrith’s Silver Fox Barbershop Quartet visited Narromine. Comprising David Auld as Lead; Mal Castledine as Bass; Malcolm Geeves as Baritone; and Paul Ashcroft as Tenor; the group were also accompanied by Mal’s wife, Barbara Castledine, an accredited storyteller with the Australian Storytellers Guild. Barbershop quartets – a type of vocal harmony music – dates back to the early 1900s in America. It is characterised by four-part harmony and acapella singing with each member singing a different part, culminating in an ethereal ringing chord that creates the illusion of a fi fth singer. Commencing their Narromine tour, the “Fab Four” performed at the Narromine CWA Centenary function at Soul Food Gallery on Friday night,
followed by a large crowd of almost 45 on Saturday morning at Narromine Library. Residents of Timbrebongie House were treated to a post lunch show and a small number of patrons were entertained in an intimate performance at Narromine USMC in the evening. A fi nal performance was held during Sunday’s service at the Narromine Baptist Church. At each venue, The Silver Fox Quartet performed a mix of classic barbershop tunes, old standards and hymns including the very popular Along the Road to Gundagai, Hello Mary Lou and Battle Hymn of the Republic which had audiences singing along and their toes tapping. Mal also recited some of his original poetry. The group thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Narromine and remarked that they will have to learn some Dolly Parton songs for their next visit!
CWA MEMBERS, as far afield as from Bourke to Narromine, met in Warren last Saturday for the Association’s fi rst Far-Western Group (FWG) Council meeting of the year. High on the agenda for discussion, was the upcoming State Conference to be held this year in Bathurst, and also ways in which the Association could assist flood victims in Eugowra. It was also announced by the Far-Western Group (FWG) Scholarship Committee, that three Education grants totaling $600, have been awarded to Far Western Group students. The Public Speaking Committee, a vital component of Far Western Group CWA and an essential tool in developing confidence and self- assurance in young people, also made plans for the running of the first competition for the year to be held in Narromine in May. Students from the eastern-end of the FWG will compete in Narromine while the Western area will compete in Bourke. Winners from these events will then compete in the Inter-group competition in June, at a location to be announced. This meeting also provided a forum for the judging of the group’s Land Cookery and Handicraft competitions. Enngonia and Warren branches shared equal points for fi rst place for the Mary Hall Rose Bowl trophy, with Narromine in second place and Nyngan in third. The Champion piece was made by Lyn Newton of Narromnie branch while Glennys Church from Warren won fi rst place for the best article made of natural fibre. Glennys also won the Heather Hamilton trophy. The best collection of four needle cases was won by Enngonia, with Narromine placed second, and Trangie third. Group Handicraft Officer, Mrs Denise Turnbull from Bourke, commented on both the quality and quantity of the work entered and encouraged all members to “have a go, with the advice that “you don’t know what you can do until you try”. With COVID-19 fading into the background, the Land Cookery competition regained some of its former glory with an increase in the number of entrants, making the judges’ task a little more difficult. Overall winners on the day were: Boiled Fruit Cake, Lorraine Falkiner Smith, Warren, First; Heather McIntyre Narromine, Second. Sultana Cake, Heather McIntyre, First; Lorraine Falkiner Smith, Second. Plain Butter Cake, Heather McIntyre, First; Jean Richardson, Second. Chocolate Cake, Heather McIntyre, First; Lorraine Falkiner Smith, Second. Marble Jaffa Cake, Linda O’Brien, First. Date and Walnut Roll, Pat Riley, First; Heather McIntyre; Second. Ginger Fluff Sponge, Heather McIntyre, First. Zucchinni and Capsicum Pickles, Jean Richardson, First.

ing raised at Coonamble, with Robb formerly from Nyngan. The Lundholm-trained Listen To The Band is building a remarkable record, having won five out of its six starts since an injury-enforced two-year absence from the racetrack. Despite now being an eightyear-old, Listen To The Band has only raced nine times, and is improving with every run, while the Robb-trained Sizzle Minizzle is also lightly-raced and appears an outstanding prospect. In the $150,000 Newhaven Park Western Racing Association Country Championships Qualifier over 1400-metres, Listen To The Band began
Coonamble Races, Sunday, March 11 YOUNG gun trainers, Clint Lundholm and Brett Robb, are both off to Royal Randwick in April for a shot at the $500,000 prizemoney on offer for the Newhaven Park Country Championship. This great opportunity came after their gallopers Listen To The Band and Sizzle Minizzle qualified for the Final before a big crowd on Sunday at Coonamble. Both trainers are now based at Dubbo, with Lundholm hav-
Good fields for weekend golf Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST weekend, there were good fields for both competitions. On the Saturday, 21 players took part in the American Best Ball event over 18 holes. Winners on the day, were Tony Mann and Duane Faro-Mann, with a score of 59. Runners-up were Doug Potter and Steve Barlow on 61.75 with Shane Liddell cleaning-up the NTP (nearest-thepin) events winning on both the ninth and 13th. Tony Harding picked-up the prize for the long drive on the 11th. Sunday saw 17 players take part in the Individual Stableford event with the winner Louis Goodman with a score of 43 points winning on a count-back from Daniel Coen also on 43. These great scores showed the course was in good condition with new Veteran Golfer, “Boy George” having a field day in the novelty events winning both NTP’s on the ninth and 10th and cleaning-out the kitty by winning the prize on the drawn jackpot hole the ninth also. Rob Gainsford won the Long Drive on the 16th. The Match Committee were delighted with the turnout at the working bee held
at the course on Saturday morning. Thanks are extended to all who attended to help get the course and greens in top condition for the coming season. Events for next weekend are, on Saturday, March 18, a 4Ball Worst Ball, and on the Sunday, a Par Plus event with the Junior Clinic on Sunday morning at 9am. The Business House Competition continued on Wednesday with the fi nal competition round. The semi-fi nal was played this Wednesday between the leading team NDT (on 55 points) against third-placed DIXIE CHICKS (on 51). The second semi-fi nal is between second place-getter GERRIES (on 54) against EPIROC (on 52). All competition teams were able for this day. Next Wednesday, March 22, the winning semi-fi nal teams will meet in the fi nal. Good luck to all teams. Then on Wednesday, the 29th, the popular SHOOT OUT day will be played making it a busy couple of weeks for the Business House golfers. I will stick my neck out and tip the “Gerrie’s” to win the comp... That is all for this week. See you at the 19th!
quickly from a wide barrier and took the early lead from Boom Boom Basil, Amulet Street, and Ferus. Challenged in the straight, Listen To The Band (Jake Pracey-Holmes at $6.50) fought-on gamely to win by a neck from Sizzle Minizzle (Brooke Stower at $10) with the third, fourth, and fi fth placegetters, Smooth Esprit (Ben Looker at $21), Hit The Rim (Serg Lisnyy) and Watch Me Rumble (Ashley Morgan) all being trained by Lundholm. Pracey-Holmes is currently riding in sensational form, and he earlier combined with Lundholm for an-all-the-way on Avalicious (the $2.20 fa-
vourite), from River Rocket (Braith Nock at $6) and Boho Chick (Grant Buckley at $7) in the 1400-metres Inland Petroleum Benchmark 58 Showcase Handicap. Now a successful trainer at Wyong, Damien Lane began his career at Coonamble, and he was back home for the day to win the 1100-metres Wellington Boot Prelude Two-Year-Old Handicap with Sparkingly. Given a nice run behind the leader, Sparkingly (Grant Buckley at $3.80) raced clear to win by almost two-lengths from Chandon Star (Clayton Gallagher at $17) and Devine Chops (the $1.55 favourite).
Sparkingly is now exempt from the ballot for the $200,000 Wellington Boot on March 26, a race the popular Lane won in 2021 with Sonnet Star. Wrapping up a great day’s racing at Coonamble, the Robb-trained D’Arpano (Jake Barrett at $5.50) tracked the leaders, then finished best to beat Hiraishin (Chelsea Hillier on the $3.20 favourite) and In The Road (Pracey-Holmes at $11) in the 1100-metres QUBE Agri Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Showcase Handicap. For this week, racing is at Narromine (transferred from Trangie) on the Saturday, and at Orange on Sunday.
Narromine Bowling Club Bowls Column THE fi nal of the 2023 Club Fours Championships was played last Saturday and Congratulations to Clifton Harris, David McNair, Kevin Rider and Aaron Hutchison our champions for 2023. The match went according to the script for the fi rst 10 or a dozen ends, with neither team able to shake their opponents off. The three-multi scoring ends to Aaron’s quartet set up a margin too large for Robbie to Reel in. The lads in the red trousers had a day out over competition leaders Dubbo City winning two rinks to one, setting up a scoreboard win of 62/54, and a 9/01 result for our lads. Good to see Henry’s quartet finally click; particularly the two up front Bruce Maher and Kevin Rider, both of whom played very consistent good bowls. Nominations for the Club Triples closed Saturday, and the draw was conducted by Adam Jermyn and Rick Bohm on Sunday afternoon. With eight teams entered there are no byes and all teams play round one this Saturday, March 18 at 1.30pm. The draw is on the board but for the record the matches are as follows: Game one: Robbie Stanford’s trio will take on Steve Buttsworth and co. Game two: Ben Clark’s squad up against James Daley’s crew. Game three: Adam Jermyn’s boys do battle with Henry Buttsworth’s team.
Game four: sees David McNair and co, tackle Kevin Rider’s trio. Four good games and no doubt the window tappers will be in place early. Also, on Saturday Narromine will host the fi nal matches in the zone president’s reserve fours and triples event: Both fi nals kick off at 11am and should be two cracking games given the caliber of those competing. In the fours it will be Dubbo City vs Condobolin, while the triples feature teams from West Dubbo and Nyngan. The Zone Singles Championships, nominations are also now being taken and again if you would like to play in this event a nomination sheet with all the venues and dates has been post on the notice board. Simply enter your name and preferred venue, give James Coen the $10 entry fee and the bowls secretary will ensure you get a start. In Social Bowls this week, 14 players went round on Thursday. However, just eight lined up for the Chook Run on Sunday morning. Thursday’s winners were Noel Delboux, Bob Davis and David McNair. On Sunday Carl Moore and Bill Wilkie got all the spoils on offer. Well, that’s it for me for another week, hope to catch up with you at the ‘bowly’ during the week.

Trangie Dragon Boater makes international mainstage By BROOKE CHANDLER A HUMBLE stalwart of the Dubbo’s Outback Dragons Boat Club has been handpicked to represent Australia in the World Championships later this year. Rhonda Betts, a former resident of Narromine, will undergo months of strength, conditioning, and team-based training in preparation for the August event. At sixty-two years old, Ms Betts will be one of twenty female paddlers flying over to Thailand as part of the Seniors C Division. “I’m still quite overwhelmed”, Ms Betts told the Narromine Star. “But I’m so excited to get stuck into the training.” Rhonda succeeded through two rounds of strict time and fitness testing to make the Aussie squad. “We had to submit a two-kilometre time to the selection panel. If your time was good enough, then you got invited to a selection camp in Canberra which was held in January.” Ms Betts is not the only Central West resident to make the international mainstage, with Orange’s Kerry Madden also making the team list. “When I found out I was in utter disbelief”, she recalled. “I really didn’t expect to get in at all! It’s always been a quiet little dream of mine.” Australia’s national dragon boating team, the Aurora’s, competes strongly against its international counterparts. Their unique label joins other national team brands like the Wallabies, Opals, Socceroos, and Matildas as a powerful

Since it’s conception in 2010, the Aurora’s are one of Australia’s few sporting elites that get to compete in mixed crews, from juniors to seniors. Without the restrictions of the recent pandemic, the Aussie squad usually compete biennially at the Asian and World Championships. Rhonda Betts hasn’t always been a keen lover of the Drag-
on Boat sport. Prompted by Outback Dragon Boat publicity officer and long-time friend, Chris Robinson, Rhonda decided to “give it a go”. “I grew up way out west where there is never any water, so I was never a water sport person”, Ms Betts recalled. “I became a member in 2009 and haven’t looked back since. It’s good for the soul being on
the water like that.” The mother two admits she is driven to not return home from the competition empty handed, “I was given some gold earrings in the shape of Dragon as a gift from a friend. So, I’m aiming to get some extra bling to match those.” Dubbo’s Outback Dragon Boat club has struggled to get onto the water following back to disasters including the pan-
