DRIVERS have been warned to slow down at a rail level crossing on the Mitchell Highway near Trangie, with a reduced speed limit to come into effect for the safety of all road and rail users.

The speed limit on the approaches to the level crossing has been reduced permanently from 110

km/h to 80 km/h in both directions.

“A speed limit reduction at this rail level crossing is being introduced as part of a NSW Government campaign to improve safety at level crossings across regional NSW through the Railway Level Crossing (RLX) Speed Reduction Program,” Transport for

NSW, Regional Director West, Alistair Lunn said.

“Crash statistics show that, from 2008 to 2021, there were 83 collisions between trains and cars at level crossings in NSW and, sadly, 10 people lost their lives.

“Lowering the speed limit reminds all drivers of the need to slow down

and be fully aware of their surroundings as they approach a level crossing, making it safer for all.”

New signage will be installed on the approaches to the level crossing to advise motorists of the changes. All drivers are advised to slow down in the area.

“BE Prepared” is the Scout’s motto, and its one that could also apply to our long-term climatic conditions.

With uncertainty facing weather forecasts for the season ahead, a Trangie woman has told the Trangie Action Committee, that she believes our region would benefit enormously from a “Drought Field Day.” Lee McKinnon argues that a community day – featuring the latest water-saving products, new technologies, gardening tips, and mental health help – would limit some of the heartaches, should another drought come.

Ms McKinnon said that, while the undoubted impact on farm economics is a prominent factor when it comes to drought, the effect on family relationships with partners and families, is often overlooked.

“I remember having 100 sheep all giving birth to lambs, knowing that they were all going to die,” she recalls.

“So, of course, it does affect you, but women also suffer because they

are dealing with the men who see these things day-after-day. It has an impact on relationships, and it also affects home life, because often, their garden dies too,” she added.

Ms McKinnon said that her husband would often come back from the paddock, saying he could simply not cope anymore, but was reluctant to ask for mental health help.

“If you have a mental health day and just call it a ‘mental health day’, then nobody will come, because they are often too proud to admit they have mental health problems,” she said.

“A mental health stall, wouldn’t cut it either,” she added.

However, a drought preparedness day, would create far less stigma and provide a greater variety of services.

“A general field day, could bring a lot of things together.

“I think, you’d have to ask around what people would be interested in, and what would motivate people to go,” she believes.

The semi-retired farmer told the Narromine Star, that having comedians or speakers who can also talk

about mental health tangentially, might be one idea.

“Just sort of slip it in,” she said, “You don’t want someone there with a suit and tie saying: ‘I’m a psychiatrist,’ so it’s got to be something that will involve people”.

Trangie Red Cross Liaison Officer, Phyllis Carthy, agreed, telling the Narromine Star, that a drought field day: “sounds like a great idea”.

“We’ve had so many droughts, we have flood then drought then flood, and people defi nitely should get-together and talk about different ways to cope.”

Ms. McKinnon thinks the event should also feature a free long lunch, and while the Trangie Action Group is keen on the idea – they would need somebody to run it.

“I am winding down in life,” Ms. McKinnon said. “If someone can put their hand up to run it, then there would be nothing stopping it from going ahead,” she concluded.

Inland Rail blow-out by $15 billion, Review questions project’s viability

By LUKE WILIAMS THE much-heralded Inland Rail project has got a few people hot under the collar — and there are 15 billion reasons why.

Costs of the “nation-building” initiative has blown out to almost double initial costs estimates and may go up even more, according to a damning new report.

In her independent review of the Inland Rail development, the experienced and well-respected public servant Dr Kerry Schott, said that the cost of delivering its 1700-kilometres of track and infrastructure, has blown out to $31.4 billion.

In 2020, the project’s estimated cost was $16.4bn with a completion date of 2026–27; however, this has now grown to a projected $31.4bn with an expected completion date of 2030–31.

Dr Schott also said it remains unclear where the line “will start or fi nish,” — flag-

ging further delivery delays of at least four years.

The former Energy Security Board chairperson and NBN Board Member, said that the Board managing the project did “not have adequate skills,” and there had not been a “substantive” chief executive in nearly two years.

“This is an astonishing estimated cost increase of almost double in just two years,” the review said, stating that the reasons for the cost increase are: “mainly an increase in scope caused by immature preliminary designs and approval requirements, delays due to the prolonged approval processes, and recent escalations.”

The Narromine-to-Narrabri part of the project in mid north-western NSW, will be the Inland Rail’s longest section of track.

In late February 2023, the Australian Rail Track Corporation received approval from the NSW Minister for Plan-

ning, to progress the Narromine to Narrabri Project, subject to conditions and Federal Government approval.

This part of the project will comprise approximately 306km of new rail corridor and track. When complete, it will enable freight trains to connect with the section of Inland Rail under construction between Narrabri and North Star and the completed Parkes to Narromine section that supports freight transport to Adelaide and Perth.

“Somewhat surprisingly, the project has commenced delivery without knowing where it will start or fi nish,” Dr Schott said.

“I remain deeply worried about the level of scope-maturity across the project as a whole and, as a result, the future impact on project-cost and completion-time estimates remains difficult to ascertain.”

Dr Schott also said the project, initiated by Federal Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce,

underestimated the complexity of upgrading and adding the 1700 kilometres of track through Victoria, NSW, and Queensland.

She said further blowouts are “almost inevitable”.

“The board and its subcommittee do not have adequate skills to oversee this project,” she wrote in the report, which was commissioned by Labor in October and delivered by Dr Schott in January.

Infrastructure Minister Catherine King said: “This report is an indictment of the Liberal and National parties’ approach to government.”

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, however, went into bat for the project — saying not to overlook its importance for the economy and the environment.

“I defend and support the project; in all of this report, there has remained no question as to the significance of and the need for the Inland Rail,” Mr Coulton said.

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.

“If we are looking at reducing our global emissions, reducing the number of trucks on the Newell Highway, and moving intermodal freight between two of our biggest capital cities, Inland Rail does that.”

He said that ominous-sounding comments on the future of the project by the Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, needed clarification.

“I am not dismissing Kerry Schott’s report out of hand, but I am calling on Minister King to commit to the project, because there are more than 100 farmers awaiting confi rmation that this project is going ahead — we need clarity on that,” he said.

Mr. Coulton argued: “All large infrastructure projects in recent times are experiencing significant cost blowouts.”

Profitable and sustainable agriculture is Bruce’s life work with talk and farm tour

By DAVID DIXON PROFITABLE agriculture doesn’t have to be a choice between viability and sustainability, a local regenerative farming champion, believes.

Narromine farmer, Bruce Maynard, is holding a talk and farm tour on innovative and sustainable agriculture starting next week.

This follows recognition of his pioneering work in the field with a major farming award in 2022.

Currently providing consultancy advice to producers in the outback, he is, however, no mere theoretician, with decades of fi rst-hand knowledge in the industry.

“I’ve had a varied and lucky background in agriculture, starting at our mixed farming property at Narromine,” he said.

“My journey started 35-years-ago and, last year, I won the Bob Hawke Award for Excellence in Sustainable Agriculture... it’s been a long road, but a very fortunate one,” he added.

He believes that farming and sustainability can co-exist and enrichen and reward both the producer and the environment.

“It doesn’t have to be a choice between sustainability and agriculture,” he said.

“You can institute practices that address local, national, and global issues, and still have a productive farm,” he added.

The talk hosted next week by Dubbo Field Naturalists and Conservation Society, will be followed the following week by a farm tour of his own property the week after on the topic of “Regenerative Farm Practices”.

“People will be able to see what we’ve been up to for the past 35 years,” he said.

“Over that time, I’ve been fortunate to be associated with the Catchment Management Authority and Landcare groups, where I’ve learnt much and given much,” he added.

Bruce said that regenerative agriculture is based on age-old principles that ensure continuing farming productivity and sustainability.

His talk and farm tour will cover the rebuilding of natural structures to enlarge landscape functioning on properties utilising grasslands, scrubland, and woodland.

This requires using agricultural tools to expand the diversity of a property and thinking of the landscape as an artist’s palette rather than a checkerboard.

“The basic theory, is that we use the majority of our production base that is provided by nature, rather than external, non-renewable imports,” he said.

“I’m currently providing advisory and extension work in the upper South Australia on an outback station,” he added.

Profitable agriculture doesn’t have to be a choice between viability and sustainability, a local regenerative farming champion, Bruce Maynard believes; he is holding a talk and farm tour on innovative and sustainable agriculture starting next week.

All that glitters is gold, with Tomingley’s production peak

By LUKE WILLIAMS ALL that glitters, is truly gold, at least for Alkane Resources at the moment...

In a very good result that it is on the verge of surpassing expectations, their Tomingley Gold Operation (TGO) produced more than 16,600 ounces of gold in the third quarter of the 2023 fi nancial year.

Investors in the region should feel pretty secure as this takes TGO’s total take to 54,431 ounces this fi nancial year alone.

It therefore now looks like

the decade-old project will produce a total amount of around 70,000 ounces for the year – at the upper-end of their forecasts and a result that may exceed last year’s total gold production of 66,804oz.

That again was also an increase again from the 2021 levels, which were just over 55,000 for the year.

On those figures, it’s hard to argue that it has been anything but a good year for Alkane Resources. In more good news in February, the company received approval from the NSW Minister for Planning

approving its Tomingley gold extension project.

Alkane’s Managing Director, Nic Earner, said that this shows that TGO is performing well and on-track for a big year in gold production.

“With approval to extend the life of Tomingley, at increased production rates, we’re progressing the development of the Roswell underground, ready for ore production before the end of the calendar year,” Earner said Alkane Resources’ most advanced exploration projects sit between Tomingley and Peak

Saunders loses Nationals’ leadership bid by one vote

By LUKE WILLIAMS IT was the closest of results, but one that fell just short for our local State member.

Former minister and State Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, has gone down in a nail-biting leadership challenge to NSW Nationals Leader, Paul Toole, in a party room vote last week.

The vote followed the party losing power and one seat at the recent State Election in which the Coalition was easily defeated after 12 years in office.

Mr. Toole eventually won the vote eight to seven, with one informal vote, to defeat Mr Saunders, with both of those involved saying, they were still friends.

Mr Saunders had challenged Mr Toole after the 2023 campaign that saw the Coalition lose its one remaining government on the mainland, something that has started a conversation and debate about the values and appeal of both the Liberal and the National Parties.

The result means that Tasmania is now the only state or territory in the country with a conservative government in power.

Mr. Saunders locally, however, enjoyed an increased majority with a 17 per cent swing in the seat of Dubbo, but the Nationals failed to win back any of the seats it shed at the 2019 election.

All three former Shooters, Fishers, and Farmers MPs, that left the party to become independents, have gained significant ground to hold their regional seats against challenging Nationals Party MPs in what were not-that-long-ago safe National Party seats.

Orange MP, Phillip Donato, won re-election with a commanding 72 per cent on a two-party preferred ahead of the Nationals Candidate, Tony Mileto.

In Barwon, the Nationals had a swing of five per cent

against them.

The Nationals also lost the seat of Monaro. Further afield, the ALP now holds all seats on the NSW Central Coast for the fi rst time in election history.

Mr. Toole, who enjoyed a slight swing in his Bathurst seat at last month’s election, has been the party leader since 2021.

The challenge from Mr. Saunders would have made our local member the deputy leader of the Coalition.

But the remaining MPs chose to stick with the status quo.

Mr. Toole said: “At the end of the day, it’s been a party room decision that’s been made by my colleagues.

“I’m really honoured to be given the opportunity to continue to serve in this role over the next four years.”

Prior to the party room vote, Mr. Saunders had a coffee on Macquarie Street with six other National MPs, including Deputy Leader, Bronnie Taylor, and former Education Minister, Sarah Mitchell.

Ms. Taylor, who is still Nationals Deputy Leader, said: “Dugald is my friend”.

“The party room spoke today, the vote’s been taken and Paul Toole has been elected.”

Mr Toole also says he is “mates” with the State’s former Agriculture Minister and says they can still “work closely” with each other after Mr Toole won the challenge for the party’s leadership.

Mr. Toole said after an election, all positions in the party are made “vacant” as part of the Nationals’ “convention.

The re-elected leader added that his party could continue to: “fight for the people of regional New South Wales”.

“Even before the election, I think we found that everybody was working tirelessly, all working for the same cause, and that’s exactly what we’ll continue to do,” Mr Toole said.

Hill, which have the potential to provide additional ore for Tomingley’s operations.

Meanwhile, the company’s expansion will include the development of the Roswell and San Antonio deposits.

These new projects include a diversion of a section of the Newell Highway to the west, new infrastructure, and a minor upgrade of the existing Tomingley processing plant. Underground mining at Roswell will start before 2024.

First, though, the company will need to progress with its environmental protec-

tion licence and mining lease applications.

Additionally, Alkane Resources will submit its required updated management plans.

Earlier this year, Alkane Resources also secured $50 million in debt funding for the extension project from Macquarie Bank. It is currently expediting a development pathway to extend the TGO mine’s life beyond 2030.

NARROMINE LOCAL COURT REPORT

The Narromine Local Court sat on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 with Magistrate Stephen Barlow presiding Conviction after man bashed by women A WOMAN has been convicted of assault after a man told the court in a hearing, he was bashed by three women while being held down by two men. Two Narromine women, Mikaela Frawley, 20, and Cindy Williams, 43, both pleaded guilty to assault charges in relation to a domestic incident nearly two-years-ago. The magistrate sentenced Ms Williams a 15-month community-based order. Ms Frawley’s charges were dismissed under section 10(1)(a) of the Crimes Sentencing Act, so no conviction was recorded. The man’s ex-partner and another woman were found not guilty.

Narromine man released from custody after Coles incident 28-YEAR-OLD Narromine man Leslie Ryan is free after spending two months in custody for trying to start a fight outside of Coles Narromine. Ryan, who appeared via video link from Dubbo, was charged with affray over the incident on Monday, January 23, 2023. No physical altercation occurred. Ryan pleaded guilty to yelling “come on, wanna fight” and “stop looking at me”. “It wasn’t the most serious incident of affray,” Magistrate Stephen Barlow told the court, “But it was right in the nerve centre of Narromine.” The magistrate decided on a seven-month good behaviour bond and a two-month jail term. With the custodial time already served, Ryan was released on the day.

A warrant has been issued for a Nevertire man A WARRANT has been issued for 33-year-old, Murray McCallum, after a failure to attend the Narromine Local Court. Mr McCallum was due to attend court on April 5, but was absent. His lawyer attended on his behalf and assured the court he was planning on attending but had to leave the state because he had nowhere to live. She told the court he was “homeless, without a job, living out of his car” and said it was “interests of justice” to adjourn the matter to “test the evidence” in a matter where the defendant was pleading not guilty.

Magistrate Stephen Barlow disagreed and instead issued a warrant for his arrest, saying “I’m not going to grant an adjournment for this matter which involved a number of DV offences, including choking. He is currently on bail and did not turn up today. He hasn’t been reporting to the police and is currently in breach of his bail”. Mr McCallum is reportedly residing in Queensland.

Woman of the Year, Lynda, urging “Yes” vote on Voice to Parliament

By LUKE WILLIAMS ONE of our most prominent local Indigenous leaders, has urged a “Yes” vote in the upcoming referendum on enshrining an Aboriginal “Voice” to Parliament in our Constitution.

Narromine’s Lynda Edwards, received nationwide praise after she was awarded the 2023 NSW Woman of the Year, and the NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year, in March.

Ms Edwards has dedicated decades to improving financial literacy for Indigenous women, and to calling-out unethical business practices that target First Nations people.

She has done this by through sharing fi nancial expertise with her community and by lobbying for changes to banking practices and Australian Tax Office policies that discriminate against our most vulnerable communities.

Now she is using her platform to call for another significant change for Aboriginal Australians – the Voice to Parliament.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice is a proposed Federal advisory body to the Commonwealth.

It would comprise First Nations people; most-likely directly-elected by Indigenous Australians from each State and Territory.

Fundamentally, it is a proposal for change for the Constitution to both recognize Indigenous people and to create an advisory board to our Parliament.

“I’m defi nitely in support, it has been a long-time coming,”

Ms Edwards said.

“At this time, it is only an advisory body to the Government. In the future, I hope that it is a body that takes some kind of responsibility, but at the moment, it is just an advisory body,” she added.

She said that the idea will only work, however, if it is based around grass-roots democratic principles.

“That’s what needs to happen. It needs to come from the ground-up,” she said.

“People need to be elected into those positions, not just put there,” she added.

The Wangkumara and Barkandji woman said there is presently nothing that gives First Nations people a constitutionally-recognised right to: “actually have a say about what happens in their life.

“Well, at the moment, we don’t have anything like it.

We don’t have an independent, elected body. We have government services but not an independent body,” Ms Edwards told the Narromine Star.

The Voice would allow some of the most economically and socially-disenfranchised groups in our society to be finally heard, she believes.

“It’s so difficult to have conversations with the Government at the moment, and so difficult to be heard.

“They are not required to talk to us. Not even about the work I do in fi nancial literacy. If it’s in the Constitution, it means all governments have to work with that body,” she explained.

The benchmark for a Referendum to succeed – a majority of support in a majority

of States plus an overall majority – looks set to be met, according to the latest Newspoll published by The Australian newspaper.

Their recent survey found that 54 per cent of the 4756 Australians polled said that they agreed with constitutional recognition and an enshrined Voice to Parliament; only Queensland did not record a majority.

A study conducted in February by global market research fi rm IPSOS, also revealed that 80 per cent of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, support the Voice, with three-quarters of respondents “very sure” about their decision.

Eight in 10 out of those surveyed said they would vote “Yes” in a referendum, while one-in-10 remained undecided, with the remaining respondents opposed.

One of those who disagree with the change, is First Nations and Liberal Senator for the Northern Territory, Jacinta Price.

Senator Price recently told ABC TV’s “Q and A” program: “If recognition were the only thing we were looking at – then I would absolutely support it,” she said, “I cannot support it, because it is a transfer of power to individuals who have been at the seat of power, who have had a voice to government for decades, and have failed,” she added.

Ms Edwards told the Narromine Star that she had heard the comments, but disagreed with the sentiment.

“I have a lot of respect for Ja-

cinta Price; I’ve met her a couple of times now. I think what this is, people elected directly by our community, are that the right people are going to be heard.

“Before there wasn’t anything in the Constitution, and this makes things different,” she said.

Earlier this month, the Liberal Party formally resolved to oppose the Voice, instead proposing symbolic constitutional recognition of Indigenous people along with local and regional voices set-up by legislation.

The Australian survey also found that about 55 per cent of Coalition voters, oppose constitutional recognition of the Voice.

Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is proposing six months of consultation after the referendum – if it is carried – to work-out the design.

However, Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, has said The Voice: “Is without precedent, the risks significant, and it would undoubtedly result in a significant change... and not for the better”.

He believes that this is not the answer to indigenous disadvantage, but will only by create: “another layer of bureaucracy... permanently disrupting our system of Government.”

Controversial Indigenous leader, Noel Pearson, recently revealed that the idea of the Voice originally came from conservatives in Government when John Howard was in power in 2007.

He said he was “absolutely heartbroken” that some of

the people most involved, were now attempting to tear down the Voice.

Melbourne University Academic, Marcia Langton, who has previously supported conservative causes such as income management, has said that Mr Dutton is using Aboriginals as: “pawns in his smart party games”.

She says the Voice is needed to: “ensure money is not spent on more bureaucracy and gets to people on the ground”.

Prof Langton describes the Voice as a: “nationwide architecture of regional bodies that form a national voice and give advice to Parliament and to the Executive.”

The near-universal criticism from indigenous leaders comes as former Indigenous Australians Minister, Ken Wyatt, has quit the Liberal Party over its opposition.

Former Prime Minister, John Howard, has, however, backed Mr Dutton, saying that while he called for First Nation recognition in the Constitution in 2007, this meant something in the preamble, and not the proposed Voice.

“The Voice is not a third chamber to parliament; that’s a scare tactic,” Ms Edwards told the Narromine Star.

“It can’t go to the High Court; it can’t pass votes in Parliament; what I would be saying to Scott Morrison, and Peter Dutton, is have a look at what the Voice is all about,” she concluded.

Help needed now! Trangie Lions’ Club dinner for: “food that feeds the soul”

By LUKE WILLIAMS OUR local Lions Club is in dire straits, with President David Dugan, issuing an open letter to the people of Trangie for help.

“Dear Residents and friends of Trangie,” the letter reads: “The Trangie Lions Club is in a very vulnerable situation.”

With an ageing cohort of just four active members, Trangie Lions Club is deeply concerned about its future.

Despite this and to their credit, the group are still fulfi lling many of its invaluable func-

tions around the community.

The Trangie Lions Club runs several events in town, including the Lions Barbecue, a Christmas party, and Lego days, and raised funds for the fi rst publicly-accessible defibrillator in the town.

“Our membership numbers have dropped throughout COVID, and other members have chosen to move on,” Mr Dugan said.

“So, we are at the stage where a decision needs to be made about the future of the club,” he said.

In particular, Mr Dugan points-out that the Lion’s Club participates and organises a range of important community-minded events.

“We celebrate our area and its people, set-up disaster relief, fundraise, and lend a helping hand to all those who need it,” he said.

“The Trangie Lions Club is a fantastic vehicle to get things done in our small community,” he added.

Formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1917, the Lion’s Club set up its fi rst Australian Charter 30

years later. The group’s motto is: “We Serve”.

A community bus purchased and run by the club daily out of town, is possibly the club’s biggest project.

However, there are some concerns that the bus may need to be purchased by the Trangie Action Group in the future because the Lions Club may not have the volunteers to run it.

Mr. Dugan says that his group now has the option of merging with Narromine Lions Club, but would prefer to:

“raise membership numbers from within our community, lighting our town spirit with fresh ideas and faces.”

The Trangie Lions Club will hold an open-invitation community dinner later this month.

“Several standout Lions from our area will be talking about what they have achieved over the years.” he said.

“Please come along, remember the gift of your time, is the food that feeds the soul,” Mr Dugan concluded.

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

Community Celebration in Wilcannia VISITING Wilcannia last week, I was pleased to attend the Community Celebration to launch the Central Darling Shire Heritage Trail. Part of this project, led to the creation of the Central Darling Shire Heritage Trail Tourism App. This app provides self-guided driving and walking tours of towns such as Wilcannia, White Cliffs, and Menindee, and features podcasts and interviews from locals.

Initiatives such as this are a wonderful way to engage visitors to these areas and, while the ground-breaking for the Baaka Cultural Centre has been delayed, the future of the Far West continues to look brighter than ever.

Visiting the new Broken Hill Children’s Contact Service THE new Children’s Contact Service at Broken Hill is a welcoming space full of toys and games for the children who need it most. It was great to visit recently and see such a friendly, safe environment ready to support families, who are in need of supervised visitation.

In 2021, the former Coalition Government committed $40.7 million to establishing 20 new Children’s Contact Services

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, recently attended the Community Celebration in Wilcannia to launch the Central Darling Shire Heritage Trail. across Australia. I made representations to the-then Attorney General to ensure Broken Hill and the Far West would be eligible to apply for this funding.

These representations were successful in getting the Far West recognised as an eligible region and CatholicCare Wilcannia Forbes Broken Hill were able to secure $2 million for the Children’s Contact Service we see today.

This outcome couldn’t have been achieved without the determination of Julua Hamel,

the CCWF Broken Hill team, and numerous other community members who fought to bring a Children’s Contact Service to the Far West.

this report have been used by Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King, to criticise the project.

Release of the Schott report on the Inland Rail

In all of this report, there has remained no question as to the significance of and the need for the Inland Rail. If we are looking at reducing our global emissions, reducing the amount of trucks on the Newell Highway, and moving intermodal freight between two of our biggest capital cities, the Inland Rail does that.

LAST week I spoke in defence of the Inland Rail project following the release of fi ndings from an independent review led by former Commonwealth energy adviser Dr Kerry Schott. The fi ndings from

I defend and support the Inland Rail and the work on the ground that has been completed so far, which is world-class.

The completed sections of the Inland Rail, are as good as any railroad in the world and all those involved should be incredibly proud.

Minister King has consistently cast criticism on the Inland Rail; however I call on her to recognise its undeniable significance not only to Western NSW, but nationally and give clarity to the future of this project.

Three-quarters of a century wedding anniversary for Pat and Les McKinnon CWA RECIPE

Macaroni Supreme Contributed by NARROMINE CWA

Three-quarters of a century goes in no time flat for happy couple, Pat and Les McKinnon.

THREE quarters of a century is a long time, but not so for one happy local couple.

Next week on Friday, April 21, will be the anniversary of 75 years of blissful marriage for the McKinnon’s, Pat (aged 95) and Les (aged 100).

The two met at a birthday party for Max Lees at the Narromine Golf Club all those years’ ago, and say that there was an immediate connection.

Pat and Les are both from prominent district families, the Tucks and the McKinnons, and were married at Narromine Methodist Church in 1948 with their reception drawing 300 held at the town hall with catering by the Methodist Ladies.

Pat’s attendants were Colleen Tankred and Barbara McKinnon (now Newbigging); and Les’s groomsmen were Neville Tuck and Trevor McKinnon.

Pat’s dress was made by Mrs Coomber from Dubbo and her flowers were shipped out from Sydney by train; they honeymooned in Foster.

Les and Pat both grew-up in Narromine, were schooled here, and had their fi rst jobs locally. They both attended the same church, but hadn’t met each other there due to their age difference. Les was for years a compositor at the Narromine News with Pat a bank officer at the Bank of NSW. Les also spent nearly four years in the RAAF and Army during World War II. Les’s father had operated a barber-shop in Narromine for 65 years, and his brother Trevor was the Town Clerk and then the Shire Clerk. Les’s sister, Coral, ran the local dress shop.

After a couple of years living in town they moved to work for

225g cheddar cheese, grated 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Ingredients: 700g minced beef 1 medium onion, diced 1 large can of tomatoes 1 teaspoon salt 2oz pimento stuffed olives, drained and sliced 1 cup of water 225g elbow macaroni

Method: In a frying pan over medium heat, cook mince.

Add onion and cook until meat is browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in tomatoes with their liquid and remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally. Serves 8.

Jack Matthews at Rockley and then, in 1953, purchased Brae Park and lived and worked there for 19 years as Les worked the farm as Pat reared pigs to supplement the farm income.

They then moved to Port Macquarie for three and a half years before returning to Trangie to purchase Tarawera in 1975.

Pat was an active member of the community, being involved in the CWA, the church, and was also involved with the fi rst preschool and the retirement centre.

Pat was, and still is, a skilled painter and was an avid golfer.

She and Olive Quigley opened a nursery and florist shop in the main street, having decorated over 60 weddings in their time.

Pat and Les loved to travel and have owned caravans for the majority of their life, spending 20 years going to Karumba each year. These travels have only recently ceased. Les was a Mason for 77 years.

In 1989, they moved into town in Trangie, their house being originally built by Roy Barlow who owned the timber mill.

They have a magnificent garden which is admired by many.

They have three sons, Don, Brian and Scott; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren, and welcome and enjoy extended family.

When asking them what attracted them to each other, Pat says that Les was very affectionate and Les tells that he fell in love with Pat in no time flat.

In 2022 they both moved into Kurrajong Court in Trangie and are being very well looked-after by the wonderful staff.

Defi nitely time to rest and put their feet up!

Squats, deadlifts, and weights, key to faster, stronger netballers, top coach

By LUKE WILLIAMS IF netballers want to get faster and more agile on the netball court – they need to go the way of our footballers and hit the weights, a top netball coach visiting Narromine and Trangie these school holidays, believes.

“General resistance training will allow them to build strength and can build the amount of force you can produce in your muscles; especially lower bodywork,” Emily Coggan from Empowered Netball Coaching recently told the Narromine Star.

“Squats are useful when you

Ladies turn-out for Wednesday Golf ON a beautiful Wednesday morning last week, 17 ladies hit the course, with a total of 11 playing the nine holes and six playing the full 18.

The trophy for 18 holes, donated by Gail White, was won by Wendy Jeffery with 39 Stableford points with the ball winner Vicki Gainsford on 35 points.

The nine-hole winner was Viv Halbisch with 21 points; the C-Grade winner was Bev Woods with 20 points and nine-hole ball winners, were Kim Handsaker on 20 points and Maida O’Mally on 18 points.

Nearest-the-pin winners were Wendy Jeffery on the ninth and the 17th, and Jeanette O’Brien on the ninth.

On Easter Saturday, a small field of eight played a par event for a club trophy.

Winner of the trophy was Bev Woods with plus one; the A-Grade ball winner was Vicki Gainsford on minus one.

The ball winner was Anne Harmer at all-square, with nearest-the-pins going to Michelle Ashdown on the ninth and Wendy Jeffery on the ninth and 17th. The drawn card was won by Gail White.

Yesterday, the Ladies played the fi rst round of the Nancy Elrington Stableford event with the second round to be held on Saturday.

The course is in wonderful condition, “thank-you” to all the volunteers, and we hope to see you on the course.

come up with as much force as possible. Squatting replicates the body movement of jumping,” she added.

Ms Coggan said that, while junior netballers are: “well-educated on warm-up techniques,” they do miss-out on: “specific strength work on the lower leg work and the knees”.

She encouraged local netballers to look at “core work, squatting, dead-lifting, pressing – they can help you jump higher and move faster,” she added.

The other aspect to moving faster on the netball court, says Ms Coggan, is mastering running techniques.

“Kids often don’t get taught how to run properly. If their technique breaks down with running, then they will get a lot slower,” she said.

“They need to do specific sprint training drills. They want to be able to run as efficiently in a straight line as they can. Also, using their arms; that’s the thing that kids are scared of, because they think it looks silly, but kids need to use their arms to get to one place to another quicker,” she said.

She said her clinics would focus on increasing speed and strength as well as looking at footwork and

change of direction.

“It’s about being able to move as efficiently as possible to move from one direction to another, and that comes down to a lot of technical things, like hip positioning and knowing what foot to push out on, so it doesn’t slow them down.”

Her clinics in Narromine and Trangie will be for girls aged between 10 and 16-years-old.

“The girls are growing, and they don’t always have a lot of control over their limbs,” she said.

“So, I’ll be teaching them how to move their footwork properly. How to move short,

sharp, and fast rather than take big steps.

“Also, I’ll be doing a little bit of ball work. Just enough to really fi ne-tune the girls on the day,” she said.

She said that the clinics, however, will not all be a hard-slog.

“A little bit of match day in the end, purely just for fun, and also showing them how to make new connections with people outside their club which, if they are going to try out for more elite pathways, that will be important,” Ms Coggan concluded.

Double for McCullock over Easter Weekend Contributed by NORM LEWIS FEATURE of the Easter Weekend golf, was the double victory by visiting golfer Andrew McCullock.

Andrew is a regular visitor to Narromine, and he really hit form over the weekend with, on Saturday, a great round of Plus 9 in the 18-Hole Par event. Nearest to him in second place, was Steve Squires with Plus 4.

The NTP (nearest-the-pin) winners were Rob Gainsford on the ninth, and Chris Harding on the 17th with McCullock also collecting the long drive trophy on the day.

Moving to Sunday, where the event was a 4BBB Versus Par. Here again, the winner was Andrew McCullock who teamedup with his father-in-law, Ron Green to return a card of 48 points.

Runners-up were Craig Duff and Steve Buckley on 46 points; good to see Steve in the winners list – a long-time between drinks for our popular Club Secretary – rumour has it, that he

carried “Duffy” all day!

The NTP winners were Tony Harding on the ninth Craig Duff on the 17th with the long drive winner, Henry Buttsworth.

There was also a comp on Monday, but the results will be published in next week’s edition.

Events scheduled for next weekend are as follows include, on Saturday the 15th – an 18-Hole Strokeplay for the Monthly Medal, and, on Sunday the 16th, a Four-Ball Multiplier, with the Junior Clinic in recess for the School Holidays.

The monthly Veterans Nine-Hole Comp will also be played on Saturday in conjunction with the Monthly Medal with a Stroke event on the back nine.

The next Veterans Open Tournament will be held at Gilgandra on Thursday, April 27 where we should support Gilgandra.

The hit-off for this event will be 10am; let Secretary Norm know if you can attend.

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

Castlereagh League kicks-off with Dunedoo knockout comp ON-FIELD action for the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, finally gets underway this Saturday, April 15 with some great rugby league on offer for footie fans from around the region.

Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval is the venue for Dunedoo Swans hosting of the Narromine Jets, with a dozen games on offer at the traditional season-starting knockout comp.

This follows a disrupted start of the season, that was created by problems sorting-out the complicated draw.

Initially drawn to play the Trangie Rams in the opening game of the knockout, the Swans now fi nd themselves playing Coonamble in the third match of the day.

The fi rst game will kick off at 10.30am and will feature the Gilgandra Panthers versus the Gulgong Bull Terriers. This game will be followed by the Coonabarabran Unicorns, who sat out last season, up against the Jets team that won the 2022 Knockout.

Narromine Jets President, Mick Burns, told the Narromine Star, that the event would be a precursor to what he expects to be a big season for the local side.

“Pre-season has been tough,” he said, adding that this was not because of the draw problems themselves, but because team trainer, Steve Thompson, has pushed the players to their physical limits.

“He has been running fitness sessions with all three grades every Tuesday, it’s been hard work, so much so that none of us look forward to Tuesdays – especially in the heat of January and February,” he joked.

“Everyone had a good go... we have good numbers turn-up this season, and all of us have been training well.

Some new players have shown-up, some handy-looking players too; everything is looking good,” he added.

At 11.30 am on Saturday, the Swans and Bears clash is set to take centre stage for the knockout comp.

Last year’s Premiers, the Cobar Roosters, who Burns told the Narromine Star are going to be: “very strong this year”, will then play the Baradine Magpies.

The Binnaway Bombshells will also have their fi rst outing when they play the winner of the Gilgandra versus Gulgong game.

With every team guaranteed at least two games, 12 matches will be played in total, with the fi nal due to kick-off at 4pm.

The annual Castlereagh league tag and youth league knock-outs will then be played the following Saturday in Coonamble with Round One of the competition starting on Saturday, May 6.

Burns said that he hoped the Narromine Jets would at least make the semi-fi nals this year.

“As long as we stick-together and everyone has fun,” he said, was the main thing.

That we play football in the right manner and conduct ourselves well off the field, then that’s all I can ask for,” he concluded.

SPORT RACING NG REPORT ORT

By COLIN HODGES

By COLIN HODGES SITUATED in far north west of the state within 70 kilometres of the Queensland border, the famous opal mining town Lightning Ridge attracted a very big crowd on Easter Saturday to the annual race meeting.

Although the $74,000 prizemoney is tempting, a major enticement for owners and trainers to start their horses at the isolated venue are the trophies, opal pendants for the support races and a magnificent opal bracelet for the cup winner, independently valued at $19,500 and created by Jo Lindsay from Lost Sea Opals.

The much sought after opal bracelet now has a home with connections of the Kevin Dixon, Tamworth-trained Indian Thunder, winner of the 1200 metres PW Concrete Lightning Ridge Cup. One of the best backed runners at the meeting, the eightyear-old gelding Indian Thunder started at $7 and with apprentice Kelsey Lenton in the saddle led the 11 horse field to the home turn.

Opal bracelet won by Tamworth’s Indian Thunder (Shayleigh Ingelse, $12) which ran on well along the inside rail while the 2022 cup winner Fearless Mila (Ronald Simpson, $5) fi nished third.

Making a welcome return to the winners list after a break from racing was the talented apprentice Ronald Simpson on the Dar Lunn, Dubbo-trained Gretzky in the 1200 metres Lost Sea Opals Benchmark 45 Handicap.

Racing in Bourke

By COLIN HODGES ALTHOUGH scaling back operations over recent years, Rodney Robb gave a timely reminder of his abundant skills when going within a halflength of training every winner on Easter Sunday at the Bourke Picnic races.

Nyngan-based Robb won with All Words (Cup), Saint

Olga, Centre Circle and Sindagar while Addictions ran second, beaten in a close finish by the Wayne Prisk, Cobar trained Mr Pointer.

Owned by Paul and Belinda Frampton from Merriwa, All Words was ridden an outstanding race by Leeton jockey Breanna Bourke in the $12,000 Splashe Cola-Rices Back O Bourke Cordials-Harry Hart Memorial Picnic Cup, over 1600 metres.

Parked behind the leaders, Knee Slapper, Amazingly and Gossip, the Robb trained All Words ($3 equal favourite) was switched to the inside and powered along the rails to win by over two and a half lengths from Gossip (Leandro Ribeiro, $3 equal fav.) with nine lengths to the Queensland visitor Hard Currency (Todd Bailey, $15).

Breanna Banks also rode Saint Olga ($3) for Rodney Robb, an all the way winner of the 800 metres Bourke Steel and Hire – Frank’s BP Service Station Maiden Plate from stablemate Supreme Reality (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.40 fav.) and Cinders (Tamsin Gough, $11).

Champion jockey Leandro Ribeiro took the reins on Centre Circle in the 1000 metres Outback Ice & Outback Refrigeration Class B Handicap and the $2.80 favourite led throughout to beat Yes Kurt (Ricky Blewitt, $3) and Kooky Kangaroo (Wayne Wheatley, $3).

Leandro Ribeiro and Rodney

Robb again combined to win the 1300 metres Nutrien Walsh Hughes-Frank’s Outback Security with Sindagar.

Owned by keen racing enthusiasts from Condobolin and Trundle, the strongly supported Sindagar ($2.10 fav.) travelled fourth and in an exciting fi nish won by a neck from the Greg O’Neill, Nyngan trained Outback Cod (Breanna Bourke,$8) with Borlotti (Ricky Blewitt, $6) from the Jane Clement stable at Bendemeer in third place after backing up from Lightning Ridge the previous day.

Raced in partnership by Butch Eves and the Cobar trainer Wayne Prisk, Mr Pointer prevented a clean sweep at Bourke by Rodney Robb who was represented by Addictions humping the 76kg top weight in the 800 metres Bourke Bowling Club Open Trophy Handicap.

First season rider Tamsin Gough led all the way on Mr Pointer ($3.50) to beat the gallant Addictions (Breanna Bourke, $3 equal fav.) by a half-length with two lengths to the third placed Yorker (Leandro Ribeiro, $3 equal fav.).

Since joining the Wayne Prisk stable, Mr Pointer from three starts has recorded two wins and a second placing.

Revived after many years out of action the Bourke Picnics have become a tremendous success story and on Sunday it was possibly a record breaking crowd.
