Local Sorry Day event commemorates the Stolen Generation By LUKE WILLIAMS BROUGHT inside because of wet weather and icy winds, Narromine’s Sorry Day event this year was a mixture of the solemn and the life-affirming, bringing people together to remember the Stolen Generation. Held at the Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre, Shelly Bayliss from the Narromine Aboriginal Lands Council, told the audience the Government forcibly removed one-in-10 Aboriginal children from their families between 1910 and 1970. National Sorry Day is an annual day of commemoration and remembrance of the Indigenous Australians impacted by government policies of forcible removal that resulted in the Stolen Generations. The ﬁ rst National Sorry Day was held in 1998, one year after the tabling of the “Bringing Them Home” report. The report was the result of a national inquiry that investigated the forced removal of Indigenous children from their families. “Children were removed from family, country, and culture,” Ms Bayliss told

biscus, which reﬂects the Indigenous people’s strength and resilience in coming through this process and trying to heal,” she added. During the local event, school-children came on stage

Angry at insurance hikes? Shop-around, broker says

ASTONISHING rises in many people’s home and contents insurance in the Shire, is often caused by poor understanding of regional conditions, a local broking fi rm has said. Flick Ward, an insurance broker from Wardi broking in Narromine, told the Narromine Star there were a number of complex causes for why insurance premiums had risen, but that: “a lot of it, had to do with a lack of local knowledge,” she said. “These underwriters, are often being guided by risk assessments; they are saying, ‘Oh my God, the Macquarie River is flooding,’ so it must impact all towns.” This “one-size-fits-all” approach saw towns in the same area, all lumped together, she said. It’s the same with Warren. Even though they have this beautiful levee on the river, when the river floods elsewhere, premiums are still going up in

Warren,” she said. “Many insurers do not understand the local issues,” Ms Ward added. Her analysis follows revelations, that many Shire homeowners have had hikes of up to 500 percent annually. Following the rise, Narromine Shire Council recently wrote to the Insurance Council of Australia over their concerns about the jump in home insurance costs across the Shire. Councillor Lyn Jablonski, is one who went public after she had experienced a four-fold increase in insurance premiums for her Narromine home. “A 300-400 per cent rise is defi nitely not justified,” Ms Ward said. “Its people sitting in Sydney or overseas, who are writing the risk analysis. ‘This area has flooded, everything is going up, we need to recoup our losses, we need to make money for our shareholders, we need to be fi nancial,’ that’s why we have massive increases,

but we should never accept a massive increase, shop it around, 100 per cent,” Ms Ward advised. Risk-aversion, she said, is most insurers’ default position. “The high river recently, even though it didn’t break the banks and it didn’t go into the town, really scared the insurers. “For months, we couldn’t place any new insurance, because they thought we were underwater.” However, Ms Ward said that there were other reasons why insurance premiums were going up — including the “run of natural disasters in NSW and QLD,” which meant that underwriters had to make massive payouts now, and they are trying to recoup their losses with rises across the board. “It’s not just Narromine that’s going up; its everywhere that is going up, cost of living, cost of building, it has all gone up,” she said, noting that the cost of materials has almost doubled — steel, wood, labor — so,

to replace a house these days, is about twice what it was a few years ago. Ms Ward said that people need to shop-around more when it comes to insurance. “Some places are going up 10 per cent rather than 300 per cent. I think there is a myth around insurance, that you need to stick to the one insurer your whole life or that it’s tough to change insurers. It’s not. It’s really simple. It’s a really easy process. Every renewal you get, shop around,” she said. She said that the small values locally, are simply being hitched in international trends. “In the scheme of it, a house in Narromine is a very small drop in the ocean for a global insurance company; that’s why you have to shop; they are going in a global direction rather than what’s going on in Narromine,” Ms Ward concluded.

Local Sorry Day event commemorates the Stolen Generation

A free sausage sizzle lunch was provided after the event. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

Narromine NASCA.

St. Augustine’s Parish School.

From page 1 A student from Narromine Christian School, reﬂected on the fact a child would just be going for a walk around their neighborhood when they would be taken away in a car from somebody from the government, and not be able to see their mother and father thereafter. Another from the Narromine Christian School said: “the removal was absolutely horrible; it helps us learn about saying sorry and being kind to others; they were working like slaves and not seeing their families”. “Sorry Day reminds me to be fair and kind to everyone and treat everyone with love and understanding.” Primary school students from St Augustine’s, noted

that the Stolen Generation involved: “children being scared and running away”. “The children were sleeping in the night, but they were taken away… I feel sorry for the children and parents, as I’ve felt lost, and it’s the worst feeling ever.” A student from Narromine High School, said the stolen generations show the ability of First Nations: “to overcome trauma and impact of this experience — that we had the strength to stand up against colonisation. “For me, I would like to know more about my family, my language, and where we come from. “Young Aboriginal people have been disconnected — but they don’t want to bring it up

with the older generation, because it digs-up traumas from the past.” Mel Barry, who has taught at Narromine Preschool for 16 years, said she: “Teaches about Aboriginal history and culture throughout our everyday curriculum. “We teach about what apologies mean. We teach them empathy. Guiding children through this process, they can be the best they can be”. Grace Toomey, a Wiradjuri woman from Dubbo and a councillor with the central region of the NSW Aboriginal Lands Council, told the Narromine Star: “Sorry Day is a day of reﬂection for tremendous trauma. “We saw that, with loss of identity; identity is one of

those things you need to hold onto; we walk in our Aboriginal world, and in our white world, it’s hard to do that, but my advice to young people is that a strong identity will get you through those worlds”. Cr Toomey said the current child protection system currently runs the risk of having the same effect as the Stolen Generation. In NSW, Aboriginal children are disproportionately represented in “out-of-home care.” In the 2019/20 ﬁ nancial year, more than 6600 Aboriginal children were out of home care: 41 per cent of all children in the system. “If the department of communities and justice worked with the parents more and helped them with their prob-

lems more, there would be less children taken away,” Cr Toomey said.

For example, if a house has domestic violence, tell them ‘Dad needs to leave the house’. Instead, they walk-in and take the children away.

“Then what happens is the parents lose their kids, so they lose their house, and they end up homeless, and so the department will never give the kids back,” Cr Toomey said.

So, the department just sets people up to fail. This means that there is still a very high rate of Aboriginal children being removed from their families,” she concluded.

Garden Club donates $1000 to “Rescuers” By LUKE WILLIAMS

AFTER several months of fund-raising efforts, the Narromine Garden Club have raised a total of $1000 which they have chosen to donate to Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) Narromine. President of the Club, Chris Samuels, told the Narromine Star that the VRA is one of a number of community groups that they donate to. “We have maybe half a dozen different causes that we support,” she said. “We usually give $1000 each year to one of them; this year, we choose the VRA,” he added. The Club uses a range of means to make their money, she added. “We raised a lot of the money through the Trakmaster OffRoad Caravan Owners’ Club when they came to town a few weeks ago” she explained “Members opened up their gardens and supplied lunch, and received donations from them,” Ms Samuels said. The vibrant local club is one

of Narromine’s moist dynamic groups. “We also have meetings once a month, raffles, and produce stalls where people donate produce that people buy. “So, every month we raise money” she said of the Club which has around 50 members. The rescue group, she added, are a worthy recipient of this year’s fundraising efforts. “VRA are our local rescue squad group, there are always things they can get that can help them do their job better,” Ms Samuels said. . VRA Narromine Squad Captain, Anthony McEachern, told the Narromine Star that the funds will be well-received.. “The money will go to some life-saving pieces of equipment in a new set of hydraulic cutters — used to get people out who are stuck in vehicles,” he said. “This wasn’t expected, we just got an email about this and thought, ‘wow, this is fantastic!’ We are very grateful to the Garden Club for their donation”.

Making their money grow… several months of fund-raising efforts has seen Narromine Garden Club donate $1000 to Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) Narromine.

Job Vacancies at record levels across the region By LUKE WILLIAMS JOB vacancies in Western NSW, continue to skyrocket. New research from the Regional Australia Institute (RAI) shows there were 1340 job vacancies in Dubbo and the Central West in December 2022 - an 11 per cent increase from December 2021 and a 132 per cent increase from December 2017. Our region’s vacancy rates are higher than the regional Australia and regional NSW average, which showed job vacancies in December 2022 were up six per cent year-onyear and 109 per cent from ﬁve years prior (2017). But, overall, job vacancies in regional NSW grew faster than Sydney, which recorded a -0.8 per cent decrease in yearon-year job vacancies. Speaking at the National Press Club in Canberra on May 23, RAI CEO Liz Ritchie launched the Institute’s latest report, Regional Jobs 2022: The Big Skills Challenge, identifying the biggest gaps in critical roles.

“This report shines a light on the unprecedented challenge playing out in regional Australia, as labour supply struggles to keep up with demand – despite population movement continuing,” Ms Ritchie said. Demand for workers in regions hit record levels in 2022, with December recording a ten percent annual increase in the number of roles advertised, outpacing growth in capital cities of three percent. “Comparing these vacancy growth rates over ﬁve and ten years shows that this is an acceleration of a long-run phenomenon of regional vacancies growing at nearly twice the rate of metropolitan areas,” the NAI’s Big Skills Challenge Report said, “Overall, the data shows that workforce expansion in regional Australia in 2022 failed to keep up with demand and is struggling to respond to supply and demand trends that have been gaining momentum over the last ﬁve to ten years”. The report showed vacancies across regional Austral-

ia for Carers and Aides in December 2022 was 3,506 higher than five years earlier and three times what was advertised a decade ago. While reflecting the known challenges in the housing and construction industries, December 2022 vacancies for Construction Trades Workers were up 40 per cent from five years prior, with more than 1000 roles advertised. While Education Professional vacancies fell outside the top 10 for total vacancies, this group experienced the third highest year-on-year growth with a 35 per cent jump, totaling twice the number of vacancies advertised at the same time five years ago. “Medical Practitioner and Nurse vacancies in regions represented almost half the total national vacancies for this occupation grouping, despite regional Australia representing only one-third of the population,” Ms Ritchie added. “The RAI’s decadal snapshot shows some regions have recorded five-year vacancy growth rates for Medical Prac-

titioners and Nurses of more than 500 per cent, with the North Coast NSW IVI region looking to fi ll more than 400 roles,” Ms. Ritchie said. “Job vacancy growth year on year shows that the regions are falling further and further behind in trying to secure staff. Without intervention, the gap potentially will widen.” While professional roles (which include Medical Practitioners and Nurses) account for the most significant number of positions advertised in regional Australia (26.7 per cent) and require a skill level commensurate with a bachelor’s degree or higher, the remaining three occupation groupings in the top four are occupations that require a minimum Certificate III. “To strengthen educational pathways in regions to meet the demand for workers, understanding the most in-demand roles, on a regional level, is critical. “The Dubbo and Western NSW area posted a five-year growth rate of 248 per cent for

General-Inquiry Clerks, Call Centre Workers, and Receptionists,” she said,

Preliminary economic modeling undertaken by the RAI indicates that ﬁ lling these positions would have a signiﬁcant economic impact on the regional and national economies.

“These roles represent a total of $1.76bn in direct wages paid to residents of regional Australia. Filling them would create an immediate $1.24bn in economic activity. The estimated 1,670 advertised child carer roles in regional Australia can potentially enable 11,690 parents/guardians to participate in the workforce,” Ms. Ritchie said.

“This report highlights the growth opportunity currently being presented to regional Australia and the importance of accelerating support to enable regional Australia to play a bigger role in national prosperity.”

House prices still on the up, Narromine Man one of two across property-short Shire charged over big Dubbo Fire By LUKE WILLIAMS By LUKE WILLIAMS LOCAL housing boom shows no signs of abating, with realtors saying that property prices are still growing strongly. Owner of Fair Dinkum Real Estate, Andrew Ball, said he estimates that property values have increased by about $50,000 in the past 18 months. “There hasn’t been much to sell; we have limited housing on the market, certainly, it’s near impossible to ﬁ nd a rental,” he said. “ I get three to four calls a day looking for rentals in Trangie, but I rarely have anything on my books,” he added. Data from online site, realestate. com.au, shows that the median house price in Trangie are $229,000 based on 16 sales in the past 12 months — an increase of 70 per cent. Buyer demand has increased by 33 per cent in the same period, it says. Realestate.com.au, also states the median price of houses in Narromine has increased by 30 per cent in the past 12 months, with the median price now sitting at $388,500 — almost twice the median value when compared with May 2018. Roz Reynolds of LJ Hooker in Narromine, said that outside demand is fueling the local boom. “The Narromine area has probably increased in value between 60 and 70 per cent over the last two years, with great interest from outside buyers, not just locally,” she said. So, we have a lot of Sydney investors coming into the town,” she added The Shire trends contrasts with what has been a topsy-turvy period for home prices in the entire Central West region.

The latest Corelogic report said that values remained “steady” for many years until late 2019, when they rose incrementally until around April 2021. They then shot-up about 30 per cent over 16 months. However, around halfway through last year, the price of both of our homes and units, began to fall and are now almost back to pre-peak period levels. The latest CoreLogic report also shows the number of dwelling sales is -28.4 per cent lower than one year ago and -14.3 per cent below the ﬁve-year average for the region. Ms Reynolds said though, that this has not been the case in Narromine. “We opened our office in February 2021, and we have seen our prices rise again and again since then,” she said. “Prices have been stable in the last few months, we have less property coming to market, and we are looking for more listings and for people to sell. So now is a good time.” She added that the amount of time houses spend on the market in recent months, has varied widely between properties. “We are seeing the average time a property spends on the market of between 30–45 days”. Ms. Reynolds said that Narromine did have some availability in rental properties: “but they are moving quite quickly.” Like Trangie, she said there was a housing shortage in Narromine: “there is a housing shortage right around the country…it would be great if there were cheaper building materials and more land available,” she said.

A NARROMINE man is one of two men charged following an investigation into a ﬁ re at a business in Dubbo. At about 1am on Thursday, May 25, emergency services were called to a business on Yarrandle Road, Dubbo. Fire and Rescue NSW extinguished the blaze; however, several cars were destroyed. Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District also attended and commenced an investi-

gation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Following inquiries, police arrested a 36-year-old man in Narromine. He was taken to Narromine Police Station. Police also arrested a 36-year-old man in Dubbo, who was taken to Dubbo Police Station. Both men were charged with malicious damage by ﬁ re. Both were given conditional bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday, July 5.

Great escape; Narromine prisoner briefly flees from Bathurst Jail NARROMINE man, Lynden Tony Biles — serving a four-and-a-half-year sentence for violent crimes — recently enjoyed a brief break from prison life after making a run for it. Biles had been working on the external ground of the Bathurst Correctional Centre on Browning Street at about 8.20am on Tuesday, March 28, , when he ran across the road into a nearby park when guards weren’t looking, according to Court documents. Biles then took-off his pink fluorescent vest as he darted through the park, throwing it on the ground as he headed east along Rocket Street. Police arrived a short time later. They began patrolling the area when they spotted a man who fit Biles’ description at the intersection of Rocket and Stewart Streets. The court heard police stopped and asked if he — who they identified as Biles—- had escaped from jail. Mr Biles was arrested and told police he had escaped because he wanted to be transferred to Wellington Correctional Centre Mr Biles of Booth Street, Narromine, appeared by audio-visual link to Bathurst Local Court on May 17, where he pleaded guilty to escaping from lawful custody The Magistrate sentenced him to six months in jail for the offense, which will come to an end on November 16, 2023. Biles was convicted in 2020 for four-and-a half-years after he assaulted and robbed five people during a 90-minute drunken crime spree the same year.

Bulls-eye! Narromine-Dubbo Rifle Club, gets new ranges

IT’S onwards and upwards, for our local marksmen! NSW Firearms Registry has recently given approval for Narromine-Dubbo Rifle Club (NDRC) to open two new shooting ranges at its existing facilities. NDRC President, Simon Etcell, told the Narromine Star that the Registry approved the changes midway through last month. “We now have been approved to set-up a pistol range and a shotgun range,” he said. “So, the range will now service both long-range and short-range shooting,” he added. Mr Etcell said the opening of the new ranges, set to happen in the coming months, are part of a fiveyear plan he initiated when he became Club President two years ago. “The club is really growing” he said. “We started off with 20-odd members 10-years ago, now we have 107 fi nancial members.” He said when he began as President, he really emphasised families and junior members joining. “I took over as captain two years ago. “We had about 65 members… shooters come from all over the place to use our range: Dubbo, Wellington, and also Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.

“It’s a huge thing for Narromine, and we try to encourage everyone to spend money locally”. Dubbo Zoo staff, kangaroo shooters, and National Parks and Wildlife Service officers, all use the range for accreditation purposes. The Police Tactical Response Team, also utilise the facillity. “We’ve just bought wheelchair-accessible ramps, so we are trying to make sure all the ranges are eventually wheelchair-accessible” Mr Etcell said. He said the club has also beneﬁted from the Road Transport Authority which did about $80,000 worth of work on the range, as it had about 200,000 tonnes of road spillage it had to get rid of. “We are encouraging more Narromine people and businesses to get involved.” “There is a fair-few safety checks at the range” he explained “We check your licence, we can also offer a p650 form, and that gets checked through the police,” he added. He said it was important to point this out, because the gun shooters he said were often “stigmatised” by parts of the community. But he remains very optimistic about the site’s future. “I think we are on our way to becoming one of the premier shooting sites of NSW,” he said.

It’s onwards and upwards, for our local shooters, with the NSW Firearms Registry recently giving approval for Narromine-Dubbo Rifle Club (NDRC) to open two new shooting ranges at its existing facilities.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, June 1, 2023

Good and the bad of sustainable ag projects, to be covered at Conference SUSTAINABLE agriculture is “vital and necessary,” but at this stage, a road often paved with mistakes that we still need to learn from. That’s one of the key messages that will be made at of the upcoming National Renewables in Agriculture Conference. Electric tractors, renewable diesel, bioenergy, and solar-powered farms across Australia — that’s the vision for the future of agriculture on display at the Dubbo event being held in June. Conference Organiser and Narromine farmer, Karin Stark said that, progress might be slow, but the results are worth it. “Cutting emissions and costs are important steps in building a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector, with on-farm renewables providing a valuable opportunity for farmers,” she said. “In addition, with consumers increasingly seeking low-carbon products, renewables also pave the way for many farmers to improve their environmental footprint,” Ms Stark told the Narromine Star. In this regard, it will be important for the Conference to also discuss when sustainable agriculture projects haven’t worked out as expected. Her partner, Jon Elder, said that the conﬂab presented an opportunity to: “talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly.” “We are an example of this. We have had mixed success with renewables. So, it’s a chance to talk to

National Renewables in Agriculture Conference Organiser, Karin Stark, with her her partner, Jon Elder: Consumers increasingly seeking low-carbon products will pave the way for many farmers to improve their environmental footprint. people about and learn from some of the mistakes they have made,” he added. Mr Edler explained that , as their main business is cotton, their highest cost is the use of diesel for irrigation pumps. “So we were interested in converting one of our pumps to our diesel/solar hybrid bore, so during the day, it would use solar panels and at night, the

generator would kick-in,” Mr. Elder said. While savings have been made, he added that, it has not been all smooth-sailing. “We invested a lot of money in that. The ﬁ rst year we did save a lot. “In the ﬁ rst year, we probably saved close to 200,000 litres worth of diesel. “But it has had teeth-

ing problems smoothly.

running

“We thought we would sortout these problems and we would be away. “But these problems have persisted, and we haven’t made our money back on our investment at this stage; we haven’t even paid back the investment yet — we are hopeful that will happen in the future.

“We are looking at refurbishing that unit; it has been a long road,” he added. Such experiences, he said, are invaluable learning events. “ It’s valuable to hear some of these stories. “The scale of what we are doing with sustainable agriculture is novel. Marrying diesel and solar technology, is problematic,” he added wryly. Another passionate advocate for sustainability in farming, Michael Unwin of Michael Unwin Wines, has had a smoother run with renewable energy sources at his winery and will be speaking at the conference. The winery runs on solar power, enabling operations to be off-grid. “We are trying to run a sustainable business, so as well as solar and batteries to power our operations, we also have earth ﬂoors in the cellar, which is a substantial contribution plus smaller initiatives such as ‘ice banking’ and in situ growing of blackwoods in the vineyards to post,” he said. For Jon Elder, though, there’s no going-back to the old ways. “Agriculture has to be sustainable, or otherwise, it is going to head to a dead-end; sustainability is a journey. “Renewables will increasingly be part of agriculture, and it will be a part of it for two reasons — sustainability in terms of cost to the business and sustainability on ecological impact in terms of reducing emissions,” he said.

Prickly debate over new invasive weed; Tiger Pear A LOCAL farmer and members of the NSW Farmers Narromine /Trangie branch, says the new invasive weed, Tiger Pear weed is the “number-one noxious threat” to the Shire. However, Narromine Council respectfully disagrees. Tiger Pear (Opuntia aurantiaca), which originated in South America, is a spreading or climbing cactus that grows to around 40cm. It has sharp, barbed spines that grow up to 5cm long that can cause painful injuries to people, livestock, working dogs, and pets, and injure and sometimes even kill wildlife that gets trapped in the spines. If the spines get stuck around the mouth of lambs or calves, it prevents them from feeding and they starve. Many farmers in the district are concerned about Tiger Pears’ spread across the district. At the NSW Farmers Narromine/Trangie branch’s recent Annual General Meeting, the branch passed a motion: “that the Association pushes for an increase in funding for research and development of means for

controlling the weeds Tiger Pear and Hudson Pear.” Others at the meeting suggested that the issue be brought to the attention of the State Association and that Central Local Land Services address their branch on measures that they are taking to control Tiger Pear. Narromine farmer, Robert Webb, who initiated the motion, told the Narromine Star: “Tiger Pear is a health threat; it is becoming more-and-more present in our Shire and adjacent shire; make no mistake, it’s a real problem for pet animals, livestock. “If you fall in a clump of it, dogs, in particular, they try to remove it, and it gets stuck in their mouths, if they don’t get the treatment, they are doomed,” he added. Most importantly, he said, it is spreading. “Any area that stock might travel,” he said. “Flooding has been a carrier, traveling stock is a carrier, and we probably need threetimes the amount of manpower we have, to get onto the noxious weeds issue across the Shire”. However, Narromine Shire

Council General Manager, Jane Redden, from told the Narromine Star, she did not think that Tiger Pear was out-of-control or the most problematic weed in the Shire. “No, it would be Boxthorn,” she said but conceded, “There are various outbreaks (of Tiger Pear) around the Shire, mainly along sides of the road and in some reserves.” “We normally spray after winter with Grazon Extra or Garlon, adding a wetter so it sticks to the plant, and we have it under control.” “I would say more widespread than people realise” Mr Webb argued. “People wouldn’t know about it, until there is some misadventure; if sheep got it in their mouths, the main risk of it is, is that it lodges in mucous tissue it clings very well; we have plenty of other weeds, but this one needs to be priority ‘number one’,” he said. “I am not being alarmist. We need to stop their spread or even try to eradicate it; it is a real threat to livestock,” he concluded.

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

Speech on the Voice to Parliament LAST week in Canberra, I had the opportunity to make a speech on the hypocrisy of big corporations, the Labor Government, and the Greens when it comes to the Voice to Parliament. Their actions do not match their words, when they speak of empowering Aboriginal people while, at the same time, ripping opportunities and vital services out of the areas in which they live. Many of my constituents are Aboriginal people and I will do all I can to support them. I have great respect for many Aboriginal leaders in our communities who are doing a tremendous job. I am in favour of constitutional recognition, but I do not see this Voice translating to measurable positive outcomes for people in my electorate.

National Reconciliation Week

NATIONAL Reconciliation Week runs from May 27 to June 3, and is an opportunity to reﬂect, remember, and learn. May 26 was also National Sorry Day, when we acknowledge the suffering experienced by the Stolen Generations. I was in my ﬁ rst week in Parliament, when Kevin Rudd

Uncertainty on project needs to end: workers on the Inland Rail Narrabri to North Star section in 2021. gave the National Apology to the Stolen Generations in 2008, and I know this meant a great deal to many Aboriginal people. As the Member of Parliament representing the electorate with the second-highest percentage of Aboriginal people in Australia, I have and will continue to work towards reconciliation by supporting local leaders in the communities I represent. Their strength and resilience is the reason that I do see a bright future for Aboriginal

people in this country, though there remains challenges to overcome.

Infrastructure at risk under Labor THE grief that the Minister for Infrastructure has caused by putting a cloud over infrastructure projects in regional NSW and, especially the Inland Rail, is a disgrace. Farmers, local councils, private businesses, hundreds of contractors, and entire com-

munities who have invested in the Inland Rail, are waiting for the Minister to make the future of this project clear. Inland Australia relies on good, safe, effective infrastructure, and to leave our people in such a state of uncertainty on projects of national signiﬁcance, is unacceptable.

Saluting Their Service IT was my privilege to present Vietnam Veteran, Geoffrey Stanford, with a “Saluting Their Service” Certiﬁcate of

Appreciation last week, thanking him for his service to our country. Geoffrey bravely served on combat operations in South Vietnam as a member of the Royal Australian Infantry Corps in the Second Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment. He also received a certiﬁcate on behalf of his brother Gregory Stanford, who was killed in action at the age of 22 as he was also serving in the Royal Australian Infantry Corps in South Vietnam.

Celebrating mums; at St Augustine’s

SHOWING how much they mean to us; Mother’s Day was celebrated at St Augustine’s Parish School on Friday, May 12. Lots of our mothers and grandmothers camein for the special School Mass where students prayed and gave thanks for their mums. As a special treat, after the service, they were then pampered by the pupils (see attached pictures). “We painted their nails and did their hair,” a School Spokesperson said. “We loved dancing and playing ‘Cat and Mouse’ with our mums,” a student added. Art, then became the order of the day. “Meditation and colouring a picture of Mary, gave them a time to rest and relax,” the Spokesperson said. “We also drew some portraits of our mothers,” the student said. “They had the time of their lives. Having our mothers at our school was such a delight. It was one of the most special occasions that has happened in our school. “Mothers are the most important people on the earth, in our lives and in our hearts,” they concluded.

TEACHING the joy of reading to children, is one of the greatest gifts we can offer our young. With this in mind, the National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). This involves, every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, being read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places, around the country. Now in its 23nd successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children’s book that explores age-appropriate themes. This year, children and Family Day Care educators joined staff at Narromine Library last Wednesday, and over two million others around Australia, to share in the reading of the chosen book, The Speedy Sloth by Rebecca Young, illustrated by Heath McKenzie. It is a tale that celebrates triumph and the spirit of winners.

Experience unique “Singing Bowl Meditation”, down by the River

By LUKE WILLIAMS NOTHING gets one quite as much in touch with their senses, as meditation. Amidst the trees, soft grass, and a very curious bird, Karen Hamilton has spent the past 15 minutes focussing the participants lying on mats, to pay attention to every little part of their body — from the feeling of the wind on their feet, to the sensation of swallowing. Then, she begins to chime her crystal singing bowls. The bowls are made from high-purity quartz crystal sourced from Western Australia. They soon begin to emanate a resonating, haunting hum that goes up, down, and then all around for about 25 minutes. This harmony creates a curious sensation in the body, where you feel attuned to some deeper life rhythm — and with that, a feeling of lightness. Ms Hamilton holds “Crystal Singing Bowl” meditation sessions every Thursday by the river in Rotary

PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

Park, Narromine. Crystal Singing Bowls are often used in the traditional Chinese practice of Feng Shui, where practitioners believe they “heal” and “clean” themselves through “sound cleaning”, but many who attend the meditation sessions, simply ﬁ nd them relaxing. These events, funded by Narromine Shire Council, have been held by Ms Hamilton for the past 12 months, and harmonise with her private meditation sessions. “I’ve been a teacher for many years, and I always had an interest in doing breathing-type exercises with the children,” she told the Narromine Star. “I also always had an interest in meditation and mindfulness. Then I ended-up getting breast cancer a few years ago and, I know this sounds strange, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me!” She said, this was because the health challenge of her disease, deepend her understanding of the power of meditation.

”I certainly started meditating a lot more when that happened, and doing mindfulness activities to deal with the pain. “I guess breast cancer was really the catalyst that made me think about my life, because it’s so easy to focus on our lives at our busiest and what we do every day. “It made me stop and think about whether I am enjoying my life and what I’m getting out of it,” she said. “I was always motivated by the school system, and I wanted to see the well-being of our kids in school given more attention.” Ms. Hamilton said it was essential for her to include the everybody, in her mindfulness. She added that while some people think about “God” during the meditation sessions, this is not necessary. “What I’m not doing is not religious based; I’m just teaching people how to manage stress.” Participant Debbie Blinman agreed, saying that while doubtful at ﬁ rst, she has found

the sessions helpful. “The meditation was just fabulous. I love the sound of the bowls, especially outside.” “To be honest, I got involved because I was Karen’s friend,” she said, admitting that coming from a science background, she was something of a sceptic. “It wasn’t so much the meditation I was sceptical about, but the idea of it having healing properties and the ‘ﬁ fth dimension’, I wasn’t so sure about,” she said. She said, it is all about getting in touch with your transcendent life, I have always recognised the spiritual side of things, though. “I really love the mindfulness, just turning your mind off for an hour. I notice the difference if I don’t come. I work in a fast-paced job, so it’s good to switch-off,” she explained. Meanwhile, another participant, Bev Mann said, she has only just started meditation this year. “It relaxes me, and it stops

your mind from overthinking; you can centre yourself” she said “It relaxes your mind and allows you to connect more deeply with things, like nature and the creator. “The bowls are so good; they just calm you. It’s an ancient practice, so there must surely be something in it,” she added. While the sessions are not strictly health-focussed, they do have their beneﬁts, Ms Hamilton said. “They are healing bowls,” she explained “I don’t necessarily promote healing, but they are healing sound bowl sessions. “Because we are mostly water in our bodies, the vibrations directly go into the water in our body, and go directly inside and help us operate at a higher vibration. “It just makes us feel good and reduce stress. It’s good for us and good for our health,” she concluded.

Biggest Morning Tea; raising scones, and money, for a cancer-free future

PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

By LUKE WILLIAMS MORE than a dozen people from the Narromine Shire came together on Monday at the Wesley Centre to raise funds to ﬁght cancer. The Biggest Morning Tea featured caramel slices and pikelets as well as a variety of scones, biscuits, and sandwiches, as locals did their bit to help bring the world closer to a cancer-free future.

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a community event that raises money to make a difference for those impacted by cancer and this year is its 30year anniversary. Groups who use the Wesley Centre, including the Women’s Shed, organised the event, with Leona Lodding from the Shed telling the Narromine Star, why they support this worthy event. “It goes to a good cause.

Most of us had somebody, or ourselves, go through cancer. So it’s well worth it.” “We got a lot of support from out of town, and not as many locals,” she explained. “I’m hoping we reached our goal of $500”. One-in-two Australians are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. The event was also attended by the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Dawn Collins.

“I believe that most people have been affected in some way by cancer. So these morning teas are very well-supported, and it’s because so many people have been impacted in some way by cancer,” she said. “I think we are fortunate these days to seek medical advice early and hope that we survive cancer. But, unfortunately, in some cases, it’s not always successful, which is very sad. But I hope through

fundraising they can ﬁ nd through their research the needed prevention”.

She said Narromine is a close-knit community and that people come out and support these causes.

“It’s also a good chance for people to get together and talk to one another. Many of these people probably don’t get to see each other that often,” she added.

THE Pirates, Bandits, and Rebels of Narromine Soccer Club, were at it again last weekend, causing havoc and mayhem, on the football ﬁelds of the central west! This time, it was competing in a massive Gala Day in Dubbo that proved to be a very successful event. Thanks go out to all the players and their very-dedicated parents, who certainly got their steps-up! Thanks also to Club sponsors Nick Greentree Constructions and Spoonies Carpentry, Joinery and Building.

Gorrillas impress on Sponsor’s Day

Narromine v Parkes Second Grade.

PHOTOS: PEDR CORDEROY.

By GINNI BROWN THERE was a huge turn-out for the Narromine Gorillas Sponsor’s Day as the teams took the ﬁeld against Parkes. Second grade continued their undefeated run, attracting a full complement of players with returns from injury, and a team committed to a result.

The team then put together a solid win with another changed line-up as conﬁdence builds each week. Club Captain, Hugh Browning said: “it was incredible. We hope this undefeated run continues”. First Grade put in a massive effort as, at half-time, the score had blown-out to a twotry lead to Parkes Boars.

With 10 minutes to go, the Gorillas were still down on the scoreboard, until Eric Dayes gathered a loose ball and scored, followed by another try to Ratu on full-time. A missed conversion meant that the score was 27-all; however the result does not reﬂect on the massive defensive effort the team put in all game.

The Parkes team were a physical force, but the Gorillas never gave up. “It was the deﬁ nition of playing for your mates,” Browning said. “It was easily our best game this season. The turnout we had from the crowd, gave us the momentum to play the style of footy that the Goril-

las want to be known for,” he added. The club acknowledged all the sponsors and the committee volunteers who made Sponsor’s Day possible – special mention to Tori Hamilton and Cindy Job. The Gorillas have a couple of weeks respite until Ladies Day on June 17 v CSU at Cale Oval.

camps, being run under the “Holiday Break” program. In good news for local footie fans, a spokesperson from the Minister’s office confi rmed to the the Narromine Star that our town will host one of the training camps, with the dates yet to be confi rmed. “The programs are helping young people living in western NSW, especially from Aboriginal backgrounds, build their skills and confidence,” Ms Moriarty said of the training scheme. “Our partnership with NSW Rugby, through the NSW Government’s Holiday Break program, is giving young people

across regional and remote NSW the opportunity to literally ‘kick goals’ by learning and developing their skills, while being active and having fun with their friends,” she added. The funding is designed to provide for eight staff to deliver training clinics to about 1200 young rugby players in 15 remote communities across regional NSW. “The program is quite unique, because it is being delivered in remote communities by employees of NSW Rugby who live-in and are connected to the communities of western NSW,” Ms Moriarty said.

“About 70 per cent of participants in the NSW Western Plains programs are likely to Aboriginal young people who, due to the program’s success, might end-up being the next Dylan Pietsch or Waratah Women’s Pathway player, Janalee Conroy. “It is inspiring to see NSW Rugby investing in western NSW communities in this way and encouraged to see such engagement and enjoyment across these successful training clinics in remote areas,” Ms Moriarty said. NSW Rugby CEO, Paul Doorn, added that the Holiday Break program partnership

allows young people to engage with communities in western NSW and ensure they have access to skills and development clinics and programs. “This is about more than rugby for us. It’s rugby for good,” he said “Of course, giving more children an opportunity to develop their skills allows us to nurture talent and inspire the next generation of NSW rugby stars, but it also encourages these kids to come together to get active and connect in the great outdoors,” Mr Doorn concluded.

Cobar and Wellington Races

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Cobar Miners Race Club Meeting, Saturday May 27 EVERYTHING comes to those who wait… for 36-year-old apprentice, Paul Zerafa, his two wins have been a long-time coming, the latest being on Saturday at Cobar on local galloper, Mr Pointer. Originally apprenticed at Kembla Grange in 2005, Zerafa rode in trials and, in 2006, spent some time with the Rodney Robb stable at Nyngan. Later he was seriously injured, and had 16 years away from riding before starting another apprenticeship with Brett Lazzarini at Kembla Grange, with his ﬁ rst winner being at Moruya in 2022 on the Blake Fitzpatrick trained Bracewell. Local trainer, Wayne Prisk, supplied several mounts for Paul on the weekend at Cobar, and they combined for a dashing win with Mr Pointer in the 1000-metres Lou Simon Memorial Benchmark 58 Handicap. Crossing quickly from the outside barrier, Mr Pointer (at $3.50) led throughout, for a nearly two-lengths win over Brooklyn Star (Ronald Simpson at $4.60) and Luckyim-

withaimee (Will Stanley at $4). Raced by Butch Eves and Prisk, Mr Pointer — from only ﬁve starts since joining the Prisk stable — has recorded three wins and two placings. Dubbo trainer, Connie Greig, continued her amazing record in feature races at Cobar, when Gossip won the 1700-metres Westrac Cobar Cup. Carrying three bets of between $2400 to $500, Gossip was given a charmed run third on the rails by Ken Dunbar and wore down the leader Beg Me (Jayden Barrie at $15) to score by three-quarters of a length with the Connie Greigtrained 2022 Cup winner, Valadyium ( Will Stanley at $5), a length away third. At both the Cobar Miners Race Club and Cobar Picnics, Connie Greig has now won a total of six Cup races. Also at the meet, Gulgong trainer, Dennis Consadine, praised Bathurst-based apprentice, Ashleigh Stanley, for her ride on Frau Holle in the Dr Allan Brady Memorial Benchmark 45 Handicap. Coming from a long way back, Frau Holle (at $5) swept to a three-lengths win over Sindagar (Ronald Simpson on the $2 favourite) and Shiny Agent (Jayden Barrie at $7). Another apprentice to produce a patient ride, was Hollie Hull when she brought the Clint Lundholm-trained Bu-

pkis (at $5.50) home with a strong ﬁ nishing run to beat the leader, Geesheehan (Wendy Peel at $10) and Gunnerside (Dylan Stanley at $4.60) in the 1200-metres Vinny Delaney Memorial Class One Handicap. The other winners on the day, were both ridden by Wendy Peel — the Clint Lundholm-trained Kubaba (the $1.80 favourite), and Alaskan Aura (at $6), trained at Dubbo by Ashley Gibson. Facilities and the general presentation of the racecourse at Cobar, are comparable to prominent TAB clubs and the dirt track was very well-prepared for the meet. Racing at Dubbo is on Friday; Coonamble Picnics are on Saturday; with Bathurst next Monday.

Wellington Races, Sunday, May 28 JOCKEY Ronald Simpson, gained further recognition for his outstanding ability when riding a winning treble on Sunday at Wellington. Two of his winners, Notabadidea and Obey, are trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm, to whom Simpson is apprenticed, while fellow Dubbo trainer, Dar Lunn, supplied his other winner, Pants On Fire. Notabadidea, a previous winner for races up to

2400-metres, was kept fresh by Lundholm and landed good bets when backed in from $9 to $5 for the 1400-metre feature race, the Simmo Signs Benchmark 74 Handicap. Parked in a handy spot by Ronald Simpson, Notabadidea ﬁ nished best to score in a three-way photo ﬁ nish from Majority (Clayton Gallagher on the $2.50 favourite) and Kateru (Shayleigh Ingelse at $21). Obey (at $6.50) settled wellback in the 1100-metre Over The Line Racing Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap, before storming home down the outside to win by a half-length from Brogans Creek (Patrick Scorse at $5) and Starane (Tony Cavallo on the $3.20 favourite). Trained by Dar Lunn for Guy Mitchell from Binnaway and Rob Pratten from Dubbo, Pants On Fire (Ronald Simpson at $5.50) led throughout when beating War Toy (Chelsea Ings at $16) and Vain Rich (Will Stanley at $3) in the 1400-metre Ryan & Rankmore Chartered Accountants Class One Handicap. Leading senior jockey, Clayton Gallagher was also in good form at the meet, booting home a winning double on Press Forward and Bold Offa. From the Dubbo stables of Brett Robb, Press Forward (the $1.55 favourite) tracked the leaders to the home-turn before getting to the front and

beating Vanoureuce (Ronald Simpson at $8) and Seriﬁce (Tony Cavallo at $9) in the 1100-metre Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club Country Boosted Maiden Plate.

Opposed to a field of speedsters, the Allan McRae, Yasstrained Bold Offa (at $4.60) led for home and held-off the fast-fi nishing Billabong Isle (Will Stanley at $3.50) with Beauchamp (Hollie Hull at $5) fi lling third place in the 900-metre Jennifer Conn Lawyer & Consultant Benchmark 66 Handicap.

Owned by James Carolan and trained at Dubbo by Garry Lunn, Freycinet (the $2.60 favourite) at the ﬁ rst start since coming from South Australia, had a length of the straight battle with Break Over (Ronald Simpson at $3.50) before winning by a head with Schmacko (Chelsea Ings at $26) third in the 900-metre KFC Wellington Maiden Handicap.

The other winner at Wellington, was the Claire Lever, Hawkesbury-trained Romantic Rock (Kayla Nisbet at $3.60) in the 1400-metre Federal Hotel Maiden Plate.

Racing at Dubbo is on Friday; Coonamble Picnics are on Saturday; with Bathurst next Monday.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

Terriers go to top of the table By BRYSON LUFF

GULGONG Terriers sit alone at the top of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League table as the only undefeated side after four rounds of the 2023 competition. Playing at home, the Terriers proved to be too-strong for the visiting Baradine Magpies scoring seven tries to two in their 38-12 win, with their talented fullback, Ethan Pegus, proving to be a real handful for the Baradine defence as he crossed for four tries in the victory. At the same time, the only other unbeaten side going into Round Four, the Cobar Roosters, suffered a loss on their home turf to the Narromine Jets. In what was an entertaining and closely-contested game, the Jets claimed the competition points with a 10-point winning margin, the fi nal score being 36-26. The fi rst-grade win completed a winning trifecta on the day for the Jets, as they also won the Youth League 48-16, as well as scoring a comprehensive 56-4 triumph in the League Tag game. Both the Coonamble Bears and the Gilgandra Panthers also opened their winning accounts for the 2023 season, when they downed the Binnaway Bombshells and the Coonabarabran Unicorns respectively, the Bears winning 40-28 at The Crater, and the Panthers 42-30 in a high-scoring game in Gilgandra. Any confidence taken out of that win by the Panthers, however, will be put to the test this Saturday when they travel to Narromine to battle it out with the high-flying Jets in a Boronia Cup Challenge game. This will be Narromine’s third defence of The Cup, after they initially secured it when they played Gilgandra late last year.

Gilgandra Panthers (42) defeated Coonabarabran Unicorns (30). PHOTO: STEPHEN BASHAM. Apart from the retention of this famous bit of silverware, the Jets will be keen to get one back over the Panthers after Gilgandra downed them in the 2022 major-semi at Cale Oval to secure the Grand Final hosting rights. (The Boronia Cup is not played for, during ﬁnals games). Other games this Saturday, features the Cobar Roosters at home again, this time to Coonabarabran. Undoubtedly the 2022 Premiers will be smarting from their loss on their beloved Tom Knight Oval to the Jets and after a long road trip, the Unicorns can expect a rousing reception from their hosts. At Baradine, the Dunedoo Swans will clash with the

Magpies in what is an important game for both clubs, with the Maggies searching for their fi rst win of the year and the visitors out to shore up their position in the top four. The fi nal game will see the youthful Binnaway side travel to Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval tasked with the unenviable job of being the fi rst team to lower the Terrier’s colours in 2023! Coonamble has the bye.
