“Hats off to Mal”; big numbers, smiles, at “Dusty Boots” country music fest By LUKE WILLIAMS IT was a country music hoedown, where everyone had a fantastic time. Fans at Narromine’s threeday Dusty Boots Festival over the weekend, were left with the old conundrum, why is it, that the music form that celebrates the struggles and heartbreaks of ordinary lives, is so uplifting? The answer might have something to do with an 85-year-old singer, who transformed the USMC venue on Sunday morning, with an enchanting performance of oldstyle yodeling. “The whole event went down a treat.” Event Organiser Mal Norton — the legendary disability support pensioner who funds the event out of his own pocket — enthused. “I think it was the best festival we ever had,” he said as hundreds of people attended each day. “I’m still on a high,” he told the Narromine Star days after the event, which he dedicates to his late father — the musician John Norton, renowned throughout the region for his uncanny Slim Dusty-like singing style. “When you put that much talent in one room together,

and they are all there for you, and we have a terrific audience, and it’s all in keeping my Dad’s dream alive, I couldn’t ask for anything more.” The event, held in Narromine for the third time over
the Long Weekend, featured musicians from the central coast, Victoria, and Tasmania, including Gina Timms, Gayle O’Neill, Rob Breeze, and Lance Birrell, who has been the lead guitarist for Troy
Cassar-Daley. Justin Landers also performed, telling the Narromine Star he played a few original numbers, including in typical folk style, a song: “about a girl who I thought was my girl-

friend, but she wasn’t.” “It was a girl I went to school with. She was a hairdresser, and I was a guy f lippin’ burgers across the street,”he explained. “I asked her out one night, and she said ‘yes’; then we might go down to the pub, I thought we were going on a date, but she brought her boyfriend along. It was very uncomfortable when we saw each other in the street the next day.” “That song is called ‘How about this Weather?’ because what else do you talk about when something like that happens — all we could talk about the next day, was the weather.” Bass guitarist Shane Saffy, told the Narromine Star, the weekend was “awesome” with “great crowds every night.” He described Narromine as “friendly” and said that the event: “was getting bigger every year.” Asked what the highlight was, he said it was “an 85-year-old woman yodeling this morning”. He was referring to Victoria’s Floreena Forbes, a community radio presenter who travelled all the way from Bendigo for the show. Continued page 3

THERE is an increasing number of scam posts in local Facebook groups. Groups such as the Trangie Community Noticeboard, Narromine Community Crime Watch, and Narromine Thumbs up! Thumbs Down! have had a recent upsurge in the number of scam advertisers trying to lure people to give them money. Local journalist, Sharon Bonthuys, has been tracking the scammers and trying to warn people to stay vigilant. “The big ones are private accommodation and ‘moving sales’, although I haven’t seen the latter for a while,” she told the Narromine Star. “People have been caught with the accommodation issue — it’s so important to call the scams out in the current climate, where people are battling
it out for rentals. I think it also makes it hard for legitimate private rentals to be advertised,” she added. A spokesperson from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) told the Narromine Star that the Commission is aware of the growing problem of scam ads on social media. “In 2022, there was a 47.9 per cent increase in reports of classified and online shopping scams via social media (5313 reports) when compared to 2021, and losses increased by 42.7 per cent to $2.95m”. It said it had set-up a program called “Scamwatch” to help prevent the practice. The spokesperson advised: “Watch-out for websites or sellers advertising at very low prices, often lower than comparable or identical items on
other websites. “Slow down and consider whether a sale is too good to be true; this applies to high-end, designer, or luxury items listed for sale”. Also, they said, keep your purse nice and close, throughout any transactions. “Many people report losing money after communicating with the scammer over email to discuss a purchase on a digital marketplace. “Always conduct your transaction through a secure platform such as PayPal or Apple/Google Pay. “Scammers often ask you to pay by non-secure payment methods such as wire, bank or international funds transfers, money orders, pre-loaded gift cards, and cryptocurrency. It’s rare to recover money sent this way.” the spokesperson said.
The ACCC says that if you are scammed, you should contact your bank or fi nancial institution as soon as possible and then contact the platform on which you were scammed. Ms Bonthuys said she had noticed a number of other characteristics of scammers operating on our platforms. “There are a lot of big red flags — posts have commenting turned-ff, directing you to an email address usually. No phone numbers”. “I call them out now. I investigate the profile and, if it looks fishy, I report the post to group admins — hoping they see it and take action. Lots of admins are voluntary, though, and must be exhausted dealing with things like this,” she concluded.
Police onto multiple vehicle thefts from local properties By LUKE WILLIAMS Local Orana Mid-Western police district, are appealing for information regarding three separate ATV and quad bike thefts — two of them in Narromine. The fi rst theft occurred on Tuesday, May 9 from a property on Old Dubbo Road, Dubbo. During the theft, a CF Moto u Force 800cc side-by-side buggy was stolen. The second theft occurred somewhere between Monday, Tuesday, May 29–30, when a red Polaris Ranger XP900 ATV was stolen from a property on Old Backwater at Narromine. Another theft occurred between Tuesday, Wednesday, June 6–7, with a red Yamaha Grizzly 700FI stolen from a property on Baradine Road. The Rural Crime Prevention Team (RCPT) encouraged anyone with information regarding whereabouts of the stolen ATVs, or who may have been offered to buy these ATVs. People have been asked to contact Investigators Jonathon Hopkins or Michael Barton at Dubbo Police Station on 6883 1599, or contact crime stoppers on 1800 333 000 Following these thefts the RCPT is encouraging landholders take keys for such vehicles or other pieces of farm equipment out of the ignition and to lock them in secure sheds wherever possible.

“Hats off to Mal”; big numbers, smiles, at “Dusty Boots” country music fest
PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
From page 1 Lead guitarist Greg Franks, who comes from the Hunter Valley, stayed in Narromine over the weekend. “Country music is all about the people who turn-up, and the people who turned-up made this a great festival,” he said. “There’s always a back-story to a country music song. There’s always something to do with it. It’s often about heartache and cheating and things not going
right,”he said. I guess people in rural and remote areas, can really relate to much of this. People respond to it very well, because it’s about the struggles in life. So for this festival to run during these tough times, it’s big hats off to Mal, who runs it”. And on that note, Mr Norton promised the festival would be back in Narromine again next year.

Resources forum gets look at Tomingley Mine
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.
By LUKE WILLIAMS REGIONAL Development Orana has showcased Tomingley Mine to “thought leaders”, industry experts, business leaders, and representatives from all levels of government from around the State, as part of a major event held in Dubbo in early June. The Resources, Energy, and Innovation Forum (REIIF) was organised with a partnership between Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana and the Association of Mining & Energy Related Councils NSW (MERC). The four-day forum brought together a delegation on this
year’s key theme of: “towards a zero emissions future.” On its second last day, 66 members of the 100-strong delegation took a bus field trip to Tomingley. Two-thirds of those visitors were from outside the Dubbo and Narromine regions. “We had one of the Tomingley site geologists on the bus talking to us about the intention of the life of the mine as well as the intentions around the road re-locations, but then the other thing we did was go to the Peak Hill platform — which a lot of people didn’t know existed” explained CEO of RDA Orana, Megan Dixon said.
“From our perspective, we wanted to build confidence in the region and also showcase some of the projects and some of the smarts we have in our region with some of the new technologies we are trialing.” Mine representatives told the visitors how Alkane is extending mining operations at Tomingley to the San Antonio and Roswell (SAR) resources immediately south of the current mine. This $30 million-plus project, involves the development of an underground mine at Roswell and one large open cut. Mine representatives also outlined the construction of a new Newell Highway sec-

tion and realignment of Kyalite Road “The goal was to showcase the region, but also create linkages - allowing different organisation and industries to collaborate and sparking important decision-making,” Ms Dixon told the Narromine Star. She said the feedback they received from visitors was “overwhelmingly positive.” “The geologist from Tomingley was a fantastic speaker. He was very passionate and well-informed. This left such a good impression with participants. “It was also about trying to get a shared understanding
between government and industry so they can understand each other’s needs. The other part, is a hope that businesses who attended could collaborate and fi nd new ways to work together,” she added. Mine representatives also told the participants were about an exciting new technology used at the mine called ambient noise tomography. Ambient noise tomography is a way to get a subsurface image using an ambient noise source. Its application to mineral exploration is very novel, and this puts the Tomingley mine at the cutting edge of this technological advance.

By LUKE WILLIAMS KEEPING it all in the family, all six of the local Chase gang, recently shaved their heads to raise $15,000 for a very good cause. Trangie couple, Steve and Amity Chase, and their four children, Harry, Fergus, Toby, and Paddy, all had their heads shaved last weekend to raise money for the Western Cancer Centre Foundation (WCCF) Steve Chase revealed to the Narromine Star: “It was my wife’s idea; she hadn’t had a haircut in a couple of years. “Her hair was getting long, and initially we thought she
might donate the hair, for ‘Wigs for Cancer’,” he added. His family’s commitment, he added, came from a very personal quarter. “We had a friend, Austin Steer, die of bowel cancer a couple of years, and it was just before the Western Cancer Centre Foundation got going. “So then we thought of shaving her head, and apparently, why don’t we just all do it? To raise for the Western Cancer Foundation,” he said The event, he said, was all good fun. “They actually just shaved the cancer logo into my head, saying ‘I love Dex-
ters’ at the back,” Steve revealed; a sarcastic reference to a breed of cow he doesn’t particularly like. The big shave took place in front of a crowd gathered for the Central West Working Horse Association’s Team Penning event in Geurie. So far, they have raised $12,000. “We expect to raise at least $15,000, maybe even $16,000,” he said — with all of it going to WCCF,” Steve added. The experiences of their own friend, he added, showed the importance of the new facility “When our friend died, it was just being built, so he
didn’t get to use it”. “I would suggest everyone who lives out here will be using it in one or another at some stage,” Steve explained. He said he wanted to make sure his children fully-understood what the shave was all about. “They all knew Austin. They knew what he went through. We told them, ‘We are doing this for Austin’. “I mean, I don’t think they will fully-understand the gravity of what they have achieved, but they will at some stage”. He said Austin’s death left its mark on him. “I’ve never really dealt with
stuff before, and I’m 46,” he told the Narromine Star.
“He was not very old — 53 — but he looked so unwell and gaunt,” he said of his friend’s last 12 months.
He says he is still coming to terms with it. In the meantime, he jokes he is dealing with a new type of problem — having no hair,
“I keep forgetting to wear a cap. It’s been freezing”.
The Chases have set up a gofundme page for their fundraiser, which is still open for donations.

Information days to help Church readers, leaders, find “the Call”
By LUKE WILLIAMS
NARROMINE’S Anglican Church has held two successful information days recently aiming to build confidence and get more people coming to church. The aim was also to encourage those already attending, to get more involved in Christianity as churches across the region battle to attract and support full-time ministers and priests. Narromine’s Anglican Church has not had a fulltime minister in three years. In the diocese that ranges between West Wyalong, Cobar, Bourke, and Coonabarabran, 12 of the 28 parishes are without ministers. Father Brian Schmalkuche is one such part-timer, working at the Narromine parish three days per fortnight. “The numbers have trebled since I started here in Narromine,” Father Schmalkuche told the Narromine Star of his well-attended sermons, which attract anywhere between 25– 55 people each Sunday. “I’m hoping to show the re-
gional bishop that, if they had a full-time person here, they would be well supported.” “There’s a lack of priests, not just in the Anglican church but in all churches,” he added. The Narromine parish recently tried to get those attending more engaged with two full-day sessions designed to: “better equip the readers and leaders of the church in the scripture’s teachings”. A total of 18 attended the information sessions called “Living Word Part One,” and 14 attended “Living Word Part Two.” “I got people to get up and read and re-read the scripture. To read and re-read their liturgy,” Fr Schmalkuche said. “It really boosted people’s confidence. Over the weekend, I got people (as part of the information days) to pick their favorite piece out of the bible and read it out to the group. It just blew me away,” he enthused. He said the event was a way of building confidence in those who are already church-goers. “We saw a great bonding of a group of very committed
Christians,” he said. “ And all the passages had something to do with the love of God. The next time they go to the lectern, they will have so much more confidence.” Fr Schmalkuche also talked about his own faith journey, saying that Christianity has been his whole life since he was 12. He aid he always wanted to be a priest, but went through life: “without ever feeling that he got the call.” Instead, he worked as a minister, where he read at church and taught at Sunday school. “I was at a parish weekend when the rector of the Parkes parish called me over, and said: ‘the Lord has just laid it on my heart, that you need to be thinking and praying about becoming a priest in God’s church. I was 57.” So after over 35 years of working as a lay minister, Fr Schmalkuche completed several theological degrees, then stepped up to become a priest, something he has been doing for the past 14 years. He says he also sometimes goes into Narromine pubs

dressed in vestments, buys a bottle of wine, and fi nds people to discuss the Bible with. “My main walk is with Jesus Christ. He died for us on the Cross so that we may repent of our sins and receive eternal
life, and that’s what I’m here to teach,” Fr Schmalkuche said. I have no plans to retire, but it would be great to see someone step-up and minister to the Narromine parish fulltime,” he concluded.
Trailblazer Faye; Trangie inspired me to help others
Professor Faye McMillan (AM). PHOTO: UTS.
By LUKE WILLIAMS INSPIRATIONS from your early life, can stay with you forever, proud Indigenous woman, Professor Faye McMillan (AM) believes. She recently revealed to the Narromine Star, that the encouragement she had received growing-up and getting her fi rst job in Trangie, was part of the reason for the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia’s (PSA) Faye McMillan Conference Grant. The PSA has just announced the first three recipients of the inaugural grant, named after one of our high-achieving locals. “I won the PSA 2022 Pharmacist of the Year,” Professor McMillan said. “As part of that recognition, was a $5000 monetary award
that you could use to put toward conferences or whatever you see fit,” she said. “I’d asked if I could use that, to create an opportunity for other First Nations pharmacists to attend the PSA conference in Sydney in July; the PSA said they would like to do that, and continue that ongoing.” Inspired and supported by Prof McMillan herself, the grant is to be awarded each year to an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pharmacist to attend Australia’s leading pharmacist education conference hosted by PSA. McMillan was part of a panel that picked the successful applicants. “We worked-out $5000 would cover three people,” she said. “One of them has completed all her university studies and is still an intern,” she added. Her success, she said, led her to consider her own personal experiences that so helped form her life, she explained. “I guess, this gave me a chance to reflect on my own journey, as I started off as a dispensary assistant in Trangie. “I think it’s a good thing to recognise early career opportunities,” she said, saying of the other two grant recipients: “One of the others works in a hospital, and the other does a blend of academic and community work”.
This year’s award recipients THE three conferees for the inaugural grants, are Alexander Burke, Kitty Natty, and Scott Bates. Prof McMillan is herself a Wiradjuri woman, originally from Trangie, and a dedicated community pharmacist who has been recognised as the fi rst Indigenous Australian to hold a pharmacy degree in this country. She is also a founding member and past-chair of Indigenous Allied Health Australia and currently one of two Deputy National Rural Health Commissioners, a board member of The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC), and the chair of the APC Indigenous health strategy group. She has received numerous accolades for her leadership and contribution to population health, education, equity, and the community. In 2019, she was named the NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year; in 2022 & 2017, she was recognised in the ‘Who’s Who of Australian Women’; and in 2014, she was included in the Australian Financial Review’s 100 Women of Influence. In 2021 Professor McMillan was appointed as a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, acknowledging her significant service to Indigenous mental health and tertiary education. For all her achievements, she says she still calls Trangie home. “Even though I no longer live there, it’s still where my fami-
ly connection is,” she said. “Growing-up as a Wiradjuri woman, we knew we belonged in Trangie.” Life in a country town, taught her many important lessons, she adds. “So for me, I found Trangie a wonderful place to grow-up. Life isn’t always roses, but we knew we were loved, and we had the opportunity to go out and do what children are meant to do, which is go out and take our own risks and grow and develop. “I loved it. The family made it a place I belonged. It was always a place where I saw my family happy,” she explained. A job in her early twenties, she adds, made an impact on her life, that continues to this day. “I was about 21 when I started working in the Trangie pharmacy, and I did that until I started Uni several years later. I loved the job,” she told the Narromine Star. “You got an insight into people’s lives. It really was a wonderful job”. After many years of working as a dispensary assistant, she one day broached a conversation with the pharmacist, Peter Dixon, about what it would take to become a pharmacist herself. “He really encouraged me, and that led me to where I am today. “Which is being able to say, I’ve had wonderful people support me along the way, and if I can support someone else, it’s a joy,” she said. She said, that when first qualified, she resented be-
ing singled-out as something unique. “When I fi rst became a pharmacist, I used to become really upset when people would call me an ‘Aboriginal pharmacist’. “I would say, ‘I am a pharmacist who is Aboriginal, but I’m not an Aboriginal pharmacist’; I’ve done exactly the same qualifications as everyone else; you don’t call someone a ‘Catholic pharmacist’,” she explains. Her identity, she adds, is far more important than her qualifications, she adds. “That said, I could walkaway from being a pharmacist tomorrow, but I don’t stop being Wiradjuri; so it really is a duality. “So, when I’m recognised as the fi rst Aboriginal person in Australia to hold a Western pharmacy degree, I really do make a distinction that it is ‘Western’. “First Nations people around the globe, have always understood what medicines and pharmacology were around them in their environment. They knew how to harness it”. Of the award, she said that it is a way of lending a helping hand to others. “I know that fi nancial impositions can be a deterrent from attending these things. “So I was hoping that by making it available, it would make others think that they could go, and I just wanted to give back. “I have had some wonderful opportunities presented to me, and it all started in Trangie.”

Medicare coverage dips in the Narromine Shire By LUKE WILLIAMS NEW data has shown a sudden drop in Medicare-funded coverage of medical services in Narromine. The newly-released Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), Medicare Benefits Scheme funded services: monthly data and Medicare Benefits Scheme funded services over time, indicates that there has been a recent drop in Medicare-subsidised services in Narromine Shire. The percentage of GP provider fees paid by Medicare in the Narromine Shire has remained steady at around 95 per cent over a 30-year period but, in February, it began to dip. As of April this year, it now sits at only 88 per cent — however, this is still higher than the State and national average. The percentage of medical
specialist provider fees paid by Medicare sits at 56 per cent last month; the lowest in close to 40 years. In 1984 when Medicare was fi rst established, the rate paid was 84 per cent in Narromine, and it has gone down steadily since. Over the past 20 years, the average sat in the mid-60s. The percentage of surgical operations costs covered by Medicare in Shire Narromine is 67 per cent; higher than the 20-year average, but down from mid-1980’s peaks which it sat in the high 80s. “Since the Medical Benefits Scheme was established in 1984, it has undergone many changes,” AIHW spokesperson Dr Adrian Webster (PhD) said. “For example, the number of services eligible for funding through the MBS has substantially increased from 2300 in 1984, to 6000 in 2023,” he added.
“‘However, across LGAs, remoteness and socioeconomic areas, we have seen consistent differences in the subsidy rates and service utilisation over time.” For example, he said, these data show that people living in more remote areas, have tended to use fewer MBS-funded services, but have a higher subsidy rate compared to those in more urban areas. Chief Executive of National Rural Health Alliance, Susanne Tegen, told the Narromine Star that part of the reason for the recent reduction in Medicare coverage, is a doctor shortage. “Rural, remote, and regional Australia, has had doctor, nurse, and allied health staffing issues, and it has been getting worse and worse,” she said. “There is an expectation from the community, and from
governments, for people to bulk-bill, and yet you can’t run a business with bulk-billing. We know of some medical centres in rural and remote Australia, who are doing fund-raising drives and asking for philanthropic help, to ensure they can bulk-bill,” Ms Tegen added. She said that, from the scheme’s earliest inception, Government only ever intended to cover up to three-quarters of all Medicare services, with the gap to be paid by the patient. “Bulk-billing doesn’t cover what it costs to employ people and run a clinic,” she said, describing the rural and remote health situation as a: “failed market.” Ms Tegen said governments could be doing more to ensure medical services remain cheap and accessible in rural and remote Australia.
“We need to create incentives to recruit rural and remote students,” she said.
“Then, we need to do more to support those people who are on the ground in order to retain them.”
The AIHW data did show Medicare rebates for allied health services, and diagnostic imaging remained steady.
In last month’s Federal Budget, money has been provided so that more Australians will be able to receive better access to free GP visits under a $3.5 billion budget measure that will triple the fi nancial reward for doctors who don’t charge their most-vulnerable patients any out-of-pocket costs.
GPs in rural areas will now receive a $39.65 per patient bonus, if they bulk-bill,under the plan.
EPA sends letters to local farmers advising on spray-drift By LUKE WILLIAMS MORE than 30 local farmers have been issued letters about spray-drift awareness, following local concerns over what many believe is an increasing problem. The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) issued the advisory notes to local landholders in Narromine and Warren district, reminding them of their obligations to prevent pesticide mis-use. This followed EPA officers visiting properties in the two local government areas in March to conduct what it described as: “a targeted education and compliance campaign aimed at reducing incidents of spray-drift”. The visits came after senior EPA representatives met with members of the “Stop Off-Target Spraying” group, the “Community Overspray Group”, and other concerned community members in Narromine, who claim that her-
bicide drift in the Shire, is getting noticeably worse, with support for their concerns, also coming form an unlikely source. Macquarie Valley representative from Cotton Australia, Craig Chandler, recently told the Narromine Star, that he agreed that the problem with spray-drift has been particularly severe this year “The EPA is committed to reducing the number of spraydrift incidents occurring using a range of approaches including compliance, monitoring, and education,” an EPA spokesperson told the Narromine Star. Despite reports of increasing spray-drift, however, newly-released results from the EPA pilot program into pesticide use conducted in 2021 in the shire, have given the sample areas the “all-clear”. Samples were collected at sites in Narromine, Trangie, Gilgandra, and Warren for the program.
“The pilot monitoring program was conducted in the Macquarie Valley from February to July 2021, in response to community concerns regarding damage to vegetation including peppercorn and Kurrajong trees,” the EPA said in a statement. “As of May 2023, samples have been collected on four occasions, with no pesticides detected in any samples,” they revealed. The pilot program monitored the presence of pesticides on vegetation, vegetation condition, and the presence of pesticides in the air using bulk deposition sampling, passive air sampling, visual monitoring of vegetation conditions, as well as leaf sampling and analysis. Monitoring also recommenced in March 2023, at sites in the Narromine local government area. “The collection of seasonal data on the prevalence and types of pesticides in the envi-
ronment is needed to support and justify the need for different regulatory approaches,” the EPA said. They added that the: “aim of the program, was to detect pesticides used in these local government areas” and were “not designed to identify specific cases of spray-drift”. Nonetheless, grazier Bruce Maynard from the Lower Macquarie Overspray Group, told the Narromine Star, he did not believe the results of the program were accurate. “These statements are misleading at best; I don’t believe these results are supported by science,” he said emphatically. The EPA also reported back on what it described as a: “slight increase in peppercorn tree canopy loss between May and July 2021 at the Trangie and Gilgandra monitoring sites. Leaf scorch on peppercorn trees was observed at all sites”. It said that while pesticides were detected in each local
government area, with atrazine the most common pesticide detected.
“While slight changes in vegetation conditions were observed during our pilot monitoring program in 2021, it is not possible to link these changes to pesticide overspray,” the EPA spokesperson told the Narromine Star.
“Further studies are needed to understand the impact of spraying activities on non-target vegetation,” the EPA, the spokesperson said, the agency was also now looking at a more-extensive scientific examination of the issue.
“In consultation with the community, experts, and key stakeholders, the EPA is preparing to design a study to further our understanding of pesticides and their potential impacts on communities and the environment,” the spokesperson said.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Community halls RECENTLY I was reminded of just how important community halls are, especially for farming communities. If the nearest neighbours are a long
distance away a gathering place is of special significance, as this is where decisions are made and celebrations are held. These spaces are where communities come together. I was pleased to visit one such hall last Saturday on the eastern side of my electorate where I attended a ‘Long Lunch’ to celebrate 100 years of the Piallaway Winter Feast. It was wonderful to catch up with locals and those with a connection to the Piallaway district in this well-loved community hall, and I know
there are many such spaces right around my electorate. My thanks to those who keep events and spaces like this going, as I know just how vital they are as a focus point for the people in these communities.
Assistance for tertiary students and apprentices WITH many young people in the electorate starting to think about their post-secondary school plans, I thought it was timely to highlight the financial assistance available to people who wish to explore ter-
tiary study through university or an apprenticeship. The costs associated with attending tertiary education in another town or city is often the biggest barrier for students from regional, rural and remote Australia. The former coalition government recognised this and implemented a number of improvements to eligibility criteria to ensure more students from regional Australia could access tertiary education without having to face the financial barrier. A range of assistance is available to students including
Youth Allowance for students and Australian Apprentices, Austudy, ABSTUDY, the Student Start-up Loan, the Tertiary Assistance Payment and the Relocation Scholarship. Eligibility criteria for each of these payments varies, so it is important to contact Services Australia before starting a claim. For more information about fi nancial assistance for tertiary students visit the Services Australia website or other helpful information on tertiary student support can also be found at the study assist website.
Rates and water charges increase By LUKE WILLIAMS NARROMINE water consumption charges will increase between 11.9 per cent for residential users; and 13.6 per cent for non-residential users. “The increase in the water charges, is driven by the increase in the costs to the Council to supply residents with safe and healthy drinking water,” Narromine Shire Council GeneralManager, Jane Redden, told the Narromine Star. “Council is obliged to recover the full-cost of the water supply as, under legislation, these costs cannot be subsi-
dised by rates or any other revenue sources of Council,” she added. In more bad news, general rates will also increase by 3.7 per cent. “This is the maximum increase allowed by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal of NSW for the 2023-24 fi nancial year”, Ms Redden said. “The increase in rates, water, and sewer charges, is significantly less than CPI, which was 7.3 per cent, as of 31 March 2023,” Ms Redden added. The increases, were revealed as part of Council’s
Budget announcements. Council’s Budget for the 2023/24 fi nancial year, provides for a total overall revenue of $33.539 million, with a large portion of the revenue, with 49.5 per cent coming from the Federal and State Governments; and 36 per cent of its revenue from rates, water, sewer, and refuse charges. The total operating expenses of the Council are budgeted at $24.075 million for the 2023/24 fi nancial year. The budgeted net operating surplus for 2023/24 is $565,000, slightly more than the 2022/23 fi nancial year.
“Narromine Shire Council remains in a strong and healthy fi nancial position, and the budget for the 2023/24 financial year, meets the fi nancial sustainability criteria that are required by legislation,” Ms Redden told the Narromine Star. “The expected results will be achieved from budgeted revenue, including Federal and State Government grants, and effective and efficient management of Council’s operations,” she explained. The Council also has some major projects in the pipeline, she said.
“Council will continue to work and deliver on capital works (other major) projects in the Shire. “The following capital expenditure has been included in the budget for upgrades and renewals of Council’s infrastructure network to ensure these infrastructure assets will meet the current and future demands of our communities,” she said, These include: f Roads and stormwater drainage — $13,500m f Water Supply — $1,991m f Sewer Services — $624k f Waste Management — $245k

Dramatic car-chase ends in arrest of three teens
Toomey tells UN; NSW needs better Aboriginal housing
By LUKE WILLIAMS. JUST after 3am on a chilly King’s Birthday morning, light-sleeping Narromine residents awoke to a startling sight — three police cars in pursuit of an SUV ute through the town’s streets. It has now been alleged, that all three males in the white SUV were all under-age, with the driver aged just 15. At around 2.45am on the King’s Birthday, it is claimed that officers were patrolling Dubbo township, when they attempted to stop the white SUV on Alcheringa Street as part of their newly-established Operation Rhino — set-up in April to target property-related crime in Dubbo. When the vehicle failed to stop, police initiated a pursuit. Police then tailed the car throughout Dubbo to Narromine, and as the vehicle began returning to Dubbo, spikes were successfully deployed. The vehicle stopped after entering a rail corridor on Victoria Street, where police located it abandoned and still running. Following a search of the area, three boys were arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station. A 17-year-old boy was charged with stealing a motor vehicle and larceny. A 16-year-old was charged with stealing a motor vehicle, larceny value, goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen, possessing house-breaking implements, and a face blackened/disguised with intent to commit an indictable offence. The other boy, aged 15, was charged with stealing a motor vehicle, larceny value, police pursuit – not stop – driving recklessly, possessing house-breaking implements, and face blackened/disguised with intent to commit an indictable offense. Four other boys were early charged as part of Operation Rhino last weekend including for break and enter, and larceny-related offenses — the youngest was 13. Inquiries under Operation Rhino continue.
By LUKE WILLIAMS THE Aboriginal Land Council Councillor for the Central Region, recently went all the way to America, to tell the United Nations of a shortfall in dedicated Aboriginal social and affordable housing in NSW. Cr Grace Toomey, recently spoke at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, and called for sector reform to improve the capabilities and capacity of the Aboriginal community housing sector. “We need more social and affordable housing for Aboriginal people, and more of it needs to be managed by Aboriginal providers,” Cr Toomey said. “COVID-19 has highlighted the need for more social and affordable housing in our communities,” she added. In a 2021 submission to a Parliamentary Inquiry, the NSW Aboriginal Land Council, told the NSW Legislative Assembly Committee on Community Services that this is an issue that impacts Indigenous people especially. “The social housing shortage in NSW, disproportionately impacts Aboriginal peoples, with lasting impacts of colonization and ongoing disposses-
community, increased opportunity for Aboriginals to manage social housing, and for the Government to invest in housing on the missions and reserves that were set up originally to segregate Aboriginal people and now managed by Aboriginal land councils.
The Community Housing Industry Association however, said that the issue is affecting everyone, adding that there is a shortfall of more than 200,000 social and affordable homes in NSW with 58,000 households on the wait-list for social housing.
To help alleviate the issue, the Federal Government has pledged to build 10,000 more community housing dwellings over the next five years.
Although the NSW Labor Government has not made any specific commitments regarding the number of community housing dwellings it will build; it has committed to increasing social and affordable housing, including piloting a new ‘Build to Rent’ program in regional NSW and mandating a minimum of 30 per cent of social and affordable housing for developments on surplus Government land.
Trangie’s new cotton gin baler, reaps the benefits A NEW state-of-the-art autonomous baling machine was rolled-out at the Trangie’s cotton gin last month — and the results are already promising. Namoi Cotton’s Trangie gin underwent a multi-million dollar upgrade this year, and it’s a been a game-changer for growers, with the site now processing 300 modules every 24 hours. The $2.4 million upgrade features a new fi xed head module feeder and automatic bagger. Namoi Cotton, says the automation will improve safety, efficiency, and the fi nal product itself. Namoi Cotton spokesperson, Sarah Jane, told The Narromine Star that the automatic bagger improves both efficiency and effectiveness. “As the cotton is ginned and it comes

sion exacerbating the divide in education, job security, health, and economic prosperity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples,” the submission said. It said the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) states that: “every person has the right to an adequate standard of living, which includes the right to adequate housing (ICESCR, article 11)” and that “Target 9 of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap highlights the right for Aboriginal peoples to ‘secure appropriate, affordable housing that is aligned with their priorities and needs”. Cr. Toomey told the UN, that any new community housing projects for Aboriginal people, needed to be managed by Aboriginal people. “It strengthens self-determination and brings benefits because Aboriginal people are better are culturally appropriate service delivery,” she said. “We need investment that builds on existing strength,” she added. She said NSW Aboriginal Land Council, called for increased funding for a dedicated supply of social and affordable housing for the Aboriginal
out in that triangle-shape, normally someone would put a cotton bag over it and stable it, this new automatic bagger does all that,” she explianed. So it saves a lot of time and obviously the quality is a lot better,” Ms Jane added. With this automatic machine, bales are now moved along a conveyor belt, weighed, and samples taken, before being bagged and stapled. She added that the fi xed head module feeder runs the cotton modules into the gin, which are then put into new cleaners and driers. “The fixed head module feeder improves the way the cotton is split from the trash and the seeds, so that will also improve the quality because we don’t have a lot of that roughage
in there. “It’s a big win for growers in the region, given that so much is automatic now. I think its really boosted the cleaning of the cotton which really boosts things for the grower,” she said. The upgrades have been planned for some time, she said, to ensure it keeps abreast of current technology. “These projects been in the pipeline for a while. “The upgrade is now close to complete, and they are now looking forward to a really great season,” Ms Jane said. The upgrade should now ensure an estimated 27,000 bales will be processed this season in what was already expected to be a bumper cotton harvest this year.

“Dragons” travel for Kununurra paddle A TOTAL of 17 local dragon boat members recently travelled to Kununurra in northwest Western Australia, to take a 55km paddle down the Ord River. Up at daylight, the paddlers were bussed to the starting point, that also included six dragon boats with fit dragon-boaters participating. It was a long, hot, and challenging paddle, but they completed the 55km journey in one day. Farmers, accountants, retirees, business owners, and also nurses from Trangie, Narromine, and Dubbo, were all in for the journey; a great experience for everyone.
More than a dozen local dragon-boaters, experienced a wonderful journey down the Ord River in north-west Western Australia on a 55km paddle. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

NARROMINE BOWLING CLUB
A fitting farewell for Stevie! IT was a pretty quiet week up at the ‘Bowly’, with just the one outing for our social bowls players. Rain on Thursday, although welcomed by local farmers, also put a dampener on our afternoon bowls schedule. The same couldn’t be said about Sunday, which was a crisp winter morning that got better as the day rolled on. Clifton Harris, Bruce Powyer, and Bill Wilkie proved to be the best-performed team on the day, and thus got all the chocolates on offer. Gub Thorne Day has been set down for August and again the nomination sheet will be found on the club’s noticeboard with all the relevant conditions of play, costs, and more. To date, numbers are looking good, but there’s always room for you and your team. Steve Buttsworth, is retiring in early July, and to help send him off in style, the club will be having an appreciation bowls, luncheon, and presentation morning to honour and recognise his service to Narromine Bowling Club. A nomination sheet has been posted on the noticeboard and all are welcome to join in celebrating his remarkable achievement. So, to help with catering, please put your name and numbers on the sheet so we can ensure there is plenty of tucker. There are a few things happening around the club, with nomination sheets for the B Grade Singles, the Consistency Singles, and Men’s Pennants, fi nding their way to the noticeboard. So, if you’re eligible or have an inkling to be part of any or all of these events, I suggest you don’t delay a trip to the noticeboard to plonk your name down. Well that’s it for me this week, a pretty quiet week, but no doubt still plenty of action coming up at the Bowly, hope you can be part of it. And fi nally apologies to all those Rabbitoh fans out there, you were unlucky the Dragons decided to have a go for only the second or third time this year, wouldn’t want the match to go another 10 minutes, it would have been a very different scoreline, the way the “Rabbitohs” steamed home!

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES FINISHING fast down the outside, Goulburn galloper, Cartography swept past more fancied rivals to win the 1400 metres Coradgery Cup on Saturday at Parkes. The favourites, Epaullo Creed and Neidr Dawn, looked set to fight-out the fi nish, until the Greg Stephens-trained $21 outsider Cartograthy, ridden by Nick Heywood, emerged on the scene to win by a half-head from Argyll Gardens (Anaelle Gangotena at $5.50) with a half-length to third-placed Neidr Dawn (Will Stanley on the $3.50 favourite). Locals among the very big crowd, also cheered home the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes-trained Shotgun Sophie in the opening event, the 800-metres Railway Hotel Maiden Plate. Jumping from the outside barrier, Shotgun Sophie (Andrew Banks at $13) raced outside the leader, before edging past Shaala Magic (Kayla Nisbet at $3.60) to prevail by a half-head with Sing And Dance (Jayden Barrie on the $3.50 favourite) a handy third. First-up for Dubbo trainer Brett Robb, after racing in Victoria, Writtenbyalady, proved costly to bookmakers when winning the 1200-metres Agriwest Maiden Handicap.
Coradgery Cup, Saturday June 10, Parkes Carrying several big bets, Writtenbyalady (Jake Barrett (from $2.60 to the $1.70 favourite) raced in second place to the home turn, then shot away to win by four lengths from Vivalicious (Hollie Hull at $15) and the leader, Asteria Star (Richard Bensley at $26). Northern Conqueror and Jin Chi Phantom, led for home in the 1200-metres McPherson Parts & Services Benchmark 50 Handicap, before the Doug Gorrel, Canberra-trained Sestina (Anaelle Gangotena on the $2.60 favourite) took control to win convincingly from Magic Stratagems (Coriah Keating at $21) and Japingka (James Rogers). A last start winner at Moree Picnics, the Natalie Pearce, Dubbo-trained Leviticon (Wendy Peel at $11) made it successive wins when it ran down Love Rat (Jayden Barrie at $4.20) in the fi nal stages to score by a neck with Cuevas (Andrew Banks at $8) third in the 1000-metres Telescope Tyres & Hankook Tyres Class One Handicap.

GERRIES GOLF NOTES
Weekly Winner is Bob Richardson Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Wednesday, a typical Winter field of nine hardy golfers turned-up for the weekly Gerries nine-hole competition. Winner on the day, was Bob Richardson with a great score of 29 points; “Richo” has shown a complete form-reversal, as it will be recalled, that he was the winner of the NAGA prize the previous week! Obviously, the handicapper treated him well(!), and this week he came in with a very good score. Well done, Bob! Only two points behind on 27, was Greg Kearines who also put in an improved score. No doubt the handicapper will have fun adjusting the new handicaps for these two winners! Chris Harding won the NAGA prize on the day with a score of 17 points. The handicapper has already reviewed his score, and awarded him two shots back. “Boof “ Fraser won the Nearest-the-Pin Competition, after someone had forged the result on the marker. Well done “Boof”, bad luck “Maso”! Once again, insufficient players for the weekly Pool Comp. The usual Gerries comp was played on Wednesday, June 14, with results to appear in next week’s edition of The Star. Players are reminded that the Gerries play each Wednesday with the hit of at 2.30pm. See you at the 19th!
nine-horse field with Red Beryl settling-in at the tail. Patrick May (Will Stanley at $5.50) hit the front over the closing stages, before Kelsey Lenton drove Red Beryl (at $6) through a narrow gap on the rails to win the Cup by a short half-head with a half-length to the third placed, Tandem (Madeline Owen at $13). Apprentice Ronald Simpson followed a treble at Bathurst and a double at Dubbo, with a treble at Gulgong to complete a big week for the young rider. There were 12 bookmakers operating at the non-TAB Gulgong meeting, and some offered $101 about Simpson’s mount Shadow Shot in the opening event, the 1400-metres Michael Gilham Memorial Maiden Handicap. Several bets of $2000 to $20 were recorded, however, the Brett Thompson, Gulgong-trained Shadow Shot eventually started at only $18. Lumin (Jake Barrett on the $2 favourite) held a good lead in the straight, but was overhauled and beaten almost a length by Shadow Shot which came from last early, while Jaxon’s Day (Andrew Banks at $5) fi nished fast from the tail of the field for third. Second leg of the Ronald Simpson treble, was Dawn County in the 1200-metres Craigmoor Wines Cup Class 2 Handicap. First-up since coming from Victoria to the Kieren Hazelton stable at Gilgandra, Dawn County (at $3.40) was given a
charmed run behind the leaders, before taking a rails run to win by two lengths from Searchlight (Shayleigh Ingelse on the $2.80 favourite) and Miss Adrenalin (Jayden Barrie at $7). Completing another big day for Simpson, the Garry Lunn, Dubbo-trained Weave That Web (at $5.50) tracked the leaders Beg Me and Dream Lad then took control in the straight for a one and three-quarters length win over Prince Of Tokyo (Daniel Northey at $12) and Fiveash (Ashleigh Stanley at $8) in the 1800-metres Benchmark 58 Handicap. Local trainer Brett Thompson, after his win with Shadow Shot, brought up a double when Dysnomia (Chelsea Ings at $21) led throughout to beat Ice On Fire (Will Stanley at $5) and Sniper Excels (Shayleigh Ingelse at $5) in the 1000-metres Benchmark 50 Handicap. Transferred to Bathurst, trainer Roy McCabe, after two unplaced runs with Savvy Statement ( Ashleigh Stanley at $7) travelled fourth and then fi nished best to win the 1000-metres George Ford Memorial Maiden Plate by nearly two lengths from London Tycoon, (the $2.50 favourite) and Cheerful Union (Chelsea Ings at $8).
Bonanza bets for apprentice Ronald Simpson followers FOLLOWERS of Ronald Simp-
son would have enjoyed a bonanza week, when the talented apprentice rode eight winners over three meetings at Bathurst, Dubbo, and Gulgong, with several rides at very big odds. Formerly from Brewarrina and now apprenticed to Clint Lundholm at Dubbo, Simpson kicked-off with a treble at Bathurst on Tuesday, June 6 on Buster Fontein (at $20), Kora Magic (at $4.40); and on Electric Storm (at $51). Next meet was Dubbo Friday, June 9, with a double on Starlink (at $3.30) and The Mediator (at $11); followed by Gulgong on Sunday, June 11th, with a treble on Shadow Shot (at $18), Dawn County (at $3.40), and Weave That Web (at $5.50). At the Gulgong non-TAB community meeting, 12 bookmakers operated and some offered 100/1 about Simpson’s mount, Shadow Shot, in the opening event and, after several bets of $2000 to $20 were recorded, the official starting price was $18. The day before Gulgong, Simpson also had his fi rst metropolitan ride at Royal Randwick, on the Clint Lundholm-trained Smooth Esprit (at $41) and impressed as he weaved through the big field from near last to fi nish fi fth, a length behind the winner, Cliff House. His fi nal ride tally for the week, was 19 rides for eight winners, two seconds, two thirds, and seven unplaced.

First-ever Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup blockbuster IN a history-making match, the first-ever defence of the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup, will take place at Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval this Saturday. The match will have the “Swannettes” lining-up against the Narromine Jets in what should be an outstanding game of League Tag. If the Skinner Cup is not a big enough incentive to win the game, though,one can also throw in the fact, that the victorious team will secure the outright lead on the competition ladder. Currently both sides sit on 18 competition points and are on top of the competition table undefeated. It all adds up to what should be an exhilarating game of League Tag that deservedly will attract wide interest and a big viewing audience. The Christie and Hood Castlereagh League First Grade Round Six clash between the Swans and the Jets, also shapes as a compelling fi xture, with the host side being notoriously tough at home. They are also out to arrest a two-game losing streak, having gone down to Cobar and Baradine in their last two matches, with both those matches being played away from Robertson Oval. They will be up against a Jet’s outfit that is nicely positioned on the competition ladder, although it can be argued that, not even the most oneeyed Jet supporter, would deny that they were very fortunate to secure a win against the Gilgandra Panthers in Round Five! After a slow start to the season, the Panthers’ performance against the Jets would suggest that they have plenty
In another exciting development for the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, eight of the nine clubs have nominated teams for a reserve grade competition that will commence in a few weeks’ time. Those clubs are Cobar, Coonabarabran, Binnaway, Baradine, Dunedoo, Gulgong, Gilgandra and Narromine! This follows-on from the great success of the inaugural Castlereagh League Reserve Grade Competition last year, an innovation that created huge interest. If but nothing else, it shows that rugby league in the Castlereagh League area, is far from dead!

to offer on the playing field, and perhaps the controversial loss in that game will give them motivation to get back into the winning side of the ledger. They will be hosting their arch-rivals, the Coonamble Bears, with the Bears coming-off the bye after recording their fi rst win, that being over the Binnaway Bombshells the
week before in Round Four. The Bombshells and the Baradine Magpies will also clash at The Crater and this could well go down to the wire and be the most entertaining game of the round with both teams possessing an abundance of youth and enthusiasm. The fi nal game, sees the Coonabarabran at home to the Gulgong with the Unicorns
setting themselves the task of being the fi rst team to lower the Terriers’ colours this year. The Cobar Roosters will have the bye, but their Youth League team will be travelling to Binnaway on Sunday to take on the Bombshells in a semi-final of the Youth League competition, with that game kicking-off at The Crater at 1pm.
