Local coin collection on display at library By EMILY MIDDLETON THE historic hobby of coin collecting may have had a steady decline since the introduction of digital services. But one Narromine local is hoping to inspire future coin collectors, with his impressive collection on public display. Sebastian Sadgrove has been collecting 10 cent coins for almost 15 years, and his ﬁ nal collection of 38 coins between the years 1966 and 2007, are now on display at the Narromine Shire Library. He said his interest in collecting coins came by chance, when he wandered into a Big W back in 2009. “I found a coin collection book to put the coins into back in 2009, when I was living in Muswellbrook, and I just started collecting from then.”. Mr Sadgrove found interest in the changes in the late Queen Elizabeth’s face, as it aged over time on the coins. He said it fascinated

him, and made him want to continue collecting until the book was complete. “The coins started off with Queen Elizabeth II as a young woman. So she had a very young looking face on the coin,” he said. “So throughout the decades, from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and so on, her face changed, and she started to wear a different crown. That’s the whole idea of coin collecting, to see the evolution. So, I just thought I’d collect it because it fascinates me and I’m curious.” Mr Sadgrove is incredibly proud of his collection, and says he has spent years saving up money to exchange into coins in hopes of ﬁ nding what he needed. He says he is happy to see his collection on display, and that he hopes he can inspire others to get into coin collecting like him. “I like to show everyone, and I would like people to be inspired and as fascinated as I am.”

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW government minister for planning and public spaces, Paul Scully, has announced that recent legislation passed by the government will start addressing the housing crisis. The move comes as the impact of the housing supply shortage and affordability continues to and impacts thousands of people across the state. In the announcement from the NSW government the minister argues that “the former government left us with the biggest housing crisis this state has ever seen, so we’re taking action to get new home builds moving and supporting infrastructure funding.” The NSW government promised to act upon the housing crisis during its election campaign and seems to be moving ahead with their plans before the NSW parliamentary winter break. The announcement comes after the housing and productivity bill was passed on Tuesday night, June 27. In the announcement the

minister said “the reforms aim to address housing supply shortages by dealing with a key bottleneck infrastructure. These reforms lock in infrastructure contributions of up to $700 million each year into the future helping to create great places around new housing. Our infrastructure contribution reforms set up a stronger system with a fair and consistent charge applied across Greater Sydney, Lower Hunter, Central Coast and the Illawarra-Shoalhaven, to help pay for the infrastructure needed to support growing communities. It includes $1 billion over 10 years for grants to local councils for regionally signiﬁcant facilities like sporting complexes and open spaces.” So far, the government hasn’t brought forward plans that specifically target the housing issues faced by rural and remote communities. This bill appears to focus on communities with high levels of housing growth. The purpose of the bill is to make changes to the Environment Assessment and

Planning Act 1979, removing “the ad-hoc Special Infrastructure Contribution system with a new broadbased charge, called the Housing and Productivity Contribution.” Minister Scully took the opportunity to criticise the opposition in the announcement. “After 12 years of inaction on housing and effectively creating our current housing crisis, the Liberals and Nationals cynically voted against these reforms to better connect homes, jobs and infrastructure,” said Minister Scully. The announcement also added that “the Bill passed both Houses [today sic.], despite being opposed by the Liberal and National Parties despite them taking a similar plan to the last election.” Despite this new piece of legalisation, housing will remain a critical issue in every region of the state for a long time to come. It is intended that the new system will come into effect from October 1, 2023.

ITS satellite network has been helping Ukraine fight for its independence; now it’s going to improve connectivity for our distant farmers and bush communities. Telstra announced last week, that it has partnered with Elon Musk’s Starlink, to boost connectivity for regional and remote Australia. The world-fi rst deal will enable Telstra to offer home phone service and Starlink broadband services to Aussies as a bundle offer, as well as local tech support and the option of professional installation. Elon Musk’s Starlink, an alternative to NBN’s Sky Muster, has been offering low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity to Australians since 2021. One of the benefits of LEO satellites, is that they are much closer to earth, allowing them to send and receive signals faster. This makes them a great option for services that need low-latency, like voice and video calls or providing north to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day then becoming light during the afternoon.

backhaul to mobile networks. Residents outside townships and on rural properties, like many regional and remote areas, have no access to NBN or ﬁ xed internet services, relying on satellite internet or mobile internet from Telstra or more recently for Narromine residents Optus — none of which are as fast or affordable as ﬁ xed NBN. Telstra CEO, Vicki Brady, said the Starlink agreement was part of Telstra’s T25 strategy commitment to launch a satellite product with the voice and broadband options being available to consumer and business customers. “Telstra is always looking to invest in new and better connectivity options for our customers,” Ms Brady said. “We know that collaborating with the right partners is one of the best ways to help unlock a digital future, in this case for people in rural and remote Australia looking for an improved voice or broadband service,” she added.

new technology to ensure its reliability, she explained. “Our teams have been out across the country, testing and trialling LEO satellite technology to ensure we understand where it’s the best solution for our consumer and business customers. “What will set our offer apart is the addition of Telstra voice service, a professional install option and the ability to get local help with your setup if needed,” Ms Brady said. The result, will be a better service for everyone operating outside our major population centres, she added. “In addition, this agreement will also provide connectivity options for our business customers in Australia and overseas, as a higher bandwidth business grade option in areas without ﬁ xed and mobile connectivity,” she concluded. Pricing and when the partnership will launch are yet to be announced, but it is expected later in the year. Starlink is a satellite internet constellation designed, owned and operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Young women our AgShows’ role models for Narromine

Meg Horan wants to improve community health. PHOTOS: COPPER.CO PHOTOGRAPHY. AGRICULTURAL shows are one of the great institutions of country life; and, in the old days, the Miss Showgirl quest, was one of the feature events at each and every bush fair. Today, the Narromine AgShows NSW Young Woman competition, aims to ﬁ nd a young woman to act as an ambassador for the Narromine community and the agricultural show movement. This year’s local entrants are Meg Horan, Amity Gordon, Emma Housden, and Katie Powell; with the 2023 local winner to be announced this Saturday at the sold-out Inland Petroleum Narromine Show Ball. By way of passing-on the mantle to the next young role model, the MC for the Ball, will be Maddy Preston – the 2022 Narromine AgShows NSW Young Woman. Sarah Weir, co-coordinator of the Narromine Young Woman Competition, said the competition is open to any young women aged from 18–24 (as at May 1, 2024); with entrants also helping-out the Committee at each Show Day. The Agshows NSW Young Woman competition encourages the participation and subsequent awareness of rural women’s contribution and involvement in both local communities and rural NSW as a whole. In this role, it is important that the entrants have a genuine interest in, and knowledge of, rural NSW. Candidates are all assessed on a range of factors. These are: personality, confidence, ambition and life goals, general knowledge, rural knowledge, presentation, and speech. They also are judged on their knowledge of their local community and current affairs, and their involvement in and experience of ru-

Producers facing both wool and lamb pricing downturn By EMILY MIDDLETON DESPITE recording the longest run of weekly losses since 2003 in the past two months, the Australian wool market is off to a positive start to the 2023/2024 selling season. For eight consecutive weeks, the market recorded only losses, with prices struggling to hold their values at wool auctions. Wool producers JB and Alison Tancred are the managers of GRASS Poll Merinos in Gulargambone, and have said that they’ve been keeping an eye on the market themselves. “We’ve defi nitely been watching it,” said Mr Tancred: “but our main focus is on production, and not prices.” For the Tancreds, they say the real profit driver for themselves is yield rather than prices. According to Quality Wool, the poor market conditions over the past two months, has discouraged many sellers from entering the market. They said that what is normally one of the larger sales of the season: “ended-up being only 36,175 bales, 12,685 bales less than the previous year”. “The market opened with increases across all merino f leece types and descriptions, slowly strengthening as the sale progressed. “Individual micron price guides (MPGs) for merino fleece in Sydney and Melbourne gained 3-44 cents for the fi rst day while in Fremantle, selling last, the in-

creases were larger as western ﬂeece MPGs added 21-49 cents. The AWEX Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) added 14 cents overall for the day,” Mr Tancred added. With the global economic situation, wool prices have been going backwards, but Mr Tancred says that’s not the only commodity that has been suffering. “We are long-term wool growers, but we are also diversiﬁed and we go into merino lambs. It’s certainly a concern, but so is the falling lamb market. “I heard one processor say ‘the world is full of lamb’, so, at the moment it’s pretty tough,” he added. Despite the lamb market being “further down than the wool market”, Mr Tancred says that he tries to focus on a productive animal that gives the stud as much good quality wool and as many good lambs as possible. “We try to focus more on production rather than prices,” he says. “We’re coming into a buying season where lambs are being sold. The next few months could tell the future of the market, he added. “We manage grass merinos, so we sell our rams in September and October; so, I’m interested to see what happens,” Mr Tancred said. “Many people move from a wool-based enterprise to a lambbased enterprise. when the wool market is down or vice versa, but they’re both down so, it’ll be interesting to see what people do,” he concluded.

Commonwealth Bank promises… we’ll keep bush branches open! By HARRIET GILMORE THE Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has this week confi rmed their commitment to the bush — at least for the time-being — extending their promise to keep regional branches open for another three years. In a statement released on Friday, our largest fi nancial institution, promised to maintain banking services and employment in regional Australia by keeping all CBA regional branches open, until at least the end of 2026; a three-year extension on its previous commitment. Unlike the NAB, who recently confi rmed it would be closing its Warren branch in August, the Commonwealth Bank has held-off any such decisions. They added that — although they recognise the way customers bank is changing with more people adopting digital banking services — they will still support customers in regional areas who prefer banking in-branches, and so will maintain their existing face-to-face services in these communities. Residents of regional areas have for decades voiced concerns about continuing branch closures from the big four banks, which has led to a year-long Senate Inquiry. Earlier this year, CBA, Westpac, and ANZ, all committed to pausing

regional bank closures until the Senate Inquiry concluded. The NAB, however, did not and, last month, announced a string of regional bank closures, including at Warren, Gilgandra, Wellington, and Condobolin. CBA Retail Banking Services Group Executive, Angus Sullivan, said that, while the fi nancial world is fast-evolving, there are many who still prefer banking in traditional ways. “We recognise the way people are banking is changing, with more customers adopting the benefits offered by digital and phone-based services. Through this time of change we want to support customers in regional areas who prefer banking in branch and so we will maintain our existing face-to-face services in these communities. This “announcement ensures CBA continues to offer the largest branch network in Australia, providing customers across the country with a wide range of flexible banking options and locations. “We look forward to working closely with regional communities over the next three years to refi ne how we better support and familiarise them with all the CBA banking services available,” Mr Sullivan said.

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo I AM disappointed by the NSW Labor government’s decision to suspend applications for the Regional Seniors Travel Card. The travel card has been a lifeline for our seniors, providing them with the means to visit friends and family, travel for a doctor’s appoint-

and working in regional and remote locations, such as improving connectivity, resolving reception problems, and how to use your home WiFi to enable you to make calls and texts on your mobile phone.

Growing Regions Program ROUND One of the Australian Government’s new Growing Regions Program is now open for applications until next month. The program will provide grants of between $500,000 and $15 million to support capital works projects for community and economic infrastructure across regional, rural, and remote areas. While I encourage eligible ment, or visit the shops to pick up groceries. This heartless move shows a complete lack of empathy and understanding for the challenges faced by our seniors living in regional areas. They are already burdened by limited transportation options, and now the government is taking away their chance to travel and connect with their communities. I urge everyone to sign the petition to help save this important cost-of-living measure!! Go to the Save the Trav-

not-for-proﬁt organisations and local governments to consider applying, please note that many applicants will be required to make a signiﬁcant co-funding contribution towards projects. If this requirement is restrictive, please email me — it is important that the Government is made aware of whether their programs are accessible and practical for our communities. For more details about the process of applying for these grants and eligibility criteria, visit the Department of Infrastructure website.

New Instant Asset Write-off falls short

My First Speech Competition opens

BACK in 2020, I discussed with locals the difference the Instant Asset Write-off would make to their businesses, allowing them to purchase machinery or other assets as a tax write-off. This was a great stimulus for regional economies, feeding into local suppliers and contractors. The new Instant Asset Write-off, is the lowest it has been since 2019, and my concern is that this falls short of providing our regions with what has been a fantastic supporter of productivity, especially for agricultural areas.

TOGETHER with the Speaker of the House Milton Dick (MP), I invite students across the Parkes electorate in Years 10, 11 and 12 to submit an entry to the “My First Speech Competition”. This competition asks students to imagine themselves as a newly-elected “Member of the House of Representatives”. The task is to write and present a 90-second ﬁ rst speech highlighting issues they are passionate about. Three lucky students will be ﬂown to Canberra with a parent or guardian, to present their speeches live and undertake a program of meetings at Parliament House. Entries close next month, please visit the website for more information.

el Card website to sign the petition.

LOCAL fi rst year apprentices facing fi nancial or personal hardship can be supported with a $15,000 Bert Evans Apprentice Scholarship to undertake their trade and study. This scholarship program, for which applications close next week, offers a great incentive for eligible locals to kick-start their career. Whether you need to purchase new tools, cover fuel or car maintenance, or pay for additional study, these scholarships have helped people across our region overcome personal barriers to fi nish their apprenticeships and follow their trade calling.

APPLICATIONS are currently open for the Community War Memorials Fund! The purpose of the fund is to help conserve, repair and protect war memorials across NSW to support community commemoration, by funding projects that follow best practice conservation principles and processes. The grants are targeted at organisations who are responsible for the management of war memorials in NSW. Applications also close next week. Visit the NSW government website to ﬁ nd out more information, and to apply.

IT was fantastic to officially open the upgraded change rooms at Powell Oval recently! These upgrades were made possible thanks to over $122,000 from the previous NSW government’s Female Friendly Sport Facilities and Lighting Upgrades Program. With this upgrade, the Narromine Junior Jets will finally be able to host female competitions, gala days, clinics and trials throughout the year, meaning better opportunities for young women and girls across the Narromine region.

Until next time, Dugald

State government passes bill for housing and productivity By ANDREW TARRY AFFORDABLE housing in NSW has become a prolonged and entrenched issue. It doesn’t matter where you live or perhaps visit within the state, housing is in short supply. The situation has become a crisis as piecemeal solutions and efforts over the last few decades has resulted in serious structural problems with the development and supply of affordable quality housing. The character and nature of the problem varies depending upon many regions in NSW. In rural areas, lack of housing imposes potential population stagnation for communities, decreases in council incomes for services and utilities, and reduced productivity due to fewer workers, businesses, industries. Solutions to the housing supply shortage, particularly social and affordable housing, are becoming increasing scrutinised and debated in almost every space of public life as the NSW government, the media, councils and private companies and organisations become involved in the conversation. One component of this complex and diverse challenge is being brought before the NSW legislative assembly. On Tuesday, June 27 the Environment Planning and Assessment Amendment (Housing and Productivity Contributions) Bill 2023 passed the NSW Legislative Council. It is proposed that the bill will make changes to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). The act is a significant piece of legislation in the NSW government apparatus related to planning and developments within the state. The act covers an extensive range of areas and, among other things, that the “objects of this act are as follows – to promote the social and economic welfare of the community and a better environment by the proper management, development, and conservation of the State’s natural and other resources… to promote the orderly and economic use and development of land, to promote the delivery and maintenance of affordable housing… to promote good design and amenity of the built environment… to promote the sharing of the responsibility for environmental planning and assessment between the different levels of government in the state”. To make changes and amendments to the act requires a comprehensive multistage process. According to a release from the upper house committee which has been responsible for facilitating an inquiry into

the bill, “the bill seeks to introduce a new housing and productivity contribution that would replace the existing special infrastructure contributions scheme. It would also establish a strategic biodiversity contribution fund.” The bill targets section 7.24 of the Act which sets out the parameters and properties of special infrastructure contributions (SICs). SICs were legislated in 2005 in an amendment to EP&A Act. These kinds of subsections which make up a great portion of legislation and are often buried deep within a piece of government law/policy, very rarely surface into the public discourse. The question then is: what are special infrastructure contributions? The NSW government website describes SICs as: “one way the NSW government ensures funding is available for key state and regional infrastructure required to support growing communities, allowing priority infrastructure to be delivered at the same time as development.” “A SIC is paid by developers within a deﬁ ned ‘Special Contributions Area’ to support the cost of infrastructure delivery. This contribution helps to support key infrastructure such as state and regional roads, open space, schools, and health facilities-are are built in growth areas.” The special infrastructure contributions scheme therefore functions as a mechanism which the government can use to ensure that there are funds available to meet the demand placed upon infrastructure which is created by new developments. This is without having to constantly allocate funds out of taxpayer’s money through government budgets. In principle SICs appear to be one of many mechanisms which the state government has at its disposal to deliver consistent investment into infrastructure. However, there have been mounting problems with the special infrastructure contributions scheme. These problems have been acknowledged for a few years with the process to address this issue percolating over successive governments. In 2019 the Productivity Commission was tasked with producing a report on infrastructure contributions. The commission produced the Review of Infrastructure Contributions in NSW. The review is extensive and in comprehensive detail covers the broad topic of “how we determine what infrastructure is needed and how it will be funded.” The review provides a total of 29 recommendations across the different categories of contribution schemes. In one sec-

tion the problems with SICs and the subsequent need to remove the scheme is made apparent. In the fi ndings under the state and regional infrastructure section, the review has the following to say about the SICs scheme: f “The current approach to state and regional infrastructure is not working effectively. Stakeholders have criticised the ad hoc and ‘stop-start’ approach to special infrastructure contributions and the uncertainty this creates for industry and communities. f The lack of an efficient approach to infrastructure cost recovery has caused significant land value uplift around major projects. This tends to reduce the benefits to the state of public investment and is an inequitable transfer of wealth from taxpayers to certain property owners. f The recommended reform direction emphasises an efficient and comprehensive approach to cost recovery through improved state contributions rather than a shift to benefits capture.” The review provides several recommendations to these fi ndings. One key recommendation which was singled out in a statement of public interest in support of the Bill is to replace the existing SIC system with “a new broad-based charge to fund infrastructure and support growth. This charge will help government meet the cost of infrastructure needed to support growing communities and aid housing delivery.” Some of the recommendations are targeted to issues suffered in metropolitan areas, however, there are recommendations related to regional and rural areas in the findings. These argued that “contributions should be deposited into regional funds for infrastructure that supports regional growth. Governance arrangements should be similar to Restart NSW, with Infrastructure NSW prioritising projects in consultation with the Department and Treasury. Introduce an additional transport infrastructure contributions plan for projects that unlock growth.” Within the review is also the recognition that section 7.32 of the EP&A Act allows “authorities to levy contributions for affordable housing.” However, it seems that “the limited uptake of affordable housing schemes by councils suggests the contributions system plays a minor role in affordable housing supply. Moreover, it is not clear that housing is being made more affordable as a result of these schemes, as some stakeholders noted: the crea-

tion of a small quantity of “affordable housing”, may be at the cost of making other housing more expensive.” The review raises the question whether affordable housing should be made separate to the infrastructure contributions schemes. Developing affordable housing for the state through this mechanism has been largely ineffective. There are recommendations for improving accountability for housing contributions however, it is in the priority reforms where the review attempts to tackle the issue with a concerted and dynamic approach. The suggestions for reforms in full are: f “Removing the disincentive for councils to accept development and growth by allowing for the local government rate peg to reflect population growth. f Ensuring charges can be properly factored into feasibility studies by requiring contributions plans be developed prior to rezoning. f Introducing a direct land contribution obligation for landowners following rezoning to provide early and adequate funding for land. f Managing costs and complexity of section 7.11 local contributions plans by using benchmark costs and focusing the role of the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal in reviewing plans. f Removing barriers to construction and improving project feasibility by deferring payment of local contributions to the occupation certificate stage. f Providing a simpler option for councils by increasing the maximum rate of section 7.12 fi xed development consent levies, in certain circumstances. f Limiting the use of state and local planning agreements to direct delivery of works and supporting infrastructure for ‘out-of-sequence’ developments. f Addressing insufficient and ad hoc section 7.24 special infrastructure contributions through implementation of modest and simple broadbased regional charges f Ensuring the beneficiaries of major transport investments contribute to the cost by implementing an additional state contribution for rezoned properties within station service catchments. f Taking pressure off household water bills by transitioning to cost reflective charges for water connections. f Making the system easier to navigate and comply with by providing and maintaining clear and rationalised guidance and comprehensive digital tools.

f Being more transparent in reporting on how much money is collected and where it is spent.”

The review argues that these combined reforms “offer net beneﬁts to the economy of up to $12 billion over 20 years. They will be realised as better services, lower house prices, and savings for business. At a macro level, the reforms are estimated to support an additional 2600 jobs and increase gross state product by more than $600 million each year. They will enable more efficient development and support housing affordability.”

This brings us back to the committee report and the Bill which hopes to bring forward some of the recommendations from the review. Ms Sue Higginson MLC, chair of the Planning and Environment Committee, stated that “the bill empowers the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces to make a ministerial order requiring a housing and productivity contribution from developers which is to be used to fund infrastructure in the same region. Infrastructure is deﬁ ned to include public amenities or public services, roads, transport, affordable housing, and measures to conserve the natural environment. A project must be in a state strategic plan or the State Infrastructure Strategy to receive money from the Housing and Productivity Fund.

Ms Higginson continued: “While stakeholders were generally supportive of the bill, issues were raised about some aspects, including the appropriate time for payment of the housing and productivity contribution. In addition, although stakeholders were pleased to see affordable housing included in the deﬁ nition of regional infrastructure, there is some concern that the NSW government does not currently plan to use the contribution fund to build this essential form of housing.”

Whether affordable housing should remain as part of the contributions scheme as the Bill suggests, albeit with some amendments to the mechanism, or be removed entirely as per the review’s query, will be part of the debate that takes place in the legislative council.

Regardless, the importance of progressing the discussion and potential solutions to the housing supply shortage and affordable housing crisis is becoming increasing salient. The possibility of the situation continuing in its current form is not an appealing one and debates about the problem can’t go on indeﬁnitely.

Director of Catholic Education Wilcannia-Forbes visits local schools

Director of Catholic Education Wilcannia-Forbes, Peggy Saab recently visited St John’s Parish School, Trangie. She is pictured with some of the school’s year six students and principal Sharon Ferrari. PHOTO: CATHOLIC EDUCATION WILCANNIA-FORBES.

Contributed PEGGY Saab, the director of Catholic Education Wilcannia-Forbes, recently completed a comprehensive visit to all 18 primary schools across the diocese. This diocese covers more than 50 per cent of NSW and provides essential educational services to approximately 1700 students and their families in rural and remote regions. During the course of her visits, Mrs Saab has covered thousands of kilometres to visit schools as far as Broken Hill in the west, Brewarrina in the north, Parkes in the east

and Deniliquin in the south. She visited local schools - St Augustine’s Parish School in Narromine and St John’s Parish School, Trangie. At each school, the director had the opportunity to interact with students and gain valuable insights into their experiences. A recurring theme amongst students was the strong sense of community and belonging that their schools provide. Living in small communities, they highlighted the ease of moving around their town, their active participation in local sports and events, and the comforting feeling of being known

within their communities. Catholic Education Wilcannia-Forbes continues to put its students at the centre of every decision that is made and recognises the importance of a holistic approach to support students’ wellbeing and academic growth. By encouraging a sense of belonging and fostering positive relationships, the diocese aims to create an environment where students can ﬂourish and reach their full potential. Mrs Saab commended the expertise and professionalism demonstrated by school principals across Wilcannia-Forbes. She remarked, “After 54

years in the field of education, I can confidently say that the principals in our diocese are among some of the best I have encountered. Their commitment to academic excellence and the holistic development of our students is truly commendable.” Mrs Saab also recognised the critical role that teachers play and the incredible job they do every day to support their students. She acknowledged the passion and expertise of the teachers she encountered and their unwavering commitment to the provision of high quality teaching practices and building posi-

tive classroom environments where students can thrive.

The successful completion of Mrs Saab’s visit to all 18 schools is a testament to her dedication to Catholic education and her commitment to understanding the needs of students and staff throughout the Wilcannia-Forbes Diocese. Her interactions with students have provided valuable insights that will inform future initiatives aimed at enhancing the overall educational experience in the diocese.

Harvest festival to bring community together; the Western Rural Connect

LIFE in the bush can sometimes feel a little lonely; with a new group aimed at bringing people together. Understanding the isolating nature of living and working rurally, the Western Rural Connect is a new organisation formed by young women of varying backgrounds, and based in Western NSW. The organisation’s mission is to encourage and enhance social connections within small and rural communities and industries alike, by creating events and facilitating networking opportunities that bring-together those who live in, work in, and love, Western NSW. Keiley Noble — the current 2023 NSW Rural Ambassador — is the organisation’s founder and president; and has a clear aim in mind for its purpose. Her inspiration came from participating in the Rural Achiever program, when she decided to step-up and do more to create greater connections within her community. She also wanted to aid in building leadership capacity within others and to generate more opportunities for younger professionals to work-together and develop their skills and networks. The Committee now contains professionals from the agriculture, business, health, and ed-

ucation sectors, with ties to the Narromine, Dubbo, Trangie, Tottenham, Tullamore, and Nyngan regions. Their ﬁ rst project is a fun and inventive idea; hosting a traditional post-harvest community celebration at Narromine, as they believe that there are limited opportunities for social connections to organically-form within the town’s agriculture industry. This is because of the tiny nature of most of its agricultural business operators; in which nearly 60 per cent were “non-employing” (sole traders) in the last census, making the published average employment rate per ag business; a mere 1.4 people. The Committee also recognise, that the nature of the work usually done during harvest time is highly-stressful, intensive, and isolating, as only one person sits in a header or tractor cab at a time. This is why at the end of the season, they want people from their communities to come together, connect and celebrate. The group are busy applying for grants to turn their harvest event into a reality. If they are successful in hosting this event, they hope to shine a light on other rural industries in the future.

Sport CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND NINE

Terriers still top dogs! THE long road trip from Gulgong to Cobar to play the reigning premiers on their home ground proved to be not an insurmountable task for the Gulgong Bull Terriers and they still sit alone and undefeated at the top of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition after nine rounds following their 34 to 20 victory. Taking the crow out of the Roosters at Tom Knight Oval is widely acknowledged as one of the more difficult assignments in the Castlereagh League competition but the Terriers came away with an impressive win, scoring six tries to four, with their front rower Blake Gorrie crossing for three of them, to put themselves in a good position to claim the minor premiership with ﬁve rounds remaining. They are on the road again in round 10, this time to Narromine, with not only their unbeaten status on the line, but also the opportunity to claim the Boronia Cup if they can get over the top of the Jets. This will undoubtedly be the match of the round, the importance of which should ensure a big crowd packing into Cale Oval. The two teams last met back in round one with Terriers winning a high scoring game 42 to 32. In the past few weeks Gilgandra supporters have become accustomed to viewing some heart stopping displays, with the Panthers getting home very late by just one point in

each of their two games leading up to the clash with the Dunedoo Swans last Saturday at Dunedoo. The game produced a similar scenario, with an intense fi nish, after the Swans, with a very strong breeze at their backs had rushed out to an early 12 points to nil lead after just nine minutes of play, but by half time the Panthers had replied with three tries and they took a 16 to 12 lead to the sheds at half time with most thinking that their prospects of victory looked promising, given that they would have the assistance of the wind in the second half. A rather strongly worded “address” at half-time in the Dunedoo dressing room seemed to have some effect on the home side and it was only desperate Gilgandra defence that kept them out in the opening exchange of the second stanza. Just five minutes after the break both sides had a player sent off then soon after the Swans scored to lock it up at 16-all. Gilgandra replied in the 15th minute to take a 20 to 16 lead and then the game ebbed and flowed without further scoreboard action until with just one minute remaining in the game a converted try to the Swans sent their home crowd delirious as they took a 22-20 lead. But the Fat Lady was not singing just yet because there was another twist to come in

the game! With a second remaining Gilgandra kick off to restart play and from that restart they were awarded a penalty and it was still game on! The Panthers declined the opportunity to kick for goal to snatch a draw and kicked for touch instead. The fi nish to the game, in what was a tense situation for both camps, came to quite an anticlimactic fi nish when the Panthers tried to move the ball wide from their tap kick only to see the second pass go astray and it was to be the Swans who claimed the all-important win! In other games the Coonabarabran Unicorns registered a strong 46 to 18 win over Binnaway and Baradine downed Coonamble 36 to 28. The wins by those two clubs sets up what should be a classic local derby clash at Baradine this Saturday with much at stake for both clubs as they strive to keep in touch with the top five. Currently both clubs sit on 17 points, two adrift of fifth placed Gilgandra, and whilst the Panthers will get maximum competition points this weekend courtesy of having the bye, a loss by either side will make it all that more difficult to claim a semi-final berth. This weekend will also see the start of the reserve grade competition with seven of the nine clubs having entered teams. Reserve grade games

will be played at Narromine, Cobar and Baradine.

Club Championships on over next two weekends Contributed by NORMAN LEWIS THE Annual Men’s Club Championships will be played over the next two weekends. As a true test of golfing skill; the Championships will be played over 72 holes in total;18 holes being played on each day, Saturday and Sunday, July 15–16, followed by the next Saturday and Sunday July 22–23..Trophies will be awarded to those players with the best scratch and handicap scores over the 72 holes. Last year, the Club Champion was Rob Williams with a total score of 281; one over-par for the four rounds. The B-Grade Champion was Greg Kearines, who recorded a fourround total of 338. It is assumed at this stage that both of these players will be defending their titles. Handicap prizes will also be played in conjunction with the stroke events. All Championship Trophies will be presented to the winners at the An-

nual Presentation night held later in the year. Following the recent rain, the course will be in top condition with thanks extended to Peter Gainsford and his band of volunteers, who will be working tirelessly to prepare the course for this event and other major events listed on the programme. Further details of the Championships, may be obtained by contacting the Club Captain, Alex Sambrook or the Vice-Captain, Mitch Smith. Last weekend, the number of players taking part was down, due, no doubt, to the inclement weather. On Saturday the scheduled comp was a Par event over 18 holes for the Wakeﬁeld Founders Cup with a disappointing ﬁeld of only 13 players. The handicap winner on the day was Brian Masling with a score of +2. The runner-ups prize went to Mitch Smith on +1. There was no winner in the Nearest-the-Pin

event or in the drawn Jackpot prize, however Rob Williams was able to claim the Long Drive prize on the eighth hole. A scratch event was also played in conjunction, and the winner was Rob Williams with Mitch Smith taking the runners-up prize. On Sunday, there were insufﬁcient players for the Stableford event. A number of Narromine players travelled to Warren for their Open tournament, however, no results were available at the time of going to press. The Monthly Medal on Saturday, July 22, is being run in conjunction with the Championship Round. In other events, the Vets’ Nine-Hole is on Saturday, July 29 on the back nine. There is no Junior Clinic, due to the School Holidays. That’s all for this week — good luck to those taking part in the Club Championships — see you at the 19th!

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES MICHAEL Heagney, a long time successful jockey, marked his recent return to race riding after serious injury, with a winning double, Aphrodotti and Boongarra Girl, on Saturday, July 8 at Wellington. Cowra-based Heagney suffered a broken shoulder earlier this year when his mount after winning a barrier trial at Narromine veered to the outside fence. A jockey for close to 40 years and winner of over 1000 rac-

Winning doubles for Heagney and Stanley at Wellington es, Heagney surprised when he revealed his injury was the ﬁ rst serious one during his long career. The comeback winning ride was aboard the Maree Hopkins, Cowra-trained Aphrodotti in the 1400 metres Class Two Handicap. Starting a $31 outsider, Aphrodotti settled midﬁeld before sprinting to the front in the straight and racing to a two lengths win over Wasserman (Nick Heywood, $3.90 equal favourite) and Neidr Dawn (Will Stanley, $5.50). Handy to the lead turning for home, the Gayna Williams, Bathurst-trained Boongarra Girl ($5.50) brought up the Michael Heagney double when beating Luckyimwithaimee (Dylan Stanley, $6) and

Annual Charity Day, as Jets take-on the Terriers at home By MICK BURNS THIS week the Narromine Jets are at home against the unbeaten Gulgong Terriers, in what should be a great match-up with First Grade hoping to name their strongest team this year. Due to a variety of reasons, the Club has previously not been able to have their best side on the paddock, with many players needing to ﬁ ll empty bench spots, with all involved, doing their best to keep the wins on-the-board for the team and the Club. However, this week should give a good indication of where we sit in regards to the best of the competition. As well as this game being a very important one with the First Grade Ladder being so tight at the moment, it is also a chance for the Jets to maintain their hold on the Boronia Cup, which they have retained since late last season. The Ladies League Tag team is also ready for a big game and is determined to cement their spot at the top of the Ladder; the girls currently sit second and, will hopefully, be boosted by a return of a couple of lasses from injury. There has been some exciting footy played by the Ladies this year with some fantastic team tries scored. This week is also the start of the Reserve Grade Competition, which will run for ﬁve weeks and involve seven teams, including the Jets. This week is also the Jets Annual Charity Day, which sees the Ladies League Tag and First Grade wearing specially-designed jerseys that will then be auctioned-off by legendary tout, Tim Wiggins, after the games at the home of the Jets major sponsor, the Narromine USMC. So, make sure you cheer loud and proud at Cale Oval, and then come back to the USMC to enjoy a cool drink and get involved with the auction to raise funds for local charities. This year, the Club will be supporting the Narromine Cancer Support Group, Narromine Rescue Squad, and the naming charity of the day, the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. So get there early, Reserve Grade is starting at midday, with Ladies League Tag and First Grade to follow — hope to see you all there.

Dysnomia (Chelsea Ings, $10) in the 1000 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap. Will Stanley, who is apprenticed to Alison Smith at Orange, also rode a winning double, the ﬁ rst leg being on the Smith trained Almanac in the 1400 metres Maiden Plate. Given a charmed run behind the leader Wandering Cloud, Almanac ($6) eventually won by a short head from Good Kitty (Nick Heywood, $3.60) with Outback Pat (Wendy Peel, $15) in third place. Relishing the heavy track, the Garry Lunn, Dubbo trained Jarmanagic (Will Stanley, $10) swooped on the leaders halfway down the straight and won the 1000 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap by over a length from Scoffa

(Beany Panya, $7) and Hampton Cove (Nick Heywood, $2.50 to $1.90 favourite). Mathew Cahill who was booked to ride Jarmanagic stood down for the race after being involved in an incident when his mount the Garry Lunn-trained Freycinet faltered and fell approaching the home turn in the 1000 metres Class One Handicap. Badly injured in a race fall in April 2022 the highly successful Mathew Cahill only recently returned to race riding and although he walked away unaided from the Wellington fall he took the rest of the day off. Apprentice Jayden Barrie on More Than Luck was unable to avoid the fallen horse and after his fall was taken to Dub-

bo hospital for assessment. The race was won by the Bryan Dixon Jnr, Gilgandra-trained Love Rat ($7.50) which led most of the way to account for Gunner Bill (Richard Bensley, $41) and Savvy Statement (Ashleigh Stanley, $18). Without a win after 16 starts, Sauce Dragon since recently joining the Sharon Jeffries stable at Parkes has ﬁ nished second at Dubbo followed by a win at Wellington in the 1000 metres Maiden Handicap. Holding a slender lead turning for home, Sauce Dragon ($3.90 fav.) held on under strong riding from Andrew Banks to score by a length from Our Little Zoe (Clayton Gallagher, $4.20) and Legris (Will Stanley, $31).

BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS

Change your heart; “Live Like Jesus” HAVE you ever been so angry, that you wanted to hit someone? That’s a common reaction to an unfair situation. When we are treated unfairly, or when someone we love is treated unfairly, we want revenge. Jesus was being treated unfairly. He was being arrested for no reason. Peter forgot that God was in control and “freaked-out”. Jesus didn’t forget. He remained in control of his emotions and left the situation up to God. The next time you want to lash-out at someone, remember that Jesus can give us the power of self-control. (Matthew: 26:50–52). Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord ,how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:21–22 ). People can be frustrating, can’t they? They are always doing things to hurt one another… Sometimes, you might feel like you don’t have any friends at all. Or, sometimes you might feel like you no longer want the friends you have. This is all a normal part of being human. Peter may have thought he was being really generous when he said

he’d consider forgiving someone seven times. Imagine Peter’s surprise — and probably disappointment — when Jesus said it was a lot higher than that! Jesus wants us to forgive others, the way he has forgiven us. There’s just one problem; we’re ﬂawed humans. We can’t possibly be that forgiving, unless we tap into the supernatural love of Jesus. Only with his help, can we forgive others the way he forgives us. But, once we do forgive others, we are free to enjoy our lives more. Forgiveness helps us “let go” of resentment, anger,and pain. It’s just another way that Jesus sets us free. “Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also, will be clean.” (Matthew:23:26). If you were lost in a forest, would you want a blind person to lead you out? PROBABLY NOT! Jesus called the Pharisees “blind”. He didn’t mean that they were physically blind, but that they were spiritually blind. But they were the spiritual leaders. How could they lead people if they couldn’t see the way? These leaders cared more about appearances, than they cared

about the truth. That’s why Jesus told them to: “clean the inside of the cup” — their hearts and souls — first. These leaders were only doing things to make themselves look good in the eyes of the people. They didn’t actually care about the people. They worried about superficial things, but they ignored important matters like practising justice and mercy. They didn’t speakup for weak people who were being taken advantage of. They didn’t care if people were being hurt or abused. They didn’t use their voices for the voiceless. This made Jesus so angry! Following Jesus is not just about conforming to a bunch of rules. It is about the state of your heart. Following Jesus begins with asking him to change your heart, so you want to serve him, follow him, and care about the things he cares about. PRAYER: “Dear Jesus, thank you for caring about my insiders — my heart and soul, please help us to forgive and to love other people. We need your help to do this! Amen.
