Students march in support of NAIDOC Week

At the park, the students were greeted by Narromine NAIDOC Committee members Jaqui Hull and Jane Kemp who invited special guest, Wiradjuri Elder, Uncle Ralph Naden OAM, to deliver the Welcome to Country. Uncle Ralph also played a unique circular hand-carved didgeridoo and conducted a Smoking Ceremony for those high school students who wished to participate. NAIDOC Week organisers acknowledged the school, and in particular, Crystal Donnelly, who was instrumental in organising the students to march. The Australian and Aboriginal ﬂags were raised by Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies, and Lynda Edwards. The event was followed by a special Ceremony Welcoming Babies to Country.

By SHARON BONTHUYS STUDENTS from Narromine High School lent their support to the start of local community NAIDOC Week celebrations this week by holding a community breakfast and then marching from the library up the main street of Narromine to Tom Perry Park. The entire high school cohort participated in the march on September 11, accompanied by their teachers and some family and community members. One of those who joined the march was Lynda Edwards, a proud Wangkumara/ Barkindji woman who is NSW 2023 Aboriginal Woman of the Year and NSW 2023 Premier’s Woman of the Year. The march was the second of several events to celebrate NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week in Narromine. The National NAIDOC Week traditionally takes place in July but locally the celebrations are always planned by the local NAIDOC Committee to take place in September during the much warmer weather. It certainly was a beautiful day. The sight of several hundred young people making the trek along Dandaloo Street, singing the Bruce Woodley/Dobe Newton hit, “I Am Australian”, waving black, yellow and red balloons and streamers and carrying a colourful ban-

models, the keepers of history and Culture, stories and art, who pass down stories, traditions and elements of Culture to the next generations. The police supported the

march by providing two highway patrol cars which escorted the marchers safely on their journey to Tom Perry Park along the central business district street.

FOLLOWING on from the success of last year’s Welcome Baby To Country event, CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes team members Jaqui Hull and Lizzie Harris played a major role in organising the 2023 Welcome Baby to Country event on September 11 at Tom Perry Park. Continued page 10

Wynsley Lane overtaking lane now open

The westbound overtaking lane near Narromine was completed in late August. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. Work continues on the Lagoon Creek overtaking lane.

The Lagoon Creek lane is not far from completion.

By SHARON BONTHUYS WORK on the westbound Mitchell Highway overtaking lane close to Narromine was completed in the last few days of August. Located near Wynsley Lane approximately ten kilometres from Narromine, the overtaking lane is part of a $32 million state government project that started in 2022, aiming to make the heavy traffic corridor between Dubbo and Narromine safer and more efficient. Another overtaking lane near Lagoon Creek is also nearing completion. A spokesperson for Transport for NSW told the Narromine Star the multi-million dollar

project is progressing well. “Construction on the project’s third overtaking lane at Mylangra, 25 kilometres west of Dubbo, remains underway and is on track for completion early in the New Year, weather permitting,” the spokesperson said. “Once complete, traffic heading from Narromine to Dubbo will have more overtaking opportunities.” While the overtaking lanes project lost 67 days to the significant weather events of 2022, the department reports it is expected to be completed by mid-2024 and within budget. “Crews have been able to make great progress,” the spokesperson said.

Giddy up Jesus; the Bread of Life, and cowboys, the the Good Shepherd Nevertire Rodeo is back! BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS

Lane Howlett riding Full Throttle in the Open Bull event at the Nevertire Rodeo in 2019. PHOTO: JODIE ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY. By HARRIET GILMORE EXCITEMENT is building for the third annual Nevertire Rodeo after a three-year hiatus. Flooding last year and the pandemic cancelled the event for several years and the notfor-proﬁt organisation who puts on the event can’t wait to have punters kicking up dust on the Sunday of the October long weekend. Tom Russ, president of We of the Nevertire, the local committee organising the Nevertire Rodeo, said he was so excited to have the event back this year. “It’s been a long time coming and we are so looking forward to having everyone back in our little village,” said Mr Russ. “It should be a cracking day, with an action-packed schedule of rodeo events planned, market stalls, and a full bar and food facilities on site.” This year, the committee has also teamed up with the Cobar Rodeo committee to offer a ‘Best in the West’ competition. “With the Cobar Rodeo on the Saturday of the long weekend, and the Nevertire Rodeo on the Sunday, we thought it was a fantastic idea to offer a ‘Best in the West’ prize to entice top riders from around the country to make their way out west for our events,” added Mr Russ. “The aggregate winners in the Open Bullride, Open Saddlebronc, and Open Bareback

over the two rodeos will walk away with a gorgeous Bob Berg Buckle to be presented at Nevertire.” As well as the open events, punters at the Nevertire Rodeo will be able to cheer on riders in the Novice Bullride, Saddlebronc, and Bareback events, Ladies and Junior Barrel Racing, Steer Rides and Dog Jumping. The committee are also working through plans for the ever popular local ‘Donkey Race’ as well as a Locals Steer Ride, giving amateurs from the community a chance to put their skills to the test. “It’s not just the pros on show. We know the locals like to get involved too, and the donkey race and local steer ride are always a good laugh and test of skills and courage,” said Mr Russ. The not-for-proﬁt event is run by a dedicated group of volunteers from the community, with all funds raised from the rodeo donated back into the region. “In the past we’ve donated funds to the Nevertire Hall for vital repairs, the tennis club for new nets, the local pony club and other worthy organisations,” he said. “A big thanks must go to the hardworking committee and our sponsors; without these guys we wouldn’t be able to go ahead.” See advertisement

THEN Jesus declared: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me, will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me, will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35). Imagine for a moment that your daily activities consisted of nothing but eating cakes, cookies, pizzas, and Macca’s. It might be fun for a day or two, but then we’d probably get a bit bored — not to mention, sick. Jesus said that people cannot live by bread (food) alone; we need something more. We need something that “ﬁ lls-up” our soul, not just our bodies. Jesus is that “something more”. He ﬁ lls us with joy, peace, wisdom, and gifts from God. Through him, we receive all the good and nourishing things our souls need and crave. Whoever knows Jesus will never go “hungry” for comfort. Whoever believes in him, will never be “thirsty” for Grace. He wants to give us abundant joy and new life. He wants to transform our lives, so

that we are overflowing with every good thing. So what are we waiting for? Taste and see that our Lord is good! “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd, and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.” (John 10:11–13). A hired hand who watches sheep for a shepherd, doesn’t truly care about the sheep. Most likely, he wouldn’t risk his life for them in the face of danger. But the sheep’s owner would take big risks to protect his flock. Jesus watches over us like a shepherd; and not just any shepherd. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, has given his life to take care of us, because he loves us deeply. He cares for every single sheep

in his ﬂock. And, when one of his sheep is hurt or lost, he does everything he can to heal or ﬁ nd it. Many of us face big problems, like chronic illnesses, learning disabilities, abuse, bullying, and abandonment. No matter what you’re dealing with, Jesus is looking out for you. He hurts when you are hurt. He wants to take care of you and your needs; he will even pick you up to carry you, when you face difficult times. Jesus loves us even more than our very own parents love you, because his love is supernatural. We can always trust in the Good Shepherd. Prayer: “Lord Jesus, you are the bread of life and the Good Shepherd, thank-you for your love and protection. Thank-you for never leaving us alone. Amen”.

120 years of Catholic education in Narromine Contributed by ST AUGUSTINE’S SCHOOL DID you know that this year marks 120 years of Catholic education in Narromine? The Sisters of Mercy ﬁrst began travelling from Dubbo to Narromine in 1903 to provide outreach. After planning for a school was completed, a four-room cottage was built on the corner of Dandaloo Street and Third Avenue and the foundation Sisters arrived in 1904. The rest is history. St Augustine’s invites the community to participate in its “paver program” to help raise funds for the next 120 years and beyond. To find out how to purchase your paver, contact the school for more information.

Are you ready for the referendum?

Bungling the Basin Plan THERE have been more concerning developments around the Murray Darling Basin Plan this week, with Labor introducing proposed changes to water management which would weaken their obligation to protect affected communities.

Concern over Murray Darling Basin Plan; Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, near the Macquarie River in Dubbo. PHOTO: PARKES ELECTORATE.

The original basin plan was one which aimed to both beneﬁt the environment and protect the social and economic assets of communities along the waterways. My fear, and the fear of many in the basin, is that the proposed changes will damage these communities, provide questionable environmental beneﬁts, and deinclude meet the people of Parliament, virtual guided visit of the Parliament of NSW, Henry Parkes’ disastrous document dilemma, and storytelling session with drawing activity. I’d love to see all the children and families from our community participate in these fun events, so please feel free to share with others who may be interested.

WITH the referendum for the Voice to Parliament now conﬁ rmed for Saturday, October 14, I am encouraging all eligible residents of the Parkes electorate, to ensure they are ready to vote. Like regular elections, many residents in the Parkes electorate will use the postal voting system for the Referendum. Postal votes can be arranged directly with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) via their website or through the Postal Vote website, however physical forms will also be available at my electorate offices. Please get in touch sooner rather than later, if you need a physical application form sent to you. Details for my offices are listed on my website. If you are already registered as a general postal voter, you do not need to apply for a postal vote; but all voters should check their details are up-todate by contacting the AEC as soon as possible.

Babies Welcomed To Country

PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

From page 1 The event attracted a sizeable crowd who watched as special guest, respected Elder Uncle Ralph Naden OAM, formally introduced 12 babies and toddlers to Culture by conducting a Smoking Ceremony while much loved Elder and local community identity, Auntie Ruth Carney, annointed them with ochre. “I’d like to thank the committee for inviting me over here,” Uncle Ralph told those gathered. He had travelled from his home at Balladoran for the event. “When they go through the Smoking Ceremony, I’m going to ask mums and dads to clear your heads so your eyes can see. “Make sure you look after your little babies. Let them grow up knowing what the markings on us mean. When

we talk about Culture, all the markings on us [are there to] show where we come from and who we are,” Uncle Ralph said. The babies were brought forward and Smoked, annointed with ochre and presented with certiﬁcates and special gift bags containing items donated by local businesses and services. Uncle Ralph taught a song to visiting preschoolers who then also participated in a Smoking Ceremony, and several community members also took the opportunity to be Smoked. CatholicCare Coordinators Jaqui Hull and Lizzie Harris acknowledged the support from numerous businesses, local service providers and community members and their women’s group for contributing items towards the gift bags that each baby received. It is due to their ongoing support

that this event continues to be a success. Lynda Edwards told those gathered that the Ceremony Welcoming Babies to Country was a very signiﬁcant Cultural event. “For our Elders it’s really important that we keep with our Culture. How do you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’re from?” Ms Edwards asked. “It’s really important that we honour our Elders in terms of what we can learn going forward in this life. It’s important for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids to be able to know their Culture and be proud of their Culture. “It has been a real honour to be able to work with all the services to be able to bring you Narromine’s NAIDOC celebrations for 2023,” Ms Edwards said.

The NAIDOC Committee thanked the Narromine Shire and the police for supporting the event, and the Narromine High School, in particular, Crystal Donnelly, for bringing all the students to the event. It is hoped the community will embrace and get involved in future NAIDOC Week events. “It’s really important that [NAIDOC Week] is a community event and that we get as many community members involved as possible,” Ms Edwards said, inviting everyone to attend other planned events this week including a special event at the sports centre on Friday, September 15. Cr Davies said he had not witnessed such an event before and found it a very moving experience. “It’s a real privilege to be here today to honour the NAIDOC celebrations and join

with you in your celebrations. It’s a fascinating Ceremony, and it’s fantastic to see this Culture being practiced here in our area.” Cr Davies said he looked forward to working with the Local Aboriginal Land Council and indicated a number of future projects will bring opportunities that will have positive outcomes for the shire’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Other local events planned for NAIDOC Week include additional activities at Narromine High School including a community morning tea and bingo, an Elders Lunch hosted by NASCA, a morning tea at St Augustine’s Parish School, and a community assembly at the sports centre followed by markets, live music and a movie.

Unique memorial opens next month

The memorial wall.

By SHARON BONTHUYS WHEN Narromine Aviation Museum’s memorial wall officially opens on October 14, the unique structure will be the only monument to service personnel who trained at any of the 12 Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Elementary Flying Training Schools. Narromine became the site of the fi fth Elementary Flying Training School at the local aerodrome in June 1940. From then until mid-1944, almost 3,000 pilots completed fl ight training through the school. “This will be the only location out of the 12 [Elementary Flying Schools in Australia] that has a memorial wall,” said proud museum chair, Pe-

A NSW government grant has made the memorial a reality.

ter Keirath OAM. The 40-metre long memorial wall will also be the realisation of Mr Kierath’s long-held dream to honour ﬂ ight personnel who trained at Narromine Aerodrome during World War II. This dream began at least six years ago and concerted efforts to raise funds to build the memorial began soon after, but grant applications were initially unsuccessful. “We applied to the commonwealth government three times and got knocked back and then Mike Nelmes, our curator, noticed that the state government had [funding available] and we put in an application last year,” Mr Kierath said. This application was suc-

cessful and in February 2023 the Narromine Aviation Museum received $136,941 from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund for the project. Following that announcement and the availability of funding, work has been undertaken throughout this year to construct the memorial wall on the old military parade ground parallel to the front of the Aviation Museum building. A nod to the type of materials used in housing that existed locally at that time, the waist-high red brick wall has been constructed in two sections that are 20 metres long. Lighting has been installed this week and the ﬁ nal touch-

es will soon be made to the monument including installing 39 heavy bronze plaques that will acknowledge the defence force personnel who trained at the No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School at Narromine aerodrome. The project also includes landscaping with cement pathways, garden beds and a place for ﬂ agpoles to be installed, with a picket fence to keep people from walking through the gardens once they are established. “We’ll put some native shrubs in and make it very nice,” Mr Kierath said. Photographs of what was on site during the 1920s and 1930s will also be mounted around the parade ground, Mr Kierath

said. Yet to be conﬁ rmed, a future development may also include a cement footpath right around the parade ground site for visitors to the site. Special guest Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston, AK AFC (Ret’d) will formally open the memorial wall at the museum on October 14. The now retired former Chief of Air Force and Chief of Defence Force is no stranger to Narromine, having opened a new section of the aviation museum in 2016. The community will be invited to attend the opening of the memorial, details of which will be featured in a future issue of the Narromine Star.

New bush poetry book launched By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE’S own bush poet, Geoff Smith, launched his new poetry book at the Narromine Library on September 4. “Australian Bush Poetry” contains 59 of Mr Smith’s works that reﬂect his time travelling and living in the rural and remote space of outback Australia up to 2001. He read several poems during the launch including “A Country Lad”, “Call to the Outback”, and “Popcorn”. “It’s a great love of mine, the outback. I thought I’d put some of my experiences into poems,” he said. “I’m telling a story [with these poems] and I hope it brings back some nice memories for you.” Memories like the time he looked after a 125,000-acre outback property for people who had gone away, as well as growing up in western NSW and his career as a respected auctioneer. Some of the poems are closer to home, including the tributes to Mr Smith’s much loved black labrador, Connor, who passed in 2012, and his young neighbour’s pet chook, Popcorn, who continually found ways into his compost heap looking for juicy worms. Mr Smith’s book is a new and improved version of the volume ﬁ rst released in 2022 by an international publisher. For the updated volume, Mr Smith worked closely with West Australian-based SJB Indie Pub-

lisher to produce a much better quality book. “I’m delighted with the outcome of this new volume and I hope people enjoy it,” Mr Smith said. In the introduction to his book Mr Smith writes: “The outback displays nature in all its glory, and I am always in awe of its beauty and natural appearance. My hope is for the reader to be inspired to appreciate the outback for what it is and not dismiss it as a wilderness of bush and sand.” Julie-Anne Matthews was one of those who attended the launch with her support dog, Tiara. She said she enjoyed hearing Mr Smith’s poems, which reminded her of stories told to her by an old bushman. A delicious morning tea followed the launch, including cake supplied by Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA) president Jean Richardson. Mr Smith plays a signiﬁcant role in supporting the annual CWA public speaking competition for schools in the region and several CWA members attended the launch. Is there another book of poetry in Mr Smith? He doesn’t think so. “I don’t plan to go back out west,” he said, citing the inspiration for most of his work to date. “Australian Bush Poetry” is available online and can be borrowed from the Narromine Library.

Ruth wins poetry competition at CWA cultural day By SHARON BONTHUYS

Pat Riley (Trangie), Gladys Thompson (Hermidale), Melanie Cameron (Hermidale), Dawn Elder (Nyngan), Ruth Shanks AM (Dubbo Evening) and Alex Gartside (Trangie) look at fabric from Mrs Shanks’ international travels.

RUTH Hando from Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA) walked away with the Neta Dewhurst poetry prize at the CWA Far Western Group Cultural, International, Agricultural and Environmental Day on August 26. A few weeks on, Ruth is still ﬁ nding it hard to believe that she won the poetry competition which honours a former long-serving president of the Hermidale CWA branch and former group vice-president, Neta Dewhurst, who passed away almost 40 years ago. “It feels amazing, [but] I certainly didn’t expect to win,” Mrs Hando said. “I guess I really still ﬁ nd it hard to believe it.” The cultural day is a much anticipated annual event for the CWA Far Western Group, which includes the communities of Wanaaring, Enngonia, Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobar, Nymagee, Hermidale, Nyngan, Trangie, Warren and Narromine. The event is staged in Nyngan as a central location for the other branches that travel to the event. Around 40 people attended the event this year, which features comedic skits, poetry performances, and musical numbers by CWA branches. The highlights of the day included a mini-musical by the Hermidale CWA branch, and a presentation about the work of the Associated Country Women of the World by its former World President, Ruth Shanks AM from Dubbo. As part of the cultural day, the

CWA Far Western Group stages a poetry competition honouring the late Neta Dewhurst who passed away in 1984. Mrs Dewhurst was born Neta Taylor in Narromine in 1902, and was raised in Narromine, Peak Hill and Mogriguy before marrying Hartley Dewhurst. The couple moved to Hermidale in 1929 and stayed until Mr Dewhurst passed away in 1971. The theme of the Neta Dewhurst Poetry Award this year was The Waterhole, and ﬁve entries were submitted from Far Western Group branches with various interpretations of what the theme meant to the authors. Ruth Hando’s evocative poem was judged to be the best entry. The Narromine CWA recently unearthed an old copy of an anthology of poems featuring works collected through the annual Neta Dewhurst competition between 1987 and 2000. The publication contains works from from a number of residents from the Narromine Shire including this year’s prize winner, Ruth Hando (The Old Bush Dance), as well as Nita Edson (Memories of the War, The Bush Dance), Maggie May Gordon (The Bush Telegraph), Pat Jones (The Old Time Country Hall) and a very shy “someone at Narromine” (Rain, Like It Or Lump It). Narromine CWA is very proud of Ruth’s win. “Hopefully it may inspire others to get involved next year,” said Narromine CWA Secretary, Carolyn Egan.

Planning, not politics, needed Call to action for for disaster relief: Saunders TAG, as group seeks new blood By PAT RILEY — TRANGIE ACTION GROUP IT’S all action stations for Trangie, with the town’s local progress association, seeking new blood to help reinvigorate the group. While it was a well-attended Annual General Meeting of the Trangie Action Group (TAG) last Wednesday that featured all of its executive returned to office unopposed, there was a lack of new faces bringing new ideas to the organisation. In order for the Trangie Action Group to continue functioning as it has done for recent decades, the group believes, that it is imperative that they attract new members. Those re-elected included Terrie Milgate accepting renomination for President, Maddie Bretag that of Secretary, and Chris Welch as Treasurer, with Pat Riley continuing in the role of Publicity Officer. The new name on the committee, however, is that of Leaha Hitchcock, who accepted nomination for the position of Vice President. Following the election of office-bearers, President Milgate presented her report in which she thanked members for their commitment and the contribution to the successful organisation and running of the projects that TAG has undertaken throughout the year. This included the hugely-successful Australia Day and the Christmas Party celebrations for the community. The Christmas Party — funded by a grant from Narromine Shire — was held in the main street and turned-out to be a truly festive event with live music, Christmas lights, children’s activities and an assortment of food provided free of charge by local businesses; a wonderful way to focus attention on just what is available in our home town. Terrie also commented on the challenges encountered and overcome during the past few years and commended the committee on their resilience during these difficult times. The AGM was followed by the Group’s monthly meeting during which a number of issues were raised for discussion; including Secretary Maddie Bretag report on the Recipe Book that is near completion which will hopefully soon be ready for distribution. Plans are also underway for the 2023 Christmas Party which will feature the ever-popular Shop-nWin competition to encourage people to shop locally to provide a boost for the local economy, while at the same time creating an opportunity to win for themselves some great prizes. The Action Group was also very appreciative of the Regional Australia Bank’s Community Partnership Program, which saw an amazing $7260.56 deposited into its account. While no specific project has yet been named for these funds, the Group has a list of community needs that, once completed, are aimed to for the betterment of the town and community. The Action Group’s good work in the community goes back to a time when youth services were in dire need in the local community. Concerned about the distinct lack of accessible and appropriate facilities for the town’s youth, TAG was formed to provide the impetus for serious fund-raising that resulted in construction of the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex that now stands in the grounds of the Central School. The Action Group is also credited with playing a role in securing alternative banking when two local banks closed their doors within a week of each other in the 1990’s. Other initiatives include the Australia Day celebrations, the street Christmas party, the “Big Billy” at the Goan Waterhole, the plaque and memorial gates at the entrance to what was once Scott Park, and securing the grant that enabled the refurbishment of Trangie Oval. Other projects that have beneﬁted from the involvement of this dynamic and dedicated group, include the continuing mural project that is part of the Town Beautiﬁcation plan, the Tourist Information board at the Goan Waterhole, Challenge’s overnight Respite facility, Junior Fishing competitions, and the opening of the Wungunja Cultural Centre. While this was a well-attended meeting, there were sadly, no new faces and subsequently, no new ideas. The joining fee is a princely $2 and, for this, members will have the opportunity to have some input in the progress and prosperity of their town.

THE State Labor Government is playing politics with natural disaster relief, State member for Dubbo and NSW National’s Leader, Dugald Saunders has claimed. “Today, the NSW Labor Government has tried to take the NSW Reconstruction Authority and use it for political point-scoring,” Mr Saunders said in a joint statement with Shadow Minister for Emergency Services, Gurmesh Singh. He said that, while the NSW Liberals and Nationals welcome the $115 million commitment toprovide additional resources to the agency, it is important to note that funding another government agency does not ﬁ x a road or a

home that has been badly damaged in a natural disaster. “After devastating fi res and floods, the former Government was fi rmly focused on helping all affected communities get back on their feet, which is why we committed $5 billion in State funding to disaster recovery as our top priority,” the statement said. “The Reconstruction Authority was established in November last year under the Coalition’s $200 million package designed to implement the key recommendations from the independent Flood Inquiry and it is good to see Labor building on the foundations we set,” he added. The two men said that now is

the time for planning for the future, not politics. “As we stare down another hot, dry spring and summer, we need to know what the government is doing right now to help farmers and regional communities prepare for the tough conditions ahead, especially given some of them are already in drought,” the two elected representatives said. “Prevention is always better than a cure, and we have heard nothing from the government on how it plans to get people through, aside from allocating money to another Government agency,” they added.

Index improvement in aged, carers, Veterans payments from next week IT mightn’t be much for those who have to live on it, but the Federal Government has recently increased the rate of the old-age pension in Australia. The pension boost will also assist those on Veteran Payments, the Disability Support Pension, and Carer Payments, will receive an increase due to high inﬂation. The rise will see the maximum rate of the single Age Pension increase by $32.70 per fortnight (taking it from $1064 to $1096.70) and for couples, by $49.40 per fortnight (taking their combined payment from $1604 to $1653.40). Chief Advocate Ian Henschke said while people who rely on the Age Pension will welcome the increase, under the current system pensioners are still behind, especially when inﬂ ation is unusually high. Several other government payments will also be increased on September 20 in line with announcements made in the May Budget. Single JobSeeker Payment recipients will receive a base payment of $749.20 per fortnight, a

$56.10 increase. For JobSeeker recipients aged 55-59 unemployed for more than nin months, the payment increase will be $96.10 per fortnight. A welcome change is the 15 per cent increase to Commonwealth Rent Assistance. The maximum rate for a single renter will rise by $27.60 to $184.80 per fortnight, for a couple by $26 to $174. “It’s a good start but more needs to be done to help renters,” Mr Henschke said. “We recently heard from a couple paying $920 a fortnight in rent. As pensioners, this leaves them with only $907.40 a fortnight to pay for food, fuel, utilities, and other expenses.” Income limits for eligibility for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card are increasing by $5400 to $95,400 per annum for singles and by $8640 to $152,640 for couples combined. With deeming rates frozen for two years, more self-funded retirees could now be eligible for concessions. “More can be done to support older people doing it tough; as re-

cent National Seniors research showed, a greater proportion of people with low incomes and those who are renting are suffering from cost-of-living pressures,” Mr Henschke said. “For example, 39 per cent of older renters told us they were experiencing severe cost-of-living impacts compared to only 11 per cent of older homeowners. “What we need is additional targeted support for people with limited means and to stop punishing those who need to work,” he said. The group has called on the Government to simplify the tax and transfer system to boost workforce participation, and with it income and savings. “We want a change to income test rules for pensioners who want to work and work more; this could be achieved by reducing the taper rate from 50c to 32.5c in the dollar to align with the tax system. It’s simple, fair, will help solve critical workforce shortage, and boost the budget bottom line,” Mr Henschke said.

Rural Aid offers sweet relief to varroa-impacted beekeepers AUSTRALIA’S most trusted rural charity has restated its support of commercial beekeepers as concern mounts over the continuing spread of the invasive varroa mite and its devastating impact on the nation’s honeybees. More than 260 outbreaks of varroa mite have now been detected since June 2022, when the alarm was ﬁ rst raised at the Port of Newcastle. “Like everyone involved in agriculture, Rural Aid is enormously concerned for our beekeepers and our ‘littlest livestock’,” Chief Executive Officer John Warlters said. “Rural Aid is supporting beekeepers with an offer of $1500 of ﬁ nancial assistance and rural counsellors on standby to provide emotional support.” The detection of varroa mite in hives in the Sunraysia region of southern New South Wales – one of the most heavily bee dependent regions for the pollination of crops – had further heightened

concerns for the industry. NSW DPI said Sunraysia was currently hosting the largest concentration of managed European honeybee hives in Australia to provide pollination services for almond orchards. Rural Aid has provided more

than $500,000 to beekeepers since 2015 and is ready to again provide a ‘hand up’ to producers when it was needed most. “Our thoughts are with beekeepers and their families at this time. It must be soul destroying to see precious hives euthanised on top of the signiﬁcant ﬁ nancial impact,” said Mr Warlters. “Rural Aid has experienced an increase in calls from distressed beekeepers who are understandably upset that their livelihoods and livestock are in jeopardy. “Our counselling team is specially trained to help primary producers navigate crisis. We thank the NSW DPI for their trust in encouraging apiarists to reach out to Rural Aid,” Mr Warlters said. “We are urging affected beekeepers to get in touch with Rural Aid at this distressing time.” Varroa-mite affected beekeepers can apply for assistance and make donations at the Rural Aid website.

By SHARON BONTHUYS MORE than 630 children visited Narromine and Trangie libraries during Book Week, the annual celebration of Australian children’s literature, and many donned colourful costumes for the much loved event. Some 527 children from local schools visited Narromine Library in 27 class visits, while 107 children visited Trangie Library in ﬁve visits. “The kids all dress up for Book Week, which is really exciting,” said library coordinator Gabby Teale-McEvoy. Staff at both libraries joined in the fun by also dressing in colourful costumes. Ms Teale-McEvoy dressed as Fancy Nancy, the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), and other characters during the extended Book Week which ran from 19-30 August in Narromine Shire.

wore costumes including Minnie Mouse, the Mad Hatter, Where’s Wally, and rocked a banana outﬁt. Staff from Trangie Library weren’t to be outdone, with library assistant Stacey Neville dressing as Princess Elsa from Frozen, and Allison Nash donning a frog costume promoting the book ‘Snap!’ “This year’s theme, ‘Read, Grow, Inspire,’ encapsulates the essence of what reading can offer to each and every one of us,” Ms Teale-McEvoy said. “Books have an incredible ability to transport us to different worlds, ignite our imaginations and even spark personal growth and development.” Book Week is an important event on the library and school calendars and expressly promotes the ﬁ nest Australian children’s literature. Promoted by the non-profit Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) which sponsors awards during Book

Week, the CBCA Book of the Year is awarded in categories including Older Readers, Younger Readers, Early Childhood, Picture Book of the Year, the Eve Pownall Award and New Illustrator Award. “Every book we read has the potential to leave a lasting impact on our lives. During Book Week we are delighted to celebrate the best of Australian children’s literature with Narromine and Trangie schools,” Ms Teale-McEvoy said.

lots of fun. In Book Week, we invited our families to read with us and to have lunch on the lawn. They were very excited about how we knew our sounds and could read ﬂuently. Our classes went to the Narromine Library, and the ladies there showed us lots of books. They encouraged us to join the library so we could borrow from them. The most fabulous time of the week was when we came to school dressed as our favourite book characters. Even our teachers dressed up. It was lots of fun.

Christian School celebrates Book Week and sports success By CATH CHAPMAN, NARROMINE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL CELEBRATING Book Week

is always a highlight on the school calendar at Narromine Christian School and this year was no different. The students loved the catwalk parade with parents and really enjoyed staying in character all day. Our year six students are enjoying having new learning resources available in their classrooms but the microscopes have deﬁnitely been the highlight. Narromine Christian School has had six students qualify to compete at the CSSA State Athletics Carnival. Congratulations to Dallas Boney, Isla Darcy, Mya Harper, Claudia MacInnes, Khloe Paulston and Creaden Mallison. We wish them all the best as they head to Sydney to compete. More on the sporting front, we have had a junior boys’ soccer team represent Narromine Christian School at the CSSA State Soccer Competition. Their sportsmanship and skills learnt will put them in good stead to compete again next year.

Proposed group home for Algalah Street By ANDREW TARRY

New portal for smart water devices By ANDREW TARRY FOR all the keen water savers residing in the Narromine shire there was some positive news this week as the council announced the launch of a new customer portal for the water saving devices some residents or businesses have installed on their property. The water devices provide more accurate data than previous methods on water usage. The devices allow customers to track when and how much water they are using in real time. The devices all enable alarms to be set for over usage and early detection of leaks. The customer portal, known as the NSC is an online platform which facilities user access to their water data. As the region starts to become dryer with less rainfall forecast in the immediate to moderate future, the ability for properties and customers to be strategic and more efficient with their water usage will beneﬁt everyone in the community. Narromine Shire Council general manager, Jane Redden, supported the announcement of the portal and the beneﬁts of the water saving devices. “The smart water devices and NSC Water customer portal will provide residents and ratepayers with valuable insights into how they use their water, allowing them to develop their own strategies to manage their consumption,” said Mrs Redden.

The council have already been involved with some residents in detecting leaks. As the cost of amenities, food, electricity, and fuel amongst other necessities keeps rising, the desire or need to save money somehow becomes increasingly more important. There is also a beneﬁt to the environment by saving more water and being aware of usage amounts, particularly when understanding which area of the household or business uses the most water. The new devices and portal will provide improved data for the council which, “will allow council to monitor the condition of the town water supply networks in both Narromine and Trangie,” said Mrs Redden. “One of the great beneﬁts of the online portal is that it provides council water staff with enhanced data about the water network and services.” We are really hopeful the online portal will be very effective when helping customers with their water bill enquiries and monitoring their water usage,” said Mrs Redden. The portal is not just limited to property owners. Tenants, with their landlord’s permission and if the water saving device is installed on the property, can access the portal, and use the data as well. Any person looking for more information on the portal, please check page 8.

THE housing affordability and supply crisis has reached every corner of the country without many signs of slowing down. The issues plaguing the sector are complex and have been bubbling away for some time, even before the pandemic. A potential solution to ease some of the stress on housing accessibility in Narromine is currently before the council for deliberation. A development application for a group home at 134 Algalah Street has been submitted to the Narromine Shire Council through the NSW planning portal. The council now has the opportunity to discuss and assess the potential beneﬁts or downsides of the development before any kind of approval or refusal takes place. The application proposes to build 14 dwellings to provide housing for people who are socially disadvantaged, with the plans drawn up by Avalon Drafting, based in Dubbo. The dwell-

ings will be leased to one family per dwelling, with the houses a combination of one or two bedrooms with kitchen, living, dining, and bathroom spaces. Some of the proposed dwellings combine the bathroom and laundry together while others have what appears to be a European style laundry where the washer and dryer are in a cupboard. At this stage there are expected to be further amendments to the car park, access, and the building designs. In the plans for the development the new design includes a footpath on Algalah Street while Colorbond cladding (walls and rooﬁ ng) has been sought as the predominant building material used in the development. The council will need to discuss the development application at a council meeting to ensure that councillors are able to submit questions or responses to the plans. Until then, the plans are on display until early next week through the NSW planning portal.

Iknowastar won 2023 Mudgee Nugget Cup

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

By COLIN HODGES APPEALING as a prime candidate for success in upcoming spring feature races including the Dubbo Gold Cup, Iknowastar was a dominant winner of the 1400 metres Mudgee Florist-Black Nugget Cup on Sunday, September 3 at Mudgee. The four-year-old Iknowastar from the Bjorn Baker stable at Warwick Farm came to Mudgee with an imposing record having won four races in succession at Orange (two), Mudgee and Goulburn before an unplaced run in the Group Two Tulloch Stakes at Rosehill prior to a spell. Second start back from the break, Iknowastar with Sydney apprentice Jett Stanley in the saddle was backed from $2.20 to $1.80 favourite for the Mudgee feature. Taking the early lead, Iknowastar shot away on the home turn and was not seriously threatened down the long home straight. Trained at Wellington by Peter W. Stanley, the well performed eight-year-old mare Not Negotiating ($26 to $21) ridden by the trainer’s daughter Ashleigh Stanley, from well back ﬁ nished strongly along the rails to run second while the Kris Lees, Newcastle trained Sailor (Ben Osmond, $7) ﬁ lled third place. Narromine trainer Kylie Kennedy has Lipstick Lil going well and the seven-yearold mare made it two wins in succession when taking out the 1200 metres Kristie’s Boutique Country Boosted Benchmark 66 Handicap. Hitting the front over the concluding stages, Lipstick Lil ($6.50) responded to strong riding by apprentice Will Stanley

Will Stanley and Lipstick Lil ($6.50) held out Obey (Rory Hutchings, $7.50) and Sussu (Koby Jennings, $3.90 fav.) to take a win in Mudgee’s race two on Sunday, September 3. PHOTOS: WWW.RACINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM.AU

to hold out Obey (Rory Hutchings, $7.50) to score by a head with Sussu (Koby Jennings, $3.90 fav.) a half-length back in third place. Several of the big Sydney stables had runners in the 1100 metres Ultimate Care Maiden Handicap won by the Annabelle Neasham, Warwick Farm trained Dylan’s Lad ridden by Dubbo jockey Clayton Gallagher. Crossing quickly from an outside barrier, Dylan’s Lad ($3.80) shared the lead then accelerated to an impressive win by almost two lengths over Shalmum (Anna Roper, $7) and Nettles (Jett Stanley, $6.50). Scone trainer Stephen Jones had a winning double with Oh No Bro (Chelsea Hillier, $2.50 to $2.15 favourite) and Superabundant (Koby Jennings, $2.80 to $2.30 favourite).

Enngonia THE lure of doubled prizemon-

ey attracted a capacity ﬁeld on Saturday for the $30,000 Dunk Insurance Enngonia Cup, with the winner Sacred Stream coming from the Charleville stables of Shane Iverson. Canberra based jockey Richard Bensley took the early lead on the Queensland galloper, and it was an all the way win by Sacred Stream ($3.20) by two and a half lengths from the Connie Greig, Dubbo trained pair Linden Tree (Will Stanley, $7) and Hemsted (Clayton Gallagher, $3 favourite) in the 1400 metres Cup. Richard Bensley and Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb were on their way back from outback Queensland where their wins included All Words in the Betoota Cup, and their stop at Enngonia in far north west NSW proved fruitful with a winning double, Hurn Court and Nannu. Both of those horses had been unplaced at Birdsville, however Hurn Court (Rich-

ard Bensley, $1.80 favourite) led throughout at Enngonia to win the 1000 metres Bourke Bowling Club Open Handicap from Billy Bent Ear (Will Stanley ,$3.60) and Za Hidden Dragon (Ken Dunbar, $4.40). Completing the Richard Bensley treble and Rodney Robb double, Nannu ($4.40) led most of the way to beat Ballycastle (Clayton Gallagher, $4.80) and The Drafter (Chelsea Ings, $10) in the 1400 metres Thomas Foods International Class 2 Handicap. Bathurst trainer Roy McCabe and his partner jockey Ashleigh Stanley made the long trip from the central Tablelands to land a winning double with Boovey and Overclassy. Near last turning for home, Boovey (Ashleigh Stanley, $11 to $4.80) stormed down the outside to win the 1000 metres Maiden Plate from Our Little Zoe (Angela Cooper, $7) and Hammoon Sunshine (Jake

Overclassy (Ashleigh Stanley, $2.30 favourite) later led throughout to beat Jawsome (Paul Zerafa, $8) and Bonhomie (Will Stanley, $3.60) in the 1200 metres Nutrien Walsh Hughes Benchmark 45 Handicap.

Dubbo trainer Connie Greig has a tremendous record on western region tracks and she won the 1200 metres Class 2 Handicap with Belle O’ballee.

Coming from behind the leading trio, Belle O’ballee (Will Stanley, $2.60 equal favourite) won by over a length from Bionic (Clayton Gallagher, $3.80 to $3.50) and Rupeltier (Ken Dunbar, $5).

GERRIES GOLF NOTES

Win for Richardson in Wednesday play By NORM LEWIS

By NORM LEWIS IN big news for the local club, Narromine Golf Club will be hosting the NSW Veterans Sand Greens Fourball State Championships this coming weekend. This prestigious event will be played over 36 holes; the ﬁ rst 18 on the Saturday, and the ﬁ nal 18 on the Sunday. Narromine is honoured to have again been selected to conduct these Championships by the NSW VGA, which they have held annually since 2015. Nominations for the event have now closed with the event attracting Veteran golfers from throughout NSW with some excellent golf ex-

pected to be played. In ore good news, the Narromine course is in top condition for the event, thanks to the volunteer club members. In conjunction with the Men’s Championship event, there will be an 18-hole competition for the ladies on each day. Due to the Championship event, however, the Narromine course will be closed for social play and also there will be no Club Competitions over the weekend. In other club news, there was no competition at home on Sunday, as a large contingent of members travelled to Trangie where the WDGA Championships and Inter-Club Pennants

were played. Congratulations to the Narromine No. 1 Pennant team who won the 2023 Scratch Pennant, with the members of the winning team, Adam Davis, Tony Harding, Tony Mann, Matt Brown, Rob Williams, and Duane Faro-Mann. The WDGA Singles championship was played in conjunction with this event, and Narromine’s Craig Duff was successful in running third in the event. At home on Saturday, some 16 players took part in the Narromine Hardware Two-Person Ambrose event. The winners were Steve Barlow and Ray Anning with a score of 63

with the runners-up Dan Coen and Kale Bock with a score of 63.75; making it a very close win. It wasl also good to see Ray Anning back on the course. The Nearest-to-thePin prizes went to Rob Williams on the ninth and, on the 10th, Adam Davis, who also won the Long Drive on the ﬁ rst. The Junior Clinic will be held on Sunday morning, with the course then closed for the Veterans State Championship ﬁ nal round. In closing this week — congratulations to the Narromine Jets Ladies, who won their Grand Final! That’s all for this week — see you at the 19th!

LAST Wednesday’s round drew some nine golfers to the course for the weekly Gerries golf competition. Winner on the day was Mal Richardson with a very good score of 26 points. Great round Mal, but watch your handicap drop as a result! Runner-up was Chris Harding on 25, though Ross King felt the wrath of the handicapper after winning last week, so this week was able to collect the NAGA prize with a score of 16 points. Once again, there was no winner of the Nearest-the-Pin competition, so there must be sizeable prize in the jackpot pool which is now worth winning. Another week with only one game of pool. This was between Ross King and Chris Harding against Bob Fletcher and Terry Willis. Ross and Chris were well behind, until Terry had an easy shot on the black. Unfortunately Terry, playing for a win, went in off the black, sinking both balls to lose the match. Pool Champs for the week were Ross and Chris. On this Wednesday, the Gerries played their weekly competition on the front nine with the results to appear in next week’s Narromine Star. That’s all for another week — see you at the 19th!

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE GRAND FINALS

Terriers snatch centenary title as Jets Ladies take grand final Jets rule: Ladies League Tag win GF

By BRYSON LUFF GULGONG Bull Terriers have ended their 100th year celebrations by claiming the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League First Grade Premiership after grinding-out a hardfought win against Cobar Roosters in the Grand Final at Gulgong last Saturday. Preceding the First-Grade decider, was a highly-entertaining League Tag match between Dunedoo Swannettes and the Narromine Jets, with the game not being decided until the final few seconds extra time. In what was a somewhat dour affair in the men’s final, the closeness of the two teams on the scoreboard meant that it was nonetheless exciting, with the result in the balance until the full-time siren was sounded. Points were hard to come by, with both sides guilty of being sloppy with regards to their ability to control possession, and it was not until there was only eight minutes remaining in the fi rst half that there was some activity on the scoreboard when Gulgong’s halfback and Captain-Coach, Brad James was able to score out wide to give his team a 4-0 lead which was to be the score at the half-time break. James’ opposite number, Thomas Plater, evened things up when he went-over from close range just three minutes into the second half. The Terriers, however, seemed to be winning the game in territorial terms, with the Roosters called on to do some stout goal-line defence until, fi nally, the 4-4 deadlock was broken when Gulgong’s front-rower, Jack Hart, was able to pop a beautiful pass to

his front-row partner, Blake Gorrie, who crashed over. With the try converted, Gulgong held a tenuous 10-4 lead with 11 minutes remaining. It is history now that the Terriers were able to hold on to that lead after what was a tense ﬁnish to the match and the 2023 Castlereagh League season. Their win meant that their undefeated status for the year remained intact; giving them a very convincing claim for Clayton Cup best country team honours! Preceding the First-Grade decider, was a highly-entertaining League Tag match between Dunedoo Swannettes and the Narromine Jets, with the game not being decided until the ﬁ nal few seconds of the second period of extra time.

The lead changed three times in the ﬁ rst-half, before the Swannettes went to the break narrowly ahead 14-12. The second-half saw the Jets get ahead on the scoreboard 18-14, before Dunedoo replied with a try to lock it up at 18-18 at the end of regulation time and so propel the grand ﬁ nal into extra-time. With the engrossing extra time 10 minutes almost elapsed, it appeared that the match was headed to Golden Point but, with just seconds remaining, the Jets went over wide-out and it was to be their premiership with a 22-18 victory! Earlier, the Coonabarabran Unicorns had to come from behind to win the Reserve Grade premiership, claiming a 22-16 win over Gilgandra Panthers.

Gilgandra took a 10-4 lead to the sheds at half-time after earlier scoring two impressive team tries. However, that lead soon evaporated after the resumption of play, with the Unicorns going in for three converted tries to get ahead 22-10 with just 18 minutes of the second-half having been played. The Panthers responded with a late converted try, but the Unicorns surge after halftime ensured them of a 22-16 win and the premiership! The grand ﬁ nals were watch by a large crowd and marked the end of what has been a highly-successful 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League season.

THE Narromine Jets Ladies’ League Tag Team snatched the win from the Dunedoo Swannettes in a thrilling game at Billy Dunn Oval, Gulgong, in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Grand Final on September 9. The Jets soundly defeated the Swannettes 22 to 18 with tries by Emily Edwards (2), Jacana Powell, and Lucy Dawson, and three goals to player of the match, Shian Chatﬁeld. The Swannettes had tries by Lauren Sullivan (2), Laura Shanahan, and Mia Gallagher, and a goal by Georgia Price. At half time Dunedoo led 14 to 12 but by the end of regulation time it was 18-all, sending the teams into extra time. The Jets emerged victorious, taking the win from the team that had been undefeated all season. Club president Mick Burns told the Narromine Star last week that the Ladies’ League Tag team had only lost twice this year, both times to the Swanettes, and was out to avenge those losses. The team’s win certainly banished those old ghosts to the cupboard. “They have worked hard all season, they deserve this win and we could not be prouder!” the club announced on social media after the win. With the strong showing in the league this year by the Narromine teams, we have no doubt there will be some joyous celebrating at the club presentation night this week. Well done, Narromine Jets!
