TTT 2023 breaks attendance records STORY: PAGE 12 Anne Elliott honoured as new aero club patron By SHARON BONTHUYS ANNE Elliott has become just the third woman in the 94-year history of the Narromine Aero Club to be named patron. The honour of joining Joan Shepherd and Nancy Bird Walton as the third female patron of the club that Ms Elliott regards as her “first love” is slightly overwhelming to the quietly spoken 78-year-old, whose association with the club dates back to 1968. “I am truly proud and humbled,” said Ms Elliott, who described becoming patron of the Narromine Aero Club as the greatest honour of her lifetime. The announcement was made at the club’s annual general meeting (AGM) on September 10, when Margie Collins nominated Ms Elliott for the role, which was seconded by Ewen Jones and unanimously supported. The previous patron was the late Bill Ballhausen, who passed away in early 2022. Continued page 6

Shire starts R U OK? conversations By SHARON BONTHUYS A FREE barbecue breakfast in Tom Perry Park, Narromine, on September 14 was one of thousands of events held around the country in support of R U OK? Day. The Narromine Shire Council-sponsored event attracted people of all ages and encouraged participants to consider the important message that every day is a day to meaningfully ask your friends, family, and colleagues, ‘are you OK?’ Leading mental health advocate Beyond Blue suggests that older people in the community are less likely to share their experiences of depression and anxiety. But is this changing? Some older residents attending the council barbecue think the tide has turned, and people are more willing to talk nowadays because of the spotlight on mental health and the support services readily available now that weren’t a decade or more ago. Recently retired agricultural worker Bruce Peters, 70, said the pub was a place

where many older men shared their health and other concerns with their mates. “The older you get, you do talk more, especially at the pub,” he said. His sister, Robyn Masling, 74, agreed. “I have older friends
with depression who will talk about it now who never used to before,” she said. “People are talking about [mental health].” Deputy Mayor of the Narromine Shire, Cr Dawn Collins, was one of many representatives and staff from
the council who attended the breakfast prepared by Narromine Rotary Club volunteers. She said people should be gently encouraged to talk and seek help.

By KEILEY NOBLE IT’S now been five months since I was named as the 2023 RM Williams RAS (Royal Agricultural Society NSW) Rural Achiever. Since then, I have had the absolute privilege of attending various community events and ag shows as a guest. I’ve also been invited behind the scenes a lot, allowing me to see what it really takes to bring these shows and events together. To sum it up in one word, it’s the people. The diverse, dedicated and passionate people. The ones who sit on the committees, show societies and operating boards. The ones who selflessly volunteer their time to continue legacies and bring these events to life. Without them and their volunteering efforts, our community events and ag shows would cease. Across the board a real concern for a lot of committees, though, is their continuation. A lot are voicing succession worries as they struggle to ing east to southeasterly 25 to 35 km/h during the morning.

get younger members on board. With thanks to the RAS I recently attended the Agricultural Shows Australia 2023 Conference in Adelaide. The conference was themed ‘showing into the future’. Jennifer Giesike, CEO of the Washington Town and Country Fair was invited as an internal keynote speaker. Jennifer gave us the most amazing presentation on working with volunteers from different generations. I thought it would be good to share some of my key takeaways from that aimed at attracting and retaining those in their 20’s and 30’s. We all generalise 20 to 30-year-olds as being tech savvy and confident. They are often at stages of their lives where they are looking to grow their skills to enhance their career opportunities, and develop friendships within their communities. They enjoy being part of something and giving back. This generation is, however, busy and overscheduled. So how can you get them involved in your organisation? Be flexible. It sounds simple but en-

suring your meetings can be dialled into online, or occur at a time that is generally after work, will help make joining your committee as an accessible option to them. Talk about your organisation and roles within it, like an employer would. If you can link volunteer positions to skills and development opportunities, you would encourage the interest of this demographic. Approach individuals one on one. If you think they would be a good fit, tell them. This generation loves personalisation, acknowledgement and appreciation. And fi nally, make it fun and make them feel welcomed. If meetings and events are enjoyable and they genuinely feel like they are contributing, they will want to stay involved and continue volunteering. Ultimately, this is what we want! Thank you to our hardworking volunteers who make our community based events in regional and rural NSW happen. If you aren’t currently involved in assisting with a community organisation, I challenge you to join one.

Shire starts R U OK? conversations

Brian Masling, Robyn Masling and Bruce Peters. From page 1 “Some people hold things back because of pride. It’s less embarrassing [nowadays] to ask for help,” Cr Collins said. Mrs Masling said she was particularly concerned for young people experiencing mental health issues and was pleased that the Narromine Shire Council held the free breakfast to promote awareness to the wider community. “I think it’s an amazing gesture,” she said. The Narromine Star spoke to teens Bridgett and Ruby McDonnell who attended the breakfast with parents Jason and Sally. Bridgett McDonnell said her school was very supportive of student mental health. It was good to see families stopping by to enjoy the breakfast, and talking with others about the national day of action that reminds us all of the importance of staying connected. This year’s R U OK? theme is ‘I’m here to hear’. R U OK? CEO Katherine Newton wants Australians to let the people they care about know they’re here – to really hear – because a conversation could change a life. “For an R U OK? conversation to be life-changing and

potentially lifesaving, it must be authentic,” said Ms Newton. “You need to ask this question because you mean it, because you care about the person you’re asking and because you genuinely want to listen to the answer. “R U OK? conversations work best when two people know and trust each other. They’re familiar with each other’s routines and behaviours, and they likely know what’s going on in each other’s lives,” she said. “This trust, along with consideration of the where and when a conversation will take place contributes to making an R U OK? conversation truly meaningful.” Narromine’s 2023 Citizen of the Year, Sally Everett, said R U OK? Day was an important reminder that talking about mental health helped reduce stigma and encouraged people to reach out. “[Events like this] help normalise the conversation about mental health,” Mrs Everett said.
The stats aren’t good…

by the Social Research Centre, shows almost one in three people with a mental health condition that impacts their life are unlikely to reach out for support. Almost 40 per cent of people delay seeking support due to costs, and sadly, 24 per cent of people surveyed thought their problem wasn’t serious enough. Beyond Blue CEO Georgie Harman says the data is concerning given the deep impact of poor mental health and suicide on people, families and communities. “People need to know accessing support early, before they reach crisis point, can help alleviate stress, worry and isolation, and prevent depression and anxiety from getting worse. My message is don’t wait, don’t hesitate,” Ms Harman said. Nearly 80 per cent of people who contacted Beyond Blue’s Support Service reported an immediate reduction in distress, and ongoing feelings of reduced distress two weeks later.

Time for a social media detox? NEW research by Compare the Market (CTM) has revealed that 39 per cent of Australians are cutting back on their social media habits in a bid to improve their mental health. Over 1,000 Australians were surveyed in August 2023, revealing that many were embarking on a social media detox because they were: f wasting too much time(9 per cent) f concerned about too many negative posts that brought down their mood (5.4 per cent) f keen to see their friends more in real life and less online (4 per cent) f not getting many likes or attention online (2.7 per cent) f getting trolled and had deleted one or more of their socials (2.4 per cent), or f actively trying to cut back on their social media usage (15 per cent). CTM’s Phillip Portman said the social media detox trend hasn’t quite taken the nation by storm but could well be on the way. “For many of us, social media is an important part of our dayto-day lives,” Mr Portman said. “It was a great tool during

the pandemic that allowed us to stay connected with our friends and family when we were locked down. Now there’s a fear of missing out if you’re not on social media or haven’t checked your socials to see what your friends have been up to.” Mr Portman’s five tips for a social media detox: f Tell your circle you’re taking a break so they don’t “freak out” by your absence f Turn off social media notifications so you only see them when you log in to the app, or delete apps you want to take a break from f Detox with a buddy, as having someone to detox with might be easier than doing it alone f Try something new - pick up a new hobby or activity that doesn’t involve social media that makes you feel good f Create a “mood journal” to jot down changes in your mood as you detox.

Australia’s first skin check truck is coming
The truck contains a memorial wall featuring the faces of those lost to skin cancer. By SHARON BONTHUYS AUSTRALIA’S first ever mobile skin check truck will spend two days in Narromine next month providing free checks to anyone who wants one. The unique mobile service will visit Narromine in the fi rst week of October to promote local awareness of the importance of skin cancer detection and treatment. Funded by the not-forprofit Australian Skin Cancer Foundation (ASCF), the truck was launched in June 2023 and has a hectic visiting schedule that includes rural and regional areas. Narromine-based director of the ASCF, Sally Everett, was instrumental in adding

Narromine to the visit schedule and is thrilled that the skin check truck is coming to her hometown. “This is something I’m so passionate about after losing my dad to melanoma,” Mrs Everett said. “Accessibility and affordability of skin checks in regional and rural areas, including ours, is a real concern, and this service is extremely important as early detection is key to saving lives. “I would like as many people as possible to get their skin checked. It’s free. Just turn up and get your skin checked.” With the Western NSW Local Health District coming in at number five on the “NSW Melanoma Hotspots” list according to the Cancer Insti-
tute NSW, there is every reason for local residents to take advantage of the free skin checks offered by the visiting ASCF service. Two qualified and specially trained nurses will conduct the skin checks, and refer people on to doctors for further checks where issues may be identified, Mrs Everett said. When Mrs Everett personally had a free skin check carried out during the launch of the mobile service, the nurse identified something which turned out to be a very early-stage basal cell carcinoma, which was able to be immediately treated. “My GP was super impressed [with the issue being identified during the skin check] and I’ll pass that on to the nurse when

Her own personal diagnosis felt “quite surreal” given the deeply sad personal experience of losing her father, Lionel McGuire, to melanoma in November 2021. The ASCF truck is a former Breast Screen van that has been repurposed and refitted with two treatment rooms for skin checks to be carried out. The truck visited Canberra on September 11 where ASCF CEO, Jay Allen OAM, met with the federal Minister for Health and Aged Care, the Hon. Mark Butler MP, Mrs Everett said. It follows a recent pre-budget submission made by the foundation in late August seeking support for a national advertising campaign to improve Australians’ understanding of
skin cancer. Improving understanding and awareness is what it’s all about, said Mrs Everett. “The skin check truck will be here in conjunction with the annual charity day I organise in honor of my dad to create awareness and education of the importance of sun protection and regular skin checks,” Mrs Everett said. The “Mission Melanoma: Doing It For Lionel” three-person ambrose golf tournament will be held at the Narromine golf course and further information can be found by following the blog of the same name on social media. Mrs Everett’s message to residents is simple: “Early detection is the key.”

Mobility aids not so simple to use
Seniors attending the informative session on mobility aids on September 14. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
THE humble walking stick might not look like much but it means a lot to someone who needs it for stability, support and security when moving around. Narromine seniors learnt about the importance of choosing and using the right type of walking sticks and other mobility aids like wheelie walkers during the fi nal of four “ageing well” seminars on September 14. Physiotherapist Lee Bible demonstrated different types of walking sticks, including single-point sticks and “quad canes” at the informative session which was attended by 12 people at the Narromine Community Health Building. She stressed the importance of ensuring that walking sticks were suited to the person’s height and weight, and showed how some could be adjusted.
aid users funded by the Dunhill Medical Trust in 2020 showed that incorrect use of mobility aids put users at higher risks of falls, particularly in the home environment. This is of concern given that fall-related injuries are increasing in older people living at home and the cost of treating those injuries is high, the study said. After breaking her hip in a fall outdoors at home in December 2021, Narromine resident Jean Beahan now uses a four-pronged (quad cane) device for stability when walking, which she fi nds difficult to use at times. “My feet get caught sometimes [in between the four prongs] as I walk,” she said. The broken hip compounded existing mobility issues for Mrs Beahan who suffered a stroke in 2008 which impacted her right side. Feeling secure as she moves about is very important to Mrs Beahan.

THE stability of wheelie walk-

ers is also an issue of concern for seniors, said Ms Bible, who demonstrated how some older people were incorrectly using the device. Bending over and pushing the walker in front means a person is not very stable on their feet as it is too far from their body to provide support. Ideally, the walker helps manage the weight of the user through the arms and upper body when upright, which need to be in close proximity to the walker. Incorrect use of the device, particularly when turning and sitting, could result in a fall as it keeps the device away from the body while the person is turning and potentially off-balance. The walker should be used right up until the point of sitting to provide maximum support and stability, Ms Bible said. “80 per cent of keeping upright is vision,” she said, recommending that walker users not focus on their feet, but rather, what was in front of them as they used the device.
When choosing a walker, Ms Bible said people should consider things like the size of the wheels and overall weight of the device. Some walkers are simply too heavy for many older people to lift and may be awkward to use. One participant commented that wheelie walkers were difficult to manage at railway crossings, in particular. “They are no good on the railway lines. You have to lift them over.”
The importance of exercising MS Bible also stressed the importance of exercising in addition to walking. “Walking [on its own] is not enough,” she said, listing a number of simple but effective exercises for strength and balance to assist users of mobility devices. These included lowering legs up and down, standing and sitting, heel and leg side-raises, and walking heel to toe. Navigating difficult ter-

rain like steps and ramps also needed to be considered in the context of the mobility devices being used.
Safe navigation suggestions
EVENT organiser Julie Davis prompted a discussion among the attendees about safe navigation with walking devices. Suggestions to help older people move about with their mobility devices included: f Performing a risk assessment before going anywhere to ensure the path is clear f Asking for assistance to navigate escalators or travelators where a lift is not present f Installing gadgets such as sensor lighting in the home to help show the way at night f Leaving internal doors open that don’t need to be closed f Wearing well-fitted footwear to help maintain traction while walking, and f Managing pets in the home so that they don’t become trip hazards.

Anne Elliott honoured as new aero club patron
Anne Elliott is the third woman to be named patron of the Narromine Aero Club in the club’s 94-year history. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. From page 1 Ms Elliott’s 55-year association with the club has included being involved in airshows, reunions and the aero club scene at Narromine. But her interest in all things aviation began much earlier as a small child, when she migrated from England with her parents Albert and Ev Rollitt in 1950, just before her sixth birthday. Her father would bring her to the Narromine aerodrome if there was something happening. “I grew to love it,” she said. Ms Elliott’s involvement in the local aviation community over time has been extensive. “In 1983, planning commenced for a reunion of overseas and national air force personnel who were stationed in Narromine during the World War II years. I took on the job
of honorary secretary [and] the reunion was held on September 29-30, 1984,” she said. She also served stints in executive positions at the club, including assistant secretary. In 2013, Ms Elliott became the fi rst female president to be elected to the Narromine Aero Club. Gliding has been another great love since she was fi rst introduced to it in late 1990, beginning a long association with the sport that continues today. She trained with Soar Narromine and flew her fi rst solo fl ight a year later. She also served as secretary of Orana Soaring/Narromine Gliding Club for a decade. “In 1999 I was asked to take on the role of sub-editor of the Gliding Australia magazine, which was distributed to all members of the Gliding Fed-

eration of Australia (GFA) nationally and worldwide,” Ms Elliott said. She held that role until 2011, and received the GFA JR (Bob) Muller award for ‘Outstanding contribution to the promotion or publicity of gliding in Australia’ in 2009. Despite being heavily involved in aviation administration through her involvement with gliding and the Aero Club over the years, Ms Elliott was still able to fi nd time to hit the skies. “I was still able to enjoy my passion for flying after purchasing a vintage 1960 two-seater glider with my (now late) partner Keith Dixon, and spending as much time in that as possible,” Ms Elliott said. A former Narromine Aero Club board member, tug
pilot, ultralight and gliding instructor, and former president of the Narromine Gliding Club, Mr Dixon passed away two years ago and his loss is still keenly felt by Ms Elliott. When asked what her partner of 25 years would think about her being honoured with the patronage of the club they both have had such a long association with, the response was soft and humble: “In his way, he would be so proud and happy for me, and my mum and dad would be [too],” she said. President of the Narromine Aero Club, Stewart Hignett, said Anne Elliott joins other well known local identities who have served as patron, including Tom Perry, Neil Johnston, Colin Pay, Bill Ballhausen and Keith Powell. All
of these people have had long standing and close relationships with the club, he said. He welcomed Ms Elliott’s appointment and said that her knowledge and experience with club matters are a great asset to the 100-member club. Others appointed at the AGM on September 10 include Stewart Hignett (president), Lloyd Galloway (vice-president); John MacCallum (secretary), Paul McCallum (treasurer), and committee members Samantha Hignett, Pam McCallum, Ben Sherratt, Brad Naylor and Margie Collins. Congratulations to Anne Elliott on her special honour, and to the incoming executive and committee members to lead the club for another year.

Local authors showcased at writers’ festival By SHARON BONTHUYS TWO Narromine authors had the opportunity to display and talk about their published works during the author showcase at the Dubbo Writers’ Festival earlier this month. Bush bard and author of two poetry collections, Geoff Smith, and myself, with four published children’s books, joined 12 other authors from around regional NSW at the event, which was held at the Macquarie Regional Library on September 8. The author showcase was the fi rst event in the Dubbo Writers’ Festival program which ran from September 8-10. The festival is staged annually in Dubbo by the Outback Writers’ Centre. A wide variety of genres were exhibited at the showcase including speculative fiction, science fiction, children’s, young adult, fantasy, domestic noir, family history, and memoir. Visitors to the showcase were able to speak to the authors about their work and buy copies, which the authors personally signed. The showcase preceded an excellent ‘in conversation with’ chat between popular crime novelist Candice Fox and Dubbo screen industry identity, writer, producer and ‘fi xer’, Kellie Jennar. Dubbo mayor Matthew Dickerson was among those who attended the library for these events. Other events at the festival included skills development workshops conducted by Candice Fox, story consultations with publishing industry professionals Rochelle Fernandez and Lynda Nix, a dinner and a panel assessing the opening lines of unpublished work with a view to helping authors develop their submission-readiness to approach publishers. It was the fi rst author showcase for both Mr Smith and myself, and we enjoyed the opportunity to display and discuss our work. Mr Smith’s newly published poetry collection, “Australian Bush Poetry,” was very popular and can now be found locally in store at Dubbo’s own treasure trove of good literature, The Book Connection.

No changing of the guard as mayor and deputy reelected By ANDREW TARRY NARROMINE Shire Council re-elected mayor Craig Davies and deputy mayor Dawn Collins, both unopposed, at last week’s September 13 council meeting. The necessity for the positions to be fi lled has come about due to the postponement to the Ordinary Election of December 2021. Generally, mayors and deputy mayors elected by councillors hold their positions for two years, however due to the postponement, and the next ordinary election taking place in September 2024, an inter-
im election was required to ensure that the positions would be fi lled in the ensuing 12 months. This makes the current term for the mayor and deputy a shorter term with both positions declared vacant once again to hold the vote in September 2024. Mayor Craig Davies, who has been the Narromine Shire Council mayor for the past seven years said he was delighted to have the support of councillors to continue in the role. “As a group of elected members, we have a big responsibility as our
community expects strong and effective representation,” said mayor Davies. “I look forward to progressing with the list of projects in the council’s operational plan over the next 12 months.” Cr Collins said it was a privilege and an honour to be re-elected as deputy mayor. Narromine Shire Council’s general manager, Jane Redden said “I would like to thank all of the elected members for their commitment to the community and council over the past two years.”

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Trangie branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) held a successful streetside cafe on September 15 to celebrate CWA Awareness Week. Many Trangie residents enjoyed the opportunity to have a delicious morning tea at the Dandaloo Street kiosk for a gold coin donation, and talk with the CWA volunteers about their work in the community. President Pat Riley said the branch members were pleased to be able to hold another streetside cafe, which had been impacted by the pandemic in recent years. “It’s good to be back,” she said. The cooking skills of branch members were well appreciated by those who stopped by for a cuppa and a chat. Cream puffs, pikelets, cookies, patty cakes and fruit loaf were on offer, as well as tea and coffee.
The Narromine Star team enjoyed having coffee and cake with the youngest member of Trangie CWA, Alex Gartside. Ms Gartside, 30, decided to join the CWA when she saw what the hardworking ladies were achieving in the community and wanted to be part of that. “I enjoyed the ladies telling me about what they were doing and I liked that organised structure. I have learned so much from Pat [Riley], and Jessie [Quigley] and the other members. I have felt comfortable and happy being in CWA,” she said. Ms Gartside also represented the Trangie branch at the state CWA conference in Bathurst in May, where many policy decisions for the wider organisation were made. “I liked hearing about all the different issues, the debates and the voting on different things [at the state conference],” she said.
One of the important policy items from the Bathurst conference included this year’s organisation-wide focus on neurodiversity, particularly those living in rural and remote areas where accessing diagnosis and treatment is more difficult than in urban areas. The Trangie branch supports the motion made at the state conference to draw attention to the plight of those living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome and other such neurodivergent conditions. The NSW CWA has played a pivotal role in advocating for change in many areas since its inception in 1922. This has included the introduction of compulsory seatbelts, the white lines along the edge of highways, the compulsory wearing of bicycle helmets, reflective strips along train carriages, flashing lights in school zones and safety bars on quad bikes,
along with myriad other initiatives that have contributed to the community’s continued wellbeing, including: f increasing living away from home allowances for geographically isolated students f promoting wool as “Australian”, with a clear logo on all goods containing wool f consulting with rural organisations and individuals before governments make policies impacting agricultural production f providing free mammograms for all women over 40 for the early detection of breast cancer f making heart checks and bone density tests available under Medicare, and f professionally trained staff to respond promptly to provide services for children at risk. Now in its 95th year, the Trangie CWA branch continues to support the local community. It has awarded thou-
sands of dollars in education grants to local school students and supports local schools. It has also worked to raise funds for a number of local charities including cancer support and Macquarie Homestay.
Most recently, the Trangie branch ran the popular tea rooms at the highly successful Trangie Truck and Tractor Show last month. The branch also provides regular morning teas for the elderly residents of Currajong Court and will look to hold another street stall in December.
In short, the Trangie CWA is doing great things. The branch meets monthly in the evening with a Zoom option for those unable to attend in person. If you would like to know more about joining the branch, contact Pat Riley or Amanda Ferrari. Details are on the CWA website.

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton joined his coalition colleagues to oppose changes to the Murray Darling Basin Plan which would negatively affect regional communities. PHOTO: PARKES ELECTORATE.
Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK ral Member Federal arkes for Parkes
Labor’s basin plan will cost us I JOINED my coalition colleagues in parliament recently to speak up as a group against Labor’s disastrous move to re-introduce water buybacks into the Murray Darling Basin Plan regardless of the economic impact on agricultural communities. This press conference followed on from a roundtable discussion with representatives from horticulture, agriculture and irrigation industries who have grave concerns about the effects of these changes. The Water Amendments, Restoring Our River Act introduced by the Labor government will severely impact agriculture, in turn pushing up the price of food and fibre even further than is already the case. One-third of the Murray Darling Basin sits within the electorate of Parkes and is critical not only for our environment but for many local economies, and Labor have not taken this into account. This is yet another example of the current Labor government having no idea about the practical implications of their policies, which prioritise ideology over practicality at great cost to everyday Australians.

Matobo’s debut highlights Jesus saved the plight of endangered rhinos thief on the BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS
cross —“today you will be with me in paradise”
Growing boy! Juvenile Black Rhino, Matobo, has spent the past four months bonding behind-the-scenes with mum Kufara, but can now be seen by Western Plains Zoo guests these school holidays. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. RECENT debut at Taronga Western Plains Zoo of a Southern Black Rhino calf, Matobo, highlights the plight of these endangered, wonderful animals with Friday, September 22 declared “World Rhino Day”. Dubbo is the only zoo in Australia to hold and breed three species of the endangered megafauna — the Black, White, and Greater One-Horned Rhino. Born using a world-fi rst reproductive treatment in April 2023, Matobo spent the past four months bonding behind-thescenes with mum Kufara, but can now be seen by Zoo guests. “Matobo and Kufara are now out on our main Black Rhino paddock and while they were a bit shy to start with, Matobo is getting more confident each and every day,” Black Rhino Keeper, Jake Williams said. “He’s a big boy now, about 250 kilograms, and starting to eat mum’s food… hay and goodies like sweet potato, carrots, and bananas; he’s out there, running around with mum in the mornings, exploring his world and is meeting all the milestones we like to see,” he added. In more rhino news, Southern White Rhino calf Jabulani, born in June, can also be seen on the White Rhino paddock and, on Friday, September 22, the Zoo will celebrate “World Rhino Day” with three keeper talks to take place across the day. But it’s not all good news for one of the world‘s surviving megafauna species. Rhino populations have dropped by an estimated 95% over the past two centuries, driven by human impact including poaching, illegal wildlife trade and habitat fragmentation. Three of the five rhino species
are critically endangered and there are predicted to be fewer than 80 Sumatran and Javan Rhinos left on the planet, which means they could be extinct in our lifetime. The biggest threat rhinos face is poaching for their horn, which is used in some traditional medicines even though there’s no scientific proof of their efficacy (that they work!) Rhino horn is made of keratin – the same as our human hair and fi ngernails. The only animal with any use for these horns are the rhinos that grow them! Taronga is a founding member of the International Rhino Foundation (IRF). Taronga actively supports conservation efforts for wild rhinos in Africa, Indonesia and India, providing funds and support with the International Rhino Foundation for anti-poaching and wildlife protection units, habitat protection and restoration, and expertise in veterinary care and reproduction to ensure all rhino species continue to survive in the wild. Black Rhino Status: Critically endangered Population: more than 6000 Black Rhinos live in Africa, primarily in grasslands, savannahs and tropical bush lands. Black Rhinos have a uniquely shaped, pointy (prehensile) upper lip to help them pull leaves off branches, bushes and shrubs. Did you know? Taronga operates the world’s largest breeding program for Southern Black Rhino outside of mainland Africa. Taronga is a proud founding member of the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), and Taronga Western Plains Zoo is home to the largest conservation breeding program for Southern Black Rhino outside of mainland Africa. This program is delivering new
and exciting advancements in reproductive research – including the world-fi rst reproductive technology that resulted in our most recent birth, Kufara’s calf Matobo, in April 2023. Greater One-horned Rhino Status: Vulnerable Population: More than 4000 The Greater One-horned Rhino is the biggest of the rhino species, and can weigh up to 3000kg! Taronga Western Plains Zoo is home to three Greater One horned R hinos, including cal f Hari who turns two in Octo ber 2 02 3, and already weighs over 1,10 0kg! Southern White Rhino Status: Near threatened Population: Less than 16,000 Taronga Western Plains Zoo is home to six White Rhinos, including calf Jabulani who was born in June 2023. How you can help Taronga actively supports conservation efforts for wild rhinos in Africa, Indonesia and India, providing funds and support with the International Rhino Foundation for anti-poaching and wildlife protection units, habitat protection and restoration, and expertise in veterinary care and reproduction to ensure all rhino species continue to survive in the wild. Taronga is not-for-profit, so whether you visit, stay overnight, donate, become a Zoo Parent, book an unforgettable behind the scenes experience or buy a gift for a loved one, every dollar you spend has the power to protect wildlife like rhinos.

ONE of the criminals who hung there on the cross beside Jesus hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the criminal hanging on the other side of Jesus rebuked the first criminal. Don’t you fear God, he asked: “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:39–43). Three men were crucified that day. A criminal hung on either side of Jesus. One of these criminals didn’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah. He challenged Jesus to prove his power by saving himself and the two criminals. But the other criminal was amazed by Jesus. How strange to see the truth about Jesus while both were dying on a cross. God opened this criminal’s eyes to see that Jesus was innocent of any crimes. The criminal marveled at Jesus’ sacrifice. So he respectfully and humbly asked Jesus to remember him. At the same time, Jesus knew that this criminal had done some serious wrongs. The criminal was getting the punishment he deserved. As soon as the man opened his heart to Jesus, his past didn’t matter. Jesus immediately forgave him of all his sin. He saved the man minutes before they both died. Today, that man is in paradise with Jesus. This shows us just how merciful and forgiving Jesus is. He is so full of Love, that his fi rst response is to forgive anyone who repents. No one’s past stands in the way of Jesus’ grace. Remember, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. He is not here; He has risen! “The Son
of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.” (Luke 24:6–7). If you’ve never had surgery, the thought of it might be terrifying. But if someone you know and trust has had surgery, and tells you what to expect and that there is nothing to be afraid of, surgery wouldn’t seem so scary, would it? Jesus knew that his death, burial, and resurrection would be hard for his disciples to believe or understand. The coming events would be scary, and his followers might doubt he was the promised Messiah. So he taught them what God’s Word said about what would happen to the Messiah. Later, when Jesus had come back to life, he reminded his followers. “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfi lled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Out of deep compassion for his friends and because he didn’t want them to fear, Jesus told them what would happen. He wanted them to be encouraged, even though those awful things had to happen. He would defeat Death and Rise Again! Jesus speaks to us through the Bible about what is to come. Even when situations are awful or we don’t understand what’s going on, there is nothing to fear, because He loves us and has an amazing plan. PRAYER: “Dear Jesus, please help us to trust you and not doubt even when we don’t understand what’s going on around us. Thank you Lord for saving all of us that sincerely call out to you with their hearts. We thank you Lord for having mercy on us. Amen.” By THE REVEREND BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE, ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF BATHURST

TTT 2023 breaks attendance records
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.
At the AGM for TTT on September 18. By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Trangie Truck and Tractor (TTT) Show returned in style late last month, breaking previous attendance records by 80 per cent as over 4,500 people headed to the showgrounds for what is becoming a truly iconic biennial event. First held in 2019, the pandemic restrictions sadly forced the cancellation of the second planned TTT in 2021. The organisers, a committee of local volunteers from a range of industries and occupations, were thrilled at the groundswell of interest in the August 19, 2023 event which saw attendance numbers almost double from the 2019 event. At the TTT committee’s annual general meeting on September 18, the success of the event was discussed and it was agreed that they had managed to stage an event that was nothing short of spectacular. TTT president Jason Mc-
Cutcheon thanked the committee members for their efforts in making the show a success. The packed program began on Friday, August 18 with Beers and Gears, dinner and a Hall of Fame presentation to Malcolm Hitchcock, Jack Bonham and Robert Calder. The next day, gates opened early for market stalls to set up, with the fi rst entrants and visitors arriving from 8.00 am. Through the day, a packed program of events unfolded including a Tractor Pull, Speed Shear, Car Barrel Racing, and Demolition Derby. The stars of the show, of course, were the machines. If you liked wheels, there were plenty of them at TTT. About 250 trucks were on display and 130 tractors as well as more than 70 cars and bikes. The day ended with a well-attended music concert that ran late into the night. TTT not only brought thousands of people to Trangie,
but also meant that the entire community, including local businesses and social groups, benefited from the event. The Trangie Country Women’s Association (CWA) branch staffed the popular Tea Rooms at TTT, providing freshly baked scones all day while the Trangie Central School’s barbecue barely stopped by all accounts. The Trangie Automobile Club members also worked tirelessly across the day to support the event, directing traffic and helping on the gate. “A few more events [were added] this year so that we could try to fi ll everyone’s appetite for something to do and watch,” Mr McCutcheon reported at the AGM. “We saw the addition of a Car Barrel Race where cars tried to navigate the course in record time and also a Speed Shear where contestants managed to remove a fleece in mere seconds.
“This year’s event saw the return of the Tractor Pull and I am always amazed that the grandstands are always full while the tractors attempt to get every last horsepower and rev out of the tractor while pulling the sled. “We fi nished off the day with an amazing concert, with Adam Brand and Ballz n All Band belting out some of their favourite hits. It was a great way to fi nish off a successful day,” Mr McCutcheon said. After an exhausting event, a grateful committee posted its thanks on social media. “The TTT committee would like to thank the very long list of volunteers that helped to make this… event happen. “For a small group of people putting an event like this together it takes a lot of endless hours of planning, organising bookings, preparation, coordinating and checking to see that we are meeting regulations and providing an event
that people want to come to. “We have a wonderful committee that never expected to be able to provide an event that has people talking and looking forward to the next TTT in 2025.” Fresh from the AGM this week, the TTT committee will take a short hiatus now before meeting again in the new year to start planning the next show which will take place in August 2025. The committee will also further progress its plans to use funds raised through the biennial TTT to build a truck and tractor museum in Trangie. The committee estimates that it may take as much as $1million to build the type of museum they envisage for Trangie – one that will add value to the town and honour the heavy vehicle industry that helps keep Australia’s agricultural industries moving.

Early practice for national aerobatics comp By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH the National Aerobatic and Freestyle Championships due to be held in Narromine early next month, a group of nine keen pilots took the opportunity for some early practice at the Narromine Aerodrome last weekend. One of those getting in some practice ahead of the nationals was Ray Pearson, Secretary/Treasurer of the NSW chapter of the Australian Aerobatics Club (AAC), and who is also a member of the national AAC executive. “It’s a chance to fi ne tune our manoeuvres before the nationals,” he said of the practice session, which enabled people on the ground to guide the pilots by radio to help them perfect their turns, spins and other in-fl ight actions. The visitors enjoyed perfect weather for their practice sessions, which were carried out over the weekend. Mr Pearson said it looked like the good weather would continue to be the trend for the lead up to the event, which will take place

right after the Dolly Festival. “As long as the wind doesn’t get too strong, it should be perfect. At this time of year the strong south-westerly
winds from August have gone and we’ve got north-westerly winds now,” he said. Mr Pearson said that with the support and agreement of
the Narromine Shire Council, the event organisers had been able to place and paint permanent markers at the Narromine aerodrome which will
make it much easier for future competitions and training to be held locally. “This will bring us to Narromine more often,” he said. Mr Pearson said 35 competitors had registered to date, but this could be expected to reach 40 by the time the national championships start on October 3. Competitors are expected to start arriving during the Dolly Festival for the weeklong competition. With all the action contained to a defi ned space above the Narromine Aerodrome, the event will provide spectacular viewing opportunities for aviation fans. The Narromine Aero Club will be open during the event, which occurs during the fi nal week of school holidays, and club president Stewart Hignett said spectators are welcome . “People are more than welcome to come and have a look. Last time the state comps were on here, one family brought a picnic down and set up on the grass under a tree,” Mr Hignett said.

Trangie tennis club celebrates new courts By SHARON BONTHUYS
TRANGIE Tennis Club celebrated the completion of refurbishment work on its ageing courts last weekend with a barbecue, a few informal games, and a special presentation. Club members and supporters of all ages gathered on Saturday morning at the newly fi nished courts, which have been undergoing a major facelift in recent months as part of the wider $900,000 Trangie Sporting Precinct project involving the playing courts and nearby aquatic centre. The town now has new tennis courts, two new netball courts, a multipurpose court, with the addition of new fencing, lights and grandstands. Work on the nearby aquatic centre, including installation of a pool blanket, heat pumps, solar panels, additional shade and replacement pool ladders, is expected to be completed shortly. President of the Trangie Tennis Club, Maddie Bretag, welcomed everyone to the official opening of the courts following the completion of works by Narromine Shire Council. “It’s a big relief because we have been playing on [substandard] surfaces,” Ms Bretag said, indicating the new courts will support the development of the local children’s and adult tennis programs. Ms Bretag said she hoped the refurbished courts would attract new interest in local tennis and increase membership of the club, which has about 70 members. Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies, said it was great to see the courts ready for use. “It’s really pleasing to see what an incredible development we have here. This will last for decades,” he said. Cr Davies joined Ms Bretag to honour a long standing club member and supporter, Maureen Coffee, with life membership of the Trangie Tennis Club. Ms Coffee was presented with a special pin and invited to cut the ribbon on the gates to the new facility. Bob Terry, 6, was fi rst on the new courts after the ribbon cutting, playing a game with brother Caige, 7. Ms Coffee, 75, then joined another club stalwart and life member, Tom Barclay, 78, in christening the new courts with a short game. Mr Barclay received his life membership of the club in 1999 and said that Ms Coffee’s recognition was “long overdue.” Ms Coffee was delighted to receive life membership of the club and thrilled to see the beautiful new courts now in use. “I never thought I’d live to see these [new] courts,” Ms Coffee said. “We used to have ten courts at one point. The clubhouse was built when we had big three-day tournaments.” However, Ms Coffee and other longtime supporters of the club, Pat Skinner, Sandra Stoker and Noelene Rose, are concerned about keeping the newly refurbished site free from vandalism. They pointed out graffiti on the shed door and evidence of imprints and drawings made with sticks in the new faux-grass surface of the tennis courts. “People need to know this is happening here and it’s not acceptable,” Ms Coffee said. “This has been happening since the new courts were built,” said Ms Stoker.

Footy sea of colour at NPS fundraiser IT’S a way of showing your sporting loyalties while raising money for a good cause, with the playground at Narromine Public School a sea of colour for the recent SRC-hosted Footy Colours Day. Pupils brought a gold coin donation to dress in their favourite team colours, as students and staff participated in a guessing competition to see how far a football was kicked. All funds raised were donated to the Fight Cancer Foundation to help fund patient accommodation for more than 1000 families each year, as well as cancer research into better treatments and outcomes for people of all ages.

Hundreds raised at Narromine Hospital Auxiliary Street Stall By ANNE SHEARMAN, SECRETARY NARROMINE Hospital Auxiliary recently held one of its very successful Spring Street Stalls, in the process, raising money for our local hospital. The kiosk was fi lled with the smell of freshly-baked cakes and goodies as members of the auxiliary and community outdid themselves with a most successful display of cooking. The shelves were also wellstocked with cakes, slices and biscuits, as well as jam, honey, and eggs. Other bric-a-brac included
plants, books, sewing items donated by community members, and even home-made knitwear. The hard-working auxiliary members were overwhelmed with the support they received from so many members of the community. A huge “thank-you” also to those who donated, even the smallest thing to the stand, which is much-appreciated. Thanks also to Coles for their most-generous donation of gift cards for the raffle. All told, the stall made around $1300 for the hospital which will go towards purchasing new equipment and to update the old.

Special NAIDOC event, farewell, Ms Newman!
Fond farewell for retiring staff member, Ms Kerry Newman, from St Augustine’s Parish School.
Ms Kerry Newman was farewelled as part of the St Augustine’s Parish School’s NAIDOC week celebrations with a very moving unveiling of the “Ms Newman Yarning Circle”. IT was a very special day for a very special lady at St Augustine’s last Thursday, with retiring staff member, Ms Kerry Newman, farewelled as part of the Narromine School’s NAIDOC week celebrations. Many local Narromine Elders were in attendance with Aboriginal Education Officer, Mrs Merindah Wilson, one of the official guests from Catholic Education, Wilcannia-Forbes. The morning began with a very moving unveiling of the “Ms Newman Yarning Circle” with a Smoking Ceremony led by Rob Burns. School Captains, Eddie
Irons and Addison Hunt, also made a presentation and speech to Ms Newman with the Parents and Friends, the past-principal, Mrs Jan Colmer, and the school community all presenting gifts to acknowledge her 21-years of wonderful service. A morning tea, including a delicious cake, was then enjoyed by the school community. “Thank you, Ms Newman”! Correction: In the school’s column last week, the caption should have read: “Henry Redden for the Year Four Christian Living award.” Apologies!

Come and Try Night success at Narromine Little Athletics
NARROMINE BOWLING CLUB
Nominations sought for Zone Pairs and Singles
Reward for effort, Narromine Little Athletics club ran its end-of-year presentation last Thursday night, where a number of children were presented with age championships as well as participation awards.
By RICK BOHM FOR those interested in entering some keen competitions, nominations for the Zone Pairs and Singles championships, are now on the Noticeboard. With Narromine also hosting the Senior Singles events, the Club should get a bit of interest from our champion elder brigade. With the venues for the Open and Reserve Pairs events being held at nearby venues, travel shouldn’t be an issue if any teams want to “have a go”. In other news, the Dolly Parton Festival is only a few weeks away with the Club’s part of the activities commencing on the Friday evening with Bare Foot Bowls tourney; a buffet Chinese meal; and some good-old country music, supplied by the musician, Crash. Social Bowls this week also saw a very good field going around on the Thursday with the day’s winners Kerry Martin, Bob Davis, and Dave McNair, with Clifton Harris, James Coen, and Robbie Stanford, claiming the runners-up cheque. Richard Hyde, Greg Wright, and Terry McDonald also did just enough to be awarded third spot. The jackpot prize pool of $420 went to Cliffy, James, and Robbie, a result well-received by the team, but not so excited were the remaining players upon learning that James Coen’s fi rst game on a Thursday for a number of years, resulted in him claiming “their jackpot!” Sunday’s “chook run” returned to normalcy with just the usual suspects in attendance, which meant Carl More was in the winner’s circle as usual, alongside regular, Ray Anthony. Have members seen the new signs on the Club’s front-fence? To the sponsors who have leased the signs, a big “thankyou” and, hopefully both parties will benefit from this clever use of space. Well, that’s it for me for any week — hope to see you all up at the Club!
NARROMINE Little Athletics held a ‘come and try’ night last Thursday at Payten Park in Narromine, which saw around 20 families come along with their children to have a go and potentially join the season. Activities on the night included Tiny Tots, 3–5 year olds who joined in with long jump, parachute games, and 50-metre running race. Other activities for the older children included trying-out the shot put, the 100-metres race, and the long jump. Club President, Tanya Harding, was extremely pleased with the turnout and hoped that this year will see an influx of families joining the club with their kids out on the oval com-
peting for their personal best and having lots of fun while socialising with other team members. “The next ‘come try night’ is in the fi rst week of October, so bring along your kids and enjoy watching them have fun,” Tanya said. “To fi nish off the night there will be a free sausage sizzle available for everyone,” she added. There will also be an opportunity on the day to assist with registration to the club for those who may need the help. The club also ran its end-of-year presentation last Thursday night, where a number of children were presented with age championships as
well as participation awards. “Congratulations to all those children who practiced and competed hard and also congrats to the children who participated,” Tanya said. “A huge ‘thank you’ to the Committee members and parents who helped- out on the night,” she concluded. Narromine Little A’s starts its 2023/2024 season next month, catering for children between the ages of three to 18 years. Follow Narromine Little A’s on social media and contact Lynda Edwards or Tanya Harding for further information.
GERRIES GOLF NOTES
Double for “Fletch” with top round and pools win By NORMS LEWIS GERRIES mainstay, Bob Fletcher returned to form with a great score of 27 points in the round last Wednesday for a really good day for golf with the course in top condition. Eleven players were in attendance for the event with “Fletch” taking advantage of the conditions to win comfortably, with runner-up on the day, Col Shepherdson with 23 points. It appears though that the course
was the “winner” as the Nearestthe-Pin comp was not won again with the prize now jackpotting. The NAGA prize, however, went to Phil White. In the Clubhouse a serious game of Pool was played between Col Shepherdson and Chris Harding against Ross King and and Bob Fletcher. All was well for Ross and Bob, until Ross had a shot on the black to win, and he was heard to say, “I’ve
missed”. However, the white ball did the job and down went the black, giving victory to Ross and Bob and the title of “Pool Champs” for the week. This result also gave Fletch the winning double of golf and pool on the day . On Wednesday, September, the comp was on the back nine, with the results to appear in next week’s edition of the Narromine Star. That’s all for this Week — see you at the 19th.
