Lucas Walsh to lead Station 401 Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS EARLIER this week, the staff of Fire and Rescue (FRNSW) Station 401 Narromine welcomed the appointment of one of their own, Lucas Walsh, as their new Captain.

The informal mini-ceremony on drill night was a surprise to the newly installed captain, who had returned from working at Peak Hill to fi nd his crew joined by his family at the station.

In a very proud moment for those loved ones watching on, including wife Emily, mum Sharon Walsh, grandma Laurel Hawkins and children Charlie, 4, and Bronte, 18 months, Captain Walsh was formally presented with the station’s red captain’s helmet by his grandfather, retired Station 401 Narromine Captain Robert Hawkins AFSM. Captain Walsh takes the reins following the retirement of Captain Ewen Jones in September 2023.

Staff members Tony Coen and Andrew Pearce spoke at the presentation.

“It’s one of those monumental occasions for [Station] 401,” Acting Deputy Coen said of Captain Walsh’s rise to the top job. The veteran fi refighter had previously served under Captain Robert Hawkins himself and was there when Captain Walsh fi rst arrived at Station 401 in 2010.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) gathered on November 4 to celebrate its centenary.

Although the branch officially celebrated with the community at a gala event on March 10, which was attended by more than 100 people, the actual 100th anniversary

of the very fi rst meeting of the local CWA was in mid-September 2023.

With so much happening locally around that time of year, the current and former

branch members of the Narromine CWA opted for a private, low-key celebration at the Courthouse Hotel in a quieter time of year.

Stew Denston with sons Rodger, Artie and George. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. DISEASE is one of the biggest challenges in the cotton industry and a main concern for growers.

To investigate techniques to manage disease, growers, consultants and industry personnel have formed farmer-focused participatory ‘Disease Action Groups’, allowing those directly affected to be part of the research process and use their own fi ndings to create a solution.

Supported by Cotton Seed Distributors’ (CSD) Richard Williams Initiative, Cotton Research and Development Corporation and Crown Analytical Services (CAS), research has started in central and southern cotton growing regions and will later expand to all regions.

The groups work with local Cotton Info Regional Extension Officers to fi nd practices to assist with onfarm disease management and reduce the impact of disease on cotton production.

alternative processes and practices such as crop rotation, and provide regionally specific research and information to advise and assist growers, agronomists and consultants.

Three of the main recurring diseases are Black Root Rot, Fusarium Wilt and Verticillium Wilt. The initiative’s key to success has been through monitoring disease inoculum levels seen within CAS heat maps, which have shown back-toback cotton significantly increases Verticillium Wilt inoculum levels.

Macquarie Disease Action Group member Stewart Denston, a Trangie cotton grower, is enthusiastic about how this research will benefit his business.

More than 50 growers are participating, investigating a range of crops that can be rotated with cotton such as wheat, millet, canola, sunflowers and corn. The fi rst of the project’s three seasons has been completed. Field days, workshops and local meetings will be held to promote better disease management.

Matthew Norrie from the Namoi Disease Action Group is excited about what this research means for the future of cotton management in Australia.

“I hope through this initiative we can establish some guidelines on how to not only reduce the incidence of Vert in the crop in the fi rst place, but also, how to manage the disease in the soil for the long term and keep these soils producing high yielding healthy cotton crops,” he said.

Lucas Walsh to lead Station 401 Narromine

The Narromine Station 401 crew. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

Four generations celebrate Lucas Walsh’s appointment.

From page 1 “It’s going to be a pleasure to serve under Lucas as our new captain. You’ve come a long way and it’ll be a great thing to see your name on that [honour] board underneath Robert’s.”

Captain Walsh carries on a career that has run in his extended family for a century.

When he fi rst joined FRNSW in April 2010, he stepped into the crew to replace the vacancy left by the retirement of his grandfather after a distinguished 40-year career, in-

cluding 24 years as captain.

Robert Hawkins’ father Cyril Hawkins and grandfather Alfred Hawkins were part of the original station fi re crew when the station fi rst became operational in Narromine more than 90 years ago.

With four generations of the family present at the event, Retired Captain Hawkins said it was a great privilege to be present to hand over the red captain’s helmet to his grandson.

“My father and grandfather were members of West Wy-

along brigade in 1917 and when they moved to Narromine there was no fi re brigade so my grandfather took it upon himself to get the wheels moving. Eventually we got a fi re brigade and this building went up,” he said.

“I joined in 1969 and retired in 2009. Lucas took my spot and he’s done a very good job of learning the ropes.”

Captain Walsh was humble in his thanks to those present, including his team.

“I didn’t expect to end up

with the red helmet. I’ve been hanging around the fi re station since I was a baby and it’s been good to move through the ranks and learn what I’ve learnt here with a good team,” he said.

“Like Tony [Coen] said, it is an honour to end up on that [honour] board and wear that helmet. [It’s] not the same name but is the same blood and the same desire.”

Retained Firefighter Andrew Pearce said the crew were delighted to have Lucas

Walsh as the new Captain and that he would lead them to further success as a team and as a station, building upon already solid foundations.

Emily Walsh said she was extremely proud of her husband, and it was quite possible their children could follow in the family footsteps and join the fi re service one day.

“Both kids are very obsessed with fi re trucks and anything rescue-related,” she said.

Congratulations, Captain Lucas Walsh.

Gabby presents flowers to out outgoing secretary, Carolyn.

From page 1 Fourteen current and former members of the branch attended the event, including recently appointed patron Mary Morris, a 50-year-plus CWA veteran.

Mrs Morris had the honour of cutting the centenary cake made by Terina McNair, daughter of outgoing secretary Carolyn Egan, especially for the event.

Ruth Hando read her poem “The Waterhole,” which won the Neta Dewhurst Poetry Award at a cultural event for the CWA Far Western Group in late August. She was also delighted to receive an acknowledgement in Parliament by Member for the Dubbo Electorate, Dugald Saunders MP. Over lunch many memories were shared by members of life in the early decades of the CWA and of life in 1930s Australia and beyond.

the first event presided over by newly elected branch president, Gabrielle Teale-McEvoy. Ms Teale-McEvoy, 30, has stepped into the very big shoes of outgoing president Jean Richardson who has led the branch for the past three years.

Introduced to the CWA by her grandmother, Ms Teale-McEvoy embodies the community spirit of the 100-year-old organisation.

“I feel it’s very important to give back to the community,” she said. “CWA offers so much and is an important social outlet for a lot of people.”

Ms Teale-McEvoy said she plans to look at exploring creative outlets for members to enjoy CWA including learning new things and entering inter-branch competitions.

“We have so many talented people in CWA. It will be fun exploring the possibilities.”

Jean Richardson paid tribute to the new president who was elected at the annual general meeting (AGM) last month.

“Gabby is very capable

and the best possible candidate to take over the reins.

“CWA has changed a lot over the years and now we need younger members like Gabby coming along with new ideas and ways of thinking.

“I look forward to watching her progress, and I’m here if she ever needs advice,” she said.

Mrs Richardson will celebrate her own half-century in CWA in 2024, having fi rst joined the organisation after marrying and moving to Trangie. She later transferred to Narromine after moving there when she and her husband Bob sold their property.

Longtime secretary Carolyn Egan also stepped down at the recent CWA branch AGM as she prepares to retire to Dubbo. She reflected on her long involvement with the CWA, having fi rst been introduced to the organisation when her aunts hosted a kitchen tea for her in 1966 in the Dunedoo CWA Rooms.

She joined the following year at Enngonia, and transferred to Narromine in 2008 when

she and her husband Douglas moved from Bourke.

“My sister-in-law told me ‘you join CWA’, so I did,” Mrs Egan said.

“The best thing about the CWA has been the friendships I’ve made. You can end up with friends all over the state when you get involved.”

Moving forward, it is planned that the secretary’s role vacated by Mrs Egan will be shared by two members, with others assisting as needed. Treasurer Lyn Newton will continue in her role for the next year.

From little things, big things grow…

MUCH has been achieved by the CWA since it was fi rst formed in NSW in 1922 out of a desire to help better the lives of country women and children. The Narromine branch formed the following year, meeting for the fi rst time on September 18, 1923. The tremendous things the local branch has achieved are well

documented, and the branch continues to support education, public speaking and other initiatives for young people and the community.

Earlier this year, the Narromine branch took locals on a walk down memory lane by re-screening historic photos that were part of a powerpoint displayed at the March 10 celebratory event.

Sourced by the hardworking volunteers from the Narromine Local History Group including Norma Meadley, Mary Morris, Sally Anderson, Shirley Alderton and Geoff Smith, the photos depicted the fi rst CWA meeting places in Narromine, local events staged by branch members, and the many fi ne country women whose hard work gave the organisation its strong and robust foundations.

From little things, big things grow – and will continue to grow.

“CWA is very important to me. Let’s hope we can continue for the next 100 years,” Ms Teale-McEvoy said.

Real superheroes Racing carnival heats up as horses don’t wear capes: clear quarantine they make them

Jane Poole models one of the capes she has made for Capes 4 Kids.

Capes like these put a smile on the face of sick children around Australia.

By SHARON BONTHUYS REAL superheroes don’t wear capes - they make them for a children’s charity that then gifts them to hospitals around the country to cheer up sick children.

Keen sewer Jane Poole from Narromine is one of these dedicated “cape crusaders”, having made over 400 capes for the Australian charity Capes 4 Kids in the last two years.

“I read about it on social media and thought I could do that,” said Mrs Poole, who moved to Narromine from Darwin with her husband Russell six years ago.

The mum of three and grandma of seven gets great enjoyment from her cape-making and loves exploring local op shops for doona covers she can repurpose into new capes for the program. Her husband enjoys coming on these shopping trips and she also appreciates the support of a lady from Parkes who brings doona covers to Narromine.

The cause has also become very personal for

Mrs Poole, as one of her young grandsons received a cape during a hospital stay in Darwin.

“He thinks I made his cape,” she said with a smile.

Volunteer seamstresses like Mrs Poole make bright, fun superhero-style capes from an approved pattern following guidelines that ensure the items are safe for young children.

The capes are sent to a distribution centre on the NSW central coast and from there are distributed to 156 hospitals across the country, Mrs Poole said. Since its inception in Canberra in 2014, Capes 4 Kids has distributed more than 71,000 capes.

“At the hospitals, the capes are distributed to sick children by the nurses as they see fit,” she said.

Volunteers receive regular monthly updates on how many items have been distributed, which really shows the value of their work, Mrs Poole said.

Volunteers source their own materials for the capes and welcome donated materials. Mrs Poole encourages anyone who is inter-

ested in sewing to consider joining Capes 4 Kids as a volunteer seamstress.

“You don’t need to be an expert sewer to participate. Even beginners can do it. The pattern is very simple and already set up and the guidelines are clear,” she said.

Knowing that sick children get great joy from the capes encourages Mrs Poole to continue to give her time to the cause.

“It puts a smile on my face to know that a little person going through a tough time gets a cape I’ve made which has then put a smile on their face.”

The Capes 4 Kids website has further information about how readers can support the program with donations, donated items, or how to become a volunteer seamstress.

The callout for volunteers does bear a warning though: “cape making can become addictive!”

With 400 capes under her belt and counting, Mrs Poole would certainly agree.

THE best international runners are raring to go after clearing the hurdle of post-arrival biosecurity quarantine.

Twenty-three international racehorses arrived in Australia for the Victorian Spring Racing Carnival and the Sydney Everest Carnival and completed quarantine at Werribee International Horse Centre, Victoria, and Canterbury Park International Horse Centre, Sydney.

Biosecurity Deputy Secretary Dr Chris Locke said biosecurity was an important, if understated, part of the spring carnival every year.

“Every year the focus is on the favourites, but at the department our focus is on making sure international racehorses can take part in Australia’s racing season, without posing a biosecurity threat to the Australian horse industry,” Dr Locke said.

“When racehorses come to

Australia, they’re required to complete 14 days of post-arrival quarantine. It’s the standard for any equine and allows us to monitor for any signs of illness.

“Obviously these horses need to be exercised daily, especially in the lead up to the racing season. It’s fortunate we can rely on “Approved Arrangements” sites like Werribee and Canterbury Park.

“These are privately owned, government approved and audited quarantine facilities where horses can continue track work while in quarantine.

“Without these facilities, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to see international talent take part in the Australian spring racing season.

“It’s a reminder that biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility, even if you are the bookie’s favourite.”

Regional tourism on a high

Travellers at the Trangie Caravan Park. PHOTO: ALEX GARTSIDE.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE value of caravan and camping tourism to regional NSW continues to grow, according to the Caravan and Camping Industry Association (NSW).

Not only are caravanning and camping the most popular forms of holiday accommodation in NSW, but recent figures show overall growth has increased to hit record heights for nights, trips and expenditure, the Association says.

The latest industry data revealed the NSW caravan and camping sector visitor economy delivered close to five million trips and 19.2 million visitor nights in the year ending June 2023.

Figures released by the Tourism and Transport Forum (TTF) also show that domestic travel to regional NSW surged nine per cent above pre-pandemic levels between December 2022 and May 2023.

The most popular regional tourism destinations were North Coast NSW (Ballina/ Byron Bay) and South Coast NSW (Shoalhaven), according to the TTF. “We are seeing continued strong growth in our industry which reflects not only its resilience but its enduring attractiveness as the quintessen-

tial Aussie holiday,” said Lyndel Grey, CEO of the Caravan and Camping Industry Association (NSW) CEO. “Caravan and camping experiences are up across all age segments with the 30-54 age bracket taking more than two million trips in the past year and the over-55 market more than doubling their number of trips.

“These visitors have generated over $3.6 billion in tourism spending, with much of it in our regions contributing to local economies and helping to support regional jobs and communities.”

Value to Narromine Shire communities THE Narromine Shire has certainly attracted some of this tourism spending from visits by caravan and camping groups of all sizes and denominations.

In May 2023, the Trakmaster Off-Road Caravan Club brought about 90 vans and their mostly young-at-heart owners to Narromine for a weeklong stay that generated tens of thousands of dollars locally.

The well-coordinated visit included day trips to local farms, sessions of golf, lawn bowls and parkrun, and craft activities.

Many meals were also enjoyed

Narromine Shire Council General Manager Jane Redden said such initiatives are very valuable to communities and vital to their sustainability.

“Over the week [the Trakmaster Club] collected about $58,000 worth of local spending dockets, donated $5,500 to local community groups and spent a further $21,000 on meals and accommodation,” Mrs Redden said.

“The club visitors very much enjoyed our bush hospitality and from all reports they felt very welcome here during the visit.”

Shorter visits by travelling groups like non-profit Drive4Life, which provides guided 4WD tours with a cause, have also brought great benefits to local communities.

Last month Drive4Life visited Trangie as the starting point of its week-long “down the Darling” adventure which also visited Bourke, Mt Oxley, Gundabooka National Park, Louth, Tilpa, Wilcannia and Menindee. The group, which included 14 caravans and additional travellers, stayed at the Trangie Caravan Park while in town.

“Tourism remains an important part of the Narromine regional economy with many visitors throughout winter

and spring taking advantage of our weather, accommodation and activities in the Shire,” Mrs Redden said.

“Throughout the cooler months the tourism trade is important to our retailers with caravans often seen in the side streets of Trangie and Narromine and visitors being welcomed.

“Destination NSW reports that across the central west the average spend per overnight visitor is now over $230, with the average spend per day trip at almost $200 per person per day.

“Narromine Shire Council staff continue to work to enhance both markets and this can be seen with recent support to the Dolly Festival, funding support to the Trangie Truck and Tractor Show, Narromine Show, various race day events and upcoming main street promotions,” Mrs Redden said.

With an influx of visitors expected in the Narromine shire and wider region over the next few weeks for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Gliding Championships, some of whom will be staying in local caravan and tourist parks, the value of such visits to the local economy is not to be underestimated.

Parliamentary Friends to champion the cause THE caravan and camping industry is so important that a Friends group was formally established late last month to champion the industry’s voice in Canberra.

Co-chaired by Senator Helen Polley and Scott Buchholz MP, the Parliamentary Friends of Caravanning will support the travel and tourism industry, local manufacturers, and operators across the supply chain, many of which are small and micro businesses, allowing them to connect with parliamentarians about the value caravanning brings to the regions, according to the Caravan Industry Association of Australia.

Association CEO Stuart Lamont, said: “the establishment of the group is further recognition of the industry’s economic contribution, social and wellbeing offering and diversity of offering for the Australian tourism landscape.

“The industry offers much more than simply a positive recreational activity – $27 billion of economic activity from local manufacturing, employment, sovereign supply chains, visitor economy spend, and regional dispersal,” Mr Lamont said.

At Ben’s Chook Races, Tambo.

By SHARON BONTHUYS MUCH-LOVED central west breast cancer survivor and awareness advocate, Donna Falconer, has swapped her Groovy Booby Bus for a new ride and her next mission.

Following her return from a mammoth 20,000-kilometre tour of Australia in the Groovy Booby Bus, Ms Falconer has joined the mobile BreastScreen NSW team which visits regional communities.

After several weeks at Mudgee, Ms Falconer is looking forward to visiting Narromine and Trangie as the next stops on the mobile van visit list. The BreastScreen van will be in Narromine from November 13-30 at the council chambers, and then in Trangie from December 4-6 next to the community hall.

She will be there to personally

meet and greet local residents who attend the van for screening appointments.

“I can’t wait to be back there,” Ms Falconer said. Her last visit to the region was during the inaugural Dolly Festival in 2022, and she left not long after on her epic journey to spread the breast cancer awareness message across Australia.

Although she travelled alone for much of the journey around the country, she did have company on parts of the trip and admits that she ran into plenty of people from the Dubbo region while travelling.

“I met my goal to visit every state and territory and every capital city,” she said of the journey that took nearly 10 months.

“I always said I wanted to do this but missed Tassie on a previous tour.”

Along the way, Ms Falconer gave away 500 copies of her book “My Time: Through Breast Cancer and Beyond”.

“I left copies at roadhouses, roadside street libraries, book exchanges, and just chatting to people,” she said. The book charts her own personal journey battling and surviving breast cancer.

The Groovy Booby Bus managed the long trip reasonably well with only a few major hiccups along the way. The Iveco bus broke down in Darwin and lost power steering in Broome. Two wheels also fell off Groovy at Shark Bay, Western Australia, prompting Ms Falconer to issue this cheeky reminder: “Don’t forget to check your nuts!”

The iconic booby-decorated bus is “now a teenager and costing a bit, like teens do,”

she said.

Groovy will get a well earned rest as Ms Falconer takes her message to the masses in the BreastScreen van.

She hopes to see lots of people during her visits to the Narromine Shire.

“It’s so important for women to know that free breast screening is available for anyone over the age of 40. After 50 you go on a register and once you’re 74 you’re still able to have a screen if you want one,” she said.

Breast screening is free for women aged 40-74 and highly recommended for women aged over 50. Screening is not offered to women under 40 as younger women tend to have higher breast density and lower risk of cancer, according to Breast Screen NSW. However, Ms Falconer said women under 40, and indeed

women of all ages, should maintain awareness of their breasts and conduct regular monthly checks.

“Knowing your normal [what normal looks like for you] is really important,” Ms Falconer said.

She also recommended following Pink Hope, an organisation that advo cates for awareness of he reditary cancer.

“It’s interesting that men don’t understand that they can get breast cancer too,” she said.

The breast cancer survivor would like everyone of every gender to be breastaware, as that vigilance will help save lives.

Nominate now for NSW Landcare awards

By SHARON BONTHUYS NOMINATIONS are now being accepted for the 2023/2024 NSW Landcare Awards, which aim to recognise the outstanding contributions made by individuals, groups and organisations involved in landcare.

Last year, Narromine Shire farmer and inventor Bruce Maynard received the prestigious national Bob Hawke Landcare Award for his considerable achievements in sustainable farming practices and inventing the revolutionary “no kill cropping system”.

Mr Maynard said that formal recognition for landcare activities across the state through the awards is very important.

“Local Landcare has a proud record of grassroots achievements with individual actions being a key foundation – wheth-

er it is in organising, supporting, sponsoring or on-ground work.

“Locally, our Macquarie 2100 group is still progressing the 100-year plan that all sections of the community contributed to,” he said.

Information about the nomination categories and guidelines can be found on the Landcare Australia website, and entries close in early March 2024. The winners of the nine national Landcare Award categories will advance as fi nalists to the 2024 National Landcare Awards.

“Landcare is an Australian initiative that has led to similar organisations around the globe.

“We should be proud of the local, regional and global achievements of the movement and celebrate those that are nominated and chosen for the annual awards,” Mr Maynard said.

Bruce Maynard receieved the Bob Hawke Landcare Award last year.

Rail spends big Remembrance Inland but no figures for N2N Day 2023

By SHARON BONTHUYS

The Narromine cenotaph. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

By SHARON BONTHUYS A SHORT commemorative service will be held this Saturday at the cenotaph by the Narromine Sub-Branch of the Returned and Services League (RSL) for Remembrance Day. The service will start at 11.00 am on November 11, the 105th anniversary of the

end of World War I. The loss of Australian lives from all wars and confl icts is commemorated on Remembrance Day. The RSL Sub-Branch invites the community to join them for this service at the cenotaph, adjacent to Tom Perry Park, Narromine.

Lest We Forget.

EARLIER this week Inland Rail provided an update on how much money has been invested with local businesses across various stages of the enormous tri-state project.

Nearly $400 million has been spent with local companies on the Inland Rail alignment since beginning construction in 2018, with around $85million spent over the last year, the company said in a statement.

“Inland Rail has engaged with nearly 430 local companies on the Parkes to Narromine (P2N), Beveridge to Albury (B2A), Narrabri to North Star (N2NS) and Stockinbingal to Parkes (S2P) sections, spending some $390 million on their services,” a spokesperson said.

“Over that time Inland Rail has engaged with twenty-five First Nations businesses, spending nearly $40 million with these companies.

“Some $244 million was spent with local companies on the N2NS section, $110 million on the P2N section and nearly $30 million spent in the B2A section so far.”

Services provided by companies contracted to Inland Rail have included office fit out, accommodation and catering, workforce training, equipment supply, earthworks, signage, waste services, hardware supplies, plant and equipment hire, electrical and plumbing services and fencing.

Figures for the Narromine to Narrabri (N2N) section of the project were not available, the spokes-

person told the Narromine Star.

“We are prioritising the delivery of Inland Rail between Beveridge in Victoria through to Parkes and Narromine in NSW to be completed in 2027,” the spokesperson said.

“The delivery of these sections will enable Inland Rail to connect to existing rail networks between Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and the Illawarra via Parkes and Narromine.

“The immediate focus for Inland Rail north of Narromine is to gain primary approvals to secure the Inland Rail route, which includes the acquisition of required properties.”

Future decisions by the Australian Government on the delivery of sections north of Narromine will be considered when the government has more certainty as to the delivery and full cost of the Inland Rail program, the spokesperson said.

“This includes Inland Rail completing environmental approval processes and securing land required for the Inland Rail corridor.”

In late February 2023 the Australian Rail Track Corporation received approval from the NSW Minister for Planning to progress the Narromine to Narrabri Project, subject to conditions and Federal Government approval.

Project assessment will be finalised by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

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

Pink Angels ON a trip to Dubbo recently I had the pleasure of visiting a fundraising barbecue outside the local Bunnings run by Pink Angels Inc. The Pink Angels are an organisation based in Dubbo which was born from the desire to support local breast cancer patients by providing practical assistance such as housekeeping, meals, and other care. Their reach now extends to many towns in the Parkes electorate including Narromine, Trangie, Warren, Nyngan, Cobar, Brewarrina, Bourke, Lightning Ridge, Coonamble, Coonabarabran, Gilgandra, and Gulargambone.

I was very glad to chat to them about what they do and the invaluable service they provide, and I encourage anyone in the areas they cover who is affected by breast cancer to take up their offer of support.

I call for an end to the violence on both sides, to prevent more needless loss of life.

There is no justification for the Hamas attacks on Israel – the reports have been horrendous. I’m also very aware howwere awarded the Perpetual Star Award in the 2023 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.

Matt Wright and his team at MoneyQuest won the title of National Franchise of the Year in Asset Lending for the highest number of loans settled and Matt achieved a milestone, 20 years in fi nance.

IT was lovely on Friday night to join with Meals on Wheels staff, volunteers, and clients, including some of the originals who started the service

Meals on Wheels make it possible for our elderly and frail people to stay in their homes and keep their independence. Whether it be a friendly face calling by to drop off some nutritious meals, transport to an appointment or social interaction, the team is making a difference.

The team is always looking for more volunteers so if you’re able to help, even if it’s only occasionally, please contact them.

Rural Revive: Farmto-table nutrition tips

By RENEE HORSTMAN THE farm-to-table movement is more than just a food trend, it’s a commitment to healthy eating, sustainability, and supporting local farmers. Here are some essential farm-to-table nutrition tips embracing fresh, locally sourced food for a healthier lifestyle: 1. Choose Seasonal Produce: Opt for fruits and vegetables that are in season.

These are at their freshest and most flavourful, packed with essential vitamins and min-

erals. Seasonal produce also tends to be more affordable.

2. Know Your Farmers: Get to know the farmers who supply your local markets. They can provide information about their farming practices, helping you make informed choices about the quality and sustainability of the food you eat.

3. Minimise Food Miles: By purchasing locally grown food, you reduce the distance your food has travelled to reach your plate. This not only supports the local econo-

my but also lowers the carbon footprint of your meals.

4. Whole Foods Over Processed: Farm-to-table emphasises whole, unprocessed foods. These foods are less likely to contain additives, preservatives, and excess sugar, making them healthier and more delicious choices.

5. Diversify Your Diet: Explore new recipes; using ingredients and flavors that may not be readily available in large supermarkets. Farm-to-table dining encourages culinary experimentation and a di-

verse, nutrient-rich diet.

6. Plan Your Meals: Purchase fresh ingredients and plan your meals accordingly to minimise food waste and money spent. Supporting local farms also means being mindful of sustainability, which includes reducing food waste while also minimising the use of single-use plastics and other packaging materials.

7. Seasonal Preserving: In seasons of abundance, consider preserving fruits and vegetables through canning, freezing, or pickling. This allows

you and your family to enjoy local produce all year-round.

Incorporating these farm-totable nutrition tips into your lifestyle not only promotes better health but also strengthens the connection between you and your local food community. By making informed choices and savoring the fresh flavors of locally sourced ingredients, you can enjoy a more sustainable and nutritious way of eating.

Here’s to a healthier, happier you.

Until next time, Renee.

IPROWD course Nothing can stop God’s own plans recruiting in for our lives Dubbo DUBBO TAFE is currently recruiting for the Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Delivery (IPROWD) program which is set to commence in Dubbo next March.

BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS

The 24-week program supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to join Australian policing agencies including the NSW (or other state/territory) police, Aus-

tralian Federal Police, and or other justice or emergency service agency.

For further details, visit the TAFE IPROWD webpage or contact Dubbo TAFE.

Farm income falls after recordbreaking seasons AFTER two record years, broadacre farm incomes are forecast to fall significantly in 2023–24 due to drier conditions and lower prices for agricultural commodities, especially livestock.

ABARES Executive Director Dr Jared Greenville said that at a national level, average farm cash income for broadacre farms is expected to decrease 41 per cent, to $197,000 per farm in 2023–24, representing a fall in incomes back to levels seen three years ago.

“Livestock farms will be affected by large decreas-

es in prices for beef, cattle and sheep, with sheep farm incomes forecast to be well below average,” Dr Greenville said.

“We are expecting incomes well below the long term average in parts of northern NSW and southern Queensland and the northern parts of the Western Australian cropping zone, mainly due to drier conditions resulting in lower crop yields.

ABARES is now providing quarterly updates to farm performance forecasts with the next update due in December.

“By linking ABARES farm

and CSIRO production models with Bureau of Meteorology seasonal weather forecasts, we can now provide more timely updates on how seasonal and market conditions are affecting the farm sector,” Dr Greenville said.

“This is a significant step forward from the forecast we have traditionally provided once a year.”

“THEN He called two of his centurions and ordered them, ‘Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at nine tonight. Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix”. (Acts: 23:23–24).

Poor Paul just couldn’t catch a break. He’d been thrown in jail, stripped naked as a bandicoot, and beaten without feeling. As if that wasn’t enough, now people were plotting to kill him.

But God saved Paul. He wasn’t done with Paul yet! He sent someone to warn Paul and the commander guarding him.

Then God used these guys to orchestrate Paul’s horseback escape.

Paul went through a lot in his life, but God was always with him. He came near death several times, but God was always with him, and would not allow anyone to take his life.

Nothing, not even armies, could stop Paul from doing what God had planned for him to accomplish!

Paul was following in Jesus’ footsteps. No matter how angry people got at Jesus, no matter how many plots were hatched to kill him, God did not let anyone throw Jesus off track of God’s plan.

God created every one of us to carry out His plans.

And every single thing we face is something God will use for His purposes, just like He used Jesus to save the world. We all have a purpose in God’s plan!

Paul, a self-described servant, called to be an Apostle and set apart for the Gospel of our Lord

Jesus Christ. (Romans 1:1).

When you introduce yourself to someone, I wonder what words would you use to describe yourself? Maybe you’re a sports player, ballet student, or book-lover. Paul described himself as a servant whom God called to be an Apostle, whom God set apart to spread Jesus’ story all over the world.

In the Old Testament Book of Isaiah, Chapters 52 and 53, Jesus is described as God’s righteous servant, who would come to humbly serve people by suffering and dying for them. God chose Jesus and set him apart as his servant in order to save us.

Jesus said: “Anyone who wants to be fi rst, must be the very last, and the servant of all”. Jesus backed up his words with his actions.

He willingly served God by completing the task that God sent him to do.

He became the servant of all by putting our needs before his own — to the point of dying in our place, because we needed to be saved from our sins.

Just like Paul, Jesus is calling you to be a servant of God. You have been chosen to tell others about Jesus. Are you willing to be a humble servant, like Jesus, who puts the needs of others before your own?

PRAYER: “Jesus I know you have a plan for my life.

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to serve you. Please give me the endurance to make your name great everywhere I go. Amen.

Harvest cut out ball More WWII pilots from to help reconnect Dubbo High found

By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH the end of the year just seven weeks away, harvest is in full swing for some while done and dusted for other local producers in NSW. For what it contributes to local economies and communities as well as globally, harvest is a big deal. It’s also something worth celebrating.

Many countries around the world celebrate harvest with festivals and thanksgiving events so it will come as no surprise that locally we want to celebrate it too.

Locals will get to do exactly that on New Year’s Eve as the team behind new non-profit group Rural West Connect (RWC) hosts its inaugural Harvest Cut Out Ball in Narromine.

For those who might not know what this means, RWC president and spokesperson Keiley Noble explained it in more detail. “‘Harvest cut out’ is farmer slang for the end of the cropping year,” she said.

“Another way of describing

what we are doing is hosting a big community post-harvest celebration as harvest is a huge contributor to our community.”

Held at the Narromine Showgrounds, the ball will double as a New Year’s Eve event. The importance of those involved in the ag sector being able to rest, relax and socialise after the intense and very busy harvest period is critical to maintaining social connections and good mental health, according to the RWC. “The last census data from Narromine detailed an average employment rate of only 1.4 people per ag-based business, illustrating just how limited social interactions during harvest can actually be,” Ms Noble said.

“A lot of people who work within our ag industry work for themselves, their family or for a small business.

“This really drove home the need to create an event that would bring our ag based community together immediately after harvest.”

A night of festive fun is

planned for New Year’s Eve, with the RWC team busy organising the summer cocktail event which will include a sit-down dinner and entertainment.

Ms Noble is one of several young women from across western NSW who established RWC last year. Led by young, involved and passionate professionals, the non-profit organisation aims to encourage and enhance social connections within small rural communities and industries in the region. “[RWC executive members] are educators, farmers, business owners, health care professionals, agricultural service providers and account managers, and they call towns such as Dubbo, Narromine, Trangie, Tottenham and Tullamore home,” Ms Noble said.

The RWC intends to use the Harvest Cut Out Ball to raise funds for the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary to benefit the local hospital, Ms Noble said. Further details about the auxiliary’s collaboration with RWC will be available in the near future.

SINCE my recent article about 11 former students from the Dubbo High School training at the No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School (EFTS) at Narromine during World War II, further information has come to light.

Michael Nelmes, curator at the Narromine Aviation Museum, kindly provided a list of the pilots who graduated from the school between 1940-1944. From this, I have been able to identify eight more former students who undertook their early pilot training at the Narromine EFTS, as follows.

Flying Officer Reginald Robert (Bob) Cookson 412413 Bob Cookson survived the war.

Flying Officer Gordon Cornelius Dengate 414388 Gordon Dengate survived the war.

Pilot Officer Charles Richardson Digges DFC 402155 Charles Digges received his Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for a bombing attack on an enemy tanker in July 1941 near Blanken, off the west coast of Flanders. He was the fi rst officer from the Empire Air Training Scheme serving the United Kingdom to receive a military decoration.

On December 18, 1941, he died as a member of a crew of a Hudson bomber that crashed near the RAF (Royal Air Force) Oulton Air Base, in Norfolk, England.

Pilot Officer Barrington Armitage Knyvett DFC 402869 Barrington Knyvett received his DFC from the King of England at Buckingham Palace, London, on December 8, 1942, for his flying operations in the RUHR. He died with his crew on January 2, 1944 when their Lancaster bomber crashed just after take off from the RAF Binbrook Air Base, England.

He was then in No. 460 RAAF Squadron, the most highly decorated Australian squadron in Bomber Command and the one with the highest casualties. Almost 600 Australians from No. 460 Squadron are listed on the Australian War Memorial’s Roll of Honour, many of whom trained at Narromine during WWII. Flight Sergeant George Arthur Mills 33250 George Mills died on May 23, 1943, during a German air raid on the RAF Air Base at Bournemouth, England.

Flight Sergeant Mervyn Henry Morgan 402381 Mervyn Morgan died in a plane crash at Tookenham Court Farm near Lyneham, England, on October 24, 1941.

Flight Warrant Officer William (Bill) James Patman 412830 Bill Patman represented Dubbo High in the 1935 Astley Cup (rugby union, tennis and athletics) and received a Sporting Blue in athletics in 1935. He also played senior rugby league for Western Division and during WWII he played in RAAF representative football teams in NSW. Bill Patman survived the war.

Flight Warrant Officer Jack Hamilton Stanley 14705 Jack Stanley survived the war.

In summary, 19 former Dubbo High School were known to have undertaken part of their WWII pilot training undertaken at No. 5 EFTS, Narromine. Among this cohort were recipients of one Victoria Cross and five Distinguished Flying Crosses, and 10 died during WWII. The early courses at the No. 5 EFTS also had a high war fatality rate. For example, course number seven, which had 53 graduates including Rawdon Middleton VC, had 27 war-related fatalities.

TAG Update: Community Christmas and Shop-n-Win

By PAT RILEY THE fast-approaching and much-anticipated community Christmas Party was fi nalised at the recent meeting of Trangie Action Group community progress association.

This year’s event will be in mid December.

The ever-popular Shop-nWin competition is also already underway with local shoppers collecting and saving receipts to the value of $50 to make them eligible to win one or more vouchers to re-

deem at local businesses.

Local businesses have again stepped up with donations of raffle prizes and the Action Group is most appreciative of their generosity.

As an annual event of many years standing, this Christmas Party continues to grow, with each one held offering something bigger and better than the previous iteration.

Billed as a family-oriented event, it offers something for everyone, with the emphasis on fun and community.

Our younger citizens will

certainly be well catered for, with Santa making a timely appearance, along with a host of other fun activities to keep them entertained. More senior members of the community can also try their luck on the chocolate wheel and afford themselves the opportunity to take home a cash prize, a ham, or a packet of fresh prawns.

A barbecue is also being run, and local muso, Rockin’ Robbie, will be on-site to add to the festive atmosphere.

Australia Day arrange-

ments were also on the agenda, Trangie Bowling Club will play host to a community event. More details will follow.

Trangie Action Group is comprised of members of the local community whose aim is to work for the betterment of their town.

Just some of the group’s successful projects can be seen such initiatives as the “Trangie” signs at the town entrances, the multi-purpose hall in the Central School grounds, murals in the main

street, the “Big Billy” at the Goan Waterhole, Christmas street lights, along with a multitude of other achievements.

The annual and ever-popular Shop-n-Win campaign is designed to keep local money local, to encourage people to support the town that supports them. Our group is constantly on the lookout for new members, and for a princely $2 joining fee community members can be part of this enterprising team.

Roarsome news Rainbow lorikeet for Dubbo zoo tops bird count!

The humble Rainbow Lorikeet topped the list of birds counted during the 2023 Aussie Bird Count. PHOTOS: BIRDLIFE AUSTRALIA.

The new cubs will formally make their public debut at the zoo in the coming months. PHOTO: MEGAN LEWIS. LION keepers at Taronga Western Plains Zoo received the best gift for International Zookeeper Day, with a trio of lion cubs born late in the evening on October 4, 2023.

This is the second litter for breeding pair Marion and Lwazi, after three bouncing baby girls were born on April 7, 2022.

“The cubs are doing really well, they’re hitting all their milestones and Marion is an absolute superstar mum,” said Senior Keeper Melanie Friedman.

“They’ve had their first quick vet check and we can confirm there’s two boys and a girl, their eyes are open and they’re all weighing in around five kilograms.

“They’re currently behind the scenes bonding with mum, getting to know all the ins and outs of being a lion!”

Keepers closely monitored Marion via CCTV in the weeks leading up to the birth, after she experienced some complications with her fi rst litter and required an emergency caesarean.

Marion appeared to be in labour on the morning of October 4, before giving birth to two cubs between 9pm and 10pm that

evening. The third cub arrived a few hours later.

“We were up very, very late watching but it was very exciting that we didn’t have to intervene, she delivered them all naturally – it was a really joyous moment,” Ms Friedman said.

“Lions are not an endangered species but their numbers are declining in the wild, so every birth is important.

“Being an imported lioness from America, Marion brought new genetics into our region so this litter of cubs is really important for the regional breeding program.”

The newborns will spend their fi rst few months of life behind the scenes. They will receive their fi rst health checks and vaccinations, before Marion starts to introduce them to the world outside the den, including to dad Lwazi and their three older sisters Imani, Mara and Amali.

In the meantime, guests can see the zoo’s three elder states-lions Kiamba, Zalika and Tiombe, as well as Lwazi and the 18-month-old cubs at Lion Pride Lands at Taronga Western Plains Zoo.

Did you participate in the bird count last month?

THE preliminary results for the Aussie Bird Count held last month were revealed by conservation leader BirdLife Australia on November 2.

With more than 420,000 counted, the colourful Rainbow Lorikeet has once again come out on top, beating the Noisy Miner with nearly 220,000, and the iconic Australian Magpie with around 154,000 counted.

Over 80,000 Aussies counted more than 3.6 million birds during the weeklong bird count, submitting

over 100,000 checklists and observing 658 bird species.

“The enthusiasm with which Australians have taken to the Aussie Bird Count has been outstanding,” said Sean Dooley from BirdLife Australia.

Over the past 10 years, the Aussie Bird Count has helped raise the profi le of Australia’s bird life and encouraged thousands of people around the country to connect with nature.

Nearly one in six bird species in Australia at risk of extinction from threats

such as climate change, habitat loss, fires, and invasive species, according to BirdLife Australia. The organisation relies on data to inform priorities and insights from monitoring projects such as the annual bird count to help shape its broader bird conservation strategy which aims to halt bird extinctions by 2032 and overall bird declines by 2050.

The results will be closely vetted by avian experts with a comprehensive data release later this year.

Spooktacular Halloween fun in Narromine

Don’t get between Liam HealeySmith and his lollies on Halloween!

Libby and Jane Healey disguised as Wednesday and Morticia Addams.

By SHARON BONTHUYS MORE than two dozen households, businesses and organisations joined in the Halloween fun last week for families trick or treating in Narromine.

Local efforts were again coordinated by resident and Halloween fan Stacey Brown, who collated the list of households and other places to visit and even produced a map showing

She’s not quite sure how many children ended up trick or treating in Narromine on October 31, but the feedback from students at the school where she works made it all worthwhile. “[Hearing the] kids the next day talking about how cool some houses’ decorations were or how many treats they got and how much fun they had –

it made my day,” she said.

To ensure those participating in the trick or treating were safe, everyone agreed to follow a few simple but effective rules.

Children had to be accompanied by an adult at all times, and could only visit the nominated addresses on the list between 5.00pm and 6.30pm.

If a household or business had removed their balloons

from out the front, it meant they had shut down for the night and were not to be disturbed. A real possibility if all their lollies had been distributed! Final rules included minding manners and having fun.

We did hear about a group trick or treating who allegedly tipped over garbage bins set out for collection along Third Avenue in Narromine south,

Deadline is 12pm Tuesday.

which those involved subsequently righted with an apology. Perhaps that was an example of a Halloween “trick” in action?

The Narromine Library joined Rose’s Have A Chat Cafe as the non-residential trick or treating hotspots on the night.

We thank the library team and local Chris Kelly for sharing some of their spooktacular photos with us.

Socktober at St Augustine’s

Crazy sock day at St Augustine’s Parish School last week. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

By WILLOW BROTHERTON AND DOTTIE STANLEY, ST AUGUSTINE’S SCHOOL

AT St Augustine’s Parish School we are “guided by Jesus Christ, and the needs of our wider community”.

Last Friday, we chose to make a difference to the lives of families in Timor-Leste (East Timor) facing health and wellness challenges by wearing crazy socks for the “Socktober” fundraising event at which we were asked to bring a gold coin donation.

After adding it all up, we raised a total of $120 for the event!

It was a wonderful sight seeing our students all wearing crazy socks, whether it was odd socks, brightly-coloured, or even old socks.

Every class took a photo showing off their awesome socks. We had a wonderful time.

It is a great feeling to be able to help others.

We are eager to see their socks next year!

HSC exams officially end for New 70,000 Year 12 students in museum NSW chair MICHAEL Fenwick was elected unopposed as the new Narromine Aviation Museum Chair at the organisation’s Annual Generation Meeting on November 7. He replaces outgoing chair Peter Kierath.

Committee members for the next year include Paul McCallum (secretary), Beryl Hartley (treasurer), Bob Richardson, Sarah Ballhausen, John MacCallum, Lyn Jablonski, Fiona Pasin, Di Beaumont, Les Lambert, Stewart Hignett and George Mack.

MARKING the end of 13-years of formal education for thousands of students in western NSW, the fi nal HSC (Higher School Certificate) exams were held last Friday for Year 12 students in NSW. This year, a total of 68,689 students finished school, with another 8150 pupils, many not yet in Year 12, completed at least one HSC course.

Over the past three weeks, close to 400,000 exams were successfully conducted, thanks to a major preparation effort by principals, teachers, school-based support staff and exam staff.

The fi nal exam involved nearly 4000 students sitting the fi nal Food Technology exam, with feedback from teachers and students saying the exams were fair and gave students the opportunity to show what they know.

Marking of HSC exams has already be-

gun as 5500 HSC markers pore over more than 1.2 million response booklets, before HSC and ATAR results are released on Thursday, December 14, Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car, revealed.

“The hard work is done and today our Year 12 students can celebrate everything they have achieved,” Ms Car said.

“Reaching the end of a 13-year schooling career is a major accomplishment… all Year 12 students deserve to feel proud. I also want to tell all Year 12 students that they are not defi ned by their results,” she added She said that there are many pathways to success, and multiple ways to achieve one’s dreams.

“What matters is that you are leaving school proud of who you are, and ready to move on to the next phase of your life,” she concluded.

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT

By COLIN HODGES ALMOST 11-years-ago a filly named Kindness trained by the late Don Ryan from Bathurst, won a class one handicap at Dubbo defeating Shiraz trained locally by Peter Nestor.

Shiraz later won group three races in Sydney and Melbourne while Kindness was retired to stud after winning two races at Bathurst and Dubbo from six starts.

In that 2012 race Kindness was ridden by Greg Ryan, no relation of the Ryan family who bred the fi lly from their outstanding racehorse and brood mare Amourous.

On Saturday, November 4 before a huge crowd at Dubbo, four-year-old gelding Timmy, the son of Kindness, won the 1200 metres Garde class one handicap.

Bred and raced by the Ryan family and trained by Andrew Ryan, Timmy ($12) ridden by Ashleigh Stanley, led most of the way for a close win over Ms Reeves (Ronald Simpson, $7.50) and Luna Eagle (Michael Heagney, $26).

In the following race the 1300 metres JLE Group Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap, the Andrew Ryan-trained Laffi ng Waters (Zoe Hunt, $2.90 to $2.40 fa-

Racing Dubbo Derby Day vourite) bred by the Ryan family from their three times winner Just Pay Up, led throughout to beat Hemsted (Julia Presits, $7) and Inzaghi (Clayton Gallagher, $10).

In the feature event at Dubbo, the 1000 metres Hello Sport Handicap, there was a pleasing return to form by the Dar Lunn-trained six-year-old grey mare Praline.

Coming from last with a powerful run down the outside, Praline (Braith Nock. $10) arrived in time to beat Driving Force (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $15) and Innervoice (Ben Looker, $19).

Raced by Guy Mitchell from Binnaway and Rob Pratten from Dubbo, Praline has now won seven races, four of them being at Dubbo.

Michael Lunn, a brother of Dar Lunn and also a trainer at Dubbo, won the 2200 metres Redimix and MAAS Western Eagle Benchmark 58 Handicap with Our City (Mikayla Weir, $7 to $5) which came from midfield to defeat Love Rules (Chelsea Hillier, $3.80) and Piccapeppa (Mitch Stapleford, $3.70 favourite).

Gulgong trainer Brett Thompson trained both the sire Great Choice and the dam Leica Poet, of Barry The Poet, winner of the 1400 metres Macquarie Geotech Country Boosted Maiden Plate.

Raced by Mark and Barry Beach from Warren, Barry

The Poet (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.10 fav.) over the closing stages wore down Sports Page (Wendy Peel, $15) and Let Rip (Ronald Simpson, $2.50).

Natalie Pearce does an excellent job with her small team at Dubbo which includes Rockin’ Edition winner of the 1000 metres Dandy Maiden Handicap after placings at Dubbo and Coonabarabran.

Close to home Rockin’Edition (Ken Dunbar, $2.60 fav.) overhauled I’m Independent (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $9) to score by a short head with Exsensible (Braith Nock, $3.70) a handy third.

Joshua (Ronald Simpson, $2.60 fav) led for home but was run down and beaten a long neck by the Brett Robb-trained All I Have (Clayton Gallagher, $9.50) with A Pound Of Salt (Ashleigh Stanley, $19) fi nishing third in the 1600 metres Schwarz Excavations Class One and Maiden Plate.

Racing Wellington FOLLOWING his treble at Mudgee, the Gulgong based Jake Pracey-Holmes rode a winning double, Avalicious and Little Bit Flash on Monday at Wellington.

Crossing quickly from the outside barrier, Avalicious found the early lead before being steadied going down the back straight by Pracey-Holmes in the 1600 metres Diamond

Dog Pest Control Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Still in front turning for home the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo-trained Avalicious ($3.80) lasted to win by a short half head from Seaside Sandy (Kayla Nisbet, $3.30 to $2.70 favourite) with a short head to third placed Destiny’s Son (Jake Barrett, $7.50).

From the Jeremy Gask stable at Scone, three-year-old fi lly Little Bit Flash ($1.95 to $1.70 favourite) was given a cosy run by Jake Pracey-Holmes and wore down La Pelago (Anna Roper, $2.80) to win by a half neck with the third placegetter Hammoon Mayhem, $20) four lengths away in the 1100 metres Branson Maiden Handicap.

Breaking through to win the 1400 metres Allendale Merino Stud Country Boosted Maiden Plate was Zarizatiz, a half-brother to On A Promise the winner of 11 races including the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final at Coonamble in 2021.

Like the now retired On A Promise, Zarizatiz is owned by a group from Lake Cargelligo and Tullibigeal and trained at Dubbo by Brett Robb.

Zarizatiz (Clayton Gallagher, $2.80 to $2.40 fav.) had a charmed run behind the leader before beating Sensei Jackie (Ronald Simpson, $7) and Casual Mood (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.60).

Vale, Rick Bohm Improved GERRIES GOLF

Last start Orange winner Wilbury ($3), brought up a double for Clayton Gallagher and Brett Robb when joining in halfway down the straight and sprinting to a two and a quarter lengths win over Life’s A Party (Serg Lisnyy, $4.60) and Precious Socks, Mathew Cahill, $3.50) in the 1100 metres Di Thatcher Memorial-Country Boosted Class One Handicap.

A winning double also for Bathurst trainer Roy McCabe with Monte Zoncolan and Our Orator.

Finishing fast down the outside in the 900 metres Grand Hotel Bottle Shop Maiden Plate, Monte Zoncolan (Ashleigh Stanley, $13) won by a nose and a long head respectively from Fruit Tingle (Ronald Simpson, $5.50) and Flight Or Fight, $7.50).

Ronald Simpson was aboard Our Orator ($4) which reeled in the leaders to win the 1400 metres Central West Electrics Class Two Handicap from Illusive Star (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $3.30) and Mr Invincible (Clayton Gallagher, $3.10 fav.)

A handy line-up of sprinters in the 1100 metres Wellington Soldiers Club Benchmark 66 Handicap and it was the Garry Kirkup, Canberra-trained Frisson (Mathew Cahill, $7.50) fi nishing best from midfield to beat Beauchamp (Zoe Hunt, $3 fav.) and Daredevil (Jake Barrett, $14).

Remond numbers for wins Saturday comp the Jean Walters’ trophy

By NORM LEWIS

PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE Narromine Star team was very saddened to learn of the passing of our regular Narromine Bowling Club correspondent, Norman “Rick” Bohm last Friday.

His often rollicking bowls reports made our week. I remember being very intrigued when first reading about the hotly contested tournaments and the goings on of those Rick described as the “window tappers”.

Sadly, he phoned through his fi nal report to me last week as he was once again in hospi-

tal, very unwell. He signed off that call promising to work on a vale report for club member Des Lincoln, who also passed away just a few weeks ago. It’s a report he never got to fi nish or fi le.

The funeral will take place today in Narromine, as per the funeral notice in this paper. In next week’s edition we will feature a more in-depth vale for Rick Bohm.

Rick, we will miss you and your reports more than you will ever know.

Hope you fi nd a good “bowly” in heaven.

LAST Saturday, there was an improved field for the Gerries weekly comp at “Royal Narromine”, with a total of eight ladies and eight men facing the starter on the day.

In the ladies division, some great scores were recorded with Carol McCalman and Wendy Jefferies handing in tallies of 27 stableford points each.

A count-back fi nally determined the winner who was Carol McCalman, with Wendy taking second place.

There was no lady winner in the Nearestthe-Pin event, however there was a battle royale for the NAGA prize, with Michelle Ashdown and Maida O’Mally tied on 15 points. After the count-back, Maida took the prize.

Over on the front nine, eight men battled it out for the major prize with Mal Richardson back in the winner’s circle with a score of 21 points. Well done, Mal! Runner-up on the day was Jamie Roberts on 20 points with Neil Ashdown making a comeback, taking home the NAGA prize with 14 points, nearly a double for the Ashdown family!

Once again, there was no winner of the men’s Nearest-the-Pin though, in all, it was a pleasant morning’s golf.

Next weekend, the ladies will play the front nine, with gents on the back.

Hope to see you all at the 19th!

By DALE HARDING UNFORTUNATELY, last Wednesday’s golf was a washout, but we still held our lunch and presentation.

On Saturday though, we played the Jean Walters Memorial Trophy with Toni Martin and Mary Lowing, two of Jean‘s daughters, attending.

The winner was Mardi Remond with a score of +2, with golf ball winners Wendy Jeffrey and Bev Woods on all square.

The Nearest-the-Pin was won by Vicki Gainsford, and the drawn card was won by Jeanette O’Brien.

Yesterday, we held the play-off for the Monthly Medal McLaughlin Shield, and Jean Richardson won the nine-hole play-off trophy.

This weekend, we are playing a Stableford event for an 18-hole trophy donated by Jeanette O’Brien, plus a nine-hole putting competition for everybody for a trophy donated by Carol McCalman.

Council exhibits final plan for park precinct

By ANDREW TARRY NARROMINE Shire Council has released the fi nal plan for the Dundas and Payten Park precinct. The plans showcase the culmination of months of work by Yonder, a landscape architecture and urban design practice based in Albury Wodonga, and the many rounds of community consultation and collaboration with the Narromine council.

Although there are some minor details to be fi nalised regarding the pizza oven and “charging places”, and the inclusion of a synthetic running track, the “heart of Narromine” could be set for drastic improvements with the

plan crossing another hurdle after being adopted by council at the October meeting.

The fi nal precinct plan contains a host of features to be developed for the precinct along with the refurbishment of existing infrastructure and features at the two parks. The plan has included lighting at Dundas Park as well as additional sensory play elements and play equipment for the playground. The design objective for each park differs slightly however, from the plans for each park it is evident that a high-quality recreational precinct and environment is desired, which aims to improve sporting facilities, provide inclusive amenities,

provide safe and accessible connections to each park location, and facilitate a more diverse user experience.

The fi nal plan provided by Yonder also sets out the “staging” implementation of the precinct. That is, the time and costs anticipated to complete all the work required. It has been recommended to the council by yonder. that before the council proceeds with implementing the precinct plan it should undertake a “detailed landscape and engineering design to develop design and establish costings for specific projects and seek funding based on the outcomes of detailed design”.

Yonder have provided an in-

dication of the likely overall cost however, these estimates are subject to inflation and rises or falls in prices for materials and labour. In the fi nal precinct plan the estimated cost is $6,313,770. Previously, the council estimated that the overall cost of the plan was approximately $5 million.

The consultancy work completed by Yonder has already been budgeted and paid for.

The remaining work to complete the plan “will depend on future grant applications and budget consideration”, according to the council October business paper.

“Now that the precinct plan is adopted council will prioritise works in conjunc-

tion with clubs and available grant funding. The report to council highlighted that additional storage was high on the list for clubs as an example of the next priority.

“Over time grant opportunities will become apparent and at present these opportunities include the Local Sport Grant Program and the Level the Playing Field Program.

Many of the available funding programs have a matching contribution that must be made which is an additional complexity. The development of the Precinct will be considered along with all other priorities,” said Jane Redden the general manager of Narromine Shire council.

The staging outline provided by yonder. is the following: Timeframe Scope of Works Current Short term zero to three years

Medium term three to six years

Long term six++ years

Soccer club facili es including storage, canteen, and toilets.

Fencing to playground.

Addi on of sensory play elements and accessible play equipment.

Restrooms and picnic shelter at playground.

Narromine council team receive inaugural award

By ANDREW TARRY THE inaugural winner of the Australian Water Industry Operations Association NSW Team of the Year has been announced, with the Narromine Shire Council’s water and sewer team taking out the prize.

The award was announced at

the association’s conference in Canberra last week.

The council has praised the work of the team which comprises of Anthony Everett, David Kent, Duanne Donnelly, Kyle Whalen, Washington Itoya, Isayah Kelly, and Thomas Newlands. The team “blew all other contenders out

of the water” said a council spokesperson with the prize being awarded for the team’s outstanding design input and work on the Tomingley Water Treatment Plant, while continuing to carry out major projects and day-to-day functions across the Narromine shire.

“Council was overjoyed to

learn of the water utilities team’s success. It’s a well-deserved honour for the team’s efforts in providing these services to the community,” said general manager Jane Redden.

“Winning this inaugural award is undoubtedly a significant accomplishment for

the Narromine Shire Council team, and it reflects their commitment to maintaining water services at such a high standard and their talent and dedication in delivering essential water services,” said Mrs Redden.
