Capsules that could stop crop pests IMAGINE if you could drop a small ball among your crops and eradicate most pest species? A new way of combatting crop pests using naturally-derived technologies and processes has earned a recent podium fi nish for an innovative Australian company based in Wee Waa. Crop Capsules has been awarded a top-three fi nish for its CottonCAP® and CanolaCAP® products at Europe’s largest event for the biological pest control sector. The products were fi nalists in the “innovative products assisting in the uptake of Biocontrol” award category contested by 37 submissions. The Bernard Blum Award, hosted by peak body The International Biological Control Manufacturers Association (IBMA), showcases worldwide innovation for a sector worth almost $10 billion and growing at more than 15 per cent each year. The technology utilises biological control methods, introducing pest-specific parasitoids as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional “synthetic” insecticides. Continued page 11

World gliding championships not impacted by snap ports closure Narromine is set to host the 37th FAI World Gliding Championships in a few weeks.

By SHARON BONTHUYS ORGANISERS of the 37th Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Gliding Championships have conﬁ rmed that last Friday’s snap ports closure will not impact their event which starts in Narromine later this month. The country’s largest ports operator, DP World Australia, closed its operations in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle late last week following a cyber-breach – effectively halting the movement of freight in and out of all of those ports. International gliding teams have been busy shipping their competition gliders and equipment to Australia for the world championships. Competitors from Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, Denmark, Ukraine, Japan, Finland,

Great Britain, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, the United States, Hungary, the Czech Republic, South Africa, Belgium, New Zealand, The Netherlands, France and Germany will join Australia at the event in Narromine which runs from December 2-16. Informal practice for the championships starts on November 26, with formal practice starting two days later. As some shipping containers are still yet to arrive in Narromine, questions arose as to whether some international competitors could be caught up in the ports’ closure and their gliders and equipment not make it to Narromine in time. Beryl Hartley from the Narromine Gliding Club, part of the organising team and responsible for local resourcing at the world gliding

championships, told the Narromine Star that a potential crisis has been averted. “All [shipping containers] but one have been located at this time,” she said. Mrs Hartley said several containers are yet to arrive in Narromine but organisers at least know where they are and are working to locate the other container. This will no doubt be welcome news to international competitors. DP World Australia detected the cyber-breach last Friday, November 10, and disconnected its internet system, The Guardian reported. This impacted the stevedore’s port operations across Australia and the company indicated operations would be impacted for several days as a result. Operations resumed at 9.00 am on Monday, November 13 following the testing of key

systems, the company said in a statement. More than 5,000 containers were expected to move out of the four impacted terminals on that day alone.

Resuming logistical operations across the country is a huge undertaking and the company said further disruptions may occur.

“The ongoing investigation and response to protect networks and systems may cause some necessary temporary disruptions to services in the coming days,” the company said.

The investigation into the cyber-breach by DP World Australia and government agencies including the National Cyber Security Coordinator and Australian Cyber Security Centre is continuing.

By SHARON BONTHUYS RECENTLY retired local ﬁ re service captain Ewen Jones was delighted and more than a little shocked to ﬁ nd out he had been formally acknowledged in the NSW Parliament recently. The special mention by the Member for Dubbo Electorate, Dugald Saunders MP, took place on September 12 and a copy of the Hansard record was pro-

vided to Ewen as a keepsake last week. Ewen retired from his role as Captain of Station 401 Narromine Fire and Rescue NSW on September 1 after almost 32 years’ service. “I’ve had my captain’s ﬁ reﬁghting helmet at work for a couple of weeks now after I asked Dugald Saunders to sign it.” Ewen took the helmet down to the electorate of-

100 issues: thank you ShopLocal with us to our contributors, sponsors and readers By THE NARROMINE STAR TEAM IT’S hard to believe that the Narromine Star has been going for two years. The time has just ﬂown. Our task, through all of this, has been to try to bring a cross-section of local news, community issues and events, school and sporting activities to our readers. Yes, we know that a weekly publication can’t possibly match the immediacy of social media posts, and when you read our stories they’re yesterday’s or last week’s news. When you do get to read them though, they’re more than just a 50word snippet of something that happened yesterday or last week. We know from what

we’ve heard out and about that some people just don’t read newspapers and some are very vocal about this, and don’t see the value in it. But we also know that a lot of local people do read our paper – because they tell us. Our team members are regularly stopped in the street, or people stop in at our office to drop off contributions, story leads and the occasional yummy cake. Our paper doesn’t magically write itself, and no, we do NOT use artiﬁcial intelligence (AI) to generate any of our stories or advertising. All the stories, submissions and advertising we publish are the work of creative humans. The Narromine Star would like to take this opportunity to thank all

those who contribute stories for publication, particularly those who provide regular submissions, and who contact us with story leads or tips. You help make this newspaper what it is: 100 per cent local stories, or items from farther afield linked as much as possible to local people and issues. People living in many parts of Australia today don’t have access to local newspapers. We guess you don’t miss something until it’s not there anymore. We are grateful to those foundation sponsors whose support in the fi rst year made it possible for the Narromine Star to take fl ight: the Narromine Shire Council, Inland Petroleum, Tomingley Gold Operations Pty Ltd, and

the Narromine United Services Memorial Club. Thank you for believing in the need for local news. We’re grateful to our editor, Lucie Peart, and publisher, Tim Pankhurst, for encouraging us to make connections with communities and go down the occasional rabbit hole to see where a story lead might take us. We miss Tim Cooper, our friend and colleague gone too soon, but thank him for the fun times and the ideas that he left us with. And ﬁ nally, we’d like to thank you, our readers and supporters, for continuing to support the Narromine Star. Without you we would not have a paper. Thanks for sticking with us. Sharon, Zoe, Kayla, Andrew

THE Narromine Star is a trusted voice in local media. Advertising is an important part of what we do, ﬁ lling the spaces in between our stories and other items. We’d like to thank everyone who has worked with us over the past two years, trusting us with their advertising and supporting local news and views in the process. How can we help you with advertising? We can provide professionally written advertorial content and excellent graphic design to further support your investment in our newspaper. A common catchcry around town is: “I saw it in the Star!” We want to build on this, knowing our readership demographic largely favours print media over online and trusts the content displayed within our pages. Investing in the Narromine Star to carry your advertising to local readers is also an investment in promoting your brand to local rural communities through a trusted media source. To thank our advertisers, all advertising placed with the Narromine Star before December 13 will go into the popular region-wide ShopLocal draw for a chance to win four x $250 vouchers to be spent at local businesses in the shire. The draw will take place on December 19. Thank you, and we look forward to working with you.

Your views sought: new big renewable energy project for Narromine ASIA Paciﬁc Waste Solutions (APWS) seeks to establish a Renewable Energy and Circular Chemicals facility in the Narromine Shire at Narwonah, south of Narromine. In preparation for the project’s commencement, APWS has engaged with Narromine Shire Council and the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to brief them on the proposal. Further discussions with all relevant regulatory and community stakeholders will take place as the project progresses through the NSW

planning process over the next several months. Interconnected to the ARTC Inland Rail, the Narwonah Renewable Energy and Circular Chemicals Project would further develop and enable a Circular Economy in regional Australia at a time when soft plastics waste, energy security, and waste management are key issues at the forefront of community and industry concerns. The project is slated to offer substantial local and regional beneﬁts to local employment, generating 250 direct jobs dur-

Community Engagement Sessions Narwonah Renewable Energy & Circular Chemicals Project Asia Pacific Waste Services (APWS) invites you to attend community engagement sessions on the renewable energy and circular chemicals facility proposed for Narwonah, Narromine Shire.

Date: November 28 and 29 Time: 7-9pm Venue: Narromine USMC

ing the construction phase, 150 direct jobs during its operation stage, and 200 indirect jobs in the local regional supply chain. These would be secure positions within the Narromine Business community not reliant on seasonal cropping. The project would also offer direct energy benefits to the communities of Narromine and surrounds, securing a renewable energy supply to the residents of Narromine Shire, commercial and industrial users in the vicinity of the project

and export to the power grid. The project would also herald significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by diverting waste from landfi ll, and in reducing the reliance on fossil fuel derived energy. APWS has advised that Project Capital Expenditure for Stage One is anticipated to be $300-400 million, with the fi nal stage projected at $1.8 billion. APWS Director, Mr Tracy Dignum, indicated that the company has begun a community consultation process to ascertain public support for the Narwonah project.

This will include community engagement sessions at the Narromine USMC later this month. “These sessions are a chance to ask questions about the Narwonah Renewable Energy and Circular Chemicals Project, provide feedback and share your local knowledge with the project team,” Mr Dignum said. For further information about the public community engagement sessions or to view the project website, see the advertisement on this page.

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

Dandaloo Church gets a minister

Reverend Brian Schmalkuche preparing for his service at Dandaloo.

The Dandaloo church was built in 1888.

The final resting place of the original builders of the church, the Martel family.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

LOCALS who worship at the historic Dandaloo Church on the banks of the Bogan River have welcomed a commitment by Reverend Brian Schmalkuche to conduct their monthly service. Reverend Schmalkuche is from the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst and already travels to the region fortnightly from his home in Parkes to provide ministry at the Narromine Anglican Church. He now also attends the Dandaloo Church on the ﬁ rst Sunday of every month, much to the delight of local worshippers.

“I have great love for this site. It has been cared for by so many people for so long,” Reverend Schmalkuche said of the tiny historic chapel which was built in 1888 at a time when Dandaloo was a thriving small rural community. It is literally all that physically remains now. During his most recent visit on November 5, he conducted a full service including communion for those present. Kathy McKinnon said it was a great relief to have Reverend Schmalkuche coming each month now, as previous attempts to lock in visiting clergy had been very difficult.

The post-church coffee and catch up is an important part of the day.

The McKinnon family have been caretakers and custodians of the 135-year old church for generations. The family feels a close and personal duty to maintain the historic structure that has survived despite nature’s best attempts to claim it every time the Bogan bursts its banks, unlike the old Martel homestead next door that disappeared long ago. “[The church] was ﬂooded six times last year and it’s still here,” Kathy said. “We keep it going.” The family is currently looking at what work needs to be done to the foundations following last year’s annus horribilis

with inclement weather. Julie McRae lives across the river in the Lachlan Shire and it takes half an hour for her to drive to the monthly church service in the current road conditions. “This little church is very important,” she said, thankful that Reverend Schmalkuche will be visiting regularly. Margaret and Lloyd Hewett are also regular worshippers at the Dandaloo Church. “We’ve been coming regularly for the last few years. It’s only due to God that [the church] is still here. You wouldn’t believe what happened to it in the ﬂoods,” Mar-

garet said. “There’s something special about churches out here,” said Lorraine Day, who grew up in Albert and now travels from Narromine for the monthly service. “The McKinnon family is to be credited with keeping it in such a great state of repair.” Anyone who would like to attend the monthly church service is welcome, Kathy McKinnon said. Plans are underway for the congregation’s annual Christmas service which will take place in mid-December. Details of the service will be listed in the classiﬁeds in the near future.

Adrian serves with a smile at Trangie’s IP servo By SHARON BONTHUYS IN case you didn’t know it yet, Inland Petroleum’s Trangie service station has a very helpful attendant available to assist for several hours on weekdays. Adrian Cottier operates the small shop on site at the servo and shows patrons and visitors how to use the outdoor payment terminal. He also assists the elderly and those with mobility limitations by pumping petrol and diesel for them, if needed. “Adrian can also assist with windscreen cleaning and oil checks,” said Brittany Willetts from Inland Petroleum. Another bonus is that while Adrian is onsite between 10 am and 3 pm on weekdays, he can also accept cash payments from those without debit or credit cards. Cash transactions cannot be accepted outside the hours that Adrian is not on site, however, which includes weekends. This is great news for local residents and visitors. Well done, Adrian!

The shop facility is located just behind the pumps.

BreastScreen visit to shire By SHARON BONTHUYS THE BreastScreen NSW mobile van has arrived in the Narromine Shire and will spend the next several weeks conducting all-important free screening for local women aged over 40. In Narromine, the van will be located in the council carpark until November 30. It will then move on to Trangie from December 4-6, where it will be stationed next to the community hall in Dandaloo Street. Deon Adamson, Manager, BreastScreen NSW (Greater Western), says a regular breast screen is one of the most important things women can do for their health. “Detecting breast cancer early increases your chance of survival while reducing

the likelihood of invasive treatment, such as mastectomy or chemotherapy. “Around 90 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history. This is why breast cancer screening is so important for all eligible women. “Bringing these vital services to Narromine and Trangie means more local women can be screened. Life gets busy and we want women to make their health a priority.” The beneﬁts of breast screen mammograms include: f Breast screening reduces the number of deaths from breast cancer f A screening mammogram can ﬁ nd very small cancers – the size of a grain of rice – before they can be felt or noticed by you or your doctor.

f When breast cancer is found early, the cancer is more likely to be small, which is when treatment is most successful. f Finding breast cancer early means a better chance of survival. f Women whose breast cancer is detected by BreastScreen NSW are half as likely to need a mastectomy. f For women over 50, a screening mammogram is the best method for early detection of breast cancer. f Breast screening is completely free and the appointment only takes 20 minutes. The mobile clinic visiting Narromine and Trangie is equipped with a lift system to support women with health conditions or disability to have their mammogram. Women with additional needs

dogs of mayhem” with everyone on board that Sunday morning. Even the kitchen sink wasn’t safe. Over the next couple of years Rick attended TAFE courses in Dubbo obtaining certificates or degrees in accountancy and business management. Rick was offered the position of control room monitor at Macquarie Alarms, a position he held for just over 10 years before he was made redundant in 2011 when the business was sold. Rick was not one to pump up his own tyres when it came to bowling achievements on and off the field: f Off the field he is a life member of three organisations, the Dubbo RSL Men’s Social Golf Club, the Far West District Bowling Association and the Zone 4 Bowling Association f He is currently the chairman of the Zone 4 Match Committee, a position he held for the last decade. He has also held the positions of treasurer and secretary of the zone for the last two decades. f On the bowling arena, Rick has won two state pennants with Narromine Bowling Club. f He has won at zone level the Champion of Champion Pairs.

Rick’s Eulogy By MAHALIA MAHER NORMAN Richard, also known as Rick, Bohm was born to loving parents Iris Kelly and Raymond Charles Leigh Bohm on June 1, 1956. Rick’s earliest memory, although a bit foggy because all his parts weren’t fully developed, was attending Mum and Dad’s wedding in December 1955. Rick along with his brothers and the angel had a great childhood apart from “Bootlace” managing to get run over by Mum backing out the car and the usual scrapes and broken bones. All in all it was a happy household. Rick’s working life commenced on March 1, 1976 with the Coco Cola Company in Dubbo. Rick shifted to Dubbo in 1978 when the commute became a tad awkward. A change in the company’s distribution operation saw Rick made redundant in 1999. At the time Rick’s budget was well in excess of $1 million dollars. A reasonable payout meant laser surgery on his eyes was affordable and completed in

2000. It was the same scenario with a gastric sleeve operation done in the early 2000’s, somewhere around 2004. Rick also moved home to Narromine in 1999 and was

able to support Mum, till she decided to sell the house in Merilba Street and together they moved into a unit in Meringo Street around 2007. This meant Rick had to over-

see the greatest garage sale Narromine had ever seen. Rick, with the aid of Aunty Julie and Ralph, waited ﬁve minutes after mum had left to go to church to “release the

Mudyigalang does it again! By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Dubbo Support Group has one thousand reasons to smile following a generous donation from the crafty folk at Mudyigalang “Many Hands” Craft Group. The support group is the latest recipient of the fundraising efforts of the Narromine craft group, which runs raffles through the year and sells items at its shop in Dandaloo Street. Mudyigalang volunteers presented a cheque to the RFDS Dubbo Support Group volunteers Jeanette Hamilton and Christine Borchardt on November 10. Robyn Brown from Mudyigalang said the craft group decided to support the RFDS Dubbo Support Group because so many people in the local community relied on the different RFDS services. The group’s generous support will assist the Dubbo RFDS to purchase equipment and other needs. “Thank you so much for your support,” Jeanette said to the

Mudyigalang volunteers. Some of the past purchases for the RFDS from public donations have included ﬁve patient transport vehicles, as well as paying for aircraft maintenance, and the popular mobile education unit that recently made an appearance in Narromine at the Dolly Festival, she said. Jeanette said it was important for rural communities to continue to support the RFDS because the money raised comes back to those communities. Sometimes the support arrives on wheels of a different sort as not all RFDS services involve aerial travel. “There’s a mental health van that comes out and provides support. They also do mobile dental services from Dubbo. They also do medical clinics so will fly or drive in. They go to Lightning Ridge, all through the opal fields, Bourke and to the west,” Jeanette said. “They take the doctor to the people rather than the people having to travel,” Christine said. Well done, Mudyigalang “Many Hands Craft Group”.

Dandaloo Church: 1888 - 2013 - Part 1 April 7, 2013 (updated 2018) Introduction By JANET MCKINNON A.B. (Banjo) Patterson obviously knew the district of Dandaloo well – and having jackerooed on Tabratong Station, just down river from here, he no doubt would! The opening lines of his poem “An Idyll of Dandaloo”... ‘On western plains, where shade is not, ‘Neath summer skies of cloudless blue, Where all is dry and all is hot, There stands the town o f D a n d a l o o . . .’

Marion Stewart with son Malcom in front of the Dandaloo Church in 1964. PHOTO: TOTTENHAM HISTORICAL SOCIETY. THE Narromine Star visited Dandaloo Church for its monthly service earlier this month. The tiny non-denominational chapel on the banks of the Bogan is 135 years young, and still going despite many attempts by nature to carry it away across those years. The McKinnon family have been carers and custodians of the property, and we are grateful to them for providing us with a personal history of Dan-

daloo Church, in the words of the late Janet McKinnon. Due to length, and not wanting anyone to miss any of it, we thought our readers might enjoy this personal historical recount as a serial over the next few issues. Part one of this fascinating story begins today.

Now just to set the historical scene a little – it is very hard to imagine Dandaloo in the late 1870’s, 80’s and 90’s, especially looking at all that remains today, and believe at that time it was thought of as ‘The rising township on the Bogan River’. However, one wonders if it ever really lived up to the highs and lows of Patterson’s other rollicking poem “An Evening in Dandaloo”? It was officially declared a village on March 20, 1885, and indeed in its ‘hey-day’ at the end of the 19th century and early 1900’s could boast three hotels, a school, store, butcher shop, blacksmith, saddler, post office and dwellings, as well as a fully manned police station with a lock-up and court house. (That is where we built our house in 1954-5, supposedly out of ﬂood reach!) In fact there were some rather grand plans for the little village as evidenced by maps

drawn up at this time as you can see! Even making land available for a hospital, park etc not to mention the huge new cemetery, also shown on the map! The old cemetery behind the township (with the pink granite obelisk) having reached its capacity. It is now known as the Pioneer Cemetery. Dandaloo was also on one of the main routes from east to west for the early settlers, many of whom came from the Molong area and travelled through Obley, over the range and onto the Bogan River which they followed west to good grazing land. There was also a good crossing point of the river at Dandaloo as the Bogan was a much bigger and better river in those days than now. This also proved important for the development of the village. The road running past the church was originally the main road to Nyngan, Cobar (mines) and beyond – also an early Cobb and Co route – with Dandaloo a recognised ‘changing station’ for the coaches and wagons, it being well set up for this. Dandaloo’s demise really began when the new railway passed it by on both the north and south sides, ﬁ rst going through Trangie in 1883, then, and more importantly, through Albert to Tottenham in 1919. (Of interest – I believe they wanted to call the new Albert rail siding “Dandaloo” but the locals would not hear of that and told the authorities to find another name – so Albert it was!) Transport and roads also became better and quicker. Some of the buildings from Dandaloo were eventually moved

to either Trangie or Albert or sold privately. A couple that come to mind would be the Police Station to Trangie for a private home and one of the hotels to Albert. A point of interest is the fact that the Dandaloo Police Station was the ﬁrst station to be opened west of Bathurst. It was usually manned by a Sergeant, two Constables and sometimes also an [Indigenous] tracker. There was a police residence, small court house and “lock-up”. A Magistrate (often a local) was called to hear the cases with recommendations to go further or not!

Notes

1) DANDALOO is believed NOT to be an Aboriginal name, but after a village in Belgium, close to the French border, that the Martels had a connection with, and not far from the famous village of Waterloo – the name of another ‘run’ upstream of Dandaloo, settled about the same time. However there are differing opinions on this, with many believing it comes from an Aboriginal word for ‘hailstone’. 2) The early explorers and possibly the local Aboriginal Warradgerie (sic) people originally knew the Bogan River as the ‘Bungan Galle’, so it seems Bogan may have evolved from that. 3) There was always a strong Aboriginal population living in and around Dandaloo as well as on the ‘mission’ situated approx ﬁve kilometres downstream of the village. Some of the descendants of these families have kept their ties with the area and still live in and around Dandaloo. For example, the Peckham family.

Rural revive: The vital role of exercise

By RENEE HORSTMAN UNLIKE bustling city life, rural areas foster better health through physical activity. Let’s unpack this further. Nature’s Gym: Rural areas, blessed with obvious natural beauty, serve as a sprawling gym for residents, in town and out. Whether it’s a quick walk along dirt roads and driveways or running through town, the rural environment seamlessly integrates exercise into daily life. Being surrounded by nature ampliﬁes the physical and mental beneﬁts of

regular activity. Community Fitness: In the heart of rural communities, exercise often takes the form of communal activities. From group walks to community sports events, these shared endeavours not only promote physical health but also strengthen social bonds. The collective pursuit of well-being becomes a unifying force, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. Agriculture as a Workout: For many in rural areas, daily chores are a builtin workout. Tending to crops, caring for animals, and maintaining vast expanses of land involve myriad physical tasks. This active lifestyle not only contributes to physical ﬁtness but also instills a strong work ethic and a deep connection to the land. Challenges and Opportunities: Rural areas face unique challenges in promoting exercise. Limited access to ﬁtness facilities and healthcare resourc-

es can pose hurdles, hence the importance to join and support local opportunities when presented. Mental Health Beneﬁts: Exercise in rural areas extends beyond the physical realm, offering substantial mental health beneﬁts. Serene surroundings provide a natural antidote to stress, anxiety, and the demands of modern life. A jog through the bush or yoga in the open air of the local park or river bank becomes a meditative experience, promoting mental clarity and emotional well-being. The rural landscape, with its inherent connection to nature and community, offers a lush ground for nurturing holistic wellbeing through exercise. As we celebrate the simplicity and richness of rural life, let us recognise the immense potential it holds for fostering health and vitality in our beautiful communities. Wishing you a healthier, happier lifestyle. Until next time, Renee.

The OFCP will provide $30 million over two years, with round one contributing $15 million towards rebates of up to 50 per cent of the cost of eligible smart farming technology which can assist with monitoring livestock, improving water efficiency, optimising soil quality, and improving farm logistics, and connectivity. Eligible primary producers have until June 30, 2024 or until round one funding is exhausted to access discounted smart farming technologies through one of the eligible equipment suppliers.

Dubbo Regional Sports Awards 2023 ON Friday, November 10, I had the pleasure of hosting the Dubbo Regional Sports Awards for the 16th consecutive year in conjunction with Dubbo Regional Council. These awards are an annual event recognising the talent of some of our finest home-grown sports stars and have now been running for over two decades. As always, the calibre of the athletes was very high and it was wonderful to acknowledge their achievements and contribution to sports at so many levels, from locally to nationally and beyond.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, November 16, 2023

Local turtle recovers at zoo AN Eastern Long-necked Turtle has been returned to the wild near Narromine after receiving life-saving treatment at the Wildlife Hospital at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. The turtle was rescued by a member of the public from a road in the Narromine region, and brought to the Wildlife Hospital where x-rays revealed several shell fractures. Over the next 11 weeks, the Zoo’s veterinary team stabilised one fracture, ﬂushed and cleaned another, conducted regular x-rays, and provided the turtle with pain relief, antibiotics and ﬂuid support. “Australian snake-necked turtles eat in water, but for wounds and fractures to heal they need to be dry and clean, so the turtle was allowed in water for an hour every few days to eat and maintained in a warm, dry hospital enclosure for the rest of its time here,” said veterinarian Dr Sarah Alexander. “After a couple of weeks, it started eating well, and 10 weeks after arrival we were able to remove the pin that had been stabilising the fracture.” The turtle was released into the Macquarie River near the Warren Road by veterinary nurse Katrina Burrell, who said releasing animals back to the wild “is the best part of my job”. “We selected this release site as it was close to where he was originally found, but it was also good natural habitat for the turtle and in a safe area away from the road,” she said. “Every year we see a lot of injured and diseased animals at the Wildlife Hospital, and unfortunately not all can be success-

fully rehabilitated and released. “So when we do get to release animals back to the wild it is incredibly rewarding and fulﬁ lling to know that we can have a positive impact on our local native wildlife and ecosystems. “There is growing pressure on our ecosystems from changing climate, severe weather events, human interference and habitat destruction, which results in a lot of injured, diseased and displaced animals. So having a direct role in helping them with a second chance is a huge part of why I love my job.” Dr Alexander said the case was a reminder for motorists to take care on the roads. “As it has warmed up, our reptiles in particular are out exploring during most of the day so if you’re lucky you’ll see a lot more of them,” she said. “If you ﬁ nd any injured wildlife on the roads, the best thing you can do is to call WIRES and one of their carers will be able to assist in getting the animal to us or another local wildlife hospital. “It’s always heart-warming to take an animal that in all likelihood wouldn’t have made it without our help, treat it, keep it comfortable and support it while it heals and then release it back into the wild, it’s one of the most satisfying parts of our job. “This turtle was just a juvenile and Australian snakenecked turtles can live for up to 50 years, so knowing you’ve helped save an animal that hopefully has a long life ahead of it is a great feeling. “We hope it will go on to live a long and happy life out in the wild.”

Capsules that could stop crop pests

This development from an innovative Australian company in Wee Waa has been internationally recThe Crop Capsules team are excited about their win. ognised . PHOTOS: CROP CAPSULES.

From page 1 This helps minimise the need for chemical interventions in the cultivation of major crops such as cotton, canola, and corn. Lucius Tamm IBMA’s CEO said: “It is good to see a product that is considering the economic value to growers on a large scale.” Crop Capsules’ technology has been used to suppress damaging populations of the pest insect silverleaf whitefly in cotton. In season 2022-23, CottonCap® capsules were applied to more than 50,000 hectares of Australian cotton, reducing the use of traditional insecticides for this pest by more than 90 per cent. CanolaCAP® capsules are also returning encouraging results in the suppression of aphids that infl ict yield losses in canola in excess of 30 per cent. The Wee Waa-based company has an ambitious research and development program that includes technical and commercial feasibility studies on the release of beneficial insects to suppress and control a more di-

verse range of pests in other broad acre crops. Team leader Adam Perkins attributes the company’s most recent success to having a great network of suppliers and a supportive base of agronomists and growers willing to try something different. “Change is hard, but it’s made a lot easier when all of your supply-chain has a common view of what future success looks like,” he said. Team members Anna Madden and Olivia Bange travelled to Basel, Switzerland, for the event. “Receiving this acknowledgement has been the culmination of almost 10 years’ worth of hard work in establishing our company,” Ms Madden said. “It is satisfying to be able to have overcome obstacles once considered too hard for sustainable biocontrol options in broad-acre agriculture,” she added. “It’s really exciting to see how much international interest there is in using more natural methods to protect broad acre crops,” Ms Bange said.

Remembrance Day in the shire By SHARON BONTHUYS POIGNANT Remembrance Day services were held in Narromine and Trangie last Saturday, November 11. Small crowds gathered in both locations to pay their respects to and remember all those who served, and those who lost their lives in past conflicts. The Narromine service was held by the local sub-branch of the Returned and Services League (RSL) at the cenotaph adjacent to Tom Perry Park. The Trangie service was held at the Trangie United Services Memorial Club. It was pleasing to see the number of young people attending the services. They are the future generations who will carry on these special observances in the years to come. We’re also grateful to David Taylor, president of the Narromine RSL subbranch, for sharing his reﬂections on Remembrance Day in this edition. Lest We Forget.

Remembrance Day and reflection By DAVID TAYLOR, NARROMINE RSL LAST Saturday, November 11, the Narromine RSL Subbranch and other community members gathered at the Cenotaph to remember the end of World War I (WWI). The service commenced at 10.45am. World War I began as a global conﬂ ict on August 4, 1914. It had started several days previously with only Serbia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Russia involved. When Germany and France entered the war, followed by Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, the other members of the then British Empire were drawn in. By the war’s end in 1918, around nine million soldiers had died, with a further ﬁve million civilians. Australia lost almost 60,000, most of whom were battleground casualties, with the remainder dying from injuries and sickness. Forty-nine of these

were from Narromine. At 11am on November 11, 1918, after four years of bloody conﬂ ict, the weapons of war on Europe’s Western Front fell silent. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, Germany and the other Central Powers of Europe were forced to make very large reparation payments to the Allies. These payments were very imposing on these countries, and Germany actually ceased them well before they were completed. The payments and other conditions were so harsh that many historians believe they were major factors leading to the economic and social instability that laid the foundation for the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, and the resultant Second World War (WWII). Both these wars are over now and many more have arisen since. Is there anything we can learn from the past, and

particularly from the close of hostilities we remember today? One suggestion is this – without the severe penalties placed on Germany, could WWII have been avoided? How might other conﬂ icts have been shaped or inﬂuenced or even avoided, if the Allies had NOT imposed those burdens on their former enemies? Granted, the aggressors should have had to make some sort of reparation – but could a lesser burden have been handled by them? Might they have not decided that another war was necessary to restore their pride? We may never know. But maybe we can learn from this – that exacting what we believe is a rightful punishment to satisfy our own sense of justice could result in something far worse. This doesn’t just apply to nations. As smaller community groups, and even as individuals, could we consider this? While we may have been

wronged – and there are many awful examples of this – sometimes it may be better for all of us in the long run, particularly on a personal basis, to not demand full recompense, but to seek ways to engage the wrongdoer in a meaningful way that doesn’t lead to bitterness, unhelpful hardship, and eventual desire for revenge. Let us, as individuals, seek to restore broken relationships and foster a sense of mutual wellbeing. Wars are started by people who feel either wronged or discontented. If that can be addressed by all of us on a personal basis, we may well avoid it nationally. In the meantime, we have to remember those times when conﬂ ict has occurred, and our men and women have served to protect us from aggression. We are obliged to honour them for the ultimate sacriﬁce that too many have made so that others can live in the freedom we enjoy today. Lest we forget.

Correction SINCEREST apologies to the lovely people at Western Rural Connect. We incorrectly referred to their organisation’s name in last week’s article about the harvest cut out ball they are organising for New Year’s Eve in Narromine.

How we all fall short of the Glory of God “NOBODY’S perfect, for we have all fallen short of the glory of God, and all are justiﬁed freely by his Grace, through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Romans: 3:23–24). Here’s the bad news… Oh, no! All of us have sinned. All of us have fallen short. Nobody is good enough to be in God’s presence. Nobody is perfect. Oh, no! The great news is, none of us has to be perfect (praise the Lord), because Jesus was perfect for us. Jesus never sinned. Jesus never fell short. But Jesus gave his life for us.

But wait — there’s more great news: We all have access to the Gospel. No-one is turned away. Any of us can call out to Jesus and say: “Please, save me! Let your perfect life cover mine.” We are all in trouble as soon as we are born. We are born selﬁ sh and sinful. We have all sinned, so we all need saving. But God knew this, and he gave us a way. Salvation is free and available to anyone, thanks to the redemption Jesus bought for us on the Cross. “And we know that in all things, God works for the good

Inland Rail activates new mobile base stations INLAND Rail has officially turned on two new mobile base stations in central west NSW. One is at Mount Tenandra, 60 kilometres west of Coonabarabran, and the other is at Kickabil, 40 kilometres north of Narromine. Delivered by Telstra, the new mobile base stations will enhance voice and data communications for trains on the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) network, but have also been augmented to improve local community coverage. Inland Rail is now working on delivering an additional mobile base station at Black Hollow, 60 kilometres east of Coonamble, with land access for this site secured and design now underway. Inland Rail has already invested $3.4 million in upgrades to mobile infrastructure in the Narrabri to North Star section of the project. Mobile base stations have been upgraded in North Star, Croppa Creek and Gurley with a new tower due to be constructed in Crooble in the coming months, providing improved connectivity for trains operating on the section and, in addition, for residents and businesses. All the new and upgraded infrastructure being rolled out is being ﬁtted with 5G-capable antennae, meaning that local homes and businesses will be able to receive 5G services without additional network upgrades being required in the future. The work, which is funded by Inland Rail and being delivered by Telstra, will form part of the legacy the Inland Rail project will leave with communities along the alignment to beneﬁt from the improvements for years to come.

of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose… what then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans: 8:28, 31). How would you feel if your parents sat you down and told you that they couldn’t afford to send you to the camp you were so excited about? Probably disappointed, frustrated, or even angry. Did you know that God works in all things, for the good of those who love him? That’s right, all things; the good things, God sends and

the bad things that happen. God is incapable of giving a bad gift. He only gives good gifts — gifts that are good for us, change our lives, and make us whole. But God uses the bad things that happen in this world to make us more like Jesus. Becoming like Jesus may sound scary. After all, Jesus endured horrible disappointments suffering and death. But when a bad thing happens and we cry out to him for help, for strength, or to lift us up, God uses those moments and those prayers, to change us and

make us stronger in him. If God is for us, who could possibly be against us? So, the next time something bad happens, thank God that he will use it to make you more like Jesus. Prayer: “Lord, it’s hard to believe that you work in all things for good. Will you please remind me of this in tough times? Thank-you for Jesus. Thank-you for your amazing grace, Amen.” By THE REVEREND BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE, ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF BATHURST

Janelle is the new cotton head for industry group FOLLOWING an extensive recruitment process, Dr Janelle Montgomery has been named as the new Program Lead for the Australian cotton industry’s extension program, CottonInfo. An industry leader in her own right, Janelle is a familiar and trusted face, having been part of the CottonInfo team since its establishment in 2012; ﬁ rst as a Technical Lead for water use efficiency, then taking on the Regional Extension Officer (REO) role in the Gwydir Valley in 2017. Based in Moree, Janelle has managed the REO team for the past five years, and said she feels incredibly excited by the opportunity to take on the Program Lead position. “I’ve built a career on research and development and making sure that growers come on the journey too, by helping them to improve onfarm efficiencies and practices,” Janelle said. “It’s been such a privilege to be able to do this over my years with CottonInfo pro-

moting best practice on the ground. Now being able to further promote this by helping to set the strategic direction of CottonInfo is something I’m very much looking forward to,” she added.

CottonInfo is a joint partnership between the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC), Cotton Seed Distributors and Cotton Australia. The Program Lead role is funded by CRDC.

CRDC Acting Executive Director, Allan Williams, said Janelle’s appointment reﬂects her incredible mix of research, development and extension experience and genuine passion for the Australian cotton industry. “The CottonInfo program is something that other cotton growing areas of the world look at with interest and envy, and Janelle has played a significant role in building the program’s strong reputation,” Allan said. “Throughout her decade-plus association with CottonInfo, she’s worked tirelessly to not just support growers and consultants, but also the three industry partners who jointly facilitate the program,” he said. “To have someone as respected and passionate as Janelle leading CottonInfo into its 12th year is a massive advantage for the cotton industry, and on behalf of CRDC and the CottonInfo Management Committee, I welcome her to the new role.”

Congratulations on 100 issues! I’D like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the Narromine Star as it celebrates its 100th edition this week and two years in business! Over the course of these 100 editions, the Narromine Star has become more than just a newspaper; it has evolved into a reliable resource that has kept us connected with local news, events, and stories. The Narromine Star has played a crucial role in bringing our community together, highlighting the achievements of our residents, and shedding light on the issues that matter most to us. In an era of rapidly changing media landscapes, the newspaper’s consistent presence and commitment to journalistic integrity are commendable and greatly appreciated.

Well done to all the team behind this fantastic paper and here’s to the next 100! Dugald Saunders MP Member for the Dubbo Electorate THE prospect of losing our former local newspaper was always something that concerned me and I was delighted to be the contact for both Lucie Peart and Tim Pankhurst to bring the new Narromine Star into existence. I am absolutely thrilled they have taken up the offer and particularly having Sharon Bonthuys back on board I see a long and positive future ahead. To have our own newspaper is an essential part of our communities and the manner in which this is carried out is so amenable to all activities

across the shire.

I thank the owners Lucie and Tim and congratulate them on having the tenacity and patience to stay around and give this wonderful conduit into our community the opportunity to thrive and prosper.

Having Sharon as our very own representative bringing an unbiased and creative approach to the delivery of news across the shire is both inspiring and confidence building knowing the news is always transparent and incisive.

Let’s hope this is just the very start of a long association. Cr Craig Davies Mayor, Narromine Shire

CONGRATULATIONS to Narromine Year 12 students who celebrated their formal last week. Despite a thunderstorm and prolonged, persistent rain on the afternoon of November 9, the group managed to get some photos down by the river late in the day before gathering with family and friends

at Soul Food Depot for their formal. This year’s cohort looked absolutely stunning and we hope they had an amazing evening. Congratulations to all our Year 12s across the shire who have completed their education this year. The big wide world awaits.

St Augustine’s kindy kids ask “What am I?” By LOUISE BROWN A PUPPY or a kitten would be what most people think of when they hear the word “pet”. This is not the case at the moment, for the kindergarten class at St Augustine’s Parish School, because this term they have been studying the fascinating subject of “Minibeasts”. To be able to study an insect up close like a scientist, the kindergarten kids have adopted a class pet — “Spiny”. This is spelt correctly, as Spiny is a spiny leaf insect, which the students have become very attached to. They make sure he is cool, has clean water and they go out and ﬁnd food for him. As well as Spiny, kindergarten have been investigating all sorts of insects, spiders and creepy-crawlies we ﬁ nd in the garden. In Writing, they created “What am I?” riddles to share with their classmates.

Narromine Public School’s Champion Debating Team: students Lydia Gordon, Archie Craft, Ally Gill, and Luis Robertson, with team advisors Lynne McCutcheon and Edward Smith. Narromine Public School’s debating team having a debate over Zoom.

NARROMINE Public School’s debating team has produced some amazing arguments through the past two terms, making it all the way to the grand fi nal of the Kerri Parkes Western Challenge Debating competition. The students have competed in a series of debates, both in person and via Zoom, against schools from across the central western region, and have been successful in making it through to the final round. The team debated against Orange East Public School in the semi-fi nal, arguing against NAPLAN being banned and were successful in putting forward a very compelling argument for the win. Debating coordinator, Edward Smith, said the students have gained valuable debating skills throughout the competition and have enjoyed the whole experience. “We wish them all the best in the grand fi nal, and are so proud of how much they have learned and improved as debaters,” he said.

By CLARE MACDONALD GILL EIGHT Narromine Public School students will be dancing their hearts out after being selected to participate in the 2023 School Spectacular in Sydney. The students have been

training hard, including attending several regional workshops in the lead up to their big performances on Friday and Saturday, November 24–25. These students will be supported by a group of 16 additional dancers from Narromine Public School, who

will participate in a ﬂash mob dance at the street festival SpecFest outside of Qudos Bank Arena. These students will then attend the School Spectacular performance. NPS Dance Coordinator, Belinda Edmunds, said this is such an amazing oppor-

tunity for the students to be a part of a major professional production. “It is wonderful our students have been selected and have this chance to shine as dancers,” Ms Edmunds said. “To work with professional choreographers in a huge

production, it is an experience they will never forget,” she added.

The performance will be telecast, or for those wishing to attend, tickets for the four performances are available.

Winning rider Caitlin Tootell is the daughter of veteran jockey David Tootell, who rode Vo Rogue when the late Vic Rail first took his champion stayer from Queensland to Victoria. In those days David Tootell was a much in demand jockey and when he later had commitments to ride another champion horse, Cyril Small became the regular jockey for Vo Rogue, the winner of multiple major races. The most recent ride for David Tootell was, when aged 61, he suffered serious injuries in a race fall at Port Augusta in South Australia in May 2023.

By NORM LEWIS LAST Saturday, an excellent field of 23 players faced the starter in the weekly Gerries Golf Competition. This was the best field of the weekly summer season so far. In the Ladies Division, a total of 10 players participated, with Dale Harding returning to the winners’ circle with a score of 23 points. There was then a tie between Ann Harmer and Vicki Gainsford for second place on 21 points, with the count back favouring Harmer who took the chocolates. No winner again in the Ladies Nearest-thePin, so the prize now jackpots. A disappointing round also for Carol McCalman meant she took the NAGA prize for the week. The score of 23 points was the order of the day for the lads as well, with this score recorded by Ross Smith in the Men’s Division taking fi rst place. Chris Peter was second on 22, off a Handicap of five, while Jamie Roberts took the Men’s Nearest-the-Pin trophy. There was a battle for supremacy in the NAGA prize between Chris Harding and Vince Ferrari, both tied on 14 points. Pom won the prize on a count back, however no doubt a battle at home with Dale a winner and Pom a NAGA! This week saw a return to the pool table where Chris Harding and Terry Willis met Chris Peter and Des Weir. It was a close match, showing the boys had not lost form during the break. Harding and Willis took an exciting match when Pom sank the black to claim the title of Pool Champs for the week. In all, a good morning’s entertainment. Next Saturday, the girls are on the back nine and the blokes on the front. See you all, at the 19th!

LAST weekend’s competition golf was played at the Narromine course with only small ﬁelds on-hand for the scheduled events. On Saturday, the match was an 18-Hole V Par (versus par) comp with the convincing winner, Steve Barlow with a score off Plus 6. Runner-up was Tony Harding on -2 though there were no winners of the Nearest-thePin (NTP) events, with Tony completing a double winning the Long Drive on the Eight. The Stableford Jackpot hole was on 18 and not won. The Sunday game was an 18-Hole FourBall Aggregate event with the winners Henry Buttsworth and Blake Richardson with a score of 74. Runner-ups were Tony Mann and Rob Williams on 67. The NTP on the 10th was not won, but Peter Hutchinson took the prize on the 17th hole. Henry Buttsworth won the Long Drive on the 11th, and the Sunday Birdie Jackpot was not won.
