Please Speak Out: DV/FV awareness during Ochre Ribbon Week By SHARON BONTHUYS EVERYONE can speak out about the scourge of domestic and family violence (DV, FV) but only government has the power to regulate to make change. This was the message delivered at a lunch in Narromine earlier this month in support of Ochre Ribbon Week, held annually each February to raise awareness of the impacts of domestic and family violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Although DV and FV occurs in all cultures and across all socio-economic groups and genders, it is a well-documented fact that these forms of violence are higher in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Keynote speaker Ashlee Donohue, author, consultant, victim-survivor advocate and CEO of Mudgin-Gal Aboriginal Women’s Centre in Sydney, said everyone has the capacity to make their communities and homes safe. “We aren’t doing that enough but we have that power,” she

told those attending the lunch. “The government is never going to save us.” A proud Aboriginal woman from the Dunghutti nation who was born and raised in Kempsey, Ms Donohue shared part of her own harrowing personal experience with DV, which she has written about. Her book “Because I Love Him” will be published by Magabala Books in the near future. Ms Donohue recounted the horrific personal experience featured in her book of being severely beaten by a former partner while multiple bystanders stood by and did nothing to help during or after the attack. “Not one person thought to ring the police or ambulance. “We need to get out to community that [DV and FV] is everybody’s business and keep the conversations going until people start addressing it.” Ms Donohue said governments wrote the laws, the policies and determined the enforcements, some of which could not be used in DV and FV situations. She cited the king-hit law in NSW as an example. “It can’t be used in DV cases. The victim has to be a stranger and the perpetrator under the influence of alcohol,” she said. Continued page 3

IT’S Tomingley’s turn next to experience temporary outages and a reduction in mobile service early next month as Telstra upgrades its mobile base station to bring better 4G services to the community. This work will also prepare the network for 5G coverage to be provided once the 3G network closes as planned in June 2024. The upgrade work will take place between Friday, March 8 and Friday, March 15. Telstra has said customers may receive overlapping coverage from other nearby mobile base stations but the works will require a series of temporary outages or reduction in mobile coverage. Disruptions of up to eight hours per day will be experienced between 8am and 4pm from March 8 to March 10 while the fi rst phase of work takes place. The 3G network should remain available during this period. The second phase of disruptions will be experienced from 8am on March 11 to 6pm on March 12. The site is expected to be off the air for
this entire period. Disruptions of up to four hours per day may be experienced between March 13 and March 15 whilst call testing and commissioning works are undertaken. If all goes according to plan and weather permitting the mobile upgrade will be completed on March 15. Telstra mobile customers will receive text messages advising of the upcoming work. Landline services, NBN internet services and mobile coverage from other providers will not be impacted. Any calls to Triple Zero from a Telstra phone when the site is off air will automatically be diverted to any working mobile network for connection to emergency services. For mobile coverage in the interim, if residents have access to a Wi-Fi signal at home or at work, Telstra encourages residents to activate Wi-Fi calling. This is a free setting on most popular mobile phones and allows your mobile to use a Wi-Fi network to make and receive mobile calls.
To fi nd out more, google Telstra WiFi calling or just search in your settings icon on your phone. Many businesses use the Telstra network for their EFTPOS terminals but it is important to know that financial institutions, not Telstra, operate the EFTPOS network. Many EFTPOS terminals can also be connected using the fi xed line or Wi-Fi/nbn internet connections. Retailers should contact their bank for more information and details on how to switch between these methods to ensure continuous service. The roll out of 5G connectivity for the fi rst time in Tomingley means customers with Telstra 5G mobile devices will be able to enjoy a better mobile experience. The upgrade also brings added benefits for customers on the Telstra 4G network with more capacity, providing better network connectivity and less congestion in peak times. Telstra will also carry out upgrades in the Peak Hill area during March.
Have your say in the next Regional Telecommunications Review THE federal government has announced the next Regional Telecommunications Review will be led by the Hon. Alannah MacTiernan, and public consultation will commence in April. The Review is undertaken every three years and is an opportunity for Australians living and working in rural, regional and remote communities to share their views and experiences using telecommunications services. The Review will also work with industry to consider regulatory settings and map solutions to improve regional communications. Ms MacTiernan is the former Western Australian Minister for Regional Development, Agriculture and Food, and will be supported by the 2024 Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee (RTIRC) comprising Kristy Sparrow, the Hon. Fiona Nash, Dr Jessa Rogers and Ian Kelly. Minister for Communications, the Hon Michelle Rowland MP said: “All Australians deserve access to qualiPossible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm.

Other considerations will include the unique needs of First Nations’ communities, the effectiveness of existing Government investment programs, the potential of emerging technologies, the Universal Services Obligations, and the suitability of telecommunications during emergency situations. The RTIRC website states the committee will soon announce its public consultation schedule, providing an opportunity for people living

She is highly qualified as a former Regional Development Minister in Western Australia and is a passionate advocate for rural, regional and remote communities,” Minister Rowland said. “The Independent Review Committee also has the right experience and expertise to deliver a comprehensive assessment of the state of regional telecommunications in Australia. “I look forward to receiving the Committee’s fi nal report at the end of this year, and I strongly encourage communities to have their say to ensure we get the best communications outcomes for rural and regional Australians,” Ms Rowland said. The Committee’s fi nal report is due to the government by December 2024. For further information, visit the RTIRC website.

Please Speak Out: DV/FV awareness during Ochre Ribbon Week From page 1 At the time of the lunch, just seven weeks into the new year, nine women had died in Australia as the result of domestic or family violence. This had risen to 10 by February 21 according to Counting Dead Women Australia researchers of Destroy The Joint organisation. Domestic Violence NSW (DVNSW) is an independent, non-government peak organisation that provides a representative and advocacy function for specialist DV and FV services. Late last year, the organisation petitioned the NSW government for a $176.35 million increase to DV and FV funding in the state budget as the $39.1 million allocation of new funding fell short of what is necessary to prevent and respond to DV and FV across the state. “It’s hard to quantify the devastating losses people are experiencing due to domestic violence,” said Delia Donovan, CEO of DVNSW. “I can estimate the $5.1 billion cost of domestic and family violence in Australia each year. But the real loss – of a community member and a family member – is impossible to quantify in words or numbers.” Ms Donohue encouraged the Narromine Star to seek statistics from district police about DV incidents in the Narromine Shire as this local government area has a significantly higher rate than the state average, she said. We did, and statistics provided by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics And Research (BOCSAR) show in the year to September 2023, the rate of incidents of domestic assault was more than twice as high in the Narromine Shire population than the rate for NSW overall. That is: 1,132.1 incidents per 100,000 in the Narromine Shire compared to 436.5 incidents per 100,000 population for the state.
The rate is considered ‘stable’ by BOCSAR, having risen steadily since 2018 with a slight decrease in 2020 during the pandemic. Some 73 incidents of domestic assault were reported in the Narromine Shire in the year to September 2023, up from 67 the previous year. In NSW, 35,329 incidents of domestic assault were reported during the same timeframe. Organised by CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes, the lunch on February 15 brought together representatives from across all sectors and the local community at the United Services Memorial Club. Attendees at the event found the subject matter difficult but also moving and empowering. “Everyone deserves to be safe,” said Lizzie, who works in social services. Attendee Jess said she was empowered listening to Ms Donohue speak. “What she’s been though and that she can speak about it now is incredible.” Attendee Jaqui said everyone needed to heed the message of speaking out and helping others. “We need to encourage people to start the change. Speak up [when you see incidents] and call the police,” Jaqui said. Another attendee, Jordan, who also works in social services, echoed these sentiments. “We are all bystanders in this. No one should be a bystander.” Ochre Ribbon Week was held between February 12-19.

Inland Growth Summit a success By SHARON BONTHUYS ABOUT 120 people headed to Dubbo last week from across the state for Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana’a latest Inland Growth Summit. An annual event, this year’s summit on February 21-22 highlighted projects and initiatives driving economic growth, industry collaboration, research, innovation, and public and private investment. The two-day event at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo (TWPZ) included keynote presentations and panel discussions on the areas of circular economics and sustainability; the changing landscape of training and education; supporting regional people, community and business as well as digital connectivity in regional and remote NSW; rural and remote health; and current and emerging trends in tourism and hospitality. Member for the Parkes Electorate, Mark Coulton MP, whose federal electorate spans geographically almost half of NSW, addressed the summit and spoke about the challenges of living and doing business in regional NSW. “The challenge we have is we have an area that’s actually bristling with opportunity, but how do you reach that full potential?” Mr Coulton said. “One of the challenges is not only supplying the technology we need to live in regional Australia [but] it’s actually educating the people to know what’s there and how to use it. They’re suffering out there because they can’t communicate. “It’s a challenge to make sure we can reach that potential.” Mr Coulton also mentioned
the benefits the Inland Rail project would bring to regional Australia, connecting “the Orana Region for the fi rst time with every capital city in Australia,” and his frustrations with current federal government policy in this area. Keynote speakers at the event included Ste- About 120 people attended the summit. ve Guy from MAAS PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

Lions show turntable project to Mark Coulton MP
Letters to the Editor Narwonah survey results explained DEAR Editor, Firstly, I would like to thank those who stepped forward in confidence to vote, one way or the other, in the Shire Survey which ran over eight weeks. It is a proud moment for the Narromine local government area when a citizen-led democratic process works so successfully, the results of which have now been forwarded to state and federal politicians. An update on the verifiable fi nal figures are: f 469 hard copy surveys, collected and collated in chronological order. f 662 online surveys through Survey Monkey. This equals 1,131 surveys completed by adults representing their families, equating to 4,040 people out of a shire population of 6,500. All but 31 surveys came from Narromine, Dubbo, Tomingley, Trangie and within 100 kilometres of the surrounding district. Of the 31 surveys from outside the 100-kilometre radius, their comments indicate they own property, visit regularly, or have family living in the district. Most concerning are the comments indicating adults who have planned to bring family back, and several who are looking at moving to Narromine district, purchasing homes, properties, investments and businesses, have now put their plans on hold until they see what happens with this proposal. This is how the questions on the survey form were answered: Issue 1: The “Narwonah” Waste Incinerator project is the unanimous decision of Council to bring 1.2million tonnes of waste per year from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hunter and Central West to be processed by Anaerobic Digestion and a Waste Gasification Incinerator with the remaining Ash left on site. f a. For this development,
Support petition to stop waste to energy incinerators in NSW DEAR Editor, I write about the Narwonah gasification incinerator proposal. Due to similar waste-to-energy projects worldwide experiencing widespread air, soil and water contamination from cancer related materials, Dr Roslyn Irwin will present to the NSW Legislative Assembly an online e-petition called “Stop Waste to Energy Incinerators in NSW”. French authorities warned millions of residents not to eat eggs produced in backyard pens ‘due to widespread contamination of soil in Paris by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as dioxins, furans, polychlorinated biphenyls and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS or for-
please indicate if you are FOR IT, NEUTRAL or AGAINST IT. f b. AGAINST: 1,087 surveys representing 3,851 people These results are reflected as follows: f FOR: 22 surveys representing total 80 people f NEUTRAL: 18 surveys representing total 100 f NO RESPONSE: 4 surveys representing total 14 people Issue 2: Narromine Shire Governance: Continued issues of concern with our Shire Council activities and performance, lead to these questions: a. Would you be willing to share information that you have with authorities (confidentially) if they came to Narromine and Trangie to conduct interviews? YES! 680 adults representing their families have indicated THEY WOULD be willing. b. Should the Office of Local Government (OLG) and Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) conduct interviews in person, in the Shire, with Narromine Shire residents? YES! 1,117 adults representing their families have AGREED that OLG and ICAC SHOULD conduct interviews in person in the Shire, with Narromine Shire residents.
Mark Coulton (second from left) with members of the Narromine Lions Club at the turntable site. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. By SHARON BONTHUYS MEMBER for the Parkes Electorate, Mark Coulton MP, caught up with members of the Narromine Lions Club last week to check out the completed restoration of the historic turntable precinct opposite Tom Perry Park. He stopped by after speaking at the RDA Orana Inland Summit in Dubbo on February 21. The club received a $2,500 grant from the last round of the former Coalition government’s Stronger Communities Programme to go towards the turntable project, which involved the restoration of the “S” type rail truck mounted on the turntable, repainting of the turntable, signage and landscaping. Well done to the Narromine Lions Club for helping preserve local railway history for future generations.
c. Should an Administrator be appointed immediately to Narromine Shire? YES! 937 adults representing their families have AGREED that an Administrator be appointed immediately to Narromine Shire. Thank you also for the positive comments included in the Shire Survey which show initiative and resourcefulness and to the 1,131 people who completed surveys, huge respect. Joshua 1:9!

ever chemicals)”. “ToxicoWatch Foundation in 2022 found very high levels of dioxins in domestic backyard chicken coops near the largest waste incinerator in Europe, located in Paris. This expanded to the whole region in May 2023, results being confi rmed leading the authority to confi rm its warning (not to eat eggs)” [Source: 21/11/2023 EuroNews]. Soil contamination affects fruit, grains, vegies, meat producing animals, water and more! That would be extremely sad and devastating to bring to our beautiful community and future of our kids and grandkids.

Moree Plains Shire Deputy Mayor Susannah Pearse, Mayor Mark Johnson, Premier Chris Minns and Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall. By SHARON BONTHUYS PREMIER Chris Minns paid a visit to Moree in the state’s north last week to discuss regional crime, but is still resisting calls for an inquiry at this time. During his visit to Moree on February 22, the Premier met with local civic leaders, police, business owners, victims of crime, a youth group, local school students and the team at Moree Police Citizens Youth Club. The Member for Northern Tablelands electorate Adam Marshall MP used the visit to highlight the need for immediate action to address a fast-rising tide of youth crime in the region. “I was pleased to be able to welcome him to our part of the world amid rising pressure from community leaders and residents wanting urgent action to tackle the growing trend of violent, anti-social behaviour,” Mr Marshall said. “We discussed a range of matters specific to Moree and those common to almost every community in our region, specifically, the need for adequate policing numbers, the weak decisions of the local courts letting down the community and police and the need to better co-ordinate the efforts of various organisations already funded in the community to work with youth and divert them from anti-social and criminal behaviour.” Mr Marshall said the Premier was receptive to the matters raised and he urged the state leader to make changes to the local court system. “The Premier heard directly from the local police that 63 per cent of crime locally is currently committed by people released into the community by the court on bail.
“This is completely unacceptable and has to stop. We need a circuit breaker, the community needs a rest from these offences and people deserve to feel safe again,” Mr Marshall said. The Premier told 7News Central West during his visit: “More often than not there has been a Sydney-led response to problems in regional NSW which takes place in Macquarie Street and without listening to people on the ground. “I’m determined not to put the cart before the horse.” What that actually means is yet to be seen as the Premier and Police Minister Yasmin Catley continue to resist pressure to announce an inquiry into regional crime. Shadow Minister for Police Paul Toole said Ms Catley conceded during Budget Estimates on February 23 she did not speak to the Premier ahead of his regional visit a day earlier. This demonstrates a “disconnect” between the Premier and his Minister, Mr Toole said. “It is incredibly concerning that the Police Minister can’t remember the last time she sat down for a meeting with the Premier, or that he didn’t feel it necessary to take her with him to Moree,” Mr Toole said. Mr Toole said recent data has revealed law and order is one of the top five emerging issues for NSW and up to 90 per cent of crimes are happening in regional communities. Multiple agencies and communities have supported the call for an inquiry into regional crime, including the NSW Country Mayors’ Association, NSW Police Association, NSW Farmers’ Association, Country Women’s Association and 84 local government councils.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Big week back on the road
I WAS happy to be back out on the road last week after a few weeks in Canberra. My favourite part of the job is getting out and meeting the people of my electorate, and last week provided a great opportunity do just that. In Dubbo, I was pleased to join some of the Orana region’s “movers and shakers” for the 2024 Inland Growth Summit, organised by Regional Development Australia — Orana. I also gave an address highlighting the enormous potential of the region and our ability to rise to any challenges to achieve that bright future. I also had the opportunity to speak at the University of Melbourne’s “Return to Country Oration” in Bourke. This was a wonderful evening promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) pathways for students in our rural areas. I believe education is the key to giving young people choices in life, so it’s great to see our local children being inspired to take up the opportunities offered by STEM. During the week, I had pro-

ductive meetings with the mayors and general managers of Narromine, Bourke, Brewarrina and Walgett shire councils, as well as a number of constituents in Dubbo. But, perhaps the highlight of my week was attending the Sing Out Choir for people living with dementia in Dubbo. The choir — the first of its kind west of the Blue Mountains — is a wonderful initiative by Lourdes Hospital Dementia Counsellor, Anne Gemmell, providing so many positive benefits to local dementia sufferers. Just being there and seeing the enjoyment everyone gets from this choir was uplifting.
Narromine Lions Club funding IT was lovely to meet with members of the Narromine Lions Club last week to checkout their completed restoration of the historic turntable precinct at Tom Perry Park. The club received a $2500 grant from the last round of the former Coalition Government’s Stronger Communities Programme to go towards this project, which involved the restoration of the “S-type” rail truck mounted on the turntable, repainting the turntable, signage and landscaping. It looks fantastic and will be a great tourist attraction for the town, connecting with the rail trail that ends at Nyngan Rail Museum.
Funding opportunity for childcare providers State Cup saw over 9,000 visitors descend on Dubbo for a jam-packed weekend of sun, fun, and of course, touch football. Nearly every team from Dubbo Touch Association made it through to the fi nals on Sunday, and the under 14 boys made it through to the semis! The Dubbo teams left it all on the line and played superbly time and time again showing just what a powerhouse club they are. A huge congratulations to the players, coaches, parents, and volunteers who put countless hours into making the weekend such a success.
Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton meeting with Narromine Lions Club members to check out the completed restoration of the historic turntable precinct in Tom Perry Park. CHILDCARE providers in the Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobar, Coonamble, Far West, Lightning Ridge, Moree and Walgett areas have the opportunity to apply for funding to undertake capital works or improve their viability and financial sustainability. A total of $84 million is available under the Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) Open Competitive Round Four to help support early childhood education and care services address barriers to participation. This round is only open to services in identified priority areas, including those mentioned above in the Parkes electorate.
The ability to host events like these are incredible for the region, but simply couldn’t happen without the commitment of those who love and tirelessly support the game!
Regional crime REGIONAL crime is on the rise and regional people are voicing their concerns, but the Minns Labor Government won’t back an inquiry into the issue.

Interestingly, The Premier took a convenient last-minute trip to Moree on Wednesday after he was also grilled by the Opposition in Budget Estimates. What’s worse is the Minister for Regional NSW didn’t consider regional crime as one of her top three issues facing the bush. It’s about time Labor starts to take this seriously because families don’t feel safe.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, February 29, 2024
MAYOR’S AYOR’S ESSAGE MESSAGE Comment mment by CR CRAIG DAVIES,, Narromine rromine re mayorr Shire
WHAT an interesting past month I’ve had as Mayor of this wonderful shire. Going back a month when things started moving again in the new year, I had the opportunity to speak to the Productivity Commissioner regarding the Review of Funding models for Local Water Utilities. While this sounds as interesting as a trip to the dentist, it is vital the Government understands the unique nature of all shires when it comes to their water and sewerage utilities. Narromine is as different from Dubbo as we are from Brewarrina and the notion that we should all be treated the same simply doesn’t work. Fortunately, the Commissioner has agreed to meet all
members of the Alliance of Western Councils in Dubbo mid-March. With Australia Day on January 26, it was a fantastic opportunity to acknowledge the wonderful work done by some very special people in our communities. With Beryl Hartley in Narromine and Sue-Ann Fulwood in Trangie taking out the Citizen of the year awards in our two towns it was a fitting occasion to focus on the amazing contributions these two ladies have made and the very positive manner in which they go about their good work. Our congratulations go out to both these ladies and indeed all the other award winners and nominees. Early February was a chance to meet the new CEO of Inland Rail and be brought up to date with the development of this massive infrastructure project. Nick Miller, the new CEO, and his 2IC, Rob Storey, made themselves available for around two hours. As this was Nick’s fi rst trip to Narromine it gave him the opportunity to understand the
complexity and magnitude of the work to be done locally to get trains over Webb Siding Road, the existing Dubbo rail line, the Mitchell Highway and fi nally the river on one massive rail-over-road project that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Already Martinus have recommenced work on the Materials Distribution Centre just south of town in readiness for the 300,000 concrete sleepers that will start being delivered in August. The main line work is now expected to start in 2027 and will allow the Narromine-Narrabri section of Inland Rail to go ahead. MidFebruary, I was summoned to the Parliamentary Hearing into Ownership of Water Utilities in Rural and Regional areas. As the Chairman of the Alliance of Western Councils and along with the Narromine Manager of Utilities, Doug Moorby, we were given about forty minutes before seven NSW Members of Parliament to convince them of the importance of all shires being master of their own destinies when it comes to owning these facilities.
Both Sydney and Hunter water boards have had it put into the NSW constitution that they remain in public ownership, and why should we in the bush be treated differently? We also put forward a number of initiatives that would enhance current operations and provide opportunities for more water trained staff on better money that is more appropriate to their skills. In my role as President of the Murray-Darling Basin Association (MDBA), I am regularly asked to represent the organisation in our crusade to ensure better water outcomes from across this vast basin for the many communities that rely on our inland river system. The current government has recently had legislation passed that will see a further 450,000 megalitres of water returned to the environment. This process will severely impact those communities from which the water is taken and with 39,000 megalitres already over-recovered from the Macquarie River, we need to work hard to ensure no further water is taken from the productive areas of the Mac-
quarie Valley.
We also need to focus on Critical Human Needs water given the 31 communities that faced no water at the end of 2019. This has led to meetings with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), and this week I will meet with Minister Plibersek in Canberra to plead our case.
There are many initiatives that could enhance the whole Macquarie Valley if we work together and Government collaborate. Further meetings with the MDBA are scheduled and this challenge to hold on to our existing water and indeed see the over-recovered water brought back will be a focus for the coming months.
The engagement with all these different bodies takes significant time and effort but is all about maintaining the wonderful lifestyle and opportunities we enjoy in our shire, and provides a positive and progressive way forward. It truly is a privilege to be representing the shire in these important issues.
Loss that stays with you: grief WA economist support group for local district wins GRDC Seed of Light award

AUSTRALIAN Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC) Chief Economist Ross Kingwell is the deserving winner of the prestigious 2024 Seed of Light award. The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) presents Seed of Light honours each year to industry leaders who make exceptional contributions to research and development in Australia’s grains industry. A leading agricultural economist with more than 45 years’ experience, Professor Kingwell began his career with the WA Department of Agriculture in 1978 and joined AEGIC at its launch
in 2012. He is also a Professor with the University of Western Australia. Professor Kingwell received the award on February 26 in Perth. The GRDC is a corporate Commonwealth entity responsible for planning, investing in and overseeing research, development and extension for 25 leviable grain crops in Australia. Its primary objective is to drive the discovery, development and delivery of world-class innovation to enhance the productivity, profitability and sustainability of Australian grain growers and benefit the industry and the wider community.
IT’S a grief that stays with parents forever. Planning is underway for a support group for the families and friends of those that have experienced child loss who live in Warren, Trangie, Nyngan, and the surrounding communities. To be held in Warren, the sessions aim to provide a safe space, support, and the opportunity to connect people with others who may have had similar experiences. The joint initiative is being organised by Warren Multipurpose Service (MPS) Child and Family Health Nurse, Nicole Callan, and Aboriginal Health Worker, Mary Small, in conjunction with the National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG). “We are very excited to be partnering with NALAG to offer this critical service to those impacted by the devastating loss of a child or baby,” Nicole said. “The sessions will be available for parents, family, friends, anyone who has been impacted by loss from not only Warren, but the surrounding communities of Nyngan and Trangie as well,” she added.
The fi rst step is tapping the demand for the service, she explained. “What we are trying to establish at this stage is interest in the program. “How many would be keen to come along, and then we can establish a time and place for the sessions and get the group up and running,” Nichole said. Mary believes that these are the type of mental health options that are often more available in metropolitan areas. “Living in rural and remote communities can mean access to services are a lot harder than for those living in bigger communities, and support in times of loss is incredibly important,” Mary said. “So we saw the need for something like that in this area and are very pleased we can help get this critical service to town,” she added. Those interested in the sessions are encouraged to get in touch with Mary or Nicole at Warren MPS. “Once we have an understanding on the level of interest, we hope to have the sessions up and running in the next few months,” Nicole concluded.

Women’s Shed delivers special gifts
By SHARON BONTHUYS
A FEW weeks ago we brought you the story of the Narromine Women’s Shed, whose members have been making items for premature babies born at the Dubbo Base Hospital. In the past two weeks the ladies have delivered their special gifts, knitted and crocheted with love, to the hospital’s maternity ward. Spokesperson Leona Lodding told the Narromine Star the hospital staff gratefully accepted the donations, and have asked the Women’s Shed to make some other items needed for the maternity ward as well. One of the new items the ladies will tackle is a flannelette “seatbelt” to help secure premature babies in humidicribs. The idea of the seatbelt is to stop the tiny patients from removing cords and monitoring devices through their movements in the cribs. The ladies will also make a number of slightly larger bonnets for the maternity ward, Leona said. Despite being physically out of action at the moment, Narromine Women’s Shed member Faye Morton from Gilgandra knitted 27 bonnets for the premature babies. These items were part of the delivery to the hospital last week, Leona said. If you would like to support the Narromine Women’s Shed in their work benefiting premature babies in the region, they would greatly appreciate donations of flannelette material or wool to make the items. Pop down and see Leona and the ladies in their craft room at 138 Dandaloo Street. Leona Lodding with one of the flannelette “seatbelts” for premmie babies.

How is the church here? By NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH
By VICKI GAINSFORD OUR first meeting for 2024 was enthusiastic in attendance and in discussion of the business of fundraising for this year. It was also wonderful to welcome two new members! Our fi rst fundraising event is the trivia night in late March at the bowling club, where we’re hoping for a good crowd because there is much to raise funds for! Over $5,000 has been raised by the Western Rural Connect Harvest Ball Committee and donated to us in the hope of fi nancing an ultrasound machine. This would come at great expense so we’re hoping to connect with other charities in Narromine to try and achieve this. The auxiliary has also been raising funds for a new morgue

The hospital budget is always stretched, and a very generous and large donation from Alkane Resources’ Gold Mine at Tomingley has helped secure the purchase of a new cooling cabinet for the morgue as well, with additional funding provided by the Western NSW Local Health District. On staffing, Sanu Joy has informed us that an Allied Health assistant has commenced five days a week and thered is a vacancy for an Aboriginal Health worker to be filled.

We are so privileged to continue to have Doctors Andy and Marina combining to ensure we have a doctor on duty at the hospital seven days a week. The air-conditioning upgrades at the hospital have been delayed due to issues beyond the hospital’s control, but are hoped to be completed by the end of March. Our next meeting is in late March and coincides with our next Meals on Wheels roster. And In April, Narromine Hospital Auxiliary is looking forward to hosting the United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW Regional Conference.

in society. Why not fi nd out how a church, beginning with 12 ordinary men who then turned the ancient world upside down; has managed to survive, still effectively with the same worldview today. Find a service this weekend, listen to the message, join the folk for a cuppa, and then ask, “How can I know God?” By PHILIP HAND

Amanda with Narromine’s Rotarians.
NARROMINE’S Amanda Wicks recently returned from the trip of a lifetime, completing a year in Brazil as a Rotary exchange student. Amanda delivered a presentation about her exciting exchange to the Narromine Rotary Club on February 20. The club had supported Amanda’s application to the competitive Rotary Youth Exchange program, which sends high school students abroad to study and live for a year with host families from the Rotary Club network. Amanda was one of 15 students to spend 2023 overseas as part of the highly regarded Rotary program. By all reports, Amanda had an absolute blast during her year away. Her smile could certainly power half of NSW! If any other students are keen to explore the world of Rotary Youth Exchange, contact the Narromine Rotary Club for further information.
Garden club is back By ANNIE HARMER, NARROMINE GARDEN CLUB HELLO, Garden Club Members, and welcome to 2024! It’s a new year with many new gardens to view! The club’s AGM and general meeting was held at the Narromine Anglican Church hall recently with a great roll up of members 28 in all, who bought a wonderful array of food to share for lunch. We’re pleased to announce our new committee. President this
DELI-CIOUS GEMS By NORMA REID
Let’s break the Covid cycle THE marketing strategy for supermarkets and fast-food chains makes you think you’re getting a good buy when you’re actually paying more. Marketing teams are paid good money to attract you to spend money with them, and
year is a shared position with Jodi Browning and Gayle Muldoon sharing the role. Our vice-presidents are Amanda Adams and Heather Young, and our secretary is Ginny Mathers who also takes on public officer duties. Donna Payne is treasurer and yours truly is the Garden Club publicity officer. We’re looking forward to another great year with beautiful gardens to visit and things to grow, and hope you are too. use various tactics to get your attention. For every dollar you think you save, they will get you somewhere else and have another way of redeeming costs. So, if it looks too good to be true, it generally is. Further, their advertising budgets are huge. One popular fast-food chain uses flashy billboards along our highways telling travellers how far to their next restaurant and “remind” you every few kilometres. This concept is called the “whinging child syndrome” and weary travellers will often head to the advertised restaurant. Many other worthwhile eating places get dismissed or bypassed. When travelling, watch

for those billboards and how you react when you hit town. Fight against it and support a smaller establishment that will be grateful for your custom. Their products will also likely be better value and tasting than any fast-food chain. Whenever my family travels, we try to get a pub meal which are generally much tastier and cheaper, have more pleasant dining areas, cleaner toilets and the company is more engaging. We learn much about the towns we drive through as we chat to those serving us. The personal touch is better than talking into a machine then driving to a window. If we can’t make it to a pub, we check out owner-operated cafes and takeaway places.
Use the parks and gardens in small towns or the town’s pool when visiting, and take a meal there. You never know who you might meet. Make your trip an adventure! It makes me wonder: just how did we get so disconnected from personal interactions and start accepting substandard food and service in our very aff luent and food-rich country? We need to break the “Covid cycle” and get out there and get our communities buzzing again. If we don’t, we will be left with poor service and food costing us far more than it should. We will have only ourselves to blame if we don’t continue to support those brave souls who run their
own businesses.
Drop into your local small businesses and help keep a town alive. Every dollar you spend keeps someone’s dream alive, employed, and a door open. So don’t walk past, or they won’t last.

First council meeting for 2024
View from the public gallery which included about 15 people. By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire Council met for the fi rst time in 2024 on February 14. A small gallery of about 15 members of the public witnessed the meeting which went for 100 minutes, driven by discussion across a broad range of agenda items, some of which had been discussed by the community on social media ahead of the meeting. The main items of discussion will be summarised here. A recording of the full council meeting is available on the organisation’s website should you wish to hear it.
GM delegation: No change ITEM Three in the Reports to Council - General Manager (GM) sought to amend the delegation to the GM to determine development applications (DA) up to the value of $2 million, applications for small modifications to a previously approved DA, and excluding where the council is a beneficiary or the applications have ‘significant public interest’. This item had been raised on social media groups with concerns expressed about what this actually means. Cr Lambert asked for the ‘status quo’ to remain with the GM’s delegations. “One of the delegations we have as councillors is that we are delegated to look after the community. And that’s been told many times in the last six to eight weeks,” Cr Lambert said. “In the report it states… ‘the policy therefore negates the requirement for development applications to be determined by Council where Council is the beneficiary.’ I think council needs to do that and not let the GM have that as a burden on her shoulders. “The recommendation that stood out for me was the definition of ‘significant public interest [as] more than 10 objections by way of individual submissions from different households’, but a petition can be classed as one. “I think if a petition has a thousand [names] on it, I think we should note it has a thousand people on it,” Cr Lambert said. Community and Economic Development Director Phil Johnston said the reasoning behind the proposal was council may consider some straightforward developments like houses, farming sheds or modifications worth more
than $2 million, which means DAs could be held up. “The main thrust of this was, if non-controversial, then the GM should be delegated to assess or sign off on those,” he said. As agreed by the council, the status quo will remain in relation to the delegation.
Narromine industrial precinct/freight exchange ITEM Two in the Community and Economic Development reports concerned the Narromine Industrial Precinct and Freight Exchange. Some 28 minutes of discussion ensued, resulting in a motion to defer consideration of the item until after councillors have undertaken a site inspection. The item had been discussed at length on social media as part of the proposed site for this exchange at Narwonah was the land identified in the previously considered proposal for Asia Pacific Waste Solutions (APWS) to build an anaerobic digestion and gasification plant. In August 2023 council granted an option on part of the land which developer APWS did not take up by November 19, 2023, rendering it void. “If [APWS] were to seek an option it would certainly have to come back to council again,” Mr Johnston said. The report read: “While the option agreement has not been entered into, the site still provides the opportunity for further development in line with Council’s Economic Development Strategy and Delivery Plan. “The site’s location regarding rail and proximity to the Tomingley Road and Narromine as well as its size means that it is still a desirable location for business development.” Management sought council approval to lodge a DA to subdivide a 521.8-hectare allotment adjacent to Craigie Lea Lane, and also to develop a prospectus to market for sale the western portion of land for future business development, and that any future offer to purchase the land be considered by council. Mr Johnston said the community will be consulted about a future proposal to rezone 100 hectares of the north-eastern corner of the land to enable development as part of the proposed industrial precinct. The sale of land would also be brought back to the community. He envisions the planning proposal being available for the community to see in the

Cr Adine Hoey asked to speak about the now-defunct APWS proposal. “The reason why the gallery sits here tonight is because no one is in favour of APWS, and for everyone to be quite well aware that it’s off the table. In order for them to come back to us they need to come back through [the council]. “Even if the subdivision was to happen, I still think the community has this misconception that there’s some underhanded sneakiness, that it’s being subdivided to hand [APWS] some sneaky land, but it’s not the case and it can’t happen. “As a progressive council I agree that [we] should continue to seek opportunities to develop the site for future advancement, but [make] it clear it’s for what the community desires. There’s never going to be [anything underhanded] or anything that will hinder the food on someone’s plate,” Cr Hoey said. “There is no way in this whole world would I ever vote for something that wasn’t in the best interests of the community. I don’t believe that anyone at this table has any malice in regards to having anything in the shire that would be detrimental.” Cr Jones recommended the motion be deferred until a site inspection of the whole area before any further decision be made. “I think with the current climate [around] APWS, I think it’s too soon to do anything with this land,” Cr Jones said. “Adine said [the APWS proposal] is off the table but people still aren’t certain. They’re scared, they’re worried, they’re confused. Maybe there’s a bit of misinformation there. Who knows? I just think it’s the wrong time.”
Narromine cemetery trees ITEM Two in the Infrastructure and Engineering Services report, the kurrajong trees at Narromine Cemetery, also generated significant discussion. In late 2023, after receiving 15 submissions from the public (seven in favour of retaining them, seven against and one undecided), the council engaged a consultant to provide heritage advice on the trees. The consultant confirmed the significance of the trees and recommended planting trees in several locations in the cemetery. Cr Lambert wasn’t sure if kurrajong trees were the right trees for the cemetery and said there
should be a tree replacement program. Cr Beaumont agreed and said kurrajongs were not a good tree and had caused a lot of damage to the graves. Cr Jones said kurrajongs had been replaced at Trangie cemetery with water gums, with great success. Cr Collins said the report was more of a history than heritage report, does not mention the kurrajongs and indicated positive and negative aspects of replacing the trees. The removal of the trees from the cemetery was “an opportunity to beautify the cemetery for the comfort of those who visit,” she said. Council resolved to remove the kurrajong trees from the Narromine Cemetery and replace them with a more suitable tree that requires less maintenance for the future, provides shade and a habitat for the birds. It was also resolved that the tree replacement program at the cemetery should be completed in stages, and if budget permits, should begin within 12 months. A further report is to be provided to Council outlining the costs involved.
Trangie waste management trial A PROPOSAL to reduce operating hours at the Trangie Waste Depot on weekends and trial a ‘click and collect’ kerbside waste collection service locally for three months also generated significant discussion and was ultimately supported. Council proposed to reduce the weekend opening hours of the depot to four hours on Saturdays and Sundays, freeing staff to undertake other duties onsite during their contracted hours. Only a handful of visits occur during the seven hours the facility is open on weekends, restricting the staff member to customer service duties. “The reduced opening hours will [allow staff to tidy] the site and [prepare] for the future closure of the site. The Trangie Waste Depot is scheduled for closure by 2028 with the site transitioning to a waste transfer station as identified in the Council’s Waste Management Strategy 2020-2028,” the report reads. Infrastructure and Engineering Director Melanie Slimming said when the facility eventually becomes a waste transfer station, the waste will be carted off site like happens at Tomingley. Cr Lambert said when council looked at the waste strategies some time ago, they realised it would run out of land to
hold waste at Trangie by 2028 so it became part of the strategy to eventually make the site a transfer station. “Under the Local Government Act [Councils] cannot run domestic waste services at a loss. You have to recover the monies from domestic waste,” Jane Redden said. ”What we’re trying to do is limit [making a loss] at Trangie and [therefore having to] increase the garbage charge because you can’t offset through general revenue domestic waste services. It’s the same as water and sewer.” Ms Slimming said the Trangie depot generated less than $10,000 at the gate against operating costs of $100,000. In contrast, the Narromine waste depot took $120,000 at the gate and had operating costs of $300,000. Several councillors felt it was unfair to have a ‘click and collect’ system only in Trangie, which would also come at a cost and possibly be abused. However, it was agreed to trial the system for three months, with a report back to Council in July. The depot hours will be from 8am to 12 pm on Saturdays and Sundays during the trial. Cr Collins did not support the motion.
Other things mentioned f Cr Davies indicated things “may be starting to move” on the removal of the old Trangie service station following a visit to the community by the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Hon. Jenny Aitchison MP on January 13. f The Local Traffic Committee has made several recommendations to improve parking around the post office in Nymagee Street, Narromine. These include creating some shortterm parallel parking spaces to remove a conflict point, and creation of 45-degree parking on the north and south side of Nymagee Street in this vicinity. f Cr Hoey reported that all Trangie tennis courts are now in operation for the start of the tennis competition. f Approvals for December 2023 saw 24 DAs with a total value of $5,903.245 approved. f Soil contamination tests will be undertaken at the Narromine Saleyards as the council considers the remediation and future use of the site. f The fi rst phase of development of the Inland Rail Materials Distribution Centre has been completed and the organisation will be back soon to enter the second phase.

GOLF NOTES
Busy week for Narromine golf! By NORM LEWIS THE Handsaker Ford Business House competition continues to attract big fields for the weekly event every Wednesday during the summer months as local businesses battle it out on the fairways at Narromine Golf Club. This event has proved very popular and hopefully will attract new players to the weekly club competitions. The winning team on February 21 was McPhersons’ Automotive with a calculated score of 22.5. The following are the top individual scores for the day: Steve Barlow (27), Robin Jones (24), Josfe Greentree (24), Nicole McCutcheon (24), and “Guess Who?” Robert Handsaker (23). The Nearest the Pin (NTP) winners were George Mack (on the third), Alex Sambrook (ninth), Josh Barlow (10th), and Greg O’Mally (17th). The Straight Drive on the 11th went to Marj Kelly.
Weekend golf ON Saturday, the major monthly medal stroke events were played. A disappointing field of only 10 players participated, with the winners being Kale Bock with 69 in A Grade, and Steve Barlow with 74 in B Grade. Only one NTP was won by Greg Barling while the Long Drive on the 11th went to Kale Bock. Must have bee a good holiday, “Bocky”. Sunday’s programmed event was a Par Plus which attracted a field of 14 players. Peter Treseder won with +2 while son Michael took second place on square with the card. There were no winners on the NTP on the day and Craig Duff won the Long Drive on the eighth. There were also no winners of the Jackpot events on either day over the weekend.
Coming up THE Namoi Cotton Charity Golf Day kicks off this week. Further info is on the poster at the clubhouse. This weekend also sees a Stableford, Round Two of the Shootout to be played as well as a Canadian Foursome thanks to Mitch Smith and Rob Burns. If you’re looking for a way to give back to the community, the club will host a working bee this weekend to attend to the greens and other jobs on the course. A barbecue lunch will be provided for your efforts. Finally this week, we say farewell to our popular Bar Attendant Tabatha. Many thanks for your help during your stay with us and good luck for the future. That’s all for this week, see you all at the 19th.
nal Flutter (Mathew Cahill, $8 to $3 favourite) over two lengths away third. The second leg of the Sharon Jeffries and Will Stanley double came when Crazy Wolf ($5) from midfield gained an inside run to beat stablemate Neidr Dawn (Shayleigh Ingelse, $11) by a head. While a short head away at third was the Melissa Harrison, Orange, trained Gilded Crown, ($15) which flew home out wide from last on the home turn. Alison Smith seems to have found the key to Can Do It, the
winner of just a single race in 2020 from 33 starts, before coming to her stable last year. Now part owned by Richard Lang and the trainers’ husband Nathan Smith, Can Do It (Will Stanley, $7.50 to $4.40 favourite) from seventh early, shot to the lead turning for home and cleared out to win the 1000 metres Epiroc Benchmark 50 Handicap by almost four lengths from Twin Seas (Rebecca Bronett Prag, $10) and Sauce Dragon (Shayleigh Ingelse, $5). Rosehill trainers dominat-
ed the rest of the meeting, with Annabel Neasham winning with Kryal (Ellen Hennessy, $21) and Invasive (Stefano Cherchi, $3.40 favourite) while Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou won with Super Defense ($1.70 favourite). Orange again attracted a very good crowd and now look forward to the next meeting on Monday 11th March. Racing at Tottenham Picnics on Saturday and Cowra (TAB) next Monday.

By NORM LEWIS LAST Saturday, a relatively small field of 14 players participated in the weekly Gerries’ competition. Only six ladies played the back nine of the Narromine course and winner on the day was Michelle Ashdown with an excellent score of 24 points. In second place was Anne Harmer with 23 points. A close battle with two very good scores. There was no winner in the ladies’ Nearest the Pin (NTP), however, Gail White claimed the NAGA prize with 16 points.

That’s it for another week, see you at the 19th.
