Dandaloo St level crossing upgrades in May STORY: PAGE 2 Controversial re-zoning proposal goes to next stage By SHARON BONTHUYS A MAJORITY 5:2 vote at last Wednesday’s Narromine Shire Council meeting has resulted in a controversial proposal to re-zone 100 hectares of land at Narwonah being progressed to the state government for further consideration. Prior to the meeting, which was attended by more than 50 people, four residents of the shire addressed the council in a public forum to express concern at the community not being consulted about the re-zoning proposal which was outlined in a 622-page report and made publicly available on Friday, March 8, ahead of the March 13 meeting. Of the shire’s eight current councillors, five supported the proposal to move to the next stage while two rejected it. One was not present for the vote. As a result of the 5:2 vote, council supported the planning proposal to subdivide RU1 (primary production) land at Narwonah and re-zone part of it to E5 (heavy industrial) and to submit the proposal to the Department of Planning for a Gateway Determination. The vote also supported the council as planning proposal authority being authorised to exercise functions of the local plan-making authority that the council’s General Manager or delegate be nominated to fulfi l the role.

Seniors celebrate across the shire By SHARON BONTHUYS OLDER residents across the Narromine Shire have participated in local activities held as part of the NSW Seniors Festival, which wraps up this weekend. Considered the largest badged event of its kind in the southern hemisphere, the annual NSW Seniors Festival attracts more than half a million seniors to events and activities across the state, according to the NSW government. This year’s theme has encouraged seniors to “reach beyond.” Locally, a variety of free events have been held in Narromine and Trangie for seniors during the two-week NSW Seniors Festival, which runs from March 11-24.
Seniors’ morning tea, Narromine CELEBRATIONS kicked off in Narromine on March 14 with a morning tea at the Narromine Bowling Club. About 70 seniors attended the event which afforded an opportunity to catch up and enjoy a delicious morning tea while listening to live music and picking up prizes. Narromine Shire mayor,

Cr Craig Davies, encouraged seniors to put their own spin on this year’s theme and said it was an opportunity for people to test themselves and to volunteer. “Reach beyond, particularly for people of our age, is to push yourself to do those
things that you don’t necessarily think you’re capable of. If you can do that, it will bring you far more fulfi llment in your life,” Cr Davies said. Narromine’s 2024 Senior Citizen of the Year, Norm Lewis, was the special guest speaker at the event.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Dandaloo Street railway level crossing and pedestrian level crossings in Narromine are set for much needed improvement works in May. The Local Traffic Committee Report tabled at the Narromine Shire Council meeting in mid-March, revealed as much to relieved locals who use the crossing. An Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) spokesperson, in discussing the project, told the Narromine Star that improvements to the Dandaloo Street level crossing, are designed to make the rail-road intersection safer, smoother, and more convenient for trains, road-users, and pedestrians. “Work will commence on Monday, April 29 and includes upgrading the road surface and rail components which will significantly improve the amenity at this location,” the spokesperson said. “ARTC will also upgrade the water main under the level crossing on becoming light during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 10 and 16 with daytime temperatures reaching the mid to high 20s. Sun protection recommended from 9:50 am to 4:30 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 8 [Very High] Saturday, March 23 Min 15. Max 26. Cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm.

behalf of the Narromine Shire Council,” they added. The significant upgrade will see lane and road closures, with the level crossing closed to all traffic (including at night) between Burraway Street and Derribong Street between the days May 17–20 inclusive. Some noise will also be associated with the works. Most work is expected to be undertaken during the day between the hours of 6am and 6pm. The ARTC has also coordinated with the community, Council, and local businesses, to minimise the disruption these important works may cause, the spokesperson said. “Our crews will minimise the impact of the work wherever possible, including positioning light towers to shine away from residences, watering-down work areas, and limiting the number of machines operating at any one time,” the spokesperson said. It is also hoped that significant attention will be paid to repairing

the pedestrian level crossings at this location, which suffers from crumbling pavements and broken tactile paving. Local residents using wheelchairs and mobility scooters, have complained about the state of the pedestrian crossings on both sides of the road, and issues to do with manoeuvering their devices over the flangegaps on the rail lines. Motorists have also complained about the bumpy ride over the on-road flange-gaps. The Local Traffic Committee noted that temporary road closure will also impact bus services requiring a re-route or relocation during this time, and indicated that notices explaining the full scope of the works, will would be sent to residents living near the line. Motorists will need to make other arrangements to cross the railway tracks during the road closure. The nearest level crossing is at Manildra Street. Details of the lane and road closures will be available on the ARTC website.

Dogs attack elderly Narromine man
Charmaine and Bob Treseder at home. By SHARON BONTHUYS AN elderly Narromine man suffered a significant injury to his leg when he was attacked by dogs while riding on his mobility scooter earlier this week. Bob Treseder, 86, was on his way to attend the Narromine Men’s Shed when the incident happened about 9.30 am on Tuesday, March 19. Two dogs left a property in Meringo Street and one allegedly bit the octogenarian as he rode by, leaving a serious wound to Mr Treseder’s right leg. When he saw the blood gushing from his leg, Mr Treseder turned around and drove his scooter home, seeking help from wife Charmaine who was horrified by what she saw. “There was so much blood! He was bleeding heavily and it looked pretty bad, the bite,” said Mrs Treseder, 79. She called close friends for help, who immediately swung into action, reporting the matter to Narromine Shire Council while supporting the couple and helping to clean up the blood. Mrs Treseder also called Triple Zero, with an operator providing fi rst aid advice over the phone until paramedics arrived and whisked her husband off to the Narromine Hospital. The Treseders’ friends, who
wish not to be identified, showed the Narromine Star graphic photos of Mr Treseder’s injury which took more than 90 minutes to treat at the hospital, including several stitches. The incident was a shock for Mr Treseder, as he regularly travels up Meringo Street to attend his Men’s Shed meetings on Tuesdays. He was left pale and shaking after Tuesday’s incident, and has been reconsidering his future travel route to Men’s Shed meetings when he is able to move about again, admitting he is nervous about travelling on his mobility scooter. “I’m afraid of aggravating the situation if I go back to the same street. I’m better off going through another street,” he said. Of his injury, Mr Treseder said: “There is a bit of pain but it’s not life threatening.” Mr Treseder, who uses a walker for moving about his home, has been told not to walk for at least two weeks. For someone who walks outdoors regularly with his walker on the advice of his doctor, the forced stoppage is not something he looks forward to, Mrs Treseder said. The Narromine Shire Council is investigating the incident and was not able to provide further information or comment at the time this story went to print.

School attendance across NSW improving, but still work to be done THE NSW Government has launched a new phase of its campaign to remind parents and carers of the critical importance of good school attendance as figures from 2023 show a promising lift above the improvement rates of other states. Student attendance increased from 85.2 per cent in 2022 to 88.1 per cent in 2023, a nation-leading improvement of 2.9 per cent, but schools are continuing to work hard to make further progress. The Department of Education’s latest ‘Every Day
Matters’ campaign aims to raise parent, carer and community awareness of the importance of attending school daily, showing how just one day off school can lead to students missing out and falling behind, academically and socially. Research shows positive school attendance benefits students’ academic achievement, engagement and wellbeing, while students who attend school regularly are also more likely to experience positive health, social and economic outcomes after leaving school. While school attendance rates have increased across the state, there’s more work to be done, and the NSW Department of Education is supporting schools with strategies to lift attendance.
Parents and carers are encouraged to reach out to their child’s school if they have attendance concerns, so they can access support. Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said: “A day or two away from school may not seem like a big deal, but missing just one day per fortnight adds up to an entire year of missed learning over a student’s school career. “We have made good progress on lifting attendance in NSW since coming to government, but there is more to do. “Unless your child is unwell, please send them to school. It’s the best thing you can do to ensure your child receives the best education possible.”

Upper house inquires into artificial intelligence in NSW THE Upper House Committee examining artificial intelligence (AI) in NSW has held its fi rst hearings at NSW Parliament in Sydney over the last week. The Portfolio Committee No. 1 - Premier and Finance heard from a range of witnesses providing an insight into various aspects of AI. Witnesses were drawn from technology, education and human rights sectors, business and industry groups, legal organisations, regulators, government, as well as academics and scientists. Committee Chair, the Hon Jeremy Buckingham MLC, stated: “[AI] is a major issue facing our society today. Technologies are developing at an exponential rate. “The committee is examining the impact of artificial intelligence on various aspects of our lives, both now and into the future, to ensure that New South Wales is well positioned to navigate the opportunities, risks and challenges this technology presents. “This will help inform and guide the committee as to what response may be necessary to carry us forward alongside ongoing advancements in the field.”

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, March 21, 2024 around a long while. Jesus uses the word hypocrite a number of times in the bible. It gets used in our language today, the applications can be varied. A follower of Jesus may be labelled a hypocrite in relation to what is distinctive to Christianity. i.e. how a Christian should respond to any given situation.

DELI-CIOUS GEMS By NORMA REID
Remember when, Narromine was a happening place? So help us now! LOOKING around town, I’ve been thinking about the changes since I moved here in 1990. Do you remember what we had way back then? In 1990, I felt our town was
truthful, hardworking, tolerant of everything, with love for everyone all the time. As this situation occurs, one fact may surprise us, none of the good things just mentioned make a person a Christian.
Christ, God the Son, came into this world, lived a sinless, perfect life and took the place of His people on the cross to pay the just penalty, for their sins.
This label assumes that to be a Christian one must be a sincerely good person; always ready to lend a hand, honest,
In the book of John, chapter 6: 28 – 29 (ESV) it says, they said to him,” what must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them,” this is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent”. Sounds simple enough! So, there is a belief, that Jesus
The follower of Jesus knows that he or she is a sinner, unworthy of God’s love because no matter how hard he or she tries, perfection is not attainable in this world. But the good news is, bible verses like Nehemiah 9: 17, tell us He is a forgiving God. For God looks down into hearts where the believing is done.
a ‘happening place’, full of people who really got the small-town vibe. Today it just feels like a place to drive through. The only people who can change that, is us. When Narromine became my permanent home, it had a shoe shop, fruit shop, deli, four butchers, flower shop, chemist, two grocery stores, baker, newsagency, all the banks, four real estate agencies, NRMA office, barber, and you could pay your rego at the post office. We had two car dealerships, more car repair places than I can remember, a fabulous Chinese restaurant, three caravan parks and two garden centres. We had people working from home, like daycare par-
ents, hairdressers, masseurs. Recently, I heard that our major freight company closed. Our volunteer groups, once bursting with members, now struggle to maintain enough people to take the positions. Our town is poorer for these closures and shrinkages. Many businesses start and stop, and people say, ‘it’s the sign of the times’, but I reckon it's because people are always looking for greener pastures. As an exercise, I researched what it takes to travel to Dubbo. People say it’s only 39 kilometres away, but fail to consider the next 20 or 30 kilometres to get across town. A round trip from Bunnings to Narromine Post Office is 87.6 km. From Narromine Post Office to Narromine Hardware store, it is just 240 metres,
from the Post Office to the Deli, just 63 metres. Yes, you may pay a little more here in town, but you save on fuel, wear-and-tear on your vehicle, and your time — and you help keep a Narromine business open. What is your time worth? Minimum national casual rates, are $29.04 an hour. With Dubbo a 60-minute return trip, this has already cost $29.04 in time. Whenever I go to Dubbo, I estimate I need around $150 per hour to be there as I do all my business in one huge tiring effort. I don’t shop online, as this usually doesn’t provide a person in my locality with a job. Our businesses can only be saved by the people who live here. The Deli can help as we
So, this belief or faith in Jesus, though not always easy, must be done by ourselves. It may be said, faith begins where failure leaves off. People of faith can be ordinary people, by the grace of God, looking to get to a place of faith in Him. Here’s a saying from a church signboard that you might have seen; “this church is perfect for all those who aren’t.” Why not make this Easter the perfect time for checking this out, in church.

bring in products that can't be normally sourced in Narromine, saving you time and money.
Here is our call to action: our Deli is struggling, and we need your help to keep it open. We have until August to turn it around, as our lease runs out then, and we will need to make the decision to stay open or close the only Deli in the central west.
We do have a lot of lovely loyal customers, but we need more people to use the Deli to keep it open. It would be a shame to lose it.
This is the community’s Deli, and we are only the custodians of it. Please help Claudia and I, to keep our jobs.
Cotton picking set to start Shortchanged councils: Upper House infrastructure, services funding inquiry
PHOTO: PIXABAY.
AUSTRALIA’S 1500 cotton growers, 90 per cent of whom are family farmers, have either started to pick their 2024 crop, or plan to fi re-up their harvesters in the coming weeks, as they contemplate another above-average season. Close to 480,000 green hectares of cotton have been planted this season, predominantly in NSW and Queensland, with the Northern Territory and Western Australia also now growing cotton crops. Cotton Australia CEO, Adam Kay said the crop results are looking positive, considering the predictions last September of
an El Nino (dry season). “Our growers were expecting a long, hot, and dry summer, forcing a crop revision below four million bales,” Mr Kay said. “The rains across our largest growing areas, were very welcome, and now we are expecting at least 4.5 million bales, which will result in more than $3.6 billion for the Australian economy, much of which will flow back into rural and regional communities,” he added In the Macquarie Valley, results have been a bit patchy, but growers remain optimistic of a reasonable season with
picking expected to begin in most regions in April. While some have reported very healthy crops, cloudy days resulted in lost fruit. However, summer storms provided excellent conditions for dryland crops, resulting in great dryland results. Mr Kay said the good season is cause to celebrate in every one of the 249 communities where cotton is being grown across the country. “It means more than $3.5 billion dollars will fi lter down through each area and that helps support jobs in regions that need them most,” Mr Kay concluded.
AS anyone who has ever worked in local government knows councils are the poorest funded of our three branches of government. An Upper House inquiry has therefore recently been established to inquire into the ability of local governments to adequately fund infrastructure and services. Standing Committee on State Development Chair, Legislative Councillor, Emily Suvaal (Labor) acknowledged that local government is doing it tough. “Councils are experiencing significant fi nancial challenges which are threatening the long-term sustainability of the sector,” she said. “This inquiry will examine the level of income councils require to adequately meet the needs of their communities, and give consideration to the current levels of service delivery and fi nancial sustainability in local
government,” she added. The enquiry will include assessing the social and economic impacts of the “rate peg” in NSW and comparing it with other jurisdictions and alternative approaches with regards to the outcomes for ratepayers, councils and council staff, the Chair said. “In addition, the Committee will also review the operation of the special rate variation process and its effectiveness in providing the level of income councils require to adequately meet the needs of their communities,” she added. Submissions will be open until late April, with Committee activity to follow later in the year. More information about the inquiry, including the terms of reference and how to make a submission, is available on the Committee’s Website.

From page 1 “When you do voluntary work, you don’t expect any response like that,” he said, referencing the civic award he received on January 26. Mr Lewis’s long involvement with volunteering began at the age of 19 after he moved to Bourke for work in 1957 and his then bank manager boss introduced him to community service locally. “He’d say, ‘Lewis, what are you doing tonight?’ And I’d say ‘nothing, or going to the pic-
tures’ and he’d say, ‘no you’re not, you’re coming back here,’” Mr Lewis said. Now 86, Mr Lewis and his wife Robyn followed her parents back to Dubbo after retiring, and joined Robyn’s brother in calling Narromine home. He then became involved in various community activities supporting local groups including the Narromine Golf Club where he helped form a veterans’ golf club in 2006. “Fortunately, we were able to get the state [veterans’]
championship here in 2016 and have had them here every year since. This is a good thing for Narromine because it brings people to town,” he said, indicating the golf course is one of the best sandgreen golf courses in the state and all made possible by volunteers. Mr Lewis said there are so many volunteer organisations, all of whom rely heavily on volunteer support. He has also been personally involved with the Narromine Show committee and the race club in the
past. He credited his late wife Robyn with supporting him in his volunteer endeavours. Mr Lewis said that it’s great for people and the town to become involved in volunteering. He greatly misses

Graeme and Pam Doyle also attended the Tea and Tech event, admitting they often struggle to navigate the online space. “Neither of us is very tech savvy. Graeme would love to learn more and I struggle. We can now do some stuff online,” Mrs Doyle said.

The Doyles said they were learning more about recognising scams. “I think I am able to pick up a scam now, quite quickly,” Mr Doyle said, noting the increasingly sophisticated nature of modern online scams. John O’Neill also attended the event with daughter Billie-Jean O’Neill. Mr O’Neill leaves most of the online stuff to his daughter, he said. Ms Nash told the Narromine Star the library team does often get enquiries from seniors about technical issues with their devices, which was one of the reasons for hosting the
event during the NSW Seniors Festival. However, their advice and support is not just restricted to this time of year. Patrons can come into the library at any time of the year with their tech queries.
Fun and games for seniors, Trangie SENIORS in Trangie enjoyed an enjoyable day of activities at the Trangie Bowling Club on March 19. Hosted by the Trangie Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), local seniors including sever-
al from Kurrajong Court and Coolibah Court aged care residences, escorted by Trangie’s Senior Citizen of the Year, Ros Hayden, were placed into six teams and moved through a series of round-robin activities which were planned and coordinated by students from Trangie Central School. Activities included badminton, skittles, cards, an egg and spoon exercise, a bag toss, and croquet out on the bowling green. Visiting from her home in Tasmania, former Trangie resident Alison Dugan supported her father Barry, 82,
to participate in the event. Mr Dugan proved to be a dab hand at the badminton, taking on Lorna Hayden and Coral Herbert, as well as the skittles. Isabella Fawcett from Trangie Central School told the Narromine Star that 14 students had planned the activities as part of a course they were doing which involved creating and running an event. “This happened to coincide with the Seniors Festival so it worked in well,” she said. The students ran each activity on the day, explaining what was involved, helping as needed, and recording scores for each team.
Prizes would be awarded at the end of the day, said Trangie LALC CEO, Karen Hubatka. “Everyone wins a prize,” she smiled.
Trangie LALC hosts the activity annually for local seniors and was very pleased to have the involvement of local students, Ms Hubatka said.
Seniors enjoyed delicious refreshments and lunch at the event which also provided an opportunity to connect with each other and the younger members of the community.

Pharmacy agreement reached LAST week, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, reached an agreement with the Labor Government to secure Australia’s Eighth Community Pharmacy Agreement. While the full details are yet to be released, the Government will invest an additional $3 billion in community pharmacy and in cheaper medicines, following changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) which included 60-day dispensing. These ill-thought-out changes to the PBS were always going to have unintended consequences in the Parkes electorate, where the local pharmacist is often the only primary health-care professional in many small towns. Labor did not think through the ramifications for regional Australia, which threaten the viability of many of our small pharmacies and the health of our communities. The Nationals launched a media campaign in protest of Labor’s doubling of prescription timeframes announced in last year’s Budget and so I welcome the ‘peace deal’ which

Residents share re-zoning concerns at public forum
Peter Howe speaks at the public forum on March 13.

Rick Jeffery. By SHARON BONTHUYS FOUR residents addressed the Narromine Shire Council at the public forum on March 13, expressing strong concerns about the proposal to amend the Narromine Local Environmental Plan 2011 to re-zone almost 100 hectares of land at Narwonah as “heavy industrial”. Peter Howe, Rick Jeffery, Judy Smith and Chris Kelly each had three minutes to address the seven shire councillors present and council management, watched on by more than 50 people in the public gallery. Landholder Peter Howe lives mid-way between Narromine and Trangie and told the council that re-zoning prime agricultural land to heavy industrial was “just ludicrous.” “You’re bringing a toxic lot of chemicals and whatever else into this area. You can also make it into a recycling facility,” he said. Mr Howe also expressed concern about the lack of consultation with local Aboriginal groups, neighbouring landholders and residents of the Villeneuve estate located about 1.5 kilometres north of the proposed site.
Final speaker, Chris Kelly. “Getting back to this ‘offensive material’. I didn’t know what offensive material is but apparently it pollutes and it will cause damage. “It emits emissions. Whether it’s smell, sound, dioxins, toxins, why do you want to place an E5 zoning in a prime agricultural area? Please, don’t let this contamination happen at the beginning of the food chain.” Rick Jeffery, who owns land near the proposed site, spoke about the personal impact of re-zoning agricultural land. “The E5 re-zoning will personally affect my business, my family and the value of my property,” Mr Jeffery said. “Narromine already has a diverse agricultural industry. Why would we want to destroy it? “Councillors, as representatives of the community it is in your best interests to vote against this re-zoning proposal.” Judy Smith is another landholder living approximately four kilometres from Narwonah. She expressed surprise at the proposal returning to council so quickly and so different from what was previously raised. “At the last meeting there [were] approximately four pag-
es in the meeting minutes and agenda along with one map. To put it succinctly, very little information on a significant and dangerous proposal. “A decision on this was deferred and rightly so. Needless to say, this surprise exponentially increased when the four pages and one map from the last meeting turned into hundreds of pages tonight. “Councillors cannot be expected to make an informed decision on a complex, dangerous and extremely controversial issue in less than four business days. Time needs to be taken to consult and fully understand its significance and ramifications. “It’s not good enough to say you will consult the community afterwards. Community sentiment on proposals of this magnitude must be sought beforehand. Common sense dictates this. Otherwise, your ‘process’ is a waste of staff time and our money.” Ms Smith also raised “the elephant in the room,” the “incinerator” proposal, indicating the re-zoning could pave the way for the NSW Government to determine Narwonah as “the most logical place for an incinerator.” The fi nal speaker, Chris
More than 50 people watched proceedings from the public gallery. Kelly, expressed concern that the re-zoning decision would make it possible for council to “do all sorts of things.” “I can’t understand why this is being rushed [and] why the town took so long to find out about it,” Ms Kelly said. “I can’t understand why so much land was bought in the fi rst place.” Ms Kelly said she didn’t trust the council or the councillors anymore. “I can’t understand why they would want this for a town like Narromine because it’ll be the end of it.” “I’m seriously thinking it is a done deal, and if we don’t get it this year it’ll be next year or in five years’ time. Only you know what you’ve got planned,” she told the councillors. Ms Kelly said she thought about 75 per cent of Narromine’s population were, like her, not happy about the proposal. After the council meeting, the Narromine Star spoke to Peter Howe about his experience addressing the council at the public forum. Mr Howe was pleased to be able to raise his concerns about the proposed re-zoning at Narwonah, but was very
disappointed in council’s decision at the meeting to support moving the proposal to the next stage. Judy Smith has been very active since the public meeting, sharing the text of her public forum speech on social media and her subsequent open letter to councillors requesting their immediate consideration of a rescission motion on the re-zoning proposal. “After my initial disappointment, I am now more philosophical about things,” she told the Narromine Star. “If we can get the Department of Planning to decline the rezoning application, it will give residents and businesses a great deal more certainty about the direction in which our shire is headed. “If anything, this has increased people’s determination to oppose and stop this proposal. Our next step is to write to the Department of Planning along with ministers and all politicians and state why this proposal is totally unsuited, undesirable and unwanted. “The more people who write or call, the better our chances,” she said.

Man crashes council meeting from public gallery By SHARON BONTHUYS THE public gallery generated a little excitement in the interval between the public forum and the Narromine Shire Council meeting last Wednesday night. A man present in the public gallery stepped forward after the public forum, waving some paperwork and alleging the council was corrupt, something rebutted by both the mayor Craig Davies and deputy mayor Dawn Collins. “This is the council cham-
bers, [and] you will abide by the rules under which we operate,” mayor Davies told the impromptu speaker, who was not listed to speak at the public forum preceding the council meeting. When the man attempted to continue, Cr Davies told him to sit down. During the event in the chambers, the man tried to get a few extra words in, objecting to the way he had been spoken to, which drew some applause from the public gallery. He did sit back down and then left the room, returning some time
Other items at council meeting By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH all the attention on the re-zoning proposal and public forum, you may have missed the other things discussed at the Narromine Shire Council on March 13. Here are some points of interest from the council meeting. The meeting papers can be downloaded from the council’s website.
Integrated planning and reporting COUNCIL will publicly exhibit its proposed four-year Delivery Program, a ten-year LongTerm Financial Plan, and an Operational Plan for 28 days from May 8. Public submissions can be made during this period. These documents need to be adopted before the beginning of each fi nancial year, outlining the activities to be undertaken that year, as part of the Delivery Program. The timeline for this process was tabled in the Reports to the General Manager. Council resolved to meet on June 26 to adopt the final planning and reporting documents following the public exhibition period.
Flood levee project COUNCIL considered cost estimates on the proposed Narromine Flood Levee project
and options for the next steps. Two options were presented: 1. Continue with the levee design and only proceed with construction if 100 per cent grant funding was available; or 2. Discontinue the levee construction project. After discussion, council resolved to complete the current levee design which had been funded, and take no further action on the levee project.
New loos for Dundas Park THE toilets at Dundas Park, Narromine, will be replaced thanks to a grant the council has received to upgrade public amenities. A toilet block has been ordered and will arrive in late March with installation scheduled for early April.
Look out, leadfoots! THE local traffic committee report has suggested the Manildra Street heavy vehicle diversionary route at Narromine could be a site of interest for a mobile speed camera to monitor traffic speeds. In case you didn’t know, the speed limit is 50 km/hr on Manildra and Culling Streets, and 40 km/hr in the school zone on Culling Street during set periods in the morning and afternoon.
later. At the end of the council meeting, he presented a fivepage document to Cr Lachlan Roberts before leaving. After the council meeting, the Narromine Star spoke with the man, who identified himself as “Kyle, a Living Man” outside the council chambers. The Narromine Star obtained a copy of the document, which begins: “Warning to the Corporate Government’s [sic] and Government Entities of the Peoples [sic] Australia.” The document proceeds to
make a number of allegations about “crimes committed against us” over several decades without providing any examples of what those allegations constituted or who committed the alleged crimes. The document accuses no one specifically of “hijacking our sovereignty and engaging in criminal activities in a subservient role to a foreign power without [the people’s] consent.” The document contains numerous other claims and ends: “We are Sovereign.” Kyle told the Narromine Star
that all he intended to do was present the document, which he called a letter, to the council. “I’m asking the council to read the letter and not treat it as trivial,” he said. Kyle said he was not the author of the document, which was signed, but knew the author. He also confi rmed he was not a resident of the Narromine shire and lived in Dubbo. When asked if he had presented his letter to the Dubbo Regional Council for its consideration, he said he had “via social media”.
Controversial re-zoning proposal goes to next stage From page 1 Cr Lachlan Roberts, who ultimately supported the proposal going to the next stage, requested an additional point be added to the recommendations that Narromine Shire Council would not to sell land to companies proposing “waste-to-energy facilities or any incineration projects.” During the discussion of the proposal, Cr Les Lambert said the Gateway Determination process may take several months and could be rejected. The parameters for community consultation will be decided by the department, said Phil Johnston, Acting General Manager and Director, Community and Economic Development. Narromine Shire Mayor Cr Craig Davies said “it was part of the requirement from the department that all the information needs to be in before it goes out to the community. It’s not something we make up on the run.” In speaking against the proposal, Cr Ewen Jones asked for another month to review the novel-length report and said community consultation should be done now, including with the Narromine Local Aboriginal Land Council. Cr Casey Forrester supported this suggestion, but it was not progressed. Cr Lambert’s fi nal comment that he wouldn’t have a problem living next to the proposed rezoned area brought some muted laughs from the gallery fi lled with community members. In the end, Crs Jones and Forrester voted against the proposal while Crs Davies, Collins, Roberts, Beaumont and Lambert voted in favour of the proposal progressing to the next stage. Cr Adine Hoey was not present for the vote. Post-meeting, calls have been made on social media by the Narromine Shire Positive Change Community Group for a rescission motion to be made to reverse this decision. For this to happen, three councillors would need to support a rescission motion within three months of the decision being made. The Narromine Star will continue to monitor developments in this matter.

Contributed by NARROMINE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL NARROMINE Christian School is excited to announce that they’re venturing into the mysterious world of podcasting! “As a Christian school, we believe in using modern technology to spread the message of Jesus Christ and foster a sense of community among our students and school families,” a Spokesperson said. “Our new podcast, titled ‘JAM (Jesus And Me),’ is an awesome way for our students to be real as they talk about school events and divide into the word and share their take on the scripture,” they added. The podcast allows for students to hold Bible studies and devotionals as well as interviews within the school community. “This podcast aims to provide a platform for meaningful conversations and insights that will
inspire and encourage our school families, on what the kids are doing around school,” the spokesperson said. “One of the main goals of our podcast, is for our students to ‘be real’ with themselves and share what they think about certain topics.” They are also a great way for pupils to practice speech and learn about how the podcast system works, the School said. “Our episodes are available on Narromine Christian School social media, allowing us to share our message with our school families. “We believe that this podcast has the potential to be a powerful tool for ministry and outreach; we invite everyone in our school community to tune-in and join us as we explore what it means to be a student at Narromine Christian School,” the spokesperson concluded.

Trangie branch celebrates CWA’s commitment to education
Contributed by PAT RILEY, TRANGIE CWA
GENEROUS grants to two musical Trangie Central School students highlighted the NSW Country Women’s Association’s (CWA) commitment to education. Recent meeting of the Trangie branch witnessed Patron, Mrs Jessie Quigley (OAM), presenting a local boy and girl with funds from the CWA’s Phillip Group. Addison Bennett and Eli O’Neill — both students of Trangie Central School — received grants with a combined value of $700 to help further their education. Addison and Eli are both musically-inclined and have their sights-set on attending the next Moorambilla Voices music camp. The CWA’s Phillip Group incorporates six branches: Eastwood-Epping, Georges River, Manly, Mascot, St George-Sutherland, and Sydney City. Each year, these branches organise fundraising events to provide education grants for children living in rural and remote areas of the State. The grants are not means-tested, and application forms for next year will be available later this year. Follow the CWA on social media to keep informed about this and the many other things the branch is doing for the community. Congratulations to Addison and Eli. We wish you all the best

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES A ROCK hard fit and tenacious Elson Boy, in a thrilling fi nish won the $150,000 Newhaven Park WRA Country Championship Qualifier over 1400 metres, before a big crowd on Sunday at Coonamble. Trained at Dubbo by Dar Lunn for Guy Mitchell (Binnaway) and Rob Pratten (Dubbo), the four-year-old gelding Elson Boy had started six times during the current campaign, winning at Orange and twice at Dubbo. Sent to the early lead in the 14 horse field by Sydney-based jockey Tommy Berry, Elson
Elson Boy wins Country Championship Qualifier – raced Sunday, March 17, 2024 Boy held a half length advantage over stablemate Pants On Fire when heads turned for home with Listen To The Band and Sizzle Minizzle close up while the favourite Gallant Star was winding up from midfield. Joined In front by Listen To The Band, Elson Boy ($11) fought back to win by a half head from the strong finishing Gallant Star (Sam Clipperton, $1.60 favourite) with a head to the nine-year-old Listen To The Band (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $5) while Sizzle Minizzle (Shannen Llewellyn) held on well for fourth. Elson Boy and the Brett Robb, Dubbo trained Gallant Star have now qualified for

Star jockey Tommy Berry had earlier won on Canamble for Wyong trainer Damien Lane and D’Oro Choice for Orange trainer Alison Smith. Formerly from Coonamble, Damien Lane will set Canamble ($4) for the $200,000 Wellington Boot after the dashing win in the Prelude on Sunday. The other Tommy Berry winner, D’Oro Choice ($2.40) blitzed the field when leading throughout for a five lengths win in the 1600 metres Class One and Maiden Plate. Another high profi le jockey at Coonamble was Brisbane based James Orman, who
landed a double on the Cameron Crockett, Scone-trained pair Competition ($2.60 to $2.15 fav.) and Don’t Call Me Honey ($2.70 fav.). Not content to let the city jockeys completely dominate the meeting, senior jockey Wendy Peel (Dubbo), and apprentices Will Stanley (Orange) and Braith Nock (Scone) booted home winners.

GERRIES GOLF
Rain cancels play By NORM LEWIS THE weekly Gerries’ Golf Competition was called-off due to rain last Saturday. With the Summer Gerries Comp drawing to a close, we will play the usual comp next weekend with the Ladies on the front nine and the men on the back. Hit-off will be at the usual early morning time. The Winter Wednesday Comp will also start in early April, with a late afternoon hit-off time. Contact the club for more details. — That’s all for this week, see you at the 19th!
By NORM LEWIS SCHEDULED nine-hole competition set down for last Saturday was called off due to rain. The downfall, however, was much needed for the course to keep it in good condition for upcoming events, so this wasn’t all bad news. Sunday was also overcast and much cooler than previous weeks. Even so, only a small field of 10 players arrived for the 4BBB event played over 18 holes. The winning pair was Mick Purtell and Steve Squires with a score of 44 points. They convincingly collected the trophies provided by Butts Plumbing. Second place went to Tony Mann and Duane Faro-Mann on 39. Greg Barling won the Nearestthe-Pin (NTP) on the ninth, while
Rob Gainsford won the prize on the ninth. Tony Mann also collected the long drive prize on the 10th with the much-awaited drawn Jackpot Birdie prize on the third hole was not won. In coming events, there’s an 18Hole Stroke Monthly Medal on Saturday with trophies supplied by Macquarie Clothing as well as a Veterans Nine-Hole competition being held in conjunction for a Club trophy. An 18-Hole Four-Ball Aggregate Stableford is also on Sunday, with trophies from Wardi Insurance. The Junior Clinic is on Sunday at the usual time and place. The Robert Handsaker Ford Business House event played on Wednesday, March 13, attracted a goodish field of 64 players, which was a little down on previ-
ous weeks, no doubt due to the hot weather. Team “Gerries” are still the front-runners in this competition, following Round 20 with the daily winning team for last week the “Gray Gonads” with a score of 22 points. Individual winners on the day, were Betty Berryman (26), Ray Anning (25), Stu Crawford (24), Adam Davies (24), and Wendy Jeffery (23). Nearest-the-Pin winners were Mitch Smith on the third, Brian Masling on the ninth, Robert Handsaker on the 10th, and Ray Anning on the 17th.The straight drives were won by Arch Harding on the fi rst, and James O’Connor on the 17th. — That’s about all for this week, see you at the 19th!
New vehicle initiative for farmers to help fight fires NSW landowners have until the end of this month to register for a trial scheme designed to enhance rural fi refighting capabilities. A collaboration between Transport for NSW and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), the trial enables the use of private Farm Fire Fighting Vehicles (FFFVs) without registration, provided they meet specific eligibility criteria. Also known as Farm Fire Units (FFU), the nominated FFFVs must comply with stringent guidelines, including the permanent attachment of fi re-fi ghting equipment, operation within a 100km radius of the storage address, and be maintained in a safe operating condition. These measures ensure that, while not registered, these vehicles are adequately equipped to assist in emergency situations and contribute effectively to fi refighting efforts.
Emergency Services Minister, Jihad Dib, urged farmers across NSW to make the most of the trial before nominations close at the end of March. “By allowing farmers to collaborate more seamlessly with the RFS in safeguarding their properties and those of their neighbours, this arrangement could enhance the State’s bush fi re capabilities,” the Minister said. RFS Commissioner, Rob Rogers acknowledged the valuable contribution of these units in rural fi refighting efforts, particularly with landholders often serving as initial responders. “Allowing eligible farm fi re vehicles to operate without registration ensures a more swift and coordinated response during emergency bush fi re incidents,” Commissioner Rogers said. “With high grass fuel loads across the state, getting on top of
fires as soon as we can is crucial to minimise loss and damage,” he added. With the Bush Fire Danger Period still in place for most of NSW; the move is timely for those that can take advantage of this opportunity, The Minister concluded. To nominate a vehicle for the trial, go to your local Transport NSW office and complete the trial nomination form, providing two photographs of the nominated vehicle. For more information about the trial, contact Service NSW.
The Narromine Star has been unable to find out how many central west farmers have signed up for this new program, but we’re keen to know more. If you’ve signed up, why not drop us a line?

Rebecca leads the way: Rams’ finals glory and Country selection By DALLAS REEVES NARROMINE’S Rebecca Smyth, has led Western Rams to a NSW Country Championships Rugby League title, and also bagged a NSW Country representative guernsey in the 13-a-side code. The dual-sport athlete, only recently left behind a stellar rugby union career which earned her 16 Australian Wallaroos caps between 2006 to 2014, to instead focus on rugby league. That decision to concentrate on league, saw Smyth captain Western Rams in this year’s Country Championships. Western Rams eventually defeated North Coast by 16 points in Saturday’s Open Women’s Country Championships Final at Woy Woy Oval. There is a recurring theme with the number 16; it is also the jersey number that Smyth wore while playing second-row for the Rams. Smyth, 39, was approached to play and lead the greenand-whites by Bathurst-based coach Kevin Grimshaw. Grimshaw is noted for his attention-to-detail, and Smyth enjoyed his methods. “We had three training sessions leading-up to the championships, and Kevin told the squad, you had to commit to those sessions to play,” Smyth revealed. “He was great to work under. I really enjoyed his coaching,” she added. The road to country championships glory for Smyth and her Western Rams started in late February in Junee. It was here that Western scored a big 68-6 win against Riverina with Smyth scoring two tries. She later grabbed another four-pointer in the Rams’ critical 20-10 success against Monaro at Cootamundra on Sun-

Despite a 28-12 win that looked comfortable on paper, Smyth said the fi nal was anything but easy. “It was such a hard game,” Smyth said. “The fi nal score didn’t reflect how difficult it was, it was a grind, North Coast are a very good team.” However, the major contests don’t end there for the Narromine High School Technological and Applied Studies/Personal Development Health and Physical Education Head Teacher. Smyth is now part of a NSW Country side that will compete
in the Harvey Norman Women’s National Championships on the Gold Coast from today (Thursday, March 21) until Sunday, March 24. NSW Country fi rst face Papua New Guinea, the Australian Defence Force Rugby League, and then South Australia, with the Finals day this Sunday, March, 24. This latest representative honour, though, highlights how Smyth has been able to pivot in her career and achieve new goals. Smyth played the 2022 Super W Rugby Union season with the ACT Brumbies but, with four kids and a persistent hamstring niggle, she felt it was time to move on from elite-level sport. She has also been a regu-
lar member of the Wiradjuri Goannas club in the Western Women’s Rugby League. “It’s great, I love rugby union, it’s a great game, but I was becoming a little bit stale,” she said of the reasons for her switch to rugby league. “This has been a change, playing with different people, and it’s something I’ve really enjoyed,.” she added. Smyth said that the decision to leave rugby union behind, was also one where she decided it was time to dedicate more time to her family. The nine-hour return trips from Narromine to Canberra and back, were also becoming a bit tiresome. “As an athlete, you have to be a little bit selfish,” she said. “I just felt it was time to
scale back.” A back-rower who can play on either the left or right-side, she will further display her versatility by playing lock for NSW Country. In rugby union, Smyth could cover open-side or blind-side flanker. Meanwhile, Narromine’s Bryson Read fi nished up his campaign with the Western Rams Under 16s Andrew Johns Cup side after its 18-10 loss to Central Coast Roosters at Woy Woy on Saturday. Read wore the number 14 jersey and played around 23 minutes in the close fi nals’ loss. The talented play-maker often went into the dummy-half role mid-match across Western’s successful 2024 campaign, which included four wins from six matches.
