Local kids enjoy Trangie Lions’ fishing comp STORY: PAGE 18 Wellbeing nurses helping to support shire students By SHARON BONTHUYS STUDENTS attending three schools in the Narromine Shire are benefiting from the presence of dedicated “wellbeing nurses” to help coordinate appropriate early intervention, assessments and referrals to health and social services. Trangie Central School, Narromine High School and Narromine Public School are among 11 education centres in the region to receive dedicated support through the Wellbeing and Health In-reach Nurse (WHIN) Coordinator program. They join other schools in Dubbo and Wellington to receive support under the program which started in 2018 as a joint initiative of NSW Health and the NSW Department of Education. The NSW Government has committed $60 million to the WHIN Coordinator program over four years, and will recruit an additional 250 school counsellors. “I’m really pleased the NSW Government is continuing our investment into this incredibly successful wellbeing program,” said NSW Legislative Council Member Stephen Lawrence MLC.

Locals to benefit from Barbara’s legacy By SHARON BONTHUYS WHEN Barbara Latham passed away last year, the 91-year-old left something behind that will benefit the aged care residents at the place she once called home, the Trangie Multi-Purpose Service. The accomplished artist left sketchbooks for her family containing finely drawn, precious memories of her life on the land that daughter Trish Phillips has turned into prints for a special fundraising event later this month. More than 50 beautifully framed prints of Barbara’s artwork will go on sale the Sunday before ANZAC Day at a special event to raise funds for Kurrajong Court and the palliative care unit at the Trangie Multi-Purpose Service. “The detail in the drawings is amazing. Mum drew all of them without glasses,” Trish told the Narromine Star. The owner of local Trangie business Ewe Two on Dandaloo is thrilled to be able to share her mother’s talents with the wider community. “These were all drawn by Mum from the age of 85 when she went into care at Kurrajong Court, until around the age of 90 years when cataracts took hold of her eyesight,” Trish said. Attendees will need to purchase tickets to the event which will include a grazing box, a drink and a “lucky gate” prize,

and have a 30-minute viewing window to look over the prints before the sale starts. Trish knows sharing the beautiful works with the world is a way of helping keep her mother’s memory and legacy alive and an opportunity to give something back to the local health service where her mother received excellent care. Trish said Barbara would spend her afternoons drawing as a means of keeping active while in aged care. Her artistic talents have also been inherited by one of her granddaughters. The fine detail in Barbara’s sketches is astonishing. As you can see from our photos, many are intricate country scenes that Barbara brought to life on paper with her exceptional talent. Barbara also painted using oils and water colours and occasional mixed-media, Trish said, but it’s her sketches that really draw the imagination. “When I look at these works, I see the land. She loved the country. Most of these pictures are of the central west,” Trish said. “Mum hated portraits but loved nature.” For further information about the event, follow Ewe Two on Dandaloo on social media or pop into the shop.

From page 1 “Participating schools such as Narromine High School and Public School and Trangie Central School, are carefully chosen to make sure that wellbeing nurses are available to the communities who need them most,” he added. Since the WHIN Coordinator program began, more than 10,000 students have been supported by wellbeing nurses across NSW. Susie Redden is one such wellbeing nurse who is based at Narromine High School. The highly skilled registered nurse works closely with the school’s Learning, Support and Wellbeing Team. Employed by NSW Health, Ms Redden works out of the school’s Wellbeing Hub on Mondays, Wednesdays, and every second Thursday. Ms Redden is one of around 100 wellbeing nurses working across 400 schools in metropolitan, rural and regional areas of NSW, potentially giving 150,000 students access to their important service.

Flying Doctor’s recent report: What’s best for the bush? ALARMING health disparities between Australians living in rural, regional, and remote areas and those living in cities have been documented in a recent report by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS). “The ‘Best for the Bush: Rural and Remote Health Baseline 2023A’ report demonstrates the massive health under-spend in rural areas that contributes to a heavy burden of disease and shorter life expectancy,” said National Rural Health Alliance Chief Executive, Susi Tegen. “Most of these diseases are preventable with better access to primary health care,” she added. The RFDS report, released annually, refers to an Alliance reCentral West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy. High chance of showers in the south, medium chance elsewhere.

It’s important to agree on a defi nition for ‘reasonable access’ to health care.” Ms Tegan said that baseline medical standards and levels of care should be established for the bush.

“The Alliance and others are working to develop minimum standards for healthcare access,” Ms Tegan said. “We’re keen on taking this project forward with the Government,” she concluded. The Alliance also called for development of a National Rural Health Strategy that aligns with the RFDS recommendation for a National Compact on Rural and Remote Health. This would be a transparent agreement to bring rural healthcare delivery under one umbrella, and oversee the implementation and funding of a sustainable plan to improve health outcomes for rural, regional and remote Australia, the Alliance says.

Locals to benefit from Barbara’s legacy

Fire season comes to a close for most of NSW OFFICIAL fi re season has come to a close this week with the end of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) for much of NSW. While spring 2023 was a busy period of the fi re season, summer was relatively quiet, thanks to timely rainfall. RFS Commissioner, Rob Rogers noted, however, this season saw a resurgence in heightened fi re danger, particularly in its initial stages, following three years of above-average rainfall. “RFS crews and other agencies responded to more than 5480 bush and grass fi res this season, which burned more than 445,000 hectares,” Commissioner Rogers said. “Tragically, we lost three RFS fi refighters. Senior Deputy Captain John Holmes, Captain Leo Fransen, and Group Captain Dale Bowles gave the ultimate sacrifice to selflessly protect communities across NSW,” he added. “They lost their lives in the service of others and our thoughts remain with
Daylight Saving ends Sunday, April 7 FOR those in western areas keenly hanging out for the end of daylight saving in NSW, you don’t have to wait long for summer time to fi nally close. Clocks will go back an hour at 3am on this Sunday, April 7 as we return to winter time for the next six months. We will remain on Eastern Standard Time until October 6, 2024 when Daylight Saving time again kicks-in. The NSW Government says sunrise and sunset will fall an hour earlier than currently, assuring us all that “there will be more light in the morning” once the clocks go back.

their families and loved ones.” A total of 29 homes, 142 outbuildings, and hundreds of livestock were also lost although hundreds more homes and buildings were saved due to the actions of fi refighters and landholders. While the BFDP may have officially ended, Commissioner Rogers said fi re restrictions have been extended in two Local Government Areas (LGAs) due to local conditions — until April 14 in the Mid-Western LGA and April 30 in the Snowy Monaro LGA. “The RFS and its partner agencies also remain committed to extensive preparatory efforts ahead of next season, with hazard reduction work already underway across the State and more than 62,000 hectares treated since 1 July,” he said. “Fires can occur at any time of the year, so we urge people to keep their property prepared, have bushfi re survival plans up to date and discuss them with their family and household,” Commissioner Rogers concluded.

Lions raise big money for good causes in Easter raffle
Narromine small business group wins big grant support
By SHARON BONTHUYS
By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal (FRRR) has awarded $20,000 to the Western Rural Connect group on behalf of the Narromine Small Business Network to conduct a Rural Women in Business Luncheon. According to the FRRR website, the Narromine Small Business Network will receive the funds for “a luncheon for local women with an interest in business that will facilitate professional, social and community connection to build understanding of drought and climate change associated risks.” This event will reportedly also “support the Narromine community to be more prepared for, and resilient to, the impacts of drought.” The announcement was made recently by the FRRR, which has granted a total of $737,774 to 29 not-for-profit organisations working in remote, rural, and regional Australia. The Narromine Star reached out to the Western Rural Connect group for information about the luncheon and the Narromine Small Business Network, but did not hear back prior to publication.

DO Lions love chocolate? Of course they do! So does the local community, which answered the call when the Narromine Lions Club began quietly selling raffle tickets in its Easter raffle a few weeks ago. The club raised a whopping $1,379 through the raffle which was drawn on Easter Saturday at the local shopping complex by club President Vicki Drew and Leanne Everett from Liquorland. Happy winners, Leonie and Jean, will no doubt enjoy their basket of goodies. The Narromine Lions Club has certainly been busy over the past month, raising more than $1,500 in support of several good causes. At its annual St Paddy’s Day fundraising dinner supporting children with cancer, the community service stalwarts raised about $160 through a “coin line” measuring several metres as part of a national Lions fundraising initiative. Spokesperson Karen Shearwood told the Narromine Star the club’s fundraising through the year supports local charities such as cancer support, the local hospital and local schools. Well done to the Narromine Lions Club for their commitment and sense of community.
RURAL HEALTH MATTERS
In the sprawling landscape of Australian agriculture,
safety is paramount Since 2001, 1,742 individuals have tragically lost their lives due to non-intentional incidents on farms in Australia, with 32 deaths reported in 2023 alone. This figure, though declining, serves as a stern reminder of the inherent risks faced by agricultural workers on a daily basis. AgHealth Australia’s recently published 2023
Non-intentional
farm-related
incidents in Australia report, funded by
cattle, motorbikes and tractors. These five agents alone accounted for 72% of all incidents reported in 2023. To address the dangers or risks posed by quad-bikes and tractors, targeted safety programs and evidence-based solutions are necessary. These include fitting older quad-bikes with operator protection devices (OPDs), promoting helmet use, and implementing rollover protection structures (ROPS) on tractors.
AgriFutures Australia, plays a pivotal role in understanding and presenting farmrelated injuries and fatalities. By leveraging this data, we can work together to create safer and healthier work environments for farmers, workers and visitors.
Quad-bikes and tractors leading causes of farm-related deaths Quad-bikes and tractors continue to be the leading causes of farm-related deaths in Australia. With regard to injuries alone, quad bikes are the leading cause by a significant margin, followed by horses,
Seatbelt use is also crucial in preventing injuries on farms, serving as a vital safety measure against potential consequences. In addition to physical safety measures, education and training provide workers with the knowledge and skills they need to identify and mitigate risks, and we can empower them to protect themselves and their colleagues from harm. While progress has been made, continued investment in research, education and advocacy is essential to identify and address emerging risks in the agriculture sector.
Farm safety is not just a matter of statistics Farm safety is about protecting the lives and livelihoods of those who work tirelessly to put food on our tables. Despite the progress made in recent years, there is still work to be done to ensure that every farmer returns home safely at the end of the day. Of course, safety is not just the responsibility of individual workers; it requires a coordinated effort from all stakeholders in the agriculture industry, including farmers, industry organisations, government agencies and the wider community. By working together, we can create a culture of safety that prioritises the wellbeing of agricultural workers and reduces the risk of accidents on farms. Whether through research, education or advocacy, there is a role for everyone to play to ensure farming remains a safe and sustainable profession for generations to come.

Rural Crime Matters
Dog incidents on the rise, horses injured in Trangie By SHARON BONTHUYS

NARROMINE Shire Council is investigating a further complaint of roaming dogs in Trangie following an incident earlier this week. Horses belonging to a local resident, Kylie Moore, were allegedly injured in the incident on the morning of Tuesday, April 2, which was immediately reported to Council. Ms Moore published photos to social media of the two dogs allegedly involved in the incident, which left her three horses with varying injuries.
“I had trouble catching them and cleaning them up, they are that spooky [after the incident],” she told the Narromine Star. One horse sustained an injury to the left shoulder, another is limping, and the third has an injury to the fetlock following the incident which reportedly occurred inside their fenced paddock, she said. An angry Ms Moore has lodged another complaint with the council about the latest incident. The Narromine Star has sought comment from the Narromine Shire Council.
Regional crime inquiry: Mayor urges residents to have their say By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH crime continuing to be a talking point across regional NSW, Narromine Shire Mayor Cr Craig Davies has urged residents to make submissions to the recently announced regional crime inquiry. Although it’s not called that directly, the “Inquiry into Community Safety in Regional and Rural Communities” is focusing on issues to do with criminal activity in the bush. With police responding to two brawls in Narromine over the Easter break (see related story), Cr Davies said that the issue is topical and relevant at the moment. “Council understands that many residents have grown disillusioned with reporting criminal activity due to a lack of confidence in the judicial system,” Cr Davies said. “(However,) it is imperative for our community to bring the full-extent of these issues to light and capture the attention of the NSW Government,” he added.
Cr Davies emphasised the significance of the crime statistics recently released by the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), reported in last week’s issue of the Narromine Star, which indicated disproportionate levels of crime in regional and rural NSW in comparison to metropolitan areas. BOCSAR reported significant increases in the following offences in regional NSW over the five years from 2019 to 2023 These included: f Motor vehicle theft — up 20 per cent, an additional 1239 incidents; f Domestic assault — up 24 per cent, an additional 3284 incidents; f Non-domestic assault — up 14 per cent, an additional 1825 incidents; f Sexual assault — up 47 per cent, an additional 1505 incidents “Rural and regional residents deserve genuine public dialogue with the NSW Government regarding crime and justice, to explore strategies and measures aimed at addressing these concerning trends,” Cr Davies said.
“Council strongly urges Narromine Shire residents to be forthright on this critical issue. I implore as many people as possible to inform the State Government about the realities of what is occurring in this community, to catalyse genuine change in tackling crime.” Residents can lodge submissions to the inquiry before the end of May in two ways. Online submissions can be made via the inquiry’s webpage on the NSW Parliament website. Submissions can also be made by post to the following address: Edmond Atalla MP NSW Parliament Law and Safety Committee Community Safety in Regional and Rural Communities Inquiry NSW Parliament House 6 Macquarie Street, SYDNEY NSW 2000
with drink-driving, and conducted 17,256 road-side drug tests with 863 positive drug detections. Statistics for the Western Region during Operation Easter included: f 646 speed infringements, f 19,514 breath tests, f 1113 drug-driving tests, f 35 Prescribed concentration of alcohol charges, f 27 major crashes, f One fatality. Commander of Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden, said the shocking behaviour of a minority of road-users continues to put the majority of people at risk. “Prior to the start of the operation, I pleaded with all road users to make this long weekend a safe and enjoyable one,” Asst Comm McFadden said. “Unfortunately, due to the actions of a few, we’ve had more fatalities and serious injuries in a number of serious crashes that could have been prevented if the warning was heeded,” he added
POLICE faced a busy weekend in Narromine, responding to two separate brawls in different local streets on Easter Sunday. A NSW Police spokesperson has confi rmed just before 3.00 am on March 31, 20 police were called to a home in A’Beckett Street, Narromine, after reports of a brawl at a party. Officers from the Orana Mid-Western Police District attended and attempted to break-up those involved in the incident. As Police attempted to disperse the crowd, some became hostile and began throwing projectiles at officers. Additional police from surrounding commands attended to assist, and officers returned to the home after reports a person had been injured. Oleoresin capsicum spray was deployed, and the group finally dispersed, leaving the location. A 19-year-old man reportedly attended Dubbo Base Hospital for treatment of a wound to his arm, and a 50-year-old man suffered a laceration to his chest, however, treatment was not sought. A number of officers had been struck by projectiles during the incident, however, they did not require treatment. An investigation is now underway to identify those involved. As police enquiries continue, anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. In a separate incident, police responded to a brawl in Murgah Street, Narromine, just after 5.00 pm on Sunday. Those involved were dispersed without incident and there have been no reports of any injuries. Police have also refuted social media rumours of a supposed death related to the Murgah Street incident.
Further information about the inquiry can be found on the NSW Parliament website.
Carnage: Eight die on NSW roads over Easter IN an all-too-familiar tragedy, NSW Police reported that eight people lost their lives during the Easter long weekend. This continuing carnage follows a number of crashes on the State’s roads as a minority of drivers continue to put themselves and others at risk through irresponsible and selfish behaviour. These alarming figures were despite the “Operation Easter 2024” police campaign that started at 12.01am on Thursday, March 28, and concluded at 11.59pm on Monday, April 1, with double demerit points in place throughout that period. The operation targeted the major factors contributing to road trauma — excessive speed, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fatigue, non-wearing of seatbelts and helmets, and mobile phone use. Police saw a concerning number of dangerous driving incidents during the operation, issuing 5,709 speed infringements across the State. They also conducted 232,092 breath tests with 295 people charged

He said that these are hard lessons for drivers to have to learn. “Again, we can’t accept this irresponsible behaviour and the community shouldn’t either. “It is time we as a collective worked together to end this carnage on our roads,” Asst Comm McFadden said. One of the notable incidents during Operation Easter involved the Dubbo Traffic and Highway Patrol on March 29, which stopped a Toyota HiAce on the Newell Highway due to excessive speed. After speaking with the 49-yearold male driver from South Australia, officers searched the vehicle, locating 33 kilograms of cannabis. The driver was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with supply prohibited drug — commercial quantity and possess prohibited drug. The man appeared at Dubbo Local Court on March 30, where he was formally refused bail to appear at the same court on April 4.

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH Easter is the answer IF you stood in front of a class of young adults and one asked, ‘What makes Christianity different to any of the other main religions? How would you go at distinguishing between Christianity
DELI-CIOUS GEMS By NORMA REID
Beware shoppers: the silent thieves at the checkout! BE on the look-out for the “money thieves”, robbing you silently, quietly, putting their sticky fi ngers in your back pocket quite regularly, chipping-away at your budget, one cent at a time. Automatic teller machines (ATMs) and EFTPOS (elec-
Powerlines for renewables underground? NSW Upper House inquiry tables report EVERYONE would love power lines in rural areas to be underground — especially for new renewable energy projects — but how practical and cost-effective that is was the subject of a recent NSW Upper House inquiry. Committee Chair, the Greens’ Cate Faehrmann, said in delivering the inquiry fi ndings that much more could be done to encourage and facilitate utilisation of underground lines to reduce the negative impact of above-ground lines on rural areas. This was the second inquiry into the issue, following an
from Buddhism, Hinduism Islam, Judaism or one of the many derivatives from these main ones?’ Maybe it’s the public holiday, or the TV coverage of the cardinal, or archbishop at the time. The answer could be just another excuse for double demerit points or in the case of last weekend, the chocolate and the bunny. Apart from the grocery items that have become recent Easter tradition, there were two events last weekend that answer the question, ‘what makes Christianity different?’ These two events that are particularly celebrated on the cal-
endar being,Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Good Friday remembers that day when Jesus took the place of his people on the cross and died for their sins. How could he be punished for these wrongs? Because Jesus was and is without sin of his own, he was able to pay the penalty for the sins of all who believe in him. How come Jesus had to pay? Any wrongdoing requires forgiveness if there is to be reconciliation or restoring of friendship. Here’s an example; let’s say that when my daughter was little, she had an accident at home and broke a window. At this point she may ask,
‘Please forgive me’. A loving, caring father would say it is alright sweet, I forgive you. And we say, “that’s exactly what God ought to do”. Then comes the question, “Who pays for the window?”. The fact is,I do. Forgiveness always has a price. Let’s say someone insults you, in front of others. Later you graciously say, “I forgive you”. Who bears the price of that insult? You do. You bear the pain of the lie, and the loss of reputation in the eyes of others of those who witnessed the insult. This is what God has done for us. He has said, “I forgive you”. Then he paid the price of
forgiveness Himself, through God the Son, on the cross. The second event is Resurrection Sunday. It celebrates when Jesus rose from the dead, walking from his tomb. How could he return to life? By the power of God, showing that he was God’s son. It’s a confi rming of our forgiveness. Imperfections aren’t ignored, rather, we are reminded that they’ve been dealt with on the cross. These fundamentals of Easter are unique; a reason why Christianity is set apart, making it different from any other religion.
tronic funds transfer at point of sale) are the money thieves… and you let them in. We have been convinced that paying by card is simple, convenient, easy and free, but we are blindsided about the true cost of this. Check out your bank statement. Look at your bank fees, ATM charges (as high as $2.80 per transaction), your EFTPOS and ATM receipts. Add up the total fees you paid for the week. You might be shocked to fi nd you’ve spent anywhere from $5 to $50 paying with debit or credit cards. Check if your bank also charges you for using their card. Have you accounted for this in your budget? Every cent counts.
Larger retailers usually don’t charge a surcharge. If they do, they need to display signage outlining the surcharge cost. It is against the law not to have this signage in place. Smaller retailers, such as the deli, do have a surcharge for EFTPOS purchases. Our sign is clearly displayed, and we also ask if you wish to accept the surcharge. When we offer an EFTPOS receipt, take it and keep it to count your card usage fees. Every electronic transaction costs us as a small business, as the surcharge has a surcharge which we must pay for the cost of doing business. However, this is not passed onto the customer in our small business. By paying electronically, you are giving your hard
earned money away. A $20 transaction paid for by card brings a 22-cent surcharge. Would you physically hand over this amount for every $20 spent in cash? The other concern is, what are we teaching children? How can they learn the true value of what five cents is worth, when all it means to them is a tap of plastic? Occasionally, children bring coins into the deli to buy a few lollies. They often have no idea how much money they actually have, how to count it, or how much they can buy with it. In our business, we help children count out their money, split it up in the value of lollies, and show them what they can buy. Lollies are valuable currency to children! The question is: how will
these children grow-up to understand money handling if it is just a figure on a bit of paper? ATMs and EFTPOS transactions rely on nothing going wrong with bank systems, computers, the internet, or electricity. Cash doesn’t rely on any of these systems, and it costs you nothing to use. Have a great day!
earlier one by the State Development committee, and started in September 2023. It sought to provide a balanced assessment of the merits of both overgrounding and undergrounding electricity transmission following significant community concern around a number of transmission infrastructure projects underway in NSW. Some 81 submissions were received and two public hearings have been held as part of the inquiry. Ms Faehrmann said the Committee sought to objectively assess the merits of overgrounding and undergrounding electricity transmission. “However, the limited uptake of undergrounding technology in Australia, particularly at the scale of the transmission projects exam-
ined — HumeLink and Central West Orana — made the task challenging. “What is not in dispute is that the necessary infrastructure for the transition to renewable energy must be built as quickly as possible. The lack of social license for HumeLink and Central West Orana is putting deadlines for the completion of this necessary infrastructure at risk.” Ms Faehrmann said transmission providers and governments can do much more to build support for transmission infrastructure and noted the frustration that exists. “The community is frustrated that all costs and benefits of undergrounding and overgrounding technology aren’t taken into consideration during the initial assessment phase,” she said.
“Overgrounding is almost always chosen, due to its historically lower fi nancial cost than undergrounding. The “biased attitude” of transmission providers, regulatory authorities and governments favouring overhead transmission was also a source of community frustration, she said, and called on the NSW Government to take action. “It’s clear that what’s needed is an independent assessment into the costs and benefits of undergrounding transmission infrastructure to ensure a more informed debate, and we call on the NSW Government to commission this. “Governments also need to ensure that electricity transmission providers develop climate adaptation plans for their energy infrastructure
to ensure that the State’s energy transmission networks are built with the resilience to withstand more frequent and extreme weather events.”

One option the inquiry explored was the viability of a “hybrid approach” using both over and underground technology in projects, and the committee encouraged the government to work with providers to consider hybrid opportunities.
“I believe this could go some way to allaying the very real concerns in some communities that their concerns aren’t being heard,” Ms Faehrmann concluded.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Retirement announcement LAST week, I announced my intention to retire at the next election and, since then, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support and well wishes I have received from the people of the Parkes electorate and colleagues from all sides of politics. What has been most touching, is the countless messages from the people I’ve been able to help over the years and, at the end of the day, that’s why I entered politics in the fi rst place. I just wanted to get a better deal for the people in the bush, and it’s been incredibly humbling to hear from so many people, who have appreciated what I’ve been able to do over the years. But there’s still plenty to be done before I do step aside, and I will continue to work as hard as ever to ensure the Parkes electorate is not forgotten by this Government.

and Online Safety Legislation Amendment Bill” into Parliament. This bill seeks to crack down on youth crime, by making it illegal to post social media material that glamourises violence and criminal activity. The Bill also provides the eSafety Commissioner with specific powers to require such videos and material to be taken down. Many community leaders in my electorate, are telling me that social media is fuelling crime among our young people, who are being encouraged by their peers to engage in criminal behaviour for “likes” online and notoriety. We call on the Labor Government, to get on board and support this important, common-sense policy, which will hopefully deter young people from doing the wrong thing and, might help break the current cycle of crime.
Changes to car tax not good enough LABOR’S attempts last week to put its vehicle efficiency policy into reverse, does nothing to stop price rises for Australia’s most popular vehicles, because of its tax on existing models. Minor changes announced by Ministers Chris Bowen and Catherine King, will provide no relief from Labor’s proposed new vehicle efficiency standard that is still aimed squarely at the country’s top-selling vehicles. While minor concessions have been made for some large towards the project. The opening is a significant milestone for the community.

The Government has also failed to reduce the impact of its tax on passenger cars, including popular hybrids and SUVs Australian families love to drive.

Easter Bunny hops into Trangie!
Easter spirit is everywhere!
The Easter Bunny paid a surprise visit to the Trangie Caravan Park over the long weekend, seen here with Bernie, Jennifer, Cedric (standing) and Margaret (seated, right). PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR
By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Easter Bunny paid a visit to the Trangie Caravan Park over the long weekend, bringing a little joy to local residents, posing for many photos, and raising funds through raffles and donations in the process. “This is the third year the Easter Bunny has visited us,” said Alex Gartside, whose family manages the caravan park.
Alex’s Mum, Clarissa Gartside, helped out our famous chocolate-carrying rabbit by bravely donning the heavy Easter Bunny outfit several times across what proved to be a very warm weekend, and all for a very good cause. The $313 raised by the family through photos taken with the Easter Bunny and associated raffles will be donated to the Trangie Hospital
Auxiliary, a cause close to the family’s heart. The Narromine Star was present as caravan park guests Bernie, Jennifer, Cedric, and Margaret happily posed for a photo with the Easter Bunny. The couples are spending several days holidaying in the region. “We’re happy to support this good cause,” Bernie said.

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE’S own local historian, Norma Meadley, was honoured at a special ceremony earlier this week in the local library. Member for the Dubbo Electorate, Dugald Saunders MP, presented Mrs Meadley with a 2024 NSW Seniors Local Achievement Award on April 3 in recognition of her 22-year service to the Narromine local history room which is co-located in the library. The award was part of the NSW Seniors Festival which took place last month. “This recognises your significant contributions to the Narromine community and unwavering passion and commitment to the local history room,” Mr Saunders said. Mr Saunders also presented Mrs Meadley, 79, with a parchment of the Hansard extract of the speech he delivered to the NSW Parliament where her achievement was duly recognised on March 21. “I didn’t expect this. I only
do this because I enjoy it,” Mrs Meadley said of her voluntary work in the local history room. She also paid tribute to those volunteers who have worked with her over the years, some of whom are no longer alive. She said many people are interested in local history and she recently spent one of her volunteering days supporting a visiting couple looking for information for a family history. Gabby Teale-McEvoy, acting team leader of the Macquarie Regional Library in Dubbo and Narromine resident, said the importance of Norma’s work could not be overstated. “You’re on the front foot of collecting everything for the future,” Gabby said. A number of ladies who have worked with Norma over the years in various capacities and current library staff were in attendance at the special event, which was followed by morning tea. Congratulations, Norma!

Easter Frolic continues tradition at St Augustine’s By ST AUGUSTINE’S PARISH SCHOOL
BEGINNING way back in 1992, a much loved tradition at St Augustine’s today is the Easter Frolic. Students dress up – or not! – and gather in the parish hall for a fun night of dancing and frivolity. One of the highlights is the limbo. Students love the night and many parents fondly remember the nights they, too, had dressed up and attended the frolic.

The event was a great day for families and many attended with Visitors to Trangie, Imogen Hearne and mum Anna try their their children. hand at fishing.
Look at these local community service legends: Dave Dugan, Geoff Terry and Paul Gartside from Trangie Lions Club. By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE Lions hoped local children would come down to the Middle Goan for their free Easter fishing competition – and come they did! About 60 children turned out to the Easter Saturday event with a good number of parents and carers in tow. Club president Dave Dugan was thrilled at the turnout at the event which Lions staged with the support of the Macquarie Cotton Growers Association and NSW Fisheries so that local children would have a free Easter activity. “There are heaps more children than we expected, close to 60,” he said. Dave was at the Goan with a small team of

Trangie Lions who provided some instruction on fishing and a barbecue lunch for participants. Dave joined fellow Lions Geoff Terry and Paul Gartside at the barbecue when the Narromine Star stopped by to capture the action. “It’s great to see the parents are encouraging their children to fish,” said Geoff. “Especially as some of these kids don’t get to go to the Macquarie River to fish,” Dave added. Jackie Brabrook attended the event with son Eddie Sheil, 4, and other family members. “This is a fantastic day. It’s great to have a free event like this for the kids,” Jackie said. Young Eddie caught a sizeable carp in the Goan. Af-
ter posing for several photos, he did his best Rex Hunt impression and kissed the carp, and then promptly threw it back into the water. Abi Wilson, 6, was another young fan of the fishing day and caught something which also ended up back in the water to live another day. “I caught a really big fish. I think it was a carp. I haven’t caught anything else yet though,” she told the Narromine Star. With so many visitors to Trangie for events over Easter, it was no surprise that some ended up at the fishing day. Visitor Anna Hearne enjoyed fishing with daughter Imogen. “It’s my fi rst time fishing. I’d like to do it again,” said young Imogen.
Jackie Brabrook and son Eddie Sheil. “I think this is a really good event for children, just to get the experience of fishing like this,” Anna said. The day brought back special memories for resident Narelle Brabrook. She told the Narromine Star about the good old days of the “Yabbathons” that used to be held in Trangie many years ago. “They were run by the old Argonauts Club, who would paint numbers on the backs of the yabbies and we’d catch them and win prizes. It was a big family tradition, going to the Yabbathons,” Narelle said. Congratulations to the Trangie Lions Club for staging such a great event for local children.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES BANDI’S Boy, the likely favourite for the $1 million Newhaven Park Country Championship Final at Royal Randwick on Saturday, April 6 and well-performed central west galloper Taren Lad, raced more than 50-years apart, however both are linked through their ownership by John Woods. The very well-liked and respected Woods, died in tragic circumstances at his property near Cowra in February, but always had a wish to get another good horse after Taren Lad. Auctioned after winning the Flying Handicap at Bedgerabong Picnics, Woods rejected the fi nal bid of $1600 for Taren Lad and retained ownership, with subsequent good results. Trained at Bedgerabong village by former picnic jockey, Roy Parsons, Taren Lad (Teranyan X Raven Lady) became a prolific winner on central west tracks and, in the early 1970s, was taken to Sydney for a six-furlong handicap event one Saturday at Warwick Farm. Connections secured extravagant odds of 66/1 and they were feeling confident of collecting when Taren Lad, starting at 50/1, after being 12th on the turn, dashed through an opening on the rails to hit the front close to home. Urging on Taren Lad from the grandstand, trainer Roy Parsons lost his balance and tumbled down a f light of steps. When helped to his
Woods’ Bandi’s Boy the western hope in the Newhaven Park Country Championship Final feet and dusted off by Woods and friends, Roy asked: “did we win?”. Unfortunately, Roy was informed another outsider, Berrinup at 20/1, had unleashed a powerful fi nishing burst down the outside to grab Taren Lad in the last stride and win by a half head with Jet Pilot owned by Jack Darcy formerly from Bedgerabong, in third place. Taren Lad was later trained at Grenfell by Chris Hardy, the father of present-day Wagga Wagga trainer, Chris Hardy, and won two Cowra Cups and the Cotton Cup at Warren. Always with a passion for horses, Woods had a brief stint as a jockey on the picnic circuit and, later, on his well-run farm ‘Manna Park’ in the Burcher area, he began preparing and riding horses in three-day eventing and show-jumping. Grey Duke, a prolific picnic cups winner when trained at Forbes by Charlie Piercy and ridden by Ken Parsons, when retired was obtained by John Woods for Showjumping and became one of his best mounts when achieving considerable success at the Sydney Royal Show. During the fi nal stages and on the brink of being selected for the Olympic Games ThreeDay Eventing team, he withdrew due to having to self-fund the big expenses involved. Another interest for Woods, was the Forbes Jockey Club of which he was a popular member of the committee for more than 30 years, and for 10 of those, he was the Forbes representative on the Central Districts Racing Association.
Part-owned by Woods and trained at Dubbo by Frank Hayes, the fi lly, Tibidabo, began racing in 2016 and, over her fi rst four starts, won at Goulburn and Coonamble and fi nished second in a highway at Rosehill. During a brief career, Tididabo was later trained at Muswellbrook by Pat Farrell, who formed a good friendship with Woods: “I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly chats on the phone with John, who was a very nice fellow”, Pat recalled. After retirement, Tibidabo was sent by Woods to the Kooringal Stud owned by the Lamont family at Wagga Wagga, and joined to The Brothers War. Not long after having her foal, Tididabo died and the orphaned Bandi’s Boy was reared as a poddy. Trained at Goulburn by Danny Williams, the Woods bred-and-owned Bandi’s Boy, made an auspicious debut, when fi nishing fi fth in the G3 Kindergarten Stakes, followed by three wins at Randwick over the next seven starts. Two days after the largely-attended Memorial Service for Woods at Forbes, the Danny Williams trained favourite, Bandi’s Boy ridden by regular jockey, Jay Ford, came from well-back with a big fi nish to win the $150,000 Newhaven Park Country Championship SERA Qualifier at Moruya. Danny Williams decided on another start for his rising star, before the Championship decider and last Saturday at Rosehill, Bandi’s Boy at $15 and again ridden by Jay Ford, finished power-
fully from midfield to win the 1200-metres $250,000 EGroup Security G3 Star Kingdom Stakes at Rosehill from Malkovich and Roots. Bandi’s Boy, the good horse that John Woods always hoped to get, after Taren Lad was beaten in a photo-fi nish more than 50-years-ago at Warwick Farm, will have a huge following from Woods’ family, friends, and racing fans, when contesting the $1 million Newhaven Park Country Championship Final on Saturday at Royal Randwick.
Bourke - raced Sunday, March 31 CONTINUING a run of very consistent form on the circuit, the Connie Greig, Dubbo trained Linden Tree on Easter Sunday won the Splashe Cola-Rices Back O Bourke Cordials Harry Hart Memorial Picnic Cup at Bourke. Prior to Bourke, Linden Tree won the Condobolin Picnic Cup and was runner-up in the Picnic Cups at Bedgerabong and Tottenham. Before a big crowd at Bourke, Frau Holle led by four lengths with Linden Tree back near last with stablemate Kalpana. Ridden by the Brazilian born Leandro Ribeiro, Linden Tree ($2.60 favourite) ran the 1600 metres out strongly and won by a length from Kalpana (Izzy Neale, $4.60) with Frau Holle (Ricky Blewitt, $10) battling on well for third.

Quiet week during the Easter Break By JOHN EDWARDS
By DALE HARDING THE ladies have recommenced their golfing season, with a nine-hole, four-ball, best-ball event followed by lunch. Some 35 competitors including visitors from Dubbo, Warren, and Tottenham played the event. The front-nine trophies were donated by Sue McCutcheon and Barbie Tuck, and back-nine trophies by Dale Harding and Viv Halbisch. Nearest-the-pin (NTP) prizes were donated by Heather Bootle and Robyn Jones, and the raffle was donated by Marj Kelly, Carol McDonald, Carole Padderson, Carole King, and Viv Halbisch. Winners of the front-nine comp were Sue McCutcheon and Mardi Remond with 23 Stableford points, and the back-nine winners were Betty Berryman and Cindy Job with 22 points. The NTPs were won by Carol Mcalman, Deb Fairbairn, Betty Berryman, and Vicki Gainsford. We also welcomed our patroness, Joan Collins, to our lunch. Saturday was a single Stableford event with only a small field of five playing 18 holes, and one playing nine holes. Gail White won the club trophy with 39 points, and Vicki Tuck won the drawn card. On Wednesday, we played a Stableford event for a trophy donated by Gail White. This week we also played a par event for a trophy donated by Marj Kelly but, as this report was submitted before publication, we don’t have the results in this issue. We’re pleased to be back on the green and look forward to seeing you on the course.

Cobar trainer Wayne Prisk enjoyed a good day, landing a winning double with Mr Pointer and A Tender Lady, both raced in partnership by Wayne Prisk and Butch Eves. After sharing the lead with Have Mercy, Mr Pointer (Emily Harrison, $7) gained the ascendancy to win by a long neck from Have Mercy (Leandro Ribeiro, $3.40) while Hurn Court (Maddison Wright, $3.20 fav.) humped the 77kg top weigh in to third place in the 800 metres Bourke Bowling Club Open Trophy Handicap. First-season jockey Emily Harrison with her trademark captivating smile, was again welcomed back to the winners’ stall after the 1000 metres Nutrien Walsh Hughes and Franks Outback Security Class B Handicap. Leading for home from Oh No Devon, A Tender Lady ($4.40) won by over two lengths from the strong fi nishing Scruff ’s Magic (Izzy Neale, $5.50) and Hammoon Sunshine (Maddison Wright, $3.40). Maddison Wright and Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb had earlier combined to win the 800 metres Bourke Steel and Hire-Franks BP Service Station Maiden Plate with Hammoon Sky ($1.80 fav.) which led all the way and had over three lengths to spare at the fi nish from Party Stop (Tony Williams, $3.50) and Juliet Bravo (Ricky Blewitt, $3.50).
By NORM LEWIS THE weekly Gerries’ Golf competition last Saturday had a surprise visitor: the Easter Bunny, and guess what? He won the weekly event! Some eight golfers turned up for the nine-hole event on the back nine. The winner on the day was Des Weir, who collected the major prize of an Easter egg with a score of 24 points. There was a tie for second place between Bob Richardson and Ron Green on 23 points. The countback declared second place in favour of Ron. There was also a tie for the NAGA prize with Jamie Roberts and Vince Ferrari on 18 points. Jamie collected the goodies on a count-back. There was no winner of the Nearest-the-Pin, and the prize now jackpots. A special thanks is extended to the Easter Bunny for his donation of the chocolate eggs. No doubt some were left over from Friday’s special Easter Treasure Hunt. The Gerries meet again this weekend on the front nine at the usual time. This will be the fi nal event of the summer competition, and the Winter comp gets under-way next Wednesday in the afternoon on the front nine. That’s all for this week. Hope you all had a Happy Easter. — See you at the 19th!
THERE wasn’t much happening around the club last weekend due to the Easter break. Hope everyone had a lovely Easter, ate plenty of chocolates, and spoiled the little ones. Championship bowls are put on hold for the time being, however, the fi rst round of Pennants commences this Sunday against Dubbo City in Dubbo. The team consists of Duane Faro, Adam Jermyn, Robert French, Henry Buttsworth, Phil Harding, Alex Sambrook, James Daley, Rob Standford, Dave McNair, Kevin Rider, Ben Clarke, and John Edwards. Players are reminded we’ll be meeting at the club early on Sunday. Can you let me know by Friday if you are unavailable, please? Social bowls are also on every Thursday and Sunday, so come and have a roll. Apologies to the social bowlers for not providing results each week. I will endeavour to include results commencing next week. Stay tuned to the Noticeboard for what’s happening in the club in the coming weeks. Until next week — good bowling and Crackajack!

TRANGIE Campdraft was held over the Easter weekend at the showgrounds, swelling the town’s population temporarily, fi lling the local caravan parks and accommodation venues, and bringing a welcome economic boost to the area. The three-day event included competition across multiple categories for juniors, juveniles, novices and open classes. “We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone that made the trek over to spend the Easter weekend with us, have a scoot around the arena and a boogie at
the bar,” organisers said on social media. “A massive shout out to all our cattle donors, cattle transport, event sponsors and anyone that pitched in over the weekend to help announce, run the bar and jump in the backyards. We could not have run without you all. “Thank you to everyone for picking up all your rubbish and leaving the grounds so clean and tidy. It’s much appreciated after a big weekend. “We hope to see you all again in 2025.”
