Narromine cenotaph turns 100 on ANZAC Day By DAVID TAYLOR, PRESIDENT, NARROMINE RSL SUB-BRANCH ON Thursday, April 25, along with the whole of Australia and those living in many other countries, the people of Narromine will pause to remember those who gave their lives on this day in 1915 at Gallipoli. Indeed, Australia’s fallen servicemen from every conflict will be commemorated, as we remember those whose lives were dedicated to defending our country. ANZAC Day this year will be a special occasion for Narromine. It was on this day 100 years ago that the cenotaph in Dandaloo Street was unveiled. This memorial was erected to honour those who fell in World War I (then called The Great War). In their speeches, the State and Federal members said the design and appearance of the monument was much better than any other they had seen in the state. The cost then was £1,080, or around $2,160. In today’s terms, that figure would conceivably be well in excess of $300,000. The cenotaph itself has been subjected to turmoil. In February 1932, a cyclone tore through the town, severely damaging the memorial and destroying the Catholic church, among other structures. The monument repair was (out-of-pocket expenses only) less than $17. Try to imagine that today! Continued page 5

Azadi Far Ride reaches Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS ARRIVING in Narromine last week, an adventurous young woman and her two sturdy endurance horses officially hit the half-way mark in their epic 1,100-kilometre trek across NSW to reach the Murray River. Just three weeks after setting off from Goondiwindi to travel the stock routes south across the state to Tocumwal on the NSW/Victorian border, Shané Steffen and her Arab horses Glory and Melika reached Narromine and the half-way point in their journey known as the Azadi Far Ride to the Murray. The team is making good time on the trek, named after the Persian word for ‘freedom’, and should take six weeks to complete.

“Slow” tourism assets THE agricultural scientist and sustainable farmer from Bullyard near Bundaberg, Queensland, is not riding for charity or to break any horseback travel records. She’s showing the world — and in particular, the NSW government — that the state’s stock routes and reserves, still widely used by drovers and farmers, are a sustainable “slow” tourism asset with heritage value that need to be protected.

and value of stock routes as a youngster near Texas, southeast Queensland, Ms Steffen gained a greater appreciation for them as she grew up and undertook rail trails and hiking. Helping preserve them for recreational purposes as well as agricultural purposes is very important, she believes. It’s this type of outsidethe-box thinking that helped propel the quietly spoken 27-year-old to be recognised as the 2023 Young Woman of the Year by the non-profit Queensland Rural, Regional and Remote Women’s Network Inc last December.
Visit to Narromine and the CWA
HAVING passed through several central west communities on the 34-leg trip south, including Coolah, Leadville, Dunedoo, Elong Elong and Dubbo, Ms Steffen rode into Narromine on the afternoon of April 10 and set up camp at the back of the showgrounds. Her mother Birgit Steffen, acting as her support driver during the trek, also joined her in Narromine. That night, mum and daughter joined the Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA) branch for their monthly meeting followed by dinner at the United Services Memorial Club. Continued page 9

Girl Guides set to “fly high” in Narromine this weekend By SHARON BONTHUYS A UNIQUE program encouraging Girl Guides to “fly high” and explore all things aviation kicks off in Narromine this weekend. Twelve young women from Girl Guides Australia will converge on the town from all over for an action-packed program at Narromine Aerodrome. Ranging in age from 13 to 27 years and coming from Melbourne, Wollongong, Sydney, Canberra and Mudgee, the group will undertake introductory trial fl ights and a range of aviation-related ground activities. They will also visit the Narromine Aviation Museum. The adventurous weekend has come about through the efforts of two members of the Women in Aviation International (WAI) Australian Chapter, Grace Walker and Michelle “Miche” O’Hare. Locals will know Ms Walker as the proprietor of satellite fl ight training school, Flying With Grace, based at the Narromine Aerodrome, while Sydney-based Ms O’Hare is “almost a local”, having competed regularly here in aerobatics competitions. Ms O’Hare is also a Girl Guide veteran, celebrating her 30th year in the organisation which she joined at the age of six, following in the footsteps of her mother Norma. Both ladies are also qualified Girl Guide Leaders and licensed pilots, and thrilled that the activity has been supported by Girl Guides Australia. “With Miche’s connection to Girl Guides, we decided to put on a day for trial introductory fl ights to give young women and girls exposure to aviation,” Ms Walker said. “We’ve made a big weekend of it. While we’re up flying with some of the girls, Miche and her mother will be doing ground activities with those not flying,” she added. Ms O’Hare explained more about the activities planned for the camp. “We’ve got quite a few hands-

on activities for the Guides to do, learning about aviation in a fun way,” Ms O’Hare said. “Things like mapping activities to learn more about navigation, little aircraft models to build and lots of different puzzles and challenges to learn about flying. (My Mum) previously worked as a teacher, and is also keen to help with the activities,” she added. The response from Girl Guides to the expression of interest for the Narromine weekend has been amazing, Ms O’Hare said, indicating her own experiences as a young Guide helped introduce her to the world of aviation. “I did aviation as my outdoor activity for [the Queen’s Guide

The Narromine Star has previously spoken with Ms Walker about her passion for encouraging young people to explore the possibilities of aviation for recreation and careers. She is thrilled to be working with Ms O’Hare to make this camp happen, and thankful to Girl
Guides Australia for supporting participation in the activity. “I’m excited to be involved and that young girls get a chance to fly. It’s nice that organisations like the Girl Guides support aviation,” Ms Walker said. “A lot of other groups don’t allow f lying because of the risk associated with it,” she added. While flying is an important part of the weekend program, Ms Walker says flying may not be everyone’s passion, and it was important to show the Girl Guides there are still many different areas within aviation they could pursue if flying was not for them. “Just showing them there are many options out there, wheth-
er that’s air traffic control, onground planning, teaching, or even considering STEM activities,” Ms Walker said. “But it’s also about gaining confidence in themselves, and having fun with their friends.” Should the event be a success, it may lead to further aviation camps being staged in the future, with Ms O’Hare saying the location is ideal for this type of activity. “Narromine is the perfect place to hold a camp like this because we have the campground right next to the Aerodrome,” she said. “The participants can walk straight over to fly and do their activities, and the Aviation Museum is there as well,” she concluded.

Support available following Sydney massacre COUNSELLING services have offered support in the wake of last weekend’s horrific knife attack in the Bondi Junction shopping complex in Sydney, which killed six people and injured 11, and the subsequent stabbing of a priest earlier this week during a service in western Sydney. Beyond Blue’s CEO, Georgie Harman, said people can experience a wide range of feelings and emotions when shocking events like this happen in a community. “This will, no doubt, have a profound impact on the community, bringing up feelings of shock, grief, immense sadness, anger, fear and helplessness,” Ms Harman said. “These feelings are normal as people try to process what has happened, and it will take time for emotions to settle, but it’s never too early to seek support if you are feeling distressed,” she added. Images of children being rushed from the complex, some with their eyes covered by parents and carers, have been a stark reminder that young people may also be significantly affected by what they have seen of the event in person or on television. Kids HelpLine is available to support children, young people and their families
deal with sadness and distress at this time, a spokesperson said. While offering the only national 24/7 counselling and support service specifically for children and young people aged five to 25 years, the organisation also has advice for families to be able to support their children in the home. Kids Helpline counsellors advise the following tips for helping young people concerned by the tragedy: f Be there for them and let them know it’s okay and normal to be concerned and worried about this. For example: “Yes, it’s very sad, isn’t it?” f Discuss what happened and help them process what occurred. f Try to limit their exposure to media stories around the tragedy, which can re-traumatise them and build anxiety. It’s okay to simply turn off the news for a while and use it as an opportunity to talk. f Try to fi nd something positive to do. Might simply be writing out a card, contributing to a fundraising campaign, or encouraging their school to do something. f Stick to your normal daily routine. Kids draw comfort and safety around routine and consistency. Ensure they continue to social-
ise with friends. f Hugs and comfort. Let them know they are loved and safe. f Don’t forget to look after you. This can be a stressful time for everyone. Beyond Blue said it’s equally important to look out for any longer term mental health impact in the coming weeks and months, such as: f Feeling overwhelmed, numb or detached. f Unable to focus or plan ahead. f Having a short fuse, or feeling irritated. f Constantly tearful. f Intrusive memories or bad dreams. f Replaying the event over and over. “If you have prolonged feelings of distress, reach out for extra mental health support,” Ms Harman said.

Health district has innovative approach to accommodation problems The former 18-room Endeavour Court Motor Inn on Bourke Street will become accommodation for doctors, nurses, and others relocating to Dubbo. PHOTO: WNSWLHD.
IN an innovative approach that also seeks to alleviate the central west’s accommodation shortage, the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) recently snapped up an old motel to house doctors, nurses and others in the caring professions relocating to Dubbo. Health district Chief Executive Mark Spittal recently revealed that the district has purchased the former 18-room Endeavour Court Motor Inn on Bourke Street to boost available accommodation for staff servicing Dubbo Health Service. Mr Spittal said the accommodation is designed to provide a safe and comfortable place to stay in coming months for visiting medicos and as a temporary home for newly-recruited staff settling into the Dubbo community. “This investment will further boost our recruitment efforts, by providing visiting frontline health staff with access to a free and safe place to stay in Dubbo, Mr Spittal said. “The new accommodation will also reduce the burden on the local rental market and reduce our reliance on other higher-cost options,” he added. The old motel only closed in late March and, when oper-
ating as a motor inn, included spaciously appointed rooms and an in-ground swimming pool. The site is also close to the hospital, adding to the convenience for staff staying there, Mr Spittal said. Dubbo Health Service Manager, Debbie Bickerton, revealed that modifications are being made to the motel to ensure they meet the requirements of healthcare workers, including the provision of additional security. Being able to provide accommodation for key health workers is a major component of the district’s strategy to support and build the western NSW health workforce. Narromine is one of several sites where key healthcare worker accommodation projects are in development. Other locations include Baradine, Collarenebri, Condobolin, Mudgee, Narromine, Walgett, Warren, and Wellington. Despite further information not being available from the WNSWLHD about the Narromine accommodation project, the Narromine Star understands from local contacts that key health worker accommodation is slated to be built on vacant land behind the hospital from mid-2024.

From page 1 In 2023, the RSL Narromine sub-branch held an essay competition for school children. Following on from its success, another competition was held this year and the winners will read out their entries at the main cenotaph event in Narromine at 11.00am on ANZAC Day. The proud winners of the essay contest are: f St Augustine’s – Isabel Smyth and Jane Edwards. f Narromine Public School – Archie Craft and Ali Gill. f Narromine Christian School – Amarni Edmunds and Joe Cusack. f Narromine High School – Kye Brotherton and Rheegan Carter. The schools were also active in promoting
ANZAC Day by having their students draw posters. These will be displayed around town in the days prior to ANZAC Day. Several events will be held in Narromine on ANZAC Day. These are listed below, as well as the scheduled activities at Trangie. The members of the Narromine RSL subbranch encourage all of you to attend at least one of these events in either community, and especially the main service to support our children’s participation in the day.

ANZAC Day: CWA Women at War By PAT RILEY, TRANGIE CWA IN 1939, Australia’s young men again answered the ‘call to arms’ as the world headed off to war for the second time in two decades. However, what has not been so well documented is the role played by women, specifically Country Women, during the horrendous years that followed Germany’s invasion of Poland and the subsequent alliance that developed between Great Britain and France. Members of the relatively new Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW were quick to respond to the Government’s call for help and right across the state, from the city to the outback, public buildings
were converted into makeshift workstations. CWA members worked in shifts in an unused car showroom in Newcastle to convert 1.5 million metres of wire and 83,000 component parts into frames for 9,180 camouflage nets. The request was for 100,000 nets. By the end of the war, CWA members and other groups had produced a total of 240,000 nets. Sydney tanners generously processed 10,000 donated sheepskins to be made into vests for soldiers fighting overseas. With the help of volunteer furriers, CWA members produced 40,000 vests and numerous other items of clothing to be shipped overseas. Along with the Red Cross, CWA members re-
paired hundreds of thousands of military uniforms and knitted equally as many woollen garments to be included in care packages for servicemen. For the duration of the war, the CWA Canteen, which operated out of St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney, churned out thousands of meals for Servicemen. On Christmas Day 1944, 4,000 men enjoyed a traditional Christmas meal, prepared and served by these stalwart women. Away from the city, while they dealt with the increasing number of duties created by the absence of their menfolk, women were preparing countless numbers of fruit cakes and biscuits for shipping overseas. Lest we forget.

Kurrajong tree consultation raised in public forum
Tree roots are a problem in some parts of Narromine Cemetery.
Some of the trees at the cemetery will be replaced.
By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Council had failed to adequately consult ratepayers about the future of kurrajong trees set to be removed from the local cemetery, a public forum held before the council meeting last week has been told. About 17 people attended the public gallery for the forum in which Narromine resident Andrew Knop addressed the meeting about replacing the trees, which was Item Two on the Infrastructure and Engineering Services report. “Council is about to embark on another decision which will radically impact our community and have far reaching impacts on families, our Shire heritage values, and our finances,” Mr Knop said. He added that the council report had provided “confl icting information” on the trees and the decision defied appreciation of country and heritage, as well as failing council’s own
consultation processes. Mr Knop said council’s community engagement strategy commits to implementing the International Association of Public Participation’s (IAP2) comprehensive engagement program but fails to do so. The council’s plans, policies, and programs must engage the community and “deliver the social justice principles of equity, access, participation and rights,” he said. Mr Knop then suggested that the council report did not reflect this five-step, comprehensive IAP2 consultation process being applied to any of the recommendations about the cemetery trees, and failed to deliver the community engagement goals. “There is no evidence that council attempted any further engagement activities to involve, collaborate, or empower the community and then meet its IAP2 goals,” he said. Mr Knop then sought to survey the public gallery, but

Narromine Mayor, Cr Craig Davies, rejected this as being outside the scope of the public forum. Mr Knop said that the councillors’ role in community engagement was to listen to the views of the community and to consider them in making decisions and ensuring that their voices were heard. Council staff were to help facilitate this without dominating or directing community discussions, he said. In response, Cr Les Lambert commented that council had received 15 submissions on the issue when it went out to public consultation, with seven in favour, seven against, and one undecided. Mr Knop replied that seeking written submissions satisfied part of one IAP2 goal, but the rest of the process had not addressed the fivestep process. Council’s Infrastructure Director Melanie Slimming told the meeting that followed
the public forum that Narromine cemetery is a heritage-listed site on the State Heritage Inventory. “That means, we do have to follow certain processes before we can do anything at the site. “The Narromine Local Environmental Plan 2011 Section 5.10 specifically says if we are going to be removing more than just a dead tree or the odd tree here and there, we do need to follow quite a specific process to make sure that we’ve done all of the consultation and all of the checks and balances,” Ms Slimming said. This involved different stages of public comment, she added. “The approval process includes consultation with the community,” she said. “We have already done a bit of a survey of the community, to understand where feelings are, but there will be another section of that throughout the development application (DA).”
In a unanimous decision, council determined it will defer the selection of the preferred replacement trees at the cemetery and seek a staged replacement program. After the meeting, Cr Davies expressed disappointment that Mr Knop did not stay to hear the council’s response to the issue he raised in the public forum. “The cemetery is heritage-listed and thus requires a DA when trees need to be removed. “It is during the DA process that community consultation occurs so no one has missed the opportunity to make a comment,” the Mayor said. He encouraged residents to talk to council about issues of concern in order to be properly informed. What the community consultation process will look like moving forward in relation to the cemetery tree replacement is not yet known.

Local Government
Council candidate has her eye on the big issues By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH the NSW Local Government elections just five months away, recently announced candidate for Narromine Shire Council, Melanie Pryde, staged a local meet and greet last Saturday. The Narromine resident, small business owner and expectant mum told the Narromine Star that she is looking forward to the challenge of running for council and having the opportunity to represent shire residents. To help achieve this, Ms Pryde has been busy talking to local businesses and residents about the big issues of concern in the community. This, she says, has given her insights to and a fi nger on the pulse of what the local community wants. “The big issues are the incinerator and the re-zoning proposal, noting that there is nothing I can really do about it at this stage. I’m not on council yet,” Ms Pryde said. “Other issues are community cleanliness and animal control. I decided to run as a

Council Meeting Wrap-Up By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire Council met again last Wednesday, April 10. Some of the items raised for deliberation and discussion included:
Councillor Forrester acknowledged… THE contribution of outgoing councillor, Casey Forrester, who resigned on April 9, was acknowledged at the start of the meeting by Narromine Shire Mayor, Cr Craig Davies. “I would like to acknowledge the very diligent and courageous efforts that Casey put in as a councillor here. “She should hold her head high and be very proud of her contribution to this council and her community,” Cr Davies said.
Tomingley Gold grants Grants totalling $61,600 were endorsed the Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO) Community Fund, with disbursements as follows: f Australian Skin Cancer Foundation — to bring the “Skin Check Truck” to Narromine in October 2024 ($3,000). f Dusty Boots Festival and Awards — to assist with hosting the annual country music festival and awards in Narromine ($5,000). f Narromine Aero Club — to host an outdoor cinema event at Narromine Aerodrome ($5,800). f Narromine Business Collective — to host the rural women in business luncheon at Narromine ($10,000). f Narromine Junior Jets — to purchase new football equipment ($2,500). f Tomingley Picnic Race Club — Tomingley Picnic Races sponsorship and race track improvements ($30,000).
f St Augustine’s PnF — to install a LED notice board for the school ($5,000). f CWA of NSW Far Western Group — prize money for public speaking competition ($300). “This is one of the best funds we’ve got in the shire, what [Tomingley Gold] gives to the community,” Cr Les Lambert commented. “And, as you can see, there are a wide variety of recipients across the board,” he added.
Development approvals EIGHT development approvals were listed this month, with assessment times ranging from one day for a domestic shed to 35 days for a dwelling and shed. These bring the total developments approved this fi nancial year to 44, with a total value of $8,552,041. Some 41 applications were approved at the same time last fi nancial year, with a value of $9,981,090. Another 12 development applications are currently in assessment, Cr Davies said.

veloping interest in council policies. Ms Pryde also expressed concern about vandalism and
crime in the community, including vulgar graffiti and broken glass littering Dundas Park. “There are children just learning to read who see those words and images,” she said. Ms Pryde believes that Council’s mobile security camera could be placed near Dundas Park for a period of time in the hope of catching vandals in the act. “Why aren’t we being proactive?” she asked. Ms Pryde has already been invited to sit down with senior management at Council before the election, saying she appreciates this opportunity for discussions. Noting the current council is facing increasing public criticism over a range of local decisions, Ms Pryde looks forward to the challenges she knows lie ahead if she is elected. “You have to listen to your constituents and the council needs to be transparent,” Ms Pryde said. Narromine Shire heads to the polls on September 14.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
My recent visit to Lara DEAR Editor, On a recent visit to Geelong I had the chance to speak with some Lara locals at the local Sunday markets in relation to the waste incinerator proposal for Lara. This formerly rural, but now fast developing semi urban area is some ten to fifteen minutes drive from the Geelong CBD (in fact I did some casual teaching at the local high school in 2010). Residents at the markets were uniformly identical with their grave concerns regarding the development of the incinerator in their community as we are here in Narromine and were pleased that our situation had not moved beyond the local level as yet. I believe that the local MLA for Geelong, Christine Couzens, is opposed to the development. After going through the Victorian Civil and Administrative Appeals Tribunal (VCAT) process, the EPA in Victoria granted a development licence in December last year for a waste to energy facility. My observation of this development
is that this matter has now entirely left the purview of the local community for whom this will impact. The problem with this is that the cost of appealing this decision is very high for any community group opposed to the development. What I can see now is a very unfair ‘playing field’ for this matter in Victoria. In relation to our local issue, I can see this playing out with respect to the re-zoning of the Narwonah land to E5. For me, I can see the increased propensity for this to travel down the Victorian pathway of quickly moving out of the purview of the local community through the guise of a State Significant project. Like in Victoria, the local community can organise (like we already are), but this time at great expense and complication against a potential developer. The lobbying model could discount the important desires of the local residents who live in the community that will be affected. Vaughan Ellen Narromine Resident

Questions-on-Notice CR Ewen Jones had asked if a public address system could be installed in the Council Chambers to improve sound quality for the public gallery. Council will investigate this proposal. Cr Jones also asked for an update on the Simmons Global project at Narromine Aerodrome, and was advised that additional information has been sought from the applicant. The DA is currently suspended until the information is received.

Azadi Far Ride reaches Narromine Gabby TealeMcEvoy presents Ms Steffen with a hamper of items to take with her on her travels.
Shané and Birgit Steffen at the Narromine CWA meeting on April 10.
Narromine CWA welcomed the travellers to their meeting.
From page 1 Narromine CWA president Gabby Teale-McEvoy also presented Ms Steffen with a large hamper of food and other items from the branch to support her onward travels.
Joys and challenges MS Steffen told the CWA members about some of her experiences on the trek so far. “This journey is about painting a picture to show people what’s possible and what it looks like to travel using the stock routes,” she said. “We’ve done about 600 kilometres in three weeks and it’s been really good. We’ve met the communities, the farmers, the drovers.” Glory and Melika have also managed the trek well, although the latter did incur a minor leg injury and is likely to be rested with friends in the central west while Glory continues on with Ms Steffen. As regular users of stock routes, drovers, in particular, have been the most valuable source of information during the journey, Ms Steffen said. Advice from the drovers she has met on the trek has led Ms Steffen to change routes and resting spots at times, especially where accessing water was concerned.
“A lot of the assets like the water points are there [along the stock routes] but they’re just in poor condition. Either they’re ill-maintained or they’re sabotaged. CWA members were shocked to hear that pipes connecting windmills to water tanks have been pulled off in some locations. “It’s a simple thing to fi x, but I don’t have the tools,” Ms Steffen said. This has meant not having water at times for the horses, and sometimes for a whole day. “I would imagine it’s even more frustrating for the drovers who have a couple of hundred or thousand head of livestock,” she added. Apart from the water issue, Ms Steffen has thoroughly enjoyed her trip. She spoke about the changing flora and fauna in different parts of the state and the wildlife that call the stock routes home. “When we passed through Moree to Narrabri, the only life that you saw through those cotton and grain fields was the stock route corridor. Roos, emus, bustards, wallabies, and all manner of birds. “Everywhere we’ve gone through the stock routes, the birdlife has been phenomenal.
Ms Steffen with her horses Melika and Glory at Narromine showgrounds during her visit. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
“The really unique thing about the stock routes is there is a cultural value there. Not just for Australia but also First Nations. A lot of the stock routes were traditional Aboriginal travel pathways so there’s a shared culture there,” she said.
Use them or lose them MS Steffen said she was pleased to learn the Central West Cycle Trail through communities east of Dubbo uses a lot of the old stock routes on its 400-kilometre loop. Ms Steffen is convinced that if the public stock routes and reserves are not used, they will be sold off. NSW has about two million hectares of stock reserves currently, she said, but many stock reserves have closed over the years, particularly out west and towards the coast. At Narrabri, she met some landholders who are pushing back against the development of an overland gas pipeline through some of the stock corridors and reserves there, which would severely limit access, she said. “Some of the stock reserves up there are only 60 metres wide. So 30 metres of that you can’t go in because they want to put a gas pipe-
line through it.” It’s modern day challenges like this that spur Ms Steffen on to raise awareness that stock routes and reserves are also available for recreation purposes like the slow-travel she is undertaking. She also wants to encourage people to speak up where public access to these places is being impacted by proposed developments, renewable energy projects, and long-term leases. “You can push back and say, ‘no, you can’t use it for that purpose’. It’s Crown Land but is reserved solely for the purpose of travelling,” she said. Ms Steffen says it’s incredibly hard to cross public stock routes and reserves once development commences on them, citing the example of a stock route within a mine exclusion zone near Boggabri. “You can’t go into them without special permission. You’re supposed to ring the ranger and the mine but there’s no phone reception. Once you get to the gate, which is locked, you need to ring them to get their permission to cross,” she said.
Alone, but not for long WET weather early on in the trek, which left Goondiwindi on March 18, impacted plans for other potential riders and
participants to join the Azadi Far Ride, so Ms Steffen has completed the trek alone to date. But she won’t be alone for much longer.
Her eighty-year-old grandfather, Peter Steffen, is travelling from his home in Germany to join her in Parkes and continue the rest of the way to the mighty Murray at Tocumwal. The super-fit octagenarian will most likely hike rather than ride through the stock routes, Ms Steffen said, but she will certainly welcome his company.
Learn more and follow the trek

You can also read more about Ms Steffen’s epic trek on the Azadi Far Ride website which features her personal blog. And perhaps, one day, you might also get to see the documentary this amazing young country woman hopes to make about this and other stock route journeys she plans to take around the country in future.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Big week out west I SPENT last week on a big road trip, visiting many of my western communities, including Warren, Cobar, Wilcannia, Menindee, Broken Hill, and Nyngan. On this trip, I caught-up with each of the councils in these towns to discuss a range of local issues. I also met up with a number of constituents, community groups, and various other organisations. One of the highlights of the week, was my visit to Klondyke Range Complex — a military-grade testing facility located on approximately one million acres of uninhabited land about 130 kilometres north of Wilcannia. Able to accommodate a diverse range of testing and live-fi ring capabilities, there’s no other testing range in Australia like it, making it a unique asset for the Parkes electorate.

It is organised by young people for young people in communities across NSW and Australia. Following the success of the NSW Youth Week program, Youth Week became a national event in 2000. National Youth Week is
long time coming, and I’m proud to have helped secure $8.7 million under the former Coalition Government’s Building Better Regions Fund, to go towards Broken Hill’s CBD revitalisation. Having a modern library is a key part of attracting families to town. A library is more than just books; it’s a meeting place, a cultural and educational centre, and an important community facility, and this project will provide a wonderful asset that the people of Broken Hill will be able to enjoy for years to come. I look forward to seeing the development come to life over the coming months.
Grants benefitting local community groups LAST week, it was wonderful to catch-up with a number of recipients of Round Eight of the former Coalition Government’s Stronger Communities Programme (SCP). In Cobar, I met up with members of the Cobar Pony Club, which received a $7499 grant to purchase a new lawnmower. This has made it much easier for local volunteers to keep the Pony Club grounds neat and tidy, for the safety of horses and riders. The Cobar Roosters Rugby League Club, was also awarded $11,500 to rebuild the ticket booth and refurbish the toilet block and change rooms. This has significantly improved the ground’s facilities, making it much more welcoming for the hundreds of rugby league fans who attend home games throughout the football season. Meanwhile, Menindee Charjointly supported by the Australian, state, and territory governments and also local government.

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton toured Maari Ma Health’s new Wilcannia Health and Wellbeing Centre, which will be officially opened this week. The former Federal Coalition Government, provided funding for the construction of this new purpose-built facility.
ities Incorporated, received $14,125 to replace the “Op Shop’s” old tile flooring, with new heavy duty-lino, which is safer and easier to clean, as well as paint the walls, so it now looks less like the butcher shop it once was, and more like a welcoming store. It’s these grants that allow groups like Menindee Charities to donate their profits to organisations that directly benefit locals, without having to dip into what little savings they have. In fact, while I was there, the volunteers donated $1000 to Menindee Health Service for upgraded beds, which wouldn’t have been possible, if they had to fund the store upgrades themselves.

I’M pleased that a new and expanded Orana Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) has been reached between the Federal Government and Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana. The Orana DAMA enables employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers in specified industries in our region that are currently experiencing critical skill and labour shortages. Previously covering just the Orana region, the DAMA has been expanded to include the Central West, Murray, Riverina and Southern Inland regions — a further 41 Local Government Areas — which now covers more than 60 per cent of NSW.

NEWS last week of job cuts to the Department of Regional NSW are a kick in the guts to every single resident living in the bush. The work the Department does is immeasurable in giving our local communities the voice they need and deserve. One of the proudest achievements of the former government was putting the people of regional NSW at the forefront of decision making by estab-
from 65 previously. This is very positive news for those businesses that are in desperate need of people to fi ll positions but were fi nding the original DAMA guidelines too specific to sponsor overseas workers. They’ll now have more flexibility to fi nd potential employees from overseas to fi ll the skills shortage that we’re experiencing throughout regional NSW. I have long been an advocate for the DAMA, because I believe that our regional areas, won’t reach their full potential while we’ve got positions vacant. One of the biggest issues currently facing our region is the labour shortage, with job vacancies across a range of different occupations, from hospitality and retail to trades and farmers, school teachers and medical professionals. I’m hopeful these changes, will bring more workers to our region to fi ll these vacancies. lishing a department to solely support them.

Sale of Dubbo livestock markets could hit our farmers’ hip pockets REGIONAL farmers could face another hit to their hip-pockets, if the proposed sale or lease of the Dubbo Regional Livestock Markets (DRLM) proceeds. Dubbo stock and station agent Paul Dakin from AWN Lord is concerned regional producers could be stung with fee increases of up to 100 per cent or more if the facility is privatised. “The sale or lease of the facility will only end in heartburn due to increased costs to cover the next layer of ownership or management,” Mr Dakin said.
“The privatisation of similar selling facilities in NSW had proven to cost stakeholders more to operate with the same outcomes,” he added. Mr Dakin questioned who or what might be driving this process and suggested ratepayers should be alarmed at the speed at which the process has been managed by the council. He said the DRLM was given to the Dubbo Regional Council unencumbered by the Talbragar Shire, and now generates a large economic benefit to the local community and ratepayers.
In the facility’s fi rst year of operation more than 60 years ago, it handled more than 9,300 cattle and 145,800 sheep. The most recent figures available show more than 1.1 million sheep and 156,000 cattle have gone through the facility, which ranks it third in NSW for sheep through-put, and fi rst in NSW and third in Australia for cattle throughput across all saleyards. Producers in the Central West region are being encouraged to approach council and elected representatives with their concerns on the proposed sale.
Homes NSW responds after vacant social housing fires
Narromine Producer, Stuart Boland, who sells in excess of 1,000 cattle each year at this facility, is alarmed and disappointed at the lack of engagement with stakeholders from the Dubbo Regional Council. He said had not received an invitation to engage with council about this decision as a stakeholder of the facility. “This is a decision which could affect the bottom line of producers like myself,” Mr Boland said. “Other centres in NSW have experienced the same shift to private management and their fees increased quite substan-

By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH the central west not immune to the national housing crisis, two fi res in vacant social housing properties in Narromine earlier this year have delayed making those properties available to local people in need. The fi res in the vacant properties in Duffy Street (early February) and Temoin Street (early March) reportedly caused tens of thousands of dollars’ damage. One of the properties may possibly have to be demolished. This is not good news for the Shire’s 40 applicant households that are listed on the NSW Housing Register, five of which are identified as priority applicants. “Homes NSW is incredibly disappointed to see recent acts of vandalism take place on vacant social housing properties at Narromine,” a spokesperson said. “These acts only hinder our efforts to restore or replace these homes for those who are desperately in need.”
Homes NSW reportedly has 81 social housing properties in the Narromine Shire, just three of which are vacant. More than 80 per cent of these properties are located in Narromine, with the remainder in Trangie. Homes NSW takes an average of 50 days to restore and re-let properties when they become vacant. The Homes NSW spokesperson told the Narromine Star the Department takes every effort to secure vacant properties between tenants. “We have an obligation to ensure when a social housing property becomes vacant, that it is made secure, which includes the use of external boarding of the premises or temporary fencing. “Despite these precautions, the risk of vandalism still exists,” the spokesperson said. Although the level of vandalism at social housing properties in the Narromine Shire is frustrating, it has not exceeded that of other locations, the spokesperson concluded.
“This is my local area but it could become unviable to sell stock at Dubbo in future.”
Council’s chief executive officer, Murray Wood, was recently quoted as saying the ongoing costs of the facility and maintenance had reached $5.15 million, but didn’t say whether it was running at a profit or loss, Mr Dakin said.
The concern follows Council recently advertising for expressions-of-interest in either buying or corporatising the facility.
Jobs Summit to help councils build sustainable workforces AN innovative jobs summit next month will tackle ongoing challenges in attracting and retaining staff in local government. Hosted by the Local Government NSW (LGNSW) on behalf of councils nationally, the inaugural Careers at Council Jobs Summit aims to provide an opportunity for councils to learn more about recent changes in the employment market. LGNSW President, Cr Darriea Turley AM, said the summit would enable council officers and staff to

tially,” he added.
share successful council practices that contribute to building a skilled and sustainable workforce. “We all know the difficulties and challenges that all councils are having with skills shortages and attracting and retaining staff,” Cr Turley said. “[Some] 91 per cent of local governments across Australia reported they had experienced skills shortages in 2021-22. Data from our HR Metrics survey of councils in 2022-23 found that the total staff turnover rate was 18 per
cent, which is above a generally healthy range of 9-12 per cent.” The summit will discuss models of flexibility that work for employees and employers, the impact of job redesign, and effective succession planning. It will also look to the future and the impact of AI on job roles and service delivery. “This is a crucial oneday event for local government and I strongly recommend all those with an interest in our sector to attend,” Cr Turley said.
What young people in NSW think WITH the start of NSW Youth Week, which runs from April 11-21 and themed ‘express, empower, get loud’, the Advocate for Children and Young People (ACYP) has unveiled new polling data highlighting what life is like for young people across the state. “Our recent polling data tells us that although the cost-of-living crisis is still the dominant concern amongst young people, friendships and community connection are essential for all young people’s sense of self and their sense of belonging and connectedness with others,” said Advocate Zoë Robinson. ACYP’s annual Youth Week polling survey suggests most young people feel comfortable expressing their true self in their every-day life. “Initiatives like Youth Week can fuel this sense of belonging and identity and serves as a platform for young people from all corners of the state to express, empower, and get loud,” Ms Robinson said. Key fi ndings from this year's Youth Week polling include: f Approximately 46 per cent of young people mentioned cost of living, unprompted, as the main issue young people in NSW
are facing today, up from 35 per cent in 2023. f 62 per cent said friendships are key influences on young people’s sense of identity. f Around two thirds (67 per cent) feel highly comfortable expressing their true selves in everyday life (rating 7 or higher out of 10). f Those who are not studying or working, or who live with a mental health concern or disability, are more likely to say they are not comfortable expressing their true selves in everyday life. f Only 25 per cent feel the NSW Government listens to young people and considers their opinions when making decisions. The Advocate is driven in her work by the perspectives and insights of children and young people throughout NSW. This feedback is then conveyed to government decision-makers, businesses and communities to shape policies and services that cater to the needs of children and youth. “ACYP is always eager to hear from young individuals across the state about the critical issues that impact them, along with their suggestions on how the government can show its support," she said.

What’s a ‘death doula’? Karen Hamilton on why she became one gy healing, mindfulness and meditation. Not everyone is open to this yet, but I feel it’s coming,” she said.
Karen Hamilton has become an end-of-life doula. PHOTOS: HARMONIOUS HEART.
This optimism has led Karen to collaborate with this journalist on a project to start meaningful conversations over a cuppa about life, loss and death in a supportive environment.
Karen also conducts meditation and mindfulness classes as part of her business.
By SHARON BONTHUYS KAREN Hamilton’s perennially sunny smile and happy disposition brightens every room she walks into, and every space she inhabits. Her calm manner, genuine warmth, and measured way of speaking puts people immediately at ease. It’s these personal qualities that the 53-year-old Narromine resident has taken into a new line of work in the health and wellness space that is helping locals improve the quality of their lives, including the end of their lives. Karen has become a ‘death (or end-of-life) doula’, adding end-of-life support and guid-
ance to the many other hats she wears in her business, Harmonious Heart. As well as helping terminally ill and elderly people and their loved ones navigate the end-of-life pathway, Karen is also a qualified meditation, mindfulness, sound bowl and Reiki practitioner who conducts classes in Narromine, Trangie and Dubbo. After a long career as a primary and early childhood teacher, Karen’s new journey began when she trained in and then began conducting meditation sessions locally in 2022 and later in Dubbo at the Western Cancer Centre. From this, Karen trained in the art of Reiki, or as she pre-
fers to call it, ‘energy healing.’ The end-of-life doula training then followed as Karen felt increasingly drawn to the field despite not knowing what she might do with it. “At the course, the teacher asked: ‘why are you here?’ I said, ‘To be honest, I don’t know, but I feel so drawn to it.’ “Right from the start I have felt really compelled to help people reduce their fear of death. Ultimately, that’s my core goal,” Karen said. She began an intensive course, during which she began to support her motherin-law Val through her fi nal months. Val, who had dementia and was aged in her 90s, passed away in August 2023.
“Having that experience from the fi rst part of the course, I just knew with all my heart that this was right for me,” Karen said. Val’s passing reinforced Karen’s belief that this type of support and guidance was needed in the community. “It was such a gift and an honour to be there for Val. It was really lovely seeing the difference in her and how it helped her pass. Just being mindful of the needs of someone at their end-of-life is so important,” she said. “I just created space to actually be there and be comfortable sitting with Val, doing the little bits and pieces she needed doing. Then I started doing energy healings on her and that just made the most incredible difference. She definitely knew I was there and that was really nice. “I think it also helps everyone around, too. The staff [at Val’s care facility in Dubbo] were curious. “I also loved that one of Val’s daughters who has been there to care for her mum for a long time, who’s also a nurse, could be there to see the healing.” This led to Karen being asked by another resident’s family to conduct an energy healing on their loved one. Karen is excited that people within and outside the health professions are more willing nowadays to look at different modalities for healing and wellness. “I do think it’s exciting that science is starting to prove the benefits of things like ener-
Modifying the internationally renowned “death cafe” concept, a worldwide practice which started in London and encourages a low-key catch up over a cuppa to talk about endof-life issues, the first meeting of the “Dead End Coffee Club” will take place in Narromine early next month. “I started thinking about a death cafe in Narromine last year and I was very excited that Sharon approached me and we’re doing this together. “It’s along the same lines as a death cafe but we decided not to call ours that. “It’s all about holding space for people to come and discuss death, or life, and everything in between,” she said. People are generally not comfortable talking about death and dying, and this is something Karen hopes to change locally over time. “We’re all going to die at some stage. I know grief is an individual thing and everyone’s experience is different and unique. “Our club is not a counselling service or group. It’s a welcoming space for people to come along and talk about anything they’d like to,” she said. Karen is looking forward to learning something from everyone who comes along to the catch up. She also hopes the concept will take off and encourage more people to explore end-of-life issues in a supportive space. For further details about the Dead End Coffee Club catch up, see classifieds.

BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS By REV. BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE
Glorifying Jesus Christ WHATEVER you do, whether in thought, word, or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17). Did you know that you can Glorify Jesus in all the normal things you do every day? Glorify means to point out
to someone or something else with your admiration or worship. When you eat, go to school or work, even brushing your teeth, you can glorify God. DOES THAT SOUND STRANGE? Jesus glorified God all the time. Jesus’ whole life pointed to God in heaven. Jesus prayed all the time. He talked about God all the time. He thanked God before meals. There’s no instance when Jesus was not glorifying God. It is more than possible to weave prayer and praise into everyday tasks. Doing things cheerfully, and without complaints, glorifies God. Thanking him for your food, your education, and all the things
we take for granted glorifies him too. No matter what you’re doing, you can praise God all day long. Even when you are doing things that are not exciting, like homework and those boring chores around the house, bring Jesus along with you. He so wants to be included. He really wants to help us with the things we do. And anything we do with his help shows off his glory most of all. Dear Friends, you can become imitators of Christians and of the Lord, for welcoming the Good News of Jesus Christ with joy given by the Holy Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 1:6). We have all noticed that little children love to imitate people. You’ll see them fixing their toy cars, cook-
ing with pretend food, or dressing up in their parent’s clothes and shoes. Maybe you even remember doing some or all these things when you were younger. Do you know why little ones do this? This is one way they learn. They learn by observing others and then copying them. The Thessalonians learned about Jesus by observing and imitating PAUL. We too can learn about Jesus by observing and imitating other Christians. We have great examples in the Bible, and we have great examples in the world today. We also have the greatest example of all: JESUS. We have easy access to the Bible, which tells us all about how Jesus acted and what he said. The
great news is that we do not have to fi nd the power within ourselves to copy Jesus; God gives us the power. We have the HOLY SPIRIT, who gives us strength, and we have the WORD OF GOD that guides our way. We can really live in the world and imitate Jesus. ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for the power we have in your SPIRIT and the direction you give in your WORD that help us to imitate you where we can. We want to follow the example that you set for us so that others may follow your amazing example in your Awesome Name we pray. AMEN. By THE REVEREND BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE, ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF BATHURST

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Banana toast By NARROMINE CWA TO prove that it’s possible to make even the simplest of recipes, we present to you this week’s guidance on how to make a quick, healthy snack… banana toast!
A NEW book about the history of rugby league in western and southern NSW holds a treasure trove of information – and Narromine is included! Stories from Narromine’s footy history spanning 50 years feature in the new book “Rugby League History: Western and Southern NSW 1920-1976” by Sydney author Greg Riach. Local rugby league legend, the late Bob Weir, and others who went on to representative honours during Narromine’s golden years, winning the Group 11 premiership six times between 1953 and 1976, fi nd their way into the recently published book. The Parkes-born author and TAFE teacher grew up playing rugby league at school but turned his attention to hockey, playing and coaching until the age of 31 and gaining the NSW State Hockey Umpires Badge. Mr Riach describes his journey to write a book about rugby league as “a labour of love” that began from exploring a relative’s personal connection with the game. “I researched the rugby league history of my brother-in-law, Dennis Finn, who played rugby league as a five-eighth in Group XI during the mid-60s through to the mid-70s,” Mr Riach told the Narromine Star. “[Dennis] played for Parkes, Canowindra and represented Group XI and Western Division, and was a gifted footballer who remained in the bush despite offers from Sydney rugby league clubs.” “Once I started delving into the game, it was an eye-opener to find out just how important it was to rural communities and how widespread it was. Almost every town in Western and Southern NSW had their own football team.” Rugby league has been an important part of the social fabric of rural communities including Forbes, Parkes, Eugowra, Oberon, Dubbo, Cobar, Narromine, Cootamundra, Temora and more, Mr Riach said. “I realised I had started a journey which made me feel I was there in the moment,” he added. “Bob Weir was one of the greatest country rugby league players who was selected to represent Western Division, Country Firsts and NSW teams,” he said, indicating the full stories of Narromine spanning 50 years of country rugby league can be found in his book. Copies of Mr Riach’s book, “Rugby League History Western and Southern NSW 1920-1976” are available at The Book Connection in Dubbo and from Amazon. For full details, see the advertisement on this page.
Ingredients: Two slices of bread Butter or margarine One ripe banana Cinnamon Method: Place the bread into the toaster and brown to your preferred setting. Do not burn the toast or it may set off a fire alarm and have the added bonus of ruining the
taste of your end product. While the toast is browning, slice the banana as desired. Apply butter or margarine to the toast (optional), then apply the sliced banana. Sprinkle cinnamon across the top of each slice of banana toast. Did you like this recipe? Follow us on social media for this and so much more!

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES DUBBO trainer Connie Greig and Muswellbrook based rider Leandro Ribeiro continued their dominance on the circuit when combining on Saturday to win the 1400 metres Lane Cove Legends/Doug Allen Memorial Grenfell Picnic Cup with Valadyium. Frau Holle and Namarari led the Cup field to the halfway point where Celtic Harp ($2.20 favourite) moved up wide to attack. Meanwhile, Ribeiro was

The first leg of a double for Connie Greig and Leandro Ribeiro was Better Judgement ($5.50) which led throughout from the outside barrier to defeat Alaskan Aura (Zara Lewis, $9) and Luscious (Madison Wright, $2.80) by over 4 lengths in the 1000 metres CL Commodities Grenfell Picnic Bracelet.

saw emergencies declared in some races, including the 1200 metres Terry Bros Furniture & Bedding Class 2 Trophy Handicap won by the Ashley Gibson, Gilgandra trained Foxstorm. In an exciting fi nish, Foxstorm (Zara Lewis, $8) came from well back to score by a short half head from Pahang (Dylan Parrott, $4.40) with a nose to the third placed Far Too Hot (Madison Wright, $3 equal fav.). Madison Wright had earlier brought the Neil Osborne, Canberra trained debut maker Ima Dubawi ($2.50 fav.) from midfield to win the 1000 metres Mawhood’s IGA Maiden Plate from Jet Missile (Dylan Parrott, $3) and Red Card Ro-

From the Moruya stables of Natalie Jarvis, Champ Profond ($2 favourite) was taken straight to the front by Madison Wright and romped home over 8 lengths ahead of The Drafter (Ricky Blewitt, $3.60) and Gifted Curves, Sebastian Galea, $6) in the 1400 metres McAlister Motors Class B Handicap. The innovative Grenfell Club staged the longest distance Picnic race in NSW and the 2150 metres O’Connors/Case IH Presidents Class 1 Trophy Cup Trophy Handicap resulted in an enthralling contest. Turning for home, Mayapple took a narrow lead from Ready For Lift Off, Radiant Glow and
Sham with Thetis making a move from last position.
Over the fi nal 300 metres Mayapple (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.80 fav.) and Thetis (Izzy Neale, $8) matched strides with Thetis eventually winning by a head while over five lengths away third was Radiant Glow (Zara Lewis, $3.80).
Thetis which won it’s fi rst race after 40 starts, is trained at Forbes by Peter Kirby who also trained the half-brother Hayne Plane to win five races, mainly over long distances.
Grenfell attracted a very good crowd and the unique array of prizes and bonuses was much appreciated by the owners, trainers and jockeys.
GOLF CLUB NOTES
Peter and Harding win weekend comps West Dubbo too strong for Narromine in the pennants By NORM LEWIS
By JOHN EDWARDS ROUND Two of the Pennants was played last Sunday, with Narromine hosting a strong West Dubbo side. Unfortunately, the home team couldn’t match it with the visitors, who eventually ran out convincing winners, 71 to 38. The game was fairly even midway through, but West Dubbo came home the strongest and put the cleaners through our guys. Narromine now make the trek to Parkes next Sunday in Round Three, and we could do with a bit of luck! After two losses, this leaves us in a precarious situation and we must win the remaining four games to be any chance of making it through to the play-offs. Social bowls results: Thursday had two games of triples played: Bill Wilkie, Danny Carnevale, and Duane Faro defeated Neil Harris, Robert French, and Greg Wright by 21-8. Col Hume, Bruce Powyer, and Dave McNair, defeated Noi Fitzgerald, Robbie Christof, and Peter Cross by 22-15. The Trophy winners were Duane’s team. Sunday morning, two games of pairs: Bill Wilkie and Richard Hyde defeated Neil Harris and Kerry Martin by 25-9. In the other game, Billy West and Mitch Rixon defeated Ross Wallace and Rod Old by 21-7, the ultimate winners being Wilkie and Richo. Stay tuned to the Noticeboard for what’s happening in the Club in the coming weeks. A bit of humour for the week — ‘Paddy is about to go through Customs at Denver International Airport, carrying two sacks over each shoulder. He’s asked to step aside so that Customs can check what’s inside the sacks. To their surprise, Customs fi nd loads of mobile phones. Customs: “Why do you have so many mobile phones?” Paddy: “Well, when I was on my travels across America, I received a phone call from me mate, Murphy, in Cork”. Murphy said he was starting a jazz band, and asked me to bring back two saxophones.” Until next week — good bowling and crack-a-jack!
FOLLOWING the postponement of the Three Rivers Cup Day last weekend, it was pretty quiet for Narromine golfers. Unfortunately, Warren was forced to pull out of the major event due to insufficient player numbers being able to make the trip. This popular event will be played at a later date that is convenient to both clubs. At home on Saturday, some 21 players turned up for an 18Hole Stableford event for a Club Trophy. The winner was Chris Peter with a fi ne round of 42 points with the
runner-up on the day Matt Brown 37 points (on a countback). Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) on the 10th was Chris Peter, while Russ Hunt won the Long Drive on the first. Matt Brown, back from a trip to New Zealand, collected the drawn Jackpot prize on the 17th hole. On Sunday, the event was a FourBall Multiplier over 18 holes for trophies from Scott White Spraying. The winning combination was Tony Harding and Tony Mann with a score of 74 points. Runners-up were Alan Mann and Des Weir on 68 points. NTP winners were James O’Con-

nor on the ninth and Rob Williams on the 10th, while Tony Harding won the Long Drive. The drawn Jackpot was also won by Tony (a big day for “Boy George”). Some Veterans Open Tournaments have also been played, with the Club represented by Chris Peter and Ash Bullock at Dunedoo, Binnaway, and Coonabarabran, with results on the Vets Noticeboard. This weekend, the Nyngan Vets Open is on, so let me know if you are going so he may let Nyngan know for catering purposes That’s all for this week — See you at the 19th!

McCalman Winter Comp wins the Nancy tees off Elrington Memorial Trophy By NORM LEWIS
By DALE HARDING ONLY a small field turned up to play the second round of the Nancy Elrington Memorial Trophy. Six ladies played 18 holes, with Carol McCalman winning with 32 Stableford points. Michelle Ashdown won a golf ball with 30 points. Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) on the 17th was won by Gail White and Betty Berryman won the drawn card. The nine-hole competition was won by Anne Harmer, who also won the trophy donated by Bev Woods, with 14 points. Bev won the NTP on the ninth and Marj Kelly won the drawn card. The Nancy Elrington Memorial Trophy is a 36-hole event played over two days with a trophy donated by the Elrington family, which is presented at our Presentation Night. Carol McCalman was the winner for this event with a total of 60 stableford points, and Betty Berryman was runner-up with 59 points. Yesterday the Ladies played for the WDLGA stableford event, with a trophy donated by Vicki Gainsford. This weekend is the fi rst round of the monthly medal. Hope to see you on the course!
THE fi rst of the Gerries’ Winter Wednesday competitions was played last week with a field of 11 players in attendance. The weather was fi ne and the course played well despite the recent rain. Competition was pretty keen with a tie for fi rst place on 23 points between Ron Green and Phil White. As is usual, a countback was needed to decide the winner, who was Ron Green. There was no winner in the Nearest-the-Pin event. The NAGA event also ended in a tie between Ross Smith, Mal Fraser, and Gus Smith on 15 points and Ross was declared the winner on a countback. All in all it was a pleasant afternoon’s golf. Our weekly comp was played on Wednesday, April 17, with the results to be listed in the Narromine Star next week. All players are reminded the Gerries’ Comp will be played each Wednesday during the winter months with the hit-off late in the afternoon or until notified otherwise. There are a number of Gerries golfers who are also members of the Veterans Club. The next WDVGA Open Comp will be played at Nyngan over 18 holes this weekend, good luck to all. That’s all for this week — see you at the 19th.

Footy’s back: Castlereagh League Youth Knockout event By BRYSON LUFF THE much anticipated 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League season got underway last weekend with the annual Youth League and League Tag Knockouts at Coonabarabran on Saturday. With two fields in action, a combined total of 24 games were played in front of a sizeable crowd which enjoyed the action. The Binnaway Bombshells gained some degree of revenge for their narrow 2023 Youth League grand final loss to the Narromine Jets, when they over-ran the red and whites in the final to the tune of 24-4, much to the delight of the Binnaway faithful. In the League Tag, the Dunedoo Swannettes and the Narromine Jets again showed their class by making it to the final and, in another 2023 grand final replay the Jets, after a quality game, again prevailed with a hardfought and entertaining 6-0 victory to claim the Knockout Shield. Attention now swings to the First Grade rugby league knockout next Saturday, which will be hosted by the Coolah Kangaroos in what is their comeback year to the Castlereagh League competition, after being in recess for a number of years. The fi rst game at Coolah will kick off just before lunch with that game featuring the Roos up against last year’s premiers and Clayton Cup winners, the Gulgong Terriers. Scores from the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League League Tag and Youth League Knockouts, which were played at Coonabarabran on Saturday were:
