Uncertainty as Rex Airlines enters administration By SHARON BONTHUYS SHOCKWAVES rippled across the country earlier this week at the surprise news that Rex Airlines - and other subsidiaries of Regional Express Holdings Limited, known commonly as The Rex Group - has entered voluntary administration. In a statement released on July 30, the Rex Group indicated that only the company’s domestic routes between major cities serviced by its fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft were impacted at this stage, with all 737 fl ights grounded. The statement said that its regional Saab 340 fl ights will continue to operate. “Pre-paid ticket-holders will continue to have their tickets honoured by the Rex Group on regional routes,” the statement added. How long this guarantee will remain in place for regional ticket-holders, however, is unknown at this time, with competitor, Virgin Australia, offering Rex customers a lifeline. “Rex and Virgin Australia are also exploring opportunities to support regional customers, which include Virgin Australia selling Rex’s regional services through codeshare or interline arrangements, and making Velocity Frequent Flyer benefits available to Rex’s regional customers,” the statement indicated.

Put your hands up to help parkrun By SHARON BONTHUYS DESPITE the lingering bad weather last Saturday, and thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, Narromine Wetlands parkrun clocked up its 204th event at the picturesque location on Narromine’s southern outskirts. Parkrun enthusiasts and visitors enjoy free fitness and fun in the great outdoors every week because of the efforts of these volunteers. Some 15 participants completed the five-kilometre course in the difficult weather conditions, in times ranging from 22 to 47 minutes. Two of them were volunteers carrying out an important duty: they were “tailwalkers” following the field around the course and coming home last, subsequently recording the longest participant times. Another six volunteers carried out roles behind the scenes needed for parkrun to be able to take place, including things like barcode scanning, timekeeping, and so on.

More volunteers needed NARROMINE Wetlands parkrun spokesperson, Wayne Coleman, said it is becoming increasingly difficult to stage the free weekly ﬁtness event

due to a lack of volunteers. Regular call-outs on social media ask people to put their hands up to volunteer, to make sure the Saturday runs around the Narromine Wetlands can go ahead. “Like any organisation, we’re reliant on volunteers and we struggle to get volunteers,” Mr Coleman said. “Few want to put their hands up, it seems,” he added. The Narromine group has between 80–100 registered participants, but only about 20 per cent of those are active, Mr Coleman said. A core group of eight to 10 people generally volunteer to help run the event. Some volunteers like his wife, Wendy, had done more than their fair share, he added. “My wife has volunteered at parkrun over 100 times.” Mr Coleman said the Narromine group is determined to soldier-on, despite the difﬁculties sometimes presented when they are unable to get their quota of volunteers. “We’ve never cancelled our parkrun due to the lack of volunteers,” he added, indicating that sometimes the volunteers had to “double-up” and take more than one role to keep the event going. This is not ideal as some roles simply cannot take on other duties. Continued page 6

By SHARON BONTHUYS SUPPORTING the students of the region was high on the agenda for delegates from seven branches of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) NSW Far Western Group (FWG), who met in Trangie last weekend. The highly-regarded CWA Public Speaking Competition and available grants and scholarships for local students were discussed at the quarterly gathering, which was attended by representatives from Warren, Trangie, Narromine, Nyngan, Enngonia, Hermidale, and Cobar. Branches will explore options to improve high school participation in the CWA Public Speaking Competition in the future, inspired by the success of Isaac Ford in winning the Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition in Sydney in May.

At the meeting, Colleen Boucher (OAM) from Cobar was also congratulated on her King’s Birthday Honour, as was Kristyne Rybak from Narromine who has been appointed to the CWA NSW State Cookery Committee. The Far Western Group is one of 30 in CWA NSW that meets quarterly to coordinate activities and hear reports from the State Executive and Group officers. With the 11-branch FWG stretching across the second largest CWA geographical area in the state, it’s no mean feat to physically attend these quarterly gatherings to discuss a range of issues of interest to country women.

At this meet, it was Trangie’s turn to host this quarterly meeting, and members congratulated the branch on its excellent and very comfortable “Nurture” co-working space, perfect for the type of meeting being held. The branch also catered a delicious lunch and snacks for those who made the trek. Forthcoming CWA events in the Central West NSW may be of interest to the local community. Tottenham CWA (not part of FWG) is hosting an event this weekend featuring a visiting author, and Warren CWA has a French-inspired International Day Luncheon taking place next Friday.

Narromine Cottage Craft supports cottage industry of local artisans

Just some of the handmade items for sale. Faye is one of many volunteers who help keep Narromine Cottage Craft open to the public. Come in and say “hi!” PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. By SHARON BONTHUYS

Need anything for baby? This is the place to come.

IF you haven’t stepped inside the Narromine Cottage Craft shop lately, you’ve missed the opportunity to see the latest offerings from a broad range of local artisans. The volunteer-run shop at the junction of Dandaloo and Burroway Streets is bursting with the creative talents of many people who quietly ply their craft. Locally made jams, chutneys and pickles are displayed on shelves near a range of freshly made cakes and slices. Volunteer Sandy told the Narromine Star the slices were particularly popular with shoppers. “I’ve sold half a dozen slices this morning,” she said. “The cakes are also popular for morning teas,” she added. The strawberry and rhu-

barb jam is also a favourite of some of the volunteers who help keep the store running through the year. Beautifully handcrafted items of clothing including jumpers, hats, and shawls are nestled beside locally made jewellery, handbags, bird boxes and feeders, and an array of potted plants, pottery and ceramics. Handmade items for the kitchen are also popular sellers, Sandy said, pointing to a range of embroidered tea towels and pot holders. The shop also stocks a quality range of candles, melts and diffuser products that will brighten and freshen every home. “We do sell a lot of tea towels!” she said. The work of Trangie writer and poet Maggie May Gordon is also on display in the store, capturing in words the vivid images of rural and country

life, as well as her books written speciﬁcally for children. With children in mind, Narromine Cottage Craft is also the place to go if you’re looking for beautifully-made baby clothes and items for the home nursery such as cot blankets or quilts. The level of detail in the knitted jumpers for toddlers is quite amazing. Young ones will be warm as well as stylish this winter. The volunteers who run the craft shop are happy to help with suggestions for gifts if needed, said volunteer Faye. “Every day is a sale!” she added. The store is an Aladdin’s treasure-trove just waiting to be re-discovered by locals who haven’t been in for a while, as well as those passing through. For more details, see the advertisement on this page.

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH Loyalty is… AS Australians, we tend to be hardwired to “go with the flow” and not “rock the boat”. And so in church last week, in our series on the book of John, we came to look at who we may be following. For those who align with the verse from Proverbs, 2:6 — “The Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.” Then our sermon spoke about how the people began following Jesus in John, Chapter 12. He was riding into town, Jerusalem, as the people called out to Him as their King. But Jesus seems to encourage people to swim against the flow, openly stand up and speak out for truth. Today, as back then, this can be unpopular, or even viewed by society as “Un-Australian”. One of the significant features of Jesus’ teaching ministry, especially in the “Sermon on the Mount” in Mat-

Jesus said: “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (Matthew 5:13). In Jesus’ day, the purpose of salt was to stop things going rotten as well as to add ﬂavour. The life of Daniel as recorded in the Bible tells us of his unwavering faith, how he kept being “salty”. He shone brightly, even in the dark times, as he resided in Babylon during the tumultuous years of captivity there. Daniel’s life narrative is adorned with remarkable tales, including the incredible night spent with the lions, and his divine visions that continue to stir hearts and encourage people today. The drama of the “writing on the wall” at the King’s banquet in Chapter 5,has made that phrase a proverbial part of our language to this day. We will glean profound insights from Daniel’s experiences, which take place over a 40-year period between 605 BC and 536 BC. He would’ve been a teenager when the events of the captivity started to begin, and about 80 years old when the visions of Chapters 9-12 took place. His story inspires us to hold fast to

ensure an appropriate balance between the opportunities, risks, and challenges presented by AI.

Daniel’s success is attributed to his integrity of character, his prophetic gifts, and God’s interventions that resulted in his rapid advancement to places of prominence and responsibility. Along with Daniel’s companions, who at one stage were placed in a ﬁery furnace, they openly stood up and spoke out for the truth. In a world consumed by the pursuit of earthly wisdom and ﬂeeting pleasures, they remained steadfast in their following of God. Here’s a summary of all this from the Book of Daniel, Chapter 6:3 ( English Standard Version). “Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.” He may have been a prisoner in Babylon, but he was loyal to God. In a world where loyalties often shift with the wind, Daniel stood firm. His loyalty was unwavering in a sea of uncertainty. In our world today, the pull of the tide is just as strong. We, like Daniel, may face seemingly insurmountable challenges. But Daniel’s life serves as a testament to the importance of loyalty, and affirming that, despite adversities, the kingdom of God will triumph. By PHILIP HAND

Smith Family says “thanks” By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Smith Family has thanked the community for supporting its recent Winter Appeal, helping Australia’s largest education charity to exceed its fundraising target of $7.2 million by $300,000. The well known non-proﬁt group helps young people experiencing disadvantage to break the cycle of poverty through education, including almost 2000 in Central West NSW. “In the Central West, we support 1842 students in 39 different partner schools across communities in regional hubs at Bathurst, Orange and Dubbo through our Learning for Life scholarship,” a Smith Family spokesperson said. The scholarship program covers the cost of many school essentials that disadvantaged families may struggle to obtain, including bags, uniforms, books, and shoes. “[It also includes] digital devices like laptops, and excursions, while also providing extra tailored learning and mentoring support,” the spokesperson added. The Smith Family also provides a range of evidence-based out-of-school programs including Learning Club, a peer reading program called Student2Student, careers education programs through the federally-funded Growing Careers Project, and money management programs such as Saver Plus. “Each year funds from our Winter Appeal go to supporting more students across our 800 partner schools nationally, with access to these programs,” the spokesperson explained. “Of those 17,000 students targeted in this year’s appeal, more than 7000 students will come from schools The Smith Family partners with in NSW alone.” The spokesperson said the organisation works in more than 90 of Australia’s most disadvantaged communities, and is supported by sister organisation VIEW, which sponsors Learning for Life Scholarship students and the Digital Learning Essentials program. “While we don’t have a dedicated VIEW Club in Narromine, plenty of surrounding communities including Parkes, Forbes, Nyngan, Cobar and Dubbo all have active VIEW Clubs that help support the work of The Smith Family,” the spokesperson concluded.

No bones about it: death discussed over a cuppa By SHARON BONTHUYS FROM the moment we take our ﬁ rst breath, we’re on a path that will eventually lead to us taking our last breath. What happens in between is called “life”. Talking about death — and the fact we will all someday die — is something most of us will never do willingly or openly. It’s one of the things that Karen “Kaz” Hamilton and this journalist (collectively known as Kaz ‘n Shaz) want to change through the death literacy advocacy work of our newly formed group, the “Dead End Coffee Club”. 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 Dead End Coffee Club ﬁ rst met in Narromine in May this year. This week, the club meets for the fourth time, and will hold a special “Thanksgiving and Healing Mourning Tea” remembering loved ones lost. The event will provide a safe space in which to remember, to grieve, to think, and to share about loved ones no longer with us, as well as a chance to heal.

Why talk about death? “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,” Kaz said. “We decided not to call our club a ‘death cafe’ though. We’ve called it something a bit light-hearted,” she added. “It’s all about holding space for people to come and discuss death, or life, and everything in between.” From small beginnings, the Dead End Coffee Club has developed a ﬂuid following, with

attendances at the monthly coffee catch-ups ranging from six through to 12 or more. Everyone attending has experienced loss and grief. Attendees want to know more about end-of-life matters, things to think about now while they are still here, and some are plainly curious about why we want to talk about death. Kaz is a breast cancer survivor and qualiﬁed end-of-life “doula” (non-medical companion) who is also a qualiﬁed meditation, mindfulness, “sound bowl” and Reiki practitioner. She works with people receiving palliative care as they approach the end of their lives. For this journalist, it’s about navigating life with what’s

called “anticipatory grief”. The thought that I might outlive my severely unwell 27-year-old daughter prompted discussions with her last Christmas about end-of-life issues, and she was surprisingly open to talking about it. Being able to talk with our loved ones and others about end-of-life issues has brought Kaz and I great personal relief and a sense of calmness. While we are not qualiﬁed grief or loss counsellors, we do try to ensure we have a range of resources available at each meeting for grieving attendees to take away with them. We have also been able to determine locally available support pathways for people who may need assistance. Guest speakers will also at-

tend periodically to talk about different end of life issues. Libby Williams from Lifeline attended last month’s coffee catch-up at the Imperial Hotel cafe in Narromine.

“Dying To Know Day” THE Dead End Coffee Club’s Thanksgiving and Healing Mourning Tea is our contribution to the growing movement known as “Dying To Know Day” (DTKD) in Australia. Observed on August 8 each year, DTKD has become a year-round promotion of death literacy advocacy around the country. DTKD initially came from the work of The Groundswell Project Australia co-founder, Dr Kerrie Noonan, and Nicole

Endacott, author of Dying to Know — bringing death to life created by Igniting Change. Proveda merged with The Groundswell Project in 2021 and now promotes the concept as part of its compassionate care work. Former CEO of The Groundswell Project, Jessie Williams, is now Manager Community Programs with Proveda and is thrilled the movement has come so far. “I was at the launch of Dying To Know Day 13 years ago. It started with a small gathering in Sydney late one night in Darlinghurst. We had some doulas, some funeral directors, and palliative care people there. We really didn’t know where it was going to go,” she said. “We just knew we had to give death a day, and put out a really big, courageous, bold invitation to other people across the country to gather people in their local communities as part of this campaign,” Ms Williams explained. Last year, the movement came to Parliament House when NSW Seniors Minister, Jodie Harrison, hosted a Dying to Know Day event there. DTKD events this year include a “Good2Go Festival” in Wangaratta, exploring death through a series of gatherings, death cafes, ﬁ lm screenings and more. In Darwin, people will explore terms like “pushing-up daisies”, and “kick the bucket” and more, at the “Leaving Euphemisms for Dead” event. A “Swedish Death Cleaning Workshop” will also take place in Albany, Western Australia. The Dead End Coffee Club’s DTKD event is this Friday, August 2 in Narromine. For details, see Classiﬁeds. You can also follow our club on social media, and we’d love you to join us for a cuppa and a chat at our monthly catch-ups.

Focus on Volunteers

Put your hands up to help parkrun From page 1 One such position is the Run Director, whose attention needs to be across many areas for the duration of the event, and may need to be available to operate a deﬁbrillator in a health emergency, he said. What happens if there aren’t enough volunteers to stage the weekly parkruns on a regular basis, the Narromine Star asked. “Merriwa parkrun closed down because it couldn’t get volunteers,” Mr Coleman responded.

Common concerns VOLUNTEERING concerns are common across the worldwide fitness phenomenon that is parkrun. A study published in the May 2020 Journal of Nonprofit and Public Sector Marketing, suggested while people appreciated parkrun, things like competitiveness, rewards-influenced “gamification”, and a desire to compete due to parkrun “addiction” overrode the sense of obligation to assist or volunteer with the event. “Despite large numbers

of parkrunners, and an ethos encouraging occasional volunteering, some parkrunners do not volunteer which can lead to recruitment difficulties for events,” stated the paper, authored by Rachel Hallett and others, titled Everyone Should Muck In. Another study by Steve Haake and others, published in February 2022 by PLOS Global Public Health, focused speciﬁcally on the health beneﬁts of those who volunteered exclusively at parkruns. It found more than 50 per cent of parkrun volunteers were females aged more than 55 years, and about one quarter of volunteers chose to do so to help others and be part of their community. Mr Coleman encourages community members to get out and enjoy the free weekly parkrun, but also to take the time occasionally to volunteer so that others who would normally do that can also enjoy participating. “No job is difficult, and it’s almost impossible to make a mistake that can’t be resolved,” he concluded.

Despite the bad weather giving way to a grey day, 15 locals completed the 204th parkrun at the Narromine Wetlands last Saturday. PHOTOS: NARROMINE WETLANDS PARKRUN SOCIAL MEDIA.

Congratulations and good luck to all the local athletes who will be putting on the green and gold to represent Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics! The Parkes electorate will be cheering you on! Go Aussies!

Jennifer and Ellie win NSW Farmers Tertiary Scholarships By NICHOLAS CROKER TWO local women have received vital financial support to help with their careers through the NSW Farmers Tertiary Scholarships program. Jennifer Corderoy from Narromine received the John White Memorial Scholarship, and Ellie Peart from Gulargambone won the Alan Chapman Memorial Scholarship. Each year, NSW Farmers awards five tertiary scholarships to regional students, supporting their university and vocational training in fields relevant to regional and rural NSW. Successful applicants were announced at the start of July, and awarded as part of the NSW Farmers Annual Conference held from Monday, July 22 to Thursday, July 25. In her studies, Jennifer is a Rural Science scholar interested in pursuing a career in agriculture within the region. She hopes to use the funds from her scholarship to pursue work experience opportunities around NSW, with a particular focus on working in a variety of cotton valleys. According to Jennifer, agriculture has been a part of her life since she was young, and it’s a career she has always found herself drawn towards. To her, working in agriculture is more than a job, it’s also a lifestyle. “Receiving a scholarship from NSW Farmers has provided me with the necessary

funds to do further work experience while I study, applying my textbooks to the ﬁeld and learning much more on-thejob,” Jennifer said. “Ag is really learnt on the job and that’s reﬂected in this scholarship. I want to get experience to supplement my learning,” she added. Her studies, she adds, are for a subject and region close to her heart. “I’m from the central west

in cotton… I’m hoping to get some experience in different cotton valleys. My scholarship will cover my travel costs such as accommodation and transport,” Jennifer said. “The support by NSW Farmers… and to the community that has supported me… has put me in a position to now one day be able to help someone else get a start in the industry, and I think that’s crucial to building our farming com-

munities and getting more involved in ag careers.” Ellie, meanwhile, is a second-year Nursing student who hopes to support rural communities through her vocation. Like Jennifer, she plans to use her scholarship to fund travel fees to support work experience. In the coming months, Ellie is looking forward to a Nursing placement at Lightning Ridge. “Rural community is made

of more than just farmers. This year there was another VET recipient, and there have been health recipients in the past,” ” Ellie said. “I think its amazing that [NSW Farmers] are able to give scholarships to such a wide range of students,” she added. Ellie chose nursing as a career because of her passion to meet people and help others, especially in the rural communities she grew up in. This was Ellie’s ﬁ rst involvement with NSW Farmers, but now she says she is eager to continue her membership into the future. Each recipient of the NSW Farmers Tertiary Scholarship also received a year-long membership with NSW Young Farmers for networking opportunities, which both Jennifer and Ellie say they are very grateful for. NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee Chair, Deb Charlton, said that this year’s recipients have all shown great potential in their chosen ﬁelds. “These students have shown a clear commitment to their studies, and I have no doubt each and every one of our recipients has the potential to make a real difference within regional communities through their chosen career,” Ms Charlton said. “As an industry body, we have a responsibility to open doors and provide opportunities for the talented next generation coming through,” she concluded.

“Check My Device” tool launched as 3G network shutdown approaches A FEW weeks from now, Telstra and Optus will begin to close off their national 3G networks as the majority of modern mobile network usage now is using 4G and 5G networks, where data speeds are much faster. 3G networks around the world are closing as customers move to these newer networks. Telstra will close its 3G network on August 31 and Optus begins its shutdown from September. This network closure will impact anyone still using a 3G device. The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) urgently warns all Australians to act now and upgrade their 3G mobile device if they have not yet done so.

Last month, AMTA launched a new web-based tool, “Check my Device” to help Australians determine if their mobile device will be fully supported on local mobile networks after 3G networks close, including the ability to make emergency calls to Triple Zero. AMTA’s CEO, Louise Hyland, said it is important that Australians act now and not delay, especially if people have an older mobile device that connects to a 3G network, and they have not already upgraded. “Devices that use the 3G network for voice services will not be able to make any calls, including emergency calls to Triple 0, once Australia’s 3G networks are fully inactive,” she said. “The telco industry does

not want to leave anyone behind and that is why we are working hard to ensure customers, particularly in regional areas, are not left without a working service,” Ms Hyland added. The Check my Device tool can be accessed from the AMTA website. The tool uses a mobile phone’s IMEI number, a unique 15-digit International Mobile Equipment Identity number, which identiﬁes the make and model of the mobile device, to determine if it will be supported on all three Australian mobile networks once 3G closes. If needed, get in touch with your service provider to find an upgrade solution that suits your circumstances, Ms Hyland concluded.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

New rest stops ADEQUATE rest stops along long stretches of highway in the bush, are so important, which is why I’m pleased that the Australian and NSW Governments are jointly-funding an upgrade to a rest stop on the Kamilaroi Highway between Walgett and Brewarrina. The $1.75 million upgrade to Yambie Lagoon Rest Area, about 60-kilometres east of Brewarrina, will involve building toilet and shelter facilities as well as picnic tables and parking for heavy and light vehicles on both the eastbound and westbound shoulders. This will provide truck drivers, tourists, and all road-users with the opportunity to stop along this remote stretch of highway, helping to reduce driver fatigue and ensure they arrive at their destination safely. I’m also excited that work has started on the new heavy vehicle rest area about 12-kilometres north of Narrabri on the Newell Highway. The new rest area will feature eight heavy vehicle parking spaces for short and long-term parking, 10 light vehicle and caravan parking spaces for short-term parking, accessible toilet facilities, a picnic shelter and solar lighting, rubbish bins, and tree planting and landscaping.

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo

DPI absorbed

This is part of the $261 million Newell Highway Heavy Duty Pavement Upgrade project, was funded by the former Coalition Federal and NSW Governments.

Glyphosate ruling a win for farmers I WELCOME the Federal Court’s recent ruling that glyphosate does not cause cancer. The class action against Roundup companies Monsanto and Bayer, claimed exposure to glyphosate caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, following a lengthy trial, Justice Michael Lee said the plaintiffs failed to prove the chemical causes cancer. This will be welcome news for farmers across Australia, as glyphosate is one of the most commonly-used products to combat weeds. It allows farmers to be more productive and sustainable through no or minimal till farming, which protects soil structure, moisture and nutrients, and ultimately increases the storage of soil carbon. I personally saw a huge change in the health of the soil on my property as a result of using glyphosate, and was able to retain important topsoil that would otherwise be lost. Glyphosate is integral to the Australian farming landscape and, if farmers are to continue to be the efficient, innovative, and productive operators that they are today, glyphosate must play a leading part in that.

Bangladesh conflict THE Parkes electorate has a large Bangladeshi community, particularly in Dubbo, and I stand by them in calling for I HAD the opportunity to attend and speak at the NSW Farmers Conference last week, where I focused on the need to make the Department of Primary Industries its own business unit again. It’s been completely absorbed by a new Department after Labor’s functional review and, what’s worse, is it’s being coordinated by the Premier’s Office in Sydney.

More than 150 people have died as a result of escalating unrest and violence following anti-government protests that began at university campuses in response to the Government’s job quota system. I’ve been approached by members of the Bangladeshi community in my electorate who are very concerned about the situation unfolding in their home country. A nationwide communications blackout has meant That completely misses the point, because having people who live and work in the regions and supporting the regions, is crucial to giving our communities the voice they need and deserve. We need to stand up for farmers properly and I will reverse these changes if the Liberals and Nationals are re-elected in 2027.

2024 Local Government Elections

Votes needed to get elected to Council By SHARON BONTHUYS DID you know that you need just over 500 votes to be elected to Narromine Shire Council in September? This was one of the fascinating snippets shared in the online briefing session for candidates in the Narromine Shire held last week. Peter Tegart from Local Government NSW led several prospective candidates through the process in an informative evening webinar, which the Narromine Star joined as an observer. Candidates were surprised to learn that it’s not a matter of scoring the most votes to get elected, they just have to receive enough votes. This is because the local government elections use a proportional voting system, or “quota voting system” to elect candidates, Mr Tegart explained. A slide shared during Mr Tegart’s presentation outlined this process. “To be elected, a candidate

must get a ‘quota’ of the formal vote. A quota = total number of formal votes divided by the number of vacancies + 1,” the slide indicated, giving an example of how this works. “During the count, votes are distributed according to the choices made by the voter on the ballot paper. When candidates reach a quota and are elected, any surplus votes (that is, extra votes over the quota) are distributed to remaining candidates. The count continues until all vacancies are ﬁ lled,” the slide explained. Narromine Shire electors reside in the areas of Bundemar, Burroway, Dandaloo, Gin Gin, Narromine, Tomingley, Trangie, and everywhere in between covered across the postcodes 2823, 2821, and 2869. With an estimated 4730 electors in the Narromine Shire according to the NSWEC, and nine councillor positions up for election, this quota method would see each candidate require about 525 + 1 votes to be elected. If you’re still a bit confused

about how this works, the NSWEC website explains the proportional or quota voting system in more detail. The proportional representation system is also described in Schedule Five of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021.

After the election is held, results will be published on the NSWEC website as soon as they become available.

Following the local government election, at the ﬁ rst meeting of the council that follows, a Mayoral election will be held to determine which councillor takes that position.

Mr Tegart’s presentation was extremely detailed and covered a wide range of topics for potential local candidates to consider.

The NSWEC website also has a series of recorded webinars that are available to assist candidates with the process of participating in the election.

Vandalised railway rollingstock gone

A bit of history is in this scrap metal near the Qube silos at Narromine.

By SHARON BONTHUYS QUBE Agri has made good on its commitment to remove the vandalised railway rollingstock left on a siding near its silos at Narromine. The items had been severely vandalised over time and were a visual eyesore. A company spokesperson told the Narromine Star back in

April that the old rollingstock — including a damaged, vandalised carriage and tanker cart — would be removed and scrapped. A perimeter fence damaged from previous vandalism is all that remains at the site, allowing unauthorised access to the ARTC-managed rail corridor. An update has been sought from ARTC in relation to the fence.

Regional, State & National news

Uncertainty as Rex Airlines enters administration Domestic growth and regional cuts

Regional routes are said not to be impacted by The Rex Group entering voluntary administration this week. PHOTO: REX AIRLINES. From page 1 The Rex Group also announced that eligible customers on 13 domestic routes overlapping those serviced by Virgin Australia would be re-accommodated on those ﬂ ights as close as practicable to their original time of travel, where possible.

Rex’s regional significance THE organisation that was born in the bush and has as its tagline “Our Heart is in the Country” provides the primary commercial aviation services to many re-

gional locations across the country. If those services were lost to regional communities, the impacts would be catastrophic. Dubbo is one of the 47 regional locations currently serviced by Rex Airlines. NSW Nationals leader and state member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, was quick to comment on the shock announcement. “The recent news around Rex Airlines is very concerning to anyone who lives or works in regional NSW,” Mr Saunders posted to social media.

“Not only is the carrier crucial to the 2.5 million people that use it every year, but it has also played a role in freight and medical transport,” he added. “I’ll be watching any developments closely in the coming days, but the state and federal Labor governments need to make sure our regional communities won’t be left stranded by this situation,” Mr Saunders concluded.

IT has been an “interesting” year for The Rex Group so far, expanding domestic services to major urban centres across Australia while prolonging some regional network reductions that were implemented in various stages in 2023. These reductions were blamed on “continuing dislocated supply chains post-COVID” that reportedly impacted the provision of aircraft engine spare parts. The existing regional network reductions were set to continue through until October 27, according to a company statement released on February 2. “Rex is committed to the rebuilding of its regional network, and intends to return to the standard fl ight schedules from October 27, 2024, subject to the situation improving,” Rex’s general manager of network strategy, Warrick Lodge, explained at that time. Just five-weeks-ago, ahead of its fi rst domestic fl ights to Perth from Melbourne and Adelaide, the company also boasted it had “toppled both Qantas and Virgin to be the most-reliable major airline in Australia” according to figures at that time. “We are excited to be bringing our jets to Perth, and cannot wait for passengers on our new services to WA to experience the country style hospitality Rex is famous

for,” Rex chairman - and former federal transport and regional development minister - John Sharp AM said in a statement in late June. “Every time Rex enters a new domestic market, there has been downward pressure on airfares, so our message to Australians is, if you want competition, all you have to do is support it.”

What else is impacted?

THE Rex subsidiaries impacted by the voluntary administration, which will be managed by Ernst and Young Australia, include Regional Express Holdings Limited, Regional Express Pty Limited, Rex Airlines Pty Ltd, Rex Investment Holdings Pty Limited, and Air Partners Pty Ltd. It is unknown at this stage if the administration will also apply to wholly-owned Rex subsidiaries Pel-Air Aviation, which provides air freight, aeromedical and charter operations, the Australian Airline Pilot Academy, which has campuses in Wagga Wagga and Ballarat, and propeller maintenance provider, Australian Aerospace Propeller Maintenance. Rex is also a 50 per cent shareholder of premier ﬂy-inﬂy-out charter and freight operator, National Jet Express. None of these organisations were listed in the schedule of subsidiaries impacted by the voluntary administration.

Bush revival promised if Nats are re-elected NSW Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders has vowed to make the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) its own separate business unit again if the Coalition is re-elected in 2027. Addressing the NSW Farmers Conference last Wednesday, Mr Saunders warned that the DPI is being watered down after the agency was completely absorbed by the Department of Regional NSW (DRNSW). Mr Saunders labelled the changes made under Labor’s functional review as unfair, unreasonable, and unnecessary. “DPI needs autonomy, and we have shown that’s what works best, as we go through the cycle of droughts, floods, fires and major biosecurity outbreaks,” Mr Saunders said. “It’s my main priority to stand up for our farmers, and that won’t happen with DPI in its current

form, so we will make that change,” he added. Mr Saunders has been very critical of the fact that the new DRNSW ministry is being coordinated through the Premier’s office in Sydney, saying managing the bush from the city “misses the point.” “Having people who live and work in the regions — supporting the regions — is crucial to giving our communities the voice they need and deserve,” he concluded. Mr Saunders also raised concerns over changes to Local Land Services (LLS), which he said is also being downsized. He also called for balance in relation to the Government’s biodiversity plan, warning against increasing restrictions to the existing Land Management Native Vegetation Codes, which allow farmers to have a say when it comes to their own land.

By NARROMINE HIGH SCHOOL NARROMINE High School’s School Vice-Captain and NASCA student, Tairae Darcy, recently created an Indigenous t-shirt design for her Year 12 Major Aboriginal Studies project. Her design follows the story of thriving on Country, and represents her educational journey along with the other students in her year group within their community.

Narromine High would like to take this opportunity to thank all the community members and school members who supported the project and purchased a t-shirt. This has assisted Tairae in raising money towards the Year 12 Formal, which will be held in November this year. Tairae also gifted shirts to all of our Narromine High School Year 12 Advisor, Mrs Justine Reid, t-shirt designer and Year 12 NASCA students. School Vice-Captain, Tairae Darcy, and Student Liaison and Support Officer, Mrs Well done! Kellie Wilson.

Libraries supporting local HSC students

DURING Library and Information Week, Macquarie Regional Library (MRL) — including our libraries in Narromine and Trangie — is informing the community about how the network can support local students. MRL provides a range of free support and resources for students, in particular, those studying for their Higher School Certiﬁcate (HSC). “The HSC is fast approaching with the trial examinations in early August, so we encourage students in our community to come into their local library and learn about the resources and study spaces available,” said MRL Acting Manager, Gabrielle Teale-McEvoy. MRL has an extensive collection of HSC resources for revision and exam preparation written by experts, including study guides, past papers and prescribed texts. Students

PHOTO: MRL. can access entire subject summaries that cover everything they need to know including advice for writing essays and tips for the best ways to study. The library branches also have desk spaces available for

independent and collaborative study. “The library is a welcoming space with access to desks, free Wi-Fi and computers. Students can also bring study snacks into the library,” Ms

Teale-McEvoy added. For students undertaking research for the purposes of an assessment, the library has extensive e-resources available including Britannica Library and Gale databases. The latter offers a large online collection of articles from a variety of publications including journals, magazines, and newspapers. “The online resources available to students provide access to high quality resources, including academic articles,” Ms Teale-McEvoy said. “Our staff are also always on hand to help students ﬁ nd relevant, trusted information and provide guidance on how to access online resources to get the best results when researching for assessment tasks. We are here to help our local students.” A library card is all students need to access the HSC resources, and if students

don’t have one of these, they can sign up online or join in person for free at a local library branch, Ms Teale-McEvoy said. Year 12 student Tharushi Marapana can vouch for the support she receives from MRL as she completes her ﬁnal year. “I come to the library quite often to study. It is nice to get out of the house,” Ms Marapana said. “I use the HSC biology topic tests. These have been really useful preparing for the HSC biology exams,” Ms Marapana added. Library and Information Week is an opportunity to celebrate the important role that libraries play in the community. Further information can be obtained on the MRL website, or in person at a local library branch.

Sport RACING NG REPORT ORT By COLIN HODGES ON their property in the Dubbo area, Jean and Dr Bob Slacksmith over many years have bred and then raced numerous winners and at the recent Warren TAB meeting it was a unique winning double with Cumboogle and Toongi Bound. Both gallopers were produced by mares which the Slacksmiths won races with on central west tracks. Ondine Belle, the dam of

Raced at Warren on Tuesday, July 23 Cumboogle won at Mudgee when trained by Tracey Bartley while Letyahairdown, the dam of Toongi Bound, was trained by Brett Thompson to win at Louth and Wellington. Gulgong based Brett Thompson is now the trainer of both Cumboogle and Toongi Bound. Shaking off Smart ‘N’ Rirzy in the straight, Cumboogle (Will Stanley, $7.50) then held off the fast ﬁ nishing Barry The Poet (Jack Baker, $17) and Maryland Bridge (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $5.50) in the 1000 metres Tawn Chaarolais Class 1 Handicap at Warren. Toongi Bound ($13) under hard riding from Clayton Gal-

lagher turned back a length of the straight challenge by Bliss (Shannen Llewellyn, $6) to win by a short neck with Magnace (Shayleigh Ingelse, $3.10 favourite) ﬁ nishing third in the 1400 metres Gunnegaldra Feedlot Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap. Dubbo based apprentice Shannen Llewellyn had earlier ridden a winning double on Yamamai and Big Shot Legend for Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazelton. A last start second at $101 to Air Combat at Dubbo, Yamamai ($10) came from midﬁeld at Warren to beat Star Intrigue (Clayton Gallagher, $4.40) and

Richardson wins the week as local Open approaches SEVEN Geriatric Golfers turned up for the weekly Gerries’ competition last Wednesday. The weather was better than it has been, with the course in good condition following recent rain. Mal Richardson took the major prize of the day with a round of 23 points, just one point ahead of “Boof” Fraser who was second. There was no Nearest-the-Pin winner again this week although competition was keen in the battle for the NAGA prize, with a few players keen to take the trophy. This ultimately went to Phil White on 16 points and, I am told, those present enjoyed the

Benchmark 58 Handicap. Caught in heavy traffic halfway down the straight, McDonnell switched her mount to the inside and Lostma Cowboy ($16.00) burst through a gap to score a close win over Epic Time (Siena Grima, $41) and Shaquila (Nick Heywood, $6.50). The other winners were the Cody Morgan, Tamworth trained On The Charge (Robbie Downey, $1.95 fav.) in the 1000 metres Troon Grazing Maiden Plate and the Scott Singleton, Scone trained Omians (Mitch Stapleford, $10) in the 1600 metres Paringa/Bundah Class 1 and Maiden Plate.

“hot chips” after the game. Next week, play will be on the back nine with the hit-off at the usual early afternoon time. In the Vets, some 33 players from 11 clubs contested the Albert Vets Open in mid-July with Albert local, Michael Hillam, declared the overall winner on 38 points. Trangie golfers took out ﬁ rst and second in the B-Grade competition, with M. Dugan bagging the trophy and Bill Berryman second on 30 points. Attention is now on our own club, Narromine, which will conduct the annual Open next Thursday. That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th!

Weather washes out the Mac Picnic Races By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Macquarie Picnic Races at Trangie were another victim of the extreme weather system that moved into the area late last week, with heavy rainfall in parts of the region on Thursday evening and again overnight on Friday. Organisers then announced the heart-breaking decision to cancel their highly anticipated race meet on Friday, the day before it was due to take place, after NSW Racing stewards inspected the track. “Following ﬁve millimetres of rainfall overnight, Racing NSW stewards

inspected the track this morning and deemed it unsuitable for racing,” the agency explained on its website. “Despite the amazing effort from our team to get the track in top condition, the rain ultimately won,” the club then announced on social media. Club spokespersons “John and Tom” made the sad announcement in a video message. “[The track’s] deemed too wet and unsafe to race, and too slippery,” John said. Tom thanked sponsors and supporters for sticking by the event, and said they hoped to see everyone in 2025.

By NORM LEWIS RAIN and extremely cold weather forced changes to the programmed weekend events at Narromine Golf Club. As conditions meant that it was impossible to play on Saturday, the Match Committee transferred the programmed Stableford Round Eight round of the Shootout to Sunday. Some 14 players faced the starter in still rather cold conditions to play the 18-hole Stableford event, which was also Round Eight of the Club Shootout competition. Winner on the day was Duane Faro-Mann with a score of 35 points, and he collected the trophy provided by the YGPC. Rob Williams was the runner-up with a score of 33 points. Great golf, but as can be seen from the scores, it was tough going out on the course. There was no winner of the Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) on the ninth, however, Bruce Fidock took the prize on the 10th. Blake Richard-

son won the Long Drive event, and the drawn Birdie Jackpot on the 10th was also not won. A couple of Match Play Championship games were also played, with Steve Squires defeating Glen Smyth on the second play-off hole, and Tony Harding defeating Dan Coen by 2-1. No word was received in relation to the Albert Open scheduled for Sunday. The Club 4BBB Championship is next weekend and is being played over 36 holes across two days for trophies provided by the Duff family. Those wishing to play at different hitoff times to regular starts are asked to contact Club Captain, Alex Sambrook. Don’t forget the Narromine Veterans Open, which will be played next week. We are hoping for a top ﬁeld of WDVGA players to take part, and the course will be closed to social play on that day. That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th!

Minor Premiers! The Narromine Jets’ League Tag side came away with a win in the Women in League Round, retaining the Jessica Skinner Cup and retaining their spot at the top of the ladder.

THE Coolah Kangaroos held off a formidable challenge for the Boronia Cup from the Cobar Roosters in their Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Round 13 blockbuster played on a heavy track at Coolah’s Bowen Oval. The home side survived the tough battle to retain the silverware, with a hardfought 18-12 triumph over the Roosters. The victory not only means that they remain undefeated in season 2024, but also assures them of the Minor Premiership and, subsequently, the hosting rights to the major semi-fi nal to be played on Saturday, August 17. Whilst Coolah have the top spot on the ladder stitched up, the fi nal pecking order of the top five is still yet to be decided, with Cobar’s loss to the ‘Roos and Narromine’s 28-22 win over the Gulgong Terriers, leaving the Jets equal with Cobar on the competition ladder with both locked on 33 points. This means that the results of their games against the Baradine Magpies and Gilgandra Panthers respectively in the fi nal round of the competition this Saturday, will determine who fi nishes second and third. The Magpies and the Panthers slogged it out for the Noonan-Campbell Cup on a muddied McGrane Oval in Gil-

gandra last Saturday, with the home side coming away with a thin 22-16 victory after they scored a converted try with just two minutes remaining in what was a tight contest. While neither of those sides will be figuring in games beyond Round 14 this weekend, they can still have an influence on the fi nal structure of the top five and would like nothing better than to fi nish their seasons on a high note. The Coolah Roos are not the only team to have secured the Minor Premiership, with the number one position decided in all four grades: those comprising the Cobar Roosters in the Youth League, the undefeated Narromine Jets in Ladies League Tag, and the Binnaway Bombshells in Reserve Grade. However, with just the one competition round remaining, the battle is well and truly on for semi-fi nal berths in both League Tag and Reserve Grade. Many of the games being played this Saturday will have a bearing on the final makeup of the top five in those competitions.
