Man charged over threecar crash that closed the Mitchell Highway By SHARON BONTHUYS A 34-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with a serious drink-driving offence following a three-car crash last Friday night that hospitalised two motorists and closed the Mitchell Highway between Narromine and Dubbo for approximately 17 hours. The accident occurred at about 6.15pm on Friday, August 2, when emergency services responded to reports of a three-vehicle crash on the Mitchell Highway at Currawong, about 22 kilometres west of Dubbo. One of the vehicles impacted in the crash overturned, and a number of passing motorists were known to have stopped to assist at the scene. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the drivers and sole occupants of two vehicles, a 77-year-old man in a Mitsubishi Triton, and 30-year-old woman in a Subaru Tribeca, at the scene before both were taken to Dubbo Hospital. The elderly man, who the Narromine Star understands is from Bourke, was later airlifted to Sydney’s Westmead Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Bailey’s intrepid adventure walking across Australia By SHARON BONTHUYS FIVE months ago, 22-year-old Novocastrian and proud Worimi man, Bailey Myers, set off from Perth on the journey of a lifetime: to walk across Australia and raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation along the way. Last Thursday, Mr Myers walked into Narromine on the latest stop on his epic trek, and into the hearts of everyone he met here. The Narromine Star understands Mr Myers was met by some of the local Under-14 and Under-10 League Tag football teams who walked with him into Narromine and to the Noel Powell football ovals, where he met some of the local youth. That evening, Mr Myers traded his usual side-of-theroad swag for a warm bed and hospitality provided by local resident Jaqui Hull and family. Mr Myers also spent time with the Clontarf students and had breakfast with them at Narromine High School, then met and received a donation from Mathew Edwards at Coles supermarket. He also spoke to the students at St Augustine’s Parish School about his journey, before continuing on his way on Friday.

Inspired to “do something big” INSPIRED by Australian sailor, Jessica Watson, who was the youngest person to circumnavigate the world solo and non-stop at the age of 16,

Bailey Myers is fulﬁ lling his mission “to do something big” and inspire young people to follow their dreams. After convincing his initially-skeptical parents (who are now his biggest supporters) about what he wanted to achieve, Mr Myers took a break in his Environmental Engineering and Science studies at the University of Newcastle and ﬂew to Perth earlier this year. He set off on foot in March with a goal to cross the country and reach

his hometown by late August. On his personal website, Mr Myers has been documenting his cross-country travels. Some days on his journey he has only travelled as many as 10 kilometres, while other days he has managed four times that, as he crossed Western Australia, South Australia, and now, NSW. For the most part, he has travelled safely across the country, experiencing a small number of incidents involving some close calls with motor-

ists or other safety issues in particular locations. The determined young man is certainly on track to meet his deadline of making it to Newcastle by Friday, August 23. Accompanying Mr Myers on his trek is a custom-made barrow, which looks rather like an old-fashioned icecream cart.

Man charged over three-car crash that closed the Mitchell Highway From page 1 The 34-year-old driver of a Toyota Landcruiser, the only occupant of the third vehicle, was later subjected to a roadside breath-test which allegedly returned a positive result. He was then arrested and taken to Narromine Police Station where a secondary breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.106. Officers from Orana-Midwestern Police also established a crime scene at the location and specialist Police from the Crash Investigation Unit began an investigation. The man was subsequently charged with “Drive with middle range PCA” (Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol), and his licence was suspended. He was granted conditional bail and will appear in Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday, September 25. Police have appealed for anyone travelling through the area at the time of the crash with phone or dashcam footage, to contact Dubbo Police Station or Crimestoppers.

Chaos for travellers THE serious nature of the crash and subsequent investigation by the Police at the site for an extended period of time, also caused chaos for through-travellers as traffic was re-directed onto other rural routes, requiring signiﬁcant diversions for many motorists. The Mitchell Highway was closed between Manildra Street, Narromine, and Rawsonville Bridge Road, Currawong for 17 hours. Motorists were directed to alternate routes including the Eumungerie-Narromine Road, Tantitha Road, and Tomingley Road to skirt the accident scene. Information about the closure was shared widely on news services, including the Narromine Star, and social media. As the road closure extended into Saturday, some motorists vented their frustrations on social media at the delay and perceived lack of information from authorities about the status and condition of the Mitchell Highway. The road was re-opened to through-traffic around 11 am on Saturday, August 3.

30,000 reasons to support Rotary By SHARON BONTHUYS IT may be small in number but Narromine Rotary Club is indeed mighty when it comes to effort, recently donating $30,000 in what has been an increasingly difficult year for the 66-year-old community service club. At its Changeover Dinner on Tuesday, July 30, which installed a new leadership team for the 2024–25 year, the now seven-member club celebrated its fundraising efforts for the previous year. Local charities and organisations including Narromine Cancer Support Group, Timbrebongie House, the MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Support Group, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the VRA, the Parkinsons Support Group, the Red Cross Red Shield Appeal, Narromine Gorillas, and St Vincent de Paul received more than $18,000 between them, with another $1000 going to local schools. The club also supported various internal Rotary initiatives including Australian Rotary Health, the Rotary Foundation, the Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children, and programs supporting malaria and trachoma elimination.

Donations to other national charities also totalled $6500. Donations were also presented on the night to the Integra Service Dogs, the Guide Dogs, Lift the Lid on Mental Health, the hospital auxiliaries of Narromine and Trangie, and Royal Far West, bringing the group’s contributions for the year to just over $30,000. Much of the group’s fundraising has come from the club’s iconic food van, which will be retired at the end of 2024, and the collection of aluminium cans. Club president for 2024–25, John Sinclair, reﬂected on the club’s current status and paid tribute to Rotarians and the Friends of Rotary for their efforts that enabled the club to function and to raise funds. “The Rotary Club of Narromine has continued to support the local community through the offering of our services,” he said in the Changeover Dinner program. “With continued decline and small membership numbers, a common theme across all volunteer based organisations, Friends of Rotary are critical associates which have enabled our current fundraising activities to continue within our community.”

Famous alumni seek to inspire students in Public Education Week WHAT do former High Court Justice Michael Kirby, Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock, Matilda’s star Emily van Egmond, astrophysicist Kirsten Banks, celebrity chef Kylie Kwong, and best-selling author and educator Kylie Captain, all have in common? They are all former NSW public school students and among dozens of high-proﬁ le alumni who have agreed to join a program, led by Justice Kirby, showcasing the beneﬁts of a public school education. Launched earlier this week to mark the start of Public Education Week, the alumni program reflects this year’s theme, “Proud to Belong”, and aims to inspire students to think big and see they are part of a community of achievement that extends beyond their school gate. The program seeks to strengthen students’ sense of belonging and pride, a key step in the NSW Government’s goal of advancing outcomes, opportuni-

ties and experiences for all NSW children. This year, the inaugural NSW Public Education Awards were also held at Sydney Town Hall to recognise students, teachers, school staff and parents for their exceptional achievement and contribution to public education. Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning, Prue Car, said it was exciting to see the diverse and exceptional range of former public school students stepping forward to support NSW public school communities through this alumni program. “I am so proud to see the success stories that come from our incredible public school alumni and I cannot wait to see how they inspire the next generation of students to aim high, work hard and follow their dreams,” Ms Car said. “As the saying goes, ‘students need to see what they can be’ and through this alumni program we hope to lift their horizons and in-

spire them to embrace the vast opportunities a public school education will open for them,” added NSW Education Department Secretary Murat Dizdar. Former High Court Justice Michael Kirby reflected fondly on his public school education. “I’m still, in my heart, Strathﬁeld North Public School. I haven’t changed in the values I received from my school, my teachers, and my parents — values of kindness, of reaching out, and working for a better society and equality,” he said. Chef and Powerhouse Museum Associate Kylie Kwong is another passionate advocate of public education. “Education is transformative for the lives of individuals, their families, and the wider community, and I am incredibly passionate about supporting public education to ensure that everyone in society, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to learn and grow and thrive,” Ms Kwong said.

Maygen Wood wins the Narromine Young Woman award at Show Ball 2024 Runner-up Chantelle Ted der.

By SARAH WEIR, NARROMINE YOUNG WOMAN COORDINATOR A SOLD-OUT crowd took to Soul Food Depot and Gallery last Saturday night to celebrate the annual Inland Petroleum Narromine Show Ball, and hear the announcement of the 2024 AgShows NSW Narromine Young Woman. The entrants spent the day being interviewed in front of three judges — comprising The Land Sydney Royal AgShows NSW Young Woman 2024, Domonique Wyse and runner-up, Paris Capell, and 2024 RM Williams RAS Rural Achiever State Finalist, Joel Maguire. Each entrant was assessed on their rural knowledge, general knowledge, presentation, confidence, ambition and goals, community involvement, and during an on-stage interview during the evening. After being thoroughly entertained by MC Katie Powell, the 2023 AgShows NSW Narromine Young Woman, 19-year-old Maygen Wood was announced as the winner with Chantelle Tedder, 22, as runner-up. Attendees then danced the night away to the melodic music of Sam Coon and also enjoyed some light-hearted fun in the Creative Capture 360 Photo Booth. Maygen will now go on to represent Narromine at the Zone Six ﬁ nals, held in February next year in Dubbo. There she will compete against Young Woman entrants from more than 30 Show societies that make up Zone Six, ranging from Bathurst to Bourke and everywhere in-between. The Young Woman program is an initiative aimed at recognising and celebrating the contributions of girls in rural communities. The program focuses on equipping young women with the tools and confidence to become future leaders, and encourages participation in agricultural shows, fosters community involvement and supports personal growth through mentorship, networking opportunities and educational workshops. A huge acknowledgement also went out to all the local businesses who support and sponsor this iconic local event, each and every year.

Public round-table on volunteering planned By SHARON BONTHUYS VOLUNTEER-LED groups from across the Shire are invited to participate in a public round-table that the Narromine Star is hosting later this month on the state of volunteering. The Narromine Star has reported numerous stories about issues and challenges facing local volunteer groups in the district, and would like to explore this in more detail through a public discussion, followed by a question-and-answer session. The Narromine Star is now reaching out to local groups to formally invite them to provide a representative to attend. Members of the public, elected representatives, and anyone generally interested in the subject are also welcome to attend. What is a round-table, you may ask? It is a moderated event that allows a topic to be explored in groups through detailed discussion. The Narromine Star will pose questions about the state of volunteering to attendees in groups, with ﬁ ndings from the discussions to be shared.

The round-table will take place at the St Andrews Uniting Church Hall, Meryula Street, Narromine, (opposite Dundas Park) from 2–4pm on Friday, August 16. Refreshments will be provided. Parking is available in the church grounds as well as on Meryula and Burroway Streets. The venue is ground-level, easily accessible, and with all required amenities. The Narromine Star will publish the findings and suggestions derived from the public round-table in our Thursday, August 22 issue. If you would like further information about the round-table, please contact me directly on 0401 153 100, or email: newsroom@narrominestar. com.au.

Narromine Show needs your help!

Remembrance Biscuits

By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH the 2024 Narromine Show just a few weeks away, organisers have appealed for two volunteers to step up and help out at this year’s event. The Rings Section of the Show needs two stewards or helpers during the ring events on Saturday, August 31. If anyone would like to have a go, reach out to the organisers via their social media. There’s free entry to the show for those who help out, the Narromine Star understands. Another group is also on the lookout for volunteers to assist them at the show. The Narromine Rotary Club needs more friends to step forward to help Rotarians cook up a storm for the hungry hordes in their iconic food van. There are only seven Rotarians in the Club now, many of whom are retired, and they could certainly use a few more hands at what will be without a doubt the biggest event they will participate in this year. This is one of the last opportunities this year for community members to see the food van in action as well, as it will be retired from service at the end of 2024. And finally, this Satur-

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK

ONE of the traditional symbols of remembrance is the herb rosemary. This ingredient also features in the CWA NSW’s recipe for “Remembrance Biscuits”, which are traditionally served at times like at ANZAC Day each April, or Remembrance Day in November. They can, however, be made for any special occasion when you are thinking about loved ones no longer with us. This recipe comes from the CWA NSW The Land Cookery Companion 2024-2025. Ingredients 45g cheddar cheese, finely-grated 60g butter 3/4 cup plain flour 1 tsp dried or finely chopped fresh rosemary 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Find. Enhance. Deliver.

Method Cream the cheese and butter until soft. Sift the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper, add in the rosemary, then stir this into the creamed mixture, together with the Parmesan cheese. Mix well and form a roll, approximately 4cm in diameter. Wrap in cling film or aluminium foil and refrigerate for at least one hour. Slice roll into thin discs (approximately 3mm thickness) and bake on baking trays in a preheated moderate oven at 180 degrees Celsius, or 160 degrees Celsius in a fan-forced oven, for 15–20 minutes or until an even, pale, golden colour. Makes approximately 20 biscuits. Did you enjoy this recipe? Follow us on social media for this and so much more. We’ve been going for over 100 years, did you know?

Community raises Historic fashions on concerns at prethe field a highlight election forum at CWA high tea

The well-attended public forum raised several issues. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

Judy Smith told the audience why she is putting her hand up to run for council at next month’s poll. ABOUT 100 people attended a community election forum held by the Narromine Shire Positive Change Community Group (NSPCCG) in Narromine on the evening of Tuesday, August 6. The well-attended public forum held at the Narromine USMC was moderated by Lewis Lydon, supported by Bruce Maynard. The first part of the evening outlined issues of concern linked to the controversial Narwonah agricultural precinct, nine kilometres south of Narromine. This included the proposal flagged late last year by Asia Pacific Waste Solutions to build an anaerobic digestion and gasification plant on part of the site, and the more recent re-zoning proposal sent to the NSW government that would see the RU1 primary production zoning changed to E5 heavy industrial. Questions taken from the floor on this topic focused on decision-making processes and concerns about questions directed to the Narromine Shire Council and individual councillors that reportedly remain unanswered. Other issues raised during the forum included concern about alleged secrecy surrounding the council’s knowledge of large-scale renewable energy projects in the region, including solar farms, wind farms, and battery storage facilities. Concerns about the council’s new smart water meters were also aired, with various views shared about the accuracy and efficiency of the devices. Communication with and community engagement by the council were also identified as underlying issues, with some attendees sharing their experiences of difficulties in contacting the council to discuss various matters. A common theme expressed during the evening was to en-

courage community members to contest the local government elections next month as a means of being able to challenge decisions that were not considered in the best interests of the wider community. This led to the second part of the public forum where those who had expressed interest in running for council were given an opportunity to address the audience. Judy Smith, Chris Kelly, Mark Johnson, Ewen Jones, and Peter Howe addressed the audience, with Mr Lydon also reading out a candidacy statement on behalf of Vaughan Ellen, who was unable to attend. It is unclear if all of those people will proceed to nominate for council at this time. At the end of the forum, several people indicated they were happy with how the event was conducted and the issues discussed. “I thought it was well-attended, well-run, and people were given a fair opportunity to have their say,” said Robert Webb. “I’m disappointed the mayor was not here or many of the councillors. I would’ve liked to have asked them how they made their decisions,” said Julie Davis. Council candidate Judy Smith said she was pleased with the turnout and the discussion. “I think people were very receptive,” she said. Current councillor Ewen Jones, who is seeking re-election, said he was also pleased with the staging of the event. “It was a good opportunity to get together and talk about the issues,” he said. Narromine resident John Butcher said the idea to hold the public forum was a “good idea” and the event had touched on a number of subjects of importance to him, including council decision-making and water meters.

By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH the glitz and glamour of the Paris Olympics almost over, racing of a different sort is on the minds of the Narromine branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA). The Narromine CWA is busy organising a racing-themed event next month that combines history, glitz, glamour, and fabulous frocks with a scrumptious high tea. The CWA will bring the renowned Cavalcade of History and Fashion to Narromine for “A Day At The Races: A Century of Racing Fashion 1860-1980” on Saturday, September 7. The Cavalcade began in 1960 when a group of Sydney women organised a fashion parade to raise funds for a local charity, and a wedding gown from 1872 was displayed. People began donating historic items, and the resulting collection grew and grew. In 1970, Queen Elizabeth II viewed a Cavalcade exhibition at the Sydney Town Hall during a State visit. Boasting an 18,000-item collection with some items dating back to the late 19th century, the non-profit Cavalcade of History and Fashion has a “Museum without Walls” philosophy, bringing themed presentations, displays and exhibitions directly to the people in events like the one for the Narromine CWA. A Cavalcade spokesperson indicated Australia has more racecourses than any other nation, with 360 reportedly dotted around the country. “Aside from the actual horse racing, the most important part of a day at the races is and has always been the fashion,” the spokesperson said in a statement. At the Narromine CWA event, not only will racing fashions across the decades be on display, but attendees will also hear commentary from the Cavalcade’s experienced volunteer team. “You will see and hear how fashion has changed over time as seen in the gowns and

accessories that were worn — and some that should have been worn — to horse racing meetings from the 1860s to the 1980s,” the statement concluded. Attendees will also be treated to a delicious high tea prepared by the Narromine CWA as part of the event. The CWA’s “A Day at the Races” is timely considering a number of major events will take place in the region in the coming months as we head into the traditional big carnival horse racing season, including events at Narromine and Mungery. Narromine CWA President, Gabby Teale-McEvoy, hopes racing enthusiasts and Fashions on the Field fans will attend the event at the Narromine USMC. “The CWA is thrilled to bring this showcase of sartorial splendour to town,” Ms Teale-McEvoy said. “Narromine district has a rich history of racing with Narromine Turf, Tomingley Picnic and Trangie Jockey Clubs all established in the early 1900s, and Mungery celebrating their centenary this year,” she added. “Local owners have had success in Group One races with Les Gibson’s ‘Kingster’ winning the Cox Plate in 1955, and ‘Baystone’, owned by the Burns Family, winning the 1958 Melbourne Cup.” Ms Teale-McEvoy encourages those attending the event to “frock up” and don their best trackside attire as there will be prizes on offer for Best Dressed. Tickets for the event are $25 and available from local lawyers’ office, Nelson, Keane and Hemmingway in the old scout hall on Dandaloo Street. “All are welcome and we hope people will join us for a delightful afternoon,” Ms Teale-McEvoy concluded.

To be held at the Old Dubbo Gaol, the event will involve community members braving the cold for a night, with the aim of raising funds to help break the cycle of homelessness.

f The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is tackling a hidden underground exotic mosquito risk at Brisbane International Airport. A Vector Monitoring Program (VMP) is trialling new Hamer traps over an underground drain to identify potential larval habitats for Asian tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes that can spread dengue fever, chikungunya and Zika virus. Following the trial, the Hamer traps could be added to the VMP team’s arsenal — which already includes fan-powered suction traps and larvae-collecting tyre traps — to try and help identify more hidden locations requiring treatment to prevent harmful mosquitoes coming into Australia via baggage containers or cargo holds. f The NSW Opposition has called on the Minns Labor Government to review funding for the State’s roads after more than 200 fatalities so far this year.

Nominations for the ﬁve award categories close at the end of September.

Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) LAST week, the NSW Upper House Committee for Regional NSW established an inquiry into the impact of Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) on rural and regional communities and industries. The Committee will examine the impacts of REZs and largescale renewable projects proposed for these zones, including factors such as potential ﬁ re risk, socio-economic beneﬁts, and the effects on agricultural production, tourism, and the environment, Committee Chair, Mark Banasiak (MLC), said. “The committee will investigate whether affected communities were adequately engaged and consulted in the development of REZs,” Mr Banasiak said. “It will also consider the adequacy of compensation for landholders and their neighbours,” he added. He indicated the committee will also look at current and projected supply and demand levels

of manufactured products, raw materials, and their sources, and the human resources required to complete REZs. “The committee will explore the costs associated with the construction and maintenance of large scale projects within REZs, and how decommissioning bonds might work when the infrastructure built by the projects comes to the end of its operational life,” Mr Banasiak added. Other aspects of large-scale renewable projects, including whether there are suitable alternatives to traditional renewable energy sources, will also be investigated. Community members have until the end of January 2025 to make a submission to the inquiry, or complete an online questionnaire. Further information on the inquiry, including the terms of reference. are available on the inquiry webpage on the NSW Parliament website.

Bailey’s intrepid adventure walking across Australia Bailey Myers meeting local students in Narromine.

Bailey Myers, with his push-cart and Narr omine High students on his local stop-over, walking from Perth on the journey of a lifetime to Newcastle, to raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

From page 1 “People say it all the time,” he laughed, assuring us it doesn’t hold any iced confection of any kind. So far, Mr Myers has raised around $10,500 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, including money received from his brief time in Narromine. “It was really good to receive those donations,” he said. The Newcastle University student believes strongly in the value of education to change people’s lives, and the support he has received from his family. These are the primary reasons why the Indig-

enous Literacy Foundation is the beneﬁciary of his fundraising efforts.

A great impact TRAVELLING alone across the country on foot, doing something few other people have even contemplated, has had a deﬁnite and positive impact on Mr Myers’ outlook on life. “It does change your perspective and open up your mind,” he explained. “I come from the city, for example, and you know beef comes from the farm but you don’t really appreciate it until you talk to a farmer.

Bailey Myers talks with local children in Narromine.

The tracker on Mr Myers’ website shows his journey across Australia. “My understanding has definitely increased of Australia, of Australians. I’ve grown in confidence and I’ve definitely grown in character since I’ve been away. [It’s been an] absolutely incredible experience for those reasons,” he added. Mr Myers also has a message for the young people he meets on his journey. “I always say to kids when I see them now — go and do something. Something alone. Something that is hard. Something that is without distraction,” he said. The journey has also helped Mr Myers become closer to his Indigenous heritage.

“I didn’t grow up with Culture a lot, and I’ve utilised this walk as a mechanism to become more entwined with my Culture and gain more understanding of my Aboriginality along the way,” he said.

The future WHEN he returns to Newcastle, Mr Myers intends to return to his studies and further explore his Culture. “I will complete my last year and a bit of my uni degree when I return, hopefully having a greater understanding of my path ahead,” he said. “I’m also going to learn my

language and I’m going to get really involved when I get back,” he added. “It’s taken me a while to get on board the [Culture] train but now I’m on it and I’m good to go.” The young adventurer also admits that while he still has a long way to go in terms of personal growth, the mammoth cross-country trek has helped him in many ways. On his personal blog, he wrote: “What I do know… is that I can succeed at anything as long as true passion is paired with continuous effort.” You can follow Bailey Myers on his website, Intrepid Australia.

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

Jamie Chaffey preselected as Nationals’ candidate I’M delighted that Gunnedah Mayor, Councillor Jamie Chaffey, has been preselected as The Nationals’ candidate to contest the seat of Parkes at the next Federal election. I have worked closely with Jamie over the years, both in his role as Mayor and his involvement with The Nationals, and I know he has a deep passion for bettering our region. I’m excited the Party has chosen someone of such high calibre. Jamie has been a hardworking community leader; he understands the issues facing our communities and knows that regional Australia is the backbone of our economy. He is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, and I know he will work tirelessly to ensure the people of the Parkes electorate can continue to thrive into the future. I look forward to working with Jamie until the election is called, helping him meet and get to know as many people in the electorate as possible.

Concern about Rex airlines I’M very concerned about Rex Airlines going into voluntary administration.

Rex provides a vital service to two communities in the Parkes electorate — Dubbo and Broken Hill, as well as the surrounding towns and villages — not only as a connection for our rural and regional people to the capital cities, but as competition for the larger airlines. Our regional people deserve affordable airfares and reliable connections, and Rex helps keep our aviation industry competitive. We cannot afford to lose that service and so I urge the Labor Government to do what it can to ensure Rex can remain in the air. The previous Coalition Government provided considerable support to Rex during the COVID-19 pandemic because we understood the importance of these smaller airlines to regional Australia. Rural and regional Australians, particularly those in Broken Hill and the Far West, rely on air connectivity to the major cities for business, health and leisure and we need to ensure they won’t be left up in the air.

Week on the road IT was great to be out on the road last week catching-up with councils and community groups in Coonabarabran, Lake Cargelligo, Condobolin and Trangie. I met with a number of community groups that had received Volunteer Grants including the Coonabarabran Golf Club, Condobolin Picnic Race Club and Trangie Central School P and C, as well as Trangie CWA which has received a $19,343 FRRR Small Network Grant to upgrade the CWA rooms.

The week is also an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge all those who contribute to our children and young people’s educational journey. School staff, parents

the Wiradjuri Condobolin Corporation to discuss how the Wiradjuri Study Centre might benefit from funding that the NSW Aboriginal Culture Heritage and Arts Association received to promote professional development within its visual arts hub membership network. In Coonabarabran, it was an honour to present a Certiﬁcate of Appreciation to local veteran Donald Harrod, in recognition of his service during the Vietnam War.

Gunnedah Mayor, Jamie Chaffey, pre-selected for Parkes

A big country. The proposed new boundaries of the enormous Federal electorate of Parkes for the next election, comprising more than half of the land area of NSW. PHOTO: SPATIAL VISION. By SHARON BONTHUYS GUNNEDAH Mayor and Chair of the NSW Country Mayors Association, Councillor Jamie Chaffey, has been pre-selected as The Nationals’ candidate for the seat of Parkes at the next Federal election. If successful, Mr Chaffey will have substantial shoes to ﬁ ll, replacing retiring member Mark Coulton, who has represented the geographically-large electorate through ﬁve Federal elections since 2007. Mr Coulton announced earlier this year that he will not contest the next election, expected to be held in late 2025. The Parkes electorate is expected to become even larger at the next election, when it acquires three new local government areas under the proposed electoral redistribution for NSW.

The Australian Electoral Commission announced in June that the Division of Parkes will grow to include the Bland, Forbes and Parkes shire councils, while losing the remainder of the Gwydir Shire to the Division of New England. Mr Coulton said at that time: “The electorate currently covers a geographical area of 393,413 square kilometres — already well and truly the largest in NSW, covering 49 per cent of the state. “These changes will see it grow even further to approximately 406,755 square kilometres, which will make it more difficult to travel throughout the electorate on a regular basis, meaning more nights away from home for the next Member,” he added. Mr Coulton said Mr Chaffey was chosen for pre-selec-

tion from two other candidates — Michael Cooper and Peter Strahorn, both from Dubbo — at the party’s preselection meeting in Narrabri held on Saturday, August 3. Mr Chaffey has been the Mayor of Gunnedah since 2016 and has also served as Chair of the NSW Country Mayors Association since 2022. He was also appointed Chair of the Namoi Unlimited Joint Organisation of Councils in 2018, and is also on the board of the AUKUS forum Nuclear Advisory Board. A boilermaker by trade, he is a regional businessman and prior to his involvement in local government, served as President of the Gunnedah Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Mr Coulton congratulated Mr Chaffey on his pre-selection and said he will be a

fierce advocate for the Parkes electorate. “I have worked closely with Jamie over the years, both in his role as Mayor and his involvement with The Nationals, and I know he has a deep passion for bettering our region,” Mr Coulton said. He added that he was “excited” that his Party had chosen someone of such distinction to contest the seat at the next Federal poll. “Jamie has been a hard-working community leader. He understands the issues facing our communities and knows that regional Australia is the backbone of our economy,” Mr Coulton added. Leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud, also added his congratulations, describing Mr Chaffey as a “fantastic” advocate for regional communities.

“Jamie is a true local champion who has worked hard for the people of regional NSW, and is dedicated to advocating for the residents of the Parkes electorate,” he added. As well as congratulating Mr Chaffey on his pre-selection, Mr Littleproud thanked Mr Coulton for his nearly two decades of representation of the people of the Parkes electorate. “It is no easy feat to serve in Parliament for 16 years, but Mark has served with the utmost integrity and has been a trusted source of advice and guidance to those around him,” Mr Littleproud said. “I thank Mark for his dedicated service and I’m conﬁdent his legacy of advocating for the people of Parkes can carry on through Jamie Chaffey,” he concluded.

2024 Local Government Elections

And they’re off… nominations open for Council elections By SHARON BONTHUYS NOMINATIONS for the upcoming local government elections opened on Monday, and the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) has urged prospective candidates not to leave it until the last minute to lodge their nominations. Acting NSW Electoral Commissioner, Dr Matthew Phillips, emphasised that late nominations and amendments are not permitted under legislation. “This means no changes to nominations or new lodgements can be accepted after 12 noon on Wednesday, August 14,” Dr Phillips said. “Candidates should lodge their nomination early, so there’s time for our team to check whether their paperwork is in order,” he explained. “By lodging well before the deadline, there’s time for candi-

dates to correct any errors identiﬁed and still meet the nomination requirements.”

Endorsement important ONE of the strictest rules for candidate nominations involves those individuals who endorse the nominations. Candidates for councillor roles must be endorsed by at least two electors (registered voters) who are enrolled (that is, they physically live) in the council area the candidate is contesting. For this reason, it is recommended that potential candidates list more than two electors on their nominations, to ensure that their endorsing electors meet the residential criteria so that their nominations are ultimately successful. The NSWEC will publish the

details of successfully nominated candidates progressively from Thursday, August 8, so the community will be able to see who has put their hand up to contest the election. Ballot paper draws for the 126 councils participating in the local government elections will be conducted on Thursday, August 15, at the offices of the Returning Officer for each council area. The results will be published on the NSWEC website.

noon on Wednesday, August 14, does that,” he said. “But candidates must still be registered with the NSW Electoral Commission before accepting political donations or making payments for electoral expenditure.” Dr Phillips said that on Thursday, August 15, all successfully nominated candidates, who have not already registered, will be deemed “registered” to accept donations and pay for their campaigns.

Registration for electoral funding

Support available

DR Phillips emphasised that nominations are a separate process from registering as a candidate for electoral funding purposes. “Registration for electoral funding does not get a candidate’s name on the ballot paper — only a valid nomination by 12

THE NSWEC website has a wealth of information about the local government elections, and Dr Phillips urges potential candidates to explore the site and seek assistance if needed. “Support is available to prospective candidates through webinars, drop-in sessions, on-

line resources and FAQs on our website,” he concluded.

Are you enrolled to vote?

VOTING in the September local government elections is compulsory, so all adults over the age of 18 must vote in the poll. Technically, voters are called “electors”. However, electors must be registered as living in their local government area. The cut-off date for enrolling to vote in the forthcoming local government elections or changing address details has now passed, closing at 6pm on Monday, August 5, so it is too late now to change your address in time for the September election. The NSW local government elections for 126 councils will take place on September 14.

The Narromine Star reported on July 18 that the $20,000 grant received from the Foundation of Rural and Regional Renewal would refurbish two rooms and the kitchen to enable private meeting spaces in the facility. These funds originated from the Federal Government. After their visit, Mr Coulton and his party then travelled on to Trangie Central School. managed to get on to the 20 lifeboats onboard, but their fate wasn’t going to be much different if help didn’t come quickly. The closest ship, the Californian, did not respond to calls for help. The next closest, the Carpathia, was 100km away — through a thick cluster of icebergs. The captain of the Carpathia, Arthur Rostron, was asleep when the SOS came through at 12.15am. But, as soon as he was roused awake by the radio operator, he set a course and said a prayer. The Captain gave a total of 23 orders that night, including preparing coffee and

blankets for the survivors, mobilising doctors to help the injured, posting extra lookouts, and rousing all stokers to shovel coal into the boilers as fast as possible. Miraculously, they managed to travel 25 per cent above their normal top speed and not hit any icebergs. The Carpathia arrived at the scene of the sinking at 4am and saved over 700 people in lifeboats. The Californian ended up only arriving at 8.30am — which might have been far too late for many of the lifeboat occupants.

The clear-headedness of Jesus always spurred Him on in His mission to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). His humility drove Him to service, not superiority (Philippians 2:7-8). And His compassion was noted numerous times (such as, Matthew 9:36). We, like Captain Rostron, may one day be thrust into an absolutely extraordinary situation requiring every ounce of strength we can muster. I pray that we, like Captain Rostron, will respond with clarity of mind, humility, and compassion under the guiding hand of our Maker. By LUKE MERRIMAN

dark, and at such speed, the devout follower of Jesus, Captain Rostron, simply replied: “I can only conclude that a hand other than mine was on the helm.” This good man, courageous yet humble, was just doing his ordinary duty when an extraordinary situation was thrust upon him. With clarity of mind, humility of character, and deep compassion, Captain Rostron leapt into action to save those in their hour of need. Captain Rostron’s actions mirror those of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the One to whom he prayed on that heart-rending night.

Transition to high school starts now By NARROMINE HIGH SCHOOL NARROMINE High School has opened its doors to Year Five and Six students to begin their transition to secondary education. Students from Narromine Public School, St Augustine’s Parish School, and Narromine Christian School, will be participating in a number of exciting classes this term to open their eyes to the wonderful opportunities that Narromine High School has to offer. The program has already kicked off, with students from Narromine Public School recently sitting in on Music, Science, and Art lessons with staff. We look forward to welcoming all the new faces to our school in the coming weeks!

it was so lovely to see the sun again! The club only has two more rounds of football, then the soccer gala day to be held in Dubbo later this month. Our season has

ﬂown this year! The club is grateful for the community support we have received, with a special “shout-out” to Narromine Pharmacy.

NARROMINE High School Under 14s took on Riverstone High School at the Buckley Shield ﬁnals in Sydney earlier this week. The boys put up a strong ﬁght, but unfortunately went down 2812 at full-time at the game played on Monday, August 5. Narromine High School would like to thank the Parents and

Citizens Association (P&C), who made a generous donation to cover a large portion of the trip expenses. We would also like to thank the management team at Coles Narromine, who provided a large food hamper for the team.

Thank you also to Ms Smyth and Mr Burns for arranging the travel and accommodation for the team.

Sport 2024 CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

Finals to begin in Castlereagh!

Minor premiers in Ladies League Tag, the Narromine Jets defeated Baradine in their most recent clash. PHOTOS: NARROMINE JETS. By BRYSON LUFF FULL-TIME for Round 14 of the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League signals that the Finals series is now set to begin this coming weekend. The semis start with the qualifying fi nals to be played on Saturday and the elimination fi nals on Sunday, for all four grades. Tom Knight Oval at Cobar will host the first of the finals action with the Roosters up against the Narromine Jets in First Grade with the winner to advance to the major semi against Coolah the following Saturday. The loser, however, will then face sudden-death against the winner of the Elimination Final that will be played between the Gulgong Bull Terriers and the Coonabarabran Unicorns at Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval on Sunday. The Roosters finished their competition round matches with a strong 44-11 win at home against the Gilgandra Panthers last Saturday, whilst the Jets will also come into the game on the back of a sturdy victory after they downed the Baradine Magpies 40-14 at Baradine. In terms of wins this season against each other, it stands at one-all with the Roosters scoring a resounding 58-14 victory at Cobar in the opening round, whilst the Jets returned serve when they won 28-18 in their Round 10 game at Narromine.

Although it will not be the end of the road for the loser, it would be a lost chance to host the 2024 Grand Final, so a fiercely-fought contest is expected in front of what should be a good crowd. Moving on to Sunday’s First Grade clash, the Terriers and the Unicorns have only met once so far this season, that being in Coonabarabran in Round Seven, with the match ending in a 32-all draw. If that result is any indication, then the supporters of both sides can look forward to an intense battle, with the losing side bowing-out of the Premiership race while the winner will live on to fight another day. There will be some high quality match-ups in the other grades played at both venues as well, with the Ladies league Tag game at Cobar between the Coolah Flyers and the Dunedoo Swannettes presenting itself as one not to miss. The two teams played last Saturday with the Flyers coming away with a 32-14 win, although in terms of try scoring, it was only four-to-three in favour of the Flyers after what was described as a fast flowing game.

By NORM LEWIS ONLY ﬁve players and one scorer took to the course for the weekly Gerries’ golf competition. The small ﬁeld took advantage of the great course, which was being mowed for the upcoming major events, and it was a great sunny day for golf. Chris Harding relished the conditions to finish with a score of 22 points and take the major prize. Runner-up was “Boof” Fraser on 21 points. There was no one good enough to

take the Nearest-the-Pin this week, which had a jackpot with a prize worth winning. Bob Richardson took the NAGA prize on 15 points. Some kind person supplied some pies and sausage rolls for the after-golf snack, which were enjoyed by all present. Next week, our competition is on the front nine at the usual winter hitoff time. The Vets Open is on this week, with results in next week’s edition of the Narromine Star. That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Gilgandra, Saturday, August 3 AT the big nine-race program hosted by Gilgandra Jockey Club on Saturday (August 3), the veteran grey gelding Toulon Factor won the feature event the 1280 metres Collie Hotel-Collie Cup. Following record acceptances, the meeting was extended from the original six races and trainer Jane Clement travelled from Armidale on the northern tablelands with several runners including the Cup winner Toulon Factor. Entrusted with the mount was apprentice Leeshelle Small who handled the assign-

Veteran grey gelding wins feature race at bumper Gilgandra meeting ment very well to bring up her 4th winner since beginning race riding in March this year. Turning for home, Foreign Brother (Siena Grima, $3.70) took the lead from Mrs Ed and Sparks but was overhauled and beaten a half head by Toulon Factor ($5.50) which came from midﬁeld while nearly two lengths away third was Hit The Rim (Wendy Peel, $11). Originally from Malmo in Sweden, Julia Presits rode 9 winners and trained 17 winners before moving to Australia where she began riding at the picnic races with her ﬁ rst winner being Prospectors Helmet at Gosford. Later she became a successful apprentice jockey in the professional ranks before recently moving to Muswell-

LADIES GOLF

Two weeks of wonderful fun, including Vets championship

brook and taking out a trainers licence. At only her second meeting, Julia Presits won the 1600 metres Think Water Outwest Benchmark 50 Handicap with Cheeky Nugget which is owned by her partner, champion picnic jockey Leandro Ribeiro. Given a good run behind the leading pair, Cheeky Nugget (Clayton Gallagher, $2.50 favourite) kicked away in the straight to win by over two lengths from Intense (Chelsea Stanley, $11) and the strong ﬁ nishing Ocean Hero (Siena Grima, $26). Coonabarabran trainer Graeme Brooker has been a loyal supporter of apprentice jockey Angela Cooper and they combined to win the 800

metres Three Rivers Machinery Benchmark 50 Handicap with Smart ‘N’ Ritzy. Taking the lead at the top of the straight, Smart ‘N’ Ritzy ($10) held on well to beat Obsessive Nature (Leeshelle Small, $5) and Dancelittlesister (Jessica Brookes, $9.50). Gilgandra has a very short straight however winners regularly come from off the pace to win and such was the case with Magic Madonna in the opening race, the 1000 metres Hazelton Racing and Keith Kilby Memorial Maiden Plate. Formerly trained in Victoria and ﬁ rst up for the Clint Lundholm stable at Dubbo, Magic Madonna (Nick Heywood, $5) came from a long way back and near last, to beat the leader Aspen Boulevard (Clay-

ton Gallagher, $1.95 to $1.75 favourite) and Pattera (Ken Dunbar, $5.50). Nick Heywood also brought the Michael Mulholland, trained World Atlas ($4.80) from behind the leading pack to win the 1600 metres Gilgandra Services Club Benchmark 50 Handicap from Anazarli (Ella Drew, $6) and Zounile (Zoe Hunt, $8.50). The other winners at the Gilgandra TAB meeting which drew a very good crowd were; Sunyani (Cobi Vitler, $4.60) trained by Brett Cavanough, Hampton Cove (Shayleigh, $6.50) trained by Brett Thompson, Yael’s Delight, $6.50 to $5.50) trained by Barry Wall and the Troy O’Neile trained Alenia (Siena Grima, $6.50 to $4.60).

Father and son duo win two major golf events at Narromine Sunday winners, Rob Gainsford and Greg Kearines.

By DALE HARDING THERE have been some fascinating results for the past two weeks of ladies’ golf competition in Narromine. On Wednesday, July 24, a total of 22 ladies turned up to play the Veterans’ championship. In golf, you qualify to be a veteran at age 55, making everybody present on the day eligible to play. In the 18-hole competition, eight ladies competed and the A-grade champion was Vicki Gainsford on 74 net. The B-grade winner was Vicki Tuck with 73 net, and the ball winner was Lynne McCutcheon with 76 net. The 18-hole Super Vet (for players over the age of 75) was won by Dale Harding, with 78 net. Some 14 ladies played nine holes and the B-grade winner was Gail White, with a score of 36 net on a count-back from Kim Handsaker, also on 36 net. The C-grade winner was Carol Paddison with 38 net. The golf ball winners were Kim Handsaker on 36, and Carol Mcalman on 39. The Super Vet winner (for players over age 80) was Jeanette O’Brien on 41 net. Nearest-the-Pins (NTPs) were won by Jenny Fitzgerald, Jenny Ward, and Carol McCalman, and the drawn cards were won by Wendy Jeffrey and Nikki McCutcheon. Once again, Saturday golf was a wash-out with bad weather for the last weekend in July. How annoying! On Wednesday, July 31, a total of 17 ladies played a Two-Person Ambrose for a trophy donated by Jennie Ward and Kim Handsaker. Because of the odd number of players, one team had three members, consisting of Jeanette O’Brien, Dale Harding, and Jennie Ward, who won the day with a score of 28 net. Golf ball winners were Michelle Ashdown and Mandy Dunbar on 29 net, while NTPs were won by Vicki Gainsford and Gail White. Drawn card winners were Maida O’Mally, Viv Halbisch and Bron Plunkett. We also held a “Chip-In For Cancer Research” competition, which raised more than $130. Last Saturday, a small ﬁeld vied for the fourth Monthly Medal. The 18-hole winner was Carol McCalman with 67 net, while the nine-hole winner was Vicki Tuck on 39 net (on a count-back from Gail White) who won a golf ball. NTPs were won by Maida O’Mally, Carol McCalman and Vicki Gainsford, while drawn cards went to Wendy Jeffery and Marj Kelly. Looking forward to seeing you on the course!

Junior golfers take to the fairways By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE junior golf program at Narromine Golf Club is going very well, according to one of the program coordinators, Kale Bock. About 25 young golfers aged between five and 13 years of age are registered in the program, which teaches the youngsters all about the practical elements of playing this ancient Scottish game. The program is also one of the cheapest for participants, who pay just $5 each week. Every Sunday morning during school term-time, junior golfers gather to play a shortened game of golf over several holes on the Narromine course. “It’s not really a lesson, as such,” Mr Bock said of the junior golf program, which he co-coordinates with fellow club members Craig Duff and Bill Gibbs. “The kids warm up and play five or six holes, so it’s like an actual game for them,” he added. The young players use equipment suitable for juniors, and many of them have their own equipment, Mr Bock said. “The kids will also share their equipment with others,” he added. Mr Bock said the feedback from the young participants has been good so far, with players enjoying the mini-games and making new friends. Mr Bock said the Narromine Golf Club was very privileged to be able to host visits by Gary Begg from Golf NSW, which have benefited players in the junior golf program. Mr Begg is one of 11 regional managers with Golf NSW who provide support to clubs, and is responsible for Western NSW. The regional managers’ key areas of focus include junior development, participation programs and club support initiatives of Golf NSW and program partner Jack Newton Junior Golf. To further support the junior program, Narromine Golf Club is conducting a fundraising raffle which closes at the end of August. Great prizes including a club-supplied top quality Callaway golf bag, a barbecue from Narromine Hardware, and vouchers from Macquarie Valley Fuels and Macquarie Clothing are up for grabs. Funds raised will contribute towards a trip away for the juniors and possibly a lesson with a golfi ng professional.
