Firies burn up the km’s for littlest burns victims

Get ready to vote at the council election

By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST Saturday was unseasonally warm for winter, and it just happened to be the day a group of fi refighters from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Station 401 Narromine burned up the kilometres raising funds for a good cause.

Emulating their colleagues participating in the City2Surf event in Sydney, three Narromine fi refighters tackled a 14-kilometre walk around the town decked out in full structural fi refighting gear as they raised funds for Beat The Burn, a charity supporting children with life–changing burn injuries.

The local event complemented these efforts and an established tradition by FRNSW firefighters in supporting FRNSW 002 Station The Burns Unit at The Children’s Hospital, Westmead, in Sydney, said Retained Firefighter Renée Lewry The Narromine Star spoke to Ms Lewry prior to the trek, who said the team was excited to participate in the event locally.

Narromine Shire Council meets in the council chambers every month. This meeting took place in February 2024 PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. EXTRAORDINARY interest in council decision-making in the Narromine shire has seen an inf lux of nominations to contest the forthcoming local government elections next month.

With nine councillor positions up for grabs, including the mayoral position which is chosen at the first council meeting after the election, a minimum of 10 nominations are needed to

hold an election.

This number was reached on August 13, the eve of the close of nominations, when a 10th candidate’s details were published on the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) website.

Two more nominations have appeared since, and we’re aware of at least two nominations being lodged on deadline day that have not yet appeared on the

website at the time of writing. The NSWEC needs to examine all submitted nominations for eligibility before the details of successful nominations can be posted online.

This guarantees an election will be held on September 14, when Narromine Shire Council will be one of 126 NSW councils going to the polls on that date to determine its elected representatives for

Get ready to vote at the council election

A screenshot of the candidates seeking election to the Narromine Shire Council next month. PHOTO: NSWEC.

PHOTO: GOOGLE MAPS.

At midday on August 14, 12 candidates were listed on the NSWEC website, as follows: f Ewen Jones (Narromine) f Vaughan Ellen (Narromine) f Rowan James (Trangie) f Fiona Barbary (Tomingley) f Stacey Bohm (Narromine) f Judy Smith (Narromine) f Les Lambert (Narromine) f Melanie Pryde (Narromine) f Craig Davies (Trangie) f Brian Leak (Narromine) f Diane Sharpe (Narromine) f Christine Kelly (Narromine)

No repeat of uncontested election PROCEEDING to an election on September 14 will ensure there will be no repeat of the scenario at the previous election, where only nine candidates nominated for the nine available positions and were automatically appointed in line with local government legislation.

This process is called an “uncontested election” and

has been a point of contention at some community meetings in recent months and on social media.

The election news will also come as a relief to those concerned community members who contacted the Narromine Star about wild rumours circulating about what might happen if another election could not be held, as outlined in our July 25 issue.

Other councils struggling AN uncontested election could be on the cards for some neighbouring councils that have struggled with nominations.

At the time of writing, Bogan Shire Council had nine nominations for nine available positions, potentially facing an uncontested election situation if no further nominations are received.

Coonamble Shire Council also had eight nominations for nine available positions, while Warren Shire Council had eight nom-

inations for 12 positions across its four wards.

Lachlan Shire Council had nine nominations for 10 available positions across its five wards, and Gilgandra had seven nominations for nine available positions.

In stark contrast, 30 people are running for election in Parkes, which has 10 available positions.

Of course, we’ll check back and see how any last minute additions impact these regional councils and let you know in next week’s issue.

Minister for Health, Ryan Park, said the NSW Government is committed to enhancing palliative care services and supports for all people across NSW. “These NGO initiatives will provide increased death and grief literacy, promote knowledge and implementation of advance care planning and provide increased grief and

bereavement support for families and carers,” he said.

“The NSW Government also recognises the central role that volunteers provide for the delivery of compassionate palliative care and support for patients and families.”

Palliative Care NSW CEO, Kirsty Blades, welcomed the news of the state support for the organisation’s end-of-life programs and palliative care volunteers. There are currently more than 1100 volunteers from 38 palliative care volunteer services in the state, she said.

“Palliative care volunteers are actively involved in offer-

ing support and companionship to people receiving palliative care, their family, and carers,” Ms Blades said.

“Services may provide, among other things, psychosocial support, carer respite, grief and bereavement support, and biography work, in hospitals, and at home in the community,” she added.

“The Palliative Care Volunteer Services Support Program provides resources, education and support to palliative care volunteers and volunteer services and helps build capacity in the sector,” Ms Blades’ concluded.

Community engagement needed for renewables: resources forum THIRD annual Resources Energy and Industry Innovation Forum (REIIF) held in Dubbo last week discussed how regional NSW can move forward into a low emissions economy.

More than 40 speakers presented to an audience of 250 people over the three-day event, RDA Orana CEO, Justine Campbell said.

“The forum provided an opportunity to discuss the wide array of issues and innovations occurring in the new energy sector, the impact it is having on local communities, as well as the benefits that will occur in the long term,” Ms Campbell said.

“A theme occurring from the forum was the need for collaboration between industry, government, universities and the community,” she added.

The sector, thanks to Government support and mandates, is growing.

“There are so many projects occurring across our State, ranging from electrification, recycling, circular economies and, in the rural sector, to carbon and land management initiatives.

“The one thing they all have in common is the goal of lowering emissions,” Ms Campbell added.

The forum also highlighted the impacts faced by local government, and programs underway around workforce, skills, housing and community engagement.

Ms Campbell said it was evident that more effort needed to be placed on engagement with communities being affected by renewable energy projects, with a number of session speakers raising the topic of ‘survey fatigue’.

“The audience heard from speakers who were looking at new ways to engage communities though place-based initiatives that directly involved the towns and cities affected,” she said.

“This ranged from pilot engagement models being investigated through to projects that train and employ local people so the community can see real tangible benefits,” Ms Campbell said.

A wide variety of attendees were at the event, she added.

“We had representation from Local, State and Federal Government, the mining industry, research and development organsiations, new energy businesses, thought leaders and educational institutions all in one room who have the same common goal.

“RDA Orana was able to bring all these people together in a regional centre so they could share their ideas, collaborate, and partner in new projects to benefit our region,” Ms Campbell concluded.

At the third annual Resources Energy and Industry Innovation Forum (REIIF) held in Dubbo last week, EnergyCo Planning and Communities Executive Director, Ash Albury; CRU Base Metals Supply Principal Analyst, Piers Montgomery; RDA Orana CEO, Justine Campbell; Engage and Create Consulting Director, Julia Spicer; Mining and Energy Related Councils Executive Officer, Dr Michael Askew; Mid-Western Regional Council General Manager, Brad Cam; and MC and Charles Sturt University Innovation Programs Director, Jo Palmer.

In Brief

Around the traps…

THE Narromine Star again presents these little newsgrabs from around the Shire and beyond. If you know something is happening around the traps, drop us a line. f Narromine Aero Club’s Top Gun outdoor cinema experience is just a month away. It’s free, but is a ticketed event. Have you got yours yet? Don’t forget to take your own chairs! Read our story on page 13. f Residents and landholders are reminded of the requirement to notify fi re agencies before lighting hazard reductions and pile burns.

This can be done quickly and easily via the Rural Fire Service (RFS) online portal. f Nominations are open for the NSW Women of the Year Awards 2025, which recognise and celebrate women and girls who inspire us with their actions. Award categories include Premier’s NSW Woman of Excellence, NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year, NSW Community Hero, NSW Regional Woman of the Year, NSW Young Woman of the Year. Nominations have also opened for the Ones to Watch category,

recognising 10 rising stars between the ages of seven and 15. These exemplary girls will be highlighted for their courage, strength, determination, and kindness to help and support those around them. f With lithium-ion batteries the fastest-growing cause of fi res in NSW, the State Government will impose strict new standards on the sale of lithium-ion battery-powered e-bikes, e-scooters and similar items as it pursues a national approach to low-quality products. In response to growing demand for such products, and increased community risk from poor-quality versions, sellers of devices like e-bikes or e-scooters in NSW will soon face penalties of up to $825,000 if they do not meet the strict new standards. f The NSW Government has backfl ipped on a plan to cut support for regional long-distance coach fares, according to the NSW Opposition, which slammed the move which would otherwise force the cost of concession tickets for particular coastal routes to skyrocket. f Frontline emergency staff are going the extra mile to

save lives this winter, rolling up their sleeves to donate blood and plasma as part of the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood’s 2024 Emergency Services Blood Drive (ESBD). Some 2606 donations of blood and plasma from NSW emergency service teams this year have provided life-saving treatment, helping save up to 7818 lives. The ESBD runs until the end of August, and anyone can take part by picking an emergency services team to join when booking. f The Minns Labor Government is pursuing “innovative solutions” to address the housing and homelessness crisis with the use of 3D printing to deliver more housing. This “groundbreaking method of construction” aims to build the first social housing property of this type in NSW in Dubbo. Aboriginal Sustainable Homes will work in partnership with Contour3D to harness 3D printing technology to transform a vacant block of land in Dubbo into two two-bedroom duplexes, providing Aboriginal Housing Office tenants with a safe and secure place to call home.

Expected to commence in September, construction is expected to take 16 weeks, the Government says. f The NSW Legislative Assembly’s Committee on Law and Safety tabled its report on e-cigarette regulation and compliance in NSW last week. The report makes 10 fi ndings and 13 recommendations to the government, including providing more resources to NSW Health for extensive enforcement and compliance activity, and developing an online tool to provide a “one-stop shop” for information about vaping and support for cessation in young people. f Milk supply and distribution has been in the news in Eastern states lately, so it’s great to hear that local supplier The Little Big Dairy Co is growing its customer base, and working with distribution partners to service an even wider span across NSW and the ACT. f A key milestone has been reached in the construction of the New Dubbo Bridge, following the completion of piling to support the 660-metre structure being built over the Macquarie River.

For over a year, Dubbo resi-

dents have heard the sound of 89 tubular steel piles up to 60-metres long being driven into the ground, with noise carrying more than a kilometre from the work site.

The fi nal steps for the bridge component of the project will be pouring the concrete to form the bridge-deck, installing parapets, streetlights and laying the road pavement to complete the infrastructure ready for traffic, a Transport For NSW spokesperson said. f Sixteen people from NSW, Queensland and the Northern Territory have recently graduated from the 2024 Australia Future Cotton Leaders Program (AFCLP).

The bi-annual program run by Cotton Australia with funding from the Cotton Research and Development Corporation develops emerging leaders in the industry, and has produced 116 graduates since commencing in 2006. Graduates completed an intense program featuring face-toface forums, interactive online discussions, one-on-one coaching and integration with industry activities.

Exciting show schedule online!

By SHARON BONTHUYS IN just over two weeks’ time the Narromine Show will be upon us once again, delighting the community with a range of events, displays and activities.

With the tremendous efforts of dozens of volunteers making the event possible, are you planning to go and support your local agricultural show?

All the action starts for the general public on the last day of August, Saturday, August 31. The event schedule is available on the Narromine Show website so you can see what’s on, what’s to see, and can plan your day.

Horselovers will enjoy the equestrian action, which starts at the Showgrounds at 8.30 am and will field an incredible 166 categories of judging staged across four rings.

There will also be a Prime

Lamb Hoof Competition.

The Junior Quests are bound to be popular, accepting entries in six categories including babies (0-2 years), tiny tots (2-5 years), junior primary (6-8 years), senior primary (9-11 years), junior teens (12-14 years), and senior teens (15-17 years). Entries for the quests close on August 27.

The Alkane Resources Ltd Pavilion is always a major drawcard at the Narromine Show, featuring a wide variety of displays including farm and garden produce, fancy work (quilts, embroidery, knits, sewing, needlework and handicrafts), as well as arts and craft and local school displays.

Livestock for judging will include goats, cattle, sheep and wool, as well as the always popular poultry.

A highlight for many in the Pavilion is seeing the amazing

culinary talents of local residents with their homemade items on display including preserves, jams, pickles, biscuits, cookies, slices, scones, cakes, tarts, fruit cakes, confectionery, sugar art, and cake decorating. Even the kids get to have a go, with their colourful creations welcomed each year.

Then there are the flowers, with many floral arrangements adding a wonderful burst of colour to the Pavilion.

Displays will include both potted and decorative items, arrangements in containers, and bulb exhibits. Again, the kids are encouraged to submit floral arrangements to the show.

The photography section always receives a good number of entries across its 50 categories, with many local ‘togs showing just how talented they are behind the camera.

The crafters have 14 cate-

gories in which to submit entries, with 15 categories in the junior section.

A number of perpetual trophies will be awarded at the show across a variety of areas, through the ongoing support of local sponsors.

There will be a wide variety of options for food and beverages at the Narromine Show, some provided by community groups as part of their fundraising activities.

Fireworks will also round out the day, which is something families will enjoy after the kidlets have tired themselves out at sideshow alley.

Narromine Agricultural Show Society spokesperson Jenny Ballhausen encourages the community to come along and enjoy the 2024 show, and to consider entering something for judging across the many and varied categories.

“If every local resident entered something, we’d have 5,000 entries to judge. What an issue to have to solve!” Ms Ballhausen said.

Schools have traditionally been solid supporters of the Narromine Show, Ms Ballhausen said, and this year is expected to be no different.

“The Narromine Shire schools have always been fantastic supporters of the show, with their static displays delighting their families and the community,” Ms Ballhausen added.

An event organised and staged completely by local community volunteers, the Narromine Show is not to be missed.

For further information, see the advertisement this page.

Locals take rezoning motion to NSW Farmers conference

By SHARON BONTHUYS CONCERNED farmers from the Narromine Shire are behind a motion raised at the recent NSW Farmers’ state conference rejecting the rezoning of agricultural land from RU1 (primary production) to E5 (heavy industrial).

Farmers Judy Smith from Narromine and Peter Howe from Trangie gained the support of their local Narromine/ Trangie branch of NSW Farmers earlier this year to put the motion to their organisation’s state conference in Sydney on Narromine farmer Judy Smith was part of a recent delegaJuly 23-24. tion to the NSW Farmers’ state conference seeking to reject The request came from the the rezoning of RU1 agricultural land to E5 heavy industrial. pair’s opposition to a Narromine PHOTO: SUPPLIED. Shire Council proposal supported by a majority of councillors on March 13, 2024, to rezone agricultural land at Craigie Lea Lane, Narwonah, from RU1 to E5.

That proposal was subsequently submitted to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for a “gateway determination” — a checkpoint for a planning proposal to review strategic and site-specific merit and whether the planning proposal should proceed.

An outcome on that proposal is pending. “[The branch] was aware of the issue and very supportive,” Ms Smith told The Narromine Star.

Ms Smith said they originally wanted to include two motions, one opposing incinerator developments and the other opposing the rezoning of agricultural land, but found that NSW Farmers already had a policy on incinerators.

Mr Howe and Ms Smith were invited by branch president,

Peter Wilson, to form part of a four-person local delegation to the July conference to put forward the motion on behalf of the branch.

They joined Mr Wilson and Branch Secretary Belinda Haigh at the conference held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse.

Themed “Feeding the Future”, the state conference was attended by over 200 people from more than 65 NSW Farmers’ branches.

Delegates considered the Narromine/Trangie branch motion on July 23. Under “Land Zoning”, Motion E37 read: “NSWFA opposes any agricultural land zoned RU1 being rezoned Heavy Industrial E5.”

Background information supplied in support of the motion outlined branch concerns about “waste-to-energy/gasification plants which emit a range of dangerous ‘forever chemicals’ such as dioxins that pollute and cause human health issues such as cancer and birth defects.”

It also pointed out the NSW Government was “now [allegedly] looking to locate these toxic plants in regional areas.

This means that agricultural land zoned RU1 can be rezoned heavy industrial E5 to allow for these plants and all manner of other hazardous and offensive industries.”

Explaining the motion “WHEN moving a motion, delegates were given one minute to speak,” Ms Smith explained.

“A bell at one minute signalled the end of your time. If delegates wanted to hear more, they could call a ‘further heard’ which if supported by the majority, allowed you one extra minute,” she added.

“I was fortunate to gain a very strong ‘further heard’.”

Ms Smith proceeded to explain the council decision, local community concern and opposition to the proposal, and potential environmental impacts of the rezoning to the delegates.

“In short, E5 zones are not compatible with farming. They also make you a target for State Significant Projects such as waste-to-energy incinerators.

They aren’t making any more farmland, so we need to protect what we have,” Ms Smith told the delegates.

“Lots of people spoke to us about what was going on over the two days of the conference which was wonderful,” she added.

Next steps

THE Narromine/Trangie delegation was thrilled with the support received from conference delegates, Ms Smith said. The outcome was that the motion will now go to a NSW Farmers committee for further consideration, she added.

“We should know [the outcome] towards the end of the year.”

With the push for renewable energy projects across the state, particularly in regional areas including our own, people are thinking more about these things, she said.

Raising the motion at the conference was worthwhile for what it has achieved: to get the message out there so others are aware of the issue, Ms Smith said.

A regular attendee in the public gallery at Narromine Shire Council meetings, the retired school teacher has nominated to run for council at the local government elections next month.

She is motivated by a perceived lack of inaction by elected officials at all levels of government and her desire to listen to and respect community perspectives, she said.

“I will continue to lobby to rescind the Narwonah rezoning,” she concluded.

Back to the bush, for Nationals’ Coulton candidate SMALL-TOWN mayor and the Nationals’ candidate for Parkes, Jamie Chaffey is wasting no time getting out and about in the local electorate, following his preselection win for The Nationals on Saturday.

Gunnedah Mayor, Mr Chaffey says he has hit the ground running, with Federal Party Leader, David Littleproud joining Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton for the start of Mr Chaffey’s campaign trail in Dubbo.

Mr Littleproud said Parkes has secured “a fantastic candidate, who is a true advocate for the community”.

“Having previously worked as a small businessman before becoming Mayor of Gunnedah Shire, Jamie knows the cost-of-living pressures that local families and business owners are facing under the current Labor Government,” Mr Littleproud said.

“It’s important to meet locals and listen to their concerns, Mr Chaffey will continue Mark Coulton’s legacy of fighting for better regional and health services as well as better roads, such as the Newell Highway heavy duty pavement upgrades between

Narrabri and Moree,” he added.

Mr Coulton said it’s great to have Mr Littleproud in the electorate to officially welcome Mr Chaffey.

“I’m excited that Jamie is going to be contesting this seat at the next election – he’s a worthy candidate and David and I, and The Nationals, will do everything we can to support him in his campaign to be elected,” Mr Coulton said.

“It’s not going to be easy — Jamie will have to work hard to win over the electorate but I’m confident he has what it takes to do the job and be an effective Member,” he added.

Mr Chaffey said it’s been a whirlwind few days, but he’s excited to get to work.

“I’ve been extremely humbled by the amount of support and well wishes I’ve received since Saturday’s preselection,” Mr Chaffey said.

“This is just the beginning — the Parkes electorate covers such a large part of NSW, so I know it’s going to take a mammoth but exciting and achievable effort to meet as many people as possible and get to know each of the communities ahead of the election,” he concluded.

Warren community pays its respects to a young life lost

By SHARON BONTHUYS

SUPPORTING the youth of Warren was a high priority for the Warren Youth Support Group (WYSG), following the tragic death of 16-year-old Lewis Leonard late last month.

Just three days after the motorbike crash that took Lewis’ life, the WYSG team led more than 150 people on a memorial walk from their Burton Street base to the crash site, where flowers were laid and a minute’s silence was observed to remember and reflect.

WYSG spokesperson, Kelly Sinclair, told the Warren Star that Lewis was known to many young people locally.

The group, which runs the Warren Youth Centre and Community Hub and actively engages with the town’s youth, staged the memorial walk on Wednesday, July 24, to provide additional support to local youth grieving his loss.

“We also wanted to show our love and support to the family,” Ms Sinclair added.

WYSG encouraged the com-

munity to join the walk, to show the Leonard family they were not alone in their grief.

A mix of fresh and artificial flowers were provided to memorial walkers, with all items distributed at the crash site, Ms Sinclair said.

“Although it was a very sad occasion, we were just showing each other support and strength, and letting the kids know they were not alone in their grief,” she explained.

“It was more about being together and to grieve together,” she added.

Ms Sinclair said a number of organisations had reached out to offer support to the community following the Sunday, July 21 tragedy, including headspace, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, NSW Health, and Marathon Health.

“The Dubbo Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer has also been out to the community,” Ms Sinclair said.

Ongoing support will continue to be available, Ms Sinclair said, including WYSG’s in-house youth counselling service that is available for

any youth who needs advice and support.

WYSG is also a host employer for the Marathon Health Youth Outreach Project, a culturally-safe outreach support service in ten communities without easy access to a headspace centre. This support would also be available to the town’s youth.

Lewis Leonard passed away on the afternoon of July 21 after emergency services were called to the Oxley Highway, near Rifle Range Road, following reports of a crash involving two motorbikes. Police are investigating the incident and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.

With young Lewis farewelled in a service at Warren last week, his family has expressed their gratitude to the local community for the outpouring of support shown to them.

“We don’t have the words for the gratitude we are feeling,” Felicity Leonard said.

“We are extremely grateful to the whole community for the support they have given.”

Robust protections Gorillas down but ready to re-group! needed for myGov: Ombudsman THE Commonwealth Ombudsman, Iain Anderson, has weighed into the debate about increasing myGov fraud, suggesting robust protections are needed to prevent scammers accessing individuals’ accounts.

Last week, Mr Anderson’s office released its report, “Keeping myGov secure — An investigation into Services Australia’s response to myGov fraud arising from unauthorised linking to member service accounts.” “myGov fraud causes affected Australians stress, anxiety and frustration,” Mr Anderson said.

“Following complaints to my Office, and media reports about incidents of tax fraud linked to myGov, I commenced an investigation based on concerns previously raised with Services Australia that there were not adequate security controls in place to protect people from the impact of myGov fraud.”

“Unauthorised linking” is where a genuine myGov customer’s member service account is linked without

their knowledge to a “fake” myGov account created by a fraudster.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman’s investigation found that preventative security controls for unauthorised linking are limited to the proof of record ownership processes that are implemented by the individual myGov member service agencies. These processes vary across those individual agencies.

There are no additional security controls in place to ensure high-risk transactions such as changing bank account details are authorised by genuine customers, presenting a shared risk to all myGov participants.

Mr Anderson noted, “[Australian Public Service] agencies responsible for administering a system or program that involves other agencies, like myGov, should understand the levels of risk across the system and ensure risks that could impact other participants are managed effectively, including through identifying and managing shared risks.”

The Ombudsman made four recommendations and two suggestions to Services Australia aimed at improving: f the security controls for unauthorised linking and high-risk transactions. f how Services Australia and individual member services manage shared risks within the myGov ecosystem. f Services Australia’s approach to responding to customer reports of fraud and breaches to individual records across its three member services.

Services Australia has reportedly accepted the Ombudsman’s recommendations and suggestions.

“Given the volume and sensitivity of information held in member service accounts linked to myGov, robust protections to stop fraudsters gaining unauthorised access to myGov accounts are essential,” Mr Anderson concluded.

The full report is available on the Commonwealth Ombudsman website.

It’s time for a team huddle and re-group after Saturday’s game!

Political News & Opinion Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Chaffey’s campaign begins OUR Nationals’ candidate for Parkes Jamie Chaffey, has wasted no time getting out and about in the electorate following his preselection. Last week, he joined me and the federal Leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud in Dubbo, to mark the start of his campaign trail.

We met with local businessman, John Walkom, and inspected the progress of the new residential apartment block at No. 1 Church Street.

This project is very exciting for Dubbo, and is evidence of the growth the city is experiencing. We also caught-up with Chamber of Commerce members, Matt and Kristen Smith from Lazy River Estate, to chat to them about the challenges of running a small business during the current costof-living crisis, and we also visited the critical minerals project site at Toongi which will have national significance for a range of existing and future technologies.

Construction of the fi rst 3D printed social home in Dubbo is expected to commence in late September.

I’m pleased the government has selected Dubbo to start addressing the housing shortage and I’ll be eager to watch the progress of the build. I have also been a strong advocate for modular housing in regional areas and believe it should be part of the mix.

Grants to improve aged care services

From left, Federal Nationals Leader, David Littleproud; Kristen Smith from Lazy River Estate; Nationals’ candidate for Parkes, Jamie Chaffey; Matt Smith from Lazy River; and Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton in Dubbo.

AGED care providers in the Parkes electorate have until Thursday, August 29 to apply for funding to deliver more residential care beds or upgrade existing facilities under the Aged Care Capital Assistance Program.

This program aims to increase access to quality aged care services for First Nations communities, those living in regional, rural and remote areas, and people with complex and diverse needs, including dementia. Up to $200 million is available for new residential care services, or an expansion, upgrade or refurbishment of an existing residential aged care service.

It’s so important that our rural communities have access to aged care services so that our elderly and those in need of care can remain in their hometowns close to loved ones.

New program for live music venues A NEW program to support live music venues and music festivals is currently open.

The Revive Live program aims to provide support to established live music venues and music festivals to assist them to continue operating in the current climate, limiting venue closures and event cancellations, and stimulating long-term sustainability. Grants of $5000 and more are available to Australian-owned organisations that have a primary purpose to host live public performances

impact of Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) to hold regional hearings in Wellington and Mudgee. It’s important that the most impacted communities are allowed to have their say. The Central West Orana renewable energy zone is currently the only active REZ, which is why it makes sense to host regional hearings in the areas where the most affected residents live.

When it comes to renewables, the bush is doing all the heavy lifting, and the impact on tourism, local business and people’s lives needs to be carefully considered. That’s why both Wellington and Mudgee are ideal locations for these discussions to take place, to ensure concerns can be raised and addressed with all the right people at the table.

Unfortunately, pubs and clubs are not eligible to apply for this new program, which excludes organisations that receive income from gambling and those for which delivering live music is a secondary function.

Narromine Lions host Vice District Governor Judy Ryan and special guests

By SHARON BONTHUYS

NARROMINE Lions Club was thrilled to host their Vice District Governor, Judy Ryan, and a party of special guests during a visit to town last week.

Mrs Ryan was accompanied to Narromine by her husband, Michael, himself a Past District Governor, as well as Lions District Cabinet Secretary, Di Smith, and her husband Bob, also a Past

District Governor.

Club members accompanied the visiting dignitaries to the Narromine Aviation Museum last Wednesday for a guided tour and then, after lunch, to see the important restoration project the Club has been involved with for some time as part of its 70th anniversary celebrations in 2023.

This includes refurbishments that have been completed on a class “S” wagon, known fondly as an “S-Truck”,

mounted on the historic railway turntable situated between the railway line and the entrance to Kierath’s shopping centre in Narromine.

Considered to be part of the backbone of country rail freight haulage for decades last century, the remaining Narromine S-Truck, was one of more than 10,000 built between 1910 and 1920 for the NSW rail network. This type of rolling stock was eventually phased-out of service in the

1980s, as road transport became a quicker option to deliver most goods. The S-Truck now at Narromine was sourced from Forbes in 2018 by past Lions, Keith Elrington and Alex Mitchell.

New signage has been installed as part of the refurbishments while gardens in the turntable grounds are yet to be established.

The Vice District Governor and party enjoyed seeing the special project during their

visit, with Mr and Mrs Ryan joining local Lions and their partners later for dinner.

“The completed S Truck [is] a project we at Narromine Lions Club are very proud to have undertaken,” the Club announced on social media.

They also gave a special shout-out to museum volunteer Bob Richardson for providing the guided tour, and to Lions George Mack and Charlie Burrowes, for their insight into the turntable project.

Local Government

New agreement to benefit NSW councils

THE peak body for local government in NSW and the State Government have off icially signed a new cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening councils and providing more stability for communities.

Local Government NSW (LGNSW) President, Cr Darriea Turley AM, signed the 2024-2027 Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig last Thursday. It replaces a previous IGA that existed between 2019 and 2023.

The IGA sets out key principles for a partnership between the two spheres of government to improve social, economic, environmental and civic outcomes for communities across NSW. It also outlines roles and responsibilities and how the two levels of government agree to work together, as well as detailing their commitment to jointly advocate to the Federal Government on critical community issues and policies that benefit NSW. Cr Turley said the new agreement demonstrated the ongoing strength of the rela-

tionship between LGNSW and the NSW Government.

“I fi rmly believe genuine and sustained progress can only be achieved when all levels of government work together,” Cr Turley said.

“A formalised agreement between councils and the NSW State Government reaffirms the equal partnership needed to deliver excellent outcomes for our communities. LGNSW has worked hard, as has the NSW Government, to build a strong relationship so we can deliver these outcomes,” she added.

The new IGA focuses on

strengthening the financial sustainability of councils, commitment to democratic local government, and ongoing collaboration.

Highlights include minimising the impact of cost-shifting and a review of the rate peg [which determines how rates are set] in close consultation with LGNSW and councils.

The NSW Government also committed to no progression of council mergers or boundary changes not requested by councils for the term of the agreement, as well as returning councils under administration to democratical-

ly elected representatives as soon as practicable.

Cr Turley said the new agreement affirms both levels of governments’ commitment to collaboration, continuous improvement and innovation, thanking Premier Minns and Minister Hoenig for their support.

The LGNSW was looking forward to playing its part in the shared vision for NSW, in partnership with the State Government, Cr Turley said.

“I anticipate even greater outcomes in the near future following this new agreement,” she concluded.

Community News A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH

Top Gun on the Tarmac

By SHARON BONTHUYS AVIATION enthusiasts will have an extra reason to visit the Narromine Aerodrome precinct next month, as the local aero club hosts a free movie night with a big difference.

The Narromine Aero Club is inviting residents and visitors to join them for their Top Gun on the Tarmac event.

The club will screen the big-budget blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to the original 1986 fi lm Top Gun, in early September.

“We’re actually having the screen out the front on the tarmac area,” Aero Club President Stewart Hignett told the Narromine Star.

“Some of the seating will also be on the tarmac,” he added, indicating the grassed area in front of the club will also be available for attendees.

“People can bring their own chair or rug or whatever and sit on the tarmac or on the grassed area inside the club grounds,” Mr Hignett said.

For those who love their 1970s student furniture, the club is also holding a unique fundraising initiative on the night in support of the Narromine Cancer Support Group. Patrons can buy a bean bag to sit on and watch the movie.

As Narromine Aerodrome is a working airstrip, the event area on the tarmac at the front of the club will be appropriately fenced off to allow aircraft through and to maintain safety for those attending the event, Mr Hignett said.

Attendees will be able to buy dinner onsite from the Lions Club or the Narromine Gliding Club, or bring in their own food. A coffee cart will also be on site selling hot drinks.

As the event is licensed through the Narromine Aero Club, attendees will not be able to bring in their own alcohol. Bags and eskies will be checked on entry to ensure compliance.

The club aims to create a great atmosphere for the event, and hopes the community will get on board, come out, and enjoy a great night at the aerodrome.

“We’re going to park some aeroplanes around the tarmac, so it adds to the atmosphere,” Mr Hignett said.

The club is also hoping that some people might like to fly in for the event and stay overnight at the neighbouring caravan park, he added.

The event is free to attend, thanks to a generous $5800 grant from the Tomingley Gold Operations Community Fund.

Tickets will still need to be obtained through local online booking platform 123Tix, however, so participation can be safely managed, as well as for catering purposes.

For more information about the event, follow the Narromine Aero Club on social media.

Do all roads lead to Rome?

WE arrived at John, Chapter 14, at church last Sunday in our sermon series. The Disciples are coming to terms with the fact that Jesus won’t be around for much longer.

So it is like a final coaching session for them, as Jesus lays out some plans for the road ahead. The opposition to Jesus is increasing, and things are getting complex and heading to a conclusion.

The Disciples are thinking about what happens after Jesus’ death, and Thomas even tells Him that they don’t know the way ahead.

A comment we might hear today

Shakespeare FUNERALS DUBBO

on the matter is that “all roads lead to Rome”. By this, it means that it doesn’t really matter what religion you believe, as long as you lead a good life you’ll receive the promised reward.

The religion can go on to describe what rites and deeds we must do to live this fable-like, good life. At times, even our political view of life can take a similar path. Labor or Liberal, they’re all much the same; there are always winners and losers, always some injustice and corruption.

Then on a personal level, Paul, in Romans, Chapter Seven, spells it out. He says in verse 18: “I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.”

So when it comes to knowing the road ahead, or our fi nal resting home, we may conclude: will eternity be a place that is no better than we are on our good days?

But Jesus begs to differ with all this and Thomas’ uncertainty of the road to take. Thank God for the comforting words of John, Chapter 12, where Jesus says, “I am the way,

the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”

Through His written word, the Bible, Jesus goes on to tell us that eternity with him is far better than we can ever possibly imagine.

He also says that we can never do enough good to earn a place in his heaven.

However, because Jesus loves His people and wants them to be with Him, He has done something that is quite amazing. Jesus lived the perfect life that we can never live.

Jesus did not deserve to die; death is what we earn, but He took our place.

Jesus is the way, He built the road. And only feet of faith will walk on it, because John 14:3 tells us that He will come back and then take us on it.

Do all roads lead to Rome? Rome is a great place to visit and the roads of this world will take you there.

Heaven is better by far, though the road is narrow, we’ve been entrusted with knowing the way.

Sport 2024 CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

Jets lag, Unicorns out, players off in tumultuous first week of finals!

Cobar’s young flyer, Reece Josephson — the winger scored four tries — evading the Narromine defence in the Roosters versus Jets semi-final last weekend, won easily by the home side.

PHOTO: COBAR WEEKLY.

By BRYSON LUFF THE half-time scoreboard in the First-Grade Qualifying Semi-Final being played at Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval showed Narromine Jets down 30-0 in what was best described as a horror start to the game for the visitors.

Whilst nothing ought to be taken away from Cobar’s dominant display in the opening 40 minutes, it should be acknowledged that the Jets contributed to the Roosters’ domination on the scoreboard. They did through some wayward passing and kicking that resulted in three long-range tries, all converted, being scored by the red, white, and blues.

In terms of scoreboard activity, the second half slowed down somewhat. An additional 12 points were scored by the home side, including a fourth try to Cobar’s highly-talented young gun Reece Josephson, while the Jets managed to break their duck after three quarters of the match had elapsed, with a belated converted try for a fi nal score of 42-6.

If the sad state of the final scoreboard was not enough to exasperate the Jets’ faithful,

the ill-discipline shown by a couple of their players in the last 10 minutes of the match was, resulting in a sin-binning and a send-off. These infractions will make them even more nervous about their prospects of progressing any further in the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League fi nals series.

They live to fight another day, however, that being next Sunday when they will host the Gulgong Terriers in the do-or-die Minor Semi-Final at Cale Oval.

This match up follows the Terriers just scraping home against a courageous Coonabarabran Unicorns outfit in the Elimination Semi played at Gulgong on Sunday.

The game was more notable, however, for exploding in the 25th minute of play when a melee erupted resulting in two Coonabarabran players and one Gulgong player all being sent off.

It could be argued that the extraction of those three players from the field actually contributed to what afterwards was a free-flowing match for the remaining 55 minutes, with Coonabarabran, in particular, opting to move the ball

wide on many occasions.

In fact the match ended up being a thriller, with the scores being locked on two occasions and the lead changing hands four times before the Terriers managed to just get home 34-30.

Over the weekend, other grades also produced some great games, not the least of which was the Youth League match played at Cobar between Narromine and Binnaway where extra time was required to get a winner after the two sides were locked at 8-8 at the end of regulation time.

The Bombshells went on to claim a tense 14-8 win in extra time, to see them advance to the Minor Semi-Final.

Another stand-out game was the Ladies League Tag fi xture between Gulgong and Baradine at Gulgong on Sunday, with the Terriers holding off a late charge from the Magpies to win 16-10.

Finals action continues this weekend with the unbeaten Coolah Kangaroos hosting the Cobar Roosters in the Major Semi-Final at Coolah on Saturday.

After their dominant display against the Jets last Saturday, the Roosters might fancy their prospects of being the fi rst team to ground the ‘Roos in what should be a hard-fought match in front of a bumper crowd.

The Minor Semi-Finals will be played at Narromine on Sunday, with the First Grade fixture involving the battered Jets up against the Gulgong Terriers.

This will be a real test for both sides and, while Gulgong will go into the match as laststart winners, they would be well aware that they only just gaining entry into the game, after they were fully stretched by a Coonabarabran outfit that played almost three-quarters of the match with one less player than the Terriers.

Meanwhile, Narromine will have to regroup after their

dismal showing at Cobar last Saturday, a performance that they would be pleased to put behind them.

Gulgong is the only club that still has all four grades playing in the semis, with their Youth League side being up against Cobar at Coolah on Saturday, whilst on Sunday at Narromine, their Reserve Grade team will be playing the Baradine Magpies, and their Ladies League Tag team takeon the Coolah Flyers.

Apart from the Youth League game, the lower grade action at Coolah on Saturday will involve Binnaway and Gilgandra playing in the Reserve Grade, and League Tag will involve the undefeated Narromine Jets and the Dunedoo Swannettes taking the field in what will be a replay of their epic 2023 Grand Final match-up.

Christie and Hood Castlereagh League scores Qualifying semis at Cobar, Saturday, August 17.

Reserve Grade Gilgandra Panthers 38 (Jay Towney 3, Kaleb Sutherland 2, Kyzah Louie, Tim Altmann tries, Alex Sutherland 4, Shane Ritchie goals) defeated Gulgong Terriers 12 (Tyron Reynolds 2 tries, Jai Cain 2 goals).

Newcomer Dave blitzes the field in weekly competition

By NORM LEWIS NINE players contested the weekly Gerries golf competition last Wednesday, an improvement on attendances at previous weeks, but it was a newcomer to town who came along for a game with the regulars and cleaned them all up!

David, an ex-Walgett member, recorded a score of 24 points to take the major prize. Welcome to Narromine, Dave!

Phil White continued his improved form to take second prize with 22 points.

Once again, there was no winner of the Nearest-the-Pin, with the prize adding to the jackpot total. The NAGA prize went to regular player, Chris Harding with a score of 16 points.

Next week, the Gerries play the back nine with the hit-off at the usual time.

That’s all for this week. Hope to see you at the 19th!

In conjunction with the

championships, a handicap division was also played and won by Jason and Kelly McMahon with scores of nett 68 and 67 for a total of 135. Runners-up in the handicap division were Glen and Rielle Smyth, with scores of 69.5 and 71.5 for a total score of 141.

For those not playing in the championships, there was an individual event which was won by Rob Williams with a score of 39 points. On the day, the Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) winners were Rob Williams on the ninth and James O’Connor

On Saturday, the programmed event was a Two-Person Ambrose run as a Charity Day to raise funds for Breast Cancer Australia.

This event attracted a field of 48 players and a total of $1200 was raised for this very worthy cause.

Winners on the day were Rob and Kath Williams with a score of 63.75, from Tony Harding and Jack McCutcheon, who were equal in score, however, they lost on a count-back.

The Ladies Long Drive went to Vicki Gainsford, and Matt Brown won for the men’s division.

A 4BBB will also be played this weekend for trophies

by Tony Harding and Steve Gillette, and the Coonamble Open is also on if you fancy the travel.

If you read the excellent story in last week’s Narromine Star, you’ll know our Junior Clinic is on again this Sunday. Why not get your child into golf?

That’s all for this week. Hope to see you all at the 19th!

Hope to see you on the course!

NARROMINE BOWLING REPORT

Great action on the greens with recent social results

By JOHN EDWARDS, NARROMINE BOWLS CLUB WELL, after spending three weeks in sunny Townsville, it’s good to be back home to the cooler weather.

Social bowls results for last week are as follows.

Play last Thursday included 22 players on the green with three games of triples and a game of pairs.

In the pairs, Rossy and Greg played a 17-17 draw against Neil and Ray. In the triples game one, Jean McIntyre (welcome visitor), Rob C, and Danny, defeated Cliffy, Col, and Frenchy, 21-13.

In the triples game two, Wilkie, Cranky, and Kev, defeated Ian Barling, Mal Gunner (another welcome visitor), and Dave, 18-13.

In the fi nal triples game, Richard, Duane and Buttsy defeated Coen, Bruce, and Homo, 19-15.

Winners on the day were Danny and team, while runners-up were Kev and team.

Last Sunday, 14 bowlers took to the green with two games of pairs and a game of triples played.

In the fi rst game of pairs, Duane and Danny galloped home against Neil and

Dave, 22-4. In the second pairs’ game, Richard and Cranky soundly defeated Noi and Bruce, 20-10.

In triples, Wilkie, Mitch and Henry played an 18-18 draw against Cliffy, Rossy, and Beaver, with winners on the day being Duane and Danny.

Players are invited to the Gub Thorne Bowls Day this Saturday. We have 23 teams already nominated for this popular event, which attracts people from near and far who knew Gub. There is a cost for the day, which includes us feeding you! Bowls will kick-off early and there are great prizes to be won. This has always been a fun day so come along and have a good time.

The Bowling Club is also having a NAIDOC Celebrations Day in late September. This day is in memory of Billy and Normie Newman, two local respected Aboriginal gentlemen who did a lot for the Narromine community and were staunch supporters of the Club.

The day will commence with a flag-raising ceremony and games will kick off after that. There is a cost to play, and it will include us feeding you and the chance to win great prizes.

More details available from the club.

Stay tuned for the next Trivia Night coming up later this month, and our usual twice-weekly raffles.

Joke of the week So, after being on holidays for the last three weeks, I’ve been told by several “old guys” at the Club that I can’t go away anymore, because there has been no write-up (only because they miss the jokes).

“A man on a working trip checked into a motel. There was a computer in the room, so he decided to send his wife an email to let her know he had arrived safely.

However, he typed in the wrong email address, and without realising, it went to a widow who had just returned from her husband’s funeral.

The widow decided to check her emails, expecting condolence messages from family and friends. After reading the fi rst message, she fainted.

Her son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the message on the computer screen which read: “To my loving wife, I’ve just checked into the motel, they have computers here and we are allowed to send emails to loved ones. Hope the kids are well.

“The place is really nice but I am lonely, so I’ve made necessary arrangements for your arrival tomorrow. Expecting you, darling, can’t wait to see you. Your loving husband.”

Until next week — have a good week and good bowling.

Greig bounces back from serious injury to train 2024 Louth Cup winner

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

By COLIN HODGES SERIOUSLY injured earlier this winter when kicked by a horse, Dubbo trainer Connie Greig has bounced back to win the $22,000 Nutrien Walsh Hughes Louth Cup on Saturday with the six-year-old black mare Kalpana.

Kalpana entered the barriers as an $8 chance with most of the 18 bookmakers, with the Rodney Robb, Nyngan trained Notabadidea starting the $3 favourite ahead of Ocean Honour ($3.40) which had won the previous two starts at Gatton and Ipswich in Queensland before being transferred to the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo.

Cobar Cup winner Dancing In The Sky, in front of a huge crowd at the famous NSW outback meeting, led down the straight for the fi rst time in the 2000 metres Cup, with Kalpana settling off the pace in a fast run race.

Rated amongst the leading jockeys in the country areas, Mikayla Weir was riding at Louth for the first time and she saved Kalpana for a late run.

In an exciting fi nish, Kalpana reached the lead over the concluding stages to win by less than a length from Ocean Honour (Georgina McDonnell) and Notabadidea ridden

by Shayleigh Ingelse. First leg of a winning treble for Connie Greig and a double for Mikayla Weir was Real Salty in the 1000 metres Bourke Steel and

Hire Class One Handicap.

After racing outside the leader, Real Salty ($2.80) scored a hard fought win over Kimo (Ken Dunbar, $3.40) and Savvy Statement ($2.80) ridden

by Shayleigh Ingelse.

The other winner for Connie Greig was Individualist ($3.40 favourite) which responded to powerful riding by Andrew Banks to wear down stablemate Chookster (Mikayla Weir, $4.60) and Dhyani (Ken Dunbar, $7) in the 1400 metres Shindys Inn Class Two Handicap.

Dubbo based apprentice Shayleigh Ingelse also had a good day, landing a winning double on Cashmere Inn and D’Arpano.

Leading most of the way, the Stephen Dixon, Tamworth trained Cashmere Inn

($4.60) was a half-length winner of the 1000 metres Port Of Bourke Hotel Maiden Plate from Kingzan (Andrew Banks, $17) and Power Of Hope (Ken Dunbar, $3.50 favourite).

Part-owned by Chris Davis and John De Lyall who play prominent roles with Dubbo Turf Club and trained

by Brett Robb, D’Arpano returned to form in the 1200 metres Arrowfield Stud Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Mr Pointer led by three lengths before D’Arpano ($3.20 favourite) swept home from midfield to account for Lenroy (Andrew Banks, $12) and Distinctive Glory (Billy Cray, $4).

Trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm for Kathryn and Todd Smith, Oojah Capow ($3), well-ridden by Wendy Peel, turned for home with a slen-

der lead and fought on gamely to hold out Penique (Billy Cray, $6) by a half head with the $1.70 favourite Firefi nch (Shayleigh Ingelse fading to third in the 1400 metres Rice’s Back O’ Bourke Cordials Splashe Cola Maiden Handicap. Muswellbrook trainer Krissie Simpkins who had earlier placings with Distinctive Glory and Penique, won the final event, the 1700 metres Sullivans Mining & Industrial and Great Western Hotel Cobar Benchmark 45 Handicap with Chowdah.

Bursting through the pack, Chowdah (Billy Cray, $4.60) arrived in time for a close win over Peak Road (Shayleigh Ingelse, $7) and the Victorian trained Lord Percy (Jessica Brookes, $5).
