Fourth suspicious housefire since June

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Jets’ powerhouse League Tag team has successfully defended its title in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition in Cobar last weekend, defeating the fast fi nishing Coolah Flyers 14-10 to retain the premiership for the second year running.

Team captain Lily Spackman described the win as amazing and paid tribute to her team.

“We made the grand final in 2022 but didn’t win. Then we won last year and to win it again this year with pretty much the same team was really the best feeling,” Ms Spackman told the Narromine Star.

“I really give it to the girls.

We all stuck together and I think that’s what helped us win again this year,” she added.

The team’s great attitude was also supported by a great game plan, Ms Spackman revealed.

“They have one really fast player and we were going out there to stop her, and we stuck to that plan,” she said.

The team didn’t really feel the pressure of the premiership day, having been there before.

They were also undefeated all season and had experienced big wins in the form of the Knockout Shield, the Jess Skinner Cup, and then the Grand Final, Ms Spackman said.

By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST Thursday, the region woke to the news that yet another vacant property had been destroyed by fi re overnight in Narromine.

The Nymagee Street property just a block back from the Narromine Central Business District was the fourth vacant property to be lost to fire since June.

The August 29 blaze came just 11 days after fi re destroyed a vacant social housing property in Temoin Street, Narromine on August 18.

Fires also destroyed homes in Duffy Street in July and Moss Avenue in June this year.

Last week’s blaze is also the latest in a spate of housefi res to plague the town over the last several months, fi rst re-

ported at a Narromine Shire Council-sponsored crime prevention and public safety forum by the local Fire Captain, Lucas Walsh, on July 2. At that event, attendees were told local fi refighters had attended 10 residential house fires over several months.

Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District have commenced an investi-

gation into the circumstances surrounding this latest incident, which they believe is suspicious.

The Narromine Star has asked Police to comment on the spate of fi res and whether an arsonist may be present in the community. We are yet to receive a detailed statement.

NARROMINE Shire will receive a share of $135.85 million allocated for regional NSW roads in the electorates of Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst and Cootamundra, it has been announced.

The council will receive a total of $5.094 million for a shoulder-widening project on the Mitchell Highway at east Narromine, that will also include the installation of a wide centreline.

This is new funding to improve road safety as part of the NSW Government’s existing Towards Zero Safer Roads Program, said NSW Government Duty MLC, Stephen Lawrence.

Narromine’s grant, however, pales in comparison to neighbouring Dubbo Regional Council, which will receive $42.435 million for 10 projects from the same funding pot that is contributing a total of $202 million for regional NSW roads through this program.

“These lifesaving road safety improvements include infrastructure upgrades at high-risk locations, so the improvements will happen in locations around our communities where they are needed most,” Mr Lawrence said.

NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison, said it was an important investment in regional roads and safety.

“We know that regional NSW makes up a third of the NSW population but two-thirds of deaths on our roads happen on country roads,” she said.

“With $202 million to target and improve safe- The Mitchell Highway near Narromine, will receive an upgrade ty on roads in our regional areas, lives will be thanks to a grant from the NSW Government’s Towards Zero Safer Roads Program. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. saved,” she concluded.

Once settled at the zoo, Anjalee was integrated into the female herd, a complex task given the different personalities and herd hierarchy.

Anjalee was then introduced to the zoo’s bull elephants, including 24year old experienced breeder Gung, for social opportunities and relationship building.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo Elephant Supervisor, Joel Kerr described Anjalee as a “sweet-natured and exceptionally intelligent elephant, who learns new behaviours and activities very quickly”.

This will be Anjalee’s fi rst calf and elephant gestation is approximately 22 months long, so there is still a long way to go until the zoo welcomes the newest member to the herd.

Joel Kerr and the other keepers have a lot to do in the coming months as the birth approaches.

“We will be working hard over the next 14 to 15 months to make sure her pregnancy and the birthing process is as smooth as possible, to give Anjalee and her future offspring every chance of success,” he concluded.

You can see Anjalee and the elephant herd at TPWZ, which is open daily.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, September 5, 2024

New bimode dieselelectric hybrids, delivered to Dubbo THE fi rst two trains in the State’s new regional rail fleet have recently been delivered to the purpose-built rail maintenance centre in Dubbo.

These new trains — that will eventually replace the XPT, Endeavour and Xplorer fleets — are bi-mode diesel-electric hybrids, allowing them to run on overhead power when operating on electrified sections of the network.

The trains will also provide new safety features, accessibility, facilities, and reliability for passengers who travel from many NSW regional centres to Sydney, as well as Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane, State Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison said.

“It was great to inspect the new trains in Dubbo today, with two of the 29 new trains now in Australia,” Ms Aitchison said.

“The bi-mode technology of the new regional rail fleet will significantly reduce carbon

emissions and diesel particulates, compared to the current regional fleet,” she added.

In more rail news, from Monday, September 2, a small number of passengers will have the option of bringing bicycles onto the train when they board a select XPT service at Dubbo or Central, without having to put them in a bike box.

“I am also looking forward to seeing the results of the Dubbo XPT trial of roll-on bikes, which will inform the feasibility of such an option for our regional transport network,” Ms Aitchison said.

“I am a passionate advocate for ensuring regional rail passengers can more easily get their bikes onto trains and I want to thank NSW TrainLink, our front-line rail workers, the RTBU and bicycle advocate groups for their cooperation and consultation in the lead up to and during the trial,” she concluded.

Thursday, September 5, 2024 Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region NARROMINE STAR

CWA raises awareness of domestic violence IN the wake of an apparent increase in the number of deaths of Australian women this year at the hands of their intimate partners — and increasing community outrage around the issue — the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW will use its annual Awareness Week campaign this week to highlight the need for ongoing action around reducing rates of gender-based violence across the State.

Running until Saturday, September 7, the 2024 CWA NSW Awareness Week highlights the ongoing crisis around gender-based violence — including domestic and family violence, and also including violence against women by men who are not their intimate partners.

It’s the second time in five years the association has focused its attention for Awareness Week on violence against women, with domestic and family violence chosen as the theme for the 2020 campaign.

However, CWA NSW President Joy Beames said it had become clear this year that it was time to again ramp-up the association’s advocacy efforts aimed at reducing rates of violence.

“This is clearly an enormous issue that is not going away, and this year it seems like it’s just getting worse, with hardly a week going by when we’re not hearing about the senseless and brutal death of anoth-

er Australian woman,” Mrs Beames said.

“As an organisation that represents more than 8000 women across NSW, we feel a responsibility to highlight this problem and the need for more resources and support that can fi nally turn the current direction of these terrible statistics around,” she added.

What’s needed DURING this year’s Awareness Week, the CWA of NSW is calling for: f Further changes to the NSW Bail Act to better protect victims, particularly in rural and regional areas. f Prioritisation of sustainable funding models for frontline victim support services — and services that target potential perpetrator risk factors such as drug, alcohol and gambling issues. f The expediting of the establishment of a real-time system to record, track, and share information on perpetrators across systems and jurisdictions. f Additional resources for women facing violence in rural and regional communities where isolation and lack of services can make it even harder for those looking for support and assistance.

The campaign call is in line with a motion that was unanimously endorsed by delegates at the association’s annual conference in Coffs

Harbour in May. “We knew then this was an issue of the highest priority for our members, and we feel Awareness Week provides the perfect platform for broadcasting our demands for urgent change and reform,” Mrs Beames said.

She said the association was also keen to involve men, particularly the partners of members and other male family and friends, to reinforce the message that everyone must contribute to shifting and changing the aspects of our society and culture that lead to these incidents of violence.

“Everyone must take action against violence when they see it, speak up on the use of violent or oppressive language or comments, understand the myths and bust them when they hear them, or when somebody or something is promoting them,” Mrs Beams said.

“When men stand with women in denouncing the current rates of violence, we all benefit, most importantly our future generations,” she added.

Campaign partners THIS year, the CWA NSW has partnered with Domestic Violence NSW, the peak body for specialist domestic and family violence services in NSW, and The Men’s Table, an Australian non-profit community organisation that provides opportunities for men to meet and discuss issues and chal-

lenges within their lives.

“These organisations are both working incredibly hard to bring about positive change within our communities, acknowledging gender-based violence is a complex issue that will require a whole raft of strategies and initiatives to help turn it around,” Mrs Beames said.

Delia Donovan, CEO of Domestic Violence NSW, emphasised the urgent need to increase funding for victims and support services in non-metropolitan areas.

“As always, the CWA Awareness Week reflects the most pressing concerns for regional and rural communities. Domestic violence does not discriminate but insufficient funding for regional and rural services can isolate women and children seeking pathways to safety,” Ms Donovan said.

“This is why we’re calling on the NSW Government to increase baseline funding for specialist domestic and family violence services in regional, rural and remote areas by at least 50 per cent,” she added.

David Pointon, from The Men’s Table, said positive male peer relationships were important for addressing violence against women and children.

“The Men’s Table focus is on creating safe places for men to share and be vulnerable, and to forge meaningful social connection and a sense of be-

over the laws of nature, and more, so there can be no doubt that he was both man and God. One day, after he fed over 5000 with five loaves and two small fish, some of those who had witnessed this amazing “sign” asked Jesus: “what must we do to do the work God requires?“ (John 6:28).

In other words: “How can we be sure of being accepted by God when we meet Him?“ The reply from Jesus, in the next verse, could be interpreted in two equally valid ways.

The fi rst is the straightforward way, to take it just as it looks — to believe in Jesus who God sent. The second interpretation, to understand feeding all those people was something only God could’ve done. So put your allegiance with the one who carried out the miracle.

Either way, his point is clear. All

longing. These are protective factors against male suicide, isolation and loneliness, as well as against violence,” Mr Pointon said.

“We know from asking men, and also asking the women in their lives, that The Men’s Table creates benefits that ripple beyond the Table: improving relationships, men better able to listen and communicate, better able to understand and manage their emotions, and their stress,” he explained.

“The Men’s Table wants to see an end to violence of all kinds. Positive male peer relationships are a protective factor for reducing violence against women and children, according to the government’s national 10-year plan.”

Ongoing advocacy MRS Beames said the 102-year-old CWA NSW organisation and its multiple branches are vocal advocates for many issues relating to health and safety in the community, and it was imperative to keep this serious community issue in the spotlight.

“The current rates of violence against women pose one of the greatest threats to the lives and wellbeing of females in NSW. This is an issue we must continue to push forward on if we are to help make our communities safer for everyone, no matter their gender,” she concluded.

God requires of us is to believe in Jesus, trust and obey, relying on Jesus. So we can fi nd this way of being right with God, both simple or hard.

Simple because we don’t have to impress God or earn His favour by our performance on earth. As said, the one thing that matters is to believe and follow. But it is hard because of the pride that rules in our sinful hearts. The one thing that keeps most people from obeying and trusting Jesus is admitting that we need him to save us.

Most try enjoying life on self-directed terms,even if there is a desire to hopefully earn enough ‘merit’ along the way for God to grant consent. The only trouble is this is not what Jesus said. But in John 18:37, he did say, “for this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world, to testify to the truth.”

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, September 5, 2024

New money for central west Aboriginal language revival DUBBO, Warren, and Trangie Aboriginal groups are sharing in more than $4 million in grants provided to fund Aboriginal Language projects across the State.

Supporters of the scheme say that Aboriginal languages are central to Indigenous culture and vital to sustaining traditional knowledge and need to be carefully nurtured.

NSW remains the only jurisdiction in Australia to enact legislation that recognises the importance of Aboriginal Languages and establishes mechanisms for a focused investment in their revitalisation and that is a great thing.

The grants are for up to $300,000 and include for events, exhibitions, language classes, and language workshops.

They include A Language Revival Program at Warren through Warraan Widji Arts, the Wayilwan Choir, and youth rock band (Dreaming Drifters) who will record four original songs in Wayilwan language.

These songs will support meaningful development of language learning resources used at Warren Preschool Kindergarten, Warren Central School and St Mary’s Parish School.

In Dubbo, an Aboriginal languages and digital art exhibition will involve Aboriginal artists and language speakers taking digital arts pieces such as photographs and clips and incorporate Aboriginal languages from the Wiradjuri and Wongaibon language nation and exhibit

these at the Wungunja Culture Centre in Trangie.

The Ginhar Indigenous Corporation in Dubbo will also provide a fun, engaging and interactive session of learning Aboriginal Languages from the local community and across NSW with the aim to help people better understand the meaning of the words, history and Aboriginal culture in contemporary society.

The Oyster Tribe “Listening to the Voices of Our Ancestors Program” will also connect community members with the wisdom and knowledge of Wiradjuri Elders, strengthening language, reviving cultural practices, and ensuring our heritage is heard for generations to come.

This program will bring positive change to the community.

The Regional Enterprise Development Institute at Dubbo will also recruit two workers to help expand the Indigenous languages services through face-to-face language workshops, celebratory events will be conducted with community, additional language resources will be developed and made available online to preserve and promote the Traditional Languages of the region.

Other Grants in the region include for Brewarrina participants to be a part of immersive language workshops, where they converse solely in traditional languages, free from English influence, to strengthen language skills and deepen connections to the land.

Another Brewarrina-based project

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK

is for local Dhani Gilbert, to study First Nations Language and Linguistics focussing on Wiradjuri so as to develop a teaching level. This initiative will benefit Wiradjuri community as it will promote community fluency and support the reclamation of language.

A Language Revival Program at Condobolin has also been funded for the Baaka Cultural Centre and Wilcannia Aboriginal Corporation so as to record the Baakantji language for teach purposes.

The Baaka Corporation, as part of the initiative, will procure expert advice on the development of the language to preserve local dialects. The recordings will be used in interactive displays in education and training sessions.

A Language Revival Program at Brewarrina Local Aboriginal Land Council will develop Ngemba language classes, with a mini phrase book with the aim of building the Ngemba language repertoire.

Elders and community language teachers will also enhance the development of the Ngemba Language and foster speech communities, ongoing efforts ensure that traditional languages are spoken in the home, increasing exposure to children.

The Ginhar Indigenous Corporation was also funded to teach learning and speaking of the Murruwarri language by using music and song as an effective approach to engage, learn, share and connect with language.

WE’RE aware that many people in the Shire grow their own produce, including things like lemons and passionfruit. Home-grown produce like these are perfect for this week’s recipe but, of course, you can also use store-bought items as well.

This issue, we’re combining lemon, passionfruit, and a few other ingredients to make a delicious Lemon Passionfruit Slice. Enjoy!

Ingredients 1 cup self-raising flour I cup desiccated coconut 1/2 cup caster sugar 125g butter, melted 395g can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup fresh passionfruit pulp Method Grease a 19cm x 29cm lamington tray and line with paper, extending over the sides of the pan.

Sift flour into a bowl, and stir in the coconut and sugar, then add butter and mix well. Press into the prepared tray.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for about 12 minutes, or until lightly-browned.

Combine condensed milk, lemon juice and passionfruit pulp, mix well, and pour over the cooked base. Return to the oven for 8–10 minutes until the filling is just set.

Cool and refrigerate overnight, and cut into squares or rectangles.

National Flag Day

Catching up with local communities LAST week it was great to spend some time on the road with The Nationals’ candidate for Parkes Jamie Chaffey.

In Coolah, we had discussions with people about the Central-West Orana REZ, which includes the Liverpool Range Wind Farm.

We also heard about some of the other big issues facing Coolah during visits to the Coolah Men’s Shed and Coolah District Development Group, which had received a $2,000 Volunteer Grant to purchase a laptop for the Coolah Historical Society to digitise its archives.

We visited St Michael’s Primary School in Dunedoo to speak to the students about my role and inspect the new fl ags I’d recently sent the school after their old ones were damaged.

We also stopped by the new mural in Dunedoo of local Paralympian Jamieson Leeson who is currently in Paris competing in the 2024 Paralympics in boccia. Best of luck to Jamieson over the coming days!

I HAD the pleasure of attending the 119th Narromine Show on Saturday, what a great day!

The weather was terrific, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying all the different attractions the show had to offer.

Congratulations to the Show committee on putting on such a successful event.

ON Monday this week, the Minister for Police arrived in Dubbo for what was described as a Community Crime Forum.

THIS week marks 123 years since the Australian National Flag was first officially f lown over the dome of the Exhibition Building in Melbourne – the ceremonial opening site of the first Parliament of Australia.

Australian National Flag Day was proclaimed in 1996 as a national day to celebrate the fi rst time the flag was flown on September 3, 1901.

It is an opportunity for individuals, community organisations, local authorities, businesses and schools to celebrate the anniversary of the Australian National Flag.

Our national flag is a symbol of great importance and unites us all in pride for our country.

I encourage all in the Parkes electorate to acknowledge this special day on Tuesday, September 3.

Disaster funding announced LAST week I welcomed the announcement that nine local government areas (LGAs) in the Parkes electorate will receive funding under round two of the Disaster Ready Fund Round.

The Disaster Ready Fund is a program designed to support disaster resilience and risk reduction, by funding projects Everyone agrees that more needs to be done on crime. That’s why the Nationals pushed for a parliamentary inquiry, but the key to its success will be a wide cross-section of consultation with people who are impacted by the problem.

A hastily convened meeting two weeks before a council election, that didn’t include a wide collection of community stakeholders, is nothing more than a political stunt designed to help a particular candidate, and it needs to be called out for what it is. Shame!

LAST week was the fi rst week for this round of Budget Estimates. The Minister for Agriculture and Regional NSW refused to rule out more regional job cuts and wouldn’t rule out the potential sale of regional Research Stations either.

The Minister for Sport

A total of 27 projects were successful in NSW, totalling over $83 million. LGAs set to receive funding for one or more of the successful local projects include Bourke, Cobar, Dubbo Regional, Gunnedah, Lachlan, Moree Plains, Narrabri, Walgett, and Warren.

All of NSW will also benefit from funding to create a Heatwave Hub, an Aboriginal Peoples Engagement Program and a pilot to study the safety of couldn’t answer a single question about the Dubbo Sports Hub or advise when Dubbo might see shovels in the ground for this crucial project.

The Premier had absolutely no idea what the intended capacity was for the Central West Orana REZ, nor could he give any details on the promised paramedics to the region.

An election promise to boost our regional health workforce with 500 intensive care and extended care paramedics has been broken.

We’ve also now discovered that more than 1000 police officers have left the force in the last year. In the Budget Estimates hearing it was revealed the police force is 2279 officers below its authorised strength, which is almost double the gap of 1000 officers that was recorded in December 2023.

2024 Local Government Elections

Meet the candidates

Melanie Pryde of Narromine was the first person to publicly say they were running for Council, months before nominations opened. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

THE Narromine Star is pleased to print more statements from candidates contesting the Narromine Shire Council election on September 14.

There are 15 candidates in total and all have been invited to submit statements about their candidacy.

The fi nal opportunity to do so will be in next week’s edition, which is published two days before the election.

We have also asked the candidates some questions about important issues in the shire, and hope to publish those in next week’s edition as well.

Melanie Pryde MY name is Melanie Pryde, and I am thrilled to be running as an independent candidate for Narromine Shire Council.

Having moved to Narromine four years ago, I am proud to call this community home, raising two children who attend school here, and running my own local business.

My focus is on enhancing animal control and fostering town growth, while also working to bridge the gap between the Council and the community. I am committed to improving the overall quality of life in Narromine for future generations.

With a background as a business owner and a former nurse, I have developed strong empathy and people skills.

Throughout my career, I’ve built rapport with hundreds of clients and patients, honing my abilities in customer service, time management, team building, communication, and critical thinking.

These experiences have equipped me with the confidence to engage effectively with constituents and advocate for positive change.

I am passionate about several key issues that are vital to

Trangie farmer Peter Howe is contesting the local government election for the Narromine Shire later this month. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Narromine’s future, including: f Animal Control: advocating for humane and effective animal management strategies. f Infrastructure Improvement: enhancing local amenities and public services. f Economic Development: supporting local businesses and encouraging sustainable growth. f Environmental Sustainability: promoting practices that protect and preserve our natural environment. f Community Safety: prioritising safety initiatives to create a secure environment for all residents. f Education and Youth Programs: investing in the future by supporting educational and youth engagement opportunities. f Transparent Governance: ensuring Council operations are open, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of all.

I believe in fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued.

Together, we can build vibrant community spaces, promote sustainable living, and create inclusive opportunities for all.

With a focus on smart growth, tech-forward innovation, cultural richness, and health and wellbeing, I am dedicated to ensuring a prosperous future for our youth and all residents.

I invite you to join me on this journey towards a brighter future for Narromine.

Authorised by Melanie Pryde, 29 Waterford Cct, Narromine NSW 2821.

Peter Howe A VISION for a better Narromine Shire.

The Howe family has been farming in the Trangie-Narromine area since 1896, with my great-grandfather serving

as the fi rst station master in Trangie. I, Peter Howe, am the fourth generation on our family farm, with the fi fth generation eagerly awaiting their turn to continue the legacy.

I was educated in Trangie and Narromine schools, and our mixed farming operation includes stud sheep, cattle, and crops.

In the late ‘90s and early 2000s, I was appointed by the Minister to represent stock and domestic interests on water issues, serving for five years.

My passion for the Narromine Shire runs deep, and I fi rmly believe it can become an even better place to live with a more inclusive and responsive council.

Despite paying substantial rates, which have been increasing annually, we are receiving fewer and fewer services. This needs to change.

Here are the key areas I believe we must address: f Equal Treatment for All: every resident deserves to be treated with equality and fairness. f Improved Access for Landholders: better access roads are essential, and sealed road maintenance programs must be upgraded to a higher standard. f Protect Rural Land: no rural land should be rezoned to E5 “Hazardous and Offensive Materials Waste,” ensuring our community is safeguarded against potential health risks. f Inclusive Community Consultation: all community members, including local Aboriginal businesses and younger generations, should be consulted on upcoming projects within the Narromine Shire. f Support for Lifestyle Blocks: we should enable Trangie, Narromine, and Tomingley to offer lifestyle blocks, allowing families to enjoy the rural atmosphere. f Business Growth and

Narromine resident, business owner and volunteer Chris Kelly is contesting the Narromine Shire Council election.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Zoning Protection: local businesses should not lose their industrial zoning and must be allowed to continue operating with opportunities for expansion. f Improved Flood Level Assessment: f lood levels in Narromine need better evaluation to allow for building development. f Back to Basics for Council: the council must return to basics, ensuring transparency, accountability, and better public consultation in their fi nancial dealings.

It’s up to you, the people, to make the change. The only way to start this process is to vote for new blood in the council.

Authorised by Peter Howe, 558 Howes Rd, Trangie 2823 NSW

Christine Kelly I WAS born in Sydney and attended school at Wellington before marrying local boy Peter Kelly and moving Narromine many, many decades ago.

Peter and I had four children, Carolyn, Roger, Robyn and Suzanne, who we raised in the community.

Sadly Peter passed away 13 years ago but I have continued to stay here and continue my work, which includes extensive volunteering.

I’m very proud to say I’ve been a volunteer for 50 years of my life, and I don’t intend to stop.

Why am I running for council? Transparency, honesty, and consultation have been lacking for some time in my view, and I’ve been approached by the public to stand for civic office. So I am. I want to be on council with at least four other new, strong representatives to make sure bad decisions don’t happen again.

Council owns the Craigie Lea, Narwonah, block already

(it is proposed to zone it E5 Heavy Industrial), and plans to build on it now.

Instead of that horrible thing, how about a speedway tra.ck, or a huge old woolshedstyle community hall where dances, balls, weddings and functions are held? Or fence it in and turn it into a skate hall, picture theatre or motorbike track? It is big enough for all of them.

I also want to make the shire’s pools free to enter, or bring the price down so all kids can use them instead of swimming in the river. I also want to heat the pools so they can be used all year round.

I would also like to put in more things to entertain young people, like junior golf courses for kids. I’d like the council to do more to encourage rodeos to come here.

The pavilions at the showgrounds sit idle for 99 per cent of the year. Narromine’s showgrounds pavilion needs a cool room, bar, toilet and kitchen so the facility can be put to use as a public hall.

A town museum is needed and how about a small country art gallery? Find out through public consultation what the communities of Narromine, Trangie and Tomingley want and need locally. The more we have here, the more people will want to come here and build their businesses and homes.

These options are more appealing than toxic waste furnaces, melting down plastic facilities, wind turbines, batteries and solar farms.

It is up to you, Narromine, Trangie and Tomingley, to change what is happening.

Vote for a new council with a new outlook. These are great towns in which to live. Let’s keep them that way!

2024 Local Government Elections

A councillor since 1999, Les Lambert is seeking re-election at next week’s Narromine Shire Council election.

Narromine farmer Judy Smith has put her hand up as a candidate for the forthcoming Narromine Shire Council election.

Diane Sharpe (Beaumont) is seeking re-election at the forthcoming Narromine Shire Council election.

Les Lambert BORN in Wilcannia on Barkindji land, I came to Narromine on Wiradjuri land in 1988 to teach at St Augustine’s Parish School.

In 1992, I changed vocation after a bout of pneumonia and became a community health worker at Narromine Hospital. I drove the daycare/respite bus picking up the elderly of the community. This I did for over 20 years.

I still continue working for the elderly by being a Community Driver and coordinate four other drivers.

Since being elected to Narromine Shire Council in 1999, I have not voted for anything (chemical storage shed, bike track, waste-to-energy facility) that I would not be happy to have next door to me. If I don’t want it next to me, why should I put it next to someone else?

In my time on council (25 years), Narromine has never been more progressive than it has been in the last five years. More streetlights (still not enough), more streets kerbed and guttered, more footpaths built, and more rural roads have been upgraded and sealed.

This next term of council needs to have both experience and new voices to continue the progressiveness of Narromine Shire. I ask that you use both

your head and your heart when you cast your vote.

Authorised by Les Lambert, 26 Merilba Street, Narromine NSW 2821.

Diane Sharpe (Beaumont) HI my name is Diane Sharpe (Beaumont) and was a Bogan-born girl before moving into Narromine.

I have worked in the rural industry for most of my life, and still do. Taking a break from it to join the Army, 101 Transport Company in Randwick, gave me an insight to city living. Not for me!

The country’s pumpkiness comes out in me and I enjoy working in the agriculture industry (sheep, cattle, horses and dogs).

Having served on the current term of Narromine Shire Council has opened my eyes to the many facets of local government. I would like to continue as a community voice on Narromine Shire Council.

Being a cancer survivor, I am very aware of the health of our small community. Two areas that still play on my mind are aged care and the need for more, and children/junior sport, with our sporting facilities needing to be continually upgraded through grants.

Thank-you for your service, Dawn IT really is a sad day to report on the retirement of Deputy Mayor, Dawn Collins.

Dawn has decided to call it a day after 22 years on Council, during which time she has been not only a very effective councillor, but also an amazing advocate for our Shire.

Dawn joined Council in December 2002. She became the Mayor in September 2007 and remained in the role until September 2010.

Dawn has been a beacon for the Shire. She has been the most honest, dedicated and

Judy Smith A HIGH school teacher for more than 20 years, I taught at Trangie Central School for 14 years. I’m a farmer and the current custodian of the family farm.

I’ve lived in the Narromine Shire for 30+ years but my mum’s (Jean Woods) family have lived in various places across the shire for over 100 years. If you come across a Woods or a Whittle, chances are they are related! I live on a farm with my husband, Darren, and our two sons, Patrick and Andrew.

Narromine Shire is my home. I love living here and have no desire to live anywhere else. I want the best for our community as I hope that my family will still be living here in another hundred years.

It’s this love of home, family and wanting the best for the future for our part of the world

decent person you could hope to meet. She has been an incredible mentor to many new councillors and the person whom I have sought advice from.

Dawn has been a volunteer in many local organisations, including the Aero Museum and at the cemetery.

Her contribution to the shire has been enormous, and on behalf of her fellow councillors and her many friends, I wish her well in the coming years.

Many thanks, Dawn.

Shire

that has driven me to run for council. I’ve attended every council meeting this year and have grown increasingly concerned about the decisions and directions being taken.

As the local government elections approached, I concluded it was ‘put up or shut up’ time and since I couldn’t shut up, I’ve put my hand up.

The current council has forged ahead with its plans to rezone RU1 agricultural land to Heavy Industrial E5 at Narwonah, despite prolonged and substantial community opposition. E5 zoning would allow all manner of ‘hazardous and offensive’ industries and storage with significant risk of harm to human health and the environment. These are unacceptable risks to the community and my opposition is steadfast.

The rezoning at Narwonah also leaves us open to the government declaring State Significant Projects such as a waste-to-energy incinerator.

This will greatly reduce our ability to decide what projects are given the go-ahead in our community. Narromine Shire is our home and we should be the ones to decide what projects are appropriate for our home and future.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Inspiring student, Paul, made a special mark at Narromine High IN 1977, I was appointed manager of the ANZ Bank in Narromine.

I held that position until 1981, when I resigned from the bank to build the Stockman Motor Inn/ Restaurant, which my wife Jeanette continued to operate, until we sold the business and moved north to Queensland in 1989.

We had three children — Paul, Janelle and Tracey. All of the children attended school in Narromine and Dubbo.

The reason for this letter is to inform those of you who may remember our family that our

cluding the US, Japan and Europe are shutting down their incinerators due to factors such as ‘forever chemical’ contamination, human health issues, and lowering recycling rates. We should be able to learn from the mistakes of others without the need to make the same very costly mistakes ourselves.

What has been lacking in recent times is community consultation. The most important thing a councillor can do is listen to what the community has to say.

I would like to see councillors visit each town at least once a month (on different days, times and venues) to be accessible and hear fi rsthand people’s thoughts on the issues that matter to them.

That’s what representation is all about. A council that doesn’t engage with their residents cannot hope to understand what is important to them or effectively represent their interests.

Please feel free to pull me up for a yarn if you see me around the traps. I would love to know what is important to you and what is your vision for the future.

I love to have a chat — just ask my family!

Authorised by Judy Smith, 1275 Backwater Road, Narromine NSW 2821.

beautiful and talented son, Paul, passed away aged 60 on August 1, 2024, in Canada, where he has lived since 2006. Sadly, we also lost our baby Tracey in 2014.

Many of your readers will remember Paul, as he was the fi rst totally-blind student to attend Narromine High and was a talented musician, taking part in all the local musical events, usually involving raising funds for the local Spastic Association.

Paul also travelled to the USA as a representative of the local Lions Club as an exchange student.

Hoping you can fi nd time and space for this letter in your paper. Thank you.

119th Show a great success

Rotarians Nesto Falcione, Jack Cooper and John Sinclair cooked up a storm at the show.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

ORGANISERS could not have asked for a better day to celebrate the 119th Narromine Show last weekend. The beautiful warm weather and light breeze brought out the crowds on Saturday, August 31, with a steady stream of people passing through the gates all day.

The Narromine Star spoke to a range of people at the event, including the hard working volunteers who helped make the Show possible, entrants whose work was proudly displayed in the Alkane Resources’ Jenny Berryman Pavilion, high school Ag students, general showgoers, and local businesses showcasing their products to the community.

Everyone agreed that it was a beautiful day to be at the show and they were impressed with what was on offer.

The Narromine Star certainly wore out our running shoes as we made our way around the Narromine Showgrounds to see everything we possibly could while we were there.

We started with the impressive displays of agricultural machinery, 4WD vehicles, and emergency service displays that greeted us upon entry.

Lots of small children en-

thusiastically eyed off the giant wheels on the Hutcheon & Pearce and Michell’s ag equipment, and took the chance to have their photo taken in the State Emergency Service rescue boat.

It was the fi rst time at the Show for new resident Phil Austin, who recently joined the local brigade of the Rural Fire Service (RFS) and was with his teammates staffing the RFS display.

“I’ve just moved to Narromine and joined the RFS because I wanted to contribute to the community,” Mr Austin said.

Like other volunteer groups participating at the show, including the organisers, the Narromine Agricultural Show Society, the RFS could use a few more people to swell their ranks.

So could Narromine Rotary Club, the community service stalwarts hauling their iconic food van to the Narromine Show for the last time before selling the van at the end of 2024. The club was doing brisk business as one of several food vendors on site at the Show, but the success of the day was a little bittersweet for club members.

Club president, John Sinclair said the impending re-

tirement of the van from service was disappointing for the community, because it had generated so many donations to local, national and international causes over the years.

“We just can’t operate this with the number of people we have in the club,” he added.

We missed the junior quests on our tour, but caught the action in the ring where the beef cattle were being shown and paraded, then headed over to the equestrian events.

We spoke to equestrian course builder Ian Menzies, who had planned the course for the two-phase showjumping.

“I like to create good flowing courses,” he said, indicating the day’s course included a five-stride and two-stride setup for horses between certain jumps. Competitors got to walk the course beforehand to work out where they needed to go, he added.

Mr Menzies agreed the recent Olympic Games in Paris has spiked interest in equestrian events.

From there we visited the Tractor Pull and a local farming family kindly gave this journalist a quick education into what the event actually was all about. We saw our good friend JD Mann, a self-confessed “tractorphile”

who’s usually under a tractor if not driving one, compete in the Tractor Pull. He had two vintage tractors in this year’s show, one of which won a prize for “best presented tractor.”

From the Tractor Pull it was rides of a different sort that drew us to the sideshow alley. The Dodgem Cars were very popular, and some brave souls ventured onto the gravity-defying big sideshow rides, while activities for smaller children also drew their fair share of patrons.

The sheepdog trials were next on the list, and it was fascinating to see the dogs at work. This had also drawn quite a crowd of spectators.

We then ventured down to see the pens and ran into three students from Narromine High’s agricultural program, Shannon Rule, Hannah Preston and Ricky Wicks, who were justifiably proud that their team scooped the prize pool with their Dorper sheep and poultry. Four champions, one grand champion and three reserves, no less. Fantastic efforts! The school has written up their fi ne efforts in a separate story for this issue.

After a quick pitstop at the poultry pavilion, we headed into the Alkane Resources Jenny Berryman Pavilion

and marvelled at the tremendous display of creative talents on offer. The exceptional handicrafts, baking and preserves, photography, floral and produce displays, supported by all the school entries from students of all ages was just beautiful.

We spoke with Carol Mitchell and her great-granddaughter Aaliyrah Mitchell-Whaley, 12, both of whom won several prizes in the baking and preserves sections.

It was the second year that young Aaliyrah had entered the show and this time round she won even more categories, her proud great-gran told the Narromine Star.

“I love cooking with Nan,” Aaliyrah said.

“I can’t believe how many kids have done things for the show,” Mrs Mitchell said.

We weren’t present for the end of day activities, including the scheduled smash up derby and evening entertainment, but we could see the fi reworks display from our home and thought it was a great way to end what was an amazing day at the show.

We hope you enjoy the snapshots we took of the 119th Narromine Show.

Fourth suspicious housefire since June

From page 1

Residents in fear

Flames through the roof

IF authorities are not speaking publicly about the spate of fi res, some of which are considered suspicious, residents certainly are. Social media is awash with discussion and personal theories.

However, some residents are also living in fear of what might come, as all four recent fires that have completely destroyed houses in the town have occurred in vacant properties.

The Narromine Star has been told about an elderly resident on Narromine’s southside who fears the vacant property adjoining her home could be a future target.

A local businesswoman who has asked not to be named has also told this masthead of a vacant property at an address on Narromine’s northside that she feels will also be a future target.

“I’ve got money on it being the next house to go up,” the businesswoman said.

“W hen are they going to make a mistake and hit a house with people in it?” an elderly gentleman spec-

THE Narromine Star spoke to the person who reported the Nymagee Street fi re by calling Triple Zero. The local man, who asked not to be identified but lives near the site, said he was alerted by his dogs barking and the strong smell of smoke.

“There was smoke and fire coming out of the roof,” he said.

Five fire trucks and 20 firefighters from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) at Narromine, Trangie, Delroy and Dubbo responded to the early morning callout around 5am.

Rural Fire Service firefighters, police and ambulance also responded.

Firefighters wearing airsets immediately began attacking the fi re with lines of hose, a FRNSW spokesperson said of the incident.

At 6.19am, crews reported that the fi re was contained but continued to work at the site, checking for hot spots and ensuring the fi re was fully extinguished.

ulated over a cof fee at the local bakery.

Another resident who has lived in Narromine for 25 years and is currently caretaking a property, who also spoke to us on the condition of anonymity, said the spate of fi res is disturbing.

“For a small town, the number of fi res is concerning.

There’s something wrong somewhere,” the resident said.

CCTV THE Nymagee Street property is a block away from the intersection with Dandaloo Street, which has a council-owned CCTV camera mounted on a pole with a clear and direct view to the incident site.

The Narromine Star is aware of an unconfi rmed report that footage from an unidentified source allegedly shows a person at the scene of the Nymagee Street property prior to the incident.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Narromine Shire Council said the organisation’s CCTV network is used to enhance community safety and crime minimisation, and

can be accessed by Police.

“NSW Police can access Council’s CCTV surveillance system at any time, thereby reducing response times to priority incidents, monitoring public assets, and gathering evidence for prosecution,” the spokesperson said.

Time needed for investigations NARROMINE Mayor, Cr Craig Davies, said he understood local frustrations with lack of public information about the fi res, but asked the community to let Police and fi re crews do their jobs.

“I hope people give the Police clear air and allow them to do the incredible job we know they do. Similarly, the fi reys are fi rst responders and put themselves in danger every time they turn up to a fi re,” Cr Davies said.

“I would guess an investigation is underway and [Police] are unable to say anything at all, and I think the community will be accepting of that situation. Given that, I also believe like everyone else in Narromine that there is a strong

possibility of an arsonist at work,” he added.

State MP Dugald Saunders is also concerned about the fi res but supports Police efforts.

“I am concerned with the increase in the number of fi res in Narromine,” Mr Saunders said.

“Both Police and Fire and Rescue will be doing their respective jobs in investigating and determining causes, and I support them in their efforts,” he added.

Do you have information?

AS inquiries continue, anyone with information about the Nymagee Street incident or any of the other fires that have occurred in Narromine in recent months, or who may have dashcam or CCTV from these areas, is urged to contact Narromine Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Information provided to Police is treated in strict confidence. The public is also reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.

Trangie Action Group Christmas Party 2024

By PAT RILEY, TRANGIE ACTION GROUP WITH Christmas looming in the not-too-distant future, Trangie Action Group (TAG) is again putting plans together for the annual festive season celebration to be held at the RSL Club on Saturday December 14.

As in past years, TAG members are working to organise an event that will offer something for everyone.

Children’s activities are still in the planning stage but, by all accounts, will

prove popular with the younger generation. The barbecue and bar will also be operating, with Santa as a special guest, and the wonderful prizes of the monster raffle aiming to make the evening for several lucky winners.

Other activities include the chocolate wheel, which will provide patrons with the opportunity to win either a ham, a box of prawns, or vouchers to be redeemed at local shops.

The ‘shop locally’ campaign will also start in November, and

will run through until mid-December.

In order to enter this competition, shoppers are asked to save their dockets to the total of $100, write their name on the back, and place them in the receptacles provided at participating shops and be at the event on the night to claim your prize.

Several Shop Local draws will take place over the course of the evening, with the big one for $750 scheduled for 9pm.

More updates to come.

The school was transformed into a “storybook wonderland”, with students dressed as beloved characters from their favourite titles.

From classic tales to contemporary stories, the parade highlighted the creativity and enthusiasm of the students.

Parents and community members gathered to cheer on the participants, celebrating the joy

of reading and the importance of storytelling in education.

The event was a resounding success, fostering a love of literature among the students and bringing the school community together.

In other news this week, our Year Six class also took the initiative to host a Cupcake Day for the whole school!

The money raised will be donated to the Narromine Cancer Support Group. We are very proud of their efforts and thoughtfulness.

Sport CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE GRAND FINALS

‘Roos’ triumphant return season win!

By BRYSON LUFF FOR the triumphant Coolah Kangaroos, it feels like the fi rst time!

Having only this year returned to top fl ight bush footy, the ‘Roos celebrated their comeback with an emphatic victory over the Cobar Roosters to claim the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League First Grade premiership.

Having beaten the ‘Roos just a couple of weeks ago in the major semi-final and playing on their beloved Tom Knight Memorial Oval in front of a huge number of Cobar supporters, the Roosters would have liked their chances of adding to their trophy cabinet going into Saturday’s Grand Final.

However, it was to be the visitors — who certainly also had their share of followers at the ground — that got away to great start after their centre, Josh Charles made a strong charge at the line in the sixth minute which attracted a number of defenders. His quick play-the-ball, allowed for a shift to his winger Jake Burgess, who was able to step inside a number of scrambling defenders, to go over wide-out for a 4-0 lead.

Play then moved from endto-end with both sides constantly reverting from defence to attack, until Charles was able to spear over under the posts mid-way through the half to make it 10-0.

Not long after, a Rooster was dispatched to the sin-bin for holding a player down after the ‘Roos had made a long incursion into Cobar territory, and it didn’t take long for Coolah to take the advantage of having the extra man with

Fairy-tale return of Coolah to the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, after the Kangaroos won this year’s First Grade Grand Final at Cobar on the weekend.

More action from the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Grand Finals played at Cobar on the weekend, including Narromine Jets tight tussle to retain the Ladies League Tag title, 14-10 against the Coolah Flyers. front-rower Casey Burgess barging over from close range and, with Dan Lane adding the extras, Coolah’s lead had ballooned out to 16-0!

Cobar steadied the ship to some extent, when their centre Nathan McAndrew benefited from some nice ball work out the back line to make it 16-4.

This seemed to lift the Roosters and, not long after a Coolah player was sin-binned with 10 minutes to go in the fi rst half, they were in again when Tim Hillam, their second-rower, was able to force his way over and things were looking decidedly better for the home side with the scoreboard now reading 16-8.

However, they were not to go to the sheds at the break with the same score after Coolah’s Jayden Brown was able to ground a perfectly-placed grubber kick from Chanse Burgess out wide and, with Lane landing the conversion from the sideline, the ‘Roos trooped off with a very handy 14-point lead, the scoreboard reading 22-8.

The resumption of play included no further change to the score, until more than three-quarters of the game had elapsed. At that point Jake Burgess scored his second try after being on the end of a sweeping backline movement, but up until then, the two sides had again both been called on to pull-out some heavy defensive work at various stages.

With the scoreboard reading 26-8, the Cobar side’s play began to fall away, with their handling in particular becoming sloppy as they tried desperately to make some inroads into the Coolah defence.

Coolah’s captain, Chanse

Burgess, put the icing on the premiership cake, when he scored with four minutes remaining, Lane completing proceedings with a conversion and a fi nal score of 32-8.

The win by the Kangaroos completed a remarkable year for the club, with their FirstGrade side losing just the one game, that being to Cobar in the Major Semi. They also had their Ladies League Tag team, the Coolah Flyers, feature on Grand Final day, going down narrowly to the unbeaten Narromine Jets.

The Flyers were well in the contest with the score 4-4 at half-time and then 10-10 well into the second-half, until a Jet’s try with seven minutes remaining in the game breaking the deadlock and delivering them a 14-10 victory and back-to-back premierships.

The Youth League decider between the Cobar Roosters and the Gulgong Bull Terriers also featured a close and exciting game, with extra time having to be played after the two sides were locked together 1212 at the end of regulation time.

In the end the home side just prevailed, winning 18-16 much to the delight of the vast Cobar crowd.

The opening game of the day saw the Gilgandra Panthers and the Baradine Magpies clash in Reserve Grade, with the Gilgandra side scoring four tries to three to come away with an 18-14 win.

Individual players were recognised for their efforts throughout the year and in the grand fi nals.

Gilgandra’s Curtis Carr, for one, was named the Player of the Grand Final in the Reserve Grade, whilst Cobar’s young gun, Reece Josephson, won

both the Castlereagh Youth League Player of the Year award as well as being named the Player of the Grand Final.

Shian Chatfield, from the Narromine Jets, was awarded the Castlereagh League, League Tag player of the Year award, whilst her teammate, Emily Edwards, was acknowledged as the Player of the Grand Final.

In First Grade, Coolah’s hard-running centre, Josh Charles, who has been a standout for his team throughout the semis, continued his good recent form and was awarded the Player of the Grand Final award, whilst Gulgong’s Brad James became the first player in the history of Castlereagh rugby league to win the Player of the Year Award for the third time.

Warren Bulldogs officials could be looking next year to repeat the fairy-tale return of Coolah to the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, after the Kangaroos won this year’s Grand Final.

Castlereagh League officials are eagerly looking forward to the 2025 season, which will begin in earnest when the AGM will be held in November, with a key item on the agenda, being an application from the local team to rejoin the competition after a number of years in recess.

“He came in for some cough syrup,” the assistant explained.

“But I couldn’t find any, so I gave him laxatives instead”.

“What!” the pharmacist said, horrified.

“You can’t treat a cough with laxatives!”

“Of course you can,” the assistant declared.

“Look at him, he’s far too scared to cough”.

Heavy support in the betting ring for Quiet Approach ($3 to $1.80 favourite) failed to bear fruit when the Scone trained galloper missed a place in the 1100 metres AJF Brien and Sons and Gatsby Pastoral Maiden Handicap.

Trained at Dubbo by Brett Robb, La Magia (Georgina McDonnell, $3.20) led most of the way to beat Montido (Will Stanley, $15) and Calmundi (Jessica Brookes, $6).

FOR Veterans, the Annual Trangie Vets Open is being played as we read this very edition of the Narromine Star today! Results will be reported next week.

The Veteran golfers will also play their monthly nine–hole

event on Saturday in conjunction with the Club Stroke Monthly Medal round. The Vets event will be on the front nine.

Also coming up is the Veterans big weekend later this month, when they play the NSWVGA Men’s Fourball Sand Greens State Championship. Hopefully it will attract a large field of Veteran golfers to Narromine for this competition; and there will be a competition each day for the Ladies as well.

It is the 10th year running the Club has conducted this event, and it should be a great weekend for Narromine.

That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th.

Back-to-back wins for Narromine Jets’ League Tag team PHOTOS: PETER SHERWOOD PHOTOGRAPHY.

From page 1 “It was Coolah’s fi rst year back in the comp and we had only played them once so it was a bit unpredictable. But what got us the win was our attitude because we were pretty positive,” Ms Spackman said.

The 15-member team, coached

by Lea Clarke, was also rewarded with major player awards going to Shian Chatfield, who received the Castlereagh League’s League Tag Player of the Year award, and teammate Emily Edwards was acknowledged as the Player of the Grand Final.

“We pretty much took out all you could win on the day,” Ms

Spackman laughed.

Although it was a nice day out for spectators, players really felt the heat of the day out on the field, Ms Spackman said.

“The whole game in general for both teams was [difficult] because it was so hot. We had to preserve energy and use it when needed,” she explained.

As the team looks forward to the end of season rest and the club’s presentation night later this month, they are indeed eyeing a hat trick for 2025.

“We’ll have to copy the Panthers and go for number three!”

Ms Spackman concluded.

Two in a row: the victorious Narromine Jets’ League Tag team celebrate in Cobar.
