Local “Dad’s Army” to be fires herald honoured as memorial start of golf day returns bushfire season By SHARON BONTHUYS
By SHARON BONTHUYS JUST a day after the Rural Fire Service (RFS) issued a reminder to the community last week to prepare themselves and their homes for the upcoming bushfi re season, separate grass fi res occurred in two rural locations outside Narromine. A fi re also occurred on the weekend at the Trangie Waste Depot. RFS crews were called out to fi res occurring at properties on Pinedene Road south of Narromine and Tantitha Road east of Narromine on Thursday, September 19. The fi rst fi re was reported at Pinedene Road at 7am that day which was attended by three fi refighters with two trucks. Once on scene, crews found an area of approximately 50 metres x 10 metres smouldering. Firefighters extinguished the area and ceased operations by approximately 8am.

THE significant contribution of an extraordinary group of local golfers who are sadly no longer with us will be honoured with the return of the highly-anticipated Dad’s Army Golf Day in Narromine early next month. First held in 2019, the annual Two-Person Ambrose event — traditionally played on the Labour Day Long Weekend in October — was initially interrupted by the pandemic restrictions and, later, by the staging of the Dolly Parton Festival at the Narromine Golf Club on that same weekend. With the festival concert relocating to Cale Oval this year, however, the door has opened enabling the Dad’s Army Golf Day to make a welcome return to Narromine Golf Club. The moniker “Dad’s Army” was given to a group of wellknown local fi gures who, over several decades, played at both the Narromine Club (and further afield): Jack Cale, Sid McCutcheon, Jack Burgess, John Gainsford, Geoff Swane, Bryce Crawford, and Bill Burke. Coming from a variety of

Candidate scrutineers attend ballot check count By SHARON BONTHUYS AS the Narromine Star went to print yesterday, a check count of votes from the recent Narromine Shire Council election was underway at the Dubbo region returning office (RO) of the NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) in Wellington. Candidates were invited to field scrutineers at the check count, following complaints made by some of the 15 independent candidates about the counting of pre-poll votes on election night, September 14. The NSWEC had previously told candidates - and publicly stated on its website, which we reported - that the pre-poll votes would not be counted until after September 16. However, the NSWEC’s Virtual Tally Room (VTR) soon showed on election night that pre-poll votes were being counted after the close of voting. Some of the candidates had elected not to appoint scrutineers for the counting on election night, believing only those votes made in person on election day at the polling stations in Tomingley, Trangie, and Narromine would be counted. The Narromine Star has seen a communication from the NSWEC in relation to the check count on September 25. “Dear candidates, incorrect information was previously provided about the date of the initial count for the Narromine pre-poll. That initial count was completed on election night,” the communication states. Candidates were informed that they “may appoint a scrutineer to observe the check count of the Narromine pre-poll ballot papers” on Wednesday (yesterday). The NSWEC issued an apology for the error and the inconvenience. Candidates who spoke with the Narromine Star about this expressed their frustration with the process to 10 mm. Chance of any rain: 70% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Cloudy. Medium chance of showers, most likely in the morning. Winds southeasterly 25 to 35 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to between 4 and 8 with daytime temperatures reaching between 16 and 19. Sun protection recommended from 8:50 am to 3:00 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 7 [High] Saturday, September 28 Min 7. Max 21. Partly cloudy. Chance of any rain: 20% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of a shower on the northern slopes in the morning. Near zero chance of rain elsewhere. Winds east to southeasterly 20
and the inconvenience of organising for their scrutineers to be available on September 25 in Wellington for the check count.
How are votes counted? THE NSWEC website describes the process as follows: “Counts are conducted using a combination of manual counting (initial count) and data entry into the NSWEC computer count system (check count),” the website explains. “The check count comprises of batching which is counting the ballot papers into bundles of 25 without examining the preferences, and data entry (two rounds of data entry known as round one and round two and a reconciliation process).” The check count will be reported on the VTR progressively after the check count is completed for a venue or a vote type, the NSWEC website indicates. The progressive distribution of preferences will start on September 30 and end on October 2, according to the NSWEC website.
Are we there yet? THIS is the question being asked all over social media at present, with shire residents keen to know who has successfully made it onto the new council. It is difficult to know what the proportional quota is for election in the Narromine shire, however, given this is influenced by the number of people who actually voted and that is not confirmed at this time. The Narromine shire profi le on the NSWEC website states that the shire has 4703 electors (registered voters). At the time of writing, 3756 votes have been counted, which is just shy of 80 per cent of the registered voters. Counting of postal votes received is underway, with 265 postal votes
to 30 km/h becoming light during the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 3 and 8 with daytime temperatures reaching between 19 and 24. Sun protection recommended from 8:40 am to 3:10 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 7 [High] Sunday, September 29 Min 7. Max 23. Partly cloudy. Possible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm. Chance of any rain: 30% Monday, September 30 Min 8. Max 24. Possible shower. Possible rainfall: 0 to 1 mm. Chance of any rain: 40% Tuesday, October 1 Min 7. Max 24. Sunny. Chance of any rain: 20%
counted already. Postal voting closes this Friday, September 27. Unless there is a rush of postal votes arriving before this Friday, it could be that up to 20 per cent of people eligible to vote may not have actually done so. That in itself would suggest an extraordinary level of voter apathy, and is difficult to understand considering the high level of voter interest in local issues in this recent election campaign. Some four-and-a-half per cent of votes (168) currently counted have been informal, according to the NSWEC VTR. The progressive declaration of results will start on October 1 and end on Thursday, October 3.
Numbers so far AT the time of writing, the top nine candidates by the number of fi rst preference votes are as follows: f Ewen Jones (587) - Narromine f Craig Davies (498) - Trangie f Judy Smith (421) - Narromine f Brian Leak (420) - Narromine f Stacey Bohm (367) - Narromine f Peter Howe (330) - Trangie f Lachlan Roberts (206) - Trangie f Adine Hoey (176) - Trangie f Rowan James (138) - Trangie. Les Lambert of Narromine has recorded just 12 fi rst-preference votes less than Rowan James (126). The remaining candidates have all currently polled under 100 votes each - Fiona Barbary (98, Tomingley), Christine Kelly (94, Narromine), Vaughan Ellen (91, Narromine), Melanie Pryde (20, Narromine) and Diane Sharpe (20, Narromine). While those polling over 300 votes are highly likely to be appointed to a councillor position, preference distribution could change the numbers significantly for some candidates. The Narromine Star will be able to bring you more information as the election process wraps up next week.

Local fires Around the traps… herald start of bushfire season
In Brief
THE Narromine Star presents the latest newsgrabs from around the Shire and beyond…
f Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) will hold a Community Conference in Dubbo in late October. It will focus on mental health and wellbeing, improving community health outcomes, and engagement strategies. More details on the WNSWLHD or on locally-placed flyers. f It’s all happening this weekend in the region, if you’re looking for something to do. There’s the 20th Anniversary of the Central West Astronomical Society’s AstroFest in Parkes; the Nevertire Rodeo; the Big Bogan Street Festival in Nyngan; and the Goin’ to Gil Weekend, including the Under The Gums Festival and street parade in Gilgandra. Support our near neighbours with their community events, and they’re likely to support us with ours when we have them. f Those magnificent aviators in their flying machines will return to Narromine next month, with the National Aerobatic Championships set to take place from October 14–19. Fantastic viewing at the Narromine Aerodrome, and totally free! f A southern NSW designed and manufactured 8500-litre trailing sprayer has won the coveted Greater Hume Council Award at the 61st Henty Machinery Field Days last week. Popular meteorologist Jane Bunn also forecast valuable spring rain to come and a potential La Nina (wet weather cycle) when officially opening the event. f At the 2023 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference (23OPCC), Dr Elissa Campbell shared her work “12 Elements to Build a Better Model of Palliative Care for People with Dementia”, which was developed as part
of the research undertaken during her Churchill Fellowship. You can view Dr Campbell’s work on the End of Life Directions for Aged Care (ELDAC) website. f The Smith Family is hosting a free face-to-face “Let’s Count” professional development training session in Dubbo in late October, which aims to help families engage with their children about the mathematics encountered as part of their everyday lives. Further details available from The Smith Family in Dubbo. f Clubs and organisations looking to obtain a defibrillator for their premises, can now apply to the NSW Office of Sport’s Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program. Applications are assessed as received until funding is exhausted, so get in quick if you want one! f The WNSWLHD has lodged a Development Application for the controversial Dubbo Residential [drug] Rehabilitation Centre after reportedly receiving “positive feedback” from community engagement events held in June. CEO Mark Spittal said the Department: “understand[s] there may be concerns around aspects like security, and they will be important considerations as the tender process for the facility’s operator is developed by NSW Health”. f The key insight from Hub Australia’s new Love Where You Work Report launched last week is the emergence of detrimental and short-sighted “workplace window dressing” trends that are reportedly damaging employee engagement and company productivity, as employers make superficial claims about flexibility and workplace culture to win talent and draw staff back to the office. The report examines workplace experience priorities and concerns of corporate Australian workers nationally.
Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.
From page 1 Later that day, around 1pm, 10 fi refighters with six trucks attended the reported incident on Tantitha Road, which impacted an area approximately 100m x 10m in size. The fi re was extinguished by 1:40pm. An RFS spokesperson said these fi res are being treated as potentially suspicious, however, fi re investigations have not been finalised. The grass fi res were also reported on local social media, where the community is still reeling from several suspicious housefi res since June that have destroyed vacant properties in Narromine. A fi re was also reported at the Narromine Shire Council’s Trangie Waste Depot on Sunday morning which closed the facility for several days. A council spokesperson told the Narromine Star that the fi re, which occurred in the timber pile, was contained by the RFS on September 22 without causing any damage to the waste depot facilities. In a statement, the council spokesperson said, “It is believed that the fi re likely resulted from inappropriate materials being disposed of on site. “It is important for the community to understand proper waste sorting and disposal. Materials that cannot be accepted at the Trangie Waste Facility include asbestos (both friable and non-friable), liquid waste (such as paint, cooking oil, chemicals, septic and grease tank waste), hazardous waste (including clin-
ical waste, contaminated soil, pharmaceutical waste etc), sharps (needles and syringes) and batteries,” the spokesperson explained. The Narromine Star has sought further information from the RFS in relation to this incident.
RFS says ‘get ready’ LAST Wednesday, the RFS and its commissioner Rob Rogers joined the NSW emergency services minister Jihad Dib to publicly encourage residents to dedicate the forthcoming weekend to prepare for bushfi re season. More than 300 brigades hosted events across the state over the weekend of September 21-22 to promote the ‘Get Ready’ message, and discuss simple and cost-effective measures to reduce bushfi re risk, such as clearing out gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and completing a Bush Fire Survival Plan. Mr Dib said with a return to hot and dry conditions anticipated this summer, now was the perfect time for residents to prepare for the heightened risk of bush and grass fi res. “We can’t be complacent. After several years of rainfall and flooding the vegetation has grown quickly and that is now drying out with the warmer weather, adding to fire risk,” minister Dib said. “Recent research shows that 70 per cent of residents living in bush fi re prone areas have some sort of plan for fi re emergencies, but alarmingly, less than half have
WHEEREIS WHEREIS
undertaken any preparatory work on their properties,” he added. Commissioner Rogers said volunteers were already hard at work across the state, having responded to more than 1100 bush and grass fi res since the beginning of July. “While our fi refighters are doing everything they can by conducting hazard reduction burns when weather conditions allow, preparation is a shared responsibility,” Commissioner Rogers said. “Our crews do a great job in very challenging situations but we can’t have a fire truck at every home, so property owners must also take proactive steps to safeguard their homes and communities. The commissioner encourages residents to prepare themselves now and develop their own Bushfire Survival Plan. “Know when you should leave, what to take, and where you can go to. And look out for your family, friends, and neighbours – make sure they, too, are ready and have a plan,” he said. “The time to prepare is now, not when a fire is at your doorstep. That’s often too late and could cost the life of a loved one or loss of property,” the commissioner concluded. If anyone has information on the grass fi res occurring on Pinedene Road and Tantitha Road, or at the Trangie Waste Depot, they are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or local police.

Graham’s tribute to legend Kenny, no gamble for fans
Graham Toole, a seasoned musician, has made a name for himself in the world of tribute music with a career spanning over 25 years. Covering artists like Glen Campbell, John Denver, and Kenny Rogers, he is coming to the golden west in October. By DAVID DIXON RADIO personality, Ray Hadley, believes that Graham Toole is “worthy of a broader audience,” and that’s exactly what he’s going to get when he visits Dubbo next month! Graham’s iconic “Kenny Rogers & Friends” tribute show is covering not one, but three different venues, on his trip to the golden west next month for the Narromine Dolly Parton Festival on October 12. “I’m doing a fundraiser for
(charity worker) Father Chris Riley at Narromine on the Friday, on Saturday at the Narromine Dolly Parton Festival, and on the Sunday at Dubbo RSL Club,” he enthused. “I love performing live, so the more shows the better for me, I hope to give people something they can sing along to, and to smile about,” he added. Growing up at chilly Oberon on the Central Tablelands, he got a taste of the limelight when he fi rst performed as a child at a local eisteddfod, and has never looked back.
“I remember performing as a kid with Ray Callaghan’s Dance Band at bowling clubs and the like, I was a soprano, and I always loved a live audience. “That’s the thing about those old performers, they were masters of this craft, they were there to entertain you, they were real professionals,” Graham said, adding that he has been honoured to watch many of his country heroes live over the years. While Kenny Rogers is a particular favourite, he covers

a range of stars from the time when country performers often had huge hits on the pop charts and vice versa. “I have a seven-piece backing band, and as well as Kenny, I also throw in John Denver, Glen Campbell, and his Jimmy Webb classics like MacArthur Park, the odd Elvis tune as well. “I try and build that persona of the performer around me, you have to work on that, but I don’t try and be Elvis,” he laughs. The favourite song, he
adds is a Kenny Rogers classic about the ups and downs of life. “Everyone loves ‘The Gambler’, everyone knows it, and everyone sings along to it, it’s a favourite, every time I perform it, the audience are up and singing, it’s just that connection,” Graham said. “My goal is to give everyone a good night, I’ve been blessed, I’ve had a blessed life, and I hope to offer something to people who come along and see me,” he concluded.
“With understanding & compassion we serve”

Holy smoke! The Dolly Festival is now only three weeks away By SHARON BONTHUYS BEAUTIFUL spring weather is forecast for Saturday, October 12, when Narromine’s third annual Dolly Parton Festival returns to town. Long-range forecasts are predicting some rain during the week leading up to the festival, but a fi ne day for the main event itself, which is expected to welcome thousands of people over a very busy day/ night program. Originally held in conjunction with the Labour Day Long Weekend, the 2024 festival has moved into daylight saving time this year. This essentially gives festival fans an extra hour of sunshine to enjoy the high-fallutin’, boot-scootin’ entertainment planned by the Dolly Parton Festival organising committee, in conjunction with Narromine Shire Council. Parts of Narromine’s main thoroughfare, Dandaloo Street, and connecting Burroway St, will be officially closed for the famous Dolly Festival Street Party, which kicks off at 9.30am with musical duo The Spangles performing on the main stage, which will run

Market-lovers can also enjoy the offerings of the 27 booked stalls and shopping in local businesses, while food a-plenty will be available from six dedicated hospitality stands, as well as from local outlets. Festival host, Timberlina,
will be joined by friends Foxxe Faux and Abork as they move about the main street and judge the local business window-dressing competition. Narromine’s line-dancing group will perform ahead of the arrival of the Dolly Parton Express at the nearby
historic railway station at around 10.30am. The Dolly Express is a special private chartered Railway Adventures’ tour of western NSW taking in Parkes, Cobar, Dubbo, Wallerawang and, of course, Narromine for the festival.
SATURDAY 1p( OCTOBER & - " ( & ( * ( ' The Dolly Festival will kick off on Saturday 1pB6 of October 202r and has a jam packed program including live music, street market stalls, family-friendly events and an evening festival.
We’d love to see you dressed as Dolly or Kenny, so start planning your outfits!!! dollyfestivalnarromine.com
The main stage area will light up with ongoing performances through the day by The Spangles, entertainer Tanya Andrew and son, Thriv3, St Augustine’s Parish School, and Narromine Public School. Pooka the Clown will also be out and about, with muso Rockin’ Robbie, also playing near Zest. If you’re a fan of classic cars, the Narromine Car Club will have a line up ready to view on the day, including some awesome motorcycles, we’re told. The fun then shifts to the evening’s free evening concert at Cale Oval, where almost 2000 people are expected to enjoy performances by headliner Brooke McMullen, Graham Toole as Kenny Rogers, popular band Ballz ‘n All, and Dubbo songstress Tanya Andrew, fresh from her daytime performance during the Street Party. The evening concert is free to attend following a $150,000 grant from the NSW Government, but tickets are required to gain entry and can be obtained from 123-Tix.

NAIDOC Community
By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST Friday hundreds of people gathered in Dundas Park for the highly-anticipated NAIDOC Community Day. Long in the planning, and supporting the 2024 NAIDOC Week theme “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud,” the event featured a Welcome To Country and flag raising, presentation of photos to participants in a special collaborative project between Ochre Up and the National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA) at Narromine High, as well as speeches by dignitaries and performances by talented local school students. Dozens of service providers were on hand with information about what they do and gift bags for people to take away, and of course, there was food! The predicted wet weather stayed away, ensuring beautiful warm weather for the community day of celebration recognising the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We’ll have a full wrap up of the week’s NAIDOC events in next week’s issue.

Broken Hill trip
IT was great to get out to Broken Hill last week to catch-up with a number of community organisations, meet with grant recipients, and introduce Nationals’ candidate for Parkes, Jamie Chaffey to various locals. The visit was Jamie’s fi rst time in Broken Hill, so I was pleased to be able to show him around to help him get to know the community. I even introduced him to the infamous Broken Hill “cheeseslaw” sandwich which is a must-try when in Broken Hill. We met with Broken Hill City Council Mayor, Councillor Tom Kennedy and Deputy Mayor, Cr Jim Hickey, had a tour of Thrive Medical with Heather Pearce, met with Michael Williams from RDA Far West and the Silverlea Early Childhood Service to discuss staff shortages. We also attended the Pastoralists Association meeting and caught up with multiple groups that had received recent Volunteer Grants including West Darling Fishing Club, West Broken Hill Football Club and the West Darling Machinery Preservation Society. Jamie and I also visited Broken Hill High School to present new fl ags and hear about the new Vietnam War Honour Board that the school will install, thanks to funding provided under the Saluting Their Service program. As always, it was a pleasure to stop

Aged care reforms THE Labor Government has fi nally introduced its Aged Care Bill into the Parliament, after the Coalition agreed to work with the Government on sensible policies, because we need a system that is strong and sustainable to support future generations. With more than half of aged care homes across the coun-
which foster inclusion for our Elders, mentors, and seniors across the state. Whether you’re looking to launch a new senior’s swim class, a gardening club or a social night, fi nd out more and apply.

Eligible sporting clubs and facility owners can now apply for grants up to $3000 towards the purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED) through the Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program.

try operating at a loss, an ageing population and a desire for people to age at home, the way aged care is delivered and supported needs to change. That is why the Coalition has been in good faith negotiations with the Government to ensure any reforms provide dignity and clarity for older Australians. We have fought hard to make sure that Australians who have worked hard all their lives to save for their retirement, are dealt a fairer deal. We achieved the inclusion of grandfathering arrangements, so that no Australian already on their aged care journey will pay a cent more than they currently do; lifetime caps on contributions to give certainty to the maximum amount any Australian will ever have to pay; a much lower taper rate to slow the rate that contributions increase; and we got

What does this mean in practical terms? Well, to use an example, each room has walls that extend right up to the external roof space and also has shields where any pipes and wires go through the walls. This means that if a fi re were to break out (let’s hope this never happens!) it would be contained in one room and couldn’t spread to the rest of the building.

Recycling initiative as Narromine joins national “Garage Sale Trail”
Even Elvis gives the initiative the green light. Narromine Shire is this year joining the Australia-wide “Garage Sale Trail”, which will be held over two weekends in November. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.
LOCAL communities are set to benefit from the Narromine Shire joining the Australia-wide Garage Sale Trail, which will feature two big weekends of garage sales in November. Narromine Shire Council is encouraging locals to cash in or grab a bargain in the annual sustainability event, also billed as “Australia’s biggest second-hand treasure hunt”, with more than three million preloved items going up for sale nationwide. The event aims to reduce the volume of usable items ending up in landfi ll, while also providing a fun and social way for the community to make or save money. Registration is free and open to all households, schools, and community groups, with participants to receive a variety of tips, tools, and free promotional material to make hosting their garage sale easy. “The Garage Sale Trail
is a great way for residents to come together, declutter, raise money, and keep landfi ll to a minimum,” said Council’s Manager Waste and Community Facilities, Anthony Everett. “Supporting the Garage Sale Trail is another step in Council’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. This event allows us to help the community prevent some great items from ending up in landfi ll,” he added. Narromine Shire Council has existing programs that support waste reduction, including the Return and Earn vending machine, green waste services, and the Community Recycling Cabinet at the Customer Service and Payments Centre for batteries, mobile phones, printer cartridges, and smoke detectors. Residents are encouraged to register their own event via Council’s page on the Garage Sale Trail website.

Nola Fee-free TAFE celebrates courses for early her big childhood educators 94th SEEKING to overcome the chronic State shortage of childcare workers, educators and teachers will now receive fully-subsidised professional learning from the Department of Education, in partnership with TAFE NSW. The Early Childhood Professional Learning Program also aims to address workforce burnout and support retention in the industry. It aims to achieve this through fully-subsidised professional learning to enhance skills and knowledge, so all children get a strong start in life and learning, Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning, Prue Car said. “The NSW Government is committed to maintaining and retaining this highly-skilled and valued workforce,” Ms Car said. “Fee-free professional development, is one of the ways we are do-
ing this,” she added. Professional learning will be open to all Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) educators and teachers that work at a service or live in NSW. “TAFE NSW is well-placed to support our early childhood educators and teachers to deepen their practice, advance their careers and support our youngest learners,” Ms Car added. The fi rst phase of the program is expected to launch in Spring 2024 with a series of short online microskills and webinars designed by sector experts. These short courses will be free, self-paced and available through TAFE NSW’s online learning platform. The second phase will deliver a leadership development program that aims to increase workforce retention by supporting early child-

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH All in the game? LIKE a lot of Australians, I’ve taken an interest in sport at various times. Also, like a lot of blokes, cricket took up a lot of my recreation time. Although I’m far from what you’d call a “sports junkie”, it is
exciting to see Australian teams and athletes holding their own at international level, or to hear “Advance Australia Fair” being played at the Olympics. However, again, like a lot of Australians, I struggle sometimes with the direction in which sport seems to be heading. Some say there are two main ways that sport has been changing — one is the money, and the other is the development in sport physiology. By paying sports stars large amounts of money, there’s a risk of encouraging unhealthy ambition or a desire to get to the top at any cost.
Russell Everingham funerals
DID you know that in the annals of culinary history, cheesecake reportedly made its first appearance around 4000 years ago in Ancient Greece? We’ve moved on significantly from pounding cheese patties with flour and honey, and modern cheesecakes are much nicer and easier to make. Here’s our offering to the cheesecake-lovers amongst us.
Filling: 250g creamed cheese 1/2 cup condensed milk 2 tsp lemon juice 1 packet longlife cream Cinnamon
Adding to this are the vested interests or business sponsors. The cost, too often, can be honesty and fair play. Sadly, there can also be an increase in the power of gambling, and the basic human failing of greed (such as match-fi xing). The developments in the science of sport physiology can put a lot of pressure on competitors. If a sportsperson knows that opponents are using performance-enhancing drugs, then there may be a temptation that is very hard to resist. We have seen this scenario take place in swimming, cycling, and football. We may be excused for wondering if there

hood education and care professionals to thrive as leaders. The program will include tailored offerings for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, and those working in rural and regional areas of NSW. It will be offered through a combination of online learning and face-to-face sessions to be rolled out in 2025. Applications will be open next year to educators and teachers who want to strengthen their leadership capabilities. “TAFE NSW is working closely with the early childhood education and care sector to ensure these training programs meet the skills needs of the sector, now and into the future,” Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan, concluded.
Method BASE: Combine dry ingredients with melted butter. Press into flan dish and refrigerate to set. FILLING: Beat cream cheese, condensed milk and lemon juice.

IS a level playing field if we see these situations occurring. This can remind us how important it is to stick to the rules that God spells out, in His word, The Bible. God created us to enjoy Him and life. He designed us with active bodies and minds, and He expects us to enjoy sport within the confi nes of His rules. The Apostle Paul notes this in 2 Timothy 2:5, “anyone competing as an athlete doesn’t receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules.” In another letter to Timothy, he warns strongly against the dangers of “the love of money”, which he says
is “the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6: 6-12). And so, even staging an event such as the Commonwealth Games can become contentious. But Paul encourages Timothy to “pursue righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness,” summing it up in Verses 11 and 12 by saying: “fight the good fight of the faith”. One Pastor said: “pursuing Godliness and enjoying life as God intended, go hand in hand.” It’s not hard to say “Amen” to that, while looking at the climate of world sport today. By PHILIP HAND

Lions try out new location for its annual disability camp The rafts were also a lot of fun!
Would you try this?
The climbing wall was challenging but fun for Camp Elim participants. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. FOR many years, the Narromine Lions Club has been instrumental in co-organising and running an annual camp for people with disability and special needs across regional NSW. In the past, organisers Karen Shearwood from Narromine and Col Ryan from Gulargambone, and their team of Lions volunteers have travelled to Licola in Victoria for this camp. However, they were forced to fi nd a new location when they were no longer able to continue to use the Victorian facility. This year, they ventured to Camp Elim, near Forster. Ms Shearwood’s report on their trip is interesting reading.
Hello, Camp Elim! By KAREN SHEARWOOD AFTER an early start on Monday, September 9, 104 participants headed off to Camp Elim, about 15 minutes out of Forster. Pruggers Coaches headed down the Golden Highway and participants were wonderfully catered for at breakfast by Narromine Lions, then lunch was provided by Denman Lions. We made it to camp about 5.30pm. Langleys Coaches went via Parkes and picked up the southern feeder group coming from Coleambally. This coach had breakfast provided by Or-
ange Canobolas Lions, then went via Hornsby where local Lions provided lunch for the hungry travellers. They also arrived at camp about 5.30pm. A delicious tea was followed by fi nding cabins, unpacking, making beds and then some games in the hall followed by hot chocolate and a good night’s sleep. Sunshine on Tuesday had campers up early and ready to go, starting with a delicious hot breakfast, plus cereal, fruit and yoghurt. A set round of activities followed including canoes, archery, climbing wall, and giant swing, along with the wonderful crafts provided by Sue Inglis from Coleambally. Fresh hot muffins and fruit for morning tea, and fresh biscuits and fruit for afternoon tea meant a great day for all. The canoes were a major hit as participants could take them out themselves as the water was only calf deep. This activity was wonderfully run by our two coach drivers, Pat Bunting from Coonabarabran (Pruggers) and Adam Millington from Dubbo (Langleys). They managed this activity all day. These two men have been coming to camp for around 20 years, joining in all activities, including performing in the concert. They are an integral part of the team. Tuesday night was our fancy dress night, with lots of prizes given out.
Archery was also popular at Camp Elim. Wednesday brought sunshine and not-quite such early risers! The free activities came along with pancakes, water sports, ball games, table tennis (a winner). Also on offer was raft making; this proved hugely popular with some very clever teenagers designing their own raft and keeping it afloat and the builders spending most of the day on it in the water. Col found himself supervising this for a big part of the day. A highlight of this day was that staff worked together to allow a wheelchair-bound participant enjoy her first canoe ride, and our male leaders were even able to give her the thrill of having a giant swing ride. The teamwork to make this happen had to be seen to be believed. The smile on the participant’s face was something else. At lunchtime, we were treated to the arrival of past Lions’ district governor, Geoff Freudenstein, to present Ross White of Albury (formerly of Coleambally) with the Professor Frank Bilson Award. This is one of the highest awards a person can receive in the Lions Club. Ross has been involved with the camp since its inception, has always done the budget and has assisted at most camps. We’re pretty sure by the smile on Geoff ’s face that he enjoyed his time visiting Camp Elim.
It was concert night, a favourite night for all, along with the special presentation. Thursday saw our participants rising even later — but to a wet morning. After a quick meeting our day was turned around and we played games at camp, then headed to Main Beach at Forster where we all enjoyed a delicious barbecue and the company of the Forster Tuncurry Lions Club. Some great fellowship followed. Then it was onto the bus and to the Putt Putt Golf and Trampolines, managed by Forster Tuncurry Lions. Some fun there and then a walk across the bridge, back on the bus to the Rockpools, where our group could purchase a coffee or ice cream at the café, and have a look around the area. A huge thank you to the Forster Tuncurry Lions who donated not only their time but all the costs of the day to our group. Back on the bus and the lucky Pruggers group were able to see the dolphins in the water. Thursday evening saw an exciting time with Vaughan Parker, from Hallidays Point, entertaining our troupe with music and his ukulele. This was to be held outside with the fi re pits, however, due to the wet weather we had this inside. Our participants sang and danced the night away. Again, through kindness, there was no charge for this.
Friday morning again saw showers, but it was up, early breakfast and on our way home. Langleys travellers had lunch courtesy of Lithgow Lions, while the Pruggers travellers enjoyed pies and sausage rolls from the Merriwa Bakery. Dinner for Langleys travellers was hosted by Cudal Cargo, while a big thank you to Col for providing snacks to the last remaining few on the Pruggers coach to complete their journey. Our evenings ran smoothly, with Bec Porter from Orange taking control. A huge thank you to all those who assisted, but a special thank you must go out to our district treasurer, Bob Gnezdiloff. Bob works quietly behind every Lions district project, paying the bills, and in our case sending out about 80 invoices and receipts. Without his help we would not have the wonderful camp we have had. The support from the staff at Camp Elim was amazing. Nothing was a problem and they were on site and dealt promptly with any issues. The organisation on their part was fabulous. Everywhere where we went, we were complimented on the behaviour and manners of our participants.This is one of the true joys of taking this group away. So, we are already booked in for next year.We hope many Lions Clubs will continue to get behind this wonderful district venture.

“Dad’s Army” to be honoured as memorial golf day returns
From page 1 “Whether playing on a freezing July Saturday or a scorching 44-degree January Sunday, they could always be found on the course, enjoying the challenge of the game and each other’s camaraderie,” a spokesperson for the Dad’s Army families told the Narromine Star recently. But weekends spent on the course weren’t enough for these diehard golfers, who also travelled to Dubbo on Wednesdays to tackle their most “formidable challenge”, the spokesperson, who has requested anonymity, revealed. “[This encompassed] the grass greens, fi ne-tuning their handicaps, and creating many enjoyable memories with a fair share of interesting
trips home,” they added. With the passage of time, the ranks in Dad’s Army quietly thinned. Geoff Swane, who spent thousands of hours volunteering at the Narromine golf course over the years, was the last surviving member of the group and passed away in 2021. The Dad’s Army Golf Day was started by the members’ families in their memory, and they have generously donated the prizes — supported by event sponsors Inland Petroleum and Macquarie Valley Fuels — as well as the Narromine Golf Club. Importantly, the Dad’s Army families have purchased the prizes on offer at the event from local businesses, ensuring funds remain in the community, the spokesperson added.
The annual event will ensure the memories of Dad’s Army remain. “Their legacy lives on through their children and grandchildren, who started this annual event to support the local golf club and community, while honouring the extraordinary group of men,” the families’ spokesperson said. The fi rst event in 2019 attracted more than 80 players and the families are hoping for an equally-impressive turnout for the return of the Dad’s Army Golf Day to Narromine on Saturday, October 5. Full details of the event, which includes a barbecue lunch and the chance to win over $4000 in prizes, can be found in the Classifieds section of this issue.
GERRIES GOLF
Win for ‘Pom’ By NORM LEWIS A SMALL field of only seven players took part in the weekly Gerries’ Competition this week, and the winner on the day was Chris “the Pom” Harding, with a score of 26 points. Pom played great golf throughout to come out three points on top from Mal Richardson and Phil White, both on 23 points. The countback was needed to decide the second-place getter, with Mal getting the prize. The Nearest-the-Pin Jackpot, however, is growing weekly as there appears no one able put the ball on the green, although Brian Masling won the NAGA prize with a score of 19 points. Next week play in on the front nine at the usual early afternoon hit-off time. That’s all for another week. See you at the 19th!

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES CLAYTON Gallagher followed his stellar performance on Saturday, September 21 at Enngonia where he rode five winners from five rides, with a winning double on Monday, September 23 at the Narromine TAB meeting. His Narromine winners, Where’stheprofit and Not Written Off, were supplied by Cameron Crockett who also had a big day as Earl Of Bantry ridden by Jake Pracey-Holmes was the other leg of a treble for the Scone trainer. A stylish winner at the Mudgee debut, Where’stheprofit backed from $2 to $1.75 favourite at Narromine was confidently ridden by Clayton Gallagher and came from off the pace to dash clear in the straight for an impressive win over the leader Kora Magic (Mathew Cahill, $8) and White Liar (James Rogers, $101) in the QUBE Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap. In the 1100 metres Nutrien Ag Solutions Class One Handicap, Clayton Gallagher sent his mount to the early lead and Not Written Off ($3.40 favourite) eventually won by over two lengths from Prince Of Sepang (Braith Nock, $10) and Plenitude (Nick Heywood, $3.80). At the fi rst start for Cameron Crockett after coming from stables in South Australia the four-year-old gelding Earl Of Bantry won at Mudgee and Jake Pracey-Holmes again had the ride at Narromine, in the 1300 metres Macquarie Valley Fuels Class Two Handicap. Travelling in the fi rst three from the outset, Earl Of Bantry ($3.90 fav.) held off the strong fi nishing Sammiballerina (Braith Nock. $8.50) by a neck with Wolf Bay (Nick Heywood, $4.80) battling on for third. An eye catching second at Mudgee, the Garry Lunn, Dubbo-trained Margaret’s Mis-
Gallagher rides five winners at Narromine sile (Mikayla Weir, $5.50) took control over the closing stages to beat Best Of Maher (Andrew Banks, $3.90 fav.) and Way To Divine (Mathew Cahill, $7) in the 1600 metres Narromine Shire-Shop Local Class One and Maiden Plate. Carrying some sizeable bets, the Clint Lundholm trained Stockholm (Nick Heywood, $2.20 to $2 favourite) wore down a game Zounile (Zoe Hunt, $8) to win by a length with Rolled Gold (Will Stanley, $16) a handy third in the 1600 metres Spring Classic Benchmark 58 Handicap. Dubbo-based Georgina McDonnell who won on Queensland galloper Za Hidden Dragon at Enngonia was back for the Narromine meeting and combined with trainer Brett Robb to win the 1300 metres Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Country Boosted Maiden Handicap with Seven Mile Missile. Reaching the lead at the top of the straight, Seven Mile Missile ($5.50) held on to beat Casdaemon (Chelsea Hillier, $2.60 fav.) and Infi nite Prince (Shayleigh Ingelse, 4.20). The other winners were the Mack Griffith, Mudgee trained Stratified (Braith Nock, $2.15 to $1.90 fav.) and Ranhita (Jenny Duggan, $7 to $5) trained at Cessnock by Jeremy Sylvester.
Raced Enngonia Saturday, September 21 DURING a long involvement with racing, William Pugsley from Charleville in Queensland has at various times been a trainer, owner, bookmaker, strapper and parttime race caller. As a trainer, Pugsley ventured to Enngonia in north west NSW on Saturday and led in a winning treble, Mistrey Emperor and Edwards both of which he part owns and Greek Star owned by a friend, Daniel Twist. All were ridden by Dubbo jockey Clayton Gallagher who landed five winners from his five rides at the isolated meeting which attracted a very good crowd.
The William Pugsley haul included the 1400 metres Dunk Insurance Enngonia Cup with Greek Star (Clayton Gallagher, $3.20) which settled just off the pace before fi nishing well to score by a length from Crazy Russian (Georgina McDonnell, $8) and Belle O‘Ballee (Shayleigh Ingelse, $7.50). Only previous win for Mistrey Emperor was last year at the quaintly named town of Dingo when trained by Graeme Green at Rockhampton. At Enngonia, Mistrey Emperor (Clayton Gallagher, $5.50) took the lead before the home turn and won the Nutrien Walsh Hughes Benchmark 45 Handicap by almost six lengths from Seeburg (Kody Nestor, $3.50) and Parnassus (Nyssa Burrells, $8). Third entering the straight, Edwards (Clayton Gallagher, $3.50 equal favourite) became the other winner for William Pugsley when clearing out to beat Jamaican (Andrew Banks, $3.50 equal fav.) and Hammoon Sunshine (Georgina McDonnell, $13) in the 1400 metres Thomas Foods International Class One Handicap. In a big day for south west Queensland stables, Cunnamulla trainers Monique Gavin and Alistair Webb also had wins with Za Hidden Dragon and Mon Pierre, respectively. Ridden by Georgina McDonnell, Za Hidden Dragon backed from $3 to $1.80 favourite was in the leading division from the outset and won the 1000 metres Bourke Bowling Club Open Handicap by over two lengths from Bowie Of Dubai (Andrew Banks, $7) and Billy Bent Ear (Shayleigh Ingelse, $7). Easiest winner of the day was the Alistair Webb trained Mon Pierre (Clayton Gallagher, $4) when leading throughout to beat Pahang (Mikayla Weir, $3.60) and Ballycastle (Andrew Banks, $7) by more than 10 lengths in the 1200 metres Bourke Steel and Hire Class Two Handicap. Preventing a clean sweep by Queensland trainers, Brett Robb from Dubbo won the 1000 metres Western Plains and Lower Lila Retreat Maiden
Plate with Keep Ya Promise. Owned by a group from Lake Cargelligo and Tullibigeal, Keep Ya Promise is a half-brother to another of their former gallopers On A Promise which won 11 races for Brett Robb including the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final at Coonamble in 2021. Breaking through after 10 starts, Keep Ya Promise ($1.90 favourite) was the fi rst of the five winners at Enngonia for Clayton Gallagher when leading and then holding off Loniesha (Tessa Townsend, $3.20) by a half-length with Makers (Georgina McDonnell, $10) three lengths away third.
Raced Bathurst – Sunday, September 15 FROM the Sara Ryan stable at Wyong, the six-year-old chestnut gelding Money From The Sky mowed down the opposition to win the 1800 metres Elders Emms Mooney Bathurst Cup and give apprentice jockey Ben Osmond the fi rst leg of the feature race double. Osmond followed up by winning the $110,000 Panorama Motel-The Panorama (1300 metres) to further enhance the prospects of the Mack Griffith, Mudgee trained Compelling Truth for the $2,000,000 Kosciusko at Royal Randwick in October. The now 25-year-old Ben Osmond rode his fi rst winner Lily’s Lolly at Gulgong in June 2021 and although tall for a jockey has controlled his weight well and is now gaining opportunities from several high profi le provincial and city trainers. Backed from $2 to $1.85 favourite Too Much Caviar, in front of a very good crowd on Sunday, led for home in the cup with Money from The Sky sweeping around the field from near the tail. Maintaining a strong run, Money From The Sky ($8) won by over two lengths from Jamberoo (Andrew Adkins, $7) and Marsabit (Louis Beuzelin, $17). Adam Hyeronimus was hoping to win the Cup on Too Much Caviar as his grandfa-
ther the late Reg Paine from Cowra won the Bathurst Cup on Grecian Lustre (1962) Greg’s King (1967) and Greg’s King (1968) while Adam’s uncle, Neil Paine, won on The Reveille in 1998. Building on an already imposing record of eight wins from 16 starts, Compelling Truth was all class when winning The Panorama against an outstanding field of sprinters. Given a good run tracking the leaders by Ben Osmond, Compelling Truth ($2.10 favourite) hit the front in the straight and held off by a halflength Debello (Deanne Panya, $8.50) and the fast-fi nishing Smooth Esprit (Adam Hyeronimus, $14). Flying the flag for the locals was Bathurst trainer Gayna Williams with Lanwar, winner of the 1400 metres Elders Livestock-Hugh Bowman Showcase Maiden Plate. Positioned midfield by Jaden Lloyd, Lanwar ($8.50) fi nished well to beat Let’s Go Leo (Siena Grima, $3.60) and Tommy’s Girl (Ashleigh Stanley, $9.50). Another central west trainer with a winner was Dubbo-based Cindy Monaghan with the well supported outsider Always A Saint. Owned by the trainer’s partner, media personality Tim Moses and stock and station agent Angus Barlow, Always A Saint ($21) was very well ridden by apprentice Siena Grima. After being parked on the rails behind the leaders, Always A Saint arrived in time to win the 1100 metres Agriwest-Gold Circle Class One Showcase Handicap by a short half head from Quick Onyx (Braith Nock, $10) with the $1.45 favourite News Bound (Chelsea Hillier) a long neck away third. Warwick Farm trainers won half the programme, Bjorn Baker landing a winning treble with No Second Thoughts (Olivia Chambers, $2.10 fav.), Broadway Follies (Andrew Adkins, $3) and Ellipsis (Andrew Adkins, $1.65 fav.) while Garry Portelli won with Exotic Dancer (Deanne Panya, $4 fav.).

Mann and Williams once again the NSW Vets’ Sand Green Champions!
Darwin resident (formerly of Narromine) Ron White, with Phil Johnston, Greg Barling and Nowra visitor Peter Gardner. By NORM LEWIS LOCAL golfers Tony Mann and Rob Williams once again bagged the NSW Veterans Men’s Fourball Sand Green State Championship, played at Narromine last weekend. Mann and Williams have now won this event four times since 2019, which is a great achievement for our players. Smaller numbers took part this year, with just 44 players from 15 clubs participating in the Championship tournament. Clubs participating this year hailed from Nowra, Walcha, Kew, Trangie, Nyngan, Cobar, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Tooraweenah, Grafton, Gulgong, Narromine, and even one player travelling all the way from Darwin! Narromine has conducted this event annually since 2015, with the exception of the COVID years of 2020 and 2021. The course was in tremen-

dous condition for the event on September 22-23, with the considerable volunteer efforts led by Narromine Veterans Club President. Peter Hutchinson.
Results AFTER the Saturday fi rst round, Williams and Mann led the field and followed up with a top round on Sunday, recording 90 stableford points over the 36 holes.

Greg Barling, with his partner, Ron White from Darwin, took third place with 75 points. The Handicap section of the event went to the Dubbo pairing of Steve and Bruce Simpson on 95 points, followed by Greg Dunn (Dub-

Presentation thanks AT the conclusion of the golf, Narromine Veterans Club President Peter Hutchinson welcomed all participants and presented the trophies. He also thanked everyone for their support to make the event a success, including the Veterans Sub-Committee, comprising Ash Bullock, Chris Harding and Norm Lewis, and the Members of the Golf Club Committee who help with the organisation of the event and preparing the course, which was in excellent condition. He also acknowledged the Ladies’ Committee for preparing the cards, and scoring the results, as well as catering for the event, with credit also to the barbecue cooks, the bar staff, and club members, who loaned their golf buggies to the visitors for the tournament. The President said the Veter-
ans Club appreciated the help given by all who helped make the Tournament a success.
Numbers down across the State WITH local club volunteers working tirelessly in the week leading-up to the event to prepare the course for the tournament, the small attendance was disappointing. However, this appears to be a trend statewide. NSWVGA President, John Daley, told the gathering that all tournaments were down in attendance, due to the costof-living increases existing at the moment. Speaking on behalf of the NSWVGA, Mr Daley congratulated Narromine on the conduct of the event and confi rmed that Narromine has been allocated this tournament again in 2025.
