Accused murderer launches verbal tirade at Magistrate By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN THE 26-year-old man accused of the alleged murder of a teenage boy in Narromine earlier this year unleashed a tirade of foul language at the Magistrate hearing his case last week. Anthony Facchi was visibly agitated when he appeared in his prison greens via audio visual link (AVL) at Dubbo Local Court on Thursday, October 31, as his matter was heard in front of Magistrate Aaron Tang. The 26-year-old, who has been charged with murder, assault occasioning bodily harm and a weapons offence, described his incarceration as “bull****”. The court heard from Legal Aid NSW barrister, Bill Dickens, who told the court his representation on the matter was contingent on a meeting between himself and Mr Facchi earlier this week. Magistrate Tang told Mr Facchi the charges he was facing were “serious”, and that Mr Dickens was an experienced lawyer in the Dubbo court system.

“It’s not possible”: Regions left out of critical hearings ahead of landmark statewide drug summit By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN IT was the announcement touted by the state government as an opportunity to make a real difference to the NSW drug crisis and bring serious policy reform to the table. But the shock decision to completely leave out some of the biggest and remote regional zones in the state has left some scratching their heads. It has been 25 years since the last statewide drug summit was held in NSW, with then-Premier Bob Carr first holding one amid Sydney’s heroin epidemic in the late 1990’s. The drug summit is being brought back by the Minns government, an election commitment in response to the special commission of inquiry into the drug “ice” (crystal methamphetamine).

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, November 7, 2024
“It’s not possible”: Regions left out of critical hearings ahead of landmark statewide drug summit From page 1 Earlier this year, the government announced there would be two regional hearings in late October and early November, with the drug summit to be held in early December in Sydney. The chosen locations for the one-day-only regional hearings included Griffith, just under 400 kilometres south of Narromine Shire, and Lismore, 800 kilometres to the north-east. Sources told the Narromine Star that the Griffith City Council was only invited at the last minute to attend the hearing. ABC Radio also reported that local drug and alcohol services in Griffith were not invited to attend until the eleventh-hour. With the regional hearings only covering the Riverina and Northern regions of the state, the government has missed the opportunity to seek feedback from communities in the Western and Far West NSW regions, as well as other parts of the state. The only opportunity for residents from these regions to have their voice heard on the impact that drugs has on their regional and rural communities, and provide their thoughts on drug policy reform, is through an online “Have Your Say” form on the NSW Health website.
Minister: Can’t go everywhere THE Narromine Star contacted the NSW Minister for Regional Health, Ryan Park, about why the Western and Far West Local Health Districts (LHD) were not considered as locations for a regional hearing as part of the drug summit. “The summit will seek the views and engagement of organisations and individuals
in the same period. Far Western NSW LHD also exceeds these other regions in the total number of alcohol and other drug-related hospitalisations, recording 1490 cases per 100,000 in the same period. In comparison, Western NSW recorded 1144 cases, Murrumbidgee recorded 1089 per 100,000, and Northern NSW recorded 1309 cases per 100,000. Mr Saunders told the Narromine Star that ignoring the region was inexcusable. “To completely ignore a region that definitely had problems with a range of drugs, alcohol and regional crime is pretty inexcusable,” he asserted.

Politicians differ
from right across the state,” Minister Park said in a statement provided after our response deadline. “As I’m sure members of the community reasonably understand, it is simply not possible to hold the summit in every geographical location of the state,” he added. But local Member for Dubbo Electorate and Leader of the NSW Nationals, Dugald Saunders, told the Narromine Star that he found the decision “odd” to not consider any loca-
Narromine
tion from Bathurst to Broken Hill for a drug hearing. “My fi rst reaction is that it was slightly odd that there was only Griffith and Lismore chosen for the regional locations,” he said. “If I am being completely honest, I think the regional aspect of this was probably tacked-on. Like so many other things that we have seen recently, this government is not one that is based around regional needs,” Mr Saunders added.
FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.
Concerning data ACCORDING to data from NSW Health, in the 2022/23 fi nancial year, Western NSW LHD – the largest health district in the state – recorded 163 patients per 100,000 people in methamphetamine-related hospitalisations. In comparison, Murrumbidgee LHD (Griffith) and Northern NSW LHD (Lismore) recorded 151.5 and 159.6 patients respectively in methamphetamine-related hospitalisations
WHEERE IS WHEREIS
DUTY MLC for the Dubbo Electorate and several other electorates, Stephen Lawrence, told the Narromine Star he is satisfied with the two regional locations, but did advocate for Tamworth to be a possible location. “I’m pretty satisfied with the choices that were made,” he explained. “But the reason I put in a pitch for Tamworth, was that in Dubbo, I think there is a very widespread community understanding and acceptance of the need to tackle the drug problem, and that has been reflected in a very long running and successful community campaign for a drug rehab centre, drug court and youth Koori court.” Mr Saunders said that the Minns government cannot approach drug issues the same way in every regional and rural community. “You can’t have a blanket approach; you can’t have a cookie cutter approach to crime or to drugs,” he expressed. “You need a different response to different regions.”

Accused murderer Off and launches racing in verbal tirade Shop Local at Magistrate stakes From page 1 The Magistrate also attempted to explain the far-reaching consequences if the accused did not attend the scheduled legal meeting with Mr Dickens this week. “They are serious charges, obviously the murder charge is very serious,” Magistrate Tang said. Mr Facchi’s responses to the Magistrate’s warnings are unpublishable. A constant back and forth between the Magistrate and the accused continued, until Magistrate Tang gave his fi nal warning in an attempt for Facchi to understand the importance of the legal meeting. “It is in your best legal interest to attend the meeting on Tuesday. Otherwise, next Thursday,
if you do not have a lawyer, you will have to navigate this (court proceedings) by yourself.” Mr Facchi proceeded to launch a tirade of foul language at Magistrate Tang in response to the news that he could be left without legal counsel. “You can’t do that anyway mate,” Mr Facchi told the court. “I am sitting in [expletive] jail… You don’t care about no one [sic], I don’t want to come down here every time for these [expletive] adjournments.” Magistrate Tang attempted to calm Facchi, but the 26-year-old continued the verbal abuse until the Magistrate was forced to mute his audio. “Why the [expletive] am I sitting in front of you?” Facchi asked the Magistrate.
“You are [expletive]! You are in a Local Court, you’re not even from the Supreme Court.” Magistrate Tang adjourned the matter until Thursday, November 7, for a mention, with Facchi remaining in custody. In April this year, emergency services were called to a home on Nymagee Street, Narromine, at around 9pm where they arrived to fi nd a 16-year-old boy with stab injuries to his neck. He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Dubbo Regional Airport, where he died. The teenage boy was remembered by family and friends earlier this year as an “innocent” child with a “pure soul”.
THE gates have opened and businesses in Narromine Shire are off and racing in this year’s annual Shop Local stakes. It was even Stevens for first out of the barrier, with businesses promoting their wares across multiple platforms including online, print and other forms of advertising. Dozens of local businesses are competing in what has fi rmed up as the thoroughbred sales event of the year. As the race heads towards its natural conclusion in a month’s time, we don’t need veteran race caller Col Hodges to tell us who’s in the lead. It doesn’t really matter, because every business is a winner in this special stakes that reward shoppers for buying local and spending their cash in their local communities. But seriously, dear readers, make sure you get an entry form when you spend $20 in a business in Narromine or Trangie, and leave it in the box provided at the participating business. When you place advertising with the Narromine Star you’ll receive an entry into the draw to receive one of four $250 gift vouchers. Trangie shoppers have a second Shop ‘n Win promotion they can also enter concurrently, giving them twice as many chances to win. Giddy-up to your nearest or favourite store and Shop Local!

Narromine to Narrabri (N2N) Testing will soon begin on the cutting-edge technology to improve early warnings about floods and bushfires with the recent launch of a “proof-of-concept” phase as part of a $3.3 million election commitment to build a natural hazards detection system. PHOTO: RFS. WHEN it comes to natural disasters, being forewarned is forearmed, with new technology to detect floods and bushfi res being trialled in NSW. Testing will soon begin on the cutting edge technology to improve early warnings about floods and bushfi res with the recent launch of a “proof-ofconcept” phase as part of a $3.3 million election commitment to build a natural hazards detection system. The testing will explore a range of scenarios to enhance the state’s response to natural hazards including innovative technology to detect floods and bushfi res that can: f support early identification of flood water across roads f monitor rainfall and soil moisture data to predict floods f identify fi re ignitions in remote locations f monitor soil moisture and fuel loads to support improved fi re hazard reduction. Individual grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded to successful applicants through the program to support
the testing of technologies over a sixmonth period to demonstrate their feasibility and benefits, Minister for Emergency Services, Jihad Dib, said. Applications for phase one close in early December. “We are helping to develop new detection technologies and testing them in unique Australian conditions… working to identify solutions that allow people to better anticipate natural disasters and prepare for evacuations,” Mr Dib explained. The initiative directly responds to key recommendations from the 2020 Bushfi re Inquiry and the 2022 Flood Inquiry, which called for the use of advanced detection systems to provide earlier warnings and give communities more time to respond to natural hazards. Businesses are encouraged to submit proposals addressing these challenges, with the potential to progress to the next stage of the program which includes scaling-up and piloting technologies in real-world settings.
Geotechnical investigations From Monday 11 November 2024 we will undertake Geotechnical Investigations (GI) to help us understand ground conditions at potential borrow pit sites between Narromine and Gilgandra. Inland Rail engineers and ecologists will accompany crews from our GI contractor CMW Geosciences to 15 locations in the vicinity of the Inland Rail alignment. Work schedule: We will be on site every day for 10 days followed by a fourday break between 11 November and 20 December, weather permitting. Our work hours are 7am to 6pm. No work will occur every second Sunday. Visit inlandrail.info/ What you will see: Clearing of isolated areas to N2NGI2024 enable access to site locations. Site supervision vehicles, mobile machinery, drill rigs and equipment accessing and operating on site. Traffic management when required. As always we will maintain regular contact with impacted landowners and affected residents. Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we carry out these works.

“Spooktacular” turn out for Narromine Halloween fun By SHARON BONTHUYS IT turned out to be a dark and stormy night for Halloween in Narromine this year, as local guys and ghouls (pardon the pun) and their families ignored the grey skies and blustery winds to trek around the local community trick-or-treating. The annual “Halloween Houses” event last Thursday attracted more than 20 homeowners this year, decorating their homes and providing treats (or tricks) for the many young people who were out-and-about. Coordinated by Narromine mum and Halloween fan, Stacey Brown, the event attracted more participating homes this year than in previous events. The Narromine Star caughtup with Ms Brown at a Nellie Vale Road property, where
she was enjoying the chance to trick-or-treat herself this year, instead of hosting visiting children at her own home. “I’ve seen lots of kids around the community tonight, it’s great,” she said. Some simple rules were in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for participants. The trick-or-treating could only be carried out between 5pm and 6.30pm, unless particular addresses noted times outside that timeframe on the visiting schedule prepared by Ms Brown. Participating homes also had to have some decoration outside to indicate they could be approached. Adults were also required to accompany children to the different locations. The Narromine Star was also out and about on Halloween, capturing the action in the community. We’re also grateful to Narromine local, Chris Kelly, for sharing her photos of participants visiting her Halloween home.

“Spooky Success” for Trangie’s Halloween Disco fundraiser event By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN IT was a “spooky spectacle” last Thursday at Trangie Central School where a Halloween Disco was enjoyed by young and old alike, everyone getting into the “spirit” of this ghostly holiday! This was the fi rst Halloween Disco in town for a number of years, with one of the organisers, Katelyn, revealing that the event also served as a way to raise money for local kids who are going to perform at the Schools Spectacular later this month. Katelyn said that, apart from helping a good cause,
it was also a great time for everyone involved. “The best thing is seeing kids without embarrassment and just having fun, no judgement being thrown around, and it was just an overall good time,” Katelyn enthused. The hijinks for the night started at about 5pm with local children aged from about 3–12 years arriving in some amazing costumes, with Katelyn organising a number of traditional kids games such as “Simon Says”, “Freeze”, “Limbo”, and “Wrap the Mummy”. There was also a DanceOff and Best-Dressed Competition with prizes comprising the traditional Halloween big bucket of lollies. After the young kids had enjoyed their fun, the teen-

agers came out and about and participated in the contortion game “Limbo” and, once they started to get into the spirit of the occasion, also held two dance-offs and a big night of dancing. While Katelyn will unfortunately not be available to run the disco next year as she plans to move for university, she is hoping that in the future, there will be other Halloween events for the community to enjoy. “Thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped out and some great kids who just created an amazing atmosphere,” Katelyn concluded, with a big thanks also, for her amazing efforts to help local kids enjoy this traditional northern hemisphere celebration.

Narromine HS students attend Career Connect By NARROMINE HIGH SCHOOL THE National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA) Pathways program held a Career Connect on the Road last week. The NASCA Pathways team organised an inspiring journey for six young women from Narromine and Wellington High Schools, showcasing exciting career opportunities in the Eastern Region. We kicked things off with the incredible Krystal Dallinger-Simpson, who led a captivating weaving session that engaged both students and NASCA staff. On Tuesday, October 29, we visited Nestlé, where the girls took part in a fun-fi lled day, including the “Nestlé Professional Nourish Bowl” cooking challenge, field sales activities, photography session and a trivia contest. Wednesday, October 30, was all about creativity at the PPG Training Centre in Eastern Creek, where they learned the art of spray painting, prepping and painting their own panels. We wrapped up the week with tours of Sydney’s Premier Panel Shops and a fantastic session at the Sydney School of Entrepreneurship, where they explored how to launch a side hustle! A huge shoutout to our amazing young women for their enthusiasm and willingness to dive into these industries.

RURAL HEALTH MATTERS
Antibiotics
HANDLE WITH CARE
Antimicrobial resistance happens when germs, like bacteria, change over time and no longer respond to antibiotics. This can make it harder to treat infections and increases the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human and animal health. November 18 to 24 is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week. This global campaign aims to improve knowledge of antimicrobial resistance and reduce use of antibiotics in human and animal health.
What is antimicrobial resistance? Antimicrobials are medicines that kill or slow down the growth of germs like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Antibiotics are a type of antimicrobial we use to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria that cause infection resist the antibiotic and continue growing instead of dying. This means some antibiotics don’t work properly and infections become harder or even impossible to treat. Resistant bacteria can then be spread to other people and animals.
Why is it important? Since their discovery in the 1940s, antibiotics have saved millions of lives and improved the safety of many lifesaving treatments like organ transplants, cancer therapy and surgeries. Antibiotic resistance is on the rise because we use antibiotics to treat common
infections in both humans and animals. Increasing antibiotic resistance means that routine surgeries and minor infections may become life-threatening once again.
How does AMR affect you? Antibiotic resistant infections are harder to treat and those affected may be sicker for longer or need stronger antibiotics which may have harmful side effects. We have also seen increasing infections with ‘superbugs’ which are bacteria resistant to several antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant infections are responsible for around 500,000 deaths globally each year. By 2050, about ten million people will die each year due to antibiotic resistant infections if we don’t act now.
AUTHOR BIO
What can we do?
Dr Heather Russell
We can reduce antibiotic resistance by preventing infections and only using antibiotics when they are most needed. Regular hand washing and keeping up to date with recommended vaccinations can help to prevent infections. When it comes to antibiotics, they will only work against bacterial infections. Your health professional will prescribe antibiotics in line with current guidelines and antibiotics should only be taken as prescribed. Completing the course of antibiotics and not sharing antibiotics with others will also reduce antimicrobial resistance. More information about antimicrobial resistance and Australia’s response can be found here https://www.amr.gov.au/

Murray Darling Basin Authority hosts stakeholder dinner meeting

By TESS VAN LUBECK AGRICULTURAL stakeholders and Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) representatives gathered at Warren’s Window on the Wetlands (WOW) centre late last month to discuss water distribution in the catchment as part of their regional tour. The authority’s primary role is to set the amount of water that can be taken from the Basin each year, while leaving enough for the ecosystem that depends on it for survival. Achieving this balance, known as the “Sustainable Diversion Limit” (SDL), has long been a complex issue, with agricultural, social, First Nations and environmental interests all to be considered. Stakeholders operating on the Crooked, Marra, and Duck Creeks, which are on the periphery of the Murray Darling Basin, were in attendance at the October 23 event, as was Warren Shire Mayor, Greg Whiteley.
MDBA CEO’s takeaways HAVING toured the area and spoken to stakeholders, MDBA CEO Andrew McConville expressed the valuable insights he had gained and outlined his key takeaways. “Firstly, there's not enough understanding of how the water plan affects what you're doing on the creeks,” he said. “Secondly, as we start to think about the review of the basin plan and as climate changes, the reality will be that we will have to think about the value of some assets, because with climate change there will be difficult decision to be made like how environmental assets are run - like should a wetland remain a wetland,” he added. Mr McConville also addressed the need to “identify the real issues, and what are the positions that are being held”, because these appear to not have changed over time, he said. “I’m not passing judgement but if we want a future for the catchment, we’ve got to all work together,” he said. He emphasised that with cli-
mate change, the basin plan will need to be adaptable, “less set on a prescriptive approach but very set on an outline”.
Stakeholder response STAKEHOLDERS attending the event congratulated Mr McConville’s MDBA team for coming out but urged the authority to consider redistributing government water currently “locked away” towards agricultural use. “We’ve been given a rough deal in the past. A lot of water was given to the [Macquarie] Marshes in the 1990s, and the government has spent a lot on Commonwealth environmental water. We’d ask that we also be recognised,” said one Duck Creek producer. Stakeholders also suggested that the visiting ecologists extend their studies beyond the marshes, to incorporate the surrounding creeks to gain a holistic understanding of how agricultural and environmental systems intersect within the basin. Warren Mayor Greg Whiteley also addressed the crowd, thanking the MDBA for visiting but urged them to “bring the politicians next
time. The decision makers need to be here”. He acknowledged the social, cultural, economic and environmental value of the basin and reiterated the need to get the water allocation balance right. Mayor Whiteley also suggested that the stakeholders on the creeks have been less politically organised than other groups, but their interests and contributions should not be overlooked by the authority going forward. Mr McColville responded by reassuring stakeholders “not to underestimate this sort of outing. They do trickle through and affect the nature of the boardroom discussion”.
Flood recovery programs MS Arminda Ryan from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) rounded out the evening by giving an overview of the flood recovery programs implemented in the wake of floods in recent years. She spoke of the innovative rafts used to recover organic and artificial pollution from the basin’s waterways, includ-
ing noxious weeds, tyres and chemicals, and encouraged stakeholders to store such contaminants far from creeks. EPA NSW had made great headway in flood recovery efforts despite some local scepticism, according to local stakeholders and the MDBA.
Hope for the future
WHILE the Murray Darling Basin will continue to be a contentious issue, local landholder Simon Cant, who was instrumental in orchestrating the event, said he was pleased with how it unfolded. “We are delighted by the outcome,” he said. “Historically the Macquarie Valley conservation has not included the vital creeks that lie to the west of the river and are such a vital part of the ecology. To highlight the government’s previous disregard, both the Marra and Crooked Creeks have faced proposals to pipe the water supply, with no regard to the precious bird and aquatic life they support,” he explained. “At last we feel the value of the creeks has been acknowledged,” he concluded.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Disaster Allowance for Far West THE Australian government Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) is now available to support people whose income has been affected by the severe weather and ongoing power interruptions in the Broken Hill and Central Darling Local Government Areas, as well as the Unincorporated Far West. The DRA is a short-term income support payment, payable up to the equivalent full payment rate of JobSeeker Payment or Youth Allowance. It can be paid to eligible people for up to 13 weeks after a declared disaster. I have been in close contact with federal minister for emergency management, Jenny McAllister, about support for the Far West over the past few weeks. I know this payment will come as a great relief to many and I thank minister McAllister for her support.
Financial assistance for tertiary education WITH HSC exams fi nishing up this week and universi-
AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo LAST Saturday evening was a wonderful celebration at the Buckenbah Collective Launch in Geurie. The focus of the launch was to celebrate the incredible hard work of the 45 local tradespeople who have worked diligently over two and half
ty offers just around the corner; I thought it was timely to highlight the financial assistance available to people who wish to explore tertiary study through university or an apprenticeship. The costs associated with attending tertiary education in another town or city is often the biggest barrier for students from regional, rural and remote Australia. The former coalition government recognised this and implemented a number of improvements to eligibility criteria to ensure more students from regional Australia could access tertiary education without having to face the financial barrier. A range of assistance is available to students including Youth Allowance for students and Australian Apprentices, Austudy, ABSTUDY, the Student Start-up Loan, the Tertiary Assistance Payment, and the Relocation Scholarship. Eligibility for each of these payments varies, so it is important to check the criteria before starting a claim. For more information about fi nancial assistance for tertiary students visit the Services Australia website.
Remote airstrip program opens ORGANISATIONS and community groups who manage airports and airstrips in remote parts of the Parkyears to restore this beautiful heritage building in Geurie, and acknowledge the bravery of Jacinta Haycock and Jessica Wood, who have opened their businesses in the space. Jacinta’s art gallery is just stunning, and Jess has two businesses: The Aviary Cafe, and her commercial catering kitchen, Terre Rouge Fine Food. Claire Booth, Libby Wilson, Jacinta and Jess, you should be extremely proud of your efforts and vision!

The Narromine Star team whizzed around the shire to capture the action at some of the Melbourne Cup luncheons held in Narromine and Trangie. The Narromine Ladies Golf crew organised its traditional luncheon at the Golf Club, and the Narromine USMC held an informal Ladies’ Luncheon.
In Trangie, a fundraiser was held at the Trangie Bowling Club supporting the Cancer Support Group. We’ll have more about particular Cup Day events in next week’s issue. The Cross Roads Hotel in Tomingley didn’t hold a lunch, with publican Darryl telling us they would open a little earlier for anyone wanting a drink and to watch the race that stops the nation. “Harvest takes a lot of our trade at this time of the year,” he said.

Cool, classic cars on show
Narromine Car Club held its latest “Cars and Coffee” catch-up last Sunday. Did you go? PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. NARROMINE Car Club held its monthly “Cars and Coffee” catch-up along Burraway Street Sunday, October 27. This involved a host of classic car models, and also some bikes, stretching along the street for motoring enthusiasts to enjoy. Our favourite cars of the day were the froggreen “beach buggy” and the classic red MG.
Car club members also enjoyed a hot coffee to ward off the extra-cool chill of the late October morning. The Club’s most recent meeting occurred on Friday, October 25 at the Aero Club, and its social media provides details of upcoming events in the district, including catchups by other clubs.
A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH Lamentations: 4 JERUSALEM was, humanly speaking, the dwelling place of God. In the Time of Kings, David and Solomon it was a prosperous city in a relatively
powerful nation. God had chosen this people among all the people to advance His purposes in the world. But the mighty had fallen. This was in one way a one-off historical event. But it still resonates with us today. Jeremiah wrote in a time of much unrest. People were clamouring for some way out of their predicament. The way forward was actually to look back. Not as some sort of blind clinging to traditions, not as dogged conservatism. For the people had gone badly astray from God. They needed to re-
cover the principles God had made with the people. Those who were supposed to hold them to account did not do so. They were political spin-making prophets of their time. They were supposed to point people to God by reminding them of what He required of them. If the people went off the rails, it was the job of the prophets to bring them back on track. The people already had a true spokesman of God in Jeremiah, but whose words they would not heed. The nation’s false prophets had become tools of the authorities. They told the leaders
Russell Everingham funerals
what they wanted to hear. Bad news would only make them unpopular, so they only gave out good news. And God’s people had not only given up on Him but they’d fashioned their own sources of hope, which ultimately didn’t provide the hope they sought. The people had turned their backs on truth and embraced a lie. And history shows it didn’t work out well for them. It’s not an invitation to ceaseless gloom and constant condemnation. Leaders do need to say if there is a problem. People need to know about it and not be soothed with false comfort
when all is well when it is not. Such are the problems when we have problems with belief in the God of the Bible. We can agree that such belief can raise issues and that it’s not a passport to an easy life. It wasn’t for Jeremiah, or Jesus, for that matter. But there’s no alternative at hand. Bringing in some alternative or giving up on Him altogether, will not resolve anything. Lam. 2: 14 (NLT version). Our sometimes perplexing faith is infi nitely preferable to others that don’t hold water. By PHILIP HAND

Students support ‘Day for Daniel’ and ‘Socktober’ fundraisers
Fundraising for two great causes, students from St Augustine’s Parish School recently wearing red for the “Daniel Morcombe Foundation”, and crazy socks for the charity event, “Socktober”.
By ST AUGUSTINE’S PARISH SCHOOL
STUDENTS from St Augustine’s Parish School came together recently in a sea of red clothing and crazy socks, to raise money and awareness for both Catholic Mission and the “Day for Daniel” initiative. Day for Daniel is an annual event held in memory of Daniel Morcombe — who was abducted and murdered in Queensland in late 2003 — with funds collected by the students going to The Daniel Morcombe Foundation which raises awareness around issues to do with child protection.
Socktober, meanwhile, is St Augustine’s Catholic Mission charity event, raising funds for programs like the Dan Bosco Caring Centre in Mongolia — a safe home for children who have been abandoned, are homeless, or are fleeing desperate situations in the developing central Asian country. This coincided with our Day of Prayer and Reflection focusing on gratitude and being thankful for all that we have. We thank all the students, family and friends of St Augustine’s for their support of our fundraising efforts in the past week.

In Brief Around the traps… HERE are the latest little news-grabs from around Narromine Shire and beyond. f Angie Nisbet from the renowned podcast created for everyday rural and remote women, Married to the Land, will host a live Q&A panel in Mount Isa, north-west Queensland, for families attending the Boarding Schools Expo Australia (BSEA) Popup Expo there early next month. The event is being organised and managed by Trangie’s own human dynamo, Amanda Ferrari, and her team — and is their fi nal BSEA event for the year. f As temperatures start to climb into the 30s, with a forecast of 40oC predicted on our publication day, this Thursday, residents are being reminded to be mindful of their water usage and to avoid water wastage. Narromine Shire Council has some handy tips for locals on how to conserve water on its
website. Also ensure there is sufficient water for your pets and stock at all times. f Mark your calendars, people! Thursday, December 5 is the date for the yuletide Late Night Shopping Experience in Narromine this year. So why not support a local business and keep money in your local community? Come on, you know you want to! f In early March 2025, Australia’s longest-running and largest national day of environmental action, “Clean Up Australia Day”, will celebrate 35 years of bringing local communities together to help to improve and conserve our environment. Register now to help Clean Up Australia next March. f The Skin Cancer Doctor is visiting Trangie in early December for checks and treatments at the hospital. Follow them on social media for more details. f Australia Post data has revealed NSW as the second-worst state for dog attacks on posties, with 367 dog-related incidents record-
ed over the past six months. Lidcombe, Alexandria, and Ingleburn recorded the highest number of incidents in the state, and an average of 49 Posties have fallen victim to dog-related incidents each week (seven per day). f There’s apparently a lot of interest in the Business House Bowls at the Trangie Bowling Club which started last Friday. Are you playing in the comp? Drop us a line. Hopefully they’ll send through their results for us to share with readers. f Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana and Hunter officially launched the Orana Hunter Connections and Beyond Golden Highway Transport Study business cases at last week’s roundtable meeting with NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison. Other keynote speakers from the Port of Newcastle, EnergyCo, and Transport for NSW, also spoke to a large audience of industry, business, and state and local government repre-
sentatives, who all have an interest in the upgrade of the Golden Highway road and rail corridor. f The Select Committee on Remote, Rural and Regional Health has extended the closing date for submissions to its inquiry until mid-November. The Committee is examining the implementation of recommendations made in a 2022 Legislative Council committee report, and is currently focusing on recommendations that require the NSW and Australian governments to collaborate on health reform. It will also review progress made on recommendations that involve government consultation with regional communities to improve local healthcare. f Narromine Family Health (Medical) Centre is participating in the “It’s In The Bag” donation drive by the Share The Dignity group that puts together collections of essential products for women and girls in need. There are several op-
tions for supporting people in crisis through the drive, including adults, teens, and mums and bubs. Essential items for the bags include specified toiletries and personal hygiene products, while there are optional items for the mums and bubs’ bags as well as “luxury” products. Residents can also donate old handbags. For further details, contact the medical centre. f The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) met for their second last meeting of the year on Tuesday, November 5 with mortgage holders having to wait until next year to see if their interest rates will be cut. Despite inflation at its lowest rate in almost four years (2.8 percent), the RBA decided to leave interest rates on hold at 4.35 percent for its eighth straight meeting. The RBA will meet for the fi nal time this year in December with economists tipping that a Christmas rate cut is likely.

Sport Outback Dragons bathing in bronze after successful regatta By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN THE paddlers from out West have done their region proud after picking up two bronze medals at the Western Region Regatta at Lake Canobolas in Orange last weekend. Three teams competed at the regatta on Saturday, November 2, with the Outback Dragons ladies team picking up a bronze medal in the mixed 200m race, yielding to Bathurst in second place and Orange in first place. The Outback Dragons mixed team also picked up a bronze medal during the competition, only giving way to the two Sydney teams competing in the regatta, with Tsunami coming in with second place and Pacific Dragons picking up the gold medal for the day. Unfortunately the club’s men’s team was not as successful and missed out on a place on the podium. The Western Region Regatta is an accredited Dragon Boating NSW competition and saw teams from all across the state including teams from metropolitan Sydney. Local teams competing at the regatta included twelve clubs from regional NSW, with paddlers also travelling from Parkes, Forbes, Mudgee, Wagga Wagga and Nar-
rabri to compete in the event. All smiles after a tough race at the Western Region Regatta.
Pan Pacific Masters Games MEMBERS of the Outback Dragons will travel to the Gold Coast this week to compete in the Pan Pacific Masters Games which began on Friday, November 1, and runs until Sunday, November 10. Special congratulations go to Trangie local and defending champion, Rhonda Betts, who has already been competing at the Masters Games, where she picked up a gold medal in the 100m Indoor Rowing Lightweight event in the 60 - 64 years age category. An amazing effort by Rhonda, who now has back-to-back gold medals, with a time this year of 19.6 seconds. Rhonda also won her second medal on Tuesday, November 5, taking away the silver in the 1 minute Indoor Rowing event and was leading until the last 10 seconds until she had nothing left. Another great effort to Trangie local Rhonda!! Good Luck to the Outback Dragons who make their way up north to compete in the Masters Games and we hope you can bring back some more silverware!
IN ACTION! Outback Dragons paddlers full steam ahead mid-race at Lake Canobolas.

Narromine Junior Bombers hit the ground running By NARROMINE JUNIOR CRICKET NARROMINE Junior Bombers Cricket season has commenced and they have hit the ground running with all five teams winning round one. Two teams are still currently undefeated after three rounds were completed in the Dubbo District Junior Cricket Competition. The 14A’s won the fi rst round but two narrow losses to Colts and Wellington/ Gilgandra has them sitting in fourth place on the ladder. The 14B’s are three from three, defeating Rugby, Newtown and Colts in the opening three rounds, which sets them in a strong equal-fi rst position on the table. The 12A’s have started strong with two wins and one loss to Colts in round two. The young squad is currently sitting second on the ladder. The 12B Red team has started well too, with one win and two very narrow losses. One loss was by two runs in round two, and the team is currently sitting ninth on the ladder. The 12b White team is undefeated with three wins, defeating Wellington, Macquarie and Gilgandra. 12B White remains equal-fi rst on the ladder.

Association (WSSA) representative team. Games were played during the last week in October at Bathurst with a round robin competition for teams representing a number of regions across NSW. For the local side, WSSA won their fi rst match against the North Coast region by two wickets and seven runs in a close-run match. They then fol-
lowed up with a win on the Tuesday in their second match against Sydney East by three wickets and 12 runs. Unfortunately, the girls went down in their last matches on the final days of competition, but it was an absolutely massive effort by the young cricketers to come away with two massive wins. Congratulations to Annabelle for her amazing achievement!

In other weekend golf, a field of 16 participated in an 18-hole V-par event on Saturday for trophies provided by Robertson Tyre Service. The winner was Jason McPherson on plus three, from Peter Hutchinson on plus one. The Nearest the Pin (NTP) winner was Matt Brown on the ninth. “Brownie “ also won the Long Drive on the fi rst. The drawn jackpot was won by Steve Gillette. On Sunday, November 3, only 12 players took part in the 4BBB for trophies supplied by Blake and Ryan Richardson.

GERRIES GOLF NOTES
Wins for O’Mally and Green By NORM LEWIS IN the weekly Gerries competition, a field of 18 players participated on a course in great condition with fi ne and warm weather. There was a field of nine in the Ladies section, with all the competition very keen, and the winner was Maida O’Mally with a score of 24 points. Runner-up to Maida was Peta Ferrari on 23 points. We all know Maida as the “Grand Lady of Golf” and it was a good win. We hope “Just Fine” can win the Melbourne Cup as her son Greg is a shareholder in this horse. Bev Woods collected the prize for the Ladies Nearest the Pin (NTP) while Gail White and Anne Harmer tied on 16 points for last place. The count back declared Anne as the winner of this week. Over on the front nine, some nine Gerries took to the course where three players tied for fi rst place on 25 points. The count back system declared Ron Green the winner from Jamie Roberts, with last week’s winner Terry in third place. Graham Shaw took the NAGA prize on 13 points and there was no winner of the NTP for the boys. In all, an enjoyable morning of golf. Next Saturday the weekly event has the ladies on the front nine and the gents on the back. That’s all for this week! Hope everyone enjoyed the ladies’ Melbourne Cup Luncheon earlier this week, and were successful on the punt! See you at the 19th.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES TO achieve an ambition many thought was virtually impossible, required very hard work and an amazing level of perseverance from 63-year-old jockey Tony Williams to make a return to race riding last year with the crowning glory being a winning double including the Cup aboard Titled Tycoon on Saturday, October 26 at Harden Picnics. Incredibly, the brace of winners at Harden came 46 years after his last winning ride in 1978 at a meeting in Victoria. During an apprentice jockey career cut short by rising weight, Tony Williams from a handful of rides kicked home winners at Woodend, Hanging Rock, Benalla and Swan Hill. Since then, Williams has become a highly respected figure with his vast experience in other facets of racing both in Australia and overseas seeing his opinion and advice regarding thoroughbred stud operations, breeding and sales sought by numerous leading players in the industry. The quest by Tony (often referred to as “Tubba”) Williams to make a race riding comeback has been well documented including losing almost 40 kilograms to ride at Bong Bong picnics in October 2023.
Special feature – Tony Williams rides his first winner in 46 years at age 63 Following the Bong Bong debut he has travelled to often very remote meetings seeking his fi rst winner since the comeback and although well ridden his mounts have simply not been good enough on the day. At Harden on Saturday even his fellow jockeys at the meeting were cheering when he returned to scale as the winning rider on the Bill Hayes, Forbes trained Side Cash in the 1300 metres Irving Family-Thompson Rural- Delta Ag Maiden Plate. Racing in third position on top of the hill about 350 metres from the fi nish, Side Cash ($2.10) was pushed through a gap between the leaders by Williams and won by almost a length from Toogoodtobeacod (Emily Waters, $2 favourite) and Be Diplomatic (Kate Petersen, $4). A good field contested the 1400 metres Redbank North and Ray White Real Estate Harden Picnic Cup with the Rod Northam, Scone-trained Titled Tycoon burdened with 75 kg and conceding up to 13 kilograms to some rivals. Always travelling well for Tony Williams, Titled Tycoon ($4.80) worked through an opening topping the hill and won by close to two lengths from Notes (Izzy Neale, $4.20) and Namarari
(Emily Waters, $5). “ I am extremely grateful to Rod Northam and Bill Hayes for entrusting me with the rides and feel very humbled by the many congratulatory calls and messages received since the wins,” Tony Williams said. “I also feel very fortunate to have this happen 46 years after my last winning ride and when I am now almost 64 years of age.” Next meeting for Tony Williams is the Bong Bong picnics on Friday November 22 for which he has four early bookings.
Gun trainer Connie Greig racks up winners at five venues in 12 days as Mrs Bull salutes at Dubbo on Saturday THE win by Mrs Bull at Dubbo on Saturday (November 2) gave local trainer Connie Greig winners at five different venues in the space of 12 days. Clever Cookie won at Orange followed by Real Salty (Harden), Nevada Showgirl (Mudgee) and I’m Scarlett (Quirindi) before Mrs Bull after a solitary win and 18 placings from 32 starts broke through again to win at Dubbo. Taking prizemoney earn-
ings to over $110,000, Mrs Bull (Mikayla Weir, $4.80 favourite) tackled the leader Slush Fund (Chelsea Hillier, $5.50) in the straight and after a stirring battle won by a half head with Ms Reeves (Siena Grima, $7.50) almost three lengths away third in the 1300 metres Southlakes Estate Benchmark 58 Handicap. Enjoying the Spring racing atmosphere, thousands were trackside to see an all Dubbo fi nish in the opening event, the 2200 metres MAAS Group Holdings Western Eagle Benchmark 58 Handicap. Trained by Dar Lunn, Hot Gospel (Adrian Layt, $5) reached the lead then lasted to beat the Garry Lunn trained Raiding (Siena Grima, $4.40) by a half head with a halflength to Nevada Showgirl (Andrew Banks, $6) from the Connie Greig stable. Garry Lunn later won the 1600 metres A1 Earthwork and Comet Equipment Class One and Maiden Plate with Ain’t She Swell owned by Peter Harrow and partners. Amongst the tailenders in the big field, Ain’t She Swell (Siena Grima, $4.60) produced a powerful fi nish to win by a half neck from Autumn Song (Clayton Gallagher, $3.50 favourite) and Star Intrigue (Kody Nestor, $4.20). Local trainer Michael Mul-
holland followed his second with Autumn Song with a good win by Jet Empress in the 1000 metres Macquarie Geotechnical Benchmark 66 Handicap. Raced by Mulholland in partnership with Kel Turner, Jet Empress (Shayleigh Ingelse, $2.50 favourite) advanced the record to four wins and three placings when coming from off the pace to beat Gidgee Guy (Ellen Hennessy, $41) and Gutsy (Clayton Gallagher, $4.80). Yet another close finish at Dubbo when the Brett Thompson, Gulgong-trained Hammering Away ( Jake Pracey-Holmes, $6 to $5.50) arrived in time to beat Prince Of Sepang (Shannen Llewellyn, $3.10 favourite) by a head with the leader Quick Onyx (Clayton Gallagher, $4.20) two lengths away third in the 1200 metres Hello Sport Class One Handicap. Other winners were the Lou Mary Scone trained Open Pearly Gates (Mikayla Weir, $1.45 to $1.35 fav.) and Magic Forest (Mathew Cahill, $4) trained at Goulburn by Danielle Seib. Warren has been very active promoting the big Cotton Cup meeting with the logo “Frock Up, Suit Up and Show Up to the Randwick Of The West” and has organised a host of attractions for Sunday, November 10.

NO social bowls results this week due to our tournament on Sunday, November 3. But I do know that on Thursday, October 31, 24 players took to the green. It was good to see an ex-Narromine local in Rabs and his fiancée back in town and enjoying a game of bowls. Our annual Robert Handsaker Ford Triples tournament on Sunday was a huge success, with 24 teams participating over the weekend. Unfortunately, the local teams were not in the running for the bickies, although they tried hard. But it is noted that Lionel Ayoub and team received the encouragement award. Round winners over the weekend were: 1. Cuz Dalton and team from Trangie 2. Zac Miller and team 3. Andrew Barber and team from Trangie 4. Adam Morrissey and team 5.

A huge thank you goes out to our major sponsor of this tournament, Robert Handsaker Ford, also to Empowered Choices and Powyer Holdings.

Appreciation also to President Kevin for organising and running the event, Duane Faro for updating the scores, and to the bar staff for keeping everyone refreshed because it was a warm weekend. Thank you also to the ladies for providing the refreshments on Sunday after bowls. Coming up The Club Fours Championship draw is on the board with the fi rst round to be played this weekend. Our twice-weekly raffles are on and keep an eye out for our upcoming Christmas raffles. Joke of the week:
Paddy and Mick, who have never been fishing in their lives, wanted to try their hand at ice fishing. They read many books on the subject, and fi nally, after getting all the necessary tools together, they made for the nearest frozen lake. After positioning their comfy stools, they started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed: “THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!” Startled, Paddy and Mick moved further down the ice, swigged down a beer, and began to cut yet another hole in the ice. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed: “THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!” They were now starting to get quite worried, so they moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, swigged down another beer, and tried again to cut a hole. The voice came once more, but louder, “THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!” They stopped, looked skyward, and said, “Is that you, Lord?” The voice replied, “No, you idiots, I’m the Ice Rink Manager!”
Until next week – have a good week and good bowling.

High-flying women soar above Narromine in gliding triumph Narromine Star Journalist, Sophia McCaughan and gliding instructor-in-training, Daniela Helbig took to the skies on Friday, November 1.
L TO R: Jenny Thompson, Melysha Turnbull, Daniela Helbig and Sophie Curio who were in Narromine for gliding-instructor training.
Inside a gliding aircraft which is a non-powered aircraft and uses the wind to fly. By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN IT’S been a busy few weeks for the Narromine Aerodrome, with an all-women gliding crew flying into the shire late last month for a gliding instructor’s course. The three women — Melysha Turnbull, Daniela Helbig, and Sophie Curio — made their way to the Gliding Club early last week to take part in the local program learning how to train the next generation of gliders. Melysha made the drive all the way from Brisbane to attend the nationally accredited course, with Daniela and Sophie travelling from Sydney. Narromine Gliding Club began offering full-time gliding instructor courses earlier this year, supervised by a Level Three Instructor under Gliding Federation of Australia oversight.

The course held at the Gliding Club is the first-ever national women’s program to train female gliding instructors. Melysha, Daniela, and Sophie subsequently g raduated with a nationally-recog nised gliding instructor quali f ication. Sophie and Melysha successfully attained their Level One rating, with Sophie also competing at the World Championships of Gliding for Team Australia. Daniela attained her Level Two rating, which formally makes her the best female instructor in NSW. Daniela and Sophie — both originally from Germany — told the Narromine Star that what makes the local Gliding Club one of the best in the country is the infrastructure, weather, and hospitality. “Weather is the biggest

thing, but the infrastructure makes a big difference,” they said. “It is lovely around here you know, the town is very accommodating and it makes a big difference, it is an aerodrome that makes gliding pilots very welcome, as a whole operation it makes it possible for us to do what we want to do,” they added. There are very few female gliding instructors in Australia, and all three women want to break the “glass cockpit” and inspire the next generation of young women to reach new heights in the niche sport of gliding. Level Three instructor, Jenny Thompson, also attended the training course to assess and guide the three women through the week’s assessments and training. Jenny is a five-time Aus-

tralian record-holder and has participated in two world championships, with Daniela and Sophie both telling the Narromine Star that Jenny is someone that they have long admired, even when they were living in Germany. “We all look up to [Jenny], having been through all the obstacles in her gliding career, and it’s nice that she has passed on her knowledge to us, and we can pass it on to the next generation,” they said. Melysha told the Narromine Star that, after she gets her qualification, she hopes to take her skills back up north and encourage more young women into the sport. “The goal for me is to go back and just be a role model for the young teenagers to be encouraged to come and fly,” Melysha said. “I’ll be the only female in-
structor [at my gliding club] so it’s a lot of pressure, but then hopefully people can come see me and then surpass me,” she added. Passionate supporters point out that gliding is an all-inclusive social and competitive sport, attracting people from all ages and walks of life. In Australia, you can fly solo in a glider from the age of 15 with some pilots able to continue gliding well into their eighties. Daniela encourages the local residents of Narromine to head down to the Gliding Club and take fl ight. “This sport is just so much fun and you can do so many things and you can do it all very safely,” Daniela said. “There are a whole lot of different things people can do,” she concluded.
