Mal Carpenter unveils History of Byron and Agriland

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN It was a work four decades in the making when long-time Trangie resident, Mal Carpenter, unveiled his highly anticipated history book last Friday at Trangie Library.

Mal was joined by members of the Trangie Local History Group and local residents at the book launch, celebrating an important part of the region’s agricultural heritage.

Mal told the Narromine Star he was motivated to publish “History of Byron and Agriland Pty Ltd” because he believed it was only fair to recognise the contribution that the local institution has made to the Narromine Shire.

“I worked there for over 40 years and I thought it was important that people know the history,” he explained.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN It’s not a list anyone wants to be on, but Narromine local government area (LGA) topped the table for residential structural fi res in Western NSW during the 2024 winter season.

This revelation came as households across the region were being urged to check their smoke alarms for Fire and Rescue NSW’s (FRNSW) annual Winter Fire Safety campaign.

According to data by the NSW Government in the reporting period from June to August of last year, Narromine Shire had 10 residential structural fires reported.

Early detection Rural men a key message urged to see for this year’s their GP during Bowel Cancer Men’s Health Awareness Week Month

THE NARROMINE STAR, Friday, June 13, 2025 - Page 3

narrominestar.com.au

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month; a time devoted to raising awareness of Australia’s second-deadliest cancer.

Statistics show that each week, around 300 people are diagnosed with the disease and 100 will lose their lives, with about one in 13 Australians developing bowel cancer in their lifetime with the disease often starting without any noticeable symptoms.

In good news, about 90 per cent of bowel cancers can be successfully treated when they detected early, with regular screening helping to reduce deaths.

While most people are embarrassed to talk about their bowel health, Bowel Cancer Australia is urging people, especially those in rural communities, to make sure they are being regularly screened and to be aware of any signs or symptoms of bowel cancer. This comes at a time where the rates of bowel cancer in Australians under 50 are now the highest in the world.

Research released in late May, also revealed that there has been 28,265 cases of aggressive types of early-onset bowel cancer over the past 30 years, including an estimated 4347 additional early-onset bowel cancer cases attributable to the rising rates of the disease.

The study conducted by the University of Melbourne, examined bowel cancer rates among those aged 20-49 (earlyonset) and found that rising early-onset bowel cancer rates resulted in 2398 excess cases or a 26 per cent increase in observed cases compared to expected numbers if the increase did not occur, report author, Professor, Mark Jenkins, said.

“Our inability to halt the rising burden of early-onset bowel cancer

ection Guide

over the last thirty-years, has resulted in over 4300 excess cases being diagnosed among young Australians,” he explained.

His Australian research is further supported by international findings which confirmed that Australia now has the highest rates of early-onset bowel cancer in the world, with a faster increase found in women than in men.

Bowel Cancer Australia Chief-Executive, Julien Wiggins, said that awareness among general practitioners needs to be improved so that younger people can be screened for the disease.

“As screening is not routinely offered to people at average risk under 25, we need to improve awareness among GPs and the public about the red flag signs and symptoms of early-onset bowel cancer,” he said.

Bowel cancer screening participation rates for people aged 50 to 74 years in the Western NSW Local Health District (LHD) was 39.7 per cent, significantly lower than the national rate of 43.8 per cent in 2021.

The state government is urging eligible people to take the bowel screening test, with only 40 per cent of people in NSW who receive the kit, taking the test.

The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program’s test is available to those aged between 45-74 and is the easiest way to detect the early signs of bowel cancer.

People can reduce their risk of bowel cancer by eating a diet that is rich in vegetables, fruit, cereals and wholegrains, maintaining a healthy weight, and being physically active.

People aged 50-74 can receive a free bowel screening test to the address they have registered with Medicare, with those aged 45-49, needing to request their first test kit.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Monday, June 9 marked the beginning of International Men’s Health Week with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) urging men living in regional, rural and remote communities to see their general practitioner (GP).

It comes after a campaign was launched by the Healthy Male and the Centre for Male Health called “See Your GP”.

ACCRM President, Dr Rod Martin, says the campaign’s message of ‘before you take everyone else’s advice, talk to your doctor’, is especially vital for men in rural, remote and First Nations communities.

“Too often, rural men put off seeing a doctor, whether it is due to distance, busy workloads, or the old attitude of ‘she’ll be right’,” Dr Martin said.

“But the truth is, early checks and conversations with your doctor can save your life and your Rural Generalist (RG) doctor is there to help you, not judge you.”

Recent data shows men living in

earlier than those in cities, and rates of potentially avoidable deaths are two and a half times higher according to the ACCRM. According to data by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIWH) in 2022, Australian males experienced a greater share of ill health and death (53 per cent) than females (47 per cent).

Australian males lost more healthy years of life from dying prematurely (54 per cent) than from living with disease and injury (46 per cent).

Dr Martin said many of these deaths are entirely preventable.

“When you live outside the urban footprint, you can’t afford to delay your healthcare,” he emphasises.

“Having a regular check-in with your RG one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family.”

“RG’s live and work in rural and remote communities, and they have knowledge and understanding of the unique mental and physical health risks men face.”

Local Court Matters

Repeat drink-driver avoids additional jail time, just

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN A repeat driving offender has avoided additional jail time after being found guilty of his fourth drink-driving offence and his second at a highrange PCA. Junior Ryan Mawson appeared in front of Magistrate Aaron Tang at Narromine Local Court on Wednesday, June 4, for offences including highrange drink driving, a “burnout” offence, and for taking police on a pursuit through the main streets of Narromine.

Mr Mawson has been in NSW Police custody since January this year and appeared in front of the court in his prison greens.

The court heard that Mr Mawson has an extensive criminal history in regards to driving while under the influence, where he was first done for mid-range drink-driving in 2016, high-range in 2017, and then another mid-range charge just last year.

Mr Mawson piqued the interest of officers attached to the Orana Mid-Western Police District on Sunday, January 26, this year at 2.15 am that morning where he was doing a burnout in the middle of Narromine.

When police attempted to pull over his vehicle, Mr Mawson then f led from police where the officers initiated a pursuit.

The court heard that Mr Mawson was travelling at high speeds and hit 100km per hour on Burroway Street and over the 110 km per hour speed limit on the Mitchell Highway.

Magistrate Tang did give credit to Mr Mawson for eventually stopping the police pursuit ,where he was then subjected to a breath test.

The court heard that he blew 0.196 which is nearly four times the legal limit.

Magistrate Tang told the court when handing down his decision during sentencing that Mr Mawson’s risk of reoffending is appropriately addressed by a full time custodial sentence.

“I have considered there is

Man guilty of stalking and intimidation avoids jail time

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN A man who has previously served time in custody, has avoided jail after being convicted of stalking and intimidating an individual who had an apprehended violence order (AVO) out against him.

Zachariah Hodges appeared in front of Magistrate Aaron Tang at Narromine Local Court on Wednesday, June 4, on a stalking/intimidating charge.

The offences are from last year, and relate to phone calls that Mr Hodges made to his victim between September 10 and October 18 while he was already subject to an AVO for the protection of the victim and that he was not able to make contact except between a lawyer or to talk to his children.

The calls continued to even after the victim made it clear to Mr Hodges that they wanted to be left alone, and made it clear that the victim would be going straight to police if he attempted to contact her again.

The court heard that Mr Hodges also contacted another individual where he was also subject to an AVO where he made 386 phone calls with a total of 40 hours of conversations between the pair.

While Mr Tang recognised that the victim was engaging with Mr Hodges, it was ultimately up to him to adhere to the conditions outlined in the AVO. “Ultimately, it was your responsibili-

ty to keep your court orders... you have to your credit some knowledge recognise the seriousness of the breaches of the AVOs and going against the court orders,” the court heard.

Before Mr Tang handed down his decision, the court heard from Mr Hodges’ defence barrister that he had already served jail time on other unrelated offences and was only released in January this year.

His defence explained that since he has left custody, he has been engaging with men’s behaviour programs that have shifted his perspective and deterred him from further re-offending.

“He has found the men’s behaviour program to be quite enlightening, and has found the insights in the shifts of perspective quite informative... with good prospects of rehabilitation,” the court heard.

“There is an unlikelihood of reoffending... the prospect of going back to jail looms large on him.”

Mr Tang handed down a total sentence of six months and would be appropriate to be served in means of an intensive corrections order and that the AVO’s for both of the victims would continue.

The court heard that Mr Hodges, as part of his order, would need to attend Forbes Community Corrections, continue attending and engaging with the men’s behaviour program and seek treatment for drug and alcohol problems.

not only a need to deter you but to send a message to the general public to stop these type of offences,” the court heard.

The total effective custodial sentence handed down to Mr Mawson was one of 12-months with a non-parole period of four months.

However, Mr Mawson’s sentenced was back-dated from the time he entered custody when he was arrested in late January and he was made eligible for release in late May which meant when he faced court last week, he was eligible for parole.

He is also subjected to a driving disqualification period of two years for the police pursuit and another nine month

disqualification for the highrange drink driving charge which will all be backdated to January 26 this year.

The court imposed that he would also be subject to a conditional release order for six months, must report to Dubbo Community Corrections within seven days of his release, attend a traffic offenders program within six weeks and attend a drug and alcohol program within four weeks.

Mr Mawson indicated to Magistrate Tang and the court that he understood the punishment and what was being imposed onto him as a result of the various driving offences.

Homeless Dubbo woman not guilty of hindering police

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN A woman who initially attended Dubbo Police Station to notify police that she had been kicked out of her accommodation, has been found not guilty of hindering a police officer in the execution of their duty.

Leoni Norquay appeared in front of Magistrate Tang at Narromine Local Court on Wednesday, June 4, for a hearing after it was alleged she hindered a police officer in the execution of duty, during a supposed altercation at the station.

Ms Norquay attended Dubbo Police Station on Tuesday, November 14, to notify police that she had been made homeless after she was kicked out of her accommodation at a caravan park that she was staying at.

At the time, Ms Norquay was on bail for another unrelated offence and part of her bail conditions was that she had a fixed residential address and that she had to notify authorities if her circumstances had changed. If she did not do so within 48 hours, the order stated, she would then be in breach of her bail and subject to arrest.

The court heard that Ms Norquay attended the police station with her belongings and a shopping trolley which had an adult dog and her puppies in it where she was attempting to notify police of her change in circumstances and try to see if she would be able to receive any support to find new accommodation.

The police officer provided her evidence in the witness box, where the court heard that Ms Norquay attended the police station where she was quite emotional and the situation began to escalate.

When police attempted to assist Ms Norquay, she became more distressed and began to yell and the court heard that the police officer tried numerous times to calm her down before she was arrested for breaching her bail.

“No matter what I said to her she just yelled and screamed, no matter how many times I tried to say to her, she

would not listen at all,” the police officer told the court.

“The only other way I can deal with her is by arresting her, I informed her she was under arrest for breaching her bail.”

The court then heard that when the police officer attempted to grab her, Ms Norquay attempted to pull away and lift the shopping trolley that was full of puppies.

“Another officer tried to move it (the shopping trolley), she saw that, and it started to lift, she wouldn’t let go and she threw herself to the ground and then when we grabbed her and pulled her through the station and into the custody room,” the police officer explained.

The court was then played CCTV footage of the incident, which showed Ms Norquay being carried through the police station by three to four officers.

In the Defence’s cross-examination of the prosecution witness, the police officer was quizzed about the NSW Bail Act 2013 and if she was aware about all the options available to her besides arrest when dealing with Ms Norquay’s breach of bail.

The police officer was also questioned over her statement she had provided nearly two months later on Wednesday, December 18, which left out details about the incident.

Ultimately, after hearing the prosecution evidence, cross-examination by the Defence, and questioning by the NSW Police Prosecutor, Mr Tang decided that Ms Norquay was not guilty in the matter.

In his decision, Mr Tang explained the Bail Act and found the officer was not acting in the execution of duty at the point of time of the alleged conduct and it was not necessary for him to examine the alleged hindering of the police officer.

“It was so slight it would not constitute a hinder, I am not satisfied that the conduct made it hinder,” the court heard.

“I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt,” Mr Tang concluded.

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK

By NARROMINE CWA

Who doesn’t like a good Chinese-style meal? Whip up this quick and tasty chow mein, packed with crisp veggies, tender noodles, and savoury sauce, for an easy weeknight dinner the whole family will love!

BY PAT RILEY The ability of the organisation known as Little Wings to provide both air and land transport for seriously ill children living in remote and rural areas was enhanced recently by a significant donation from Trangie Action Group.

Trangie Action Group is an organization comprised of local people, all volunteers, who work to improve amenities for the community.

With a small but efficient medical facility that is at most times adequate for the needs of a small, regional community, there is, however always the potential for serious accident or illness, making it necessary to seek help from a larger, better equipped medical facility.

It is in cases such as this that the ‘tyranny of distance’ can mean the differ-

ence between life and death.

Little Wings is a not-for-profit charity that provides transport, with volunteer pilots, free of charge for children in rural, regional and remote areas of NSW, ACT and Queensland.

The aim is to help sick children in these areas access specialised medical services not available outside large cities and towns.

Little Wings also alleviates the stress involved in long-distance travel, reduces the time spent travelling and is cost-saving in that there is no charge for the service.

An amount of $5000, raised locally by the Trangie Action Group will be used in its entirety by Little Wings to fuel planes that will ultimately allow the charity to extend its service to a wider area.

What you need…

500 grams steak mince 1/4 cup shredded cabbage 250 grams beans 2 diced carrots 2 sticks of celery 1 large chopped onion 2 tablespoon rice 1 packet chicken noodle soup 1 teaspoon curry powder 2 1/2 cups water

Remembering Bob Treseder

THE NARROMINE STAR, Friday, June 13, 2025 - Page 7

narrominestar.com.au

Longtime Narromine resident Bob Treseder passed away late last month, aged 87. We are grateful to his family and others who have provided reflections to publish in the Narromine Star. Vale, Bob Treseder.

The eulogy from Bob’s funeral on Friday, June 6, is reprinted below, including reflections from sons Pete, Gaz, and daughter Vicki.

Pete: Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you all for being here today to celebrate and honour the life of our father, Robert Charles Treseder - known to most as Bob. Dad was born in Narromine 87 years ago to Walter John and Ferna Jane Treseder. He grew up with his three younger siblings and spent his early years attending Narromine Public School, later finishing his schooling at Manly Public.

From an early age, Dad’s path was clear - he stepped straight out of school and into Treseder’s Hardware, working alongside his father and beginning what would become a lifelong dedication to his work, his family, and his community.

Dad didn’t just work in the hardware store - he lived it.

He completed his building apprenticeship through the business and later added skills in bookkeeping and signwriting. But more than the technical knowledge, he served Narromine with heart. The store wasn’t just a job for Dad - it was a calling. He wasn’t driven by money, but by service.

He knew every customer, every job, and probably most cypress pine floorboards in town.

Gaz: One of my favourite stories about Dad comes from his school days at Manly Public.

He and one of his mates decided to wag school for the day - a bit of harmless mischief. But their low-profile adventure didn’t stay secret for long. The very next day, there they were - caught in a photograph on the front page of the Telegraph, curiously peering at something of interest. It’s classic Dad, always curious, always drawn to what was happening around him, and somehow managing to get into a bit of trouble with a smile on his face.

In September 1959, he married our Mum, Barbara Woolfe, and together they raised three children - Peter, Vicki, and myself. Shortly after I was born, Mum’s niece Julie came to live with us, and from then, we were a family of six. We have many treasured memories from those years - of the shop, of the farm, and of a home filled with laughter, mischief, and love.

Pete: In 1966, Dad joined the local fire brigade. For the next 47 years, he would answer the call - often literally - at all hours of the day and night.

As kids, we knew the sound of those fire bells. They had a different ring to the telephone, and when they rang, you could feel the shift in the house - urgency, purpose, and a bit of worry. But mostly, pride. Dad was off to help someone. Over the years, he fought some of

the town’s biggest fires - Western Stores in 1967, his own shop, Treseder’s, in 1981, the Gary Wall car dealership that same year, Mungeribar Manor in 1993, Imperial Hotel in 1996, among others. He even fought fires alongside his son, myself for 28 years. Dad’s brass fire hat is on his coffin today.

In 1981, a major turning point came when Treseder’s shop burnt down. As you can see from the photo in the order of service, it was a large and devastating fire - one that shook our family deeply. The fire broke out on a Saturday morning. But what happened next said everything about the kind of community Dad had helped build - and the kind of man he was. The local community rallied around him without hesitation. Trucks rolled in, front-end loaders arrived, and neighbours friends, customers, and even strangers - came to help clear the wreckage.

By Sunday night, less than 48 hours later, the block was cleared and ready for Dad to rebuild. It was an incredible act of community spirit, and our family was truly humbled and overwhelmed by that support. It spoke volumes about the respect people had for Dad - his work ethic, his integrity, and the relationships he had quietly built over so many years.

Vicki: The fire brigade gave Dad strong friendships - with his son Peter, Ewen Jones, Lenny Shepherdson, Norman Newman, James Purvis and Robert Hawkins, to name a few. Mates he’d trust with his life. And the same could be said of the men he built his home with in the late 50’s - Bert Barwick, Alan Harper, Frank Cullen and Mr Cullen. Each weekend, they’d take

turns working on each other’s homes. It took three years to build all five houses. That’s commitment, hard work, and community - values Dad lived by. Dad went on to build two more homes in Murgah Street and Crossley Drive.

When we were young kids, Dad bought a farm out at Minore. Our weekends became a whirlwind of sheep mustering and feeding animals - always eventful, always unpredictable, never quite by the book.

But looking back, those were the days that we remember.

Pete: Some of our most treasured memories as kids were our yearly holidays to Ballina.

It was a simple tradition, but one that meant the world to us - time on the beach, sun on our backs, sand between our toes, and of course, fish and chips wrapped in paper, eaten with salty fingers.

And then there was Dad, always with a fishing rod not far from hand. He had a knack, or maybe just stubborn patience, for landing enormous jewfish. He’d haul them in with quiet pride, and we’d all gather around, wide-eyed. What made it even more special was that Dad continued this tradition with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He passed down the love of fishing, and the joy of slowing down and being together.

Vicki: Dad had passions many of them. He loved the bush. He loved felling pine trees. In one of his less lucid moments recently, he told Charmaine he had been to heaven. She asked him what he saw, and he said, “A forest of beautiful, straight cypress pines.” We all laughed, because of course, to Dad, that was heaven.

Dad had a craftsman’s hands and an engineer’s mind. I re-

member sitting with him in the mill area after a game of squash, and he’d show me pieces of timber he was proud of - weatherboards he’d planed with care, pine floorboards made to exact millimetre specs. To others, it looked difficult. To us, it was simple: Dad would just make it. He loved his timber and understood the qualities and idiosyncrasies of cypress pine.

One of the things I always loved was how I could call Dad to explain how to fix anything in the house. No matter what it was, he’d know how to do it - and how to explain it.

One memory that stands out was just before we got our veranda sanded. When we pulled the carpet up, the floorboards were bouncing. Dad, well into his 80s, climbed under the house with me.

He handed me a nail and asked me to hold it while he hammered. It was classic Dad, still helping, still teaching, still right there beside me.

Another memory that always makes me smile is pulling up at Dad’s house and finding him out in the driveway, filling potholes at 85.

There he was, stooped over, with his wheely walker and pushing a wheelbarrow.

I said, “Dad, what are you doing?” He looked up and simply said, “Why? The potholes just need some gravel.” Then he put his head down and got straight back to it. That was Dad - quietly determined, never making a fuss, just getting on with the job.

Another passion of his was model trains. He’d solder each tiny piece, run tracks through his sheds, build whole miniature worlds. And although these trains were works of patience and precision, Dad often let the great-grandkids have a

go. He loved their joy. One of his favourite engines is with him today, resting on his coffin - a small symbol of a big heart.

Dad was playful, mischievous, even. Life with him was never boring. He’d chase us around the house, surprise us with frogs, or give us a gentle “burn” with his coffee spoon when we weren’t paying attention. And he was always, always happy to see you - greeting you with that warm smile we’ll all remember.

Dad was lucky to have been loved, by two remarkable women. He was married to our Mum, Barbara, for over 28 years. Over the years, Dad’s family has grown – as each of us married, Dad has welcomed Annette, Anthony and Zsusie into his family. He now has 10 Grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. In the year 2000, Dad married Charmaine, and with warmth and generosity, he welcomed her adult children - Chris, Sharon, and Wendy - into his life. He also embraced Charmaine’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren, extending his love and care to an even larger family circle.

Charmaine’s devotion to Dad has been beyond words. As Dad’s health has declined, she has patiently loved and supported him. She sat by his bed every day, showing love, care, and strength that we were in awe of.

Gaz: In Dad’s later years, when he was still out there carting logs and dropping pine trees, something most people half his age wouldn’t attempt, there was a running joke in the family. He’d cut down a tree, put the chainsaw down for just a moment… and then spend the next hour trying to find it again. We used to say that he’d lost more time looking for chainsaws than actually cutting wood. But that was Dad - determined, a bit stubborn, and never one to give up, even if it meant retracing his steps through the bush a dozen times.

Pete: The grandchildren have their own special memories of Dad, ones that will stay with them forever. They fondly remember Sunday night dinners at Amy and Andrew’s, where Dad and Charmaine would join them around the table. It was pretty simple, good food, laughter and being together. And of course, there was the occasional haircut for Dad thrown in when needed.

We would like to recognise the medical staff who have done a wonderful job of caring for Dad and our family over the past few months.

To sum up Dad’s life in a few pages feels impossible.

He was a husband, a father, a pop, a grand pop, a mate, a builder, a firefighter, a train enthusiast, a timber lover, and a community man. He gave his all to everything and everyone he loved.

So, goodbye for now, Dad. You’ve earned your rest.

May your heaven be full of straight pines, smooth rails, and good mates.

Thank you.

Classroom News Trangie Central School News

Trangie Central School students in Year Five and Six went to Sydney for their school camp this week.

Years Five and Six off to the “Big Smoke”!

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN It has been a busy few weeks for students at Trangie Central School (TCS) as they count down the last remaining weeks of Term Two. This included students in Years Five and Six at TCS heading off to Sydney this

week for their school camp.

Upon their return, the school community will sure be keen to hear how it all went in the “big smoke”!

Late last month, students also welcomed eight little balls of yellow feathers into the agricultural plot.

Eight new little chickens have been welcomed into the TCS family, with many thanks to Mark who came and moved the chickens from the incuba-

tor to the brooder box.

In sporting news, Matt Ellis from Cricket NSW visited TCS earlier in the term to run some cricket sessions with students.

Students in Year Two, Three and Four also had the opportunity to learn some new skills during lunch time sessions, while Years Five and Six have been enjoying their physical education lessons run by Matt for the past couple of weeks.

Years Five and Six class-

New little chicks have been welcomed to the agricultural plot.

room teacher, Mary Bailey, said in the TCS newsletter, that it was an excellent opportunity for all students to get involved with a new sport and refine their developing cricket skills.

Congratulations to pupils Thomas Cumberland and Berkley Hall, who represented Gobondery/NARRAF at the Western Region Championships in May. Both boys were selected at

trials to participate in the competition, and TCS are so happy that they had the chance to further develop their soccer skills and play with teammates from other schools in the district.

Berkley and Thomas both said in the TCS newsletter, that it was a lot of fun and it was great meeting all the kids from the different schools.

Narromine School News

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN The Narromine Star is pleased to report on all the latest achievements, highlights, and fun activities from schools in the district.

NARROMINE PUBLIC SCHOOL Narromine Public School’s (NPS) Kindergarten to Year Two “Supported Learning Students” competed in the Inclusive Sports Unit Boccia (modified Bocce) competition in Dubbo earlier this week.

Students also socialised with other pupils from different schools and enhanced their confidence, throwing skills, and tactical understanding.

In more good news, the NPS team made the grand final and equalled third overall in the competition.

In other sporting news, in a double-header for the NPS Girls and Boys Touch Football, they took on Dubbo Public School in the third round of the PSSA Knockout Competition.

Both teams played some fantastic footy with awesome sportsmanship,

but the Narromine teams were ultimately defeated by the more-experienced Dubbo sides.

Kevin Geyer and Lily Spackman commended both teams for their strong defence and amazing teamwork.

Finally, 12 brave students competed at the Gobondery NARRAF at the WSSA Cross Country Carnival in freezing conditions earlier this week.

Amazing congratulations to Ava White, who placed second in the 11-year-old Girls event and will now go on to compete at the NSW PSSA Cross Country Championships.

Well done to all the students who rain their best and represented the school so well; NPS is extremely proud of all those who competed.

ST AUGUSTINE’S PARISH SCHOOL Congratulations to Bede, Tommy, Albert, Jim, and Henry who were selected for the Wilcannia-Forbes Diocesan Rugby Union Team to play in Forbes later this month.

Another congratulations goes out to Indi, Sailor, Jaggar, and Bede

who also competed at the NSW CPS Cross Country Competition; everyone is incredibly proud of you!

St Augustine’s has also announced that their whole school musical for 2025, will be the 1930s classic, The Wizard of Oz!

NARROMINE HIGH SCHOOL Congratulations to Spencer, Paddy, and Narcalia, all dedicated students from Narromine High’s Music Elective classes, who have been successfully selected to attend the prestigious Western NSW Rock Band Camp to be held in Dubbo later this term.

The trio put in an impressive effort to prepare and record their audition pieces and showcasing their talent, commitment, and passion for music.

Their hard-work paid off with all three receiving good news of their acceptance to the Camp late last week.

The students are thrilled by the opportunity and are eagerly looking forward to a full week of musical collaboration and performance during Week Nine, congratulations!

NARROMINE PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN Earlier this month, music teacher Mrs Brooke Tonks from Narromine High School visited Narromine Preschool to share a very special song with the youngest members of our community.

Mrs Tonks spent the morning teaching the children Aunty Di’s lullaby, a beautiful and gentle song written by Aunty Di, a proud Wiradjuri elder.

The lullaby carries with it the warmth, wisdom, and cultural richness of the Wiradjuri tradition.

The preschoolers were incredibly enthusiastic, with big smiles, loud singing voices, and lots of expressive hand movements to bring the song to life.

It was a joyful and heartwarming experience to see the children so eager to learn and connect through music.

Events like this highlight the importance of cultural sharing and community connection from an early age. Mrs Tonks said the preschoolers were fantastic in their singing!

Tribute to Deputy Captain Robert Charles (Bob) Treseder 401005

THE NARROMINE STAR, Friday, June 13, 2025 - Page 13

narrominestar.com.au

Vale, Bob Treseder.

By EWEN JONES My earliest memories of Bob are when I used to attend St Mary’s Anglican Church every Sunday with my beautiful Mother. Bob and Lenny Shepherdson used to assist Reverend Renshaw up on the altar.

They were not “altar boys”, and I am not sure of the official title.

Bob joined the NSW Fire Brigades on September 15, 1966. Bob told me once that he watched the Narromine Fire Brigade fight the big fi re at the Flower Mill in 1964, and thought they did a pretty good job, and he might join up for a couple of years. A “couple of years” ended up being an outstanding career of 47 years.

Bob is still the longest serving Firefighter to ever serve at 401 Station Narromine, however, Bob’s son Peter notches up 40 years on December 15, 2025.

The Captain at the time Bob joined was the late Ted Jackson. Bob was promoted to Deputy Captain in 1985, and then served under Captain Robert Hawkins AFSM until Robert retired on September 30, 2009.

I was then promoted to Cap-

tain, and Bob remained as my Deputy Captain.

Whenever the old Fire Station siren, or later when we were issued with pagers, would activate, Bob would literally “drop everything” and rush to the station. Bob could be on the phone to a sales rep or serving a customer when the fi re call came in, and he would just head for the station. There was a story told at his funeral that he even “borrowed” a pushbike one day to get there quicker.

Bob was my right hand man. He supported me to no end, he always had my back, kept me in check, and was truly someone to look up to.

Bob always called me and others “little buddy”.

We had a fuel leak outside The Classic Catch Cafe one afternoon. We had the First Aid Reel ran out. Bob said – “Little buddy, I think we should run out a line of 38. You never know who might drive past.”

Bob’s fi rst big fi re was the Western Stores on Wednesday, September 13, 1967, which was totally destroyed by fi re. The Narromine Fire Brigade, assisted by the Narromine Air-

port Fire Tender and Dubbo Fire Brigade, did well to keep the intense fi re from spreading to the adjoining butcher’s shop, pharmacy and café which all formed the same building. Once we responded to a kitchen fi re in Cathundril Street one night in our old International Fire Truck.

Bob was driving and, and as we pulled up he jumped out, leaving truck in gear – it had an automatic gearbox. David Wheeler and I were in the back cab trying to reach through the sliding windows to engage the park brake...

Bob attended many demos in the 1970’s, and continued to do so until around the early 1990’s, with his many demo team mates including the late Ted Jackson, Barry Kingsman, Norm Newman, Dennis Jolliffe, John Hutchison, Ray Mann, and also James Purvis, Rodger Blackman, Robert Hawkins and his Son, Peter Treseder.

Bob was awarded medals and clasps on September 15 in each of the following years: 1976 – NSWFB Long Service and Good Conduct 1981 – National Medal

1986 – Long Service and Good Conduct 1st Clasp 1991 – National Medal 1st Clasp 1996 – Long Service and Good Conduct 2nd Clasp 2001 – National Medal 2nd Clasp 2006 – Long Service and Good Conduct 3rd Clasp 2011 – National Medal 3rd Clasp Bob was also awarded the Narromine Citizen of the year on Australia Day 2013.

We held a retirement dinner for Bob on October 19, 2013, at the USMC. The room was packed with former and present fi refighters, and Bob’s family and friends.

Bob always defended me, whether it was a fi re brigade matter, or council matter for me as the mayor. Bob used to often thank me for being a good mate – he was truly one of my best mates. His birthday was September 8, and mine is September 9. We used to call each other, another thing that I will really miss about him.

The late Ted Jackson used to be called “Mr Fireman”, but to me Bob deserved this title.

Several of Bob’s staff served

in the Fire Brigade, and they were all allowed to respond during work, and were never docked any pay. Bob attended every Fire Station Open Day, where he loved cooking the BBQ and attended every Fire Brigade event he could, including community fi re safety events. These included Clean up Australia Day, smoke alarm battery replacement for the elderly, and many more.

Bob’s funeral was very well attended, by former and present fi refighters from Nyngan, Trangie, Peak Hill, Wellington, Cowra, Dubbo and Narromine. St Mary’s was overflowing with his family, friends, old work colleagues, and many people Bob had probably helped out in one way or another.

A big guard of honour was formed by Fire + Rescue NSW, Rural Fire Service Firefighters and the Narromine VRA. RIP my mate Bob, I will truly miss you. My condolences to Charmaine, Peter, Garry and Vicki, and extended families.

Ewen Jones – Former Captain, 401 Narromine Fire Station, and Mayor, Narromine Shire Council.

Chaffey officially declared Member for Parkes

Mal Carpenter unveils History of Byron and Agriland

Jamie Chaffey MP, and his wife Judy Chaffey. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN National Party representative Jamie Chaffey is now officially the Federal Member for Parkes, after being formally declared by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) earlier this month.

Mr Chaffey said he was relieved to have the AEC declare the polls last Monday, June 3, a month on from election day.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of the Parkes electorate and, over the election campaign I met so many incredible people, and I would like to thank everyone who gave me their vote and supported me during the campaign,” Mr Chaffey said.

“I am now looking forward to getting to work to fight for every single person in the Parkes electorate to make our area an even better place to live,” he added.

In late May following the Coalition’s election defeat, it was announced that Mr Chaffey would also be included in the Shadow Ministry and is now serving as their spokesperson for the portfolios of Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Assistant Minister for Resources.

“My new role in the Shadow Ministry, will also give me a greater voice for the people of the Parkes electorate, which is made-up of diverse economies across 20 local government areas, and

the Unincorporated Far West Area, with two of the major economic drivers being the agricultural and resources sectors,” he said.

Mr Chaffey said that he is ready to advocate for his communities across the electorate who are doing it tough due to the cost-of-living and lack of available services in the regions.

“People are really concerned about the lack of access to childcare, healthcare and aged care,” he explained.

“I want to see sustainable investment continue in the Parkes electorate, including the Inland Rail to drive economic growth and our population, that means the right projects in the right locations across major infrastructure like road, rail, air, processing and manufacturing.”

According to the AEC Tally Room, Mr Chaffey on the first preference vote count received just under 40 per cent (39.96) of the total vote, recording a nine per cent swing against The Nationals.

In total on the two-candidate preferred vote for Parkes, however, Mr Chaffey received 62 per cent of the fi nal tally total of just over 66,000 votes.

Locally, Mr Chaffey received 716 votes at the Narromine polling place on election day, 288 in at the Trangie poling place, and 87 at the Tomingley polling place.

The audience listened closely to Mal at Trangie Library late last week. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. Author Mal Carpenter, reminiscing over his 43 years of employment at Agriland.

From page 1 Councillor and Trangie resident, Craig Davies, was one of many who attended the launch. Cr Davies told the Narromine Star it was vital that the community understood how important the Byron Agricultural Company and Agriland was to the development of Trangie.

“It was the biggest employer in the Trangie district, but it was renowned for the fact that it was so innovative, and so many of the people who worked out there have gone on to bigger and better things,” he said.

Mal and his wife Lyn arrived in Trangie in late 1968, straight after their

honeymoon. After only 12 months in the town, Mal was urged to apply for a job on a new development, at the time called “Byron Agricultural Company”.

He was ultimately employed as a farm foreman in 1969, and remained on the property with Lyn until 2010.

A copy of Mal’s important historical work work now has pride of place at Trangie Library, with locals urged to head down and take the time to enjoy reading this fascinating, detailed, and extensive history of one Trangie’s most notable agricultural companies and the contribution it has made to the community and wider region.

Sport RACING REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Parkes, Saturday, June 7 Critically injured in a race fall at Tomingley in 2019, former jockey Michael Hackett has not ridden since, but maintains an interest in racing as the part-owner of “Way To Divine”, winner of the Parkes Services Club-Coradgery Cup on Saturday at Parkes.

Hackett, who rode nearly 300

Hackett wins again as part-owner of “Way To Divine” winners in his time as a hoop, is now a committee member on Parkes Jockey Club and shares ownership of Way To Divine with local trainer Sharon Jeffries and her husband, another former jockey, Dale Jeffries. For the big crowd at the meet, their victory was a popular win.

Settling near last in the 1400-metres feature race, the strongly-supported Way To Divine (in from $3.10 to the $2.80 favourite) was sent forward from the 500-metre point by top jockey, Mathew Cahill and, down the straight, wore down “Geostorm” (Clayton Gallagher at $3.50) to win by over two lengths with “Loud” (Kody

Nestor at $8) over four lengths away in third place.

Chris Foyster from Dubbo was also very happy when his mount “Pontoon Prince” which he owns and bred, won the opening event, the 800-metre Central West Credit Union Maiden Plate.

Offspring of the former speedy mare, “Gillie Mooch”, which won races for Foyster, the Troy McCarney, Dubbo trained Pontoon Prince (Zoe Hunt at $4.20) raced close to the lead before scoring by a length from “Ufana” (Shayleigh Ingelse at $1.80 favourite) and “Ransom’s Girl” (Jordan Quince at $3.70).

Canberra trainer John Rolfe

was disappointed when his horse, “Prairie Legend” was slowly away and fi nished unplaced, however he had better fortune when “William” won the 1200-metre McPherson Parts and Services Benchmark 50 Handicap.

William (John Kissick at $6) raced outside the leader and edged ahead to beat “Candid” (Jake Pracey-Holmes on the $2.80 equal favourite) and “World Reign” (Ken Dunbar at $6).

Ridden by Jake Pracey-Holmes for Orange trainer Melissa Harrison, “Hasime” (at $2.80) resumed from a spell in the 1200-metre Agriwest Maiden Handicap and, after being four

lengths behind the leading trio approaching the home turn, was a game winner from “Phils Colours” (Ken Dunbar at $2.60) and “Sheza Widgee” (Mathew Cahill at $11).

The well-named “Shaddup” (from “Demand Attention”) also won the 1000-metre Telescope Tyres Class One Handicap for Bathurst trainer, Dean Mirfin.

In this race, “Swilken Bridge” and “Lockdown Lad” led for home, before Shaddup (Shannen Llewellyn at $4.60) swept to a convincing win over “Satashi” (Jake Pracey-Holmes, at $5) and the $1.70 favourite, “Media Coverage” ridden

by Clayton Gallagher.

Aerobatics back in Narromine

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Flying high in the sky, the 2025 NSW Aerobatic Championships have landed in Narromine for a jam-packed competition schedule.

This followed the success In October last year of the Australian Aerobatic Championships that were held at Narromine Aerodrome. At this 2024 event, many of the pilots had enthusiastically told the Narromine Star that our airspace was some of the best in the world to compete over.

The NSW chapter is an affi liated member of the Australian Aerobatic Club (AAC) formed in 1970 to foster interest in the sport by providing opportunities to train and compete and for pilots to learn and practice the judging techniques of competition aerobatics. Over the years, with advances in aircraft design, an internationally-recognised sport has developed into competition aerobatics.

The sport, however, should not be confused with the kind of aerobatics seen at airshows and the like and which is commonly known as “stunt flying”.

“Figure skating in the sky” is how Australian Aerobatic Club National President, Peter Townsend, describes the technically demanding and difficult sport of aerobatics.

Competition aerobatics is a very exciting sport which demands high levels of skill, discipline, and concentration, he added, with flyers required to complete a pre-determined sequence of manoeuvres inside an imaginary cube of airspace that is known in competition as the “aerobatic box”.

Pilots participate at different levels of competition ranging from “Entry Level” to “Unlimited”, depending on their level of skill and the performance capabilities of their aircraft.

Mr Townsend told the Narromine Star last year, that aerobatics is a sport of precision flying and temperament.

“With recreational aerobatics, you can do any spins and any rolls, but when you are trying to do it in front of a judge, it is all about timing, precision, and accuracy,” he said.

Competition involves aviators remaining within the aerobatic box during each event where they have 12 minutes to complete a range of 10 manoeuvres, known in the sport as “a sequence”. Manoeuvres can be anything from a half-loop to a full-loop, to a nose-dive, and a roll.

Pilots don’t get to set their own sequence for competition, with the judges designing the course of manouvres that the pilots are then required to complete Competitors also don’t know the sequence itself until they are ready to compete, where some pilots may have to complete manoeuvres they have never done before.

NSW Secretary, Ray Pearson told the Narromine Star, that pilots need to be able to think quickly in the air in order to accurately perform the set sequence decided by the judges.

“You don’t know what you are going to get, because there will be two or three manoeuvres you will be practising, but you don’t know what the other pilots have been doing,” Mr Pearson explained.

“You can mentally ‘dry fly’, but you don’t get to see it until you are actually flying.”

Competition kicked off on Wednesday, June 11, and will run until Sunday afternoon, with shire residents and visitors encouraged to head down to the Aerodrome and watch some fantastic aerobatics.
