National Reconciliation Week: “Bridging Now to Next” STORY: PAGE 3

Paul McCallum joins National Simultaneous Storytime in Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS Inland Petroleum principal and owner Paul McCallum knows a few things about trucks, and so he was the perfect guest to read a truckingrelated picture book to a group of the town’s youngest residents at Narromine Library last week.

Proudly watched by wife Pam and other family members, the grandfather of four took to the floor with his eight-month-old grandson Archie on his knee to read “The Truck Cat”, the chosen text for this year’s National Simultaneous Storytime.

The young audience enjoyed the picture book written by Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by Danny Snell, and answering the questions asked along the way.

The event also included another story read by Narromine Libraries Coordinator Gabby Teale-McEvoy, followed by craft activities where the children made “Truck Cat” masks. Some children also took advantage of the big box of toy cars to test out the mini Truck Wash created by the library team.

Five new citizens now call our shire home

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Passion for agriculture, new opportunities, and love, are all reasons why these new Aussies are now calling Australia home.

Narromine Mayor Councillor Ewen Jones last Friday welcomed five new citizens in a naturalisation ceremony at Narromine Shire Council Chambers, with family, friends, and Council staff all in attendance.

Jacques and Mariska Cloete moved to Australia, from South Africa six years ago following an employment opportunity 50km south of Narromine.

“We moved to Peak Hill, and I got sponsored to work there… I work in agriculture and there was a job opportunity that came up,” Jacques explained.

“Then in 2023, the kids started school here (Narromine), and so we decided to move here, I still work there, I just drive around,” he added.

Mariska and Jacques have two children, Jacques Jr and Adrian, and, while Mariska was expecting Adrian, Jacques missed the memo and nearly missed his fl ight.

Five new Australian citizens welcomed in a naturalisation ceremony at Narromine Council Chambers, from left, Jacques, Jacques Jr, Adrian, Mariska and Philop.

“I was heavily pregnant when we came over, and initially they didn’t want us to get on the fl ight,” Mariska said.

“At that point, we had already sold all our stuff; we just sold our ute!” she added.

Mariska is a school teacher and gave birth to Adrian in Australia, while Jacques Jr was born in South Africa.

Part of the reason for their move was that South Africa has been experiencing a long-

running energy crisis since the end of 2007, where residents experience nationwide power outages on an almost daily basis.

The public toilets inside Kierath’s Shopping Centre have been forced to close indefinitely.

The ongoing problem of vandalism inside public toilets at Kierath’s Shopping Square has forced the owners to close the facilities indefinitely.

The Narromine Star understands that since the re-opening of the public toilets, there have been numerous cases of foul and disgusting vandalism inside both the men’s and women’s bathrooms.

The toilets re-opened on Monday, April 28th, after undergoing significant renovations to ensure the community had appropriate facilities to use.

But a Narromine-based plumber has contacted this publication to report just how significant the vandalism has been and how costly it has been to fix the problems in the last month alone the public toilets have been opened for.

Pipe blockages, used needles, drugs, baby wipes, and feces spread across the toilet seat, bowls and lids are all examples of the vandalism that has occurred.

On Wednesday, April 30, workers were called to the ladies toilet which had reports

of blockages and toilet paper stuck on the walls, roof and none left for those who actually need it.

On Friday, May 9 and Saturday May, 10 there were further calls made to workers after the toilets in the ladies restroom were against experiencing blockages with a Dubbo-based plumber having to come out to Narromine in order to fix the blockage.

Besides these incidents, reports have also been made to the Narromine Star that doors were kicked in, heavy duty locks had been bent or broken, faeces had been wiped all over the seat and graffiti carried out with a permanent marker.

It is also reported that in 2024 there were reports of faces spread all across the basin sink in the ladies’ toilets.

While the owners, plumbers and numerous members of the public contacted police, they were told they could not assist in the matter despite businesses at Kierath Shopping Square willing to provide authorities with CCTV footage.

National Reconciliation Week: “Bridging Now to Next” Star, that it was central for the community to come together and ref lect.

“The importance of it (National Sorry Day), is the acknowledgement of that truth, the history and to come together,” Ms Hubatka said.

“It means something for us to come together and it shows that they have been respected,” she added.

The first National Sorry Day was held on May 26, 1998, one year after the tabling of a government report about the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and communities.

The report, known as “Bringing Them Home”, acknowledged that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were forcibly separated from their families and communities since the early days of European occupation in Australia.

Ms Hubatka said National Sorry Day is an integral part of the truth-telling process. “ T hei r t r au m a t h at t hey h ave gone t h rou g h i n t he pa st i s ack nowle d ge d,” she ex pl a i ne d.

Earlier this month, First Nations’ ancestral remains were returned to their origi-

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN With this year’s theme around initiating reflection on the ongoing connection between past, present, and future, National Reconciliation Week began on Tuesday, May 27 and will conclude on Tuesday, June 3.

Preceding Reconciliation Week, on Monday, communities across the country also acknowledged and commemorated National Sorry Day. This day gives Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and non-Indigenous Australians the chance to come together and commemorate the history of forcible Ab-

original child removals and their continued effect on First Nations’ communities.

Narromine Shire Council commemorated National Sorry Day with a morning tea on Monday at the Council Chambers.

Members of the Trangie and Narromine Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALC), community elders, school children, council staff, and councillors came together to reflect on the ongoing trauma and healing experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the community.

Chief executive of the Trangie LALC, Karen Hubatka, told the Narromine

nal resting place in Trangie, with Karen saying it was an important moment.

“It was very very significant, not only for the Elders but for the whole community,” she explained.

“The importance of knowing that ancestors are now home resting - it is really hard to put into words just how significant that is.”

Reconciliation Week is observed in the last week of May and the first few days of June, with these dates commemorating two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey - the successful 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

On May 27, 1967, the Australian Government held a referendum in which more than 90 per cent of Australian voters voted “Yes” to counting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the census.

When the Australian Constitution was written in 1901, there were only two parts that referred to First Nations people.

Section 51 (xxvi) gave the Commonwealth power to make laws with respect to ‘people of any race, other than the Aboriginal race in any state, for whom it was deemed necessary to make special laws.’

Section 127 provided that ‘in reckoning the numbers of people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, aboriginal natives shall not be counted.’

Up until 1967, it meant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people weren’t recognised as part of the Australian population.

June 3, Mabo Day, concludes Reconciliation Week and commemorates Mer Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo and his successful efforts on that date in 1992 to overturn the legal fiction of terra nullius, or land belonging to no-one.

Eddie Mabo challenged the Australian legal system and fought for recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of their land.

The Mabo decision was a turning point for the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights and paved the way for the Federal Parliament to pass the Native Title Act in 1993.

As of April this year, there have been 647 Native Title Determinations according to Reconciliation Australia.

This year’s theme for National Reconciliation Week is “Bridging Now to Next” and calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.

Australia’s history of reconciliation is not a linear one, with great strides made and disappointing setbacks experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Narromine Cancer Support Group’s Biggest Morning Tea Page 4 - THE NARROMINE STAR, Thursday, May 29, 2025

Wet and cold winter weather did not scare away customers away.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Seasonally cold and wet weather did not dampen the spirits of the Narromine Cancer Support Group as they held their very-own Biggest Morning Tea in Narromine late last week.

Ladies from the local notfor-profit organised a delicious bake sale outside of Coles, where they were sold delicious home-made sweets and treats to grateful shoppers.

Members of Narromine Cancer Support Group held their Biggest Morning Tea last week selling delicious home bakes outside of Coles.

Cancer Support Group President, Nikki McCutcheon told the Narromine Star that, while the event is essentially based around fundraising, their Biggest Morning Tea was also about making their presence known to the community and raising awareness of one of our biggest killers.

“We really want people to know that we are here, and here to help you, if you have cancer,” Nikki explained.

“I think we want people to

know that they can come to us, if they need financial support and it can be used for anything, no questions asked,” she added.

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a major community collaboration run by the Cancer Council to raise vital funds for their vital work in supporting those impacted by cancer and also on research into its causes.

In 2024, 25,376 Morning Tea’s were held across the coun-

try which raised more than $14.6 million with every dollar raised going towards research, prevention programs, and support services.

The Cancer Council is also the largest non-government funder of cancer research in the country. Investment in cancer research has also helped increase cancer survival rates from 49 per cent in the 1980’s, to 71 per cent today.

Thanks to decades of this work, more people are surviv-

ing cancer than ever before, with Australians researches continuing to make progress in battling this disease in leaps and bounds.

According to the Australian Government’s Cancer Australia, in 2022 there was an estimated 162,163 cases of cancer diagnosed, and there is now a more than two-thirds chance of surviving at least five years living with this disease.

Corrections contraband blitz seizes weapons, drugs worth more than $220,000

Dogs mauled, shot by police, Trangie man charged with common assault At about 5.30pm on Thursday, May 22, officers attached to Orana Mid Western Police District were called to Albert Street, Trangie, following reports of an assault.

Police arrested a 34-yearold man who was in possession of a large dog that was allegedly acting aggressively towards police.

The dog was taken from the location by a family member and secured inside a nearby property.

A short time later, the dog is alleged to have mauled two small dogs inside the home, killing one and seriously injuring another, before it was shot by police.

The injured dog was escorted by police to an emergency vet for treatment.

The man was taken to Narromine Police Station and charged with common assault.

He was refused bail and appeared before Dubbo Local Court on Friday, May 23, where he was given conditional bail to appear before Narromine Local Court on Thurs-

day, June 5.

A man and a woman faced court mid-last week after alleged illegal hunting and robbery in the state’s central west.

Officers attached to the Central West Police District were notified, with an investigation commenced by the Parkes Rural Crime Prevention Team.

Following inquiries, police attended Griffith Hospital and arrested a 20-yearold woman and a 22-year-old man, who had presented there for treatment.

The woman was taken to Griffith Police Station and the man remained in hospital under police guard. They were both charged with three of-

A crackdown team of specialist Corrective Services NSW officers have seized drugs and weapons after a statewide blitz to prevent contraband entering the NSW prison system.

Corrective Services NSW’s Security Operations Group, screened more than 1200 visitors across 112 correctional complexes last week, seizing knives; the drug, ice, (crystal methamphetamine); opioids; and marijuana. The estimated prison market value for the drugs seized amounted to more than $220,000.

The blitz comes as inmates continue to look for ways to smuggle illegal items into centres, including attempting drone drops or covert pick-ups on medical escorts.

Corrective Services NSW relies on a number of measures to prevent the introduction of contraband into NSW prisons, including CCTV surveillance, body and x-ray scanners, and random and routine searches.

The searches for contraband weren’t only limited to the inside of a prison, but also extended right out to the front gates, with both people and cars searched during the operation.

Nearly a year since coercive control became criminalised in NSW

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN It has been nearly a year since coercive control became a criminal offence in NSW, with the State Government reminding the community to look out for the warning signs of domestic abuse.

In November 2022, the NSW Parliament passed legislation to become the first Australian jurisdiction to criminalise coercive control, with the reforms coming into effect on July 1, 2024.

Coercive control is when a person uses abusive behaviours towards a current or former intimate partner with the intention to coerce or control them.

The offence captures repeated patterns of physical or nonphysical abuse used to hurt, scared, intimidate, threaten, or control someone.

The NSW Domestic Violence Death Review Team found that in 97 per cent of intimate partner domestic violence homicide cases, the victim had experienced coercive and/or controlling behaviour before being killed.

Coercive control can happen in any type of relationship, however, the legislation will only be tested in cur-

rent former intimate partner relationships.

Coercive and controlling behaviours can be varied and may include manipulation, financial abuse, harassment, sexual coercion, isolating the victim survivor from family and friends, stalking, monitoring and technology-facilitated abuse.

Reports were released earlier this month that revealed the risk of linked location-sharing apps with an increased risk of coercive control.

The eSafety Commission study reported that nearly one in five young adults believe that tracking a partner’s location is to be expected in a relationship.

More than 13 per cent of the 2000 adults surveyed said it was reasonable for a partner to monitor them using locationsharing apps like Life360 and Find my iPhone.

About a quarter of adults surveyed agreed it was necessary to have an intimate partner’s passwords and codes for their personal devices.

The murder of Lilie James in 2023 put tech-facilitated control in the headlines, when it was revealed during the coronial inquest into her death earlier

this year, that her killer had tracked her location.

While the laws set a precedent on coercive control in Australia, experts have been critical about the implementation of the law and if the punishment for perpetrators is significant enough.

Where matters are dealt with in the Local Court, charges could see imprisonment of up to two years but those who are dealt with in the District Court, could see a sentence of up to seven years imprisonment.

The first person to be charged under the coercive control laws in NSW avoided jail in December of last year.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested in July last year, less than a month after the new laws came into effect.

The man is now undertaking an 18-month intensive corrections order to be served in the community, with no other recent reports of other individuals being charged under the coercive control legislation.

Certificate from the Narromine Citizenship Ceremony.

From page 1 The South African governmentowned national power utility and primary generator, Eskom, have attributed the rolling blackouts to insufficient generation capacity.

“Your perspective changes when you have kids. We had little Jacques in South Africa, and we had to deal with getting bottles warmed up in a day when there is only four hours’ electricity,” Mariska told the Narromine Star.

For another new local, employment opportunities, a better way of life, and falling in love with a teacher in Trangie, were the reasons why Philop Hoffman now calls our town home.

Philop met Maddie Bretag and the couple married at the Trangie Showground before purchasing their first home.

Similar to Jacques, Philop moved to Australia after graduating from university, but initially was only going to stay in the country for a year.

“I moved actually, up north, and then

down to Hill End (for work) because the company had split up and then they sponsored me, and I spent four years there,” he explained.

“I was just going to do Australia for 12 months and then 12 months in the United States, and then get back into corporate.”

Philop never ended-up following his original plan, instead falling in love with the Australian countryside.

“I then went to Albert and I met Maddy just before that,” he explained.

Maddie is well known in Trangie as a local teacher and tennis player inspiring children in the community.

The declaration of Jacques, Mariska, their children, and Philop as citizens in the Narromine Shire, represents how welcoming the community is across the Shire.

Now Australian citizens, they are now eligible to enrol to vote, obtain a passport, work in government, and enter the Defence Forces, among other benefits.

From page 1 Gabby said an estimated 2.3 million children across Australia were expected to participate in this year’s National Simultaneous Storytime, reading the very same book at the same time.

Trangie Library was also participating in the national literacy initiative by the Australian Library and Information Association, which is celebrating its quarter century this year, she added.

Gabby said it was wonderful that re-

spected local businessman Paul McCallum could make time to participate in National Simultaneous Storytime.

“It’s great to have Paul involved,” he said.

“Paul, his family and his business all support the local community in many ways,” she added.

Asked afterwards about his experience reading to the young group, Paul said it was fantastic and he was thrilled to be involved.

As part of the National Simultaneous Storytime campaign, the Macquarie Regional Library network also ran a colouring competition. Narromine winners included Lily Housden in the 5-8 years category, and Camden Bock in the 0-4 years category.

Looking to volunteer in your community? The SES welcomes you

By SHARON BONTHUYS As National Volunteer Week drew to a close last weekend, the NSW State Emergency Service (NSW SES) has encouraged people living in regional and rural communities to consider volunteering with their local units.

With more than 11,000 volunteers across the state, the NSW SES plays an important role in helping communities prepare for and respond to emergencies, including storms and floods.

The organisation has played a vital role in the flood emergency recently impacting the east coast. Indeed, it was another flood emergency 70 years ago that impacted large swathes of central, northern and coastal NSW which gave birth to the SES. The importance of this organisation and its thousands of volunteers cannot be understated.

NSW SES Commissioner Mike Wassing AFSM said National Volunteer Week was an opportunity to recognise the vital contributions of volunteers and has invited more people to get involved.

“Our volunteers are everyday people doing extraordinary things. They are part of the fabric of their towns and communities,” Commissioner Wassing said.

“Volunteering with the NSW SES is a rewarding way to connect with others, develop new skills, and be there for your community when it matters.”

Commissioner Wassing said volunteering can be tailored to fit a variety of lifestyles, and that many people are surprised by the range of roles available.

“Whether you’re interested in hands-on field work, community engagement, logistics, or support behind the scenes, there’s a role for you,” he said.

“You don’t need previous experience - just a willingness to learn and a commitment to your community.”

For further information about joining your local SES, see the advertisement on this page.

Busy Narromine Shire Council holds two two meetings in May

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Narromine Shire Council has enjoyed a busy month in May, holding not one, but two meetings.

Councillors gathered for their ordinary Council meeting on Wednesday, May 14, at the Chambers, which was preceded by a public forum.

This included locals, Vaughan Ellen and Chris Kelly, speaking on different issues, with Mr Ellen discussing the proposed Parkes waste-to-energy Facility, and Ms Kelly offering views about the increase in water rates, as well as recurring fires at Narromine’s waste management facility.

Cr Judy Smith then submitted a Notice of Motion for the Parkes Special Activation Precinct (SAP), where she suggested that Narromine Shire Council write a letter to Parkes Shire Council about the proposed waste-to-energy facility.

Mr Ellen said at the public forum that, considering Parkes Shire Council is Narromine’s “next-door neighbour”, there should be regular contact between the two.

“This is a fair way to establish formal communication... especially when we are looking at the things that are being said on social media,” he explained.

The proposed waste-to-energy facility, also known as “Parkes Energy Recovery”, was born out of the Parkes SAP, which was the brainchild of the then Liberal Premier of NSW, Dominic Perrottet, with

former Nationals Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, and Energy Minister, Matt Kean, signing-off on the Energy From Waste Infrastructure Plan in 2021.

The notice of motion read that the letter should include deep concern over the proposal and the ramifications it may have on Narromine’s residents, given our close proximity to Parkes, and seeking clarification on the timeline of the proposal, requesting that Narromine is kept appraised of the development’s progress, and that Parkes Shire Council provide ongoing detailed information about the storage and disposal plans of residue waste.

Cr. Smith also outlined that the intention of the motion was to safe-

guard the health and wellbeing of all Narromine residents.

With the proposed waste-to-energy facility in the hands of the State Government, Parkes Shire Council is largely powerless in the decision-making process. The proposal will also need to go through a lengthy approval process and abide

by NSW Environmental Protection Authority legislation and Department of Housing, Planning and Infrastructure.

The motion failed to carry, with the Council split once again. Councillors Smith, Howe, Leak and Bohm voted for the motion, and Crs Jones, Hoey, Roberts, Lambert, and Davies voted against.

Cr Peter Howe also put forth an interesting notice of motion, that the Council apply for a High Security Water Extraction Licence from the Macquarie River. He outlined that his intention for the motion was to secure and safeguard the town water supply.

This licence would also mean that there would be an alternate source of water other than underground bore water, which he says continues to fall in levels and quality.

The motion was put to a vote and then lost, but it was resolved by Crs Smith and Lambert that the Council look into pricing infrastructure and piping to supply parks and gardens in the Narromine township with untreated river water, and to then report back to Council within three months.

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH Hope for the sick This is the fi fth message of the Hope 2025 sermon series, and it is on a sensitive subject.

The presenter explains that there is something very personal about speaking on this topic, because every one of us knows sickness.

We might also have loved ones who are sick, or even lost people through their sickness.

The presenter was Pete Stedman , Minister at Norwest Anglican, Sydney.

He says there are two things in life that remind us, we are not God; sleep and sickness.

It is good to remind ourselves, God doesn’t do these things.

For we can live like our youth will never run out; that our bodies and minds will stay strong forever but they don’t.

So, in the book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 12 Verse One, it says; “Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say , ‘I fi nd no pleasure in them,’.”

Which is to say, sickness will befall us all. So where is our hope? As creatures who are frail or weak, where does hope lie for us?

Luke, Chapter 5, starting at Verse 8, and finishing at Verse 32, is where Pete Stedman’s sermon is referencing.

This passage has a series of four stories that need to be read as one.

Here’s a short summary of his message:

narrominestar.com.au

This passage is weaving together four stories and all to make one point.

The fi rst is the story of Jesus approaching Simon Peter the fisherman.

The second is Jesus meeting a man with leprosy.

The third is Jesus engaging with the paralytic man as he was dropped through the roof of a house.

The last one is Jesus encountering Levi (Matthew) , the tax collector.

Each story is about a person’s life in a mess - and for all different reasons.

Each of the four people encountered are sick in some way.

Each one needs to meet Jesus, to have their life re-ordered, and put back together. They are all sinners , they’re all alienated from God. The fisherman recognises his sin, Verse 8, and turns to Jesus.

The leper knows he is unclean, Verse 12, and turns to Jesus.

The paralytic has faith, Verse 20, and turns to Jesus.

The tax collector knows his moral bankruptcy, Verse 28, and turns to Jesus.

They all are desperately looking for hope, and they all fi nd it. All come home, to Jesus.

I’m not talking about healing us from our sickness - God CAN do that.

As we read in our passage. God might do that, but also, He might not.

So where do WE turn, in the face of sickness? To doctors family, friends - yes, we should, these are all wonderful resources.

But what the Bible says and what we see Jesus do, in Luke 5, is that only Jesus can do a deeper work, that is, for the sick, the outcast, the guilty - Jesus deals with our alienation from God.

It’s Show Time!

I popped out to Wellington on Saturday, and had a great time at the 149th Wellington Show! From tractors to poultry, flowers, produce, cattle, horses, and even bonsai trees, there was truly something to cater to everyone’s interest.

Congratulations to Wellington’s Young Woman for 2025, Clair Stiff who, I’m sure will do an amazing job as Wellington’s representative.

This weekend it’s Dubbo’s turn. There’s plenty to see and do to keep the whole family entertained. Agriculture on show all three days, stunning pavilion displays, baby animals, rides, performances, and show food galore!

The very popular Furnace and The Fundamentals are back with their nonstop energy on-stage Friday night at Boardy’s Bar and, of course, the Grand

National Reconciliation Week, May 27 to June 3 This week is National Reconciliation Week, and the theme is “Bridging Now to Next.”

This theme reflects the importance of building on the progress made so far and looking ahead to the future, ensuring that reconciliation continues to evolve and deepen.

Now is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how we can each contribute to reconciliation in Australia.

Tuesday, May 27 marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum when Australians voted to remove clauses in the Australian Constitution that discriminated against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; while Tuesday, June 3 marks the historic 1992 Mabo decision in which the High Court of Australia recognised native title - the recognition that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights over their lands did survive British colonisation.

We all have a role in reconciliation, and by working together, we can help build relationships and communities that value

Students received candles as part of Catholic Schools Week.

Students in Year Six were recently thrilled to receive Congratulations to St John’s Parish School students who participated in the CWA Public Speaking Competition. their special shirts! PHOTO: TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Latest news and photos from both Trangie Central School and St John’s Parish School.

ST JOHN’S PARISH SCHOOL Congratulations to all the students who participated in the school-level Country Women’s Association Public Speaking Competition.

“Teachers and staff are so proud of each and every stu-

dent for their bravery and the effort they put into preparing such thoughtful and wellcrafted speeches,” a School spokesperson said.

“A special congratulations to the students who have been selected to represent St John’s at Narromine earlier this week; good Luck to Ruby, Emily, Aria and Parker and we hope you went well this week showcasing your public speaking skills!” they added.

As part of Catholic Schools Week celebrations and this year’s theme of “Pilgrims of

Hope”, each St John’s family received a special candle at Mass to take home and share in family prayer together.

The candles represent hope, love, and courage and encourages families to walk together in faith.

TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL Earlier this month, First Nations students in Years Five to Six were offered the incredibly opportunity to participate in a Primary Aboriginal Dance

Workshop at Buninyong Public School at Dubbo.

“During the enriching experience, students were treated to a variety of performances, showcasing both traditional and modern Aboriginal dance as well as Torres Strait Islander dance,” a School spokesperson said.

“The workshop fostered an appreciation for the rich history and diversity of dance in Australia; many thanks to the staff at Buninyong Public School for helping us further learn about our cultural herit-

age!” they added.

The Year Six students at Trangie Central School, also recently received their specially-designed Year Six t-shirts!

“The students took great pride in creating these shirts, reflecting on their creativity and ownership,” the spokesperson said.

“Their own enthusiasm was palpable as they couldn’t wait to take them home, putting them on immediately!” they concluded.

were a proven welcome at sunny Alan Burns Oval in Trangie, where the Tigers lined up against the Canowindra Pythons.

The Pythons were coming off the back of a round three bye going into the fourth round, with Trangie coming off a 61 to nil loss against the Wellington Redbacks.

But the Tigers were able to get substantial points on the board however unfortunately for the home crowd, Canowindra were just too good coming away with the win 66 to 22.

While Trangie Tigers President, Lewis Goodman, was happy to get points on the board, he was disappointed with his sides defence.

“Probably some of our worse defence from the middle coming out of our rucks and all that,”

he told the Narromine Star.

“It is probably some of the worst defence we had.”

Lewis said while there were plenty of positives, the boys have to clean up their attack in scrums.

“There were a lot of positives but it was the same thing in the last three weeks, like, it is hard to win footy games when you are not winning your scrum,” he explained.

“We are turning over too much ball when it breaks down a fair bit, so just structural things but we will keep improving as time goes on.”

Another loss for the Tigers means their position of last on the ladder is cemented after round four of the season however there are still many weeks of rugby to be played, with each week the squad hopeful they

will be able to come away with their first win.

Around the grounds, the Yeoval Eagles had a welcomed fourth round bye following Molong’s decimation of the Eagles in the week prior.

The Magpies are a force to reckon with in this year’s competition with Molong defeating the Geurie Goats 47 to 5 in Dubbo.

Molong remain first on the ladder tied with the Wellington Redbacks who recorded a 36 to 7 win over the Blayney Rams at home in Wellington.

The Rams are just above the Tigers on the ladder.

Trangie have a bye in the fifth round of the Central West Rugby Union Oilsplus North Men’s First Grade and won’t play until mid-June where they will play the Rams in Blayney.

It’s three months to TTT: Are you going?

By SHARON BONTHUYS The Trangie Truck and Tractor (TTT) Show is just three months away and preparations are well underway for this highly anticipated event which will be the biggest event in Trangie this year.

TTT Committee President Jason McCutcheon told the Narromine Star earlier this year that the biennial event celebrates all aspects of the importance that transport makes to the agricultural sector, and is unique to the region.

Occurring every second year at the Trangie Showground and Racecourse, TTT is very well attended and brings a huge boost to the town’s economy as people travel from far and wide to attend.

“Over the years, attendance at our shows has gone from 1500 through the gates to over 4000 at our last event,” Jason said.

“I think the reason for this growth is because there isn’t another event like it and there really is something for everyone,” he added.

Attendees can expect to enjoy the following activities at TTT on August 23, which is supported by the Trangie Action Group and Trangie Car Club:  Car Show and Shine  Tractor Pull and Display  Truck Show and Shine  Motorbike Show and Shine  Shearing Competition  Demolition Derby  Live Music  Kids Activities  Information Stalls  Market Stalls  Food Stalls  Wall of Fame Jason told the Narromine Star that the most important aspect of the event for him personally is the Wall of Fame presentation event on the Friday night before, where nominees and their families are invited to a sit-down meal before the presentation.

“Unfortunately, most of our previous recipients have since passed on, but the wonderful thing is that their stories and contribution to the trucking industry has been recorded and recognised on the Wall of Fame,” he concluded.

Tickets to the event are now available.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Following Dubbo Netball Association’s (DNA) recent re-grading of the various divisions in their Saturday competition, Trangie Netball Club sides have experienced a tough couple of weeks out on the courts.

Round Three scores were not available by the time of publishing as the DNA, were in the process of the re-grading of all competitions ranging from Under 10’s to Seniors competitions.

Trangie Lightning and the Trangie Fire both compete in the B-Grade competition and have remained in the same grade after the Round Three re-grading.

MAGS Mystics were just too good for the Lightning in their match-up, with the Trangie girls going down 31-29.

But in the inter-club showdown in Round Four of the BGrade competition, the Lightning recorded their second win for the season in a threegoal thriller against the Fire.

The final score was 30-27 in favour of the Lightning, with Trangie Fire yet to record a win this season but showing improvement in the past week.

In Round Three, the Fire went down to the St Frenzy 44-19, but improved significantly to hold the Lightning to a three-goal lead.

The Fire will now go up against the third-placed St Snipers in Round Five, whereas the second-placed Trangie Lightning will have a break this weekend after the SkyHawks forfeited their match.

In Division Two of the Intermediate section of the DNA Saturday netball competition, Trangie Storm were unfortunately beaten convincingly against the St Vixens where they went down 40-10.

The Storm also did not have much luck in the week prior in Round Three, where they went down to the St Razzlers 42-26.

Trangie Storm will hope luck is on their side in Round Five, however, when they go

up against the St Warriors who currently sit second on the ladder while the Storm are last.

In the Under 10’s competition, Trangie Wildfi re went down to Warren Wildflowers by 11-2 in Round Four, while, in the previous week, they were beaten by the St Sapphires 12-3.

The Wildfire currently sit eighth on the ladder and will take-on fifth-placed Narromine Hornets in a Shire showdown.

President of Trangie Netball Club, Adine Hoey, would like to thank Jodie Inder from Empower Nutrition and Physiology who donated balls for the juniors.

Trangie Netball Courts have also been refurbished, with Hoey telling the Narromine Star, that it was great to fi nally have good lighting on the courts.

“Shout-out to Council and our new courts and lighting in Trangie, it makes such a difference to us having these facilities,” she concluded.

Committee publishes third and final report on health reform in remote, rural and regional NSW THE NARROMINE STAR, Thursday, May 29, 2025 - Page 13

narrominestar.com.au

By CONTRIBUTED STORY Have the last two years of health reform resulted in meaningful change for the many people living in remote, rural and regional communities in NSW? A recently published report found that these communities continue to face significant challenges in accessing health services, with current governance arrangements between the state and federal governments failing to address challenges in the delivery of rural and remote primary care.

The third and final report

of the Legislative Assembly’s Select Committee on Remote, Rural and Regional Health was tabled last week. The report focuses specifically on areas of health reform that require collaboration between the state and federal governments, as well as government consultation with remote, rural and regional communities.

“Across the Committee’s three inquiries, we’ve found that the progress reported by NSW Health continues to be at odds with what communities and health workers are experiencing on the ground,” said Committee Chair, Dr Joe McGirr MP.

“There is a clear need for ongoing accountability measures to address the persistent issues that we continue to see in relation to remote, rural and regional health,” he added.

The report sets out a recommended pathway for reform, including key priorities and next steps to ensure continued oversight of remote, rural and regional health needs.

These include: f The establishment of an independent NSW Remote, Rural and Regional Health Commissioner that can oversee NSW Health’s implementation of reforms.

f Funding and implementation of the health precinct model. f Shared governance arrangements between Local Health Districts and Primary Health Networks to support effective collaboration, information sharing and joint planning at the local level. f Monitoring mechanisms, including continued reporting to NSW Parliament every six months on the progress of recommendations and additional performance audits in relation to key priority areas.

The full report is available on the Committee’s website.

The Committee was es-

tablished two years ago to monitor the implementation of recommendations handed down in a landmark 2022 Legislative Council report.

The report made 44 recommendations for rural and regional health reform, which this Committee has examined over the course of three inquiries. The Committee’s first report focused on workforce, workplace culture and funding in the regional health system. Its second report examined the delivery of specific health services and specialist care in remote, rural and regional NSW.

Gorillas outclass understrength Mudgee

Narromine outclassed Mudgee 34-5 on ladies day at Cale Oval on Saturday, May 24. PHOTO: EADIE PHOTOGRAPHY.

By DALLAS REEVES Bigger games await Narromine, but the Gorillas are content they are doing what they can to control their destiny in Central West Rugby Union’s New Holland Cup First Grade competition.

Narromine outclassed an understrength Mudgee 34-5 on ladies day at Cale Oval on Saturday, May 24 in a sixtries-to-one success.

Gorillas president Hamish Job, who missed the clash with a toe injury, estimated the Wombats, last year’s premiers, had around 10 players out.

However, he was impressed with Narromine’s consistent

effort across the clash.

“A very comprehensive win for first grade again,” he said.

“It continues our streak of being unbeaten, which is very exciting.

“Defensively, we gave Mudgee nothing.

“In attack, we just continued to do what we what we have been doing, being patient and tries came.”

Euan Truscott (three points), Angus McKenzie (two points) and Daniel Battishall (one point) earned the best and fairest points.

McKenzie impressed on top grade debut at breakaway.

“He was just everywhere across the park,” Job said of McKenzie.

“Defensively very strong and great over the ball with a handful of turnovers. Macca played really well. It was great to see him in first grade.”

Job admitted Mudgee were understrength last Saturday and that Narromine needs to keep building.

“Staying connected defensively and keeping the momentum ticking along,” he said.

“Not getting carried away with winning and just staying focused on getting better.

“There is still a lot of football to be played at the back end of the season and we know Mudgee will come back stronger.”

Asked what areas the coaching staff have picked out for improvement, Job pointed to being composed at all stages.

“We just need to try and ice a few moments better. Occasionally, we turned over some cheap ball,” he said.

“Just lacking a little bit of polish in some aspects of play to close out games and really stamp our authority and ensure we don’t give the opposition a look at all. Overall, we’re building well.”

Second grade scored five tries but went down 30-27 in a thriller.

For the Gorillas, outside centre Mitch Roach scored two tries picked up the three points, with two points for

Thomas Jackson (fullback) and one point for Sam Tuck (half back).

“Another tight contest for second grade,” Job said.

“It was a good game. Great numbers, around 10 on the bench for seconds, probably the best it has been for a long time.”

First Grade: Narromine Gorillas 34 (Ollie Kearney 2, Daniel Battishall, Euan Truscott, Jeremy Montgomery, Hughie Browning tries; Jacob Hardie 2 conversions) defeated Mudgee Wombats 5.

Second Grade: Mudgee 30 defeated Narromine 27 (Mitch Roach 2, Jo Mosi, Thomas Jackson, Ossie Gill tries; Ben Peters 1 conversion).

Final of the Club Triples goes down to the wire

Narromine Hurricanes forfeit as all senior grades go down in round four

Women highlighted at Gorillas Ladies Day Ladies Day 2025. PHOTO: EADIE PHOTOGRAPHY.

BY JOHN EDWARDS Final of the Club Triples was played last Saturday with congratulations to Kane Adams, James Daley, and Aaron Hutchison in defeating Richard Hyde, Mark Hilder and Ben Clark in the tightest of results, 19-18.

Throughout the whole game, scores were fairly close, which kept the “window-tappers” stuck in suspense. With Aaron leading by one shot, after measuring for the shot on the 21st end, a decision who had the shot could not be determined, and therefore led to the result which remained at 19-18 in favour of Aaron and team.

Social bowls last Thursday was a wash-out with social bowls on Sunday involving a number of players travelling to Trangie for a roll.

The Major/Minor Pairs draw is on the Notice-board at the Club, and it gets underway this Saturday. Ray and Greg will play against Adam and Duane, James and Trumby will go against John and Paul, while Robbie and Cliffy will be up against Beaver and Richard.

The following teams have a bye, Cranky and Noi, Kev and Geoffery, Sticker and Neil, Muz and Mitch, and Aaron and Joey.

Consistency Singles are also on the board with games to be played on this Sunday, with Neil up against Richard, Danny playing Buttsy, and Noi taking-on Sticker.

Greg, Homo, Robbie, Tommy, and Cranky, all have the bye

Joke of the week Paddy took his wife and mother in-law on a safari to Africa.

One morning, his wife awakes and fi nd that her mother is missing.

In a worried state, she wakes up Paddy and they both go looking for her!

Suddenly they come to a clearing, where they fi nd the mother inlaw, standing face to face with a ferocious lion.

“Quick Paddy, do something!”, screams the wife.

“Oh no, no way I’m getting involved”, Paddy says. “The lion got himself into this mess, he can get himself out of it”.

Until next week - see you at the club!

Narromine Hurricanes have had to forfeit their Round Four game against the St Misfits.

Narromine Hornets were the only local team to secure a win over the weekend. PHOTOS: NARROMINE NETBALL CLUB.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Dubbo Netball Association (DNA) recently completed their re-grading of all competition sides from Under 10’s to Senior grades after the end of Round Three of the 2025 season.

In recent results, Narromine Hurricanes had to forfeit their match against the St Misfits in Round Four of the Dubbo Saturday Netball D-Grade competition. In the week prior, they had gone down to the Merindas Warrigals by 4322, with their forfeit now having them sitting last on the ladder.

The Jets and Stingers both recorded losses in Round Four of the D-Grade competition and, in the week prior, faced-off against each other in an inter-club showdown that ended with the Stingers scraping home with a win; with the fi fth-placed Stingers downing the fourth-placed Jets in an exhilarating one-goal victory, 25-24.

The Narromine Jets then had another close game against the Merindas Warrigals, with the Warrigals just too good, scraping home with a 49-44 win.

Progressively downgraded from heavy 8, heavy 9 to heavy 10, the track had remained safe for racing however increasing visibility problems for the jockeys saw an early fi nish after 4 of the 7 scheduled races had been run.

The four year old gelding Crusader Kings had two starts in Victoria including a debut win at Mornington before being purchased by clients of the astute Mark Jones and sent to his Mudgee stables.

Narromine Gorillas celebrated the important role that women fulfill in keeping the Club going, at their annual Ladies Day celebration.

A raffle and auction were held with all proceeds going towards local men’s mental health charity, Tradies in Sight.

The auction was for a Sal Montgomery Artwork and there were also brilliant raffle prizes up for grabs!

Ladies Day has been part of the Gorillas for as long as many players can remember with each year it growing into a major social event - not just for Narromine locals but for visitors coming far and wide.

Tori Hamilton has been involved with the Narromine Gorillas for the past three yeas and says many women hold vital roles in the rugby union club.

The Stingers also then went-up against the Merinda’s, but it was the Minhi’s that got a convincing win over the Narromine side in a dominant 59-23 win.

In the C-Grade competition, the Narromine Fokkers were unable to continue their winning streak after their Round Three 41-21 victory over the Merindas Mermerrah, going down to the St Hurricanes by 55-20.

The loss may have been big, but the Fokkers still sit fourth on the ladder on a close points percentage difference between their team and the St Goats; with the Fokkers now taking-on the sixthplaced St Dazzlers in the Fifth Round of the Chill-Rite Dubbo Saturday Netball competition.

In the B-Grade comp the SkyHawks had a sensational 10-goal win against the Fusion Thunder in the Fourth Round, with the fi nal score of 47-37.

In the weekend’s round, they facedoff against each other again only a week later, with the Thunder the better side this time, just edging-out the SkyHawks by a razor-thin 41-39 margin.

Rank outsider Drawn Fours led the the home turn with Crusader Kings making a move from midfield along with Micro Mikki and Desi Emperor out wide.

Finishing the better, Crusader Kings (Clayton Gallagher, $2.35 favourite) won by almost a length from Desi Emperor (Robbie Brewer, $8.50) and Micro Mikki (Shayleigh Ingelse, $2.90).

Along with Mark Jones it was a good meeting for Mudg-

credibly important, because they are an integral part of the club... the rugby club is a place of connection and community,” she told the Narromine Star.

“Especially for women who have moved to town for love, or those at home raising children, and it is a space where they feel included and supported.”

There was over $2000 raised for Tradies in Sight, and Tori said the Club is so proud to have supported such an amazing cause.

The biggest highlight for those who attended was seeing the whole community come together.

“We hosted our largest Ladies’ Day yet, with over 200 women in the tent and many more cheering from the sidelines,” she explained.

“It was heart-warming to see old friends reconnect and new friendships forming,” she concluded.

The SkyHawks have, now, however, forfeited against Trangie Lightning in the Fifth Round of competition, according to PlayHQ. In Division Four, Narromine Spitfi res went down to the X-Cellerate Wolves by 32-17 over the weekend and, in the previous round, were beaten by the Warren Wildflowers by 38-10. The Spitfi res will now take-on MAGS Marvels in the Fifth Round of the competition.

In Division Three, the Wildcats had a bye in the fourth round, which was welcomed by the team who in the previous round were beaten by the Fusion Fireworks in a 91-8 blow-out.

Narromine Fireballs (Under 12’s Sky), the Rockets (Under 11’s Navy), and the Kittyhawks (Under 11’s Sky) all recorded losses over the weekend with all sides working hard at training this week to get a win in Round Five.

In good news for the Club, the Narromine Hornets in the Under 10s secured their third win of the season after they dominated Gilgandra Panthers and going home with a 24-2 win.

Good fields for Gerries on both competition days

By NORM LEWIS Two Gerries Golf competitions were played last week and by all reports it appeared to be a success with good fields on both days.

The mid-week event saw a f ield of 10 players and the weather was kind with the course in top playing condition.

Winner on the day was Glen with a score of 23 points on the front nine.

There was a four way tie for second between Dave, Phil, Dud and Pom all on 22 points.

It is Charity Round this week at Narromine where they take on Gulgong. PHOTO: NARROMINE JETS.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Narromine Jets First Grade led majority of their round five match-up against the Coonamble Bears but failed to back-up their fi rst half defence and attack leading to a draw on the scoreboard.

The Jets enjoyed having the lead throughout most of the game, with score sitting at 24 to 10 in their favour at half time in Coonamble.

In the second-half at one stage it seemed the Jets sealed the win their led 32 to 16, however, the never-say-die attitude of the Bears led to them scoring 16 unanswered points.

It left the fi nal score of the game at a 32-all draw at Coon-

amble, with the Jets scratching their heads onto how they fell off the perch so quickly.

The Jets First Grade squad sees them move to equal-fi fth on the ladder following their round five draw with Coonamble and it will be a make or break win to get themselves into the top four in round six.

However, the League Tag side would of been singing the team song all the way home back to Narromine, coming away with an convincing 62 to 10 win over the Bears at Coonamble Sports Ground.

While the Jets were pleased with the result, Narromine recognised some factors that played in their favour with Coonamble’s bench sitting

with one player compared to Narromine’s that had six substitutes ready to roll.

Coming off the back of a tough knee injury that has seen her struggle in the last few weeks at training, Narromine’s Emily Fardell went under the sticks to score a triple.

Shian Chatfield had a brilliant game converting seven of the 11 tries scored while scoring two tries by herself off the back of her own kick and chase.

But it was rookie Minnie Peisley that wowed the players the most in her new-found position as a forward, where she earned herself the round five Players’ Player.

It now sees Narromine’s League Tag side sit at equalsecond on the ladder with Baradine, with top of the table Coolah still yet to see their fi rst loss of the season.

In the long-awaited top of the table clash between Dunedoo and Coolah in the League Tag the Knockout Champions, Swanettes, were unable to fi nd the win at home.

Coolah remain in the topspot on the ladder after a close 36 to 28 win in Dunedoo over the Swanettes.

Around the grounds, the Gulgong Terriers were up against the Cobar Roosters again in Gulgong.

another try by centre Toby O’Leary saw Gulgong looking good at 14 points to nil.

But two Roosters tries put them well and truly back into the game, trailing by just two points 14 to 12.

After half-time, the Terriers responded and looked to be leading with a comfortable 26 to 12 advantage however two converted tries to Cobar in the fi nal five minutes gave supporters and players a heart attack but the full-time siren saw Gulgong just hold the Roosters off to give them a win.
