Aussie country music star Adam Brand

Country star a drawcard for record Truck and Tractor Show

By LUKE WILLIAMS PREPARATIONS are now underway for the third Bi-Annual Trangie Truck and Tractor Show – and organisers hope it could be the biggest event yet!

They expect at least 5000 attendees at the August occasion, with some optimists estimating as many as 10,000 could show up, easily smashing the previous record of 3000 set in 2019.

Aussie country music star, Adam Brand who has been signed up as a headline performer, is one major reason for the expected big crowds, Organising Committee member, Rob McCutcheon explained.

“Adam Brand is a big highlight for us,” he told the Narromine Star.

“When you consider that 3000 people came in 2019, and we didn’t have him – well, that gives you some idea of where we might be heading this year,” he said with confidence.

Problem gambling fear, as local pokie profits surge 50 per cent THE region’s 120 poker machines have seen a significant upsurge in profits over recent months.

Data recently released by Liquor and Gaming NSW shows that the pokies that are operated across seven clubs in the region, increased their profits last year by nearly $1 million on 2021 levels.

Narromine Shire clubs made a total of $2,428,202 profit between June 1, 2022, and November 30, 2022. This was up from the $1,998,789 profit made between December 2021 and May 2022, and the $1,513,656 made from June to November 2021.

Across the State, NSW residents lost a massive $4.3 billion to poker machines in the last six months of last year – a massive $820 million more than the total losses recorded in a similar period before the pandemic.

A CatholicCare Wilcannia-Forbes spokesperson, on hearing of the surging local numbers, told the Narromine Star, that they feared that some local pokie players, had now crossed the line into problematic gambling.

“Signs that problem gambling has taken hold, include when it impacts on your relationships, money shortages, you fall behind on your rent or mortgage, staying up

The spokesperson said, that Narromine’s gambling problem, has an array of causes that reflect issues to do with this complex problem Statewide.

“It can be genetic; it can be fi nancial pressure, it can be that you have a debt, and you think gambling could be a quick fi x,” they said.

The Perrottet State Government, before being voted out in March, had planned major gaming reforms after having joined forces with members of the Crossbench, and had vowed to introduce cashless payment systems to reduce

problem gambling.

The $344 million plan, would have seen legislation introduced to ensure a staged transition to universal cashless gambling, between 2024 and 2028.

“It will save lives,” Mr Perrottet said of his proposals at their launch.

“It will protect jobs and ensure that our communities across NSW are stronger now and into the future,” he added.

Proponent of the cashless gambling initiative, Independent MP for Sydney, Alex Greenwich, said that the latest gambling profit results, show that the problem has only gotten worse.

“We need to take real action

in NSW, to make sure the trial for cashless gaming, is as robust as possible,” he said.

The new Labor Government, has itself committed to a 12-month trial of cashless gaming cards for 500 poker machines starting on July 1 this year.

Premier Chris Minns, however, has made no promises on a Statewide roll-out of the reform.

“I’m not committing to that,” he said.

“What I am committing to, is a process where we can have an evidence-based response and approach to this complicated policy area,” he added.

The Government has also pledged to reduce the feedin limit for new machines to $500, ban external signage promoting gaming – including “VIP Lounge” signage – and reducing the number of machines across the State.

The CatholicCare spokesperson said that, due its complexity, problem gambling required a multi-faceted approach.

“Having a counsellor that deals with a gambling addiction, and then having a financial counsellor too, for managing the debt that often comes with gambling,” they said, was one successful form of therapy.

Narromine family in renewed fight for kids’ home motocross track

By LUKE WILLIAMS HOW much motorbike noise is too much on a rural property?

One Narromine family intends to fi nd out, hoping that a new development application (DA) will fi nally see approval of their private motorbike track after a two-year battle with Council.

Luke and Kerry Harding bought their 10-hectare (25-acre) block just out of Narromine a few years ago and – because all three children take part in motocross – they wanted to build a track for the children could practice on.

“Basically, we built a track in February two years ago; the day we fi nished, we got a phone call from the Council saying we had to stop because we need to make a development application,” Mr Harding said.

Narromine Shire Coun-

cil subsequently refused the DA, saying that the track failed a noise test.

The family then made some adjustments to their application, but the development was knocked back again at another Council meeting by just one vote.

Council is concerned that neighbours, some of whom are only 400 metres away, would be impacted by the noise of, in particular, the motorbikes jumping over the circuit’s ramps.

Mr Harding said that he was disappointed with the decision as the area is a primary production zone.

He said that his children now need somewhere to ride motocross in the area.

He also told the Narromine Star that they had already been riding on the paddock on a flat track, but that the construction of motorbike jumps remains a problem.

Narromine Shire Council also knocked back this

planner in Bathurst, and now we play the waiting game,” he said.

“Someone can plough a paddock at midnight, but we can’t ride a motorbike during the day,” he added.

He said the noise made by motorbikes on the track would be diminished by natural buffers around the property, including hedges the Hardings planted around the track’s edges.

“I don’t see how riding over the jumps changes that much of the noise levels.”

He was hopeful the input of the town planner would mean the track would go ahead.

General Manager of Narromine Shire Council, Jane Redden, told the Narromine Star of the long-running issue.

“The DA is currently under assessment, and will be reported to Council once the assessment has been completed,” she said.

Narromine man granted bail, after alleged bush crime spree

Appeal for Stolen Goods found in Trangie RURAL Crime Investigators are appealing for information from the public concerning several power tools, and equipment believed stolen, which Police located during the search of a residence in Trangie in late January 2023.

On January 25, 2023, Rural Crime Investigators from Bourke and Dubbo Central North Police District, along with local Police, executed a search warrant at a residence in Trangie in response to several thefts that had occurred in the area. During the search, Police seized some items they suspected of being stolen, including a Toolex brand air compressor, a pressure washer, a dual axle trailer, a Makita Drop saw, 2 Generators, a Black Snake recovery strap, and various other items.

Police have made several inquiries, however, they have been unable to identify the owner of these and various other items.

Anyone who has been the victim of theft before January 25, 2023, is encouraged to view the attached photo. If they believe they own any of the items, they are to contact Plain Clothes Senior Constable Blake Hillary or Detective Senior Constable Aaron Neilson at the Bourke Police Station on 6870 0899.

Central West Slopes and Plains area: The chance of fog and frost in the morning. Sunny afternoon. Light winds becoming northerly 15 to 20 km/h during the morning then becom-ing light during the day. Overnight temperatures falling to between 2 and 5 with daytime temperatures reaching the low to mid 20s.

Chance of any rain: 10% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Mostly sunny. Slight chance of a shower on the northern plains, near zero chance elsewhere. Light winds. Overnight temperatures falling to be-

application because of a lack of drainage and public interest – this decision sparked the Hardings to start an online petition which now has more than 1700 signatures.

Currently, the Harding children can ride next to the track and on the other areas of their land, but cannot use the circuit itself.

“We can ride at my place on the rest of the 25 acres, just not on the track; we can ride directly next to it, but because there are technically jumps, we need a DA,” he said.

Mr Harding has also offered to Council to ride bikes between certain hours and only a few hours a week. However, their proposals were voted down by one vote at a crucial vote last year.

Now Mr Harding hopes a new DA will finally see the track approved. “We have engaged the work of a town

After further investigations, he was later charged with an outstanding warrant in relation to a number of other offences, comprising: • Two counts of take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, • Larceny, • Enter enclosed agricultural land, damage property – aggravated, • Destroy or damage property, • Steal trailer, • Damage property by fi re/ explosion, • Custody of knife in public place, • Possess ammunition without holding licence/permit/authority, and • Possess prohibited drug.

The accused was initially refused bail after appearing at Dubbo Local Court on Saturday, April 29, but was later granted conditional bail to reappear at the same court on Friday, May 19.

The alleged offences follow the announcement that the University of New England's Centre for Rural Criminology, is preparing to carry out the fi rst national farm crime survey in two decades, a survey designed to build on individual state rural crime fi ndings.

A 24-YEAR-OLD Narromine man has been arrested in Carinda, about 70 kilometres south-west of Walgett, following a continuing investigation into property-related crime in rural areas around the region.

The man was taken to Walgett Police Station at about 1pm on Wednesday, May 3, and initially charged with driving a stolen vehicle.

His arrest followed concerns about growing rural theft that, in March, led to officers from the Rural Crime Prevention Team and Orana Mid-Western Police District establishing “Strike Force Dozer” to tackle the problem throughout the state's west.

Police at the time, said that towns including Narromine, Warren, Trangie, Nyngan, Cobar, and surrounding areas, had been increasingly affected by property theft from farms.

As part of the initiative, officers from the Strike Force were patrolling Merri Merri Road, south of Carinda, on Friday, April 28, when they found a vehicle that had been reported stolen from Narromine in March.

Following police inquiries, investigators were led to a shop in Carinda where they arrested the man the

tween 4 and 8 with daytime temperatures reaching 20 to 25.

Local push for Trangie defibrillators as TrainLink charges up new units

By LUKE WILLIAMS TRANGIE is looking for grants to set up more defibrillators around town as the NSW Government rolls out the life-saving units on NSW TrainLink services.

Each year, more than 30,000 Australians suffer cardiac arrests. If it happens outside a hospital, their chances of surviving are less than one-in-ten.

This is one of the reasons that the Trangie Action Group is currently looking to increase the number of defibrillators around town. Defibrillators are medical devices that use high-voltage electrical shocks to attempt to restart hearts under sudden cardiac arrest or to shock them back into their correct rhythm.

With this in mind, Trangie Action Group Secretary, Madeleine Bretag, told the Narromine Star, that obtaining as many of these invaluable medical devices as possible, is vital.

“The units cost approximately $3000 each, and we are looking to purchase three or four units, so it is essential that we fi nd funding to purchase them,” Ms Bretag said.

“We are looking at getting more defibrillators, but it can be quite expensive, and so the group (Trangie Action) is currently looking at applying for grants,” she added.

She said that, once purchased, indicating the location of the units with clear signage around town, will be vital for emergency use.

“We know that, sometimes access is a bit hard in town; for instance, the one at the fi re station requires someone to be there to unlock it, So, improved accessibility is what we are looking at also.

“Once we have the additional defibrillators, we will be placing signage on the garbage bin cases in the main street, showing where they can be located,” Ms Bretag said.

The campaign comes as the potentially life-saving equipment has just been installed on coaches across 53 NSW TrainLink routes to ensure safer journeys on long trips in remote areas.

State Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison, said that a trial was being rolled out that will

result in Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) being installed on all TrainLink timetabled coaches servicing routes of more than four hours.

“Defibrillators save lives, it’s as simple as that, which is why this initiative is so important on NSW TrainLink coach services,” Ms Aitchison said.

Chief Executive of NSW TrainLink Peter Allaway, said that placing defibrillators on coaches, grew from an idea initiated internally by passionate staff.

“This will benefit coach customers, drivers, and rural and remote communities as a whole, providing even safer public transport,” he said.

Country star Adam Brand a drawcard for record Truck and Tractor Show From page 1 Significant regional funding from the State Government and Narromine Shire Council, has also ensured the 2023 event will be a premier event for the region, he added.

A full day of entertainment for all the whole family, and not just the mechanically-minded, will include tractor pulls, truck displays, car and motorbike displays, a “smash ‘em up” derby, car barrel races, market stalls, and children’s entertainment, for the whole weekend.

Food will be available on the grounds from Friday through to Sunday, with camping also available.

Mr. McCutcheon said that the Show, will provide the community with an old-style get-together, of the type common in our rural past.

“The region has lost a lot of events in the agricultural show, the rodeo, and picnic races, so events like us, are really important to bring us together and bring people to the region,” he said.

“Truck shows are growing in pop-

Ambulance NSW revealed that only a small percentage of people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest without CPR or a defibrillator being administered.

“In a cardiac arrest, seconds count. When administered quickly, early CPR and using a defibrillator can increase a person’s chances of survival by up to 70 per cent,” he concluded.

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

ularity right around the country; these events are big drawcards, and there will be some tractors there, which are 60, 70 and 80 years old,” he added.

The event, he added, is designed to have something for everyone as a unique social outlet for people in the bush.

He explained, that the Show ultimately hopes to help create impetus for a hall of fame and a museum highlighting the historic importance of transport and agricultural machinery to our region,

similar to the Alice Springs “Truckies Hall of Fame”.

To start the process, the Committee has already put out a call for nominations for this year’s Hall of Fame inductees.

Anyone wishing to nominate a candidate worthy of recognition for 30 years’ contribution to the transport and agricultural industries, can do so now, the Committee said.

Nominations are now open, but they must be received by the end of June this year.

International League of Legends came to Narromine

By LUKE WILLIAMS IT was certainly big weekend for the Narromine Jets and the club as it hosted the Interna-tional Legends of League at Cale Oval and officially launching the new Bob Weir Grandstand on Saturday, April 29.

The blockbuster rugby league match featured QUBE Agri Narromine Jets All-Stars against the League of Legends Alkane Resources Team. The Narromine Jets All-Stars which was made up largely of people over the age of 35 – some of whom no longer live in the region – including ex-rugby league greats David Gillespie and David Walsh will join the Jets players. They took on the Alkane Resources Team which included game legends Cliff Lyons, John Hopoate and Ben Hannant.

Another legend who graced the turf was current Narromine captain-coach Doug Potter. The event had been a long time coming for Narromine, with the club organising the fi rst event of its kind outside of Queensland.

The event has come about through the work of Narromine Jets President Mick Burns said the Alkane Resources Team also gave talks on anti-bullying, mental health and positive use of social media.

Narromine Jets are now focused on the Castlereagh League which got underway over the weekend.

A move to the competition in 2022 helped Narromine strengthen their club – all three senior sides making it through to the fi nals and the reserve grade team went on to win the title.

Celebrating the culture and Make our own farm supplies here: GrainGrowers call to Government nature of Trangie’s Past

By LUKE WILLIAMS

By LUKE WILLIAMS A NEW exhibition at the Wungunja Cultural Centre seeks to connect people with Trangie’s history and nature. The enCounter project launched on Saturday, April 29, with the simultaneous launch of museum art installations and the release of the enCounter book of short stories.

“The installation walks people through the landscape and centers a waterhole,” a project spokesperson told the Narromine Star.

“It shows how the waterhole connected people and, in turn, connects people today back to people in the past. We also have nine regional writers who all went to a regional museum and have put together their stories into an anthology. It’s a tour guide with a difference. They talk about what you might feel and what the impact might be,” he said.

Part of Volunteers, Artists, Museums, Program (VAMP), enCounter is a project designed to connect museums, creatives, and audiences in regional NSW. Working with museum volunteers, curator Fiona MacDonald and writer Ruth Little, they encounter artists and writers who have drawn out stories, found new voices, and created new and transformative experiences for visitors.

The artists and writers are Nat Ord and Vanessa Keenan

(exhibiting at Gilgandra Museum), Robert Salt (Wungunja Cultural Centre), Helena Pastor, Catherine Moffat, Val Clark, Jason Richardson, Deborah Henley, Jamie Derkenne, Margaret (Peggy) Aitken, Alex Rosenblum, and Leah Szántó.

The installation was created by artist Rob Salt who told the Narromine Star, “it’s quite exciting as an artist to launch the new work”.

“It’s a great opportunity to develop an artwork that reflects the culture and the beautiful nature around the region,” he said “It is a three-minute 20-second video with sounds of the local environment projected onto a wall with an installation like a mock campsite, so I’m telling a story about what life what like in the Trangie area, telling a story around the campfire, and then its a story about us all coming together to care for our country. So I wanted to make sure there was a positive message that we all have a role to play in caring for country and our beautiful land.”

The project spokesperson said, “Projects like this are important to engage people with the museums to see that museums are places of impact. They are not just places where the past sits dormant, but where the past changes the present and therefore can impact the future”.

The project runs until the end of next month.

AUSTRALIAN farmers should be able to get most of their farm supplies from local manufacturers, one of our leading producer organisations, believes.

Industry group, GrainGrowers, believes that the Australian Government should stepup industry support to help develop a domestic farm input industry.

The Australian grains industry, relies too heavily on overseas supply chains for various farm supplies including fertilisers, agricultural chemicals, machinery, machinery parts, and fuel, GrainGrowers Chair, Rhys Turton, said.

“These inputs are critical to industry productivity, directly affecting crop yield and quality, and disruptions to supply can seriously impact profitability,” Mr Turton said.

“Increased domestic manufacture, lowers the risk posed by international supply chain disruptions, offering greater security of supply, lowering the risk of biosecurity breaches and helping the Australian economy,” he added.

In support of this call, GrainGrowers recently made a formal submission to the Government, calling for more opportunities for the domestic manufacturing of critical

agricultural products.

“Disruptions to the supply of these inputs, results in a decrease in grower resilience, profitability, and viability,” the submission said.

“To ensure security of supply, more opportunities for domestic manufacture of critical agricultural inputs, are required,” it added.

Development of such industries, would offer a range of valuable side-benefits, the submission said.

“This would provide local employment opportunities, shorten our supply chain, and ameliorate some of the risks posed by international supply chain disruptions,” the submission went on.

“Government investment in the green domestic manufacture of critical inputs, will play a key role in assisting with improving the grains industry's emissions profi le.”

Keeping manufacturing offshore, conversely, produced a number of disadvantages for local producers, they said.

“Inputs like fertiliser, do not have regularly-published pricing information, which makes cost management for farmers extremely difficult,” it argued.

GrainGrowers is therefore calling on the Government to diversify the supply of critical farm inputs, by: “increasing opportunities for domestic manufacturing of

fertiliser, chemical, fuel, and other components such as spare parts through the National Reconstruction Fund (NRF)” and “Investigate ways to improve price transparency in fertiliser markets.

The call was part of the group's string of recommendations made to the Government in its recent submission, including on road funding.

GrainGrowers said that, the continuing impact of flooding on local roads, reiterates the need for sustainable funding: “to assist with ongoing and overdue maintenance.

“The Australian Government must increase the level of dedicated funding for regional and rural local roads,” they added.

The group wants a $1 billion investment over four years in a targeted Regional Infrastructure Recovery Program, to assist local government in repairing flood-impacted rural roads.

GrainGrowers also wants an expanded grant program to diversify agritrade exports in Australia, better data measuring workforce shortages, a “fit for purpose” visa scheme, and a longer-term plan to ensure that Australian grain farmers and the wider rural community can access improved mobile and internet connectivity.

One in six Australians experience hearing loss.

Having a hearing test helps to detect the early signs of hearing loss, so we can keep our hearing healthy for longer.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, May 11, 2023

Narromine ties to newlydiscovered WWII Montevideo Maru wreckage IT was Australia’s greatest maritime loss-of-life, and its recent discovery has renewed local links to this wartime disaster.

Wreck of the Imperial Japanese transport ship, the SS Montevideo Maru – whose sinking was one of our greatest sea tragedies – has recently been located more than 4000 metres beneath the South China Sea, 81 years after it was torpedoed.

Several people hailing from Narromine, or with links to our region were on the ship, which was sunk by an American submarine in the early hours of July 1, 1942 – the American sub-mariners not knowing that the boat contained Allied prisoners.

A total of 1000 people died when the ship sunk, including more than 800 Australian Prisoners-of-War (POWs) and it remains the worst maritime disaster involving Australians.

Education Coordinator with the Rabaul and Montevideo Maru Group of the Papua New Guinea Association of Australia, Patrick Bourke, said that the location of the wreck, would provide many families with closure.

He added that the fi ndings, were also an opportunity to reflect on what life was like on these ships.

“People were crowded in like sardines. There was very little food or water,” he said.

“They were always at risk, and knew they were at risk of being bombed or torpedoed by American forces, who did not know they were on the ship,” he added.

Because of the deliberate policy of the Imperial Japa-

They both died on the Montevideo Maru when this Japanese POW transportation ship was sunk by an American submarine on July 1, 1942. PHOTOS: AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL. nese Navy, to not mark these ships as carrying POWS and civilian non-combatants as required by the rules of war, the torpedoing of the ship – essentially “friendly fi re” – sealed their demise.

Among those lost, were 133 commandos from the Australian Imperial Force 1st Independent Company, and members of the Lark Force captured in New Guinea.

At least 11 of those who died, are now known to have come from or had strong links to the Central West. Private William (Bill) Everingham, 23, for one, was the son of Arthur and Ann Everingham of Narromine.

To show the scale of the tragedy, almost twice as many Australians died in this one incident, than were killed in the entire Vietnam War. It also dwarfed the number of those killed on the HMAS Sydney

(645) in 1941; and the sinking by a Japanese submarine of the hospital ship, the Centaur (268) in 1943.

The wreck was discovered following an extraordinary mission put together by Sydney’s Silentworld Foundation, which is dedicated to maritime archaeology and history, and Dutch company Fugro, who are deep-sea survey specialists, with the support from the Australian Department of Defence.

The search had commenced on Thursday, April 6, in the West Philippine Sea about 110km north-west of Luzon.

After just 12 days (Tuesday, April 18), a positive sighting was recorded using state-ofthe-art technology which included an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with in-built sonar.

It then took several days to

verify the wreck, using expert analysis from the project team, comprising maritime archaeologists, conservators, operations and research specialists, and ex-naval officers.

It had taken nearly five years of planning by Silentworld – and 20 years of dedication from the Montevideo Maru Society – to assemble the expedition team, led by Australian businessman, maritime history philanthropist, and explorer, John Mullen, who is the director of Silentworld.

“The discovery of the Montevideo Maru, closes a terrible chapter in Australian military and maritime history,” Mr Mullen said.

“Families waited years for news of their missing loved ones, before learning of the tragic outcome of the sinking,” he added.

The discovery will fi nally

bring closure to these families, he believes.

“Some never fully accepted that their loved ones were among the victims.

“Today, by fi nding the vessel, we hope to bring closure to the many families devastated by this terrible disaster.”

The discovery, he said, was the result of the single-minded determination of a number of individuals and groups.

“I would like to express my gratitude to all of the dedicated Silentworld team involved in this expedition; to the outstanding Fugro crew and technical team on board the (survey vessel) Fugro Equator; and to the Australian Department of Defence, for their unwavering support,” Mr Mullen said.

Chief of the Australian Army, Lieutenant General Simon Stuart, added that fi nding the wreck, has ended 81 years of uncertainty for the loved ones of the lost.

“The Australian soldiers, sailors, and aviators, who had fought to defend Rabaul, had enlisted from across the country to serve, met a terrible fate at sea on the Montevideo Maru,” he said.

“Today, we remember their service, and the loss of all those aboard, including the 20 Japanese guards and crew, the Norwegian sailors, and the hundreds of civilians from many nations,” he added.

“A loss like this, reaches down through the decades, and reminds us all of the human cost of confl ict. Lest We Forget,” Lieutenant General Stuart concluded.

Saunders elected new National’s State Leader

By LUKE WILLIAMS IN good news for western NSW, Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders has been elected the new leader of the State Nationals.

The former ABC Radio presenter secured the leadership in a party room vote on Monday, May 8 taking on the incumbent Paul Toole and winning the vote easily 10 votes to five.

The former Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW in the previous Coalition Government, pledged renewal for the regional-based party, for which he said he wanted to see a: “fresh start”.

“People have really forgotten what the Nat’s stand

for,” Mr. Saunders said after the meeting on Monday afternoon. “For some people, the NSW Nationals are sucking on straw in a paddock.

“We are a modern party that represents modern people. That’s young people, that’s women and men, that’s professionals, that’s doctors and nurses, that’s teachers,” he added.

Mr Saunders had previously challenged the Bathurst MP and former Deputy Premier in early April, following the March election loss. At that vote, Mr Toole won the party room ballot by nine votes to the Dubbo MP’s seven.

The new vote came after internal Coalition controversy over Labor Premier

Chris Minns’ offer of the plum Upper House chair role to senior Nationals MP, Ben Franklin, who is a close friend and a Godfather to one of Mr Minns’ three sons.

The prestigious NSW Legislative Council President’s spot comes with a $150,000 pay rise and perks, including a driver, three staff members, and a private dining room.

Now that Mr Franklin has taken up the role, having said that he had been encouraged to by Mr Toole, the Government’s task in passing laws becomes far easier. With both the Labor and the Coalition having 15 seats each, the 12 cross-benches now become vital in negotiations.

The move has therefore led many in the party to criticise Mr Franklin and raised concerns about keeping the new Labor Government to account. Opposition Leader, Mark Speakman, himself described the move as, an: “act of treachery”.

The move and subsequent debate about Mr Toole’s pre-knowledge of the move, stirred up leadership tensions again within the Nationals with three MPs shifting their vote to the former radio host.

“We will do our job with determination and grace,” Mr Saunders said.

“We will be making sure, we hold this Government to account,” he concluded.

Newly elected leader of the Nationals for NSW, Dugald Saunders.

In Heart Week, Cardiac Catheter Lab completes its 500th angiogram

DUBBO Hospital’s Cardiac Catheter Laboratory reached a significant milestone last week.

Advanced Trainee Cardiology at Dubbo Hospital, Dr Neil Goonetilleke, revealed that the Cardiac Catheter Laboratory completed its 500th angiogram since opening last year, a timely reminder of the importance of heart disease prevention during Heart Week.

This event is held the fi rst week of May, to raise awareness of the importance of heart health and positive steps people can take to help reduce risk of heart disease, Dr Goonetilleke said.

“Chronic diseases, like coronary disease, remain a major concern in our District but, since opening the Cardiac Cath Lab here in Dubbo, it has significantly improved access to this life-saving care for patients all over the District,” Dr Goonetilleke said.

“As one component of our District-wide cardiology service, we’ve treated patients from here in the Dubbo community but also from remote areas like Lightning Ridge, Bourke and Walgett,” he added.

To mark Heart Week 2023, Western NSW Local Health

“Maintaining a healthy diet, doing regular physical activity, and quitting smoking are three positive steps that can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, particularly by helping to reduce and control blood pressure and cholesterol,” Dr Goonetilleke said.

District is reminding communities of the simple steps they can take to keep their heart healthy, he explained.

“While the service has been incredibly successful so far,

and reduced the need for patients to travel for cardiac care, we can all take simple steps to help keep us out of hospital,” he said.

“Maintaining a healthy diet,

doing regular physical activity, and quitting smoking are three positive steps that can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, particularly by helping to reduce and con-

trol blood pressure and cholesterol,” Dr Goonetilleke said.

Understanding heart health and other risk factors like age, family history, diabetes and obesity is also incredibly important, he added.

“I encourage everyone to speak to their doctor and have a Heart Health Check to understand and manage their risk.

“Don’t ignore any warning signs as heart disease can very easily lead to heart attack, or failure.

“Warning signs of a heart attack include chest pain, arm or shoulder pain, jaw pain and shortness of breath. If you have these symptoms, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.”

The Dubbo Hospital Cardiac Catheter Laboratory began operations in June 2022 and was the fi nal service to come online as part of the $306 million Dubbo Health Service Redevelopment.

Groceries costing way too much?

Blame supermarket giants, farmers say SPENDING way too much at the supermarket? Blame giant retailers, not our farmers, our largest primary producer representative body says.

High grocery prices currently being experienced are the fault of big businesses who are abusing market power, the NSW Farmers have claimed.

With shelf prices for common food commodities increasing at far higher levels than our inflation rate, they are now calling upon the Federal Government to crack down on the near-monopoly status of these companies.

“We know food is the second largest household expenditure behind rent or mortgage repayments, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported food spending increased by 12.8 per cent in the

12 months to February 2023,” NSW Farmers Business, Economics and Trade Committee Chair, John Lowe, said.

“But, we also know the cost of groceries is increasing, not just because of inflation, but because of years and years of consolidation in the food processing and retail sector,” he added.

Farmers had campaigned long and hard for diversity in the marketplace and fairness in dealings with these companies, Mr Lowe said, with a voluntary “Food and Grocery Code” designed to improve the behaviour of retailers and wholesalers towards suppliers, he added.

“Where once there were many businesses in the food sector, the level of market concentration we see today has led to incredible power

imbalances that are driving up the cost of food for consumers,” he said.

While the Code had made some improvements, he said that a recent Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) report found it had “significant shortcomings”.

“If the Federal Government is serious about tackling some of the cost-of-living problems... then it needs to listen to the expert advice of the nation’s competition watchdog and make our markets fairer for everyone,” Mr Lowe believes.

“Implementing recommendations from the ACCC’s 2020 Perishable Agricultural Goods Inquiry would be an excellent starting point to bring food prices down for consumers.

“The entire reason the ACCC came to be in the fi rst place was to protect the consumer, and it’s about time these recommendations were taken seriously,” Mr Lowe concluded.

Among the ACCC recommendations NSW Farmers wanted to see implemented were: • Making the Food and Grocery Code mandatory with civil penalties for breaches • An economy-wide prohibition on unfair trading practices • An overhaul of the current merger and acquisition approval process.

There also needs to be an analysis of supply chain profits with a focus on markups and price-gouging, NSW Farmers believes.

Spending way too much at the supermarket? Blame giant retailers, not our farmers, NSW Farmers says, calling upon the Federal Government to crack down on their near-monopoly status.

Fed money but no guidelines holding back council projects, Coulton says AS all practical country people know, announcing something is a world away from delivering it.

Lack of detailed guidelines on new Federal Government grants for regional councils means work cannot start on vital roads and infrastructure projects and roads, Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has said.

Mr Coulton recently announced another $12,255,336 for 18 councils in his electorate – including for Warren Shire, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Narromine and Bogan – under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program.

While welcoming the funding, Mr Coulton said that now is the time that the specifics on the how, what, when, and where, the money can be spent is provided.

“Without knowing what they will or won’t be able to do with this money, it is very difficult for councils to plan their capital works projects, so these details matter,” Mr Coulton said.

“It’s been very frustrating for councils across my electorate to have to wait so long before they can even begin

to plan their own budgets, and it is unclear why there has been this level of delay,” he added.

The Commonwealth money is part of $250 million allocated nationally under Phase Four, Part B, of the LRCI program.

However, he said that the Government hasn’t even released the guidelines yet for local councils to commit spending for Part A of the same program, which was announced in February, for a total of more than $21 million locally.

“I have called on Labor to release the funding allocations in full for the LRCI program,” he said.

“I now call on them to release the guidelines so that councils can get on with putting this money to use, and planning their priority projects,” Mr Coulton added.

The newly announced funds include $1.24 million for Dubbo, and more than $500,000 each for Bogan, Narromine and Gilgandra councils.

Warren Shire Council has been allocated $377,967 in the Phase Four-Part B funding, which adds to the $655,258 allocated in Part A.

Mr Coulton said that he would also like to see the Labor Government commit to the ongoing continuation of the LRCI program, beyond the current Phase Four of the spending initiative.

“This program was initially created by the Coalition Government to assist councils during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mr Coulton explained.

It has “maintained its relevance in supporting local governments during natural disasters over recent years”.

The program is essentially designed to provide extra funding to help councils undertake improvements to locally-identified infrastructure in their local government areas.

“Our communities benefit directly from this funding, with councils being the level of government which is closest to the people they serve,” he said.

“I call on the Labor Government to commit to making the LRCI program an ongoing program beyond Phase Four, as recognition of the vital role of councils in our regional communities,” Mr Coulton concluded.

New Federal grants for roads and infrastructure need guidelines released before the funds can be allocated, according to Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, who is pictured with Broken Hill Shire Mayor, Tom Kennedy. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Vivacious and adventurous: Trakmaster Gray Nomads come to town!

By KAYLA FOWLER AROUND 80 Trakmaster Off Road Caravans commuted from all over Australia to stay a week in the Narromine shire and explore all it has to offer for their annual get together.

Arriving on Wednesday, May 3, the Trakmaster group loaded into the Narromine showgrounds taking six-to-eight ‘Parking Marshalls’ to help allocate members to their sites for the week’s stay.

Each year the Trakmaster members will put together a handful of different towns across all states that they believe could use some funding injection into the community to finally select one, this year it was Narromine’s turn.

The local showground acts as a base and meeting point for the group over the duration of the week.

The annual event organisers change yearly, the Trakmaster organisers for 2023 are Colin and Kay Ward.

During their weeks’ stay they are exploring and visiting different businesses, organisations, and tourist attractions around the local district.

Making it their mission to inject and raise funds for the town and surrounding areas through their own initiative.

This is taken place via different workshops, activities, and events within the community and amongst themselves.

Some include a visit to

Jenny Curry and Christen Young. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. the Mudyigalang Craft Group at Narromine, breakfast by Narromine Rotary Club, twilight bowls at Narromine Bowling Club, garden-themed dinner party at USMC, farm tours at Mumble Peg Citrus and Hamilton Pride Egg Fame, boxed lunch and local garden tour, site seeing at Rabbit Trap Hotel, Barbed Wire Sculptures at Glen Willow, local ParkRun and more.

Each year brings a new theme – this year’s theme is ‘All Things Gardening’.

Members are encour-

aged to bring a plant or succulent that contributes to the ‘garden store’ set up on site. Some members bought multiple. All are priced and available to purchase by Trakmaster members with all proceeds being donated back to the local community.

There is a raffle for Trakmaster members to purchase tickets to go in the draw to win an array of prizes donated by businesses and organisations.

Along with their garden store and raffle they also include a chocolate toss,

in which all members bring a chocolate bar and place it on a mesh table.

They throw gold coin donations – trying to land on chocolate bars, whatever doesn’t land goes into the funds all donated back to the local community!

One member laughed as mentioned another paid “$26 for a block of chocolate last night”.

Not only are they coming to town with a positive and strong purpose fundraising for the town but also having fun and socialising with community members.

They bring an abundance of sense of humour, vibrancy and stories of their adventures and trips around Australia during their stay.

Trakmaster member Bron Ingle spoke about how much the funds can mean to small communities. Sharing a story from a previous year in a different community about youth trying to raise funds to go to the beach, mentioning that by the end of their stay in that particular community, the Trakmaster Group were able to raise and contribute enough funds for the youth to all visit the beach as they had been trying to raise money for.

Bron ended this fond account with “it still brings a tear to my eye”.

The community can only be grateful for the Trakmaster Off Road Caravan Group in their efforts in contributing to the Narromine shire.

Travellers Club impressed with Narromine

By LUKE WILLIAMS “Friendly people, great amenities, lots to do.”

More than 100 people attended Narromine for a week as part of a traveling caravan club called Trakmasters.

The Trakmaster Off-Road Caravan Club (TORCC) is a group of people with common interests in remote area travel and travel in large groups to remote towns across the country.

“We absolutely love it in Narromine,” said event organiser Kay Ward whose travelers came from all over the east coast of Australia.

“We fi rst came here because we

had a friend who passed away, and we came here for the funeral. When I visited again, I noticed that the town looked like it needed a bit of love, so I put the idea to Trakmasters, and we came to visit.”

She said, “The fi rst time we came through, it looked like quite a vibrant place, and then we came through again; a lot of the shops were closed; it just looked like it needed a bit of love and the cash injection that our group can bring.”

Every year they choose a small town that they feel needs a “bit of a helping hand.”

Trakmasters brought 82 caravans to town.

Club Secretary Geoff Steer said the club had spent an entire week in the town undertaking various activities and eating out at the town’s

eateries.

“We enjoyed our time thoroughly,” he said, “Our club has a great comrade, and when you travel to remote areas together, it builds very strong relationships between people. We love the travel from city areas”.

“We’ve been out to the free-range egg farms and a cheese farm; it’s been great.”

The Narromine Garden Club hosted the Trakmaster Caravan Club on Sunday, 8 May. Anne Harmer from the Narromine Garden Club told the Narromine Star.

“It was great to meet all the different people. There were over 100 who arrived. It was a lovely sunny day, and we all had a perfect time around three extensive, beautiful gardens presented beautifully on the day”.

Celebrating the culture and nature of Trangie’s Past

By LUKE WILLIAMS A NEW exhibition at the Wungunja Cultural Centre seeks to connect people with Trangie’s history and nature.

The enCounter project launched on Saturday, April 29, with the simultaneous launch of museum art installations and the release of the enCounter book of short stories.

“The installation walks people through the landscape and centers a waterhole,” a project spokesperson told the Narromine Star.

“It shows how the water-

hole connected people and, in turn, connects people today back to people in the past. We also have nine regional writers who all went to a regional museum and have put together their stories into an anthology.

“It’s a tour guide with a difference. They talk about what you might feel and what the impact might be,” he said.

Part of Volunteers, Artists, Museums, Program (VAMP), enCounter is a project designed to connect museums, creatives, and audiences in regional NSW. Working with museum volunteers, curator

Fiona MacDonald and writer Ruth Little, they encounter artists and writers who have drawn out stories, found new voices, and created new and transformative experiences for visitors.

The artists and writers are Nat Ord and Vanessa Keenan (exhibiting at Gilgandra Museum), Robert Salt (Wungunja Cultural Centre), Helena Pastor, Catherine Moffat, Val Clark, Jason Richardson, Deborah Henley, Jamie Derkenne, Margaret (Peggy) Aitken, Alex Rosenblum, and Leah Szántó.

Come and meet Narromine firies at their Open Day

By LUKE WILLIAMS WITH a big jump in the number of house fi res during winter, now is a good time to learn more about home fi re safety.

So why not take part in Fire and Rescue NSW’s (FRNSW) and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) combined Open Day this weekend at Narromine Fire Station?

This is the perfect opportunity to meet your local fi refighters and learn about home fi re safety at a range of free activities that includes fi refighting demonstrations, station tours, and safety presentations.

Families will also be able to check out both FRNSW and RFS fi re trucks, learn about fi refighting equipment, and chat with local

fi refighters about the critical work they do to keep communities safe.

Local Captain, Ewen Jones, said the Open Day is an opportunity to show people that FRNSW and RFS fi refighters do so much more than fight fi res.

“From road crashes, hazardous material incidents, and natural disasters, to urban search and rescue, medical responses, and humanitarian relief, our fi refighters are prepared for anything and ready to help anyone, anytime, anywhere,” he said.

Captain Jones said that the Open Day is also a great time to talk to the experts about home fi re safety in the leadup to winter.

“This year, we want you to prepare your homes early for winter by using our Get

Ready Checklist and check your smoke alarms, as only working smoke alarms save lives,” he said.

He said that statistics indicate a working smoke alarm halves the risk of fatality in a house fi re.

“Smoke alarms should be tested every month and replaced every 10 years. Batteries should be checked every year and changed when required, and smoke alarms should be vacuumed every six months,” he said.

“We also see a 10 per cent increase in the number of home fi res during the winter months, with more fi res starting in bedrooms and loungerooms, due to things like heaters and electric blankets,” he concluded.

ed by artist Rob Salt who told the Narromine Star “it’s quite exciting as an artist to launch the new work”.

“It’s a great opportunity to develop an artwork that reflects the culture and the beautiful nature around the region,” he said “It is a three-minute 20-second video with sounds of the local environment projected onto a wall with an installation like a mock campsite, so I’m telling a story about what life what like in the Trangie area, telling a story around the campfi re, and then its a story about us all coming to-

gether to care for our country. So I wanted to make sure there was a positive message that we all have a role to play in caring for country and our beautiful land.”

The project spokesperson said, “Projects like this are important to engage people with the museums to see that museums are places of impact.

“They are not just places where the past sits dormant, but where the past changes the present and therefore can impact the future”.

The project runs until the end of next month.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Changes to the PBS risk unintended consequences I HAVE warned that recently announced changes to the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS) may have unintended consequences for our towns.

The Labor government has announced a coming change to dispensing limits so that 60-days-worth of medicines can be accessed at one time in order to halve costs for patients, however many local pharmacists have contacted me appalled at this proposal.

The unintended consequences of these changes could not only make local pharmacies in our towns unsustainable by drastically impacting their dispensary income, but also increase the risk of medication misadventures and hospitalisations as patients access medicines in larger quantities.

The impact of 60-day dispensing has also been flagged as a likely cause of additional supply issues, with these expected to hit regional towns hardest – yet another example of city-centric policy making.

I urge the Labor government to reconsider the impact of this change and consider more broadly the negative effects this could have on our regions.

More funding for Parkes electorate councils FUNDING has been announced for councils in the electorate of Parkes through the highly successful Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program.

While I welcome this funding, which includes another $12,255,336 allocated to the 18 councils in the Parkes electorate, I’m calling on the Labor government to release the guidelines for the whole of phase four LRCI program funding.

Councils need to know the guidelines around this funding in order to begin planning how they can use this money for their communities. I also call on the Labor government to assure councils that this incredibly helpful program, initiated by the former coalition government, will be continued beyond phase four.

CORONATION QUICHE INGREDIENTS Pastry

125g plain flour Pinch of salt 25g cold butter, diced 25g lard 2 tablespoons milk Or 1 x 250g block of shortcrust pastry

Filling 125ml milk 175ml double cream 2 medium eggs 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon Salt and pepper 100g grated cheddar cheese 180g cooked spinach, lightly chopped 60g cooked broad beans or soya beans

METHOD

Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl; add the fats and rub the mixture together using your finger tips until you get a sandy texture.

Add the milk a little at a time and bring the ingredients together into a dough.

Cover and allow to rest in the fridge for 30-45 minutes Flour the work surface and roll the pastry out to a 5mm thick circle, a little larger than the top of the 20cm tin.

Line the tin with the pastry, cover and rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 190°C, and line the pastry case with greaseproof paper, add baking beans and bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and baking beans, and reduce the oven temperature to 160°C. Beat together the milk, cream, eggs, herbs and seasoning.

Scatter half of the grated cheese into the blind-baked base, top with the chopped spinach and beans and herbs, then pour over the liquid mixture.

Gently stir to even out the filling.

Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and lightly golden.

Gerries back in action

By NORM LEWIS

FOLLOWING a week’s break, some 12 players turned up for the Gerries golf competition on Wednesday, May 3. It was a pleasant afternoon with the course in top condition following the recent rain.

Top player on the day was Col Shepherdson with a great score of 27 points to convincingly win the event which was played on the back nine. The next best score was Greg Kearines on 23 points.

At the latter end of the field, there was a battle for the NAGA prize between Bob Fletcher and “Boof” Fraser on 17 points. The count back was called for and “Fletch” was declared the winner. Once again, no winner in the Nearest The Pin comp so the prize goes into the jackpot pool.

There were a couple of games of Pool in the weekly event. The preliminary game was between Terry Willis and Col Shepherdson against Chris Harding and Bob Fletcher with the latter pair advancing to the final. The finalists were Ross King and Greg Kearines against Harding and Fletcher. As is usual when these teams meet there is a certain amount of controversy. Finally, Harding and Fletcher were declared the winners and awarded the title of Pool Champs for the week.

Special thanks are extended to Ron Green who provided some great food for snacks after the game. Very thoughtful and gratefully received Ron. The next Gerries comp is on Wednesday, May 10, on the front nine with the hit off at 3pm. Results next issue.

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

NARROMINE Gorillas Rugby last weekend travelled to Bathurst to take on “The Students” of CSU Mitchell Rugby in Round Three of the New Holland Cup. Short numbers, however, meant most players backed up to play more than their usual 80 minutes, notably Ben Peters, who played a massive 120 minutes of game time.

In the matches, Second Grade cruised to a comfortable 63-5 win with Ratu Roko notably steaming the full-length of the field to score; with two tries in 15 minutes also going to Harry Vincent.

In First Grade, the first half was a tough 40 minutes, but the

second half saw the team falling back into their rhythm and taking charge, eventually winning 22-9.

“This was a good confidence booster after the loss to Parkes last week,” Captain Hugh Browning said of the result.

“We are now looking to fi nd consistency on the field, regardless of changes to the line-up,” he added.

First Grade is now equal second on the ladder, as are Second Grade with Mudgee in the lead.

The Gorillas take on “The Wombats” this weekend at home, at “Royal Cale Oval”, where there is a great chance for the local sides to get ahead on the leader-board.

RESPECT for officials and refs, with Junior Jets’ positive play

By GINNI BROWN IT was fair play all round, for local League juniors on the weekend.

Round Two for the Narromine Junior Jets was the #RESPECT round, which the NSW Rugby League has created to encourage positive game day behaviour to support all

match officials and referees.

In this spirit of sportsmanship, clubs were encouraged to have their captains and coaches meet with the referees prior to each match and have conversations with their players about respecting the people running the game.

Jets Club President, Tim Roberts, said that he appre-

ciated the stance the League has taken on the issue.

“The majority of clubs, including the Narromine Junior Jets, don’t tolerate any poor player behaviour towards match officials,” he said.

“It's important to remind, not only the players, but the coaches and spectators, that respect to everyone on the

field, is a basic expectation of running on,” he concluded.

In this spirit, the Under 7’s Red team took the round very seriously in their match against the South Dubbo Raiders with coaches Ryan Pratten and Tim Beattie, very proud of the way the team played. >> More photos inside
