Grassfire Narromine’s Dr Niro contained at Trangie Wikramasinghe wins By SHARON BONTHUYS THE NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) reported that fi refighters and waterbombing aircraft worked to contain a grassfi re burning in the Enmore Road area in a southerly direction towards Dandaloo Road, west of Trangie, on October 21. The NSW RFS issued warnings that residents south-west of Trangie should prepare and check and follow their bushfi ire survival plans. Trangie residents expressed relief and thanks on local social media following the containment of the fi re. Temperatures are expected to dip later this week before returning again to spring highs next week, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Fire danger ratings THE NSW RFS website lists 21 fi re weather areas across NSW. The Narromine Shire is located within the Lower Central West Plains area which also includes the local government areas of Bland, Forbes, Lachlan, Parkes, Temora, Weddin and Dubbo. In this fi re weather area, the fi re danger rating currently remains “high”, which equates to “be ready to act”. The NSW RFS website says that “fi re danger ratings and total fi re bans are determined each afternoon for the following day. Continued page 3
distinguished service award By SHARON BONTHUYS POPULAR Narromine General Practitioner (GP) Dr Niroshini Wikramasinghe, known fondly as “Dr Niro”, has received a Distinguished Service Award from the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) for providing significant service to rural communities. Dr Niro was not present when the award was announced during the ACRRM Rural Medicine Australia conference in Hobart last week. The award has surprised the humble and quietly spoken GP, who has lived in Australia since 2012, and is now a Practice Principal at Narromine Shire Family Health Centre. Dr Niro was nominated for the award by Dr Marina Parente, who with Dr Andy Caldin is a senior medical officer at the Narromine Health Service. Ref lecting on the award, the Sri Lankan-born GP said: “It’s recognition not only for myself but also for other international medical graduates who work in and service small rural communities in Australia.” As well as being a committed Rural Generalist in Narromine and the surrounding region, Dr Niro is a dedicated supervisor to international medical graduates and reg-

romine as a trainee GP in 2014 and then I decided this is where I’m going to be, and I’m here still. I live in this amazing little community that is very welcoming to a doctor like me and my practice, and they’ve believed in me. “I’m the Practice Prin-
cipal now and they’ve put trust in me to take that position and keep the practice going. I’ve had a great team behind me helping me with that,” she said. When asked what inspired her to supervise future Rural Generalists, Dr Niro says it was the encouragement of her colleague and ACRRM Fellow, Dr Neil McCarthy. “I have been very fortunate to have experienced Rural Generalists as my mentors, including Dr Robert Kirkby, Dr Dean Wright, Dr Sam Wakista and Dr Neil McCarthy, and I still remember words of wisdom from them,” Dr Niro said. “Supervision and mentoring is a wonderful way to nurture junior doctors to be who they want to be.” Dr Niro took on the Practice Principal role at the Narromine Shire Family Health Centre during the pandemic, a very difficult time for health services all round. The practice now has two GPs who have received the ACRRM Distinguished Service Award. Dr Neil McCarthy also received the award in 2021 for more than three decades of service to rural communities, working in Warren before moving to Narromine in 2015.

By SHARON BONTHUYS DAYS after winning a national transport award on the Gold Coast, Dubbo truck driver Stephanie Arpasi was back behind the wheel and on her way to Western Australia. The 22-year-old driver-operator was recently named the National Road Transport Association’s (NatRoads) Youth Employee of the Year at a gala event on the Gold Coast on September 29. Talking to the Narromine Star from Wilcannia recently, Ms Arpasi said she was very excited and thankful to have received the award. Driving for Dubbo-based Fardell’s Heavy Haulage for the past couple of years, Stephanie has made a huge impact on colleagues in a short period of time. Fardell’s provides heavy Min 7. Max 24.

haulage, general and bulk freight services, wet and dry plant hire and earthmoving solutions for central west NSW. Ms Arpasi learnt from NatRoads that she had been “nominated by a few people”, and then had progressed to the fi nalists, resulting in her trip north to attend the award ceremony at RACV Royal Pines Resort. It was an experience Ms Arpasi will remember for some time to come. “Everyone else was so much older than me, and also being a female in the industry was a big thing as well,” she said. Ms Arpasi says the heavy haulage industry provides different experiences while enabling her to visit many different locations. “You’re always carrying different loads. It’s not the same thing repeti-

tively,” she said. Ms Arpasi has some goals for the future including moving up to drive much bigger rigs. “I want to operate ten-line and 12line platforms,” she said, referring to trailers with ten or 12 axels underneath them. “That’s what I’d like to end up operating and I’d like to own my own heavy haulage company one day as well.” Colleagues say that Stephanie’s skills in safely securing heavy equipment for long haulage is meticulous and she applies the same approach to driving. NatRoad chair Paul Fellows said Ms Arpasi was an outstanding example to other young women in a male-dominated profession. Congratulations, Stephanie!

Passage of Time mural charts Trangie’s history
Mural committee members Pat Riley, Kathleen Bennett and Jessie Quigley.
The timeline has been extensively researched.
By SHARON BONTHUYS A TIMELINE has recently been added to the Passage of Time mural in Trangie, bringing to a close a unique project celebrating the town’s history and connections to water, irrigation, and agriculture. The timeline project has been a labour of love for three local ladies in the Trangie Action Group’s (TAG) mural committee, Kathleen Bennett, Jessie Quigley and Pat Riley, who led the research to develop the timeline. “The theory behind what we’ve done is the history of water and agriculture in this area. That is what the mural depicts,” said Mrs Bennett. “That was the notion of coming over the mountains – look-

ing for water and land,” said Mrs Riley. The beautiful water and agriculture mural on the side of the old butcher shop in Dandaloo Street was developed and produced by Dubbo-based visual artist Jack Randell, who has exhibited in Japan, Spain and Australia. The mural is created on panels that have been attached to the wall of the old building. The mural project started several years ago and the fi nal updated timeline that now sits below the mural has just been installed in recent months. The timeline is the result of an exhaustive and extensive search for information by the mural committee, who feel not only a great sense of pride in completing the project, but
also relief. “It’s been fantastic digging around for all this information. It’s been glorious,” Mrs Bennett said. “We went everywhere [for the timeline information]. Elderly people. Local people. People involved in the irrigation industry. The Sydney Morning Herald, going back to the Ark. Old family histories. We’ve done a fair dig around.” Despite their extensive and rigorous research, and all the information the volunteer committee members have gathered in good faith, they expect that someone, somewhere, will take issue with the information in the timeline. “Someone will no doubt say, ‘that’s wrong!’” Mrs Quigley said philosophically, point-
ing out that no one has complained yet about the timeline information. “This has been researched to the best of our knowledge,” Mrs Bennett said. “We’ve had comments of support that it’s of interest to tourists as well as the local people.” “A lot of people do stop in front of the irrigation office to look at it. The more you look at it, the more you realise how good it is,” Mrs Quigley said. “Every time you look at it, you see something different you haven’t seen before,” Mrs Bennett added. All up, the completed mural project with timeline has cost approximately $10,000. This doesn’t include the hundreds of hours of research for the
timeline on top of the actual painting of the mural. The project was made possible with funding from TAG, Trangie Lions Club, the Cambridge Park Lions, and the Australian Lions Foundation celebrating a centenary of activities. Now that the project has been completed, the committee said that TAG will turn its attention to other local projects including beautifying the Big Billy down at the Goan Waterhole. “It needs a lot of attention down there and the Billy needs a coat of paint,” Mrs Bennett said. Well done to everyone involved. Make sure you stop by and take a look next time you’re in Trangie.

Toe-tapping tale inspired by real life By SHARON BONTHUYS ILLAWARRA-BASED novelist Christine Sykes visited Narromine Library last weekend to talk about her latest published novel. The Tap Cats of the Sunshine Coast follows the journey of a group of talented dancers known as the Tap Cats, who are preparing for the Senior Superstar Competition. As they face both the challenges of the competition and personal trials, their path takes them all the way to New York and a beautiful Greek island. Along the way, they discover that even the closest of friends can harbor secrets. The core of the story involves tap dancing, and this part of the story was inspired by Ms Sykes’ much loved and very stylish Auntie Peg, who took up tap dancing in retirement. “Auntie Peg was one of my role models. She always encouraged me to do well,” said Ms Sykes. Importantly, Auntie Peg got to read a draft of the novel before she passed away. Like her auntie, Ms Sykes also took up tap dancing in retirement as well as writing. “Tap dancing is being used for health, therapy and to exercise the brain. It’s very good for mental health,” said Ms Sykes, whose own tap teacher is now 82 and performed at the
Tap Cats’ book launch in 2022. Ms Sykes’ two previous published works have won awards from the Society of Women Writers. Her memoir Gough and Me: My Journey from Cabramatta to China and Beyond won the non-fiction category in 2022, while her novel The Changing Room, based on her experiences with non-profit Dress For Success, won the fiction award in 2020. Ms Sykes’ diverse background includes stints as a community worker and senior public servant. She is an active member of several writing organisations and generously shares her knowledge through writing workshops and author talks like the one at Narromine on October 21. On writing, which she took up late in life, she told Narromine attendees: “Writing has given me a new purpose in life. Even though I thought I’d give up several times, I looked at my life without writing and there was no colour [in it].” Ms Sykes encourages older people to embrace new things and fi nd a new joy in life. “It’s never too late to follow your dreams and never too late to dance.” The Tap Cats of the Sunshine Coast is published by Ventura Press and will be available to borrow from the Narromine and Trangie Libraries in the near future.

By PAMELA FERRARI, COLLEEN EVANS, KATHLEEN BENNETT — TRANGIE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY TRANGIE Hospital Auxiliary has recently purchased a “Sensory Wizard” for the entertainment of residents at Kurrajong Court. Sensory Wizards are interactive projectors that provide sensory stimulation, support learning through fun, improve communication and motor skills, and reduce anxiety with a calming effect on users. Hospital auxiliary members, hospital staff, and community members gathered to view some of the hundreds of activities the sensory wizard can create. Narromine Shire Mayor, Craig Davies, also praised the wonderful facility and said how appreciative the community is of the ongoing efforts of the Auxiliary.
Lyn Harris (Health Service Manager) with Auxiliary members Pat Ferrari, Kathleen Bennett (Secretary), Colleen Evans (Treasurer), Rhonda Richardson, Jill Flinn, Lyn Ferrari and Pam Ferrari (President).
Residents can do many things with the new “Sensory Wizard”. The Mayor was also deeply interested in hearing The Auxiliary’s vision for the future of Kurrajong Court. Health Service Manager, Lyn Harris, also thanked the Trangie Hospital Auxiliary and Wode Family for the sensory wizard, and spoke of its many benefits for the well-being and enjoyment of the residents. We are still very happily sharing Lyn’s valuable time with the Warren Hospital. A resident of Kurrajong Court, Les McKinnon, made a magnificent speech about the early beginnings of the Kurrajong Court facility. He thanked all those involved in the facility’s formative years for their tireless efforts and vision. Mr McKinnon, who turned 101 in June, especially thanked activities officer, Roslyn Hayden, for her leadership, efficiency

and ongoing efforts to assist the residents. Delicious refreshments were served in the spacious lounge area where we were all able to mingle and chat with the residents and staff. Our thanks go to Ms Hayden and the staff for a delightful morning spent with the residents viewing some of the many programs the sensory wizard offers. We look forward to further demonstrations and would like to thank Mrs Coral Herbert and Mr Donald Rich, who did the demonstrations for us on the day. The Trangie Hospital Auxiliary meets again in early December and Orana Far West representative Robyn Jones is hoping to attend. For more details, please contact our secretary Kathleen Bennett.

Labor Government has passed water amendments I FIND it appalling that the Labor government has seen fit to strip the protective mechanisms out of the Murray Darling Basin Plan. The revisions to this plan passed the lower house this week, and I could not support them in spite of being in support of the original plan, which provided economic and social safeguards around the additional 450 gigalitres concerned.

I will not take this lying down - the people of the northern basin have got just as much right to exist and are the most efficient users of water there are. The disgraceful lack of consultation is partly to blame for this decision, and I’ve called on the government to come out and visit affected communities to hear what really happens when buy backs are allowed to occur.

By ANDREW TARRY THE member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders recently toured a solar farm near Dubbo with the minister for energy and climate change Penny Sharpe. Mr Saunders raised concerns with Ms Sharpe over the importance of a legacy fund to “stimulate all parts” of the communities within the Central West REZ to contin-

ue investment beyond the initial funding for construction of the solar and wind generation. After speaking with Ms Sharpe, Mr Saunders has welcomed the government’s injection of $128 million. Despite the funding Mr Saunders has said that there are still concerns within the community about the process of developing the Renewable Energy Zone. Mr Saunders has called for more consulta-
tion with community members and property owners to look at the cumulative effects of wind, solar, and transmission lines. “What we want to see is opportunities for meaningful employment and economic development, but we need to do it in a way that the community is brought along for every step of that journey,” said Mr Saunders.

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Camera Club has taken out the interclub category of the inaugural Biannual Digital Western Districts Association of Camera Clubs’ (WDACC) photography competition for 2023. Over 500 entries were received in the digital photographic competition, said Col Boyd from Cudgegong Camera Club, which hosted this year’s event. The Western Districts area consists of member clubs from Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Mudgee, Parkes, Young, Goulburn, Grenfell, Harden, Murrumburrah, Hay and Narromine. The district hosts an interclub competition in August/ September each year where both club and individual entries are judged and showcased. With a score of 52, Narromine claimed fi rst place in the interclub competition from the camera clubs at Young, on 49 points, and Cudgegong on 48 points. Alan Hitchell, an international judge and former president of the Federation of Camera Clubs, judged the competition. “Within this section all clubs

have some excellent images and it is most enjoyable to view the high standard. The secret to winning is to maintain a level of quality across all ten images. This is evident in the winners,” Mr Hitchell wrote in his judging comments. Members of the Narromine Camera Club whose work was submitted in the interclub category include Ken Skinner (2), Chris Skinner (2), Wayne Coleman (2), Claire Jenkins, John Mutton, Wendy Coleman and Maddy Preston. Ken Skinner also placed in three ‘salons’ in the individual competition, taking out first in Sport Action, third in Still Life, and highly commended in Open Subject Mono. “Originally the interclub was only for slides, but with the advent of digital media, the competition moved to digital only. The club predominantly enters into the interclub, with some members entering the individual competition as well,” said Wayne Coleman from Narromine Camera Club. “Narromine has entered this [wider annual] competition for over 30 years.” Mr Coleman explained how the competition works at club level.

“The interclub is open to all fi nancial clubs in the Western District of NSW and each club can only enter a maximum of 10 entries per club, and a maximum of three entries per club member. “Each photographer shows up to five photos each at a club meeting, and the club votes on the top 10 to be entered into the competition,” Mr Coleman said. “The competition is getting stronger and stronger each year, with many entrants using post-processing to enhance and change their photos. Our club encourages minimal change to the photos, preferring to use traditional in-camera approaches to photography. “We encourage photographers to use the basic rules and techniques of composition, technique and knowing your camera to capture the best image,” He said. Taking out the interclub category of the WDACC is a fantastic acknowledgement to the club, which has also participated in competitions staged by the Narromine Show and Trangie Truck and Tractor Show this year.

YOU know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all? All the prophets testify about him, revealing that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. (Acts 10:36–43). Sitting on the sidelines while others are having fun, isn’t very nice. Did you know God never excludes anyone? When Peter ministered to Cornelius, he showed that God does not play favourites. Instead, Jesus invites everyone into His kingdom. The Gospel is available to anyone, anywhere. There are no borders, no races and no social classes with Jesus. He doesn’t pick an “A-Team” then put the rest of us on the “B-Team”. He doesn’t size everybody up, and only pick the strongest, the smartest, the best looking and the best learners. He says: “I’ve got a heavenly family. Would you like to join it? I want to have you”. Why does He do this? Because Jesus is Lord of all. He is the Lord of everyone and everything. He is the “Alpha and Omega”, the beginning and the end. He made and knows every person and every heart. Jesus Christ invites you to join his kingdom. No one has to sit on the sidelines. Do you want to have a servant’s heart? to help people this very day! “Set apart for me, Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for the work to which I have called them”. So, after they had fastened and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them out. No matter who you are or what you do, the Lord has a mission for you. Paul’s mission was to help people overseas. Your mission might well be different. But your mission will be just as important, even if you only have to cross your street to do it. Jesus wants you to make his amazing name known all around the world. He wants you to show His love to all the world. Perhaps your mission is to help someone in your town or neighbourhood. Or to befriend someone who is lonely, sick or unhappy. Each mission is of the same importance to God. No matter what your mission is, remember that God chose YOU for it. Just like Paul and Barnabas, you have been set apart to make a big difference in a hurting world. And don’t ever forget, you won’t be accomplishing this mission alone. Jesus is the ONE guiding your mission and making sure you can take every step in His great LOVE. PRAYER: “Lord, it’s not easy to treat everyone with the same love and respect that You do. Please will you help me to see others as You do. Lord, I want to have a servant’s heart. Show me the way to people I can help in your name. Amen.” By THE REVEREND BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE, ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF BATHURST

Get ahead of the big dry with free LLS water feed test kits GETTING ahead of expected dry conditions is a key factor in farmers surviving the onset of drought. To assist in this, free stock water and feed testing for Central West livestock producers is now being offered by the Central West Local Land Services (LLS) Board Chair, Susan Madden has revealed. “Given the forecast for a dry summer, it is critical farmers assess their current situation and ensure their property is drought-ready” Ms Madden said. “Through this free testing program, livestock producers can test their available feed and supplementary feedstuffs including pasture, hay, silage, grain or concentrates and make sure they’re able to meet the nutritional needs of their livestock,” she added. Testing stock water, she explained, will enable producers to prepare for water quality and quantity considerations over the coming months. Livestock producers can receive the two free feed test kits and two free stock water test kits per PIC (“Property Identi-
fication Code”) from any Central West LLS office. LLS staff are also available to offer hands-on support with current localised information and advice on preparing for drought. Ms Madden said that it’s important producers adopt sound management and financial plans, review these regularly, make fi rm decisions, act early and quickly in order to put themselves in the best position to manage drought. “Using available support tools to plan ahead will help set primary producers up to better manage when things get tough. “Central West staff will be running training and advisory events for producers in the coming months, covering things like containment feeding areas, livestock assessment, and PROGRAZE courses. LLS also encourages Central West farmers to get in touch with their team and sign up to their monthly newsletter so as to stay up-to-date with upcoming opportunities. Landholders can also visit their website.

Feral pigs in the crosshairs By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW government has stepped up to the table for more serious pest control with the creation of the state’s fi rst feral pig coordinator. Farmers and residents of regional and rural areas have long known the harm and damage caused by feral pigs is increasing in severity. This year, Local Land Services (LLS) reported that feral pigs cause at least $100 million damage per year to Australia’s agricultural industry. Feral pigs are a terrible infestation on the land and have become worse with consecutive years of favourable breeding conditions across NSW the last few years. The impacts on agricultural production and environment assets are exacerbated with the
increase in population. “Feral pigs are destructive animals that have huge impacts to farming operations, our economy and our biodiversity,” said minister for agriculture Tara Moriarty. “A strong focus of the program is supporting landholders through practical training to help control feral pigs on their properties and subsided feral pig bait. Tackling a rising feral pig population requires government and farmers to work side by side, and this program will do exactly that,” she said. NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin welcomed the funding but warned there is much more to be done. “Feral pigs are incredibly destructive animals, they destroy crops, tear out fences and ruin paddocks, kill live-
stock and native animals, and pose a threat to people – they’re a menace and they need to be brought under control,” he said. “While LLS has culled more than 97,000 feral pigs, we know from our members that there are millions more out there, and until we get on top of that breeding population, we will continue to have problems. As landholders we stand ready to work with the government and LLS (Local Land Services) to tackle this problem,” said Mr Martin. The new feral pig coordinator, Bec Gray, an experienced industry leader who has worked with landholders to manage feral pigs and other pest animals for the past 12 years, will drive the program. The target is to cull at least 87,000 feral pigs across NSW.
Calls for regional crime inquiry By ANDREW TARRY IT is not too often the Country Mayors Association, Police Association, and NSW Farmers join together for a public show of collaboration and unity. However, this collaboration has recently occurred with the organisations having agreed to join forces to call for a parliamentary inquiry into crime, law-and-order in rural and regional NSW. The organisations are asking the government to take the rise in crime seriously as a recent assessment of crime statistics by the Country Mayors Association (CMA) provided a shocking and unsettling view of law and order in regional NSW. “We knew crime was increasing, but we looked to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) data to clarify the situation. We were shocked to learn that as well as the alarming incident counts in regional NSW, the rate of incidents per 100,000 people was, in some cases, horrifying when compared to metropolitan fi gures. Up to 90 per cent of crimes including vehicle theft, breaking and entering, sexual assault and domestic assault are happening here, in our regional communities,” said CMA president Jamie Chaffey. According to the CMA, an annual survey conducted by the association revealed that crime and law and order is now in the top five emerging issues for NSW local governments. The president for CMA has argued that a report produced by the CMA and endorsed by the Police Association of NSW (PANSW) and NSW Farmers “paints a very clear picture” of a lawand-order crisis in regional communities. PANSW president, Kevin Morton said the association supports the call from the CMA for an inquiry. “The report
shows that additional police resources are needed to manage crime rates and ensure communities could be effectively serviced,” said Mr Morton. NSW has less police per head of population than Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia. With only one police officer per 467 NSW residents. “Our regional police officers are expected to be the 24/7 problem solvers. Police in these regional and remote locations are required to attend emergency situations that cover huge geographical areas with limited staff and resources with little to no back up. When they do call for assistance, it can be an hour away or more,” said Mr Morton. The PANSW president cited that outdated rostering models, such as rostering police officers based on one car per job per hour, minimum staffing levels in regional and rural areas, and police officers required to pick up the workload of other government departments needed to be scrutinised. The NSW Farmers are also voicing their concerns. CEO Annabel Johnson said that although the organisation’s primary concern was for crimes against farming businesses, the report revealed an opportunity to do more to protect everyone in rural areas. “This report is concerning, and we would absolutely support a proper review of where police resources are allocated to protect every community and business regardless of where they are in the state. A 2020 survey of farmers found that 81 per cent reported being a victim of farm crime – theft of livestock and equipment, trespass, break and enter, and illegal hunting, and this is a significant risk to safety,” Ms Johnson said. The joint effort has not been submitted to the government with three organisations stressing the need to take the fi ndings of the report seriously.
The program will also: f Boost regional control programs, including 46 of the highly effective aerial shooting campaigns, and further support existing landholder driven programs. f Equip farmers with 99 capacity building events to inform them on the latest tools and advice needed to actively manage pest animals. f Fully subsidise the cost of treating grain to bait feral pigs for farmers participating in the ‘Feral Fighters’ program. “We are here to provide support to farmers and to help coordinate large-scale feral pig control programs. Land managers need to play their role and participate in these programs. “I have seen fi rsthand the damage feral pigs cause to agricultural production and the
environment, and I am pleased to see a dedicated feral pig program to assist landowners to manage this issue.
“One of the focuses of this program is capacity-building, to ensure landholders can continue to manage feral pigs on their property into the future to protect their farming operations,” said Ms Gray.
The new coordinator is encouraging farmers and land managers to contact their nearest LLS biosecurity officer and coordinate efforts with their neighbours.
With a lot of work still ahead to curb feral pig population growth and impact, a coordinated effort is becoming necessary to manage a very serious problem.
Review of funding for private schools on state government agenda By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW Labor government is set to review the laws governing non-government schools and the use of public funds the schools are granted. The review was one of Labor’s election commitments. Investigations of non-government schools for misusing funds have occurred within the last few years with public exposure of the investigations becoming more intense and frequent. NSW provides $1.5 billion annually to non-government schools. The funding is provided by the Education Act 1990 and despite being independent the schools must be registered with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to receive the funding. The schools must also adhere to a not-for-profit policy which describes the appropriate operating model and fi nancial requirements for the school. Some of the conditions within in the policy address the use of
school income and assets. These are not to be used for a purpose other than the operation of the school. The policy demands that payments of any kind, including to relating parties, are to be at a reasonable market value and required for the running of the school. As recent as late 2022 The Kings School in Sydney, the oldest private school in the state, was investigated and found non-compliant with the education act by the government for approving plans to install a plunge scho-ol in the headmaster’s onsite residence and allowing payments for the headmaster and his wife to fly business class to England. The state education minister, Prue Car, has said that five non-government schools have been found to be operating for-profit over the past 10 years and some have been forced to pay the money back or stop receiving public funds. The investigations are costly processes for the government and the schools. To
ensure that there is more clarity around the policy requirements and expectations for non-government schools the government have appointed Tom Alegounarias, a leading educational advisor, to conduct a review of the section of the education act which requires non-government schools receiving taxpayer funds to operate as notfor-profit. Mr Alegounarias will consult with the non-government schools’ sector on the laws and any challenges they face with compliance requirements. The government has released a statement concerning the review where the deputy premier and minister Car said “this review will help provide greater clarity for both schools and the community when it comes to the use of taxpayer funds. The review will build public confidence that non-government school funds are being used appropriately for the education of students.”

Jets and Tradies to fire up the barbie for mental health By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Jets have once again reaffirmed their growing reputation as a club that cares by co-hosting a free community breakfast in Narromine this weekend in support of mental health awareness. The NSW Rugby League’s Community Club of the Year 2022 will join Dubbo-based non-profit mental health advocacy group Tradies in Sight to host the Narromine Cares Community Breakfast in Dundas Park on Saturday. Jets’ spokesperson and local Citizen of the Year, Sally Everett, said the connection between the two organisations is very strong, as is their shared commitment to mental health awareness. Tradies in Sight visited several central west communities on the Real Reconnections tour last year, funded by a grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal. They were also one of the beneficiaries of fundraising at the Jets’ annual charity day in 2022. “Mental health awareness is something the Jets have always felt very strongly about and we like what [Tradies in Sight] do and how they oper-

With October being Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to host a community awareness event like the Narromine Cares Community Breakfast. The free Narromine breakfast is an extension of the outreach that Tradies in Sight have undertaken in Dubbo in recent years seeking to nor-
malise conversation and reduce stigma around mental health. Their most recent outreach event, a Dubbo Cares Community Day, was held on October 25. “[Bruno and Jo Efoti] asked if we would like to help them facilitate a similar event for Narromine and we said ‘absolutely!’” Mrs Everett said. There will be no formal
speeches at the Narromine event. In keeping with what the organisers aim to achieve, it is hoped that attendees will get some breakfast and talk informally with others. Importantly, the event aims to show the community that it’s okay not to be okay, and to ask for help if needed. “You can come along, have a conversation, get some brek-
ky. We’ll have a coffee cart there as well and some people might just want to come along and have a cuppa. It’s however [those attending] want to make it,” she said. “There will be a lot of great resources there as well.” The role of mental health support inside and away from sport is something very close to the Narromine Jets’ collective heart, making it an easy decision to partner with Tradies in Sight for this event. “A lot of people have said to us ‘the football season’s over.’ This reinforces that [Narromine Jets are] more than just a football club. We really are committed to the community. “If we can have one conversation and help somebody, we’re happy,” Mrs Everett said. For further details about the event, see the Narromine Jets’ page or the Narromine Cares public group on social media.

122 shire children embark on epic reading program By GABBY TEALE-MCEVOY LIBBY Healey-Smith was so committed to completing the Macquarie Regional Library’s “1,000 Books Before School” program before she turned six, she did something amazing. With the help of her mum Jane and grandparents Daryl and Teresa, she read a marathon 10 books the night before her birthday, fi nishing her 1,000th book in the nick of time. Over 100 local children are now registered for the 1,000 Books Before School

Rotary cooking up a storm. By SHARON BONTHUYS A FINE spring day greeted punters, patrons and the racing fraternity at the Narromine racecourse on October 21 for the Qube Agri Dandy Cup. A light breeze kept the brunt of the warm day at bay for the six-race program, which fielded some fine racing on a good track. Those off the field enjoyed live music, great food by a variety of providers, and children’s entertainment. Darryl McLellan rode the Stephen Jones-trained Nicator to victory in the 1600-metre main event, the Qube Agri Dandy Cup, winning from the Brett Thompson trained Winter Moon ridden by Matthew Cahill, and the Clint Lundholm-trained Zounile ridden by Jake Pracey-Holmes.
Fashions on the Field was contested by a small group this year, with awards going to Jess Skinner of Birraway and runner-up Abby Baker of Coonabarabran (Best Dressed), Debra and Doug Hodges of Dubbo and runner-up Trish Wendland of Dubbo with grandkids Clare and Rhylee Palmer (Best Dressed Couple), and Michelle Meyers of Mudgee and Doug Hodges (Best Suited). Junior awards went to Clare Palmer, 6, and George Hutton, 5. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the event also donated a portion of gate proceeds to the Pink Angels support group. Community groups including Narromine Rotary and Lions and the 25 Club also benefited by supporting the day in different capacities.

By KALE BOCK THERE were 24 starters at the Trangie Golf Junior Gala Day last weekend. What a great day out at the Trangie Golf Course for the golfers of the future.

ber 15, and Narromine hosts its Junior Gala Day this weekend. There are three age divisions in this competition - U8’s (three shortened holes), U11’s (five shortened holes) and U14’s (five normal holes).

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES CONSISTENT galloper Nicator in a thrilling fi nish won the Dandy Cup before a big crowd on Saturday, October 21, at the very well promoted Narromine meeting. Trained at Scone by Stephen Jones, the six-year-old Nicator took the record to four wins and 10 placings from 33 starts.
Dandy Cup, Narromine - raced Saturday, October 21 Veteran jockey Darryl ‘Digger’ McLellan has been riding in great form and from a wide gate he quickly worked Nicator into a good position running fourth behind Zounile, Bonhomie and Cemented in the Benchmark 50 race over 1600 metres. Reaching the lead in the straight, Nicator ($6.50 to $10) lasted to win by a short half head from the fast fi nishing Winter Moon (Mathew Cahill, $9) with a half length to the third placed Zounile (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.20). Local trainer Wayne Colli-
son won the CAD Contracting Benchmark 50 Handicap with Luckyimwithaimee ridden by Mathew Cahill who has made a successful return after a lengthy time off with serious injuries from a race fall. From the outside barrier in the 12 horse field, Cahill found the early lead on Luckyimwithaimee ($9) which held on to score in a three way photo fi nish from Witness Collector (Andrew Banks, $6 to $4 favourite) and Flying Foxy (Shayleigh Ingelse, $10). Formerly from Coonamble and now a leading trainer

at Wyong, Damien Lane won the Narromine Shire Council Maiden Plate (1100 metres) with Alegna. In front most of the way, Alegna (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $6) had two lengths to spare at the fi nish from Harry Tudor ($3.10 fav.) and Violet And Blue (Mathew Cahill, $91). Dubbo-based trainer Brett Robb and jockey Clayton Gallagher are a lethal force and they combined with Mr Invincible $4.60) which came from midfield to win the Narromine USMC Class One Handicap from Really Moti-
vated (Mikayla Weir, $7.50) and Chelsea Amanda (Darryl McLellan, $7.50).
Coming from off the pace, the Jeremy Sylvester, Cessnock trained Cavalheiro ( Kelsey Lenton, $11) won the 1300 metres Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Maiden Plate while the Melissa Dennett, Tamworth trained Takanakuy (Mikayla Weir, $7.50) also ran home strongly from back in the field to win the 800 metres Aqua West Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Vicky Tuck wins Get nominations in now to not miss out on Triples’ Sadie Cooper Tournament Memorial Trophy By RICK BOHM
By DALE HARDING LADY golfers last Wednesday played a Stableford event for the Sadie Cooper Memorial Trophy. Sadie was famously the fi rst lady in Narromine to get a hole-in-one with Sadie‘s daughter, Janet, and her grand daughter, Leanne, coming from Leeton and sharing lunch with us on the day. A total of 17 Ladies played the event, with the winner, Vicky Tuck, scoring 24 points. Marj Kelly was the winner of the B-Grade
final with 20 points and golf balls also went to Wendy Jeffrey and Jenny Fitzgerald on 21 points, Anne Harmer on 20 points and Mandy Dunbar on 19 points. Nearest-the-pins were won by Linda Hutchison and Bev Woods with the Drawn Card won by Carol McCalman. This was our last game of the Ladies Golfi ng Season, with the 2024 season starting in March. For those after a game, enjoy the Business House golf and Gerries competition.
TH E Triples Tournament is only a few weeks away and we have 2 0 teams nominated for this event. So, doing the maths, we have a maximum of eight spots left, unless the greenkeeper and bowls committee decide that 24 is a better number, then we only have four spots left. If you want to enter, I wouldn’t muck around, nominate today. I am tipping there will be less spots available soon, as I am getting on the “Dog and Bone” (telephone) today to try
and round up a couple of missing regulars. Social Bowls this week saw a smaller than the norm number go round both days, but that didn’t stop those playing from enjoying the outing. On Thursday Neil Harris, Adam Morrissey and Danny Carnevale swept all before them to claim all the marbles on offer whilst on Sunday the “top dogs” were Richard Hyde and Mick Edwards. The Club A-Grade Pairs Nominations are also still open with new dates for this event to be advised shortly. Suffice to say, the Match Committee won’t be
running this prestigious event with just the three-and-a-half teams nominated to date and with the Zone calendar full until Christmas, the most likely starting date is not until February, 2024. Just a reminder also that the nominations for the Zone Singles close shortly and with Narromine hosting the senior event, we should have quite a few Narromine youngsters line up and have a go. Well, that’s it for me for another week. Hope to catch up with you down at the “Bowly” sometime this week.
Dragon boat regatta at Mudgee DRAGON boats from around NSW and the ACT will attend the 13th Annual Western Region Regatta this weekend at Cudgegong Waters Park, Windamere Dam, Mudgee. Mudgee Mud Dragons have been working tirelessly with the 10 other Western Region clubs – Dubbo, Forbes, Parkes, Bathurst, Lithgow, Orange, Blue Mountains, Wagga Wagga and Narrabri – to prepare for the Regatta, said regatta event coordinator Sue Hughes. Regatta publicity officer Melissa Setterfield said dragon boating is a fun sport and a great team-building exercise. “You must paddle as a team together and in time. It doesn’t matter your size or level of fitness, anyone over 12 years of age can give it a go. “There are dragon boat clubs all over NSW that are more than happy to show you the technique and your fi rst five paddles are free.” A highlight of the day will be the Mudgee Anniversary Challenge and the DA Challenger for cancer survivors and supporters. For further information, see the Western Region Regatta website.
All aboard the dragon boat! PHOTO: SUPPLIED.
