Stars of Trangie shine on stage

By SHARON BONTHUYS SHE wanted to deliver for Trangie and Claire Jenkins did exactly that at the Stars of Dubbo charity dance gala on March 25.

Accompanied by Trangie’s own Dance Experience troupe aged between eight and 12, the fi rst time dancer rocked the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre before 400 people.

In an energetic performance that included a wheelie walker, lightning fast costume changes and cameos by her husband in two roles, Ms Jenkins and the team wowed the crowd.

In the process she walked away with a prize in every section of the competition – the only competitor to do so.

Ms Jenkins was awarded equal fi rst place for the “Star’s Star” category, shared with Mary Nushaj (Orana Dance Centre).

Raising an astounding $24,254, Ms Jenkins was the second highest fundraiser behind popular “Blues Brothers” Warren duo Tim Whiteley

and Brad McRae, who raised $28,946.

Ms Jenkins and her team also placed third in the Judge’s Choice award.

“I am humbled by the support I have received and absolutely thrilled with the outcome of the fundraising and the event,” Ms Jenkins told the Narromine Star.

The annual event which raises funds for the Cancer Council bypassed its fundraising goal of $100,000 on the night, raising a staggering $154,596 for cancer prevention, awareness, and patient support.

After 10 weeks of training with local dance schools, nine local identities including Ms Jenkins debuted their eagerly awaited dance routines at the event.

Trangie local and radio host Pippa Moore emceed the night, keeping spirits high with her witty banter throughout the show.

Ms Jenkins thanked everyone who helped her prepare for the event and donated to the cause.

Nurses announce strike action in Trangie today

By SHARON BONTHUYS NURSES at Trangie hospital announced they will walk off the job once again today (Thursday, March 31) as part of planned statewide industrial action.

Nurses and midwives across NSW will strike for up to 24 hours after the NSW government failed to address the ongoing staffing crisis inside public

hospitals.

The sector last undertook strike action on February 15 and the government has not committed to further talks on workplace improvements since then.

A majority of NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) public sector branches this week voted in favour of a second state-wide strike, a spokesperson said.

Scams and rip-offs on the increase

By SHARON BONTHUYS SCAMS are increasing and so are the sophisticated methods used to part unwitting people from their money and or personal information.

This was the message from Hannah Higgins from Western Women’s Legal Support and Larissa Connelly from Western NSW Community Legal Centre when they visited Narromine Library on March 24 to talk about scams and rip-offs.

Already this year, between January 1 and February 28, $72.2 million was lost to scams and rip-offs according to the Scamwatch website.

A whopping $323.7 million was lost during 2021, the year particularly impacted by COVID lockdowns in various parts of Australia. This was almost double what was lost to scammers in 2020 ($175.6 million).

A scam is defi ned as a deceptive practice used to trick people out of something, usually mon-

ey or personal information. The types of scams commonly circulating include: f false billing scams (adding extra charges to your account, advertising in non-existent directories etc) f identity theft (‘phishing’ for information, fake surveys, or official looking emails from what looks like a real business designed to steal your identity information and access to accounts) Continued page 9

THE central west’s own biennial bicycle charity ride, the Toyota Tour de OROC, stopped in Narromine last Saturday on the fi nal leg of its epic 1100-kilometre journey.

Staged every two years by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South, the Orana Region Outback Challenge (OROC) raises funds for Macquarie Homestay in Dubbo.

This facility houses rural and remote patients travelling from central and far west NSW communities in Orana region to Dubbo for medical treatment.

The tour has raised about half a million dollars since it started in 2013, averaging $100,000 per tour.

Kicking off in Mudgee on March 21, the 25-rider tour travelled to Armatree, Walgett, Bourke, Cobar and Warren before returning to Dubbo via Narromine on March 26.

Six riders fell in a serious crash that occurred between Walgett and Brewarrina on March 23.

Injuries included a broken collarbone, a fracture and a concussion resulted in three riders being unable to continue, a tour spokesperson told the Narromine Star. The injured were treated by medical staff travelling with the tour.

Mayor Craig Davies joined the main peloton for the last six kilometres to Narromine to show support for a worthy cause that benefits locals.

“People in Narromine may have to stay at Macquarie Homestay one day,” he said, welcoming the tour to town.

The OROCers stopped for lunch at Tom Perry Park and posed for a group photo at the Glenn McGrath statue.

“Thank you for all that you’re doing. It’s great to have you [here] and I wish you a safe trip back to Dubbo,” Cr Davies said.

The tour relies heavily on volunteer support staff who travel 30 kilometres ahead of the main peloton to set up refreshment stations for breaks and lunches. Some volunteers join for short stints between communities while others stay for the entire tour.

Volunteer Ashley Wielinga, a former general manager of Warren Shire Council, was one of six support staff travelling for the entire tour. He said the riders had used 65 bags of ice and 625 litres of water so far.

Mayor of Dubbo Regional Council, Cr Mathew Dickerson, is the Chair of the tour’s organising committee and has participated in every tour since it started.

“I thought a great way to raise money would be to show just how big an area was covered by the people coming to stay at Macquarie Homestay,” he said.

This year’s event featured the largest number of riders ever to participate in the tour, Cr Dickerson said.

“Believe it or not, it’s actually hard to convince

Riders Dennis Sheridan and Simon Friend. people to ride 1100 kilometres in six days. Getting enough people to do the ride is always a challenge.”

Riders pay $600 to participate in the tour and must raise at least $1500 each.

First time OROCer Kate Spicer from Coonabarabran said the majority of her fundraising came from the virtual Zwift and Strava cycling communities she was involved with.

“Most of my donations have come from Scotland and the UK,” she said.

Participating in his fourth tour, Dennis Sheridan from Dubbo said the cause was starting to resonate with communities out west.

“Every community we visited has had people who have used the service.

“I met a family living 300 kilometres west of Bourke who have used Macquarie Homestay while awaiting the birth of two of their four children. It didn’t exist for the fi rst two,” he

said.

Mr Sheridan said the facility was of vital importance. “This is Dubbo doing something for the communities that surround it.” He believes that as Macquarie Homestay has expanded, so has the awareness of it within Dubbo.

Simon Friend, who was a paramedic in Narromine for 17 years, became involved with the tour through transporting rural and remote patients to Dubbo Base Hospital.

“I wasn’t aware just how far some of these patients were travelling, and the variety of patients using the facility.”

With a strong westerly wind battering the group on the fi nal day of the tour, Mr Sheridan said the last leg to Dubbo was likely to be the most difficult for the riders. “It’s going to be tough.”

Well done to all involved.

Demand for more women to work in Aussie mines

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.

Narromine United Services Memorial Club Ltd

By STEPH ALLEN AS MINING employment continues to surge across the state, more women than ever before are joining the industry to provide sought after skills for in demand employment.

Record high levels of women in the mines has seen a rise from 19 per cent in November 2021 to 21 per cent in February 2022.

Tomingley Gold Operations HR manager Belinda Hollingworth said the Alkane-owned mining operation had been trying to tap into a more gender diverse employment pool, but had been struggling to attract applications from women for its underground operations.

“We’re just not getting as many applications as we would like. In saying that, we’ve tripled our numbers of underground mining.

Most of our mining is underground at

Tomingley Gold Operations HR manager Belinda Hollingworth says the mining industry has been trying to tap into a more gender diverse employment pool. PHOTO: STEVE COWLEY the moment but we do expect that when we extend our opencut, which will happen in 18 months, we will employ more women,” she said.

“There are not as many women who want to work underground.”

While there is no definitive reason as to why women are more attracted to open-cut positions than underground, issues such as gender discrimination have become less prevalent and miners are able to go above ground to access amenities.

“It’s a passion of mine to increase the female participation in our workforce,” Ms Hollingworth said.

“We will absolutely be targeting female operators with the trucks because they’re very good operators... they’re less gun-ho and generally have good spatial awareness and seem

to have less incidents of hitting walls and that sort of thing.

“Women bring a different perspective. They might be able to look at a job from a different point of view. Sometimes they’re more analytical and can find another way to do a job because sometimes they don’t have as much physical strength.

“At the moment we are doing up (and expanding) all of our female bathrooms in the expectation of getting more women.”

Minerals Council of Australia CEO Tania Constable said the combination of strong demand and need for advanced skills has seen direct employment in Australian mines reach a record high of over 274,000 – up 25,000 in the past 12 months.

“Mining has helped sustain the economy and the budget throughout

the pandemic and continues to prepare for the demands of the future world – high tech and lower emissions.

The strong labour market has resulted in labour and skills shortages,” she said.

“To sustain the economic recovery, the MCA calls on the government to increase investment in skills and training.

“Mining has supported more than 5000 new apprenticeships in the last 12 months.

“The Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements program has been instrumental to increasing apprenticeships in the mining supply chain.”

Ms Constable said she was hoping this week’s Federal Budget would support the continuation of the program “to support even more apprenticeships”.

Building resilient landscapes at Trangie

By SHARON BONTHUYS

DID you know that one small teaspoon of soil contains about three billion microbes? Or that termites build underground networks that help oxygen and water to enter the soil?

These were two of many facts revealed at an informative program at Trangie last Sunday focusing on building resilient landscapes.

More than 30 people attended the event at the Trangie showgrounds which was part of the Farm Business Resilience Program.

Neroli Brennan from NSW Local Land Services (LLS) opened the day with a talk about soil forming factors and explained the relationship between soil, plants and root systems. She encouraged members to understand the topography of their land and what can grow well in that environment.

Ms Brennan indicated that people can purchase soil and water testing kits and send samples to the NSW Department of Primary Industries for examination. The kits cost about $80 and are available from LLS offices in Nyngan, Gilgandra or Dubbo.

“When they get their results back I’m happy to talk them through what it all means,” Ms Brennan told the Narromine Star.

Bek Shephard from LLS spoke about introducing bush foods into her own backyard in Narromine. “Most [bush foods] are resistant to pests.

It’s incredible to think that Aboriginal people have lived off this food for thousands of years.

“A lot of foods like the Warrigal Greens are very high in Vi-

tamin C and folate. The amazing thing about them is they like high salinity soils and are fantastic to grow in places where not much else grows.

They absorb salt which snails and other insects don’t like,” Ms Shephard explained.

She also spoke about the use of lemon myrtle, aniseed myrtle, saltbush, bush tomatoes, pepperberry, wattle seed, pigweed, and other bush foods used in cooking.

“A lot of wattles are edible.

One of the best is the mulga which is fairly common out here and produces a lot of seeds,” she said.

Sarah Curry from Majors Mulch spoke about designing a drought proof garden and making practical spaces around the home that can be easily maintained.

Left to right: Neroli Brennan explains typography of the land to those gathered; Sarah Curry talks about designing entrances to properties; Bek Shephard discusses bush foods.

“Getting the scale right is important. The correct scale for a country garden is the size of the house and then that size once again around it in lawn.

[Otherwise] you can’t see and appreciate the home for what it is,” Ms Curry said.

A resilient garden has drought and frost hardiness

but also functionality, said Ms Curry. “Functional as in what you can manage [to maintain] as well.”

Ms Curry spoke about effective designs to line entrance ways to properties using techniques like underplanting and having a few key elements like grasses, paths and trees.

Three trapped after crash

By SHARON BONTHUYS THREE people were trapped in a motor vehicle accident in Narromine on the evening of March 23. The accident occurred at the intersection of Dandaloo and Derribong Streets when two cars collided.

The impact caused one vehicle to roll onto its side, trapping the occupants.

Fire and Rescue NSW released the trapped passengers, who were then taken by ambulance to Dubbo Base Hospital.

The condition of the patients is unknown. Police are investigating.

Right: Three people were trapped in this vehicle when it rolled onto its side.

Attendees found the event very informative. Lesley Brennan said she was fascinated to hear about the bush foods, as was Pat Riley who said “I had no idea that pigweed was edible.”

A propagation workshop was held in the afternoon to round out the event.

Police beat: Weekly crime report From the Orana Mid-Western Police District MARCH 24, 2022: a 19-yearold male from Trangie was charged with two charges of stalk/intimidate, intend fear and physical harm (domestic) and contravene prohibition/restriction in AVO (domestic).

March 23, 2022: a break and enter to a dwelling in Poncaire Street, Trangie was reported.

March 22, 2022: a 21-year-old male from Narromine was charged with a bench non-conviction warrant and a conviction warrant, and a 25-year-old female from Narromine was charged with common assault (DV).

The police also reminded landowners about the importance of securing fuel tanks, livestock, stockyards, grain and seed bins which may be targeted by trespassers and to report instances of trespass and theft.

Stars of Trangie shine on Dubbo charity stage Funding From page 1 “Thank you so much friends, family and the Trangie community for all of the support that made this outcome possible.

“I would like to say how much I adored my dance troupe and I applaud their attitude.

“Huge thanks to [Dance Experience instructor] Kirby McCutcheon who listened to my plan and then put the dance moves together. She also came up with the idea of Pop having his cameo.” Ms McCutcheon also choreographed the Blues Brother-themed entry by the Warren duo who were crowd favourites at the event.

Cancer Council spokesperson Cassandra Sullivan commended the phenomenal fundraising effort of all the Stars.

“The Cancer Council would like to sincerely

thank the Dubbo, Warren and Trangie communities for coming together for the 2022 Stars of Dubbo dance gala.

“The money raised will go towards the continued operation of cancer support services that have a really big impact on our western communities. “[This includes] our Transport to Treatment service which helps cancer patients get to cancer treatment centres and affordable accommodation close to treatment.

“As you can imagine, these services can be a huge help to cancer patients living away from major cities.”

Ms Jenkins said “it really was a great deal of fun and more importantly, a great outcome for cancer support.”

Well done Claire and Dance Experience.

Rotary awards recognise emergency services workers

By SHARON BONTHUYS DO you want to thank a local emergency services worker for their service to the community? You have until the end of May to nominate them to receive a Rotary Clubs and Districts of NSW Emergency Services Community Award (NSW RESCA).

Recognising the dedication

and service of emergency service personnel and volunteers in NSW, the awards reflect the wider Rotary motto of “service above self.”

Dot Hennessy, spokesperson for the Rotary Districts of NSW told the Narromine Star the awards “have been established to recognise these unsung, selfless heroes, who give of their skills and time to make

a difference through their role.

“They are very humble and do not seek recognition – RESCA’s purpose is to formally say thank you,” she said.

The Awards are open to all Emergency Service Personnel stationed in NSW, serving in either a paid capacity or as a volunteer in Fire + Rescue, Marine Rescue, Surf Life Saving, Ambulance Service, Rural

Fire Service, State Emergency Service and Volunteer Rescue Association.

Personnel cannot nominate themselves for the awards but other community members can, said Ms Hennessy.

Finalists will be announced on June 22 at Parliament House and an awards ceremony will be held on August 13 in Bankstown.

available for regional events LOCAL event organisers are encouraged to apply for funding to make their events bigger and better, or to help bring major sporting, musical or cultural events to the region, as part of the $20 million Regional Events Acceleration Fund (REAF).

New Trangie police officer

By SHARON BONTHUYS

Constable Madeline Toubrady has joined the Trangie Police crew. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

A NEW police officer started at Trangie Police Station on March 14. Constable Madeline Tobrady is the Lock Up Keeper, a role she will hold for the next three years.

Constable Tobrady attested from the police academy in December 2018 and has since worked at the bustling Burwood Police area command. She undertook general duties for two years there then moved into plain clothes policing within that unit’s Proactive Crime Team.

In her three years of policing so far, Constable Toubrady has already notched up some memorable experiences.

“Through the COVID pandemic I was lucky enough to travel throughout the state helping with border closures and COVID compliance. I went to little towns in NSW that I don’t think I would have ever visited if it weren’t for being a cop,” she said.

The opportunity to meet so many different people within the police force has also been amazing, she said.

“Coming from a very busy command like Burwood was, you never knew what you were walking into when you started your shift.

“Whether it be taking over a crime scene role or station duties, to an urgent job coming over as soon as your shift starts, it was

always something very different.”

As a career path, policing offered Constable Toubrady the opportunity to work with vulnerable people and across different avenues of work experience.

“I decided to become a police officer because I wanted a career where every day was different, where it would really challenge me,”she said.

“I wanted the opportunity to be able to help people when they’re at their most vulnerable. I think I also liked the idea that there were so many different avenues of policing, and I have the opportunity to try out many different roles.”

Moving from Burwood to rural Trangie doesn’t mean that Constable Toubrady is any less busy.

She is used to a variety of work and is quickly settling into her new role and the community.

“I like the pressures that the job comes with as it constantly challenges me and is something I can learn from and improve on.”

Constable Toubrady would like the Trangie community to know that she is very easy going, always up for a chat and willing to learn new things.

“I’ve never lived in a country town before so I’m really keen on getting to know the community that I work with and live with, and hopefully make some mates along the way too.”

RFDS to receive $800 million over ten years THE federal government and the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) will commit to a record 10-year strategic partnership worth $800 million, said Minister for Regional Health, David Gillespie, last week.

This funding agreement builds on a previous commitment of $327 million in 2018-19 and is expected to start later this year.

Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, said this partnership will “enable the RFDS to undertake thousands of aeromedical evacuations, primary health clinics, dental outreach and multidisciplinary mental health outreach services to some of Australia’s most remote citizens.”

National gliding championships end on a high

By SHARON BONTHUYS SOME exciting flying has taken place in the skies above the Narromine shire and beyond over the last few weeks as the National Gliding Championships were staged in Narromine.

Some 23 competitors took to the skies from March 8 to 18, completing set tasks and accumulating points with each fl ight. Bad weather resulted in some fl ight time being lost but overall nine days of competition were completed.

It all came to an end on Friday, March 18, with the winners announced at a presentation dinner on at the Narromine Aero Club.

Jim Crowhurst from Kingaroy Soaring Club is the 2022 Australian Club Class champion, winning six of the nine competition days. This is the fourth time Mr Crowhurst has won this class in the national competition.

Matthew Scutter is the 2022 Australian Standard/15 Metre Class champion, winning four of the nine competition days in that class.

Awarded to the best junior pilot (aged under 25 years), the Maurie Bradney Trophy went to David Collins from Waikerie Gliding Club in South Australia.

Mr Collins was the only junior competing this year but placed second overall in the Club Class at the championship. He also received the Sir Donald Anderson Award

for the best pilot competing in their fi rst national gliding competition.

Accomplished pilot Jo Davis from Darling Downs Soaring Club received an award for being the top female pilot in the competition.

“Don’t ask me how I did it,” Ms Davis joked, being the only female competing this year. She encouraged competitors to promote gliding to women in their communities to increase the participation of women in the sport.

Competition director Jenny Thompson, also from Darling Downs Soaring Club, thanked the competitors, their crews, and the volunteers who made the event possible.

“The high standards of pilots here has been really amazing,” she said.

Ms Thompson also thanked Arnie and Beryl Hartley from Narromine Gliding Club for their stellar organisation of the competition. “We turn up and things happen, and I just don’t know how they do it.”

Ms Hartley thanked everyone for attending and said she hoped to see them all again at the pre-world championship event in Narromine in November 2022.

That event is a prelude to the world championships to be held in Narromine in 2023.

These National Gliding Championships helped determine who would be eligible to represent Australia at the world championships.

Scams, rip-offs on the increase From page 1 f malware (viruses that disrupt, lock or shut down your computer, phone or other devices) f remote access hacking (people breaking into your computer, online accounts and or social media sites electronically to steal information, money, or your identity, or calling to say your computer has a virus they need to fi x etc) f romance/dating scams (pretending to develop relationships to steal money) f investment scams (asking for money to invest in ‘opportunities’ that don’t exist) f threat and penalty scams (threats to harm you, arrest or bill you if you don’t comply) f unexpected money scams (inheritance, prizes, or getsomething-for-nothing notifications often will come from people claiming to be lawyers or representatives of organisations) f online shopping, classifieds and auction scams (fake retailer websites, false ‘for sale’ ads, and false auctions) f jobs and employment scams (offers to make money working from home or investing) f pet scams (selling animals that do not exist) f charity and medical scams (seeking donations or purchases of medicines/drugs, organising paid COVID vaccinations etc) f private house rental scams (taking bonds and rent from desperate house hunters for properties that don’t exist) According to the Scamwatch website, the biggest losses came from investment scams followed by romance/dating scams, false billing and threat and penalty scams.

Most scams are delivered electronically, Ms Higgins said, with the bulk coming via text messages to mobiles

Guest speakers Hannah Higgins and Larissa Connelly with Narromine Library staff Belinda Barlow and Vickey Foggin. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. (41.6 per cent), phones (40.5 per cent) and email (11 per cent).

To a lesser degree, scams were also perpetuated on the internet, mobile applications, social networking, and in person, she said.

The fact that federal, state and local governments have moved a lot of client contact and communication to electronic sources has made it easier for electronic scamming.

For example, text messages are often sent to confi rm appointments, provide security codes to log in to government websites and more. People are used to receiving electronic notifications from official sources asking them to take action.

Many victims of scams are elderly people who find it difficult to navigate the online world and rely on others to assist them. Many are unaware of the raft of scams circulating because of this disengagement.

In 2021, the Australian Institute of Criminology published a report on “technology as an enabler of fraud during pandemics.

“The range of adaptations of conventional scams to the pandemic environment has been extensive, with criminals developing scams involving [personal protective equipment] and fake cures, domestic pet scams, employment scams, investment frauds, travel refund and insurance scams, and a

variety of phishing attacks, identity crimes and ransomware threats involving COVID-19 scenarios, sometimes impersonating contact tracing officials to obtain personal and banking information,” the report stated.

Ms Connelly has this advice for anyone receiving an unexpected call, text message, email, letter or other approach asking for something.

“Never click on links in text messages or emails, and don’t follow any [telephone] prompts. End the call. Look at the caller ID on your phone or mobile. If it’s a very long number or international number, steer clear of it,” Ms Connelly said.

“If you suspect a call is not legitimate, hang up and call the organisation’s general contact number.” This way you can clarify personally that the organisation is currently contacting people for whatever purpose.

“Last year there were COVID vaccination scams circulating, telling people they had to pay for COVID vaccinations [which are free to the community],” said Ms Higgins.

There were also numerous scams selling untested COVID “cures” to vulnerable people.

Another big scam currently doing the rounds on various social media sites in the central west involves private house rentals being advertised for properties that don’t exist, Ms Higgins said. Desperate house hunters in an overcrowded market have been paying bond and rent for private rentals on the promise of keys being posted to them.

Ms Higgins encouraged the community to report scams to the police and or Scamwatch, a program run by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), the national consumer protection agency.

The Scamwatch website has information on the range of scams circulating, takes reports about scams, and provides information on how to get help if you have fallen victim to scams. You can also sign up for email alerts about scams and follow Scamwatch on social media.

The ACCC also publishes The Little Black Book of Scams, copies of which are available for free from the Narromine and Trangie libraries.

Library staff are also available to assist community members to develop their digital skills and understanding.

Trangie sewing group starts up again

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Trangie sewing group started up again last Sunday after a significant hiatus.

Cathie Gillespie and Trish Clark worked on lovely quilts for young family members while Tracey Bennett crocheted a blanket.

The group with more than a dozen active members has been going for about ten years now, Ms Gillespie told the Narromine Star.

Their meetings were impacted by COVID restrictions, and then finding a suitable time to meet around members’ availability, she said.

Regional, State & National news Trish Frail announces candidacy for Parkes

By NATASHA MAY TRISH FRAIL announced on Friday, March 18 that she will be running in the upcoming Federal election as the Greens candidate for Parkes.

Ms Frail is a Ngemba woman, born and bred in Brewarrina. She has local government experience as a councillor at Brewarrina Shire Council as well as running a cafe serving healthy food with a native twist.

Ms Frail has indicated the issues she is campaigning on will be as follows.

Health: Ms Frail knows dental health can be a major issue in Western NSW and as part of the Greens party policy she wants dental health to be covered under Medicare.

She knows of many who have to go to the hospital because they can’t afford a dentist and

struggle with their teeth.

“We do need oral health under Medicare,” she says.

Ms Frail also wants to make sure little communities like Goodooga aren’t left without any doctors in town. Frail knows lack of transportation often means people can’t travel to another town to see a doctor so “they just stay and suffer in pain.”

Women and family: Ms Frail wants to do more to help tackle issues of domestic violence, as well as the discrimination against women in employment. “Women earn 14 per cent less than men in the same field,” she says.

“We work as hard as the men, then we go home and we continue to work for love.”

Climate change: Ms Frail says the fact that the country has been through “the most horrific drought and now

Trish Frail is a candidate for Parkes in the upcoming federal election. these floods” all relate back to issues of climate. She believes we need to transition towards an economy centred around renewable energy.

While Ms Frail knows people care about the jobs in fossil fuel industries, she wants to

emphasise that “there are the same amount of jobs in renewable energy. You just have to start working towards it.”

She wants to work with communities, businesses, and homes to help them in the transition to renewable energy.

Businesses: Ms Frail says supporting local businesses is key to keeping people in regional areas and local shires operating. She wants to help locals explore ways to start their own businesses or if already open, stay in business.

With her own cafe, Ms Frail not only uses native foods but has also expanded to selling the artwork, soaps and candles of different local women.

Social justice for First Nations: Ms Frail says deaths in custody need to be addressed and that royal commission recommendations are still be-

ing totally disregarded.

“We need to work out how can we overcome services and police from disregarding First Nations people when they have them in custody.”

Housing: Ms Frail believes “we need houses to be built suitable for the climate and suitable for the region.” She doesn’t want to see houses which might be suitable for Sydney being built in the area, only to fall apart in ten years.

She wants to make sure there is also enough housing for everyone in the regions.

She highlights housing is an interrelated issue with domestic violence as she says often victims of domestic violence will stay where they are because there’s nowhere for them to go.

Ms Frail says she wants change for Parkes. “I’m here for everybody,” she said.

by Gilgandra-based president of Country Press NSW Inc, Lucie Peart.

“The recommendations give hope to many of our members who have continued to serve their communities through recent downturns and disasters,” Mrs Peart said.

“While many regional MPs fully recognise and support the value of local newspapers to their communities and do what they can to support us, the outdated legislation and the spending decisions of many government departments has accelerated the decline in newspaper revenue, pushing us closer to the brink.”

The Country Press NSW Inc will be gathering in Dubbo this week for their 121st annual general meeting and Mrs Peart says that government relationships with regional newspapers is always high on the agenda.

“It was heartening to see this acknowledged in the committee’s report and we sincerely hope that the recommendations are adopted as soon as possible by the Australian government,” she said.

“We also hope that this critical information is taken on board by our NSW government as well.”

Cotton grant will benefit local growers through new markets

By SHARON BONTHUYS Cotton growers in the central west and beyond will benefit from a federally funded project to develop important international growth markets.

On March 22, Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud announced more than $1.5m would be made available to assist in securing new global markets for Australian cotton following the softening in the Chinese market.

Important growth markets such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Turkey, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will be explored through this process.

“The Agricultural Trade and Market Access Cooperation (ATMAC) grant of $1,515,700 builds on the fi rst phase of the Export Market Diversification Strategy,” said Mr Littleproud.

Cotton Australia will jointly deliver the project with the Australian Cotton Shippers Association, supported by the Cotton Research Development Corporation.

Cotton Australia CEO Adam Kay welcomed the announcement. He said that the fi rst phase of the ATMAC funding greatly assisted marketers to translate international buyer interest into orders. The 2021 crop sold out and forward orders pointed to a similar result for the 2022 crop.

“We have worked hard to establish a

reputation among global cotton buyers for the high quality that we produce and the sustainable methods we use to grow cotton. That reputation has assisted us greatly to fi ll the gap left by China.

“With a forecast crop of 5.2 million bales in 2022, market diversification is crucial. This ATMAC grant gives us a unique opportunity to capitalise on the high level of interest and potentially fi nd more buyers so we can cement an enduring pipeline of demand.

“We can work towards avoiding stockpiles and establish a clear roadmap for our future marketing efforts,” Mr Kay said.

Tony Quigley from Quigley Farms, Bayer Cotton Grower of the Year for 2021, unpacked this further.

“This year’s Australian harvest will be somewhere in excess of five million bales, up substantially on the two million bales produced in each of the past three years due to low irrigation water supply across the cotton regions,” he said.

Australian cotton is good quality and strong, used as a base fibre in mill laydown and blended with a lesser quality cotton to make lower cost yarn.

This means it can be more expensive to purchase.

“There is a current need to fi nd more mills in non-traditional user countries (such as Turkey) to drive demand

for our cotton, hence the need for a program to connect with new and old mill customers,” Mr Quigley said.

“Our Cotton to Market program has done a great job of positioning Aus-

tralian cotton in the world textile market by assisting brands and retailers to source cotton from Australia and raise the profi le of Australian cotton globally with a range of stakeholders.

Vale, Gwen Bourchier

A Mass of Thanksgiving celebrating the life of Mrs Gwenda Mary Philomena Bourchier was held at St Augustine’s Catholic Church, Narromine, on March 25. Mrs Bourchier passed away on March 4, aged 101.

The Narromine Star is grateful to the Bourchier family for permission to publish the eulogy delivered at the funeral by eldest grandchild Suzanne Walsh.

Contributed by SUZANNE WALSH ON BEHALF OF THE BOURCHIER FAMILY AN inspirational woman who lived an amazing life for 101 years, quite a milestone – this was Gwenda Mary Bourchier.

She was known by many terms throughout her life – as a daughter to Eileen and Jim Connell, a sister to her siblings Dulcie, Reg, Neil, Les and Don. A wife to Claude and mother to Roslyn, Kaye, Murray and Graeme, grandmother to 8 grandchildren, great-grandmother to 18, mother-in-law, aunty and friend extraordinaire to everyone she met, especially the Temoin Street crew.

In true Nan style she left me a book to help me speak about her life today and I will try to do it justice as I endeavour to pay tribute to such a wonderful life.

Gwenda Mary Philomena began her life in Wellington on January 28, 1921. Her family moved around a bit when she was young to accommodate her father’s work.

They lived in Combara when she was young and her dad Jim and his brothers had a cutting cart where they would sell meat door to door.

They also lived out of town near Eulomogo where her father was a slaughterman. She attended Eulomogo school during the day and when she and her siblings came home from school they had to do jobs like collecting the eggs, running the guts of the sheep, separating the fat and making it into dripping.

Her two brothers Reg and Les helped. They had a hard life and Nan always remembers walking too close to one of the butchers skinning a bullock and receiving a nasty gash on her arm.

She had to go three miles into the doctors and received three stitches. Her dad was pretty tough though and didn’t have much sympathy for her, saying she should have looked where she was going. Her early life was defi nitely one of hard knocks.

The family then moved into Dubbo after a few years and her father got a job on the council. This meant that he was away from home Monday to Friday. During this time Eileen, her mum, had two more babies, Neil and Don. That made for a family of eight.

Neil unfortunately died at six months and later Reg tragically passed away at 16 after an appendix operation. He was a great bike rider and everyone was broken hearted.

Les and Gwen went to school at St Mary’s in Dubbo whilst Dulcie worked at a few jobs before becoming a nurse. Grow-

ing up, they had mixed times.

Their dad was very strict and used to give them a hiding when they misbehaved.

Nan remembers being sent to the bathroom to wait. Sitting there looking at the two straps behind the door. One was a thin hard strap whilst the other was a razor strap.

They would sit there wondering which one they would get when their dad finally came home. The waiting and wondering was often worse than the punishment.

Jobs on Saturdays were cleaning all the shoes, washing up, making beds, and as a reward on Saturday night they were bought a “smack.”

This was an ice cream coated in chocolate and they thought they were made. They didn’t have a lot of money but they certainly made the most of what they had.

Life was very simple. Cracker night involved her dad cracking the stock whip as they couldn’t afford to buy crackers.

At night after tea they were allowed to play games such as rounders, drop the hankey, marbles, and cricket with their neighbours out on the street.

Nan’s Mum Eileen died from cancer when Nan was only 11 and Dulcie came home to look after the family. They had a hard time trying to manage.

Nan left school at 14 and worked in the Valencia café before going to work at Mumford’s along with Joan Kilfoyle, who was Nan’s best friend all through her school years.

One of her funniest memories whilst working at Mumford’s involved the shenanigans the girls got up to when difficult customers came in.

They had very high counters so when a horrible customer would come in the other girls would crawl along the floor and undo the suspenders of the girl who was serving, pulling their stockings down.

Trying not to laugh and make a fuss, made for some great memories and fun times at work.

Nan’s father was very strict and had strict curfew times around what she could and couldn’t do.

As she got older she was able to go to church at night but she had to be home at 9pm. If she went to a party it was 11pm.

One night after church Joan and Nan met some boys and went for a drive around town.

It was after 9pm when they drove up Nan’s street. Sure enough her dad was out on the corner waiting and Nan knew she would be in big trouble.

She ducked down in the car and drove around to Joan’s.

Joan’s mother was a good sport so she walked Nan home

with an arm full of music.

Joan’s mum told Jim that Nan had gone around to collect it and they had lost track of time. He believed her so Nan managed to avoid a bit of trouble this time.

At 18 Nan’s father passed away from a heart attack. The family then was split into a couple of groups. Don went to live with Dulcie and her husband Keith, whilst Nan and Les battled on for a few years.

They let out a room in their house to other families to try and make ends meet. They then sold their furniture and Nan went to board with the Lemsurie family. Times were tough but they survived and made do, however, Nan said she couldn’t do it again.

Claude was the only boy Nan ever took home as her father wouldn’t let her go out with boys.

She was out one night at the

pictures and her grandmother talked to herself all night so that her dad would think Nan was with her.

Nan married Claude in 1941 at St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney. Their wedding though had to take place behind the altar because in those days a non-Catholic couldn’t be married in the main part of the church.

Then along came WW2.

Claude joined the armoured division after being in the Lighthorse and became a warrant officer. They had four children, and lost a still born baby girl. They were very sad about this but were philosophical. As Nan said, “it just wasn’t meant to be”.

Nan and Pop had a great life together with lots of fun times.

Some of the things she will always remember included going horseback riding. She was scared stiff.

One day after riding whilst she was staying with granny, Pop’s mum, Pop had painted the bathtub. Nan went to have a bath and unfortunately when she sat in the bath the paint stuck to her bottom.

She had blisters from riding so granny had to get the paint off her bottom and this caused a lot of laughs.

Nan was very close to granny and regarded her not as a mother-in-law but more like a second mother. She said she would never forget her and all the things she did to help Nan

and Pop. When they were courting, Pop used to bring her beautiful red roses. She loved those and still has a beautiful rose bush today growing in her garden.

Another time he brought home a cocker spaniel pup, hiding it in his pocket. They called him Pal and he became a valued member of the family living for over 14 years.

This was just one of the many dogs, cats and birds that made up the animal menagerie that became an integral part of the Bourchier family.

Anyone who knows Nan would know how much she loved singing, playing the piano and the harmonica.

Nan was a very talented musician who played the piano by ear which in later years was very helpful. Her mother had taught Nan the piano for a few years and Dulcie continued after she passed.

At 84 years she still played the piano at day care, Dubbo, Wellington and Trangie and even managed to have a tinkle of the ivories this year at Timbrebongie.

She played the piano at lots of weddings, debutante balls and birthdays and at the end of the war she drove on the back of truck around town singing old songs for hours – certainly wouldn’t be allowed to happen these days. Such lovely memories.

Nan’s talents didn’t end

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, March 31, 2022

The extended Bourchier family, with Gwen Bourchier seated at centre. with just music. She was well known for her hairdressing expertise. Nan really wanted to be a hairdresser but her dad wouldn’t let her go away to train and she says they probably couldn’t have afforded it anyway.

Rather than walk home for lunch when she worked at Mumford’s, she practiced hairstyles and did butterfly clips in the girls’ hair. She often did the neighbour’s hair and they would bring morning tea, cakes, sandwiches.

Hair sets were two shillings.

Every Thursday was hair day.

Having children didn’t stop her and she even got a special seat made for her bike so she could take Roslyn with her, especially to the older ladies.

She did this for many years until someone “put her in” and she was told she would have to open a proper salon if she wanted to keep doing it.

So instead of payment the women who were her great friends gave her tea towels, stockings and so on and the hairdressing morning teas continued well into her 80’s.

Amidst all this hairdressing Nan always looked out for others and was very active in the St Vincent de Paul society for over 50 years, Meals on Wheels, Hospital Auxiliary, and the church.

Nan continued to go to church right up until a couple of years ago and her strong faith provided her with great solace and strength.

She was an avid bingo player and after ten years of bingo they had made over $85,000 for charities including the Rescue Squad, Youth Club, Timbrebongie House and the 25 Club. A great job done by the “golden oldies” as they called themselves.

Nan was very generous and I would think that most families in town who had babies probably have a knitted pair of booties or a beautiful crocheted washer or coat hanger that Nan would have given them.

She was very community minded and knitted a multitude of beanies for cancer, crocheted numerous squares and

rugs, and helped raise countless funds to help others.

One special example she wrote about was when Nan and Leila Wall organised a nostalgia style dance to raise money to build the Wesley units.

Paul Spackman was on the drums, Roy Tancred on the trumpet, Rod Collins on the saxophone, Mr Fitzgerald from Trangie on the violin and Nan on the piano.

They charged a $2 entry fee.

They made damper with golden syrup. They had no practice but had a great night of singing and dancing, making 500 pounds for this worthy cause.

Imagine people doing this today.

She was never too busy to help others and really enjoyed the relationships that she developed with a wide variety of people over this time. This was something that her and Pop instilled within all our family.

Christmas time always saw extras join us for a hot Christmas lunch with plenty of food and good cheer for everyone who may not have had a family of their own.

Christmas continued to be celebrated in Port Macquarie and Crookwell over the years.

Many holidays were had at Port Macquarie by Nan and Pop where a number of other family members used to tag along to enjoy the beach and fun. Nan also enjoyed visiting aunty Dulcie and Keith’s Westview property for holidays.

A very special part of Nan’s extended family and life was the international group that made up the “Temoin street mafia.” This included the Clunness, McPherson, Rollitt, Charlesworth, Jones, Gardiner, Daniels and Crooks families.

Life long friendships and family like bonds were created within this motley crew from all over the globe.

Many morning teas included the famous pancakes from Aunty Isa, shortbread from Aunty Agnes and Chocolate cake from Nan. Mulberry pies, lemon butter and the famous sponge cakes were the norm for all of us lucky enough to

grow up in Nan’s house.

Many a weekend was full of excitement staying with Nan and Pop when mum and dad went out. Vegemite soldier toast fi ngers for breakfast in bed, guaranteed ice cream no matter what else you had already eaten, and shadow puppets in bed all made our time with Nan very special.

Grandchildren and great-children were the light of her life and she derived great pleasure from all our visits. No matter how long it had been in between visits she always had our favourite foods and remembered our birthdays.

She was even known to send an emergency chocolate cake care package or two down with GB whenever he visited us in Sydney.

As the eldest grandchild, I had a special name – Snoogie – that she gave me, which I will always treasure.

Nan was recognised by the community for her generosity and commitment to others. In 1987 she received the Award for Citizen of the year.

In 1998 she also received a Community Good Deed award from the Orana Credit Union, while in 1999 she received the Award for Senior Citizens with a few of her mates. In 2012 she received an Australia Day Achievement Award.

All of these awards were as Nan said “a real surprise and great honour. What I do for people I do because I want to, not for a prize, but it was lovely anyway”.

Nan and Pop owned a black

“ All of these awards were as Nan said ‘a real surprise and great honour. What I do for people I do because I want to, not for a prize, but it was lovely anyway’.

Five friends in 1939 Ten years ago, Gwen Bourchier sent this photo in to Narromine Star’s sister newspaper in Dubbo. She explained at the time that this group of friends often used to ride their bikes out to Whylandra Crossing, between Narromine and Dubbo. “They would have a picnic and a swim in the river then ride back into town again.” They always had a great time, she said.

Pictured, left to right, are Gwen Bourchier (nee Connell), Betty Rodey (nee Gillis), Joan Turner (nee Kilfoyle) and Norma Astley. A fifth friend, Stephanie Jackson (nee Buckley) took the photo. taxi for over 33 years and Nan prided herself on being a good driver. She continued to drive all the old ladies that were younger than her to bingo until she was 95 when she finally handed in her licence.

Nan and Pop lived through many trials and tribulations.

This included the mammoth 1955 floods where floods rose to 15 inches of water through the house. They provided shelter and helped many families.

Kids slept end for end, chickens were floating down the street on logs and they even had to set up camp in “Stalag 17,” as it was called, in the showground sheds. Graeme was only a baby and had tonsilitis. It was a terrible time for them all but as Nan said, “they survived”.

Never one to act her age, Nan was often involved in acting, singing and dancing for good causes and just for fun. She was even a calendar girl as Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to help raise money for charity.

At 86 years old she even ventured out on a Harley Davidson courtesy of Barry and Kathy Hanchard. I know she really enjoyed it.

When she gave up her li-

cence and became more of a home body, she needed to rely on others to get her around.

Pam Rees was a guardian angel as was Dawn Fuller, Carol Hawkins and Graeme who enabled Nan to comfortably stay in her own home like she always wanted.

She had a very busy life and even said she never thought she would live this long. 101 is quite an incredible innings!

She was the matriarch of our family and it is hard to imagine our lives without her.

We will always remember the way she made each of us feel special.

And although she only went to Sydney by plane once herself, she always supported all of us as we travelled far and wide – but was glad when we returned home safe and sound.

They say that people come and go in our lives and some stay a while and leave footprints on our hearts.

I think all of us here today would agree that she has left indelible footprints on all our hearts.

Nan, we love you and know that your legacy will live on in our lives as we strive every day to make you proud of us.

Vale, Gwen Bourchier.

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

$14.8 million boost for Broken Hill battery LAST week I was thrilled to announce that the Coalition Government is teaming up with AGL to construct a largescale battery at Broken Hill which will improve energy security in regional New South Wales and help to maintain downward pressure on prices.

A $14.84 million grant through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) will enable construction of a 50MW/50 MWh lithium-ion large scale battery equipped with grid forming inverters to improve system strength and support increased levels of renewable energy generation in the area.

AGL has engaged energy storage provider Fluence and its consortium partner Valmec to supply the battery for the $41 million project.

This battery will be a game-changer for Broken Hill – it will supplement the Broken Hill solar plant and Silverton wind farm, storing clean power to ensure the lights remain on across town, while also allowing for further expansion of renewables.

The Parkes electorate is helping to lead the way when it comes to reducing emissions

than $1 million for the creation of drought resilience officers in the Northern NSW/ Southern QLD Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub, including one position to be based in Narrabri.

These Adoption Officers will drive the innovation in drought resilience technologies and practices on farms across Northern NSW. During the visit, Minister Littleproud was able to meet with some of the movers and shakers in the agricultural industry in the Parkes electorate, and enjoyed tours of the University of Sydney Plant Breeding Institute in Narrabri and Fletcher International Exports in Dubbo.

Major investment in NBN, RFDS SOME big announcements have begun to roll out ahead of this week’s Federal Budget. Perhaps most exciting for the Parkes electorate is the $480 million investment into the NBN to improve the quality of services being provided over the NBN fi xed wireless and satellite networks.

By using the latest 4G and 5G wireless technology, this upgrade will extend the coverage range from a tower and allow higher speed services to everyone served by the tower.

This means more people can be served by NBN fi xed wireless; it means higher speed services on the NBN fi xed wireless network; and it means higher amounts of data can be used by households and business customers.

More than 24,000 premises across the Parkes electorate will be able to benefit from this upgrade, which will make a huge difference for so many families and businesses.

Meanwhile, the Coalition Government has also announced it will enter into a record 10-year strategic partnership – worth nearly $1 billion – to provide more certainty for regional, rural and remote patients who rely on the critical aeromedical service.

The RFDS plays a vital role in our electorate and this historic partnership will provide long-term security to enable this iconic Australian rural If you know someone like that, then nominate them for an award in the annual Rotary NSW Emergency Services Community Awards (RESCA).

CWA handicrafts judged

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Country Women’s Association (CWA) held an Intergroup Handicraft event last Friday in Narromine with many beautiful items on display for judging.

Member clubs from the Far Western and Macquarie regions attended the event which was judged

by Pam Wright from Tamworth. A talented felter, Ms Wright was assisted by Denise Turnbull from Enngonia Branch and Marjorie Blatch from Macquarie.

“There really was

a job for the judge today,” said Ms Turnbull of the exquisite range of items to be judged.

The Far Western group (which includes Narromine and Trangie CWAs) managed to come out winners over Macquarie group by a few points. The winning piece was a wooden box, appliqued with wool, making a beautiful sewing box with accessories.

It was made by G. Church from Warren Branch.

The event was followed by morning tea prepared by the Narromine CWA members.

By SHARON BONTHUYS A large crowd gathered at the Trangie Showgrounds on Tuesday to acknowledge and celebrate the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW centenary.

Formed by strong women with a strong passion for rural and regional life, seeking to improve conditions for rural women, the CWA NSW had its beginnings at the Bushwomen’s Conference held in conjunction with the Royal Agricultural Show in Sydney in April 1922.

The early CWA was focused on fighting isolation and a lack of health facilities, setting up baby health care centres, funding more bush nurses, and building and staffing the likes of maternity wards, hospitals, schools, rest homes, and holiday getaways for rural and remote families. Many of

members by improving the social, educational, recreational and medical realities for their communities,” said Stephanie Stanhope, CWA of NSW President.

Trangie CWA president Pat Riley told the audience about the strength of the lobbying power of the country women of Australia.

“The result of this is that a number of issues affecting remote, rural and urban women, children and their families have been raised in the appropriate forums and have resulted in outcomes favourable to rural and isolated Australians.”

Journalist, author and women’s rights advocate Tracey Spicer enthralled the audience with her very candid speech about her career and the many battles she fought against sexism and discrimination in the male-dominated media world.

This included taking on TV bosses who told her that she did not have a job to return to after maternity leave, and starting a movement for change in the industry and beyond.

The centenary birthday cake was cut by the Trangie CWA’s longest serving member, Jenny Wilson, who has been a member of the branch for 59 years.

A wonderful morning tea was served by hospitality students from Trangie Central School, and the event rounded out with presentations to the most senior man Noel Billet, 93, most senior woman Dawne MacDougall, 98, youngest man Peter Wilson, 69, and youngest lady Alex Gartside, 29.

Congratulations to Trangie CWA for organising a wonderful event to celebrate its parent body’s centenary.

Reflections on the CWA centenary event at Trangie Contributed by PAT RILEY, PRESIDENT, CWA TRANGIE ALTHOUGH numbers did not quite meet expectations, the loss was with those who, for whatever reason, were unable to attend the Country Women’s Association NSW (CWA) Centenary and Senior’s Week celebration held recently in the reception area of Trangie Showground.

The event was an amazing success, with a captivating guest speaker, great music, a delicious morning tea and some

fun along the way as members of the audience vied for recognition as the ‘oldest’ or ‘youngest’.

Under the practiced eye of Lea McKinnon, the old pavilion was transformed into a virtual wonderland with balloons, ribbons, fairy lights and native foliage to enhance the structural magnificence of the historic building.

Morning tea, ably prepared and served by CWA members and Year 12 Home Economics students was abundant and delicious.

Long time member of

Trangie branch of CWA, Mrs Jenny Wilson was acknowledged for her 59 year membership, the longest serving member in the history of Trangie branch.

The music provided by Kosmik Duo was sufficient inducement to encourage those so inclined on to the dance floor.

A truly heart- warming moment was when local and visiting octogenarians took to the dance floor and held their own with the younger generation. The smiles on their faces were ample evidence of the joy to be

gained from music and dance.

In her address, branch President Pat Riley outlined some of the achievements of CWA over the past 100 years, drawing attention to the fact that each and every one of us have, at some stage, had our life impacted by the work of CWA. In detailing some of the association’s achievements, Mrs Riley spoke about the lobbying power of CWA and the association’s support of such diverse issues as Mental Health, Education, Farm Safety, Road

Safety and Education.

Mayor Craig Davies spoke about the importance of small communities, the economic future of Trangie and the contribution to community made by seniors Guest speaker, Tracey Spicer, OAM, media personality and published author spoke with conviction about the important role of women in today’s society and specifically in the workforce.

Her address was both inspirational and motivational and was delivered with a power-point pres-

entation and a touch of humour that resonated with the audience.

Truly a remarkable event, the CWA of Trangie would like to acknowledge mayor Craig Davies, Narromine Shire Council, Robinson’s Grain, Trangie Action Group, Trangie Caravan Park, Macquarie Picnic Race Club, and the Year 12 Home Economics class.

MC Shane Dolton gave a very professional approach to ‘keeping the show on the road’ and Tony Lees delivered the Welcome to Country.

Thursday, March 31, 2022 Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region NARROMINE STAR

Sport Gerries golf notes: Wins for Kelly and Kearines Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Saturday a field of 22 golfers were in attendance for the fi nal summer comp of the season.

Nine ladies played the front nine of the Narromine course, which as usual was in great condition. Winner on the day was Marj Kelly with a fi ne round of 27 stableford points. Well done, Marj.

Michelle Ashdown took second place with 25 points, a really big improvement on last week’s effort. She also won the ladies NTP. The ladies NAGA prize saw two players equal on 15 points. A count back was needed and the prize went to Gail White from Anne Harmer.

Over on the back

nine, 13 men faced the starter and the winner was Alan Kearines with a great round of 27 points. Well done, Al. Runner up on the day was “Boof”Fraser on 25 points.

Kearines completed a double by winning the men’s NTP. Last week’s comp winner Terry Willis collected the NAGA prize with 16 points, defeating John Butcher on a count back. No doubt the handicapper caught up with the two winners of last week’s competitions.

Over to the pool table where two preliminary matches were played. In the fi rst match,Alan Kearines and Terry Willis defeated Chris Harding and Norm Lewis while the second match went to Greg Kearines and

Bob Fletcher who defeated Chris Peter and Brian Masling.

In the fi nal,Greg Kearines and Bob Fletcher proved too good for Terry Willis and Alan Kearines and collected the title of pool champs for the week.

There was a change to the program announced last week due to a clash with the Golf Business House Shoot Out and presentation of trophies, which was held on Wednesday, March 30.

The next Gerries comp will be played on Saturday morning, April 2, at 9.00 am on the front nine.

That’s it for this week – congratulations to Mr and Mrs Hogan who were married last Saturday. See you at the 19th.

Allan Kearines.

Men’s bowls: ‘A Pairs’ reach Final Status Contributed by RICK BOHM ANOTHER interesting week of bowls action from Narromine Bowly to report on, even a bit of a foray to “Paris

by Night” was included in the itinerary.

Firstly to championship matches and the Men’s A Pairs have now reached the Final Status, just a “tad” unsure when the final will actually take place due to work and personal commitments of a couple of the combatants.

So Thursday saw a quarter fi nal catch up match played between James Coen and

Kevin Rider who took on Danny Carnevale and Don Sullivan for a berth in Saturday’s programmed semi-finals.

On this occasion Danny and Don proved a shade too good, winning comfortably 22/10.

So on to Saturday’s semis where Danny and Don were up against the formidable duo of James Daley and Robbie Stanford. Thursday’s joy was quickly forgotten as “Bopper” and “Robbie” proved to be a bridge too far to cross.

The fi nal score line was 20/16 in Bopper and Robbie’s favour. In the other semifinal, Ray Anthony and Steve

Buttsworth continued on their merry way winning comfortably 24/08 over Adam Jermyn and Bruce Maher.

So we now have a fi nal to complete but when? As they say in the classics, watch this space.

Social bowls this week saw a game on Thursday afternoon and a return visit to Trangie on Sunday morning. The results went something like this...

Des Lincoln and Bill Wilkie got all the chocolates available for their winning score. Just eight players went around, a little disappointing consider-

ing the weather and a handy jackpot of $117.00 to play for.

Never mind, the good news is the Jackpot will be worth a few more shekels this week.

Sunday morning, despite mother nature having a bit of a say in proceedings, she wasn’t too bad and so it was off to Trangie for a morning of camaraderie, as we repaid the host club for their visit earlier in the month.

According to my spy, a great morning’s bowls and some refreshments to follow including a BBQ made the occasion one of note. The morning’s winning rink was the trio of Brett

Young, Ray Anthony and David McNair. Yep, that is a red hot side and I pity their opponents who obviously had a daunting task, reeling this team in.

The next championship event to go up on the board should be the triples, and hopefully we might start straight after Easter. The nomination sheet with all the playing dates should be posted this week.

Thursday’s and Saturday’s raffle’s continue to flourish.

Well that’s it for me for another week, and again no joy for us Dragon fans.

EPIROC wins business house golf comp Contributed by NORM LEWIS & KALE BOCK THE popular Business House competition concluded last Wednesday with a victory to team EPRIOC who defeated team CANARIES by the odd point 83 to 82.

This competition proved very popular through the summer months with 11 teams competing over 20 rounds. The individual shoot out and presentation of trophies evening was held on March 30 and a full report on this comp will appear in next week’s paper.

Weekend golf results. Saturday – Individual Par Event: Winner Chris Peter (Plus 4), R-U Peter Gainsford (Plus 2), NTP Bruce Mitchell, Long Drive Rob Gainsford.

Sunday – Two Person Ambrose – KENO Qualifier – First – L. Reid and R. Richardson 61 net, Runner Up C. Peter and D. Weir 63. NTP N.Walker, Long Drive D.Coen.

The winners will now rep-

resent the Club at the Regional fi nals at Dubbo later in the year for a shot at the state finals to be played at the popular Bonville course on the North Coast later in the year.

The junior coaching clinic continued on Sunday with a total of 13 players including six new players. The clinic will be held again next weekend.

Vets news. Last week two of our vets members travelled to Binnaway for the annual open tournament. It was attended by representatives from eight clubs. A grade winner was Chris Peter (Narromine), 37 points on a count back from Ashley Bullock (Narromine ) also on 37 points. The next Veterans Open is at Nyngan on Saturday, April 9.

Coming events – Saturday, April 2 – April Monthly Medal sponsored by Macquarie Clothing. Sunday, April 3 – club stableford and the Dunedoo open. That’s it for another week – good golfing.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

Wellington Boot carnival, March 25 PREDICTED to have a bright future in the saddle, apprentice Jake Barrett was aboard Ferus, winner of the 1400 metres Glen Gallic Stud Golden Spur Handicap on the fi rst day of the Wellington Boot carnival.

This was the second winner in the career of Barrett, who is apprenticed to Wyong trainer Kim Waugh, but currently on loan to the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo. A strong fi nishing third to Great Buy and Amulet Street in the recent Country Champ-ionship Qualifier at Coonamble, Ferus was ridden at Wellington by Barrett for Dubbo trainer Clint Lundholm.

Always travelling well, Ferus ($4.80) led throughout in a four-lengths win over Petain (Tony Cavallo, $7) with Sir Finn (James Innes Jnr, $8.50) and Watch Me Rumble (Aaron Bullock, $4.20) in a dead heat for third.

Brett Robb had earlier won the 1000 metres KFC Wellington and Forbes Class Two and Above BM 50 Handicap as the trainer of Rylan’s Pick which is owned by Ken and Kerry Wright from Nyngan.

Given a nice run fourth by

Racing at Wellington and Tullibigeal Clayton Gallagher, Rylan’s Pick ($3.20 favourite) took a rails run in the straight and raced clear from Angie Emm (Elissa Meredith, $5.50) and Sipharderson (Jake Barrett, $13).

Warwick Farm trainer Greg Hickman considered scratching Insider Trader from the feature event the $40,000 Over The Line Racing Iron Horse when a wild storm dumped 20mm of rain on the racecourse the evening before the meeting.

Hickman explained Insider Trader normally dislikes heavy tracks however the trainer noted the excellent grass coverage at Wellington and decided to press ahead, with happy results.

Tullibigeal Picnics, Saturday, March 26 FOR one the story finished and for another it was the first page when Caszar ridden by Emily Waters won the Cup on Saturday at Tullibigeal Picnics.

Prior to the meeting it was announced Caszar would be retired after the Cup, the nineyear-old gelding having raced with success, mainly in strong TAB company, for the proud owners Bernie Kearins, Diane Kearins, and Suzanne Shearer from West Wyalong and longtime Forbes trainer Barry Molloy.

Tullibigeal was chosen for the final race being the hometown of John Glasgow who had been a part owner of Caszar before his death from cancer.

John Glasgow had been a tireless worker in getting the track and facilities up to standard for Tullibigeal to be granted permission to commence holding race meetings in 2011.

Emily Watersm, who was booked to ride Caszar in the cup, had in the opening race ridden the first winner of her career, Miracle Knight trained by her father Mont Waters at Tumbarumba.

Holding the inside rail position in a line of three, Miracle Knight ($3.50) broke clear to win the 975 metres Class B Handicap by over a length from Leviticon (Ricky Blewitt, $2.50) and Orezira (Breanna Bourke, $3.50). Describing her first win as a dream come true, Emily Waters then pro-

duced a great ride on Caszar in the $9,000 Dunk Insurance-Frampton Flat Feedlot and O’Connors Tullibigeal Picnic Cup over 1600 metres.

Running fourth entering the back straight, Caszar began to pull hard and Waters wisely allowed her mount to stride to the front.

Under siege turning for home, Caszar ($3.20) held on grimly to win by a neck from Valadyium (Leandro Ribeiro, $2 favourite) with Equilibrium (Dylan Stanley, $5.50) a halflength away third.

There was a big crowd at the meeting and Caszar the winner of five races and placed 15 times, with prizemoney earnings of over $120,000 returned to an emotional reception with numerous family members and friends of the late John Glasgow among the crowd.

Bernie Kearins who has close ties with Tullibigeal, in a touching acceptance speech acknowledged the skill and dedication of trainer Barry Molloy and track work rider, former jockey Catherine Newcombe.

Tullibigeal as usual attracted many keen punters and the betting turnover was outstanding with the five bookmakers working on the local races, between them, holding in excess of $70,000.In the 1200 metres Maiden Plate, the winner Watermelon Wine was backed from $5 to $3, however Canberra visitor Sublime ($1.60) which carried a bet of $1,000, finished unplaced.

Gorillas rugby host warhorse games Contributed by JEN CORDEROY IT was a wet and windy start to the day but we welcomed a huge juniors crowd last Sunday at the Warhorse Games.

Not too much bigger for the men’s and women’s divisions.

Our ultimate warhorse winners were Bec Smyth, Justin Bennet, Alex Brown and Gerard Cahill. A special mention for “warhorse determination” went to Sam Redden.

It was an absolutely awesome day despite the weather! We all had a blast.

True warhorse spirit. We love a good challenge.

Leandro Ribeiro also rode the Connie Greig, Dubbo trained Linden Tree which scored a hard fought win as the $1.35 favourite in the 1200 metres Class Two Trophy Handicap.

Humping 74kg and conceding 12kg to the rivals, Linden Tree was under serious threat in the straight but was a brave winner by a neck from Late Return (Ricky Blewitt, $3.40) and Germaine (John Wilson, $3.60).

Dylan Stanley, who rode winners in NSW and the Northern Territory during a brief stint as an apprentice, is now riding at the Picnics and it was a good display on the Rodney Robb, Nyngan-trained Rogue Runner in the 975 metres Open Bracelet Sprint Perched behind the leaders, Rogue Runner ($2.60) with a rails run finished best to score by two lengths from Call Me Trinity (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.70 favourite) and Rebecca’s Quest (Ricky Blewitt, $2.80).

Contributed by MATT ELLIS, CRICKET NSW

NARROMINE have capped off a wonderful season in the Pinnington Cup coming away with an eleven-run victory in the decider against RSL Colts on Saturday in Dubbo.

In what has been a series

of nail-biting fi nishes, starting with a tie a fortnight ago against RSL Colts, it is no surprise that the Grand Final went down to the wire.

RSL Colts won the toss and sent the visitors in with Narromine able to post a competitive eight for 151 from their 40 overs.

Captain Doug Potter led the way with the bat making 33 and he was well supported by Matt Ward who fi nished 26 not out and Mitchell Smith who made 24.

Narromine had the early ascendency in defending their total with the bowlers making inroads to have Colts

in trouble at five for 42.

Despite a recovery mission from the Colts middle order, the Narromine bowlers were able to make inroads and fi nish the job to claim the Pinnington Cup with Colts all out for 140.

Liam Wherritt was the pick of the bowlers for Narromine
