Not on your Nellie: road closure impacts residents

By SHARON BONTHUYS

Footy stops in Trangie ■ Support Tigers’ scratch match on Saturday

By SHARON BONTHUYS HAS the withdrawal of both the adult rugby union and rugby league teams from their respective competitions this season sounded the death knell for footy in Trangie?

Local rugby union stalwarts hope not, urging the Trangie community to get behind the “scratch match” planned between the Trangie Tigers and the Coolah Roos this Saturday afternoon at Alan Burns Oval.

“It’s the only game of rugby union the Trangie Tigers will play at home this year,” said Justin Quigley from the Trangie Tigers Rugby Union Club.

POP quiz. A street has two entry points. “Road closed” signs are in place at both entries. It is illegal to disobey roadworks signage and barriers including “road closed” signs. How do the residents living in the impacted zone access their homes without breaking the law?

This is the dilemma facing Ted Davies and his neighbours in Nellie Vale Road, Narromine. The intersection of Algalah Street and Nellie Vale Road is the site of current Council roadworks to construct below ground drainage for the new Dappo Road property developments.

The intersection is closed off with barriers, signage and bunting around the major construction site. However, “road closed” barriers and signage are also in place a couple of hundred metres down Nellie Vale Road at the intersection with Temoin Street.

Caught in the “twilight zone” in between are the properties belonging to Ted Davies and his neighbours, as well as the Narromine cemetery.

Mr Davies returned from a trip to discover the barriers in place, presenting himself and his neighbours with a unique dilemma. Accessing their properties means driving around the “road closed” signage and breaking the law in the process.

The entrance to the Narromine cemetery is caught in the “twilight zone”.

“They’ve blocked off access to at least two homes and the back entrance to the vet centre,” Mr Davies said. “There was no knock on the door, no note, no consultation. We’re illegally going through a road closed sign to access our property,” he said.

“It’s a huge boghole now,” Mr Davies described the grassed area to the left of the barriers at the Temoin Street

intersection where motorists have been driving around the barriers to get to their properties and the Narromine cemetery. “You’d need a fourwheel-drive to get through there [following the recent rain].”

He also expressed concern about the road closure impacting access to the Narromine cemetery. The primary entrance to and parking for

“What about funerals?” Mr Davies asked.

Mr Davies can see no reason for the street to be closed at the Temoin Street intersection, as there are no roadworks impacting that location. The entry point at the Algalah Street intersection is well barriered.

Railway crossing concerns locals

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE locals have raised concerns on social media about the railway crossing at Dandaloo Street, just west of the train station.

Works had been carried out to the crossing and motorists, in particular, were complaining about the bone-jarring ride across the tracks.

Concerns were also expressed about disabled and elderly people using the pedestrian crossings on both sides of Dandaloo Street. The significant gaps between the tracks and the fi ll could potentially overturn a wheelchair or walking frame if it got caught in a gap.

The Narromine Star visited the site on June 27 and looked at the tracks, noting the significant gaps and the degraded state of the flooring guiding sight-impaired people across the pedestrian crossing. We also noted that vehicles often slowed to a crawl to cross the tracks.

Anthony Lees was the fi rst person to raise the issue on social media.

Mr Lees said the works looked unfi nished and he was concerned about the unnecessary stress on vehicles crossing at that location.

“With a pothole, the suspension has time to react to the sudden up and down movement,” he said. [The railway crossing] is cut concrete with a sharp edge that is very pronounced. It shakes your teeth going over it,” he said.

Locals were also concerned about vehicles damaging wheels, rims and tyres as well as their suspensions.

Mr Lees said crossing on a motorbike or scooter was also problematic and could cause an accident.

Nicole Gillette has multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair to get about.

She has also experienced difficulties at the Dandaloo Street railway pedestrian crossing.

“My carer or my husband is usually with me and we always joke that we’ll be getting the res-

cue squad to get me out [of the gaps],” she said.

“Obviously I do get across but it’s really rough, uncomfortable, and you do think that you could get stuck.”

Ms Gillette fears getting stuck on the crossing if travelling alone.

“My power wheelchair has big wheels at the front and little ones at the back, and I’d defi nitely be worried about getting stuck.

“I don’t know how people go using a push-chair or one of those gophers,” she said.

Ms Gillette and a friend took a walk over the crossing recently. “My friend said, ‘oh my God, have a go at this.’ It is rough. It’s defi nitely a trip hazard for the oldies,” she said.

The day before speaking with Ms Gillette, the Narromine Star witnessed an elderly pedestrian using a wheelie-walker have difficulty navigating her way over the pedestrian crossing on the railway bridge side of the road.

The Narromine Star approached ARTC for comment about the crossing and perceived safety issues for pedestrians and motorists.

A spokesperson for ARTC indicated the organisation has been working through repairs to improve the condition of the Dandaloo Street railway crossing.

“The railway track has changed condition over time due to environmental factors and use from trains,” the spokesperson said.

“ARTC has been investigating the damage and repair works are currently being scoped. Further site inspections are being carried out which will inform short term and long term solutions.

“The safety of road users and pedestrians is of utmost priority. ARTC will continue to update the community as plans progress,” the spokesperson said.

An update will be provided in a future issue when further information is known.

Road closure impacts residents From page 1 He is also furious that a traffic controller took his details and allegedly reported him for disobeying the signage.

“There was an opening [at the Algalah Street intersection] last Thursday and I drove through it,” he said. When he returned the same way, the traffic controller allegedly told him “we’ve taken your number and you’re illegally going through a road closed sign.

“How the hell am I going to access my block?” he asked the traffic controller, who told him to use the other entry point. “It’s closed down there too,” he replied.

Of further concern, the traffic controller then alleged that a check of Mr Davies’ registration had shown it had expired.

“How can they access my private information like that? A contractor?”

Mr Davies asked, indicating his registration had been renewed while he was away.

In desperation, Mr Davies called Narromine Shire Council and managed to speak to an engineer on July 4.

“Where is the shire involved in all of this?” he asked.

The Narromine Star con-

General Manager Jane Redden said that the road closure is in place due to upgrading the culverts on Tomingley Road as part of the Dappo Road subdivision and an approved traffic control management plan is in place. The traffic control staff are provided by the contractor, Ms Redden said. “[The plan] was submitted to Council by the contractor, Robson, and approved to ensure the safety of our community. Adjustments are made to the traffic control management plan in the event of funerals,” Ms Redden said.

“All residents were informed of the proposed works over a month ago via a letter box drop along with a verbal follow-up from Robson personnel. At

Mr Davies asserts that he and his neighbours have never received any information about the proposed closure and none of the contractor’s staff have spoken to him other than the traffic controller.

The Narromine Star has also confi rmed with funeral companies servicing the local area that contact with council is made when a funeral is to be held at the Narromine cemetery.

Mr Davies indicated he has contacted the General Manager and the Mayor about the matter, expressing concern about the traffic control management plan.

“I want to know why provisions were not made for residents.”

The assertion that the contractor’s staff have allegedly told residents to move the Temoin Street intersection barrier if needed to gain access to their properties has also not impressed Mr Davies.

“Their own traffic control staff don’t know about that,” he said, still fuming about his recent experience.

Mr Davies said he and a neighbour often take deliveries by truck which would mean the truck drivers having to physically move the barriers to gain entry at the Temoin intersection, and he wondered if mail delivery had also stopped with the postie possibly unable to get through.

It is anticipated that the road closure will be in place for a further week, subject to weather, Ms Redden said.

Nurses and teachers strike in Shire

By SHARON BONTHUYS NURSES and teachers across NSW took further industrial action last week, continuing their campaigns for better pay and conditions.

Hospitals in the Narromine shire were not directly impacted by the action taken by the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) but some schools in the shire were.

No NSWNMA staff walked off the job in Narromine Shire to participate in the industrial action on June 28.

They did, however, in principle support the action taken by members who did to join a Special General Meeting to openly discuss their current wages and conditions, health announcements in the state budget, and the NSW government’s ongoing refusal to introduce shift by shift ratios.

NSWNMA members believe health policies confi rmed in the recent 2022-23 NSW budget were more “smoke and mirrors” by the NSW government, and would not fi x the healthcare crisis, according to a union spokesperson.

During the meeting, mem-

bers called on the NSWNMA to pursue a pay increase of seven per cent in light of their extreme working conditions and inflation.

Unprecedented industrial action in the education sector saw Catholic schools across NSW join their state education colleagues in strike action on June 30. Initiated by the NSW Teachers Federation (NSWTF) and the Independent Education Union of Australia NSW/ ACT (IEUA), the joint strike action by state and Catholic teachers was historic.

IEUA NSW/ACT Branch Secretary Mark Northam said the crisis was impacting the entire profession.

“Catholic diocesan school employers follow the NSW Government’s lead on salaries, even though they are not legally bound by NSW Government wages policy,” Mr Northam said.

“The IEUA’s current bargaining for enterprise agreements for teachers and support staff is directly impacted by [the budget] decision by the NSW Government.

“The sharply rising cost of living, lack of real wages

growth, ever-increasing workloads and the pandemic have caused crippling staff shortages in Catholic schools – our members are exhausted and burnt out. The profession is at breaking point.

“Staff shortages and sinking salaries mean teachers and support staff in Catholic diocesan schools are really struggling. Teachers are leaving the profession and graduates are not entering it,” said Mr Northam.

While the state schools in the Narromine Shire closed for the day, neither of the Catholic schools in the shire participated in the strike action. Local teachers met in Dubbo on June 30 as part of the industrial action.

President of the Narromine/ Trangie Teachers Association, Jock Webb, told the Narromine Star that a large proportion of high school and primary school staff in the shire participated in the industrial action.

Mr Webb, an employee of the Narromine Public School, said it was difficult to say at this stage whether the NSW government had heard the message sent by thousands of the

state’s teachers.

“We’ll have to see what their reaction is,” he said.

“The problem is, there are 67 per cent more unfi lled vacancies in the public school system than there was this time last year and 70 per cent of our teachers are considering leaving the profession. There aren’t enough graduates coming from tertiary education to replace them.

“If we needed to fi nd teachers to allow for extra preparation, they just can’t be found.

We can’t replace teachers if they are away unwell because casual teachers are a very rare commodity in this day and age.”

Mr Webb indicated that a lack of sufficient teaching graduates meant even staffing a casual teaching pool is difficult.

“The shortage of teachers is not new. The Federation has been warning the government about it for some time. [The government was] well aware of the [teaching shortage] problems a couple of years ago but they weren’t talking about it.”

Coming off the back of the COVID restrictions and the

extra demands this extraordinary period placed on the sector, teachers are feeling let down by the government, he said.

Given the lack of response from the government, the sector could see further strike action this year, Mr Webb said.

“I don’t want to see further industrial action happen this year – no teachers do. But I imagine that it’s likely. And we need to be aware that teachers are excluded from going to the industrial umpire, as are all state public servants, [when disputes arise].

“We can’t put a case forward because the NSW government legislated a number of years ago to prevent us from using that method. Striking is the only weapon we have in our arsenal.”

Mr Webb pointed out the irony of the situation. “The government goes to the industrial umpire quick enough if they want orders made but we are excluded from using this avenue ourselves,” he said.

“It’s not just teachers, it’s [all public servants]. That’s why you see so much unrest with the nurses etc.”

Trangie loses both League and Union sides From page 1 With players unable to commit to the local competition across both codes, last month the Trangie Magpies Rugby League withdrew from the Christie and Hood Castlereagh league, just months after the Tigers pulled out of their own central west competition.

“It’s extremely disappointing and sad to see Trangie lose both their League and Union sides within six months of each other as players cannot commit nor do we expect them to run out on the field with low numbers and no bench,” officials recently wrote on the Magpies’ Facebook page.

“We truly hope this does not mean the end of sport for Trangie and encourage locals to be more active and involved in the hopes that the team can re-form and be strong competitors in the near future.”

The Tigers have since found a kindred spirit in rivals the Coolah Roos, who also have had difficulty in fielding a team for the central west rugby competition this year.

The teams faced off on June 4 at Coolah in the fi rst of two scratch matches planned.

Now it’s the Tigers turn to host and the team hopes the entire community will come together down at Alan Burns Oval to cheer on the local lads.

The event is raising funds to support a brother from another club, Orange Emus’ player Andrew Reagan, who suffered a serious neck injury earlier this year.

“Members of the Emus have been long-time supporters and players in the Trangie rugby community,” Mr Quigley said.

Planned to coincide with the Second Test between the Wallabies and England, this Saturday’s match in Trangie

Trangie Tigers at Coolah last month for the first of the scratch matches between the teams.

PHOTOS: TRANGIE TIGERS RUGBY UNION

is set to kick off earlier than usual.

Tigers’ life member, committee, past player and Old Boy Kevin Flinn will be one of those at the scratch match. “[The Trangie match] starts at 2pm. If you show up at 3pm it’ll be all over, red rover,” he said. “It’s on early so we can all show up at the pub to watch the Wallabies beat England for the second time.”

He said he expects about 25 Tigers to take part in the event, similar to the numbers that went to Coolah last month.

“We have plenty of players who want to have a few social games but not commit for the

whole season,” he said. With many junior rugby players in the Macquarie Emus outfit, he hopes they may drift across to the Trangie Tigers as they mature.

Another Rugby Old Boy who is pleading with the community to get behind the event is Mal Carpenter. He urged community members to support the day which will provide great entertainment for families, food by Whisk Away Vintage Van, and bar facilities for those needing a bevvy to cheer on the teams.

Mr Carpenter said the scratch match is the perfect warm up to the big Wallabies-England match which

will be shown at the Imperial Hotel. He encouraged locals to remember the “good old days” when Trangie was the Paris of the central west, and stay on to watch the rugby test and celebrate the sport into the night.

“They used to call us ‘Trangie by day, Paris by night,’ that’s how great it was,” he said, remembering days past when the town was known for its vibrant nightlife.

Not yet an Old Boy, player Lewis Goodman said Saturday’s match would be a good opportunity to come and support the Trangie community.

“With no footy in town now it’s a good way to come together, catch up and support the

town a little bit,” Mr Goodman said.

“Coolah put the idea to us and we were really happy with it, to try and keep rugby in the minds of Trangie locals,” he said. “[The Tigers are] a pretty big part of Trangie. When it was going well we used to get pretty big crowds. It’s good to try to keep it in people’s minds, and try to get some young fellows keen to go around next year.”

Mr Goodman described the last match against Coolah as a “cracking game of rugby.

“I can’t see this game being any different,” he said.

Mr Carpenter laments the demise of the Tigers as a competitive team, but understands the reasons behind it.

“The disappointing thing is we’ve got this beautiful oval, and it’s a bloody shame we won’t be using it enough anymore,” he said, indicating the Trangie Rugby Union Club had been instrumental in getting a seven-figure grant for the oval in days’ past.

“Ian Toole put together the proposal for the government grant which was well over a million dollars. We’ve got a fi rst class oval [as a result].”

Alan Burns Oval will still provide a venue for schools to play sport but its future as a venue for adult footy could be in question.

This journalist doesn’t know one end of a football from the other but I will be coming to Trangie on Saturday, July 9, with my rugby-mad South African born hubby to cheer on the locals.

Where will you be this Saturday afternoon? Hopefully with me at Alan Burns Oval, keeping the spirit of rugby alive in a small town with a big footy history.

By SHARON BONTHUYS FOUR Varroa mite zones are currently in place across NSW, as identified on the attached map. According to the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) website, the red zone represents the 10km eradication zones where honeybee hives will be euthanised.

The purple zone shows the 25km surveillance zones, where officials are monitoring and inspecting managed and feral honeybees to limit the extent of these incursions.

The yellow zone represents the 50km biosecurity zones and beekeepers within that area must notify NSW DPI of the locations of their hives.

The blue zone represents the rest of NSW. As at 6pm Friday, July 1, bees in 728 hives had been or were in the process of being euthanised within the identified red eradication zones.

On July 2, four additional infested premises were detected at Somersby, Tomago and Mayfield East. All infested premises identified so far are epidemiologically linked to earlier cases, which has resulted in a slightly enlarged emergency zone, according to DPI. A group permit was also issued allowing the movement of honeybees and hives to a higher location on the same premises or

within the emergency zone due to flood warnings. However, bees or hives cannot be transported out of or through another emergency zone at any time and cannot be moved back to the original location under the conditions of the permit.

On July 2, DPI advised that all people who have acquired honeybees (including queen bees, nucleus hives and hives with honeybees) from within the 50km emergency notification zone of the Port of Newcastle in the last 12 months were being urged to play their part by reporting them to help ensure business continuity for the bee industry.

On July 3, three additional infested premises were detected at Tanilba Bay, Salt Ash and Mayfield West. The emergency order was updated to include the Port Stephens Peninsula within the red 10km eradication zone, where hives will be euthanised.

This follows the destruction of 120 hives at Trangie known to have received honeybees from the Newcastle area, but upon inspection, were found not to contain the invasive mite.

The Varroa mites are tiny reddish-brown parasites and are easily identifiable to the naked eye, the DPI website states.

Orana Beekeepers meet again in the coming days and no doubt this state of emergency that threatens their industry will be a point of discussion.

Bee gone: the number one threat for the Australian bee industry

By EMILY MIDDLETON PUTTING a halt on the movement of bees, a statewide emergency order came into effect late last month intending to stop the spread of a destructive pest.

Commonly known as Varroa mite, it has been described as the number one threat for the Australian bee industry, and was recently discovered at the Port of Newcastle.

Minister for agriculture, Dugald Saunders, stated that “this pest is the most serious threat to the honey industry worldwide and would cost Australia more than $70 million a year if it is not stopped”.

As of 6pm, Sunday, June 26, the fourth tier zone order was added to the existing response measures, and means no bees are allowed to be moved across NSW. This order is having an unimaginable and immediate effect on all beekeepers locally and across the state.

“We were getting ready to get bees onto almond pollination,” said beekeeper Dennis Howard.

“What we do this time of year is check for strength and diseases, then load them up for appropriate jobs,” he said.

Arthur gets a new smoke alarm

However, the new order states that beekeepers aren’t allowed to move anything off their premises, and even prevents keepers from opening hives on their properties.

Vice president of Amateur Beekeepers Australia (ABA), Sue Carney said “it means we can’t move our bees anywhere or perform any routine beekeeping tasks right now.

“We’re hoping the order is only temporary, and that authorities can quickly stamp out varroa,” she said.

Mr Howard explained that every almond we eat needs to be visited by a bee.

“It takes four weeks to prepare everything for almond pollination,” said Mr Howard. But with pollination of almonds set to start this month, the industry is at a standstill.

“230,000 hives are supposed to be moved onto almond orchards in three weeks’ time. We don’t know if the Victorian department of primary industries have made decisions if they’re shutting NSW out of Victoria, and from talks with people up in Queensland they aren’t moving either.

“One third of our livelihood is based on having bees ready for pollination.

We need those weeks to prepare.”

The best-case scenario as described by Mr Howard would be to see the department get on top of the mite, and see the eradication plan work. Or, Mr Howard would want to see them quickly decide its endemic, and everyone can put preventative systems such as pest strips into their hives.

“This would have been better after Christmas! Almond pollination is the fi rst part of the bee keeping year. When we come off the almonds, bees go to the pollination of sunflower for seeds, cherry orchards, fruits, all kind of things until Christmas.

“Between now and then is when we do most of our work.”

While frustrating, the ABA agrees that stopping the movement of the bees is vital to keeping the Varroa mite at bay.

“While it’s painful right now, it’s really heartening to see the beekeeping community really rallying round to help. Beekeepers understand the vital importance of a quick and strong response, and desperately want to avoid a major outbreak,” said Ms Carney.

More updates to come.

Little Big Dairy wins big awards

By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE central west’s Big Little Dairy (LBD) Company is celebrating after winning a slew of industry awards in the space of one week last month.

The single-source dairy company just 25 kilometres east of Narromine walked away with a prize in every category of the Dairy Industry Association of Australia’s (DIAA) recent NSW product competition in late June. They then followed up with a major award at the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) of NSW last week.

The DIAA awarded the company’s entire product range either Gold or Silver awards last week. Its Double Cream product not only walked away with the Champion Cream award at the DIAA but collected the same gong at the RAS NSW awards on June 27.

The Narromine Star spoke to LBD’s Business Development Manager, Campbell Chesworth, following the company’s latest award.

“It was a great night to be with people in the industry, to get that recognition that we’ve had once before for the cream, and it was really good validation to get it again,” Mr Chesworth said.

The LBD team went into the DIAA product competition not expecting to do as well as they did, Mr Chesworth said. They were confident in their products but didn’t expect the final result which was announced at a dinner in Sydney as part of a DIAA conference.

The RAS NSW recognised Australia’s top producers at the 2022 Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show in the harbour city a few days later on June 27.

These awards and the resulting exposure will potentially bring new business to the company.

“It’s a validation to us as well as the market that we really are a high quality, premium brand which wins awards,” Mr Chesworth said.

As a single-source operation, every facet of production is handled on the farm including milking, bottling and distribution. The company’s herd of 800 Holstein cattle, which produce 11 million litres of milk each year, are well cared

“The really special thing about our herd is that my Dad and brother have this amazing ability to remember every cow they’ve ever milked and their whole progeny line. That’s pretty cool,” Mr Chesworth said.

The family operation includes parents Steve and Erika Chesworth, daughter Emma Elliott, sons Campbell and Duncan, and Duncan’s wife, Danielle. They are supported by a team of about 60 staff including farm and factory workers, distribution and salespeople, all of whom are excited about LBD’s award success.

“It’s really great affirmation for what everyone does, and what’s really cool about LBD is that we have control all the way through the supply chain.

“It’s not only an award for the farm but also for the factory, the handling of the product and the farming practices that go into all of that.

“When everyone who’s involved in all the steps takes great ownership of what they do, it’s awesome for the team.

They’re stoked.”

Mr Chesworth expressed

thanks to the company’s supporter base, particularly locals who have embraced their products which are available in a number of Narromine shire businesses and the supermarket.

“We have a really supportive customer base both locally in the Narromine/Dubbo area and also throughout NSW and Canberra. [The news of our awards] has been really well received,” he said.

“We’re nothing without the community and we’re really appreciative of the support that they’ve given us since we started processing our own milk nearly ten years ago.

“We are working towards becoming Australia’s fi rst circular dairy, promoting and putting into practice the care we have for our cows, the community and conservation for the land we’re working on,” Mr Chesworth said.

The family is certainly delivering on their goal to bring the best tasting single-source milk to as many people as possible. Over 100,000 litres of fresh bottled milk is delivered from the family dairy direct to customers across NSW and the ACT each week.

Congratulations, Little Big Dairy Company!

Narromine sculptor to exhibit in Mudgee

By SHARON BONTHUYS WORKS by Narromine sculptor Nikki McCutcheon will be featured in a new exhibition opening this weekend at the internationally acclaimed Rosby Gallery near Mudgee.

The exhibition titled “Characters of Landscape” will include recent clay sculptures by the lifelong Narromine resident as well as montaged landscape paintings

by Mudgee artist Rachel Melchers.

Ms McCutcheon will attend the exhibition opening on Saturday afternoon at the Eurunderee gallery, where she aims to sell her works.

Specialising in figurative sculpture, often creating voluptuous figures embracing within the environment, Ms McCutcheon designs works that will eventually find a loving home in someone’s garden. The pieces are large and extremely heavy when completed, and can be difficult to lift at times.

“The figures have a landscape texture and will rust on the outside,” she said.

This is not the fi rst time Ms McCutcheon has exhibited her work at the prestigious Rosby Gallery.

She has exhibited at Ros-

by’s annual Sculptures in the Garden event, now in its eleventh year, and will be back there again in October. She has also made works for charity art shows and other good causes.

“At times I have also had my work on display in Soul Food Depot,” she said.

Next year she will contribute to an exhibition by Nerida Barber in Warren.

Sculpting is something Ms McCutcheon has enjoyed for the past twenty years, she told the Narromine Star.

“I started out learning to draw and paint, as most people do. But I wanted to get into 3D (three-dimensional) art and I do like clay,” she said, crediting the Trangie Central School with giving her a start in the industry, enabling her to undertake a pottery course there as an adult.

“I learnt about clay and just got addicted to hand building sculptures.”

And does she have a favourite piece?

“The last one made is always the favourite,” she laughed.

Curated by Kay Norton-Knight, the Characters of Landscape exhibition will run for a month at the Rosby Gallery.

A sculpture by Nikki McCutcheon called ‘mumma and small baby’.

A piece called ‘one knee up sitting’.

Remembering the Montevideo Maru maritime disaster: commemorations in Canberra

High Commissioner and Norwegian Ambassador at the ceremony.

PHOTOS: PATRICK BOURKE.

Contributed by PATRICK BOURKE I AM pleased to share my report and thoughts about the commemorative events in Canberra last week, to mark the 80th Anniversary of the sinking of the Montevideo Maru during World War II. These events were organized by the Papua New Guinea Association of Australia (PNGAA) in association with the Australian War Memorial (AWM) and the Australian Army.

The 80th Anniversary Commemorative Service, was held on Friday, July 1, 2022, at 11.30am, at the Stone of Remembrance, Australian War Memorial in memory of the soldiers and civilians captured in Rabaul and the New Guinea Islands during that confl ict.

A number of dignitaries including The Honourable Richard Marles, Australian Deputy Prime Minister, and the Papua New Guinea High Commissioner for Australia, as well as many of the relatives of those who died on the Montevideo Maru attended.

The commemorative address was given by Colonel James Kidd DSM CSM, representing the Chief of the Army. Colonel

Kidd has just returned to Australia after a three-year posting as the Defence Attaché at the Australian High Commission in Port Moresby.

He spoke about the significance of this wartime commemoration and his time, during his PNG posting, spent on the island of New Britain and at Rabaul from where the Montevideo Maru sailed on June 22, 1942, with over 1000 Australian civilian and military prisoners of war.

After Colonel Kidd’s speech, wreaths were laid at the memorial, led by The Honourable Richard Marles who laid the wreath on the behalf of the Australian Prime Minister.

I was honoured to lay a wreath on the behalf of the 1st Independent Company which lost 133 of their men on the Montevideo Maru. One of these commandos was Lloyd Sibraa, my father’s cousin, born in 1919. Another was William Everingham of Narromine, who was also just 23 when he died in the sinking, as reported in last week’s Narromine Star.

Both the national anthems of Papua New Guinea and Australia were sung during the commemorative service. Country singer Kylie Adams-Collier, whose grand-

father died as an Australian civilian on the Montevideo Maru, also sang her poignant song titled “Montevideo Maru 1942”.

Amongst the attendees at the commemorative service was Laloma Puls whose father is listed as an Australian civilian who died on the Montevideo Maru on 1st July 1942.

With her mother she was evacuated to Melbourne at the beginning of 1942, just weeks before the Japanese invasion of Rabaul on January 23, 1942.

She is still emotionally affected by the loss of her father on the Montevideo Maru.

On the evening of July 1, an 80th Anniversary Dinner was held in Canberra, attended by over 100 relatives of the Australians who died on the Montevideo Maru. His Excellency Mr John Kali CMG OBE, PNG High Commissioner to Australia, gave a brief address. He spoke warmly about the close relationship that PNG and Australia have and both countries’ national anthems were sung.

The guest speaker was Professor David Horner AM, emeritus professor in Strategic and Defence Studies at the Australian National University. A Professor of Australian Defence History for fi fteen

Professor Horner has written or co-written 37 books and numerous articles on military history, strategy and defence, including a book on the Pacific war. Professor Horner spoke about the big picture of the war in the Pacific, including the strategies used by the Australian Governments to defend Australia during the 1930s and early 1940s.

His speech was well received. Hopefully, Australian

Governments and the Defence Forces will learn from past poor military strategies.

The relatives of the Australian men lost on the Montevideo Maru who attended the dinner shared information with each other. It was good to see the number of young people at the dinner. I sat with the relatives of a 1st Independent Company serviceman who died on the Montevideo Maru. There were three generations of relatives of this serviceman at my table.

Lest we forget.

Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said the program will support organisations to engage experts when developing business cases for new project ideas.

“This is about helping make your business cases stand out,” he said. “It will help you clearly break down the costs of these ideas, outline how it will Dugald Saunders benefit the community and at the same time identify any challenges that may be in the way.”

Funding will be available under two streams, with up to $19 million for regionally significant economic and community development projects, and up to $5 million for business cases that create opportunities for economic and community empowerment of Aboriginal people.

The fund is part of the $3.3 billion Regional Growth Fund, and will help organisations build a pipeline of investment ready projects for future funding opportunities.

Trangie juniors get to judge at Agricultural Research Centre

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE wet weather may have played havoc with other events around the shire, but the much anticipated Trangie Junior Judging Day went ahead at the Trangie Agricultural Research Centre on July 4.

This year the program included six sections: beef cattle, Merino sheep, meat sheep (Border Leicesters and Poll Dorsets), Merino fleeces, cotton, and grains.

The day was a great success and we’ll bring you a full wrap up and some photos in next week’s Narromine Star.

The Macquarie River has been impacted in recent days by heavy rainfall further upstream. The low-level Troy Bridge just downstream of Dubbo was closed by 10am on Monday morning. At that time, water was already flowing over the bridge well ahead of the river’s peak in Dubbo late on Monday afternoon. PHOTO: PANSCOTT MEDIA.

Weather experts reveal key climate drivers behind record rainfall Report by THE BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY THE heavy rainfall along the eastern NSW coast that has led to major flooding in some catchments over the past week can be linked to changes to several climate drivers.

While the Bureau of Meteorology's latest climate driver update confi rms the 2021-22 La Niña has ended, there are several other climate influences associated with above-average rainfall in eastern Australia.

The Bureau's 2022 winter outlook showed above average rainfall over the coming months, particularly for most of eastern and northern Australia, due to warmer than usual waters around the continent and more moisture-fi lled air be-

ing directed into eastern Australia.

The July rainfall event was influenced by the Indian Ocean Dipole, likely to become negative in the coming months, and the positive Southern Annular Mode (SAM).

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) refers to the difference in sea surface temperatures between the western and eastern Indian Ocean. In the negative phase, warmer waters concentrate near Australia, leading to above average winter-spring rainfall as more moisture is available to weather systems crossing the continent.

The SAM refers to the non-seasonal, north-south movement of the strong westerly winds that blow almost continuously in the mid- to high-latitudes of

the southern hemisphere.

In the positive phase, the SAM directs more moisture-fi lled air than usual into eastern Australia, driving above average rainfall and more east coast lows in winter.

During this recent rainfall event, very warm waters off the Australian coast (21-23°C) provided extra energy and moisture contributing to the deep trough and east coast low, leading to the relative concentration of the heavy rainfall to one 24-hour period.

The Campbelltown gauge in Sydney, with more than 30 years of data, recorded its highest ever daily total rainfall amount for any month, while six gauges with more than 100 years of observations have set a record four-day total

Today’s teens never seem to get off their books... Hallelujah!

Th e Book Connection 178 Macquarie Street, Dubbo • OPEN 7 DAYS

for July.

Dozens of gauges from Nowra on the South Coast to Newcastle and the Hunter Valley have set daily rainfall records for July.

The highest four-day totals, which are over 400mm at many sites, have been observed across the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment including at: Darkes Forest; Beaumont; Robertson; Audley; Albion Park; and Fitzroy Falls.

Closer to home, whilst the western region had nowhere near the rainfall tallies our coastal cousins endured, the fi rst six days of July have already seen 50.8mm fall at the Dubbo gauge, and a relatively minor tally of 5.2mm at the Trangie gauge over the same period. f Addtional reporting by Narromine Star.

Canberra meetings a success ON Monday, June 22, I had the honour and privilege of meeting with the Ambassador for The Philippines, Her Excellency, Madam Hellen De La Vega, at the embassy in Canberra.

I was very humbled by the reception given and the manner in which my message was received. Her Excellency was so very gracious and welcoming and both Australia and the Philippines are the beneficiaries of her appointment and important role in Canberra.

The meeting was part of three engagements I’d organised to make the trip worthwhile and my message to the Ambassador was focused on Narromine’s interest in having her countrymen come to us and work alongside locals

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

Funding for nine volunteer groups VOLUNTEERS are the lifeblood of towns and villages throughout the Parkes electorate, so I was pleased to last week announce an additional $31 760 in funding has been approved to support a further nine community groups, under a reserve phase of the Australian Government’s 2021 Volunteer Grants program.

The recipients of the 2021 Volunteer Grants Reserve Phase include Binnaway Show Society ($4500), Broken Hill Community Incorporated ($2090), Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia – Gunnedah ($4500), Broken Hill Golf Club ($2250), Gunnedah Urban Landcare Group ($4500), RAW Impact International Limited ($5000), RiverSmart Australia Limited – Warren ($2240), Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie Incorporated ($1680), and The Corpo-

in our shire.

With the jobs being created in our shire over the next decade expected to reach 15-1800, the possibility of fi lling them from within our shores is remote.

Already, Filipinos make up 120,000 of the NSW population and are admired for their skills, their ability and willingness to integrate, their work ethic and their peace loving approach to life.

I have since made preliminary plans to have the Ambassador and other Filipino delegates come to our shire for a fi rsthand experience. It is a wonderful opportunity to ensure some of the roles being created can be fi lled by skilled staff who can become a part of our community.

My other meetings involved Inland Rail, and the reassurances that the new Federal Government is anxious to get the project back on time and budget and having new eyes on the project will be a bonus.

Following this, I met with the New England Renewable Energy Zone Councils to discuss their initiatives to derive benefits from the developrate Trustees of the Diocese of Armidale on behalf of the Warialda Anglican Church ($5000).

Following a difficult few years with COVID-19 impacting regular fundraising opportunities, our volunteer groups are now feeling the pinch of the rising cost of living, so I know these small grants will be particularly welcomed, and I hope they go some way to easing pressures.

I’d like to thank the grant recipients, and all volunteer groups in the Parkes electorate, for the wonderful work they do for the community.

A 2022 Volunteer Grants funding round will open later this year.

ments within their area. Given that we are becoming a more attractive destination for this type of investment we should explore all options in seeking out long term benefits for our residents.

Really pleasing to have a series of productive meetings, particularly in Canberra.

Council has very recently received notice from Department of Planning and Environment of our successful approach to now call for tenders for the next stages of our proposed levee. The scope of works involved includes: f Confi rmation of adopted levee alignment f Stakeholder consultation f Concept design of levee including geo tech and preliminary environment study f Detail design of levee and environmental studies f Cost estimate Is it any wonder infrastructure proposals of this nature can take two lifetimes? It is a step forward and I can only thank our staff for having more patience than I do.

Orientation week for new MPs

2021 Census data released

THE fi rst data from the 2021 Census was released last week, providing a valuable snapshot of information about Australians and the economic, social and cultural make-up of the country.

Undertaken every five years by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Census counts every person and household in Australia, and helps us understand what we need now and into the future.

Census data is used by governments, businesses, commu-

nity groups and not-for-profit organisations to make important decisions. It informs planning for schools, health care, transport and infrastructure, and is also used to help plan local services for individuals, families and communities.

It’s always interesting to see how we are changing as a country, and within our communities.

In the Parkes electorate, the total population as of August 2021 was 154 967. The median age is 39 and there are on

ORGANISATIONS, councils, not-for-profits, and Aboriginal community groups across the Narromine region with great ideas for infrastructure or regionally significant opportunities can help make them a reality, thanks to the NSW Government’s new $24 million Regional NSW – Business Case and Strategy Development Fund.

I strongly encourage all potential applicants to think about what ideas they have,

Next month brings new developments and I look forward to sharing them with you at the end of July.

Craig Davies, Narromine Shire Mayor

look at this fund, and see how it may be able to help not only their organisation but the whole community.

This is about helping make your business cases stand out!

It will help you clearly break down the costs of these ideas, outline how it will benefit the community and at the same time identify any challenges that may be in the way.

APPLICATIONS are now open

average 2.4 people per household and 1.9 motor vehicles per dwelling. The median weekly household income is $1 410.

A total of 25 343 people in the Parkes electorate (16.4 per cent) are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Just over 81 per cent of people in the electorate were born in Australia. The next highest country of birth was England, followed by India, the Philippines, New Zealand and Nepal.

Interestingly, Nepali is the top language used at home oth-

for the NSW Government’s Clubgrants program. Infrastructure Grants can fund construction, alteration, renovation, completion and fit-out of buildings and community infrastructure.

In previous rounds we’ve funded improvements right across the Dubbo electorate, including helping to create an outdoor community activity hub near Cale Oval in Narromine.

IT was good to catch up with all the new Members of Parliament during their orientation at Parliament House last week. This is an opportunity for all newly-elected Members to familiarise themselves with Parliament House, set up their offices and fi nd out more about Parliamentary processes, getting legislation developed and what’s involved in their role as an MP. As someone who’s been there for nearly 15 years, I was able to provide advice to the new members from all parties.

It’s always nice to see new faces after each election – that’s the nature of our Parliament and is what keeps our democracy strong.

The grants are about connecting the community, fostering participation in sport, recreation and arts, and boosting social inclusion and disaster resilience.

I’d urge everyone who is part of a community or sporting group to think about any eligible projects you might want to undertake, and look into applying.

Until next time, Dugald

Apex club adventures: Memories of the late Richard “Dick” Duff Contributed by EWEN JONES, LIFE MEMBER OF (FORMER) APEX CLUB, NARROMINE I moved back to Narromine in 1988 to buy the Narromine Taxi Service. The taxi rank at that time was right out the front of Richard (Dick) Duff ’s butcher shop. Dick had two Ford Econovans, one blue with RD plates, one yellow with JD plates.

I joined Apex in Parkes in 1983, and transferred into the Narromine Apex Club in 1988.

I must say that the Narromine was a much more relaxed club than Parkes...

The good thing about Apex was that when you moved from town to town, you had instant mates, like I certainly did, many of whom I still stay in contact with.

Dick and I would have many a yarn when I was waiting for taxi customers, standing in the doorway of Dick’s shop. He used to call me “Spew”, and did so up until the last conversation we had. There is a story about the Spew thing, ask me later...

I’d like to share some of my fondest memories of Dick from our time together in Apex.

Dick was passionate about an Apex event that comes to mind, a raft race on the Macquarie River where anyone could enter a manpowered craft and compete.

The club spent a few weekends and nights constructing a craft from half a dozen 44-gallon (205-litre) drums and it had a foot operated paddle wheel at the back. It was not unlike a paddle steamer that you would have seen on the Mississippi River.

Dick had stated at a dinner meeting before the race that if Apex did not win, someone could stick a pineapple where the sun didn’t shine.

With the fi nishing line in sight on race day, Dick made the comment that we were going to win this hands down.

Someone mentioned that fi rst prize was a trophy with a fish

Richard “Dick” Duff at his Narromine Butchery. PHOTO: PANSCOTT MEDIA/FILE head mounted on a piece of timber but second prize was a carton of beer.

Dick was wondering why we suddenly lost speed and looked around to see that everyone was pedalling backwards. Second prize was ours!

I then ordered a new dinner badge: Dr P Iles – “Proctologist”. Our dinner badges used to have our name, and occupation on them. I borrowed some scrubs from the hospital, complete with rubber gloves of course, and arrived at an Apex meeting, with a pineapple...

Dick was very amused!!

For every Apex Venetian Carnival, fundraising event including Natfly, chalet trips etc, Dick would provide hams and meat, always at cost or discounted price. I remember Dick telling me that someone once asked why he didn’t have big houses, boats and cars like the other butchers in town?

His reply: “I am too generous”.

How very true!

Dick used to donate 60 sausages every year for the Nar-

romine Fire Station Open Day BBQ as well, just another example of his generosity, and community spirit. He was also very good at coming up with ideas to promote events.

Apex ran a Venetian Carnival each December at the Narromine pool. Dick came up with the idea of having a man-eating shark in the pool and this was a big part of the advertising. It was the biggest crowd that we had for many years with a record number being there at the time the shark was to be released into the pool.

Three Apex members carried a tarp in and unrolled it into the pool to reveal fellow member Roger Sampson eating a piece of fish from the local café. The crowd were not amused...

Dick also came up with the concept to hold an Apex night golf competition and actually scored a hole-in-one on the fi rst night!

In 1990, Dick decided it was time I had a go at being Pres-

ident of the Narromine Apex Club. He did up signs saying “Vote 1 for Spew”. I was elected unopposed. In 2021, I nominated as a Councillor for Narromine Shire Council. Nine nominations for nine positions meant we did not need to hold an election. I asked Dick if he could be my campaign manager at the next Council election...

When Dick reached the magical age of 40, he had to retire from Apex. He was awarded “Senior Active” Membership of the Apex Club of Narromine, but certainly continued to support the club until it sadly closed in 2012. Dick enjoyed many nights at the Apex “tree of knowledge”, where many stories were shared and some were even true!

We learned that Dick had been a member of the Rebels Motorcycle Club in his younger days. The 1993 Apex changeover when Dick retired was held at the bowling club, when it still had a hall.

Jenny found Dick’s old Re-

bels jacket, and we put on a skit where a few of us rode push bikes around the bowling club hall, and we got Dick to wear his Rebels jacket. After the changeover, Richard donated his jacket back to the Dubbo Rebels Motorbike Club. Not long after, the Rebels Clubhouse was burnt to the ground.

I never saw Dick get too upset, and if he did it was always forgotten by the end of the meeting, when we all had a beer or two.

Dick was a true gentleman, a great father, loving husband, and the proudest grandfather, having a photo of all his grandchildren in his shop. He was a very valued member of Apex, the Narromine business community, and was very much loved and respected by his many loyal customers.

Dick most certainly made the best sausages and rissoles in Narromine!!

Dick did share a story with me about his early butcher days. A lady came in for a leg of lamb but there was only one leg of lamb in the shop. The lady said it was too small. Dick went back to the cool room, returned with the same leg of lamb, which the lady said was much better. Ha ha!

The last members of the Narromine Apex Club have donated $500 to the Chris O’Brien Lighthouse, as requested by Dick’s family, and are also making a donation to the Narromine Cancer Support Group as well.

Craig and Stewart used to babysit my children – they should be very proud to have a fantastic father like Dick. I know you will miss Dick very much, but I am sure he will always be in your hearts, and all of our hearts as well.

At each Apex meeting we used to say: “For good food, for good fellowship, and the privilege to serve, we give thanks”.

I am sure you would all agree it has been a pleasure and privilege to have known Richard Stewart Duff.

Mungery morning tea and markets a success despite rain

By SHARON BONTHUYS RAIN forced the relocation of the much anticipated Mungery Biggest Morning Tea and Markets to its back up venue at Soul Food Depot last Sunday.

The organising committee had been looking forward to welcoming Narromine Shire locals out to their patch of green at Mungery, keen to show off their renovations and new additions.

Sadly the days of incessant rain in the lead up to the event made that impossible. However, folks did come to Narromine and support the event in droves, raising funds for local cancer support in the process.

“A fantastic crowd turned up considering the miserable day it was,” said coordinator Jen Newbigging.

“A huge thank you to all the helpers, stall holders and businesses who made generous donations, and to the public for coming out to support such an important cause. An amazing $4 496 was raised for Narromine Cancer Support,” Ms Newbigging said.

Patrons enjoyed browsing the market stalls selling plants, books, jewellery, artwork, clothing, and candles from a range of local area providers, and even award winning Blue Sky cheese products all the way from Mendooran.

The ‘white elephant’ stall operated by Mungery resident Judy Baillie was a popular stall, as was the Mungery produce stall staffed by sisters Thea Finlayson, Annette Sadgrove and Narrelle Beck.

Youngest stall holders were Henry McIntyre, 7, and Annabelle Gibbs, 8, whose Mungery Made items included library bags, bookmarks and fresh-cut kindling. One of the oldest exhibitors, Tom Carney, 81, demonstrated his belt and keyring making skills using kangaroo hide.

Overseeing it all from their space near the coffee stand were the “Mungery Stalwarts”, long time residents and octagenarians Pat Hartin, Gordon McIntyre, Ian Williamson and Norton Gill.

“I’ve been to every Mungery event,” Mr Gill told the Narromine Star.

“It’s a wonderful day despite the rain,” Ms Hartin said.

Narromine hospital auxiliary thanks donors

By SHARON BONTHUYS IT was cold, wet and windy but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary who gathered last Friday at the multipurpose health service (MPHS) to thank supporters and donors.

The special event took place in the grounds of the MPHS on July 1. It enabled the hard working auxiliary to thank those who have helped the group donate $25,000 worth of much needed items and equipment during the past three and a half years.

Welcome to Country was performed by Ruth Carney and speakers included Auxiliary President Daphne Johnson, current and previous Health Service Managers Sanu Joy and Julie Kirk, Nurse Manager Grace Allen, medical officer Dr Andrew Caldin, Narromine Shire Council director Phil Johnston, Robyn Jones and Anne Shearman. Certificates of appreciation were also presented.

“The Hospital Auxiliary motto is ‘let us hold high the lamp of service for the welfare

of our hospital,’” Ms Johnson told those gathered. “I believe, like our auxiliary members, you also care about the welfare of our hospital and you have demonstrated this directly or indirectly by your generosity and time.”

Through its fundraising efforts including raffles and street stalls selling donated goods, the auxiliary has been able to provide a number of important items for use within the Narromine MPHS. “People [have donated] cakes, craft, plants and vegetables to our street stalls. Occasionally we even have people who just walk past our raffle sellers and drop money on the table and say, ‘I don’t want tickets, just put that in your coffers. That’s a good hospital we’ve got up there now,’”, Ms Johnson said, thanking community groups including the line dancers, lady bowlers, the Women’s Shed, Mudyigalang Many Hands Craft Group, for their support, as well as businesses including Narromine Pharmacy, Coles, Regional Bank, Bunnings and Dan Murphy’s, and supporter Jan Buswell.

Masonic Care and the Masonic Lodges Narromine and Macquarie donated $12 000 to the auxiliary to obtain a bladder scanner to detect urinary problems in a patient’s bladder.

“Sanu tells me this is an extremely useful piece of equipment and has been used regularly since it arrived. Not many small hospitals have them,” Ms Johnson said.

“Thank you, Masonic Care and the Masonic Lodges Narromine and Macquarie.”

Earlier this year the Narromine Star interviewed Neil Richardson, who was instrumental in obtaining the blad-

der scanner in memory of his late wife, Jenny.

When Jenny was in Narromine hospital two years ago, Mr Richardson learnt the facility did not have a bladder scanner. Together with his daughter Cindy Riordan, a registered nurse, Mr Richardson raised $6000 through the Masonic Lodges Narromine and Macquarie, which was matched by their parent organisation.

This enabled the purchase of Those assembled for the special event at the Narromine MPHS. the bladder scanner for the hospital.

“This machine means patients don’t have to go to Dubbo for this test to be conducted, and it means less invasive procedures,” said Sanu Joy, HSM. Alkane Tomingley Gold Operations donated $5 000 and Narromine Shire Council $1 000, which have purchased a syringe driver, bed and chair alarm monitor, and an advanced life training simulator. These items are expected to arrive in the near future, said Ms Johnson, who thanked both organisations for making this possible.

Narromine Preschool introduces maths concepts. PHOTO: NARROMINE PRESCHOOL. Contributed by MELISSA BARRY, EDUCATOR MISS Mel and Miss Lakeisha from Narromine Preschool have recently attended the “Let’s Count” professional development training days in Dubbo, with educators from other centres.

“Let’s Count” is an early mathematics program for children aged three to five years

old, developed by The Smith Family along with Professor Bob Perry from Charles Sturt University and Associate Professor Ann Gervasoni from Monash University.

The program supports parents and early years educators to develop the math skills of children by noticing, exploring and talking about numbers, counting, measurement and patterns in their daily lives.

The training allowed the educators to explore mathematical concepts and how we can develop these important skills in the years before the children go to school. The educators were able to share the ways that we explore mathematics in our learning environments with other early childhood professionals from our area.

Here are a few simple ways to extend your child’s math con-

Sport Harding wins the Elaine Ashdown memorial trophy Contributed by DALE HARDING LAST Wednesday was lunch and presentations for June. We all played nine holes for the Elaine Ashdown memorial trophy, donated by the solo ladies. A big thank you to Jean Richardson for the lovely patchwork dog that she made which was won by Dale Harding with 22 points.

A grade ball winner was Gail White with 19 points, C grade ball winner was Peta Ferrari with 19 points.

Balls were won by Kim Handsaker on 19, Wendy Jeffery on 18 and Judy Heckendorf on 17 points.

Nearest the pin on the 10th was Vicki Gainsford and at the 17th Wendy Jeffery was only a metre from the hole.

The drawn card was won

by Barbie Tuck.

Saturday was damp and cold, only five people played “hidden holes” for a trophy donated by Robyn Jones. The trophy winner was Vicki Gainsford and the 18-hole winner was Michelle Ashdown. Nearest the pin on the 9th was Vicki Gainsford and at the 17th, Michelle Ashdown. The drawn card was won by Anne Harmer.

Next Wednesday we are playing the fi rst round of the Burgess Cup for a trophy donated by Sue McCutcheon. On Saturday we are playing the second round of the Burgess Cup for a trophy donated

by Maida O’Mally. For the month of July, our nearest to the pin will be awarded for the second shot. Hoping the weather will improve.

Narromine bowls washed out Contributed by RICK BOHM ONCE again Mother Nature was to the forefront last week, putting a “kybosh” on any bowls over the weekend.

The fi nal of the Club Fours will now have an enforced hiatus, with a number of key personnel unavailable to play this match for at least a couple of weeks.

But rest assured, this event will be played as soon as practicable.

Social bowls this week saw Des Lincoln and Greg Wright get all the chocolates on offer, as the number of starters weren’t flash enough to afford a runners up cheque.

The Zone 4 Men’s Pennant Season kicks off on the fi rst weekend in August and to that end the club has organised a trial match against Dubbo Macquarie on Saturday, July 23, in Dubbo.

Nomination forms are available for those interested in Playing Pennants for the club.

This year the men will be playing in Division 3 against Nyngan, Bourke and West Dubbo commencing Sunday, August 7, and running over six consecutive weekends.

If interested, put your name down so the selectors have a rough idea of numbers and can organise some teams.

Well this is it for me for this week.

Let’s hope the weather improves and allows us to get on the paddock a couple of times at least this week.

The other Harding also wins Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Wednesday on a very fresh afternoon, some nine brave golfers attacked the front nine of the Narromine course in the weekly Gerries golf competition.

It was good to see Chris “Pom” Harding back in the winners list. Pom has battled since his operation, but returned to form on Wednesday with a very good score of 26 points. He will no doubt incur the wrath of the handicapper for his effort.

Runner up on the day was Terry Willis with 24 points. At one stage he had the NAGA prize in the bag but recovered to record a score of 24 points. The NAGA went to Alan Kearines on 15 points. Isn’t it funny how you can win one week then take the NAGA the next week?

After the presentation, all enjoyed some olive nibbles thanks to Col Shephardson. It was then off to the pool table where only one match in the pool comp was played. Greg Kearines and Chris Harding were up against Bob Fletcher and Terry Willis. Kearines and Harding started as favourites and sank the fi rst few balls leaving their opponents clutching at straws. However, they were able to stay in the game and eventually win when Fletch sank the black with his usual efficiency. Willis and Fletcher claimed the title of pool champs for the week.

Remember the Gerries play their comp every Wednesday afternoon. All are welcome to come and have an enjoyable game of golf. See you all on the Chris “Pom” Harding won the Gerries’ golf 10th Tee. comp last week. PHOTO: GREG KEARINES.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH RUGBY LEAGUE ROUND 10

Panthers bag Boronia!

Contributed by BRYSON LUFF A FLURRY of points to the Gilgandra Panthers in the opening minutes of their Boronia Cup game at Dunedoo against the Swans proved to be the fi nal difference between the two sides. The Panthers scored at more than a point a minute to establish an 18 points to nil lead with just 15 minutes of the match elapsed.

As it turned out, the flair shown by the Panthers in attack during that opening period not only proved to be the difference on the scoreboard at the end, but also provided the majority of the entertainment that was to be forthcoming in what was otherwise a very dour affair played on a heavy track.

After the visitors’ initial onslaught, the game turned in to an arm wrestle and the 18 to nil score line was carried through to the half time break. After that, the Swans’ faithful were given some cause for hope of a resurgence when their fullback, Will Wood, scored early after play resumed.

But their joy was short lived when the Panthers went on to claim another two tries, one converted, to take them out to 28 points.

The Swans however did score another converted try late in proceedings to make the fi nal score 28 to 10, the damage infl icted by the Panthers in the opening stages of the game proving to be the fi nal difference between the two sides.

The win by Gilgandra sets up a blockbuster Boronia Cup game against the Cobar Roosters in Gilgandra next Saturday.

The Roosters avenged their loss to the Gulgong earlier in the season with a hard-fought win over the Terriers at Cobar, having to come from behind to claim the competition points with a 24 to 16 victory.

At one stage the visitors had the home side on the back foot, trailing 10 points to nil, before the Roosters slowly worked their way back into the game with once again, the 2021 Castlereagh League Player Of The Year, Thomas Plater, playing a major role in the victory.

The win by Cobar sees them retain their fi rst place on the competition ladder, a position that they will be hell bent on retaining this Saturday when they travel to Gilgandra to take on the second placed Panthers in a match that should pack out Gil’s McGrane Oval.

On the League Tag front,

the Gilgandra Pink Panthers scored a major upset when they downed the Dunedoo Swannettes 28 to 22 at Dunedoo last Saturday, throwing the competition wide open, whilst Gulgong and Narromine retained their positions in the top four with wins over Cobar and Binnaway respectively.

Apart from the big Boronia Cup clash in Gilgandra this Saturday two local derbies will feature in round 11 of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition with southern neighbours Gulgong and Dunedoo playing at Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval and a northern derby between Coonamble and Baradine taking place in Coonamble (with a 4.00pm kick off for the fi rst game).

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES Rodger Waters, who has stables on his property at Wantabadgery and trains his team at nearby Wagga Wagga, won the Nyngan Toyota Duck Creek Picnic Cup on Saturday with Kaipaki.

Held at Nyngan with a huge crowd attending, the 1250 metres cup had some early drama when the well fancied Dubbo galloper Bandahara became a late scratching after being slightly injured when leaving the mounting yard.

Kaipaki had recently won

a Benchmark 58 race at Towong in Victoria and was a last start fourth in TAB company at Albury, those performances earning $2.90 favouritism at Duck Creek.

Ridden by Emily Waters, the daughter of Tumbarumba trainer Mont Waters, Kaipaki led all the way when winning by over five lengths from Harry And The Duke (Ricky Blewitt, $5) with more than seven lengths to the third placed Rogue Runner (Michael Gray, $5).

Present at the meeting was retired jockey Glen Boss who along with the great mare Makybe Diva achieved legendary status with an unlikely to be repeated three Melbourne Cup wins, however another legend playing a leading role at Nyngan was the long-time successful local trainer Rodney Robb.

To the delight of his many

supporters the very well-liked Rodney Robb led in a winning treble with Sons Of Bourke, Knee Slapper, and Tintern Power.

Owned by a group of keen racing fans from Bourke, the aptly named Sons Of Bourke (Emily Waters, $2.80) from well back, steamed down the outside to snatch victory by a nose from Tell’s Tails (Will Stanley, $2.20 favourite) with Japingka (Ricky Bewitt, $6) a handy third in the 900 metres Rob Ellison Open Trophy Handicap.

Michael Gray made the most of a late engagement to ride Knee Slapper for Rodney Robb in the 1250 metres Aspect Property Class B Handicap.

Leading picnic jockeys Leandro Ribeiro and Wayne Wheatley had to be replaced at late notice on their booked rides when their plane fl ight was unable to leave Sydney.

Knee Slapper (Michael Gray, $3.60) led throughout for a comfortable win from Drunkasamonkey (Ricky Blewitt, $3) and Mega Celebration (Will Stanley, $2.30 favourite) In front from the outset, Tintern Power (Michael Gray, $2.10 favourite) owned by Wayne Brown became the third leg of the Rodney Robb treble when a runaway winner of the 1600 metres Woodham Petroleum Class 1 Trophy Handicap from Miss Twenty Two (Emily Waters, $3) and Stone (Will Stanley, $4.40).

Former Nyngan trainer Garry Bignell is now based at Cunnamulla, and he returned from Queensland to land a winning double with Tip Toes and Oxygen Man. Wayne Wheatley was to ride both the Bignell runners but missed out due to the plane cancellation from Sydney.

Bathurst rider Will Stanley

took over on Tip Toes ($2 favourite) which was third early before clearing out to win the 900 metres Fiveways Legal Maiden Plate by nearly six lengths from Gift Of Time (Michael Gray, $7) and St Cloud Femme (Emily Waters, $3.60).

In the 900 metres Lawlab Class 2 Trophy Handicap, Magnetic Rose led from Combogolong before Oxygen Man (Breanna Bourke, $8.50) fi nished best to account for Combogolong (Ricky Blewitt, $2.70) and Travstar (Emily Waters, $2.20 favourite).

There are only two more picnic meetings, Wean this month and Cobar in August, before the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final on Coonamble Cup day in October.

Presently, Dubbo trainer Connie Greig has six of the top 12 in the qualifying pointscore for the fi nal.

Hattah Desert Race done and dusted for 2022 Contributed by LUKE HARDING OVER 700 riders turned out for the Australian Hattah Desert Race in Mildura, Victoria, over the long weekend.

All three Narromine motocross kids, Will Cale, Stella Harding and Ollie Cale, competed in the small wheel juniors section consisting of 90 riders ranging from seven to 12 years old.

Picture this: 80 kilometres of sand, cold conditions and over an hour of straight racing in one of Australia’s best and biggest off road races, with the kids having to stop every two laps to refuel and drink and off again.

With Will Cale qualifying inside the top 10 to start the race and working his way up to third at one stage, he finished

an outstanding sixth outright and sixth in the 9-12 years 85cc class.

Stella Harding and Ollie Cale qualified directly next to each other in 58th and 59th outright.

The two little ones headed off for their fi rst go at the desert race with Ollie Cale on fi re, slowly picking off the other riders for an astonishing 37th outright and fi rst in the 7-9 years 65cc class.

Stella Harding was in hot pursuit, getting back to 50th outright and third overall in the 7-12 years girls’ class.

The kids will get a local club day at Dubbo Dirtbike Club shortly before heading to Rockhampton for more racing.

Our ongoing thanks to Dubbo City Motorcycles and Narromine Car Club for their amazing support of our kids’ racing.

Golf a wash-out all round Contributed by KALE BOCK AND NORM LEWIS THERE was no golf played over the weekend due to the rain which fell on both days. No doubt the rain will be beneficial for the course and help the volunteers preparing it for the major events coming up.

On Saturday, some players arrived for the Monthly Medal round but unfortunately it was called off mid-afternoon. It is rumoured the event was fi-

nalised on the pool table but no results are available for publication.

Sunday was a complete wash-out. A very disappointing result for those keen weekend golfers. I am advised the Monthly Medal round will be rescheduled for later in the month.

The golf program for the coming weekend is as per the official program. On Saturday, there will be a two-person Irish event while on Sunday the event is a single stableford.

Stella is ready to race.

Also on Sunday is the Annual Warren Open tournament and a number of Narromine players will be making the trip to Warren for the event and a shot at the grass greens.

Warren is always a great day.

The Junior Clinic scheduled for Sunday morning is postponed due to the fact most of the tutors will be travelling to Warren.

Two of the club’s major events, the MatchPlay Championships and the

annual Shootout Competition are due to be played shortly. Please keep an eye on the Clubhouse Notice Board for further details.

The next Veterans ninehole event will be on the front nine on Saturday, July 16. The Trangie Veterans Open is on Thursday, July 14. It is hoped a good number of members will support Trangie as our Vets Open is on in early August.

That’s all for this week.

See you all at the 19th.

cer research last month, participating in the annual Crazy Hair and Sock Day. Held across all NSW netball competitions, the annual

the Narromine teams participating in the Dubbo Netball Association competition absolutely loved the dress up day.

It’s still unknown just how
