Tomingley to benefit from local development activity

Rural road woes shared at council roadshow

By SHARON BONTHUYS TOMINGLEY stands to benefit from the significant development activity taking place in the area as well as some proposed improvements, according to the Narromine Shire Council. With two service stations at an advanced stage of construction, Phil Johnston, Director, Community and Economic Development, told the Narromine Star that these projects are positive for Tomingley, providing the opportunity for employment during construction and in the long term once the service stations are open. “The facilities are expected to be widely used as a midpoint between Brisbane and Melbourne interstate traffic for both trucks and smaller vehicles,” he said. The Narromine Star has been privileged to get a birdseye view of one of the two service stations under construction. Kindly provided by Brian Shiells, site manager for Johns Lyng Commercial Builders, the photos show the United service station from the air. It is believed the facility should be open to the public in October 2022, weather permitting. Council has other planned improvements to the area, including the truckstop, Eric Woods Park, the local tennis court near the memorial hall, and the water fi ltration plant. Continued page 10

By SHARON BONTHUYS FRUSTRATED landholders shared their concerns about the state of rural roads and perceived inaction by council at a community consultation forum held at Trangie on August 4. Held as part of Narromine Shire Council’s review of its road management strategy, the Trangie forum was the second community consultation with local residents this month. Concerns raised by Trangie landholders included the funds spent on repairs and maintenance of roads, the closure of all unsealed roads in the shire following bad weather, grading practices that push soil to the side creating “banks” which allow water to collect in the the road after rain, the productivity of road work crews, the downgrading of roads, and the design of roads. Council’s Infrastructure and Engineering Services director Andre Pretorius addressed the attendees at Trangie and acknowledged their concerns. “These discussions and the results of the [council’s roads management] survey will help move towards solving some of the issues,” he said. Governed by ten separate pieces of legislation and funded from rate revenues and grants, managing LGA roads is a complex issue. And expensive!

Local landholders attend the Trangie presentation on August 4. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. Tony Quigley questioned what could be achieved when 60 per cent of the annual roads budget of $789,590 is spent on maintenance. A presentation slide suggested that “Council’s general funding strategy for roads is to use “rate-based” revenue for maintenance/operational activities and “grant-based” revenue for the construction of new roads and reconstruc-

tion programs.” Six grantbased funding sources listed included several NSW and federal grant programs targeting repairs and maintenance, disaster recovery and so on. There appears to be little money available for new projects. The issue of closing roads brought some passionate responses from the landholders. “If you close a road you’re

stopping a business from making a living,” said Duncan Howe. This was supported by Tony Quigley. “You’re transferring the cost [of road closures] back to business to bear,” he said. “The road is closed to 3.5 tonne vehicles but road trains are using it. Why?” said John Richardson. Continued page 2

High-tech light trial for Dandaloo Road level crossing By SHARON BONTHUYS JUST months after a mobile camera was positioned west of the Dandaloo Road level crossing, sparking a raft of conspiracy theories about its true purpose, it has been announced that the site will now trial new warning light technology. Aimed to reduce the risk of level crossing collisions between trains and vehicles in regional areas, the trial at Narromine will evaluate the effectiveness of a stop sign with LED warning lighting on the Dandaloo Road level crossing. “I’m glad the level crossing at Narromine will be part of a trial to install innovative signs with LED flashing lights to increase and improve awareness and safety at this site,” said the Member for Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders. “If successful, we could see these rolled out across the electorate, potentially saving more lives, while reducing the stress on train drivers who witness the terrible tragedy of level crossing accidents.” Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the NSW Government had listened to concerns raised through the community petition led by Maddie Bott. Ms Bott’s partner died in February 2021 at a rural level crossing 70 kilometres north-west of Young that was controlled only by a “stop and look for trains” sign. Visibility at the site was also obscured by grass and trees.

The Dandaloo Road level crossing will trial a new stop sign with LED warning lighting in the near future. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. “Sixty-eight per cent of public road crossings use only stop and give way signs to warn about the presence of a level crossing, and the need to stop to look for trains,” Mr Farraway said. “Transport for NSW has developed a new strategic direction to help fast track improvements at level crossings which will involve trialling the use of new technology. “Level crossing crashes devastate families and communities, which is why we want to use innovation and technology to help save lives,” said Minister for Customer Service

and Digital Government, Victor Dominello. The Narromine Star has recently reported on the poor state of some level crossings around the shire and would contend that well constructed and maintained crossings should also form part of the wider safety strategy. With different organisations having the asset management responsibility for the repair and maintenance of level crossings in different locations, local residents may be left wondering who to approach with their concerns.

Lions help Ally get a bike By TAHLIA SINCLAIR ALLY Robb has been presented with a new bike, courtesy of the Lions Club, at a special event at the Nyngan Bowling Club last Thursday. Ally, who has Cerebral Palsy, will be able to use the bike, which came with special attachments, to go more places, including the beach. Her new bike can also be attached to a regular bike, so that she can join her family and friends on bike rides whenever they go on one. Ally’s mum, Karina Dunn, said she looked into purchasing the bike through NDIS, but her application had been rejected. “I had seen a similar bike one day and I thought ‘I’m going to see if I can get one,’ but NDIS said it wasn’t necessary. I was gobsmacked, I thought ‘you don’t think it is necessary to have a bit of normality?’” After the rejection, Ms Dunn asked to speak to the person who rejected the request but has never heard back from them. It was a chance meeting in Nyngan

IGA that got the ball rolling for Ally’s new bike when Dell Beetson overheard Ms Dunn talking about the rejection. “Dell Beetson overheard me and tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘we’ll get it for you.’” The bike cost nearly $16,000 and was purchased by a contingent of Lions Clubs including Narromine, Wellington, Dubbo, Trangie, Warren, Geurie, and Nyngan. Ms Dunn said that Ally immediately relaxed into her new bike, “it was great to see her so comfortable in it.” The family have big plans for the bike, including a trip to the Gold Coast where they hope Ally will be able to go onto the beach for the first time. “For the first time in 12 years we’ll be able to get her on the sand, near the water. Normally Ally and I have to sit up on the footpath while Bronte [Ally’s sister] and Shannon [Ally’s step-dad] are on the sand. “Now she can join in, and just be a kid.

Gilgandra council partners with ARTC for housing: not on the cards here By SHARON BONTHUYS ON August 1 our sister publication the Gilgandra Weekly reported that a partnership commitment between the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) and the Gilgandra Shire Council (GSC) had been made in support of the Inland Rail project. This commitment would result in ARTC taking long term leases on ten new homes to be constructed in Gilgandra by the council. “Inland Rail has agreed to sign long-term leases on the new homes, to use for employees working on the Narromine-to-Narrabri [N2N] section of the network. These

long-term leases have given GSC the fi nancial assurance they required to spend around $5 million on construction of the homes,” the Gilgandra Weekly reported. In that instance, the GSC approached Inland Rail with the housing proposal, the Gilgandra Weekly reported. A temporary workers’ camp also forms part of proposed Inland Rail project works in Gilgandra and will house 500 staff. Locally, the Inland Rail project includes the construction of several kilometres of greenfield railway track and a large materials distribution centre south of Narromine, bringing workers to the town for the long term.

With housing pressures increasing in Narromine, we asked the Narromine Shire Council if a similar arrangement to the one instituted with ARTC by GSC was proposed locally, or if the proposed construction of a temporary workers’ camp would meet this need. “Narromine Shire Council is in ongoing discussions with ARTC regarding all elements of the development of Inland Rail and its impact on the Narromine and region community,” said Phil Johnston, Director Community and Economic Development. “At this stage there have been no specific discussions about housing developments

although the shortage in accommodation is understood.” The Narromine Star understands the temporary workers’ accommodation proposed locally for the N2N is planned to be on the Narwonah site of the proposed materials distribution centre, with access off Narwonah Siding Road. This is outlined in the Environmental Impact Statement for Inland Rail, Mr Johnston said. “Initial discussions only have been held in regard to the worker accommodation. While the overall development of Inland Rail will offer the region many opportunities, there will be additional pressure on town services includ-

ing accommodation during the construction. “It will be important to continue to work with Inland Rail to reduce this impact,” Mr Johnston said. Narromine Shire Council currently has on public exhibition until August 26 a planning proposal to include a new provision in the Narromine Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP). This seeks to “introduce specific additional ‘miscellaneous local provisions’ in Part 5 to provide certainty of development standards and permissibility for temporary workers accommodation in the shire,” according to the Council’s website.

Trangie Action Group’s AGM: ready for a new year

retary), Chris Welch (Treasurer) and myself, Pat Riley (Publicity Officer). The position of Vice President was unfi lled and will be confi rmed at the next monthly meeting. A number of projects on the Group’s agenda were cited as still worksin-progress. When complete, the Passage of

Time (waiting on technical support) will provide a timeline of Trangie’s history. The public toilets at the oval have been reprogrammed to be manually reset in case of blackout. The wording on the sign above the local swimming pool has always been deemed inappropriate and misleading. Council has been approached on a number of occasions to remedy the situation. The pool was constructed 1963 as a memorial to veterans of WWII and the consensus of opinion is that signage should identify it as such and that the signage should be readable. TAG is currently working with Council to achieve this outcome. The mural at the Railway is still on the work list, but the building needs some attention before a start can be made on it. A suitable logo for TAG is currently being investigated by a graphic designer from Narromine. Steps are currently being taken to set up a Community Google Drive that will enable clubs and committees to provide information for the media. Plans for the Group’s Community annual Christmas Street Party are now well underway and it is envisaged

that this year will be a bigger and better family affair, with lots of new attractions, the Local Shop and Win competition with up to $2000 on offer for some lucky winners, and of course, Santa Claus will make an appearance. In her report, President Terrie Milgate thanked the committee and members for their ongoing support of the group and the local community, commenting on the difficulties of the past few years that saw Covid dictate the terms of our activities. Nevertheless, both major events staged by the group, the Christmas Party and the Australia Day celebration, were outstanding successes. The very generous donation from the Regional Australia Bank Community Partnership Program in 2021 enabled TAG to fund the Shop-n-Win competition at last year’s Christmas Party without having to call on local businesses. TAG is made up of a group of local people who are concerned about the welfare of their town and who are prepared to put their collective ‘backs to the wheel’ to ensure satisfactory outcomes on a variety of issues including signage, weir design, shop fronts, chemical damage to trees in the local area and the overall beautification of the town.

Work starts on Lagoon Creek overtaking lanes – finally! By SHARON BONTHUYS WORK has fi nally started on the proposed overtaking lanes on the Mitchell Highway in the area of Lagoon Creek, just east of Narromine. Despite being announced on January 19, 2022, by Member for Dubbo Electorate, Dugald Saunders, who said that clearing and draining work was being undertaken at the site then, construction has only just begun this month. The work is part of an upgrade of a 36-kilometre section of highway costing $18 million, with an additional $14 million to be spent on further safety improvement work. It is part of a $32 million project involving three new overtaking lanes and safety upgrades between Dubbo and Narromine. The Lagoon Creek site is the fi rst of the overtaking lanes to be constructed. The proposed locations of the other two overtaking lanes is not known. “These new overtaking lanes will be essential for creating safer and more efficient travel for the local community and passing freight, with a large number of residents commuting to work daily between Narromine and Dubbo,” Mr Saunders told the Narromine Star back in January. “The new overtaking lane [at Lagoon Creek] will be about 1.5 kilometres long, with the westbound lane widened to provide a new 3.5-metre lane for motorists to pass slower traffic, as well as a two-metre shoulder and a 0.5-metre verge,” he said.

usmc

The start of construction on the Lagoon Creek site follows many months of roadworks at the intersection of Rawsonville Bridge Road and North Minore Road a few kilometres east of Lagoon Creek. Those roadworks have been completed to the point where traffic is freely flowing in both directions after a nightmare several months for motorists with long delays at traffic-control points. Narromine Shire Mayor, Craig Davies, recently questioned when the construction of the Lagoon Creek overtaking lanes would start, having been present for the announcement in January. With two accidents at roadworks on the Mitchell Highway between Narromine and Dubbo in recent weeks, and a third vehicle off the road near the Lagoon Creek site just this week, Police encourage drivers to exercise caution. “Police request that all drivers adhere to the posted speed limits as they are imposed for their safety. Police will be monitoring these areas and appropriate action will be taken if [motorists] do not respect the temporary speed limits imposed,” said Sergeant Jacob Cantwell from Orana Mid-Western Police District. If residents are planning to travel to Dubbo from Narromine or Trangie via the Mitchell Highway, they should continue to factor in additional travel time to allow for potential stop/starts at roadworks. The construction of the Lagoon Creek overtaking lanes and the additional work to be completed is likely to continue for some time to come.

ATO busts myths about scams IN the last 12 months, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has identified and taken action against 595 websites impersonating its online services. These fake sites are designed to steal passwords, personal information and identity documents, such as passports and driver licences. Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh explains “Right now, we’re seeing a lot of SMS and email scams leading to fake myGov sign-in pages – we’ve had more than 360 of these scams reported since April 2022. However, we see many different types of tax and super scams happening yearround, not just in the lead up to tax time.” Scammers are always looking for new ways to convince unsuspecting taxpayers into divulging personal information, such as bank details, usernames and passwords. “This year, the ATO has taken out the guesswork and busted some scam myths to help people stay protected” said Mr Loh. Myth #1: Only older people fall for scams. In the last three years, younger Australians have fallen victim to the most tax scams. In 2021, people aged 25 to 34 reported the most amount of money lost to tax scams, closely followed by those aged 18 to 24. In contrast, those aged 55 and above were among those who reported the least financial losses to the ATO. “We want Gen Z and Mil-

Check in with someone you trust, like a friend or family member. Even better go to the ATO’s website where we have a listing of all the current ATO scams or call us on our dedicated scam hotline.” Myth #2: Scams are easy to spot. “Email and SMS scams are not always full of typos, bad grammar, and promises

of riches from foreign royalty. We are seeing many more sophisticated scam messages using official language and fraudulent websites that mimic online services,” Mr Loh said. “We’ve seen some very convincing email and SMS scams that would trick even the most cautious people.” The ATO does send emails and SMS to clients to share general information or reminders, or to ask people to check their myGov inbox or get in touch with the ATO. However, the ATO will never: f send an unsolicited message requesting personal information via a return email or SMS,

f send an email or SMS with a link to log in to our online services, f ask you to pay a fee in order to receive a refund. The ATO recently issued a scam alert for an ATO impersonation scam that has been circulating (see photo), advising a tax lodgement receipt message. Myth #3 – Scams only happen during tax time. “We see different types of tax and super scams happening year-round,” Mr Loh said. It’s important to always stay vigilant to potential scams, and to keep your personal and financial details safe. Some common scams that the ATO sees year-round include:

f Protect personal information just as you would protect your credit card or tax file number. f Never share usernames or passwords with anyone, not even your registered tax agent. f Be careful about clicking on links, even if a message seems to come from a legitimate source. f If you are ever unsure whether it’s really the ATO, do not engage or reply. Instead, phone the ATO on 1800 008 540 or a number sourced from our website to check if it’s real. If you use a registered tax agent, they can help you verify it’s the ATO. f Only log onto ATO online services directly, never via a hyperlink. You can check the status of your refund using the ATO app. ■

It’s tax time: is your agent registered? TAXPAYERS obtaining professional tax advice should engage a tax practitioner registered with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB). This is the message from the TPB after Justice Derrington of the Federal Court ordered Franibelle Saludo Ordiales of Brisbane to stop preparing and lodging income tax returns, for a fee, while not a registered

tax agent with the TPB. The board regulates tax practitioners and aims to assure the community that tax practitioners meet appropriate standards of professional and ethical conduct. TPB Chair, Mr Ian Klug AM, said “when engaging a tax agent, check the TPB register to ensure the authenticity of the agent’s registration and

be wary of promises of a large tax refund. Never share your myGov password with anyone as doing so puts your personal and financial information at risk.” Mr Klug said “Ms Ordiales’ behaviour has subjected her clients to significant risk, potentially exposing them to thousands of dollars in taxes and penalties which they are

accountable for and will need to repay. “The TPB will continue to build focus on unregistered preparers and are committed to deterring this conduct by ensuring these preparers are stopped from acting unlawfully and putting consumers at risk. “We expect to build upon the success of cases we litigated

last year, which included 219 cases of complaints about unregistered preparers who are failing to provide legal and ethical advice to their clients.” The TPB Register is free and easy to use. The TPB has also added new website content that outlines its “unregistered preparers strategy” and the outcomes of court proceedings.

Narwonah Materials Distribution Centre Construction activities from mid-August 2022

What we are doing Works during this phase will include site establishment, ground compaction and vegetation clearing.

How we’re managing impacts

Our construction contractor Martinus will carry out works adjacent to the rail corridor, near Craigie Lea Lane, Narwonah from mid-August 2022 onwards to December 2022.

Trucks and other vehicles will regularly access the construction site.

Works to further build and operate the centre will continue for several years.

The local community may also notice construction machinery and equipment operating on site adjacent to Craigie Lea Lane and the delivery of materials and equipment to site.

When we’re working

During these works, the nearby community may experience some increased noise and traffic control will be in place to minimise delays. There will be no impact to property access.

Works will occur during standard work hours (7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 7am to 1pm Saturday).

Water carts will also be on site to manage any dust generated during works.

Project teams will also work during alternating fortnightly weekends (e.g 1pm to 5pm Saturday and 7am to 5pm Sunday).

Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we complete these important works.

The alternating fortnight will provide a weekend respite for local landowners (i.e., with no works on Saturday afternoon between 12 noon until 5pm or Sunday 7am to 5pm).What we are doing

Tomingley to benefit from local development activity Improvements will be made to the Tomingley truck park.

The tennis court will be finalised soon.

The site is quite expansive. From page 1 “The truckstop on the eastern side of the road near the new service station will have some improvements made which will assist to ensure that truck parking is available away from the roadway,” Phil Johnston said. Improvements wil be made to Eric Woods Park.

“While not related to the new

truck stops, Council is also undertaking improvement works to Eric Woods Park which will soon feature Tomingley welcome signage as well as some historical signage relating to mining. “Council will also soon finalise the works to the tennis court at the Tomingley Hall with additional shade to be installed. Work to

the water filtration plan is almost complete with the final phase of installation underway,” he said. “In the coming years residents will also benefit with employment as the Tomingley Gold operation moves to the south and expands. Extensive work to the highway will also feature as part of this expansion,” he said.

Big four banks closing more branches – but not here THE closure of bank branches has reached a crisis point as three of Australia’s Big Four banks move to shut down another 37 branches across the nation over the next few months. The Finance Sector Union (FSU) is now seeking government intervention to protect local economies and save what’s left of Australia’s bank branch network. “This latest list of closures means the Big Four have closed more than 550 bank branches across Australia

since January 2020,” said Finance Sector Union National Secretary, Julia Angrisano. “We must act to stop the banks walking away from communities in our suburbs and towns. It’s time to examine the impact of these closures which have hit hundreds of communities across the country.” Ms Angrisano said for decades the major banks had been supported by the government as part of the “four pillars policy” but had failed to support local communities in return. “Instead the banks continue

to shut down branches, sack workers and turn their backs on customers and businesses. Cost savings from branch closures are designed to increase the banks’ already huge profits,” Ms Angrisano said. “The Big Four are said to be ‘too big to fail’ and have enjoyed Government guarantees in the past but they are not too big to regulate when it comes to the branch network.” Ms Angrisano said the Westpac Group would close 24 branches, the Commonwealth Bank is closing five, and Na-

tional Australia Bank is set to close eight banks across Australia. The closures will result in the loss of 182 jobs nationwide. Of the 37 branches closing, 14 are located in NSW but none of these impact communities in the Narromine Shire. “Communities depend on the banks to deliver financial services but if we don’t stop the current trend, there will be no branches left.” Ms Angrisano said self-regulation had not worked and the Australian Banking Asso-

ciation’s commitment to consulting the community about proposed branch closures was being ignored. Ms Angrisano said she would seek the assistance of the federal government to ensure continuing delivery of banking services to the Australian community, especially in regional areas. “The [previous government] did nothing to protect the public interest and maintain bank branches and now more regional communities are facing a future without a bank.”

Aviation U3A opens up a new world to many News By SHARON BONTHUYS

Contributed by BERYL HARTLEY, Narromine Aviation Museum: Museum Curator, Michael Nelmes completed the installation of two new display areas in the museum during his recent visit. The task of upgrading the older free standing display cases is now well underway. Visitation increased during the past month during the school holidays. Many coastal residents checked out Narromine as they travelled through the west of the state on their caravan trips. Narromine Aero Club: The Aeroclub has now completed the rebuilding of the clubhouse following the storm damage to the building and the club restaurant is open again. The committee is busy planning for the month of September when Narromine will host the National AusFly event and the State Aerobatic Championships. Narromine Gliding Club: Planning is well underway for the Narromine Cup week and the Australian National championships to be held in Narromine November/December. CFI Arnie Hartley and instructor Samuel Peto attended the weekend of Integrated Training program at Parramatta. This is the time of year for aircraft maintenance to ensure all aircraft are ready for the planned busy gliding season.

JULIE Wilson has just taken over the presidency of the Dubbo chapter of the University of the Third Age (U3A). She visited Narromine library last week to talk about the many different things U3A offers to retired and semi-retired people. From history to ceramics to armchair travelling and adventures with endangered species at the zoo, the Dubbo U3A helps older Australians remain active and in touch with others. “People get to know each other and faces become familiar,” Julie told those gathered, some of whom have been involved with other chapters of the U3A movement. “There’s no age limit. You just have to be retired or semi-retired.” The Dubbo group operates out of the Western Plains Cultural Centre under an arrangement with the Dubbo Regional Council, Julie said. This provides dedicated spaces for classes to be held. One of the most popular classes is a ukulele group where players wear Hawaiian shirts and often entertain other groups. A spin off from this has been a jazz improvisation class for beginners which now has 13 members, Julie said. The Dubbo chapter has over 350 members and delivers over 30 different classes. Further information on the Dubbo U3A can be found on its website.

Picnic and country races to beneﬁt from changes PICNIC and country racing will benefit from a raft of changes announced last week by Racing NSW. The changes include a further $30 million in prizemoney increases and record investment in infrastructure and an additional share of prizemoney for both equine welfare and stable staff. Total prizemoney paid in NSW will increase to $358 million per annum, an increase of $239 million, or more than triple the prizemoney levels from 2012.

As part of all this, minimum prizemoney for all levels of country racing have been increased as follows: f Picnic minimum prizemoney increases from $5,000 to $7,000 f Non-TAB minimum prizemoney increases from $10,000 to $12,000 f Sky 2 minimum prizemoney increases from $15,000 to $16,000 f Country TAB minimum prizemoney increases from $25,000 to $27,000 In addition, two races at

Two races at every Country Showcase meeting will also be restricted to NSW country-trained horses and will carry prizemoney of $35,000. At some meetings this will be increased to three races. Additional prizemoney will also be offered in the provincial sector, with two races at each provincial race meeting carrying prizemoney of

$45,000. One of these races will be restricted to provincial-trained horses only and the other will be restricted to Midway trained horses only. An infrastructure project fund of $125 million will be delivered by Racing NSW over the next two years. This project fund includes $70 million in grants received from the NSW state government in support of the NSW Thoroughbred Racing Industry and $55 million set aside by Racing NSW. Projects will include con-

struction of stables, new training tracks, course proper works, customer facilities, raceday amenities and jockeys rooms right across the state. Racing NSW will continue to work with race clubs and participants regarding the allocation of these funds. The Narromine Star reached out to local race committees in the shire for their thoughts on how these changes will benefit picnic and country racing, but did not hear back before the deadline.

Residents’ fury at ﬂooding By SHARON BONTHUYS FOR nine years, Narromine resident Mick Cusack’s property has flooded every time it rains. With no drains in his street and the road surface and kerbing sunken around his driveway, water naturally pools at the low point when it rains. It then runs down his driveway and collects around the entrance to his home. Unable to leave his Pegale Place property by the front door after last week’s downpour, and angry at the unfulfi lled promise to repair the problem by Narromine Shire Council – Mick has had enough. “The water has nowhere to go except under the slab,” Mick told the Narromine Star, concerned about what this may be doing to his home’s foundations. “I”m at the end of my tether,” he said, infuriated at the lack of action by the council. Mick and Mary Cusack said they have experienced flooding issues for the nine years they have lived at the property and made multiple complaints to council over the years. Lack of action by the council resulted in Mick devising ways to fi x the problem himself. “I wanted to put a speed hump in across my driveway to stop the water, but I didn’t. It would have helped me but not my neighbour,” he said. Two years ago the retiree was told Pegale Place would be added to the council’s stormwater plan, but wasn’t sure what that actually involved. “In March 2021 we got a letter

from the engineer saying the problem would be sorted out by the end of this fi nancial year,” Mick said. That deadline has come and gone with no further communication from council, further infuriating the Cusacks. Contacting the Mayor has also not resolved the problem, they said. With bad weather hitting the region multiple times in the last year, and more rain forecast for this weekend, the Cusacks are preparing for another bout of flooding. The ongoing stress is taking its toll on Mick who suffers serious ill health. The Narromine Star contacted the council for comment in relation to this matter. “Environmental conditions such as the rainfall experienced this year has delayed the delivery of some of our projects,” a council spokesperson said. “The effects of the Public Health Orders last fi nancial year have caused further issues with the supply chain and availability of contractors. “We are currently reviewing our project backlogs and aim to have a suitable outcome this fi nancial year.” With the end of the fi nancial year ten months away and another potentially wet summer to get through, Mick and Mary Cusack are not confident that the solution proposed in 2021 will be implemented before then. “Almost another year to get more excuses,” Mick commented. “It’ll be ten years worth of complaints by then and nothing will have changed.”

Flood warning issued for Dandaloo this week By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE NSW State Emergency Service (SES) issued a flood warning for the Bogan River at Dandaloo on Monday, August 8. Based on information from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), the SES advised the Bogan River at Dandaloo may reach the minor flood level (4.10 m) on Monday morning. Tyrie Road may also be impacted by floodwater 500m west of the Trangie – Dandaloo Road intersection. The SES advised landholders to relocate livestock, pumps, chemicals and equipment to higher ground. The SES also advised that low-lying areas along the Bogan River may be impacted by floodwater.

Political News & Opinion

broader recruitment pool of GP doctors. Now, Labor has expanded DPAs to include all large regional centres (MMM2) and some outer metro areas (MMM1). As a result, communities across the Parkes electorate are at risk of losing their doctors to areas closer to the cities and coastal towns. This is bad policy and a backwards step - taking doctors from some of the most disadvantaged communities to fi ll vacant positions in much larger centres is not the answer to our healthcare problems in the bush.

COULTON’S CATCH UP Comment by MARK COULTON, Federal Member for Parkes

Climate change legislation worrying THE legislation of the Labor government’s emissions reduction target is worrying. I am not a climate change denier – I accept the 43 per cent reduction target that Labor took to the election. This 43 per cent is now formally recognised by the United Nations as Australia’s emissions reduction target, so there’s no need to legislate it, as the prime minister and minister for climate change and energy have previously admitted. My concern is the legislating of this target, which I believe will leave future generations vulnerable to legal claims with regards to emissions reduction. The experience overseas has shown that legislating targets hands control over major infrastructure projects to green activists. It will also make it harder for agencies like the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) and Export Finance Australia (EFA) to support job-creating projects in the energy, resource, and agricultural sectors. It will mean that decisions on future development may be made by the judiciary, rather than parliament. For example, a new highway or rail line, or any other project that might advance our regions could be at risk of being stopped by activists claiming these developments will impact on Australia’s 43 per cent

I am open to sensible policies that support real and practical action to reduce emissions, but I could not support legislation that puts our energy and national security at risk. This virtue-signalling legislation is not thought-through and the ramifications down the track could be dire for this country.

Doctor shortage at risk of worsening THERE’S no doubt there’s a shortage of doctors in this country, but changes brought in by the Labor government quarie River, in conjunction with Central West Local Land Services (LLS). This project will have a long-term positive impact on native fish in our waterways, benefitting the Narromine region. The Narromine River Reserves Rehabilitation is one of 33 successful projects announced in the program, with all project ideas created by local communities for their waterways. Applications are also now open for the next round of the Habitat Action Grants, and I strongly encourage recreational fishers, community groups, councils, private landholders and natural resource

will make it even harder for our rural and remote towns to attract doctors. Last week in parliament, I spoke out against Labor’s ill-informed changes to the Distribution Priority Area (DPA) classification system which will mean peri-urban and regional centres like Albury, Port Stephens and Newcastle will be competing with the likes of Bourke, Cobar and Walgett for doctors. The DPA classification system was set to up to address shortages of doctors in rural areas, by mandating that overseas trained doctors and

rurally bonded medical students spend time working in the bush. One of the factors in determining the DPA status of an area is its remoteness based on the Modified Monash Model (MMM) geographical classification system – with a scale rating of one to seven. MMM1 is a major city, such as Sydney, and MMM7 is very remote, and includes towns like Bourke and Brewarrina. Previously, MMM3 to MMM7 areas were automatically given DPA status, which means medical practices in those areas can access a

- so I’m pleased that there will be even more projects on the way. We know that the mining industry can sometimes put extra pressure on local infrastructure in regional towns and the Resources for Regions program is about giving back to these mining communities that contribute so much to the NSW economy.

APPLICATIONS open on 12 August 2022 for Round Nine of the NSW Government’s Resources for Regions program, and I’m encouraging Narromine Shire Council to apply! We’ve seen the benefits for Narromine Shire provided by previous Rounds of Resources for Regions, including funding for the Narromine Water Reticulation System upgrade, a noise abatement study on Manildra/Culling Street, re-sheeting of Newhaven, Farrendale, Belmont, Pineview and Blackwater roads, and improved facilities at Cale Oval

ENTREPRENEURS in new and emerging industries in regional NSW will be supported to grow their business and revenues, raise funds, and create local jobs, thanks to the NSW Government’s new $2 million Accelerating Regional Innovation Fund.

AS a representative of a large Indigenous population, I want to do the right thing by the people in my electorate when it comes to the introduction of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. It’s an important issue and we have to get it right. At this stage, more detail is needed about how Labor’s proposed voice to parliament will function – what powers will it have, who will be eligible to be elected and how will it be made up? We must ensure that it is not just symbolic and will actually help to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We’ve also got to remember that there’s currently 11 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have been dutifully elected to parliament and I wouldn’t want to diminish their voice as representatives of the people who put them there. We need to have a clear and constructive policy that will help to close the gap and one that a majority of Australians will support, because it would be a tragedy if it does go to a referendum and fails. Grants of between $300,000 and $700,000 will be available to accelerator and incubator programs in regional NSW that support regional entrepreneurs and start-ups in emerging sectors and future industries, and I urge anyone that is eligible to apply! Regional entrepreneurs face additional challenges to their city counterparts, including access to best practice, customers, supply chains, partners and funding - these grants will support programs that provide the knowledge, skills, training, networking and investment opportunities that will help the newest businesses in regional NSW to prosper! Until next time, Dugald

Second giraffe born at Dubbo zoo this year

Young Wayo was born at the zoo on July 23.

THE second giraffe calf to be born this year into Taronga Western Plains Zoo’s breeding herd arrived on July 23, joining “Matata” who arrived last month. The newcomer is another welcome addition to the growing herd. The keepers agreed that “Wayo”, meaning footprint in Swahili, was a fitting name for the newborn. “It’s always a privilege to see a newborn calf find its feet, suckle for the first time and meet the herd,” said keeper Bobby-Jo Vial. “The calf is quite large and has very unique markings. Four-week-old calf Matata was quick to come over and give the calf a sniff.” The two calves are out in the paddock with the rest of the herd and can be seen suckling from their mothers Mvita and Ntombi. Father Mtoto was observed sniffing the newborn not long after the birth. Mtoto was transferred into the zoo’s breeding herd in 2019 to increase the genetic diversity in the regional population.

Contributed by ANTHONY MCEACHERN THE Narromine Rescue Squad has received a generous donation of $3,500 from the lovely ladies at the Narromine 25 Club. President Shane Smith and I attended the United Services Memorial Club on Wednesday night to receive the generous donation. The money they have raised will be used

to upgrade our inland water rescue equipment we use in our rescue boats. On behalf of the Narromine Rescue Squad I would like to thank the ladies of the 25 Club at Narromine for their ongoing support to the squad over the years. Like us, they are volunteers and are always looking for ways – and extra hands – to help the community.

Burnt out car Dog trials and scarecrows found at Narwonah showcased at the show Contributed by JENNY BALLHAUSEN, NARROMINE SHOW SOCIETY

This vehicle was stolen from Narromine on August 1 and found burnt out and dumped near Narwonah silo. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

WE’RE thrilled that the Macquarie Valley Yard Dog Trials will be at the Narromine Show, which is just three weeks away. Bill Gibbs, coordinator of this event, says it is always very popular and dog handlers attend from across the state. “It is quite spectacular to watch the dogs at work and how the owner communicates with the dog. It is a great spot to have some time out from the activities on the Showground,” he said.

The scarecrows are proving to be one of the popular sections at the show. Groups and individuals are encouraged to make and dress a scarecrow for display. The scarecrows must be able to be stuck into a hay bale or lean on the back wall without falling over! If scarecrows aren’t your thing, maybe the animal competitions or pavilion exhibits may be of interest, or the fireworks display or the band. There’s going to be so much to see and do. Schedules and tickets are now available online and we’ll see you at the show!

Building crime prevention habits Contributed by SCOTT HECKENDORT, ORANA MID-WESTERN POLICE DISTRICT Floodwaters surrounded the vehicle following a big downpour. By SHARON BONTHUYS A burnt out car was discovered near the Narwonah silo and railway tracks on Friday, August 5. The vehicle was found dumped by the railway tracks and up to its undercarriage in floodwater. The local area had reportedly received 55mm of rain a day earlier.

Sergeant Scott Heckendorf, Sector Supervisor Narromine and Trangie, Orana Mid-Western Police District has advised that the vehicle was stolen from a Narromine address on August 1. Anyone with information about the matter should contact the Narromine Police on 02 4474 9680 or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

OUR habits govern our lives, literally. Research shows that around half of our daily actions are driven by repetition. This is probably why behavioural scientists and psychologists have spent so much time writing about how to establish and keep positive habits. Regular sleep and exercise, a healthy diet, an organised schedule, and mindfulness are just a few examples of practices that – if done regularly – can improve our work, relationships, and mental health. Police are looking to build some great

crime prevention habits in our community. We are calling it the #9pmroutine because we want residents to to complete three effective crime prevention habits before they go to bed: f Remove valuables from cars; f Lock up car and house; f Secure your keys. This is important because eight out of ten homes that are broken into are entered by unlocked doors or windows, and the peak times for break and enters to occur are between midnight to 3am. Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Local CWA groups meet in Bourke

Councillors from Far Western Group of CWA attended meeting in Bourke. PHOTOS: PAT RILEY.

Contributed by PAT RILEY, TRANGIE CWA ON Saturday, July 30, a contingent of Country Women’s Association (CWA) Councillors and Executive converged on Bourke for the Far Western Group Council meeting. CWA branch members from Narromine, Trangie, Warren, Nyngan, Enngonia, Hermidale , Cobar and Brewarrina met at the Bourke CWA rooms. With Group President Mrs Ruth Hando presiding, formal-

ities were dealt with before the meeting moved on to the business of the day. The meeting provided a forum for the discussion of a number of issues, including the current problems with rural and regional health, the difficulty in procuring medical practitioners to the bush and the potential role of CWA in seeking a solution to what is fast becoming a crisis in country areas. Reports presented to the meeting showed the Far West-

ern Group as being well represented at the State Conference in May, with handicraft and land cookery scoring well. Special mention was made of Mrs Glenys Church of Warren branch, whose beautifully constructed wool appliqued sewing box scored an impressive 91 points. While there were no big wins in the cooking section, all who made it to State level are to be congratulated. Land cookery officer Mrs Stephanie Van Lubeck was adamant that

It needs to be noted, however, that a talent for handicraft and or cooking is not a prerequisite for membership and that cooking does not require the entrant to be a CWA member. Should any reader be interested in trying out their culinary skills, schedules and recipes are available from branch members.

forward to a great year ahead. Robyn would also like the community to know that the Women’s Shed provides a safe and supportive environment for women of all ages to come along, relax and talk with other women. While the women do undertake craft activities at their sessions, attendees do not not have to participate if they don’t want to, she said. “If we make money [from what we do here] it’s

a bonus,” Leona added. The craft activities have enabled the Women’s Shed to donate to local groups such as Timbrebongie House and the Pink Angels. The Women’s Shed will soon take possession of two glass cabinets donated by the Narromine Aviation Museum, which will be used to display some of its intricate handiwork. It also hopes to secure a grant to help purchase a card making printer and a computer.

Always a fun day out, the group Cultural Day will be held in Nyngan later this month, and a number of branches are busy planning entertainment for the day. Plans were put in place for the upcoming Annual General Meeting, which will be held in Nyngan in October. This meeting will be opened by newly elected State President, Mrs Joy Beames from Dunedoo. Mrs Beames will also address the meeting as guest speaker.

NARROMINE Shire Council has received a small grant from the NSW Government to improve fish habitats, fishing opportunities and general outcomes for native fish in the region. The council’s Habitat Action Grant is one of 33 funded from Recreational Fishing Trusts, where all funds raised by the NSW Recreational Fishing Fee are placed. A council spokesperson told the Narromine Star that the $7,800 grant will be used to control weeds and re-establish native species along various riparian areas of the Macquarie River. “Riparian areas provide a critical food source for native fish. Natural riparian zones also help maintain bank stability,” the spokesperson said. “We’re delighted that Narromine Shire Council has taken the initiative to apply for this funding that will restore riparian areas along the Macquarie River,” said Member for the Dubbo Electorate, Dugald

Saunders. “This project will have a longterm positive impact on native fish in our waterways, benefiting the Narromine region.” Narromine Shire Council will invite volunteers to assist with the replanting which is likely to occur in early autumn next year and encouraged residents to engage with local Landcare groups. Colin Hamilton, Chair of the Macquarie Valley 2100 Landcare Group (Macquarie 2100), welcomed the announcement. “Our river ecosystems are of vital importance for the health of our water, soil, and vegetation. “Macquarie 2100 has a long and active role in our community with multiple community and environmental projects, and strongly supports integrated natural resource activities. “Water quality and quantity is essential for long term environmental health and we look forward to collaborating directly with Dugald Saunders on further projects,” Mr Hamilton said.

Many thanks to Mrs Heap, Mrs Miller-Coen, Ms Newman, our teachers and assistants, Fr Sabbas, Catholic Care and the Narromine Bakery for the yummy cake. Most importantly, well done to our students who show empathy, respect and kindness to each other each and every day. Stage 2 and Stage 3 joined together to make woven raffia bracelets with the help of NASCA’s Ash, Jenna and Jordayna from Narromine High School. Perseverance, patience, resilience, teamwork, fun and a ‘never give up’ attitude were words that the students gave as feedback at the end of the activity.

Fletcher takes out double GERRIES GOLF

Contributed by NORM LEWIS A brilliant round of golf saw Bob Fletcher win the weekly Gerries’ golf competition last Wednesday. The weather was fine and the course in good condition and we saw Bob Fletcher come in with a score of 30 stableford points. This is one of the best scores recorded in the weekly Gerries’ competition. Well done, Bob! He did not have it all his own way as Ross King returned a card of 28 points to take second place. Congratulations to you both for some great golf. Ten players participated on the day. There was no winner of the NTP so the prize pool kitty continues to build. The battle for the NAGA prize was interesting. “Boof” Fraser took the prize as was expected, however, several players tried to beat him for a win in this popular weekly competition. Interest moved to the pool table where Bob Fletcher continued his winning way. He teamed with Greg Kearines to win the pool as they defeated Terry Willis and Norm Lewis in a hard fought match. “Fletch” won the double, golf and pool, as he and “ Keiro” collected the title of pool champs for the week. The decision was made on Wednesday afternoon to postpone the Narromine Veterans Open Tournament due to the forecast of heavy rain for Thursday, and it sure did rain. The decision allowed the club to notify all clubs of the postponement. The Open is now scheduled for Thursday, August 11, and hopefully is being played t-day as you read this article! Hopefully also no rain today! That’s it for the week. See you all on the Tee.

Small field contest ladies golf

Contributed by DALE HARDING

LAST Wednesday we played the first round of the foursomes championships. Only a small field participated. Vicki Gainsford and Betty Berryman won with 76 nett. Ball winners were Jenny Fitzgerald and Jenni Ward with 79 nett. The drawn card was won by Wendy Jeffery and Gail White. On Saturday, only four players entered the fifth round of the monthly medal. The 9-hole winner was Wendy Jeffery with 39 nett and nearest to the pin was won by Anne Harmer. Yesterday we played the second round of the foursomes championships and this weekend we’re playing ‘chosen holes’ for a trophy donated by Chris Samuels. Narromine lady golfers are holding our open tournament later this month, offering both nine and 18-hole competitions. Contact the club for details.

Quiet weekend for golfers at Narromine Contributed by KALE BOCK AND NORM LEWIS FOLLOWING on from two weekends of championship golf, Narromine golfers had a quieter weekend golfing-wise. No doubt the heavy rain through the week had some bearing on the weekend turnout. On Saturday, play was a stroke round for the August Monthly Medal and here we saw a disappointing field of only nine players take part. Winner of the A Grade Medal was Duane Faro-Mann with a score of nett 68. Steve Gillete was the runner-up with net 70. In the B grade event, Peter Gainsford was the winner on net 76 from Rob Gainsford on net 78. Well played to these winners.The jackpot hole

for the day was the 18th where there was no winner and also no winner in the NTP holes at the 9th and 17th. Sunday was fine with a cold wind which no doubt kept the field to a minimum of eight players. The course was difficult thanks to the midweek rain. The event was an 18-hole “colourball” and individual stableford. A rain storm mid-afternoon played havoc with the event, however, it appears all were able to finish. Winner on the day was Doug Potter with 35 points. There was no NTP winner nor jackpot winner with no birdies on the par threes. Long drive winner on the 1st was Steve Gillete. Over the weekend some match play games were played in this event. Details of these games

and future matches are on the noticeboard. There will be an 18-hole individual stableford and 18-hole versus par at Narromine this weekend. For those interested in travelling, Gilgandra Open and Trangie Open are both on this month. The Junior Clinic was held on Sunday morning with an improved attendance. The clinic is on every Sunday. The postponed Narromine Veterans Open was played this week instead and results will be in next week’s paper. The monthly Vets’ 9-hole competition will be played this weekend on the back nine in conjunction with the members comp. Well that’s it for another week, see you at the 19th.

RACING REPORT By COLIN HODGES ISLAND Press not only staked a claim as a promising candidate but is also guaranteed a start in the $100,000 Dubbo Gold Cup in September after winning the 1600 metres prelude on Sunday, August 7 at Dubbo. The lightly raced Island Press from the Dean Mirfi n stable at Bathurst was very well ridden by Anna Roper who had a winning treble at the Meeting. Best away, Island Press was eased back by the talented apprentice to take a trail behind

Dalavin completes hat trick at Dubbo Hit The Target in the run to the home turn. Taking control again, Island Press ($3.90) raced to a two-lengths win over Hit The Target (Matthew Palmer, $15) with Hit The Rim (Bailey Wheeler, $3.70 favourite) a length away third. Meanwhile in the 1100 metres Prelude for the $50,000 Sprint on Cup day, the Brett Robb, Dubbo-trained Dalavin completed a hat trick after winning the previous starts at Gunnedah and Dubbo. Dalavin (Clayton Gallagher, $1.70 to $1.45 favourite) overhauled stablemate Moetta (Jake Barrett, $4) in the straight then safely held off Ecker Road (Zara Lewis, $12) by two lengths.

Dalavin carries the wellknown royal blue, yellow sash, red cap colours of the O’Mally family, formerly from Bourke and now residing at Narromine. Judging by the cheering, the most popular winner at Dubbo was the gallant ten-yearold Billy Bent Ear, trained locally by Connie Greig and ridden by Anna Roper. From Racing in arguably career best form, Billy Bent Ear made it three wins and a second from the last four starts and advanced the overall record to 12 wins and 32 placings from 120 starts when a runaway winner of the Chem Cert Benchmark 58 Handicap. After racing midfield, Billy Bent Ear ($5) steamed

down the outside to score by three lengths from Planet Ex (Ken Dunbar, $31) and Serene Shadow (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $18). Surprisingly, this was the fi rst time Billy Bent Ear had won over 1100 metres, all previous wins being from 800 metres to 1000 metres. Completing an Anna Roper treble and Connie Greig double, Deel Street ($3.60 favourite) fi nished strongly out wide for a convincing win over Turn Table (Serg Lisnyy, $9.50) and Bandahara (Ken Dunbar, $21) in the 1600 metres SpinalCure Australia Benchmark 58 Handicap. Clayton Gallagher continued his great form with outstanding winning rides on

the Stephen Edwards, Dubbo-trained Keep on Going ($2.20, favourite), Not Too Bad ($1.65, favourite) for Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazleton and on the Brett Robb, locally trained Dalavin. The other winners were the David Smith, Mudgeetrained Kiss’N’Run (Jean Van Overmeire, $7 to $3.70) which after racing second to the turn beat stablemate Crystal Beanz (Anna Roper, $6) in the 1400 metres Active-On The Move Maiden Handicap while Jake Pracey-Holmes was aboard the Brett Thompson, Gulgong-trained Hampton Cove ($12) all the way winner of the 1100 metres The Thirsty Farmer Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Narromine bowls’ pennant season kicks oﬀ this weekend Contributed by RICK BOHM PLENTY of action this week up at the “Bowly”, with the pennant season kicking off on Sunday morning when we hosted the Nyngan boys. I wish I could say the lads in the red trousers played well and had a solid win, but alas, it wasn’t the case. A few of the Narromine boys were certainly a bit rusty and the slow start by Aaron’s team certainly showed that the lack of time on the greens recently did not help. However, when the Narromine squad got in front and kicked out to a handy lead,

most times that would have been enough to put a “W” in the result column, but again our boys showed a bit of ring rust late in the match and eventually a “L” went into the result column. So the boys will have to regroup and hopefully turn up in better knick for the clash against West Dubbo this Sunday, time will tell. Last Saturday the Major Minor Pairs kicked off with wins to Bill Wilkie and Don Sullivan, Ricardo and Robbie Stanford, and in the NEC big match William West Esquire (Replacement for Legs Hartis) along with partner Ben Clark,

were in scintillating form garnering a well-deserved win over their opponents. So that now sets up the following quarter fi nal match ups which sees Don Sullivan and William Wilkie take on Ben Clark and William West. David McNair and Des Lincoln will tackle Danny Carnevale and Bruce Powyer, while the tried and trusted combination of John Edwards and Paul Hilder will line up against Kevin Rider and James Coen. The last match is again a beauty with Danny Carnevale and Clifton Harris playing the Stanford boys Robbie and

Ricardo. Four quality matches, and no doubt the window tappers will be in place well before it starts. Pennants almost put a kybosh on social bowls last Sunday with just six hardy souls having a bit of a hit out, whilst once again the usual Thursday inclement weather put a halt to the boys getting on the paddock. Just a reminder we have “Gub” Thorne Day coming up next month so nominate now if you want to play. The clubhouse will host a trivia night later this month for the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary.

Given that it’s been a while since we conducted one of these events, we should have a full house for this terrific night, and all for a good cause. The pennant team to tackle West Dubbo this weekend hasn’t been selected just yet but see the noticeboard later in the week. Well that’s it for me for another week. If you’re not practising for pennants and you’re in the squad, why NOT? And that’s my beef for this week. I hope to catch up with you all at the “Bowly” sometime this week.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND 15

Narro Jets in top four Contributed by BRYSON LUFF IT’S official! The top four in the 2022 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition will consist of the Gilgandra Panthers, Cobar Roosters, Narromine Jets and the Gulgong Bull Terriers. However, whilst these four teams will be playing in the semi fi nals, the fi nal pecking order of the top three clubs is still up in the air and will be dependent upon the results over the fi nal three competition rounds. What is known is that Gulgong will fi nish in fourth position and will be playing in the minor semi-fi nal to be played on Sunday, September 4. The Terriers proved to be too strong for the Baradine Magpies at Baradine, running in for nine tries in their 50 to 4 win, with their talented half back Brad James crossing for a hat trick. The Narromine Jets effectively killed off any hope

Dunedoo had of making the semi-fi nals when they scored a comprehensive 54 to 6 win over the Swans at Cale Oval, the win shoring up the Jets’ position in the top four. That result sets the scene for a blockbuster Boronia Cup Challenge game being played at Gilgandra’s McGrane Oval this coming Saturday, when the third-placed Jets will be up against the fi rst-placed Panthers. The equation for Gilgandra is simple: if they win all of their three remaining competition games they will fi nish as minor premiers and host the major semi-fi nal. However, to illustrate the pressure that is on them, if they lose to the Jets on Saturday, they will be relegated to third place on the ladder! Whilst the top four in the rugby league is known to a degree, five teams remain in the fight for a berth in the league tag semis, with any one of those five teams capable of de-

feating any of the other four. This was exemplified by the fact the Narromine Jets, who registered a big win over the front running Baradine Magpies in round 14, were well beaten by the Dunedoo Swannettes last Saturday, the score being 32 to 4. Again, this sets up a big game for the Jets this Saturday against the Gilgandra Pink Panthers with a win vital to both teams as they attempt to stave off the late season charge to the semis by the Coonamble Bears, who downed Binnaway 32 to 10 over the weekend. Currently the Bears are just two points adrift of both the Panthers and the Jets on the competition table and having the bye this weekend they will draw level on the ladder with the loser of the Panthers/Jets clash. A reserve grade competition will kick off this Saturday with Gilgandra and Narromine playing at Gilgandra and Gulgong and Binnaway

clashing at Gulgong. These four teams will play over the remaining competition rounds and through the fi nals series.
