It’s CWA awareness week

Show a success

By SHARON BONTHUYS

IT’S CWA (Country Women’s Association) Awareness Week in NSW this week, and the Narromine Library has an amazing display dedicated to the history of the local branch. The display offers residents a walk down memory lane, showcasing old photos, diary extracts, recipe books, and handmade items that chronicle the activities of the branch and its members. With the state parent body celebrating its centenary this year, the Narromine branch is not far behind. Part of the CWA NSW Far Western Group, the Narromine branch was founded in 1923, and is preparing to celebrate its centenary next year. Branch president Jean Richardson is hosting a talk and morning tea at the library today (Thursday) to celebrate the state body’s centenary and CWA Awareness Week. For further information, see Classiﬁeds.

Handmade items and collectables form part of the display. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

AFTER last year’s cancellation and the preceding period of uncertainty brought by the pandemic and its restrictions, the Narromine Show went ahead last weekend. The Show Opening and Sponsors Night on Friday, September 2, recognised longtime volunteer and supporter of the Narromine Agricultural Show Society, Marie Powell, who was named Patron. Volunteers Jodi Browning and Jenny Ballhausen were also recognised as Honorary Life Members of the show society at the event. Show day unfolded against a backdrop of a grey, at times drizzly Saturday but the weather didn’t keep diehard fans and supporters away. Steady crowds were reported throughout the day. The pavilion looked stunning with beautiful displays of handiwork, floral arrangements, garden produce, photography, wool classing, preserves and cakes, arts and crafts and the wonderful art exhibitions by local school students. Some magnificent animals were on display in the cattle, sheep and poultry categories. The junior quests were popular as was sideshow alley, and children enjoyed the Dino-larius show and the exhibitions by the Freestyle Kings bike riders and equestrian events. Saturday night’s fi reworks could be heard all over the district and were a triumphant conclusion to the fi rst post-pandemic show. Volunteers were onsite on

Heather McIntyre: champion cook MRS Heather McIntyre was declared champion cook at the 2022 Narromine Show. “I said I wasn’t going to do much but I got to work and ended up putting a pile in,” she said, walking away with several awards for a wide range of items including cakes and preserves. Heather said she was very pleased to see all the entries by young children in the cook-

ing categories. “It’s so good to see the young ones cooking,” she said, pointing out some of her favourite decorated cookie entries. Congratulations, Heather!

Bird of the Show one of many awards for Misty Downs Poultry CHRIS Hockley was quietly proud as she revealed Misty Downs Poultry won a raft of awards at the Narromine Show on September 3, including Bird of the Show. The Hockleys, who live 25 kilometres north of Gilgandra, walked away with the top

gong for their unnamed Muscovy duck, as well as two reserve champions. “We brought over 13 birds and picked up 13 prizes,” Ms Hockley told the Narromine Star. The Misty Downs Poultry entries included Australian call ducks, Silkies, Pekings, Wyandottes and Muscovies. The Hockleys have shown their birds at the Narromine Show for a number of years. “We always enjoy coming to this show,” Chris said. Congratulations, Chris! More show photos: page 3, and pages 12-13

Moorambilla Magic: local children set to shine on stage By SHARON BONTHUYS A dozen children from across Narromine Shire are set to star in Riversong 2022, the Moorambilla Voices’ gala concerts to be held in Dubbo next week. Eight students from Trangie and four from Narromine will perform in Moorambilla’s four all-children choirs over two nights at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. About 250 children from across western NSW will perform in four regional choirs as the Moorambilla Voices’ spectacular returns to the stage for the ﬁ rst time since 2019. Originally meant to be staged at Lazy River Estate overlooking the Macquarie River, the event has been moved indoors due to the recent unpredictable weather. Narromine Star The caught up with some of the local Moorambilla choristers last week. Latika McKellar, Abigail Brown, Gilbert Maxwell and Eddie Irons from Narromine are excited about being involved in the event which celebrates singing, music, Culture and dance. It will be the third time round for Latika, 13, who loves being involved in Moorambilla Voices. “It feels really good to be going back again. I love it,” she said. It will be the ﬁ rst time at Moorambilla for Abigail, 10, Gilbert, 9, and Eddie, 11. Abigail performed in the children’s chorus of the Opera Australia touring production of “The Barber of Seville” when it came to Dubbo last month, but Moorambilla is something very different and she is happy to be taking part. “I’m very excited about singing there,” she said. Gilbert and Eddie also enjoy singing and are looking forward to next week’s performances. Trangie participants

The event began 17 years ago when founder and artistic director Michelle Leonard OAM set about creating something that celebrated the region, youth and Culture, but didn’t pit town against town in the process. “It was designed to give kids in western NSW a vehicle to connect creatively but also for the region to do something that wasn’t competitive. A lot of activities are ‘town versus town’,” Michelle said. “I wanted to create something that spoke very meaningfully and positively about the whole region and how glorious it is. “I’m a conductor and I love choirs. [Choirs] are really important because a lot of schools don’t have a band and no one has an orchestral program.” In choirs, the instruments are the voices, Michelle said. “You carry your instrument with you, the human voice.” Because many of the children are involved in sporting and other activities, this lends itself to oth-

er things like dance which also take place in the Moorambilla performances. Japanese-style drumming called Taiko is also featured in the event. Michelle said COVID had impacted signiﬁcantly on the arts sector, with Moorambilla Voices just one of many events suspended during the restrictions. “Choirs, in particular, were very badly affected. We haven’t been able to sing together since 2019,” Michelle said. “Coming out of COVID, I really wanted to ensure that the audience saw a performance from these beautiful children. How glorious the kids are, and that the kids got to experience that as well.” The last Moorambilla Voices concerts in 2019 had 350 children on stage. This year’s event is smaller in number, but Michelle believes it will grow again over time. “We’re slowly rebuilding the skillsets. We’ve added a group for Year 3s. This is their ﬁ rst year. They are so gorgeous! They’re called Birralii. “The boys’ choir is called Birray and the girls’ choir is called Mirray. They have about 100 children between them. Then we have about

93 children in the Maxed Out high school ensemble.” The children attended residency camps in August in preparation for the September performances. As the event draws near, Michelle and her team are working hard on the ﬁnal arrangements, thrilled to know the Friday night performance has already sold out, and about 100 tickets remain for the Thursday night performance. “The music and dance, the beauty of this year is just glorious. It’s beautiful music, it’s very nourishing. People will sit there and let that gloriousness wash over them. Michelle said the music for the performances has been written over the last couple of years and will be performed by a live orchestra of musicians from around Australia. Michelle will conduct the orchestra. She said it is wonderful seeing skilled professional musicians working with young children who are just starting out on their musical journeys. “We have a term for it: ‘Moorambilla Magic,’” she said. The event will also feature the work of regional artists Frank Wright (Walgett), ceramicist Melissa Kelly (Gilgandra), and author Cathie Colless (Comeby-Chance), and music created by composers Elena Kats-Chernin, Alice Chance, Josie Gibson, Andrew Howes and Kevin Barker. Dance works by Wiradjuri choreographers Amy Flannery and Ella Havelka, and Gumbaynggirr and Dunghutti choreographer Brad Smith will also feature, as well as photographic works from Noni Carroll and animation by VJ Suave. For anyone wanting to know more about Moorambilla Voices and how children can become involved in it, a documentary called “Wide Open Sky”, can be viewed on Netﬂ ix.

Government responds to rural health inquiry: but will anything change? By SHARON BONTHUYS On September 1, the state government formally responded to the ﬁ ndings of the parliamentary inquiry into health outcomes and access to health and hospital services in rural, regional and remote NSW that were released in May. Following a year-long process where individuals and families shared heartbreaking stories with the inquiry, which received 720 submissions, the inquiry committee made 44 recommendations. These included the state working collaboratively with the federal government to develop and implement a recruitment and retention strategy, the funding and training of rural doctors and staff, reviewing the contracts and incentives for visiting medical officers (VMO) and establishing a statewide VMO accreditation system. It also recommended reviewing the Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme (IPTAAS) and to improve the delivery of culturally safe health services to First Nations people. It also recommended introducing a health administration ombudsman and a regional health minister role for cabinet. The NSW government has reaffirmed its commitment to improve health outcomes for rural, regional and remote residents and has created a

ministerial role. Minister for regional health, Bronnie Taylor, said the NSW government recognised the inquiry ﬁ ndings and was taking meaningful action to provide safe, high quality health care services in the bush. “It is my absolute priority to ensure that, no matter where you live in our state, you have access to the health services that you need and deserve,” minister Taylor said. “It was important to hear directly from those on the ground, including patients, their families, health staff and communities, about where we need to address issues in our health system and also build on the NSW government’s ongoing commitment to best practice healthcare and reform. That is what this inquiry has achieved.” The government supports (or supports in principle) 41 of the 44 recommendations and noted three. Work is already underway to address many of the supported recommendations. Since the inquiry commenced, the NSW government has: f Committed $4.5 billion to employ 10,148 full-time equivalent staff over four years, with around 40% of this workforce being for regional areas. f Invested $883 million over four years to attract and retain staff in rural and regional NSW by transforming the way health clinicians are incentivised to work in the bush.

h 9t 1 I EO

f Doubled subsidies across the IPTAAS, with a $149.5 million investment. f Invested $743 million over five years to enhance end-oflife care in NSW. The government’s response to the inquiry coincided with the unveiling of a new ‘Regional Health Ministerial Advisory Panel’ chaired by Richard Colbran, CEO of the NSW Rural Doctors Network. The panel will advise the minister and senior health bureaucrats on opportunities and solutions to improve healthcare, hospital and support services in regional NSW. The government’s response did not particularly impress Narromine shire mayor, Cr Craig Davies, who has been involved in extensive negotiations to retain the services of Trangie VMO, Dr Ashraf Labib. “It’s incongruous to me that while I have to go in and fight and he has to fight for a renewal of his contract, they’re telling us what a wonderful project they have happening in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District doing exactly what is happening here,” said Cr Davies, who made a submission to the inquiry. One of the critical issues that has kept doctors away from rural and remote practices, he said, was the continual on-call requirement and lack of time off. “Why are they fighting me and Dr Labib up here?” he said.

“Myola”, Narromine

Cr Davies also took issue with the proposed 4000-plus staff to be employed in rural areas under the government’s employment commitment. “Where are they going to get these people from, and more importantly, where are they going to live?” he asked, citing housing pressures in many rural areas. In May 2022, the NSW Country Women’s Association (CWA) endorsed an urgent motion at its state conference calling for immediate action to address the crisis in providing primary medical services in hospitals in rural NSW. The CWA particularly supported the inquiry’s suggested review of rural maternity services in the wake of the closure of dozens of hospital birthing units around the state over time. “Just because you choose to live outside our major cities doesn’t mean you should have to tolerate a lower standard of medical care and support,” said Narromine CWA branch president, Jean Richardson. “Expectant mothers and new mothers should feel safe and supported, but what we heard during and after the inquiry was that this is far from the case for those living in rural and regional areas of our state.” With progress on the inquiry recommendations to be reviewed in two years, and a state election looming in March 2023, it will be interesting to see what changes have taken place by that stage.

Narromine NASCA girls go to Garma Contributed by JORDAYNA SMITH, NATIONAL ABORIGINAL SPORTING CHANCE ACADEMY (NASCA) NASCA is thrilled to announce to the community that two of our Narromine NASCA young people, Shakitta Biles and Kh’Tia McKellar, were successful with their applications to attend the Garma Festival of Traditional Culture, held at Gulkula, a beautiful Gumatj ceremonial site on the Gove peninsula in the Northern Territory. Shakitta and Kh’Tia joined 18 other NASCA students for four days of Cultural activities with the Yolgnu people, the traditional custodians of Gulkula. Garma Festival brought together business leaders, students, international political leaders, intellectuals, academics and journalists to discuss the issues facing Australian First Nation peoples. The NASCA team supported their young people throughout the application process and are incredibly proud of all the students

who took the initiative to apply. The competitive application process included an expression of interest asking the students to outline what they hoped to learn from the experience and how they intend to share and display their new knowledge in school and community, highlighting their integrity, Cultural pride and excitement at the opportunity. Shakitta had this to say about her Garma experience: “Garma has given us both the opportunity to pass down our knowledge, and experiences that we had on Country. To say Garma was inspirational to us is beyond an understatement. “It gave us the opportunity to be able to connect with many elders, peers, television networks. We met Tik Tok star JMiller and had a yarn about NASCA, what we were doing here, who our mobs were and our connections to Culture and others. “He told us that he was proud of our young mob for being there and getting out of our comfort zones and making Culture proud,” Shakitta said. Kh’Tia said that she had

learnt a lot about resilience, Culture, food, dance and advocacy: “One thing we brought back home from this experience wasn’t just the friends and immense amount of connection we felt and made, but a major aspect of our learning there was that our voices need to be heard and they will be. “We are both more appreciative of our brothers and sisters, family and friends, education, Culture and much more. And we thank NASCA for giving us this opportunity to go along and make memories that we will never forget,” Kh’Tia said. NASCA Team Lead Jenna Moss, Program Lead Jordayna Smith and Program Lead Ash Bayliss are all incredibly proud of Shakitta and Kh’tia. “That they were able to take part, and were able to represent Narromine NASCA and Narromine High School with pride and integrity means so much. This was an amazing opportunity for them to step out of their comfort zone, make new connections, and learn more about Culture,” Jordayna said.

Our NASCA mob soaked it all in, joining people from across the country and Yolngu clans of north-east Arnhem Land to celebrate art (miny’thi), dance (bunggul), ceremony and song (manikay) at Garma festival. PHOTOS: NASCA.

A switch in time...

By SHARON BONTHUYS IT was a stroke of luck when the old switchboard that Shane Dolton had to monitor and operate every night at the Trangie telephone exchange back in the early 1970s came into his possession. As a fresh-faced sixteen-yearold, Shane started as the “night boy” at the telephone exchange in the old post office in 1974, a job he held for 18 months. Shane had the all-important

role of monitoring the calls that came through the switchboard at night and manually directing them to local connections. Being the “night boy”, Shane did the “graveyard shift” at the exchange which was in a building directly opposite the school in Derribong Street. He told the Narromine Star that not many calls came through overnight, but some connections were on a “party line” meaning people on properties that were part of the par-

Although Shane only stayed in that role for 18 months, the switchboard equipment he monitored – ancient by modern telecommunication standards – stayed in place and in use until the 1980s. He is unsure what happened to it once it was no longer operational, but the equipment was purchased and kept by a local

Trangie resident who eventually gave it to Shane. Shane consulted the team at the Trangie Men’s Shed about restoring the device to its original state, and they took it onboard as a project. Frank Ferrari said the old switchboard presented a bit of a challenge when the Men’s Shed started restoring it. “It was ﬁ lthy dirty when Shane got it and bits of black plastic had broken off. We took all the plastic off, cleaned it up,

Local fundraising initiatives smash goals By SHARON BONTHUYS DURING August some very motivated Narromine Shire locals have gone the distance in aid of good causes, and smashed their fundraising goals along the way. Craig Duff, who lost his father earlier this year to cancer, joined together with cousins Grant Buckley and Megan Murphy to walk, run or ride 388 kilometres in the “Go The Distance” challenge to raise funds in support of Chris O’Brien Lifehouse in Sydney. The Narromine resident braved early morning cold, and the occasional intermittent rain to get moving every day, posting his results on social media. His cousins, who don’t live in Narromine, did the same. Sometimes travelling alone, other times with family and friends, Craig quickly got into the habit of exercising every day. “Some days it was just freezing,” he said. Committed to raising funds for the organisation that provided excellent care to his late father, Richard, “Dicky” Duff, the motivation to get out and get active every day was strong.

Originally only looking to raise a few thousand dollars, the end goal had to be revised several times as they hit their fundraising targets repeatedly through the month, Craig told the Narromine Star. “I didn’t think it would be that popular,” he said. “It’s fantastic that we smashed our own goals.” The Richard “Dicky” Duff Meat Maulers team raised $13,732, well over the revised end goal of $10,000. The team also exceeded their travel target, travelling 392 kilometres over the month. In Trangie, the dedicated team at Cafe 2823 also went the distance in support of the Fred Hollows Foundation. Spokesperson Julie Berry told the Narromine Star that the team of six staff participating in “Fred’s Big Run to Restore Sight” met their goal of walking 100 kilometres each around Trangie over the course of the month. They also smashed their ini- Craig Duff (and his team) tial goal of $1000, raising $3200 raised funds for Chris O’Brian in the process. Lifehouse. PHOTO: FACEBOOK.

Apply now for community drought grants

It’s hard to imagine another drought while it’s so wet and green at the moment, but we know drier times are just around the corner. That’s why it’s so important for our regional communities to start preparing for the next drought now. There’s currently grants of up to $500,000 available for projects that build drought resilience in regions across the Parkes electorate, under the Future Drought Fund’s Community Impact Program. These grants will help rural communities adapt to drier seasons by strengthening their networks and capabilities. Funding could be used for a range of community-led projects including networking events, training and development, capability building and small infrastructure upgrades. I encourage eligible not-forproﬁt organisations in the Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Central Darling, Cobar, Coonamble, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gunnedah, Gwydir, Lachlan, Narrabri, Narromine, Walgett, Warren and Warrumbungle Local Government Areas, as well as Unincorporated NSW, to apply now.

hibition Park in Melbourne – the ceremonial opening site of the fi rst Parliament of Australia. In 1901, following Australia’s Federation, an international flag competition was staged, receiving more than 32,000 entrants. On 3 September 1901, Australia’s First Prime Minister Sir Edmund Barton announced five joint winners of the competition and the key elements of their designs were used to develop the Australian National Flag. Our national flag is a symbol of great importance and unites us all in pride for our country. In saying that, it was an honour to present the North West NSW National Servicemen’s Association Moree branch with an Australian flag during the Nashos’ 70th anniversary reunion held in Moree recently. That particular flag was hung at the entrance to the House of Representatives Chamber in October 2020 when Tony Smith was still the Speaker. Two new flags are flown outside the Chamber each sitting day and as part of the Chamber Flag Program, Members of Parliament are entitled to receive one of these flags each year to present to constituents or organisations, with a certificate signed by the Speaker. I thought it fitting that the Nashos received a Chamber Flag which I’m sure they will be able to put to good use.

Gunnedah poets represent at poetry awards I’d like to congratulate Gunnedah South Public School student Quinn Eyre and the Emu Class from GS Kidd Memorial School in Gunnedah for their success at the 2022 Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards last week.

Like many local volunteer-run clubs, Narromine Little Athletics was hit hard by the drought, and lost a lot of equipment during the mouse plague. This funding will enable

Both poems were very well written and deserving of these awards. Quinn and the Emu Class should be very proud of this honour. I’m pleased I was able to attend the annual poetry awards in Gunnedah to hear all the award-winning poems in person. The talent of our young poets is truly inspiring, and I’m proud the Australian Government funds these awards. Well done to every student from the Parkes electorate who took part in this year’s competition, for having the courage to express themselves through poetry.

Trees to be planted in Dunedoo It was great to catch up with members of the Dunedoo Coolah Landcare Group in Dunedoo recently to hear all about their plans for a big commemorative tree planting event which is set to take place as part of Dunedoo’s bicentenary celebration in October thanks to an $11,400 Commonwealth Government grant. The funding has been provided under the Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee program and will be used to transplant three mature Kurrajong trees to O.L. Milling Park, as well as for the planting of 100 additional trees along the river. The three trees will each represent the theme of the bicentenary celebration – Recognition, Reconciliation and Renewal, acknowledging Dunedoo’s history of Indigenous heritage and European settlement and symbolising growth and a positive future. This project is a fantastic way to honour The Queen’s legacy of tree-planting during her 70-year reign.

The Narromine Soccer Club’s junior ranks are growing fast, and their canteen and storage just can’t keep up. This grant will enable the club to replace the existing shed with a larger structure that can accommodate its needs including equipment storage, toilets, change rooms, and a canteen that can raise more money for the club.

Women’s health week: Rural crime on the rise: minister says book a steps to protect rural property and communities check-up now Contributed by DET. SGT ANDREW MACLEAN, CENTRAL ZONE COORDINATOR, RCPT THE Orana-Mid Western Police District has two Rural Crime Prevention Team (RCPT) Investigators (RCI’s) based in Dubbo and one based in Mudgee. RCI’s work closely with sector Police to address Rural Crime issues and to analyse, monitor and respond to crime trends. Recent instances of rural crime that have occurred in the Narromine area include the theft of an unregistered farm vehicle, trespassing and illegal hunting and fuel theft. As such, the RCPT is reminding landholders and residents to remain vigilant when it comes to on farm security. All farm vehicles should not have keys left in them as they become easy targets for thieves. Firearms should always be kept locked away in an approved safe. Police do not recommend approaching anyone on your land that you don’t know. Take note of registration numbers, descriptions and any other information and immediately contact your local police. While you can’t be everywhere at all times, you can better protect your property and equipment from damage and theft by taking some simple precautions. Here are some simple steps we all can take to better protect ourselves from this type of crime.

Protect your property’s boundaries: f Maintain the integrity of your fences and gates. f Invest in security measures around sheds, fuel and your farm house such as security lighting, alarms, dogs or video surveillance. f Post “No Trespassing” and “Private Property” signs at entry points and near roads surrounding your land.

Protect your property from illegal and irresponsible shooters: f Always use shooters from reputable Shooters Associations or ask each shooter to produce a reference from a farmer in your district and record their identiﬁcation. f Never directly confront trespassers or suspected illegal shooters. f Always record details such as time and date, vehicle registration number, description, exact location and contact police. Consider using a digital camera to record details of trespassers and illegal hunters.

Protect your property and your local community: f Never advertise on social media your travel plans or periods of absence. f Follow – and encourage others to like – the Rural Crime Prevention Team – NSW Police Force on social media. For further advice on farm security matters, please get in touch with your local police or Rural Crime Investigators.

WOMEN are being reminded to book important health check-ups to take care of their physical and mental health during Women’s Health Week (September 5-11). Minister for Women, Regional Health and Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said NSW Health provides a range of services and programs targeted to addressing the health needs of women including cervical and breast cancer screening, fertility treatments, menopause support and mental health services. “Women who are overdue for a cervical or breast cancer screening are urged to book an appointment as soon as possible as these

tests are the best way to detect the early signs of cancer, which could save your life,” Mrs Taylor said. BreastScreen NSW recommends mammograms for women aged 50-74. Women aged under 40 who have a family history of breast cancer should talk to their GP. “Good mental health is essential to your overall health and wellbeing,” Mrs Taylor said. “Staying well is also important for women who may be struggling with infertility, pregnancy, motherhood or menopause.” Women’s Health Week is an annual national event, run by notfor-proﬁt organisation Jean Hailes for Women’s Health.

The team displayed excellent teamwork and were awarded certiﬁcates of participation for their outstanding efforts on the day.

CONGRATULATIONS to our U16s netball team who last week became the state champions of the Combined High Schools Central Schools Netball competition. These girls went through undefeated in the qualifying games earlier in the year with Miss Fawcett, and took on the winners of other zones across the state. Again, the girls came away undefeated after winning all their games against Dunedoo, Balranald, Manilla, Bingara and Coolamon. Mia Gleeson was also awarded the player of the day as determined by the umpires after each game. Well done, Mia, and everyone on the team and thanks to Ms Dimiti Trudgett for helping with transport. Last Wednesday, about 25 sleepy students ventured out to Bourke

Book Week was unforgettable!

at 5.00 am to participate in the annual ‘Ronny Gibbs 7s’ competition for rugby league and netball. We all enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day playing against schools from Warren to Lightning Ridge (and many in between). Mr Jones’ footy players combined with some Warren boys to form a side and they were able to join the competition. On the netball courts we had teams in the U14s and the Opens. Miss Fawcett’s U14s coming away with a victory at the end of the day! Last week, the K-6 children participated in a ukulele workshop with a visiting musician. It was such a dynamic workshop, with the children each learning how to handle the ukuleles, which ﬁ ngers to use and then getting stuck into learning notes and chords. There were lots of laughs as the children struggled with manoeuvring their ﬁ ngers and learnt to strum with musicality. Mr Mulholland,

our music teacher will build upon these skills in his upcoming class music lessons. To ﬁ nish off Book Week last week, our students visited the town library and had a luncheon and dress up parade. The Town Library visit was interesting as the students got to see and hear a few of the shortlisted books for 2022. We recommend that all of our families get on board and support the public libraries in their towns. They are such a brilliant community resource. After that, we were joined by so many of our families to enjoy a sausage sizzle and then watch the children parading in their costumes. In Science, the highlight of the week was Stage 4’s trip to The Dish in Parkes. Students were treated to some spectacular 3D movies about the history of Parkes and what the future of space exploration might look like.

Father’s Night at Preschool Contributed by LOUISE SIMPSON ON Wednesday, August 31, Narromine Preschool held its annual Father’s Night after a twoyear break due to COVID. It was a lovely night with about 60 dads in attendance. The rooms and playground were set up as usual, so the dads or special male friend could see all the fun things their children do and learn while at preschool. Dads and children played and painted together, built with Lego, read a story, constructed with boxes, or showed off their skills on the monkey bars or in a game of touch footy or soccer outside. Many thanks to all the dads who attended. It was a very special night for the preschoolers and their dads and was an early Father’s Day present from the children. We look forward to next year.

GERRIES GOLF

Small field contests weekly comp Contributed by NORM LEWIS

LAST week, despite it being a nice warm afternoon, only seven Gerrie golfers lined up for the weekly competition played on the back nine at “Royal Narromine.” The course at the moment is the best it has been for many years, no doubt attributed to the work the club volunteer curators are doing to prepare it for the major events coming up. With only a small ﬁeld and slow conditions, some very good scores were recorded. The Gerries’ hard working organiser, Terry Willis, must have been practising as he returned a score of 25 points to win the comp easily, with nearest rival Greg Kearines on 20 points. A convincing win for Terry. “Boof “ Fraser won the NAGA event for the second week running, with 17 points. There was no nearest-the-pin

winner again. In the pool competition, there was only one match this week with Norm Lewis and Bob Fletcher against Greg Kearines and Terry Willis. The latter won, creating an unreal situation where Willis and Kearines won the double (ﬁ rst and second in the golf and winners of the pool comp). A great effort, Terry and Greg, congratulations to you both. There is no truth in the rumour their opponents ran dead to allow them to win the two titles. Next week the Gerries play the front nine. Will you be playing?. A reminder to all Gerries who are members of the Veterans Club, nominate now for the State Men’s Sand Green Fourball Championships to be played at Narromine next week. There is also a comp for the ladies. That’s all for another week, see you at the 19th.

Lots happening with ladies’ golf Contributed by DALE HARDING, PRESIDENT. LAST Wednesday was a great day for golf! We played a four-ball aggregate for a trophy donated by Anne Harmer and Jeanette Redden, and we also had a presentation of the August trophies and lunch. Trophy winners were Kim Handsaker and Anne Harmer with 31 stableford points, with runners up Vicki Gainsford and Bev Woods with 30 points. The drawn card was won by Viv Halbisch and Judy Heckendorf. Saturday’s golf saw a small ﬁeld compete for a trophy donated by the club. The winner for nine holes was Anne Harmer with 17 points, and the 18-hole ball winner was Dale Harding with 28

points. Nearest the pins went to Wendy Jeffery, Dale Harding and Carol McCalman. We also played the ﬁ nal round of the monthly medal. This Saturday we are playing a stroke round for a trophy donated by Wendy Jeffery and next week sees the playoffs for the monthly medals. The trophies will be presented on presentation night. The-18 hole trophy is the McLachlan Shield and the nine-hole trophy is donated by Jean Richardson. There is also a nine and 18-hole stroke round for non-qualiﬁers in the playoffs. We are also having a chip in for a local charity to be decided on the day so please bring your small change. See you on the course.

Narromine Jets U16 fly sky high in grand final

By TIM COOPER THE Under 16’s Narromine Jets’ U16’s soared to win an incredible grand final against the Nyngan Tigers in the Dubbo District Junior Rugby League on September 3. At full time, the final score 30-26 showed exactly how tight the game was. The scores were tied at the full-time siren and even after a 10-minute golden point period, the teams were still locked at 26 points a piece. A third and fi nal golden point round was then

played and the Jets’ second-rower, Ashton Coleman, scored to give the win to Narromine. The players, the coaching staff and the crowd were all elated and exhausted after one of the toughest fought games from the entire season. The Nyngan Tigers could hold their head high after coming from fourth to so narrowly missing the coveted title. An impressive performance from both teams, the grand ﬁ nal brings an end to an intense season. Bring on 2023!

Quiet weekend for golfers, despite rain staying away Contributed by NORM LEWIS AND KALE BOCK DESPITE having a rain-free weekend, it was a very quiet time for golf in Narromine. Local clashes with the Narromine Show and the Jets’ semi-fi nal against Gilgandra were a factor. Sorry to hear the Jets went down in their match but let’s hope they can pick it up next week to win a place in the grand fi nal. Back to golf. On Saturday a field of only four players took part in the stableford comp and the winner was Chris Peter on a count back. Well done, Chris. On Sunday, a 4BBB was played over 18 holes and the winners were Chris Harding and Rob Williams with 39 points on a count back. Only three points separated the team and

there were no jackpot winners. This weekend we’ll have an 18-hole stroke for the monthly medal and an 18-hole Stableford (GA Handicap). Junior golf will is on as usual on Sunday. Veterans golf this weekend features a nine-hole Stableford on the front nine in conjunction with the Medal Comp. It’s an honour to be invited to conduct the NSWVGA Men’s Sand Green State Fourball Championship at Narromine which will attract golfers from all over the state. We have received entries from Yamba, Walcha, Port Kembla and Toukley along with Western local clubs. There will also be competitions for the ladies. That’s about it for another week, see you all at the 19th.

Money, money, money for racing

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES THE latest rise in prizemoney for country racing continues the phenomenal growth in returns, particularly over the last decade. From 1970 onwards the rate of increases was relatively slow-moving unlike more recently with city trainers becoming more frequent on country tracks and country trainers taking on bigger numbers as the prizemoney gets signiﬁcantly better. Very well-known in racing are the Molloy families from Forbes and Cowra and their returns over the years from success in the Forbes Cup are

interesting to note. Cowra trainer Bill Molloy, now retired, won the 1978 Forbes Cup with Prince Arcadus ridden by Reg Paine and owned by Len Twigg with the ﬁ rst prizemoney being $400. In the late 1980s the Forbes Cup worth about $3000 to the winner was won by Gold Fallacy trained at Forbes by Barry Molloy, the uncle of Bill Molloy. Andrew Molloy, the son of Bill Molloy, had received his trainer’s licence shortly before the 1999 Forbes Cup which he won with Flabbergasted, the ﬁ rst prizemoney being $6500. Fast forward to July 2022 and the Forbes Cup won by the Barbara Joseph and Jones brothers, Sapp-hire Coast trained One Aye carried prizemoney of $50,000 overall and $22,000 to the winner.

Even when the purchasing power of the dollar over long spans of time is taken into account, the real increase in prizemoney is more than substantial. The $400 won by Prince Arcadus in the 1978 Forbes Cup was about equivalent to fourweeks’ pay on the minimum wage while the $22,000 won by One Aye in the 2022 Forbes Cup is about equivalent to 24-weeks’ pay on the minimum wage. On the Sydney scene in relation to the above story, Tom Molloy, cousin of Barry Molloy, rode Le Toff, winner of the Corinthian Handicap at Randwick in 1969, the ﬁ rst race following the opening of the new Queen Elizabeth 11 Stand. Owned and trained by Harry Sutherland and Bill Molloy snr from Cowra, the race was

worth $1860 to the winner. (Midweek races in Sydney now have a minimum $55,000 total prizemoney). Back on the central west scene and the Dubbo Cup in 1989 was worth $10,000 and next Sunday $100,000 is on offer for the Dubbo Gold Cup. Surfacing recently was a report regarding the 1974/1975 season in the Western Districts Racing Association (WDRA). Head office was located at Orange and the secretary was Tony King who had a long and highly successful career as an administrator in both the country and city. Following are the 1974/1975 premiership winners and placegetters together with the total prizemoney won by their mounts.

Jockeys Ray (Spike) Jones: 42 wins and $25,460. Merv Singho: 36 wins and $21,584. Keith Ashton: 28 wins and $16,375. This was the 10th premiership won by Ray Jones and worth noting the $25,460 won by his 42 winners (and placegetters) is about the same for a single race this month at a normal country TAB meeting. Bookmakers holdings for 105 meetings amounted to more than eight-million dollars. Apprentices Kim Dougherty: 29 wins and $18,450. David Stanley: 20 wins and $12,850. Michael Marks: 14 wins and $6955. Leading sire Basalt: 24 wins and $11,485.

Soccer and Little Athletics clubs get a boost By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Soccer Club has received $172,000 from the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants Program to refurbish amenities at Dundas Oval. The funds will help replace the existing shed with a larger structure to accommodate its needs including equipment storage, toilets, change rooms and canteen facility. “The Narromine Soccer Club’s junior ranks are growing fast, and their canteen and storage just can’t keep up,” said Member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders, during a visit to Narromine on August 31. Soccer club president David O’Brien hoped the new amenities block would get locals talking in the sport-loving community. “The shed’s a mess – we’ve just got so much equipment in there that we just can’t ﬁt it – and it’ll be nice to have some decent canteen facilities to improve the quality and make a bit more money for the club,” Mr O’Brien said. “It’ll give the club a presence in the town,” Mr O’Brien said. “We’d like to let the town know Narromine does have a soccer team, and hopefully that can help us increase players – that’s the goal!” During his visit, Mr Saunders also caught up with Narromine Little Athletics, which

has also benefited from grant funding. The Narromine Little Athletics Recovery Project received $4,010 from the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program program. “This funding will enable the club to replace their marquee, which is crucial for providing shelter for the athletes during the scorching summer months, as well as equipment to establish a tiny tots program,” Mr Saunders said. For children aged three to five years, the tiny tots program includes skills-based games focused on participation and fun. The fundamental skills of running, jumping and throwing are approached through age-appropriate activities using rope ladders, mini-hurdles, hoops, little bean bags, or playing with the big parachute. Tots can also participate in athletics events such as long jump or a 50-metre run. “The tiny tots equipment will enable Narromine Little Athletics to be more inclusive, offering programs not just for the little ones, but for children with disability as well,” Mr Saunders said. “There are currently limited opportunities for children with disability to be involved in sport in Narromine, so I commend the club on this initiative to get more kids enjoying the many social and physical benefits of keeping active.”

Gilgandra gets grand final, Roosters stay alive! fitness due to a number of byes in the lead up to the game. The Roosters led 23 to 8 halfway through the second half, but the tenacious Terriers did not go away and it was only two tries in the fi nal five minutes to the home side that saw them get home 33 to 14. The Roosters’ win keeps their premiership hopes alive and they will now face off against the Narromine Jets in Narromine next Saturday, with the winner to face Gilgandra the following Saturday in the grand fi nal.

THE Gilgandra Panthers secured the rights to host the 2022 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League grand final when they managed to hold off a fast fi nishing Narromine Jets outfit in the major semi-final played at Narromine last Saturday. The Panthers prevailed in what was a tense fi nish to an entertaining and hard fought encounter where the scoreboard read 20 to 16 at half time. The visitors stretched that lead out to 32 to 16 midway through the second half before the Jets surged back with two converted tries, the last one being with just three minutes remaining on the clock. In a grandstand fi nish that had the crowd on the edge of their seats, Gilgandra came away with a 32 to 28 victory and the home ground advantage on grand fi nal day. Joining them at Tony McGrane Oval in Gilgandra on Saturday, September 17 will be the Binnaway Bombshells reserve grade side who blasted the Narromine Jets off the park with an emphatic 46 to 4 win, as will the Baradine Magpies league tag side that managed a 12 to 8 victory over the Dunedoo Swannettes in another high standard and enthralling game between the two clubs. On Sunday, the focus shifted to Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval for the minor semi-fi nals which opened with a highly entertaining reserve grade fi xture between Gilgandra and Gulgong. The Panthers seemed to have it all sewn up when they held a 20 to 6 lead in the second

half but two converted tries to the Terriers in the space of three minutes at the back end of the second half set up a gripping ﬁ nale to the game which saw Gilgandra just get home 20 to 18. Equally gripping was the league tag game between Narromine and Coonamble, with the Jets seemingly in control at half time leading 16 to 4. The break did the Bearettes no harm because at the 15 minute mark of the second half they had somehow scored three tries, one converted, and

they led 18 to 16. The Jets did respond with a converted try with eight minutes remaining on the clock and the held on to their 22 to 18 lead to book their spot in the preliminary fi nal against Dunedoo next Saturday. In fi rst grade, the Cobar Roosters came up against the Gulgong Terriers and whilst they came away with a seemingly comfortable 33 to 14 win, they were well and truly given a run for their money by a Terrier outfit that was somewhat underdone in terms of match
