Hospital slit lamp a game changer for eye injuries By SHARON BONTHUYS

By SHARON BONTHUYS CASEY Martin, an underground bogger operator with Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO), won the Thiess Outstanding Australian Tradeswoman, Operator or Technician Award at the BHP 2022 Women in Resources National Awards last week. Casey was recognised for her outstanding professional capability and support for women’s career advancement in the mining and resources sector at a gala event staged by the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra on September 6. The award comes just three months after Casey took out the NSW award in the same category. Casey’s latest award was one of ﬁve categories of national awards to be presented on the night, celebrating the diversity and contributions that women bring to the mining and resources sector. The other awards included Women in Resources Technical Innovation (Emily Jaques), Gender Diversity Champion in Australian Resources (Michelle Wetherell), Exceptional Young Woman in Australian Resources (Elle Farris), and Exceptional Woman in Australian Resources (Lydia Gentle OAM).

A new piece of equipment donated to the Narromine Health Service is set to be a game changer in the treatment of eye injuries for residents in communities across the central west. A ‘slit lamp’ arrived at the hospital at the end of August, made possible through the fundraising efforts of the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary. It is believed to be the only specialist eye examination equipment of its kind to be found at a rural hospital for hundreds of kilometres. The slit lamp is a critical diagnostic tool that enables the general practitioners (GPs)/ visiting medical officers (VMOs) at Narromine Health Service to examine patients on site who present with foreign bodies in their eyes, and other eye issues. This will save patients from having to travel to Dubbo to seek help from Dubbo Base Hospital or an optometrist, thereby removing an additional burden from those facilities needing to treat out-ofarea patients with eye issues. It’s a game changer, according to Narromine GP/VMO Dr Andy Caldin, who said he believed Narromine’s slit lamp will help eye injury patients presenting from many communities across the region. Smaller health facilities further west, such as Trangie,

THE Narromine Jets capped off a stellar year with the announcement last week that it was among the major award winners in the annual NSW Rugby League (NSWRL) Community Awards. “The 2022 NSWRL Community Club of the Year, the Narromine Jets, have been recognised for the work they do in supporting their community, as well as for fundraising initiatives to provide training for their volunteers, overcoming the challenges around staging home games caused by delays to

the redevelopment of their ground, and an executive decision to change groups to protect the club’s viability in the community,” the NSWRL announced via press release on September 6. The club was presented with the award at the preliminary ﬁ nal game at Cale Oval on September 10. NSWRL board member and Narromine icon, Bob Walsh, made the presentation. Narromine Shire Council mayor, Cr Craig Davies, also participated in the formalities. The Narromine Jets joined Victor Wright (Indigenous Volunteer of the

Year), and Push and Power’s Ralph Hasna (Inclusive Volunteer), along with 11 Regional Volunteer of the Year winners honoured by the NSWRL for giving up their time as volunteers, officials, coaches, and referees to ensure the organisation can run community football at more than 800 clubs across the state. The awards acknowledge the invaluable collective contribution made by more than 26,000 volunteers across the state. Receiving the award, Jets president Michael Burns said: “It’s pleasing our work is being seen. We are not just a footy club,

we pride ourselves in being part of the community.” He thanked NSWRL and the Jets family of volunteers. On social media, the Jets posted this message: “We are so proud of our club and our achievements on and off the ﬁeld. To be recognised for the work in which we put into our club and community is a great honour. “Thank you to all the members of the Jets family, volunteers, players, sponsors, supporters that continue to support us. We can’t do and achieve what we do without you.” Congratulations, Narromine Jets!

Hospital slit lamp a game changer for eye injuries Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

Dr Andy Caldin demonstrates how the slit lamp is used. From page 1 “The virtual care doctors won’t be able to confidently deal with [eye] injuries so they can call us and send the patients here.” The state of the art, Japanese-made equipment cost $12,600, the funds for which were raised through the dedicated efforts of the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary. The slit lamp has a high-powered LED lamp and strong magnification ability that enables the GP/ VMO to examine all parts of the eye. Auxiliary president, Daphne Johnson, said the group had worked hard to raise the funds and acknowledged the key donations from Tomingley Gold Operations, Mudyigalang Many Hands Craft Group, Narromine Rotary Club, and local resident Bob Treseder which had helped make the purchase possible. “Dr Caldin convinced us that there was a community need for this equipment,” Daphne said. In an agriculture-reliant region there are many opportunities for eye injuries to occur. Some are seasonal, with a huge influx occurring around harvest

time. Dr Caldin said that eye injuries from Narromine and surrounding areas are generated by dust and seeds from agricultural crops during harvest, dust from mining and construction, metal grinding from maintenance and fabrication industries, and mud from beneath vehicles, to name a few. “The key thing is that this equipment allows us to treat patients in an emergency and manage foreign bodies locally, without having to send patients to Dubbo,” Dr Caldin said. “I can also speak to Sydney eye specialists and say ‘this is what I’ve found’, and do it all from here without necessarily having to send them to Dubbo. The majority of things we see here I’ll be able to ﬁ x with this [slit lamp],” he said. “This is an essential tool and it’s so good to have one.” Once it becomes known locally and across the central west that Narromine has a slit lamp, Dr Caldin expects the hospital could potentially see between 10 to 15 patients a week presenting with foreign body

and other eye issues. No doubt this will keep Dr Caldin and fellow GP/VMO Dr Marina Tadross very busy. It may also encourage farmers and local residents who may not wish to or may not be able to afford to travel to Dubbo to seek help locally, he said. The Narromine Health Service has repurposed an existing room on site to create a dedicated, eye treatment room to house the slit lamp and treat patients in a space fully equipped with a sink, toilet and shower. “We can wash out a chemical injury and if necessary decontaminate a patient in the shower,” Dr Andy said, describing the space as “perfect.” Members of the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary joined hospital staff on September 13 to see the equipment their donation had purchased and the new eye treatment room. “I think we can all appreciate how valuable and lucky the Narromine community is to have this,” Daphne told the group. Dr Caldin and health service manager Sanu Joy said the team was pleased to be able to show the hos-

pital auxiliary members the new equipment that is now available thanks to their efforts, and how the hospital has repurposed space to appropriately support its clinical use. “The slit lamp is just one key piece of equipment that this hospital auxiliary has donated to the health service over the years,” added Aboriginal health practitioner Peter Payne. The group’s stellar fundraising efforts have already provided a bladder scanner, syringe driver and lifter among many other things of great clinical value to the Narromine Health Service, he said. With the game-changing slit lamp now in use, locals and visitors are in very good hands if they present to the hospital with a foreign body or other eye injury.

TGO’s Casey Martin wins national mining award

From page 1 “The awards showcase what women are achieving in the mining and resources sector and how much value they add to it,” Casey told the Narromine Star. “When I ﬁ rst started out there weren’t too many women at all. It’s been amazing to watch that progress and what women add to the industry through value,” Casey said. It has been 17 years since Casey started working in the sector, starting out at the Peak Gold Mine near Cobar. During her career she has also worked for CSA Mine Glencore Xstrata and Endeavour Operations Pty Ltd. She moved to join the Tomingley Gold Operations team in June 2021, creating history in the process as the ﬁ rst woman to work underground at the local mine site just outside Tomingley township. The experienced un-

derground bogger operator is responsible for operating heavy machinery loaders in person and via remote control at TGO’s mine site. Seeing their loved one receive the highest honour in her ﬁeld was a very proud moment for Casey’s family including parents Phil and Chrissy Gilligan, brother Tom, and uncle Col Thomas, who also attended the awards along with TGO’s General Manager Operations, Jason Hughes. TGO management and staff are thoroughly supportive of Casey and thrilled that her achievements are being recognised. “We’re very proud of Casey and what she has achieved, not only recently but over her whole career in mining. She started out [at a time] when it wasn’t easy for females,” Jason Hughes told the Narromine Star. The mining and resources sector now employs 57,000 women

across Australia, up from 9,000 at the start of the new millennium, according to the MCA. TGO has an increasingly diverse staff and is committed to improving the participation of women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in its operations. Jason said that Casey’s skills, abilities, work ethic and attitude were important factors in her employment with TGO. Winning the national award in her ﬁeld last week simply highlights and reinforces those qualities, Jason said. What does the future hold for Casey career-wise? “Somewhere down the line I’d like to move into a Shift Boss role. Right now I’m really enjoying what I’m doing as a bogger operator,” Casey said. Well done, Casey! Tomingley Gold Operations is a proud Foundation Sponsor of the Narromine Star.

Tradies in Sight to visit Narromine on “real reconnections” tour By SHARON BONTHUYS DUBBO-BASED mental health and wellbeing organisation Tradies in Sight (TIS) will visit Narromine on a tour of central west communities that starts later this month. The not-for-proﬁt organisation has received $10,000 from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) to conduct “The Real Reconnections Tour”. Founder Bruno Efoti said the grant will enable his organisation to take the TIS mental health and wellbeing message to tradies and men in central west communities. “The Real Reconnections Tour is about [TIS] reconnecting with isolated communities where tradies and men may not be able to access the right support and help they need,” Bruno said. “There is a lot of good support around us. We just need to know where to ﬁ nd it.

“We can start by having a conversation and caring for each other, and long term, we have professional services they can tap into,” Bruno said. The grant to TIS was one of fourteen mental health initiatives across remote, rural and regional Australia to share in $204,607 in grants awarded through FRRR’s “In a Good Place” program. These grants support grassroots, community driven projects that increase social participation, help to reduce social isolation and encourage community members who are at risk of, or are experiencing, mental health issues to seek help. With the FRRR grants announced on August 31, TIS has wasted no time scheduling the ﬁ rst stop on the Real Reconnections tour, which will visit Nyngan next week. Dates for Narromine, Tullamore, Coonamble and Dubbo are yet to

be announced. Bruno is hard at work sourcing venues to catch up with tradies and men at the other locations. The tour is an exciting development for TIS, which formed speciﬁcally to ﬁ ll the gap that existed in the mental health space for tradies and men. “I was a carpenter for 20 years and I didn’t see any accessible services to really address the issues with young people and our tradies,” Bruno said. “I lost a couple of mates to suicide very early on and realised we needed to have services accessible to our own people. I left the industry to train as a counsellor because I knew I needed that skill to be able to help others. “It’s an invaluable skill to be able to know how to tune in, listen well, to know what they need and to be a comfort. There’s such a stigma around seeking help. We just don’t do it as men,” he said.

“The level of comfortability we have, the level of safety we put in place, the more likely they will be to seek help and start a conversation. [As men,] we’ve been told to ‘suck it up’ and ‘toughen up’ but gone are the days of keeping it to ourselves and suffering. “We’ve got to help each other out. We’ve got to do this together,” Bruno said. The Narromine Star asked Bruno if he had witnessed any change in employers supporting the mental health of their workforces. “We’ve been doing this for the last four years and in that time I have seen a small shift in that mentality. There is still a lot of work to be done but workplaces are beginning to embrace and look out for the wellbeing of their staff which is just amazing to see,” he said. Bruno is being invited out to more workplaces to start conversations and conduct wellbeing workshops. He said

workplaces are realising that it’s important for staff to manage their mental health and a priority for the workplaces to be part of that process. TIS also received a donation of $3,773 on August 20 from the Narromine Jets rugby league club, which has a very strong focus on mental health and wellbeing for its members. “The Jets have always and will always continue to play our part in normalising the conversation around mental health, contributing to reducing the unnecessary stigma around mental health and providing information on and around support services available,” the club proudly stated on social media recently. The club received an award from the National Rugby League last month for its work in the “State of Mind” mental health space. Bruno said the support from grassroots sporting organisations like the

Narromine Jets for mental health initiatives, particularly for younger age groups, was so important. “The suicide rates start from 15 years, and the 15 to 25 years age group is very vulnerable. We’re working very hard within that age group. Just knowing the Narromine Jets are also working to promote this is so important, especially for those young ones who might feel isolated and disconnected from others,” Bruno said, greatly appreciative of the club’s donation to TIS.

THE Trangie library currently hosts a display of memorabilia from the old Masonic Lodge that existed in the town for several decades. Several boards containing the names of past Lodge Masters and honour rolls, as well as other information about the lodge are currently on display in the library.

Memories of Masonic Lodge Trangie No. 377. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

Grand Masonic Lodge of NSW to start the lodge at Trangie was sponsored by Masonic Lodge Warren No. 266 in October 1913, and its charter approved. However, it was never consecrated at that time, nor was a charter issued or meetings held, according to the historical documents. It wasn’t until January 1921 that the United Grand Masonic Lodge was petitioned again, this time sponsored by Masonic Lodge Narromine No. 236. The petition was approved and a charter issued,

and Masonic Lodge Trangie No. 377 came into existence on April 19, 1921. Three years later, a Masonic temple in Dandaloo Street was dedicated, only to be “ruined by a cyclone” on April 6, 1926. Following this difficult time, the new building was dedicated on October 11, 1927. Trangie Lodge No. 377 closed at some point after the 1988-89 year. Former past Master Barry Hamblin (1985-86, 1986-87) does not recall when the lodge actually closed.

“I discussed this with Les McKinnon, another Lodge member, just the other day and he can’t remember when it closed either,” Barry told the Narromine Star. Barry said that the Trangie Lodge closed when its membership dwindled to the point where the group was unsustainable. “With no new members coming on board we just couldn’t carry on. Warren went the same way, and Narromine,” he said. Barry said that the collec-

THURSDAY, September 22, has been declared a public holiday in NSW following the announcement by the Prime Minister that a national day of mourning will take place on that date for the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. How the public holiday will impact service industries and planned events across NSW at this stage is yet unknown. News outlets are reporting that NSW Health Minister, Brad Hazzard, said that patients with surgery booked on that day should presume that it will go ahead unless contacted by their hospitals. The Narromine Star is aware that the proposed NAIDOC events at Trangie on September 22 have been rescheduled to take place on October 20, after the school holidays.

By SHARON BONTHUYS WHEN she passed away on September 8, aged 96, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II had reigned for just over 70 years. She visited the central west NSW twice during her 16 official visits to Australia while Queen. The ﬁ rst time she visited Dubbo was on February 10, 1954, several months after her coronation in 1953. The 1954 tour of Australia lasted 58 days and took in an incredible 57 towns and cities. Ten of those days were spent in NSW. Her Majesty returned to Dubbo for a day on February 21, 1992, where, among other things, she visited the Western Plains Zoo, Macquarie Street, the School of Distance Education and had lunch. It was part of a much shorter Royal visit to Australia, of just seven days’ duration.

On both occasions, Queen Elizabeth was accompanied by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. He passed away just short of his 100th birthday in April 2021. The couple had been married for 73 years. For anyone born during and after the early 1950s, Queen Elizabeth II was the only English monarch to rule during their lifetimes. Her likeness is on our metric coin currency, which has been in place since the late 1960s. Senior legal officers have been called Queen’s Counsel. In time, all of these things will change as society adapts to her successor, King Charles III. The Queen made a famous speech on her 21st birthday in April 1947 declaring that her entire life would be devoted to service. She truly lived those words. Vale, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

CWA still advocating for better services for bush women 100 years on

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) celebrated the centenary of parent body CWA NSW with a morning tea, display and talk at the Narromine Library on September 8. The event coincided with CWA Awareness Week, the focus of which “draws attention to the challenges facing our regional and rural communities,” said branch President, Jean Richardson. “The [CWA] focus in 2022 is on the critical need for improvement to maternity services in the bush as a matter of urgency. “When we were young [and pregnant] we were given ad-

vice and we had people to talk to. Apparently there is nothing like that anymore,” Jean said. Advocating for better access to and appropriate availability of maternity services is nothing new to the century-old organisation, she said, indicating caring for mothers and babies was an important focus point for the organisation when it ﬁ rst started. “In the association’s centenary year it seems ﬁtting we should highlight ongoing issues in this critical healthcare area, and continue voicing the concerns and frustrations of rural and regional communities over safe, skilled and accessible healthcare for expectant mothers, women, women

in labour and newborns,” Jean said. “It will be interesting to see just how far this goes and if it ever does get back to what it should be.” Jean also told the gathering that the Narromine branch is preparing to celebrate its own centenary in 2023. The local branch started within a year of the parent organisation being founded. The members are yet to determine how the local centenary will be celebrated at this stage, she said. Jean presented a book celebrating the CWA NSW centenary to library coordinator Gabby Teale-McEvoy on behalf of the branch and thanked the library staff for taking such interest in the CWA.

“There are lots of interesting things in [“The Women Who Changed Country Australia”] which you will enjoy, even if you’re not a member of CWA,” Jean said. Gabby told the gathering that she had grown up with the CWA in her family. “Country towns have been built on the back of this organisation and we owe a great deal to [those ladies],” Gabby said. The display at Narromine Library showcased the history and talents of the branch, including photos, information and recipe books, crafts, and information about members through the years. Intricate handiwork by members was also on display in the glass

cabinets. CWA members from Narromine, Dubbo and Peak Hill attended the event, as well as visitors from Timbrebongie House and members of the public. Dianne Martin from Dubbo has been in the CWA all her life, joining as a junior member in 1963. “My mother was three when her mother took her along to CWA and she was 93 when she died and still in it,” Dianne said. Ruth Hando from Peak Hill, a member of the Narromine branch, has been a member for 42 years. She said it was incredible that the CWA was still advocating for things that were relevant to women in the bush a century ago.

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

Vale Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II AUSTRALIA, and the world, is in mourning following the terribly sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II last week. For many of us, Queen Elizabeth was the only monarch we have ever known. She provided stability, strength and reassurance to the people of the Commonwealth throughout her 70-year reign, and was loved by millions. The Queen dedicated her life to serving the people and will be remembered as one of history’s greatest monarchs. She certainly leaves an extraordinary legacy. My thoughts are with the Royal Family and all those who are saddened by this news. Vale Queen Elizabeth II. God save The Queen. A condolence book has been established in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Anyone wishing to express sympathy can do so by signing the online condolences form on the

Pave the Way to Gular I HAD the pleasure of ofﬁcially opening the 2022 Pave the Way to Gular Festival on Sunday. The town of Gulargambone was transformed into a sea of colour and festivities for the fourth street art festival, and I was so impressed by the fantastic murals created by the talented artists during this year’s event. New murals are now dotted throughout town, as well as on the three purpose-built billboards that were erected in Jean Walker Park. I am pleased that the former Coalition Government granted $39,600 in funding through the Festivals Australia program for the construction of these three billboards, providing extra space for the artists to create murals during this year’s festival. We also provided $32,000 through the RISE Fund to pay for the artists. If you missed the festival, I highly recommend a drive out to Gulargambone to see all the colourful murals in person.

very end. Her Late Majesty went on to become the longest-reigning British monarch, Australian sovereign and leader of the Commonwealth of Nations, which she navigated for seven decades – with dignity, courage and commitment. As Queen, she was a beacon of hope to many through some dark and difficult times, most recently the pandemic that has changed our lives forever. Her strength and courage never wavered, even as she shared her most private moments with the world; the deaths of her father, sister, mother and husband among them. Still she navigated a fast-changing world with

poise, and never forgot her pledge to serve her people with empathy, compassion and grace. She was the ﬁ rst reigning British monarch to visit Australia, setting foot for the ﬁ rst time on Australian soil in 1954 at Farm Cove in Sydney Harbour, where an unprecedented crowd of more than one million people greeted her. The public’s overwhelming jubilation and enthusiasm at seeing the young monarch was the beginning of the state’s long-held joy in her frequent visits, including many to regional NSW. Our region was lucky enough to welcome her not once, but twice, in 1954, and again in 1992. She was loved by millions across the world and will remain so.

I extend my deepest sympathies to all members of the Royal family who have not only lost a great leader but a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. We thank them for sharing her with us. The reign of King Charles III is now officially underway after proclamations across the Commonwealth, including Australia. The proclamation is an official acknowledgement of the change of monarch. On Sunday, the federal executive council met in Government House, Canberra, where they recommended the ascension of King Charles III to the Governor General, David Hurley. This was followed by a public proclamation by the Governor General at Parliament House, Canberra. In Sydney, the NSW Gov-

ernor Margaret Beazley proclaimed King Charles III the King during the ceremony at NSW Parliament House on Sunday as well. It was moving to see so many hundreds of thousands of Australians lining the streets to witness the historic occasion, and pay their respects.

Speech pathology program helps Narromine Shire kids By SHARON BONTHUYS WEEKLY speech pathology visits to Narromine and fortnightly visits to Trangie are helping children as part of a wider program run by the Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN). Marathon Health (MH) provides these services to both communities through the WNSW PHN program which has funded speech pathology programs since 2016. The program aims to improve the longer-term health outcomes for children at risk of developmental delays by providing early intervention speech pathology services. “Western NSW children are currently accessing around 750 speech pathology sessions each quarter, while the overall speech pathology program has a particular focus on the ﬁ rst 2000 days of life (children under ﬁve and a half years

of age),” said a WNSW PHN spokesperson. Kylie Irvin, speech therapy discipline lead with MH, told the Narromine Star: “We have two speech pathologists travelling to Narromine every week. They see children under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and also some PHN funded services in preschools, daycares and schools. There are also some fee-for-services arrangements in place for children in the community. “Our speech pathologists are person-centred and like to work with children in the environments that they are in. This might be their home, their daycare or preschool or seeing children at school and collaborating with their teachers to best support the children. “We travel to see children Trangie every fortnight during two out of four school terms, under the PHN speech patholo-

gy program,” Kylie said. Families and service providers can refer children for speech pathology if they have concerns about a child’s speech and language development, or concerns with how a child is managing social skills and getting along with friends, or eating and drinking safely, Kylie said. “We operate in a family-centred way, where parents and carers are involved as much as they can be in therapy and supporting the needs of the child,” she said. “We are able to see children of all ages, right up to adults through different funding options. The priority group for Western PHN funded speech pathology service is under 5 and a half years.” Enquiries and referrals (regardless of whether the child or family has NDIS funding or not) can be made by contacting Marathon Health.

Spray Day held at Narromine

Over 100 people attended the GRDC spray day in Narromine. PHOTOS: ICAN PTY LTD

Gordon Cumming, Manager Chemical Regulation, GRDC.

The well attended event covered a range of spray-related discussion topics.

NEW technology and the concept of an industry social licence has changed the way grain growers spray their crops and what they have to consider. To discuss these changes and how growers can capitalise on them, the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) hosted two Spray Days in the northern region this month, focusing on spray technology and innovation. The GRDC Spray Days were held at the Narromine Aero Club on September 12 and at the Temora Agricultural Innovation Centre (Farmlink), on September 13. Over 100 people attended the Narromine session. GRDC northern region Grower Relations Manager Vicki Green said that the Spray Days will assist growers in making more informed decisions on spray equipment investment and how to use technology for optimum beneﬁt. “There are so many new technologies around. We felt there was a need for a forum where growers can be exposed to a large cross-section of these and to discuss some of the issues being confronted by our industry,” she said. “In designing the GRDC Spray Days, we invited innovative machinery and software developers to be on-hand to discuss their technology innovations with growers.” Mrs Green said topics for the sessions were selected by a local panel of growers and advisers to ensure they were

relevant to growers and will include things like the concept of a social licence, maximum residue limits (MRLs), changes to 2,4-D use, optimising glyphosate efficiency and reducing spray drift risk. Of particular interest, a session led by GRDC Manager Chemical Regulation, Gordon Cumming, on the new network of inversion towers to identify the presence of hazardous temperature inversions. Mr Cumming said that adverse spray conditions, particularly the prevalence of temperature inversions at night during summer, can greatly reduce the number of spray hours available to growers. “The network will for the ﬁ rst time provide applicators with real time data including the presence or absence of ‘hazardous temperature inversions’, on a localised basis,” he said. “This will enable applicators to maximise their spray hours whilst meeting their spray drift compliance obligations.” There was a strong focus on spray technology at the events, especially weed detection technology, which Mrs Green says has been extremely topical across the industry due to a push from growers wanting to be more precise with their inputs. The event also featured a range of exhibitors and discussions on spray-related topics including reducing spray drift, camera technology, self-propelled sprayers, and using drones to map weeds.

Regional, State & National news RU OK? No qualifications needed

AUSTRALIANS across the nation joined the conversation on September 8 to mark R U OK?Day. The national day of action is a reminder that every day is a good day to ask your friends, family and colleagues, ‘are you OK?’ Thousands of events and activities were hosted Australia-wide by community groups, workplaces, schools, social and sports clubs and suicide prevention networks to remind Australians they already have what it takes to support the people in their world who might be struggling with life’s ups and downs. “Ask R U OK? No qualiﬁcations needed” was conceived in response to the organisation’s own research which found four in ten Australians thought asking, ‘are you OK?’, might start a conversation better had with an expert, said RU OK CEO, Katherine Newton.

This research also found that when authentic, genuine R U OK? conversations are happening, more than 80% of people say they are making a positive difference. R U OK? Community Ambassador, Seryn Adams, 26, is passionate about the message because of her own experience with depression and suicidal ideation. Ms Adams lives in regional New South Wales where she works as a Suicide Prevention Project Officer with the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network. “I’ve been really lucky to have people around me who have been able to recognise the signs when I have been struggling, and they’ve been willing to ask me the ‘are you OK?’ question,” said Seryn, who struggled with being isolated and separated from her family. “My Mum was able to recognise that I wasn’t myself, I

Call for action during national child protection week KIDS Helpline has reported an increase of 254 per cent in emergency interventions over the past ﬁve years. The most common reasons were due to child abuse, suicide attempts, sexual assault, and mental health escalation, said yourtown Head of Advocacy and Research, Kathryn Mandla. “Across this ﬁve-year period, emergency responses for sexual assault have spiked from 31 to 736 interventions. Emergency responses relating to suicide attempts almost tripled, increasing from 659 to 1,800 and those relating to child abuse almost quadrupled from 562 to 2055. “Emergency responses due to mental illness escalation increased by 261 per cent from 123 to 444 [since 2017]. “An emergency intervention happens when Kids Helpline counsellors contact police, child protection or ambulance services when a child or young person is deemed to be at imminent risk of harm. Emergency intervention assistance was required on average 16 times a day in 2021,” said Ms Mandla. “What we are trying to do with National Child Protection Week is to call on all governments to work with us and other counselling and support services to work collaboratively to support children and young people when they need it, as part of a ‘no wrong door’ policy. “In this way, every door in the mental health care system should provide access to the services needed,” Ms Mandla continued. National Child Protection Week runs from September 4-10.

The best way to look out for the people we care about is to trust our gut when we see signs of change or struggle, and make time for regular meaningful conversations,” said Katherine Newton.

Purple-pea translocation project in central west AROUND 700 small purple-pea (SPP: swainsona recta) seedlings have been translocated across the Central West and Central Tablelands region as part of a ﬁve-year project to save this endangered species. NSW Local Land Services (LLS) and the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) have teamed up to deliver a project to help the (SPP), a very attractive purple ﬂowering legume that develops a long tap root. Over two years, SPP seed has been collected under licence from various sites across the Central West and Central Tablelands and grown into seedlings by the ANBG in Canberra. The seedlings have now been taken home and planted into Wiradjuri country around Mudgee and Wellington. Leonie Coleman, Senior Land Ser-

vices Officer, LLS, said this is a pinnacle moment of the project that started in a drought with limited sign of the SPP. “With the breaking of the drought, new populations have emerged and been identiﬁed through LLS project monitoring and public awareness campaigns. Now it’s time to help bolster existing populations,” Ms Coleman said. Scientists have found that when SPP populations are too small, the germination viability of the seed decreases. By adding plants to existing populations, it is hoped this will increase the genetic diversity and germination viability of each population. The experience gained from this project may aid the conservation of The SPP project in action in the central other endangered native ﬂora. west. PHOTO: SIMONE KURTZ

stakeholders on the ground.” The Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap sets out the NSW Government’s 20-year plan to drive significant private investment in energy infrastructure, including the energy generation, storage, fi rming and transmission infrastructure needed to power NSW into the future as coal-fi red generation comes to the end of its scheduled life. The total value of renewable energy projects in NSW approved or seeking approval has increased by over $20 billion since the roadmap was announced, with the total number of proposed projects up by approximately 50 per cent. As at June 2022, there were over 185 large-scale renewable energy projects totalling around 34,700 megawatts progressing through the NSW planning system, representing around $49.5 billion in investment. The REZs are expected to support around 6,300 construction jobs and 2,800 ongoing jobs, mostly in regional NSW.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, September 15, 2022

Inland Rail rolls on but concerns remain, says CWA NSW LAST week, the Country Women’s Association of NSW (CWA NSW) expressed concern at the progress of the Inland Rail project in NSW with the release of the reply to submissions for the Narrabri to Narromine (N2N) section of the proposed alignment. “Communities in this region have been keenly waiting on this report since February last year as it is supposed to be a report where [the Australian Rail Track Corporation] ARTC outline how they have taken on feedback and concerns made through the [environmental impact statement] EIS exhibition process” said CWA NSW President Joy Beames.

“The community was told to engage in the process if they wanted to have their say and that is what they did, in a large and signiﬁcant way. CWA NSW was also instrumental in arranging a collective of landholders to fund legal and other expert reports to put forward a professionally written and well researched submission to the N2N EIS. “We are currently working through the detail of that report, but overall it appears there have been some hardfought wins that we have secured for our members, including some changes to public level crossing safety. “That said, for the amount of work and genuine evi-

dence-based research put forward, ARTC have once again mostly dismissed, ignored or inadequately addressed the issues. These include ﬂooding and hydrology concerns, impacts on agricultural lands and associated severance concerns and fencing standards to name a few areas. “The community only has 21 days to read and respond to well over 1000 pages of bureaucratic and repetitive jargon in the N2N reports. Similarly, we saw the community only being given a short time to respond in the Albury to Illabo EIS, until local political representatives stepped in to push for more time. It’s the same pattern over and over again

which points to a wider problem within the NSW planning system. “We have made requests to meet with NSW Minister for Planning, The Hon. Anthony Roberts, to speciﬁcally discuss these issues. At any future meeting it will be important for us to raise the matter of the NSW planning processes more broadly, as the current process does not serve the community at large. We would also urge the Minister to consider the merit of referring the project to the Independent Planning Commission for its views, and to allow the community to have their say fully.” The CWA NSW is also seeking clariﬁcation from the fed-

eral Minister for Infrastructure, the Hon. Catherine King, as the federal government had previously indicated that they would be conducting a review into Inland Rail. “We have repeatedly stated that we support this project, and we do, but the execution has been, and remains, an issue. This project is large, it is nation-building and potentially transformative for many communities,” Joy said. “But at the moment it’s coming at these communities in a way that it could end up as a disruptive and unproductive white elephant. It’s time for those in charge to take this on and deal with the issues once and for all.”

Local Health District appoints first chief medical officer WESTERN NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) announced the appointment of its ﬁ rst Chief Medical Officer (CMO) on September 12. Professor Mark Arnold is set to begin in the new role in January 2023. Mark Spittal, WNSWLHD Chief Executive, said Professor Arnold’s appointment is an exciting milestone in the ongoing development of the LHD’s clinical workforce and the care it provides. He will be an integral part of the District’s executive team alongside senior leaders with professional oversight for nursing and allied health. “The CMO role is speciﬁcally designed to put real emphasis on the standards of clinical practice, the ethics of care and the longterm development of the medical workforce in particular. In doing that the CMO will engage closely with clinical staff at all levels,” he said. Professor Arnold has more than 30 years’

experience as a rheumatologist and, as a senior Academic with the University of Sydney, he has been the Head of the Rural Clinical School and Professor of Rural Medicine. Professor Arnold said as the District’s new CMO he is committed to fostering a District-wide culture of collaboration, cooperation and respect. “Having practiced in community-based care and hospital-based health services, it’s apparent that we need coordination and cooperation between our clinicians across a broad range of nursing, allied health and medical disciplines across a vast area,” Professor Arnold said. “The needs of our clinicians and communities have been stated and clearly understood. “Recognising that this is a complex task, I’m delighted to be a part of a process which will aim to develop a workforce and culture across the District for the beneﬁt of all of our commu- Professor Mark Arnold is WNSWLHD’s new Chief Medical Officer.

People drop in to see Inland Rail By SHARON BONTHUYS AUSTRALIAN Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) Inland Rail (IR) held a dropin session in Narromine on September 8. The session at the United Services Memorial Club was held to enable community members to ask questions about the three new documents prepared by ARTC IR that will assist the Department of Planning and the Environment (DPE) with its assessment process. The Preferred Infrastructure Report and Amendment Report are currently displayed for public exhibition on the DPE online planning portal, and submissions can be made on these for another week. The Response to Submissions Report from the previous public exhibition process for the Narromine to Narrabri (N2N) pro-

ject’s Environmental Impact Statement in February 2021 is also available to view via the DPE website. Staff from ARTC IR and DPE attended the drop-in session to answer questions about the documents, the planning process, and other elements of the IR project. ARTC IR staff member Erica Tudor told the Narromine Star that community members had asked a range of questions during the session on topics including ﬂood modelling, noise mitigation, jobs and business opportunities. An interactive presentation on the ﬂood modelling was also available for viewing at the session. Ms Tudor said that submissions on the documents displayed for public exhibition will be considered by DPE, which is a normal part of the assessment process for large projects like IR (N2N).

Macquarie River doco to screen on SBS By SHARON BONTHUYS FOLLOWING its world premiere in Dubbo on June 9, and a six-show theatrical run in Bathurst, Orange and Sydney, the Macquarie Wambuul River documentary “Following the Flow” will make its national television debut later this month on SBS. The documentary will screen on World Rivers Day, said the ﬁ lm’s producer, Jed Coppa. “[The documentary] doesn’t pull any punches. Water management issues are complex and there is no undoing 200 years of destructive practices. “I wanted to show that despite this, there is still phenomenal beauty out West, not only in our waterways but also in the people that call them home,” Jed said. “Following the Flow sets out to tell the story of the

river, shaped by humans, but instead found the story of humans, shaped by the river,” he said. The Narromine Star interviewed Mr Coppa in June, just prior to the world premiere. “One of the things that struck me was there are so many different perspectives and opinions in the community about water management and the river, and how it should be managed and what should be done differently. “There’s a lot of commonality between people who might not realise that,” he said. A celebration of the world’s waterways, World Rivers Day encourages people from around the world to care for their rivers and improve the health of local waterways. Further details about the screening are available on the documentary website.

Classroom News Trangie Central School News Contributed by TRANGIE CENTRAL SCHOOL ON September 1, 39 children from Years 3-6 travelled to Warren to participate in the Gobondery/NARRAF touch football and netball day. The day was an enormous success with a number of children playing in sports that they’d never competed in before. The children were very well behaved and competed with great sportsmanship and effort. Students completing the Food Technology component of the Technology Mandatory course have been studying the topic of Nutrition during their theory lessons. Students are learning about the essential nutrients and what can contribute to a nutritious dish and diet. In their practical lessons, students have already made a variety of dishes, such as mufﬁ ns, nachos and pikelets! More dishes to come include pizza scrolls, scones and beef burgers! Stage 5 PASS and Stage 6 SLR are currently participating in a unit on Leisure and Recreation. The class recently visited Trangie Golf Club to try out a new activity. Some of the class have a lot of golf experience and some students played golf for the ﬁ rst time. With all students completing at least two holes in the hour-long visit, some developed a new appreciation for how difficult the sport can be. Thank you to Mrs Rush and the Trangie Golf Club for providing clubs and balls for the students and Miss Fawcett for doing the planning and paperwork.

Trangie netball is on fire! Two teams in grand final By SHARON BONTHUYS IF you’re heading to Dubbo this Saturday, look out for the colourful markers along the Mitchell Highway celebrating the incredible efforts of the Trangie Netball Club. Two teams from the club, the U12 Trangie Firecrackers and senior A-Reserve side Trangie Fire, will play in their respective grand fi nals in the Dubbo Netball Association competition. It has been a wonderful year for the Trangie Netball Club, emerging from the pandemic restrictions to have several of the club’s six teams make it to preliminary fi nals stage. Club spokesperson Rachael Bond, who simultaneously wears the hats of secretary, coach and player, said there is a high level of excitement in the club at how well the teams have performed this year. “It’s so exciting for the club. Out of our six teams, four can play fi nals. Three of those progressed into the semis and one directly into the grand final,” Rachael said. The Under 12 Trangie Firecrackers team and senior D Grade Trangie Burn team played preliminary fi nals on September 10. The Trangie

Firecrackers won their match and will face Nyngan in the grand fi nal. Trangie Burn played valiantly but lost their match, unfortunately, ending their season. The Trangie A-Reserve Team, Trangie Fire, won the major semi-fi nals and after a week’s break, will face the Inspire Vixens in this weekend’s grand fi nal. Rachael said she expected a fair bit of community support for the players this weekend. “We have so many things in storage, streamers, posters etc,” Rachael laughed. These items are likely to be hauled out of storage to decorate posts and trees along the 70-kilometre route to Dubbo. “It’s been another great season for Trangie netball. Thanks to the parents committing to the 9.00am strat for our Under 8s and Under 10s, and well done to Trangie Lightning which just missed out on making the semis,” she said. Rachael said that 2023 was already looking good for those teams who just missed out. Well done, Trangie Netball Club! What an amazing year. May the Trangie Fire and the The Under 12 Trangie Firecrackers are heading to the netball grand final this weekend, L-R: Dixie Trangie Firecrackers blaze Morten, Tawhiao Selway, Emmei Boyd, Ruby Fraser, Kairi Tattersall, Indie Bond, Ethan Foster, Reggie their way to glory!

Sport CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE PRELIMINARY FINALS

2 outta 3 ain’t bad: Jets big winners but Roosters fly Contributed by BRYSON LUFF FOR the Narromine Jets, Saturday, 10th September 10, 2022, was a momentous day! Playing on their home turf, the Jets had all three teams jousting for a berth in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League grand fi nals. Things were most certainly on the up at the completion of the League Tag fi xture when it was a case of two up and one to go, with their reserve grade and league tag sides winning against Gilgandra and Dunedoo respectively and booking their spots in the season fi nale at Gilgandra next Saturday. Those wins came prior to a presentation of the NSWRL 2022 Community Club of the Year award to the Narromine Club! The presentation of that major award was immediately followed by another deserved recognition of the club’s high level of involvement it has with its local community and the support that it gives to that community when it was awarded the extremely prestigious National Rugby League’s 2022 Community Club award! With the cutting and consumption of the celebration cake put on hold until after the on-field action had fi nished for the day, it perhaps tasted somewhat bittersweet because the Jets’ fi rst grade side failed to make it a red and white trifecta on grand fi nal day when they went down to the Cobar Roosters. The day opened with the home club registering a big win against an ill-disciplined Gilgandra Panthers outfit in the reserve grade fi xture be-

Narromine defeated Dunedoo. fore their league tag side won an entertaining and hard fought affair against the Dunedoo Swannettes. The Jets had got themselves out to a 10-4 lead by half time, but the Swannettes responded soon after the break with a converted try to lock it up 10all early in the second half. That score did not change until a penalty goal to the Jets with seven minutes to go broke the deadlock to make it 12-10, but the game was still in the

balance. The result was only decided with a minute remaining when the home side was able to score a try to make it 16-10 to earn a shot at premiership glory next Saturday when they will take on the Baradine Magpies. The ﬁ rst-grade game between the Jets and the Cobar Roosters saw the scores locked up at 12 all at half time with the two teams scoring two tries each, all of them by forwards from close range which was in-

dicative of how the game was played in the opening stanza. The second half saw a bit more ball movement and in that area it was the Roosters that proved to be superior, particularly in the latter stages of the game with their hard running fullback Ash Davies grabbing a double in the Roosters 32-18 victory. Cobar now enters their fi rst Castlereagh League fi rst grade grand fi nal, and whilst they will be short on grand fi nal experience the same cannot be said about their opponents next Saturday, the Gilgandra Panthers. In a remarkable record, Gilgandra have earned the right to host their sixth consecutive grand fi nal. Although not all of their players have played in one or more of those five preceding grand fi nals, a lot of them have and this could well have an influence on the final result. In their meetings so far this year the Roosters scored a big 34-14 win at Cobar in the opening round whilst the Panthers just got home 28-26 in Gilgandra in round 11. Perhaps a gauge of their more recent form might be that in the past weeks both teams have had to defeat the Narromine Jets at Narromine to gain entry into the grand fi nal, the Panthers winning the major semi 32 to 28 and the Roosters taking the preliminary final 32 to 18. Spectators are urged to allow extra time to gain entry to McGrane Oval for the grand finals as vehicles and bags will be inspected for glass and alcohol being bought into the ground.

Bowls action from Narromine Contributed by RICK BOHM TWO weeks of action to report on this week as last week’s column was lost in cyberspace... Firstly to pennants. After the lads in the red trousers put themselves into a possible winning position after their pennant match against West Dubbo at home on September 3, they ventured to Bourke and achieved a solid 09/01 win. They now sit on 38 Points, and a margin of +79 with a deferred, washed out game against West Dubbo, who are on 28 points and a margin of +08. In theory, the boys would have lose this deferred match 00/10 and by some 36 shots to not advance to the zone playoffs. Possible? Highly unlikely? Therefore, this match will be played as per West Dubbo’s right to be given a chance for them to win the section ﬂag. The schedule for the Division 3 Pennant Zone Playoffs, due to kick off next weekend, isn’t yet known.

Baradine Bowling Club will play the winner of the deferred match, whenever that is played. Social Bowls on September 1 saw a good ﬁeld of 25 go round and hopefully these sort of numbers will be the norm rather than rare during the warmer months. The day’s winners were Noel Delboux, Peter Dalton (Trangie) and the evergreen David McNair and runners up, Kerry Martin, Des Lincoln and Mick Edwards. No social bowls that week due to some ordinary conditions, thanks to Mother Nature. Sunday’s chook run on September 4 saw a somewhat smaller ﬁeld which enjoyed the hit out, especially Bob Davis and Clifton Harris who got all the loot on offer. Last Sunday was of a similar vein, with eight hardy souls having a hit out and the best of the bunch being Mark Smith and Bill Wilkie. On September 10, the “B” Grade Singles started. Legs Hartis de-

feated Billy West, Paul Hilder lost to Racardo Stanford, whilst Kane Adams skipped past Richard Hyde in their encounter. In the semi-fi nals this weekend, Legs Hartis takes on Racardo Stanford, while young Bruce Powyer challenges Kane Adams. Coming up: We have “GUB” Thorne Day later this month, which is always a special occasion at the club, and the Zone Presidents Pairs and Zone Senior Triples will now be played at Narromine Bowling Club over two weekends in October. Did you know that 80 per cent of our members are eligible to enter both zone events? Under the new format for the zone championships, players are guaranteed three matches, as sectional play and lesser ends means that your team plays three games on the fi rst day, and all section winning teams advance to the fi nals the following day. All for now, see you at the Bowly!

Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Preliminary Final Scores Played at Cale Oval, Narromine Saturday 10 September. League Tag: Narromine 16 (Lily Spackman, Jacana Powell, Kelsea Phillips tries, Spackman 2 goals) defeated Dunedoo 10 (Hallie Hogden, Mia Gallagher tries, Hogden goal).

Grand Finals at Gilgandra on Saturday, September 17, 2022: First game (reserve grade) at 11.30am. Reserve Grade: Binnaway Bombshells V Narromine Jets. League Tag: Baradine Magpies V Narromine Jets. First Grade: Gilgandra Panthers V Cobar Roosters. STRICTLY NO GLASS OR ALCOHOL TO BE TAKEN INTO GROUND. Police and security will be in attendance and vehicles/bags etc searched Admission: Adults $10.00. Pensioners; $5.00. Under 16 free.

Ladies golf action at Narromine LAST Wednesday, we played the ﬁ nal round of the monthly medal. The 18-hole winner was Vicki Gainsford with 78 nett, and the ball winner was Dale Harding with 80 nett. The B grade winner of the nine-hole event was Kim Handsaker with 37 nett, the C grade winner was Carole Paddison with 37 nett, and the ball winner was Marj Kelly with 39 nett. On Saturday, we played a stroke round for a trophy donated by Wendy Jeffery. Michelle Ashdown won

with 40 nett on a count back from Dale Harding and Wendy Jeffery, and nearest to the pin was Dale. On Sunday, we played the play off for the 18hole McLachlan Shield for monthly medal winners during the season, and the nine-hole Jean Richardson trophy for monthly medal qualiﬁers. There will be none of our “usual” ladies golf this weekend because the NSW Veterans 4-Ball Sand Green Championships will be on. See you next week.

Tomingley’s top teen lawn bowler heads to the nationals

Cooper Dart prepares for his match against Narromine on September 3. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. By SHARON BONTHUYS THANKS to the support of Tomingley Gold Operations (TGO), emerging teen lawn bowls talent Cooper Dart is in Melbourne this week representing NSW at the very ﬁ rst national competition for high school lawn bowlers. The Peak Hill Central

School student, 14, who lives in Tomingley, is attending the School Sport Australia 18 Years and Under Championship at the Sunbury Bowls Club. The NSW Combined High Schools (CHS) contingent is playing against its Victorian counterparts in the inaugural tournament. Just four years after picking

up a set of bowls during a visit to his grandfather at Black Head and taking up the sport through West Dubbo Bowls Club, Cooper has swiftly risen through the ranks and regularly plays against bowlers much older than himself. The Narromine Star caught up with Cooper when he visited Narromine with the West Dubbo men’s team to play in a Pennants match on September 3. ‘When I was 10 my Pop invited us over to play a game of barefoot bowls and after that I just enjoyed playing it,” Cooper said of his entry into the sport. “I play with juniors and adults. Whenever there’s a junior tournament I play in that, and I also play club events with the adults.” Cooper said what he enjoys most about bowls is the people he meets through the sport. “Everyone’s really nice and it’s a fun sport.” Cooper recently ﬁ nished ﬁ rst in his school’s bowls tournament and has represented the Western Region in competitions in Penrith and Orange. This year is the second time that Cooper has been selected to represent NSW CHS follow-

ing top fi nishes for the Western Region in the NSW CHS Championships. He placed fourth this year and fi rst last year, but COVID restrictions robbed him of the opportunity to attend the nationals last year. In the Under 18s competition that Cooper is attending this week in Melbourne, he will be playing against other young lawn bowlers aged between 13 and 18 years old. He is looking forward to the challenge. Getting to Melbourne and staying for a week-long competition is an expensive exercise, costing Cooper’s family over $3,000. There is no government support for higher level representation for school students, creating a significant burden for families to get their children to intrastate and interstate competitions. After reaching out to local businesses, Cooper and his parents, Gavin and Kelly Dart, and brother Bailey, 12, have made it to Melbourne for the nationals and are very grateful for the support provided by TGO, Club Dubbo, and Aboriginal Medical Services in Peak Hill. TGO’s General Manager Operations, Jason Hughes, told

the Narromine Star that the company was pleased to be able to support and encourage a local resident of Tomingley to make the long trip south to represent NSW CHS. “To hear that a young person from a small town like Tomingley was picked to go to Victoria for bowls, we were more than happy to support Cooper,” Jason said. The company provided a donation to assist with the considerable travel and accommodation and other costs involved with the trip. This support is in line with TGO’s signiﬁcant commitment to the Tomingley community, Jason said. “We’ll try to support any students from the Tomingley/ Narromine Shire area that excel in a sport,” Jason said. Cooper aims to continue climbing the representative ranks and hopes to one day represent Australia. “It would be pretty cool to reach the Commonwealth Games eventually,” he said. Well done, Cooper and we wish you all the best this week in Melbourne. Tomingley Gold Operations is a proud Foundation Sponsor of the Narromine Star.

Junior Gorillas attend country championships

Contributed by PATRICK MCCUTCHEON, NARROMINE GORILLAS RUGBY UNION OVER the weekend, seven Narromine Junior Gorillas represented Western Plains at the Country Championships in Coffs Harbour. These players were selected after trialling in Warren last month. Training days were held in Warren, Walgett and Nyngan to prepare for the championships and covered skill development, position understanding, team building, goal setting and player ambitions into the future. Players Dusty Ward, Flynn Redden, Matthew Smyth, Paddy Cusack, Spencer Craft, Luis Robertson

and Kye Brotherton all competed over the two day carnival. Day one proved to be the most difﬁcult, coming up against some stiff opposition. Although this set the platform and the more game time the boys played together the better they performed, winning both their games on day two. All the players had a memorable experience with the parents having a particularly good time supporting them. Narromine Junior Gorillas would like to thank especially Western Plains for the pathway opportunity into representative rugby and all the parents and supporters who travelled to training days and the Narromine Junior Gorillas players at the country championships. Left to right: Spencer championships. Craft, Matt Smyth, Dusty Ward, William Heckendorf (honourable member), Flynn Redden, Kye Brotherton and Luis Robertson.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES WELL informed punters had substantial collects from wagers when the Cowra trained galloper Young Heart landed a betting plunge on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at the Gilgandra meeting transferred from Wellington. Dubbo jockey Ken Dunbar with a well-judged ride in the benchmark 66 handicap on the Michael Lynch trained Young Heart gradually made ground from near the back of the ﬁeld to be ready to challenge when heads turned for home. Backed from $18 to $5, Young Heart swept down the outside to win by two lengths from another Cowra galloper Deshawn (Jake Barrett, $2.40 favourite) with a half neck to Makuba (Zara Lewis, $5). From the Barry Wall stable, the highly consistent Deshawn ran another top race following a last start win at Bathurst. Another heavily supported winner was the Andrew Macdonald, Newcastle-trained Midas Star in the 800 metres maiden plate. Midas Star (Clayton Gallagher, $7.50 In to $2.90 favourite) set the pace and lasted to win from Nacho Nacho Man (Qin Yong, $5) and Yorker (Tony Cavallo, $11). Punters again lined up to collect when Silica Sand (Clayton Gallagher, $6.50 in to $3.70 favourite) trained at Newcastle by Dale Wagstaff, came from fourth on the home turn to score in a three-way photo ﬁ nish from the Bryan Dixon, Gilgandra-trained Vivalicious (Zara Lewis, $31) and Chilean Express (Damon Budler, $4.50) in the 1100 metres maiden handicap. Before the breakthrough win, Silica Sand had recorded 10 placings from 28 starts. Making it three wins for Clayton Gallagher and Newcastle trainers, the Todd Howlett trained Lady Audrey ($2.20 fav.) hit the front in the straight and clung on for a close win over Golden Eclipse (Tony Cavallo, $5.50) and Hemsted (Julia Presits, $4.40) in

Western Racing Report the 1600 metres benchmark 58 handicap. Dubbo-based apprentice Jake Barrett however managed to get home ahead of Clayton Gallagher by a narrow margin in the 1280 metres Country Boosted Maiden Plate. The Paul Theobald, Bathurst trained Power Bank (Jake Barrett, $2.30 fav.) reached the lead and was able to hold off Sistine Queen (Clayton Gallagher, $3.50) by a nose with a long neck to Crystal Beanz (Teaghan Martin, $3.90). Rylstone trainer Bob Howe is a master at keeping veteran gallopers racing in good form and after the 10-year-old Northern Conqueror won at the previous Gilgandra meeting the eight-year-old Petain (Tony Cavallo, $8.50) on Tuesday won the 1400 metres country boosted benchmark 58 handicap. Mature age apprentice Damon Budler who outrode his country allowance (80 wins), at Queanbeyan earlier in the week, led all the way on the Allan McCrae, Yass-trained Bold Offa ($3.60) to win the 800 metres Class Three Handicap at Gilgandra. Gilgandra has now this year hosted ﬁve meetings transferred from other venues due to waterlogged tracks. Usually, these transfers have been at short notice and a huge credit to the Gilgandra Jockey Club committee for getting organised so quickly for the overall good of country racing.

Dubbo City Toyota and Gilgandra Toyota Dubbo Gold Cup The lure of $100,000 for the Dubbo City Toyota and Gilgandra Toyota Dubbo Gold Cup coupled with eligibility for the $2 million Big Dance at Randwick proved irresistible for high proﬁ le metropolitan, provincial and interstate stables however they were upstaged on Sunday, September 11, by the country trained Casino Kid. Despite the high-quality opposition, the Jan Bowen, Muswellbrook-trained Casino Kid started the $3.60 favourite

Lady Audrey and Clayton Gallagher (trained by Todd Howlett) were first at the finish in race five at Gilgandra last week. PHOTO: WWW.RACINGPHOTOGRAPHY.COM.AU. after a recent win and second at Randwick. Notabadidea and Cognac set the pace in the 1600 metres cup but were under siege from the chasing pack when entering the home straight. Brilliantly ridden by Grant Buckley, Casino Kid from third last gained openings near the inside and with a determined ﬁ nish won by over a length from the Victorian trained Prince Of Helena (Jake Duffy, $6) with a long head to Newcastle galloper Two Big Fari (Mikayla Weir, $8.50). Much admired by central west racegoers, the gallant 10-year-old A Magic Zariz (Clayton Gallagher, $15) trained at Dubbo by Brett Robb ran yet another great race when fourth in the cup. Tackling an outstanding ﬁeld, the Brett Robb trained Dalavin made it four wins in succession when taking out the inaugural Evergreen Turf Vincent Gordon Memorial Flying Handicap. Owned by Greg O’Mally and his mother Maida O’Mally

from Narromine and formerly from Bourke, Dalavin was ridden by Clayton Gallagher. Taking the lead from Classy Rebel approaching the home turn, Dalavin ($3.60) held on to score by a half-length from Big Day Out (Jake Duffy, $19) and Commando Hunt (Brooke Stower, $3.20 fav.). Followers of Dubbo trainer Clint Lundholm were cheering when he landed a winning double, Nest In The Hills and Career Change. With Rory Hutchings in the saddle, Nest In The Hills ($15) wore down the leader Wandjina Spirit (Winona Costin, $5) to win by a short head with Hallowed Star (Grant Buckley, $8 to $3.10 equal favourite) four lengths away third in the 1400 metres XXXX Gold Showcase Maiden Handicap. Bringing up the double for Clint Lundholm, Career Change (Brooke Stower, $7) in the 1100 metres Toyota Genuine Parts Country Magic Class Two Showcase Plate led most of the way to beat stablemate Niccourette (Keegan Latham,

$21) and Simpkin (Rory Hutchings, $2.40 to $1.55 favourite).

Backing up from a win at Gilgandra on Tuesday, the Bob Howe, Rylstone trained eightyear-old Petain (Tony Cavallo, $4.20 equal fav.) travelled midﬁeld then ﬁnished best to win the 1300 metres Tommy Toyota Benchmark 58 Handicap from Royal Charge (Rory Hutchings, $4.20 equal fav.) and Gateaux (Fiona Sandkuhl, $7.50).

Dubbo trainer Connie Greig continued her successful year when Deel Street (Anna Roper, $8) powered home on the inside from the back of the ﬁeld to win the 1600 metres Compass Electrical and Data Supplies Class Three Showcase Handicap from Coopella (Clayton Gallagher, $9.50) and the leader Osman (Brooke Stower, $10).

The Dubbo track after heavy rain through the week recovered remarkably to enable cup day to go ahead with a big crowd.

ON the last weekend of August, the last round of the NSW East Coast Motocross (MX) series was held at Dargle on the Hawkesbury River. Will Cale took out top honours in the 9-12 years 65cc class for the weekend, and fourth overall in the series points. Will also ﬁ nished fourth on his 85cc machine for the weekend and also fourth overall for the series in the 9-12 years 85cc class. Ollie Cale had a good weekend as well, ﬁ nishing on the podium in the 7-10 years’ 65cc

class with a fi fth overall for the weekend and seventh for the series. Ollie also came away with 13th for the weekend on his 50cc machine after some bike troubles, which put him in eighth overall for the series in the 7-9 years’ 50cc class. Stella Harding missed out on the weekend, having sustained a broken arm two weeks earlier, in a fi rst corner pile up at Rockhampton which has left her off the bike. Despite not riding, Stella still fi nished seventh overall in the series in the 7-9 years’ 50cc class, 11th overall in the series in the 7-10 years 65 cc class, and second over-

all in the junior girls’ championship for the series, having missed the last round through injury. The kids all now have their eyes set on the Australian MX titles to be held in Rockhampton later this month. Ollie and Will have had their heads down getting some seat time whenever they can, to try and prepare for the titles. Stella is racing the clock now to see if she will be able to get back on a bike, which may be only two to three days before the titles, to see if she is strong and ﬁt enough. She also needs to be cleared by the doctors to race the Australian titles.

Stella Harding didn’t race this round but still ended up second overall in the junior girls’ championship. Amazing effort, Stella!

NSW veterans golf championship tees off No Gerries this week news Contributed by NORM LEWIS

Contributed by NORM LEWIS UNFORTUNATELY, the rain came mid-afternoon last Wednesday and the players called it off half way round. With the clubhouse not open, all went home to dry out! No results at all to report!

THE NSW Veterans Mens Sand Greens Fourball Championships will once again be held in Narromine this weekend. Local winners of the last comp held in 2019, Rob Williams and Tony Mann, will defend their titles along with other locals who have won the event previously, Peter Hutchinson (2015) and Bruce Mitchell (2016). Narromine has been privileged to conduct this annual event on behalf of the NSW Veterans Golf Association (VGA) since 2015. Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19 epidemic, this event was not held in 2020 and 2021. The 36-hole event is played across the weekend and has attracted a ﬁeld of golf-

ers representing clubs from as far aﬁeld as Grafton, Toukley Port Kembla and Walcha along with local from Trangie, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Cobar and Nyngan. The Narromine Ladies Golf Club are in charge of feeding the hungry hordes and we know they’ll do a marvelous job. The Narromine course is in great condition following recent rain and has been prepared by local members headed by Peter Gainsford, who do a wonderful job. There is a Ladies comp on for ladies who travel with their husbands or partners and we hope they enjoy their golf at Narromine. It should be a great weekend for the golfers and the Narromine district which will welcome all the visitors. It is hoped the predicted rain stays away and the tournament

is a success. Last week’s results: Saturday, Monthly Medal: Mick Smith (Net 70), winner from Tom Hogan (Nett 71), NTP 17th Steve Gillette, Long Drive 16th Tony Harding. Vets nine-hole:-Peter Hutchinson 16 points. Sunday: 18-Hole Stableford GA:- Winner Tom Hogan 41points, Runner up Greg Barling 40 points. NTP ninth Greg Barling, 10th Chris Peter, Long Drive Tom Hogan. The Junior clinic is cancelled this weekend due to the championships but will be on again next week. Best of luck to the players in the Vets Championships! Hope you all enjoy your stay in Narromine.
