All aboard the Dolly Trolley: the Dolly Festival is here! By SHARON BONTHUYS ONE more sleep, peeps, and the Dolly Festival is here. Narromine will transform into Dollymine for the weekend so be prepared for the town to be painted in pink, lots of sparkles, big wigs, high heels and a whole lotta “y’all” echoing down the street. There will be Dollys and Kennys everywhere but if you happen to see a stray Elvis, just tell him he needs to travel a bit further south for his festival. Nicely, of course. It all kickstarts on Friday night with the G-rated animated rom-com “Gnomeo and Juliet” for the kidlets down at Payten Park. Bring a blanket, bring food if you like although you can buy on site too, but most importantly, bring yourself. Don’t be afraid to sing along to the catchy tunes and look out for Dolly Gnome, voiced by none other than our own Queen of Country, Dolly Parton, in a rip-snortin’ cameo in the groovy movie. If that doesn’t ﬂoat your boat and you’re looking for something a bit more entertaining, head on up to the Courthouse Hotel for some whip-crackin’ karaoke. Continued page 7

Central west flooding crisis By SHARON BONTHUYS MUCH of the Narromine Shire is settled beneath a blanket of water and has been for months. How thick that blanket is changes every week, but ultimately it depends on the rain that just keeps on coming. Unlike our cousins on the coast in communities like Lismore which completely disappeared beneath horrendous ﬂooding earlier this year, out here in the central west the situation with water hasn’t been quite that apparent to many of those not personally impacted. If you’re a town dweller and you aren’t really paying attention as you drive by on the bitumen road that might have a pothole or two, you may miss the shimmer of water across the ﬁelds. It doesn’t have to be deep water to do damage to prime agricultural land. How long it stays and the damage it causes to crops and vegetation are the big issues. Landholders have not been able to get much of a break for almost a year. The frustrating regularity of the rainfall, and the amount of rain, has kept the ground wet for much of this year, impacting some property owners’ ability to harvest, to sow and to manage livestock. These are the people who put food on the table and clothes on the backs of Australians, and they’re hurting in so many ways. Because rural school buses often aren’t equipped to drive on dirt roads rendered impassable by continuing rain,

many rural families have had to make long treks to the bitumen every day so their children can get an education. And some days when the bitumen roads are waterlogged after heavy rain, the buses can’t make it through at all. This disrupts children’s education. Farming families are also bearing the brunt of damage to vehicles from constantly driving through water over roads that are rapidly deteriorating due to the elements. Last week a ﬁve-year-old boy drowned when his family’s Hilux was swept away in ﬂoodwater at the Genaren Creek crossing on The McGrane Way, south-west of Narromine.

With landholders in the surrounding area reporting massive rainfall from the prolonged heavy rain event on Wednesday, September 21, a fresh round of road closures was announced in several LGAs last week just prior to that tragic event. Unable to handle the volume of water, inland waterways naturally spread out and consume the land in all directions. Richard Darcy lives on 5,500 acres 70 kilometres southwest of Narromine, not far from Tullamore. His family’s two mixed farming properties receive ﬂoodwater from Bullock Creek and tributaries connected to it including Lightning Creek, Leg of Mut-

ton Creek and others. The ongoing rain events have impacted his family’s cropping operations substantially. They grow wheat, barley, oats, and canola and run Dorper sheep. It has been a difficult time for Richard and his family, whose farming operations have been signiﬁcantly hampered. “It’s pretty hard on everyone, and on the family, totally,” Richard said. “You can’t do things, you can’t go anywhere. You’ve got to tighten your belt because you don’t have the income coming in. All of that has an effect, of course.” Continued page 11

Central west flooding crisis: Child dies as vehicle swept away at Tullamore ON Saturday, September 24, the body of a young boy was located in a vehicle that had been swept away in flood waters near Tullamore the previous evening. Just before 11pm on Friday, September 23, emergency services were called to The McGrane Way at Tullamore, south-west of Narromine following reports two vehicles had been swept into flood waters. Inquiries revealed the fi rst vehicle – a Toyota Hilux with five occupants – became submerged at the

Genaren Creek crossing about 8pm that evening. Four occupants of the Hilux – a 37-year-old man, a 28-year-old woman, along with a young boy and girl – got out and were able to cling to trees. However, a five-year-old boy became trapped in the car before it submerged. About three hours later, a second vehicle entered the flooded crossing and submerged. The occupants managed to free themselves from the car before fi nding the occupants of the Hilux still clinging to trees.

They alerted emergency services and a multi-agency response was initiated with officers from Central West Police District, NSW SES, NSW Rural Fire Service and NSW Ambulance paramedics. A boat was used to rescue the family, who were taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for observation. The occupants of the second vehicle were not injured. Police remained at the scene overnight and a search operation commenced on Saturday, September 24, to locate and

retrieve the Hilux. About 3.20pm, the boy’s body was located in the submerged car by police divers. The car was retrieved and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is underway. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner. Roads in the area remain closed due to ﬂooding, and Police urge motorists to check www. livetraffic.com prior to travelling.

Mungery picnic races abandoned

The devastating view from above at the Mungery racecourse. PHOTOS: MUNGERY PICNIC RACE COMMITTEE.

By SHARON BONTHUYS RECURRING bad weather over the past few months and as recently as last week has forced the highly anticipated Mungery Picnic Races this weekend to be abandoned. The heart breaking pictures shared on social media by the race committee on September 22 show a ﬂooded track and saturated surrounding landscape.

Rain, rain, go away.

It’s a devastating blow for the hard working race committee but also the local community. “We haven’t been able to race for the last two years due to COVID, so we were really looking forward to racing this year and having a big day,” said race committee spokesperson Sarah Masonwells. “We also hold the day for the community out there as well, and we have them in our thoughts.

“The majority of our committee members are farmers and we’re thinking about them too,” Sarah said. Earlier this year the Narromine Star spoke to Jason Hartin about preparations for the races, and he said that much work needed to be done in the lead up to the event to get the track race-ready. This has been made very difficult in the ensuing months as the rain has continued to fall reg-

Another country race abandoned due to ongoing weather impacts. ularly on land that just hasn’t had a chance to dry out. “It does take a lot of preparation. We start months out. The committee gets together and has working bees,” Sarah said. “As we haven’t raced out there for two years it was going to take a bit more than usual to get everything up to scratch, and it just wasn’t to be this year. The committee has maintained close contact with Rac-

ing NSW about the situation during this time, she said. Sarah said that the race committee will not seek to reschedule the event to another date. “You get into harvest, then into picking and sowing, and it’s actually difficult to ﬁ nd another date for us so we haven’t sought one from Racing NSW. “We’ll just abandon our race meeting and ﬁ ngers crossed for a massive 2023,” she said.

What a way to end the day.

By SHARON BONTHUYS A spectacular Colour Run at Noel Powell Park was the fi nal event on the Narromine NAIDOC calendar last Friday. The children were only meant to round the playing field twice as part of the run, but had so much fun – and energy! – they simply kept on going round. The NAIDOC committee lost count of the number of times the field was circled. Participants, parents, carers and volunteers enjoyed a delicious sausage sizzle cooked by the Narromine Rotary Club, and several gift card prizes sponsored by local businesses were given away through a lucky draw. Maddi Thomas was the lucky winner of the main prize draw, an iPad. It was a wonderful and colourful way to end Narromine’s NAIDOC Week events, the school term, and welcome in the holidays.

“[Their images] say a thousand words.” Part of the exhibition also featured colourful artwork including paintings, drawings, sand art, and craft like “yarn turtles”, birds and a mobile made by students from Narromine Public School, Narromine Christian School, St Augustine’s, and the Narromine Pre-School. A colourful display by students in the National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA) also featured. “These are examples of how young people see NAIDOC,” said Shelly. “The NAIDOC week celebrations calendar was put together by a very committed NAIDOC committee. “I would like to say a huge thank you to those who took the time to attend each week, and those community organisations and schools that donated their time and money to bring our community together to celebrate NAIDOC 2022,” said Shelly.

The Narromine Pre-School students delivered their daily Acknowledgement of Country and performed to three songs in language developed by Sharon “Mirii” Bell, a proud Wiradjuri Gamilaraay woman who is the founder of Indigenous Insights, which focuses on early childhood, Cultural Education and wellbeing.

Aunty Ruth Carney enjoyed the event and was particularly delighted with the performances by the young people. NAIDOC Committee member Liz Harris was pleased with the turnout to the lunch, which had been impacted by the bad weather. “It’s good to see the Elders come out in the rain. “This lunch helps bring Connection to them,” she said.

All aboard the Dolly Trolley: the Dolly Festival is here!

Are you coming to Dollymine this weekend? PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. Pop in to the Narromine Library to see their range of Dolly items and learn about the singing icon’s Imagination Library. PHOTO: MACQUARIE REGIONAL LIBRARY.

How are you getting home on Saturday night? Dolly’s booked the taxi.

Are you ready to get your Dolly on?

From page 1 On Saturday morning, the St Andrews Uniting Church will have a garage sale going so stop by if you’re looking for any last minute bric-a-brac to off-set your Dolly outﬁts or overall party vibe. Or if you just need something for home – the church won’t mind. After your garage sale experience you can head on up to Dandaloo Street which will be closed off for the Free Street Party that runs from 10am to 1pm. Hopefully the forecast will be wrong for once and the rain will stay away, but if you think ahead, you can shop in comfort and style if you’re Dolly with a Brolly. Remember to bring cash, ‘cause you’ll need it to buy food, drink and anything that takes your fancy from the local businesses and market stalls operating on the day. And don’t forget to tip the buskers as you shop, eat, drink and be merry. They’ll be earning it, keeping you entertained. The Dolly Festival host, renowned drag star Timberlina, will be on hand to drive that street party atmosphere into the stratosphere so make sure you’re where the action is on Saturday afternoon.

Don’t forget to keep walking down Dandaloo Street to see what’s on offer along the way and at the other end. Look out for the pink and white Groovy Booby Bus which will be parked across a street so you simply can’t walk past it and the important messages owner Donna Falconer shares about breast cancer awareness. For those celebrity stargazers, if you see the mayor out and about on your travels, why not grab a selﬁe with him on the street? It’s not every day that you get to be Dolly with a Poli. The Generocity Church will be open for tired legs to rest and have morning tea and the local retailers down that way will also be happy to clothe and feed you. Even the Narromine Library is getting onboard the Dolly Trolley so stop by and make sure you’ve registered your newborn kidlets and grandkidlets to receive free books from birth to ﬁve years through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. They’re also screening a doco on that special project and will have craft activities for the kidlets. It’s all over Red Rover by 1pm and that gives you the

afternoon to rest, recharge, hunt out those feather boas from your dress up box and don your best Dolly and Kenny costumes ready for the evening’s main event down at the Narromine Golf Club. Come on, you know you want to... But wait! If you’re going to the festival and you want to taste test the fantabulous drinks on offer at the Golfie, make sure you’ve got your travel home sorted before you go because it’s highly likely that NSW’s ﬁ nest guys and gals in blue will be looking out for you and you deﬁ nitely don’t want to hitch a ride home on their booze bus. It won’t be cheap... Organise your designated driver, DD, Deso, Lift Legend, Sober Bob, or whatever you call those guardian angels who abstain from alcohol so you can get home safely. Give them a tip because they will have earned it looking out for you! If you need to book the USMC Taxi, get in quick so David Taylor and his team of tireless taxi drivers know exactly what their Saturday night is going to look like. And don’t forget to give them a big tip too

for getting you home safely after partying hard with Dolly and Kenny! Talking about booze, if you didn’t already know it, the Dolly Festival is for adults only. Yes, peeps, you’ve gotta be 18plus to make it under, through or over the gate. If you haven’t booked your babysitter by now, it’s probably too late, but no babies, toddlers or kidlets of other size or age are permitted at the festival. They’re not 18, obviously, and won’t ﬁt in your handbag... Speaking of handbags, if you think about smuggling in your own tipples so you can be Dolly with a Stolli, forget it. It’s NO BYO. Zip, zilcho, nada! Bags will be checked so don’t end your night before it’s even begun. Gates open at 4.30pm and if you’re not already heading for the food and drink tents, market stalls and more on the fairway right then, Timberlina’s world class drag show will open the entertainment which includes headlining act Kirsty Lee Akers, the Dolly and Kenny Tribute Show, Amy Ryan and local talent Tanya Andrew. How root-tootin’ fantastic is that? Your dress up efforts may be

rewarded if you snag a prize in the Best Dressed Dolly and Kenny comp, judged by special guests Rowdie Walden and Abbie Chatﬁeld. Gosh, it’s just too much excitement! The night ends at 10 pm but we’re pretty sure Dollyholics will be partying on all over town until the early hours. Don’t sleep in though, peeps, because the action ramps up again on Sunday morning with a brekky and sing-a-long at the Narromine Aerodrome Tourist Park and Motel. Enjoy a barbecue brekky, morning-after karaoke, and open mike session from 8 am. Bring your instrument and have a bellow, and see if you’re smarter than a ﬁ fth grader in the Dolly trivia comp. Don’t forget your esky and your chair or you’ll be mighty thirsty and washing the grass stains from your clothes for months to come. It’s all happening here in Dollymine this weekend. Are you coming? Are you ready? Are you pumped? The organising committee is promising a “rootin’, scootin’, tootin’ weekend of Dolly”, and as Monday is a public Dollyday you’ll have a day of rest to get back to your best. See you at the fest!

Aerobatic action at state championships

Ray Pearson prepares to fly in the NSW Aerobatics Championships. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

By SHARON BONTHUYS BAD weather and the suddenly announced national public holiday last week had some impact on the highly anticipated NSW Aerobatic Championships staged at Narromine Aerodrome. Originally due to be held from May 12-15, that event was rescheduled to September 22-25 due to unseasonal bad weather. This time round, organisers and competitors had to contend with the torrential rain on September 21 and the National Day of Mourning for Queen Elizabeth II on September 22 which delayed the start of competition to Friday, September 23. Organisers made changes to be able to complete the complex program over the Friday and Saturday. Twenty-three pilots competed across six categories in the NSW state championships, said Ray Pearson, secretary of the NSW chapter of the Australian Aerobatics Club.

“Wednesday was a no-fly day for us because of the rain and low cloud. On Thursday the weather was okay and we could practise off-airfield,” Ray said. “We weren’t able to fly over the airfield though because of the memorial day. Out of respect, we were [asked] not to do aerobatics over the airfield on that day, so we practised over a paddock. “Today [Saturday] we’ve had a little restriction with the cloud but our rules allow us a ‘weather break’ so if you fi nd you’re about to do a manoeuvre and it will put you too close to cloud, you can break off and start again and there’s no penalty for that,” he said. “The pilots have about fourteen different manoeuvres [to perform] which they have to put into a sequence in front of the judges,” Ray said. Competitors fly within a “box”, an area measuring 1000 metres square across the ground and vertical. They need to stay within that box

Jan O’Brien with grandchildren Anna Walker, Sophie Bonnington and Neve Walker. while completing their sequence or their scores will be downgraded, he said. The challenge is that competitors cannot stop once they have started [unless given a weather break] so they need to ensure each manoevure flows easily into the next, leaving no gaps or breaks in the sequence. Competitors fly in a range of different aircraft suited to the entry categories, including Decathlons, Pitt Specials (bi-planes), and Extra 300s designed especially for aerobatics. Ray Pearson flew in the competition in his own Lazer, contesting the intermediate category. Another Intermediate-level competitor, Daniel Comarmond from Gosford, has been flying for 15 years and got interested in aerobatics after watching a Red Bull Air Race overseas. “It blew my mind and thought I’d love to do that. I love what aerobatics does.” He stressed that the training involved to undertake aerobat-

Trish and Ian Flynn enjoyed the aerobatic action.

ics is very strenuous, and the industry has a high degree of safety. “[Aerobatics] looks dangerous but it has a strong safety focus,” he said. Graduate-level competitor Michelle O’Hare from Sydney has been flying for 10 years and performing aerobatics for three years. She was busy monitoring the dual radio frequencies used in the championships when the Narromine Star spoke to her, indicating she was using the event as a lead up to the nationals in Temora next month. “People have done a lot of preparation because they’re getting ready for the nationals and this is a good fi nal competition for us. A fi nal confi rmation of your training before heading to the nationals,” Ray said. Ray indicated that there will be a bigger field at the nationals with up to 40 pilots contesting the event in October. The aerobatics were a welcome school holiday activi-

ty for Anna and Neve Walker from Armatree and their cousin Sophie Bonnington from Dubbo, who attended with their grandparents visiting from Mudgee, Paul and Jan O’Brien. Anna said she enjoyed the aerobatics but wasn’t sure about trying the sport when older. “If I went up I think I would be terriﬁed,” she said. Sister Neve said she would try the sport but “I’d be a bit scared.” Ian and Trish Flynn from Sydney were passing through the area and decided to stop to watch the aerobatic action. “This is just wonderful. The stunts are fantastic,” Trish said. The support provided by the Narromine Aero Club, Narromine Gliding Club and Narromine Shire Council in staging the NSW Aerobatic Championships was greatly appreciated, Ray said. The aerobatic action will be back next May, when the state championships will once again return to Narromine.

Final farewell to Queen Elizabeth II

ON behalf of all Parkes electorate constituents, it was an honour to offer condolences and attend the National Memorial Service for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in The Great Hall of Parliament House last Thursday. The Queen made several visits to the electorate. She visited Broken Hill, where she spoke to patients via radio at the Royal Flying Doctor Service base, Dubbo, where people made the journey to see her, and Bourke, where she toured Bourke Public School. Throughout her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II was a symbol of stability, decency, duty and grace, and her love of family, service to community, and loyalty to country were qualities that we admire as Australians. The death of Queen Elizabeth II marks the end of an era, but her extraordinary legacy will live on forever. Vale Queen Elizabeth II. Long live The King. Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Disaster assistance for flood affected areas

A number of communities throughout the Parkes electorate have once again been impacted by recent ﬂooding. I’m pleased that disaster assistance is being provided by the Australian and NSW Governments, for the Gilgandra, Gunnedah, Moree Plains, Narromine, Warren and Warrumbungle Local Government Areas. Assistance available under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements includes: f Help for residents whose homes or belongings were damaged; f Support for local councils to help with the costs of cleaning up and restoring damaged essential public assets; f Concessional interest rate loans for small businesses, primary producers and non-proﬁt organisations; and f Freight subsidies for primary producers. Further information is available from the Disaster Assist website. Information on personal hardship and distress assistance is available from Service NSW and concessional loan information is available from NSW Rural Assistance Authority.

ﬂooded Wattlebank Lane is heartbreaking. The tractor helps the family get around the property when it’s waterlogged, Richard said, because it’s small and light. The Darcy family have also had to brave the ﬂooded roads to get their daughter to school in Tullamore because the rural school bus service cannot make the trip. “I’ve had to rebuild the front end of my ute, the wheel bearings, swivel bearings etc on the Landcruiser because I’ve been driving through so much water,” Richard said. “School buses can’t go through deep water but you can’t keep your kids home from school all the time.” He said the school had provided support but his daughter was completing year 12 this year and had exams to sit. “You get to town in 15 to 20 minutes normally but the oth-

er day it took me nearly 50 minutes,” he said of the 20-kilometre trip to Tullamore. The Parkes Shire resident regularly makes the trip to Narromine to shop and access local services, as well as Dubbo. The family regularly travels on The McGrane Way. During last Wednesday’s deluge, the Darcy properties received 103.6mm and their neighbour, Neville Jones, received 160mm. “Another neighbour’s rain gauge was well over 160mm,” Richard said. The deluge cut access to both Tullamore and Narromine, not helpful to Richard who needed to see a doctor and could not get to one. At the creek crossing on the boundary of the Darcy properties, the water was 1.8 metres deep at one point after the rain last week, dropping to 1.5 metres 24 hours later. Richard es-

timated the water was about 80 centimetres high over the road at the time we spoke last week. He mentioned a vehicle towing a pop-top van being stuck in a local creek, about 70 metres downstream. “The roads are another matter altogether,” he said, concerned that rural roads are not properly maintained. “The amount of trucks that have come through [The McGrane Way] from Narromine, they’ve just destroyed it. They don’t slow up for the water.” The Narromine Shire Council’s draft Roads Management Strategy has been on public exhibition for over a month and closes tomorrow, September 30. The draft strategy was workshopped at various locations around the shire during that time, and some of this consultation was also impacted by inclement weather.

The council manages a road network spanning almost 1,500 kilometres, more than half of which comprises unsealed roadways. It receives limited funding annually for maintenance and new work, and sadly, anything claimed under federal Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements to repair roads can only restore the roads to their previous condition, not improve them. While federal and state disaster assistance is available for landholders, businesses, councils and other entities impacted by the ﬂooding, Richard was philosophical about who ultimately paid for that, and if indeed Australia could afford it. But the need for it was undisputed. “You’ve got to look after those who put food on the table and clothes on our backs,” he said.

From page 1 With another La Niña forecast, ongoing bad weather could potentially carry forward into next year. The Narromine Star asked Richard how landholders could plan for something like that and how they could move forward, if at all. “Looking forward, you try to keep your livestock healthy and if you get the forecast saying the big rains are coming you can get your stock to where you know they’re going to be pretty safe,” Richard said. “Our whole place at the moment, except for one part, has basically got water all over it.” The Darcy family kindly provided photos of their land inundated with water. Burra Road at the intersection with Wattlebank Lane looks like an inland river. And the sight of their little old International tractor chugging along

River management flowing in the right direction but scope for improvement THE Inspector-General of Water Compliance (IGWC), the Hon. Troy Grant, has used his address at the Murray Darling Association conference in Albury last week to reveal the fi ndings from his latest report. He undertook this work after communities in the Murray-Darling Basin (the Basin) brought forward concerns about how the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) manages its environmental watering deliverables and how the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) runs the River Murray system. Mr Grant heard these concerns as he toured the Basin. A year after being appointed to the Inspector-General role and a year after his fi rst address to the Murray Darling Association’s conference, he delivered his report. “It became very clear to me there was a lack of trust and confidence in how the MDBA was managing the river, as well as how the CEWH was going about using its environmental water. So as part of my oversight role, I made a commitment to look into these concerns, and my report shows these agencies are performing their functions according to their respective obligations”, said Mr Grant. Speaking at the conference, Mr Grant said that despite not fi nding any explicit wrongdoing, he does see opportunities and scope for improvement. “I know this is not what many were ex-

pecting to hear, but as the Inspector-General, I can assure you, based on the evidence before me, this is what I found. “My role as Inspector-General of Water Compliance is to provide independent oversight; to ask critical questions about how government agencies are performing their roles; to gather and assess the data and evidence before me; and, to hold agencies to account. “Just as I will call out bad actors, actions, and practices if I ﬁ nd them, in equal measure, I will acknowledge the good being done” Mr Grant said. The report highlights the complexities of water management and notes that each Basin government holds information about rules, entitlements, allocations, and environmental water – there is no single source of information. This is something the Inspector-General has noticed as part of a trend, with states operating under their individual jurisdictional powers. “This siloed, individual, and narrow-cast lens that Australia’s most precious water resource is seen through is an artefact of federation. It is a by-product and reality of joint state and federal management via both the Murray-Darling Basin Agreement and the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Water in the Basin must be seen as an Australian asset and not an asset of an individual state or industry.” To view Mr Grant’s report, visit the IGWC website.

Royal commission into Robodebt scheme starts By SHARON BONTHUYS A Royal Commission into the former Morrison government’s “Robodebt” welfare debt assessment and recovery scheme started with initial public hearings in Brisbane this week. Commissioner Catherine Holmes AC SC and Senior Counsel Assisting made short

opening statements but no witnesses were called at the ﬁ rst hearing on September 27. The Governor General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd) issued Letters Patent on August 18 to establish the Royal Commission, which acknowledged “the harm caused to affected members of the Australian community” by

the automated scheme that was found to have unlawfully pursued welfare recipients for alleged debt. The Royal Commission will investigate the establishment, design and implementation of the Robodebt scheme, the use of third party debt collectors, how concerns about the scheme were raised and responded to, and what the in-

tended and actual outcomes of the scheme were. Members of the public can make submissions to the Royal Commission until February 3, 2023. A form can be downloaded from the Robodebt Royal Commission website, or a hard copy requested by calling 1800 317 022. A spokesperson for the Royal Commission conﬁ rmed to

the Narromine Star that all public hearings will be held in Brisbane, with no plans for the team to travel interstate. Hearings will be livestreamed through the Royal Commission’s website and transcripts will be made available shortly afterwards. Commissioner Holmes is required to report back by April 18, 2023.

No room for complacency with foot and mouth disease TRAVELLERS should remain vigilant of the risks posed by foot and mouth disease (FMD) and other pests and diseases when coming back to Australia. Head of Biosecurity at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), Dr Chris Locke warned people to be aware of biosecurity risks when travelling. “We can all enjoy our holi-

days overseas, and after two years of the pandemic it’s great to be able to visit our neighbours,” Dr Locke said. “But we still need to be vigilant of the biosecurity risks of travelling, especially in light of the recent incursion of FMD into Indonesia. “Be sensible when you’re travelling. Don’t bring back anything you shouldn’t, like meat or dairy products. That includes takeaway food you

might have bought at the airport before you arrived in Australia. “Make sure your shoes are clean before you put them in your suitcase. And if you’re not sure about what you can bring to Australia, check on our website or ask a biosecurity officer when you arrive. “Remember – you won’t get in trouble if you declare it!” DAFF head of Traveller Operations Vikki Fischer said it

“But biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility, and none of us can afford to be complacent. “Australia’s agricultural industry and environment rely on all of us playing our part to keep out dangerous pests and diseases.” More advice to travellers and information about mailing or bringing goods into Australia can be found on the DAFF website.

“Where’s Melinda?”: visitor asks By SHARON BONTHUYS ADELAIDE visitor and “committed runner” Ann Gorey had one question as she shopped with her tour group in Dandaloo Street on September 26: “Where’s Melinda?” The 78-year-old, who regularly runs for exercise and enjoyment, had been admiring the Glenn McGrath statue in Tom Perry Park when she discovered that Melinda Gainsford-Taylor also hailed from the same area. “I’m an enormous admirer of Melinda. When we came to Narromine yesterday, there’s this huge statue of Glenn McGrath, who we all love, and I said, ‘Where’s Melinda?’ There isn’t anything,” Ann told the Narromine Star. “It’s Melinda’s birthday on

Saturday, too,” Ann added. It’s a fair question, which the Narromine Star asked back in April when another visitor to town asked the same question. Melinda Gainsford-Taylor’s achievements as a national and international sprinter are considerable. The triple Olympian, Commonwealth Games medallist and 1995 200-metre indoor world championship winner won 13 individual titles across a range of sprint distances during her athletics career. Born in Narromine in 1971, Melinda started her career as a child with Little Athletics. She retired from elite sport in 2002 and is still heavily involved in Little Athletics Australia. Back in April, Narromine Shire Mayor told us that it

wasn’t feasible to recognise the many world champions that hailed from the area with statues like Glenn McGrath’s. “The Glen McGrath statue cost $77,000 in 2009 and would be more than double that now,” Cr Davies said then. “From a funding point of view it becomes seriously difficult.” However, Narromine Shire Council has been thinking about how to appropriately acknowledge the region’s sporting icons. At its meeting on June 22, 2022, the council voted to create a community committee of local sporting user groups to identify candidates for a Legends of Sport honour roll to be erected in a suitable location in Tom Perry Park. What this honour roll will look like and how it will rec-

ognise the sporting identities is still to be determined. Ann isn’t terribly fussed on that and feels it’s high time that high achieving women like Melinda Gainsford-Taylor are duly recognised for their sporting achievements. “The men look after the men. It doesn’t cross their mind that a woman should get a statue too. It takes forever for women to get one. “The 21st century is exactly the time to say ‘it’s time to have [a statue for women]! “If you want equity, there should be one [for women] to equal Glenn McGrath,” Ann said. This was also the view of the women Ann spoke to during her visit to the shopping precinct on Monday. “Every woman said, yes, we think this should happen,”

Ann said. “Even my bus driver said this should happen.” Ann is currently visiting the central west with 15 other travellers on an organised ten-day tour visiting Dubbo, Gilgandra, Wellington, and other locations including Narromine. She was most impressed with Narromine and said she bought all her Christmas gifts here because everything was so wonderful. She said her fellow tour group members were wearing their scarves and beanies purchased in Narromine. “In our ten days, the only thing we haven’t seen on our travels is Melinda,” Ann said. She feels so strongly, she might pull out pen and paper on her return to Adelaide and press the case with elected representatives.

The rain had bucketed down for most of the day, which impacted their planned grand arrival in classic cars driven by members of the Trangie Car Club, but the graduates still enjoyed being ferried to the event in the beautiful old vehicles. Earlier in the day, the seven teens had graduated from year 12.

Community News Palliative patients to benefit from final Apex Club gift By SHARON BONTHUYS

A generous donation from a community organisation that folded ten years ago will help local residents receiving palliative care at home. The remaining members of the Narromine Apex Club, which closed in 2012 after 55 years, voted in July to use what funds were left in the club’s bank account to purchase a “syringe driver” for use by local palliative patients. It was motivated to do so at the suggestion of the Narromine Cancer Support Group which provides assistance and support to local cancer sufferers. This small, unassuming device, which cost $2,200, will help deliver pain relief medication to palliative patients who choose to remain at home. It will be loaned out to those in need in the local community by the Narromine Health Service. The gift was made in memory of Richard Duff, a former senior active member of the Apex Club who passed away on June 23 following a brief battle with cancer. Richard was well known for his generosity, community spirit, and his long connection to Narromine. Several former senior active members of the Narromine Apex Club gathered at the hospital last Friday with the Narromine Cancer Support Group and Richard’s son Craig Duff to formally present the equipment to health service staff. Club spokesperson Ewen Jones told the Narromine Star that the former club members were pleased to be able to use the last of their funds to provide a device that would help make a difference to those in need. “Richard did a lot for the community.

this device, donated in his memory by Apex, he will continue to help others,” Ewen said. “We asked the Narromine Cancer Support Group how best we could support them, and they suggested we buy a syringe driver as the hospital didn’t have one for palliative people who wanted to stay at home. Rosemary Maunder is a registered nurse who works daily with palliative patients in the local community. “It’s very good that we’ve got our own [device] for this purpose,” Rosemary said. “It’s designated solely for our community health work.” This meant the syringe driver will be used solely for palliative care support out in the local community. “This is a fabulous addition to the equipment that the community health team needs for palliative patients. We are thrilled to help obtain this,” said Nikki McCutcheon, president of Narromine Cancer Support Group. The Apex Club also made a donation to Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, which provided considerable support to Richard Duff and his family following his diagnosis. The donations to both causes are greatly appreciated by the Duff family, said Craig Duff. “Dad was a very community-oriented man,” he said. “At each Apex meeting we used to say: ‘For good food, for good fellowship, and the privilege to serve, we give thanks’,” Ewen said. The community can now thank the Narromine Apex Club for its ﬁ nal gift that will continue to help those in need for some time to come.

Dubbo drug court to start next year THE NSW Drug Court will start sitting at Dubbo on February 20 next year. “This is the ﬁ rst court of its kind in regional NSW and a great win for our community,” said Member for the Dubbo electorate, Dugald Saunders. “Beating addiction and drug use is not just a criminal justice issue, but also a health issue. “The Drug Court is proven to be efficient at driving down crime, and its opening on February 20 will be a great day not just for our community, but for people right across western NSW.” In June 2021, the NSW Government announced almost $30 million to expand the NSW Drug Court to Dubbo,

following a $3.7 million expansion of Dubbo Courthouse. The announcement builds on the Government’s $7.5 million commitment to build and operate a residential rehabilitation facility in the Dubbo region, and $5.8 million over four years to expand the Youth Koori Court to Dubbo. Attorney General Mark Speakman said the Dubbo Drug Court was a much-anticipated addition to the region’s justice system and would change many lives for the better. “Success in the Drug Court program takes commitment and hard work, but it is a tried and tested program which helps break the cycle of dependency and reoffending and can hand people their

lives back,” Mr Speakman said. “Participants are supported to address the root causes of their problems to beat their addiction. “The Drug Court is proven to have a long-term effect on reoffending, and to be more cost effective than ‘mainstream’ courts. “If we are going to tackle drug use and addiction – and the problems they create for communities – a multi-agency partnership such as that which underpins the Drug Court is necessary.” An interagency working group, made up of representatives from across the justice and health sectors, as well as other stakeholders, is currently preparing for the

court’s commencement. A program of education, awareness and stakeholder engagement is also being developed for the judiciary, the legal profession, and staff at referring courts. Up to 80 eligible adult offenders will be able to undertake the program at the NSW Drug Court at Dubbo at any one time. Participants in the Drug Court will undergo a minimum 12-month program, including mandatory detoxiﬁcation in jail and drug testing up to three times a week in the community, while receiving interventions to address the underlying causes of drug dependency and offending. Violent or sex offenders are excluded from participating.

Landholders learn about regenerating land and habitats By SHARON BONTHUYS ABOUT 30 people attended a special ﬁeld day just outside Narromine last Saturday to hear about regenerating land and habitats. The free event was staged by the Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) and Landcare NSW at neighbouring properties Merebone and Warrina on September 24. Landholder Andrew Knop led the group on a tour of the properties and spoke at length about the experiences he, his wife Jennifer and their neighbours Alan and Therese Channel had planting vegetation around their homes which were built on the rise above a ﬂoodplain. “You really need to know

your landscape so you know what to plant,” Andrew said, indicating that some vegetation does not do particularly well in extended periods of wet weather as has been experienced in large tracts of the central west recently. “Lots of trees just can’t handle waterlogged areas.” While touring Warrina, Andrew demonstrated how the Channel’s chopped wood pile served as an excellent habitat for small creatures. “Lizards like to live inside the gaps between the stacked logs. So do dunnarts, geckos, skinks, and baby goannas. You won’t really ﬁ nd snakes though,” Andrew said. Andrew also helped the group collect seeds from several species of trees on Merebone.

He said that he and Jennifer had invested in a range of different plants on their property, and not all species were natives. The two Narromine Shire properties have a growing reputation in landcare, biodiversity, habitat creation for wildlife and conservation, and hosted a visit by the Australian Plants Society (NSW) in April. Local Landcare Coordinator Craig Bennett was pleased with the turnout which included people who had travelled from north of Gilgandra to attend. Landcare NSW and BCT work with regional landcare networks to raise awareness of and support for private land conservation efforts across the state, like the local ones viewed at the ﬁeld day.

The site after the fire. Contributed by CAPTAIN WADE HAINES, TRANGIE FIRE STATION 465 AT 3.08am on Sunday, September 25, crews from Station 465 Trangie, Station 401 Narromine and Station 284 Delroy, responded to a house ﬁ re in Mullah Street Trangie. On arrival, a medium single level timber and iron house was completely engulfed in ﬁ re, which had extended to the

vacant block next door. The overgrown grass on the vacant block had also caught fi re. Upon arrival of Pump 465 and Rescue Tanker 465, fi refighters were notified that a male had been pulled from the house fi re by his neighbour, who woke up to see the house alight. The sole occupant of the house was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation by NSW Ambulance. Crews got to work to extin-

guish the fi re, but soon after arrival the house was in an advanced state of structural collapse. Most of the iron roof had collapsed and the exterior walls burnt out. The house was not salvageable. Firefighters from Trangie and the NSW Rural Fire Service established a defensive attack to protect an adjoining property wiith additional hose lines deployed to gain fi re control. Due to the combustible

Defensive fi refighting was maintained due to the dangerous structural integrity of the building. Additional support was provided by HAZMAT 280 Station Dubbo, NSW Rural Fire Service Narromine HQ, NSW Police, NSW Ambulance and Essential Energy.

Model Ts tour Narromine and Trangie By SHARON BONTHUYS THE 14th National Model T Ford Rally 20T2 trundled into the shire earlier this week, visiting Narromine and Trangie on September 26. With the youngest vehicles just a shade under 100 and the oldest 112 years old, the rally visit was a sight to see. Many locals took the opportunity to check out the motoring relics during their visits, and were certainly impressed by what they saw. In Narromine, the tour visited the Aviation Museum. The old military parade ground opposite the museum was packed with historic and classic vehicles. Museum chair Peter Kierath said that about 250 people from the rally visited the Aviation Museum for morning tea and a tour of the shire’s premiere tourist attraction. The visit numbers were considered a record for the museum, he said. “It was brilliant. The cars were ancient! I was talk-

ing to one fellow and asked him what age [his vehicle was] and he said, ‘Oh, this is 1913,’” Peter said. “Everyone thought the morning tea was excellent and I received many fantastic reports on what people thought about the museum,” he said. The tour then continued on its way to Trangie, where the vehicles parked along Dandaloo Street while the rally contingent enjoyed lunch at the USMC and took a wander around town. The week-long rally is based in Dubbo this week, with 122 registered entrants from 23 historic car clubs around Australia and internationally participating. The Model Ts included Tourers, Roadsters, Coupes, Tudors, Speedsters, TT Trucks, Utilities, Vans, Town Cars, Fordors, Centerdoors, Depot Hacks, Sedans (Not Speciﬁed), Wagonettes, and Modern Vehicles. If you missed their stops in Narromine Shire, you can catch the action in Dubbo until this Saturday.

School holidays: Free Junior Landcare enviro fun By SHARON BONTHUYS LOOKING for something different to do during these school holidays? It’s National Biodiversity Month and children will love delving into the online Junior Landcare Learning Centre. Packed with resources to help children learn about the environment and how they can protect it, there are activity sheets focusing on the key areas of food production, biodiversity, waste management and First Nations’ perspectives. The Biodiversity Find-a-Word activity sheet also introduces children to key themes and ideas about the importance of balance and looking after our local ecosystems. “For children to want to protect the environment, they must ﬁ rst be able to appreciate and understand it,” said Dr Shane Norrish, Landcare Australia CEO. “The Junior Landcare Learning Centre has been designed to do just

that, with this latest activity sheet building on the many existing activities to help children build knowledge and connections to their local environment.” Earlier this year, 10 new First Nations learning activities were introduced to the Learning Centre. Developed by Landcare Australia together with First Nations educator, Wiradjuri man Adam Shipp, they include discovering First Nations weather, creating an Indigenous plant use garden, and exploring First Nations people’s languages map. Landcare Australia ﬁ rmly believes that the children of today are the Landcarers of the future. With local farmer Bruce Maynard receiving the 2022 Bob Hawke Landcare Award last month, recognising his decades of work in leadership, natural resources management and sustainable agriculture, the children of the Narromine Shire have an excellent role model right on their doorstep.

Combined churches’ thanksgiving service for Queen By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE’S churches combined to hold a thanksgiving and memorial service on the National Day of Mourning in honour of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. About 55 people attended the service in St Mary’s Anglican Church at Narromine on September 22. Prayers of thanksgiving and comfort were offered for the late monarch and her family, with readings across the religious spectrum. A prayer for the people of the Commonwealth was also offered. Speakers included Father Abbas (Catholic Church), David Taylor (Generocity Church), Arthur Woollams and Brandon McDougall (Anglican Church) and Campbell Muldoon (Baptist Church). Arthur commented that one of his favourite images of the Queen that would stay with him was from her time spent in the wilds of Balmor-

al, Scotland, wearing gumboots and driving a Land Rover. “I’m sure if she wasn’t the Queen, she would’ve loved to be a farmer,” he said. Mourners were invited forward to share their special memories of the Queen. Greg O’Mally shared his story about meeting the Queen during her tour of Bourke in 2000. Jenine Varady-Szabo spoke about travelling with her mother and worshipping at a church service with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family in 1978 at Crathie Kirk, a small Church of Scotland parish church where the Royal Family worships while at Balmoral. Jenine and her husband Greg also met and spoke with the Queen in Kathmandu, Nepal, at an official function during the Royal visit in 1986. David Taylor and Sandy Healy also provided recollections of family and friends who had met the Queen on different occasions.

School holidays: fabulous fun at the libraries By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Shire libraries have fabulous, fun activities happening over the school holidays. We asked library coordinator Gabby Teale-McEvoy to tell us more. “These school holidays are all about sensational science at Macquarie Regional Library,” said Gabby. “Next week we have ﬁ zz experiments at Narromine on Wednesday, followed by an afternoon movie, ‘Strike’, on our new Smart Panel. Popcorn provided.” The library will then explore the science of colour the following day. Trangie library will be creating gooey, stretchy slimes and putties on Wednesday, followed by ﬁ zz experiments on Thursday, Gabby said. Sounds like loads of fun and possibly a bit messy, too! But, If science is not your child’s thing, Gabby tells me the library also has computers, colouring, craft, Lego and games available right across the holidays. And books... we must not forget the thousands of books on the shelves just waiting to be borrowed, every one of them waiting to take their reader on a journey of discovery. Best of all, there’s no cost to attend any of these activities. Zip, zilcho, nada. It’s completely free. Contact your local library for times and further details.

Sport Gerries golf: washed out again! Contributed by NORM LEWIS THE Gerries golfers of Narromine are really missing a lot of golf this year. The weather has played havoc with the winter competition. Last week (September 21) was washed out again. “El Supremo” Terry Willis has advised of changes to our program and the start of the Summer Saturday competition. There will be no Wednesday golf next week due to another event on that day. The opening round of the Gerries’ Summer Competition will start next weekend. Please make a note of these changes. See you all at the Clubhouse.

They would like to thank those members of the Narromine Golf Club for the work they did over the two days. Marj Kelly and her helpers in the kitchen did a wonder-

ful job catering along with the two Bruces for their work on the barbecues, Dale Harding and Viv Halbisch on the cards and computer and Peter Gainsford and his helpers on the course. The visitors were full of praise for the condition of the golf course and hospitality. The Veterans Club would also like to thank all those members who lent golf buggies to some of the visitors, which was much appreciated. The Club is also indebted to the Narromine Shire for their sponsorship of the major trophies. The Veterans Club could not have held such an event without this help and they now look to the future as we have been allocated the event for 2023. Congratulations to all the winners, in particular, the local Narromine champions Tony and Rob, who have won this event twice now.

Clubhouse cup goes to “Young Guns”

Contributed by NORM LEWIS

LAST Saturday, 27 players contested the second Clubhouse Cup competition at Narromine golf course. The “Young Guns” (players aged under 30) took on the “Old Boys” (over 30). It was a pretty close competition and attracted plenty of comments as to who was the better team and the better players. The Old Boys were confident, but alas, it was the Young Guns who emerged victorious by the odd point. There was plenty of talk and skiting as to who would win. A very interesting afternoon. Prize winners for the Young Guns were Dan Coen, 35, and Alec Sambrook, 34. It took an Oldie to return the top score of the day. Greg Kearines was the best of the oldies with 36, followed by Tony Harding with 34, but it was not enough to take the cup. The Long Drive went to Mitch Smith, the NTP on the tenth to Tony Harding, while the Jackpot hole (the 17th) was not won. Saturday night saw the popular Calcutta Sweep conducted on the Shoot Out fi nal to be played on Sunday. The sweep was successful and a very good prize is awaiting the winner. The ‘22 Shootout, Third Edition” was played on Sunday afternoon. This event was between nine players who qualified between July and September with the top ten aggregate total. The play-off attracted a good crowd to watch the event, which came down to two players left, Russell Hunt and Mitch Smith. It was a very close fi nal with the winner being Russell Hunt. It is rumoured Russell also won the Calcutta, so it was a great day for Russ and an exciting afternoon for all. There will be no golf this Saturday or Sunday due to the Dolly Festival using part of the course. On Monday, there will be a 2 person ambrose. Please note: there will be no junior clinic until mid-October when a golfing clinic conducted by NSW Golf will take place. This will be a great opportunity for the youngsters to receive expert coaching from NSW Golf officials. That’s all for this week, see you all at the 19th.

A ‘mixed bag’ of racing due to rain

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES SEVERAL high proﬁ le metropolitan trainers were represented at the Forbes TAB meeting on Tuesday, which been organised at very short notice by volunteers from the Forbes Jockey Club. Leading Sydney trainer Bjorn Baker won with Elle Effess while in the same race a close second was Cash Me trained by the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace partnership, runaway winners of the Melbourne Premiership for the 2021/2022 season. Due to a waterlogged track at Orange the meeting was ofﬁcially transferred on Monday afternoon to Forbes, subject to a track inspection at 6am on race morning. With a large number of meetings abandoned in NSW due to wet weather, Forbes Jockey Club staged the meeting for the overall good of the racing industry. Five of the scheduled eight races were run before the meeting was postponed after some jockeys voiced concerns about a section of the track near the back turn. In the opening race Dubbo trainer Michael Mulholland considered both his runners Wunambal and Gibbed a good winning chance but would not

have envisaged the outcome. Wunambal (Serg Lisnyy, $2.60) took the lead from Kallie before Gibbed (Jake Barrett, $2.35 favourite) came from last to draw level with the judge declaring a dead heat for fi rst after studying the photo fi nish. Nearly four lengths away third in the 1600 metres class two handicap was the Hawkesbury trained Amy Ekcels (Grant Buckley, $4.20). The following race, the 1800 metres benchmark 66 handicap also featured a close fi nish when Alloway (Winona Costin, $3.70) trained at The Oaks south of Sydney by James Ponsonby, took the lead at the top of the straight and lasted for a three way photo decision from Careering Away (Anna Roper, $4.60) and Sorokin (Nick Heywood, $7). Dubbo trainer Connie Greig continued a good season when Yorker (Anna Roper, $3.40 favourite) led for home and was a comfortable winner from Mighty Minnie (Ken Dunbar, $8.50) and Chilean Express (Damon Budler, $11) in the 1100 metres Country Boosted Maiden Plate. The Bjorn Baker-trained Elle Effess (Winona Costin, $4.20) reached the lead then held on for a close win in the 1400 metres Maiden Handicap from Cash Me (Tony Cavallo, $14) and Angry Liam (Grant Buckley, $4.80). Dubbo-based apprentice

Jake Barrett backed up from a winning treble at Cobar on Sunday to win the 1300 metres class one handicap on the Paul Theobald, Bathurst-trained Power Bank. A recent winner at Gilgandra, Power Bank ($2.70) had a nice run behind the leaders before accounting for Private Cheetah (Winona Costin, $1.95 fav.) and Watermelon Wine (Zara Lewis, $31). As the last of the stragglers left Forbes racecourse last week, Roy L McCabe looked a forlorn figure, sitting on a drum and keeping watch on his earlier unplaced runner Guzzler. Alongside was his partner, jockey Ashleigh Stanley, and fellow Bathurst trainer Dean Mirfi n also caring for the last horses left in the tie up stalls. They all looked rather glum and resigned to a long wait before being able to go home. Their runners had been delivered to Forbes in the morning by a horse transport company and the truck then departed for another job a considerable distance away. The arrangement was for the truck to return after the last Forbes event, race eight, timed for 5.30pm in which Dean Mirfi n had Supergaze engaged and the barrier trial at 5.45pm and transport the horses back to Bathurst. Unfortunately, the Forbes meeting was abandoned after the running of race five at

3.40pm due to the wet track and everyone went home, except Roy, Ashleigh, Dean and their horses! The situation did not improve much for trainer Roy L McCabe over the next four days leading up to the Bathurst Cup meeting on Sunday, with the heavy rain forecast threatening a postponement. Coupled with that was his horse Know Where To Look only being declared an emergency in the feature sprint race and unlikely to gain a start. Bathurst however, missed the heavier rainfall recorded around the region and some late scratching’s enabled Know Where To Look to become a starter in the 14 horse field to line up for the $110,000 Ray White Emms Mooney-The Panorama. This was to be the third staging of The Panorama, predicted to quickly become established as a major race on the country calendar and viewed as a vital lead up race for the $2 million Kosciusko at Royal Randwick in October. The six-year-old mare Know Where To Look, In February had been the last winner from the McCabe stable and started a $26 outsider against a classy field in The Panorama. With a ride described as “brilliant” by the trainer, Jean Van Overmeire positioned Know Where To Look midfield on the rails before

easing to the outside in the straight. Finishing powerfully and to wild cheering from local supporters, Know Where To Look raced to a half-length win over Super Helpful (Quayd Krogh, $4.80) with another halflength to Don’tforgetmonica (Reece Jones, $3.60 favourite). A former jockey who rode both as a professional and at the picnics, Roy L McCabe has been a trainer for the past six years and although he has prepared some handy gallopers from a small team, The Panorama is by far his biggest win. More straight forward was the stylish win by Cognac in the $50,000 Daffodil Cottage Bathurst Cup over 1800 metres which was a Big Dance Eligibility Race. Trained at Rosehill by Richard and Will Freedman, Cognac ($3.60 favourite) was very well handled by Keagan Latham when leading most of the way to win by over three lengths from Tampering (Tom Sherry, $11) and Tudor Prince (Jean Van Overmeire, $10). For Bathurst trainers it was a most successful day with the Paul Theobald-trained Power Bank (Reece Jones, $9.50) making it three wins in succession, Down To Earth (Mitchell Bell, $6.50) winning for Ashlee Grives and of course Know Where To Look winning the feature Sprint for Roy L McCabe, before a big crowd.

The Narromine Junior Gorillas had seven representatives in the Western Plains team. Rugby 7’s is a variant of rugby

union in which teams are made up of seven players playing seven-minute halves, instead of the usual 15 players playing 40-minute halves. The faster, free ﬂowing format of 7’s provided an exciting few days for both the players and parents, yet allowing players to showcase their skill set. Well done, everyone!

News from Narromine Bowls Club Contributed by RICK BOHM NO joy for the lads in the red trousers over the weekend with the squad failing to win a match during the Zone pennants’ playoffs. So it’s now back to plan “B” and hopefully we can grab that elusive ﬂag in the Open Gender pennants’ competition next February. The ﬁ nal of the “B” singles were contested last Saturday afternoon which resulted in Racardo Stanford atop the podium after a hard fought 31/26 win over Kane Adams. Well done, lads. Great to see a couple of relative newcomers to the game coming through. Social bowls this week again saw trying conditions on Thurs-

day, but not bad enough to stop the formidable trio of Bill West, Colin Hume and Ray Anthony claim the top spot. Worthy runners up were the cynamic duo of Kane Adams and John Silk. Sunday saw 10 hardy souls take to the green with Lionel Ayoub and Danny Carnevale the pick of the bunch. Well done, lads. The “GUB” Thorne day is now early next month and we expect visits from Bathurst, Walgett, Bourke, Trangie and other traditional supporters of this day. That’s it for me for this week. I cannot recommend a week in hospital despite the nurses being outstanding, skinny beds to sleep in and ordinary food, not a couple of favorites of mine.
