CWA charts a new course

By SHARON BONTHUYS AS it heads into its 100th year, the Narromine branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) is charting a new course which it hopes will allow it to grow.

The CWA is looking to the future, hopeful that some recent changes made at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) will help the branch to grow.

Returning president Jean Richardson told the Narromine Star that with less than 20 members, the sub-branch was keen to attract new members. The reality was, however, that some women who were interested in joining could not attend meetings during the day due to their work commitments.

“For the next six months we are going to trial meeting on Wednesday evenings,” Jean said.

“We know that this might not please some of our existing members but we will see how this goes. We may get new members from this change.”

The topic of meeting times and working women arose after the CWA’s presentation at the Narromine Library on September 8, celebrating the centenary of the foundation of the CWA NSW. The leadership team subsequently considered whether a change of meeting day and time could be what is needed to involve more people in the CWA.

“Clean slate” bush detox program to be trialled

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE shire residents wanting to reassess their relationship with alcohol or stimulants can apply to join a free clinically supervised telehealth pilot program to detox safely from their homes.

Commissioned by the Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN), the Clean Slate Clinic Bush Detox Service is a new GP-designed and evidence-based telehealth service. It will be made available to 20 patients across central and western NSW. Half of the 20 fully-funded places will be made available to people who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

“We’re excited to make a hugely positive impact and improve services and availability right across the region,” said WNSW PHN CEO, Andrew Coe. Pre-pandemic figures show falling alcohol-related emergency department presentation figures in the region, according to the WNSW PHN. However, problematic relationships with alcohol for individuals, links to domestic violence and disconnection to family and community mean it remains one of the top five community health concerns in the region. Localised drug and alcohol rehabilitation services have also been noted as a key need.

Andrew Coe says the pilot program will provide vital in-

“Individuals living with alcohol dependence are not unique to [the region] or Australia, but this new pilot program will allow us to effectively gauge how effective at-home detox support can be for people in our region,” he said.

Co-created by GP Dr

Chris Davis, Hello Sunday Morning founder and former CEO Chris Raine, and health economist, Pia Clinton-Tarestad, the telehealth service is modelled from Dr Davis’ experience successfully home-detoxing patients in Darlinghurst, Blacktown, and before that, in the UK. Since its inception in 2014, Dr Davis’ GP outpatient pro-

gram has shown remarkable success in helping people cut down or stop using alcohol with or without medication.

It is now being offered via telehealth through the Clean Slate program to support people through a medicated withdrawal process from the comfort of their own homes.

Mr Raine, whose Hello Sunday Morning initiative now supports one of the world’s biggest online communities focused on changing people’s relationship with alcohol, said the telehealth service was a “game changer”.

“Detoxing from alcohol is hard enough, but our system makes it even harder by requiring people to go to hospital or rehab to do it safely – this is especially difficult in regional Australia,” he said.

Last week the Narromine Star caught up with Chris Raine when he visited the central and far west to talk about the Clean Slate Clinic Bush Detox pilot program.

We asked Chris how interested people could join the program.

“It’s fi rst in, best dressed.

People sign up and do a suitability questionnaire on our website.

It will prioritise those who are drinking daily and drinking quite heavily, and are suitable for a clinically supervised clinical detox. It’s really for people in that situation, of which there are many across the country,” Chris said.

RECENT weather events have caused significant damage to Council infrastructure. Council’s road crew teams have been out across the Shire assessing flooded roads and damaged roads to keep road users safe.

Assessments of the road network are ongoing and there are significant damages to roads and Council staff are working as fast as possible to address them.

Narromine Shire Council’s General Manager, Jane Redden, is calling for residents to continue with their understanding as the Narromine region has experienced a lot of rain over the past 24 months.

“Council understands that people need to travel and move throughout the Narromine region and a large number of Narromine Shire Council’s roads remain closed. How-

In preparation for this next rainfall event, Council will be undertaking some minor maintenance work on the Narromine levee. These works are a precautionary measure

and there is no concern with the integrity of the levee.

Council will also be monitoring stormwater over the next week and will be placing pumps at identified locations. These pumps will be used to assist with the saturated systems if required.

Sandbagging stations are available during daylight hours at Narromine and Trangie Showgrounds for residents that are likely to be impacted by floodwater.

Council encourages anyone that wishes to report a problem to please report it to Council immediately via the website or by phone.

Posting to a community or Council’s Facebook page is not a reporting method and this is not captured

by Council, added Mrs Redden. f Further information about the latest weather, warnings, rainfall, and river heights is available at www.bom.gov.au/nsw/. f For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) on 132 500. f In life threatening situations, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

Council meeting wrap up

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Shire Council met again on October 12. A wrap up of key points from the meeting is as follows.

Roads Cr Craig Davies reported in his Mayoral Minute that the Newell Highway Taskforce met on September 13 and provided an update on improvements including overtaking lanes. The report also mentioned that $575 million is available for the various overpass projects required for Inland Rail, including the one proposed for Tomingley Road.

It was reported that Tom i ng ley-Eu mu nger ie road route was accepted for road reclassification.

The Manildra-Culling Street and Wentworth Bypass will be part of the reclassification process.

These roads are major heavy vehicle routes skirting Dubbo and heavy vehicles contribute significant wear and tear to the road surfaces. The report says the Tomingley-Eumungerie route will be owned by the NSW government but Council could possibly get a contract to maintain it.

Funding The Tomingley Gold Operations Community Fund will make disbursements to seven community and sporting organisations totalling $41,850.

Council voted to grant requests from six community and sporting groups for fi nancial assistance totalling $6,437, and to make annual contributions totalling $10,777.27 to eight groups plus schools.

Development Four development applications with a combined value of $616,878 were approved for September 2022.

The total approved development applications for the current fi nancial year stands at 14, with a total value of $2,809,070.

Council voted to proceed with public exhibition and consultation in relation to the planning proposal to rezone certain land to zone R1 General Residential and zone R5 Large Lot Residential, and change minimum lot sizes to increase the supply of residential land in Narromine and Trangie.

Council voted against a controversial development application to install a second-hand moveable dwelling (with additions) and hangar (with workshop/ bathroom) in the Skypark residential estate adjacent to the Narromine Aerodrome. Eight objections were received in relation to the proposal.

More than 30 pages of supporting documents were attached to the meeting papers which included recommendations to accept the use of “alternative building materials” in relation to the moveable dwelling and vary adopted standards in relation to the dwelling and hangar.

Several Councillors spoke to the matter indicating they could not support the motions which would create a precedent if the applicant were allowed to install a moveable dwelling in Skypark. This would impact the style and am-

Council unanimously rejected the development application in its current form. Council recommended the applicant amend details of the development application to include a dwelling that would meet the current code and remove the workshop and bathroom from the hangar plans.

Other Council’s code of conduct complaints report, which needs to be provided to the Office of Local Government before Christmas each year, indicated one complaint was reported and resolved with written apology during the reporting period. The total cost of referrals to the conduct reviewer for the financial year was $7,357.50.

“Clean slate” bush detox program to be trialled

Dr Chris Davis, co-creator of the pilot program.

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS

From page 1 HE said the telehealth program was also suitable for people who had been waiting a while to do a detox or haven’t been able to access a program or get to an in-person detox in their community.

“It’s bringing the model into a person’s home, farm or community, wherever they are, over the phone.”

The Narromine Star pointed out the reliability of telecommunications in rural and remote areas could not necessarily be guaranteed. Chris agreed that the Clean Slate program has the potential to reach far and wide, provided telecommunications services are available.

“You’d probably need some advocacy towards Telstra,” he said of telecommunications issues.

“This is a model that will help people who do have that access and do have long distances between themselves and access to health care.”

Chris said an important part of the program was liaising with pharmacies in rural and remote locations

as well as working with support persons for those undertaking the program.

“We’ve now put 200 people across the country through our service.

Most of them are in metro areas,” he said.

“This is a pilot [for rural areas.

Detoxing] is a hard thing to do, particularly if you’ve been drinking for a long time. We do think there’s a big demand in regional and remote Australia for people who do want to take a break from drinking.”

Chris spoke of the difficulty in breaking the cycle, especially when people encounter physical symptoms of withdrawal and give up, thinking it’s too hard to quit or cut back.

“The way of life is different [in the bush] so the complexities of life are different. In the cities people are living on top of each other and there’s an anxiety that comes from not having open spaces. In the bush there may be a sense of isolation and not having many people to talk to. We

want to help people quit [drinking] when they’re ready.”

The pilot in central and western NSW joins one in western Queensland as the fi rst non-metro trials of the program.

“We hope we’ll learn how to do this well so it is a service that can exist in the bush for the long term, Chris said.

Two people had already joined the rural Clean Slate pilot program, Chris said, which is a promising start to the trial.

Further information about the program can be found on the Clean Slate Clinic website.

Weather forces postponement of Trangie’s NAIDOC event

due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

After a COVID postponement, the event was set to be held on September 22, 2022, only to be impacted by the Prime Minister’s sudden announcement of the public holiday for that date following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

“Some of our workshops change each time due to [artist] availability and it must be annoying for them also,” said Terrie Milgate, CEO of the Trangie Local Aboriginal Lands Council.

“We’re hoping nature is a little kinder in November,” she said.

By SHARON BONTHUYS IMPACTED by rain that deemed the track unsuitable for racing, the highly anticipated Qube Dandy Cup Race Day last weekend at Narromine transformed into a social day.

The Narromine race track received 16mm of rain in the 24 hours prior to the event.

Coming just six weeks after the Mungery Picnic Races were also abandoned due to weather, the cancellation of racing at Narromine on October 15 was another devastating blow to rural racing and the communities that plan and run them.

However, event organisers sprang into action to save the day from being completely abandoned and it went ahead as a social day

complete with good food and drink, music and children’s entertainment, fashions on the field, as well as betting and live streamed races including the Everest and Caulfield Cup. The physical racing from the program was moved to Monday, October 17, but stewards from Racing NSW ultimately declared part of the track to be unsafe and the event was postponed.

“Stewards have identified an area of concern near the 100m which is unsuitable for racing,” Racing NSW Stewards announced on social media early that day.

Well done to the organisers for carrying on with the show and providing a much needed social outing for those who attended.

COUNTRY Press NSW Incorporated’s annual conference and awards dinner was successfully re-established in Sydney last week, marking the return of the major event for the fi rst time since the COVID years.

More than 90 regional newspaper representatives, sponsors and guests of honour met at Rydges Sydney Central to celebrate the return of the annual event and to plan for the industry’s needs in 2023.

The event marked the 122nd anniversary of the association, which is the nation’s oldest continuously operating press body, established in 1900.

Major speakers at the conference included Telstra, providing an update of the status of the networks relied on by regional people, and taking questions from country editors over the state of network operations including black spot issues.

Main sponsor, Google News Initiative, led the conference workshops, which this year focused on digital transformation.

Metallurgist Isaac Heath nominated for major mining award

Georgia and Isaac Heath with Isaac’s proud parents Karen and Philip.

By SHARON BONTHUYS

IN just 18 months, stellar work by metallurgical technician Isaac Heath in the graduate program at Alkane’s Tomingley Gold Operations has been rewarded with a move into the role of plant metallurgist and a nomination for a top mining award.

It’s a meteoric rise for the 25-year-old from Dubbo who joined Alkane’s Tomingley Gold Mine as a graduate metallurgist in early 2021. It is Isaac’s fi rst professional role since graduating from the University of NSW in 2020 with a double degree in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering.

When he joined Tomingley Gold’s graduate program in 2021, it was expected that Isaac would spend the next three years gaining experience working in hands-on roles across every part of the processing plant – from the ore crushing circuit and gold recovery through to fi nal pouring of gold bars. However, his excellent performance saw him accelerate through the graduate program, resulting in his promotion to plant metallurgist after just 18 months.

“I defi nitely learned a lot in my fi rst 18 months here. It was a steep learning curve when I started out,” Isaac said.

“Now I’m moving into more of a technical role where I can use my engineering and metallurgy skills that I developed at uni.”

The plant metallurgist is responsible for process stream troubleshooting, providing technical support to operations and maintenance, plant optimisation and metallurgical accounting (e.g. tonnes of ore milled, metal balance, gold recovery etc) to ensure peak performance at Tomingley’s processing plant, which operates 24 hours a day to recover gold from the ore mined onsite. Isaac is also leading some process improvement projects, designed to improve gold recoveries.

Of his role, Isaac said it involves “making sure that we are recovering as much of the gold as possible, and looking at ways to improve the process and extracting more gold. It is interesting work.”

He and the “met team” he works with also provide support to the maintenance and operational teams.

Isaac was one of five fi nalists vying for the NSW Mining Young

Achiever of the Year Award, which was announced on October 13 at the NSW Mining Industry and Suppliers Awards Dinner at Parliament House, Sydney.

While Isaac was not the winner in his category on the night, he was singled out for special mention in his highly competitive category.

It was a very special evening for Isaac, who was joined at the event by his wife Georgia, parents Karen and Philip Heath, senior Alkane and Tomingley Gold Operations staff including the Alkane Chairman Ian Gandel, and Member for the Dubbo electorate and Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW, Dugald Saunders.

“I was excited to hear that I was nominated for the award and that people think the work I have done here is worthy enough to be nominated. It’s encouragement to keep going,” Isaac said.

Some of the reasons why Isaac was nominated for the award by Tomingley Gold Operations included that he has made significant contributions to improving plant operations, including gold recovery which has led to large economic benefits for the company.

Isaac has done this through overcoming a long-standing gold spillage issue in the gold room and developing a maintenance regime for continuous improvement of the plant gravity circuit to improve gold recoveries. He also built the business case to install an onsite water purification unit to eliminate manual handling of 20-litre drums (a significant safety improvement) and supply issues, and swiftly become the resident expert for the operation and trouble-shooting of much of the plant’s equipment.

Outside of work, Isaac enjoys playing football and cricket in the local Dubbo competitions.

His AFL team, the Dubbo Demons, made the finals this year in the central west competition and he also plays for the Newtown Tigers in the Dubbo District Cricket Association competition.

He is also a keen bushwalker, especially in the Blue Mountains.

Congratulations to Isaac on his nomination and we look forward to hearing more about his achievements in the years to come.

Halloween is back in Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS HALLOWEEN fun will be back in Narromine later this month thanks to the efforts of local resident Stacey Brown.

Lifelong resident Stacey is once again coordinating the town’s approach to Halloween celebrations. The careful planning will ensure a safe, fun event for children, while ensuring those residents who do not wish to participate are not bothered unnecessarily.

With just under two weeks to go, Stacey has reached out on social media asking for those households who would like to participate to get in touch.

“I have asked people to inbox me or send me their address. From this I will make up a list and then a map that you can screenshot or print and the kids will have a map to follow on the night,” Stacey said.

As coordinator, Stacey makes up packs for participating households that feature instructions on what to do and balloons to be tied to their front mailboxes. The balloons help guide children to the address where they can safely collect a Halloween treat.

“The balloons are at the houses participating in Halloween and the kids know not to go to any of the other houses,” Stacey said. This is part of the event rules which

are provided to children and their families before Halloween.

Stacey instructs participating households not to put out their balloons until they are ready for children to arrive and to remove them when they are done for the night. Children and their families are told not to approach an address on the list if the balloons are not out.

Although considered a North American activity, Halloween is popular in many parts of Australia. Falling on the last night of October, the traditions behind Halloween are believed to be linked to western Christian observance of All Hallows Day and Celtic harvest festivals. For the kidlets, however, it’s a time to dress up and have some fun.

Stacey said that past efforts by community members to start something regular in Narromine for Halloween previously had not been successful. She and her husband fi rst got involved in those ini-

tial efforts several years ago, decorating their house for the occasion.

“The kids who came were just having the best time.

They were so happy. It was the best night,” she said. The event fi zzled to a halt not long after.

“A few years passed, I had my own children and just decided to start it up again.

I was surprised how many people got involved that fi rst year.”

Stacey started coordinating her fi rst Halloween event back in October 2019 and it ran successfully until 2021, which was cancelled due to COVID restrictions.

“We’re bringing it back this year and I’ve already had a good response,” she said of her appeal on local social media.

The event generally has between 15 and 20 houses participating and Stacey hopes to beat that number this year.

The early evening event runs for 90 minutes and participating households can expect the unexpected as children in colourful costumes make their way between the houses listed on their event map, escorted by adult family or carers.

This year’s Halloween drive is expected to run between 5.00 pm and 6.30pm.

Further information can be obtained from Halloween in Narromine on social media.

CWA charts a new course From page 1

AT its AGM on October 10, the Narromine branch returned Jean Richardson as president, Carolyn Egan as secretary and Lyn Newton as treasurer.

The president’s report reflected on the achievements of the branch through the year, including the sale of the CWA Rooms to a local allied health provider, successful events such as the Friendship Afternoon Tea and International Day Celebration, as well as delegates attending the State Conference and Group Council meetings at Cobar and Bourke.

The successful public speaking competition for school students was also a highlight, with three students from the local competition progressing further in that competition. Members prepared displays at the Narromine Show for CWA Awareness Week and the CWA NSW centenary celebration last month featuring significant memorabilia.

Member Mary Morris also celebrated 50 years’ membership this year and was presented with a special badge marking this incredible milestone.

“The CWA is defi nitely more than just scones,” Jean said with a smile.

Gin Gin Book Swap to welcome author Chris Hammer to Collie

The Coast (2012). He holds a journalism degree from Charles Sturt University and a master’s in international relations from the Australian National University.

By SHARON BONTHUYS PROLIFIC author and leading Australian author of crime fiction, Chris Hammer, will visit the village of Collie for an author talk and morning tea hosted by Narromine dhire’s own Gin Gin Book Swap.

Collie resident and ABC Western Plains journalist Jen McCutcheon will interview Mr Hammer at the CWA Hall about his latest novel, The Tilt, which was released on October 5.

Belinda Haigh and Amanda Kater from the Gin Gin Book Swap are excited about the inclusion of Collie on publisher Allen and Unwin’s promotional tour for The Tilt, and the opportunity to welcome Chris Hammer to central west NSW. “One of our members had heard Chris speak and so our Book Swap group asked the publisher if Chris could include this area in his promotional tour for his book that was released last year,” Belinda said.

That tour for Mr Hammer’s novel Treasure and Dirt was sadly cancelled due to COVID restrictions.

“We picked Collie for this visit because it’s a small town central to our book swap area,” she said.

The “Book Swap Bookworms” as they are affectionately called live in Narromine, Trangie, Dubbo, Collie, Warren, Gilgandra, and Gulargambone.

The book swap idea developed just before the onset of COVID, said Belinda who lives near Trangie.

“We have a book swap in the flood mailbox that is being used for its original purpose at the moment. Out of that grew a few of us saying it’s great to have some books available.

“A few of us get together every month or every six weeks to talk about good books we’ve read. We try to pick a book for the month or the session and have a discussion. We can share the fabu-

So what can attendees expect at the forthcoming chat with Chris Hammer?

“Chris skilfully draws us in with a landscape centred on a river and forest, plenty of atmospheric moments and colourful characters,” said Belinda about The Tilt.

“We will fi nd out about Chris’s process in writing fi rst non-fiction and now popular fiction books, including his latest book, how he chooses his locations and develops his characters, and so much more.

“Gin Gin Book Swap Bookworms are putting together a few searching questions for Chris, and the audience will have a chance to ask their own questions of Chris,” Belinda said.

The paid, ticketed event provides attendees with a signed copy of The Tilt provided through Dubbo’s independent bookstore, The Book Connection, and a delicious morning tea prepared by the Collie Country Women’s Association.

The Book Swap Bookworms decided that Collie was the place to host the author talk.

“We thought that was a lovely central spot and it’s good to support the small towns, especially when they’ve had a tough time,” Belinda said.

“Collie is on the map!”

Excitement is building as the event approaches and the Bookworms look forward to welcoming Chris Hammer to Collie.

His novel The Tilt follows on from last year’s Treasure and Dirt which was set in a ficti-

tious north-west NSW mining town. The Tilt starts out with “a man running for his life in a forest, a woman planning sabotage, and a body being unearthed,” Belinda said.

Young homicide detective Nell Buchanan returns to her home district along the Murray to solve a murder, which turns into a chain of escalating events. Of course, as in all good crime fiction, there is a price to pay for fi nding the truth.

If you haven’t heard of Chris Hammer, his fi rst novel, Scrublands, published in 2018, won the prestigious UK Crime

Writers Association John Creasey New Blood Dagger Award for a debut crime novel in 2019 and was shortlisted for various awards in Australia and the United States.

Scrublands has been sold into translation in several foreign languages and is being developed for television. His follow up books Silver (2019), Trust (2020) and Treasure and Dirt (2021) are also bestsellers and all have been shortlisted for major literary prizes.

The former journalist has also written two non-fiction books, The River (2010) and

With Belinda and Amanda watching the weather, they hope conditions will be fine for Mr Hammer’s visit to Collie.

Scheduled tour stops in Shepparton, Castlemaine, Ballarat and Bendigo have had to be cancelled due to the horrendous weather and flooding in Victoria over the last week.

Should bad weather impact travel to Collie, the event will be moved to Trangie, Belinda said. She will contact those who have booked a ticket if the event needs to relocate. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t.

Political News & Opinion Methane emissions pledge concerning

COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP

LAST week we learnt that the Labor Government plans on signing up to the Global Methane Pledge at next month’s UN COP27 climate change conference in Egypt.

The pledge calls for a 30 per cent global reduction in methane emissions by 2030, which the Coalition does not support as it goes against the agriculture sector’s desire to grow to $100 billion by 2030.

Half of Australia’s annual methane emissions come from the agricultural sector, where no affordable, practical and large-scale way exists to reduce it other than culling herd sizes.

There is significant research happening with asparagopsis, a native Australian seaweed which is touted to reduce methane emissions when fed to cattle and sheep. I can see the benefit of using asparagopsis in a diary or a feedlot, however, the majority of Australian cattle are running freerange on large areas of land, so delivering feed supplements would be impossible.

As someone who has been involved in the cattle industry my entire life, I understand that sometimes implementing ideologically driven programs may be difficult in practice.

I’m very cautious about the possible tax on productivity, which will do nothing to improve emissions. We need to be careful that this pledge is not the thin end of the wedge – it’s a very small step to having a legislative target. I urge the Labor Government to rule out a methane tax, giving farmers confidence that they won’t follow New Zealand’s lead.

Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Coalition funding benefitting the North West LAST week it was great to get out to Moree, Lightning Ridge, Goodooga, Brewarrina and Bourke to inspect various projects that were funded by the former Coalition Government.

The Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program is continuing to make a difference. In Bourke, I inspected the progress on the upgrades happening at Bourke Memorial Swimming Pool to construct a new learn to swim pool and upgrade the kiosk.

Moree Plains Shire Council has also been busy with the redevelopment of the Moree Memorial Hall. Once complete, the renovated hall will be a wonderful venue for concerts, performances and events.

It was also fantastic to see that the Goodooga Community Store is now open, providing locals and visitors with access to fresh food and general supplies.

The now complete Mitchell Highway upgrade between Nyngan and Bourke has also made this stretch of road much safer for all road users.

This year’s theme ‘Millions of Reasons to Care!’ is a testament to the hours carers in our region put in.

Amanda is off to Brazil!

Amanda Wicks will be an exchange student in 2023.

The group of 15 students who will travel overseas as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program in 2023.

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE High School student Amanda Wicks will spend 2023 exploring a new country and a new language when she jets off to Brazil in January as a Rotary Youth Exchange student.

Fifteen-year-old Amanda is one of 15 NSW students heading off overseas next year as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, which operates in over 100 countries.

Her destination is Penápolis, a municipality within the state of São Paulo in south-east Brazil. Over the course of the year, Amanda will spend time with four host families in the municipality who are part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, and will attend school locally.

The year 10 student is very excited about the forthcoming trip, which will be her fi rst overseas trip.

“I’ve never been overseas

and I thought it would be something new and different to do to experience another culture,” she said.

The fi rst time international traveller admits she is a bit worried about how she will go being away from home, immersed in a new culture and learning a new language.

“I think it’s just worrying if people won’t accept me and if I can’t learn the language,” she said.

Those fears are common among young people heading off on youth exchanges, said another former Rotary Youth Exchange student from Narromine, Frances Sinclair, who went to the USA in 2017.

“With some of the other kids who went away with me [the experience was] as soon as you’re in that environment, as long as you have the basics with you it will just f low within the first three months you’re there,” Frances said about

learning another language. “[Amanda] can expect a lot of great experiences to come and global friends. It’s an incredible experience – 100 per cent,” she said.

Amanda will head off on her new adventure just before the start of the new school year when her parents and friends will farewell her at Dubbo airport.

“In Sydney I will join up with the other exchange students who are going overseas with me,” Amanda said.

She had the opportunity to meet the other 14 students during a program briefi ng in Forster earlier this year after being selected for the program.

Four of them will join Amanda in travelling to Brazil. The other ten will travel to Mexico, Japan, Germany and Denmark for their year abroad.

While they are away, the students will send regular reports back to their sponsoring Rotary Clubs.

Shakespeare FUNERALS DUBBO

“I will be in touch with my fi rst host family and Brazilian Rotary before I go,” Amanda said.

While it certainly is an exciting opportunity, the exchange program is not free. Students are responsible for funding their own travel costs and documents, insurance and spending money during the year away.

Narromine Rotary Club has made a donation to Amanda to help with these costs, using funds raised from the contents of its three can recycling cages in the local community.

“We’re very appreciative of this donation. The support from Rotary and the community is really helping me with this trip,” Amanda said.

Narromine Rotary Club president Jan Colmer said the club was thrilled to support another local student to participate in the Youth Exchange program.

“The last two students we

supported from this area, from Narromine and Peak Hill, their world view was just so different on their return,” Jan said.

“We’re really keen to support this opportunity, especially when we can see that the student is going to do what it takes to get there.”

To help with the rest of the costs of the exchange program, Amanda’s family will host a Brazilian-themed fundraising event later this month at the Narromine Hotel. An entry fee will apply to the family-friendly event and patrons will be able to further support the event through raffles and a 100 Club on the day.

“It’s a muso day. Anyone who wants to come along and sing or play an instrument, they can do that,” Amanda said.

For further details about the fundraising day, see classifieds.

More Moorambilla Magic: Shire students to sing in Sydney

By SHARON BONTHUYS

More Moorambilla magic, this time in Sydney for a smaller group including two shire students.

PHOTO: NONI CARROLL PHOTOGRAPHY.

TWO students from the Narromine Shire who performed in the incredible Moorambilla Voices project last month will perform a selection of songs from the gala concert on the steps of the Sydney Opera House later this month.

Year five student Eddie Irons from Narromine and year three student Mylee Bond from Trangie will perform with a smaller group of Moorambilla Voices students at a special event celebrating the Opera House’s 50th anniversary.

Running from October 20-30 and showcasing the talents of a diverse range of community choirs and ensembles, From the Steps: Voices at Dusk will be curated by resident company Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ Artistic Director Brett Weymark OAM. The Moorambilla Voices team will get their chance to sing on the Monumental Steps at the Opera House on October 29.

Moorambilla spokesperson Jacob Williams told the Narromine Star the group will perform a repertoire of five songs from the gala concert.

What a wonderful experience for Eddie, Mylee and their families.

Bone and Beauty author talks about central west convicts who became bushrangers

By SHARON BONTHUYS HAVE you heard about the Ribbon Boys and their exploits in central west NSW in 1830? If not, you might want to get along to the Narromine or Dubbo Libraries next week to hear visiting Tasmanian author Jeanette M Thompson discuss her novel, Bone and Beauty.

The culmination of eight years of research and another four years of writing for Jeanette’s Doctorate in Creative Arts, the book published by the University of Queensland Press takes its title from a quote from famed bushranger Ned Kelly’s Jerilderie letter.

The historical event was something the children’s literature lecturer and family history tutor had stumbled upon during a trip to Bathurst which caught her interest, leading her down a research path that saw the original plan to write a children’s story shelved in pursuit of an adult novel blending fact with fiction. “[In the Jerilderie letter, Ned Kelly] said he went on this murderous career because he was defending the Irishmen.

All the young Irish, ‘bone and beauty’ who came out here in servile chains and died,” Jeanette told the Narromine Star.

“The title is also a kind of metaphor for what creative nonfiction is. The bones are the facts and the beauty is the voices and the spirit of the people involved in those facts,” she said.

Jeanette’s story weaves historical facts about the event known as the Bathurst Rebellion with fiction, which gives a voice to the characters involved.

Led by convict Ralph En-

twistle, who had been transported to Australia in 1827 and put to work as a labourer, historical accounts of the rebellion indicate it reportedly started when Entwistle and another convict were publicly lashed for skinny dipping in the Macquarie-Wambuul River as Governor Ralph Darling drove by in November 1829.

Within a year he had escaped his servitude and turned to bushranging, encouraging other convicts to join him. At its peak, the gang known as the Ribbon Boys had about 80 members. Jeanette investigated this in her research for her book.

“The history was written by a magistrate who hunted [Ralph] down, about forty years after the event. The other version was written by a surgeon’s wife who wasn’t actually in the colony so it was hearsay.

“Ralph was identified as the leader and they said he was flogged, he boiled with rage, took revenge and was hanged.

“The reason the convicts called them the Ribbon Boys was because the Ribbonmen [secret society movement] in Ireland symbolised their leader with ribbons in his hat. The convicts knew this and that’s one whole aspect of the story that no one ever investigated.

Why were they Ribbonmen and how did they operate?” she said.

This led Jeanette to do extensive research into Irish secret societies in the colony and she discovered that lots of those men who were hanged alongside Ralph had Irish connections and also with the Wild Colonial Boy, Jack Donahue/Doolan/Dolan (or other surname by which he may have been known).

When Jeanette spoke to the Narromine Star she was attending an oral history conference in Tasmania where she had met two people from Dubbo who she was looking forward to catching up with while visiting the region.

Reimbursement now available for beekeepers in surveillance zones REGISTERED commercial beekeepers impacted by Varroa mite in the surveillance (purple) zones are now eligible for reimbursement payments under the agreed National Response Plan.

Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said the NSW Government recognises that despite not needing to have hives euthanised like those in the eradication (red) zones, beekeepers in surveillance zones have also been adversely fi nancially impacted by the Varroa mite response.

“When we fi rst saw an incursion of the Varroa mite in NSW, we immediately initiated a hive stand still for beekeepers in the eradication and surveillance zones,” Mr Saunders said.

“This means that commercial beekeepers have been unable to move their hives to other parts of the state to take part in pollination activities, which has greatly impacted the business operations of many.

“The NSW Government has worked closely with the Australian Honey Bee Industry Council to develop a framework for reimbursement that has been endorsed by all governments and industry parties.

“We understand that the payments will not cover the full costs incurred, but will give commercial beekeepers options.”

Australian Honey Bee Industry Council CEO Danny Le Feuvre said his group has been working hard with the government and other key stakeholders to ensure the reimbursement for purple zone commercial beekeepers.

“This shows how progress in the response

can start to allow more options for commercial beekeepers,” Mr Le Feuvre said.

The limited Owner Reimbursement Costs offers eligible registered commercial beekeepers two options for one-off payments: f Commercial beekeepers can choose to euthanise their existing hives and receive reimbursement of $290 per standard hive to re-establish new hives outside of the purple zones; or, f They can choose to not euthanise their hives and instead receive a one-off loss-of income reimbursement of $117 per standard hive.

Commercial registered beekeepers in the surveillance zone will be contacted directly with more information on how to apply. Eligible applicants must be a registered commercial beekeeper with the Department of Primary Industries (DPI), have been impacted as a direct result of the Varroa mite emergency response and meet other criteria as outlined in the program guidelines.

The reimbursement package comes at the same time as the relaxing of some restrictions in NSW, with a change to the movement options for recreational beekeepers in the blue zone.

“Blue zone recreational beekeepers can now move hives and bees in that low-risk area of NSW in line with commercial beekeepers in the same zone, which will enable people to set up hives, or move locations,” Mr Saunders said.

More information and the latest updates on Varroa mites visit the DPI website.

Narromine’s 25 Club heads into a new year Giraffic jam: fourth Contributed by VERENA WRIGHT

TARONGA Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo has been delivered a tall order with two giraffe calves born into the breeding herd just one day apart early last week.

The two new additions join 16-week-old and 11-week-old giraffe calves, Matata and Wayo, bringing the breeding herd size up to an incredible 13 individuals.

“The newcomers are a very welcome addition in an unbelievable breeding season with four calves born in the last four months,” said giraffe keeper Glyn Avery.

On the morning of October 4, giraffe keepers arrived to start the day and spotted the third calf born into the breeding herd this year. The calf was standing on wobbly legs in the grass paddock, bathing in the morning sun, and suckling from experienced mother, Mvita.

The fourth calf was born at midday the very next day, Octo-

members prepared, plated up and put out over 200 morning teas in the Aero Club for the T-Model-Ford enthusiasts who had a stop-over for a few hours at the aerodrome before continuing on to Trangie for lunch.

While partaking of morning tea, a number of people took the opportunity to visit the Aviation Museum. The morning was a great success, it was also a great spectacle to see so many treasured vehicles together in one place.

Four-year-old cow, Niyah, started having contractions just prior to 10am, with the front hooves of the calf soon making an appearance.

Many delighted school holiday visitors braved the rain over the next few hours to witness the once-in-a-life-time experience.

“Whilst our giraffe breeding program has bred over 50 calves in the history of the program, it is a very rare sight for both keepers and guests alike to witness a birth from start to fi nish.

Giraffes mostly give birth overnight or in the very early hours of the day, especially during heightened weather events, so this birth has been particularly special for all,” said Glyn.

“It is such a humbling experience to witness the birth of our world’s tallest mammal,” said Zoo Director Steve Hinks, who joined guests in the rain to observe the incredible birth.

High winds and weather play havoc with floral tributes at cemeteries

By SHARON BONTHUYS ONE of the downsides of the recent bad weather has been the impact on some of the floral tributes at Narromine and Trangie cemeteries.

Floral tributes have been dislodged from some holders and some vases have been overturned, strewing the tributes across and between graves in both locations. The situation is more noticeable at Narromine than at Trangie cemetery.

In some locations, it is difficult to determine which floral tributes might belong to particular graves.

Only a small number of graves appeared to be impacted at both cemeteries at the time of our visit on October 13, which experienced high winds through the day.

If you have loved ones interred at either cemetery, you may want to stop by to see if their floral tributes and vases have been disturbed by the weather.

Be mindful that magpies may be active in and around the cemeteries at present.

Council consults on removing kurrajong trees from Narromine cemetery

barium (ANH) and Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG).

Growing to a heigh of between five and 15 metres, the water gum “occurs naturally on moist, well-drained sites along the east coast of Australia, from the Brisbane River in Queensland, through coastal New South Wales to the Gippsland region of Victoria.

It is commonly found growing along creek banks and in rainforest openings in light shade to full sunlight,” the CANBR site says.

“This tree grows well in cultivation and tolerates a variety of soil types from well-drained rocky soils to heavy clay loams, provided ample water is available. Being a small rainforest tree, it will tolerate light shade, though growth is more rapid in full sun,” the site says.

The frost tolerance of the water gum varies depending on climate and may be targeted by “scale insects.”

By SHARON BONTHUYS AT its meeting on September 14, 2022, Narromine Shire Council resolved to undertake a public consultation process to determine the future of the kurrajong trees at the Narromine Cemetery.

Residents now have until November 8 to make a written submission to Council on its proposal to replace the kurrajongs with water gums.

The Infrastructure and Engineering Services report tabled at the Council meeting on September 14 states: “currently the existing kurrajong trees are unsightly, not in a proper tree avenue and could pose a threat to nearby graves and roads due to its root system.

“Water gums have been planted at the Trangie Cemetery since the previous trees experienced irrecoverable stress due to the previous drought.”

The Council report suggests that the removal of the 34 kurrajongs could cost “in the order of $34,000”, however, this amount may increase if other trees such as Jacarandas or palms are also identified for removal.

The report also says that “the cost of planting a water gum could be in the order of $9,000 (which includes tree purchase plus planting),” but it is unclear how many water gums may be planted to replace the kurrajongs.

The cost of the removal and replacement exercise will be determined after the public exhibition, the report says.

Risk management issues outlined in the report indicate a qualified contractor would remove the trees to prevent damage to gravesites, and that council will determine if there is “significant value (cultural/ sentimental etc)” attached to the trees. The report, which is publicly available on the Council website with other documents from the September 14 meeting, suggests “if existing kurrajong trees are left, [they]

Expanding roots are one of the issues caused by some trees at the Narromine cemetery.

could cause further damage to roads and graves.”

On October 13, Narromine Shire Council indicated that the trees have been inspected and are considered to pose a threat to nearby graves and infrastructure.

General Manager Jane Redden said the trees are likely to become increasingly hazardous to gravesites if left unattended.

“Narromine Cemetery has suffered to a point where the kurrajong trees are a significant risk to the roads and pathways and will become hazardous to visitors if left unattended.

“The Narromine Cemetery has many visitors and it is important for the Council to maintain safe access. It is proposed that the kurrajong trees will be replaced with water gums (Tristaniopsis laurina),” Ms Redden said.

“Water Gums are a suitable compact tree and will preserve the appearance of the cemetery,” added Mrs Redden.

Further information about how to make a submission is available on the Council website or by calling the Council.

What is the heritage value of kurrajongs?

Narromine has had a long history with kurrajongs. News reports dating back to 1917 kindly sourced by local historians Bob and Norma Meadley indicate kurrajongs were planted around the town since at least 1909.

An avenue of trees honouring enlisted soldiers in the First World War was planted along Dandaloo Street in Narromine after 1917. The trees on the northern side of the railway line were removed by the

NSW government in 1934-35 for road improvements, and in 2018 those on the southern side were removed and replaced with Manchurian pear trees

by Narromine Shire Council as part of a street enhancement program.

Half a dozen kurrajongs were also gifted by the then Forestry Department in Dubbo in 1932 which were planted in Dundas Park, according to a media report from the time.

Facts about water gums Also known as the kanooka, water gums (Tristaniopsis laurina) belong to the Myrtaceae family and are related to eucalypts, according to information available from the Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research (CANBR), Australian National Her-

Facts about kurrajongs

Kurrajongs (Brachychiton populneus) are native to eastern Australia from Victoria to north Queensland, including the semi-arid inland, and generally tolerate dry conditions and are easy to propagate according to the CANBR site.

The kurrajong “inhabits various well-drained soil types, often occurring amongst rocky outcrops of granite or limestone and also thriving on deeper soils in some areas,” the site says.

Widely used as shade trees in urban and rural areas, the slow-growing trees are fairly stout.

The site notes that “kurrajongs may cause nuisance from their large woody fruit, deep roots that clog drains and potential for escape into native vegetation.” Several sub-species exist.

Little Athletics off and running

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Little Athletics season is now off and running in Narromine thanks to the small, dedicated group of parents and carers who make it possible.

The fi rst training session of the season was held last Thursday at Payten Oval and featured programs for Tiny Tots and children from five to 17 years.

There was also keen interest in the new “social athletics” program for adults that is also available now at Narromine, which is an initiative of Little Athletics NSW. President of Narromine Little Athletics, Tanya Harding, said numbers were down at the fi rst training session due to weather conditions but she hoped to see more children come on board now school holidays are over and daylight saving is in full swing again.

A lot of work has gone into the preparation of Payten Oval for athletics, so participants in the program will compete at well maintained facilities over the summer.

Keiley Noble has volunteered to run the Tiny Tots program for children under five years. She had a small group of tots last Thursday who enjoyed their running races during our visit. Tiny Tots do not compete like the older children, but rather play games and activities designed to develop their gross motor skills.

Narromine Little Athletics club is one of about 200 such clubs operating across NSW, combining family, fun and fitness for approximately 40,000 children.

For more information about Narromine Little Athletics, follow the club on social media.

A story within a story: When league and union were in the Astley Cup

sociation on July 23, 1946.

Two of the stars of the 1946 Dubbo High School Football Team, John Vincent and Bryan Palmer Jnr, would later become NSW rugby union representatives. Bryan Palmer Jnr in May 1950, and John Vincent in July 1952.

In recent years, boys and girls’ soccer have been added to boys rugby league as the football codes that are played in the Astley Cup. Other sports including tennis, hockey, basketball, karate, netball and athletics are also part of the modern Astley Cup.

Contributed by PATRICK BOURKE WHEN the Astley Cup started in 1923 there was 13 players in each of the football teams in 1923 and 15 players in 1925, as reported in newspapers at the time. The 1923 game was rugby league and the 1925 game was rugby union.

According to lists of players that were in the Astley Cup football teams, published in the local newspapers in the early years, it looks like rugby league was the usual football code played in the cup as the team lists numbered 13 players.

Newspaper reports from the time suggest that in the early 1930s there was a push by the rugby union groups to have union as the football code in the Astley Cup. On April 13, 1932, the Dubbo Dispatch and Wellington Independent reported the visit to Dubbo by Jack Ford, an Australian rugby union international player, to give a lecture to Dubbo High School students about rugby union.

It was believed that in 1932 rugby union would be the football code played in the Astley Cup as both Bathurst High School and Orange High School had strong rugby union teams. The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (DLMA) reported on March 22, 1934, that Dubbo High School was urged to follow Bathurst and Orange high schools and make rugby union the football code played at the school as it was the code played in the Astley Cup. From the local newspapers of the time it appears that rugby union was the code played in the 1934 Astley Cup. It was reported in the Sydney newspapers in July 1934 that the ex-Australian international rugby player, Bryan Palmer, who was coaching in Sydney, would leave Sydney to go to Dubbo, after the death of his father. In March 1935, Bryan Palmer became the President of the Dubbo Rugby Union. It was stated in DLMA on March 14, 1935, that Mr Palmer would “throw this weight behind the code” in Dubbo.

That same year, Dubbo High School adopted rugby union as their school’s football code.

In 1936 Dubbo High School again adopted the rugby union code during the football season for house and inter-school matches. The main reason given for the decision to adhere to union was that Bathurst and Orange high schools, who took part in the Astley Cup with Dubbo High, played rugby union as their school’s football code. Dubbo had to be governed by the majority of the schools in the Astley Cup. In 1935 rugby union was the football code played in the Ast-

However, in 1935 the Orange Rugby League was not happy with rugby union being “forced on the juniors competing in the Astley Cup” and they wrote to the Dubbo Rugby League requesting that Mr Astley, the donor, be interviewed re the rules of the Astley Cup. At the Dubbo League’s meeting it was pointed out that the code of football was decided by the majority of the towns competing and both Bathurst and Dubbo agreed to union in preference to league that season. At the Dubbo league meeting a motion was carried instructing Dubbo League to interview Mr Astley, the donor of the cup, on this subject.

In July 1938 the New Zea-

land All Blacks rugby team visited Dubbo. Bryan Palmer, who completed his Intermediate Certificate at the Dubbo District School then went to Newington College as a boarder (1915-16), took the All Blacks rugby team to Dubbo High.

The students welcomed the All Blacks rugby team players with their school’s war cry and the All Blacks replied with the Maori haka.

It is interesting to read in the DLMA on December 19, 1944, that the NSW Rugby Union was a Dubbo High School benefactor, donating 16 pounds to the school in 1944.

In 1945 Clive ‘Nip’ Ward was appointed to Dubbo High School as a Mathematics teacher and he remained at the school until 1951. During this time, Mr Ward would also be the sportsmaster at Dubbo

High.

A keen sportsman, Mr Ward was a very strong supporter of rugby league, having been a fi rst-grade player in Sydney and administrator. In the country, he refereed rugby league matches in Groups 11 and 20. With the support of Mr Ron Learmouth of Bathurst, Mr Ward was able to have rugby union replaced by rugby league as the football code in the Astley Cup. So rugby league returned to the Astley Cup in 1946 as reported in the DLMA on July 13, 1946. By that time, Bryan Palmer was the state organiser for the NSW Farmers and Settlers’ Association and would have been busy moving around the state motivating members and recruiting new members. He gave a stirring speech at the Leeton Branch of the Farmers and Settlers’ As-

Sport

Gerries golf: Kearines wins first round of summer comp Contributed by NORM LEWIS ON Saturday morning, 11 golfers turned up for the fi rst round of the Gerries’ summer competition. It was a pleasure to be back on the course on such a pleasant morning following the recent rain.

Considering the break from competition golf, the scores recorded were really good with hot competition for the major prize.

The fi rst player to be called to the podium for the new season was Greg Kearines with a score of 23 stableford points. Greg won by one point from Vince Ferrari and Jamie Roberts, both on 22. Jamie won the countback for second place.

Three players, Bob Richardson, Gus Smith and John Butcher tied on 12 points for the popular NAGA prize. The count back was called in to decide the winner, and it was John Butcher.

There was no NTP winner so the prize jackpots to next week.

It was then over to the Pool table where Greg Kearines and Chris Harding were drawn to play Bob Fletcher and Terry Willis. Kearines was eager to win the fi rst double of the new season but unfortunately it was not to be. “Fletch” was in top form and went on to dispose of the black ball to give him and Terry the title of pool champs for the week. Bad luck, “Kearo”, but you did at least get your photo in the Narromine Star!

In all, a pleasant morning and we all hope the fi ne weather continues.

This Saturday, the Gerries’ will tee off on the back nine as the ladies will join the comp and they will be hitting off on the front nine. Check with the club for tee-off times.

T hat’s it for another week. See you a l l on the tee.

Gerries comp winner this week, Greg Kearines.

Pool champs for the week, Terry Willis and Bob Fletcher.

Narromine Bowls news: Nyngan take the win Contributed by RICK BOHM

Nyngan Team of Baden Powell and Justin Bartlett won the zone pairs championship at Narromine last weekend. PHOTOS: RICK BOHM.

Narromine Team of Bruce Maher and James “Bopper” Daley were runners up.

ANOTHER interesting week of bowls with the Zone Pairs Championships hosted at Narromine to entertain the window tappers last Saturday. A couple of our local teams certainly were to the forefront at close of play.

As fate would have it, our winning combination of Bruce Maher and “Bopper” Daley were forced to line up against fellow teammates Ray Anthony and Steve Buttsworth in Sunday morning’s semi-fi nal. Bruce and Bopper got the win and advanced to the fi nal.

Their opponents on the other side of the draw were undefeated going into the fi nal and it looked like we were in for an interesting clash with Baden Powell and Justin Bartlett in fi ne form also.

Well I’d like to say it was a good match, and indeed after 10 ends only 12 shots had been scored with both teams still close, but after the Fremantle Doctor, along with Doctor Toohey, our

boys fell off the rails.

I hope they learn from this endeavour as not very often do you get the chance to go to a state finals series, and that privilege and honour will go to the Nyngan boys if they win their next match in the upcoming zone playoffs.

Meanwhile in the Open Pairs our duo of Robbie Stanford and Ben Clark were eliminated via the Margin system. After three rounds of sectional play where three teams in their section had recorded two wins, they had an inferior winning margin to the team that moved on.

So again another zone championship has been played and again we have come up empty. Here’s hoping our intrepid Triples trio of Ray Anthony, Danny Carnevale and Steve Buttsworth can go one further step when they compete in the Zone Senior Triples Championships this weekend and who knows: a little bit of local knowledge might be the difference. We wait in anticipation.

Social Bowls this week

saw a couple of Trangie boys join with Silky in a smash and grab raid to claim top spot on the podium. Worthy runners up were the trio of Richard Hyde, Kane Adams and Steve Buttsworth.

Sunday saw a couple of rinks of triples take to the greens with Ross Wallace, Kerry Martin and David McNair awarded the Top Dog prize for their efforts.

Nominations are now being called for the Consistency Singles which kicks off in early November.

Trivia is on again next week if you have a hankering. Check the details with the club or St Augustine’s Parish school.

And fi nally, on a sombre note, champion bowler and mentor to many of our playing stocks past and present, Robert French, is doing it a bit “tuff ” at the moment. He is a champion and he will get through this.

Well that’s it for me for another week. Let’s hope for more spring weather and pleasant days on the Narromine Bowling Club greens.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES FROM her Dubbo stables, Connie Greig is likely to provide half the field for the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final on Sunday at the Coonabarabran Cup meeting. Greig was the leading trainer over the Picnic circuit while Sydney based Leandro Ribeiro won the jockeys title, the bulk of his winners being for the Dubbo trainer.

Brazilian born Ribeiro will probably have fi rst choice of the Greig trained runners which could be a good lead for punters although all her team have been good performers over the circuit. Possible favourite will be the Gavin Groth, Gunnedah trained nine-year-old gelding Danspur

Picnic final moved to Coonabarabran which failed to gain a start as an emergency for the 2021 Final.

Over the latter part of the 2022 circuit, Danspur won the Mallawa Picnic Cup and Wean Picnic Cup and with other placings fi nished as the top qualifier. Following the postponed Coonamble Cup meeting last Sunday being transferred to Dubbo on Wednesday the scheduled Picnic Final was switched to Coonabarabran on Sunday.

Unlike the professional jockeys, many of the Picnic riders have full time employment outside racing and fi nd it difficult and costly to take time off work on weekdays. The popular Coonabarabran Club will host a Showcase meeting with $30,000 minimum prizemoney per race while the 1600 metres Coonabarabran Cup has $75,000 prizemoney and $1,000 trophies.

Naturally, all those involved with racing in Coonamble were extremely disappointed to have the Cup meeting washed out however they put that aside to give great support for the transfer to Dubbo.

A good number of Coonamble committee members accompanied by race sponsors were trackside to present trophies for each race and appreciated the hospitality from Dubbo Turf Club.

Raced on a remarkably good surface (Soft seven) after heavy rain during the week, the $75,000 Geronimo, and New Holland Ag Big Dance Eligible Coonamble Gold Cup (1600 metres) was won by the Anthony Cummings, Randwick trained Caesars Palace.

Philipsburg (Koby Jennings, $4.40 equal favourite) from the James Ponsonby stable at The Oaks, hit the front in the straight but was overhauled

and beaten two lengths by the other equal favourite Caesars Palace ridden by Aaron Bullock.

Gallant 10-year-old A Magic Zariz (Clayton Gallagher, $7) trained at Dubbo by Brett Robb came home well for third while the Peter W Stanley, Wellington trained The Long Run (Ashleigh Stanley, $61) held on gamely for fourth after setting the pace. Black gelding Dalavin (Clayton Gallagher, $2.35 favourite) made it five straight wins when leading most of the way to account for Foreign Brother (Matthew Palmer, $7.50) and Larynx (Bailey Wheeler, $11) in the 1200 metres Keady Family Crystal Sprint.

Trained by Brett Robb for Greg O’Mally and his mother Maida O’Mally of Narromine and formerly from Bourke, Dalavin has now built the imposing record of eight wins and

three placings from 15 starts.

With three wins from the past five starts, the Connie Greig trained Deel Street is in great form and it was another impressive performance in the 1600 metres Nalder Family Class three Handicap.

Again, ridden with commendable patience by apprentice Anna Roper, Deel Street came from last with a powerful run to beat Mr Severino (Grant Buckley, $8) and Golden Eclipse (Angela Cooper, $31). Hosted by the Coonamble Club since the Baradine Club ceased holding meetings, the 1400 metres Futurity Pastoral Company Baradine Cup (Benchmark 66 Handicap) saw the Mack Griffith, Mudgee trained Amicus Curiae (Koby Jennings, $3.80) leading most of the way when winning from Eva’s Deel (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $19) and Petain (Tony Cavallo, $8).

Good fields for weekend golf

The Gray Gonads won the team event – Steve Barlow, Gery Daly and Robert Handsaker.

Bill Gibbs was highest scorer on the day.

Contributed by NORM LEWIS THE weather was good and the golfers were out in force for weekend golf activities. Saturday saw a field of 20 players line up for the October monthly medal competition. The course has stood up well to the conditions and our volunteers have done a great job getting it ready for play.

The winner of the A Grade monthly medal was Greg Barling (71) from Mitch Smith (72). The B Grade medal went to Henry Buttsworth (71) from Greg Kearines (72). The NTP on the 17th went to Steve Gillette, while there was no winner on the 18th. The Long Drive on the eighth went to Tony Harding.

On Sunday, the event was a two-person Shambles which also attracted a field of 20 players. Don’t ask me what a “Shambles” is ‘cause I’m not sure. Winners of the 18-hole event were Luke and Matt Brown with a total of 81 points. Runners up were Craig Chapman and Jeremy Brown with 75 points. A good day for the Brown brothers.

The NTP on the 17th went to Peter Gainsford with no winner on the 18th, but the Long Drive went to Duanne Mann.

Members are hoping the weather holds with two stablefords to be held over the weekend. The Annual Mixed Foursomes Championships over 36 holes has been rescheduled to the end of the month.

The Junior clinic conducted by Gary Begg of NSW Golf was held last Sunday morning and attracted a very good line up of prospective golfers. Well done to the Juniors and thanks to NSW Golf for their help. The Junior Clinic will be held as usual this weekend.

The Veterans played their last nine-hole comp for the year last Saturday in conjunction with the Medal round. Play was on the back nine and the winner was Greg Kearines (21) from Greg Barling (17) on a count back.

Mal McIntyre won the NTP on the tenth hole.

The very popular Business House competition started last Wednesday with 62 players representing 11 teams taking part. The winning team on the day was the Grey Gonads team with a score of 17.5. They defeated the Phantoms on 15.75 to lead the comp after the fi rst round.

The result of all matches and the competition table is on the Notice Board in the Clubhouse. The days top five players were B. Gibbs (21), M. Coen (20), S. White (19), G. Smyth (19), and G. Daly (18).

The NTP winners were S. Crawford (third), G. Barling (ninth), A. Harmer (tenth), and there was no winner on the 17th. Long Drives on the fourth were won by R. Burns (Men’s), and R. Reynolds (Ladies). On the 16th, N. Attwater (Men’s) and V. Gainsford (Ladies).

That’s all for this week. See you all at the 19th.

Motocross kids go to the nationals Contributed by LUKE HARDING THE last week of September was the fi rst week of school holidays and with it five long days of motocross in Rockhampton, Queensland, for the Australian Junior Motocross Championship.

Unfortunately, Stella Harding was unable to race as she still wasn’t fit enough to pass a medical to ride due to her broken arm sustained six weeks prior at the same track in Rockhampton.

As for Will and Ollie Cale, they had their eyes set on their fi rst ever junior national race.

Day One saw practice and qualifying on the highly demanding sand track at Rockhampton, where there were a lot of fast kids from all over the country, New Zealand and even Thailand.

Day Two, it had rained all night with about 30mm of rain creating a very rough and muddy track. Spectators were saying it was just survival for a lot of the younger kids on the wet track. Both the boys had heats and fi nals on their bikes.

Days Three, Four and Five had much better weather but it was a very rough and rutted out track that delivered some exciting racing across the board. With both boys having to qualify on their bigger bikes with heat races plus finals, they each had 11 races plus a quali-

fying and practice session as well.

They were two very tired boys towards the end of the week!

They both rode their little hearts out all week, with a few crashes, bike problems and the weather to throw into the mix as well.

Will Cale smashed a few of his race starts on his KTM 65cc machine, fi nishing 13th overall in the nine-12yrs 65cc class out of 39 riders. His best place was a ninth in the last moto event after a crash.

Will also raced his KTM 85cc machine in the nine-12yrs class where there were 71 riders, and finished a smashing 19th overall for the week.

Ollie Cale, also riding two bikes, had a mechanical issue in the muddy conditions and did not fi nish in the fi rst race on his 50cc machine. He fi nished 27th overall out of 38 riders.

He was on another level on his 65cc machine, however, riding the wheels off it in the heat races running well inside the top 10 before a couple of crashes. Ollie has only just turned eight and fi nished the week 38th overall out of 61 riders in the seven-10yr old class. He held his own against a lot of older and bigger kids.

It was a great experience for the boys to have their fi rst national race done and dusted. There aren’t too many races over the summer months, so they look forward to next season.
