Local artist’s work unveiled, and firefighters receive National Emergency Medals By LUKE WILLIAMS A FITTING tribute to deceased local artist Lionel Phillips has been unveiled by the Trangie outfit of Fire and Rescue NSW. Last Thursday (March 30) a special ceremony was held to officially unveil the Rainbow Serpent Creation artwork on Rescue Pump 465 Trangie. Mr Phillips’ painting tells the story of the Rainbow Serpent - that many years ago the land was flat, and all water would be wasted. Bannoona (moonspirit) and Yunghi (sunspirit) created a lot of rain. Gulna (motherearth) softened the ground, then the Rainbow serpent would wiggle his way all over land creating mountains, hills, water holes, lakes, and rivers. This is how today we have all the water catchments on our land. Mr Phillips’ daughter, son and nephew were in attendance, to explain the story being told by the painting. A smoking ceremony was conducted by Uncle Ralph Naden from Gilgandra and the Trangie Local Aboriginal Lands Council arranged an Acknowledgement to Country in language. At the special ceremony, Trangie fi refighters were

20 bushfi res, he saw something he’d never seen before at a fi re front “grown men collapsing on the ground crying”. “These too were fi refighters who had also fought many fi res,” Mr Armstrong told the Narromine Star. “The size and the strength of the fi res, coupled with 12-hour shifts and a lack of sleep meant some of the guys just broke down in tears”. Mr Armstrong and other fellow Trangie Fire Brigade members were deployed after bushfi res began in September 2019 in the state’s north. They worked their way down to the south by the time fi res were all but completely extinguished in February 2020. “It roars at you,” Mr Armstrong said of those fi res, “things explode around you. You have very little visibility. They reach as high as you can see.” Over 11,400 fi res burned 5.5 million hectares or six per cent of the state - destroying 2448 homes, as well as 284 facilities and more than 5000 outbuildings in the state. It took poise, resilience, and bravery to fight those fi res.

WE CIRCULATE IN
FARMERS in Narromine were visited by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) this week, as part of a targeted education and compliance campaign aimed at reducing incidents of spray drift. “Spray drift” is the airborne movement of agricultural chemicals as droplets, particles, or vapours that can potentially lead to damage to human health, environmental contamination, and property damage. Due to the broadscale nature of much local agriculture, there have been multiple reports of spray drift incidents in the Macquarie Valley this year. NSW EPA Executive Director of Regulatory Operations, Carmen Dwyer, said the EPA officers had engaged with farmers to remind them of their obligations to prevent pesticide misuse. “The impacts of spray-drift on the farming community and environment are devastating, costing mil-

lions and damaging crops and our natural environment,” Ms Dwyer said. “We want to remind major cropping areas, that they need to always be taking appropriate precautions to prevent potential impacts to their neighbour or community,” she added. Those found to have wilfully or negligently caused damage, harm, or injury through pesticide misuse can face fines of up to $120,000 for an individual, and $250,000 for a company, under the Pesticides Act 1999. An EPA Spokesperson confi rmed with the Narromine Star, that no farmers were fi ned or prosecuted over the week, and that the efforts in Narromine were purely educational. They said that their officers had been reviewing spray practices, pesticides in storage, and record-keeping. The EPA added that producers have both a “legal and moral obligation” to stop the drift, but there had been numerous reports around the
State of spray incidents. “Most spray drift incidents occur when the applicator shows little regard for the weather conditions or neighbouring crops, and this needs to stop,” Ms Dwyer said. “We have also served legal notices on insurance companies requesting information to help us identify hotspot areas for spray drift and anyone who has had multiple complaints made against them for pesticide misuse... we encourage farmers to report any alleged pesticide misuse immediately, so we can investigate,” she said. The NSW EPA is also engaging with peak industry bodies, landholders, and agronomists, to better understand the impacts, challenges, and factors leading to the increase in spray drift events this season. In NSW, it is illegal to use pesticides in a way that could injure people or cause damage or harm to properties, plants, and animals, that are not the target pest species.

AFTER a shaky start to the season, Narromine cotton growers are feeling pretty good about this year’s yield. They say, however, that “relatively”, is the operative word. Crop planting was delayed throughout the region with a cool, soaking spring that led to near-record floods in parts of the State. “The cold, wetter period meant that growing didn’t begin until November and December, rather than the usual September and October,” Billy Browning from the Cotton Growers Association told the Narromine Star. “It meant a delayed start and a delayed yield. We are just sitting now and waiting for defoliation to start
by mid-April,” he added. Some growers in the area estimate that, many of the Valley’s farmers, have only been able to plant 50 per cent of their crop for the year. “The yield average for the Valley, will likely to be on the lower-end than previous years,” he explained. “It will mean lower incomes” Mr Browning said. Growers in the Macquarie Valley as well southern NSW and northern Victoria, have to had to contend with the shortest traditional planting window of all regions. Some only planted 30–40 per cent in areas set-aside for cotton. The drop was so low, that in December last year, crop figures for the whole of NSW saw a 40 per cent drop for the State overall. However, Trangie’s Rich-

Chance of any rain: 10% Central West Slopes and Plains area: Partly cloudy. Medium chance of showers in the south, most likely in the morning and afternoon.
ard Quigley, winner of the prestigious Bayer Cotton Grower of the Year Award for 2021, told the Narromine Star, that the season has gotten better, as it has progressed. “Apart from hailstones in February, the crop is got a lot better through the season. “We have had some clear weather and, once we got past that wet period, it was actually quite dry and we had a lot of good weather.” He said that, as the season has improved, so has the crop. “Yield expectations were quite low but, as the season progressed, we got more optimistic. I’m actually quite impressed with how the crop has progressed,” he said. This, Mr Quigley noted, was after a time when things were looking very

Overnight temperatures falling to around 12 with daytime temperatures reaching 20 to 27.

bleak for a long while. “We had a slow, cold start to the season. My father says he has had the toughest start to a season in his 30 years farming. “But the crop has caughtup, thanks to a clear summer. I would expect that 50 per cent of the crop across the Valley that was supposed to go in, didn’t go in, because it was so wet,” he said. Mr. Quigley also just had hosted a field day on his property where more than 250 cotton growers attended to share knowledge, tips, and techniques. Most of these came from the region and surrounds, with the northern Murray-Darling Basin producing 93 per cent of Australia’s $2 billion-a-year cotton crop.

Women’s Shed celebrates 10-years
Leona with Dugald Saunders. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. By LUKE WILLIAMS TEAS, skills, and warm smiles have been fi lling the Old Wesley Centre Church twice weekly for the last 10-years. That’s a decade of fundraising for charities like the Royal Flying Doctors Service, the VRA, Pink Angels, and the cancer foundations. The Narromine Community Women’s Shed was established on April 8, 2013, by Leona Lod-
ding and a group of like-minded women who identified a need for a women’s shed in the Narromine and surrounding areas. Ms Lodding started the group to get “stability” in her life, make new friends, and raise awareness about mental health. The group is the second-oldest women’s shed in the country. “We do try to do our best to help the community,” Ms Lod-
ding told the Narromine Star at a celebratory luncheon on April 3, 2023. 20-odd members travel from Gilgandra, Dubbo, Warren, and Trangie each week for knitting, lunches, teas, workshops, and fundraising. Over the past decade, the group has raised thousands of dollars for local charities. The group also crochets bonnets, blankets, and capes for premature and sick newborns.
Ms Lodding told the Narromine Star that she was grateful the group had just received $5000 from the outgoing coalition state government after being nominated for the grant by newly re-elected MP Dugald Saunders. The grant allows the women to purchase trestle tables to work on and an A3 coloured printer. Group member Lizzy Adams said she joined the group to

learn crafts and meet people. “I’ve learned so much since I started,” Ms Adams told the Narromine Star. “The friendships I’ve made here have boosted my confidence. I used to be really quiet and unsure of myself”. Ms Lodding told us Ms Adams had grown as a person since joining the group. “She’s really come out of her shell,” she said. “It’s been great to see.”

Labor electee Lawrence, urges State re-think on drugs, crime, punishment By LUKE WILLIAMS NEWLY-ELECTED Labor Party Legislative Councillor in the NSW Upper House, former Dubbo Mayor, Stephen Lawrence, believes more needs to be done to reduce drug use and crime in Narromine. By “more”, he means better services to improve people’s health and minimise fi nancial disadvantage. “There is a law-and-order problem and social dysfunction in Narromine which needs to be gotten on top of. I’ve heard the mayor talk about this many times” Mr Lawrence, who in seventh spot and was elected on Labor’s Legislative Council ticket, told the Narromine Star. “It’s always got to be a two-sided strategy, I think,”
he said. “We need appropriate policing resources and strategic approaches to combating crime on the frontline,” he explained. He said, however, that better policing was only part of the solution. “There is a very clear and obvious reason why our crime rates in country NSW are entrenched at two and three times the State average – it relates directly to social disadvantage and social dysfunction. “It relates to higher use of drugs and lower rates of education; all of these things work together to create high entrenched crime rates,” the lawyer and former barrister said. Mr Lawrence revealed that
he is currently working with the new Health Minister, Ryan Park, on deciding the best location for a new drug rehabilitation centre around Dubbo that will service clients from Narromine and surrounds. “I fi nd it quite frustrating, when people say these problems are so long-standing and so entrenched, they are impossible to tackle,” he said. “The immediate answer I have to that, is that we have never really tried,” he added. He said that drugs, and the inability to access treatment, was a direct cause of increased crime in rural areas. “The link between illicit drug use and crime, is quite evident. “Yet across regional NSW, we have only about one-third of the drug treatment services
available in metropolitan areas. It is often impossible to get a bed in rehabilitation” he told the Narromine Star. Mr Lawrence said this was not about being soft on crime, but untangling the root causes of one of the main linkages to law-breaking in our society. ““Drug addiction is fundamentally linked to trauma and psychosocial distress that people have,” he said. “It is really about untangling people’s problems on an emotional and psychological level. You know people with mental health and drug issues, have somewhere to go for help with those dual diagnosis issues,” he said. Although Legislative Council members don’t directly represent a region like their colleagues in the Low-
er House, Mr. Lawrence said that he will represent Western NSW’s needs and interests in Parliament. Mr. Lawrence told the Narromine Star that he would be working to ensure that Narromine continues its economic development, and that people can take advantage of full employment conditions. He also said that housing right across the State is among his government’s priorities. “We need to ensure, that all the economic development projects happen in a sustainable and planned way in respect to housing. “We can’t get away from the fact we need a serious investment in social housing, because if you fi ll that end of the market, then it takes pressure off the rest of it,” he concluded.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
Tyron and Jolie excel in shearing TWO young people from the Parkes electorate – Tyron Cochrane from Goodooga and Jolie Orcher from Bourke – recently excelled in the Junior Golden Shears; a prestigious New Zealand shearing competition. Tyron is only 18, and is the fi rst Australian to win the title since 1961 as well as the fi rst Aboriginal Australian ever to win this competition. These outstanding young people are role models for their communities, and an example of the excellent work of the Regional Enterprise Development Institute in connecting young Aboriginal people to their future careers. It was my privilege to bring this accomplishment to the attention of the House last week in Parliament.
Where is key funding for the Parkes electorate? IT has been 10 months since the election, and five months since the Federal Budget, yet key funding for the Parkes electorate, is still to be released by the Labor Government. The Growing Regions Program was supposed to be Labor’s answer to the former Coalition Government’s Building Better Regions Fund, but is yet to be established. The Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program however was already well-established and was a Coalition initiative which has been extremely popular, yet neither program has seen funding released. I have called on the Minister for Transport, and the Minister for Local Government, to prioritise access to this funding, which is so needed by councils and communities in the Parkes electorate.
Where has all the Federal funding gone for local roads and infrastructure? Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, has asked.
Supporting the resources sector LAST week in Parliament, I spoke in a Ministerial Statement on the Resources Sector, highlighting the crucial role of the Parkes electorate as a powerhouse in mining and resources. Broken Hill’s Cobalt Blue Project at Thackaringa, lithium mining at Fifield, gold deposits near Dubbo and Tomingley, as well as a rare earth project at Toongi, are only a few examples of resources projects currently underway in the Parkes electorate. If we’re going to be serious about having a cleaner envi-
ronment and reducing our emissions, we can’t ignore the crucial role of our resources sector. It is through greater efficiency and technology, that we will become both a cleaner and wealthier economy. Mining and agriculture drive this electorate and are the reason Australia is as strong as it is. We can produce both food and energy for ourselves, and we need to support these industries, rather than crippling them, so I was pleased to stand-up and make this point to the Parliament in my speech.
Rural generalists program is going well BACK in 2021, the former Coalition Government put $49.7 million into the Rural Generalist Training Scheme (RGTS) to boost doctor numbers in the bush. Recently in Parliament, I caught-up with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) who have been delivering this program, and was pleased to hear of its ongoing success in securing enrolments. The training of doctors takes time, however, with programs like this, my hope is that we begin to see more rural gen-
eral practitioners emerge and take up positions across the Parkes electorate. I have received many constituent appeals for more doctors in regional areas, and this is only one of many programs established to attempt to overcome the challenge of attracting doctors to the bush.
These outcomes take time, and involve multiple complex factors; however I will continue to work with organisations such as the ACRRM and the Rural Doctors Association of Australia to fi nd solutions. It is encouraging to see the popularity of the Rural Generalist Training Scheme.

A day at the races, Tomingley Picnics “magnificent” success
By LUKE WILLIAMS
A RETURN winner and a record crowd of more than 1000 punters, marked a triumphant day for Tomingley Races over the weekend. “A big success all-round in day, track, behaviour, everything – everything was just magnificent,” Tomingley Picnic Races President, Jason Hartin, told the Narromine Star. “The track was beautiful. The horses rode so well. It was just so much good grip. No dust. No mud, just perfect conditions,” he enthused. Brazilian hoop, Leandro Ribeiro also had a good day, taking-out out four of the six races, including on the Connie Greig, Dubbo-trained runner, Gossip in the 1500-metres Alkane Resources Tomingley Picnic Cup. Other winners on the day included Tandem, steered by Wayne Wheatley; Ribeiro on Sizzling Milly; and Kimmylee, ridden by Ricky Blewett. “Entries in the Fashion Field, was also magnificent” Hartin said. “All together, it was a great day,” he concluded.

Aunty Mirii teaches kids about First Nations – through song and dance
Aunty Mirii teaching and entertaining the children with her daughter.
PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
By LUKE WILLIAMS IT starts with the hum and giggle of children; a set of soft toys lined the front of the stage of Narromine Public School Hall. There was a cockatoo, a possum, an echidna, and a goanna. All of them were about to become the stars of a singing show. But, before that, the woman on stage asks: “Have you noticed that all our native animals have soft feet, so they don’t damage our lands?”. Indeed, this reporter had not noticed, that our introduced animals all have something
our natives don’t – big teeth and hooves. “Those hooved animals are now part of our family and part of our sacred land,” Aunty Sharron “Mirii” Bell from the Indigenous Insights group, told the Narromine Star. “It’s part of our landscape now, but that is something our native animals don’t have,” she added. Aunty Mirii then led the way on the stage as her Indigenous Insights colleagues performed in front of dozens of young children in the School Hall last Thursday. This Wiradjuri Gamilaraay
woman is the founder of Indigenous Insights which, since 2005, has focused on “Early Childhood, Cultural Education, and Wellbeing”. “Our First Nations people have always expressed themselves through many ways, including language, song, dance, story, art, and healing,” Aunty Miri said. “I just want to share how magical our culture is with young children, and that every person is living on sacred land,” she said. “We must bring that knowledge to our land. We need to feel connected to the place we live, work, and the beautiful
things around us, then nobody is going to want to protect or preserve it,” she explained. The event, funded through Catholic Care, aims to enlighten children about Australia’s fi rst peoples. “We love sharing and teaching our beautiful culture, and we do that through song and dance,” Aunty Mirii said Aboriginal Families as Teachers worker at Catholic Care Wilcannia-Forbes, Jackie Hull, told the Narromine Star, that Indigenous Insights: “Took language and culture out to communities. “Sharron is a proud Wiradjuri Gamilaraay woman, and
it was nice for the children to see they could do whatever they wanted to do in their life when they grow-up,” she added. Ms Hull said that performing for and enlightening children to the wonder around them, has been for Aunty Mirii, a lifelong ambition. “Sharron shared a story with them, that she always wanted to be on ‘Play School’. “She said it might have taken her a few years to get there, but she did eventually get there, and that tells kids they can achieve what they dream of,” Ms Hull said.

Thai-Aussie writer offers creative writing workshop in Narromine By LUKE WILLIAMS ENCOURAGING children to write helps both their self-expression and their minds, a successful children’s author who is coming to Macquarie Regional Library (Narromine) next month believes. “You really use your imagination, when you write,” famous writer, Oliver Phommavanh, told the Narromine Star. In an unassuming and affable manner, he explained the method and material for his works. “I write many of my books based on observational comedy and being out-of-place,” he said. “This comes from being someone who is in Australia,

and wants to be seen as Australian, but who is not looking like a typical Australi-
an,” he added. Phommavanh’s fi rst book for upper primary, Thai-riffic!, was published to critical acclaim, followed by Con-nerd, Punchlines, Thai-no-mite, The Other Christy, Super Connerd, Natural Born Loser and, most recently, Don’t Follow Vee. For younger readers, he also wrote Ethan in the Stuff Happens series. He said that this local event at the library, will be his chance to: “talk about my love of writing,” he said. “It will be my chance to talk about my influences, and the books I read growing-up. I’m going to give them writing tips, and show them some exercises as well,” he added. For those on the look-out for
children who are, or might be potential authors, the Thai-Australian author says to watch-out for “massive bookworms” who have lively imaginations. Phommavanh always wanted to be a writer growing up and got into university thinking he would write for adults, but he took an extra after his degree to study primary teaching. “So, I did that for a year, and then realised I should write for kids, because I love teaching, gave myself five years to write my fi rst book, five years working and writing.” His latest work features an Asian city kid who moves to a small country area. The book looks at how he
adjusts to being one of many Asians to being the only Asian kid at his school and the whole town. The idea came from visiting regional areas and asking himself – if I was a young kid and had to move here, what would I do? “I tell students, that whatever they write can be a story. “I think sometimes, the hardest part is having a blank page and feeling like they have to have a great idea to write a great story. “But I suppose you need to get the confidence to start brain-storming ideas, your best idea might be your 699th idea. Writing is meant to be fun,” he concluded.

Local artist’s work unveiled, and firefighters receive National Emergency Medals
PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
From page 1 SUITABLY, six Trangie fi refighters have now been awarded the National Emergency Medal for their heroics in battling these larger-than-life flames - Armstrong, Mark Haynes, Adam Cook, Te Arohani Peneha, Rod Barclay, and captain Wade Haynes have been recognised for their achievements. Captain Haynes told the Narromine Star said he felt
humbled and honoured the reward but that the fi rst word that came to mind when asked about those fi res was “devastation”. “Devastation for local communities and devastation for families,” he said. “It was a very dangerous fi re at times. It was scary when the wind changed. We were in some very sticky situations at times, but we got ourselves out of
those situations. The fi res were very intense and very erratic, but luckily, we had good equipment and good safety procedures that kept all the fi refighters safe while they were out there protecting all those communities.” Captain Haynes said that the fi res also demonstrated how communities can band together when times get tough - and the importance of everybody
having a bushfi re plan.” Mr Armstrong said the magnitude of the fi res has sharpened his resolve to keep fighting fi res for the community. “This is not a full-time gig, so we take time out of our jobs to do that. It’s not our primary employment. So, we are grateful to be recognised. It’s good to be recognised. We just put water on the red stuff,” he joked.
“I’ve been in this almost 10-years now and saw it was advertised in the local paper, my father was also a member of the local brigade. So, I want to keep giving this a go, keep having a crack, and keep giving back to the community,” said captain Haynes.

‘Bitumen bandits’ hit Narromine By LUKE WILLIAMS LOCALS have reportedly been visited by a group of men known to Fair Trading NSW as the “Bitumen Bandits” and are warning other residents to be wary. Narromine’s Andrew Sippill told the Narromine Star four men with British accents arrived at his house in high-vis gear claiming they had “hot mix” left over from nearby road sealing. “It all sounded very legit, they offered to lay bitumen in my driveway at a very low cost”. The group asked for over $16,000 upfront. Mr Sippill did not have this money on hand. Which he thinks is lucky because a short time later, the group turned up with a bobcat and a scraper – and what they had was not leftover tar but what Mr Sippill described as “a waste product, waste oil,
bottom of the distillation barrel when they make bitumen”. Even before that, Mr Sippill’s suspicions had previously been raised. He felt that something wasn’t quite right with the men almost from the outset. He looked up their business address which turned out to be a motel in Forbes and their operation address was a truck repair business in St Mary’s. Then he googled “bitumen” and what came up were a bunch of articles talking about the work of a groups known as the “Bitumen Bandits”. Members are known to target the elderly and the vulnerable. They will usually approach residents and offer a cheap quote for roofi ng work or laying bitumen for a new driveway and ask for the money immediately. Those who have paid fi nd that the waste product used to construct the driveway just falls apart not
long after the “workers” leave. “The more I thought about it, the more it just didn’t seem right,” Mr Sippill told the Narromine Star “So I’m glad I checked. They come across as quite professional and what they are offering seems like a good deal”. Notably, these types of groups have been quiet for some time after years of appearing in different places across Australia. Fair Trading NSW had last noted the group was active in NSW around May 2021 where they reported around Tamworth and the Central Coast. Bitumen Bandits have also been active in Brisbane and South Australia. Fair Trading NSW says these “scammers have been active for decades”. Fair Trading commissioner Rose Webb said while bitumen bandits can be extremely convincing, they exhibit several
characteristics that can help consumers spot them. “Members of these groups are nomadic and frequently travel across borders or long distances to seek work so, it’s very important consumers be on the lookout for them,” Ms Webb said. “Often these persons and groups are from an English or Irish heritage and will present extremely professionally, even with work vehicles and websites. Ms Webb urged anyone who believes they are being approached, or have been approached, by a bitumen bandit to collect all details possible and report sightings to the police and NSW Fair Trading. Contractors and laborers in NSW are required to hold a white card, which you can request to see. These cards have also recently been digitised through the Service NSW app,
so if the person does not have their physical copy you can request to see their digital copy. If they cannot supply either, that is a red flag.
If the work amount exceeds $5000 the person will require a contractor’s licence.
Whether bitumen-related or not, Fair Trading NSW says you should also always use Service NSW Tradesperson Check tool online. It is a free service that allows you to check the validity of an individual or business using any, or a combination, of the licensee name, licence number, trade and suburb.
“You are perfectly within your rights to request these details and again, if the person is unable or reluctant to provide these details, that is a major red flag,” Ms Webb said.

Smiles and grit at League Tag Gala Day
PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
Draw turmoil as Trangie Rams dropout of Castlereagh Cup WITH the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League season well and truly on the horizon, the competition has been dealt a major blow with the Trangie Rams indicating that they will not be fielding any teams this year. A few weeks ago, the Rams gave notice that they would not have a League Tag side this year, as did the Coonabarabran Unicorns but, whilst the Unicorns will be fielding a fi rst-grade side after sitting-out last year, Trangie have now announced that they will be not taking the field in any grade. Their withdrawal has sent Castlereagh officialdom into a frenzy as they scramble to arrive at a solution for what now becomes a very complex situation in regard to the 2023 competition draw. Castlereagh Secretary, Bryson Luff, explained that it is not simply a matter of having a bye when a club was drawn to play the Rams. “As per the wishes of the clubs we had a 14-round draw in place for our 10 clubs,” he explained. “The clubs were randomly drawn into two pools of five, with each club playing the other clubs in their same pool twice, and the clubs from the other pool once!” he added. He said that this split league makes reorganising the competition doubly hard. “Now, with the withdrawal of the Rams, we have a situation that the clubs drawn in the same pool as Trangie, will get two byes throughout the year, whilst the clubs in the other pool will only get one bye each. “This is hardly an ideal or equitable situation!” he continued. He said that the competition’s Board of Directors were to meet to try and resolve the situation before the annual knockout takes place on Saturday, April 15.
By LUKE WILLIAMS THERE were some determined, fast, and bright-eyed young ladies pulling out all their moves on a crisp, blue-skied Sunday morning in Narromine on the weekend. Well, maybe not all their moves. Not – tackles to be more specific. Tag rugby, or flag rugby, is a non-contact team game in which each player wears a belt that has two velcro tags attached to it, or shorts with velcro patches. The game is a bit like touch football and rugby league mixed together. Cars were parked from all angles to watch young women strutting their stuff. There was plenty of speed, dodging, and vocal coaches getting as close to the field as possible as part of the annual League Tag Gala Day hosted by Narromine. 26 teams, in the 11s, 14s, and 17s divisions made their way onto the two fields at Narromine Junior Jets on Sunday. “This was an opportunity to get the girls into pre-season. Some of the players are new this year so, it was just good to get them out
on the field,” Brooke Malleson from NSW Rugby League told the Narromine Star. Teams came as far-afield as Forbes, Nyngan, and Bathurst. “Girls being involved in any sport is really good. It’s really good to see the girls coming through and all the little upcoming league stars. But it’s all about to forging friendships and having experiences. “The Narromine teams are coming along very well,” she added. 13-year-old Marley Moss said it was a good day and enjoyed the “sportsmanship of all the players”. She told the Narromine Star she had recently made the transition from tackle to tag. “You have to be faster and more exact when playing tag compared to tackle,” she said. The day also presented an opportunity for local administrators and referees to reconnect with the community. Ms Malleson said events like this were also important because there are now “many pathway opportunities” for young girls to progress in the sport.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES
Tomingley Races, Saturday April 1 IN a repeat of the 2022 result, the Connie Greig, Dubbo-trained runner Gossip – before a big crowd on Saturday – won the 1500-metres Alkane Resources Tomingley Picnic Cup. Again ridden by Leandro Ribeiro, Gossip (the $2.90 favourite) led throughout to win by a length from stablemate Merdeka (Wayne Wheatley at $7) with Our Blue Moon (Ricky Blewitt at $3.20) a half-neck away third. Last year, Gossip came from fourth to win the Cup from Alpha Lane and Chuck ‘N’ Paul.
Greig’s ‘Gossip’ wins Tomingley Picnic Cup The now seven-year-old mare, Gossip has the handy record of eight wins and 12 placings from 55 starts with prizemoney of more than $110,000. Formerly from Brazil, Leandro Ribeiro is the current Picnic Riders Premiership holder in NSW, and he was again dominant at Tomingley with four winners, Centre Circle, Sizzling Millie, Gossip, and The Cave. On the same day that Dubbo trainer, Brett Robb, won the $500,000 Newhaven Park Country Championship at Royal Randwick with Sizzle Minizzle his parents, Rodney and Wendy Robb from Nyngan, won the 800-metres Eric Pugh Memorial Maiden Plate at Tomingley with Centre Circle. Trained by Robb and owned by Wendy, Centre Circle (Ribeiro on the $1.70 favourite)
took control in the straight for an easy win over Cheerful Union (Emily Waters at $3) and Basilfromtheblock (Tamsin Gough at $4). Dubbo trainer, Clint Lundholm, who was himself at Randwick with his Country Championship runner, Smooth Esprit, had two starters at Tomingley, Sizzling Millie and The Cave, and they both won. Parked behind the three duelling leaders by Ribeiro, Sizzling Millie (at $3) won the 1150-metres Rod Hore & Peter Angus Memorial Maiden Plate by over four lengths from Tonatrix (Wayne Wheatley at $5) and Rain Don (Emily Waters at $4.40). Completing the four-win haul for Ribeiro and the double for Clint Lundholm, The Cave (the $1.90 favourite) led for home and cleared-out to win the 1500-metres JDP
Heavy Diesel/Byrne Trailers Class B Handicap by over seven lengths from Here Come Chum (Emily Waters at $3) and Tequila Shots (Ricky Blewitt at $3.80). Quirindi trainer Geoff O’Brien and jockey Wayne Wheatley, combined to win at Tomingley last year with Scriba and they again teamed up to win the 800-metres JD McGaw Class 2 Trophy Handicap with Tandem. From near the tail of the field, Tandem (at $4.80) rushed home to score by a length from Luckyimwithaimee (Tamsin Gough at $12) and Agent Moon (Rebecca McCrae at $3.20). McCrae then changed from her jockey colours, to a glamorous outfit, and won a major award in Fashions in the Field at Tomingley! Narromine jockey Ricky Blewitt has been in great form throughout the season, and
it was an outstanding ride for him to win the 1150-metres O’Brien/Angus/Strahorn Memorial Class 3 Trophy Handicap on the Dean Mirfi n, Bathurst-trained, Kimmylee.
Finishing strongly from the back of the field, Kimmylee (the $2.80 favoruite) won by a long-head from Get Up Alby (Ribeiro at $4.20) with almost two lengths to the thirdplaced, Speudosa (Breanna Bourke at $4).
Winning trainer, Dean Mirfi n, missed the victory himself as he was at Randwick with a starter, De Forerunner, in the Country Championship
Racing on Easter Saturday is at Lightning Ridge and, on Easter Sunday, at Bourke Picnics and Mudgee TAB.
Narromine swimmer has Red-Hot qualified for Swimming Business House Australia 2023 Comp Grand Final as Epiroc triumphs Contributed by NORM LEWIS MUCH-ANTICIPATED Grand Final day for the 2022/23 Business House Competition was held last Wednesday between red-hot fi nalists, team EPIROC and team NDT. It was an exciting match with the scores see-sawing until EPIROC emerged the winner 19.5 points to 18.5. Well done to EPIROC on the victory, which I am told is their third win in a row for this event. Commiserations to team NDT, who had a good season only to be pipped at the post. Many thanks to all those who competed, making this teams event a popular and successful part of the Clubs annual programme. The comp featured 11 teams participating with good fields each week and the Club hopes it will encourage more players into the regular weekly events. Members of the winning team were John Everett, John Cleary, Arch Harding, Tony Harding, Steve Thompson, Nev Attwater, Mitch Rickson, Zac Everett, John Seville, and Al Sharpe. During the season, individual scores were recorded each week with the winners rewarded at the Trophy Presentation evening after the event. Lady Player of the Season, was Ann Harmer of the Double Delights team, while Ross King of the Canaries was the leading male player of the season. Congratulations to you both. Also on Final day, was the Business House Shootout, in which a selected player from each team played a knockout event over nine holes. This match went down to the last hole, where Ross King was victorious over Henry Buttsworth. Congratula-
tion to all the winners on a great day’s golf! On Saturday, a Four-Ball Aggregate Stableford saw in fi rst place, Alan Mann and Des Weir (on a countback) from Peter Hutchinson and Tony Harding. NTP (nearest-the-pin) on ninth went to Chris Peter; and on the 17th, Duane Faro-Mann with the Long Drive on the 11th also to Faro-Mann with the Jackpot Hole on the 17th having no Winner. On Sunday, there were insufficient players for a competition. Also on Sunday, was the Three Rivers Machinery Inter-Club Challenge between Warren and Narromine played at Warren with some 20 players from Narromine competing. This Stableford event had the top 10 scores from each club deciding the winner of the Challenge Cup. This went to Warren with a score of 356 to Narromine’s 346. Our own Kale Bock ran second on the day overall, and we express many thanks to the Warren Club for hosting the day and to Three Rivers Machinery for sponsoring the event. Apparently, it was a good trip home on the bus! Good Friday features no golf but the Club will be open in the evening for Seafood and Easter Raffles. Easter Saturday is an 18-Hole event, with Easter Sunday an 18-Hole 4 BBB event and Easter Monday an 18-Hole Individual Stableford. The Sunday morning Junior Clinic is off for the next three weeks during the School Holidays. That’s all for this week – Happy Easter to all and see you at the 19th over the weekend!

League legends at Narromine for the Jets, and for “Roycie”
Club Triples Final game goes down to the wire
By LUKE WILLIAMS WHEN Penrith Panthers’ rugby league legend, Royce Simmons, revealed in January 2022 that – aged only 61 – he had been diagnosed with dementia, the football community was left reeling. The former Kangaroos hooker and star of the Panthers inaugural grand fi nal win in 1991, had been one of the most-beloved players to ever represent the “Mountain Men” – and subsequently coached and played all over the world. Simmons, after his diagnosis, however, had to tell his grandson, that the day would come when he no longer knew who he was. Simmons then decided, that he would dedicate the rest of his life to assisting others who were affected by this heart-breaking disease. “Royce’s Big Walk” last year from Dubbo to Bathurst, raised more than $1 million for dementia research. This year’s event runs from Tuesday, April 18, to Saturday, April 29 but, before he heads-off, “Roycie” will be the star turn at an exciting sports luncheon at the Narromine United Services Memorial Club. Simmons, along with star League contemporaries, David “Cement” Gillespie and Parramatta legend, Peter Sterling, will also feature at the event later this month to raise money for junior Narromine Rugby League. President of Junior Jets Rugby League, Tim Roberts, told the Narromine Star: “The event will be a sports luncheon where all three speakers will tell stories from their career. There will be raffles, a charity auction, and lunch”. Roberts said that he particularly looking forward to hearing Peter Sterling speak who, he said: “provides the best, unbiased opinion on rugby league out there. “He is a very balanced, intuitive, very clever man, who provides the best analysis of the game,” Roberts added. “Royce wants to support various junior rugby league teams as well,” he explained. Royce’s Big Walk Committee Member, Paul O’Neill, told the Narromine Star: “Getting this calibre of guests in one place in a small town, is a fantastic opportunity”. Roberts said the event, which can cater for up to 200 people, is important because the club is trying to put funds together for renovations. “We have a State Government grant to renovate our club rooms and renovating our sheds,” he said. “But we need to come up with 25 per cent of the funds to get the grant; the luncheon will raise funds for the walk and support kids in sports – there are 230 kids, boys and girls, involved in rugby league, making it the biggest club in town,” he concluded.
EXCITING fi nal of the Club Triples was contested last Saturday and, as predicted the “window tappers” got great value for money, with an extra end needed to determine our champions for 2023. After shooting-out to a 10–1 lead, the “Beavers” were certainly in the box-seat, but the dogged fightback from their opponents, Clifton Harris, James Coen, and Kevin Rider, saw “Beave” and his team-mates, Richard Hyde and Mark Hilder, having to dig deep into their bag of tricks. However, they still couldn’t stem the trickle of shots. So much so, that after 16 ends, the scores were locked up and, after a bit of toing and froing in the last few ends, it all came down to that extra end when, after the normal fi nishing post, the scores were deadlocked at 20–20. In this end though, it was Bea-
ver’s crew who got the necessary shot needed to claim victory. Well done to both teams on what was a great match. Nominations close shortly for the Zone Singles Championships so, if you would like to play in this match, a nomination sheet with all the venues and dates, has been posted on the noticeboard. Simply enter your name and preferred venue, give James Coen the $10 entry fee, and the bowls secretary will ensure you get a start. The 100 Club should be drawn this week, hopefully! This project to help raise some funds for our Pennant Bowlers, has proven a tad harder to sell, than was expected. Nominations for our next club championship, namely the Major Minor Pairs, are now being called for, with the nomination sheet posted on the noticeboard this week. Social Bowls this week, saw 18
players go round on Thursday with another dozen chaps lining-up for the “Chook Run” on Sunday morning. Thursday’s winners were Richard Hyde, Bob Davis, and Don Sullivan with the runners-up another trio, namely, Scott Lincoln, Col Hume, and Mark Hilder. Sunday’s Chook Run resulted in Richard Hyde, Lionel Ayoub, and Bill Wilkie getting the chocolates and making it a “Trifecta of Trophies” for the week for Richard (back to 100 per cent) Hyde. This Thursday’s raffles will be a tad different to the norm with some 30 delicious seafood trays up for grabs; just another reason to come on down to the “Bowly” for a good time. Well, that’s all she wrote folks (for this week anyway), hope to see you up at the Club over the Easter weekend!
Big win for “Jacko” in his last game with “Gerries” Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Saturday there was a total of 13 players who faced the starter on the back nine of the Narromine course for the fi nal Summer Competition game. Ron Jackson, playing his last-ever game with the Gerries, put it all together to record a great score of 28 points... well done, “Jacko”. Ron was playing his fi nal match with the gang, as he now lives in Lake Cargelligo. Thanks for the company, Jacko – all the best for the future. Terry Willis took second place for the second week in a row with a score of 25 points (maybe looking after his handicap!) The battle was also on for the NAGA prize, with Ron Green in the clubhouse looking a likely winner, when along came Bob Fletcher with 13 points
to pinch the coveted prize. There was no winner for the NTP (nearest-the-pin), so the prize now jackpots. Once again, only one match in the weekly Pool Competition, with Chris Harding and Ron Jackson playing Chris Peter and Terry Willis. The pairing of Peter and Willis were the underdogs early in the match, until Chris hit his straps to take himself and Terry to victory, and the title of Pool Champs for the week. The Gerries will now play the winter competition on Wednesday afternoons starting this week. Play is on the front nine with the hit-off at 4pm. Please watch this column for starting times as, they will vary, due to the shorter days – thanks to the fi nish of daylight saving. That’s all for this week – see you all at the 19th!
