Local mum, Keiley, who braved the drought bags Royal Show’s Rural Achiever Award By LUKE WILLIAMS NARROMINE mum, Keiley Noble, came-out of the 2019 drought, with a determination to make the world a better place. Keiley is the is the fi rst mother ever named as the RM Williams Royal Agriculture Society’s (RAS) prestigious Rural Achiever Award winner, in its 34-year history. Her recognition follows her efforts at supporting her family while raising a new-born baby as she and her husband Ross’s hay-farming business, dried-up. “Then Ross was going away for two months at a time, just to grow hay wherever he could,” the 28-year-old said, “So, I was then working fulltime, studying full-time, and being a Mum, without my husband home.” The rains did eventually

she eventually took a job with the Department of Regional NSW, where she works in preparing regional drought
plans – helping communities and councils better-prepare for droughts and other natural disasters.

Keiley told the Narromine Star she was “surprised” and “humbled” to get the Award amidst a field of eight quality fi nalists. The RM Williams Rural Achiever Award, is a statewide leadership program run by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, to recognise future young leaders working hard to make a significant contribution to their local community and rural Australia. The Award aims to acknowledge the achievements of young people (aged from 20– 29) in primary industry and rural communities. She said that the “biggest thing” she would like to get across about winning the Award, is “there are so many amazing people in regional and rural NSW, but they don’t see themselves as being special.

Five-fold increase, premium jump has home-owners insurance-free By LUKE WILLIAMS FOLLOWING premium hikes of up to 500 per cent annually, some local home-owners have abandoned paying insurance for their properties, and many are not happy! Following the rise, Narromine Shire Council recently wrote to the Insurance Council of Aus-tralia over their concerns about the jump in home insurance costs across the Shire. This follows Councillor Lyn Jablonski recently revealing that, she had experienced a four-fold increase in insurance premiums for her Narromine home. This steep rise, she believes, has become so widespread around town, that it has meant that some locals have simply for-feited home insurance altogether, because they can no longer afford it. Cr Jablonski added that the premiums on her own property, had risen from $2753 for the 2022/23 fi nancial year, to an eye-watering $14,660 for 2023/24 – an increase of 432 per cent. “We didn’t get an explanation,” she said. “We just
started shopping around, we tried to get a flood insurance exclusion, but none of them will allow it,” she added. Cr Jablonski said that the cheapest premium she could fi nd was around $8000, which means she will probably go without home insurance this year. Since posting about this on Facebook, she said she had been inundated with similar com-plaints from local residents. “It’s really unfair,” Cr Jablonski told the Narromine Star. “I am hoping the Council does more about this”. In response to questions from the Star, the Insurance Council of Australia, said: “Each insurer has their underwriting (insuring) criteria, and will use these criteria to deter-mine the risk of individual policies and policy categories for their business. “Insurance prices risk, and as the risk of extreme weather worsens, insurance can become increasingly costly, particularly for those in natural disaster-risk areas,” a spokesperson said.
They added that, there are a number of factors that go into assessing the cost of insurance. “Premiums may be affected by individual, local, national, and international factors, which may include: inflation, the insurer’s cost of doing business, the number of claims experi-enced in that sector of the insurance industry, and largescale natural disasters.” Cr Jablonski, who lives around 1.5 kilometres south of the Macquarie River, said she told her insurer that Narromine’s levee bank held strong, even during storms that caused severe flooding for other towns along the Macquarie River last year. Her comments follow recent Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecasts of a drier and hotter season from now, until around July. The BOM adds that, later in the year, there is also a 50 per cent chance of a La Nina (dry cycle) weather event, which would further decrease the possibility of floods. Cr Jablonski told her insurer – Westpac General Insurance (which has its
pricing calculated by Allianz) – that the last major flood in the levee-protected town, was way-back in 1955. She has been pushing Council to do more about the issue, with a resolution to write to the Insurance Council of Australia, stating that that the town’s levies could withstand a oncein-100-year flood. However, this resolution, was rejected by the Chamber, after Council’s General Manager, Jane Redden, informed Cr Jablonski at the last Council meeting, that the levee was not, in fact rated, to withstand such an event. Meanwhile, the Insurance Council of Australia looks unlikely to put pressure on its members to bring down local premiums, instead offering the following advice to hardhit homeown-ers to: f Increase their property’s non-insured excess; f Ask their insurer for other ways they can lower their premiums; f Shop around; f Pay their premium annually, and also to inquire if they qualify for any discounts.
Big boost in our region’s agricultural land values By LUKE WILLIAMS PRICES for agricultural land in the Dubbo and Narromine regions, increased by more than 50 per cent in 2022, after three consecutive years of relative stability. Price per hectare in agricultural land lifted from $3200 in 2019 and $3400 in 2021, to $5600 per hectare in 2022. The figures from the land value report – supported by farmland sales data – said that high commodity prices and good weather conditions for most of the growing year, reinforced three consecutive seasons of good fi nancial performance for Australia’s farm sector. This result has once again fuelled “double-digit” percentage growth in agricultural land prices nationwide for the year
ahead; albeit after easing from the record near-30 per cent increases seen in both 2022 and 2021. Rabobank’s analysis, showed that agricultural land prices across the country, rose by 29 per cent (median price per hectare) in 2022, with cropping land increasing by 29 per cent, live-stock grazing land by 26 per cent, and dairy land by 29 per cent. Report author and RaboResearch Agriculture Analyst, Vitor Pistoia, said that agricultural land prices across the country had soared again in 2022, with the “macro-settings” having been favourable for land purchases and farming profits in Australia. “Prices for most major commodities reached record highs, widespread rainfall supported agricultural yields – which also surpassed historical

records in some regions – and interest rates were at historical lows for almost half the year,” he said. While a decline in agricultural land prices is not forecast, the bank cautions that, after the estimated double-digit percentage price increase this year, a significant slowdown in the “pace” of price growth – which he described as “massive” in recent years – is expected from 2024 potentially through to 2028. Mr Pistoia said: “farmland sale prices in early 2023, are still setting new records”, with pric-es in 2023 expected to continue to rise. “Albeit to a lesser extent to the previous year, as the combination of high property prices and increasing interest rates – along with the expected onset of El Nino, and potentially drier weather for many parts

of Australia, which may hamper agricultural yields – will be impacting farmers’ appetite for buying land,” he said. For now, the report says, farmers’ appetite for property purchase remains strong, with re-cent Rabobank research conducted in the fi rst quarters of the year, showing seven per cent of Australian farmers intend to buy land in the next 12 months. NSW, however, was the only state where intentions to purchase land, were found to have grown since last year, the report says. Agricultural land prices in NSW, were shown to have experienced strong growth in 10 out of 15 regions in the State in 2022, according to the report, with a year-on-year increase of 19 per cent overall.

Local mum, Keiley, who braved the drought bags Royal Show’s Rural Achiever Award From page 1 “WITHOUT them getting in and doing what they do every day, the world literally wouldn’t operate,” she said.

to be genuine, down-to-earth, and relatable. I think overall, that’s why they picked me in the end, because people can relate to me. I think they think other people can relate to me.” Giving back to your community, is important, she believes.

Healthy living, and learning, at Narromine Family Fun Day By LUKE WILLIAMS LEARNING new things – especially how to be healthier and better ourselves and our loved ones – was the central theme of Narromine’s recent Family Fun Day. This was a message warmly-received last Friday by about 1200 attendees in the sunshine at Baydon Park sports oval. One revealing display, showed several realistic-looking plastic lungs displayed in jars – one of them spotted with white-and-black marks. “Can you guess how many cigarettes per day, this person has?” Tobacco Action Worker, with the Wellington Aboriginal Health Corporation Service, Tyrice Newman, asked. “Ten? “None” he said. “That’s just the effect of passive smoking – and we want people to know just how much damage you can do to other people with smoking,” he answered. The artificial lung – a model of a natural lung damaged from passive smoking was not in a good way. It also showed the effects of smoking 20 cigarettes a day on lungs – half a jar of tar, and it’s any wonder, that lungs can work it all, with that much sticky, heavy, brown substance weighing them down. The Day had virtually every type of local service represented including Legal Aid, disability advocacy, homeless services, and the Royal Flying Doctors; all amidst the smell of barbecu-ing sausages and the dulcet sounds of the talented Duncan Ferguson, singing. Narromine Community Skills Project’s Ann-Louise Stonestreet, told the Narromine Star that the “Ignite Your Life” event had: “brought people together from all around the district, from Dubbo, Wellington, Gilgandra, Warren, Trundle, Nyngan, Trangie, and Narromine”. “It was an inclusive event that babies, children, adults, all abilities and elders, could attend,” she added. The event was designed, to be both fun and informative. “Enjoy the activities, sit back and relax listening to Duncan Ferguson sing, and watch Pooka, while kids enjoyed the free inflatables and ride. “Be able to access free dental and other health services, and have access to services they may not have known outreached to Narromine,” Ms Stonestreet explained. Its success, she said, was down to many individuals and local groups. “I am sincerely grateful for the extraordinary people working for the services who attended, and for those who sponsored and supported the event behind the scenes,” Ms. Stonestreet said. For Mr Newman, the day was an opportunity: “to educate the community on the effect of smoking”. This young First Nations man himself, only quit smoking seven months ago. “We are reminding people, what chemicals are in their body and in their cigarettes,” he said. “We are very passionate about coming out here and helping the community. Some people just think it’s fun and games. Then they realise how bad smoking is”. Mr Newman’s message also reinforced the fact that the Family Fun Day itself, was not only about blowing bubbles and fairy floss, fun and games. “A high percentage of deaths amongst the Indigenous people, are caused by smoking,” he said. “It’s about generational trauma; money was introduced late into our cultures. We were often paid in rations and often paid with cigarettes – that’s my grandparent’s parents,” he said. Events like this, he added, are designed to help break that cycle. “Now we need to stop this from being passed down from generation to generation. “We need to ensure we don’t smoke around our kids, so we don’t set off those receptors in their brains. It’s just about educating people to look-after their bodies, and those around them,” he concluded.

Five decades on; “Nasho” Neil ponders the rights and wrongs of Vietnam War By LUKE WILLIAMS SHOULD our old Diggers be asked to commemorate our sacrifices in a war, that many themselves did not believe, was right? Narromine resident and Vietnam War veteran, Neil Richardson, will be attending this year’s local ANZAC Day events – with a fi rm conviction that he and many of his close friends fought in a confl ict¸ that he doesn’t think was just. Mr Richardson, when he was just 22, was one of the thousands of “Nasho’s” (National Ser-vicemen) who were compulsorily-conscripted via a random ballot to go to Vietnam; adding that he simply wouldn’t have gone, if he had a choice. “That said, we hadn’t thought about the moral question, of whether it was a ‘just war’,” he now recalls. “We certainly didn’t want to go, but we thought we were doing ‘the right thing’,” he adds. The Vietnam War, or the “American War” as it is called in Vietnam, was a confl ict in Vi-etnam, Laos, and Cambodia, that ran roughly from about November 1955, to the fi nal fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. Popularised at the time as a battle between freedom and tyranny, Australian “military ad-visers” and troops were involved for over a decade from 1962 to our fi nal withdrawal of all combat units, in 1972 with more than 500 dying in the confl ict. The war was divisive from the get-go, however. Our oldest allies, Britain, and many other Western countries, refused to take part in what was originally a civil war between the communist-led Vietnamese in the North, and the more-Westernised US-aligned peoples of the South. It was also the fi rst major war that was covered by television and, by the early 1970’s, peo-ple right across the Western world, including in Australia, didn’t like what they saw. Long before the withdrawal of our troops, the majority of voters in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States were actively-opposed to the war. “The Vietnam War was a typical Government con-job. We probably shouldn’t have been there,” Mr Richardson now believes. “I was hoping they learned from it, and they didn’t – we had Afghanistan and then Iraq, after that,” Yet next Tuesday, April 25, Mr Richardson will celebrate ANZAC as a day to remember the sacrifices people made, not just the soldiers, but the service people and all the good friends
we made. “From our perspective, we had to go... y’know? At the time, we all thought we were young and bullet-proof,” he thinks back. “We didn’t really think of the moral questions, of course, in hindsight, it was the wrong thing to do. The trouble is, you use hindsight too much; you can go mad.” The past, he adds, cannot now be changed. “We all thought we were doing the right thing at the time, but we weren’t. “The Vietnamese were all so friendly and were terrific people, and I made some great lifelong mates there,” he says. An older man with less-ambiguous feelings about an earlier and far-less contested confl ict this ANZAC Day, is lifelong local, Les McKinnon. Mr McKinnon, a former journalist on the-then Narromine News, is 101-years young, and one of less than 7000 remaining World War II Australian veterans, whose numbers have halved since 2019. While Mr McKinnon didn’t do any overseas service, a spokesperson for the Veteran, said: “he is quite content with his role during the War, knowing that if required – and when the War ended, he was about to be posted to where confl ict was – he was prepared to go. “For Les, and for so-many others who didn’t see action, even though the opportunity to serve didn’t arise, their willingness to serve, counts just as much.” Mr. Richardson told the Narromine Star, that he wishes that people would: “read the history books” before they decide to invade another country. “Look at the Vietnamese?” he said. “They fought-off the Chinese; they fought-off the French. They had a history of taking-down big, invading powers. So how do you fight someone, who says: ‘I don’t care if I get you, my grandson will get you’?” He says the question of whether it was a “just war”, was only slightly-complicated by South Vietnam’s divisions about whether they wanted the North Vietnamese in charge. However, he could not say the same for the Iraq War, which he says was just plain “dodgy”. That said: “When it comes to ANZAC Day, I don’t think it matters, if you are in a ‘just war’ or not; it still counts as to commemorate; most soldiers don’t want to be in war. “I am not saying there is a right or a wrong war. The politicians made a big decision, not the people who went and fought it,” he concludes.
Inspiring ANZAC message, from essay winner, Bella By LUKE WILLIAMS WISDOM from our young, offers us all hope for the future. For instance: “It is my vision for all Australians, that we will always remember the reasons why we commemorate ANZAC Day and the relevance of the values of those that are still as important to us, as they were over 100 years ago.” Believe it or not, these are the words of a Year 10 student, Narromine High School’s Bella Havecroft, winner of a local competition, about our most important day. Her inspiring essay about the sacrifices of Australians at war, will now be read-out at Nar-romine’s ANZAC Day celebrations on Tuesday, April 25. “At a time of commemoration, we must also feel for the families,” she writes. “The loved ones who stayed behind, who battled their issues throughout times of war. We must reflect upon the prisoners and wounded and those who will continue to suffer to this day. But, above all, we honour those who died for us, for our nation, and peace,” the elo-quent young Ms Havecroft, writes. Topics for the local competition comprised: “What do you know about ANZAC?”; and “How do you feel about ANZAC?” which was open for all primary and high school students in Nar-romine. Ms Havecroft and the other local winners that were chosen by the schools, will now be hon-orary guests at Narromine’s own ANZAC Day commemorations. Narromine RSL Sub-Secretary, Diane Beaumont, created the competition so as to involve our younger generations in this very special national day.
“Look, we are not getting any younger; the idea is to get young people interested, whether they have been to war or not; we need someone to take over,” she said. “My idea, was to inform the kids involved. There are the ones who are going to take over from us when we go eventually,” Ms Beaumont told the Narromine Star. RSL Club President, David Taylor, agreed, adding that service to our country, has followed generations of Australians. “Some of these kids, possibly have grandparents who are returned servicemen, and so many of them might have had experiences through their family to remember and under-stand,” he said. ANZAC Day, he added is probably the one day in Australia whose importance, we all agree upon. “It shows a connection between Australia with over countries. “I mean, certainly with the First World War, a lot of people signed-up when their parents had not long arrived from England or other European countries in Australia. So, for many of them, it was defending their hometowns,” Mr Taylor added. Young Ms Havecroft again reminds us in her essay – being read-out by a school captain next Tuesday – of our Australian values. “Mateship, compassion and trust” and that in the wars, “ordinary Australian citizens” made “a personal sacrifice, to give their lives, for the equality and freedom we can enjoy. “And it is my vision for all Australians that we can continue to show these values, ourselves, every day,” she added. And so the torch is passed, by young people like Ms Havecroft, to a new generation...

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
ANZAC biscuit recipe on its way IN coming weeks, residents of the Parkes electorate should receive a special card to commemorate ANZAC Day and the sacrifices our brave servicemen and women have made to keep us safe during confl icts. On the back of this card, you will also find an original recipe for ANZAC biscuits created by Bob Lawson, who was an original ANZAC present at the Gallipoli Landing in 1915. I encourage you to share this recipe with your family to reflect on the courage of our soldiers. Biscuits like those in the recipe, were sent in “care packages” to soldiers during World War I, and can be an effective reminder of the hardships faced by those on the frontline.
Former Chief Medical Officer retires IN the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, I worked very closely with Professor Brendan Murphy (AC) in my role as minister for regional health. At the time, Prof. Murphy was the chief medical officer to the former federal government and, under his guidance, measures were put in place which slowed the spread of COVID-19, such as closing international borders. Professor Murphy has made an outstanding contribution to Australia’s health and aged care systems, also holding the position of secretary of the department of health and aged care. His expert advice and calm leadership, guided Australia through some of the most significant public health challenges in modern history. I thank him for his service and wish him well in his retirement.

OBITUARY
Alan Edward Gainsford – lifelong love of Narromine et and also Rugby Un-ion and Rugby League. For pocket money, he would clean bricks for 40 shillings per hundred bricks and work in the school canteen, which fuelled his love of lollies. Back in Narromine, Alan worked on the farm during the week and played cricket or tennis both days of the weekend. He represented Narromine in cricket from 1946 to 1953, usually opening the batting. When Alan was 20, Ken helped him buy ‘Central Farm’, which was next door to ‘Yarren Farm’. Alan loved his farm, worked hard, and implemented many changes to it over the years. This included building the hay shed, converting the old stables to a shearing shed, and erecting silos. Being a farmer, Alan endured droughts, floods, and plagues. Alan met Tess (Carmel Therese Johnson) in 1952 while playing tennis at Yarran farm. She had come from Sydney, was well-educated, and employed as a governess for the Mackillops. They were married on January 2, 1954, in St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney. Alan and Tess have five children: Peter, John, Ronda, Colin, and Therese. Their spouses are Vicki, Gary, Rachel, and Brett. Alan and Tess have nine grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. The Gains-ford family has been in the Narromine region for six generations and Central Farm has now been managed by three of these generations. Tess died suddenly in 1985 from a brain aneurysm aged only 52. This was devasting for fam-ily and friends. Later, Alan became friends and part-
IT is with heavy hearts, that his family convey to friends and the community, the passing of Alan Edward Gainsford at the age of 93 years. Alan was a resident of Narromine all his life, and left this world on Saturday April 8, 2023, dying peacefully at Timbrebongie House. Alan was born on January 30, 1930, in the private hospital on Willoughby Road in Narem-burn. He was the eldest child of Ken and Nellie Gainsford (nee Linder) of Yarren Farm, Nar-romine. Alan had a brother, Lenny and sister, Margaret, and two other brothers, Kevin and Colin, who both died very young. His mother Nellie also died in 1936 from birth complications. She was a very talented pia-nist, and to lose his mother at such a young age, was devasting for Alan and his family. Alan attended the little Backwater school until he was seven. In 1938, Ken married Grace Reakes and they had a son, Brian. Alan and Lenny then moved into his grandparents’ home in Meryula St, Narromine, with his aunts and cousins. Grandma Gainsford was a devout Catholic, so all the children were raised accordingly, and Alan attended church regularly. On Friday afternoons, Alan would ride his push bike 10 miles home to work on the farm at weekends. In 1943, Alan went to St. Stanislaus College in Bathurst. He was awarded half a bursary at 50 pounds a year. The dormitories were overcrowded because the city children had come there as it was deemed safer during the War. Alan played fi rst XI crick-
ner with Jan Buswell, a relationship which continued for the rest of his life. Alan was also a community man. He was member of the Narromine Irrigation Board for 40 years and also chairman for a considerable part of that time. He was also a Shire councillor from 1967 to 1983, and President of the Show Society in 1973 and 1974, later becoming a Life Member. He was recognised for his long service on these boards. In his true networking style, Alan enjoyed a beer at the Narromine Hotel with friends, fellow farmers, and business associates. He continued this until he was 90-years-old. When Alan retired into town in 1996, he loved restoring old furniture at the Men’s Shed. During retirement Alan embarked on many holidays, including going to England, for Colin and Rachel’s wedding in 1993, Europe, New Zealand, Great Britain, Doha, and Kununurra. The many years of farming life took its toll on Alan, with two hip replacements and heart bypass surgery. However, later in life it was his hearing loss, that was most frustrating for him. Thank-you to Alan’s many friends and colleagues, past and present. Your contribution to Alan’s life journey is greatly-appreciated. Thankyou to the doctors, nurses, and carers at Timbrebongie House, especially during his last few weeks. A celebration of Alan’s life will be held next week. For details see the Classifieds page. — The Gainsford Family

Gorillas start season with two wins
Narromine Gorillas got their season off to a great start with two wins secured at home on the weekend. Both the second grade and first grade teams came out on top of the Dubbo Rhinos in the first round of the 2023 New Holland Cup. PHOTOS: PEDR CORDEROY.
By GINNI BROWN PERFECT weather conditions and a newly refurbished grandstand at Narromine’s Cale Oval created a stunning start to the season for the Narromine Gorillas as they took on the Dubbo Rhinos in the fi rst round of the 2023 New Holland Cup on Saturday, April 15. A new look, young and eager team was also keen to pay tribute to club life member and stalwart, Andy Thorburn as he celebrated his birthday and they delivered in spades with two excellent wins.
Second grade took to the field and quickly made an impact, with a Dan Barry try converted by Justin Clarke. Clarke then scored and converted his own try by the 30th minute. Gorillas scored again 10 minutes into the second half in a great run by Ratu Roko. Rhinos were gutsy, they had a successful penalty early on and scored just before fulltime with a fi nal score of 19-10. Points went to Jack Gainsford, Rueben Gill and Jeremy Montgomery, who all played their fi rst game for the club in grade footy, as well as Josh Payne and Grant Smith.
A large crowd were buoyed by the win as fi rst grade ran on against a fit and fierce Rhino’s side. They started a game that had plenty of opportunities, but no points on the board until the 35th minute when Dan Battishall bruised through the defence. An Alex Heap penalty right on half-time earned the Gorillas an 8-0 scoreline going into the break and a well earned rest. In the second half, the Gorillas had plenty of the ball and the versatile Hamish Job scored off a maul 13-0, much to the surprise of the commentators. The Rhino’s hit back with
a converted try in the 57th minute to tighten the board to 13-7. Gorillas made the most of their possession with a Jack Bender scored in the 75th minute Heap conversion to get some breathing space at 20-8. The Rhinos then scored with two minutes to go with a fi nal score of 20-12 in an excellent performance for both sides. Gorillas captain Hugh Browning was thrilled with the two wins. “We had an early start to preseason training this year and lots of new faces. The pride in the jersey really showed today” he said. “Our aim for this game was to
deliver clean, simple footy and the boys played with a lot of heart”. A special mention to Keith Maher, who played half a second grade and a full fi rst grade game, showing his experience and toughness. Points for fi rst grade went to Euan Truscott, John Corderoy (great to have him back from university) and Justin Bennett. Congrats also to Matthew McRae, Hayden Ellis and Jack Bender who debuted for fi rst grade. The Gorillas take on Parkes, in Parkes, next weekend.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES BACK in action after a break from racing, the talented Ronald Simpson rode a winning double, Cherry Blue and Gretzky, before a good crowd on Saturday, April 15 at Warren. Formerly from Brewarrina, Simpson is now apprenticed to Clint Lundholm and for the Dubbo trainer he won the 1600 metres Welsh Family Class One and Maiden Plate on the four-year-old grey gelding Cherry Blue. Raced by the McMahon family from Tullamore, Cherry Blue ($1.90) from last in the big field sliced through the pack to beat Miandelle (Billy Cray, $8) and Hoorini (Andrew Banks, $14) with Phone Home battling on for fourth after leading by four lengths. Gretzky, the comeback winning ride for Ronald Simpson the previous Saturday at Lightning Ridge, was again well ridden at Warren in the 1200 metres Macquarie Valley Rock And Sand Class Three Handicap. From back in the field, the Dar Lunn, Dubbo-trained Gretzky ($3.80) gained an in-
Winning doubles at Warren’s Golden Fleece race meeting side run to beat the leader Destiny’s Bounty (Will Stanley, $1.80 favourite) and One Man Band (Jake Barrett, $6). Sister and brother apprentices, Ashleigh Stanley and Will Stanley, fought out the fi nish of the 1400 metres Warren Services Benchmark 50 Handicap. Coming from near last in the 12 horse field, the Kylie Kennedy, Narromine-trained Fiveash (Ashleigh Stanley, $15) won by a neck from Neidr Dawn (Will Stanley, $2.50 fav.) with Punkzy (Ken Dunbar, $12) in third place. Wayne Collison, the father of Kylie Kennedy, made it a family winning double as the trainer of Luckyimwithaimee in the following race, the 1000 metres Paraway Pastoral Company Benchmark 50 Handicap. Will Stanley was aboard Luckyimwithaimee ($13) which came from fi fth on the home turn to score in a close fi nish from Speudosa (Jake Barrett, $4.40) and Pixies Choice (Shayleigh Ingelse, $6). A last start third at Lightning Ridge was followed by a win for the Brett Thompson, Gulgong trained Outside Edge at Warren in the 1400 metres Haddon Rig Maiden Plate.

(Chelsea Hillier, $11). Trained at Gilgandra by Kieren Hazelton, Cuevas more than recouped the recent purchase price when winning the 1200 metres Macquarie Valley Couriers Maiden Handicap. Under very strong riding by Andrew Banks, Cuevas ($5) held off Dumbarton Castle (Will Stanley, $10) by a long neck with the leader Kubaba (Wendy Peel, $2 fav.) a close third.
Picnic jockeys tussled for cup points at Grenfell SEVERAL of the leading contenders for the picnic championship final later this year clashed on Saturday (April 15) and an exciting fi nish eventuated in the 1400 metres Lane Cove Legends-Doug Allen Memorial Grenfell Picnic Cup. Racing before a big crowd at Grenfell, Bobby’s Secret and Namarari were the early leaders with the more favoured runners camped off the pace in the cup. Leeton-based Breanna Bourke, who won the recent Bourke Picnic Cup on All Words, brought the Dean Mirfi n, Bathurst-trained Our Blue Moon ($5) with a welltimed run to beat Madison Point (Ricky Blewitt, $3.60) by

Cricket Club’s climb from the ashes, is recognised with major award win By LUKE WILLIAMS CRICKET NSW has awarded Narromine District Junior Cricket Association a prestigious award, after the volunteer committee built the club up from next to nothing in the last few years. The local cricketers won the “Community Club of the Year” gong which was presented at Cricket NSW’s recent Annual Awards night, held at Doltone House in Sydney. Narromine District Junior Cricket Association Secretary, Hollie Cusack, told the Narromine Star: “We didn’t even know that we were in the run-
ning for it. So we were very excited and shocked”. Ms Cusack said that junior cricketers had been playing in Dubbo for a number of seasons, as there had been no junior club in town for nearly five years. “We saw good numbers coming-up, and we wanted our own club,” Ms Cusack said. “We had a season in Dubbo, and we just thought, ‘why not play for our town?’. There was that factor of playing with pride for your town,” she added. The club’s rise form the ashes, she explains, was very much a team effort.
“We had a group of really keen dads that were really good,” she said. “Our club’s progress happened just word-of-mouth, then our numbers just seemed to be get-ting better.” With a strong cricketing pedigree, he community simply rediscovered its love of the nation-al game. “Obviously, we are a proud cricketing town, we have Glenn McGrath coming from this town, and it shows if you work hard enough, you can get to the elite level,” Ms Cusack said. Since the club was rekindled, several of their U/14 teams,
Keen junior netballers get a “Rule Refresher” By LUKE WILLIAMS NARROMINE juniors recently benefited from a “Rules Workshop” given by the top grade umpires in the region. National “A Badge” Umpire, Shelley Hutchinson, along with Dubbo Netball Association Umpire Development Officer, Michelle Ensor, actively-engaged an eager group of Narromine players and coaches in an umpiring clinic at Narromine last weekend. Under 11’s Coach, Clare Gil, said that the course was great for many of the young charges, some of whom had not played fully competitive games before. She said it was particularly useful for those transitioning from the under 9’s where the oncourt umpires double as coaches and not all the rules are enforced. “We had a lot of our junior players doing a refresher rules at the start season,” she said. “It was great to have umpires out from Dubbo, to show the stu-
dents what the rules are and what the sanctions are,” Ms Gill said, adding: “It was great for many of the players, who are keen to umpire as they get older.” Ms Hutchinson, who is also Dubbo Netball Association’s Umpire Convenor, was thrilled at the turnout. “It was great to see the questions that the young players are asking, and seeing how inter-ested they are in the fi ner points of the game,” she said. In a special presentation on the day, Narromine player and umpire Jess Brown, was also presented with her National “C Badge”. The group heard that Jess is a committed club member and has worked consistently on her skills in the senior grades. Ms Gill added that she was excited about the season ahead: “it’s great to be part of a club, which is so supportive of its players and proactive in the community,” she concluded.
have made the semi-finals. Cricket NSW Far West Cricket Manager, Matt Ellis told the Narromine Star. “I was thoroughly impressed with the way, Narromine Cricket has re-built its playing base. It’s given cricket in Narromine an identity again,” he said. “They’ve set-up a really good environment; the U/14 players, for instance, help-out with the younger group. Then some of the older kids, are also feeding into the senior club. So, there is a really great relationship between the junior club and the senior club,” he added.
Cricket NSW CEO Lee Germon, said the Award night was an opportunity to recognise, not only the on-field performances of NSW players over the summer, but also the wonderful vol-unteers that help inspire people to play and love cricket. “Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organisation, and this is an appropriate forum to acknowledge that,” he said. Ms Cusack said, even now, the club is always looking for new players. “We welcome anybody, any ability, boys and girls,” she concluded.
Count-back needed to decide winners By NORM LEWIS LAST Wednesday, 11 players faced the starter’s whistle for the weekly for Gerries Golf Com-petition. The count-back however, was needed to decide the ultimate winner as Chris Harding and Mal Fraser were both equal on 27 points; really good scores which indicate that the Narro-mine Course is in top-condition. The count-back ultimately declared Mal as the eventual winner on the day, so he collects the trophy, but also incurs the wrath of the handicapper “Pom”, as the second placegetter only loses two shots for his efforts. There was also a tie to decide the “NAGA” comp between Brian Masling and Ron Jackson (who was back for another game). “Maso”, with his worst score for a while, claimed the NAGA prize, but there was no winner in the NTP (nearest-the-pin) comp – this jackpot must really be worth winning by now! Once again, only one Pool game was played with Ron Jackson and Terry Willis up against Bob Fletcher and Chris Harding. The latter pairing were in front for the whole game, leaving “Fletch” to sink the black ball and claim victory leaving Bob Fletcher and Chris Harding, the Pool Champs for the week. On Wednesday this week, the Gerries played the front-nine for their weekly comp. Players please note, however, there will be no Gerries Comp on Wednesday, April 26, due to a prior booking at the Golf Club. That’s all for this week – see you at the 19th.
