Local Ag Show ladies at Dubbo for Info Day and Gala Dinner By GINNI BROWN A DELEGATION from the Narromine Committee of the AgShows NSW Young Women competition and Narromine Show Society, headed to Dubbo recently to attend the “Celebrating Ag Shows NSW information day and Gala Dinner”. Attendees spent the day and evening with attendees from other show societies from across NSW, to discuss issues that ranged from volunteer retention to cyber-security and committee governance. “Show committees across the State have had a challenging few years, with several years of severe drought running into the challenges of the pandemic and widespread cancellations” Sara McGilchrist from Narromine Agricultural Show Society said. “However, we have seen a resurgence in interest and attendance both at our local show, and at our amazing Show Ball, which this year was sold out in two weeks,” she added. Sarah Weir, Keiley Noble, Maddy Preston, and Sara, all attended and felt the day was extremely valuable, both in terms of information and connections with other show societies. The Narromine Show is being held across two days in September, and is sure to be bigger and better than ever. Narromine is also hosting the 2024 Zone Final for the AgShows NSW Young Woman Competition.

Dolly Parton Festival to return in 2023! By ANDREW TARRY THE inaugural Dolly Parton Festival on the October long weekend in 2022 was a massive hit. Such was the success of the festival, and its positive and lasting impact on the community, that plans for the follow up event in 2023 are underway. The 2022 event was many years in the making. With COVID-19 delaying the initial festival back in 2020. Fast forward to 2022 and over 1200 people attended the main concert with many thousands attending the street party. Locals who attended the festival will remember that the main street was closed for the morning as entertainers performed at the central stage, checked

out the street markets that were installed for the festival, while local businesses welcomed visitors. The main event at the Narromine Golf Club was bouncing as almost six-hours of live music was played to the Dolly theme by various artists. Meanwhile, local promotions were held including a Dolly-themed children’s movie night and Sunday breakfast. The event in 2022 cost around $120,000 to create and facilitate. The festival had the backing of the NSW state government, who supported the weekend through the ‘Regional Events Acceleration Fund’. The Narromine Shire Council also provided their support and assistance to the organising committee.

The 2023 event is being planned to be even bigger than its predecessor. According to a report in the council’s June business paper, “community feedback has been included to improve on last year’s event and many more businesses are planning support and additional community groups will be assisting. Events are being planned for Thursday through to Sunday with the main events to be held on September 30, 2023”. “In 2023 our local pubs and clubs are planning to host events in the lead up to the main event and the stage planned for Saturday morning will be better defined. In 2023 the committee are also offering a camping experience for participants.”

The committee is budgeting a similar cost amount to last year’s $120,000. This year however, with the absence of the ‘Regional Events Acceleration Fund’, that income will need to be raised from ticket sales and sponsorship. The committee has applied to the state government for some support via the Regional Tourism Fund which can be used for marketing. The committee has also reached out to the council and asked for ﬁ nancial assistance. The council has allocated $20,000 from the events budget towards the festival. Should the festival receive its required funding and is able to go ahead, it promises to be a spectacular weekend.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, June 22, 2023

Local mayors: “What about triple road-trains?” By DAVID DIXON WHILE Transport for NSW described last week’s heavy vehicle forum at Narromine as “very successful”, two local leaders were not quite so complimentary. Both Narromine Shire Council mayor, Craig Davies and his Bogan Shire Council counterpart, mayor Glen Neill, said that they had been disappointed at the lack of detailed discussion on the very-topical local issue of allowing triple road-trains to travel on central west roads. Transport for NSW and NSW Farmers hosted the series of forums across the central west and western region to improve safety for heavy vehicle operators and farmers. The aim of the sessions was to give heavy vehicle operators and local farming communities the opportunity to discuss relevant topics and receive upto-date information around compliances, permits and practicing safe work habits. “The forum held in Narromine on Thursday, June 15 was very successful, with positive feedback from attendees,” a Transport for NSW spokesperson said. “The forum provided a platform for attendees to ask faceto-face questions of experts regarding safety on the road network for heavy vehicles and machinery,” they added. The presentation involved representatives from transport, NSW Farmers, Essential Energy, Safework NSW, Rural Advisory Mental Health, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, and NSW Police. “Feedback from attendees included questions around electricity and farm safety, and road access,” the spokesperson revealed. “Thirty-eight people were in attendance,” they concluded. Cr Davies, however, described the event as a bit of a waste of time, with a lot of general advice on transport regulations and rules, with notenough speciﬁcs on relevant

PHOTOS: TRANSPORT FOR NSW. local subject matter. “It was not quite what I expected, it was more transport-related work, health safety issues,” he said. “We had Transport for NSW talking about NHVR (national heavy vehicle registration), the ﬁ re brigade, Essential Energy telling you how to avoid overhead power lines and what to do if your vehicle gets entangled with them… these forums are always useful for essential hints,” he added. The transport issue of the moment, though, allowing the giant three-trailer trucks to travel through local shires, was ignored. “I was hoping to elicit some more topical scenarios, like allowing the triple road trains to terminate at Trangie,” Cr Davies said. “At the moment, they have to terminate at Bourke and move down to doubles… they travel all the Queensland roads as triples, but NSW roads, which are better, are not up to it,” he said. A retired rural contractor, he believes that a whole range of mechanical and electrical innovations are now available

Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

to ensure their greater safety and stability in more builtup areas. He believes, however, that the forum was typical of Transport for NSW’s riskaverse approach to reforms to the sector. “If you could get the road trains into Trangie, they are 300 kilometres closer to Sydney, but still a long way from Dubbo,” he said. “There’s a real call and demand for the use of the latest technology on our roads, but it’s just being ignored,” he added. He said that this approach typiﬁed the lack of vision needed to overcome the approval bottlenecks that bedevil economic development in western NSW. “This risk-aversion has permeated the whole culture of the public service in NSW, particularly in the departments of transport and planning. “I mean, we’ve been waiting seven months just to get a temporary service station in Trangie, so that people can buy petrol locally!” Cr Davies said. Bogan Shire Council mayor Glenn Neil, largely shared

these sentiments, saying that the forum provided some good general advice, but ignored the pressing issues facing the region. “There was some good information from people on avoiding overhead power lines, but it was mostly about safety and compliance,” he said. “We would have appreciated talk of ‘triples’ in this region and getting them to Dubbo,” he added. He believes that, current multi-million dollar upgrades of the Mitchell Highway, and new safety features, should see discussion of relaxing current restrictions against the triple road-trains in the region. “I think when the work is completed between Narromine and Dubbo, I can’t see why they can’t be doing that,” Cr Neil said. “I know there is a perception that triples wobble, but there’s a whole range of new technologies to reduce this problem,” he added. He believes that a pilot scheme allowing the vehicles all the way to Dubbo, is one realistic means of testing if the plan is viable.

“The only way to findout is to run a decent trial on it and see what everyone thinks, I think that would be reasonable. “We’d also need a media campaign to inform people on it, so that they know what is happening,” he added. Cr Neil believes that having fewer, larger transport trucks on western NSW roads, had a lot of potential safety beneﬁts. “They say that, it is only takes the time pass an extra two seconds to overtake,” he said “In the end, it may be better to have bigger loads, and fewer trucks on the road,” Cr Neil concluded. Co-hosts of the forum, NSW Farmers, have added their weight to calls for reforms in the sector, saying that rural and regional road and rail needs to be urgently looked at as part of a Federal freight and supply chain review. Issues such as the pandemic and war in Ukraine had exposed Australia’s supply chain shortcomings, while recent extreme weather had wreaked havoc on local roads and railways, NSW Farmers business, economics and trade committee chair, John Lowe said. “We used to say ‘trucks ruin roads’, but now it’s the other way around,” Mr Lowe said. “Australia produces some of the world’s best food and ﬁbre, but if we can’t get it from farm gate to dinner plate we’ve got a big problem,” he added. A national review of supply chains and freight handling had been slated for 2024, but federal transport minister, Catherine King, said it had been brought forward as it was ‘critical’ to the economy. “NSW Farmers welcomes this fast-tracked review into our freight and supply chain security, and we hope to get some meaningful action sooner than later,” Mr Lowe said. “Farmers want to get on with the business of farming without having to worry about transport and supply chain bottlenecks,” he concluded.

Vale, Tim Cooper: Our much-loved special friend Narromine identity and sales rep at the Narromine Star, Tim Cooper, passed away recently. His death has been a shock to the small team at this newspaper and we miss him dearly. Here, his closest work friends share their fond memories as a tribute to Tim. By SHARON BONTHUYS AND ZOE RENDALL TIM, Tim, where do we begin? Like all good stories, at the start, of course. The first day we met you at the Narromine Star, with your “hi darls”, your flashy suit – which you soon realised after the stares you received was a bit much for downtown Narromine – you quickly had us laughing. The fact you jumped aboard the Dolly Parton Festival committee on your very first day in town just showed us how committed you were to making a go of your new life in Narromine. We also soon discovered that you were very, very naughty. Soooooo naughty! You never missed an opportunity to turn a comment or statement into a double entendre or off-colour joke, and don’t get us started on your utter disregard for political correctness. Or your offkey singing of random songs and commercials, some of which you knew well and others you didn’t, but attempted anyway, and some you made very rude! Nor did you care about the unprintable comments you would shout out when either of us headed into the kitchen at work. Telling the world that we were going to the loo and what we intended to do in there was a bit embarrassing. Especially on the occasions when our co-tenants the Inland Rail team were in the Hub, or other occasional tenants were in the kitchen making their coffees... We grew to love you anyway, psychedelic shirts, bad Dad jokes, thigh high boots, and all. It didn’t take long for you to prove that you had the gift of the sales gab, as advertising space quickly filled in our little paper. For every naysayer brushing off the value of newspaper advertising across the communities, you found more converts elsewhere. You bargained. You did deals. You made friends all over the shire and in some really unlikely places. Above all, you did good! You helped our little newspaper win a Highly Commended award for best paid newspaper at the Country Press NSW awards last year. Go you! We will never forget the trips our team took together to Trangie, Dubbo and Tomingley, especially those in your air-condition-less silver “crashmobile”. It wasn’t immediately apparent that the ends of the car were held together with duct tape until you got close, because the tape just happened to match the colour of the car. We’re lucky we never had an accident given your penchant

Clockwise from above: Tim Cooper at his work desk (he much preferred going out and chatting with people); with work friends Zoe Rendall (middle) and Sharon Bonthuys; and spreading his wings in the Narromine Star office where his fun attitude was very infectious! PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. for driving with little regard for the speed limit while talking incessantly and looking at the front seat passenger... Is it any wonder the “Jesus handles” were whittled down to nothing in the front and back seats as we hung on for dear life! Which was why we didn’t let you drive us around that much. We can’t thank you enough for spoiling us rotten with the many treats you purchased courtesy of the seemingly bottomless Bank of Dad. I don’t know if your Dad, the delightful Barry who we met a few times in the office, realised what you were doing, but those hot chocolates and cappuccinos you bought us were very much appreciated. As was our last lunch together, the Christmas meal at The Abbey in Narromine. That was a very special memory for us, as was your attempt at singing Christmas carols as you wandered around Nyngan with Zoe. Another special memory was the day you turned Narromine into Dollymine ahead of the Dolly Parton Festival in September 2022. You boldly traipsed around Narromine dressed in drag so we could photograph you as a promo for the festival. Your thigh-high boots were certainly not made for walking, we discovered, having to

hold you up at every opportunity as we moved around town! Not only did we manage to snag a photo with Narromine Mayor Cr Craig Davies outside the council chambers, but we also managed to get some fantastic photos of you at Ezmay’s Hair Bar blow-drying your Dolly-blonde wig, trying on clothes at Style 33 boutique, and sampling the ﬂowers at the Narromine Florist. Somehow we managed to not get kicked out of Coles when we commandeered a shopping trolley and put you in it. You became Dolly in a Trolley. The BWS staffer could barely contain her laughter when you posed with a bottle of vodka

and became Dolly in a Trolley with a Stolli. And posing in the backyard of the Hub with an umbrella, you were Dolly with a Brolly. Awesomeness! We remember debating with you whether we’d get arrested for dressing up the famous Glenn McGrath statue in Tom Perry Park with your pink cowboy hat and borrowed feather boa in broad daylight, but we did it anyway. “Bugger them,” we recall you declaring as you fought off your fear of heights and clambered up onto the statue where you draped yourself around Glenn McGrath’s legs. Fortunately, no police were around that day and we were not arrested. The inaugural Dolly Festival went off without a hitch and your many years of event experience helped contribute to its success. Well done, you! You always said you were “never good with emotions or gifts”, but you did a pretty good job of both. Just your being in the office brightened our day, and Zoe especially always looked forward to seeing you come through the door and ﬁll the office with your personality. It certainly did light up the room. We are sad to think that the dreams you held so dearly will now never be realised. Your plans to return to Greece, where you had lived for so many years. Your plans

to start a boutique bus shopping tour for the old ladies in retirement homes in Dubbo to visit Narromine and Trangie to shop until they dropped, which Zoe was going to help you with. Your plans to try to bring your much lauded gin festival event from the coast to the country, although you weren’t too sure if farmers in the central west actually drank gin... You made your way into many people’s hearts and into some people’s families during your time in Narromine – we know the Havercrofts were very important to you. People who grieve your loss as deeply as your own family. People like your neighbour and good friend Sammi Jo, and the Rendalls. Knowing how much you wanted to see the ﬁlming of Hard Quiz in Dubbo on May 6, the Rendalls bought you a ticket to the show. Sadly, you didn’t get to see the show because you had left us a few days before. The seat sat there empty, a reminder that if things had’ve been different, you would have been enjoying the show with them. And you’d still be with us now. Tim, Tim, where do we end? We wish we didn’t have to, but know you’ll always be our much loved special friend. – Love from Sharon and Zoe xx

Tim Cooper: Deeply loved and always will be T

IMOTHY JON COOPER was born on June 6, 1974, to Barry and Lee Cooper, joining his siblings Patrick, Maree and Peta. The family was living in Ballina but in 1979 Barry was transferred in the National Bank to Dubbo and Tim started school at St Laurence’s Infants School. Tim’s older brother Patrick recalls that they were a family who spent their holidays with extended family. “This included long car trips to Wollongong for Christmas, camping holidays at Iluka, and meeting family in Newnes for Easter where we camped out, boiled the billy and tramped around in the bush,” Patrick said. “On one camping trip to Newnes our car was a VW Beetle, and so we packed it up with tents, sleeping bags and everything else, and Tim and Peta were consigned to the luggage space behind the rear seat for the trip down and back. It was totally safe, because there was so much stuff packed around them – they had no need of any seatbelts. “Tim was very bright and highly capable, although as he and his classmates moved to St John’s College in 1986, he spent his high school years more focused on sport and socialising than academia. “As well as being a talented tennis player, he also represented the school in squash, cross country, basketball and swimming. “Tim was a gifted swimmer and serious about attending training no matter what. In his early teens, he stole Barry’s moped to get to swimming training early one morning, picking up his friend, Paul Yeo, on the way. They came home accompanied by the police who had found them riding home in the early morning, shirts open, ﬂapping in the wind. “During his high school years, he spent a lot of time at the Dubbo Pool, being a lifeguard, running the canteen and turnstiles, before working his way up to the best job of all – supervising the waterslide, which apparently involved sitting on a chair at the top of the tower and saying ‘go’ at the appropriate interval, whilst maintaining his tan. “He also taught kids how to swim for many years for the Department of Sport and Recreation and also privately in

Tim’s family kindly compiled his life story for the Narromine Star from the eulogies presented during his service. our backyard pool, where he was sometimes observed calling out instructions from the banana lounge. “Barry and Tim for many years travelled to Sydney to play tennis together in Country Week and they won the Western Districts Father and Son tennis championships when Tim was about 15. “In 1989, while in Year 10, Tim received a Sporting Blue and was named Sportsman of the Year and he rounded out his HSC year as Captain for La Salle sporting house. “Tim had a brief fl irtation with university but it wasn’t for him and he launched his stellar hospitality career at Dubbo’s coolest eatery at the time, Café Monet. “As we all know, he could talk his way into anything, but he explained that the key part of the interview process was a practical task, the making of a cappuccino. As he had no real experience (despite assurances given to the contrary) he managed to distract the owner, and placed a whipped egg white on top, which apparently resulted in one of the best ‘frothed’ cappuccinos ever seen. “Luckily it was not tasted, Tim started the job straight away, and so began a long and successful career in hospitality,” Patrick said. Tim was particularly close to his sister Peta Cooper, and they were housemates in Sydney during their 20s. “We had some of the best days of my life in that Sydney flat, including one legendary party that was themed ‘Under the Sea’. Tim transformed our tiny flat into a whale’s stomach, complete with an entire rib cage he’d constructed out of chicken wire and paper mâché,” Peta said. “When the guests arrived, he burst from the bedroom dressed as King Neptune in a sequined cape, crown and bejewelled codpiece. “Tim became super fit and in 1995 happily joined his mate Julien Jackel and his brother Damien on a cycling trip through Europe. The lack of parties soon became too much for Tim, and he set about trying to sabotage Damien’s bike pedal instead. He was final-

ly successful and was able to hurl the dreaded bike into the river. “Learning nothing from this experience he also went on a trek to Nepal with Julian. He sent home photos of his feet that were utterly ruined by wearing boots he’d bought the day before they left, and was bitterly disappointed that Julien falling down a hill didn’t mean they’d get medically evacuated by helicopter. “A year later he moved to Greece where he was a waiter and also taught aerobics. He wrote an application, supposedly by his friends, to a magazine to be the European hunk of the month. The fi rst they heard of it was when they were called to give a glowing review of him. Because of course he’d won! “Returning to Australia he lived in Melbourne and later Brisbane, where he continued his hospitality and event management career, as well as his love of parties. “I never met a man with so many feather boas.” She recalls being sent a photo of Tim by one of their cousins at a party where someone asked him where he got his outlandish outfit, to which he replied, ‘In my cupboard.’ “But perhaps the biggest role Tim played was a self-confident and assured man. Tim lived his life in a time and place where being gay wasn’t welcomed. “He suffered many blows, physically, verbally and mentally.

“And perhaps this is what I admire most about Tim. He was the most brave person I know to live his life with the determination to have fun and make us smile no matter what. “Tim was my brother, my constant companion and best friend for the majority of my life. It gives me great comfort that he is no longer battling his demons. Instead, I will think of him and smile and know how lucky I am to have had him in my life,” Peta said. Tim’s eldest sister, Maree Barnes, remembers him as an extremely smart, talented business person who built a professional career in hospitality, event management and business development. “He moved to Newcastle in 2010 where he wrangled bridezillas in the Hunter and delivered huge events such as Newcastle’s Winter Heat festival which attracted 10,000 people. “He was skilled at writing and presenting proposals and successfully applying for grants funding, to bring his visions to life. “Working at Newcastle Now, he seemed to know absolutely everyone who operated a business in the Newcastle CBD and his ability to network, connect people and bring the most interesting and creative ideas to life was something to behold. “There are lots of community gardens, murals and public art around Newcastle that exist because of Tim. He made everything more colourful and interesting! “Anyone who knew Tim, knew he had a huge heart. Tim also knew all of the homeless people in the Newcastle CBD by name and gave them his time and respect as well. He

Tim shared his marketing expertise to the Dolly Festival, joining the organising committee soon after he arrived in Narromine. He even dressed in “Dolly attire” to help promote the event.

volunteered for a soup kitchen and became an advocate for better services. “Tim was an ideas man – a strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial streak. He could identify a gap in the market and deliver what people didn’t even know they were missing. “He took his networking skills to Narromine, working for the Narromine Star where he quickly immersed himself into the community and learnt the newspaper game, regularly travelling to Warren, Trangie and beyond. “Narromine was a fresh start for Tim and he found the community very welcoming. “He sang the town’s praises to anyone who would listen. “He was an integral member of Narromine’s fi rst Dolly Parton Festival, and he attended three different events on Melbourne Cup Day 2021, where he won Best Dressed Male at all three. “Tim loved to entertain. He genuinely lit up the room and brought the sparkle everywhere he went! “He was absolutely adored by his family, his friends and our friends too.

She was his staunchest ally through thick and thin. Tim would come to Dubbo for the weekend, fi ll the pantry, cook meals and sit up together watching British detective shows and chatting late into the night. “Tim had his demons. He was a vibrant, colourful, gloriously sparkly, shiny starshaped peg that didn’t always fit into the boring round hole that society expected. “He struggled to feel that he fitted in, that he was enough, that he was worthy of being loved. “Tim, you were more than enough, you were deeply loved and you always will be!” Maree said.

CONTAINERS

THE much-loved annual Trangie Junior Judging Day will be on again in the July school holidays. Held at the Trangie Agricultural Research Station, this year the program includes six sections: beef cattle, merino sheep, meat sheep (Border Leicesters and Poll Dorsets), merino ﬂeeces, cotton, and grains. The format of the day is set up so that each competitor participates in all judging sections within their age group: Seniors (15 to 24 years), Juniors (10 to 15 years), and Sub-Juniors (under 10 years, who may have a parent to help them). The facilities at the NSW DPI’s Trangie Ag Research Centre will again be generously available for the event. The cattle section has a perfect open grassy area with yards and plenty of room for the many competitors. The Trangie Judging Day draws keen competitors from not only the Trangie district but surrounding areas as well- often from Warren, Narromine, Nyngan, Nevertire, Tottenham, Parkes, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gulargambone, and Orange districts. Over many years the winners of the Senior Section (15 to 24 years) at Trangie have gone on to win competitions at regional and then state level (at Sydney’s Royal Easter Show) after gaining valuable experience from

the Trangie Judging Day. Many of the experienced overjudges for each section have been judges and stewards at Sydney and numerous local shows. Sub-Junior and Junior groups are given a judging overview in each section to boost their knowledge before judging each class. This year Sub-Juniors will participate in a learning session rather than the competition of the older age groups. Older competitors have a chance of seeing their name engraved on silver trophies with a long history, many dating back to the 1940s, with Trangie district identities’ names still visible as previous Junior Judging Champions. This year NSW Farmers will be donating cash prizes for the pointscore winners. The full day’s program starts with registration at 8.30am, at the Cattle Section at the Trangie Ag Research Centre. The entry fee includes a barbecue lunch, while extra snacks and drinks will be on sale too. Organisers (and the kids!) rely on competitors’ parents kindly providing a home-baked slice, cake, or packet of biscuits for morning tea. Don’t forget your winter woollies as it WILL BE COLD! All competitors are to bring their own clipboard and pen. Organisers would also greatly appreciate any parents that able to stay and help. See Classiﬁeds

Thousands of families in the Dubbo electorate, and across regional NSW, rely on the vouchers to enrol their children in sporting and creative activities. Before the election, Chris Minns promised to fund Active Kids vouchers, and after months of uncertainty families across NSW are paying for Labor’s broken promises. I’m really disappointed that

Environmental bill a negative for farming communities I GAVE my view last week on the Nature Repair Market Bill 2023, which is designed to create biodiversity credits for landholders in a similar mechanism to energy credits. The speeches from citybased members of parliament on topics like this, who live in completely altered environments, are breathtaking in their naivete. They put the Whether you need to purchase new tools, cover fuel or car maintenance, or pay for additional study, these scholarships have helped people across our region overcome personal barriers to ﬁ nish their apprenticeships and follow their trade calling. For more information the NSW education website. APPLICATIONS are currently open for the Community War Memorials Fund, and I encourage those eligible to apply! The purpose of the fund is

burden of environmental responsibility onto agricultural communities in places like my electorate without any recognition of the fact that farmers actually produce the food, fibre, and resources that they rely on. There are some falsehoods in the philosophy of this bill that I object to, one being that locking up land is good for the environment – it’s not – in fact often the reverse is true. I also fi nd the idea that land used for agricultural purposes degrades the environment to be a falsehood – from personal experience as a farmer, the environment can benefit greatly from good farming practices such as rotational grazing and zero-till farming. I’m opposed to this bill. I’m sorry I have to be, because in its original form as put up by the coalition government it would have been a positive one. Now I’m afraid to say it is potentially dangerous in the longer term for this country, and I no longer will support it.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND SIX

Swans fly over Jets, in two close results

Gilgandra Panthers’ Ash Hazelton being confronted by the Coonamble Bears defence. Hazelton scored two tries in Gilgandra’s 36-12 win. PHOTO: STEPHEN BASHAM. By BRYSON LUFF THE Narromine Jets travelled to Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval last Saturday, with full intentions of bringing home the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup in League Tag and gaining a win in First Grade against the Swans. It is history now that they achieved neither, with the green-and-whites taking the honours in both games, beginning with a thrilling defence of the Skinner Cup in the opening match. Both of these teams were undefeated and on equal footing at the top of the table going into the highly-anticipated clash, and what a game it turned-out to be. The ﬁ nal score, however, showed the Swannettes scor-

ing three tries to two to win by four points, with the ﬁ nal score being 16-12. Much to the rejoicing of their legion of supporters, the Swans First Grade side followed suit, with a win that they desperately-needed after losing their two previous outings to Cobar and Baradine respectively. Their 38-30 victory drew them level with the Jets on 14 points on the competition ladder, sitting just two points behind Cobar and four points adrift the competition leaders, the Gulgong Bull Terriers. The Terriers remain undefeated, but had to ﬁght hard to secure a 26-16 win over the Coonabarabran Unicorns in Coonabarabran. Their unbeaten status will remain intact

until at least Round Eight, because they will enjoy the bye this coming weekend before taking on the Swans. The Baradine Magpies made it back-to-back victories when they accounted for the Binnaway Bombshells 42-22 at The Crater, and they will be looking to extend that winning streak this Saturday when they are at home to the Gilgandra Panthers. The Panthers got over the top of their arch-rivals, the Coonamble Bears, 36 to 12, in front of a sizeable home crowd. The Panthers got away to a good start, and went on with it in the second half against a Bears outﬁt that was done no favours in terms of injuries suffered throughout the game. On Sunday, the Binnaway Bombshells youth league team played its way into the Grand Final, when they downed the Cobar Roosters 30 points to 26 at The Crater. The Youth League Grand Final is being played between the Narromine Jets and the Bombshells at Narromine this Saturday afternoon kicking off at 2.30pm. The Jets will also be hosting the Coonabarabran Unicorns in a Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Round Seven ﬁ xture, with the First Grade clash between the Jets and the Unicorns, a Boronia Cup Challenge game, set to kick off at 1pm, preceding the Youth League Grand Final.

CWA RECIPE

BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS

Jellied Rhubarb

Jesus is: “a surprising king; who’s above temptation”

Contributed by NARROMINE CWA

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the Devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to Him and said: “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread”. Jesus answered: “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’.” (Matthew 4:1--4) SOMETIMES, we are tempted to do things we know we aren’t supposed to do. Maybe you’ve felt tempted to lie so you don’t get in to trouble, take something that is not yours because you really, really wanted it, or say mean things because someone said something mean to you. Temptation to do what’s wrong usually comes disguised as something that seems right. Mean people don’t deserve nice words back, right? WRONG! That’s what Satan wants us to think. He makes things seem okay. But don’t be fooled! Jesus faced the same temptation that we face, but He re-

Ingredients: 500g rhubarb 1 cup of water 1/2 cup of orange juice Rind of 1 orange 1 tablespoons of strawberry jellies Method: Wash rhubarb, cut it into small lengths. Cook slowly with water, orange juice and rind until tender. Drain off liquid and measure, make up to 2 cups each with extra orange juice if necessary. Add jelly crystals, stir until dissolved. Stir in rhubarb. When it is starting to set, pour into 4 cup moulds. Chill. Serve with lightly whipped cream and ice cream, or custard.

sisted all of them. He didn’t fall for Satan’s deceptive tricks. Instead, every time Satan tempted Him, Jesus responded with words from the BIBLE, saying, “It is written....” and so Satan left Jesus alone. Jesus never once wavered proving himself faithful to God. If Jesus was tempted, anyone can be. Because Jesus overcame temptation, if we trust in Him and ask for his power and presence, we too can stand ﬁ rm in the face of temptation, Knowing the Word of God will be your weapon. ”After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the East came to Jerusalem and asked” “Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship Him.” Remember for hundreds of years, God’s people had been enslaved by different nations. After suffering constantly, they were tired, frustrated, and worn-out. They begged God to send them a deliverer. They longed for someone to rescue them.

When Jesus was born, the people thought he was the answer to their prayers. They became excited for their freedom from slavery. But they thought Jesus would rescue them by force, military might, or power. They weren’t expecting Him to, DIE HUMBLY ON A CROSS. The deliverance Jesus brought wasn’t from slavery to other nations. Jesus offered freedom from sin, Satan, and death. Jesus is often surprising. He doesn’t always give us what we want. But in His wisdom, he gives us exactly what we need. We might think we need to be saved from hard situations, but our need for salvation from sin, Satan, and death is much greater. AND JESUS DELIVERS US. Prayer: “Dear Jesus, thank you for being a King who conquered sin and death and for facing temptation and triumphing over it for us. Please continue to help us all to say no to sin. AMEN.” By REVEREND BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE, ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF BATHURST

Gorillas steamroll students, on the big Ladies Day out!

By GINNI BROWN

PHOTOS: PEDR CORDEROY.

CALE Oval was in perfect condition for a record turnout Ladies Day on the weekend with more than 150 lovely local lasses attending, and a huge crowd also in the stands. “it was wonderful to have all the playing group running the bar, canteen and marquee to put on a great day out for all our female supporters,” Club Captain, Hugh Browning, said. All fund raised will go to the Narromine Cancer Support Group. Both grades had wins over CSU Bathurst; with second grade running away with a 79–3 thumping of the Students. Special mention to Aar-

on Barry and Isaac Brown, who put on a CSU jumper to make-up numbers for the Students to take the field. Player points went to Peter Treseder, Benny Peters, and Jeremy Montgomery. First Grade was another great hit-out after two weeks of no rugby and great preparation for the second half of the season. The fi nal score was 34–3 with the boys digging deep after a red card early-on taking them to 14 players, with a yellow card in the second half, then seeing them down to 13, but still managing to keep the Students from grabbing a “meat pie”. Euan Truscott was the fi rst try-scorer of the match seeing

the lucky purchaser Dan Battishall take home $900 from the pre-season Calcutta. Justin Clarke and Alex Heap scored in the ﬁ rst half, and Will Campbell and Harry Vincent getting tries in the second to ﬁ nalise the game. Player points went to Heap, Vincent, and Bill Hamilton, after stand-out performances. First Grade are currently equal second on the ladder and head to Mudgee this weekend to challenge the Wombats for the number one ladder position. Second Grade are still undefeated and looking forward to another big hit-out at Mudgee to maintain their run. More photos on the next page.

Double for Harding, with wins in the golf and pool Contributed by NORM LEWIS THE weekly Gerries Golf Competition on Wednesday last, June 14, was played in very cold conditions but, despite the weather, a total of 13 hardy golfers faced the starter. In last week’s column, we read about the player who went from “NAGA” winner one week, to comp winner the next! This week, we witnessed the same player go from comp winner to NAGA winner again… In Wednesday’s comp, Chris Harding (who was brought-up in cold weather), shot a great score of 23 points to collect the major prize. Terry Willis retuned to form for him to collect second place with 22 points. Yes — you have guessed

right — it was Bob Richardson who carded 12 points on his new handicap to collect the NAGA prize There was no nearest-the-pin winner. After a short spell, there was one game of pool between Ross King and Chris Harding playing Bob Fletcher and Terry Willis. Harding was having a ﬁeld day, as he played really well to lead Ross to victory, for them to claim the title of Pool Champs for the week. This win also gave Harding a well-deserved double of the golf and the pool. With the Gerries Comp for June 21 being played after deadline, results will appear in next week’s ﬁ ne issue of the Star. That’s all for this week — hope there is a change in the weather for our aging golfers!

Farewell event in July for Steve Buttsworth ANOTHER interesting week up at the “Bowly”, with a couple of outings for our social bowls players. On Thursday afternoon, we had a handy ﬁeld of 18 go-round with the days’ winners being Adam Jermyn, Dwayne Faro, and Bob Davis. The runners-up were Carl More, Des Lincoln, and Danny Carnevale Sunday’s chook run saw some 14 soldiers take to the battlefield where, at days-end, Grant Pallier, Bruce Powyer, and William Wilkie (Esq), were afforded the day’s top Prize. Our Gub Thorne Day is fast-approaching, and those who haven’t nominated for this event on Saturday, August 19, should really jump in and do so, as there aren’t that many spots left. Cost for the day and all the info you need to know, can be found on the nomination sheet on the Club’s Noticeboard. Steve Buttsworth, is retiring on Sunday July 2, and to help send him off in style, the Club will be having an appreciation bowls game, luncheon, and presentation morning to honor and recognise his service to Narromine Bowling Club. Originally, we were going to have a barbecue lunch, but the Board, in agreement

with the kitchen, have decided to make the luncheon now a buffet affair. This will allow the volunteers to enjoy the day with family and friends and not be hitched-up to any catering jobs. The day will also be a “Free Bowls” morning with no green fees, and lunch has been pegged at only $20 per head for adults. A nomination sheet has been posted on the Noticeboard for attendees, and all are welcome to join in celebrating Steve’s remarkable achievement — to help with the catering, please put your name and guests on the sheet, so we can ensure there is plenty of “tucker”: A few other things happening around the Club, includes nomination sheets for the B-Grade Singles, the Consistency Singles, and the Men’s Pennant, all available on the Club Noticeboard. So, if you are eligible or have an inkling to be part of any or all of these events, we suggest you don’t delay a trip to the Noticeboard to plonk your name down. Well, that it for me this week, a pretty quiet week, but no doubt still plenty of action coming up at the “Bowly”, hope you can be part of it.

Mann and Williams crowned Men’s Foursomes Champions Contributed by NORM LEWIS LAST Sunday, a total of 26 golfers were on hand for the 2023 Men’s Foursomes Championships played over 36 gruelling holes. At the hit off time of 10am, the weather was ﬁ ne and cool and the ﬁeld was away on the course, which was in the usual good condition for Championship play. Our Club low-markers, Tony Mann and Rob Williams, played really-well

throughout the day to return a three under par score of 137 to win the event by four shots. This gave them victory over Nathan Walker and Duane Faro-Mann, who recorded a one over par score of 141. The 36-hole handicap winners on the day, were Mitch Smith and Kale Bock, who had a nett score of 79 points with the runners-up Craig Duff and Greg Barling on 72 points.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Walgett, raced Saturday, June 17 ADDING to a very good record on western area tracks, Plectrum won the 1400 metres Geronimo Farm Equipment-New Holland Walgett Cup on Saturday, before a record breaking crowd. The now eight-year-old mare came to Graeme Brooker in 2019 after two wins on north coast tracks and has since won seven races for the Coonabarabran trainer including the last two cups at Walgett (2022 and 2023) and cups at Carinda and Binnaway together with benchmark handicaps at Gilgandra (two) and Walgett in 2021. Orange-based Chelsea Ings has ridden Plectrum for the last six wins, while Nyssa Burrells was aboard for the 2020 win at Gilgandra. Ridden in a clever front running race by Chelsea Ings on Saturday, Plectrum ($4) won the Walgett Cup by a half length from the second place dead heaters Hardyo (Kelsey Lenton, $3.20 equal favourite) and Amazingly (Wendy Peel, $3.50). Jane Clement, who trains

the second placegetters at Armidale, later won the 1600 metres benchmark 50 handicap with Jade (Kelsey Lenton, $5) which tracked the leaders and then ﬁ nished best to beat Royal Samer (Wendy Peel, $7) and Borlotti (Paul Zerafa, $10). The more than 20 Walgett and Collarenebri-based owners of Zoucan Toucan were in celebratory mood when their horse won the 1400 metres JR and ML Moore Memorial Maiden Handicap. Sensei Jackie and Better Than Pearls set the pace before the Kelly Smith, Collarenebri-trained, heavily supported Zoucan Toucan (Ronald Simpson, $2 fav.) coming from last early, ran home strongly to account for Castlehyde (Jake Barrett, $5) and Our City (Andrew Banks, $5). Dubbo-based apprentice Ronald Simpson made it 10 wins over the past 12 days when he won the 900 metres Dubbo City Toyota Maiden Plate (900 metres) on the Cec Hodgson, Coonamble-trained Twyborn Affair. Third to the home turn, Twyborn Affair ($2.20 equal fav.) gained an inside run to beat the other equal favourite Cheerful Union (Chelsea Ings) and Snow Missile (Andrew Banks, $6). Due to medical issues former leading trainer Cec Hodgson stepped away from racing and this was his ﬁ rst winner for several years.

Nyngan trainers Rodney Robb (900 metres Roy White Memorial Benchmark 50 Handicap) and Greg O’Neill (1300 metres Paul Wickman Memorial Handicap) had winners at Walgett. The Robb-trained Hurn Court (Jayden Barrie, $7) from well back ﬁ nished strongly on the outside to win by a neck from Loca (Will Stanley, $8) which reached the lead in the straight, while Sons Of Bourke (Jake Barrett, $4) was a close third. Outback Cod (Andrew Banks, $7) from the O’Neill stable, shared the lead with Geesheehan then raced to an over two lengths win from the Richard Jackson, Walgett trained The Drafter (Ronald Simpson, $3) and Stable Talk (Kelsey Lenton, $4.40).

Safado wins at Coonamble’s Cannonball COONAMBLE, raced Sunday, June 18 CARRYING the South Sydney Rabbitohs Rugby League Club colours, worn by apprentice jockey Madeline Owen and trained by former local Damien Lane, Safado on Sunday won a thrilling Nutrien Ag Solutions Coonamble Cannonball. Against a quality ﬁeld of sprinters in the 1100 metres feature Sprint, Beauchamp led from Ecker Road, Dalavin and

Dubbo Wanderer with Safado last in the nine horse field. Ecker Road (Shayleigh Ingelse, $26) from the Gilgandra stables of Bryan Dixon Jnr reached the lead close to the fi nish but was beaten a long neck by the fast fi nishing Safado ($8.50) with Toro Toro (Nick Heywood, $11) a short head away third while Beauchamp battled on well for fourth. Now a successful trainer at Wyong, Damien Lane is a staunch supporter of meetings at Coonamble where he commenced his career. Apprenticed to Clint Lundholm at Dubbo, Ronald Simpson continued his current tremendous run of success when he won the 1200 metres Whitewood and Pennell Maiden Handicap on the Lundholm trained Venatic. Owned by the family of Todd Smith the Lundholm racing stables manager, Venatic was backed from $6 to $3.90 favourite and led throughout for a dominant win over Lumin (Kody Nestor, $7) and Awaygoesthebunny (Wendy Peel, $8). Rewarding Belle at debut was at $101 when third to Bare To Witness at Coonamble and returned on Sunday to reverse the result in the 1200 metres Mobil and Moe Jacobs Plumbing Showcase Twoyear-old Handicap. Leading all the way the Michael Lunn, Dubbo trained Rewarding Belle (Jake Barrett,

$5) won by over four lengths from Bare To Witness (Madeline Owen,$1.90 to $1.75 favourite) and Duren (Shayleigh Ingelse, $4.40). Later in the 1100 metres Dave Carter Plumbing Country Boosted Showcase Class Three Handicap, Jake Barrett with a good front running ride on the Dar Lunn trained Daredevil ($26) held on to beat Obey (Ronald Simpson, $13) and Brief Statement (Tony Cavallo, $4.60). Jake Barrett is apprenticed to Brett Robb who trains Din (Kody Nestor, $3 fav.) all the way winner of the 1300 metres Swamy’s Foods Class One Handicap from First Secret (Madeline Owen,$6.50) and Mean Girls (James Rogers, $61).

Junior Jets really taking-off, with some top rugby league By GINNI BROWN

The U11 Junior Jets are really taking-off!

THE Junior Jets U11’s rugby league team played Macquarie Raiders on Saturday at home in Narromine. The boys competed well in a tight game, and were unlucky to go down 24–18. The team has a number of players from Warren who have joined the Jets this year, and their skills and experience have been a great asset to the team, as well as creating some great new friendships. Fred Anderson, Hayne O’Hara and his twin, Hamish, all combined well to move the footy down the ﬁeld; and tries went to Lachie Watt, Paddy Bruce, Hayne, and a very impressive 60-metre run and try by Harry Miles. Coaches Marcus Bruce and Charlie MacInnes were very impressed with the lads’ efforts during the game. “The boys are working really hard and putting some great plays together” MacInnes said. “The results have to be just around the corner as they keep building each game we play”. The Junior Jets would like to pass on their thanks to all the parents who assisted in the canteen during the massive day of home games on Saturday; and to all the match officials who took part.

Close-fought tussles at Dunedoo for League Tag and First Grade By MICK BURNS NARROMINE Jets travelled to Dunedoo on Saturday with both grades knowing they were in for a tough match. Ladies League Tag started the day, and it was a tough ﬁ rst-half with the Jets’ girls defending their line for numerous sets of six due to poor ball control early in the tackle count, as well as giving away too many penalties for offside play. However, at the half-time whistle, the Jets went to the sheds leading by 6-0; thanks to a try from Lily Spackman. The second half started well with the Jets scoring early with a great try from Rebecca Smythe to take the score to 10-0. Unfortunately, after the Jets scored their second try; fatigue set-in from all the defending that the Jets were forced to do. Combined with the number of penalties in Dunedoo’s favour, the Swans capitalised on this and scored three tries late in the game to take the match 16-10. Great games were had by all the Jets with Captain-Coaches, Lily and Kodie, doing their best to get their team home, ably supported by Beth Clarke and Jacana Powell. The Ladies have a week-off to recover from a few bumps and bruises, as next week’s opponents, Coonabarabran, don’t have a Ladies League Tag team. The Jets First Grade in the second game, knew they needed to put in a huge team effort against the Swans as the Jets had 10 players unavailable for various reasons. The players all tried their best in a game that went end-to-end with many stoppages due to penalties from both teams. The Jets, however, were

fi rst to score after a bruising opening 10 minutes, through the efforts of Captain-Coach Doug Potter. Then then let their guard down with Dunedoo scoring the next two tries. The game failed to get any momentum with multiple penalties making the game a fairly ordinary spectacle, but the Jets hung-in and scored a few more tries through hard-working lock forward, Malachi Clarke, and flying Fijian winger, Freddy Joji, as well as Washie Itoya and Tylah Beer. The score was in the Jets favour with 10 minutes remaining, however the Jets found themselves down to 11 players after the referee sin-binned two players for repeated penalties. This allowed the Swans to capitalise on the lack of defenders and score two tries to take the win 38-30. While it was not the result the Jets were after, it was a great effort from a bunch of players who didn’t give up until the fi nal whistle. Best players on the day were Mitch Rixon, Malachi Clarke, and Sam Gainsford. This week, the Jets First Grade take on the Coonabarabran Unicorns at Cale Oval with Under 16s Junior Jets starting the day at 1.30pm and First Grade playing at 2.40pm. This will be followed by the main game at 4.15pm; the Christie and Hood Youth League Grand Final between the Narromine Jets and the Binnaway Bombshells. The Grand Final should be a terrific game with the unbeaten Jets looking to add to their Under 16s title from last season and be crowned premiers in 2023. Hope to see you all there for a great day of footy.
