Lions Club celebrates 70th anniversary

By EMILY MIDDLETON THE people of Trangie have waited long enough for their service station to re-open and the good news is, it’s finally open. As of last Friday, Inland Petroleum’s temporary Trangie service station opened the bowsers, and the extra 70-kilometre round trip locals needed to make for fuel was over. The Ampol service station closed at the end of last year, however Inland Petroleum quickly announced that it would take over the site, and a temporary station would be put up. Residents were initially told they would only have to wait 10 days without a service station. Now, over 200 days later, residents ﬁ nally have a temporary site. Inland Petroleum principal and owner Paul McCallum, explained in detail to the Narromine Star what caused such lengthy delays, and hopes the community can understand the depth of technicalities needed to be passed in order to re-open the site. He said that the section of land where the service station sits is part of a historical rail corridor, “that was quite wide for a rail corridor” and was owned by Transport for NSW.

By TOBIAS OSTINI THE Narromine Lions Club celebrated 70 years of community service on Saturday night (July 1). A dinner celebration was held at the Narromine USMC with the room decorated with balloons in Lions colours – blue and yellow. The club’s had officially cel-

ebrated its 70th anniversary with a cake at last month’s meeting, however Saturday night was a chance for the wider community to celebrate and show their appreciation for the club’s ongoing dedication to Narromine. Narromine Lions Club was formed on June 5, 1953. It was the 18th Lions Club formed in

the country and is the oldest club west of the Blue Mountains. At its formation in 1953 it was also the second largest club in size. As well as paying tribute to the club’s vast 70-year history on Saturday Narromine Lions also celebrated their more recent achievements and community service. A summary

of the past year’s donations and support provided includes many excellent causes, such as the Narromine Preschool, Meals on Wheels, the Royal Flying Doctors Service, Camp Licola, Timbrebongie House, Narromine Cancer Support Group and international Lions charities. Continued page 3

The new change-rooms were also given rave reviews by the players who utilised them on a very busy home game on Saturday. The new facility will be a great asset to Narromine when hosting sporting ﬁ xtures in the years’ ahead.

Lions Club celebrates 70th anniversary

The club celebrated its 70th anniversary on June 5, and a cake was cut at the meeting. Charlie Burrowes (longest member), past President Viv Halbisch (standing) and president Vicki Drew (sitting). PHOTO: SUPPLIED. From page 1 The highlight of the Saturday’s celebration was Lions member Bob Davis receiving the Melvin Jones Fellowship award for an outstanding contribution (over US$1000) to the International Lions Foundation, and in turn their support of the local community. This award is the highest accolade inside the Lions organisation, named after the organisation’s founder, Mr Jones. Lions district governor Geoff Freudenstein spoke about how fellowship recipient Mr Davis had been working unassumingly for such a long time and about how much he really deserved this award and the recognition of his 40 plus years of community service. Mr Davis, who joined Lions in 1980, has been a member of two Lions Club’s during the four decades – one in Victoria and the Narromine club. Another stirring story was

told by member Dick Short. He spoke of the huge impact the Lions Club had in supporting his mother, after the death of his father; leaving his mother a the single mother of six children. Lions had helped keep bread on the table and gave his mother “the wings she needed”. Narromine Shire Council mayor Craig Davies attended the celebration and said it is important to encourage “all adults to give serious thought to joining the Lions Club”. Like many established volunteer-run organisations, the average age of Lions Club members is getting older and there are fewer younger people joining the organisation. Mayor Davies emphasised how important volunteer groups like the Lions are to regional communities. Along with the ongoing community service and support, the Narromine Lions have been busily planning to bring “rail romance tourism” back to Nar-

romine. Vice-president Daryl Healey told the Narromine Star in June, that since 2019 Lions members have been undertaking a project to restore signage and the railway turntable to highlight to the shire’s locomotive history. The aim is to promote Narromine as part of a rail trail and to link in with what other districts are doing in rail tourism such as Nyngan’s Railway Museum, which has recently undergone a large renovation. Narromine Lions Club president Vicki Drew said Saturday’s event was a “a lovely celebration of the club’s history”. Reﬂecting on how much the club had given back to the community, Mrs Drew felt very proud of all past and present members’ hard work. “It was a very nice evening, the guest speakers were fantastic, and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves, which was very well deserved.” she said.

Local country star, Jason, to co-host Golden Guitars with Tania Kernaghan IN great news for local country music, the Central West’s very-own Jason Owen, will join country music royalty, Tania Kernaghan, as cohost of next year’s 52nd Annual Golden Guitar Awards in Tamworth. The former X Factor star, grew-up in the little village of Albert, about 130km west of Dubbo. He recalls listening to Australian country music as a child and attending Austral-

ia’s premiere country music festival many times when growing-up. Jason’s dream has always been to become a singer and touring artist; long before the 18-year-old country boy starred in the reality music television show more than a decade ago. Jason even now, remembers where his love of country music developed when, as a child, he spent a lot of his time near the local pub in Albert, called

“The Rabbit Trap Hotel”. On weekend’s, his friends from the district, would come-in on a Friday or Saturday night with their family’s. All the kids would then play in the local park across the road, until around 9pm, the children would all comeback across to the pub as it got dark. The parents would give the children gold coins to put in the jukebox, and they would listen to all types of music, in-

cluding Australian country performers, Tania and Lee Kernaghan, John Williamson, and Slim Dusty. After his time on the X Factor, Owen’s debut studio album, Life Is a Highway, was released in 2013, and debuted at number ﬁve on the ARIA Albums Chart, and was the 30th highest-selling album by an Australian artist in 2013. His second album, Friday Night, was released in 2015, and debuted at number nine

on the ARIA Albums Charts. Later, he recorded, Jason Owen Sings John Denver, in 2017, to mark 20 years since the great song-writer’s passing. In August 2018, Owen wrote and recorded the song, These Are the Times, with funds raised going towards drought relief.

WHEN Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his Disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man (Jesus) is?” They replied: “Some say, ‘John the Baptist’, others say, ‘Elijah’; and still others, ‘Jeremiah’ or ‘one of the prophets’.” (Matthew 16:13-14). To every person on earth, Jesus asks this same question: “Who do you say I am?” How we answer that question, affects how we live. Many people say that Jesus was just a wise teacher. They say that Jesus had good things to say, but they also believe other religious leaders throughout history also said good things. They say Jesus is no different from any of them, that he’s nothing special. Some people say that, Jesus was a liar because he called himself “God”. They say he was just a man pretending to be something that he wasn’t. Others say he never existed at all, and the Bible is just stories that people made-up. Then there are God’s children. Millions upon millions of us, know that Jesus is the Son of God. History, science, the Bible, and God’s Spirit prove it. One day, Jesus will prove to everyone that he is and always will be God. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked: “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, I tell you, not ‘seven times’, but seventy seven times.”

(Matthew 18:21-22). People can be frustrating, can’t they? They are always doing things to hurt one another. Sometimes, you might feel like you don’t have any friends at all. Or sometimes, you might feel like you no longer want the friends you have. This is all a normal part of being human. Peter may have thought he was being really generous when he said he’d consider forgiving someone seven times. Imagine Peter’s surprise — and probably disappointment — when Jesus said it was a lot higher than that! Jesus wants us to forgive others the way he has forgiven us. There’s just one problem. We’re ﬂawed humans. We can’t possibly be that forgiving, unless we tap into the supernatural love of Jesus. Only with his help, can we forgive others the way he forgives us. But once we do forgive others, we are free to enjoy our lives more. Forgiveness helps us let go of resentment, anger, and pain. It’s just another way that Jesus sets us free. PRAYER: “Dear Jesus. we thankyou and praise you, that we know the truth about you. We pray for those people who don’t, that they would come to know you, and your love. Amen.” By REVEREND BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE, ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF BATHURST

Fuel returns to Trangie (finally!) From page 1 The section spans from the railway tracks across to Narromine Street, and in 1999, Narromine Shire Council bought that section of land. This section became the heavy vehicle pad, with the help of federal government funding of $800,000. However, there were three blocks of land that stayed in the ownership of Transport for NSW. “Ampol had historically a very long term-lease that was renewed over the years, starting in I think about 1960,” explained Mr McCallum. “And there’s a very old service station there. Ampol made a decision that the site was not up to scratch, and that they weren’t willing to invest any money in it. I guess, in a small rural community, and didn’t quite ﬁt their marketing footprint going forward.” Inland Petroleum heard about this and approached Transport for NSW to obtain a fresh 30-year lease, which resulted in a positive outcome. “There was a tripartite agreement reached between Ampol, ourselves [Inland], and Transport for NSW, to transition the lease across and then us be issued a fresh lease.

“In the interim, Transport for NSW allowed us a small portion of the land at the back, that didn’t have any infrastructure on it, and didn’t need rehabilitation. So, together with the Narromine council, who gave us a small section of the heavy vehicle path, we have been able to build a temporary service station.” Mr McCallum said that the temporary service station has on ground tanks, and 30,000 litres of petrol in a concrete encased on ground tank. He said that they’re very common in the United States, but not as common in Australia. “But they’re fully compliant with Australian standards,” he said. “We navigated through a whole host of regulatory requirements. And those regulatory requirements - that have changed in the last 10 years - range from safe work, right through to the council requirements. “It’s been a process that we commenced in mid-March, doing the installation, and it’s now ﬁ nished. There’s fuel in the tanks, the browsers have been tested. They have been calibrated, and we’ve ﬂ ipped the switch.” Residents and local busi-

ness owners have been keen to know the reasons why the temporary site opening suffered such a lengthy delay. Mr McCallum said that they ran into a “unique” problem with the temporary site. “The unique problem is that today, wherever you have petrol you have hazardous zones. In other words, you’re likely to encounter fuel petroleum fibres that are explosive,” he explained. “So, where you have a hazardous zone, you must have a manifest of all electrical equipment that is within the zone, and it must be certified as being f lameproof and have suitable enclosures and have what’s called a ‘Certificate of Conformity’. And that can file the dossier for submitting to the Services NSW portal and then goes on to Essential Energy. “What we found when we compiled that dossier, is that the particular pumps that we used, which came from our south Dubbo site, are 15 years old. They are completely serviceable and are quite common pumps throughout all of Australia being Gilbarco electrical lines, but they’re no longer in production and Gilbarco cancelled the Cer-

tificates of Conformity for those pumps. “Now, that’s not usually a problem on an existing site, because you can swap like for like, but on a new installation, when we went to install it, we weren’t allowed to proceed because the certiﬁcates had been cancelled.” Spending the money on brand new pumps wasn’t a viable option according to Mr McCallum, but after having the pumps reconditioned, with new ﬂameproof enclosures and glands, they were completely serviceable and safe. “So, we’ve been very lucky to engage a very talented electrical engineer who’s based in Dubbo, and just recently he went to Trangie, and he has the qualifications and the knowledge to inspect the f lameproof enclosures on browsers. “He has the authority to issue new certificates of conformity for those bowsers. As he inspects them. He says yes, they’re up to speed. Yes, they’re compliant, they will do the job, and he can issue his own Certificate of Conformity.” Mr McCallum explained that it’s a very complex regulatory system that Aus-

tralia lives with, especially where you have the public using a facility that has f lammable vapours. Britt Willetts, Inland Petroleum’s marketing and retail manager, said that the team has been working on this project now for almost two and a half years. She said that it’s been one of the main priorities for their business to ensure that fuel is available for Trangie and the wider community. “We’re actively involved in the community, and we support a lot of events that occur in Trangie, and Narromine, and the surrounding region. A lot of our bulk fuel customers are in Trangie and in the region, so we owe it to them to create that service,” she said. “If everything was as smooth as we would have hoped, we would be there a lot earlier than we have, but we’ve worked tirelessly to get this over the line and we’re ﬁnally now able to look forward to being a big part of the community and offering in 18 months’ time more than just fuel.” Trangie Inland Petroleum have plans in the near future to offer more to their service station including retail products, meals, and coffee.

Macquarie Homestay welcomes new trees LAST Thursday (June 29) I attended an official opening for the Australian government’s Planting Trees to Commemorate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Program at Macquarie Homestay in Dubbo. Macquarie Homestay received $20,000 in funding to plant trees in honour of the legacy of Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and her 70 years of service to Australia and the Commonwealth. More than one hundred snow pear trees have been planted on the property, especially along the boundary fence, and it’s wonderful to see these now in the ground. The planting of these trees at Macquarie Homestay means that the families of those travelling long distances for treatment at Dubbo Base Hospital will now have a beautiful and restful space in which to stay during tough times. These trees also provide a barrier between Macquarie Homestay and the busy Golden Highway. I’m a great supporter of the work Macquarie Homestay does for those across the Parkes electorate and I’m glad to see the establishment of these trees in a space which provides comfort and assistance for patients and their families.

Caroline’s uncle, Charles Ernest Ingram, was also a Private in the Australian Army during World War II and enlisted at the age of 27. He served with the eighth Division Provost Company and was one of those who died in

Vibrant communities; growing economy; protect the environment; aim of draft Delivery Program By ANDREW TARRY CREATING vibrant communities; growing the local economy; and protecting and enhancing the environment, are key goals of Narromine Shire Council’s recently-released draft Delivery Program for the next four years. Delivery Programs are statutory documents designed to set-out a plan for Council’s operations for the year’s ahead. They also contribute towards, and fulﬁ ll the objectives of, the complementary Community Strategic Plan. They are are described as: “where the community’s strategic goals, are translated into actions. These are the principal activities to be undertaken by Council to implement the objectives established by the Community Strategic Plan within the resources available under the Resourcing Strategy. “The Delivery Program is a statement of commitment to the community from each newly-elected Council. It is designed as the single point of reference for all principal activities undertaken by Council during its term. All plans, projects, activities, and funding allocations must be directly linked to this Program.” Every Council across NSW is required to develop and adopt a delivery program, as

well as other programs related to the Community Strategic Plan. Narromine Council’s draft Plan includes, as its “Areas of Responsibility” : f Vibrant Communities f Growing Our Economy f Protecting and Enhancing our Environment f Proactive Leadership The Vibrant communities section beings with the fol lowing: “Our Goal: We want to create a safe, healthy and connected region that encourages participating and creates a strong sense of pride in our community and each other’s wellbeing.” This is followed by a table which details a series of actions and the performance measure to ensure the action is completed. Each action and its corresponding performance measure is under a subheading. The actions also have a target year which the action is set to be completed by. The ﬁ rst category for these actions is “A Safe, Active and Healthy Community.” This is then broken down. Some examples of this section are: The Vibrant Communities section also outlines the importance to: “share and celebrate our cultural and social diversity through local events,

programs and projects.” Council identifies areas to facilitate this objective such as the effort to: f Continue to facilitate events that celebrate community values including all groups within the community and provide fi nancial and in-kind assistance for community and private events. f Provide grants through the Donations, Sponsorships and Waiver of Fees and Charges Policy process to community groups, with an emphasis on sports, recreation, arts, cultural, leadership, and development activities. f Continue to support the Local History Groups in Narromine and Trangie with a financial contribution to assist with their work. f Liaise with Local Aboriginal Land Councils to enhance the opportunities for the Indigenous community. f Advocate where possible for the increased provision of childcare opportunities within the Shire. f Work in conjunction with Macquarie Regional Library to facilitate local training opportunities for the community. The “Growing Our Economy” is the second category under the delivery plan’s areas of responsibility. The goal, for this category, is to: “have a diverse economy with thriving

businesses that offer a range of employment opportunities supported by skill development options.” The category is organised in the same way as the Vibrant Communities. There are actions with corresponding performance measures and target years. Some of the the Growing our Economy actions are:

transparent leadership, effective council organisational capability and capacity.” While also providing a “ﬁ nancially sound council that is responsible and sustainable.”

The “Protecting and Enhancing Our Environment” focuses on the following: f Retain appropriate land use zones to avoid inappropriate development in environmentally sensitive areas. f Facilitate the growth and sustainability of the community through planning policy. f Maintain involvement with the Central West Councils Environment and Waterways Alliance and Macquarie Valley Weeds Committee and LLS Weeds Group. f Finalise the construction activities and redevelopment of the Narromine wetlands into a natural ecosystem. f Continue to promote community education campaigns through Net Waste and FOGO presenting the beneﬁts of recycling and educating the community regarding which items can be recycled. The ﬁ nal category in the Delivery Plan is the “Proactive Leadership” which aims to provide “an accountable and

f Continue to develop revenue strategies that are equitable and contribute to a ﬁ nancially sustainable future.

Coulton criticises working holiday visa and wage increase changes By ANDREW TARRY FEDERAL Government changes to the work-rules for young overseas workers, has been described as a “twopronged attack on backpackers” by Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton. The changes include increasing the cost of the Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Visa by $130 to $640. The minimum wage that a temporary migrant worker must be paid under the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT), has also been increased from $53,900 to $70,000. Condemning the changes, the local MP, said they represented: “terrible news for the Parkes electorate’s communities and local economy”. Mr Coulton, also claimed that the reforms will make the work permits, the: “highest fee visa of its kind in the world”. He suggested that, the Labor Government, is also considering cutting the WHM Visa to only one year, and

removing its regional work requirements. “The electorate of Parkes relied on backpackers to work in essential industries and support businesses by spending their money locally,” Mr Coulton said. “By making the working holiday-maker visa so expensive it will discourage backpackers from coming to Australia, this means fewer workers helping-out in agriculture and hospitality jobs and fewer visitors supporting our tourism businesses,” he said. The 12-month permit limit, would also have a huge impact on regional towns, he said. “If Labor cuts the backpacker visa to just one year, it will hurt our local economy as well as other regional economies around the country. “Backpackers are a large source of labour across the Parkes electorate, and the Coalition supports our successful working holiday maker program; the Prime Minister needs to stand-up today and match our commitment,” Mr

Coulton said. With about 137,000 WHM Visa-holders currently in Australia, he added that they help our critical industries as well spend money on holidays in rural Australia. “W HM visa holders make up 80 per cent of the harvest labour force in horticulture while, in other commodities, they account for f ive per cent to 15 per cent of the junior, casual, and seasonal workforce.” The mandatory wage increase, would also hit local businesses hard, he added. “Most businesses in the Parkes electorate, can’t afford to give workers a $16,100 pay rise. “That means letting workers go who have put down roots in our community,” Mr Coulton said. Overseas visa workers were now an important part of our rural economies and communities, he added. “We should be doing everything we can to support skilled workers to make their

home in our towns, but Labor’s visa changes are ultimately going to do the opposite. “Any business or worker that is impacted by this change, should contact my ofﬁce so we can try to push for the Labor government to rethink this decision,” Mr Coulton said. Figures show that there are more than 67,000 migrant workers in Australia on the temporary work visas, with 57,200 supported family members. Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Dan Tehan, also criticised the changes. “The backpacker sector contributed $3 billion to the economy and helped address critical workforce shortages, especially in regional Australia,” Mr Tehan said. “Labor are making backpackers the scapegoat for their ‘Big Australia’ policy”. He said that exploding immigration numbers, were exacerbating a range of social and economic pinch-points,

with Visa workers, the meat in the sandwich.

“Under Labor, 1.5 million people are coming to Australia over ﬁve years in the middle of a housing crisis, and Anthony Albanese’s solution, is to price backpackers out of coming here,” he said.

“Labor’s attack on backpackers, will be disastrous for our tourism and agriculture sectors, and it will make us a less-attractive destination for visitors.”

Mr Tehan went on to add that, even the Government-funded Tourism Australia board, is calling for the WHM program to be expanded and made cheaper.

“WHMs are a valuable travelling segment,” Mr Tehan said.

They tend to stay longer, spend more, and disperse more-widely throughout the country than other international arrivals,” he concluded.

MAYOR’S AYOR’S ESSAGE MESSAGE Comment mment by CR CRAIG DAVIES,, Narromine rromine re mayorr Shire

I’VE had the real pleasure of being invited to numerous events around the Shire recently, and so very pleased I’ve been able to attend. This included opening of the upgraded amenities block at Noel Powell Oval last Saturday morning, where the more than $125,000 spent on revitalising the change-rooms and toilets, is an example of a community group taking the initiative to submit a grant application and being successful. Local members and mayors make little difference in these situations, without the initiative of the responsible club or community groups mobilising themselves and working towards improving their own situation. Tim Roberts and his team have done exactly that, and the Junior Jets have been the beneficiaries of their commitment. The new facilities are fantastic and will serve the young footballers and all users of the ovals, for decades to come. In the evening of the same day, I ventured back to Narromine USMC with my wife

Local events highlight the depth of community spirit Lyn for the celebrations of 70 years of the Lions Club in Narromine. The club started before I was born, and today is still a vital part of the community fabric of Narromine. Many thousands of dollars in donations have been distributed to many local charities, along with the Rural Flying Doctor Service (RFDS). That a small community club, is still serving the community in such a positive manner, is testimony to the wonderful sense of community that exists within the club. Also at the event, a very-surprised Bob Davis, who joined Lions in 1980 and has served in two different clubs in Victoria, and now Narromine, was awarded the Melvin Jones Award for his outstanding contribution to the Lions organisation and the communities in which he has lived. This is the highest award within the Lions Club and is not given without a member having contributed in a most positive and lengthy time of service. Bob’s role across more than 40 years in giving to his community, is simply outstanding and, no doubt helped enormously by his wife, Julie, whose response to the award showed how much it also

meant to her. Lions District Governor, Geoff Frudenstein, also spoke at length about Bob’s contribution, which to many of us in the audience, was completely unknown. It was wonderful to see this quiet, unassuming, contributor, given the recognition he so thoroughly deserves. The audience at this function, were also very moved by the inspiring and emotional story that Dick Short brought to us about the Lions Club involvement in his family’s life. The help his mother was given 60 years ago by the Narromine Lions Club was the wings she needed to support herself and six little boys following the loss of her husband and the boys’ father. Dick was most eff usive in his praise and thanks to those who helped his Mum overcome the terrible loss of a father and bread-winner for a family who would have struggled otherwise. I think it is only fair, that I encourage all adults to give serious thought to joining the Lions Club. The absence of members aged in their forties, fifties, and even older, is not good news for the club and it’s future. All rural towns and com-

munities rely heavily on volunteers to be a part of the wonderful service clubs that provide so much for our communities and that the seniors within our communities bear the burden of most of the load, is not sustainable. In this, we can all become contributors and help keep our communities alive and vibrant. Two other events I’ve been asked to attend and which are coming up next week, are the opening of the extensions to the Wungunja Cultural Centre in Trangie. Terrie Milgate has again been instrumental in submitting applications for the project, which entails a major expansion of the vision that Terrie and her Committee have had for this fabulous cultural experience in the main street of Trangie. Whilst thousands of artefacts have been collected and donated to the Cultural Centre, the space has never been large-enough to display all but a tiny portion of them. This expansion, will see the TLALC (Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council) staff move into the building with more artefacts to go on display for the public to enjoy. The cultural centre is gaining a reputation for it’s wonderful cultural items; it’s collab-

oration with the universities so keen to catalogue the collection, and the many visitors it is attracting. The cost of the extensions is more than $500,000 and is due to a team that is willing to go the extra mile to seek grant funding. Lastly, the new First Nations retirement units in Trangie will open the same day as the Cultural Centre. A grant of more than $2.27 million has allowed the building of six one-bedroom units for First Nations people that will become home to long-term residents of Trangie and, at the same time, open-up another six homes for other people in town. The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in NSW , the Honourable David Harris, has been asked to officiate and, hopefully, he can appreciate the vision and dedication shown by the local TALC Committee to ensure that First Nations elderly have access to good accommodation for their futures. Being the Mayor has its moments, but when a number of very inspiring events happen together, it certainly makes it all worthwhile. — Councillor Craig Davies, Mayor, Narromine Shire

Sport CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH RUGBY LEAGUE ROUND EIGHT

Terriers spoil Swans’ 100th anniversary party, as the Panthers pip the Roosters! By BRYSON LUFF NO doubt the 100th anniversary celebrations by the Dunedoo Swans over the weekend were highly-enjoyable for the very large number of people who attended the event. However, on the field, the Gulgong Terriers put a bit of a dampener on the proceedings, when they downed the Swans 32-14 at the Swan’s Robertson Oval. At the same time that the Terriers were maintaining their unbeaten status, and the number one spot on the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition ladder, the Gilgandra Panthers and Cobar Roosters were putting-on a thrilling encounter at Gilgandra. The match, a replay of last year’s epic grand final, may not have reached the classic heights of the 2022 premiership decider, but it was nonetheless an exciting match-up. This time however, it was to be the Panthers who claimed a last-gasp victory, and two highly-prized competition points. The game started with the Roosters getting away to an early lead, up 6-0 after just three minutes but, come half-time, the Panthers had crossed for four unanswered tries, including a double to their young front-rower Kyle Welsh. At this stage, the homeside looked very comfortable with a 22-6 lead. The resumption of play however saw the visitors come roaring-back into the game by completely out-scoring the Panthers, to the point where the game now hung on a knifeedge. With just three minutes remaining in the match, a ﬁeld goal to their half-back, Lochlan Ford, gave them a 29 to 28 lead and what seemed like a remarkable come-frombehind victory. The final twist to the frantic finish to the game though came with mere seconds remaining on the clock, when the Panthers received a penalty some 40 metres out from goal. Under extreme pressure, Gilgandra’s fullback, DJ Smith, then calmly slotted the long-range kick, meaning that, much to the delight of the Panther supporters, they had snatched a near-miracle 30-29 win! In other games, Coonabarabran Unicorns got over the top of the Coonamble Bears to win 34-20 at Coonabarabran whilst, at The Crater, the Narromine Jets just snuck home by four points against the Bin-

Gilgandra young-gun, Isaiah Gleadhill, about to hit the turf in the Gilgandra versus Cobar Grand Final rematch thriller, won by the Panthers, 30-29. PHOTO: STEPHEN BASHAM. naway Bombshells, winning a high-scoring game, 42-38. Turning to Round Nine of the competition, two games stand out, those being the Cobar versus Gulgong game to be played at Cobar, and Dunedoo hosting Gilgandra at Robertson Oval. At Cobar, the undefeated Gulgong Terriers will face one of their toughest tasks to date, when they match-up against the Roosters, who are currently placed second on the competition ladder. The reigning premiers will be smarting from their close loss to the Panthers last Saturday, and in front of their home crowd, they will certainly be out to prove that they are still well and truly in the race for 2023 honours, hoping to be the ﬁ rst side to lower the Terriers’ colours this year. As with Cobar, the Dunedoo Swans will also be out to atone for their loss last weekend, when they are again at home, this time to the Gilgandra Panthers. After a slow start to the year, the Panthers have won their last three games; although the last two victories over both Baradine and Cobar, have been by a solitary point each time. In both those games, Gil-

gandra held a handy lead over their opponents, only to see that lead whittled away during the second half. This worrying trend will be something that they will have to address, if they are going to down the Swans on their home turf. The other games will see Coonamble at home to Baradine, with a win vital to both camps at this stage of the competition, whilst Binnaway and Coonabarabran will clash in a local derby to be played at The Crater on Friday night. While the ground temperature may well be a bit chilly for the evening match, there should be a great deal of heat generated on the ﬁeld as these two arch-rivals lock horns!

Short-handed Jets scrape home against Bombshells in away win

Three debutants who made their mark in a gutsy win for the Narromine Jets, from left, Harry McPherson, Charlie Bonham, and Darby Gordon. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. By MICK BURNS NARROMINE Jets rugby league team, travelled to Binnaway on Saturday to take-on the Bombshells, with the home team hoping to record their fi rst win of the season in First Grade. Their confidence would have been sky-high before the start of the game, after they had seen that the Jets had only 12 players available for the match. However, the Jets all agreed in the sheds before running-out to stick to the game plan, and to try and overcome the Bombshells late in the match with superior fitness and discipline. The Jets executed this plan perfectly, and they scored a terrific solo try in the fi nal

minute to debutant hooker, Harry McPherson, with captain Doug Potter converting the goal to take the ﬁ nal score to 42-38. This match was a special moment for three of the Youth League premiership winners, as they made their First Grade debuts. The trio, Harry McPherson, Darby Gordon, and Charlie Bonham, all had big games in front of their proud families. While the Jets were short of players due to a huge injury toll and some players seemingly forgetting that there are away games as well as home games(!), the effort shown by all on the day was enormous and will go down as an important win this season. Special mention must go to Mick Clarke, who came on af-

ter watching the game from the sideline early on and made an immediate impact with his communication and effort in defence. Big games were had by everyone with fatigue setting in especially for the big men, but Alex Sambrook and Blake Richardson took the team forward all day, with Ben Stirling also making some bulldozing runs. Great efforts in defence by Malachi Clarke and Will Olney, also contributed to the hard-fought win. The “Players Player” points were shared by the debutants Harry, Darby, and Charlie. The Ladies League Tag team kept their season rolling with another superb team effort by beating Binnaway 60-0. The girls were relentless in attack on a cold day with

the team scoring 10 tries, but the most pleasing thing for the team was their commitment and effort in defence by keeping the opposition to zero points on the scoreboard. The team was led around the park well by Captain-Coaches, Kodie and Lily, with Emily Edwards giving great service from dummy half. Bec Smyth had another big game with the ball in hand and put players through gaps with ease. Beth Clarke also made a number of breaks, which helped her score three tries, along with Shian who scored another hattrick of tries for the year as well as kicking 10 goals. Players player points went to Shian, Abbie, and Lucy. This week, the Jets enjoy a much-deserved rest with the Club’s ﬁ rst bye round of the

year. Hopefully this will provide enough time for the injured players to recuperate, so that the teams can be at fullstrength for the match against the currently unbeaten Gulgong Terriers at Cale Oval on Saturday, July 15.

This is also the Club’s Annual Charity Day event with the auctioning-off of the jerseys after the match at the Jets major sponsor, the Narromine USMC, with all proceeds going to the Australian skin cancer foundation, as well as local charities Narromine Rescue squad and Narromine Cancer support group.

This will also be the ﬁ rst game of the Reserve Grade season, so come on down and support the club with three great games of footy to be played.

How Narromine bowlers will always remember him; final farewell for Club stalwart, Steve Buttsworth was held last Sunday for the greenkeeper, who started as a young apprentice way back in 1977. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Contributed by NORMAN BOHM IT was a great day had by one and all last Sunday, for the final farewell of Club stalwart, Steve Buttsworth. During the course of the day’s activities, almost 70 members, visitors, and guests showed their appreciation for his tireless efforts over the years. It was therefore ﬁtting, that Life Member, Kevin Rider, was appointed the Club’s representative to conduct the gift-giving and speech-making duties, a job as MC that, of course, he handled with aplomb. Members heard how Steve joined the Club as a young apprentice way back in 1977, and he has been a devoted employee — often going above and beyond the duties of a greenkeeper — over those 46 productive years. Steve’s dedication to his work is reﬂected in the condition of the greens, which over many years have received plenty of accolades from those fortunate to compete in tournaments, championships, at other official days, or simply have a social outing. On behalf of the Board, bowling friends, and other staff at Narromine, Steve was wished all the best for the future. In other Club news, Gub Thorne Day is also fast approaching and, for those who haven’t nominated for this event to be held on Saturday, August 19, they should really jump-in and do so, as there aren’t that many spots left. Cost for the day, and all other information,

can be found on the nomination sheet on the Club’s Noticeboard. The Draw for the B-Grade Singles was also conducted last Sunday morning and, whilst event numbers aren’t that special, the winner of this event will be an excellent addition to the A-Grade ranks. For this event, next Saturday will have a couple of matches setdown for play, with the following competitors required: Kane Adams, Dwayne Faro, Connor Daley and Paul Hilder. Richard Hyde and Henry Buttsworth have the bye but, if they wish, can jump-in and play their match anytime that suits them. Also on the Noticeboard is a nomination form for the Consistency Singles event, with entry closing this Saturday, July 8. For those wishing to take part in the Zone Four Men’s Pennants, which commences in early August, a nomination sheet has been posted on the Club Noticeboard for those wishing to be part of our eight-man squad. Social Bowls this week ﬁ nished with Des Lincoln and Danny Carnevale atop the podium, whilst Sunday Morning it was ﬁtting that Andrew Buttsworth, Bruce Powyer, and Robbie Stanford were afforded the day’s best card, courtesy of a solid win over Megan, Henry, and Steve Buttsworth. That’s it for me this week, a pretty quiet one, but no doubt still plenty of action coming-up at the “Bowly” — hope you can be part of it.

Thanks went-out this week to all the dedicated spectators who turned-up to support Narromine junior soccer players last weekend on what was a very chilly morning! Good luck also to all the young repre-

sentative players competing in the Kanga Cup in Canberra this week. Credit also goes to the young referees, who do a great job looking after the younger grades on Saturdays. Lastly, thanks to the team sponsors Modern Foodie & Apollo Blinds, and remember, junior soccer now has a twoweek break during the School Holidays, before returning in Term Three.

Seven ladies brave the cold; to play “hidden holes” game

Contributed by NORM LEWIS A SLIGHT change in the weather on Sunday, attracted a top-field for the golf competition, with a total of 27 players facing the starter for the Two-Person Ambrose event, which was also a Men’s and Ladies’ Keno Qualifying round. Winners of the Ambrose event, were Rob Williams and Rob Gainsford with a score of 58.25; the runners-up were Craig Duff and Steve Buckley on 62.5 — a couple of very good scores! The Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) prize on the third hole went to Kale Bock, while “El Presidento”, Matt Gainsford, took the prize on the 17th. The Long Drive events went to Kath Williams for the Ladies, and Nathan Walker in the Men’s. Qualifiers for the Statewide Keno event were, in the Ladies, Kath Williams and Lanae Bock, with Craig Duff and Steve Buckley taking the Men’s division. The qualifying round dates and venues for this competition will be advised in due course. On Saturday, the weather was cold, and other sporting events held in Narromine, reduced the field to only seven players. Results were as follows: First, Rus Hunt on 37; Runner-Up, Matt Brown on 36; with no winners in the NTP events; but Rus Hunt picked-up the double, winning the Long Drive on the fi rst. The drawn Jackpot Hole was the 18th, and not won. The Golf Club programme for the next couple of weeks, are as follows: On Saturday, July 8, the Wakefield Founders Cup-A Par event with Scratch and Handicap prizes. On Sunday, July 9; the Individual Stableford.at home. For the Warren Open, the weekends of July 15-16, and July 22-23, will be for the Club Championships; with the Monthly Medal on Saturday, July 22. Also note, there will be no Junior Clinics over the School Holidays. That’s about it for another week — see you at the 19th!

Contributed by DALE HARDING LADIES Golf planned to play the Elaine Ashdown Memorial Trophy that was donated by the Solo Card Ladies on Wednesday, but had to postpone it because of the welcome rain. Making the best of the situation, the Ladies decided to go-ahead with lunch with 23 sitting-down to the usual array of delicious foods, and also the presentation for the month of June. On Saturday, a small ﬁeld of seven ladies braved the elements to play “hidden holes”, for a trophy do-

nated by Sue McCutcheon. The nine-hole winner was Carol McCalman with 24 nett, and the 18-hole winner was Vicki Tuck, who scored 34 nett. Nearest-to-the-pin prize went to Vicki Gainsford who won two holes and Marj Kelly who won one; Dale Harding was the drawn card. On Wednesday, the Ladies play the ﬁ rst-round of the Burgess Cup for a trophy donated by Maida O’Mally. On Saturday, there is a Stableford event for a trophy donated by Sue Richardson.
