Longrunning bike saga; Hardings edges towards track DA approval

Volunteers rip-in to get prepped, for 118th Narromine Agricultural Show Some of the committee and other helpers with tools and cleaning equipment in hand. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By ANDREW TARRY IN what has been a saga unfolding for more than twoand-a-half years, one local family’s journey to apply for approval of a motocross track, has now achieved a significant milestone.

For a long time, the Harding family have been attempting to obtain DA approval for the circuit on their property, which they say will be used by their children to practice on.

The family has, however, made multiple attempts to get Council approval, only to be knocked-back over a range of issues; noise pollution, dust pollution; and stormwater drainage, despite providing a number of updated plans, adjustments, and concessions.

Finally, at Council’s August meeting, the Harding family received positive news, as a vote was successful to allow the project to proceed with DA approval (with conditions).

Thursday, August 24, 2023 Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region NARROMINE STAR

NSW Government increases cash bonuses, for bush health workers THE State government have announced that it is increasing the incentives offered to healthcare workers to relocate to remote and rural areas from $10, 000 to $20,000.

The increase is part of is “commitment to attract and retain more skilled staff ” in regional and rural areas which have vacancies in critical roles.

The increase is an attempt by the NSW government to address the longstanding issue of practitioner and skills shortages which has been become increasing more severe and complicated over the past several years.

Most regional health districts across NSW have nurs-

ing shortages, particularly around nurses with emergency skills for smaller facilities.

Regional, rural, and remote communities have struggled for a long time to attract and maintain health practitioners of different kinds. Long wait lists, lack of emergency care and specialised services and advice are all obstacles such communities have to deal with. From a statistical perspective, the reduce accessibility and quality of healthcare results in inequitable healthcare outcomes.

The boost to the incentives from the government is provided by the Rural Health Workforce Incentive Scheme which facilitates a range of:

“financial and non-financial incentives above typical remuneration packages for candidates in eligible roles and locations.”

These packages can include additional benefits like a salary boost, sign-on bonus, and retention payments of up to $20,000 per annum. There can also be relocation assistance and housing, additional leave and access to training and education provided.

NSW Premier, Chris Minns said the announcement is good news for everyone in rural NSW. “No matter where you live in NSW, you should have access to vital services, but that isn’t possible without our essential

health workers,” he said.

“I’m confident, that by doubling the incentives on offer, we can attract more health staff to our regions,” he added.

It is hoped that the Government, by doubling the incentives for the hardest-to-fi ll positions: “will encourage more workers to take opportunities” in regional, rural and remote areas.

The incentives also work on a scale system meaning that the package a healthcare worker receives is increased in value the more remote the location of their position.

The Premier’s comments were supported by the NSW Health Minister, Ryan Park.

“I’m confident today’s an-

nouncement, together with our recently approved expansion of the Single Employer Model, will result in more clinicians choosing to further their careers in regional NSW. “I’m determined to tackle some of the key healthcare issues facing our regional communities including prioritising the regional health workforce,” Mr Park added.

The incentives will come into effect immediately.

As the pandemic showed, having access to vital health services and workers is critical at all times and ensuring that people who live in regional to remote areas are not disadvantage is an important task.

“WHICH of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him”. Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” (Luke 10: 36-37).

This is one of Jesus’ most famous parables. Today, laws are even named after this parable. “Good Samaritan Laws” protect people who help other people.

What would have happened to the man on the road to Jericho, if the Samaritan hadn’t come along? He would have died. The Samaritan saved his life.

The Samaritan didn’t think about himself. He saw someone in need and responded, as if that stranger were a member of his own family.

He treated the wounded man, the same way he would have wanted to be treated.

He paid the entire expense and offered to pay even more if necessary. What a great friend! Wouldn’t you like to have a friend like that?

Shakespeare FUNERALS DUBBO

Praise the Lord, we do.

Without thinking about himself, Jesus has saved us. Jesus met us in his travels and gently lifted us out of the dirt and sin. We didn’t do anything to deserve this mercy, but we can spend the rest of our lives trying to model it as good as the Samaritan.

There is only one door to Heaven. Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, “Sir, open the door for us”, but he will answer, “I don’t know you or where you come from””.

(Luke 13: 24-25) Oh, yes, there is only one door to Heaven. The Devil has tricked many people into thinking they can “earn” their way to Heaven. Some people think that if they just do enough good things, they will go to heaven when they die.

But this is not true, it is a

lie. We can never be goodenough to deserve Heaven. No matter how hard we try, we have been marked by sin. And God cannot look upon sin. Sin has to be covered by an acceptable, perfect sacrifice.

That’s why Jesus said he is the only way, the truth, and the life. He is the door to God. Wouldn’t it be sad if people didn’t hear the truth about Jesus’ way to God? Some people will mistakenly think they know God, because they learn about many spiritual “paths”.

But if they don’t know Jesus, then they don’t know God either. There is only one door to heaven and that door is Jesus.

PRAYER: Holy God, help us to truly love our neighbours, and thank-you for giving us Jesus as a door to Heaven, a door to your kingdom. Please help us to remember, we need faith as well as works to enter Heaven. Amen.

Black-spot comm’s upgrade for all emergency services vehicles

By ANDREW TARRY FIRE and Rescue NSW and NSW State Emergency Services (SES) vehicles have received a significant boost in overcoming dangerous blackspots during emergencies.

More than 1300 vehicles have had mobile Wi-Fi equipment installed which enables them to access 4G or satellite communication during incident responses.

“Communications black spots have long been a challenge for fi rst response agencies and can seriously hamper efforts to respond in emergencies and disasters,” Emergency Services Minister Jihad Dib, said.

“Since March, more than 400 SES vehicles have installed these new systems, and we have now completed the fit-out to more than 900 Fire and Rescue NSW vehicles,” he added.

Although the new technology won’t result in the permanent removal of communica-

tion black-spots it will help fi rst responders immensely when trying to communicate to other teams and services.

Large events like bushfi res are capable of quickly destroying communication infrastructure making it hard to coordinate resources and personal to manage the incident, especially if the blaze stretches over a long distance.

Upgrading these vehicles to enable communication through satellite ensures that communication will still be possible if the land based 4G or radio connectivity is unavailable. The importance of this development was highlighted by NSW Premier, Chris Minns, who said that he had visited many communities impacted by natural disasters over the past few months and knows that the Government must be doing everything they can to improve the emergency response of NSW emergency services.

“Whether it’s telling people

to evacuate, getting latest advice and emergency communications through to communities who may be cut off — this new equipment is crucial to that work. That is why we are providing our fi rst responders with technology they can rely on to overcome connectivity challenges,” Mr Minns said.

“These new systems are an important step forward in adapting our response to disasters and emergencies and supporting our combat agencies to provide help faster, where and when it’s needed,” he added.

The technology is described as “cutting-edge” and “highly-resilient”, and will enable fi refighters and NSW SES members to continue using radios, mobile phones, and other handheld devices, anywhere at any time.

The means the vehicles act as a “node” and will enhance connectivity and voice clarity, “leading to greater interoperability with other emer-

gency services and improved situational awareness during operations.”

A feature of the new technology will also allow for mobile phone and live video streaming connectivity for fi rst responders. The video streaming aspect enables emergency services to share live footage from the incident heightening situational awareness for ground crews.

The increased capability for Fire and Rescue, SES vehicles and personnel is seen as an important upgrade to the capacity for those services given the substantial damage the communications network suffered during the black summer fi res a few years ago. Communities across NSW especially those in remote or rural areas which already contend with communication blackspots will benefit from have the new technology in potential crises.

The implementation of the new technology has been 12 months in the making with

the government coordinating with Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW SES. Deputy Commissioner for Fire and Rescue NSW, Megan Stiffler, was keen to promote the advancement in vehicle capability, pointing out that the latest technology allows the closest fi re-truck to an incident to be deployed.

NSW SES commissioner, Carlene York also spoke positively about the installation on the vehicles arguing that the benefit of switching to satellite connectivity when mobile broadband connection or the public safety network has an outage will: “keep members in communication with each other and with the State Operations Centre,” she said.

The technology is now standard for any new vehicles acquired by Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW SES across the state ensuring that wherever there is a disaster, connectivity and communication will remain.

Long-running bike saga; Hardings edges towards track DA approval From page 1 The Harding family were present at the meet with significant support, to see the vote go in their favour.

Luke Harding said that it is a “relief” to finally be moving forward with the approval, which will now go to another vote at the September Council Meeting to finally okay the DA. He acknowledged that any approval, will also likely include restrictions and conditions on the use of the track.

However, after the turmoil

of two years seeking Council’s green light, any approval is welcomed.

Mr Harding said that, it has been difficult to explain to their kids, why they haven’t been able to use the track on their property, when they pass so many places with tracks on the way to motocross events and meets.

When asked about the reaction and mood of the family to the news, Mr Harding said that his children were excited and can’t wait to get on the track.

Throughout the process, the

Grain Quality Coordinator - Qube Agri Narromine

Harding family supplied documentation which they hoped would mitigate or respond to the multiple issues that Council had with their development application.

The main concern, seemed to be the level of noise pollution that the motorbikes would create. The Council have argued that, due to the zoning requirements of the area which the track is built in, the noise pollution would affect residents living within several hundred meters.

In response, the Harding family sought consultation

from an acoustic specialist with the family also suggesting in the documents they provided, that they would only ride a few days a week at certain times.

After much deliberation, including a petition set-up by the Harding family, and further consultation which the Council sought over the potential impacts of the track, Council passed a motion in favour of supporting the DA. Councillor Lachlan Roberts put forward the motion that the Council proceed towards approving the DA, which was

carried at the Council meeting held on Wednesday, August 9.

As a result, Council have put a compliance order on the application for the track. This means that the track still cannot be used, until Council grants consent for its approval but, considering the difficulty in getting to this point, it is seen as a positive step.

The Harding family are now looking forward to the potential use of the track, hopefully sometime later in the year. For the meantime, more patience is required as the Harding kids continue their long wait.

Old railwayman, Allan, crosses continent; in great train journey

Well-known local man, Allan Kearines, recently had a trip that he had dreamed-of for many years, travelling on the Indian-Pacific train from Sydney to Perth, with his son, Greg. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. NO-ONE loves a great train journey, quite like an old railwayman!

Well-known local man, Allan Kearines, recently had a trip that he has dreamed-of, for many years.

Together with his son, Greg, he fi nally got to fulfi l this dream travelling on the Indian-Pacific train from Sydney

to Perth.

Allan joined NSW Railways in 1959, working for 38 years and retiring in 1997 when the then-government decided to contract-out the work maintaining the lines.

During his time on the line, he worked all over NSW in various positions including, in January 1990, joining other

Ready to go!

workers on the South Coast for six weeks repairing the drainage on the South Coast line.

Later that year, he was instrumental in organising the re-opening of the main western line at Nyngan after the devastating floods, before moving onto Cobar to repair the many areas that had also been washed-away.

It was after this work was completed, that he received a Certificate of Excellence for his work organising the re-opening of this line.

One of the highlights of his career, was travelling alongside many of the Narromine railway workers to assist with the repair of timbers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge over

a number of weekends.

Allan thoroughly enjoyed his trip on the train, and also the time that he and his son spent in Perth, and is now planning a trip on the Ghan next year. Because, in the end, there’s nothing quite like, the romance of rail!

Helping-out with umpiring cost burden — Narromine Netball gets GrainCorp support

By GINNI BROWN

NARROMINE Netball Club were thrilled to recently be announced as recipients of sponsorship from the GrainCorp Community Fund in 2023.

GrainCorp’s sponsorships program is designed to specifically support regional sporting clubs and community events so as to ensure social inclusion and positive health outcomes for their employees, customers, and broader communities.

Narromine plays in the Dubbo Netball Association competition, where, from Under 10’s and up, all umpires are paid for their game management.

This represent a significant cost as Narromine fields a total of 10 teams over the 14-round season, plus the final’s rounds.

GrainCorp’s support runs for the Club until 2025, and the Committee is extremely thankful for the support.

“Umpiring fees are one of our biggest costs,” President, Krista Morrisey, said.

“To have a company like GrainCorp recognise this, and assist with meeting them, is of massive benefit,” she added.

GrainCorp’s Stacey Irvine attended the recent mini-gala day to meet some of the junior umpires who have benefitted from the funding.

“GrainCorp are proud to support local sports organisations through the Community Fund,” Mr Irvine said.

“The future is bright for these kids as they develop their skills and confidence in the game, through both participating and umpiring,” he added.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK ral Member Federal arkes for Parkes

Ground-breaking Baaka Cultural Centre I WAS thrilled to be part of the ground-breaking ceremony for the Baaka Cultural Centre project last week in Wilcannia.

After some setbacks, this $9.5 million project is finally underway, and I can’t wait to see the old Knox and Downs building in Wilcannia’s main street, transformed into a fabulous centre for Baakantji culture.

This project has been made possible through funding from the previous Coalition Federal and State Governments, and my hope is that it will be a great benefit to the people of Wilcannia, as well as all those who visit this remarkable town.

Speaking-up for free speech IF, like me, you have concerns about Labor’s proposed “Misinformation” Bill, please sign the online petition to protect freedom of speech from this deeply-flawed proposal.

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo

Modular housing idea for the bush REGIONAL communities across NSW are suffering from a double shortage blow. It’s a classic “Catch 22”, between needing more workers across the board, and needing more accommodation to house them.

Whichever way you look at it,

Shovel-ready! Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, attends the ground-breaking ceremony for Wilcannia’s Baaka Cultural Centre project last week. PHOTO: PARKES ELECTORATE.

ON Friday, my wife Robyn and

I attended events in Coolah to commemorate Veterans Day. On this day, we paused to honour the 60,000 Australian troops who served in Vietnam. We remembered the 523 who died, and the nearly 3000 wounded. Each represented the values of our original ANZACs. We are proud of their service; and how they contributed to the safety of our coun-

try and our region. We also thanked the 63,740 Australians drafted for national service, our “Nashos”, who so ably enhanced our war effort.

Vietnam Veterans’ Day falls on August 18, which marks the Battle of Long Tan in 1966.

This was one of the heaviest Australian engagements of the war, when 108 soldiers held-off an enemy 2000 strong; wound-

ing 25 and taking the lives of 18 Australians including Paul Large of Coolah, who was just 21-years-old.

It was very moving to remember the sacrifices of our service personnel and their loved ones, especially as the family of Paul Large were part of the service held at Coolah, a tribute to his life and the lives of so many lost to war.

one problem cannot be fixed without solving the other, especially when housing in regional areas is becoming both unaffordable and unavailable to those on medium-to-low incomes.

Modular housing is one of my big-ticket items as NSW Nationals Leader, and it is one of the main solutions we need to look at to stem the regional housing shortage.

It provides a real opportunity to activate some of our struggling rural communities because it can be used as a short, medium, and long-term fix.

Why modular? Put simply, they are efficient, quick, and easy to build and not limited by location. They can be built anywhere and transported

anywhere for installation, involving either private, Council-owned, or Crown Land, which we have done in places like Cooma.

Another reason we should back the “modern modular revolution”, is because they can be built to specifications, in a range of different designs, to fit with the needs of the community. This can mean one, two, or three-bedroom designs to suit any worker.

When we talk about modular housing, we no longer talk about second-rate housing options, but modern, comfortable, and efficient homes, that are, most-importantly, affordable options for our regional workers and residents.

State and Local Governments need to start looking at

modular housing to unleash the potential of our regional towns and cities, and to make sure people see the bush as a home, and not just a stopover.

Sign the Regional Seniors Travel Card petition!

I AM urging everyone to sign the petition to help save the Regional Seniors Travel Card!

After cutting-off applications for the card in July, Labor announced recently, a four cents per litre reduction in fuel for seniors at United service stations.

This is a weak attempt to compensate eligible seniors, and the most genuine sign so far, that Labor plans

An eligible senior with a vehicle that has a 60-litre fuel tank, would save $2.40 each time they fi ll it from empty, and would need to do that 105 times a year in order to save more than the $250 they do with our Regional Seniors Travel Card. That’s basically twice a week.

Labor should keep the Regional Seniors Travel Card because it was a good program that made a meaningful difference to the lives of elderly residents in our regional communities.

Until next time, Dugald

Classroom News

A day in the life of Kinder at St Augustine’s School

KINDERGARTEN, for most, is the start of a 13-year educational journey that takes us all the way to adulthood, but how has the fi rst formal year of education, changed, from when you were at school?

This photo essay covers “One Day in the Life” of the 2023 Kindergarten class for St Augustine’s Parish School at Narromine,. It was put together by the teachers and other staff at the school.

We thank them for their wonderful efforts (and to the littlies, who are the stars of the show!)

In Kinder, we start each morning with whole-class phonics (language).

We review previously-taught sounds and actions, syllables, rhyming words, and punctuation. Each week, we are introduced to a new sound; this week, our sound is “th” for “thin” and “this”. We also use our own individual mini-whiteboards to interact with the lesson.

We then move into Literacy, where we read a “decodable text” at our own level. Our teacher helps-us focus on “sounding-out” words, and using our phonological (speech) knowledge from the previous session, to “decode” unknown words. We also complete comprehension activities, to ensure that we are listening, and understanding, what we are reading.

Then, it is play-break, when we can have a piece of fruit and a short play with our friends. This break increases blood-flow to the brain, which helps us to focus and stay alert for our next session.

Once we return to the classroom, we move into small groups for Writing. We are explicitly taught how to structure a compound sentence, and to use interesting adjectives to make our writing more engaging for the audience. We then work on our independent skills, logging onto our own Chromebooks and accessing a program called “Fast phonics” to help consolidate our phonological knowledge. During this time, our teacher works one-on-one with us to give us individual help.

We then all look forward to Recess where we can have something to eat and play with our friends, and also the children in the stage above us. We like to play in the sandpit and games such as “Bullrush” and “Two Bounce”.

11

After Recess, it is Mathematics. We always start our lesson with counting forwards to 120, and backwards from 20. We are working-on counting from any given number in the range of 0-100. This week, we are looking at the process of sharing objects equally, and putting shared objects back together to form one collection. This helpsus develop an understanding of the link between multiplication and division, and provides the foundation for a conceptual understanding of their inverse relationship.

At Lunch, we all sit together. We love to have a chat about our favourite toys and sports, before playing on the playground. Some of our favourite things to do at lunch, are cricket, soccer, and playing in the sandpit with our friends.

After lunch, we spend six minutes listening to “Smiling Minds”, which gives-us the skills, strategies, and mindset, that can support mental well-being and fostering a positive and proactive approach to mental health.

Once we have put a smile on our brain, we are ready for our afternoon subject. This afternoon is Science, and we are learning about weather and how it is all around us every day. We are learning about why we have weather, what the different kinds of weather are, and how weather affects our lives. Today, we were scientists, and needed to find some differences between the sun and the shade. To do this, we found out what happens to a cup of iced-water in the sun, and what happens to a cup of water in the shade. As scientists, we made predictions about what we think will happen.

At the end of the day, it is time to say goodbye to our friends and teachers, until tomorrow!

Narromine Rockets Coach, Skye Morrissey, with Assistant Coach, Maddy Pratten, at Narromine Netball Club’s first-ever “MiniGala Day”.

By GINNI BROWN NARROMINE Netball Club hosted their first fantastic “Mini-Gala Day” over the weekend, welcoming junior teams from Dubbo and Narromine in the U8 and U10 divisions.

In the fi nal results, the Saints Phoenix team won the U10 division on a count-back from the Narromine Fairymoths in a verytight competition, with the Saints Bluebirds victorious in the U8 division, where the teams were playing in their fi rst-ever gala day.

A beautiful day saw a large number of supporters at the courts, Club Committee Member, Jemma Wallace, said.

“We were really happy with the turnout,”

Members of the Narromine Netball Club Committee running their first fantastic “MiniGala Day”.

Gemma added.

“It’s great to see so many players keen to participate in days outside the regular Saturday competition, and we appreciate all the teams who travelled to get here,” she enthused.

Alkane Resources made the day possible with their sponsorship, and a great day was had by all participants.

Narromine Netball Club also thanked Narromine Shire Council, Monoghans Butchery, Narromine Pharmacy, LJ Hooker, and GrainCorp, for their support of the Club.

The success means that the Club is looking forward to hosting the same event again in 2024.

NARROMINE Gorillas Reserve Grade went into the grand final of the Central West Rugby Union New Holland Cup competition, having only conceded one defeat all season, but were facing their fierce opponents, the Mudgee Wombats, who handed them their only loss.

The game was hard-fought and tries went to Justin Clarke, who converted and also kicked two penalties, scoring 13 of the 18 Gorilla points on the day, ably supported by Joeli Leweni, who also went-over for an excellent try.

Clarke’s performance all game was top-shelf with a considerable breeze influencing ball-play on the day. However, this did not stop Clarke form slotting one of his penalties neatly from the sideline. It was a tight scoreline all day after Mudgee scored the fi rst try and came-back to within three points of the Gorillas with minutes to go, with the fi nal score, 18-15.

The Gorillas didn’t play the most outstanding rugby of the season during the grand fi nal, but worked on fitness in the leadup to the game and the team defi-

nitely set the benchmark in this regard. Despite Mudgee’s dominance in possession, they defended strongly until the last whistle.

Paddy McCutcheon, one of the Second Grade coaches, told the story of their success. “The Club has a wonderful mix of youth and age across both grades; It is wonderful to see,” he said.

“I think the Club in a great position with young players taking ownership and steering the Club in an upward direction,” he added.

McCutcheon also acknowledged Michael Harris, a Club stalwart, as the game marked the end of his playing career with the Gorillas.

“Mick has been such a big part of the Club, as both a player and Committee Member during his time in Narromine, and it was fitting to go-out with a grand fi nal victory to mark his last game” he said.

The Gorillas also thanked all their sponsors, the committee, supporters and, especially the players’ families, for all their hard work in a memorable season.

“Well done, Red Fellas!”

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE SEMI-FINALS, WEEK ONE

Roosters crow and Jets fire-up, in exciting race to grand final

By BRYSON LUFF IT was a mixed fi rst week of the semi-fi nals in the 2023 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, with some close-results, blow-out scores, and sombre sadness for the passing of a footballing colleague, featuring.

Played in breezy conditions at Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval, the Cobar Roosters had managed to come back from an eight-nil deficit early in proceedings in their qualifying semi-fi nal against the Dunedoo Swans. They clawed their way back on the scoreboard to have it reading eight-all at the break, courtesy of a converted try and then a penalty goal right on the half-time siren.

Their momentum then carried them to a 16-8 lead in the second-half, before the Swans centre, Villiame Turuva, scored his third try for the afternoon to bring it back to 16-14; and very much game-on!

Tim Hillam’s second try for the Roosters gave them a bit of breathing space, extending their lead out to eight at 22-14.

With tensions running high in both camps, the final quarter of the match saw a Cobar player binned and a Dunedoo player sent-off with 15 minutes remaining, following an old-fashioned dust-up.

When the sin-binned Rooster eventually rejoined the fray with just five minutes to go, his place in the “foul house” was quickly taken-up by two more sin-binned Roosters, which presented the Swans with a great opportunity to breach the Cobar defensive line.

However, despite their best efforts to do just that, the Roosters managed to hold their line intact to secure the victory and a shot at hosting the 2023 grand fi nal when they play Gulgong next Saturday.

The day at Dunedoo actually began on a sombre and emotional note, with a minute’s silence being observed in respect of the untimely passing of Coonabarabran Unicorn player, Kyle Turner, the day before.

With his Number 11 jersey retired, the Unicorn’s Reserve Grade went on to record a strong win over the Roosters, 42-6.

The Roosters also tasted defeat in the League Tag match against the Narromine Jets although they certainly made a game of it, coming back from being down 28-8 at half-time to be trailing by only 2820 early in the second-half, before the Jets regrouped and went on to win by 38-20.

On Sunday at Narromine, a minute’s silence for Kyle Turner was again observed before the First-Grade elimination semi-final between Narromine Jets and the Coonabarabran Unicorns kicked-off.

The Unicorns got away to a great start and led by 10-6 midway through the fi rst-half, before the Jets levelled it in the 26th minute and, from that point on, they took control of the game with their flying winger “Freddy” Joji, dazzling

the crowd (and the Unicorn defence) with his stunning footwork and pace which saw him race in for four tries and play a major contribution to the fi nal scoreline that had his team come away with a big 50-20 victory.

The Jets centre, Washington Itoya, also figured prominently, bagging three tries in the victory.

The lower grades saw the Gilgandra Panthers Reserve Grade side score a 22-20 win over the Gulgong Terriers in extra-time ,and the reigning League Tag premiers, the Baradine Magpies remain in the semi-fi nals with a 24-10 win over Coonamble.

Next weekend will see the major semi-fi nals be played at Gulgong on Saturday, and the minor semis at Dunedoo on Sunday.

By the time the Cobar Roosters First Grade side get home after their major semi-fi nal game against the Gulgong Terriers, they will have travelled some 4600 kilometres to play their last six games, a distance greater than driving from Sydney to Perth (and 600 kilometres off the way back)!

Obviously, they will be relishing the prospect of securing the home game that will be forthcoming from their match against the Terriers, but the question is, will it be the grand fi nal on Saturday, September 9, or the preliminary fi nal a week earlier, on Saturday, September 2?

To get to host the grand fi nal, is the prize on offer for both the Roosters and the Terriers this Saturday. The big question is: “Can the Roosters be the fi rst team to defeat the Terriers in season 2023?”

The two times that the teams have met thus far, has seen Gulgong come away with a 34-20 win at Cobar in Round Nine, winning again 36-24 at Gulgong just a couple of weeks ago in the fi nal competition round.

The winning margins of 14 and 12, would indicate that the Roosters have been competitive in both games and perhaps with a bit of luck they could upset the Terriers, all be it, a difficult task to do, at Billy Dunn Oval.

The other grades on Saturday are very high-quality affairs with a local derby clash in the Reserves between the Baradine Magpies and Coonabarabran Unicorns starting proceedings, followed by the absolute blockbuster League Tag game between the undefeated Dunedoo Swans and the Narromine Jets who have only lost the one game this year, that being to the Swans with a 16-12 scoreline.

On Sunday at Dunedoo, the Dunedoo Swans and the Narromine Jets will again clash, this time in the sudden-death First Grade semi-final.

The Swans won 38-30 in their only meeting so far this year, but they have run into injury problems late in the season, and will have to dig deep to hold the Jets out.

The other grades will see the Cobar Roosters figure in both games, taking-on Gilgandra in Reserve Grade, and the Baradine Magpies

in League Tag.

Christie and Hood Castlereagh League semifinal scores Qualifying semi-finals played at Dunedoo on Saturday, August 19.

Reserve Grade Coonabarabran 42 (Sam Pickette 3, James Walton 2, Luke Taylor 2, Chris Wallis, Will Abbot tries, Billy Whillock 2, Walton goals) defeated Cobar 6 (Shane Surridge try, Chris Deighton goal). Half time Coonabarabran 22 Cobar 0.

BOWLS NOTES

Teams contest Gub Thorne Day at Narromine

By NORM BOHM GUB Thorne Day was a huge success, some 18 teams from right across the state were in attendance and the window tappers certainly got their money’s worth as the play-offs were enthralling matches to fi nalize the day.

The overall winners were the Macquarie trio of Trevor Tink, Sonny Hall and Nathan Collis who just edged out Steve Riley, Jimmy Daley and James Daley in the three-end shootout. Terry McDonald and teammates from Bathurst were the unlucky side, missing the prize money by a “Bee’s D’. My thanks to all my elves, particularly Carol who helped keep the show on track.

We had reasonable numbers take to the greens for Social Bowls this week on Thursday and Sunday. Results: On Thursday Des Lincoln, Bob Davis and Dave McNair had the best Card, albeit just from Robert French (yep, the Frenchman had a game) along with Ray Anthony and Terry McDonald, who also had a good win.

On Sunday morning, Carl Moore and Lionel Ayoub were the pick of the bunch, with Lionel getting the ‘Iron Man Award’ for backing up after a tuff run Saturday.

Our Pennant Squad need to win their final fi xture at home against Macquarie Club this Sunday and to that effect the teams at this stage are: Team one: Kevin Rider, James Daley, Ben Clark, and John Edwards.

Team two: Steve Buttsworth, Adam Jermyn, Robbie Stanford, and Henry Buttsworth.

Not too sure if the fi nal of the Consistency Singles between ‘BEAVER’ and ‘BOPPER’ will be the main bill of fare on Saturday, but at this stage that’s ‘plan a’.

Well, that’s it for me this week, hope to catch up with you up at the ‘bowly’ during the week!

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

Cobar Picnic Meeting, Saturday, August 19 A WINNING treble, including the cup for Dubbo trainer Connie Greig, and a double for local trainer Wayne Prisk were highlights on Saturday at the Cobar Picnic meeting.

Connie Greig has the bulk of qualifiers for the $50,000 Picnic Final at Coonamble in October, and Gossip emerged as a leading contender with a dominant win in the 1700-metres DJW And Wells Ventilation Cobar Picnic Cup. During the current picnic season, Gossip had won the cups at Tomingley and Wean, and also the Cobar Copper Cup at the professional meeting, and topped-off the preparation with a third at the Dubbo TAB meeting last week.

Ridden by leading picnic jockey Leandro Ribeiro, Gossip (the $2.30 favourite) travelled third to the home turn then took control for a twoand-a-half lengths win over Broo Boss (Ricky Blewitt at $10) and Merdeka (Grady Spokes at $2.80).

Leandro Ribeiro was also aboard the Connie Greigtrained Belle ‘O Ballee (at $3.60), which collared the leader, Big Arjay turning for home, before racing to a convincing win from Sons Of Bourke (John Wilson on the $2.50 favourite), and Jawsome (Zara Lewis at $17) in the 1200-me-

tres Copper Sprint Trophy Handicap.

Over June and July, Belle ‘O Ballee had won successive picnic races at Bligh, Duck Creek, and Wean.

First season rider, Grady Spokes is a very promising young jockey, and he travelled from Coffs Harbour to take the mount on Cranky Creed for Connie Greig in the opening event, the 1000-metres Nutrien Russell Class B Handicap.

Placed in TAB races earlier this year at Dubbo, Parkes, Mudgee, Orange, and Coonamble, Cranky Creed was at a generous $4 quote, with stablemate, Twin Seas starting as the $1.70 favourite.

From third position, Cranky Creed accelerated to an over five lengths win from Twin Seas (Leandro Ribeiro) and the leader, Jackal (Zara Lewis at $4).

Wayne Prisk contributes a lot to racing at Cobar and other western area tracks, and they were popular results when he won with Banjo Shark and Sun Master.

Formerly from Victoria, Banjo Shark soon after joining the Prisk stable, won a barrier trial at Narromine.

However, he ran off the track after the fi nish and needed some remedial work from the Cobar trainer.

Straight to the lead in the 1000-metres Tyre Doctor Maiden Plate, Banjo Shark completed a double for Grady Spokes when holding-on to beat Flying Dubawi (Zara Lewis at $7) and Galleries Supreme (John Wilson at $15).

Sending the locals home happy, the Wayne Prisktrained Sun Master (at $4.60) with John Wilson in the saddle, led throughout when a runaway four-and-a-half lengths winner over Queens-

land visitor, The Sabbath (Grady Spokes at $4.40), and Sausage Sizzle (Zara Lewis at $3.80) in the 1400-metres Sullivans Mining And Hardware Class B Handicap.

Narromine Meeting, Sunday, August 20 FAMILY and friends travelled from the north-west at Brewarrina to watch Ronald Simpson in action at this meet, and the talented young apprentice did not disappoint, when he rode a winning treble, including on Notabadidea in the Cup race, on Sunday at Narromine.

Simpson is apprenticed to Clint Lundholm and the Dubbo trainer supplied the three winners, Zap Yah, Skyforger, and the eight-year-old gelding, Notabadidea.

Since coming to Lundholm in 2021 from Randwick stables, Notabadidea had raced consistently with good performances including wins in the Gilgandra Cup and Coonabarabran Cup, and good standard races at Wellington and Dubbo.

With a good crowd in attendance, Canberra galloper, She’s All In, led the Scone-trained Two Big Fari in the run to the home turn, with Notabadidea racing in the middle of the field in the 1600-metres Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Narromine Gold Cup. Ronald Simpson gained an uninterrupted run on the inside and Notabadidea (at $6) fi nished gamely to win by three-quarters of a length from Two Big Fari (Madeline Owen on the $4.80 equal-favourite) and She’s All In (Braith Nock at $10).

Debutant, Zap Yah (at $3.50) and Skyforger (at $4.20) both

won by narrow margins, after Simpson made perfectly-timed runs from the back of the field in the 1100-metres Nutrien Ag Solutions Country Boosted Maiden Handicap and 1200-metres Narromine Shire Council Class 1 Handicap, respectively.

Prominent Scone-based trainer, Rod Northam won the 1300-metres Douglas Egan Memorial Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap with the well-performed Fabulous Choice.

Leading most of the way, Fabulous Choice (Chelsea Hillier on the 2.60 favourite) heldon to beat Owhata Crumpet (Andrew Banks at $51) and Sin City Belle (Simpson).

Local winners are always popular on Cup Day, and it was a double for father-and-daughter, the Narromine-based trainers, Wayne Collison and Kylie Kennedy.

Sent for a spell after a debut start in November, the Wayne Collison-trained Heza Comet was set for a bold showing in the 800-metres Macquarie Clothing Maiden Handicap.

Eased around the leaders heels halfway down the straight by Tony Cavallo, Heza Comet (at $8) scored by a half-a-length from Fruit Tingle (Anna Roper at $5.50) with over two lengths to the $1.95 favourite, Dendina (Jake Pracey-Holmes).

Following a good run when second to Divine Sinner at Dubbo, the Kylie Kennedy-trained Lipstick Lil (Will Stanley on the $3.30 favourite) charged-home from off-thepace to win the 1300-metres AG Auto Spark Benchmark 58 Handicap by almost twolengths from Shikishi (Billy Cray at $10) and Hemsted (Wendy Peel at $16).

A field of speedsters lined-

up for the feature sprint the 800-metres QUBE Agri Benchmark 66 Handicap and, turning for home, it was The Big Seal, Bold Offa, and Just A Flash vying for the lead.

Owned by Harry Barclay and Mrs Barclay from Warren, and trained at Dubbo by Brett Robb, Castlebar Road (Grant Buckley at $5.50) swept down the outside to beat The Big Seal (Jake Pracey-Holmes at $5.50) by a length with Bring The Rabble (Anna Roper on the $4 favourite) a close third.

Cowra trainer Barry Wall, with a small team of bargain-basement horses, has achieved good results including the $700 purchase, Deshawn, the winner of eight races.

Latest to join the stable is Yael’s Delight, winner of the 1300-metres Geronimo Farm Equipment Maiden Plate with Mathew Cahill in the saddle.

Painite, the $3.20 favourite, led from Sensei Jackie until well in the straight, but it was Yael’s Delight (at $16) fi nishing best to beat Sensei Jackie (Ronald Simpson at $21) and King Qin (Serg Lisnyy at $91).

Dubbo trainer, Michael Lunn, might also have a handy stayer on his hands in the lightly-raced four-year-old mare, Our City.

Three starts back, Our City powered home from the tail of the field to win over 1400-metres at Dubbo, and it was another strong win over the 1600-metre trip in the Narromine USMC Class 1 and Maiden Plate.

Bursting through the pack from near last, Our City (Mikayla Weir at $26) overwhelmed Dealbreaka (Mathew Cahill on the $1.90 favourite) and Anxiety (Will Stanley at $101).

King in close win

Quiet weekend for golf as footie semi’s run-on

PLAY for Gerrie’s Golf competition last Wednesday, drew a field of only seven players, however, it was a competitive game enjoyed by all.

Ross King, who has been knocking at the door in recent weeks, eventually broke-through for a great win with 24 points. He really gave his close friend and rival, Chris Harding, a lesson on how to win! Harding was second on 23 points and, no doubt, the handicapper will deal with you both.

Bob Fletcher, last week’s winner, claimed the weekly NAGA prize on 11 points with no winner of the Nearest the Pin prize.

Due to the small attendance, there was no Pool Competition played.

A reminder to all the Gerries who are mostly members of the Veterans Club — the Narromine Club has been honoured to be awarded the Men’s Veterans NSW Sand Greens Four Ball State Championships on the weekend of September 16–17.

This is a major event on the Veterans Championship Calendar, and we are hoping for a top field. Entry forms for the event are available in the Clubhouse and on the NSW Veterans website.

Entries for the event close on Tuesday, September 12 with an 18-hole Stableford events for Ladies on each of these days; please support this major NSW event.

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

LAST weekend was fairly quiet in Narromine for golf; no doubt due to the fact that the local footie clubs were both engaged in their semi-fi nal series; good luck to the Jets and Gorillas!

At the Club on Saturday, a total of 14 players took to the course for the 18-Hole Canadian Foursome event, which was sponsored by Mitch Smith and Rob Burns.

The round was won by Tony Harding and Greg Barling with a score of 68.575 — I’m not sure how the decimal points are decided! Runners-up were Tony Mann and Duane Faro-Mann on 70 points with the Nearest-the-Pin prizes going to Tony Mann on the third, and Ross King on the 17th; the long-drive on the fi rst went to Matt Brown.

An even quieter Sunday had only 10 players hit-off in the Stableford competition. Steve Squires maintained his topform for victory with 36 points.

He won on a count-back from Kale Bock, also on 36; it was good to see “Bocky” back in the winner’s circle.

It proved a real field day for Bocky, who also won the longdrive on the fi rst hole. Near-

Veterans Championships won by Jeffery, Harding

est-the-pins on Sunday went to Steve Squires on the ninth, and Rob Knight on the 10th.

The drawn Birdie Jackpot was not won.

Planned events for next weekend include, on Saturday, August 26, the 18-Hole 4BBB and Shoot-out, Round Eight and, on the Sunday, the 18-Hole Individual Stableford, with, from 9am, the Junior Clinic.

Those interested in being selected in the Club Pennant teams and playing at Trangie, are asked to advise Alex. He has also mentioned, that all Club Match Play rounds must be played by this weekend.

All Veteran golfers are also remined of the Nyngan Open to be played on Saturday, August 26 and that, if you are going to Nyngan, please let Secretary Norm know, so he can advise Nyngan for catering purposes.

NARROMINE Jets rugby league enjoyed a great footballing weekend, with big wins in their respective fi nals matches for both the LLT (Ladies League Tag) and First Grade sides.

The Ladies started the winning weekend off, with a solid 38-20 victory over the Cobar Roosters at Dunedoo in the Qualifying Semi-Finals.

The girls started the game with a try early-on, however, there were periods of the game where Cobar held the majority of field position and had ample amounts of ball

possession. The Jets though stuck together and worked hard in defence, before the momentum swung-around again the way of the Jets.

The team started running freely with the ball in the second-half, and strung together some great backline moves to score tries with Lucy Dawson bagging a double. This included a great long-distance solo effort down the sideline beating many defenders.

Jacana Powell was also at her attacking best with Shian Chatfield scoring an amazing solo try which included a chip over the top of the Roosters fullback. This was all added

to the tries from Kelsea Phillips, Lily Spackman, and Beth Clarke. There’s no doubt, the LLT team are playing some great footy and are an exciting team to watch.

In contrast, the Jets’ First Grade made a slow start to their Elimination Final as an emotionally fi red-up Coonabarabran Unicorns scored the fi rst try of the match, but the Jets regained their composure to dominate the rest of the game.

The Jets then put together possibly their best game of the season with a high completion rate and a massive effort in defence when needed. The

commitment to training in the last few sessions has certainly paid-off with the team coming together as one unit.

The Jets also welcomed the return of their flying Fijian winger, Freddy Joji ,as he scored four tries with his blistering speed and determined runs. Big games were also had by Alex Sambrook, Blake Richardson, and Luke Thompson, who trampled many defenders in his way. The backline were also busy with Will Olney, Darby Gordon, and Malachi Clarke, all having big games with the team led well

by Captain-Coach Doug Potter, who steered the side around

the park superbly with the final score, 50-20.

This week then the LLT will travel to Gulgong to play the undefeated Dunedoo Swans in the Major Semi-Final with the winner locking-in a spot for the Grand Final.

The First Grade team will travel to Dunedoo to take-on the Dunedoo Swans in the Minor Semi-Final with the loser dropping out of the playoffs. Both days of footy start at 11.30am with Reserve Grade the fi rst games on both days.

Jets officials hope to see a big crowd of red-and-white supporters watching our teams this weekend!
