Remembering the sacrifice of Private Paul Large By DAVID TAYLOR, PRESIDENT, RSL NARROMINE SUB BRANCH ON Friday, August 18 this year, several members of the Narromine RSL Sub-Branch travelled to Coolah to take part in the commemoration of Vietnam Veterans’ Day, which also remembers the Battle of Long Tan in 1966. This day is particularly poignant for Coolah, because one of this town’s own, Private Paul Large, was among the fi rst Australians to fall in the battle. His sisters, Sandra Fleming and Robyn Wesley, facilitated a lunch following the memorial service for all servicemen in the area. The event was well-attended, including by Federal MP, Mark Coulton, and a number of retired Defence Force members who gave enlightening, and at times impassioned perspectives on not only the Vietnam war, but on confl icts in general. The keynote speaker was Lt Colonel EA Chitham MC, OAM (retd). He spoke on, among other points, the fact that in the field, a soldier needs at least six others to support him, including for supplies, medical, administration and transport. This need continues when he/ she leaves the battlefield and, indeed, the service, because on their return home, their welfare depends on immediate family, friends, and the wider community, as they deal with not only any medical conditions, but the ongoing mental and emotional issues.

Rhonda paddles her way to gold medals By EMILY MIDDLETON DONNING the green and gold for the fi rst time, a Trangie local has done Australia proud, after coming home with two gold and two bronze medals in this year’s World Dragon Boating Championships. Rhonda Betts paddled for the Australian team Auroras, over in Thailand for the senior C division. When not on the world stage, you can often fi nd Ms Betts paddling with her local team the Outback Dragons Dubbo. But looking for an extra challenge, Ms Betts tried her hand at applying for the championships. “The selection process started at the end of last year, and we had to put in an expression of interest and a two kilometre row time,” Ms Betts explained. “Then in January, we had a selection camp in Canberra, then we had to go to another selection camp back in Canberra, and from that, the team was selected to represent Australia,” she said. But it didn’t stop there. All team members were required to undergo a rigorous training program, consisting of a six-day weekly gym and on water program. “Shout out to Holly at the Trangie gym - she kicked me into shape!” said Ms Betts. “I also did a lot of kayaking, and there were lots of camps in Newcastle and Sydney for

training. It was pretty full on, but now it’s fi nished, I kind of miss it.” The senior C’s crew medaled
in every event they competed in at the World Dragon Boat Championships, making up two of Australia’s seven gold
medals on the official tally. Continued page 17

Milk of human kindness, flows for Christian School’s breakfast club

Riley Cullen and Ruby Lowe enjoy a bowl of cereal at Christian School’s recently restarted breakfast club.
Milk of human kindness; Narromine Christian School is grateful for Little Big Dairy’s milk donation to its restarted breakfast club. FIRST meal of the day is our most important, something that is especially so for children. So when Narromine Christian School decided to restart its breakfast club following a COVID hiatus, the Home and School Committee, were keen to look to community contributions to assist in donating food to help make the program run. The Little Big Dairy Company — located between Narromine and Dubbo — has partnered not only with NCS, but with schools across the State to supply milk for the program. Last year, the company donated 15,000 litres of milk to support vital breakfast programs for students. “We have schools from Nyngan to Orange, Yass to Newcastle,” Little Big Dairy Company Director, Emma Elliott said.
“Plus, every school in Dubbo that runs a breakfast club, receives our milk,” she added.. Originally a way to manage excess stock levels and manage waste, the program now forms an important part of operations and is an extremely valuable contribution to the community. “We can see the difference in the ability for our students to learn when they start the day with a decent breakfast,” Narromine Christian School Principal, Debbie Robertson said. “We offer breakfast club twice a week to all our students, in order to support our busy families,” she added. The School’s Home and School Committee, is extremely appreciative of the contribution, as are all the students who attend Breakfast Club.

CENTRAL west writers as well as those from farther afield are packing up their pens, stowing their laptops, and preparing to trek to Dubbo in September for the 2023 Dubbo Writers’ Festival. One of the few major literary events to be held west of the Blue Mountains, the by-writers, for-writers, fest, will bring award-winning Australian author, Candice Fox, and other industry professionals to Dubbo for a weekend jam-packed with skill-building, networking, and practical activities. Organised by a dedicated team of volunteers from the Outback Writers’ Centre, the eighth annual Dubbo Writers’ Festival includes a mix of free and paid events. Outback Writers Centre President and event coordinator, Val Clark, believes that the annual celebration, brings great benefit to rural and regional writers. “We connect local writers with publishers, editors, and others well-versed in the field of publishing, giving them opportunities to have a conversation with (industry professionals) and get comment on their work,” Ms Clark said. “The festival also helps writ-
ers build skills in different ways, and to connect with other writers and build relationships,” she added. The Festival’s Author Showcase provides an opportunity for rural and regional published authors to have a table at the official event launch to display and sell their books. Almost 20 authors participated in the inaugural Dubbo Writers’ Festival Author Showcase last year. The Author Showcase is part of the festival launch next month at the Macquarie Regional Library in Dubbo, where Candice Fox will also be interviewed. Ms Fox will also deliver two writing workshops during the festival, provide professional story consultations, and participate in a submission-readiness panel, along with industry professionals, Linda Nix from Lacuna Publishing, and Rochelle Fernandez from the Alex Adsett Literary Agency. “The Dubbo Writers’ Festival has become the festival by-writers, for-writers,” Ms Clark said. “We have tried really strongly to keep that emphasis,” she concluded.

Kye making a run for it — bags gold in cross-country
Wonderful gesture by “Gerries” Geriatrics By DAPHNE JOHNSON, AUXILIARY PRESIDENT NARROMINE Hospital Auxiliary would like to publicly thank the Narromine Geriatric (“Gerries”) Golf Club for their recent generous donation of $500. “As president of the Auxiliary, I received a very pleasant phone call from Terry Willis informing me that the Geriatric Golfers wished to support the Hospital with this donation towards some equipment the Hospital may need,” Daphne Johnson said. “What a wonderful gesture!” The Auxiliary is currently raising funds to assist with the purchase of a new morgue trolley costing almost $30,000. The current trolley being used is approximately 40-years-old. The Hospital is also in need of new specialised shower chairs which we are also purchasing. The Auxiliary’s last major pur-
chase earlier this year, was a stroke chair which enables patients recovering from a stroke to be transported more easily around the hospital and especially to be taken outside to enjoy fresh air and the grounds around the hospital. Our next fundraising event will be our street stall and raffle on Friday, September 8 in the kiosk at the Coles Arcade. There will be cakes, slices, and plants — as well as a bric-a-brac table. Any donations would be most welcome. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has dropped coins and sometimes notes into the plastic cash boxes at our Coles checkouts. A special “thank-you” to the Coles Manager, Matthew, for organising this. And thanks again to the Geriatric “Gerries” golfers, for your wonderful gesture and support.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED. IT’S not every day that a local runner wins gold at a national meeting, but Narromine Public School student, Kye Sultana, has recently achieved just that, and more! Kye put-in an outstanding performance with his fellow NSW teammates at the School Sport Australia National Cross-Country Championships winning the gold medal in the Boys 10–12 years Multiclass Relay. In another fantastic effort, Kye also took home silver in both the Para Boys 12 years individual and team events. Narromine Public Principal, Denise Toohey, said that this is an amazing
achievement with the whole school community proud of Kye’s dedication and hard-work. “Our students are very fortunate to be able to take advantage of the established sporting pathways through the public education system, through the Western School Sports Association and beyond,” Ms Toohey said. “It is wonderful for the students to be able to achieve across different domains of potential and have their hard work and training acknowledged in this way,” she added.

Narromine council avoids by-election By ANDREW TARRY
THE Narromine Shire Council have received advice from the NSW Electoral Commissioner to not fi ll a vacant council position. In June of this year councillor Lyn Jablonksi resigned from her position as a councillor. Since the resignation occurred within the 18-month period before the next local government general election, the council were required to pass a resolution. The resolution was split into two options: either seek approval from the NSW Electoral Commissioner to not fi ll
the position, or to proceed with a by-election held within three months of the resignation. Elections of all kinds are costly enterprises, and a by-election is no exception. The council would also need to hold the by-election by September 16 had the NSW Electoral Commissioner mandate the process. After the July council meeting, the council sought advice which has now been provided with the Narromine council leaving the position vacant until the next local government general election which is to be held in September 2024.
BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS
By ANDREW TARRY AT the end of each fi nancial year the council provides a summary of its capital works which will need to be carried onto the next fi nancial year. The summary is part of the large collection of reports on capital works which the council initiates and manages throughout the year. In some cases, the projects are substantial that the time frame to which they are to be completed is already assigned to a period of more than 12 months, in other cases delays in the completion of a project, for various reasons, can push back the timeframe beyond that of a single fi nancial year. The total amount of capital works which have been started but not completed comes to $2,785,786 to be carried over into the 2023/24 fi nancial year. This list does not comprise any other capital works or projects which have been approved and set for commencement in upcoming 12 months. The list for the projects which have not been started but will also be carried over is as follows.

sheep, returned to the flock SUPPOSE one of you has 100 sheep, and loses one of them? Doesn’t he leave the 99 in the open country, and go after the lost sheep until he fi nds it? “I tell you that in the same way, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent.” (Luke 15: 4-7). The meaning of this parable was clear to the average person in Jesus’ time. There were lots of sheep everywhere. The average person knew that sheep wandered-off, and got lost. So, when Jesus spoke about the lost sheep, it was something they could easily understand. The Pharisees had criticised Jesus for eating with sinners. But, if Jesus didn’t eat with sinners, he would have always been eating alone, wouldn’t he? Jesus ignored what the Pharisees had said and went on to talk to those who knew they were sinners. The Pharisees that day, were like sheep who didn’t know they were lost. The message didn’t even reach their ears, because they didn’t think they needed to repent. But we all need to repent, don’t we? If we will admit it, we can be all like lost sheep. Jesus is looking for us. He so wants to fi nd us, and keep us safe in his pasture. When we become his sheep, then Heaven rejoic-

es over us. “Let the little children come to me and do not stop them” said Jesus, children were so important to him. (Luke 18: 15–17) When Jesus lived on earth, he shocked everyone by paying special attention to children. The Disciples didn’t want him to waste his time with little kids or babies. But Jesus made time for them, showing everyone that no one is too little or too insignificant to be loved by God. Children are just as important to God, as anyone else. Jesus wasn’t just searching for people who could do something for him. He loved the children who could do absolutely nothing for him, except return his love. Think about how your eyes lightup when someone gives you a present. The Kingdom of God is a gift. Heaven is a gift. And Jesus offers it to everyone. He wants to see us light up because of the gift of His love. He really wants us all to be his children. Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank-you for searching for us and saving us, and thank-you for caring about all your children. In your awesome name, we pray. Amen.

Political News & Opinion 70 years of Meals on Wheels
COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes
50 years of AgQuip I WAS at the very first AgQuip when it began, so it was quite surreal to be in Gunnedah for the 50th anniversary of this amazing event, which has grown enormously over the years. This is a huge exhibition of farm equipment, heavy machinery, new products, and services, designed to highlight new technology and ideas. It was great to meet some constituents while manning the all-important barbeque with my state colleague, NSW member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson MP. While we’re on different sides of parliament, it was also good to welcome visiting colleagues from the Labor Party too to show them the innovation coming out of this part of the country.
Sistas in Trade I VISITED Sistas in Trade last week at Western College Dubbo who have been busy gaining accreditations to go into what are typically male-dominated occupations. I was able to introduce myself and my role as their federal member of parliament, and we discussed what they’ve recently been learning and their goals for the future. It’s great to see more women breaking down the barriers and learning a trade - I wish them all the best!
AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo
Vital funding ripped from the regions under Labor CHRIS Minns and the Labor Government have failed
IN parliament recently I was able to record a short video with my colleague Steve Georganas MP acknowledging 70 years of the work of Meals on Wheels in Australia. This organisation has coordinated the delivery of thousands of nutritious meals, wellness checks and support to so many people over this time and does fabulous work not just in the Parkes electorate, but nationally. I am a Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Meals on Wheels with Steve Georganas MP and have been a long-time supporter of the work this organisation does, as I know it makes a huge difference for people in so many of our communities. Volunteers are the backbone of this country and with Meals on Wheels it’s more than a meal, so well done to everyone.
National Merino Sheep Show and Ram Sale In Dubbo last week I took the opportunity to drop in to the prestigious National Merino Sheep Show and Ram Sale, which is a huge event showcasing some of the best in the industry. Many schools from across the Parkes electorate and much further afield had brought their best whethers in to compete, including students from Cobar and Warialda High Schools. It’s fantastic to see students having the chance to compete in big national events such as this, and to see this calibre of event being held in the Parkes electorate.
to rule-out a legislation change to the Snowy Hydro Legacy Fund, that would see the remaining allocation ripped away from regional NSW. This $4.2 billion kitty was created after the State sold its stake in the project to the Commonwealth, with every cent committed to improving infrastructure in the bush. The fund was announced by the former Liberal and Nationals Government to support better water security, digital connectivity, road and rail, freight links, and the es-

tablishment of Special Activation Precincts. I asked Chris Minns in Question Time about his plans for the fund, and he refused to guarantee he won’t amend the legislation to allow him to use it for his chosen projects. This should not come as a shock, because we have a Premier who wants to scrap every idea that isn’t his, and a Minister for Regional NSW who is watching it unfold and not fighting for the bush.
Sign to save Seniors’ Card 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 on cutting the Regional Seniors Travel Card in September’s Budget.
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 Left: As part of a quick tour of the region, NSW Nationals leader and member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders and Barwon electorate MLC Sarah Mitchell visited Narromine recently. They met briefly with members of the community and Narromine Shire Council before heading over to Gilgandra, and later Gulargambone to visit local preschools.

Co-working space to be launched by Trangie CWA A HUB for both professional and communal activities will be launched in Trangie, in an effort to cater to the evolving needs of the community. Trangie CWA members have announced the co-working space project, made possible through the support of NSW CWA and the NSW government’s department of women. Among the many applications received, the Trangie branch emerged as one of the four branches to succeed, and they are delighted with the opportunity to enhance their own
community and upgrade the historic premises. The co-working space will be equipped with modern features that are designed to cater to the diverse requirements of the community. The space will boast four desks, strategically positioned to encourage collaboration and networking among users. The availability of fast wi-fi ensures seamless connectivity, enabling users to harness the power of the digital realm effectively. A standout feature of the co-working space is the inclu-
sion of a meeting room facility, equipped with audiovisual tools, facilitating online meetings and enabling participants to connect with people wherever they are located. In addition to its professional amenities, the co-working space project will incorporate a lounge area and a fully-equipped kitchen, ready to cater for a range of events. The transformation of the co-working space involves a comprehensive makeover, ensuring that the environment is both functional and inviting.
Upgrades such as new air-conditioning and heating systems, repairs to walls, and new furnishings are included. This space, intended to be a haven for versatile activities, can accommodate community meetings, workshops, and even serve as an ‘office away from home’ for local professionals. The Trangie Branch of CWA has been an integral part of the community for almost a century, and they hope this continues into their new space. The co-working space will be available to be leased
out, and the branch ensures the reasonable prices mean the space is accessible to all members of the community. From remote working to training and education, from information sessions to networking events, the co-working space accommodates a wide spectrum of activities.
As the project gets underway, Trangie members eagerly await the doors of this transformative co-working space to swing open.

It was very interesting to learn so much about the beginnings of the gardens.

Remembering the sacrifice of Private Paul Large
Local Federal MP, Mark Coulton, speaks at the ceremony at Coolah to commemorate Vietnam Veterans’ Lest We Forget: The moving ceremony at Coolah to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of Australian involvement Day, seen here with the MC and in the Vietnam War. Coolah was the home-town of Private Paul Vietnam veteran, Les Baynham. PHOTOS: NARROMINE RSL. Large, who died in the Battle of Long Tan in 1966.
Vietnam Company Commander Lieutenant Colonel Ted Chitham MC, OAM (Retired) addresses the service at Coolah to commemorate Vietnam Veterans’ Day. From page 1 As an individual, I was privileged to hear about Pte Large’s service, his character, and the reputation he had among his family and community before his life was so tragically cut short. Sandra read the letter her family received from Paul’s commanding officer. Although the words weren’t her own, I’m sure the feelings expressed were just as much those of her and her family. As those representing the Narromine Sub Branch, we were proud to be there. During and after the confl ict — and this applies to all human beings in all walks of life — we all need one another. We certainly remember those who have fallen. Let us also remember those we have with us now. Lest we forget.
Narromine RSL Sub-Branch members and veterans travelled to Coolah to commemorate Vietnam Veteran’s Day on Friday, August, from left, Steve Cummins (guest bugler for the 11am ceremony), Bruce Coffey, and Charlie Burrows.

Vietnam Veteran’s Long Tan Day By TED DAVIES — VIETNAM VETERAN — 9 PLATOON, C COMPANY, 9RAR THE day began with a Dawn Service at the grave of Coolah’s WWI digger, Trooper William Keain, 131 First Australian Light Horse. He is the oldest soldier in the Coolah cemetery. However, it was the Main Service at 11am in which the principal event was scheduled to be held, not only to commemorate Vietnam Veteran’s Day but, in particular, Private Paul Large who was killed in the Battle of Long Tan on the 18th of August, 1966. A March to the Coolah Vietnam Memorial was led by 18 ladies carrying flags for each of the 18 diggers killed during that epic battle. A wonderfully turned-out Catafalque party from the Infantry Centre at Singleton, was then marched onto the memorial area and stood guard, ab-
solutely immobile during the two-hour ceremony. Around 100 veterans and ex-servicemen and women, plus their families, were in attendance at the service including nine members of the Narromine RSL Sub-Branch, who travelled to Coolah for the day. There were a good number of ex-military and civilian speakers who addressed the ceremony. However, three speakers in particular, were especially poignant. Lindsay Borger attended the full military service of Private Paul Large in September 1966, and spoke of how he was a member of the military honour guard for Paul. He explained how, each of the seven members of that honour guard, fi red three blank rounds which totalled a 21 gun salute for Paul. A 21-gun salute is normally reserved for Royalty and he told of his very personal feelings at the time and over the 57 years since. We were all very moved by Mr Borger’s words. Then, Paul Large’s two sisters told us that he was the
The moving ceremony at Coolah to commemorate Vietnam Veterans’ Day, included a letter read-out by Pte Paul Large’s sisters, Sandra Fleming, Robyn Wesley, on their brother’s death in the Battle of Long Tan in 1966 with the MC for the day, Vietnam Veteran, Les Baynham.
only boy in their family and they read-out a letter they received from Paul’s Commanding Officer following Paul’s death. In that beautifully-written letter, his CO described how Paul was popular amongst his mates and a great soldier who always wanted to try harder and be a bit better in everything he did, including his time in the army and especially as a forward scout. His sisters knew that letter off by heart, and it was clear that they still grieve for Paul to this very day. Finally, the event organiser, Lesley Baynham, a Coolah boy and a Vietnam Veteran, had asked his Vietnam Company Commander Lieutenant Colonel Ted Chitham MC, OAM (Retired) to address the service. Ted spoke about the action during the Battle of Long Tan in which Paul Large was killed; involving 108 soldiers of D Company 6RAR, who had gone-up against an estimated 2000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army soldiers, who were intent on wiping-out the
Australian Task Force Base at Nui Dat, that was until they ran into the Aussies. The battle began in the late afternoon/early evening, and was conducted in heavy monsoonal rain in the rubber plantation known as Long Tan. In the battle, 18 Australian diggers were killed and 24 wounded. The enemy fled under cover of darkness. In the morning, 263 enemy bodies were discovered and many more had been dragged away during the night. Ted Chitham went on to explain the awesome responsibilities of a forward scout like Paul, who is out in front of everyone else, and has to be the eyes and ears for the rest of his unit. If he misses a mine or a booby trap or an ambush, then some of his mates may be killed. It was a very emotional and memorable day for not only Paul Large’s family, but for all Vietnam Veterans and their families, and indeed for all men and women who have ever served and their families.

IT was a great escape during the fourth week of Term Three for St Augustine’s Parish School’s Stage Three class; who participated in a four-day excursion to The Great Aussie Bush Camp at Tea Gardens on the Central Coast. Whilst we were there, we conquered our fear of heights, learnt the difference between rational and irrational fear, dived in muddy waters, and worked as a team.
The activities that were most highly-rated by the class included: the giant swing, the high ropes, and the dual flying fox over the mangrove trees. Night-time activities were also an abundance of fun where we challenged our trivia minds, teamwork skills, and our sly ways of saving our classmates, (but sadly, they didn’t work!) We are very grateful for the P&F who organised our bus ride to and from Aussie Bush Camps.

Future gold for our Marvelous musicians showing their talents Augustine athletes?
COULD Australian future athletic gold medals, come from St Augustine Parish School? In cold and windy weather, a total of 24 St Augustine’s students competed in the Diocesan Athletics Carnival in Parkes last Friday. Jaggar, Paddy, Indi, Trevor, Sophie, Bede, Fred, Lachie, Flynn, Ben, Eddie, Matty, and Lyla, will also now go on to represent the
Wilcannia-Forbes Diocese at the CPS Polding Trials to be held at the Sydney OlympicPark Athletics Centre on Friday, October 13. The School is very proud of their sporting achievements but, more importantly, the positive sportsmanship that the representatives have displayed. “Augustine’s, Augustine’s, Oy, Oy, Oy!”
CONGRATULATIONS to St Augustine’s Parish School’s Emm, on saxophone; Pip, on flute; and Nelly, on trumpet, who all received an “A” in their recent music exams. The collaboration between St
Augustine’s and the Macquarie Conservatorium in Dubbo, has provided the opportunity for students to learn an instrument at the school, with these fi ne results, showing the fruits of that good work.

Second bite for Ladies, as First Grade off to the final at Cobar
The Swans game plan in the second half to put the Jets off their own game, worked for a little while as Jets’ winger, Freddy Joji, was sent-off for collecting punches to his face, the same play also saw another Swans player sent-off for punching the flying Fijian winger.
By MICK BURNS NARROMINE Jets started second week of their semi-final campaign on Saturday with the Ladies League Tag taking on the unbeaten Dunedoo Swans at Gulgong. Unfortunately for the Ladies, the Swans kept their season’s unbeaten status intact, with the Jets going down in a one-sided game which ended with them behind on both the scoreboard and the penalty count. The fi nal score was 4812, with tries to Lucy Dawson and Shayana Naden. It is not over yet, however, with the girls getting-together at training this week to make sure that they get back to their basics and play the football that got them to the semis in the fi rst place. They are lucky that they now have another shot at reaching the grand fi nal with only the Cobar Roosters standing in their way of the second spot in the big game. First Grade also travelled, heading to Dunedoo and confident of another good showing
After a big win at Dunedoo last week, the Jets First Grade side head to Cobar for the finals this weekend for a spot in the Grand Final. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. after the positive training sessions through the week continue to build momentum in their quest for the premiership. The Jets started the game slowly, and were on the back-foot for the fi rst five minutes, which allowed the Swans to get the fi rst try of the match. The talk behind the line as the conversion was being lined-up, though, was positive
and direct and, as a result, the Jets turned on a defensive masterclass for the next 10 minutes with some big hits and teamwork in controlling the ruck during a period where Dunedoo had most of the ball. The Jets then turned the tables, tiring the Swans out with high completion rates when in possession, and their dominance in defence, which
BOWLS COLUMN
Pennants squad win both rinks, to make the November play-offs By RICK BOHM TO progress further, our Pennants squad needed to win their fi nal fi xture at home against Macquarie Club last Sunday, and they certainly did that, with both rinks garnering a win and putting our club into the play-offs in the last weekend in November. In other news, the Final of the Consistency Singles between “Beaver” and “Bopper” was played on Saturday morning, and the window-tappers want their money back! Whilst I predicted a good, close game, the score of 150/98 wasn’t in my thinking of how the match would play out. However, in this case Beaver was just too good, and must be congratulated on the form he has displayed right throughout this event. Commiserations to Bopper, maybe next time around. Best of luck also to our two Fours teams competing in the Zone Championships on the weekend. Narromine will host the Reserve event with the local quartet
of Bruce Powyer, Dwuane Faro, Ray Anthony, Steve Buttsworth hoping for a win on home soil. Our open squad of Kevin Rider, Robert French, Ben Clark, and Henry Buttsworth also take to the greens at Macquarie Club, and will have to be on their best behavior to advance past this sectional play. Social Bowls this week also saw Des Lincoln, Bob Christoff, and Peter Cross the recipients of the major prize pool, with Robert French and Danny Carnivale awarded the runners-up cheque for their efforts. Sunday’s chook run witnessed Joey Mikulic and Danny Carnivale winn the chocolates. This Sunday, the “chook runners” are off to Trangie for a morning of camaraderie and just plain-old fun. A nomination sheet is on the Noticeboard for those who are interested. Well, that’s it for me for another week, the footy season is almost over; and it was another disheartening year for us Dragons. Let’s hope that 2024 is better, heaven forbid, it cannot get any worse, can it?
quickly got the scoreboard ticking-over. The scoreboard at halftime was 30-4 Narromine’s way, with Dunedoo trying some old-fashioned tactics after the break. In brief, the second half was only a few minutes old when the Dunedoo hooker was given an early shower by the referee for trying to twist a Jets player’s head.
After this violent outburst was over, the Jets got back to scoring points and fi nished the game off to the tune of 6010. Tries were scored by Washie Itoya (3) Darby Gordon, Freddy Joji, Malachi Clarke, Doug Potter, Luke Thompson, Jordan Richardson, Charlie Bonham, and Corey Redman, with Captain coach Doug Potter getting his kicking practice in by slotting eight goals.
The Jets travel to Cobar this week and will take-on the Roosters in both grades for a spot in the Grand Final next week in Gulgong. Keep an eye on the Jets Socials pages this week, as the club will be organising buses for supporters so as to fi ll the crowd with redand-white to cheer on the Jets.
Rhonda paddles her way to gold medals From page 1 “Five of those seven medals are coming home with western regional paddlers, so that is something to be really proud of.” Standing up on the podium was something from a dream for Ms Betts. She was incredibly proud of her team and the rest of Australia’s effort throughout the championships, and was beyond proud to have represented her country. “It was absolutely awesome,” she said. “It was such a proud moment to be
standing up there on the podium when they’re playing the national anthem. That’s just something you dream of. “I am so grateful to all the wonderful local support. But to be way over there and to hear all the support and the enthusiasm from people back home, that was really special and it really helped.” Still on a high from the world championships, Ms Betts is looking forward to settling back into the domestic season. “2025 is the next world championship. So God willing, I’ll have another crack at that!”

PRELIMINARY FINAL PREVIEW
Jets in Western shootout at Cobar in last-chance saloon prelim final! Major semi-final scores played at Gulgong on Saturday, August 26. Reserve Grade Coonabarabran 10 (Tyson Galvin, Trent Keeler tries, Billy Whillock goal) defeated Baradine 6 (Jake Jones try, Jake Hellegers goal). Half time, 6-all.
By BRYSON LUFF
IT’S the “Last-Chance Saloon” showdown for both Cobar Roosters and the Narromine Jets when they line-up against each other at Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval this Saturday. The winner of this FirstGrade preliminary rugby league fi nal of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition, will live to fight another day at the season’s big show fi nale. That day is the following Saturday in the Castlereagh League Grand Final when their assignment will be to battle the mighty Gulgong Bull Terriers, thus far undefeated this season. The Roosters and Jets two meetings this year would indicate that the home ground advantage does not necessarily equate to a win, with the Jets victorious 36-26 at Cobar in Round Four, and the Roosters returning serve with a 24-20 win at Narromine in Round 13. The Jets will, however, be hoping for a charitable result from the Judiciary after their dynamic winger and one of their major strike players, Freddie Joji, was sent-off in last Sunday’s high-spirited Minor Semi-Final win over Dunedoo. Certainly, the Roosters would be none-too disappointed to see him not be able to take the field next Saturday. The sides otherwise seem evenly-matched in almost every position, with the battle of the two half-backs and Captain-Coaches, Thomas Plater for the Roosters, and Doug Potter for the Jets, being a highlight of the game. No doubt the Rooster supporters and players will be relishing playing at home after being on the road for the past six weeks, and a huge Cobar presence is expected to cram into Tom Knight Oval which may well get the home-side over the line. The Jets, however, will also be well-supported having their League Tag Ladies also playing on the day, again against Cobar, in the curtain-raiser to the First-Grade clash. The Jets Ladies were well-beaten by the Dunedoo Swans last Saturday, but were without a couple of key players for that match, and they will be keen to get another crack at the Swans in the Grand Final by downing the Roosterettes. The Cobar team played a highly-contested Minor Semi-Final against Baradine last Saturday, and that could hold them in good stead for what should be an entertaining game. The day will kick-off at 11.30am with the Baradine Magpies up against the Gilgan-
dra Panthers in Reserve Grade.
League Tag Dunedoo 48 (Meg Christensen 4, Georgia Price 2, Laura Shanahan, Alexis Gallagher, Lauren Sullivan tries, Price 6 goals) defeated Narromine 12 (Lucy Dawson, Shayana Naden tries, Naden, Talitha Chatfield goals) Half time Dunedoo 20, Narromine 0. First Grade Gulgong 34 (Jack Hart 2, James Morrison 2, Ethan Pegus, Duncan O’Leary tries, Brad James 5 goals) defeated Cobar 28 (Ashley Davies, Thomas Plater, Tadgh McMullen, Gerald Mackay, Zane Taylor tries, Plater 4 goals) Half time Gulgong 24 Cobar 12. Minor semi-finals played at Dunedoo on Sunday, August 27.

Gulgong grab the first Grand Final spot, just! OPENING 15 minutes of the major Semi-Final clash between the Gulgong Terriers and the Cobar Roosters at Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval on Saturday, were pivotal to the outcome of what was a gripping encounter between the two sides. In that fi rst period, the Terriers piled-on 18 unanswered points and looked set to coast away to a very big win. That, however, was not to be the case, with the Roosters climbing-off the canvas to get back to having the scoreboard locked-up at 24-all midway through the second half and looking as if they might be the fi rst team to lower Gulgong’s colours this year. With hosting rights for the 2023 Grand Final on the line, the fi nal quarter of the match was an intense affair with the Terriers edging ahead 3024 with 15 minutes remaining, and then the Roosters responding seven minutes later with a try out-wide to have the scoreboard reading 30-28. Gulgong supporters breathed a little easier when an unconverted try put them
ahead 34-28 with four minutes on the clock, but the tension was palpable until the fi nal siren sounded, and the Terriers had survived one very strong challenge from the Roosters. In the other grades, Coonabarabran Unicorns edged-out their arch-rivals, the Baradine Magpies, 10-6 in Reserve Grade and the Dunedoo Swannettes retained their undefeated status when they registered a big 48-12 victory over the Narromine Jets. Whilst the fi rst-grade major semi-final game at Gulgong was an absorbing affair, it would be fair to say that the Minor Semi-Final played at Dunedoo on Sunday, was not quite on the same scale with the Narromine Jets coming-away with a very comprehensive win over the Swans. Full credit to a Swans outfit that had been beset by many injury woes in recent times for scoring the fi rst and last points in the match, but they were totally dominated by the Jets in the minutes in between those points being scored. If being down 30-4 at half time was not bad enough, it soon became quite “ugly duckish” for the Swans, when they had a player sent-off four min-
utes into the second half. The dismissed player had probably only just turned the hot water tap on in the dressing sheds, when he was joined by a team-mate a few minutes later who was similarly dismissed for the rest of the game, as was a Jets player who had all the hot water to himself in the away dressing sheds! In what was a somewhat long and painful finish to the season for the Swans, it was 11 players on 12 for the remaining 29 minutes as the game ground its way to a 6010 conclusion. The other grades on the day proved to be somewhat more of a contest, with the Gilgandra Panthers Reserve Grade winning 28-12 against Cobar, with two quick time tries after the half-time break, when they led by just six points, playing a big role in the win. The Cobar Roosters also won a highly-entertaining League Tag game against the Baradine Magpies by 14-12 to keep their Premiership hopes alive. The preliminary fi nals will be played at Cobar this Saturday, with the Reserve Grade fi xture kicking-off at 11.30am.
Reserve Grade Gilgandra 28 (Isaiah Gleadhill 2, Mitch Bamblett, Coen Naden, Grant Zell tries, Alex Sutherland 3 goals) defeated Cobar 12 (Shane Surridge, James Neyland tries, Tyson Brilley 2 goals). Half time Gilgandra 12 Cobar 6. League Tag Cobar 14 (Brianna Watson, Sophie Clarke, Peta Woods tries, Watson goal) defeated Baradine 12 (Hayley Lomax, Abby Thompson, Zalia Curtis tries). Half-time score, Cobar 6, Baradine 4. First Grade Narromine 60 (Washie Itoya 3, Darby Gordon, Freddie Joji, Malachi Clarke, Doug Potter, Luke Thompson, Jordan Richardson, Charlie Bonham, Corey Redman tries, Potter 8 goals) defeated Dunedoo 10 (Villiame Turava, Mark Stanford tries, Brad Beshman goal). Half-time score, Narromine 30, Dunedoo 4. Next weekend; Saturday, September 2, Preliminary Finals at Cobar Reserve Grade 11.30am; with other games to follow straight-on. Baradine versus Gilgandra League Tag Narromine versus Cobar First Grade Cobar versus Narromine Grand finals in all grades will be played at Gulgong on Saturday, September 9.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES GILGANDRA-TRAINED Ecker Road, winner of the Gulargambone Cup on Saturday, August 26, has been an underrated galloper for much of the career. Although the winner of nine races, many of the better performances have been when placed in high grade events including fourth of 16 to Aesop’s Fables in the $100,000 Dubbo Gold Cup, fourth to Spiranac in the $80,000 Panorama at Bathurst and second when beaten in the last stride by Safado in the recent Cannonball at Coonamble. Other notable placings over recent years include seconds
Ecker Road wins Inland Petroleum - Bill Lambell Memorial Gulargambone Cup in the cups at Gilgandra, Gulgong, Lightning Ridge and Collie Cup at Gilgandra. The now 10-year-oold Ecker Road, trained by Bryan Dixon Jnr, was given a charmed run behind the leaders by Ken Dunbar in the 1200 metres Inland Petroleum - Bill Lambell Memorial Gulargambone Cup. Gaining an inside run, Ecker Road ($8) won by a neck from Beauchamp (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2 favourite) and Daredevil (Will Stanley, $5). Punters were off to a bad start when rank outsider Warrior’s Spirit foiled a betting plunge on the Muswellbrook trained Apache Doc in the 1100 metres Gulargambone Bowling Club Maiden Handicap. Ridden by James Rogers for Narromine trainer Kylie Ken-
nedy, Warrior’s Spirit ($41) hit the front in the straight and lasted to win by a half head from Apache Doc (Angela Cooper, $6 to $2.80 favourite) which rushed home from near the tail of the field while Chart Topper (Georgina McDonnell, $5), was only a head away third. A protest by Ashleigh Stanley on the fi fth placed Red Card Rosie against the winner was dismissed. The following race, the 1450 metres Threefold Garden Management Maiden Plate, saw punters back in the black when the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo trained Irene Of Athens (Jake Pracey-Holmes, fi rmed from $2.50 to $2 favourite and after racing handy to the lead won by a half-length from Ar-
lington Girl (Zoe Hunt, $3) and Mista Sock (Billy Cray, $7). Beaten a nose by For Da Boys at the 2022 Gulargambone meeting, Miss Twenty Two returned this year to win the 1450 metres AMPS Agribusiness Benchmark 45 Handicap. From the Dar Lunn stable at Dubbo, Miss Twenty Two (Georgina McDonnell, $4.40) tracked the leader and won by a half-length from the heavily backed War Toy (Chelsea Ings, $8 to $3.50 favourite) and The Enzo (Zoe Hunt, $5). Leading all the way, the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes-trained Jin Chi Phantom ($13) under powerful riding by Michael Heagney held on to win the 1800 metres Halcroft and Bennett Benchmark 50 Handicap
from Outback Cod (Andrew Banks, $6) and Beg Me (Ken Dunbar, $4 equal fav.). Formerly from Gulargambone and a long-time successful jockey in Sydney, Andrew Banks was a popular winner of the Gilgandra and Dubbo Toyota Class One Handicap on the Michael Lunn, Dubbo trained Geesheehan. Ready to challenge when turning for home, Geesheehan ($5) responded to strong riding to beat the leader Overclassy (Ashleigh Stanley, $2.80 fav.) by a long neck with Ready Made Doll (Clayton Gallagher, $11) a close third. Gulargambone attracted a tremendous crowd and big crowds are also expected at Mendooran and Mudgee this coming weekend.
LADIES GOLF GOLF CLUB NOTES GERRIES GOLF
Good fields Small field, but for weekend rounds, with good 18-Hole 4BBB scores, for vet’s Stableford competition golf
Nine district clubs play in annual Open tourney
By NORM LEWIS By NORM LEWIS LAST Wednesday’s disappointing field of only seven players for the weekly Gerries event, did not unduly impact the fi ne scores settled on the day. Despite the small numbers, competition was keen with both Col Shepherdson and Ross King tying for the major prize. Both had 21 points, with Col taking the event on a count-back. In good news, Phil White returned to the course after a lengthy lay-off due to injury and proved he still has it, winning the nearest-the-pin prize and collecting two Srixon golf balls for his efforts. There was a tie for the NAGA Prize, between Bob Fletcher and Ron Green. Bob took the prize on a count-back with a score of 19 points. Once again, there was no Pool Competition, due to lack of numbers. On Thursday night last, the Geriatric golfers were treated to a very nice meal at the Club Chinese Restaurant. Many thanks to “El Supremo” Terry, for organising the evening which was enjoyed by all in attendance. The usual weekly comp was played on Wednesday, September 30, with the results to appear in next week’s edition of the Star. Good golfi ng— see you all at the 19th!
DESPITE opposition from other sporting events, particularly the football semi-fi nals, fields for the weekend golf were very pleasing. On Saturday, a total of 18 players tookpart in the 18-Hole 4BBB Stableford competition, which was also Round Eight of the Shootout event. Winners for the day, were Greg Kearines and Greg Barling with a score of 47 points. Runners-up were Mitch Smith and Henry Buttsworth, one behind on 46 points. The NTP (nearest-thepin) on the third went to Rob Williams, with Steve Gillett taking the prize on the 10th. Kale Bock took the Long Drive on the fourth; with the drawn “Birdie” hole the 10th, with the winner being Ron Green. On Sunday, 14 players took part in an Individual Stableford event with the Winner being Lenae Bock on 41 points — well done, Lenae! (though I didn’t see Kale’s name in the winners list!) The runner-up was Rob Williams on 40 points, with Rob warming-up for the upcoming major events with a five under par round. Nearest-the-Pins went to Peter Hutchinson on the 10th and Rob Williams on 11th with Matt Brown picking-up the Long Drive on the 11th. Coming events include; on Saturday, September 2, and 18-Hole Stroke event for the Macquarie Clothing Monthly Medal with a Veteran’s NineHole Stroke match to be played on the back nine in conjunction with. On Sunday, September 3, the Junior Clinic is at 9am and, I believe, there was a good roll-up of 12 youngsters in attendance last week. The following weekend at Trangie, is the Inter-Club Pennant Matches and the WDGA Championships. Please let Alex know if you are available for selection in the Club Pennant teams. That’s all for another week; good luck to all the Narromine footie teams in the upcoming fi nals matches this weekend. — See you at the 19th!

This included the Winner of the Division One Scratch event, Chantelle Greaves from Dunedoo, with a score of 82. The Scratch runner-up was Kathy Jeffress from Parkes on 84; with the Handicap Winner Val Soulsby from Warren on 67 nett.
