Something for everyone at 118th Narromine Show

Thieves target Rotary can cages – again

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Rotary Club is reeling at yet another theft of aluminium cans from their donation cages stationed in the Keirath shopping centre carpark and outside the Men’s Shed. The cages have been raided twice since the new Narromine Shire Council “return and earn” facility opened locally. A third cage stationed inside the grounds of the Rockwall Tourist Park has not been targeted.

Rotarian Nesto Falcioni, 82, found both cages in the central business district had been raided again over the weekend, depriving the club of valuable fundraising income that would otherwise be pumped back into the supporting other local community groups.

THE 118th Narromine Show returned in style last weekend, the warm weather enticing a good turnout and a jam-packed schedule offering something for everyone.

Early concerns about possible weather issues vanished as fi ne days and warm temperatures welcomed those attending the two-day event at the Narromine Showgrounds on September 1-2.

Judging took place on September 1, with the show formally opened by Mrs Karen Saunders, wife of Dugald Saunders MP, at an evening event for sponsors held by the Narromine Agricultural Show Society. The public program of competitive events and entertainment took place on September 2.

Society president Paul Purvis told the Narromine Star he was pleased to welcome locals, visitors, vendors and competitors to the show, and thanked the team of volunteers who made it possible.

He also thanked the sponsors whose generous support helped fund the staging of the show.

“Without [that support], there literally would not be a show,” Mr Purvis said as he presented certificates of appreciation to event sponsors and awards to volunteers including an Honorary Life Membership to Graeme Pow-

Mrs Saunders, who grew up in New Zealand, was excited to be opening her first ever agricultural show, and took the opportunity to thank the volunteers that made it all possible.

“During my time in regional NSW I’d never really experienced what country shows

were like until I came to the central west. For me, I’ve just been blown away.”

Her husband, the Member for the Dubbo electorate and a long-time supporter of the show, was unable to attend.

Saturday dawned bright and clear and the event program featured a wide range of activities including yard dog trials, high jump and “dachshund dash”, a speed shear, farmers’ team challenge, junior and tiny tots’ quest, and

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW will use its annual Awareness Week to increase awareness around neurodiversity, with a particular emphasis on the growing number of adult women who are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

“There are an estimated 1.5 million Australians with ADHD, many of whom are dealing with significant costs related to both diagnosis and treatment,” said CWA NSW President, Joy Beames.

Neurodiversity includes conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia and Tourette syndrome.

“The Association sees that increased awareness and understanding of these conditions is vital in shaping community perception, increasing funding into research, and encouraging strategies to make diagnosis faster and more accessible, whilst reducing the fi nancial burden,” said Mrs Beames.

The 2023 campaign runs from September 3-9 and will focus on the challenge women face around diagnosis, and accessing suitable and affordable treatment options, especially in remote, rural and regional NSW. The issue was raised at the CWA NSW’s annual State Conference in Bathurst in May 2023, when a motion was supported asking “governments to investigate ways to reduce the costs of diagnosing and treat-

The Association has also made a submission to a Federal Senate inquiry into the “barriers to consistent, timely and best practice assessment of ADHD and support services for people with ADHD” which is due to report this month.

This year, the CWA NSW is partnering with the national not-for-profit ADHD Foundation, which is working to improve the lives of people with ADHD. Foundation chair Dympna Brbich said the organisation’s national helpline in Australia indicated a spike in demand for its services from people aged 30-50 years, many of whom were women who had been overlooked in their younger years.

“ADHD is not currently treated in the public system, and private psychiatrists are overloaded and many have closed their books to new patients. Therefore, this situation is putting increased pressure on people struggling to obtain an assessment and or diagnosis in the fi rst place,” Ms Brbich said.

“At the same time the small cohort of psychiatrists who are trained in this field have their books closed, are retired or reaching that stage, leaving those who are diagnosed without a continuing practitioner who can prescribe their medication.”

CWA NSW is calling for: f More awareness of ADHD in girls and women to ensure early diagnosis, leading to better treatment and support f Increased recruitment, training and retention of, and support for, health care professionals to ensure client access to timely diagnosis and management of ADHD, particularly in rural, regional, and remote areas f New ways to reduce the costs of diagnosing and treating adult ADHD f Extending access to all long-acting medications on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for late diagnosis ADHD, and f More research into long-term outcomes of ADHD in girls and women – especially investigations into how and why the disorder contributes to difficulties across the lifespan.

Narromine’s CWA branch has placed a display in the local library for Awareness Week and supports the state body’s push for increased awareness and access to support and treatment, particularly for rural and regional women and children.

Narromine CWA branch president Jean Richardson said: “it is pleasing to know that the association’s recent policy decision and the current government inquiry into ADHD to which the CWA NSW has made a submission has been the main focus of Awareness Week this year.”

By SHARON BONTHUYS THANKS to the good folk at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo, the Narromine Star has a family pass to give away just in time for the school holidays. It’s a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of Matobo, the new Southern Black Rhino calf who has just made his public debut at the zoo.

Born in April 2023 from a world-fi rst reproductive treatment, Matobo has spent the past four months bonding behind-thescenes with mum Kufara, but can now be seen by Zoo guests.

“Matobo and Kufara are now out on our main Black Rhino paddock and while they were a bit shy to start with, Matobo is getting more confident each and every day,” said Black Rhino keeper Jake Williams.

“He’s a big boy now, about 250 kilograms, and starting to eat mum’s food, like browse, hay, and goodies like sweet potato, carrots and bananas.

“He’s out there running around with mum in the mornings, exploring his world and is meeting all the milestones we like to see.”

Matobo joins Southern White Rhino calf Jabulani, born in June, meaning there are now not one, but two rhino calves on exhibit at Dubbo. Jabulani can also be seen in the

Daytime Ph.................................................................

White Rhino paddock at NSW’s best Major Tourist Attraction this spring.

On Friday, September 22, the Zoo will celebrate World Rhino Day with three special enrichment keeper talks to take place across the day.

Throughout the spring school holidays, children will also be invited to complete the Rhino Ranger Trail and learn more about the five surviving species of rhino.

“For us keepers, every day is Rhino Day, but it’s extra special for us to see the species taking over the Zoo these school holidays,” Jake said.

“With fewer than 27,000 rhinos left in the wild, days like World Rhino Day are important to raise awareness of the plight all rhino species are facing, so we can all do our part to save them.”

The Taronga Western Plains Zoo is the only zoo in Australia to hold and breed three species of rhino – Black, White and Greater One-Horned. The zoo is open daily during the school holidays.

To win the free Family Pass to the Zoo, enter our competition on the special entry form on page 3 of the Narromine Star. Entries close at 12 midday on September 19 and should be mailed to our office at Suite 3, 37 Burraway Street, Narromine.

Something for everyone at 118th Narromine Show

Barb Sunderland, Viv Halbisch and Lyn Newton. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

From page 1 Machinery fans enjoyed the tractor pull, motorcycle stunt shows and smash up derby.

The night ended with fi reworks and a band for those who stayed on.

There were a few changes to the original published program, with equestrian events a last-minute cancellation due to circumstances beyond the control of the organisers, according to an announcement on social media ahead of the show.

The show pavilion did not disappoint, crammed with hundreds of exhibits demonstrating the art and craft, cooking and preserving, produce-supplying, photographic, sewing and fancy work, and flower arranging skills of

district residents. The creative work of hundreds of children from local schools added colour and joy to the exhibits.

The poultry pavilion also fielded some very handsome birds.

The Narromine Star caught up with local resident Jimmy Martin, 78, who was admiring the Country Women’s Association (CWA) stand in the pavilion on September 2. It brought back many memories of his late mother, Agnes Martin, being involved in the nationwide movement.

“My mum was a member of the Tullamore CWA. I remember so many things she did with the CWA over the years as I was growing up,” he said.

“It’s great to see the Narromine CWA celebrate its centenary this year, just a year after the State organisation’s

centenary. There are a lot of very talented CWA ladies out there,” Mr Martin said.

Young Macey McGrath, 7, was very excited to win fi rst prize for a fruit bowl picture entered into the show. The year two student said she felt “good” about her win. Winning was also in her extended family with relative Karen Shearwood walking away with champion in her fancywork section for a gorgeous pink smock for 13-month-old granddaughter, Brydee.

“It’s a bit nice. I’ve been doing this for a long time now,” said Mrs Shearwood, who has volunteered at the show for four decades.

Barb Sunderland was another winner, taking away seven prizes for the 11 entries she submitted. Mrs Sunder-

land has entered the show for the past several years and donates many of the items to local groups or the Dubbo hospital for its maternity unit, or gives them to family.

“A year ago I took a box of items down to the ladies at Mudyigalang Many Hands Craft Group for them to sell.

One of my granddaughters also has her own box of items at my place for when she has her own children,” Mrs Sunderland said.

Lyn Newton’s exquisite quilting saw her take out a champion award in that section with a double-sided quilt, winning five fi rsts from the six items she entered in the show.

The key to her champion win was in the stitching, she said.

“It’s very well pinned, a quilt-as-you-go quilt – quilt-

ers know what that means,” Mrs Newton said. “I enjoy quilting and it is my pastime.

I love a challenge.”

Chief Steward for handicrafts, Viv Halbisch, was pleased with the entries received for the 81 handicraft sections in the 2023 show.

“Considering that not many people are doing handicrafts anymore, we had a lot of entries this year. And we encourage people to enter something even if it doesn’t fit a specific category – we’ll make a category if we have to,” she said.

“After two years of no show with COVID, this year it’s back to normal,” said Show Society president, Paul Purvis.

The 118th Narromine Show certainly didn’t disappoint.

End of an era as Captain Ewen Jones hangs up his helmet

Daughter Skye Jones joined her father at 401 Station Narromine in 2022, creating history in the process as the first father-daughter duo at the station.

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE fi rst day of spring heralded the fi nal day of service for Captain Ewen Jones from Fire + Rescue NSW (FRNSW) 401 Station Narromine, who has hung up his helmet after almost 32 years.

“A fi refighter needs to be young and fit. I am neither of these anymore. I am mentally and physically unable to continue my fi refighting career, so I have made the difficult decision to retire,” he said.

The fi refighting veteran leaves a very different fi re service from the one he entered on his third attempt in December 1991.

“I joined what was called New South Wales Fire Brigades (NSWFB) at 401 Station Narromine on 15 December 1991. Robert Hawkins was Captain and Bob Treseder the Deputy Captain, and we had a crew of 12.

“We had a V8 petrol International Acco truck, a pump-

Captain Jones enjoyed dressing up as Santa for the traditional lolly run every Christmas in Narromine. er, that I thought was just the bees knees. It was quick off the mark, sounded great, but did not like even the hint of a hill.

Pushbikes used to overtake us when we were going uphill!” he laughed.

Now the service uses much more modern fi re appliances fitted with breathing apparatus and other equipment to fight fi res and respond to emergencies. The uniforms of today are also very different.

“My fi rst fi refighting gear was what was called a “lion tamer’s suit”. It consisted of a white plastic helmet, dark navy blue over-trousers and coat, complete with knee-high boots,” he said.

Back in those early days of his service, fire call-outs were also handled very differently from today, Captain Jones said.

“We responded to calls via a pager and a set of bells in our houses. I remember my fi rst call, someone pressing the button on the front of the sta-

tion, a thing people used to do for a thrill,” he said.

Captain Jones has attended many memorable fi res over the years including those at the Mungeribar Manor, Imperial Hotel, Motorbike Shop, and a two-day HAZMAT incident at Narromine High School. His unit has also been called upon to assist the Ambulance and Police on many occasions over the years, including motor vehicle accidents, oil and diesel spills, gas leaks and more.

“During my almost 32 years, I have really enjoyed providing fi re safety information in the Narromine community,” he said. This has included home fi re safety visits to the elderly and infirm, and school visits demonstrating the kitchen fi re simulator to educate children on what to do and what not to do in the event of an oil fi re.

“We also demonstrated fi re blankets, fi re extinguishers and smoke alarms, and gave each child a ‘keep looking

when cooking’ spoon and fi re safety brochure.”

He also attended fire station Open Days, Seniors Week and New Residents Information Evenings in Narromine as part of wider community engagement for Fire + Rescue NSW. While health has played a part in his decision to hang up his helmet, Captain Jones said the impact of being a fi rst responder at fatal incidents had also taken its toll over time on both himself and his loved ones. His wife Tammy would always say “love you, be careful” every time he left to respond to an emergency.

“First responders are exposed to many fatalities during their careers that unfortunately remain in their memory banks forever. We attended a run of calls assisting the Ambulance last year, when several people suffered a cardiac arrest. Despite the very best attempts by NSW Ambulance paramedics, police and fi re-

fighters to save these people, none of them survived.

“These events [also] made me realise that I had seen enough sadness and grief, and that it was time I ended my fi refighting career. This was a very hard decision,” he said.

Captain Jones has been a pillar of community service in Narromine, where he grew up, giving 24 years to the now-defunct community service Apex Club as well as his three decades plus in the fi re service.

Following in the footsteps of his grandfather Evan Jones and second cousin Angus Jones, both of whom served on former iterations of what is today the Narromine Shire Council, Captain Jones has also been elected to the council since December 2021. He is looking forward to contributing further to the community in that role.

Congratulations on a stellar career, Captain Jones, and thank you for your tireless service to the community.

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

Last week for Volunteer Grant applications WE are fast approaching the deadline for this year’s round of Volunteer Grants, with the 2023 round closing at the end of this week. These grants are designed to help volunteer organisations pay for equipment, promotional activities, fuel costs or other expenses so that they can continue to provide services to their communities.

Grants of between $1000 and $5000 are available, and eligible organisations within the Parkes electorate can download an expression of interest form via the media release on my website.

Pharmacies facing the fallout FROM Friday, September 1, Labor’s new 60-day dispensing laws took effect, meaning that for some medicines customers will be able to receive twice as much at one time than they could previously access.

Changes to dispensing laws will drastically impact the viability of pharmacies such as White’s Pharmacy, which is the only pharmacy in the town of Lightning Ridge in northern NSW. Last week I visited Rhonda, who has been running this pharmacy with her husband Garry for more than 40 years. She is very concerned

about how this change will impact them and their community.

As a result of the change to 60-day dispensing, they will have to order more stock all the way from Sydney, and elderly customers will be visiting less frequently, making it more difficult to assess their health needs. She also has concerns that people may stockpile medications, which have to be destroyed if they are not used.

In apparent recognition of the unintended consequences of 60-day dispensing the Community Pharmacy Agreement has been brought forward, and my hope is that this facilitates negotiations between pharmacists and the Labor government which lead to better outcomes for all. I will be continuing to monitor this space.

Students meet the Speaker of the House I WAS thrilled last week to have the opportunity to introduce the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon Milton Dick MP, to some of the schools in the Parkes electorate as part of the Parliament in Schools program.

The Parliament in Schools program was launched last year and is a bi-partisan initiative which aims to bring an experience of Parliament and greater knowledge of Parliamentary procedures to students across the country.

Last week students at Bullarah, Rowena, Pallamallawa, Gravesend, and Croppa Creek were able to meet the speaker and learn more about our Parliament. It is my hope that many more students from across the Parkes electorate will have a chance to learn more about our democracy through this program in years to come. your wonderful community. Keep up the good work.

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.

Police apprehend motorist after air and road pursuit

Rotarian Nesto Falcioni discovered the theft from Rotary’s can cages.

PHOTO: NARROMINE ROTARY CLUB.

Thieves target Rotary can cages – again From page 1 “How disrespectful. It’s just not fair,” said Jan Colmer, Narromine Rotary Treasurer.

Rotary collects the cans deposited in three locations around town, and spends time sorting out the items before taking them away to be recycled. The funds raised from the collections have been used to support local student Amanda Wicks’ travel to Brazil with the Rotary Youth Exchange program, and to provide valuable items for the hospital and other causes.

“We have gotten up to $1,000 in cans previously,” Mrs Colmer said.

“We have used these funds to help the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary buy a blanket warmer for the hospital and obtain a slitlamp for treating eye injuries.

We have also made donations to local groups supporting multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer. Lots of locals may miss out on further donations from Rotary because of this thieving,” she said.

Mrs Colmer made the announcement about the theft on social media on September 5 and approached the Narromine Star to report the issue.

“It is so disappointing that someone is selfish enough to steal from those in Narromine who need assistance, for their own self-satisfaction,” she wrote, urging the community to keep an eye out on the can cage locations in the carpark and report suspicious activity or thefts to the police.

The cage stationed in the Keirath shopping centre car park was about one quarter full when it was raided, said Rotarian Nesto Falcioni.

The frequency of the raids now

that the new return-and-earn facility is open locally is of concern to Rotary, whose members don’t know what the answer is to this problem. If the thefts continue, the cages may have to be removed, Mrs Colmer said.

The Narromine Star visited the shopping centre carpark on September 5 and found that while all the cans were missing from the cage, the enterprising thief or thieves had left behind things that people had carelessly dumped in the can cage including wine bottles, milk bottles and other items that Rotary cannot benefit from, things Rotary must remove and dispose of appropriately.

We also observed that the shopping centre carpark has security cameras in various locations, but the Rotary can cage is positioned in such a way that it is predominantly obscured from their view.

The other cage located outside the Men’s Shed is also not able to be easily surveilled.

“We need to let the community know what’s going on,” said a very disappointed Mr Falcioni.

“This is the third time this has happened recently. About 12 to 18 months ago someone also stole one of the cages and dumped it out near the airport. It was cut open.”

Mrs Colmer said, “People put cans in our cages because we give back to the community.

Thieving from the community is just taking advantage of other people’s generosity. It’s not on.”

Do you know more about this story? Can you identify anyone who may be involved in these thefts?

Please contact the police. You may also like to call us at the Narromine Star for a confidential chat.

A MAN faced court on September 4 in Dubbo charged with multiple offences after a police pursuit that ended near Narromine.

About 3.25pm on Sunday, September 3, officers from Orana Mid-Western Police District received information regarding the location of a 25-year-old man – wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for domestic violence related offences – and attended a service station on the Mitchell Highway, Narromine.

On arrival, the man drove off and when police attempted to stop the vehicle, it failed to stop, and a pursuit was initiated.

During the pursuit, police deployed road spikes on two separate occasions while the vehicle was monitored by PolAir. As the vehicle was travelling west along Dandaloo Road, Narromine, it has driven off the road through three fences into paddocks where a rifle was allegedly seen being thrown from the vehicle.

The vehicle came to a stop

in the paddock where the man has refused to get out.

He was removed from the vehicle and arrested.

During a search of the vehicle, officers allegedly seized 17.6g of methamphetamine, a machete and clothing items believed to have been stolen.

The rifle – reportedly stolen during a break and enter at Gilgandra in 2020 – was recovered.

Inquiries also established that the man was the holder of a learner’s licence, and the vehicles registration did not match the vehicle it was fitted to along with it being unregistered The 25-year-old man was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with 19 offences including: f Two counts of police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously f goods in personal custody suspected being stolen f learner exceed speed more than 45km/h – estimated f learner not accompanied by driver/police officer/ tester

f learner not display “L” plates as prescribed f use unregistered motor vehicle on road f use uninsured motor vehicle f possess prohibited drug f supply prohibited drug – indictable quantity f destroy or damage property f dishonestly obtain property by deception f use vehicle with unauthorised number plate affixed f possess unregistered fi rearm in public place f possess unauthorised fi rearm f face blackened/disguised with intent to commit indictable offence f carry cutting weapon upon apprehension f commit s114, having previous conviction, and f hinder or resist police officer in the execution of duty.

The outstanding warrant was also executed and the man was refused bail to appear before Dubbo Local Court on Monday, September 4, 2023.

Narromine Shire Council undergoing flood risk review

By ANDREW TARRY NARROMINE Shire Council is progressing to the next stage of the floodplain risk study and management plan review, having engaged a consultant to perform the review of potential consequences of major flood within the township and shire.

The original study and management plan were prepared for the township back in 2009. The council is now looking to update that plan with new studies and information of the risk of flood.

Although the state and shire are entering a dry period, it was not so long ago when floods across the central and mid-west of NSW were severe.

The review will have several stages as it aims to provide a comprehensive refresh of critical information regarding infrastructure, such as culverts, the levee, and roads as well as the potential impact upon businesses, dwellings, and residents.

The review will also aim to “assist council in refi n-

ing strategic plans for mitigating and managing the effects of existing flood risk, future flood risk, and continuing flood risk,” where the risk remains even after measures have been put in place.

As reviews are expensive endeavours the process has been jointly funded by the Narromine council and the state department of planning, industry, and environment.

One of the important components of the plan is to es-

tablish community resilience, better community planning, emergency management, and awareness in case of a major flood and disaster.

Along with the consultation of the plan, the council has set up a floodplain risk management committee which is comprised of relevant council members, state government agencies, and community representatives that will oversee the review and submit the fi ndings to council.

Lost in transmission: farmers and greens criticise government inquiry

By ANDREW TARRY IN response to the release of the fi nal report on the “feasibility of undergrounding the transmission infrastructure for renewable energy projects” by the NSW standing committee for state development, NSW Farmers and the Greens have heavily criticised the government and the inquiry for ignoring rural voices and needs. In separate responses representatives from both groups have called out the government saying that the results of the reports are extremely disappointing and show a “Sydney-centric” view.

The inquiry was formed by the NSW government to investigate whether it is feasible for transmission lines for the new renewable energy generators popping up around the state, especially within the REZ’s (renewable energy zones) to be buried underground. This is instead of creating large towers and pylons which cross the countryside carrying the energy to switching stations, plants, substations, and onto homes and businesses.

A special focus of the report is the proposed 500kv transmission lines required for the HumeLink, “a transmission line connecting Wagga Wagga, Bannaby and Maragle, involving 360 km of proposed new transmission lines and new or upgraded infrastructure at four substations”.

The report has concluded that creating the new transmission lines to be above ground is the right choice. Despite being a 118-page document, the report has only one fi nding: “that, in considering all the evidence, the current plan for constructing HumeLink as a 500 kV overhead transmission line is the correct approach especially given the applicable regulatory environment and the lack of any action to date in progressing the undergrounding option.” This is despite the fact that the committee received 300 submissions regarding the plans for the HumeLink from a wide range of concerned citizens and experts, and MPs from other parties.

President of the NSW Farmers, Xavier Martin, has responded to the report by accusing the government of ignoring the concerns of regional communities. “These overhead powerlines will involve towers taller than the pylons on the Sydney Harbour Bridge running through paddocks and across the countryside, and it will reduce our ability to grow food and fibre at a time when productivity is paramount.

“This ‘energy transition’ has been an incredibly mismanaged process to date and now we will see people in the country foot the bill for Sydney-centric government stuffups,” said Mr Martin.

The NSW Farmers president

also expressed that the state has an “atrocious” record of working with coal-powered communities to transition away from the fossil fuel; and that the lack of consideration for those communities and regional areas at large, gives more cause to concern that the state government consistently disregards the needs and perspectives of regional and rural communities.

The criticism of the report has been shared by Greens MP and spokesperson, Cate Faehrmann, who labelled the inquiry a “pointless tick and fl ick” exercise.” Ms Faehrmann continued by arguing that conclusion if the government from the inquiry showed the committee, and by extension the government due to the high quantity of government MPs on the committee, had already decided on path of action prior to the inquiry.

The Greens MP continued her attack on the government’s decision by saying that “it does not reflect the evidence that was presented to the committee which was overwhelmingly against overhead transmission lines.

You really have to ask whether government members sat on another inquiry,” said Ms Faehrmann.

In a lengthy statement Ms Faehrmann also stated that is “was crystal clear throughout the inquiry was that Transgrid has no social licence to build HumeLink with massive

500 kV overhead transmission lines, yet this was ignored by government members. Landholders sent a very strong message to the committee that they will fi ght hard to stop overhead transmission lines being built, but if they were to go underground, they’d allow access to their property tomorrow. The government cannot justify overhead transmission lines for HumeLink because of urgency and then ignore the fact that only underground transmission lines have the social licence to start tomorrow.”

In their own statement regarding the single fi nding of the inquiry report and conclusion of the committee the government announced ultimately after considering all of the evidence and submissions out before it the committee found that “the current plan for constructing the HumeLink as an overhead line is the correct approach”.

Within the same statement the committee chair, Ms Emily Suvaal, acknowledged that the fi nding and conclusion is “not what many in the community are calling for,” and the decision was not an easy one to make.

The development of high-capacity transmission lines is a key issue across the whole state since without the transmission capacity, the renewable energy created from the solar and wind farms, or in some cases from hydro sourc-

es, will not reach the grid and therefore not accessible to the public.

Due to the scale, scope and cost required in transmission line development, it is perhaps worrying for communities and landholders that this action by the government may set a precedent for other areas where renewable energy generation is becoming an increasingly familiar part of life.

Another criticism for this decision came again from the NSW Farmers president who highlighted that the majority of renewable energy generators are in regional areas where there is the space and energy resource, while the majority of the demand for the energy is on the coast, especially in Sydney.

Mr Martin said that “people in rural and regional NSW resent the fact that they will bear the brunt of these bad decisions to move power generation from the coast to the bush, and that they will be paying the price to keep the lights on in Sydney”.

Since the publication of the report the government have not responded to these criticisms. The conversation on this issue will no doubt come to areas of central west and mid-western involved in renewable energy as the transmission capacity for these new generators becomes a priority for those communities and state government.

Aerodrome Transgrid completes powerline park open to inspections ahead of bushfire season business

By ANDREW TARRY THOSE fearing a long, hot summer of bushfi res take heart, our major poles-andwire electricity provider is doing its best to ensure that they are not the source of any outbreaks this year.

This follows Transgrid announcing that it has carried out hundreds of hours of helicopter inspections, aerial imagery, 3D laser scanning, thermographic surveying, vegetation management, and network maintenance across thousands of kilometres of transmission lines to help protect local communities from bushfi res.

“Transgrid has completed its comprehensive annual bushfi re prevention program as we prepare for what is likely to be a potentially severe bushfi re season,” Executive General Manager of Network, Marie Jordan, said.

“We take the risk of bushfi res very seriously, and the safety of our people and local communities is our fi rst priority; that’s why we have ensured a high level of preparedness across more than 13,000km of transmission lines,” she added.

Transgrid’s 2023 bushfi re

safety management program included: • A 3D laser aerial survey of easements across the entire network using LiDAR technology to identify vegetation growing too close to transmission lines • An extensive vegetation management program with on-the-ground teams assessing and mitigating potential vegetation encroachments

• Helicopter inspections and aerial imagery of the network to physically assess the condition of towers and lines • On-the-ground teams carrying out network inspections and maintenance to avoid potential bushfi re hazards, and • Thermographic surveying of substations to identify and address any required asset upgrades.

“These aerial surveys and

inspections involved 500 flying hours and have enabled our teams on the ground to proactively respond to potential bushfi re hazards including vegetation management and tower and line maintenance,” Ms Jordan said.

“About half of our maintenance expenditure each year relates to mitigating bushfi re risk, including ongoing and comprehensive vegetation management to maintain our easement corridors.”

Transgrid, she said, also works closely with the NSW Rural Fire Service and local Bush Fire Management Committees made up of landholders, land managers, fi re authorities and community organisations.

“During bushfi re season, we work very closely with the fi re authorities to provide safe and secure access to our easements for fi refighters including de-energising transmission lines if required.

“Our focus is on prevention fi rst and that’s why our network planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance takes bushfi re risk into account every step of the way.”

A LOCAL business is looking to develop a new pilot training school at the Narromine aerodrome.

The proponent of the development is seeking to lease the hangar on lot 19 of the park at an initial 12-month period for $20,000, with a view to an additional year and potential purchase of the hangar for $530,000 during or after the second year.

There are also plans to purchase vacant land on lot 20 of the aerodrome park.

Narromine Shire Council has steadily signalled its intent to develop the Aerodrome Business Park for a while now with potential developers able to choose from a variety of lots.

The available space is also a sign of the potential growth Narromine is capable of if it can attract willing developers.

At the council meeting in August, it was agreed that the proposed development is consistent with the zoning category and conditions of the business park and the proposed plan was approved.

Advocate for ageing well brings seminars to shire

By SHARON BONTHUYS

A LOCAL health advocate concerned about a gap in information and services for older people in Narromine and surrounding communities helped bring a series of “ageing well” education seminars to the shire.

Julie Davis joined the Central West Sub-Regional Health Planning Committee earlier this year after expressing interest in the community engagement activity in 2022. When asked for suggestions in that community engagement group, which is part of the Western NSW Local Health District, Mrs Davis put forward aged care for consideration.

“Aged care in Narromine and other locations is a big issue, and no one seems to be addressing it,” Mrs Davis told the Narromine Star.

The Health District supported the concept and Mrs Davis worked with the Narromine Health Service to plan a series of four education seminars on different aspects of ageing well.

Eleven people attended the fi rst seminar on August 24, in which pharmacist Meg Horan helped the group better understand the medication they may be taking. Fifteen people attended the second seminar on August 31, where rehabilitation physician Dr Shane Cameron and rehabilitation coordinator Sandra Lowcock

talked about what “ageing well” looked like and the importance of staying well as people age.

Mrs Davis said the attendees were so engaged and the guest speakers so informative, the second seminar ran well over the allotted time.

“It was only supposed to go for an hour but the attendees had so many questions,” she said.

In advocating to bring the education seminars to Narromine, Mrs Davis said she wanted a program that would help older people learn things they didn’t know while ensuring they were comfortable and in a safe space while getting to know each other in the group.

“People have connected through these seminars.

There are so many things people need to know about ageing well. What is involved in the process of going into care?

How can people be better supported at home? What facilities are available?” she said.

The next seminar is being held at the USMC this evening (Thursday, September 7) specially designed to allow families to attend. Aged Care Service Officer Karen Lunn will present on the topic “ageing well takes a village”, and family members are invited to attend with their older relatives to learn more about the support process.

“I really do hope families will come to this session. It’s really important,” Mrs Davis

Dr Shane Cameron with Julie Davis and Sandra Lowcock at the popular seminar on August 31.

said.

The fi nal education seminar will be held next week at the Narromine Community Health building, where physiotherapist Lee Bible will talk about the correct use of equipment including mobility aids.

Mrs Davis said valuable learnings for the Health District have also emerged from the education seminars.

“If services are located in Dubbo, how do older residents of Narromine and other communities know about it? This question was asked [in one of the sessions] and the response was ‘on the website’. That’s the wrong answer,” Mrs Davis said, noting that many older people are still not comfortable with or able to appropriately navigate the internet. Other avenues of promoting services need to be available for those not using computers.

Ageing well and health in general are very important subjects for Mrs Davis, who is also treasurer of the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary.

She has already organised another education series for early 2024 called “Stepping Up”, where accredited exercise scientist and personal trainer Kelli Piddington from Narromine will help seniors learn how to exercise safely. She has also applied for funding to run yet another course aimed at informing older people about what services are available to assist them to live and age well.

When asked why she does this, Mrs Davis said: “I’m driven. I have a lot of experience across different sectors that can be of use to the community.”

She also wants to combat ageism and perceptions that older people could not adapt to new things. A throwaway – but well intentioned – comment by a senior officer of a Narromine organisation congratulating her on “mastering technolo-

gy” particularly rankled Mrs Davis, who hopes attitudes to older people will change.

Further information about the education seminars can be found on posters adorning shopfronts around Narromine, or by contacting the Narromine Health Service. A mailout has also gone out this week to rural properties to ensure information reaches those out of town.

Keeping an eye on irrigation water use:National regulator priority MAKING sure producers pay their way and protecting our riverine environments is the aim of the Natural Resources Access Regulator (NRAR).

To achieve this, the NRAR has just announced its focus for 2023/24 will be on metering, irrigated agriculture, and overdrawn accounts.

The regulator’s annual regulatory priorities aim to drive widespread voluntary compliance and reduce harm to the environment, NRAR’s Chief Regulatory Officer, Grant Barnes, said.

“With data from the field, satellite imagery, public reports and expert advice, we're able to identify problem areas or behaviours to focus our efforts on,” Mr Barnes said.

“Our regulatory priorities also make a clear statement to the regulated water community about NRAR’s intended focus for the coming year and put them on notice to make sure their water practices are compliant,” Mr Barnes added.

When deciding on regulatory priorities, NRAR also considers changing weather conditions and with the Bureau of Meteorology's ongoing El Niño alert, the regulator is preparing for below average rainfall and above-average

temperatures across NSW. In the past, drying conditions have put a spotlight on the State’s waterways and the use of water in regional NSW. "We want to reassure communities that NRAR remains focused on addressing the most pressing water compliance issues. The chance of detecting illegal water take has never been greater,” Mr Barnes said.

He added that, spatial analysis suggests that there are large numbers of potentially non-compliant water storages in the Murray and Murrumbidgee regions.

NRAR therefore intends to confi rm the accuracy of this intelligence before prioritising water storages for further assessment.

The focus will be to encourage water-users to become compliant by obtaining approvals, purchasing water to account for any excess held in storages and/or modifying oversize storages.

The NRAR will also be concentrating its work on accounts that have taken more water than they are allocated.

“Our response to non-compliance, will increase in severity for those who continue to break the rules,” Mr Barnes said.

Big dry not hitting farm production, forecasts say AUSTRALIAN agriculture, fisheries, and forestry are set to have the third-highest yearly gross value on record in 2023/24 with production value predicted to reach $86 billion, our top primary producer forecaster, believes, Agricultural Commodities and Crop Reports from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) shows the sector is remaining strong, despite challenging conditions, Executive Director, Dr Jared Greenville said.

“For agriculture, after a re-

cord $92 billion result in the 2022-23 fi nancial year, the forecast 14 per cent decrease will see value fall to $80 billion in 2023-24 because of drier domestic conditions and an expected fall in global commodity prices,” Dr Greenville said.

“As we come out of a higher rainfall La Niña period and move into a drier El Niño climate, it is expected that below-average rainfall and warmer temperatures will reduce Australian crop yields and production from the previous year’s record highs,” he added.

He said that total crop production value is set to fall 20 per cent in 2023-24 to $46 billion.

“National winter crop production is expected to be around 45.2 million tonnes, slightly below the 10-year average.

“Drier conditions are so far having the greatest impact on northern cropping areas, with prospects for the southern cropping regions holding up after better-than-expected winter rainfall,” Dr Greenville said.

It is also expected that sum-

mer crop plantings will fall from last year but remain above average, due to lower rainfall forecast for spring and summer being buffered by high levels of water storages.

“Drier conditions will also mean livestock producers will need to send more animals to slaughter. As supply increases, saleyard prices for cattle and sheep are expected to fall; sheep prices are forecast to fall below their long-term average.

“At the same time, global meat prices are falling. These factors will mean despite high-

BRIAN'S BIBLE BITS

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK

The Heart of Jesus; total love for us all!

JESUS’ longest recorded conversation, was with a Samaritan woman! The Jewish People hated the Samaritans.

Jesus didn't care. He broke social “rules” all the time to share His love. This is the heart of Jesus: to reach everyone – no matter their race, religion, looks, or social standing – with His Love.

Guess what he wants us to do? Exactly the same thing!

“Always remember that God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John: 3:16).

Whom do you love the most?

Think about how much you love that person.

No matter how big your

love, it doesn't even compare to how much God loves you.

God's heart is huge. It's so big that we can't even imagine it.

God gave-up Jesus, his only Son, for you and for me. God watched his Son suffer – for our sake!

Isn't that a huge love?

God loved the world so much, that he gave his one and only Son. But you know what? If you were the only sinner in this world, if you were the only one who needed forgiveness, God still would have sent Jesus. He loves you that much. “For God so loved me, that he gave his only Son for me.”

When we trust and believe this message, we become connected to God's love for all

eternity.

How cool is that!

When you shine a torch into a mirror, what happens? The mirror reflects the light.

Jesus' Disciples were ordinary men who discovered a greater purpose in life. They were good friends and loyal followers of Jesus. They ministered to countless people, and through some of their writings in the Bible, they still have a profound effect on the world today.

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, as he says to us, “Follow Me”.

(John: 1:43).

As great as the disciples ended-up being, they were just a reflection of Jesus'

er production volumes, the value of livestock production is expected to fall by $1.6 billion to $34 billion in 2023–24,” Dr Greenville said.

Despite the challenges, he said, it was important to remember that falls are coming off the back of record years which have helped rebuild financial reserves and our agricultural sector remains resilient and competitive.

light. When Jesus called his Disciples, he told them to follow Him. So what does it mean to follow Jesus? It means to reflect his light to the world by loving and serving his people like He did.

Jesus so wants us to follow in his footsteps. He wants us to reflect his light.

When people see the light, they will be attracted to Jesus.

Are you shining for Jesus today?

Prayer: “Dear Lord, thankyou for loving us so much, that you gave us Jesus your Son and please, Lord, teach us to follow you. Use us in extraordinary ways, Jesus. We want others to know that you live in us. Amen.”

Sport GERRIES GOLF NOTES

Storm forces a Thursday round

By NORM LEWIS A VERY heavy rain and hailstorm event forced the weekly Gerries Golf Competition to be transferred from Wednesday to Thursday last week.

In the end, some eight golfers faced the starter on the new date and, despite the change, the competition was keen and the course in very good condition following the previous day’s rain.

It was also a keen welcome back to Bruce Mitchell, who has been off the scene following recent surgery.

In a good sign, he also collected the major trophy for the day with a round of 23 points; with

a tie for second between Ron Green and Mal Richardson, equal on 20 points, with Ron ultimately collecting the prize on a count-back.

Once again, there was no winner of the Nearest-the-Pin event, so the prize jackpots.

The NAGA prize though went to Bob Fletcher in what was a very pleasant afternoon for these lucky players.

There was also sufficient players for the Pool match this week, with the winners and Pool Champs, Chris Harding and Bob Fletcher who defeated Ross King and Col Shepherdson.

That’s all for another week — see you all at the 19th!

Narromine to host NSW Veterans State Champ’s NARROMINE Golf Club has again been selected as the venue for the 2023 NSW Veterans Men’s Four Ball Sand Greens State Golf Championships.

“It is a major tournament and has been allocated to our club again, making it the eighth year, minus COVID,” said publicity officer, Norm Lewis.

“Narromine is honoured to have been allocated this important event on the NSW VGA golfing calendar. We held our first in 2015, thinking it would only be for one or two years,” he added.

The event will draw sand green golfers from throughout the state, he said.

“This major event is sure to attract golfers from all over NSW. No doubt the influx will be of benefit to the town, so much so that the Narromine Shire Council is

supporting the event.”

Mr Lewis said that, according to the Championships Shield which is displayed in the Narromine clubhouse, the event was fi rst played in 2002.

“During the time this tournament has been played in Narromine, several local players have featured prominently.

“Former Vet’s president Bruce Mitchell and his partner Neil Ashdown were successful in 2016 and club champions Tony Mann and Rob Williams were successful in 2019 and again in 2022; as defending champions they will be playing again this year,” he said.

In addition, current club president Peter Hutchinson won the event in 2015 while representing the Cobar Club.

The event this year is open to all male golfers over

55 years who are fi nancial members of a veterans club.

It is a Four Ball event over 36-holes, played over two days. In conjunction with the men’s event, the Narromine club is catering for the ladies who are attending by putting on an 18-hole individual stableford event each day.

Mr Lewis said that now was the time to put your name down for this prestigious event as nominations for the men’s championship as well as the ladies’ event close next week.

“The Narromine course is in top condition, thanks to the volunteer club members who have been working tirelessly to prepare the course; Narromine ladies will be in charge of catering for the week-end providing breakfast and lunch each day,” he concluded.

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES LIKE several other western area clubs, Mendooran had not hosted a race meeting since 2019, due to either COVID-19 or wet weather, so there was a big crowd on Saturday to see Daredevil win the local cup for Dubbo trainer, Dar Lunn.

Trained for his wife Jill Lunn, Daredevil had been racing consistently with placings in the recent Collie Cup at Gilgandra and also the Gular-

Mendooran Turf Club, Saturday, September 2 gambone Cup, and he started second-favourite behind Noble Pluck (at $3.50) in the 1200-metres Edwards Livestock Exports Mendooran Cup. Ridden by experienced apprentice, Jake Barrett, Daredevil (at $4), took the lead from Hampton Cove approaching the home turn, and held-on to win by over a length from Zamali (James Rogers at $26) and Miss Ash Star (Will Stanley at $8.50).

Tony Cavallo, who recently rode his 1000th winner, was aboard another resilient performer, Northern Conqueror, in the 1000-metres Benchmark 45 Handicap.

From the Bob Howe stable at Rylstone, the 11-year-old Northern Conqueror landed some good bets for punters when recording eight wins and 30 placings from 113 starts.

The $4.20 favourite, Adviser (Kelsey Lenton), hit the lead in the straight, but was overhauled and beaten by a halfhead by Northern Conqueror (in from $50 to $21) with Rupicasso (James Rogers at $4.80) a strong-fi nishing third.

Trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm for Clint Sarina, Star Of Kings was substantially supported and broke the track record when winning the 800-metres Class

Two Handicap.

Straight to the lead, Star Of Kings (Ronald Simpson, in from $2 to the $1.90 favourite) was a convincing winner over Inferno Miss (Jake Pracey-Holmes at $6) and Luckyimwithaimee (Will Stanley at $11).

Part-owned by Gilgandra Jockey Club President, Jason Tate, and trained by Kieren Hazelton, Turgenev won the JJ McGirr Silver Horseshoe Class Two Handicap.

With Shikishi and General Partner vying for the lead from the outset, Turgenev (Andrew Banks on the $3.20 equal favourite), coming from

near the back of the field, swooped in the straight to beat another strong fi nisher in Bill Peyto (Kelsey Lenton at $4.40) with Shikishi (Billy Cray on the $3.20 equal favourite) battling-on for third.

The other winners at the highly-successful meeting, were Butter Both Sides (at $4.40), well-ridden by Wellington apprentice, Dylan Stanley for Quirindi trainer, Geoff O’Brien, in the 1200-metres Fitzgerald Cup Maiden Handicap, and Cigar Bar (Jake Pracey-Holmes at $4) from the Jim Gleeson stable in the 1500-metres Greenhalgh Cup Maiden Plate.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE GRAND FINALS

Battle of Billy Dunn; Premiers Cobar taking-on the undefeated Terriers nal which will kick-off at 11.30am featuring the Coonabarabran Unicorns and the Gilgandra Panthers.

The Unicorns registered a big win over the Panthers earlier in the year, and appear to many to be the team to beat for premiership honours.

They were fi rst into the Grand Final with a hardfought win over the minor premiers, the Baradine Magpies, in the Major Semi Final two weeks ago.

After fi nishing fi fth on the competition ladder, the Panthers have been treading the sudden-death semi fi nal tightrope ever since, and have had to defeat Gulgong, Cobar, and Baradine in order to gain a berth in the Big Dance.

Winning form is good form, but whether or not the Panthers can down the impressive Unicorn outfit, remains to be seen.

Gates will open at 9.30am for what will be a fantastic day of Christie and Hood Castlereagh Rugby League!

By BRYSON LUFF THE scene is set for a battle royal at Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval this Saturday with the Gulgong Bull Terriers and the Cobar Roosters fighting it out for the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League First Grade premiership honours.

Apart from shooting for the Premiers Shield and Cup, a Grand Final victory to the hitherto undefeated Terriers, would give them a very realistic chance of securing the highly-prestigious Clayton Cup; awarded annually to the best-performed first grade team in country NSW rugby league.

It would also be the icing on the cake for the club in the year that they have been celebrating their 100th anniversary!

Standing in their way, are Cobar Roosters, who earned the right to go for back-toback premierships when they staged a remarkable comeback in the fi nal minutes of the preliminary final against the Narromine Jets last Saturday.

In that match, the Roosters looked like shot ducks with the scoreboard reading 22-8 in favour of the Jets with just 18 minutes to go, but they certainly gave their supporters much to cheer about, when they stormed home to pile on 22 unanswered points to record a memorable 30-22 win!

Being undefeated and playing at home, Gulgong will go into the Grand Final as favourites but, if the last time that these two teams met, which was just two weeks ago in the Major Semi-Final at the same venue is any indication, then they will need to be on their game to holdout the Roosters.

The opening 15 minutes in that game, when the Terriers raced to an 18-0 lead, proved to be crucial to their fi nal 3428 win against the fast-fi nishing Roosters.

As was evidenced again

Undefeated this season, the Gulgong Bull Terriers take on Cobar Roosters for the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League First Grade this Saturday. PHOTO: STEPHEN BASHAM. last Saturday, being slow out of the blocks is an area of concern for the Roosters, and it will need to be addressed, along with their poor ball security, for them to not present the Terriers with scoring opportunities.

Gulgong has proven themselves to be a fit and well-balanced side throughout the year, however, depending on how you view match fitness going into a game, the fact that this will be only their second run in four weeks, might be considered as either beneficial or detrimental to their chances of success.

Similarly, depending on your view, the vast amount

of travel endured by the Roosters, and the tough nature of the games that they have played recently, might be thought of as a positive or negative for them as well.

The Terriers might have earnt the right to enter the game as favourites, but the Roosters never-say-die attitude and their desire to defend their 2022 Premiership, will ensure one very entertaining and tough Grand Final.

In other games, the League Tag Grand Final between Dunedoo Swannettes and the Narromine Jets, will highlight the skilfulness and the speed of the Castlereagh League Tag competition.

The Swannettes are undefeated, and are the only side to have defeated the Jets, all be it, by just a few points when the two teams met in their competition match earlier in the year, before they registered a big win in the Major Semi Final two weeks ago when the Jets were missing a couple of players.

Those two wins mean absolutely nothing now, with the two teams seemingly very evenly-matched, and it could well be the bounce of the ball, that decides the winner in what should an extremely fast and close affair!

The opening game will be the Reserve Grade Grand Fi-

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE PRELIMINARY FINALS

Roosters ground Jets in comeback win

By BRYSON LUFF COBAR Roosters are quite accustomed to taking the long road but, on Saturday, it was the Narromine Jets doing the driving in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League preliminary final.

While the journey was not long at all for Cobar, it most certainly was hard and difficult for both the players and their large band of supporters in their big match at their beloved Tom Knight Oval in Cobar.

While the Jets were on top for large periods of the contest as the Roosters — not for the fi rst time in recent outings — put themselves in a precarious position on the scoreboard, it took one almighty comeback late in the game before they secured themselves a Grand Final berth against the Gulgong Bull Terriers next Saturday in Gulgong.

Although it seemed unlikely at times; this game provides them with the opportunity to claim back-toback premierships!

Throughout the match, the Roosters ball security was not of a high standard, with their inability to retain possession costing them dearly whilst aiding and abetting the Jets who were able to stretch a half-time 10-8 lead out to what seemed to be a match-winning 22-8 scoreboard midway through the second half.

Prior to what was a to prove to be a pivotal play by Cobar’s Captain-Coach, Thomas Plater in the 23rd minute of the second stanza, the Jets looked to be the dominant side, with only rapid-fi re tries in the 19th and 21st minutes of the fi rst half to the Roosters, being the lone bright period of play for the home-side up until that point.

Certainly, Plater’s quick thinking in executing a oneon-one strip of the ball from a Narromine player who had just fielded a Roosters kick in his own in goal, and grounding the ball for a try, provided Cobar with some degree of

belief that they were still in the game. Whilst their ball retention continued to flounder, their will to win did not and, after two unconverted tries in the 27th and 34th minutes of the second-half, it was 22-all!

A penalty goal to the Roosters then edged them ahead 2422 with just minutes remaining and, with the game on a knife-edge, the result was not decided until Rooster’s centre Fraser Talu touched down in the last few seconds of the game to ensure that his side were into their second successive grand fi nal with the fi nal score being 30-22.

Whilst the result was obviously disappointing for the Narromine club, they will be represented in the grand finals next Saturday by their Ladies League Tag side that registered a strong 36-14 win over the Cobar Roosterettes.

They will take on the Dunedoo Swannettes, the only side this year to have beaten them.

After finishing fifth on the competition ladder the Gilgandra Panthers Reserve Grade side will also be travelling to Gulgong next Saturday to play the Coonabarabran Unicorns, after they got away from the Baradine Magpies in the second half in their match at Cobar.

The Panthers were narrow 12-10 leaders at the break, before finishing up as 32-10 winners. Games at Gulgong next Saturday, will kick off at 11.30am.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, September 7, 2023

Narromine Jets Ladies’ League Tag team flies off to another grand final From page 24 “The team has been led strongly all season by co-captain/coaches Lily Spackman and Kodi Stirling, with their talented group of girls turning up to training and listening to the coaches and putting what they practice onto the field, which has shown terrific results with the team racking up some big scores in attack as well as some low scores in defence.

“Throughout the year the girls have raised money for Macquarie Homestay in Dubbo and also supported the Women In League (WIL) by designing and wearing specially made jerseys for the WIL round. They are always happy to help out in the canteen and bar or wherever possible.

“The Narromine Jets Ladies’ League Tag players have been a pleasure to have in the club and the Jets committee would like to wish them all the best for Saturday’s grand final. The game should kick off about 12:45 pm on Saturday at Gulgong so wear your red and white and come and cheer on the girls in what will be a fantastic game of footy.”

Go the Jets!

Who are our grand finalists?

1. Jacana Powell. One of the competition’s safest and electrifying fullbacks, Jacana is always attacking the football when it’s kicked down field and chases at full speed to make the tag on the opposition.

2. Lucy Dawson. While still only young herself, Lucy has shown so much improvement and is now one of the main attacking options on the wing.

3. Abbie Mitchell. A part of the team and club for a few years now, Abbie is always happy when amongst her teammates.

Rarely misses a tag or a chance to score a try.

4. Kelsea Phillips. With deceiving pace, Kelsea seems to always find space in the opposition defensive line and sets up the next play with a quick play the ball. Safe as a bank in defence.

5. Millah Phillips. With the ability to dive and fly through the air to make a tag on her opposite numbers, Millah is a huge reason there are barely any tries scored down her side of the field.

6. Lily Spackman. Putting in 100 per cent in every game she plays and always backing up

when there is a break made, Lily has had many try-assists for her teammates with her vision in attack.

7. Shian Chatfield. The best player in the competition by a country mile, Shian has all the football attributes needed to be the best. Everyone is hoping for her good form to continue in the grand final.

8. Shayana Naden. A special player in the middle of the field, Shayana is more than capable of putting a teammate through a gap or jinking her way through herself.

9. Emily Edwards. The baby of the team, Emily plays well beyond her years and is a huge part of the team’s success.

When she decides to run the ball she is electrifying.

10. Reagan Chatfield. Another great player in the middle of the field, Reagan gets through a mountain of work with her hit ups and tags.

11. Taylor McLean. No one can remember the last time Taylor has dropped a ball or missed a tag and she is always in the right spot on the field to help a teammate.

12. Brooke Pattie. First year in the Jets club and when given her chance, Brooke has shown that she has all the footy ability needed to be an asset in this team.

13. Kodi Stirling. Kodi had a disrupted season with a badly broken finger but is back to her scheming best on the field, and is jumping out of her skin to be the enforcer for the team in the grand final.

14. Rebecca Smyth. Rebecca is One of the players in the team that will lead by example with her experience and footy ability, which will be showcased with every touch of the football on Saturday.

15. Talitha Chatfield. A player that has the ability to change the game when she comes on the field while running at a tired defence, Talitha will be sure to give everything she has in defence.

16. Zoe-Anne Walker. A little pocket rocket who comes off the bench and shows her speed when she gets the ball in her hands, Zoe-Anne chases the opposition all day to make the tags.

17. Alexi Everett. Another super sub-player who, when she has a bit of space, can scorch the grass with her pace, Alexi is always at training and never misses a game.

18. Beth Clarke. Beth has an absolute sixth sense of when to run and when to step, and when she does decide to do these she is unstoppable. Incredible balance when running the footy.

19. Victoria Sambrook. A versatile player who can play in the middle or out on the edge of the field, Victoria can always be relied upon to put in full effort.

20. Lea Clarke. The most experienced player of the team who grew up bashing her brothers in backyard footy but is now happy to stick to League Tag, Lea is a super competitor who never gives up.

21. Sally McMaster. Another first year player at the Jets who has enjoyed her time on the paddock with some great runs up the middle of the field, Sally is also safe in the defensive line when needed.

THINK What have I got to lose?

Never too early to start, young Danny Walker was the C-Grade Handicap runner-up in his first competition, the Trangie Open. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

Danny impresses in first tournament; C-Grade runner-up at Trangie Open AS Tiger Woods showed by sinking putts on television aged only six, it’s never too early to start in golf.

So with Warren local lad, Danny Walker, who played in his fi rst competition over the week-

end, competing in the Trangie Open.

Jets Ladies’ League Tag team flies off to another grandfinal

By SHARON BONTHUYS A FANTASTIC performance by the Narromine Jets Ladies’ League Tag team at Cobar last weekend will see them face off against the Dunedoo Swanettes in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Grand Final at Billy Dunn Oval, Gulgong, on September 9.

With the 21-strong team ranging in age from 16 through to 40s, the Jets’ League Tag team defeated the Cobar Roosters 36-14 in a game that co-captain/coach Lily Spackman described as the “best game we’ve played all season.

"It was really positive, everyone was there to do their job.

We went out there to play good footy, support each other, and I think that’s why the win was so special,” she told the Narromine Star.

“We’ve all worked hard to get into the grand fi nal and we’ve got a few new girls this year so to make it to the grand fi nal is really special. The team is really close which makes it really good.”

Ms Spackman said she hopes a lot of local people will make the trip to Gulgong to support the team on their special day.

“It’s the big game and I’m hoping a lot of supporters from

Narromine will come. I think the Jets are organising a supporters’ bus as well.”

The groundswell of support for the local ladies’ team and women’s sport in general is pleasing to see, considering women’s sport has often taken a back seat to the men’s competition across a multitude of sports. The recent success of The Matildas at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia attracting record television viewing numbers and attendances at games has been an incredible boost for women’s football across all codes.

“Most of us have played sport all our lives and it feels

really special to be recognised.

We made the grand final last year and now we’ve made it again. People make comment at work or in the community so we know that we’re recognised and it feels really good,” Ms Spackman said.

The women’s League Tag team fi rst entered the Castlereagh Cup in 2022 from Group 11 and had an awesome year making it to that grand final, Ms Spackman said.

“We thrived in last year’s Castlereagh Cup and we were the very fi rst Narromine Jets League Tag team to, one, make it to the fi nals, and two, make it to a grand fi nal. To make it

again this year is really exciting. It just goes to show how hard we’ve worked over the last couple of years.”

President of the Narromine Jets Rugby League, Michael Burns, said the club is very proud of the team’s success.

“The Narromine Jets Ladies’ League Tag team has had a great season to date, only losing two games with both losses coming from the Dunedoo Swans. The girls will be out to avenge these losses and hold the shield up victoriously at the end of the grand fi nal,” he said.
