By SHARON BONTHUYS DUST off your boots, grab your family and friends and get on down to the Narromine United Services Memorial Club (USMC) this weekend for two days and three nights of cracking-good, totally free country music entertainment.

The Dusty Boots Festival and Awards are back in town over the King’s Birthday long weekend, featuring performances by a host of Australian country music artists.

Those slated to perform at this year’s event include Lance Birrell, Greg Franks, Shane Saffy, Rob Breese, Darryl Ingram, Kinta Watts, Dwayne Elix, Dale Hooper, Charley Boyter, Grazy’s Country, Gayle O’Neil, Kirsten Minnick, Wayne Metcalf and Michael Jones.

Dusty Boots differs from other country music festivals in that not only is it free to attend — a miracle in today’s climate where several pay-to-attend popular music festivals have been cancelled, including the Narromine Dolly Parton Festival — it also recognises artists and supporters for their services to country music.

Some 17 awards will be presented during the event.

Anti-vaping pilot project expands in Narromine “NO smoking, no vaping” signs will be installed at sporting fields across Narromine, Trangie, and Tomingley as the next step in the Narromine Anti-Vaping Intervention (NAVI) pilot project.

The move comes as part of a concerted, collaborative effort to help ensure community sporting venues in the shire remain smoke and vape-free, improve knowledge around the risks of smoking and vaping, as well as pathways to quit.

What’s ‘vaping’?

WE all know what cigarettes are and the health dangers associated with them, but do you know what “vapes” and their health impacts are?

According to the NSW Health website, vapes are electronic devices designed to deliver vapourised liquids into the lungs when a person breathes this in.

“Vapes can contain over 200 chemicals known to harm human health, including the same harmful chemicals found in cleaning products, nail polish remover, weed killer and bug spray,” the website states.

Many vapes contain nicotine and can lead to nicotine addiction and nicotine poisoning, and a range of other health complications similar to those generated from smoking.

Signs like this one at Cale Oval, Narromine, will be installed around the shire as part of the NAVI project. PHOTO: NARROMINE JETS RUGBY LEAGUE.

NAVI pilot program STARTING in mid-2023, the Western NSW Local Health District’s (WNSWLHD) Health Promotion Team partnered with Narromine Shire Council to deliver the NAVI pilot project locally.

NAVI aims to increase knowledge of the impacts of smoking and vaping among

young people in the shire, in particular, by working with key community partners to develop and implement intervention strategies.

Health Promotion Officer Emma Fitzgerald said signage was installed across the Shire from Friday, May 31, coinciding with “World No Tobacco Day.” “By law, vape-free areas

“At community venues like sporting grounds and facilities it is incredibly important to build a healthy environment, because there is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke or vapour,” Ms Fitzgerald said.

Prayers answered: new minister arrives EVERY Monday night for over three years, a dedicated prayer group at Narromine’s St Mary’s Anglican Church prayed for a new Minister to fi ll the void left after their previous one moved on.

Recently, their prayers were answered when the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst shared the news that a new Minister would be relocating to Narromine with his family.

Last Saturday, the Diocese joined the church council, local parishioners and representatives from other community churches for a commissioning service at St Mary’s to welcome Luke Merriman as the new Lay Stipendiary Minister.

New minister commissioned Led by the Right Reverend Mark Calder, Bishop, assisted by Archdeacons Jono Williams and Andrew Thornhill, the uplifting service combined prayer, hymns, religious readings and affirmations as Mr Merriman confi rmed his commitment to the role ministering to the Narromine parish.

Bishop Calder explained that as a Lay Stipendiary Minister, Mr Merriman is licenced to provide Ministry for the church with the authority of an ordained Minister while he goes through the process of becoming one. Mr Merriman will serve two and a half days per week in this role.

Bishop Calder told the congregation that Mr Merriman’s appointment was very much like a new shepherd being appointed to care for an established flock, which had to adjust to new ways and different approaches.

“The sheep came to understand that this new shepherd loved them, and came to put their trust in the shepherd,” Bishop Calder said, encouraging the congregation to love, support, and cherish their new Minister, and give him time to settle into his new role.

Bishop Calder also reminded the congregation that “Ministry” was every-

He thanked those members for doing so.

The Bishop also said one of the new Minister’s roles was to help mend “broken people” so they could be in a position to serve, as “Ministry is for everyone.”

“Luke, that’s your job,” he said.

After the service, the congregation gathered for morning tea in the church hall.

spent time at the Parkes Champion-Post and other rural publications.

“At this time I’ll be giving as much time as I can [to the parish] for the fi rst month to settle in, and [later] I would also like to get local work in the community,” Mr Merriman said.

Of his new role as Lay Stipendiary Minister in the parish, Mr Merriman is looking forward to helping his congregation and the community where he can.

“I think there’s a lot of need in Narromine, as there is everywhere. I just want to be helping to meet those needs,” he said.

Merriman family moves from the coast

Thankful for prayers answered

Mr Merriman has relocated from Nowra on the south-coast with wife Lauren and their three young children, Lachlan, Annabelle and Theodore.

He is thrilled to be able to serve the communities of Narromine, Trangie and Dandaloo, and will look to supplement that with part-time work in the community.

“Today is not about me,” Mr Merriman said.

“I want to thank those who have gone before me.

I stand on your shoulders.”

Mr Merriman has a newspaper background with Fairfax Media, and

Sandra Edmunds is one of the St Mary’s congregation who prayed each week for a new Minister and is thoroughly delighted that their prayers have been answered.

“We’ve been praying ever since Phil Howes left.

Now, after three and a half years, we’ve been brought another shepherd,” an excited Ms Edmunds told the Narromine Star.

“It’s our job now to support him.”

Merri Giffen is another parishioner who prayed for change and is thankful for the arrival of their new Minister.

aging — in big letters — is how I feel right now,” Ms Giffen said.

“We struggled for the last three years, and our [internal] lay preachers served us well during a very difficult time. I’m so thankful to God for Luke coming.”

Ms Giffen said she could see St Mary’s Anglican Church growing as a result.

Mr Merriman’s parents and some of their neighbours made the trip from their homes near Canberra to attend the commissioning service.

Neighbour Deanna Hinds-Smith, who attends the church at Gunning, east of Yass, with Mr Merriman’s parents Sharon and John, was one of those who travelled from afar to attend the commissioning service.

She told the Narromine Star she was pleased to be present during this very special moment in Luke Merriman’s life.

Narromine parishioner Phil Hand said Ms HindsSmith was “part of the community who built up the person who came here to serve.”

The Monday night prayer group at St Mary’s is still going, and bolstered by their success with gaining a new Minister, now focuses their prayers on other matters of importance.

“It’s very good to have your prayers answered,” Ms Giffen concluded.

The Dusty Boots Festival and Awards are on again in Narromine this weekend. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

“Get your country on” at Dusty Boots music festival this long weekend From page 1 family-friendly entertainment in Narromine over the long weekend.

Mr Norton has staged the festival for several years to honour his father, regional country music pioneer Johnny Norton, who passed away in 1983, aged 48.

His father was a great supporter of other country music artists, and the awards recognise the great contributions that many people on and off the stage have made to country music in Australia.

The festival found a new, permanent home in Narromine in 2022 at the USMC, and has been held there every year since.

Despite some significant ill-health that has seen him spend time in hospital over the past year, the super-organised Mr Norton says everything is in place and ready to go for this year’s festival and awards.

He is awaiting delivery of a

specialised wheelchair which could impact his attendance at this year’s festival if it doesn’t arrive in time, but he says the event will run like clockwork even if he is not there in person.

“It will run the same as always, just without me,” Mr Norton said. “I’m only a small cog in a big wheel.”

Mr Norton is actually a very big cog in the festival’s organisational wheel, personally funding the majority of the costs of staging the event.

The support of the country music performers for his father’s dream has also been critical to the success of the event.

“I’m doing this for my Dad, and to keep his dream alive.

All the musos working with me are there for that same reason and for what this festival provides,” he said.

Other support for the event has come in the form of cash and in-kind contributions.

The USMC continues to provide the venue for the event,

while the Narromine Shire Council has also helped to promote the festival.

Tomingley Gold Operations has also provided fi nancial support through its community fund, and Lister’s Machinery has sponsored the John P Toomey songwriting competition held as part of the event.

Support has also been provided by Trangie Newsagency and Secretarial, Fully Promoted, Padee Outback Jobbers, and the Narromine Lions Club will cook a cheap, fi lling breakfast at the Rockwall Caravan Park over the weekend.

Split Image Audio will provide the stage, sound and lighting for the event, and DM Photography will attend to capture the action and the memories.

The Dusty Boots Festival and Awards start tomorrow night and will run through until Sunday evening. Are you going to “get your country on” and visit this free music festival?

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

FOCUS ON VOLUNTEERS

Trangie Men’s Shed is working on great projects: join them!

By SHARON BONTHUYS WHAT does a bar table, an old telecommunications’ switchboard, a huge sign, and an old truck body all have in common?

They are all past or present projects undertaken by the volunteers at Trangie’s Men’s Shed, which continues to support its community through its restoration and refurbishment work.

The local group meets three times a week at their shed located beside the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall, with the men currently working on several unique and interesting projects.

One of these involves refurbishing a sign the group originally built a decade ago, members explained.

“It’s a project for the Trangie Action Group in collaboration with the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council,” member John Wise revealed.

“We’ll take the sign to the Wungunja Cultural Centre for some additional painting when we’re finished here,” Brian George added.

The sign will eventually be re-installed near the “Big Billy” at the Goan Waterhole on the edge of town.

Another project the group is working on involves refurbishing the body of an old truck dating from 1930. It’s a long-term labour of love for a Men’s Shed client who aims to display the vehicle on its 100th anniversary.

“We’re still negotiating with the client about what to do to proceed,” Mr Wise said.

“The wood needed for it is quite expensive,” he added.

Other projects the Men’s Shed team have completed include building a bar table for a local, and restoring a switchboard from the old Trangie Telephone Exchange. The group also regularly undertakes small projects for the Trangie Mul-

tipurpose Health Service.

With its oldest member turning 102, and the youngest ever to attend being just a teen, the Trangie Men’s Shed would love more local men to join them. Ladies, too, if that is of interest.

Some of the older members are unable to attend regularly anymore, Mr Wise said, but the group would like to keep going.

If you’d like to join the Trangie Men’s Shed and give your time to a good cause that supports connection and mental health while doing something good for the community, or if you have a special project for the group to work on, pop on down to see them.

House extensively damaged in late night blaze

By SHARON BONTHUYS A NARROMINE house was extensively damaged in a late night fi re earlier this week, the fi rst to occur since the onset of winter.

Fire crews from Narromine, Trangie, and Dubbo attended the blaze at the unoccupied, fully furnished house, which was reported at 11.30pm on Tuesday, June 4.

The local Rural Fire Service and HAZMAT unit also attended.

Quick action by the attending fi re crews ensured surrounding homes were not impacted, said Captain Lucas Walsh from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Station 401 Narromine.

Fire crews spent about three hours at the scene. No one was evacuated and no injuries were reported, captain Walsh said.

Police and FRNSW are investigating.

The Narromine Star spoke to a number of local residents who asked not to be identified.

One resident said they were alerted to the fi re when they smelled smoke and checked their own property.

“We called triple zero and then told our neighbours to get out,” the resident said.

Another resident said the property had been unoccupied for some time and they were shocked at the size and intensity of the blaze.

“There was no damage to our place but there’s a lot of black ash about,” the resident said.

Stay safe and aware this winter CAPTAIN Walsh has joined with Captain Wade Haines from FRNSW Station 465 Trangie to remind residents of the importance of being fi re-aware and fi re-safe this winter.

With 48 per cent of residential house fi res in the region starting as a result of human behaviour, the fi refighters are encouraging residents to reduce the risk of fi re occurring in their homes.

The most common cause of house fi res is unattended cooking, they said.

This is easily preventable by not leaving the kitchen while cooking.

Captain Walsh said lithium-ion batteries are the fastest growing fi re risk in NSW. Some four per cent of house fi res in the region were linked to lithium-ion batteries, which are a type of rechargeable battery found in a range of electronic devices including mobile phones, tablets, laptops, power banks, power tools, and larger items including electronic bikes (e-bikes) and e-scooters.

Electric vehicles also contain lithium-ion batteries and some six fi res have occurred in e-vehicles since 2010, according to the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia.

Main photo: Fire crews battle the late night blaze in Moss Avenue, Narromine. PHOTO: FRNSW Right: The morning after the blaze. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR. Right, below: The fully furnished house was unoccupied at the time of the blaze.

Two people died in February this year in a lithium-ion battery-related fi re at Lake Macquarie.

At that time, approximately five incidents per week linked to these types of batteries were being recorded, FRNSW reported.

When lithium-ion batteries fail, that energy is rapidly released which can create explosions, highly toxic fumes and secondary ignitions, even after the flames have been extinguished.

FRNSW says the public can prevent hazards by charging safely (not while occupants are asleep or away from home), being aware of warning signs, disposing of lithium-ion batteries correctly, and knowing what to do if something goes wrong.

Other safety measures “THE best way to stay out of harm's way this winter is to take measures to prevent a fi re from occurring in the fi rst instance,” Captain Haines said.

“It is vitally important for people to have a working smoke alarm in their home and to test it regularly.”

Captain Haines and Captain Walsh have provided these quick tips for being fi re-aware and fi re-safe in your home this winter. (See next column.)

Do: z Keep looking when cooking. z Keep everything a metre from the heater. z Check electric blankets for frayed cords and other damage. z Have a Home Escape Plan and make sure all family members know what it is and different ways to get out, especially children. z Only use chargers that show the Australian Regulatory Compliance Mark Tick.

Don’t: z Overload power boards. z Use wheat bags to warm your bed as they may smoulder and catch fire. z Use outdoor heating and cooking equipment inside the home, as it can be fatal. z Use and charge batteries that are swelling or bulging, leaking, or overheating.

Can clothing make the person?

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH

By PHILIP HAND IT’S been a good interest for me, over the last 12 months, learning the ropes at the Vinnies shop. Sorting up donations, deciding what’s saleable and where they are located around the store — amongst other work there, as it comes along.

There are also a great deal of items for the home generally, like manchester and kitchenware, not to mention the seemingly endless amount

of kids toys and games that go around.

But since clothes are the bulk of the stock on hand, I reckon I’ve learnt a thing or two about them since I started, such as the brand name of clothes that are of better quality.

In the Bible, the Apostle Paul is trying to teach us a thing or two about clothes as well. There are six items for us to wear and there are parallels with the armour worn by a Roman soldier.

Not one of the six pieces should be neglected as they, together, give us better quality, even divine, protection.

Roman soldiers would’ve had the pick of what to be clothed in back in Jesus’ day.

So Paul’s advice, that he

wrote in a letter to some Christian friends at a church in Ephesus, was very helpful.

They needed everything in their favour in the fi rst century Christian church.

Ephesus was situated in what is now Turkey, across the Mediterranean Sea from Athens. It was rich through trade and commerce, a Roman provincial capital and a harrowing place for a follower of Jesus.

In chapter six of the book Ephesians, Paul starts his description of attire in verse 10.

The fi rst three are things we wear all the time. The last three, interestingly, are ones we pick up as needed for the moment.

Paul writes: “Stand fi rm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.”

A story is told of a World War II plane crashing because the crew didn’t think the instrument panel was correct. God’s word is our infallible instrument panel, so we need to read and believe it, as truth, no matter what your senses, the devil or anyone else is telling you.

Paul says fitted shoes are important; shoes mean that you are going somewhere.

God can confi rm to our heart the rightness of our direction by a peace that He gives us.

We can’t expect to hear from God if we remain frozen on the spot.

The living Bible says: “wear shoes that are able to speed you on as you share the good news of peace with God.” Next item to put on is a breastplate, it comes straight

out of the imagery of the Roman soldier, and we can remember it. It covers your heart, which is meant to beat in sync with God’s word.

We are to live a life of love, imitating God, Ephesians 5:2 says. And when we don’t, when we’re out of step with Him, God sets off a warning beep. It’s saying there is something wrong and ignoring it is unwise. So a guard over our heart needs to be in place.

We’ve got half way through the list of things to wear. I’ll have to adjourn untill next week to complete the pieces to put on.

If you see some new faces around, it could be our new minister Luke Merriman, and his family. He has just started at our church.

Have your say: review into costs of out-of-home care OUT-OF-HOME care providers, workers, and carers of children and young people have been invited to have their say to improve the performance of the system.

The NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) is conducting a review focused on the cost of delivering out-of-home care and the pricing arrangements with the

non-government providers who deliver care under contract with the NSW Government.

IPART has released a consultation paper seeking feedback on the costs of caring for children and young people in out-of-home care to inform the review.

IPART Chair Carmel Donnelly said the NSW Government had requested the review to

ensure the out-of home care system can better meet the needs of children and young people in care by improving how that care is funded.

“Out-of-home care is provided when children or young people can’t live with their own families,” Ms Donnelly said.

Around 15,000 children and young people are currently in some

form of out-of-home care across NSW. The system is facing a range of challenges that include growing costs and a shortage of suitable placements, she added.

“We will be investigating the costs of caring for and supporting children and young people in out-of-home care to ensure that funding is used effectively and efficiently.

“This will include looking at the costs for both the NSW Department of Communities and Justice and for non-government providers.

“We will also be looking at the allowance foster carers, relatives and kinship carers receive to meet the costs of providing care and support to the children and young people they

care for,” Ms Donnelly concluded.

For more information or to make a submission to the review before the close off date later this month, visit the IPART website.

IPART is expected to submit a Final Report to the Premier and the Minister for Families and Communities and Disability Inclusion in May 2025.

8 DELI-CIOUS GEMS “Delightful” MiddleEastern flavours in our deli

By NORMA REID IN our multicultural society, we are fortunate to experience all the flavours of the world right here at home.

There is a range of delicacies in the deli that are not found anywhere else in our area. Many well-travelled visitors are pleasantly surprised, and some get quite excited, when they find Halva or Turkish Delight right here in Narromine.

For a true Middle-Eastern blast, nothing speaks to me as much as the very versatile Zaatar, a blend of herbs and spices very much like dukkha.

I use it to make Zaatar bread or pop it in as a flavour for avocados, toast, meat, fish, or chicken, and in a salad on veggies.

It gives a taste sensation unlike anything else.

A customer tells me she pops Zaatar onto her eggs in the morning.

Not only do we supply these out-there foods, but we also know how to use them, what they are made of, and where to source them.

Our Sydney-based supplier sources their products from Turkey or Egypt. The ongoing confl ict overseas does cause

supply issues, however, so we are always appreciative when we can get our products in.

Halva is a traditional Middle-Eastern dessert, used as part of morning tea and generally served with strong, sweet, black Turkish coffee. The coffee is boiled and served in small Turkish cups. It packs a punch in bitterness and sweetness due to the added sugar.

Halva is made from crushed sesame seeds, halva leaf, tahini and sugar. It comes in a variety of flavours including plain, chocolate, with pistachios or almonds, and no sugar. Many people who have tried Halva prefer the pistachio flavour, in my experience.

Then there is Baklava, hand-made in our deli as our regular supplier no longer makes it. Mamuol and Katyifi are other sweets that come to mind when talking about morning tea. No plain jam biscuits and a cuppa can compare.

If you would like a cup of Turkish coffee made in the traditional manner, just ask me to make you one. It is a process and a work of art.

Traditional Turkish Delight is imported from

Thursday, June 6, 2024 Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region NARROMINE STAR

Turkey and is so soft and delicious. It is nothing like the ones you may have accessed locally.

Over the past two years, we have sourced Turkish Delight from three different suppliers due to international confl icts.

The difference in size, texture, icing sugar and taste has been interesting. The ones currently in the deli are probably the best so far.

The in-house cooking I do has an underlying Middle-Eastern flavour as I grew up with meals liberally peppered with a range of herbs and spices.

Garlic, onions and parsley are also used widely in all my cooking.

If you have ever tried any of my meals, you will fi nd I use many herbs and spices and very little salt, as the herbs and spices generally bolster the food and give it a wholesome flavour.

Re-imagining the oldfor-new gives food a fresh twist which delights the tastebuds. I am always excited to try out and experiment with new flavours and recipes that give our town that extra bit of “special”.

Casual speeding is the biggest cause of trauma on NSW roads

Anti-vaping pilot project expands in Narromine

From page 1 “Along with installing signage, we are also working closely with sporting clubs and user groups to provide them with ‘Vaping Leaves You Breathless’ toolkits, which include information, posters and other promotional items to help them keep their members and community informed.”

Narromine Shire Council’s General Manager, Jane Redden, said building a healthy environment at sporting venues is a whole-of-community effort. She thanked the sporting clubs and user groups that have supported this initiative and will lead by example.

“The Smoke-Free Environment Act applies during all training sessions, organised events and the duration of any sporting games at facilities, and we’re thrilled to see so many local clubs and groups committed to making a difference,” Mrs Redden said.

“These laws were designed to provide our community with a healthier environment, so we’re calling on people to take individual responsibility and utilise the resources provided to better understand the rules and keep our facilities free of second-hand

smoke and vapour,” she added.

A collaborative effort MS Fitzgerald said the installation of new signage builds on initiatives already in place since the NAVI pilot project began last year.

These include the development and implementation of support strategies in collaboration with Narromine High School.

“We worked with Narromine High School, Narromine Health Service and a number of other local partners to co-design the NAVI project, as we recognised a lack of understanding of the harms and risks associated with vaping, particularly in young people,” Ms Fitzgerald said.

“Last year, we hosted a number of education sessions and conducted surveys at Narromine High School focusing on building an understanding of the dangers of vaping to empower students to make informed life choices.

“These sessions have helped us develop a range of anti-vaping strategies which have been put in place at Narromine High School, and more broadly across the town. We

will continue to share the learnings across local schools to build additional support and education for young people,” Ms Fitzgerald added.

“As we continue the NAVI pilot project in Narromine, we will begin evaluating its success and effectiveness across the area, which will allow us to determine and plan how the project could be replicated or implemented in a similar way across other areas of our district,” she concluded.

Support to quit THE NSW Quitline (13 78 48) is a free, confidential service which provides information and support to help quit smoking or vaping.

Quitline advisors can provide advice to family and friends looking to support someone to quit.

Aboriginal counsellors are also available.

The Narromine Health Service, local GPs and the Narromine Pharmacy have supported the NAVI pilot project and are also available to provide advice and support to people in the area who want to quit smoking or vaping.

More information on the harms associated with vaping can be found on the NSW Health website.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Disappointed Dolly Festival dropped Dear Editor, As an 85-year-old former resident of Narromine, I want you to know how disappointed my two daughters and I are to fi nd that the Dolly Parton Festival has been cancelled.

We were so looking forward to attending the events.

I am surprised at the decision as it seemed many people were going to attend, based on the fact that accommodation was fully booked in January. We managed to get two rooms in a motel in Dubbo.

NSW Health ‘Apology’ plaque installed at Trangie MPHS

By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE Multi-Purpose Health Service (MPHS) staff joined members of the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council, community members, and residents of Kurrajong Court aged care facility on May 30 to formally acknowledge the plaque installed onsite bearing the NSW Health Apology to members and survivors of the Stolen Generations.

It was the latest health service in the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) and the second in Narromine Shire to do so, following a similar unveiling in Narromine on May 27.

The WNSWLHD has installed plaques at its health facilities across the district, acknowledging the grief and suffering NSW Health, its hospitals and health facilities caused to the Stolen Generations and their families.

The plaque contains an inscription of the NSW Health Apology made by Secretary Susan Pearce (AM) in 2022, to recognise the deep trauma caused by removing Aboriginal children from their families and communities. It also recognises that the removal of children often took place in hospitals or other health institutions.

WNSWLHD Chief Executive Mark Spittal said installing the Apology plaques in every health service in the district was about accountability as much as advancing Reconciliation.

“We aspire to be an organisation that is accountable to our Aboriginal community, is an active partner in Reconciliation, and which strives to do better for Aboriginal people at every level of our organisation,” Mr Spittal said.

The Chairperson of the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council, Auntie Diane Smith, delivered the Welcome to Country at the service led by Trangie Multipurpose Health Service Manager, Lyn Harris. “[The NSW Health Apolo-

gy] acknowledged that many Aboriginal children admitted to hospitals never returned to their families and communities,” Ms Harris told those gathered.

“At the time of the NSW Health Apology, more than 30,700 Aboriginal people lived in our local district, from numerous nations across our own vast geographical footprint and beyond.”

For so many impacted by forced removals from healthcare facilities, the damage and hurt caused to the Stolen Generations continues to affect not only their health and wellbeing but also their ability to trust that places of healthcare are also places of safety, Ms Harris said.

“Today it’s our turn to stand on Wiradjuri Country and offer this Apology. We sincerely Apologise for the role that NSW Health had in the forced

removal of Aboriginal children from our hospitals and institutions.

become the force for positive change, working with respect, passion and an open mind.

“We acknowledge the inconceivable pain and suffering experienced by those from the Stolen Generations themselves and by the generations afterwards whose families and communities are still impacted today,” she added.

“To our community and especially the First Nations people, I reassure you that we have an ongoing commitment to improvement, including meaningful and measurable actions,” she said.

Ms Harris said the community’s health facilities should be places of comfort and security where all people felt safe, respected and cared for. She encouraged her health team to

Residents of Kurrajong Court aged care facility attended the service on May 30: Coral Herbert, Fay Wallace, Lorna Hayden, Heather Phillips and Colin Simpson, with staff Roslyn Hayden and Mele Kaufusi.

“We are focusing and prioritising key actions through our Reconciliation Action Plan and through the Aboriginal Cultural Engagement Assessment Audit, which enables us to measure Cultural safety.

“We will continue to advance our efforts in improving meaningful health outcomes for all Aboriginal people,” Ms Harris concluded.

Phil Carney, Aboriginal Health Worker for Trangie and Narromine, also addressed the gathering and read from the NSW Health Apology on behalf of the WNSWLHD. “With children being forcibly removed, it has resulted in much trauma,” Mr Carney said, reflecting on the policies that drove such actions.

“Health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is holistic. If one area is impacted then it affects other areas, resulting in other health outcomes and shorter life expectancy.”

Mr Carney said Trangie Multipurpose Health Service validated the NSW Health Apology and was committed to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Trangie and to connect more effectively to improve health outcomes.

At the conclusion of the service, attendees enjoyed a delicious morning tea in the garden with residents of Kurrajong Court.

The CEO of the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council, Karen Hubatka, said the NSW Health Apology was an important step forward for the local community.

“It’s great to see NSW Health has come on board, and [this Apology] should help repair relationships between health services and Aboriginal people,” Ms Hubatka said.

Coral Herbert, who was born in the Trangie hospital and now resides in the aged care facility on site, said placing the plaque at the hospital was an important moment for the local community and recognised past wrongs.

“People want to be recognised and plaques track when things happened,” she said.

The NSW Health Apology plaque is located beside the main entry to the Trangie MPHS.

Land Council and NSW Health staff enjoy a coffee after the service.

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

Improving mobile network resilience I’M pleased that a number of communities in the Parkes electorate will benefit from improved mobile network resilience, under round two of the Mobile Network Hardening Program.

Telstra has been awarded funding to upgrade eight remote sites in the Parkes electorate, including Brewarrina SCAX, Euabalong SCAX 1, Gwabegar Exchange, Lake Cargelligo Exchange, Lake Cargelligo Exchange, Lightning Ridge (NTL), Lightning Ridge Exchange BG 1 and Lightning Ridge Exchange BG 1. These upgrades will uplift power reserves to provide an additional 12 hours of service during outages.

Optus has also been funded to upgrade the permanent generators at Binnaway and Narrabri West sites. These upgrades will provide five to seven days of backup power.

planned outages.

Changes to PALM scheme work hours I WELCOME the Labor Government’s backfl ip on ill-advised changes to the Pacific Australian Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme, after The Nationals strongly advocated against the now-defunct minimum hours of work requirement.

Despite warnings from the coalition and industry bodies, last year Labor ploughed ahead with unworkable changes to the PALM Scheme, jeopardising our agricultural industry and our foreign relations. The changes forced employers to guarantee 30 hours per week which is unrealistic in an industry that is dictated by weather and seasonality. These flaws were raised in senate estimates, in questions in writing to the minister for the Pacific and through strong media advocacy which has, thankfully, turned the tide. The government has now backfl ipped but only after seeing a decline of 10.2 per cent in short-term workers and 10.4 per cent for all PALM workers in agriculture.

From July 1, growers will now be able to offer 120 hours of work averaged over four weeks to workers employed under the PALM in the Parkes electorate, which is a sensible decision.

I will continue to fight against red tape that makes things harder for farmers in the Parkes electorate.

Regional, State & National news

Environmental flush to tackle lower Darling blue-green algae THE current infestation of blue-green algae impacting local communities along the lower Darling is being attacked with a huge flush of water from the upper Menindee Lakes.

With the algal blooms having not budged in weeks even as the weather has cooled, river regulators decided last week to open-up 45–50 gigalitres (45,000,000,000 to 50,000,000,000 litres) downstream into the river.

Basin administrators have also worked quickly to fasttrack an innovative trial that will allow access to environmental water to improve connectivity between the northern and southern Murray-Darling Basin which aims to have the added benefit of helping to disperse the bluegreen algae.

The environmental flush will see water moving along a 500 kilometre stretch of the river which is expected to reach the bottom of the system this week.

Thanks to heavy rainfall and fresh inflows from across the northern Basin, up to 225 gigalitres of new, good-quality water is arriving in Menindee Lakes currently and, over the coming months will mean the top lakes remain at full-capacity regardless of the flush.

State Water Minister, Rose Jackson has reassured com-

munities in the Far West that she is listening to their concerns.

“I have been advocating strongly behind the scenes for this environmental flush to do whatever I can to get rid of the blue-green algae and improve water quality for local people,” Ms Jackson said.

“This has not been an easy task, but I am pleased that all the basin states are onboard

and bringing the trial forward will help reset the river and tackle this severe blue green algae problem,” she added.

She claimed that these releases will not have any impact on water allocations for downstream users, because it is for additional water to that protected for extraction.

This trial has been in the works for some time and has been made possible with

the full support of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder.

Water-users have also been reminded that, while town water in Wentworth and Menindee remains safe to drink because it goes through a water treatment plant process, raw river water is not treated and is not safe to drink.

The advice from NSW Health

to the community is not to drink water directly from the river, or to swim, bathe or eat fish in locations where there is a red alert in place.

Farmers in these areas are also being advised to keep their livestock off river water until conditions improve.

“We need to use every tool at our disposal to try and get results and address this challenging blue-green algae event because it appears the cooler weather, which normally puts an end to algal blooms, is not having the effect it previously has had,” Ms Jackson said.

“Understandably, the community is concerned, and rightly so, this is a complex issue that is not easy to fi x but we have to give everything a go,” she concluded.

Importantly, dissolved oxygen levels are currently at safe levels for fish, and there have been no additional fish death events at this stage.

While the NSW Government is hoping that this environmental flush will help tackle the blue-green algae problem, experts say that there is no guaranteed that it will work.

FARMERS are reporting a fresh surge in feral pig numbers across regional NSW, prompting a call to escalate funding to fight the State’s endemic feral pig problem.

NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin said that with the State Budget set to be handed down this month, there was a golden opportunity for funding to get feral pigs under control as numbers again explode across western NSW. “There’s reports of feral pigs weighing wellover 100 kilograms charging through the paddocks, trashing food crops and killing calves and lambs at the drop of a hat,” Mr Martin said.

“These pests are bigger than the people trying to control them – and they are costing landholders many thousands of dollars in lost production and control costs that they simply can’t keep up with,” he added.

Feral pigs are not only a threat to production, but as vectors of livestock infections.

“They’re super-spread-

also be adversely-affected by the switch-over.

“Even some 4G-enabled devices, have aspects that are powered by 3G, but users may not realise until they stop working, so it makes sense to have those checked as well.

“It is vital small, family and farming businesses take action urgently to fi nd-out if they will be affected and if so, upgrade their technology before business-harming disconne disconnection and technology dysfu dysfunction is the fi rst they lea learn about it.”

Mr Billson said small b businesses should contact their telecommunications provider or device manufacturer to confi rm if a device will be affected.

“But beware of sc scams, and only contact mobile providers ustru ing trusted information and links,” he said.

Telstra recently announced that it will delay its 3G network switch off until August 13, 2024.

Optus is planning to switch off its 3G network from September 1, 2024.

TPG Telecom/Vodafone has already switched off its 3G network.

Those on the Telstra or Optus network can text “3” to the number 3498 and will receive a response whether that device is affected.

Feral pigs are not only a threat to production, but as vectors of livestock infections. PHOTO: LOCAL LAND SERVICES ers of disease, and reproduce at a rate that means we need to cull many millions a year to break the breeding cycle,” Mr Martin revealed So, we have a fight on our hands, that we simply can’t face alone,” he argued.

While recent efforts by the Minns Government to support baiting, trapping and aerial shooting of feral pigs had been warmly welcomed by farmers,

Mr Martin warned funding for pig control must be scaled-up significantly in this year’s NSW Budget, to get on top of the problem.

“More than 77,000 pigs have been culled by the State’s feral pig program since October last year,” Mr Martin reported.

“While this has made a dent in the population, we’ve still got millions of pigs ruining production on our prime agricultural land.”

The environmental and productive threat they pose, is now almost beyond effective methods of reduction, he claimed.

“Farmers have been outnumbered, paddocks have been destroyed, and despite our best efforts, no one-man band can get on top of these animals when the numbers are just so wildly out-of-control,” Mr Martin said.

“If we want to fend off these pests for good, we need to see some serious funding for feral pig control in the NSW budget this June – or else we simply don’t stand a chance,” he concluded.

Stop it or cop it: Double demerits over long weekend, and look out for black ice

By SHARON BONTHUYS

ANOTHER long weekend is approaching and with it comes the obligatory double-demerit driving period that occurs during such times.

From 12.01am on Friday, June 7, through to midnight on Monday, June 10, NSW drivers will be subject to double-demerit penalties for driving infringements.

While fi nes may also apply, motorists will be relieved to know the fi nes are not doubled, just the points on driver’s licences.

As Transport for NSW

(TFNSW) says on its website: “Get caught [and] you’ll face double the points, not double the fi ne. You can stop it or cop it.”

Enforced by police, the double-demerits point scheme applies to the following offences: f Speeding f Illegal use of mobile phones f Not wearing a seatbelt f Riding without a helmet If you’re driving interstate during this period, you will need to check if double-demerits also apply in the jurisdiction you will be visiting.

Motorists should also be mindful that Friday, June 7, is a school day in NSW and

so infringements incurred in school zones on that day will also apply.

The National Roads and Motorists’ Association Limited (NRMA) urges motorists to drive with care over the King’s Birthday Long Weekend.

“Please drive safely and take extra care on the roads to protect yourself, your loved ones and all road users,” the organisation says.

With winter officially underway, TFNSW has also taken the opportunity to remind motorists to be aware of the prevalence of black ice and other weather conditions that

come about this time of year.

Winter months, especially June and July, often see an increase in crashes because of ice and snow on the roads, said TFNSW Regional Director West, Alistair Lunn.

“The natural beauty of our landscape is often highlighted during winter months in the Blue Mountains and lower-lying areas including Oberon, Lithgow, Bathurst, Cabonne, and Orange as well as the mid-western region,” Mr Lunn said.

“But it also brings some dangerous driving conditions including black ice, which can form between dusk and dawn

when surface moisture and dew can freeze,” he added.

Mr Lunn said that ambient light can also be poor during winter, and the department recommends that drivers keep their headlights on low beam during the day to improve their visibility to other road users.

“It’s difficult to detect and can remain in shaded or low-lying areas even on fi ne days — all the more reason to drive with caution in our colder months,” Mr Lunn said.

“Motorists should use the vehicle’s fog or headlights when the weather deteriorates,” he concluded.

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Steamed fruit pudding

By NARROMINE CWA HELLO again, lovely readers! Today’s recipe is straight from the Country Women’s Association (CWA) “The Land Cookery Companion 20242025”, which helped guide entrants to the recent cookery competition at the State Conference. This included our very own Kristyne Rybak, who won fi rst place in her category for her incredible Moist Apricot Roll.

This week’s recipe is for a Steamed Fruit Pudding, something guaranteed to warm our tummies on these increasingly-cold days.

Ingredients: 1250g mixed fruit of your choice (but no cherries) 1/2 cup sherry - for soaking the fruit 250g butter 250g brown sugar 5 large eggs 3 cups self-raising flour 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1/4 cup boiling water 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1/2 tsp each of mixed spice, ginger, nutmeg and cloves Pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla essence

Method: Cut larger fruit to the size of sultanas and soak in sherry for at least two to three days. Grease a large pudding basin well with butter, refrigerate, then grease again.

Cream butter and brown sugar and add eggs one at a time. Add alternately the sifted flour, salt, spices, fruit and breadcrumbs.

Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the boiling water and add to the mixture.

Cut a circle of baking paper to fit the bottom of the basin then carefully pack the mixture into the pudding basin. Place another circle of baking paper cut to fit the top of the mixture before sealing and covering the basin with a layer of baking paNarromine CWA ladies enjoying a cuppa and a chat last Saturday, from left, Mary, Brenda, Lyn, Dianne, per and two layers of foil, Kris, Prue, Gabby, and Kerri.

Students support LALC community clean up day for new Cultural Garden

By SHARON BONTHUYS STUDENTS from Narromine High School joined a special community clean up day last Thursday at the Narromine Local Aboriginal Council (LALC) market garden premises.

Students from the School’s National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA) and Clontarf Foundation programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, joined Narromine LALC CEO Kodi Stirling and other community members at the Mitchell Highway site for the project.

Ms Stirling led the work for the new facility, which will be officially opened later this month as the Narromine LALC Cultural Garden.

The work involved the students helping paint poles, plant trees and shrubs, and tidy up the garden beds at the site, before enjoying a barbecue lunch.

“We’re planning a bush tucker garden, so we can open it up to the community,” Ms Stirling explained.

“We’re going to have an opening day soon, and it’s go-

Ms Stirling greatly appreciated the support of the local Clontarf and NASCA programs in encouraging their

students to take part in the community clean up day.

Local Clontarf Foundation leader, Jacob Sutherland, told the Narromine Star that participating in the day was very

important for the Narromine High students as it helped instill a sense of pride in them.

“This [garden] is the first place you’ll see driving into Narromine,” Mr Sutherland

said proudly. “[The students will] be able to tell their family and friends that they’ve painted one of the poles here or helped plant some of the trees,” he added.

Twelve-year-old Sienna was one of the NASCA students participating in the clean up day and said she very much enjoyed the experience.

“I’ve been painting poles – and myself!” she told the Narromine Star.

“It helps me connect to my culture,” she added, indicating it was important to be part of the clean up activities.

Sienna is looking forward to bringing her family to the Cultural Garden when it opens next Thursday, June 13.

Ms Stirling is also looking forward to welcoming the community to the official opening of the Cultural Garden.

“I’m hoping that will be a really good day and that we can get the kids to come and do a Cultural Dance for the opening,” Ms Stirling said.

“We’ll have some stalls on the day and hopefully a food van. It’s good to get the community together,” she concluded.

A GROUP of year five/six students from Trangie Central School enjoyed their Canberra Camp late last month.

The students visited the Australian Mint and learned

about how coins are made, as well as why Canberra is located where it is, and the international competition held to design the city.

They also visited Questacon, the National Science and

Technology Centre.

During the trip, the students also met with our local elected representative, the Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, who represents this district in the

Parliament.

“It’s always a highlight to catch up with school students from my electorate when I’m at Parliament House, and likewise share some insight into my work here in Can-

berra,” Mr Coulton wrote on social media last week.

“The students from Trangie were very interested and engaged. I hope they enjoy the rest of their Canberra excursion,” he added.

Sport CRACKAJACK’S COLUMN

Social bowls brings close results

By JOHN EDWARDS, NARROMINE BOWLING CLUB SOCIAL bowls last Thursday involved 14 players taking to the green with two games of pairs and a game of triples unfolding.

In the pairs, Game One had R. Christoff and Danny defeating Richard and Bruce by 20-13, while Game Two’s fi nal result was Col and Duane defeating Neil and “Sticker” by only 16-15.

In the triples, Cliffy “not

good enough” Harris, French, and “Cranky” put the cleaners through Wilkie, Carl Moore, and Greg Wright by 24-9. This also gave Cranky’s team the win of the day with a 16+15 margin.

Sunday’s Social Bowls involved 12 players battling the elements of a cool morning with two games of triples taking place.

Game One had Billy ‘Go Parra” West, Mitch and “Buttsy” defeating Richard, Neil, and Danny by 16-12. In Game Two,

“Rossy”, Wilkie and Kano, defeated M. Brewis, Carl, and Sticker “can’t get a win” Martin by 30-12.

Winners on the Day were Kano and the team with a 14+18 margin.

We also heard that the Trivia Night for the Narromine Preschool was a great night, with donations a-plenty for the little guys. Keep an eye on the board and watch this column for the next Trivia Night, and come along and support your local organisations.

Don’t miss our usually twice-weekly raffles that help support your club.

Jokes of the week: Two campers are walking through the woods when a huge brown bear suddenly appears in the clearing about 50 feet in front of them.

The bear sees the campers and begins to head toward them.

The fi rst guy drops his backpack, digs out a pair of sneakers, and frantically begins to put them on.

The second guy says, “What are you doing? Sneakers won’t help you outrun that bear.”

“I don’t need to outrun the bear,” the fi rst guy says. “I just need to outrun you.” *** Did you know there was trouble when the guy who invented the Hokey Pokey died?

When they put his right leg into the coffin, he put his right leg out again!

Until next week, good bowling and Crack-a-jack!

LADIES GOLF

GERRIES GOLF

Only five hit off in latest round

Gail White wins the Jean Gordon memorial trophy

By TERRY WILLIS OUR regular correspondent, Norm Lewis, is absent this week, so he asked me to forward the results of last week’s Gerries’ Golf competition.

We had a few blokes off and away last week, only five starters hitting off on the back nine. Of those, Vince Ferrari was fi rst with 21 points, and “Boof” Fraser was runner-up on 19 points.

There was no Nearest-the-Pin last week, but Bob Richardson took the NAGA award with 13 points.

That’s all for this week. As Norm usually signs off, “see you at the 19th”.

By DALE HARDING LAST Wednesday, 18 ladies played a nine-hole par event for the Jean Gordon Memorial Trophy that was donated by Mike Gordon.

This match was followed by lunch at the club, where we also made the presentations for the month of May.

Winner of the trophy was Gail White, who scored +4, with the runner-up Michelle Ashdown on +3, on a count-back from Jenny Ward.

Grade Ball winners were Jenny Ward on +3, Jenny Fitzgerald on +2, Carol McCalman on +2 , Nikki McCutcheon on +1, and Bev Woods on +1.

Nearest-to-the-pins were won

by Jenny Fitzgerald and Gail White, who also got a birdie. The Drawn card was won by Carole Padderson.

Rain on Friday saw a wash-out for Saturday, with nobody very keen to face the wet conditions on display.

We’re hoping for some sunny days to play golf moving forward.

See you on the course!

NARROMINE SOCCER CLUB

Cold start to soccer didn’t deter keen locals!

By KATIE MCCUTCHEON, WE had a cold start to the morning on Saturday with 15 home games of soccer played. We have 157 players registered this year, ranging from under-5 to under-12 years old.

GOLF NOTES

Gathering in the goal are Narromine Soccer Club’s Under-5 Rebels side, George Acheson, David Edwards, Harry Cowley, Austin Davies, Brady White, and Sam Baldwinson, with Coach Del White.

Thankfully, the sun came out from mid-morning!

Our new canteen facilities are fabulous and well supported. It must be the freshly brewed coffee and delicious homemade beef and

gravy rolls! A huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers!

We’d like to thank our volunteers and the USMC and L J Hooker for their ongoing support of our club.

Potter wins topfield Narromine Open event

By NORM LEWIS MAJOR event on the Narromine golfi ng calendar — the Narromine Open — was played last Sunday, attracting a top-notch field of 86 golfers.

Some 18 Western Clubs were also represented at the event with some great golf played on the course.

Doug Potter from Narromine eventually won the tournament with a score of one over par for the 27 holes.

Runner-up on the day was Tony Mann, also of Narromine, who was only one behind the winner on 107.

The club was indeed lucky to get the event over following rain on Friday, however, the course was in top condition following the work carried out by the band of club volunteers.

The major event was divided into three grades to cater for the number of starters. The B-Grade winner was Darren Frail from Brewarrina, from club-mate Donald Shillingsworth. The C-Grade title went to Sinclair Steel of Warren from Diondre Murphy of Brewarrina.

The 27-Hole A-Grade Handicap winner was Blane Darcy from Warren, while another Warren visitor, Kevin Moore, took the

B-Grade Handicap event. There were insufficient players for a C-Grade Handicap division.

In all, it was a great day with good fields, lots of visitors, and some excellent scores.

Club Captain Alex Sambrook expressed his thanks to all those who helped make the day a success.

He paid special tribute to the Narromine Ladies for the excellent catering, both breakfast and lunch, and their work in recording the scores.

He also thanked the barbecue cooks, the bar staff, and all those who helped make the day a success. Special thanks went to those who provided the trophies: Ag ‘n Vet, Repco Dubbo, Narromine Auto Repairs, and Narromine Hardware.

As a lead up to the Open, a Two-Person Ambrose event was held on Saturday. The winners were Matt Sullivan and Jason Ford (Brewarrina) on 62.25 from Shane and Melinda Liddell 64.5.

The Long Drive went to Mark Fraser (Cobar).

Over the King’s Birthday Long Weekend, we have an 18-hole V Par (club trophy) and a 4BBB (Cad Contracts), as well as a Stableford-Shootout, Round Six. That’s all for this week. See you at the 19th!

Wellington and Cobar highlight the week of regional racing

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Cobar, Saturday, June 1.

WAYNE PRISK, the only trainer in the town, led in a winning double including the Cup winner Dancing In The Sky on Saturday at Cobar.

Sharing ownership of Dancing In The Sky and Mr Pointer with Wayne Prisk is another local Butch Eves and their success was very popular with the record breaking crowd at the immaculately prepared Cobar racecourse.

A great supporter of Cobar and other race clubs in the western region, Wayne Prisk started a big team on Saturday and also had placings with Chapel Lane (third in the Cup), Rylstone Rocket, Banjo Shark and Sunmaster.

In the 1700 metres Westrac Cobar Cup, the heavily supported Chapel Lane led the nine horse field to the home turn with Miss Italiana and Dancing In The Sky ready to challenge while Valadyium and Beg Me were closest of the rest.

Miss Italiana (Shannen Llewellyn, $2.60 favourite) gained a rails run to take a narrow lead but was overhauled and beaten a short head by Dancing In The Sky

(Nyssa Burrells, $8) with Chapel Lane (Dylan Stanley, $4.60) in third place.

For the winning jockey Nyssa Burrells it was a triumph after making a comeback from yet another life threatening race fall injury.

Wayne Prisk has always supported Nyssa Burrells and she has often made the long trip from the southern highlands to ride for the Cobar trainer.

Burrells and Prisk had earlier combined with Mr Pointer ($4) the all the way winner of the 1000 metres Sullivans Mining & Hardware and Inland Petroleum-Lou Simon Memorial Benchmark 58 Handicap from stablemate Banjo Shark (Hannah Johnston, $15) and Queensland visitor Za Hidden Dragon (Jessica Brookes, $6).

Dubbo trainer Connie Greig who has won several races including Cups at Cobar over recent years had a winning double on Saturday with Have Mercy and Chookster.

Given a good run behind the three duelling leaders by Georgina McDonnell, Have Mercy ($3.80) shot away to win by almost four lengths from Seeburg (Jessica Brookes, $6.50) and the strong fi nishing Mean Girls (James Rogers, $4.80) in the 1200 metres Nutrien Russell and Silkman Austen Brown Lawyers Vinny

Delaney Memorial Class One Handcap.

Tracking the leader Torrid Affair to the home turn, the strongly supported Chookster (Wendy Peel, $3 favourite) broke clear to win the 1370 metres DJW and Broughton Field Services-Dr Allan Brady Memorial BM 45 Handicap by over four lengths from Well Decorated (Angela Cooper, $17) and Sun Master (Nyssa Burrells, $12).

The in-form apprentice Shannen Llewellyn was aboard the Rodney Robb, Nyngan trained Illusive Star ($5) which led throughout to defeat Smokin Soldier (Chelsea Stanley, $15) and Bupkis (Shayleigh Ingelse, $2.20 fav.) in the 1200 metres SCG Mechanical and Tyre Doctor-Buckman Memorial BM 50 Handicap.

Dubbo trainer Clint Lundholm won the fi nal race at Wellington on Thursday with Pyromania and the fi rst at Cobar with Fields Of Fire.

Headed in the straight by Cashmere Inn, Fields Of Fire ($2 fav.) was the fi rst leg of a winning double for Georgina McDonnell when fighting back to beat Rylstone Rocket (Nyssa Burrells, $5) and Cashmere Inn (Andrew Banks, $3) in the 1000 metres Cobar Steel, Cyend Construction and MSD Mining Solutions – George Booth Memorial Maiden Plate.

Raced at Wellington, Thursday, May 30.

TRAINED at Coonamble by Cec Hodgson for Kate Willis from Collarenebri, Dream Game staged another impressive performance when beating a handy line-up on Thursday at Wellington.

Now the winner of five races, Dream Game was positioned well back on the rails while the favourite Boongarra Girl set a solid pace in the 1400 metres Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club Benchmark 74 Handicap.

Apprentice jockey Coriah Keatings found clear running in the straight and Dream Game ($7) unleashed a strong fi nish to account for Brogans Creek (Mikayla Weir, $6.50) and Borrowed Luck (Ella Drew, $16).

Fresh from a spell, the Brett Robb trained Castlebar Road was quickly away against several noted speedsters in the 900 metres Keirle’s Pharmacy Benchmark 66 Handicap.

Owned by Harry Barclay from Warren and ridden by in form apprentice Shannen Llewellyn, Castlebar Road ($6.50) led throughout to win by two lengths from Minnewater (Mikayla Weir, $16) and Bold Offa (Damon Budler, $10).

First leg of a double for Brett Robb and Shannen Llewellyn was Our Celebrity in the 1400 metres LSS Security And Locksmiths Maiden Plate.

Gaining an inside run halfway down the straight, Our Celebrity sprinted to a convincing win over Divine Belle (Mathew Cahill, $5) and Bling Empire (Patrick Scorse, $5).

Two-year-old fi lly Desirous took on and defeated a field of older horses in the 900 metres Milky Daze Maiden Handicap.

A recent addition to the Ross Lomax stable at Rylstone, Desirous (Mikayla Weir, $6) had a nice run behind the leaders before breaking clear to defeat Sharkhop (Mathew Cahill, $3.60 favourite) and Pattera (Ken Dunbar, $61).

Now trained at Dubbo by Michael Mulholland after coming from stables in Victoria, Magnace (Shayleigh Ingelse, $6) pounced on the leaders and was too good for Autofocus (Mikayla Weir, $2.70 fav.) and Governor General (Coriah Keatings, $15) in the 1400 metres Wellington Sand And Gravel Country Boosted Class One Handicap.

The other winners were the Gayna Williams trained Hot Extraction (Mikayla Weir, $2.60 fav.) and Pyromania (Nick Heywood, $16) trained

by Clint Lundholm.

CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE ROUND SIX

The ‘Roos run rampant in round six!

By BRYSON LUFF WITH the halfway mark of the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League season very much on the horizon, the Coolah ‘Roos have continued their dream return to the Castlereagh League fold.

In their highly-productive comeback to the competition, they currently remain undefeated, after they proved to be far too good for the Baradine Magpies in their game at Baradine last Saturday.

After showing so much promise earlier in the year, the home side really had no answer for the Coolah team that ran in nine tries on their way to a 50-0 win that means they once again sit alone at the top of the competition ladder.

The Coolah Flyers, the ‘Roos League Tag team, also returned to the winners list with a hard-fought 24-18 win over the Magpies to maintain their upward position on the competition table.

At Narromine, the Jets ran out comfortable victors over the Coonamble Bears, 56-12, whilst at Gilgandra, the home side appeared to have the game against the Coonabarabran Unicorns sewn up when they led 2410 with just 15 minutes remaining. However, those
