Triple M brekky hosts broadcast live from Trangie - and they’ll be back

By SHARON BONTHUYS TRANGIE residents joined Triple M Dubbo 93.5’s popular radio hosts Jodi and Matho for breakfast earlier this week as the team broadcast their brekky show live from the doorstep of a local business.

A horde of locals came out to welcome the team to town on Tuesday and several lucky people enjoyed a free coffee as well as some takeaway goodies.

Jodi Howard and Chris “Matho” Mathieson are no strangers to Trangie, having previously visited the town when clothing and homewares store Ewe Two on Dandaloo participated in a “plug for a poster” promotion earlier this year.

They liked it so much they returned this week to conduct their weekly live broadcast from the store’s doorstep.

Anyone for tennis?

Help needed to re-start club in Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS LOCAL tennis enthusiasts are working hard to get the Narromine Tennis Club back up and running.

The club will hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) next Monday night in Narromine to install a new committee, which will hopefully help to revitalise the club which has been going for over 100 years.

The local courts have received a much-needed makeover through the dedicated efforts of the Narromine Shire Council’s transformational Cale Oval Sporting Precinct project, and are already hosting weekly games on Monday and Wednesday nights.

Waning interest in recent years and the local facilities have hindered the club’s growth, according to long-standing treasurer Peter Cale.

He hopes this will change now the club has brand new courts and a top-class new clubhouse.

“Our facilities have never been better. Four fantastic courts, all with nets, all the lights work and the clubhouse is sensational,” Mr Cale said.

The newly-constructed clubhouse has replaced the old building adjacent to it, which has been vandalised

Mr Cale has been the club’s treasurer for 30 years, as well

as president and secretary for the last several years, and is looking to hand over the reins at the AGM.

“It’ll be nice to get some new enthusiasm for the sport.

It’s an easy sport to play,” Mr Cale said.

It has been pleasing to see families come down for a hit on Wednesday nights, he added.

The construction of the new clubhouse and court refurbishment were completed as part of the wider sporting precinct upgrade project which also included the construction of the Bob Weir Grandstand, new fencing, netball courts, spectator hill, landscaping and car parking at Cale Oval.

Tennis mum Keiley Noble, whose young daughter Ruby plays tennis in Dubbo, encourages the community to get on board and help re-build the Narromine Tennis Club.

“We have a coaching service interested in coming once a week for both kids and adults.

“We would love to re-establish social and competitive competitions, but without support we won’t be able to proceed,” she said.

“Please consider coming along [to the AGM] and nominating for a position if you would like to see this sport make a comeback within our community.”

Flu cases on the rise, with big jump in 2024

By HARRIET GILMORE REPORTED cases of “the Flu” — the infectious viral disease, influenza — are on the rise with a big jump in incidence last month, compared to the same time last year.

In the four weeks to Tuesday, April 23, almost 5000 reports were diagnosed in NSW, which is up 16 per cent compared to the same period in 2023.

With an increase in cases, and the cooler months fast approaching, the community is being urged to protect themselves against serious illness by booking in for their influenza vaccine ahead of the 2024 flu season.

NSW hospitals received 480 influenza-like illness admissions between the January 6 and April 14 this year, almost double last year’s number. In the past week, influenza cases have increased again, by 24 percent.

RFDS Executive General Manager Health and Clinic Services and Chief Medical Officer, Dr Shannon Nott, said the 2024 influenza season has started early, so the organisation is encouraging people to get vaccinated to protect themselves.

“Historically, the flu season has peaked around August but, in the last two years, we have seen the cases peak in June,” Dr Nott said. “ It also takes approximately 10 days for the body to develop the antibodies that provide protection, so it is important to get vaccinated as early as possible,” he added.

For those who need them, Warren RFDS Medical Centre and also the Warren Pharmacy, have flu immunisation shots available now.

“You don’t need to be an existing patient at the (Warren RFDS) clinic to receive a flu vaccination,” Dr Nott said.

NSW Health recommends everyone aged six months and older gets an annual flu jab, to protect themselves and those around them, and for some, the jab is completely free.

Vulnerable people who are considered more susceptible to developing serious illnesses from influenza are eligible for a free flu shot.

Those at risk and eligible for the free vaccination include children aged six months and under five, people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal people six months and over, pregnant women, or those with a serious Central West Slopes and Plains area: Cloudy.

Very high chance of rain. The chance of a thunderstorm on the plains. Heavy falls possible on the plains. Winds easterly 15 to 20 km/h.

health condition, such as diabetes, cancer, immune disorders, obesity, severe asthma, kidney, heart, lung, or liver disease.

Protecting young children is also incredibly important, with recent statistics showing not only an increase in flu cases, but also RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) and pneumonia, NSW Health reported.

“Last year, we saw an increase in ED (Emergency Department) presentations among young children, with some being admitted to intensive care with life-threatening complications from the flu,” NSW Health Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant said.

cine now.”

She said that this is a very quick and easy process only requiring one to book-in with their local doctor or pharmacist who can also administer the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time, if recommended.

“This simple act, can help you and your family stay healthy this winter,” Dr Chant said.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, also recommends keeping up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccine.

Adults aged 75 years and over, or adults who are severely immuno-compromised, should consider a COVID-19 vaccine every six months, while all other adults and children aged from five to 18 years with severe immuno-compromise, should consider a COVID shot every 12 months.

Street stall supports Wanted: hospital auxiliary Future doctors to study locally in Dubbo Rural Health Matters

THE University of Sydney’s School of Rural Health in Dubbo is now accepting applications for the fourth intake of the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program, and strongly encourages local applicants to apply.

The program will offer 24 fi rst-year places in 2025, with a preference for rural and Indigenous students. An information webinar was held earlier this week for prospective students to learn more about the program.

Students in the Dubbo Stream receive the same world-class medical education as their peers in Sydney, with a stronger focus on rural and Indigenous health and the opportunity to complete placements in rural and remote towns throughout Western and Far West NSW. The Dubbo Stream is delivered in stateof-the-art facilities at the School of Rural Health, which features two collaborative learning studios, an anatomy lab, and a sixsuite simulation centre. Students utilise the latest medical education technologies such as 3D-modelling and virtual or augmented reality, and gain clinical experience at Dubbo Hospital.

Clinical School Head, Professor Catherine Hawke, is strongly-encouraging regional students to apply to the program.

“We would be delighted to see more students from our region join us, our students enjoy the advantages of smaller class sizes, more personal interactions with clinicians and tutors, while being supported by our local health and medical community,” Professor Hawke said.

“These factors combine to create a rich, engaging educational experience, equipping them to become the next generation of rural doctors,” she concluded.

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Easy spinach pie

By NARROMINE CWA SOME 95 years ago, “Popeye, the Sailor Man” made his fi rst appearance in an American comic strip created by EC Segar.

The beloved rough-diamond attributed his, at times, super-human strength to the powers and properties of the humble spinach plant, which he would consume by the tin-load in times of crisis to protect his beloved, Olive Oyl. Whether you believed Popeye or not on this score, spinach contains a raft of vitamins including C, E, iron, potassium and magnesium. Who knows, it might just have worked for Popeye!

Many of the items for sale were donated by supporters of the auxiliary, which raises funds to support the local Narromine Health Service, including the Hospital and community health services.

The stall raised about $1,000, said auxiliary treasurer, Julie Davis, So we’re delighted to bring to you today a quick and simple recipe using this super-food: Easy Spinach Pie. However, we need to say this is an “approximate” recipe. The quantities aren't critical. Enjoy making this, and let us know what you think.

Shred spinach leaves into one-centimetre strips. Sprinkle with a little salt. Mix with onion and leave for an hour or so if possible. Brush a large tin with butter (about 25 x 35cm).

To layer with filo pastry, you can brush every second layer of pastry with butter. Line the base and sides with 6-8 layers of this. Fill with layers of spinach and the cheeses.

Evenly pour the beaten eggs over the spinach. Neatly cover with another 6-8 layers of pastry brushed with butter. Brush the top layer with butter.

Bake about 45 mins in an oven at about 190-200 degrees Celsius.

Loads of entries for inaugural Women’s Shed art and craft show

By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE inaugural arts and crafts show staged by the Narromine Women’s Shed last week has been declared a resounding success, with more than 140 entries across eight categories.

Art-and-crafters from Narromine, Gilgandra, and Dubbo all entered their original work into the show, Women’s Shed spokesperson Leona Lodding revealed.

Narromine resident and Women’s Shed member Bette Thatcher was ultimately declared the event’s “Grand Champion” for her extraordinarily detailed tiny saddle and bridle crafted to fit a toy horse.

The Narromine Star was also present for part of the adjudication last Thursday by independent guest judges, Maria Harrison and Sandra Ward from Peak Hill Leisure Centre Arts and Craft.

The judges said they were very impressed with the quality and variety of entries in the show, which included the categories of knitting, crochet, “other” handicrafts, scrap-booking, card-making, flower arrangements, “open” art and craft, and recycled art and craft.

“It’s been very hard to choose the winners,” Ms Ward said.

Ms Harrison agreed, adding “There’s a really lovely mixture of items across the classes, making it very difficult indeed.”

Ms Lodding herself walked away with champion awards in the knitting, crochet, card-making and recycling categories, while Ms Thatcher was declared Champion of the ‘open’, ‘other’ handicrafts and flower arrangement categories.

Averial Cox was declared champion of the scrap-booking category.

All of the entries in the arts and craft show were on display in the Wesley Chapel last Friday for the public to view, with a steady stream of people visiting the show through the day, Ms Lodding said.

“We would really like to thank our independent judges, our competitors and supporters for helping make this show possible,” Ms Lodding added.

The success of the inaugural art and craft show means it is likely to return in 2025. The Women’s Shed members are already talking about what the future may hold for the competition, which is one of the few independently organised events for art-and-crafters outside the regional agricultural shows.

Maria Harrison and Sandra Ward complete their judging duties.

We have some very crafty people in the region!

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, May 9, 2024

A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH We can make a difference WE have seen over the last couple of weeks women marching, demanding that something be done to end domestic violence.

One of the things they say needs changing is men’s attitude to women. I believe one of the ways to change this would be if more men believed in and

followed the example set

by Jesus Christ.

If we read the Scriptures, we see how Jesus treated women. Jesus went against the ‘norm’. There are many examples, but I will only mention a few.

The first is the woman at the well (John 4). She is a Samaritan woman who has been married five times and is now living with a man who is not her husband.

She is a female in a society where women are both demeaned and disregarded, belonging to a race traditionally despised by Jews, and living in shame as a social outcast. Yet, despite all this, Jesus talks to her respectfully, befriends her, and changes her life.

The second example is the story of the woman healed

from her bleeding disorder (Mark 5:25-34). According to Jewish law, she was unclean. For over a decade, she couldn’t go out in public without fi rst declaring her uncleanness. Anyone or anything that touched her also became unclean.

So, when she reached out to Jesus and touched Him, according to the law at the time, Jesus could have rightly said, “get away, you’re unclean.”

But He didn’t. Instead, He said, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

For twelve years she had been “unclean’, but Jesus healed her and called her a daughter of God. Next, we have the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:3842). Jesus arrives at Mary and Martha’s home with his disci-

ples and begins teaching them.

Martha does what a ‘normal’ woman at that time would have done, she starts making dinner. But Mary sits at Jesus’s feet listening to what he is teaching. For us today that is quite acceptable but in Jesus’ time it was a different matter.

Men were considered worthy of learning, women were not. When Jesus said Mary had chosen the right thing by sitting at His feet and absorbing his teachings, He respected her, he was ditching the doctrine that women were to remain unschooled.

Jesus changed the culture in His day and if we want to change the culture in our day, we could do a lot worse than by putting our trust in Jesus and following His example.

But it has to be more than

just trying to do it Jesus’s way.

We have to repent from our way of life and ask Jesus to forgive us and change us from within. Jesus says: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”

This is the fi rst and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” Matthew 22:37-39.

The more men and women who commit their lives to Jesus and fi nd the love and peace that comes from knowing Christ, we can love our neighbours as ourselves, we can give women the respect they deserve, and we can change our society for the better.

family favourite to something unique.

This week, I would like to introduce something I grew up with when I lived in the Northern Territory: salty plums.

People tend to have a love-hate relationship with these little red nuggets, and the acquired taste is certainly not for the faint hearted.

Salty plums are believed to have originated from China, and in Japan are known as ‘umeboshi’.

According to the Salty Plum Shop website: “historically, salty plums are usually made from dried prunes, cured with a sugary, salt liq-

uorice mixture.”

The salty plum is said to have health properties that range from dealing with nausea to stimulating appetite, among other things.

I suggest that once you eat the flesh off the seed, continue to suck on the seed to replenish lost nutrients and salts, especially as you perspire.

Many people in the Territory, where there is high-humidity for at least half of the year, are believed to use salty plums to keep-up their hydration levels, as eating them encourages people to drink more water.

But for me, it is all about the taste, the nostalgia, and the uniqueness of the plum. At the deli, we love giving people

a taste of these plums and are never offended if they have to throw them out at fi rst taste.

My Mum maintains you need to taste something new at least twice to appreciate it. Once to get over the new taste sensation, and the second time, to see if you actually don’t like it and then a third to get the true experience.

Interestingly, I only ever knew about the existence of the red plum, but over the past 40-odd years, the range has increased to salty, sweet black salty, spicy, and seedless plums.

We source our salty plums from Darwin from the original and only salty plum suppliers in Australia. Our suppliers are

very excited that their product is being shared by people in the central west of NSW. Drop in for a taste of the salty plum range!

Discounted eID tags for sheep, goats, but more money needed

By SHARON BONTHUYS A NEW biosecurity scheme to provide discounted electronic identification (eID) tags to sheep and goat farmers in NSW will receive a boost, following a commitment by the NSW government to subsidise the cost of the tags for a period of time.

NSW Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty announced last week the discount program will support the state’s sheep and goat producers by discounting eID tags for lambs and kids that are born in 2025. The eID tags will cost primary producers $1 each while the discount program operates.

NSW Farmers (NSWF) welcomed the move, but said ongoing government support is needed through the transition period.

“It is the governments who

mandated this traceability system, and so they must have plans to properly support producers with transitioning to the required systems,” said NSWF president, Xavier Martin.

“We have made it very clear that we will only continue to support these traceability reforms if tag costs are reduced to economically viable levels, and we are pleased to hear the State Government has stepped up to the plate and listened to our policies on this,” he added.

While there is further detail in this scheme that needs to be unpacked, he said that the recent announcement is “a step forward in support for sheep and goat producers in NSW”.

With the discount, the NSW Government has now increased its commitment to $41 million to implement mandatory sheep and goat eID from January 1 next year.

The discount will assist farmers with the transition and support the implementation of this key industry traceability reform, aimed at reducing the duration and industry impact of emergency animal disease or residual incident.

The eID system will mean NSW producers will continue to lead the world in biosecurity safety and maintain their export premiums, the Government believes.

This follows the successful NSW Sheep and Goat eID Rebate Scheme, which provided funding to eligible primary producers, stock and station agents, saleyards and processors to help offset the cost of purchase and installation of eID-related equipment.

Ms Moriarty believes the discount program addresses the needs of the industry.

“The NSW Government has invested more than any

other jurisdiction in Australia to support the move to eID for sheep and farmed goats,” she said.

“We continue to work with industry through the NSW Sheep and Goat Traceability Reference Group, providing a voice across the supply chain in the transition to mandatory eID.” Mr Martin has urged both state and federal governments to continue to explore options to achieve national traceability without primary producers bearing excessive costs.

“In 2022, NSW Farmers determined nine principles required for this scheme to be effective, and today’s announcement is the latest of our principles to be actioned by the government following our ongoing advocacy,” Mr Martin said.

“It’s time now for governments to step up once

again and use all the options available to them to ensure farmers can successfully transition through these traceability reforms and keep our high-quality produce available on tables both in Australia and overseas.”

This, he said,requires more money to lift the burden of funding the new scheme off hard-hit producers.

“This means more funding for tags is required in the forthcoming state and federal budgets, as well as the incorporation of tag-free pathways for animals moving directly from their property of birth to slaughter,” Mr Martin said.

“We’re calling for longevity, for continuity and for support — and while this funding is a start, it must not be the end,” he concluded.

Free desexing Triple M brekky hosts broadcast live from Trangie - and they’ll be back program visit fully booked out

By SHARON BONTHUYS WITHIN days of the announcement of the planned visit by the Animal Welfare League’s (AWL) Animal Care Truck to Narromine Shire later this month to carry out free desexing of eligible dogs and cats, all appointments were fully booked.

The trip to Narromine has been funded by a NSW Government grant to help communities with basic veterinary services throughout rural NSW, an AWL spokesperson said.

Desexing can generally range from $200– $500 if undertaken in a private veterinary practice. While the AWL desexing program later this month in Narromine is free, a $25 administration fee is payable per animal to the AWL. Also known as speying (females) or neutering (males), desexing is one of the most effective ways to help control the number of unwanted pregnancies in domestic pet populations.

Desexing is also considered to improve the overall general health of domestic pets, reduce behavioural problems including aggression and urine-marking, and makes pets less likely to roam, according to the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).

The AWL NSW rehomes more than 3000 domestic pets annually, while the RSPCA in Australia receives more than over 100,000 domestic pets per year, many of which are the result of unplanned breeding.

Animal shelters across NSW are often left to deal with the fallout of unplanned breeding, as heavily-pregnant animals and or full litters are surrendered to animal shelters.

As the Narromine Star reported last week, Narromine Shire Council’s animal shelter was forced to close temporarily following a canine parvovirus outbreak linked to a litter of recently-surrendered puppies.

Narromine Council can provide further information on adopting surrendered animals from its animal shelter.

From page 1 Matho told the Narromine Star the team has enjoyed visiting small country towns over the last six months with their live broadcast roadshow.

“We know they don’t get this type of thing,” he explained.

“We had a lovely time out here [with the poster promotion] and knew we’d defi nitely be back to Trangie,” he added.

The roadshow takes them to a new small town every Tuesday, Jodi said.

Supported by their “roadie”, Britney Buckland, the team left Dubbo at 4.00am to travel to Trangie for the live broadcast.

The warm welcome from Trangie locals was certainly appreciated by the team.

“Everyone’s been so warm and welcoming here, and it’s been so

busy today,” Jodi said.

Matho said locals rocked up from 5.00 am to say hello and watch the broadcast.

The fi rst 20 people received a free coffee from neighbouring Cafe 2823, courtesy of Triple M. Jodi and Matho will be back in the shire next week to conduct Tuesday’s live broadcast from a yet-tobe-determined location in Dandaloo Street, Narromine.

Rural Health Matters

New head for region’s Western Primary Health Network WESTERN NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) has a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), with Bathurst-based Bradley Porter starting in the role in late May. The Western Health Alliance Limited (WHAL), trading as WNSW PHN, is one of 31 Primary Health Networks across Australia, established to support frontline health services and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of primary health care.

Mr Porter’s appointment comes as the WHAL Board works closely with the WNSW PHN executive leadership team to strengthen impact and outcomes aligned with strategic priorities for western and far-west NSW regional communities.

WHAL Board Chair, Dr Robin Williams, welcomed

Mr Porter’s appointment and the opportunity for his compassionate and collaborative leadership approach to enhance health outcomes for regional communities.

“Brad is deeply committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people,” Dr Williams said.

“He joins us with significant healthcare leadership experience from NSW Ambulance, where he has worked as Western Control Zone Manager and Associate Director, Clinical Operations, and formerly, as Chief Operating Officer at WNSW PHN during 2023,” he added.

He said that Mr Porter was also an active member of the local community and he looked forward to working with him as he leads WNSW PHN’s focus on improving health outcomes for all in the community.

EARLIER this year, Narromine High students enrolled in the NASCA program were given the opportunity to participate in a pathways workshop at Geoff Richards Panel Beating in Dubbo.

Year 10 student, Shayla Schneider, completed the workshop and afterwards expressed an interest in potentially pursuing a career in the industry.

Shayla was able to complete work experience with the team at Geoff Richards over the school holidays, where she enjoyed get-

ting to learn and experience work as a young female in a male-dominated industry.

Well done, Shayla, and thank you to everyone at Geoff Richards Panel Beating for helping our students gain such valuable skills and experience.

Junior Jets set to upskill with new sports grant NARROMINE Junior Jets are set for a training and development boost, following the Narromine Junior District Rugby League’s success in recently winning a sporting grant.

Their grant is one of 10 projects in the Dubbo Electorate and 579 across the State to receive sporting funds for new equipment, programs and facilities under the Local Sport Grant Program.

The Narromine club will receive $3,493 for Junior Jets’ development involving upskilling new and existing players and coaches.

Other sporting codes to be funded by the program in the electorate include

gymnastics, cricket, golf, netball, water polo, cycling, swimming, soccer, and tennis.

Scoreboards were the big-ticket items funded in the electorate under the program, with the highest grants ($7,916 and $9,299) going to water polo in Dubbo and cricket in Wellington.

Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said the $4.4 million program provides vital funds for community sport in NSW. “This year we have doubled the funding for individual projects, meaning grassroots community sports clubs and associations can provide

more programs and equipment to support their participants,” Minister Kamper said.

“With the critical role sport plays in keeping people healthy, active and socially connected, this funding is vital to community health, wellbeing and sense of identity,” he concluded.

Upper House representative Stephen Lawrence MLC said the funding will help clubs and their volunteers deliver more local sport and recreation.

“I congratulate the funding recipients and look forward to the amazing projects they will deliver,” Mr Lawrence said.

AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by D DUGALD ERS, SAUNDERS, ember State Member bo for Dubbo THE NSW Liberals and Nationals will seek to introduce the Bail Amendment (Serious Personal Violence and Electronic Monitoring) Bill 2024, when Parliament resumes this week.

The legislation is designed to amend the Bail Act 2013 to implement our proposals to strengthen bail laws. These include expanding the use of electronic monitoring devices for bail on serious domestic violence charges, expanding the grounds for staying the granting of bail for serious domestic violence charges, and removing the power for registrars to determine bail for serious personal violence charges, where bail is opposed, given the widespread audio-visual capacity

across our courthouses enabling magistrates to make orders from centralised locations, if necessary.

A bipartisan approach is needed to protect women no matter where they are from, with half of the 27 domestic violence-related deaths this year occurring in regional parts of Australia.

Those living in the regions are particularly hurting after the tragic death of Molly Ticehurst. We know it can be harder for women to leave abusive relationships when they live in the country, because they often have nowhere else to go.

The NSW Nationals will invite the Government and the crossbench to act and to support our proposals. We wish to be constructive — we are more than willing to discuss and consider any amendments they suggest to our legislation and their own proposals.

Sadly, this is the fi nal round of the Rebuilding Regional Communities stream to be funded by the Commonwealth, as there has been no commitment from the Labor Government to allocate further funding. I’m hopeful that the Government will commit to supporting future grant rounds in the upcoming Federal Budget.

Applications for the Remote Airstrip Upgrade Program closed in December last year.

This funding is so important for our remote communities, who rely on safe, operational aerodromes for the delivery of goods and servic-

Councils are now faced with uncertainty as they try to complete budgets. Further delays by the Labor Government, could impact their ability to have upgrades completed by the April 2026 deadline.

Wet but also welcoming: Emergency Services Day

By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST Saturday, almost all of Narromine’s emergency services braved the, at times, bucketing rain to showcase their services to the community at the annual Emergency Services Day. The day was moved indoors at the Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre, with stalls promoting the work of the Narromine Rural Fire Service, VRA (Volunteer Rescue), State Emergency Service, Police, and NSW Health. Fire and Rescue NSW did not attend.

The fitness centre carpark was full of emergency service vehicles, including a rescue boat on a trailer.

Families took the opportunity to bring their children down to meet and talk to our community’s fi rst responders, and check out their awesome wheels. Face painting and children’s activities were also available, and the good folk from Narromine Rotary Club kept everyone fed.

Coinciding with the universally-celebrated (but unofficial and informal) Star Wars Day, observed on May the Fourth, there were indeed a few light-saber battles inside the fitness centre between local kids.

In Brief

Around the Traps…

HERE we are once again with those little newsgrabs from around the shire and beyond! f The Peak Hill Aboriginal Medical Service has started a weekly Aboriginal health outreach clinic in Narromine, working with the awesome Dr Andy and Dr Marina. Bookings essential. f Narromine Shire Council is currently updating the records for all dogs on the NSW Companion Animal Register. Some residents may receive requests from council to update their dog’s ownership details on this register. f Joblink Plus has a range of training opportunities coming up including formal studies in community services, cookery and commercial cookery, as well as a coding and gaming workshop to be held in Dubbo.

f Free women’s health clinics will be held in the shire as follows: at the Trangie doctor’s surgery in June, September and November, and in Narromine in June, July, September, October and November.

Bookings essential. f Did you know that playgroups take place in Narromine on Mondays and in Trangie on Thursdays?

Communities for Children can tell you more. f Australian Government farm business lender Regional Investment Corporation will host a free online webinar later this month for farmers, financial advisers, business planners and rural counsellors. f Parents Under Pressure support group meets regularly in Narromine during term time. Contact Communities for Children. f There’s a free Wungun-

ja Kids Connecting to Community program in Trangie on Tuesday afternoons over May and June. Contact the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council or Communities for Children. f Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre users in Narromine will be impacted as council replaces the external roof and upgrades the 24/7 member access system this month. Works are scheduled to be completed by the end of May 2024, weather permitting. f The federal government has announced it will wipe $3 billion from higher education student debt. This will include capping how student loans to pay tuition fees are indexed so students pay less over the life of their loans, and providing “HELP loan credits” to relieve some of the cost that came with last year’s inflation spike.

f Tomorrow is ‘Do It For Dolly Day’. Her parents Tick and Kate Everett established the anti-bullying organisation Dolly’s Dream in their 14-year-old daughter’s memory to help change the culture of bullying by addressing the impact of bullying, anxiety, depression, and youth suicide through awareness, education and direct support to young people and families. Wear blue on May 10 and support local activities in support of Dolly’s Dream. f The Australian Remote Health Awards, run by the Council of Remote Area Nurses of Australia (CRANAplus), aims to raise awareness of the advanced skill set required when working in areas with fewer resources, greater distances, and less support than urban Australia. Visit CRANAplus to nominate a potential award winner.

f The NSW Government pilot project to fast-track an mRNA vaccine for border disease virus (BDV) has been successfully manufactured for the first time in NSW. The learnings from this successful pilot project are now being applied to the development of vaccines for lumpy skin disease and foot-and-mouth disease, from which Australia remains free. f Telstra has announced it will extend its 3G network closure date by two months to 31 August 2024, to give people more time to upgrade their devices. The company says despite “communicating the closure of the network for nearly five years, [it understands] there are a range of reasons why some people haven’t moved on.”

Effective text choices, included an appropriate level of challenge for works that were of high quality and also of high interest. If they weren’t already, students became members of the Library.

Trangie student off to Sydney for da Vinci decathlon state final

By SHARON BONTHUYS IT’S called a decathlon, but it’s about the prowess of your intellect, not your athleticism, that is being tested…

Trangie student, Jim Aveyard, and his Year Six teammates at the Central West Leadership Academy in Dubbo, blitzed the competition at a regional academic competition late last term, and will now be off to Sydney in a few weeks to tackle the state fi nals.

Jim’s team was one of two from the prestigious Dubbo private college that placed fi rst in the Central West Region da Vinci Decathlon event in Bathurst from April 8-10.

The School’s Year Eight team also placed fi rst in the region, while the Year 10 team picked up third.

The Year Six and Year Eight teams will now contest the state fi nals at Knox Grammar School in Sydney from May 14-16.

Students compete in teams of eight across the disciplines of engineering, mathematics and chess, code-breaking, art and poetry, science,

English, ideation, creative producers, cartography, and general knowledge.

What began as a local competition for Australian public and private schools is now a state, national, and international event for students from Years FIve to 11.

The Central West Leadership Academy competed against schools including Kinross-Wolaroi, Scots All Saints, Dubbo Public School, St John’s College, and others in the regional qualifying competition.

The School’s success making it to the state fi nals of the da

Vinci Decathlon this year, continues a proud tradition that started in 2019 with the Academy being the only school west of the Blue Mountains to have teams make it into the top 10 at the state level.

In 2019, the Academy’s Year Seven team placed eighth and Year Nine placed second. In 2021, the Year Eight placed tenth, and in 2023 the Year 11 team placed fourth in the state.

Academy Principal Mandi Randell is very proud of the students’ accomplishments and the school’s history in the competition.

“The Academy loves to challenge our students to push themselves to embrace new challenges,” Ms Randell said..

“These results show that our students hold a broad range of skills and have excellent teamwork and communication,” she added.

“We could not be prouder of our students for their hard work and success, and we look forward to representing Dubbo at the state fi nals,” Ms Randell said.

“We will show the state that academic excellence is in Dubbo!”

Sport CHRISTIE & HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

Jets overcome Panthers in clash at Narromine

By BRYSON LUFF BEING losers in the opening round of the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition the previous week, the Gilgandra Panthers and the Narromine Jets were both out to show improvement in their clash at Narromine’s Cale Oval last Saturday.

Played under grey skies and intermittent light showers, the closeness on the scoreboard gave supporters from both teams plenty of hope that their team would emerge victorious.

On the back of a barn-storming run by Corey Redman the Jets opened the scoring in just the third minute when their lock, Tylah Beer, forced his way over from close range.

The failed conversion attempt from very close range set the tone for what was to be an abysmal day for the kickers.

The Panthers replied in the ninth minute when a good backline movement saw their winger, Michael Louie, touch-down outwide to lock the scores up at four-all.

The Jet’s rangy centre, Washie Itoya, then edged his side ahead not long after when he split the Gilgandra defence some 10 metres inside his own half and then outpaced the cover to plant the ball down in the north-western corner.

It didn’t take the Panthers long to respond, when some nice ball work saw their winger, Chris Fuller score for an eight-all scoreboard.

The game ebbed-and-flowed up and down the field until, with just three minutes remaining in the fi rst half, the trend towards the outside backs scoring continued, with Jet’s winger Epeli Draunidalo crossing for a four-pointer out wide, followed not long after by the Panther’s centre, Wade Peachey, doing likewise.

With a very rare conversion attempt raising the flags, the visitors went to the sheds as 14-12 leaders.

They went further ahead after the break, when Craig Simpson forced his way over from dummy half early in the second stanza, and the Panthers seemed to have all the momentum, but that all shifted dramatically, when the Jet’s five-eighth, Doug Potter, latched on to an intercept some 15 metres out from his own line and was able to go the distance to score at the other end of the field.

From that point on, the home-side gradually gained control in what was to become a very disrupted second half, with penalties aplenty being given away by both sides.

Following Potter’s heroics, the Jets scored three tries, two converted, to take the score out to 32-18, with a late try to Gilgandra’s Jarrod Fuller completing the scoreboard activity for the day at 32-22.

Earlier in the day, a slick Narromine side were too strong for the Pink Panthers in the League Tag, winning 52-0.

This weekend, the Jets’ fi rst grade will play the Coonamble Bears at Coonamble, whilst the League Tag and Youth League sides will be playing the Binnaway Bombshells at The Crater, with those games kicking-off at 10am.

CRACKAJACK’S COLUMN

Narromine fall to West Dubbo in the pennants

By JOHN EDWARDS ON a wet Saturday in Dubbo, Narromine took on West Dubbo in the second-last Pennants game for the season.

With the rainy conditions and the heavy green, we found it hard to adjust and were comprehensively beaten 83-45, a 10-0 loss. This ended any chance of Narromine going any further in the Pennant contest for this year.

With Dubbo City beating Parkes Railway on Saturday, this means they win the section and go further, albeit with one game to go.

Our last game involves us taking-on Parkes Railway next weekend at home, and the boys are looking for a big fi nish to this year’s Pennant’s season.

Social bowls last Thursday delivered two games of pairs. “Homo” and Neil defeated Dave and Danny by 26-13, and “Cranky” and “Wilkie” defeated Duane and Lionel by 27-20.

Sunday social bowls also welcomed the 10 players who turned up

to do battle. Wilkie, Neil, and Dave, defeated “Westy”, Bruce P, and “Cranky” by 21-11 in a game of triples. Ray and Duane also defeated Mitch and Danny by 21-7 in a game of pairs.

Get down to the club for our famous raffles twice a week, and with Mother’s Day approaching, president Kev, the Board of Directors and staff would like to wish all mothers a very Happy Mother’s Day for next Sunday, and hope you have a great day.

A bit of humour for the week:..

A Texan fl ies into Sydney, gets in a taxi and asks to go to his hotel in Manly, so they have to go through the city and across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

As they’re driving towards the city, the Texan sees the Sydney tower and asks the taxi driver, “What’s that?”

Taxi driver says, “Mate, that’s Sydney Tower.”

GERRIES GOLF

Rain keeps numbers low

By NORM LEWIS A SMALL field of eight golfers contested the weekly Gerries Competition. No doubt the threat of rain kept the numbers down.

The winner on the day was Col Shepherdson, with a top score of 24 points, with Mal Fraser only one point behind on 23 points.

The Nearest-the-Pin was eventually won by Phil White, who emptied the kitty winning seven golf balls! There was a battle for the NAGA between Vince Ferrari and Brian Masling on 17 points, with the count-back declaring “Maso” the winner. In all, a very good afternoon’s golf.

A reminder that the Winter Comp for Gerries is on each Wednesday, hitting off late in the afternoon.

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

Texan asks, “How long did it take to build it?”

Driver says, “Dunno, I think about a year.”

Texan says, “Back home in Texas, I own a construction company and my boys could’ve done that job in six months, tops!”

The driver nods, impressed. A bit later the Texan sees the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

“Hey, fella, what’s that?”

Driver says, “Sydney Harbour Bridge, mate!”

“How long did they take to build that?”

“I think it took about two years!”

Texan says, “My boys could’ve knocked that up in under a year, maximum!”

As they’re driving onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Texan looks out his window and sees the Sydney Opera House. He asks the Driver. “Hey, fella, what’s that white building down there?”

Driver says, “I dunno know, mate, but it wasn’t there this morning!”

Until next week —– good bowling, and Crack-a-jack.

GOLF NOTES

Bad weather cancels all comp events

By NORM LEWIS HEAVY rain at the weekend caused the cancellation of the club’s Saturday event and also the Cobar Open which a number of players from Narromine had intended to attend.

The rain here in Narromine, however, will help maintain the golf course for the upcoming Club Championships, which are scheduled to be played at the end of next week.

Last weekend, the only round played was the Individual Stableford event which attracted a field of 22 players. The winner was Dan Coen with an excellent score of 40 points. Dan also won the Long Drive.

Runner-up was the consistent Steve Squires, with a score of 34 points, and the Nearest-the-Pin on the 10th went to Tony Harding. The drawn Jackpot was not won.

Last week, the NSWGA Western Rep Gary Begg conducted

Hope to see you on the course!

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES DUBBO trainer Connie Greig and Muswellbrook based jockey Leandro Ribeiro won yet another feature race when Valadyium on Saturday took out the 1700 metres Dunk Insurance Boorowa Picnic Cup. Namarari which led when runner up to Avalicious with Valadyium a length away third in the Tomingley Picnic Cup last week, was again the

Western Racing Report leader at Boorowa.

Finishing well from midfield, Valadyium ($5) won by a length from Namarari (Zara Lewis, $7) with Ravalawa (Izzy Neale, $16) over two lengths away third.

Valadyium, a seven-year-old brown mare, has now won 12 races and been placed 17 times from 76 starts.

First leg of a winning double for Connie Greig and Leandro Ribeiro was the very consistent Better Judgement in the 1000 metres Nutrien and Bendigo Community Bank Class Two Trophy Handicap.

A three-times winner and

placed six times over the last nine starts, Better Judgement ($3.50) carried the 71.5kg top weight and after racing outside the leader won by over three lengths from Uprise (Sebastian Galea, $6) and Unspoken Star (Dylan Parrott, $5).

Moruya trainer Natalie Jarvis also had a winning double and both Champ Profond and Far Too Hot were very well ridden by Maddison Wright.

A winner by over eight lengths at Grenfell Picnics, Champ Profond ($2.20 favourite) again went to the front at Boorowa and safely held off Robran (Leandro Ribei-

ro, $2.60) and Spirited King (Ricky Blewitt, $3.60) in the 1300 metres Class B Handicap.

From midfield, Far Too Hot ($2.50 fav.) swooped on the outside in the 1200 metres Ranvet and Newhaven Park Picnic Sprint to score in a close fi nish from Oakeys Choice (Todd Bailey, $6) and Fantini (Dylan Parrott, $6).

Winless after 61 starts but placed 11 times, the six-yearold mare Red Card Rosie fi nally broke through to win the 1000 metres Maiden Plate for Forbes trainer Peter Kirby.

Leading for home, Red Card Rosie (Ricky Blewitt, $3.50)

was overtaken but fought back to beat Denali Kai (Todd Bailey, $3.50) by a half-head with Kingzan (Tony Williams, $2.60 fav.) fi lling third place.

“Red Card Rosie is not very big but tries hard and usually runs an honest race whether it is at the Picnics or a TAB meeting”, commented Ricky Blewitt.

In the 1200 metres Maiden Plate, Brie Brie ($3.20) ridden

by Sebastian Galea for Gundagai trainer David Blundell, raced off the pace and fi nished best to account for Fallan Eagle (Dylan Parrott, $5) and Gutbuster (Todd Bailey, $4.20).

Cobar Roosters crow as they collect the Cup! CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE, ROUND TWO

Thompson three goals) defeated Coonamble 12 (Shakaye Walker two, Imogen Pawley tries).

By BRYSON LUFF

Competition Ladder Narromine six, Baradine six, Dunedoo six, Coolah six, Coonamble four, Gulgong four, Cobar two, Gilgandra two, Binnaway two, Coonabarabran two.

DESPITE having to face another long trip home from Gulgong’s Billy Dunn Oval, the Cobar Roosters would have been well-pleased with their additional luggage on the return journey — the Boronia Challenge Cup! This iconic bush trophy came into their possession following their comfortable 30-12 defeat of the Gulgong Terriers in Round Two of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League competition.

The result handed the Terriers — reigning Castlereagh Premiers — their first loss since 2022 and in doing so, reinforced the belief in many that the Roosters are the early season favourites for the 2024 Premiership.

The Chookies now sit on top of the competition ladder on six points, along with the other two undefeated sides, the Coolah ‘Roos and the Coonabarabran Unicorns, who both registered hard-fought wins against Coonamble and Baradine respectively.

In both games, the winners were the visiting side and had to fight hard to come away with the competition points.

The ‘Roos continued their impressive start to the season with a 14-6 win over the Bears, and the Unicorns just got home in a tough local derby against the Magpies by 12-6.

In the other game, the Narromine Jets hosted the Gilgandra Panthers with both teams coming off big losses in Round One. It was to be the Jets who prevailed in a see-sawing game that resulted in the scoreboard being locked even on three occasions.

The fi nal score was 32-22 to the Jets, after the Panthers had led 18-12 just 15 minutes into the second half.

Turning to Round Three of the competition, Cobar’s fi rst defence of the Boronia Cup

First Grade Coonabarabran 12 (Shannon Doole two tries, Brad Fuller two goals) defeated Baradine 6 (Luke Hamilton-Forbes try and goal).

Coolah 14 (Jack Piper, Justin Mogg, Chanse Burgess tries, Hugh Wesley goal) defeated Coonamble 6 (Adam Picken try, Mitch Nalder goal).

Baradine (black and white) and Coonabarabran (blue and gold) at Baradine on Saturday. will be against the young and enthusiastic Baradine Magpies who, whilst winless at this early stage of the competition, have lost both their games by a combined total of just 10 points.

No doubt they would like nothing better than to knock the Roosters off their home perch. Cobar would be ill-advised to take them lightly.

Match of the Round status, however, has been conferred on the Coolah versus Coonabarabran game to be played at Coolah, where both sides will be very keen to fi nish the 80 minutes with their unbeaten record intact.

This should make for interesting viewing with a big crowd expected to witness the action at what has been a happy hunting ground for the ‘Roos thus far this year.

The Narromine Jets will be covering a bit of ground this Saturday also, fi rstly when their Youth League and League Tag sides head to “The Crater” at Binnaway to match

it with the Bombshells. Those games are scheduled to kick off at 10am, which will then allow the Jet’s faithful time to get to Coonamble to watch their First Grade side play the Bears in what is a crucial game for both teams.

Coonamble will also host Dunedoo in League Tag, prior to the First Grade game.

The fi nal game will see the Gilgandra Panthers trying to break their season duck against the visiting Gulgong Terriers in Gilgandra.

Christie and Hood Castlereagh League Round Two results Youth League Gulgong 22 (Bobby Pascoe, Kayden Whiley, Mason Hammond, Ricky Constable tries, Caiden Horton three goals) defeated Cobar 16 (Tommy Bryan, Frazer Toropo, Nathan Kelly, Oisin McMullen tries).
