Boot-scoot along to get your skin checked STORY: PAGE 4 Council election results revealed at last By SHARON BONTHUYS BY the time this edition of the Narromine Star is published on Thursday, October 3, the results of the Narromine Shire Council will have been formally declared. The nine elected councillors for the next term have been revealed as Ewen Jones, Craig Davies, Adine Hoey, Lachlan Roberts, Stacey Bohm, Judy Smith, Brian Leak, Les Lambert, and Peter Howe. Five of those — Jones, Davies, Hoey, Roberts and Lambert — are returning councillors while the new kids on the block — Bohm, Smith, Leak and Howe — are first-time councillors.
First poll since 2016 THIS was the first trip to the polls for shire residents since September 2016, when 14 people ran for Council. At the subsequent COVID-impacted election in late 2021, there were only nine candidates for nine positions, and those people were appointed uncontested in line with Local Government legislation. After months of community disquiet, public concerns about community engagement, council decision-making on projects that could potentially have significant impacts on health and the environment — and the at-times rancorous debate on social media by supporters and detractors of the former council — ratepayers got to have their say on Saturday, September 14.
Goodbye, Class of 2024

A heartfelt thank you for NAIDOC Week support By SHARON BONTHUYS ORGANISERS have offered a heartfelt thank you to the community of Narromine, as well as local schools, service providers, businesses and the Narromine Shire Council following a hugely successful program of events during NAIDOC Week. The week, which ran from September 16-22, was made possible by the efforts of the multi-member Narromine Cultural Events Working Group, including the NAIDOC Week Sub-Committee, which had worked for many months to plan and stage the event. The predicted wet weather stayed away, ensuring beautiful warm weather for the week-long celebrations recognising the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Chair of the Narromine Cultural Events Working Group, Lynda Edwards, offered warm praise for the many people invölved as she reflected on the week’s events. “Thanks to all the volunteers, services and community members who helped make this treek’s event fantastic! Especially the Narromine Cultural Working Group who was instrumental in all activities,” Ms Edwards said. “It was wonderful to see all the services coming together in the community and collaborating.”

From page 1 WITH proportional voting determining the outcome, it wasn’t a matter of getting all the votes at the election to win a position, just enough votes to meet the Electoral Commission’s quota, which turned out to be 363 in the end. If you’ve been able to follow the vote-counting process via the NSW Electoral Commission’s online Virtual Tally Room, which has thrown-up some interesting figures during the counting period, you will see how the end results have been derived. The Narromine Star has observed the vote-counting practices from afar, and we unpack some of the things that occurred during that process in a separate article in this issue. That only 81.5 per cent of eligible voters turned out to have their say in this election is disappointing, but not unusual.

Hats off to the unsung heroes MEANWHILE, we need to take a moment to acknowledge the unsung heroes of the Narromine Shire Council election: the six individuals who put up their hands, campaigned, and yet did not get elected. The participation of Fiona Barbary (Tomingley), Rowan James (Trangie), Christine Kelly (Narromine), Vaughan Ellen (Narromine), Melanie Pryde (Narromine) and Diane Sharpe (Narromine) ensured there was an election. Melanie Pryde was the first to publicly announce her candidacy earlier this year, while Christine Kelly and Vaughan Ellen have been regular attendees at the monthly council meetings and have participated in public forums, which they say they will continue to do. These six residents deserve the community’s thanks, respect and admiration for having a go, and giving the community the chance to choose who represents them.

NARROMINE STAR Local News for the Narromine, Trangie & Tomingley region Thursday, October 3, 2024
Four lives lost in horror crash near Tomingley By SHARON BONTHUYS CHARGES have been laid following the death of a married couple from Parkes and two teenagers who died when a van and a ute collided near Tomingley late last Friday night. Parkes residents Graham and Sue Tait, both 57, driving a Toyota Hiace van, were killed in the horrific crash. Best friends Lochie Jacobs, 18, and Joey Urban, 19, also died, passengers in a Toyota Hilux ute driven by the only survivor of the crash, a 23-year-old man, who was injured in the collision. Police are investigating the crash, which occurred about 9.20pm on Friday, September 27 on the Newell Highway near Tomingley. The incident closed the highway between Tomingley and Dubbo for some time, diverting traffic via Narromine well into the following day. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via its website. On Monday, after being discharged from hospital, the driver was charged with four counts of dangerous driving occasioning death, driving in a dangerous manner, and driver and passengers not wearing seatbelts properly adjusted and fastened. The man was given conditional bail to appear before Dubbo Local Court on Monday, October 21.
Support for those impacted THE accident has shocked central west communities, with the Taits leaving behind five children, the youngest aged 16, and the two young men dying when their adult lives were just starting. Supporters have launched two Go Fund Me campaigns to help with funeral arrangements for the four victims. At the time of writing, more than $36,000 had been donated to the Tait fundraiser, while more than $44,000 had been raised for the young men’s appeal. Interviewed on 2DU Radio on Monday, September 30, Duty MLC for the Dubbo Electorate, Stephen Lawrence, described the horrific accident as “an unimaginable event”. “We should all pause and reflect on the dangers of our roads,” he said, indicating the event had prompted a discussion
with his ten-year-old son about safe driving. Mr Lawrence said speed, fatigue and alcohol were the top three causes of the road toll, and it was important to impart messages about road safety and the dangers of the road. Mr Lawrence expressed condolences to the families and friends of all involved and indicated fi rst responders are now receiving counselling.
Third recent fatal accident FRIDAY night’s incident is the third fatal crash to occur in 15 months on the stretch of the Newell Highway between the area just north of Tomingley and Peak Hill. On June 10 this year, one person died following a multi-vehicle crash midway between Tomingley and Peak Hill, in a collision involving three cars, one of which was towing a laden horse float, and a truck carrying cattle. A year earlier, on June 3, 2023, a 44-year-old man died in an early morning collision between a truck and a sedan on the Newell Highway at Tomingley. The Narromine Star has recently driven this route and observed that, north of Tomingley, the Newell Highway is in very good condition, while the stretch between Tomingley and Peak Hill is heavily-patched. At more than 1000 kilometres long, stretching from Tocumwal on the Victorian border to Goondiwindi on the Queensland border, the Newell is the State’s longest highway. It is a National Highway, key freight route, connector point for other major roads, and the route of choice of many travellers making their way between Victoria and Queensland. With three fatal incidents in 15 months in the vicinity of Tomingley and Peak Hill, the Narromine Star asked Transport for NSW whether the condition of the Newell Highway in this area poses a safety concern for motorists. The Department declined to comment as police investigations into the latest incident continue, but a spokesperson offered condolences to those impacted. “Safety is our number one priority and any death or serious injury on our road network is one too many,” the spokesperson concluded.
Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their upfront support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

THE Australian Skin Cancer Foundation’s (ASCF) iconic Skin Check Truck will be back in Narromine right after the Dolly Parton Festival. So, boot-scoot your way over to the Narromine Shire Council carpark for your free check at this fully-equipped medical vehicle, which will be in place for the two days immediately following the festival. The truck’s return to Narromine has been made possible by Alkane Resources’ Tomingley Gold Operations Community Fund.
“We are extremely grateful for this support, as it will provide an opportunity for those that need a check, haven’t had one, and those who visited last time to come again, as it is recommended that you have a skin check every 12 months,” said ASCF Director and local resident, Sally Everett. “It’s also perfect for those in town for the Dolly Parton Festival to take advantage of this important opportunity on Sunday before they head home,” she concluded.
f Work to remediate and improve the Tomingley Creek crossing will commence on Tuesday, October 8, resulting in the closure of Momo Road, Tomingley, to traffic. Local access will be maintained at all times for properties located either side of the road closure, though. However, there will be NO through-road access. See Narromine Shire Council website for more details. f An Open Garden will be held in Narromine this Saturday, with funds raised in support of the Narromine Hospital Auxiliary. This is your chance to see one of the most beautiful gardens in the community and support your local hospital in the process. See the flyers around town for more details or contact the Auxiliary directly. f With more than two-fi fths (41.4 per cent) of women in the region overdue for their two-yearly breast cancer screening, ladies aged 50–74 from Western NSW Local Health District are being urged to book in for a free mammogram this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. f Synapse, Australia’s Brain Injury Organisation, will provide the guest speakers for a Carers’ Week event in mid-October in Dubbo.

This regionally-significant project is funded by the Australian and NSW governments, with construction expected to be completed before the end of 2024. f Ahead of World Mental Health Day on Thursday, October 10, sports brand ASICS has finalised an extensive global research study (which included Australians) with Dr Brendon Stubbs, a leading researcher from King’s College in London. The data suggests office workers are more at risk of mental health issues due to the time they spend sitting at a desk, and that only 15-minutes a day of
moving during working hours, can improve stress levels, confidence, and an overall sense of wellbeing. f Thursday, October 10 is also Household Chemical Clean-Out Day in Narromine Shire. At this time, residents can safely dispose of their unwanted or expired household chemicals free at the Trangie and Narromine Waste Depots. “Hazardous chemicals” include pesticides, weed-killers, solvents, bleach, detergents and even old gas bottles.

The subsite is accessed via the AIHW website. f Nearly 90 per cent of all scams reported by CommBank’s business customers in the last fi nancial year, came from small businesses, with more than half of their losses going to investment scams offering money-making opportunities. Other scams targeting small businesses included “phishing” and compromising of business emails. f National Seniors Australia and Challenger have released research fi ndings into older people’s fi nancial wellbeing and preferences, resulting from the 12th National Seniors Social Survey in which around 4700 people aged 50+ participated. The research revealed the adequacy of the Age Pension, concerns about paying for aged care costs, retirement fi nance options, and older Australians’ levels of fi nancial comfort in general. Further info is available from National Seniors. f With World Pharmacists Day held last Wednesday, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia (PGA) has reminded the community to “think pharmacy fi rst” for the treatment of everyday health conditions, as pharmacists across the country upskill to deliver more for patients. PGA National President, Professor Trent Twomey, said pharmacists are a critical part of a holistic health system, putting their hands up to do more, to take the pressure off GPs and keep Australians out of emergency departments.

Rural Health Matters
Government bans use of genetic tests to refuse insurance cover By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST month, the Federal Government took defi nitive action to ban insurers from using genetic test results to deny life insurance coverage to people identified with genetic risks. This decision now places Australia as a world leader in removing barriers to genetic testing, and will effectively end the ability for insurers to discriminate against people based on adverse predictive genetic test results, and deny them coverage. It is a change advocates have campaigned for over the last decade.
Why is this so important? GENETIC testing can be a life-saving step for many in the community. This valuable technology supports medical practitioners to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor a range of heritable conditions, cancer predisposition syndromes, and cancers. Experts say that no Australian should be discouraged from
undertaking testing out of fear it may impact their ability to get life and or other insurance. Unfortunately, many have declined genetic testing on the advice of medical practitioners who have warned that insurers may decline private health insurance coverage because their genetic testing results may identify the likelihood of an inherited disease. Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services, Stephen Jones said, “I have met with countless people affected by this issue and thank them for sharing their stories and helping to drive this important change,” Mr Jones said. “[It] will give Australians the confidence to undertake genetic testing without fear it will impact their ability to access financial security through life insurance,” he added.
Ban supported THE Australian Medical Association (AMA) welcomed the ban, with AMA President Professor Steve Robson congratulating the Australian Government on its announcement.
“Genetic testing and genomic research have the capacity to rapidly transform health care in Australia by identifying a need for potentially life-saving treatment,” Prof Robson said. “But consumers have been discouraged from participating out of fear of being frozen out of insurance cover if a genetic risk is uncovered,” he added. “Fixing this unacceptable situation is an enormous step forward for health care in this country. “A situation where there has been a huge fi nancial penalty for having potentially life-saving medical testing has now been corrected,” he explained. Monash University ethical, legal and social adviser, Dr Jane Tiller, also congratulated the Government on its commitment to consumer protection and preventive health, and the rigorous process undertaken to consult on this issue. “This policy reform will provide certainty to consumers and allow Australians to make genetic testing decisions based
their genetic results won’t result in discrimination.

on their health rather than fears of fi nancial discrimination,” Dr Tiller said. Dr Robson said having a legislated ban on the use of genetic test results is the only way to ensure Australians feel safe and confident

THE CEO of the Council of Australian Life Insurers, Christine Cupitt, said that the council fully supports the Government’s announcement. “Genetic testing is becoming more common in our community, cheaper to access and increasingly helping people manage or even avoid hereditary conditions,” Ms Cupitt said. “Now is the time for strict Government regulation,” she added. The announcement includes a five-year review of the legislation, which Ms Cupitt said is essential to ensure the law keeps pace with advancements in genomic science and the way genetic tests are used in the future. “[This announcement is] good for working Australians, it’s good for the government, and it’s good for industry too,” Ms Cupitt concluded.

Double demerits and daylight saving return on Long Weekend By SHARON BONTHUYS THIS weekend brings with it a welcome Long Weekend and the return of daylight saving — but watch-out for double demerits for traffic offences! Friday afternoon heralds the arrival of the Labour Day Long Weekend, giving NSW residents a three-day weekend (as well as the NRL grand fi nal), including Monday, October 7, as a public holiday. As usually happens with long weekends, the purveyors of public safety have deemed that double demerits will be in force for four consecutive days in NSW, starting this Friday, October 4, until midnight Monday, October 7. NSW’s premier motoring body, the NRMA, warns motorists to be mindful of their driving behaviour over the four-day period. “During double demerit periods, double demerit points apply for speeding, illegal use of mobile phones, not wearing a seatbelt, and riding without a motorcycle helmet,” the organisation says on its website. As NSW schools are officially on holidays at present, there is thankfully no risk of additional infringements in school zones this long weekend. With a recent accident near Tomingley claiming four lives, the message to travel safely on the roads is a serious one. The other big news for this weekend is that daylight saving starts officially at 2am on Sunday, October 6, with clocks moving forward one hour. Many mobile and digital devices will automatically adjust the time, but old-style clocks and devices will need to be manually adjusted. Not all Australian states observe daylight savings, most notably Queensland being the odd state out on the east coast, so be mindful if doing business with or contacting those parts of the country that don’t have daylight saving.

CWA RECIPE OF THE WEEK
“Easy-As” apple pie By NARROMINE CWA THE good-old apple pie dates back to around the 14th century, did you know? Although it is believed this staple dessert item in many family homes originated in England, over time it has become a symbol of the United States. This is where we get the saying: “As American as apple pie”. Here is an easy apple pie recipe that readers might like to make with their loved ones.
What you need… 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour 125g melted butter 1/2 cup castor sugar 1 egg 800g pie apples cornflour (approx 2 tbsp) cinnamon sugar What to do… Combine the self-raising flour, melted butter, egg, and most of the castor sugar and egg in a bowl. Mix well. Press three-quarters of the mixture into the base of a pie shell. Mix the pie apples, cornflour and remaining castor sugar (to taste) in a microwave bowl or saucepan on the stove, and heat until the cornflour has
started to thicken the mixture. Spread the apple mixture onto the pie base. Spread the remaining quarter of the base mixture over the apples and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake in a moderate oven (180 degrees) for approximately 40 minutes. It’s good enough to eat on its own, but you can also serve it with whipped cream, icecream, custard, or any other item you wish. Did you like this recipe? Follow us on social media for this and so much more. Our branch has been going for over 100 years now, did you know?
A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH Is technology dangerous? RAISE your hand if, when you were growing up, families didn’t talk much about important stuff ? We were left to figure it out, right? Things like how to build a good friendship, not avoiding solutions to problems, what happiness really is, and so on. As a parent, I’ve been on top of these issues, NOT! There’s no doubt these types of conversations like to resolve confl ict or fi nd contentment, and are important matters in families. But it turns out that the discussions have increased in difficulty in recent years. Something happened between the years of 2010 and 2012. According to statistics, children’s satisfaction with life and themselves showed new trends downward. There were increases in rates of depression and anxiety. Survey fi ndings have reported children’s responses more readily, such as, “I don’t enjoy life”, and ”I’m feeling left out and lonely.” They found visits to hospital for self-harming and rates of suicide in teenage girls and young women rising. So what did happen in that
time around 2010 and 2012? Well, around then, the smartphone was being widely adopted. Social media has now got to the point that, on average, teens in America are spending 4.8 hours per day using social media. Is it time we ought to be taming technology? Analysts also put our western consumer culture under the spotlight. Some high-earning psychologists are paid by the advertising industry to take children, from birth, and turn them into little consumers, thinking that they haven’t enough, or are discontent. It can create a distorted view of what makes you happy. With such challenges going on in our culture, for the way of life for our young people, if we aren’t intentional in our conversations with them, the internet will be intentional. All this makes for sobering reading. It can give the impression that our kids have some formidable opponents today. The Bible says in the First book of Peter, Chapter 5 verse 8, “Be alert, your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” Will the next generations overcome these minefields? How good is it to know that we have somewhere to go constantly for answers — the Bible. One helpful part is from Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.” By PHILIP HAND

Rural Crime Matters
Regional crime inquiry starts bush hearings in Bourke and Broken Hill By SHARON BONTHUYS THE NSW Parliamentary inquiry into community safety in regional and rural communities headed west this week, with two public meetings in Bourke and Broken Hill. Led by the Legislative Assembly Committee on Law and Safety, the inquiry is investigating the drivers of youth crime in the regions, as well as specific actions the NSW Government can take to support best-practice prevention initiatives and improve community safety. Committee Chair, MP Edmond Atalla, said these were the Committee’s first regional hearings. “As part of this inquiry, the Committee wants to hear fi rst-hand from regional communities about the issues they are experiencing with respect to crime and public safety,” Mr Atalla said. “We also want to hear about services and programs that are working well — from standout community services, to law enforcement initiatives, and leading diversionary programs — as well as gaps in service provision that need to be addressed,” he added. The NSW Government was one of 195 contributors to make submissions to the inquiry, joining concerned community members, organisations, councils and other stakeholders. NSW Nationals Leader and Dubbo MP, Dugald Saunders, said the inquiry is an important step to developing a whole-of-government approach to the problem of rural crime, but questioned why it took several months for the Minns Government to act. “In the past year, we’ve heard terrible stories of people being bashed in their homes, knifed in their yards and having their cars stolen, leaving our residents living in fear,” Mr Saunders said. “It took the Premier more than six months to take this issue seriously, and the situation is only getting worse, so this inquiry has been a long time coming,” he argued. The hearings in Bourke and Broken Hill are a start, Mr Saunders said, but hopes further hearings will be held in other rural and regional communities. “Our communities have been calling for this, and now they fi nally have a chance to share their stories and help contribute to possible solutions that are tailored to them. “Although this is a good start, I would like to see this inquiry expanded as soon as possible to visit more areas across the regions, because a cookie-cutter approach won’t work. Every community is different and will need slightly different approaches,” he said. Shadow Minister for Police, Paul Toole, also hopes the Government will expand its focus across the regions. “So far the Minns Government has put a lot of focus on Moree, but the people of Bourke, Dubbo, Casino, Tamworth, Orange, Kempsey, Gunnedah and other regional communities are still no closer to a solution,” Mr Toole said. “Our country cops are on the frontline every day and have done an excellent job at getting through a heavy workload with very little resources,” he said. “But they need help, and this inquiry will give us the chance to figure-out what the core issues are and what our hardworking police need to combat this issue,” Mr Toole concluded.
Moderate increase: IPART’s new rate peg for the next financial year
Roads, rates, and rubbish: The final rate peg for Narromine Shire for next financial year, is 4.2 per cent. PHOTO: NSC. AS the dust settles from the Local Government elections with plenty of new faces set to delve into the world of Council business across NSW, the independent organisation responsible for determining rate increases in NSW has announced what ratepayers can expect to see in the 2025/26 fi nancial year. The NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has set “core council rate pegs” ranging from 3.6 per cent to 5.1 per cent across the State. There is a separate rate peg for each of NSW’s 128 councils. The final rate peg for Narromine Shire is 4.2 per cent, according to the IPART website.
Councillors decide EACH council’s rate peg is the maximum percentage by which that local government agency can increase their general income. It is
then open to councils to decide not to implement the increase or to delay it, IPART Chair Carmel Donnelly explained. “Ultimately, elected councillors decide whether to increase rates and by how much. Rate pegs do not apply directly to individual ratepayers’ rates,” Ms Donnelly said. The rate pegs limit the amount by which councils can increase their rates income, while allowing them to meet changes in the cost of providing services. Councils receive income from various sources including grants and user fees and charges. The rate pegs apply only to council ‘general income’ revenue received mostly from rates, which constitutes only part of a Council’s total income. “The rate pegs allow the councils to cover the increasing costs of continuing to provide their services,” Ms Donnelly said.
Cost of living pressures noted
IN making its rate peg decisions, IPART has taken into consideration the impacts of cost-of-living pressures and encourages anyone having difficulty paying their rates bill, to get in touch with their council to access pensioner concessions and other hardship support, Ms Donnelly said. IPART applied a population factor to 72 of the 128 councils’ rate pegs to reflect population growth. This population growth factor is not expected to drive increases in individual rates because any increase from the population factor is spread among the increased number of ratepayers. Further information about the rate peg system is available from the IPART website.
Century celebrations for iconic Mungery Picnic Races By SHARON BONTHUYS A CENTURY of racing will be celebrated this Sunday when the Mungery Picnic Races take to the field once again. Celebrating its centenary, the iconic racecourse, located 40 kilometres south-west of Narromine, is set to come alive once again on this special anniversary for the annual six-race program that brings racegoers from all around on the Labour Day long weekend. The fun starts this Friday, October 4, with the Mungery Calcutta kicking off from 6pm at Mungery Hall. Daylight saving will shoot the clocks forward an hour on Sunday morning, so make sure you get plenty of sleep for the big day ahead! The forecast weather for race day is fi ne, however, with temperatures expected to range from a minimum of 100C to a deliciously-warm 26 0C, so don’t forget your sunscreen and hat on the day — and the insect repellant to ward off those pesky bush fl ies! Also remember to load up your purses and wallets with real money before you leave home, because these races are a cash-only event. “Cash is king. You will need cash to get in and once you’re in,” was the mock-stern reminder on social media this week. There’s no ATM onsite, so visit your local one or raid the piggy bank before leaving home. There’s
no pre-sale tickets either this year; just pay at the gate with your cash. And that’s the real thing, folks. Monopoly money, bitcoin, livestock and other tender is just not accepted at Mungery. “Bring your cold, hard cash!” a reminder to attendees, said. Nominate a designated driver — also known as a “Mungery Minder”, “Mungery Mule”, “Deso Driver”, “AlCo-Pilot”, and more — so you can get home safely after the event and the tipple (or three) you might have had on the day. Alternatively, invest in a “Plan B” as organisers suggest, and bring your swag and free-camp in the carpark. You won’t go hungry, because the good folk at Rotary will have their iconic food van making its very last appearance at the Mungery Picnic Races before it retires at year’s end, and they are staying onsite overnight to feed the hungry hordes for breakfast. Other food and beverage providers will also be available on race day. “Everyone needs a Plan B, so why not stay on after the races and enjoy Ballz n All Band and the NRL Grand Final and don’t worry about driving!” organisers said on social media. It’s a licensed event, which means strictly no BYO alcohol, so remember the rules. While there certainly is entertainment on the field with the sixrace program, there’s plenty of it off the field for racegoers and the kiddlywinks.
We’ve heard people have been training hard for the the Mungery DPH Transport Dash for Cash, which has to be one of the funniest sights you will ever see as people of all ages bolt down the racecourse in boots, heels and even barefoot for the “cold hard cash on offer.” Look out Boomers and Gen Xers… organisers have hinted there may be something on offer for “competitive mature” entrants in this regard as well. The youngest racegoers haven’t been forgotten, with free jumping castles and face painting available on the day. Children 12 and under also get free entry to the races. Finally, more than $3000 in cash and prizes are up for grabs at this year’s Fashions on the Field, so frock-up and rock-up and you just might waltz away a winner on the day. Categories include Best Dressed — Over 18, Best Suited — Over 18, Dynamic Duo — Open (couple), Magnificent Milinery — Open, Youth Racegoer — 13–17 years, and Junior Racegoer — 0–12 years. Organisers gathered in late August for the sold-out 100th Anniversary Ball, and are looking forward to welcoming picnic racing enthusiasts to the racecourse for another day of great picnic racing. Are you going? Look out for the Narromine Star roaming about during the afternoon. We’d love to get your photo for a future issue of the paper.

NAIDOC Week support
Some more photos that we couldn’t quite squeeze in from last week’s edition! PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
Narromine High School demonstrated how tremendously talented its students are, with its band entertaining the crowd for some time and supporting musical performances by various groups of students, including some in Wiradjuri language. Alicia Frail from Ochre Up joined NASCA founder David Liddiard to present photos and gifts to ten Narromine NASCA students who Ms Frail recently photographed on Wiradjuri Country as part of a program she has taken into several western NSW schools. The Welcome to Country was performed by Midnight Brydon who joined Narromine High School Captain for 2025, Jazmin Wright, for the flag-raising ceremony. “[it was] a huge day with many services and community attending,” Ms Edwards said.
“Thank you to all the many many services who came on the day and talked about their services to many community members. Special thanks to the Narromine Shire Council for setting up the flagpoles and the area ready for our event,” she added.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK ral Member Federal arkes for Parkes
Worrying censorship laws
THE Coalition will strongly oppose Labor’s new Misinformation Bill which is an attack on free speech. The Bill would impose huge fines on digital platforms, if the Government decides that they have not removed enough of what they consider to be “misinformation”. To avoid these fines, it’s likely the digital platforms will resort to censoring a large amount of free speech of everyday Australians who want to have their say online. Under this Bill, something can be considered “misinformation” even if it is the honestly held opinion of an Australian. Unintentionally misleading statements about elections, referendums, the economy or stock market will also be considered “misinformation”, and the Communications Minister will be able to personally order Misinformation Investigations and Misinformation Hearings which are extraordinary powers for a Minister to hold in a democracy. I’ve already been receiving correspondence from my constituents about this Bill which has no place in Australia. Free speech is fundamental to our democratic society and the Coalition will always defend it.
Supermarket reform needed
LAST week the Australian Com-
AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo OCTOBER is Small Business Month, a time to recognise and celebrate the vital role that small businesses play in our communities. With more than 850,000 small businesses across NSW, these enterprises are the backbone of our economy, employing nearly two million people and contributing significantly to local growth and prosperity.
petition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) released its interim report from its Supermarket Price Inquiry, accusing Woolworths and Coles of operating within an “oligopoly” and engaging in practices which disadvantage both their customers and suppliers. This came just days after the ACCC announced it had commenced separate legal proceedings against both Coles and Woolworths for allegedly misleading consumers through discount pricing claims on hundreds of products. The Nationals have been calling for supermarket reform since 2022 and in 2023 we called for the ACCC to be directed to start an urgent price inquiry before Christmas. Labor repeatedly ignored our warnings for more than 12 months before finally announcing powers for an ACCC inquiry in late January this year. This interim report vindicates our calls for greater penalties on Australia’s supermarket sector. Introducing divestiture powers, $2 million infringement notices and a Supermarket Commissioner is what’s needed to change the supermarkets’ culture.
Labor fails on road safety THIS month is Rural Road Safety Month which aims to highlight the additional risks associated with driving on rural, regional and remote roads across Australia. Sadly, two thirds of road fatalities occur on rural and regional roads despite less than a third of Australia’s population residing in the regions. New figures show that the number of deaths on Australian roads has increased by 9.2 per cent in the past 12 months. Deaths Small businesses are more than just entities in enterprise; they are the heart of our communities, providing jobs, services and unique local character. Throughout October, we will be shining a spotlight on the incredible impact these businesses have on our communities, families and daily lives. If you know a small business in the Dubbo electorate that deserves to be recognised, please share a post on social media with a shout out as to why you love the business and tag me so I can see which small businesses are loved by our community. This is our chance to highlight the hard work, dedication and resilience of

have been steadily increasing over the past two years, following a decade of decline. This shows that our roads are not up to scratch. The Labor Government has cut, cancelled or delayed $27.9 billion worth of infrastructure projects, including vital road funding and the impacts are being felt by road users. I was travelling up and down the Newell Highway - one of our busiest highways - last week and there are many sections that are in need of repair. I don’t think any funding has been allocated to the Newell since Labor has been in Government.
Positive post office news GREAT news last week that Central Darling Shire Council has reached an agreement with Australia Post to ensure ongoing delivery of the Licensed Post Office in Ivanhoe. The loss of these services has been a massive worry for the community, with many constituents contacting me to raise their concerns. I was happy to play my part by raising this issue with Australia Post, so I’m pleased with this fantastic outcome for the community. Meanwhile, two organisations in the Parkes electorate have received Australia Post Community Grants. The Barkandji Native Title Group Aboriginal Corporation has received $10,000 to establish a fortnightly men’s yarning circle to improve support for local Indigenous men. This includes three volunteers undertaking culturally-appropriate peer-topeer suicide prevention training in Adelaide. And the Murdi Paaki Regional Rugby League Council has received $2,000 for its Dulili Project which will support elderly Aboriginal women in Dubbo through weekly yarning circles.

Voting processes leave questions unanswered
The final election results for the Narromine Shire as recorded on the NSWEC’s Virtual Tally Room. PHOTOS: NSWEC VTR.
Different again, the Virtual Tally Room results for pre-poll voting as at Sunday, September 30 — 1739.
Different figures, what the NSWEC Virtual Tally Room had recorded on Saturday, September 28. Note the pre-poll number midway down on the right — 1748. By SHARON BONTHUYS THE NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) has said a “bundling error” by election staff is responsible for differing results between the initial pre-poll count and secondary “check count” for the Narromine Shire Council election. Despite candidates and the public being told the pre-poll votes would not be counted until September 16, they were actually counted on election night at the Returning Office in Wellington, recording 1684 pre-poll fi rst-preference votes, along with 76 informal votes.
Scrutineer mystery TWO scrutineers attended the pre-poll count in Wellington on election night — but the Narromine Star has been unable to obtain an answer from the NSWEC about which candidates or organisations those scrutineers represented, or how they knew the prepoll would be counted there on election night, as this was not known by the candidates we spoke to. One scrutineer who asked election officials to be present
for the pre-poll vote, Karina McLachlain, said she was told she was unable to do so, and found the process frustrating. “I wasn’t given the opportunity to be a scrutineer for the pre-poll on Saturday night. “I was told I would only be able to be a scrutineer on Saturday night for the votes received on election day,” Ms McLachlain told the Narromine Star.
Check count discrepancy MS McLachlain was a scrutineer for Ewen Jones at the check count on Wednesday, September 25, which was also carried out at the Returning Office in Wellington. Ms McLachlain identified the pre-poll discrepancy, indicating the check count stood at 1739 pre-poll votes with 93 informal — a difference of 55 votes from the results reported on election night. This was confi rmed at the time in the Virtual Tally Room. She brought the discrepancy to the attention of the Returning Officer, who indicated it would be in-
vestigated, Ms McLachlain said.
But wait, there’s still more… THE tally had increased to 1748 pre-poll votes with 93 informal on Saturday, September 28. This is a difference of 64 ballot papers. The Narromine Star’s screen shot of the voting taken on that day confi rms what we saw online, and which prompted our second enquiry to the NSWEC. However, if you check back at the Virtual Tally Room now, the only document available to publicly view now shows the pre-poll tally has returned to 1739 with 93 informal. An interesting development from the check count was the significant increase in first preference pre-poll votes for candidate Les Lambert, with his election night pre-poll results jumping from 32 to 80 at the conclusion of the check count.
Postal votes and preferencing POSTAL voting closed at 6pm last Friday night and 285 votes were received from this pro-
cess, with 15 of those informal. Preferences were distributed on Monday, September 30, and it was this process that saw the fi nal candidates elected. Prior to the preference distribution, Ewen Jones, Craig Davies, Brian Leak, Judy Smith, and Stacey Bohm had reached the quota for election under the proportional voting system used. After preferences were distributed, Peter Howe, Adine Hoey, Les Lambert, and Lachlan Roberts were also elected.
NSWEC response THE Narromine Star has contacted the NSWEC twice for clarification of the scrutineer issue and the voting discrepancy. No response has been provided in relation to the scrutineers attending the prepoll count at Wellington on election night. Last Saturday, a spokesperson from the NSWEC told the Narromine Star that a bundle of 100 ballot papers was reportedly counted as 50 ballot papers. However, this doesn’t account for the additional 14 votes that were found during the check
count which numbered 1748 on Friday and Saturday (until it reverted to 1739). “We acknowledge there was an error in an email sent to candidates regarding the timing of that [pre-poll] count,” a NSWEC spokesperson said in a subsequent email response, indicating candidates were offered the opportunity to provide a scrutineer at the subsequent check count. The spokesperson said two election officials completed the checking process. “The count system then completes a check whether there is any difference in the data entered by the two officials. “Any difference must be reconciled before the preferences on the ballot paper can be confi rmed as correct,” the spokesperson added. The Narromine Star is not suggesting any impropriety by election officials. As we have previously indicated to the NSWEC, the local election was contested on issues including transparency and communication. Our interest in the voting results and processes reflects this wider community interest.

Little dairy making a big splash, with the help of low-interest loan
“At the end of the day, I think all business owners are looking for the ‘one per cents’ to save money.” THEY’RE the little dairy making a big splash in the fresh milk market, with a new low-interest loan helping them along the way. Little Big Dairy Company at Rawsonville, midway between Dubbo and Narromine, will use the money to move more production in-house, and to reduce waste and power costs at their sixth-generation, family-owned operation, Director, Emma Elliot, said. “We are looking to purchase some automation here at the factory, an on-site labelling machine, and some sensors to identify product defects on the filling-line,” Ms Elliott explained. “Also, some automation here at our cool-room, for an

automatic door to help labour saving making this a better place to work, and also to save energy and wasted products,” she added. Under the $5 million pilot program, the State Government Rural Assistance Authority (RAA) loans can be used for projects such as installing automated production lines, upgrading bottling lines, or buying equipment that will enable products to be exported more efficiently. “At the end of the day, I think all business owners are looking for the ‘one per cents’ to save money, to improve their working conditions for the team that they have, to retain their staff, upskill their staff and also make it a better
place to live, while also saving on waste,” Ms Elliott said. “For us here at Little Big we hate seeing milk being wasted so, if there’s a bottle that comes down the line that’s missing a cap and then it gets chucked-out that’s really disheartening for us, so anything little like sensors on our line that will help us to reduce that happening, is something that we’re looking to do.” The loans are available for between $100,000 and $1 million with interest charged monthly at a fi xed rate of 2.5 percent for the life of the loan. Loan repayments are interest only for the fi rst two years, with a maximum loan term of seven years. “The RAA’s loan is going to
enable us to do that a lot quicker than we would probably do, if we had to save for the deposit or prepare a business case for our regular fi nance options,” she said. “It’s definitely made it a project that we would want to pursue sooner than we would via our traditional borrowing methods.” The new money will help the company increase local upline production, which will flow-on to other local enterprises in the region. “We are really proud to be located on the outskirts of dubbo to be a regional business I guess is really exciting because we have such a great support network from our local community here , we fell
lime we’re right in the middle of everywhere 10 hours to Brisbane, 10 hours to Melbourne, six hours to Sydney… our local community is our home base,” Ms Elliott said.
“Being a business located in regional NSW, allows us to get things done really quickly, it cones with its challenges and its proximity for our suppliers so that the more we can do here in house and work with other local providers in our local region, the more robust our community becomes and the more agile and sustainable we also become not just as a business but as a community as well,” she concluded.

Nurse Jody has made it to Nepal
Local nurse Jody Towney is now in Nepal for a three-week volunteering adventure. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE nurse Jody Towney has safely made it to far away Nepal to commence her three-week volunteering activity with a group of other nursing professionals. Jody and the team of dedicated volunteers couldn’t have arrived at a more pressing time, as monsoonal rains have caused devastating floods near the nation’s capital, Kathmandu. The flooding has wreaked major destruction and killed more than 100 people, with almost as many people injured and many more missing.
“[I’m] absolutely heartbroken to see this,” she commented on social media after arriving. The Narromine Star spoke to Ms Towney before she departed last weekend, as she took a break from developing education and training materials about trauma to the brain to assist Nepalese health workers during her visit. “It will give them a little bit of an idea about how trauma to the brain may affect their personality behaviour, emotions, etc,” she explained. Ms Towney said she was excited to be going but under
Narromine’s Jody Towney and the other volunteer nurses who arrived in Nepal last weekend. no illusions about what she might face over there given the huge differences between the Australian and Nepalese health systems. “I will be seeing some things there that I don’t see here in Australia on a regular basis. Facing that every day is going to be a massive challenge,” she said. “At the same time, I know the team [of 10 nurses] I’m heading over with is going to be supportive when it comes to dealing with anything that is difficult to see,” she added. A daily debrief with team members will provide addi-
tional support, she said. Ms Towney expressed her thanks to supporters who donated generously to her fundraising efforts ahead of the trip, needed as part of her voluntary commitment with World Youth International’s Nurses In Action program. This support has helped her almost double her original goal of raising $1700 to purchase items and equipment to stay in Nepal after her visit. “I smashed my goal and raised just over $3000 all up,” she said proudly. Mentioned for her efforts in the NSW Parliament recent-
ly by Member for Dubbo Electorate, Dugald Saunders, Ms Towney thanked supporters Coles, Innersense, Renee Jean Art, Style 33 Boutique, Country Traders, Macquarie Clothing, Narromine Auto Repairs, Narromine Pharmacy and Soy Scents, as well as the community for contributing to her fundraising efforts. Ms Towney promises to update her social media page (Jody Towney — Nursing in Nepal) as often as possible around the connectivity at her various work locations in the mountainous country.
Garden Club explores sculpture trail By VIRGINIA MATHER, NARROMINE GARDEN CLUB MEMBERS of Narromine Garden Club left Narromine at 8am recently to travel with Langley’s Coaches to Forbes, where we stopped for a short break and morning tea at the bakery. We began the Sculpture Trail — which was fi rst started in 2014 — at Albion Park then headed-off on our run to Condobolin with stops on the way where we left the coach and walked short distances to see each sculpture. The fi rst sculpture we walked to was the 20-metre Goanna “Varanus”, a truly amazing structure of galvanised steel, that was installed in 2020. Two of the sculptures, “Family Matters” and “Brumbies Run”, were also made by local Wongarbon sculptor Brett “Mon” Garling. We continued on to Condobolin, stopping at most of the other sculptures on the way until we came to the display “Utes in the Paddock”. The Utes were donated by residents from the area, while many of Australia’s most-gifted outback artists donated their time to paint these old cars as a tribute to life in the bush. About 16 of the utes are on display outside the Condobolin Visitors Centre. We had lunch at Thorpey’s in the paddock, a cafe established earlier this year to cater for the many visitors that pass through. After an enjoyable trip, we then headed home to Narromine with an acknowledgement to the 17 club members who came along on this most interesting day out. The Garden Club also recently visited the home of Heather McIntyre.

ATTENTION: Year 12 students and families Mrs Paige Newbigging, Jemma Byrne, and Ms Trudy Althofer. By JUSTINE REID, YEAR 12 ADVISOR, NARROMINE HIGH SCHOOL NARROMINE High School last Thursday held Year 12’s fi nal Assembly, a special event that commemorated the student’s journey and celebrated their achievements. It was a wonderful time to reflect on their high school years, and share in the joy of their classmates’ successes. Awards were presented, outstanding contributions

were recognised, and we looked back at memorable moments from their time at NHS. The assembly marked the end of one chapter in their lives, and the beginning of the next. We’d like to acknowledge the support systems that have helped each student reach this point — families, friends, and our dedicated staff. Without their encouragement, this achievement wouldn’t be possible. In the coming weeks, we
will celebrate the students’ accomplishments with the Formal in November, where we’ll take time to honour each Year 12 student. Please keep an eye out for further details regarding this special event. Once again, congratulations to the Class of 2024! We wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Their hard work has paid off, and we cannot wait to see what they accomplish next.

Goodbye, Class of 2024
Senior students at Narromine High enjoying their graduation last week. The Class of 2024 started a new tradition wearing graduation attire and mortarboard caps for their ceremony, which will be passed down to future graduating cohorts. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. By SHARON BONTHUYS THERE were tears and cheers last week in Narromine and Trangie, as Year 12 students said goodbye to their formal schooling at assemblies held in both communities. As both events were on at the same time, Narromine Star was unable to attend both, and, as we had been invited to attend the Narromine event, we found ourselves in the packed auditorium with family, friends and the school community last Thursday. The fi rst part of the assembly recognised the efforts of students from Year Seven to Year 11, distributing many awards across a range of academic, sporting, and oth-
er achievement areas, before transitioning to the graduation ceremony for Year 12. More awards were presented there, before speeches were made by student leaders and staff. One of those, Year 12 Adviser Justine Reid, has provided a reflection of the speech she delivered farewelling the school’s senior class, which we have printed. Students presented some fun awards to their teachers as well as themselves, and watched a video reflection of their journey at the school from Year Seven, before the serious business of taking that symbolic fi nal walk through the auditorium and out the school gate for the last time. At Narromine, the Class of
2024 also started a new tradition: they donned navy graduation gowns, white sashes, and classic, square, tassled, mortarboard caps, the latter flung high in the air before they marched — or danced — their way out of the auditorium following the assembly. Importantly, the students have donated these items to the school for use by future graduating cohorts. The graduating students from Narromine and Trangie were part of the largest-ever cohort of students completing their Higher School Certificate (HSC) in NSW. A record 80,166 students completed at least one HSC course this year, and 76,221 of them are known to be completing at least one
exam. The countdown now begins to the HSC written exam period in the coming weeks. Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, congratulated his electorate’s students on completing their formal education, and provided a free guide to assist with life after school. “Completing school is an exciting time for young adults who have lots to look forward to,” Mr Coulton said. “However, there’s a lot to think about when deciding what to do after school. There are so many opportunities and many different pathways to get there,” he added. Copies of the 2024 School Leavers’ Guide have been sent to all schools in the electorate. “All the best to every grad-
uating student in the Parkes electorate on this next exciting chapter,” Mr Coulton said.
NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Education Prue Car reflected on the importance of this time for the state’s senior students.
“This point is a major milestone for students, as they head out of the school gates and [many] prepare to take on [HSC] exams next month,” she said.
“Thank you to the teachers of NSW who have prepared students for this moment and to all teachers who have guided students through their 13 years of education,” she concluded.

NARROMINE BOWLS CLUB NEWS
Bowls mash-up By JOHN EDWARDS, NARROMINE BOWLING CLUB HERE are the news and views, in a nutshell. f Social bowls on Thursday, September 26, were washed out due to the showery weather. f Last Sunday, 10 bowlers made the trek to Trangie for social bowls with the locals and we hear a good day was had by all. f Fours Championship nominations are on the board, with competition to start late next month. f By popular demand, the Bowling Club will be holding another monster raffle late next month with over 30 prizes up for grabs. f The Annual General Meeting of the Narromine Bowling Club will be held later next month and nominations are on the board. f Our annual bowls tournament, a triples event, is on in early November. Open to the fi rst 24 teams to register, more information will be provided as the date gets closer. f Don’t forget our usual twice-weekly raffles Joke of the week: Paddy and Murphy go fishing, but when they get to the bridge, they realise they have forgotten their equipment. So Murphy comes up with an idea. “Paddy, you hold me by the ankles over the bridge and when I see a fish, I’ll grab it”. So Paddy hangs him over the side, and all of a sudden Murphy shouts out, “Paddy, pull me up quick!” Paddy asks, “Why Murphy, have you caught a fish?” “No”, Murphy replies, “There’s a freakin’ train coming!” Until next week – have a good week and good bowling.

Foxstorm wins at Come-By-Chance
RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES GILGANDRA gelding Foxstorm is on target for the $50,000 NSW Picnic Championship Final at Coonamble later this month after a runaway win before a good crowd on Saturday, September 28 in the 1400 metres Evergreen/Dad And Dave’s - PJ O’Brien Memorial Come-By-Chance Picnic Cup. Ridden by Gilgandra-based Zara Lewis for local trainer Ashley Gibson, Foxstorm ($4.60) led throughout to win by over five lengths from Dynastic (Arthur Pollock, $3.50) and Celtic Harp (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.80 favourite). Zara Lewis then climbed aboard the Debbie Presttrained Yet Tobe A Cod for a surprise win in the 1600 metres Sydney Cricket Ground Trust Class B Handicap. Saved for a late run by Zara Lewis, Yet Tobe A Cod ($7) reeled in Mean Girls (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.60) to score by threequarters of a length with Kingsway (Izzy Neale, $3.60) in third place. The grand warrior, 12-yearold Billy Bent Ear, made it 19 wins and 42 placings from 154 starts when taking out the
1000 metres Dubbo City Toyota Come-By-Chance Sprint. In front all the way, the Connie Greig trained Billy Bent Ear (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.50) held on too well for Anini (Todd Bailey, $4) and Sparks (Eloise Drews, $2.50). Connie Greig also won the 800 metres Rabobank Australia Class Three Trophy race with I’m Scarlett. Better suited over much longer distances, I’m Scarlett (Leandro Ribeiro, $4.20) was nevertheless able to work home from the back of the field and account for Bulla-way Creek (Izzy Neale, $6) and Adviser (Eloise Drews, $2.20 favourite). The other leg of a treble for Leandro Ribeiro was the Jane Clement, Armidale-trained Rainmaker in the 1000 metres Statewide Sheds-KG Memorial Plate. Leading most of the way, Rainmaker ($3) won in a close fi nish from Shades Of Truth (Arthur Pollock, $6) and Montido (Ashley Boyd, $10). Scone trainer Nikki Pollock and her son, jockey Arthur Pollock have combined for several wins on the picnic circuit this season and their success continued at Come-ByChance with One Command in the 1200 metres Boss Agriculture-RM Melville Memorial Class B Handicap. Finishing strongly from
well back, One Command ($2.70 fav.)won by almost four lengths from Transition (Todd Bailey, $9) and Keep Ya Promise (Izzy Neale, $3.60).
Dunbar salutes at Grenfell Cup DUBBO jockey Ken Dunbar has enjoyed considerable success at Grenfell meetings over recent years and on Saturday (September 28) it was a winning double including Shafty in the 2000 metres Cultiv8 Financials Grenfell Cup. Making a brave attempt to lead all the way, Jin Chi Phantom (Will Stanley, $7) was overhauled close to the fi nish and beaten a half-neck by the David Blundell, Gundagai-trained Shafty ($3.20 equal favourite) with Kiss The Bride (Corey Parish, $3.40) a half neck away third. Orange-based trainer Melissa Harrison supplied the other Ken Dunbar winner, On The Decs in the 1400 metres Mawhood’s IGA/Hilltops Equine Centre Maiden Plate. Racing in fourth position, On The Decs ($4.20) then sprinted to an almost three lengths win over stablemate Diamond Sun (Will Stanley, $4.20) and Side Cash (Mich-ael Heagney, $3.60). “It helps when you can get a Group one jockey to ride your horse at a non-TAB country
meeting”, said Lachlan Dale, after Deploy And Destroy won the 1400 metres Coopers Civil and Crushing/Crutcher Developments - Loaded Dog BM 58 Handicap at Grenfell. Lachlan Dale, the foreman for his father, the Wangaratta, Victoria trainer Andrew Dale, was referring to jockey Cory Parish who is based at Seymour in Victoria. Formerly from New Zealand, Cory Parish won the 2017 Caulfield Cup on the David Hayes trained Boom Time and he has also won the G1 South Australian Derby. A winner at the 2023 Grenfell meeting, the magnificent looking, big dappled grey gelding Deploy And Destroy (Cory Parish, $2.10 favourite) found clear running in the straight and burst through the pack to beat Gilded Crown (Ken Dunbar, $5.50) and High Charge (Georgina McDonnell, $10). Grenfell Jockey Club has an unrivalled reputation for the excellent way they treat trainers, owners and jockeys, evidenced by the big teams of horses brought the long distance from Victoria every year. Andrew Dale had seven starters while Don Dwyer from Seymour had four runners. The huge smile said it all when Hannah Johnston returned after her career f irst winner, Play The Re-

cord in the 10 0 0 metres Lachlan Fertilizers/K MW L/ Forbes Livestock Maiden Handicap for Dubbo trainer Michael Mulholland to whom she is apprenticed. In the leading trio turning for home , Play The Record ($7) broke clear to win by over a length from Zillions (Angela Cooper, $11) and Roigard (Will Stanley, $3.60). Johnston is very well liked and respected and her win was popular amongst the racing fraternity. Parkes trainer Sharon Jeffries is a strong supporter of apprentice Will Stanley and they won the 1000 metres Bromar Engine-ering Benchmark 58 Handicap with Obse-ssive Nature. Leading for home Obsessive Nature ($2.80) kicked away for a convincing win from Crimosa (Cory Parish, $2.30 fav.) and My Oddette (Jessica Brookes, $6). Very well ridden by Georgina McDonnell in the 1200 metres Aston and Joyce/JJ O’Connors CASE I H Class Two Handicap, the Daniel Stanley, Wellington-trained Bush Warrior ($21) steadily made ground from well back and after hitting the lead in the straight won by a half neck from the fast fi nishing Five Feet Apart (Chelsea Stanley, $21) with a long neck to Cheap Shot (Jess-ica Brookes, $2.20 favourite).

By NORM LEWIS A TOP field played in Saturday’s Three-Person Ambrose event at Narromine Golf Club. This popular competition attracted some 65 players for an array of trophies provided by Narromine Auto Repairs. Winners on the day were the team of Matt Ward, Simon Richardson, and Liam Ward with a score of 55.5. Runners-up were Matt Gainsford, Jason McPherson, and Mick Purcell on 58, while Rob and Kath Williams and teammate Rob Gainsford came in third with 60.33 — just a smidgeon ahead of fourth place-getters Emily Gainsford, Kelly McPherson and Katie McCutcheon with 60.83.

Nearest-the-Pins went to W. Itoya on the third hole, Matt Gainsford on the ninth, Alex Sambrook on the 10th, and Jason Walters on the 17th. Long Drives were recorded on the fi rst for Emily Gainsford and Eddy Webb. All in all, a great day’s golf! On Sunday, it was the fi nal of the annual Shootout event. In this event, all winners of the monthly competitions were invited to play in the fi nal. This attracted a large following to see the players compete for the major trophy. The competition works so that at each hole the loser drops out until a winner is decided. This year, the winner was Doug Potter with Duane Faro-Mann runner-up and Peter Hutchinson in third. This was

a popular and interesting format. A major event on the forthcoming holiday weekend is the “Dad’s Army Golf Day”. We read all about this competition in last week’s copy of the Narromine Star. The event is a Two-Person Ambrose and honours an extraordinary group of golfers who are no longer with us. There will be a barbecue lunch prior to hit off, as players vie for an array of trophies provided by the relatives of the “Dad’s Army”. We’re also holding a 4BBB with trophies supplied by the Narromine Veterans Club, with an On Individual Stableford on the public holiday for a club trophy. That’s all for this week. See you all at the 19th!
LAST Wednesday, there was a small field of seven golfers who braved the conditions for the weekly Gerries competition. It is close to the end of the winter season, however, so when we move to the Summer Saturday morning comp, we may attract larger fields. The latest round was won by Gus Smith on 27 points — good to see you doing better than your footy team, “The Slippery Eels”! Col Shepherdson took out second place with 24 points, and Chris Harding won the Nearestthe-Pin prize. However, “El Supremo” Terry, has told me that there are no more jackpots until there are larger fields. The NAGA prize went to Mal Fraser who beat out Brian Masling for the award, although both had scores of 17 points. The last of the winter Wednesday comp was played this week. Due to the start of Business House competition, the Gerries will not be playing any more Wednesday events for this season. Our fi rst Saturday morning comp starts in mid-October. More details next week. The Veterans season for major tournaments and Opens was to conclude today, Thursday, October 3, with the Warren Open. The last Vets’ nine-hole comp will be played in late October. Special mention this week goes to Bruce Coffey, who celebrated his 90th Birthday on Monday. Bruce, along with his friend, Bruce MacLean, has helped the Veterans for many years cooking the barbecues for our major Opens and Championships. Many thanks to the two Bruces. Hope you had a Happy Birthday, “Coff ”. That’s all for this week. See you all at the 19th!
