Debutantes shine as the Deb Ball returns to Narromine By SHARON BONTHUYS SEVEN teenage debutantes and their partners. Six weeks of dance lessons with a local legend and her protege. A high school hall transformed into a beautiful ballroom. A Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association with a vision and a unique idea to raise funds. School staff pitching in for the benefit of their students. All of these things combined last Saturday night to deliver the fi rst Debutante Ball to be held in Narromine since before the COVID pandemic. About 115 people joined the debutantes and their partners at the event at the Narromine High School hall, watching on with pride as each couple was formally presented to esteemed Elder, Aunty Ruth Carney, and recently elected Narromine Shire mayor, Ewen Jones. Narromine High School Principal Lucy Burns introduced each couple as they were presented to the dignitaries and took their places on the dance floor. The debutantes and their partners included Hannah Preston and Tyler Morrissey, Talin Horstman and Callum Hutchinson, Isabella

Watching the debutantes and their partners participate in a tradition she has been involved with for many decades was a special moment for Aunty Ruth, who, togeth-
er with her late husband Dick Carney, has been involved with debutante balls in the community for over 40 years. To prepare the teens for the evening, Aunty Ruth worked
with Holly Monaghan, herself a former debutante and dance pupil of the Carneys, every Monday afternoon for six weeks to teach the debutantes and their partners three traditional “old-time” dances that they performed at the ball. Mayor Jones attended with his wife, Tammy Jones, who also took to the dance floor during the evening. Aunty Ruth was also escorted onto the dance floor and showed her superior dance skills at the event. Speeches were also made by the dignitaries, Hannah Preston and Talin Horstman on behalf of the debutantes, and Narromine High P&C President, Kat Barnes. The debutantes cut a twotiered cake made especially for the occasion before letting their hair down and enjoying the evening with their loved ones, teaching staff and friends. Debutante Skye Morrissey said she loved the night and especially dressing up in a beautiful gown for the event. Another debutante, Mia Barnes, said being presented to the dignitaries was a particular highlight. Continued page 11

Just over 140 NSW Scouts wer e in Narromine Shire last weekend with a special visit to the Nar romine Aviation Museum on Saturday one of the highlights.
By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN SOME 140 NSW Scouts were in Narromine Shire earlier this month for their major end-of-year camp at Minnamurra Campsite off Brummagen Road. “Cub-Oonai” is a major Cub Scout camp held at the end of each year involving Cubs from across the Golden West coming together for a weekend of friendship and adventure. The Scouts participated in air, earth, water, and fi re activities, with 147 NSW Scouts from Kandos, Mudgee, Orange, Bathurst, Parkes, and the ACT, also making the trip out to the historic Narromine Aviation Museum on Saturday. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the Scouts were unable to participate in gliding activities at Central West Slopes and Plains area: Cloudy.

Narromine Gliding Club, but did receive an in-depth tour of the Aviation Museum on Saturday, November 16. Cubs, Joey’s, Scouts, and Venturers were all in attendance, with many of the kids telling the Narromine Star how impressed they were with the museum. Youth and Leaders from 1st Kandos Scouts, 1st Mudgee Scouts, Second Orange Scouts, Third Orange Scouts, Third Bathurst Scouts, Third Parkes Scouts, First Dubbo Scouts, and the Golden West Rovers, as well as the Fellowship and Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts from Canberra, all had a great time in the museum. Scouts Leader, Janelle Roarty Calder told the Narromine Star the museum visit was beneficial to the children and helps them learn about local history.

“It really is a good opportunity for the kids to learn about history — whether it’s war-time related or not,” Janelle said. “It’s a great little museum you have here out in Narromine,” she added. Janelle told the Narromine Star that the children learnt a number of important skills and lessons during their weekend-long camp off Brummagen Road. “Whether it be just doing your best, or getting presented with challenges that you normally don’t get presented with,” she explained. “You know school and other things give you certain challenges, but nothing like Scouts, which has such a broad range of activities and you can really do anything with the skills you learn,” Janelle concluded.

Narromine Shire Council Meeting Wrap-Up Narromine Rotary set to farewell food van PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.
By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN Rotary Van volunteers are preparing to shut-up shop for good following the Venetian Carnival. PHOTOS: ROTARY CLUB OF NARROMINE FACEBOOK.
A lovely thank you from John and Emily at our final race meeting. By ROTARY CLUB OF NARROMINE AS the Narromine Rotary Club heads towards the end of 2024, we are still working hard to provide our catering van services to the community. We are nearly at the end of our time as the Rotary Club though, as our aged bodies have one more event with the van before it retires and our volunteers get to retire as well. At this stage we will still operate as the Rotary Club but unfortunately our van won’t be seen
around town. The decision to retire the van was not easy for us, as we enjoy the Narromine community at each and every event we attend. Unfortunately, as our members age, it has gotten harder for us to find volunteers and bring the van around - but we hope we can still continue the good deeds of the Rotary Club in different ways. Our last event for the year is the Narromine Venetian Carnival at Cale Oval next month. Come on down and support us one last fi nal time!
Narromine FOUNDATION SUPPORTERS A big thank-you to these businesses for their up-front support, helping to bring local news back to the Narromine Shire.

A report will be presented to Council in early 2025 to consider any written submissions and adopt the Cemetery Master Plan.

This is great news for the sector. f The Summer Reading Challenge (SRC) starts again at Trangie and Narromine Libraries next month and will run for 13 weeks. The Challenge is a free reading incentive program for children from toddlers and all the way up to 16 year-old youth, and is a fun way to help maintain literacy levels over summer. There are also 20 prize packs to be won during the SRC — contact your local library for more details. f A free event will be held in Narromine early next month in support of the International Day of People with a Disability 2024.

sion, especially for local children. Contact the church for more details. f That calendar staple — the Narromine Venetian Carnival — is on once again next month. There will be lots on offer at this event, so make sure you follow local social media for further details. f Forget the traditional Boxing Day Cricket Test this year and support another cricket match closer to home. The “Trundle Testicle Festival”, better known as the “Testy Fest”, takes place in our near-neighbouring town on the same day and is the perfect solution to over-eating on Christmas Day. The event seeks to raise money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Follow the festival on social media for more details and/or to enter a team. f Until Christmas Eve, kids of all ages across the country can call Santa from any of Telstra’s 14,000-plus public payphones by dialling # HO HO HO (# 46 46 46). It’s a free call, as local and national calls to standard fi xed line numbers and calls to standard Australian mobiles made on Telstra’s public payphones, are no longer charged, as of late 2022. f Landcare Australia will host a Carbon in Agriculture: Understanding Ecosystem Opportunities for Your Business Webinar in early December.

align public, Catholic, and independent schools under a consistent and comprehensive anti-bullying strategy. This will pave the way for more effective interventions and support systems for all children and young people, says anti-bullying non-profit Dolly’s Dream. Government action comes in the wake of the deaths of two private school students resulting from alleged bullying and “catfishing” (using an online fake ID to develop a relationship with, and then humiliate, a victim). It also follows a report released by The Australian Council for Educational Research, which found that Australian school students were most bullied among comparable English-speaking countries, with around one-in-six students saying they have been made fun of by their peers. f It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas - for scammers — as Australians shoppers gear up to spend more than $35 billion on retail trade in December. Bendigo Bank is therefore warning consumers about various rip-off schemes in the countdown to Christmas with customers being warned to not be caught by such things as phishing — pronounced: “fishing” — attempts to steal money or fi nancial details by getting victims to reveal personal information through emails that appear to be legitimate. Also, they say, look out for fake online shopping sites and be wary of impersonation scams. According to the fi nancial institution, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank stopped $34.4 million in fraudulent transactions last year.
f The NSW Government is warning consumers about the potential dangers of buying poor lithium-ion battery powered products, which may pose a fi re-risk, as gifts this holiday season. New data reveals there have already been a record 275 battery-related incidents so far this year, surpassing last year’s previous record number of 272. Small portable devices have accounted for the most incidents 2024 (94), while there have been 86 fi res involving e-micro-mobility devices. State Minister for the Environment, Penny Sharpe said that used batteries need to be disposed of correctly as, if they are dumped in household rubbish, they can cause serious, intense, and dangerous fi res. f Legislation has been passed in the NSW Parliament recently which will expand support for families who have lost loved ones in road crimes. The Victims Rights and Support Amendment Bill 2024 will make counselling available through the Victims Support Scheme to family members of a person killed in a motor vehicle crash where someone is charged in relation to the crash. Under the proposed changes, family members will also be eligible for counselling support if charges cannot be laid because the offender has died or cannot be located or if there is sufficient evidence to establish that an offence has apparently occurred. An eligible family member will be able to access 22 hours of approved counselling, with further hours available if approved by the Commissioner of Victims Rights.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Jeni Milligan, Nyngan Secretary, Stephanie Van Lubeck, Warren Group Representative to State, Denise Turnbull, Enngonia President. PHOTO: TRANGIE CWA. By PAT RILEY THE fi rst meeting of the newly elected executive of the Far Western Group of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW was held in Nyngan last Saturday, November 23. The meeting was attended by branch representatives from Narromine, Trangie, Warren, Cobar, Nyngan, Enngonia, and Hermidale, and provided an opportunity for the discussion of the Association’s agenda for the coming year. Reports presented by the various committee officers on the activities of each branch over the past few months showed that, while in some cases, membership numbers are dwindling, overall the ethos of CWA remains intact. The initial role of the CWA NSW, which was founded in 1922, was to lessen the hardship encountered by families, specifically by women and children as they ventured beyond the moun-
tains to settle the vast rural areas of the state. Today, the association continues its advocacy for a number of issues including and related to domestic violence, rural health, housing, and the shortage of doctors in rural areas, to name just a few. High on the list of CWA priorities is education. Each year branch Ag and Environment and International committees conduct competitions designed to provide school students with the opportunity to study a foreign country as well as Australian flora, fauna and foe. The Far Western Group provides funding for education by means of a grant to assist primary school children, while all funds raised by Sydney’s CWA Phillip Group are used exclusively for the education needs of rural students. Application forms and information related to these grants are available from schools or local branch members.
A MESSAGE FROM NARROMINE ANGLICAN CHURCH A last look at Lamentations THE wash-up happened last Sunday for us in our series on Lamentations. I’m still finding curious little things out about this book. The title itself is somewhat later than the book’s content. Hebrew manuscripts call the collection simply ‘How’. This name comes from the opening word of the book. It seems to be aptly named, as the study of the book plus the ministry and life of Jeremiah can leave you with more questions than when you started. One commentator says, these are questions one can struggle and grow with, for a lifetime. While our “God’s people in exile” series took place, the fi nal days of the presidential election in America were going on. Our church discussion
was being shaped by the view that God is over all the nations. Jeremiah believed that all nations and their leaders are directly responsible to God for the kinds of societies they develop. And likewise, in the US election, some searched for comments from the candidates for references to a leader’s responsibility toward God. How the average voter thinks in one place is not the same as another, not to mention representatives of the news media. But in Lamentations, we fi nd that there are essential qualities God expects of a leader. Back then, as the nation of God’s people, when the leader failed to follow these essential guidelines, judgement was the consequence. A focus of Jeremiah’s ministry was to point the leaders to fulfi lling God’s commands. Our look at Lamentations found a moment where the people had a time of resetting themselves, a time to rebuild their lives. Were there parallels in the way that the election played out? Well it seems that Ameri-
cans have refused to accept some divisive ideologies or radical agendas, some gravitating back more to core values. During the year, in our study on the book of John in Chapter 18, we read Jesus saying that he came to testify to the truth. He emphasised the importance of God’s truth; it’s how we can determine what is and isn’t true. Recognising God’s truth, His activity, on our behalf was vital for the leaders in Jeremiah’s day. The American president-elect may seem in another league when it comes to this discussion. But the bible often gives examples of leaders given an opportunity to reset themselves, to start afresh, rebuild. The Lord spoke these words to King Solomon one night as he started out in his reign: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin, and heal their land.” 2Chron.7: 14. Let’s continue to pray, speak, act, and when it comes time, vote, so the tide can turn. By PHILIP HAND

Man charged over alleged break-in, gun theft at Coonamble A MAN appeared in Dubbo Local Court on Thursday, November 21 after he was charged over an alleged breakin, in which guns were stolen from a home just under two hours north of Narromine. Between Tuesday, October 22 and Thursday, October 31, a break and enter occurred at Arthur Street, Coonamble, where fi rearms and personal
items were stolen. Officers attached to Orana-Mid Western Police District commenced an investigation into the break and enter. Following inquiries, police attended a home on Ross Street, Coonamble, at about 3.15pm on Wednesday, November 20 and arrested an 18-year-old-man. Police seized a number of fi rearms during a search of the property. The man was taken to Coonamble Police Station where he was charged with break and enter and breach of bail.
Three adults treated in hospital following alleged stabbing in Dubbo ON Tuesday, November 19 at around 6pm emergency services were called to a house on Eumung Street, Dubbo, following reports of a stabbing and a person being hit by a car. On arrival, officers attached to Orana-Mid Western Police District were told a woman in her 30s had been allegedly stabbed by a male with a pair of scissors and the male was hit by a vehicle. A 36-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Dubbo Base Hospital for further treatment under police guard. A 58-year-old woman was also treated by NSW Ambu-
lance Paramedics before being taken to the same hospital for further treatment. Police established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the incident. All three are believed to have been known to each other.
Register your CCTV with the NSW Police Force CCTV footage has become an important investigative tool for police and footage published by media outlets has assisted investigators in high profi le cases. The Orana-Mid Western Police District is calling for those in the Narromine Shire and beyond to register their CCTV camera on the NSW Police Force CCTV Register. The data is stored in a secure database owned and operated by the NSW Police Force and access is only authorised for law enforcement purposes with no information provided to third parties. NSW Police say they do not want access to your systems but rather just an accurate register of where CCTV is located throughout the district. Registration is entirely voluntary and just because you register with NSW Police does not mean you automatically consent to supplying us with imagery.

NSW Farmers oppose track closures CLOSING regional lines will delay getting food from paddock to plate, add to transport costs, and endanger other road-users, NSW Farmers have warned the State Government. Under draft NSW Freight Policy reforms, a number of key country rail lines across NSW could be closed for good, forcing millions of metric tonnes of grain to be transported by road each year. NSW Farmers Business Economics and Trade Chair, John Lowe, said with the state’s agricultural production only set to increase, the need for better rail freight had never been more pressing. “Efficient, connected freight rail networks are what farmers need to get their worldclass food off farm and into the market,” Mr Lowe said. “We should be upgrading our rail lines, not shutting them down,” he added. He said that rail is safer, cheaper, and reduces greenhouse gases for each and every freight train used on our nation’s tracks. “Switching just one per cent of our nation’s
freight to rail, would slash costs in accidents and emissions by over $70 million dollars a year,” Mr Lowe claimed. “Using more trucks for freight, will only mean more traffic, more hazards, and more wear-and-tear on our roads.” Mr Lowe said upgrades to regional rail lines and improved planning for connections into the Inland Rail, would deliver far greater benefits to the agricultural supply chain than the proposed rail closures. “Increasing the weight carrying capacity of all regional rail lines and properly planning the smaller lines we need to connect farms to ports is essential, so we can have the infrastructure we need to continue to grow production,” Mr Lowe said. “While more trucks aren’t the solution to our transport woes, a better funding model for roads and bridges would certainly also go a long way to repairing past damage and ensuring freight that does travel via road can do so safely,” he concluded.

Country Mayors’ new blood champions regional growth, community challenges
health, roads and transport, skill shortages, connectivity are among those serious issues we’ll be immersing ourselves in, alongside our Government and Opposition, to fi nd potential solutions,” he said.
By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN FACING the challenges of the future, it was time for some new blood to take centre stage when the Country Mayors Association of NSW (CMA) held their Annual General Meeting at Parliament House earlier this month. United by common issues facing regional, rural, and remote communities across the state, the Country Mayors said that they are standing together as a fresh team takes the reins for the next two years.
AGM elects new Chair and Executive Board THE meeting involved more than 150 mayors from regional and remote communities across the State with the Mayor of Temora Shire Council, Councillor Rick Firman (OAM) endorsed as Chair. Bega Valley Shire Mayor, Cr Russell Fitzpatrick then narrowly won the vote for Deputy Chair over Armidale Regional Council Mayor, Cr Sam Coupland. Narromine Shire Council Mayor, Cr Ewen Jones made the trip to Sydney to attend the AGM and have his say in the new leadership of the CMA at which more than 130 eligible votes selected seven candidates from a field of 13 for the Executive Board. Deputy Mayor Stacey Bohm and General
Both sides of government renew support for country councils Ewen Jones met the Local Government Minister, Ron Hoenig MP, at the conference and AGM. Manager Jane Redden also made the trip. Elected to the executive board of the CMA were Cr Phyllis Miller OAM (Forbes Shire Council), Cr Sam Coupland (Armidale Regional Council), Cr John Medcalf OAM (Lachlan Shire Council), Cr Sue Moore (Singleton Council), Cr Josh Black (Dubbo Regional Council), Cr Russell Webb (Tamworth Regional Council), and Cr Sharon Cadwallader (Ballina Shire Council). The newly elected board will serve a two-year term until 2026. Newly-elected Chair, Cr Firman, was delighted with the outcome of the AGM. “We have an ideal cross-section of our membership on our

board, from small rural to larger regional councils, from remote inland to coastal mayors,” he said in a statement. “Many mayors attended the AGM with the general manager or CEO, and there were two votes per council, and the results were very close and a motion was passed that should a vacancy occur on the board, an eighth place would fi ll it and so on.”
Mayor Firman’s commitment to local government THE new Chair has been in local government since 2004 and was elected as Temora Shire Deputy Mayor in 2009, being
elevated to the position of Mayor in 2012. Cr Firman has had a decorated career in local government, serving since 2016 as the Chair of the Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils Board as well as the Commissioner on the NSW Local Government Boundaries Commission. Most recently, he was appointed to the NSW Regional Health Ministerial Advisory Panel last year. Cr Firman said he will use his time as Chair to work with all levels of government to push for change across regional, rural, and remote communities in NSW. “Housing, rural crime,
GUEST speakers at the AGM included NSW Opposition Leader and Leader of the NSW Liberal Party, Mark Speakman, NSW Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan, and NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison. “We greatly appreciate our State and Shadow Ministers for taking the time to communicate directly with our Country Mayors,” Cr Firman said. The evening before the AGM, Minister for Local Government, Ron Hoenig also attended a special dinner with the CMA. “I want councils to be preferred employers of choice, I want to reverse the trend of outsourcing and sub-contracting in Local Government,” Minister Hoenig said in a speech at the evening dinner. “Council procurement and local, long-term jobs are too important for country communities.”

“DEB balls”, as they are affectionately known in Australia, have long been a tradition, particularly in rural, regional and remote communities. While originally perceived as an opportunity for families to present their teenage daughters to society with a view to securing an eligible partner, this concept has long since shifted to acknowledging the participants as young people emerging into the world of adulthood. Many “deb balls” are held nowadays in Australia for the purpose of fundraising - and Narromine’s special event last week was no different. The Narromine High School P&C were looking for different ways to raise funds for their school community outside of the regular bake-andcake stalls and decided a “deb ball” would be the way to do it. “We put our heads together and went, there hasn’t been a deb ball in Narromine for years. If we look at our school students, they are the right age – 16 to 17 – and the ones who would be doing it,” Kat explained. “So why wouldn’t the P&C put one on for them?” The P&C received an overwhelming response to their call-

out for expressions of interest. Six months and much planning later, it was game on. Or rather, dancing-shoes on! The high school hall was the perfect venue for the event, which could comfortably accommodate the debutantes’ family and friends, teaching staff, and ensure it remained the alcohol, smoke and vape-free event the P&C envisioned, Kat said. The fundraising came to fruition through a mix of entry fees to the event, and the option to buy a delicious range of items on the night made by the school’s hospitality students, including grazing platters, “mocktails”, and desserts. Non-alcoholic drinks were also on sale on the night, with the bar staffed by some very keen teachers. After expenses, the P&C expects the funds raised from the event will exceed $4,000. These funds will be used to support Narromine High students in various endeavours that they may otherwise not be able to afford. Will the deb ball become an annual event, the Narromine Star asked. It’s quite possible, Kat said, if interest remains high and the P&C can raise additional funds through grants, sponsorship and donations. If you would like to know more about supporting future deb balls, reach out to the Narromine High P&C Association.

COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member arkes for Parkes
Valedictory speech IT was an incredible honour to deliver my valedictory speech to the House of Representatives last week, just short of 17 years since I was elected as the member for Parkes. I was really pleased that all my family and a lot of friends and supporters from the electorate, as well as current and former staff, were able to travel to Canberra to be there in person. I couldn’t have done this job for the past 17 years without their support and my speech was an opportunity to thank all those who
AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D SAUNDERS, ERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo LAST week marked the final sitting week of the NSW Parliament for 2024, and it was a busy one to round-out the calendar. A couple of the week’s highlights were a Community Recognition Statement for Swift Street Antenatal Clinic for receiving a Commonwealth Champion of Medicare award, and a Private Members Statement to recognise Mark Coulton following his valedictory
JUST shy of 17 years since he was fi rst elected as the 1029th Member of the Australian Parliament, Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, recently delivered his valedictory speech in the House of Representatives. In a tradition going back decades in which retiring MPs make a farewell address to their colleagues on their time in the Parliament, Mr Coulton took the opportunity to thank his family, friends, supporters, and current and former staff — many of whom travelled to be there in person —– as well as his wife, Robyn, who had been by his side every step of the way, he said. “We decided to do this as a team,” Mr Coulton added. “So, for the last 18 years — we spent a year campaigning beforehand — we’ve travelled together, and in a big year we’ve probably spent the equivalent of 20 40-hour weeks a year in the front of a car — Robyn reading the emails and me dictating messages back to the office.” Mr Coulton spoke of the great diversity and uniqueness of the Parkes electorate which, he said, is much more than just the agricultural and mining industries that underpin the economy. He said there are so many projects
have played a part in this journey. I also took the opportunity to highlight some of my achievements over the years. But it’s some of the more personal small differences and policy changes I’ve been involved in that are positively impacting people’s lives that I’m most proud of. In my very fi rst speech to parliament, I said that I have a deep and unshakeable belief in inland Australia, and I still believe that today. It holds the keys to the future prosperity of our country, but regional Australia should not be taken for granted. I’m becoming increasingly concerned that the regions are being compromised so that city-dwellers can feel good about saving the planet. So, my fi nal message to parliament was to stop treating regional Australia as a magic pudding for reducing emissions, or future generations will be forced to worry about
food security. We also need to stop making our children fearful of the future and instead reassure them that they live in the best country in the world and have every opportunity to succeed in life.

Insincere On Farm Connectivity Program MANY farmers in my electorate have missed out on claiming rebates to purchase smart farming equipment after the On Farm Connectivity Program closed less than a week after applications opened. It’s baffling that all $18 million of round two was exhausted in less than one week when round one, worth $15 million, was open for six months! It’s obviously been a very popular program, but something isn’t adding up. The insincere application process has only created frustration and disappointment amongst suppliers and growers. This process needs to be re-

Mr Coulton also thanked his National Party and Coalition colleagues for their support over the past 17 years, with many in the Chamber to hear his address.

Social media age limit
Super tax concerns
LAST week the Labor government introduced its legislation to enforce an age limit of 16 for social media, including Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and X. The coalition committed to implementing an age limit of 16 back in June because it’s clear that social media is creating a problem for our young people. Our children are vulnerable and while limiting access to anyone under 16 does have some merits, it is a vexed issue. A big problem is age verification. I’ve been contacted by a number of my constituents who are concerned about this legislation for various reasons, but the major one is privacy concerns. I understand these concerns and agree that we don’t need to be giving social
LABOR has refused to rule out forcing farmers to pay tax on the unrealised capital gains of their farm, if the property is held in a self-managed super fund (SMSF). In Parliament House last week, agriculture minister Julie Collins confi rmed that farmers would have to fi nd the cash to pay the tax even if they have a failed season with no income. Minister Collins’ response was really quite chilling. She clearly had no understanding or concern of the enormous fi nancial hardship that this decision will make for so many farmers. Farmers have been using SMSF for succession planning and these changes will mean many farms will have to get sold to pay tax on unrealised gains.

Perfect cricket Saturday for Narromine Junior Bombers
FOUR wins from the four matches played made it a perfect day for Narromine Junior Bombers in the Dubbo District Junior Cricket Association games last Saturday. In a solid result, Narromine Junior Bombers’ 14A side secured a three-wicket win against Rugby/Macquarie 14A at Dundas Park after Rugby/ Macquarie batted first and posted a solid 9/106 off 20.1 overs. In the attack, Narromine’s wickets were shared around with Logan Press (2-12) picking-up the only double, while Charlie Furney (1-9), Charlie

romine Hospital Auxiliary and Narromine Aviation Museum. Many of these volunteers are often part of multiple community groups lending a hand to those who need it most. Mayor Jones spoke at the event as someone who has, himself, been a local volunteer for the past three decades. “Volunteering is very important to me, having been one… if we don’t have [volunteers] in our community, we don’t have a community — it’s as simple as that,” Cr Jones said. “People in this room, as well as people from the Rural Fire Service, State Emergency Service, and VRA Rescue, our community would not be able to function without them. “We all want them there in times of need and it is very impor-
tant for our community,” he added. The Mayor reflected on the work done by community service groups and highlighted the need to encourage young people in the shire to pull up their sleeves and help out where they can. “I hope that we can somehow get the younger generation to come up and put their name forward,” he said. “[To] all of our service clubs, our emergency services, ‘thank you’ for what you do,” he added. The COVID-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis has had a large impact on the state of the volunteering industry — with many people unable to afford to give up their time to help their community, despite wanting to do so. According to the NSW State
of Volunteering report, the annual cost of volunteering has risen per volunteer from just over $1920 to in 2020 to a whopping $3115 in 2023. It has led to the tough decision by the Rotary Club of Narromine to stop operating their Rotary food van, regularly seen at events all over the shire, due to a lack of volunteers and an ageing cohort. Nesto Falcioni from the group revealed to the Narromine Star that the last event for the Rotary food van will be the Venetian Carnival next month. “The van stops at the end of the year, so everybody has got to come and buy something from us at the Venetian Carnival,” Mr Falcioni said. Another volunteer, 90-year-old Iris Bohm, is still volunteering
and admits she is slowing down now. Iris first began helping out community organisations in need when her own children were grown up, many decades ago. “I started volunteering because I had to keep busy and my husband worked long hours,” she told the Narromine Star. Iris is still a regular at the weekly Food Barn run by the St Andrews Uniting Church in Narromine and manages the Church’s garage sales. Mayor Jones said the Volunteers’ Morning Tea was important so that each person that serves the community knows just how much they are valued. “It is very important. This town cannot function without volunteers… we need younger people coming into replace the older people,” he concluded.
Ward (1-11), William Attenborough (1-13), Luis Robertson (115), and Dylan Paulston (1-0), all claiming scalps. In reply, Narromine were 7-26 at one stage before a brilliant rescue mission from William Attenborough (37 not-out) and Logan Press (29 not-out) secured an unlikely victory. In the end, their unbeaten 83run eighth-wicket partnership took Narromine 14As to a total of 7-109 and, ultimately, victory. The Narromine Junior Bombers 14B also had a good win against Rugby Union in Dubbo after Rugby won the toss and elected to bowl fi rst. Narromine’s 14B side posted a daunting 3-140 off its 28 overs, before dismissing Rugby for 54 (22.1 overs). Among the batters, Digby
MacInnes (28), Jaxon Morrissey (26), Lewis Henderson (24), and Hugo Kinsey (14), all did well at the top of the order with all players retiring not-out. With the ball, Fred Anderson (4-4 off three overs) ripped through the Rugby top-order and had plenty of help with Albert Anderson (1-1), Jaxon Morrisey (1-1), Lachie Watt (1-2), Henry Redden (1-4) and Digby MacInnes (1-8) all claiming wickets. In the Under-12s action, the Narromine Junior Bombers’ 12B White side defeated RSL Colts White by 24 runs at Olsen Park. Alexander Roberts (30), Patrick Stanley (15 not-out), Digby Flinn (14 not-out), Nicholas Veech (12) and Sam Short (10) all made double figures. All the batters either retired or
were not-out in Narromine’s total of 153 off 20 overs. In the attack, Alexander Roberts then had a great allround day, taking 3-15 with the ball as RSL Colts White made a respectable 129 in reply. Among the other bowlers, Charlie Davis (1-6), Edward Barrett (1-13), Nicholas Veech (1-15) and Sam Short (1-13) also claimed wickets for Narromine 12B White. Narromine’s 12B Red side, scoring 135, also had a tight finish, defeating Dubbo Macquarie on 122, in the 20-over clash at Dubbo’s Lady Cutler Oval. In the match, Narromine 12B Red won the toss and elected to bowl (according to Play HQ). Better bowlers with the Kookaburra included Edward Heckendorf (2-18), Bede Red-
den (1-2), Annabelle Gibbs (110), and Hugo Duff (1-15). Players to reach double figures when retiring not out for Narromine 12B Red included Henry McIntyre (18), Hugo Duff (15), Jaggar Smith (13), Edward Heckendorf (11), and Ted Robertson (10). Narromine 12 A had a bye for day. In matches this weekend, all under-12 sides travel to Dubbo where Narromine Junior Bombers 12A play Newtown, Narromine’s 12B White side play Wellington Mixed B Gold, and the 12B Red play Gilgandra Lightning. Across the Under-14s, Narromine Junior Bombers 14A play RSL Colts at Dubbo and the 14B side has a home game in Narromine against Newtown.

Tracey from the SES gets ready to take some young participants out in the SES boat. By SHARON BONTHUYS DURING the last school holidays, a unique community outreach program introduced a group of young people from Trangie and Narromine to the Macquarie-Wambuul River, fostering Cultural immersion, community trust-building, and mental health resilience among participants as they paddled in kayaks all the way from Dubbo to Warren. Over six days, the group of 12 young people and their adult program coordinators paddled approximately 200 kilometres along the Healing Paddle route, learning a lot about the river, the work of fi rst responders, and themselves along the way. The Paddling Pathways Program was made possible by THRIV3 (pronounced “Thrive”), a local non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering transformative change in communities. The name is an acronym for “Transforming Hearts through Respect, Innovation, Vitality”, through the three (3) pillars of education, empowerment and engagement. Youth from Trangie, Narromine, and Moama participated in the free school holiday paddle, said THRIV3 founder and director Pat Skinner. “This program is for youth aged between 13 and 17 and the idea is to connect kids from rural communities with the work of government, emergency services, local trades and agricultural businesses,” Pat explained. “A lot of the kids in the program may not be able to afford

it or have the ability to do it, so we give them the opportunity,” he added. The program was provided free to participants, funded by THRIV3 with the support of sponsors.
Bonding with emergency services THE group paddled from Dubbo to Warren over the course of almost a week, stopping on riverbanks along the way where a range of on-shore activities would be undertaken. Paddling in groups, four adults would accompany six young people on the river in stretches. When they stopped in Narromine during the journey to Warren, the group had paddled from Brummagen about 30 kilometres away, and were welcomed by a host of local emergency services who held an expo. Pat said the expo helped show the young people what emergency services did, potential career and volunteering pathways, and to show them that fi rst responders were there to help them. “Some of these kids come from backgrounds where they may not trust emergency services, and [the fi rst responders] are here to alleviate that,” Pat explained. Participating groups included the Rural Fire Service, Volunteer Rescue Association NSW, State Emergency Service, Community Corrections, Police, Fire and Rescue NSW, as well as representatives from the Defence Forces.

workers, tradies and other interested parties also attended.
Helping young people thrive BORN in Narromine and raised in Trangie, Pat says he gets a great deal of satisfaction giving back to the community through the THRIV3 organisation he founded. “It’s good to see the change in the kids, from possibly having an anti-social attitude to life to smiling, having a laugh, and enjoying the journey,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for them to get out and see a bit of their own country. We do a lot of Cultural activities as well.” The program supports young people from a diverse range of gender identities and cultural backgrounds, with a focus on addressing mental health, teaching resilience and coping mechanisms, while teaching the Cultural significance of things through “Caring for Country”. The young people also learned about water ecology, how the river flows and water-safe ways and pathways, Pat said. Prior to starting the paddle in Dubbo, participants undertook an intensive training session where they learned to use the kayaks safely and to help others in an emergency on the water. “They went through a whole training session where they learnt how to capsize and safely recover, and we did swim tests, and taught them how to rescue one another [if needed]
so they would be able to perform a full rescue by themselves,” he explained.
What did the kids think? KALEB, 16, said he liked everything about the program and enjoyed being on the river. “It’s good to learn new stuff,” he said. Tawhiao, 14, said the program was a great opportunity for local young people to learn new things. “We’ve never done this before and it’s taken us out of our comfort zones. There’s still so much more to learn,” he added. Charlie, 15, also enjoyed the program which he described as tough but fun. “It’s getting easier along the way,” he said. Kye, 14, enjoyed the program’s camping, swimming and paddling, while Nash, 13, said the six-day program was “good exercise”.
The wrap-up and the future A WEEK of travelling on the river was tiring but stimulating, Pat reflected. “These kids overcame a lot of battles while paddling along the river,” he said. “They were defi nitely tired by the end of the week but, in themselves, they were proud. They also understood the adults that were their mentors for the week were also proud of them,” he added. He said that when the young
Russell Everingham funerals
people were collected by their parents at the end of the journey, they were proud to have overcome the challenges they faced along the way. While the learnings from the trip are yet to be evaluated, Pat said that he personally had learned a lot from the experience. “I learned that a lot of country kids are resilient and can be pushed beyond normality, which is good, but they also just want to get in and give it a go, no matter what it is, due to the lack of options they have out this way,” he said. “The other thing I learned is that there is a real keen interest in kids becoming instructors. We’ve now pushed on from the Paddling Pathways program, and are building a traineeship program.” Earlier this week, following recent try-outs, THRIV3 announced on social media that five young people are set to embark on the THRIV3 Trainee Paddling Program 2024-2025, with two instructor trainees. The non-profit has also been officially registered with the Australian Charities and Notfor-Profits Commission, backdated to January 2024, which means that any donations made to the organisation since then are now tax-deductible. THRIV3 aims to hold the Paddling Pathways program on the Macquarie-Wambuul at least annually, so if you’d like to know more about the possibility of your child participating in a future paddle from Dubbo to Warren, reach out to THRIV3 via their website.

Narromine Public School News By NARROMINE PUBLIC SCHOOL
Our 100-point heroes! EARLY Stage One and Stage One students last Monday celebrated their 100-point rewards offered to those who show exemplary behaviour and represent Narromine Public School values. Pupils that had earned 100 points in the scheme, were able to choose between an afternoon of board games, toys, or an art session. Well done to all students on your wonderful behaviour!
Power of teamwork LAST week’s positive behaviour for learning (PBL) focus for the week was, “Standing Together”. Under this program, we’re learning how to work as a team to support each other and build on each other’s strengths. Working together to solve problems can also help us be successful, and cooperation is just as important as listening to everyone’s ideas. By standing together, we can accomplish so much more and make sure everyone feels included and supported.

Royal Far West Coordinator, Kylie McKinnon and K-2 Relieving Assistant Principal, Molly Fisher, both waved the flag in Canberra last week for rural and remote students. The two — alongside Royal Far West, Australia’s only national charity dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of our nation’s rural and remote children — had been invited to participate in discussions with the Federal Government aimed at improving awareness of the need for support services in country areas. Narromine Public School has worked in partnership with Royal Far West to deliver remote speech and occupational therapy to our students for the past 10 years.

River Treasures KINDERGARTENERS recently enjoyed a visit to the river as part of their geography unit looking at local significant places. The students, along with their teachers, went on a treasure hunt, viewed the river and its surroundings, followed by a fruit break with a go on the playground equipment. All the children enjoyed their little mini-excursion and learning about the great biodiversity that the Macquarie River and Narromine has to offer.

Year Six into Year Seven Transition
Welcome back! Mrs Parkes is returning to Narromine High as a Learning and Support Teacher. PHOTOS: NARROMINE HIGH SCHOOL.
Finding their way, students from St Augustine’s Parish School got a taste of high school last week as part of the transition to high school program at Narromine High.
AS part of their transition to high school program, Narromine High recently welcomed students from St Augustine’s Parish School, so that they could experience an afternoon of fun learning activities. Mrs Doyle’s group firstly took the new group to the Food Technology kitchen and decorated some very festive gingerbread men and reindeers, followed by a very competitive game of handball. Mrs Bowen took her group to the Agricultural Plot, where the students saw the new baby calves and planted sunflower seeds to take home. It was a fabulous afternoon, and the School community can’t wait to see these new chums on their next visit!
New VET Courses and Pathways INTRODUCTION of two new Stage Five VET courses that further expand the pathways Narromine offers to students were announced earlier this month. The new courses include Certificate I in Agriculture and Early Commencement Certificate II in Hospitality that are now available to students to provide hands-on training and skills that directly link to in-
dustry opportunities. In addition, Narromine is also launching a Certificate II in Fitness program for the fi rst time in 2025 that will be available to Year 11 students. These courses, along with the usual VET offerings such as Construction, Hospitality, and Primary Industries, offer pupils a range of exciting and practical pathways to pursue fulfi lling careers in industries that are thriving and in-demand.
Order your school uniforms for 2025 NARROMINE High students are looking extra flash this term, after the introduction of a school dress as a uniform option. Thanks to the generous work of the P&C committee, the dresses have been a massive hit amongst the students. If you’re wanting to refresh your child’s wardrobe, it is highly recommended that you place an order now to ensure stock is ready for the 2025 school year.
Welcome Back Mrs Parkes! JEMIMA Parkes is a proud local resident of Narromine and a passionate advocate for public education. The School is delighted to announce that she is returning to work on a part-time basis as the Learning and Support Teacher. In this new role, Ms Parkes looks forward to working closely with the school community to support our students in achieving their best outcomes.

By ST AUGUSTINE’S PARISH PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWS
Lunch on the Lawn STUDENTS in their fi nal year of primary school at St Augustine’s Parish School have celebrated their last ever lunch on the lawn with friends, family and the school community. As Term Four enters the last couple of weeks, Year Six students are gearing up to say goodbye to their time in “little school” and say hello to their new start in “big school”, with many students ready to move
onto their next chapter of their lives. We are going to be very sad to see our Year Six students graduate from primary school but we are so incredibly proud and excited to see where they go next!
Hot weather and summer rays embraced by students LAST Friday, November 22, our students were enjoying a beautiful, hot and sunny day during lunchtime.
Students embraced the sunshine last week by taking full advantage of the school grounds.
All students did a very good job of making sure they were sun safe - wearing both sunscreen and their hats. Students across all year groups played outside on the play equipment, the sand pit and some kids even played a friendly game of soccer and cricket as they soaked up the beautiful weather! We love seeing our kids letting their light shine and we are just so lucky to have a school full of students who love taking advantage of the school grounds when the weather is good!
Great day of competition at Yabbies Annual Swim meet
OUR kids big and small love the buddy program at St Augustine’s. Next year our Little Saints will be our Kindergarten students and their Year Six buddies who will look out for them on the playground and be a friendly face to help them adjust. This week we have been interviewing our 2025 Little Saints students and places are fi lling up for our year long transition program. Call our school office for

Big win in Fours Championships By JOHN EDWARDS
Highlight of their calendar year, Macquarie Yabbies Swim Club hosted their annual swimming carnival earlier this month, with dozens of visiting swimmers from other clubs. PHOTO: MACQUARIE YABBIES SWIM CLUB. By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN AND MACQUARIE YABBIES SWIM CLUB IN the highlight of their calendar year, Macquarie Yabbies Swim Club hosted their annual swimming carnival on Sunday, November 17. The event involved a total of 153 swimmers on the day — 38 of these were Macquarie Yabbie Swim Club members — with the remaining competitors all as guests from 15 other visiting swim clubs.
There was some challenging weather to deal with at the carnival but, all in all, the children had a great day, a Club spokesperson said. “We are so thankful for all of our volunteers and sponsors we had on the day and we could not have done it with you all!” the spokesperson enthused. “Thanks to our volunteers, the day ran extremely smoothly and all competitors had a blast while swimming,” they concluded.

Little Saints
NARROMINE’S Club Fours Championship came to a climax last Saturday with the team of Kerry Martin, Danny Carnevale, Peter Cross, and Ben Clark triumphing over the side of Joey Micilic, John Woolfe, Murray Woolfe, and Henry Buttsworth by a score of 35-10. Some good bowls were played by both sides, however, a 17-shot break-away in five ends is a lot to pull back. Congratulations to Ben and his team and commiserations to Henry and team. Congratulations also to an up-and-coming bowler, Duane Faro, and his partner, Brad Teague from Caragabal Bowling Club, for contesting the 2024/25 Rookies Pairs State Finals at Raymond Terrace last week. The boys played extremely well to win their section and make the quarter-finals, where they just fell a bit short of going all the way. Well done guys, you’ve done your clubs proud.

Sport Rating bush footy sides, podcast LeagueCastle’s off-season debate By DALLAS REEVES WHAT do country footy fans do in summer, has just been answered by a Newcastle-based podcast that has just run a poll of rugby league fans in the country. The podcast “LeagueCastle” aims to keep supporters entertained in the off-season, and recently sparked debate about bush rugby league when it ranked the top 150 sides across the State. While LeagueCastle founder and host, Chris Macpherson admitted there is no exact science to getting this task 100 per cent correct, it is entertaining. LeagueCastle is a podcast that started in 2018 as a general sports show and has since focused on rugby league. Newcastle Rugby League, the Newcastle and Hunter Rugby League, Central Coast Rugby League and Group 21 (Hunter Valley) are the main competitions LeagueCastle covers. The idea to do this, came from NewsCorp’s 2024 ranking of the top 43 bush rugby league teams. The LeagueCastle list of 150 was much different and relative criteria was used to rank sides, weighing in their season results, and then defining a roughly-comparative standard of the competition they played in. Across the PPNS News Media readership area, central west sides in the top 150 rankings were, in ascending order, as follows: Gilgandra Panthers (Castlereagh League, 136th); Narromine Jets (Castlereagh League, 107th); Orange Hawks (Peter McDonald Premiership, 96th); Nyngan Tigers (Peter McDonald Premiership, 60th); Dubbo Macquarie Raiders (Peter McDonald Premiership, 50th), Orange CYMS (Peter McDonald Premiership, 35th); and Dubbo CYMS (Peter McDonald Premiership, 17th). Three-time defending Newcastle Rugby League champions, Maitland Pickers finished at the number one side, with six of the top 10 coming from that competition. Chris did admit there had
been some parochial feedback for Dubbo CYMS to be ranked higher, admitting that the club’s LeagueCastle positioning had been one of the more controversial ones alongside 2024 Clayton Cup winners Camden (32nd) and Group 21 premiers Scone (18th). “The Fishies fans are certainly passionate and we’re aware they have been a powerhouse … but this was a marker on what they had done this year,” Chris said. The parameters that LeagueCastle used involved competitions being essentially divided into three tiers, with major competitions holding a Tier One ranking. The LeagueCastle team saw these to be Newcastle Rugby League, Illawarra Rugby League, Canberra Regional Rugby League, and Western Region’s Peter McDonald Premiership. Traditional “group competitions” had a Tier Two status, according to League Castle. Some of these groups included Group 6 (Macarthur), Group 7 and 16 (South Coast), Group 9 and Group 20 (Riverina), Group 4 (North West NSW) and Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League. Following that, competitions like Castlereagh League and Woodbridge Cup in Western NSW, Hastings League on the North Coast and many others were seeded as Tier Three competitions. With Castlereagh League having first and reserve grade competitions and having group status under the former Country Rugby League, perhaps there was an argument it could have been considered a Tier Two league, but Chris said having to make hard decisions was all part of the fun. And while people can and have critiqued the final LeagueCastle rankings, there can be no denying that a significant body of research was done. Wilcannia Boomerangs, an Outback Rugby League club, came in 118th and the only reason a side from the also-remote Barwon Darling Rugby League wasn’t included, is because the
LeagueCastle team couldn’t access competition results from playrugbyleague.com. Chris drives most of the content at LeagueCastle, but he also works with Josh Spigelman, a former Fox Sports statistician, who now assists Newcastle Rugby League clubs with data. “It’s very much designed as a way to get more coverage out there for the local rugby league competitions we cover,” Chris said. “It was something to draw some eyes to the broader bush footy landscape and get people talking in the off-season, which it has achieved.” The LeagueCastle team utilised: www.playrugbyleague. com to evaluate regular season ladders and finals series results. A club had to have a side in to be the top grade of any respective competition to be eligible. In just one competition (Newcastle and Hunter Rugby League) this reduced to amount of clubs eligible from 40 to six. “It was hard to assess … you had to have a look at some of the playing lists and have conversations with people involved in respective competitions, how (representative) teams have performed in country championships,” Chris said. “It isn’t a perfect metric, but it is a raw sum if you will … it was a lot of fun to do, “I’ve been pleasantly surprised, that the majority of the debate has been positive.” The poll, he adds, shows the interest that dedicated fans have in their favourite side. “People are passionate about their teams. We know bush footy is tribal, people have a view on things,” Chris said. “When you are looking across the best part of 30-odd leagues, and teams ranging from towns of a couple of hundred people to major cities like Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra, and the breadth and width of the state, there is no-one that could be across all those things perfectly.” Final list builds debate, both on rankings, and eligibility
Chris even pointed to clubs to debate around whether teams playing in the Macarthur Premiership competition, which included Clayton Cup winners Camden (18th), can be considered bush clubs. Many people now view the Macarthur region as a part of Sydney, but traditionalists from old Group 6 argue that many of the clubs emerged when their districts were country areas not part of Sydney before the urban sprawl. De La Salle Caringbah (31st) is based in Sydney, but played in the Illawarra competition, so were assessed as a bush club. “It’s led to really interesting about who should be the top teams, but also what should be the criteria,” he said. “Everyone has a different viewpoint … and that what makes bush rugby league and the country and rural rugby league that now all falls under the New South Wales Rugby League so interesting.” Two sides from Western Region, Peter McDonald Premiership runners-up Parkes (10th) and premiers Mudgee (fourth) made the top 10, which only included sides from either the PMP, Newcastle Rugby League, Canberra Regional Rugby League or Illawarra Rugby League. Dubbo CYMS (17th) were eliminated by Mudgee in a gripping PMP preliminary final, while Orange CYMS (35th) were knocked out in week one of the play-offs. Dubbo Macquarie (50th), Nyngan (60th) and Orange Hawks (96h) all missed the PMP play-offs. Macpherson said the LeagueCastle team received positive feedback about how both the Gilgandra Panthers (sixth in competition, 136th overall) and Narromine Jets (third in competition, 107th overall) performed in Castlereagh League. As a marker, Woodbridge Cup premiers Manildra finished 82nd, while Castlereagh League champions Coolah were 69th. LeagueCastle is now allowing the people to decide their best
bush footy club of 2024, with the top 32 sides moving into a people’s choice competition.

Bombers’ second grade wins T20 clash, to sit atop Pinnington Cup PROVING their versatility, a change in format didn’t slow down the impressive run of Narromine’s Second Grade outfit in Dubbo District Cricket Association Pinnington Cup action. The Pinnington Cup’s seventh round were all Twenty-20 matches and Liam Wherritt’s 5-17 off four overs was vital as Narromine defeated Newtown Tigers at Dubbo’s Victoria Park number three oval last Saturday. The Bombers’ Second Grade (on 28 points) now sits atop the Dubbo District Cricket Association ladder with five wins, a bye and a no-result from the opening seven rounds. Narromine skipper Doug Potter is typically aggres-
sive and enjoyed the T20 fixture, slapping 25 from just 15 balls, including three fours and a six. Lewis Goodman fi nished the innings off nicely with 25 not out from 19 balls, while Vice-Captain Kale Bock (19 from 18 balls), Daniel Battishall (20 from 19 balls) and Mitchell Russo (20 not out from 29 balls) all pitched-in as Narromine reached 5-125 from its 20 overs. For the Newtown bowlers, Saad Khan (3-15 off four overs) put the brakes on Narromine, taking the key scalps of Potter and Bock along with Jakob Short (five). For Narromine, Wherritt’s five-wicket haul was vital while Potter (1-12 off
four overs) was economical enough to ensure the Bombers won comfortably enough by 17 runs with the Tigers ending-up on 8-108. Meanwhile, playing in the traditional 40-over one-day format, an excellent team batting effort has propelled Narromine’s Third Grade to a strong win in the DDCA Kelly Cup. Narromine won the toss, electing to bat, and piled-on 5-265 from its 40 overs before restricting Dubbo CYMS Green to 8-194 for a 71-run win at Dundas Park. Zachary Finlay hit 24 off 14 balls at the top of Narromine’s innings to get the Bombers off to a flyer and, from there, Greg Masonwells anchored
the innings with 77 not out from 89 balls. Cameron Collins (51 off 68) was also strong at the top of the order, while Garry Finlay (48 off 26 balls) and Abhilash Reddy Yaalala (22 off 12 balls) all lifted the run-rate while Matthew Smyth (22 not out off 18 balls) and CJ Smyth (10 off 15 balls) also batted well in a true team effort. Despite an unbeaten 93 from Matthew Ellis, Dubbo CYMS Green didn’t challenge the total seriously. Wickets were shared amongst the Narromine bowlers, with Matthew Smyth (2-25 off five overs), Garry Finlay (227 off eight overs), Jack Kingwill (2-42 off six overs), captain Alex Sambrook (1-28 off eight
overs) and Gerard Cusack (125 off seven overs) all claiming wickets, according to Dubbo District Cricket Association Facebook Page where scorebooks are shared. The win lifted Narromine Thirds (now on 15 points) up to 10th place with two wins and five losses after the opening seven rounds. It was a perfect Saturday for Narromine seniors with two wins. Narromine’s third grade plays Newtown Strikers in Dubbo on Saturday, November 30. The Bombers’ second grade side are at home in round eight, playing Dubbo CYMS at Dundas Park.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES WITH several race meetings remaining until the end of the month, apprentice jockey Shayleigh Ingelse has already ridden seven winners from 13 rides since the start of November including a treble on Sunday at Wellington. Dubbo trainer Michael Mulholland to whom Ingelse is apprenticed has supplied six of those winners, Interventionist, Play The Record, Jet Empress, Epic Poem (twice) and Wandering Jack while the other winner Bylong is trained by Brett Robb. Since her fi rst ride in 2021 when apprenticed in Newcastle, Shayleigh Ingelse has recorded 73 winners and her treble at Wellington featured outstanding exhibitions on Bylong, Epic Poem and Wandering Jack. Bred and raced by Dr Bob Slacksmith and Mrs Slacksmith, Bylong made an auspicious debut when winning the 900 metres KFC Wellington Maiden Handicap. Dashing past the leaders in the straight, Bylong ($6.50 to $3.70) staved off stablemate Charlie Magic (Georgina McDonnell, $1.65 to $3.30 favourite) to score by a head with a length to third placed Erion (Shannen Llewellyn, $11 to $9.50).
Raced at Wellington, Sunday, November 17 Last start Dubbo winner Epic Poem was again well handled by Shayleigh Ingelse when solidly supported from $4.60 to $3.40 before working home from midfield to defeat Ms Reeves (Zoe Hunt, $5.50) by a short head with Chesteray (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.60 fav.) fi nishing third in the 1400 metres Elders Insurance Class Three Handicap. Making it two wins and two placings from five starts the five-year-old gelding Wandering Jack (Shayleigh Ingelse, $4.20) was given a cosy run behind the leader Grins (Shannen Llewellyn, $3.80) and fi nished best to win by a long neck with over a length to The Mooch (Mathew Cahill, $5.50 to $3.60 fav.) in the 1100 metres J R Richard’s and Sons Class One Handicap. Placed seven times but without a win after 11 starts, the Mark Howard, Wyong trained Carbrook broke through to win the 1100 metres Grand Hotel and Bottle Shop Maiden Plate. Parked on the fence by Jenny Duggan, Carbrook ($2.25 fav.) was pushed through a gap between the leading pair and then held off the strong fi nishing Polens (Ashleigh Stanley, $51) and Wotastatement (Winona Costin, $11). The consistent Rich Street (Andrew Banks, $5.50) from the Michael Lunn stable at Dubbo was a deserved winner of the 1400 metres Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club Country Boosted Maiden Plate when charging past
the leading pack and racing clear of Kuroshinzo (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.40 fav.) and Goodbye Stranger, Mathew Cahill, $17). Apprentice jockey Jessica Brookes has impressed since joining the Gayna Williams stable at Bathurst and it was a good ride on the Williams trained Gutsy ($5) to take an inside run and score a close win over Sparks (Shannen Llewellyn, $12) and Dehero (Ella Drew, $2.45 fav.) in the 1000 metres Federal Hotel Benchmark 66 Handicap.
Jessandi pounces on leading pack to win Narromine Cup WASHED out in August the Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Narromine Gold Cup was run and won on Sunday by the Mack Griffith, Mudgeetrained Jessandi. Before a good crowd at Narromine, Zounile rushed around the nine-horse field in the early stages of the 1600 metres cup to lead from Lockdown Gamble, Sea Of Flames and Vincenzo with Jessandi given a nice run in fi fth position by leading apprentice Braith Nock. Jessandi ($14) pounced on the leading pack in the straight and won by over a length from Lockdown Gamble (Aaron Bullock, $2.70 favourite), Vincenzo (Ella Drew, $3.60) and recent Moree and Coonabarabran Cup winner Macleay.

GERRIES GOLF NOTES
Small fields for weekend golf LAST weekend saw only small fields for the programmed golf events, no doubt due to the fact that local cricket and Gold Cup races were also held. On Saturday, November 23, a Four BBB event attracted a field of 18 players for a Club Trophy, which was won by Ryan Richardson and Cooper Anning with a score of 45 points. Runners-up were Rob Gainsford and Bruce Fidock, just one point behind on 44. The Nearest The Pin (NTP) winners were Matt Brown on the third and Tim Wiggins on the 17th, while Blake Richardson won the Long Drive on the eighth and the drawn Jackpot was won by Tim Wiggins on the 17th. On Sunday, November 24, another Club Trophy was held, this one a two-person Ambrose event. However, only eight players faced the starter. The winning team was Tony Mann and Duane Faro-Mann, with a score of 62.5. Craig and Clare Duff took second place with a score of 63. Winner of the NTP on the 10th was Paul Bouchier, while Tony Mann took the Long Drive trophy.
Talented apprentice Shannen Llewellyn who rode Macleay had a winning treble at Narromine, Charlie Magic, Threetimesalady and Grins. Owned by David Ringland and partners, the Brett Robb trained Charlie Magic ($2.35 favourite) gained an inside run to account for Hard To Impress (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $3.50) and Avonlee (Georgina McDonnell, $4.80) in the 800 metres Narromine USMC Maiden Plate. Debut maker Penrose in a betting plunge was backed from $40 to $7 but after looking a winning chance when joining the lead entering the home straight fi nished fourth. Shannen Llewellyn then won the 1300 metres QUBE Agri Benchmark 58 Handicap on Threetimesalady ($5.50 equal favourite) for Newcastle trainer John Bannister and completed her treble on the Ross Lomax, Mudgee trained Grins in the 1100 metres Alan Lloyd Memorial Class One Handicap. Rockin’ Edition and Taormina Sailor set the pace with Grins ($3.60 to $3.20) from fourth fi nishing fast out wide under Shannen Llewellyn to beat Romantic Love (Kody Nestor, $3 fav.) by a short half head while Allande (Mikayla Weir, $21) was a close third. Raced by Colleen Dwyer, Peter Dwyer and partners, the Scott Singleton, Scone trained Bush Telegraph with mature age apprentice Ella Drew in the saddle won the 1600 metres Douglas Egan Memorial

Top field take to the Narromine course By NORMAN LEWIS A TOP field of 21 “Geriatric Golfers” took to the Narromine course for the weekly event last Saturday. This included 12 gents taking-on the back nine, where Phil White collected the major prize with a top score of 25 points. Phil is an original “Gerrie” who has been knocking at the door since his return to competition, bagging a great score to fi nally win. Three players then tied on 24 points for second place with Gus Smith taking the prize on a count-back from Ross King and Mal Richardson. Mal McIntyre then collected an unlikely double by winning both last place, and the Nearest-the-Pin (NTP) event. Over on the front nine, a to-
tal of nine ladies took to the course with the scores close throughout before Carole McDonald won the major prize with a tally of 24 points. Second place involved a tie between Anne Harmer and Bev Woods, with Anne winning on a count-back to take second place. It was also close for the NAGA between Marj Kelly and Wendy Jefferies, with the “prize” eventually going to Marj on a count-back, with Gail White winning the Ladies NTP prize. The day featured some pretty good golf from both the men and women. Next Saturday, the girls are on the back nine, and the blokes are on the front. Good golfi ng to all — see you at the 19th!

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN THE wind is blowing and the sun is shining, providing the perfect conditions for Narromine Gliding Club’s annual competition, the Narromine Cup. This event is currently being held at what is regarded as one of the best gliding locations in Australia: an iconic cross-country soaring site that has hosted many successful national and international competitions during its long history. Competitors from gliding clubs across NSW and the ACT have made the trip to our beautiful town for this annual gliding festival, representing the Hunter Valley Gliding Club,
Canberra Gliding Club, Bathurst Soaring Club, Southern Cross Gliding Club (Sydney), and RAAF Richmond Gliding Club (Western Sydney). Gliders from interstate hail from the Geelong Gliding Club, Melbourne Gliding Club, Kingaroy Soaring Club, and the Darling Downs Soaring Club. Only one champion can be crowned the winner of the 2024 Narromine Cup — who will it be? The renowned annual gliding competition began back in 1997 and has been held every year since, excluding the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown years of 2020 and 2021. Narromine Gliding Club
Members from the Hunter Valley Gliding Club and Canberra Gliding Club have made the trip to Narromine for the annual gliding event.
spokesperson, Beryl Hartley, told the Narromine Star the Cup will be awarded to the glider who is at the top of the table at the end of the competition week, which finishes this Saturday. “We do give a physical ‘Cup’, and it is for the glider that has the highest score and the best three days of flying during the competition week,” Beryl explained. Points are awarded to gliding pilots who cover the most distance across the week of competition. While the competition is important, the Narromine Cup encourages veteran and beginner gliding pilots to get out, have a go, and do their best, Beryl said.
Competitors told the Narromine Star that the Narromine airstrip is one of the best locations to glide — a common declaration made by visiting pilots. “Narromine is one of — if not — the best soaring sites in my opinion in Australia,” a member of the Hunter Valley Gliding Club enthused. “I’ve been to many competitions over the years here in Narromine, and it is a very popular site for gliders in the country and overseas,” they added. There are concerns, however, that there might not be much gliding left for the rest of the week, as wild weather was predicted to hit every state
