By TESS VAN LUBECK HIGHLIGHTING our multicultural diversity, Harmony Day was celebrated in Warren last Friday with many local organisations taking part in this unique commemoration.

Originally to be hosted by the Warren Youth Centre, the event was eventually moved to Warren Central School after rain made the centre’s outdoor venue untenable.

Harmony Day is an annual

celebration of Australia’s rich cultural diversity and the benefits it brings to our nation.

The initiative has been running since 1999 and, according to the Australian Department of Home Affairs, reflects that after “65,000 years of First Nations’ cultures, Australia has become home to migrants from nearly 300 different ancestries. Australia’s immigration history has helped build our modern nation.”

This year’s theme for Har-

mony Day was “Everyone Belongs”, which was demonstrated at the Warren event by a pot luck-style feast with meals representing the different cultures of the world.

Dishes prepared by community organisations for Harmony Day included quiche, Johnny cakes, and fried scones cooked by local Elder, Barb Stanley of CatholicCare.

Other food included party pies, Australian and Chinese fried rice cooked by Mission

Australia; hot dogs and Eierkuchen (German pancakes), popular in Germany and the United States, prepared by Barnardos; and tacos and frittatas, popular with Mexicans and Italians, made by Warren Youth Centre. Lastly, Warren Central School made flat breads and dips.

“Thankyou to everyone who organised, cooked and celebrated Harmony Day 2025,” an event spokesperson said.

Harbour VIEW as organisation celebrates its 65th anniversary STARTING as a group for women to get together, enjoy each other’s company, and do good work, VIEW (“Voice, Interests and Education of Women”) celebrated its birthday in Sydney recently.

With a strong presence in country NSW, including the local Warren VIEW Club, the organisation was founded in Sydney in 1960 and has been a strong supporter of The Smith Family charity ever since.

To commemorate the 65th Anniversary of its founding on March 30, 1960, the NSW Governor, Margaret Beazley AC KC, hosted an afternoon tea at Government House.

Her Excellency welcomed of long-serving VIEW members to the event and praised VIEW’s good works in changing the lives of children and young people over many years.

“From its small beginnings in Balgowlah in Sydney’s north to having clubs across the country, VIEW has made an immense contribution to Australian society for over six decades,” Governor Beazley said.

“Founded at a time of great social change in Australia,

ily and disadvantaged young people,” she added.

VIEW National President 2024–25, Elizabeth Birch, joined The Smith Family CEO, Doug Taylor, and more than 100 NSW VIEW members at the Governor’s afternoon tea in Sydney. Members from the three VIEW Clubs which will turn 65 in 2025 — Parramatta, Pennant Hills, and Caringbah — were among the guests.

Ms Birch said she is proud to be leading the organisation in this milestone year.

“We are celebrating ’65 years of connecting in community’, and we have an exciting year planned with new clubs opening and celebrations throughout Australia,” Ms Birch said.

“As The Smith Family’s largest community sponsor of students on the ‘Learning for Life’ program, VIEW is extremely proud of its rich history of support for The Smith Family,” she concluded.

NSW Opposition outraged as Roads ministry swallows Regional Roads’ portfolio

A Minns cabinet reshuffle has meant a removal of the regional roads portfolio leading to outrage from the Nationals. PHOTO: NARROMINE STAR.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN NEWS that the Regional Roads portfolio was being absorbed into another larger one in the fi rst Cabinet reshuffle of the State Labor Government has outraged the NSW Nationals.

On Monday, March 17, Premier Chris Minns announced changes to his Cabinet, triggered by the former Transport Minister, Jo Haylen resigning from state politics after it was revealed she allegedly misused ministerial transport for a personal trip.

The reshuffle has led to John

Graham MLC taking on the role of Minister for Transport, with Member for Maitland, Jenny Aitchison, becoming Minister for Roads and Regional Transport.

The decision to incorporate the Regional Roads portfolio into the Roads ministry has led to an outcry by Shadow Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Dave Layzell.

The announcement, Mr Layzell said, “further demonstrated its lack of care” for regional NSW by the Government.

In a media statement, he

claimed that the change was another step in the wrong direction for country NSW. “We have already seen a complete lack of investment in regional roads in Labor’s most recent budget, and I fear this move will lead to even less of a focus on what we need,” the statement read.

“Our State needs significant upgrades to the Great Western Highway, the New England Highway, the Golden Highway, and the Muswellbrook Bypass and that will require federal support — which means a dedicated Minister here in NSW to

fight for them.”

Mr Layzell suggested that this change was another example of the regions being on the bottom of the Premier’s priority list, after the State Government had previously merged the Department of Primary Industries and the Department of Regional NSW. Other changes to the Minns Cabinet involved State Member for Rockdale, Steve Kamper being sworn in as the Minister for Jobs and Tourism, in addition to his responsibilities as Minister for Lands and Property, Multicultural-

RAIN AND FLOODS MAKE OUR HOMES A BREEDING GROUND FOR MOZZIES Flood water and pools of stagnant water from recent rain have turned many backyards into the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, that spread human disease, such as Murray Valley encephalitis and Ross River virus.

Any still or stagnant water around the home can encourage mosquitoes to breed and increase the chance of people being bitten.

Tips to minimise the chance of a mosquito breeding ground around the home or school: - Remove all water-holding receptacles from around the yard; ,i}Õ >À Þ yÕÃ ÕÌ « Ì « > Ì L>ÃiÃÆ - Keep guttering clear; - Mow lawns regularly and clear vegetation areas of moist, tangled undergrowth;

- Make sure openings of septic tanks and water tanks are covered and screened securely.

Important preventative measures include: - Ensuring all doors and windows, including Þ ÕÀ Ìi Ì] >Ã yÞ ÃVÀii } } ` condition; - Protecting your skin from bites by covering up with long sleeves, pants and socks; - Use insect repellents on any exposed skin. (The best repellents contain the chemical ingredients DEET or picaridin).

Most mosquitoes become active around dusk although some species are active also during the day.

The key time to take special care again mosquito bites is just prior to, and for two hours after dusk.

Know your rights: Free Legal Topics For Seniors diary

Foreign correspondent: Warren local abroad

Archie Weston — taking a bite out of the “Big Apple”

By STAFF REPORTERS SENIORS looking for tips on how to plan for retirement, manage cost of living pressures, make a will, or avoid scams, can learn all that and more from Legal Aid NSW’s free 2025 Legal topics For Seniors diary.

The diary also includes important information on how to navigate challenging legal situations for seniors, including neighbour disputes, and knowing their rights when buying goods

ble from the offices of Legal Aid NSW, state MPs, or public libraries.

“The Legal Topics For Seniors diary has useful cost of living tips as well as information about mortgage stress, tenants’ rights, and how to identify scams and protect yourself from them,” Legal Aid NSW CEO Monique Hitter said.

“We’re proud to provide this wonderful diary to our seniors each year and always get fantastic feedback about how beneficial it is.”

NSW Police encourage community to call in “tips” to Crime Stoppers

Archie Weston, with that classic American culinary staple — beer and a hotdog!

PHOTOS: SUPPLIED.

Archie Weston enjoys the snow in New York’s famous Central Park.

TWO years ago, my partner and I made the leap from Australia to New York City, driven by a desire to experience working in one of the key fi nancial hubs in the world.

At 28, I now work in funds finance at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, navigating the fast-paced world of international banking in The Big Apple.

Adjusting to life here came with its challenges — especially the tiny apartments, fluctuating weather extremes, and rats on the subway! Another adjustment was the tipping culture. Tipping

and services.

The diary is one of the most important resources produced by Legal Aid NSW, helping seniors to understand and defend their rights.

This year, the diary includes artwork by award-winning Aboriginal artist Jasmine Sarin, symbolising the importance of Elders and the knowledge and stories they hold around Indigenous culture and family history.

Free copies are availa-

is expected everywhere including doormen, hairdressers, and hospitality, with some restaurants starting at 25 per cent!

Despite these adjustments, I’ve loved every minute of this experience. I’ve also managed to squeeze in some amazing travel, taking advantage of how close everything is.

So far, I’ve ticked off 11 American states and also made it to Mexico and Europe. The energy, opportunities, and diversity of New York make every day exciting, and I’m keen to see where the journey takes me next.

By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN CRIME Stoppers is helping NSW Police to make a significant impact on crime across the state. More than $13 million worth of drugs and over 305 arrests were obtained in 2024, due to information provided directly by the community.

Across 2024, NSW Crime Stoppers received over 93,000 tips equating to around 250 contacts each day (phone and online), helping Police enforce the law and prosecutors to en-

sure people are held accountable for their crimes, with most reports now made online.

Crime Stoppers has been assisting in the safety and security of communities across the state for more than 35 years.

While fear and uncertainty are some of the major barriers to providing information, Crime Stoppers is reminding the community that information is provided in confidence.

Orana Mid-Western Police Superintendent, Timothy

Chinn, said it is important that the community reports relevant information to Crime Stoppers helping police solve crime.

“With the community’s support, Crime Stoppers has provided significant information to local police over the last few years enabling authorities to address many crimes,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter how big or small that information is: every piece helps. Working as a team creates a safer community for everyone.”

What’s on in Warren?

W YES, folks, there’s lots going on locally and further afield. We’ll give you a brief snapshot here and the challenge for you is to find out further information about an event or activity that may interest you, and go from there. Please support local initiatives, as they are the backbone of our regional communities. f Warren Pony Club is looking for donations of cattle and hay for its April camp.

They’re looking for about 20 head of quiet stock for the two-day camp and 1-2 bales of cereal hay to feed them.

If you’d like to help out and support the club with this activity, contact the Warren Pony Club committee. f The Warren Junior Soccer Committee is busy planning a Mother’s Day Stall for the club’s fi rst home game on May 10, and are seeking donations of crafts or goods to sell on the day.

The stall is in support of the Warren, Nyngan and Tottenham kids, so get behind it and reach out to the club if you’d like to donate. f Avid cyclists might like to head to Mendooran in mid-May for some cycling around the Central West Cycle Trail in conjunction with the Mendooran Food Festival. The “Mendooran Food Cycle Weekend” will raise funds for the preservation of the iconic cycle trail. There are various rides on offer ranging from six kilometres through to the 120km Gran Fondo Mendooran-Dunedoo ride on May 17. f Support the Warren Bulldogs’ major fundraiser to kickstart the 2025 season and buy one of just 300 tickets for sale. Drawn in just over two weeks, there are great cash prizes on offer and better odds than winning the lotto! f Warren unfortunately missed out on the opportu-

nity to have the Flamenco For Everybody show stop in town when it tours western NSW next week. If you’d like to see the show, you’ll need to trek on out to Cobar on Thursday. Worth the drive. f There’s cake to be had at the special Warren IGA 30th anniversary celebration this Thursday morning, March 27, at the store. A little birdie tells us 11.00 am is the time to be there for a slice of delicious celebratory cake, but the event will run for several hours across the day. Get on down and support your town’s supermarket. f The Warren Chamber Music Festival is just six weeks away and is not to be missed.

Organisers have released a short fi lm on social media about the festival, why they do it and what fuels their passionate performances. f Are you playing in the Three Rivers Machinery Twilight Bowls competition this Saturday night? Send

us your photos and what you thought about the event. f Warren and District Junior League training for Under-10s and Under-12s kicks off today, Wednesday, March 26. The club is set to play a Gala Day at Forbes on Sunday week so get your kidlets registered if you’d like them to take part. f The Club House Hotel started its pool competition last week and is seeking eager participants. Apparently “winner takes all” so it’s worth a shot if you’re good with the cue. The hotel’s restaurant and cafe will also be opening soon, another reason to support local business. f Part of the North Western Library Services (NWLS), the Warren Shire Library is asking locals to “have their say” in a NWLS survey. You are not identified in the process, which will reportedly help transform library services across the region into

“an exceptional destination brimming with resources for your learning and enjoyment”. The library will have more details about how to access the online survey. f Warren TAFE is running an *Advanced* Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) course next Monday for people who already hold an RCG competency. f Have you been down to the Warren Men’s Shed lately to see what those hardworking blokes have been up to and what they have for sale? You can also join their group on social media and hear about their projects fi rst-hand. f Trangie is hosting a Community Connect Fun Day at the Wungunja Cultural Centre on April 10 with free sausage sizzle, giveaways, arts and crafts, games, puppet show and more. Dozens of service providers will also be onsite providing info about what they do. Worth the drive.

FRRR-funded barbecue to bring so much joy to seniors

By SHARON BONTHUYS A RECENTLY-ANNOUNCED grant awarded to Warren Health Action Committee is set to bring a lot of joy to the residents and staff of the town’s aged care facility, Calara House.

The almost-$10,000 grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) flagship grants program, Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC), will establish the Calara House Riverside Grill and Chill Barbecue project in an outdoor area at the facility.

Landscaping, pavers, electrical works and more will be installed to help create a beautiful entertainment area which will also house a brand new barbecue.

Chairperson of the Warren Health Action Committee, Rod Sandell, has high hopes for the site once the works are completed. He would like to get together with other likeminded folk, community groups like Rotary as well

FAITH MATTERS

“Our Artist”

By ANNITA CAMPBELL THERE is a story about a lady who took an exclusively private tour of an art exhibition with the talented artist herself.

As the artist explained movement of meaning within each of her works, they came to a piece that caused the artist to stop abruptly. In the transfer and display process, it was clear that this artwork had suffered damage.

The lady doing the tour was mortified for the artist. However, the artist simply explained the brush work plans she had to fi x the damage. “It will be as good as new,” she reassured the onlooker.

You might resist God’s call to be in relationship with you.

You might like the idea of running life your own way. You might even prefer the mess you make. But God is the artist who created you, loves you, and knows how life works best for you.

Like the painting in the exhibition, God is working out a plan to fi x broken human beings. Jesus is the instrument used by the Artist to fulfi ll this plan.

Jesus says, “Look! I am making everything new!” (Revelation 21).

Confess you’ve made a mess of your life without Him. Ask Him on the Plan. Read a Bible to learn how He can make your life new.

as young people, and host a monthly barbecue for Calara House residents.

“The elderly love interacting with young ones,” Rod told the Warren Star.

“I’d love to make it a regular event, and if it’s too cold or wet to eat under the pergola, we can still do a barbecue and just take the food inside,” he added.

“We can keep it going all year round!”

Rod would especially like to involve school children from Warren Central School and St Mary’s Parish School in the still-to-be-developed project.

“There’s a lot of evidence that people who are suffering dementia benefit from the interaction with young children and it does them the world of good,” Rod explained.

The Warren Health Action Committee may be small in number, with just a handful of active members, but it is mighty in what it can achieve for the community. In the past it has raised thousands of dollars in support of the Royal

Flying Doctor Service.

“We want to be proactive about health, not a complaints department,” Rod indicated.

The committee is very grateful to the FRRR for supporting the project, as well as Paul Smith from Warren Rotary Club, whose vision and assistance with applying for the grant funding has been greatly appreciated.

Rod is also quietly appreciative of the estate of the late Harold Gordon Jones, formerly of Collie, whose bequest is administered by the FRRR in support of projects in the local area.

“I can’t acknowledge the Foundation or Paul or Harold enough,” Rod said.

Once the work is done to create the area, and the smick new barbecue is in place and ready to sizzle, Rod hopes the Warren Health Action Committee will hold an event to launch the new project.

A Wander Down Memory Lane

Sis Lefebvre: Lady of the land AHEAD of her 84th birthday on Saturday, local personality Sis Lefebvre sat down with the Warren Star for an interview in the Calara House courtyard and recounted her life in Warren throughout the years.

Warning: Our interviewee Sis doesn’t mince her words, and some readers may fi nd some of the recollections concerning. These are Sis’s recollections of times past, in her own words, as told to the Warren Star.

[My family] always lived in the bush. I grew up out of town on a farm [on the Coonamble Road]. We lived there for a long time and all the kids grew up out there. I had four brothers and two sisters; we were wild bush kids.

Mum and Dad used to have a horse and sulky that we’d take miles into town.

Dad used to do farm work and there was no school so Mum used to teach us. We couldn’t come in [to Warren] to school because we only had one horse.

After a bush education, Sis made it into Warren to join the workforce.

The first job I had was in a cafe [in Dubbo Street]. I was there for quite a while then after that I came to the hospital where I worked for a few decades. I started in the kitchen and cooked for many years there, and [further on in my career] I worked up here [in aged care, looking after the seniors].

I took a break when I got married [to raise a family]. I’ve got one daughter.

Sis went on to speak about the changes she has seen in the town of Warren over the decades, as well as how the logistics of day to day living has also shifted.

— I had to buy two buses and two cars, then I’d drive out to the blocks [cotton fields].

When we weren’t doing that, we [the gangs] were [growing vegetables] doing tomatoes and zucchinis on a farm just out of Warren, or doing the [irrigation] water. If it was raining during the night, I’d have to get up out of bed and drive out and go around the farms and check on the conditions and see if we could work that day.

I was often on the pickers in the cotton. I used to be on one of the really old pickers, and some three-wheelers, for about three or four years. Then they brought in a really big new picker from overseas and they put me on that to trial it [briefly] before they took it back to where it came from. No one was allowed to take photos of it or anything.

Sis Lefebvre in her youth. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. The town was really good.

It had many shops — a jewelry shop, a furniture shop, dry cleaners, a music shop full of instruments — everything you can think of. Warren had five pubs in town, too.

There was a train that used to come right through near where the swimming pool is now. There was a big pub there, too, and a little shop further down. The theatre was a big thing; it was where the pump shop is now.

We used to get a taxi into town with my uncle. He was a buck jumper and the horses he had were being broken in, so they used to buck! He’d take us riding and if we fell off — we used to fall off quite a bit — he’d pick us up by the seat of the pants and chuck us back on!

But very seldom did we ever come to town. [To get supplies, ] Mum used to ring up on the phone and put an order in and [the grocers] would leave it outside for us to collect.

They’d leave it out on Saturday, out the front for the bush people [to collect].

You could leave it there for Saturday, Sunday, even Monday, and it’d still be there waiting for you.

As many would know, Sis also had a formidable presence in the local cotton industry as a “ganger” for many years, running teams of up to 200 cotton chippers.

She was also one of the first to trial the new cotton pickers brought to Australia.

I got into cotton, went out chipping, and had a small team of about 20 chippers. Then the lady who had the big cotton chipping contract and workers, well she died.

I was asked to take over, so I ganged out there along Ellengerah Road and on many farms across the district. Did that for a long time, and would pick all the workers up in the morning

Needless to say, managing that many workers in remote and harsh conditions, brought with it many interesting happenings and characters. And at times, a hint of danger…

Lots of blokes did want to fight and carry on like that [in the chipping gangs]. At a certain farm one time, these nice blokes had come from Sydney.

I gave them a job chipping, [but] I didn’t know they had all these guns packed in their kombi van. They camped out at the farm and [during the night] killed two [feral] cats and tied them to the front of the bullbar, which freaked the farmer out.

He came down that morning [having heard that weekend] that their kombi was full of guns, after locals had seen them speeding off from the pub and the back doors flew open and out toppled a heap of guns onto the street. He hunted them off [the property].

I also had a worker drop dead one morning before chipping. We were standing around

signing on and talking about the weekend ahead. He said he was going to spend the weekend with a bottle of rum, then bam, he’d dropped to the ground, dead.

Another time, a [worker] arrived at my place one weekend, and behind him I could see all these axe holes in his car that was idling in the driveway. He had come to let me know he wouldn’t be at work on Monday ‘cause he’d be in prison. I asked him why, and he told me he was on his way to shoot someone.

I knew [his intended victim] was staying down the road at the old caravan park near the pool. When he left, I thought ‘oh my god’ and rang the people down at the caravan park and told them that when this [potentially murderous] bloke arrives, please get all the men to run to him and hold him down before he gets out of the car. So they did.

Then after decades of such excitement, Sis moved on to semi-retirement but just couldn’t quite give working away…

When I retired, I got working at Warren Vinnies full-time. I used to go every day there until [eventually] I said to the boss “I won’t do it.”

I said, “I’ll have it every Saturday” [go to work]. So that’s what I do. Now I work there on Saturdays.

It wa s a good life . I h a d a good life .

It’s still going, Sis! Sis now resides at Warren’s Calara House, where staff say she remains healthy and active, playing a big part in maintaining the facility’s gardens, feeding the chooks and having a laugh with like-minded people.

State government urges people to be careful and complete checks before donating

By STAFF REPORTERS IN the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, NSW Fair Trading and the state government advises people to be careful and check any organisation’s credentials before they decide to donate.

As communities impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred continue clean-up and recovery efforts, there are warnings to remain vigilant against potential fundraising scams.

NSW Fair Trading wants to inform people the great Aussie spirit that sees many people want to dig deep to help others in a time of need can be taken advantage of by scammers.

The body is warning donors against scammers who often

seek to exploit this goodwill by setting up fake fundraising pages or posing as legitimate charities.

Top tips to avoid fundraising scams include checking credentials and only donate to registered charities with a charitable fundraising licence, to avoid unsolicited requests (be wary of phone calls, emails, or social media messages asking for donations) and research before you donate (use official channels like the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) Charity Register and Verify NSW. “Thank you to the thousands of volunteers across the NSW State Emergency Service and other emergency agencies

who worked tirelessly to assist Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast communities,” minister for emergency services, Jihad Dib, said.

“It speaks volumes that people that want to help but please consider donating to help those in need through GIVIT or another reputable charity you feel comfortable with.

“These charities will ensure people get exactly what they need when they need it.”

People looking to make a financial contribution or to donate other goods such as food or clothing are encouraged to visit the GIVIT website (a non-profit organisation partnering with the NSW and Queensland Governments to support communities impact-

ed by Cyclone Alfred.

GIVIT lists essential goods and services required by people and recovery groups in specific communities and allows people to donate the item or contribute fi nancially towards it.

The list of items is regularly updated as recovery efforts progress.

“It’s inspiring to see the outpouring of support to ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred victims from NSW communities, but we want to ensure donations reach those in need rather than unscrupulous scammers,” minister for better regulation and fair trading, Anoulack Chanthivong, said.

“That’s why we are urging everyone, before donating,

please take a moment to verify that the charity or fundraiser you intend to donate to is licensed and legitimate.

“Unfortunately, scammers will take advantage of people’s goodwill during a natural disaster like ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

“Scammers can be very convincing, often using emotional appeals, fake social media pages, or crowdfunding platforms so please be scam-aware and contact NSW Fair Trading if you are in doubt.”

Suspicious activity can be reported by visiting Scamwatch and NSW Fair Trading.

SPORT RACING NG REPORT ORT

By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Orange on Sunday, March 23 RENOWNED for his skills in advancing gallopers through the grades to win country cups is Dubbo trainer Michael Mulholland who has a serious contender for the $75,000 Orange Gold Cup on Friday, April 11 in the five-year-old chestnut gelding Magnace.

After winning over 1600 metres at Orange, Magnace stepped up to 2200 metres

Magnace the latest Mulholland galloper ready to contend for a country cup to win at Dubbo and back to 1600 metres on Sunday beat a handy field in the Benchmark 82 Angullong Wines Orange Cup Prelude.

Cape Byron (Deanne Panya, $5.50) broke clear in the straight however Magnace (Serg Lisnyy, $3.70 favourite) from well back fi nished very strongly to win by a length with over two lengths to the third placed Rico Suave (Mitchell Bell, $9.50).

First up for Orange trainer Alison Smith after winning several races for Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazelton,

Turgenev charged home to win the 1280 metres Spanline Benchmark 58 Handicap.

In the straight, the heavily supported Check Your Six (Mikayla Weir, $11 to $7.50) burst through the pack and looked the likely winner.

Well ridden by Jordan Quince who is apprenticed to Alison Smith, Turgenev $13) swept down the outside to win by a length from Check Your Six and Chico Casino (Mitch Stapleford, $7).

When several of the members chose to sell their shares in Turgenev some from Gil-

gandra and Orange stayed in the syndicate including Craig Buckley who serves on the board of Racing Orange.

Favourite backers were off to losing start at Orange when the Bjorn Baker, Warwick Farm trained Sassy Abbey was beaten in the 1000 metres Maiden Plate.

Fourth on the home turn, Sassy Abbey (Olivia Chambers, $1.80 to $1.40 favourite) was safely held by the Gary Portelli trained Itzarbaby (Coriah Keatings, $9) while Joy Of The World, Mitch Stapleford, $11) battled on for third.

Later in the day, the Bjorn Baker trained Triple Tempo (Brodie Loy) starting as a prohibitive $1.09 favourite, took the lead at the top of the straight and scraped home by a short neck from the strong finishing, Peter Cornish locally trained Choice Deel (Mathew Cahill, $26) and The Mooch (Ken Dunbar, $15) in the 1000 metres Central West Power Construction BM 58 Handicap.

Yet another good turnout for the meeting on Sunday and a big crowd is predicted for the Orange Gold Cup.

GOLF REPORT

Welcome to a new year of competition and fun

By WARREN GOLF CLUB WELCOME to the 2025 year of golf — fi lled with anticipation, enthusiasm, fun, and companionship!

As we step onto the greens once again, let’s embrace the excitement of the game, the joy of friendly competition, and the special camaraderie that makes our time together so memorable.

Here’s to a fantastic year of great shots, laughter, and unforgettable moments on and off the course. Let’s tee off and make 2025 a year to remember!

Opening round: March 15 THE opening round of com-

petition play for the new year was played on Saturday, March 15. The Kaye and Nigel Martin Trophy Day was a 12hole Mixed American Foursomes event.

We had 13 teams and 26 players, which was fantastic for our opening day. It was great to see some new players taking to the course and putting in their cards. Welcome!

Coming in fi rst, with a score of 37.5, were Jason and Jamie Boyd. Well done, especially you, Jamie. Second place on 42.5 went to Chris and Charles Tilley, and third on 44.5 went to Tish McAlary and Peter Wilson.

Nearest-the-Pins (NTP) on the 16th hole went to Robyn Downey, and on the 13th,

Charles Tilley. Golf balls went to Tish and Peter, John and Didi, and Amanda and Harry.

Congratulations to all the winners and a big ‘thank you’ to Kaye and Nigel for their continued sponsorship to the Warren Golf Club.

Wednesday: March medal/LGU LAST Wednesday, play was for the March medal and fi rst round of LGU in an 18-hole Stroke event. We had 10 players take the course for this, and it was great to see Narelle Whittaker out there showing off her beautiful golf style and bringing home the winner’s trophy.

Narelle’s winning score

was 73 points, just a whisker ahead of Didi Simmons on 74, who in turn was a whisker ahead of Kay Bennett on 75 to take third. A very close fi nish.

Narelle Whittaker also took out the NTP and golf balls went to Chris Tilley. Sandie Moore was the Scratch winner.

Lady Golfers’ Trophy Day LAST Saturday’s match was for the Lady Golfers’ Trophy Day, the March Medal, and fi rst round of the LGU in an 18-hole Stroke event.

On a beautiful summer’s day, 12 ladies played with three new players joining in and playing the day.

Wendy Robinson and Lisa Leatham handed in their fi rst card. A huge welcome, ladies. We hope you enjoy your new sport and to see you here regularly.

First place went to Bec McKay, with Rhonda Darcy second, and Lyn Rawlinson third. It was a great effort from Bec McKay, who was also Scratch winner and the Medal winner, while the NTP prize went to Katrina Chapman. Golf balls went to Bec, Rhonda, and Lyn. Upcoming events include an 18-hole Stableford today, and this weekend, the Leanne Carey Trophy Day, which is also an 18-hole Stableford.

Happy golfi ng, and see you at the 19th!
