Local wheat producer claims top spot in regional competition

River has 17,000 reasons to thrive

By SHARON BONTHUYS

By SHARON BONTHUYS

PARAWAY Pastoral Co (PPC) near Narromine has claimed the top spot in the regional titles of the prestigious AgShows NSW Suncorp Bank Championship Dryland Field Wheat Competition.

Now in its 25th year, organised by peak body AgShows NSW which represents 192 shows, the annual competition recognises excellence in wheat farming across four regions before culminating in a state final.

PPC’s crop led the competition in the vast northern region, which encompasses 28 communities stretching from North Star to Nyngan. With a score of 204 points for a 6.6 tonne-per-hectare yield, PPC surpassed high scoring competitors from Warialda, Ray and Nikki Price, and Gilgandra’s Hassall & Co. Grenfell wheat growers Rob and Mandy Taylor took out the state title for the third year straight.

Judging for the northern region took place between late October and early November 2023, and fi nalists, industry participants and special guests including Dugald Saunders MP and Hunter White from the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, attended a gala dinner in Dubbo on January 12.

THE Macquarie/Wambuul River has more than 17,000 reasons to thrive following the release of another big batch Murray Cod and Golden Perch fingerlings at Narromine and Warren on January 9.

More than 50 people of all ages gathered at Narromine’s Rotary Park boat ramp for the fingerling release, which was part of a NSW government initiative to stock native fish in public waterways.

Six boats ferried eskies full of fi ngerlings downstream from Narromine, while those on foot released bucketfuls of the eight-week-old fish around the boat ramp.

Scott Magill and his daughter Sienna were one of the teams to take to the river on the day. It was the fi rst time that either had been involved in a fi ngerling release.

“We fish the river and it’s good to see public money go back into restocking it,” Scott said.

They were joined by several other families taking out their boats, including Susan and Trevor Willis. The avid river fishers from Minore were also participating in a release for the fi rst time and value the initiative’s positive impact on the river.

“We’ve brought our boat and an esky to help do our bit,” Trevor added.

Narromine resident Robert Webb, a regular at fi nger-

ling releases, was thrilled to see so many people attend this year’s release, particularly young children.

From page 1 PPC’s CEO Harvey Gaynor was pleased with the company’s regional placing in the annual competition.

“As a diversified agricultural business, Paraway values the skills of our cropping teams and appreciates the recognition this competition gives them. Participation in these competitions helps us learn from the judging panel and our peers, so we thank AgShows NSW and the sponsors for their commitment,” he said.

Jack Brennan, now a regional manager managing a number of properties for PPC, described the award as terrific and unexpected, and paid tribute to his team and local agronomists Delta Agribusiness.

“[We had] some terrific agronomic advice out of Delta and our crop advisers, Graeme Callaghan and Will Archer, who are a big part of our business.

“It was a low rainfall year so it was even more pleasing to be able to perform in a year where probably 15 years ago we would not have grown a crop at all.”

Rain fall was also mentioned

by Judge F rank McRae of DLF Seeds Australia.

“Many entries showed outstanding yield potential given the low in-crop rainfall recorded during the growing period, and yield potential varied across the state depending on seasonal conditions.

crops failing and others not being sown. Late rains before harvest affected the final yield and grain quality of some central and southern crops,” he said, indicating the entries selected for the regional finals were of a high standard with excellent agronomic management.

AgShows NSW chair of the wheat competition committee, David Herbert, said the competition holds great significance in the industry. “[This competition] underscores the commitment of Australian farmers to excellence and innovation in wheat cultivation. The event not only celebrates achievements but also provides a platform for industry networking and knowledge exchange,” he said.

Congratulations to Paraway Pastoral Co on an outstanding result.

River has 17,000 reasons to thrive

Those not in boats released fingerlings around the boat ramp.

Some of the young people who participated in the fingerling release at Narromine. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR. From page 1 “A lot of good will come to the river from this event, which allows the river to be restocked,” he said.

A separate release of fi ngerlings was also carried out in the Macquarie/Wambuul River in Warren by residents there.

These events were made possible by the collaboration of the Macquarie Cotton Growers Association (MCGA) and local councils, taking advantage of the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) two-for-one funding through the Recreational Fishing Trust.

This grant program provides two dollars for every one dollar raised by the community to stock native fish in public waters to benefit anglers.

“A thriving river system is really important to our local communities of Narromine and Warren,” said MCGA secretary Nic Risely.

“The Macquarie Cotton Growers Association makes it a priority to partner with local councils to provide funding of $4,500 to support the NSW Department of Primary Industries $2 for $1

ON I CT U A

Native Fish Stocking Program each year.

“The program aims to conserve and protect the unique biodiversity of our inland river system,” Nic said.

“This year’s funding enabled the purchase of over 7,000 Murray Cod and 10,000 Golden Perch fi ngerlings from Tara Native Fish Hatchery in Hopefield. Local families were invited to come and learn about our native fish restocking program, and help with the release of the fi ngerlings into the Macquarie River at two different locations.

“It was great to see so many volunteers, families and young children, buckets in hand, having fun and supporting this worthwhile conservation initiative,” Nic said.

MCGA president Billy Browning was also on hand to see the Narromine release and said the big turnout for the river restocking was fantastic. The positive impact to the river of releasing fi ngerlings to restock the well used waterway was also there for all to see, he said.

“The river is more noticeably healthy with the number of fish being caught along the river.”

“Inverleigh”, Narromine

Off they go to release the fingerlings down river.

Locals wait for Leigh Logan from Tara Native Fish Hatchery to scoop out the fingerlings from the tanks aboard his trailer.

A great day for families to get out on the Macquarie/Wambuul River to help restock the well used waterway.

Meet the shire’s Australia Day ambassadors

By SHARON BONTHUYS NARROMINE Shire’s Australia Day Ambassadors for 2024 have been announced, and they are no strangers to central west NSW. The ambassador for the Narromine community is Coonamble-raised musical icon Michelle Leonard OAM, the 2023 Agrifutures NSW/ACT Rural Women’s Award winner and the founder, artistic director, and conductor of the nationally recognised children’s choir, Moorambilla Voices.

The ambassador for the Trangie community is Condobolin-raised geologist Doug Menzies, Vice President Exploration with Inflection Resources Ltd, responsible for managing the Canadian company’s copper and gold exploration programs.

The Australia Day Ambassadors will visit the Narromine Shire next week as part of a long-running program by the Australia Day Council of NSW. “Now in its 33rd year, the NSW Ambassador program is one of the longest-running and most successful national Australia Day programs that continues to inspire communities across the state,” said Australia Day Council of NSW Chair, Andrew Parker.

“These Ambassadors represent our true Aussie qualities, like community spirit, kindness and mateship.

They will be sharing their personal stories and connecting with diverse communities across our state. Every year I am overwhelmed by the positive impact of the incredible stories each Ambassador shares,” he said.

Michelle Leonard OAM MANY children from the Narromine Shire have participated in the acclaimed Moorambilla Voices program, which aims to give rural children the rare opportunity to sing, dance, record, tour and create incredible performances with artists of the highest calibre.

The program was recognised in 2023 with the APRA AMCOS Luminary Award for a national organisation for its long-term commitment to creating Australian art music with and for young people in regional NSW. Ms Leonard is also the founding artistic director and conductor of Leichhardt Espresso Chorus which celebrates 25 years in 2023 and is a sought after choral clinician on Australian repertoire and appears regularly as a guest speaker, adjudicator, and workshop facilitator.

She was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for Services to the Community and Performing Arts in 2017 and in 2019 was named as one of the Australian Financial Review’s top 100 most influential women in Australia.

Ms Leonard will be a special guest at the Narromine Australia Day breakfast event and awards to be held on the morning of January 26 at Dundas Park.

Mr Menzies will talk about his experience and his company’s activities at Trangie’s Australia Day event and awards, to be held in the early evening of January 26 at the Trangie Bowling Club.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Woolies’ Australia Day stance ‘wrong’

Doug Menzies.

MY thoughts regarding Woolworths anti-Australia Day story.

No, Woolworths are wrong. It is their role to sell merchandise, not to make political statements.

I do not like Halloween, football or lots of other events. I do not object to Woolworths selling the junk that promotes these things though.

How dare Woolworths make such a political stance against the country that has given them such prosperity for so many years?

I will not enter a Woolworths store again until they apologise for taking this stand and reinstate the promotion of the date January 26th.

Delicious Gems

By NORMA REID HELLO, and welcome to my fi rst column for the Narromine Star on all things food. We’ll discuss various ideas, how to handle food in a practical way, tips and tricks on how to shop effectively and price-compare, and more.

One of the biggest issues is how to look after food. It can be quite tricky in our summer. Our fridges get overloaded with Christmas cheer and are opened many times a day, especially by kids.

L ef tovers a re wonderfu l t h i ngs, but ma k i ng su re t hey st ay fresh a nd sa fe is i mpor t a nt.

My top tips for helping keep food safe are as follows: f Plan meals and snacks. f Have ready-made “grab and go” snacks in the fridge, so kids aren’t hanging off the open door complaining, “there’s nothing to eat.” f Keep a food temperature gauge in the fridge to ensure it stays at the optimum temperature of no higher than five degrees Celsius. Cool down cooked food before popping it into the fridge. f Check the fridge door seals as they could cause cold loss. f Rotate your food, using older food fi rst, and be inventive with repurposing food. I use the “fridge all” theme for dinner. f Cover food in sealed containers or cling wrap to avoid cross-contamination. f Store food in the correct area of your fridge. Did you know the door is not the coldest part of your fridge? f Buy only what you need for the week. Freeze in daily lots and pull out what you need. This will help prevent fridge over-stocking which could cause temperature fluctuations. Helps with the budget too. f Put food away immediately when done with it. Once food is out of the fridge the two-to-four-hour rule is a good one to follow. Check the Food Standards Australia/New Zealand site for more information. f If travelling, take an esky or cold bags with you. I hate melted ice cream! f Remove food from tins and pop into sealed containers.

I hope these strategies help you rethink your food handling practices and keep your food in top condition, which in turn, keeps you healthy.

See you in the Deli!

Locals attend Tomingley public meeting It’s an overwhelming “no” from those attending the Tomingley meeting. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR.

A big turnout at the Crossroads Hotel for the public meeting.

By SHARON BONTHUYS ABOUT 40 people attended a public meeting at Tomingley on January 11 to hear concerns about the $1.8 billion proposal by Asia Pacific Waste Solutions (APWS) to build an ‘integrated energy and circular chemicals plant’ at Narwonah, just south of Narromine.

The public meeting at the Crossroads Hotel was hosted by the Narromine Shire Positive Change Community Group (NSPCCG) which formed late last year as a temporary action group to fight what it describes as a proposed “waste incinerator and toxic waste dump”.

In flyers distributed on social media prior to the event, the NSPCCG stated the project would bring “1.2 million tonnes of waste per year from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hunter Valley and Central West for processing.” The group also says the proposal could impact an area up to 100 kilometres around the site.

NSPCCG spokesperson Bruce Maynard led the Tomingley meeting, presenting various aspects of what was

known about the proposal and encouraged community members to ask questions on a range of topics including water, agriculture, employment and more.

For many Tomingley area locals who attended the public meeting, it was the fi rst time they had heard about the proposal. Few had attended previous public meetings in November and December last year in Narromine.

One attendee, Ian, who asked not to give his surname, has a mixed-farming property in the Parkes shire some 40 kilometres from the proposed site, and was concerned at what he’d learned during the meeting. He told the Narromine Star that he may raise his concerns with the Parkes shire which falls within the 100-kilometre impact zone suggested by the NSPCCG. Another landholder, Dan Comer, has a property close to the proposed site and had been unable to attend the previous meetings in Narromine. The father of three said he is concerned about the potential environmental and health impacts of the proposed project on his family, his farm, his neighbours and the

health of the community.

“I don’t like it, I don’t want it, and I want to know how we go about solving it. I think [the organisers] have to think about the consequences of having something like that so close.”

Tomingley residents Barry and Christine Unger said they were shocked by what they learned at the meeting and indicated the issue had not been raised at meetings of the Tomingley Advancement Association Committee.

“You can’t just make a deal and sell something,” Christine said.

“I will stand for council to go against this,” Barry said.

The Tomingley event was the fi rst of three proposed public meetings, or “district discussion days”, to be held by the NSPCCG in the Narromine Shire in the new year. The second meeting was held in Trangie on January 17 and a third meeting date was unknown at the time of going to press.

A show of hands at the Tomingley meeting indicated those attending were overwhelmingly against the proposal.

Vale, Pamela Perry OAM

The much loved and respected Pamela Perry OAM will be sadly missed. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. PAMELA Perry OAM passed away on Christmas Eve, 2023 and her funeral was held earlier this month. Her loving family has kindly provided the eulogy from her service to the Narromine Star.

PAM was the second daughter of Nita and Dick Perry, born on October 29, 1941. She has an older sister Maryan, younger brother, Peter, and sister, Diana.

Pam grew up in Narromine and attended the Narromine Public School until year seven, before going to SCEGGS Moss Vale where she had five happy years. She finished the Leaving Certificate in 1958.

Growing up on the family property, ‘Nundah’, was a happy carefree childhood. No TV or video games then. There were several families on the place with young children, so after school and at weekends, they made their own fun with lots of places to play, hide and build cubby houses.

Once they learnt to ride and had ponies, they were free to roam wherever they wanted.

The Pony Club was formed in 1953 and the fi rst meeting, with about 30 children and horses, was held at the showground just after Christmas that year. From then, all school holidays involved shows or gymkhanas, with a week-long camp at ‘Burroway’ every January.

School holidays in the 1950s when everyone was home from

boarding school also meant tennis parties and picnics in the hills or down on the river, with the Kieraths, Macks, Stevensons, Irvines, Walkers, Barlows, Barnetts and many others. These were all lifelong friends, but in particular the Stevenson girls, Lesley, Ginny and Keryn.

Pam and Lesley have been best friends since birth, being only two months apart in age. In 1964 they, with Ginny, planned a trip around Australia in Lesley’s Volkswagen. Three young ladies, their clothes, camping gear (no glamping or hotel rooms here!), spare parts, (and a sawn-off shotgun under the seat, just in case,) in a little red Beetle they named Charlie.

They went down the south coast to Melbourne, then Adelaide, across the Nullarbor to Albany where they spent a week with Maryan and Bob. Then Perth, on up the west coast to Derby and the Kimberley, across to Darwin, down to Alice Springs, back up to Tennant Creek, across to Longreach and back home through Bourke.

They arrived home after two months with a broken windscreen and an accelerator that functioned thanks to a spring and a piece of string.

Their adventure was written up in the Narromine News so everyone could follow along.

We are in awe at their adventurousness as this was prior to sealed roads, mobile phones

and four-wheel drives!

Following school, Pam enrolled at the Waverly Kindergarten College, graduating in 1961. For the next ten years she taught in a number of preschools, most in Canberra, but she was in Narromine in 1963 and 1964, and again in 1970.

At the end of 1970 she answered an ad looking for teachers to go to the Northern Territory (NT). She thought that would be an interesting change, so applied, and was posted to Warrabri, an Aboriginal settlement southeast of Tennant Creek. She intended to stay for a year, but 30 years later she was still in the Territory.

Pam arrived in Warrabri (now known as Ali Curang) in 1971 to teach at the preschool.

She admitted she knew next to nothing about the Aboriginal culture but had some assistants who taught her lots of things, except the language as she admitted she had no ear for languages.

She thoroughly enjoyed her three years there. Whilst at Warrabri, Pam fostered a little girl, Ros, the granddaughter of her laundry lady. She very quickly regarded Ros as her daughter but ensured she was always aware of her own family and culture.

Ros has since given Pam grandchildren and great grandchildren! They spoke at least once a week, often more, and didn’t let the distance of Ros being in the Territory and Pam in New South Wales stand in their way. We know Ros will miss Pam greatly.

In 1974, Pam packed up all her worldly belongings and drove to Darwin as she was going to start work in a new preschool there. Unfortunately, that never happened as a little wind called Cyclone Tracy had other ideas. However, as often happens, this disaster had a silver lining. Instead of going to Darwin, she was offered the opportunity to start a preschool in Tennant Creek.

This began a 25-year love affair with the town, community and district.

This preschool was originally to be called Tennant Creek East, but Pam determined this to be too long and boring and so, after consultation with the local Aboriginal people, named the school Karguru, which means “east”.

Pam would also run preschool classes in the Aboriginal camps. She said she would pile stuff into her car, throw a tarp under a tree and sit down and work with the kids and

talk to the parents about education and attending school.

This was probably quite a radical idea for the mid-seventies.

Pam fully immersed herself with all on offer in Tennant Creek and if it wasn’t there, she made it happen. Over the 25 years she was part of, and President of at different times, the Tennant Creek Theatrical Society (and often directed their productions), Craft Council, Toast Masters (where one year she became the Territorian Champion and represented them at the Australian Championships), Arts Council, and National Trust.

She was a member (and possibly President at some stage but we can’t verify this) of the Tennant Creek Show Society, Pony Club, Swimming Club, and Girl Guides. She was also a Board Member of the NT Art Galleries and Museums, Arts Council and a President of the NT National Trust. For her contributions to the latter, she was awarded Life Membership.

One of her greatest achievements was being an instigator of the Desert Harmony Festival, which she also named.

This is an annual event in Tennant Creek each July where the diverse community is celebrated through song, dance and cultural opportunities. It is so well regarded that it is one of the ‘must-do’s’ in the Territory.

To see it grow from a small idea to such a noted event gave Pam immense pride, and only recently she commented how proud she was that it was still going after nearly 30 years.

The head hurts as you try to calculate how many hours of volunteering she gave and all while working full time, raising her daughter, helping her partner Mike Hester with his ventures, and having her daily naps!

She is an inspirational volunteer. For this she has received significant recognition. To be recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, one usually has to be working, serving, contributing for 40, 50 or 60 years but Pam’s contribution earned her an Order of Australia Medal for “community service, and for service in the field of Aboriginal welfare” in 1980, after only being in the NT for 10 years.

This makes us realise that she probably did a lot more than she told us about, and that we are aware of, for the communities of Ali Curang and Tennant Creek.

In the mid-eighties, Pam

met Mike Hester. He was as invested in Tennant Creek as Pam was and they shared many community commitments, and a sense of adventure. They were together until his death in 2021, approximately 35 years, and loved each other’s families as if they were their own. Pam supported Mike through the death of his son Paul in 2005 and remained a step-mother to his daughter, Carolyn.

A few days after Pam died, I put an announcement on social media, the Tennant Creek Friends. Within an hour there were over 50 comments, with more since. The comments contained words like ‘special’, ‘beautiful’, ‘community’, ‘loved’, ‘inspiration’, ‘legend’, ‘icon’ and ‘golden oldie’.

Given she hasn’t lived there for over 20 years, this shows how highly regarded, remembered, and respected she was by people who now live all over Australia.

In 2000, she and Mike decided it was time to retire and leave their beloved Tennant Creek but not before being awarded joint Citizens of the Year. Another highlight and recognition of how much they had contributed.

Pam and Mike decided to settle in Dunbogan, just south of Port Macquarie.

She and Micke very quickly became part of the Dunbogan community, involved in the Bridge Club, the Kendall Craft Co-op, the Camden Haven Community College, volunteering at the Information Centre and involved in running the now defunct Henry Kendall Literary Festival.

Pam moved back to Narromine in mid-2022. As Parkinsons began to take over her body, making daily tasks difficult without support from others, she moved into Timbrebongie House embracing all the opportunities offered including bingo, puzzles, outings and activities. We cannot thank the staff of Timbrebongie enough for their care and kindness whilst Pam lived there, and in particular, on her fi nal day. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful facility with amazing staff in our town.

And fi nally, in the words of Nishwan Panwar: “We are all stories in the end, remembered by the adventures we had, the achievements we made and the people we loved. So make sure your story is a good one.”

And Pam, your story was a really good one!

Political News & Opinion AROUND UND THE ELECTORATE TORATE Comment nt by DUGALD D ERS, SAUNDERS, State Member ember for Dubbo bo THERE are still plenty of concerns about renewable energy projects right across our region, and it’s easy to under-

MESSAGE FROM DUTY MLC, ELECTORATE OF DUBBO By STEPHEN LAWRENCE HI, I’m Stephen Lawrence.

Happy new year and thanks for reading my first regular column as duty Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) for Dubbo. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I was elected to the Upper

stand why. The cumulative impact of large scale solar and wind projects, along with the prospect of more transmission lines, is a very real problem, and one we need to address.

Last week I joined Tattarang Chairman, Dr Andrew Forrest AO, and representatives from Squadron Energy near Wellington, as construction began on the Uungula Wind Farm. This is a project that started many years ago and passed all the necessary

requirements, but I understand some people don’t support it.

Renewables are a part of our energy mix, but proponents must do the right thing by communities, and the Minns Labor Government must be proactive in working for the future of Regional NSW. The implementation of the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) is also causing concern for residents, meaning proper consultation and engagement is vital.

Consultation should in-

clude going from property to property and looking at the impact of wind, solar, and transmission lines, and that work needs to start as soon as possible.

I’ve also been calling for proper benefits for anyone living near a large-scale renewable project, an example of this is Squadron which is delivering improved internet connectivity to all properties within the Uungula project scope.

Now we need to see proper benefits for other areas, which is why I have been calling for

an investigation into a shared benefit scheme which could include things like free solar and battery installations, as well as power subsidies.

House (LC) of the State Parliament in March last year and one of my responsibilities is to be a Labor Party representative for a number of Lower House seats that the Labor Party does not hold. Those seats are Dubbo (where I live), Bathurst, Cootamundra, Orange and Barwon.

I encourage people to reach out if they have issues they want to raise with a Government Member of Parliament.

The new government is not yet a year old, but a lot has already been achieved. One of our core promises was to rebuild our state’s essential services that have not emerged

well from 12 years of Coalition rule. We have implemented this promise by making a once in a generation investment in our essential services.

On the education front, we recognised the need to give teachers a substantial pay rise, taking them from among the country’s lowest paid to the highest paid. We have also made a whopping 16,700 education staff permanent. This will help deal with the crippling teacher shortage that has hit the regions so hard.

On the health front, we are committed to a fundamental review of the way our health system is funded and operates and the Beazley Inquiry will look into this. But we have

immediately started making changes including funding 500 new paramedics in the regions and transitioning hundreds of regional nurses and midwives to permanent jobs.

On the policing front, we need to also deal with shortages and announced last year a very significant recruitment policy. We will pay recruits while they train at the Goulburn Training Academy. Previously, recruits were only paid a basic stipend and this meant the pool of potential recruits was limited as people with mortgages and family responsibilities simply often couldn’t apply.

Regional Development is something I am very passion-

ate about, as is the ethical use of public money. The mandate of the new government is to do away with pork barrelling and the like. The Minister for Regional NSW, Tara Moriarty, announced last year a new $350 million Regional Development Trust. This will be distributed under the Regional Development Act, which is currently being comprehensively reviewed to ensure money is spent efficiently, effectively and ethically.

he sees us as clean, righteous, moral and worthy. Wow, how amazing that Jesus changed God’s view of us.

Did you know that you might be someone’s fi rst impression of JESUS? We need to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. For we are taking pains to do what’s right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man. As for our brothers, they are representatives of the churches and an honour to Christ.

(2 Corinthians 8:20, v21,23).

First impressions can say a lot. Usually we decide pretty quickly how we feel about someone or something based

on our first meeting. Did you know that you might be someone’s first impression of Jesus? And even if you are not someone’s first impression, you will definitely make an Impression.

People learn about Jesus through observing Christians.

We can show them what Jesus is really like, or we can mislead them by not staying true to our faith.

Paul and his fellow servants took great pains to do what was right, because they knew they were representing Jesus.

They wanted to honour Jesus with their actions.

We would never be able to represent Jesus without help from Jesus himself. On our

own, we could never act in a way that would bring honour to Jesus. We will always make mistakes. But when we turn to him and seek his righteousness, he will use us to bring him glory.

The regions are hosting all the renewables so the regions should benefit with cheaper power for residents, along with cheaper power to attract businesses including advanced manufacturing.

Until next time, Dugald

Please get in touch through my parliamentary office if I can be of assistance or if you have suggestions for the new Labor government.

Community News BRIAN’S BIBLE BITS

By REV. BRIAN SCHMALKUCHE

Jesus, Pure and Holy JESUS never sinned. He never made a mistake. He never rolled his eyes at his parents. He never thought a bad thought. He was completely pure. Yet he became sin for our sake.

Can you imagine? What must that have felt like? Jesus took ALL THE SIN OF THE WORLD – past, present and future – on himself. All that darkness, all that misery, all that fear.

He felt it all. His death was physically painful, but it must have been emotionally and mentally excruciating as well.

God placed all our sin on Jesus, even though Jesus himself had never sinned. Now we are given all his goodness and holiness, even though we are not naturally good or holy.

Now, when God looks at those who trust in Jesus, he doesn’t see all that awful sin.

He sees Jesus, and therefore,

Jesus said: “For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matthew 7:8). If we ask him, Jesus will use us to make a great first (and second and third and zillionth) impression.

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to make a good impression for YOU. I want my actions to bring you honour and glory, always AMEN.

Garden grows at Narromine War Cemetery

By SHARON BONTHUYS HAVE you visited the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Narromine recently?

If not, it’s well worth stopping by.

Thanks to a process coordinated through the Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG), the site has experienced some “horticultural renewal” and is now looking very spick.

Starting last August, garden beds at the war graves cemetery were stripped of non-endemic species and vegetation impacted by pests or disease, and two decaying bottlebrush shrubs were removed.

As part of the garden’s rejuvenation, two rose species were planted as well as rosemary, nandinas and dwarf agapanthus.

Trees on the site are now in full flower, giving the site a beautiful look and feel.

With ANZAC Day just three months away, the Narromine War Cemetery is a fi ne tribute to the 12 souls who passed away during World War II and whose last resting place is within.

Lest We Forget.

Good field for Saturday golf

By NORM LEWIS ON Saturday last, a good field of 26 players faced the starter for the scheduled Two-Person Ambrose competition. Following the recent rain the course is in very good condition and a credit to the group of volunteer members who work tirelessly to maintain its condition.

The event was won by Zac Everett and Ryan Richardson with Mitch Smith and Henry Buttsworth in second place.

Matt Leonard won the Nearest the Pin (NTP) on the third hole while Henry Buttsworth took the honours on the 10th. Mitch Smith took the Long Drive on the day.

On Sunday, the field was down on the usual numbers, no doubt due to the clash with the cricket fi nal played in Narromine. Only eight players faced the starter with Vicki Gainsford and Greg Barling claiming victory with a score of 42. Craig Duff took out the double on the day, winning the NTP and the Long Drive.

Next weekend play will be as per the program with an Indi-

vidual Irish Stableford and a Two-Person Multiplier. With no cricket to compete with there should be good fields at golf.

Talking of cricket, commiserations to the Narromine team which went down to Gilgandra in the final of the Brewery Shield. I won’t mention the scores, however, congratulations to Narromine in making the final.

A good roll up of players took part in the Handsaker Ford Business House competition last Wednesday.Team winner on the day was Deep Divots with a score of 18.33. Individual winners were Jack Gainsford 30, Brodie McKay 28, Greg Barling 24, Shane Liddell 23, and Ben White 23. NTP on the third went Greg Barling while Matt Gainsford took the prize on the ninth. The 10th and 17th holes produced no winners. The Long Drive on the fi rst was won

by Jason McPherson and Ross King won the prize on the 11th.

This competition continues to attract good fields each week.

That’s all for this week, see you all at the 19th.

Record crowds for Gilgandra New Year’s Carnival

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES EARNING recognition as a serious player in country racing, Gilgandra Jockey Club hosted a highly successful summer carnival with outstanding TAB turnover and big crowds on both days - December 30, 2023 and Sunday, January 7, 2024 (Gilgandra Cup).

Held at the Gilgandra Services Club, the cup calcutta night attracted a record crowd, record auction pool and an enthralling interview

by Tim Moses, with retired champion jockey Greg Ryan, who rode a record 10 Gilgandra Cup winners.

Not only did Michael Mulholland supply the 2024 cup quinella, Sea Of Flames and Athena’s Lad, the Dubbo trainer has now won three of the last four Gilgandra Services Club Gilgandra Cups.

Mulholland won the 2021 cup with Universal Thief ridden by Kath Bell-Pitomac and last year it was Cheptegei with Serg Lisnyy in the saddle.

Shayleigh Ingelse, who is apprenticed to Michael Mulholland, rode Sea Of Flames this year. Nick Heywood was aboard the stablemate Athena’s Lad which was resuming after a six-month break and fi rst up over 1600 metres.

Not Too Bad and Macchina Volante shared the lead before Shayleigh Ingelse shot Sea Of Flames to the front approaching the home turn.

Athena’s Lad ($7) from midfield fi nished gamely to be beaten a short neck by Sea Of Flames ($6 to $5) with Turgenev (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.60) rushing home from near last to grab third from the $3.20 favourite Not Too Bad. Popular Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazelton prepares both Turgenev and Not Too Bad and he was in the winner’s circle two days later when War Toy, ridden by Clayton Gallagher, was a stylish winner at Orange.

Feature sprint on Cup day was the 1100 metres Think Water Outwest - Bob Foran Memorial Gilgandra Town Plate,

and Dubbo-trained Clint Lundholm had the fi rst two home, Beauchamp and Raging Rush.

Clint Lundholm, who provided an interesting interview at the calcutta night, told the audience his runners were both top chances and it turned out that way with a head and head battle down the straight.

Beauchamp (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.80) prevailed by a head over Raging Rush (Ronald Simpson, $2 favourite) with Sir Donald (Will Stanley, $17) less than a length away third.

Braith Nock, who is both a successful apprentice jockey and a talented bull rider on the rodeo circuit, starred with four winners on Cup day at Gilgandra, Cheeky Secrets ($8.50), Off The Press ($1.35 fav.), Turbo Charged, $2.35 fav.) and Precious Socks, $12).

Cody Morgan from Tamworth is the trainer of both Off The Press (Kelly and Astill Lawyers Len Kelly Memorial Maiden Plate) and Turbo Charged (Ahrens Super Maiden Handicap), while Cheeky Secrets (AGnVET Services Maiden Handicap) is trained at Coonabarabran by Wayne Martyn and Precious Socks at Dubbo by Cindy Monaghan.

A last start winner at Moree, Precious Socks (Braith Nock, $12) charged home from midfield at Gil-gandra to win the 1100 metres Jokers Ink Kate Smith Memorial Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap from Rockin’ Edition (Ken Dunbar, $4 equal fav.) and Benyatta (Mitch Stapleford, $21). Owners of Precious Socks include Tim Moses and Moree-based bookmaker Terry Picone.

Cup winning trainer Michael Mulholland had a big day as he also won the 1800 metres Gilgandra Toyota Cooee Cup Class Three Handicap with Capaldi ($4), ridden by Serg Lisnyy.

Dubbo trainer Brett Robb and jockey Clayton Gallagher combined with Nannu ($3.30 fav.), the last stride winner of the 1200 metres Chris Bowman Transport Class Two Handicap.

Curators Jarryd Eason and Grant Zell have the track in great order and Gilgandra will next race in February with the Tooraweenah Cup meeting.

Gerries back on the green

By NORM LEWIS FOLLOWING the Christmas/New Year holidays, the Geriatric Golfers are back on the course with a top field of 20 players vying for the major honours.

The course is in top condition following the recent rain and the work carried out by our band of volunteers.

Many thanks to those working on the course.

Seven ladies played in their division with Vicki Gainsford taking the major prize with a score of 19 points. The runner

up was Dale Harding on 18 points.

As can be seen from the scores, there is little or no run on the course.

No lady was able to claim the Nearest the Pin (NTP) prize on the day.

Carol MacDonald collected the NAGA prize with a score of 13 points.

There were 13 players in the Men’s Division with Vince Ferrari taking the major prize on a score of 26 points.

His round included a 2/5 on the third hole. Great round, Vince! Three players tied for second - Mal Richardson, Ross

King and Phil White.

Phil recorded a 3/5 on the fourth hole and was declared the winner on a count back.

The NTP went to Mal Richardson (sorry, Mal, only one ball in the jackpot kitty for your effort). Gus Smith won the NAGA with a score of 15 points.

In all a good start to the second half of the summer season. Next weekend the ladies will play the front nine and the men on the back nine for an early morning tee-off.

That’s it for this week, see you all at the 19th.

Gilgandra beats Narromine to win Brewery Shield THE Gilgandra and District Cricket Association representative team has won the 2023/24 Brewery Shield after a convincing win against the Narromine Bombers on Sunday, January 14. Played at Dundas Park, Gilgandra 5/67, bombed out the home side at 10/66.

Narromine won the toss and elected to bat first. Their score of 10/66 came in 30.2 overs with the top run scorers of Adam Davis 20, Cameron Collins 19, Heath Larance eight, and Tom Mason-wells four.

It was Gilgandra’s Brandon Hammond who inflicted the most damage to Narromine’s chances.

He was instrumental in seven of the 10 dismissals, collecting four for lbw, and including two golden ducks, two ducks, and a hat trick.

Gilgandra then made short work of their innings, getting to the required 67 runs at 19.5 overs.

Run scorers for the Gilgandra team were Nick Willoughby 17 (caught Liam Wherrit, bowled Tom Masonwells), James Glasson 12 (also caught Lachlan Reid, bowled Tom Masonwells), Brandon Hammond 10 (not out), Liam Zell seven, Matthew Everett (vice-captain) six, and Ashley Hazelton (captain) four.

Junior glider pilots contest nationals in Narromine

By SHARON BONTHUYS

IF you thought the gliding action was over and done with following the incredible 37th Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Gliding Championships last month, you’d be wrong.

Narromine welcomed in the new year by hosting the Australian Junior Nationals and Junior Coaching Program between January 6-13. Also known as “JoeyGlide”, the annual event brings junior gliding enthusiasts aged under 26 from around the country and sometimes overseas to gain valuable experience competing and or receive coaching.

A small field of six young glider pilots aged between 16 and 24 contested the Club Class competition, which is organised by the Australian Junior Gliding Club (AJGC), but not all registered entrants completed all the gliding tasks set at the event. Two competitors who had “aged out” of the juniors (over 26 years) also participated, gaining valuable experience.

Four other young pilots participated in the coaching program, and one young pilot received training in a new category (Ab Initio) where they flew accompanied in a two-seater glider.

At competition end, Joshua Geerlings from the Narrogin Gliding Club fi nished at the top of the ladder on 4799 points.

Hearty congratulations to Joshua and fellow competitors Jayden Bashford, Ryan Driscoll, Jason Tang, Noah Tanzen, Anoushka de Chelard, Aidan Curtis, and from Japan, Kengo Matsumoto.

Due to the small number of

Narromine’s unpredictable weather of late caused some challenges and provided valuable new fl ight experiences for the young pilots. Competitors raced home from their set task to beat a sudden storm that hit the region on the afternoon of January 11. All competitors made it back safely, including one whose glider landed in a field outside Narromine and required a retrieval.

Who attends JoeyGlide?

THE Narromine Star sat down with three of the young people attending JoeyGlide and the president of the AJGC, Ms Be-

len Swart.

Anoushka de Chelard, 17, and Aidan Curtis, 24, competed while Jared Bignell, 19, participated in the coaching program.

All three have previously attended past JoeyGlides, but this was their first visit to Narromine.

For Anoushka, who hails from Hamilton in south-west Victoria and fl ies with Grampians Soaring Club, fi nally being able to compete at JoeyGlide on her third attendance was a dream come true.

“I did coaching in the fi rst one and in the second one I wanted to compete but didn’t have enough hours so I’ve been eagerly awaiting to compete,” she said.

For Kingaroy Soaring Club member Aidan, attending for the fourth time from his home on the Gold Coast, it’s the people in the gliding community that draw him to JoeyGlide.

“It’s one of those competitions and events that we want to come to for the camaraderie, the friendship and the learning. That’s what JoeyGlide is all about.”

Attending his second JoeyGlide, Bathurst Soaring Club member Jared has been gliding for a few years and participated in the coaching program this year to gain cross-country experience.

“It’s a bit harder doing it at your local club so coming out to Narromine you get a whole different experience and can learn new skills,” he said.

“We get world class coaches at every single event. We try to get the best of the best in each region. No matter where we go [for JoeyGlide] we want to make sure we have the best teaching for the up and coming juniors,” Aidan said.

Coaches at this year’s event include highly respected glider pilots Richard Fraw-

ley and Matthew Atkinson.

Last year at Lake Keepit the coaches included 1991 senior world champion in the 15-Metre Class, Brad Edwards, and Bruce Taylor who was runner up world champion in the Standard Class from last month’s event at Narromine.

All three young glider pilots have had a great week at Joeyglide.

“JoeyGlide is my favourite week of the year because I get to catch up with amazing people and very likeminded people. Of course, flying all week is a highlight,” Anoushka said.

“It’s so encouraging to come here and see all these other people competing. It’s my goal to learn from this,” Jared said.

Being able to catch up with mates from the gliding community is always a highlight for Aidan.

“It’s one of the obstacles of gliding in Australia. There are such long distances between our clubs and states that it can sometimes be tricky but also very expensive to come to JoeyGlide. We’ve had an absolutely amazing week.”

Belen Swart, 22, has been involved with JoeyGlide for five years, the last two years as president of the AJGC. Planning for JoeyGlide is fairly involved and takes some time to secure a host club, coaches and aircraft for participants.

She has been very pleased with the staging of the Narromine event.

“Narromine is a phenomenal site and the town has everything we need,” she said.

Congratulations to everyone involved in JoeyGlide 2024.
