It’s only the beginning Facility that trains regional doctors an enormous benefit to Parkes and region

By CHRISTINE LITTLE Some said it couldn’t be done.

But here we are, gestured Dr Kerrie Stewart who is the Head of Campus of the Central West Clinical School that’s based in Parkes.

The doctor was referring to training medical students to become doctors outside of a city centre.

The clinical school, that’s run through Charles Sturt University (CSU) School of Rural Medicine, has been in Parkes for three years now but it hasn’t had a facility to call its own.

That is until now.

Thanks to a partnership that’s being described as groundbreaking, between Evolution Mining Northparkes Operations and CSU, a fully equipped facility has been developed in Currajong Street to allow regional medical students to be trained as doctors without having to leave regional areas - areas that so desperately need more doctors.

The project’s purpose is to create a pipeline of doctors for the Central West and provide more access to healthcare for the entire community.

A lack of doctors is all too familiar for Parkes and Northparkes Operations General Manager Rob Cun-

“Over 30 years Northparkes has been here in Parkes and the persistent challenge over that time for staff and our community is accessing a doctor,” he said.

When the rural doctors program was seeking a space to train in, Mr Cunningham said Evolution Mining had an appetite to help with a solution.

Naming it the ‘Heart of Parkes’ the grand opening

of the new premises at 24-28 Currajong Street was held on 1 July, in the company of Evolution and Northparkes staff, dignitaries, local businesses and organisations, CSU School of Rural Medicine representatives and the now

12 medical students involved in the doctors program.

What was first the Department of Main Roads, then the Parkes Business Enterprise Centre and afterwards leased office space for businesses, the building has been

transformed and fitted-out to accommodate the medical students with a simulation lab, tutorial room with interactive features, multipurpose room to practise clinical skills, office space and ■ Continued on page 4

Williams shares her yarn as she mentors First Nations athletes

Parkes Little Athletics committee members Kerrie Edwards and Chris Higgins accepted Parkes Little Athletics highly commended award for Regional Centre of the Year at the PHOTO: Parkes Little Athletics annual Little Athletics NSW Awards Night.

Little Athletics recognised Parkes Little Athletics Club has been awarded highly commended for Regional Centre of the Year at the annual Little Athletics NSW Awards Night.

Parkes Little Athletics Club was one of more than 219 Little athletics clubs across the state and 19 regional clubs nominated for the award.

“This is a huge achievement and we’re incredibly

proud to have come in as a close second to the winner,” Parkes Little Athletics wrote on Facebook.

“Our club was recognised for the incredible work by our committee, parents and athletes creating an inclusive and positive culture that’s helping our athletes and club thrive.”

Parkes Little Athletics are proud of everything their athletes and commu-

nity have achieved and by all reports they are just getting started.

Representatives of the club who attend the awards night have returned to Parkes full of inspiration and fresh ideas for the upcoming season.

The 2025 / 2026 season of Little Athletics begins in October and Parkes Little Athletics can’t wait to get started.

Hockeyroos star and proud Wiradjuri woman Mariah Williams is continuing to pave the way as a trailblazer in Australian sport, not just on the pitch, but off it.

The three-time Olympian from Parkes has been elevated to become one of nine mentors in the Australian Institute of Sport’s (AIS) Share a Yarn program, as reported by Hockey Australia.

She’s earned the role three years after she joined the program as an ambassador.

The AIS Share a Yarn program is the only initiative in Australia that connects First Nations athletes from all high-performance sports.

Victoria Street bridge is open The Victoria Street bridge is open!

After three and a half long years since it was closed in January 2022 to make way for the construction of the Parkes Bypass and later a bridge, the thoroughfare between the town centre, and Parkes Christian School and the north-west end of Parkes opened once again to traffic, pedestrians and cyclists on Tuesday night, much to the delight of residents.

The new bridge reconnects Victoria Street to Moulden Street and Back Trundle Road, over the bypass and provides a safer access to the Christian School.

The northern and southern connections to and from the bypass and the London Road T-intersection near the Parkes Golf Club are still expected to be completed and opened this month. ▶ The Victoria Street bridge that sends motorists over the Parkes bypass is now open, after this section of the street was closed for three and a half years.

New medical training facility a game changer ■ From page 1.

student facilities such as a kitchen and loungeroom.

The building will also be home to the new Northparkes Operations town office with a board room and 12 hot desks and a purposebuilt training centre, as well as the Evolution Group Hub. The refurbishment was completed in about four months thanks to the hard work and long hours devoted by more than 20 local tradies, which means the economic investment of the building has gone back into the local community.

Mr Cunningham had 1 July locked in as the official opening because he was determined to see it open and operating on his last day before retirement.

The idea for the facility came after conversations that initially began between Northparkes and Parkes Shire Council in Cooke Park in March last year about health in regional NSW. Mr Cunningham said Northparkes was able to provide the facility but it was CSU and Dr Stewart who really brought it all together.

“Everyone plays their part,” he said.

“I really think this is groundbreaking as a facility and this is an idea that can be replicated in other rural communities throughout Australia.

“This is an example of how other government areas can leverage businesses that have the capability to recreate this model.

“This is not just someone throwing money at something, this is a long-term sustainable partnership working with CSU to create a pipeline of doctors in the Central West for the future.”

Mr Cunningham said Northparkes had some staff with spouses who are doctors but who aren’t able to practise yet and this program could benefit them.

Dean of the School of Rural Medicine Professor Lesley Forster said Parkes played a big part in bringing the Central West Clinical School to town through lobbying and consultation.

“The whole idea of it is that we find people with a rural background, we bring them into the medical school where we teach them in a local rural com-

munity for all of their clinical training, and then they graduate and... hopefully stay in the local community,” she said.

Dr Stewart thanked Council for their ongoing support that initially began with offering students accommodation when they first arrived in Parkes.

“Kent Boyd (general manager) was really instrumental in putting us together (Northparkes and CSU), I’d like to thank Council once again for your vision and your logistical support - so accommodation, connections, just always providing support to us, so that’s how this came about,” she said.

“It’s nothing short of amazing for us, it’s a gamechanger.”

Of the 12 medical students in the program, four of them come from Parkes.

“We’re bringing medicine to them, so to speak, so they can pursue medicine and reside here, and stay here long term,” Dr Stewart said.

Parkes Mayor Neil Westcott said the facility and partnership between Northparkes and CSU School of Rural Medicine was a foot in the door.

Northparkes staff and all who are involved in the rural doctors program in Parkes at the new, groundbreaking facility in Currajong Street.

“Perhaps a very little foot in a very big door but it matters,” he said.

“Times have changed, we as a community need something like this.

“From little things big things do grow.”

State Member for Orange Phil Donato said we hear everyday the struggle people have to access health services and GPs. “You can train in the bush, live in the bush and have a rewarding career in the bush,” he said.

Dean of the School of Rural Medicine Professor Lesley Forster, manager Justine Brindle, Dr Kerrie Stewart, and Clinical School support officers Natalie Johnston and Hannah Davey all helped to make the Central West Clinical School and its new home a reality.

The opening of the 2025 Waste to Art exhibition and announcement of winners was a wonderful celebration of local art and creativity.

Parkes Mayor Cr Neil Westcott opened the exhibition, admiring the stories behind each of the artworks.

A total of 79 works were on display, and 90 per cent of these

embraced the 2025 theme Toys.

Parkes Salvos Store was officially opened with big smiles and celebration as Parkes Salvos Store manager Maureen Vera Kingston and Beverley Drabsch ready to serve the first Prisk cut the ribbon.

New life for Church building

By MADELINE BLACKSTOCK The much loved Parkes Family Salvation Army Store has officially transitioned into a Salvos Store, continuing the same proud service of support and community connection.

A special official opening was held on 26 June to mark the handover with local volunteers, customers and community leaders in attendance celebrating the transformation of the store.

For over two decades, the building on Church Street has housed the Parkes Family Store providing the community a place to shop and also a place for support.

The newly renovated store, now part of the national Salvos Store network, will continue to serve the community with a new look and familiar faces.

“It has been a great pleasure to transition this store from a Family Store allowing the salvation army to continue their great work in Parkes and allow the community to retain the store, have a great place to shop, find some treasures and also make sure that we’re helping to be part of the change for tomorrow,” Salvos Stores Western NSW area manager Cayte Moxom said.

▲ Beverley Drabsch, Melissa Proctor, Parkes Salvos Store manager Maureen Prisk, Catherine Anderson and Melissa Vincent. ◀ Western NSW area manager Cayte Moxom and Melissa Vincent with keen Salvos shopper Joan Patison.

“My special thanks go to Wendy and Judy who are both amazing and the entire team, nothing has ever been too hard for them.”

The transition sees nearly all current volunteers move into the new

Salvos Store with three volunteers and one long time customer of the Family Store now employees and one volunteer choosing to continue volunteering at the Forbes Family Store.

Wendy was delighted in sharing

her discoveries from the archives including a copy of The War Cry dated May 1891 and the history of Salvos in Parkes.

“The earliest known Op Shop in Parkes began in 1989 in a small side street believed to be Dalton Street,” Wendy said.

“By 1993, it had moved to a demountable on Clarinda Street and was earning $60 to $80 a week. Following the closure of the Parkes Salvation Army Church in 2003 the thrift shop moved into the building which has now been standing for 134 years.”

To house the Salvos Store the building has received a full internal refit and a fresh external facelift.

“Today I say thank you to the Salvos Stores team for agreeing to come to Parkes and keeping this great building in use for the community.”

The Salvation Army’s mission will continue in Parkes, including help with food, fuel, medication vouchers, as well as counselling, Christmas toys and cheer and food hampers.

Major Gary Smith (Chaplain, Salvos Stores) presented a symbolic Salvation Army artwork, a contemporary version of William Booth’s “Hope” poster, serving as a reminder of the mission and heart that lies behind every Salvos Store across the country.

“We hang this artwork in every Salvos Store. It reminds us why we do what we do,” Mr Smith said.

The store will now be managed

by Maureen Prisk who was very pleased to be the new manager of the Salvos Store.

“We welcome everyone to this beautiful new space and we look forward to serving the Parkes community,” Maureen added.

Closer look at special guests for concert The Parkes Shire Concert Band (PSCB) 30th anniversary community concert is only two weeks away and band members can’t wait to showcase their talent.

To add to this momentous occasion and celebrate all things music, PSCB has invited the historic Fire and Rescue NSW Band of 35 musicians and the Orange Regional Conservatorium Wind Ensemble of 40 musicians to be its featured guests for the concert.

It takes place at 2pm on Sunday, 27 July in the Starlight Lounge of the Parkes Services Club.

Get to know the bands before they perform: FIRE AND RESCUE NSW BAND The Band was originally formed as the Paddington Brewery Volunteer Fire Brigade Band in or about 1899 and first reformed as the NSW Fire Brigades Band in 1910.

The Band has had many guises and has survived two World Wars and many personal changes.

However, at all times the Band has been proud to provide musical support to the brave firefighters of NSW. It reformed into its current format in 1973.

The Band has an allocation of 40 playing members, plus the current musical director Graeme Press.

All of the members are part-time volunteers, some travelling from

as far as Bowral, Lithgow and all parts of the Sydney region for weekly rehearsals and regular performances.

The Band performs at various engagements right across the state, but in the main, supports Fire and Rescue’s NSW key events, ANZAC Day, graduation ceremonies, open days, gala balls and many other fundraising and fire prevention awareness activities.

Last year the Band performed at its inaugural ‘Beat the Burn’ charity

concert, raising much needed funds for the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation.

The concert was a huge success and it is planned to make this an annual event.

Last year the Band also played a supporting role at the 140th anniversary of Fire and Rescue NSW, and aided the Commissioner and his team in the presentation of awards at the annual St. Florian’s Day Ceremony.

The Band is delighted to support the Parkes concert band in their 30th anniversary celebrations.

ORANGE REGIONAL CONSERVATORIUM SYMPHONIC WIND ENSEMBLE The Orange Regional Conservatorium Symphonic Wind Ensemble will bring bold, expressive sounds to the stage with a powerful mix of brass, woodwind, and percussion.

Conducted by Rachel Rule, this dynamic group performs everything from classic concert band repertoire to cinematic showstoppers, always with energy and flair.

Their program will include: March Boushou - Satoshi Yagisawa A fiery march based on the tra-

ditional folk song Boushu Oiwake marrying the lyrical pentatonic melodies of the East with fugal and march style composition of the West.

Voyage of northern lights - Isabella Piritta Morrill This piece was composed by a young American composer and was the winner of the 2022 National Band Association Composition Contest. It is a musical narrative that explains that the beautiful northern lights are the final exhales of fallen soldiers enroute to Valhalla.

Greensleeves - Alfred Reed It is generally agreed that the melody we know of as Greensleeves is probably the second oldest piece of secular music in our western culture, tracing back to 1360. American composer Alfred Reed has set this traditional piece beautifully for concert band and it has become a staple of wind ensembles all around the world.

A night in Tunisia - Paul Murtha This is a chance for our wonderful saxophone section to show off!

This jazz standard juxtaposes intense Latin rhythms with groovy swung sections.

Kosciusko - Brendan Collins This epic work by Sydney composer Brendan Collins tells the life story of Polish military leader Thaddeus Kosciusko, from humble beginnings with sombre Polish folk songs to terrifying battles, and concludes with a musical journey to scale his namesake mountain in Australia.

Cultural grants for workshops, photo trail Extending Parkes’ outdoor photo trail and a series of creative workshops as part of the 120th Peak Hill Show are what the latest round of cultural grants will fund.

Parkes Shire Council announced its successful recipients of a Parkes Shire Cultural Grant on 1 July - $10,000 split between Parkes Community Arts and the Peak Hill Pastoral Agricultural and Horticultural Association.

Last year Parkes Community Arts installed 11 large scale images in Parkes, Peak Hill, Bogan Gate, Trundle and Tullamore, creating an outdoor photo trail for residents and visitors that showcased everyday people who make up our community.

They called it Who Is Parkes.

And now $6000 from this cultural grant will enable the art group to extend the very popular and successful Who Is Parkes initiative, by adding more images to the trail and redesign-

ing the trail brochure. The project takes art out into the streets and provides a unifying experience for the community.

“This grant will allow us to build on the success of the Who Is Parkes project and get some more exciting images up and around the Parkes Shire of beautiful, everyday people,” said chair of Parkes Community Arts Deb Jones.

“We have been overwhelmed by the positive response to the large-scale images and the project, and look forward to installing the new images.”

A $4000 grant will support Crafting Connections Creative Workshops as part of the 120th Peak Hill Show this year.

The Pastoral Agricultural and Horticultural Association will run a series of hands-on creative workshops in flower arranging, macrame, cheese making and Viking knit jewellery, in the two weeks leading up to the show.

The workshops will be delivered by experienced practitioners and open to all ages, with a particular focus on community connection, skill development and cultural engagement.

Participants will be encouraged to display their creations at the Peak Hill Show.

Secretary of the Peak Hill Show committee Stephanie Williams said they’ve had a “massive take up” of the workshops.

“With this year being the 120th Peak Hill Show, the cultural grant will get more community involvement in our local show,” she said.

“In the past when we have run creative workshops such as this, people have felt a greater connection with the Peak Hill Show, so we’re hoping this year will be the best yet.”

Council congratulates this year’s grant recipients and says it is proud to support local organisations delivering unique cultural activities that benefit the shire.

A helping hand for community groups Parkes Shire Council is inviting not-forprofit and community organisations to apply for funding through Round 1 of the 2025/2026 Community Financial Assistance Program.

Council recognises the important role cultural, community and sporting organisations play in enhancing the liveability and wellbeing of the shire.

Since the program’s implementation in 2018, it has provided targeted financial support to help these groups deliver services, events and projects that benefit the community.

Applications close at 5pm on Monday, 28 July.

Round 1 includes two types of assistance: 1. General Financial Assistance - a ‘helping hand’ through the provision of funds for a specific purpose or event up to an amount of $1000.

2. Rates and Charges Assistance - the waiving of fees and charges on properties owned by local not-for-profit groups or organisations.

“Council values the work of our local organisations and is committed to providing a fair, consistent and transparent approach to community funding,” said Mayor of Parkes Shire Neil Westcott.

“This program offers real support where it’s needed most, whether it’s a one-off event or help managing ongoing operational costs.”

Applications will be assessed by an evaluation panel against the eligibility criteria, with successful applicants required to report back to council on how the funding was used.

BUSINESS FEATURE

How weather impacts your insurance

When you live and work in regional Australia, in places like Parkes then it’s important to understand the impact the weather has when it comes to your farm and business insurance.

Louise Wykes, from AIA Insurance Agencies, is a local insurance broker, who grew up in a farming family and has lived across the Central West and Orana region.

She’s experienced droughts, floods and everything in between.

As an insurance broker she understands more than most about the impact of weather on protecting a farm or business.

“Not all farms, agricultural or small businesses have the same needs. It’s important to understand our client’s needs so that we can shop around and find the right solution for each of our client’s situations.” Says Louise.

Let’s talk about crops, rain and drought!

“Our winter crops are already in the ground – wheat, barley, canola, chickpeas – the season is well underway. While heavy rainfall is hit-

ting parts of northern NSW, large areas of Victoria are still facing harsh drought conditions. Both impact insurance availability across NSW.” comments Louise.

Drought impacts insurers’ appetite for risk. Insurers need to diversify their exposure, and when one area is in drought – like Victoria is, it puts a limit on how much cover insurers are willing to provide across the rest of the country.

“Once capacity is used, that’s it!

That’s why we encourage our clients to submit their crop plan early so we can prepare crop insurance quotes while there’s still availability.”

Louise commented: “We have access to the eight key insurers who offer quality farm and crop insurance. With strong insurer relationships plus our team’s 30+ years’ agricultural insurance experience we can confidently talk with insurers about their inclusions, exclusions, and claims decisions, if needed.”

And when there’s a flood!

Floods can cause widespread damage, often impacting towns

AIA Insurance Agencies insurance broker Louise Wykes is based in Parkes. You can find her at the AIA Insurance office located at 3 Cecile Street, Parkes or call her on 0485 931 334. and businesses as much as the surrounding communities. Flood waters bring mud and debris causing real damage to homes, businesses, cars and machinery.

It’s important to know if your insurance policy covers flood, and if it doesn’t that you have a back-up plan.

“The benefit of using an insur-

ance broker is that we let you know what exactly you are covered for and what you are not covered for.

We don’t work for the insurer; we work for you. We support you to manage your risks.”

AIA Insurance Agencies, a trusted part of the Parkes Community AIA Insurance Agencies supported Louise’s decision to move to

Parkes nearly two ago.

As a loyal employee with over 15 years insurance knowledge plus her regional background they knew she’d offer valuable insurance advice whether it’s about protecting your home, business or farm.

You can find Louise at the AIA Insurance Offices on 3 Cecile Street or call her on 0485 931 334.

Silent threat to cats

By PARKES VET Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), what is it?

FIV is one of the most widespread infectious diseases affecting cats globally.

This virus targets and weakens a cat’s immune system, making it harder for them to fight off everyday infections.

While FIV-positive cats may appear healthy for months or even years, the virus gradually compromises their immunity.

As a result, bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that would typically be harmless can lead to serious and sometimes lifethreatening illnesses.

How is it spread? FIV is primarily transmitted through bite wounds inflicted during fights with infected cats.

While outdoor, undesexed male cats are statistically more likely to fight-and therefore more likely to be infected-any cat, regardless of sex or desexing status, is at risk if they engage in aggressive encounters.

This means that any cat who roams outdoors and gets into fights can also contract the virus.

Keeping cats indoors and minimising exposure to unknown or aggressive cats is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of FIV transmission.

Fortunately, casual, nonaggressive interactions like sharing food and water bowls, or mutual grooming, are not considered effective ways for

the virus to spread.

In rare cases, an infected mother cat may pass the virus to her kittens, particularly if she contracts FIV during pregnancy.

It’s important to note FIV is not transmissible to humans in any way.

What are the clinical signs?

The clinical signs of FIV can vary widely, especially in the early stages.

Many cats remain asymptomatic (show no symptoms) for months or even years.

However, as the disease progresses and the immune system weakens, signs may become more apparent.

Early stage (often asymptomatic or mild signs): • Fever • Lethargy • Enlarged lymph nodes Later stages (as the immune system weakens): • Chronic or recurrent infections, especially: Gums and mouth (gingivitis, stomatitis), skin infections, respiratory infections and urinary tract infections.

• Weight loss and poor coat condition • Persistent fever • Diarrhoea • Loss of appetite • Anaemia • Neurological signs (less common, but can include behaviour changes or seizures) • Slow wound healing • Cancer or blood disorders

(due to immunosuppression) How is it diagnosed? FIV is diagnosed via a snap test.

We take blood from a venipuncture and run a test in clinic and within 10 minutes we have a result of whether the cat is FIV positive or negative.

How is it treated? Unfortunately, there is no cure for FIVonce a cat contracts the virus, it will carry it for life.

However, cats with FIV can still live long, happy lives.

How can it be prevented?

The most effective way to prevent the spread of FIV is to keep cats indoors or in a secure cat run - if they don’t come into contact with or fight infected cats, they can’t contract the virus.

A vaccine for FIV is available for cats aged eight weeks and older.

However, a cat must first be tested and return a negative result before vaccination can be administered.

The initial course consists of three doses, given two weeks apart, followed by annual boosters to maintain immunity.

It’s important to note that the vaccine is not always 100% effective, so reducing exposure through containment remains essential.

Always consult your veterinarian to determine whether the FIV vaccine is appropriate for your cat, based on their lifestyle and risk factors.

Case of bat virus confirmed in NSW

A man has died after contracting a deadly virus spread by bats, as the state health department issues a warning for those living near bat colonies.

A man from the Northern Rivers died last week, the first death in NSW from Bat Lyssavirus, and the fourth confirmed case in the country in nearly thirty years.

While emergency treatment is available, the man in his 50s died following infection, driving NSW Health to remind residents to steer clear of bats.

Keira Glasgow, a Director in Health Protection at NSW Health said lyssavirus is transmitted from infected bats to humans when virus in bat saliva enters the body through a bat bite or scratch.

“This is a very tragic situation,” Ms Glasgow said.

“The man had been bitten by a bat several months ago and received treatment following the injury.

“Further investigation is underway to understand whether other exposures or factors played a role in his illness.”

According to Ms Glasgow bat handling injuries occur more frequently than expected and with the fourth diagnosis of the lyssavirus in the state they have taken steps to urge locals to not approach or touch local bats.

“We know 118 people required medical assessment after being bitten or scratched by bats in 2024, but this is the first confirmed case of the virus in NSW, and the

fourth case in Australia,” Ms Glasgow said.

“It is incredibly rare for the virus to transmit to humans, but once symptoms of lyssavirus start in people who are scratched or bitten by an infected bat, sadly there is no effective treatment.”

Ms Glasgow urged people to assume that any bat in Australia could carry lyssavirus, and said this is why only trained, protected and vaccinated wildlife handlers should interact with bats.

“If you are bitten or scratched by a bat, urgent medical assessment is crucial,” she said.

“You will need to wash the wound thoroughly for 15 minutes right away with soap and water and apply an antiseptic with anti-virus action, such as betadine, and allow it to dry.

“You will then require treatment with rabies immunoglobulin and rabies vaccine.”

Australian bat lyssavirus is a close relative to the rabies virus.

The virus has been found in species of flying foxes, fruit bats and insect-eating microbats.

The best way to protect yourself from infection is to not touch bats.

If you see a bat in distress, injured or trapped on the ground, do not try to rescue it.

Instead, contact trained experts WIRES on 1300 094 737 or your local wildlife rescue group.

Rath fires to win monthly medal PARKES GOLF

By PETER BRISTOL July Monthly Medal The July Telescope Tyres/ Hankook Masters Monthly Medal was played on Saturday, and our day sponsor being Goosey Sports and Josh Miles.

As a former local, Josh has been behind the PGC and assisting with sponsoring over the last few years and we are grateful for the ongoing partnership.

The course was immaculate with Logan and Brenton working hard to present in tip top order.

There were 78 players enjoying the tilt at the monthly medal.

In A grade the scratch winner was Anthony Rath playing off a 1 handicap on the day.

Anthony has been with the club for some 12 months but doesn’t get the opportunity to play regularly.

He certainly fired on Saturday with an outward 39 including a birdie on the 8th then sailed in on the inward 9 with a 1 under 34 with 3 birdies to seal the win with his 73.

Next in was club Pro Zac Kelly on 74 trying to find some form, his round includ-

ed 4 birdies as well.

Riall Harrison really looked his old self with the 75 he compiled including 3 birdies and unfortunately a double on 16.

Aaron Wilkie and John Green just couldn’t get it going as they both shot 78s.

In the net event Beau Tanswell was uncatchable with his 67 off a 12 handicap 3 better than Riall and 5 better than Anthony Rath and the reliable Ian Phipps.

In the B grade scratch event Ian Hendry shot an impressive 87.

Ian hasn’t played for 6 weeks due to a travelling interlude, but that must have been the elixir he needed.

He finished 7 shots in front of Nathan Johnston, Ian Tucker and Richard Hutchinson.

In the net event Ian again swept the pool with his 72 again 5 better than Nathan with Wayne, Matthew Littlewood and Tony Hendry 1 stroke further back.

In C grade Col Breaden stood up with a solid 94 off the stick to beat home Dylan Hood by 2 shots with Luke Clyne a further stroke behind.

Col hasn’t completely fired over the last few weeks but has been building for a po-

dium finish.

In the net event it was Steve Collins with a 72 who took out the trophy, but not before withstanding a 3 way countback from Col and Luke.

The Griffins Leading Edge putting competition was won

by Jack Matthews on a countback at 27 putts.

The Norman family sponsored Wally Norman Vets Medal was won by Ian Phipps on 72, the exact same result as the last 2 months.

The Nearest The Pins on Saturday were –The Idlerite 1st was Leone Stevenson at 560cm, the Griffins Leading Edge was John Dwyer at 140cm, the Parkes Ready Mixed Concrete 9th by Addison Sharpe at 15cm, the Harvey Norman 11th by Andrew Bourke at 254cm and the 17th by Rod Luyt at 160cm.

The Money Hole was won

by Andrew Bourke at 254cm.

Ball winners were Riall Harrison 70, Ian Phipps, Luke Clyne 72, John Green 73, Rob Hey 74, Frankie Cock 75.

This coming weekend is a 2 Person Ambrose.

lan Rees congratulated the 23 players who took part as the weather had it all - freezing conditions, wind and at times misty rain.

But play they did with the winner from the local ranks Peter Scholefield bravely taking all laurels breaking handicap to post 38 points and while due to a small field there was no runner-up trophy but special mention to Parkes’ John Fowler next best with 37 points.

The punters pal John Milton backed a winner at the wrong end of the field taking home the “burner” for the encouragement award, while nearest-to-pins in all grades went to Alf Davies back after a successful knee operation.

In the twin-towns shield, Forbes 198 (14 players) and Parkes (nine) 185.

The ball sweep to 30 points: 33 - Frank Hanns (F), Steve Uphill (F), Allan Rees (F); 32 Richard Hamilton (P); 31 Alf Davies (F), 30 - Lindsay Elliott (P), Nym Dziuba (P), Ted Morgan (F), Kim Herbert (F).

Four teams advance to regional playoffs PARKES BOWLS

By COL MILLER We had four teams enter the Mid West Regional Triples Championships.

The senior men’s had two teams.

Darryl McKellar, Gary McPhee and Brett Frame travelled to Cowra.

The second team Guy Ellery, Mark Dwyer and Mark Fitzalan travelled to Dubbo.

The open reserves of Rod Ford, Nat Hancock and Tony Riordan travelled to Forbes.

The senior women’s team Marja Iffland, Cherie Frame

and Liz Byrne played at home.

The great news is that the four teams won their rounds and now advance to the playoffs on the 23 August at venues to be announced. Congratulations to all these bowlers, a great effort.

The weather was not very kind this week and social bowlers numbers were down but there were a few hardy souls.

There were 10 bowlers who played in the cold conditions on Thursday.

On Saturday in conditions not much better than Thurs-

day, we had 12 bowlers.

On Rink 4 John Carr, Geoff Smith and John Ward had a big win over Bernie Mitchell, Ann Smith and Graham Dixon 27 to 12.

On Rink 5 Steve Turner, Bob Freeman and Col Mudie won 21 to 19 over George Bradley, Mike Valentine and Peter McPhee.

We all hope the weather is a little kinder to us bowlers this week but don’t forget the club is nice and warm.

The lucky rink is $150 this Thursday and the members badge draw is $1700 and the meat trays and vouchers raffle are on Friday evening.

On a day that was blowing arctic air, 20 bowlers donned all the warm gear they had and headed out to play on a fast-skating rink.

Thanks, green keepers for all the hard work in this chilly weather.

Merilyn, Kay, Gwenda/Joan played Maureen, Irene A and Ann T, both teams played some good and many wayward bowls, but team Merilyn’s little duck got frozen, while team Miller skated ahead to comfortably take the game.

Kim, Anni and Chris skied well ahead in the start of their game against Betsy, Michelle and Lil, but team Betsy played some snappy bowls to almost catch team Kim but came up short at the finish line.

Jan/Marja, Lynn and Irene T got a glacial reception from Lorraine, Janice and Sue, who would not let the opposition warm up

at all to take a good win.

With the sound of chattering teeth and hands chilled to the bone, it was decided to finish a bit earlier and head to the warmth of the club, where everyone was looking for hot drinks and toasties.

The Lucky rink was drawn, 19, but Ann T drew the little duck again (2) so the jackpot will be $250 next week.

Anni S, Maureen and Michelle went home a little richer from the 100 club.

Next Tuesday, 15 July we are going to celebrate our Joan Simpson turning 90, so please bring along a small plate of savoury food to share and the cake will be cut for sweets.

Tuesday, 22 July will be a 22 day so wear a tutu or the number 22 to celebrate Irene T’s 80th birthday.

The final of the Club fours will be played this Saturday at 1pm between Jo, Jan, Rhona & Kim against Liz, Lorraine, Merilyn and Kay, good luck to both teams.

The ladies who braved the cold conditions to play on a fast-skating rink.

MacGregor part of historic year for Bulldogs RUGBY LEAGUE

By MADELINE BLACKSTOCK It is being hailed as “one of the most highly anticipated years in Canterbury Bulldogs Club’s proud history”, and 18-year-old Elizabeth MacGregor from Parkes is at the heart of it.

Elizabeth is the youngest member of the club’s inaugural NRLW side in its milestone 90th year.

“This is honestly such a privilege,” Elizabeth said.

“To come into the first ever women’s team for the Bulldogs in their 90th year in the NRL, it’s crazy, exciting and such an honour. I’m so grateful.”

After impressing in the Tarsha Gale Cup earlier in the year with the Bulldogs, Elizabeth was a key player in the side scoring many tries over the nine round competition.

“The competition was really good, it was tough but I really enjoyed it. I was with a new team so it was cool to meet new girls and just learn from a new club.”

Now she looks towards the NRLW season which is a massive step up, but one which Elizabeth has em-

braced wholeheartedly.

“The training is definitely more intense and the level up from Tarsha Gale just for the intensity and physicality,” she said.

“It feels so professional, and being around the girls every day builds that team bond. It’s been really good for my confidence.”

Elizabeth made the side for the Bulldogs’ first ever NRLW trial match resulting in a 24-18 win over the Parramatta Eels and says it was the perfect way to shake off the nerves.

“I was definitely nervous going into it but getting through that first game gave me so much more confidence and was my first experience of what NRLW is going to feel like,” she said.

“I ended up playing nearly the whole match which was really cool.”

Elizabeth said there has been one moment in the lead up to the season which has made this experience feel very real.

“We got brought out onto the field at the men’s games and they introduced us all individually on the big screen and then we did a walk of honour

around the field.

“Just signing all these little kids’ jerseys and stuff was so cool, it was awesome and felt so surreal.”

Joining the Bulldogs NRLW side alongside experienced players such as Tayla Preston and Holli Wheeler has brought new opportunities for Elizabeth.

“I’m looking forward to figuring out who I am as a player and just learning from the more experienced girls who have been in the NRLW for around five or six years now. I want to soak up everything I can from them.”

Elizabeth is passionate about the importance of creating opportunities for young girls in rugby league especially in the country.

“Those chances in the country are what got me into footy in the first place.

It’s why I’m here now,” she said.

Despite being the youngest in the squad, Elizabeth said the team dynamic is strong and inclusive.

“It’s obviously cool to be the youngest, but I feel like everyone’s treated the same.

The energy in the squad is amazing, it’s serious, it’s

Elizabeth MacGregor being introduced with the 2025 NRLW Bulldogs squad.

PHOTOS: Supplied professional, but we all support each other.”

The Bulldogs officially launched their NRLW campaign on Friday, 4 July against the Newcastle Knights in a historic double header at Accor Stadium alongside the men’s side.

The Bulldogs were able to claim their first victory of the season against the Knights 26-12.

This game marks the

beginning of an 11 round season that will end in the first ever three week top six NRLW finals series.

Their next game will be against Wests Tigers tonight at Campbelltown Sports Stadium kicking off at 7.45pm.

“I’m definitely nervous but so excited for what’s ahead. I just hope I can make my debut and keep building from here,” Elizabeth added.

Lady Boars New Zealand bound RUGBY UNION CHRISTINE LITTLE

BUSINESS

What began as a suggestion on the way home from a rugby trip, a few days later became a serious question put to our female rugby players.

They saw an opportunity too good to pass up and now they’re heading to New Zealand in September for a four-day development tour.

It’s been made possible thanks to the Parkes Boars’ strong ties with international clubs and players.

And this year, women’s coach Kevin Oliver said, the side just happened to have Madi Barclay-George from New Zealand join their ranks.

“And we had three girls (from New Zealand) play for the Boars last year,” he said.

“While on the way home from a rugby trip at Boorowa, Tonga Folau (assistant coach) made mention that we should go to New Zealand on a tour with a little giggle, then he went back to sleep.

“So when we got to training the following Thursday night I asked the team if everyone was keen to go to New Zealand on tour.

The Parkes Boars women auctioned off their one-of-a-kind jerseys after their home game and ladies day on Saturday, with the funds going towards their New Zealand tour.

“Madi gave us the contact over there and now we are heading over.”

So far 18 players have signed up with the possibility of more, women’s president Natalie Caruana said.

This end-of-season tour will give the team the opportunity to build on their skills and play a curtain-raiser match against the North Otago Women’s Rugby Team.

They’ll also have a training session with the North Otago Women’s rugby development coach Colleen Carroll.

The Boars fly out on September 25

to begin their tour on September 26.

“Everyone is excited, it’s a good opportunity,” Natalie said.

She said the trip came as a nice surprise for players, and some are now taking their families with them and will holiday after the tour.

But first the side needs to fundraise to get themselves there.

They’re running a 100s club, wood raffle, 10 tins fundraiser and an “epic” ice bucket challenge.

The club has rounded-up 15 brave Boars to take on the buckets to help raise as much money as they can.

It’s being done as a silent auction where the highest bidder on each Boar participating in the challenge will have the honour of pouring the ice bucket over them.

It’ll take place on Saturday, 19 July during sponsors day at Spicer Oval, some time after the women’s game which kicks off at 12.45pm.

The Boars taking part in the ice bucket challenge are Madi BarclayGeorge, Jordan Gaffney, Caitie Ann, Meaghan Kempson, Tess Woods (who’s also an assistant coach), Cailin Westcott, Ella Macgregor, Kevin Oliver, Tonga Folau, Darcy Summerhayes, club president Mackenzie Green, Ben Ryan, Jason Lowe, Zac Guy and Christopher Parker.

Anyone can place a bid but they have to do it at the clubhouse during training on Tuesday and Thursday nights or the home game on the 19th. The Boars have a bye this weekend.

If you can’t be there on the day don’t worry, they said they’ll be live streaming every glorious second.

LADY BOARS NEW ZEALAND BOUND What began as a suggestion on the way home from a rugby trip was quickly seen as an opportunity too good to pass up and now our female rugby players are heading to New Zealand in September for a four-day development tour. The Parkes Boars are having an ‘epic’ ice bucket fundraiser on 19 July to help send players, such as (back) Chloe Smith, Joselyne Folau and Tess Woods and (front) Britt Ryan and Emma Evans, to New Zealand.

WRAS honours for Henry and Elly Parkes athletes have received some of the top honous at the Western Region Academy of Sport’s (WRAS) annual presentation evening in Bathurst.

Our squash superstar Henry Kross who was part of the Future Stars program was announced as the Future Stars Athlete of the Year and 2025 WRAS Athlete of the Year runner-up.

“Receiving the WRAS award was exciting and really surprising,” he said.

“It was my first year being part of the WRAS Future Stars program, so to be nominated was a shock, and to be runner up amongst so much

talent was amazing.”

In the time he was part of the program Henry has had some impressive achievements including winning the U15 National Junior Squash Championships at Australian Juniors and finishing second in the U17 Australian Junior Squash Open which is a World Squash Federation Sanctioned event.

Henry was also named in the Australian Junior Men’s National Squash Talent Squad which supports players with the potential to represent Australia in the next three years in the Team Event at the World Squash Junior Championships.

Last week Henry competed at the NSW CHS Championships becoming the first athlete to claim the U15 championship three times.

Henry was then selected to represent NSW CHS in Cains later in the year where he hopes to gain another Australian selected.

Henry will be NSW’s number one player alongside Parkes High School student Max Jones who will be NSW’s number two.

Lochie Jones was also selected in the team as their number five ranked player.

It has been a year of new competition for the squash athlete moving up to a new age group.

“I’ve moved up to under 17’s. It’s really challenging playing people I’m not used to and being one of the youngest can be tough as my opponents have more experience and are quite physical.”

Henry will be up against the best under 17 squash athletes in the state from 18 to 20 July as he is off to the NSW Championships.

“I’m training hard to prepare to hopefully get selected in the NSW Bluetongues to compete at Ballarat,” Henry said.

“I’m also looking to play some men’s events on the Satellite Pro Tour.”
