Crunch time for Trangie Magpies

What a wet, wild week in the central west

By SHARON BONTHUYS

WHEN the Trangie Magpies Rugby League Club holds its Annual General Meeting (AGM) later this month, it will be the third attempt in as many months. The fi rst two times, August 25 and September 21, had to be abandoned due to lack of attendance. Will it be third time lucky for the struggling club? Will those who care about the club and its future in Trangie step up, show up and put their hands up to help keep it alive? Club president Luke Phillips hopes so, because October’s AGM is crunch time. If the October meeting cannot fi ll the executive positions in the committee, or field enough members to make a quorum to vote, the club will fold. Plain and simple. The proud club with an even prouder history will no longer exist. Luke is spearheading the mission to save the club from folding and to return to competition in 2023. “We folded half way through this year due to lack of players and lack of helpers,” Luke said. Both the men’s and women’s teams pulled out of the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League, unable to field teams for several matches or afford the hefty fees that would come with forfeiting matches.

TWO wet weather systems hit the Narromine Shire and other parts of the central west NSW last week, dumping more than a month’s rain on already saturated land. Between Wednesday and Saturday, the two systems caused widespread ﬂooding across large swathes of the central west as well as other parts of NSW as local rivers and waterways were simply unable to cope with the heavy rainfall and run-off. On October 4, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) warned of the impending monster system stretching from Tasmania to north Queensland. It rolled in on October 5, bucketing entire states including Tasmania, Victoria and NSW, as well as the ACT and about two-thirds of Queensland. After the ﬁ rst wave of wet weather, a low pressure system brought fresh misery over the weekend, with torrential rain falling for much of Saturday. A self-serve sandbagging station was set up at the Narromine Showground next to the pavilion, with residents invited to bring a shovel and prepare their own sandbags. The downpour dumped masses of water on the Tomingley Road, forcing its closure, and further misery on the McGrane Way/Tullamore Road which was already closed from the previous

Trangie received 33.8 mm in the Saturday rain dump according to rainfall data, but we were unable to get ﬁgures for Tomingley. On Sunday at Narromine, the Macquarie-Wambuul River had begun to seep into the Noel Powell rugby league

River rises at Glenella and closes Warren Road By SHARON BONTHUYS LIVING along the Macquarie-Wambuul River brings with it the knowledge that it will periodically ﬂood when the right conditions are in place, such as they were last week. Ross and Karen Shearwood’s property north of Narromine received some inundation from the river rising following last week’s deluges. When the Narromine Star spoke to Ross Shearwood on October 10, he thought the river was close to peaking and would not go much higher. “It has crossed the Warren Road at the intersection with Woodleigh Road, and it’s the ﬁ rst time it has done that since 2010,” Ross said. He recalls being cut off for seven or eight days in 2010 as the road was impassable. “I don’t think [the river is] going to be an issue this time,” he said. “But, it’s all primed and ready to go. If we have another major event then it’s going to get quite nasty. You’ve got Windemere Dam now spilling into Burrendong, so that adds an extra complexity to it. “The last time I looked at it, Burrendong it was 130 per cent full so it’s got reduced capacity to mitigate if we have another rain event until they can clear some of it and get some

more space in the dam.” Ross said that the riverine flooding was not impacting his property but he had concerns for neighbouring properties if the situation worsened. “If it was to get worse it would start to become an issue for some of the farms around because water runs across the Warren Road and into the cowals, and goes around the back low-lying areas to other farms that are further away from the river. “Oddly enough, the people who get affected the most are away from the river. The further west you go the lower it gets. As soon as the water gets over the bank it heads west, back towards Trangie,” he said. With more rain forecast this week, Ross said he had been watching the forecasts and wasn’t overly worried at this stage. However, he said that if rain continued to fall over the next few months he thought there was the risk of a moderate flood occurring. Ross said that since the 1955-56 floods which devastated the region, the subsequent floods have not reached that same level. “I’ve seen water across the road probably six times in my life,” he said. Narromine Shire Council closed Warren Road on October 10. At the time of publication, the road was still closed.

Faster counselling for farmers A new, dedicated phone line will allow farmers across the country to quickly and easily connect with the Rural Aid counselling team. The direct line will ensure farmers are provided a faster and more trauma-informed response to their request for counselling. Rural Aid’s counsellors are based across the country and offer free, conﬁdential counselling to farmers and their families. Rural Aid’s Manager of Mental Health and Wellbeing, Lauren Stracey, said the team will be able to prioritise and respond to calls more effectively with the new number. “We know that it’s important to have a trained counsellor help guide farmers through the period of reaching out for help,” Ms Stracey said. “By initiating a dedicated 1300-line, farmers are able to access a trained counsellor who can support them with referrals for immediate needs, while getting a sense of their story and matching them with the most appropriate support.

Sun protection recommended from 9.10am to 4.30pm, UV Index predicted to reach 9 [Very High] Friday, October 14 Min 12 Max 20Rain. Possible rainfall: 15 to 20mm. Chance of any rain: 95% Central West Slopes and Plains area Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of rain, most likely in the morning. The chance of a thunderstorm in the morning and afternoon. Winds north to northeasterly 25 to 35km/h

shifting west to southwesterly 20 to 30km/h during the morning. Overnight temperatures falling to between 10 and 14 with daytime temperatures reaching between 18 and 21. Sun protection recommended from 9.20am to 4.20pm, UV Index predicted to reach 8 [Very High] Saturday, October 15 Min 6 Max 21Partly cloudy. Chance of any rain: 0% Central West Slopes and Plains area Mostly sunny. Light winds.

“Taking the ﬁ rst step in seeking support takes guts, but once you’ve done it you realise counselling is really just another tool you can use to get through tough times. “Rural Aid is experiencing an increase in the number of farmers reaching out for help at the moment. Some farmers are now at the stage where they are ready for mental health support, after experiencing disaster earlier this year. Also, farmers may have felt an increased sense of anxiety since the conﬁ rmation of a third La Niña event. “We want to make sure that if a farmer is ready to explore the idea of counselling, that we are there straight away to assist,” Ms Stracey said. To get in touch with a Rural Aid counsellor, phone 1300 175 594. This phone line is staffed by a Rural Aid counsellor between 9am and 5pm AEST, Monday to Friday. If you or someone you know needs support, please call: 131114 – Lifeline, lifeline.org.au 1300 224636 – Beyond Blue, beyondblue.org.au/forums 1800 551800 – Kids Helpline, kidshelpine.com.au

From page 1 THE rising Macquarie-Wambuul River forced the closure of the Warren Road on October 10, as floodwater crossed the road. The BOM reported major flooding of the Macquarie River at Warren, expected to peak at 9.70 metres on October 11. It also reported that the Bogan River at Dandaloo may peak near 5.90 metres overnight on October 11, with moderate flooding at Dandaloo, Mudall and Nyngan. NSW Incident Alerts site warned on October 11: “A trough approaching from the west of NSW is expected to bring rain and thunderstorms to the central and southern inland of the state during Thursday and Friday [this week] as it crosses the state. “This rainfall may cause renewed flooding along rivers in parts of the central west and south west catchments from Friday, many of which

are experiencing ongoing ﬂooding due to previous rainfall in recent months.” Narromine Shire Council’s General Manager, Jane Redden, said: “Council will be working over the coming weeks to establish a program of priority works to be undertaken on ﬂood damaged roads when conditions improve and the road network is dry enough to allow.” The council has been actively posting road closure and other relevant information on its social media account and its road network crews have been busy closing impacted sealed roads as needed. Unsealed roads have been closed for varying periods depending on weather conditions. Further announcements will be made in the coming days, Ms Redden said.

With the Emergency Services Day scheduled for October 14 in Narromine now cancelled due to the forecast, we are also deprived of the opportunity to thank our local emergency services workers for all that they do and have done for our communities. The event will be rescheduled. IT’S a big shire but we’ve managed to get some stories and photos of different people’s experiences with the downpour last week. This is only a small selection from around the shire, and we ask readers to bear in mind that many people are busy dealing with the impacts of rain on their land. The Narromine Star welcomes your contributions should you wish to share them.

By SHARON BONTHUYS GREG MacIntyre’s property at Narwonah south of Narromine was covered with water following last week’s deluges. He estimates that 125 mm of rain fell over several days on his property. He sent the Narromine Star a number of photos showing the blanket of water covering his land. Fortunately, it didn’t rise high enough to enter his house or his shed. “It was ﬂowing under the house but it

didn’t get into the shed. The shed is a bit lower.” When the Narromine Star spoke to Greg on October 10, he said that he had received about 60mm of rain alone on October 8, when the photos were taken. “It was gone by Sunday afternoon,” he said. Flooding was also widespread along Narwonah Siding Road, Greg said. “It’s underwater from the railway line to the Tullamore Road [McGrane Way].”

Red Cross helps reunite families and friends in NSW floods THE Red Cross has opened Register.Find. Reunite. (RFR) and is urging people affected by the NSW Severe Weather Event this month to get in touch with their families and friends. “Being separated from family and friends is one of the most stressful things a person can experience during an emergency,” said Red Cross State Manager Emergency Services, Diana Bernardi. “Not knowing where your loved ones are, not being able to contact them by phone or email, adds to that anxiety. This service helps ﬁ nd and reunite family, friends and loved ones during a disaster. “If you or a loved one have been affected by ﬂooding in NSW, Red Cross encourages

you to register or inquire through the RFR service.” People can register or look for someone on the Red Cross website from a computer or any mobile device, or register and inquire in person at an evacuation or relief centre. The service matches registrations from people affected by an emergency to enquiries made by their loved ones searching for news. Where a match is made, the person who made the inquiry will be notiﬁed. It is important for emergency management agencies to know where people are during emergencies. By registering with the RFR service, you are also letting important services know that you are OK and what support you may need, the Red Cross says.

PROPOSED LEASE OF UNUSED ROADWAY, TRANGIE Narromine Shire Council is proposing to enter into a new lease agreement with Graincorp Limited for an unused roadway in Trangie (see marked area).

Mandatory self-isolation for positive COVID cases ends this week By SHARON BONTHUYS FOLLOWING an announcement by the Prime Minister on September 30, it will no longer be mandatory to self-isolate at home if you test positive to COVID-19 from October 14. This position was agreed to unanimously by the national cabinet. Until 14 October, residents must continue to self-isolate if they test positive for COVID-19. Household and close contacts must also follow the guidelines. Despite this announcement, “NSW Health strongly recommends people who are sick or have tested positive to COVID-19 stay home until their symptoms have gone. “Some restrictions will still apply for high-risk settings such as healthcare and aged care facilities,” the NSW Health website states.

What is the current status of COVID-19? THE Australian Government’s Department of Health and Aged Care (DHAC) website states that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic declaration made by the World Health Organisation on March 11, 2020 is “still active”. “Over the last week, 36,242 cases of COVID-19 were reported across Australia, an average of 5,177 cases per day,” the DHAC site reported on October 11. This is down from a high of over 110,000 cases reported nationally in mid-January 2022. Just under 4,000 cases were reported in NSW last week according to the NSW Health website, down almost 1,000 cases from the previous week. Of these, 954 were in hospital, 23 patients were in intensive care and 41 people had died across the previous week. Narromine shire local government area recorded nine new cases in the past four weeks while the Western NSW Local Health District recorded 704 cases in the same timeframe. Since the start of the pandemic, 1.9 million cases have been reported in NSW, with 5,355 deaths as at October 6, 2022, according to the NSW Health website. DHAC reports that 89.4 per cent of the NSW population has received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccination.

By SHARON BONTHUYS LOCALS couldn’t quite believe their eyes when a small airship appeared in the skies around the Narwonah Silo earlier this week. The airship and a drone were deployed on October 10 as part of a data-gathering exercise by a team from the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) and the University of Queensland. Roughly the size of two vehicles end to end, the airship was an interesting sight in the air above the silo.

The team was able to take advantage of the window of ﬁ ne weather to launch the airship and drone, Professor Jae-Hoon Jung said, referencing the bad weather conditions of late last week.

Optus hack was a data breach By SHARON BONTHUYS

ON September 22, Australian telecommunications and internet giant Optus notiﬁed customers of a “cyberattack compromising customer information.” Known generally as the “Optus Hack”, it has been reported that up to 10 million current and former Optus customers may have had their private and conﬁdential personal details stolen in the heist, some of which has been posted online. “Information which may have been exposed includes customers’ names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and, for a subset of customers, addresses, ID document numbers such as driver’s licence or passport numbers. Payment detail and account passwords have not been compromised,” Optus states on its website. However, it has also become known since then that thousands of customers’ Medicare numbers have also been obtained through the breach. The Narromine Star asked local resident tech enthusiast DeveloperSteve Coochin about how something like this could happen. “This was no hack, it was a data breach!” he said. “I’ve been following this one fairly closely and it has created a bit of a stir amongst the security and tech folks mostly because it wasn’t actually a “hack” in the usual cybersecurity sense. “To delve into that a little bit more, the data was accessed via an API. These are industry standard [application programming interfaces (API)] that allow access to a system or platform with some level of security in place. “They are used within a huge number of applications to do everything from ordering food, streaming music or doing just about anything most people do without even realising from their mobile phones. “From what has been disclosed around the data breach, the data was accessed via an unauthenticated API. This means any device connected to the entire internet (billions of devices) could have accessed that data at any time,” DeveloperSteve said. When someone tries to access systems like this, a data trail is recorded including the origin of the request (the Internet Protocol or “IP” address of the device making the request) time and date stamps and other information, including what was requested. “Given there were over 10 million customers in the database this would mean that there would have been a very, very big spike in data being requested,” DeveloperSteve said. Whether it was one request for ten million individuals’ information or ten million separate requests for information is unknown. Despite reports that the information was posted to the “dark web” where there is a strong market buying and selling personal information for

Data from the Transport for NSW open data portal. PHOTO: TFNSW WEBSITE. nefarious purposes, the Optus breach data was not sent there, DeveloperSteve said. “Curiously, the identiﬁed actor in the breach did not post to the actual dark web but to a clearnet (normal internet site) called ‘breached.to’,” he said. What could emerge from the massive data breach is a potential increase in scamming, where malicious attempts are made to solicit or extort personal information or money from people using a range of formats including text messages to phones, emails, and hacking of unsecured social media accounts and devices. An arrest has already been made of a 19-year-old person allegedly attempting to extort money from a cohort of Optus customers using leaked information from the data breach. DeveloperSteve cautioned anyone impacted by the Optus data breach about posting information about their experience on social media. “I think it would be wise to refrain from posting about being an affected person on social media, as this can potentially be used to validate that it has occured to someone,” he said.

What is the federal government doing? THE Federal Government has moved swiftly to prepare amendments to the Telecommunications Regulations 2021 to better protect Australians following the Optus data breach. The Government will recommend to the Governor-General that the regulations be amended to allow Optus and other telcos to better coordinate with ﬁ nancial institutions, the Commonwealth, and states and territories, to detect and mitigate the risks of cyber security incidents, frauds, scams and other malicious cyber activities. Federal Treasurer, the Hon

Dr Jim Chalmers MP said on October 6: “Our Government has been working in lockstep with banks and financial regulators to facilitate the safe and secure sharing of data between Optus and regulated fi nancial institutions, with appropriate safeguards, to improve consumer protection. “Financial institutions can play an important role in targeting their efforts towards protecting customers at greatest risk of fraudulent activity and scams in the wake of the recent Optus breach. These new measures will assist in protecting customers from scams, and in system-wide fraud detection,” Dr Chalmers said. The amendments will enable telecommunications companies to temporarily share approved government identifier information (such as drivers licence, Medicare and passport numbers of affected customers) with regulated fi nancial services entities to allow them to implement enhanced monitoring and safeguards for customers affected by the data breach. The proposed regulations have been carefully designed with strong privacy and security safeguards to ensure that only limited information can be made available for certain purposes. Approved recipients of the data must satisfy robust information security requirements and protocols for any transfer and storage of data, and information received must be destroyed once it is no longer required. The proposed changes will also allow for increased fraud detection in the broader financial services sector through existing industry mechanisms to report fraudulent transactions, such as fraud information exchanges.

Caught in the Optus data breach? By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Courier-Mail in Queensland reported that more than 7,000 customers sought to gain new licences in the wake of the Optus breach. The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads will provide free replacement licences with new card numbers for people whose identity information Optus has identified as having been compromised. The Narromine Star sought clarification from Service NSW about the situation in NSW. We were keen to fi nd out how many NSW residents may also have sought to gain new licences as a result of the Optus breach. We were directed to an open data portal on the Transport for NSW website which provides several graphs. The only information we could get on the replacement of licences is a graph that provides data on reports of “stolen” licences. This graph shows that between September 22 and September 30, 2022 (the latest date when we can gain data from that site at this time) some 26,718 driver’s licences were reported “stolen” in NSW. However, we cannot determine from these figures exactly how many of the replacement licences were due to the Optus breach. Services NSW directed the Narromine Star back to Optus for figures on NSW residents impacted by the breach. On the “stolen” licences graph, we were able to drill down further to local government area and found that within the Narromine Shire, nine drivers’ licences were reported “stolen” between September 22 and September 30, 2022. Data for October was not available prior to publication. Sadly, unlike our Queensland counterparts, NSW residents impacted by the Optus data breach who seek to replace their driver’s licences

cannot do so for free. NSW residents must pay for new licences to be issued and then seek restitution from Optus according to the Service NSW website, which also says: “There is no need to replace your NSW driver licence unless Optus has informed you that both your licence number and your card number were compromised. The licence number on its own is not enough to pass a [Document Verification Service] DVS check.” The DVS is used by institutions like banks to verify a person’s identity, and for NSW licence holders this requires both the licence number and card number, the website states. For further information, visit the Service NSW website. The good news – if there is any – is that the federal government will reissue Medicare cards and passports free of charge to impacted residents.

Scientists’ concern over chemicals By SHARON BONTHUYS LAST month five scientists co-signed a statement of concern about vegetation degradation in intensive agronomic areas. Chaired by Richard Thackway, Adjunct Associate Professor of Environmental Sciences at the Australian National University, the group also includes Dr Peter Ampt, Dr Barbara MacTaggart, Dr David Goldney and Michael Longhurst. All hold scientific qualifications and have been involved in teaching or consulting in environment, natural resources and or agriculture. Three hold Adjunct Professor roles with tertiary institutions. All of them have visited the Narromine Shire and viewed the local landscape. “We are a group of concerned scientists who have personally observed significant vegetation stress and decline in areas where cropping and other agronomic enterprises are the dominant land use. “We are convinced, both individually and as a group, that there is enough evidence to investigate the links between the status of vegetation health and the chemicals used to support these agronomic enterprises,” the signed statement reads. Widespread clearing has significantly reduced the cover and integrity of native vegetation, and climate change is considered a further threat to the remaining areas, the statement indicates. “Substantial fi nancial and in-kind contributions from public and private sources have already been allocated to protecting and enhancing native vegetation across all land tenures, and we believe that, as a society, we have both the need and the responsibility to address this marked unintended decline. “The current run of wet seasons has resulted in vegetation recovery in many areas, but this is not evident in areas of intensive agronomic production where chemical use can be intense and application and use can change over time. “For example, current best practice in cropping involves chemical weed control in fallowing, which is usually done using tractor-mounted spray rigs. In addition, some plants are chemically defoliated before harvest.

“With the widespread use of herbicide resistant varieties, there has been a change in the types and numbers of applications of selective herbicides needed for successful weed control. The timing of this application can be critical as farmers rush to harvest valuable crops before wet weather threatens to damage them. When the soil is too wet, spraying is often done from the air increasing the potential for chemical drift.” The scientists are concerned that the degradation is not coming from natural causes and is happening at a rapid rate despite periods of drought followed by increasing rainfall between 2018 and 2022. “Our concern is that if nothing is done, we could see further widespread decline in biodiversity and the collapse of complex terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Also, there could be signiﬁcant compromises to organic and regenerative agricultural enterprises and carbon sequestration initiatives. The group says that impacts and potential consequences of chemical drift include leaf necrosis and defoliation of native vegetation, herbicides entering waterways, soil health damage, decimation of local insect populations and subsequent threats to bird species that consume those insects, as well pest-related vegetation disease from the loss of beneﬁcial birds and insect species. “Our discussions with land managers and their families have also raised concerns about public health effects of chemical drift. Where their health is not just the absence of disease or illness and includes social well-being, mental and physical state,” the statement reads. Last November, an independent preliminary report authored by Dr Goldney, commissioned by Macquarie Valley Landcare Group Inc, suggested there is a prima facie case that overspray and drift from aerially applied cotton defoliants is the likely cause of the severe damage to vegetation, native and non-native, readily observable in the Narromine-Trangie area. Dr Goldney is an Adjunct Professor with Charles Sturt University’s Institute of Land, Water and Society.

Slow down in school zones MOTORISTS are reminded to slow down and watch for children now that the new school term has started this week, and with it, school zones have come back into force. Transport for NSW Deputy Secretary for Safety, Environment and Regulation Tara McCarthy said drivers must remain vigilant in school zones which are generally in place from 8 to 9.30am and from 2.30 to 4pm. “With the state dealing with more wet weather, it is particularly important to stay safe on our roads and we are reminding motorists to take extra care, especially in school zones,” Ms McCarthy said. “Motorists need to slow down near schools. Just a couple of kilometres over the speed limit could be the difference between being able to stop in time or not at all.” Ms McCarthy said school zones are clearly marked with ﬂashing lights and school zone signs. “Motorists who don’t obey the rules put lives at risk and face heavy ﬁ nes and demerits points, which can be higher within school zones.” For more information on school zones please visit the Centre for Road Safety website and the Safety Town school road safety education site.

Independent review of Inland Rail announced By SHARON BONTHUYS ON October 7, the Australian Government announced the appointment of Dr Kerry Schott AO to lead an independent review into the Inland Rail project. It is intended that the review will take a close look at the planning, governance and delivery of Inland Rail and will consider the process for selecting the route, including stakeholder consultation, and assess the project’s scope, schedule and cost. The review will also assess options for the new Inland Rail intermodal terminals to be built in Melbourne and Brisbane, and improving rail links to the ports in these cities. Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Gov-

ernment Catherine King made the announcement with Federal Minister for Finance, Senator Katy Gallagher. “We are delivering on our election commitment to undertake an independent review to get this nationally important project making progress again without further delays and with improved community consultation,” Minister King said. “The review will give the Government a cleareyed view on what the problems are and the way forward. “Dr Schott is a highly respected and trusted leader who brings a wealth of experience from both the business and government sectors to the role. She will conduct a thorough and independent review of Inland Rail and make recommendations to en-

sure this nationally signiﬁcant project is successfully delivered,” Minister King said. Senator Gallagher said: “Inland Rail is supporting local jobs and growing Australian companies, with more than $2.7 billion in contracts being awarded to over 400 suppliers and businesses across the country. “The program has also provided work for more than 3,600 locals in the communities surrounding Parkes and Narromine, and further north in Moree which, in turn, has boosted these local economies. “It is important that we consider expert advice on critical issues of safety, delivery scope, cost and schedule as we look to deliver this signiﬁcant investment in the national freight network,” Senator Gallagh-

er said. The independent review will have regard to existing studies, such as the Toowoomba to Gladstone Inland Rail Extension Business Case and is expected to be completed by early 2023. The terms of reference include examining “ARTC’s engagement and consultation approach including options to improve engagement with communities and other stakeholders along the route; and develop a pathway to consider community concerns with the alignment.” The ﬁ ndings of the review will be released once the government has an opportunity to consider them. On the same day as the review announcement, Inland Rail released the Final Report of the Independent Interna-

tional Panel of Experts for Flood Studies (the Panel) of Inland Rail in Queensland. The 83-page report, referred to in the Australian Government’s Inland Rail review announcement, states “the Panel found ARTC’s modelling framework to be in accordance with both national guidelines and current industry best practice with the issues in the [Issues Management Register] to be addressed.” Minister King said “the Government welcomes the ﬁ ndings of the Panel and will work with both the Queensland Government and ARTC to implement the Panel’s recommendations.” Inland Rail is a tristate project covering Queensland, NSW and Victoria. When asked if similar ﬂood study reports will be prepared

for NSW and Victoria, a spokesperson for ARTC said “the development of flood models to inform the design of Inland Rail is undertaken on a case by case basis to address flood risk as part of environmental planning and approvals process in NSW and Victoria. “In NSW the environmental impact statement (EIS) process includes a requirement for the independent assessment of flood modelling for Inland Rail. These independent reports are published as part of the documentation that is released for each section during the public EIS exhibition.” Further information about the review of Inland Rail, its terms of reference and the Queensland flood studies can be found on the ARTC Inland Rail website.

More LGAs eligible for disaster assistance FOURTEEN Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the Parkes electorate will now be able to access disaster assistance for ﬂooding that has occurred from September 14. The Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gunnedah, Gwydir, Lachlan, Moree Plains, Narrabri, Narromine, Walgett, Warren and Warrumbungle LGAs are all eligible for assistance, which will come as a great relief, particularly as most of these areas are currently experiencing ﬂooding. A number of these LGAs were also disaster-declared in August, so it has been a challenging few months. Hopefully this assistance will go some way to helping with the recovery, especially for councils to repair the increasing number of roads damaged by the wet weather. Assistance available under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements includes: f Help for residents whose homes or belongings were damaged f Support for local councils to help with the costs of cleaning up and restoring damaged essential public assets f Concessional interest rate

Call for funding to repair water-damaged roads OUR regional roads are suffering as a result of the relentless rain and flooding that we’ve experienced across the Parkes electorate in recent months. This issue will only continue over the summer months as we enter our third La Niña wet season in a row, with already full dams, overflowing riverways and saturated grounds. Having driven thousands of kilometres throughout the electorate over the past few months, I’ve seen fi rst-hand just how bad some of the roads are – they’re a real danger and are in urgent need of repairs for the safety of all road users. However, our local councils’ resources are stretched, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to maintain roads due to the combination of wet weather and lack of funding. I’m calling for the Labor Government to look into providing measures for local councils to fund these much-needed repairs, and Obey all signs about road closures and instructions from emergency services. Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in flood water. It is dangerous, toxic, and may void your car insurance. If it’s flooded, forget it. Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines, creeks, and rivers. People in areas likely to be impacted by flooding should raise their assets, including waste and chemical containers above expected flood heights. Share this information with family, friends, and neighbours and help others prepare where possible. If you are likely to be isolated due to flooding, stock up on essential items now. Farmers should consider moving

have written to Infrastructure Minister Catherine King to highlight this issue. An emergency road repair program would complement the successful Local Roads and Community Infrastructure and Roads to Recovery programs, ensuring these dangerous roads are ﬁ xed as soon as possible.

Two great community assets now opened I had the pleasure of attending the openings of two great community projects in Cobar and Armatree last week. I opened the upgraded Cobar Youth and Community Centre last Tuesday. This fantastic facility provides the young people of Cobar with a safe space to get together with friends, which is so important in our rural towns. It’s also somewhere the wider community can meet and stay active. The former government provided $304,371 for the installation of a lift to enable the upstairs area to be utilised as a gym, community room and viewing area for the squash courts, ensuring the entire community is able to access these great facilities. On Thursday I then attended the opening of the Big ArmaTree sculpture in the village of Armatree. Part of the upgraded Armatree Memorial Precinct, which the former government contributed $73,000 in funding to help beautify the area, the project connects all elements of the precinct together through pathways, landscaping, lighting and signage boards. I have no doubt that this will become a popular destination for tourists, cementing Armatree on pumps and farm equipment to higher ground. Farmers and Property owners are advised to check on their livestock and properties during daylight hours, whilst also advising someone of their estimated times of return. Do not enter flood waters. For emergencies call 000. I’M encouraging farmers and landholders to plan ahead and report any flood damage to their properties using the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) disaster damage survey. The wet weather period we’re experiencing continues to be a real challenge at a critical time for our primary industries sector in NSW. That’s why it’s important for landholders across the State to report any flood damage to their properties, including land, in-

Have your say on the first national soil action plan YOU have from now until early November to have your say on Australia’s fi rst national action plan on soil. Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry spokesperson, Nick Blong, invited all stakeholders across the broad range of sectors supporting healthy soils to help shape the fi nal action plan. “As the fi rst action plan under the 20-year National Soil Strategy, it is important that there is a focus on setting good foundations for future actions to halt and reverse soil degradation and improve soil health,” Mr Blong said. “For example, the department is currently progressing important soil data work including working with CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, to build an Australian National Soil Information System. This will

allow soil data from different systems to be combined into a single system – underpinning future research and soil management. “Soil provides essential ecosystem services that support and contribute to: Australia’s economic, environmental, and social wellbeing, including food and ﬁbre production, water storage, ﬁ ltration and nutrient cycling, and carbon storage. “The draft action plan outlines six priority actions for improving Australia’s soil health and long-term soil security. It will guide national action to provide a solid foundation to restore and protect Australian soil over the long term,” Mr Blong said. You can view the draft action plan and provide feedback at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) website.

Menopause keeps women from the workforce ACCORDING to the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST), menopause costs women more than $17 billion per year in lost earnings and superannuation. AIST, the peak body for the $1.6 trillion proﬁt-to-member super sector, said recent British studies indicated up to a quarter of menopausal women experienced debilitating symptoms leading to longterm absences from work or forcing them into early

retirement. “We know that women have had to resign or reduce their hours because of symptoms. “The statistics do not surprise me. We know that in Australia 80 per cent of women experience menopausal symptoms that can range from mild to extremely severe. Many women have had to resign, reduce their hours, or go part time because these symptoms can last up to ten years,” said Janet Michelmore AO, CEO of national not-

for-proﬁt organisation Jean Hailes for Women’s Health. The organisation is dedicated to the health of all women, girls and gender-diverse people. It was founded 30 years ago in honour of pioneering medical practitioner, Dr Jean Hailes, who established the nation’s ﬁ rst women’s health clinic dedicated to menopause. “With October being World Menopause Month, it’s time to increase awareness that menopause is a natural part

of a woman’s life. Important conversations and increased education for women and their health practitioners around menopause have to become the norm,” said Ms Michelmore. “We need to break taboos around menopause and ﬁ nd ways to keep women in the workforce. “Management and treatment options for menopause are available. The Jean Hailes website is a rich source of expert-reviewed and recently

updated menopause information, with fact sheets, booklets podcasts and videos. “We need to break taboos around the topic of menopause and encourage women, their partners and families, and workplaces to acknowledge this life stage and talk more openly about it. “We need to ﬁ nd options and uncover more ways to keep women in the workplace so they can contribute to society and the economy as they wish to,” Ms Michelmore.

Grant for Trangie soldiers memorial hall project By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Narromine Shire Council has received a grant of $3,000 for a project to be undertaken at the Trangie Soldiers Memorial Hall. The Council was one of 20 successful funding recipients announced in round one of the NSW Government’s Community War Memorials Fund 2022–2023. The grant will fund a condition assessment report of the hall including specification for physical works. Further information about what is proposed was not available prior to publication. “War memorials help local communities commemorate the sacrifice of servicemen and women and reflect more than 100 years of service and sacrifices made by our veterans,” said Minister for Transport, Veterans and Western Sydney, David Elliott. The Soldiers Memorial Hall is an important facility in Trangie and will celebrate its centenary in 2027. Opened by Brigadier General Cox and formally dedicated on October 12, 1927, the memorial was built to commemorate those local community members who served and were killed during the First World War. The Narromine News and Trangie Advocate (NSW), September 8, 1926, said this about the plans for the memorial: “The movement for the erection of a suitable memorial to the Trangie lads who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War has at last arrived at a stage where the much desired memorial hall will be undertaken. A meeting of the committee was held at the Imperial Hotel on Saturday, August 28, when the following members were in attendance: Messrs. W. N. Lane (Chairman), A. K. Butter, senr., A. K Butter. junr., S. W. Austin, A. A. McVicar. J. T. Horrigan, E. Weeken, E. Brennup, T. J. Brown, and Dr. Maclean (Secretary).”

The Macquarie-Castlereagh region spans from Oberon, Bathurst and Orange in the east, to Dubbo Narromine and Nyngan in the west. “We’ve reﬁ ned the Strategy after consulting with the community, including Aboriginal stakeholders, local councils, businesses, industry, environmental groups and residents,” said Executive Director Water Strategy and Policy for the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPIE), Kaia Hodge. “The result is a shortlist of options that will better prepare the region for future droughts, keeping the water needs of the community, agriculture,

industry and the environment front of mind. “We know water security is a major concern, particularly for the growing cities of Bathurst, Orange and Dubbo as we face a drier and more variable climate and the potential for longer and more extreme droughts. The Strategy is being developed alongside several major infrastructure business cases, including the Nyngan to Cobar Pipeline Project and the Macquarie-Wambuul Water Security Scheme. The proposed shortlisted options in the Strategy will work in tandem with any future infrastructure projects if, and when, they are progressed. Key actions in the strategy include: f creating water savings through the changed operation of regulated efﬂuent creeks in the lower part of the Macquarie f investigating and carrying out fur-

ther comparative analysis on replacing the ageing and damaged Gin Gin weir f using ﬂood mitigation storage in Burrendong Dam to increase water supply f a regional pipeline connecting Dubbo to Nyngan and other towns f innovative water supply options such as stormwater harvesting, recycled water and managed aquifer recharge f improving the way we manage groundwater resources f supporting Aboriginal people to be more involved in water management by sharing their traditional knowledge and contributing to decision making f improving ﬁsh passage and water quality, and riparian habitat restoration Submissions can be made for the rest of October. Further information is on the DPIE website.

Tomingley treated to safer water A new $720,000 water treatment plant is providing safe and reliable access to water for Tomingley thanks to funding from the State and Federal Governments and Narromine Shire Council. Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said safe and secure drinking water is a basic human right and this project will safeguard Tomingley’s water supply for decades to come. “Everyone deserves access to safe and secure water which is why the government stepped in to support Narromine Shire Council with funding to replace the old plant and deliver infrastructure that is ﬁt for the 21st century,” Mr Saunders said. “The upgraded infrastructure will support current and future development opportunities in Tomingley including the potential expansion of Tomingley gold mines.” Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton said the previous water treatment plant was built in the 1960s and had reached the end of its life. “Replacing ageing water infrastructure will give residents and visitors access to a secure water supply that has the capacity to meet the demands of future generations,” Mr Coulton said. Narromine Shire Council Mayor Craig Davies said council could not have funded the new Tomingley Water Treatment Plant without the support of the State and Federal governments. “We have been planning to replace the Tomingley Water Treatment Plant for years, so I’m thrilled we’ve ﬁ nally been able deliver this much needed infrastructure project to make the village an even greater place to live, play and work,” Mayor Davies said. This project was made possible through a co-funding agreement including $300,000 from the NSW Government’s Safe and Secure Water Program, $320,000 from the Federal Government and $100,000 from Narromine Shire Council.

Roses galore.

St Mary’s Hall provided a great respite from the rain. By SHARON BONTHUYS

THE Narromine Garden Club’s Rose Show last Friday ﬁelded 77 entries despite the stillcool weather and heavy rain of recent weeks. Club President Marj Kelly was thrilled with the number of entries and admitted being surprised as many members reported their roses were not blooming just yet. Club member Anne Harmer told the Narromine Star only one rose had bloomed in her garden. It ended up in the Rose Show and won a prize. Held in the St Mary’s Anglican Church Hall, the rose show featured nine competition classes for roses and three ﬂoral arrangement categories. Carol Mitchell won the Champion Bloom award and Barbara Jackson won the Champion Arrangement award. Attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by the Garden Club team during the event.

Crunch time for Trangie Magpies

The Trangie Magpies’ men’s team. PHOTOS: LUKE PHILLIPS.

The Trangie Magpies’ ladies’ team. From page 1 “WE didn’t have the numbers to cover injuries, and knew we’d have to pay huge money in forfeits,” Luke said. The forfeit “ﬁ nes” would cover losses to the clubs hosting the games to which their opponents could not go. For small clubs, however, these fees are beyond their ability to pay. “We had seven away games coming up in our last ten weeks of football and we knew we weren’t going to be able to maintain a team,” he said. With two other clubs also not available to play scheduled games, the devastating impact of COVID also took out half the Magpies’ team for a week. The resulting three-week break hit the team hard. The break was “too long” Luke

said, impacting team training and preparedness. Luke hopes that community members will step forward and support the resurrection of the men’s and women’s teams for 2023. “We don’t have a lot of ladies in town who want to play. We’ve really got to push hard for our ladies’ team and for committee members who want to be a part of the club’s future,” he said. The pressure on the current committee, which is small in number, is being felt, Luke said. They are also looking for coaches. “At the moment we’ve got a small committee and it feels like three or four people are doing everything. It

burns you out.” If more people come on board the committee and bring fresh ideas to the table, the club can move forward, Luke said. He is keen to point out that committee members do not have to be players. They can be past players (“old boys and girls”), supporters of rugby league, or community members looking for a chance to volunteer. Luke admits to being “over 40” himself, and would like to see older ex-players step up and give something back to the club by joining the committee. “Traditionally, when generations stopped playing they would go onto the committee. The older ex-players would run the committee for the younger ones coming through.”

Luke said the AGM is a chance for the club to start afresh for the next year, and hopes that past members, past players and anyone keen to help support the club will attend the AGM at the Trangie Bowls Club. The event will be coupled with a barbecue and a social game of bowls. Families are welcome. It’s also a chance for the club to kickstart the new 2023 season by starting early. “One of our biggest problems has been we’ve always started late [in the year] a lot of the time. “We’ve always kicked off around December/January. This time, we’re trying to get a head start so we can chase players who haven’t yet signed

with other teams.” So Trangie residents, your rugby league club needs you. Will you answer the call to help revive this longstanding club? Will you make yourself available to play in the teams? Will you volunteer your time to get the club going again? Will you step up and offer fresh new ideas to take the club into the new season and beyond? Will you attend the October AGM? The ball is ﬁ rmly back in the Trangie community’s hands. For full details of the AGM, see classiﬁeds.

Bowls: Weather puts kibosh on Gub Thorne day Contributed by RICK BOHM ONCE again the best laid plans of mice and men went out the window when Mother Nature put a kibosh on Gub Thorne Day last Saturday. The draw was done, the cooks were raring to get stuck into breakfast for the masses, all the players were in position and then in rolled the weather pattern on Thursday and Friday. Not too sure when we can reschedule this terriﬁc fun day, but no doubt if there is a break in the traffic, who knows, just like the old Newcastle song

goes: “never let a chance go by”. Time will tell. Just a couple of social bowls events to report on, otherwise. Dwayne Faro stepped up to the plate and collected some of the spoils on Thursday and Sunday. On Thursday he had a helping hand from Des Lincoln and Buttsy to get the runners up cheque, just edged out on the day by Col Hume and Peter Cross for the major prize pool, but took all before him in his stride with partner David McNair to grab the top spot on the podium.

Narromine will be hosting a couple of zone events over the next two weekends. The president’s pairs will see a couple of local yokels, namely Bruce Maher and Bopper Daley along with Ray Anthony and Steve Buttsworth try and win this section and go forward to the ﬁ nals later this month. Playing in the Open pairs at West Dubbo and hoping to achieve the one spot available to advance to the ﬁ nals will be our teams of “Beaver” Clark and Robbie Stanford along with “Yogi” Hilder and Aaron Hutchison.

We wish both teams good sailing. Yep, given the current weather and the state of the greens at West Dubbo over the weekend, that’s probably the appropriate term. On a personal side, there must be a few desperate people lurking out there in wet Narromine this week. On Friday, I went to put my very large wet weather coat on before venturing out on the scooter, and it was missing! Stolen! Not many people in town are my size, so it shouldn’t be hard to spot a 8XL orange-yellow-black raincoat being worn

around town. Also stolen, my Mum’s only worn torn rag of an umbrella, for want of a better description. Gees, it must be tough to want an 8XL raincoat or a ratty umbrella with more broken parts than usable! But while I cursed them on Friday, I along with the congregation prayed for them on Sunday. Yep folks, it’s a strange old world. Let’s hope we are around next week without webbed feet, and maybe able to think about getting a season ticket to the pool. Until then, happy sailing.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES THE spate of abandoned race meetings over recent months due to rain affected tracks is not overly unusual in both the country and metropolitan areas. This columnist penned the following report of a race meeting in the central west during June 1989. Wet weather continued to play havoc with race meetings throughout NSW however Parkes after two successive washouts, at late notice staged a meeting on Wednesday, July 5, 1989. Despite bitterly cold conditions, on course bookmakers held $167,000 and leading Kembla bookmaker Greg Purcell said his turnover at Parkes was more than his average Saturday holdings at coastal

Cancellations common in wet conditions tracks. The big plunge of the day was on Groovy Girl ($9 to $2 favourite), however given every chance by Chris Parsonage could only manage third behind Talimba (Jane Parsons, $2.80) and Bold Cafe (Dale Jeffries, $34) in the 800 metres Maiden Handicap). (NB:- Betting odds converted from pre decimal to decimal for this story). Talimba, trained by the winning jockey’s father Doug Spence at Cowra, is owned by Lloyd Collier a farmer from the Bogan Gate-Trundle area who also part owns Bongo Red winner of the 1000 metres Improvers Handicap. Trained by Peter Lewis at Spring Hill, Bongo Red (Jane Parsons, $6) made it two wins from three outings when cruising home from Mighty Sweet (Bill Aspros, $2.80 favourite) and Absolute Integrity (Peter. W. Stanley, $13). Mathew Cahill, riding in superb form, notched up another treble, his winners

being: Mr Jinx ($4) trained by Wayne Davey at Cowra, Lapstead ($2) trained by Les Thomas at Molong and Idle Version ($3) trained by Viv Miller at Cowra. In form apprentice Rob Moses scored on the Deidre Stein, Bathurst trained Cargo Road ($9) while Bill Aspros brought Mexican Glow ($5 to $3.50) with a late run to overhaul his Stein trained stablemate Shining Lover (Graeme Robson, $2.20 to $2 favourite) in the ﬁ nal two strides of the 2200 metres Rural Stakes. Several of the jockeys and trainers mentioned in the above story are very well known to racegoers and some are still active in racing including former successful jockey and now Wellington trainer Peter. W. Stanley who won the 2021 Mudgee Cup, a Big Dance Eligibility Race with his $600 horse Not Negotiating. Jane Parsons from Cowra, then riding as Jane Spence was the

fi rst female jockey to ride a winner in the metropolitan area when she won at Canterbury in 1983 on the Viv Miller, Cowra trained Our Fable. Viv Miller trained the prolific Sydney winners Idle Bye (Frank Underwood Cup), Our Fable (June Stakes) and three-yearold fi lly Office (five successive Sydney wins including 1992 G2 Light Fingers Stakes and G2 Surround Stakes). Bill Aspros from Bathurst won multiple Premierships and was the winning rider of Turridu in the G1 George Main Stakes at Randwick for Hawkesbury trainer Garry Frazer. Cowra based Mathew Cahill who is presently recovering from serious injuries sustained in a race fall in April at Canberra has been a long time Champion jockey with a tremendous country and city record. Dale Jeffries from Parkes retired as a jockey due to injury but still rides trackwork for his wife Parkes

trainer Sharon Jeffries. Their daughter Tiffany Jeffries recently retired after riding close to 200 winners and rode winners in Sydney and Brisbane. During a distinguished career Dale Jeffries rode the winner of every cup at central west tracks and is now an apprentice jockey mentor.

Molong trainer Les Thomas had an outstanding sprinter, Lapstead, which twice came back from extremely serious injuries and won over a dozen races including Town Plates. Les Thomas always gave a lot of credit to Malcolm Orringe who assisted with the horses for more than 25 years. Bathurst trainer Deidre Stein who had several top gallopers won the G1 Cox Plate at Mooney Valley with Rising Prince. Graeme Robson was a very strong and successful metropolitan jockey who later moved to ride from Dubbo.

Another golf washout... Contributed by NORM LEWIS ONCE again heavy rain fell leading up to the weekend, forcing the organisers to change or cancel the planned events. On Saturday, the scheduled three-person ambrose event was cancelled as rain bucketed down. Sunday’s Mixed Foursomes Championships was postponed to a date yet to be decided. There were some 19 keen golfers who turned up on the Sunday, and an 18-hole par event was organised. The winner was Henry Buttsworth with a round of plus 1 from Lewis Goodman who ﬁ nished square with the card in second place. Doug Potter won the Long Drive on the 16th but there were no nearest the pin winners. The birdie jackpot did not go off, so it will jackpot to next week. The junior golf clinic is back this weekend, hosted by NSW Golf. An important event for our youngest golfers. The Business House Summer Comp is back on again mid-week during daylight saving. Good luck to all those teams who participate in the comp. The program for this weekend, weather permitting, includes the October Monthly Medal 18-hole stroke and a two-person Shambles.. Let’s hope we can get some golf in this weekend!

Falls. It was a great opportunity to compete at this competition to represent our club and region.

Gerries washed out too... Contributed by NORM LEWIS ONCE again the rain came and washed out the Gerries golf competition last Saturday. I am told by “El Supremo” Terry that the Gerries will try again this week with the men’s competition to be played early Saturday on the front nine. See you all on the tee. Let’s hope the rain keeps away and the river drops so we can get a game of golf.

Little Athletics season starts for kids and adults Attendees learnt the finer art of launching a shotput. Rebecca Newton launches an indoor relay race.

David Summerville instructs older attendees about long jump.

Flying high at the Little Athletics school holiday clinic on October 6. PHOTOS: NARROMINE STAR By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Little Athletics season kicks off today in Narromine but this year it’s not only just for children aged ﬁve to 17 years. A tiny tots program is available again this year as well as a brand new pilot program for adults called “social athletics.” President of Narromine Little Athletics, Tanya Harding, says it’s an exciting time for the club and encouraged people of all ages to give athletics a go. “We’re an inclusive club. It doesn’t matter what your ability level is or whether you have

a disability. We can modify our program to suit all abilities,” Tanya said. The club has about 40 children participating currently and hopes more will come on board during this season, Tanya said. She hopes parents and carers of children already in the program and other interested adults will also consider joining the new social athletics program. “It will be a very good thing for children to see their parents and carers enjoying athletics along with them,” she said. The pilot program for adults is an initiative of Little Ath-

letics NSW (LANSW). While Little Athletics centres like Narromine have the ability to design their own participation programs for adults, it may include activities during current competitions and training sessions. The Narromine Star popped along to the school holiday athletics clinic staged by the Narromine Little Athletics club on October 6. Bad weather the day before the event impacted numbers but the clinic still went ahead at Payten Oval and inside the Narromine Sports and Fitness Centre with a large number of children attending. Outdoor

activities included instruction in shotput, long jump and triple jump. A range of indoor activities also took place. Rebecca Newton is the Centre Support Manager for LANSW and came from Sydney to assist with the clinic. David Summerville, President of the Raymond Terrace Little Athletics club, was the jumps coach on the day, taking young participants through their paces in the long and triple jumps. Natasha Bailey, a development officer from Little Athletics in Dubbo, was also in attendance. In her role, Rebecca Newton supports regional clubs

like Narromine to help get local children involved in Little Athletics. Her involvement with the organisation began when her own children participated many years ago, and this graduated into more formal roles with LANSW. She is excited about the social athletics pilot. “We have parents and carers in one spot watching their kids participate, and this program will encourage them to have a go, get ﬁt and have fun,” Rebecca said. “[Athletics is] a great activity for the whole family.”
