Food Safety checklist following power outages Central Darling Shire is urging residents to make sure that their food is safe to eat. It follows the recent power outage caused by storms in the region, and expected continuation of planned power outages for the next few weeks until things return to normal when the power infrastructure is repaired. The NSW Government Food Authority has a range of useful information to help with food safety, which is on its’ webpage - Food safety in emergencies The advice includes making a note of the time the power failed as this will help determine whether the food is safe to eat. The Food Authority recommends: • Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible. A closed refrigerator should keep food cold for four hours. • If food that is meant to be in the fridge is allowed to warm for two hours or more, avoid eating it. Freezers will usually not defrost and food will not spoil for at least 24 hours, provided the door has been kept shut. If frozen foods have thawed, they should not be refrozen but should be kept cold and eaten as soon as possible. • Keep it hot! Throw out food that was being cooked when the power failed if cooking cannot be completed properly within two hours. If food is already properly cooked, eat it within two hours or throw it out.

Recovery support for storm affected Far West communitiesThe Albanese and Minns Governments are supporting communities in Broken Hill and Central Darling Shire Local Government Areas (LGAs) as well as the Far West Unincorporated Area, following a severe storm that impacted properties across the region on Thursday 17 October. Through jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) support can be used by local councils to help with the costs of cleaning up and restoring damaged essential public assets. Assistance includes: • Support for affected local councils to help with the costs of cleaning up and restoring damaged essential public assets. • Support to ensure access to essential power for homes and continuation of essential services such as schools, public hospitals and Council operations during this critical period.Federal Minister for Emergency Management, Jenny McAllister said more than 10,000 homes were impacted by the storm with power outages stretching from Wilcannia to the Queensland border. “The assistance being activated today will help councils clean up communities as quickly as possible, ensure public safety and reinstate critical assets,” Minister McAllister said. “The support measures both levels of government are activating today will help the impacted councils with the immediate costs from this disaster and help them keep their communities safe.” Minister Dib said constructing temporary towers to restore the transmission line was a priority for energy providers but could take several weeks. Energy providers Transgrid and Essential Energy are using backup generators to maintain power supply until the work is completed. “I want to thank volunteers and emergency responders who have moved quickly to supply generators and satellite communications where they are most needed, as well as providing support for community members to drop in and charge devices,” Minister Dib said. “We’ve activated an emergency response team across all emergency services to provide support for communities.” For information relating to financial assistance please contact Service NSW on 13 77 88 or visit www.nsw.gov.au. Further information on disaster assistance can be found on the Australian Government’s Disaster Assist website at www.disasterassist.gov.au.

The $30 million Wentworth Health Service Redevelopment has reached an important milestone, with the structure of the building now complete. The ‘topping out’ of the building is the newest construction milestone and contains the installation of the wall framing and roof framing. The new Wentworth Health Service is being built adjacent to the existing 80-year-old facility and includes 19 inpatient unit beds, an Urgent Care Centre and Community Health Services. Other features of the hospital include a palliative care suite, which includes an inpatient room with a secluded terrace and an adjacent family lounge with views over the river, a dedicated space for families which opens to a central, shared courtyard, a gym with access to an outside patio, outdoor spaces and landscaping, with a yarning circle and native floras.The new hospital is being built above the current levee bank of the Darling River, enhancing natural light and providing water views from the Inpatient Unit. The project is also implementing initiatives that provide environmental benefits, such as the recycling of over 90 per cent of construction waste from the revitalization, significantly reducing landfill impact. With structural works completed, the project team will continue the internal fit-out, services installation and exterior works. Health services are continuing to function throughout construction, with the new hospital on track for achievement in mid-2025. The old hospital will then be destroyed, and a new ambulance bay built.

The April to June expenses figures for Australian politicians revealed vast sums being paid for travel and electorate offices in the local region.When the cost-of-living crisis is forcing families to tighten their belts, the amounts spent by elected officials has raised some eyebrows.Member for Farrer Sussan Ley spent $28,822 on interstate travel to tropical Queensland and Perth, and her team of nine staffers racked up more than $93,340 worth of travel in the three-month period.Of the $21,649 paid in travel allowance, Ms Ley reported just $3,591 was for business related to the seat of Farrer, with the remainder for Party or parliamentary business.Ms Ley’s Albury office reported the highest expenditure for office facilities and administration, compared to others in the region. Senator Perrin Davey’s Deniliquin based office reported a more modest $50,899 for the same expenditure item, while Member for Riverina Michael McCormick reported $203,808, and Member for Parkes Mark Coulton spent $110,781.As a comparison, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese reported $163,387 for his office expenses in his Sydney base in Marrickville.Mr McCormack spent $6801 on travel, of which $1,050 was for electorate business, but under $500 on commercial travel. Mr Coulton spent more - over $69,000 – but he stayed within the electorate, or claimed trips to Canberra and one-third of his travel allowance was spent in his electorate.Senator Davey’s travel allowance of $17,438 reported just $394 was for electorate business, and Ms Davey also reported $7,438 for travel to New Zealand for five days in April. The Senator travelled as part of the Senate Select Committee on Australia’s Disaster Resilience delegation.Senator Davey was also the only regional politician to report family travel of $816 to the vastly different landscapes of Conargo and Canberra. Under the rules parliamentarians’ spouses, children or nominated persons can claim travel in some circumstances.Travel allowances are paid to parliamentarians for each night they stay away from home, within Australia.How the numbers stack upSussan Ley – Member for FarrerTotal quarterly expenditure April to June 2024 - $385,049.20Previous quarter total expenditure $330,285.64Travel allowance - $21,649 Commercial travel - $28,822 Office facilities and administration - $228,572 Domestic travel for nine employees - $93,340.33Michael McCormick – Member for RiverinaTotal quarterly expenditure April to June 2024 - $237,433.38Previous quarter total expenditure - $125,821.21Travel allowance - $6861 Commercial travel - $447Office facilities and admin - $203,808 Domestic travel for five employees – $16,125Mark Coulton - member for ParkesTotal quarterly expenditure April to June 2024 - $222,841.15Previous quarter total expenditure - $184,701.71Travel allowance - $9309 Commercial travel - $69,214 Office facilities and administration - $110,781Domestic travel for eight employees – $18,995 Senator Perrin DaveyTotal quarterly expenditure April to June 2024 - $109,471.08Previous quarter total expenditure - $61,189.28Travel allowance - $17,438 of which $394 was electorate bizInternational travel - $7320 Commercial travel - $4799 Family travel - $816 Office facilities and administration - $50,899 Domestic travel for five employees - $22570

Melbourne cricket ground, 1977 Centenary test, Queen Elizabeth touring the Melbourne Cricket Ground: Back then, the MCC was male membership only, no ladies allowed in the long room but the MCC made an exception for her majesty. As the queen entered the long room, the all-male crowd went quiet except for one lone voice who commented ‘who let the bird in?’. That voice belonged to Clive Davenport. Even when Clive was trying to keep his voice down, he was loud. His family down at Mt Waverley firmly believed that if any sheep were nearby whenever Clive called them from Hay, his voice would blow the wool clean off them. Every Christmas, Clive and his booming voice would trek down the highway to Mt Waverley, occasionally with an entire sheep in an esky for his sister-in-law to cook, much to her bemusement. Presents for his nephews and nieces were always thoughtfully chosen from one of Hay’s few stores, and he would join the young ones in backyard cricket and golf putting, patiently encouraging and coaching them. Clive Davenport, the beloved Hay icon with the booming voice, died on September 19 aged 89. He was one of Hay’s true gentlemen. Clive Geoffrey Davenport was born on August 16, 1935 in Glen Iris to Gordon and Minnie Margaret. His arrival was very excitedly welcomed by his older brother, Roger and a tight bond of brotherly love and respect was instantly formed. Clive’s cousins, the Halligans and the Piggotts lived nearby and Clive’s early life was an idyllic mix of family and friends, backyard cricket and football and long summers spent with his cousin Max Chalmers at their property, ‘Devon’ near Deniliquin. These early years helped to set up Clive’s deep and abiding love for the country lifestyle and for sport, particularly cricket. Though born, raised and educated in Melbourne, Clive became a man of the land and spent his working life as a stock and station agent where he earnt the respect and loyalty of his clients, buyers and his peers. He arrived in Hay in 1958 to join the team at the former Australia Mercantile Land and Finance Company (later to become Dalgety Ltd) as an accountant. After a stint working at other branches between 1960 and 1972, Clive returned to Hay as manager. He did everything; from forecasts and financial statements with clients, to drafting their sheep. Clive always enjoyed working with sheep and always had an interest in all stock in general. He worked through both wet times, and extreme dry seasons. Clive was drawn to anyone and anything related to sheep and wool. He was an ambassador of Hay Sheep Show Committee, a regular face at local sheep sales long after he retired and a committed and enthusiastic ‘meet and greet’ volunteer at Shear Outback since it opened on Australia Day 2002. Clive was happiest being surrounded by sheep in the yards on the Hay Plains, but not as happy as he was on the cricket pitch, with his dearest friend, Trish or later in life – at his beloved Shear Outback. Clive’s love for cricket is legendary. The Clive Davenport Award is a coveted trophy for Hay Cricket Club Person of the Year and will remain a strong memorial to a man who gave so much to the game that he loved. He loved cricket as a player, umpire, spectator and mentor to many younger players and for this Clive was fittingly awarded a Distinguished Service Award in 2004 by Cricket NSW and the NSW Country Cricket Association. His most fond memory was of the early 1970s Hay team, which owned and hosted the ‘Holy Grail of Riverina Cricket’; the O’Farrell Cup. Clive was also president of the Cricket Association for some time. He has enjoyed, before and after retirement in 1992, travelling the world to follow cricket. Over the years Clive watched Australia play test matches in England, West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, India and New Zealand. Clive never married, although he came close a couple of times, particularly with Trish Lewis from South Africa who shared his love and knowledge of cricket. Although the planets never quite aligned for Clive and Trish to find a place they could be together, they shared almost 30 years of deep abiding love, friendship and respect, remaining in touch with each other until the end. One of Clive’s regrets was that he never married and did not have children. But he remained a constant and positive presence in the lives of his family members who gathered in Hay last Monday to farewell Clive from the Uniting Church. They were deeply touched and very appreciative that the team at Shear Outback had lowered the flag to half-mast after Clive’s passing. Clive would have loved that.

Well known beautician, Cheyenne Hurst has opened a beauty mecca in Lachlan Street. Studio on Lachlan is the place to go for not just a service, but an experience.

Ever evolving, always striving for the optimum quality of service delivery, this little dynamo puts herself out there and figures out what works. Embarking on her hair and beauty journey as an apprentice at the age of 17, it has been a staggering 11 years in the industry for Cheyenne. “I have recently begun my Diploma in Beauty, with a view to offer an increasing range of services in the future,” Cheyenne said. One of these services will be tattooing brows, with details to follow as they arise. “It has been an interesting journey for me, evolving from a hairdresser into the realm of beauty.Working in different settings, from salon to home and now back in a shopfront, has opened my eyes to the possibilities of what you can offer and how you deliver that. “Hairdressing and offering beauty services at home has taught me so much, lessons about the type of experience I want to offer. “It has taught me to want more for my customers, to offer a slower, more intimate experience, to give them time and space to relax and truly enjoy their pampering. “The most satisfying thing I get out of working with people is that experience, connecting with my customers, and striving for a constant pinnacle of customer satisfaction. “The people I work with are my friends, and people from the community I know and enjoy spending time with, so it is important to me, I gain satisfaction from achieving that.” Cheyenne cherishes the connections with clients, conversations getting to know people and truly letting people know she cares – because she does. “All my roles in the workforce have been centred around people, and I truly love people,” she said.

Toa O’Reilly is originally from the Gold Coast and moved, along with his young family, to Ivanhoe for work as a Reach Stacker Operator.With an Irish father and Maori mother, Toa was born in Napier, New Zealand. He ventured to Australia in 2017, and met his partner Taryn here.They share a ten-year-old daughter and a eight-year-old son.Working for the Tronox mineral sand mine, the family decided to move to the area for the significant benefit it would provide to their household. “I saw the notification on Seek, and decided to investigate further,” Toa said. “Once I saw what they were offering, and realised I was well capable of the job, I threw my hat in the ring.”Toa enjoys his role as it is something different.He works with a great crew for a great company.Toa was fly-in-fly-out (FIFO), with two weeks on and two weeks off originally, and did this for the first four swings.After this, the company decided to conclude the position, but instead offered Toa a good relocation package.“I took this offer back to the family, so we could discuss and decide, and we eventually all agreed to make the move to Ivanhoe,” Toa said.Taryn works in the mining kitchen. The family found the transition tough for the first month, but after that, they took to their new town like ducks to water.The children love their new school, and the family is pleased with the facilities.They plan on being in Ivanhoe for at least five years, with opportunities to retain employment there for up to 25 years. An ambitious and motivated couple, Toa and his partner have a goal in mind for the family’s future, and the relocation and new life will vastly contribute to achieving their goal.Trucks go to the Tronox mine, is loaded with material, and then is brought back to the rail crew.His crew tips it and then come in with loaders, and load into specialised containers.Toa weighs, records and then outs the containers on the train wagons.There are 132, 20 foot containers in each load. Toa says it can get hard at times with all of their family still far away in the Gold Coast, but everyone is adapting well.Toa and Taryn’s schedules line up so they both work a week on, and then get a week off together.During that week off they ensure it is filled with family time, such as weekends away to Melbourne, Mildura and surrounds.“We are still learning the intricacies of rural living, and logistics,” he said.“The town is beautiful and the people here are wonderful and welcoming.” People such as Toa and his wonderful little family are exactly the kind of thing Ivanhoe needs.
