FOR the past decade the committee from the Tubbul Campdraft has been donating to Can Assist Young and Boorowa and last week they continued the legacy, donating $10,000 to the organisation after a very successful Ladies Clinic.
At the Can Assist Young and Boorowa meeting last Tuesday, president Gail Hannigan acknowledged the continued support from the Tubbul Campdraft committee, in particular John and Ann Gerrard before Mr Gerrard and Andrew McGuire said a few words and presented Gail with the cheque.
Mr Gerrard explained that the Tubbul Campdraft started 22 years ago and 12 years ago the committee began to offer a Ladies Clinic and Can Assist was suggested as the charity which they wanted to donate the proceeds to.
“Since then it’s continued every year,” Mr Gerrard said.
“It’s been very, very successful.
The committee has donated around $100,000 to Can Assist Young and Boorowa with all of that money going back into the community to help locals who are battling cancer.
“It’s just gone on and on and on,” Mr Gerrard said.
“Again, this year, after a very successful ladies school we’ve made another donation of $10,000.”
Gail thanked John and Andrew for their donation and continued support as well as thanking the committee for the opportunity to raise money and helping the clinic out with catering for the weekend long event.
“What John has underplayed and why I’ve asked Ann to come is how
Can Assist actually came into being and that is because, not many of you may know, that Ann used to work at Mercy Care,” Gail said.
“So when they were considering a charity to support Ann of course said ‘well, I know one.’
“As they said, they have donated over $100,000 and we have never had another organisation, over the years, to continually support us and we as cooks, and I’m not counting me into that at all, I just collect the food, providing morning tea, both mornings.
“Honestly, it has just been terrific.”
Mr Gerrard and Mr McGuire both agreed that the morning teas were fantastic and enjoyed by all.
“You’ve got to keep doing that, you have the best morning teas,” Mr Gerrard said.
The attendees of the meeting gave a huge round of applause for the committee and thanked Mrs Gerrard for her involvement in the donation.
Can Assist Young and Boorowa provide financial assistance to locals to help ease the burden of cancer on country families and individuals across the Hilltops region.
The local branch, which is run completely voluntarily, collaborates with health professionals and other organisations to help when needed.
Can Assist Young and Boorowa is one of 55 branches from across the state that are committed to making the journey with cancer easier for all rural and regional NSW communities.
The group supports people of all ages and their families, with all types of cancer.
Locals can get involved by joining the local branch or by
donating or raising funds for the branch.
One of the organisations who works with Can Assist to help locals is the not for profit, Lilier Lodge in Wagga, which is a purpose built facility built by Can Assist to provide accommodation for over 1,400 locals a year.
Manager of Lilier lodge, Margaret Dalmau, also attended the meeting to speak to those in attendance on all that Lilier Lodge has to offer and to say farewell ahead of her retirement in December this year.

Focused on financial sustainability
By REBECCA HEWSON
Newly elected Mayor of Hilltops Council, Brian Ingram, has a clear plan of what he would like Council to achieve in his new term as Council’s leader. The financial sustainability of Council, along with reinvigorating pride in our towns and villages, are his priorities.
With 12 years serving on Council, and now serving his third term as Mayor, having been Mayor of the former Young Shire Council and Hilltops Council previously, Mayor Ingram is firmly setting his sights on bringing Hilltops Council closer to a more financially sustainable position without having to apply for a Special Rate Variation.
“I’m a bit humbled by it all,” Mayor Ingram said.
“The community spoke at the ballot box and then, the chamber spoke and I was elected back to the position of Mayor.”
“With that comes a big responsibility and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
With his past experience as Mayor, Councillor Ingram knows what he is facing.
“I know the challenges because I’ve been there before,” he said.
Mayor Ingram said he wants to work on the relationship between Council staff and Councillors.
“There’s a relationship to be restored between Councillors and Council staff and that’s one of the first challenges,” he said.
However, he believes the biggest challenge, and the one he is most passionate about, is the financial sustainability of Hilltops Council.
“Financial sustainability is an issue across all regional Council’s and until some changes are made at a State and Federal level we will continue to struggle. The methodology in relation to how the Federal Assistance Grants are allocated needs to be addressed,” he said.
“Our Council alone had to account for a depreciation in excess of $22 Million last year, how are we expected to run at a surplus when this method is mandated by the
State Government.” Mayor Ingram said.
He also said the continuous cost shifting is an issue.
“The continuous cost shifting and the rising cost of materials and labour for construction, roads and bridges, has impacted all Local Government Areas, we are no different,” Mayor Ingram said.
Mayor Ingram said the first step is to find ways of creating efficiencies within Council.
“We’ll be looking for some more internal efficiencies, I know staff, all staff, work very hard outside and inside, but when you look at what happened in the last term and it was decided by some to go to the community and expect them to accept a 108 percent rate variation without being able to show them any benefits, that just can’t happen,” he said.
“That’s why I didn’t let that happen.”
Throughout the previous term of Council Councillor
Ingram was very vocal on calling for an audit of Council services as way of identifying ways to reduce costs or create revenue.
“I’ve always said the social side of it comes into it, but when you’re running deficits like we are you need to look where you’re spending the money and how much money is being returned for that,” he said.
“If that means that you’ve got to tighten your belt, it’s no different to a household budget.”
Mayor Ingram said Council is no different than a family of six trying to survive on the minimum wage.
“At the end of the week, they’ve got to go without and it’s the same situation for Local Government at the moment,” he said.
“We need to address that, as I’ve said, I’m focusing on local issues, let’s concentrate on our core business.”
Looking towards the future, Mayor Ingram believes in the expansion of local in-

dustries.
“If we’re going to continue to grow, which we are, then we need jobs, so we need industry,” he said.
He has seen over the years the way locals call for the expansion of industry, however, it’s not without limitations.
“We need to look at things with a very open book because with rising costs businesses are looking to relocate and they will go somewhere else.
“We need to make sure we can make it easier for them, rather than putting up hurdles.”
Since his election as Mayor, Councillor Ingram has faced some criticism from residents in Boorowa and Harden who have accused him of only being focused on Young, however, the Mayor says that residents need to look at the bigger picture of the Hilltops as a whole.
“It’s always going to be contentious with myself and the surrounding communi-

ties, the State Government realised they couldn’t exist on their own, I agreed to work with that at the time, given the promises that were made by Baird and O’Toole,” he said.
“Now Boorowa, and at times Harden, feel like they’re left out, but from my point of view, I think they’re looked after quite well. An example of this is two major events that were held in Boorowa and Harden in the last week alone, funded by Council, as well as various improvements to each town such as parks, playgrounds and roads, since the amalgamation,”
“I know people talk about being fair and equitable, but when I do the maths, they don’t agree.
“The criticism comes and it will continue to come and I’ll take it,” he said.
Mayor Ingram wants to have an open and cohesive Council and is wanting employees, fellow Councillors and the public alike to feel
as though they know what is going on within Council as well as able to bring concerns to him and his fellow Councillors.
“I want a cohesive Council,” he said.
“We need to be cohesive and work together, I want Council staff to feel free to approach the General Manager, myself or the Directors at any time with questions or if they’ve got concerns.
“If you don’t address those concerns while they’re small, they tend to grow.”
Mayor Ingram is calling on the community to be understanding as the new Councillors begin their work and says he will keep the community informed on Council matters.
“I have heard the community, residents would like to be more informed, this is something we will be working on” he said.
“Communication will be spoken about by Councillors and staff, and we will work to make sure our communication improves.”
Something else Mayor Ingram would like to see is to ‘have the small things back on track,’ a topic he has already spoken with Councillors about.
“We’re talking about the entrances to our communities, the mowing...get a bit of pride back in our communities,” he said.
“I know staff are stretched but hopefully we can work something out and once the community see we really do take pride in our community we can start working on the roads, rates and rubbish and go from there.
”It’s a process that you would like to think happens naturally, but because of the Council area being 7,200 square kilometres, it isn’t that simple.
The new Council met for the first time last Wednesday where they elected Mayor Ingram and Deputy Mayor Tony Flanery, the full story is available on Page 3.
Hilltops Council will hold its next monthly ordinary meeting on Wednesday 24 October at 4.30pm. The public can attend at the Town Hall in Young or online at www.hilltops.nsw.gov.au/.

2024 Rural Women’s Day
By ANNABEL CUSACK
The Rural Women’s Day at Clifton House and Gardens kicked off at 10am on Sunday October 6 with brunch, health and wellbeing workshop with Court Garfoot and Jane Reid, followed by a Gardens Tour of Clifton House.
Court Garfoot is a clinical nutritionist passionate about creating healthy mothers, children and families and Jane discovered the importance of chemical free, nutrient dense food and launched The Gathered Green approximately five years ago.
The day provided an op-
portunity for ladies from around the Hilltops region to gather together and enjoy workshops and talks.
“The Rural Women’s Day story, started with just one person,” an organiser said.
“Since 2019, Rural Women’s Day Ltd has become a recognised brand, sharing stories at events, in magazines and online, connecting rural and regional women through community, collaboration and celebration.”
The brunch and tour was followed by a floral arrangement workshop with Liv Coutts from 12pm to 1pm
with each attendee going home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers to admire their handiwork.
Liv Coutts is from ‘Pemberley of Malmsbury’ in the picturesque Macedon Rangers, Victoria, Liv is an award winning floral designer, luxury AirBnB host, mother of two and lives on the land with her husband Tim.
Next up at 1pm were nibbles and a wildcard workshop, and then a social media workshop with Hannah McNulty.
Han McNulty’s Rural Women’s journey began in 2008
and looked just like a love match straight out of “Farmer Wants a Wife,” with a city girl marrying her cowboy, Heath.
From 2.30pm to 3pm attendees enjoyed free time to connect with other rural ladies, enjoy the garden or even read a book to relax and unwind.
The day wrapped up with a High Tea with some enlightening chats from Catriona Rowntree and Han McNulty.
Host of Getaway for 28 years, and six seasons of Country House Hunters, Catriona Rowntree is known
for her charismatic presence on the screen, however her heart has also been with the land ever since she married a sheep and grain farmer near Geelong.
Catriona is a proud farmer, advocate for her community, and a great supporter of Australian businesses and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with and getting to know the local women who were in attendance on the day.
Be sure to keep an eye out next year for the event which is a fantastic day out for local ladies.

GENERAL practitioners can now enjoy a streamlined and efficient process for referring patients for mental health and alcohol and other drugs (AOD) care, thanks to the new online portal launched today during Mental Health Month by Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN).
MPHN’s updated Central Access and Navigation (CAN) service will enhance the way general practitioners (GPs), service providers, and community members navigate the Murrumbidgee mental health and AOD system.
The new cloud-based CAN online referral portal offers secure messaging, making it easier to send and track patient information. It provides a central access point to services, enabling healthcare professionals to monitor their patient’s journey. The portal is conveniently accessible via the MPHN website.
MPHN CEO Stewart Gordon said the new CAN online portal will significantly simplify the referral process.
‘We’ve found general practitioners and service providers in the Murrumbidgee are very receptive to adopting digital platforms, particularly when doing so accelerates processes and enhances efficiency and response times,” Mr Gordon said.
‘We’re confident GPs and service providers will find MPHN’s new CAN online portal much faster and more userfriendly, benefiting both them and their patients.’
To assist with the transition, MPHN’s Primary Care Engagement team will be supporting practices to familiarise themselves with the new portal.
‘Improving people’s access to mental health supports is a priority for us, and this portal is a step forward in that direction,’ Mr Gordon said.

Crystal Spring Brewery and aerated water and cordial factory
By KAREN SCHAMBERGER
GEORGE Cranfield, in 1885, added the business of ‘brewer and bottler’ to his aerated water and cordial works and bakery, in direct competition with the Young Brewery set up in 1874 by Frederick Gleich and William Hills. In July 1885, Cranfield advertised that his beer was ‘manufactured from pure malt, hops, and sugar only’ with ‘no deleterious Drugs being substituted for the genuine article’. His brewery was at the bottom of Burrowa Street, beyond the Australian Hotel, facing Clarke Street.
The Australian Town and Country Journal described his premises in November 1885: ‘The factory is fitted with a complete plant of machinery by Messers. Hayward, Tyler and Co., of London, and consists of first-class sodawater machine and latest appliances for bottling it, capable of turning out about 3000 dozen per week, besides which large quantities of cordials, bitters, and French liqueurs are also manufactured. Mr. Cranfield produces a most refreshing beverage, which he designates as Hedezone, and which forms a delightful summer drink’. The additional brewer’s plant was ‘capable of turning out thirty hogsheads
weekly’. ‘Ten hands are employed in the establishment and good wagons and coaches are engaged in delivering the goods around in the near vicinity, whilst large quantities are dispatched both by rail and teams to towns at a distance.’
Cranfield’s ‘running colonial ale’ was awarded second place at the International Centennial Exhibition, Melbourne, in October 1888. The same ale was given a Highly Commended award at the Brewers Show, London, in December 1891. Cranfield was so pleased with these results that he commissioned 1,000 engraved, silver-plated salvers to celebrate. He presented these salvers, which are trays without handles that were used to carry drinks in formal dining settings, to hotelkeepers, favoured customers and friends throughout New South Wales and Victoria.
Towards the end of the 1890s, Cranfield hoped to put the recent Depression behind him and entered into a deal with Alphonsus Henry Redwood. Cranfield signed documents to sell his land and brewery, plant and stock to Redwood for £9,000, to be paid in £4,000 cash and in 5,000 £1 shares in a company to be called The Young Malting and Brewing Company Limited. Cranfield would be the new brewer and manager of the company. Redwood, however, disappeared. Mounting debt and aging machinery eventually led to Cranfield’s bankruptcy in 1916.
The rise and fall of Crystal Spring Brewery followed the trajectory of the Australian brewing industry, which reached a peak in the 1880s and

suffered a rapid decline through the 1890s and beyond as larger, Sydney-based breweries either took over or squeezed out their smaller competitors.

Become a 2YYY Community Radio member today
2YYY 92.3FM Community Radio has been operational in Young for twenty years now.
However, we are facing a difficult future due to a severe down turn in advertising income and continually rising operational costs.
In years past, pre-COVID times, we were supported by local business far more than now.
Is it because community radio is largely an invisible presence in the community?
If so, it’s not for the lack of social media or radio information releases that advocate for the community to get involved.
Be it by volunteering or by advertising with us.
Our advertising/ sponsorship rates are a fraction of what commercial radio charges.
The biggest difference is that every dollar of income stays right here in town to support our operational budget.
Not one dollar goes to a city office.
Simply put, we need the help of our local community to survive now more than ever.
ENTRIES for Young Camera Club’s 26th Cherry Festival Photographic Competition and Exhibition close soon, on Friday, 25 October.

The 2024 Burrangong Picnic Races
By ANNABEL CUSACK
THE Burrangong Picnic Races have come to a close, and the event was a tremendous success, drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd. Under bright spring skies, attendees enjoyed a day packed with thrilling horse races, engaging activities, and lively entertainment at the Burrangong Race Course.
This year’s event saw a significant boost in participation, with twice as many marquees sold compared to last year, underscoring its growing popularity. A standout addition to the day was the “Dash for Cash,” a new activity that generated plenty
of excitement and added to the festive atmosphere. The six-race program kept the energy high, with attendees cheering from the sidelines.
Fashions on the Field proved to be a major highlight once again, with stylish entrants competing for a share of the $7,000 prize pool. The competition was fierce, and the judges had their work cut out for them, with many creative and elegant outfits on display.
Beyond the races, families and children enjoyed an array of activities, including face painting, a jumping castle, and ice cream vans, making the event a fun-filled day for all ages.

Schiller takes another Group 1 win at Rosehill Gardens
By MITCH COHEN for racenet
JOCKEY Tyler Schiller overcame adversity to help propel Amor Victorious snare to a tough all the way win at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. Schiller’s saddle slipped right out of the gates in the Group 2 $300,000 Shannon Stakes (1500m) but the Group 1-winning hoop was still able to navigate a path to victory. He controlled things from out in
front and Amor Victorious just kept finding in the straight to prevail.
“He jumped really sharp, did everything right and pretty much I just rode to Bjorn’s (Baker) instructions,” Schiller said.
“I just quickened up from the 600m and try to get them chasing.
He did a great job to tough it out and I thought he was very brave.”
“I knew it (the saddle) was back but I was still balanced, I could just feel that the saddle was back further.
“I could still put my irons where
I could. So I was comfortable but I was just happy that the horse underneath me kept travelling.”
Amor Victorious ($8.50) kept the Anthony and Sam Freedmantrained Punch Lane ($14) at bay to score by half a length with Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott’s New Endeavour ($26) a further three quarters of a length away.
It was a first stakes success of the season for Baker, much to his relief.
“It’s a long straight and I could run them on a dog track and it
would be a long straight at the moment,” Baker said.
“I’ve been running seconds, thirds and fourths.
“It’s been frustrating but that’s what you need and you need good horses and clients to snap yourself out of it.”
It was a reward for consistency for Baker’s galloper, who had finished among the placings in both starts this preparation before getting back on the board in Sydney.
“His first two runs, he was up
against some good horses and at the time he probably didn’t look as good as he can,” Baker said.
“I even debated whether we ran him today.
“I had a talk to Scott (Darby) and he was like ‘it’s up to you’.
“He was full of beans and we thought with the blinkers on that might just sharpen him up a bit.”
Baker indicated that Amor Victorious would now be set for the Five Diamonds Prelude and Five Diamonds.

Club Pairs begins Boorowa Cricket
By CLIFF TRAYNOR
THE first games of the Club Pairs Championship were completed over the weekend.
On Saturday afternoon
Ian Schofield and Geoff Holt played Tom Glover and Brian Madden.
Ian and Geoff dominated the first half of the game and led 18–4 after the first 11 ends.
At the completion of the 19th end the margin had been reduced to just 6 shots with Ian and Geoff leading 23–17. The final two ends saw one shot to each team with a 24-18 win for Ian and Geoff.
There were two games on Sunday afternoon.
In one game Ted Loader and Mark Anderson were opposed to Ron Rosengreen and Peter Watts.
Ted and Mark won 6 of the first 7 ends to lead 10–1 but Ron and Peter won 3 of the next 4 ends to lead 13–11. Ron and Peter dominated the scoring from that point and finished with a scoreline of 26–13 in their favour.
In the other game Damien Miller and David Quigley played Jono Watson and Russell Boyd in a low scoring game with 2 shots being the highest score on any end.
After 10 ends Jono and Russell led 8–7 and after 15 ends they were in front 13–9.
The next 4 ends were shared and with two ends to play the score was 15–11.
Damien and David won the final 2 ends but only scored 3 shots for Jono and Russell to win 15–14.
There were quite good numbers on the greens this week with 26 players on Thursday and 24 on Saturday
For Thursday the winning teams and their margins were Jim McQuade and Joe Bargwanna (2), Harold Anderson and Tony Ruhl (6), Albert Carter and Glen Benson (10), Aldo Malvicino and Jono Watson (17), Max Penfold and Mark Anderson (21) and Nev Downing, Craig Watson and Les Fanning (21).

WITH the cricket season now underway, excitement is building around Boorowa as the local team prepares to kick off their first home game this Saturday, October 19th, at the Boorowa Recreation Grounds.
Originally set to play the season opener at Stockinbingal on October 12th, the team had to adjust plans due to some challenges in getting a full squad together, but they are looking forward to a strong start on their home turf.
This season promises to be an exciting one for the Boorowa Cricket Club, coming off the back of a thrilling campaign last year.
The team made it to the Preliminary Final, where they narrowly missed a spot in the grand final.
That close call has only strengthened their resolve for the 2024 season, with a clear goal: to go all the way and bring home the championship.
The club is eager to welcome new players to join the team.
Whether you’re a seasoned cricketer or someone who’s never picked up a bat, Boorowa Cricket Club is open to players of all skill levels.

Hitting off for spring
By REBECCA HEWSON
YOUNG Croquet Club wrapped up its massive Spring Carnival last Friday with a lunch and it’s award presentation.
Competitors travelled from Orange, Queanbeyan, Wagga, Benalla, Howlong, Wollongong, Canberra, Jamberoo, Forster, Queenscliff, Deniliquin, Toronto, Albury and Chatswood to play in the competition that started last Tuesday.
Three competitors from Young took part as well filling in at the last minute due to cancellations, with the remainder of the 32 players coming from out of town.
The Spring Carnival hosted by Young Croquet Club is one of the biggest events held by the club throughout the year and a huge draw for the carnival is that those wishing to compete from outside of the Young Club make up the numbers with local members only stepping up if there are last minute cancellations, as was the case with S Harvison, N McLennan and S Ryan stepping up.
Young Croquet Club president Leona Druitt thanked everyone for attending, playing, participating and helping out throughout the event and congratulated the competitors on what was some fantastic croquet action over the
four days of competition.
A group of very dedicated referees were on hand, with Leona thanking them and presenting them with a gift of thanks. The helpers and referees who were on hand throughout the week were Maureen, Bunty, Graham, Barbara, Sharon, Barbara and Garry.
Garry and Maureen also thanked the Young Croquet Club for putting on what they said was the ‘best run carnival’ in the state and said how appreciative they were to the Club for hosting such an event each year.
In the A Block Doubles competition first went to Maurice
Alpin from Orange and Barbra Cuthbert from Wagga with Ted Woodley from Chatswood and Ed Hoohenboom from Orange.
In the B Block Doubles first went to Ted Swann from Jamberoo and Linda Berben from Wagga with Carol Studdert from Wagga and Juta Webb from Albury taking second.
In the B Block Singles first went to Lynda Berben from Wagga and second went to Nigel Sethack from Orange.
C Block Singles went to Carol Studdert from Wagga with second going to Hugh Juchua from Orange Croquet Club.
The B Grade winner was Bunty
Clark from Howlong with Michael Warby from Queanbeyan coming in second.
The A Grade winner was Graham Innocent, who even though he’s from Young, played for another of his club’s Forster, with Maurice Alpin from Orange coming in second.
Coming up on October 26 the Young Croquet Club will be celebrating it’s 100th Anniversary with an open invitation to all members past and present as well as the children and grand children of previous members.
There is a huge day planned for the Club with more details coming just as soon as they are finalised.
A Grade winner Graham Innocent from Young with Maurice Alpin from Orange.
Bunty Clark from Howlong was the winner of the B Grade with Michael Warby from Queanbeyan second.
B Block Singles winner Lynda Berben from Wagga and Nigel Sethack from Orange came second.
Carol Studdert from Wagga and Juta Webb from Albury came runner up in the B Block Doubles.

HELPING LOCALS
Students at St Joseph’s Boorowa raised over $200 for Socktober at the end of last term. PHOTO:
St Joseph’s Primary School, Boorowa.
By REBECCA HEWSON
FOR the past decade the committee from the Tubbul Campdraft has been donating to Can Assist Young and Boorowa and last week they continued the legacy, donating $10,000 to the organisation after a very successful Ladies Clinic.
At the Can Assist Young and Boorowa meeting last Tuesday, president Gail Hannigan acknowledged the continued support from the Tubbul Campdraft committee, in particular John and Ann Gerrard before Mr Gerrard and Andrew McGuire said a few words and presented Gail with the cheque.
Mr Gerrard explained that the Tubbul Campdraft started 22 years ago and 12 years ago the committee began to offer a Ladies Clinic and Can Assist was suggested as the charity which they wanted to donate the proceeds to.
“Since then it’s continued every year,” Mr Gerrard said.
“It’s been very, very successful.
The committee has donated around $100,000 to Can Assist Young and Boorowa with all of that money going back into the community to help locals who are battling cancer.
“It’s just gone on and on and on,” Mr Gerrard said.
“Again, this year, after a very successful ladies school we’ve made another donation of $10,000.”
Gail thanked John and Andrew for their donation and continued support as well as thanking the committee for the opportunity to raise money and helping the clinic out with catering for the weekend long event.
STUDENTS GET INVOLVED IN SOCKTOBER
At the end of last term
the students at St Joseph’s Boorowa wore their most creative and fun socks to raise money for Socktober.
Socktober raises money for Catholic Mission as part of Mission Month.
Catholic Mission House of Mercy in Mongolia, Caring Centre in Mongolia, Seminarian Appeal in Nigeria, Food Packs in Myanmar and an ongoing emergency appeal for Ukraine. They provide much needed help and support to those who need it.
Assist boosted with $10,000 donation
years, to continually support us and we as cooks, and I’m not counting me into that at all, I just collect the food, providing morning tea, both mornings.
“Honestly, it has just been terrific.”
Mr Gerrard and Mr McGuire both agreed that the morning teas were fantastic and enjoyed by all.
“You’ve got to keep doing that, you have the best morning teas,” Mr Gerrard said.
The attendees of the meeting gave a huge round of applause for the committee and thanked Mrs Gerrard for her involvement in the donation.
Can Assist Young and Boorowa provide financial assistance to locals to help ease the burden of cancer on country families and individuals across the Hilltops region.
The local branch, which is run completely voluntarily, collaborates with health professionals and other organisations to help when needed.
Can Assist Young and Boorowa is one of 55 branches from across the state that are committed to making the journey with cancer easier for all rural and regional NSW communities.
The group supports people of all ages and their families, with all types of cancer.
Locals can get involved by joining the local branch or by donating or raising funds for the branch.
St Joseph’s Boorowa spoke to students about ways they can use their heads, hearts and hands to help children in countries like Mongolia who are less fortunate.
“What John has underplayed and why I’ve asked Ann to come is how Can Assist actually came into being and that is because, not many of you may know, that Ann used to work at Mercy Care,” Gail said.
One of the organisations who works with Can Assist to help locals is the not for profit, Lilier Lodge in Wagga, which is a purpose built facility built by Can Assist to provide accommodation for over 1,400 locals a year.
The St Joseph’s Boorowa school community raised a total of $278.70 for the cause. Well done.
“So when they were considering a charity to support Ann of course said ‘well, I know one.’
“As they said, they have donated over $100,000 and we have never had another organisation, over the
Manager of Lilier lodge, Margaret Dalmau, also attended the meeting to speak to those in attendance on all that Lilier Lodge has to offer and to say farewell ahead of her retirement in December this year.
Tracey says thank you
By CONTRIBUTED
I AM truly humbled by this incredible honour. Thank you Arthur and Mum for doing my induction and to the NSWCTA committee, and NSW Hall of Fame members who accepted my induction this year. It is a great honour to be inducted the year after Glenn, additionally alongside Mum and our other esteemed Hall of Fame members.
There is so many people in this sport that I could name and thank individually for the support I have received over the years, but I will just say a big thank you, Whether it has been those that have fixed things for me, organised things for me, stood up for me, those I have travelled with, who have coached me, pushed me and have encouraged me to achieve greater things in this sport. I will never forget who was, who has and who continues to support me in my shooting journey.
My biggest thank you is to my family, thank you is to my family. Thank you all for coming - Glenn and my sister Libby and her family - thank you, being here tonight to see my induction.
This certainly comes a long way from never actually wanting to shoot, I just wanted to do Pony Club as a kid, but with everyone else shooting, I think maybe I was a little outvoted on that.
Shooting has no doubt been a massive part of our family, and Mum and Dad both sacrificed a lot for us kids to be able to shoot.
They taught us that you didn’t need a brand new gun or the most expensive shells to use.
They taught us how to win and how to lose. They gave us the opportunity to shoot on weekends, even if that meant that they didn’t or that they went without so we
could. The winnings were always put together to hopefully pay for the next shoot. They taught us that shooting wasn’t everything, and after a good or bad weekend of shooting to get over it and to go back to school or work on Monday.
I appreciate that we had the opportunity to spend time together as a family, shooting away was usually our holidays. We were able to learn about mindset early and what was effective for Mum and Dad.
Dad would always play the 1997 Slim Dusty tap ‘Makin a Mile’, and if he sang along with it, you could bet that he would be coming home with a few wins that day.
Mum’s mindset was a little different, it would only take a misogynistic remark like ‘shouldn’t you be in the kitchen,’ and that was enough for her to win.
Both of these mindsets have worked well for me over the years and I have been lucky already having a competitive fire and I have always appreciate people throwing wood on it.
So thank you Mum and Dad, for all you have done for me to achieve what I have in shooting, the drive to make it into the Hall of Fame has been greatly influenced by you.
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you both, especially you, Dad.
To Caleb, you continue to push me to achieve my goals and that has never changed, whether it has been showing cutting and reining horses or shooting.
I know I am spoiled when we are at horse shows and you do everything for me so the only thing I have to do is go compete, so I would appreciate if my gun is put together before I shoot from now on, just joking...he does that for me too.
Without you pushing me, and at times putting up with the drama, tears and tantrums, I wouldn’t have achieved this.
To Kyezi, since you started shooting, you have reminded me how special this sport is, because it seems only yesterday that I was your age and shooting.
And now you’re beating me and giving me advice.
I love the times after you have looked at my scores on
MCMS and ring me and ask ‘what happened Mum? Was it windy?’ or ‘Did you just shoot bad?’
The times you tell me that I should’ve used Pop’s new Perazzi instead, or that I should’ve had a stick on rib, or simply, that I should have just been using the Pro’s. Not to mention I have already copped it from Paige telling me I didn’t hit that very well and no wins for you today Mum, will
have to try harde next time.
Here I was thinking I was competitive and now there’s these two.
If you have heard the saying, ‘there’s just some things you have to work out for yourself in shooting,’ well I attest to this.
It took me years to realise that when Dad said you had to be hungry to shoot well, that it meant you had to be keen to shoot. You can see how this was lost in interpre-
tation given, even to this day, I barely eat before I shoot, and there really is some things that you just need to figure out yourself.
I just wanted to finish with, over the years, like any sport shooting has been a tremendous love/hate relationship for me. I have taken breaks for kids, for my health issues, because I didn’t have interest in shooting and mainly to pursue other dreams with out horses, but if I can influence anyone on their journey, especially our younger generation, in this sport it would be to let it take the time it takes for yourself.
Set goals, but don’t expect that will happen yesterday, it will take time, and it will take much motivation and some disappointment. And you may set goals thinking that it will be achieved, but then it isn’t, because it wasn’t your time.
You may take breaks and want to sell your gun, but if you’re determined, it will in time come together for you.
Take the small wins, and don’t let the letdowns or fools discredit or make you lose your confidence, because often your biggest critics will either be yourself, or they will be behind you watching you in the shoot offs.
Be proud to stand on your own and let them be the ones to light your fire, and I think that is what makes this sport so humbling, is that if you don’t let your own or someone else’s ego kill your talent, you will never stop making goals, and it will keep you grounded when you realise that there is still so much more to achieve, and in time, you will and you do.
Again, thank you to all my friends and family for being here tonight for my induction and good luck to ya’ll.
