Trek for a cause
A er a massive three days the 2025 Cargo to Grenfell Walk is nished for another year, and proved to be a tough one.
With extreme weather conditions, the temperature continued to increase over the event and hitting above 40 degrees on the last (and longest) day.
Cargo to Grenfell Walk organiser
Toby Barrons said the walk was good, and everyone was in good spirits despite the heat.
Mr Barrons said this was another
successful event, with 34 registered walkers across the three days
Whilst they didn’t have the highest number of registrations this year, organisers posted to Facebook that they be happier with the people who did participate and took on the challenge.
In the post to Facebook, Cargo to Grenfell Walk’s Danielle Smith said It was such a good group of people who supported each other and it’s always amazing to see new faces.
As of last weekend, the charity
walk has raised around $8,500, with donations still open for another two weeks.
There was a ra e which was drawn on Tuesday, 17 March.
Mr Barons said the money raised will go towards the Headstrong Foundation, which supports mental health support in the region and encourages people to keep up to date with the Headstrong Foundation.
“We are so proud of everyone who participated this year, it was
a massive e ort and required huge amounts of perseverance and mental toughness,” Cargo To Grenfell organisers wrote.
“A massive shoutout to our sponsors, volunteers & tra c controllers - your support is essential for the success of the event.”
Next year is planned to be bigger and better with the event celebrating it’s 10th year.

Insurance hikes in top business concerns
The state’s peak business body warns insurance premiums are spiralling out of control, with 85 per cent of businesses in Western NSW reporting double-digit increases over the past yearbut adds there is also a rise in regional business condence.
Business NSW’s latest quarterly Business Conditions Survey reveals a staggering one in three businesses saw premiums rise by 30 per cent or more - well above the 2.5 per cent in ation rate for the year to January.
Business NSW, Regional Director – Western NSW, Vicki Seccombe said businesses are fed up with having the highest-taxed insurance premiums in mainland Australia.
“The NSW Government is collecting more than ever through the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) and stamp duty,” Ms Seccombe said.
You can’t run a business when your premiums increase by 30 per cent or more in a year.

“This leaves businesses either to either foot the bill or simply go without insurance and hope for the best,” she said.
“Many others have been at-out rejected by insurance companies.” Alarmingly, a December survey of Business NSW members found that 64 per
cent of respondents were not fully insured against catastrophic events. This leaves businesses ex-

Ms Seccombe said insur-
ernments need to step up and do something now,” Ms Seccombe said.
“Businesses are struggling because of rising premiums, and it’s simply unsustainable.
“Many Western NSW businesses now nd themselves either uninsurable or unable to a ord the soaring cost of insurance.
“You can’t run a business when your premiums increase by 30 per cent or more in a year,” Ms Seccombe said. Other localised ndings from the Business Conditions Survey include:

• 75 per cent of Western NSW businesses plan to maintain the same headcount or hire additional sta .
• More businesses are investing in technologies like Arti cial Intelligence (AI) to boost productivity.
• More businesses now view regulatory requirements as excessive, and
• Key factors that would boost Western NSW business con dence in 2025 include further interest rate cuts, slowing in ation, easier access to skilled workers and more domestic visitors.

Grenfell Gunyah celebrates 50 years
CONTRIBUTED
The Grenfell Gunyah Cra Shop came into existence in 1973 when a number of Grenfell ladies banded together to form a group to promote wool and woollen goods.
The shop opened on 2 April 1973 at 63 Main Street in rented premises.
The premises were sold in 1975 and the hunt began for a new home.
Three Gunyah members, Betty Fountain, Gwen St Vincent Welch and Ruby Ingrey, purchased 50 Main Street in 1975, transferring to Constance Wheatley, Roma Gri ths and Pat Mendham in 1980, and nally a er incorporation, the Grenfell Gunyah Cra Shop Inc became the owner in 1994.
Regardless of the names on the deed, 50 Main Street has been the home of Grenfell Gunyah since 28 April 1985, and that is cause for celebration.
At its inception, beyond the promotion of wool/woollen goods, the Grenfell Gunyah was also envisioned to be a charitable organisation, endeavouring each month to use the pro ts to donate to a local worthy cause.
The rst donation was given to the Grenfell District Hospital to open a fund for an icemaking machine.
Today this mission of raising and donating funds within the Weddin Shire continues, and is in fact enshrined in the constitution of the
Grenfell Gunyah Cra Shop Inc.
In 2024 Grenfell Gunyah provided funds for scholarships to Year 7 and Year 11 students at The Henry Lawson High School; annual donations to CEF Grenfell, Grenfell Public School, St Joseph’s Primary School, The Henry Lawson High School, and Weddin Mountain Muster, with one o donations made to the Hospital Auxiliary in memory of Merle Hunter; the Jonah Mills Fundraiser, Grenfell Girl Guides and Can Assist.
Recognition of the hard work of the Gunyah members (all volunteers) over the past six decades must also be part of the celebration.
Without the hard work and enthusiasm of these volunteers, Grenfell Gunyah Cra Shop would not exist today.
To celebrate 50 fabulous years at 50 Main Street, the Grenfell Gunyah will be hosting an open day on Sunday 4 May 2025.
More details of the event will be available closer to the event – keep an eye out on the Gunyah Facebook page https://www.facebook. com/GrenfellGunyah, in the Gunyah window and upcoming editions of the Grenfell Record.
If anyone has photos or memorabilia from the early Gunyah days, we would be love to display those items on this day. Please contact Debra Hasler, Gunyah President 0492 473 469 or email Gunyah50at50@gmail.com
Community support appreciated as Jonah’s battle continues
Jonah has been bravely battling high-risk stage 4 neuroblastoma since February 2024, undergo ing a series of rigorous treatments in an effort to fight the disease.
To date, he has com pleted six rounds of chemotherapy, which successfully reduced a large tumor in his stom ach and treated cancer in his bones.
Jonah then underwent a challenging eight-hour surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, which had been wrapped around several major arteries.
Afterward, Jonah con tinued his fight with another round of chem otherapy and has under gone two bone marrow transplants using his own harvested cells.
Following these trans plants, Jonah was in iso lation for three months to allow his body time to recover and heal.
He will also be under going scans to monitor his progress.
In January, Jonah faced 15 rounds of radiation treatment, each requiring general anesthesia.
Following the completion of radiation, Jonah will receive four to five months of immunotherapy to continue the fight.
Sadly, Jonah’s most recent CT scan revealed that the cancer has progressed significantly, and Jonah is now in the terminal stage of his illness.
Despite this heartbreaking news, his parents, Desiree and David,
have chosen to bring him home to focus on making precious memories in the time they have left together.
Jonah will also receive radiation treatment to help manage his pain and improve his comfort.
While the length of Jonah’s journey remains uncertain, Desiree and David are committed to providing him with the most loving and joyful experiences possible. This is in aims of allowing him to live as a typical child during this incredibly difficult time. They continue to ask for support and kindness as they navigate this next phase of their journey.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, so this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace. Enjoy!
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn’t allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could involve moving to a new location. Discuss this with your family members before making a decision.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to “set things straight,” make sure that the whole thing wasn’t just a misinterpretation of the facts.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience will also help you understand yourself better.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles that family members may be asked to play. But don’t be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choices highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clear-cut manner.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carrying a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future. The choice, as always, has to be yours.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watchwords this week are “focus, focus, focus.” Don’t let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do. There’ll be time later to look over other possibilities.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes that you’re not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you’ve already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow. And if you’re still looking, odds are, you’ll soon be finding what you want!
Year 5/6 Red shines at assembly
GRENFELL PUBLIC SCHOOL
On Friday, the students of Grenfell Public School’s 5/6 Red took the stage at the whole school assembly, showcasing their creativity and talent with a delightful play inspired by the beloved children’s show, Bluey.
Under the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Forde, the class not only wrote the script but also cra ed vibrant masks that added a special touch to their performance.
Excitement was in the air as students danced their way
to the stage to the sound of the Bluey theme song, ready to share their hard work with their peers and proud parents.
The performance was met with enthusiastic applause, as the young actors brought the story to life, capturing the essence of fun and imagination Bluey is known for.
It was a great for both the performers and the audience, celebrating creativity within the school community.
Congratulations to 5/6 Red for a fantastic performance!
Gardening enthusiasts rally at St Joseph’s Primary School working bee
GARDEN PROJECT UPDATE
There has been much excitement amongst the students at St Joseph’s Primary School whilst engaging with the ‘Garden Project’.
Recently, gardening enthusiasts from the St Joseph’s Primary School community rallied to provide help through a working bee at the school.
As a result, vegetable gardens at St Joseph’s Primary School were constructed and lled with soil, the garden bed at the Grenfell Multi-Purpose Health Service was also lled with soil, a green house was built to grow seedlings in, and a compost bin was set-up for the Grenfell Preschool and Long Day Care Centre.
Appreciation goes out to all involved with this work, including Melanie and Claire from Weddin Landcare and their families, the families and sta from St Joseph’s Primary School, Glenn Gault for leveling the site, Stevens Sand and Gravel, Billimari Olive Oil Press for their donation of the IBC containers to build the vegetable garden, and the team at Western NSW Local Health District for last minute supply dashes.
It will be wonderful to see the beautiful, fresh, nutrient dense food that Grenfell Community Produce grows as a result for the Grenfell Food Hall.

Back on track: Harness racing to return to Forbes ANZAC Day
It’s taken time but harness racing will return to Forbes this ANZAC Day.
The ood-damaged track has been rebuilt and Sunday morning trials have heralded the return of racing for Forbes Diggers Harness Racing Club.
A delighted Forbes Diggers Harness Racing Club president Lex Crosby is urging all community members to plan to include a visit to the races in their day.

Sasha Keeping was an early winner for Darren Wort at the Temora Meeting on March 9, in a driving nish Sasha Keeping nished best defeating kennelmate Mr. Swindells narrowly in 19.11.
While the meeting has continued - hosted by Eugowra in 2023 and Parkes in 2024 - this will be the rst time the race meeting has been held at Forbes’ local showground track since 2022.
The track has been completely rebuilt since those oods, and new fencing installed around it.
The rst oods of November 2022 had washed away the track surface but the club put gravel down so local trainers could keep their horses in work again.
The second, even bigger ood, was so much more destructive, washing away not only the track surface but the fencing.
“We virtually had to put all new fencing around the track, we’ve had to resurface the whole track, and re grade it so it had the camber,” Crosby said.
“Forbes council have been tremendous to us.”
Horses have been training on the track for a little while but now it’s been put to the test with the rst of a series of monthly harness racing trials occurring in
Harness racing is back on track in Forbes in time for their traditional ANZAC Day meeting.
February.
“It was very exciting having everyone back,” Mr Crosby said.
“We were going to only have trials in the three months leading up to the meeting but we’ve had so much feedback that we’re going to now have trials on the rst Sunday of every month.
“We put on a breakfast for everyone, it’s a good time to get together.”
Plans for the traditional ANZAC Day harness racing meeting are coming together well.
Forbes Diggers Harness Racing Club was founded by returned service men to raise funds to build the RSL Club, and the ANZAC Day meeting is their signature event.
It always features a moving ANZAC Day parade and service amidst an a ernoon of competition for a series of memorial races.
This year, Mr Crosby is
rallying local sports clubs to a new feature: a Diggers Cup sports relay where four human members of each club will pull a gig around the track.
Another feature of the a ernoon will be entertainment by the band A iktion, of students from Red Bend Catholic College.
Mr Crosby believes it will be a very special day to honour Australia’s service men and women, including those who founded the Forbes club, as well as show appreciation for all those who have supported the club since it was a ected by disaster.
“It’s been a long process to get us back on track,” Mr Crosby said.
“A lot of people have helped us and as president of the club it’s very moving , the people who have helped us out.
“I really want it to be a day the community can come together.”
