AT WEDDIN Shire Council's ordinary monthly meeting on Thursday, August 15, Council looked at the state of the Shire as of the last ordinary meeting before the Local Government elections in 2024.
Some of the key achievements of the council's term - from 2021 to 2024 - were mentioned through the Mayoral Minute, which Cr Craig Bembrick briefly listed.
Cr Bembrick said the headlines of the achievements included community resilience, culturally rich, vibrant and inclusive com-
munity, events such as Light Up the Night, the local economy such as the Main Street beautification, and pets and animal control such as the Keeping Cats Safe at home and desexing program
The Mayoral Minute was carried by council and the full details of the Mayoral Minute can be found within the minutes of the ordinary Council meeting on Weddin Shire Council's website.
Council's General Manager Noreen Vu spoke to the state of the shire (end of term) report within the General Manager's reports.
Ms Vu said the state of the shire report, which is some-
times referred to as the end of term report is presented but is a working draft
Ms Vu said she would to
acknowledge the councillors as they have participated in a couple of workshops to help them formulate this state of
the shire report
"It provides a baseline in terms of how we actually travelled against our community strategic plan and passes on some words of wisdom over to the next council in terms of challenges and opportunities that the next council term can consider," she said.
Ms Vu said at this point in time it's just for council to endorse the contents in the draft because it will be the new council who will adopt or endorse the the final report
Council voted to endorse the contents of the Draft State of our Shire report and noted
the State of Our Shire Report will be formally presented at the second council meeting of the newly elected council. The background information provided in the Draft State of our Shire report, each outgoing council is required to prepare a State of Our Shire (SOOS) report The SOOS report replaces and combines the former End of Term Report This report will provide information that sets the scene for the new council and may include achievements to date and highlight future work to be undertaken.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Impatience with those who don’t keep up with you can cause resistance, which, in turn, can lead to more delays. It’s best to be helpful and supportive if you want good results.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A surprise announcement from a colleague could put you on the defense Gather your facts and respond. You’ll soon find the situation shifting in your favor.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The time spent away from a project pays off with a new awareness of options that you hadn’t considered before. Weigh them carefully before deciding which to choose.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Consider confronting a personal conflict while there’s still time to work things out. A delay can cause more problems. A longtime colleague might offer to mediate.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some emerging matters could impede the Lion’s progress in completing an important project. Best advice: Deal with them now before they can create costly delays.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your aspect continues to favor an expanding vista. This could be a good time to make a career move, and taking an out-of-town job could be a good way to do it.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Disruptive family disputes need to be settled so that everyone can move on. Avoid assuming this burden alone, though. Ask no, demand help with this problem.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Patience is called for as you await word on an important workplace situation. A personal circumstance, however, could benefit by your taking immediate action.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Don’t lose confidence in yourself. Those doubters are likely to back off if you demand that they show solid proof as to why they think your ideas won’t work.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A temporary setback might cause some unsettling moments for the usually sure-footed Goat. But keep going! The path ahead gets easier as you move forward.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) There’s welcome news from the workplace. There could also be good news involving a relationship that has long held a special meaning for you.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You still might need to cut some lingering ties to a situation that no longer has the appeal it once held. In the meantime, you can start to explore other opportunities.

Welcome everyone to the 2024 Grenfell Show! The committee is endeavouring to bring you another family friendly show with a lot of activities for the kids to keep them occupied throughout the day.
A lot of time has been put into the Showground this past year
We would like to thank the Grenfell Showground Land Managers and all of the volunteers who have helped get the grounds and sheds in good condition.
It is their efforts that allow our show to be more pleasant for the patrons of our show.
Earlier in the year we went to Narromine to attend the Zone 6 final of the 2024 Young Woman Competition. We were very ably represented by Bridget Baker, the 2023 Grenfell Young Woman.
Although she did not go onto the next step at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, she spoke wonderfully during her on- stage interview and is a credit to her family and Grenfell.
The 2023 Rural Ambassador competition was won by Joshua Edwards at the local level. Joshua has been a long time supporter of the Grenfell Show for many year and we thank him for his representation in the competition.
The committee would like to encourage all young people within our region to enter these competitions
One of our biggest priorities as a committee over the past three years has been to provide low cost entertainment at the Grenfell Show In 2024 we continue this endeavour.
Friday night will include the return of our stunning fireworks display, live entertainment in front of the Red Shed, free face painting and a NEW mullet competition!
Saturday will have show favourites - the giant sandpit in front of the tractor pull, Live Reptile Displays, free face painting, the animal nursery returning to the poultry shed, Troppo Bob Magic Show, Base Zero Rock Climbing and the Dachshund Dash!
I would like to thank all of our sponsors and communi-
ty members for their support to ensure the continuity of our show.
I would also like to acknowledge all of the time and effort put in by our stewards, volunteers and the ever-hardworking committee.
Without you our show would not be the incredible community event it is today. Good luck to all of our exhibitors with your entries this year
We look forward to seeing you at our show in August
During these difficult times we hope we can provide an affordable and enjoyable outing for everyone
We will be happy to hear what your thoughts are for any improvements and we would welcome you to attend our monthly meeting with any new ideas
For more information on the time and place of meetings, visit our website www.grenfellshow.com.au or Facebook page Grenfell Show
See you at the show.

FORMER jockey Michael Hackett from Parkes, tasted success on the other side of the fence as a owner when Way To Divine won the Elite Sand & Soil 1400 metres Country Boosted Maiden Plate at the recent Dubbo meeting.
Trained at Parkes by co-owner Sharon Jeffries and with Cowra jockey Mathew Cahill in the saddle, Way To Divine ($21) finished well along the inside to overhaul Release The Spirit (Ashleigh Stanley, $21) and win by a length with Rich Street (An-
drew Banks, $61) another length away third
After riding 276 winners the jockey career of Michael Hackett came to an end when he suffered life threatening injuries in a 2019 race fall.
Of his many highlights in the saddle, well remembered are his 8 wins on the grey mare Platinum Skye, rated amongst the best sprinters ever produced in the central west.
Bred by Simon Thompson and Janian McMillan from Wellington, owned by Danny Gregory from Mudgee and trained by Sharon Jeffries, Platinum Skye (by Intergaze from Sky News) at debut
won a 1000 metres Maiden Handicap at Orange in November 2008.
The other wins for Michael Hackett on Platinum Skye were at Wellington (2), Orange, the Thunderbolt at Queanbeyan, Canberra , Warren and Coonamble while he was also a close second on Platinum Skye in the Flat Knacker at Albury.
Tiffany Jeffries, the daughter of Sharon and Dale Jeffries, won at Randwick on Platinum Skye while Dubbo based apprentice Joe Saiki had a win at Queanbeyan.
Sharon Jeffries recorded 10 wins and four placings from 18 starts with Platinum
Skye before the horse left her stable
Later trained by Garry Portelli at Warwick Farm, Platinum Skye had three starts, finishing fifth of 12 in the Listed Sheraco Stakes at Rosehill, fourth of eight in the G2 Schillaci Stakes at Caulfield won by Black Caviar and 5th of 8 in the G11 Caulfield Sprint.
The win by Way To Divine at Dubbo was a real family affair, the strapper Tiffany Jeffries who rode 167 winners before retirement, being the cousin of Michael Hackett.
Tiffany Jeffries and Michael Hackett were apprenticed to Sharon Jeffries and
were tutored by Dale Jeffries who during an outstanding career rode the winner of every Cup in the Central districts
Forbes to host a TAB meeting on Thursday (August 29) to replace the Narromine Cup meeting unfortunately washed out on Sunday Gulargambone Cup is scheduled for Saturday and Wellington (TAB) on Monday.
