AN AMAZING NIGHT OUT AT CEF GRENFELL’S SPRING BALL
Best to lead shire
Weddin councillors identify priorities for next four years
By BRENDAN McCOOL
The new councillors at Weddin Shire Council were sworn in at their extraordinary meeting on Tuesday, October 8.
Councillor Paul Best was elected, unopposed, as Mayor, with Councillor Colleen Gorman elected as Deputy Mayor. They will serve as Mayor and Deputy Mayor for a two year period.
Upon being elected as Weddin Shire Mayor at the extraordniary meeting, Councillor Best said he would like to congratulate all the councillors on their election and thanked them for the honour of serving as the mayor.
Cr Best took a moment to recognise and thank the former mayor Craig Bembrick for his hard work, leadership and friendship over the last term which
has set a really strong foundation up for this new Council.
Cr Best also thanked the previous coucillors and candidates who ran for the election, thanking them for their passion for and commitment to the community.
Moving forward, the first thing on the agenda, Cr Best said, is completing all of the things left to do from the previous Council including the festoon lighting in the Main street, toilet blocks at the cemetery, an inclusive playground at Taylor Park and completing millions of dollars worth of road works to be completed once the funding becomes available.
“We’re two years down the track and we still haven’t got all of our packages of funding from the state government to fix our roads,” he said.

Tulips in focus at Grenfell Garden Club’s October meeting
OUR October meeting was held at Wendy Johnson’s home, a spacious house set on five acres of well-tended lawns and beautiful gardens.
After routine matters had been dealt with, we heard about Wendy Johnson’s recent visit to Tulip Top Gardens.
Wendy and three other members had accepted the Cherry Blossom Garden Club in Young’s invitation to Garden Club members to join them in a bus trip to Tulip Top Gardens in Sutton, outside Canberra.
This is a popular tourist attraction, open to the public for only one month
a year when the tulips are in flower.
Wendy said they were amazed and impressed by the time and effort which had obviously been put into maintaining gardens.
They agreed the trip was definitely worthwhile and enjoyed by them all.
Also discussed was the invitation to the upcoming South-West NSW Zone Garden Clubs Friendship Day.
Some of us will be representing our Club and we look forward to the opportunity to meet with members from the other seven affiliated clubs, as this is the first time that all the clubs will be together.
Afternoon tea offered was the usual excellent and plentiful selection of cakes and slices, and the warm, spring weather encouraged us to take a pleasant walk around the grounds, with Wendy encouraging us to accept cuttings from her extensive variety of plants.
Our next meeting on Tuesday, November 5 will commence at 1 p.m. at the Grenfell Country Club, followed at 2 p.m. by the Red Cross Melbourne Cup Day afternoon tea, so of course members are not expected to bring a plate on this occasion. Anita Edwards, Publicity Officer The
Grenfell Christian Bookshop celebrates 50th anniversary
By ANNE GAULT
On October 26 the Grenfell Christian Bookshop will celebrate its 50th birthday with a special afternoon tea for all past and present volunteers.
This weekend – October 18 and 19 – the Grenfell Christian Bookshop will be conducting its main annual fundraiser, a two-day street stall outside IGA.
The Grenfell Christian Bookshop first opened in what is now The Gunyah on October 28, 1974.
The main proponent was Marcia Goodwin who had come to Grenfell with her electrician husband at the start of the decade, but she was well-supported by a group of ladies from across the churches who saw in such a shop the opportunity to resource the local community with Christian-related books and other stock not readily available elsewhere.
Its constitution describes it as a non-profit, non-denominational organisation with the primary aims of making Christian literature available at reasonable cost (the shop still absorbs the cost of freight on orders) and being a place of Christian outreach.
At first the Bookshop was open only one afternoon a week but as available stock and number of volunteers in-

creased this was extended to several afternoons.
The Bookshop moved twice to new main street locations in the 70s and continued to be an active witness to and resource provider for the community.
In November 1980 significant stepping out in faith occurred with the purchase of the current premises – no more packing up and moving! – and opening hours were extended to six days a week.
The shop and shop front date to the later middle 1800s and is part of the main street historical precinct. Despite its name it became
far more than just a bookshop.
As well as expanding its range of stock into cards, AV resources and gift items it maintained a high profile within the community running craft days, witness walks, Carols by Candlelight, letter box drops, an Annual Frail Aged Luncheon and having floats in the Henry Lawson Festival procession and stalls at the Grenfell Show.
The Bookshop was the catalyst for the opening of similar shops in surrounding towns – Cowra (still operating), Young, West Wyalong and Cootamundra. Prior to their openings
Senior Journalist
Manager Marcia Goodwin would travel to these towns with a carload of stock as an outreach.
Original signatories to the setting up of the Bookshop were the Grenfell churches –the Uniting, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and Salvation Army churches with the Family Church joining a bit later– and volunteers in the Bookshop come from all except the Salvation Army who have their own general shop next door.

Grenfell CEF hosts a successful Spring Ball
By CLEMENCE MATCHETT
The inaugural Country Education Foundation of Grenfell Spring Ball at the Grenfell Bowling Club was attended by over 130 local, regional and interstate families and friends.
There was celebration in the air with past and present CEF recipients being part of the vibrant crowd. Apologies were from the Honourable Steph Cooke, Member for Cootamundra and Jan and Ron McLelland, stalwarts of the organisation.
Courtney Hunter and father Ross along with Bianca Hughes, representing the Grenfell Bowling Club, led the way in suggesting the occasion as a fundraiser for CEF earlier in the year.
From that point the energetic committees rallied together to make it happen.
After Chair, Clemence Matchett welcomed the crowd, there was music provided by Elk Mountain, and food in the form of grazing boxes supplied by the kitchen staff who managed to serve as well as partake in the event. Later Jack Whitty, a local auctioneer of Miller, Whitty Lennon auctioned goods supplied by Natasha
Barker of Farm and Fable.
The committee of CEF Grenfell would like to thank the community in backing this event as proceeds go to support the aspirations of our local youth in their post school training and education.
As a reminder, the Annual General Meeting of CEF Grenfell is Thursday October, 24 at 7pm, at Grenfell Bowling Club.
All welcome.
Take care on our roads this harvest
TARGETED messaging will be activated from Thursday, October 17, at key Central West pinch points to encourage safer interactions between passenger vehicles and those transporting grain and hay from nearby paddocks.
Electronic message signs will be installed roadside at Moree, Bellata, Gilgandra, Trangie, Condobolin, Parkes and Forbes where heavy vehicles and farm machinery being used for harvest will be at its peak.
Messaging on these signs targeting drivers involved in harvest will include ‘Wear a seatbelt, demerits and fines apply,’ as well as ‘Don’t die for a deadline’ and ‘Stop, revive, survive’.
Motorists in the community who share the network with these operators will also be reminded of the role they play in keeping the roads safe during this busy time: ‘Be aware around trucks. Can they see you?’ and ‘Be aware around trucks. Use extra caution’.
Transport for NSW Director West Alistair Lunn said it is important for motorists were aware that slow moving harvest machinery will soon be sharing the road network.
“We all want to get home safely at the end of each day,” Mr Lunn said.
The campaign supported by Transport for NSW,
GrainCorp, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and state farming networks is focused on making harvest season as safe as possible.
“Harvest season is an exciting time of year for the state’s cropping communities, but also an exhausting one, as they combine regular farm work with getting grain to the silo.
“The combination of long days and heavy machinery could end badly unless all operators are aware of the dangers of fatigue and are doing all they can to manage it.
However, Mr Lunn said it was not only harvest vehicle operators who had to take extra care.
“The harvest period coincides with school holidays, which is a time when we see plenty of caravanners travelling on our rural and regional roads,” he said.
“Our roads are there to share and this mix of farming machinery, grain trucks and other traffic along major freight and travel routes makes that message more important than ever.
“All drivers need to be road safe and take proper breaks to manage fatigue. We all need to look out for each other. So, take care and be truck aware,” he said.
For more information please visit the Centre for Road Safety website.

Principal’s morning tea celebrates top achievers
By TAMARA McMAHON
Students at Grenfell Public School eagerly look forward to earning their place at the Principal’s Morning Tea.
This special event is an exclusive reward for those who have achieved the highest accolade in the school’s reward system - the ‘Grenfell Blue’ award.
Students who reach this milestone are treated to a morning tea with Principal Mr Cartwright, in recognition of their hard work in and out of the classroom.
Typically, the morning tea takes place in the Principal’s office, but due to the large number of students at the most recent event, the gathering was relocated to the school kitchen.
At this morning tea, the atmosphere was filled with excitement as the
Watch out, snakes are about
THE arrival of warmer weather might be welcome after months of winter, but it also heralds the resurgence of snakes and the potential for bites.
Rural GPs have been warned to be on the alert for snake bites following the arrival of warmer weather.
Snakes generally remain inactive during the colder months, and the onset of spring brings them out to hunt.
There have been several snake sightings reported on Facebook within the township in the last week. If your pets are bitten, they may die or have to be euthanised.
Many snake bites end up being relatively minor, but it is important for GPs to have it on their radar.
lucky students gathered to enjoy a delicious array of party food, including sausage rolls, party pies, cupcakes and jellies. Sharing stories and a laugh with Mr Cartwright, the students enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments in a relaxed and fun environment.
This event has become a much-anticipated tradition at Grenfell Public School, serving as a strong motivator for students to strive for excellence in both their academic and personal conduct.

Meet our new Weddin Council
■ From page 1
Cr Best’s initial priority for the first 12 months is to complete all of those projects and get the roads back in a good situation.
Without the funding, the situation is getting worse and roads aren’t getting better, Cr Best said, but they have had a really good community who have put up with it so far.
“Without that funding we can’t do anything about it, and one of my thigs with this Council is we’ve got to look at the process because it is broken,” he said.
“We shouldn’t be two years down the track from a major flooding event and still have roads that haven’t been repaired.”
Cr Best said they need to look at pushing the state government to change those
processes and that local councils can’t do it on their own.
With seven new faces on council, Cr Best said they would provide a lot of new points of view, new ideas, new focusses and new energy which would be good.
Cr Colleen Gorman said there was a lot of enthusiasm amongst the new councillors.
“We’re all here for the right reasons, we love Grenfell and want to give it a go and are determined to do our best,” she said.

Blue-green algae naturally occurs in lakes and dams, thriving in warm, nutrient-rich waters with sunlight exposure. Recent rainfall followed by warmer temperatures has created favourable conditions for its growth. Unfortunately, this has led to increased levels at Company Dam.
Blue-green algae impacts a number of lakes and dams across the state. Council Officers are actively monitoring the situation to ensure community safety.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Distractions continue to nibble at your available time. Turn them off and concentrate on setting your sights on your goal. Progress might be slow, but it is steady.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) An opportunity opens up in a new
You might not feel that it’s for you, but check it out anyway. You could be surprised; you might be able to adjust to its requirements.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A new work environment presents some difficult choices. Best advice: Be ready to defend your decisions while still keeping your mind open to suggested alternatives.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Don’t let your Leonine pride continue to jeopardize a cherished relationship. You’ve already taken too long to make that apology. Do it now before it’s too late.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend needs assistance but fears that you might want to know more than they are prepared to reveal. Provide help without probing into the situation.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You face an important personal decision that could affect a family member. Have a full, frank, no-holds-barred discussion with them before you act.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Take some time out to think over the choices that have suddenly emerged in your life. Don’t be rushed into making a decision until all the facts are known.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone might be trying to gain your trust for their own advantage. Be wary: A seemingly friendly smile might be an exercise in teeth-baring.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A situation that emerged earlier can no longer be ignored. You need to deal with it now so that it won’t interfere with more important considerations.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A job situation presents some problems. Deal with them one by one, and they’ll soon vanish. Meanwhile, in your personal life, a Libra would like to know your intentions.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Let your partner know how you feel about your stalled relationship. A delay will result in your swimming around in circles and going nowhere.

Great day at Burrangong Picnics
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 cas-
tle, and ice cream vans, making the event a fun-filled day for all ages.
As the races concluded, live music from the Canberra band Metropolis kept the crowd entertained well into the evening, ensuring the fun continued beyond the track. The success of this year’s races and the increase in attendance reflect the community’s growing support for this iconic event.
With perfect spring weather, a bustling crowd, and seamless organization, the Burrangong Picnic Races have once again solidified their place as a highlight of the local calendar.
Homecoming success story for Wayne out of Forbes Spring Races
By COLIN HODGES
WAYNE Martyn, when a resident of Forbes, rode winners as a jockey at central west picnic race meetings.
Now a long time trainer at Coonabarabran, Wayne returned on Saturday to his former home town to win with the six year old gelding Felis at the successful Forbes Jockey Club spring meeting.
Although an $11 outsider, Felis had good support in the betting ring and well ridden by Georgina McDonnell came from a distinct last with a strong finish down the outside to win the 1600 metres Terry Bros Carpet Court Benchmark 50 Handicap by a half length from Da Noive (Dylan Stanley, $3.80) and Well Decorated (Wendy Peel, $18).
Wayne Martyn will now no
doubt start getting runners ready for the Coonabarabran Cup meeting on Sunday 27th October.
Orange trainer Melissa Harrison not only won the race but also supplied the quinella in the 1400 metres Forbes Machinery & BWR Accountants Benchmark 50 Handicap.
Close to the leaders at the top of the straight, On The Decs (Shayleigh Ingelse, $7) won by a long neck from stablemate Bobby’s Secret (Ken Dunbar, $3.70) while Dundas (Clayton Gallagher, $2.20 favourite) was a long head away, third.
Favourite backers were off to a good start when the Roy McCabe, Bathurst trained Tommy’s Girl (Ashleigh Stanley, $2.90) turned for home in third place then finished best to beat Kingsway (Kody Nestor, $4.80) and Dalante (Andrew Banks, $19) in the 1400 me-
tres Peter Maher Shearing Services & Bryton Wool Maiden Handicap. A typically polished ride by Mathew Cahill paved the way for success by Angel Of Spring in the 1200 metres Shead & Nicholson and Ron Baker Switchboards Maiden Plate.
Best to begin, the Garry Kirkup, Canberra trained Angel Of Spring ($2.20 favourite) was eased to fourth before finishing well to account for Catori Lass (Ken Dunbar, $9) and The Legal Factor (Clayton Gallagher, $6).
Clayton Gallagher had better fortune when he brought the Gayna Williams, Bathurst trained Cheap Shot ($2.35 favourite) from back in the field to beat Slush Fund (Kody Nestor, $4.80) and Field Agent (Mathew Cahill, $7) by a half length in the 1200 metres Acheson’s Mitre 10 Benchmark 50 Handicap.
Punters who backed the Michael Lunn, Dubbo trained Rewarding Belle, first over the line in the 1100 metres Forbes Livestock & Agency Co Class 1 Handicap, breathed a sigh of relief when a protest by the jockey on the runner up for alleged interference at the 600 metres was dismissed.
After tracking the leaders, Rewarding Belle (Andrew Banks, $9) hit the front and won by over a length from the fast finishing Rothgate (Clayton Gallagher, $1.85 favourite) with Play The Record (Hannah Johnston, $16) filling third place.
The Forbes racecourse was presented in great condition through the hard work of the committee and track curator Tom Molloy.
Coming up: Racing at Narromine on Saturday featuring the Dandy Cup with Orange to race on Tuesday.
Terry’s contribution to country racing
■ From back page
Terry Carroll served as Secretary for an unprecedented 46 years, until 2023, embodying unwavering commitment and leadership.
Terry said a main reason he was a member of the Grenfell Jockey Club is a lifelong love of horses, a passion he shared with his mother, and considered becoming a jockey, but couldn’t meet the weight requirements.
In 1996, Terry’s outstanding service was honored with Life Membership of the Grenfell Jockey Club during the inaugural Grenfell Guineas.
This race, a prominent feature for 3-year-olds with a prize pool of $30,000 in the late 1990’s, was a testament to the late Michael Nealon and Terry’s vision and organisational prowess.
Though the race eventually ceased due to external circumstances, its legacy endures as a highlight of Terry’s tenure.
Terry’s achievements extended beyond local races.
In October 2008, he orchestrated the Emirates Melbourne Cup tour’s visit to Grenfell twice, incorporating the history of the local horse “Come On,” which ran in the 1962 Melbourne Cup.
The second time he organised the Melbourne Cup tour’s visit was September 2014.
His meticulous planning and coordination transformed the event into a memorable carnival, rallying the entire town.
Throughout his 46 years of service, Terry was a driving force behind numerous track and facility upgrades.
His contributions include reshaping the track, enhancing surfaces and starting areas, installing new running rails, building essential infrastructure like race day stalls and wash bays, securing heritage grants for grandstand repairs, and much more.
Terry’s hands-on approach ensured the track was always in top condition for race days, reflecting his commitment and expertise.
With Terry’s retirement as the Club’s Secretary, Andrew said this year was the first time since he became Club President 20 years ago that he has hosted the Grenfell Jockey Club Race - and he missed his experience and advice as the Club Secretary.

Honour for Terry’s life of service
TERRY Carroll’s outstanding contribution to country racing and the Grenfell Jockey Club has been recognised with the NSW Country Racing Awards’ Simon Nivison Special Recognition award.
The Grenfell Jockey Club’s Andrew Hooper said Terry really deserves this award and they are so proud of this recognition.
“In Terry’s absence I had the honour of accepting this award on his behalf at the racing awards ceremony from The Central Districts board representative Andrew Schier last Friday,” he said.
“Terry will be presented the award in person when we have our Grenfell Jockey Club celebration and get together for our 2024 race meeting.”
Terry said he wanted to thank the club for nominating him and that it was honour to be nominated.
He said it was a surprise that he
won it as he was up against people nominated from jockey clubs in bigger centres which host many more meetings throughout the year.
Andrew said Terry thoroughly deserves this award and he has given so much, not just to the Jockey Club but also to the whole community.
As part of his nomination of Terry for this award, Andrew wrote “it is with great pride that we nominate Terry for this special award in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the Grenfell Jockey Club and the broader Grenfell community.”
Terry’s journey with the Grenfell Jockey Club began in 1975, and he quickly demonstrated his dedication and talent by being elected Assistant Secretary in 1976 and then Secretary in 1977.
