Brian Ingram, Neil Langford, Jake Davis and Alison Foreman from Young and one other candidate have reached enough votes in the Hilltops Local Government election to be reelected to Council for the next four years.
At the time of going to print there were still just under 3,500 first preference votes still to be counted in the Hilltops Local Government Election with, 11,135 first preference votes out of 14,584 locals enrolled to vote. With a progressive quota of 855 first preference votes Brian Ingram, Neil Langford, Matthew Stadtmiller, Jake Davis and Alison Foreman have enough votes to be elected on to the new Hilltops Shire Council.
Tony Flanery, Mary Dodd and Abdullah Sultan were the other Young residents who were in the top 11 at the time of going to print.
There was an informal vote rate
of 7.92 percent with 882 ballots declared as being informal, meaning they are unclear, not marked correctly or unmarked all together.
At the time of going to print the top 11 vote counts sat at:
Brian Ingram - 1666 with 16.25 percent of the formal vote
Neil Langford - 1520 with 14.82 percent of the formal vote
Matthew Stadtmiller - 1153 with 11.25 percent of the formal vote
Jake Davis - 915 with 8.92 percent of the formal vote
Alison Foreman - 887 with 8.65 percent of the formal vote
Tony Flanery - 831 with 8.10 percent of the formal vote
James Blackwell - 478 with 4.66 percent of the formal vote
Jo Mackay - 471 with 4.59 percent of the formal vote
Mary Dodd - 441 with 4.30 percent of the formal vote
Abdullah Sultan - 404 with 3.91 percent of the formal vote
Michelle Gallo - 380 with 3.71 percent of the formal vote
Following the conclusion of the initial first preference count ballots will undergo a second count, which is known as a Check Count, this is the official count to determine the elected candidates.
Preferences from ballot papers will be entered into the NSW Electoral Commission computer count system which will determine the formality of each ballot paper based on the preferences entered.
The distribution of preferences is performed by the computer count system to determine the elected candidates.
In Hilltops the Proportional Representation System is used when allocating preferences. This means if a candidate is elected if they receive votes equal to or exceeding the quo-
ta. After the count of first preferences is complete, each candidate who has reached quota is elected. Where an elected candidate has a surplus of ballot papers over the quota, the surplus is transferred to the candidates who are not yet elected or excluded. If multiple candidates are elected, as is the case in Hilltops, each candidate’s surplus is transferred to the continuing candidates, from the highest surplus to the lowest.
After each transfer, if any more candidates have reached quota, they are elected and added to the queue of surpluses to be transferred, this continues until all have been transferred.
This process continues until all positions are filled or until all remaining vacancies can be filled by candidates whose total votes cannot be overtaken by the remaining candidates in the count.
A Harden couple will walk free from prison having been found not guilty, after being the prime murder suspects in the disappearance of a young mother who disappeared from Kingsvale over two decades ago.
Robert Samuel Geeves, 64, and Anne Margaret Geeves, 64, were acquitted by Justice Julia Lonergan on Monday morning at the end of an eight week trial of the former couple in the Supreme Court of Wagga.
In June 2002 Ms Haigh, who lived with the couple on their Kingsvale property, disappeared while allegedly going to visit her ill father. Mr Geeves told police, at the time of her disappearance, that Ms Haigh was dropped off at the Cambelltown Train Station, she has not
been seen since.
The couple denied having anything to do with Ms Haigh’s disappearance.
During the eight week trial held in Wagga, Justice Lonegran heard evidence from Ms Haigh’s family, doctor, friends and other witnesses with prosecutors claiming the pair killed Ms Haigh to gain custody of her baby, however, representatives for Mr and Mrs Geeves argued there was no evidence behind the allegations that had been made about the couple.
Justice Lonegran told the court that cases could not be decided on rumors, speculation, innuendo or suspicion and that even if she suspected the accused probably committed the offence they were charged
with she had no option but to acquit.
In her judgement, Justice Lonegran said she had decided that the version of events provided by the couple ‘may be true.’
She went on to say that she could not find evidence that Mr and Mrs Geeves saw Ms Haigh’s pregnancy as an opportunity for them to have another child.
Justice Lonegran told the court that she could not find anything ‘sinister’ in the couple’s assistance of Ms Haigh.
Ms Haigh’s mother and sister and Geeves’ son along with relatives of Janelle Goodwin, who died on the Geeves’ property at Kingsvale in 1993, were in attendance as the verdict was handed down.

The Australian Electoral Commission confirmed last Thursday that the Boorowa region will be joining the rest of the Hilltops under the electorate of Riverina.
Member for Riverina Michael McCormack has welcomed the news and welcomed the communities into his boundary, while also farewelling parts of the electorate that have now been rezoned into different boundary areas.
In June the AEC announced the significant changes which would see the whole of the Hilltops moved into the one electorate instead of two thirds in one and the Boorowa area in the Hume electorate.
“This means the Local Government Areas of Bland, Forbes and Parkes will be moved out of the Riverina electorate into the Parkes electorate and the Riverina will now include Snowy Valleys and Yass Valley LGAs from the Eden-Monaro electorate and the Upper Lachlan LGA as well as the Boorowa section of the Hilltops LGA from the Hume electorate,” Mr McCormack said.
“The AEC advises the new
boundaries will be formally determined when gazetted on Thursday 10 October 2024.”
Mr McCormack has thanked his constituents in Bland, Forbes and Parkes Shires for allowing him to represent them over the past years.
“I would like to take the opportunity to once again thank the people of the Bland, Forbes and Parkes Shires. I have been truly honoured to represent their interests in Canberra and will continue to support them until the next Federal Election, which is due before May 2025,” he said.
“I have established wonderful working relationships with each Shire’s community leaders and stakeholders, including the councils and I sincerely thank them for their professionalism and support, particularly each area’s past and present mayors – Bland Shire’s Neil Pokoney, Tony Lord and Brian Monaghan, Forbes Shire’s Graeme Miller and Phyllis Miller OAM and Parkes Shire’s Ken Keith OAM and Neil Westcott.”
Mr McCormack said he is very eager to be able to represent the whole Hilltops as well as the new LGAs which
have joined Riverina.
“By the same token, I am looking forward to the opportunity to represent Boorowa and the communities of Snowy Valleys, Upper Lachlan and Yass Valley LGAs to continue to work tirelessly to fiercely advocate for and on their behalf,” he said.
“I intend to hit the road as
soon as practicable to meet as many people as possible in the newer parts of the electorate as well as continuing to service the current electorate to the best of my ability.”
Mr McCormack is aiming to continue fighting for the communities in the Riverina and representing them in the Parliament in Canberra.
Young’s HYAG meeting was jam packed last week.
Thank you Emma Whitechurch from Medicare Mental Health for coming in for Suicide Prevention Day.
We were able to contribute to the artwork to remember and honour the 3,249 deaths by suicide in 2022. A huge thank you to Andrew from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Devel-
opment for coming all the way to Young to hear our opinions on matters directly related to our young people.
And lastly, we helped judge Hilltops Library’s Book Week competition!
All the while, we are preparing for the school holidays events!
Follow Hilltops Youth Action Group on Facebook and stay tuned because we have an exciting announcement coming soon.
“I am determined to continue to build on my strong record of delivery for the Riverina electorate and have the dedication, energy and experience to deliver on this commitment for the people who live, work and raise their families in this beautiful part of the world,” Mr McCormack said.
“The current Riverina
electorate is 48,988 square kilometres in size – larger than some countries. The new boundaries expand the electorate’s size to about 52,410 square kilometres (the fourth largest of 46 Federal electorates in New South Wales) and the voting population will rise from around 118,000 (117,895) to 127,626.”

A 15-year-old super fan of Tones and I took a chance after attending one of the musicians concerts in Newcastle and that chance resulted with the 19 times platinum performer putting on two concerts for ticket holders last Friday night.
Katelyn Whitehouse is normally a quiet spoken, shy teenager, however, knowing that her favourite performer and idol was in her home town brought her out of her shell with her literally bouncing with excitement.
“Oh my God, she’s here, she’s at Young North Public School,” Katelyn said awestruck. “I was literally just walking past there, we have the same pictures.”
That was the moment that Katelyn realised that what had started out as a hope had turned into reality.
“What if I see her? What if she’s here?” Katelyn and her Mum, Mary Jane sat with us at the Young Services Club, the place that would be filled to the brim from 4pm last Friday afternoon when music star Tones and I would be performing two sold out shows to over 1,000 people
who were lucky enough to get tickets.
Tickets sold out within four minutes last Thursday after they went on sale at 10am.
“I went to her Newy (Newcastle) show and then she made a post,” Katelyn said.
The post from Tones and I was along the lines of encouraging fans to tag where they would like her to perform and the town with the most comments would be lucky enough to receive a visit from the performer.
“I had to do it, so I went to the Facebook post and I asked Young if they could please help me out and they did,” she said. Yes, they most certainly did.
Three days before her arrival in Young, Tones and I announced that she is extending her Australian tour and also heading overseas next month to South Korea and Los Angeles in the USA, but only a day after (Wednesday) the singer announced she was seeing a lot of comments about Young and by Thursday she had done it, she had committed to coming to Young and performing at the Young Services Club on Friday.
Following the sold out matinee and evening show Tones asked locals on Facebook about which was the best school in town for her to pop in to surprise kids. On Friday the singer visited Young North Public School with students from all of the local small schools also attending the last minute performance.
“I posted it on my Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram, everywhere,” Katelyn said.
“I’m very excited but I’m so shocked and really nervous. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry when I talk to her. I don’t know what to do.”
And that is one dream that Katelyn can cross off her list.
The 15-year-old has merchandise from the singer, but more than that her music has helped her and inspired her over the last few years, so getting to meet her idol is a literal dream come true and being able to make it so other young people across the community can share in her joy was an added blessing.
“I was so happy,” Katelyn said.
Mary Jane is just as shocked as her daughter over the singer coming to Young.
“I’m so proud, everything that’s happened, wow, it’s un-
believable,” she said.
Katelyn is very grateful to the local community for getting behind her, but she is also very thankful for the support and encouragement she has received from her Mum.
“I want to thank everyone in Young, the Services Club,” Katelyn said. “And Tones for actually coming!”
From Tones and I’s first single Katelyn has felt a connection to the singer’s music.
“When her first song Johnny Run Away released, I just loved it so much,” Katelyn said. “I was trying to learn it in the loungeroom, I’d go to Mum and tell her ‘I know the whole song,’ and then I learned Dance Monkey.”
The first time Katelyn saw Tones and I perform was as the opener for P!nk.
“I didn’t know she was the opening act,” Katelyn said. “I found out the day before that she was performing and I was like, ‘Tones and I is performing?’
“I was so excited, I cried when she came on.”
According to Mary Jane it’s all the teenager talks about.
“For weeks and days and months, I was starting to get a headache,” Mary Jane
joked. “She shows me pictures, she shows me videos, I’ve seen it all.”
On Saturday when we caught up with Katelyn was still riding the high of meeting Tones and I.
“I got on stage,” Katelyn said.
“She’s coming back to town at the end of this year! She wants me to meet her whole team and go back on stage with her.”

Young Crisis Accommodation Centre’s (YCAC) latest fundraising efforts will have the town looking very stylish at upcoming local events.
Their pop up shop, located at 65
Lynch St showcases some of the unsold clothing pieces, shoes and accessories from their previous pop up event, as well newly donated items.
The range of items comes from a variety of brands including high end and designer pieces, some even unworn and with the tags on.
Community locals volunteered their time working as shop assistants, helping shoppers find and fit pieces all while supporting a worthy cause.
YCAC provide a range of services for locals in need and are consistently increasing their fundraising efforts in the hopes of being able to provide enough support for the increasing needs of Young and surrounding areas.
YCAC will not turn members of the community away and are thus heavily reliant upon donations and fundraising to bridge the gap between our allocated funding and meeting the needs of our communities.
The funds raised from the YCAC pop-up shop will have a lasting impact on the community by directly supporting the Young Crisis Accom-
modation Centre (YCAC) in its ongoing mission to provide safe, secure, and dignified accommodation for individuals and families in need.
Since its establishment in 1989, YCAC has expanded its services beyond crisis accommodation, now offering tailored support plans for those at risk of homelessness, including young people, women,
men, and families.
Last financial year alone, YCAC supported 327 clients – currently they are funded to support 255.
The funds will help YCAC continue its work in rapid rehousing and tenancy support, ensuring long-term, sustainable outcomes for those facing homelessness or domestic violence.
Additionally, these funds will contribute to the centre’s efforts in prevention, early intervention, and education around family violence. By collaborating with housing providers, other service organisations, and local authorities, YCAC advocates for the needs of the most vulnerable members of the community, promoting safety, connection, and the opportunity for all to thrive.
The pop up has been operating for two weeks now, and will continue on Friday the 20th and Saturday the 21st, opening hours range each day so please check the YCAC Facebook page for the exact hours.
Located approximately 22km north-west of Young in the Thuddungra locality, ‘Greenbank’ is a 1,333.5 acre (540ha) picturesque mixed farming property for sale for the first time since the 1860s.
Steele Caldwell (18151892), an early pioneer of the Bland region west of the Weddin Mountains purchased ‘Greenbank’ in 1861.
Steele’s daughter Agnes, married John Carlton Watson in 1877 and the Watson family have held Greenbank for five generations since.
The Thuddungra locality is known for it’s reliability of rainfall and strong red soils making it one of the most productive farming areas in NSW.
‘Greenbank’ which is currently leased by a family member has been run as part of a larger cropping and sheep operation.
Crops grown over the years include, canola, wheat, barley and oats.
The country is slightly undulating and the timber is predominately yellowbox.
The property is sub-divided into 13 main paddocks and would be an ideal location for a sheep or cattle stud with main road frontage, good shade for livestock and reliable water.
Once at the heart of a thriving sheep station, the ‘Greenbank’ homestead is in the process of being lovingly
restored to its original glory and in keeping with the historic significance of its time. There is huge potential for this original homestead to be fully restored or modernised by a new owner.
‘Greenbank’ is being offered for sale through a two-stage Expression of Interest process.
The first stage will run until 10am on Wednesday October 16, 2024 and will seek nonbinding offers from interested parties.
Stage two will be a period of price discovery and negotiation between the vendor and interested parties with the aim of acceptance of a fully binding offer by the vendor.
The vendor reserves the right to accept an early offer.
To obtain a copy of the IM contact the exclusive selling agent Angus McLaren on 0428 496 289.

Hilltops Vineyards Association has a new president with the retirement of Brian Mullany from Grove Estate in Young.
Hilltops Vineyards Association has announced James Bowman from Barwang Wines takes up the role.
Brian has congratulated James Bowman on taking on the role as President.
“James and Wendy Bowman although new to the wine industry after purchasing the Barwang Vineyard just two years ago bring enthusiasm and another lease of light to the industry in the Hilltops,” Brian said.
Brian has spent the past three and a half decades in a number of roles within the Association and looks fondly on his time, however, is very happy to leave the committee in good hands.
“After being involved for 36 years in various roles including as president, vice president and a committee member on the Hilltops Association I feel its time for some new blood on the board,” Brian said. “I attended my first meeting of the Young Vineyards association at the late Peter and Bib
Association. Photo: File.
Robinsons property Barwang in 1988.
“Peter and Bib at that stage had just sold Barwang to the McWilliams family and it is notable that the Bowman’s now have taken on that Property.“
The Hilltops was incorpo-
rated to the group almost forty years ago and it has been a part of the community ever since.
“At that meeting in 1988 it was suggested that the name Hilltops was a more appropriate name for the Vineyards Association as the vineyards were not only located in the Young Shire but also in The Harden and Boorowa shires,”
Brian said.
“The name Hilltops was used as most of the Vineyards were on Hilltops mainly as a form of frost protection.”
Brian said that the 90s were a very important part of the history of vineyards not only in the Hilltops but the whole world.
“Around the year 1997 the Australian Wine Industry was doing very well and the French started adjuvating that names like Champagne, Burgundy and Claret were names relating to French wine Regions and the rest of the world should not use these names to
describe or label their wines as such,” he said.
“So, a worldwide Geographical Wine Committee (GIC) was set up to see if they could define areas as Geographically different from each other and then name those areas.”
The history of the vineyards in the local area is amazing and it all began with an idea to launch a vineyard in an area that was not normally known for growing grapes. The association continued to grow and flourish in the region with more and more vineyards joining the ranks of the association after it was established, setting the area up as one of the most prevalent in southern NSW.
“The Hilltops association were very lucky that two people had moved to Young and purchased what was then the Hercinia Vineyard and Winery in Prunevale, this was later purchased by Brian Freeman,” Brian said.
“Pam Gillespie and Rob Provan took it under their wing to have our area registered worldwide as the ‘Hilltops GIC.’
“The work they did at no cost to the association was simply unbelievable and we will be forever in their debt.”
Brian is glad that he was apart of the association that has led the way locally with drawing tourists from not only across the country but overseas and he wishes James and the committee all the best as they head into the future.
“I find it unbelievable that 20 years later the Hilltops area has become a strong known agricultural region after the three councils of Boorowa, Harden and Young amalgamated,” Brian said.
“I can see agricultural tourism becoming one of the major industries in this great region and wish all the best to James as the new Hilltops President on this exciting new challenge.”
Summerfruit Australia
Limited welcomes news that Vietnam is allowing access for Australian plums.
Summerfruit Australia CEO Trevor Ranford attended the signing ceremony in Hanoi, Vietnam to represent Australia’s stonefruit industry, joining Australian and Vietnamese Government representatives to mark successful access for Aussie plums into Vietnam. This is effectively new access for Australian plums into Vietnam and adds to the stonefruit category’s reach into this market, with Australian peaches and nectarines already having access since early 2022.
Access for Australian plums comes after two years of negotiations between the Australian and Vietnamese Governments. Summerfruit Australia played a key role in the negotiations by making available practical industry material and information to support verification of orchard and packing procedures.
Mr Ranford said Australia exports more than 20,000 tonnes of stonefruit each season and mostly to Asian markets, which highly value our plums, peaches, apricots and nectarines. On behalf of Australian plum growers, Mr Ranford said this is a significant milestone and recognised the ef-
forts of the Australian and Vietnam Governments which have worked alongside industry to achieve this valuable market access outcome.
“Having access for Australian plums into Vietnam is extremely important, both for Australian plum growers to access a crucial market and for Vietnamese consumers who can expect to enjoy premium Aussie plums,” Mr Ranford said.
“It aligns with the Australian Government’s push for industry to diversify export markets and gives an opportunity for industry to progress at a time when the sector and growers have suffered from high costs of pro-
duction and inputs.
“Vietnam presents a great opportunity for market growth and its consumers appreciate a high quality product. With market development, Australia could achieve at least 15 per cent of the share of plums within five years, equating to 2,500 tonnes at a value of A$7.5 million.
“Australia’s reputation for top food safety and quality standards and its geographically diverse growing regions allowing for an extended season, put us in very good stead when it comes to diversifying into new markets and growing our share in existing ones.
“Both the Australian and Vietnamese Governments showed high levels of cooperation and dedication and worked with industry to achieve this outcome – and we sincerely thank them for this remarkable achievement.”
The hard work of DAFF, DFAT and the Australian Embassy representatives has been integral to this achievement. SAL would particularly like to recognise the work of the Agriculture Counsellor in Hanoi, Mr Tony Harman.
“I also commend the efforts of some of those previously involved with SAL’s Board and Executive, including Ian McAlister, John
Moore, Andrew Finlay and Adrian Conti, whose past groundwork has supported this market access to become a reality.
“Through the Summerfruit Fund, managed by Hort Innovation and utilising growers’ levies and matched funds from the Australian Government, SAL has been able to undertake the necessary trade activities to assist in achieving this new market access milestone.
“As an industry, we very much look forward to supplying the Vietnamese market with delicious Australian plums and formally launching in the upcoming season, starting from this November.”

ARIES (March
to
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Making bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup, just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. Meanwhile, a new relationship shows promise.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharing credit for a job well-done is easy for you to do, but this is not necessarily the case for your partner. But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indications should be dealt with before they become too burdensome.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations! A more positive aspect highlights much of the Virgo’s week. You should find others more receptive to your suggestions and more likely to act on them.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) All work and little play could wear down the Libra’s usually positive attitude. Take some much-needed time off. Perhaps a short jaunt with someone special is the way to go.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but they could ultimately be extremely satisfying.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Giving advice to those who just want validation for what they’re doing can be unsettling. So, back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but it also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially a certain someone.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Keeping the lines of communication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation to build an important and meaningful relationship. Stay with it.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perceptive Piscean talents to see what might lie hidden beneath the surface and possibly cause problems later on.

As part of St Mary’s Primary school Book Week celebrations last week, students have enjoyed participating in a hidden book hunt. A number of books were hidden in on the playground, with students encouraged to read and re-hide the books for others to discover.
YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL
Victoria Bragg was accepted through the early offer process into a flexible double degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science.
She was also selected as the Kim Jackson Scholar of 2025, and will receive $20,000 annually for five years, after successfully demonstrating her passion for renewable energy and environmental science in her video application.
Victoria’s dedication to her fields of study and the potential impact of her work were central to her receiving this substantial support.
In addition to the Kim Jackson Scholarship, she also secured the Joy Peters and Reena Walia Diversity Scholarship, which provides $8,000 for her first year.
This dual recognition highlights Victoria’s outstanding achievements and her commitment to making a positive contribution through her studies.
Congratulations Victoria, we are so proud of you.

YOUNG SHOW SOCIETY COMMITTEE
The first show in Young was held in 1871.
2021 marked 150 years since the running of the first Young Show, but it would not be the 150th Show. 2024 is the 150th Young Show.
There have been some years where the show was not able to be held.
Most notably 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Can anyone recall the other years the show was not held?
There were two shows held in 1930 - one held in April and the other in August/September.
The Young Showground is managed by the Young Showgroud Land Manager Board. The Board has the responsibility of keeping the buildings and grounds in order.
The grandstand, cattle pavilion, sheep pavilion, main pavilion, poultry pavilion and art hall - now the Men’s Shed - are all heritage
listed as locally significant buildings and therefore must be maintained.
The sheep pavilion has been dated back to being built possibly in the late 1890s, with additions added in the 1920s.
Over the years, the Young Showground has had many uses. Some of those uses were:
Athletics carnivals - the Land Manager Board has a photo of a carnival being held in 1912 Land Army Girls - there was a building over near the Pony Club grounds where they met regularly Cross Country running carnivals Army training bivouacs Cricket matches
If anyone has any written history or photos of the Young Showground and/or any events that have been held there that they are willing to share, please let the Young Show executive know. We will make copies and return them to you. Our history is an important part of who we are.
Just for fun this year the LPC 150th Young Show will be holding a Cosplay/ Dressup Competition.
Attendees are being invited to grab their best outfit and get into character on show day and show everyone what you’ve got.

Last line of defence also our secret weapon in attack!
Safe as bank under the high ball has defused many attacking raids!
This bloke is as casual as but when it’s time, he’s ready to rumble!
Starts our sets on the front foot, if it goes to him off the kick off there is no passing! Assistant Coach Assistant
Best season yet in the top grade, his running game is on point!
The voice behind the Pickers rise…always one to pull the boys back into line. Took the role of “Bad cop” so no-one would push in front of Gilesy in the canteen line!
Reads the play well, directs the boys around and has hit his form!
Leads by example and can score a try. When he doesn’t cross the try line, he’s in the canteen line!
The opposing team has nightmares about this guy, one to stay away from!
His defence in the middle has been awesome loves to get amongst it!
Leading try scorer has been solid on our edge, couple more tries in the GF won’t hurt!
The workhorse plays 80, doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff!
(Choc)
Worked his way into the starting the last couple of weeks, brings the sting in attack and defence that we need!
Mr Fix-It has played nearly everywhere this season, brings energy when he’s on the field!
(Kambos)
Has had an injury struck season but is back to his best. Brings the impact we need off the bench!
(Slats)
Oone of the best front rowers in the group when he comes on you know your gonna wake up sore!
Tough as nails and likes to get down and dirty!
(Chap)
Hots as hard in defence as he does the line in attack, his speed and ability to sniff out an opportunity is a huge asset to the team!
The brains behind the boys success, his training techniques and “David Middleton” like stats have been a huge asset to the Pickers this year. Don’t steal any of his highlighters or you’ll be doing Malcom’s!
Has made his mark since debuting in First Grade this year. A true workhorse in the middle that never shy’s from the hard yards!
y) (Selly)
Selly has given the Pickers over a decade of great service delivering messages and water, deserves a premiership as much as anyone. He may need to borrow Josh’s chair by the time he retires!
The guy that keeps everyone from falling apart. Without his hard work strapping our boys and his dedication to keeping everyone healthy and on the field, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Also bought shares in Elastoplast before the season started!
The mother of the club, always caring and attentive to anything the players require. She’s the glue that holds everyone together, and also requires as much strapping as a First Grader to run!

About our game of Croquet it is a game that may be played by someone as young as 10, but it is most suited by people in their senior years.
This is one of the few games that can be played by people in their 80s, and with our ageing population in Australia, its popularity is growing.
It can be played equally by men and women.
It is a game that provides moderate physical exercise with a fair amount of mental stimulation, it has been recommended by the heart foundation for its cardiovascular benefits.
The game involves skill in hitting a ball and tact to outwit the opponent, as each team tries to score more hoops than their opposition, but in a very civilised way.
It is often described as a nasty game played by nice people.
Croquet may be played competitively or socially.
The Young Club holds two carnivals a year, where players can test their skills against players from other clubs.
Croquet players tend to be intelligent, positive thinkers with a good sense of of humour. It is a very enjoyable game to play socially,=.
This brings us to the Young Croquet Club who always invites new players
to come along and join in on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays at 9am or Sundays at 1pm.
Mallets are available at the club. Phone 0418248670 for any inquiries.
This Sunday bought out sixteen players to enjoy the sunshine.
Visiting players last week were Jim and Lesley Zickefoose former members back in town visiting family, enjoying a game and meeting up with old friends.
Also Judy Honeyman from Maimuru - hope we see more of Judy.
Norma’s son Cameron from the Hawkesbury Region played on a few days while visiting Young.
On talking to the happy wandering, Graham and Edna have been missing for the winter months, but will be home for the carnival and the big 100 birthday celebrations.
A few players have entered the fun day at Cowra next week. Good luck to them.
As a matter of interest our players handicap system is from minus to ten.
Some of our top players are, Graham Innocent one, Sue Luckie two, Doug Leabeater three, Peter Druitt four, Ken Langton four, Reigh McCoy four, Edna Kelly five, Pat Nowlan five, Cheryl McInerney four.

Cato Advisory, a leading provider of agribusiness finance brokerage services in rural New South Wales, is proud to announce its upcoming Cato Advisory Charity Classic, a golf event in support of Boys to the Bush—a charity making a significant impact in the lives of young men in rural and regional Australia.
The event will take place on 19th September 2024 at Young Golf Club, bringing together key participants in the agribusiness banking sector to raise funds and awareness for this vital cause.
The Cato Advisory Charity Classic is set to be an annual industry and charitable event, with confirmed participation for the inaugural event from ANZ, CBA, Westpac, NAB, Bendigo Bank, and Judo Bank.
While Bank of
Queensland and Suncorp are unable to attend, their support for the cause remains steadfast.
Empowering young men in rural communities Boys to the Bush helps young men facing tough circumstances by offering them opportunities to build resilience, gain practical life skills, and foster positive relationships through hands-on experiences in rural environments.
The charity’s work is instrumental in addressing social issues such as disengagement, isolation, and the need for strong male role models in regional communities.
“The Cato Advisory Charity Classic aims to bring the rural finance industry together to support young boys with fewer opportunities,” Managing Director of Cato Advisory
Tim Findlay said.
“Through the Cato Advisory Charity Classic, we’re giving back to the community that has supported us over the years.
“Boys to the Bush represents the resilience and sense of community that we believe in, and we’re proud to support their incredible work.”
Supporting Regional Agribusiness The Cato Advisory Charity Classic has garnered strong support from banks deeply involved in NSW agribusiness.
Their involvement underscores their commitment not only to regional economies but also to the wellbeing and future of rural communities.
Golfers will enjoy 18 holes of friendly competition, split by a networking lunch and presentation from local representatives of Boys to the Bush.
Due to the inclement weather the Thursday comp was not played. A few of the boys had a hit themselves.
Lindsay Sheather was Tuesday’s winner with 30 nett on a countback from Nigel Willett on 30 nett.
Birdies went to Lindsay, Nigel and Garry Cummins with each one.
Gobbles - Lindsay, Garry Cummins, Vera McMillan and Kay Jasprizza one each. Sunday was a stroke event with the least putts. Thadem Davies was first with 53 nett, next best Rod Pratt 56 nett.
Thadem won the least putts with 26 putts. Runner up Geoff Nott 27 putts. Sponsor of the week was Patterson Brothers Funerals. VERA MCMILLAN
It wasn’t to be for the Young Cherrypickers Reserve Grade side who went down to the Gundagai Tigers in Albury on the weekend in the Group 9 Preliminary Final.
Despite an early try from Matthew Murray, the Pickers couldn’t keep the Tigers out with Gundagai now heading through to the Grand Final this weekend after beating the Reggies 36-4.
It had been a big couple of weeks for the Reggies who had defeated the Wagga Kangaroos at Anzac Park in Gundagai on Saturday September 7 in the minor semi final and had beaten the Albury Thunder at Nixon Park in Temora on Sunday September 1.
The Reggies had wrapped up the normal season second on the ladder behind the Tigers with 12 wins and four losses out of the 16 rounds.
Charlie Corcoran came
fifth on the top tries list for Group 9 with 10 while Billy Corcoran was in sixth with 8.
Matt Murray was fifth on the top points list for Group 9 with 98.
It was a fantastic season for the boys who had some great games under their belt and will be looking to go all the way in 2025.
Now this weekend all eyes will turn to The Cherrypickers First Grade side who are playing the Wagga Kangaroos in the grand final at McDonalds Park this Sunday.
Locals are being encouraged by the Club to get behind the boys and decorate the town and make the trip to Wagga to watch the game.
For those who can’t make it to the match, the Young Services Club and The Australian Hotel will be broadcasting the game with kick off at 2.35pm on Sunday. The

The 2024 Hawk Awards Night was a celebration of remarkable talent, dedication and achievement across both the Hawks and Hawkettes teams.
Luke Brown, named names Hawks Best and Fairest, also took home the prestigious Reg Cullen Senior Player of the Year, while Jack Nicolls was named RunnerUp Best and Fairest as well as being honored as the Paul Potts Memorial Future Rising Star, a promising sign for the club’s future.
Georgia Smith earned the title of Hawkettes Best and Fairest, with Eliza Butt as Runner-Up.
The Coaches’ Awards went to Josh Coade for the Hawks and Jade Emms for the Hawkettes, recognizing their consistent efforts and leadership throughout the season. Defensive prowess was highlighted with Jayden Cutting named Hawks Best Back and Jas Chesworth the Hawkettes Best Back. In attack, DJ Slater and Bell Baker were recognized as the Best Forwards for their respective teams.
The Snowy Apps Memorial Award for Best Defender was awarded to Patrick
Smith, acknowledging his vital role in the Hawks’ defense. Additionally, Austin Power was celebrated as the Hawks Player of the Finals, while Emma James and Clare Smith shared the honor for the Hawkettes.
The Matthew Brown Memorial for Dedication and Commitment recognized Olivia Doolan and Drew Arabin for their tireless efforts.
The Players’ Player awards, a true testament to peer recognition, went to
William Hills for the Hawks and Clare Smith for the Hawkettes.
Steele Rudd and Kate Menz were named the Most Consistent Players, demonstrating their reliability week in and week out.
Emma James, a standout all season, was awarded the John Shea Memorial for Best All Rounder, while Nick Hall was named Clubperson of the Year, earning the Ted Argeart Memorial Award.
While the focus of the evening was on individual and team accolades, it was impossible not to briefly reflect on the Hawket tes’ stunning 2024 premiership win.
Under the guidance of coach Jason Pollard, whose leadership has delivered multiple titles, the team’s success is a testament to their resilience and spirit, with Simon Doolan’s motivational speeches providing the crucial edge.
Veteran player Emma James was once again acknowledged for her outstanding contribution, winning Best on Ground in the Grand Final, adding another highlight to a stellar career.
The 2024 Hawks Awards Night was not only a celebration of achievement but a fitting conclusion to a season marked by hard work, camaraderie, and unwavering dedication across the club.

Six individuals and the First Grade Cherrypickers have been acknowledged at the Group 9 Awards held last week in Wagga.
Jamila Piercy was presented with the first ever Best and Fairest for Women’s Tackle after what had been a cracking season for the Cherrybombs after the introduction of the new game format.
“Our season was unreal,” Piercy told Schultzy Sports on Facebook. “To be part of the
first Rugby League team, especially with the Cherrypickers who are first in Group 9 was really fun.
“It was good when we had nine-a-side in the teams, to get used to it. We’ve played 11-aside some of the games, but it was just unreal.”
Though there was no official ladder for the Women’s Tackle teams, locals got behind the introduction of the addition and have been supporting it strongly throughout the season.
“Just come give it a go,” Piercy said. “Come to training, we always say you never get hurt when you’re getting tackled, it’s when your tackling.
“So come practice, that’s the biggest thing.”
First Grade super coach Tom Giles was presented with the 2024 Group 9 Minor Premiership trophy on the night with the side ready and raring to tackle whoever is the winner of the preliminary final this weekend between the Temora
Dragons and the Wagga Kangaroos.
Donna Dal Molin was awarded the 2024 Group 9 Individual Club Volunteer of the Year award for her hard work and dedication within many facets of the Pickers. The Club has congratulated and thanked Donna for everything with her holding two positions within the Club for the 2024 season as Club Secretary and Sports Trainer.
“Thoroughly deserved for
all the time, dedication, hard work and passion you have for our wonderful club, we are all the better for you,” the Club said.
Hardy Glover in the Under 18s wrapped up his season with the Club by being awarded the Under 18s Weissel Medal for Best and Fairest player within the Group 9 competition.
Glover had an outstanding season with the club who has wished him all the best on his
future with the Canberra Raiders.
“Well done mate and we wish you all the very best for your next journey with the Raiders,” the Club said. There were three Cherrypickers who were named in the 2024 Group 9 Team of the Year with Tom Demeio, Boro Navori and Tom Giles named in the line up. The Club said the acknowledgement in the Team of the Year was an ‘outstanding reward’ for their hard work.
Brian Ingram, Neil Langford, Jake Davis and Alison Foreman from Young and Matthew Stadtmiller from Cunningar have reached enough votes in the Hilltops Local Government election to be re-elected to Council for the next four years.
At the time of going to print there were still just under 3,500 first preference votes still to be counted in the Hilltops Local Government Election with, 11,135 first preference votes out of 14,584 locals enrolled to vote. With a progressive quota of 855 first preference votes Brian Ingram, Neil Langford, Matthew Stadtmiller, Jake Davis and Alison Foreman have enough votes to be elected on to the new Hilltops Shire Council.
James Blackwell and Jo Mackay from Boorowa were in the top 11 first preference votes at the time of going to print.
There was an informal vote rate of
7.92 percent with 882 ballots declared as being informal, meaning they are unclear, not marked correctly or unmarked all together.
At the time of going to print the top 11 vote counts sat at:
Brian Ingram - 1666 with 16.25 percent of the formal vote
Neil Langford - 1520 with 14.82 percent of the formal vote
Matthew Stadtmiller - 1153 with 11.25 percent of the formal vote
Jake Davis - 915 with 8.92 percent of the formal vote
Alison Foreman - 887 with 8.65 percent of the formal vote

Mary Dodd - 441 with 4.30 percent of the formal vote
Abdullah Sultan - 404 with 3.91 percent of the formal vote
Michelle Gallo - 380 with 3.71 percent of the formal vote
Following the conclusion of the initial first preference count ballots will undergo a second count, which is known as a Check Count, this is the official count to determine the elected candidates.
Preferences from ballot papers will be entered into the NSW Electoral Commission computer count system which will determine the formality of each ballot paper based on the preferences entered.
The distribution of preferences is performed by the computer count system to determine the elected candidates.
In Hilltops the Proportional Representation System is used when allocating preferences. This means if a candidate is elected if they receive
votes equal to or exceeding the quota. After the count of first preferences is complete, each candidate who has reached quota is elected.
Where an elected candidate has a surplus of ballot papers over the quota, the surplus is transferred to the candidates who are not yet elected or excluded. If multiple candidates are elected, as is the case in Hilltops, each candidate’s surplus is transferred to the continuing candidates, from the highest surplus to the lowest.
After each transfer, if any more candidates have reached quota, they are elected and added to the queue of surpluses to be transferred, this continues until all have been transferred.
This process continues until all positions are filled or until all remaining vacancies can be filled by candidates whose total votes cannot be overtaken by the remaining candidates in the count.

N Tell) gained their Grand National ticket in her first off the lead show.
It has been a very successful year for Boorowa locals Liz Gregory, her daughter Matilda and their team of ponies who have just cleaned up at both the ACT and Southern NSW Show Horse Championships and the NSW Horse of the Year.
Liz and Matilda work with Emma Rayner of Emerald Equestrian in Bungendore and the very talented riders Indy and Pip Gardiner with five year
old Matilda now stepping up to compete in off-the-lead classes, however, the ponies Buzz and Bugzie, Korawyn Show N Tell and Ripple Brook Jitterbug, have been absolute superstars for the team.
Matilda gained a Show Horse Council of Australasia ticket after coming in as runner up in her rider class on Buzz in her first ever show off the lead earlier this month at the ACT and
Southern NSW Show Horse Championships at EPIC in Canberra.
At the Pacific Coast Hack Championships back in August Buzz - Korawyn Show N Tell secured his place to compete at Grand Nationals with Pip in the saddle.
Last weekend Liz, Matilda and the team attended the Equestrian NSW Horse of the Year where Bugzie was award-
ed Champion Child’s Small Hunter Pony, Champion Open Small Hunter Pony and Runner Up Leading Rein Hunter Pony, meaning the cute little grey will now be representing NSW in the Equestrian Australian Nationals.
“To say we are absolutely thrilled is an understatement,” Liz said.
“What a show we had. We are off to Nationals.”
Indy Gardiner rode the adorable Bugzie (Ripple Brook Jitterbug) to win the Champion in what was a hotly contested class with the best of the best from across the state vying for the chance to win a spot at The Nationals.
“Cannot thank super jockey, Indy Gardiner enough for riding him so beautifully,” Liz said.
Liz is extremely grateful to
Emma and the Gardiner’s for all of their help with the ponies and with Matilda.
“Thank you to Emma Rayner for all the hard work she has put into Bugzie these last few months and leading Matilda in the leading rein,” Liz said.
“Thank you to the committee, sponsors and volunteers for a wonderful, well run show.”
TODAY marks the return of Harden and Murrumburrah’s historic local newspaperHarden Murrumburrah Express.
With a long history of over 140 years, the mastheads amalgamated in 1947 but ceased publication April 9, 2020 with the onset of COVID as a printed newspaper.
Following the recent purchase of The Express from Australian Community Media, we are proud to take on the mantle of the masthead. It will be produced by our publishing company Mid West Media along with other Hilltops mastheads.
Having published country newspapers as a family business for over 100 years, we have an acute appreciation of how important a local newspaper is for its community.
Our company believes it runs newspapers in trust for the communities they serve, based on standards set through membership of Country Press New South Wales and Australian Press Council.
Serving Hilltops neighbouring towns newspapers since May 2023, we remain impressed with the region, its development and identity as a leading regional shire and place to live.
Our plan is to deliver local news and information shire wide under the trusted banners of the Harden Murrumburrah Express, Young Witness and
Boorowa News.
The Express will feature its own dedicated front page, championing major local stories, and back page focused on sporting stories from the twin towns.
The core of the paper will consist of a range of stories from the Hilltops region, emanating from larger towns to smaller hamlets.
We are under no illusion about the publishing challenges faced in maintaining and further developing newspapers, chronicling current times and the history of these progressive centres.
Working with the local community will involve a focus on contributed news and information, and ensuring space is provided for letters to the editor, community organisation news, schools’ updates, sports and the arts.
Our committed team of journalists and advertising consultants look forward to engaging with the twin towns communities.
Today’s Express is FREE and will remain so for two more weeks before a cover charge applies.

Tommie Parker, Lexie Klein and Emma Karston from Harden Pony Club competed at the NSW State Pony Club Showjumping and Equitation Championships representing Zone 2 at the start of the month with all bringing home some fantastic results.
In the three rounds of the Jumping Equitation Tommie came fifth overall in the 13 and Under 15 age group Championship after placing
third, eighth and eighth.
Though Emma didn’t bring home a ribbon she placed 13th, 15th and 16th in what were some huge classes at her first ever State Championship with a horse that she has only been on for a relatively short amount of time.
Lexie didn’t compete in the equitation portion of the competition, however in the three rounds of showjumping in the 13 and Under 15 B Grade she placed fourth, sev-
enth and eighth.
In the huge C Grade 15 and Under 17 rounds Emma came in 13th, 14th and 16th while Tommie finished fourth overall in the 13 and Under 15 B Grade with a third, fourth and eighth.
“What a weekend for our Zone 2 team,” Zone 2 president Antonia Brown said.
“Congratulations on all your hard work.
“Well done on great teamwork and being wonderful
ambassadors for Zone 2.”
As a huge bonus for the Zone 2 team they were lucky enough to meet former pony cluber and current Olympian Shane Rose during the event, taking the time out of his very busy schedule, having just competed at Versaille, to spend some time with Tommie, Emma and Lexie and fellow Zone 2 members Ellie Whittaker from Bribbaree Pony Club and Pheobe Apps from Young Pony Club.
“I think the highlight of the weekend was meeting Shane Rose,” Antonia said.
“We are all very proud of you, well done to you and your super grooms.”
Last weekend Tommie competed in the Equestrian Australia ACT National Capital Horse Trials in the EvA 80. Eventing is combination of dressage, showjumping and cross country with the rider with the lowest score or number of penalties being
the winner.
Tommie was in a huge and very competitive field for the two days of competition and ended up coming home with the win beating out adults and other junior riders. The most recent win is another feather in the Harden rider’s cap having already had a massive year in the saddle.
Be sure to follow Harden Pony Club on Facebook to find out what they have coming up.
