Paint the Hilltops Purple
Organised by Hilltops Against Family and Domestic Violence, the event raises awareness and encourages community members to help change the record on domestic and family violence, by donning purple clothes, and adding purple items to shopfronts, homes, and more.
“Domestic violence is a devastating issue that affects individuals and fami-
day, a community-led initiative, is an important step in our fight for greater access to family supports, crisis accommodation and long-term care to help prevent violence and keep people safe.”
Young Crisis Accommodation Centre (YCAC) and Margaret House Refuge are two organisations firmly on the front lines of what is a crisis of violence in our communi-
services to more members of the community.
“Tragically, the Hilltops region has one of the highest levels of domestic-violence related assaults across SouthEastern New South Wales,” Ms Cooke said.
“The work of YCAC and Margaret House Refuge and their team of volunteers are truly saving lives.

Ms Cooke added that further funding was needed to meet the growing need of emergency assistance and crisis accommodation providers like YCAC and Margaret House, with plenty work still needing to be done to provide urgent housing so-

Battle lines are drawn over Wallendbeen bridge
The Wallendbeen owners of a horse stud are ramping up their battle against the state government over a road project they claim has caused their business to lose more than $1 million and rendered it inoperable for months.
Kinloch Equine Australian Horse Stud has been in ‘limbo’ since February 2024 as it deals with ongoing disruptions due to the construction of a new highway bridge over the railway corridor adjacent to their property.
Transport for NSW is working on the new structure a er the previous one collapsed in 2021.
Stud owners Andrew and Emma Sheridan moved to the Wallendbeen property about the time of the bridge collapse.
In October 2021, a temporary one lane bridge was put in place to allow tra c to continue travelling on the major Gri th-Canberra thoroughfare.
However, more than three years later, the town is still waiting on a two lane replacement bridge.
Subsequent planning has also meant the highway will follow a new route onto the Sheridan’s property, requiring the acquisition of some land.
The couple held their Kinloch Wallendbeen Char-
ity Campdraft in February this year, however, said they have since been unable to operate, after three independent experts rule it was ‘unsafe’ for their business to do so under the circumstances.
The ongoing issues with the bridge project have cost the young family more than $150,000 in legal fees, they said, and their business is facing a projected loss of more than $1 million, not to mention animal injuries and the cancellation of the 2025 Charity Campdraft they run annually.
The charity event rst ran in February 2023 and attracted more than 300 competitors to the small community.
It is also a big fundraiser for the Cootamundra Rugby Club, the Harden Murrumburrah Lighthorse group and others.
In March 2023, a horse was injured ‘as a direct result of pile driving’ starting with no prior communication from TfNSW, the Sheridans said.
This was despite the understanding they would be given six weeks notice before any construction began.
The couple said their stud business was now ‘in ruins’ as a result of ongoing uncertainty around the reconstruction of
the Burley Griffin Way bridge.
While they have been in constant and frequent communication with TfNSW, the couple said their efforts have ‘largely fallen on deaf ears.’
Mr Sheridan said the bridge had been set for completion in February 2024, but that it did not happen and he was now no longer sure when the project will nally wrap up.
The Sheridans have been in contact with NSW Transport Minister Jenny Sitchison and Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke to see action taken to resolve the issue.
Mr Sheridan said TfNSW had promised an independent equine report would be provided to him by the agency on the issue.
However, the report has not been released and Mr Sheridan expressed disappointment in Ms Cooke for not doing more to hold the government to account.
“[She] needs to hold the minister [for transport] accountable, given ‘taxpayers have gone and paid for the equine evaluation,’” Mr Sheridan said.
He believed the report was the ‘one thing that would save the campdraft,’ and is now stepping up pressure on the state government in the hope to introduce it in the Parlia-
ment.
In response to the criticism, Ms Cooke said she will ‘always make representations to the appropriate ministers on behalf of constituents’ across her electorate.
She said she has done so on multiple occasions for the Sheridans.
“In the case of the Wallendbeen Bridge, this advocacy has included holding two community meetings, to hear concerns raised by road users and make formal representation on behalf of residents to the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison’s office and to Transport for NSW,” Ms Cooke said.
“I have further taken Minister Aitchison to the site of the new bridge, to better understand its impacts on our rural communities.”
A TfNSW spokesperson said the agency was ‘aware of concerns from members of the community about the impact of essential bridge work at Wallendbeen.”
Neither Ms Cooke nor TfNSW commented on the equine report.

This stunning picture was taken Friday evening as they celebrated the end of their schooling in style at their graduation ceremony.
Hilltops Councillor Column
When I was rst elected as one of your Councillors only two months ago, there were many who o ered congratulations.
It’s a privilege to represent the community, and brave to run for o ce.
There were also many people who o ered commiserations at having succeeded.
Now, the real work begins, and challenges start to unfold.
There are the things that the people of Boorowa, where I live, have elected me to champion, with the Boorowa-Harden water pipe-
line being chief among them. As a concept, it is something that’s been proposed since at least the late 1930s.
I am not the rst Councillor, nor will I likely be the last, to raise this issue.
But I do hope that during the next 4 years, we can get shovels in the ground - even if it is us Councillors digging the trenches (imagine that!).
Then there are up-andcoming issues, such as the Boorowa-Galong Rail Trail, waste and tip charges, reforming the development process, and engaging our youth, that I want to bring at-
tention to.
Being a champion not just for Boorowa and our small villages, but the whole of Hilltops, is a key principle of my time as your Councillor.
For myself, there is also an extra layer of pride and burden.
I am the rst Wiradyuri person to be elected to Hilltops Council, quite possibility the rst Indigenous person to represent Boorowa, Harden, or Young, even under the previous Councils.
To be the rst Indigenous person means charting a course no one else has be-
fore me.
Acknowledging and being proud of who I am as a Wiradyuri man, and celebrating the continued culture of the Wiradyuri and Ngunnawal peoples, whose lands make up Hilltops, is something close to my heart, and something I will bring to the forefront of Council.
It makes Hilltops a more inclusive, open, and welcoming place if we can not only acknowledge and celebrate those who have come here, but also those who were here before.
I have been pleasantly sur-
prised so far as to the level of cooperation and camaraderie developing between the current Councillors. Our Mayor and Deputy Mayor are experienced, knowledgeable, and engaged.
The other Councillors bring a wide range of expertise and lived experience.
We are doing well to work together, plan together, and govern together - and doing so with respect.
I hope we can keep it that way. It’s in your interests that we do.
Councillor James Blackwell
Young Historical Society: Making butter pays
Butter moulds and stamps were popular during the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain, being used to create attractive table decorations in private homes and to identify farm produce for sale.
Una Jessie Bell née Bailey donated these decorated butter stamps to the Young Historical Museum in the 1960s.
Butter stamps are made of a close-grained hardwood, such as lime, holly or sycamore.
The pictured butter stamps were a two-piece ‘ejector’ stamp, where the design was on the disc of wood with a handle. This pushed the butter out of a cylinder of wood. The decoration was carved into the stamp in reverse, so it would come out the correct way around when the butter was turned out onto a cab-
bage leaf for wrapping, or straight onto a butter dish.
Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management, of 1861, was a guide to running a household in Victorian Britain.
The editor, Isabella Beeton, noted that: ‘Butter may be shaped without the aid of moulds, but round butter moulds or wooden stamps are much used and are made in a variety of patterns. They should be kept scrupulously clean and, before the butter is pressed in, the moulds should be scalded, and a erwards soaked well in cold water. The butter at once takes the impress of the mould,
and may therefore be turnout immediately into the butter dish’.
Una, when she donated these butter stamps, said they belonged to her greatgrandmother.
One possible candidate in her family tree is Ellen Delmich or Delwich (18121884), who was born in Cork, Ireland, and arrived in Port Phillip on the ship James Pattinson as a free settler on Thursday 11th February 1836. Later that year, she married Samuel Taylor at Sutton Forest.
Ellen died, aged 71, in Bungendore.
Butter was primarily made
by women in the home until the 1880s in Ireland.
It was o en sold directly by its maker to her neighbours, or on the streets in open markets, or sometimes sold to regulated city butter markets, such as the Cork Butter Market which exported butter all over the world between the 1770s and 1925.
Making and selling butter may have given Ellen enough income to emigrate to Australia on her own.
Butter-making was o en passed down in families.
Samuel and Ellen’s daughter, Charlotte, married George Stanley Bailey in 1864.
They lived at Lake George before selecting land at Thuddungra in 1883.
Charlotte died, aged 94, in Young in 1933. Her son, Samuel George Bailey, married Catherine Howell in 1904.
‘Mrs S. Bailey’ (Catherine) was awarded for her ‘keg butter or salted butter for keeping’ at the 1924 Young Pastoral and Agricultural Association Show and was awarded again in 1928. Catherine was Una’s mother. Karen SchambergerYoung Historical Society.

Sarah has more than 20 years creative industry experience in graphic design and photography, she has made a name for herself as an award winning wedding and portrait photographer with a genuine
love of her craft.
The Will Sibley Memorial Trophy is in memory of William John Sibley who was a very special little boy who was the son of Tony and Jane Sibley.
Jane was the Young Camera Club treasurer and Will was born just after the commencement of the Club and became a very important member, mascot and child to all.
He attended every meeting and every lecture and was a special photographic model, making the member’s bad days better with a smile, a giggle or a hug.
Will died in a tragic accident at the age of 18 months of age. The trophy is a memorial to him, the Club’s ‘Little ray of sunshine,’ and the Club thanks him for all the joy he brought in his short life.
The Helen Berridge Memorial Award is in memory of a wonderful club member and friend for 14 years.
Helen had a passion for life and in her book if you took on a task you did it well, with a minimum of fuss.
She was a very active lady who enjoyed her golf, garden and bush walking and in her quiet moments she enjoyed embroidery and quilting.
Helen’s legacy to the Club was a job worth doing is worth doing well.
Helen taught the members it was never too late to learn, taking up photography in her latter years, she taught the members to live every moment and make every day count.
She was a unique charac-
ter and in the award the club hopes that the winners take home some of her inspiration.
The John van Rijswijk Memorial Award is in memory of John who passed away in 2021. John was a stalwart member and secretary/treasurer of the Club since 2012.
John retired to Young in 2011 after a long teaching career.
He soon decided retiring fully wasn’t for him, and so continued to work as a substitute teacher and working with his leadlighting and his photography.
He worked tirelessly in his role in the Camera Club, not just in the running of the exhibitions, but all facets of the Club.
He particularly enjoyed encouraging his young students to enter and enjoy their photography.
John always held the belief; you could achieve anything if you tried. The Club thanks the wonderful families and friends who continue to support the Young Camera Club and its members.
“Without their support and patience an exhibition of this size would not be possible,” the Club said.
“Once again a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors, without their support we would not be able to present our annual Cherry Festival Photographic Competition and Exhibition each year.”
The Exhibition is open until Sunday December 1 at the Young Services Club between 10am and 2pm. Entry is $2.

Locals soak up lesson with a legend
Local riders flocked to the Harden Horse Trials grounds at the Harden Murrumburrah Showground on Friday and Saturday last week to take part in a two day clinic with the British equestrian legend, Lucinda Green.
The masterclasses focused on control, understanding their horses and of course jumping with confidence.
Horses and riders alike soaked up the knowledge the 71 year old imparted on them as she made the trip from England to Harden.

Our Mixed Pairs were run over the weekend and quite a few bowlers struggled with the heat Saturday afternoon so the committee made the decision to only
play the 2 games on Sunday morning and we cancelled the 6th game due to extreme heat, a popular decision.
Tournament was won by local couple Russell and Lisa Boyd with 5 wins + 51
Second Place John and Kate Cooper 5 wins + 37 also from Young and Third Place went to Alan Schirmer and Lorraine Williams from West Wyalong with 4 wins + 39

The winners of the June Brown Memorial Trophy for best local team not already in prizemoney
Went to Dianne Peisley and George Somerville with 4 wins + 22.
Our Young ladies can be very proud of their efforts in the running of these two tournaments and other than the hiccups with the hot weather over the weekend when we had to find bowlers from elsewhere to help us out in completing the mixed pairs all went off smoothly.
Thank you to Hussy’s Kitchen at The Sporties for our meals on all four days. Thank you to all bar staff for keeping us all hydrated.
Congratulations to all 100 hundred club and raffle winners.

YPS come third in the state
The YPS girls’ cricket team competed in the state finals last Wednesday.
The girls and their families all supported the Paint the School Purple Day back at school by buying and wearing purple ribbons.
The day started with our semi-final against Artarmon Public School.
Young bowled and fielded well, holding Artarmon to 110 runs in their 25 overs.
Wickets were taken by Mackenzie (2/13 off 5 overs), Matilda (1/16) and Eliza (1/16 plus two catches).
Unfortunately, Artamon’s bowling was too strong and we were all out for 56.
Despite the result, our girls should be very proud of their efforts against a very impressive Sydney team.
After lunch, in the play-off for third place, Young played Wellington Public School.
YPS batted strongly finishing 3/175 after 25 overs.
Top scorers were Scarlett (retired 40 not out off 37 balls), Matilda 24 and Sybil, who
carried her bat (batted the whole innings) in hot conditions for 39 not out.
In reply, Wellington was only able to make 92 in their 25 overs.
Wicket takers were Eliza (2/18 off four overs) and Matilda (1/13 off 2).
Mackenzie was also impressive with 0/10 off 5 overs.
Huge congratulations to the YPS girls for placing 3rd overall in the state.
It is a remarkable achievement being only the second year we have entered a team in the competition.
All the girls showed outstanding enthusiasm and sportsmanship.
Thank you to families and friends for their ongoing support throughout the season, and in Bathurst in particular.
Big thanks to in-school coach, Mr Scelly, game-day coach and umpire Daniel Woods, and our fabulous scorers Monique Woodward and Jenny Platt.

Marg steps down from Zone 2
Pony Club Zone 2 Chief Instructor Marg Pestell stepped down from the position last Friday, handing the reins over to Kylie Reeves from Canowindra Pony Club.

committee around her, Young Pony Club would not own their grounds, have a covered arena or the Clubhouse,” Antonia said.
Those Clubs include Harden, Boorowa, Young, Canowindra and Grenfell.
“Something we call all learn from and work towards.”
Zone 2 President Antonia Brown has paid tribute to the stalwart of Harden and Young Pony Club’s and one of the founding members of the Harden Horse Trials committee as she farewells a position she has held since 1986.
Marg started her Pony Club journey in the 1940s when they signed up with Young Horse and Pony Club, which then went on to became Young Pony Club.
She rode at her rst Pony Club Camp in 1948 and has been at almost every camp since, only missing out due to illness and that the hospital wouldn’t let her leave.
“She has been a rider, matron, camp commandant,
“My rst personal memory of Mrs Pestell was at Young Pony Club Camp in the early 1970s, where I distinctly remember her encouragement to ‘try not to fall o all day’, I was about ve.”
Marg has been described as the Zone Chief Instructor who always had everyone’s safety and welfare in mind, not matter how much they may not like it.
“She is the sensible one and the one who makes the hard decisions and enforces them,” Antonia said.
Marg has been attributed with being a part of the driving force of ensuring the security and success of Young Pony Club.
“If not for Marg and the
“There are not many Clubs in NSW with the facilities Young Pony Club have, and that is in no small part due to Marg’s determination and foresight to make this happen, in campaigning for approvals, design, fundraising and general, bloody, hard work.”
“Prior to her time as Zone Chief Instructor, Marg was a zone representative since the inception of Pony Club,” Antonia said.
For around 50 years Marg has been the Zone 2 rep to Pony Club NSW.
“No one can verify the exact year Marg began, but no one can remember her not being there,” Antonia said.
mentor for the Young Rodeo and a founding member of the Young Riding for the Disabled (RDA) and its first president back in 1981.
Marg was president of Young Pony Club between 1979 and 1981 and then again between 1989 and 2004. She went on to be Chief Instructor of Young Pony Club between 1985 and 2005 and became the Zone 2 Chief Instructor in 1986.
“That’s 38 years of tireless and sel ess contribution to all the clubs in Zone 2,” Antonia said.
“Marg is the sensible sounding board, not one to rush to conclusions, she knows the rules and has administered them with grace and determination.”
Over the years Marg has attended hundreds of events, rally days, hundreds of riders have been graded and tested by her, o en children and grandchildren of riders she instructed in the early years.
“Not once have I heard Marg yell, scream or get cross at anyone, however, she gets her point across politely and firmly, leaving no one in doubt of her meaning,” Antonia said.
“Included in this was a number of years on the State executive in the early 2000s.
“Marg’s contribution to Pony Club State Level includes attending countless state events over the years as Chief Gear Checker, scorer, TD, supporter and a good person to have around.”
On top of her contribution to Pony Club and the Harden Horse Trials, for which she has received the inaugural Eventing NSW Award of Recognition for her contribution to eventing in 2010, she has been a
“Not surprisingly, Marg received an OAM in 2006 for service to equestrian sport, particularly Young Pony Club,” Antonia said.
“Marg was Young Australia Day Citizen of the Year in 2003.”
Locals have paid tribute to the amazing and patient horsewoman for her service throughout the years.
“I’m not sure what came rst, the chicken or the egg, but rest assured Marg was there rst and probably mentored both,” Antonia said.
“Marg, I acknowledge you, I respect you, I thank you and I hope to keep seeing you at Pony Club events in Zone 2.
“We are richer for having you in our lives.”
