COMPETITION CLOSES MONDAY 23RD OCTOBER Greg Gibson with the awards and his winning olive products.
Of ‘Olive’ The Rest Gibson’s The Best
The owners of Gibson’s Grove Olives just outside Forbes have been nurturing their olives with love and care for the past 21 years. This devotion did not go unnoticed as the Manzanillo Hand Picked Olives of Greg and Clare Gibson have been named the Champion Olive product and won gold at the 2017 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show. With 180 entries in the olive oil and olive section, the Gibson’s Grove products were a stand out also being awarded silver for both their Paragon and Corregiolla olive oil and their Ligurian style table olives. Entering for the seventh year, it is the third time that the Gibson’s have won the champion product with the same olives. Gibson’s Grove Olives have 2,000 olive
trees and produce about three different varieties. They bottle, cask and tin their oil on the property and cover an extensive boutique market. They supply from Forbes right through to Sydney including major hotels, restaurants and Qantas. Explaining why Gibson’s Grove Olives are so successful, Greg said: “We are a small boutique operation and can keep more control of produce. We do products naturally and don’t use caustic soda. My wife and I do all the sorting ourselves.” With their friendly farming, care for the country side and hard work this husband and wife duo have grown their business into a nationally recognised award winning product.

MAYORAL NOTES On Tuesday I attended the certificate presentation for the mock crash which was run by Council’s Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Melanie Suitor. The certificates were presented to those who contributed to the day including the actors and emergency services personnel. Several high schools from across the Forbes, Parkes and Condobolin region took part in the mock crash, which plays a pivotal role in teaching our children to become safer drivers and educating them about the potential dangers they face on our roads. The mock crash is a vital activity and one which Council is proud to play a part in. Vanfest organiser Matt Clifton has been recognised by his peers for his leadership in the events and hospitality industry after winning a category in the Australia Hotels Association Excellence Awards. This is a further recognition of how lucky we are to have Matt as our Event Manager. On Wednesday a number of Councillors and I conducted a tour of the pool and met the new pool operators.

Young Stars Entertain Forbes Two young musicians are the stars of the concert by the Macquarie Symphony Orchestra at the Town Hall in Forbes on Saturday, 21st October. One of the world’s favourite concertos, the Mozart Clarinet concerto, will be performed by Sandra Ismail, the winner of the Camplin Prize in the inaugural Macquarie Philharmonia Concerto competition. “It is an opportunity of a life time and I will have to be fully prepared technically and mentally. It will be very special for me to perform a concerto with the Macquarie Symphony Orchestra because I grew up listening and playing in the orchestra as a student,” Sandra said. Lucy Clarke-Randazzo, the Thompson
Concerto prize winner, will play the dazzling violin concerto by Kabalevsky. She says she has been practicing Kabalevsky’s violin concerto for about 12 months and has never played it with an orchestra. “I will love this opportunity as it is one of my favourite pieces and to experience being accompanied by a full orchestra will be so exciting and a great musical experience for me as I develop my ensemble skills”. The concert begins at 7pm with canapés being served at 6pm. Tickets are available on line at www.eventbrite.com.au ($30 adults, $25 concession, children under 18 free) and at Forbes Shire Council. Tickets for the canapés ($20) must be bought separately.

The Lions Are At It Again Members of the Forbes and District Lions Club are working on another project in Forbes. The local Lions Club have decided to update the small Lions Park area near Jefferies Toyota. The park is prominent on the entrance to town and the refurbishment will complement the beautification work Forbes Shire Council is doing at the moment. Last Monday a start was made by planting two new roses and replacing one of the lion statues. Also planned, is the refurbishment of the map board with a new updated map and lighting, and a new sheltered table and seating to allow people a break from the summer heat or winter rains.

Vanfest Event Manager Wins Industry Award Vanfest coordinator Matt Clifton has collected a major industry award after claiming the national Rising Star category at the Australian Hotels Association Excellence Awards last month. The award is the latest in a long list of accolades, which also includes the 2016 NSW Business Chamber Young Entrepreneur Award. Forbes will benefit from Matt’s 12 years’ experience in hospitality and event management, which will be evident in the execution of Vanfest 2017. “This recent award cements Matt’s reputation as a forward thinking specialist in this
industry and this national acknowledgment will have flow on effects to Forbes’ reputation,” Forbes Shire Council’s General Manager Maxwell Kershaw said. Matt intends to build a festival that offers a unique experience that is both authentic to the rural setting and will draw national attention to Forbes as a destination. Maxwell said Vanfest ticket sales have continued their strong trend. “So far 3455 weekend passes have been sold. In addition all local accommodation is now booked. These are just two small examples of the economic benefits that will flow to Forbes from Vanfest,” he said.
Health Smart Avoiding Muscle And Joint Pain Now that the days are getting longer and warmer, we tend to take on more chores in and around our homes. Extra gardening, dusting off the cobwebs, window cleaning, spring cleaning and preparation for Christmas becomes an added part to our day. Long and extended activity that has not formed part of our usual routine may lead to a lot of muscle and joint pain. To avoid these unwanted muscle and joint pains it is important to take precautions prior to doing these jobs. Start by stretching your arms and legs.
Take regular breaks and walk around a little. Combined with drinking enough water, sore limbs and other injuries may be eliminated. These allow our body to resume its normal posture. Planning ahead by doing a little extra each day will also enable you to get the task done with much less pain. Remember, the quicker you receive massage therapy the quicker the recovery time.

Marriage Celebrants With the topic of marriage currently in the news, the question may arise: “How do I become a marriage celebrant?” It is not that simple... You need to become qualified and become an authorised celebrant under Part IV of the Marriage Act, 1961. Ministers of religion are registered as marriage celebrants after being nominated by their church or faith and they are able to marry persons in accordance with their church or faith throughout Australia. Chaplains in the armed services have the ability to solemnise marriages overseas where one person is in the Australian Defence Force. Registrars of births, deaths and marriages are automatically marriage celebrants by their office, and most registrars of courts in rural NSW are able to perform marriages. Most Australian diplomatic or consular officers in foreign countries are also authorised to perform marriages in those countries. Otherwise, to become a fully certified and authorised marriage celebrant, you will need to be at least 18 years of age, be of good character, attend the correct training and showcase your knowledge of marriage legislation. The training is a Certificate IV in Celebrancy which can be obtained at many registered training organisations including TAFE. After vetting by Police and paying fees, a person becomes registered as a marriage celebrant and may solemnise marriages at any place in Australia at any time subject to the act and provided the bride and groom give at least one month’s notice to the celebrant in writing of their intention to marriage. Instant marriages are not possible. If you have questions on the Marriage Law or anything else, please contact any of our solicitors at Matthews Williams.

LITTLE Black Book
The Truth About Tennis Elbow Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia) is a general term used to describe pain on the outside of the elbow. Ironically, most people who get tennis elbow do not play tennis and whilst pain is felt at the elbow it is a degenerative problem that involves the wrist and finger extensor muscles. Typically, those with tennis elbow will experience pain when performing gripping tasks or resisted wrist or finger extension. There will be tenderness over the bone on the outside of the elbow and the muscles of the forearm may feel very tight. Often grip strength is decreased and it is painful to grip or lift objects or to shake hands. In the not so distant past, it was thought that this was an inflammatory condition and the common advice was to rest, and take anti-inflammatories. We now know that this is a degenerative condition of the tendon where the wrist extensors attach to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. The cause can be due to one large/strong movement or repeated movements that stress the tendon to the point where the tendon is unable to repair as quickly as damage is occurring. Initially treatment involves rest from the aggravating activities and gentle strengthening exercises to stimulate the growth of new tendon cells within the tendon. Load management is important, for example instead of painting that room in one day complete it over several days to minimise aggravation. Initially isometric exercises such as tensing your forearm muscles without moving your wrist will help relieve symptoms. These are later progressed to eccentric strengthening exercises to prevent reinjury. For the fitness of you, Linda Reilly

This weekend saw Round 1 and Round 2 of the Golf Club Championships, sponsored by Lachlan Commodities. After two rounds the leaders are: A-Grade Scratch – S Betland (139) from J Betland (142); A-Reserve Scratch – B Carpenter (166) from B Shine (168); B-Grade Scratch – M Spice (172) tied with I Bown (172) and C-Grade – R Besgrove (186) from A Tucker (189). Handicap leaders for each grade are: S Betland (141), B Carpenter (143), I Bown (143) and R Besgrove/G Webb (144). There were exciting shots played, with an eagle being a highlight of the weekend’s play. This was scored on the 4th hole, when Steve Bate holed his shot across the water. In conjunction with the championship play there is a Daily Comp, the results of which are: On day 1 the A-division was won by Dave Earl (69 nett) from Ken Sanderson (70 nett)
on count back. The B-division was won by Geoff Drane (67 nett) from an improving Greg Webb (70 nett). The ball sweep went to 72 on count back, going to: 67 – G Drane; 69 – D Earl; 70 – K Sanderson, J Betland, G Webb, J Haley, M Wood; 71 – I Bown, J Zannes, B Carpenter, W Judge, M Browne; 72 – S Uphill, S McAlister, T Morgan, A Rees, A Tucker, A Callaghan and S Kirkman. The NTP’s went to: 9th – D Mylecharane; 18th – J Betland. There were only eight 2’s scored. Dave ‘Mullie’ converted his NTP but John missed his. The best “2” of the day went to Steve Bate, who managed an eagle on the 4th. The day-2 Daily Comp saw the A-division won by S Betland Nett 68 on count back from D Bayley. In the B-division F Donohoe (69) was the winner ahead of R Besgrove (70). The NTP’s went to: 9th – J Haley; 18th – B Doyle. Once again 2’s were scarce with only five scored. By Short Putt
