“Cruisin’ Along” – Your Chance To Break Out And Support Cancer Care Ever wanted to break out of the square and drive for a week around the Central West with stuffed toys, balloons, placards, coloured lights and musical horns festooning your car? And raise funds at the same time for cancer sufferers and their carers? If so, the Cruisin’ Along cavalcade, which stopped off for a night in Canowindra last week, would certainly like to hear from you. This was Cruisin’ Along’s sixth tour of the region, raising funds for the Western Care Lodge in Orange, providing crucial accommodation and care for victims and their families from all over the region during cancer treatment. According to organiser Terry Davis, this year’s event was another big success, adding $55,000 to the $450,000 that it’s raised so far for the centre – most of it from fundrais-
ing auctions and public donations in each of the eight towns it visited. But the number of Cruisers was down this year – only 18 cars, headed as always by Cruisin’ Along’s doyen, Orange’s mayor John Davis --compared with 34 participants last year who raised more than $80,000 in funds. The organisers had hoped to attract at least 50 volunteer drivers this year. So, Canowindra – how about it? As Terry Davis says, the annual tour promises “great scenery, great comradeship, great dinners in each town, and a valuable contribution to a worthy cause. “All you need is a sense of humour and a passion for a good time.” So check http://www.cruisin-along.org.au.

As I sat in the House of Reps listening to Bill Shorten’s Budget reply, I was staggered by the depth of denial. Labor still refuses to face facts. The tired rhetoric on more handouts, more duplication, more waste, is dangerous stuff for Australia. We are paying a billion dollars EVERY MONTH in interest on our debt. How could we use an extra billion dollars in Hume? Fix some roads, build teaching hospitals, open a university campus, all of the above. The Federal Government’s first Budget is tough, yes. But it’s what we need to get our economy back on track - and the Government is calling for a contribution from all of us. I accept that some may be concerned about aspects of the Budget and I am strongly encouraging people to pick up the phone, send me an email, or drop into my electorate offices, so that I can help ease any concerns - and clarify what’s happening and when. Many changes that were mentioned on Budget night won’t take effect for years.
More than ever, Australia needs strong leadership and strong economic management. We need to end the days of borrow and spend. This Budget also signals big new investment in infrastructure. There are positive opportunities for our communities from investments in medical research, higher education and in setting up more competitive industries. I will be taking the time in coming months to outline these opportunities clearly, so that there is a broad understanding of the path we are on to a more sure and prosperous future. Angus Taylor Member for Hume

Frequently asked question What is the tax free threshold? The tax-free threshold is the amount of money an Australian resident can earn before they pay income tax. This means if you earn less than $18,200 in a financial year, you do not need to pay income tax. If you earn more than $18,200 in a financial year, you will only pay income tax on your earnings over $18,200.
Retirement Planning And Business Planning Seminars Monica Maguire of MDM Financial Services is holding a FREE seminar on retirement planning in Cowra on the 4th June at the Services Club from 6pm. This seminar will educate clients on the question – how much do you actually need to retire? It also will look at the recent changes in the Budget and also will look at Aged Care and some examples that sometimes it is better not to sell the family home when you go into Aged Care. It will also look at why super
is still the best way to save for retirement. “Superannuation is still the best way to save for retirement due to the tax advantages the Government provides” Monica Maguire says. MDM Financial Services is also holding a Luncheon on Business Succession Planning in Cowra on the 4th June. This is a great educational lunch for business owners who are in partnership on business succession and also those who are looking to sell their business what are the Capital Gains Tax implica-

Winter Warmers Winter is fast approaching with the start of June near. There are plenty of activities to do inside and out throughout the winter without freezing. Australian winters are beautiful especially in our rural areas where we experience four seasons. The leaves begin to turn orange and red before they fall leaving the trees bare. Occasionally we will observe snowfall or sleet turning the outback into a white winter wonderland. The fog in the morning begins to thicken as dawn approaches, making us want to stay in bed all day! It’s time to layer up and get out there to see what our beautiful country has to offer.
Australian Winter brings you... North Queensland’s winter sun - Make your friends jealous this winter by holidaying in North Queensland, with its balmy weather, palm trees and swimmable seas. Snow Play on the slopes - Want to see a snow-capped mountain? During winter in Victoria, you’ll find hundreds of ski-runs across ten great alpine locations. There are also slopes in NSW including Thredbo and Mount Selwyn. Don’t worry, it isn’t that cold once you start skiing the slopes and your blood is pumping with the reflection of the sun off the white snow on your face. Make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen!
Western Australia’s wildflowers - Forget drab days and bleak landscapes. From June until September, more than 12,000 wildflower species explode across the state. The temperature is a tad hotter than what we are used to in winter, so if you are looking for a somewhat mild winter escape, WA is perfect. South Australian Desert adventure - This winter, challenge yourself by four wheel driving the South Australian section of the vast, timeless Simpson Desert. Tasmania’s winter secrets – Just a hop, skip and a jump over the ditch. Celebrate the solstice in Hobart or ski in Ben Lomond National Park. Trek the snow-coated highlands of Cradle Mountain or snuggle fireside in a lodge in Wineglass Bay. The picturesque Blue Mountains - Every year from June to August, thousands of people flock to the Blue Mountains for a peaceful getaway with roaring fires, roast dinners, the city and the occasional snowfall. The Blue Mountains offers various tourist attractions including the Cultural Centre and FJ Tours. By Jessica Jenkins

Business Tips
Cargo General Store
Why embrace change?
Cath and Ben Brand are the proud managers of the Cargo Store and have been for the past 2 years. They have just signed a new 2 year contract keeping them on as the Managers. One of the best things about working here says Cath is “Getting to talk to the locals all day and being a part of the community.” The Cargo General Store is renowned for its takeaways especially the hamburgers, chicken schnitzel burgers and the chips. The takeaway is a big part of the business but they also act on behalf of Australia Post, sell grocery items, fuel and car needs, gas refills, ice, phone cards etc. Cath and Ben pride themselves on having local wears on consignment in the store. One of the new items being fresh flowers. Cath and Ben have 3 other staff members that help out they are Cath’s mum Vicki, Ben’s mum Judy and part timer Makeala.
As a business matures, things rarely stay the same. In times of change, business owners can lose sight of the values and goals that they began with, and may find themselves overwhelmed. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Take stock and with a little effort and some flexible thinking new opportunities will present.

Get additional training. Employees are not the only ones who can benefit from training. We all can. If you are overwhelmed by a new piece of technology or software, or are feeling like changes in your industry are too difficult for you to understand, make the time to seek help and learn how to adapt. An additional benefit is that you stay on the cutting edge and may gain great exposure for your business. Revisit your small business’s roots. The key to remaining grounded is reminding yourself that even though your business has changed, it didn’t happen overnight and there was a progression that took you from where you started out to where you are now. Revisit and celebrate the steps you took to develop your business. Update your business plan. Most business owners only write a business plan when they are first starting out. If your business has changed in a way or if you are nostalgic, looking at your business plan is a great way to reconnect to the ideas you had when you first started. Most importantly it reminds you of your core business objectives and will serve as great learning when you review how your business has grown and evolved.
