Aoife said.

Aoife is a 37 year old lawyer living at the Camden end of the new electoral boundaries.

Aoife has worked as a solicitor with the NSW Government working in child protection, workHUV¡ FRPSHQVDWLRQ FULPLQDO ODZ UHYHQXH DQG public interest immunity. She lived in the United Kingdom for a few years working as a foreign solicitor for the UK Government.

She is committed to social justice and fairness for everyone. She believes that a society in which the basic needs of all are attended to as a matter of priority is the path to shared prosperity.

Aoife decided to stand for Hume because she wants her generation to be represented in the decision making for our country.

Aoife believes that Australians, especially her generation and younger, realise that stewardship of the environment and universal servicing of the educational, health and technological rights of its constituents is no longer a choice, but an economic and social imperative.

Aoife drew top position on the ballot paper, and will be listed there as Aoife ChampionFashoyin, which is her married name.

Thousands converge on Wombat for Swap Meet

Around 3500 people converged on Wombat village last Saturday and Sunday at the Wombat Sports Ground for the Wombat Swap Meet, and organiser Marty Williams said the display cars were so popular there was an opportunity to make a car show out of the event.

The event, now in its third year, raises money that goes back into the village for various community projects. It does this through stall fees of $30 each, and entry fees, which were $5 per person over 16 years old.

There were plenty of items on offer through the various stalls that were set up at the event, including goods and gifts, antiques, clothes, and even large items like furniture and cars.

By Joshua Matic

Some four years ago Dr Yvonne McMaster, retired palliative care doctor, became a very strong advocate for palliative care, funding and services. She highlighted the importance to improve palliative care and made comment that people in rural areas are suffering the most in New South Wales with very few towns having specialist palliative care doctors.

As a community our goal should be to ensure that every person with a life-limiting illness, who needs palliative care, has access to when and wherever it is needed.

Specialist palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families who are facing the heart breaking problems associated with lifethreatening illness. The palliative care doctors, nurses and other health care professionals together with spiritual leaders do an extraordinary job. This team work provides family members with a support system to FRSH GXULQJ WKHLU ORYHG RQH¡V LOOQHVV /DVW PRQWK IURP 0D\ WR ZDV 1Dtional Palliative Care week raising awareness and understanding about palliative care. It addressed the need for people with advanced chronic illness to be able to access palliative care and noted that there was a misconception that only cancer patients can access this care. Early access to palliative care, for people with a chronic illness, can help them have a better quality of life.

Finally, we need to pledge and voice our continued support for the level and type of palliative care required by our loved ones.

With a rich history and quality service, make sure that you stop by the Light Horse Hotel or stay longer.

Raising a village In a quiet corner of Young High School the beginnings of some great friendships are blossoming. Not between two students or new teachers but between an unassuming group of local women who are volunteering their time as mentors and their student mentees.

The group of 12 students and their mentors meet once a week for an hour to connect and share what is happening in their life. The mentoring program is coordinated by the Raise Foundation, a youth mentoring organisation based in Sydney. Raise is funded through the *RYHUQPHQW¡V <RXWK )URQWLHUV SURJUDP WKDW supports a range of programs to help positively impact the wellbeing of young people.

Young High School is one of the few regional schools participating in the program this year after running a successful program in 2015. Danielle Hudson, the program coordinator for Young, is delighted to once again see the friendships developing between the mentors and students.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raise is about connecting the students ZLWK D QHXWUDO SRVLWLYH UROH PRGHO ,W¡V JLYLQJ WKHP VRPHRQH WR WDON ZLWK WKDW LVQ¡W D SDUHQW or teacher.â&#x20AC;? ´7KH PHQWRUV DUH VR VHOĂ HVV DQG giving of their time and energy and across the two terms and we really see the students blossom.â&#x20AC;?

The Raise Foundation believes it takes a village to raise a child and that ethos really appealed to High School Principal, Keith Duran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being apart of this program was a nobrainer. We believe every student matters at Young High School and putting programs in place like Raise that connect our students with members of the community has been fantastic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students love it but from the smiles on the faces of the mentors when they leave each week, I think they are getting just as much out of it. We are really grateful for their dedication and time given each week.â&#x20AC;?

Hasko Stewart enjoys three-peat at Harden NSW rider Talea Hasko-Stewart has now won three NSW State Endurance Riding Championships in a row, after taking out the HardenMurrumburrah Championships last weekend.

Harden-Murrumburrah played host to this \HDU¡V FKDPSLRQVKLSV IRU WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW WLPH ZLWK about 170 riders coming from all over the country, from Western Australia, Victoria, 4XHHQVODQG DQG 16: It is arguably the biggest sporting event to be held in the Harden-Murrumburrah area this year, and not just by the level of the competition.

Endurance horse riding takes courage, and plenty of it, as at the highest level, it goes for a whopping 24 hours.

The Harden-Murrumburrah event was kinder to those not wanting to embark on the full quest, offering 40 kilometre, 60 kilometre and 80 kilometre events as well, but 50 competitors still rode into town to give their best shot at

the monster 160 kilometre main event. :KLOH WKLV ZDV WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW WLPH D VWDWH FKDPpionship had been held at Harden-Murrumburrah, the twin town and surrounds is not unfamiliar with the sport. The Harden-Murrumburrah Endurance Riders Association holds its own local event each year, but normally only holds an 80 kilometre event.

Event organiser Gordon Smith, who is the President of the Harden-Murrumburrah Endurance Riders Association, said each contestant in the 160 kilometre event put in a great effort, and overall the event was a huge success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough event. It ran for 24 hours from 11pm Saturday night to 11pm on Sunday night, and each morning was very cold,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ride was done in 40 kilometre stages, and after each stage, each horse was assessed by the team of veterinarians, of which there was seven.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great for Talea to win her third straight championship. She rode so well and it was thoroughly deserved.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of the 50 riders who participated in the 160 kilometre event, 25 completed it, but Talea was well ahead.â&#x20AC;?

Horses may go â&#x20AC;&#x153;lameâ&#x20AC;? if they suffer from fatigue, and this constitutes elimination, while extraordinarily high heart rates may also force the vets to pull a horse out.

This Week at Tipperary Golf Club Sunday was an ideal day for golf with the course playing true. We had a good roll up for the second week of our Auto Pro four week competition and at the half way point in A grade, there is only one point separating three players. In B grade, only one point separates two players and with just two weeks to go it looks like it will go right down to the last week.

On Monday, I played a social game with a New Zealand family and their ten year old son. son n.

Thomas was twenty metres from the green and an nd his ball was against a tree. He hit the ball an nd and ed it went straight in the hole. He was that excited I reckon they could of heard him cheering in New Zealand .
