FROMthe Mayor’s desk Another busy week in Local Government with current councillors and General Managers being asked to express their interest in being involved in any transitional type council that may be put in place for merged councils until they go to the polls in March 2017. Some sections of Local Government and some councillors have been critical of this process and also of the criteria that is explained in the accompanying document. I myself thought that is was a pretty straightforward and simple matter to deal with, if you are interested and would like to be part of a successful merger and are committed to serving your community, express that to the Minister, if you are not willing to commit to those two REMHFWLYHV WKHQ GRQ¡W DSSO\ VLPSOH I had the pleasure of attending and presenting awards at the launch of Senior Citizens Week

at the Services Club on Sunday, and it was indeed a pleasure to see people who have given their time and resources voluntarily to the community be acknowledged. The people who receive these awards are special people and never seek acknowledgement and mostly try to avoid it, but they truly deserve to be thanked. On Sunday evening I attended a Dinner with a group of people who make up the Regional Development Australia Southern Inland committee who travelled to Young to hold their board meeting at Young Shire Council chambers and to spend Monday visiting some of our local businesses. The aim of this group is to listen to the needs of regional areas and endeavour to form strategies that help achieve those needs. On Tuesday morning Deputy Mayor Ben Cooper and I met with several local farmers and the Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair and representatives from Local Land Services and had discussions relating to

Traveling Stock Routes in our area. Then at 12.30 pm several councillors and myself met with Michael McCormick MP, Federal Member for Riverina and had discussions in regard to several matters that are of concern to our community. At 2.00pm the General Manager and I attended a public inquiry into proposed mergers at Harden and then proceeded to attend an inquiry at Boorowa at 6.00pm on proposed mergers. As I write this article on Tuesday night I will say I fully intend to attend a meeting in Gundagai on Wednesday morning in regard to the same PDWWHU DQG ÀQLVK RII WKH GD\ E\ EHLQJ SUHsent at our Public inquiry at 3.00pm. To say that it has been busy is an understatement, but as I stated, if you put your hand up to serve your community that is what you do, and my promise to serve the community as best I could is as strong now as it was when I made it in September 2012.

Wiradjuri values to be respected in Local Land Services project Local indigenous part-time employees will take responsibility for the cultural heritage for the maintenance of travelling stock routes (TSR) across the Riverina. The NSW Government Local Land Services has put in place a cultural assessment training package for 15 indigenous students, who will be employed part time to assess the quality of 153 TSRs in the Riverina.

Promotion of Melanoma, a cancer affecting many Australians of all ages, begins in Young on Thursday 21st April, with the arrival of Max and Molly Melanoma to the front window of the Millard Centre. Libby Woodse, Chairperson of the Boorowa Harden and Young Community Cancer Network and her small committee have researched accredited information and material surrounding Melanoma to create a display with handout information they hope will attract those at risk. Everyone is at risk! Farmers like Max and Molly, children, elderly, those with disabilities, young mothers, and sports lovers. The call is to “Get naked! Check your spots!” Involve your family in checking your skin. Melanoma will not only affect you, it will affect your family too, so prevention and early detection is so important. On board sharing her talent in designing and creating Max and Molly Melanoma is Kay McDonald. The display will remain in Millard Centre, Young for 3 weeks then move to Boorowa and Harden at venues to be arranged. The Boorowa Harden and Young Community Cancer network is committed to promoting awareness to assist the community to keep healthy, and to provide information to support when a cancer diagnosis changes OLIH·V MRXUQH\

This is in comparison to nutrients being taken up in soil water through the water roots of the plant in a soluble form. Trials at Illinois University have shown when nutrients are taken up in this manner, nitrogen jams the system, blocking out essential phosphorus and calcium. Without balanced nutrition being supplied to the crop there is far more likelihood of disease and pest problems. Germinate Plus is a microbe friendly, carbon based blend supplying soluble and slow release nutrients including trace minerals which produces plant roots with an

active rhizosphere. It is in this area that soluble nutrients are held tightly and sixty percent of soil microbes live close to the roots. These microbes utilise the glucose from photosynthesis for energy, supplying nutrients back to the plant in a balanced bio available manner. Seed Dressing represents the highest FRVW WR EHQHČ´W UDWLR RI DQ\ LQSXW in cropping and should ideally form an integral part of every fertiliser program. YLAD Living Soils, Seed Start Dressing supplies 22 amino acids, 60 broad spectrum minerals and includes gibberellins, cytokines and auxins, betaines and triacontanol ensuring quick germination and plant establishment.

On December 18 last year, NSW Minister for Local Government Paul Toole announced the government planned a forced merger between Harden, Boorowa and Young Shires. The decision was welcomed by both the Boorowa Council and the Young Shire Council, but not by Harden.

Speaking to a delegate from the electoral boundaries commission, Cr Horton and Harden Shire Assistant General Manager Trevor Drowley outlined their reasons for merging with Cootamundra and Gundagai instead of Young and Boorowa.

He claimed a recent survey conducted by the Harden Shire Council found that 90.5% of respondents preferred to merge with Cootamundra and Gundagai as opposed to merge with Boorowa and Young.

INSURANCE Tips

Pet Insurance – A load of Rubbish? Like most insurances out there until you need them you feel like you are paying for thin air. This is especially true with pet insurance which I thought was a load of rubbish (as do most pet owners: according to consumer group Choice, only 2 per cent of people insure their pets) until faced with the prospect of massive veterinary ELOOV DIWHU RXU IDPLO\ GRJ GHFLGHG WR SLFN D Ă€JKW with a king brown snake. If your dog is prone to illness or if your cat URXWLQHO\ JHWV LQ WR Ă€JKWV ZLWK RWKHU FDWV SHW insurance can take the stress out of expensive vet bills. Considering the high costs for complicated specialist treatments, pet insurance can offer value for money and give you peace of mind that you can afford the best treatment for your pet. Three tips when buying pet insurance First, read the policy properly – some insurance contracts may as well be written in Greek, so it pays to work out exactly what is included and excluded in your cover. Some LQVXUHUV ZRQ¡W SD\ RXW IRU SUH H[LVWLQJ FRQGLtions, older pets or even certain breeds. Second, choose the highest excess you can FRQĂ€GHQWO\ DIIRUG WR SD\ LQ WKH HYHQW RI D FODLP OLNH WKLV ZLOO ORZHU \RXU \HDUO\ SUHPLXP )LQDOO\ RQO\ LQVXUH IRU HYHQWV WKDW FDQ Ă€QDQcially devastate you. Insurers are only too happy to sell you a high-priced all-inclusive type of cover that allows you to claim vet visits and a KRVW RI H[WUDV ² EXW \RX¡OO SD\ WKURXJK WKH SDZV for it. A lower-cost option is to get fully covered in the event of an accident and illness, and pay for any other vet treatment such as immunisations out of your own pocket. So long as you buy the right policy, pet insurance like most insurance is a smart investment. By John Bowman Ausure Insurance Brokers

People living on low incomes in Young, Boorowa, Harden, Cootamundra, Temora and Grenfell can access small loans of up to $1,000 at no interest to buy household items such as appliances or furniture or pay for some services such as dental work. This is all possible under the No Interest Loans Scheme, which is available to residents who meet the correct criteria. There are no establishment or account keeping fees either, so if a loan is for a new washing machine costing $600, that is what is to be paid back. Repayments on loans, usually $20-30 per fortnight, are recycled into loans for other people. “Often mainstream credit, such as a credit card or a personal loan from a bank, LVQ¡W DYDLODEOH WR SHRSOH OLYLQJ RQ ORZ LQFRPHV DQG WKH\ FDQ Ă€QG WKHPVHOYHV WXUQing to very high cost cash loans through non-bank lenders such as you see advertised on TV,â€? said NILS Young coordinator Judy Barker “Another option is to sign up with a rentto-buy company that can end up costing 2 or 3 times the price of an item bought for cash.â€? Through the No Interest Loans Scheme, assisted by the Joesephite Foundation Young, people holding health care, pensioner concession or DVA cards can apply for a No Interest Loan if they have lived at their current address for six months and have the willingness and capacity to repay the loan. :KLOH 1,/6 ORDQV FDQ¡W EH XVHG WR SD\ bills or borrow cash, they can be used for a wide range of household items from fridges to furniture, car tyres and windscreens, televisions to computers, dental costs and medical appliances, hot water services and even lawn mowers.

Woodwards gets experience of a lifetime at Canberra Stadium The last thing Young Yabbies under sevens player Darcy Woodward expected last Saturday night was to be interviewed live on the big screen at Canberra Stadium. But much to his surprise he got the call up before his 10 minute match against the Gungahlin Eagles during half time of WKH 6XSHU 5XJE\ Ă€[WXUH EHWZHHQ WKH $&7 Brumbies and Waikato Chiefs. He was interviewed by one of Canberra DQG VRXWKHUQ 16:¡V ELJJHVW UDGLR VWDWLRQ presenters, Kristen Henry, from Mix 106.3, who is a regular ground announcer at ACT %UXPELHV¡ KRPH JDPHV With the Yabbies now a part of the ACT Rugby system, its under sevens side ZDV LQYLWHG WR SOD\ LQ D PRGLĂ€HG PDWFK GXUing half time of the Brumbies game, as well as some of the other clubs involved with ACT Rugby. The Yabbies and Eagles played out a “scintillatingâ€? 0-all draw, according WR :RRGZDUG¡V IDWKHU 'DYLG :RRGward, who said his son was thrilled with the experience.

“We nominated Darcy as our spokesperson before the match, and he loved the experience,â€? he said. ´+H ZDV DVNHG IRXU TXHVWLRQV ÂśKRZ ORQJ KDYH \RX EHHQ SOD\LQJ IRU¡ ZKLFK LV WZR \HDUV ÂśZKR ZRQ \RXU JDPH¡ ZKLFK KH GLGQ¡W NQRZ ÂśGR \RX JHW RUDQJHV DIWHU WKH JDPH¡ ZKLFK KH VDLG QR WR EXW KH DFWXDOO\ GRHV DQG ÂśZKDW¡V \RXU DGYLFH IRU WKH %UXPELHV LQ WKH VHFRQG KDOI¡ ZKLFK he told them to play harder.â€? David Woodward said his son got a fair share of air time with Kristen Henry, which he was very grateful for. While he conceded the Yabbies under sevens did not play particularly well, he said their enthusiasm was second to none. ´7KH\ UDFHG RXW RQWR WKH Ă€HOG IDVWHU than what a horse can gallop,â€? he said. “They also got to meet with Brumbies and Wallabies star Henry Speight and walk down the tunnel at Canberra Stadium.

Goldies ready for local derby against Harden Boorowa Goldies captain and coach Marty &RUFRUDQ VDLG WKLV 6DWXUGD\¡V ORFDO GHUE\ match against Harden will answer plenty of questions about his side. The Goldies managed to beat Broulee in round one of the South Coast Monaro competition 41-31, but leaked a few tries late in the match. The Harden Red Devils have been out of the competition for a number of years now, but have celebrated their 40th anniversary by re-entering the competition this year. “Harden should be really tough. They EHDW -LQGDE\QH LQ WKHLU Ă€UVW JDPH EDFN ODVW ZHHN DQG ,¡P KHDULQJ WKH\ KDYH D pretty solid forward pack,â€? said Corcoran. The Goldies will be without fullback Nick Ryan for the Boorowa Showground clash, after he suffered a popped shoulder against Broulee. Charlie Coles will be the most likely player to replace Ryan at fullback. &RUFRUDQ VDLG KLV WHDP¡V VFUXPV OLQeouts and set pieces worked a treat for them in round one, but the players were now looking to improve their defence. 6DWXUGD\¡V PDWFK ZLOO DOVR EH WKH *ROGLHV¡ Âś2OG %R\V 'D\¡ ZLWK SDVW SOD\ers invited to join the current ones at the game, and also for drinks at the Boorowa Hotel afterwards.
