Simulator to change how drivers train in the Hilltops Training for learner drivers in the Hilltops region has received a massive boost, with a computerised driver trainer simulator arriving at the Young PCYC last week. The machine is one of just two in the entire state at the moment, with the other in Sydney, and has come at a cost of around $38,000. It is tipped to be a massive coup to the entire Hilltops community, with learner drivers from across the region being able to take advantage RI OHDUQLQJ WR GULYH LQ VSHFLÀF VLWXDWLRQV WKDW cannot be prepared when driving in real life. Trained volunteers will work with learner drivers on the simulator. The machine is in Young thanks to the local Rotary Club, which raised around $12,000 for it.

According to Young Rotary Club member Frank Lincoln, it would provide learner drivers a wide range of lessons that would make them better drivers on the road. “You can also set special circumstances on the system, such as driving in heavy rain or even snow, or what it is like to drive unGHU WKH LQÁXHQFH DQG ZK\ \RX VKRXOG QHYHU GR WKDW 7KHVH DUH WKLQJV WKDW FDQ·W UHDOO\ EH taught on the real roads.” The simulator opened for business on Monday.

DID YOU KNOW

VOTING RULES HAVE CHANGED?

Make your vote count this federal election. At this year’s federal election, the way you vote for the Senate has changed and it’s important that you understand how to vote correctly. On the large white Senate ballot paper, you can choose to vote either above or below the line. If you choose to vote above the line, you now need to number at least 6 boxes. Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.

If you choose to vote below the line, you must number at least 12 boxes, from 1 to 12, for individual candidates in the order of your choice. Voting for the House of Representatives has not changed. On the green ballot paper, you must number every box, starting with the number ‘1’ for your first choice, ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you have numbered every box. ‘How to vote’ instructions will be clearly displayed on your ballot paper. Don’t worry if you make a mistake — just ask for another ballot paper.

This federal election your vote will help shape Australia.

No luck for Picnic Races

<RX ZRXOG QRW EHOLHYH LW They say fortune is a wheel that spins in favour of others and not so much for the rest, and the Boorowa Picnic Races Committee would certainly feel as though they have lost fate.

Transport Services in third generation of community service Tobin Transport Services in Harden certainly knows its community very well, and is now operating in its third generation. The business was set up by local man Alan Tobin in 1966, and is celebrating its 50th year in business. Having been in business for so many years now, Tobin Transport Services is very well established in not just the Harden-Murrumburrah community, but also in Young, Boorowa, Cootamundra and Temora. $ODQ¡V VRQ 0LFKDHO 7RELQ MRLQHG WKH EXVLQHVV LQ DV DQ HPSOR\HH RI KLV IDWKHU¡V DQG VLQFH WKHQ 0LFKDHO¡V VRQ 7LP 7RELQ KDV also come on board, making the business a true family one in its third generation. Michael now looks after the day-to-day running of the business, while his father Alan still works for the business on a parttime basis. Michael said the business had made a great name for itself over the last 50 years and that the business had served the community well during that time.

“Dad knew all of the land holders in WKH DUHD EDFN LQ WKH Âś V ZKHQ KH ZDV an apprentice mechanic at the Holden dealership,â€? he said. “We have obviously been getting around and seeing a lot of people since the business started, and we are very well known in the community.â€? According to Michael, about 80% of the business comes through transporting wool bales across the shires of Harden, Boorowa, Young and Temora. The business also does a regular beer run from Canberra, picking up different brands of beer from selected warehouses in Canberra and delivering them to pubs and clubs in Harden-Murrumburrah and the wider South West Slopes region. Recently, the business has also started to use tipper trucks, to transport and tip fertilisers and soils for clients, which Michael said had contributed to the EXVLQHVV¡ JURZWK

The Rural Fire Service is on the look out for more women across the region, and South West Slopes zone support brigade captain Louise Livermore says there are many things females can do in the organisation. Mrs Livermore is a volunteer in her role, and looks after the entire South West Slopes region of NSW, including Harden. And being the only female volunteering her time in her entire zone, she said the RFS was focusing on getting more women on board. “I joined three years ago, because I wanted to know what to do in the event RI D EXVKĂ€UH $ERXW \HDUV DJR QRZ WKHUH ZDV D Ă€UH RQ P\ SURSHUW\ DQG , GLGQ¡W UHDOO\ NQRZ ZKDW WR GR Âľ VKH VDLG “There is so many things you learn from being a part of the RFS, and a lot of the skills you learn translate to other walks of life as well.â€? ´/RWV RI ZRPHQ GRQ¡W WKLQN WKH\¡UH FDpable or strong enough to do it, but if WKH\ GRQ¡W ZDQW WR ZRUN RQ WKH IURQW OLQH they can do other things like operate the radios and telephones, organise trucks and do other support work.â€?
