LETTER TO THE EDITOR... Dear Editor, As we celebrate International Guide Dog 'D\ RQ $SULO ,¡G OLNH WR WKDQN WKH PHPEHUV of the public who resist patting, feeding or otherwise distracting working Guide Dogs in harness. These amazing dogs, which cost more than WR EUHHG UDLVH DQG WUDLQ DVVLVW WKRVH who are blind or vision impaired to safely and independently get to where they need to go. Unfortunately, some people in the community continue to distract Guide Dogs. In a recent survey, 89% of Guide Dog handlers reported that their Guide Dog had been distracted by members of the public in the past 12 months. It takes a great deal of concentration for a person who is blind or vision impaired to work safely with a Guide Dog and everyone in the community can do their part to make the daily travels of someone who has a Guide Dog a little easier. How the community can help: ‡ 3OHDVH GRQ¡W SDW IHHG RU RWKHUZLVH GLVWUDFW D working Guide Dog in harness. A well-intentioned pat can undo months of training • Make sure your pet dog is on a leash and under control around a Guide Dog and if approaching someone with a Guide Dog, let them know you have a dog with you. People who use Guide Dogs have been trained in the most effective ways to control WKHLU GRJ¡V EHKDYLRU VR SOHDVH RQO\ SURYLGH assistance if requested. And if your assistance is required, always direct your attention to the person rather than interacting with their Guide Dog. Thank you once again to all those who have been considerate, respectful and mindful of the potential issues caused by distracting a Guide Dog. Sincerely, Dr Graeme White CEO, Guide Dogs NSW/ACT

Cat owners have a responsibility to their cat to ensure it is housed, fed and managed to ensure their health and welfare. The community often have divided opinions about cats - which can be seen as either a valued pet/ friend or as a pest. Irresponsible ownership can not only jeopardise your cats safety but it can further impact the reputation of the cat when it is simply behaving as a cat does naturally. Council has developed a factsheet to help cat owners become more aware of the ways to manage companion animal cats in the best possible way.

$V D UHVSRQVLEOH SHW RZQHU DQG UHVLGHQW ZLWKLQ WKLV ÀQH community, this joy comes with several responsibilities. 7KHVH DUH EULHà \ OLVWHG EHORZ DV D FDVXDO UHPLQGHU Effective Control All pets when off their property must be under effective control. For the purposes of the Companion Animals Act, this means the pet must be on a leash and under command and supervision of the attending person. Only 2 Leash Free areas exist within Young and these are at Jack Howard Reserve on Whiteman Avenue, and also the Dog Ring area of the Young Showground when the Showground is open for use and free of other events. Clean Up Any Mess Should your pet choose to relieve itself in a public place, the person who has effective control of the animal has the responsibility, at law, to clean up after their pet. When walking your pet, tie a couple of plastic bags into the leash or slip them into your pocket. Old shopping bags are ideal for this. Control Any Aggression or Barking Try hard to have your pet not interfere with the area you are walking in. It is hard as pets like to socialize and are naturally curious, however it is best for everybody if you have effective control of your pet. At Home – Good Enclosures Pets need to be suitably controlled and amused whilst at home. Council receives too many calls about barking dogs, escaped dogs and roaming dogs. Please check your yard, ensure your pet is well fed, well watered and content in its surroundings. Try to ensure access to shade especially in these warmer months and that your pets have balls, chew toys or other items to help amuse them. Council thanks you for thinking about your pets and working towards a happy and cohesive community.

PLANNED ROADWORKS FOR WEEK ENDING THURSDAY 28TH APRIL 2016 The following works are underway: • Gravel resheeting at Jerrybang Lane, Belowra Road and Murringo Stock Route. (Please contact Young Shire Council to arrange quotation and payment of all private works in these areas.) • Shoulder widening at Bribbaree Road from Mines Road intersection to Kikiamah Lane. • Culvert extensions at Chillingworks Road (between the rail crossing and Henry Lawson Way). • Maimuru SS Road shoulder widening from Good Friday Gully intersection to Bribbaree Road intersection. • Olympic Highway minor patching works various locations. • Tubbul Road shoulder widening at Greengully. Speed restrictions will be in place and minor delays may be experienced. The planned roadworks are subject to change due to Council resources and weather conditions. Motorists are advised Roadwork Speed Limits are enforceable by the NSW Police. Speed should be reduced and caution should be exercised when travelling through roadwork sites. Mary Gilmore Way (Weddin Shire) - Temporary road closure.

Transport for health in Boorowa Boorowa Local Health Advisory Committee (LHAC) reminds the community about some changes to transport arrangements to medical appointments that may impact local residents.

Mr Armitage said. “If you need to make frequent trips (say for radiology or dialysis) that are shorter than 100km you can also qualify for assistance, if you travel over 200km a week. To do this you need to keep a diary. There is a form for this on the website. “To qualify for the subsidy of 22c per kilometre your referral must be to the nearest provider of that type of service. So it makes sense to check that your referral is to the nearest service provider.â€?

ANZAC Day Road Closures Council wishes to advise that on Monday, 25 April 2016, as in previous years, Marsden Street, Pudman Street and Queen Street will be closed for the ANZAC Day march to the War Memorial from 10am until 12.30 pm. The parade will commence at the intersection of Marsden and Queen Street at 10am and proceed to the War Memorial. Marsden Street will be reopened following the completion of the Parade.

This week I have spent a lot of time thinking about telephones and the amount of time we have spent arguing with our service providers to ensure that we are getting what we pay for. Arguing and telephone service seem to be synonymous. Did you know that Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, was actually involved in a very famous legal battle just to prove he invented the telephone before Elisha Gray? It seems since then, the arguments, the legal battles and the trouble getting proper service, have only become more impossible. Since December, Boorowa has experienced seven landline outages and lost a total of twenty-one days of service. For some of the outlying villages and rural residents, landlines are the only service available. This has led to a very dangerous and potentially life threatening problem.

Bee biodiversity workshop a success

How do you drink your coffee? I have my coffee white with skim milk, with one sugar, and made extra hot.

On Saturday 2nd April, Boorowa Community Landcare Group hosted Megan Halcroft from Bees Business, to speak at Boorowa Ex-Services Club about Native Bees and their habitat. It was a very successful event with over 30 attending from Boorowa, Young and extending to neighbouring Landcare groups in Gunning, Yass and Breadalbane. Megan opened the day with discussion about the importance of bees in our environment and how most native bees are solitary and do not produce honey but are very important pollinators. Bees drive biodiversity through pollination, as pollination enables seed formation and fruit development. Bees are important pollinators of many food crops such as vegetables, berries, nuts, coffee and more. Very simply – No bees, No food!

Sadly, our bee populations are declining. As we clear land for urban development, remove plants and by using pesticides, we can cause bee population losses. The workshop group then moved to local gardens in Boorowa to observe what habitats for native bees look like and what is the best way to attract bees to your garden. The best way to attract bees to your JDUGHQ LV WR KDYH SDWFKHV RI à RZHUV ² WKH JUHDWHU YDULHW\ RI à RZHU WKH JUHDWHU WKH GLversity of bee you will attract.

It was a sleepy start for second grade with the Queanbeyan whites scoring a couple of tries early. It was an up hill battle for second grade from there, eventually losing 43-14. Points for that game went to Josh McManus 3, Billy Moncrieff 2, and Curtis Targett 1. First grade also had a slow start leaving their best plays for later in the game. Queanbeyan scored early and would hold the lead throughout the game to win 24-12. Referee Mitch Runner -�Good close game played in the right spirit. It was close until the end. I thought Young could have come back but left it a little late.�

Whilst he fought in the Vietnam War, his eldest daughter Emily Cameron currently serves in the Royal Australian Air Force, while his father George Walker fought in World War II.

Terry Rodgers Harden Shire resident Terry Rodgers says mateship and camaraderie are the most important aspects of the commemoration of ANZAC Day. While living in the Harden Shire, Mr Rodgers lives closest to the town of Young, and will march from Town Hall to Anderson Park with many other local veterans on ANZAC Day. Mr Rodgers served with the Australian Army in the Vietnam War from April 1967 to April 1968, working on some major operations in which one of the biggest saw the use of around 360 vehicles. He also served in the RAAF for 20 years from 1958-1978. He was based in the South Vietnam province of Phuoc Toi, an area in which the Australians had responsibility, and also worked closely with the American forces.

While spending much of his time making schedules on how troops would get on aircraft and get from one point to another, he also assisted both American and Australian pilots in spotting exercises from the air. He said ANZAC Day was for remembering your mates. “I like to march to remind the civil population what those that have served have done,� he said. “You never forget who your mates were when you have served.� Stephen Barnes Boorowa returned serviceman Stephen Barnes says he feels proud when he marches and sees people watching him march. Mr Barnes, a resident of Boorowa for the past 10 years but originally from Inverell, Northern NSW, served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1962 to 1985. He served in the Vietnam War between 1966 and 1969 before being brought back home to Australia. He worked aboard the HMAS Sydney, a troop transport ship, from 1966 to 1968, before working as a trainer on the HMAS Perth, which was a missile destroyer. He said ANZAC Day reminds him strongly of the camaraderie and mateship that the day is so well known for. “I look back at my time in the Navy as a positive experience, and not one that I would regret,� he said. “ANZAC Day reminds me of the camaraderie and mateship of those who have served for Australia, and I feel very proud when I march when I see so many people watching and supporting.� “When I left the Navy, my wife joined it, so it runs in the family as well.�
