As we move on with this amalgamation process and as we approach the September time for elections, the thought that Boorowa will not have a great number of representatives on the new council is daunting.

With this scenario in mind, the need to have an energetic, well organized and progressive voice prepared to fight for our rights is essential.
The Boorowa Business Chamber is just that organization, but it needs all businesses, urban and rural, to get behind it.
I attended last week’s AGM along with five other people… that’s right, six people.
Boorowa business owners – that’s terrible.
The Business Chamber needs you, and we all will need a strong Business Chamber.
Without being alarmist, apathy has the potential to destroy.
I don’t want to see that happen to this wonderful town.

Talking to a couple of business owners in our CBD, I was somewhat surprised to find out how quiet things are at the moment.
It’s all very well to talk about an organization to stand up for us if times get tough, but if we don’t support our local businesses, we risk having nothing to stand up for.
Think where you spend your dollar and try to help local businesses, because we truly need them.

I turned the old four score and ten (70) last Tuesday which has left me confused.
If the new ‘old age’ is eighty, does that mean I’m still middle aged?

St Patrick would surely frown on this ‘confession’:
Murphy showed up at mass one Sunday and the priest nearly fell down with surprise – Murphy had never been to church in his life.
After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, “Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass.”
“What made ya come?”
Murphy said, “I got to be honest with you Father, a while back I misplaced me hat I really loved.
“I knew that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and he came to church every Sunday.
“I also knew he had to take his hat off during Mass and figured he would leave it at the back of the church.
“I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn’s hat.”
The priest said, “Well Murphy, I noticed that ya didn’t steal McGlynn’s hat.
“What changed your mind?”
Murphy replied, ”Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided I didn’t need to steal McGlynn’s hat after all.”
With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said, “After I talked about ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal’, ya decided that ya would rather do without your hat than burn in Hell?”
Murphy slowly shook his head.
“No Father, after ya talked about ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery’, I remembered where I left me hat.”

You live and learn.
Only last week I found out that the image of the Queen only goes on the banknote of the lowest denomination – 1966 $1, today $5.
Been on all the coins since at least Federation.
Money! Money! Money!
Governments are always looking to wheedle more out of us with often scant regard for the spending.
Money managers, find what you can in these words:
