# The issue of forced councilmergers has not been laid to rest bythe recent State Government an-nouncements.
The community has every right tobe outraged by the manner in whichthis merger was determined, an-nounced and undertaken. It was un-derhand from a government that said“there would be no forced amalgama-tion” and all the palaver beforehandwith the community was a waste oftime as it appears the decision tomerge was made well in advance.
There was no real case made by theGovernment as to why these mergerswould be beneficial to the residents ofthe various council areas. If it is allright now to back down on the manymergers around the state, then thecase for these mergers must have beenpretty thin in the first place. To reallyrub salt into the wound, if there was acourt case pending then the Govern-ment backed down on that merger aswell.
Last week following the mergerwind back announcements, I wrote tothe NSW Nationals State Leader andDeputy Premier John Barilaro andamongst other comments advised“the way forward for this is to unwindthe Guyra/Armidale merger, acceptthe pain that this will create for un-named persons and start to regaintrust of the Nationals in our commu-nity ...”. To date I have only received aholding reply.
Adam Marshall, our supportivelocal member was advised, and has in-formed me that he is bound by cabinetsolidarity not to discuss the decisionprocess. So what went on in cabinet?
So I call upon residents of Guyrato support this Sunday’s marchthrough the streets of Guyra, to give
a strong message of support to theother councils involved that we willnot roll over and have our independ-ence taken from us without a fight.Unfortunately I will be in Port Mac-quarie that day welcoming a Rotaryteam of Germans from the RhineRuhr district. As I have been organis-ing this cultural and vocational ex-change for the past 12 months I mustbe there to greet them.
With support for our communitycomes responsibility of the residents.We need younger, concerned, ener-getic residents to stand as councillorsto ensure that Guyra has a fair say inthe running of the Armidale RegionalCouncil should we remain “merged”.Don’t keep blaming “them”, it is up tous and you. The torch of concern andleadership needs to be grasped byGuyra’s residents. Are you up to it? Ifnot, don’t whinge about what is goingon in Armidale as you would have lostthat right by not being involved.
No matter what happens, Guyrawill continue to be a strong, energetic,and growing community but it willneed your vocal and meaningful sup-port in the Regional Council. Go totheir meetings, be a burr in the saddleand don’t ever let up.
Grow with Guyra!Alan St Clair

# In the days of our lives, being inthe wrong place at the wrong time hasbecome the melancholy lot for resi-dents of the Guyra Shire.
Well-meaning early community rep-resentatives serving on councilthought it best to keep rates as low aspossible. Having a low rate base wasdefinitely a case of “being in the
wrong place at the wrong time”, whenrate pegging was imposed and servedto freeze council in a financial timewarp. Resilient as always efficiencies,community cohesion, creativity andco-contribution such as never experi-enced in bigger institutions becamethe glue to bind a council and commu-nity in the interests of common goals- local viability, prosperity and a kindof success including but at the sametime deeper than mere financials.
Forced to amalgamate, a decisionnot to take the threat to court sees usonce again ‘being in the wrong placeat the wrong time’.
Being in the wrong place at thewrong time has to change. Our ‘she’llbe right mate’ ; ‘it’ll all work out for thebest in the end’ attitude obviously hasto be a more like a ‘gloves off, fistycuffs, out the back, no holds barred’battle.
When doing things the right andproper way and the decent thing to dofails, a different approach has to takeover and a bit of “rugged politics” willget in the way of “okker compla-cency” and the status quo.
Guyra ANTY group is outraged towitness our right to a democratic fu-ture ripped from our grasp - to be leftas bystanders seeing those with themeans, financially fit, and prepared tomount a legal challenge “off thehook”. It is extraordinary to rewardthose undertaking legal action and ig-nore those who are not.
It seriously pains us to witness thedemocratic will of the people soclearly demonstrated being so clearlyand equally ignored. It is more impor-tant now than ever to assert our dem-ocratic right at the ballot box with agood field to choose from.
We hear all about being unable to
unscramble an egg but realistically ifyou drop an egg and it scrambles youuse it for something else or throw it inthe dogs dinner and start afresh witha new egg, being more careful nexttime not to make the same mess.
I prefer to liken our scenario to abottle of salad dressing. It can beshaken and mixed, shaken and mixedbut as soon as it is left a few secondsto settle it separates. That is how wellour rural council will blend with thecity oriented council in the ArmidaleRegional Council bottle.
Unless we continue to create ashake-up we will be the liquid left atthe bottom of the bottle smotheredby the oil on top and left to suffocatethere.
We are the vinegar in the bottle ofa non-homogenised salad dressingwith Shake Me clearly written on thelabel.
The petition is important Find it!Sign it! And don’t forget your address(it is important)
Join the rally on Sunday 26 Febru-ary at noon and shake it up!

These were just some of the emotions that were expressed at agathering of residents organised lastweek by the Guyra AmalgamationNo Thank You (ANTY).
Speakers identified the anomaly ofCouncils in the city, those with pending court action and those with-out, creating three different classes oflocal government ratepayers in NSW.
Over eighty people present agreedby a show of hands to continue theirpublic protest and to stand strong fordemocracy. They are urging the townto rally on Sunday February 26th atmidday demanding their democraticrights.
Attendees at the meeting heardthat although mergers are claimed tobe successful, of those councilsmerged in 2001 and 2004 37% hadnegative growth, 73% FAILED inthe “fit for the future” assessmentprocess. 27% passed “fit for the future” and of those 77% applied forrate increases above the rate pegging(the average being a 30% increase)
That is neither a recommendationin favour of mergers, nor does it sup-port claims made for the success ofmerged councils.
“Our Armidale Regional Councilfinancial advisor’s statement for theCouncil Meeting Agenda documentDecember 7th, 2016 suggests a dou-ble digit rate rise is needed in theArmidale Regional Council now,”ANTY spokeperson Beth Whitesaid. “This is only restricted by the 4year rate freeze due to the merger.”
“Amalgamations will not fix thedeep seated problems of local gov-ernment that stem from failure offederal government to honour com-mitment to a percentage of funding,cost shifting between levels of gov-ernment and practices of the stateleaving councils vulnerable to $1bil-lion in real terms.”
“Urgently write to political repre-sentatives of all persuasions to ex-
press the concern for maintenance ofdemocratic process and above all elseour identity,” she said. “The petitionis still relevant - find it and sign It!”
Join the rally this Sunday February26th commencing at 12 noon. Therallying point will be next to St Vin-cent de Paul in Bradley St (oppositeP.O. and Council chambers). It willthen proceed along the footpath tothe NAB carpark and up to the BigLamb on the highway. Vehicular traf-fic will continue along and cross theline coming back on the highway tothe site.
The colour theme is Orange -imagination is the only limitation.Wear orange shirts, hats, balloons,streamers, decorations and bringalong your banners, posters and signs.
Mrs White said there is also an ur-gency for ratepayers to respond tothe Draft Strategic Plan that wasdrawn from the response of just 2%of the population. She said that com-ment on the draft fees and chargesthat fails to recognise relevant fees forGuyra ratepayers, is also worthy of anurgent response.
Both are found in “Your Say” atArmidale Regional Council website.

The New South Wales Govern-ment confirmed last week thatArmidale Regional Council willremain in its merged form.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian,Deputy Premier John Barilaro andMinister for Local GovernmentGabrielle Upton announced thatall 2016 merged councils acrossNSW will remain in place.
Council Administrator Dr IanTiley said that this announcementputs to rest any uncertainty aboutthe future of Armidale RegionalCouncil. It is here to stay.
“We continue to focus our ef-forts in making Armidale Re-gional Council a strong, high
performing council for the com-munity,” he said. “We will con-tinue to work hard to deliverbetter services for our citizens.”
“Since Armidale RegionalCouncil was proclaimed last May,we have been striving to give res-idents and ratepayers a better deal.Every decision Council has madeis guided by one principle - doingwhat’s right for residents andratepayers. By working smarter,we’re finding more money thatcan be put into frontline servicesand better infrastructure.”
“While there may be mixed feel-ings about this decision in our re-gion, it is undeniable that
residents and ratepayers wouldhave been worse off if the mergerwas undone,” said Dr Tiley. “Thecost of ‘unscrambling the eggs’would have been detrimental toCouncil administration and serv-ices, businesses and therefore tothe whole community.”
Some of the benefits to this re-gion since the amalgamation havecome about thanks to the NSWGovernment’s Stronger Commu-nities Fund. $10 million has beeninvested in infrastructure projectsand community projects in theArmidale Regional Council localgovernment area as a result of thefunding which was a one-off allo-
cation to merged councils.According to Dr Tiley, the resi-
dents of Armidale RegionalCouncil can rest assured thatwhen the reins are handed over tothe new councillors in a fewmonths, the community will be ina better place.
“Council elections are less thanseven months away. Until then, wewill keep working hard for thecommunity and ensuring we havea Council that’s in excellentshape,” said Dr Tiley. “The Sep-tember elections will then restorelocal decision-making to our re-gion.”

Ash Wednesday begins the Season of Lent, which spans the daysleading to Easter Sunday. It mirrors the 40 days Jesus spent in thedesert fasting facing the temptation of Satan following his baptism.The purpose of Lent is for Christians to prepare themselves for theHoly Days of Good Friday and Easter Sunday through prayer, repen-tance, and generosity. As we dwell on the temptation of Christ, we arecomforted by the reality that our Lord and redeemer himself enduredtemptation and triumphed over it, and so is able to empathise with usin our weakness, giving us confidence to draw near to God (Hebrews4:15-16).
As we meditate on the death of Jesus on the cross that first GoodFriday, we are confronted again by the horror and reality of our ownsin, and reminded of our desperate need for a saviour. We see God’slove, in willingly giving his own son to die on the cross for us, to paythe penalty that should be ours. As we rejoice in the Empty Tomb ofthe Resurrection on Easter Sunday, our hearts and souls are lifted to-wards God in Heaven, as we celebrate the great victory our King haswon over sin and death, never to die again. A victory all of creationwill see when he returns in glory to fulfil his promise, of taking hispeople to heaven with him where we will share Christ’s victory withhim for eternity.
The year Ash Wednesday is on 1st March. To mark the beginning ofthis most holy of Christian seasons, please come and join us at StJames Anglican Church for a Holy Communion Service according tothe rites of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, followed by morningtea in the hall. If you need assistance with transport, please give us acall in the Parish Office on 6779 1111. Rev. Mark Evers

Guyra Library started in 1947 and asa small girl I remember the first librar-ian, Mrs Rixon, very well. She boardedwith my grandmother and I rememberher as a very stern and serious lady, thesame as my grandmother.
I first started borrowing from the li-brary when we moved to town when Iwas nine years old. When borrowingfrom the library you could only whisper- no noise allowed. Originally Guyrahad 9000 books, one of the biggest li-braries around. It was housed in whatis now the RSL Building. The secondlibrarian was Mr V Prescott.
In 1957 the Library moved acrossthe road to a building purchased byGuyra Shire Council. The then ShirePresident Leslie Thomas Starr, schoolheadmaster Jack Whiteford and ShireClerk John Richardson were the insti-gators. Mr Starr died suddenly while inoffice and the building was named afterhim in appreciation for all his tirelesswork and effort.
Miss Joy Varley (now Finlayson) was
the librarian at the time of the move.With the assistance of Miss MarieHeagney it was a mammoth task tomove to the new building. Around thistime outlying library services werestarted and small schools received a boxof books monthly. Mrs Madge Sole re-members receiving them at Lilygroveschool.
The next librarian was Julie Sole (Val-lis) and she was followed by SheilaFullerton and Bronwen Clark. Bron-wen remained at the library for 28 years.There have been several assistant librar-ians over time including Yvonne Penn,Cath Lockyer and Clare Swinton.
Aimee Hutton took over fromBronwen and is on maternity leave,however she did much of the work tohave today’s celebration. Wendy Warneris the relieving librarian.
On November 2nd, 2011 the pres-ent library was opened and this year wemark 70 years of library service to thetown.

The weekend saw weather conditions that werenot very kind to any sport let alone Lawn Bowls,but never the less both set down games wentahead.
Sunday morning February 19th saw DavidWilcox play Andrew Sparke in Major Singles.David found his game early and went on to opena handy lead 11 shots to 6 shots by end 11. Thiswas never going to be enough as Andrew showedthat he was more than capable of pulling off a vic-tory and this was nearly the outcome as the scoreswere 30 shots all by end 36. David managed todraw the one shot that he needed to win the game31 shots to 30 over 37 ends.
The other game was between Dan Kennedy andJohn Hamel in an Open Singles Semi Final. Danand John went out on the green and played half adozen ends when the weather intervened. Johnhad the run of the green and by end the scoreswere even at 5 shots all but with the weather in-terruptions Dan managed to get the upper handand went on to win 28 shots to 11 shots after 25
ends, both were wet so they called it a game.There will be no Club Championships this week-
