Issue #5
What a weekend! Bikers,cowboys and families flocked to our lovely town from all over the place. The street parade was a lot of fun. The re-enactment of thunderbolts arrest was well done by the Upjohn boys, Bill Sr, Tim and Will. Many other schools and community groups were represented in the street parade. Harleys were everywhere with some amazing bikes in the show and shine. Alma park was buzzing with activity and the billy cart derby was enjoyed by participants and spectators alike.
By all reports the numbers of folk in town this year for the Thunderbolts Festival were down a little on last year. This didnt detract from the fun and enjoyment had by all. Thank you to all the sponsors, organisers, store holders, SES and many others that all are helped make the event run smoothly and Uralla better. We will count the days until next years event. ABC will have a bit of feature on Friday night at 6:45pm
Citizens beware!
Here at The Uralla Post we have had a number of reports from locals being approached via email and direct mail to pay for services, products and more often than not advertising for businesses that they have not ordered and not approved to be used. The usual scam runs like this, they send you an invoice claiming you owe them for the aforementioned ad, product or service. Its not normally a huge amount of money as they hope you will just pay ti in the course of your bill paying. What business owner is going to question a $30-$40 bill when he has others sitting on the desk worth hundreds of dollars. Be aware and vigilant, if you receive a bill for something you didnt order then dont pay it. The consumer credit code strictly prohibits this practice. If you have any so called bills that you would like to share with us, make a copy or print it off and we will investigate it further. If we name the scammers it will help others avoid it.
Is it home? Confined in your yard where it is not getting into mischief or harming anyone else or their property? You may think that your is the best one ever but not everyone else may do. Funny that it is always a good tame dog that harms others and their controlled pets. We have a lovely village that is slowly getting a bad rep for dog faeces littering the streets and parks. Children playing in Alma Park run the risk of disease and illness due to the dog faeces in the play area. We have two off leash areas and Alma Park is not one of them but locals continually ignore this fact. The areas are the rest area on the northern side of town where the statues are and the cricket common at restricted times. It is hoped that all would clean up after their dogs even when using an off leash area. There are steep fines for owners who fail to be responsible for their dogs including the following;
Dog not on a lead in public place = $220 Failure to remove dog faeces = $275 Failure to prevent dog from escape = $220 A full list of the penalties is available from the local council office. With this in mind, why is our council not more active in helping to eradicate the problem? You would think it is in everyones best interest including the dogs, owners and the general public including visitors to our town. Concerned Resident

Memorial Ball
The Ball and Auction was a huge success. 170 tickets were sold and to date $20,000 has been raised, which is absolutely amazing. It makes you appreciate this wonderful, kind and generous community which we are fortunate to be a part of. Mandy was an amazing mother, sister, aunt, partner & friend. She had a smile that would brighten up anyones day, a huge heart and a beautiful warm personality. She was loved by everybody and touched all our lives and made the My 2c worth, world a much brighter place. This tragic event left a void in our hearts. When we were briefed before the recent elections, it was made quite clear that We would like to thank everyone for dogs were a significant problem for all the effort in volunteering their time council. to make the ball happen. Plans are It seems increasingly obvious to this under way to perhaps make the ball resident that we need a full time ranger to an annual event enforce the existing rules. Dog rules, Thank you Uralla, spitting and littering rules, enforce the rules we have and it will help make Uralla Leesa Press, Dick Geldof & better. Rebecca White Duncan, editor
Two thumbs up
After a complaint was made about the state of the creek, Council has assigned a few folk a few days a week to fix up the creek running through town Well done to Council and particularly well done to the staff on council that were so polite and helpful to a local when enquiring about what was happening.
This week we had the streets swept! Alleviating many complaints about litter, in particular cigarette butts in the stormwater gutters. These drain straight into our creeks. So we will keep the frogs alive a little longer.
Thanks Dr hughes for your 33 years of service to our community. We welcome Dr Ricardo Alkhouri as the new GP in town
