Improving Health Services For CanowindraA new, young and diverse Canowindra Health Advisory Council is committed to improving the health of the community and providing a voice for local people on health matters. Kerby Lawrence has been appointed as the Chairperson for the Health Advisory Council and is already demonstrating strong leader-ship in her new role, generating a high level of engagement, interest and activity in coun-cil members.

A key focus for the Health Advisory Council is identifying lo-cal needs and ensuring that allied health ser-vices are available to the community. It is the Health Advisory Council’s role to talk to many different people in the commu-nity about the local health issues and to bring

these local health needs and issues to the attention of the Health Service. It works to promote and improve the health of the local community in partnership with the Health Service and other community groups and organisations, participating in the planning of health services, and strengthen and build their networks within the community.

LettersDear Editor,

Re: ‘Green Army’ Edition 284, 6th March The announcement that the new environ-mental workforce for 18-25 year olds – the “green army” – will not be covered by any workers compensation scheme is extremely worrying for people who care about the con-sequences of work place injuries. Under usual work arrangements, employ-ers are required to ensure their employees are protected by a workers compensation scheme and health and safety standards. We are very concerned that members of the “green army” will not be protected in the same way as other workers. These young workers will undertake heavy manual labour including clearing local creeks and waterways, fencing and tree planting – work that carries a high level of physical risk. If these young workers are injured and not covered by a workers compensation scheme which is focused on early intervention and returning employees to work, there is a risk

that if they suffer a serious injury without help, they may not return to work. If state and federal governments are se-rious about providing these young workers with a fair and reasonable opportunity to join the workforce, they should work together to provide them with the same workplace injury protection as other employees in Australia.

20 Years of Beanshed Productions

Canowindra will celebrate twenty years of Beanshed Productions with world premiere performance of “Snapshots”, an ode to the many Beanshed plays that have come be-fore, written by local playwright, parent and director, Helen Giger. Beanshed Productions can be traced back to 1995, when Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, directed by Katrina Walker, was performed on the front veranda of her house at the Cornerstone Community. Originally, the productions were designed to provide home schooled kids opportunities to net-work together and acquire skills in drama and confidence on stage. Over the years, it became apparent that there was a need beyond the home school network to include others who were keen to be involved in the dramatic arts. “In 2000, as it had outgrown the Walker’s front veranda, we began to perform in the Beanshed at Cornerstone,” recalls Helen. “That year we produced Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. There were some challenges working around an operating bean shed - the dressing room was the cool room!” Between 2004 and 2007, Beanshed Pro-ductions were directed by Rosemary Harri-son and Anne-Marie Richards, using Maver-ick musicals, in the Canowindra High School Hall. From 2008, Helen Giger and Trish Bal-combe took over the reins. Over the two decades, Helen estimates at least 50 fami-lies have been involved in Beanshed Produc-tions, and over 200 children. Any past parents or performers are very welcome to attend the special “Reunion Din-ner” to be held after the Saturday night per-formance on 5th April. “I’m looking forward to catching up with old friends and would love some of the old faces to come along,” says original director Katrina Walker. For Reunion Dinner, please phone Helen Giger on 042744188 or email [email protected], or go to the Beanshed Face-book page.

Manildra Group and MSM Donate $600,000 to Drought Appeal

With the extreme heat and lack of rain now producing the worst drought on record in parts of Queensland and NSW, farmers, com-munity groups, agricultural companies and the federal government are teaming up to provide vital aid and relief. Manildra Group and MSM Milling have joined forces to contribute an ”unrivalled” $600,000 to the “We’re For the Bush” Drought Appeal, which is now close to $1.5 million in donations. Both companies have mills in some of the state’s worst-hit drought areas, including Ma-nildra, Narrandera, Gunnedah and Nowra The money has been donated to help farm-ers in NSW who are “struggling to survive on more than 45 million hectares of NSW currently in drought,” and it’s a chance for Manildra Group and MSM to return the sup-port that regional farmers have given over the years.

“Since 1952 farmers have played a pivotal role in the growth and success of the Ma-nildra Group,” says managing director John Honan. “We believe it is important to give back and support the people who support us.” “It’s tough for many, many people at the moment,” MSM Milling’s Bob and Pete Mac Smith remind us. “Most producers are hand-feeding livestock, have been forced to buy fodder and cart water for their animals, and they’re struggling to pay bills and put food on the table for their families.” The Drought Appeal funds are being used to distribute supermarket and retailer gift cards to the Salvation Army, which is re-sponsible for allocating them to needy farm-ing families.

Rawson Homes - A Family AffairRawson Homes have been building in the greater west for over 35 years. In 1978, they were a small family business of 3 brothers. It was during that time that they made a prom-ise to build honest, lasting homes with the service and quality to match. Now it’s fair to say they have kept to that

promise. In fact it’s this philosophy that has turned them into one of NSW and the ACT’s leading home builders all stemming from a business created and still operating in Dubbo today. Peter, Lawrie and Mark Rawson are still at the helm and are very much a part of

the business and new design process. In fact Lawrie was the creator of the Metford & Eden designs now on display in Dubbo and Orange which have both won industry awards. Proving that as a builder he under-stands how to create a home of outstand-ing functionality, practicality and quality throughout. ‘We work on creating and launching a minimum of 4 new designs each year’, says Lawrie. ‘It is very much a team event as we endeavour to ensure the layout, design features and so much more in every design provide for a better quality of living for the family that build their home with us’. Rawson Homes, real quality, service and price is what sets them apart-experience the Rawson real difference today. Display homes are open daily in Dubbo and Orange.

Tips for TowingHooking up, be it with a boat, caravan or trailer, can be tricky— Towing Capacities – all modern vehicles have a rated towing capacity. This includes the trailer or caravan, as well as all its con-tents, so people intending to tow a caravan should include everything they plan to take with them, including full water tanks, and read the caravan’s safety weight and com-pare this to the vehicle’s towing capacity. Brakes – there are two common types of trailer brakes – the older type is mechanical, which triggers a hydraulic system that reacts when the tow vehicle decelerates. New trail-ers and caravans have an electric braking system that is much easier to control. Make sure you have your brakes checked before you hit the road. Other gear – it is a legal requirement for drivers to have a clear view of the road at all times, so you should consider fitting larger mirrors or mirror extenders, especially if you are towing a caravan. Spreading the load – the way a trailer or

caravan is loaded is important. Put too much weight at the front or too much at the back of the caravan/trailer and it will negatively af-fect the handling, perhaps leading to a crash Maintenance – most trailers are stored in the back yard and are not used that of-ten, so it is important that they be regularly checked and maintained. Wiring can easily erode, tyres can crack from old age, wheel bearings can dry up and braking systems can seize. The same goes for caravans. They may also be fitted with gas cylinders and cook-ing systems which must be checked before travelling. Tow driving tips – allow extra distance in traffic. Apply throttle and brakes more gently. If the caravan/trailer starts to sway do not apply the town vehicle’s brakes. If the cara-van/trailer is fitted with independent electric brakes, apply them slowly. If not, continue at a steady speed or accelerate slowly. Engage in a lower gear for better control downhill and if possible pull off the road to allow faster traffic to pass and stop more often to rest.

CATCH of the Week

Sarah Dziergas 3 year old nephew Elijah Jes-sup caught his first fish! He caught a Carp at the Belubula River using corn kernels for bait. It weighed 4.5 pounds and was not re-turned to the water due to the fact it is a pest species. Remember that if you catch a Carp that you must dispose of the fish as it is a threat to other Australia species in the water. Great catch Elijah!

Canowindra Rail Precinct set for Rehabilitation

Students from UNSW Facility of the Built environment will be returning to look at the Canowindra Rail Precinct again as part of the BE OutThere program which is about engag-ing with communities and providing students with an opportunity to work with clients in an inter-disciplinary setting. The client in this case, includes the Canow-indra community, Cabonne Council, John Holland Group (CRN) and community stake-holders such as the Business Chamber, His-torical Society, Age of Fishes Museum. The disciplines of the students will range from planners, landscape architects, architects, through to interior architects and industrial designers. The intent of the course is to explore pos-

sibilities for the use of the precinct, and finding ways of giving it back to the com-munity as a public domain as well acknowl-edging the historical context of the rail and grain handling. The first group of students researched and surveyed the community and site in which various themes were es-tablished that highlighted the potential and opportunities for the site. One of these was the historical and cul-tural aspects, taking into consideration the significance of the precinct. Various pres-entations where made from the respective stakeholders including Lachlan Valley Rail by Lawrence Ryan and Eddy Wilkinson.

High School Students show how to “Back Off” a BullyMany readers will be heartened to learn that our article last week about the abuse and bullying in Gaskill Street finally got the har-assment stopped. But the account’s opening lead also dis-tressed some Canowindra High School teach-ers and parents who felt it gave the impres-sion the school is responsible for bullying. This was never our intent, of course it was simply an association of subject, announcing the school’s “Back Off Bully” day and show-ing what bullying can lead to if it’s not effec-tively dealt with. And the school’s “Back Off Bully” work-shop, held on Friday, certainly vividly under-lined the attention we must now focus on bullying and how to deal with it, along with the depression and despair that it can cause. The event was presented by year 12 stu-dents, and they used a series of mediums, including a power-point presentation, pave-ment art and even E-Man from the hip-hop dance and pop music group Justice Crew to

get the anti-bullying message across. The presenters opened with an overview of what bullying means to them, “not cool” and what to do at school to get it stopped. Most important step? Report it. “Let us know.” And the session pointed to the re-sponsibility that the whole school commu-nity, students, staff and parents, share in combating bullies. E-Man told of being bullied himself as a kid and how he got through it by talking about it to his parents. The essential message was “Don’t try to deal with it alone. Talk to some-one.” And he added personal flair to his talk with a demonstration of hip hop dance. A representative from Black Dog addressed the students about the damaging effect of bullying, acute depression - highlight-ing another important seminar for parents, Navigating Teenage Depression, set down for Monday March 31 from 6pm-7pm in the school hall.

Arthritis Awareness Week 2014Sunday 23 March to Saturday 29 March

Arthritis is often referred to as a single dis-ease. Arthritis-related problems include pain, stiffness, inflammation and damage to joint cartilage and surrounding structures. This can result in joint weakness, instability and deformities that can interfere with the most basic daily tasks. Arthritis is the major cause of disability and chronic pain in Australia, with 3.85million Australians affected. The most common forms of arthritis are Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Gout, Ankylosing spondylitis, Juvenile arthritis, Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) and Scleroderma. Arthritis is not yet curable. While the con-dition is usually manageable, it invariably impacts on a patient’s quality of life and in-cludes varying degrees of discomfort and pain.

Winter Wants and Staying SlimLadies, I am sure we are all aware that winter is approaching by the extra chill we have been experiencing in the mornings and nights. Time to put the spray tans, shorts, summer dresses, fresh fruit and razors away! Yes, we tend to let ourselves go in winter due to the fact we cover ourselves up from head to toe. We tend to let our hair grow and our figure slide by indulging in hot roasts, pasta with creamy sauces, hot chocolates and take away. It is simply too cold outside to go for a walk or go to the gym, and we tend to not worry as we layer ourselves up and no one can tell if you have put on a few pounds. What women really want are ideas for keep-ing slim in winter without being exposed to the chilli elements and wearing warm clothes that don’t make you look like a Michelin man! Invest in some warm, good quality jeans, tights and pants. These types of clothing can be worn with anything! It is also smart to invest in some good quality knits (wool) if possible and thick, warm trench coats. Want

to wear a dress? No problem, buy some opaque tights and wear them underneath (at least you won’t have to worry about how white your legs are) – and a good quality trench coat never goes astray. Usually when your hands and feet are warm; you keep warm, so buy some gloves and stylish boots to keep toasty and fashionable. You can still eat yummy hot foods dur-ing the winter months, just remember that if you eat healthy now, you will be ready for shorts season as soon as the temperature rises! Apart from drinking plenty of water, drink hot green teas, cook roast chicken in-stead of roast pork, or grill some fresh fish. You can also exercise indoor without having to go outside. Invest in a yoga dvd or pi-lates or even a treadmill. Ultimately, winter is about snuggling and relaxing at home on the weekend instead of going out, so enjoy yourself, and indulge in what you like just in small proportions.

Website integration is key

The internet consists of billions of websites, and unless you are ranking first on popular search engines, your customer’s can’t find you. Websites need to be promoted!! Not only does your website need to be integrated across all your mainstream advertising, but more importantly, across social media. Search engines such as Google are now considering your social media footprint to determine the importance of the content on your website. Social media is the primary way your customers share content, and search engines are now looking at a website’s pres-ence on social networks as an indicator of its authority, relevancy and reputation. If your website doesn’t have any connection to so-cial networks, you are missing out on what is rapidly becoming the most important aspect of getting your website found in searches. Social media is becoming increasingly popular, and something that your customers are using daily. Social media integration of-fers you a greater chance of increased web-site traffic, and what’s more, you can easily broadcast articles, news, offers and adver-tise through social media. It also helps you build a closer relationship with your custom-ers and engage in real-time communication with your target audience. At Adloyalty, we not only build websites, but we also help provide you with the stra-tegic framework to promote your website to ensure your digital presence is working hard for you. It’s simply not enough to provide an online space for your business anymore, you need to be ensuring your customers know how and where to find you.

YOUTH WEEK COMPETITION PUTS FOCUS ON CYBER SAFETYCYBER SAFETY is the subject of a Cabonne Council competition to mark Youth Week, which will be held from April 4-13. With cyber bullying becoming more preva-lent, this competition encourages young peo-ple to relate their own experiences or look at ways to help overcome the problem. The competition is open to Cabonne resi-dents from 12 to 25 years or students attend-ing any school in Cabonne Shire and incorpo-rates any manner of art or prose, including paintings, draw-ings, photographs, short sto-ries and poems. Entries close on Tuesday 8 April 2014 and details can be obtained from Council’s web-site www.cabonne.nsw.gov.au or schools in Cabonne Shire.

THE AUSTRALIAN working dog is synony-mous with our agricultural heritage, so it is an honour for Molong to host the NSW Sheepdog Championships each year. The championships have become a key feature of Molong’s event calendar and, af-ter the recent rain, the town’s Recreation Ground this week provided a spectacular backdrop for the best dogs in the State to demonstrate their skills. Cabonne Council is proud to provide tro-phies for the placegetters in the NSW Novice Trial and I was delighted to host a mayoral morning tea. The championships bring many visitors to Molong and our Shire and we encourage them all to explore Cabonne Country and dis-cover what makes it so special.

THE SPOTLIGHT will be on Canowindra next month when parts of the feature movie Stranger-land, starring Nicole Kidman, Jo-seph Fiennes and Hugo Weaving, will be filmed in the town. Canowindra’s historic main street will be the setting for part of the movie, with pro-duction to take place between April 4-11. Gaskill Street will be closed at times dur-ing this period but the film’s producers are working with local businesses and residents to ensure there is as little disruption as pos-sible. Hopefully, the production will provide a valuable boost to Canowindra’s economy. Canowindra’s heritage street has been a popular location for film, television and advertising shoots in recent years. It’s un-derstood the Strangerland location scouts looked at a number of sites, but couldn’t find anything that matched Canowindra’s historical character.

THE BELLS LINE EXPRESSWAY and the right to farm are two subjects Cabonne Council may submit as possible motions to the National Local Government General As-sembly in Canberra from June 15-18. The Australian Local Government Associa-tion is calling for motions under this year’s theme “Getting Down to Business”. Council will make a final decision at its April meeting on what mo-tions it submits for considera-tion. Because the conference clashes with the scheduled date for Cabonne’s June meeting, the Ordi-nary Meeting will now be held a week later on June 24.

THE DEVELOPMENT of Cabonne’s 2014/15 Budget and Draft Operational Plan is well under way and draft documents should be available for public comment and submission by early May. Community input is important in finalis-ing the Budget, so I encourage all residents to have a look at the draft documents and have your say. Council plans to hold an Ex-traordinary Meeting on June 10 to consider community submissions before adopting the final Operation Plan and Budget at its Ordi-nary Meeting on June 24.

I’M EXTREMELY pleased to welcome Alf Cantrell and Arthur Falconer to the Cabonne Country Tourism Advisory Committee. They were appointed this week after nomi-nations were called to fill a vacancy created by Fiona Ferguson resignation. Both have ex-cellent credentials. A long time Yeoval resident, Alf has exten-sive experience in organising and running events and recently opened the Banjo Pater-son Museum in Yeoval. Arthur has extensive experience in sales and management and has been involved with the Can-owindra Balloon Challenge Group for the past four years. I wish to thank Fiona Ferguson for her dedi-cation and outstanding contribution to the committee. Her vast experience in the tour-ism industry will be difficult to replace.

A NUMBER of Cabonne organisations have recently received Federal and State Govern-ment grants for very worthwhile projects. Many of these grants were identified in Council’s Grantblast newsletter which is pro-duced every two months. Grantblast can be viewed by going to the Development section of Council’s website, then clicking on Economic Development. You can also contact Council to have each edi-tion emailed to you. If you think there is a suitable grant for your organisation or project and you want further information, please don’t hesitate to contact Council’s Community Business Development Officer Hannah Dunlop who can provide very valuable assistance.

Canowindra Squash The Annual Forbes Shire Council Squash Open was held over the weekend of the 15th and 16th March 2014. It was once again an extremely fun and very social weekend of squash. Everyone had the opportunity to watch the open and state player’s games and to also meet Australian Women’s Squash Champion Great Heather McKay which was very inspirational. The organisers of the event did a wonderful job and it was a credit to all involved.Mark Adams and Amber Meurs from Canow-indra Squash Club travelled over to Forbes and took part in this event. Mark played in the Men’s B-Grade, which meant he had some very tough competition over the weekend. Mark’s first game was against an opponent from Boorowa. Mark gave it his all but unfortunately he was de-feated in this game. Mark’s second two games were against players from Forbes and with a lot of precise line drives and front wall drop shots Mark won both of these games. Having won two of his three games, Mark earned himself a spot in the Men’s B-Grade Consolation Plate final against Forbes local Mark Webb. The game started out in Mark Adams’ fa-vour with him jumping to an early lead. Mark then sustained an injury part way through the match, but in a true fighting spirit Mark sol-diered on and after a gruelling 30 minutes of squash and a lot of hobbling around the court he had a very deserving win.

Amber played in the Ladies B-Grade and her opponents were from Queanbeyan, Forbes, and Grenfell. Amber convincingly won her first three matches which earned her a place in the Ladies B-Grade Final. In the final Am-ber played Tracey Taylor from Grenfell. This was Amber’s toughest match of the weekend as Tracey had incredibly hard to return serves and played an all-round great game of squash. The game was neck and neck all the way and the leader changed several times during the match. Amber’s de-termination and ability to return some very tricky shots out of the back corners along with her strong backhand volley shots and boasts off the side walls saw her victorious against Tracey in the final. Congratulations to both Mark and Amber for their successful weekend of squash.

League TagResults 4th Annual Western Region League Tag Challenge – 22nd March The Canowindra Tigresses vs. Cowra Mag-pies in the first game of the day, with a suc-cessful result leading them to then play Or-ange CYMS. Unfortunately Canowindra were beaten by Orange CYMS. Lithgow were in the lead against Dubbo West Side in the semi-final until a break through try was scored by Dubbo in the last few seconds of the game, advancing them to the final. Orange CYMS had the difficult match of having to verse last year’s winners Orange Hawks, to which CYMS were suc-cessful. Orange CYMS winning streak lead them to an overall win for the day against Dubbo West Side. The Canowindra Tigresses played extremely well for their first game of the season. They were the first team to score in the first round out of all of the Woodbridge Cup teams. The carnival was attended by Condobolin, Eu-gowra, Grenfell and Gooloogong. The award for best player of the first game went to Ali-cia Earsman, and best player of the second game went to Caitlin Walker. Canowindra would like to thank all teams for their co-operation in making this a success-ful day. Thank you to Canowindra, Condobo-lin, Eugowra, Grenfell, Gooloogong, Dubbo West Side, Blackheath, Lithgow, South City Wagga, Bathurst St Pats, Blayney, Cowra, Orange Hawks and the winners for the day
