Fish Fossils, History and Railway Relics!Canowindra’s Age of Fishes fossils will come under the global spotlight again next year when some of the world’s top experts on early vertebrate evolution travel here to view the ancient 360 million year-old Devonian Age relics. The palaeontologists will make the field trip here in August from Melbourne where they’ll be attending a major interna-tional conference on vertebrate develop-ment. They’ll be brought here by Professor Alex Ritchie, the eminent Australian Museum palaeontologist who opened up the astonish-ing site on the edge of Canowindra in 1993. “We’ll be bringing a bus load of some 30 to 40 global figures to the site,” says Prof Ritchie, “and I’ll be taking the opportunity to call again on Cabonne Council for the com-plete excavation of the 4,000 or so fossils we know are still buried there.” News of the visit comes at a time when the fossils and the Age of Fishes Museum are a key part of proposals to integrate it with the neighbour-

ing Historical Museum and the derelict rail-way precinct to form a major historical and cultural showplace for Canowindra. The idea is in its infancy at the moment, but will be raised at the next meeting of the Canow-indra Business Chamber on Wednesday August 20th when final year students from Charles Sturt University will present a re-port they’ve drawn up on a comprehensive marketing plan for Canowindra. Warren Kee-dle, manager of the Age of Fishes, is keen on forming an integrated historical precinct, so is the Canowindra Historical Society. Says chamber president Eddy Wilkinson: “We’re looking at a combined museum precinct that can build an income for Canowindra every day.” He’s invited the public to attend the chamber meeting on August 20, starting at 7pm in the Canowindra Bowling Club and stay on for the discussions.

LettersDear Editor,

On 18th August 1966, the battle of Long Tan took place. It was the largest single unit battle fought in the Vietnam War by Aus-sie troops. The Viet Cong were aware of Australia’s 6th Battalion and lay in wait for them, ambushing them in a rubber planta-tion named Long Tan. The Australian troops held off thousands of Vietnamese soldiers in that battle, showing courage and endur-ance, a total of 18 Australians were killed. Long Tan is the most written about conflict in the Vietnam War, but many other battles took place which demonstrated the Austral-ian and New Zealander’s ability to fight side by side and to continue to uphold the true meaning of the ANZAC spirit. A quote by Sir William Deane, Governor-General of Aus-tralia, in 1999, “The ANZAC Spirit - is about courage, endurance, duty and the love of

country, mateship, good humour and the sur-vival of a sense of self-worth and decency in the face of dreadful odds.” On Monday the 18th August at 6.30pm the Canowindra RSL Sub-Branch will lay a wreath at the cenotaph in Memorial Park in remembrance of all those who died in the Vietnam War. Please take the time to remember the fallen on this day.

Wheat Bags Fire Risk- With the cold snap making its way back through town residents should remain vigilant with wheat bags and heat packs following two related fire inci-dents. Avoid using homemade heat packs and don’t use these products to warm beds or spaces where heat cannot escape. When heating wheat bags in the microwave always place a ¾ full glass of water next to them, this ensures the bag doesn’t dry out and ignite.

Canowindra Business Chamber MeetingThe Canowindra Business Chamber has re-cruited the assistance of final year Charles Sturt University Public Relations and Com-munication students who have been working hard to develop a Communication Strategy for Canowindra which will include a poten-tial TV Campaign.

Ques-tions have been compiled by Jenny and Craig Lamond. Lots of prizes have been donated by the businesses of Cowra, Canowindra and Gooloogong. Raffles will be drawn through-out the night. Tickets are $10 each with ta-bles of 8. (Cathy can organise a table for you if you are unable to do so). Bring your own drinks and nibbles. RSVP to Cathy Smith on 0427 248 583 or 6344 3525.

Canowindra Ambulance- A “24/7” Regional Emergency Service

We’ve all read about “fly-in-fly-out” miners in this region, but here in Canowindra our ambulance service depends on the same in-out staffing principle to ensure we have a top grade emergency system for our region. According to Station Officer Gary Murphy this system beats the perennial problem of finding qualified staff in regional areas. His paramedics are fulltime ambulance service professionals based in Sydney who come here for shift work of eight days on duty and six days off, and are on-call seven nights a week. “They enable us to provide a service that’s practically 24/7 for the Canowindra region,” he says. Gary himself is of course Canowindra-based, and until he got the post-ing here four years ago he was four and a half years in Grenfell and manning ambulance services in Sydney, Condobolin, Forbes and Cowra. “Younger people would rather stay in the metro centres,” he says. “Out here the small stations are headed by married couples

who choose to live here, raise kids, and be-come part of the community.” Gary has two ambulances and a rotating team of five of-ficers covering Canowindra and Cargo, Cu-dal, Gooloogong, Mandurama, Woodstock and even Cowra when required to help. His station’s on call for all emergencies – from road smashes to heart attacks, strokes and trauma cases – but he says “most of our work by far involves nursing home and hos-pital transfers. In the past, cases of heart attack, strokes and trauma would go to the Canowindra hospital, but now we’re able to rush them straight to the new hospital and cardiac unit in Orange.” Gary reckons the Canowindra service is going to get even bet-ter, citing the current NSW Ambulance Re-form Plan which is aimed at providing more highly trained intensive care and extended care paramedics -- “a higher clinical level of service” -- in regional centres.

Don’t Be Another Statistic

The Australian rail industry is uniting for this years’ Rail Safety week which goes from 11th to the 17th August. The aim of the week is to warn Australians to be safe around tracks and trains or risk becoming another near hit statistic. Patron of the TrackSAFE Foundation Tim Fischer said, “There are more than 1,000 near hits on Australian railway lines every year.” He is pleading with people to consid-er the impact a hit has not only on the per-son but to the train driver. “In reality, these 1,000 near hits show us that 1,000 people could have ruined their own life, as well as the lives of the train driver, scene attendants, witnesses, and their family. A rail accident af-fects more than just you and that’s the mes-sage the industry is trying to get across this Rail Safety Week,” said Mr Fischer. Although the train lines in Canowindra are no longer active, take this week as a reminder that this is not the case for many other towns, so steer clear of the tracks.

Give Green Army The Clean-Up Job! Skillset Calls To Canowindra

One of the regional service providers of the federal government’s Green Army environ-mental program has called on the Canow-indra community and Cabonne Council to come up with projects that the scheme can tackle. The first round of the national clean-up, in which jobless young people will be employed in teams to carry out conserva-tion and remedial work, is about to get under way, but Canowindra and its region, includ-ing Nangar National Park, are conspicuously absent from the list of jobs. Cabonne Council is said to be interested in the scheme but wants to know how it’ll fit in with its works program and whether there’s a cost before committing itself. According to Craig Ran-dazzo, a key organiser with Skillset in Ba-thurst, which has been appointed a service provider for this region, the question of cost shouldn’t be a drawback to any considera-tion of the scheme. “There’s an investment in time but there’s certainly no cost,” he’s

told The Phoenix. “The Green Army pro-gram is a great opportunity for commu-nity groups and local councils stretched for funds to resource pests and weed control, creek and riverbank clean-up and a host of other environmental remediation at no cost to themselves at all. It represents a crucial saving.” Craig says Skillset needs sponsors from this region, people who will come up with “expressions of interest” on projects that need Green Army attention in the local environment. “We’re after any and all ideas, and we certainly have the resources to deal with them,” he says. “If you take a team of 10 Green Army paid volunteers working 30 hours a week for the stipulated 20 to 24 weeks, the result is more than 6,000 hours of labour.” And he’s inviting local bodies and the council to contact him on 0418 634 886 with proposed projects.

The skills he learnt have created a range of delectable delicacies including a peppermint mousse cake, mud cake slice and a lemon meringue pie. Manag-er Aaron Wright has a love/hate relationship with the new cakes, “they’re naughty, they’re going to make me fat!” Don’t worry Aaron; if we worked there we wouldn’t fit through the door! Benson’s Café, run by Emma Murphy and her husband, is located on Summer Street in Orange. They are now serving Toby’s Es-tate coffee and use fresh, quality produce in their recipes.

IMAGE: Red Cross, celebrating 100 years - The Power of Humanity

Red Cross Women Remembered In Centenary ExhibitionAs part of the world’s largest humanitarian movement, Red Cross has been embedded in Australian life for a century. It all began nine days after the outbreak of World War I at Government House, Melbourne, where Red Cross Australia was born. Thousands of vol-unteers signed up during this period and by the time WWII came around, the charitable organisation had nearly half a million mem-bers. Today almost 1 million Red Cross affili-ates continue to make a positive difference to the lives of people in need every day. This

year, to mark 100 years of the Red Cross, an exhibition was opened on Wednesday 13th August by the Mayor of Albury, Kevin Mack, at Albury Library Museum. “Red Cross: 100 Years” is one of a series of local exhibitions and events to mark the centenary of WWI and the role of the Red Cross during the war years of 1914 to 1918.The exhibition will be displayed for eight months and contains a mix of objects reflecting the work of the or-ganisation which will be accompanied by a short film. The Museum hopes the poignant

exhibition will also remember the mothers, grandmothers, sisters and broken hearted wives of the hundreds of local men who marched off to war all those years ago. The Red Cross is there for people in need regardless of nationality, race or beliefs. They train people in first aid, motivate the next generation to improve their community and ultimately, save lives. This idea took root a century ago and is still going strong today.

Canowindra BowlsOur number 5 pennant side had a great weekend at Tamworth in their state playoffs. There was only one game out of three won by Canowindra, as the opposition was very

strong. The venue was West Tamworth club, who were wonderful hosts with bowls run-ning smoothly all weekend. Congratulations to all our bowlers for their participation in what finished as a great bonding session for our club.

PythonsOn Saturday the Rugby Union boys headed to Grenfell for the elimination semi-final. The Pythons were confident going into the game, gaining possession in the first half. Despite this, the Panthers scored and converted a try. Ben Schaefer replied with a penalty kick but Grenfell squeezed in another try before the second half. Grenfell responded, scor-ing a couple of easy tries and notching up an easy win for them with the final score at 35-15. Although this marks the end of the com-petition for our boys, it’s not the end of the fun. The Python Presentation night will be on Saturday 6th September at the Canowindra Bowling Club. The guest speaker will be Mick Mathers who is a former Wallaby and NSW player and current vice president of NSW rugby. After a successful year from the Wara-tahs we’re sure Mick will have a few great yarns which should make it an interesting night. Tickets are $25 and will be available from the Newsagents.

Junior PythonsThe little Pythons held a fantastic gala day on Sunday. Canowindra was blessed with great weather and great footy skills. There was some excellent defence work which was the result of some keen Under 7’s ready to advance to Under 9’s next year! Our Under 9’s had four tough games. There was a hard fought draw with Cowra in the first match and the last game against Orange City saw a lot of length of the field with tries from each side! All the boys put in a great effort. A big thank you goes out to our loyal sponsors, the committee and all the visitors who made it such a success!

League TagOn Saturday and Sunday the League Tag la-dies played two huge games with two very different results. The former saw them verse Grenfell at Canowindra although the Ti-gresses couldn’t steal a home win with the final score being 12-4. However on Sunday at Cargo they smashed the opposing team 40-4, definitely making up for their loss the day before. The Tigresses displayed great ball control against on Saturday but the Grenfell girls were on their game. Saturdays players player went to Alicia Earsman for her incred-ible defence and bringing the team together. Alicia is constantly working hard to push her team forward. Great work to Krystal Coker for scoring the only try of Saturday. Sunday’s players player went to Jess Coker who got the ball rolling as she scored Sundays first try. Jess shows incredible agility when she gets the ball and scored two tries in total against Cargo, with her sister Krystal scoring one, Caitlin Walker scoring one and Ashley Mclean scoring three brilliant tries. Great work to Mel Rue for her kicks! Two very dif-ferent games although congratulations to the Tigresses for playing two games over the weekend, outstanding!

Youth LeagueOn Saturday the Canowindra Youth League boys versed Peak Hill on their home ground,

unfortunately losing 32-11. The Peak Hill Roosters sit on top of the ladder and the Ti-gers haven’t been able to defeat them as of yet. Canowindra held their ground and dis-played some remarkable defence to stop the Roosters from going forward. Notable men-tion to the teams fullback Bailey Cain for his fantastic defence. Sam Willson and Luke Tarrant also displayed some great defence with their tackles. It was evident that this week’s players player title belonged to Will Middleton who had an outstanding game. Will did everything in his power to push the Tigers forward and not let them give in. Great work to Jayden Brown and Jordi Brown for scoring Canowindra’s only points. There’s hard games to come, but with their steady improvement they may well make the Grand Final. Great work Tigers.

First GradeThe Tigers Youth League men dominated Peak Hill Roosters at Canowindra with a final score of 56-24. This result sets the wheels in motion for a move toward the semi-finals. The Tigers are made up of a great variety of players who always have good games, although this game displayed the full poten-tial of the individuals that form the team. Brendan Traves had one of his best games of the season as he dodged through the Roosters. The teams front rowers Kain and

Aaron Earsman ran straight through the op-position and Brenton Wooley’s damaging defence kept Peak Hill at bay. Hooker, Blake Willson made over 40 tackles with an out-standing performance. Mick Mason scored two tries along with Stuart Scott two, Aaron Earsman two, Adam Miccalef one and Blake Willson one. This week’s players player went to Stuart Scott. The men will be training even harder now to hopefully achieve more great results.

This Week’s GameWith such a great result for the Tigers this season, all three grades are now entering Semi Finals. This weekend on Sunday the 17th of August, Canowindra is hosting the first Semi Final matches at Tom Clyburn Oval. The scheduled times are as follows: League Tag - Grenfell Vs Cargo 9.50amFirst Grade - Trundle Vs Peak Hill 11.00amLeague Tag - Canowindra Vs Eugowra 12.50pmFirst Grade - Canowindra Vs Cargo 2pmPlease be reminded that NO GLASS is to be brought into the sports grounds.

Canowindra Junior LeagueCanowindra Junior League was blessed with beautiful weather on Saturday as they hosted Condobolin in the last game of the year be-fore finals. The day began with the Chris Wil-liams Under 8’s showcasing the talent that has developed over the season and won by 2 converted tries. The Canowindra Hotel Girls League tag held their ground against their opposition despite an age advantage. The Canowindra Services Club Under 10’s lead 26-4 into their second half although unfortu-nately ended up narrowly losing to Condo by 4 points. The last game was the Canowindra Hotel Under 12’s. the boys worked strongly as a team but Condo took the win 38-10. Congratulations to Hayden Hajje for winning the raffle and a big thanks to all the people that worked to make the day possible.
