The Canowindra Phoenix May 15

Keeping The Community Heart Beating What a community we have here in Canow-indra. The money has been raised and vital lifesaving equipment will soon be available at the Canowindra Sports Oval. This amazing show of community support was prompted by local Lisa Cartwright, after a life threat-ening incident occurred at the Canowindra Swimming Pool which she manages. The equipment that saved the life of a young boy was however not available at the local sports oval. “I was shocked to find that this equipment was not at the sports oval”, Lisa said. “There are so many sports groups, com-munity events and school events held at the sports oval each year and this lifesav-ing equipment is vital. I was approached by Cheryl and the Canowindra Phoenix team and they offered to help promote the cause. We decided on a raffle and the Phoenix

started a business challenge by kick start-ing the donations off with $100, and setting the challenge for other businesses to do the same”. Due to an overwhelming response the money that has been raised has not only been able to purchase the Automated Exter-nal Defibrillator and Oxygen Resuscitation Kit, but has also purchased a St John’s First Aid Kit and in conjunction with the Sports Trust, the remaining money will be allocated to further first aid equipment. Lisa went on to say that this lifesaving equipment is all part of basic first aid train-ing and that each club will have someone trained to use it. Well done Lisa and well done to the com-munity of Canowindra!

LettersDear Editor,All members of the community should be watching carefully how this government is working to make; 1. The poorest sector of the community even poorer; co-payments to visit your GP and consequent referrals; 2. Increasing fuel excise when fuel is es-sential for those of us living in the regions, while not changing the rebate to farmers and miners. 3. Looking to reduce minimum wages;4. Preventing the growth of the Solar and Wind industries. The base line of their objectives is to make us a USA look alike with working poor and wealthy supporters of unfair & unequal taxa-tion. The rot started with John Howard when the country had more money than sense. Labour made some errors in rolling out schemes to help us avoid a severe recession in the GFC. The costs to the country would have been much greater under a Hockey / Corman combination.

All citizens who rely on our government have my sympathy

Thumbs Up Thumbs Down THUMBS UP To Tommy Jeffs for volunteering his own time and money to decorate the shop windows across from his café. Eve-ryone is enjoying the different themes. Keep up the good work!

THUMBS DOWN The railing around the football ground is in the way when people are trying to watch the game from their car.

THUMBS DOWN It was disappointing to find only one gate in the new railing around the football oval. It’s a shame there isn’t a sec-ond gate near the toilets to make access easier for the public.

THUMBS UP Thumbs Up To Council at last for whipper snippering the centre of Rodd Street. Shame it wasn’t before all the visitors came to town.

Do you suffer from PAIN but don’t know where to start?

Call for our free advice.

Because you matter!Caring for our community

Bone weakening is a common problem asso-ciated with aging. In most people, sometime during your 30s, your bone mass will begin to gradually decline. For women, that bone loss can significantly speed up during the first 10 years after menopause. This is the period when osteoporosis often develops, provided you’re not doing anything to counteract it, that is. Those with osteopo-rosis are at increased risk of height loss, frac-tures of the hips/bones and chronic pain. Certain nutrients, including omega-3 fat, calcium, vitamin D, K2, and magnesium, are also critical for strong bones—as is exercise, especially weight-bearing exercises. One of the best ways to ensure you’re getting enough of all of them is to get regular sun ex-posure to optimize your vitamin D levels, and to eat a diet rich in fresh, raw whole foods, which will also maximize a wide variety of other natural minerals. Calcium: Raw milk from pasture-raised cows and green leafy vegetables are best. Try making a bone broth! Magnesium: Eat loads of Seaweed, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and avocados which are rich in magnesium. Industrial ag-riculture has depleted magnesium in our soil and is personally the only thing I supplement with. If you would like a top quality, practi-tioner strength magnesium supplement, I stock them in the clinic. Vitamin K2: Grass-fed organic animal prod-ucts (i.e. eggs, butter, and dairy), Brie, Gouda and fermented vegetables (best to make your own) are rich in Vitamin K2 and essential for healthy bones!

The RSPCA’s TOP FIVE quirky animal

cruelty call outs that weren’t

1. A person called about an abandoned goat that had been left unfed for days, which was actually an abandoned mattress in a pad-dock.

2. A highly distressed woman called about a mini crocodile in her backyard which was threatening the lives of her children. After receiving a photograph from the caller the animal was identified as a blue-tongue lizard. 3. An inspector went to rescue a bird that was heard trapped in the roof for a number of days. It was in fact the smoke alarm bat-tery signal to change the battery. 4. Two security dogs had managed to get themselves ‘tangled’ on a tether. When the Inspector arrived at the property both dogs came running out without any problems. The Inspector had to explain to the informant the process of dog mating.

5. Several complaints of two cows in a pad-dock with no shelter. These are two steel cows in a field just outside of the town of Nowra on the NSW South Coast.

IMAGE: Thelma Scoble

100 Years A LadyCanowindra local Thelma Scoble (nee Nash) will be celebrating her 100th birthday on 18th May. Born on this day in a small house in Canowindra in 1914, she was the eldest of nine children and spent her early years at Wollombeen, between Canowindra and Cudal. Thelma recalled her early childhood with thoughts of waking early and having to hand milk five cows, before mounting her horse and riding seven miles to her local school. When she was being courted by her late husband Ron, she said. “My mother used to roll an apple or orange down our long hall at 10pm and this was the boy’s notice that it was time to get on their horse and leave for the evening.” Thelma married Ron when she was 26 and went on to spend a wonderful 25 years together. They had 3 children, Marion, Kay and David, who are all still alive today and are a very important part of Thelma’s life. Thelma also has 8 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren which bring her much joy and love. Thelma said, “I never went out of the house without having my hair done, make up on and smartly dressed.” Thelma was heavily in-volved in the community and was well known

as a fantastic cook and a good organiser. Her cream puffs were legendary and she was not to be beaten at the local show with these delicacies. She also organised cater-ing for weddings, community functions and was president of the Hospital auxiliary and Red Cross and she was Treasurer of the Uniting Church for many years. When her husband died suddenly Thelma decided to take over the lead role in their business which at the time was called Farm Supplies Canowindra, the now local CRT franchise. Her organisational skills came to the fore, and she was one of six businesses in Canowindra and the first women who be-gan Combined Rural Traders (CRT). Thelma went onto say “My life is all about family and my strong Christian faith and church attend-ance, and having the respect of your fam-ily and friends.” She believes that she has made it to her 100th year by not smoking or drinking and always working hard. For her 100th Birthday she will be joined by many family and friends to celebrate this wonder-ful milestone. We wish this loved and re-spected lady a very Happy Birthday.

Canowindra Low on Council’s List for 2014-5 Road Improvements

Cabonne Council has announced its allocat-ing nearly $12 million for road works through-out the shire over the coming new financial year, but there’s not much joy in the draft budget for Canowindra. While the council’s planning road “future-proofing” projects costing between $220,000 and almost $1.1 million on Davys Plain, Bow-en Park, Lake Canobolas, Iceley. Euchareena and Spring Terrace roads, there’s only one job proposed for Canowindra – “work rang-ing from $45,000 to $75,000” for Blatchford Street. Otherwise, Canowindra will share $120,000 with Molong in a task force study aimed at improving the approaches, signposting and overall image that each town presents to visi-tors. We’ll also see another $120,000 allocated for a pathway linking the Canowindra Pool intersection with Grant’s Bridge to upgrade pedestrian access across the river to South Canowindra. Mayor Ian Gosper says the $11.8 million dedicated for shire roads “represents almost a third of the council’s proposed $38 million

expenditure in the next financial year.” He says a recent community survey showed that “85 percent of Cabonne resi-dents considered roads the most important service delivered by the council. “That’s why we have increased our roads budget by $2.6 million – a rise of more than 28 percent.” The draft budget calls for increases in wa-ter, sewage and waste management charges – water up 10 percent for the two financial years ending 2016, sewage services up 2.3 percent next year and an “average annual increase” of three percent in waste manage-ment charges over 10 years. Good news for the entire shire, however, is that rates are not going to rise this com-ing year. The council says it’s not going to take up a 2.3 percent rate increase offered by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal to all councils as part of the state govern-ment’s current drive to reduce their depend-ence on state funding.

My House My HomeAs mentioned in my last edition of My house My home I discussed that we would be taking letters from any of your decorating dilemmasI was so excited to have received two letters for this edition. Well done to those who wrote in. Please don’t forget to send in any questions for next months issue. It is always good if you can enclose a photo so I can see what you are looking at. I would like share with you a couple of letters that we received.

Q: Hi Kim, I recently constructed a padded bed head for my bedroom and now I realize that I have too much of the same colour hap-pening in the space. What could I change to make the room appear more inviting? Christine, Eugowra

A: Hi Christine, well done for having a go! and constructing a bed head. They have great impact in a bedroom space. But don’t de-spair about the colour of the bed head there are some simple solu-tions for you to make the space more invit-ing.1. Coloured cushions and a throw in similar tonings as the cush-ions will make a big impact.2. Change the wall colour behind the bed head so it doesn’t look

like it’s disappearing into the wall.3. Wallpaper a feature wall behind the bed.4. Add some new bed side lamps with a col-oured lamp shade.I hope this helps.

Q: Hi Kim, We would like to redecorate our 13-year-old daughter’s bedroom. The room is small with a cathedral ceiling. I would like some colour options and advice on whether, we should paint the ceiling the same colour as the room. It is very small. What are the current trends for teenagers? She likes stars.Carol in Canowindra

A: Hi Carol, It is my experience that teenage girls change their mind quite a lot over those years from 13 to 18 so I would suggest to go for a neutral colour like white for the walls and ceiling. I would address the ceiling the same as the walls so it doesn’t break up the visual space making the actual ceiling height look low. This will give you colour splash op-tions. At the moment the trend for teenage girls is bright so choose your daughter’s favourite colour and go bright in Cushions, lamps, bed-room chair and Mirror. You commented that she liked stars, so you need to hunt down a star shape mirror or a lampshade that has stars in the bright colour you have selected. If you can’t find these items in the colour you are needing you may have to paint a mirror frame or stencil a star cut out on a white lampshade. Don’t be afraid to experiment! As your daughter grows and her taste changes you can easily give her a new col-

IMAGE CAPTION: Eugowra Murals

Wall Art Breathes Life Into Eugowra Third Year Running

They say third times the charm and for Eu-gowra this weekend that was certainly the case. Artists flocked from all over Australia to help create works of art around the town, along with Mother’s Day market stalls, dog training, car shows and more. The artists form a group known as the Letterheads who “keep the traditional skills of sign writ-ing alive” to quote Pat Smith, a supplier for Alupanel Distributors, who help transport the materials. Jodie Greenhalgh is the mastermind be-hind the murals. When asked where her in-spiration came from she replied, “As a town, Eugowra was dying. I’d watch buses drive straight through without stopping every day.” Together with her friend Christine they had

the idea to paint the town in keeping with its history and culture and the result of their effort can be viewed on every street. It’s American-Australian Rudy Kistler’s first time at the event. Rudy, with help from his wife, created a cheeky-eyed kelpie lying on a chequered blanket. The 3-D chalk draw-ing can be viewed on the pavement outside the Newsagents. Local schoolchildren also helped by sketching their interpretations of the dog’s daydreams down the path. It’s another first this year for Australian Horse Drawn Services who have been transporting happy locals through the streets with the help of their horses, Ned and Oscar. Pos-sibly one of the most interesting murals is the WWII scene drawn on the wall of Edward

Oliver StoneOliver has lived in Canowindra for 47 years, and was born in Boston, UK, and moved here when he was 5. He is married to Karen, who works as a vet in Cowra. Oliver works on a farm which is located on the Eugowra Road and is 1200 acres in size. Oliver loves working on his farm because he loves the daily challenge and being his own boss and doing what he loves - growing good crops. The crops he grows include canola, wheat, barley and occasionally legumes. He also runs planting variety trials with DPI funded by GRDC. Oliver starts his day with a cup of tea and listens to the ABC, reviewing his jobs for the day Oliver loves seeing new crops coming through, setting and achieving goals.In his spare time he likes to get away, to bike ride, swim and go to the beach. His favourite food is toad in the hole, shep-herd’s pie, lemon meringue pie, and his fa-vourite drink – bourbon and coke. In 5 years’ time he wants to still be farm-ing with retirement planned when he reaches 60, and then give back to the younger farm-ing generation.

BABY Talk

Did you know that babies up to at least six months old (preferably older) must be re-strained in a rearward facing capsule or car restraint? And from at least six months old to four years a child must be secured in ei-ther rearward or forward facing restraint with an inbuilt harness? Booster seats can be used from four years old up to the age of seven or older. Recent changes to Australian Standards mean that all car restraints now have shoulder height markers, which make it easier to know when it is time to move to the next level of restraint. The weight of the child is no longer used as an indication.

BOOK Worm

Tapestry by Fiona McIntoshSpecial Price $24.99

How did the real life Earl of Nithsdale escape the Tower of London in 1715? In this daring time-slip novel, master storyteller Fiona McI-ntosh suggests the answer lies at Ayres Rock in 1972.

In 1978, Jane Maxwell is celebrating her engagement to Will, a handsome American geophysicist, but though she should be deliri-ously happy, she is plagued by doubts. When tragedy leaves Will hanging between life and death, Jane’s guilt makes her determined to save him ... somehow. In 1715, the Earl of Nithsdale joins the doomed Jacobite rebellion for Scottish inde-pendence. But the cause is lost and the Earl is sentenced to be beheaded. On a desperate and dangerous quest to find some answers, Jane finds herself swept away and trapped in the past. Convinced that saving Nithsdale will also save Will, Jane embarks on a daring and audacious plot to rescue the Earl from the Tower of London. [It is a true fact that the Earl was rescued from the Tower by changing clothes with his wife on the day before the ex-ecution]. Past and present become entwined in a gripping race against time - and both will be changed by one woman’s determination.

Local Business Wins in Central West Orana Business Awards

Headquartered in Canowindra, local business owners Conni Christensen and Eddy Wilkin-son were awarded the Excellence in Export category for their software business, The Synercon Group. Synercon develops niche software, known as (a.k.a) information gov-ernance software that is used for developing taxonomies and other information govern-ance tools. Conni and Eddy founded Syner-con in 1998 after both working in IT. Conni and Eddy created the software themselves which they implemented in their own IT con-sultancy business. After a client had seen the software in use, they insisted on buying their own copy, and after 1 year of trading as a consultancy business, they began their new venture in developing their niche software. The business has grown substantially since then with offices located in Sydney, Canowin-dra and in London, and export clients around the world. Conni and Eddy moved to Canowindra in 2010 to escape the city life and they enjoy

the ambience of the country lifestyle. “Living in metropolitan areas for most of our lives, it was nice idea of moving to the country to es-cape the hamster wheel. We can work from home in our pyjamas and no one would ever know!” Conni said. Together Conni and Eddy have over 50 years’ experience in the IT industry. They are delighted to have won this award, and to receive local recognition for their efforts. “Because we are such a niche business, not everyone knows what we do and what we have achieved, so it is nice to be recognised for our hard work and determination”, Eddy said. Synercon is currently working with Nation-al Archives Australia to develop new models for automating retention and disposal of digi-tal records in Commonwealth government agencies that will cement Australia’s posi-tion as leader in information management.

Get your team together and book in at the club 6344 1342.Men’s BowlsOur pennants are all finished for 2014. Our last games resulted in the no 5s having a 4-2 victory over Cowra & the no 6s beating Eu-gowra 6-0. As mentioned last week Canow-indra already have to go to Glenbrook to play for zone. In the no 6s we had a very comfort-able win over Eugowra with even Duncan win-ning his first pennant game for the season. The 5s against Cowra, Phil Jones was the

only winner with a big win of 28-10 with the other 2 teams only just going down by a cou-ple of shots each. Well done again boys. Last Saturday we had only one game of comp bowls with J Bohanna & V Mirto def. P Jones & D Beath 26-14 in the Major Pairs semi-final. They now go on to play C & B Webb in the final. No bowls drawn for next week, the ladies have a big 2 day carnival. Hope you have a good weekend girls. If some of the men want a game ring Mick Beath at Gooloogong, they have a triples day.

Woodbridge Cup Teams lose in nail bitersThe Woodbridge Cup men’s and league tag representative teams had narrow losses on the weekend in Dubbo. The men’s team, which competed in the Western Cup Quad Series, had two games on the day, winning the first game against the Centennial Coal Cup team convincingly 40 – 0. “Considering the games were only 20 min-ute halves, the score shows we put on some entertaining football,” Coach Dean Stanbury said. The final was a fast and action packed game played against the Castlereagh league team. Despite leading 16-4 at half time, the Woodbridge Cup team ended up losing 24-20. “We played some good football in the final, but there was a 10 minute period in the second half where we lost our spark de-fensively. It was a good day overall and I am proud of the boys, they played their hearts out!” said Stanbury. The Woodbridge Cup League Tag team also played a hard match against the Group 10 team, narrowly losing late in the game 6-0. As the score line indicates, the game was a tight contest with both teams priding them-selves on their defence. Compared to last year’s 30-0 loss, this game will provide the girls with the confidence that they have what it takes to match it with the best teams.
