Students Speak Up On Community MattersIt’s one of the highlights of the Council’s meeting agenda. Each year senior student representatives from Molong, Yeoval and Canowindra Central Schools get to address Cabonne Councillors. Amid the thank you’s and wish lists there is always a strong mes-sage to Council on what is on the mind of students as far as community facilities and needs are concerned. The state of the roads usually gets a run - but this year it was a range of issues, and the Councillors were genuinely impressed. From Canowindra Central School, Tim Middleton and Emily Price praised sup-port given to Youth Week activities, the new filtered water bubbler in the park and the skate park. On the wish list are much needed gym facilities for the sports minded commu-nity, refurbishment of the basketball courts

and repairs to the footpaths they travel on to and from school. With only months until the next Annual Show, the showground could also do with new toilets - to avoid costly hire of temporary ones for big events. From Molong, Ellie Bryce and Liam Bridge raised the public toilet issue again - seek-ing improvements to the dark unappealing facilities. From Yeoval, Courtney Cusack and Darby Tremain pleaded for some form of public transport in the school holidays to take students to Orange and / or Dubbo. It became clear that kids without licences or wheels can feel stranded in the town. So there you are - the kids have spoken. Cut this out and pin it on the wall.

LettersDear Editor, Recent statistics from the Royal Life Saving Society have shown that NSW recorded the highest number of drowning deaths from 2002 to 2012, with 246 people sadly drown-ing in a creek, river or stream over the ten year period. As a personal injury lawyer and president of Dixon Park Surf Life Saving Club, I am a strong advocate for water safety and have seen people end up with injuries, sometimes permanent, that were caused by poor judge-ment when engaging in water-related activi-ties. We all need to be cautious when entering a river, stream or creek and be mindful that there can be strong currents and deep chan-nels which can quickly take even the strong-est of swimmers by surprise. The water safety message needs to be spread far and wide so that we can continue to enjoy our waterways safely.

Stuart Barnett General Manager, Personal Injury

So we have talked about how one important strategy for healthy bones is to eat the right kind of foods. A diet full of processed foods will produce biochemical and metabolic con-ditions in your body that will decrease your bone density, so avoiding processed foods is definitely the first step in the right direction. Your bones are constantly being rebuilt in a dynamic process involving the removal of old bone through osteoclasts and regeneration of new, healthy bone by osteoblasts. Load-bearing exercise works by stimulating the osteoblast cells which are responsible for the making and mineralization of new bone. Weight-bearing exercise is actually one of the most effective remedies against osteo-porosis, because as you put more tension on your muscles it puts more pressure on your bones, which then respond by continuously creating fresh, new bone. Further, bone is a living tissue that requires regular physical activity in order to renew and rebuild itself, so you should make exercise a lifelong com-mitment, without it you will be at higher risk of osteoporosis and other chronic illness! In fact a US National Osteoporosis Risk As-sessment found that people who regularly exercised had a significantly reduced risk of developing osteoporosis. Don’t forget to come in and get my best tips for strong and healthy bones.

Would you like someone to do all the ringing around and getting the quotes for you?

Would you like someone to deal with all the tradesmen?

Would you like a one stop shop here in Canowin-dra to go to pick your new tiles, floorboards, kitch-en benchtops, blinds and custom made furniture?

Well, guess what? You need not dream any longer, there is a new business in town, K and H Interiors. This is a fantastic pairing of Kim Lowe and Herb Beer. Kim has 30 years experience as an interior designer and Herb has 40 years experience as a builder. After working together on many jobs over the years they made the decision to combine their talents and experience to start this unique busi-ness here in Canowindra.

Kim said they started the business with clients as their main focus. “We want to help our clients re-alise their dream of a new kitchen, bathroom or renovation. We want to help them as much or as little as they want.” “ We have our new shop here in Gaskill Street, where we are selling home fur-

nishings, art work and gift wear and at the rear of the store is a one stop shop. We have a cus-tom display kitchen to show clients what choices there are when choosing a new kitchen. We have samples of floorboards, tiles, bench tops, blinds, taps and handles. We also offer to help design and have custom furniture made.

Herb went onto say, “K & H Interiors are avail-able for all interior changes, refurbishments and renovations. We come to the client’s home, sit and listen to the wants and needs of the client, look around and take into consideration the cli-ents budget.” We come back to the shop and talk about the design elements and the building and structural components. We deliver to the client the plans or brief matching everything we discussed. This service is for all size homes and budgets.

K and H Interiors have many long standing suppli-ers that they use and trust and believe they can meet the needs of all their clients. So if you are thinking about a new kitchen, bathroom or reno-vating, no matter how big or small, give them a call today or call into the new store for a chat.

Have you ever wanted someone to come into your home and help you design your new kitchen or bathroom, or even help

you plan your renovation?

IMAGE: Sing Canowindra’s Choral Workshop Choir

Sing Canowindra Success

The Sing Canowindra choral workshop was held last week on the 25th May at the CWA Hall which was held by folk@canowindra and facilitated by Christina Mimmocchi. This op-portunity was made possible through fund-ing by the Country Arts Support Programme, via Artsoutwest. Participants in the work-shop travelled from Canberra, Sydney, Gren-fell, Cowra, Dubbo, Forbes and Canowin-dra. The songs were written and arranged by Christina Mimmocchi, including a song sung in Wiradjuri; the choir also performed one of Nerida Cuddy’s songs. The day was catered for by the CWA Hall who served up a delicious lunch for the singers. Once the singers were trained up and their nerves had settled, they ventured to the Taste Canowin-dra to perform in front of an audience of 25. This was followed by a solo set by Christina Mimmocchi. “People came from near and far to take part, and stayed at our local motels and pubs, which is great for our little town, a real boost for Canowindra’s image and a real economic boost as well”, Founder of folk@canowindra Nerida Cuddy said. “I think it’s great that CASP has got involved and enabled little towns like Canowindra to experience events like this. There will be a

second series concert in August also funded by CASP featuring Dr Kim Cunio who will not only be performing at the folk@canowin-dra club, but also lo-cal schools”, Nerida stated.

The ‘Log Cabin’ in Gooloogong is one of only two log cabins in Australia, and this special hall is in need of some restoration. The Log Cabin Committee need your support to help undertake the work. The restoration work will take place in stages, with the first being the replacement of the roof which is estimated at $60,000, of which the committee have already raised $20,000. The Esky Ball be-ing held next month will aid in the fundrais-ing which is why it is important for everyone to come along and support the Gooloogong community. Buses will be running from Cow-ra, Canowindra, Forbes, Grenfell and Eugow-ra. We are encouraging as many people as possible to attend, with over 200 expected. There are businesses from Cowra, Canowin-dra, Forbes, Eugowra and Grenfell on board with sponsorship to ensure the Esky Ball is a success and so future generations can also enjoy the Log Cabin.

Kids Swap A Day At School For

ReadingThe Community Reading Day was held last Fri-day, 23rd May at the Memorial Park in Gaskill Street & Services Club Hall. The Canowindra Community Reading Day aimed to give par-ents, grandparents and carer’s ideas and ac-tivities to help their child or grandchild devel-op their literacy skills. It helps them develop great literacy skills through simple everyday activities that can be carried on at home. The day was a success with all the kids from Canowindra Primary, St Edwards Catholic School, family day care, community groups and other local’s kids getting involved. They took part in drum and rhythm classes, story-telling, painting, face painting done by some of the High School kids, Aboriginal storytell-ing, Aboriginal dancing and other active fun events. The day went off without a hitch and ended with a BBQ and all the kids received a balloon and a book in a show bag.

Well it is coming to that time of year again when we are rugging up in our winter wool-lies and braving the cold. The cold snap came a few weeks ago with a Big Bang and took everyone by surprise and we are not holding our breath, because as we know it will soon return. Lucky for all the girls I have all your winter wardrobe needs sorted. In store at the mo-ment I have a beautiful range of bright and colourful warm winter knits. This season every colour you could imagine is in fashion. This season I have started stocking an Aus-tralian made and owned merino wool range called Hedrena. This label is based in Mel-bourne and has been around for 30 years. I am now going to be stocking it for everybody in the Central West. This range of merino wool consists of layering pieces, leggings, straight leg pants, skivvies and very elegant designs in their stand-alone tops. Their range in colours is amazing from basic black and navy to bright emeralds, periwinkles and raspberry. This fine merino is machine washable, non-itchy and doesn’t crease. It is perfect for women that travel as it breathes and you can wear it 12 months of the year. I also have heavier knitwear including wool and angora blends in bright bold colours or soft pink and mint green pastels. I am finding accessories are popular for this season including a great scarf, wrap or pon-cho. These easy wear garments can dress an

outfit up. I am also stocking pretty umbrellas and beautiful leather and wool gloves. These are accessories that we all need in Orange and throughout the Central West. I have a terrific selection of warm coats and jackets in all styles from classic to that point of difference look. Just arrived in store are Andiamo pants. These pants are proudly designed and made in Australia for Australian women. I have had many women over the years tell me that these pants are ‘their favourite and best fit-ting pant they have ever owned’. I am excited about this winter season. There are so many colours about to brighten our dreary Central West days. I think this au-tumn has been the best one we have seen for a long time. I also believe the fashion this season is the best I have seen for a long time. If you are ready for a re-vamp or simply need a few pieces to brighten and update your wardrobe call in to see us soon. Winter is selling quickly, and for us in the rag trade summer deliveries are just around the corner.

Top 7 - From a Man’s Perspective…Independence - Women want to know that a man can take care of himself. They want a guy who is capable and independent, able to make his own decisions, pay his rent, and cook himself dinner. Despite what you might think, no woman wants to be your mother (besides, of course, your mother).

Looks - Women are called the fairer sex for a reason. They’re much, much better looking than we are, what with our sharp angles, our hairy backs and our doughy centres. Still, de-spite their good nature, women care about looks too (if not quite as much as men do). Thus, it wouldn’t hurt to at least try and mini-mise the degree to which you remind them of a monkey.

Communication - We often tease women about their capacity for conversation. How-ever, men ignore the female inclination to talk at their peril. Women place a priority on guys they can talk to, who can express them-selves and who are at least willing to listen to them when they talk about their concerns, hopes and desires. You should also know that the communication skill that trumps all others is the ability to be attentive. Some-times, all a woman needs you to do is listen.

Intelligence - Many women find smarts as sexy as physical appearance. For some of us, this can be frustrating, because, let’s face it, we’d all like to be smarter, and at one

time or another we’ve all felt like the dumb-est guy in the room.

Passion - If a woman is thinking about spending any time with you, she’d like to know that she can look forward to adven-ture, commitment, devotion, and excite-ment behind closed doors. Women love to see that you’re passionate, because in their minds passion in one sphere of life that can be transferred into another sphere of life, namely the bedroom.

Humour - Now this does not mean you need to be “the life of the party.” Women typically don’t gravitate toward drunken buffoons. A good sense of humour just means you know how to tell and take a joke.

Ambition & Confidence The reason women gravitate toward men with successful ca-reers isn’t because of the size of their paychecks, but rather because their success at work is indicative of certain attractive per-sonality traits: com-mitment, discipline, strong work ethic -- all of which are things that will likely make a guy a good partner.

High School’s First Markets Venture Attracting Big Support

Canowindra High School’s first venture into a garage sale and markets fund-raising event went off in a big way on Sunday attracting hundreds of visitors and more than 30 stalls including some from Moorbel. Among them, one of the regular stalwarts of the Moorbel markets, Daphne Cooper from Cargo and her colourful display of knitted items. “I knit every day,” she told the Phoe-nix. “Sometimes all day if the weather’s wet.”

At the other end of the market experience, schoolgirls Laura Flannery and Georgie Fisher did well selling a very professional range of decorated greetings cards which they’d made themselves. But that was only a tiny part of the vast range of goods on sale – everything from toys, to homeware, to cake and preserves, to old garden tools. In all, the sale raised $1,800 for the school,

a great effort. However, a secondary sale went on at the same time, this organised by faculty mem-bers selling off equipment and other items, no longer used, that had been hanging around in storage for two decades or more. The proceeds from that sale went into their own faculty budgets. All in all, it was a triumph for everyone in-volved, especially the teachers. As one commented later: “A lot of people were able to see for themselves what a very nice school, we have.

WHAT’S Hot

Be wary of people claiming to be from “Win-dows” or “Microsoft Support”. Several peo-ple in town have had their PC’s hijacked re-cently. They were using Windows XP, which has lost all support now, but by allowing oth-ers access to their PC, people who had no right to be there, the computers were locked out. Don’t let anyone other than a known technician or someone you call access your pc remotely – just say no and hang up. Seek help if unsure.

BUSINESS FOR SALE

By Ian RoganMillthorpe Garden Nursery

In a previous column I wrote about ornamen-tal trees for your garden and the fact that winter is a good time to buy deciduous or-namental trees in their dormant, bare root forms-they will be about 30% cheaper than if you buy them potted up and in leaf, later in the year. This month I want to look a bit more closely at three of the most popular forms of decidu-ous ornamental trees-crab apples, elms and ornamental pears. Crab Apples (Malus) -There are at least 14 different forms of these small to medium size, spring flowering trees. Maypole Balle-rina crab apple is a narrow tree growing up to 3 meters high and produces masses of dark pink flowers in spring followed by pur-ple/bronze leaves and bright red fruit that is great for making crab apple jelly. Bechtel crab apple is a rounded tree growing up to 5 meters high-its mass of double, white flowers emerge from pink buds in late spring after its green leaves have emerged. Royal Raindrops is another crab apple growing up to 6 meters high, producing dark pink flowers in spring and attractive deep purple cutleaf foliage. Elms (Ulmus) -These are larger deciduous trees that can be great specimen trees in the garden or an avenue in larger spaces. Gold-en elms (up to 10m high and wide) are eye catching with their golden leaves-there is a great avenue of these on the highway on the eastern entrance to Molong. I have a silver elm as a specimen tree with striking cream speckled leaves in a circular drive in my gar-den. The dark green leaf, rounded English elm grows to about 15 meters. Ornamental Pears (Pyrus) -These have be-come very popular in recent years as street trees, lining driveways and as specimen gar-den trees. They have three great seasonal phases-dark green, glossy leaves in summer; brilliant orange/red autumn leaf colour and masses of white flowers in spring. Manchu-rian pear is a rounded tree growing to about 10 meters high and 7 metres wide. Capital is a much narrower grower, more suited to lining driveways.

IMAGE: Jake Wythes - Players Player for Youth League

Youth League Dominate on Home GroundCanowindra vs. EugowraThe Youth League players dominated their home turf as they were able to beat Eugowra 30 - 24 playing with 9 players per side as Eugowra were short in players. The Tigers displayed a fantastic rhythm of defence and attack and had the right mind set and were determined from the very start of the game to not let Eugowra get in front of them. Quad-rella of tries were scored by Luke Tarrant as he scored 4 tries on his first game of the

season, fantastic effort! Also great work to Ebann Malae, Jack Grant and Sam Willson for also scoring a try each. This week’s Play-ers Player went to Jake Wythes for his great breaks and runs through Eugowra as he in-spired his fellow team mates to push forward throughout the whole game. Fantastic result from Canowindra Youth League!

First GradeCanowindra vs. Eugowra, Sunday 25th MayEugowra’s experience within their players definitely gave them the upper hand as they

knew how to win the game with the full time score being 20 - 14 Eugowra’s way. The Ti-gers were determined and never gave up as they continued to defend their territory. Simple mistakes were made by Canowin-dra which Eugowra used to their advantage and gained further control of the field. This week’s Players Player went to Blake Willson as his consistency helped the boys to get fur-ther as he was always right there in the mid-dle of the game to back up and offer control of the ball when needed. Great work to try scorers Nick Willson and Mick Mason, and to Matty Mclean for kicking two penalty goals.

Canowindra Clay TargetSunday 18th May 201438 shooters took part in the day from Orange, Parkes, West Wyalong, Cowra, Bathurst and Boorowa.

League TagCanowindra vs. EugowraThe Eugowra girls have highly improved since Canowindra beat them in the first round of this season, although the Tigresses weren’t expecting a 14 - 4 loss. The Tigresses pushed through and chased down the Geagles, dis-playing some fantastic effort and determi-nation. Canowindra had a small number of reserves, and Captain Madi Vitnell was hos-pitalised with a head injury within the first 15 minutes of the game. Luckily Vice-Captain Krystal Coker was able to step up and keep the team moving after losing Madi, Krystal also scored the only try for Canowindra. This week the Tigresses have four Player Players as the following girls could not have been dif-ferentiated as they all put in an equal amount

of effort in defence and attack. Congratula-tions to Bonny Wythes for her second con-secutive week, and also to Erin Coles, Krystal Coker and Ashley Mclean.

Webb’s Win Major PairsCongratulations to Cyril & Bruce on their win on Saturday in the final of major pairs, play-ing against Josh Bohanna & Vince Mirto in a very good display of bowls even though the final score was 21-12 it was still a very good game to watch.
