Business Chamber’s Revival Targets Ambitious Income Boost For Canowindra In most Australian towns outside the big cities, the term “Business Chamber” has rarely meant much to the majority of the townspeople. “The Canowindra Business Chamber has been through some evolutions in the past,” says Eddy Wilkinson who’s currently serving his second year as president. “But it’s always been something associated with the Gaskill Street strip that runs from the Junction to Canowindra Hotels. “Our job is to make it much stronger now and to embrace the whole business community with its services.” The chamber’s membership has doubled to over 60 under Eddy’s tenure – see the new website up at www.canowindrabusinesschamber.org.au/membership. And a drive is on to develop services that expand the potential of local businesses by actually targeting more customers – local, regional and interstate – with what they have to offer.
As Eddy Wilkinson describes it: “We’re structuring Canowindra’s business attractions under seven categories – Stay (accommodation), Eat, Play, Shop, Services, Farm and Building (architects, electricians, plumbers, etc). “From each of these we can provide different individually tailored packages to prospective visitors and customers. For tourists, for example – a hotel, motel or B&B, along with a top restaurant and coffee place, a game of bowls or golf and where best to shop. “And we can package these services to meet any individual need.” As Eddy declares, eyeing institutions like the Age of Fishes Museum, the Historical Museum and the derelict railway precinct: “What Canowindra needs is something that can build an income every day.” By Derek Maitland

Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
Applause to the writers, producers and cast of the Canowindra Community Players – “TC and AJ Scouts for A and E Records”. As a person who saw the following in concert, whilst living in Sydney – The Beatles, The Bee Gee’s, Billy Ray Cyrus, Neil Diamond and Cher and Reg Livermore in the Rocky Horror Show, I was taken back to an era of great artists. To single out any cast member is impossible as they were all so talented. However this person was blown away by Bonny Wythes and Adam Watt’s Sonny & Cher’s ‘I’ve got you babe’. So much talent in a small community. So many Sydney siders would love the show as much as the local’s. It was a time walk and one of the artists had an uncanny likeness to a well-known lady in the Canowindra CBD in the show’s final number. Well done, you have done the town proud!
The subject of the mis-information spread by NBN itself and the Minister as consort is amazing. The suggestion that the fibre arriving into Eugowra is salutary success is a distraction from the fact; that access to all internet services will only be by wireless, is blithely overlooked by all to the reality that there will not be ‘fibre-to-the-home’ (FTTH) or even ‘fibreto-the-node’ (FTTN) in your street. The same will apply, it seems, for Canowindra and all other small revenue generating areas and towns. The real speed of this form of internet access is just how many are trying to use the internet at the moment you wish to. If it is high usage at that moment - take your turn to get data through. FTTN would be the best compromise because the subscriber could opt to connect or not from the pillar in the street as you do now, where the offset of FTTH would dictate that a higher cost for re-working your home wiring for telephone access as well would also come into play. The fibre coming to Eugowra is to connect the radio element alone, without any cable running down the streets. All in all, send an email or a letter to the Minister: malcolm.turnbull.mp@aph.gov.au, to let him know your thoughts on the weak compromise he is offering (being the fella at the sharp end)

Madeline successfully raised $1462 for Caritas and is very thankful to her parents, her friends and the local community. “If it wasn’t for the help of my parents, friends and the kind community of Cowra and Canowindra and the local Parish in Cowra and Canowindra, this would not have been possible. So thankyou so much, and thank you to the sponsors who sponsored the event”. Stork News – Peta Laurie and Anthony Hamer are proud to announce the arrival of their daughter Scout Hamer.

IMAGE: B Double truck
Chamber Targets Roads and the Freight Haulage Route as Top Problems The Canowindra Business Chamber put one of the town’s most nagging issues on the agenda this week -- the state of our regional country roads and local streets and the pressing need for an improved route around the town for huge B-double trucks. The discussion at Tuesday’s meeting was prompted by the NSW government’s call for “expressions of interest” from local councils for grants from its $35.7 million Fixing Country Roads program – a scheme aimed,
according to deputy premier Andrew Stoner, at addressing a predicted doubling of road freight haulage over the next 20 years. Another worrying trigger for local government and chamber discussion is reports that virtual “road trains” – B-triple trucks -- will soon be thundering over the Blue Mountains and into the Central West. Roads and Freight Minister Duncan Gray says Fixing Country Roads is all about improving roads and also freight flow by “better
connecting freight facilities such as rail sidings, saleyards, silos, abattoirs, fuel depots and distribution centres to local road networks.” Not surprisingly Canowindra Business Chamber president Eddy Wilkinson cites both targets, freight movement and road deterioration, as vital issues for the chamber and the community. “Our priority is to minimise the impact of trucks travelling through Canowindra,” he says, pointing to the damage caused to the road surfaces between the Blatchford-Gaskill streets intersection and the turning at the Age of Fishes Museum into Ferguson street as a constant problem. “It’s just not good to have these big vehicles in the downtown area. But the problem is that there’s just not enough money to create a complete road freight by-pass around the town.” As for our country roads, Eddy rates the Belubula Way route from Canowindra to Mandurama, along with the notoriously bad Canowindra-Eugowra road as our highest priorities for repairs and upgrading. But what about you, our readers? We invite you to join this important discussion by emailing the Phoenix on editor@canowindraphoenix.com.au with your complaints and suggestions. By Derek Maitland

Stand Up for the Care You Deserve Did you know nursing care per day has been slashed by 16 hours at Canowindra District Hospital? The nurses are literally run off their feet with no time out for morning and afternoon tea let alone a meal break. Nurses and midwives are deeply concerned by this and fear you and your family’s safety cannot be guaranteed if you visit the local hospital for medical treatment. Hospital management cannot continue cutting back hours and expect the same level of care – we need your help to raise awareness about this issue. Canowindra has 3 full time doctor’s and 2 part time – these doctors need to be secure in the knowledge there will adequate staff to look after the patients they admit to hospital. Patients come from far and wide to see these doctors e.g. Oberon, Blayney, Bathurst, Orange, Manildra, Parkes, Forbes, Eugowra, Grenfell, Koorawatha, Cowra, Young and some even further. One concern is the delay in being able to
answer the patient buzzers and having to prioritise which patient needs attending first. There are delays in administering treatments and medications because the nurses are in ED. The phone is not being answered when both nurses are busy and cannot just drop what they are doing to get to the phone. People in regional areas deserve the same health care as those living in the city. Please voice your concerns by letting local MP Troy Grant know about these cuts – remember, he is there to work for you. Local nurse and media spokesperson Joanne Smith is lobbying for everyone in the community to band together and speak up about this issue. “We want to deliver quality care that the people in this area deserve. And we can’t if we keep getting cut back” “Here is a question for you Troy Grant, what is the price of a life worth?” Contact Troy Grant at dubbo@parliament. nsw.gov.au or (02) 6882 3577
Members of the Canowindra Historical Society were saddened to hear of the recent death of Frances Robinson. Although she had lived in Sydney for many years, she joined the Society in the early 1970s when a teacher at Cowra High School. She was a great granddaughter of William Robinson II, licensee of the Canowindra Inn when bushrangers, Ben Hall and gang held it up in 1863. Frances recorded the story of the bushranger raids in a small booklet launched in 1979. After it sold out she agreed to expand it for a reprint. The result was the attractive orange covered book, Canowindra and the Bushrangers and the Robinson Connection, which was launched in 1996 during Canowindra Show weekend. Throughout the years Frances also carried out much research and was awarded a Certificate of Achievement by the Royal Australian Historical Society for her work with Canowindra Historical Society. In 2001 she was invited to open The Pre 1901 Pioneers Wall at the entrance to the Historical Museum.

ing area and budget. Most designers specialize in either commercial or residential but this depends on their geographical location and sometimes you have to be able to do both. Professionals in this industry need a strong sense of colour and shape, and how they can be used together to make a space attractive. They are often called on to choose wall and floor coverings, furniture, lighting fixtures, and artwork among other room features, and decide where they should be in the room. Designers may compose a blueprint of an interior space by hand or by computer to show any changes to the area and where any new or existing objects should be placed. In the design industry, there are an overwhelming number of options to choose from when establishing how a room or specific area will look and function. While it’s great to have options, it can be difficult to narrow them down to the best selection for your budget, resources and personal taste. An interior designer can help eliminate options that aren’t a practical fit. I believe that there are lots of technical considerations to take into account aside from creating a beautiful, unified look. From creating a concept and drafting plans to selecting materials and finishes properly, there is a big array of choices available in the marketplace today, particularly with the internet. Selection can be difficult and costly if the client makes the wrong choices of materials and installation and then everything needs to be redone. Cont. on page 7

Ready, Set, Go for Canowindra Fitness Path
IMAGE: Spraying crops
Get Your Crops Winter Ready The winter cropping season has seen regular rainfall and warm conditions which has given many growers confidence for this season’s crop. The addition of topdressing nitrogen is now the decision for growers to make. Many have performed deep soil Nitrogen test to assess soil profile nitrogen with results showing reasonably strong levels due to the moist mild weather we have seen which is ideal conditions for natural mineralisation of nitrogen. With supply of urea being tight in the near future it is now the time to order your urea to secure your needs for the coming topdressing season and not have your yield potential dictated by urea availability. Sulphur must also be a consideration in canola crops if pre plant sulphur was not applied, with products such has Gran Am and Slam providing both Nitrogen and sulphur.
The demand for hay has been slow after an exceptional season for demand of fodder over the dry hot summer period with growers seeing strong prices for their product. This drop in demand is due to the great rainfall we have seen and warm weather resulting in excellent pastures growth in most districts. Demand should begin to increase as the as the cold weather finally greets us as winter traditionally sees strong demand for fodder. Supply is limited so prices for hay is excepted to hold firm after slightly easing from the prices seen earlier in the year. Chaff products for horses are always available locally direct from our mill at competitive retail prices with quality Lucerne, oaten and wheaten chaff and our always popular “Pony Mix” as well as bagged feed grain products.

It’s all go go go for members of the Fitness Path Working Party with the fitness equipment ordered and exercise sites being laid out over the next few months. The Working Party has been working closely with Cabonne Council since the beginning of the year and is pleased to announce that the current path is to be replaced with a concrete one. When the new path is laid the pavers purchased by people many months ago now will be placed in a section of the path in front of the Amenities Block. The Fitness Path is a fantastic incentive for the Canowindra community to integrate exercise into their regimes. Watch out for more updates and photos as the project progresses! Note - Due to overwhelming complaints about dog poo on the fitness path and on the oval, there is now a ban of glass bottles, dogs and horses at the Canowindra Oval Sports Complex and on the fitness path.

BABY Talk A safe sleeping place reduces the risk of sudden infant death and fatal sleeping accidents. To provide a safe sleeping environment for your baby: Put baby’s feet at the bottom of the cot. The cot must meet the Australian standard for cots. No additional mattresses or extra padding should be placed in a travel cot. Tuck in bedclothes securely so bedding is not loose. Keep quilts, doonas, pillows, cot bumpers, sheepskins and soft toys out of the cot or sleeping place. Use a firm, clean mattress that fits snuggly in the cot.

Canowindra Sport Bailey Cain was able to score an effortless try in the second half as his agility weaved him straight through Grenfell’s defence line. He was awarded Players Player for his incredible performance throughout the whole game. Bailey displayed a ‘no fear’ attitude as he ran and tackled Goanna players that were double his size. They are all very eager to train hard this week as they head in to verse the top of the ladder team Peak Hill. Congratulations Canowindra Tigers Youth League!

League Tag
Canowindra vs. Grenfell, Sunday 13th June The Canowindra Tigresses played to perfection on Sunday the 13th of June at Grenfell as they took on the Goannas on their home turf and beat them 16 - 6. Jess Coker was able to put down the first try for the Tigresses at the start of the game, giving the girls a great incentive to keep scoring points. Bonny Wythes was also able to score a try in the first half. They were straight up to the Goannas from the first whistle applying fantastic pressure to them. This is evident as the half time score was 10 - 0 Canowindra’s way as they went into the break with a great result. Krystal Coker was able to score a try in the second half which sealed the deal for

Canowindra’s win. With almost a full team the Tigresses were definitely back in action from last week’s draw. Fantastic effort to this week’s Players Player Kirsty Wooley as her determination helped the ladies achieve field possession. Their very proud coach Michael French stated that he could not fault anything from their game. Congratulations to the Tigresses, fantastic result!
Youth League
Canowindra vs. Grenfell, Sunday 13th June Following from the League Tag Ladies, the Youth League Tigers were also able to defeat the Grenfell Goannas with a fantastic game as the final score was 20 - 14. This is the first time in the season that the Youth League players have had a full team. Jayden Brown returned from a 6 week injury to play his first game back for Youth League and made an outstanding effort as he scored two tries in the first half. The defence that the Tigers displayed was the best they have done yet as they prevented Grenfell from scoring numerous times. A fantastic runaway try was scored by Luke Tarrant in the first half as he dodged through the Goannas and ran to score perfectly under the posts. As they went into the half time break they were in the lead 16 - 4. With the excitement of playing with a full team, the boys new that they had the better chance in winning this game.

TOMMY’S
CHRISTMAS IN
Canowindra vs. Grenfell, Sunday 13th June The Canowindra Tigers First Grade Men were able to make history on Sunday at Grenfell as they topped off from Canowindra’s League Tag and Youth League wins on the day by defeating the Goannas with an incredible win of 54 - 22. This is First Grades fifth consecutive win as they have extremely stepped up and improved over the last few weeks. Kain Earsman was able to score the first try of the day, followed by his brother Aaron slam dunking Canowindra’s second try. The Hughes brothers Curtis and Brydon were both able to score a try each, along with Tom Roth scoring one, Adam Micallef scoring one, Jayden Brown scoring his third try for the day and Players Player Matt Mclean was able to score two outstanding tries. This isn’t the first time Matt has been awarded Players Player, which shows how big of an asset he is to his team. The fact that they won by 32 points also shows how incredible their defence was. Every player was on top of their game as they controlled the field and dictated the results themselves. An amazing effort!
