Record Numbers Turn Out For Walla Rugby Gala Day

Canowindra Junior Pythons President and Walla Rugby Day organiser Tony Grant says this year’s event was the most successful ever, with a massive 42 teams converging on Canowindra last Sunday for the occasion.

The Walla Rugby Gala Day is the annual gala day hosted by the Canowindra Pythons Junior Football Club, and normally attracts around 30 individual teams across the age divisions of under sevens, nines and elevens.

However this year’s event saw 42 teams compete across the same divisions, making it the best attended Walla Galla Day yet.

Teams descended on the Canowindra Sports Oval from all over the Central West, including the Pythons themselves, Narromine, Dubbo, Wellington, Parkes, Forbes, Orange, Bathurst and Cowra.

In fact, every rugby union club that plays under Central West Rugby Union participated on the day except for Mudgee.

The Walla Rugby Gala Day is one of Canowindra’s biggest annual events, and Mr Grant said it was a great day for everyone involved.

“It was our biggest event yet, and it ran like clock-work, which was great,” he said.

“We had nine fields running at once, so 18 teams playing at a single time, and we got through each game by 12.30pm. No team had to wait for longer than an hour for their next game as well.”

The day’s games were refereed by past and present senior Pythons players.

“I cannot thank those that refereed, and all other volunteers, enough for their efforts on the day,” Mr Grant said.

Dear Sir, It is said, “if you cannot lie convincingly then you can not become a politician”.

Academically, a lie is only a lie when it is proved to be a falsehood. The complaint that Labor lied, before the election, over the Medicare issue still hasn’t been proved such that it was a lie.

Before an election, no one could know a Prime Minister’s true post election intentions. Shakespeare’s quotation suggests that people who protest denial too strongly are hiding a truth. Our Prime Minister fitted that description to many people, before the election. There have been many similar situations in the past where the statement before an election turns out to be a downright lie after the election.

Then there is the question of misleading the voting public (lying), which the Australian Electoral Commission was guilty of as it resolutely and definitively stated that six boxes above the line had to be num-

bered serially one to six, otherwise, the vote would be informal. Several reputable sources, and the media dispelled this claim consistently, such that if only one box was numbered, the vote would still be formal.

At the Polling Booth the clerk continued the spiel that six boxes must be numbered above the line on the Senate paper.

In normal life, for we poor mortals, false claims (lying), in business and advertising, can be tested in a court of law.

Is it any wonder that we lose faith in politics and the law?

With kind regards, Bill Barwood

QUESTION of the week chemicals though a statewide collection program. The ChemClear NSW collection will be held in October, but bookings are essential and must be made by September 2 2016. Keeping old or unwanted agricultural and veterinary chemicals in your shed presents an unnecessary risk to staff, family, livestock, pets and the environment. The ChemClear team will be on the road from mid-October and will spend about four weeks safely collecting and disposing of agvet chemicals from hundreds of registered participants. You can register to dispose of your unwanted chemicals by calling the hotline on 1800 008 182 or visiting www.chemclear.com.au

Cabonne Council to provide bulky waste clean-up: Cabonne Council will start providing a bulky waste clean-up service from Monday, August 15. The service will allow the collection of larger items, and will enable items suitable for recycling to be diverted from landfill, thereby maximizing the life of this valuable resource. Residents are being asked to place their bulky waste neatly on the edge of their kerb where their normal weekly garbage and recycling bins are emptied. Residents should also do this the weekend before the collection run commences. The limit for bulky waste is two cubic metres.

Reminder of Trivia Night: Residents of Canowindra and district are reminded that the Canowindra Public School Trivia Night will be held this Saturday night at the Canowindra Services Club. The event has been organised by the school’s P&C committee, and is being used as a fundraiser to allow the school to purchase new equipment for its level three playground.

The school has already managed to raise $11,000 for the project, but is aiming to raise $25,000 in total, and needs the community’s help to do so. Tickets are available for purchase from the Canowindra Services Club. Drop in or give them a call to book your spot.

Daffodil Day fundraiser to take place: A Daffodil Day fundraiser will be held outside of Lawrence’s IGA, Gaskill Street, Canowindra on August 26.

What are your thoughts about the 2016 Australian Census?

Anne Lamb: I’m not looking forward to filling out the form, but it needs to be done.

Veda Stephens: I’m glad it can still be done on paper, as I’m not very good with the internet. We all need to do it. I think it’s very important.

Janine Marriotte: I’ve got no problems with it whatsoever. I think it’s an important thing to do, and it’s now online which makes it much easier.

Local Scientist To Speak At Canowindra HSC Fundraiser

Tractor Trek Ready To Roll

The fourth installment of the annual Tractor Trek is already shaping up to be a hit this year, with 27 tractors already registered to take part in the expedition.

The Tractor Trek is an annual gathering of people and their tractors, who spend a weekend travelling across parts of the Central west in their tractors.

Both vintage and modern tractors are expected to participate this year, and all funds raised from the event will go to the Camp Quality charity, which looks after children with cancer.

This year’s trek will start on Friday, September 23, and end on Sunday, September 25, and will see each participant drive through Billimari, Canowindra, Woodstock, Holmwood, Cowra, Goologong, Grenfell, Greenthorpe, and back to Cowra.

Money will be raised by each participant through sponsorship, as well as other individual fundraising efforts.

Roy White, who has been involved with the Tractor Trek for the last three years and

has raised over $30,000 for Camp Quality, said it was a great initiative to be apart of.

“I decided to come on board as it’s a great opportunity to support young children with cancer,” he said.

Mr White said safety measures had already been put in place for the trek, with the tractors staying off main highways as to not cause traffic issues.

Tractors will also drive in brackets of 10, with a one-kilometre gap in between each bracket.

The Tractor Trek will also host a morning tea and puppet show at Canowindra Public School on the Friday, before heading to Woodstock for lunch that same day.

There will be a dinner and auction fundraiser at the Cowra Bowling Club that night.

Tickets for the dinner in Cowra can be purchased at the Cowra Visitors Centre.

Prior to the event, a public barbeque breakfast will be held at Canowindra Tyre Service on Saturday, September 3.

Locally educated scientist Dr Amber Beavis will speak at the next dinner of the Australian Federation of Graduate Women on August 20 at the Japanese Garden Restaurant, with funds raised from the dinner going to the Cowra-Canowindra HSC Scholarship. The scholarship of $2,000 is presented annually to a highly motivated school graduate.

Amber’s visit forms part of Australia’s National Science Week, and as a researcher in the office of the Chief Scientist in Canberra, she is at the cutting edge of the scientific world. The AFGW encourages Canowindra’s practising scientists and current science students to come along.

Like many little girls growing up in the bush, Amber, while still a student at St Raphael’s School, Cowra, was fascinated by the creepy-crawlies in the paddock.

Remembered by her teachers as a talented student, she has followed her delight in learning, gaining a PhD on the funnel-web spider, and has also completed post-doctoral study at the University of California, and further research in Samoa and Tokelau.

Alongside her academic studies, Amber has been a Churchill Fellow, represented Australia at the 2014 Emerging Pacific Leaders Dialogue and was last year named as one of the winners of the ABC Radio National’s Top Under 40 Scientists in the Media. Recently, Amber decided to hang up her lab coat and to exchange her life behind a microscope for a career in science communication in Canberra.

The dinner, which starts at 6pm, is $45, and $20 for students. Bookings need to be made before August 12. Please forward guest names and cheques to Treasurer, Mrs Sally Delaney, Lachlan Valley, Grenfell Road, COWRA NSW 2794. Sally’s mobile is 0413 274 472. Direct deposit is available.

RSL Sub-Branch To Commemorate Long Tan The Canowindra Returned and Service League Sub-Branch will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan tonight at 6pm. Michael Harrison, President of the SubBranch, will lay a wreath at the cenotaph in commemoration of the Vietnam War, and to remember the soldiers’ who served their country and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Following this service, the Sub Branch will also be hosting a free dinner, which will be open to all Vietnam Veterans, and their partners, as guests of the RSL Sub-Branch.

The Battle of Long Tan took place on August 18 1966. It was the one of the fiercest battles fought by Australian soldiers in the Vietnam War, involving 105 Australians and 3 New Zealanders from D Company 6RAR. A total of 17 Australians were killed in action and 25 were wounded, one of whom later died of his wounds.

The 50th anniversary of Long Tan also shares the day with Vietnam Veterans Day, and this year many ceremonies will be held across Australia to commemorate the occasion.

Almost 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam from 1962 until 1975. Some 521 soldiers lost their lives, and more than 3,000 were wounded. Many more veterans suffered, and continue to suffer, because of their service.

The Canowindra RSL Sub-Branch is also currently in the process of updating information on Vietnam War and Korean War veterans from our area.

Being aware that the plaques at the Community Hall are not a precise representation of these veterans, the Sub-Branch would like to acknowledge the brave young men and women who served in these battles, inclusive of Malaya, or who served in the regular Army, Navy, Airforce or National Service in this time.

If you served, or if you have family from Canowindra and district who served, please contact Jenny Weaver on 6344 1335.

Age of Fishes Museum Warren Keedle poses like a velociraptor with “James”, the velociraptor that has arrived from the National Dinosaur Museum in Canberra.

Velociraptor Arrives To Meet Ancestors

A light-hearted conversation between Canowindra’s Age of Fishes Museum Manager Warren Keedle and Canberra’s National Dinosaur Museum Director Tom Kapitany has lead to a velociraptor coming to Canowindra.

The reptile, not a real one but a life-sized model, is on lease at the Age of Fishes Museum until further notice, and has been brought to town to visit its ancient ancestors in the fish that are on display at the Museum.

It’s staggering to think that a fish could be related to a dinosaur, but science has proven that all land animals have evolved from fish over millions of years.

The velociraptor has arrived at the Age of Fishes museum because many of the fish on display at the Museum are actually related to it.

The fish fossils discovered in Canowindra that are on display at the Museum are around 300 million years, and some species of fish’s front limbs developed over time to form arms and legs. This led to the evolution of amphibians, which over many millions of years eventually evolved into reptiles and dinosaurs.

Mr Keedle said he had wanted a dinosaur to make an appearance at the museum to visit its ancestors, and when joking about this on the phone to Mr Kapitany, a deal was actually struck.

“I said to Tom Kapitany ‘it would be great to have one of your dinosaurs come and see its ancestors’ and he said ‘I’ll see what I can do’, and then sent a velociraptor up to us,” Mr Keedle said.

“I believe it’s the first dinosaur to come to Canowindra. It’s a life-sized, 70 million year old velociraptor, and we’ve unofficially named it ‘James’.”

The velociraptor is currently being kept inside the main front doors at the Museum, but may be moved outside from time to time so people can see it better.

Net Set Go is a modified version of netball aimed to teach young people the skills required in the sport, and was launched in Canowindra by the Cowra Netball Association, this year. The program has been running at the Canowindra Sports Oval each Friday afternoon.

Being a runner-up, ANZ awarded Canowindra Net Set Go a set of goal posts and a Net Set Go banner.

Cowra Netball Association Net Set Go Coordinator Kristen Ryan has been in attendance at Canowindra Net Set Go, and said it was great to see the Canowindra community getting involved in local netball and the girls having a great time whilst improving their skills. New netball courts are also being built at the Canowindra Sports Oval.

“All the hard work and fundraising will provide the community with facilities to accommodate growth in netball in Canowindra,” she said. Net Set Go will finish on August 26 with a sausage sizzle and a presentation.

PYTHONS FINAL HIT-OUT

The Canowindra Pythons have missed out on the 2016 Southern Graincorp Cup finals, being convincingly defeated by Blayney 81-7 in Blayney last Saturday.

The Pythons only had 14 players, but the good news is the boys didn’t get flogged 98-0 like Mudgee defeated them a number years ago. To Blayney’s credit, who had 30 players to choose from, they gave the Pythons two of their own. Two of their Under 19s Colts players, who play for Cowra, also turned up and donned a Pythons jersey.

Matt Goswich was playing against his dad, and he was told to give him everything he had. With nothing on the line, the boys were told to have fun, with front row forward Jacob Baker kicking a Peter Staceylike kick, and Todd Wyburn’s attempt at a field goal shaving the paint off the post.

But the highlight was “Proud to be a Bowd” and new father, Daniel Bowd’s chip and chase, re-gather, and try scored under the posts. Dan then took the conversion.

The three points for man of the match, and the players’ player award, went to Mitchell White. The two points went to Clayton Maynard and one went to Todd Wyburn and Daniel Bowd. We also gave a point to a young Blayney player, Jake Smith.

The Pythons Presentation Night has been set down for the 27th August at 6.30pm at the Canowindra Bowling Club. All members, guests, sponsors and players are invited to attend. Please RSVP by the 20th of August for catering purposes to Canowindra Newsagency. Phone 6344 1618.
