Windowrie’s 2017 ‘The Mill’ Shiraz has been awarded a gold medal and the trophy for best Shiraz of Show at the recent Cowra Wine Show. The wine went on to win the Greg Johnston award for best local red. The Windowrie Family Reserve has also been awarded the best local red in the Australian Single Vineyard section of the show.

"Winning the trophy for best Shiraz of the show is a huge boost for the regions winemakers," Jason O'Dea commented.

“This trophy reflects the quality of wine being made in our region. It was a competitive class with wines from all over Australia and to see a local Shiraz win is very encouraging.”

Windowrie have had considerable success in recent wine shows and this trophy has made it a trifecta for the company. The 'Family Reserve' Shiraz and 'Pig in the House' Shiraz have also been awarded gold medals and trophies in recent months.

David O’Dea purchased Windowrie in the 1950’s and the family have been making wine for over 20 years. “We are so pleased to be recognised at our local show. I am just so proud of the team we have here at

Windowrie. Making great wine is really a team effort,’’ said David.

“These are wines made for ‘drinkability’ and food friendliness. Our goal is to make wines that you can enjoy at any time and enjoy a second glass,” said Windowrie Winemaker, Anthony D’Onise. “It really is an exciting time with our wines winning awards on a regular basis, supporting what we are doing in the vineyard and winery.”

All the grapes for these wines are from the family’s vineyards and all the wines are made at the local Windowrie winery.

Fire Up This Winter At The Orange Winter Fire Festival

For the first time, Orange will enjoy a new Winter Fire Festival from 3-5 August 2018.

General Manager of Orange360, Caddie Marshall, said that winter is the perfect time to showcase the Orange region in all its winter glory and has her fingers crossed for another dusting of snow.

“The Orange Winter Fire Festival is inspired by the Australian cracker night bonfire tradition and will include bonfires, char grilled feasts, star gazing from both European and Indigenous perspectives and blazing Sunday lunches in country pubs, cafes and restaurants,” said Ms Marshall.

“We can offer people an authentic country winter experience with crisp clear days, starry skies, hearty food, cosy fireplaces and elegant cool climate wines. Our producers and venues are really turning up the heat and have designed some truly unique events.”

On Friday 3rd August, Millthorpe Village will turn into a winter wonderland with live

music by Smith and Jones, and food and wine market stalls in Pym Street. There will also be a Fiery Friday event from 6-8pm at Ross Hill Wines.

There will be various events on Saturday 4th August throughout Orange, Nashdale and Molong. Eugowra will be host to The Aussie Fire Buckets’ Camp Oven Cook Off with a camp oven cooking competition, markets, bar facilities, music and kids entertainment.

Sunday 5th August will wrap up the festival with Cargo Village Market Day or Sunday Street Food at the Greenhouse in Orange and a great choice of venues for a cosy Sunday lunch in Orange or Carcoar.

If the sounds of warm mulled cider and apple tart makes your taste buds tingle head to Small Acres Cider in Borenore and be warmed from the inside out.

For more information and to see the full program of events visit www.orangewinterfirefestival.com.au

Canowindra Community Garden has recently been granted $4,917 as part of Cabonne Council’s second round of the Community Assistance Program. The Community Garden was named as one of eight community programs in the Cabonne Shire to receive a grant from Council out of a total of $35,000.

This grant will allow the Community Garden to spend much needed funds on some new equipment and learning opportunities for members of the community.

Margie Crowther, the Community Garden Co-Ordinator, applied for this grant back in March. “It’s great to have Cabonne Council’s support in allowing us to provide more opportunities for local people to learn more sustainable living skills”, said Margie. “We harvest some really great produce from the garden”.

The Community Garden is a public, productive garden situated in the grounds of the Uniting Church and can be used by anyone in the local community. Most of the plants are edible and people are encouraged to take a share and also contribute. It allows people to learn and share their gardening skills.

If you do benefit from the garden regularly, it would be much appreciated if you could contribute a small amount of your time by helping with the gardening at any time or come along to the working bee held every Friday morning between 9-11am at 38 Blatchford St.

$3,000 IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR MEMORIAL GARDEN IN CANOWINDRA The Canowindra RSL Sub-Branch has received $3,000 from the Australian Government to upgrade a memorial garden at the Canowindra Soldiers emorial Hospital.

The grant, which has been delivered through the Australian Government’s Armistice Centenary Grants Program, will be used to install two bench seats, paving and a bronze plaque, and is a fitting tribute to acknowledge the end of the war 100 years ago.

ACCC RELEASES REPORT INTO ELECTRICITY MARKET

I welcome the ACCC’s report on power prices, which recommends that the Australian Government guarantee reliable baseload power in the electricity market.

The report was much punchier and went a lot further than I thought it would.

It’s also vindicated the position of The Nationals, which has been to get more baseload power into the network.

We have some major power users in Central Western New South Wales, which collectively employ thousands of people, and without the Australian Government guaranteeing baseload power there is a real risk of investors walking away from them in the longer term.

The ball is now in the government’s court to implement the ACCC’s recommendations. I’m going to find it very difficult to support the National Energy Guarantee if this doesn’t happen.

While the NEG provides emission and reliability guarantees, I’m concerned that it does not tackle the key element of power prices in a meaningful enough way.

I think the ACCC report also vindicates widespread community belief that power companies were gaming the system and gouging consumers.

The ACCC has shined a light on what the community has known for a long time: that they are being taken for a ride. The task of federal and state governments is to now fix this broken system.

SUPPORTING OUR FARMERS DURING DROUGHT

Our farmers are extraordinarily resilient, but many are struggling with this drought.

If we want them to continue being a key source of our national success and prosperity we need to be supporting them to get through it.

I recently moved a motion in the Australian Parliament supporting the extension of the Farm Household Allowance Scheme, from three to four years. The Scheme helps our farmers put food on the table and diesel in the ute when they have no income. It provides couples with just under $1,000 per fortnight or $530 - $580 for singles.

Andrew with Canowindra RSL Sub Branch President Michael Harrison, Treasurer Ian McIlvain, Secretary Christine Sampson and Canowindra Health Service Manager Janice Rumph.

CAREER TRANSITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TRIAL COMMENCES IN CALARE Mature-age people will soon benefit from increased employment opportunities through the Federal Government’s Career Transition Assistance (CTA) program trial which commences this month in the Central West – the only trial site in NSW. The CTA program provides practical assistance to help older Australians gain the contemporary skills they need to move into ongoing employment.

Five locations across the country will undertake the CTA trial designed to help older workers become more competitive in their local labour markets through tailored, intensive workshops, designed to build on their transferable skills.

OCTEC Limited and VERTO Ltd will deliver CTA in the Central West and participants will attend one or both of two career transition courses; Tailored Career Assistance and Functional Digital Literacy. They will also have an opportunity to work alongside other mature age people looking for work and be led by a facilitator experienced in career coaching or professional development.

For more information, phone 13 62 68 or visit www.jobs. gov.au/ career-transition-assistance

In my speech to the Australian Parliament I said:

I also urge all Australians to support our farmers and to remember that our farmers are the ones who actually put food on the table for the nation. People in cities go into the supermarket and take for granted that the food just appears.

But it doesn’t just appear; that food comes from our Australian farmers in electorates right across our nation.

We can’t take our farmers for granted, they are our fellow Australians and that’s why we need to be supporting them any way we can. Unless some decent rains come soon, more help is going to be needed.

For more information on the Farm Household Allowance contact the Department of Human Services Farmer Assistance Hotline on 13 23 16.

Coota Park Blue-E Beef Production Field Day

Poisonous Plant Problems During Drought

Coota Park Blue-E will be holding a Beef Production Field Day on Wednesday 1st August from 10am at Coota Park, Woodstock.

The Field Day will have a number of special guest speakers that will be covering a range of topics concerning today’s producer. “Topics will include issues from climate change, discussing the current environmental challenges, to succession planning for families dealing with how to move through the generations and prevent any issues from arising. With the drought and value of feed at the forefront of every farmers thoughts there will also be talks to cover this topic,” says Jon Wright of Coota Park.

President of the Australian Lot Feeders Association, Tess Herbert, will be discussing the value of the feedlot industry to farmers as well as the myths, challenges and opportunities associated with this. Andrew Rodgers, Director of Beef Bank, will also be speaking on the day about setting up a supply chain to help feed the homeless by donating beef.

“We will be having mature and open conversations on the day about the current environmental changes and how we as farmers can adapt with this,” said Jon. All are welcome to the Field Day. It is free of charge and lunch will be provided. This year’s sale bulls will also be available for viewing on the day. The Coota Park Blue-E Annual On Property Bull Sale will be held on Tuesday 4th September with 50 bulls on offer.

Due to the current drought conditions, poisonous plants that have existed in a paddock for years without any obvious issues may become a problem. Usually these plants are unattractive to livestock but with the shortage of feed, hunger forces them to search for additional feed and a green pick. Plants such as rock fern, cathead or heliotrope cause issues such as photosensitization, polioencephalomalacia or pyrrolizidine toxicity. If suspected plant poisoning occurs change paddocks immediately and look for evidence of these plants being grazed.

Local Land Services have developed a Drought Handbook with support available in the Central Tablelands to help you manage through drought. To view an online copy visit www.centraltablelands.lls.nsw. gov.au or pick up a copy at the local office or saleyards.

COMPUTERBytes We all know that laptops & desktops slow down with age & use! One of the major factors is wear & tear on the hard disk along with the system just getting cluttered. If your PC is slowing down, freezing or locks up frequently then it may need an overhaul.

If the hard disk is faulty or too slow it can be replaced and then Windows can be reinstalled along with all your valuable information.

Hard disk drives have issues with bad blocks, weak blocks or slow blocks with the last issue being not as serious but annoying, a possible sign of failure. If your hard disk is noisy or makes a clunking sound, then it’s time to replace. Usually it’s cheaper to replace the drive and re-install rather than buy a new PC. I have tools that check the quality of your drive and can make appropriate recommendations.

GREEN Thumb Upon returning home after spending a few days on the coast recently, it “hit home” to me how grey and colourless gardens in our region can be in winter. This prompted me to write about what we can grow in our gardens in this region to give us more colour at this bleak time of year.

Annual plants that we can fill beds and pots in the garden with and that will give us flower colour now include violas, pansies and polyanthus.

Perennial shrubs that flower now or over the next month or so, include camellias (japonicas for shady, protected spots; sasanquas for more sunny spots), daphne (beautiful fragrance) and flowering quince (chaenomeles). This latter, deciduous shrub that comes in white, pink and red flowering forms is amongst the most eye catching and hardy winter flowering shrubs.

Another evergreen shrub that is less well known in our region, is erica-commonly known as heath or heather. They generally have small, needle like leaves and there are a range of cultivars with white, pink and red flowers in winter.

Hellebores, commonly known as winter roses, are great for shady spots in the garden and are beginning to come into flower in my garden now. We all know the old fashioned cultivars that produce reddish, downwards facing flowers. There are some new cultivars and hybrids that I got into the nursery from a Victorian grower recently, that range from pure white to deep purple and variegated flowers.

A couple of Australian native shrubs that flower in winter are worth considering too.

Correas are available as cultivars that produce bell shaped white, pink or red flowers.

Wax flower (Philotheca) is a hardy Australian native shrub that gets covered in pink buds at this time of year that open to lovely, star shaped white flowers.

Finally, we shouldn’t overlook the old fashioned Nandina which comes in a couple of dwarf forms that grow to less than a meter high and whose foliage turn bright orange/red in winter. Great, hardy border plants with eye catching colour.

Canowindra Baroquefest Creating Business Opportunities Canowindra Baroquefest is now in its fourth year and will again present an excellent program of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists and a variety of music over the weekend of October 19-21.

Tickets are selling well, bringing visitors from Sydney, Canberra and afar to enjoy great music in our historic small town and beautiful rural surrounds. Baroquefest is unique to Canowindra. It belongs to the town just as the Balloon Challenge does. It creates custom for Canowindra businesses and will do so more and more as the year’s progress and Baroquefest becomes established as an annual event.

Hospitality businesses are perhaps first in line to benefit. The very small Baroquefest committee is inviting all hospitality business owners, (food and accommodation) to an information morning and coffee at Montrose House on Monday 6th August at 10.00am.

The committee also invites volunteers to the gathering at Montrose House on Monday 6th August at 10.00am and is seeking assistance over the weekend of the event.

Being a volunteer enables you to be part of the festival at no cost. Help is needed in preparing the hall for wine tasting, decorating venues, putting out chairs, setting up lights, microphone etc. and a myriad of other essential small duties that are necessary to ensure that the festival is a success.

Friends who have filled this role before as well as anyone volunteering for the first time will be welcomed by the committee and thanked by the town for joining in the community spirit and lending a hand.

Please send your contact phone number to judymcl@borderent.com.au and set aside the date to join the committee at Montrose House.

Canowindra local, Mikaela Slattery has successfully gained employment with Blayney Veterinary Hospital during practical work placement as part of her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing at TAFE NSW Orange.

Mikaela is one of 11 students participating in practical work placement two days a week as part of the course. “This particular class of students is really dedicated and focussed. This is matched equally by their enthusiasm. The feedback we’re receiving from the participating veterinary clinics has been really positive,” TAFE NSW Animal Studies Teacher Kelli Johnston said.

“The work placements began in February, and the fact that half of the class has already secured part-time employment at their respective clinics, not only proves how talented this class is, but also demonstrates the exciting employment outcomes as a result of studying at TAFE NSW.” “Every January we are approached by students who see themselves as veterinary nurses and are seeking workplace experience. These requests aren’t taken lightly by us – we weigh up their personal attributes and see if they are a good fit for our team,” Blayney Veterinary Hospital owner Dr Ruth

Thompson said.

“Mikaela walked into the practice with a resume in hand and the first thing we noticed was how nicely she presented and how politely she introduced herself. After interviewing well, I had no hesitation in asking Mikaela to join us - I just had the feeling she could be a future employee.”

“As the year has progressed, we have found Mikaela to be a charming person, hard worker, an excellent colleague and very, very reliable. Now when another nurse or kennel assistant is unable to come to work it’s Mikaela we turn to because she’s part of the family now.”

CANOWINDRA SPORT CANOWINDRA TIGERS Canowindra Tigers played Burrangong Bears on Sunday and were expected to win and they didn’t disappoint, winning the game 64 points to 4.

Burrangong put up a gallant effort in the first half containing the Tigers to only 18 points to 4 at half time. Some players were rested due to some minor injuries which allowed the opportunity for some junior players to have a run and they played really well. In the first half Canowindra were a little disjointed as their combination broke down at certain times. After some good words from the coach Dan Barclay they worked on their set plays and eyes up football to run in 42 points in the second half in a very good display of rugby league.

Congratulations to Angus Fisher on making his first grade debut, he performed really well.

This put the Tigers in 2nd spot with 2 rounds left. 3 points went to Tim Wythes, 2 points to Lachlan Robinson and 1 point each to Shannon Lee, Alex Willson and Alan Clark. Player’s player was Lachlan Robinson.

Next week the Tigers take on competition leaders Trundle at Trundle and the week after they play a home game against Eugowra on Saturday.

CANOWINDRA PYTHONS On Saturday the Pythons made the trip to Condo to take on the Rams. Through a lot of injuries and work commitments the Pythons could only just rally up a team. The Condo boys leant a few blokes to allow us to have a decent bench which was much appreciated from the Canowindra team.

The Pythons started really slow in the first half and let two quick tries in. The boys regathered and started to play with a bit more aggression through Dan Bowd, Hayden Ewart and Jayden Simpson in the forwards and Kenny Turnbull and Tom Roth led the backs around well. The Rams were still able to put two more tries in by the end of the first half.

The boys started to really play a lot better in the second half and through Stu Gavin, Timmy Bray and an old Python favourite Sam Wythes the boys finally made some metres and were able to give some good balls to the backs. The boys had some fun and tried nearly every trick in the book including a lot of chip and chases which made for an entertaining game of football.

The only try for the Pythons was scored by Adam Nash who busted through the defence to scoot 30 to 40 metres down the field getting rid of a couple of would-betacklers on the way.

The final score was 37-5 though the game was played in great spirit from both teams and was an enjoyable game to play and watch.

Points went to the ever reliable Ronnie Lawrence with 3. Nigel Knight, who has been one of the most dedicated players this year, received 2 points. 1 point went to Adam Nash. Players player went to Sam Wythes in his first game back in a couple of years.

This was the last game of the year and the club would like to thank Coach John Grant who has been a pleasure to have part of the club with his presence felt both on and off the field. Thanks to all the players who played this year and got the Pythons back on the paddock after not forming last year.

A date for presso night will be decided this week and will be a fantastic night.
