Snippets... Burglars: disturbed in act South Canowindra! A resident on Robinson Street awoke to dogs barking around 4am Saturday 10 November & after turning on an inside light, one male ran past the front window, the other male ran in the opposite direction. Police were notified via Triple Zero 000. For emergencies call Triple Zero: 000 Or report incidents on PAL 131 444 Make sure these numbers are by your phone. There is no need to contact the police station. When you call 131 444 the operator will take your statement & forward information through electronically. This will show that an incident has been reported in Canowindra, & the more incidents reported, the more likely we will have an officer rostered on to patrol our community. Research: Have you cared for someone who died at home with support of friends and family? The UWS caring at the end of life project is looking for people who have, to participate in this project. If you would like to participate by being interviewed, call the University of Western Sydney Research Officer Niki 02 4736 0368. Hopefully this worthwhile project will influence future policy in rural areas! Twilight: Gun Club will be holding a Practice Day on Friday 16 November from 5pm with a barbecue tea afterwards. Monthly Club Day is Sunday 18 November at 12noon.

RE CYCLE Cabonne residents are being encouraged to take their recycling habits into the community, their workplaces and schools. That’s the message of Recycling Week which runs from the 12-18 November 2012. Cabonne Mayor Ian Gosper said Recycling Week provided the perfect opportunity to commend local residents on their recycling efforts over the past few years. “The amount of material recycled through our six recycling depots continues to grow rapidly as people become more aware of the economic and environmental benefits of recycling,” Cr Gosper said. “One of the best features of Recycling Week is that it helps make people aware of just how important recycling is for our environment. “Recycling Week organisers want recycling to become second nature in our workplaces, schools and wider community. “I’d be surprised if there was not a strong culture of recycling in most workplaces and schools in Cabonne but, just like at home, there is always room for improve-ment.” Cabonne residents can drop recyclable goods between 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm on Wednesdays and Sundays at Cargo, Canowindra, Manildra and Cumnock waste disposal depots. They can also recycle goods between the same hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays at Eugowra waste depot and Yeoval transfer station. Recyclables are received free at Council’s stations and include plastics, paper, card-board, glass bottles and jars, aluminium cans, e-waste, motor oils, batteries and scrap metal. Some kerbside collections are also available through contractors JR Richards. Cr Gosper said each of Cabonne’s waste depots had a variety of recycled goods for sale. “A wide range of items including bicycles, furniture, books, prams and strollers can be bought for just a few dollars,” he said.

STOP PRESS: Rumour has it that Bendy Street Emporium is closing down, which is partially true. Kate Barclay, proprietor of Bendy Street has advised, "Our bricks and mortar store is closing to allow me to concentrate fully on the online side and to develop the design studio and pop up part of the business which is taking off. It will also allow me to be the Mum to three, wife to the farmer, bookkeeper, cleaner, chef, daughter and gardener in no particular order mind you. "2013 is shaping up to be amazing for Bendy Street and I would love you to share the Bendy Street FaceBook page and sign up for our newsletter so you can visit the studio and see what I have been working on in my spare time." To celebrate, Bendy Street Emporium is having a massive sale, mostly because Kate is not fond of packing. It will also make room for the new stock being planned for the online store which will be getting a makeover in 2013. Kate wishes to thank everyone who has been a part of the Bendy Street adventure and make sure you visit before December 24 when the doors close on 53 Gaskill Street.

THE ALAN JACKSON TRIBUTE SHOW Since 1989, Alan Jackson has released 19 albums, earned 35 number one hit singles (23 of which he wrote himself) and amassed record sales of more than 50 million. He is the most nominated artist in CMA (Country Music Association) history and has won more than 95 industry awards, including the highest honour, "Entertainer of the Year" three times. Alan Jackson may be known as a small town southern man, but there is nothing small about his first headline tour of Australia. Tickets for Jackson’s 12 March 2011, third show in Brisbane added to Jackson’s tour Down Under due to high ticket demand, sold out in Australia in a mere 23 minutes. Alan Jackson has proven he is a Country music icon, and his Australian fans have proven that they crave to see all those hits performed live. This makes the timing perfect to launch the “Alan Jackson Tribute Show” starring Dail Platz as Alan Jackson and also as special guest - Charlie Daniels. Dail is not only a talented Vocalist and “Multi-Instrumentalist”, he is also a daunting perfectionist. He maintains an amazingly high standard of professional-ism in everything he does. An excellent musician playing Acoustic and Electric guitars, Mandolin and Banjo, he is also one of Australia’s top fiddle players. It is no wonder he has been filling rooms and wowing audiences throughout Australia and loving it! Dail Platz will be bringing his Alan Jackson Tribute Show to the Canowindra Community Bowls and Recreation club this Friday 16 November with doors opening at 7:30pm with the show starting at 8pm. Tickets are available now at the Club and are selling fast, so get in quick as there is only limited seating available. The cost is $12 for members, $15 for non members, or $15 at the door. Come along for a great night out, have dinner at the Chinese Restaurant and enjoy some classic country tunes.

EARLY MORNING LAP SWIMMING Lisa Cartwright and Jarrod Strange of Canowindra Pool wish to advise that based on feedback early morning swimming will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7-8am beginning Tuesday 4 December 2012. Lisa and Jarrod are hoping to get at least 10 swimmers per morning to make the extended hours worthwhile. As parents of three young children Lisa and Jarrod are determined to accommodate what swimmers want, however if numbers fall below 10 for two consecutive weeks, the early opening times will be reviewed and discontinued if not being utilised.

To the editor... On behalf of the Canowindra RSL sub branch I would like to thank former defence force personnel and the community for their attendance at Memorial Park on Remembrance Day. And to all the schools and clubs for laying the wreaths and their participation at the service. Also, to Reverend Jono for saying the prayer, and also to the members of the Canowindra RSL Sub Branch who helped sell the poppies in the main street, and who participated at the Remembrance Day service. Well done Canowindra! Mike Harrison, President - Canowindra RSL Sub Branch.

Even if you don't take up a position in the committee, bring your feedback so that you can be part of a whole community event. Everyone is welcome, and urged to attend.

JAZZ FOR JUNIORS Ali Toole (above left) and Gabby Yeo (above right) had great ideas, to hold jazz classes for young people. Earlier this year, after having organised advertising separately, the two realised that they could combine their talents and skills and offer twice as much support and guidance with half the effort. Now, the two enterprising young women have created a new group of which they can be proud. Canowindra Jazz have been holding classes throughout the year, and will be holding activity days throughout the Summer Holidays for girls and BOYS aged between 4-15 years. It won't all be dancing, there will be sports and games held, using the equipment available at the Public School Hall. Gabby and Ali will provide drinks and afternoon tea, however they ask parents or carers to supply a packed lunch and a hat for the children. Drop your kids off at the Canowindra Primary School Hall at 11am and pick them up at 3pm on the following days: Ages 4-9: Tuesday January 8, 15 & 22 Ages 10-15: Wednesday January 9, 16 & 23 The cost is only $30 per child per session; or the family package is $30 for the first child, then $15 for each child thereafter. There have been quite a few bookings taken already, so don't leave it too late. Book your child in now by calling Ali on 0439 185 066 or Gabby on 02 6344 1638.

REPORT CRIME to the Police Assistance Line

on 131 444 Emergencies: Triple Zero 000

...then post on facebook at Crime In Canowindra

CRIME IN CANOWINDRA Determined to make a difference, local father, business owner and activist Phil Gersbach is tackling crime from a community level, or as Phil calls it a "common unity". Following months of criminal activity, from dog baitings to burglaries, Phil is urging residents to become part of a facebook group: Crime in Canowindra. The group was recently established to create a network of locals to keep track of what's going on, when and where, in town. How it works: after reporting incidents to police on 131 444 (please use this in-stead of the police station number), or Triple Zero 000 if you are in an emer-gency situation, you post the information on Crime in Canowindra, email to crimeincanowindransw@hotmail.com (or contact Phil 0429 234 996 if you don't have internet connection). Always remember prevention is better than any risk, so lock your windows and doors when you are not home, and be-fore you retire for the night. Don't leave valuables lying around your home or in your vehicle, and lock your car when it is not being used. PLEASE NOTE: this group is not a place to report crime, only to track it in the community. Please contact 131 444 or Triple Zero 000 in the first instance. Further information will be presented over the coming weeks, leading up to Christmas, including tips on how to ensure your family's safety and security.

Monday 12th November 2012

Remembrance Day: It was great to see people of all ages turn out to Remembrance Day services on Sunday, including in Bathurst, where the local RSL put on a very special service to commemorate Australian troops who have died in action. Even 94 years on from the signing of the Armistice which ended World War One, it is always good to see people stop what they’re doing at 11am to pause and remember the sacrifice of 103,000 Australian service men and women. This year alone, seven Australians have died in action in Afghanistan, fighting to protect the ideals and freedom we as Australians should be grateful for. Commemorations continue despite funding cuts: I would like to thank those Australian Air Force Cadets who assisted in officiating Remembrance Day services in the region at the weekend. It was extremely disappointing Government funding cuts forced the withdrawal of Army Reservists from attending Remembrance Day services in an official capacity this year. In fact, Army Reserves have been forced to reduce training days by as much as 27% as a result of this Government’s financial mismanagement. It was a new low for this Government, but local Air Force cadets certainly filled the roll with great respect and professionalism, and I congratulate them on doing a fantastic job. World Diabetes Day: Wednesday this week marks World Diabetes Day, and it’s a good time to take a minute to think about your health and that of your family’s. According to figures released by the Australian Diabetes Council, 6.9 people per 100 have diabetes in Lithgow; 5.61 per 100 people in Cabonne and Blayney and 4.99 people per 100 in Bathurst have diabetes. There are approximately 366 million people worldwide who have diabetes. Out of this figure, 1.15 million Australians have been officially diagnosed with the disease. As diabetes becomes a national health priority, we need to take action and make changes in our lives to protect our health and the health of our children – and that can be as simple as sitting down to a healthy meal each day.

MATTERS OF STATE with TROY GRANT MP Member for Dubbo 12 November 2012

One dozen of our dedicated local women volunteers have had their outstanding contribution to the social wellbeing of the community recognised with their inclusion on the 2012 Hidden Treasure Honour Roll. This year's Roll of Honour was unveiled at a ceremony in Parkes organised by the NSW Rural Women's Gathering. Some 126 women from across the state were honoured for their efforts with no less than seven of our local recipients coming from Forbes. Volunteers from Parkes, Peak Hill, Manildra and Tichborne also made it onto the Roll. The Honour Roll acknowledges the valuable role played by dedicated volunteer women and the many inspiring stories they bring to a diverse range of unpaid activities. Charities like the Red Cross, the Cancer Council, Meals on Wheels as well as hospitals, fire brigades and rescue services have come to depend on these ladies and would struggle to survive without such an outstanding volunteer contribution. Following her visit to Dubbo last week to launch a four year plan to increase access to palliative care throughout rural and regional NSW, Health Minister Jillian Skinner has wasted no time by announcing the establishment of a Ministerial Advisory Committee for Rural Health. The aim of the committee will be to improve the delivery of health care and the general health of rural communities across NSW. Made up of rural clinicians, community members and members of local health districts, the committee will provide advice to the minister on ways to improve patient services in rural NSW. The Dubbo electorate is fortunate that in Jillian Skinner we have a Health Minister who not only understands the issues faced by rural communities but who recognises that when delivering health services to these communities it is vitally important that local clinicians and community members have a role to play in determining appropriate models of care. The Agency for Clinical Innovation will develop a Rural Health Network, which will play a vital role in coordinating models of care in rural areas and advising how they can best be implemented by local health districts. They will also be collectively responsible for the development of the Rural Health Plan 2013-2017. This initiative is a further demonstration of the NSW Government's commitment to improving patient care in rural and regional areas. On Wednesday this week we mark World Diabetes Day. More than one million Australian's have been diagnosed with the disease, 400,000 of those suffers reside in New South Wales. Diabetes is a chronic disease that is diagnosed when there are abnormally high levels of glucose or sugar in the blood. More than three million or one in four Australian adults over the age of 25 have either diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance which is often referred to as pre-diabetes. There are two main types: Type 1 which is insulin dependent diabetes and represents 10-15% of cases; and Type 2 which is non-insulin dependent and represents 85-90% of cases and may be prevented in around 60% of people at risk. The incidence of diabetes in Narromine, Forbes and Dubbo is disturbing with 6.99, 6.50 and 6.41 residents per one hundred respectively suffering from the condition. The Australian Diabetes Council recommends that we can take a positive first step towards protecting our own health and that of our children by preparing a home cooked meal on Wednesday evening, one that includes plenty of fresh vegetables. Studies show that children who regularly sit down to a meal with their family are more likely have good social skills and table manners, and are more likely to try new foods and learn healthy eating behaviours. You can show your support for the cause by wearing something blue on 14 November, blue being the international colour of diabetes. As the fastest growing chronic disease in the community, we all have a responsibility to do what we can to slow the progress of this health epidemic. People who are concerned about diabetes or would like further information can visit www.australiandiabetescouncil.com or call 1300 342 238 to speak with an expert. The NSW Government is calling upon qualified members of the public to put their hand up to join the NSW Crown Holiday Parks Trust Board. The new board will oversee existing trusts that currently manage 26 holiday parks on the north and south coasts, as well as the seven state parks, including Lake Burrendong State Park. The board will set the framework for management and accountability for these recreational reserves enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year. The board offers an opportunity for motivated candidates to add genuine value to inland tourism across NSW. Candidates with experience in business, finance, the tourism industry and a broad range of life experience are encouraged to apply for a position before applications close on December 7. Those looking to make a contribution to managing these unique, publicly-owned regional tourism businesses should obtain an information package and application form which can be downloaded from the website www.crownland.nsw.gov.au.

AQUA THERAPY CLASSES TO START SOON!!! For all those people who want to have fun and improve their fitness, Spring is here and Summer just around the corner which means the start of aqua therapy classes. Exercises in the water are easier to do and less stressful on the joints. You do not need to be able to swim to take part in the aqua therapy classes. The hour long session involves walking in the water, specific exercises for each joint, aerobic exercises and cool down stretches. “The aqua therapy classes over the past number of years have been a lot of fun, and participants felt their fitness and energy levels improved” says Physiotherapy Aide Angela Ellis. “There is increasing evidence about the benefits of physical activity. Exercising regularly reduces the risk of heart disease and strokes, improves muscle strength and balance, and helps with weight control, diabetes and high blood pressure. And above all, it makes you feel good. These classes are a good way to start or to provide variety, if you already exercise regularly,” says Angela. The aqua therapy classes will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 9am to 10am from Monday 3 December. The classes are for adult men and women, and all newcomers are welcome to attend. The cost is $2.30 for pool entry unless you have a season ticket. For further information, please contact Angela Ellis, Sue Johnson or Ashley Wright at Canowindra Soldier’s Memorial Hospital, Physiotherapy Department on 02 6340 3017.

SWIMMING CLUB NEWS Over 75 swimmers turned up for Swimming Club this week and times tumbled despite it being only Week 2. Super fast in the Spoon were Tom Mitchell and Harry Coady who took 6 and 7 seconds off their times respectively. The Spoon semis and final were very close races with the place judges being asked to separate the swimmers on two occasions. In the final semi Brooke Kinsela found the extra energy to hold off the fast finishing males to make it into the final. While in the Spoon Final Michael Coady started in Lane one and swam like Ian Thorpe was after him, to edge out Jamie Austin and Zali Dunn and take the Spoon home in a PB of 46 seconds. Forty two swimmers took part in the relay and after all were swum the winner was Lane 2 with Tom Mitchell, Marshall McKay, Tori McKay, Josie Clements, Angus Fisher, Wade Kinsela and Josh Flannery awarded the winners pennants. Special thanks goes to Kylie Reeves assisted on the race secretary’s table in just her second night of swimming club. A big thank you to Kylie for being brave enough to help with a job that isn’t rocket science but is constant over the night. Could all swimmers please remember that roll call is at 5:45pm and all swimmers need to be at the pool by then!!! (or else!) See you on Friday afternoon.
