IMAGE: Cr Gosper congratulates Mayor Michael Hayes

New Mayor Of Cabonne Elected! Yesterday Cr Michael Hayes was elected un-opposed as the new Mayor of Cabonne fol-lowing the retirement of our former Mayor Ian Gosper. The decision went down to the wire as there were no initial nominations for the role until Cr Hayes stepped after being ap-proached by fellow councillors. Cr Hayes said that he wasn’t seeking Mayor status when he was elected to Council two years ago, “I can only hope I live up to the confidence shown in me by my fellow councillors,” the new Mayor said. “I will do my best to continue the excel-lent work that Cr Gosper has done in the past two years. I stood for Council because I be-lieved it was time to give something back to the community and this is a great opportunity to continue doing that.” Cr Hayes said that he wanted to see Ca-

bonne continue to grow, prosper and retain its unique rural lifestyle. Cr Gosper said he had thoroughly enjoyed his time as Mayor, but after long considera-tion had decided to spend more time with his family and on his farming business. He said that he was particularly proud of Cabonne’s commitment to spend millions of dollars on maintaining roads while other councils strug-gle to upgrade them. “We have continued to make roads the major focus of our budgets and we’ve replaced all but three of more than 150 timber bridges” he said. “This means we are well positioned to play a lead role in local government reform in the coming years.” We wish the new Mayor the best of luck.

LettersDear Editor,

Zoe Rathbone, Jeanie O’Malveney’s grand-daughter, recently visited the Age of Fishes Museum with her family. Zoe had such an amazing and memorable experience that when she returned home to Sydney, she did a presentation to her Kindergarten class about what she had learnt! Many thanks to the staff at the museum for providing an excellent educational programme; I would highly recommend a visit to this fantastic museum!

Sincerely, Mel Rathbone

New Rules For Fishermen! - Changes are washing over NSW fishing from 3rd Novem-ber 2014. 16 changes to bag and size limits plus gear will apply to recreational saltwater and freshwater fishers. Some of these include catch and release requirement (maximum size limit) intro-duced for Murray cod caught at more than 80 cm (the current minimum size limit of 60cm remains) and change of marking re-quirements of recreational nets and traps to specify trap type, fisher’s initial and sur-name, year of birth and postcode. Fishing is an integral part of the communities across NSW, with more than one million recreation-al fishers that wet a line each year. Recrea-tional anglers will have time to adjust to the new rules, with an advisory period of three months from the commencement date ap-plying. For any fishermen ( or women) who want to know more about these rules go to www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational

IMAGE: 2014 Showgirl entrants

Showgirl’s Show Off Their TalentsThere was a sprinkling of glamour last Satur-day at the Canowindra Showgirl Ball as the Canowindra Showgirl entrants dressed to impress. The Bowling Club was buzzing with excitement with over 150 people present to support the talented young ladies. And even though all the contestants looked stunning, the competition isn’t about beauty, it’s about empowering local young women in rural com-munities. Kristy White, a previous Showgirl who repre-

sented Canowindra, introduced the evening, speaking of her roles and duties performed throughout the year. The Senior and Junior contestants were then awarded their sashes and Cheryl Newsom interviewed the Seniors. Amy Wythes was first up for question-ing. After finishing school, Amy relocated to Queensland as a jillaroo for the Australian Agricultural Company and three years later she has now returned to complete a degree in Animal Science at Wagga University

The second contestant, Ashley Beaton, is 18 and studied agriculture and music at school. After year 12 she began a career in agriculture and works at Moxy’s Dairy. She practises singing in her spare time and hopes to one day have a career as a performer. Demi Grimshaw, contestant number three, is also 18 and has recently returned from Queensland to live in her hometown of Canowindra. She currently works as a chef in the Canowindra Hotel and isn’t quite sure where she wants to steer her career but is open to the hospitality sector. She may soon be performing some gigs in Canowindra as she is a talented musician as well as a cook Ellen Blair was the last of the contestants. She is 20 and currently studying music at TAFE whilst working behind the bar at the Canowindra Services Club to support her-self. Ellen recently visited America and has caught the travelling bug, wanting to see more of the world in the future. Two judges were present and the inter-views will form part of the overall assess-ment to choose who will be this year’s Senior Miss Showgirl. The final judging and sashing will take place during the Canowindra Show weekend with the winners receiving a din-ner voucher from Kate At 119 Restaurant in Orange and going on to represent Canowin-dra in the next stage of the competition. We wish the girls the best of luck!

Hay There, Get Baling!As hay season rolls round again this year, R. McClintock and Co have all your hay produc-tion needs covered with quality Krone equip-ment ready to go. Krone Disc Mowers are available in variety of sizes, Linkage mounted or trailed, with a choice of either flail or roller conditioning. They offer a fully welded cutterbar, “Easy-cut Balance” system which provides uniform ground clearance across the cutterbar and “Safecut” cutterbar protection.Krone Swadro Rotary Rakes range in a plethora of models, from working widths of 3.5 metres up to 19 metres, with side delivery and centre deliv-ery options. Krone Swadro rakes provide clean and gentle raking, delivering quick dry-ing and consistent windrows. The durability of this range of rakes has been very popular with local hay producers. Krone offer round balers, producing the perfect circular bale for your requirements and their square balers excel in any harvest conditions irrespective of swath volume and

ground speed, producing well shaped, rock hard bales. Krone Big Pack Balers are suitable for all cereal crops, lucerne and straw. In-field comparisons show Krone Big Pack Baler op-erators are able to bale more product per hour with heavier bales produced to HDP, or high density press, which is the new, inno-vative solution from Krone for high density bales. Due to the quality of product this ma-chine can create, you in turn can improve your business with more efficient truck transport and less handling and storage or bales, making Krone a worthy investment.

Children’s SpacesYou can design a dream bedroom for children in a small space if you know a few tricks. You can create the illusion of a larger space through room layout, paint colours, and mul-titasking furniture with plenty of storage. Depending on the theme of the bedroom, it could be expensive or affordable. It’s up to you to create a budget that will give your child the bedroom of their dreams. Whilst de-signing, bear in mind that as he or she grows up, the design of the room will also be al-tered. A teenager wouldn’t want to sleep in a childish bedroom. So, here are tips in design-ing that may help you keep the kids happy.1. To help your children stay organised, keep things at their height. Closet storage, benches and coat racks will all be used more often if kids can get to them easily. Storage areas are important for a child’s bedroom. Allocate dif-ferent areas for their toys, books and clothes. 2. Make sure that all furniture selected for the space is smaller in scale, according to the size of the room. Less bulky furniture will increase the perceived visual space making it feel open and airier. You can also decorate the ceiling with glow in the dark items. They would enjoy staring at it while they are about to sleep. 3. Removable wall transfers are becoming in-creasingly affordable and the ranges of pat-terns are endless.4. Kids are collectors, so make collecting easy. Pictures and paintings don’t always have to be stuck to a cork board or on the kitchen fridge. Try clipping them to a string along the wall to create an interactive border in a room.

5. Be sure to include multiple kinds of lighting in a child’s room. Overall lighting is a necessity but so is a reading light. It may even help them find the bathroom in the middle of the night.6. If you are painting a dresser or other fur-niture you know the child will grow out of be sure to let them help. The child could also put their signature on it with personal handprints or fingerprints for a polka-dot design.7. A fresh coat of paint is essential in a bedroom makeover. Try a light neutral col-our such as soft tones of blues and green, teamed with bright soft furnishings creating the illusion of more space. Keep in mind that soft furnishings can be changed easier than paint as their tastes change. 8. Place educational things in the room. Do not just stick with the design. Be sure also to place things that could aid for their learning like books and toys for education.9. Use photos for decorating. Make use of pic-tures of your child’s fondest memories. You can include photos taken while you were on holi-days, activities in school, achievements etc. 10. If you have two children sharing, a bunk bed is your best bet for making use of a small space. Look for bunk beds with additional storage underneath, or shelving for keeping clothes organised and within easy reach.11. In regards to a study desk make sure that your child is seated comfortably and correct-ly, especially if in front of a screen. For older children it’s important to have enough room to spread out their books and personalise their desk space – add a pin board if you can. Need help in designing a unique space for your child? Call us at Kim Lowe Interiors for your interior design needs.

IMAGE: Steve Brooks gets set for summer

It’s that time of the year again when the hand mowers and ride-ons start howling into life, and with the good winter and spring rains we’ve had in the Canowindra region there’s likely to be a lot of grass to cut this summer. This is when Steve Brooks really gets down to business at 190 Gaskill Street as a small engines expert fixing mowers, chainsaws and brush cutters. He’s the man to go to when you pull on the starter cord, pull again, and the infernal machine refuses to play ball. “If you pull the rope more than six times and nothing happens it’s time to get the mower to a mechanic,” he advises. And there are a variety of reasons why a mower won’t start -a spark plug that needs cleaning or replac-ing or an air filter that’s become clogged with grass and dirt the previous summer. Or there’s water in the fuel, meaning a leaking

carburettor, or you’ve forgotten to check the level of the oil. “Simply cleaning the under-side and blades of a four-stroke can mean problems,” Steve advises. “If you tip it up, tip it with the spark plug uppermost to avoid leaking oil into the air cleaner. If you pull the primer plate off to try to fix it yourself, make sure you don’t lose parts out of it.” Steve warns against changing the blades your-self. “The disks that hold the blades have to come off first, and that needs an expert hand. Also, a lot of people will work from the back of the mower to change blades. “The result can be blades that are not fitted prop-erly -- and the litigation that one customer went through because a blade flew off and damaged a neighbour’s fence. It could also badly injure someone!”

THANK You

If you would like to look and feel your best for summer, then there is no time to lose in starting a program of regular exercise. Even if you have a busy job that involves being on your feet, that does not negate the need for regular exercise, which can be far more de-manding, but will also deliver far more ben-efits. Be sure though to see your Doctor first so as to obtain the all clear, if you have not exer-cised in a while and especially if you smoke or drink regularly.

CANOWINDRA PERSONAL TRAINING

Thank you to everyone who helped out on Saturday at the Memorial Service for Chris Noble at the Sports Oval. From setting up the marquees, chairs and tables, to cooking, cleaning, serving food and manning the bar, the whole community pitched in to help the day run smoothly and give Chris the send-off he deserved. Family and friends travelled from far and wide to be there on the day, with well over 1000 in attendance, showing what a popular and loved person Chris was. If there is anything people need to collect from the Rugby Union Clubhouse (plates, containers, eskies etc) it will be open be-tween 5 and 6pm today to come and grab your belongings.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush,

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

Local Teams Excel At National Titles!From Thursday 11th September to Sunday 14th September, Team Pen-ning Australia held their National Titles right here at the Canowindra Show Ground. The highly successful four days were blessed with blue skies and attended by families from all over Australia competing to gain a qualifying run in the finals last Sunday. On Thursday the Arena Sorting Heat was held, Friday was devoted to Team Penning and Saturday was Team Penning then Arena Sorting with a percentage of the fastest qualifying runs from each day competing in the Sunday Finals. Cowra did well, with Jake Amos, Emily Price and Bianca Amos coming 1st in the Team Penning Opens. The Youth Team Penning and Juniors Team Penning were also won by youths from Cowra. David Wicks, Kelly Wicks and Von Wicks from Tamworth won the Arena Sorting Open with Monique Gillespie, Jake Amos and Daisy Whatman winning the Youths Arena Sorting and Hannah Keen, Kate Price and Laura Price win-ning the Juniors. A monster raffle was organised by the Team Penning Australia Commit-tee with 16 prizes donated by local businesses. All money raised went to “Give Me 5 For Kids”. For those who missed out on the action this week-end is the Cutting at the Showground.

Hockey Grand FinalCanowindra Services Club Hockey Team was narrowly defeated 3-2 by the Imperial Hotel Cowra team in the Grand Final on Saturday. The game was very close throughout, with 2-2 on the scoreboard at half time, though Canowindra failed to snatch the win despite finishing top of the ladder for the year. The game was followed by a Presentation evening at the Valley Hotel in Cowra where trophies were awarded. Players player went to Linda Kinsela, even though she missed some of the match due to a hospital visit. We hope Linda is feeling better after putting her body on the line for the team! Amara Flannery was award-ed Best & Fairest. The team-mates continued their celebrations at the Services Club in Canowindra. Thank you to Canowindra Ser-vices Club for sponsoring the team and to all the supporters that turned up to cheer them along. Congratulations to all teams involved!

Canowindra Women’s BowlsThree competition games were played last week, all games were close with only a few points difference. Two social games were also played. It was wonderful weather for playing bowls with attendants soaking up some vita-
