LOCAL THEFT Thursday night 9 August a residence in Ryall Street, between Blatchford and Ferguson, was robbed of two outdoor settees and two lounges that were on the front verandah. The house has a rather substantial front garden and the furniture would have needed a trailer or ute with more than one person to move it. The owner called the Police Assistance Line - 131 444 to report the incident and provided details about the perpetrators. If you noticed any unusual activity in the vicinity, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000. Incidents of organised break ins and theft has risen in Canowindra over the last couple of months, so please take precautions: lock doors at night, don't leave possessions lying around outside, and if you see any suspicious behaviour call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 where your called will be logged and local police advised.

To the editor... I was very interested, in reading Mr. Stephen Tamplin's letter on the condition of our roads in the district. I travel the Eugowra /Canowindra Road six to eight times a fortnight and the state of that road is atrocious. Usually travel to Eugowra at night [as I work night-duty at the Eugowra MPS] and then come back to Canowindra in the mornings at 0730hrs. There is always traffic on that road, particularly in the mornings, trucks, school buses, country link bus and lots of other vehicles. On many sections of the roads two trucks would not be able to pass each other, without going off the edge of the road, or they would collide, as the road is too narrow and the edges, are completely broken away. I believe that it is just a matter of time before there will be a fatality. Lets hope the council doesn't wait until someone dies, before they decide to widen and resurface the road. Jeanette Wheeldon, Canowindra.

NOT SO SLIMEY! It was a great treat to have the Taronga Western Plains Zoo visit the Preschool last Thursday to show off several of their creatures and teach the children some important facts about them. As the weather looks to be warming then learning about snakes and not to touch them was an important lesson for the children. Eugowra Preschool travelled over for the afternoon to join us for the show also and engage with the children at our service. It is always great for the communities to get together and form strong relationships and promotes Early Childhood Education. Preschool will be taking new enrolments for 2013 from Monday 20 August so if you are interested please contact the Preschool. We operate five days per week for children aged 3-5 years.

CABONNE MAYOR ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Mayor Bob Dowling has thanked the people of Cabonne for four wonderful years after announcing today that he would not seek re-election at next month’s Local Government poll. Cr Dowling said that after great deliberation, he had decided to retire from Local Government to concentrate on his farming interests and to spend more time with his family. He steps down after four years as a Cabonne Councillor, the past two as Mayor. “I’ve agonised over this decision for some time,” Cr Dowling said. “We have recently expanded our family farming enterprise which has increased the workload. Much of this would have fallen on my family had I remained on Council and I don’t think that is fair. “I’m not prepared to represent the people of Cabonne unless I can devote 100 per cent to the job.” Cr Dowling described his experience on Council as one of the most rewarding of his life. “I will miss it enormously,” he said. The Mayor said teamwork among Councillors and staff and building relationships with the community had been the key to a number of outstanding achievements during the current term of Council. These include: Record expenditure on roadworks,

with $16 million to spent this financial year;

The $17.2 million Four Towns Sewerage Scheme;

The $3.6 million Waluwin Community Centre at Molong – Australia’s first fully integrated primary health and community care centre;

Adopting the draft Local Environ-mental Plan and Village Settlement Strategies;

The continuation of the major timber bridge replacement program which by the end of 2012-13 will have replaced 56 of 59 timber bridges with concrete structures;

Awarding a contract to remediate the former Molong gasworks site;

The new SES building in Canowindra; Allocating $1.7 million to redevelop

Canowindra swimming pool; Major upgrades to all seven of the

Shire’s public swimming pools; $2.7m for water supply projects,

including reservoir upgrades and environmental flow works in Molong Creek;

$1.03m for floodplain works, including $700,000 for projects in Eugowra and Molong;

A wide range of community improve-ment and village enhancement projects; and

Additional funds to upgrade and maintain the Shire’s 11 cemeteries

“My personal highlight, however, was meeting and talking to the people of Cabonne,” Cr Dowling said. “Hopefully, I’ve been able to assist them in some small way.”

WE LOVE LOCAL BUSINESS Think back to the last time you went on holidays. Chances are you didn’t visit a big box store for leisure. Instead, I’m willing to bet you strolled down a quaint street and wandered into boutiques and cosy little cafes. I’m also willing to bet that while doing that, you felt relaxed and happy. Now think about your own neighbourhood with the corner store where the owner knows your kids by name. Again, I’m willing to bet that this business contributes to your happiness and quality of life. Small and independent businesses have a cascading effect on cities and towns—each small business is part of a total business net-work. When a big box moves in, a number of small businesses move out and you wind up seeing town centres gutted. So what happens when town centres are ‘gutted’? The impoverishment of small business can lead to the impoverishment of an entire community; shuttered buildings cause everyone’s property values to go down and no one wants to shop in such an ‘ugly’ area. To be fair, big box stores do serve a purpose, and, yes, Costco’s prices can be awfully tempting (as seen with Costcos opening in Melbourne and Sydney). The next time you think about getting in your car to drive to another town, consider the environment. Do you really need eleventy-eight rolls of toilet paper – despite the fact it’s “such a bargain”? Chain patrons typically cite prices and product variety when they opt for big-box stores. Internet shoppers do so for convenience. Plus, many individuals who might make the choice to shop locally find themselves forced to hit the chains, as neighbourhood shopping clusters have shrunk dramatically over the past two generations. That's true of both small towns and bigger cities. Big box stores have one strategy: cost leader-ship. And while low prices can make for happy cash-strapped customers, small businesses have an advantage in the customer service department. At big box liquor stores, for example, shoppers will buy on price, but at smaller stores the owner may know you and be able to give you recommendations; that customer service provides a higher value to the consumer. I’m thinking of Jack’s Wines in Ballarat while I’m writing this. A local independent with a great website enabling you to buy in store or online. And wonderful knowledge on everything he stocks. Small and independent business owners are masters of customised, personalised and individualised. For example, you can’t call up a big box store and ask them to stay open for just 10 more minutes, but nine times out of ten, a small business will wait for you to get there; that customisation is incredibly valuable. "Indie shopping" is a conscientious effort to patronise independents, or locally owned businesses, over chain stores when it's possible to do so. "Buy Local" campaigns draw the support of like-minded citizens and community groups. To my mind, by no means is it a call for ALL spending, EVERY time for EVERYTHING. It is ‘think local first’ – give your local businesses who support the area where you live, work and play first opportunity to service your needs. And if they can’t or won’t then go elsewhere. HOORAY! for Independents I say

PEDAL POWER The Bike for Bibles Blue Lizard Ride (NSW) team will be staying Peace Memorial Uniting Church at Canowindra Thursday 27 to Saturday 29 September 2012, from Forbes via Gooloogong and Billimari, on their way to Blayney. Bike for Bibles is a mostly volunteer-run fund raising initiative for Bible Society Australia. It’s great to ride with a real purpose! Participants in Bike for Bibles rides have raised more than $12 million for Bible Society projects worldwide. This has enabled many thousands around the world to learn to read using God’s Word. Because of our wonderful volunteers, our cost base is much lower than a commercial cycling tour or cycling holiday operators. We pass these savings onto you, meaning that even including the fundraising component, our cycling tours and rides normally cost you less than similar commercially operated events. For the majority of riders who actively fundraise through friends, family, work, church and community, our events offer a great personal adventure and challenge for little monetary outlay. But more importantly they offer the immeasurable reward of helping others – perhaps eternally. Some people overcome personal, physical, and spiritual challenges to be involved in the exciting and vital ministry of Bike for Bibles. This can be very satisfying! You can be part of Bike for Bibles by riding, joining the support crew, praying, or making tax deductible donations. Bike for Bibles is now an international movement with rides undertaken in many countries where the Bible Society has a presence. Give the gift of literacy, and God’s life giving Word. For more Information please contact Dave McCubben 02 9521 1506 or Jim Blaxland 02 9525 8158 or 0414 532 250. Visit the website bikeforbibles.org.au/

FEDERAL ROUNDS WITH JOHN COBB MP Last week I embarked on another mobile electorate office tour, this time visiting Neville, Newbridge, Trunkey and Rockley - and the soaring cost of electricity was certainly the hot topic of the day. In some towns, residents expressed their frustration with the state of local roads, while in other towns, locals raised concern about some mining proposals. But in every town residents raised the issue of soaring electricity prices – and it all centred around the Gillard Government’s Carbon Tax. It seems local residents aren’t buying Julia Gillard’s recent attempts to put the blame for rising power on the State Governments. Not only are Julia Gillard’s Labor colleagues in NSW very much to blame for increased prices due to their failure to invest in our electricity network when in Government, it’s the Prime Minister herself that introduced a Tax that is directly responsible for pushing up power prices by 10%. Of great concern is the impact on small businesses. A number of business owners are reporting 30% increases in their latest power bills – and that’s very difficult for local businesses to absorb. Federal Parliament is underway after the winter break this week, and while in Canberra I will be sure to raise the issues raised with me and Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey during his visit to the region last week. The cost of living, red tape and the cost of running a small business and indeed the Carbon Tax were certainly the big issues discussed when Joe and I walked the streets of Orange and Bathurst, and during various meetings over the two day visit.

GRANT LEADS GOVERNMENT MOTION The Member for Dubbo Troy Grant moved an urgency motion in NSW Parliament today in support of the Government's commitment to toughen 'right to silence' laws. The motion comes on the back of an announcement by the Premier to amend the Evidence Act. The measures to be introduced will enable juries to draw adverse inferences against an alleged criminal who refuses to speak to investigating police. "Often in these cases evidence is produced at trial by the alleged criminal in a last minute bid not to be found guilty of the offence," said Mr Grant. "The Government believes that juries are clever enough to identify suspicious evidence which is suddenly produced at trial designed to assist the accused avoid conviction." "The measures include changing the wording of the traditional caution given by police to reflect the words used by arresting officers in Britain and Wales that apply to serious indictable offences." Mr Grant said regular viewers of the popular British police program 'The Bill' would be familiar with the refrain: “You are not obliged to say or do any-thing unless you wish to do so. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say and do may be given in evidence. Do you under-stand?” A draft bill would be finalised by the end of August with legislation to be introduced into Parliament in October.

PYTHONS INTO THE MINOR SEMIS On Saturday the Canowindra Pythons bussed it to Orange to take on the CSU Aggies. With the snow melted the sun was out and the breeze was not to bad for a winters day. How-ever the referee was not too sure about the weather so was a no show. With the Ag college not having anyone to ref, Adam Nash and Jack Beath decided that they would do one half each. With a disrupted start to the game the Pythons seemed to take the first ten minutes to get started. The Orange boys had most of the possession on the Pythons try line however they couldn't break the defence. Dan Muldoon soon put some spark in the attack together with Tom Abbott and Aaron Woolley. Doons opened the score board from a run off Tommy which put him in some space, and he soon found his way to the try line. William "Cass" Ryan was next to score after some good work at the break down from Pete Stacey. Cass soon got his second try of the game after a dart from half back, which saw him dive over the line once again. This left the half time score at 28-0 with all tries converted. The second half was controlled by the Pythons which allowed them to try a few moves for the semis this weekend. Adam Nash got the first try of the half with a nice ball from Doons, and he crossed the line untouched. Muldoon got his second try of the match through some powerful running which saw plenty of players hitting the ground hard. Young gun Luke Watt notched another try on his tally for the year by scoring the final try of the match. Again all tries were converted with Woolley kicking 2, Doon kicked 2, and Todd Wyburn and Tom Abbott kicked one each to leave the Pythons convincing winners 42-0. Points went to Paddy Hayes with 3 for again showing off his talents on the football field with even a chip and chase thrown in this week. Cass Ryan got 2 for another strong game, and Stu Gavin and Benny Collins got 1 each, also for strong games. Players' Player went to Dan Muldoon. This weekend third placed Pythons will play second placed Condobolin in the minor semi final at Condo on Saturday. First placed Blayney has the week off, and fourth placed Grenfell will host fifth placed Molong in the elimination semi on Sunday. Hopefully the Pythons will take their winning form to Condobolin this Saturday and can still win the rights to host the Grand Final on home turf. GO THE PYTHONS!!!
