BETTER LIFE CANOWINDRA 2011
Canowindrans, it’s time to get fit and
healthy! How do you measure up?
The staff of Canowindra Community
Health Centre are organising the Better
Health campaign in conjunction with the
provides guidelines to help individuals
decrease risk of chronic disease by
reducing their waist measurement. The
aim of this year’s campaign, running from
January to April is to challenge yourself to
improve your fitness and eating habits
over the 8 week program (and beyond).
What does the 2011 program involve?
1: Register at the Health Centre by
phoning 02 6344 1314 as a participant
and receive your “How do you measure
up” package; including a do it yourself
fitness assessment
2: Participate in as many exercise or
nutrition activities as you wish over the
8 week program
3: Review your progress using the tools
provided in your “How do you measure
up” package
Cost: A $10 donation will be gratefully
received. This money will be kept in trust
with Lodge Canowindra and used to help
fund future community fitness activities
for Canowindra.
Go for at least 2 serves of fruit and
5 serves of vegetables every day!
Limit your intake of “sometimes” foods
like unhealthy snacks and take-away
foods
Be active everyday in as many ways as you
can
Aim for 30 minutes or more of physical
activity everyday
One serve of vegetables is 75 grams or:

½ cup cooked vegetables

1 medium potato

1 cup salad vegetables

½ cup cooked legumes (dried beans,
peas or lentils)
One serve of fruit is 150 grams of fresh
fruit or:

1 medium-sized piece eg apple

2 smaller pieces eg apricots

1 cup canned or chopped fruit

½ cup 100% fruit juice

1½ tablespoon dried fruit eg sultanas or
4 dried apricot halves
Choose fresh fruit instead of fruit juice or
dried fruit. Juices have lower fibre content
than fresh fruit. Dried fruit, if eaten in
large quantities, can contribute to tooth
decay because it contains a concentrated
form of sugar that sticks to your teeth.

To the editor...
Canowindra Lions Club Inc has a real
dilemma! After Ron Cain secured a
Government grant for Turn Back the
Clock: Relive the Gold Rush Days, as part
of the 2011 NSW Senior Week to be
held on Friday 25 March 2011,
58 people have expressed interest,
however the bus can only carry 45. The
question of two busses is not an option,
as due to a previous year mishap we will
not take this chance again.
To be fair to everyone, the first in with
their money will be the travellers to Hill
End. Money to Ron Cain, 63 Ryall Street,
phone 6344 1497.
The cost will be $30 per person, which
covers bus trip, morning tea, lunch and
admission to the Museum and Visitors
Centre. Extra activities such as gold
panning and scenic dune buggy tours
cost extra and will need to be paid by
the individual.
Thank you
Ron Cain

CANOWINDRA FACING AN INFRASTRUCTURE
CRISIS
The current state of Canowindra’s infra-
structure needs a boost so as not to put
businesses and industry at risk according
to Nationals candidate for the seat of
Dubbo Troy Grant.
“Infrastructure is central to driving
economic growth yet Canowindra is
facing an infrastructure crisis,” Mr Grant
said.
“Whether it is roads, rail, hospitals,
schools or basic service utilities, people
in Canowindra are entitled to better”.
“Only through my effective representa-
tion as part of a government team will
we be able to turn this huge problem
around,” he said.
Mr Grant said he will fight for the
establishment of a capital fund to build
essential infrastructure including
transport, roads and infrastructure to
support people working in frontline ser-
vices.
Mr Grant said that he would also support
the establishment of Infrastructure NSW
to ensure infrastructure is delivered
according to need, on time and on
budget with 30% of its budget to be
spent in regional areas of NSW such as
Canowindra.
“We must ensure that what is needed to
support people working in frontline
services is delivered based on expert
advice and world best practice,” Mr Grant
said.
Mr Grant also has government mandated
infrastructure levies in his sights.
“I will inject transparency and require
disclosure of the way government levies
are formulated to force discipline on
infrastructure costs”, he said.
“In my first term as State Member if
elected I would convene a roundtable in
Canowindra including representatives of
peak infrastructure and housing bodies,
suppliers of materials and services and
local government to find the best way
forward,” Mr Grant said.
“Only through me being your voice in
government can these important
changes come about”

ELECTRICITY INQUIRY A SHAM
Independent MP Dawn Fardell, today
labelled the Parliamentary inquiry into
the sale of electricity assets a "sham" and
total waste of time.
Ms Fardell said not one question was
asked about the effects of the sale on
the public, nor were any details of the
sale released.
She said the inquiry was totally focussed
on political point scoring, over the early
closing of Parliament before the election
and whether the Government received
value for money in the sale.
Ms Fardell has also called on the Coali-
tion to declare its position on the privati-
sation of Government assets before the
election, so voters are not in for more
nasty surprises in the future.
The NSW community well and truly un-
derstands that privatisation leads to
higher prices and they want to know
where politicians stand on the issue.
