Stranger Than “Strangerland”–
Nicole’s Family Links With Canowindra
As the production team for the movie “Strangerland” was surveying downtown Canowindra locations this week, the most fascinating
coincidences emerged linking our town with
the movie and one of its three stars, Nicole
Kidman.
First, who would have thought that Nicole
has a connection to Canowindra’s founding
Finn and Grant families?
Well she has, according to a family tree
drawn up by 92-year-old Berna Wright, granddaughter of T.J. Finn and cousin of Canowindra resident Anne Ward.
And this is how it goes: Nicole Kidman’s
great great great grandparents were John
and Mary Finn from Tralee in County Kerry
who settled in Hartley in 1839.
They had eight children. Their second child
Michael married Elizabeth Kelly, and their eldest son was the legendary T.J. Finn, Canowindra’s virtual founding father.
Their sixth child John was Nicole Kidman’s
great great grandfather. Their eighth child Julia married John Grant Jr of Canowindra.
And all these family links make Nicole the
fourth cousin of Richard Payten, the “Strangerland” executive producer, who is also in
fact the brother of Anne Ward.
According to the family, Nicole herself is
intrigued with the complex family links and
may well visit Berna during the “Strangerland” filming.
As for the shoot itself, we now have an
initial schedule. Location manager Colin
McDougall has announced plans to film
sequences in Gaskill Street from April 4-11
during which the street will be closed to traffic at various times.
Meanwhile, there’s been another location scout, Richard Montgomery of What Ya
Need Film Services, in Canowindra over the
past week surveying for yet another movie
that may be set here.
Richard’s keeping this one tightly under
wraps -- all that’s known is that it could have
an historical setting, and that Carcoar is being considered for locations as well.

To Editor,
Regarding Diana Frost in issue 284
Diana, I don’t know whether people living
in rural areas realise just how badly disadvantaged we are when it comes to internet
connection. I have only lived in Canowindra
for 4 years and am still not used to how
slow and pathetic the service is to our area,
and I do have ADSL. My ADSL is as slow
as dial up would be in the city (any city). I
have friends who live in Coffs Harbour who
are raving about how good the new NBN is.
They have no idea that we don’t even have
the speed & efficiency that their old connection gave. Also we don’t have the choice of
service providers that exist in metropolitan
areas. Just another city VS country issue I
suppose.

Celebrating International
Women’s Day
On Friday 7th March, around 30 ladies from
in and around Canowindra enjoyed a wonderful Morning Tea at the Deli Lama to celebrate
International Women’s Day. The Canowindra
Phoenix, together with First Choice Credit
Union and Yates Baker McLean sponsored
the event.
Cheryl Newsom, from the Canowindra
Phoenix welcomed all of the ladies and in
particular Jane Atkinson, who was the Guest
Speaker. Jane went on to say that ‘the speech
gave her an opportunity to reflect over the
years in her life, and she broke this down
into slices of age groups.’ It started with her
growing up on the farm in Stockinbingal, and
then moving onto High School in both Temora and Wagga, followed by Ag College. From
ages 20-30 she spent time in the outback as
a governess and where she also met her now
husband, Rob. Jane has two daughters, Laura and Lucy. Jane has overcome personal diagnosis of a disease which has no cure, and
has asked the question, Why Me? In true
spirit Jane went onto raise funds for Arthritis NSW and combined with four other ladies
to ride a bike from Vietnam to Cambodia in
November 2013. They raised over $30,000.
Jane is undertaking more study and hopes in
2015 to grow her mediation and farm succession planning work.
Jane finished her speech with an emotional
thought, ‘However, more than anything, I
want my daughters to have the opportunity
to become women who are the best version
of themselves they can be. I want them to
be happy and to grow up knowing that life
is not always fair, and that life is what you
chose to make of the opportunities you are
given.’
Funds raised from the morning tea are going towards CWA and approximately $300
was raised on Friday.

Canowindra’s New Swimming Pool –
The Rural Update
Topping the McCarron Family Legacy
Sitting under pink-bloomed crepe myrtle
trees, watching the rippling blue waters and
official opening ceremony of the newly-renovated Canowindra Pool, it wasn’t difficult last
Sunday to imagine what wonderful leisure
and recreational boon the facility is going to
be in coming summers.
The opening attracted a large crowd of
Canowindra community supporters and shire
dignitaries who listened from the shade of
the trees to speeches by Cabonne’s Mayor
Ian Gosper, Beaucoup Aquatics development
manager Michael Hoy and Charlie McCarron,
the community doyen whose uncle opened
the original pool 60 years ago.
It was thus perfectly fitting that Charlie
should perform the ribbon cutting ceremony
on Sunday.
In his speech, Ian Gosper paid tribute to
fellow-councillors Anthony Durkin and Kevin
Walker, along with the former mayor Bob
Dowling, who made the new pool possible by
funding it from council reserves rather than
relying on government grants.
Charlie McCarron told the gathering how
his uncle Charles “started lobbying for a
swimming pool in Canowindra in 1934” when
he was chairman of the Shires Association.
It took another 20 years before the original 33-yard swimming pool and toddlers pool
were built and opened in 1954.
“The wheels of council turned slowly but
they needed to be oiled very often,” Charlie
observed.
“The council’s lack of urgency annoyed
Charlie so he took on the role of organising
cement supplies and other necessary parts
to build the pool.”
Charles McCarron not only got a pool dedicated to his name but also an OBE awarded
by the Queen in 1961 for his services to local
government.
And thanks to his legacy we’ve now got
“a 25-metre lap pool, new program pool,
children’s water playground as well as solar
heating, new club room and plant rooms,
new shade sails and state of the art pump
and filtration technology.”

This week’s market has seen a major increase
in the market, particularly over the last 4
weeks. The cattle market was up to 60c kg
better over some grades on Monday. Tuesday
saw the fat lambs make over $6.00 per kg,
an increase from 3 months ago where they
were selling at $4.80 kg. The KMWL top price
was $200.00 which was sold on behalf of Ian
Tremain from the Cranbury area which were
2nd cross lambs – out of first cross ewes by
a dorset ram. In addition, store lambs were
making up to $100.00. With the early break,
lots of oats have been planted and the local
lucerne growth has been fantastic. Most
farmers have gone from no feed to plenty of
feed within two weeks. Paul said that, ‘good
follow up rain is very important now – we are
only 25 ml away from a very good autumn,
which we haven’t seen for 10 years.’

INSURANCE Tips
Words you should never use in Insurance:
Here are common “wrong words” that could
slow down or impede an otherwise legitimate
insurance claim.
‘Sorry’ - Don’t Assume anything - Without
sounding insensitive, try to avoid saying “I’m
sorry” because it can be interpreted as an admission of fault. Describe what happened to
the best of your ability and stick to the facts.
‘In my opinion’ - Don’t offer your opinion.
Just give the cold, hard facts. . . . Don’t say,
‘I think,’ ‘I feel,’ ‘I felt.’ No touchy-feely stuff.
For example, following a car accident, people can rarely provide an accurate estimate
of the rate, speed and flow of traffic. Unless
you were staring at the speedometer, you
don’t know how fast you were going.
‘Flood’ - Policyholders often use the “F”
word inappropriately, and it can trigger an
alarm with insurers since flood damage (as
we have seen in the media of late) is not covered under many standard home policies. To
an insurance company, “flood” means water
from a nearby lake, stream, river or other
body of water.
Many people believe their house is flooded
because it’s full of water - but it’s not a flood
by the insurance definition.
If your water damage did not come from an
overflow of a nearby lake, stream, river or
other body of water, don’t even say the word
“flood.”
If your house is filled with water due to a
burst pipe, it’s not considered a flood.
When making an insurance claim, what
you say can mean the difference between
fast payment and a nightmarish process. Insurance companies are sensitive to certain
words. Of course, lying to your insurance
company or misrepresenting facts is fraud
and your claim will surely be denied if the
insurer finds out. But using the right words
to accurately describe your problem is important.

NSW Seniors Week is presented by the Department of Family and Community Services
and is the largest annual celebration of seniors in the southern hemisphere.
In 2014, NSW Seniors Week will be turning
56 years young and the NSW Government,
community and commercial organizations
will be holding hundreds of free or discounted
events across NSW between 15 - 23 March.
To find out more about these events, please
visit http://www.nswseniorsweek.com.au/
home and check out the events page.
This year there is something new for you to
try and enjoy whether it be arts and crafts,
technology, health and wellbeing or sport.
The theme Live Life! Celebrates active,
healthy, independent seniors involved in their
communities. Across the State, seniors can
join in hundreds of free or specially discounted events.
NSW Seniors Week is for people aged over
60 in the southern hemisphere. It’s also for
people aged 50 and older who have a lifelong
disability or are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait
Islander descent.
Hearing Issues
Australian Hearing is encouraging seniors to
make their hearing health a priority. According to leading research, hearing loss is a common issue among older Australians. Getting
your hearing checked is an easy way to learn
more about your hearing and what can be
done to help. Consider your hearing as you
do having your blood pressure checked. It’s
so important.
Australian Hearing Orange manager, Debra
Clarke-McSephney, said Seniors Week was
the perfect time for people to do something
about their hearing and have a free hearing
check for seniors.
“A hearing check only takes around 15 minutes of your time and measures what sounds
you can and cannot hear,” Debra says.
For more information, or to book an appointment call 6393 0500. Australian Hearing Orange is located on the corner of Lords
Place and Kite Street, Orange. The centre
also offers regular services in Bathurst, Cowra, Forbes, Parkes and Condobolin.

How are you really enjoying
being ‘older’?
As we get older there are normal changes of
the body that need to be managed however
these changes which are not true diseases
are often described as diseases needing
treatment.
Many of the health problems associated
with ageing can be managed effectively with
simple modification to diet and lifestyle.
Nutritional deficiency diseases are brought
about by changes in gut health, use of refined
or processed foods, medications and other
substances, hormonal change, and by food
intolerance or allergy.
If you’re feeling a bit ‘stodgy’, bloated, or
not as well as you’d like try this simple test.
Write down how you feel, then cut out all
white foods from your diet – that means milk,
white bread, white potato, white sugar, and
so on, for just a week. Then compare how
you feel with your notes.
At Central West Naturopathic Cowra, the
process of age-related change is well understood, and the impact of over-medication
and inadequate nutrition is continually being scrutinized. Their Naturopath has nearly
40 years’ experience in health management
and nutritional correction of chronic health
disturbances. Many clients have found true
well-being and regained vitality and the enjoyment of life with simple changes. To coin
a phrase – without change there will be no
change.
If you want personalised assistance to regain your wellbeing phone 6342 3887 for an
appointment.
Why should I have a solicitor
draw my Will when I can buy
a Will Pack for $20?
If you make your Will correctly you have
saved money. If you get it wrong it can be an
expensive mistake.
Examples:
Mary is your favourite niece and you leave her
$500. Mary witnesses your Will. Mary’s gift
will fail and she cannot inherit the $500 unless the other beneficiaries consent.
Bill is your daughter’s husband. Bill witnesses your Will. Your daughter’s gift will fail
unless the other beneficiaries consent to her
inheriting.
Other errors I have seen include:
• listing all the small items but forgetting
to mention your house;
• appointing executors who die before you;
• not dealing with the residue of the estate
eg. everything else you own which you
have not already listed in your Will
The other beneficiaries can agree to Mary or
your daughter inheriting and the Supreme
Court can correct mistakes in wills but these
are expensive alternatives to making a correct Will.

Canowindra Touch
IMAGE: The new Mr and Mrs Tangye
Fairy Tale Wedding
On Saturday, 8th of March 2014, Brad Tangye
of Canowindra, son of Colin and Sharon married Sian Rowlands of Eugowra, daughter
of Karen and the late Rowland – under the
watchful eyes of their close friends and family.
The venue of the wedding was at Eat Your
Greens in Eugowra in which they catered and
set the scene for a truly fairy-tale story wedding. Even though grey clouds loomed in the
distance and thunder crackled from afar, it
did not dampen the spirits of everyone as
they awaited the arrival of both the bride and
groom.
Sian’s arrival was very Cinderella, as she
arrived in a horse and carriage pulled by two
beautiful white horses. As the carriage pulled
away, Sian was revealed in her lavish white
dress with an embellished bodice and flowing
skirt. She was walked down the aisle by her
brother Gethin with her dad in spirit walking
by her side.
Eat Your Greens offered an array of fabulous canapés ranging from mini quiches to
tartlets of salmon and cream cheese and sushi. The mains were a choice between pork
belly and beef with the star of the night being the tasting plate of deserts! Apart from
the beautiful 5 tier wedding cake, there was
an array of choices for deserts including
chocolate mousse, cheesecake, mini meringues and chocolate tarts.
All guests had a fabulous time with music
played by David Duke, and were kept happy
by the wonderful bar staff that made sure
no one went thirsty. The night ended respectively with the bouquet toss (caught by
Hannah Gilroy) and the removal of the garter
that stopped everyone in their tracks!
Brad and Sian are now happily husband
and wife, with that they now share a promise, a lifetime and two children – all the best
for the future.

In Memorium
Stanley James Brown or Jim (as he was more
commonly known) of Cargo sadly passed
away peacefully on the 6th March. In issue
280, we looked at Jim’s life with his wife Pearl
as they celebrated 64 years of marriage. Jim
has welcomed 7 children and 23 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren in the 64
years that he was married. Jim was a very
kind hearted and genuine man, rarest of the
rare to find in this world. I’m sure the people
who had the pleasure of meeting Jim would
agree that he always had a smile on his face.
During his life Jim worked on a farm and was
a shearer. He loved his sport including AFL
with his favourite team being Hawthorne. Jim
also loved to watch the rugby with his favourite team being the Heelers (of course) and
the joy he felt when they won the grand final
last year, he was very proud of the team. Jim
will always be in our hearts, he will never be
forgotten.

Swimming Club Report
Medley Championships Results – Firstly, a
request from the table officials and marshal,
could a certain female Year 11 swimmer be
ready in swimmers, cap and goggles by roll
call so her fellow swimmers don’t have to
wait on the blocks while she sprints down
the pool deck.
Eliza Ward and Jonty Thurgate were too fast
for the Spoon semis as they improved their
time by 5 and 4 seconds respectively.
Ryan Ellis improved his time by 2 seconds
and after some pointed comments from Jarrod Strange, Paul Sinfield put in a big effort,
dropped a second from his time so now both
men have a time of 13 seconds for the 25m
freestyle.
Ella Breen swam a PB of 27 seconds to take
home the Spoon ahead of the fast-finishing
trio of Max Wensley, Zac Giger and Stewart
Russell. Well done Ella.
Fifty four swimmers still had enough energy
at the end of the night for the relay and it was
a ding dong struggle as different lanes pulled
ahead and fell behind due to the speed of the
swimmers.
Wade Kinsela anchored lane 6 to win over
lane 4 and lane 1.
Taking home the pennants with Wade were
Ella Breen, Lucas Ellis, Caleb Giger, Georgie
Fisher, Meg Austin, Mila Gower, Mitch Stanley and Jonty Thurgate.
200m freestyle is this week’s championship, sign up by Wednesday afternoon and
be ready for roll call at 5:45pm.
