I am sure I’m not the only Cowra community member to thank you for the article in the Guardian 25-11-16 “Cowra’s Grand Old Show Stand”.
Over many generations past and present, our families have had great enjoyment sitting on “The Grandstand”.
But now there are many questions as you have stated that we will appreciate being answered.
Yours Faithfully,
Ruth Daintith
Food Share and Care Month
To the editor,
October was our first “Food Share and Care Month” well done and many, many thanks to all the organisations, groups and individuals who supported the Cowra Uniting Church Food Hall during this time.
Your food item donation has enabled us to spend more on fresh fruit and vegetables for registered clients for a month or two.
Many thanks also to the wonderful individual supporters of the Food Hall who donate food and household items on a regular basis and to the Management and Staff of Aldi, Coles and Woolworths for their weekly donations of food items.
An important aim of the Food Hall is to increase the quality of food available and fresh is always best.
If anyone has surplus home grown produce and would like to donate these items please give us a call on 6342 4294 to arrange a delivery or collection time, or, if you would like to donate other food items they can be dropped off at the Cowra Uniting Church Food Hall any Friday morning 8:15 am –12:15 pm and Thursday afternoon 2 pm-4 pm or at the Neighbourhood Centre Monday to Friday 9 am-5 pm. (Please remember we can only accept items not past their ‘best by date’)
The generosity and kindness provided by the Cowra Community makes a positive difference in the lives of so many and is truly appreciated by all at the Cowra Uniting Church Food Hall.
Kind regards
Kim Withers on behalf of the Cowra Uniting Church Food Hall Committee
Deception of Olympic Proportions
To the editor
When it comes to the Olympics there's a lot of deception and corruption involved.
Some people will do just about anything. They will lie, cheat, steal and in some cases break the law to be successful so why would it be different at the Olympics.
Since the LA Games some athletes have been using equipment to reduce wind or water resistance that is not available to all.
We’ve had aerodynamically designed helmets, carbon fibre bicycle frames, lycra suits and runners in full bodied running suits and then swimmers in shark suits.
An athlete wearing or using some form of equipment different to other athletes may be receiving an unfair advantage, so it is cheating.
The Olympics was once where an athlete won on their merit using only what they had, their strength, stamina and many years of hard work. Today an athlete’s performance and determination is slowly being replaced by science and technology.
And now we have professionals at the Olympics instead of amateurs which was the only event amateurs had to aspire to. Not that long ago the American Olympic basketball team consisted of the Harlem Globetrotters and now players from the NBA are being selected. In tennis we have players like Serena Williams taking part.
What’s next?

What about us?
The people always get it right and they got it right in Orange. We can only hope the result will refocus the NSW Government on the needs of the restofnsw.
