MEDITATION COURSES Karma Yiwong Samten Ling (meaning place of natural beautiful meditation) is a newly established meditation retreat centre in the Cabonne Shire. Situated at 1064 Sandy Creek Road Molong, between Cudal, Manildra and Molong, only 30 minutes from Orange it is located in a peaceful bushland setting. The Centre offers classes in meditation and on the Buddha’s teachings based on compassion and wisdom. These traditional techniques for controlling the mind date back over 2,500 years are still very relevant in today’s high stress, fast paced times. Karma Yiwong Samten Ling is a not-for-profit organisation and relies on donations for its ongoing operations. A suggested donation for participation is requested however if money is an issue just give what you can. Contact Rosie on 02 6366 8376 or [email protected] for enquiries and bookings. The following events are coming up: Sunday 12 February: A day of teachings on the 7 points of mind training with Norbert Bohler*- Here is an example of the teachings: “Give all the victory to other, Take all the blame unto yourself.” This intriguing verse is the essence of mind transformation practice. At first glance, this verse is a radical concept, even an insult to our habitual self-centred attitude. Yet, according to Buddhist teachings this selfcenteredness is precisely the cause of all woes. The set of proverbs that form the root text of the mind training practice are designed as a set of antidotes to undesired mental habits that cause suffering. These teachings are very practical and deal with any situation that one can encounter in daily life. * Norbert Bohler has been a practising Buddhist for
over 30 years and received teachings from many highly qualified teachers. He has recently completed a 3 year meditation retreat.
Wednesday 8 February: 6 week meditation course. Meditation can lead to well-being, happiness and peace of mind. 1 hour classes suited for beginners and experienced alike. Sunday 26 February, 25 March & 29 April: ‘Last Sunday in Month Retreat Day.’ A practice day including sitting and walking meditation in the morning with another hour of practice after lunch before doing chanting / visualisation practice on compassion: Chenrezig.

HALF PRICE MICROCHIP/VACCINATION OFFER Dog and cat owners in Cabonne Shire will be able to have their pets microchipped and vaccinated later this month for half the normal price. Cabonne Council has combined with the Molong Veterinary Clinic and the Canowindra branch of the Cowra Veterinary Centre to offer the special $55 deal to both microchip and vaccinate an animal. If a pet is already vaccinated and the owner wishes to have it microchipped, the cost will be only $25. The service will be at 42 Gaskill Street Canowindra on Monday 20 February from 2.30-4pm and at 89 Bank Street Molong on Wednesday 22 February from 9.30-11.30am. Cabonne Mayor Bob Dowling said he was excited that the two veterinary clinics had joined the Council to encourage pet owners to have their animals microchipped. “You are required by law to register your dog or cat when it is over six months old, so this is a great opportunity not only to help safeguard your pet, but to ensure you are not breaking the law,” Cr Dowling said. “Bookings will be essential, so I urge pet owners to get in early to book their places.” Free microchip scans will also be available if pet owners want to ensure old microchips are still in working order. The special offer is for residents of Cabonne Shire only, however there will be no limit on the number of dogs or cats an owner can have micochipped or vaccinated on the day. Owners will have to book a time slot for each animal to be treated. Pet owners must produce a current vaccination certificate to take advantage of the $25 microchipping only offer. All dogs and cats must on a leash or in a cage. Bookings are essential and can be made by contacting Cabonne Council on 02 6392 3247.

Canowindra Cricket Club had an impressive comeback last Saturday with a 5 wicket win over Bowling Club. Canowindra won the toss and went in bowling. At 10 overs Bowling Club were 0/66 and N Traves picked up the first wicket at 86. Opening bowler B Traves was bowling well and picked Blair Holgate for 60. Peter Guthrie came into the attack and picked up the next wicket before good work in the outfield by R Toole produced shortly after. Alex Myers and Peter bowled well together and pressure was building on the batsmen to score quickly. Myers picked up two wickets before Guthrie picked up another two and with two runouts, another to Toole and an impressive direct hit from N Traves, meant that the Bowling Club innings ended at 181. Although an imposing total it was a great effort in the field by the boys considering Bowling Club were 0/85 in only the twelfth over. P Guthrie led the bowlers with 3/36 from 10 overs while Myers (2/19 from 6), N Traves (1/38) and B Traves (1/41) were the other wicket takers. Canowindra’s run chase didn't start well with Jacob Devlin out for 1 in only the second over. Toole then joined B Traves and together they lifted the run rate until Traves fell for 19 after a 52 run partnership. P Guthrie joined Toole and both boys scored quickly. At 20 overs Canowindra was 2/82, needing 99 runs from the last 20 overs with Toole and Guthrie at the crease. Toole soon brought up his first senior half century in quick time and it was good to see Toole score big after showing good form and getting starts all season. He was out soon after for 55, and Nick Guthrie joined his brother Pete at the crease. The boys lifted the runrate before Nick was out for 15 and Shaun Craven came in with 29 runs to win. Pete soon brought up his 50 but was out with an impressive 65, included five 4s and one 6. Canowindra needed 5 to win when Harry Whatman came on who hit a four to bring victory for the Canowindra boys as he finished on 4 not out and Craven finished on 9 runs. The highlight of this innings was the 68 run partnership between P Guthrie and Rohan Toole. Next week the boys have the bye before playing their last three games.

HALF PRICE MICROCHIP/VACCINATION OFFER Dog and cat owners in Cabonne Shire will be able to have their pets microchipped and vaccinated later this month for half the normal price. Cabonne Council has combined with the Molong Veterinary Clinic and the Canowindra branch of the Cowra Veterinary Centre to offer the special $55 deal to both microchip and vaccinate an animal. If a pet is already vaccinated and the owner wishes to have it microchipped, the cost will be only $25. The service will be at 42 Gaskill Street Canowindra on Monday 20 February from 2.30-4pm and at 89 Bank Street Molong on Wednesday 22 February from 9.30-11.30am. Cabonne Mayor Bob Dowling said he was excited that the two veterinary clinics had joined the Council to encourage pet owners to have their animals microchipped. “You are required by law to register your dog or cat when it is over six months old, so this is a great opportunity not only to help safeguard your pet, but to ensure you are not breaking the law,” Cr Dowling said. “Bookings will be essential, so I urge pet owners to get in early to book their places.” Free microchip scans will also be available if pet owners want to ensure old microchips are still in working order. The special offer is for residents of Cabonne Shire only, however there will be no limit on the number of dogs or cats an owner can have micochipped or vaccinated on the day. Owners will have to book a time slot for each animal to be treated. Pet owners must produce a current vaccination certificate to take advantage of the $25 microchipping only offer. All dogs and cats must on a leash or in a cage. Bookings are essential and can be made by contacting Cabonne Council on 02 6392 3247.

Canowindra Cricket Club had an impressive comeback last Saturday with a 5 wicket win over Bowling Club. Canowindra won the toss and went in bowling. At 10 overs Bowling Club were 0/66 and N Traves picked up the first wicket at 86. Opening bowler B Traves was bowling well and picked Blair Holgate for 60. Peter Guthrie came into the attack and picked up the next wicket before good work in the outfield by R Toole produced shortly after. Alex Myers and Peter bowled well together and pressure was building on the batsmen to score quickly. Myers picked up two wickets before Guthrie picked up another two and with two runouts, another to Toole and an impressive direct hit from N Traves, meant that the Bowling Club innings ended at 181. Although an imposing total it was a great effort in the field by the boys considering Bowling Club were 0/85 in only the twelfth over. P Guthrie led the bowlers with 3/36 from 10 overs while Myers (2/19 from 6), N Traves (1/38) and B Traves (1/41) were the other wicket takers. Canowindra’s run chase didn't start well with Jacob Devlin out for 1 in only the second over. Toole then joined B Traves and together they lifted the run rate until Traves fell for 19 after a 52 run partnership. P Guthrie joined Toole and both boys scored quickly. At 20 overs Canowindra was 2/82, needing 99 runs from the last 20 overs with Toole and Guthrie at the crease. Toole soon brought up his first senior half century in quick time and it was good to see Toole score big after showing good form and getting starts all season. He was out soon after for 55, and Nick Guthrie joined his brother Pete at the crease. The boys lifted the runrate before Nick was out for 15 and Shaun Craven came in with 29 runs to win. Pete soon brought up his 50 but was out with an impressive 65, included five 4s and one 6. Canowindra needed 5 to win when Harry Whatman came on who hit a four to bring victory for the Canowindra boys as he finished on 4 not out and Craven finished on 9 runs. The highlight of this innings was the 68 run partnership between P Guthrie and Rohan Toole. Next week the boys have the bye before playing their last three games.
