CHANCES for Children has spent the past nine years ensur-ing that the absence of money doesn’t prevent local youngsters from achieving their dreams.

The group has helped more than 600 children reach their potential in that time, helping them pursue tertiary education, and by providing guidance and a shoulder to lean on in tough times.

Next Wednesday, August 12, is ‘Chances Day’, with the cel-ebratory event coinciding with the organisation’s birthday.

Chances coordinator Rebec-ca Thurman said the day would be an opportunity to celebrate the group’s achievements, and further promote Chances for Children’s profi le.

“Although the day does gen-erate much needed funds for Chances, it’s equally important to spread the word about the difference Chances has made for so many locals,” she said.

More than 40 schools have organised various activity events for ‘Chances Day’ in the past, raising more than $17,000. The

initiative will again be celebrat-ed in schools, with Chances staff asking local businesses to also come on board.

Businesses are free to host whatever form of fund-raising event they like, no matter how big or small, with Chances staff hosting a soup day this week for clients.

Anywhere from four to fi ve different varieties was on of-fer, with $5 per cup going to Chances.

“Events that businesses can run are only limited by imagina-tion,” Ms Thurman said. “From casual dress days to a shared lunch, or if they like they can copy our idea and host a soup day.

“We’re not fussed by how big or small the event is, the important thing is to celebrate the day, and at the same time hopefully raise some money for Chances.”

More information on how businesses can become involved in ‘Chances Day’ is available by contacting Lesley Cordoma on 5021 7489.

Chances Day a cause for celebration

What’s onIT could only happen in SA… local footy supporter

is not long back from watch-ing his team play Brisbane Lions in Adelaide.

Not far from AAMI Stadi-um, he and his mate left the car locked up while they went into a shop for a coffee.

The driver forgot he had left his two Port Adelaide club membership tickets in plain view on the front seat.

He returned to the car only to fi nd that someone had smashed the window to gain entry… and left two more tickets!

And while on the subject of South Australia, it’s

little wonder the 24-hour ‘servo’ at the Yamba fruit fl y checkpoint appears to be los-ing business.

Very noticeable in recent

months, according to fre-quent interstate travellers, has been a drop in the number of trucks parked there, and there are increasing reports of many Mildura people slip-ping straight through to the Caltex outlet/shop on the highway corner in Renmark.

And why wouldn’t you? When we last checked (and double-checked) the price of fuel was around fi ve cents a litre cheaper at Caltex, and a staggering 18 cents cheaper per litre for gas!

IT was no contest when a London lawyer took on a

Glaswegian policeman...A London lawyer runs a

stop sign and gets pulled over by a Glasgow copper.

He thinks that he is smart-er than the cop because he is a lawyer from LONDON and

is certain that he has a better education then any Jock cop.

He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Glasgow cops expense!

Glasgow cop says: “Licence and registration, please.”

London Lawyer says: “What for?”

“Ye did’nae come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

“I slowed down, and no one was coming...”

“Ye still did’nae come to a complete stop. Licence and registration, please.”

“What’s the difference?”“The difference is, ye

huv’te to come to complete stop, that’s the law. Licence and registration, please!”

The lawyer says: “If you can show me the legal differ-ence between slow down and stop, I’ll gladly give you my licence and registration; and you can give me the ticket. If not, you’ll let me go.”

Glasgow cop says: “Sounds fair. Exit your ve-hicle, sir.”

The London lawyer exits his vehicle.

The Glasgow cop takes out his baton and proceeds to beat the lawyer while asking: “Dae’ye want me to stop, or just slow doon?”

SOUPER!: Chances for Children coordinator Rebecca Thurman, and • Mallee Family Care’s Community Development Unit Manager Fiona Harley celebrate Chances Day by serving cups of soup to clients.

RED Cliffs, Cardross and Mil-dura South have some of Sun-raysia’s most dangerous intersec-tions according to a study aimed at making local roads safer.

The program is aimed at in-tersections which fall outside the Federal Government’s ‘grey spot’ and ‘black spot’ funding pro-grams, but still pose potential safety hazards for road users.

Twenty-one intersections have been earmarked for at-tention in the fi rst phase of the Mildura Council-managed pro-gram, which will see $190,000 spent on minor works which will hopefully have a major im-pact on safety.

The majority of intersections so far targeted are in higher speed zones, which have a high-er probability of serious injury or a fatality in the event of a col-lision.

They include the following intersections:

• Pawson Avenue and Co-orong Avenue, Red Cliffs.

• Myall Street and Dairtnunk Avenue, Cardross.

• Coorong Avenue and West-cliffs Avenue, Red Cliffs.

• 20th Street and Dairtnunk

Avenue.• 20th Street and Boomerang

Avenue, Cardross.• 22nd Street and Coorong

Avenue, Red Cliffs.• Coorong Avenue and Moo-

nah Street, Red Cliffs.• Boobook Avenue and West-

cliffs Avenue, Red Cliffs.

In the majority of cases, works include increasing the size of stop signs and erecting advi-sory signs warning of approach-ing stop signs or speed zones.

Two intersections mean-while will receive traffi c islands and line works - Millewa Avenue and Coorong Avenue and 22nd Street and Coorong Avenue, both in Red Cliffs.

One roadway, Boobook Av-enue, between Westcliffs Avenue and Myall Street, at Cardross, will have the speed limit changed to 80km/h.

In the majority of cases works will started on the high-lighted intersections in just over a week’s time, on Monday Au-gust 17. Most works should be completed by mid-September.

The Mildura Rural City Council will fund most of the works, $150,000. The remain-ing $40,000 will come from Vi-cRoads.

THEY’RE new to the Sunraysia music scene, but as they say in the classics – they’re willing and able.

They’re the members of the Mil-dura District Orchestra, ranging in age from 12 to 70, and they’re set for their fi rst public outing since form-ing in February this year.

To be staged in the Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club auditori-um next Sunday, August 16, the or-chestra’s fi rst concert is a free event that will showcase just how far the ensemble has come since the fi rst tentative steps were taken to form Sunraysia’s fi rst orchestra earlier this year.

“It is all coming together well,” the orchestra’s secretary, Fran Sette, said this week.

A veteran of the Broken Hill Or-chestra and a prime mover in get-ting the Mildura orchestra off the ground, Fran said she was “surprised how good we sound” in such a short time.

And now it is time for the pub-lic to fi nd out too! The concert will begin at 2pm and will feature works by Mozart and Bach before running the gamut of musical styles right through to the present day.

The orchestra’s rapid progress is due, Fran said, in no small part to the assistance of Mildura Brass Band.

“They’ve taken us under their wing, offering to lend us instru-

ments, providing a place to practice – the band’s 8th Street hall – and helped with the administration de-tails,” she said.

Fran said the Coomealla club had also been a strong supporter and was happy to provide a venue for the orchestra’s fi rst outing.

The new orchestra is being con-ducted by noted Sunraysia musician and former teacher, Glen Miller. That, Fran said, has been a real coup.

“Glen’s great. He has helped us enormously,” she said.

Orchestra members come from a wide cross-section of the commu-nity, while some others are students from various Sunraysia schools and some members of the Mildura Brass Band wanting to stretch their cre-ative talents.

Fran said the orchestra was en-couraging anyone who plays an instrument to become part of the group.

“We really do not care what you play,” she said. Even the lowly re-corder is represented, along with an assortment of brass, woodwind and stringed instruments more tradition-ally associated with an orchestra, but anyone is welcome to join up.

The orchestra members meet every Tuesday from 5.30pm for a 90-minute practice in the Mildura Band Hall.

For more information contact Fran on her mobile on 0400 069 473.

WENTWORTH has the po-tential to be to Mildura what weekend destinations like Maldon, Daylesford, Castle-maine and the like are to Mel-bourne, it has been claimed.

The claimant says the historic river port town pos-sesses many of the features that make it an ideal weekend getaway including plenty of accommodation choice, tran-quil riverine environs, points of historic interest, natural at-tractions like the junction of Australia’s two largest rivers and Thegoa Lagoon, and an increasing arts presence.

It also boasts three hotels, the Wentworth Services Sport-ing Club, top-notch sporting facilities including tennis, bowls and golf, a seven-day-a-week supermarket, three art galleries and, during the week and on Saturday mornings, a range of stores and services to rival any town its size across the country.

It was these attributes that attracted Mildura developer Dion Wilkie to town, and he is now in the midst of develop-ing 12 housing lots on prime riverfront land bounded by the Darling River, Armstrong Avenue and Wentworth Road (the road to Pooncarie).

The 12-lot subdivision features four blocks overlook-ing the Darling, a further four one step back from the river – described by Dion as his ‘seclusion blocks’, – and the fi nal four orientated to front Wentworth Road.

His fi rst house and land package on the site – facing Wentworth Road – is sched-uled to be completed within the month, and he is looking forward to starting on anoth-er soon after.

“Wentworth has so much potential,” Dion says. “It re-ally is a nice place... and I did not realise how good until I lived there for a few months last year.

“It really has everything you need, including a peace-ful, village atmosphere.”

His current development on the site is actually Stage 2. Stage 1 was relocating a home from 12th Street, Mildura, to a prime riverfront position on a portion of his land in April last year.

“I subdivided a block off the larger piece I had ac-quired, relocated the house and lived there for about six months before selling,” Dion said. “I really enjoyed Went-worth,” he says but like many in the development industry Dion sold up to move onto another project.

It’s the town on two rivers, Sunraysia’s oldest settlement and, according

to one Mildura developer a real jewel, but there is also a downside...

more assistance please!He started work on Stage

Two in September/October last year, with much prelimi-nary work focussing on pre-paring the site for habitation including a massive amount of earthworks to raise the site, followed by all the nec-essary water and sewerage works, roads, and kerb and guttering.

“I wanted a quality de-velopment,” he says proudly. “So I took the time to en-sure the ground work was all done well. I wanted to make it somewhere people would want to live.”

He strived to use Went-worth contractors for as much of the preliminary works as possible, including the earth-works and plumbing.

“It was a way of injecting some money back into the town,” he said.

Dion has also endeav-oured to make his subdivision family friendly, in line with a growing desire in the town to see more families make it their home.

“In talking to business-people in the town I know they would welcome more families,” he said.

His subdivision is also in response to a concern about a lack of land for residential development within Went-worth’s protective levee.

“While I am building house and land packages, I

would prefer to sell the re-maining blocks to people in-terested in building their own home,” Dion said.

“Especially the riverfront blocks. There is an opportu-nity there to build a really special, lifestyle home on the river...”

“And as riverfront land is getting increasing hard to fi nd, it could also be seen as a rare opportunity to live on the water within easy walking dis-tance of a range of shops and services.”

Dion’s enthusiasm for the town is palpable, but he said Wentworth Shire Coun-cil needs to do more to foster quality development.

For example, Dion said the

costs associated with develop-ing in the Wentworth Shire were about one third more ex-pensive than on the Victorian side of Sunraysia.

He pointed to the water supply as a classic example.

“In Mildura there is only one supply to a household, in Wentworth there are two – fi ltered and raw. That is a substantial added cost,” Dion said.

He suggested Council needed to take the longer term view when setting its develop-ment charges and what it was requiring developers to do; knowing that it will be receiv-ing an income from the prop-erty in the form of rates and charges for decades to come,

and that more families mov-ing into town is good for the Shire economy.

“If they want develop-ment, they need to make it more attractive for developers. It’s that simple,” Dion said.

He was quick to dispel a seemingly commonly held be-lief that all developers ‘make millions’ out of their develop-ments.

Many developments are potentially ruinous, he said.

“There is a lot of money that has to be paid upfront, and there are no guarantees the subdivision will sell... es-pecially not as quickly as we would sometimes like.”

And, he said, heband his fellow developers don’t do

what they do for fun.

It can be a hard work and “there has to be something in it for us too”.

“At the moment it is very diffi cult for a developer to make a project in the Went-worth Shire worth the effort,” Dion said.

He sees that as the reason why many developers, includ-ing those who have worked in the Shire in the past, are now shying away from the New South Wales side of Sunraysia.

It is too expensive, Dion says, to develop land for hous-ing when the likely return on the investment is considered.

Developing in Victoria is, it appears for the present at least, a much more attractive proposition.

That, Dion says, is a pity because Wentworth, and the New South Wales side of Sun-raysia, generally, has a lot to offer.

If things continue the way they are with over-use and abuse of our water supplies, the legacy

JUST a few decades ago, diversions from the Barwon-Darling River sys-tem amounted to 50,000 megali-tres a year.

Now they are around 1.5 mil-lion megalitres, and the Darling and its tributaries have been re-duced to a trickle.

And it’s getting worse, with over-allocation of licences, activa-tion of dormant licences, fl ood ir-rigation and diversions.

The Darling River Action Group, based in Broken Hill, is continuing its campaign for urgent action to save the Darling, so far without any good news.

Its chairman, Mark Hutton, has kept the Mildura Weekly up to date with latest developments over the past two years, and fears he and others are fi ghting a losing battle in a bid to save the river.

The group has now produced a 48-page booklet on the problems faced by the Darling River, and what it sees as some of the solutions.

Mark says the Darling River, slow, brown and majestic, has sus-tained fi sh life, wildlife and hu-mans for many thousands of years, but all that may be coming to an end.

He remembers a childhood spent with others camped on the banks of the river and Menindee Lakes, fi shing, yabbying in waters so clear you could fi ll the billy and boil up a cuppa, and later as a par-ent doing the same with his kids, although by that time the waters had changed because of the carp problem, and you had to take your own drinking water.

“Now I wonder if my grandchil-dren will be able to enjoy those ex-periences,” he says.

“What water there is in the riv-er is now not fi t to drink or swim

in, except during the occasional fl ush… the magnifi cent gum trees are long dead… old campsites are overgrown by introduced noxious weeds… native fi sh are close to ex-tinction levels because of the Euro-pean Carp, and birds and wildlife have due to destruction of the natu-ral habitat.”

Presenting the factsHe says the booklet produced

by his group seeks to present the facts, statistics and some possible solutions to the problems facing the Darling River system so people can make their own informed de-cisions.

“What we don’t need are more committees, studies or reports,” he said. “What we need is common sense and determination, because some hard decisions are going to have to be made to save the Dar-ling River.”

Mark says there are some in-teresting quotes from the Mur-ray Darling Commission website, which describes the reduction in fl ows of the Darling as “a contro-versial issue,” complicated by the recent drought.

The website also had a com-ment from a former water com-missioner who stated simply that the amount of water currently be-ing drawn from the Darling River system was not ecologically sus-tainable.

Mark says problems are also be-ing faced in the upstream tributar-ies, including the Culgoa, Border, Gwydir, Namoi and Macquarie/Bogan Rivers, with rare contribu-tions now from the Warrego and Paroo.

He says the contributions to the Darling by these rivers has been drastically reduced over the past three decades, and a lot of the water that did make it into the

lower reaches has been swallowed up by cotton crops.

The slow death of a river has caused hundreds of red gums to die off, many birds are losing their breeding grounds, Murray Cod are under threat from toxic fl ows and blue green algae, farmers are losing stock which are wandering through dry river beds, Bourke is being ‘strangled’ by Queensland developments, tourism activi-ties in former resorts such as the Menindee Lakes are suffering, and township water supplies are under threat.

Glimmer of hopeMark says there is a glimmer

of hope now that the Federal and NSW Governments had started to buy back some water licences… starting with a $50 million buy-back from the Murray-Darling Basin.

Then the Government bought Toorale Station, which had a se-ries of dams across the Warrego, with water licences worth $23.7 million, followed by Pillicaear-rina, which had been allowed to develop into a cotton farm despite being in the heart of a wetlands area.

Governments have since bought 15 gigalitres of water for the Macquarie marshes, with an-other 15g planned, the MDBC gained 15 gigalitres to boost the water table in northern NSW, NSW has budgeted about $135 million for river restoration, the Common-wealth has offered a $400 million buyback package for water licenc-es in Queensland and NSW, and NSW has bought Nulla Station at Lake Victoria to help preserve the huge natural water storage.

Continued next page•

Federal and State Governments have spent mega-millions buying back water licences in recent years, but it’s been a drop in the ocean compared to what needs to be done to bring the Murray Darling Basin back to life. The latest ‘report card’ says it’s a…

STEVE Posselt is the bloke who paddled or dragged a kayak, walked and ran 3000 kilome-tres down the Darling and Mur-ray Rivers two years ago in a bid to highlight the plight of the rivers, and our ecosystem.

As an engineer, businessman and family man, he feels the need to educate more people – especially the Government decision-makers, about the need for everyone to join together to do more to preserve our rivers, and our water supplies.

Now this outdoor adventurer is at it again, this time bringing out his bright yellow kayak for an assault this week on the Goulburn and upper Murray River systems, a trip he describes as “a mere sprint” compared to the 2007 epic.

This week and next, Steve will be paddling his kayak against the current for around 500 kilometres as his way of drawing attention to what he says are “the follies” of the State Government in building the

north-south pipeline.Posselt is well into his

journey from the Murray up into the Goulburn River to Yea, where he will pull his kayak over the Great Divide and into the Yarra River, and then take a downstream ‘run’ into Melbourne.

Awareness bid“I want to bring to the

attention of Melbourne people just what this pipeline means,” he said. “It is a pipeline that I can stand up in without

bending, designed to pump water from a Murray River system that now doesn’t reach the sea, and is drying up at the bottom end.”

He knows he’s facing an uphill battle, especially with a start already being made on the pipeline, “but that doesn’t mean that Melbourne people have to use it.”

“Almost as much rain falls on Melbourne now as the city uses in a year, and what are we doing about that,? He asks. “When there is not enough water to go round, no amount of large-scale engineering will get us out of trouble…in fact, it usually makes things worse.”

He has urged Melburnians to support the cause and not let the Government get away with ‘stealing’ this precious water supply. “The river needs it,” he says. “We have alternatives – the river doesn’t.”

Posselt made world-wide headlines for his 2007 epic journey by foot and kayak from Brisbane to Adelaide via the Murray-Darling.

For four months he paddled and walked, often dragging his wheeled kayak behind him as he wound his way through four states of Australia.

His regular updates along the way gave Australians a fasci-nating insight into the journey, and he was never too busy to give talks to schools, and ser-vice and community groups at towns along the way.

The former water engineer says he is passionate about riv-ers and educating people about climate change, and it was this that has fuelled his trips, turn-ing him into a modern day ad-venturer.

New targetsAfter his 2007 epic, Pos-

selt turned his attention to the Mary River near Gympie where, despite massive opposition, the State Government was forging ahead with plans to build the Traveston Crossing Dam.

His message is simple. He can see the writing on the wall about climate change and its impact on our traditional methods of water supply.

When he adds ever-increas-ing fuel prices and the dimin-

ishing supply of oil to the equa-tion, he just shakes his head at the wisdom of fl ooding good farming land near urban cen-tres when there are less expen-sive, more reliable alternatives.

Posselt believes Australian simply can’t afford to follow the same track we’ve been follow-ing for decades… burning fossil fuels, putting in infrastructure to sell off our resources to other countries, using questionable irrigation practices and “taking and taking” without heeding the laws of nature.

He says his journeys are a beacon, a warning, and hope-fully the start of a solution to a growing problem.

“We all want to build a way of life that benefi ts our children and our grandchildren,” he said. “If what we build is not sustain-able, then we have robbed them of their inheritance.

“From my observations, that is exactly what we have done. Our river systems are pre-cious. If they die, we die… and they are dying.”

we leave to our children and grandchildren will be a barren wasteland – Alan Erskine reports

From previous • page

Mark says these are all positive moves, but there were also some strange cases… such as the NSW Govern-ment spending $34 million to buy ‘sup-plementary fl ood-water’ entitlements from Tandou… de-scribed as a mysteri-ous purchase, given that there hadn’t been any fl oodwa-ters for 10 years.

Mark said that despite Govern-ment action, the situation was grim, and getting worse, especially with the prediction that by 2030, there could be 41 percent less water in the Murray region following massive upstream diversions, mainly for rice and cotton crops.

“There is no easy solution,” he said. “Ultimately the best way around most of the problems in-volves increasing the river fl ow.

“We should be developing water-sharing rules, estab-lish environmental needs, ensure deter-rent penalties for il-legal pumping and water theft, revise cap fi gures on all rivers in light of di-minishing rainfall, recover more water licences, increase on-farm effi ciency and return water savings to the river, establish a non-political man-agement group for the Murray-Darling Basin, and ensure that a Darling River report is revised and made public every fi ve years.

MILDURA has been included on an Emirates Airlines/Virgin Blue ‘Visit Australia’ fl ying pass that will potentially open up the Sunraysia region to a world-wide travel mar-ket of millions of tourists.

The unique ‘passport’ plan is designed to offer overseas visi-tors a simple, discounted and well planned travel itinerary to Mildura and other isolated regional Austra-lian resorts from at least 99 global departure points.

Emirates’ Australian vice-president, Stephen Pearse, said the ‘Emirates Visit Australia Pass’ should be a positive development for the Australian tourism industry, offering an easy incentive for over-seas travellers to see more of Aus-tralia than just capital cities.

“This project has the potential to make them stay longer,” he said. “Emirates’ move to sell this project via travel agents world-wide is tes-tament to our commitment to the Australian market, fi rstly by pro-viding top-class in-fl ight service, and also by giving back to the local industry through added support for inbound business.”

Mr Pearse said it was hoped the move would also strengthen his company’s new inter-line partner-ship with Virgin Blue to deliver a competitive fare and service for na-tional and international custom-ers.

Emirates currently fl ies to Bris-bane, Melbourne, Perth and Syd-ney, and the new travel plan will allow passengers travelling with Emirates into Australia to extend their journey to a choice of a fur-ther 22 destinations, including

Mildura, fl ying with Virgin Blue at a reduced cost.

Mr Pearse said because Emirates was one of the largest international airlines servicing Australia, the new product was seen as a positive step for Australian tourism, especially for the less widely known regions such as Mildura.

“It follows the agreement reached between Emirates and Vir-gin Blue in June to provide a single ticket option for travellers fl ying between the additional cities and regional centres serviced by Virgin Blue and Emirates global network,” he said.

The ‘Emirates Visit Australia’

pass must be issued in combina-tion with return fl ights on Emir-ates to Australia on a single ticket, provided the international return journey originates from outside Australia and New Zealand.

A minimum of two and a maximum of four domestic Vir-gin Blue fl ights can be combined with Emirates fl ights. The compa-nies say ticketing must be com-pleted by March 31 next year.

Since its launch in 1985, Emirates Airline has received more than 400 international awards in travel and customer service. It is said to be the world’s third most profi table airline, is listed among the top 20 largest international airlines, and reportedly one of the fastest-grow-ing.

Emirates is based in Dubai, one of the few cities in the world that pursues an open skies policy, with

more than 130 airlines in competi-tion.

Emirates’ 124 wide-bodied aircraft includes nine freighters, with its fl eet among the youngest in the skies, with an average age of under seven years. The airline plans to more than double its size by 2012.

Emirates’ original order for 58 A380s, currently under deliv-ery, makes Emirates the largest customer of the Airbus super-jumbo.

Its global network features services to 101 cities in more than 60 countries in Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Asia-Pacifi c.

Emirates confi rmed Australia’s status as a premier trade and tourism destination and its commitment to the country in early 2009 by increasing its weekly fl ights to Australia to 63, a number that will grow to 70 within a few months.

In February, Emirates began new services to Australia with the launch of an A380 on the Dubai-Sydney-Auckland route three times a week. Emirates currently operates double-daily services from Sydney, Brisbane and Perth as well as a thrice-daily service from Melbourne.

Emirates also operates 28 fl ights per week to New Zealand – daily to Christchurch from Sydney and thrice daily to Auckland from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Inquiries about Emirates fl ight can be made through 1300 303 777, or www.emirates.com.au.

Mildura’s global link with Emirates

HIGH FLYERS: The colourful and • distinctive uniform of the Emirates hosties, ABOVE, and an emblem, RIGHT, that needs no introduction

to readers – it’s the signature of United Kingdom record guru-cum global adventurer and billionaire

airline executive Sir Richard Branson.

WOMEN are undoubtedly the unsung heroes of our early pioneering days, and Mildura’s Valarie Robinson is trying to make sure they are remembered forever.

Valarie, RIGHT, has come up with some inter-esting information while re-searching pioneer women of Mildura, from 1880 to 1920, and is using this research for a planned two-year Masters degree in visual arts through the Bendigo campus of La-Trobe University.

“My overall aim is to in-terest more people in this project, hopefully with the result that people will come up with lots more informa-tion and photographs,” she

said. “I also plan to publish the information from my research in some written form.”

Valarie said she had al-ways had an interest in those who supported a leader – she calls them the unsung heroes, because without that support, little would have been achieved in the way of exploration, or creating new settlements from the wilder-ness.

During her honours year last year, Valarie studied the Chaffeys, and the Rio Vista connection.

She said W.B Chaffey was lauded as a leader of men who with brother George, pioneered this irrigation col-

ony of Mildura, as they had in California and Arizona.

But what of their women-folk? Canadian-born Hattie Schell, W.B’s fi rst wife, LEFT, accompanied him on his en-deavors, and arrived in Mil-dura almost a year after the two brothers sharing the Old Mildura Homestead with her surviving four children, as well as George’s family, until Rio Vista was completed.

“Unfortunately Hat-tie collapsed and died two weeks after giving birth to Maurice Murray, the fi rst of the Chaffeys to be born in Mildura,” she said.

“Baby Maurice died just four months after his moth-er, and is buried with her in

the Chaffey graveyard on the way to Apex Park.”

Two years later, on a trip to America to raise money, and to interest settlers and investors for the still fl edg-ling colony, W.B married his fi rst wife’s niece, also named Hattie (Sexton Schell). She was a cultured woman who had attended fi nishing school in Europe, and was also a talented musician.

ANIMAL lover Christine O’Brien could still raise a smile, with many fond mem-ories of her time in Mildura, despite losing two of her be-loved pets in a house fi re that saw her also lose many per-sonal possessions.

Christine, 52, left Mil-dura with caravan in tow at the weekend “to start a new life” near a son in the Port Wakefi eld region of South Australia.

She’s taking some of her surviving pets with her, and leaving others in the care of friends and neighbours who rallied around her in the wake of the fi re.

“I am so grateful to so many people who have helped me get through this expe-rience,” a still tearful Christine said as she described the events of Wednesday, July 15.

She had sold her home of seven years – 4 Pearl Avenue – just two weeks earlier, and had planned to vacate the premises in time for the new owners to move in around the end of August.

In the meantime she had bought a new photocopier for the study, a present for her daughter Katherine, 16, to make her Year 10 studies a little easier.

“The machine was plugged in and switched on while Kate and I went up to

IGA and the chemist,” Chris-tine said. “When we got back the house was on fi re, a TV crew was there, and we could see the fl ashing lights of the fi re trucks racing down near-by streets trying to fi nd our place.”

It was a distressing time, especially with her beloved pets – three dogs, four cats and six goldfi sh – locked in-side.

Firemen found nine-year-old Rompa J Stomper, the 42kg Rhodesian Ridgeback Cross, in a back bedroom, overcome with soot and smoke. They gave him oxy-gen and arranged for him to be rushed to a vet, but sadly the big fella didn’t make it.

“He was such a beautiful dog,” Christine said. “The fi remen and the vet and his staff couldn’t have done any

more.” Another of the fam-ily pets lost in the blaze was Prince, the fl uffy black cat.

As devastated as she was at losing her two beauti-ful animals, Christine was happy that most survived. These included another cat, Cloud, which shot to free-dom as Frank the neighbour smashed the back sliding door to gain entry.

Christine said that at the height of the blaze she had been desperately worried

about her two other dogs, Gypsy the seven-year-old

Foxy cross, and 10-year-old Poochie, a Pomera-nian Shelty cross, when fi remen emerged from out of the smoke and ash carrying two small black bundles in their arms.

“I couldn’t believe they were safe, and alive”

Christine said. “They were found hiding down

low behind the big TV in the lounge. Two baths later and the soot was still coming to the surface of their fur.”

Christine, a nurse by pro-fession, came to Mildura with Katherine seven years ago to care for an aunt, known widely as former nursing sister Val Tully. When she passed away aged 71, Chris-tine stayed on to look after her gran, Val’s mum Bertha, who later passed away, aged 96.

beloved pets and many personal possessions the people and groups who rallied to help. mum starting a new life says…

her in Mildura, Christine had put the house on the market, was pleased when it sold quickly, and was in the mid-dle of the packing up process at the time of the fi re.

She was high in her praise for the many people and or-ganizations who came to her aid in the aftermath of the blaze – fi refi ghters, the insur-ance company’s Mildura rep-resentative, staff at the vets, neighbours, Mallee hous-ing group who found them emergency accommodation at Sunraysia Holiday Park opposite Mildura Airport, Department of Human Ser-vices, Salvation Army, coun-

selling services and others.“The lovely people at

the caravan park have ad-opted my beautiful chooks… I’m happy they are in good hands,” she said.

Katherine, who was dev-astated to lose her comput-er, copier, school work and personal possessions in the blaze, has already left Mil-dura to stay with relatives so she can complete her 2009 studies.

Christine, meanwhile, has had some work done on an old caravan that will be her new home for a while in SA until she fi nds a place “with some space for me and

my beautiful animals.”Apart from the chooks,

the surviving dogs and cats will accompany her…as will the six goldfi sh that some-how managed to survive the fi erce heat, smoke and a 5cm layer of soot covering the surface of the water in their tank.

“In a way I am sad to be leaving Mildura,” Christine said. “I have made many friends here, and we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of many people and groups in the wake of the fi re.

“But now it’s time to start a new chapter in our lives.”

SOME SAVED, SOME • LOST: Christine was happy that all her pet

goldfi sh survived (TOP) despite the heat, smoke and ash, and delighted

that one of her cats, Cloud, RIGHT, escaped

the inferno, but she was devastated to lose another pride and joy, Rompa the Rhodesian Ridgeback despite the

best efforts of vets.

DARLENE Belleville, 54, has discovered a new love of life... and it’s all thanks to Dareton Community Health’s ‘My Body Challenge’.

More than 120 people from Wentworth, Dareton, Buronga and Gol Gol partici-pated in the program, which Darlene says has helped her discover a healthy alternative to living.

She’s fi t, healthy and more active than she’s been in years, shedding 9.8 kilograms during the 10 week challenge.

Darlene’s efforts have also culminated in the Pomona resident being crowned the initiative’s ‘biggest los-er’, winning $300 toward continuing her weight loss goals.

She said she was ec-static with her progress, and to be named the over-all winner.

“It’s a wonderful feel-ing to be full of energy, and at the same time watch kilos disappear,” Darlene said. “I know that without this program I never would have found the motivation to achieve my goals, and start losing weight.

“And I don’t plan on stopping. I want to contin-ue to eat right and exercise regularly, and start enjoy-ing life.”

Darlene said the pro-gram had helped her come to grips with some of the is-sues related to weight loss, like recognising the effects that certain foods have on the body, and overcoming mental barriers.

“Weight loss is such a big issue for people, and most of the time they need that extra push to do the ‘right thing’ when it comes to eating and exercising,” she said.

“We all know that we shouldn’t eat junk, but we do. We all know that we should exercise, and half the time we don’t.

“I think this program was the kick in the pants that I

needed to make the necessary changes in my life.”

Darlene said her achieve-ment wouldn’t have been pos-sible without the support and guidance of those involved in the program, especially friend and now offi cial ‘walking buddy’ Norma Cox.

“I rang up Norma after seeing an ad for the challenge on television, and basically told her to fi nd some walk-ing shoes,” she said. “She was keen to get involved, and we’ve both motivated one an-other.”

Norma, 54, has also en-

joyed a reduced waist line due to her participation, losing 4 kilograms.

‘My Body Challenge’ co-ordinator Monica Jessop said the program’s main aim was to help participants learn about healthy eating and physical activity measures, and not necessarily about los-ing big numbers.

“Any weight lost was con-sidered a bonus,” she said. “The main point was for peo-ple to gain an understanding of they should and shouldn’t be eating.”

Participants were encour-aged to attend voluntary

weigh-ins to monitor their progress, along with listening to advice provided by dieti-cians, motivational speakers and an exercise physiologist.

And while setting weight loss goals was the main aim of the program, it didn’t stop some friendly competition taking place between the three different communities.

To entice participants to put all they’d learned into practice, a special $300 prize was up for grabs, awarded to the community that lost the most weight at the end of 10 weeks.

Wentworth claimed fi rst place, with residents shedding a combined 56.1 kilograms, with the group donating their winnings to Sunraysia Cancer Re-sources.

Dareton fi nished sec-ond with a 47.4 kilogram loss, while Buronga and Gol Gol shed 26.8 kilo-grams.

Mrs Jessop said that the challenge could only be considered a success, and that Dareton Community Health would look to rein-troduce the initiative next year.

“You only need to look at the numbers participants have achieved to see that it was a successful program for locals,” she said. “On average challengers lost between three to four kilo-

grams, which is a fantastic re-sult over a 10 week period.”

Darlene said that her next mission was to start a walking group in Wentworth, so that more people could start their own weight loss journey’s.

“Starting a walking group would be my way of helping not only myself achieve goals, but provide a place where anybody who wants to try and lose weight can come,” she said.

More information on the ‘My Body Challenge’ is avail-able by contacting Dareton Community Health Services on 5021 7200.

When Pomona’s Darlene Belleville decided she needed a new challenge, she settled on Sunraysia’s equivalent of TV’s ‘Biggest Loser.’ That was 10 weeks ago, and as VINNIE RODI reports, her decision has led to some money in the pocket, and...

A lot of weight off her shoulders...

THE Sunray-sia group of the Australian Breastfeeding

Association celebrated World Breastfeeding Week yester-day, with a morning tea held at Mildura’s ‘Fun Jungle’.

Mothers, toddlers and babies all enjoyed a morning out, with this year’s theme ‘Breastfeeding in Emergen-cies: A Vital Response’ an opportunity to acknowledge emergency services need to understand how best to care for breastfeeding mothers caught up in an emergency situation.

According to ABA coun-sellor Bernadette Gardner, helping mothers protect in-fants by providing them with a safe source of food, water and comfort could make “all the difference.”

To meet this need the ABA has developed a card for aid workers, that recommend mothers need priority access

to food, privacy, support from other women, safety, reassur-ance and access to skilled as-sistance with breast feeding.

These cards will be dis-tributed to the proper agen-cies throughout the country, including those in Sunraysia.

“Where infants are not breastfed, it can be extremely diffi cult to provide them with appropriate food and water in emergency circumstances, even in a country like Aus-tralia,” Mrs Gardner said. “Delaying weaning from breastfeeding until after the emergency season is passed should be encouraged as part of emergency preparedness.”

For those mothers who formula feed their babies, they should include a stor-age of additional formula, 24 litres of water per day for making up feeds and clean-ing, detergent, a feeding cup,

a gas stove, fuel, pot and a kettle for boiling water.

“An emergency situation can be traumatic time for both mother and baby,” Mrs Gardner said. “Providing mothers with the appropriate care can make all the differ-

ence.”ABA Sunraysia in part-

nership with Best Start Mildura is encouraging local businesses to support this new initiative by registering as a ‘breastfeeding friendly’ venue.

Businesses will benefi t by being included in the Breast-feeding Friendly Locations directory, to be promoted in the ABA Sunraysia Group newsletter.

More information on both the breast feeding emer-gency response information card, or on how to register as a breastfeeding friendly ven-ue, is available by contacting Rachel Fuller on 0427 396 940 or rfaba@aapt.net.au.

Information card to aid breast feeding mothers in trouble

A NEW book launched yesterday at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance is sure to evoke interest from Sunraysia relatives of men who served with the 8th Light Horse regiment of 1914-19.

The latest book by Slouch Hat Publications, ‘They Rode Into History,’ was written by former Bacchus Marsh man Max Emery, whose great uncle was killed in Palestine while serving with the 8th Light Horse.

It was launched by Lieutenant-Colonel Neil Smith, AM, who wrote the earlier book ‘Men of Beersheba,’ before a guest list that included many relatives of men who served with the 8th Regiment.

The heavy sacrifi ce that the 8th paid during the charge of the Nek has embedded that brief battle fi rmly into Australian mili-tary history.

The Regiment was ini-tially formed as the 6th Light Horse Regiment at Broadmeadows in Septem-ber, 1914, from the hun-dreds of men who enlisted from rural Victoria.

A re-organisation of the rapidly expanding AIF in early October resulted in the 6th being renumbered the 8th, and it became part of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade, sailing from Mel-bourne for Egypt on Febru-ary 24, 1914.

The Light Horse were said to be unsuitable for

initial operations at Galli-poli, and were subsequent-ly deployed without their horses.

The 3rd Light Horse Brigade landed in late May, 1915, and attached to the New Zealand and Aus-tralian Division. The 8th

formed the fi rst two waves for the Brigade’s disastrous attack on the Nek on Au-gust 7, and suffered cata-strophic losses. Exhausted and under-strength, the regiment then played a de-fensive role until it fi nally left the peninsula on De-cember 20, 1915.

Back in Egypt, the 3rd Light Horse Brigade be-came part of the ANZAC Mounted Division, and in March, 1916, joined the forces defending the Suez Canal from a Turkish drive across the Sinai Desert.

The Turks were turned

at Romani. Although it didn’t take part in the ac-tual battle, the 8th Light Horse participated in the advance that followed the Turks’ retreat back across the desert.

By December 1916, this advance had reached

the Palestine frontier, and the 8th was involved in the fi ghting on December 23 at the Turkish outpost of Maghdaba, which was cap-tured at bayonet point.

The next Turkish strong-hold to be encountered was Gaza. The 3rd Light Horse Brigade, now part of the Imperial Mounted Di-vision (later re-named the Australian Mounted Divi-sion), was involved in the two abortive battles to cap-ture Gaza directly (March 27 and April 19, 1917) and then the operation that ul-timately led to its fall – the

wide outfl anking move via Beersheba that began on October 31.

With the fall of Gaza on November 7, 1917, the Turkish position in south-ern Palestine collapsed. The 8th participated in the pursuit that followed, lead-ing to the capture of Jeru-salem in December. The focus of British operations then moved to the Jordan Valley.

In early May, 1918, the 8th was involved in the Es Salt raid. It was reported as a tactical failure, but did help to convince the Turks that the next offensive would be launched across the Jordan.

Instead, the offensive was launched along the coast on September 19, 1918. Mounted forces penetrated deep into the Turkish rear areas, severing roads, railways and com-munications links.

The 8th Light Horse took part in the capture of Tiberius on September 25 and Sasa on September 29. It entered Damascus on October 1, and was resting in Homs when the Turks surrendered on October 31.

While waiting to em-bark for home, the regi-ment was called back to operational duty to quell the Egyptian revolt that erupted in March, 1919. Order was restored in little over a month, and The 8th sailed for home on July 3, 1919.

Slouch Hat Publications, publishers of Australian military history, have joined with author Max Emery to tell the tragic story of the 8th Light Horse. Sadly, it reveals how…

Research degreeputs spotlight onpioneer women

From Page 10•

When Hattie arrived in Mil-dura, she moved into the newly-completed Rio Vista, becoming step mother to her three nephews and one niece. She had six chil-dren, three of whom did not reach maturity.

Hattie inaugurated musical ‘At Homes’ and was a member of sev-eral musical societies. She assisted the local indigenous tribes, and helped local workmen when they were sick or injured. Within a few years of her marriage, the Chaffey Brothers were declared bankrupt and faced fi nancial ruin.

Valarie said W.B tried to sell the house, but no-one had the money to buy it. “Hattie would have needed to face the realities of a restricted lifestyle, but at least she had a decent roof over her head, and a husband who was a hard working man with vision and the strength of character needed to continue the settlement,” she said.

“Other women certainly did it tougher than the two Hatties. One family took 16 days to travel from near Stawell to Mildura by dray and wagon. Two days out a 16-year-old in the group wrote in her diary that she wished she had never begun this trip.

The land was in drought, there were dead and dying animals ev-erywhere, and water was hard to fi nd. They expected to be able to travel by river steamer from Swan Hill but the river was too low and they continued their weary way, unloading to go up the sandhills and struggling with bogged vehi-cles and many hardships.

A sudden thunderstorm add-ed to their woes, and again they faced boggy roads of a different sort. They were pleased to reach the ferry at Gol Gol and to arrived at the home of Mr Trevatt …and a proper bed that night for the fi rst time in almost a week.

Valarie said most women of the day went about their daily business without any recognition, and their deeds and pioneering spirit went virtually unrecorded as they labored alongside their menfolk to establish their pioneer blocks.

At that time, women were re-stricted from having their own money or property, and had no civil rights. There were certain ex-pectations of behavior, decorum and dress. Education of the chil-dren, housekeeping and honour-ing their husband were expected attributes.

If a woman needed to earn a

living there were few acceptable jobs. The ones that were available including washing and ironing, shop assistant, or sewing, all of which were poorly paid, and in-clined to keep women at the bot-tom of the economic and social ladder.

In the local papers most ar-ticles were written by men and about men, and so there was little to record the lives of women who contributed such a lot to the Mil-dura region.

Valarie said she was keen to learn more about their lives, with a view to publishing an account of their role as pioneers.

“I have a lot more questions than answers at the moment,” she said. “I want to know how most of them arrived here… was it to follow the family, or a husband’s dream of owning land?

Did they come independently

seeking work, or to set up a busi-ness? What did they do socially, or in the church?

“Where did they live – what was their fi rst house, was in a bark shelter, bag humpy or a proper house?

“Also how did they care for their families – cooking on a stove or outdoor fi re, trapping the ever plentiful rabbits, growing vegeta-bles, milking a cow, washing with a copper fi lled with boiling water, collecting wood, and caring for sick children?”

Valarie said she would love to read some fi rst-hand accounts of these women, through their dia-ries or reminiscences.

She has a invited anyone with information to make contact through her email – valarob@big-pond.com, or by phoning 04 0801 8342 or 03 5023 2568

Toyota has reinvented the Prius petrol-electric hybrid car, releasing

a third-generation model range that sets new standards for environ-

mental performance. In almost every respect, Toyota has fi ne-tuned

and refi ned new Prius to provide a substantial step-up and expand the

gap over the competition.

Styling is fresh, but unmistakably Prius, while the interior is slightly

larger and the car features and options commonly found in premium

cars. The Hybrid Synergy Drive system mates a bigger and more pow-

erful petrol engine with a stronger electric motor. It is the cleanest

production car sold in Australia with CO2 emissions of 89 grams/

km – the only vehicle on the local market under 100g.

Fuel consumption has been improved by more than 11.3 per cent to

3.9 litres per 100km (offi cial combined cycle). City cycle is also 3.9 and

highway cycle is 3.7 litres/100km.

A Head-Up Display provides speed and other information on the wind-

screen in the driver’s line of sight. When the driver touches the audio

or information controls on the steering-wheel hub, Toyota’s world fi rst

Touch Tracer system displays a duplicate read-out on the instrument

panel. All Prius models are fi tted with seven airbags – two front, two

side (front), two curtain-shield (full- length) and one protecting the

driver’s knee. Stability and traction control, active front head restraints

and anti-skid brakes are also standard.

Another innovation is ecological plastic – the world’s fi rst automo-

tive use of injection-moulded material derived from plants. Used in

several locations throughout new Prius including the driver’s seat

cushion, the plastic emits less CO2 during its cycle than petroleum

based materials.

The new engine and improved hybrid system feature a 1.8-litre four-

cylinder engine, replacing the 1.5-litre engine on the previous model.

The bigger engine produces more power – 73kW, up from 56kW – and

more torque – 142Nm, up from 110Nm.

In addition to driving Prius like a normal car, the hybrid system of-

fers three new driver-controlled modes: EV (electric vehicle), ECO and

Power mode. In ECO, the throttle is managed for fuel economy and the

air-conditioning is strictly controlled. In EV, the vehicle stays in elec-

tric-only mode longer at lower speeds. The vehicle can operate up to

50km/h for approximately 1-2km, depending on the state of charge.

New Prius has been extensively redesigned, through the exterior

look is instantly recognisable. The overall shape is sleeker, with a

drag coeffi cient of 0.25 – making the Prius the most aerodynamically

effi cient car in the world.

Two equipment grades are offered – Prius and Prius i-Tech. Prius

starting from $39,900 plus dealer delivery and on road costs.

test drive, contact Sunraysia Toyota today. Phone: (03) 5021 2999

By VINNIE RODI

WHILE the majority of Sun-raysia residents have little or no problem reading a news-paper, watching television or working out how much their latest bill is for, there are ex-ceptions.

Take Cabarita’s Maureen Hewson for example. Maureen suffers from a vision impair-ing condition called macular degeneration and for her, and others with the same disorder, simple everyday activities can become very diffi cult.

Macular degeneration oc-curs when the eye’s retina, the part of the eye that distin-guishes light from shade, and is essential for 20/20 vision, becomes damaged by blood clots.

The result is an increas-ing loss of sight, with reading and recognising faces becom-ing harder the longer a person goes without treatment.

And while enough periph-eral vision can remain to al-low other daily activities, it’s a condition that can become very frustrating.

Maureen, 83, has been living with macular degenera-tion for four years – her eye-sight steadily deteriorating to a point where she was relying on family and friends to help complete daily tasks most people take for granted.

The slow loss of indepen-dence was becoming increas-ingly frustrating, leading Mau-reen to seek other options.

“I’ve always been an in-dependent person,” she said.

“I’ve always cooked and cleaned for myself, and looked after myself pretty well.

“This condition, while manageable, was affecting my vision to a point where I was forced to become reliant on others... something I wanted to avoid.”

After talking with people from the Mildura Vision Aus-

tralia branch, Maureen learned of a new piece of equipment helping those similar to her-self regain their ‘sight’.

Called a ‘CCTV’ (Closed Circuit Television), the ma-chine comprises of a comput-er monitor and state-of-the-art camera that magnifi es text up to 50 times its original size.

It can be modifi ed to view

black and white or coloured text, depending on what best suits the viewer. All Maureen has to do is place the neces-sary piece of paper, bill, news-paper etc. underneath the camera, with the text blown up to a more readable size.

The CCTV costs approxi-mately $4000, a price Mau-reen said had been worth it.

“It’s become my lifeline, and has given me my inde-pendence back,” she said. “I can now read correspondence, look up recipes or deal with bills with little problems.

“It’s an amazing feeling to not have to contact people to help me complete simple tasks.”

Maureen said that while

the cost of the equipment could prove diffi cult for some, she highly recommended it to those in similar situations.

“Things can be tough for pensioners fi nancially, but this gadget has improved my life more than I could have hoped,” she said.

Vision Australia Mildura team manager, Jenny Gib-bons, said the main role of the organisation was to help people like Maureen achieve a sense of normalcy in their lives.

“We pride ourselves on encouraging clients to be-come independent, providing them with choices on how they can obtain information,” she said.

“Something like fi ve per-cent of written information is available in other forms, so pieces of equipment like the CCTV become important for those who have no other choice but to read.”

Jenny said a dozen of Mildura’s vision impaired locals were already utilising the CCTV, with Vision Austra-lia working on ways to make more of the technology avail-able to those who might not be able to afford it.

Vision Australia provides a range of services for people experiencing sight loss, in-cluding low vision clinics, recreation programs and Vi-sion Australia Radio (107.5 FM).

More information is avail-able by contacting 5023 5495 or visit Vision Australia at 123 Langtree Avenue, Mildura.

DEBORAH KLEIN is a Melbourne-based print-maker, painter and drawer. She is currently in residence at The Art Vault and her exhibition is titled ‘Introduced Species’. Deborah’s work explores the beauty and mys-tery of the feminine. ‘Moth Masks’ is a series of 16 hand- coloured linocuts in which the face of each woman has been masked by delicately carved and handcoloured moths. Not butterfl ies, these moths are creatures of the night and camoufl age. Furry, heavy and forming part of the female’s face, they are more mutations than surface ornament. Combined with these are the 11 masks which hang on the adjoining wall, white sculpted face masks which have moths painted over them, cavi-ties for each eye form part of the patterning of the wings. As a viewer we are forced to confront veil-ing our own faces with the masks. ‘The En-chanted Hair Ornaments’ is a series of eight hand -coloured linocuts where beetles, moths and insects become ornaments on elaborate combs which hold in place beautifully knotted hair. The hair becomes an intricate mapping of curves and twisted patterns of hair which are held in place by these oversized combs. A red back spider resting on her web forms the body of the comb, daring us to come closer to inspect her web, luring us into

the sensuous area of the nape of the woman’s neck. We also get a glimpse into the daily ritual of a woman’s grooming – of each woman spin-ning and weaving her hair into place. Adjacent to these eight linocuts is a se-ries of 16 miniature canvases hung in two lines of eight. The top row repeats The En-chanted Hair Ornament linocuts yet they are more detailed and glow with the luminous jewel-like qualities of the paint. The hair be-comes softer and individually coloured to interact with each hair ornament and the insects are painted in life like detail. Each canvas reveals its own personality and a very real moment of intrusion into the life of each woman. The second row of canvases carries the story of ‘The Enchanted Hair Ornaments’. This is a contemporary fairy tale written by Deborah and illustrated through the paintings and prints. With the exhibition there is an informal launch of There was once … the collected fairytales by Deborah Klein. These are fairytales for a modern audience with the twists and turns of the original Grimm stories.

Deborah’s exhibition is now open and concludes on Sunday the 9th of August.

Espousers of artEspousers of art in Mildura were in a fuddle when deciding between the Film Festival and the Mildura Writers Festival. Mad dashes were made between venues as the metronome ticked between poetry of motion and poetry of words.

Film FestivalThe Goat was pleased to have been invited along to the Mildura Film Festival in the capacity of VIP fi lm critic. She knows that her likeness to Margaret Pomeranz was no mere coincidence; however she relished the opportunity to play Margaret opposite the esteemed organiser’s David. Getting plenty of stars were the delightfully art-licious Summer Hours and the harrowing portrayal of the Goat’s relatives in the harsh Kazakh steppes in Tulpan. The Italian mafi a fl ick had points taken off for losing the audience in the middle and Penelope Cruz’s Goya-like breasts gave Elegy 2 stars.

Masters GamesWith tennis attire primped and pressed, her Goatness is set to wow the crowds at the forthcoming Masters Games. She only hopes cossie controversies don’t swamp events in the pool and wishes to remind competitors that budgie smug-glers are only appropriate if you’re under ten.

Wintersun FestivalAnother upcoming event, the Wintersun Festival, has the Goat feeling a little bit confused. Why so, you ask? Once upon a time there was a hotel in our area called the Wintersun, which has left the Goat wondering if the Winter-sun Festival will involve a lot of beer drinking. Fortunately, it turns out, after some investigation, that it is in fact a festival to celebrate the Winter sun. Coincidently, the festival happens to coincide with Mildura’s Masters Games and Elvis’ Anniver

sary, which leaves the Goat pondering: Will there be any Elvis impersonators partaking in the ten-pin bowling events? One for the money…

Aussie OutbackTwo groups of American 20 some-things descended on our metropolis re-cently for a uniquely Aussie edge of the outback experience. Unfortunately, it seems someone omitted to point out to the 32 females (and three males) that the wildlife of Mungo and Mu-tawintji have never before been subjected to hair straight-eners or glittery disco make-up. Was this the unavoid-able infl uence of a certain ‘Dandy-about-town’, or one too many screenings of Priscilla Queen of the Desert?.

The GoatThe Goat has been musing about the slew of centenary cel-ebrations that seem to be proliferating in the Sunraysia area. First it was Wentworth, then Ouyen, next Merbein, with Murrayville set to celebrate next year. If the Goat samples one more slice of giant birthday cake, she may not be able to fi t into her crystal encrusted skinny jeans!

MIA began her artistic endeavors at the Uni-

versity of South Australia. She enrolled to

become a painter and on quick realisation

that she was in fact a terrible painter pursued

the other creative avenues available to her

within the Visual Art course.

This led to the discovery of the university

hot shop or glass blowing studio where it be-

came evident that this was in fact going to be

Mia’s chosen direction.

Whilst studying various glass techniques as

part of the university curriculum Mia also

dabbled in jewellery design, stocking hand

made jewellery in various boutiques around

Adelaide and selling to friends. The love of

creating unusual designs and products that

are individual became a passion. To this day

she continues to play with objects, beads and

mixed media to create accessories that are

not found in mainstream stores.

On moving back to her home town of Mil-

dura, Mia quickly acquired theequipment re-

quired to set up a home studio allowing her

to produce a unique range of glass pendants,

beaded necklaces and is currently working on

a clay range of rings, bracelets and necklaces.

Mia’s full range of jewellery can be viewed at

The Art Vault and she is always happy to cus-

tom design a gift or special something.

DEBORAH KLEIN is a Melbourne-based print-maker, painter and drawer. She is currently in residence at The Art Vault and her exhibition is titled ‘Introduced Species’. Deborah’s work explores the beauty and mys-tery of the feminine. ‘Moth Masks’ is a series of 16 hand- coloured linocuts in which the face of each woman has been masked by delicately carved and handcoloured moths. Not butterfl ies, these moths are creatures of the night and camoufl age. Furry, heavy and forming part of the female’s face, they are more mutations than surface ornament. Combined with these are the 11 masks which hang on the adjoining wall, white sculpted face masks which have moths painted over them, cavi-ties for each eye form part of the patterning of the wings. As a viewer we are forced to confront veil-ing our own faces with the masks. ‘The En-chanted Hair Ornaments’ is a series of eight hand -coloured linocuts where beetles, moths and insects become ornaments on elaborate combs which hold in place beautifully knotted hair. The hair becomes an intricate mapping of curves and twisted patterns of hair which are held in place by these oversized combs. A red back spider resting on her web forms the body of the comb, daring us to come closer to inspect her web, luring us into

the sensuous area of the nape of the woman’s neck. We also get a glimpse into the daily ritual of a woman’s grooming – of each woman spin-ning and weaving her hair into place. Adjacent to these eight linocuts is a se-ries of 16 miniature canvases hung in two lines of eight. The top row repeats The En-chanted Hair Ornament linocuts yet they are more detailed and glow with the luminous jewel-like qualities of the paint. The hair be-comes softer and individually coloured to interact with each hair ornament and the insects are painted in life like detail. Each canvas reveals its own personality and a very real moment of intrusion into the life of each woman. The second row of canvases carries the story of ‘The Enchanted Hair Ornaments’. This is a contemporary fairy tale written by Deborah and illustrated through the paintings and prints. With the exhibition there is an informal launch of There was once … the collected fairytales by Deborah Klein. These are fairytales for a modern audience with the twists and turns of the original Grimm stories.

Deborah’s exhibition is now open and concludes on Sunday the 9th of August.

Espousers of artEspousers of art in Mildura were in a fuddle when deciding between the Film Festival and the Mildura Writers Festival. Mad dashes were made between venues as the metronome ticked between poetry of motion and poetry of words.

Film FestivalThe Goat was pleased to have been invited along to the Mildura Film Festival in the capacity of VIP fi lm critic. She knows that her likeness to Margaret Pomeranz was no mere coincidence; however she relished the opportunity to play Margaret opposite the esteemed organiser’s David. Getting plenty of stars were the delightfully art-licious Summer Hours and the harrowing portrayal of the Goat’s relatives in the harsh Kazakh steppes in Tulpan. The Italian mafi a fl ick had points taken off for losing the audience in the middle and Penelope Cruz’s Goya-like breasts gave Elegy 2 stars.

Masters GamesWith tennis attire primped and pressed, her Goatness is set to wow the crowds at the forthcoming Masters Games. She only hopes cossie controversies don’t swamp events in the pool and wishes to remind competitors that budgie smug-glers are only appropriate if you’re under ten.

Wintersun FestivalAnother upcoming event, the Wintersun Festival, has the Goat feeling a little bit confused. Why so, you ask? Once upon a time there was a hotel in our area called the Wintersun, which has left the Goat wondering if the Winter-sun Festival will involve a lot of beer drinking. Fortunately, it turns out, after some investigation, that it is in fact a festival to celebrate the Winter sun. Coincidently, the festival happens to coincide with Mildura’s Masters Games and Elvis’ Anniver

sary, which leaves the Goat pondering: Will there be any Elvis impersonators partaking in the ten-pin bowling events? One for the money…

Aussie OutbackTwo groups of American 20 some-things descended on our metropolis re-cently for a uniquely Aussie edge of the outback experience. Unfortunately, it seems someone omitted to point out to the 32 females (and three males) that the wildlife of Mungo and Mu-tawintji have never before been subjected to hair straight-eners or glittery disco make-up. Was this the unavoid-able infl uence of a certain ‘Dandy-about-town’, or one too many screenings of Priscilla Queen of the Desert?.

The GoatThe Goat has been musing about the slew of centenary cel-ebrations that seem to be proliferating in the Sunraysia area. First it was Wentworth, then Ouyen, next Merbein, with Murrayville set to celebrate next year. If the Goat samples one more slice of giant birthday cake, she may not be able to fi t into her crystal encrusted skinny jeans!

20 years of the Hottest 100 TRIPLE J'S hottest 100 is one of the largest public music polls in the world with millions of individual votes counted since it's inception in 1989. Originally listeners were asked to compile a list of their favourite songs of all time and mail them to triple j. Diligent triple j staffers then tallied these votes by hand! Today things have been greatly simplifi ed behind the scenes, with all vot-ing cast using either SMS or online. Joy Division topped the fi rst hottest 100 with the classic "Love Will Tear Us Apart". The seminal British band stayed on top for successive years until a band called Nirvana re-leased a little tune by the name of "Smells like Teen Spirit" in '91. The focus of the hottest 100 changed after these early years limiting the voting selection to songs released in the previous 12 months. Since the change, Australian artists have featured prominently with Spiderbait, The Whitlams, Powderfi nger, Alex Lloyd and Jet all having taken the coveted

number one position. Things have come a long way baby. triple j’s Hottest 100 is the world’s biggest music democracy. It is a celebrated, one of a kind list compiled by YOU and this year marks its 20th An-niversary. Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the institution that is our Hottest 100 countdown, Triple J lifted the shackles. Instead of only being able to select songs from the previous 12 months, as a nod to the music polls origins, they asked you to make a hair-tearing choice and give them your top 10 tracks of all time. It was a big ask, but the response of more than over half a million votes for 13,000 songs, it was a huge week of music history. The results: Radiohead and Jeff Buckley scored the most entries; four each. Michael Jackson was rating highly, but his death ensured a second entry. Bon Iver is the newest artist, with ‘Skinny Love’. Eight #1’s in previous polls re-appeared including songs from Kings Of Leon, Muse, and Franz Ferdi-nand, and 11 songs from the fi rst Hottest 100 reappeared 20

years on. But ultimately it was Nirvana taking it out with their soundtrack to the 1990’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. A song that revolutionised music. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ began life as a Pixies pastiche and grew to embody the im-potent rage of a generation. A tidal wave of incendiary riffs and Kurt’s coruscating rasp, it catapulted Nevermind to the top of charts around the world before ultimately becoming a millstone around the singer’s neck, often dropped from sets or performed discordantly. Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna once spray-painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his wall following a con-versation about anarchy and punk. Unbeknown to Cobain, she meant he reeked of then girlfriend Tobi Vail, who wore ‘Teen Spirit’ deodorant – a product aimed at American girls with sparkly teeth and purdy hair; not exactly Nirvana’s tar-get audience…rock ‘n roll history was changed, forever.

a true piece of ART: Chicks on Speed: It’s a project

Chicks on Speed (COS) are a band, a clothing label, a website, a record label, a design team, and a 21st-century phenomenon. This, their fi rst publication, aims to capture their sense of freedom and spontaneity. With Each page crafted and designed in their own handwriting, this book approximates a COS scrapbook, full of press clippings, per-sonal mementos, printed ephemera, and free merchandise. Chicks on Speed (COS) are Melissa Logan (from New York), Kiki Moorse (Munich), and Alex Murray-Leslie (Bow-ral, Australia). The three members of COS met at art school in Munich and then moved to Berlin, where they reinvented themselves as Chicks on Speed, an all-girl collective. From providing raunchy, cover-version soundtrack to parties and gigs, to customising visitor’s clothing at exhibitions (Fon-dation Cartier), to posing with Karl Lagerfeld for the cover of their latest album, the Chicks have invaded the worlds of fashion and music with their endearing do-it-yourself aesthetic and good-time vibe....The whole look, concept and execution are immaculate...A true piece of art.

art+TALKwith Lance Atkinson Mildura Arts Centre recently unveiled its latest exhibition, ‘Silent Reconciliation’, a survey exhibition of the works of Lance At-kinson. ‘Silent Reconciliation’ is a collection of more than 30 works drawn from private, corporate and public collections. This ex-hibition not only affords the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate Lance’s work to date, but also to provide a foundation plat-form for this local artist to achieve broader recognition. The balanced aesthetic melding of culturally diverse symbolisms in the work entices the viewer to refl ect on how an enduring cultural harmony might be achieved in our society. Concurrent to this thought is the plea for harmonious existence between humanity and nature. This is the fi rst in an ongoing series of sur-vey exhibitions developed by Mildura Arts Centre to celebrate the journeys of artists from the Murray Darling region.

DAVID FRAZER’S work refl ects on the quiet iconic images that make the landscape intrin-sically Australian. The parked caravan, the man swinging from the hills hoist and the lonely building on the hill all remind us of moments in our own lives, and of towns that we have driven through. Somber, romantic and hon-est David weaves a story into every image. David grew up in rural Victoria between Murtoa and Rosebud, after many years in Melbourne he now lives in Castlemaine. His story is a universal one of the dialectic of building and destroying. It is of the search for love and happiness confl icting with the need to escape responsibility. David prefers the me-dium of wood engraving as he feels that it is the closest visual process to writing a song. Each intimate image is fi lled with intricate detail and reveals the personality of the landscape, dog or human. The prints are romantic and a little sentimental and their small size creates an immediate connection with the viewer. He feels that this narrative continues throughout each print. Through his prints, David cap-tures a fl eeting moment, he is aware that we are in a time of change and that so much is disappearing yet he fi nds solace in isolation - in those quiet moments when his connec-tion with the landscape is at once symbiotic and incongruous.Frazer's art is like a song, it stays in your head and heart long after you've walked away.

The results: Radiohead and Jeff Buckley scored the most entries; four each. Michael Jackson was rating highly, but his death ensured a second entry. Bon Iver is the newest artist, with ‘Skinny Love’. Eight #1’s in previous polls re-appeared including songs from Kings Of Leon, Muse, and Franz Ferdi-nand, and 11 songs from the fi rst Hottest 100 reappeared 20

years on. But ultimately it was Nirvana taking it out with their soundtrack to the 1990’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. A song that revolutionised music. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ began life as a Pixies pastiche and grew to embody the im-potent rage of a generation. A tidal wave of incendiary riffs and Kurt’s coruscating rasp, it catapulted Nevermind to the top of charts around the world before ultimately becoming a millstone around the singer’s neck, often dropped from sets or performed discordantly. Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna once spray-painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his wall following a con-versation about anarchy and punk. Unbeknown to Cobain, she meant he reeked of then girlfriend Tobi Vail, who wore ‘Teen Spirit’ deodorant – a product aimed at American girls with sparkly teeth and purdy hair; not exactly Nirvana’s tar-get audience…rock ‘n roll history was changed, forever.

a true piece of ART: Chicks on Speed: Its a project

Chicks on Speed (COS) are a band, a clothing label, a website, a record label, a design team, and a 21st-century phenomenon. This, their fi rst publication, aims to capture their sense of freedom and spontaneity. With Each page crafted and designed in their own handwriting, this book approximates a COS scrapbook, full of press clippings, per-sonal mementos, printed ephemera, and free merchandise. Chicks on Speed (COS) are Melissa Logan (from New York), Kiki Moorse (Munich), and Alex Murray-Leslie (Bow-ral, Australia). The three members of COS met at art school in Munich and then moved to Berlin, where they reinvented themselves as Chicks on Speed, an all-girl collective. From providing raunchy, cover-version soundtrack to parties and gigs, to customising visitor’s clothing at exhibitions (Fon-dation Cartier), to posing with Karl Lagerfeld for the cover of their latest album, the Chicks have invaded the worlds of fashion and music with their endearing do-it-yourself aesthetic and good-time vibe....The whole look, concept and execution are immaculate...A true piece of art.

art+TALKwith Lance Atkinson Mildura Arts Centre recently unveiled its latest exhibition, ‘Silent Reconciliatio’n, a survey exhibition of the works of Lance At-kinson. ‘Silent Reconciliation’ is a collection of more than 30 works drawn from private, corporate and public collections. This ex-hibition not only affords the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate Lance’s work to date, but also to provide a foundation plat-form for this local artist to achieve broader recognition. The balanced aesthetic melding of culturally diverse symbolisms in the work entices the viewer to refl ect on how an enduring cultural harmony might be achieved in our society. Concurrent to this thought is the plea for harmonious existence between humanity and nature. This is the fi rst in an ongoing series of sur-vey exhibitions developed by Mildura Arts Centre to celebrate the journeys of artists from the Murray Darling region.

DAVID FRAZER’S work refl ects on the quiet iconic images that make the landscape intrin-sically Australian. The parked caravan, the man swinging from the hills hoist and the lonely building on the hill all remind us of moments in our own lives, and of towns that we have driven through. Somber, romantic and hon-est David weaves a story into every image. David grew up in rural Victoria between Murtoa and Rosebud, after many years in Melbourne he now lives in Castlemaine. His story is a universal one of the dialectic of building and destroying. It is of the search for love and happiness confl icting with the need to escape responsibility. David prefers the me-dium of wood engraving as he feels that it is the closest visual process to writing a song. Each intimate image is fi lled with intricate detail and reveals the personality of the landscape, dog or human. The prints are romantic and a little sentimental and their small size creates an immediate connection with the viewer. He feels that this narrative continues throughout each print. Through his prints, David cap-tures a fl eeting moment, he is aware that we are in a time of change and that so much is disappearing yet he fi nds solace in isolation - in those quiet moments when his connec-tion with the landscape is at once symbiotic and incongruous.Frazer's art is like a song, it stays in your head and heart long after you've walked away.

Graeme Roper joins the ProfessionalsRoccisano Property Group principal, Mr Tony Roccisano is excited to announce that they have been fortunate to secure the services of Mr Graeme Roper. Graeme has had over 25 years experience in the local real estate industry and is respected by hundreds of past clients for his integrity, attention to detail and vast knowledge accumulated during this time.

Graeme is married to Maria, has 3 children and 5 grandchildren who are all the “highlight of his life”. Graeme’s interests include, woodwork, motor racing, reading, quality time with family, good friends, and travel.

Graeme looks forward to continuing his relationship with all past cli-ents, and is keen to offer his professional service to any future clients requiring a real estate sales person with a no nonsense, considerate, and personal approach. With the attitude that your home purchase, or sale will most likely be the most signifi cant and expensive decision you will ever make, it is important to secure the services of an agent who understands the current market, your personal circumstances and the ability to “make it happen”.

Graeme said: With all the above in mind it was easy to make the decision to move to Roccisano Property Group. Their reputation, plus an involvement with the “Professionals” with whom I have worked previously, gives me the opportunity to offer service over and above other agencies, the extensive benefi ts fl owing on to my clients. The “Professionals” continually strive to make their excellent reputation and service even better.

Since commencing with us Graeme has achieved several sales, which has depleted his listings. If you are considering selling, or buying call Graeme on 0429 824 008 now to take advantage of the quality service you deserve. “If Graeme does not have your home listed, he can’t sell it.”

7/8/09 - Mildura Weekly 19 Home Buyers Guide

The multi-vendor clearing sale organised and

conducted by Sunraysia’s leading auctioneer’s

Stockdale & Leggo on Saturday July 18th was a

resounding success.

Over 700 lots went under the hammer in the old

Cottee’s Building on the Corner of Tenth Street and

Pine Avenue with some 230 people registered. Selling

commenced at 10.00am and concluded around

3.00pm in the afternoon.

Stockdale & Leggo, Principal and Auctioneer Ashley

Burns said after the auction “We are over the moon

with the outcome and just shows that the Sunraysia

people will support those companies trying new ideas

and are out having a go. The idea has been a passion

of mine for sometime and the perfect opportunity

arose recently.”

“Our company had recently sold homes for 3

different deceased estates in Mildura all of which had

furniture and sundries surplus to the families needs.

Rather than have three small sales on the property

we decided to centrally locate the chattels, invite

outside entries and put it all together in one giant sale

and this is the result.”

Antique furniture, garaganalia, collectables, power

tools, workshop equipment, motor vehicles, trailers,

household furniture and numerous sundries all went

under the hammer in an orderly fashion and in front

of a huge crowd. Ashley added “A professionally

organised and well run clearing auction is almost a

forgotten art but I’m proud to say our staff put on a

great showing on Saturday and showed this most

popular pastime for many is still alive and well in

Sunraysia.”

Due to the overall result and demand for this

type of sale Stockdale & Leggo are delighted to

announce the next Multi Vendor Clearing Auction is

booked for Saturday 19th September with full details

to follow. Entries are invited and can be organised

by contacting Ashley Burns on 0408 618 294 or

ashley@stockdaleleggomildura.com.

Price guides on property advertisements

In discussing the prices used in advertisements it is important to understand the laws governing price representation. Firstly it is not illegal for a property to sell for more than the price or range quoted in advertising, whilst this is commonly referred to as underquoting it is not. The purpose of an auction is to achieve the highest and best price for the vendor on the day and this is influenced by the features of the property and the level of interest by potential buyers. On 1 February 2004 new laws were introduced which make it illegal for an estate agent to deliberately underquote to potential purchasers or overquote to vendors. Price advertising is also governed by the Trade Practices and Fair Trading Acts. Since late 2007 estate agents have also been advised that Consumer Affairs Victoria consider some advertising methods such as price plus as potentially misleading. The REIV advises its members that when they are providing a price guide they should comply with both the law and the CAV guidelines and should also provide potential purchasers with some recent sales information.

In a fast moving market it’s no surprise to see the sale price exceed the advertised price or range, indeed given the overall economic climate the fact that the purchasing public is confident is a pleasant surprise to all. Just have a look at the REIV June quarter medians in this paper to see how unpredictable and volatile the market has been. It’s also incumbent on an estate agent to change the advertised price if it no longer reflects the asking price of the vendor. This occurs when a vendor advises their agent they will not accept a certain price or the vendor considers and rejects a genuine offer in excess of the base of the advertised range. Whilst there has been a lot of media attention given to this topic the facts are that there have been very few prosecutions and CAV continually monitors auctions. The REIV has asked the Minister for Consumer Affairs to consider banning price plus advertising, if he agrees to that, the change should improve the issue of price advertising.

INVEST IN SOME ADVICE SAYS FIRST NATIONAL

As investors return to the property market, Collie & Tierney First National Real Estate, Principal, Robert J Stephens, says wise investing which maximises returns on investment requires research and patience as well as expert advice. “The property market has turned a corner and for as long as property remains undervalued and offers strong yields, it will continue to outperform many, if not most, other asset classes, making it an attractive option for investors,” Robert, said. “The key is to buy well by talking to people who know the industry and the Sunraysia area, and to make sure the property is the right one and is being bought at the right time. “Property can yield great returns when it is bought as part of a long term investment strategy and residential property is the highest performing asset class over the last two decades, returning nearly 12 per cent in the 20 years to September 2008. “Current property conditions came about as a result of an almost perfect storm for investors which has produced low prices, rates at their lowest levels for decades and affordability at its best for more than a decade.” Robert advised investors to take their time and make sure the right location has been selected by considering factors which will impact price growth in each area, such as demand and supply.“Across Australia there is a shortage of supply and that is no different for the Sunraysia region.“This is keeping vacancy rates low at less than 1% which is then driving very strong rental growth.”Another tip from Robert is not to overcapitalize when trying to rent or sell the investment property. “An investor can make their property look more upmarket without spending a fortune by giving the property a fresh coat of paint and fixing up unsightly cracks for a smooth, pristine look and finish,” Robert said.“They can also obtain other tips about presentation on

the firstnational.com.au website.” But the best piece of advice offered is to build a relationship with a local real estate agent who has vast experience and information on the property industry as well as property values in the region, trends and local knowledge. “First National Real Estate agents have first hand in-depth experience of what is going on in that area,” Robert said.“In addition, as a network we use the latest technology and innovations to keep clients informed about what is happening in local areas, including a website that allows the user to search for a property anywhere in Australia.“We have products that have the ability to generate meaningful market intelligence reports, communicate more effectively with client databases and streamline property management processes for improved efficiency.“Plus, we recently revamped our website to make property searches easier, and matching of local agents with expertise as well as incorporating web-videos to tap into the YouTube generation. Spearheading the network’s service and information technology is its Utopia system.Utopia helps agents more rapidly match buyers to properties for sale and automatically keeps buyers informed about new listings in their area of choice, using SMS, MMS and email communication modes.“The beauty of Utopia is that it enables customers to input their wish-list directly to our website and it serves tenants and home buyers equally,” Robert said.“In this way, the moment a new sale or rental property becomes available, Utopia matches interested parties and sends them an email or even posts a letter.”“It is this type of service, knowledge and experience that keeps clients coming back to us, secure in the knowledge that their property investment is safe with us.”

Search for next country music starDOZENS of singers from the Mildura region have starred at the famous Tam-worth Country Music Festival over the years, and organisers are now on the lookout for the next rising star. Organisers this week invited entries from Sunraysia, and other regional centres, for the Telstra ‘Road to Tamworth’ country music talent search…with the good news that one of the heats will be held in Sunraysia.It has also been announced that Golden Guitar winners The McClymonts are Tamworth’s latest ambassadors. The McClymonts…Brooke, Sam and Mollie, have won a Golden Guitar ‘Group/Duo’ for the last three years, and have signed up again for this year’s program. Country music stalwarts say they fi t the bill perfectly as mentors, having gone through the talent quest circuit themselves before ending up as a star attraction with many great hit singles and albums. Mollie McClymont was a grand fi nalist in the Telstra ‘Road to Tamworth’ in 2005 and 2006. Tamworth and Telstra have invited Mildura district songwriters to enter this year, with the good news that they no longer have to be a performing singer/songwriter to enter (previously, entrants had to perform their tracks at the heat). People living in isolated areas can also enter a ‘digital online’ heat, giving aspiring musicians right across Australia a chance at fame and fortune. All heat winners and the three best songwriters will be brought to Sydney for ‘Boot Camp,’ a three-day music development workshop that incorporates music partners in vocal training, songwriting sessions, experience with a full band, styling, media training and interview tips. The top eight performers and two songwriters will be awarded $1000, along with an invitation to contest the fi nal at Tamworth next January. The performer category winner will get the opportunity to record in Nashville as part of a return paid trip. A second trip to Nashville will be awarded to the best songwriter, who will be given the chance to work with some of Nashville’s leading songwriters. The nearest heat for budding Mildura singer/songwriters will be on Saturday, November 28 at the Coomealla Memorial Club. Songwriter entries close on No-vember 1, and digital heat entries close on November 15.Full details on the competition, and how to enter, can be obtained on the website www.telstra.com/beinvolved

All about ArtbackSOMETIMES, things have so many facets that it can be hard to fi nd a simple category in which to place them.

Suffi ce to say the Hederics’ family ‘Artback Australia’ venture in Wentworth has many facets, and the people involved, many talents.

To place the venture squarely in the art category could, at fi rst, seem logical. After all, the principals, Steve, Anne and Sally are all artists in their own right – Steve known for his skill in a number of mediums including charcoal and paint, Anne for her work with textiles, and Sally is a contemporary dancer who often performs overseas with company ‘Strange Fruit’.

All are also teachers, hosting class-es in their chosen techniques, while Steve also works with students at the Wentworth and Pomona Primary Schools and runs a weekly drawing class on a Wednesday night from 7pm to 9pm at Artback.

In the recent past, Steve and Anne have also worked with the East End Com-munity House to create colourful Mardi Gras fl oats, the Red Cliffs Players for sets and costumes, while Sally teaches contem-porary dance at the Mildura Ballet Guild.

Steve is also working with the Mer-bein Historical Society to create murals to mark that town’s upcoming centenary.

The Artback Gallery, studio and Cafe on the corner of Wentworth’s Adelaide and Darling Streets, showcases the work of the Hederics’ as well as other members of the ‘Artback family’.

“That is how we like to see ourselves,” Anne says, “As a family.”

“We like to think of our art as inclu-sive, not exclusive, and as our way of life... teaching and learning at the same time. It is our personal development.

“We get a lot of enjoyment through being creative and we want to share that with others.”

The family continues to forge links with its adopted community of Wentworth, with strong sup-port for Artback coming from the township; those living further afi eld on the Victorian side of Sunraysia, and an increasing number visitors to the area.

The family sees its way forward as developing all facets of its venture. They intend to keep working with their Artback artists to develop the gallery; to continue teaching to foster the growth of a larger arts community in Sunraysia; and to en-courage the people to use their cafe as a meeting point for arts and a centre for arts discussion, as well as developing their in-novative eatery.

“Our approach to the service of food and its presentation is certainly infl uenced by our life as artists and by our family. Steve

is from Hungary so some of our food has a distinctly European infl uence.”

“Although it is a business, we like to think of the cafe as sharing our home with our friends.”

If you haven’t visited Artback Australia yet, take a leisurely drive to Wentworth and check it out for yourself. Take a look inside and get amongst the artwork with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or a light lunch from a menu that changes with the seasons.

Artback Gallery and Cafe is also a dynamic and interesting place for a wedding, a party, or business meeting. Artback can cater to your every need and offers a really different environ-ment for anyone looking to hold any sort of special event.

The Artback Australia Gallery and Cafe is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 11am to 4pm, or out-side these hours by appointment.

Upcoming classes and workshops: • Steve Hederics. ‘The trees of Thegoa

Lagoon’. Just a few minutes drive from Art-back, Thegoa Lagoon will be the site for an afternoon of large scale drawing with charcoal as the medium. Easels, boards and all materials supplied.

• Anne Hederics. ‘Felting – Making and creating’. Flat and 3-D felting tech-niques can open up a range of creative possibilities. All materials supplied for small experimental pieces.

Both workshops are from 1pm to 4pm, Saturday, August 22, 2009 and the cost is $60 per person, including after-noon tea and all materials.

The workshops are suitable for begin-ners through to advanced practitioners.

Bookings essential as places are lim-ited. Telephone 0407 893 485 or 5027 2298.

SUNNYSIDEArthor: Glen David GoldPaperbackSunnyside opens on a winter day in 1916 during which Charlie Chaplin is spotted in more than eight hundred places simultaneously, an extraordinary delusion that forever binds the overlapping fortunes of three men: Leland Wheeler, son of the world’s last (and worst) Wild West star, as he fi nds unexpected love on the battlefi elds of France; Hugo Black, drafted to fi ght under the towering General Edmund Ironside in America’s doomed expedition against the Bolsheviks; and Chaplin himself, as he faces a tightening vise of complications studio moguls, questions about his patriotism, his unchecked heart, and, most menacing of all, his mother.

CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC PG Mild coarse language

Starring: Running Time: 105minsMega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings this fi lm, based on the popular Shophaolic series of novels by UK author Madeleine Wickham, to life. The story follows a compulsive shopper up to her neck in debt who ironically becomes a fi nancial advice columnist and ends up falling in love with her editor, that is until the ugly truth is revealed on television and she is forced to change her ways.

SUNNYSIDEArthor: Glen David GoldPaperbackSunnyside opens on a winter day in 1916 during which Charlie Chaplin is spotted in more than eight hundred places simultaneously, an extraordinary delusion that forever binds the overlapping fortunes of three men: Leland Wheeler, son of the world’s last (and worst) Wild West star, as he fi nds unexpected love on the battlefi elds of France; Hugo Black, drafted to fi ght under the towering General Edmund Ironside in America’s doomed expedition against the Bolsheviks; and Chaplin himself, as he faces a tightening vise of complications studio moguls, questions about his patriotism, his unchecked heart, and, most menacing of all, his mother.

with Stefano de Pieriw i n e talkWe’ll drink to that…

THIS month I want to talk about beer, prompted by the news that Fosters has re-leased several thousand magnums of a pre-mium Crown destined for the cellar. The brewer believes that his special batch has the capacity to age for up to nine years. Apparently the magnums, priced around $70, are ‘fl ying’ out the door as collectors scramble to secure one or more of the pre-cious bottles. I like the idea of special brews to relieve us from the monotony of the same products year in, year out. The marketers also have good rea-sons to introduce variety: they know that in today’s market one has to keep ahead of the game, as new generations of drinkers are not so rusted on in perpetu-ity on a single brand. Fosters, the beer giant, has itself secured distribution or manu-facturing rights for many diverse beers of local and imported prov-enance to keep a strong share of a very competitive, global mar-ket. Assisting beer giants in retain-ing strong market share, within which they can relatively safely conduct experiments, are a couple of tax measures that the Federal Government has kept in place. Whereas the tax on wine (29 percent) can be claimed back on a certain percentage of total sales, securing a small but vital in-come for small wineries, no such benefi t is available to breweries, big or small. Wineries are said to be vital to the tour-ism landscape. Tax them in full and many would go out of business. The stratagem of allowing some of the wet tax to be claimed ensures that many boutique operations re-main viable. I applaud the government for this mea-

sure, but I should think that, as the saying goes, what is good for the geese is good for the gander. In other words, bona-fi de bou-tique breweries, those with equipment and permanent staff, should be afforded the same benefi t. After all, they too play an important role in regional, provincial tourism. In order not to open the fl oodgate and turn the benefi t into a farce, I think that those who have beer brewed by another party

should be excluded. Wineries have land and equipment, however small, and that is what makes them genuine businesses. The other advantage that large breweries have at the moment is that beer excise on a 50 litre keg is the same as it would be on a 30 litre keg. This lack of fl exibility is keep-ing a lot of small operators out of the keg opportunities: it is simply too expensive to get a 30 litre keg if you are paying as much as getting a 50 litre one. And manufacturers are not going to fabri-cate 30 litre kegs – they have indeed trialled them, disposable ones too – if there is no demand for them. That is a classic chicken

and egg argument. Small brewers, catering for a curious, ever changing palate, would do well with a little tax relief and the fl exibility of a 30 litre or even 5 litre kegs. I wonder what the Compe-tition Commission has to say about this. Ev-eryone abhors excessive regulation and talk of free market abounds – until the interests of the big guys are affected. Here in Mildura we have a gem of a brew-

ery, in which I am proud to play a small part. It not only creates several full time jobs and trains young people in the art of brewing, but it also makes some terrifi c, genuine, chemical free beers. Sure, boutique beers are not for every-one’s palate, but they stand up to scrutiny very well next to their peers.These beers were designed to tell stories about the region – like the strong Mallee Bull, which is a ripper with a steak, or the delicate, fl oral and cleansing Mur-ray Honey Wheat, a refreshing beer with just a hint of our local citrus honey. And not to mention the Sun Light, which has surprised many with its ability to actually taste like a real beer. A lot of investment, trials, errors and tribulations are involved in establishing a

local, independent brewery with a fully inte-grated bottling line. There is satisfaction too, especially when the bottles are in store at Dan Murphy’s nationally, and in many other establishments around the country. I sincerely hope that local beer drinkers who have not tried their local beers give them a go next time when they are looking at something new and different.Mildura spends about $20 million a year on beer, understandably on price driven tradi-tional brands, but many enjoy beers of other provenance, without looking at their own backyard. I urge them to think local.

MILDURA’S Seasons and The new Spanish Bar and Grill has again been voted the best Steak Restaurant in Victoria, repeating its success of 2007. Restaurateurs Mandy and Andy Williams were on hand with head chef Ashley Allford and restaurant manager Helen Dark to receive the award in Melbourne earlier this week. “We are simply over the moon,” Mandy said. “The award demonstrates that we are committed and passionate about our restaurants, service standards, menus, personnel training and branding recognition for the region.” Andy acknowledged the importance of local spe-cialty butchers Naz Tassone of Wintersun Butchery and Munro’s Meat in Ouyen. “Being in a position to win this award starts with great fresh product, and for a steak restaurant that means our two butchers who consistently supply the very best, of grass and grain fed beef,” he said. “We couldn’t meet such high stan-dards without their expertise.” Now in its 11th year, the independently and secretly judged Restaurant and Catering Awards for Excel-lence is the biggest event on the Victorian hospitality industry calendar. The judging system is designed to mimic the dining experience of customers, focusing on areas that make a difference. The system ranks more than 50 individual criteria which span the entire dining experience, from booking through to service and beyond. “I see the restaurant industry much like a theatrical stage performance,”Mandy said. “So much can go on behind the scenes, but once the curtain is lifted you are on show…and that show must be perfect, the show must be memorable, and the show must go on.” Each entrant receives tailored descriptive feedback that hones in on the areas where the restaurant ex-cels, and where there is room for improvement. “In entering awards of this kind we put our restaurants out there to see how they measure up to the best in the state,” Mandy said. “We feel this is important for our team. The process provides excellent bench mark-ing opportunities, drives and motivates the team and delivers real and useful tools for ongoing development and improvement.” Mandy and Andy, who have lifelong family ties to the region, took over the restaurant three years ago, have a passion for the district and its hospitality industry, and say they are committed to helping make Mildura the leading food and wine destination in Victoria. The new Spanish Bar and Grill has other major awards to its name, including 2008 Business Cham-pion award, medium to large business of the year and best hospitality business of 2008, and will now be considered for the national Savour Awards for Excel-lence.

Grilled, but welldone for rare pair

Stefano’s Preservesby Lyndall Vandenberg

A recent stint at the Sunraysia Farmers Market gave

me a lot of inspiration for this month’s recipes as well

as a car loaded with food! My fellow stallholders and

I braved the cold, frosty morning to offer our com-

munity and visitors some very fi ne local produce. I

haven’t participated at the market for some time and

I was pretty excited to be welcomed back by so many

friends. My children, Henry and Claire, love going, and

I usually watch the proceeds of my sales going from

their pockets to the pancake man or the cupcake ladies.

They are also very eager participants at the market and

volunteer their efforts to help out other stallholders.

Winter vegetables are at their absolute best right now and the Sunraysia Farmers Market creates the ideal environment to meet the producers and learn more about their methods while having the opportunity to purchase the food at its peak of freshness and fl avour.

The following recipes form part of a collection that I’m working toward to showcase the versatility of the Stefano’s Preserves range. I want to create beautiful products that taste great but have multiple uses and don’t just sit on the condiment shelf in the fridge. My aim is to inspire home cooks to think about all the dif-ferent ways to use them. Basically, I want to extend my kitchen to yours.

MyKitchenLyndall Vandenberg is the co-founder of Stefano’s Preserves in Mildura. The distribution of Stefano’s Preserves extends to fi ve Australian States and David Jones food halls.

Pork � llet with warm chickpea and spinach saladThis is a very simple recipe, and it looks impressive when served at the table on a platter. The fl avour combination of cumin, coriander, garlic and peppercorns found in the curry paste are a good complement to the richness of the pork.

Ingredientsserves 4• 750g pork fi llet• 2 tsp Stefano’s Preserves Yellow Curry Paste• 2 cups cooked chickpeas• 4 cups spinach, chopped• 6 shallots, sliced• 1 bunch of fresh basil leaves • olive oil• 1 lemon • salt and pepper

For the pork- Combine the curry paste and pork together in a bowl, cover and set aside to marinate for a few hours or over-night. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Place the pork in the pan and brown on all sides taking care to turn the pork to each side once only. Cover the pan with a lid, turn the heat down and cook for a further 10-12 minutes. Remove the pork and rest on a plate for a few minutes before slicing into 5cm wide medallions. For the salad-Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a fresh frying pan. Add the shallots, stir, and then cook until softened. Add the chickpeas, spinach, basil leaves, salt and pepper. Using a pair of tongs, lift and stir the ingredients to allow for even cooking.

Serve the pork nestled on the salad with wedges of lemon.

Veal with preserved lemons, whitewine and Jerusalem artichokesThe combination of the slow cooked veal, preserved lemons and white wine reveals a surprisingly tasty meal which per-fectly matches the wonderful nutty fl avour of the artichokes.

Ingredientsserves 6• 1.5 kg veal ossobuco• 1 large onion, peeled and diced• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped• 2 carrots, peeled and diced• 2 stalks celery, chopped • 3 tlb plain fl our, spread on a plate or on wax paper• 500ml dry white wine• 300ml chicken stock• 3-4 sprigs thyme• 1 whole piece Stefano’s Preserves Preserved Lemons• Salt and pepper to season• Olive oil• 500g Jerusalem artichokes

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Choose a heavy casserole with a tight fi tting lid that is large enough to place the veal in a single layer.Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in the casserole. Put in the onion, and cook until translucent. Then, add the garlic, carrots and celery. Cook for 10 minutes then add the preserved lemon and thyme. Remove from the casserole and set aside.Heat four tablespoons olive oil in the same casserole. Turn the pieces of veal in the fl our, shaking off any excess. When the oil is quite hot, brown the veal on all sides. Remove the veal from the pan and set aside. Add the wine, bring it to a boil and reduce by half. Next, add the chicken stock plus salt and pepper to season. Stand the veal side by side on in the bottom of the casserole then pour over the vegetables. Cover with the lid, return to a boil then place the casserole into the oven. Bake undisturbed for two hours. When cooked, the meat should fall away from the bone. For the artichokes, toss the unpeeled vegetable in a little olive oil then bake for about one hour.*If the sauce is too runny, place the casserole on the stove top and remove the veal. Over medium to high heat, cook the sauce down until it begins to thicken. Return the veal to the pan to reheat then serve with the baked artichokes.

Stefano’s Preservesby Lyndall Vandenberg

Lyndall Vandenberg is the classic quiet achiever. A zealous foodie,

Lyndall was working backstage at Stefano’s Cafe & Bakery in

Mildura at the height of its notoriety as one of the best regional

offerings in Victoria. Seeing all the incredible produce come

through the kitchen, she wanted to create an opportunity

to showcase it more broadly. Lyndall approached friend and

colleague, cook Stefano de Pieri and his partner in business and

life Donata Carrazza, who shared a common passion for food

and the region. And voila! Stefano’s Preserves was born.

In the first month, Lyndall produced just 20 jars. Now, some

50,000 jars are made each year, all still in small batches, and all

from the same humble kitchen with two stoves, one combi oven

and some pretty decent sized pots. Not to mention a decent

helping of laughter and passion. We thought it was about time

she came out from behind the stove!

Lyndall strives to opitimise the availability of the seasonal produce

and explore new flavor combinations, creating amazing jars

bursting with colour, flavour, texture and goodness! Featuring

relishes, chutneys, antipasto, preserves, sauces, jams and now

asian pastes, each bears the Stefano’s stamp of approval -

a mythical creature, part fish, part bird - that reflects the nature

of the Murray River ecosystem.

Lyndall values the strong bond between supplier and producer,

and her relationship with local growers feed in her an important

sense of community. Lyndall ventures out to the local paddocks

and orchards to see what’s looking good and tasting great,

ensuring the produce is harvested at their peak of freshness and

flavor. With her 4WD loaded with buckets of goodies, she heads

straight back to her kitchen to hand make her lines in small

batches, with no additives or preservatives in sight. It’s a process

and a philosophy that ensures her products are made with the

greatest integrity.

Lyndall and her cracker-jack ladies Monique Hockley and Julia

Russ (the women behind the woman behind the man behind

the label!) are busy all year round, always looking to opitimise

the availability of seasonal produce and explore new flavour

combinations.

“I want to create beautiful products that taste great, but have multiple uses. Products that don’t just sit on the condiment shelf in the fridge, but inspire home cooks to think about all the different ways to use them. Basically, I want to extend my kitchen to yours.”

WHEN Samantha Adams married Stewart Falconer earlier this year there was a touch of ‘All the Rivers Run’.While the couple was married at St Margaret’s

Anglican Church, the reception for their 80 guests was held on the paddleboat ‘Mundoo’.

Standing by the groom were best man Torsten Riedel and Tim Bourke, and by the bride Vanessa Jellis and

Danielle Grant. The page boys was William McLean, the couple’s nephew, while their son, Caeden Fal-

coner, was the ring bearer. Ashleigh McLean, the cou-ple’s niece, was fl owergirl. The couple was thrilled

with their special day, thanking these local businesses for their assistance: photographs Kim Chamberlain, Kim’s Weddings; hair – Raffl es Hair Design; bridal party jewellery – Carla Jane; rings – Hammerton’s Jewellers; fl owers – Gwen Wilkinson; bride’s dress purchased overseas and taken in and adjusted by Val Leake; bridesmaids’ dresses – Alfred Angelo Designs from Mildura Wedding Boutique and the groom and

groomsmen’s suits – Roger David. The couple honey-mooned at Port Douglas, in Queensland.

CouncilNotices

The Fed Cup tie held in Mildura in April had an economic impact for our region of more than half a million dollars.

Not only did it provide a financial benefit, but great media exposure outside the region and world class tennis at our doorstep. The tie also gave Mildura the opportunity to showcase its outstanding grass courts and ability to put on an international event.

Steve Ayles, Tennis Australia’s Manager of Major Events said “Mildura hosted a most successful Fed Cup, not only were the courts in sensational condition, but the ticket sales exceeded many other Fed Cup ties and the people of Mildura made this international tennis event such a memorable occasion for all.”

Portfolio Councillor for Sports Events, Cr John Arnold said that whilst Council played an important role in securing the tie and providing event management support, the enormous feat couldn’t have been achieved without the support of all the local partners.

“All of our partners dedicated time, money and expertise to make the Fed Cup tie between Australia and Switzerland a reality and a success,” said Cr Arnold.

Mildura Lawn Tennis Club went to great lengths to ensure the facilities and courts were in tip-top condition for international competition.

Mildura Development Corporation provided significant funding towards the event to assist in the stimulation of the local economy and highlight business opportunities for visitors to the region.

Mildura Tourism provided funding and tourism support.

Tourism Victoria assisted with funding and promoting the link with Mildura.

Accommodation sponsor the Quality Hotel Mildura Grand’s Simon Cox said “We were delighted to be involved with such a prestigious world-class event where we had the chance to interact and witness some of the world’s best female tennis stars in action and we would gladly do so again in the future.”

Feedback from Davison Ford, the official provider of vehicles, said they would support any future world tournaments in Mildura.

Cr Arnold said “the marvellous support and commitment of community volunteers, businesses and service clubs to the preparation, conduct and clean up of the Fed Cup tie was greatly appreciated by Council and Tennis Australia.”

“I know that I will remember Australia’s victory over Switzerland for a long time to come and seeing Sam Stosur and Jelena Dokic play on Mildura turf was a sheer delight.”

Fed Cup judged a winner

www.milduraweekly.com.au26 Mildura Weekly - 7/8/09

THEY say a week is a long time in football... just ask Red Cliffs spearhead Michael Faulkhead, who has spent the past six days sitting on 99 goals for sea-son 2009.

He will head into to-morrow’s clash against South Mildura needing just one goal to reach the ton, becoming the fi rst player since 2001 to achieve the milestone.

Faulkhead managed 2.5 in his side’s loss to Rob-invale last week, with the forward’s pin-point accu-racy seeming to evaporate

with the onset of nerves.He will be looking to

make amends this week, with the looming milestone and cementing his side a spot in the fi nals all the fo-cus the veteran will need to get back to his best.

Irymple’s Nic Coghlan is also edging closer to the ton, with his four goal ef-fort against South Mildura taking him to 87 for the season.

Irymple play the Mag-pies tomorrow at Hen-shilwood Oval, with the 19-year-old needing a big day in front of the sticks if

he is to have any chance of making the milestone a re-ality.

He kicked six against a struggling Merbein out-fi t the last time these two sides met, and will need to produce a similar perfor-mance to not only increase his chances of reaching the ton, but to also keep the Swallow’s slim fi nals hopes alive.

They currently sit fi fth on the Sunraysia Football Netball League ladder, one win behind Red Cliffs, and are mathematically still in the fi nals race.

One more goal to go for Faulkhead

ALL roads lead to Red Cliffs this Sunday, with the fi rst and second junior football semi-fi nals to be played at Quan-dong Park.

The fi rst semi-fi nal in the Under 16s competition will feature Merbein up against South Mildura, with both sides enjoying some thrilling encounters this season.

Merbein won the fi rst clash by seven points, before South reversed the result with a 14 point win later on in the season.

For South the key will be in-form forward Jason Grey, who fi nished on top of the Under 16 goal-kicking ladder with 43 goals, while the Mag-pies will look to on-ballers Josh Whitelaw and Jhy Sloan to deny Merbein fi rst crack at the footy.

‘Pies backman Brad Da-vis has done everything right in 2009, earning selection in the Victorian Schoolboys side. His drive from the back-line will give Merbein that all important run and carry, and should help the team’s rebound from defence.

Jhy Berry, Anton Robson and Josh Williams-Hicks have been amongst South Mildu-ra’s best each week, with Cal-lum Morvell also possessing a knack of breaking games apart.

This match should be a cracker, with South aiming to

take advantage of the Maggies inconsistent form. The Dogs should win, moving on to the Preliminary Final next week.

Mildura take on Imperi-als, with the green and white the only side to cause the Dees any problems this sea-son.

The winner of this one will go straight through to the Grand Final, with that stipu-lation all the incentive either side will need.

Imperials weren’t overly-impressive against the Mag-pies last week, despite a 23 point win. They could man-age only two good quarters, and can’t afford the same slow start this week against the in-form Demons.

Flag-favourites Mildura cruised to a 63 point win over Wentworth last week, with Luke Stanbrook booting fi ve goals to take his season tally to 34.

Mildura have other goal kickers in Jack Bower, Riley Chirgwin and Ben Christ-odoulou, all possessing the talent to kick a bag.

Imps coach Tony Hickey will fi nd it hard to keep those three out of the game, with Imps’ proven goal kickers Rhyse Keating, Gene Palazzo and Darby Edgeworth sure to prove troublesome for Mil-dura’s defence.

The Demons have been a class side this year, and with all their players back in time for fi nals should prove too strong for Imps.

In the Under 14s sec-ond semi-fi nal Irymple, who have not lost a game this season, should enjoy a win over Mildura, while in the fi rst semi-fi nal both Under 14 and Under 13 South Mil-dura teams should win their games against Merbein and Red Cliffs.

All of the junior fi nal series will be played at Red Cliffs this year, with gates open from 8.30am, and ad-mission $5 for adults and free for children under 16.

FOOTNOTE: All fi rst semi-fi nal games will be played at Red Cliffs’ Number 2 Oval, with the Red Cliffs Secondary College Stadium to be used as change rooms.

All second semi-fi nal matches will be played on the main Red Cliffs ground, with room allocations to be: Red Cliffs rooms: U13, U14 and U16 Mildura. Visitor’s Rooms: U13 and U14 Irym-ple, and Under 16 Imperials.

Finals fever for junior footballlittle LEGENDS

Sunraysia Junior Football League

MILDURA Pigeon Club has started its 2009 racing season with a race from Balranald, but the biggest news is going on behind the scenes.

During the off season, Club members have being busy securing sponsorship for all of their races for the coming season. As a re-sult, all races have a sponsor, a great result for the club.

There has also been more progress in the ‘equipment stakes,’ with the club installing a computer equipped with software for an elec-tronic timing system. This system automati-cally records a bird’s entry into the loft and calculates the velocity of each bird, eliminat-ing any margin of error for timing.

This season will see the club fl y 17 races, mainly in an easterly direction. These will in-clude departure points ranging from as close as Balranald to Narrabri, about 1000 kilome-tres from Mildura.

Some of the major races this season are the Gold Band race from Condoblin on Sep-tember 11, and the Breeders Plate the follow-ing week, from Forbes, a race of around 550 kilometres.

The fi rst race of the season, ‘The Rainbow Kids’ from Balranald, was taken out by club treasurer Les Tatt, with Paul Adolph and Noel

O’Neil fi lling the placings. The second race, ‘The Fuzzy Logic’ from

Balranald, was won by Paul Adolph, with Red Cliffs fl yers John Fenech and Ivan Murray running a close second, and Les Tatt fi lling third place.

In coming weeks the races begin to get longer, with races starting from Maude and Hay. These are always keenly contested, with fl yers carefully choosing their best pigeons, as one way of preparing them for more presti-gious and richer races later in the season.

Brett Lee continues his series of special reports for the Mildura Weekly… this is Week 5, and he has his sights set on making a comeback for the 4th Test on the Ashes tour of England.

They love their

cricket over here

SO far it’s been a pretty amazing cricket series. The pendulum seems to be swinging backwards and for-wards on almost a daily basis, with neither team re-ally taking the series by the scruff of the neck and in-sisting that the Ashes are theirs for the keeping.

A good example of this was the last day of the Test here at Edgbaston, where I reckon the English team walked onto the ground thinking that they were a bet-ter than even chance of taking our last eight wickets quickly and pushing forward to a series lead of 2-0.

The English fans were equally optimistic and bought up the last of the available tickets. (I must also say they are a pretty vocal lot up here in Birming-ham!)

But as it turned out, it was a great day for Aus-tralia, with all our batsmen getting among the runs, and I reckon we will head into Headingley with a real head of steam.

There is so much at stake – two games to go, with the English leading 1-0. The pressure has been building over the fi rst three Tests, and it will reach new heights over the coming weeks as players, media and fans live and breathe the results of the next two games.

I said last week that we could be end up playing one of the all-time great Ashes series, and I think this looks even more likely.

As a player, these are the situations you want to be a part of, which brings me to the issue of my own fi t-ness. My injury is feeling good and I have been bowl-ing in the nets for some time. The plan now is to get some hours in the nets, bowling at full pace, and convincing the selectors that I can play in the 4th Test if they need me.

I will be doing everything in my power to be ready – both mentally and physically - and then leave the decision in the hands of the selectors.

If I don’t make the team, I will keep my chin up and be as supportive as possible for the guys who have been asked to do the business on the fi eld.

In terms of the tour itself, it has been tough for me to relax and soak up the many great experiences and events that happen on an English tour.

I have been too focused on getting my body right and maintaining my fi tness. It’s easier if you are play-ing – at the end of each day’s play it is important to switch off, relax and get away from cricket for a few hours.

I haven’t really been doing this because I have been spending as much time as possible doing re-hab.

Anyway, we are entering an important couple of weeks. I hope they are very happy ones for all of us, fans and players alike.

Keep up the support - Brett

IT was one of those classic clashes – ‘Fitzy’ v ‘Lethal’ – and Mildura identity Peter Fitzpatrick remembers it with pride.

It was the early 1970s in Sunray-sia when Peter, a competition B Grade tennis player, beat all-time AFL legend and occasional tennis player Leigh Matthews.

Peter, on a visit recently with wife Regina to Q u e e n s l a n d ’ s Sunshine Coast, reminisced with me that Leigh was on holiday in Mildura in the early days of his long-playing career with Haw-thorn. In one torrid match for Hawthorn, Pe-ter remembers how Matthews famously gave a point post the hip and shoul-der, snapping it off near the base!

In 1990, the former Hawthorn champion coached Col-lingwood to Grand Final victory.

In Mildura, golf and tennis were on Leigh’s holiday agenda, resulting in a social match which Peter won 6-4.

Later, Leigh Raymond Mat-thews, AM, who is not given to being second best, chal-lenged Peter to a second match… and Peter recalls he again won 6-4. “Leigh bluntly said at the time ‘you must be a better player than you look’,” Peter vividly re-called.

“In fairness, I was playing each week, whereas Leigh used tennis as a means of keep-ing fi t,” Peter said.

For the record, Andrea Fitzpat-rick, eldest daughter of Peter and Regina, became a lead-

ing Victorian country player and was later a coach.

Peter is a “Collingwood for Ever” football enthusiast of 73 years. Collingwood, the team with a huge follow-

ing (this year some 45,000 Magpie fans) won an un-beaten four consecutive grand fi nals, beginning in 1927.

But one team Peter closely con-sistently watches on TV is the Brisbane Lions and was most impressed with Leigh’s brilliant coaching success of three grand fi nals in a row, beginning with victory over Essendon in 2001.

In fact, Peter may be as knowl-edgeable about the Lions’ progress as any Queen-slander.

He said there were a lot of play-ers Collingwood would love to have, in particular the Lions’ popular cap-tain Jonathan Brown, the star full-forward, high rate marker and goal-kicker.

“But Jonathan is very loyal to the Lions and good luck to

him – from my perspective, the Lions are one of Col-lingwood’s biggest worries this season,” Peter said.

Peter is very impressed with Michael Voss both as a de-termined, elite player and now as coach of the Lions coach.

“I think Vossie has a great foot-ball career ahead, maybe even as a coach for another team in the future. In ad-dition to his playing and coaching skills, his media

work is excellent which makes a winning combina-tion from an AFL perspec-tive,” Peter said.

Travelling north through NSW into Queensland with their caravan, Peter and Regina have had to regularly check local TV guides to catch an AFL match.

According to this keen Victo-rian supporter, it’s just not tennis when all telecasts concentrate on League, rather than AFL matches.

The day ‘Lethal’bit the dust…

Former Mildura journalist JOHN JENNINGS recalls an action-packed match – with a great result.

NOT-SO-LETHAL: Mildura’s Peter Fitzpatrick, ABOVE, proved • more than a match for the legendary Leigh Matthews, INSET.

SUNRAYSIA has a new name to add to the ever growing list of top tier motorsport competitors making a name for themselves on the national stage.

Fifteen-year-old off-road mo-torcycle racer Nathan Trigg is well known in local racing circles. He’s been the dominant force in his age group for several years in all forms of off-road racing - motocross, dirt track and enduro.

But the Trigg name is now be-coming increasingly prevalent at the top of State and national dirt track and motocross events.

His most recent results - two class wins in this year’s Victorian Junior Motocross Championships, which concluded last month, have cemented his place among the lead-ing junior riders in Victoria, if not the nation.

Nathan’s recent Victorian Junior Motocross Championship titles were in the 85cc/150cc Big Wheel 12 - 16 years class and the 250cc 13 - 16 years class.

Before that, he’d fi rmly estab-lished himself as one of the quickest junior dirt track riders in the coun-try, taking two top-10 fi nishes at this year’s Australian Long Track titles in New South Wales.

He took second in the 85cc/150cc Big Wheel 13 - 16 years class and sixth in the 250cc 13 - 16 years class.

It follows his second place in last year’s Australian Long Track title.

Nathan’s Long Track results are all the more impressive when you consider the majority of his competi-tors are Long Track specialists, while the Sunraysia rider balances his ef-forts between ‘track’ racing, moto-cross and enduros.

At a local level, he’s been the junior club champion at the North West Victorian Motorcycle Club for the past three years.

These are just the latest in a string of impressive results for the 15-year-old, who fi rst put a leg over

a motorcycle on the family farm near Ouyen.

He began racing at just four-years-old and almost immediately started getting results.

About three years later it became clear Nathan had the natural talent to take his racing further, and started competing at State and national lev-el. He clinched his fi rst Victorian title at nine-years-old.

Nathan’s father, Gordon (or ‘Triggy’), said his son’s racing efforts are very much a family affair.

Nathan, his parents, Gordon and Samantha, and sisters Jessica and Kaytlan travel the country together and contribute to the Trigg racing ef-fort as a close-knit family unit.

Behind the scenes, Gordon does the majority of the regular mainte-nance and preparation on Nathan’s bikes, something he takes pride, and enjoyment, in.

For the bigger tasks, Gordon said Ray Tegart of Tegart Race Tuning has worked on Nathan’s bikes for much of his racing career, while local gun Warren Smart has supported the Trigg racing effort with suspension tuning.

Looking to the future, and the 15-year-old has just one more year left before he makes the step up to the senior ranks.

Gordon said his son is already sizing up the opposition.

“He’s already getting us to time the seniors to compare his times with them,” he said.

SUNRAYSIA 8-Ball Association is once again on the rise according to Public Re-lations offi cer Rod Jones, with the 15th Annual Tri-State Carnival to be held on home soil this weekend.

Players from Broken Hill and the Riverland will descend on Sunraysia for the event, with the battle for the Tri-State Cup attracting the best players from three states.

Sunraysia will head into the tourna-ment defending champions, looking to perform well across all fi ve divisions, in-cluding the Super-league, Division One through to Three, and the women’s sec-tion.

This weekend will also mark the of-fi cial opening of the association’s new headquarters at the Irymple Hotel, the fi rst permanent home the Association has had since its formation in the 1980s.

Rod said 8-ball players were ecstatic with their new home, and grateful for the generosity Irymple Hotel management in allowing free use of the venue.

“We couldn’t be happier, or more grateful,” he said. “Finding a permanent

venue is something we’ve been trying to do for a long time.

“And now that we have one it’s an op-portunity to develop the sport, and try to get more people interested.”

Rod, a teacher at Chaffey Secondary College, said one of the organisation’s main aims was to get more young people playing 8-Ball.

“I’ve asked a few of my students whether a place where they could go and play pool on the weekends would appeal

to them,” he said. “And it’s a ques-tion that’s received positive feedback.

“ E v e n t u a l l y the Association would like to start a development program where youngsters can come and learn from the best play-ers in the district, and hopefully go on to represent the region at future carnivals.”

The Associa-tion has come a long way in the past six months, despite struggling against a growing ‘pub mentality’ surrounding the sport.

Rod said that unfortunately, in the past, some people had viewed the sport as one played mostly by “drunks,” rather than one played for fun and friendly competition.

“It’s still something we fi ght against,” he said. “There seems to be a misconcep-tion about 8-Ball, when in reality most of us play because we simply love the sport.”

Rod said that hopefully, with the es-tablishment of new headquarters, num-bers would start to grow, and possibly eclipse the glory days of the 1980s and early 90s.

He said this weekend would be an opportunity for Sunraysia players to not only try and walk away with another tournament win, but to also give locals a chance to see what the sport is truly about.

“The entire event will be open to the public,” he said. “Hopefully we can get people down to the Irymple Hotel dur-ing the next two days and build some interest.”

The Tri-State Carnival will get under-way tomorrow from 8am, with their new HQ to be offi cially opened by Associa-tion President Jason Foster before play.

The fi rst round of the carnival will see fi ve tables played simultaneously, with all fi ve divisions to be represented from 8.30am. Tournament fi nals will kick-off from 8am Sunday, with a barbecue lunch at 2pm before offi cial presentations take place.

“It’s going to be a fantastic weekend,” Rod said. “Some of the best 8-Ball players going around will take part in this tour-nament, so it’s going to be a very skillful event, and a lot of fun to watch.”

Rod said that unfortunately, in the

TWO Sunraysia competitors are near the front of the fi eld in the toughest and longest off-road event in Australia - the Australasian Safari.

The seven-day marathon event started last Sunday and is staged in Western Austra-lia’s rugged outback, taking competitors through 3600 kilometres of grueling ter-rain from Perth to Kalgoor-lie, where it will conclude on Sunday.

Safari regular, Boundary Bend’s Terry ‘Tangles’ Connor was running as high as sec-ond in the Auto (cars) section on Tuesday with his daughter, Jodi, beside him navigating for the fi rst time.

“Jodi hadn’t navigated for us until three days ago. She was the one who suggested we enter,” Terry said.

“We are getting on well, although she’s a bit worried about my eyesight, especially coming in in the dark tonight (Tuesday).”

The Boundary Bend driv-er’s performance is all the more impressive given the dis-parity between his and many of his competitors’ budgets.

“We’re doing really well, we’re working on a low bud-get,” he said.

“We came on the event with just six mud terrain tyres. We decided to buy and fi t six rock tyres yesterday (Monday) and it paid off.

“Our theory all the way is for the front runners to even-tually come back to us.”

‘Tangles’ has been racing the Australasian Safari since 1987, and is campaigning a 1995 Nissan utility against the factory-backed manufac-turer teams.

He said that despite the age of his vehicle compared to those of his competitors, it’s well suited to the rugged ter-rain the event is raced over.

“The conditions suit us because our car is probably tougher than the others. We have beam axles, not inde-pendent suspension, which

can make a difference in the rough,” Terry said. He and his daughter started the event 13th based on the prologue.

By the end of the fi rst competitive day last Sunday he had fought his way up to seventh. He maintained his charge through the fi eld on Monday and Tuesday, climb-ing to third and then second.

He slipped back to third overall on Wednesday before the beginning of yesterday’s stages, which are among the toughest of the event.

In the Moto (motorcycle) section Sunraysia’s Tim Van-denberg is leading the charge for Sunraysia.

Vandenberg has been in scintillating form consider-ing it’s his fi rst attempt at the event.

He fi nished 20th in the prologue after losing time due to a navigational mis-hap, but clawed his way back up to 11th by the end of the fi rst day of competition.

Vandenberg fought his way to eighth on Monday and fourth on Tuesday against the very best enduro and desert riders in Australia.

He maintained his fourth position overall at the end of Wednesday’s stages.

Vandenberg isn’t the only Sunraysia rider in the fi eld. Dave Burford was in a strong 14th position after four days.

Like Vandenberg, Burford has made steady progress as the event has unfolded.

He prologued 22nd and by the end of the second day was in 18th. Two more solid days of racing saw him up to 14th position by the end of Wednesday’s stages.

While the event is un-doubtedly a tough task for both car and motorcycle competitors, riders have the

additional challenge of read-ing their handlebar-mounted maps while tackling tough terrain at race speed.

It’s a task which opens up a raft of challenges. If they don’t follow their maps closely enough they risk get-ting lost and losing time, and positions. But if they don’t concentrate on the terrain in front of them closely enough they risk falling off at race speed and injuring them-selves.

KELLY Rayner, 10, is a boy who simply loves his sport... and he’s got talent to boot!

Young Kelly is a decent hockey player, recently select-ed in the Sunraysia Under 13 hockey squad as goal-keeper, and also a keen footballer and cricketer.

However it’s cross country running where he feels most at home, with his talent on display by winning gold in the 2000 metres at the recent U/11 South Australian Cross Coun-try Championships.

The youngster said he’d felt confi dent heading into the race, after performing well at both the Mildura and District Little Athletics Association’s cross country try-outs (where

he fi nished second), and the three kilometre cross country school’s event in Melbourne.

“Before the race started I thought I’d come pretty close (to winning),” Kelly said. “I was in front the whole time, and the runner behind me started to slow down in the last 20 metres, so I knew I was go-ing to win.”

Kelly’s been a member of ‘Little Aths’ since he was eight, competing in every running event the group offers.

“I’ve always liked running, especially long-distance, it’s something I’m good at,” he said.

“I’m not sure if running is something I’ll keep doing when I’m older, because I like

playing hockey and cricket as well.

“I think I’ll keep playing as many sports as I can, and then see which one I like best.”

According to Kelly’s mum Lee, he’s always been an hyper-active kid, brimming with a never-ending stream of energy.

“I was relieved when he started running and playing every sport he could get into,” she said. “Who knows where his hyper-active nature would have led him otherwise.

“Kelly’s got natural stam-ina and endurance, and he seems to do well in every sport he trys. No matter which sport he eventually chooses I know he’ll do well.”

Kelly’s commitments to

numerous sports means he is always on the go, with training sessions a common problem for the Rayner household.

“It never stops,” Lee said. “If it’s not athletics it’s hockey or football, I honestly have no idea where he fi nds the energy to participate in so many.”

October will see Kelly’s fo-cus shift back to running, how-ever with the summer months approaching, it will be the sprint events rather than his favourite cross country.

Not that it matters to him.“I just love sport,” he said.

“It doesn’t really matter what I’m playing, as long as I’m do-ing something I like, and can have a lot of fun at the same time.”
