This Boer War memorial stands in Ballarat, but there is a strong link to Mildura. Behind it there is a story of two families from England whose sons fought for Australia before putting down roots in Mildura as pioneers. The story begins on Pages 8 & 9 today.

TRAVELLERS on the Sturt Highway between Mildura and Adelaide can expect surprise special operations police checks as part of a nationwide blitz on illegal firearms, drugs and other illegal contraband. And the recently re-named Australian Customs and Border Protection Service is also stepping up surveillance on air and sea approaches in an unprecedented attack on all forms of smuggling. Federal and State authorities are concerned at the increasing amount of illegal activity, with recently-reported smuggling cases involving native bird and animal species, drugs, firearms, pornography – and people. Authorities have labelled it a $10 billion ‘industry’ in Australia, and have stepped up the nationwide campaign against organised crime. Some recent Sturt Highway travellers had a first-hand look at how future operations will work when border protection security personnel, police and SA Department of Primary Industry fruit inspectors detained all traffic crossing from Victoria into SA for detailed vehicle searches. Eye-witnesses told of motorists being asked to exit their cars and stand clear as drug sniffer dogs went to work on luggage, clothing and other goods. Police were advising motorists not to take photographs during the searches. A Federal police spokesperson contacted by the Mildura Weekly would not reveal if anything of interest was discovered, but confirmed the surprise border

Confidence up for on-time digital switchover THERE is growing confidence the Federal Government’s timeline for the switch over to digital television in Sunraysia is achievable. The Federal Government has come under fire in recent weeks following concerns infrastructure needed to provide digital television in ‘black spot’ areas such as Ouyen, Underbool and Robinvale won’t be ready in time. Federal Member for Mallee, John Forrest, who has been a long time advocate for better television services in the more remote areas of his electorate, was one of the most vocal in his concern over the timeline. But speaking at the Digital Switchover Taskforce’s launch of the 100-Day Countdown to digital-only on Wednesday this week, Mr Forrest said he’d been given assurances the necessary technology will be in place for those areas by the June 30 deadline. “My heart is still in my mouth, which I’ve been saying for 15 months, but the minis-

signal, and there’s about 150 houses in Robinvale behind the wheat silo, but the minister’s made sure there’s solutions for all of those. “So I’m still excited. One hundred days to go. A lot of work to do, but what I want to make sure of is that people are aware of the deadline, and they’re doing something about it, and the minister’s visit here today is helping get that message across.” Senator Conroy meanwhile reiterated his assurance the timeline was achievable. “Residents in Underbool and Ouyen will be online by the deadline,” Senator Conroy said on Wednesday. “The television networks have committed to having those transmission facilities up and available.” He said digital television would finally provide acceptable television service for many long-suffering residents in those areas. • Continued Page 7

Junction Junk returns WENTWORTH’S popular ‘Junction Junk’ giant garage sale returns on Easter Sunday this year. And the call has now gone out for potential garage sale sites to take part in what has become a fixture on Sunraysia’s extensive Easter events calendar. Organised by Wentworth’s Mainstreet Events committee, bookings are now being taken for sale sites at $20 and event’s committee member and Wentworth Shire Mayor, Cr Margaret Thomson, said the group was looking forward to another successful sale. “Junction Junk has become an accepted way to spend part of Easter Sunday, this year on April 4,” she said. “And it’s good opportunity to clean out the shed or the cupboards.” Maps to the participating sale sites will once again only be made available on the morning of the event from 9am at Ruby’s Cargo, on the corner of Sandwych and Adams Streets. Junction Junk will run from 9am to about 2pm, with many shops in the township also opening their doors to take part. For more information, or to register a stall or garage sale site, contact Carmel Chapman or Karen Arnold at the Wentworth Visitor Information Centre on 5027 3624.

Volunteers sought WANTED. Fit and able volunteer handyman types who are happy to work outdoors. Wentworth’s historic Paddle Steamer Ruby will be in the slips early next month for work on her hull, and volunteers are now being sought for caulking and painting. All volunteers will need to be available to take part in OH&S ‘Induction Training for Construction Workers’ (or have completed similar training elsewhere and hold a white or green card). A free induction training course will be available for all registered PS Ruby volunteers on Thursday, April 8, during the relocation cruise from Wentworth to Buronga. Volunteers working on the project will need to be aged 15 years, or over, on that date and more for information contact Jane Brook on (03) 5027 2244 or by email: jane.brook@activ8.net.au.

Yamba police raids for drugs and weapons • From Page 3 While most of the illegal activity is centred on major sea ports, capital cities and airports, contraband worth multi-millions is often transported by vehicle through Australia’s vast interior with the aim of avoiding detection. And organised crime syndicates have come up with a variety of novel ways to try to avoid detection. Customs officers recently told of several tonnes of illegal tobacco bring found in imports of bulk car and truck tyres, wildlife wrapped in socks, exotic bird eggs hidden in specially-designed vests, heroin hidden in shoes and the false bottom of sets of dinner plates, and ecstasy • CANNED: A Customs officer with cans of fruit pills secreted in some VHS suspected of containing illegal drugs or other tapes. contraband. Couriers go to extraordinary lengths Other discoveries inin efforts to smuggle drugs into Australia, including cluded boxes of replica ‘exinside the stuffed (and armed) Armadillo from the pensive’ designer clothes, United States (RIGHT). watches, cigarettes, plants,

fossils – and illegal weapons including Ninja-style throwing knives, flick knifes and a wide variety of firearms. In recent years, some of the wildlife confiscated by Customers officers, including species of native birds and their eggs, were traced back to the Mallee. Birds such as the galah and cockatoo might be worth as much as $10,000 a pair on the overseas market. Federal and State authorities acknowledge that while drugs are by far their biggest target group, there is rising concern at the incidents of firearm, wildlife and internet-based scams, along with other fraud and moneylaundering offences. They are concerned that in Australia, only a small proportion of the estimated proceeds of crime are detected and recovered, as highlyorganised gangs use a variety of sophisticated methods to cover their tracks.

Confidence up for on-time digital switchover “They’ve been getting ripped off for many many years with a lack of quality service,” Senator Conroy said. “Now they’re going to get the same television reception as you’re going to get in Melbourne.” During his visit on Wednesday, Senator Conroy also shifted some of the pressure to get the digitalonly service up and running onto the television networks. “The broadcasters have committed. They will have this signal up. They will have the satellite service up so that we are able to deliver on our commitment to give the full suite of TV channels that everyone else in Australia gets in Mildura, Ouyen and Underbool,” he said.

Mr Forrest has previously called on the Federal Government to push back the June 30 deadline, an option he says could still be viable rather than turning the existing analogue service off before the digital service is ready. “I’ve put that before the minster and he hasn’t said yes or no at this stage,” he said. “We want to deliver, but it remains to be seen whether we can get all that work done on time, and I know the networks themselves are working very hard. “The key will be when the satellite signal is available for testing so people can make an assessment. “My feeling is they’ll probably feel more comfortable with the satellite signal than any other because I’m assured it’s going to be a very very good, strong, reliable signal.”

The Federal Government last year announced an upgrade to the analogue transmission tower at Underbool and a new transmitter at Ouyen to solve the poor signal quality in these areas. Meanwhile, with just over three months before the analogue service is turned off, there are fresh concerns in the tourism industry. “Consumers are up to speed, but it’s still not clear just how ready the tourism industry is,” Mildura Tourism chief executive Rod Trowbridge said this week. “Looking at the accommodation sector in particular, we believe some are up to speed, but there are quite a few scenarios which could be potentially complicated. “For example, if they (accommodation providers) say, ‘okay, we’ll put in set top boxes in all of

our rooms’, they could find the consumer is a little confused on how to use it. You’ve also got two controllers - one for the TV and one for the set top box, and there’s no guarantee the controllers won’t get lost or go missing. “Secondly, if motels decide to upgrade to brand new televisions that could represent a substantial cost because, with multi-dwelling usage, there’s additional cabling and possible additional antenna requirements. “If the industry’s not up to speed with it, we could get around to June and be out of time.” Mr Trowbridge said his office would be contacting tourism operators, particularly caravan parks, this week in a bid to determine if there were any problems. “We don’t know if it’s going to

THE National Centre for Sustainability and SuniTAFE Swan Hill have launched a new program aimed at helping rural women become “informed leaders.” Entitled ‘Women Leading Change,’ the program aims to help women in agriculture, fisheries and forestry related industries build skills and networks, while also enabling them to undertake leadership roles at local, regional and national levels. Participants will be provided with all the necessary skills needed to develop strong leadership qualities, with the program

to consist of three main components including a mentoring program with community leaders, accredited sustainability training, and the opportunity to build networks. The program is free and will be held at SuniTAFE’s Swan Hill campus, with an orientation day and leadership management workshop to be held in early April. The program itself will run from April 13 until the end of June. Registration forms, and more information from Jenny Heaslip on 5091 0400.

be a major problem or no problem at all, but we need to find out,” he said. Mr Trowbridge said something as minor as television reception in hotel rooms or caravan parks could have a significant impact on tourism. “Because Mildura is popular with grey nomads and retirees, many have got quite sophisticated caravans and mobile homes, most with televisions,” he said. “Now if those TVs don’t work on July 1, yet they work everywhere else in Australia, we could get a bad reputation - ‘don’t go to Mildura because your services won’t work’. “It could just be enough for them to go somewhere else. But as I said, we don’t know if this is a major issue or a non-existent issue, but we need to find out.”

Some of the key topics covered during the seminar include: s¬Understanding and improving macro and micro nutrients s¬Benefits of a strategic post harvest nutrition program s¬Information on Stomp 440, Hammer & Spotlight s¬Dormex applications A light supper and refreshments will be provided.

This year is the 110th anniversary of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in the Boer War, and our This is a story of sacrifice and heroism; on the battlefield and the home front. It is also the story of two families in search of a better life in a new country, and how their fortunes were forever entwined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with each other and Mildura...

From the battlefield to Mildura By GEOFFREY BROWN, with GRANT MAYNARD NED Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuries were so severe it was feared he would never walk again. The Boer bullet that struck him in the lower left leg, ripping through his puttee and the money belt where he had been advised to hide his emergency stash in the event of capture by an enemy desperate for funds, had done terrible damage. In this case, the advice to hide his money in a belt on his leg, was bad advice. The impact of the bullet on the soft gold coins he had hidden there expanded at least one of them considerably, greatly increasing the severity of the wound.

To add insult to injury, he was shot on his 25th birthday! But in true Aussie fashion he would later joke that by driving the gold into his leg, the Boers had ensured he would be worth a bit when he died! It was typical of the sprightly man who bought his first motorbike at 75, marched in the annual Anzac Day commemoration parades until he was 88, and continued to ride on two wheels until, at age 93, he was knocked off his motorcycle by a truck, breaking his leg. But it was a 25-year-old Ned who was shot when an Aussie patrol was ambushed in a narrow gully by the Boers in an action that was to

become cemented in Australian military history. Two of his comrades, including the officer who rescued Ned after he was wounded, that day received the highest recognition for gallantry under fire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Victoria Cross. Ned was fortunate. His brother, Geoffrey, was grievously wounded in the same action. Captured by the Boers, he later died of his wounds despite the best efforts of the Boer medical staff. It is, unfortunately, not an uncommon, but certainly tragic, story of a family decimated by war. What is less common is the strong link this story has with Mildura. It really all began in the 1880s when two families â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Browns and the Hynesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

patriarch was Washington Hamilton Brown, a solicitor from Swansea in Wales, while the second, Thomas Hynes, had retired from the British Army after serving in India, Egypt and the West Indies. Neither had ever visited Australia, and the farming ventures they were determined to undertake were fraught with vast challenges. They worked hard to clear

Both couples had reared large families in Britain, and both had hopes of establishing a farm to provide a living for their respective sons. However, for each of them farming was to be a totally new experience. The first

However, eventually, the members of both these families were to become successful pioneer settlers in the early days of Mildura. In Penguin, a friendship had developed between the

two families, understandable considering their common purpose and interests. The young Browns and Hynes shared picnics, cycling adventures, sporting activities, musical evenings and membership of the local militia. When war broke out in South Africa in 1900, Charles and Wallace Brown, the third and fourth sons of the by then widowed Aurelia Brown, enlisted in the Tasmanian contingent to be sent to the Boer War. When they set sail, Wallace was a Captain, but there is no record of Charles’ rank. Meanwhile, two younger sons – Geoffrey and Edward (Ned) – had been part of a

survey party investigating the feasibility of a rail link from Tasmania’s rugged isolated west coast mining area to the ports and settled region of the north-west coast. By the time they returned to civilisation war had begun, and Charles and Wallace had already left for South Africa. Without hesitation the younger pair enlisted, and were assigned to sail from Hobart aboard the ‘Manhattan’ on April 26th, 1900. They arrived in Durban and travelled on to Port Elizabeth, where the contingent disembarked and travelled inland to the Transvaal . On September 1, 1900 (Ned’s , 25th birthday), Army Service Corps personnel under a Major Brooke, and

escorted by a troop of Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen led by Lieutenant Guy Wylly, went searching for Boer cattle for meat . Near Warmbad, Transvaal, the party, including Corporal Edward Brown and his older brother, Trooper Geoffrey Brown, was ambushed in a narrow mountain pass. The previous day, when patrolling the same small valley, the party had been fired on and considered themselves lucky to have retreated unharmed. They were somewhat dismayed when, the next morning, they were given orders to further investigate the same area. • Continued Page 20

An eyewtiness account of the action

• HERO: Lieutenant Guy Wylly

An excerpt from Trooper John Bisdee’s diary reveals what happened on the fateful day Ned was wounded. “Sunday, September 1st ... Twenty of us sent on patrol in the afternoon under Captain Brooke and Lieutenant Wylly to secure some cattle. Had a terrible experience, which I shall never forget. We were led through a narrow neck into a veritable death trap. I cannot understand how the officers did not realise the

danger. This neck led into a sort of basin with steep rocky hills rising in front. They opened fire on our five advance guardsmen at short range, and upon all of us, and how we got away at all is most wonderful. As it was we had four wounded. Wylly slightly, and Sergeant G. Shaw and Willoughby and Corporal E.S. Brown rather worse, and G.H. Brown very seriously, and the guide also seriously wounded. • Continued Page 20

He was raised in poverty, ‘failed’ kindergarten, wagged school as often as he could, is semi-illiterate… and now runs a multimillion empire that is admired around the world. The Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE this week caught up with…

Tom O’Toole, the Beechworth Baker IF Beechworth’s Tom O’Toole ever wants to give up the bakery business, he’s a shoe-in for stand-up comedy. The 58-year-old exhibited all the passion of a keen teen as he enthralled, entertained motivated and amused 100 people at a Mildura Working Man’s Club business breakfast on Wednesday. The animated grandfather, Australia’s most famous baker, took us on a rollercoaster ride through his life in an animated and enthralling talk that had many of the hallmarks of John Cleese at his very best. But the overall message was serious – if you want to get ahead in life, it’s up to YOU. Grab every opportunity by the throat, don’t whinge and moan ‘why me?’… after all, as Tom and many others before him have said – you’re a long time dead! The after-breakfast ‘entertainment’ started even before Workers manager John Harlock had finished his welcome address. “God, don’t feed ‘em all that crap, I’m just a simple baker with a simple message,” roared O’Toole into his lapel microphone as he strode to the stage and took over, eye-balling a packed room that included Workers staffers, students from Mildura Senior College and St Joseph’s College, and business partners of the Workers.

• SIGN OF THE TIMES: Tom O’Toole signs one of his books after Wednesday’s Workers breakfast. His message; ‘Keep in touch with your dreams.’ TOP – the Beechworth Bakery. BOTTOM – “I’m just a baker.”

when he got home from work to look after the kids, cook the tea, and watch all the bad news of the day on the television. At one stage he admits to putting a loaded gun in his mouth. “Believe me, it’s a lot colder and more oily than a sausage roll,” he says.

Living your dream A Lifeline counsellor (“God bless ‘em”) told him to turn the TV off, take one day at a time, and live his dream. The real Tom O’Toole probably came alive about then. He became a driven man, and makes brilliant use of a slide show to demonstrate a slow but steady rise to the top, and his so-called ‘secret recipes’ for success. He fills in his talks with some great anecdotes, amusing stories, and a lot of homespun philosophy. When he first took over the derelict bakery, it was mouse and ratinfested, and a resident possum called in daily to chomp on the pasties. Time and again they ‘re-located’ it to the bush, but it always returned, only disappearing, Tom says with a twinkle in the eye, when the Chinese take-away opened up a few doors away. Tom had trouble getting capital to get started. The bank told him he was wasting his time. Beechworth was a dying town, especially after what was known locally

Honest and blunt O’Toole was honest, blunt, and got straight to the point. If his swearing or antics offended anyone, too bad… listen to the message. The self-confessed kindergarten dropout who says he still doesn’t know the ABC described coming from a dirt poor family of seven. Growing up around Tocumwal, he struggled through primary school, leaving only because he got too big for the desk. His younger brother beat him into high school. But he had a dream… to become rich… and he makes no apologies for that. He grins as he makes the sign of the cross and apologies to the Catholic education students when discussing a person’s spiritual needs. “Believe me, I’ve been poor, and there’s nothing spiritual

about poverty,” he says. After leaving school at 14, Tom worked for brief periods at a flour mill and then a cordial factory, before starting as a baker’s apprentice. He started up his own bakery at the age of 21, and there were plenty of people – ‘dream-takers’ – who told

him he was mad, that the town was dying, and he’d go broke. He’d already changed his name by deed poll – from Toole, to O’Toole. He didn’t want to be known as a ‘toole.’ Things were tough, and got tougher when his wife ran off and left him… with a big

Fijian. He says wryly that’s when he fell in love with her. But with two young kids and a business to look after, Tom found the pressure almost too much, exacerbated day after day

as ‘the lunatic asylum’ shut down, with the loss of 700 jobs.

But Tom didn’t take any notice of the doom and gloom forecasters. He persisted. Day after day he encouraged his staff to listen to the customer, look after them, smile, give them good service that goes along with a good product. He started with two part-timers, and ended up with 74. Word spread. People started beating a path to Beechworth, population just on 3000, to get a taste of this livewire and his products – and the bakery grew… and grew. Now it heads an empire that serves around 900,000 customers a year, with a turnover of more than $12 million. Beechworth is a changed town. People came from all around Australia – and overseas – to learn his secrets of success. “They don’t realise it’s staring them in the face,” Tom says. “Business is so simple that most people miss it.”

Invest in yourself Other bakery owners still can’t believe it. He tells them it’s easy to pick up one mistake… a lot harder to congratulate staff on the 99 things they’re doing right. He tells them to invest in themselves… invest in the dream. When he ran out of room at the bakery, Tom bought the place next door, and then the vacant shop on the other side. He ran out of room again, so he headed upstairs. When a state-of-the-art, purpose-built bakery went broke in Echuca, Tom bought the place and got some good staff to run it. There were many who said the move was doomed from the start, but Tom’s philosophies and business principles took the Echuca business from a turnover of $300,000 to $1.5 million in just a few years. Last year it turned over $4 million, and Tom says it’s on target to beat the success of the Beechworth bakery. • Continued Page 20

THE Mildura Passenger Train Action Group has repeated the call for supporters to contribute to the Victorian Government’s feasibility study into the passenger train’s return. The move follows a massive turn-out to a public consultation meeting in Mildura last week. Action Group committee member Mary Chandler said it was imperative those who want the passenger service returned continue the fight. “We really need people to complete submissions for the feasibility study, it’s vital,” Ms Chandler said. “This issue is so important, and will become more important as petrol prices increase in the future.” She said a wide variety of local organisations could suffer if petrol prices escalate in the future and there is no passenger rail service in Mildura. “A range of organisations, tourism organisations especially will feel it as not as many people will be able to afford to drive here,” Ms Chandler said. “But it will affect numerous organisations, health organisations, supermarkets, petrol stations, newsagents, a host of businesses.” People wishing to forward a submission to the Government have until Wednesday, March 31 to do so. Ms Chandler said people can make submissions from the Action Group’s website at www.mildurapassengertrain. org, where there is a simple-tocomplete form. Alternatively, written submissions can be mailed to: Department of Transport, Mildura Passenger Rail Feasibility Study, Reply Paid 86173, Melbourne VIC 8060 or emailed to railprojectenquiries@transport.vic.gov.au.

A helping hand from someone who knows MILDURA’S Mark Slade knows what it’s like to suffer a disability. A Multiple Sclerosis sufferer, Mark was confined to a wheelchair until a few years ago, when a swimming program and other exercises put him back on his feet – literally. Given a job with Mildura Waves, Mark got first aid and lifesaving qualifications, and was the first one to put up his hand for extra hours, and to have a crack at any new or innovative programs. Now he’s become involved as a community coach with Sunraysia Residential Services creative after school care program, organised by the local office of the Australian Sports Commission, and teacher and ‘pupils’ are loving it. Mark’s appointment came hot on the heels of his recent Mallee Sports Star award for an athlete with a disability for his achievements in the disciplines of triathlon, swimming and athletics. Gifford Dennison, who has been organising the out-of-school-hours program for the past two years, says he is delighted to be a part of the Sports Commission program, and speaks highly of Mark’s work. “He encourages all children to take part in activities, no matter what their ability, by introducing new, fun and inclusive games,” Gifford said, applauding the national initiative that is designed to provide primary school-aged children all over Australia with a positive introduction to numerous sports and activities. “By taking part in the program, we will be creating more opportuni-

ties for children in the Mildura area to take part in sport and other structured physical activity after school,” Gifford said. It has proved to be an excellent program. SRS supports more than 250 people annually, building on three decades of delivering services tailored to meet individual needs, with a staff focus on outcomes that

“It has worked wonderfully, opening a whole new area of interest to the children, and equipping the staff with more options to keep the children interested and active.” – Gifford Dennison people with disabilities indicate are most important to them. Its core services are to provide individual support for people with disabilities and their families, allowing them to reach their potential, enjoy positive experiences, and achieve life goals. As a way of helping, SRS offers a lifelong support for people with disabilities, starting at age five and lasting through to the twilight years. It offers a full suite of services and accommodation options including respite (emergency and planned), supported accommodation, independent living, training, educational

programs, recreation and social opportunities to connect within the community. Gifford said that previously, when the after school care program became associated with the Active After school community people, staff would offer respite for parents and look after their children from 3pm to 6pm, picking them up from school, offering nutritious refreshments, and providing books, computer and DVD entertainment, as well as art and craft. Staff also provided play options through puzzles, toys, sand pit activity and a trampoline. However, now the centre has been equipped with a variety of sporting equipment, it is now in a position to also offer various kinds of physical activities that are fun and creative. Initially staff hadn’t expected much success in rallying the children together for sport. This was because of the higher needs of the children. The difficulty had been motivating the children do the same activity at the same time. “But SRS and the Australian Sports Commission have given us coaching training and sent Mark to work with us in motivating the children to get involved,” he said. “It has worked wonderfully, opening a whole new area of interest to the children, and equipping the staff with more options to keep the children interested and active.” Gifford said the centre also ran a regular holiday program each school holiday period, where children were taken out into the community to en-

AASC Regional Coordinator Christine McGinty also applauded the program, saying sport played a major role in encouraging children to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. She said SRS Creative After School Care was in the final stages of building a pool, playground, tram-

poline site and undercover area that would be extensively used by the program. The AASC program is an Australian Government initiative, delivered by the Australian Sports Commission and provides primary school aged children with fun, free and safe sports and structured physical activities.

It’s not hard to rubbish Mildura – people do it all the time… from car bodies to old netting… not to mention the cans and bottles making our roadsides an eyesore.

By ALAN ERSKINE BIG Terry Wright recalled flying up to Cairns to see his brother a few years ago, and couldn’t help but be impressed at the view of a pristine city and surrounds as the plane came in to land. Everything neat and tidy, clean and green with no visible signs of rubbish, the town council and residents obviously taking pride in the way the popular Queensland tourist resort is presented. Flying back into Mildura a few days later, Terry noticed the contrast – from Irymple to Mildura, back yards, fruit blocks and other properties littered with the wrecks of old cars, trucks and tractors, posts, scrap metal and other rubbish. Working on the old adage ‘First Impressions are lasting impressions,’ The Irymple scrap metal merchant decided to do something about it, and with the help of a few friends, started a well-advertised Sunraysia clean-up campaign. That was just over four years ago, and an estimated 3000 tonnes of scrap metal has been leaving his yard for Melbourne depots every year since then. Included in that

There are 1200 cars ready to go. total are about 8000 car bodies. Sadly, Terry says, it’s just the tip of the iceberg, and Sunraysia has a long way to go to clean up its backyard. His work in the re-cycling game has earned him the ti-

tle, ‘The King of Crunch,’ and he’s really been living up to his name in recent months, sending at least five B-Double loads of scrap metal to Adelaide re-cycling outlets every week. There’s usually 30 tonne in a load.

• FULL-TIME JOB: Terry’s son Kent has a full-time job working the excavator to crush cars and pack the big B-doubles with scrap. RIGHT – yet another car about to get the Wright treatment. BELOW – batteries packed and ready to go. The work keeps Terry and a permanent staff of four going flat out, five days a week, covering a 250-kilometre radius of Mildura, including parts of SA and NSW, as far away as Pinnaroo. Terry says he could work seven days a week with a few trucks and still not keep up with the demand. Country Victoria is an Aladdin’s Cave of scrap… just not worth as much. “We’ve had to keep everything in the yard for the past year or so,” Terry explains. “The price for scrap just didn’t warrant transporting it. The trips would have barely covered the freight costs.” Now, he says thankfully, it’s a different story. Prices have risen, and he can start paying back some of the people who have supported him through the tough times. “All we have been able to do in recent months is provide a collection service until things picked up,” he said. “The businesses where our bins are located have been very supportive.”

Terry and his crew are slowly working their way through pile after pile of the 600 vehicles that have already been crushed and awaiting shipment out of his Irymple yard. There’s another 600 waiting for the excavator to move in for the kill. The car bodies are being shipped out 30 at a time, and with more coming in every day, Terry knows he’s got the next year or two covered.

Then there’s the heavyduty scrap such as car motors, steel posts, railway line and batteries. Not to mention all the piles of copper, lead, aluminium, stainless steel and cans. Terry’s on-site $80,000 compactor makes short work

of the cans, crushing them into manageable cubes… it takes about 58,000 cans to make a tonne. The transporter can take up to 38,000 at a time, and makes two trips to Adelaide each year just with cans. Terry believes it’s high time the State Government followed the SA example of putting a 10-cent bounty on bottles and cans, as a way of cleaning up the roadsides. “You seldom see roadside rubbish anywhere in SA, but on some road verges in Victoria and NSW, it’s a disgrace,” he said. Currently he has started a blitz on unwanted batteries, and has hundreds all parcelled up and ready to go to Adelaide. “Early last year it just wasn’t worthwhile for people to get rid of them,” he says. “They were worth next-tonothing. Now at least an average car battery is worth $5 or $6 delivered, a truck battery $10, and the heavier duty ones about $15 each.” • Continued Page 19

Our diverse cultures in Harmony Day spotlight AUSTRALIA is known for its multi-culturalism, and is one of only a few places in the world where people originating from varying nationalities and ethnicities can be found living alongside one another. It’s a theme similarly observed in Mildura, which also boasts a culturally rich population, with that diversity celebrated last weekend at the Irymple Multicultural Senior Citizens Centre. More than 160 people from the local Italian, Greek, German and Sudanese communities attended ‘Harmony Day,’ an initiative of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s ‘Diverse Australian’ program, which celebrates the “inclusive nature “of our country. The day was one of many events held nationwide designed to showcase Australia’s many cultures, while also promoting community participation, inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging. Only in its second year locally, a large number of people representing different cultures turned out for celebrations, with representatives from the Irymple, Greek, Red Cliffs, Mildura, Croatian, and Merbein Senior Citizens Club (to name just a few) all in attendance. They were joined by members from Mildura Rural City Council and the Sunraysia Mallee Ethnic Communities Council, with enter-

tainment highlighting each culture presented to eager onlookers. Everything from Italian Tarantella Dancers, to the Tongan community’s Sepi Morgan’s sons, and Germany’s Marlies Schmitt were on show, with the crowd loving every minute. The day, which was organised by the Circolo Pensionati Italian Senior Citizens Committee, also included an afternoon team, and was labelled a major success by Mildura Rural City Council Program Development Officer Jeni Stephens, who aided the group in promoting the event. “From all reports the crowd eclipsed the one achieved last year,” she said. “Which is a great achievement for all involved. “What was really encouraging was seeing so many different cultures come together, and simply celebrate their backgrounds. “The entire concept is about recognising that ‘everyone belongs’ in Australia, with these celebrations a great way to acknowledge that theme.” Held as part of Cultural Diversity Week, Jeni said the event was shaping up to be a regular celebration. “If last weekend is any indication it could certainly become an annual event,” she said. “Everyone involved seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, and more importantly gain an insight into nationalities and cultures vastly different to their own.” • BIG JOB: Kent Wright’s excavator takes a bite-size piece out of the huge pile of scrap. The scrap is packed into the trailers of a B-double for transportation to Adelaide.

• CELEBRATION: Members of the Greek Elderly Citizens Dancers prior to their performance at last weekend’s ‘Harmony Day’ and LEFT, The Circolo Pensionati Italian Senior Citizens Committee get ready for ‘Harmony Day,’ an initiative designed to acknowledge Mildura, and Australia’s, many cultures.

WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE MICK, JEANETTE & ADAM THOMSON TAKING OVER THE BUSINESS AND WISH THEM ALL THE BEST ON THEIR NEW VENTURE WITH SPORTSPOWER

Crunch time in the Oasis city • From Page 17 All Terry’s scrap is sent to Adelaide for re-cycling, and within a few weeks of arriving is either shredded, crushed or melted down, coming back into the community as roofing iron, posts, wire, star pickets or fencing, or a long list of other useful products. His Irymple auto-recycle workshop re-cycles many of the removable and useful parts off cars, four-wheel drives and trucks, and part of the business also involves vehicle roadworthy and safety checks and mechanical repairs. When times are good, Terry and his boys don’t mind helping out a sporting club or two, organising

a clean-up day, or a battery run or similar. The last one down Ouyen way raised $2000 for a local footy club, and Terry also put his hand in his pocket for a $1000 sponsorship last weekend for a lawn bowls fund-raiser. “There’s a lot of old tips out in the Mallee,” he says. “Some of them are between 50 and 100 years old, so we move in with the heavy equipment and clean them up as a community service. The bit of scrap we salvage is a small reward.” But cars are by far the biggest earner for the company. As a single item they don’t amount to much, but when they add up into the hundreds and thousands, it’s certainly worth the effort.

Terry recalled being asked a few years ago to clear some wrecks from a grazing property not far from Dareton… and stopped counting at 500 vehicles! And now and again he comes across a bush car ‘graveyard’ where stolen vehicles have been dumped and ‘torched.’ He reckons he’s got quite a few months work lined up in the Mallee… where word of mouth has resulted in him being asked to clear farm after farm of wrecks, scrap metal and other rubbish. He can’t see any end to the local clean-up campaign, but is determined to play his part in helping return Mildura to ‘Oasis in the desert’ status.

Keith and Von would like to take this opportunity to say a ‘heartfelt’ thank you to our clients for the support that has been shown to us and our business over the last 30 years in Robinvale and Mildura.

Tom O’Toole, the Beechworth Baker • From Page 10

Since then he’s opened up other ‘franchises’ in Ballarat, Albury, Bendigo and Healsville. The next stage, he says, is up to his new business partner – a former apprentice – and his wife. “They own 25 percent of the profits,” he says. “I have 75 percent of the liability!” He credits much of the success to the support of his wife Christine, although he says he’s reluctant to let go her hand… every time he does she goes shopping! Tom says Australia has more than its fair share of ‘knockers,’ people just not prepared to have a go, but he says this is still the luckiest country in the world, and if people didn’t believe that, they should visit countries like India, or Bangladesh. “This must be a great country,” he says, “you don’t see boat-loads of people leaving our

shores for Afghanistan, do you?” He says it’s up to businesses to invest in their staff, to encourage them, to compliment them, to show them the way, to give them responsibility, to make them feel part of the success story. He organises regular staff gettogethers …he’s already gone from a dictatorship to a management team… they even get the kindergarten kids in during quiet months to make their own biscuits and bread. Staff sometimes come to work in their pyjamas, or dress up as clowns, “to get them out of their comfort zone.” They are encouraged to pull together, help each other out, do that little bit extra, those little extra things that make a big difference. When he came up with the idea of putting a band upstairs to play one day a week, the dream-takers told him the ideas wouldn’t work. Tom wants

more ideas like it – on the days the band plays, the bakery takes up to $36,000 across the counter! He advises people to have a goal, put some fire in the belly, and enjoy the journey. He tells the story of the 69-year-old who recently asked if he could start an apprenticeship. “He’s 70 now, and in his 2nd year,” Tom says happily. “God I hope he makes it!” Tom says his success in business doesn’t make him an expert. The credit, he says, is due largely to great staff - “and I’ve got around 260 of the buggers now.” Most of them now tell him what to do, and he doesn’t mind that in the least. He knows his businesses are in good hands. “After all, these are the people who are taking ownership,” he says. “They are the learners of today, and the learners of today are the ones who will inherit the future.”

• Another fighting Brown, Ned’s older brother Wallace, a Captain.

Upon entering the valley the second time, the group was caught in a murderous crossfire. Geoffrey was wounded, and later taken prisoner by the Boers. He died of his wounds the following day. Meanwhile, Ned’s horse was shot from under him, and as he retreated on foot he was shot in the left leg. Despite his wound, Ned continued to run until a mounted Lieutenant Wylly returned, under heavy fire, to rescue him – scooping him up onto his horse.

Once they reached cover, Lieutenant Wylly dismounted and set about covering the retreat of the remainder of the party by opening fire from behind a rock. For this act of outstanding bravery he was awarded the Victoria Cross. In the same action, Trooper John Bisdee was also awarded the Victoria Cross. He rescued Major Brooke, who was wounded and unhorsed, in a similar fashion. These two gallant soldiers were the first Australians to receive the VC, and two of only six conferred on Aussies during the Boer conflict.

Back in Tasmania news of the heroic action was commemorated by the naming of three mountains – Mt Bisdee, Mt Victoria Cross and Mt Wylly. Ned Brown’s injuries were so severe he was repatriated to Australia, but there is an interesting family anecdote about one piece of equipment that didn’t return to Australia with him – his army issue wooden water bottle. Ned always asserted that whoever gained that particular water bottle, gained a real treasure because, while serving sentry duty one evening, he had decided to

forgo his nightly rum issue immediately, instead saving it for the middle of his watch – about midnight. The nights were cold on the veldt, and the thought of the warming tot awaiting him in his water bottle helped to keep him alert. However, the anticipated pleasure vanished when he realised the rum had soaked into the timber of the bottle, forever lost. The silver lining was that the quality of his water ration after that was much improved! • NEXT: Ned recovers and decides to try his luck in Mildura.

• OFF TO WAR: The red circle marks the cross that the family uses to identify Geoffrey and Ned standing on the deck of the ‘Manhattan’ in Hobart on April 26th, 1900 when they left for South Africa, farewelled by a large crowd of family, friends and well-wishers, and RIGHT, a mounted Geoffrey ready for action.

An eyewtiness account of the action • From Page 9 The two latter fell into the hands of the Boers, and we fear that they are in a critical state. The others are being attended to by the ambulance. The bullets came round us as thick as hail, and exploded with loud report as they struck. Captain Brook was unhorsed. I gave him mine, running alongside myself, as he received a slight wound in the leg.

Corporal E.S. Brown’s horse was shot, and Wylly gave him his horse, as he was wounded in the lower leg, the Boer pellet lodging in a coin he had in a small leather purse in his puttees. Groom then picked up Wylly on his horse, and we rode for our lives. Two men Clarke and Blackaby lost their horses (Clarke gave his to Willoughby), but managed to evade the Boers,

and arrived in camp late. Walters horse was shot and, he stopping with G.H. Brown was captured by the Boers, who let him go to report upon E.S. Brown’s case, and send an ambulance in. Altogether it has been a terrible experience, and seems so utterly foolhardy to go into such a place without scouts well out in front and good supports behind. All for the sake of a few cattle.”

He’s a larger-than-life Texan who has 10 world poker championships to his name, winning and losing millions of dollars in 50 years of Texas Hold ’Em. He’s taken on the world’s best card players, and some of the worst gangsters, and says…

Some days, poker can be murder! BIG Doyle Brunson was so engrossed in the poker game he didn’t notice the stranger who strolled nonchalantly into the Texas bar room where the illegal game was being played. The stranger headed for an adjoining table. Something made Doyle look up…just as the stranger pulled out a Colt 44, put it to the head of one of the players and blew his brains out. Then he calmly walked back out the door. Doyle, known world-wide as ‘The Godfather of Poker,’ tells the shocking story – one of many tales of the game – in an autobiography that has just been released in the United States. One copy, among the few in Australia, was made available to the Mildura Weekly last week, and it’s a book that’s hard to put down. Doyle, multi-millionaire through poker and arguably the most successful, well liked and respected Texas ‘Hold ‘Em Poker player in the world, goes through the highs and lows of life in a simple, direct way, without embellishment…with story after story of the characters, big games and events that helped shape his destiny. The card game in his home State of Texas wasn’t the first time death came calling. Twice Doyle tells of playing in big games and being ‘called’ on some good hands, when losing players had heart attacks and dropped dead at his feet. One of those games had been going for more than four days and nights when a losing gambler died. A friend across the table rang the paramedics. After they took the body away, Doyle and the others continued on for another 24 hours. Another time, Doyle remembers bluffing most of the night, throwing big money into the pot to force

School celebrates 150 years FIRST it was the town of Wentworth. It celebrated its 150th birthday last year; now it is the turn of the historic town’s public school. And a big back-tostyle celebration has been planned for the June long weekend. A host of activities have been planned including an ofﬁcial welcome back to the school, a supper dance, church service, dinner and a roll call of past students. Event organisers would like to get some idea of the number of people who might attend, and have asked that an RSVP be made for Saturday’s welcome and supper/dance, and Sunday ‘s dinner. For more information contact the school on 5027 3146.

Book review, with ALAN ERSKINE one bloke in particular – a millionaire – to fold his hand. Just as Doyle was dealt an unbeatable straight, the other bloke said he suspected Doyle had been bluffing all night, and decided to call! When Doyle showed him the straight, the unlucky gambler went red in the face, and dropped dead from a massive heart attack. Doyle Brunson, also known as ‘Texas Dolly,’ is a 76-year-old who has made his living from poker for well over half a century. He’s an American treasure who has been through the good and bad times, witnessed murders, escaped being stabbed or shot several times, and mixed with vicious leaders of the underworld, and just as vicious leaders of Government, business and industry. Raised in the ‘Bible-belt’ of Texas, he is a survivor who traces his history back to the Wild West days, playing cards as a teenager and young man in the same establishments once frequented by the likes of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He kept his gambling habits a secret from family and friends for years, even playing under an assumed name. He has mixed with the likes of Amarillo Slim and pool-hall legend Minnesota Fats (he once saw the big man demolish a full turkey to win a $2000 bet…then call for another bird!), Howard Hughes, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Hilton sisters Nicky and Paris and Pamela Anderson, and has won respect from them all – friend or foe.

Of a group of about 40 men he played poker with in the murderous days of Fort Worth’s ‘Hell’s Halfacre,’ only Doyle and one other of the group are still alive. Doyle has cheated death more times than he cares to recall, including the time doctors told him he was riddled with incurable cancer…he was given just four months to live. Against all the odds, he went ‘heads up’ (one to one) with cancer - and won. He admits to being flat broke countless times, and has won millions just as often. He has bet on the horses, almost every type of sport there is, presidential elections…and once backed himself to win a game of golf for a $1.6 million collect.

The Doyle Brunson story began in the west Texas town of Longworth, population 100, and recognised for its cattle and cotton. One of the few things to do in Longworth, apart from getting into mischief, was getting into sport, and Doyle Brunson did that better than most. He was a high school basketball star, making the all-star State team, pretty handy with a baseball bat, and a middle-distance runner of note, representing the State of Texas, setting records for the half-mile and

mile events, and at one stage coming within 15 seconds of breaking the four-minute mile. The 384-page hard-cover book has ‘Doyleisms’ at the start of every chapter. And some brilliant ones at that. “I started with nothing,” he says, “and I still have most of it.” And ‘The mighty oak was once a nut that stood its ground’…’When luck shuts the door, come in through the window’…’The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary’…’People think a rabbit’s foot is lucky…except the rabbit’… ’There are three rules for success 1. Keep going. 2. Keep going. 3. Keep going’…’Insanity is hereditary – you get it from your children’…and ‘The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.’ Throughout his life, Doyle has mixed with some colourful and remarkable – often dangerous – characters. Early in his life, before he wed wife Louise “the most beautiful gal in Texas,” a lot of his associates were mixed up in the ‘moonshine’ (illegal whisky) business. He was often invited to games ‘in the middle of nowhere,’ likening the places and the people as something like the film ‘Deliverance.’ Robbers liked to target some of these games, so organisers arranged for armed guards. One time the house was guarded by a bloke set up on the roof with a .50-calibre machine gun! In another heads-up game, a grizzled old moonshiner who was losing badly put a pistol on the table and advised Doyle to start losing. Luckily, Doyle had taken a

‘minder’ who pulled his own pistol, warned the moonshiner of its hair trigger, and advised him to put up or shut up. Doyle tells a story of moonshiners buying hotted-up cars in which to make their illegal grog drop-offs. State troopers could never catch them. One of the ways they tried was buying the old cars that the moonshiners traded in! He’s a sentimental bloke, but mainly about cards. On the day he was to wed the love of his life, he was playing in a huge card game, so he asked his best friend to go with his bride-to-be to get the wedding licence. When his wife was being released from hospital after the birth of their first child, Doyle didn’t have enough money to pay the bill, so he asked the same friend to go to the hospital and stall them until he won enough money. Luckily, he won a big pot to end the game, and made a mad dash for the hospital. His wife wasn’t impressed. He says that after beating the cancer, and settling down to start a family, he decided to make a career – and a living – out of poker. Not long after that he won 54 hands straight, and was on his way to fame and fortune, helped along the way by one of the most likeable, but notorious, gambling room operators in the world, Benny Binion of Las Vegas. • NEXT: The life and times of Big Benny, and the rise and rise of Texas Hold ‘Em Poker.

Brooke Matthew

WHEN Brooke Knight wed Matthew Walmsley the couple returned from Adelaide to their home town to be married. The couple, both originally from Mildura, exchanged vows in the Grand Hotel’s Rose Garden with the bride in white and the accompanying bridesmaids in silver grey. The wedding had a black and white classical theme, with three cream Jaguars ferrying the bridal party of three bridesmaids, two pageboys and one ﬂowergirl to the garden. The party walked down the aisle to ‘At Last’ by Etta James, with the bride carrying three white gerberas to match the bridesmaids who wore a matching set of three on their wrists, all supplied by Nean’s Florist. Nean also provided ﬂoral table decorations for the reception. Brooke’s jewellery and fascinator were made by Stav Designs, and the celebrant for the afternoon was Lynnette Dixon. Brooke and Matt said that it was lovely to look back at their guests fanning away the heat with the hand fans they had provided. The reception was held in the Grand Hotel Ballroom, where Party By Design did a fantastic job of making it look like a fairy tale, the couple said. A feature was a projected slide show of photos taken earlier on the day and the music was played by Expert Weddings DJ Chris Davis who, for the bridal waltz chose ‘We Belong together’ from the movie La Bamba. Matt and Brooke cut their cake to the song ‘Never Stop Falling In Love’, from the movie Mr and Mrs Smith. The two-tier cake was made by Rosanna at Amazing Cakes and decorated in white and black in line with the overall wedding theme. Rosanna also made the couple’s bonbonniere gifts – cookies in the shape of a brides gown and a grooms suit. They were a real hit, the couple said. The day was like a dream come true, everything was perfect. After a ten-day honeymoon in Asia, Brooke and Matt have made their home in Adelaide.

Siren sounds for The Taming of the Shrew

By GRANT MAYNARD SHE’S back. The Old Van theatre company’s directing dynamo Fiona Blair has returned to Mildura and jumped right into her next project – with an enthusiasm she has become renowned for. You may remember Fiona as the driving force and director behind the most avant-garde theatre we have ever seen in this region. She is the one who used the original Mildura swimming pool at the Riverside Golf Course to stage the 2003 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dreaming Mildura 1956; a deserted packing shed at Merbein for Romeo and Juliet in 2005 and the Perry Sandhills as the backdrop for 2008’s ‘Seal Wife’. All were developed for the annual Mildura Wentworth Arts Festival. Their most recent Sunraysia production, ‘My Home-

land’, was performed in and around the Old Mildura Homestead shearing shed during March last year, again as part of the festival. She’s a little late this year, with the arts festival having come and gone, but Fiona has once again brought with her a host of ideas for her latest production – ‘The (Aussie Rules) Taming of the Shrew’.

• RARING TO GO: The Old Van director Fiona Blair, LEFT, is happy to be working in Sunraysia again, and this time it is a production with a football theme, unlike last year’s production ‘My Homeland’, which performed in and around the Old Mildura Homestead shearing shed, ABOVE. To be performed next month in Nangiloc, preparations for the production are well under way and, like previous performances, this one will have a place for local volunteer actors to work alongside some professionals in the trade including Devon Taylor, LeRoy Parsons, Luke

Western, Scott Middleton and Tamara Gourley. Asking Fiona what her latest work will be like opens a floodgate of ideas as, like her previous works, this one is set to evolve as rehearsals progress, but the story-line goes something like this: “It’s a titanic battle of

the sexes fought in the clubrooms, kiosk and spilling out onto the oval,” Fiona said. “The production features a supporting cast of umpires, netballers, committee members and the team – the pride of the town. “They’re a little injured, a little desperate, but each man determined to do his best, to give his all for football.” It is, Fiona insists, Shakespeare... live at the MCG... or in this case the Nangiloc footy oval! LeRoy Parsons is Pete Ruchio, the new coach of the team – he has his own ideas about how to win a match. Devon Taylor plays Kate Minola, eldest daughter of the club’s president – and she’s not about to be trained by any man! “Football,” Fiona laughs, “may never be the same again.” Yes, the Old Van is set to present one of Shakespeare’s most controversial plays as

four quarters of big kicking, hard tackling and, fast handballing. And it won’t be over until the final siren we have been told. And Fiona would welcome the participation of locals, particularly some blokes to pad out the footy team, or as she put it: “To run with the pack on the day.” If you’re interested give Fiona a call on 0408 518 416, or Marion Peters on 5029 1546. ‘The (Aussie Rules) Taming of the Shrew’ will be staged at Nangiloc Football Oval, on Kulkyne Way Friday, the 16th, and Saturday, the 17th, of April from 7.30pm. Tickets are $5 for adults and children under 16 are free. They are available from the Mildura Arts Centre (5018 8330) or the Mildura Visitor Information Centre (5018 8376). It’s BYO chair, and dress for the weather.

‘Idol’ Wes Carr to perform in Mildura By VINNIE RODI FANS of the popular singing/reality show ‘Australian Idol’ will surely recognise the name, while those familiar with the ARIA charts have probably heard of him also. For Mildura, which has built a reputation on attracting former Idol contestants, Wes Carr will be the latest from the now axed show to make an appearance in town, with the bluesy rocker to showcase songs from his latest album ‘The Way the World Looks’ tomorrow night from 9pm at O’Malley’s Irish Tavern. Wes is an artist who, at the time, seemed to appear out of nowhere, with no one knowing much about the Adelaide native prior to his Idol debut. In truth, Wes is a 26 year veteran of the music industry, and boasts collaborations with some of the biggest writers, producers and musicians in Australia, including electro-pop artist Paul Mac and many others. As a singer/songwriter, Wes said

he’d been described as many things, with an “overnight success” simply not one of them. Born and raised in Adelaide, he began teaching himself guitar and piano at age 12, before a move to Sydney at 15 saw him secure a

scholarship to a local performing arts school. “I knew what I wanted to do, but didn’t know how I was going to get to do it,” he said. “I started to get acoustic gigs around Sydney, and ended up playing about five times a week.” Wes’ reputation began to grow, with more people within the profession starting to notice his potential. “I had a few people come to see my shows on and off, and I worked with some great musical talent, and people who had the same musical ‘spirit’ as myself,” he said. “I ended up helping to form a little acoustic club around Sydney, where a bunch of us would get together and jam to each other’s songs.” Whilst drifting around Sydney’s musical hideouts, Wes managed to strike up friendships with influential music identities, and in 2003 he independently released his ‘Rhythm to Fly’ EP, quickly following up that release with a collaboration along-

As most people know Wes went on to win Australian Idol, with his debut single ‘You’ quickly reaching Number 1 on the ARIA charts, while also going on to achieve platinum sales. Soon after the success of ‘You’ work began on ‘The Way the World Looks,’ which continued ‘You’s’ bluesy theme. “Even though I didn’t write ‘You,’ I really thought the writers and producers nailed it,” Wes said. “The music and lyrics captured where I was at the time, and it also inspired a few ideas about which direction I should take the album. “I had a limited amount of time to write it, and it was a sink or swim scenario for me, so I just went for it. “I wrote about 15 songs in the next eight or nine days, and the great thing about it was that every song was completely different.” Wes will perform solely acoustic versions of his hit songs tomorrow night. Tickets $20 at the door, and for more information – 5021 4236.

side silverchair’s Ben Gilles in 2005. Called ‘Tambalane,’ the duo quickly gained prominence on Australian radio stations like Triple J, however despite growing support, the band struggled to break into the mainstream industry. Wes quickly found himself back in Adelaide, playing in local bars, and over the course of a year began “throwing a collection of songs up on iTunes” under the album name ‘Simple Sun.’ It wasn’t until auditioning for the 2008 season of Australian Idol that he officially announced himself to Australian audiences, with Wes saying that at first he had been nervous about the audition. “I had nothing to lose,” he said. “I was confident within myself, and the only option was to take on something different and challenge myself. “I’d worked all over the place, and worked with some amazing people, but the truth is I was sick of playing covers in pubs.”

WHO AM I? For 3 points

LEO

You’ll say goodbye to the past once and for all this week, Virgo! On Wednesday you’ll decide to toss your memory book away and begin to concentrate on your present circumstances. You may decide to become a pet owner on Saturday. You love animals and your heart tugs whenever you see a photo of a dog or cat that needs to be rescued. Be sure you’re ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership before you bring one home with you. This week you’ll make a schedule and actually stick to it! You’re longing for a regular routine and a sense of security in your life. On Monday Mars sextiles Saturn in Libra and you’ll establish more order in your life. You’ll tune in to your spiritual side on Saturday when the Moon in your sector of metaphysical activities trines profound Pluto. You may check out various religious organizations in your area and join a group that shares your personal belief system.

Who am I?

Born on 18th of May, 1975, on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, I am a champion surfer, acclaimed surf documentarian and an award winning singer/songwriter. At 17 I became the youngest invitee to make the surfing finals at the Pipeline Masters on Oahu’s North Shore. I have had a large amount of musical success with songs such as ‘Taylor’, ‘Sitting, Waiting, Wishing’ and ‘Better Together’. I am?

You enjoy being the center of attention whenever you walk into a room, Lion! However, on Tuesday you won’t be as sure of yourself as you normally are. The Moon squares stern Saturn in your zone of communication and you’ll find it hard to talk to your associates. Your normally sunny disposition will return to you by Thursday and you’ll be back in the swing of things. On Saturday you’ll give serious thought to what you value the most in life.

The changeable Moon rules you, and your feelings ebb and flow, similar to the tides of the ocean. On Monday the Moon squares erratic and unpredictable Uranus and you’ll be extremely moody. You’ll find it hard to stick to your schedule due to your restlessness. You will come out of your shell on Saturday. You may decide to reach out to a close associate and confide all your secret thoughts. Make sure you don’t start to doubt yourself on Sunday.

On Monday you’ll put on your scholarly hat, Twin, as the Moon in clever Gemini trines Neptune in your zone of higher learning. You love to learn new skills and you adore increasing your brainpower. You’ll enroll in an adult education course this week. Don’t give up the ship on Friday. You’re involved in a difficult situation, but you’ll find a solution very soon. You need to slow down on Sunday and take it as easy as possible.

You’ll be very productive this week, Bull! On Monday you’ll put aside your mellow self and kick into high gear when Mars sextiles industrious Saturn in your sector of daily activities. You’ll expend a bit of elbow grease cleaning your residence and tackle paperwork with gusto. A legal issue crops up on Thursday. If you don’t want to get a parking ticket, observe all the rules of the road. Family issues rear up on Saturday and a relative will need assistance.

Get ready to have your hot buttons pushed this week! You have a very fiery temper, and someone who is well aware of your short fuse will tangle with you on Tuesday. Remind yourself not to let anyone manipulate you. On Thursday the Sun in assertive Aries squares intense Pluto and you’ll need to dig a bit in order to locate your inner strength. Don’t worry. You’ll find it. On Saturday you’ll be in a restless mood and unable to sit still.

Make sure you don’t close your eyes to reality this week, Scorpio! You’ll see only what you want to see in a certain situation in your life on Thursday. Make an attempt to be honest with yourself when the Sun in forthright Aries squares Pluto, your ruling planet. You’ll make a new list of goals for yourself on Sunday when the Moon enters your sector of hopes and dreams. Feel free to think big and include all of your aims and aspirations.

You’ll be uncharacteristically stubborn this week, Pisces. Usually you go with the flow, but on Monday you’ll be very dogmatic regarding a particularly hot topic. Do your best to consider all viewpoints before you alienate a close associate with your inflexibility. Don’t get discouraged on Friday. It’s true that you aren’t making progress as quickly as you would like in an endeavor. Consider if you’re setting the bar too high for yourself when the Moon opposes excessive Jupiter in Pisces.

GEMINI

ACROSS

Don’t procrastinate on Monday. You’ll run into trouble if you put off an important project. Remind yourself that a stitch in time saves nine, and take out your sewing kit when see a big hole in your sock. You’re normally very logical, thanks to your Air Sign, but on Friday you’ll be teeming with turbulent emotions. A former foe will reenter your life, as the Moon in your zone of adversaries is quincunx your ruler, Uranus. Keep your cool!

You’re the most idealistic person on your block, Centaur, and you know that! However, this week you’ll discover you need to do more than just wish upon a star in order to achieve your heart’s desire. On Monday you’ll combine action with thought. Make sure you’re very wary when you interact with an associate on Saturday. The Moon opposes deceptive Neptune in your communication sector and you’ll be faced with someone who has a false tongue and is deceitful.

No steel like old steel Bruce Bull heads an and a much later model CV carb for easier starting and trouble-free running. The gearbox and frame were freshened up, and he has added modern, Twin Cam brakes to make it stop. It features a foot clutch, a handoperated ‘jockey shift’, ape hangers and a Wide Glide front-end. The bright yellow paint with black flames turns heads, but he has copped a fair bit of criticism over his choice of colour. But it’s his bike, and he’s as happy as the proverbial hog with the way it turned out after two years of parts scrounging and some serious shed time. Choppers rule!

THERE’S E’S just something about a Harley-Davidson, and for some riders, like Mildura’s Bruce Bull, there’s nothing like old American iron. Agricultural it may be, but it is solid, dependable and can be quite a surprisingly good ride in modern traffic. Bruce’s Panhead rolled off the assembly line in 1954, but he acknowledges not a lot of the original bike remains – the engine, gearbox and frame are about it! He bought it as a basket case – someone had not been kind to the bike over the years – but Bruce could see the possibilities.

A new-look front & By MARTON PETTENDY

Now, a comprehensive midlife makeover for the second-generation Mazda6, barely two years after it was launched here in February 2008, has improved Australia’s most popular imported (and privately purchased) midsize vehicle in almost every respect.

$183,900

Significant price cuts across the board – by almost $1000 at base level – also make it an even better value proposition than before. Priced from $27,310, the cheapest Mazda6 now costs about $3000 less than Toyota’s locally produced Camry, now a sedan-only model bought mostly by fleets, and almost $7000 more affordable than the equivalent version in Subaru’s new Liberty lineup, which has outsold the mid-size Mazda so far this year but remains less popular than the top-selling Camry. The latest Six also brings with it a leather-lined Touring wagon variant – a direct response to customer demand for a more luxuriously appointed version of the Mazda6 loadlugger.

Differentiating the upgraded iteration from the two-yearold Mazda6, which already featured one of the most striking exterior designs in the sub-$60,000 mid-size category, is the adoption of the newest Mazda3’s ‘smiley face’ corporate front-end, injecting a new level of modernity and

Larger grille badges, foglights and various outboard bumper bezel treatments provide significant differentiation between garden-variety and top-shelf variants, though stylised side skirts now appear across the board.

While accommodation improvements extend only to the addition of a sunglasses holder behind the rear-view mirror in all models, the fresh availability of an optional top-notch seven-inch colour touchscreen with voice-control technology for audio and sat-nav functions puts the Mazda6 on par with European mid-sizers from BMW, Audi and MercedesBenz, as well as Lexus.

The 2010 Mazda6 changes run more than skin-deep, however, and although you’ll have to search hard to notice the differences, a solid day’s drive through some of Victoria’s most twisting bushfire-ravaged roads proved the subtle chassis revisions well worthwhile in what was an already highly capable dynamic package. Responsive and communicative steering has always been a hallmark of the front-drive Mazda6 and a reprogrammed electric steering control map to reduce assistance in a straight line makes the newest Six feel like it tracks on the highway with even greater stability,

‘bahnstorming’ 400Nm of torque but is said to be more responsive off the line and flexible in the midrange thanks to a smaller turbo, because first shipments are a month behind the 2010 petrol models and won’t hit dealer forecourts until April.

while revised steering mount bushings probably make it feel even more responsive at all steering angles. Eons ahead of the Camry in terms of reaction to input and feedback, the Mazda6’s steering is matched only by the likes of Honda’s Accord Euro in terms of liveliness in this class, but there’s still a noticeable difference between the cheapest and most expensive models when it comes to bump steer in lumpy corners. But if the entry-level Mazda6 Limited sedan’s steering kicks back a little more when the pace picks

up over broken bitumen, it lacks none of its pricier stablemates’ finesse in the dynamics department. All Mazda6’s offer a brilliant ride/handling compromise, with even the sub-$30,000 sedan offering an obviously well-sorted chassis that hugs the road about as well as many European rivals. Feeling lighter on its feet yet more solid than Subaru’s (all-wheeldrive) Liberty, the Mazda6 possesses both ride quality and cornering ability, aided by one of the most effective yet unobtrusive electronic control systems available, to shame the Camry in all

circumstances. Again rivalled only by the Honda in this department, the Mazda is agile yet well balanced, supple over the worst road surfaces yet super-stable during hard cornering, and has a cabin that’s well isolated from road, wind and engine noise, but remains an unadulterated, confidence inspiring drive – whether it’s the poverty-pack Limited four-door or the top-spec Luxury Sports hatch. Alas, we didn’t get to drive the upgraded diesel, which produces 4kW less peak power but the same

But we can say the tried and trusty 2.5-litre petrol four is as willing as ever, despite meeting tighter Euro 4 emissions regs and reducing average fuel consumption by one point in the base manual models, even if Mazda’s 2.0-litre MZR engine builds more revs more quickly and more cleanly in the Mazda3 – and in Japan’s Mazda6 (Atenza).

TOYOTA’S vehicle stability control (VSC) system is now standard across the four-door Corolla sedan range, bringing it in line with many of its key rivals and the upgraded five-door Corolla hatchback line-up released last November. However, while first examples of the safer small sedan entered production in Japan in December and are now available at Australian Toyota dealerships, the entry-level Corolla Ascent sedan misses out on the front-side airbags now fitted as standard across the hatch range.

Nor does the 2010 Corolla sedan score the revised front and rearend styling that distinguishes the 2010 Corolla hatch, which unlike the sedan now also comes standard at base level with Bluetooth and USB connectivity and a new steering wheel with multi-information switch. There are no price increases associated with the addition of ESC, which was already standard in the Corolla Conquest hatch and sedan, Levin ZR hatch and Ultima sedan.

One for the oirls at fishino classic

IF there’s a little luck involved in fishing, Mildura Senior College lab technician Kerry Whitelegg used up her fair share of it during the Wentworth Fishing Classic on Saturday. Fishing among snags under the willows lining the NSW bank of the Murray River, Kerry was lucky to drag a 41.2cm perch up from the depths through a tangle of submerged tree branches. Luckier still there was a net handy, because as she scooped it up, the hook came free and the fish dropped into the net. And as luck would have it, her fish was just a whisker longer – about 2mm – than the next biggest fish of the day, meaning she walked away with the major prize, a $7000 boat, motor and trailer package. Long-time anglers were surprised that an ‘average’ fish won the day – last year’s winner was the angler who landed a metre-long Murray Cod! There were no cod caught last Saturday, meaning Kerry’s fish was the longest native species, and it was an emotional scene at the official weigh-in and presentation when the 51-year-old was declared the winner. “I couldn’t believe it,” Kerry said later. “The time between the official measuring and the presentation of prizes was the longest 30 minutes of my life. “A friend I was fishing with said it might win me a prize, but I didn’t think it would be the boat and motor package.” Unlucky runner-up was Stan Nemtsas, who received a gift pack and $250 cash. Kerry and Stan were among 240 anglers to contest the fishing competition, held on the Darling River upstream to the Silver City Highway roadhouse, and the Murray River between Lock 10 and the Abbotsford Bridge. The fish were few and far between, with only 65 anglers landing a fish, and a total of just over 100, mostly carp, caught on the day. Most successful angler was Ronnie Freckleton, who landed five perch and six carp, including one at 66cm, giving him cash and other prizes for the most fish, and equal biggest carp. Taylor Whitehead won the junior award

for the biggest perch, and Brodie Stoll was excited to take off the prize for the biggest carp. They were among anglers who came from within a 500km radius of NSW, Victoria and SA for the event. The fishing competition, organised and

sponsored jointly by Wentworth’s Willow Bend Caravan Park and Baldwin Boats of Mildura, will be on again next year, and chances are it will attract many more entries once word spreads about the size of fish that won this year.

Cleary wants to play on despite injuries By VINNIE RODI

appearances against Zimbabwe. “Playing for Australia A was one of the biggest highlights of my career,” he said. “Every cricketer dreams of playing for their country, and in a way I was able to do that.” After what at first-glance appeared to be a breakout year, a back injury hampered Mark in 2004/05, constricting him to only eight Pura Cup (now Sheffield Shield) wickets for the season.

WITH Sunraysia Cricket Association action coming to a close last weekend, the Mildura Weekly thought it was time to catch up with one of the region’s most successful cricketers. South Australian all-rounder, and former Mildura Settlers spearhead, Mark Cleary, hasn’t enjoyed the best of years this season, with his side losing the Twenty/20 KFC Big Bash final to Victoria, before narrowly missing the chance to contest the Sheffield Shield final. What’s been even more frustrating for Mark is his individual form, which has been hampered by a serious stress fracture to his lower back. It’s an injury that saw him miss the opening months of the 2009/10 season, before battling back to be a major player for his side in the final games of the year. “This season hasn’t been the best injury-wise,” he said. “I’ve struggled with a stress fracture, and it’s been really hard to find form. “Obviously it’s something I can only look to improve next season, while also doing my best to keep my body injury free.” The all-rounder, who has spent the past eight seasons with the Redbacks, has seen the game undergo a number of changes since making his debut, with the rise of Twenty/20 cricket, the shorter and more exciting form of the game, just the tip of the iceberg.

Playing with the best He’s career has also seen him line-up with, and against, past and future stars of Australian cricket, including Mark and Steve Waugh, Michael Clarke, and Brad Hodge to name just a few. It’s a career that started in Mildura, with Mark making an impact on the local scene from a young age. At only 15 he found himself playing first division cricket for Setts, even going on to win his first premiership with the side in the 1995/96 SCA season. That Grand Final also saw Mark score his first century in senior cricket, becoming one of the youngest players to accomplish the feat. Over the next few years Mark continued to grow in confidence and ability, with his local career culminating in two Innes Medals, the first in 1999, when he was only 19, and second in 2002, the last season he played in Sunraysia. However it wasn’t until a season in England that an opportunity to

Injury woes

• POWER PLAY: Former Mildura cricketer Mark Cleary hits out for South Australia against New South Wales, before getting clean bowled against Victoria in the Twenty/20 KFC Big Bash final (INSET). play State cricket finally arose, with Mark jumping at the chance to live his dream. “There were a couple of players and coaches from State sides playing overseas, and I got to know quite a few of the South Australian boys while I was playing with Leicestershire,” he said. “I remember coming back to Mildura to play for Setts, which was around the same time Jamie Siddons (a former Redback and Australian coach) was playing here. “He encouraged me to make the move, and made some arrangements to get me a try-out, and everything fell into place from there.” Mark admits that his recruitment to the Redbacks arose partly from luck, and said that at the time it was hard for a “country boys” to get noticed. “To a certain extent it’s still the

case today,” he said. “While there are more opportunities for youngsters to develop and learn, for the most part selectors tend to focus on metro areas. “My advice to young players is to just put yourself out there, and be willing to move away to pursue your cricket. “While opportunities for Sunraysia kids are there, they’re just a little harder to find.”

Impressive debut Mark impressed SA selectors with his raw pace and power hitting, with the then 22-year-old making his first-class debut in the 2002/03 season. Mark’s pace catapulted him into Australia A selection in only his second first-class season, with 30 wickets in 2003/04 leading to two

Despite a slow first-class campaign, Mark starred in the one-day arena, and was crucial to South Australia’s run to the final in 2005/06, with an equal competition-best of 16 wickets. That same season also saw Mark score his maiden first-class century, smashing 109 runs from 104 balls against Tasmania. His follow-up season in 200607 was again disappointing, adding only six wickets from six one-day games, again due to injury. Season 2008-09 saw Mark tally his best figures for South Australia, while also finishing sixth on the competition’s first-class bowling table, taking 32 wickets, and also scoring best figures of 7/91 against Tasmania. Mark said that he had entered the 2009/10 season hopeful of continuing his good run, before the stress fracture limited his involvement for the first few months of the season. He managed to return for the KFC Twenty/20 Big Bash competition, where the Redbacks played Victoria in the Grand Final. Unfortunately for Mark, who struggled with both the bat and ball in that game, the Bushrangers proved too good, winning by 48 runs. Despite the loss, Mark said he was excited to see the Twenty/20 format do well in Australia, especially considering the success of similar competitions in India, and other parts of the world. “It’s definitely here to stay,” he said. “It’s proving to be big business for teams both in Australia and overseas, while attracting a number of international players. “And while it can be hard to find consistent form, because it’s such a hit and miss concept, it’s something that as a player I’m really enjoying.” No stranger to the short version of the game, Mark was first intro-

duced to Twenty/20 cricket prior to making his domestic debut. As previously mentioned Mark spent the 2003 off-season playing for Leicestershire in England, where he was part of the side’s winning Twenty/20 squad. The Grand Final was played in front of a 30,000 strong Edgbaston crowd, the biggest Mark has ever seen. “I can still remember the atmosphere,” he said. “It was very intense, and something I’ll never forget.” Since his debut, Mark has gone on to play 50 first-class games, 71 one-day domestics, and 22 Twenty/20 matches. And while he said he was confident of getting his body back to fitness, he admitted the ship may have sailed on national selection. “A part of me believes that if I’d been able to stay injury free I could have broken into the national side, and all I can do now is keep working hard,” he said. “Australian cricket has so much depth at the moment, and I’m sure there are quite a few players who would be ahead of me on the selection list. “While I’ll never rule it out, my focus is going to be on the Redbacks next year, and trying to stay injury free.”

Battle on Mark, who will turn 30 in July, said that while other cricketers had been tempted to call it quits after similar injuries and setbacks, he had no desire to turn away from the sport just yet. “My contract expires at the end of this season, and ideally I’d love to keep playing,” he said. “I had a good season last year, and it’s been disappointing and frustrating for me to not be able to back up this season. “I’m very focused on playing cricket for South Australia, and trying to add some silverware to the club’s trophy cabinet, which I so far haven’t been able to do. “I’ll keep battling away, and when the time comes to eventually give the State game away, who knows, I may pop up in Mildura again.”

New-look V8 Supercar Challenge SUNRAYSIA’S V8 Supercar brothers Rick and Todd Kelly will compete in front of the very best racing car drivers in the world this weekend when they race on the Albert Park Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. They’ll take part in three non-championship races over the weekend as part of the 2010 BRC IMPCO V8 Supercar Challenge. While there will be no championship points up for grabs, teams will be fighting just as hard to see who takes out the newlook Challenge format. The Challenge was introduced two years ago as a Holden versus Ford battle, rather than individual driver battle. But there’s been a shake-up this year which sees every team and driver racing for themselves in three 13-lap sprint races. Todd has a better record around the Albert Park circuit than his younger brother, winning races in 2005 and 2006. Reigning V8 Supercar Champion Jamie Whincup took advantage of the lead

up to this weekend’s Formula 1 Grand Prix to swap seats with reigning F1 champion Jenson Button, an experience he described as “unbelievable” despite his years of racing. Whincup told the V8 Supercars official website of the nerves he felt before beginning his run in the McLaren Mercedes F1 car. “You can’t be any more nervous than I am right now,” he told the website. “It’s the biggest opportunity of my life. It could be the best thing I do.” And he wasn’t disappointed. “I can’t really explain it,” he said after completing his run. “I had a little bit of a celebration with myself 50 metres (after taking off) because I didn’t stall; that was the hardest thing. “The strain on my head was unbelievable. I don’t get anywhere near the Gs in my car. “The Gs on your neck are unbelievable. I’ve got huge respect for their fitness. To do a full Grand Prix at that pace is unbelievable.” • Rick Kelly at the Clipsal 500 earlier this month.

Indigenous basketball alive and well in Mildura FOUR indigenous teams are into the Mildura Basketball Association finals with high hopes. The teams will contest the finals in four grades – the Under 12 junior boys, Under 16 junior boys, Men’s B grade and the Women’s B grade. The Wildcat Koori teams have been able to bring their considerable talent and skills to the fore when it most counted, winning their way to a finals berth with plenty of encouragement and support from team members, coaches, mentors and parents. The Under 16 boys game going into the grand final, in particular, was a thriller. There was plenty of tension and excitement for both coaches and spectators in the stadium as the lead changed several times in their match against Workers with the result hanging on the last throw of the game. A great deal of the credit for the teams’ triumph must go to coaches Russell and Leanne Taylor, but also to their respective parents and mentors for their ongoing support, Mildura Aboriginal Corporation Inc.

Doorslammers ‘drag’ in tourism dollars MILDURA will be reaping the benefits of last weekend’s Sunraysia Slamfest drag racing event for months to come according to Mildura Mayor Glenn Milne. The event attracted about 6000 people on Saturday and showcased the very best Top Doorslammer drivers and teams in the nation. It represented a first for the sport in Australia and put Sunraysia squarely in the national drag racing spotlight thanks to the quality of the Sunraysia Drag Racing Association’s one-eighth mile drag strip and facilities. Cr Milne said while the district received a massive economic boost during the time the teams and thousands of visitors were in Sunraysia, it’s the coming television and print coverage that will expose the area to hundreds of thousands more. He said the event was filmed by a plethora of cameras and will be screened on Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Fox Sports 3, SBS’s Speedweek, Fuel TV and TurboTV. Fox will repeat the event 30 times over coming months. Then there is the national magazine coverage. Cr Milne said he expected the event to receive widespread coverage from at least four major national monthly magazines, including Street Machine. He said while the event was a major success, it was much more than just a massive motorsport event. “This is not just about car racing, and that’s what we have to get

• MAIN ATTRACTION: Thousands of visitors flocked to Sunraysia for last weekend’s Sunraysia Slamfest. through to our businesses, houses and the general public,” the Mayor said. “It’s not about 5000 motorsport fans at an event. It’s about the fact that about 60 percent of those people were visitors and what that means is that they came to Mildura

and they spent money here. “It’s about employment and tourism income for our town and jobs for our kids. “Motor racing is simply the vessel in this case that provides an income back to our community and that’s what we’ve got to remember.

“We need to support this event and all the other major events like the Country Music Festival, the Mildura 100, major motorcycle races, major football and basketball events, fire brigade competitions. “All of those events have the

same bottom line effect on our community.” “It’s not about saying, ‘why do we need to be spending money on these events’. Not everyone will like every event that is hosted here, but don’t be negative towards them, because it’s our bread and butter and we need to keep holding these big events,” Cr Milne said. He said the teams themselves spent thousands of dollars in the district. “I was speaking to one of the teams and they spent $7000 in the four days they were here hiring marquees locally, accommodation and other expenses,” the Mayor said. His comments were echoed by Mildura City Traders manager Richard Morfaw who said there had been a significant increase in trade last weekend. “I have found that whenever a major event is in town, a good indicator of how it has impacted on the town is the food places, the supermarkets and outdoor stores like Aussie Disposals, as they always seem to reflect any trends during major events,” Mr Morfaw said. “On Saturday I went into Aussie Disposals to do a performance check between last Saturday and the same weekend last year and it was almost a 50 percent increase.” A major supermarket chain operating in Mildura meanwhile reported increases in trade of about 10 percent last Friday and Sunday, which is attributed to the Doorslammer event.

David wins new training jumpers DAVID Moe, 12, was the talk of the South Mildura Football Netball club this week, after a last minute decision to enter a national Kellogg’s competition saw him win 20 brand new football jumpers for his team mates. The competition was simple, visit the Kellogg’s website and submit one of the codes contained on a box of Nutri-Grain Muesli bars. “I was really bored at home so I thought I’d give it a go,” David said. “It was easy, all I had to do was fill in my details and write in the code, and then just wait.” What followed was something unexpected, with competition or-

ganisers sending a letter to David a month later to inform him he’d won 20 guernseys. “It was a shock,” he said. “I only did it for a bit of fun, I didn’t expect to win anything.”

Only in his second year at the club, the win has also made the Geelong supporter an instant celebrity amongst his team mates. “He’s been getting a lot of attention from the boys,” dad Frank said. “And even some of the older members of the club have stopped to congratulate him.” And while the bright blue jumpers don’t necessarily match the traditional South Mildura navy blue and white stripes, the club’s Junior president Phil Newey said the windall was one he was still grateful for. “The jumpers are going to come in handy when we host

Surf lifeboat title bid for Apex Park By ALAN ERSKINE HISTORY will be made in Mildura next year with what will be the world’s first – and only – inland beach surfboat lifesaving carnival. The big event, set down for October and expected to draw a crowd of up to 3000, will bring back many fond memories for Mildura residents who remember the Apex Park beach life-saving championships of the 1950s and 60s. The idea, the brainchild of Brighton, SA, Surf Lifesaving Club club member Allan Aitchison, has been enthusiastically embraced by the major events unit of Mildura Rural City Council. With word of mouth advertising only so far, interest in the inland carnival has already been expressed by clubs in all states bar the Northern Territory, with as many as 400 competitors expected from SA alone. Allan, 52, got the idea when he was on holidays with his wife in June last year, and they passed by Apex Park beach during a trip on the Paddlesteamer Melbourne. Fellow club members and other clubs in SA indicated their interest in the proposal, which has just been given ‘the green light’ by council and Mildura Lifesaving Club. Allan, a bronze medal holder and accredited surf rowing coach, said he could see the unique potential of a Mildura carnival, and expected that if 2011 was successful, the event could be included on the national surf rowing championships. The fact that there’s no surf in Mildura is a minor issue. Teams will race over a 400-metre sec-

tion of the Murray River opposite Apex Park. “Hopefully, it will be as big as Port Augusta, where we have 400 entrants,” he said. “This is our 14th year at Port Augusta, and the event has meant many millions of dollars for the port. “Because of its central location, Mildura is ideally placed to get many more entries than Port Augusta, and if it gets as big as the nationals in Queensland, Mildura could expect an influx of

between 3000-5000 rowers, family and friends.” The national events are televised across Australia, and any coverage like that would do much to enhance Mildura’s reputation as a holiday destination and sporting capital of inland Australia. Allan said surf lifesaving, and lifesaving in general, was a great volunteer culture for young people, keeping them fit and healthy, providing a vital community service, building long-term friendships, and creating many opportunities through networking. He admitted to some surprise that the Mildura proposal had been adopted by so many

so quickly, with interest from as far away as Scarborough in West Australia. “We haven’t started to advertise it yet,” he said. “When we do the flyers will go out to every surf lifesaving club in Australia.” Guy Couzner from council’s major events unit said the lifesaving carnival would fill in another weekend on the Mildura events calendar, and it was one which had huge potential to draw a new range of visitors to the district. He said it had been indicated that at least one boat would be found for Mildura competitors, and it was likely that it would remain in Mildura for use by local lifesavers.

AFL Grand Final experience up for grabs MILDURA’S young football lovers are being encouraged to register for the 2010 NAB AFL ‘Auskicker of the Year’ competition, with the winner to take centre stage at Melbourne Cricket Ground on AFL Grand Final day. An initiative of NAB, the competition aims to reward 22 ‘Auskickers’ for their team work, enthusiasm, commitment and passion to the game. The successful entrants will travel to Melbourne to march in the 2010 Toyota

AFL Grand Final Parade, play on the MCG at half-time, and present medals to the 2010 premiership players. Entrants will also be in the running to win a $5000 NAB Smart Junior Saver account, and personal footy lessons from superstar Geelong midfielder Joel Selwood. A dual Geelong premiership player, and NAB AFL Auskick Ambassador, Selwood said he was excited to be involved with the initiative.

“I urge all kids to register,” he said. “I’ve been lucky enough to experience three Grand Finals and those memories will stay with me forever. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed taking last year’s competition winner under my wing, and hopefully I can have a positive impact on another youngsters future development this year.” More information, or to register interest for the competition, is available by visiting www.nab.com.au/auskick.

Sunraysia

New kids on court TWO local volleyballers have taken the next step toward turning their chosen sport into careers after being awarded scholarships to the Sunraysia Academy of Sport’s Dunning Classic Homes Under 15 Volleyball program. Karly Bartlett and Kyahm Ross (PICTURED RIGHT) were both visibly shocked to be named recipients of the highly sought-after scholarship, accepting their new Academy positions, two of only 40 available (encompassing both boys and girls), in front of their new team mates on Wednesday night. SAS coordinator Vicki Telfer said both youngsters deserved their new positions, and will now need to work hard to take full advantage. “Both Kyahm and Karly have already put in the hard yards to get this far,” she said. “Apart from having immense talent, they’ve also demonstrated dedication to their current training regimes, both through the Sunraysia Volleyball Inc. competition and individually, while showing determination to improve.” Vicki said that while the program will help both youngsters develop their skills further, it will also open a number

of doors in terms of State and national selection opportunities. “Over the past few years Sunraysia volleyball has been very much on the rise,” she said. “We’ve had a record number of Victorian players originate from Sunraysia, and have a great pathway from local to national selection in place. “The opportunities are certainly there for these players, it’s just a matter of working toward their individual goals.” Vicki said both newcomers would start intense training sessions in a few months time, with opportunities to attend State training camps to also become available. “It’s all about taking training to the elite level,” she said. “In addition to increased training and development opportunities both Kyahm and Karly will also learn how to become athletes, and better players. “This includes learning more about nutrition, how to eat right, and how to maintain fitness the right way. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for both youngsters, and one I’m sure they’ll take full advantage of.”
