WHEN the giant toy-making company Mattel put out a nation-wide search for two ‘trainee toyologists,’ seven-year-old Tara Muscatello of Mildura put on her thinking cap, and dad and mum, Sam and Andrea, got out the video camera. Wearing some pretend glasses, wielding a whiteboard marker and acting like a professor, she turned to what she had written on the side of the fridge, and read it out for the camera… “…Toys + Mattel = fun. Mattel + Tara = brilliant!” Tara then got down on her knees to end her home video with the plea “please, please hire me.” According to Andrea, who did the filming, the family had a brainstorming session for something to catch the judge’s attention, before finally coming up with the professor and his special formula. And it worked, with the Mildura Sacred Heart School pupil last week being chosen as one of just two ‘trainee toyologists’ out of thousands of hopefuls from around the country to ‘test’ Mattel’s latest products. Tara and Nathan deNiese, 8, are now the envy of youngsters the length and breadth of Australia, and will now join Mattel’s official toy-testing team for a con-

And they also became instant television stars, newsmakers and junior celebrities, after an appearance on the Today Show on Wednesday, and electronic and print media over a wide area beating a path to their door. Mattel says Tara’s first ‘assignment’ has already taken place at the company’s secret lab at its Melbourne headquarters, where she and Nathan were responsible for testing, reviewing and reporting to ‘The Boss’ on Mattel’s top 12 toys for Christmas, which incorporated an all-day filming session for television. As a follow-up, Tara was sent five boxes of toys containing eight of the company’s best pre-Christmas ideas, plus a wide range of other products… including Elmo ‘tickle gloves.’ Not to mention a Barbie doll camper van, and fully equipped Barbie house, with lights, giant TV, a shower, a toilet that flushes, and a lift!

Regions ignored as an answer to urban sprawl By BEN PISCIONERI AUSTRALIA’S regional cities and towns could be the key to the nation’s future sustainability, but are being overlooked and neglected despite the rapid rate of urban sprawl. This is the view of Mildura Councillor Vernon Knight, who recently aired his views in the national media through the The Age newspaper. “The problem of urban sprawl is abundantly clear to everyone who daily needs to commute in capital cities, whether by car or public transport,” he wrote. Cr Knight pointed to predictions Melbourne’s population would reach seven million in the next 40 years and an almost five-fold growth in B-double truck traffic in the next 20 years. He says regional cities offer a solution, yet are seemingly being ignored by governments. “While there can be no argument about the need for more efficient freight and public transport, we would appear to have lost sight of the obvious solution - regional centres,” Cr Knight said. “As we rightly give attention to the needs of our capitals in light of their spiralling growth, we ignore the fact that many of our regions stagnate or decline. It makes little sense. “Surely the interests of Melbourne and the other capitals would be better served by focusing on measures that make regional Australia more viable and more attractive

• PLENTY ON OFFER: Mildura Councillor Vernon Knight says regional centres such as Mildura have much to offer in the wake of urban sprawl in metropolitan centres. as destinations to live and work. “Those of us living in the regions are all too familiar with their attractions. We choose to live here because we love the lifestyle, their liveability, their sense of community, room to move and clean air.” Cr Knight said government attitudes need to change if the problem of urban sprawl is to be addressed and Australians are encouraged to look to regional centres. “We clearly need governments that can get to understand what it would take to encourage their own rural living,” he said. Cr Knight said current government policies “only threaten access to affordable health in the regions” and hit out at plans to change the Youth Allowance scheme which he

says would “result in even more country kids failing to realise their potential”. His role as a long-time and passionate campaigner for a better rail freight network, and increased reliance on that network into the future also came to the fore in his piece. “The rail network is of third world standard which, in the case of Victoria, still languishes with a gauge network that our founding fathers sought to remedy through Federation,” he said. “Beyond that lack of vision, governments still seem to prefer to do their own business in capital cities.” He highlighted statements made by senior government representatives, which illustrate some of the thinking behind closed government doors.

“...we get statements like that of a Victorian senior bureaucrat, Campbell Fitzpatrick, from the Department of Sustainability and Environment, who prefers to publicly describe our regional residents as “climate change refugees”, presumably believing that the back-bone of our economy (farming) has no future,” Cr Knight said. “Ironically that blinkered view of the world leaves most states dependent on freight transport that is fuel inefficient and polluting, resulting in the growth of truck transport in the capitals.” Cr Knight argues the government is essentially ignoring the vastness of Australia and its potential, particularly the potential of regional centres. “How come they just don’t get it? Despite our

vast land, we insist on becoming one of the world’s most urbanised countries,” he said. Cr Knight pointed to Sweden’s model of decentralisation as an example of what could be achieved. “We would do well to consider the model for decentralisation in Sweden, which requires that a range of cultural, educational and social provisions are mandatory for regional areas when urban centres reach a certain size,” he said. “It’s the sort of planning that ensures that rewarding and fulfilling lifestyles become possible in ‘the sticks’.” Cr Knight’s opinion piece triggered a range of views from readers living in both regional and metropolitan centres.

“Congratulations Vernon Knight, you are indeed the voice in the wilderness. The dopes in Macquarie Street need to understand that New South Wales does not stand for Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong and there are many fine regional cities that can provide a great lifestyle with affordable housing.” – High Country man. “We in regional and rural areas can see this. Why can’t our ‘masters’? They talk and report, talk and report, ad infinitum. What it will take is the courage of their convictions. Oh, and I have just remembered. Aren’t there two important elections in 2010?” – Anna of Central Victoria.

Motorsport â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Meccaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a step closer

Christie Centre chips inâ&#x20AC;Ś

â&#x20AC;˘ Mildura Mayor Glenn Milne says a well-planned motorsport facility in north west Victoria would help local competitors achieve their full potential and contribute millions to the district.

By BEN PISCIONERI THE two councils at the heart of a master plan for motorsport in north west Victoria have given the green light to the next stage of the project. Both the Mildura Rural City Council and Swan Hill Rural City Council have just endorsed a project briefing paper, paving the way to find a consultant to investigate the feasibility of the project. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed a consultant could be appointed as early as February next year to begin the feasibility study. The initiative, contrary to some reports of one central all-inone motorsport complex, is based around a push to ensure the various motorsport disciplines and clubs in the north west Victorian region can reach their potential and develop further. The concept came to light earlier this year and could serve as a major driver for tourism in Sun-

raysia, not only due to its strong motorsport background but the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position between Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. The initiative, which is still very much in its formative stages, has led to discussions about the possible construction of a closedcourse bitumen race track which could host both bike and car racing, possibly based at Koorlong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claimed such a circuit could be utilised by visiting race teams and privateer drivers and riders, who would hire the track. In other areas, such as Winton Raceway, near Benalla, teams and competitors pay up to $8000 and $10,000 per day to hire the track. Track days are usually accompanied by an overnight stay in the district, which would mean a cash injection for Sunraysiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotels, motels, caravan parks and restaurants. However, unlike race tracks such as Phillip Island and Winton Motor Raceway, and most other

tracks in Australia, Sunraysia has the luxury of accommodation relatively close to where a track could potentially be built. In terms of the dollar potential of such a development, Winton Motor Raceway generates about $30 million each year for the area around Benalla. Mildura Mayor Glenn Milne said Sunraysia could realistically expect returns of up to $20 million a year from a similar facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at car clubs holding an event here for example. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bring 300 or 400 people with them and to have to have somewhere to stay,â&#x20AC;? Cr Milne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not afraid to spend money, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stay at our hotels, eat in our restaurants, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be up here to have a good time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do the figures it would create turnover in the millions and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking at.â&#x20AC;? Cr Milne said the majority of privately owned race tracks in

Australia are booked out most weekends, such is the popularity of these types of venues and the demand from car and bike clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would be a real commercial venture, one that would have be financially beneficial to the whole community, particularly the tourism industry,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cr Milne said if such a complex was built it could become a true multi-use facility, hosting events outside the motorsport sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the first thing we need to do is establish whether its viable and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a better position to go and speak to groups and individuals about their views,â&#x20AC;? he said. A working group has already been set up to drive the wider master plan concept, chaired by a CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motor Sport) representative - senior manager for sport and club developments, Michael Smith.

SURE CAN! Clients from Mildura Christie Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life Skills on Pine are the latest group to donate to the Mildura Weekly â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; food for the needy Christmas campaign. Donna Carrazza and centre volunteer Christine Roberts called, BELOW, in to the Weekly office on Monday with three boxes of foodâ&#x20AC;Ś collected from family or friends, brought from home or bought by the clients themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coordinator Anne-Maree Bunney said it was one of the most generous acts she had seen in the lead-up to Christmas, and assured the group their contribution would be warmly welcomed by the Salvosâ&#x20AC;Ś not to mention the disadvantaged people it would assist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stack of cans is growing slowly but steadily,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this keeps up the Mildura Weekly will be able to make a substantial contribution to the Salvos before their distribution of food hampers just before Christmas.â&#x20AC;? Ann-Maree said further donations of non-perishable goods would be welcome, and these could be left at the Mildura Weekly office any time during normal office hours Monday to Friday.

THAT painting could be yours!

IT is arguably one of the most poignant paintings to come out of the Mildura region – a CFA firefighter surveying the blackened remains of a fire-ravaged Mallee. Along with the famous photo of Sam, the koala accepting a drink from the water bottle of a firefighter, it typifies the frustrations, difficulties and heartbreak faced by firefighters during major disasters. Painted by the gifted local artist Sue Short, the two-metre by one-metre original and a framed print are now being raffled to raise funds for much-needed equipment to support the CFA’s Sunraysia Group Communications Vehicle. The painting itself is valued at $2000. The winner gets his or her choice of the painting or the print, with the ‘second choice’ being retained by the CFA as a permanent reminder of the hazardous work of its full-time personnel and the thousands of volunteers throughout the State. The painting is a back view, and Sue says there is a good reason

for this. It doesn’t depict any one individual firefighter, but it could be anyone… someone’s dad, brother, son, relative or friend who go into the front line year by year in the hope of preventing bushfires, or saving life or property in emergency situations. The raffle, supported by CFA Region 18 and the Sunraysia Fire Brigade Group, will be drawn just before Christmas, and organisers Sharon Burgess and Bernard Denner, a CFA volunteer, are hoping for a sell-out of the 2000 tickets available. Richard Morfaw from Mildura’s City Heart showed the commitment of city traders by buying $100 worth of tickets during a special promotion in the Langtree Mall last Friday, and several passers-by, attracted by the big red fire truck and colourful CFA volunteers, snapped up a few more. Tickets in the painting, entitled ‘Water On,’ are available from Sharon on 0458805980 or Bernard on 0419566750, or by email to dennerbj@bigpond.com.

Santa’s waiting for your letter THE Lions Club of Merbein has been appointed official liaison between Santa Claus and Sunraysia’s youngsters, all part of a community project that will not only put a smile on the faces of local children, but also help the region’s less fortunate during the Christmas period. Children are being encouraged to write a letter directly to Father Christmas before Wednesday, December 16, with the topic entirely up to them, and the Lions Club guaranteeing a non-commital return letter will be sent prior to Christmas Day. All letter-writers are asked to include $3 with their message, with all proceeds going towards assisting the communities less fortunate. Letters can be sent to PO Box 115, Merbein, Victoria, 3505, and must be addressed to Santa. More information is available by contacting Ian Kneebone on 5025 2470 or ming69@hotkey.net.au.

Canary club to host a major fund raiser

• SELLING POINT: Mildura artist Sue Short spent hours on the well-known painting, later offering it to the CFA for a major raffle… and she was also one of those to snap up a ticket when during the mall promotion last week. Writing it out is CFA volunteer Bernard Denner.

THE Sunraysia Canary Club will host its annual major fund raiser today, with the group set to host a market in Red Cliffs. The market will start from the Red Cliffs Newsagency, stretching down Indi Avenue, with a variety of items, including fresh fruit and vegetables, crafts, home made items including cushions, cooking utensils, and much more available. A raffle will also be held, with the major prize a Christmas hamper, and second prize a home made Christmas cake, with all raffle items donated by the club’s sponsors and members. All money raised will go toward the club’s annual show, which is due to be held early next year. More information is available by contacting Lorna Tieman on 5024 1944, or Jimmy on 5024 1434.

Fire destroys much more than a house By GRANT MAYNARD FOUR weeks ago Merbein South’s Hopcroft family lost everything they had but the clothes on their back in a house fire. That’s how they are reported – as a house fire, but what the Hopcrofts lost was much more... it was their home – a lovingly renovated construction from the turn of last century. One of the first substantial homes in the Merbein township, it was moved to Merbein South about 1956 with the Hopcrofts moving in about 14 years ago. It was the only home Natalie and Alan’s two children – Morgan, 12, and Harry, 10, have ever known, and it was filled with the treasures of a family that appreciated the workmanship and craft of a bygone age. These treasures were an eclectic mix of garage sale and ‘op shop’ finds, sourced from many places. “They were old things, handmade with love,” Natalie’s mother, Dawn McQuinn, says.

• FORLORN: The pergola stands, but the house beyond is gone. The Hopcrofts lost everything they held dear in the fire except each other. Now they intend to rebuild with the help of a supportive community. INSET: The sign that announced their home – ‘Cottonwood Cottage’. There were vintage laces and materials, favourites of Natalie’s, and Alan’s collection of old Tonka toys that once lined a wall in Harry’s bedroom, and the furniture the couple had lovingly restored. It was a cruel blow

when they lost it all as their home burned to the ground on October 30, the cause believed to be an electrical fault. In money terms insurance will cover a goodly portion of what the family has lost, but not in terms of its sentimental

and antique value. Much of what they had was irreplaceable, good friend Sharon Rodgers, said. “It was a beautiful house,” she said. “Like something out of a magazine.” “Natalie and Alan

and the children loved their home and it showed everywhere you looked. “There were display cases, the majority restored by Alan, everywhere, and they were full of vintage stuff.. like old jars full of even older buttons, cotton reels from years ago and lots of lace items. “Natalie had a collection of 1950s dresses, for example, that hung in the hallway, and in every room you could find treasures and curios large and small.” Now Sharon, along with another good friend, Renea Mensforth, and the wider Merbein community have started an appeal to assist the Hopcrofts get back on their feet and begin to rebuild... and that includes replacing some of their lost treasures. “We have been really fortunate with the amount of help we have been getting,” Sharon said. And support has been coming from all quarters. Fisher’s IGA stores have been helping out and now the Bendigo Bank

Santa’s Coming To

27/11/09 - Mildura Weekly

has come on board. “People wanting to help Natalie and Alan and the children can now make a donation at any branch of the Bendigo – at Mildura, Merbein or Wentworth,” Sharon said. At the same time, Renea has started collecting donations of antique and vintage goods at Sweet Lily, in Pine Avenue, Mildura. “Just the other day someone brought in a lovely old, and wellstocked sewing basket for Natalie. She was thrilled,” Sharon said. The Hopcrofts are presently living in a Mildura motel, but want to get back out to Merbein South as soon as possible. Sharon explained the Hopcrofts are also keen gardeners, and are determined that their garden will not suffer the same fate as their home. “They’ve said they will survive in caravans for a while if they have too,” Sharon said. The family intends to rebuild on the site, another reason they want

their garden to survive. “That rebuild might take a while,” Sharon said, “But they are determined.” In a letter to the Weekly, Dawn wrote: “It would be particularly wonderful if someone had a 1950s after five dress in their wardrobe that they no longer want or need... Renea at Sweet Lily would love to talk to you.” She continued: “We are also creating a ‘memory book’ of their home and would like to invite everyone who had visited the home to write their memory down and we will create a ‘Happy Days Memories Book’ ... fire destroys so many mementos of happy days that we need to create a new one.” And for readers who might recognise the name, Natalie is a dynamic teacher at Wentworth Public School... the school her children also attend. Anyone who would like to help the Hopcrofts can contact Sharon on 0427 965 595 or Renea on 0400 617 904.

You’ve read the books, and seen the TV series – now meet a bloke who was in the thick of the action

‘Underbelly’ cop comes to Mildura By ALAN ERSKINE

for just on four years. Snr Sgt Bateson is coming to Mildura on behalf of the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation and in support of the John Glen Resuscitation Unit at Mildura Base Hospital. It’s the first time such a presentation has been organised for Mildura, and police have invited interested people to meet Snr Sgt Bateson at the Mildura Club, from 2pm this Sunday, with his presentation starting at 2.45pm Tickets at $25 each, in support of the police charity, are available from Lauren or Ellen at the Mildura police complex in Deakin Avenue. Although I’ve never met

THIS is a story as you’ve never heard it before. Straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. It’s the story of Melbourne’s notorious underworld murders. One of the men who led the investigation, Senior Sergeant Stuart Bateson of the Homicide Squad and famous Purana Taskforce, will be in Mildura this weekend to tell the inside story, and show real footage of the underworld crime scene and some of its major players. This is not glamorous stuff. It’s cold, hard and factual, told by the man who was right in the thick of the action

Bateson, I have followed the story of the underworld murders closely, through a long professional association with The Age investigative journalist John Silvester, a multiple award-winning senior crime reporter, and also after having met some of the other key police figures of underworld investigations in years gone by. Met a few of the crooks too. It was Silvester who worked with myself and other Mildura media in the late 70’s and 80’s to publicise the huge marijuana crops of Mildura and Griffith, the Robert Trimbole story, the Dominic Marifioti murder and much more.

He is a best-selling author, a veteran crime reporter of over 30 years standing, feared by the underworld because of his detailed reporting of the seedier and frightening side of Melbourne’s criminal world, and held in high regard in law enforcement circles because of his detailed and accurate reports. I was in touch again with John earlier this week in relation to Snr Sgt Bateson’s visit. “Stuart’s one of the good guys,” John said. “He was the real life version of the police character Steve Owen, played by Rodger Corser in the ‘Underbelly series.’ “Stuart had a couple of

as a hard working homicide detective, a real life police hero who won a valour award some years ago.

It was clinical, it was deadly - and it was personal. So says veteran investigative reporter John Silvester, who has agreed to take Mildura Weekly readers down the incredible path of the 10-year gangland feud that shocked Melbourne. In Chapter One he tells of the…

Start of a bloody underworld war Special report, by JOHN SILVESTER of The Age MELBOURNE’S bloodiest underworld war began with a bang and whimper in a tiny park in the outer-western suburb of Gladstone Park near Melbourne Airport. Gunman, drug dealer and hothead Jason Moran made two decisions – one premeditated and the other off the cuff – that started the war that would wipe out his crime family. Moran and his half-brother Mark had arranged to meet amphetamine manufacturer Carl Williams to discuss mutual business inter-

ests. Williams talked in parks and public places to avoid police listening devices, and the Morans were happy to meet in an open space where they believed they could not be ambushed. The Williams and Moran families had trafficked drugs for years, and while they were sometimes associates, they were never friends. While they often did deals and begrudgingly cooperated when it suited, they were also competitors for a slice of the incredibly lucrative illegal pill market. While there were many reasons for their hostility, none were big enough to go to war – business was booming. Demand had increased

10-fold as amphetamines became a mainstream leisure activity. All dealers had to do was keep a low profile, source their pills and count the cash. But the niggles remained and the Morans, always quick to take offence, began to stew. At first it was a simple domestic matter: Carl Williams’ wife Roberta had previously been married to Dean Stephens, a friend of the Morans. The next was competition. Williams was undercutting his rivals, selling his pills for $8 compared with the Morans’ $15. The third was business. Williams had supplied the Morans with a load of pills. But he hadn’t used enough binding material and they were

crumbling before they could be sold. The fourth niggle was greed. The Morans claimed ownership of a pill press, and said Williams owed them $400,000. Carl disagreed. The problems could have been settled but the Morans, notorious for their short tempers and long memories, often relied on unreasonable violence to achieve what they wanted. The meeting at the Barrington Crescent park, no bigger than two suburban blocks and surrounded by brick veneer homes on three sides, provided the Moran brothers with the perfect opportunity to remind Williams where he stood – before they shot him off his feet.

It was October 13, 1999 – Carl Williams’ birthday. He had just turned 29. Williams would likely have felt in danger – the mid-week meeting was to be held in the afternoon in the open. Soon after they arrived, Jason Moran pulled a gun – a .22 Derringer. A woman nearby heard a man cry out, “No Jason,” and then a single shot. The gunman showed uncustomary restraint. Mark Moran urged his half-brother to finish the job, but Jason replied that they needed the big man alive if they were ever to get their money. • Continued Page 26

He’s a blockie’s son, selling his dad’s Sunraysia-grown organic dried fruit all over Australia. She is Indianborn, daughter of a proud couple of the Hindu faith. They met in a packing shed on an Irymple fruit block, and have been inseparable ever since. The Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE spoke to two families about…

Two weddings… and a love story WHEN Indian-born Jinal Raval travelled from Sydney to Mildura for a few days work on the fruit property where her parents were employed, little did she realise she would end up falling in love with the blockie’s son! The whirlwind romance had its sequel last weekend when Jinal married Jesse Jones, firstly in an Aussie-style wedding at Mildura Law Courts, and later with a traditional Hindu ceremony at Gol Gol. Although not uncommon in metropolitan Australia, the ‘twin’ celebration is believed to be the first cross-culture wedding of its type in Sunraysia. Jinal, 22, was born in the town of Ahmedabad, in the State of Gujarat near the capital Mumbai. In 2006, her father Darshan, who was in the export business, decided to pack up and move to Australia with his wife Arti, and Jinal’s younger sister Nirva, 13. After almost a year living in Sydney, Darshan and Arti were encouraged by friends in the Indian community to travel to Sunraysia to do some block work. Jinal, a receptionist with a real estate company, stayed in Sydney as guardian to Nirva. Just before Christmas last year, Jinal decided to making a flying trip to visit her parents, who were working at the Irymple organic dried fruit property and packing plant of Andrew Jones, where his son Jesse, 21, was farm manager. Jesse admitted he was smitten by the bright and outgoing young Indian beauty, and was delighted to find the feeling was mutual. He was a little lost when she returned to Sydney, and after many long distance interstate phone calls and emails, was ecstatic when Jinal and Nirva made the decision to join their parents in Mildura. That was four months ago, and the pair have been virtually inseparable, with Jesse finally making the move to ask Darshan for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Darshan admitted he needed time to ponder the proposed union. Marriage is a serious business...crossculture weddings even more so, and

•

WEDDING BELLS: Wedding Number 1 saw Jinal dressed in the traditional – and beautiful – white bridal dress for a service at Mildura Law Courts, while wedding Number 2 saw her ‘swap’ the dress for a traditional wedding sari and accompanying jewellery and adornments, designed and made in India, as was Jesse’s smart new suit. The couple spent a relaxing few days on a houseboat on the Murray River after the reception, and are planning to make their home in Mildura.

Darshan and Arti spoke at length between themselves before seeking

guidance, advice and approval with immediate family and relatives.

It was a nervous wait for Jinal and Jesse, but after a few long talks,

dinner meetings and outings, Darshan and Arti gave their blessing, as did Jesse’s dad Andrew of Ben Burn Organic Packers, and mum Krystyna Schweizer, known widely as ‘The Hat Lady’ for her extensive collection of weird and wonderful hats. The youngsters were overjoyed, and started making preparations for the big day. There was lots to do. Jinal and Jesse firstly had to organise a traditional Australian wedding, complete with beautiful white wedding gown, for the registry office service, and then help her parents organise a colourful, elaborate and exquisite wedding gown (sari) and other traditional clothing and ornaments for the Hindu ceremony. Darshan and Arti also used their contacts in India to have a customdesigned wedding suit made for Jesse, with a tie for the Australian service, and traditional Hindu scarf for the second ceremony. Marriage celebrant for the first part of the celebration was Mildura Law Courts Registrar Selina Pasut, while a friend of the Raval family, Gautam, led the bride and groom and their families through the rituals of the Hindu ceremony at Gol Gol’s Midway Centre. • Continued Page 26

Christmas is a time of giving... so give blood By GRANT MAYNARD CHRISTMAS is a traditional time of giving, and that is what Mildura’s Blood Donor Centre is banking on. What it would like is an ‘army’ of people like Mildura’s Barry Walker to swell the flagging stocks of this most precious of fluids. Barry made his 150th blood donation this week, a milestone the staff at Mildura’s Donor Centre in 8th Street between Pine and Lime Avenues have not seen before, but would like to see a lot more of. “We’ve got a few people with 100 on the board,” they say, “but 150 is very special.” Barry was only keen to tell us his story if it could be used to encourage more people to give blood on a regular basis. “I’ve been doing it for the past 40 years,” the 71-year-old said. “It started when I used to give blood in a mobile donor centre – it was a caravan on the side of the road – at Wyuna just outside Kyabram. “And I’ve just continued to do it ever since.” Barry has given blood all over the country... at Horsham, the Central Blood Bank in Melbourne, Adelaide, Bundaberg and Cairns in Queensland, and as far north as Darwin. “It was good in Darwin,” he recalls. “They used to give you a stubby after you had donated. “They used to do it in Mildura too, but times have changed and now it is a cup of tea, or coffee, or

• GIVING GENEROUSLY: Barry Walker made his 150th blood donation this week.

maybe a fruit juice with a biscuit or a piece of cake. “Not that I am complaining... it is nice to sit down afterwards for a few minutes and think about where my blood might end up and who it might help.” The blood given in Mildura can be used around the country.

Barry was awarded a medal marking his 100th donation and for his 125th donation was invited to the Queensland Governor’s tea party. “But I was back in Mildura at the time, and it seemed a long way to go for a cup of tea,” he joked. Since he retired, Barry has been

doing a fair bit of travelling, but no matter where he is, he always makes time to give blood. “It doesn’t take that all that long.. and I try to give every three months – the standard time between visits.” While we were talking to Barry and taking photographs, another familiar face popped in to donate

– Robert Rigby, former Wentworth Shire Council Roads Engineer, now retired, and a regular blood donor. “I started donating when I was a member of the Dareton Bush Fire Brigade years ago, and have kept doing it ever since,” he said. Robert has been recognised as a 50-time donor, although the actual number of donations is probably higher because records have not always been kept the way they are today. But, he is now working his way towards 100 and catching up to Barry if he can. Unlikely though as Barry intends to keep donating as long as he can. “It is a very worthwhile cause,” he says. 2009 is the ‘Year of the Blood Donor’ and Blood Donor Centre staff in Mildura would love to see more people walking through the door. The centre is open for donation between 12.30pm and 7.30pm Mondays and Wednesdays, and 9am to 3.50pm on Tuesdays and appointments are preferred. More information on donating blood is available by telephoning 5021 1757. Blood supplies nation-wide have dwindled in recent months, and there is a desperate need for some types. Now, say the staff at Mildura’s Donor Centre, would be a good time to start the Christmas giving tradition early.

December 5 is the 339th day of the year. Mozart died on this day in 1791, and guitarist, singer and songwriter J.J. Cale turns 70, but in Mildura it will be the day of the motorcycle...

One day when two wheels will reign By BRENDON GLEDHILL IT will, without doubt, be the region’s most comprehensive showcase on two wheels. Dubbed the ‘Spirit of the Motorcycle’ show, it will bring together an unrivalled collection of motorcycles. The display is the realisation of one man’s vision for a two-wheeled exhibition without precedent and he couldn’t be happier. It is not hard to tell Jeff Becker is passionate about motorcycles... and their place in the history of Mildura and the wider Sunraysia area. Now he has joined forces with three other local motorcycle enthusiasts – Mark Haynes, Merv Peters and yours truly – to put together the most comprehensive of displays detailing the history of motorcycling in Sunraysia. While the organising foursome come from distinctly different backgrounds, they are united by their passion for motorcycles. The aim, according to Jeff, is to bring together a wide range of rare, significant or interesting bikes with an emphasis on the owners making themselves available to talk to the public about their pride and joy. “Many of the machines to be on display are unique, or have served a specific purpose... that makes them particularly interesting to the organisers and, we are sure, to those attending on the day,” Jeff said. “People will be able to walk freely around the machines and discuss them with their owners.” The show will feature six separate categories of motorcycles – competition, Italian, British, American, Japa-

• ONE MAN’S VISION: Jeff Becker, ABOVE, has enlisted the help of friends like Mark Haynes (Haynes design), Dave Burford (Burco Plumbing) Paul Timmis (TransPacific Cleanaway) and Zoom Printing as well the wider Sunraysia motorcycling fraternity to stage next weekend’s show where one of the special interest bikes on show will be Phil Sedgmen’s BSA, TOP, while several of the coveted Vincent marque will also make an appearance. nese and veteran/vintage, imncludinmg many rare, significant or unique motorcycles in each category. The organisers said the “fine weather in this region has always ensured motorcycles have been a

regular mode of transport for many... and collectable and competition machines have always been high on the list of ‘must-haves’ for many enthusiasts here”. Mildura is famous around the world as the home of many fine, competitive motorcyclists, so it is no surprise that the display will feature many machines of significance to Australian and World motorcycling. Competition machines will include John Hederics’ Australian Safari Honda, which took him to victory in six Safari events. Hederics is one of a rare breed, taking a dominant hold for many years on the Safari – acknowledged as one of the toughest, and most gruelling, events in the world. The unique 500 BSA speedway machine that took Merbein’s Phil Sedgmen to many victories at Olympic Park and kick-started Phil Crump’s international speedway career will also be a highlight. This bike is part of the speedway legend. Mildura is known all around the World due to the exploits of riders from Olympic Park. During the course of the latest British speedway season, nine members of Mildura Motor Cycle Club were riding professionally over there. Many other examples of race machines will be exhibited, including the latest factory road racing Australian Superbikes, based on many of the available road going models. Other centrepiece displays include the record-breaking HarleyDavidson 1200cc ‘jump bike’, built in Mildura and piloted by Jack Walker, as well as classic competition

machines of yesteryear including a TriBSA, Cheney BSA, Velocette and Norton Wasp Sidecar scramble machines and senior, junior and sidecar speedway machines of today and yesteryear. Of the country of origin group, a fine collection of Italian machines will be shown and include marques like Moto Guzzi, Laverda and Ducati. The Ducati collection will be included a Mike Hailwood Replica – MHR Millenium, 750 Imola, 450 Desmo, 750 Sports, 900 Super Sports, 916, 250 and the exclusive Troy Bayliss Replica. “Many of these machines are

The Japanese contingent will include the ground-breaking Suzuki’s Katana, the rare RG Yamagamma 350, a Suzuki GSX1000, the popular Honda 750/4, the massive Gold Wing and speedy Bold’or, as well as Yamaha’s 50th Anniversary R1 and YL1, and the venerable Kawasaki 900 and 1000. The American collection will include the classic Indian motorcycle, and will also feature a strong contingent of Harley-Davidson machines including the Shovelhead, Panhead, Knucklehead, 100th Anniversary V

rare, and not often seen publicly,” Jeff said. British bikes to feature include a Triumph Thruxton and Bonneville, Douglas, BSA A65T and Bantam, Norton Commando and an Interstate variant, Vincent / HRD, Ariel, Royal Enfield and Matchless. Once huge in number, most of these machines are now in the

Rod, coveted Screamin Eagle machines and various personalised, custom machines. “Harley Davidson is the most individualised motorcycle on the planet, with many unique machines in existence, and owned locally,” Jeff said. • Continued Page 27

David’s a man on a mission By VINNIE RODI BRITISH adventurer, travel writer, environmentalist and good Samaritan, David Cornthwaite, was one tired individual when he arrived in Mildura on Tuesday morning, and with good reason. David is halfway through an adventure of a lifetime, travelling more than 2500 kilometres from source to sea investigating whether Australia’s greatest river, the Murray, is dying. His journey started six weeks ago in Biggara (near Corryong, Victoria), and should all go according to plan will end at the Mouth of the Murray in Goolwa, South Australia on Saturday, December 19. He has endured both physical and mental challenges, not to mention Australia’s harsh November weather, whilst exploring the Murray River by kayak, using a waterproof video camera to film a documentary for his website www.thegreatbigpaddle.com, uploading content and observations as frequently as possible. Upon pulling into Mildura’s growing Marina, David was greeted by Mildura Mayor Glenn Milne and Councillor Nick Cavallo, with the trio spending the better part of an hour discussing Mildura’s bid to become the solar capital of Australia. David, who is an avid environmentalist and firm believer in solar energy, was more than willing to share ideas, with the welcoming party providing gifts for the weary traveller. In addition to his investigation David is also on a mission to raise money for the AV Foundation, a charity close to his heart, and which for the past 15 years has distributed more than $430,000 to worthwhile projects on behalf of its volunteers.

The adventurer hopes that enough money can be raised through his journey to install solar powered drinking facilities in East African schools and communities, helping to improve the quality of life. David is no stranger to a life of adventure, with his last charity event, a 5823km skateboard journey from Perth to Brisbane, providing the idea for his latest journey. “I’d heard a lot about the Murray River, namely that it was facing a good deal of peril,” David said. “I then conducted my own studies and had my own preconceptions about what I was going to find.

“I’m yet to reach South Australia, and I’ll be reserving my final opinion until the expedition is over, but from what I’ve seen so far, I don’t believe the Murray is dying.” – David Cornthwaite “I knew that the only way I could discover what was truly happening was to travel the entire length of the river myself. “I’m yet to reach South Australia, and I’ll be reserving my final opinion until the expedition is over, but from what I’ve seen so far, I don’t believe the Murray is dying. “The recent drought has certainly made an impact in areas, and in some places, about 50 metres away from the bank, you can see that the surrounding Red Gums and other plant life is struggling.

“Despite this I strongly believe the river is always going to be sustainable.” David’s switch to a life of travel wasn’t one easily earned, with the London local a former graphic designer. “I got to a point in my life where I became a depressed 25-year-old,” he said. “I was sick of working nine to five, and was just never cut out for it. David said that his love of creating, which had led to his career as a graphic designer, had been the main drive towards his current profession as a travel writer and adventurer. “I love travelling and sport, and I was never one who could go the gym three or four times a week,” he said. “What I’m doing now is perfect, I’m out there seeing not only my own country but others like Australia, and the people I’ve met have been incredible.” David will now turn his attention to the rest of his journey, which resumes today, before setting his sights on two more paddle expeditions, one a 5600 kilometre journey between the UK and Africa on a stand up paddle board next year, and a 6500 kilometre canoe trip along the Amazon. His five-metre kayak will also be auctioned off for charity at the expedition’s conclusion, with donations also being received at www.justgiving.com/greatbigpaddle More information is available by visiting www.thegreatbigpaddle.com or www.davecornthwaite.co.uk. • WELCOME: British adventurer David Cornthwaite is welcomed to Mildura by Mayor Glenn Milne and fellow councillor Nick Cavallo, who presented him with a hat and other gifts… and then Dave headed off to the Mildura Brewery pub to sample a cold Mallee Bull.

It’s 60 years since they started selling sheep The Yelta Saleyards are a local landmark

IT was a day of heat, sheep, flies, and meat and chutney sandwiches when Elders hosted its second sale of the year at Yelta last week. They’ve been selling sheep at Yelta for six decades, and there is probably no-one working at the yards who is more familiar with the complex than Elders’ Ian Masters. He’s been with the company for 43 years, and attending sales at Yelta since the early 1970s. As well as being a familiar face around the yards – he clerks Elders’ sales and keeps meticulous records – Ian is a keen amateur historian, and very interested in the bygone days of the complex, and the people who have been a part of the operations there since the late 1940s. The saleyards, he explains, date back to 1948 when about five hectares (12 acres) of land was purchased on the site by the two stock and station giants of the time – Elders Smith & Co Limited and Goldsbrough Mort & Co Limited. The date was November 11, 1948 with the saleyards’ intended position giving unfettered access to the railhead at Yelta – the then Victorian Railways having plenty of input into the plan. The original saleyards were constructed of timber by Len Reynolds and completed in 1949. Much of that original timber has been replaced with more durable steel in the years since, mainly during the 1970s and 1980s. The yards were officially opened by Mr A. W. Barnfield, then president of the Graziers Association and Wentworth Pastures Protection Board, in October of 1949. There is some conjecture about exactly when the first sale was held at Yelta, but according to Ian’s records the date was October 18, 1949, under the auspices of Goldsbrough Mort & Co Limited.

His records show that 9256 sheep were yarded for auction, and sold by a R. M. McKenzie. “Elders Smith & Co Limited staged their first sale (and the saleyards second auction) on November 22, 1949,” Ian said.

“Elders yarded 18,682 sheep and the auctioneer was Eric B. Reid. “Some people say the first sale wasn’t staged until 1950,” Ian says, “But according to our sale records the year was 1949.” That sale record is a trea-

on and still selling strong! sured dog-eared book that contains the details of Elders’ very first at Yelta to the present day. And there are some familiar names amongst those selling sheep in those initial two yardings. The first was Jim Grace, from Milpara Station, via Wentworth for one. The Graces still farm Milpara with Jim’s son, Bill, his wife, Elaine, and their son, Jacko, now running the property. Another was Jock Wheeldon, selling sheep under the Wyndham/Willow Point Props banner. Jock was the father of Wentworth Shire Councillor, Bill Wheeldon. Willow Point is now owned by Bill’s cousin, Malcolm Whyte, while Malcolm’s son, Angus, now has Wyndham. One of the earliest innovations of a number that have been included in the yards over the years was an irrigation spray system, installed by Bob Sandy in 1950. It was used to water the saleyards from a pump on the Murray River to grow some grass to keep the dust down. Although much modified, it is still in use today. The bit about the dust sounds familiar doesn’t it? Must have been as dry then as it is now! Other additions over

• THEY WERE GOOD DAYS: There will be some familiar faces for some readers amongst this group, in a photograph taken, it is believed in the early 1960s at Yelta. From left to right, these men are Arthur Smith, Len Wright, Jock Wheeldon, Bert Withers, Don Hill, Bill Hill and Godfrey McLeod. Our thanks to Roger Smith for the photograph. the years include the toilet block built in 1967, and the new canteen in 1976 that according to saleyards stalwart Marilyn Barnfield replaced a

tent she remembers from the early days. Marilyn is another familiar face at Yelta... she’s been serving sandwiches and re-

freshments in the tent, and later the canteen, for decades. “I did have some time off when I had the children,” she

says. “But yes, I have been here a lot!” The saleyards were built predominantly to service the vast grazing areas of New

South Wales’ Western Division, with most of the stock sold there over the years coming from that area. However, there have been times when sheep have come from further afield including New South Wales properties all the way up to the Queensland border, South Australia, Balranald, Euston and the Millewa. Perhaps a little surprisingly, Ian explained that very little stock sold at Yelta has ever come from Victoria, despite the yards being in that State. Most Victorian sheep are, and have been for decades, sold at places like Ouyen, Swan Hill, Wycheproof and Bendigo. The yards at Yelta actually replaced an earlier complex at Gol Gol, with the railhead at Yelta being the major influence on their position interstate. “I am not sure how long there was a sales complex at Gol Gol,” Ian said. “It is one of the many things that I would like to find out.” Although it has now been many years since sheep have been transported by rail from Yelta – the last recorded movement was in 1976 – there have been some impressive numbers in the past. • Continued Page 25

Toad hitches an interstate ride WHEN Adelaide couple Juleene and Russell Lockett came all the way from Byron Bay to Mildura earlier this week, they didn’t realise they had inadvertently picked up an unwelcome ‘passenger.’ When Juleene opened up her passenger-side door of the couple’s fourwheel drive, out jumped a deadly Queensland cane toad! The couple had called in to Mildura to visit relatives on their way home to break up the trip. They were turning into the 19th street driveway of retired Red Cliffs used car dealer Bruce Montgomery when Juleene noticed the frog under her feet. Bruce, 68, said he was outside as the car pulled up, and wondered why Juleene exited the vehicle in such a hurry. Then he saw the frog make a bid for freedom, jumping out and hiding under the vehicle. “ T h e y thought it was a bullfrog and wanted to kill it, but my daughter Sue had just pulled up also, and I thought her boys might be interested in having a look at this unusual frog,” Bruce said. “It wasn’t until I took a closer look that I realised it

Cane toads on the move

• LEAP FROG: Bruce Montgomery’s grandsons, Josh, 12, and Daniel Thompson, 10, with the Queensland cane toad. BELOW: They can get really big! might have been a cane toad, and this was confirmed when we took it to the Department of Agriculture at Irymple. “They have asked that after we have taken some pictures and had a close look, that we pass it on to them. They said they would euthanase it by

freezing, and keep it for scientific purposes.” Bruce said Russell and Juleene couldn’t explain how the cane toad came to be in their vehicle, as they had been at their son’s new house, about 30 kilometres from Byron Bay, and nowhere near what could be considered recognised cane toad territory.

But he said the pest was obviously more widespread than he thought, and the toad – thought to be a juvenile – had obviously attached itself to one of the boxes or a piece of luggage that the Locketts had packed into their vehicle before the trip home. “It took them two days to get to Mildura, so the

cane toad was with them all that time,” he said. “It makes you wonder just how many times this has happened, and where some of these pests have ended up.” The Locketts left for Adelaide the next day… after a careful search of their vehicle just in case there were more cane toads on the loose!

Mallee Family Care Annual General Meeting Incorporation No: A1982

Celebrating 30 Years

A NATIVE of Central and South America, cane toads were introduced to Australia in 1935, when 3000 were released into sugar cane plantations in Queensland. This was done in an effort to control two other introduced species – French’s Cane Beetle and the Greyback Cane Beetle, which were causing significant damage to sugar cane crops. The experiment didn’t work. The beetles survived, and the cane toad went on to become one of Australia’s most highly invasive species, currently occupying over 500,000 square kilometers of Australian mainland, with densities reaching up to 2000 toads per hectare. Cane Toads have now spread rapidly throughout northern Australia, and are now found throughout Queensland, NSW, and the Northern Territory, and parts of WA. Cane toads reached the NT in 1984, and by 2001 had reached Kakadu National Park. Three years later they were in Darwin. Many people and groups are acting to stem the cane toad tide. Areas in the Top End have been targeted during the early wet and early dry seasons, and between 2005 and 2008, around 343,000 adult cane toads have been destroyed. But more have found their way off-shore, probably washed out to sea on flood waters and onto the shores of nearby islands. Cane toads can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, are prolific breeders, and can live a long time. They are found both in urban areas as well as bush, grassland and forest country. They are prolific breeders, with the female producing between 8000 and 35,000 eggs at a time. Breeding occurs at least twice a year, normally between June and January. Toads grow particularly quickly in the tropics, and can reach sexual maturity within a year. In captivity toads have been able to survive for up to 15 years. They are opportunistic, omnivorous feeders, with a diet comprising living and dead plants, carrion, dog food, excreta of other animals, household refuse, small vertebrates, and a range of invertebrates. • Continued Page 26

DSE helping Aboriginal youth find new careers By VINNIE RODI A TRAINEESHIP launched by Mildura’s Department of Sustainability and the Environment is aiding members of Sunraysia’s indigenous community expand their career options. Entitled the North West Indigenous Trainee Program (NWITP), the initiative aims to create employment opportunities for trainees, whilst imparting as much practical and educational knowledge as possible. Trainees essentially become DSE employees for the program’s duration, earning a wage whilst learning and undertaking jobs for the organisation. This year is the first time the traineeship has been conducted, with project coordinator Ted Kelly saying

the onus was on providing participants with employable skills. “At the moment we have eight participants undertaking the traineeship,” he said. “Ideally we’d like to see each of them find employment. “This traineeship is all about creating opportunities, and providing trainees with a chance to learn new skills that could help them secure full-time work.” Mr Kelly said that the aim of the program was to provide participants with as many employable skills as possible. “The aim is to ensure trainees can apply for a number of jobs in a number of different areas relating to conservation and land management once they complete the program,” he said. “So far the program has

included training with both DSE and TAFE, including participants completing their Certificate III in Land Conservation and Management.” Mr Kelly said that in addition to the theoretical side of the industry, participants had also enjoyed hands-on practical experience in a number of areas including helping the DSE conduct burn-offs, undertaking quad biuke lessons and obtaining truck, car and motorcycle licenses, and learning about the proper procedures associated with recognising, collecting and preparing plant specimens, trees and shrubs . Mr Kelly said that there were a number of job opportunities within Sunraysia that utilised the skills being passed on. • Continued Page 29

Birthday

Sunraysia Auto Group turns 5!!! MARKWELL’S Sunraysia Auto Group is celebrating its fifth birthday this year, with the region’s number one car dealership enjoying steady growth, and substantial success, in that time. Since taking ownership of Sunraysia’s Toyota dealership in August 2004, Dealer Principal Rod Markwell, along with his dedicated staff, has turned the businesses into not only Mildura’s number one dealdeal ership, but on several occasions the country’s best dealership. In 2007 and 2008 the group’s Sunraysia Prestige dealership rereceived the BMW Dealer Trophy, while the Toyota section won the Dealership of the Year, and National Training Award, also in 2008. Since then the group has continued to provide the best service for ‘all things wheels’, with the launch of its Hino Truck Centre, which is currently being constructed at 38 Seventh Street east and is set to be opened midway through 2010, another example of the group’s long-term development. And while Rod said that the business had enjoyed numerous successes during his time, with the development of the Mazda, BMW and Hino truck elements amongst the many highlights and achievements, he said none of it would have been possible without

the support of staff, and the Sunraysia community. “One of the key highlights for me over the past five years has been our growth,” he said. “We’ve gone from having 19 staff members in 2004, to 43 staff in 2009. “Reaching such a significant milestone wouldn’t be possible without a dedicated staff, and it’s thanks largely to them, our suppliers, and the community that we can celebrate this achievement. “We’re all very proud to have reached this milestone, and are looking forward to celebrating our fifth birthday with the community. “We are all very proud of the service we have been able to provide over the last five years, and each of us is looking forward to what we hope will be continued success and excellence in the future.” As part of birthday celebrations Markwell’s Sunraysia Auto Group will offer a special deal for all Mazda and Toyota vehicles in need of a service, with the cost to be only $119.* “It’s a way for us to say thanks to the community that has supsup ported us, while continuing to supply the best service in Sunraysia,” he said. * Conditions Apply

Prepare your home for a hot sale this summer the back yard, where buyers will envisage an area for the kids and a space

to entertain. SUNRAYSIA & DISTRICT

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love their barbecues in summer and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go past a good functioning back yard,â&#x20AC;? Robert J Stephens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make sure the barbecue is in clean and looks to be in good condition, ensure the lawn is always mowed and presentable, and the landscaping is tidy with beautiful healthy plants that have been well-watered in the days leading up to any inspections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the day of the inspection, give plants a light spray of water for a clean crisp look if water restrictions are not in force in your area.â&#x20AC;? Home owners should consider hiring or borrowing some plants, especially leading up to the front door. For those with a pool or spa, be sure to keep them sparkling clean and leaffree from crystal clear water to clean tiles at the top and bottom of the pool. Make sure any pool equipment is neatly stored away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the fence, gate, paths and decks. These should be thoroughly cleaned of dirt and any cobwebs and free of peeling paint,â&#x20AC;? Robert J Stephens said. Other tips for selling a property in the summer are: -Schedule inspections for a time during the day when rooms are bright and have maximum sunlight shining in, but preferably not the hottest part of the day. -When having an open house, limit the number of people in the property at any one time. Too many people may make it appear smaller than it really is and reduce the viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential to see the possibilities of the property. -Keep pets out of the property during inspections and music at a minimum. - Get rid of unsightly garden rubbish which detracts from the appeal of your garden. This goes for the garage, old sheds and any outbuildings.

Spring and summer are the most popular months to sell a home and Collie & 34 Tierney First National RealWentworth Estate has some advice on how to make your Darling Street SERVICING home the hot item this summer. According to Robert J Stephens, Principal, Collie & Tierney First National Real Estate, homebuyers thoughts will naturally turn to patios, outdoor entertaining areas, landscaping, air conditioning and pools during the warmer months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First impressions are critical and nothing is more off-putting to a buyer than entering a stuffy, hot house on a 30-degree day, which is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to make your home summer-friendly,â&#x20AC;? Robert J Stephens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With sunny days and gorgeous blue skies, everything is on display. Flowers will be in full bloom, trees will be fully leaved and yards should be kept as tidy as possible.â&#x20AC;? Walking through the front door, homeowners should assess the first impressions created and position furniture so that rooms have an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;openâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feel. Place fresh flowers in vases and pictures on the wall to give the property extra vibrancy. Remove any clutter, and while family photos are great, limit them to no more than three. Be sure to have the kitchen and bathroom spotless and any used towels replaced with clean ones. Most importantly, ensure any items requiring maintenance have been taken care of such as door handles, torn fly screens, broken window latches, light switches, light shades, leaking taps, doors opening and closing properly and clean carpets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have air conditioning, make sure it is in good working order and put it on when you are expecting potential buyers to be coming through,â&#x20AC;? Robert J Stephens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have air conditioning, make sure you open as many windows as you can to let in the fresh breeze and keep windows clean.â&#x20AC;? According to Robert J Stephens the key area of a property during summer is

Six decades on and still selling strong • From Page 15

hectares (400 acres) on July 1, 1970. The lease was relinquished on September 17, 2001 after not being used for many years, its demise the result of modern transport efficiencies and changing husbandry practices. “I can also remember when sheep were also kept over at Wakefield’s on Tucker’s Creek at Curlwaa prior to a sale,” Ian said. “Drovers would then walk

them across the Abbotsford Bridge in time for the sale... we weren’t popular with the travelling public when that was happening,” he recalls. “Especially when it usually coincided with morning ‘peak hour’.” He describes it as a regular occurrence in the 1970s. The saleyards are still uti-

lised regularly today by both Elders Rural Services Australia and Landmark for their sheep sales. However, Ian acknowledges that the frequency, and in many cases the size of the yardings at Yelta has decreased over the years. However, it remains an important selling centre, he

says, but de-stocking forced on graziers by the ongoing drought was one reason numbers have been down in the past decade or so. “The national flock numbers are well down on the past,” he said. Another reason is the increasing amount of grazing land now being protected as

national park, Ian says. “This has reduced the carrying capacity of the Western Division and therefore number of sheep for sale,” he said. Last week, for example, Elders staged just its second sale for the year, a yarding of 13,000 Merino sheep and lambs. There was wide interest in the sale from three States, and the prices were good. And, an optimistic Ian says, a few good seasons would see the frequency of sales, and the numbers of sheep offered for sale, increase. A livestock auction is a frantic affair, with the bidding almost impossible to follow if you have never seen it before, and are not ready for the speed at which the auction proceeds. And amongst all that was going on that day, there was Ian, as he has been so many times before, spotting bids and keeping the paperwork in order, a Yelta record the historian in him is keen to see retained for posterity. • FOOTNOTE: Ian would appreciate any historical information about the Yelta Saleyards, or relevant photographs. You can contact him at Elders Mildura on 5021 8888 or by mail at P.O. Box 5025 Mildura 3502.

Records from the 1950s show that one sale resulted in 168 vans (stock carriages) of sheep leaving the siding following a particularly large sale. There are some other impressive numbers too. The record yarding for a single sale at Yelta is 37,359 sheep on December 13, 1977 while the record for a (financial) year was 1977/1978 when 348,930 head of sheep were sold. The largest number sold in one lot was 3341 wethers, from Lake Victoria Station, on September 15, 1953. According to the available records about eight million sheep have been sold through Yelta since 1949, although Ian admits it could be many more. “Unfortunately, we’re missing records for a number of sales, particularly between 1980 and 1985,” he said. All sales for Elders were controlled through its Wentworth office until the livestock operations were consolidated at Mildura in 1990. Another interesting fact from a now bygone age is that there was once grazing licence held for the area around the yards. This allowed sheep to be brought in some time before a sale and kept in good condition until sale day. In 1951 the licensed area was 900 hectares (2226 acres). That was reduced to 886 hectares (2191 acres) in July 1952, to 284 hectares (700 acres) on October 1, 1968 and 162

Cane toads on the move • From Page 16

When cane toads are threatened, they release a toxin from the glands behind the eyes and across their back. All stages of the cane toad’s life-cycle are poisonous, including the tadpole stage. This means they negatively impact a wide diversity of wildlife, including Quolls, goannas, frogs, snakes, fish, freshwater crocodiles and egrets. Pet dogs and cats are known to have died after tackling cane toads. In parts of Queensland, some populations of native animals were dramatically reduced when the toads first arrived. Other threats to native wildlife

include competition with native animals for food and resources. Cane toads are also known to carry diseases such as salmonella which can spread to native frog and fish species. They can also be a nuisance by blocking drains and fouling water holes, drinking troughs and swimming pools. After ingestion, signs of poisoning in dogs and cats include copious amounts of frothy saliva, twitching, vomiting, shallow breathing, and collapse of the hind limbs. Death, through cardiac arrest, can occur within 15 minutes. In humans the poison may cause intense pain, temporary blindness and inflammation.

Williams’ reputation and power grew New with every ‘hit.’ Heversion began to reshorter for fer to himself as “The Premier,” because “I run this f…… state”. But to detectives, he was still “The Fat Boy.” Police say Williams was certainly connected to 10 underworld murders and would have kept killing if he had not finally been jailed. He will never face charges over many of the murders he arranged after cutting a deal with police that gives him some chance of release one day. His only remaining hope is that he will die a free old man. • NEXT: The rise, and rise, of a drugdealing heavyweight and meet John Sylvester, theshorter man behind the sto-fo original version ries and the journalist who, more than anyone else, has reported on the bloody underworld war.

One day when two wheels will reign • From Page 12 The veteran and vintage section will include famous marques like BSA, Triumph, Pasco, Panther, Norton, HRDVincent, Matchless, Ariel and Velocette. Amongst the most interesting is the Australian-built Pasco, manufactured in Melbourne towards the end of the First World War and based around a 770cc JAP engine. This machine is equipped with carbide lights, a claxon horn and is belt driven, a rare collectable piece and locally owned sine the 1960s. Some wonderful Vincents are owned locally and a selection of solos and sidecars will be on display. Not only will the bikes be on display, but the event organisers are delighted that so many owners are willing to be around to discuss the

history and significance of their bikes. “It should be a pleasant Saturday afternoon with something of interest for anyone interested in two-wheeled transport,” Jeff said. The venue will be Nichols Point’s Wooden Eye Winery, and the show is set to open to the public at noon. The easiest way to get to Wooden Eye Estate Winery is by travelling straight out 11th Street East and turning right into Dewry Avenue. The winery is easy to spot on the right. Proceeds from the modest entry fee will be donated to Mildura’s Mallee Accommodation and Support Program, a well-regarded local charity supporting homeless youth.

Aboriginal youth finding new careers • From Page 18 “There are definitely opportunities within the DSE and other conservation and land management organisations around town that this training would be ideal for,” he said. “Some of the trainees have already expressed an interest in continuing their firefighting training, eventually earning a place with the DSE or one of Mildura’s brigades, while others want to continue to study land management. “The great thing is that this traineeship provides training in a number of different fields, allowing participants to decide where their personal interests lie.” The traineeship originally started a year ago, with more than 60 people applying. After sifting through a long list of candidates and conducting interviews, eight participants were chosen. “It was a very tough process,” Mr Kelly said. “A number of people that we were forced to knock back would have been perfect. “Thankfully we made the right choices in terms of who we selected, with each of the original eight trainees still with us, which is extremely positive.”

• NEW HORIZONS: Terry Thomas goes to work with the mini-buldozer, making way for a new fence line, with Thomas Kennedy and Warren Bates observing (ABOVE), while Rodney Cromelin assists the DSE’s back-burning efforts (LEFT).

One of those participants is 21-year-old Thomas Kennedy, whose involvement in the program has seen him not only learn new skills and develop

better literacy levels, but also discover a hidden passion for firefighting. “Before I started I was unemployed,” he said. “From the moment we started our firefighting training with the DSE I knew it was something I wanted to do. “If that fails I wouldn’t mind continuing to study conservation and land manage-

ment, because I think it’s a really interesting profession. “I’ve learnt a lot about what I want to do thanks to this program, and it’s been something that I’m glad I’ve done.” Mr Kelly said that while the program has so far been a complete success, the next challenge would be finding trainees employment once the traineeship ends in four months. “Most of these guys are ready for employment right now, and we’re actually in the process of helping a couple of them write resumes and prepare for interviews,” he said. “Our main goal is to see all of the trainees working, either with the DSE or other organisations and local businesses, and if we can secure jobs for each of them then we’ve done our job.” Mr Kelly said that the DSE would also look to continue the traineeship next year. “We’ve been very happy with how the traineeship has progressed this year, and it’s something we’re definitely looking to offer again in the future,” he said. “To be able to help kids like Thomas find something they enjoy, whilst teaching skills that could help secure fulltime work is something we’re happy to be a part of.” More information about the NWITP is available by contacting Ted Kelly on 0437 124 317.

Making Victoria FireReady:

Ten things you need to do now to prepare for the fire season.

Experts predict that Victoria is facing fire conditions this summer every bit as bad as last fire season, and possibly even worse. No matter where you live, there are things you must to do to prepare and make sure you’re FireReady. This is even more important if you live in a bushfire prone area.

If you live in regional bushfire prone areas: 1. Prepare your property. Good preparation will give your home a greater chance of surviving a bushfire, even if you do plan to leave early.

7. If you are on holidays or travelling in Victoria this season, plan ahead, check the weather forecasts and be alert to any fire warnings – tune into your local ABC radio station.

2. Assess whether your house has sufficient

8. Rural landholders, primary producers,

defendable space by using the CFA Household Bushfire Self-Assessment tool, found at www.cfa.vic.gov.au

tourism operators and other businesses should consider the insurance required to protect them if fire damages or destroys property and affects assets and income. Consider consulting a specialist rural insurance or business insurance broker.

3. Develop a written fire plan and then practice it. If you have pets, other animals or stock, they need to be part of your plan. Larger properties should prepare a livestock fire plan (www.dpi.vic.gov.au)

4. Prepare a relocation kit with essential items packed in sturdy containers or bags.

5. Fire Danger Ratings have changed. Factor this information into your fire plan and be aware of the ratings on a daily basis during the season.

6. Find out what’s happening in your community. Attend a Fire Ready Community meeting. Join or form a CFA Community Fire Guard group in your local area.

9. If you own property in one of more than 50 areas identified as most at risk, get involved with your local CFA. Know what your area’s Township Protection Plan is and how this impacts on you.

10. Look and listen for information. Tune into your emergency broadcasters ABC radio, local radio and Sky News TV. Visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au or telephone the Victorian Bushfire Information line 1800 240 667. Keep in touch with what’s happening in your community.

Don’t delay. Start work on your fire plan and begin preparing your property now. For a free FireReady Kit, call 1800 240 667 or go to www.cfa.vic.gov.au

There’s a very special celebration in Mildura this weekend as two of our Italian community’s most

Breaking rocks, building By daughter JOSIE and son-in-law JACK KELLOGG as told to GRANT MAYNARD BREAKING rocks in a Sunraysia quarry certainly wasn’t what Italian immigrant Francesco had in mind when he left his hometown – San Nicola Di Caulonia – for Australia in 1950. But it was work... and he knew he wouldn’t be doing it forever because he had big plans for his growing family... and dreams too! Francesco Deluca grew up in the same small village of San Nicola Di Caulonia in the Calabrese region of southern Italy as did his future wife, Maria Vellone, who was raised by her grandmother after the death of her mother when she was five. Francesco was the youngest of three children in the Deluca family and Maria the eldest of the two Vellone children. When Maria’s grandmother died in 1939 the couple decided it was an opportune time to get married. They were both 19 years old at the time and the date chosen was November 26. The couple was married in a small Catholic church in San Nicola. But war was brewing in

Europe, and Francesco had been conscripted into the Italian Army, and was lucky to be able to marry before being shipped off. He spent the next three years – from 1940 to 1943 – in Albania. However, during what were to be the final months of his service, Francesco contracted malaria and was sent to a military hospital to recover. He never saw active service again, returning to his family in San Nicola after Italy formally withdrew from hostilities on September 8, 1943. For the next seven years he struggled to make a decent living for his family and decided to migrate. He had friends who were considering Canada, and others planning to come to Australia. He wisely chose Australia. Francesco Deluca immigrated to Australia in April 1950, arriving in Melbourne aboard the ship Sebastiano Gabotto and leaving behind his wife Maria and son, Domenico, and his two daughters, Carmellina and Giuseppina (known as Josie today), to earn enough money to af-

ford to bring his family to his adopted country. Francesco was fortunate enough to have a cousin, Domenico Cavallaro, already living in Koorlong who encouraged him to move there.

Taking his cousin’s advice, Francesco moved to Mildura and with little or no English... and no money ... began his new life working in the Benetook Quarries for a Mr Charlie Adams. His

job was hard manual work, cracking limestone rock with a sledgehammer, almost as if he was a prisoner all for nine pounds a week! But he enjoyed his time there, and today still speaks highly of his first boss, who helped him learn limited English. One of his favourite stories from that time is when he wanted to buy a colander. He knew what he wanted, but not what it was called in English. His explanation to the shopkeeper went like this: “Spaghetti stay, water pass”. Not understanding what his customer wanted, the shop assistant worked his way around the store, show-

ing Francesco all manner of items until, at last, they came upon a colander! Francesco left the quarry after seven months and moved to Iraak with two friends – Larry Cirillo and Don Cavallaro – to sharefarm with a local landholder. The trio grew pumpkins, peas and beans while sharing an old pickers’ hut near the river and often fished or trapped rabbits to supplement their meagre food stores. Living off the land and living rent free allowed Francesco to save money for his first plan – to bring his family to Australia. He recalls they were tough times, and often won-

respected elders mark their 70th wedding anniversary with friends and family. Theirs is a story of...

dreams in a new land ders whether today’s generation could, or would, endure what he, and his fellow migrants went through in the early days just to survive. Finally, after three years of hard work and saving every penny, Francesco was able to put a deposit on his own fruit block on 7th Street, near Etiwanda Avenue, in 1953. In June that same year, Francesco, without any government assistance, was able to afford to bring his family to Australia. His family arrived in Melbourne from Italy aboard the migrant ship ‘Surriento’. Life did not get a lot easier at first. The family lived in an old tin shed, with hessian bags for interior doors, and wheat bags for blankets. And all the family members assisted to work the vineyard. During fruit picking the children would either pick grapes (or drive the tractor that was to come later) while Maria would work around the drying racks spreading grapes. There were no modern conveniences or luxuries in those days. The family lived with outside pan toilet and another tin shed as the shower room. Showers were taken with the assistance of overhead hessian bags. Hessian bags were also used for water cooling and

RIGHT: Francesco marches proudly in an ANZAC Day parade. to cool the ice chests used for storing perishable food. Daughter Teresa was the first Australian born child, coming along in 1954, followed by Tony in 1959 and Angelina (known as Dolly) in 1961. Six children in all. Francesco continued to work his block, acquiring his first tractor – a David Brown – in 1954. The tractor made his draught horse redundant, and he continued to prosper through hard work and thrift. The tractor doubled as the

family ‘car’. With a block trailer attached, and sweat boxes for the kids to sit on, the family was able to visit friends and relatives around the district. Francesco instilled in his children the value of hard work if you wanted to get ahead in life and they grew up often working on the block before, and after, school. Their jobs included general block work as well as picking vegetables, and also working contract for other growers to progress the family fortunes.

In 1958, after years of hard toil and repaying the mortgage on the fruit block, he approached the bank for a loan to purchase the family home where they live today. In 1959 Francesco proudly bought the family’s first car – a brand new FC Holden Special sedan, that cost him the princely sum of 12 hundred pounds. It remained the family car for 12 years and was kept immaculate at all times, such was the pride he had in it. Francesco and his family became naturalised Australian citizens on July 7, 1966 and he proudly declares he made the right decision in 1950 to move to Australia instead of Canada.

agree that the secret to a long and happy marriage is patience with each other, being family orientated, and above all being each other’s best friend... just like when they started out on life’s journey together. Today, aged 89, the couple are still happy together. While Francesco is in reasonably good health, Maria now requires the use of a walking frame to move around the house. But they are sure to regain some of their sparkle of youth at a special family celebration to mark their 70th wedding anniversary. The family has booked Mildura’s Club Da Vinci for a party to celebrate this momentous occasion. It will be attended by 160 family and friends from places as far away as Albury, Melbourne and Adelaide. The celebration has special significance for Francesco and Maria because it will be one of the rare occasions that all the family is able to get together. The couple has received congratulatory messages from The Queen, The Vatican, Australia’s Governor-General Quentin Bryce, the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, the Victorian Premier, John Brumby, and various State and Federal MPs.

Maria and Francesco went home to their village for the first time on holiday 1982, but declared on their return that Australia was their home, and they have never returned.

Without this training it puts at risk their chance of succeeding and also puts at risk our retirement plans. This series of seminars is a great way to teach your sons and daughters how we successful business owners think and gives them the best chance of succeeding in the business they are taking over.” Brett Higgins - Partner DHM Partners, Mildura

Adam Dianne

IT was a wedding of the modern era for sure when “big music fans” Adam Maud and Dianne Rodger tied the knot last month.For example, the music for the reception was played through a laptop wired to a set of quality speakers, and nearly all the accessories and decorations were sourced online. “It was important to us that we had control over what music was played,” the couple said. Meanwhile, the invitations were handmade by the couple and Dianne’s mum, as were the matching place cards, guest book and seating chart, while the chocolates for the guests were made by Adam’s mother. The nuptials took place in the Rose Garden at the Quality Grand Hotel Mildura with the reception, for about 75 guests, following in the Chandelier Room. The bride and groom’s parents were the bridal party, with Dianne’s mother, Gwen, and father, Tim, walking her down the aisle. The groom’s parents are David and Lyn Maud. The newlyweds had an all-to-brief honeymoon in Mildura before returning to work in Adelaide, however they are planning an extended ‘honorary honeymoon’ in Sydney in February next year. The couple would like to thanks The Powder Puff for make-up; Mur Rouge Hair Design; Memoirs Photography; lilybuds for the button bouquets and Alan Cameron, the celebrant. The surprising cupcakes and ‘central cake’ were made by Petracs Bake house, while the MC for the festivities was Dianne’s brother Andrew.

New kids on the blocks… COLD and blustery conditions that followed last week’s Sunraysia pre-summer heatwave did little to deter members of Merbein Swimming Club from attending a mentoring session with members of Mildura Murray Masters Swim Club last Sunday. Around 20 members of the newly-formed Merbein club took the opportunity to get some expert tips from Master coach Bob Jones, and six Masters swimmers. The morning session included a hotly-contested relay, with the six teams all finishing within a few body lengths of each other in Merbein’s new eight-lane 25-metre outdoor pool. Coach Jones later praised the club for its tutoring of the local youngsters, and he and the Masters swimmers were impressed

at the skills, technique and attitude shown by the juniors. Merbein will begin its competitive Sunraysia swimming carnival campaign next year. Merbein showed its appreciation by turning on a barbecue ‘sausage sizzle’ for both groups, parents and officials. The Merbein club and the Masters hope to make the day a bi-annual swim training and relay challenge. • IN FORM: Youngsters from Merbein Swimming Club join in the chorus to thank Masters coach Bob Jones, their president Bruce Gill and club stalwart Mark Slade for helping organise the big day, while (right) salads donated by Aaron and Tanya Evans of Merbein’s ‘Bistro Ate’.

Poor weather threatens Sunraysia cricket SUNRAYSIA’S cricketers will be hoping to avoid the wrath of Mildura’s recent temperamental weather, after Round 5 saw all Sunraysia Cricket Association divisions affected firstly by heat, and then rain over the course of two weeks. None of the scheduled Round 5 matches reached a result, with Saturday and Sunday’s 38mm downpour forcing draws. Conditions for this week could again prove troublesome, with 8mm of rain recorded up to 9am yesterday morning, and the Bureau of Meteorology predicting more to come today and tomorrow. Should the rain stay away Mildura Settlers will look to continue its recent run of good form when it takes on Mildura East, after amassing a respectable total against Mildura West in week one of Round 5. Ben Rowles (45), Richie Wyld (30) and Brendan Rodgers (58) guided their side to a competitive score of 186, with Setts’ bowlers to have fancied themselves defending the modest total.

Dan Wood’s 11 wickets, the second best tally of the competition so far this year, has been a shining light, with the rest of the team seeming to settle in recent weeks after their shock win against Commealla-Wentworth. Mildura East similarly looked ominous with the bat in their weather affected match against Coomie-Wentworth, with captain Tom Vadlja scoring 92, and Andrew Willison also adding a well made 63 to help East reach 298, its highest score for the season. East, while not struggling with the ball have been hampered by poor totals, with young bowlers Matt Brooks and Andrew Ross, and experienced campaigner Fabian Farley leading the charge. If East’s top order can fire it will give young quicks Brooks and Ross a chance to bowl their attacking styles with confidence. This game is certainly up for grabs, with everything riding on the scoring prowess of both side’s batting line-ups. Irymple will take on Mildura West, with the Swallows look-

ing every bit the side that almost clinched a premiership last season, while West have similarly looked in good nick. Swallow’s captain and opener Jason Bruhn has looked solid all year, leading from the front with 181 runs (at an average of 90.5) for

the season, while the introduction of English import Matt Wilkinson has also added a spark, with the all-rounder amassing 171 runs and five wickets for his adopted team. Young quick Jake Reed looked like a man on a mission against

Merbein South, taking 3/10 in what was an unbelievable spell of fast bowing, with fellow youngsters Keegan MacDonald and Mitch Smith also enjoying their first taste of First Division cricket. For West, captain Chris Williams has led with the bat and bowl, while young gun Ben Christodoulou has also looked impressive. Where West need to improve is at the top of the order, with their batsmen struggling all year, despite the side currently sitting second on the ladder. From a bowling standpoint West’s attack has looked solid, mainly due to the side’s constant need to defend poor totals. This will arguably be the match of the round, weather permitting, with the slight edge going to Irymple whose all-round attack is littered with talented youngsters. Workers Gol Gol will take on Merbein South in the final match of the round, with both sides struggling to find their groove this season. Reigning premiers Merbein

were immediately on the back foot against Irymple last round, with Jake Reed’s inspiring spell demolishing the top order, before a late fight back from Shane and Tony Trinick saw the visitors reach a modest 217. Apart from Mark White, who is leading Merbein’s batting aggregate with 127 runs, the attack has looked less than ominous, with experienced bowlers Matt Walder and Tony Trinick consistently taking wickets despite poor totals to defend. For Workers Dale Ingram (131) and Simon Groves (144) have been the pick of the batsmen, while David Hogarth and Thanura Rajapaske (four wickets each) have led with the ball. The entire side has struggled this season, with improvement needed from the top order, who have been disappointing all year, and from their all-round bowling attack. Merbein will likely go in as favourites, however improved batting performances for both teams will be the key.

High octane racing at World Jetsprint titles By BEN PISCIONERI SUNRAYSIA-built V8 jetsprint boat Hooters was driven to third position in the opening round of the World Jetsprint titles in New South Wales last weekend. Kiwi driver Daryl Hutton drove the boat into podium position despite an engine problem in the final which sent him up on to the water bank at about 130kp/h. Fortunately Hutton and his navigator Yvonne Maxwell escaped unharmed, but the boat hull and motor needed repairs this week as a result of the crash. Boat owner Peter Freckleton

appointing weekend in terms of results, by his standards. Finch finished the opening round in seventh place, narrowly missing out on making the finals. “We went okay, but in my eyes it was a bit average,” he said. “We were probably fourth fastest qualifier but we were having steering issues all day with the boat. “Because it’s fairly new (last weekend was the third time it had been in the water), we’ve still got a bit of sorting to do. “It’s definitely fast enough in a straight line, it’s just a bit heavy to turn, and the track on the week-

Boat owner Peter Freckleton this week said the problem was traced to the fact that the supercharged powerplant was burning through a staggering 20 litres of fuel per minute as it raced out the Temora circuit. this week said the problem was traced to the fact that the supercharged powerplant was burning through a staggering 20 litres of fuel per minute as it raced out the Temora circuit. “It’s only got a 28-litre fuel tank and it (fuel) must have splashed around a bit towards the end and we ended up with air in the fuel line which cut the motor out,” Freckleton said. The affable Sunraysia driver said while he was happy for his boat to finish third for the weekend, he was still thinking about what could have been. “Looking at the split times, we were in the hunt for first or second before the motor cut out,” Freckleton said. Meanwhile, fellow Sunraysia driver and former Australian champion Dean Finch had a dis-

end had a lot of turns.” Finch says he’s confident a few tweaks to his boat during the week will have solved his steering problems, and remains confident of giving the championship leaders a real push when the two-round world championship concludes at Melton this weekend. Other Sunraysia drivers competing in the championships include Andrew Page, who ended last weekend in a respectable ninth in the Unlimited Superboat class and Freckleton, who finished 11th in the same class. Rob Coleman meanwhile is flying the flag for Sunraysia in the highly competitive International Group A class. He finished the weekend 13th in a field of 30 of the quickest Group A boats and drivers in the world.

• SUNRAYSIA SPRAY: Rob Coleman (top) has been making his mark in the International Group A class of the World Jetsprint titles in a competitive 13th position. Andrew Page meanwhile is mixing it with the Unlimited Superboats, where vessels can boast powerplants pumping out more than 1500 horsepower. Both are doing Sunraysia proud on the international stage.

Sunraysia’s rising chess superstars By VINNIE RODI SUNRAYSIA’S budding and experienced chess players will get the chance to showcase their skills next week, with the Sunraysia Chess Club to hosts its RJ Shield Tournament at the Mildura Senior College on Sunday, December 6. The event will be open to players of all age groups and skill levels, with competitors as young as seven set to take part. Other age divisions will include Under 8s through to 18s, with an open division to also be included for the region’s older players. Club president Robyn Adlington said the group were looking forward to seeing a number of old and young chess lovers, both novice and masters, compete at the event, with the main goal to increase interest in the sport. “At one time the Sunraysia Chess Club was a big hit amongst the area’s adult players,” she said. “Unfortunately that interest has fallen off slightly in recent times, and it’s our hope that through these tournaments we can get more people interested in playing chess. “I’m sure there are plenty of players, old and young, who don’t

even know we exist, so it’s important to let those people know that there’s a place locally where they can play against people with a similar love of the game. “The main point of this tournament is to give players a chance to test their skills while having fun, and at the same time promote the sport within the region.” Robyn said that while most players set to compete had some level of experience, first-timers were encouraged to come down and learn the basics of the game. “Getting new people interested is certainly one of our goals,” she said. “If anyone wants to come down and watch, or even play they’re more than welcome.” The tournament will follow rules utilised by numerous RJ Shield tournaments held across the country, with participants to play a ‘Swiss format’, which ensures that competitors enjoy a fun contest against evenly matched opponents. All competitors will play seven games, with points to be awarded based on how many matches players win or draw. Matches will last a maximum 15 minutes per player, with one point to be awarded for a win,

• PIECE OF THE ACTION: Young chess players Gretel Loughead and Lachlan Heasyman are looking forward to next week’s chess competition (ABOVE), with the duo taking some time out to practice at school earlier this week (BELOW). It’s all a matter of strategy according to Lachlan, who is pictured deep in thought (RIGHT) half a point for draw and zero points for a loss. All participants will receive a certificate based on their performance, with high distinctions to be awarded to those who amount six points or more, a distinction

to those who accumulate between five and 5.5 points, a credit to those who amass between four and 4.5 points, and a participation for those with a total of 3.5 points or less. Two players who will be trying their best to walk away with their respective age group titles are Trinity Lutheran College students Gretel Loughhead and Lachlan Heaysman, both 7, who despite their young ages are experienced players. Gretel has been playing chess for four years, while Lachlan has been playing for two, with the two friends forming a rivalry at both school and the club. Lachlan said that he had originally become interested with the A TOYOTA GROUP COMPANY sport after Gretel, who is in the same year as him, showed him how to play. “It’s really fun,” he said. “I really614like war games,* DRIVE and chess is $46,500 DUMP $41,990 AWAY like1.9m3 that.

Head-ing towards soccer success

• IN CONTROL: Young Sunraysia soccer star Carlo Cirillo shows some of the form that won him selection in the Under 18 Australia team to take on some of the best junior teams in the Asia region for the International Challenge Cup. Carlo is hoping to put in some good performances, as the eyes of the soccer world – including talent scouts from major leagues – will be watching.

By VINNIE RODI YOUNG soccer star Carlo Cirillo, 15, has achieved his highest accolade in the sport, named vicecaptain of the Under 16 Australian soccer side. The excited, and rather nervous, youngster will spend the next two weeks competing against the best talent from around Asia, with Australia’s top 18 junior players to travel to Singapore to contest the International Challenge Cup. The trip will mark the first time the youngster will play overseas, with Carlo joining the rest of his team mates in Melbourne yesterday. He said he was looking forward to the challenge, and the opportunity to take on a leadership

role for his country. “I was very surprised to be named vice-captain,” Carlo said. “But at the same time I’m also very honoured and proud. “It’s certainly going to put more pressure on me to lead from the front, and to set a good example. “At the same time it also gives me a lot of confidence going in, because the coaches feel that I’m not only good enough to play, but to also be one of the leaders on the field.” Carlo said that he believed his side had a good chance of performing well at the Challenge, with the side made up of talented individuals. “Our coach, Ian Williamson, has said that he believes our side is the best his ever taken across,”

he said. “There are a lot of talented guys in the team, and we’re all really confident we can perform well for our country.” The road toward Australian selection has been a long one for the talented midfielder, who started his career nine years ago with his current club Mildura City. Numerous Sunraysia selections saw the youngster earn an Under 13 Country Victorian cap, a trend he has continued for the past three years. It was while representing his state that Carlo received the opportunity to play for his country, with a scout present at the recent National Youth Championships held in Coffs Harbour in October. With that selection came the daunting task of travelling to Mel-

bourne once a week for training, which was made all of the more difficult due to Mildura’s distance. However that slight disadvantage didn’t stop Carlo from making it to every session, with his prior commitments with Victoria helping him make the adjustment. “I was already travelling to Melbourne every weekend to train with Victoria, even when I was injured at the start of the year,” he said. “So getting to training with the Australian squad wasn’t that much different.” Carlo’s dedication and commitment impressed the Australian coaches, who rewarded the youngster with the vice-captaincy. “They (coaches) get excited when they see a player from the country make an effort,” he said. “I’ve spent a lot of time in cars and planes during the last few years, and it’s finally all paid off.

“It’s taken a lot of self-discipline and dedication to get where I am, and hopefully I can go over there and perform well, and at the same time kick start what I hope will be a good career.” Carlo said that a number of scouts from various leagues would be in attendance throughout the event, with a high possibility that any one of his team mates, including himself, could get noticed. “Scouts from the English Premier League and Spanish Leagues are going to be there, and who knows one of them might notice me,” he said. “To play in the A-League, Premier League, or really any major league would be a dream come true, and I just have to keep working hard to make that dream a reality. “It’s always been my goal to be a successful soccer player, and this is another step in the right direction.”

Waters racing towards first Superbike crown By BEN PISCIONERI SUNRAYSIA’S Josh Waters is on the cusp of the biggest achievement of his racing career - his first Australian Superbike title.

He’s taken two round wins, two pole positions and broken three Superbike lap records along the way. This weekend’s racing is expected to be every bit as close as the previous rounds, as the Honda and Suzuki machines are very closely matched. “My main competition, the Honda team, dominated last year on the bike they’re riding now, so they’ve got a lot of data from previous years,” Waters said. “Last year they were able to make a big jump forward and it looks like our team (Suzuki) is the only one to step up and go with them. “They’re very similar, although my bike is a bit easier on tyres which will come into play this weekend, hopefully, but we just need to try as hard as we can.” The comparison of machinery highlights Waters’ form this year.

The talented 22-year-old admitted to a few nerves earlier this week. “Yeah, the nerves are kicking in a bit now, but all I can do is go there and try my hardest and see what happens,” Waters said before leaving for ‘the Island’.

of data and a well developed bike, Waters started his 2009 campaign on the previous season’s bike before switching to the brand new GSX-R1000 mid-way through the season. Despite the lack of technical data compared to the opposition, Waters adjusted quickly and promptly put the brand new bike on the top step of the podium on its debut - breaking a lap record in the process. This year’s Australian Superbike Championship has attracted a great deal of interest overseas. It’s seen as one of the most competitive domestic Superbike championships in the world. It’s the only domestic Superbike championship in which riders are matching and beating the fastest World Superbike riders in terms of lap times. And this was accomplished on production-based machinery - not the exotic factory machinery available to World Superbike riders. One example is the suspension used by the ‘world’ competitors. Their suspension alone is worth more than Josh Waters’ entire bike, illustrating the gaping divide in performance between the World and Australian Superbike machinery. Yet the Australian riders are matching them.

It’s the ability of this year’s Australian Superbike riders, particularly at this year’s MotoGP, at which they were a support class, that has focussed much international attention on the series, which bodes well for Waters’ future international prospects. Snippets of his spectacular ride at the MotoGP weekend, in which

he won the final race of the weekend by a mere 0.024 of a second after making a last-corner pass, were even shown overseas, including the United Kingdom. There were also plenty of team managers and top-tier riders from around the world who would have been watching Waters’ Phillip Island performance first-hand.

• ARCH RIVAL: Josh Waters’ main opposition this weekend will be reigning Australian Superbike champion Glenn Allerton.

A bird in the hand was worth $12,000 for not going bush for Mildura’s Adolph family in the wake of Mildura Pigeon Club’s recent Breeder’s Plate. That’s the total they picked up for a record-equalling number of birds first to cross the line in a case of…

Pigeon perfect! MILDURA pigeon breeder and racer Paul Adolph has capped an outstanding year by having the first seven birds home in the annual Lloyd’s Trading Breeders Plate, picking up around $12,000 in the process. But his was one of the few success stories, with around 450 pigeons owned and raced by Mildura Pigeon Club members ‘missing in action’ after a disastrous 2009 racing series in the lead-up to the prestigious event. “It certainly wasn’t the year to have our racing birds flying in from the east,” club stalwart Ken Carr said yesterday. This year was the 20th ‘running’ of the Breeder’s Plate, and at the start of the year, following the traditional auctions, more than 500 birds were eligible to be trained up for the Plate, one of the richest events on the Australian pigeon racing calendar. But after training flights, trials and qualifiying events throughout the season, about 450 of the pigeons, including some top breeding birds that were highly fancied, had fallen foul of high winds, directional problems, birds of prey and other circumstances beyond the control of their owners. It is thought that some were even caught up in flocks of birds taking part in a Melbourne-based event of significance, and had returned to the wrong lofts. Mr Carr said some owners, like himself, were lucky to have as many as three birds left among the remaining 47 qualifiers for the breeders plate, but in an outstanding effort, Paul Adolph had a total of 20, representing almost half the field, and posted the results accordingly. Mr Carr said that in his memory, and to his knowledge, the feat of getting the first seven birds across the line had only ever been achieved once before…and that was done by a Dutch migrant and expert pigeon racer from Red Cliffs many years ago. The 47 birds left to contest the Plate were released at 7.30am at West Wyalong by Gary Evans and John Warburton…to face a flying distance of 500km back to their lofts. The race proved to be one of the fastest for the season, and not only provided the Adolph family with the first seven birds home and $12,000 in the bank, but it was also Paul’s first win in the major event. Paul and his wife Cheryl’s winning pigeon, called simply ‘Number 154,’ was bred

The second race was the Reg Warburton Memorial Classic, sponsored by Reg’s son Tony since his father’s passing in 2000. Both races were held from Nyngan in NSW, a flying distance of 650km to Mildura.

The Don Martin Memorial Futurity was won by Paul and Cheryl Adolph, with their two pigeons averaging 65kph. Second place went to K and R Schelfhout, and third went to Ian and John Warburton. Mildura Pigeon Club will hold its annual trophy presentation night at Mildura’s RSL. Club tomorrow night, beginning at 6.30 p.m. The following day will see the first Breeders Plate Sale for the 2010 season, with 4-week-old pigeons to be entered once again from lofts as far away as Adelaide, Hay, Wagga, Horsham, Broken Hill and Melbourne. Auctioneer Claude Hartley will begin the sale at 11a.m. at the clubrooms, with a BBQ lunch to follow. All proceeds from the three auctions will go towards the 2010 Breeders Plate, which will be held from a race point on a southern line of flight in September. It is anticipated that prizemoney for this race will again exceed $20,000. Those people unable to attend the first auction can attend either one of the club’s second or third sales, to be held on December 13 and January 17.
