Back to basics budget

A RENEWED focus on basic infrastructure maintenance, including greater investment in urban and rural drains and looking after the shire’s parks and gardens headline council’s 2022/23 budget according to Mayor Bernard Gaffney. Council adopted the $37.2M budget on Tuesday night, which included a $16.8M capital works program and 1.75 per cent rate increase as set by the Victorian Government. Cr Gaffney said the additional investment in drains and flood mitigation is a direct result of the community

feedback received during the development of the draft budget. “We received the highest ever amount of community input into the budget build and we heard loud and clear from our community its desire for council to get back to basics,” he said. “We’re putting an additional $200,000 into improv-

ing rural and urban drains, bringing the total investment to $470,000.” The $16.8M capital works program is made up of $7.7M in new project allocations and $9.1M in projects already funded in previous years budgets, but have been carried forward into 2022/23. A significant portion of the carry forward funds is associated with the completion of large multi-year grant-funded projects including the Chiltern Community Hub, Beechworth to

Yackandandah Rail Trail and the Indigo EPIC Mountain Bike trail. Cr Gaffney stressed that the budget does not include any new money for cycling infrastructure. “We’re investing in services that enhance the shire’s liveability, amenity and future sustainability, including $3.1M on waste management service delivery and facilities, $1M on parks and gardens, $656,000 to deliver library services and programs, $553,000 on ini-

Back to basics budget ■

From page 1 “A range of other important issues addressed in the budget include caring for our community, growing our visitor economy, growing our v towns, updating and maintaining community facilities, supporting local sporting and community groups to improve facilities, caring for our environment, and investing in v our roads, drains, bridges and footpaths,” Cr Gaffney said. Cr Roberta Horne, the only dissenting voter on the budget, said the pre-budget surveys were a very good move v in diversifying the budget process. “It gave people the opportunity to have a word at the beginning of the process rather than at the end,” Cr Horne said. There were several questions and issues raised about the budget from the public gallery during Tuesday night’s meeting. Rutherglen resident Herb Ellerbock asked why it was important to have $5.2 million in reserve. Director of corporate services Greg Pinkerton anv swered, saying it was important to have that balance in reserve. “We always budget for that to be our minimum cash level,” he said. “There is a mention of that figure in the long term financial plan document, and it’s worth having a look at. w “It is designed to make sure that the council has always got sufficient cash reserves to pay its debts, even on a bad year with events going on and a litw tle bit in reserve. “It’s our safety net, just to make sure that things are going to continue on, regardless of what happens.” Geoff Palmer from Beechworth questioned if council w could deliver the budget based on its history.

Creative opportunity leads to MAMA art exhibition By CORAL COOKSLEY

• Indigo Shire Mayor Bernard Gaffney. “Council really has a history of non-delivery on its budgets,” he said. “It has not done so since I think 2014/15, and the performance is getting increasingly worse.” Council chief executive officer Trevor Ierino said the organisation was satisfied that it has the resources in place to deliver the budget. “We were satisfied that we’ve got the resources in place to deliver on that on the capital program in the budget, and then the council plan. “In years gone by we’ve delivered most of the capital projects, if that’s what you’re referring to, and where they’re not delivered it’s usually due to other complications with the projects themselves, it’s often requiring the extra time. “Resource wise, there’s ample and we believe that the organisation available to deliver on the budget. Mr Palmer also questioned the readability of some of the budget documents, which Mr Ierino acknowledged could be an issue. “This council’s reports to the community are very detailed,” he said. “We try to provide as much information as possible we’d happy to meet with you to go through line by line.” He said he would be happy to meet with Mr Palmer to share some of his ideas at a later time. All the councillors praised council staff for their work on the budget process.

A CREATIVE journey has been boosted through an art space at Mayday Hills leading to a first time exhibition at the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) for a local artist. Working in ceramics and small sculpture, Beechworth’s Julianne Piko said having a studio at Mayday Hills Art Society’s premises meant she could create and refine ideas making the development of her exhibition ‘Familiar Strange’ at MAMA possible. Interested in design, culture and sciences Julianne has never believed there is a separation between the streams. “By being cross-disciplinary and embracing expanded ways of thinking, we can look to the future and better ways of living together - nature and humans,” she said. In a post-COVID world and the state of climate change urgency, Julianne has created sculptural pieces that are at the intersection of art and science. “My exhibition contains materials that are both found and created from the fragility of unglazed ceramics to local granite and burnt wood to recycled copper pipes and glass,” she said. “Assembled sculptures encompass different timescapes, and each has its history and future.” With a keen interest in the interconnectedness of things, Julianne’s artwork reflects a desire to

As a multidisciplinary artist she is fascinated by materials and is constantly looking at the potential of new mediums. “I am currently working on a funded project with Regional Futures through Regional Arts NSW undertaking self-initiated professional development in material science delving into the potential of bio-

material and the recycled/ circular,” she said. “Having a dedicated space with room to create with a community of creatives and fellow messmakers assists in not feeling isolated in your own practice,” she said. “The studios are part of a developing community that will no doubt continue to be enhanced under the incredible support of both Christine Cansfield Smith and Peter Leppert.”

“I’m excited by their vision of a centre for Arts and Science in Beechworth,” she said. “The Mayday Hills studios will be an ongoing asset for both myself and the increasing community of local creatives and thinkers.” Julianne’s exhibition can be seen at MAMA until July 17 in the Brindley Family Galleries from 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

Forum explores affordable housing for vulnerable older people By CORAL COOKSLEY FOR Beechworth resident Phillip Adams, a forum on affordable housing options for vulnerable older people held last week gave the community a chance to listen to providers in the same space where they could also be linked together. The event drew more than 60 people. “Organisations presented their approach to providing affordable housing solutions where none of them aimed to profit from their associated activities and had different ways of funding their developments,” Mr Adams said. “The issues had highlighted a lack of available affordable housing and lack of cost effective land that could be used.” The forum addressed part of Indigo Shire Council Ageing Well initiative’s strategic plan; priority area number

four for housing. Among key strategies were promotion and advocacy for the development of diverse residential offerings close to services and facilities appropriate to the needs of older people as well as to develop information on housing options within Indigo Shire, covering granny flats/dual occupancy provision in large single dwelling houses. Another is consideration of long term needs for affordable seniors’ retirement and residential aged care housing within Indigo Shire as a component of council’s place-making projects. Strengthening links with homelessness prevention agencies and to promote connection to these services where applicable, while also promoting energy saving options for seniors to assist with reducing utility costs are another two key priority strategies.

Panel guests Housetides Support Services’ director Daniel House, Greg Muller and Graeme Jacobs from Nestd Homes, Hadar Homes’ managing director, Rick Leeworthy, BeyondHousing’s Catherine Jefferies, and Anne Threadgold from Quercus Support Services delivered insights into their projects and services. Shire Ageing Well officer, Kate O’Toole, said invited speakers explored ways to support more vulnerable people in finding affordable housing options and fixed, cheaper utilities. “The aim was also to strengthen awareness and understanding of what the support services can do to support the local community, particularly in reducing homelessness,” Ms O’Toole said. “Future housing forums may include topics such as ageing in place rurally on

ALL EARS: Residents from Beechworth and surrounds listened to housing options for vulnerable older people in local communities last week.

tive management team and councillors. “It will help provide a better understanding of community needs and what actions need to be considered,” she said. “Further forums on topics of interest to the community will be developed for the future.”

A similar meeting held in Rutherglen two weeks ago attracted around 16 people. Three housing options booklets prepared under the strategy can be found on the council website at www. indigoshire.vic.gov.au or a hard copy can be requested by contacting Kate O’Toole on 5728 8000.

Connected to nature with journaling

Publisher expands in South East NSW

By CORAL COOKSLEY

NORTH East Media (NEM), a division of Provincial Press Group and publisher of the Ovens & Murray Advertiser, has acquired a controlling interest in Monaro Media Group (MMG), publisher of The Monaro Post. MMG is a Cooma based publisher with offices in Jindabyne and Bombala and has grown since launching in 2006 to include The Post, The Snowpost, Your Farm, Your Coastal Life and The Innovation Magazine, MMG’s chairman David Sheldon said the partnership would strengthen the company’s print and digital publications and enhance automation and marketing resources. Founding ‘Post’ editor and director Gail Eastaway said she was pleased the partnership agreement had been completed. “Our local MMG team has consistently delivered essential news and information to the Snowy Monaro region since we started The Post in 2006,” she said. “We are proud of what has been achieved with our print and online publications and look forward to working with PPG directors Hartley and Edward Higgins, and their award-winning com-

A TRIP to Beechworth last month for Wodonga’s Jenny Brumby meant gaining some great skills in nature journaling. Jenny said her confidence soared after having a go for the first time at the Wooragee Landcare session presented by longtime member Sue Brunskill, and naturalist Karen Retra from Albury. The Landcare group kicked off nature journaling earlier this year. Held at Beechworth Secondary College as part of the Winterwords Festival for ‘naturewords’, Jenny said she loved the creative practice. A relaxing one that helps connect more closely with nature, Beechworth’s Lesley Milne said nature journaling gave her a sense of mindfulness. “You have to stop and closely observe things that you would never have noticed on bushwalks such as the differences between flowers like orchids and lillies,” she said. “Sue Brunskill is very good on plants and Karen is a mine of information about insects.” “And they both have a passion for fungi, and all kinds of different elements that we find in our interesting bush landscape.” Karen said a wide range of people had different takes on the same activities. “And that’s how nature journaling goes as everyone brings their own perspective, skills and

PHOTO: Coral Cooksley interests,” she said. “We talked about a nature journal being a tool to connect with nature where for some people it is about gaining a better understanding of particular plants, fungi or species, while for others it gives inspiration for some other creative activity such as writing a book or just reflecting on the amazing place we live in. “We’re really just providing opportunities to maybe consider with different prompts. “Participants learn technical names or for what they’re looking at too.” “The session was a lot of fun.” For more information about the fun activity where a nature journal club has begun contact Sue Brunskill on 0427 287 285.

munity newspaper group.” PPG celebrated 100 years and four generations of newspaper publishing last year, with its founder W T Higgins having purchased The Wangaratta Despatch in 1921 and later merging it with the triweekly Wangaratta Chronicle. Beside community newspapers, North East Media publishes a range of print and digital alpine resorts publications including Mt Hotham-Falls Creek News, Mt Buller-Stirling News, and Snowy Mountains Magazine, a partnership with Steve Cuff based in Jindabyne. PPG’s chairman Hartley Higgins said the MMG investment signified the company’s confidence in regional newspapers. “We believe community newspapers have a strong future provided they remain relevant and approachable to readers, offer digital options, and are an effective medium for advertisers,” he said. “We will be working closely with the MMG team in support of these objectives,” he added. NEM is currently installing an additional four high newspaper press tower in Wangaratta to add print and colour options to its established print facility.

Locals enjoy Christmas in June festivity By CORAL COOKSLEY A CHRISTMAS in June festivity with all the trimmings set the scene for a fun time by Beechworth Senior Citizens Club members last week. Held at the club’s hall, locals tucked into a taste bud tantalising two course meal of crispy roast pork and vegies, cauliflower drizzled with cheese sauce, savory peas and corn dripped with seasoned gravy while a tasty desert of sticky date pudding topped with caramel sauce and ice-cream followed. With people away in July, club member Gail Walsh said the committee decided to hold the event in June. For Beechworth’s Mary Hawker, the occasion brought people together in a cold, miserable time of the year. “I love having fun when we are all together,” she said. Club president Chris Dormer said everyone had a chance catch up over delicious self-catered meals and have a chat. Fun activities included a quiz and lucky dip.

Local trout stocks replenished for school holidays ALMOST 9000 catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked into 20 lakes across the North East for these school holidays. Trout-stocked waters include Lake Sambell at Beechworth, Merriwa Park in Wangaratta, Glenrowan Recreation Reserve, Allans Flat Dredge Hole, Anderson Lake at Chiltern, Tronoh (Top) Harrietville Dredge Hole, Euroa Arboretum Dam, and Stanley Ditch Dam. The stocked rainbow trout have been grown by the Victorian Fisheries Authority at the Snobs Creek hatchery near Eildon. According to the State Government, the stocked lakes also feature fishing platforms, bankside tracks and picnic areas for safe and convenient access. A daily bag limit of five trout applies in lakes, of which only two trout can exceed 35 centimetres. The stockings have been funded by recreational fishing licence fees and form part of the State Government’s $35 million Go Fishing Victoria plan to encourage fishing. “Stocking our waters with rainbow trout provides the perfect opportunity for families and kids to get outdoors and try their luck casting a line these school holidays,” Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said. “Rainbow trout are ideal for fishers off all ages and skill levels as they’re relatively easy to catch - making it a great day out on the water.” A total of 35,000 catchable sized rainbow trout have been stocked into more than 70 waters state-wide.

Stanley Landcare helps with home heating efficiency By CORAL COOKSLEY A STANLEY Landcare initiative to help local community members identify heat and energy loss in their homes has the potential to significantly cut energy costs. A fundraising project for Stanley’s post office, Stanley Landcare secretary Tony McDonald provides the service using a thermal imaging camera designed for the detecting purpose. Stanley couple Vicki and Herman Knopers are among local residents keen to undertake the check as heating is escaping in their home in a number of areas. With winter the time for an annual test to reveal heat loss areas, Mr McDonald said the camera takes a picture of the difference in heat across surfaces reading the temperature. “People can see where the temperature is being lost or held,” he said. The ability to retain warmth after the building heats up depends on such things as thermal mass, insulation, window or floor coverings and position and type of windows. As a member of the Alternative Technology Association for more than 20 years, now known as Renew, from where the camera has been hired, the service Tony offers is a DYI fix. Renew with its mission to inspire, help, and ad-

Mr McDonald said many years ago when living in another state he had been involved in a local energy efficiency program where with a government grant he looked at energy efficiency in arid zone housing. Ms Knopers said the post office - a not for profit organisation run by Stanley Rural Community Inc (SRCI) - relied on volunteers as well as fundraising to keep the post office running.

“Without support from people like Tony undertaking fundraising activities, we wouldn’t have a post office,” she said. “It’s great for the Stanley community to have this service available.” Mr McDonald said a few residents have lined up to have their homes checked and he is happy to have more people to take advantage of the service available until next Tuesday, July 7. The cost for SCRI members is $80 while the fee is $100 for non members. Bookings can be made at the Stanley Post Office or by email at infrared.stanley@gmail.com.

EXCITED kindergarten youngsters showcased their singing skills in an end of term performance last week in Chiltern. Families and friends gathered at the town’s Memorial Hall where they listened to the four-year-olds from Chiltern Kindergarten share a collection of songs learned in an eight week program over the second term. A Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) grant through its Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) program gave the kindergarten the chance to offer a music workshop for pre-school children run by Yackandandah-based Ladybird Education. “We’re really delighted to have received funding from FRRR that Ladybird Education helped us with so we could access the program,” the kindergarten’s early childhood teacher and supervisor, Sue Collins said. “The children have been engaging each week with Ladybird’s Sal Kimber and Tijana Simic and other musicians learning different instruments and new songs.” One song ‘All About my Kinder’ had been written by Sal and the youngsters. Ms Collins said the kindergarten hoped to offer the program in the future to its threeyear-old group too if successful with another grant. Tijana, the Ladybird Education’s director, said the successful Chiltern program had enrolled 26 youngsters where they learned a new instrument every week.

“We had special guest musicians who had different instruments,” she said. Among them musician David Pietsch, from Violindigo in Yackandandah brought violins for the children to play. “They all had a chance to hold a bow and a violin properly,” Tijana said. “The children listened to classical music with him and a range of different genres of music too.” “And we had Leisha Jungalwalla from’ This Way North’ from Yackandandah who brought in electric guitars. “We did a guitar exploration with the guitars, acoustic and ukuleles.” Tijana said the program is about community collaboration, giving children the experience as well as being able to engage local musicians. “The program works on children’s self esteem, their confidence and helps with school readiness as they’re off go to school next year,” she said. Chiltern parent Amelia Davies said her son Max loved the program. “It’s interactive and creative, gives the children confidence and when the group came to the kindie, Max was really excited,” she said. Tijana said the children had an amazing experience where they were exposed to a different music and could showcase their learning with the performance to their parents. “Parents could see what we’ve achieved through the program and the progression of their children,” she said.

Model railway marks 10 year anniversary By CORAL COOKSLEY A WORKING model railway at the Old Telegraph Station in Beechworth celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The full accurate scale replica of the Beechworth Railway Station and yard was opened by the late former Deputy Prime Minister and railway enthusiast Tim Fischer in December 2012. “This is great history and we tried to recreate what it looked like in the early 1960s, which was the end of steam and the beginning of diesels,” volunteer operator John Harvey said. Mr Harvey said the railway’s history dated back to September 30, 1876 when it opened with great celebration with the Victorian Governor, Premier and politicians among the huge crowd as well as a contingent from the large Chinese community that lived in the district. “It was the main line between Melbourne and Albury, and between 1891 and 1954 the railway line ran to Yackandandah,” he said. “After the Second World War the railway fell on hard times with the advent of motorised transport and the Victorian Government closed the line in December 1976.” The last train ran for locals and enthusiasts on January 3, 1977 followed by the removal of rails where the track in recent times has been made into a rail trail. An exciting new addition to the working display of locomotives, rolling stock and buildings on the exhibit is a model of a D3 Class

steam engine. “It’s the type that was stabled at Beechworth for much of the steam era and was present on the Beechworth branch line,” Mr Harvey said. “D3 locomotives operated throughout the Victorian Railways system as mixed traffic - passenger and freight - locomotives and in later years as shunting engines.” “The class were generally withdrawn from service by 1964 but luckily a few have been preserved.” Over the last decade since the model railway began more than 3000 people have been drawn to the exhibit, among them school groups with sometimes around 40 people visiting over a weekend. “We’re hoping to further improve the exhibit so we can run more than one train at a time,” Mr Harvey said. Mr Harvey and volunteer Leo Nette said they encouraged people to visit the Old Telegraph Station built in 1858 to view communications and transport history. “Visitors can even send a real telegram from the only working telegraph station in Australia,” the volunteer said. “We welcome volunteers to help out at the Telegraph Station as well as with the model railway.” Community members who would like to volunteer can contact the Burke Museum and Cultural Heritage manager Cameron Auty on 5728 8067. The Old Telegraph Station is open from 10am to 4pm on Monday to Sunday but closed on Christmas Day.

Australian leaders in crime fiction writing visit Beechworth By CORAL COOKSLEY TWO leading Australian crime fiction writers took their audience on a fascinating journey into the world of their work in a perfect setting at the Beechworth Historic Courthouse at the Winterwords Festival. Well-known local crime fiction author Margaret Hickey led the session held on Saturday, June 18. Among insights into their work and background, award winning author Sulari Gentill, who has 15 published novels, also spoke about her latest literary mystery titled ‘The Woman in the Library’ released worldwide this month. Chris Hammer author of his debut crime novel ‘Scrublands’ that will become a TV series spoke about his work including two follow up books as well as his latest novel ‘Treasure & Dirt’. With ‘The Woman in the Library,’ Sulari said she had

been penning another book when a writing friend in Boston undertaking research for her there to get the setting and sense of place correct, sent details and footage of a crime scene in the city. “He thought I may be interested in seeing what an American crime scene looked like (after the body had been removed) and I thought it was a good idea for the story,” she said. “The reception of the book has been gratifying and exciting, and has a following that I haven’t experienced before.” The former lawyer who took up writing a decade ago said she loved writing and having her stories come to life. For Chris Hammer his latest novel ‘Treasure & Dirt’ has meant an interesting introduction to new characters. “I think that’s the best thing for a writer but it’s also the best thing for the reader too,” he said.

Mr Hammer said he hoped the audience gained an insight into the creative processes, where ideas for books originate and how they’re produced. “I’m always interested in how other writers work, where their ideas come from and how it all comes together, and attend writing festivals where I sit in on their sessions,” he said. Wooragee’s Karen Bowley said she loved the evening with the authors. “Margaret Hickey was the perfect facilitator asking interesting and pertinent questions,” she said. “Her knowledge of the authors and their work was obvious. “I was fascinated by the authors’ backgrounds and why and how they write.” Ms Bowley said they were down to earth and entertaining with the venue adding an interesting atmosphere. “I love their books even more now,” she said.

The first systematic survey of New South Wales’ settlement population was by muster (a headcount) in 1795. Until the first census in 1828, musters recorded the population, including convicts and those provisioned by the Government, to assess the Colony’s potential for self-sufficiency.

COMMUNITY FOCUSED: Among Vicki Knoper’s volunteer roles is being Stanley Rural Community vice-chair.

A passionate volunteer

VICKI Knopers was born and raised in Wangaratta before heading off to the big smoke after completing high school. She returned to the North East in 1984 and has lived in the area ever since with her husband Herman. The couple moved to Stanley 13 years ago from Beechworth where they had lived for 25 years. What’s your job? I have been retired for 12 years. I was a member of Victoria Police for 35 years. I joined Victoria Police before equal opportunity and policewomen’s roles were separate to those of the men. What brought you to the role? The welfare of women and children was a main area of concern and what drew me to the job. What did you love about your job? The diversity of work. With equal opportunity I worked general duties when it was rare to see a woman working the divisional van. There were less than 300 women in the job then. I developed the Police in Schools program in the North East and had many other roles during my career generally changing job location or job description every five years which kept it interesting and challenging. What do you do in the community? I have volunteered for many years, from Blue Light Discos and Beechworth Neighbourhood House (Quercus) in the early days to currently being vice-chair of Stanley Rural Community (SRC) and Australia Post nominee for Stanley community post office. The post office is an important service to the community and operates with the assistance of volunteers. I am also a friend of the Stanley Athenaeum and Stanley Landcare member. What is the most important current community issue for you? Our focus at the moment is recruiting and training volunteers for the post office so that it continues to service Stanley. It operates from the old Stanley school along

Vicki Knopers, Stanley with programs which we’d like to develop more of to make it a hub for community learning and connection. Maintaining the school building and grounds without funding is also a challenge. What would you do to solve, change or improve the situation? I encourage everyone with a few hours to spare to volunteer at the post office or with other community groups to keep our community vibrant and alive with a cross section of the community represented. Beechworth Correction Centre when not in lockdown help us with the grounds and a call goes out to the community for working bees. We’re currently negotiating with the education department for a lease that will allow us to apply for grants for the upkeep of the school building. If the person you’d most like to meet or was already here, who would it be and what would you show them? I don’t have anyone I’d particularly like to meet. Every day encounters bring connections and the unexpected. I would show the natural beauty of Stanley and the Stanley Athenaeum. What would you show people from those encounters? Highlight the beauty and peace to be found in nature. The Stanley Athenaeum is a treasure trove containing rare books, history of Stanley and its residents, and recent books for sale like ‘Hearts of Gold, Minds of Mettle’ researched and compiled by local women about pioneering women. What book are you reading? I’m not currently reading a book. I’m a member of the Stanley book club and looking forward to reading our next book ‘Being Mortal’ by Atul Gawald.

TDFL football/netball round 11

Beechworth women at Drummond Golf in Albury last Tuesday getting a few tips off professional Steve Brown.

First round goes to McIntosh LAST Sunday was the first round of the Men’s Club Championships and some found the going easier than others. None found it more to their liking that Stuart McIntosh who won the day with 89/23/66, right on his heals was Vaughan Saunders who finished with 69/2/67. Dave Lang finished third with 89/18/71. Nearest the pins went to Jamie Dolny on the 5th, Vaughan Saunders on the 7th, Dave Lang on the 10th and Jacob Howard on the 17th. Vaughan leads A Grade with 69 from Dylan Pool with 75. Jacob Howard has a commanding lead in B Grade with 86 from Andy Croome with 99. It is a lot tighter in the C Grade with Dave Lang and Stuart McIntosh all tied up with 89. It will be unclear how only playing three rounds out of the four will impact Stuart who next weekend is participating in a w Marathon on the Gold Coast. Good luck Stuart. As was said, the championships are the best three out of four rounds so it would be great to see everyone who wasn’t there today out there next week and having a crack. Sunday was also the qualifying round for the handicap match play championships. 1. Stuart McIntosh vs 8. Jamie Dolny. 4. Dylan Pool vs 5. Jacob Howard. 2. Vaughan Saunders vs 7. Dean Howard.

3. Dave Lang vs 6. Josh Carr. Also there were some cards found in the clubhouse from last Wednesday where five brave women played a Stroke round in horrible conditions. Gail Smith won the day with 79 nett from Deb Tully with 80. Deb also claimed nearest the pin on the 10th. The weather forecast looks a lot better this week. So it would be great to see the numbers on both Wednesday and Sunday increase. Wednesday 8:30am for 9am. Sunday 11:30am for 12 noon. Last Tuesday, 10 of the Beechworth women attended the Women’s Golf Day at Drummond Golf in Albury. The free night included some drinks and nibbles, a Big Swing Golf Club membership and a 45 minute golf coaching clinic with local PGA pro Steve Brown. For some it was the first time playing on the Big Swing Golf simulators and there were plenty of laughs and some not so subtle competition between groups. It was a great opportunity to get some pro tips and a fun social catch up for the Beechworth women, particularly those who work and can’t always get to Wednesday comp days. Big thanks to Drummond Golf for a well run night and thankyou to Debbie for organising, we are all looking forward to the next one.

MY FOOTY: The Beechworth Bushrangers senior side handed Chiltern just their second loss of the season on their big Indigenous round weekend.

Bushrangers big day out By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN BEECHWORTH Bushrangers senior football side are on a high from the weekend after their huge 13 point Indigenous round win over top side Chiltern. Trailing at three quarter time, the Bushrangers surged back to claim a crucial win to keep a game and percentage clear in fourth spot on the ladder, while keeping in touch

with the ladder leaders Coach Tom Cartledge said to have a win on what was already a momentous day for the club was significant for his team. “It was huge for the club on such a big day, really you couldn’t have asked for a better day in that regard,” he said. On the build up to the weekend, the club had information sessions on its local First Nations people, which

included learning the meaning behind the name of their home ground, Baarmutha Park. Cartledge said it was “special” to learn from what the Indigenous peoples’ learning sessions had to offer. “You want to be as inclusive as a club as possible,” he said. “You can’t be educated enough about our First Nations people.... It was super interesting.”

The Bushrangers have now won two games in a row after dropping three of their last four. Cartledge said the team took away valuable lessons from their losses as they were all close games. “The errors came down to the way we were playing and the pressure we were putting on ourselves,” he said. “We changed a couple of things as far as our structure

worked and were able to free a couple of other blokes up. “It was a bit of trial and error but luckily the trial only took a couple of weeks and it didn’t take more.” The Bushrangers take on Rutherglen this weekend and will look to repeat their efforts in round one when they came out big winners. But Cartledge said the team was also looking forward to having a rest on their bye

weekend the week after to reset their focuses on their finals push. “We’ll get through this weekend and then we’ll sit down and map out the rest of the year and talk about how we’re going to attack it,” he said. “The biggest thing will be getting the group on board and making sure we stay focused for the next third of the year.”
