WINTER WONDERLAND AS SNOW FALLS: As snow fell on the first day of winter in Beechworth on Wednesday and over the last two days at Stanley, a pretty winter wonderland was created and generated plenty of excitement for locals with many posts on social media. The snow may not last for long, however, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting showers and rain over the coming days with temperature barely making double figures over the next week.

Cultural burn fires up SHARING knowledge, networking and building relationships with communities were key messages at a traditional cultural burning workshop held by Stanley Landcare at the local Recreation Reserve’s “Stanley Safer Place” recently. Around 30 people including local community and Landcare members as well as local CFA volunteers par-

ticipated in the workshop that covered traditional burning principles and benefits with a demonstration in Upper Springditch too. Albury’s Indigenous elder Uncle Phil Murray from the Dhudhuroa people said be-

ing back on country with cool burns and working together with organisations such as the CFA, Landcare groups and DELWP is good for bushfire management and country. He said cool burns meant fuel reduction as well as regeneration of plants and bush tucker. Deputy group officer Bogong Group of Brigades

and Stanley Landcare member Michael Nuck, said the local brigade had been keen to learn about cultural burning from elders. “It’s about elimination of weeds, healthy revegetation and is important for fuel reduction,” he said. “We’ll be recording the impact of traditional burning on the weeds and regen-

eration of such plants as native grasses and orchids over the next couple of years and have a multi-prong attack for cool burns over sections across the Stanley Plateau,” he said. “It’s a working relationship between Landcare, CFA and DELWP where we’re all on the same page and working with the community.” ■ Continued page 2

Firing up traditional cultural burning ■

From page 1 CFA Beechworth urban fire brigade captain Tracy McVea said she had attended to learn about traditional burning. “When you have the community onboard you’re half way there and Michael gave us the opportunity,” she said. Stanley Landcare secretary Tony McDonald said there had been a previous session with elder Uncle Allan Murray - a holder of traditional fire knowledge, who was unable to attend the Stanley event on the day. “It had been a delight to see him both here and at the earlier demonstrations in Wooragee community. “Once people gain an un-

derstanding of traditional burning as a tool to use on their own properties, they will cut down fuel loads,” he said. “This is the sort of thing people could be looking at and we’re certainly doing this on public land.” “One of the struggles we have in this area in regeneration of native species is most of the weeds outgrow them and the use of this technique allows a window of opportunity for regeneration and is a real positive dimension of cool burn technology.” In a three year traditional burn project by the Stelling family on their property in Wooragee, traditional plants

had returned in cool burn areas. The project had been under the guidance of elder Uncle Allan Murray, elder Uncle Rod Mason from the Ngarigo people in the Snowy Mountains region who had been a Nationals Parks ranger for 30 years, and Indigenous land management consultant Richard McTiernan. Stanley’s Royston Smith said spot fires on his property had taken off in the 2009 bushfires due to fuel from a lot of vegetation. “I had to manage it a lot better and that’s when I decided to do this traditional type of burn and have undertaken it ever since, and feel much safer,” he said.

LOCAL talent and community based events will be among highlights for this year’s Winterwords Festival less than two weeks away. Creative director Janet Tweedie said covered in the amazing list is the Quercus young drama group with a first-time performance to an audience and a Beechworth Theatre Company presentation of readings of local author Margaret Hickey’s dialogues ‘What We Said’. “Another is a special story time in the library for youngsters focusing on Stanley author Wendy McKay Taylor’s book ‘Mouse Mayhem too,” she said. While award-winning nationally and internationally known authors and writers are festival guests at the inclusive event with its focus to celebrate words in every form, Ms Tweedie said Winterwords is for the community by the community. “The festival was created as something different and fun for the community across all ages to get involved with during winter,” she said. Ms Tweedie said the Winterwords creative group loved to support local talent as well as offer events

NOVELS PENNED IN BEECHWORTH: Local author Margaret Hickey will be in Winterwords Festival sessions for the community next month. for the community to enjoy that are free or with a gold coin entry. Among new sessions introduced for this year has been one on film writing production, the drama performance by youngsters and two themes of crime and nature. An open night at Beechworth Books will also be held on Friday, June 17 at 6.30pm with soup and tasty bread to buy where heaters will keep people warm outside while tucking in. “Proceeds are being donated to the Beechworth SES,” Ms Tweedie said. While incredible local talented people with their passions will delight audiences, the creative director said she thinks people will

relish seeing the use of historic buildings around the town for festival sessions. “I think visitors to the Beechworth who participate will gain an understanding of the wonder off the town and its surrounds in winter,” she said. “They might be surprised to find that Winterwords isn’t a writer’s festival, but a true celebration of words in all their forms and functions.” “If people are not into books, they might be into Karaoke, or enjoy word games over a glass of gin at Billson’s Brewery, listen to a story while eating a curry at the Empire or toe-tap to the bands playing at Tanswell’s Commercial Hotel.” The Winterwords Festival with its interesting 22 session in the program runs from Wednesday June 15 to Sunday June 19. Some sessions are free or by gold coin donation with tickets at a cost between $5 to $10 with a few at $25 each. Visit winterwords.com. au for more information, program sessions as well as bookings. Tickets will also available at the door for all sessions (cash only) that will cater for any last minute decisions to join in.

Historic carriage collection relocation ramps up with petition By CORAL COOKSLEY A PETITION to save the incredible historic carriage collection presently housed at Billson’s Brewery is well underway. Beechworth History and Heritage Society (BHHS), the Beechworth Old Cranks Motor Club with a number of local community members remain frustrated at Indigo Shire’s inaction for the relocation of the 22 historic carriages kept at the brewery as time is running out to find a suitable home with the lease expiring in November. Old Cranks Motor Club member Leigh Privett said other interested parties outside Beechworth could be ready to grab the collection which community would then lose. “We don’t want that to happen,” he said. BHHS and the Old Cranks Motor Club with more than 90 members consider the most logical place for the valued collection to be on display is the renovated old railway goods shed in Harper Avenue adjacent to the old railway station.

Ms Mason said Indigo Shire Council outlaid around $750,000 three years ago to refurbish the shed with commercial tenants sought since then but the shed has remained vacant. “We’ve been dealing with the National Trust and Indigo Shire Council trying to collaborate but still nothing has been decided,” she said. Ms Mason said around two years ago, BHHS had met with the National Trust’s carriage manager Annette Shield on site. “We showed how this could be a fantastic heritage attraction incorporating the whole transport history not just the carriages adding to our already incredible tourism scene in Beechworth,” she said. The O&M Advertiser reported in April this year that National Trust of Australia (Victoria) chief executive officer Simon Ambrose said the trust encouraged support from council in providing an ongoing home for the carriage collection as well as a plan for its continued preservation. Mr Ambrose had said the

National Trust actively supported the preservation and management of the carriage collection on loan to Beechworth for more than 35 years where they looked forward to working with council and local community members. Not disputing the need for a commercial tenant, Ms Mason said the display could be integrated into a commercial venture such as a café or with a tourist operation that council is seeking. “We’re not wanting to run the collection as a static display by volunteers and our request is in line with what is being sought,” she said. “We believe that with the help of a tourism grant the shed could run as a tourist attraction with great appeal.” “As a commercial tourist attraction, it will also create jobs. “The venue is in a prime position within walking distance from the town’s centre where tourists and the community will be able to view them.” “The petition has been organised by the Old Cranks Motor Club with supported from BHHS and with the

Chance to have your budget say closes early next week NEXT Tuesday is the deadline for people to have their say about Indigo Shire Council’s draft budget for 2022/23. The document is on public exhibition with the community invited to review the document with submissions

to be made by Tuesday, June 7. The draft budget is one of a suite of strategic documents that council has endorsed and placed on exhibition for three weeks. In presenting the draft,

mayor Bernard Gaffney said council has worked hard to deliver a budget that meets the targets set in its long-term financial plan and keeps council sustainable, not just for the next 12 months, but for the next decade.

Stop the Spread of Flu and COVID-19 this winter With Flu and COVID-19 cases on the rise, it is important to protect yourself this winter. Influenza and COVID-19 can spread more easily during winter and both can be lifethreatening. Getting vaccinated against influenza and COVID-19 will protect you and those around you. Influenza vaccination is free for the month of June. If you are offered both vaccines, it’s safe to have them at the same time. Prevent the spread of influenza and COVID-19 by covering coughs and sneezes, washing your hands regularly, clean surfaces and stay home if you are unwell.

Beechworth toy library reopens By CORAL COOKSLEY BEECHWORTH Toy Library has reopened its doors helped by an Indigo Shire grant after a two year hiatus without a venue to run its operation as well as being impacted by the pandemic. Volunteer committee member Belinda Rae said the toy library is delighted to once again provide the important community service. Toy libraries give children the chance to play with different toys every week without cluttering homes or affecting finances. “They are an example of the sharing economy where networks of people all over the world use resources more efficiently by sharing goods and services,” Ms Rae said.

Toy library committee volunteer Jill Croome said the library reduces waste reduction and minimises environmental impacts of toy production and disposal. “Some members aim to rotate a smaller number of toys regularly to keep their kids interested with openended play, others like the financial savings and many just love to catch up with friends each open day,” she said. “Joining the toy library is also a good option for occasional carers and grandparents to avoid investing too much in toys that may only be used for a short time.” By using toy libraries for children’s toys, families can source a wide variety to assist their child’s development while helping reduce consumption and saving us-

able toys from landfill. Conveniently located at the rear of the Uniting Church at the corner of Ford Street and William Street, opposite the Old Beechworth Gaol, the library opens on Saturday mornings from 10am to 11am. “We realise that everyone is busy and Saturday mornings don’t suit everyone, so we are really happy to open at other times by appointment, just get in contact with us,” Ms Rae said. Ms Croome said since reopening, the toy library has attracted more than 20 new members. “Everyone’s support is appreciated while more members are needed to ensure the toy library can continue to run in the future,” she said. Ms Croome said a range of amazing toys had been

Major funding boost for local sport and recreation projects THE Barnawartha Recreation Reserve will get two new multi-purpose hard courts, suitable for netball and tennis following the latest round of funding under the Victorian Government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund. Funding of almost $492,000 has been announced for the project, with Indigo Shire Council to contribute just under $241,000 towards the redeveloped courts. The project will also include installation of new LED lighting, two player shelters, a four-tiered spectator seating stand, new fencing, improved storm water drainage, footpaths and site remediation. Rutherglen youngsters will also benefit from the latest funding round, with a major redevelopment of the existing skate park, valued at more than $274,000. The state will contribute $181,443 towards the project and council will tip in $93,470. The upgraded skate park

Council will also be able to commence master planning for several outdoor spaces and parks, with funding of $30,000 to be matched by its own contribution of $40,000. The plans will prepare for the future activation and development of the Allans Flat water hole, Rutherglen’s Barkly Park, Coulston Park in Tangambalanga and the

Yackandandah Sports Park. Mayor Bernard Gaffney said the funding, totaling more than $700,000, together with council’s contribution, will see more than $1M invested into important local facilities that will have wide ranging benefits for community members of all ages. “We’ve worked closely with the relevant organising committees, and in the case of the skate park, with Rutherglen young people, to submit strong funding applications for each of these projects and we are thrilled that they have been successful,” Cr Gaffney said.

purchased with thanks to the Indigo Shire grant as well. Last Saturday, World Play Day promoted this year’s theme ‘Rediscover play, Recover through play’ which reflected challenging times people have been through in recent years, and the opportunities that play and toy libraries offer to bring people together, re-connect, have fun, and get back to normal. Membership costs $40 per year providing unlimited access to a wide range of indoor toys, outdoor large toys, puzzles and a party hire kit.

Audience di captivated i db by professional musicians ensemble By CORAL COOKSLEY CLOSE to 70 music lovers listened to delightful music from a Peninsular Chamber Musicians ensemble on Sunday afternoon at Beechworth’s Christ Church. Organiser Kate Sutherland said the enthusiastic audience enjoyed a program of Spanish, Argentinian, Brazilian, French and German pieces from the trio Marnie Pope on flute, Megan Smithies playing cello and Anthony McGarrigle on guitar. “A rousing response was given for the guitar solo by Anthony who played ‘Austurias’ by Albéniz,” she said. “The Spanish and Latin American pieces stood out for me and were such a delight on a cold Sunday afternoon.” Musician Marnie Pope said it had been the first time since a grade six school camp that she had visited Beechworth. “It’s a great opportunity to come to other venues and areas where we’re supported,” she said.

DELIGHTFUL MUSIC: Peninsular Chamber Musicians ensemble Marnie Pope (left), Megan Smithies and Anthony McGarrigle at rehearsals before the concert on Sunday.

there are 30 musicians and also have a variety of different ensembles,” he said. “We’re a local community organisation made up of locals for our local community and have become one of the most highly regarded community chamber orchestras in Australia.” Christ Church’s next concert will be the Orpheus Trio from Albury on Sunday, July 24.

Letters to the editor Have your say on Indigo budget INDIGO Shire residents have until June 7 to make submissions and objections to the draft Indigo Shire budget. There were 311 submissions to the budget process before the draft budget was handed down. Overwhelmingly residents wanted far less money spent on rail trails and much more spent on basic infrastructure. Despite this, council still has not prioritised footpaths, roads, gutters, etc. A summary of the results can be found here: https://www.indigoshire.vic.gov.au/ Council/Have-your-say/Closed-consultations/Draft-Budget-Community-Survey. Please read and let the shire know how you feel before June 7. The future direction of Indigo Shire is at stake. John Harvey, Beechworth

Indigo Shire on a slippery slope WITH more than 300 respondents to their online pre-budget survey, Indigo Shire had an excellent chance of demonstrating that they were at long last prepared to ‘listen’ to residents. The efforts of community members to articulate their priorities and provide details of their dissatisfaction were noted, however, it appears that little has changed in the draft budget endorsed last week. The most important community priorities were improving drainage, construction, maintenance and upgrades of roads and footpaths. Cycle tourism and associated infrastructure items from the ‘What should we stop doing? list, are in the draft budget. Cr Roberta Horne was the only coun-

cillor to vote against the draft budget, expressing concern about $2.86m for cycle development indicating she would rather see the Shire fund the everyday needs of all residents rather than provide free recreational activities for a select group of people. The almost completed Beechworth to Yackandandah Cycle trail is separate to the planned Epic Mountain Bike Trail between Beechworth, Yackandandah and Stanley. Recently, an event was held in this area with a choice of tracks up to 50kms long and participants charged $80pp. Why has the Shire borrowed $1m towards the $2m+ cost of setting up this Epic Trail when tracks are already there? Beechworth has a Mountain Bike Park and recently secured federal money to build a toilet block. Where is the accountability and economic returns for this federal, state and local government funding? If this budget is passed $12m worth of cycle ways will be constructed at the expense of our residents who will have to continue walking on roads because of poor footpaths. Ratepayers will have to pay for ongoing maintenance costs of these cycle ways. Times up Indigo council, the ‘Teal’ treatment is needed; we want councillors who are genuine about community engagement, listening and implementing residents’ wishes. Christine Stewart, Beechworth

‘Beanie On’ in the fight against MND I RECOGNISE the important role that Australia’s close-knit regional communities continue to play in helping raise awareness and vital funds for MND research.

Now more than ever, we’re calling on all Australians to rally together, play on and help lead the fight against MND - with actions, not words. For years, regional communities in every corner of Australia have proudly rallied with us - from buying Big Freeze beanies to hosting their own DIY Big Freeze and Sockit2MND fundraisers - and this year is proving to be no different. MND is relentless and so are we. By purchasing a Big Freeze beanie or a pair of Sockit2MND socks, you’re joining an unstoppable army, united in their determination to fight back, not just for Neale, but for all people impacted by this devastating disease. Every beanie or pair of socks sold takes us closer to a cure and helps give hope to people with MND - hope that one day, there will be effective treatments or a cured. Big Freeze 8 beanies are now available for sale at Coles supermarkets, Coles Express fuel stations and Bunnings stores nationwide or online at fightmnd.org.au for $25, with all proceeds going towards FightMND. Sockit2MND socks are also available online at fightmnd.org.au for $15 and can be purchased by sporting clubs, schools, workplaces, or community groups looking to rally their community around this important cause. Funds raised through the Big Freeze are invested in cutting-edge research projects focused on fast-tracking new MND treatments and driving discoveries towards a cure. The campaign will culminate with a huge celebration on the Queen’s Birthday public holiday (13 June) at the Big Freeze match between the Collingwood Football Club and Melbourne Football Club at the MCG. The celebration will include the muchloved Big Freeze celebrity slide, a perfor-

mance by global musical act and hometown hero Vance Joy and see the return of the March to the G’ for the first time since 2019. This week has also seen Ash Barty and Rhonda Burchmore revealed as the first two Big Freeze sliders, with other sliders to be revealed over the coming week. Bec Daniher, FightMND campaigns director

FIGHT MND: Regional Victorians are urged toi get behind the Sockit2MND campaign by purchasing socks or beanies this week.

Salami making across the North East

It’s salami time in the North East WE are fortunate to live in an area where migrants from the ‘old country’ of Italy settled following the Second World War and enriched our regions with their tastes and ways of home. From tobacco to wine and viticulture to pasta, pizza and cured meats, they have been a staple of the North East for more than 70 years. Many families still celebrate the tradition of making their own salami each year, with new additions by marriage or birth trying their hand when it comes time. While many who make salami year after year will already have the equipment they need, if you are just starting out you will need to consider purchasing some special items to ensure your success which includes a good grinder, a sausage źƁƅǥ͂ĵŶˮ̤͂[̥͂ņŧŧŗźˮ͂ĝ͂źņĝŶų͂

While there are plenty of recipe options and tips and tricks to be had and the time it will take will vary depending on these things, essentially to make a salami you make your sausage, add sodium nitrate and a starter culture, ferment sausages at room temperature and then hang the links out to dry in your curing chamber.

TRADITIONAL: Costante Imports' book 'Keeping Traditions' was published to commemorate their 50th year in business and is available from their website.

Family tradition of quality

COSTANTE Imports was established in 1968 and is a family run business that specialises in suppling quality and unique equipment for the production of pasta, wine, olive oil and small goods like salami, as well as regional Italian specialties and cookware. As a boy, Giovanni Costante learnt his trade as an engineer from his father and grandfather and with these skills he built

what he has today; a successful manufacturing and importing business. When he arrived in Australia, Giovanni was full of inspiration and put his skills to good use in his small garage in North Fitzroy in Melbourne, where he began Ɓŧ͂şĝŠƅŀĝīƁƅŶĵ͂Ɓņĵ͂ǰ͂ŶźƁ͂ƚŉŠĵ͂ presses, crushers, destemmers and sauce puree machines. In 1968, Giovanni purchased a factory and shop at 377 Bell Street,

Preston where he still is today. The demand for his products grew, and business was doing so well it was time to expand. He began to import a large variety of products from Italy and never looked back. What is his secret? Dedication to his job, his customers and above all: quality. Many of Giovanni’s customers ĝŶĵ͂źƁŉřř͂ƅźŉŠŁ͂Ɓņĵ͂ǰ͂ŶźƁ͂ĵŵƅŉųşĵŠƁ͂ he made all those years ago -

which shows that they truly do stand by everything they sell. Costante Imports is a household name and has become a multigenerational family business, with Mr Costante’s children and grandchildren working and driving the business forward. They carry the same values of quality and pride themselves on sourcing quality products to suit their client’s needs while growing and learning every day.

A visit to the store is well worthwhile and is a treasure trove of products to suit interests including gardening, preserving, pasta making, cooking, barbequing, bread/pizza making, wine making, sauce making or of course salami making. Alternatively you can visit their website www.costanteimports. com.au and if there is something źųĵīŉǰ͂ī͂Ơŧƅ͂Šĵĵıˮ͂īĝřř͂ŧŶ͂ƙŉźŉƁ͂ them today to discuss.

Salami making across the North East

All your supplies for salami making and charcuterie meats in the one place MY Slice of Life in Wangaratta is full to the brim with ingredients, products and gear you will need to make your own homemade salami and charcuterie meats. The art of making the perfect salami is a talent worth bragging about according to My Slice of Life owner Brent Ibrom. “The process itself is relatively simple, but there ĝŶĵ͂şĝŠƠ͂ǰ͂ŠĵŶ͂ŉŠƁŶŉīĝīŉĵź͂ƁņĝƁ͂ you will need to get on top of before you can call yourself a true salami master,” he said. While machinery and gear has not changed much over the past couple of years, sourcing them has been challenging due to the pandemic. “My main advice is to get your order - whether that’s the hardware or the produce - in early to ensure you can produce what you want, when you want,” Brent said. “We have developed seven ıŉǥ͂ĵŶĵŠƁ͂Ǳ͂ĝƙŧƅŶ͂ųĝīŗź͂ƚņŉīņ͂ are really good for people starting out; every year we get people jumping on board the salami train so these give them źŧşĵ͂īŧŠǰ͂ıĵŠīĵ˳ “For those who are just

COMMITMENT RECOGNISED: Indigo Shire mayor Bernard Gaffney and Cr Peter Croucher after raising the Torres Straight Islander flag next to the Aboriginal Flag and Australian Flag.

Reconciliation commitment renewed

By CORAL COOKSLEY INDIGO Shire Council celebrated National Reconciliation Week with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait flag raising ceremony in front of its chambers on Tuesday with around 30 people attending including guests, local police and council staff. The ceremony acknowledged council’s commitment in raising cultural awareness within its organisation and the community with the recently adopted Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Mayor Bernard Gaffney said

council is committed to recognising traditional owners in Indigo Shire and creating opportunities to participate in awareness training activities with the RAP. “We know that recognising our First Nations people is important to our Indigo Shire community where people want to learn more about cultural heritage in this area and connect to our local indigenous community, and work together on a journey towards reconciliation,” he said. Indigo Shire chief executive officer Trevor Ierino delivered an address about the meaning of nd

development of National Reonciliation Week held from May 27 to June 3 with this year’s theme ‘Be Brave, Make Change’ - a time for all Australians to learn about shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how everyone can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Cr Gaffney said the relationship between Victoria Police and Indigenous people had been recognised when attending an Aboriginal flag raising event at Rutherglen Police station where he first met Bpangerang Elder Darren ‘Uncle Dozer’ Atkinson who was unable to

be present at Tuesday’s ceremony. “We’ve been able to foster this relationship in our community development,” he said. Cr Diane Shepheard said as Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan rolls out with the next stage reaching out to the community, it is an exciting time with Australia recognising the Uluru Statement from the Heart. “I would imagine it is an amazing time for all people around Australia not only for this week of reconciliation but the fact that our federal government is reaching out as well.”

“It’s powerful in creating relationships.” Cr Gaffney recalled the first Aboriginal flag raising event at the Council Chambers in 2015 where around 20 Aboriginal elders had attended. “It was another momentous occasion” he said. “We travelled to the Yeddonba Aboriginal cultural rock art site and spoke about how we would preserve the site.” He mentioned Parks Victoria - responsible for the site - had recently started to undertake platform restoration.

Repair café helps reduce landfill By CORAL COOKSLEY

HAPPY CUSTOMERS: Locals Jack Allworth (left) and Shauna Carlon had their dining room chair fixed by skilled volunteer John Strang on Saturday at Quecus Beechworth’s repair café.

EVEN YOUNG CHILDREN NEED HEARING PROTECTION...REMEMBER:

Hearing Loss is PERMANENT!

QUERCUS Beechworth came up trumps with its repair café on Saturday morning for newcomers to town Jack Allworth and Shauna Carlon. The delighted pair had a diningroom chair repaired by local skilled volunteer John Strang and Jack applauded the idea of a repair café. With sustainability in mind Jack said the service helped prevent items being wasted. “Ninety per cent of this old chair is in good condition and with John’s help the other 1 per cent is being fixed and we don’t need to be buying furniture,” he said. With the café having a community aspect too, Shauna said people can meet others as well as Quercus being a social place for get- togethers. Beechworthian Maree Lee took advantage of the sewing service on Saturday. “It’s fantastic where people can bring items to the café for repair,” she said. “I think it’s a wonderful service that I’ve often used including my secateurs being sharpened too.” Sewing volunteer Deborah Bacon said the café is good for the community as it offered a service to help young people too. “They often don’t have the time or equipment to do repairs and rather throwing out items, the café is a good way for things to be repurposed,” she said. “It’s about sustainability

MENDED: Sewing volunteer Deborah Bacon mended a jacket among other clothing on Saturday at Quecus Beechworth’s repair café. PHOTOS: Coral Cooksley in keeping more out of landfill and we need to change mindsets about tossing out and buying new.” Quercus Beechworth’s community engagement coordinator Jess Oldmeadow said repair of goods is a recycle economy that aligns with the sustainable principles and servicing community needs. “But the bigger part of the repair café is community connection,” she said. “Our volunteers come in once a month and it’s great for them to see each other and network and we also have lots of new people coming into the community where they love to come and visit us and have a chat. “They sometimes find things to be repaired so they can come in. “So many new people have

moved to Beechworth and it’s a great opportunity for them to pop in and see what we’re doing while they can also find out what’s happening in town through Quercus. “It’s not just about repairing as people are taught how to repair items that increases their skills and confidence to have a go. “The cafe is about building ongoing capacity in our community which is really important.” Quercus Beechworth’s repair café offers a variety of fixes among them tools sharpened, bikes furniture and clothes mended by skilled volunteers as well as advice. The café runs on the last Saturday of every month in the Oregon Hall located at the corner of Church and Ford streets.

SPORT ADVOCATOR: Beechworth’s Adam Fendyk believes participation in sporting and physical activities is critical to people’s well-being.

Adam is kicking goals on and off the field

ADAM Fendyk is Beechworth born and bred and has spent most of his life in the town apart from around seven years away in Shepparton and Deniliquin on the Riverina plains with his family. “However the hills of Beechworth always felt like home, so a move back was always on the cards and I’m glad we did,” he said. What’s your job? I am general manager of Burder AgAttachments, an engineering and manufacturing company based in Wangaratta which specialises in the design, manufacture and wholesale of front end loaders, forklifts and attachments for tractors. What brought you to this role? The business is family owned and operated. I was giving my Dad all this advice on how he should run the company and then decided that perhaps I should put my words into actions. I stepped into the breach 16 years ago and crikey have learnt a lot! What do you love about your job? We make things! The team is around 60 people strong, so I have a great sense of pride when I see one of our locally manufactured products in the field, especially knowing all of the people and incredible skills that went into making the item. What do you do in the community? I am currently president of the Beechworth Football and Netball Club (BFNC). This is my second stint, so I must be a bit crazy. All jokes aside, I enjoy working with a great group of volunteers in order to deliver sport to Beechworth and surrounds. The club not only organises netball and football - this year our team organised and delivered the Easter Saturday Fun Run for the benefit of the town and participants. What’s the most important current community issue for you? I believe that participation in sporting and

Adam Fendyk physical activities is critical to our well-being. Junior participation and retention rates have been particularly impacted after the lockdowns and disruptions over the past few years. This however is not limited to juniors. What would you do to solve, change or improve that situation? The BFNC endeavours to provide a place where people want to be. To have fun, get fit and learn new skills, to participate in team sport and get to know people. I would encourage more people to come on down to the club and have some fun. What’s the most important current world issue for you? The global COVID recovery is proving to be troublesome but for me today (ironically) it is access to water. If the person you would most like to meet came to Indigo, or was already here, who would that be and what would you show them? I would take my business associate Gerben from the Netherlands to Mount Stanley. Why would you show him that? I really appreciate the enjoyment he gets when he drives up and down hills. Something we take for granted! And the view from the top on a clear day is stunning. What book are you reading? ‘Still’ by Matt Nable. A murder intrigue set in Darwin in the early 60s, seemingly dealing with many of today’s social issues.

Saunders sandgreen supremo L Local l golfer lf takes k out NEDGA p p title once again g championship A SLIGHTLY bigger field assembled at Beechworth Golf Club on Sunday, which was good to see despite five men and six women members representing the club at Rutherglen in the NEDGA Sandgreen Championships. On the home front it was tight at the top with Jamie Dolny (17) winning by one point with 33 points. There was a three way countback for second on 32 points with George Ward (21) coming in second place in front of Dean Howard (17) 32 Jacob Howard (12) 32. Peter Smith claimed a nearest the pin on the 10th. Over at Rutherglen the players were greeted with cold and foggy conditions. Players were hitting the ball out of sight all morning until the fog cleared at midday and the afternoon was played in great conditions. Vaughan Saunders added his name again to the Sandgreen trophy having by far the best score of the day finishing with one under off the stick for the 27 holes. Vaughan also had the best handicap score of the day taking home the other perpetual trophy on offer for the overall 27 hole nett lowest score. Darren Edwards won the A Grade 27 hole nett. Andy Croome, Zane Howard and Dylan Pool were also there but were way off in featuring in the prizes. In the women’s 18 hole event, Deb Tully and Anne Geddis both won a ball. Beechworth were by far

the best represented club in the women’s event making up around a quarter of the field. Nada Guyatt, Pam Nankervis, Doyna Collins and Glenda Marshall also represented the club but, like the before mentioned men, did not feature in the prizes. This coming Sunday is the Dederang Tournament for the men; they are also holding a three person Ambrose on the Saturday if that is more your game. At Beechworth there will be a Stableford event. Just a few dates of note for the upcoming weeks for Sunday golf. June 12: (Queen’s Birthday weekend) Stroke Monthly Medal. June 19: Tallangatta Tournament. Stableford at Beechworth. June 26: 1st Round Men’s Club Championships. (Top 8 Matchplay Qualifying). July 3: 2nd Round Championships. (Monthly Medal) July 10: 3rd Round Club Championships. July 17: Final Round Club Championships. Remember for the championships it is the best three out of four rounds that count so if you miss one round you are still in it. An early reminder for members that the NEDGA Fourball Championships are on at Black Bull on July 26 so start finding a partner now. Entries will open soon. You won’t get a much better chance to play there for such a good price.
