Caravan park primed to develop COMMUNITY debate has emerged in Beechworth following Indigo Shire Council’s adoption of its draft Caravan Park Masterplan for four parks around the shire at last month’s council meeting. Some Beechworth community members have raised concerns about the lack of public consultation with the proposed development. Local resident Kerry Bromage said she was worried about the potential loss of many trees to the area and the environmental, aesthetic and visual impacts. Ms Bromage said many people around town she has spoken to were unaware of

the proposal that carries a September 27 submission cut-off date of date for public comment. She believes additional communication channels should have been used to raise awareness in the community besides council relying on digital media platforms, such as the community consultation undertaken in 2015 for the Lake

Sambell development when stalls and display boards were set up in the town’s CBD with staff to answer questions. “It’s quite difficult to find the public display on their website and a lot of people struggle with accessing computer sites,” she said. Ms Bromage said the proposal includes a new residence, office and carpark at the caravan park’s entrance near the caravan park sign with boom gate and cabins and glamping tents on the other side of the lake near a

foreshore area. Ms Bromage said, according to the plan, the current park boundary will extend into the public area by 12 metres to accommodate the cabins. “The wetlands area will be affected if they go ahead with the proposed water park idea and I believe there will be an impact on wildlife,” she said. “That area of the caravan park, under the current lease is an overflow camping area, and there are no dwellings, cabins or other infrastruc-

ture there. It is a beautiful green area. “The area would be visually affected from the wellused walkway around the lake to the east and west too.” “And there is also another six acre boundary adjustment which is currently part of Beechworth recreation reserve on the eastern side.” “It is a draft plan but in the council agenda it states that following the community consultation process, it is unlikely to have an impact on the outcome. ■ Continued page 7

Community Volunteers Expo on Sunday By CORAL COOKSLEY LOCAL community members thinking about becoming a volunteer with a local organisation can grab information at the Community Volunteers Expo being held at the Servicemen’s Memorial Hall in Ford Street on Sunday from 10am to 2.30pm. Hosted by the Beechworth Lions Club, reprew sentatives will be on hand from around 20 various community groups under one roof where prospective volunteers can have a chat. v

Lions’ president John Eldrid said volunteers are the backbone of the community. Community volunteers can share their experiences and have the chance to network and broaden their knowledge of community groups involved too,” he said. “Volunteers are in many instances constantly changing so it’s good to be able to network with other volunteers at such an event.” “We hope to attract a number of interested peo-

ple and also hope that Beechworth community members would like to pop in and see what the volunteers of the town are doing.” Mr Eldrid said he also hoped community organisations taking up the challenge on the day will achieve their goals by having the opportunity to showcase their organisation and recruit new volunteers. The Lions Club plans for the volunteer expo to be an annual event with the first one held last year.

BEECHWORTH Red Cross Branch members received special awards at an annual general meeting held last month. Red Cross Zone 9 Representative Libby Grant presented three long service awards with a ten year one presented to Chris Hamilton and Di Schultz, both in Red Cross Emergency Services as well while Gwen Gray received a thirty year long service bar. Local Red Cross Branch chair Julia Smith said Gwen had held the secretary’s position from 1992 to 2001, had been the Beechworth Blood Unit coordinator from 1997 to 2005 and has been the Zone delegate from 1997 to the present date. “Gwen received a Special Award of Merit in 2001 and a Distinguished Service Award in 2016,” Ms Smith said. “She has been an integral member of the Branch’s catering service since its inception, with her cooking skills and delicious recipes to share.” Mrs Gray said service to others had been her main calling where she found being a Red Cross volunteer very rewarding. Secretary Linley Sewell received a Service Award for an excellent contribution to branch activities, its catering service and as an Emergency Services team member. Ms Smith said Linley attended relief centres during the Black Summer Bushfires in 2019-20, including travelling to Omeo with Di Schultz and spent some time there registering people and offering personal support. “She has been a committed Red Cross member for more than a decade,” she said. “Both Linley and Di were two of several members of the

Linley said being a Red Cross volunteer is also a way of giving back to the community. Ms Smith said members had been busy during the year where the catering service raised $10,778 with the Red Cross Calling appeal netting $2,080 for the month of

March. From income and donations received, the branch forwarded funds to Australian Red Cross for the Afghanistan Crisis appeal; NSW and Queensland Floods appeal; Ukraine appeal and the Overseas Support Group Project “Rebuilding Ukraine Lives” as well as $3,500 donated to the Disaster and Recovery program. “Funds were also donated locally too,” she said. Incumbent office bearers were re-elected to their positions for the 2022-23 years, except for Rosemary Barnett (deputy chair) who did not seek reappointment, and Julia thanked her valuable work undertaken over the last two years. The Branch welcomed new deputy chair Linda Erskine to the role.

Cranked up for veteran car show V Veteran cars flock k to Beechworth in economic boost for indigo Shire By CORAL COOKSLEY ENGINE lovers with 28 veteran cars built prior to 1919 will showcase their prized metal possessions in Beechworth, Chiltern and Yackandandah over the weekend. The 52-member group from the Veteran Car Club of Australia (Victoria) will have some rare unknown cars such as Fabrique Nationale, Minerva, Hotchkiss and Chalmers models on display too. Beechworth car club member David Boyd said from yesterday to Sunday the group will have trips around the regions within daily runs from Beechworth. Yesterday they chugged to Milawa Cheese Factory via Everton and Markwood returning via Tarrawingee while today the journey takes them to Tallangatta via Yackandandah, Allens Flat and Tangambalanga and returning via Wodonga. Tomorrow the itinerary takes them to Mt Beauty via Stanley, Myrtleford and Ovens, returning through Yackandandah while on Sunday morning the group travels to Chiltern, will have lunch at Barnawartha Star Hotel and then back to Beechworth. Mr Boyd said he has been a member of the club for five years and he loves the chance to get out and run the vehicles, meet up with friends and make new ones with a shared interest.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: Members of the Veteran Car Club of Australia (Victoria) have brought their marvellous machines to tour and show in Beechworth and surrounds this weekend. “There are a lot of benefits for the community too when the club comes to the town as the group bases themselves in Beechworth staying at motels and the caravan park where the cabins are full, and they have meals out.” “It’s good for the community, as well as having the cars here creates a point of interest. Mr Boyd said he liked old vehicles and

loved his 1914 Model T Ford. “I like to see the way they were designed back in those days and the way they run,” he said. “I’ve had my veteran car for about five years and it was originally rebuilt by a friend of mine in Melbourne about 40 years ago, but he got beyond being able to drive it then it sat in his shed for about 12 years not being used until I found out about it.” “I bought it from him and put it back

into service.” The cars will be on display at Lake Sambell’s Sandy Beach car park area in McConville Avenue at 8.45am today, tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday, Yackandandah from around 3pm to 4pm with some cars in the Foodworks car park and others in the main street on Saturday, and in Chiltern on Sunday from 9.30am to 11am beside Lake Anderson near the caravan park entrance.

Roles of writers and artists to be questioned By CORAL COOKSLEY QUESTIONS around the roles of writers and artists in a time of climate emergency, multispecies extinctions, and intensifying social injustices will be asked at an event being hosted by the ‘Winterwords’ at the Beechworth Town Hall later this month. The session ‘Unwriting Disaster: In Conversation’ postponed from the Winterwords celebration in June has been rebadged as ‘Springwords’ to provide a suggestion of hope. Melbourne University artist, writer and lecturer Tessa Laird will join creative writing lecturer Hayley Singer in conversation. The academics will discuss how writers are paradigm shifters, bringing new language and undervalued perspectives into public space. Tessa has an interest in the intersections between art and animal studies, ethics and aesthetics, na-

ture and cultures while Hayley publishes essays on literature and ecologies, reading and writing as worlds end and begin again. Winterwords Festival committee member, Beechworth’s Lesley Milne, said her interest in Tessa’s work had been captured after reading the introduction to the edition of ‘Art + Australia’ edited by Tessa entitled ‘Multinaturalism’. “It drew attention to the huge losses in biodiversity from bushfires, deforestation, extraction and despoliation and ravaged landscapes,” she said, and the responses made by artists and writers. “There’s anger and despair but also hope. “As part of ‘ Winterwords’ celebration of words, we want to examine the role of writers and the part their words and thinking play in providing hope in times of crisis. “As we emerge from the impacts of bushfires, drought, floods and a global pandemic, we look at wheth-

er the written word has the power to prompt change. “I think writers reflect our current state, but they also challenge us to think about what actions we might take to improve situations. “What will be interesting is that they are going to share the work of a number of contemporary writers in a polyphonic reading of extracts from short stories, essays and poetry that should be of particular interest to local writers, activists and changemakers.” Hayley Singer has contributed to former Beechworth Writers, Readers and Poets (WRAP) weekends running writing workshops and worked with Stanley Athenaeum members on some of the stories of the women of Stanley from which the book ‘Hearts of Gold, Minds of Metal’ evolved.” The cost is $10 and tickets for the session to be held on Sunday, September 25 at 11am can be purchased at Sticky Tickets at www. stickytickets.com.au/e2FLA.

Haines wins prestigious award INDEPENDENT Indi federal MP Helen Haines has been awarded the prestigious Alan Missen Award by the Accountability Round Table, in recognition of her work to introduce a federal integrity commission. Dr Haines was a joint recipient of the award with Independent Member for Warringah Zali Steggall and former Independent Senator Rex Patrick, recognising her work in the 46th Parliament drafting and introducing the Australian Federal Integrity Commission Bill. In his remarks about Dr Haines, Accountability Round Table director Professor Spencer Zifcak said the Australian Federal Integrity Commission Bill was a “first class anti corruption law” and “a draft bill as fine as it could possibly be”. Professor Zifcak said Dr Haines’ Bill had been “very influential” in shaping the bill for the National AntiCorruption Commission, which the government is set to introduce next week. “I am honoured and humbled to accept this award, which recognises years of work from many people, all working towards bringing integrity and accountability in federal politics,” Dr Haines said. “It is fitting that this announcement was made as

that a culture of integrity is ingrained at all levels of politics and government. “I look forward to working with the government to improve the National AntiCorruption Commission and to continue to champion integrity and accountability in politics. “At its heart, this award

Letters to the editor No climate emergency at Indigo Council MANY of us have been deeply shocked and angered by Indigo Council’s announcement regarding the Lake Sambell Caravan Park Masterplan. This $18 million development includes 6x4star cabins and seven glamping tents overlooking the lake, three eco style cabins, four cycling bunk houses, lots more powered sites, a boom gate, new resident house at the entrance, new camp kitchen building with meeting room, barbecue area on the edge of the lake and the list goes on. The inclusion, in this plan, of an indoor pool that residents might be able to use in the offseason is especially galling for local residents, particularly for those with mobility issues, who have been calling for such a facility for years. Despite a comprehensive 93-page, $60,000 Beechworth pool study released at the December 2021 council meeting, council chose to again re-line the bottom of the aging pool. Residents and visitors alike note the continuing deterioration of the publicly owned Lake Sambell Reserve which is meant to be cared for by the council on behalf of State Government departments. During a recent upgrade of the walking track on the Lower Stanley side of the lake we were advised that “some vegetation” that may be a hazardous to walkers, would be cleared. We were startled to see the number of large trees and bushes that were removed right the way up to Lower Stanley Road. This was alarming considering council’s call for a climate emergency especially when you take into account the $750,000 native vegetation offset already incurred in the yet-to-becompleted Beechworth to Yackandandah cycle track and the pending Epic Mountain Bike Track. Questions need to be asked about what engagement processes were used in this secretive proposal for which we are now being

asked to prepare submissions. The sheer number of budget submissions and pre-budget surveys should set alarms ringing. Are we to be ignored yet again as the push for new assets continue? Where is the support for properly funding existing community assets and infrastructure items that directly benefit the residents, such as sealing unmade/dangerous roads, drainage and footpaths, etc? Enough is enough, your help is needed to protect the unique and irreplaceable amenity of our Lake Sambell Reserve. Our koalas and other abundant native flora and fauna need refuge, a place to flourish and thrive and not have their natural environment destroyed. Christine Stewart and Bob Bennett, Beechworth

Fair go for all call Maxwell ramps up community campaign for firefigghter p presumptive rights p g By SHANE DOUTHIE WA N G A R AT TA - b a s e d state MP Tania Maxwell has ramped up her community campaign to add femalespecific ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers to Victoria’s schedule of firefighter presumptive rights. The Derryn Hinch Justice Party MP said firefighters currently have presumptive rights to medical and financial help if they are diagnosed with any of 12 cancers because of their career or volunteer firefighting work. “Only two months ago the World Health Organisation cancer agency (IARC) reclassified firefighting as an occupation carcinogenic to humans,” Ms Maxwell, a CFA volunteer herself, said. “So, with more and more women becoming career and volunteer firefighters, it’s vital the government adds these three female-specific cancers to Victoria’s list. “The state should have all firefighters’ backs when they’re protecting our lives, communities, property and environment. “It’s simply a matter of safety and equality.” The inequity could not have been made more stark than at her ‘Do Gooder’ cam-

paign launch in Wangaratta on Monday where female firefighter with Wangaratta Urban Fire Brigade, Monique Hillenaar, revealed she only learned about the disparity that morning in a page message to attend the media conference. “It was a bit of a shock,” Ms Hillenaar said. “I fall into the category of not realising (the presumptive rights do not include cancers more commonly found in women). “I do think it is probably discriminatory.” Ms Hillenaar said if Ms Maxwell’s legislation was passed it would encourage her to remain in the job for years to come, but a continued lack of action would have many female firefighters and volunteers question whether they stay involved. Ms Maxwell first moved to bring on the change when she put an amendment to the Forests Amendment (Forest Firefighters’ Presumptive Rights Compensation) Bill 2021 in October last year. “The government committed then and there to consultation, a review of the latest medical and scientific advice, and involving me in discussions with women firefighters,” she said.

“Seven months later - in May, this year - I introduced a private member’s bill to legislate the addition of ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers to the presumptive rights schedule, and the government promised a lasting solution ‘at the proper time’. “Then the World Health Organisation’s cancer agency (IARC) in July announced its reclassification of firefighting as a cause of cancer. “With the strong support of Volunteer Fire Brigades of Victoria, members of Fire Services Victoria, Country Fire Authority and the United Firefighters Union, surely ‘the proper time’ has arrived for the government to act.” Garry Nash, Deputy Group Officer of Wangaratta Group, seemed equally stunned the message about the lack of support for the 12 cancers had not been communicated better to female officers and members. “We thought the message was being out there and we will do more on that,” he said. Dr Julian Fidge, also a CFA volunteer, said it was irrational for the government to say it did not have the data to extend the presumptive rights for the identified can-

CALL FOR EQUALITY: Tania Maxwell (Derryn Hinch Justice Party MP), Monique Hillenaar (Wangaratta Urban firefighter) and Garry Nash (Deputy Group Officer of Wangaratta Group) have called on the State Government to urgently include female-specific cancers to Victoria’s schedule of firefighter presumptive rights. PHOTO: Kurt Hickling cers for women. “Women are people too and could be equally, if not more affected, by these firefighting risks,” he said. Ms Maxwell encouraged firefighters and people in communities across Victoria to log into https://presumptiverights.good.do/womenfirefightersdeservepresumptiverights/ and call on their MPs to back presumptive rights for these female-specific cancers. We’re working on it, says government In a statement to the Wangaratta Chronicle yesterday, Emergency Services Minister Jaclyn Symes said

the government takes its responsibility to provide the support volunteer and career firefighters and staff need to do this job seriously and these nation-leading reforms reflect that responsibility. “We will continue to build and strengthen the protections provided to workers, including through presumptive rights,” Ms Symes said. “This includes work to consider an expansion of the list of cancers under this scheme, including consideration of the three femalebased cancers: cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer, and a number of other

cancers recently added to similar schemes in North America. “It’s important that we get it right, which is why we’re currently in the process of consulting on and developing an informed and clear approach to these issues - as we said we’d do. “We are working hard to ensure women are encouraged to become firefighters with over $8 million in the 2022-23 budget for female facilities - and the CFA has established a Womens Advisory Committee and providing women’s General Firefighter training to support female firefighters.”

Independent IBAC funding critical to restoring integrity to politics: Hawkins

WELCOME BLESSING: The plaque acknowledging First Nations Peoples will be blessed by The Right Reverend Clarence Bester next Wednesday in Beechworth.

Everyone welcome in journey of faith CHRIST Church Beechworth will welcome the Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Wangaratta next Wednesday, September 14. The Right Reverend Clarence Bester will bless the plaque acknowledging First w Nations Peoples. “There have been many delays along the way since the plaque was installed, but we are now thrilled to extend an open invitation to the community to join us for the ceremony at 10.45 (following the 10am service) and for a cuppa afterwards,” said Fran Robertson, one of the w Church Wardens. “Our mission is to welcome everyone to join us in our journey of faith, and addressing injustice and promoting reconciliation is a vital part of that.”

AS talk around the Victorian election in November turns to integrity and anti-corruption, Independent candidate for Benambra, Jacqui Hawkins has highlighted the need for independent funding of the state’s Independent Broad-based Anticorruption Commission (IBAC). Ms Hawkins said her conversations with members of the community during her campaign reinforced the need for a focus on integrity this election. “People have said to me that they want to see respect and trust returned to politics,” she said. “Locals are telling me that they want their elected representatives to conduct themselves in ways that align with community expectations, and for their taxes to be used for the public good. “Both major parties talk the talk of integrity, but they don’t walk the walk. “Over the past four years, both major parties have bent the rules to serve their own agendas. “They’ve misdirected their ministerial staff to perform party-political work, they’ve used public money for party activities, they’ve allowed an organisational culture to take hold that hinders attempts to detect and eliminate misconduct. “The parties have had four years to clean up state parliament by empowering and adequately resourcing IBAC.

“Those four years have been years of inaction. It’s time to do it properly.” Ms Hawkins said IBAC was hampered in its capacity to bring integrity back to politics, and required not only increased, secure and ongoing funding, but funding independence. “If I were elected to parliament, I would lobby not only for increased funding for IBAC and the Victorian Ombudsman, but for funding independence for IBAC,” she said. “The problem with IBAC, currently, is that its ability to investigate and make decisions about political corruption and integrity is dependent upon the willingness of the government of the day to fund its investigations. “IBAC’s head, Robert Redlich, has called for the body to be independently funded by state parliament, not just the party in government. “IBAC also needs increased funding, and funding certainty, to be able to do its important work. I’m committed to pushing hard for this.” Ms Hawkins said she would also advocate for the full, formal adoption of all 21 recommendations from IBAC’s Operation Watts report, including investment in the establishment of a Parliamentary Ethics Committee and independent Parliamentary Integrity Commissioner. “We need systems and pro-

INTEGRITY BOOST: Independent candidate for Benambra Jacqui Hawkins would push for independent funding of the state’s IBAC if she wins the seat at the upcoming election. “The community can feel confident that, as an Independent, I would go to state parliament with its interests in mind, and do all I could to ensure the independence and strength of those bodies that are most critical to restoring integrity to politics in Victoria.” For more information on Ms Hawkins’ Independent campaign for Benambra, visit www. jacquihawkins.org.

cesses in place in state parliament to monitor the ethical obligations of MPs, and to receive and investigate complaints about possible breaches of the parliamentary code of conduct,” she said. She also flagged that she would advocate for the strengthening and legislation of Victoria’s outdated code regulating the behaviour of corporate lobbyists.

C Caravan park k primed to develop ■

From page 1 “That’s important as this park is located in a community asset and the proposed plan will have a huge impact,” she said. Ms Bromage said a better overall development plan could be undertaken with community consultation needed in the process. Indigo Shire CEO Trevor Ierino said there has been no change to the Caravan Park lease boundary in the Draft Masterplan concept design. “The Draft Masterplan has been developed with a 10 year framework and any investment in development or possible boundary adjustments are subject to all the usual planning and building permit requirements and environmental and cultural assessments,” he said. Mr Ierino said the Draft Caravan Park Masterplan has been developed in consultation with the land owner (DELWP), land manager (Council) and the current lease holders. He said the 2015 engagement process for the Lake Sambell development - a public space - had been undertaken while Lake Sambell Park is operated under a commercial lease arrangement. Mr Ierino said the current public exhibition invites the community to make submissions to council for consideration. “All submissions are thoroughly reviewed and presented to council,” he said. “Feedback informs the review and final masterplan detail before council consider a final plan for adoption. “As with all masterplans, community members are advised of the public exhibition on council’s website, social media and weekly update. “The Draft Masterplan is available to read or to download via the ‘Have Your Say’ section on council’s website and/or at the library where hard copies are available.”

Performers and sponsors are gearing up for a great night to celebrate the hard work by volunteers and everyone involved,” she said. “It is an opportunity to say thank you to the community for an event which is largely community funded.” Ms Machielse Hunt said the winning artwork will be announced at 8.30pm with the $10,000 prize awarded to the artist by guest judge Sebastian Goldspink, curator of the 2022 Adelaide Biennale.

There will be an eclectic mix of 10 different artist’s works across 10 different sites in and around the Beechworth’s CBD. Audiences are encouraged to visit just before dark, with many of the artworks viewed best at night where projections will only be screened after sun down. Contemporary artists selected for the exhibition are Yandell Walton with a site-specific digital video work ‘Remnant Futures.’ Work will be projected onto the old Ovens and Murray Hospital facade using emergent technologies including mobile scanning devices, photogrammetry, motion capture and 3D animation. Sculptor Bruce Armstrong, of Melbourne’s ‘Bunjil’ fame, has created in his distinctive totemic style, a magpie sitting on a column to be positioned on a site at the top of the town. He created this work in response to the magpie song enjoyed on previous visits to Beechworth. Nationally recognised artist Harrie Fasher, well-known for her three-dimensional horse sculptures, will transport her work ‘’The Space Behind’ from her NSW-based foundry in Portland. A 1.6 tonne horse sculpture will light up after dark with digital animations of the artist’s abstract drawings. Also viewed best at night will be a bright pink neon rhombus,

Sydney based and well respected artists Nuha Saad and Deborah Kelly will also be exhibiting, with artist Susie Losch exhibiting her inflatable sculptures and soundscape to transform the historic Town Hall.

CAPTURED IDEAS: Beechworth poet Frank Prem finds it magical for strangers on the other side of the world responding to ideas reflected in his poetry or writing.

A way with words FRANK Prem was born in Hamburg, Germany, in transit. His parents were in the process of migrating out of what was then Yugoslavia, and found themselves living in Germany for about a year. “We arrived in the Bonegilla Migrant Camp in 1957, when I was about 10 months old and we settled into Beechworth almost straight away,” Frank said. What’s your job? I spent around 45 years working as a psychiatric nurse and have left nursing just in the last year or so. In a way I am working at two careers right now. One is as a poet and writer - I have released around 17 poetry collections in book form. The second is my involvement in design, production and publication of the books with very different skill sets and demands. Why did you become a poet and publisher? I have been a writer of poetry since high school days and always dreamed of being published, but realised fairly early on that no mainstream or traditional publisher was likely to take a chance on a mug poet from the sticks who had no connections in the industry. In the last decade or so, print-on-demand publishing has made it possible for me to become a publisher in my own right, producing industry standard books, and with world-wide distribution through web-based book stores. What do you love about being a poet? To have a thought that can be captured and reflected in a poem or a piece of writing, and to have a stranger on the other side of the world be able to share and respond to that thought. To me, this is a magical process. What do you do in the community? For the most part, I involve myself in writing related events and activities. In Beechworth, it has been a great pleasure to participate in the Winterwords Festival over the last couple of years as a presenter and also by conducting poetry workshops. Beechworth is a wonderful small town and it is a joy for me to see ideas about the use of

Frank Prem, Beechworth words take root and contribute to the local culture. What’s the most important current community issue for you? I’m astonished about the extent of recent change in our community - particularly development into areas we never dreamed could be developed when I was younger. What would you do to solve, change or improve that situation? Turn the clock back about 30 years, perhaps. No, only joking. Change is inevitable, but I hope those involved keep one eye on what makes this area attractive, so as not to lose it. What’s the most important current world issue for you? The devastation of Ukraine is utterly appalling. 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? AB (The Banjo) Paterson. I’d like to show him the Beechworth Gorge, as I knew it when I was free-roaming around it back when I was still a kid. Why would you show him that? The Gorge was a special place when I was young - wild and overgrown. It represents the freedom of childhood to me. Nowadays, it is differently special. I love the native flowers and local flora. What book are you reading? ‘The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying’ written by Sogyal Rinpoche in 1992 is currently on my bedside and inspiring new poetry.

Golfers get in the spring swing ON a beautiful spring day last Sunday, it was good to see a good field of players front up for the Monthly Medal and quite a few social golfers out on course as well. Unfortunately the good weather didn’t bring out good golf, as Jamie Dolny won the Monthly Medal with a score of 91/18/73. There was a three way countback required for the runner up position with Rod Shaw (30) 75, edging out Dave Lang (19) 75 and Zane How-

ard (22) 75. No one was good enough to hit their tee shot on the green on any of the par 3s but Jacob Howard did manage to hit his tee shot on the par 4 second to two feet and roll in the eagle to claim the 16 beers in the Eagle’s nest. Well done Yogi. Jamie also organised a few prizes for a raffle with a bit of a father’s day theme and Dave Lang was the happy winner. Last Wednesday there was

a small field that assembled for a Stableford event. The winner was Nada Guyatt (28) with 27 points on a countback from Debbie Tully (25) 27. Gail Smith claimed a nearest the pin on the 10th. Well done also to Gail Smith who was right up the top of the placegetters on Monday at Mansfield in the foursomes event that is part of the NEDGA women’s Championships. There are a number of

Win or go home BEECHWORTH Bushrangers will have to win their way into the grand final the hard way after falling to minor premiers Chiltern 11.15 (81) to 5.11 (41) on Saturday at Sandy Creek. The Swans jumped the Bushrangers out of the gate, kicking the first four goals of the match; but through hard working midfielder Alessandro Belci, the Bushrangers were able to close the gap to just nine points at half-time to give them a fighting chance. A goalless third quarter though allowed the Swans to run away with proceedings and book a spot in their first senior football grand final since 2006. Bushrangers co-coach Tom Cartledge said Chiltern’s fresher legs after having the week off played a part in their ability to break the Bushrangers open. “We just had a bit of an off day, they played quite well and we unfortunately played poorly,” he said. “Previous weeks we’ve been super clean and have been able to break away from stoppages, but we were a bit clumsy and just weren’t clean with the ball. “We probably underestimated the impact on fatigue in the legs and should’ve freshened up a bit more during the week. “But credit to Chiltern, they played really well and we just fell away in crucial areas unfortunately.” Kiewa Sandy Creek now await the Bushrangers in the preliminary final after their narrow six point win over Dederang Mount Beauty on Sunday. In preparation for the rematch of their thrilling qualifying final a fortnight ago, Cartledge said

the main focus this time around will be keeping his side fresh and moving forward quickly to ensure the boys are full of confidence and have removed any doubts about the loss. “The way we go about playing Kiewa will be much the same, that won’t change much,” he said. “We’re probably going to have a lighter week on the track, just talk about a few things we might want to tighten up with our game play and also just to re-assure the boys not to lose any confidence, it was a bad day across the board, we’ll shake it off and move on. “We’re not going to gain anything out of fitness and the skills aren’t going to improve much more on the track, if anything it’ll be a good thing to touch the footy a little bit less and go into the game feeling fresh and excited.” Finals time has brought out big numbers of support each weekend in Beechworth’s first senior football finals run in over a decade. Cartledge said he has been taken away by the backing of the local community. “It’s unreal, the support from the whole town has been really good, it’s always been good but you certainly notice it a bit more now, there’s a bit more excitement,” he said. “Just about everyone you see in the street or in the supermarket wants to have a quick chat or they have some words of encouragement, you certainly feel the love from the community.”
