Bringing the past to the present A VIRTUAL tour website launched at the Mayday Hills Art Society premises for the former Mayday Hills Mental Asylum and Beechworth Cemetery last Thursday brings a rich history of the past into the present.

A small research team of three headed by Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Associate Professor Jennifer Munday over five years interviewed former staff, patients, families, and Beechworth residents for stories.

ern Cross University in Lismore, the three had worked on the project since 2016.

The collaborative project with funding from Telematics Trust helped Charles Sturt University in using technology and creating web content from participants in the research.

“With funding I was able to bring on board my col-

leagues from CSU Wagga campus Patrick McKenzie, Tim Crutchet, Damien Maloney and Dr James Farley for the virtual website that started in 2019,” she said.

The websites with drone footage of the asylum and Beechworth Cemetery buildings and grounds with virtual tours, visual and audio content developed by the team takes viewers around both sites.

Viewers can tap into the website with artifacts and

stories from staff, patients, families, and Beechworth residents.

Professor Munday said the historically significant project had given the asylum a sense of place in Victoria’s history and its meaning for the community.

“People are really interested to find out about people who lived and worked at the asylum and there are so many connections,” she said.

“It’s not a finished project as we intend to keep visiting

Professor Munday said a QR code on the plaque of a soldier’s graves in the Beechworth Cemetery will tell their story as well.

“As Beechworth is an historic town, people wishing to visit can get a taste of history before they arrive,” she said.

Professor Munday said there will be links between the virtual and physical sites and the future.

Tour de Cure rides into Beechworth

By CORAL COOKSLEY CHANNEL 7’s Sunrise beamed into households around the nation from Beechworth on Tuesday with sports presenter and Tour de Cure campaigner Mark Beretta covering the tour on its 1445km ride over nine days to Canberra.

On a quest to raise $2 million through individual fundraising efforts over the last 12 months, money will fund cancer research, support and prevention projects Australiawide.

The tour kicked off from Geelong last Friday with 152 cyclists streaming into Beechworth early Tuesday morning.

Yarrawonga Lions Club Turban Angels that make free

turbans to support people suffering hair loss from cancer treatment, and one of nine local community groups along the way to receive a $10,000 grant, had a chance to say thank you to Tour de Cure.

Turban Angels’ Van Corler said 50,000 turbans have been made since the project started in June 2015.

“Tuesday meant the world to our project as the $10,000 allows us to update our machines and cover our freight costs, plus purchase threads and fabrics to be able to continue this project,” she said.

Mr Beretta, who has cycled in the tour for the last 13 years, said $75 million had been raised since the even started 14 years ago and more than

550 cancer projects had been funded contributing to 55 scientific cancer breakthroughs.

“We’re really lucky to come back to Beechworth as it’s a great experience where people are so friendly and welcoming,” he said.

Beechworth’s Lynn Frerichs who enjoyed a bacon and egg sandwich from Beechworth Rotary Club that helped with breakfast said it had been amazing to have Tour de Cure come to the town.

“I’m proud of our town for hosting the event where the community had been invited to join in too,” she said.

“Tour de Cure really do an amazing job of raising money and donating to local charities as well such as Turban Angels,” she said.

From page 1 Dr Alison Watts has a direct link to the asylum as her grandmother Alba Watts (1912-1973) was a patient in the 1950s and 1960s.

“Stories about patients had been hard to find but there are very sad ones,” she said.

“Mayday Hills Asylum that closed in 1995 has a strong sense of place as it is still here and it is really important to have an understanding of the mental health practices,” she said.

Indi MP Helen Haines, who launched the website, said important stories had been told about staff and patients as well as the visual exploration of Mayday Hills and the Beechworth Cemetery.

As an example, Dr Haines cited WW1 soldiers who had been patients at the asylum and buried in the cemetery with their war trauma not understood.

“We can connect stories of the past to inform us about the future,” she said.

“This is a place of historical significance not only the buildings and the gardens but the model of care used in those days.

“It demonstrates that we’ve come a long way from the shocking stigma that surrounded the asylum.”

Researcher Professor Eillen Clark said having a website to ensure graves are marked for people who served their country brought important work out into the public too.

“People are becoming more aware of history and places like the asylum are important in preserving it,” she said.

Indigo Shire mayor Bernard Gaffney said the project will be a boon for tourism in Beechworth and the shire.

Health project for older people ramps up

By CORAL COOKSLEY

ANOTHER GO: Dr Julian Fidge is representing the Liberal Democrats for Indi at the 2022 federal election.

Third time lucky for Dr Fidge?

JULIAN Fidge is the fifth person to announce his candidacy in the upcoming federal election for the seat of Indi.

It will be the Wangaratta general practitioner’s third tilt as a candidate for Indi and this time he is flying the flag of the Liberal Democrats.

He launched his campaign yesterday, highlighting the need for urgent relief at the petrol pump.

Dr Fidge said there is only one party calling for the immediate and permanent cut to the fuel excise tax.

“The Liberal Democrats pledge to cut the 44.2 cent per litre fuel tax will see us return to the glory days of lower fuel prices,” national president and party founder, Dr John Humphreys, said.

“The fuel excise tax coupled with GST added to the total is an outrageous ‘double-tax’ on Australians.

“During the height of the pandemic when fuel dropped below 90c per litre in w many places, the double taxation of excise and GST saw government taxes make up over 50 per cent of the cost.”

A COLLABORATIVE high profile project between Beechworth Health Services (BHS) and LaTrobe University with other health service partners launched by Indi independent MP Helen Haines at the George Kerferd Hotel last week aims to improve health outcomes for older people in Indigo Shire.

The initiative is built upon research undertaken by Dr Kathleen Brasher - a passionate advocate of age-friendly communities who earlier led the project which started in 2019 working with a consortium and known as the PRIMM Indigo 4Ms Model of Care.

One of several guest speakers, Dr Brasher delivered an address about her findings.

The project received funding of $420,000 from the Commonwealth Government Primary Rural Innovative Multidisciplinary Model (PRIMM) of care program.

The collaborative venture with the John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research at La Trobe University is to develop a guide that outlines an integrated approach to the care of older rural adults.

Health Organisation ICOPE guidelines and the Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) helped to identify the four most important discussion points for older adults - what matters, medication, mental wellbeing and mobility.

BHS chief executive Mark Ashcroft said the health services is committed to the philosophy and understanding of asking patients and residents what really matters to them.

“Strategically today’s launch gives a direction in moving forward as the pandemic delayed the project,” he said.

“We hope this work provides a model of care that is transferable and can be replicated for other area health services.

“It provides a real connection between health providers, the health care system and patients and residents in being able to connect around what matters most to patients and resident for their care.”

Project manager Jan Lang said the next step is co-design where people will join together in sharing ideas on the prescribed model’s fit for rural communities.

“It’s wonderful we can get together today and think about the model going forward,” she said.

Bushranger ballad to open Ian Jones tribute event

By CORAL COOKSLEY TWO well-known local musicians will tomorrow entertain the crowd in a welcome for the opening of the inaugural memorial event honouring the late Ian Jones, ‘The Australian’ identity.

The event organised by the Friends of the Burke Museum is paying tribute Mr Jones’ contributions in portraying the character of Australians and his support of the Robert O’Hara Burke Museum.

Mr Jones through his work in journalism, film, television and the recording of Australian history, had contributed to the definition of the Australian identity as well being recognised as a leading authority on the Ned Kelly story.

Lazy Harry (alias Mark Stephens) will sing ‘Ballad of the Kellys’ accompanied by Sandra Williams on the Beechworth Town Hall’s historic pipe organ.

The ballad is believed to have been written by bushranger Joe Byrne and Kelly gang member.

Event project manager John Baines said organisers are thrilled with number of

Not enough staff to manage camping spots OVERGROWN, weed-infested Crown Land camping spots with “permanent” tenancies are making a mockery of Labor’s bid to establish more camping on leased riverfront farm land, according to Benambra MP Bill Tilley.

He has asked the Environment Minister to reveal just how many DELWP and Parks Victoria staff are available to police the existing Crown Land camping sites in the electorate.

Last week in the Victorian Parliament, Mr Tilley said authorities were struggling to keep up with managing what they had now, let alone what might be identified in this new review.

“Reach out to people whose properties sit next to these existing Crown Land camping spots and ask them if they are maintained, what response they get when there is anti-social

behaviour, what’s done about weeds,” he said.

“Whether it’s the Murray at Rutherglen, the Mitta or Kiewa I can tell you they’re not happy.

“I believe the departments just don’t have enough staff.”

Mr Tilley said some campers had set up “home” in reserves despite limits on their stay.

“We’re blessed with some idyllic Crown Land camping reserves but some of these campers have been there for years, all to the detriment of other users,” he said.

“These squatters are only too aware that they won’t be evicted.

“As I said in the parliament this issue needs to be addressed before unleashing their hit squads picking winners and losers on our farmers’ riverfront leases.”

Last year, landholders protested at parliament over

the massive overreach in regulations that would have allowed camping on their leased river frontages for up to 28 days, threatened their farm biosecurity and allowed campers to set up toilets and collect trailers of firewood.

With Liberal Nationals opposition the regulations were deferred and assessments reduced to 27 sites on four rivers – the Campaspe, Ovens, Broken and Goulburn.

In January, landholders with crown land leases on the Murray and Mitta were notified that their properties were to be assessed.

DELWP is now recruiting staff to undertake even more assessments of private riverfront leasehold land for more camping.

Fishers and hunters have always had day access to this land, but previously camping was prohibited.

Supporting drought resilience in the Indigo Shire

By CORAL COOKSLEY

CONNECTED: Stanley Memorial Hall will receive an upgrade in hall connectivity, technology and catering capacity.

CORNISHTOWN, Stanley and Sandy Creek halls in Indigo Shire will share in a $98,843 grant recently announced under the Federal Government’s $5 billion Future Drought Fund.

The $98,843 for the project comes on top of $90,900 Indigo Shire received in round one of the Future Drought Fund.

Minister for Agriculture and Northern Australia David Littleproud said the grant part of the second round of the ‘Networks to Build Drought Resilience’ program, focused

on local initiatives to help agricultural communities better prepare for drought impacts.

Indigo Shire Council director of community and economic development Mark Florence said council’s “Country Halls Connected for Farming Community Resilience” project brought farming families to the table around climate change and drought resilience.

“To do this, we will provide better connectivity, communications and year round catering capacity at the three country halls in the more remote farming districts of our shire,” he said.

Key activities included internet connection, portable AV equipment, installation of air conditioning to provide year round capacity and professionally facilitated one day workshops on drought resilience and Climate Change in each farming district, specific to their locality.

With upgrade of the hall connectivity, technology and catering capacity a range of activities, events and workshops can be hosted.

“By connecting the halls with the world through digital connectivity, online meetings, workshops and webinars can be conducted which signifi-

cantly increases professional networking capacity,” Mr Florence said.

“The project will future proof these halls and their volunteer committees, so that community leadership and collective activity on climate change and drought resilience can continue.”

Mr Florence said facilitated workshops will focus on developing skills required to build farm resilience to the impacts of drought, enable the agriculture dependent community to share ideas to strengthen their knowledge and build the social wellbeing that is required during tough times.

Casual worker sick pay trial

By RYAN MALCOLM VICTORIANS who work in casual or other insecure jobs will no longer be forced to choose between a day‘s pay and prioritising their health, as a result of a new scheme to be introduced by the State Government.

The $245.6 million Victorian Sick Pay Guarantee aims to provide a safety net for casual and contract workers forced into taking time off due to their health or the health of loved ones.

More than 150,000 workers are expected to be eligible for the first stage of the two–year pilot program, which premier Daniel Andrews said had been necessitated by the ongoing pandemic.

“The last two years have shown just how difficult that choice can be for casual workers – so we’re doing what we can to make sure it‘s a choice they don‘t have to make,” he said.

Eligible workers will receive up to five days a year of sick or carer’s pay at the national minimum wage.

Occupations in the first phase include hospitality workers, food trades workers and preparation assistants such as chefs and kitchen hands, supermarket and supply chain workers, retail and sales assistants, aged and disability care workers, cleaners and laundry workers and security guards.

Fully funded by the State Government for the program‘s initial pilot, it‘s anticipated the program will see a reduction in workplace injuries and illness, general productivity and lower staff turnover rates.

However, local MP Tania Maxwell believes the bill should not be footed to Victorian taxpayers.

“I believe all employers have a responsibility to ensure their staff are adequately supported,” she said.

“Casual workers have the advantage of receiving higher rates of pay to ensure sick days are factored in.

“Most employers are under significant financial stress because of the COVID pandemic‘s impact on business and I don’t believe now is the time to introduce this.”

Her sentiment was echoed by Ovens Valley MP Tim McCurdy, who said the scheme was “another Andrews’ Government slap against small business”.

“Tax and spend is the policy of this government, with the proposed levy yet another tax – small businesses are paying for this scheme now, even though the government claims they won‘t for two years,” he said.

“The very same businesses already pay the additional 25 per cent loading in lieu of entitlements, and now they are paying for both loading and entitlements – business around the Ovens Valley cannot sustain the Andrews Labor Government’s continued taxes.

“However, it is also important that we continue to look after our casual workforce – I believe that this scheme will only make it harder for casuals to gain further employment, helping to make ends meet against the increased cost of living.”

Town development a growing concern PAUL Anderson was born in Young, NSW with ancestry tied to the village of Monteagle, 14 kilometres north of the country town.

He first purchased land in the Indigo Shire 15 years ago, at Sandy Creek, but has been living in Yackandandah with his wife Trish and their children for almost seven years.

What’s your job?

I’m a Commonwealth public servant, currently working for the Department of Defence.

What brought you to this role?

I value the diversity of public service roles, and I’ve been fortunate to hold a number of interesting positions supporting Commonwealth governance, contracting, and environmental outcomes.

What do you love about your job?

My current role is rewarding for so many reasons.

I am supported by a great team and have meaningful opportunities to contribute to the national agenda.

I’m currently working on a project that supports the implementation of the Federal Government’s National Waste Policy Action Plan, which is delivering some great results diverting waste from landfill, and increasing material recovery.

What do you do in the community?

I enjoy volunteering for events that support Yackandandah.

Last month my wife and I coordinated the catering for the Community Come Back initiative (600 free burgers given away to local residents), and have previously supported similar catering events for the Folk Festival.

I’m an appointed member of the Yackandandah Cemetery Trust, and I also coach the Under 9’s soccer team which is great fun.

What’s the most important current community issue for you?

Town development/planning is of growing concern to me.

Paul Anderson, Yackandandah I’m lucky enough to live in a small, but thriving village with an incredibly strong community fabric.

Village-sized towns of this calibre and character are extremely difficult to find.

Yackandandah’s increasing popularity makes it vulnerable to development decisions that could easily erode the community fabric.

What would you do to solve, change or improve that situation?

I don’t believe that perpetual growth is a sound economic platform, or that building more houses changes housing affordability.

What I have seen before is the character of small towns evaporate when developed using traditional large-town subdivisions.

I would co-design the town’s planning scheme with its residents, consider rezoning vacant residential land to rural living, and introduce sustainable development regulations and smart design principles to prevent urban sprawl.

What’s the most important current world issue for you?

Climate change and adaptation.

We need to stop waiting for government and big business to solve this problem - it starts with our own individual actions.

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?

Being a member of the Yackandandah Cemetery Trust has made me realise how many interesting people have lived in Yackandandah

COMMUNITY SPIRIT: Yackandandah’s Paul Anderson photographed with his wife Trish enjoys volunteering for events that support the town, is a Yackandandah Cemetery Trust member, and coaches the Under 9’s soccer team. and surrounds.

The first burial recorded in the Yackandandah Cemetery was an ‘Anderson’ - 14-month-old Ellen - on 7 September 1859.

Ellen’s mother, also named Ellen, and father James died in 1907 and 1908 respectively, outliving their children.

I can’t imagine the challenges of that generation.

I would like to meet either James or Ellen and show them some of the historic assets of the

town, such as the Stone Bridge and iconic buildings on High Street.

Why would you show James or Ellen that?

I think it would be incredibly interesting to discuss their life and times in the district, and hear their personal stories about these buildings and infrastructure.

What book are you reading?

I’ve resuscitated some old Murray Ball Footrot Flats comic books to read to my children, which are a classic.

Indian celebration brings community together

By CORAL COOKSLEY

ACTION PACKED: Colourful dyed powder flies into in the air with a helping hand while Indian Restaurant’s Shabbir Hussain and his wife Asra Fatima restock for the fun with their daughter Wajiha Fatima in the background.

MUSIC pumped, friends tossed colourful dyed powder into the air as well as on each other while others danced at a free community buffet lunch at the Beechworth Indian Restaurant on Sunday.

The vibrant occasion held between 12pm to 2pm celebrated two upcoming popular Indian festivals of Hindus and Muslims, called Holi, and birthday celebrations of 12th Imam of Shia Muslims.

The event for Holi known as the Festival of Colours where people celebrate the Indian custom around the world in March, drew more than 100 locals from Beechworth, the town’s surrounds as well as friends who travelled from

Sydney and Melbourne for the happy time.

Restaurant owner Shabbir Hussain said Holi signified triumph of good over evil.

“It’s the day to forgive and make peace with those around us,” he said.

Locals, friends and those not so local tucked into Rajma Dal - a popular red kidney bean curry dish and rice, Chana salad - with chickpeas and a fantastic blend of flavors, mixed pickles, papadums as well as sweet treats of Gulabjamun - soft delicious berry balls and syrupy dessert rasugolla.

Beechworth Salvation Army captain Pauline Middleton enjoyed the lunch with colleagues.

“I think it’s wonderful as people from around here and the

region came together to share a community meal,” she said.

“Meaning of community happens over a meal and it’s great to experience different cultures and be able to celebrate together regardless of background.

“Shabbir and Asra do it so well and it’s such an all inclusive occasion.”

Beechworth’s Lynne Wallace said the event brought a different culture to the town.

“You don’t have to go overseas for the experience,” she said.

The event followed last year’s success when Mr Hussain said his wife Asra Fatima grabbed the chance as soon as they could to bring people together after COVID restrictions eased.

NEXT Tuesday, March 22 is World Water Day. Held every year since 1993, this UN annual observance focuses attention on the importance and value of water.

This year’s theme is specifically about groundwater: making the invisible visible.

Hidden beneath our feet, groundwater is the only water available in many parts of the world, including much of Australia.

With about 50 per cent of water usage in Australia taken for agricultural purposes and with agricultural output targeted to expand to $100 billion annual farmgate value by 2030, our water usage needs to become more efficient.

Almost all the liquid freshwater in the world is ground-

We’re here to listen.

While this year’s wet summer has seen more water than we can imagine in much of the country, equally we experience frequent dry periods where additional groundwater dependence becomes necessary.

Groundwater will play a critical role in our adaptation to climate change.

The Australian alpine region has been referred to as the largest dam in the country, capturing moisture,

charging both aquifers and the Murray River.

About 40 per cent of the entire Murray-Darling basin’s water flows from North East Victoria so we are deeply connected.

Our wise water use is important for ecosystems and communities much further afield, including Adelaide.

In our region, our good fortune is tempered by a great responsibility.

World Water Day 2022 organisers point out that groundwater may be out of sight, but it must not be out of mind.

Marathon and Fun Run Sunday AFTER the disappointment of having to cancel last year‘s event, the Wangaratta Chronicle Marathon and Fun Run presented by Garry Nash & Co. is finally here.

There will be five events ranging in length from a 2km Primary School Challenge, 5km walk/run and 10km walk/run to the half marathon and marathon.

Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed finishers in a range of age categories across the marathon, half marathon, 10km, and 5km races.

The winning school in the 2km Primary School Challenge will receive $1000 and a perpetual trophy and the winning community team will also receive $1000.

Registrations for all events close at 5pm today if you are registering at the Wangaratta Chronicle office or midnight tonight if you enter online.

Bibs can be collected from the Wangaratta Chronicle office between 9am and 5pm today or from 6am on Sunday, March 20 at the showgrounds.

Event times: 7.00am – Marathon 7.15am – Half Marathon 7.30am – 10km run/walk 8.30am – 5km run/walk 10.00am – 2km Primary School Challenge “Racers” Group 10.15am – 2km Primary School Challenge “Chasers” Group.

The 2km Primary School Challenge and 5km walk/ run are conducted entirely within the showgrounds with no on-road areas as part of the track, making it safe for young children and families to compete.

Presentation times 9.15am - 10km presentations 9.45am - Half marathon presentations 9.50am - 5km presentations (directly after half marathon presentations) 11.30am - Marathon presentations 11.45am - Community Teams presentation and draw The 2km Primary School Challenge will be presented onsite to the winning school on Wednesday, March 23.

Andy Croome won both nearest the pins on the 10th and the Alpine Indigo Accounting halff dozen on the 17th.

Tony Stockdale claimed the cash, winning the nearest chip on the 14th.

As was said earlier it was Steve Piddington’s night as he won the jackpotted 18 stubbies for his second shot on the 13th which he generously used to shout everyone a drink who was at presentations. Thanks Steve.

In the absence of Tyson Carey, Dayne Carey cleaned up the Flippin’fresh Seafood Wodonga voucher in the raffle.

There are three weeks of Twilight left so make sure you get out there to use up all your pluses before the Ambrose on the last week.

Sunday Stableford There was a relatively good field for a Stableford event on Sunday considering the long weekend.

The extra sand on some of the greens must have been to a couple of players likings as the winning score was under handicap for the first time in a while.

Daryl Rowe (23), relatively fresh off the plane back from England, returned the best score of the day with 37 points to beat Jacob Howard (12) on a countback also with 37.

Andy Croome’s (18) score of 33 points was good enough for him to win a ball.

Nearest the pins went to Aaron Haw on the 10th and Dean Howard on the 17th.

This Sunday at Beechworth will be a Stableford event.

Pennant also starts this Sunday with the Section 1 handicap hosting at Beechworth.

Section 3 Handicap plays at Thurgoona against Myrtleford.

Division 1 Scratch takes on Wodonga at Yarrawonga.

We are still looking for a couple of players for Pennant over the coming weeks.

So if you are interested in playing on some great local courses for only $10 please let Dylan Pool know.

WE JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: Ladies enjoyed their round at last Wednesday’s opening day.

With two weeks left it’s still anyone’s for the Teams’

The course had been made into a par three course for the day which proved to be very challenging.

Jacqui Pierce was the winner with a great score of 44.

Hollie Goodwin was run-

ner up on a countback from Doyna Collins both on 50.

Nada Guyatt and Doyna Collins won the Mystery Partners event with a combined score of 104.

This Wednesday is the Beechworth versus Yackandandah Day which BGC are hosting.

Any golfers interested in playing Wednesday golf are most welcome. 8.30am for 9am am hit off.

Thursday Twilight Eighteen players fronted up for Twilight last Thursday on the back nine.

It was Steve Piddington’s night again, winning for the third time

Steve’s score of 25 (21+4) was enough to hold off new member Greg Lee-Conway 24 (20+4) by one shot, who won the Coffee Staines Cafe & Carvery voucher.

Twenty-three points were needed to win a ball and they went to Dave Atkins (18+5), Dylan Pool (18+5), Jason West (17+6) and Warwick Deuis (17+6).
