Time to have your say INDIGO Shire Council’s draft budget 2022/23 is now on public exhibition with the community invited to review the document with submissions to be made by June 7.

The draft budget is one of a suite of strategic documents that council has endorsed and placed on exhibition for the next 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 10 years.

It is proposed that residential rates be increased by 1.75

Indigo g Shire Council draft budget g on p public exhibition until June 7 per cent (Victorian Government rate cap) and increases in fees and charges be generally in line with the rate increase.

The draft budget includes a $16.7 million capital works program, made up of $7.6 million in new project allocations and $9.1 million in projects already funded but are being carried forward into 2022/23.

“A significant portion of the carry forward funds is associated with the completion of large multi-year grant-funded projects including the Chiltern Community Hub, Beechworth to Yack-

andandah Rail Trail and the EPIC Mountain Bike trail,” Cr Gaffney said.

The draft budget also includes funds to commence the Rutherglen Wine Walk Cycle Trail which has attracted $5.1 million in Federal Government grant funding.

“We’re proposing to spend $2.5 million on maintaining and upgrading the shire’s roads, bridges, pathways and drains and we plan to spend almost $1 million on maintaining our parks and gardens,” he said.

“The draft budget also includes over $500,000 for trees, which includes re-

placement and new plantings.”

Next year, work will commence on a tree canopy strategy which is a council plan action item to ensure that Council is planning strategically for the future, and that it continues to plant trees for a range of reasons including mitigation against climate change.

Cr Gaffney said there will be an additional $100,000 spent on drainage improvements, bringing council’s investment in urban and rural drains to more than $500,000.

Billson’s Brewery scoops two top awards

By CORAL COOKSLEY

HELP US: Beechworth Salvation Army officer Pauline Middleton is asking the community to support the Red Shield Appeal.

Community call to help with appeal THE BEECHWORTH Salvation Army is asking for more community involvement during this year’s Red Shield Appeal starting on Saturday, May 28.

The Beechworth based Salvos have helped communities across Alpine and Indigo Shires, supporting locals in need since 1884.

After a tough few years, Salvation Army officer Pauline Middleton said many are still feeling the impacts of COVID-19, rental stress, mental health, and cost of living pressure.

“We’re so grateful to the community in the North East who have always rallied together and supported the Red Shield Appeal every year,” she said.

“This year is no different - we need the help of community members more than ever as we continue to support those who are experiencing great need, isolation, or mental health crises.”

The local funds from the 2021 Red Shield Appeal were used to help support a winter school program and help struggling families send young people on school excursions.

“The needs are far greater to what we can meet, and the support from anyone in the community who can help,” she said.

According to the 2021 Salvation Army annual report, approximately 887,500 crisis beds are provided to people experiencing homelessness, while three people are supported by the salvos every minute.

To support The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal locally, contact pauline.middleton@salvationarmy.org.au; and look out for some collectors in local supermarkets (variable times).

BILLSON’S Brewery came up trumps when the Endeavour Group announced winners in its inaugural Supplier of the Year Awards program at a gala ceremony in Melbourne last week with more than 500 suppliers taking part in the festivities.

Billson’s took out two of the 12 awards Local Product of the Year with its Vodka with Portello as well as Small Supplier of the Year.

The Local Product of the Year award recognised an outstanding Australian product that resonated with customers and communities, Billson’s investment into the brand, as well as the town of Beechworth, creating jobs via the infrastructure to support production at scale, as well as the hospitality experiences available onsite and in town.

Small Supplier of the Year award recognised brand inspired customer loyalty right from the start.

Billson’s director Nathan Cowan said the awards meant the world to their family business.

“We love working with the Endeavour team and the local stores to bring new and exciting flavours to Australian drinkers,” he said.

“The first time we ever saw a Billson’s product outside of our own venue was at Dan Murphy’s in Wangaratta.

“It was the most amazing feeling and an incredibly proud moment, and back then we were a team of five.

“Thanks to Endeavour’s support, we’ve been able to employ more than 120 locals which is so important to our small regional community.

“In turn, we get to support all the local ingredient suppliers and give back to Beechworth and surrounds.

“We’ve also been able to restore Australia’s oldest tower brewery and preserve an important piece of history.”

Excited about the partnership into the future, Mr Cowan said the company felt it yet had to create its best drink.

“It’s an exciting goal to work towards every day,” he said.

Endeavour Group’s director - Buying and Merchandising, Tim Carroll, said the calibre of winners across a broad spectrum off areas including sustainability, product development and brand activation reflected the innovative and creative spirit of the broader drinks industry.

Working together to help Rutherglen flood victims

By CORAL COOKSLEY JOINT efforts are well underway to help Rutherglen families and businesses impacted by the January floods earlier this year with Gateway Health helping with the project.

Following a major fundraiser, the Rutherglen Rumble - an initiative by Caffeine ‘n’ Machine’s Nick Hawtin, Gateway Health known for their work with Bushfire Recovery had been approached by Mr Hawtin and Lions Club member Herb Ellerbock for help and strategic direction after seeking assistance through Indi Federal MP Helen Haines as Indigo Shire Council had been unable to provide support in this way.

The successful ‘show and shine’ held on Easter Sunday at the Rutherglen Showground had been backed by the town’s Lions Club that helped manage the event where the town’s community rallied with many volunteers and supporters from around the town pitching in too.

As Easter Sunday’s Rutherglen Rumble raised $43,850 to help flood victims with a number who had lost everything, professional help had been sought for fund distribution along with overall support for affected people and businesses.

Facilities, goods, and services to the value of $15,720 had been donated by generous businesses, organisations and individuals on top of funds raised.

Gateway Health’s Jarryd Williams said the collaboration had arisen between the Lions Club and local businesses with Nick being a champion for Rutherglen.

“We’re so impressed with what they’ve done to help their neighbours and we have worked together for improved support coordination with Indigo Shire Council,” he said.

ON THE SAME PAGE: Indigo Shire Council staff - Carlene Lamanna (left), Kate O’Toole, Mark De Campo with Rutherglen Lions Club member Herb Ellerbock, Caffeine ‘n’ Machine’s Nick Hawtin and Gateway Health’s Jarryd Williams, pictured at a first time recent meeting, developed a united plan to help Rutherglen flood affected families and businesses.

PHOTO: Coral Cooksley “We learned that everyone had a different picture of the disaster where the shire had been supporting a number of residents, but weren’t aware of the residents the Lions Club had been in contact with,” he said.

“By bringing all parties together at the same table, we were able to fill in the gaps and develop a plan.”

Mr Williams said Gateway Health had been advised by the Rutherglen Rumble team that people needed support that included dealing with insurance companies, mental health and other issues.

“We have provided support while also working with other services behind the scenes to direct financial counselling and legal assistance to Rutherglen,” he said.

“We’re also working with the Red Cross and Caffeine ‘n’ Machine to run Mental Health First Aid courses on the May 28 and 29.”

Mr Ellerbock said council had also advised that the local Red Cross branch had been approached where Red Cross State Office approval is being sought.

“The club is also applying for funds from the Austral-

ian Lions Foundation ‘Disaster Response’ and ‘Special Purpose’ grant schemes with the amount contingent upon an impact assessment along the lines of what we are requesting from Red Cross,” he said.

Indigo Shire Council’s chief executive Trevor Ierino said council opened an Emergency Relief Centre on the night of the flood, and has assisted many residents in the weeks and months that followed.

“Council has supported a large number of Rutherglen residents with connections to support services, relief

payments where eligible, temporary housing and goods,” he said.

Mr Ierino said council immediately took steps needed to notify and provide information to the relevant agencies to trigger disaster relief funding.

“Such funding provided for emergency infrastructure works, longer term repairs to damaged infrastructure on a broader scale, and emergency welfare funding for vulnerable persons,” he said.

“Council officers have met with the Lions Club and Gateway Health to provide

guidance on options for the Lions Club to distribute the funds it has raised.”

“The Lions Club has provided some additional information to council on potential flood impacted residents, and council officers are following up.”

“Council will continue to work with the Lions Club and the community as needs arise.”

Mr Ierino said any resident experiencing financial or personal distress can contact council for further information and to be connected with the relevant agencies for assistance.

FEDERAL ELECTION

Who will it be?

Haines, Lyman both hopeful but expecting preferences to decide fate of Indi seat

By JEFF ZEUSCHNER

INDI Independent incumbent Helen Haines and Liberal candidate Ross Lyman have spent the past five weeks of the federal election campaign seeking to offer voters a clear choice amid a field of 10 candidates.

They have both laboured their points of policy differences, and each remains hopeful of their success at the ballot box tomorrow, although neither was predicting a result when contacted by the Wangaratta Chronicle on Wednesday.

What they do agree on though, is expecting to be the last two standing and for your preferences to decide the outcome of the seat.

Dr Haines won Indi in 2019 - retaining its Independent status delivered by Cathy McGowan dethroning Liberal incumbent Sophie Mirabella in 2013 - although a 4.13 per cent swing to the Liberals last election has cut the margin to just 1.4 per cent.

“I’m hopeful of being reelected but I don’t take the people of Indi for granted... it’s (result) too hard to tell,” she said on Wednesday, after another hectic day manning pre-poll stations which have been busier than ever across

YOUR CHOICE: Indi candidates (from left, top) Angel Aleksov (Animal Justice Party), Helen Haines (Independent), Lachlan O’Connell (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party), Stephen Williams (United Australia Party), Beth Stevens (Pauline Hanson’s One Nation); (bottom, from left) Benjamin Gilbert (The Australian Greens), Liz Fisher (National Party of Australia), Nadia David (Australian Labor Party), Julian Fidge (Liberal Democratic Party), and Ross Lyman (Liberal Party of Australia). the electorate.

“We’ve run a strong and positive campaign...supported by 1800 volunteers who’ve been busy door knocking throughout Indi.

“As the Independent MP I’ve been fighting for the people of Indi...that’s who I represent and answer to, not party bosses.

“In 2019 the electorate let me know stamping out corruption was a big issue and I’ve been championing that pursuing an integrity commission in parliament.

“If there is a hung parliament, a minority government, I’ve been clear that my interests are front and centre putting the Indi electorate first...I will never negotiate away my ability to vote on issues in the best interests of Indi.

“Whoever forms government, I and Indi have made it clear that an integrity commission, improved rural health and telecommunications, and climate action are important issues.”

A similarly hopeful Mr

Lyman was buoyed by prepoll support over the past week, but said a result was “too close to call”.

“We’ve run a strong campaign and over the past two to three weeks I’ve got the sense the mood is shifting and people are looking for a change in Indi,” he said.

“I’ve had an overwhelming response from the public, particularly talking to many hundreds of voters at pre-poll this week, and our volunteers’ vibe is that momentum is shifting.

“Since January I’ve been campaigning on a positive platform to bring investment into Indi...people feel the region has been left behind under an Independent.”

Mr Lyman questioned Dr Haines’ transparency, saying she had “failed to say who she would support in a hung parliament...although her voting record in 2021 showed she voted with Labor 80 per cent of the time”.

He said he had a strong economic plan for Indi and if elected would be part of a team that can deliver on major issues.

“If I am elected and we are in Opposition, I will still be part of a team that can work with federal and state MPs on fundamental issues for the electorate more than an Independent,” Mr Lyman said.

For the record, the TAB odds this week had Dr Haines at $1.07, Mr Lyman at $8, Labor’s Nadia David at $34 and Green’s Benjamin Gilbert at $51 to win Indi.

Labor and Nationals remain hopeful, but both Labor candidate Nadia David and Nationals candidate Liz Fisher concede it would take something quite remarkable to prevail in Indi tomorrow.

Coming off a primary base of only 12 per cent in 2019, Ms David said the 20 per cent swing she needs to win the seat is “possible, not probable”.

The Beechworth-based criminal justice lecturer is proud of running Labor’s “strongest campaign in a very long time” in Indi.

“The last decade has come

down to preferences to decide the seat and I’m a stronger chance with the Liberals preferencing me ahead of Dr Haines,” she said.

“I’m excited by the pre-poll feedback.

“The Morrison Government is on the nose and I think many people are seeing Independents are not the answer as they can’t get things done by themselves, like an ICAC or climate action.”

That said, Ms David believed if her ‘miracle’ win in Indi didn’t eventuate, Dr Haines - who she has preferenced at number four behind the Greens’ Benjamin Gilbert and Animal Justice Party candidate Angel Aleksov - would be elected on the back of a good campaign.

Nationally, she said while many people remained undecided, she believed Labor’s “safe pair of hands and strongest team in living memory” will prevail, particularly given its core policies around aged care, health services, climate action, education, power and cost of living.

The Nationals’ Ms Fisher conceded she was very much an “underdog”, but still hoped to win.

“I know our party is coming off a primary vote of just under 10 per cent at the last election, but we’ve certainly been a lot higher than that previously and we’ve had a strong campaign,” she said.

“I offer a very real choice for voters and have demonstrated I’d be part of a team.”

Ms Fisher expected, based on past elections, Indi will again be decided on preferences, and said it will be particularly interesting to see what level of support minor conservative parties - such as One Nation, Liberal Democrats and United Australia Party - get based on people’s view of how the pandemic was handled.

Failing a ‘miracle’ increase in her primary vote, the majority of her preferences are expected to flow to Mr Lyman “who offers a plan and will be part of a great team”.

“I don’t think Independents, with diverse views without a common vision, are

good for functional government.”

Greens’ candidate Benjamin Gilbert emerged yesterday, after a week in COVID lockdown, hitting pre-poll centres with his “secret weapon” - three year old son Moli playing the ukulele.

Mr Gilbert said action on climate change had been the biggest talking point of this campaign and “only the Greens have a sound plan in line with the science”.

He said he was hoping the party’s primary vote (four per cent in 2019) may increase as he believed his party’s policies “resonate with the interests of youth”.

Mr Gilbert said he’d be ‘”surprised” if Dr Haines whom his party preferenced first - didn’t hold the seat, while noting the “excellent campign by the very progressive Labor candidate”.

“Nationally I’m hoping to see the Liberal Party out so we can get progress on climate,” he said.

Liberal Democrats candidate Julian Fidge said he was hoping to double the primary vote (2.07 per cent) he received when he ran for the Australian Country Party in the 2016 federal election.

The Wangaratta GP said preferences will again decide the fate of the seat of Indi, and he expected both Labor and Liberal parties’ first preference voting to be down.

He believed micro party preferences will favour the Coalition - and Labor and Green preferences to favour Dr Haines - and preferences “may be enough to tip (Liberals) Mr Lyman across the line”.

Nationally, he believed Labor didn’t have the “personalities or policies to win” and thought the Coalition would be returned, with the United Australia Party a “dark horse” to pick up some seats.

Animal Justice Party candidate Angel Aleksov said he believed Dr Haines will retain the seat with an increased margin.

“It will be good to see Independent representation retained in Indi and we’d love to see her advocate more for animal rights,” he said.

Nationally, Mr Aleksov said his party is looking forward to a change in government, with he and his party having preferenced Labor and the Greens ahead of Coalition candidates, seeking more action on banning live exports and addressing the “climate emergency”.

United Australia Party candidate Stephen Williams was unable to make any comment.

His predecessor in the 2019 federal election won almost four per cent of the primary vote.

Neither Beth Stevens (Pauline Hanson’s One Nation) or Lachlan O’Connell (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party) could be contacted for comment.

A new look for Rutherglen aged care

By CORAL COOKSLEY THE Victorian Government has revealed designs with artist impressions for a new residential aged care facility in Rutherglen.

Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers Anthony Carbines on Monday released a first look at the new state-of-the-art aged care facility which will give residents a place that feels like home.

The existing Glenview Community Care Nursing Home will be relocated into the $57.11 million project at the new 33-45 Main Street site.

Approved in the 2021/2022 State Government’s budget, delighted Indigo North chief executive Shane Kirk said the project had started to move quickly from October last year.

“It’s been a long time coming and it’s great to get to this point where details can be released,” he said.

“It’s fantastic that the Victorian Government has seen Rutherglen as a place in need of aged care facilities to meet the needs of current and future residents.”

Predominantly catering for people within Rutherglen’s catchment area including Chiltern and Barnawartha, Mr Kirk said the facility is open to prospective residents within Indigo

WELCOME: Artist impression of Rutherglen’s Aged Care exterior and entrance.

Shire and the North East who choose to reside at the aged care facility.

“Residents in the 50-bed facility will have their own room with a private ensuite, the building will have solar panels and will be totally electric,” he said.

The bigger site has added another 10 beds from its present 40 beds where residents have dignity, privacy, person-centred care and independence with the improved accommodation.

Mr Kirk said airconditioning had been designed with previous COVID pandemic outcomes in mind where air is not refiltered that helps

limit the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID in a closed airflow environment.

“A kitchen garden for residents, a raised garden bed where they can plant and prune, as well as a cafe for residents and their families has been designed too,” he said.

A community room, sacred space and other common areas are other amenities where residents can interact with each other as well as with family and friends.

It will provide an environment that is dementia friendly and better suited to supporting mental health

and the complex care needs of older Victorians.

The facility’s façade and internal fit outs have been designed to provide residents with a modern, safe and comfortable place as well as a safe and efficient workplace for staff.

Early works are expected to commence in late 2022 with the project completed by mid-2025.

The project is part of the Regional and Rural Public Sector Residential Aged Care Services Revitalisation Strategy to modernise ageing facilities with purpose-built facilities that better meet community expectations.

RELAXING: Artist impression of Rutherglen’s Aged Care exterior with internal courtyard Indigo Shire mayor Bernard Gaffney said that the state of the art aged care facility has been needed for Rutherglen, the shire and people living in North East of Victoria.

“The project is definitely starting later this year,” he said.

“Many people in the facility will have disabilities and this brand new modern building will make a huge

difference to them.”

Both Mr Kirk and Cr Gaffney said new facility will create more job opportunities as well.”

Northern Victoria MP Jaclyn Symes said the new and bigger facility will mean hardworking healthcare workers can continue to give older Victorians in the North East the best possible care in the best possible environment.

Dracula play a great success

ALMOST a third of eligible Indi residents had already cast their vote by Tuesday, according to data published by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC).

The data shows 38,772 Indi residents had cast a vote by May 17, making up 32.98 per cent of eligible Indi voters.

Of those voters, 19.5 percent cast their ballot by post.

This is greater than the national average – just over a quarter of eligible Australians had cast their vote early by Tuesday.

Previous elections have seen an increase in early voting – in 2019, 31.59 per cent of turnout was at early voting centres, up from 22 per cent in 2016.

By CORAL COOKSLEY BEECHWORTH Theatre Company thrilled audiences when their latest play ‘Dracula’ took to the stage at last Friday night’s opening performance held in the Beechworth Soldiers’ Memorial Hall A number of young people had fun dressing up for the occasion too with protruding fangs and draped cloaks.

Theatre goer Beechworth’s Maureen O’Flaherty said the performance had been professional with a stunning Dracula, outstanding performers as well as amazing costumes and a brilliant stage set.

“The play had excellent direction and my husband Michael and I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening,” she said.

Beechworth Theatre Company (BTC) committee member and play director Elroy Boss said the energised actors took the audience along with them on the famous story based on Bram Stoker’s original book.

“Their talent in acting is so amazing that people were in awe not just with the acting but with the atmosphere including scariness and emotions,” he said.

“It’s a really good play with really good actors and we had a very appreciative and generous audience.”

“We had everything going for us.”

Mr Boss said while the cast are amateurs, they do a fabulous job of portraying their characters and performing together.

Tonight’s performance has, unfortunately, been cancelled due to a cast member’s illness but the show will go on tomorrow night, Saturday, May 21 at 8pm, and Sunday, May 22 at 2pm. Saturday, May 21 at 8pm, and Sunday May 22 at 2pm.

Big savings with an electrified future A PLAN to electrify households with rooftop solar, electric vehicles, a home battery and by replacing gas appliances could save Indi homes nearly $5000 year, according to new modelling.

A report by Dr Saul Griffiths, founder of Rewiring Australia and former adviser to the US government on energy policy, found a $12 billion investment over 5 years in Australian homes and vehicles would reap $300 billion in household savings by 2035.

New modelling of the data, which breaks down the savings by federal electorate, shows that the average household in Indi would save $4870 per year on energy and vehicle costs by 2030 under the plan.

The report suggests the mass electrification of households could cut household carbon emissions to zero and save the average Australian home $5433 per year by 2030.

Creating moments to cherish BETH Hulley’s mother was rarely in family photos as she was always the one taking the pictures.

After her passing, Beth realised how precious the photos of herself, her brothers and her father were, and how absent her mother’s presence was.

That absence inspired Beth to become a family photographer and her business has grown to include weddings, newborn and lifestyle photography.

“Initially, I wanted to capture those real moments for others, moments that mums and dads could be part of, instead of being behind the camera,” Beth said.

“Photographing families and couples led me to photographing weddings and I now regularly photograph these couples’ growing families.

“I adore the bubbling excitement of weddings, the raw unapologetic love people show for one another, the bear hugs and the secret glances between lovers when they think no one is watching.

“I love observing the magic unfold and capturing it, and telling it back in a story of photos.”

Beth can photograph

THE history of the wedding veil dates back to ancient Greece.

The meaning of what the veil represents has shifted over time and has a variety of symbolisms.

Some references about the purpose of the veil include the delivery of a modest and untouched maiden, hiding a bride from evil spirits who might want to thwart her happiness and that it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony.

Veils can be made from a variety of light materials.

Longer veils are usually made from a net or tulle while the 1950s saw the introduction of a birdcage veil.

This style covers just part ŧŀ͂Ɓņĵ͂ŀĝīĵˮ͂DZ͂ŧĝƁʼnŠŁ͂ĝīŶŧźź͂ the nose to reveal the lips.

For the modern bride looking to embrace the longstanding wedding tradition, a birdcage veil is a modern playful option.

by Albéniz, Bach, Handel, Saint-Sans, Villa Lobos, de Falla, Mitéran, Pereira and Piazzola for the event titled ‘Baroque to Bacchianas.’

Seeking to touch the hearts of concertgoers as well as inspire the next generation of performers, Marnie, Megan and Anthony are also respected teachers in their professional musical field.

VROOM: Beechworth’s Russell James loves his 1972 VW Beetle owned for a decade and enjoys being an Old Cranks Car Club member. PHOTO: Coral Cooksley

Keeping the right balance

MELBOURNE-born Russell James has mostly lived in Canberra.

“It is a bit of a cliché, but my wife and I did the ‘tree change’ thing and moved to Beechworth a year ago,” he said.

What’s your job?

I recently retired from my natural resources policy job in Canberra. I work part-time at a local winery, which I enjoy immensely.

What brought you to this role?

I wanted a hands-on role - a change from office work.

What do you love about your job?

The winery practises organic and biodynamic methods of production. Their commitment to quality and sustainability is really impressive.

What do you do in the community?

I have joined a few groups over the past year - the local Landcare group, the rural CFA and the Beechworth Old Cranks Car Club.

Each group has been really welcoming.

I have owned a 1972 VW Beetle for 10 years.

My first car 40 years ago was a ‘71 model, so I feel like I am making progress!

Beetles are great cars - a bit out of the box.

You can’t be in a bad mood when driving a Beetle!

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

I think an important challenge is how to manage the level and pace of future development in the region.

I think it notable how well the region has to date struck the balance between respecting its history and having access to a great range of local facilities and businesses.

How do we keep the right balance over the next 50 years?

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

I am no expert, but I think we can look elsewhere for examples of things to avoid - such as fast food outlets.

With a growing population we need higher density development - smaller houses on smaller blocks.

Using good design we could include ‘commons’ areas for recreation or community

Russell James, Beechworth gardens.

We could also do more to improve energy efficiency through better house design and orientation.

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

I think many global issues stem from overpopulation.

Everyone deserves a good quality of life, but as we can see with climate change, the planet can’t continue to support unfettered growth in resource use.

It is a tricky discussion, but one that needs to be had.

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 love to meet Jacinda Ardern and show her around.

We could start with some local history and a bushwalk - perhaps the Eldorado Dredge and Mt Pilot.

Afterwards - a sample of our great shops and cafes, and one of the almost weekly festivals that are on at this time of year.

I am sure she would enjoy the Drive Back in Time Festival which is on in May each year and attracts around 200 historic vehicles from the region and beyond.

Why would you show her that?

To showcase a regional community that has a lot to offer ... and to convince her to apply for a job over here!

What book are you reading?

‘The Anarchy - the Relentless Rise of the East India Company’ by William Dalrymple.

It tells the story of the rise of the first global corporation - the greed and unfettered power.

A cautionary tale for our times.

Trophies presented to Golden Horseshoes Festival parade float winners

By CORAL COOKSLEY

BIG smiles all round captured appreciation of two entrants in this year’s Golden Horseshoes Festival (GHSF) Easter parade with trophies received on Monday for best displays.

GHSF committee member and secretary Heidi Freeman said the parade theme had been heritage.

St Joseph’s Primary School took out the Golden Horseshoes Festival (GHSF) committee’s perpetual trophy selected by the group for their choice of best float while Sorrenberg’s Winery had been chosen by Beechworth Bakery for their perpetual trophy.

Delighted school principal Carly Avery said being part of a community event such as the festival is important and valued.

“We’ve been part of the festival for a long time and had more than 40 students involved with this year’s parade,” she said.

School parent Karen Prebble who was involved with their

float’s heritage theme said being presented with the trophy had been a nice reward for a lot of hard work.

Karen said the idea for the float had been inspired by a story told by a former Burke Museum curator about P.T. Barnum’s circus when it came to Beechworth in 1870.

The American circus had performed in Australia as part of a world tour with short statured Tom Thumb as a performer.

“Tom Thumb’s boots are an important part of the story and had been donated to the Burke Museum by the circus,” she said.

“Being in the parade was a lovely way to connect to the community.”

Sorrenberg Vineyard owned

by Jan and Barry Morey has been in the parade with a creative float for many years.

Their daughter Kara Cook said three generations have been in the parade.

“It’s a lot of fun and it’s carrying on its tradition,” she said.

“It’s been had great for the family to be recognised as

we’ve put the effort in,” Barry said.

The winemaker also said the festival is good for the town and it’s great to see people enjoy the event.

Heidi said receiving a trophy would be exciting, rewarding and satisfying for entrants.

“They put so much time, effort and planning into their floats,” she said.

HAPPY: Three-year-old Dorothy Cook is just as excited as her mum Kara to receive this year’s Beechworth Bakery Perpetual Trophy for best float in the Golden Horseshoes Festival Easter parade.

Bushrangers defeated, but stay on top

By BRODIE EVERIST

Taylor, unknown, T. Cartledge, B. Ryan.

THE Beechworth Bushrangers remain on top of the ladder, despite suffering their first loss of the season on Saturday, going down 6.5 (41) to the Kiewa Sandy Creek Hawks’ (11.14) 80 at Coulston Park.

The Bushrangers started strong, leading by 11 points after the first quarter, but were unable to maintain their lead.

The Hawks equalised in the second term, and went into the second half leading the Bushrangers by a margin of 4 points.

They pulled ahead in the third and fourth quarters, scoring seven goals in the last half to the Bushrangers’ two.

Beechworth’s Kayde Surrey was named best on ground for his side, with special mentions for Liam Stephens, Harry Taylor, Thomas Cartledge and Brent Ryan.

The Beechworth Bushrangers will be aiming to bounce back from their loss when they face the Dederang Mount Beauty Bombers in a home game at Baarmutha Park tomorrow.
