LEAVING ITALY FOR AUSTRALIA THE RIGHT MOVE FOR GINO

GUIDE

IT’S been 70 years since Gino Corsini left Italy for Australia at the age of 19, overcoming the challenges of an entirely different language and culture, to eventually establish a home for his family at La Cantina King Valley. Gino reflects on the remarkable milestone, which is being commemorated by his children with a limited release wine. Read his story on page 25. PHOTO: Anita McPherson

Call for court Sport

Local stakeholders want specialist p familyy violence legal g services to meet demand

By RYAN MALCOLM CALLS for a family violence court to be established in the North East are being ramped up by local stakeholders, in an effort to improve outcomes for victim survivors and increase the availability of supports for perpetrators and their victims. A motion recently put to state parliament by

Wangaratta-based MP Tania Maxwell called on the State Government to act on the 227 recommendations handed down by the 2015 Royal Commission into Family Violence, with high rates of domestic violence in rural and regional areas identified as a key issue. Wangaratta, Benalla and Wodonga each have family violence incidence rates well

ALL STOCK DE STOREWI

above the state average (56pc, 92pc and 46pc respectively), compounded by a number of barriers to affordable legal assistance and appropriate facilities in the region. Speaking near Wangaratta Magistrates Court on Monday, Ms Maxwell, Centre Against Violence chief executive Jaime Chubb and Hume Riverina Community Legal Service principal lawyer Alison

Maher said a specialist family violence court would play a key role in improving the availability of supports in the region. “It can start with the facilities like separate entries and exits and waiting rooms - the magistrates have special powers - they can actually order counselling for perpetrators rather than just make an order for a referral to a men’s behaviour change

service,” Ms Maher said. “We just don’t have the resources in our regional courts - in the specialist family violence courts there are applicant workers and respondent workers - in our courts we don’t even have those support services. “I think that in what is already a really stressful and traumatic time, it just aids that recovery - it allows people to have the supports

that they need to actually navigate what is a really tricky court system, and it’s the support afterwards - it’s being supported on that journey.” The nearest specialist family violence court for the North East is Shepparton, an almost two hour journey by car from places such as Wodonga and even longer if utilising public transport. ■ Continued page 3

Former resident on drug charges A FORMER Wangaratta resident previously involved in the region’s methylamphetamine epidemic is facing serious drug-related charges in Melbourne. The 40-year-old was arrested alongside three others last month as part of an extensive investigation into an alleged drug manufacturing syndicate at a factory in Bayswater. Police allegedly seized more than 300 exhibits from the factory, including a rotary evaporator, a handgun, about 350 litres of 1,4-Butanediol, 70-100kg of precursor chemical, a quantity of methylamphetamine and scientific equipment.

The accused, who now lives in North Melbourne, faces charges of traffick large commercial quantity, traffick methylamphetamine, possess drug of dependence, possess articles for manufacture and prohibited person possess firearm. A 49-year-old Windsor man, a 57-year-old Waterways man and a 20-year-old Southbank man were all charged on July 12 with traffick commercial quantity, traffick methylamphetamine, possess drug of dependence and possess articles for manufacture. All four are set to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on November 15.

Flood waters begin to recede By RYAN MALCOLM MINOR flooding which occurred along the Ovens and King rivers on Monday quickly receded yesterday, as a wet weekend made way for blue skies throughout the region. Consistent rain throughout the alpine regions late last week saw river levels continue to increase early this week, aided by a degree of snow melt as Mount Hotham was buffeted by almost 22mm of rain last Wednesday. The Ovens River at Wangaratta peaked at 11.96m around 7pm on Monday, just over the minor flooding level of 11.8m as water crossed

parts of the Bullawah Cultural Trail. Similar minor flooding was also seen along the King River at Docker Road, where water levels reached just shy of the moderate flood level of 3.95m early on Sunday morning before falling to 3.3m by 1pm yesterday. A final minor flood warning was issued for the King River by the Bureau of Meteorology yesterday morning, while the Ovens River is expected to fall below the minor flood level today. Up to 45mm of rain is forecast to fall in Wangaratta before the end of the week, with 34.8mm having already fallen since the start of August.

TURN OFF THE STOVE: Stephen Phillips and Andrew Arnold from CFA Wangaratta will be a part of an information session that will aim to prevent home fires, which are most common in winter.

Session to prevent fatal home fires THE Well Ageing Info Hub together with Northeast Health Wangaratta will host a free public information session on winter home fire safety on Tuesday, August 16, from 2pm at the Uniting Church Hall in Wangaratta. According to the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, home fires occur more in winter than in any other season. In Victoria alone the CFA attends up to 3000 home fires a year and an average of 18 people a year die in house fires. CFA engagement community coordinator Andrew Arnold said the “staggering” number of fatalities shows Victorians need to be more aware of the risks of house fire safety. “Fire safety in a home is really, really important, it’s where we lose the most lives in Victoria each year,” he said. “Home fires can become

deadly in three minutes and smoke alarms become very important to alert people that there’s something wrong and they need to take action.” Mr Arnold will be presenting at the information session and attendees will learn about the most common causes of winter house fires and how to prevent them, including practical demonstrations using fire blankets and advice on smoke alarms. Mr Arnold said the most common fires happen at night and laments the importance of working smoke alarms in a home. “Most lives are lost at night between the hours of 9 and 5am,” he said.

“When we’re asleep we lose our sense of smell. “CFA recommends there should be a smoke alarm preferably connected in the bedrooms and the living rooms of the house as well as the other smoke alarms that are already there.” Mr Arnold said home fires are more common in winter because of the increased use of heating appliances around the house. “Anything that’s flammable needs to kept one metre from the heater,” he said. “Chimney fires and electrical fires are also contributors to fires within homes. “The largest majority of home fires that CFA attend are unattended cooking fires, the catchphrase for that is ‘keep looking while you’re cooking and don’t get distracted’.” A recent national study reports that 62 per cent of people

who die in house fires are people with a disability. Mr Arnold said it’s important people at risk can be aided by carers who are well informed of the actions required in the event of a home fire. “People at risk of home fires are kids, because they don’t understand and elder people,” he said. “The high risk community are people that may have a disability of some description, they’re the people who benefit from the work the community does to support them and that includes families and carers. “What we want people to do if there’s a fire, get out, stay out and call triple zero.” Bookings are essential and people must RSVP by this Friday, August 12 to infohub@nhw. org.au or call 1800 319 333 or register: https://home-fire-safety.eventbrite.com.au.

Services under pressure McCurdyy calls for medical aid as ambulance response p times balloon throughout g North East

By RYAN MALCOLM B PRESSURE on first responders throughout the region continues to mount, as demand for ambulance services across the state smashed records for the third consecutive quarter. Soaring demand linked to the increased spread of COVID, staff furloughing and sicker patients who had deferred care was experienced throughout the Hume region in the fourth quarter of 2021/22, as average response times in Indigo Shire, Be-

nalla Rurall Cit City, Cit City off W Woll R donga and Strathbogie Shire ballooned, while responses throughout the Wangaratta local government area (LGA) fell by only four seconds. Alpine Shire experienced a drop in average response time, falling by 54 seconds from third quarter data and more than two minutes since six months ago, however, the average response time remained well above 22 minutes for high priority callouts. Some 68.8 per cent of Wangaratta code one responses were completed in the re-

quired or lless, i d 15 minutes i t while Alpine (42.3pc), Benalla (51pc), Indigo (20.6pc), Strathbogie (28.2pc) and Wodonga (74.8pc) remained well below the state’s ultimate goal of reaching 85pc of serious callouts within 15 minutes. The Hume region is set to benefit from an additional 50 paramedics in the coming months, however, Ovens Valley MP and new shadow assistant minister for regional health and ambulance services, Tim McCurdy, said further urgent action was required to alleviate health pressures

throughout th h t the th region. i “The premier must stop building tunnels in Melbourne and start addressing the health crisis in North East Victoria,” he said. “Sending more paramedics is only the tip of the iceberg - all our medical staff have been working incredibly hard, however, we need more doctors, surgeons, physicians and dentists. “We are not a third world country but sometimes the government’s neglect makes it feel this way in regional Victoria.

“Calling “C lli ttriple i l zero should h ld be every Victorian’s right, not a privilege.” Across the state, more than 13,000 ‘lights and sirens’ cases were reported compared to this time last year, prompting Ambulance Victoria interim chief executive Felicity Topp urging residents to save triple zero calls for purely emergency situations. “Our paramedics are working extremely hard to manage the increasing demand while prioritising care to the sickest Victorians,” she said.

Local stakeholders want specialist family violence legal services to meet demand ■

From page 1 Ms Chubb acknowledged high rates of family violence were a complex issue to tackle, with significant steps required to address the safety of victims as they exit the home environment. “People are accessing services - in some cases our data’s high because people are actually coming and accessing services like ours or they’re reaching out to the police,” she said. “We’ve got high rates of socioeconomic disadvantage and areas where there’s just no service provision at all - there’s a huge demand and there’s demand for a whole range of services. “What we do know is at the time when someone decides to leave a home where there is family violence is the most dangerous for many people it’s not one day, I’m out and then you know I’m safe. “Now there’s years of complexity of navigating court systems and child protections and custody arrangements and financial distribution of assets - so it’s a really, really complex situation and that requires a whole range of services for people to get to the point where they can actually live healthy and happy lives.” Efforts to attract a legal aid office to the region were also furthered under Ms Maxwell’s

TIME TO ACT: Hume Riverina Community Legal Service principal lawyer Alison Maher (left), Wangaratta-based state MP Tania Maxwell (centre) and Centre Against Violence chief executive officer Jaime Chubb believe specialist family violence services are desperately needed to meet rising incidence rates throughout the North East. PHOTO: Kurt Hickling motion, with the goal of improving the availability of free legal support in the North East. “We know that’s one thing for our victims and their families that it’s not just the capacity to access

a court locally - it’s the capacity to get legal representation and support that they can actually afford to access,” Ms Chubb said. “We know that most victim survivors have had financial

control over them as well, so their capacity to access support to get legal support that they need to pay for, let alone transport and all those kinds of things is really difficult.”

“While are “Whil ambulances b l always provided to patients when required, about one in five calls to Triple Zero do not need an emergency ambulance response. “Some people hesitate to call 000 because they are not sure if their situation is an emergency - if in doubt, always call Tiple zero and the trained call-taker will help and direct you.” GPs and pharmacists can also provide non-urgent care, while Nurse-On-Call can be reached on 1300 606 024.

Cars kicked in alleged damage spree By RYAN MALCOLM WANGARATTA police are calling for additional footage from community members, after a crime spree which allegedly saw thousands of dollars in damage inflicted to parked cars in broad daylight between Ovens and Baker streets earlier this week. Sergeant Phil Pelgrim of Wangaratta police said a male previously known to police may be able to assist with inquiries, after he was allegedly seen kicking the panels, windows, mirrors and indicators of several cars between 4pm and 4:30pm on Monday afternoon. As of yesterday afternoon, police were aware of up to 10 cars which had suffered damage during the episode. Sgt Pelgrim said police had been notified of the damage by staff from a nearby business, with nearby CCTV cameras later assisting police in identifying the man, who is believed to have caused more than $2000 in damages. The accused man was not believed to have been carrying a weapon. Sgt Pelgrim said police were still searching for the alleged offender, and urged anyone with further footage of the incident or information to contact police on 5723 0888.

Free masks, with a test, from today FREE N95 and KN95 masks will be provided free in Wangaratta to protect some of the most vulnerable members of the community and help reduce transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases. Premier Daniel Andrews and Minister for Health Mary-Anne Thomas yesterday announced that more than three million masks will be handed out to the community through the state-run testing

sites, community health services across Victoria and across the public transport network. The Northeast Health Wangaratta Screening Clinic will stock the free masks from today. The drive-through clinic can be accessed via the Vincent Road entry on a Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 8am-11am. Over the next four to six weeks every person that

presents for either a free rapid antigen or PCR test will receive one box of 10 N95 masks, along with instructions on how best to wear them to reduce transmission. Masks will also be distributed through some of Victoria’s community organisations including at multicultural, multi faith events and Aboriginal gatherings as well as through a number of disability service providers.

In addition, more masks will be available from PTV hubs and staffed train stations while authorised officers and some V/Line conductors will carry masks with them to hand out as needed. Wearing a mask is strongly recommended by the government if you are in an indoor setting, can’t physically distance, have any COVID 19 symptoms, or are with people who may be vulnerable to COVID-19.

MASK UP: Free face masks will be available from today at the Wangaratta screening clinic.

$6000 raised to support Big Brothers Big Sisters

MORE than $6000 was raised at a dinner held on Saturday night to assist Wangaratta’s Big Brothers Big Sisters program. The Dining for Their Future fundraiser, held at the Da Vinci Club in Wangaratta, highlighted the importance of youth mentoring, and raised the much-needed funds to ensure the sustainability of the program into the future. A member of the BBBS partnership team, Melinda Edwards, shared the story of a young boy she had met during her work as a police officer who would have benefited greatly from a mentor in his life, but had no access to a program like Big Brothers Big Sisters. “This was a little boy who didn’t belong in a police cell. This was a little boy who needed some love, support, and guidance in his life,” she said. Melinda said research showed that disadvantaged young people who were socially isolated and disconnected were disproportionately more likely to make poor choices and engage in destructive behaviours, such as criminal activity, and drug and alcohol abuse. This often led to their reliance on government health care, income support and housing, and could result in loss of productivity, which could be costly to both the

government and community. Melinda said the provision of mentoring support could help young people identify their aspirations while establishing enduring connections with others, with research showing that programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters could develop leadership, communication, self-esteem, teamwork and social development, as well as improved academic results and reduced truancy. “In Australia, it costs on average $1400 per day to keep a young person in juvenile detention, compared to the $1500 for Big Brothers Big Sisters to mentor a vulnerable young person and positively shift their trajectory,” she said. Wangaratta businesses offered strong support for the future of the program, donating a vast array of prizes for both the raffle and silent auction held during Saturday’s event. Tables were filled with 75 guests who enjoyed a night of quality entertainment, excellent food and lots of fun. Partnership chairman Cameron Meggs acted as MC for the night,

and called 20 raffle items valued at around $50 each, and at the end of the night announced the winners of more than 10 silent auction items ranging in value from $100 through to $500. Diners were entertained by a range of local talent, including Beechworth guitarist Mieke Bosland’s variety of covers and originals, and duo Georgina Stallard and Beth Code, who showcased their vocal talents and ukulele skills. Brett McClen treated the guests to a set of classic covers, and guitar wizardry, and the night ended with the vocal talents of Taylah Jenkins. Big Brothers Big Sisters chief executive officer Mark Watt travelled from Melbourne to attend the evening, and the partnership team of Big Brothers Big Sisters extended its gratitude to all those who attended and supported the event. The group’s next event will be a collaboration with Kym McAuliffePhilips for the launch of her book, ‘Moving Made Easy’, in September. There will also be a trivia night at the Old Town ‘n’ Country Tavern on October 7. For more information about the program’s activities, see the Big Brothers Big Sisters Wangaratta Facebook page.

Regional family violence court need A FAMILY violence court located in North East Victoria would be a major win for people in the local communities who would use it, but to be more specific, the victims who are experiencing a difficult time in their lives. More than a decade ago, laws changed to better protect victims of family violence and a societal push to encourage more people to speak out against violence, grew. Prior to this, police had limited powers in charging perpetrators and victims weren’t afforded the proper protections in place that exist today such as apprehended violence orders (AVOs), and family violence intervention orders (FVIOs), which are now backed by the courts. High rates of domestic violence, above state averages, in rural and regional towns including Wangaratta, Benalla and Wodonga have been results of concern for several years. With a specialist court we wouldn’t see the current situation where offenders are in the same court as victims of violence. These people are often mothers and children who have been subjected to a whole raft of poor treatment in the home and they deserve stable care by the system after seeking help. Resources are also currently lacking in regional courts, with the timeframe between filing for an AVO or FVIO and getting the resolve they need to move on with their lives, possibly taking years. It is a stressful time for victims of violence and this designated court would aid their recovery while they receive the necessary guidance they need in a specialised manner.

Climate hypocrisy causes destruction ONCE again I am reading how Helen Haines is delivering for Indi (Wangaratta Chronicle, Friday, August 5 edition). Helen is telling us due to her amending the Climate Change Bill that, “this is a victory for regional Australia and its impact will be felt for decades to come. As a result, emissions will be out by 43 per cent”. Due to many years of management from manufacturing, farming households and others, our emissions currently are at one per cent and dropping. My question, this being the case, is ‘Are we on track to reaching zero emissions in the very near future’? Why is the Federal Government and all the followers going down this path of destruction, and when they have gone too far, will they apologise? If a clock is running perfectly to time, you do not touch it. In reference to Helen’s comment, “Regional Australians are not stuck in the last century but the Nationals are and she won’t be dictated to by dinosaurs” - why would you call someone a dinosaur because they don’t agree with you? It’s so insulting, and yes Helen, the Coalition does need to do better in pushing against your radical climate policies. One has to wonder if the Independents didn’t owe Simon HolmesÂ´a Court, would they go down this climate change path? Far too many politicians, from the prime minister down have sold their souls just to be in government. Dot Fox, Wangaratta

How much will a reduction cost? RECENTLY Independent member for Indi Helen Haines proudly voted for the Labor Party’s 43 per cent emissions reduction target Bill. I believe Ms Haines now owes the electors of Indi answers to the following questions. 1. As the sole purpose of the 43pc emissions reduction targets is to reduce the world’s temperature. If Australia’s emissions are reduced from 1.3pc to 1pc of the world’s emissions by 2030, how much of a degree will the world’s temperature be lowered by? 2. With the millions of solar panels, hundreds of thousands of wind turbines, hundreds of thousands of batteries and thousands of kilometres of transmission lines

Should an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice be enshrined into the Australian constitution?

PHOTO: Simone Kerwin required to provide this Co2 emissions free electricity. How much will it all cost (in billions of dollars)? 3. What will stop this cost from being added to the electricity bills of business and residential customers of Indi in the form of extremely high electricity prices? 4. One day in 2030 when all the coal fired power stations are closed, after sunset and it is a still frosty night. What will provide the very essential base load electricity that the electorate of Indi critically depends on? 5. Electricity is only one component of a 43pc emissions reduction target? Are our cattle herds to be reduced by a third as is happening in Holland? Will only electric cars be able to be sold after 2035 as in the UK? What is going to happen to transport? I look forward to Ms Haines answers, as no doubt she has got answers to all these questions? John Moore, Wangaratta

Free masks just what doctor ordered THE Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has thrown its full support behind the Victorian Government’s plan, announced yesterday, to make more than three million N95 and KN95 masks freely available at testing sites, community health

services and on public transport over the next four to six week. This announcement is just what the doctor ordered. The expert advice is clear that masks limit community transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses including influenza. I know that wearing a mask isn’t fun and can be slightly uncomfortable but remember that taking this small step can help drive down COVID-19 numbers across Victoria. It’s not just about protecting yourself, by wearing a mask indoors or where social distancing is difficult you can help keep people safe who are particularly vulnerable to severe effects from COVID-19 and the flu. Adjunct Professor Karen Price, RACGP president

Cancer scholarship is named in Tim’s honour TIM Fischer’s legacy will live on through a new scholarship named in his honour for a cause that was close to his heart, the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre. Donations made in memory of the former Deputy Prime Minister will be used to establish the Tim Fischer Memorial Scholarship, offering cancer centre staff the opportunity to complete a fully-funded Master of Cancer Sciences. Offered online through the University of Melbourne, the two-year course, valued at $27,000, aims to up-skill staff in the rapidly evolving fields of clinical care and cancer research. Board member, Bryan Blake, said Mr Fischer was a close friend and long-time champion of the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund before he lost his battle with myeloid leukaemia in 2019. “Tim was an incredibly generous supporter of our cause right to the very end,” he said. “On the direction of Tim and his family, we were honoured to receive $24,000 in funeral donations, as well as a bequest of $40,000 from his estate. “In the weeks before his death, Tim also organised an historic train ride in partnership with Lachlan Valley Railway, which raised a further $8000.

A FITTING HONOUR: Pictured (from left) Trust Fund board member Bryan Blake, Albury Wodonga Health operational manager of cancer services Kate Everitt, Tim Fischer’s wife Judy Brewer and Tim’s sister Vicki Baudry. “We are truly grateful for Tim’s generosity and believe the scholarship program will be a fitting tribute to honour his legacy for years to come.” Mr Fischer’s widow, Judy Brewer, said it was special to be able to continue the connection that her late husband had with the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre. “It would have been Tim’s dream

to see the cancer centre grow and flourish, and what better way to do that than by investing in its staff,” she said. “We were so fortunate to have this amazing hospital, service and beautiful people around us during those last months and days. “It’s a privilege for us to be able to give something back to support this great work in the future.”

Lachlan Valley Railway Society chairman, Ross Jackson, also welcomed the scholarship as a way of honour Mr Fischer, who he had known since he was 14. “I could not think of a better way to invest the money raised,” he said. “Tim would be proud of the legacy.” Applications for the Tim Fischer Memorial Scholarship will open in the coming weeks.

Riverine Plains’ first Innovation Expo was resounding success THE inaugural Riverine Plains Innovation Expo was held from July 27-29, and attended by over 700 people from across Australia. The event had a focus on bringing innovation to the region under the theme ‘Farming Ahead of the Curve’ and provided an opportunity for farmers and businesses to showcase new and emerging technologies, create connections, challenge the status quo and share insights. Riverine Plains’ chief executive officer Catherine Marriott said the event was designed to help farmers capitalise on new technologies, research and ideas to help them continue to achieve prosperous and sustainable businesses. “The event exceeded all our expectations - the quality of the exhibitors and speakers was incredible and the number of people from our region who engaged with and supported the event was mindblowing,” Ms Marriott said. The event featured agronomy and animal-technology focused farm tours, an innovation field day showcasing the latest in AgTech from across Australia, an innovation conference, as well as networking events and a gala dinner, which raised over $15,000 for the Riverine Plains’ Scholarship Fund. “It was a particular privilege to host the National Farmers Federation and Victorian

Tribute to two founding members of Glenrowan Indoor Carpet Bowls Club IN the last month two of the foundation members of the Glenrowan Indoor Carpet Bowls Club have passed away. Soon after the Glenrowan Hall was completed a group of local residents met on January 1996 to form a bowls club. Included in tha group were William ‘Bill’ Lynch, who passed away on July 22 aged 87 years, and Marion Pearce, who passed away on July 27 aged 102 years. Marion’s husband Colin was elected the club’s first president and he remained in that position until September 2009. He continued to play bowls until November 6, only three weeks before he died on November 29, 2013. Life memberships were extended to Colin and Marion Pearce at the annual general meeting on August 18, 2010 in recognition of their service to the club. Marion continued to play bowls until her last game in the Glenrowan Hall on May 1, 2019. She was then 99 years old, shortly before she entered St John’s Retirement Village.

EXPO ENTHUSIASTS: Innovation Expo attendees on a farm tour. Farmers Federation Towards 2030 Forum, where we bought the nation’s brightest policy minds to our region and gave our members an opportunity to engage directly with our elected leaders,” Ms Marriott said. The innovation conference event hosted a plethora of brilliant speakers, including Mary O’Brien from ‘Are you Bogged Mate?’. Mary presented an important message around men’s mental health; shockingly, seven people succeed at suicide daily in Australia, with a large proportion being rural men. Mary explained that this isn’t a problem with men, it’s a problem with the environment we create for them to resolve challenges. “Mary also spoke of how important it is for us all to lean in and ask the difficult questions if we are worried about someone, as scary as it may seem,”

Ms Marriott said. Richard Heath, from the Australian Farm Institute, spoke on sustainability markets (carbon credits) and how they will impact people on farms. His key message for farmers was to start benchmarking their properties as pressure will commence from banks and insurance institutions before it starts to inevitably impact markets. Decision making in farm businesses was the focus of a presentation by Cam Nicholson (Nicon Rural), who highlighted the difference between a good decision and a right decision (a good decision is informed, a right decision is one where you roll the dice and end up in the right spot). Key to Cam’s messaging was the importance of slowing down and understanding the metrics surrounding your decisions.

Mystery writer visits the library today BY BELINDA HARRISON bharrison@ nemedia.com.au

WHILE our fantastic library building in Wangaratta may not be as grand as the Boston Public Library in America, librarians will be hoping the differences continue when Sulari Gentill speaks among the stacks today. Sulari’s Rowland Sinclair Mysteries are popular with readers of all ages and fans will be excited to know that she is working on the 11th book now. “Rowland will be returning for several books yet,” Sulari promised. Sulari has also just submitted a new novel to her agent - another standalone - which is sure to be just as popular as her previous standalone novel Crossing the Lines and this new book, The Woman in the Library. The Woman in the Library is a story within a story folded into the pages of correspondence and follows the metafiction genre presented so well in Crossing the Lines. “It is the story of four strangers who happen to be sitting at the same table in the reading room of the Boston Public Library, when a ragged scream shatters the silence and bonds them in the shared experience of that moment,” Sulari explained. “A search reveals nothing it’s as if the scream came from nowhere and disappeared into nowhere.”

Get outdoors and Take Ten for Timor

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A workplace

change could lead to that promotion you’ve been hoping for. But you’ll have to face some tough competition before the Lion can claim his or her share of the goodies.

By ANITA McPHERSON WITH spring just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to set yourself a challenge, improve your health and get walking, at the same time boosting support for the people of East Timor. Local group Friends of Lacluta have launched a “Take Ten for Timor” fundraising campaign to raise money for projects focussing on health and education outcomes for the people of Timor Leste. The campaign encourages participants to set themselves a challenge for August, such as walking two thousand steps a day, and “fining” themselves $10 on each day they don’t reach their goal. At the end of the month, participants add up their “fines” and donate the total to the Friends of Lacluta’s bank account. Member Karen Jones said she came up with the idea in 2020 when a group of friends in lockdown were looking for motivation to get out and do something on their own. She said they set themselves a challenge to walk a set number of steps each day, fining themselves $10 when they didn’t make it, which was then donated. “We managed to raise enough

(June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels are rising, and you feel like you can handle anything that the job requires. While that’s great, don’t isolate yourself. Keep your door open to your workplace colleagues for sound advice.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your

rigidity regarding a difficult workplace situation could be the reason your colleagues aren’t rushing to your assistance. Try being more flexible in your demands.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 22) That uneasy mood could be your Libran inner voice reminding you that while it’s great to be with your new friends, you need to take care not to ignore your old ones.

SCORPIO

(October 23 to November 21) A sudden spate of criticism could shake the Scorpion’s usually high sense of selfconfidence. Best advice: You made a decision you believed in -- now defend it.

FITNESS BOOST: Friends of Lacluta supporters including (from left) Karen Jones, Melanie Dymond, Liz Cerini, Marino Candusio and Rabela Punef go walking in Myrtleford to achieve their daily steps and support people in Timor Leste. money to buy a student a computer, which was great, so we thought we’d throw it out there again and encourage others to join in,” she said. “It’s a personal motivation and it’s very flexible - you can set whatever challenge you like and do it in your own way - and Friends of Lacluta might get a few donations at the end of it. “The take-home is, if you don’t make your challenge you don’t feel so bad, because Timor is benefitting.” While the challenge was ini-

tially set for the month of August, people can jump in anytime or set their own dates and goals, remembering to tally their fines at the end of it. Some of the funds raised will go to repairing the toilets at the small remote school in Carlo, and providing mother and baby bags to the neediest mothers at the birthing centre. To find out more visit Friends of Lacluta on Facebook with donations welcome to Wangaratta Friends of Lacluta’s account (BSB 633000 Account 135500015).

SAGITTARIUS

(November 22 to December 21) Your reluctance to help restart a stalled relationship could be traced to unresolved doubts about your partner’s honesty. Rely on a trusted friend’s advice.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19) The capricious Sea Goat is torn between duty and diversion. Best advice: Do both. Tend to your everyday chores, and then go out and enjoy your well-earned fun time.

These usually involve one day per week out of school either at a workplace or TAFE. There is a culture of achievement, and the College unapologetically sets high expectations. There is a dedicated staff of teacher and support staff who work with students to ensure success in the VCE years and support them in preparing to transition to life after school. The College currently has positions available in Year 11 and Year 12 for 2023 so contact them today to arrange a tour.

Inclusive Indigenous language program IT has been a positive start to term three at Yarrunga Primary School, with students working hard and doing their best at school. A highlight for the term will be Book Week with the Book Parade Dress Up Day on August 26 which is always a wonderful celebration of books and their characters. Last term, as part of Reconciliation Week in early June, the school’s Bindi Group organised a series of activities to engage students and included Indigenous sports at recess and lunchtimes. “Reconciliation Week is a great opportunity to reflect on how we deliver an Inclusive Indigenous Education Program,

and acknowledge the beautiful culture and contribution of our First Nations’ Peoples,” Yarrunga Principal Fran Waterman said. “In Bpangerang students have been learning more language, and thinking about the remarkable engineering of Koorie People.” Yarrunga has extended its teaching of language with students in all year levels having an hour each week engaging

in the Indigenous language program. Almost 20 per cent of Yarrunga Primary’s student population identifies as Koori and Ms Waterman said the classes were an important way of ensuring the students’ culture was visible and respected. “The teaching of Indigenous

language is fairly limited in Victorian schools, however Wooragee Primary School teaches Dhudhuroa language and Bright P-12 College teaches Dhudhuroa and Murinpatha (a non-Victorian) Aboriginal language,” Ms Waterman said. “Bright P-12 also oﬀers Dhudhuroa at VCE level.”

Yarrunga Primary worked with local Indigenous elders to gain approval to teach Bpangerang, with strong support from Bpangerang Elder Uncle Dozer. If you are considering Yarrunga Primary School for your child/ ren or would like to organise a tour, please contact the oﬃce to arrange a meeting.

Excellence in continuing education THE Centre for Continuing Education celebrates 60 years of adult education in the North East this year. It oﬀers quality education and individual support to people of all ages and abilities in small, friendly groups with 96 per cent of learners recommending The Centre to others after they finish their course. Courses for a promising career The Centre oﬀers certificate courses that qualify people to start their career or change their career later in life. In health care and education, there is a growing shortage of workers. You can learn in class, or start to work and receive on-the-job training. Sandra (58) finished her course in disability support last year. “If you would like to learn at The Centre, I’d say give it a redhot go,” she said. “You will meet a lot of new people, make new friends, you learn new skills and you learn a lot about yourself.” Support to enter training or find work Chloe (17) was unhappy with her job and started at The Centre. “The work I did wasn’t satisfying,” she said. “I wanted to find something that I am really passionate

New gardens and a special excursion THERE has been a lot happening at Carraragarmungee Primary School in semester one, and semester two will oﬀer more exciting opportunities for students and families. Carra took part in the National Tree Planting Day and planted more than 300 trees which is a monumental eﬀort. As a reward, they were gifted 50 native plants for new gardens at the school and look forward to planting them. Recent working bees have given the school a boost and the garden is primed to explode when spring arrives. The new shade sails are also being installed and are looking fantastic. Following a grant earlier in the year, renovations are well underway on one of the old classrooms with new plaster, paint and a new floor to be installed. The portable will be turned into a gym for gymnastics and other similar activities.

SUPERVISOR: Jean the Therapy Dog oversees the students’ tree planting abilities.

Students from Carra and Everton primary schools have enjoyed cello, violin and drum lessons and activities from visiting specialty teachers and the Kitchen Garden program is back up and running in conjunction with Everton. Term three will see an exciting excursion on

the cards with students heading to Science Works, the planetarium and the Neighbourhood Earth Exhibition as part of their theme for science (space). If you would like to consider Carra for your child/ren, please contact the school to arrange a visit.

One hundred days of school LAST Tuesday morning teachers and staﬀ at Wangaratta Primary School were shocked to find that their Foundation students had failed to turn up to school. In their place, a sea of silver wigs, pearly necklaces, walking sticks and suspenders hobbled into the classroom donning ear to ear grins. Foundation students celebrated the milestone of 100 days of school by dressing up as 100 year olds. Teachers, however, weren’t just celebrating 100 days of school, they were thrilled to have been able to complete 100 days of face-to-face teaching, uninterrupted by lockdowns and remote learning. Since day dot the Foundation students have been counting the days of school, eagerly anticipating the much awaited ‘100 days party’. Since reaching the twenties, students have practiced counting by tens and ones to reach their daily count. As well as dressing up, students also brought in a collection of ‘100 things’ from home, where they were encouraged to have rich conversations with their families around counting to 100 and some diﬀerent ways to get there. The day was a celebration of more than just mathematics learning, however. Students and teachers took time to reflect on some of their favourite memories of their first 100 days, making a special video to commemorate the event. Some of the students’ fondest memories

WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN? Wangaratta Primary School Foundation students celebrating their 100 days of schooling.

have been making new friends, learning to read and write, singing songs and playing the drums, going to art class and Bush School. Now 100 days smarter, the Foundation class have written a book for kindergarten students with advice on starting school. Things you need to know, according to the students, include how to sit on the floor, how to tie your shoelaces and how to pack your school bag. Check out the Wangaratta Primary School Facebook page for more photos of the special day. If you have a child starting school next year and you would like to find out more information on what the school has to oﬀer, please call the school to book a personalised tour.

First excursions for students THE Foundation students at Oxley Primary School recently took part in their first excursion, which was an exciting occasion for the children as many had not travelled on a bus with their friends before. They boarded the bus after recess and headed into Merriwa Park Wangaratta for a play and some lunch before walking over to the Wangaratta Performing Art Centre to watch the play Edward the Emu. Prior to the excursion, the students had conducted an author study, discovering Sheena Knowles’ books What a Load of Nonsense, Edwina the Emu and Edward the Emu and walked away from the performance with a very good understanding of what they had watched. Grade 3 and 4 students also recently took part in a camp to 15 Mile Creek, the first they have been able to attend since they started school. It proved to be an exciting experience as they learnt about their natural environment and developed knowledge and skills associated with their health and wellbeing. The Parents and Friends have been active in organising activities to raise money for a new playground at the school with a major raﬄe currently running. It is hoped the money raised will go a long way to secure the necessary funds for the new facility. Upcoming exciting activities include a trivia night to be held at the Oxley Hall on

ST Patrick’s Primary School students are making connections with their local environment by reflecting on the past, experiencing the present and planning for the protection of the future. Their FIRE (Friends Igniting Reconciliation in Education) Carrier students have been reflecting on how in the past the local environment was cared for by local Aboriginal custodians. They have been learning about dreamtime stories encountered on the Bullawah Cultural trail,

and finding out about the importance of totems and their role in caring for country. Year three and four students have also been participating in the River Detectives program, developed by the Catchment Management Authorities. This program inspires students to understand, appreciate and care for local waterways through engaging, cross-curricular, citizen-science activities. Students learn how water, land, plants, animals, people and communities are

all integrally linked through conducting monthly water quality testing. These students helped to educate the school community on the current health of the local area along the Ovens River and noted that improvements need to be made in the amount of litter and rubbish found in these waterways. The FIRE Carriers are now planning for ways in which the school community can take steps to care for country and help make choices for the betterment of our future natural environment.

NERPSA: the power of learning in the early years THE North East Regional Pre School Association (NERPSA) has always supported the fact that two years of early childhood education assists children to become happy and confident individuals who are ready to learn and develop. For many years now NERPSA has actioned this belief through the provision of three-year-old kindergarten programs and has therefore welcomed the provision of government funded three-year-old kindergarten programs. NERPSA has 10 of its 14 early childhood services providing three-year-old kindergarten options for children and parents to access. For the 2023 kindergarten year NERPSA will continue to provide five hours of funded three-year-old kindergarten programs. The greatest amount of brain development occurs in the period from birth to five years of age. This can be evidenced by the research that demonstrates that at birth a brain weighs approximately 400g and then by the three to five years of age period the brain weighs approximately 1.1kg. Upon adulthood the brain weighs approximately 1.3kgs. The early years are where brain growth has its most important development, and therefore they are instrumental in the lifelong potential of a child. NERPSA has further supported these beliefs by supporting their dedicated staﬀ to undertake professional development in the area of supporting and nurturing brain development in children. NERPSA understands that this

NERPSA is in the process of developing a Developmental Trauma Informed Framework, to support this. NERPSA’s Early Childhood Teachers and Educators are being supported through professional development days and programs. Through these, NERPSA staﬀ will build their knowledge and skills in this significant area that will benefit all children attending NERPSA Early Childhood Services.

Equipping students for future careers GALEN Catholic College’s Senior School is comprised of students in Years 10-12. Senior students have the flexibility to study a course that suits their own interests and allows them to develop their own pathways to success. Galen oﬀers a wide variety of options including VCE with 36 subject choices, VCE Vocational Major, 10 VET courses and a School Based Apprenticeship and Traineeship Program. Within the college, they have the facilities for many VET courses including Building and Construction with a VET shed on site, along with a fully equipped hospitality kitchen and café. Their vineyard is situated just across from the college and their new stadium and performing art centre is due for completion towards the end of 2023 providing first class facilities for the college and community. Pathways in a regional community can be academic, taking the students to university in regional or capitals such as Melbourne and Sydney but significantly

a significant proportion of their senior students, up to 20 per cent, attain apprenticeships and traineeships in their final year. This is a considerable achievement, up to 2.5 times the state average for students. A recent report for Foundation for Young Australia (FYA) explored that the career pathways for young people looks very different to those of their parents. Instead of a few jobs across a single career pathway, it is estimated that a young person today will have approximately 18 different jobs over six different careers in their lifetime (source FYA New Work Order report series). The range of opportunities to learn, grow and engage with our community provide each Galen student the foundation to adapt to their own pathways of success.

A busy term three lays ahead TERM three at Appin Park Primary School is shaping up to be a busy one with the highlight being the whole school production to be held at the Wangaratta Performing Arts centre on Thursday, August 25. Rehearsals are well underway with all students working hard on learning songs, dance moves and scripts for their parts in the performance. The opportunity to perform on a big stage is an exciting one and students are looking forward to sharing their talents with a large audience. Tickets are now on sale for both the matinee and evening performance. The grade five and six students are fortunate to be able to take part in another camp this year through the Victorian Government’s Positive Start Initiative, providing students with opportunities to undertake experiences they may have missed out on during COVID restrictions. The camp is fully funded and will see students travel to Lorne for four days of activities at the beach,

including surfing and rock pool investigations. This term in the classrooms the year three/ four students are planning, designing and building their own houses using recycled materials. The senior students are focussed on performing, music and drama while the junior students continue to build on their literacy, numeracy, and social skills through hands-on activities and play based learning opportunities. All students are working on reducing waste and recycling wherever possible through their environmental science lessons and sharing their learning at the fortnightly assemblies as well as a War on Waste presentation to families in the school library. Anyone with a Foundation student for next year is encouraged to have a look at Appin Park Primary School as enrolments are available for 2023. They look forward to showing families around and sharing what Appin Park Primary School has to oﬀer your child.

A taste of health industry careers ON Tuesday, July 26, 16 lucky senior students from Wangaratta High School were given the opportunity to attend a ‘Taste of Health’ tour at Northeast Health Wangaratta. The students were broken up into two groups and given a whirlwind tour of the hospital, which included entry into the new Critical Care Unit. The hospital is currently undergoing a multimillion dollar upgrade which will see an increase in beds in each unit to accommodate the growing number of patients they see every year. After the tour, the students were given the privilege of going to the education centre at the hospital which is part of Melbourne University. Each group watched a high fidelity SIM Lab demonstration where medical students were doing an assessment. All students had the chance to talk to health care professionals and gain an insight in to life as a health care worker and the potential career paths oﬀered. Thank you to Di McIntosh and her support staﬀ at Northeast Health Wangaratta for their time arranging this experience for the Wangaratta High School students, it was an invaluable excursion.

Start your career here at home By LEAH ANDERSON-BYRNE

FOR me as an 18 year old fresh out of Wangaratta High School in 2018, getting a full time job at my local newspaper was a dream come true. The opportunity to begin my career in journalism with the Wangaratta Chronicle and hone my knowledge and skills in town without having to move away - while also earning a full-time income - was too good to miss. The knowledge and skills I’ve accrued and the lessons I’ve learnt over the three years of my journalism cadetship - from both my colleagues and the wider community - have been invaluable to my career and my personal growth. Over the years I have shared the stories of some amazing people, worked with crucial organisations and groups, and covered many important events and issues in our community and wider region. Some of my responsibilities included regular collation of ‘Flashbacks’ which looked at content from 10 years in the past, weekly and fortnightly features such as the Monday’s People and Seniors Features, which were both human interest focused and some up to 1500 words. I have been in charge of monitoring feedback and

posting content across all of the publications on social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as well as uploading and editing the website content. I have enjoyed covering issues and funding announcements for the local LGBTQIA+ community as well as a five-part pride month series with local LGBTQIA+ youth. I researched and wrote six feature pieces for the North East Living magazine, a separate publication created by North East Media, which allowed me to

explore my creative writing skills. A highlight for me was getting the chance to do on the scene coverage of the 2018 floods and the 2019/2020 bushfires in the North East region. For a young journalist, being a part of these once in a generation disasters and seeing the impact they had on local families, people I knew and my own family home, was incredibly impactful. I have covered sensitive issues such as homelessness, mental health and violence against women with local groups

including the Centre Against Violence, Women’s Health Goulburn North East and North East Support and Action for Youth. During all of this, I was studying online with Deakin University’s Country Press Australia’s PostCadet Journalism course, which gave me an extra insight into the world of journalism and was very ‘doable’ to complete while working full time; with only one assignment every month for eight months of the year. From February this year I’ve been working part-time remotely while attending Deakin University in Geelong completing my studies with a Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) and, thanks to my three years of the CPA course, I only have to complete a year and a half. The entire four years of my young career has left me with high expectations for quality of co-workers, opportunity for a wide range of topics to explore and the warmth of connection in communities. I fully encourage every young person interested in journalism to give this path a go. • Interested?

DARREN ‘DARTA’ HOVEY

DAVID ARMSTRONG Six of our year nine students have headed to the far southwest of Victoria for a nine week residential leadership and outdoor education program at the Gnurad Gundidj campus of the School for Student Leadership. This is one of several campuses in every corner of the state. Wangaratta High School has a very strong heritage in this space with involvement since the inception of this program with the first campus at Dinner Plain. Our six students went through a rigorous selection process here, and they joined other small groups from schools across the state. Coupled with a challenging and rewarding outdoor journey and adventure, they work on projects to support their own leadership growth and sense of self and follow through with implementing that project when they return. In addition to the chance to apply for the School for Student Leadership, there are some other exciting opportunities coming up for students, many of which take advantage of our wonderful ‘backyard’ of North East Victoria, as well as beyond. Students will be heading to the snow for downhill and cross country skiing in the coming weeks. There are excursions to Beechworth and Myrtleford and sporting events in town, Wodonga and beyond. We recognise the value of these experiential learning opportunities for the many benefits they bring – encouraging cooperation, a variety of options for practice and experimentation, providing a venue to safely make mistakes, encouraging reflection and increasing creativity – and so much fun! We are very pleased to be again supporting senior students’ enthusiasm to participate in a debutante ball, and we are offering two to accommodate the gap in events due to the pandemic. Boys and girls have been preparing for many weeks now, with a significant dedication to weekend practices and training. I am pleased that the students have significant ownership in the design of the evening and that they are so excited to include close and extended family, as well as inviting staff WANGARATTA HIGH SCHOOL 17-49 Edwards St, Wangaratta Phone (03) 5723 0500

from the school. It was a privilege to represent the school and our region recently at a special dinner at Trinity College at the University of Melbourne. The dinner was hosted by the combined residential colleges of the University to hear from regional principals, and it was an honour to be on the panel to share the challenges and aspirations of our school and region for students to have the best opportunity. There was a number of remarkable speakers also. A highlight was Professor Pip Nicholson, who is the Vice Chancellor of People and Community, and with the residential colleges, is exceptionally motivated to improve access and opportunities for students from regional Australia. A key message that resonated with me was the critical role that public education, college life and university play in disrupting the class and societal structures that exist and levelling the ﬁeld for excellence and endeavour, no matter the background. As a truly comprehensive school, Wangaratta High School is very proud that it intentionally serves all its students so well and that this is a key part of our DNA. The colleges announced 60 new scholarships (in addition to many that already exist) that seek to improve access even further, with a focus on young regional students like ours as well as other factors such as those that might be the ﬁrst in their family to attend university. The colleges are an essential part of the puzzle to allow university attendance for students from North East Victoria if they wish to be in a capital city, as they provide a rich, caring and invigorating environment for success. Enrolments for 2023 are well underway for our next group of year sevens and it is pleasing for all to have such enthusiasm to join our wonderful school. In most cases, families are working with their respective primary school but please do not hesitate to make contact with the High School if we can assist in any way. I am keen to meet with prospective parents so please let us know if I can help, or even if you just keen to meet me.

Creation of Learning Spaces The start of term three has brought with it the early stages of our $8 million building program, consisting of a new Performing Arts Centre and a doubling of the size of our current indoor sports stadium. At the moment we have two cleared pieces of land which by the end of term three next year will be fully operational, providing our community the opportunity to engage in state-ofthe-art facilities. These two separate spaces will ensure that the significant demand we see at Galen Catholic College for our physical education, outdoor education, drama and music programs will not only be met, but staff given the opportunity to engage with our students at a deeper level providing learning opportunities that are seldom seen in regional secondary schools. When I first saw the plans earlier this year, I did not immediately focus on what the buildings were primarily designed for. Whilst as a community we have significant opportunities for physical and outdoor education, sports, as well as drama and music classes from Year 7 to Year 12 including VCE and VET, what I first saw was an opportunity for the whole school community to come together as one. My experience of the past eight years in leading another school in our region, which had a facility for up to 1400 people to gather, highlighted the importance of creating a space we as a school community can gather to celebrate who we are, to come together in times of challenge and to engage in growing the community to be the best version of itself. When we develop learning spaces, we look to see how they can be flexibly used. These facilities need to be used every minute, of every day. They are designed to engage students and staff, to not just complement learning and teaching, but to inspire students and staff to get the most out of their gifts and talents. These facilities can be and will be utilised by all staff and students who believe their learning opportunities are best suited to be delivered in these spaces. The past two and half years have made it incredibly difficult for students, staff and families to gather and interact to further develop our relationships. In the first half of this year our assemblies have been conducted outside under GALEN CATHOLIC COLLEGE College St, Wangaratta Phone (03) 5721 6322

our dome or online. Both these new facilities will allow us to gather and engage in school activities such as Discovery Nights, Junior and Senior School Productions, whole school assemblies and multiple sport activities at the one time. But I believe this ability for us to come together and continue to complete activities that allow us to engage face to face, all year round in one space, will make us a tighter, more connected community. This also includes our families as the new sports stadium will have the capacity to bring our families into a space, where they too can fully experience the opportunities, we offer with our student body. The first event the new Performing Arts Centre will host in 2023 will be the Junior School Production. College productions at Galen Catholic College have been a hallmark of our community and as a result we regularly have large numbers of students participating in this pathway. This facility will also support our House Leaders, providing them with a more intimate space to engage with all the staff and students aligned to their House community, further developing the House identity. The Performing Arts Centre also provides us with the opportunity for staff professional learning, staff meetings as well as a regional hub for educators to come together with students from other regional schools. Importantly, these facilities will not be just for school use only. We see these facilities as being a part of the extended Wangaratta community and we will explore with local organisations and groups how the facilities can be utilised so that they are not just a 9am – 4pm, 5 days a week facility. For the moment, I need to be content dreaming of what will be? Wondering what will our first production be? How many sports activities can we hold in the stadium at one time? Or who will be a key note presenter at our first professional learning day late in 2023? Hopefully the rain will stay away for a few more days so that our cleared sites do not suddenly convert into outdoor swimming pools.

Happy days, Darta

students explore who they are and what their strengths and talents may be, students at CCW are exposed to specialist teachers in a variety of purpose-built facilities. Students follow the Australian Curriculum for English and Mathematics but will move to specialist classrooms for Science, Geography and History and Health and Physical Education. Students make guided choices to select subjects in the elective program – selecting a specific course in Languages Other Than English – German and Indonesian, Visual Arts, Performing Arts – Music or Drama, Technologies – Food, Materials or Digital and new physically active opportunities such as Outdoor Education or Agriculture and Horticulture. Giving students choice and decision making in the middle school years promotes a sense of ownership of learning and the opportunity to experience a range of diverse subjects. Students continue to explore religion, ethics and values in RAVE classes. Students investigate who they are and their individual interests further in Community Time, in a specifically allocated time for the Middle School. Mixing with other members of their sub-school allows for peer mentoring and cross-age interest development. These are crucial in developing a student to feel a sense of belonging and achievement. Senior School - Developing a Sense of Achievement The Senior School, from Year Nine to Year Twelve, continues to build upon partnerships in education between teachers, parents and students. Developing new, and consolidating existing, capabilities in learning across the curriculum equips students to make informed choices about their future. As a non-selective school, we admit students at all levels of ability. We pride ourselves on the achievement of enhanced academic outcomes and personal best performance through our broad, well-balanced and comprehensive curriculum. Opportunities for differentiated learning pathways are supported with a strong emphasis on core subjects in conjunction with a wide range of elective subjects to suit individual interests. Engaging and authentic teaching and learning practices that integrate various learning technologies prepare our students for life beyond school. Academic integrity and rigour reinforce the College’s philosophy of promoting a culture where learning and academic excellence are highly regarded. We do however acknowledge, that our senior years are not a one size fits all model. There is a focus on each individual and in supporting their transition from secondary school, whether it be to the world of work, a vocational pathway or university. Next year, as part of our VCE Pathways Program, we are increasing our Vocational and Education Training offerings and continuing to support students completing School Based Apprenticeships as part of their regular VCE Program. Shortly, our Year Ten and Eleven students will be selecting their subjects for next year, and we will be supporting students to select the subjects that best support their pathway, whatever that may be. We know that every student learns and achieves differently, and we strive to ensure all our students leave our school gates with a wellrounded education and the skill set required to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Learning @ CCW – Our curriculum With such a sustained focus on dealing with the pandemic and the associated issues and disruptions that have arisen, it is wonderful to settle back into the ebb and flow of a relatively normal school day. Thankfully, our students have had the opportunity to return to their regular teaching and learning programs and this has allowed me to focus further on our core business, that of teaching and learning, and reflect on the programs and curriculum offered at Cathedral College Wangaratta. Being a Prep to Year Twelve school has many wonderful advantages. In essence, we are one College with three sub-schools. Over our 20-year history, we have refined and honed our curriculum and we are able to provide a sequential and progressive learning program that is tailored to each stage of learning in our Junior, Middle and Senior sub schools. We aim to inspire a passion for learning, a sense of wonder and a commitment to excellence. A strong culture of learning and achievement is inherent throughout the College and we have high expectations of our students and their level of application to their studies. We know that students thrive in subjects they enjoy and experience success in. Consequently, attention is paid to engaging students in their learning, whether through interest or challenge. Students are exposed to various opportunities to think critically, think on their feet, persist with difficult things and to seek and value feedback. Our staff are committed to ensuring the most effective learning environment for all students, ensuring academic rigour and supporting students to achieve their best. By knowing our students well, we can build on their skills and develop important steps at each stage of their education, monitoring closely their individual successes and offering a broad and differentiated curriculum. Each subschool has its own focus, and we endeavour to develop a sense of belonging, a sense of discovery and a sense of achievement as our students’ journey thought their learning experience at the College. We have recently refreshed our website and our Director of Studies, Mrs Julie Findlay, has provided a wonderful overview of the curriculum offered across our sub-schools. Junior School - Developing a Sense of Belonging Students from Prep to Year Five discover the wide world of learning through Literacy, Numeracy, Science and Humanities, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Health and Physical Education, Indonesian and German. Students explore the Christian values of the school and other faiths, during Religious and Values Education (RAVE)classes. Explicit teaching and applied learning activities help students to build sequential knowledge and apply their learning while problem-solving and communicating with others. We celebrate the diversity of experiences in the local community and engage in outside school activities when possible. Middle School - Developing a Sense of Discovery The middle years of schooling, Year Six to Eight, offer students an opportunity to build upon the foundations of their learning in an environment which meets their individual needs as young adults during a period of significant growth and development.

Gino celebrates 70 years from Italy to King Valley By ANITA McPHERSON

THE Corsini family of the King Valley is celebrating 70 years since patriarch Gino Corsini embarked on the journey of a lifetime, arriving in Australia after bravely leaving his homeland of Italy. Gino was just 19 when he boarded the Castel Bianco in 1952 with a friend, spending 28 days at sea before arriving in Australia on August 1 where they were sent to the Greta migrant camp in New South Wales. On a two year working contract, once they left the camp the pair found employment harder to come by than expected, and headed to Queensland where Gino found work as an airport gardener, then cutting sugar cane in the far north town of Babinda. Gino remembers it was “too hot” and the food was completely different, but he also remembers juicy T-bone steaks which were straight from the farm and so soft they would melt in your mouth. “We couldn’t understand anything, we didn’t know the money so when we went to the pub we pulled it out of the pocket, held it out and they took what they needed,” he said. “Some people were very nice, some not so good, but the biggest trouble for us was the language.” Gino remembers riding a motorbike without a licence and when he’d get near town, he’d hide it in the

MEMORIES: Gino Corsini (at left) made the trip from Italy at just 19, arriving in Australia in 1952, spending time in a migrant camp before heading to Queensland to find employment as a gardener, cutting cane and on a tobacco farm. Today at 89 (on right) he enjoys watching his children and grandchildren forge their own paths in life from the cellar door he built at La Cantina King Valley. PHOTO: Anita McPherson bushes to avoid the police. After a couple of months he decided to go and get his license and when he arrived at the station, the policeman asked him where he’d parked the bike today - wise to the young man’s wily ways. He granted the paper licence, later signing off giving Gino permission to drive a car too. Gino spent just a short time in Babinda cutting cane - after contracting Leptospirosis, a bacterial infection from rats living with it. In 1953 he moved to Mareeba where he sharefarmed for five years and where he met his wife-tobe, Australian-born Carmel Musumeci, at a local dance. They married in 1958. He also sponsored his family in Italy and brought them over, but when Gino’s

father became ill from the climate in Queensland, they moved to North East Victoria with Gino and Carmel soon to follow. “I was very, very keen to buy a piece of land, and I found this,” Gino says of the 100 acre property in the King Valley he found in 1969, where they began growing tobacco before beginning a transition to grapes in 1980, going on to grow for Brown Brothers for the next 25 years. But Gino also continued the family tradition of making his own wine for family and friends and in 1995, Gino and Carmel established La Cantina King Valley, building its distinctive, Tuscan style stone cellar door in 1997. Over his life he’s suffered a few near death experiences, including nearly being swallowed by quicksand

Craft session in Cheshunt

while washing his clothes in a creek, and being struck by lightning, but he says what probably hurt him most was the loss of his beloved wife in 2003. Today there is some comfort in watching the family they built together grow, including four children and 11 grandchildren, who are now forging their own paths. Daughter Linda says it was the children who approached Gino with the idea of creating a special release wine to mark the significant milestone, called Nonno’s Fortified - a dessert wine made in the tawny port style from a blend of four red varietals and late harvest Chardonnay. Described as being rich flavoured and ‘like plum pudding in a glass’, there are just 500 individually num-

bered bottles available, released on August 1 in 2022 - exactly 70 years to the day after Gino’s arrival in Australia. The bottles feature a beautiful portrait of Gino by artist Julian Bruere, painted a few years ago when a group of artists visited the property seeking inspiration from the picturesque landscape. The original portrait is believed to be hanging in a museum in Milan today. Now 89, Gino says time feels like it has flown by and people would find it hard to believe some of the things that have happened to him, but it’s all true - just part of a very rich and remarkable life.

Country stacks up in VCE

A STUDENT’S ability to apply themselves during their schooling is a large part of how they perform in VCE, but there are many other factors that contribute their desired outcome such as getting into a university course of their choice. Despite students dealing with adversity from the pandemic in 2020 and the touted country-city education divide, they performed reasonably well judging by the VCE study scores released by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCCA).

Teens look to the future with uni

WANGARATTA High School year 12 graduates Kayla Fisher and Amy Henderson were among hundreds of local students, and tens of thousands around the state, who received their first round university offers yesterday. The pair are both interested in humanitarian work and development, and were offered their first choice course at their chosen universities. Kayla, 17, has been offered a

double degree in Arts and Public Policy with a major in third-world development at the Australian National University in Canberra. “I was happy with my ATAR score even if I thought I could do better but it’s been a tough year,” Kayla said. “It was difficult not having feedback from classmates because I didn’t know if I was doing okay or needed to improve. “But, I got there in the end and am

looking forward to the next step.” Amy, 18, will be doing occupational therapy at Deakin but hopes to branch into humanitarian work in third world countries. “I had hoped for a higher ATAR but I didn’t need one, I’m pretty happy with how I went,” Amy said. “Last year I really missed out on having the balance of sport and social aspects of school which really help me get through the study aspect.

offers

“The offer I received was my first choice so I’m really happy with that.

“I’ll jump straight in this year I think because my initial plans to have a gap year and travel aren’t likely now. “Eventually I want to go into allied health overseas and Kayla and I have always talked about collaborating; she’s more interested in the politics side and I’d do the health side so that could be cool.”

Musicians invited to orchestra meeting MUSICIANS interested in becoming part of a new regional orchestra being formed in Wangaratta will be meeting in the King George V Gardens on Sunday at 2.30pm. A newly formed committee, involving local violinist Sally Ross, will be in attendance and the group welcomes other potential members to come along, particularly seeking violin and flute players, a percussionist and a conductor.

Dragons teams brave the wet

By KYLIE SAMSON

IT was a wet weekend of hockey for many players but that didn’t stand in the way of some great results. Women’s Division 3 The ladies team had a hard slog against the Wombats. The teams always have a good run against each other and the game was played in good spirits. Our defenders kept the team in the game today with some great work by all, our goalie Turtle stopped a few shots and even Saxy thought she could be a goalie at one stage. Our strikers had to work hard and we were fortunate to get our goals in from some really hard work in the circle. The history books will read 2-0, it doesn’t matter how they came about. Thanks to support from a couple of our juniors who offered to hang around, we did suffer a couple of injuries and fatigue, so we were able to give them a run on.

We think it’s great to have juniors on the field when we are able to run them, hopefully they will have a taste for playing in the seniors and continue playing. Great effort all round. Men’s Division 3 The men’s team played a sensational game despite being undermanned with Andrew Groves and Tim Longman scoring. Tom Ambrose and Sam Couche were strong down back directing play and finding space to get the ball to our forwards. A well deserved 2-1 win. Under 12 girls A very wet pitch greeted our girls who were playing against the Falcons. With a few girls away they had to work hard to cover the pitch, a great effort by all of them. Player of the week, Adara Ryan had a great game with good support from the forwards. The trio of Kiana Lane, Ellie Samson and Olive Murphy combined to see Ellie put the ball into the goal.

ONE ON ONE: Greta Le tries to get past her opponent. The whole team lifted with this and seemed to hit another gear. Greta Le was fabulous in defence, a tricky position with the strong Falcons pushing through a number of times. The girls all had a great time, the rain didn’t stop them having fun with their teammates. Under 12 boys The rain hung around for the boys, making the ball very slow. Edward and Jake saw a lot of the ball, with Harvey and James also sending the water spraying.

Rory Gibb was a demon coming out of the goals in the short corners, the Falcons had to work hard to get the ball past him. Under 17 boys The U17 boys travelled to a chilly and wet Wodonga on Friday night to take on Wodonga. The first half was very even with both teams attacking at will, yet being repelled by strong defensive efforts. It was in the third quarter when Wodonga were able to score two goals from penalty corners. However, the Wangaratta boys kept fighting and were

able to pull off a great team goal that started in the defence by Sam Couche, then helped up the field with a quality touch from Alex Ellem onto Ollie Chambers who scampered into open space along the sideline towards the goal. This ended with a quality pass across the goal circle to Henry Findlay to put the ball past the goalie. The boys came off at the fourth quarter break with a spring of confidence. Again the fourth quarter was very back and forth, with Wangaratta able to score an outstanding individual goal to Ollie Chambers, equalising the score. It wasn’t over as Wodonga earned themselves a penalty corner in the last few seconds of the game. Hunter Kerr put himself in the firing line as the first runner, copping a ball to the shin pads to defuse the first penalty corner. Unfazed he did exactly the same again, this time he wore a ball to the foot. On the third attempt, af-

ter full time, Wodonga were able to get a clearer shot on goal only to be denied by Jack Weir wearing the goalie pads. The game finished with a 2-all draw. Under 17 girls Travelling to Wodonga Friday night, the girls were up against the very strong Wodonga team. The game began with a downpour, the girls were unfazed and looking forward to a good game. Wodonga came out strongly, Amelie Griffin was well able to defend her goal. Kaylee was able to get the ball into our attacking half, well backed up by Ellie Samson and Chloe Collins. The defence were tenacious, however, the attack from Wodonga was relentless with the Wangaratta girls kept scoreless. With a few girls missing from the team, Wangaratta were up against it, however, they all love their hockey and are looking forward to next Friday when they take on Wodonga again.

Devils make light work of Melrose

CATCH HIM: Dan Kelly gets away from his Melrose opponent.

STOKED: Adam Burchell celebrates an Ethan Whiley (number five) goal.

PHOTOS: Sam Sgarioto

WANGARATTA City has continued their goal scoring frenzy with a 4-1 win over Melrose at South Wangaratta Reserve on Sunday. After kicking 10 goals in their 10-3 win over Wodonga Diamonds last weekend, the Devils have now booted 14 in the space of two weeks to take their goal difference to 45 (second in the league). Adam Burchell got his side off to the perfect start converting a penalty in the sixth minute, while Connor Delaney (18th) took the lead to 2-0 in the blink of an eye. However, the purple army scored two minutes later to give some hope which then sent the game into a stalemate at 2-1 until the 88th minute when Ethan Whiley found the back of the net to put the result beyond doubt. Liam Nash then put the icing on the cake in the 91st. “The first half was a bit patchy but we did a couple of good things,” Wangaratta coach Daniel Vasilevski said. “The second half we picked it up a bit and managed to score a few goals but it was a pretty tough game. “They had a few young players in that were full of energy and they made us look a bit sluggish at times.” Melrose battled mass unavailabilities last weekend in their clash agains Albury Hotspurs and were still left

with many out on Sunday. “They were missing a lot of players the week before and I still think they were missing a few on Sunday,” Vasilevski said. “A lot of the players that played seniors against us were actually playing twos as well. “Considering that they did a pretty good job.” The Devils were forced to change their midfield once against with Kai Lyster and Xander Van Bergen both pulling out of Sunday’s match. “Once again we had to change our midfield around,” Vasilevski said. “Hopefully we can settle in there before finals because we’re going to have to do that if we’re going to push deep. “Because the players in there are changing so often they can be unsure of their role which makes things hard when the play starts with them.” Wangaratta City has just one game left for their season because they have the bye in the final round. A clash against the fifth placed Boomers at Glen Park on Saturday now awaits the Devils.

Second-half efforts save Wangaratta City ladies WANGARATTA’S reserve women’s side pulled out all the stops on Sunday, fighting back from 2-0 down to claim a draw against Melrose FC. The Lady Devils were put on the back foot early after conceding two goals in the first 11 minutes of play, a lapse in drive which threatened to spell defeat. However, the side soon settled, coming into halftime trailing by two goals with an uphill battle ahead of them. “We started off a bit shaky - in the first half, nothing was working for us, our passes were off, our heads weren’t in the right mind space,” coach Georgia Mahoney said. “Heads were going down very quickly, and I was a bit doubtful that we were going to pull away with a win. “You can really see it when their heads start to drop and

it hasn’t even been that far into the game, so I was getting a bit worried when we started having passes going through our defence line girls were getting a bit fearful of that. “They all commented on it at half-time and we all made a change to that, so it was really positive to see that everyone was on the same page. “We knew what we had to do, and that’s exactly what we did.” A much-improved second term saw goals come from Sarah Morris (40’) in her first match playing on the wing, and an impressive solo effort from Bella Pasquali (60’) levelled the playing field. “Bella was doubting her

ability on coming forward and just going for it, and I said ‘be selfish, Bella, go for it’,” Mahoney said. “She took the ball from the defence in our end all the way to the end and she scored it - she definitely needed the confidence boost there. “The other one came from Sarah Morris, I put her on the wing and she never plays the wing. “I told her to go for it and just do it, and she went for it - a flick off the foot and it just rolled in, it was the perfect opportunity for her. “It’s really all we needed - a lot of our girls stood up, especially our new players for this year, they stood up in that game and definitely got my votes for best on, for sure.” The division two women currently sit at fourth on the ladder with two matches left to play before finals.

Junior netball finals approach JUNIOR netball is closing in on finals so Wangaratta Netball Association’s Cam Miller gave a run down on how the rest of the season could pan out. PREMIER A The top three positions are all decided (Rovers Brown, Saints Black and Magpies Black), so all eyes will be on Magpies White and Magpies Pink for the final spot in the top four. Magpies White currently holds fourth place but only by percentage over Pink, and both teams have tough games against top three teams. Rovers Brown will be looking to complete an undefeated regular season to go along with the minor premiership. PREMIER B The top three teams in the Premier B division are locked into their current position with Rovers Pink, Rovers Navy and Saints Red holding first to third respectively. But Rovers Yellow and Milawa Red have plenty to play for as they try to grab a chance at finals. Rovers Yellow is in the box

seat with a half game lead over Milawa, and their last game is against the second placed Rovers Navy. Milawa Red will have to work hard to fight their way into finals, requiring a win against the minor premiers Rovers Pink, and a loss from Rovers Yellow. SECTION 1 Only half a game separates the top three teams in Section 1, which means the clash between the top two teams - Greta Development and Rovers Orange - will play with a major part in shaping the top four. Greta Development will finish top with a win, while Rovers Orange could get the number one spot if they win and maintain their percentage advantage over Milawa Blue. Milawa Blue is still a chance to finish at the top of the pile with a big win over Tarrawingee, coupled with a narrow win from Rovers Orange. Yarra Sevens will head into the finals in fourth. SECTION 2 Moyhu Development and Swifts have locked in third

Dynamite has a one game lead over The Rockets at the top of the table and can hold on to the number one position over the Swifts. The Rockets could still pinch top spot with a big win over Moyhu Development, along with a Dynamite loss. SECTION 3 The top three teams of Section 3 have plenty to play for this week, as only the fourth placed Doves have confirmed their final position leading into finals. Whorouly Cubs sit on top,

and can stay there with a win against third placed Wang Stars. But the Netburners will be hoping for an upset Cubs loss, as they play the fifth placed Alpha Wolves, and could pinch the ladder lead if they can also make up a small bit of percentage. Wang Stars could still jump to second with a win over the Cubs along with a Netburners loss. SECTION 4 The top four teams of Section 4 are already decided with the Firebirds taking out the minor premiership. Wolf Pack will stay in

fourth place regardless of other results. Only half a game separates Renegades in second from the third placed Milawa Saints, as they play each other to decide where they finish. A win from the Renegades will lock them into second position, but if the Saints can win or draw, they will leapfrog the Renegades and head into finals full of confidence for the rematch the following week.

Hawks miss their chance, Wangaratta simply too good By WILLSON MACK WANGARATTA Rovers netballers missed a golden opportunity to grab their second win of the season on Saturday afternoon at WJ Findlay Oval. The Hawks came up against the last placed Wodonga, a team they beat by 16 goals back in round six. It was the Bulldogs who would flip the script though, coming out firing to lead the Hawks by five goals at the first break. Wangaratta Rovers got the margin back to three at the main break but ultimately a 14goal to eight third term in favour of the Bulldogs would set the away side up for a 4532 victory and their first win of the year.

It was Ella Dickins who did the damage for Wodonga, while Briony Simpson was excellent for the Hawks despite the loss. Meanwhile, Wangaratta grabbed a massive 24-goal win over Myrtleford at McNamara Reserve. The Magpies went into the clash as heavy favourites against the eighth placed Saints and they well and truly lived up to expectations. Georgia Clark was unstoppable under the ring, netting 35 goals, while Katie Dean and Hannah Grady were a brick wall in defence, restricting Myrtleford stalwart Rebecca Piazza to 13 goals. Saige Broz was named the Saints best, while Tina Way was also prominent.

The Bulldogs were never blown away, maintaining solid goal shooting and producing a small comeback in the final term, closing the gap from five goals down at three-quarter time to the two-goal final margin Elsewhere, Whorouly locked in their finals ticket with a 49-31 win over Moyhu, Goorambat moved into second on the ladder with a six-goal win over Bonnie Doon, and Bright pulled off their third win of the season with a 42-28 smashing of North Wangaratta.

Treble for local trainers to kick off new season

Olivia stars in the pool

By WILLSON MACK

IT was a treble of winners for Wangaratta trainers to kick off the 2022/23 racing season at their home meeting on Monday afternoon. After rain caused last Friday’s Wangaratta races to be moved to Monday, the turf club put on an eight-race card with local horseman Dan McCarthy, Ben Brisbourne and Andrew Dale all securing winners throughout the day. It was a track for the workhorses, rated a heavy 10 for the entirety of the day after 56mm of rain fell the week prior. McCarthy’s Xtrayya ($12) burst onto the scene, winning his first career start in race three, while Brisbourne’s Elveena ($2.35) took out the sixth by 4.5 lengths and Dale’s Stonefield ($3.70) grabbed a massive five length win in the final race of the day. Wangaratta Turf Club chief executive officer Sean Barrett was pleased the club was still able to run their race day. “It wasn’t ideal having Friday’s meet moved to Monday, but it was a good outcome in the end,” Barrett said. “It was a good outcome for local trainers and owners that the races were still held. “We’re blessed to have a fantas-

WANGARATTA Amateur Swimming Club member Olivia Miller has just completed an incredibly successful weekend of competition at the Victorian State Age Short Course Swimming Championships in Melbourne, where she medalled in all five of her events. Over the three day state competition, Olivia competed in five multi-class events, achieved four personal best times, and won bronze medals in all five races - the 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 100m backstroke, 100m breaststroke, and the 200m freestyle, where she smashed her personal best time by more than 14 seconds. Proud coach Debbie Hogg was at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) to support Olivia, whose commitment, focus and hard work has seen her consistently improve her performance and state ranking this season. There’s no time to rest for Olivia as she returns to MSAC this weekend for the Victorian Open Championships.

Hawks to host preliminary final WANGARATTA Rovers’ open women’s side will contest its first home final this weekend, after defeating Murray Felines in Sunday’s elimination final. In a game played with 15-a-side due to several absences for the Felines, the first few minutes of the match at the Lavington Sports Ground were a little scrappy. However, about seven minutes into the quarter, Mikaela Threthowan opened the goal-scoring tally with the first major of the day. There were plenty of forward entries for the Hawks, and the back line held up well, with Kate Burns, Ally Ballard, Jacinta Findlay, Megan Quick and Crystal Stevens denying the Felines any shots on goal. The second goal for the game came through a great knockout from Jess Whitehead, who was able to get the ball out of the pack to a swooping Amy Hopkins, who kicked truly. All players contributed to the first quarter effort, and the score at quarter time was 2.0 (12) to one point.

KICKING GOALS: Mikaela Trethowan kicked two goals in the Hawks’ elimination final victory. The second term started much the same as the first, with the ball held in the middle of the ground for long periods of play. Emma Gosbell was brilliant in the middle, winning the clearance on many occasions. Jo Maples moved into the forward line in the second quarter, and made an immediate impact after taking a strong mark just inside the 50 and then scoring the Rov-

ers’ third goal for the game. Leanne Branson played a fantastic running game on the wing and put the ball to the advantage of Jess Maddy, who kicked long into the forward line. Bianca Mulqueen kicked a great goal after collecting the ball on the half forward flank and running in and scoring from close range. The Rovers really started to dominate in the second

part of the quarter, keeping the ball in the attacking half, and the score at half-time was 4.2 (26) to 0.1 (1). After half time, the Rovers came out keen to keep the momentum going and continue attacking. Mikaela Trethowan kicked her second goal of the game after picking the ball up when it was knocked out of a contest, running around her player and then kicking truly.

Jess Byrne was strong in the contest, laying tackle after tackle on her Felines opponent. The middle of the ground was well-controlled by Celia Piesse, who ran off her opposition player and repeatedly kicked the ball into the Rovers’ half forward line. At three quarter time, the Rovers went in with a 33 point lead, 5.4 (34) to 0.1 (1).

In the final term, the Rovers had plenty of forward entries. Jo Maples and Nikita Brown got away from their players and took good marks inside 50. The Felines had a couple of strong forward entries and kicked their first goal of the game. Despite their best efforts, the Rovers girls weren’t able to convert, and kicked four behinds for the quarter. Deb Plattfuss had a run in the ruck, Megan Quick fought hard in the forward line, and Ally Ballard attacked the ball hard and played a really physical game. The Rovers ran out the final quarter strongly and are excited for the preliminary final at Wangaratta’s WJ Findlay Oval against Lavington Panthers on Sunday. Final score: Wangaratta Rovers 5.8 (38) defeated Murray Felines 1.1 (7). Best: Ally Ballard, Bianca Mulqueen, Leanne Branson, Mikaela Trethowan, Emma Gosbell, Jo Maples. Goals: Mikaela Trethowan 2, Amy Hopkins, Jo Maples, Bianca Mulqueen.

Tough at the top Ladder leaders Greta and Milawa fight out draw, Bulldogs show form BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au

SATURDAY’S top of the table O&K A grade netball clash delivered on the hype, with the top two teams unable to be split with a 35-35 draw at Greta. The split result marks the first time this season the Blues have not won a match, as the Demons demonstrated their intentions from the first quarter, breaking out to a three goal lead by quarter time. The back-and-forth struggle continued, with both sides making the most of errors and defenders at both ends of the court kept the intensity to a high standard. “The game was so close throughout the day and every ball was hotly contested,” Milawa coach Stacey Lamb said. “We had a great start and maintained that intensity throughout the game. “I thought that our defence pressure throughout the whole court was great and we got so many tips and intercepts. “Micaela Larkings and Ellie Hourigan were so strong and consistent in the mid court for us.” Defensive efforts and strong midcourt flow put the Demons two goals up heading into the final quarter, but Greta proved they can never be counted out. “Greta are a great side and we know they come back at us and we just had the weather that storm,” Lamb said. “The momentum changed in the last quarter and Greta got four goals up at one stage. “I was so proud of the girls’ fight and composure. “They just chipped away and worked hard in defence to get some ball for us. “We were one goal down with a minute to go and Shani Rickard took this amazing intercept in the mid - she then went on to shoot the goal to draw the game. “They were undefeated and we matched it with them so I was pleased with the game and how we played consistent, strong netball. ■ Continued page 30

Singing for joy, not perfection

◆ JOYFUL GROUP: Sing Australia Wangaratta members love the social aspect as well as sharing a love of music. PHOTO: Belinda Harrison

By BELINDA HARRISON

THE birth of Sing Australia in Wangaratta came about when Sing Australia founder Colin Slater OAM attended a church service and Keith Martin heard him singing. After the service, Keith approached Colin, who was ‘scoping the area out’ to decide if he wanted to move here, and Colin told him about Sing Australia and how to form a local group. Keith took the knowledge along to the next Lions Club meeting and said ‘we need men, how about a few of you blokes come along?’ Keith Fleet, Doug Kneen, Fabian Burder,

Ron Stafford and Graeme Whitehead all decided to take up Keith’s offer. “I’m still there now - I’m a sucker for it - no, I do really enjoy it,” Keith (Fleet) said. The nucleus of the group was formed with seven original members in Keith Fleet, Ron Stafford, Marlene O’Keefe, Marion Nash, Carmel Ellis, Ann Jones, Janet Martin and Debbie Rosicka still attending. The ﬁrst get-together of Sing Australia Wangaratta took place in February 2009 at the Wangaratta High School with 20 people. “Singing has many advantages - it helps the body through breathing, helps the soul

and creates friendships,” Keith said. “We enjoy social gatherings and taking our music into the community when we sing on Australia Day, at nursing homes or for the Carols. “We busk in Reid Street and have the opportunity to get together with other Sing Australia groups from around the country. “I always say that if you can talk, you can sing, and other members can cover you up,” Keith laughed. “There are very few people who can’t sing,” former member, Doug Kneen, added. “It’s not about perfect pitch and perfect

quality, it’s about those other things too - the friendships and social aspects. “Over the years, a number of people have joined who have been recently bereaved or who have gone through a separation or divorce and they have used the group as a social re-awakening. “They may not stay, but they come along for a while, sing and start to feel better so it’s a good therapy for people as well. “It’s fun if you like singing, but there are so many other aspects and beneﬁts to it as well.”

Making vet visits ‘fear-free’ IT’S an all-too-common story - the trembling dog in the waiting room or the hiding, hissing cat in the carry cage, the dog that fears thunder and fireworks, or the dog who thinks men in hats are out to get him. Although natural, fear can cause a lot of distress to our companion animals and should be taken seriously fear of objects, people or places can lead to potential fear aggression. There are many ways we can help prevent fear during our veterinary visits, the most important being exposure at an early age. Animals are most impressionable during their first three weeks to three months of age. During this time, they are eager to learn about their surroundings and make associations between interactions and outcomes. This means, for us to make the biggest influence on their behaviour and fear level as an adult we must expose them in a positive way as a pup. We can do this by making these early visits to the vets as fun as possible with plenty of treats and toys to try and relax them and build that positive association.

with Wangaratta Veterinary Hospital Puppies and kittens should be exposed to all scenarios and many different people to allow them to realise that these situations are safe. This exposure should never be forced and should only be positive. For the fearful adult pet who has already built negative associations with a particular situation, there are things we can do to help. Fear-free veterinary visits are something that many clinics offer. This involves no forced handling of animals and instead uses their favourite treats and toys to retrain them into enjoying a procedure they previously hated. This counter-conditioning (retraining) will take time but the results are very rewarding and can change the way your pet thinks about their veterinary visits making life happier for the owner and pet and safer for those handling a fearful animal. Please contact your clinic if you have any questions about fear free visits.

with Naturopath Sophie Lorback (BHSCI. NATUROPATHY) ◆ NO WASTE: There are many options if you have excess citrus fruit.

What to do with excess citrus ANY good food gardener will know how to utilise excess produce and this is the season of citrus. It has arrived in abundance over the last few months, and everyone seems to be getting rid of lemons, oranges and limes. There are little bags and baskets and buckets of lemons and limes sitting on the front fences of many homes on our walk to school. Our clinic has also become a lovely drop off point for client’s excess fruits. As such we have been using the fruits and peel in lots of interesting ways this winter. Traditionally, any excess produce was preserved to minimise waste and optimise food sources. At our clinic, we have been experimenting and cooking up some traditional citrus recipes to create cleaning products and edible items from the vitamin C rich fruit, bioflavonoid rich pith, zest and peel. Save the zest: Thinly peel or grate the peel avoiding the bitter white pith; Use zest fresh or dry for later use; Zest can be air dried on a baking tray in the sun or a brown paper bag hung up near a heater; Store dried zest in an airtight jar; Use in any recipe asking for zest or in a DIY bathroom cleaner.

Dry the peels: After peeling an orange or lemon keep the peel and dry them via ‘zest methods’ or in a low oven or dehydrator; Store in a jar - these can be used to make a citrus peel chai, to add to cakes, making bath and body products, steeped for two weeks in vinegar to create citrus peel cleaner, or used as firelighters. Freeze the juice: Can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer in ice cube trays or icy pole holders, ready for summer. Preserve the fruit: So you can eat it all year round by making marmalade, preserved lemons for curries or making a DIY orange extract. Dehydrate slices: Dry the thinly sliced citrus in a low oven or dehydrator and once completely dry store in a jar. You can rehydrate sliced fruit to use in recipes or use dried in chai, baking, homemade potpourri, a garland decoration above a window or grind to make your own vitamin C powder, which can be mixed in hot water and drunk when feeling run down.

YOUR HEALTH Cofield Wines 2021 Shiraz Pinot Noir

WHEN you take an interest in cooking - whether tackling it yourself, dining out or watching it on the telly - you become familiar with the concept of a “mirepoix”. It’s the fancy French term for an aromatic mix of finely chopped onion, carrot and celery, usually fried in butter, which is the base for so many stews, casseroles and soups. Just about every culture has such a base, like a Spanish “sofrito” of tomatoes, capsicum and garlic or a Cajun “holy trinity” of onion, celery and green capsicum, from which every good dish is built. Tried and tested for hundreds of years the chefs of old know what works - there’s no need for magic ticks - just a solid base of good quality ingredients that combine to create great flavour. It comes to mind when tasting Cofield’s Shiraz Pinot Noir. It’s a combination of Rutherglen Shiraz and King Valley Pinot Noir, the fruit having ripened slowly in a year when conditions were relatively cool. It has a deep purple red colour with a vibrant magenta halo that appears around the glass. There are vibrant, fruity aromas of fresh berry, ripe plum and pep-

It’s worth taking a little time to savour as the texture softens and the flavours radiate. Try with red meats or perhaps duck - the wine’s fruitiness complementing the sweet meat. It takes a bit of skill to get a balance just right, but when you do, you can’t go wrong. About $20.

This Day in History, 1867 A GRAIN stripper was created by Mr Firth of Oxley, and other district farmers gathered to see it demonstrated on August 10, 1867. In the days when grain crops had to be either reaped by hand and raked up into bundles, or cut with a mechanical reaper and binder, then threshed at some later date, every farmer with an inventive streak was trying to design a machine which would perform the cutting of the crop, and the threshing of grain all in the one operation. Mr Firth‘s machine was made to his own design by the Straughair and Duncan Foundry in Beechworth and the farmers were most impressed when they saw it in action.

◆ NEW EXPERIENCE: Eating without seeing the food gives your tastebuds a brand new experience. PHOTO: C/-secretmelbourne.com/

Eating with our senses

WE have five senses and our sense of taste is what we use for eating, right? Well, not quite. The Indians and many other races eat with their hands so touch and feeling the food is important. There is very good science to promote that it is actually very beneficial for the food (and the gut microbiome) to start interacting with the fingers. Without our sense of smell, our taste of food will be compromised if existent at all. How many of you are like me get so ravenously hungry and excited when a favourite dish is being cooked and the spices waft through the room? Hearing? Umm not sure how much this is involved except for when a sizzling hot plate comes out. Recently, I experienced how much I use sight to enjoy and eat my food. I use it a lot because I am lucky enough to have sight and really enjoy the look of food. However, what if sight is not there? What if you’re blind? What if you’ve never seen a prawn, or a mango - would that diminish your enjoyment of it? Oh no - the other senses definitely kick in! Maybe we don’t use our sense of hearing very much in our eating but it is such an important part of social eating - great

conversation always makes a meal taste better. Recently I went out for dinner with some friends at Dining in the Dark where all the waiters are legally blind. The entire restaurant is pitch black - you can’t even see your finger in front of your nose. You aren’t told what you will be eating so it is a total surprise and a great way to use the other senses to guess what the food is. Each time our waiter came to give us some food he would tap us on the shoulder and reach over to place it down. We had four courses and each course had a board with small plates embedded in it - there was so much to try and guess what it was. I tried to eat with my knife and fork but in the end I didn’t want to miss any so I used my hands too - no one could see me. It was a truly incredible experience and really made me appreciate my sight but also how much I really love the look of food and I definitely pick food by how it looks, how fresh it is, how it is served. At Dining in the Dark I learnt that I could have an incredible meal without seeing it at all. In fact, I might try to eat blind folded more often to enhance the other senses. Give it a try.

Singing for joy, not perfection ■

From page 1

Being part of a larger organisation offers the opportunity to meet other groups at the annual national gathering or to travel overseas. “Members of our group have toured England, Ireland and Scotland and in 2010 and 2011, some of our members were in the choir who sung at the dawn service at Gallipoli and at Lone Pine. “With only a few days’ notice, we had to learn the Turkish National Anthem for the service and we had to practise and practise before we ﬁnally got the nod from our guide who was checking we were pronouncing everything right.” “When we were at Lone Pine in 2010, we met (then) GovernorGeneral Quentin Bryce,” Doug added. “When I was there in 2011, Warren Snowdon, (then) Minister of Veterans’ Affairs, heard that a choir from Australia was there and he came up to my wife Dawn and me and asked us where we were from. “When we told him Wangaratta, he said he was too - he’s related to Doc Snowdon and he asked after an old friend that we knew as well.” “The trips overseas were sponsored by the Australian Government and they arranged everything,” Doug said. “We spent three weeks in Turkey and sang in some absolutely fantastic places. “The only place we weren’t allowed to sing was in these 100 foot high limestone caves where people live. “There was one section that had been carved out as a church

and the echoes were great so we said, we just have to sing in here. “We got about three words out before a guard came and chucked us out - they didn’t want the echoes to destroy the stone,” Doug laughed. Songs are prepared from songbooks provided by Sing Australia and practices take place under conductor Sarah-Ann HolmesBrown and pianist Doug McGregor. Sarah has always had an interest in music and choirs and completed a Bachelor of Arts with a major in music. “When I moved back to Wangaratta, my mum dragged me along to Sing Australia and when they lost their conductor, Keith gave me a ring and asked if I would come and conduct - I have been in the role for seven years now and I love it,” Sarah said. Doug McGregor has played in many community bands including jazz, dance, brass and concert bands alongside a 30 year music teaching career. “I have been playing piano for Sing Australia for around 10 years because I am able to share the wonderful thing called ‘music’ with them,” he said. “They sing enthusiastically from the ﬁrst song of the evening to the last, which I ﬁnd inspiring.” “I love that I’ve spent seven years working with such an experienced bandmaster,” Sarah said. “I’ve been able to grow my musical knowledge in terms of how to teach people about music which is thanks to Doug. “I’ve arranged pieces for performances by the Wangaratta

Concert Band and Sing Australia. “The repertoire is quite large and covers lots of different genres so there really is something for everyone. “There’s no pressure on you being the world’s best soprano or tenor or bass, you can just come and sing for the pure joy of singing. Sing Australia meets at Purbrick Hall at the Cathedral in Docker Street each Wednesday evening from 7.30pm until 9pm. “Singing starts at 7.30pm, but people are often there from 7pm for a chinwag,” Keith said. “We have plenty of room for new members, so contact myself, Marlene or Cheryl or just turn up on the night - you’ll be warmly welcomed.” For more information call Marlene 0417 454 126, Cheryl 0419 005 062 or Keith 0491 114 480.

◆ COLD DAYS: Mt Buffalo has seen some excellent icicles thanks to the rain freezing again over the past week. PHOTO: C/- Mt Buffalo

Rain melted snow causing icy conditions FOLLOWING the storms and rain late last week, snow coverage has fallen from previous weeks. At Dinner Plain, Cobungra Platter Poma was closed to allow the slope to drain and recover - rain soaked snow has the potential to become a hazardous ice sheet when the temperature lowers. The depth of the Cobungra slope is variable in areas of between 8cm and 15cm with more snow in the middle. Cross Country trails are soft and thin and patchy in places and the bottom end of the Guide Alice trail has not been groomed due to cover. FALLS Creek has an average snow depth of 98cm with icy patches on the road from Mount Beauty so take care. They have nine lifts open with skiing, snowboarding and snowplay only available at the moment. Cross Country skiing is available with conditions ranging from patchy to excellent across their 32 trails. Mt Hotham is reporting an average of 95cm across the mountain and have 11 lifts running.

There are 69 trails open, with all 16 cross country trails open with very good cover. All Terrain Parks are currently closed. Mt Buffalo is reporting patchy snow overall with Dingo Dell and Cresta Valley toboggan slopes closed, however Cresta Valley is open for snow play. Dingo Dell Café is open for food and beverage and the ski shop is also open. Sentinel and Cresta have good conditions for snowshoeing. For cross country skiers, Beginners Loop, Bogong Plain and Horn Road trails are open, however they have a poor coverage of snow and large areas without any coverage at all. Chains are required to be carried for all resorts and ﬁtted where instructed.

Spinning a tornado yarn FOLLOWING on from previous articles on severe weather, today we will focus on tornadoes. When we talk about tornadoes, we think about America and the devastation they cause. However, tornadoes actually occur in Australia more frequently than people think and are ferocious enough to destroy homes and property. So what causes a tornado? A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the surface of the earth. This mobile, funnel-shaped cloud typically advances beneath a large storm system. Tornadoes are visible because nearly all the time they are a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust, dirt and debris. While a tornado may go by many names like “whirlwind,” “windstorm,” “cyclone,” “twister” or “typhoon,” they are important to understand because they are the most violent atmospheric storm. A perfect example of the devastation a tornado can cause in our area speciﬁcally, is the one that completely destroyed the caravan park in Mulwala and caused havoc in surrounding areas in March 2013. Mulwala and Yarrawonga residents described the sight ‘like a bomb going off ’ and could not believe what they were seeing. Many did not realise that tornadoes even existed in Australia, as they are usually labelled as a strong downdraft or microburst. Unfortunately, there is nothing ‘micro’ about a tornado

when they touch down, regardless of whether they are short lived or remain on the ground for up to an hour or more. The risk of a tornado increases when a warm, moist and unstable airflow is pulled in from the Pacific Ocean and the Coral Sea, gets dragged into the region and collides with an approaching cold front. This weather pattern is very common during storm season and the risk of a tornado is more likely at the rear of a thunderstorm where warm and cool air collides. This can potentially create a column of air, giving birth to a tornado. I have been a professional stormchaser for 25 years and witnessed firsthand a tornado that developed during storm season just out of Springhurst earlier this year. It formed very quickly and sounded like a freight train that was not prepared to stop in a hurry. I was fairly close to the tornado but it was moving away from my location and travelling at a speed greater than 50kph. It slammed into a shed and threw debris all over the paddock and high into the air. That was my first encounter with a tornado and the experience was very surreal. It could have been more dangerous for me personally, and proves that tornados move faster than anyone can run and they are unpredictable. Remember if you are outdoors and encounter a tornado, find shelter by using your car or a structure. This will give the best protection possible to ensure your safety from strong winds and potential debris.
