Goulburn Valley TREE GROUP

Steve Barnard Receiving an Award

VALE – STEVE BARNARD About ten years ago, Steve having recently retired from full time employment, came to the museum enquiring whether he could volunteer some time to assist and give a hand in any way. We are all volunteers and he was warmly welcomed.

After a quiet beginning which matched his quiet nature, and in which time he learned much about how the museum operated, he began to accept more responsibility. Some examples of this were – taking turns to open the museum and welcome visitors, being prepared to speak to visiting groups, writing informative articles for the local papers highlighting the latest developments - no doubt many of you have enjoyed reading some of these contributions. He also attending meetings representing the Historical Society, at Tatura, Shepparton and even Melbourne.

Several years ago, Steve was elected President of the Society. Also, about this time, the City of Greater Shepparton which owns the museum building began to look favourably at our requests to build extensions. Steve found himself in the unenviable position of conducting careful negotiations with Council in order to keep the project moving forward and keep Council on side. He did this remarkably well and work is progressing well. Very sadly, in January this year, Steve’s health began to fail as the building began to take shape. He retained a keen interest right to the end, being taken by wheelchair, at his request, to see the progress just a couple of weeks prior to his passing.

A celebration of Steve’s life was held on April 8, the 72nd anniversary of his birth, - April 8, 1947 in the Jersey Islands UK. The Tatura and District Historical Society would like to acknowledge that Steve was a much-valued member who will be greatly missed.

Happy indeed will be those who either planted their seedling trees either just before or after the rain. Their root systems will be setting up the plant’s ability to cope with whatever future weather patterns bring and in the meantime their foliage is flourishing and a pleasure to look at. It is still not too late to put more trees in although the ground will be getting cold but it will still have plenty of moisture.

After that little homily, my tree for the month is Melaleuca Gibbosa, or more generally, Slender Honey Myrtle. Rather than being a tree it is a medium sized shrub growing to two metres.

This makes it suitable for many uses. Including the garden. The mauve/pink/white flowers with spectacular stamens are borne ten to a stem in spring and summer, and importantly, attractive to both birds and insects. They need well drained but moist conditions so I wouldn’t be putting them in Goulburn Loam but would be looking for a lighter soil which needs a bit of water. A light prune now and then is beneficial.

Instead of putting all your waste containers in the bin we would appreciate you saving one to take your purchases from the nursery home in. Currently we are open on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 9.00 and 11.30 am.

THE 125th ANNIVERSARY TATURA FIRE BRIGADE

Winners Laurie Noonan and Terry Gale

INDOOR BOWLS – W J WILLIAMS SHIELD Tatura Bowls Club's Indoor Carpet Bowls founder is recognised with the annual tournament play between members in a memorial shield competition that commenced in 1979. W J (Jack) Williams recognised a passion ten years earlier in 1969 to establish indoor carpet bowls in the area. He undertook to obtain the necessary equipment and began tutoring potential indoor carpet bowlers. From that early beginning, carpet bowls became a popular winter sport to be played indoors.

Williams, in forming the Tatura Indoor Bowls Club, became the club's inaugural president.

The Indoor Bowls section also became the catalyst in establishing a competition between neighbouring towns and thus created the formation of the Goulburn Valley Indoor Bowls Association.

A handy bowler himself, he went onto become president for the first four years of the club's existence and also the first club champion. In the 1970's and 80's the sport had become very popular and many outdoor lawn bowlers took up the challenge of indoor carpet bowls during the winter months. Regular tournaments and gala days saw participation of such large numbers that, by necessity, use was made of the Tatura Guide Hall and the Tatura Primary school for the laying down of extra mats.

The W J Williams Memorial Shield was

established in 1979 to recognise the significant contribution of its founder and was originally played in a four-member team capacity but gradually and sadly with a decline in indoor carpet bowls participation has reduced to a three-person and now to a pairs competition between club members. The times of there being twenty odd towns and organisations with multiple teams in 3 divisions throughout the Goulburn Valley Indoor Bias Bowls section has passed. The Association is now struggling with just four clubs and nine sides in the whole association.

However, the competition for the W J Williams Memorial Shield as still a keenly fought out competition for Tatura bowling members and this year the event, played in a round robin format, was taken out by Terry Gale and Laurie Noonan. Terry chalked up his first win in this event and Laurie his fourth time. Noonan has had a lengthy indoor bowls career spanning some thirty plus years. GVIBBA President for sixteen years, Vice President six years and an umpire for fifteen years, Laurie was recognised at an Association level with Life Membership in 2003 and further recognised in 2015 with the Goulburn Valley Indoor Bias Bowls Association's Champion of Champions Shield named in his honour.

1971 was a busy year for the Tatura brigade.

Not only did we begin construction of our current fire station but we also completed a new competition track. Which was used in January 1972 to host the G.V.F.B.A Annual Demonstration. We also started the construction of the current Fire Station on the Casey Street site with the official opening being held in 1972. Kevin Lucas and Geoff Wright played integral roles in the design of the present station with the help other Brigade members By 1993 we again begin work on a new track and training facility. This time in co-operation with the Rodney Shire and G.V Racing Club and by 1994 we are up and running and ready for another G.V.F.B.A Annual Demonstration.

Which was held in conduction with our centenary celebrations.

1994 we also saw the printing of ‘Rungs In The Ladder’ by Ron Michael. This book is a centenary history of the Tatura Urban Fire Brigade. It reflects over 1894-1994 and the achievements of the Tatura Brigade, Ladies Auxiliary and the Running team. If anyone is interested in learning more about the history of the Tatura Brigade these books are available for purchase via the brigade.

The Tatura Fire Brigade, in the conjunction with the Tatura Community House, would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to attend a Fire Safety Session. It will be held on August 13 at 10.30am at the Tatura Community House. This session will be presented by someone from our District 22 office and will cover things like smoke alarm recommendations, heater safety and other fire safety in the home topics.

THE END OF AN ERA

thinks it sad that radiators are just a throwaway commodity nowadays when they used to recore them and do a good quality repair.

Rob also wishes to give particular thanks to Susan Parry, who has been doing his office work for nearly ten years. Having her there left him free to do more work out in the workshop. Not having to worry about the book work has been a huge removal of stress for him and he is well aware that stress kills a person. Rob's father, who they call ‘Old Rob’, at 88 years of age is still acting as a gopher, doing a few pickups and deliveries, and naturally more thanks go to Dave, as Rob says it has been good to work like a family business. Dave worked at the cannery for fifteen years along with a short stint at farming, before joining Rob. He hasn't decided what to do in the future and is just looking Rob and Dave forward to a decent holiday first. him for 21 years. He said Dave has always It is with great sorrow that Tatura says Rob says he has had a good run, with the done a good job and added it can be hard to goodbye to Rob's Radiator and Windscreen majority of Tatura people being very loyal. as Rob Crawford closes his doors after 36 work with family and friends but for them it The community and farmers have been years of business in our town.

2019 VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARDS The winners of the 2019 Greater Shepparton Volunteer Recognition Awards were announced recently at an awards ceremony held at Eastbank. Now in their 10th year, the volunteer awards recognise the contribution made to the Greater Shepparton community by hardworking volunteers.

Volunteers could be nominated under six categories; volunteer team, male volunteer, female volunteer, youth volunteer (for people aged between 12 and 25), rural volunteer (for towns with under 5,000 residents) and long serving volunteer.

Council Mayor Kim O’Keeffe congratulated all the deserving winners and thanked them for their service. “The National Volunteer Week theme in 2019 is ‘Give a little, Change a lot’,” Cr O’Keeffe said. “The volunteers we recognised at the ceremony often give more than just ‘a little’, but the national theme highlights just how easy

it can be to make a difference. Council received an extremely high standard of nominations this year, so thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate a volunteer. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated for an award, as well as all the winners. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.”

Male Volunteer of the Year: Dhami Singh Dhami takes a role in educating and widening awareness of the multicultural spectrum, while promoting what it can offer to our local community. Dhami was co-founder for the active group ‘Picnic for Peace’, co-founder of the Nepal Earthquake Committee and hosts Cultural Bus Tours on behalf of the Sikh Temple. He is a committed member of the St Georges Road Planning Committee, Horses for Hope, Christmas for Those Alone, Auskick and All Abilities Cricket.

He has strong values and is willing to share his culture. He is enthusiastic and friendly, helping change the opinions of community members who have preconceived ideas of the police force.

Rural Volunteer of the Year: Michelle Viney - Michelle consistently supports the young people of our community and not only positively impacts on them, but also enables police members to execute their duties in a

timely manner. Michelle often frees police officers up to attend other duties, helping keep the wider community safe. In her role as a Youth Referral and Independent Person Program volunteer, Michelle supports young people through police interviews when a parent or guardian cannot attend, making sure she is available on a 24-hour call out roster.

Volunteer Team of the Year: Brian and Carol Merrett - Brian and Carol are a husband and wife team that make up an integral part of the Shepparton Foodshare volunteer team. The community-minded couple have volunteered more than 5000 hours to ensure Foodshare can continue to operate efficiently and effectively and can provide nutritious food for local people in need.

Long Serving Volunteer of the Year: Stan Jezewski and Lorna Chandler - Lorna has been volunteering her time and skills to the Peter McCallum Cancer Service and GV Health in Shepparton. She uses her creative skills and expertise to create personal hygiene, comfort patient packs and hand knitted clothing for babies and children. She has spent significant time visiting patients in hospitals, while observing and identifying patients looking for additional personal items that may not be available at time of hospital admission.

Stan helped found the Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad in 1972, alongside his brother Eddie and four other men. Stan has been an active member during the 47 years and has never taken more than two weeks here or there for a holiday with family. Stan continues to give in many ways. He is a volunteer 24/7, on call day and night, for our community and a mentor for our young people, attending regular training sessions and meetings for and on behalf of the squad has made Stan the epitome of a long serving, dedicated volunteer.

At our monthly meeting it was announced the Mother's Day Raffle raised the grand total of $1,308.00, a terrific amount towards more purchasing of beds for our local hospital. A representative from the facility informed us that they are currently choosing colours for new blinds and floor coverings before booking tradespeople and are arranging to have two rooms refurbished at a time, with the residents being moved in to a spare room while theirs is being updated. They are also discussing the possibility of adding a sail outside the palliative care room. The new Aged Care Standards are causing a lot of extra work for staff at the moment but they always do well where ever needed.

Don't forget to mark the date of our AGM in your diary – Thursday, July 25.

Paul Hussey and Freda Clement

TATURA BOWLS CLUB Distinguished service of over twenty years to the Tatura Bowls Club has seen club members Freda Clement and Paul Hussey voted in at the Annual General Meeting with Life Member awards. Both Freda and Paul have had an extensive service record from the moment they first joined the club in the mid to late 1990’s.

Both were long term members of various committees taking on executive positions and involved in many aspects around the club. Both always willing to chip in and do their bit plus a bit more. The criteria under the Tatura Bowls Constitution recognises that distinguished service rendered to the club, may with a 75% member approval, allow the awarding of Life Membership. These two members qualified, were endorsed by the members present and were congratulated by members at the AGM when announced by President Rod Kirby.

Tatura Bowls Club established in 1904 has not recognised many Life Members over their existence. We now have 21 in 115

years. This was mainly because the earliest constitution was restrictive by not allowing any new Life Member if there were currently five living Life Member’s on the honour board. This archaic rule was amended in the 1990’s and has thus enabled more of those members rendering distinguished service to the club being recognised. The criteria for awarding Life Membership is a contentious one with many clubs having varying rules.

For instance, the Richmond Football Club in many people’s opinion has lowered the value of their Life Membership award because recently they granted Life Membership to any footballer who played in a winning Grand Final in the VFL/AFL. One player awarded Life Membership in their 2017 Premiership win has played just five games of football for the club. Tatura Bowls Club however regards the prestigious award of Life Membership of the club as a deserving reward for significant service to the club.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT WORK

A Line Up of the Models

A LOVELY FASHION PARADE The Murchison Pre-loved Shop held a fashion parade at the DP Jones Aged Care Facility earlier this month. Jane Boswell was MC at this free event and dressed for the part with both a skirt and cape made from Op Shop ties and a hat she picked up at ConFest. The models were a mixture of residents and staff, with there being a very festive atmosphere throughout the afternoon. Sue and Liz from the

Pre-Loved Shop were motivated by wanting to promote the variety of different clothing sold and to have a bit of fun. They had held a similar event previously and decided the change of season would be a good time to repeat the experience. The Nursing Home supplied a scrumptious afternoon tea, including scones, to the large crowd in attendance.

Just over two years ago, the Tatura and District Historical Society was able to assist South Australian author Liz Harfull with some local historical content for her latest book. Believing we had a copy of a cookery book produced by the All Saints Anglican Guild ladies over one hundred years ago, Liz set our researchers to work locating it. Yes, the Museum did have a first edition copy. With assistance from guild member Pauline Parks, some useful research was passed on and cross checked until her book’s content was settled. Liz has once again turned her work into a first-class item noticed by world judges. Our Museum staff delights in being able to assist anyone with local, family, or any other history relating to Tatura and district.

Meditating with the Prayer Wheels

TATURA PROBUS CLUB Tatura Probus club held their meeting on May 23. As we had missed our April meeting owing to Anzac Day, there was a bit of catching up to do. Members were very happy to see Joan Dillon back in action as she has been ill for a few months. Geoff entertained us with his roving mike asking different members about their pets, and there’s no doubt pets play an important part in our life and they are much loved. After our cuppa, Phyll Mactier gave us a wonderful talk and description of her trip to Sydney Harbour in December 2018. Her grandson Peter was one of the crew on Wings 70. Peter was the bowman who is the man up the front of the yacht. Before they started, I said to Peter you won’t have to go up the mast will you, but as you can guess, that’s exactly what he had to do.

Phyl and her family were on board her son Wayne’s yacht named Perisher Cove. All ten members slept on the yacht on New Year’s Eve ready for the 2019 Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

On Thursday, May 30, members had a visit to the Great Stupa in Bendigo.

It was a great insight into the Buddhist way of life and we had a lovely tour and talk with our friendly guide followed by a delicious lunch at the RSL and we recommend a visit.

Our next meeting will be on June 29. All welcome to come to meeting at the Community Centre at 10am .

DOMESTIC ANIMAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Greater Shepparton City Council adopted the Domestic Animal Management Plan – 2021 at the May Ordinary Council Meeting. Section 68A of the Domestic Animals Act 1994 requires every Victorian municipality to prepare a domestic animal management plan in four-year intervals. The plan guides the activities and priorities for Council’s animal control and animal shelter services and is a key document in ensuring the prioritisation of the welfare of the municipality’s domestic animals.

The plan also ensures that pet ownership behaviours allow the community to live in harmony with domestic pets.

Council Mayor Cr Kim O’Keeffe said the Domestic Animal Management Plan – 2021 included key information from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI).

“In 2014, Council received advice and feedback from DEPI that the 2013-2017 plan needed information on when activities will occur during the four-year plan, as well as evaluation measures for each activity,” Cr O’Keeffe said.

“To meet the requirements, we developed an action plan off a base template recommended by the Bureau of Animal Welfare and continued to update it into the present year. We are now using the same methodology for delivering the actions of the draft Domestic Animal Management Plan – 2021.”

The Domestic Animal Management Plan – 2021 can be found on Council’s website.

THE ORIGIN OF OLD SAYINGS

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush: It's better to have a small but certain advantage than the possibility of a greater one that may come to nothing.

English proverbs were often warnings about risk taking or insolent pride. This proverb refers back to medieval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was a valuable asset and certainly worth more than two in the bush (the prey).

The first example of this expression in print is found in John Ray's A Handbook of Proverbs, 1670, in which he lists it as: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. However, variants of it were known well before this. The earliest English version is from the Bible and was translated into English in Wycliffe's version in 1382: Ecclesiastes IX - A living dog is better than a dead lion. A much older Near Eastern origin is suggested by the 6th century BC Proverbs of Ahiqar: 'a sparrow in thy hand is better than a thousand sparrows flying.’

The Bird in Hand was adopted as a pub name in England in the Middle Ages and many of this name still survive.

Other languages and cultures have their own version of this proverb, notably the Czech proverb, ‘A sparrow in the fist is better than a pigeon on the roof.’

Baker’s Dozen: Thirteen or, more rarely, fourteen. It's widely believed that this phrase originated from the practice of medieval English bakers giving an extra loaf when selling a dozen in order to avoid being penalized for selling short weight. England has a long history of regulation of trade, and bakers were regulated by a trade guild called The Worshipful Company of Bakers, which dates back to the reign of Henry II (1154-89). The law that caused bakers to be so wary was the Assize of Bread and Ale. In 1266, Henry III revived an ancient statute that regulated the price of bread according to the price of wheat.

Bakers or brewers who gave short measure could be fined, pilloried or flogged.

The Assize regulated weight and not number so the bakers always added something extra whenever they sold bread in any quantity to make sure the total weight wasn’t short. The addition was called the 'in-bread' or 'vantage loaf'. Twelve loaves is simply a figure as bakers would have also been concerned about weight when they were selling eleven loaves and there is no baker’s eleven.

The New Resident

DHURRINGILE PRIMARY SCHOOL Dhurringile Primary School is very fortunate to have a boardwalk over a wetland as part of the school grounds. The wetland was formally the school ‘pony paddock’ from the days when the students rode ponies and horses to school. The wetland has a small woodland that has been planted out by the students over many years. The students have also constructed possum nesting boxes that are placed throughout the woodland. Studying the animals and bugs that are found in the wetland is a favourite activity of the Dhurringile students. The students were thrilled to find a brush-tailed possum in the school ground recently. The following day the students checked the nesting boxes to find that one had a possum resident.

Dhurringile Primary are currently hosting interviews and tours of the school for potential new families including for 2020 Foundation (Prep) students. To view the school and discuss what Dhurringile PS can offer your child, please phone the principal, Lisa Wilson to arrange a time on 03 5826 6222.

The Old Dodge Awaiting Attention

ANOTHER FUN DAY OUT This month the Fins and Fenders Car Club had a fun run to check out the latest build, an old Dodge, from one of our members and then on to lunch at the Toolleen pub. It was really interesting to see where Jed lived, as he is on 50 acres where he has a very large shed, half of which holds his workshop and the other half is his ‘house’, which is all very rustic looking and extremely well done. Jed is an interesting character, who owns the old Ford Ute that has been printed in the Bulletin previously, thus his name ‘Jed’ as in Jed Clampett from the Beverley Hillbillies. As well as checking out his different vehicles we also had the pleasure of seeing numerous old machinery working.

I have never been to Toolleen and now realize why the pub there is so popular. It has very good meals, with both food and drinks charged at a reasonable price. They also have a big shed next to the pub that is rented out for events. It is also rustic looking with an enormous fireplace, stage, bar and plenty of tables and seating. The sort of place that would be terrific for any celebration and I can understand they have many wedding receptions held there.

This was another enjoyable run and if you would like to join in with us on any of our outings, just phone our president Jody on 0423 402 023, secretary Janine on 0419 969 131, or even myself on 0431 777 830.

WARANGA WINTER FILM FESTIVAL It feels like just yesterday the Waranga Flicks team were bumbling their way through the inaugural Waranga Winter Film Festival. A mountain of 35mm reel to reel films that had to be spliced, wound, played, re-wound, packed and shipped, lay at the bottom of the stairs to the bio box at the Rushworth Shire Hall. Rows of seats were lined up neatly and organisers anxiously stood by the doors on opening night to usher a hand-full of people to their places.

Six years later the committee breeze through the process of coordinating the event. They have their step-by-step guide-to-organisinga-film-festival down pat and everyone on the ever-expanding committee knows their role.

Modern digital media has made its way to the vintage building, saving lots of time and lots, lots more money, and punters have to arrive early to ensure tables in the cabaret-style theatre setting are available. Displays adorn the entry hall and fancy lights festoon the hall facade at night making the experience more than just a movie night.

The most difficult part of the process each year, is deciding which films will be screened.

The committee agree that films should be cinema-graphic. In other words, they need to look great on a big screen and in particular, they need to look great in the fabulous aesthetic of the Rushworth Shire Hall, regarded as one of the finest historic buildings in the Shire.

This year, the committee are running with the theme of ‘music’ and have chosen three films known not only for their big screen attraction but also for their sound tracks and unforgettable musical experience. In addition to these films, the committee are also excited to announce that local film student Taylah Bons, has agreed to screen her short film ‘Polaroid’ prior to each feature film! We could not be more pleased to have local creative talent represented at the Waranga Winter Film Festival again this year.

As usual, guests will be treated to personal table service by our fancy waiting staff and the films will be followed by a delicious buffet supper with home-made soup, bread, savouries, home-baked cakes and hot drinks. Of course our famous P-12 lolly sellers will keep guests topped up with jaffas and popcorn!

Members Passes for the entire festival will be available at the theatre door and this year, and first in will have their choice of table. $25/$20 concession entitles guests to all films including hot meals Friday and Saturday and high tea on Sunday.

The Film Festival is a not-for-profit event, run solely by the community and volunteers of Rushworth so we hope you can come along and enjoy our friendly country hospitality.

The films being screened this year are: My Fair Lady Friday, June 28 - 11am.

Intermission with lunch and live entertainment and bookings essential.

In this beloved musical, pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins played by Rex Harrison, is so sure of his abilities that he takes it upon himself to transform a Cockney working-class girl into someone who can pass

Preparing for the Festival for a cultured member of high society. His subject turns out to be the lovely Eliza Doolittle played by Audrey Hepburn, who agrees to speech lessons to improve her job prospects.

Higgins and Eliza clash, then form an unlikely bond; one that is threatened by an aristocratic suitor, Jeremy Brett.

Bohemian Rhapsody Saturday, June 29 5pm. Film followed by buffet supper. If you haven’t seen Bohemian Rhapsody yet, don’t!

Wait and see it at the festival.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury.

Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound.

They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker

influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Moulin Rouge Sunday, July 1 - 2pm.

Followed by sweet and savoury high tea.

A young Englishman in the Paris of 1899, becomes infatuated with Satine, a singer at the Moulin Rouge. However, she has been promised by the manager to a duke in return for funding his next production. As the young lovers meet in secret, Satine's wedding day draws closer but she hides a fatal secret from both Christian and the Duke.

Crime PREVENTION With Glenn Gibson, Crime Prevention Officer

NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS During the month of May we suffered a spate of daylight burglaries from residential units across populated areas of Greater Shepparton.

Five unlocked units were entered, leading to a variety of thefts that included the theft of a motor vehicle belonging to that resident. Police have arrested one young offender from these five thefts and have slowed the incidents, but they have not ceased.

A small group of youths appear to have been involved and they have moved through several residential areas looking for unattended and unlocked property. I can reassure the community that the youths avoid confrontation with victims. What they are searching for are soft targets and by soft targets I refer to unlocked properties and vehicles.

The message is clear – take the simple steps to secure your property. Lock your home, sheds and vehicles. Please take these simple steps to secure your property. This will protect you from this type of opportunistic crime.

Then work together with your neighbours to be on the lookout for suspicious movement through your local residential area. Let the police know. I spoke to two residents recently with reports that they received knocks on their door from suspicious youths trying to identify unlocked or unoccupied homes. If answering a similar suspicious door knock, remember to note your observations and call police if they remain in the area. Call Police on triple zero.

With ‘nothing to see here’ the offenders will move on.

TATURA AREA BULLETIN, June 2019 - Page 19

FORGOTTEN TATURA COOKBOOK NOW FAMOUS A book that celebrates a long-forgotten community cookbook from Tatura has been short-listed for an international award. The Rodney Cookery Book was first published more than one hundred years ago to raise money for All Saints Anglican Church. What is believed to be the only surviving first-edition copy held in a public collection, is part of the archives at the Tatura Irrigation and Wartime Camps Museum.

That is where best-selling author Liz Harfull tracked it down, when she was researching her latest book, Tried Tested and True, which brings together treasured recipes and previously untold stories about Australian community cookbooks, and the volunteers who compiled them.

Tried Tested and True is now in the running for a 2019 Gourmand Award recognising the world's best cookbook capturing an aspect of food heritage. Described by their Paris-based organisers as the food culture equivalent of the Olympics, the annual Gourmand Awards honour the best food and wine books, magazines, digital content and publishers from across the globe.

The 2019 awards attracted thousands of entries from more than 200 countries. A long-list of finalists was announced late last year, with Liz's work being named the Australian winner in two categories, one for best Easy Home Recipes, and the Food Inheritance category in which it is now short-listed. Overall winners will be announced at a special ceremony in Macau on July 4.

As part of her research for Tried Tested and True, Liz reviewed close to 1000 different community cookbooks, visiting public and private collections, op shops and second-hand book stores across the country.

"My focus was cookbooks produced to raise money for worthy causes, covering a period of about 100 years, starting in the 1890s. Collectively in that time, these cookbooks must have raised hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars for local organisations and charities," Liz said.

"Many of them were humble publications, but they came with a promise.

People knew the recipes would be reliable because they were usually donated by people with a reputation for being excellent home cooks."

Liz first came across the Rodney Cookery Book in the State Library of NSW, which holds a second edition copy. Captivated by its simple, oldfashion cover and a recipe for trifle, she contacted the Tatura Museum to see if they could tell her anything about small book. After checking the archives, volunteers discovered the museum held a very rare first edition copy. They also put the Adelaide Hills author in touch with All Saints church member, Pauline Parks, who delved into the church records on her behalf.

Pauline didn't find any mention of the mysterious cookbook but she was able to help Liz with some initial information about the minister at the time, Reverend Charles Zercho. "With more research, I discovered Reverend Zercho was a charismatic figure. Described as handsome, tall and athletic, with a dynamic personality, he was a talented cricketer and footballer who played a season for Essendon in 1890," Liz said. "Charles was also keenly interested in education. He established a grammar school for boys and a high school for girls at Tatura in 1904, and later in life served as a chaplain and headmaster at several prestigious private schools in Melbourne."

Reverend Zercho took up his appointment at Tatura in 1903, with his wife Maggie. Aside from carrying out the expected duties of a clergyman's wife, she also cared for students who boarded at the vicarage, while raising her own family, including two children that died as infants.

Maggie was among the women who contributed recipes for the cookbook, which was produced by the church's Ladies Guild. In particular, she donated a recipe for almond macaroons, made with a dash of rosewater to give them what must have been a very exotic flavour for Australian cooking at the time.

Liz Harfull Liz incorporated the recipe in her book, along with the trifle recipe which uses the macaroons, as well as amaretti biscuits, sponge cake and generous amounts of sherry and brandy. "I had to spend considerable time restructuring both recipes so they are easy for modern cooks to follow.

That meant not only revising the measurements to metric, but researching the ingredients and updating the method to take into account modern kitchen technology like refrigeration and electric mixers," she said. "The end result is one of the best trifles I've ever tasted with subtle layers The Tatura Cookbook of delicious flavour."

Aside from carefully updated signature recipes for each of the selected cookbooks, Tried Tested and True is beautifully illustrated with rare photos and vintage advertisements.

The book was designed by talented Adelaide book designer, Liz Nicholson, who also worked with the author on The Blue Ribbon Cookbook. It became a surprise hit and launched her career as a writer, after being named runner-up out of more than 50 finalists in the easy recipe category of the Gourmand Awards in 2008.

Published by Allen & Unwin, Tried Tested and True is available through Australian bookshops (RRP $39.99) or direct from the author. For more information visit www.lizharfull.com

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?

by Ma Merle

I needed to explain to my son the whole saga of the last few days when he phoned to see how I was. Apparently, he was too busy to visit me in person but I suppose a phone call is better than nothing. He already knew that I had an accident and was in hospital as Agnes had let him know but I bet she didn’t tell him that it was her fault.

I tried to put on a bright voice even though I was in a great deal of pain.

“Hello son,” I said as cheerfully as I could. “Yes, please do come and visit me when you’re not too busy. I should be home tomorrow or the next day, it depends if they need to operate or not. And please let your sister know that she can come and see me as soon as she is able. Apparently, she has a lot on at the moment.”

“I’m surprised you’re still in hospital,” my son said. “Agnes told me your injury wasn’t that bad.”

“Not that bad!” I exclaimed loudly, causing the woman on the trolley next to me to glance over at me. “I cannot even begin to explain the traumatic events of the last couple of days. Agnes gave me her old running shoes, not that I can ever imagine Agnes running. All for a good cause she told me. We can go walking together and you will really see the benefits she said. Benefits? Well if living through hell makes me a stronger person and if I decide not to commit cold blooded murder, then I will benefit, there is no doubt about that.”

I told my son the whole story about how, once I regained consciousness in the ambulance, and I must say that it seems they just threw me in by the way I was lying, I was moaning and asking where that Garry was. They said he would follow in his car once he ran home to grab it. Yet another case of someone running that would probably never really happen.

I told him that the ambulance went out of its way to take me over the roughest possible roads on the way to the hospital and then, when I arrived, I was carted around on the trolley like the weeks groceries, going over more humps and bumps, all the while in so much pain. Then, can you believe, the ambulance people left me on the trolley in a hallway like a piece of old trash, telling me someone would come along soon and look at me due to the severity of my injury. They said that their job was done and they had more accidents to attend to.

Finally, after what seemed an absolute eternity, a rather annoyed looking young woman wandered along to see me. She took all my details and said the doctor wouldn’t be long and hurried off with far more important things to do I presume. By this time Garry arrived still looking very pale and worried.

“How are you feeling Merle?” he asked in a quiet voice as though loud words could possibly make my pain any worse.

“How do you think I feel?” I snapped. “For goodness sakes, I am in agony, and here I am lying in a hallway on an uncomfortable trolley. Oh, the pain, the pain is just awful.”

Garry went off to see if he could find anyone to come and help and when he finally returned, he said they would be here shortly as they were all just very busy at the moment.

15 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Servicing the Goulburn Valley

After another long stretch of time, a woman came and took my blood pressure, which I thought would break their machine as I was so upset and angry by this time, not to mention the pain. She also took down all my personal details yet again although I could barely muster the energy to tell her as the pain was so draining.

After she finished, she said that it wouldn’t be much longer before I was looked after. I could visibly see her nose growing longer as she walked away. There seems to be the doctor’s length of time and the rest of the world’s length of time and neither were similar in any way, shape or form.”

“I didn’t realise things were so bad,” said my son.

“Oh, there’s lots more I could tell you but to cut a long story short son, there were several young, untrained, people who came to see me to tell me someone was coming now. Who that someone was I will never know, because more young people kept arriving to tell me that someone was coming soon. And some of them, to be honest with you, I could not understand at all, but Garry chatted to them for me. My pain was dreadful and my patience was beyond frayed. Several more hours passed and finally a man with a stethoscope around his neck and a badge declaring he was a trainee came to see me and said that they were going to wheel me into the consulting room so that he would look me over. “You will do no such thing,” I screeched at him. “You will go and get me a proper doctor now.”

“But ma’am,” he said, “they are all very busy and I have been assigned to look after you. I am in my third year, so I’m sure I will be able to help you.”

“I tell you son, I did not believe him one bit. He went on to say if I still wanted to wait for another three to four hours then a fully qualified doctor could see me and that was the best he could do. What dreadful passive aggressive behaviour this was.

“Well, just see me then,” I snarled at him. “I simply cannot wait here any longer.” Well, let me tell you, the tests hurt, everywhere he touched hurt and I was feeling very distressed. The trainee doctor went off with a concerned look on his face and brought another trainee back with him who also muttered and hummed a lot while scratching his head. I was too exhausted to complain.

Garry was still with me and kept asking the trainee doctors if they could give me something for the pain, but the answer was always no. They kept saying they needed to ascertain what was wrong before they could give anything to me as they may need to operate. They said that more tests needed to be done, but I had to wait until they could fit me in, so I still continued to wait on a cold skinny trolley with my pain getting worse by the minute.

Garry looked tired and sad. I did feel sorry for him, but not for long because I blame him for all of this too. I will yell at him when I have more energy.

I said to my son, “I fail to see why it takes hospitals so long to see someone who is in obvious pain. Where are all the proper doctors and what are they all busy doing?” Can someone please explain? Anyone?

TATURA AREA BULLETIN, June 2019 - Page 23

FAMOUS LAST WORDS I was listening to a quiz on late night radio recently and one of the questions concerned the last words of Admiral Nelson as he lay dying after being shot by a French sharpshooter at the Battle of Trafalgar. His final words were reportedly, “Kiss me Hardy,” (Hardy being the ship’s captain) which seems a little strange as Nelson was reportedly very much a lady’s man. Some historians believe that his final words were actually, “Kismet Hardy,” meaning fate or destiny but were misunderstood as a mondegreen by the people crowded around his death bed although the initial words may have been correct as Hardy did give Nelson a kiss on the cheek. Anyway, it got me thinking about other famous last words. I’ve always admired the inscription on comedian, Spike Milligan’s headstone which reads, “I told you I was ill.”

So, here is my top twenty list of other famous last words in no particular order: 1. “Tomorrow, I shall no longer be here.” Nostradamus.

2. “Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies.” Voltaire when asked by a priest to renounce Satan.

3. “Put out the bloody cigarette!!” The writer, Saki, to a fellow officer while in a trench during World War One, for fear the smoke would give away their positions. He was then shot by a German sniper who had heard the remark.

4. “We all get the same amount of ice. The rich get it in the summer.

The poor get it in the winter.” Bat Masterson, gunfighter, lawman and newspaperman.

5. “I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.” Humphrey Bogart.

6. “To the strongest!” Alexander the Great in response to his generals asking the heirless Alexander which one of them would get control of the empire. This may have also been a mondegreen as when he was asked on his deathbed who was to succeed him, his voice may have been indistinct.

Alexander may have said "Krateros" (the name of one of his generals), who unfortunately was not around and the others may have chosen to hear "Kratistos— the strongest".

7. “Am I dying, or is this my birthday?” Lady Nancy Astor as she awoke on her deathbed to see her family at her bedside.

8. “One last drink please.” Jack Daniel.

9. “This is the fish of my dreams.” Fisherman, Dan Dodds, as he hauled in a 20lb salmon, the biggest fish of his life. He turned to a stranger, said this quote, then fell into the river and died of a heart attack. The salmon was barbecued and eaten at his wake.

10. “I am just going outside. I may be some time.” Captain Lawrence Oates, on Scott’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition. While suffering from frostbite and sheltering from a blizzard, Oates felt he was decreasing his companions' chances of survival and voluntarily left the tent; it was his 32nd birthday. He was never seen again.

11. “...and now for a final word from our sponsor...” Charles Gussman, a television writer who wrote for the soap opera ‘Days of Our Lives’.

12. “Yes, it's tough, but not as tough as doing comedy.” Actor Edmund Gwenn when asked if he thought dying was tough.

13. “Everything is an illusion.” The spy, Mata Hari, spoken to a visitor before she faced a firing squad. The words reflect the Eastern mysticism which had long fascinated her.

July GARDENING PLAN Are you thinking about planting an established tree? This is a great time to do so. Bare-root trees can be bought from nurseries around this time and is a lot more cost effective. This is because in their dormant stage they can be removed from soil and transplanted to its new position, no pot or soil contained around the root system of the plant, hence saving some added costs by nurseries. Prepare a hole and if needed add some structure to the existing soil with compost and manure. A great advantage of planting trees now is that they have time to settle in before the hot weather arrives, less stress means a healthier growing tree.

Most deciduous fruit trees have dropped their leaves and so they can be pruned now. Just as important is to follow up with a Copper or Lime Sulphur spray to help control rot and fungus diseases. Stone fruit trees also need to be sprayed to avoid Leaf Curl at pink bud stage.

This month is a good time to think about pruning your roses. Some people may delay until next month with certain types of roses but in general, now is the right time. I get asked a lot about how to correctly prune roses so I have added this information again to help some of you out with that. When tackling roses bear the following in mind: Cuts should be no more than 5mm (¼ in) above a bud and should slope away from it, so that water does not collect on the bud. This applies to all cuts, whether removing dead wood, deadheading or annual pruning.

Cut to an outward-facing bud to encourage an open-centred shape. With roses of spreading habit prune some stems to inward-facing buds to encourage more upright growth.

Cut to the appropriate height, if a dormant bud is not visible. Cuts must be clean, so keep your secateurs sharp. For larger stems, use loppers or a pruning saw Prune dieback to healthy white pith Cut out dead and diseased stems and spindly and crossing stems. Aim for well-spaced stems that allow free air flow On established roses, cut out poorly flowering old wood and saw away old stubs that have failed to produce new shoots.

With the exception of climbing roses, prune all newly planted roses hard to encourage vigorous shoots. Trace suckers back to the roots from which they grow and pull them away.

To avoid frost damage on your plants, gently hose them in the mornings with water. Another handy tip is to water them regularly with Seasol. Foliar applications of Seasol is one of the best tools at your disposal to prevent damage from frost. Apply to the point of runoff over all the leaves.

What to plant now: Broadbeans, Silverbeet, Spinach, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Spring Onions, Leek, Brown Onions, Spanish Onions, White Onions, Celery, Peas, Snow Peas, Kale, Viola, Stock, Dianthus, Polyanthus, Primula, Pansy, Snapdragon, Delphiniums, Alyssum, Poppies, Wallflower, Foxglove, Statice and Primrose.

It’s also time to get your seed potatoes in. Nothing beats fresh home grown produce from your own garden, and potatoes grown from seeded potato tastes so much better than that at the supermarket. There is a selection available here in the nursery to choose from.

Varieties available are- Desiree, Sebago, Dutch Cream, Kipfler, Pink Eyes, Nicola, and a Potato Salad Mix. Which potato is best to grow?

Desiree - Red skin, creamy texture. Use - salads, boiling, mashing, roasting, baking.

Sebago - Oval creamy skin, white flesh. Use - salads, boiling, mashing, roasting, baking and chips.

Dutch Cream - Yellow skin, yellow flesh. Use - mashing, roasting, baking.

Kipfler - Long, yellow skin, waxy flesh. Use - salads, boiling, mashing, roasting, baking.

Pink Eyes - Yellow skin, yellow flesh. Use - salads, boiling, mashing, roasting.

Nicola - Yellow skin and cream flesh. Use- salad, boiling, mashing and roasting.

WORLD EVENTS

in July

July 1 – Second Half of the Year Day. This is your chance to step back, evaluate your year so far with your goals and objectives (never mind the New Year’s resolutions which probably evaporated many months ago) and take action to get back on track if necessary. It’s a great opportunity to do some hard thinking (that’s ‘thinking’ not ‘drinking’) over your finances, your diet, your career and other aspects of your life that you might want to improve.

Remember, it’s your current energy that determines your future.

July 2 – I Forgot Day. This day encourages people to apologise and make up for all the events and occasions they might have forgotten. Acknowledge your mistake and do something nice for those whose birthdays and anniversaries you missed. According to some studies, walking through doors can create memory lapses. Psychologists believe that this is because when people walk through a door from one room to another, the transition indicates to the brain that the scene has changed and all information gathered in the previous room or scenario is no longer needed, hence the common thought, “Why did I come in here?”

July 3 – International Joke Day. No, this has nothing to do with politicians. It’s strange but true that different countries have different understandings of humour. While Australians laugh at English humour, which tends to be subtle, clever and ironic, Americans have no idea what the laughing is all about and prefer a more ‘ín-your-face’, slapstick approach. The English think that the Germans and Dutch don’t even have a sense of humour but that is because they don’t understand the very dry German jokes.

July 5 – Compliment Your mirror Day. May people suffer silently from depression or lack of self-esteem. It’s easy to focus on the negatives in our life and ignore the many positive aspects.

However, complimenting our mirrors isn’t just about how we look. We can do our best to look after our health and bodies but they will always be the ones that we were dealt by our parents’ genes. If only my dad was George Clooney. Anyway, it’s about acknowledging our inner strength and our inner beauty and remembering that your best friend is looking right back at you.

July 8 – International Chocolate Day. There appears to be four or five of these days scattered throughout the year which is fair enough. So, just indulge yourself with anything composed of chocolate.

July 11 – World Population Day. The population of the world did not reach 1 billion people until 1804. It reached 2 billion in 1927, 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1974, 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1999 and 7 billion in 2008. It is projected that we will reach 8 billion in 2024

and the population will continue to increase at a rate of 1.1% each year. Logic dictates that at some stage we will run out of food, water, habitable space and car parking at the MCG. Something has to give. This day is organised each year to remind us of this fact. July 12 should be Universal Depression Day. July 12 – Teddy Bear’s Picnic Day. This is simply a day for parents to encourage creativity among their children by taking them out for a whimsical picnic with their teddy bears and other stuffed toys. However, be wary of any bananas in pyjamas that you see hanging about.

July 13 – Embrace Your Inner Geek Day. Geek: a usually intelligent person who is unfashionable or socially awkward. The word geek is a slang term originally used to describe eccentric or non-mainstream people.

In current use, the word typically describes an enthusiast who is obsessed with a hobby or intellectual pursuit and can speak fluently on it for hours, boring everybody in the immediate vicinity. I’m not sure how this differs from a nerd. Anyway, we all have some secret hobby or obsession, so today you have carte blanche to bore all of your friends and workmates by describing it in complete and utterly painstaking detail.

July 14 – Bastille Day. This day marks the storing of the Bastille in Paris in 1789 which triggered the French Revolution. Although it eventually became a reign of terror, the initial declaration of freedom, equality and brotherhood is still pertinent in today’s world where our governing elite still believe that some people are more equal than others and are trying to legislate to make it so.

July 15 – World Youth Skills Day. This is another United Nations initiative to generate greater awareness of the importance of technical and vocational training. The intent is to reduce unemployment among the youth across the globe. When I was young, this was phrased as, ‘Get a haircut and get a real job.’

July 17 – World Day of International Justice.

Each year, people around the world use this day to host events to promote international criminal justice, especially support for the International Criminal Court. The day usually attracts international news attention, and allows groups to use the day to focus attention on particular issues such as genocide and violence against women.

July 18 – Nelson Mandela International Day. This is another United Nations Day and is in recognition of Nelson Mandela’s contribution to the culture of peace and freedom. For 67 years Nelson Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity, as a human rights lawyer, a prisoner of conscience, an international peacemaker and the first democratically

elected president of a free South Africa. You are asked (yes, you, no don’t look around, I’m talking to you), to devote 67 minutes of your time to helping others. That’s not asking too much is it?

July 20 – Space Exploration Day. There is a connection with World Population Day. As our population continues to expand, the overflow will need to go somewhere. After we’ve built underground cities and floating cities have filled up the oceans, we will need to colonise other worlds and export our wonderful human culture to the rest of the universe. We will therefore need to continue exploring space and searching for human compatible planets.

You can celebrate this day by organising a star gazing party. Be sure to rug up.

July 22 – Pi Approximation Day. This is a fun mathematical day to celebrate Pi. Why July 22 I hear you ask? Pi, which is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter, corresponds to the fraction 22/7. Do you get it now? Pi Day has been observed in many ways, including eating a pie, throwing pies and discussing the significance of the number 22/7. Perhaps the Hot Bread shop could bake a special Pi pie to commemorate this. My son can actually recite Pi up to fifty decimal places.

No, I don’t know why either because it doesn’t actually impress the girls.

July 27 – Take Your Pants for a Walk Day. Studies have shown that walking at a medium to fast pace regularly can have tremendous mental and physical health benefits. Walking not only helps burn calories but can also boost a person's mood and can help treat depression.

It also reduces the risk of a variety of health problems including obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases. Here’s a tip for the unwary – try and wear your pants rather than just have them with you. It will avoid unnecessary court appearances.

July 28 – World Hepatitis Day. The World Health Organisation has set the goal of eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030. Viral hepatitis is caused by five distinct hepatitis viruses. Infection from these viruses results in approximately 1.45 million deaths each year. These viruses are transmitted through contaminated water and food, as well as by contact with blood or bodily fluids, through unsafe injections or transfusions.

July 30 – International Day of Friendship.

Friendship Day was originally promoted by Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark cards in 1930, intended to be a day when people celebrated their friendships by sending cards.

Perhaps I’m just a cynic but I sense an ulterior motive here. Besides, true friends don’t need to send a card; texts are much easier and far cheaper.

COMMUNITY MATCHING GRANTS ROUND TWO

Enjoying the View

MID-WEEK WALK TO MT TERRICK TERRICK We were again blessed with a perfect day for a walk, blue skies overhead and a warming sun. After meeting at the library, we made our way to Mt Terrick Terrick via Echuca and Mitiamo. What a difference a month can make to the colour of the landscape. As we drove Mt Terrick Terrick the green tinge had replaced the very dry brown landscape of the previous months. After the drive that took us about 90 minutes, we were ready for our morning tea stop at the entrance to the park, 4 km north of Mitiamo.

With map in hand, Di then lead the group through the White Cypress Pines towards the granite boulders that make up Mt Terrick Terrick. After the easy walk to the base of the mountain we had a short steep walk to the pinnacle of Mt Terrick Terrick. Our reward was a spectacular 360-degree view of the entire park and surrounding farmland. Pyramid Hill was also visible to the west. Unfortunately, we had not walked far enough or long enough to enjoy the view while eating lunch so we headed towards Bennett’s Rock. The area is home to at least a hundred species of birds, however the fauna was light on the ground during our walk. With the expert bird watching skills of some of the Adventure Club members, we were able to identify and view the black and white Hooded Robin at our lunch stop. We also saw the flash of a Black Wallaby bounding away. After we were all fed and watered, we headed towards the sun and slightly to the left until we found the road that lead us to Bennett’s Rock. This was also an easy walk with a short climb up the granite outcrop to the top. Again, we had great views including Mt Terrick Terrick and the surrounding area. The cool granite outcrops provided shelter for the Dja Dja Wurrung Aboriginal people and associated clans of central Victoria. When walking through the woodlands we found evidence of their existence in the form of curving scars on a number of old Grey Box trees. Time was moving on and in order to return back to Shepparton at a suitable time we had to keep moving to complete the circuit back to the cars.

Unfortunately, time prevented us having the coffee stop on our way home.

A distance of approximately 13 km was covered on this walk. Thank you Dianne for organising a most enjoyable walk to Mt Terrick Terrick which was the first time for many of us.

Greater Shepparton City Council approved the recommendation to financially assist thirteen local community projects under the Community Matching Grants Scheme at the May Ordinary Council Meeting.

Round Two of the 2018/2019 scheme will see a total of $41,012.91, GST inclusive, distributed throughout the region.

Community Matching Grants are designed to support projects from the Greater Shepparton community which: build new social connections and partnerships within communities, or reinforce those that already exist, allow participation in a community activity, at all stages of the project from planning to completion, enable community members to acquire or develop a new skill, and create, renew or revitalise places and spaces within the community.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, congratulated all the groups and clubs that submitted eligible applications. “Council was pleased to approve the financial assistance of projects all around the region via the Community Matching Grants Scheme,” Cr O’Keeffe said. “Round Two of the scheme brings the total number of community projects assisted by Council to 229 with a total investment from Council of $505,104 since its inception in 2011.”

Each project under the Community Matching Grants Scheme is required to provide a matching component of the total project cost, either through a cash or in-kind (material or labour) contribution.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES – THE LIZARD MAN

The Damaged Car The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp is a humanoid lizard creature which is said to inhabit areas of swampland in and around Lee County, South Carolina in the United States. The Lizard Man is described as being seven feet tall, bipedal, and well built, with green scaly skin and glowing red eyes.

It is said to have three toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand which end in long black claw-like nails.

The first reported sighting of the creature occurred on June 29, 1988, and was made by Christopher Davis, a 17-year-old local youth, who is said to have encountered the creature while driving home from work at 2 am.

According to his own account, Davis stopped on a road bordering Scape Ore Swamp in order to change a tyre which had blown out. As he was finishing, he reported having heard a thumping noise from behind him and to have turned around to see the creature running towards him.

The creature is said to have grabbed at the car and then jumped on its roof as Davis tried to escape, clinging on to it as Davis swerved from side to side in an effort to throw it off. After he returned home, Davis' side-viewmirror was found to be badly damaged, and scratch marks were found on the car's roof, though there was no other physical evidence of his encounter.

“I looked back and saw something running across the field towards me.

It was about 25 yards away and I saw red eyes glowing. I ran into the car and as I locked it, the thing grabbed the door handle. I could see him from the neck down, the three big fingers, long black nails and green rough skin.

It was strong and angry. I looked in my mirror and saw a blur of green running as it chased me. I could see his toes and then he jumped on the roof of my car. I heard a grunt and then I could see his fingers through the front windshield, where they curled around on the roof. I sped up and swerved to shake the creature off.”

Prior to Chris Davis reporting his encounter, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office was called to the scene of a strange instance of vehicle damage. On the morning of July 14, 1988, deputies made their way to the residence of

Tom and Mary Waye, which was located in a small rural community of Browntown, South Carolina. When they arrived, police inspected the vehicle and found that the chrome moulding had been torn away from the fenders, the sidewalls were scratched and dented, the hood ornament was broken, the antenna was bent, and even some wires from the motor had been ripped out. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that parts of the moulding had actually been chewed, as if an animal had used its teeth to inflict the damage. While the police were inspecting the car, locals informed them of a bizarre solution to the puzzle. The police were told that people in the Browntown community had been seeing a strange green creature about seven feet tall with red eyes and they thought it might be responsible for the damage.

Two weeks after the Davis sighting, the sheriff's department made several plaster casts of what appeared to be three-toed footprints measuring 14 inches in length but decided against sending them on to the FBI for further analysis after biologists advised them that they were unclassifiable. According to South Carolina Marine Resources Department spokesperson Johnny Evans, the tracks neither matched, nor could be mistaken for, the footprints of any recorded animal.

Evans also dismissed the possibility that they could have been made by some form of mutated creature. In the month that followed the Davis sighting there were several further reports of a large lizard like creature, and of unusual scratches and bite marks being found on cars parked close to the swamp. Most of these are said to have occurred within a three-mile radius of the swamps at Bishopville.

The sightings attracted tourists interested in seeing the creature and hunters interested in tracking it, and nearby radio station WCOS offered a $1 million reward to anybody who could capture the creature alive.

However, reports of the creature began to decline at the end of the summer with the last credible sighting of the year being reported in July, 1988.

On August 5, Kenneth Orr, an airman stationed at Shaw Air Force Base, filed a report with the police saying that he had encountered the Lizard Man on highway 15, and that he had shot and wounded it. He presented several scales and a small quantity of blood as evidence. Orr recanted this account two days later when he was arraigned for unlawfully carrying a pistol, and the misdemeanour offense of filing a false police report.

According to Orr, he had invented the sighting in order to keep stories about the Lizard Man in circulation.

In October 2005, a woman in Newberry, South Carolina reported to the police that she had seen two creatures resembling the Lizard Man outside her home. In February 2008, a couple in Bishopville, South Carolina, Bob and Dixie Rawson, reported strange damage to their vehicle, traces of blood, and the disappearance of some of their cats. Based on how the damage looks, some claimed that this was the return of the Lizard Man. The blood traces from the Rawson’s vehicle were sent to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for evaluation in hopes that their source could be identified, but the samples were deemed contaminated. Soon after the incident at the Rawson's home, the Lee County sheriff discovered a dead cow, and a dead coyote in a field next to the Rawson's home.

No-one is quite sure how all this happened and the Lizard Man remains an unsolved mystery.

MYSTERY SOLVED AT TATURA

Tatura recently had a visitor from Western Australia, who came especially to visit the grave of a long lost relative in the World War One section of the Tatura German War Cemetery. Mrs Sulka Singh, from Perth in Western Australia, recently discovered that her long lost great uncle, Blaz Franin was buried at the Tatura German War Cemetery. So, when the opportunity arrived for Mrs Singh to head to Victoria recently with her husband, who was attending a conference in Melbourne, Mrs Singh took the opportunity to travel a little further into the state, and visit the grave of her long-lost great uncle.

The story of Blaz Franin is an interesting one, which highlights how easy it is to lose contact with family during times of war. Mrs Singh’s grandfather and his brother Blaz Franin, travelled from their home country of Croatia to Australia prior to WW1 in search of employment. It appears that they first landed in Western Australia, and spent time in the Kalgoorlie gold fields, before eventually heading south of Perth to work as timber cutters.

Mrs Singh’s grandfather was called back home to Croatia to resolve a family matter, and not long after he arrived back in his home country, WW1 began and contact with his brother, Blaz, was lost.

From the information that has been gathered, Blaz, who was working as a timber cutter south of Perth at the time war broke out, was moved into various internment camps, until he eventually ended up in the Holdsworthy Internment Camp, not far from Sydney.

Blaz survived the war, but on June 28, 1919, while still in the internment camp, he contracted the pneumonic influenza, otherwise known as the Spanish flu, and died. It appears that authorities didn’t contact his family, possibly because of the language barriers, or maybe because communication between countries like Croatia and Australia would have been difficult at the time. Either way, Blaz Franin’s family never learned what happened to him.

Thankfully, about two years ago Mrs Singh’s husband discovered some information about Blaz on the internet, which led to the discovery of his grave at the Tatura War Cemetery. Mrs Singh said that her family moved back to Australia in later years after the war, where they have now become well established.

Mrs Singh explained that she was very proud of her family, who have all become successful in their own right. Mrs Singh’s husband is now a Perth based dermatologist, as are her two sons. She also has two daughters who were involved with art, and another daughter who became a doctor, working in Africa as an Ebola specialist.

It was a pleasure to see Mrs Singh so happy to eventually find her great uncle, and be able to pay her respects.

It’s nice to know that people like Blaz Franin have not been forgotten, and that Mrs Singh has been able to solve a lifelong family mystery.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPLIED THEIR NEWS EARLY THIS MONTH

AROUND TATURA

30 Years Ago…

A Tatura man escaped injury after his car ran into a cow which had escaped from the Tatura saleyards. Police said Dominic Bagnato’s car suffered minor damage after hitting a vealer in Ross street at 10 o’clock at night. The cow was not badly hurt. ***** Water tables are a hidden menace beneath our feet. If you ask any child around Harston how shallow the water table is you will get an accurate answer. The installation of flagged test wells in local primary schools has boosted awareness among our children of the dilemma of rising water tables. This program is now being extended to district landholder groups and wells will be put on farms and in prominent places around the community. In officially launching Watertable Watch, Chief general manager of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Mr Jeff Wright, said that rising water tables and salinity were the greatest threats Victorians were facing. “It costs farmers more than $50 million each year,” said Mr Wright. “That will increase four to five times and cost thousands of jobs by the year 2000 if nothing is done.” ***** Advertising boards placed on the footpaths of Rodney Shire are no longer illegal. Council passed a pavement trading code which will allow traders to place advertising boards and display goods on shire footpaths. However, the new code comes at a price as one sandwich board outside the premises will cost $50 a year and hiring footpath frontage to display goods will cost $20 a metre each year. Council bylaws officer, Mr Vic Robinson, will have the power to seize signs or goods if shop owners do not have the appropriate permit. *****

Rodney State Emergency Service’s new road rescue unit is the first in the state with the new standard markings. State director Mr Rhys Maggs attended the commissioning of the new truck at Tatura recently. He congratulated the Rodney members on their hard work in preparing the vehicle at such low cost to the community. The second-hand Nissan UD truck was given to the Rodney unit by Rodney Shire Council and the unit controller, Mr Trevor Lee, found the body in a Bendigo truck yard. It was bought for $150 and remodelled. ***** Fruit growers’ worst fears have been realised with the recent confirmation that the disease fireblight has entered Australia. The disease was found in an illegal consignment of 10,000 pieces of Nashi fruit from New Zealand which was intercepted in Sydney. A serious outbreak of the bacterial disease, regarded as the ‘foot and mouth’ of the fruit industry could cripple Australia’s fruit industry. “The problem is, only one quarter of the fruit has been recovered, the rest has been sold,” said the convenor of the National Fireblight Task Force Mr Colin Bragg. “All we need now is one person to buy some fruit and eat it in an orchard area and there will be an outbreak of the disease.” ***** Local Harston youth, Travis Doherty, has been selected to train with the GV schoolboys football squad. The squad, comprising of boys under the age of 15 years, takes in the Goulburn Valley’s most promising junior footballers. Travis, who attends Mooroopna high School, has played all his junior football with Tatura, and was very prominent in the under 14 competition last year for which he is still eligible. *****

The Tongala and Tatura game played on Saturday was a great battle between two evenly matched sides played in difficult conditions.

Tatura, because of their consistency in playing wet weather football, were in front at the final siren by 11 points. Tongala, for over half the game, looked the better side with their more potent forward line and the enormous amount of ball being supplied to them but Tatura must be given credit. Once they had taken the lead in the final quarter and although the scores were close, the Bulldogs never looked like losing.

The game did not reach great standards in the heavy conditions with both sides looking to be forming the nucleus of a good side for the future. Best players for Tatura were B. Thomas, C. Chant, T. Dempsey, D. Archer, A Bourke, M. Kilmartin, M. Rijs and J. Serra. ***** The Tatura hospital has gained $16,654 from the annual 3SR Hospital Sunday Appeal. The generosity of the people of Tatura and district has been much appreciated in the past and this year is no exception. The Tatura Hospital, which is an annexe of the Goulburn Valley Base Hospital, has eight acute and eleven nursing home beds and provides inpatients with basic medical and surgical services, along with physiotherapy, pathology, podiatry and accident and emergency services. Two hardworking committees support the hospital, the Tatura Hospital Committee and the Tatura Ladies Auxiliary. ***** After 29 years at the Tatura Institute of Irrigation and Salinity Research, Bas van den Edne is leaving. Bas, who joined the Institute in 1956, is taking long service leave before retiring from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. When his long service leave has expired, Bas plans to work in the USA with a large fruit-growing company. “I have a three year permit with the company and hopefully I will be there for a further two years after that,” Bas explained. “Although I will be sad to go, I will leave with a feeling of deep satisfaction that I have helped with the resurgence of fruit growing in the area.” ***** Rodney Shire has honoured one of Tatura’s greats by naming the gardens in Walshe street the ‘Wilma Wilson Gardens’ after Wilma Wilson who died in March. Wilma, who lived across from the gardens, had a life-long interest in music in which she was extremely gifted, so her talents were shared with countless people across the years. Her service as an organist extended over four decades at All Saints Anglican Church and she was a foundation member of the Tatura branch of the Business and Professional Women’s organisation.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS Continued…

TATURA

The Early Years - Legal Matters In May 1889, the Minister of Justice consented to erect the long-promised Court House at Tatura, and the work was done in 1891 although there was some difficulty in getting suitable bricks. Courts of Petty Sessions were held once a month and in January 1907 “Thomas Wilkins was sentenced to 48 hours imprisonment for pilfering from another man’s swag,” a type of case not heard of any more. In March 1914, “two ordinary drunks went before the police court in Tatura. August Thompson, a well-known identity, was fined ten shillings, and Thomas Ring, not so favourably known, was fined seven shillings and sixpence.”

The administration of the law was in the hands of visiting stipendiary magistrates and local Justices of the Peace. Tatura had had one or more Justices since 1880 when James Everist was appointed as the first. The need for local Justices was first felt when the opening of the Court of Petty Sessions became imminent, and a public meeting was held. The four names polling highest in the ballot were nominated but the Goulburn Advertiser (July, 1880) pointed out that, “the ballot resulted in Messers L. Byrne, M. Walshe, T. Hogan and J. Brady being the nominees. It will be seen that the three last named are publicans, and it is a question whether the Department will consider them eligible nominees.” Nomination at some public meeting was the usual method of recommending persons for appointment, and at such a meeting in February 1909 two Justices were nominated because of the three currently serving, only one resided in the township. In December, 1932, history was made when three Justices of the same name sat together on the Tatura Bench, J. W. Wilson, W. N. Wilson

and W. J. Wilson, of whom the first two were brothers. The third Wilson was no relation.

The Justices had plenty of duties other than sitting on the bench, and so did the police.

It was usual for the principal police officer to undertake the council job of Inspector of Nuisances, and in August 1897 the Kyabram Free Press reported, “Thanks to the Inspector of Nuisances, Constable Dainty, the stray cow nuisance in the streets has been abated. The stray goats come next as pests, as they wander into our gardens and are very destructive.”

Crime was not unknown in the early years and the Free Press reported a safe-blowing at Flanagan’s and Cook’s tore on April 22, 1904.

“In the Commercial Hotel each man reckoned that the fellow in the next room had fallen out of bed, other residents thought it was thunder, while one man struck the original idea that Dr Park’s motor car had taken the fancy to blow itself up. Dr Park thought something had fallen on to his verandah roof and getting a light, wandered twice around his residence but discovered nothing and retired back to bed again. Just after the explosion some of the residents in Ross Street heard the sound of galloping horses.”

Several legal firms began practicing in Tatura. Charles Alfred Argyle established a practice in 1880, after first having established a practice in Murchison. In 1897 Atkyns and Thomson, Barristers, Solicitors, Proctors and Conveyancers, practiced their profession at Echuca, Tatura and Kyabram.

I haven’t included the Mayor of Hiroshima’s famous last words as they are inappropriate for a publication such as the Bulletin but if you want to know what they were then ask around as I’m sure somebody will be happy to enlighten you.

I have included the word ‘mondegreen’ a couple of times in this article and the dedicated Bulletin readers amongst you will know exactly what I’m referring to. For new readers or those with failing memories, a mondegreen is when you mishear what is being said. This normally occurs with song lyrics, for example when the lyrics say, ‘the cross I bear’ and people hear, ‘the cross-eyed bear.’

WHO CAN KEEP A SECRET?

by Kerryn Arndt

Who can keep a secret?

Who would even try?

Softly sings the branches As wind passes by.

Who knows all the lovers Etched upon the bark, Encircled in a deep heart Written in the dark?

Softly swaying tree tops See what lies below.

See each passing moment Of life`s ebb and flow.

Who lies upon the needles?

Who sits at pungent floor?

“I know,” the tall pine whispers, “All who`ve been before.”

“Who can keep a secret?”

Softly sighs the tree.

“When people write their name in hearts On the side of me.”

SYDNEY TO HOBART YACHT RACE 2019 I would like to share with you the opportunity I had to be on Sydney Harbour for the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race to where they went through the Heads.

The start of the race is a magnificent spectacle with the 2018 fleet tacking its way towards Sydney Heads, flanked by hundreds of spectator boats, of which ours was one. My grandson Peter was one of the Crew of Wings 70. They were in the 3rd division or handicap section that is 40 ft yachts.

You may be interested in a small snapshot about Peter. Peter is Wayne's second son, who trained as a landscape gardener, but his deep love of sailing, introduced by being a member of the sea scouts, Georges River Sydney. Sailing, soon became his chosen career. He backpacked across the world, gaining work on many boats. He spent four years sailing around the Greek islands on a huge, old wooden vessel. Work included general yachting duties and being the chef.

I remember him saying how difficult it was to concentrate on the cooking with the bikini clad American girls on the deck. He was also offered work to sail across the Atlantic on a catamaran from Greece to the Bahamas, where he met his future wife, a paediatric physiotherapist who was backpacking around the world.

Peter, now is a yacht broker working for YOTI whose motto is ‘Sailing as it should be’, stationed at the Quay, Pittwater Sydney North.

On Wings 70, Peter was the bowman, the man up the front, and also was responsible for the breakfast, purchasing requirements, preparing and cooking for the ten crew, including one female member.

Before they started I said to Peter, "You won't have to go up the mast will you?” He replied, "I hope not," but of course, that is just what he had to do.

Our yacht is called Perisher Cove and is a Beuzen 48, a fibreglass yacht made in Sydney. Accommodation wise, it has all the mod cons. including three cabins. Wayne, had all ten members of his direct family sleep over on New Year’s Eve on Sydney Harbour. On board was my son, his partner’s daughter, two grandsons, their wives and a granddaughter as well as my great grandson and great granddaughter.

EDWARD JOHN EYRE Edward John Eyre was born on August 5, 1815 at Whipsnade in Bedfordshire, England, shortly before his family moved to Yorkshire, where he was christened. After completing grammar school, he emigrated to Sydney rather than join the army or go to university. Finding no prospects in Sydney, he moved to the Hunter River district, where he gained experience in the new land by boarding with and forming friendships with prominent gentlemen and became a flock owner when he bought 400 lambs a month before his 18th birthday. At the age of 22, he started droving 1,000 sheep and 600 cattle overland from New South Wales to South Australia with eight stockmen and after seven months, arrived in Adelaide where he sold the livestock for a large profit. With the money from the sale he set out to explore the interior of South Australia.

From 1848 to 1853, Eyre served as Lieutenant-Governor of New Munster Province in New Zealand and married Miss Adelaide Ormond, the sister of a local politician, in 1850. From 1854 he was Governor of several Caribbean island colonies. In 1874 he was granted the pension of a retired colonial governor and lived out the remainder of his life in the parish of Whitchurch near Tavistock, Devon, where he lived in seclusion until his death on November 30, 1901, survived by his wife, four sons and a daughter.

There are statues of Eyre in Adelaide and New South Wales and in 1970 an Australia Post postage stamp bore his portrait. South Australia's Lake Eyre, Eyre Peninsula, Eyre Creek, Eyre Highway, Edward John Eyre High School, the Eyre Hotel in Whyalla and the electoral district of Eyre in Western Australia, are all named in his honour, as are two villages, a forest and creek in New Zealand.

The Eyre Highway. Edward John Eyre was the first European to traverse the coastline of the Great Australia Bight and the Nullarbor Plain by land in 1840-1841, on an almost 2,000 mile or 3,200km trip from Adelaide to Albany, Western Australia. Three decades later, the East-West Telegraph line was installed. Constructed between 1875 and 1877, it followed the same route after John Forrest retraced Eyre's route in 1870 and confirmed its suitability. An inland route across the Nullarbor was established with the 1912 to 1917 construction of the Trans Australian Railway from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie. With few roads or tracks encountering the line, most of it was only accessible by rail. The construction of the telegraph

Edward John Eyre had resulted in a trail that could be followed for interstate travel but was so haphazard a route that only the more adventurous motorists would travel it. The Eyre Highway is a 1,660 kilometre highway linking Western Australia and South Australia via the Nullarbor Plain and this only sealed road linking the two states, was constructed between July 1941 and June 1942. Although still not much more than a track, efforts to seal it eventually began in 1960 with the Western Australian section completed in 1969 and the South Australian section finished in 1976.

Originally named Forrest Highway after John Forrest, it was officially renamed and gazetted Eyre Highway, a name agreed by the states' nomenclature committees. This highway was assessed by the Australian Automobile Association in 2011 to be among the lowest risk highways in the country. Roadhouses serving the highway are the only settlements on the stretch through Western Australia, located 65 to 180 kilometres apart and where the road stretches for 146.6 kilometres without any bends and it is signposted and commonly known as the ‘90 Mile Straight’.

Because of its remoteness, some widened sections of the highway serve as emergency airstrips for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. These airstrips are signposted, having runway pavement markings painted on the road, and turnaround bays for small aircraft.

Although I have only written some very basic facts here of this man’s life, I found his life story at Australian Dictionary of Biography extremely interesting.

BOOK REVIEW The Suspect

by Michael Robotham Joseph O’Loughlin appears to have the perfect life- a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist, but nothing can be taken for granted.

When a young woman is found dead with multiple stab wounds, all of them selfinflicted, the police ask Joe for help. The body he views at the mortuary turns out to be a former colleague, and when a patient of Joe’s alludes to his own involvement in the murder, Joe finds himself caught in a complex web of deceit. *Michael Robotham is a fabulous writer.

Always gets you in and nothing too complicated. There are many crime writers out there but he’d have to be one of the better ones.

FOOD

VERTIGO WAKE WILD

by Lynne Hume

I`m a slimmer by trade and frequently weighed.

No high calories for me.

No icecream and jelly.

No big floppy belly.

Please. No milk in the tea.

I married my dream.

We were both very lean.

What a handsome couple we made.

I cooked and I cared, Steaks and cakes shared.

Married bliss was how I was paid.

The married years flew.

The exercise too, mores to be the pity.

For here I sit instead of happy and fit I`m just fat and hippy.

And now I look at his pot.

What have I got?

Where`s that boy that I WAS married to?

The girl he married that day Took him away And left me here sitting with you.

TATURA COMMUNITY CUBBY HOUSE NEWS Babycinos, gardening, dancing and library fun are just some of the things the children have been experiencing and having fun with at Occasional Care during May. One of the great things about The Cubby Occasional Care is that the children get to interact with other people in the community. Last week the children came and enjoyed a warm drink in the Community House Coffee Hub and got to chat with other people having a cuppa. Whilst they were there, they got to listen to some Singing Day rehearsals and have a dance.

Visiting the library has now become routine, with most of the children having their own library card and bag. They even know the library staff by name! Encouraging early literacy is very important and Tarja and her team create some wonderful learning experiences for the children.

0-6 year-olds per session and have offered this friendly, nurturing service to the families of Tatura and surrounds for 35 years. We are delighted to welcome our new families, who have usually got to know us by coming in for an hour or two at a time with their children which is something that we encourage prospective families to do as well to make sure we are the right fit for your child.

The Cubby is part of the Tatura Community House and is located in the orange building beside the Children’s Centre (enter via Kerferd Street). We operate Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays during school terms. For enquiries phone 58 241 315. First day back in Term 3 is
